Dodger Talk is sponsored by La Care Health Plan, providing affordable healthcare insurance to
millions of Angelinos for over twenty five years. And now your voice for Dodger
Talk like that, David Vasse. We are live at Oracle Park in San
Francisco. After the Dodgers score eleven runs in the top of the eleventh inning
to beat the Giants tonight by a final score of fourteen to seven. Seven
runs scored in the eleventh inning in a tied ballgame, and the Dodgers are
able to pour it on against Sean Jelly and get the win. Eight six
six ninety seven two five seventy is the phone call phone number. David Vasse
with you until nine to thirty here on Dodger Talk tonight, and coming up
later you will hear my conversation with the one and only Fernando Vealnezuela, because
thirty four years ago tonight at Dodger Stadium, Fernando Vealnezuela through his one and
only career no hitter, and you'll go inside that no hitter with the one
and only thirty four. But between now and then, it's all about this
exciting game tonight Here at Oracle Park Day going in tonight. Because this game
was well passed the three hour mark when it ended, when the Dodgers sealed
the victory fourteen to seven, it was a game that took three hours and
forty five minutes. Both managers emptied their bullpen. The Dodgers used all eight
of their relievers, while the Giants used seven different pitchers, including an opener
in Eric Miller, who only pitched one inning. Tyler Glassnew, who has
been outstanding for the Dodgers all season long, had one of those rare off
nights. He only lasted three innings and gave up five earned runs. Now,
I will say this, Tyler glass Now was not helped out by his
third baseman in that third inning, Cavin Vigio, who made a physical error,
and then when he had an opportunity to try to go for an inning
ending double play, instead he ran to third base for the forth south there
and then threw across the diamond and the throw was late, and another run
had scored in what was a thirty seven pitch third inning for glass Now,
and the Giants scored four runs in the bottom of the third inning, and
from that point on, the Dodgers showed their resiliency coming back and scoring for
their own in the top of the fourth inning. Eight six, six,
nine, eight, seven, two five seventy is the phone number. So
Dave Roberts had to use all of his relievers tonight all eight were used.
And what can you say about Daniel Hudson. Not ideal to allow the tying
run to score, but when the runner is already in scoring position that it's
not. Just like Daniel Hudson allowed him to get to second base, he
was there already. So that's the design of the rule to try to end
games quickly and not to have them go three hours and forty five minutes into
extra innings. But he allowed that runner to score, but did not allow
the game to get away from him and the Dodgers. With one out,
Dave Roberts I loved what he did. Brought in Chris Taylor for a five
man infield with one out and Patrick Bailey at the plate. Bailey struck out
Daniel Hudson then got the next batter, Matt Chapman, to pop up in
foul territory to Will Smith, and after Hudson struck out Bailey, Taylor went
back to center field, and you know, with two outs you don't need
a five man infield, but with one out, a ball to the outfield
is going to score that runner at third base. So that was the reason
why Dave Roberts brought in Taylor to be the fifth infielder. Will Smith,
who came into San Francisco struggling. He was just two for his last thirty
four coming into last night's game. Feels like that day off on Wednesday to
focus on his mechanical hitting adjustments have worked. Because he looked good last night.
He looked good in this game today. Heliotramos made a miracle catch on
Will Smith earlier in this game, and in the top of the eleventh inning,
after Bob Melvin decided to intentionally walk show Hey Otani to put runners at
first and second with nobody out, Will Smith delivered a two run, go
ahead double and Ken Rosenthal on Fox Sports caught up with the Dodger catcher Will
find This game was six to six after five innings. You guys scored seventh
in the eleventh minut What was it like playing in this game? Yeah?
That was a fun ending steel air and throw and move forward. It's getting
through I'm just gonna beats uh, you know, nine of us, I
guess. So that's a good win. Coguring out to win, and you
know even the series, you're back first and second, none, he got
down O two. You can watch yourself process at that point. I mean,
I'm just trying to get the guy over from second to third. No,
luckily the ball gotten again. But yeah, I'm just gonna get the
bat in the air to center somewhere, got down for a double. We
caught nine different pictures today. What impressed you most about your Bullpenn? Yeah,
they were great. They were great. We used all of them,
so they're all really good. They only give up one run, two runs
maybe, but yeah, they've been really good lately. We've been leading on
a lot, so so then to come in keep us, keep us in
it, and uh, you know it's huge. Well, thanks a lot.
