Visit Tankless Made Simple dot Com. 17 00:01:25.719 --> 00:01:29.159 The Dodgers walk it off six to five, and look, I'll be 18 00:01:29.239 --> 00:01:34.079 honest with you, this would have been a really tough loss to talk about 19 00:01:34.200 --> 00:01:38.120 because of the way the Dodgers played the first six to seven innings of the 20 00:01:38.159 --> 00:01:46.719 game tonight. They had multiple chances to actually give themselves extra breathing room, 21 00:01:46.840 --> 00:01:51.120 but they did not cash in when they had those opportunities. And then in 22 00:01:51.159 --> 00:01:55.840 the eighth inning, Blake Trinen was not himself at the beginning of that inning. 23 00:01:56.359 --> 00:02:00.799 He spiked what was going to be a sacrifice spunt by Jay McCarthy. 24 00:02:00.239 --> 00:02:05.280 It gets by Gavin Lux who was covering second base. Maybe he could have 25 00:02:05.359 --> 00:02:08.719 done a better job to keep it in front of him. Gabrielle Moreno scores 26 00:02:08.800 --> 00:02:15.800 the tying run after Otani gave this sellout crowd fifty two nine thirty one life 27 00:02:16.039 --> 00:02:22.199 hitting a go ahead two run home run halfway up the right field pavilion, 28 00:02:22.479 --> 00:02:25.280 and the Dodgers gave it right back in the top of the eighth inning, 29 00:02:25.719 --> 00:02:31.680 and you always hear players, managers, coaches talk about when you score in 30 00:02:31.800 --> 00:02:38.319 one half of the inning, it's very important to put up a zero the 31 00:02:38.360 --> 00:02:42.560 next half to keep the momentum on your side. You score one, they 32 00:02:42.599 --> 00:02:47.240 score one, You score one, they score two. That's deflating to your 33 00:02:47.360 --> 00:02:53.199 dugout into the guys behind you. But luckily for the Dodgers, as Jason 34 00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:59.240 Hayward told me in Chicago, and this is a great time to relay this 35 00:02:59.439 --> 00:03:06.439 one more time in Chicago, our friend John Hartongue Sports Net LA, the 36 00:03:06.560 --> 00:03:12.080 host that is the most unselfish host out there, gave me a heads up. 37 00:03:12.120 --> 00:03:15.479 They were going to ask me what my biggest takeaways of the first eighty 38 00:03:15.520 --> 00:03:21.199 one games were, and I thought, you know what, it would be 39 00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:27.800 more powerful to ask somebody in that clubhouse what their thoughts is on what stands 40 00:03:27.840 --> 00:03:31.639 out the most from the first eighty one games. So I asked my baseball 41 00:03:31.800 --> 00:03:39.080 or Dodger twenty twenty four conscience, Jason Hayward, what he thought, and 42 00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:44.919 he gave me a great answer that applies tonight. That the Dodgers have freestyled 43 00:03:44.960 --> 00:03:51.879 all season long, whether it's beating the expectations or blocking out the expectations and 44 00:03:51.960 --> 00:03:57.400 spring training, with the money, the offseason the Dodgers had, or whether 45 00:03:57.479 --> 00:04:02.280 it's the guy's going down with injuries or just individual games like this where they 46 00:04:02.280 --> 00:04:08.560 have the freestyle and figure out a way to come back and be resilient. 47 00:04:08.960 --> 00:04:12.840 And tonight in the ninth inning, tonight, in the seventh inning, you 48 00:04:12.960 --> 00:04:17.079 saw that from the Dodgers. They could have very easily just said, you 49 00:04:17.160 --> 00:04:21.480 know what, Seawald's really good tonight, We're just gonna give up this game 50 00:04:21.879 --> 00:04:26.959 and we have a eight to nine game lead, and they did not do 51 00:04:27.120 --> 00:04:30.199 that. Will Smith is not giving away at bats. He can't afford to 52 00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:33.800 give away at bats. He hasn't been swinging the bat that great, so 53 00:04:33.959 --> 00:04:39.480 for him to get a clutch, two out double to put himself in scoring 54 00:04:39.560 --> 00:04:45.120 position got that inning started. And then you have the most professional hitter in 55 00:04:45.199 --> 00:04:49.319 Major League Baseball, Freddie Freeman at the plate, who you know, you 56 00:04:49.360 --> 00:04:55.600 see other guys get two strikes on him, you become very nervous. You 57 00:04:55.720 --> 00:04:58.800 kind of feel like, Okay, this guy is striking out or it's not 58 00:04:58.920 --> 00:05:03.160 going the right way. But when Freddie Freeman is down in account o two, 59 00:05:04.279 --> 00:05:12.959 you don't have that sort of pessimistic attitude towards what's going to take place. 60 00:05:13.079 --> 00:05:15.560 And I don't know about you, but that's the way I felt standing 61 00:05:15.560 --> 00:05:19.680 next to the Dodger Dugout. I thought Freddy had to plan the entire time 62 00:05:20.079 --> 00:05:23.920 and the one thing. And I told him this after the game. I 63 00:05:23.920 --> 00:05:28.800 have heard him say multiple times, I'm looking for a strike, and he 64 00:05:28.959 --> 00:05:32.079 was looking for a strike O two and he was able to drive it to 65 00:05:32.120 --> 00:05:39.120 tie the game. And how many times have we talked about the most underappreciated 66 00:05:39.160 --> 00:05:44.720 part of Freddie Freeman's game is his base running. Did you know how good 67 00:05:44.720 --> 00:05:48.000 of a base runner Freddie Freeman was when he was playing in Atlanta? I 68 00:05:48.199 --> 00:05:54.000 certainly did not. But he values ninety feet and with two outs, and 69 00:05:54.040 --> 00:05:58.560 you have a very aggressive third base coach Dino Ebel, who does his homework 70 00:05:58.639 --> 00:06:02.959 before every game, knows the strength of the outfield arms, knows the accuracy, 71 00:06:03.160 --> 00:06:08.360 knows the tendencies, and he's got a base runner like Freddie Freeman at 72 00:06:08.399 --> 00:06:13.560 second base. That was him sending him all the way and the throw is 73 00:06:13.600 --> 00:06:16.839 offline. Freddie Freeman slides home safe. He was out of breath after the 74 00:06:16.920 --> 00:06:21.000 game, and the Dodgers win, and the Dodgers needed this win. I 75 00:06:21.040 --> 00:06:25.759 know you might say, and the guys in that clubhouse might say, what 76 00:06:25.839 --> 00:06:29.680 are you talking about, Vassay, We have a ten game lead in the 77 00:06:29.720 --> 00:06:33.079 lost column. We had a seven and a half game lead coming into the 78 00:06:33.120 --> 00:06:38.480 game tonight, Padres got shut out by the Rangers seven to nothing. What 79 00:06:38.639 --> 00:06:43.279 are you talking about we needed this game? Well, here it is. 80 00:06:43.879 --> 00:06:48.279 You guys just lost a very disappointing series to the Giants, who are not 81 00:06:48.480 --> 00:06:54.519 better than the Dodgers, and they got blown out in San Francisco. I 82 00:06:54.560 --> 00:06:58.240 don't care how big you think your lead is and how much you think about 83 00:06:58.279 --> 00:07:02.600 October. That was embarrassing on Sunday to get blown out at Oracle Park. 84 00:07:03.279 --> 00:07:08.720 So the Dodgers needed to come back tonight and win this game and start this 85 00:07:08.839 --> 00:07:13.079 series on the right foot. If they lose this game, they have a 86 00:07:13.160 --> 00:07:19.680 losing record against two NLS Division foes they have lost. They have a losing 87 00:07:19.720 --> 00:07:24.720 record against the Padres. They're just three and five this year against the Padres, 88 00:07:25.040 --> 00:07:29.240 and coming into the game tonight, they were just five hundred against the 89 00:07:29.279 --> 00:07:32.720 Diamondbacks, the team, by the way that swept you out of the playoffs 90 00:07:32.720 --> 00:07:38.480 in the first round. Let's not forget that either, right, Are we 91 00:07:38.560 --> 00:07:42.800 just just going to forget that part of it too? So that's why this 92 00:07:43.000 --> 00:07:46.680 was a big win for me, and it would have been a very disappointing 93 00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:51.079 and disheartening loss. Eight six six nine seven two five seventy is the phone 94 00:07:51.160 --> 00:07:56.879 number. Let's go out to Gilberto and San Diego. You're on Dodger Talk 95 00:07:56.959 --> 00:08:00.600 with David Veasse. All right, I'll put them back on hold for now. 96 00:08:00.680 --> 00:08:05.399 Let's head downstairs to sports net La.

