millions of Angelinos for over twenty five
years. And now your voice for Dodger

3
00:00:10.800 --> 00:00:18.480
Talking Fight Back, David Vasse.
We are live in the Bronx at Yankee

4
00:00:18.559 --> 00:00:25.199
Stadium after the Dodgers defeat the Yankees
in eleven innings two to one. Welcome

5
00:00:25.359 --> 00:00:29.399
and we are with you until nine
o'clock on Dodger Talk eight six, six,

6
00:00:29.519 --> 00:00:34.840
nine, eight seven, two five
seventy. What an atmosphere here tonight

7
00:00:34.920 --> 00:00:39.799
at Yankee Stadium, the first time
that Dodgers have been back here since twenty

8
00:00:39.920 --> 00:00:45.039
sixteen. I haven't been back here
without Andre Ethier, Matt Kemp and Yacio

9
00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:50.439
Puig. That's how long it's been
since the Dodgers returned to Yankee Stadium.

10
00:00:50.719 --> 00:00:56.759
But tonight standing room only capacity crowd
of forty eight thousand and forty eight.

11
00:00:57.159 --> 00:01:02.359
And I know you hear the hyperbole
from brock Caster saying it was playoff like

12
00:01:02.479 --> 00:01:07.959
atmosphere, no joke. You can
sense it from the time batting practice started

13
00:01:08.359 --> 00:01:15.040
until the final out tonight that this
was playoff atmosphere. There was the moment

14
00:01:15.079 --> 00:01:21.799
where Aaron Judge was facing Blake Trinan
in the ninth inning with two outs and

15
00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:27.599
two runners on full count, everybody
on their feet. Ten pitch at bat,

16
00:01:29.200 --> 00:01:33.200
judge works a walk, but everybody
was on their feet for that.

17
00:01:33.480 --> 00:01:38.560
Everybody was on their feet when trina
was able to get John Carlos Stanton to

18
00:01:38.680 --> 00:01:42.799
hit a lazy fly ball to center
field to send it into extra innings.

19
00:01:44.280 --> 00:01:51.400
This was playoff like atmosphere and it
was truly a pleasure to be able to

20
00:01:51.439 --> 00:01:56.760
witness this game tonight because it's two
of the best teams in Major League Baseball.

21
00:01:57.239 --> 00:02:00.680
The Dodgers come into Yankee Stadium,
yes not playing their best, but

22
00:02:01.439 --> 00:02:07.800
pitching really well, and tonight they
showed it again. Starting pitching Yoshi Yamamoto,

23
00:02:08.280 --> 00:02:13.479
seven scoreless innings, pitches, one
hundred throws, one hundred and six

24
00:02:13.520 --> 00:02:19.000
pitches against one of the best offenses, in fact, the best offense in

25
00:02:19.080 --> 00:02:23.639
all of baseball, albeit without Jan
Soto in the starting lineup because of a

26
00:02:23.719 --> 00:02:30.879
left forearms strain. Probably won't see
him tomorrow, maybe see him on Sunday,

27
00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:36.039
but he is a huge presence in
this lineup. He is having one

28
00:02:36.080 --> 00:02:42.159
of the best seasons of any player
in Major League Baseball this year. So

29
00:02:42.199 --> 00:02:46.199
certainly the Yankees were without one of
their best, but nonetheless a scoreless tie

30
00:02:46.280 --> 00:02:52.520
into the eleventh inning, where ta
Oscar Hernandez hit a go ahead two run

31
00:02:52.680 --> 00:02:57.439
double in the eleventh inning. I
thought there were a couple of different big

32
00:02:57.479 --> 00:03:04.360
plays in the game tonight, DJ
Lemayhew hitting into an inning ending double play

33
00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:09.560
in the seventh after Yamamoto was almost
taken out, Caleb Ferguson in the eighth

34
00:03:09.560 --> 00:03:15.599
inning, the former Dodger coming in
facing show Hey Otani, Freddie Freeman,

35
00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:23.120
and Will Smith. He's able to
throw a curveball to freeze Will Smith in

36
00:03:23.199 --> 00:03:27.879
the eighth inning to get his former
catcher looking. I thought that was a

37
00:03:27.919 --> 00:03:30.639
big inning on the Yankee side.
Bottom of the eighth I mentioned it,

38
00:03:30.719 --> 00:03:36.280
Blake Trinon has to come in ten
pitch walk to Aaron judge with the game

39
00:03:36.360 --> 00:03:39.639
on the line. And then in
the tenth inning, there were a few

40
00:03:40.080 --> 00:03:46.400
questionable well, I shouldn't say questionable, just poor execution right both teams.

41
00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:52.560
Bottom of the order for both teams
and they could not move the gifted runner

42
00:03:52.599 --> 00:03:57.599
from second base to third base with
less than two outs. Gavin Luck strikes

43
00:03:57.639 --> 00:04:00.520
out looking with the runner at second
base, leading off the tenth and he

44
00:04:00.599 --> 00:04:05.919
doesn't even think about bunting. I
thought that was ridiculous. And then Trent

45
00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:11.240
Grisham, the former padre, could
not get a bunt down, so to

46
00:04:11.400 --> 00:04:15.079
me, I thought those were the
big plays in this game. That was

47
00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:21.040
scoreless until Teoscar Hernandez broke the tie
with a go ahead two run double to

48
00:04:21.120 --> 00:04:28.480
score Otani and Freddie Freeman. Speaking
of Otani, Aaron Judge lived up to

49
00:04:28.519 --> 00:04:31.439
the billing on his side. He
was on base four times tonight. He

50
00:04:31.480 --> 00:04:35.040
had two hits, including a double, and he drove in the only Yankees

51
00:04:35.120 --> 00:04:42.240
run in the eleventh inning. Shohei
otani slump continued in his last twenty games.

52
00:04:42.360 --> 00:04:46.319
Otani is now only hitting two oh
nine after going zero for five tonight.

