Like back, tim Cakes. Dodgers get the win over the Colorado 4 00:00:17.920 --> 00:00:23.600 Rockies, a four to nothing shutouts over Colorado, as they improved a thirty 5 00:00:23.679 --> 00:00:28.000 eight and twenty three on this season. Hi, everybody, and welcome to 6 00:00:28.039 --> 00:00:34.079 postgame Dodger Talk here live from Dodger Stadium on an absolutely glorious Sunday afternoon. 7 00:00:34.479 --> 00:00:38.719 Our phone number eight sixty six nine eight seven two five seventy eight sixty six 8 00:00:39.240 --> 00:00:43.159 nine eight seven two five seventy I want to hear from you Dodger fans after 9 00:00:43.200 --> 00:00:47.479 the Dodgers take two to three from the Rockies this weekend and now have a 10 00:00:47.560 --> 00:00:52.280 six and a half game lead in the Division over the San Diego Padres, 11 00:00:52.320 --> 00:00:55.159 who lost earlier. Today, the Giants loss, so they're now eight and 12 00:00:55.200 --> 00:00:59.840 a half up on San Francisco. A Dodgers team that had travel issues coming 13 00:00:59.840 --> 00:01:03.840 back home, was kind of sleepy on Friday night in the loss in the 14 00:01:03.880 --> 00:01:07.159 series opener to the Colorado Rockies. They come back and win last night and 15 00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:11.799 today they come back and behind Gavin Stone and the Dodgers bullpen, who combined 16 00:01:11.879 --> 00:01:15.480 for a shutout win, the Dodgers take two to three. They've now won 17 00:01:15.560 --> 00:01:22.519 five of six and the Dodgers again will head back east now for a six 18 00:01:22.640 --> 00:01:26.920 game road trip in Pittsburgh and New York. Eight six six nine eighty seven 19 00:01:26.959 --> 00:01:32.159 two five seventy eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy What can't you 20 00:01:32.280 --> 00:01:36.319 say about Gavin Stone and the job that he has done so far this season? 21 00:01:36.680 --> 00:01:40.760 Gavin Stone has met so much to this Dodgers team, and quite frankly, 22 00:01:40.799 --> 00:01:46.319 Gavin Stone made the rotation because of injuries to Clayton Kershaw and the back 23 00:01:46.400 --> 00:01:49.680 end of the rotation. Gavin Stone was the fifth starter for this Dodgers team 24 00:01:49.959 --> 00:01:56.879 and through eleven starts now twelve starts now after today, he's been absolutely fantastic 25 00:01:57.239 --> 00:02:01.920 and he's given the Dodgers lengthy efforts. Whether it's six innings against the Braves, 26 00:02:02.280 --> 00:02:07.519 seven innings one run against the Miami Marlins, six innings one run against 27 00:02:07.519 --> 00:02:12.199 the Giants in San Francisco, six plus innings against the Diamondbacks, seven shutout 28 00:02:12.240 --> 00:02:16.240 innings against the New York Mets, and today five more shutout innings in a 29 00:02:16.280 --> 00:02:22.000 win against the Colorado Rockies. Gavin Stone has been impressive. Gavin Stone now 30 00:02:22.080 --> 00:02:27.240 lowers his ERA to two ninety on this season, and he wasn't alone. 31 00:02:27.439 --> 00:02:31.240 Got great pitching behind him from Michael Grove, who continues to be impressive as 32 00:02:31.280 --> 00:02:38.840 a long reliever and a short reliever. Michael Grove was a starter who transformed 33 00:02:38.919 --> 00:02:44.680 himself into a middle reliever bulk innings guy for the Dodgers last season, and 34 00:02:44.719 --> 00:02:47.960 his role has even morphed yet again this year in twenty twenty four, where 35 00:02:49.000 --> 00:02:53.120 he's able to pitch in multiple days as a traditional reliever, can one inning 36 00:02:53.159 --> 00:02:57.639 one day, inning the next day, more like a guy you've seen in 37 00:02:57.639 --> 00:03:00.400 an Alex Vesia, a Blake Trining type role. A traditional reliever, they 38 00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:04.879 can go two of three games in this series, not just give you four 39 00:03:05.159 --> 00:03:07.400 and has to sit out a few days. No, he has turned into 40 00:03:07.560 --> 00:03:13.400 a really bona fide reliever for this Dodgers' bullpen, and he morphed into that 41 00:03:13.479 --> 00:03:16.719 role I think based on necessity because of the injuries to the high leverage relievers 42 00:03:16.759 --> 00:03:21.400 for this Dodgers bullpen, and some of them are trickled back in Blake trying 43 00:03:21.439 --> 00:03:24.599 in Evan Phillips, Daniel Hudson. But you know there's still a list of 44 00:03:24.680 --> 00:03:30.000 Dodger relievers Joe Kelly, Bruce, dar Garaderal that they're missing, and Michael 45 00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:32.680 Grove has stepped into those roles. So a tip of the cap to the 46 00:03:32.759 --> 00:03:38.960 young guys, Michael Grove. Gavin Stone reinventing himself. Gavin Stone after a 47 00:03:38.080 --> 00:03:42.439 rough outing when he made his major league debut last year. I mean, 48 00:03:42.479 --> 00:03:45.360 he was highly touted, but he's also a young man who was drafted in 49 00:03:45.439 --> 00:03:50.759 twenty shortened season, shortened, no minor leagues at all. In twenty one, 50 00:03:50.879 --> 00:03:54.039 skyrockets up to two different levels, twenty two, does the same thing. 