Congratulations. All right, there's Will Smith with Ken Rosenthal on Fox Sports
after the Dodgers scored seven runs in the eleventh inning to beat the Giants tonight.
Fourteen to seven, eight six six ninety seven two five seventy is the
phone number. Also, we cannot say enough about Jason Hayward, who makes
the right baseball play. The veteran understands the situations. And with Chris Taylor
pinch running for Andy Pajz as the placed runner to begin the top of the
tenth inning, Jason Hayward understood, I just have to get that runner to
third base. Somehow, some way, I have to pull this ball to
the right side. He did his job. He grounded out to the first
baseman, Lamontway Junior. Taylor was at third base, and that's where Miguel
Rojas's job was made a lot easier. It just makes the bat so different
with the runner ninety feet away rather than being at second base. And Rojas
had a tremendous game tonight. He was able to collect his third hit and
drive in his third run at that point in time. Rojas drove in the
seventh and final run of the eleventh inning with a sacrifice fly to score Jason
Hayward, who tripled in a couple of runs in the top of the eleventh
inning. So a tremendous game by Jason Hayward, and he cannot go unnoticed.
And he also made a great slide at home plate in the fourth inning
and maybe have it might have distracted Patrick Bailey from not coming up with that
ball that Luis Mattos threw on a line to him. Bailey dropped the ball,
Hayward was safe, and the Dodgers were on their way to scoring four
runs to tie the game in the fourth inning. Just an incredible seesaw game,
awesome game to be at. If you were a Dodger fan and you
were here thirty nine thousand and six sixty three, you thoroughly enjoyed yourself.
And in the eleventh inning, by the time the Dodgers scored the first three
or four runs, the Giants fans were headed to the exits and the Dodger
Blue was still in their seats or standing up. Eight six six, seven,
two five seventy is the phone number. Dodgers beat the Giants today,
fourteen to seven in eleven innings. Let's go out to the phones. James
in North Hollywood lead us off tonight on Dodger Talk. Happy to you,
Dave. I can't say enough about Miguel Rojas. He is the man.
He made adjustments to his swing. He's been working with the guys. He's
a guy in his mid thirties towards the end of his career who has made
adjustments that is giving him the best batting average that I think he's probably ever
had. And he was doing all that work before Mookie went down. He
was doing that work saying, I just want to be ready to be the
best player I can as a substitute. Now, that kind of attitude,
when the Dodgers say that he is invaluable, I think, to me,
that's what they're talking about. That says that if you want to win,
that is the kind of work that you do. And I believe that he
should be hitting fifth or sixth in the lineup and not seventh and eighth like
he has been for the last month. And he's been hot as hell for
the last two months, so I do want to know with him though recently
hitting fifth. We have seen him hit fifth recently, so Dave Roberts is
putting him in those situations when it's the right matchup. I love that,
Dave. I love to see when he does it, but I would like
to see him do it more often. And I do want to support you,
my man, and say that Dave, seeing him position the fielders tell
everybody what to do. He's got guys for that. But I love how
much Dave cares. He is a top step kind of manager, and he
is always there. He says no, you go here, you go there,
and he's got guys that can do that. But when the game's on
the line, I love how engaged he is. We all know how much
he's there for his players, but to see him be there on every single
play and to do it today. Anybody who says that Dave Roberts is not
the right manager for the Dodgers is insane in my opinion. All right,
James, thanks a lot for the phone call. Yeah, Dave Roberts was
the one waving Chris Taylor in to be the fifth infielder in the tenth inning
when Daniel Hudson and the Dodgers were up against the Ropes there with one out
and the runner at third base. And look, he has a great support
staff, Dino Ebol, Danny Lehman, Clayton McCullough, Mark Pryor, Connor
McGinnis, a great support staff for Dave Roberts, and he lets them do
their job and they support him really well. And that's what makes it a
really good coaching staff. Eight sixty six nine eight seven two five seventy is
the phone number. And look, the Dodgers did not need this game as
much as the Giants. But Dave Roberts, he understands the rivalry and he
wanted to win this game. And I think he showed that by the way
he managed the bullpen tonight. He emptied the bullpen, he took Tyler glass
Now out after the third inning. That's a big picture move right there.