Oh yes, 126 00:09:58.399 --> 00:10:03.360 And I I learned something alone time ago that my dad told me you never 127 00:10:03.759 --> 00:10:09.200 leave the game until it's over, And tonight was watch just one of those 128 00:10:09.240 --> 00:10:13.639 games. I like what I'm seeing. I like the struggles they've been having 129 00:10:13.200 --> 00:10:16.879 and how they come through. I love what they did tonight that they never 130 00:10:16.960 --> 00:10:24.159 gave up. I think they listened to our conversation from last year that if 131 00:10:24.200 --> 00:10:28.639 they didn't put it together, they will play spirit airlines. Remember that conversation. 132 00:10:28.080 --> 00:10:35.039 Oh how can I forget it? But it was great. I mean, 133 00:10:35.519 --> 00:10:39.159 I love what they're doing and I hope they keep it going. And 134 00:10:39.240 --> 00:10:41.960 I'm gonna go home right now and vote for the Oscar to make sure that 135 00:10:43.000 --> 00:10:46.080 he's in the All Star Game.

That would mean a lot. And you can 141 00:11:05.639 --> 00:11:09.879 hear his thoughts on it on our IG live on the A five seventy LA 142 00:11:09.960 --> 00:11:13.200 sports account. Let's go out to Danny, who is at Dodger Stadium tonight 143 00:11:13.279 --> 00:11:18.120 part of a sellout crowd. Danny, I hope you stayed all the way 144 00:11:18.159 --> 00:11:20.720 through. Well, you know I did, Dave. I could never leave. 145 00:11:22.240 --> 00:11:24.799 I saw people hitting the exits when Otani struck out of the ninth, 146 00:11:26.240 --> 00:11:28.440 and I don't know how you do that. Man. You got Will Smith 147 00:11:28.480 --> 00:11:31.480 and Freddie Freeman coming up one run down. You can't leave that game, 148 00:11:31.519 --> 00:11:35.159 and they showed you exactly why let him? Let it come back? And 149 00:11:35.559 --> 00:11:39.559 I love what you were saying about. It's yeah, it's July one and 150 00:11:39.559 --> 00:11:43.200 they got a big lead in the they lose this one. What's the big 151 00:11:43.240 --> 00:11:46.399 deal. But the reason you want to win Thames is because a game like 152 00:11:48.440 --> 00:11:50.720 a fourth late innings sworn runs, you want to win that game. You 153 00:11:50.720 --> 00:11:54.519 know this is like, that was like a playoff type of game because of 154 00:11:54.759 --> 00:11:58.000 the sosos of it. Those are the types of games you want to win. 155 00:11:58.080 --> 00:12:01.519 If you're a championship team, you're gonna win those games. And great 156 00:12:01.639 --> 00:12:05.360 job on Bobby Miller. I was walking up to the stadium stay talking to 157 00:12:05.519 --> 00:12:09.159 myself, and I'm like, what would be a good Bobby Miller start today, 158 00:12:09.519 --> 00:12:11.679 considering you know, the season's happened, and I was thinking to myself, 159 00:12:11.720 --> 00:12:15.360 you know what, five innings, two runs, I'll take it. 160 00:12:15.399 --> 00:12:18.279 And that's exactly what we got. Dave, great game to day, heck 161 00:12:18.279 --> 00:12:20.759 of a comeback by the boys. Love it, Danny Way to stay all 162 00:12:20.799 --> 00:12:24.840 the way through, Appreciate it. Eight six, six nine, eight seven, 163 00:12:24.919 --> 00:12:28.679 two five seventy. You know, Bobby Miller showed me something in that 164 00:12:28.759 --> 00:12:33.639 fourth inning because we have seen innings like that just completely implode. And Bobby 165 00:12:33.679 --> 00:12:39.519 gave up the game tying to run home run to the Dodger killer, Christian 166 00:12:39.559 --> 00:12:45.120 Walker. But after that he loaded the bases and he there was nobody out. 167 00:12:45.519 --> 00:12:48.799 That game could have got away from Bobby and the Dodgers really quick, 168 00:12:50.080 --> 00:12:52.559 like we have seen in other starts that he has made, but he kept 169 00:12:52.600 --> 00:12:56.240 his composure, and he found a way to get out of that fourth inning 170 00:12:56.519 --> 00:13:01.559 throwing thirty one pitches. I mean that the game could have got away right 171 00:13:01.600 --> 00:13:05.720 there in the fourth inning with bases loaded and nobody out, but then he 172 00:13:05.759 --> 00:13:11.799 was able to get Alec Thomas, then Heraldo Perdomo, and also was able 173 00:13:11.840 --> 00:13:15.639 to get Corbyn Carroll, who was not the same Corbin Carroll from a year 174 00:13:15.679 --> 00:13:18.440 ago, to end the inning. So he retires the side in order after 175 00:13:18.480 --> 00:13:24.039 giving up a game tying to run home run and also loading the bases with 176 00:13:24.159 --> 00:13:26.600 nobody out. That showed me a lot. Let's head downstairs right now, 177 00:13:26.600 --> 00:13:31.600 speaking up my guy Bobby Miller. He's speaking to reporters on Sports at LA. 178 00:13:33.159 --> 00:13:35.200 Definitely, I wish I could have given him more innings, but at 179 00:13:35.200 --> 00:13:39.519 the end of the day, it's a step forward for me. I mean, 180 00:13:39.559 --> 00:13:41.519 to get away with this stuff I had today. I feel pretty good 181 00:13:41.519 --> 00:13:46.080 about it because that definitely was not my best stuff today, but I got 182 00:13:46.120 --> 00:13:50.960 away with it and got through five biggest part of the game was definitely bases 183 00:13:50.000 --> 00:13:54.080 loaded. Now it's really glad I got that. Got a lot really like 184 00:13:54.240 --> 00:13:58.279 energetic after that, and Doc talked to me a little bit settled down a 185 00:13:58.320 --> 00:14:01.840 little bit, re group, and that's what I usually do after showing a 186 00:14:01.840 --> 00:14:05.240 lot of emotion out there. You know, I'll just deep brass regroup and 187 00:14:05.519 --> 00:14:09.799 go back and get a shutdown inning because I knew the game was close on 188 00:14:09.799 --> 00:14:11.360 a new our offense was gonna do the job and get us back in the 189 00:14:11.399 --> 00:14:16.519 game. Hey, Bobby Miller was top stepping at the rest of the game. 190 00:14:16.639 --> 00:14:20.159 He was where his feet were during that fourth inning and that's how he 191 00:14:20.240 --> 00:14:24.720 was able to get out of that bases loaded, nobody out jam eight six 192 00:14:24.840 --> 00:14:28.799 six nine seven two five seventy is the phone number, by the way, 193 00:14:30.559 --> 00:14:35.879 want to add insult to injury. Do you really want Jock Peterson coming into 194 00:14:35.919 --> 00:14:39.440 your own house, the team that he used to play for October in July 195 00:14:39.919 --> 00:14:46.000 to beat you with two outs and running the bases and showing that emotion after 196 00:14:46.080 --> 00:14:50.200 being embarrassed two out of three in San Francisco. That would not have set 197 00:14:50.279 --> 00:14:54.879 well with me. And uh. Thankfully the Dodgers were able to be resilient 198 00:14:54.000 --> 00:14:58.519 in that ninth inning and have the guys that they count on, Will Smith, 199 00:14:58.600 --> 00:15:03.080 Freddie Freeman and Taoscar Hernandez come to the rescue. Let's go out to 200 00:15:03.320 --> 00:15:07.159 Justin who is part of the sellout crowd tonight, Justin, you're on Dodger 201 00:15:07.240 --> 00:15:11.799 Talk. Hey, Dave, long time listener, first time caller. Appreciate 202 00:15:11.840 --> 00:15:16.159 you having me on. Yeah, it was a great atmosphere, especially that 203 00:15:16.240 --> 00:15:18.879 show. Hey, home run the place exploded. Love being there for that. 204 00:15:20.759 --> 00:15:24.039 I just wanted to comment on the resiliency that everybody's been talking about. 