53
00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:51.360
Eight six six nine eight seven two
five seventy is the phone number you

54
00:04:51.480 --> 00:04:58.519
may be asking why Michael Grove and
why Johann Ramirez were the last two pitchers

55
00:04:59.040 --> 00:05:02.639
Dave Roberts u used well. He
already had used Blake Trinon in the eighth.

56
00:05:02.720 --> 00:05:08.319
He already had used Daniel Hudson in
the ninth. Evan Phillips was not

57
00:05:08.439 --> 00:05:14.720
available after a thirty pitch eighth inning
yesterday in Pittsburgh. Dave Roberts was not

58
00:05:14.920 --> 00:05:20.000
too pleased with the misplays and the
errors that cost Evan Phillips more pitches in

59
00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:26.560
that eighth inning and other relievers in
that game more pitches, and it showed

60
00:05:26.600 --> 00:05:33.519
itself tonight. Evan Phillips not available
and also Alex Vesia was not available because

61
00:05:33.560 --> 00:05:39.040
he was used in two out of
the three games against the Pirates, so

62
00:05:40.199 --> 00:05:44.720
he was not with those two key
relievers, and that's why he had to

63
00:05:44.720 --> 00:05:48.199
go to Grove and then he had
to go of all pitchers, Johann Ramirez.

64
00:05:48.800 --> 00:05:54.560
Yes, that Johann Ramirez, where
Dave Roberts had to go out stop

65
00:05:54.639 --> 00:06:00.680
the game and say some words of
encouragement to Ramirez after he hit a couple

66
00:06:00.680 --> 00:06:04.199
of batters in mop up duty in
Cincinnati during the last road trip. That's

67
00:06:04.240 --> 00:06:10.319
the first introduction we had to Johann
Ramirez. And here he was at Yankee

68
00:06:10.319 --> 00:06:16.600
Stadium facing the teeth of the lineup
for Dugo a Judge Stanton and Anthony Rizzo,

69
00:06:16.920 --> 00:06:20.680
and somehow, some way he gets
out of it with just an RBI

70
00:06:20.800 --> 00:06:27.079
single to Aaron Judge. I personally
would have considered walking Judge by the way

71
00:06:27.560 --> 00:06:30.199
in the eleventh inning. You don't
want him hitting a game tying home run

72
00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:34.519
right there. But Dave Roberts allowed
Ramirez to face him. He got away

73
00:06:34.560 --> 00:06:39.480
with just a single, and then
he was able to free Stanton, and

74
00:06:39.519 --> 00:06:44.079
then he was able to get Anthony
Rizzo to pop up to Will Smith in

75
00:06:44.160 --> 00:06:47.720
foul territory, which certainly was more
of a circus than it should have been,

76
00:06:47.839 --> 00:06:54.079
because Johann was a little excitable on
the mound right there. Eight six

77
00:06:54.240 --> 00:06:58.600
six nine, eight seven two five
seventy is the phone number. Dodgers beat

78
00:06:58.639 --> 00:07:02.079
the Yankees two to one eleven innings
tonight. Let's go out to the phones.

79
00:07:02.199 --> 00:07:06.519
Polo being patient in San Diego.
You're on Dodger Talk. Hi Polo,

80
00:07:08.680 --> 00:07:11.240
Hi David, Hey my god,
what a game? You know.

81
00:07:11.360 --> 00:07:14.319
I had to go to my next
old neighbor, you know, whom is

82
00:07:14.360 --> 00:07:18.120
a cardiologist. I had to borrow
his the fibrillator. What a game?

83
00:07:18.240 --> 00:07:21.199
Yeah, and it's only June,
Polo, But it felt like a playoff

84
00:07:21.279 --> 00:07:25.759
game, that's for sure. But
he felt like one. But I,

85
00:07:25.839 --> 00:07:27.839
you know, I was. I
was going to say the same thing,

86
00:07:27.920 --> 00:07:30.759
you know why. The only issue
that I have is why to pitch to

87
00:07:30.480 --> 00:07:33.079
Judge when you have, you know, I'd like to take my chance with

88
00:07:33.160 --> 00:07:38.800
Stanton. But anyway, it went
good and then you know it's okay,

89
00:07:38.959 --> 00:07:42.360
it's it's all good. But it's
another question about childish Tie. How is

90
00:07:42.399 --> 00:07:44.800
he doing? I mean, is
he all right? I have been here.

91
00:07:45.000 --> 00:07:48.959
He hasn't been on the radio for
for Is he okay? Uh?

92
00:07:49.000 --> 00:07:56.439
He actually uh started the season on
the I L with back issues, Pallo.

93
00:07:56.759 --> 00:08:00.160
And he still has not been able
to get over the hump. But

94
00:08:00.199 --> 00:08:05.199
we're hoping to have Charlie back at
some point this season. But number one,

95
00:08:05.319 --> 00:08:09.639
his health is the primary concern and
we want him to get better.

96
00:08:09.720 --> 00:08:15.279
But I'm sure Charlie appreciates you thinking
of him absolutely. Thank you, David.

97
00:08:15.759 --> 00:08:18.560
All right, Pallo, thanks for
the phone call. Eight sixty six

98
00:08:18.759 --> 00:08:22.560
nine eight seven two five seventy is
the phone number. Let's go out to

99
00:08:22.680 --> 00:08:28.040
Jordan into Hanga. You're on Dodger
Talk Live from the Bronx Jordan. Oh

100
00:08:28.079 --> 00:08:31.879
my goodness, can you believe it? That's fantastic. I haven't been to

101
00:08:31.960 --> 00:08:37.080
the new to the new Yankee Stadium, but I've been to old Yankee Stadium.