But also he maneuvered the bullpen really well tonight, using all eight of them,
and stuck with Daniel Hudson in that inning and maybe would have brought him
back out for the eleventh if it didn't get out of hand. But I
think Dave Roberts, by his actions during the game, showed us how much
he wanted to win this game. Eight six, six nine, eight seven
two five seventy is the phone number. Dodgers beat the Giants in eleven,
fourteen to seven. Let's go out to Robert who was at Oracle Park.
Robert, I'm sure it was a great three hours and forty five minutes for
you. Yeah, it certainly was. I loved every minute of it.
Giant fan had a deal with him. He said, hey, I owe
you a Dodger game, but it's got to be at Oracle Park. And
man, I'm glad I showed up from the Central Coast. Usually show up
at the Ravine five or six times a year, So bug get agreed.
Dave Roberts' strategy was right on point tonight. A little concern about Jackson a
bull pen, but man, pantum blue we rocked tonight. Were you part
of that crew? Absolutely? Where were you sitting in the outfield or another
section with them? No section, let's say one twenty seven on field level?
All right, I bet it didn't matter. There was lots of blue.
All right, Robert, thanks a lot for the phone call. Glad
you had a great time, and glad the Dodgers delivered a thrilling fourteen to
seven win in eleven innings eight six, six, nine, eight seven two
five seventy is the phone number? Can you believe? With this victory tonight,
the Dodgers now have beaten the Giants fourteen of the last seventeen games played
here at Oracle Park. This goes back to June of twenty twenty two,
when the and swept the Dodgers in a series that summer. Since then,
fourteen seems to be the number tonight because the Dodgers have won fourteen of their
last seventeen games played here at Oracle Park. Eight six six nine eight seven
two five seventy is the phone number. James in North Hollywood mentioned Miguel Rojas.
He had a tremendous game, his steady self at shortstop and also contributed
with the bat. He is now hitting two ninety seven with an ops of
almost eight hundred seven to ninety. That's Max Munsey territory right there for Miguel
Rojas. And tonight he had three hits and four RBIs and he stopped by
after the game. A new record started today when Miguel Rojas has three hits
and drives in four runs, the Dodgers are undefeated, right. I mean,
I guess he took everything, every little bit of it today. He
was a tamare for we never stole five. You know, like, uh,
season's gonna go up and down, but this team is showing the I
mean, regardless of what we're going through, where we're playing, the circumstances
or whatever, we're always gonna keep fighting. And I mean it's nice to
see like everybody coming together in that inning after hardy escape that I mean as
pure emotions, and it was pretty good, pretty good w for us today.
Miguel, you said it right there. How resilient is this team.
It's really good. I feel like that's that's all you can ask for.
You know, every single day we come to a ball park with the expectation
to win, and we don't take it for granted. We want to win
every single game and we know what we want to accomplish, which is winning
in the in the in the postseason and winning awards years. This game was
pretty much a postseason game, to be honest with you, here against our
arrival, and it's always nice to win here. It had to be fun
to play in this environment, sell out crowd and get to win seven runs
in the eleventh inning. Yeah, I mean for sure. I mean,
all your friends travel really well. You see the the THEEO Blue in the
left field bleachers out there. I mean, thank you for the support.
He's always nice to feel like we're playing at home every single time that we're
playing. But playing this weekend here in San Francisco this year is gonna meant
to us. Hey, Miguel Rojas means a lot to the Dodgers and Dodger
fans, Thanks a lot for stopping by and congratulations on a great win.