205 00:15:24.159 --> 00:15:28.120 It's great to see the guys siding back when you know things aren't going great. 206 00:15:28.159 --> 00:15:31.360 That fourth inning was huge, especially hard to tell from my seat, 207 00:15:31.360 --> 00:15:35.879 but I seem like Bobby really only had his fastball working, you know, 208 00:15:35.919 --> 00:15:39.039 the way it's supposed to. So yeah, he actually showed a good curveball 209 00:15:39.080 --> 00:15:43.159 to get himself out of that basis loaded jam. In the fourth inning, 210 00:15:43.200 --> 00:15:46.279 he started doubling up on the curveball. So the curveball was a weapon for 211 00:15:46.360 --> 00:15:50.840 him tonight as well. Great to see it. And yeah, and hopefully 212 00:15:50.879 --> 00:15:52.600 you know, works out the kings. He just said, you know, 213 00:15:52.720 --> 00:15:54.320 didn't have his best stuff, and that just shows, you know, his 214 00:15:54.919 --> 00:15:58.080 not best stuff gets us, you know, five innings of two run ball. 215 00:15:58.360 --> 00:16:00.679 Hopefully that's a good sign for the rest of the year. Once he 216 00:16:00.720 --> 00:16:03.720 does get it. Strained out, So all right, justin thanks a lot 217 00:16:03.759 --> 00:16:07.679 for the phone call, appreciated. Eight six six nine eight seven two five 218 00:16:07.840 --> 00:16:14.159 seventy is the phone number. Another layer to this series and why tonight was 219 00:16:14.159 --> 00:16:18.279 such a big win. The Dodgers get the win tonight. Before the game 220 00:16:18.320 --> 00:16:23.759 today, the Diamondbacks place Tomorrow's scheduled starter, Jordan Montgomery on the injured list 221 00:16:23.799 --> 00:16:30.279 with right knee inflammation. So the Diamondbacks are scrambling for a starter tomorrow. 222 00:16:30.679 --> 00:16:34.240 With Zach Gallon looming in the final game of this series. The Diamondbacks lined 223 00:16:34.279 --> 00:16:41.639 up Gallen specifically to pitch on Thursday against the Dodgers here at Dodgers Stadium. 224 00:16:41.759 --> 00:16:45.480 So if you lose this game and you have Zach Gallon looming on Thursday, 225 00:16:45.559 --> 00:16:49.600 who is really good? You have an uphill climb to try to win this 226 00:16:49.720 --> 00:16:55.639 series and that would have been problematic. Eight six six nine eighty seven two 227 00:16:55.720 --> 00:16:59.639 five seventy is the phone number. Dodgers walk it off with two outs in 228 00:16:59.679 --> 00:17:03.119 the nine against the Snakes six to five. Let's go out to Eric in 229 00:17:03.160 --> 00:17:07.319 Hollywood. You're on Dodger Talk. How you doing, Eric, God Jered 230 00:17:07.440 --> 00:17:14.640 day shot? Wow, what a great win. David will Smith stepping up 231 00:17:14.640 --> 00:17:19.079 against Seawold. The guy had a point zero five four er. Great job 232 00:17:19.119 --> 00:17:22.920 Will Smith, I mean, his bat hasn't been there, but he came 233 00:17:22.039 --> 00:17:26.240 up tonight. Then Freddy bringing it home. And gotta give it up to 234 00:17:26.279 --> 00:17:30.480 Bobby m I know everybody's been mentioning to him right now, but man, 235 00:17:30.559 --> 00:17:33.519 base is loaded after giving up the tying up and tying the game up and 236 00:17:33.559 --> 00:17:37.720 then he just he just took care of business after that. Man, Good 237 00:17:37.839 --> 00:17:41.720 job, Bobby. I hope he's turning something around for him. And you're 238 00:17:41.799 --> 00:17:48.519 right, man, the snake suck and it just it's great to see the 239 00:17:48.599 --> 00:17:52.160 Dodgers balling. And migal Rojas had a little bit of kind of like some 240 00:17:52.240 --> 00:17:55.319 balls hit to him and stuff like that. But you know what, I'm 241 00:17:55.319 --> 00:17:57.680 not tripping, you know what I mean. The team stepped up, everybody 242 00:17:57.799 --> 00:18:02.400 rallied around, and they won this game. And that's what and that's what 243 00:18:02.440 --> 00:18:04.000 I love about this team. You know what I mean. You're gonna run 244 00:18:04.000 --> 00:18:07.480 into some little missteps here and there, and you know what, Hey, 245 00:18:07.880 --> 00:18:11.920 you're not gonna get to every ball, but guess what, we won the 246 00:18:11.000 --> 00:18:15.319 game. We won the game, and that's the most important thing. Yo, 247 00:18:15.440 --> 00:18:19.599 David feeling it. Obie here feeling it in Hollywood, bro feeling it. 248 00:18:19.680 --> 00:18:23.160 Let's take the series, man, I'm loving it all right, Eric, 249 00:18:23.160 --> 00:18:26.960 thanks a lot for the phone call. Appreciate it. Eight six six 250 00:18:26.200 --> 00:18:30.640 nine eighty seven two five seventy is the phone number. Dodgers walk it off 251 00:18:30.680 --> 00:18:37.960 against the Diamondbacks six to five. It was a two out rally against Diamondbacks 252 00:18:37.000 --> 00:18:42.640 closer Paul Sewald Will Smith with a two out double and Freddie Freeman followed with 253 00:18:42.680 --> 00:18:48.039 a double of his own to tie the game and ta Oscar Hernandez to win 254 00:18:48.119 --> 00:18:51.559 it in the bottom of the ninth inning. We had a chance to catch 255 00:18:51.640 --> 00:18:56.079 up with Freddy moments after the winning run was scored by fast Freddie Freeman. 256 00:18:56.440 --> 00:19:00.640 I'm here with Wheels Freeman. Not only does he tie the score, but 257 00:19:00.680 --> 00:19:04.960 he scores the winning run. Take us through being down two against Sea Wall, 258 00:19:06.000 --> 00:19:08.440 who was pretty tough against lux and Otani before you. Yeah, you 259 00:19:08.480 --> 00:19:11.599 know, I just we know. He's got a good heater that has a 260 00:19:11.640 --> 00:19:12.599 lot of riyes, just trying to be on top of it, straight to 261 00:19:12.720 --> 00:19:17.200 it. So he likes sater in certain counts and he should be out top 262 00:19:17.240 --> 00:19:19.960 of the eater. I heard you in my head saying I'm looking for strikes. 