Talking like the Back, David Vasse. We are live at Dodgers Stadium after
the Royals defeed the Dodgers tonight by a final score of seventy two. Welcome
the Dodger Talk David Vase with you until the top of the hour. Phone
lines are open at eight six six nine eighty seven two five seventy. The
bigger loss for the Dodgers was Yoshi Yamamoto, who had to leave the game
after the second inning because of right tricep tightness. And I can't get enough
of watching the video clip of Mark Pryor running through the dugout to get roberts
attention to let him know things were not good with Yama Moto, and that
just tells me. Dave Roberts was taken a little bit by surprise. As
you heard him during the Clubhouse show. He said that obviously the Dodgers were
aware that Yamamoto had tricep tightness in his right arm during this past week,
and in fact I was too, maybe not the exact diagnosis, but it
was a little concerning on Tuesday afternoon when I got to Dodger Stadium and you
see Yamamoto out there playing catch on flat ground, which is normal for starters
after making a recent start. But what was abnormal was how many people Dodger
personnel were watching Yamamoto play catch. That is not normal. You had both
pitching coaches out there, you had the GM of the Dodgers out there,
Brandon Gomes, you had a group of trainers out there along with his translator
Hero That is not normal. And we found out the day after that,
on Wednesday, that Yamamoto would not be making his start on Thursday, and
in fact, would be pushed back two more days, a total of seven
days of rest. Five days of rest is not quote normal rest. That's
extra day rest, which the Dodgers have been doing since the beginning of the
season for Yamamoto, but you know Paxton, but primarily for Yamamoto, who's
used to that type of schedule pitching in Japan. So we all knew,
or if you were paying attention, you would know that something was up.
And it wasn't just the Dodgers saying he exerted a lot of energy. They
obviously did not want to give up any sort of competitive advantage by revealing exactly
what was going on with Yamamoto. But you heard what Yamamoto had to say
during his press conference after the game that he did feel tightness again as he
was warming up in the bullpen, and felt it even more as the game
was going along. So this was not a surprise to anybody, but certainly
disappointing to everybody. Because Yama Moto is going on the IL, let's be
very clear about that. He's not just going to get another five or six
days rest. The good news for the Dodgers is, with Yamamoto going on
the IL, Bobby Miller is set to return, and he's going to come
back on Wednesday at cors Field. And this is the reason why when you
call in and you say, oh, man six six man rotation, how
are the Dodgers going to do it? Who's being sent down when Bobby Miller
comes back. This is why those questions are essentially irrelevant because so much can
happen between then and now, and a lot can happen between now and then
as far as games being played and the possibility of injuries, especially to pitchers.
So when you know petro some money and Fred Rogan are asking me,
well, who's the odd man out in the rotation? Uh, well,
this is the reason why there is no odd man out, because injuries occur,
especially when you have two very fragile pictures at the top of your rotation.
And let's be clear, the biggest challenge for the Dodgers the rest of
the year is keeping glass Now upright and sharp at the same time, and
also finding a way to get Yamamoto back because you need both of these guys.
And I know there's been a lot of attention to the Dodgers acquiring another
bat in the outfield. In the infield, yes, I would say I
wouldn't be opposed to that, but I know a lot of people that cover
the Dodgers that are around the feel like, you know what, they could
probably use another starting pitcher that could possibly start a Game three of a playoff
series. And this is a sobering reminder that you never have enough pitching.
Eight six six nine, eight, seven two five seventy is the phone number.
Royals beat the Dodgers tonight seven to two. Blake Trinan gave up his
first runs of the season. Prior to tonight, he had pitched in fifteen
games and was dominant in each and every one of those. But in the
sixth inning you could see he wasn't sharp with his pitches. He was walking
guys, Guys were hitting the ball even though they were outs to the warning
track. And then MJ. Melendez battled Trinan for a twelfth pitch at bat
and got him on the twelfth pitch on a grand slam. Melendez, leading
up to that fouled off six consecutive pitches and finally hit a flat cutter for
a grand slam. Let's head downstairs right now to hear from Blake trying.
That's probably the pitch I had the most field fortnite, but it also handcuffed
me because I can't keep throwing anybody in this league the same pitch over and
over again. The biggest thing is just what the walks. I mean,
I don't walk people, and when I walk people, you know, this
league makes you pay. It doesn't matter who the hitter is in the league.