Thank you, Davey appreciation. There is Miguel Rojas, a tremendous member of
this Dodger ball club. Where would they be without Miguel Rojas. Not many
teams can lose two short stops to start the year. Remember Gavin lux the
right leg would not allow him to play short stop. Two days before the
Dodgers leave for Korea, Mookie Betts makes the move and then Mooki as you
know, breaks his left hand on a ninety eight fastball on Father's Day and
Miguel Rojas steps in. Not many teams can say they have a player like
Miguel Rojas. Eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy is the phone
number. Dodgers scored seven runs in the eleventh inning to beat the Giants tonight
fourteen to seven in front of a sellout crowd at Oracle Park thirty nine thousand,
six hundred and sixty three. One thing that Miguel Rojas said there during
the interview was how resilient this Dodger team is. And when I was filling
in on sports net LA on Wednesday in Chicago, John Hartung said, he
wanted me to think of what stood out to me the most about the first
eighty one games of this Dodger season. And I thought it would have more
impact if I asked a player, a veteran player on the Dodgers, what
stood out to them about the first eighty one game. So I went to
my baseball conscience, and that is Jason Hayward on the Dodgers, at least
I have a few of them, and I would say Jason Hayward is one
of them on this team, maybe the foremost voice that I go to as
far as the temperature of the team, what he's seeing. And he told
me it wasn't Mooki just playing shortstop or you know, you know, guys
filling in or the bullpen. He said all of those things. He said,
there's a plan in place, but individually each game the plan has not
gone to form. As a season, the plan has not been what they
thought it would be, and the Dodger players and manager Dave Roberts have been
very nimble and very resilient, whether it's a game like today, whether it's
withstanding an injury like Yoshi Yamamoto going down or Joe Kelly Ryan Brasier in the
bullpen. This Dodger team, according to Jason Hayward, has been more resilient
this year and battle tested this year than last year. And I tend to
agree with him. I don't feel like the Dodgers' last regular season had as
much adversity to overcome as they have had to overcome. And the first eighty
one games of this season, and I thought, and I believe tonight in
that tenth inning by Daniel Hudson, who did not give in, and that
eleventh inning by the Dodger offense just showed how resilient this team is. And
that's why I go to Jason Hayward. His words mean a lot, and
his play means a lot too. He made so many smart baseball plays tonight.
The baseball gods, as Jose Motis said, rewarded him with that two
run triple in that seven run eleventh inning for the Dodgers. Eight six,
six nine seven two five seventy is the phone number. Let's go out to
Hemmett. Glenn. You're on Dodger Talk Live from Oracle Park. Hi Glenn,
Hi David, nice to meet you. I saw you on GZ finally
and I want to talk to you about kershaw When when do you think he
might be going back and how is he doing well? Glenn, he had
a little bump in the road during the last home stand after his first re
start. He felt some soreness in his left shoulder and the Dodgers have shut
him down from throwing. So not sure what the timeline is now. It's
up to Kershawn how his shoulder has responded over the course of the last seven
to ten days. So I feel like we'll know more when we see him
on Tuesday at Dodger Stadium when they come back. But Glenn's shoulders and shoulder
surgeries are very dicey and we just have to wait and see on how all
of this goes about. But uh, maybe late August at this point.
Okay, thank you all right, Glenn, Thanks for the phone call.
Eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy is the phone number. We're
gonna take a time out here live from Oracle Park when we return. More
of your phone calls at eight sixty six nine eighty seven two five seventy.
Also we will hear from number thirty four. El Todd himself on the thirty
fourth anniversary of his one only career no hitter. It was against the Saint
Louis Cardinals at Dodgers Stadium on this night, nineteen ninety. So you'll go
inside the no hitter with the man himself, Fernando Valezuela. Don't go anywhere.