51 00:03:54.319 --> 00:03:58.719 Twenty three. He comes in and helps out this Dodgers team because of 52 00:03:58.800 --> 00:04:02.120 injuries, but rough rocky beginning as a starter, and then went back to 53 00:04:02.159 --> 00:04:06.919 Triple A. Reinvented himself, figured out which pitches are working, and came 54 00:04:06.960 --> 00:04:12.199 back to the major leaves after the trade deadline last year and pitched well for 55 00:04:12.280 --> 00:04:15.040 the Dodgers in September and came out of the shoot here in twenty twenty four, 56 00:04:15.279 --> 00:04:19.439 and he's off to a six and two start now in twelve starts and 57 00:04:19.519 --> 00:04:24.560 lowering his ERA to two ninety on this season. So I can't say enough 58 00:04:24.560 --> 00:04:28.639 about what Gavin Stone and Michael Grove did today for this Dodgers' bullpen. Mookie 59 00:04:28.639 --> 00:04:31.279 bets Freddie Freeman. You know, when Dodgers get production like they did from 60 00:04:31.319 --> 00:04:34.839 the top of the lineup, Mookie bets Freddie Freeman in particular, good things 61 00:04:34.920 --> 00:04:39.399 usually happen. And today they hit home runs in the first inning, and 62 00:04:39.439 --> 00:04:42.480 before you can even sit down, it's a two to nothing Dodgers lead, 63 00:04:42.800 --> 00:04:46.600 and Gavin Stone's dealing on the mound for the Dodgers, and he sprinkling a 64 00:04:46.680 --> 00:04:49.439 running the third on a Miguel Rojas RBI single and Freddie Freeman a sack fly 65 00:04:49.480 --> 00:04:53.160 in the eighth, and that's all the Dodgers would need today. But I 66 00:04:53.279 --> 00:04:57.040 keep this in mind. This Dodgers team won four to nothing, and look 67 00:04:57.079 --> 00:05:00.720 what they did with the runners in scoring position. They were one for eleven, 68 00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:05.199 runners on left on base twelve. They could have busted this game open. 69 00:05:05.399 --> 00:05:10.000 It could have been a lopsided avalanche of a win against the Rockies. 70 00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:13.759 Today. It turns out all they needed was four really good pitching and the 71 00:05:13.839 --> 00:05:16.519 Dodgers get the win and the Dodgers should beat the Colorado Rockies. This isn't 72 00:05:16.560 --> 00:05:19.399 a while. Look what they did. This is a tone setter in the 73 00:05:19.519 --> 00:05:24.680 NLS. This is the bottom feeders. The Colorado Rockies, a team that 74 00:05:24.759 --> 00:05:28.240 has struggled for the most part of this season. Outside of the last ten 75 00:05:28.319 --> 00:05:30.240 days, they've played better, no doubt, having won a couple of series 76 00:05:30.240 --> 00:05:33.319 in a row. But the Dodgers are more talented. The Dodgers are a 77 00:05:33.319 --> 00:05:36.160 way better team, and they showed that over the course of the last two 78 00:05:36.199 --> 00:05:40.720 days. And I think it's unfortunate the travel issues that the Dodgers had of 79 00:05:40.720 --> 00:05:43.920 being on a plane for thirteen hours, seven of which were on a tarmac 80 00:05:43.959 --> 00:05:46.600 waiting for weather and pilots to come back from New York. The Dodgers were 81 00:05:46.600 --> 00:05:54.279 sleepy, they were tired. Those bats were asleep on Friday night against the 82 00:05:54.319 --> 00:05:58.360 Colorado Rockies, and they win the series opener. Dodgers bounced back with the 83 00:05:58.399 --> 00:06:00.639 win last night, and they get the win today in the series win against 84 00:06:00.639 --> 00:06:03.360 Colorado with the victory today, so an all in all, a good day 85 00:06:03.399 --> 00:06:08.319 for the Dodgers. In front of forty eight two hundred and fifty one out 86 00:06:08.319 --> 00:06:11.560 here at Dodgers Stadium, eight sixty six, nine, eight seven two five 87 00:06:11.680 --> 00:06:15.160 seventy is our number again. The five through nine hitters. They came through 88 00:06:15.160 --> 00:06:17.759 as well. For the Dodgers. Austin Barnes was two for four, Jason 89 00:06:17.759 --> 00:06:21.600 Hayward came off the bench with a hit. Miguel Vargas was one for three. 90 00:06:23.319 --> 00:06:26.920 He continues to produce. I love seeing Miguel Vargas doing he's doing. 91 00:06:27.120 --> 00:06:30.439 I'm a big fan of his. He got injured in spring training last year. 92 00:06:30.639 --> 00:06:32.279 Couldn't swing the bat during spring training. We all know that he was 93 00:06:32.360 --> 00:06:36.439 just up there tracking pitches when he was taking his head bats. That was 94 00:06:36.480 --> 00:06:40.120 it. He couldn't swing at all because he had the busted up hand. 95 00:06:40.759 --> 00:06:45.279 He got the opening day start at second base. Offensively, he struggled the 96 00:06:45.319 --> 00:06:47.680 first half of the season and at the All Star break got sent down to 97 00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:51.240 Triple Oklahoma City and we never saw him again the rest of the year. 98 00:06:53.240 --> 00:06:55.720 They start the season with him on the roster when they go to Korea, 99 00:06:56.079 --> 00:07:00.079 but then he starts in Triple A Oklahoma City when their season starts, and 100 00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:02.879 he gets off to a great start, swinging a hot bat. The Miguel 101 00:07:03.000 --> 00:07:06.759 Vargas that we had seen in the minor leagues up until last year when he 102 00:07:06.800 --> 00:07:11.240 made it to the majors. That's what we saw again in Triple A Oklahoma 103 00:07:11.319 --> 00:07:14.600 City the first six weeks, and he gets rewarded for his great start, 104 00:07:14.920 --> 00:07:17.920 called up, James Outman goes down and Miguel Vargas hasn't got a lot of 105 00:07:17.920 --> 00:07:21.519 swings. He hasn't got a lot of starts for this Dodgers team, a 106 00:07:21.560 --> 00:07:26.680 couple of third in the outfield primarily, and he continues to produce when he's 107 00:07:26.759 --> 00:07:30.399 up there, one for three