You can live with solo shots, you can live with, you know,
a couple of knocks, but when you give them free bases like it
never puts with us, So it's a frustrating one from that perspective. Yeah,
with that at that was that one, and just I guess you kind
of said defelt handcuffed. Just the rest of your pitches generally, feel like
you had anything kind of else tonight. Yeah, I mean with pass Quentina,
he tried to two seamer away with in a full count, and I
mean his way off on competitive, so it's kind of takes away that opportunity.
And against Melndez and you don't hop through him a good slider the pitch
before and you know he was on it. It was a good, good
slider down and the one before that, I tried to go back foot he
spit on. So he just started, you know, trying to figure out
how you're going to get weak contact. And you know, any of one
of those pitches he popped up could have been, you know, a pop
fly out down the line, stayed in bowns for Barnes, or stayed in
play for Barnes. But they just they just carried and you know, he
won the battle. It's unfortunate for us. You know, it's ever fun
being the guy that you know gives up a Grand Slam it kind of takes
the wind out of the sales for the team. All Right, there is
Blake Trinan who gave up his first runs of the season. It's going to
happen. And quite honestly, what Trinan had done in his first fifteen appearances
was remarkable. Eight six six nine, eight seven two five seventy is the
phone number. The reason being remarkable is because he had n't pitched in a
major league game for two years and came out as nasty and dominant as we
have seen him. Let's go out to Rex, who was at Dodgers Stadium
tonight. Hi, Rex, you're on Dodger Talk. Hey, David,
great to talk to again. Hey, we were at the game. We're
obviously rooting for the Dodgers. You and I have this conversation about this time
every year, and I just looked at Dave Roberts when he went to the
mounds, and I looked at my girlfriend and I said, this is not
going to be good. And somehow, some way, you give up the
worst possible results that you could give up. I'm just can I just stop
you right there? I felt like Dave Roberts actually did a great managing job
there unfortunately trying and just couldn't deliver for him, because after Roberts went out
there to you know, look in Tryna's eyes, not send out his pitching
coach, he went out there himself to gauge the temperature of where Trina was
at and also get the feedback of Austin Barnes. I loved that, but
unfortunately Trynon just couldn't put away a buck sixty one hitter in MJ. Melendez.
If he does, we're all talking about what a great move that was.
Would you have put in another picture at that point, knowing that he
had fled off balls? Well, Rick Corix, it was getting it was.
He did bring in another pitture after that, because after the Melendas at
bat and the Grand Slam, it was at thirty nine pitches for trying at
that point in time. Ideally, Tryna would have retired the next two batters
on a minimum number of pitches. It didn't work out that way. But
I will say this, if you remember back when I first started hosting Dodger
Talk, Kevin Kennedy uh was my co host, and one of his cardinal
rules and most managers' rules, is you don't bring in a reliever with no
margin for air at that point in time, bases loaded one out, not
a lot of margin for air for Anthony Banda. No disrespect to Anthony,
who's been really good for the Dodgers. I want Blake trynon out there,
to try to get out of his own mess. I just feel like tonight
was not his night, and that was Dave Roberts chance to go, Hey,
I need to make a smart decision hair bring in someone else. And
the result was at that point, essentially the game was over. I mean,
we were rooting for the Dodgers to come back, but that's a death
blow. And it just seems like in these critical moments we've got to make
different decisions in the management. That was a different decision. He didn't take
him out, and if he was going to take him out, he should
have done it before the bases were loaded. But I thought what he did.
I love seeing he bet on a veteran reliever that has been absolutely dominant.
But you're right, he wasn't good tonight. He was off tonight.
But I feel like if it works out after he goes out there to look
in his eyes to actually he talked to him directly and not send out his
pitching coach, and it works out and he gets out of that jam.
You and others are calling in to say, well, probably not even calling
in because nobody calls in when it works out. All right, thanks for
the phone call, It's true. Eight sixty six nine eight seven two five
seventy is the phone number. I have tapped in to a few of my
trusted doctors around the city of Los Angeles, and without going into their doctors
speak, including my father in law. Basically, Yamamoto's tricep tightness is not
what the panic on social media is suggesting that it's automatically directly related to the
elbow, the ligaments around the elbow. It's not. So let's all take
a step back and wait to hear what the examination of Yamamoto is tomorrow.
But this is not an automatic Tommy John surgery. In fact, if you
talk to a doctor, an orthopedic surgeon, you will find out that it's
anything but that. Eight six six nine seven two five seventy is the phone
number. Let's go out to Dan who was at the game tonight. Hi,
Dan, you're on Dodger Talk. Hey Dave, how's it going.