There's more Dodger Talk live from Oracle Park after the Dodgers beat the Giants
fourteen to seven in eleven innings on a five to seventy LA Sports on air
at AM five seventy, online at AM five seventy LA sports dot com,
and available by podcast on the iHeartRadio app. This is Dodger Talk with David
Bassen. Jason Hayward First and second, still no out. First pits swinging
credit football down the right phild line. Heyl score great life for fifteen.
As the ball gets all the way to the corner, Hayward heads up there,
Hey, two run triptball. Jason Hayward was fired up too, standing
at third base staring into that Dodger dugout. Everybody was fired up in that
Dodger dugout in the eleventh inning, as the Dodgers scored seven runs to beat
the Giants, coming from behind fourteen to seven. And looking for winning the
series and winning this road trip by going five to one the Dodgers fourteen to
seven victors tonight in eleven innings at Oracle Park. This is Dodger Talk with
you until nine to thirty tonight here on a five to seventy LA Sports we
want to remind you that Daniels Jewelers is the official sponsor of the trip around
the Diamond. Stop by any Daniel's location in say home run for your free
team bracelet and fifty dollars gift card toward any purchase of ninety nine dollars or
more. Daniel's Jewelers owned the dream. And look, I don't want to
keep going on and on about Jason Hayward, but if you look at this
game, there's about four or five guys that really stand out for me in
a game like tonight. Number one Daniel Hudson not going in in the tenth
inning to find a way to get the final two outs. Number two Miguel
Rojas a tremendous game, three hits, four RBIs and playing tremendous shortstop.
Number three it's Jason Hayward. Jason Hayward did so many of the little things
and big things to keep the Dodgers in this game and eventually give them the
opportunity to score seven runs in the eleventh inning to beat the Giants tonight fourteen
to seven in eleven. And of course Will Smith, who had a two
run, go ahead double to start that's seven run eleventh inning for the Dodgers.
And look, how about the Dodger bullpen as well. Once again,
whether it's a bullpen game or an impromptu starter getting hurt or being ineffective like
Tyler Glass now was today, the Dodgers used all eight of their relievers and
you have to give credit to this Dodger bullpen. They have been tremendous,
even without some of the household names at times, like Evan Phillips who missed
a month. The Dodgers still have not got back Joe Kelly or Ryan Brazier.
Kelly may return on the upcoming homestand but the Dodgers have picked up two
guys off waiver wires that have been tremendous Johann Ramirez and Anthony Banda, I
mean, Connor McGinnis and Mark Pryor have done something special with those guys as
well. To go along with the veterans Blake Trinan and Daniel Hudson. You
can't say enough about them either, coming off basically two years of not pitching
because of knee surgeries or knee injuries for Daniel Hudson and shoulder surgery for Blake
Trinan. You can't say. You can't say an about those guys. Eight
six six ninety seven two five seventy is the phone number. Dodgers beat the
Giants fourteen to seven in eleven innings. We gotta take our friend Isabelle and
Anaheim. Hi, Isabelle, you're on Dodger Talk. How you doing?
Is he? I'm being good. I am so happy that when last night
I was so bubbed. You don't know how bum my way And I let
you know this. I hate the Giant at my I hate the man,
I hate the Yankee, so they pay that way. So but okay,
yeah, I think we all agree with that. Yeah. I have to
get I get this off my chest sopen. But give me the last week.
I just I just I'm moving about row Heart. He's playing well,
no Dad, but I'm just willy. I'm just willy that he may get
injuryself. So do you think Mookie should play shortstop when he comes back.
I you know, yeah, I guess. I. Well, did you
guys do something? I would like to have him back. I think you
had done a pretty good job. I would like to have him back in
right field. But yeah, I get you know, if they have they
have to do it. Yeah, but there's no way, and I think
we would. He need to be you need to be back in the line
of hitting face. Oh and there's something else that bugging me the last five
years that I need to get this at me. Five years, five years
it's been on your chest. Wow, this is this is gonna be big.
Hold on, hold on? Do we have a dramatic pause as a
bell? You're saying for five years you have had something bothering you, lingering
over you when it comes to the Dodgers. All right, let's hear it.
Yeah, well really it's been four years. But who's plating in?