again today and he's swinging a bat with power, 108 00:07:30.720 --> 00:07:33.839 and he's also getting on base when needed. I love seeing Miguel Vargas 109 00:07:33.879 --> 00:07:36.560 out there. And he talked about it that he felt like he was just 110 00:07:36.600 --> 00:07:40.279 too much in his head. He was trying to do too much at the 111 00:07:40.319 --> 00:07:43.519 plate, you know, too many things being told to him, and went 112 00:07:43.560 --> 00:07:47.000 back to simplifying his approach at the plate. And good for him going back 113 00:07:47.040 --> 00:07:51.079 to what was successful and going back to what he did to get to where 114 00:07:51.079 --> 00:07:55.519 he was at as a top prospect and break through to the major leagues and 115 00:07:55.560 --> 00:07:59.240 now he's producing again. Love seeing it. It's a great story. Miguel 116 00:07:59.319 --> 00:08:03.240 Vargas. How about Andy Pajus blistering start, then he cooled off. Well, 117 00:08:03.240 --> 00:08:07.839 he's he's back to being hot again. He's now got a six game 118 00:08:07.240 --> 00:08:11.560 hitting streak. When he got a single in the first inning today, he's 119 00:08:11.560 --> 00:08:16.920 now hitting three to ninety five over his last what is this over his last 120 00:08:16.959 --> 00:08:22.079 seven games, Andy piovers last five games, Andy Pajs is producing again the 121 00:08:22.079 --> 00:08:26.519 bottom of the lineup Today, hitters five through nine had five of the Dodgers' 122 00:08:26.560 --> 00:08:33.480 eight hits. That's good production top to bottom, really good pitching. You're 123 00:08:33.480 --> 00:08:37.480 gonna win games most times when you've got that combination and good defense. It's 124 00:08:37.600 --> 00:08:41.559 it's it's not a secret. It's not something that not all the people are 125 00:08:41.559 --> 00:08:46.000 trying to figure out. It's just get good pitching, good defense, and 126 00:08:46.039 --> 00:08:48.639 you get production from your lineup, you are gonna win baseball games. And 127 00:08:48.679 --> 00:08:52.840 the Dodgers did that this weekend, taking two to three from the Colorado Rockies. 128 00:08:52.840 --> 00:08:56.679 Eight sixty six nine seven two five seventy is the number Freddie Freeman a 129 00:08:56.720 --> 00:09:01.440 home run today, He's now got seven the year, three hundred and twenty 130 00:09:01.440 --> 00:09:03.840 eight in his career. Mookie Betts with that leadoff home run of the first 131 00:09:03.840 --> 00:09:11.879 inning, he has now got fifty two career leadoff home runs fifty two for 132 00:09:13.000 --> 00:09:16.679 Mookie Betts in his career. That's pretty impressive. On the season. Now, 133 00:09:16.840 --> 00:09:20.559 he's got nine home runs, four of which are leadoff home runs, 134 00:09:20.879 --> 00:09:26.519 and that fifty second career leadoff home run is now fifth most in Major League 135 00:09:26.559 --> 00:09:31.320 Baseball. One more and he'll tie Craig Bighio with fifty three. Two more 136 00:09:31.440 --> 00:09:35.919 and he'll tie Alfonso Soriano with fifty four. If he can get to fifty 137 00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:39.679 seven career leadoff home runs, he'll be in second place and tie with George 138 00:09:39.679 --> 00:09:41.360 Springer. And I don't know if he can get there, certainly, he's 139 00:09:41.360 --> 00:09:46.080 still got a lot of baseball left in his career. But Ricky Henderson is 140 00:09:46.159 --> 00:09:52.399 the all time Major League Baseball leadoff home run hitter with eighty one career leadoff 141 00:09:52.399 --> 00:09:56.120 home runs fifty two. Now for Mookie Betts, I don't know if he 142 00:09:56.159 --> 00:10:01.639 gets to eighty one. He can certainly, but it's ways off for Mookie 143 00:10:01.679 --> 00:10:05.240 Betts. Eight six six nine, eighty seven two five seven. We'll take 144 00:10:05.240 --> 00:10:07.799 a break, we'll come back. We'll hear from Jose Mota, We'll hear 145 00:10:07.799 --> 00:10:09.879 from you.

He's hitting now 173 00:12:09.960 --> 00:12:13.279 two ninety three on this season. I know he keeps talking about how he 174 00:12:13.320 --> 00:12:18.200 doesn't feel like he's there yet, but man, he continues to kind of 175 00:12:18.240 --> 00:12:20.960 just try to figure it out and figure it out. And hopefully he has 176 00:12:20.000 --> 00:12:22.559 figured it out now two for four, last night, big day today, 177 00:12:22.639 --> 00:12:26.200 Hopefully he has unlocked something. I think we have to admire, you know, 178 00:12:26.879 --> 00:12:30.840 the person and stambout guy that he is, so how much he expects 179 00:12:30.840 --> 00:12:35.799 that of himself, and not only that, but the way he engages himself 180 00:12:35.960 --> 00:12:37.039 as to what he does for the team and what he means for the team. 181 00:12:37.039 --> 00:12:41.840 It's it's remarkable because I talked to so many guys in that clubhouse and 182 00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:43.919 even throughout baseball, and they said, well, you know what Freddy's kind 183 00:12:43.919 --> 00:12:46.159 of got is not gonna be very vocal, but you watch him more. 184 00:12:46.559 --> 00:12:50.799 You watch Freddy just go about his business. Also very important here, tim. 185 00:12:52.080 --> 00:12:54.360 You watch Freddy go through the struggles, and you'll know exactly what a 186 00:12:54.399 --> 00:12:58.960 professional player is supposed to be acting like, how he's supposed to be getting 187 00:12:58.000 --> 00:13:01.759 ready. I mean, I can't get over the fact that we you know, 188 00:13:01.879 --> 00:13:05.000 there's a doubleheader last year and Freddy goes between games you remember this, 189 00:13:05.159 --> 00:13:09.960 and does the same routine after game one that he does for a game two 190 00:13:09.080 --> 00:13:13.039 or three or one sixty two or whatever. That's just the sign of a 191 00:13:13.080 --> 00:13:16.279 guy that I understands who he is. And you're talking about he's hitting today. 