263 00:19:21.240 --> 00:19:22.279 Yeah, I should show you at the first one, and I would 264 00:19:22.279 --> 00:19:26.319 a strike two, but I took that one. But uh no. Overall, 265 00:19:26.319 --> 00:19:29.440 what a great heaving to We'll get it going, getting it through and 266 00:19:30.039 --> 00:19:33.480 ending it Freddy, When Tao Oscar gets that ball through the left side of 267 00:19:33.519 --> 00:19:36.319 the endfield, what are you is seeing? As far as the read from 268 00:19:36.359 --> 00:19:37.960 second base, all I'm seeing is looking at Tino. I'm trying to give 269 00:19:38.039 --> 00:19:41.960 everything I got, and you know I'm gonna go and until he stops me. 270 00:19:42.000 --> 00:19:45.039 And he was waving his arm, so I gave everything I got. 271 00:19:45.279 --> 00:19:48.160 Does it make it easier to get a secondary with two outs? You know? 272 00:19:48.200 --> 00:19:52.359 I was trying to get a secondary, but the teams we've been playing 273 00:19:52.440 --> 00:19:53.599 lately have been running a lot of second base back picks, so I was 274 00:19:53.640 --> 00:19:56.160 kind of looking for a glove dropping that situation. So I was a little 275 00:19:56.200 --> 00:19:59.880 bit shorter on my leave. I was trying to make a big secondary and 276 00:20:00.079 --> 00:20:03.599 hit off. Ever since you became a Dodger, we have valued how much 277 00:20:03.640 --> 00:20:07.400 you value ninety feet. That was really fun to watch you score from second 278 00:20:07.480 --> 00:20:10.240 I appreciate it. Bribably, isn't looking very fast out there, but I'm 279 00:20:10.319 --> 00:20:12.799 going to fast not good. I I I'll score. Hey, it counted. 280 00:20:12.920 --> 00:20:17.000 I appreciate. Thank you, Dared there. He is Freddie Freeman, 281 00:20:17.160 --> 00:20:19.440 one of not only the best hitters in baseball, but one of the best 282 00:20:19.640 --> 00:20:25.240 base runners in baseball. He is just a complete player, and he certainly 283 00:20:25.319 --> 00:20:27.799 is a pleasure to watch. Eight six six nine eighty seven, two five 284 00:20:27.920 --> 00:20:32.160 seventy is the phone number. We're going to take a time out here on 285 00:20:32.240 --> 00:20:36.440 Dodger Talk.

The Dodgers score two runs with two out of the bottom 298 00:21:45.240 --> 00:21:49.519 of the ninth inning with their last breath. They take the series opener from 299 00:21:49.559 --> 00:21:57.160 Arizona. Rick Monday and Stephen Nelson on the call tonight as the Dodgers defeat 300 00:21:57.200 --> 00:22:03.599 the Diamondbacks six to five in Game one of this three game series. This 301 00:22:03.720 --> 00:22:07.000 is Dodger Talk. David Vasse with you until the bottom of the hour, 302 00:22:07.400 --> 00:22:12.160 and our friends at Daniels Jewelers.

Daniels Jewelers own the Dream. I will say this. We got 306 00:22:27.720 --> 00:22:33.160 to give Gavin Luck some props. In the seventh inning, he let off 307 00:22:33.240 --> 00:22:37.079 the bottom of the seventh inning with a walk to set up show Hey Otani's 308 00:22:37.279 --> 00:22:42.480 monster go ahead two run home run in the bottom of the seventh inning. 309 00:22:42.799 --> 00:22:47.960 Otani's home run just would have tied the game if Lux does not turn the 310 00:22:48.000 --> 00:22:52.160 lineup over by getting on base with a leadoff walk. That was one of 311 00:22:52.240 --> 00:22:56.599 the best at bats that I've seen Lux have in that ninth spot this year. 312 00:22:56.039 --> 00:23:00.519 Eight six six nine seven two five seventy is the phone number. Show 313 00:23:00.599 --> 00:23:07.960 Hey Otani tonight recorded his five hundredth and five hundred and first RBIs with that 314 00:23:07.039 --> 00:23:12.279 two run home run that went and estimated four hundred and thirty three feet. 315 00:23:14.119 --> 00:23:17.440 He is on fire. And I was, you know, I'm not trying 316 00:23:17.480 --> 00:23:21.839 to name drop here, but Brad Paisley was in the house and we were 317 00:23:21.880 --> 00:23:26.640 talking about Otani that this does not seem like a hot streak for Otani. 318 00:23:26.200 --> 00:23:33.200 His cold streak of that twenty five game stretch before Father's Day that seemed to 319 00:23:33.319 --> 00:23:37.759 be an outlier more than what we're seeing right now. Otani, though, 320 00:23:37.960 --> 00:23:42.400 is on fire. I feel like this is another level. Since taking over 321 00:23:42.440 --> 00:23:48.519 the leadoff spot because of Mookie's injury, Otani is hitting three eighty. He's 322 00:23:48.640 --> 00:23:52.599 been just a monster for the Dodgers since Father's Day. And if you remember, 323 00:23:52.720 --> 00:23:56.160 on Father's Day he was hitting second. That's when he broke out of 324 00:23:56.200 --> 00:24:00.559 his slump when he hit two home runs. Speaking Mookie Betts, we had 325 00:24:00.559 --> 00:24:06.160 a chance to catch up with MOOKI on our and five to seventy LA Sports 326 00:24:06.279 --> 00:24:11.559 Instagram Live this afternoon, and he is not wearing a cast. It's more 327 00:24:11.599 --> 00:24:15.759 of a metal brace that gives his fingers a little bit more breathing room. 328 00:24:15.240 --> 00:24:19.599 And I found it interesting that he revealed he gets scans, whether it's an 329 00:24:19.720 --> 00:24:26.799 X ray or maybe a little bit more of a detailed scan on his left 330 00:24:26.799 --> 00:24:33.279 hand every week to check on the progress of the healing of his bones in 331 00:24:33.319 --> 00:24:37.640 his left hand. And he said, by all accounts, it's healing nicely, 332 00:24:37.799 --> 00:24:44.240 so he's encouraged. And he was throwing earlier this afternoon from about ninety 333 00:24:44.279 --> 00:24:48.160 feet out there on the left field grass with Brandon McDaniel, and he had 334 00:24:48.359 --> 00:24:53.400 Dino Ebels's youngest son, Trey, catching for him like a quarterback getting ready 335 00:24:53.440 --> 00:24:57.519 for a game, because he obviously can't put the glove on and catch. 336 00:24:57.799 --> 00:25:03.480 So that's the this on Mookie Betts and later in the show, we will 337 00:25:03.519 --> 00:25:07.039 get you on that date, update on Clayton Kershaw, and we will get 338 00:25:07.119 --> 00:25:11.119 more of your phone calls here. But first we want to check in with 339 00:25:11.160 --> 00:25:15.480 our guy, Jose Moda. It's tough to go around the horn with Jose 340 00:25:15.759 --> 00:25:19.759 Mota, all right, Jose Mota, be honest with us. Did you 341 00:25:19.799 --> 00:25:25.960 feel like the game was over with two outs in that ninth inning? Freddy 342 00:25:26.079 --> 00:25:30.880 Freeman up, No, never you mentioned it. Freddie Freeman understands situations. 343 00:25:32.440 --> 00:25:34.960 And the game's not over, Freddie, until the last ruck is thrown. 