102
00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:39.320
I went to see Adrian Beltrie hit
a home run when he was playing

103
00:08:39.320 --> 00:08:43.000
for the Seattle Mariners, and I
was going for the Mariners because West Coast

104
00:08:43.000 --> 00:08:48.759
baby, Okay, I wanted to
say. I wanted to say, guys,

105
00:08:48.000 --> 00:08:54.919
you know, uh show hey,
I hope really talks to our big

106
00:08:56.000 --> 00:09:01.759
guns like Freddy and like movie about
how to hit in clutch situations and how

107
00:09:01.759 --> 00:09:07.360
to be a champ. But that's
not why I'm calling. I'm calling because

108
00:09:07.399 --> 00:09:11.399
I want to get props to Dave
Roberts. He's the best manager in baseball.

109
00:09:11.480 --> 00:09:15.200
He's the best human being in baseball, and you know, I just

110
00:09:15.240 --> 00:09:18.159
want to I just want to say, like, you know, his poise,

111
00:09:18.919 --> 00:09:20.919
you know, as a leader on
the bench, you know, and

112
00:09:20.960 --> 00:09:24.759
he gets a lot of Look.
Man, I'm one of those Twitter Dodger

113
00:09:24.840 --> 00:09:28.720
fans that's like always on Twitter and
I read what everybody's talking about, and

114
00:09:28.799 --> 00:09:31.320
nobody holds back on Twitter. And
they're mean to Dave. And I don't

115
00:09:31.320 --> 00:09:35.519
think he deserves it at all.
Man, means to everybody. I know,

116
00:09:35.559 --> 00:09:39.080
they're mean to everybody. But I'm
just saying I think he's one of

117
00:09:39.120 --> 00:09:43.120
the greats. And I love Dave
Roberts and I'll support him forever. And

118
00:09:43.879 --> 00:09:46.440
you know, I know, I
know you feel the same way. And

119
00:09:46.480 --> 00:09:48.559
I know you've been critical of him, but I know you feel the same

120
00:09:48.559 --> 00:09:54.200
way. Let's let's sweep the Yankees, Go Dodgers. Love y'all, all

121
00:09:54.279 --> 00:09:56.960
right, Jordan, thanks a lot
for the phone call. Look, if

122
00:09:56.000 --> 00:10:01.360
you're gonna put blame at Dave Roberts'
feet, you've got to give him credit.

123
00:10:01.440 --> 00:10:07.399
You just can't tear him down and
not give him props when it's due.

124
00:10:07.840 --> 00:10:11.000
And I think Dave Roberts did his
best job managing last season, and

125
00:10:11.080 --> 00:10:13.960
I feel like he's done a pretty
good job to start this year. For

126
00:10:15.039 --> 00:10:20.120
sure. It's not just managing nine
innings. It's managing up. It's managing

127
00:10:20.159 --> 00:10:24.080
your players, it's managing your coaches, it's managing all this attention the Dodgers

128
00:10:24.120 --> 00:10:28.799
have everywhere they go. And he's
really good at it. Yeah, there's

129
00:10:28.799 --> 00:10:33.919
some managers that are good at managing
the game and x's and o's and being

130
00:10:33.960 --> 00:10:37.759
a tactician, but not good at
everything else that the job requires. And

131
00:10:37.840 --> 00:10:43.480
Dave Roberts is really good at that. And his staff really is a great

132
00:10:43.600 --> 00:10:48.120
support for him. He has one
of the best coaching staffs in all of

133
00:10:48.200 --> 00:10:50.559
baseball. He's not doing it alone. He's got a lot of help.

134
00:10:50.679 --> 00:10:56.120
And speaking of Dave Roberts, I
want to hear what his thoughts were after

135
00:10:56.159 --> 00:11:00.759
the game tonight after Johann Ramirez,
who, as he likes to say,

136
00:11:01.240 --> 00:11:05.000
needed to be loved on and Cincinnati
was able to come through for him tonight

137
00:11:05.039 --> 00:11:13.039
at Yankee Stadium. Man, what
a game. Wow, Dodgers Yankees coming

138
00:11:13.080 --> 00:11:20.759
in here and watching Yoshiobu his best
outing as a Dodger. You can just

139
00:11:20.879 --> 00:11:24.159
see it. He felt it,
he knew we needed it, and it

140
00:11:24.200 --> 00:11:28.080
brought out the best in him.
So you know, I can't say enough

141
00:11:28.120 --> 00:11:31.919
about his effort tonight when you see
just an uptake and velocity for him as

142
00:11:31.960 --> 00:11:35.080
well as even someone like Michael Grove
later in the game. Do you think

143
00:11:35.120 --> 00:11:37.559
that's just kind of the adrenaline of
the moment or what do you kind of

144
00:11:37.679 --> 00:11:41.279
I guess allude to that. I
think it was, you know, guys

145
00:11:41.320 --> 00:11:46.799
picking each other up. I think
that obviously, you know, everyone's excited

146
00:11:46.799 --> 00:11:50.200
about this series, but you know, looking at where our pen was at

147
00:11:50.240 --> 00:11:54.000
coming into the game, I know
that Yoshi wanted to go deep and give

148
00:11:54.080 --> 00:12:00.120
us a chance to win a ball
game and kind of spare guys and you

149
00:12:00.120 --> 00:12:03.080
look at the guys in the bull
and they've been taxed recently. And for

150
00:12:03.159 --> 00:12:07.360
those guys to take the baseball,
not run from it, pick each other

151
00:12:07.480 --> 00:12:11.399
up, that was huge And it
just speaks to the camaraderie that they have

152
00:12:11.519 --> 00:12:16.679
for one another and we need every
bit of it. And so you know,

153
00:12:16.759 --> 00:12:22.919
those guys picked us up big time
and fortunately took eleven innings, but

154
00:12:22.360 --> 00:12:26.639
we got a big hit and Tao
came through tonight. We've seen this format

155
00:12:26.840 --> 00:12:33.399
extra innings for a few years now. Is it frustrating or disappointing to watch