192 00:13:16.399 --> 00:13:20.200 Anytime I see Freddy's scoring the ballt and hitting foul balls the left side, 193 00:13:20.480 --> 00:13:22.440 it's a good thing hitting it both to the big part of the field, 194 00:13:22.480 --> 00:13:24.200 like center field. I think there's some big things happening for him coming 195 00:13:24.240 --> 00:13:28.080 sent Andy pot has we talked about to blistering start that he got off to. 196 00:13:28.679 --> 00:13:31.600 He seemed to have gotten figured out at least from the different pitchers that 197 00:13:31.679 --> 00:13:35.080 he faced, and now maybe he has turned and flipped the script back on 198 00:13:35.159 --> 00:13:39.240 them. Now he has extended his hitting streak to now six games with the 199 00:13:39.279 --> 00:13:41.840 single today in the first inning. He's now hitting on nearly four hundred in 200 00:13:41.879 --> 00:13:46.200 his last five games. Good for him to kind of turn things around after 201 00:13:46.440 --> 00:13:50.000 they'd adjusted to him. Yeah, and he you know, does a very 202 00:13:50.000 --> 00:13:52.039 good job against left. He's coming into today three fifty against left. He's 203 00:13:52.279 --> 00:13:54.799 right henders have out his number. But he's getting better, as he mentioned, 204 00:13:54.840 --> 00:13:58.240 and to me has been a simple fact that now he's got better coverage 205 00:13:58.240 --> 00:14:03.360 of home plate inside the outside, the swing is getting a little bit flatter. 206 00:14:03.399 --> 00:14:05.360 You know, it doesn't have that loopy swing. It's there, let's 207 00:14:05.399 --> 00:14:09.720 not lie about it. But he's getting better adjusting and seeing how they're pitching 208 00:14:09.720 --> 00:14:11.519 to him. And on top of that, he's loading earlier. And when 209 00:14:11.559 --> 00:14:18.320 he loads early, play coverage improves, recognition improves. Andy used to have 210 00:14:18.360 --> 00:14:20.200 a walk in his game in the minor leagues, and I was like, 211 00:14:20.279 --> 00:14:24.360 going to Ropa Scoria about this the other day. He hasn't showed that you're 212 00:14:24.360 --> 00:14:26.840 in the big league, but it's in there. But the more he recognizes 213 00:14:26.879 --> 00:14:31.960 where his zone is the big league strike zone with the umpires call and don't 214 00:14:31.960 --> 00:14:33.639 call, and how they're pitching to him. And look at the one thing 215 00:14:33.639 --> 00:14:37.720 too, Tim is a young player asking himself, Okay, am I just 216 00:14:37.799 --> 00:14:41.519 making too much out of this because it's the big leagues? But yeah, 217 00:14:41.559 --> 00:14:43.519 it is a big deal. But at the same time, you got to 218 00:14:43.600 --> 00:14:46.120 go back and look and say, how many times am I getting myself out 219 00:14:46.919 --> 00:14:52.200 by spreading the zone and you know, chasing too much versus guys really beating 220 00:14:52.240 --> 00:14:54.039 me on pitches that I should handle. And I think he's answering the call 221 00:14:54.120 --> 00:14:56.960 right now. I want to stay positive before we get to the struggles of 222 00:14:58.039 --> 00:15:01.519 show. Hey, but Gavin Stone, I shut out Indians. He had 223 00:15:01.559 --> 00:15:05.559 seven shutout innings in New York and his last start didn't really face any adversity 224 00:15:05.679 --> 00:15:09.320 Jose until the fifth inning when they had runners on second and third or two 225 00:15:09.360 --> 00:15:13.399 outs, and then he gets a line drive to end the inning. I 226 00:15:13.440 --> 00:15:16.759 mean, Gavin Stone continues to impress. I mean, this kid is so 227 00:15:16.840 --> 00:15:20.879 good going back to the last start, seven shutouts, five shout out here 228 00:15:20.919 --> 00:15:24.279 today and he just throws strikes. To me, the biggest sequence and the 229 00:15:24.320 --> 00:15:28.840 most important to me was first in and he throws an all in one sinker 230 00:15:28.879 --> 00:15:33.159 in on Rogers, the cleanup hitter after a walk, and Rogers kind of 231 00:15:33.240 --> 00:15:35.320 checks the swing and say, well for seeing fast for a sinker man. 232 00:15:35.440 --> 00:15:39.320 Next pitch break them all away. And I think Dave Roberts mentioned something that's 233 00:15:39.360 --> 00:15:43.200 so important on how he has a very good sense and a pulse for the 234 00:15:43.240 --> 00:15:48.919 game. Sometimes you hold the baseball a little bit longer against guys, especially 235 00:15:48.039 --> 00:15:52.879 guys that have this wider stance, and those six get a little tighter man. 236 00:15:52.919 --> 00:15:56.120 Those are just some of the things that Greg maddox used to do in 237 00:15:56.720 --> 00:16:00.279 smarter pitchers, saying, let me hold the ball a little bit longer so 238 00:16:00.600 --> 00:16:03.559 I could gauge and throw off his timing. And he did a very good 239 00:16:03.639 --> 00:16:07.240 job today reading that. Also, I think just by hearing him talk and 240 00:16:07.440 --> 00:16:11.759 the way he refers to Austin Barnes, I mean he's learning. He's a 241 00:16:11.840 --> 00:16:15.080 plot, but it's going to get it to a point where sometimes he's going 242 00:16:15.159 --> 00:16:17.159 to call the shots and