fans are on their way home.
Please be safe out there, wherever you

Dodger Talk. Phone lines are open
at eight sixty six nine eighty seven two

Jose Mota, we will hear from Clayton

9
00:00:44.880 --> 00:00:49.439
Kershaw, who we caught up with
after his bullpen session today, and we

10
00:00:49.479 --> 00:00:53.399
will take your phone calls. Lines
are open at eight six six nine eighty

11
00:00:53.439 --> 00:00:58.520
seven two five seventy. After the
Dodgers fall to the Diamondbacks tonight by a

12
00:00:58.560 --> 00:01:04.040
final score of nine to three.
The Dodger offense struggling in the last two

13
00:01:04.159 --> 00:01:11.920
games. Last night, the Diamondbacks
scored eleven unanswered runs against the Dodgers after

14
00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:15.079
they took a four to one lead
in the first inning of last night's game.

15
00:01:15.439 --> 00:01:21.280
Tonight, the Dodgers were not heard
from outside of Austin Barnes hitting a

16
00:01:21.319 --> 00:01:25.920
flare with two outs in the fourth
inning to get the Dodgers back in this

17
00:01:26.079 --> 00:01:30.280
game and also give that Dodger dugout
some life. Really, that dugout has

18
00:01:30.319 --> 00:01:34.680
been lifeless for the last week or
so. And that's what I've been talking

19
00:01:34.719 --> 00:01:41.959
about, talking about playing with urgency, not allowing complacency to set in.

20
00:01:42.319 --> 00:01:47.840
And in a game that Zach Gallen
only pitches four innings, you would say

21
00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:53.879
the Dodgers won that game. If
I told you after the fireworks show somewhere

22
00:01:53.879 --> 00:01:57.519
else in Los Angeles, I said, hey, tonight at Dodgers Stadium,

23
00:01:57.799 --> 00:02:04.000
Zach Gallen only went four innings,
I bet you would believe the Dodgers won

24
00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:08.000
that game. That's a game you
should win when Zach Gallan throws eighty five

25
00:02:08.080 --> 00:02:14.759
pitches in four innings. Instead,
the Dodgers lost nine to three, and

26
00:02:14.840 --> 00:02:21.000
once again, Dodger killer Christian Walker
hit two more home runs tonight. He

27
00:02:21.159 --> 00:02:25.000
drove in three runs. He has
now homered in five straight games at Dodger

28
00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:30.759
Stadium. He became just the second
player ever to hit five or more home

29
00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:37.439
runs in a series of three games
or fewer against the Dodgers. The last

30
00:02:37.439 --> 00:02:43.360
guy to do that was Don Miller
back in nineteen fifty one. So basically,

31
00:02:43.439 --> 00:02:49.319
Christian Walker has done something here that
no other player has done in quite

32
00:02:49.360 --> 00:02:54.080
some time. And also now Christian
Walker has the most home runs hit at

33
00:02:54.120 --> 00:03:01.000
Dodgers Stadium since twenty eighteen, nineteen
home runs hit here at Dodgers Stadium.

34
00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:07.120
And I thought it was somewhat humorous
that in his fourth played appearance, Dave

35
00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:12.520
Roberts, with two outs in the
inning and a runner at second base first

36
00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:17.879
base open, put up the four
fingers and Dodger Stadium cheered like something really

37
00:03:17.919 --> 00:03:23.159
good happened. So that's where things
were tonight. And not only do the

38
00:03:23.199 --> 00:03:28.759
Dodgers lose this game, they also
lose Jason Hayward with a left knee injury.

39
00:03:29.199 --> 00:03:34.719
Jason Hayward is expected to have an
MRI tomorrow, and if Jason Hayward

40
00:03:34.800 --> 00:03:38.960
is on the show for an extended
period of time, James Outman has done

41
00:03:38.080 --> 00:03:44.319
really well at Oklahoma City, and
basically the Dodgers were not going to call

42
00:03:44.400 --> 00:03:50.680
Autman back up unless there was an
injury type of situation, which right now,

43
00:03:50.919 --> 00:03:55.639
there may be. It's never good
to hear Jason Hayward not sound optimistic

44
00:03:55.680 --> 00:04:00.560
about an injury. He's a veteran, aging veteran in and when you leap