156
00:12:33.480 --> 00:12:37.759
the tenth inning and see you don't
even advance the guy from second? Yeah,

157
00:12:39.080 --> 00:12:41.159
it is, and I think Aaron
feels the same way. So you

158
00:12:41.200 --> 00:12:46.120
know, those guys that are on
the mound are still trying to prevent that

159
00:12:46.159 --> 00:12:50.080
guy from advancing. So you know, I wish it was as easy as

160
00:12:50.159 --> 00:12:54.519
just get the guy over, but
clearly you see it every night and baseball

161
00:12:54.600 --> 00:12:58.960
that it's just not a given that
they can advance them. So you know,

162
00:12:58.000 --> 00:13:01.360
the pitching's tough. I'm not making
excuse for it. We still got

163
00:13:01.399 --> 00:13:05.720
to get guys over, but it's
certainly not easy. How much have you

164
00:13:05.799 --> 00:13:09.320
enjoyed seeing what Johann's done since that
that Dane Cincinnatian been coming in that spot

165
00:13:09.360 --> 00:13:16.360
tonight. I've just watched his growth
like in real time. It's you see

166
00:13:16.360 --> 00:13:22.759
the confidence, You certainly see the
joy, and I'm happy for him.

167
00:13:22.240 --> 00:13:28.159
He's gotten some big outs for us
and he's helped us out a lot.

168
00:13:28.200 --> 00:13:31.240
So I'm happy that he's in a
good spot, you know, physically and

169
00:13:31.320 --> 00:13:35.279
most importantly mental. All Right,
there's Dave Roberts after tonight's two to one

170
00:13:35.320 --> 00:13:41.279
win in eleven innings. Thanks to

175
00:14:00.200 --> 00:14:03.039
for him. So a lot to
get to between now and nine o'clock after

on Hernandez. Hernandez hits one hard left

00:14:31.600 --> 00:14:35.799
field that will get down, then
split the gap all the way to the

181
00:14:35.840 --> 00:14:43.039
wall. Here comes Otani, Freeman
follows Ti Oscar, Hernandez has the doctors

182
00:14:43.080 --> 00:14:50.320
in front ta Oscar. Hernandez breaks
a scoreless tie in the top of the

183
00:14:50.360 --> 00:14:54.039
eleventh thinning to score Otani and Freeman. That would be the difference in the

184
00:14:54.080 --> 00:15:00.320

193
00:15:39.159 --> 00:15:43.879
that the Dodgers tonight, with the
win, win their fortieth game of the

194
00:15:43.000 --> 00:15:48.879
season. They haven't an They have
an eight and a half game lead over

195
00:15:48.960 --> 00:15:54.840
the Padres in the NL West,
and with the Yankees losing tonight the Orioles

196
00:15:54.919 --> 00:16:00.399
winning, the Yankees lead in the
AL East is down to two in the

197
00:16:00.519 --> 00:16:04.639
lost column. Eight six six seven
two five seventy is the phone number.

198
00:16:04.840 --> 00:16:08.639
Let's go out to Joe in Long
Beach. You're on Dodger Talk. Where

199
00:16:08.639 --> 00:16:11.799
are you at, Joe? You
at phil Trainees? Are you at Nico's?

200
00:16:11.840 --> 00:16:15.799
Where are you at, Joe?
I'm actually a lift driver and I

201
00:16:15.840 --> 00:16:26.360
have passengers in here. Oh they
must be Dodger fans. Hey, Dave,

202
00:16:26.480 --> 00:16:30.679
listen first the lift driver calling in
and it being a group phone call,

203
00:16:30.799 --> 00:16:33.759
So I hope, I hope those
ladies in the backseat tip you,

204
00:16:33.879 --> 00:16:44.879
Joe. With the Dodgers winning,
just the chap, Hey, Dave,

205
00:16:45.000 --> 00:16:48.200
listen, I was calling you because, uh, what's the chances of us

206
00:16:48.519 --> 00:16:55.200
going after uh Baschett putting the mookie
back at second and maybe and maybe letting

207
00:16:55.240 --> 00:17:00.799
a lux go I think he's already
played past his time. Yeah, well

208
00:17:00.879 --> 00:17:04.720
number one Joe. The Blue Jays
GM Ross Atkins came out a couple of

209
00:17:04.759 --> 00:17:10.839
days ago and said he is not
going to tray Bobashett or Vladimir Junior.

210
00:17:11.480 --> 00:17:17.039
But sometimes they say that publicly and
things change. What won't change is a

211
00:17:17.079 --> 00:17:19.240
lot of pressure on the Blue Jays
to win up there, and if they

212
00:17:19.240 --> 00:17:22.839
start tearing it down again, it's
not going to go over well with those

213
00:17:22.880 --> 00:17:27.519
Canadians. So Bobashett I wouldn't rule
it out, but I would at this

214
00:17:27.759 --> 00:17:33.839
point say the chances are less than
fifty to fifty. I feel like you

215
00:17:33.880 --> 00:17:37.160
can't just look at a shortstop.
You got to look at a second basement

216
00:17:37.240 --> 00:17:41.039
if you can't find one, because
there's not too many available. And honestly,

217
00:17:41.119 --> 00:17:44.839
Joe, I feel like Mookie Betts. I know, every time he

218
00:17:44.920 --> 00:17:48.240
makes a mistake, people think the
sky is falling. But for a guy

219
00:17:48.279 --> 00:17:52.440
that hasn't played this position ever since
high school, basically, I'm going to

220
00:17:52.480 --> 00:17:56.880
say, ever, he's done a
pretty good job. Hey, one more

221
00:17:57.000 --> 00:18:03.160
thing, Dave, what's the He
plays sometimes like a little leaguer. I

222
00:18:03.160 --> 00:18:06.839
mean when the balls hit to the
third base side, why are you going.