say, you know, this work for me and 243 00:16:17.240 --> 00:16:19.440 this doesn't. But I think he has somebody like Austin Barnes and Will Smith 244 00:16:19.480 --> 00:16:22.519 it I'll really engaging him and taking him in the right direction. But Le's 245 00:16:22.559 --> 00:16:26.440 today, for example, he knows taswell hitting team. I mean they want 246 00:16:26.440 --> 00:16:29.320 the fastball, and he goes instead of the change of fastball, let's change 247 00:16:29.320 --> 00:16:32.879 directions more sladers. Got a lot of strikeouts on sliders today because he really 248 00:16:32.879 --> 00:16:36.720 paid attention to how they're approaching his fastball and the change up show. Hey 249 00:16:36.720 --> 00:16:41.360 Otani zero for three today, A couple of strikeouts intentionally walked got on base 250 00:16:41.480 --> 00:16:47.519 because of catcher's interference. He is now hitting one ninety three in his last 251 00:16:47.519 --> 00:16:52.440 fifteen games. He's eleven for fifty seven with fifteen strikeouts over his fifteen games. 252 00:16:52.799 --> 00:16:55.720 Is there something you're seeing. You saw him in Anaheim, you've seen 253 00:16:55.759 --> 00:16:59.279 him now here with the Dodgers. Jose, are you seeing something different? 254 00:16:59.279 --> 00:17:02.080 This is something that he can put his finger on as far as what's happening 255 00:17:02.120 --> 00:17:06.000 in his struggles at the plate. Ah. Yes, And actually that I 256 00:17:06.160 --> 00:17:10.000 back with the Angeles. I spoke with Shorey about this that I'm and he 257 00:17:10.039 --> 00:17:11.559 mentioned the fact that his base needs to be firm, you know, his 258 00:17:11.640 --> 00:17:15.960 base needs to be where he has got the back foot planet his waves in 259 00:17:15.000 --> 00:17:18.880 the back leg. He goes in and cots that knee and waits for the 260 00:17:18.920 --> 00:17:22.839 pitch. You're not seeing that right now. You see a lot of early 261 00:17:22.920 --> 00:17:25.799 cocking with that knee and then he's flying open. His feet are not steady, 262 00:17:25.799 --> 00:17:29.359 and when that happens. First of all, he really doesn't take walks. 263 00:17:29.839 --> 00:17:32.480 A lot of times he gets into these these swing modes and it's just 264 00:17:32.519 --> 00:17:33.839 hard for him to get out of it. But I think for show he 265 00:17:34.039 --> 00:17:37.240 is getting back to the basics. You know, the way he takes picture 266 00:17:37.279 --> 00:17:40.000 Sometimes he's told me this. He goes, if I'm taking the pitch, 267 00:17:40.079 --> 00:17:42.079 I'm falling all the way into the glove. That is a good thing, 268 00:17:42.119 --> 00:17:45.839 And I need to you know, hopefully we'll see him do that a little 269 00:17:45.839 --> 00:17:48.680 bit more. But if he s show his steed moving a lot, usually 270 00:17:48.680 --> 00:17:51.519 it's not a very good sign because that means he's in swing mode, which 271 00:17:51.559 --> 00:17:53.960 means he's almost I don't want to say guessing, but just saying, I'm 272 00:17:53.960 --> 00:17:57.039 going to see this pitch here and it's not happening. And if he start 273 00:17:57.119 --> 00:18:00.759 moving and his head moves and then the strikes on does Piers. But you 274 00:18:00.839 --> 00:18:04.920 saw that bat against Lambert. He threw them seven change ups, seven ten 275 00:18:06.079 --> 00:18:10.440 ups. Not great change up, maybe one very good one, but hitter 276 00:18:10.480 --> 00:18:12.480 wal changes. But because he's moving so much, he just cannot keep the 277 00:18:12.519 --> 00:18:15.160 bat in that zone longer and go the other way, as we know he 278 00:18:15.200 --> 00:18:18.000 can do. But I've seen this happen, and before you know, he's 279 00:18:18.000 --> 00:18:21.160 locked in a couple of hits left field, a couple of blue shots, 280 00:18:21.160 --> 00:18:22.720 and he's right back where he needs to be. All right? Day off 281 00:18:22.759 --> 00:18:26.839 tomorrow, teams heading to Pittsburgh. Is there a favorite spot to eat in 282 00:18:26.920 --> 00:18:30.079 Pittsburgh for you? Is there a go to? Is it? What is 283 00:18:30.079 --> 00:18:33.279 that famous sandwich place that everybody goes to there? I can't think of the 284 00:18:33.359 --> 00:18:36.599 name, off fan, but is there a spot that you go to is 285 00:18:37.119 --> 00:18:40.279 I found the Italians there? Man, I'm gonna tell you just to find 286 00:18:40.319 --> 00:18:42.680 them and take care of business. A great little Italian, a little Italy 287 00:18:42.680 --> 00:18:47.160 there at Pittsburgh, heading to that which my dad told me about back in 288 00:18:47.200 --> 00:18:49.319 the sixties when he played about make sure when you go to Pittsburgh, you 289 00:18:49.319 --> 00:18:52.559 know, try to polish free, but also don't forget about the Italian. 290 00:18:52.599 --> 00:18:55.400 So I'm gonna try that tomorrow. Ah, that's a good insight there. 291 00:18:56.160 --> 00:19:00.480 You have to visit with a legend today. I know he was an honor. 