Hey, I'm here with my dad. We're leaving the game right now.
He's there. Hey, Happy Father's Day, Dad. Hey, So we
were excited to see Yamamoto tonight. We hope for the best for him.
My question to you, Dave is you know, I think Blake is a
more of an eighth or ninth inning guy to bring him in in the sixth
instead of Yarborough, who came in the ninth. I just want to get
your thoughts on that. I think Yarborough maybe should come in the ninth and
save Blake for later. What do you think? Well, number one,
I'm sure Dave Roberts did not want to bring in Ryan Yarborough at all.
He had just thrown three innings in that bullpen game two games ago. This
game went sideways, Dan, This is not what the Dodgers wanted to happen.
Dave Roberts was trying to piece together a game that saw one of his
best starters leave after the second inning. So, uh, you know,
this bullpen has been used quite a bit the last three games. Two bullpen
games in the last three games. So if anybody's calling into question how Dave
Roberts deployed his pitchers, I mean, this is a fire drill after Yama
Moto comes out in the second inning. Well, good answer, Dave,
thank you all right, it's the right answer. Eight six six nine eight
seven two five seventy is the phone number. We're gonna take a time out
here on Dodger Talk. When we come back, more of your phone calls.
And also we will check in with Jose Moto. We'll get his thoughts
on what he heard from Yamamoto and Dave Roberts earlier on the Clubhouse Show.
The Royals beat the Dodgers tonight seven to two on A five seventy LA Sports
on air at AM five seventy online at AM five seventy LA sports dot com,
and available my podcast on the iHeartRadio app. This is Dodger Talk with
David Bassi. We are live at Dodgers Stadium. This is Dodger Talk after
the Dodgers fall to the Royals seven to two tonight at Dodger Stadium. And
they're looking to win the series tomorrow afternoon or face losing both of these series
that the Dodgers came home to play against the Rangers and the Royals, that
would not be good. And they're looking for Tyler Glass now to give them
an ace type of start. What makes an ace is not just winning twenty
games or eighteen games. These are the type of games that make aces.
We have seen Clayton Kershaw do it for the majority of his career, and
that's what the Dodgers need from Tyler Glass now tomorrow, which is given the
Dodgers a quality start, limiting the Royals to three runs or less, but
also going beyond the sixth inning and hopefully getting through seven at the very least,
to give the bullpen a little bit of a breather, because not only
do they lose Yamamoto tonight and essentially have to go to a bullpen game,
but because they were trying to give Yamamoto a couple of extra days, they
went to a bullpen game on Thursday. So they've had two bullpen games in
the last three days and they have to go to Corse Field starting on Monday
for a four game series. Did I mention the Dodgers are in the middle
of playing twelve in a row. Those are the layers that a manager like
Dave Roberts has to deal with in real time. That was not an understatement
to the last caller. Tonight was a fire drill with that bullpen. Daniels

Dream. It's time to go around the Horn with Hosean Mota. Dodgers fall
to the Royals tonight seven to two, and jose Mota More importantly, the
Dodgers lose. Yoshi Yamamoto likely headed to the fifteen day IL. Have you
ever heard of pictures going on the IL with tricep tightness and how severe has
it been with others? Yes, I have heard about this. I've seen
it happen with a couple of teams actually close friends of mine that went through
it as before. And it's one of those muscles where obviously you know you
have connecting muscles and going in different directions. Happy to be careful because you
start favoring one part, like you start forcing the shoulder too much and then
starts affecting the elbow and then you start kind of pronating baseball. It's not
a good thing. The best thing to do is because it's it's it's right
between your shoulder and your elbow, to take it as easy as possible to
get letigate fully stretched out because of a muscle needs to be stretched out for
your pitch. And you got to play the safest card here because obviously you
do not want to risk anything else on somebody that he just signed for long
term. Bill. Yeah, no doubt, and the Dodgers have done a
great job of airing on the side of caution. They gave him two extra
days rest because he was feeling that tricep tightness and he said it wasn't a
direct effect of his big start at Yankee Stadium. I thought it was interesting
in that start Jose lost in the ninety eight miles an hour and the one
hundred and seven pitches. Was he threw the most sliders in that start.