45
00:04:00.639 --> 00:04:04.400
and you come back down and your
left knee is hurting, that's not a

46
00:04:04.400 --> 00:04:10.319
great sign. James Outman has cooled
off a little bit in Oklahoma City,

47
00:04:10.599 --> 00:04:14.080
but his ops is at nine twenty
four. He has nine home runs and

48
00:04:14.159 --> 00:04:17.959
twenty one RBIs, so he may
be on his way back to Los Angeles

49
00:04:18.199 --> 00:04:23.360
if Jason Hayward has to go on
the injured list. Eight sixty six,

50
00:04:23.480 --> 00:04:27.519
nine eighty seven, two five seventy
is the phone number. Before we get

51
00:04:27.560 --> 00:04:31.360
into all the different scenarios that are
running through my head right now, I

52
00:04:31.519 --> 00:04:36.480
just want to point out what in
the Hector Nearest was going on in the

53
00:04:36.560 --> 00:04:43.720
ninth inning. This guy Thiago Vieira. Thiago Vieira, I mean, you

54
00:04:43.759 --> 00:04:47.240
would think he just closed out the
World Series against the Dodgers. You didn't

55
00:04:47.240 --> 00:04:50.959
even get the save. It was
nine to three in the ninth inning and

56
00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:56.639
he struck out Cavin Bigio, the
last guy on the Dodgers bench, and

57
00:04:56.759 --> 00:05:01.600
he's pounding his chest like Hector Nearest
back in twenty nineteen in Philly, and

58
00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:05.560
I was looking at that Dodger bench
to see if there was anybody like next

59
00:05:05.639 --> 00:05:12.519
Monthsey or Kershaw that were staring down
Tiago Vieira. I didn't see that.

60
00:05:12.879 --> 00:05:16.600
Ta Oscar Hernandez was the only one
that was kind of doing that. But

61
00:05:17.079 --> 00:05:21.199
that's something to put in the memory
bank. And if you Dodger players weren't

62
00:05:21.240 --> 00:05:26.920
noticing that, you're welcome, eight
six six nine eight seven two five seventy

63
00:05:27.000 --> 00:05:30.920
is the phone number. A few
Dodger players did not realize when I told

64
00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:34.600
them they've been playing basically five hundred
ball over the course of the last thirty

65
00:05:34.639 --> 00:05:40.319
five thirty seven games, well over
the last thirty seven. Now the Dodgers

66
00:05:40.360 --> 00:05:45.000
are twenty and seventeen, so yes, it's not five hundred ball, it's

67
00:05:45.079 --> 00:05:48.759
three games above five hundred. And
yes, the Dodgers are still well in

68
00:05:48.800 --> 00:05:54.879
control of the NL West, no
doubt about it. But things can go

69
00:05:54.959 --> 00:05:59.160
sideways quickly. The Padres have won
two in a row. They're now forty

70
00:05:59.160 --> 00:06:02.160
eight and forty three. They're six
and a half games back of the Dodgers

71
00:06:02.199 --> 00:06:06.959
in the NLST, and more importantly, the Dodgers should be very thankful.

72
00:06:08.120 --> 00:06:14.439
Heading into this series against the Brewers, they maintain a game lead over Milwaukee

73
00:06:14.800 --> 00:06:18.600
for the number two seed in the
National League playoff picture, because, as

74
00:06:18.639 --> 00:06:25.839
you know, the top two division
winners record wise get that buy in the

75
00:06:25.879 --> 00:06:30.920
first round of the playoffs. The
Dodgers and Braves have been those two teams

76
00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:34.319
the last two years. The Dodgers
are five games back of the Phillies for

77
00:06:34.399 --> 00:06:39.360
the number one seed, while the
Brewers are only a game back of the

78
00:06:39.399 --> 00:06:44.839
Dodgers for that number two seed.
And wouldn't you know it, the Brewers

79
00:06:44.920 --> 00:06:47.319
are coming to town. The Brewers
are coming to town. The Brewers are

80
00:06:47.360 --> 00:06:54.040
coming to town starting tomorrow night for
a big three game series. Tyler Glass

81
00:06:54.120 --> 00:06:59.439
now going up against the newly acquired
starting pitcher from the Tampa Bay Rays,