292 00:19:00.519 --> 00:19:02.720 And I only get to see you, Jose and put eyes on you 293 00:19:02.759 --> 00:19:04.799 and talk with you face to face. But to see your dad, the 294 00:19:04.799 --> 00:19:07.279 great Manny Mota, what a legend, what an honor to talk to him. 295 00:19:07.319 --> 00:19:10.079 I was in a I would and told my kids about it. They 296 00:19:10.079 --> 00:19:14.119 couldn't believe it either. I'm no near that. But you know, Pop 297 00:19:14.160 --> 00:19:18.359 says, we have a segment every Sunday on the Spanish pregame show, you 298 00:19:18.400 --> 00:19:21.759 know, Sundays with a legend, Manny Motive. So I give him a 299 00:19:21.799 --> 00:19:23.519 topic. He just goes out about it, talked about five minutes and it's 300 00:19:23.559 --> 00:19:27.200 just great to have him around and he enjoined us so and he's a big 301 00:19:27.200 --> 00:19:30.759 fan of A and five seventy. He'll tell you that every day. Love 302 00:19:30.759 --> 00:19:33.680 it love. We are all big fans of Manny Mota and big fans of 303 00:19:33.759 --> 00:19:37.680 Jose Motive as well. Say travel tomorrow, Jose, We'll talk to you 304 00:19:37.720 --> 00:19:41.079 in a couple of days. Okay, there he goes Jose Mota. Yeah, 305 00:19:41.079 --> 00:19:44.880 it was great to see uh and visit with his dad, Manny Mode 306 00:19:44.920 --> 00:19:48.440 all the boat brief. Was great to see him in person. Just a 307 00:19:48.519 --> 00:19:51.839 legend, a Dodger legend, the great Manny Mota. So that was awesome 308 00:19:51.880 --> 00:19:55.039 to see him here. And it quieted down here at Dodger Stadium. The 309 00:19:55.079 --> 00:19:57.559 kids running the bases is all complete. Now you just got some family out 310 00:19:57.559 --> 00:20:00.720 here, Dodger players in front of off just kind of hanging out and enjoying 311 00:20:00.759 --> 00:20:04.640 a Sunday afternoon on the field as the Dodgers get the win over the Colorado 312 00:20:04.720 --> 00:20:10.680 Rockies four to nothing. Gavin Stone five shutout innings, allowed four hits while 313 00:20:10.680 --> 00:20:15.559 striking out six, and as I mentioned with Jose didn't really have any threats 314 00:20:15.680 --> 00:20:18.519 until the fifth inning, a lead off single and then a couple of fielders' 315 00:20:18.559 --> 00:20:23.880 choice before a double put runners on second and third. That was the first 316 00:20:23.920 --> 00:20:30.480 time all game that the Rockies had runners in scoring position against Gavin Stone. 317 00:20:30.559 --> 00:20:34.079 He got a line drive out to a perfect positioned Freddie Freeman and that was 318 00:20:34.119 --> 00:20:37.079 it as far as the threat from the Colorado Rockies. Dodgers tacked on a 319 00:20:37.160 --> 00:20:41.680 run in the eighth inning on a Freddie Freeman sack fly. They went it 320 00:20:41.799 --> 00:20:45.960 four to nothing. The struggles of show Hey o Tani, you know they're 321 00:20:45.960 --> 00:20:48.440 not gonna last all season, right, you know, it's something that's not 322 00:20:48.480 --> 00:20:53.880 gonna linger for the next four months. But it is intriguing to see him 323 00:20:53.920 --> 00:20:59.640 struggle at the plate right now. Eleven for fifty seven, fifteen strikeouts in 324 00:20:59.720 --> 00:21:03.640 his life fifteen games. That is a sub two hundred batting average for show 325 00:21:03.640 --> 00:21:08.440 Heyotani and watching him in person today zero for three, couple of strikeouts, 326 00:21:08.480 --> 00:21:14.640 gone on base twice via walk and the catcher's interference. Jose alluded to it. 327 00:21:15.079 --> 00:21:19.079 I can see it, and with my untrained eye, he seems to 328 00:21:19.160 --> 00:21:25.240 be lunging and just all the body weight, everything moving forward and he's off 329 00:21:25.279 --> 00:21:29.960 balance at times. And the seven straight changeups from Lampert, the reliever for 330 00:21:30.079 --> 00:21:33.160 Colorado just had him out on his front foot, and at the same time, 331 00:21:33.200 --> 00:21:37.640 teams are now pitching him inside. We saw that in the Cincinnati series 332 00:21:37.119 --> 00:21:41.240 last road trip. We saw it from the Mets as well, just constantly 333 00:21:41.240 --> 00:21:47.119 throwing him inside and not afraid to throw fastballs inside. On show Heyotani because 334 00:21:47.119 --> 00:21:49.920 he's struggling to get around on him and now he's opening it up trying to 335 00:21:49.960 --> 00:21:53.920 turn on those fastballs. Leave him vulnerable to the pitches on the outside part 336 00:21:53.920 --> 00:21:56.160 of the plan. Now when he does put a good swing on it and 337 00:21:56.240 --> 00:22:00.000 have a great at bat. We saw the results in New York in the 338 00:22:00.079 --> 00:22:03.519 game against the Mets, in which he homered to left center field on a 339 00:22:03.559 --> 00:22:08.400 fastball on the outside part of the plate and he just goes the other way 340 00:22:08.400 --> 00:22:11.480 with it, and he's so strong he hits it out of the ballpark. 341 00:22:11.880 --> 00:22:15.240 He'll figure it out. There's a reason why he's a goat, there's a 342 00:22:15.240 --> 00:22:18.160 reason why he's a unicorn. There's a reason why he's one of the best 343 00:22:18.160 --> 00:22:22.200 players in baseball, and that is because he is a great hitter and a 344 00:22:22.240 --> 00:22:26.119 disciplined player at the plate. We're just not seeing it right now, and 345 00:22:26.160 --> 00:22:29.359 he can get back to that. As Jose mentioned with these professional hitters, 346 00:22:29.440 --> 00:22:32.720 all it takes is one or two at bats, get back on track, 347 00:22:33.039 --> 00:22:36.920 figure it out, and next thing you know, you're hitting and scoring runs 348 00:22:36.920 --> 00:22:40.519 and having multi hit games and hitting home runs again, and the world is 349 00:22:40.599 --> 00:22:44.160 right again for show Aotani. But in the meantime, the Dodgers take two 350 00:22:44.200 --> 00:22:51.279 to three from the Colorado Rockies. The Dodgers win today for nothing over Colorado. 