Then he has as a Dodger, do you feel like maybe that created some
tightness or soreness with that many sliders that he hasn't thrown a lot, And
as I understand it really didn't throw much his last year in Japan because he
said it gave him some pain. So Dave that's a backstory right there that
it's viable. It's something that you have to look at. Was it the
sliders, was the fact that he's throwing it more. I know that the
Dollgers were very careful when they reintroduced his pitch, and he was very careful
too, not bring it into a game right away until he felt comfortable,
because they went to a different grip just to make sure that whether there was
bothering him in Japan when he threw it often, was not going to be
affecting him here. Now with all of this, I mean, you know
the way Yoshi throws, the way he trains, it's not as usual.
It's not as linear as other guys. Do. You know, he doesn't
have the in between star routine that other guys do when it comes down to
modern baseball and pitchers with the weights and different things like that. But now
you also have the biometrics issues with baseball, where guys know exactly where they
stand. They have so many ways to measure this. They put a band
on you in different parts of your body to see how muscards are twitching,
how fast you're reacting. So the Dollers one of the most advanced teams are
franchises in all the sports with disregard is I've been by players themselves had known
everything about what's going on with Yamamoto, and they were not gonna put it
at risk. But at the same time, feedback they're getting is that perhaps
at this time they need to be a little bit more careful with this.
Did you notice anything in those first two innings that tipped you off that maybe
he was not feeling his best outside of the fact his fastball velocity was significantly
lower. The last pitch he threw was at ninety two point nine miles an
hour. I looked at Peppa looked at me, and I'll go, what
happened there? That was the only indication I got, And I go,
maybe it was his cut fastball, because obviously your cut fast was not gonna
throw at ninety five ninety six miles in all. But I did see the
ninety six on the first batter of Michael Garcia. So at that point,
Dave, I didn't have a clear answer or something that just tipped me off.
I just thought, well, maybe you know, we didn't see ninety
six at sinning because he's will throw more than this two seamer or his cut
fast from So that was pretty much all I can base it on. Yeah,
it wasn't it wild Jose. You see ninety eight at Yankee Stadium,
and then night you see him with his four seam fastball at ninety four,
then ticking down to ninety three, then ticking down to ninety two. It
always opens eyes in Remember this happened with Shohil Tani Angels in a day game.
I remember this, and he's throwing ninety eight two one hundred miles an
hour. Two starts later, he's not going past ninety three, and it
had nothing to do with his arm. But with the fact that you say,
who's fatigued. I'm not saying there's a case right now with Yamamoto,
But I know for a fact that when things start to bother somebody like Yamamoto,
they're gonna take the most contious way of saying, I'm not going to
battle through this. I gotta be honest and open about this, because he
so concentrated on the team that I am quite sure it goes through his mind.
I don't want to put the team in jeopardy, he expressed obviously after
his last start, when he had the soreness to be open about him not
sure I muscles did it. So you know, in all this day the
thing is like culturally, it's incredible learning lesson for these guys when they come
to America to face this some circumstances and demand the situation. So at least
he's very open about saying this is how I felt. So I'm not going
to go out there and geopardize my team losing and obviously geopardize my health.
Jose Mota is joining us after the Royals beat the Dodgers tonight seven to two.
All right, obviously the Yamamoto story is the biggest story of the game.
But how do you explain Seth Lugo doing that to the Dodgers tonight.
I know he's been really good all season long and was good with the Padres
last year, but this is supposed to be a better offense than what we're
seeing. You know what, Seth lugu reminded me of Michael Lorenzen. You
go back and look and put these guys right next to each other, screen
the screen, and pretty much where's the heart of the plate. How many
pitches did he make there? How much of the repeat pitches and repeat location?
And they I mean the Dodgi's offense. We know they they want to
sit on patterns and they're very good about that. And when they say but
he tipping is they saw you know Lugu did last year. They can get
to it fast. But now Seth Lugo is not the same Seth Lugo that
they saw in San Diego. And they guy that come you know into today
with an era over six against the Dodgers is again a learners lessons about what
to stay away from and what to go to in situations where the Dodge looks
like another pitcher because he has such good command of all those pitches, he
was able to go up and baffle them. So Lorenzo Lugo, you put
it next to each other and you see a lot of similarities. So this
team on the offensive side needs to find a way to figure out byf like
this because a it'll get around the league very quickly. When you're not hitting
fastball, they're gonna see a lot of fastballs. But when you're not hitting
things that will be a mixed and pitch backwards to also is going to get
around. So the jonsphes must come very quickly. Yeah, and tomorrow it's
not going to get any easier against Brady Singer, who has really stifled the
Dodgers in his first two starts against them, even going back to last year.
Are you talking about the same style pitcher tomorrow? Sinker slide? He
can do the same thing. Now, he's more of a power sinker.