344 00:25:36.000 --> 00:25:38.319 And for Freddy to say score it up against together. That's been so tough 345 00:25:38.319 --> 00:25:42.359 against everybody else. At some point you know the battle is going to shift 346 00:25:42.400 --> 00:25:45.000 the other way against Sea Wold, and tonight was his night. I mean, 347 00:25:45.079 --> 00:25:49.079 think about this too. If you have that base open and you're thinking 348 00:25:49.079 --> 00:25:55.039 about who's hitting behind and Freddy he saw the first pitch was the slider right 349 00:25:55.119 --> 00:25:59.079 on the black outside. Okay, a little back door slider. But Freddy 350 00:25:59.160 --> 00:26:02.559 has to have the ability to say it doesn't matter if the visit to the 351 00:26:02.599 --> 00:26:08.440 Mountain was about being careful and pitching. To me, pitchers do make mistakes, 352 00:26:10.240 --> 00:26:14.279 and O two is exactly what Sewell did not want to do. Freddie 353 00:26:14.359 --> 00:26:18.079 was ready to hit. There's some hitters now that they know very well in 354 00:26:18.119 --> 00:26:22.480 that type of situation, they get themselves caught thinking, well, maybe he 355 00:26:22.559 --> 00:26:25.000 wasn't gonna bitch to me, baby. No. No, Freddy's like pitch 356 00:26:25.079 --> 00:26:27.920 to me. I expect to see something. Because he's also telling himself don't 357 00:26:27.920 --> 00:26:30.720 expand his own because they're going to be careful with you. But you have 358 00:26:30.799 --> 00:26:36.319 to be ready to hit strikes, and he was. And also Will Smith 359 00:26:36.440 --> 00:26:40.079 was the one that started that too out rally. He did not let Seawall 360 00:26:40.200 --> 00:26:42.839 get too deep in the count. He was very aggressive early on. How 361 00:26:42.880 --> 00:26:47.440 important was that? That was huge because you know, Will Smith had a 362 00:26:47.519 --> 00:26:49.960 very poor month of May, very poor month of June, and he's been 363 00:26:49.960 --> 00:26:53.359 missing pitches where he's been getting out of the ball early in counts. He's 364 00:26:53.480 --> 00:26:56.039 very good with two strikes, but I think right now the best thing is 365 00:26:56.039 --> 00:27:00.480 going to benefit him is to be aggressive early and try to drive the baseball, 366 00:27:00.880 --> 00:27:03.480 especially a big part of the field, which Aaron Base speaks to me 367 00:27:03.039 --> 00:27:06.960 a lot about. You know, certain times against hitters, he goes, 368 00:27:07.000 --> 00:27:08.559 I don't want the homer, I want a line drive up the middle. 369 00:27:08.880 --> 00:27:12.079 As how as you can and let the ball travel whatever's going to do. 370 00:27:12.160 --> 00:27:15.440 But certainly he wants an aggressiveness and I think for will Smith, hopefully that's 371 00:27:15.440 --> 00:27:18.920 a good indication because he did a good, very tough picture today. Jose, 372 00:27:19.119 --> 00:27:22.920 How big of a win is this for the Dodgers? I felt like 373 00:27:22.960 --> 00:27:26.880 this would have been a tough one to swallow with the way the Dodgers played 374 00:27:26.000 --> 00:27:30.359 late in this game and Jock Peterson hitting the go ahead home run off of 375 00:27:30.400 --> 00:27:34.599 Phillips with two outs. How big of a win is it considering the Dodgers 376 00:27:34.640 --> 00:27:40.039 just got beat pretty badly in San Francisco, and you know, they would 377 00:27:40.039 --> 00:27:42.920 have had a losing record against Arizona if they lost tonight. Oh, Dave, 378 00:27:42.960 --> 00:27:47.680 there's no doubt. I can say enough that you have to learn and 379 00:27:47.680 --> 00:27:49.960 you have to enjoy winning games like this. It's great to blow people away. 380 00:27:51.039 --> 00:27:52.960 That's great to blow out you know, but you have to learn how 381 00:27:53.000 --> 00:27:56.960 to win games like this, and is by staying on the game every single 382 00:27:56.079 --> 00:28:00.480 out, every single pitch, and then not having to and only on the 383 00:28:00.480 --> 00:28:03.200 middle of your order. It's a great blessing when it comes up that way 384 00:28:03.240 --> 00:28:07.400 and they do their jobs. But you know, with a nine to nine 385 00:28:07.440 --> 00:28:10.799 record coming into today. In one run games, you figure something goes amid 386 00:28:10.960 --> 00:28:15.319 sometimes in these type of situations, and it's not about looking for the long 387 00:28:15.359 --> 00:28:18.799 ball. It's about having good productive bass to Oscar give him a lot of 388 00:28:18.839 --> 00:28:21.240 credit. Today, Telsker put the ball in play and he ended up with 389 00:28:21.279 --> 00:28:23.480 your RBIs And that's something that he has been speaking to me about. He 390 00:28:23.519 --> 00:28:29.880 goes. It seems like sometimes I get myself thinking too much about driving instead 391 00:28:29.880 --> 00:28:33.440 of just going. What's a situation calling for? Is it maybe a ground 392 00:28:33.480 --> 00:28:36.519 out to take the RBI? But it is big. But Dave, you 393 00:28:36.519 --> 00:28:38.079 know I was talking about like Whitey Herz when I was a kid, telling 394 00:28:38.079 --> 00:28:41.839 me something like this about winning games like this, about the playoffs and just 395 00:28:41.839 --> 00:28:45.400 getting your mind ready as he did for his teams in Saint Louis and other 396 00:28:45.440 --> 00:28:51.160 Buck clubs. But understand that these games are the ones that drain you the 397 00:28:51.200 --> 00:28:55.400 most, and these are the games that you enjoy winning also the most. 398 00:28:55.680 --> 00:28:59.880 No doubt, mister Momentum was changing jerseys quite a bit tonight, and the 399 00:29:00.119 --> 00:29:04.079 Dodgers had the last laugh six to five, coming from behind with two outs 400 00:29:04.079 --> 00:29:08.759 in the bottom of the ninth inning. Jose Mota joins us after the Dodgers 401 00:29:08.839 --> 00:29:12.920 beat the Diamondback six to five at Dodgers Stadium. And I don't know if 402 00:29:12.920 --> 00:29:18.400 you heard what I said earlier, but you know, Shoho Tani has really 403 00:29:18.480 --> 00:29:25.079 caught fire after hitting two hundred for a twenty five game stretch. You've seen 404 00:29:25.119 --> 00:29:29.680 him more than I have. Is this the norm or is this higher than 405 00:29:30.319 --> 00:29:33.880 the normal baseline for Otani when he's hot? Oh, this has been elevated 406 00:29:33.920 --> 00:29:38.559 because of the environment and the expectations. And yeah, honestly the contract and 407 00:29:38.559 --> 00:29:44.359 everything that's on showhial tiny right now and talk about leading off, and you 408 00:29:44.400 --> 00:29:48.359 know he knows and expects in just in Joe's the moment. I mean, 409 00:29:48.920 --> 00:29:53.000 Japanese Sarah is nine fifty two thousand plus the Dodgers get over two million today, 410 00:29:53.000 --> 00:29:56.200 by the way, in forty second date, that's pretty amazing. But 411 00:29:56.359 --> 00:30:00.279 to come up in that situation and hit a ball as long as he when 412 00:30:00.279 --> 00:30:03.160 the whole stadium is like, I want to see shoy here at home run 413 00:30:03.160 --> 00:30:04.680 as a fan, right, and there it was. He delivered once again. 414 00:30:04.759 --> 00:30:08.599 It's like following the script. And I mean, I always think that 415 00:30:08.720 --> 00:30:12.839 you are a product of your environment. I'll never stop saying that I believe 416 00:30:12.880 --> 00:30:17.359 in that I've seen it happen wait too many times in this environment, and 417 00:30:17.559 --> 00:30:21.359 his teammates are making him take it to a new level. It's pretty amazing. 