351 00:22:51.640 --> 00:22:55.599 Five shutout innings from Gavin Stone. Mookie Betts goes deep. Freddie Freeman 352 00:22:55.640 --> 00:22:57.119 goes deep as well. Eight six, six, nine eighty seven, two 353 00:22:57.240 --> 00:23:02.480 five seventy. Michael being very patient leaving Dodger Stadium. I appreciate the patience, 354 00:23:02.480 --> 00:23:06.960 Michael, how are you? I'm doing great? Shout out to Don 355 00:23:07.039 --> 00:23:11.880 Kucko's shout out to the best thing I had at Dodger Stadium today, hot 356 00:23:11.960 --> 00:23:15.759 Stone soup. He served the hot dish event. It was a great day 357 00:23:15.759 --> 00:23:18.240 at Dodger Stadium. Overcounts, the start, Son came out, ended up 358 00:23:18.240 --> 00:23:22.400 being a beautiful day. It was great to see the offense get going early. 359 00:23:22.319 --> 00:23:26.519 Great to get some energy going after losing a bunch on the road. 360 00:23:26.960 --> 00:23:29.599 Really quick before I throw it over to my son, who's gonna give his 361 00:23:29.720 --> 00:23:33.200 take. After he gives his take, I wondered if you'd talk us through 362 00:23:33.680 --> 00:23:37.920 what opportunities you think are there both on the everyday player and the pitching side 363 00:23:37.960 --> 00:23:41.640 in terms of the farm and Vargas coming up quickly. My son is the 364 00:23:41.680 --> 00:23:44.920 second grade, Dake, what do you want to say? Shout out to 365 00:23:45.000 --> 00:23:51.759 Lukie that the first hander game he had, Jack, and shout out to 366 00:23:51.880 --> 00:23:59.200 old Tani for trying and mostly games strikeouts, but he still played a good 367 00:23:59.240 --> 00:24:04.599 game. What do you think you should do to get going good? Yeah, 368 00:24:04.880 --> 00:24:08.079 it's good advice. That's great advice. What's your name again, young 369 00:24:08.119 --> 00:24:14.680 man? My name is d A K E A d at the front, 370 00:24:15.039 --> 00:24:17.960 Dake, you were wise beyond your years, young man. Do you play 371 00:24:18.039 --> 00:24:22.880 baseball yourself? Yeah? What team were you on this year? Well, 372 00:24:22.920 --> 00:24:27.359 it's not really It sponsored by the Dodgers and the name of the team is 373 00:24:27.400 --> 00:24:33.440 Blue Crew. Nice nice, well continued success, Dake. I hope you, 374 00:24:33.559 --> 00:24:37.359 uh you do well on the baseball field and appreciate you checking in you 375 00:24:37.400 --> 00:24:41.279 and your daddy to check in more here on Dodger on Dodger Talk. Oh, 376 00:24:41.119 --> 00:24:44.880 don't threaten us with a good time, and I appreciate the shout out 377 00:24:44.920 --> 00:24:48.759 to Don Kuko's Michael Dake. I appreciate you to drive home safely. That 378 00:24:48.920 --> 00:24:55.759 is awesome. I appreciate that Dake just chiming in talking about Mookie Betts going 379 00:24:55.880 --> 00:25:00.119 yard and his first at bat and not worried about showy O time. Love 380 00:25:00.240 --> 00:25:03.279 that from Dag. Thank you Dak, and to his dad Michael for checking 381 00:25:03.319 --> 00:25:07.400 in eight six six nine eighty seven two five seventy eight six six nine to 382 00:25:07.400 --> 00:25:11.680 eighty seven two five seventy. If you ever listened to Top Night Dodger talk 383 00:25:11.720 --> 00:25:14.920 the last couple of days, I've done it while Dave's been traveling. I 384 00:25:15.000 --> 00:25:17.480 give you a farm report, so I kind of tell you what's happening with 385 00:25:17.559 --> 00:25:21.480 the Dodgers' top minor league prospects from Oklahoma City all the way down to Rancho 386 00:25:21.559 --> 00:25:25.119 Kouka Manga, and I've given you some names of players to be on the 387 00:25:25.119 --> 00:25:27.200 lookout for. I mean, you hear about the Dalton Rushings. Of course, 388 00:25:27.240 --> 00:25:32.599 Dodger top prospect. You've heard about Diego Kartai, even though he has 389 00:25:32.759 --> 00:25:36.519 really come back down to earth as far as the Dodger prospect in the last 390 00:25:36.640 --> 00:25:38.519 year and a half, he has struggled offensively. He's in Double A Tulsa. 391 00:25:38.720 --> 00:25:44.119 Theron Lorenzo is in High A ball Great Lakes with the Lons. He 392 00:25:44.200 --> 00:25:48.079 is a top ten Dodger prospect, a top one hundred overall in the minor 393 00:25:48.160 --> 00:25:51.880 leagues. I bring up those three guys in the Dodger minor leagues because all 394 00:25:51.960 --> 00:25:56.680 three are catchers. Now they play some first base designate hitter as well. 395 00:25:56.799 --> 00:26:00.279 They're not solely catchers anymore because they're starting to groom him for others spots. 396 00:26:00.279 --> 00:26:03.359 I've even heard Dalton Rushing can start playing some outfield because he's that goods as 397 00:26:03.359 --> 00:26:07.960 far as an athlete. With three catchers and a guy in Will Smith who's 398 00:26:08.079 --> 00:26:12.839 just signed a ten year deal with the Dodgers, there's a logjam there at 399 00:26:12.880 --> 00:26:17.920 the catching spot for the Dodgers. If any one of those three, Dalton 400 00:26:18.000 --> 00:26:22.359 Rushing, Diego Kartaya, or Theron Lorenzo have any aspirations of making it to 401 00:26:22.440 --> 00:26:26.200 the big leagues with the Dodgers, it's gonna be tough to break through. 