I agree it's something I something I got to agree with you. I hate
this say I hate the extra inning is second base? Yeah you don't like
that, ghost runner, I hate it. I hate it. So next
year, if you have to all going in your pretty old b manpreak,
come California. They give me a call, I'll go to Dodgers a within
and I'm going on my cad to give me the Dodgers ay and but that
show no, but I swear, okay, we'll make it happen for you,
and uh we'll talk about the runner at second base. All right,
Thanks, Isabelle, appreciate the phone call. And I'm glad you finally got
that off your chest. Isabelle and Anaheim, see I put her on the
show. Eight six six nine seven two five seventy is the phone number.
Dodgers beat the Giants tonight fourteen to seven in eleven innings. And look,
I felt going on this road trip, the Dodgers should come home with a
five and one record. They took care of business in Chicago, sweeping the
lowly white Sox, who are on pace right now to tie the sixty two
Mets for the worst record or the most losses in Major League Baseball history with
one hundred and twenty. So they took care of business there, and I
felt like there was two wins for the Dodgers to take here in San Francisco.
You've seen the first two games, even throw out the records as they
say, this is a tough ballpark to beat the Giants, and the Dodgers
have done it fourteen of the last seventeen times, which is really hard to
wrap your head around. Considering how good the Giants are in this ballpark.
They are much different on the road, no matter what the construction of their
roster is. They are a much different, more human team on the road
than they are here at Oracle Park. So the Dodgers certainly accomplished something,
winning fourteen of the last seventeen. We're gonna hear from Fernando Vealezuela on the
thirty fourth anniversary of his no hitter, But first let's take one more phone
call Mike and riverside. You're on Dodger Talk. You know what you were
referring to earlier. It's kind of hard to leave Miguel Rojas out of the
lineup. So obviously I think Max months he's coming back after the All Star
break. But I think when Mooki is ready to come back, you may
be platoon Mooki at second, Miguel at short against cleftenders. And I don't
I don't know what the solution is. Do you leave do you leave Gavin
luck Well here's the solution, Mike. The trade deadline's coming up here soon.
Uh, there's no secret about it. If the Dodgers make an impact
trade, there's a good chance Gavin Lux or Miguel Vargas is going to be
part of that trade. Maybe one, maybe both. But sorry. If
Miguel Rojas is playing like this and the Dodgers feel like they can keep him
healthy for the playoffs, Mookie Betts is going back to second base and Miguel
Rojas is staying at shortstop. And if Gavin Lux is on this roster,
he's a bench player. Agreed. Definitely agreed. I mean, like Miguel
Vargas told me before today's game, he wants to be in the lineup.
He believes he deserves to be in the lineup, but he's putting his feelings
in his locker and that's where he's leaving it and putting on the Dodger jersey
and playing for the name on the front, not on the name on the
back. That's what Miguel Vargas told me today, Mike. That's the attitude
everybody should have the rest of the year. Definitely, completely agree. So
thank you so much for taking my call. David, my pleasure, Mike,
thanks for the phone call. I wanted to share with you on this
special anniversary because Fernando valen Zuela means so much to all of us. We
have to celebrate the thirty fourth anniversary of number thirty four's one and only career
no hitter, and I was lucky enough that Fernando agreed to doing it in
an interview with me a couple of years ago on the anniversary of this no
hitter. In fact, we did this back in twenty eighteen, June twenty
ninth, twenty eighteen, and he took us inside of the no hitter of
what he remembered. And Fernando is super humble and doesn't want it to be
about himself, but he agreed to help me out and share with you and
me what took place June twenty ninth, nineteen ninety How you doing, David,
Thanks for these chance opportunities to say hi to Oh you listens. Yeah,
So that's that's great. You know twenty eight years ago. Well,
that's the great moment for me and my career. So that's that's good.
Great, that's good. Is it true before the game that you told your
teammates. You saw one no hitter with Dave Stewart, You're about to see
another one? Or is that legend? No, no, that's a little
comment, but that one. But it happens, Yeah, it happens.