418 00:30:21.720 --> 00:30:23.359 All right, Jose, thanks a lot for checking in. We'll see 419 00:30:23.400 --> 00:30:27.079 you tomorrow night at Dodgers Stadium, Dodgers looking to make it two in a 420 00:30:27.160 --> 00:30:33.839 row over the Snakes. Buenos Nochez. All right, Buenos Nochez. Jose 421 00:30:33.039 --> 00:30:37.880 Mota part of the Dodgers Spanish radio broadcast with Pepe and Ninguez, who has 422 00:30:38.039 --> 00:30:45.119 one of the great voices in broadcasting, and the legendary Fernando Valenzuela. Eight 423 00:30:45.200 --> 00:30:48.759 six six ninety seven two five seventy is the phone number. Dodgers beat the 424 00:30:48.799 --> 00:30:53.759 Diamondbacks tonight six to five in front of a sellout crowd of fifty two thousand, 425 00:30:55.279 --> 00:30:59.000 nine hundred and thirty one. Let's go back out to the phones. 426 00:30:59.200 --> 00:31:03.759 Roy in Van Nice, you're on Dodger Talk live from Dodger Stadium. Hi, 427 00:31:03.839 --> 00:31:07.559 Roy, Hey, it's great to hear from you. Hey. You 428 00:31:07.599 --> 00:31:12.000 know, speaking of Otani, he reminds me of when Mark McGuire had a 429 00:31:12.039 --> 00:31:17.279 sixty home run season in Saint Louis I was in Saint Louis and it was 430 00:31:17.319 --> 00:31:22.799 a similar deal. I mean, mcguild was just swatting bombs, you know, 431 00:31:22.519 --> 00:31:26.200 and you had that same and the thing that you mentioned, It's like, 432 00:31:26.960 --> 00:31:29.880 is this guy from another planet? You know? I mean it was 433 00:31:30.519 --> 00:31:33.079 it was saying kind of a similar thing. Just amazing, you know. 434 00:31:33.279 --> 00:31:37.599 I mean every home run it seemed it was a bomb, you know, 435 00:31:37.640 --> 00:31:41.640 and he carried it through the whole season. Yeah, I can't. You 436 00:31:41.680 --> 00:31:44.759 know. McGuire was a right handed hitter. He was a slugger. He 437 00:31:44.839 --> 00:31:49.680 was a really good first baseman. But I feel like Otani being a left 438 00:31:49.680 --> 00:31:53.680 handed hitter and doing what he's doing. The closest thing I could think of 439 00:31:53.759 --> 00:32:00.000 as far as this dominant and the mystique that surrounds him is very Bonds and 440 00:32:00.079 --> 00:32:02.839 we all know what you know took place with Bonds in San Francisco. But 441 00:32:04.200 --> 00:32:07.160 he was a great hitter and a great player. You can't take that away 442 00:32:07.160 --> 00:32:09.160 from him. Thanks for the phone call, Roy, Let's go out to 443 00:32:09.240 --> 00:32:13.119 Trey in West LA. You're on Dodger Talk. How are you doing, 444 00:32:13.160 --> 00:32:16.119 Trey David? Hello, sir, how are you my man? Well? 445 00:32:16.160 --> 00:32:20.519 I'm doing better now than I was in the top of the ninth inning. 446 00:32:21.519 --> 00:32:24.160 Well, I feel you there. Excellent, Yes, indeed, and you 447 00:32:24.160 --> 00:32:30.480 know, cheers to Giberto and Jose Mota as we definitely know, you never 448 00:32:30.599 --> 00:32:36.000 leave the game and over till it's over. Kudos to Bobby for really focusing 449 00:32:36.119 --> 00:32:38.480 in that fourth. I agree with you. He definitely showed some growth there. 450 00:32:39.119 --> 00:32:44.000 And you know, what a hell of a win. Jerry Harriston Junior 451 00:32:44.039 --> 00:32:46.799 said it after the game. Even you know it's Tuesday, we're playing the 452 00:32:46.839 --> 00:32:51.839 Diamondbacks, and you know it's early July. But this really was the heck 453 00:32:51.880 --> 00:32:55.119 of a win, a real confidence boost me win. And if we might 454 00:32:55.160 --> 00:33:00.599 go back to a couple earlier calls that we had for everyone that was calling 455 00:33:00.599 --> 00:33:04.880 for chopping heads in you know, late April, early May with Taylor and 456 00:33:05.920 --> 00:33:12.680 you know, Monday, Monday quarterbacking on Doc's decisions. You know, baitball 457 00:33:12.799 --> 00:33:16.279 is like the ocean when you're surfing. You got to respect it, you 458 00:33:16.359 --> 00:33:21.160 got to be patient, you ride the highs and the lows, and ultimately 459 00:33:21.240 --> 00:33:24.400 you come out that tube and victory. And that's what we did tonight and 460 00:33:25.119 --> 00:33:30.240 just a great win. I really appreciate it, and just everybody listening right 461 00:33:30.279 --> 00:33:37.039 now God bless this team and want to wish everyone God blessed wonderful Independence Day 462 00:33:37.279 --> 00:33:39.599 for the greatest country, the United States of America. Everyone have a wonderful 463 00:33:39.640 --> 00:33:44.079 holiday. Are you reading from a prepared statement right now? Trey, No, 464 00:33:44.279 --> 00:33:46.240 sir, No, sir. This is exceparaneous. All those that was 465 00:33:46.359 --> 00:33:50.759 very eloquent. Thank you for the phone call. I appreciate that. And 466 00:33:51.400 --> 00:33:54.240 we'll see you on fourth of July, hopefully here at Dodger Stadium a great 467 00:33:54.240 --> 00:34:02.400 fireworks show after Thursday night's game against the Diamondbacks. Seventy is the phone number. 468 00:34:02.519 --> 00:34:06.920 Let's go out to Luis in La. You're on Dodger Talk. Hi, 469 00:34:07.000 --> 00:34:12.119 Luis, Hi, David like like I mean, I'm like you right 470 00:34:12.159 --> 00:34:15.360 now after the Ninetheenny, I'm excited about the win. Glad they pulled it 471 00:34:15.400 --> 00:34:20.320 off. This is one of the most exciting wins in the season, other 472 00:34:20.400 --> 00:34:23.679 than the Game two of the Yankee Series in New York when when Oscar hit 473 00:34:23.719 --> 00:34:28.320 the Grand Slam. Yeah, the Oscar to the rescue that night too. 474 00:34:29.400 --> 00:34:34.679 Of course, we've got to vote him in anyway. Just concerned about about 475 00:34:34.679 --> 00:34:39.840 the bullpen. Everybody besides Ramirez and Daniel Hudson, but I know who would 476 00:34:39.880 --> 00:34:46.400 have thought that Blake trining And yeah, Blake, Blake's not looking like himself 477 00:34:46.719 --> 00:34:52.320 lately. And Evan Phillips, you know, he's been human here lately. 478 00:34:52.079 --> 00:34:54.840 He'll get it back on track. He's got pitches that you have to have 479 00:34:54.880 --> 00:35:00.599 a feel for. But Blake Trinon has looked very human the last week or 480 00:35:00.639 --> 00:35:02.480 so, so I'm with you. Louise. Hey, Louis, you mentioned 481 00:35:02.559 --> 00:35:08.599 voting for Teoscar Hernandez mouki Otani. If I give you this one hundred dollars 482 00:35:08.599 --> 00:35:13.960 gift card to Superior Grocers, will you vote the rest of the night. 483 00:35:14.960 --> 00:35:19.679 Yeah, I'll vote. Done. You get that one hundred dollars gift card 484 00:35:19.719 --> 00:35:22.519 to Superior Grocers. Luise, thanks for listening.