223
00:18:07.359 --> 00:18:11.720
Yeah, that was a bad running
play there, Joe. The you

224
00:18:11.720 --> 00:18:15.839
know, you're you're very wise knowing
that the ball was hit in front of

225
00:18:15.880 --> 00:18:18.480
you. You got to stay home
at second base in the tenth inning.

226
00:18:18.559 --> 00:18:22.680
That was not five beta Kapa.
Joe, you're right. Luckily it did

227
00:18:22.759 --> 00:18:26.799
not cost the game, but it
could have. So. Yeah, that

228
00:18:26.000 --> 00:18:30.880
that's a great job by you to
point it out. All right, Dave,

229
00:18:30.920 --> 00:18:33.119
have a good night. Hey,
wait a minute, where are you

230
00:18:33.160 --> 00:18:36.359
going. Aren't you gonna tell us
the names of your customers in the back

231
00:18:36.400 --> 00:18:42.680
seat. Yeah, so it's Jessica, Christy, Rudy and Hull Colleen,

232
00:18:44.160 --> 00:18:51.079
and we're going to alter society brewing. So long, all right, see

233
00:18:51.079 --> 00:18:56.720
you when the Dodgers get back from
this road trip. Yeah, thank you.

234
00:18:56.759 --> 00:19:00.240
All right, have fun, be
safe there they go, Joe and

235
00:19:00.279 --> 00:19:03.079
the crew in the lift car.
Eight sixty six nine eighty seven two five

236
00:19:03.200 --> 00:19:07.839
seventy is the phone number. Okay, David, refocus, focus, Let's

237
00:19:08.039 --> 00:19:11.839
move on from that. Mookie Bets
we were talking about him at shortstop.

238
00:19:11.960 --> 00:19:17.799
Really appreciate Mookie stopping for us before
the game to join us on the pregame

239
00:19:17.880 --> 00:19:22.119
show. There was a playoff like
Atmosphere in the stands playoff like Atmosphere.

240
00:19:22.240 --> 00:19:29.599
Media coverage wise and MOOKI talked to
us about Shortstop and just how he's taking

241
00:19:29.640 --> 00:19:33.880
it in at this point in time
in the season a week into June.

242
00:19:33.240 --> 00:19:37.400
Yeah, I'm definitely. I'm super
proud of myself for, first of all,

243
00:19:37.480 --> 00:19:40.440
just taking on a challenge because a
lot of people, you know,

244
00:19:40.440 --> 00:19:42.960
they may not and you know that
a lot of failure is gonna come with

245
00:19:44.039 --> 00:19:47.440
it. And I knew that going
in. You know, there's really only

246
00:19:47.480 --> 00:19:51.400
negatives that can come out of it. Only positive is doing this for the

247
00:19:51.400 --> 00:19:53.039
team, you know, And but
you know nobody wants to. I knew

248
00:19:53.039 --> 00:19:56.480
people wouldn't want me to play short
and think I can't do it, and

249
00:19:56.519 --> 00:19:57.759
this, that and the other,
and I still accepted it. And so

250
00:19:59.160 --> 00:20:02.680
I'm very out of myself for how
far I've come, and I know I

251
00:20:02.759 --> 00:20:06.680
have a long long way to go, you know, I obviously you know

252
00:20:06.720 --> 00:20:11.519
I hate making errors and whatnot,
But I mean there's no there was no

253
00:20:11.599 --> 00:20:14.759
time to learn. There's there's no
lag time. I mean as soon as

254
00:20:14.759 --> 00:20:17.079
I took on the challenge, I
mean, hell, it was game one,

255
00:20:17.240 --> 00:20:18.440
you know, there was no spring
I didn't get into the spring training,

256
00:20:18.480 --> 00:20:21.680
I didn't get an off season.
I didn't get any of that.

257
00:20:21.960 --> 00:20:25.920
So I understood it, and I
know that's not an excuse. It's just

258
00:20:25.960 --> 00:20:29.039
a I'm kind of learning on the
job, and you got to take your

259
00:20:29.039 --> 00:20:33.160
bumps and bruises, and it's hard
to take them, but there's no other

260
00:20:33.240 --> 00:20:37.680
choice, all right. That's part
of our conversation with Mookie Betts, and

261
00:20:37.720 --> 00:20:42.160
I thought he was as candid as
he has ever been when it comes to

262
00:20:42.359 --> 00:20:48.079
the questions about him playing shortstop,
how he's keeping his body fresh to be

263
00:20:48.200 --> 00:20:52.119
able to withstand the demands of that
position, and to hear that full conversation.

264
00:20:52.319 --> 00:20:57.200
You can find it on the iHeartRadio
app. Dodgers beat the Yankees tonight

265
00:20:57.240 --> 00:21:02.880
two to one in eleven innings,
and Joky Betts played flawless shortstop. See

266
00:21:02.880 --> 00:21:07.480
on nights like tonight, nobody calls
in about MOOKI wearing down or Mookie can't

267
00:21:07.480 --> 00:21:11.440
play that position. On nights like
tonight, when he makes all the plays

268
00:21:11.480 --> 00:21:17.000
and above average plays, none of
you call in to point that out.

269
00:21:17.039 --> 00:21:21.240
But that's why I'm here eight six
six nine, eight seven two five seventy

270
00:21:21.599 --> 00:21:27.119
Tito in Fullerton you're on Dodger Talk
with David vasse Hi. Tito Yo,

271
00:21:27.279 --> 00:21:30.000
what up, David? How's it
going? Man? Just leaving in and

272
00:21:30.039 --> 00:21:36.640
out? Pump happy Friday night.
Oh that's a good way to cap off

273
00:21:36.680 --> 00:21:41.920
a Dodger win against the Yankees.
Oh yeah, especially in those extra innies.