He's not a you know, he's not dunning throwing the ball at eighty nine
nine to aive miles an hour. So the adjustments are going to have to
be made in terms of what's going to be a strike, what's going to
be a ball. And that's where you have to go out there and say,
Okay, he's got enough power to get the four scene to me and
maybe get it in on me, but you got to get something up to
gain something. And I know that last time they faced him in Kansas City,
he was nothing by getting bent over time and time again without breaking ball
and did not give up. So we'll see what kind of patter he brings
tomorrow, especially when he gets a little bit of trouble, because he will
stay with that until you beat him. And on all the mentality with you
know, Kansas City, the pitching coaches, you know, Brian Sweet has
been starting the game for a long time. He's got a nice you know,
a lifelong but lines in baseball and it's about until you get beat by
with this pitch, don't change anything. So we'll see how it started.
But you got to go out there and take away that sinker and do something
the batter's box that takes away movement and challenges him and gets it, gets
it. Maybe out of that mentality, perhaps you can buy yourself a couple
more four seems, which is what everybody wants to hit. It will be
nice if the Dodgers can score early and give Tyler glass Now a lead to
work with, because if they do that, I feel like that's a recipe
for success for glass Now and the Dodgers. Well, that's for sure.
And then you know you have a guy that you have baptized Zace. Obviously
tomorrow the day aces are meant to stop losing streaks and to start winning streaks
and from Tyler glass Now. Another issue too, Dave, is you know
the guys that are beating the Dodgers, and I don't know that anybody in
the batters box can beat you in the big League. But go back to
Jonathan India's go back to Jack Zoinski, go back to and J Blendez today
and go back to Tran Gusha. That's a pattern that perhaps I would like
to see stop, because they're beating not the big guys beating there, but
guys with lesser names of being with a whole run ball. Great point,
Jose, thanks for bringing that up, but it's reality, and you're right.
Yeah, you don't want the judges to beat you, but you certainly
don't want the one to sixty one hitters to beat you as well. We'll
talk to you tomorrow after the game, Jose. Hopefully it's a happy flight
to Denver. Yes, sir, have go with there, He goes,
Jose Mota, part of the Dodgers Spanish radio broadcast with Fernando Valezuela and Pepe
and Ningez. Eight six six nine eighty seven two five seventy is the phone
number. Dodgers fall to the Royals tonight seven to two. Yamamoto likely headed
to the IL but the one thing we know is certain Bobby Miller will be
back. He will pitch Wednesday at coors Field. Let's go out to West
Covina. David, you're on Dodger Talk how you doing, David? Good,
David, how you doing? I appreciate your work, man, but
I have a question again about the second half of the lineup. Why are
we not shaking up the lineup? Why can't we get the sixth hitter in
the fourth spot or the fifth spot shake it up a little bit because we're
not producing and Andy Rose down there, we're getting hit every now and then,
but that's about it. What is Robert speaking with the bottom half and
why can't he mix it up? Okay? Well, first and foremost,
David, if you heard Rick Monday during the broadcast tonight, he pointed out
the fact in the last sixteen games the Dodgers seven to eight nine hitters are
hitting a combined two ninety, so they are starting to turn it around.
The biggest frustrating part tonight out of that group of hitters was Cavin Bigio,
who got the start at third base tonight and he struck out looking three times.
And that's very much on brand. He's a guy that walks a lot
and doesn't swing the bat, and our understanding is that's part of the frustration
the Blue Jays had with Bigio and ultimately decided to trade him. So he's
got to start swinging the bat on pitchers inside the strike zone. Gavin Lux
tonight drove in the only two runs as the eight hitter with the bases loaded.
So it's all not just lumping everything into one bucket, David. There
are different guys, and obviously right now the Dodgers are starting to get more
production out of their seven, eight, nine hitters. Okay, so,
but so Vargas got sent down, Alman's down, Alman's doing better. Do
you think Alman will come back if there's an injury. He will, But
I'm not sure who you would bring him up to play for, because the
Dodgers are not going to call up Autman just to sit on the bench.
That would derail the momentum he's built at Oklahoma City to try to work his
way back and getting closer to getting his swing back. So, unless there's
an injury, I don't see it happening, David, So correct me if
I'm wrong. CT three is going to remain on the team because he's got
some upsite. Is that what it is? Because he's a bench player and
only plays twice a week. He's a veteran that has come up with a
lot of big hits, including his first big hit of the season last night,
a game tying home run. I don't want to bring up a Vargas
or an outman and sit them for five of the seven games you're playing in
a week. Chris Taylor is used to that role. He's a veteran uh
and obviously scuffling. You don't want those two guys to come up here and
sit. Okay, my last question, a Braa was released with the Astros.