And for another chance to win, listen Sunday 487 00:35:31.880 --> 00:35:37.320 through Thursday games in the top of the sixth inning for Andre Ethier. Yes, 488 00:35:37.440 --> 00:35:43.440 the real Andre Ethier's Q to call and you could win a one hundred 489 00:35:43.480 --> 00:35:46.800 dollars gift card to Superior Grocers. Stream all the games in HD on the 490 00:35:46.840 --> 00:35:52.559 iHeartRadio app. Keyword and five to seventy LA sports. All right, we 491 00:35:52.599 --> 00:35:58.679 had a chance before tonight's exciting finish to catch up with Clayton Kershaw. As 492 00:35:58.719 --> 00:36:01.920 you know, after his first rehab start, he felt soreness in his left 493 00:36:01.920 --> 00:36:07.840 shoulder felt even more when he was trying to throw a bullpen session after that 494 00:36:07.920 --> 00:36:12.559 rehab start, and the Dodgers had to throttle him back. Today was the 495 00:36:12.599 --> 00:36:16.679 first day we've seen him since all that took place, and Kershaw actually walked 496 00:36:16.760 --> 00:36:22.440 up to me and a couple of beat riders and offered some answers. You 497 00:36:22.519 --> 00:36:25.079 know, I feel like it's been pretty the upward trajectory has been pretty steady, 498 00:36:25.239 --> 00:36:28.599 you know, up to this point. And I don't really want to 499 00:36:28.599 --> 00:36:31.719 call it a setback. I just think it's just like just getting your feet 500 00:36:31.760 --> 00:36:37.039 underneath you a little bit. And I don't feel like it'll delay the process 501 00:36:37.079 --> 00:36:39.639 by that much. And you know it today felt good and I'll throw a 502 00:36:39.639 --> 00:36:43.920 bullpen here pretty soon and get right back at it. I don't know, 503 00:36:44.159 --> 00:36:46.119 you know, I don't know, so just it could be part of it. 504 00:36:46.119 --> 00:36:50.719 It could be just a little hiccup. I don't know, but you 505 00:36:50.760 --> 00:36:52.679 know, I was able to get some shots and feel better with it and 506 00:36:53.280 --> 00:36:57.760 kind of go from there. Dave said that there was the way he put 507 00:36:57.800 --> 00:37:00.760 it was when you had the MRIO show no new incident, was that a 508 00:37:00.840 --> 00:37:06.320 relief or yeah, definitely. I mean nothing nothing new, you know, 509 00:37:06.360 --> 00:37:09.320 it's just there's some old man shoulder a little bit, you know, there's 510 00:37:09.360 --> 00:37:13.559 somewhere and tire in there, but nothing new, so which kind of means 511 00:37:13.599 --> 00:37:15.800 you can kind of push through stuff, you know. So that's what that's 512 00:37:15.800 --> 00:37:19.280 what I'm gonna do. And you know, I think having this little, 513 00:37:19.440 --> 00:37:22.000 you know, couple of day reset should help. All right, There's Clayton 514 00:37:22.039 --> 00:37:27.679 Kershaw giving us an update on how his left shoulder is feeling. And look, 515 00:37:27.719 --> 00:37:32.679 he sounded relieved that that MRI did not show any new damage to that 516 00:37:32.800 --> 00:37:37.199 left shoulder. He's gonna throw a bullpen session tomorrow and we'll see how he 517 00:37:37.280 --> 00:37:42.880 comes out of it. But after that, but I'll be very transparent with 518 00:37:42.920 --> 00:37:46.639 you. He's coming off a major shoulder surgery. He hasn't had a bump 519 00:37:46.639 --> 00:37:52.599 in the road up until this shoulder soreness over the course of the last seven 520 00:37:52.679 --> 00:37:55.559 or ten days. The way I look at it and the way the Dodgers 521 00:37:55.599 --> 00:38:04.400 are approaching the July thirtieth trade deadline. You can't count on Kershaw. That's 522 00:38:04.440 --> 00:38:08.400 an extra bonus if you get Kershaw back, and he's any semblance of the 523 00:38:08.440 --> 00:38:14.840 way he was two or three years ago. To me, you can't count 524 00:38:14.880 --> 00:38:19.679 on Kershaw. You can't count on Yamamoto. And that's why you're reading and 525 00:38:19.800 --> 00:38:25.840 hearing more buzz around the league that the Dodgers are prioritizing starting pitcher that can 526 00:38:25.920 --> 00:38:30.320 start a playoff game for them, not just a guy at the back end 527 00:38:30.320 --> 00:38:35.320 of the rotation to piecemeal it through the regular season. They're looking for a 528 00:38:35.400 --> 00:38:40.079 higher end starter, whether that's Garrett Crochet or Kevin Gossman. They're looking for 529 00:38:40.320 --> 00:38:45.039 those type of guys. Crochet obviously is the prize of the trade deadline, 530 00:38:45.079 --> 00:38:51.000 But the issue is there's not a lot of supply on the market, and 531 00:38:51.159 --> 00:38:57.000 the Baltimore Orioles are looking for Garrett Crochet just as much as the Dodgers are, 532 00:38:57.320 --> 00:39:00.239 and so are the San Diego Padres, so there's competition for him, 533 00:39:00.519 --> 00:39:07.880 and the White Sox cannot miss on this trade for Garrett Crochet. They desperately 534 00:39:07.920 --> 00:39:12.679 need talent in their organization. They are going to do their due diligence and 535 00:39:12.960 --> 00:39:15.639 just take the best offer. I know, I've talked to people in the 536 00:39:15.639 --> 00:39:22.480 White Sox organization directly and they have said, send your best offers, and 537 00:39:22.559 --> 00:39:27.760 if that turns into a bidding war for your best offer, whoever steps up 538 00:39:27.920 --> 00:39:32.519 is going to get Garrett Crochet. And Garrett Crochet I know maybe you haven't 539 00:39:32.519 --> 00:39:37.440 seen him pitch, but you saw him pitch against the Dodgers lineup last week 540 00:39:37.519 --> 00:39:40.960 and he did not back down and a lot of people were impressed with his 541 00:39:42.039 --> 00:39:46.679 stuff and his moxie on the mound. So you know he's number one. 542 00:39:47.519 --> 00:39:51.840 After that, you know, you could go for Kevin Gossman. You could 543 00:39:51.880 --> 00:39:55.400 bolster your bullpen as well with Tanner Scott, who knows. Also with the 544 00:39:55.400 --> 00:40:00.239 way things are going right now in Major League Baseball, specially in the National 545 00:40:00.360 --> 00:40:07.679 League, with so many teams currently within earshot of the last wildcard spot. 546 00:40:07.000 --> 00:40:12.480 He got almost half of the National