274
00:21:41.960 --> 00:21:47.079
Man, talk about a clutch Kiosko, Kioskar Hernandez hit. Wow Man,

275
00:21:47.119 --> 00:21:52.240
that double pumped pump Man. It
feels like October in June, it

276
00:21:52.319 --> 00:21:57.519
does. Taoscar Hernandez with forty one
RBIs to lead the Dodgers. That's won

277
00:21:57.599 --> 00:22:03.319
more than show heyo time. And
I mentioned this when we were in Pittsburgh.

278
00:22:03.599 --> 00:22:07.599
If you look at the National League
all outfielders, there's not too many

279
00:22:08.039 --> 00:22:14.519
superstar outfielders anymore in the National League. Mookie Betts has moved into the infield,

280
00:22:14.759 --> 00:22:18.559
Bryce Harper has moved to first base. I hate to say this,

281
00:22:18.680 --> 00:22:26.559
but Taoscar Hernandez and mystery relevant Jerkson
Profar are the two most productive outfielders in

282
00:22:26.599 --> 00:22:29.640
the National League. I don't hate
to say it about ti Oscar, but

283
00:22:30.640 --> 00:22:34.160
it pains me to say that about
Jerkson Profar. Let's go out to Hollywood,

284
00:22:34.359 --> 00:22:38.920
Eric, who was a man not
as positive as he usually is when

285
00:22:38.920 --> 00:22:48.440
we were in Pittsburgh. I'm sure
you're feeling a lot better tonight. Eric.

286
00:22:49.079 --> 00:22:55.759
Oh doctor, Oh, there we
go, Yep, there we go.

287
00:23:00.519 --> 00:23:06.799
Love be the Yankee? I absolutely
love be the Yankee. You know

288
00:23:06.880 --> 00:23:11.400
what, there's a couple of things
I don't like about the Yankee, but

289
00:23:11.640 --> 00:23:18.000
I'm not gonna say anything. I
love what we did today, absolutely of

290
00:23:18.079 --> 00:23:22.960
aging. Let's see it going then, I oh, Man, Dave,

291
00:23:23.440 --> 00:23:27.279
Sorry, man, sure, man, you are a roller coaster. Eric.

292
00:23:27.400 --> 00:23:32.640
You are about to cry when the
Dodgers lost in Pittsburgh, and here

293
00:23:32.680 --> 00:23:37.759
you are acting like the Dodgers won
the World Series in June. It's not

294
00:23:37.880 --> 00:23:41.519
June the third, Eric, Dave, come on, Dave, come on.

295
00:23:41.599 --> 00:23:45.400
You know you were you were down. You were as down as I've

296
00:23:45.519 --> 00:23:51.279
ever heard you in Pittsburgh. That's
why you cannot get on the roller coaster.

297
00:23:51.839 --> 00:23:56.200
Eric. Whenever you feel emotional,
just look at the standings. The

298
00:23:56.319 --> 00:24:02.480
Dodgers have a nine game lead on
the Padres in the lost column. Are

299
00:24:02.599 --> 00:24:07.119
things really that bad? Uh?
You're right, You're right, You're right,

300
00:24:07.599 --> 00:24:14.319
we're balling. Are we really going
to overreact to a game in Pittsburgh?

301
00:24:14.440 --> 00:24:18.079
The Pirates have beaten up on the
Dodgers since twenty twenty one, and

302
00:24:18.160 --> 00:24:22.599
the Dodgers have won one hundred games
each of the last four full season.

303
00:24:22.720 --> 00:24:26.440
So are we really going to overreact
to games in Pittsburgh? I mean,

304
00:24:26.480 --> 00:24:30.759
tonight was special. I'm not gonna
pretend like it wasn't. It was a

305
00:24:30.799 --> 00:24:36.519
special atmosphere out here, and I
understand your excitement. But on the flip

306
00:24:36.599 --> 00:24:40.720
side, the other night, Eric
Man, I was disappointed in the emotional

307
00:24:40.799 --> 00:24:48.519
rollercoaster bro Bro day. You gotta
understand, I Bleeve blue, but we

308
00:24:48.640 --> 00:24:52.960
gotta be teamed like that. That's
all that you know? Well, tonight

309
00:24:52.000 --> 00:24:56.440
they want an extra inning game.
The knock on the Dodgers is they don't

310
00:24:56.440 --> 00:25:02.200
win close games and they don't win
extra Well, I have news for you.

311
00:25:02.480 --> 00:25:06.359
The Dodgers are five and three in
extra innings and they won a one

312
00:25:06.440 --> 00:25:11.799
run game at Yankee Stadium without their
best reliever available, without their closer available,

313
00:25:12.039 --> 00:25:18.079
and without their best left handed reliever
available. You're right, all good,

314
00:25:18.200 --> 00:25:22.440
Eric, You know I love you. Call back eight six six nine

315
00:25:22.480 --> 00:25:27.000
eighty seven two five seventy. Perspective
people eight six six nine eighty seven two

316
00:25:27.160 --> 00:25:32.160
five seventy. Let's go out to
Diamond Bar. Chris, You're on Dodger

317
00:25:32.240 --> 00:25:34.960
Talk Live from the Bronx. How
you doing, Chris, I'm doing great

318
00:25:36.039 --> 00:25:38.039
day, especially with victory against the
Yankees. How you doing, sir?

319
00:25:38.839 --> 00:25:42.440
Hey? I want this game.
I want Game two to start in forty

320
00:25:42.480 --> 00:25:48.359
five minutes. I'm riding high right
now, Chris. I'm right there with

321
00:25:48.440 --> 00:25:51.160
you. I got my Brooklyn hat
and I got my Dodger jersey. I

322
00:25:51.400 --> 00:25:53.920
can start that game with you.
Day. But the rap beginning of up,

323
00:25:55.039 --> 00:25:59.359
hold on, hold on before since
you brought up Brooklyn, this is

324
00:25:59.400 --> 00:26:06.079
the first time the Dodgers have won
a game against the Yankees, won nothing

325
00:26:06.160 --> 00:26:11.480
in extra innings since Game six of
the nineteen fifty six World Series when they

326
00:26:11.519 --> 00:26:15.680
were the Brooklyn Dodgers. Chris,
Well, then you know what fate tells

327
00:26:15.720 --> 00:26:18.279
you that we're due to win a
World Series this year, my friends.