402 00:26:26.279 --> 00:26:29.880 They may have to go find another position to do so. But I also 403 00:26:29.960 --> 00:26:34.960 bring that up because they could be used as trades bait if the Dodgers needed 404 00:26:34.960 --> 00:26:40.000 to add another arm. If the Dodgers needed to add another bat off the 405 00:26:40.039 --> 00:26:44.440 bench, they have those players available. They also have a plethora of minor 406 00:26:44.519 --> 00:26:49.279 league arms that they've acquired via trade to bolster their minor leagues and guys they 407 00:26:49.319 --> 00:26:53.480 have drafted over the last three years. Maddox Runs a top first round pick 408 00:26:53.480 --> 00:26:56.880 in twenty twenty one. Peyton Martin was a seventeenth round pick a couple of 409 00:26:56.920 --> 00:27:00.960 years ago, has having a great year in Low A and now Hi A 410 00:27:00.000 --> 00:27:04.440 Ball with the Great Lakes Loons. Jackson Ferris, who was the second round 411 00:27:04.440 --> 00:27:07.359 pick of the Cubs and was avaulved of the Michael Bush trade they acquired him. 412 00:27:07.359 --> 00:27:10.200 They wanted to draft him a couple of years ago, but he got 413 00:27:10.200 --> 00:27:11.920 snatched up in his second round by the Cubs. Well, they're able to 414 00:27:11.920 --> 00:27:15.119 get him in the trade this past offseason involving the trade for Michael Bush, 415 00:27:15.400 --> 00:27:18.440 and now he is a top ten prospect for the Dodgers in High A ball. 416 00:27:18.519 --> 00:27:22.000 River Ryan nick Frosso is unfortunately out for the year with the Torren Labram 417 00:27:22.319 --> 00:27:26.799 are two top ten Dodger pitching prospects. And Osway De paula nineteen year old 418 00:27:27.039 --> 00:27:33.359 left handed hitting outfielders in Rancho koukamonga top fifty overall minor league prospect according to 419 00:27:33.359 --> 00:27:37.400 Baseball America. The minor leagues are stacked right now. We've seen these Gavin 420 00:27:37.440 --> 00:27:41.960 Stones, Bobby Miller's, Immit Shean's come up and help out this Dodger team 421 00:27:41.960 --> 00:27:47.839 of Michael Grove transferred from a starter into a lever, Miguel Vargas, Andy 422 00:27:47.920 --> 00:27:52.599 pat Has. These are six or seven names I just mentioned that have helped 423 00:27:52.599 --> 00:27:55.799 out this Dodger team in the last two years. I'm telling you about minor 424 00:27:55.880 --> 00:27:59.279 leaguers that are maybe a year, two, three years away, maybe four 425 00:27:59.400 --> 00:28:02.960 years away in host way to Paula. So yeah, there is a minor 426 00:28:03.039 --> 00:28:06.839 league that is rich with talent right now for this Los Angeles Dodgers team, 427 00:28:07.119 --> 00:28:10.960 mostly at the Double A level and lower, because they've really tapped into the 428 00:28:11.000 --> 00:28:14.559 top minor league prospects that are in Triple A those names I just mentioned to 429 00:28:14.599 --> 00:28:17.720 you just a few seconds ago. So I don't think there's a plethora of 430 00:28:17.759 --> 00:28:22.839 guys that are necessarily right there ready and can help out this Dodgers team because 431 00:28:22.880 --> 00:28:25.799 they've brought up those names, and they've brought up those pitchers and players to 432 00:28:25.839 --> 00:28:27.839 help out this Dodgers team, but they're at the lower levels, certainly guys 433 00:28:27.839 --> 00:28:33.759 that are on the horizon. And at least I mentioned you got extra arms. 434 00:28:33.880 --> 00:28:37.519 You've got a lot of prospects. You can turn those prospects into instant 435 00:28:37.519 --> 00:28:41.839 major league pitchers or position players based on a trade eight six six nine eight 436 00:28:41.880 --> 00:28:44.519 seven two five said, you know what, let's squeeze in Ezzy before we 437 00:28:44.559 --> 00:28:48.200 say goodbye here and wrap things up here on Dodger Talk. I appreciate the 438 00:28:48.200 --> 00:28:52.559 way. And Izzy, how are you? Hey, I'm fine. You 439 00:28:52.559 --> 00:29:00.240 don't sound Finezy you, I'm fine. I'm fine. Hey, you know, 440 00:29:00.400 --> 00:29:04.319 I don't care, but I they didn't place it. I definitely had 441 00:29:04.359 --> 00:29:07.960 no excuse to me to lose that game. On to this is sweating, 442 00:29:08.079 --> 00:29:11.680 but listen, I'll just take it two hours three. Hey, they didn't 443 00:29:11.680 --> 00:29:15.519 be swept, right, They got swept by the Red last week, so 444 00:29:15.880 --> 00:29:21.680 by the week, but they'll be okay. So yeah, I think he'll 445 00:29:21.720 --> 00:29:25.559 be okay too. I still think he'd have me trouble with the hamstring problem. 446 00:29:25.640 --> 00:29:27.160 Peo. I don't know about that. Is he sTLD the base last 447 00:29:27.240 --> 00:29:30.480 night. He was running the base is hard today. I don't know how 448 00:29:30.519 --> 00:29:33.319 much of it's lingering. Thank you. Is he always great to hear your 449 00:29:33.400 --> 00:29:38.759 voice as always. I don't I don't think the hamstring is necessarily the bother 450 00:29:38.839 --> 00:29:42.480 anymore. I think it's just his mechanics are out of whack, and he'll 451 00:29:42.480 --> 00:29:47.079 get it. He'll get it back very quickly. I'm confident in that. 452 00:29:47.319 --> 00:29:49.440 And Friday's game, whether they were tired or not, they also ran into 453 00:29:49.440 --> 00:29:52.960 a buzzaw. That was Dakota Hudson who out just one run on four hits 454 00:29:52.960 --> 00:29:56.000 over seven plus innings. So he was really good. You tip your cap 455 00:29:56.079 --> 00:30:00.839 to him, and you factor in the fact that Dodgers baby were a little 456 00:30:00.079 --> 00:30:04.960 slow and lingering because of that travel issue. Combine it all and the Rockies 457 00:30:04.960 --> 00:30:07.240 get a win. But the Dodgers bounced back last night with the win, 458 00:30:07.440 --> 00:30:14.880 and they bounce back today with a series winning win over Colorado for nothing your 459 00:30:15.000 --> 00:30:18.359 final that's gonna do it for postgame Dodger Talk.