But yeah, I remember we were watching the the Sers game and I say
something like that. You know, I say, well, you guys watching
one on TV. Now it's gonna be one alive. So that's that's happened.
But you know that's like I say, it's it's it's you know,
for the pitchers, I think it's another another I don't know, like maybe
one shut up now for me and no hit? That was that was one
of the best moment and and that's happened. But I think for to have
no hitter, I think you need a good, good defense offense. And
I think the team they did it. They put so good good defense and
and let's go run. So that's that's make the pictures strong. The more
comfortable. Could you feel in the bullpen? Your screwball was better than normal?
Or what what was so special? David? Years ago? I don't
know, you don't remember that. I don't remember, but you know,
in my case, when I don't have a good control, I think it's
going to have a trouble. And for me, that's that's that's when when
I have a good control, and I think that's when I'm gonna have good
games, you know. But that's not my my my best, you know,
so I have to mix it up in the corners and and tried to
cook my arm on top for the school ball. But if I have a
good control, I'm guingantee, I'm going to have a good game. And
uh, and that's happened that your less better that you face was your old
teammate Pedro Guerrero. And when you're facing him with one out in the ninth
inning, you don't seem like a guy that would get nervous. So do
you remember what you may have been feeling at that moment? You know,
just I go everybody, I go and try to do my best. And
when when when that's happened? When I think it was was one out man
the first when Pedro coming up, and uh, I know he liked to
pull everything and uh, but in that situation, I can't see it when
he tried to get it hit, he tried to get a hit. He
don't tried to hit it homer, he tried to get a hit, and
I say, that's when, uh, when I tried to keep the ball
in the hands, what my cutter and keep it keeping a Ryan hands.
And then that's when he had that ground bow back to the middle and and
uh once some more was Ryan the back and turned for a double play.
But I was curious when you were pitching, how big were you on scouting
reports, scouting hitters. Did you know other hitters weaknesses? No, I
watching the games in those days, Uh, the day before going to face
one one team, we like to watch the game, the hitters and what's
the guess they'd like to go the other way or when they go for the
to pull the ball. And I think that's that's the report we used to
have and in the old days, and it works, you know, because
everybody is different. Someone's thrown ninety five, ninety four miles an hour,
someone's eighty eight, you know. But so that's that's when really every pitcher's
going whatever for whatever they have in that moment, you know, in that
game and that and that night. And so that's that's the only thing I
remember, you know, when Pedro hit it back to the medal, is
it. I know he's going to try to get it, go back to
the medal or to go the other way. Fernando, thanks a lot for
the time. Always great to share a great memory. And I know you
don't like talking about yourself, but today was a pretty big day in your
career. Yeah, yeah, thank you. Thank you to remind me.
I forget that one too, but thanks to you and all the all the
Dia fans there he is the great Fernando of Allen's Way, thirty four years
ago, throwing his one and only career no hitter with Mike Soosha behind the
plate, Pedro Guerrero, his former teammate, ending the game with a double
play, and you can throw your sombrero to the sky thirty four years ago.
And hope you enjoyed that conversation I had with Fernando a few years back
about his no hitter, because I've never heard those stories before, so I
hope you enjoyed it. That'll do it for us. On Dodger Talk tomorrow,
the Dodgers will have James Paxton on the mound. He's seven and one
with an ERA of three point thirty nine. Morongo Casino Dodgers on deck begins
at noon with first pitch at one oh five. The Dodgers are looking for
a five to one road trip after a sweep in Chicago and splitting the first
two games here at Oracle Park. What a game today as the Dodgers score
seven runs in the eleventh inning to beat San Francisco. Thanks to dwayn McDonald
out here at Oracle Park in San Francisco. Thanks to Colin Yee back at
our Burbank studios, and thanks to you for listening. In case you missed
any of the show, you can find it on the iHeartRadio app. Once
again. The final score tonight from Oracle Park in San Francisco, the Dodgers
defeat the Giants in eleven innings, fourteen to seven. Have a great rest
of your Saturday. See you, send you away.