328
00:26:19.400 --> 00:26:22.839
But the reason I was giving you
is call is I wanted your take on

329
00:26:22.880 --> 00:26:25.559
this. A lot of people jump
on the Dodgers when we lose a couple

330
00:26:25.559 --> 00:26:27.119
of games. Then we win a
couple and they come back and they say,

331
00:26:27.119 --> 00:26:30.599
oh, we're the greatest team in
the world. But in reality,

332
00:26:30.599 --> 00:26:33.000
we play one hundred and sixty two
games today, and we're not gonna win

333
00:26:33.000 --> 00:26:37.079
every single game. We're gonna have
those moments where we slumped. We're gonna

334
00:26:37.119 --> 00:26:38.279
have those moments where we just got
to have faith. In the end of

335
00:26:38.279 --> 00:26:41.880
the day, the Dodgers are built
to win the marathon, not the sprint.

336
00:26:42.480 --> 00:26:45.920
But I wanted your take on today
because I kind of thought today was

337
00:26:45.960 --> 00:26:49.119
going to be like this where it's
an all star team on both sides.

338
00:26:49.359 --> 00:26:52.400
This was probably the best game of
the year for all of baseball to see

339
00:26:52.400 --> 00:26:56.279
the two best teams, and I
wanted your take this. Did you think

340
00:26:56.279 --> 00:26:59.519
it was going to be a select
or expecting a pitching duel, because you

341
00:26:59.559 --> 00:27:02.880
know what, I love how baseball
turned out today, Extra ennings the two

342
00:27:02.960 --> 00:27:07.240
greatest games to ever play the game, and the greatest team won. I

343
00:27:07.319 --> 00:27:11.359
actually thought tonight we would see more
scoring. You know, it was all

344
00:27:11.440 --> 00:27:17.279
contingent on Yama Moto and how sharp
he was without Juan Soto in the lineup.

345
00:27:17.319 --> 00:27:21.559
I thought that was a big edge
for Yama Moto because we know how

346
00:27:21.599 --> 00:27:26.559
good Soto is at not swinging at
pitches outside of the strike zone and just

347
00:27:26.880 --> 00:27:30.359
what he means to judge and Verdugo
and Stanton, so I thought with that

348
00:27:30.519 --> 00:27:34.680
it favored the Dodgers. I thought
the Dodgers were going to score against this

349
00:27:34.759 --> 00:27:38.400
guy, Cody Potit, but they
did not. I thought they were going

350
00:27:38.480 --> 00:27:41.480
to hit this guy tonight, but
they did not, So that was a

351
00:27:41.480 --> 00:27:47.039
little surprising. And I think tomorrow
the Dodgers should hit Nester Cortes. And

352
00:27:47.119 --> 00:27:49.799
I think Gavin Stone is going to
shut down the Yankees. So I feel

353
00:27:49.839 --> 00:27:56.319
like the first two games coming into
this series favored the Dodgers. I completely

354
00:27:56.400 --> 00:28:00.200
agree with you, and I know
it. I think the Dodgers said up

355
00:28:00.240 --> 00:28:03.160
this year. Everybody talks about how
we can't play on the big stage.

356
00:28:03.359 --> 00:28:04.880
Guess what, it doesn't get any
bigger than being in La or in New

357
00:28:04.960 --> 00:28:08.200
York. And I honestly think our
boys are coming to town to show the

358
00:28:08.240 --> 00:28:11.279
world that this is just the beginning. We beat the Braves when we needed

359
00:28:11.279 --> 00:28:14.920
to, and we're gonna beat the
Yankees when it counts the most. So

360
00:28:15.000 --> 00:28:17.519
I look forward to hear from you
and thank you for what you do.

361
00:28:18.160 --> 00:28:23.359
All right, thank you. Look
the Dodgers, they are playing big games

362
00:28:23.839 --> 00:28:27.240
virtually every night. And I've said
this before and I'll say it again.

363
00:28:27.880 --> 00:28:33.440
Not so much just games. When
the Dodgers arrive in a city, or

364
00:28:33.640 --> 00:28:38.119
the Dodgers take the field at Dodgers
Stadium, it's not just a game.

365
00:28:38.359 --> 00:28:42.559
It's an event. And since we're
here in the Bronx, this is where

366
00:28:44.119 --> 00:28:49.599
Jeter Posada, Paul O'Neill, David
Kohne, all those guys performed and won

367
00:28:49.680 --> 00:28:55.480
what four championships Jeter won five in
his career. It was an event.

368
00:28:56.039 --> 00:29:00.839
Charlie Steiner, my guy, he
was calling Yankee games to'rein that run,

369
00:29:00.079 --> 00:29:04.559
he said the same thing. It
was an event wherever the Yankees went.

370
00:29:06.240 --> 00:29:08.599
And that's how it feels with the
Dodgers. It's not just a game,

371
00:29:08.680 --> 00:29:12.039
it's an event. So when you
talk about the big stage at Yankee

372
00:29:12.119 --> 00:29:15.960
Stadium, I got news for you. The Dodgers are on a big stage

373
00:29:17.400 --> 00:29:22.559
eighty one times at Dodgers Stadium this
year. This is a big stage on

374
00:29:22.599 --> 00:29:26.359
the East Coast. Yes, but
they were on a big stage in New

375
00:29:26.480 --> 00:29:30.359
York last week against the Mets.
But this is special to be at Yankee

376
00:29:30.400 --> 00:29:37.039
Stadium. I mean with forty eight
thousand and forty eight standing room only Dodgers

377
00:29:37.119 --> 00:29:41.960
Yankees, we all know how much
it means to the game of Baseball.