League separated by just five games of the 547 00:40:12.559 --> 00:40:16.840 last wildcard spot. Some obviously more realistic than others, but there are teams 548 00:40:16.880 --> 00:40:21.920 that are under five hundred, like the Diamondbacks, who are just three games 549 00:40:22.000 --> 00:40:25.760 back of the final wildcard spot, which is currently held by the San Diego 550 00:40:25.840 --> 00:40:31.159 Padres. My point being is, let's say the trade deadline comes and goes, 551 00:40:32.159 --> 00:40:37.760 and some of these teams fall further and further back. Will some of 552 00:40:37.840 --> 00:40:44.840 these teams copycat what the Angels did last year when they acquired all these players 553 00:40:44.880 --> 00:40:49.239 to make a run for it, trying to entice Otani or one last run 554 00:40:49.320 --> 00:40:53.960 with Otani guys like Lucas Giolito, they fall further back. I think they 555 00:40:54.000 --> 00:40:59.159 lost nine to ten after the trade deadline. Arty Moreno says, you know 556 00:40:59.239 --> 00:41:01.880 what, we're out of put these guys on waivers, so I'm not over 557 00:41:01.920 --> 00:41:07.960 the luxury tax. It feels like other teams took notice of that. And 558 00:41:07.039 --> 00:41:13.360 who knows, you may have some really good starting pitchers with multi year contracts 559 00:41:13.400 --> 00:41:17.079 for a big price tag that only a handful of teams would be willing to 560 00:41:17.199 --> 00:41:23.079 take on, including the Dodgers. So that's also a possibility. Eight six 561 00:41:23.199 --> 00:41:28.960 six ninety seven two five seventy is the phone number. Dodgers beat the Diamondbacks 562 00:41:28.960 --> 00:41:31.760 tonight, six to five. Let's go out to Portland. Aaron, thanks 563 00:41:31.800 --> 00:41:38.039 a lot for being patient. Hi, thank you for of course, nice 564 00:41:38.039 --> 00:41:42.360 to talk to you again. David, my pleasure. What'd you think about 565 00:41:42.400 --> 00:41:47.679 the game tonight. I'm gonna say I've already voted. You did you're cannandos. 566 00:41:49.159 --> 00:41:53.840 Yes, you've maxed out your votes, Hi, Aaron, Yes, 567 00:41:54.079 --> 00:41:59.559 yes, well no, but I was just gonna say that I think that 568 00:42:00.320 --> 00:42:07.119 this game is proving that, you know, even though like we we're coming 569 00:42:07.199 --> 00:42:17.119 under a different circumstances and we're just kind of digging up and to come up 570 00:42:17.159 --> 00:42:21.800 to a mountain is what it is. Hey, you gotta look at it. 571 00:42:21.880 --> 00:42:24.519 You gotta look at it like the Dodgers do erin the bottles half full, 572 00:42:24.880 --> 00:42:30.719 the bottles not having bottle is always full. Oh sounds like an Aaron. 573 00:42:30.800 --> 00:42:32.960 Keep the party going up there, Thanks a lot for the phone call. 574 00:42:34.280 --> 00:42:37.199 Hey, Tomorrow night to game over, Eric Ganye is going to be 575 00:42:37.239 --> 00:42:45.199 throwing out the ceremonial first pitch. Tomorrow is the twentieth anniversary of Ganye securing 576 00:42:45.280 --> 00:42:50.039 his eighty fourth consecutive safe It is still a Major League record, and he 577 00:42:50.159 --> 00:42:53.079 is going to be back out here at Dodger Stadium. And last night Ganie 578 00:42:53.239 --> 00:42:57.840 joined us on Dodger Talk. It means the world of me. It's really 579 00:42:57.920 --> 00:43:00.679 special just to be part of that team, part of that uh, you 580 00:43:00.719 --> 00:43:06.800 know, amazing history and people talk about the Drysdale, the Sandy Coo facts 581 00:43:06.880 --> 00:43:08.719 and you all the stories I got from Maury Wills, and it's a very 582 00:43:08.800 --> 00:43:14.639 very special organization. It's something that I was very fortunate coming from Montreal. 583 00:43:14.679 --> 00:43:16.880 There's a lot of history there with Jackie Robinson playing in Montreal. So I 584 00:43:16.960 --> 00:43:21.760 felt like being a Dodger it's something I know, something I love, something 585 00:43:21.760 --> 00:43:24.440 I'm really proud of and really honored to be part of. And you know, 586 00:43:24.559 --> 00:43:28.000 once a Dodger, are always a Dodger. Tommy said the best, 587 00:43:28.000 --> 00:43:30.880 you know, I bleed Blue. I'm a Dodger from you know, through 588 00:43:30.960 --> 00:43:32.920 and through. It's just that's what I do, That's what I am. 589 00:43:34.360 --> 00:43:37.519 It's a it's going to be very emotional. I think it's when the music 590 00:43:37.559 --> 00:43:38.840 turns on, when the fans get up, when I'm up there, it's 591 00:43:38.880 --> 00:43:42.519 still feeling the you know, the energy that the fans used to give me. 592 00:43:42.880 --> 00:43:45.280 Feel that before the game. It's going to be unbelievable. So I'm 593 00:43:45.760 --> 00:43:47.079 I'm crazy, you know, It's it's crazy to think that I've had that 594 00:43:47.119 --> 00:43:51.320 type of career coming from Montreal. But to be honor, to be honored 595 00:43:51.320 --> 00:43:54.159 of down the Stadium. It's part be part of the great history of the 596 00:43:54.199 --> 00:44:00.360 Dodgers. It's it's very special. Kudos to the Dodgers for recognizing that tomorrow 597 00:44:00.559 --> 00:44:06.800 is the twentieth anniversary of that Major League record eighty four consecutive saves and Gannie 598 00:44:07.000 --> 00:44:10.360 being asked to throw out the ceremonial first pitch, so should be fun and 599 00:44:10.480 --> 00:44:15.719 no doubt that theatrics will be in place for Guns n' roses. Welcome to 600 00:44:15.760 --> 00:44:22.559 the jungle, just like when Ganie would come through those bullpen gates in two 601 00:44:22.639 --> 00:44:25.880 thousand and three on his way to the National League Cy Young Award. And 602 00:44:27.000 --> 00:44:30.480 after all that, Gavin Stone is making a name for himself. He'll add 603 00:44:30.519 --> 00:44:35.840 to that tomorrow night. He's nine to two with an ERA of two seventy 604 00:44:35.920 --> 00:44:39.599 three. That's the lowest ERA by any Dodger starter this year. We're not 605 00:44:39.679 --> 00:44:45.199 sure who the Diamondbacks are starting, but Jordan Montgomery was supposed to start, 606 00:44:45.239 --> 00:44:51.239 and the Diamondbacks put him on the il with right knee inflammation.