Correct, Yes, what wouldn't that be something to pick up and hoping
that we can fix him because he's got some history of being really, really
good. We know that. Where would he play? Are you gonna play
him over Freddie Freeman? You're gonna play him over? Show Aotani outfield.
He does not play the outfield. They all play, I mean with utility
wherever we can use that bad because he can't do anything. It's not good.
Do you think the Astros would have defaid him, owing him forty million
dollars if he was still good? Well? I don't know. I know
the don is sixty I've before. Hey, thanks for my call. All
right, you're welcome for your call. Eight six six nine eight seven two
five seventy is the phone number. Yeah, let's just wave a magic wand
over Jose Abraeu and he'll become a great player. Craig Bigio is here,
how about the Dodgers add him to the roster and they'll fix him and get
him to play at fifty years old, eight six six. I bet Craig
Bigio would swing the bat. You should tell Cavin to start swinging it a
little bit more. Let's go out to Ben and Conoga Park. Ben,
you're on Dodger Talk. How you doing, Ben David? Thank you for
taking my call. Yeah, you know, I think I've seen enough of
Bizio to be honest. I didn't mike his air the other night when he
was playing third base and he came up in a big spot with the bases
loaded, and he's struck out looking. And that wasn't the first time you
did that in the ballgame. I'm having flashbacks to JD Drew. Right,
and listen. I loved your interview, by the way with Bobby Witt Junior.
I listened to that in the pregame. I wish you would give some
of those interviewing tips to Mookie bet all right, Ben, thank you,
Bobby Wood Junior a great young man. I really enjoyed meeting him, first
time I ever met him, and it was great, So I appreciate it.
Ben, thank you, and you can find that interview on the iHeartRadio
app. Bobby Wood Junior actually revealed to us that his father, Bobby Wood
Senior, only hit one home run here at Dodger Stadium, and it was
against right hander Ishmael Valdez, who was known for having a lot of blisters.
Eight six six nine, eight seven two five seventy is the phone number.
Let's take one more phone call, Gilberto and San Diego. You're on
Dodger Talk. How you doing, Gilberto? Movie? Oh, Tom,
bien todo bien ustada ki, I see enjoy and joined the games. I
mean jewin some, you lose some, but uh, I don't know what
a lot of people are seeing. But the bottom half of the lineup they're
starting to produce. They're starting to take good at bats, and that thing
is gonna be turned around. And I feel bad for Yamamoto, but I'm
so glad that Friedman always has a lot of pictures. We always have a
lot of pitching, So this is gonna be a good stretch. For the
Dodgers, and they had to pull pull it together, and they will.
That's yeah. The good news is Bobby Ice is on his way back next
Wednesday. So I know everybody was wondering who's the odd man out. Well,
Yamamoto is on the il. So Bobby Miller's return is coming at a
great time. Yeah. Just remind him to keep the boat low. Okay,
over there, just keep it low. He loves doing that. He's
one of the few young pitchers that practices pitching fastballs down and a way from
right hander, so he's good at that. Hey, Gilberto, a last
de la padre man. Okay, he one manday and listen. I remember
two years ago that you mentioned about an upcoming star for the Dodgers, and
we can see it right now. His name Gavin Stone. I remember you
saying that he is gonna be electric, and he has become a great picture
right now. I hope he keeps it going. Okay, he will.
He's a great young man and doesn't get too big of a head. He's
still humble and hungry. Thanks Gilberto. That'll do it for us on Dodger
Talk tonight tomorrow, the Dodgers will try to win this series against the Royals.
Tyler Glass now will be on the mound for the Dodgers on Father's Day.
He's six and five with an ERA at three twenty four, going up
against Brady Singer, who's four and three with an ERA of three point thirty
and two career starts against the Dodgers. He has done pretty well. He's
only given up one run in thirteen innings, including going seven innings last year
in Kansas City and limiting the Dodgers to one in a nine to one Kansas
City victory. But the Dodgers are looking to change that tomorrow afternoon. Our
coverage begins at noon with Morongo Casino Dodgers on deck. First pitch on Father's
Day from Dodgers Stadium with Rick Monday and Tim Neverett at one ten thanks to
calling me back at our Burbank studios. Thanks to Dwayne McDonald who's already on