378
00:29:41.039 --> 00:29:47.759
To have these two great franchises face
off against each other when they're both this

379
00:29:48.000 --> 00:29:52.359
good, it means a little something
extra. And I'm not going to downplay

380
00:29:52.400 --> 00:29:56.359
that I got caught up in it. I really enjoyed the atmosphere. It's

381
00:29:56.400 --> 00:30:02.519
a regular season game out of one
hundred and sixty two, but these type

382
00:30:02.559 --> 00:30:07.799
of games kind of get the adrenaline
up compared to games in Pittsburgh. I

383
00:30:07.880 --> 00:30:11.119
was in a dark place in Pittsburgh, not just because the Dodgers lost two

384
00:30:11.119 --> 00:30:15.319
out of three, but man,
the people in Pittsburgh they're tough mentally and

385
00:30:15.359 --> 00:30:19.079
physically for a reason. Let's go
out to Maywood, Robert, you're on

386
00:30:19.200 --> 00:30:25.599
Dodger Talk. How you doing,
Robert? After going day. I just

387
00:30:25.599 --> 00:30:27.599
want to say, if your graduation
to the Dodgers on this first game of

388
00:30:30.359 --> 00:30:33.359
first game of three games, I'll
let them know. I'll send Robert and

389
00:30:33.400 --> 00:30:38.680
Maywood's congratulations a bit. I have
a few buddies over there in New York.

390
00:30:40.039 --> 00:30:44.440
Can you make it how to come
to a graduation today to congraduate Brianna

391
00:30:45.160 --> 00:30:49.319
for her graduation from Bell High School. Okay, sounds good? Robert and

392
00:30:49.400 --> 00:30:55.079
he went talking about the game.
I was gonna talk about today about the

393
00:30:55.079 --> 00:30:57.640
short stop decision. I like Mookie
just said that he's trying his bed.

394
00:30:59.240 --> 00:31:03.480
He didn't gain you spring training games
or anything to get him prepared. But

395
00:31:03.559 --> 00:31:08.200
he do his job as he can. But then again, everybody wants to,

396
00:31:08.839 --> 00:31:11.400
you know, not give him too
much props, but we have to

397
00:31:11.440 --> 00:31:15.960
give him whatever props we have to
give him for the whole year, because

398
00:31:15.519 --> 00:31:21.079
I mean, that's what they're dealing
with. And I would say, Robert,

399
00:31:21.119 --> 00:31:25.319
you would agree with me that Mookie
Bets is playing better shortstop than at

400
00:31:25.400 --> 00:31:30.920
least half of the other shortstops in
baseball exactly. I pretty much he might

401
00:31:30.960 --> 00:31:34.480
even be the starting shortstop for the
National League this year in the All Star

402
00:31:34.559 --> 00:31:38.880
Game. How wild would that be? How many players could say that?

403
00:31:38.880 --> 00:31:45.240
That would be really wild? But
I respect Rojas and I like his work

404
00:31:45.279 --> 00:31:48.160
tick pick, and hopefully he can
stay with the team and help out the

405
00:31:48.200 --> 00:31:53.000
Dodgers out for the playoff run or
whatever however we getting. He's not going

406
00:31:53.039 --> 00:31:56.480
anywhere, Robert, He's not going
anywhere. He's a valuable piece of it,

407
00:31:56.519 --> 00:32:00.799
but the reality is he cannot play
every day. Thank you for the

408
00:32:00.839 --> 00:32:06.920
phone call, appreciate it. Tomorrow's
starter. Gavin Stone joined us on the

409
00:32:06.960 --> 00:32:09.559
pregame show, and I just want
to give you a peek into this young

410
00:32:09.640 --> 00:32:15.160
man and just how cool he is
and his demeanor and how much of a

411
00:32:15.200 --> 00:32:20.440
baseball rack he is. When you
have multiple pitches that do different shapes,

412
00:32:20.480 --> 00:32:24.400
it's fun to play around with different
parts of the zone. Like a couple

413
00:32:24.480 --> 00:32:30.440
weeks ago, me and Walker and
Connor and all like Mark was talking about,

414
00:32:30.440 --> 00:32:31.960
you know, front hip two seamers
to lefties and stuff like that,

415
00:32:32.000 --> 00:32:35.880
and so trying that out in the
ball game, and then you know,

416
00:32:35.960 --> 00:32:38.160
backdoor cutters and stuff like that.
It's always fun to just mix it up,

417
00:32:38.200 --> 00:32:42.400
mix around the zone and stuff like
that and see whatever, see what

418
00:32:42.440 --> 00:32:45.559
holes I can find. To be
honest, Gavin Stone is one of those

419
00:32:45.599 --> 00:32:51.920
guys that is not getting caught up
in his success, nor will he ever.

420
00:32:52.680 --> 00:32:57.039
He is just concerned about tomorrow.
And I believe we were talking about

421
00:32:57.039 --> 00:33:00.480
this in the clubhouse earlier today.
This will be his fourth or fifth pitch

422
00:33:00.559 --> 00:33:07.839
game that will be televised nationally.
Tomorrow's another nationally televised game and Gavin Stone

423
00:33:07.160 --> 00:33:10.920
will be on the mound for the
Dodgers at Yankee Stadium. He's six and

424
00:33:10.960 --> 00:33:15.759
two with an ERA of two ninety, going up against left hander Nester Cortes,

425
00:33:16.079 --> 00:33:20.400
who is three and four with an
ERA of three forty six for the

426
00:33:20.519 --> 00:33:25.400
Yankees Morongo Casino. Dodgers on Deck
begins at three point thirty with first pitch

427
00:33:25.559 --> 00:33:31.480
from the Bronx at four forty with
Rick Monday and Steven Nelson. That'll do

428
00:33:31.559 --> 00:33:36.640
it for us tonight on Dodger Talk