82
00:06:59.560 --> 00:07:03.399
Aarons, who is two and six
this year with an ERA of five zero

83
00:07:03.560 --> 00:07:08.920
seven. The Brewers were in desperate
need of starting pitching and could not wait

84
00:07:09.399 --> 00:07:15.199
for the July thirtieth trade deadline.
Eight six six nine eighty seven, two

85
00:07:15.240 --> 00:07:18.160
five seventy is the phone number before
we get to the phone calls. I

86
00:07:18.240 --> 00:07:21.680
will say this again. I brought
this up last week, and I'm just

87
00:07:21.759 --> 00:07:29.560
scouring different players teams, And obviously
there are certain teams Andrew Freeman has made

88
00:07:29.600 --> 00:07:33.000
more trades with than others. The
White Sox, the Reds, the Rays

89
00:07:33.040 --> 00:07:40.199
come to mind. And Ken Rosenthal
wrote earlier this week the Dodgers are ideally

90
00:07:40.639 --> 00:07:45.759
are targeting a starting pitcher and also
an outfielder that could play every day,

91
00:07:45.879 --> 00:07:49.720
so they could platoon Andy paj Haz, which was the plan to platoon with

92
00:07:49.800 --> 00:07:56.240
Jason Hayward. According to Rosenthal,
to be able to have an everyday left

93
00:07:56.279 --> 00:07:59.959
fielder or outfielder, I should say, well, the reason why I said

94
00:08:00.120 --> 00:08:03.199
left fielder, I'm looking at Randio
rose Arena. He has not had a

95
00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:07.959
great year. The Dodgers can buy
low on him. He had an awful

96
00:08:09.199 --> 00:08:13.360
first two months of the season.
The Rays are obviously selling players. It

97
00:08:13.519 --> 00:08:18.839
started with Tyler Glass. Now in
the offseason they just traded I wouldn't say

98
00:08:18.879 --> 00:08:24.000
a very good starter, but a
serviceable, above average starter in Aaron Chivale

99
00:08:24.480 --> 00:08:31.399
for the Brewers. And why wouldn't
they stop there? Randio Rose Arena,

100
00:08:31.439 --> 00:08:35.519
who is hitting barely two hundred,
but in the month of June came to

101
00:08:35.559 --> 00:08:39.759
life and almost hit three hundred.
Randio Rose Arena, buy low and you

102
00:08:39.840 --> 00:08:45.480
got a guy that will hit and
extend that lineup and give you maybe some

103
00:08:45.679 --> 00:08:50.600
production and a threat presence at the
bottom of your order. I'm not saying

104
00:08:50.679 --> 00:08:54.639
Randio Rose arena cleanup hitter, but
let's say he's hitting four, five,

105
00:08:54.879 --> 00:09:00.879
six, seven. That can lengthen
your lineup, especially when Mookie Bets and

106
00:09:00.919 --> 00:09:05.639
Max Munsey come back. So that's
just the thought from this point of view.

107
00:09:07.320 --> 00:09:11.919
You know, the Dodgers are going
after a starting pitcher. It's obvious

108
00:09:11.000 --> 00:09:16.159
they need a starter. Ever since
Yamamoto went down there, era as a

109
00:09:16.200 --> 00:09:20.679
staff is or a starting staff is
over five now with what Nac did tonight.

110
00:09:22.600 --> 00:09:26.879
Another guy that I feel like if
the Dodgers can't land Garrett Crochet,

111
00:09:26.240 --> 00:09:31.600
I mean that guy is in quite
some demand. I'm all in on Kevin

112
00:09:31.639 --> 00:09:35.399
Gossman. Bring him back to the
NL West. I was talking to Cavin

113
00:09:35.399 --> 00:09:39.039
Bigio about him. He said he's
an incredible competitor, and you love to

114
00:09:39.080 --> 00:09:43.879
hear that. And he did really
well pitching in the NL West with the

115
00:09:43.919 --> 00:09:46.759
Giants a couple of years ago.
He would be a playoff caliber starter.

116
00:09:48.200 --> 00:09:50.039
Eight six, six, nine,
eighty seven, two five seventy is the

117
00:09:50.080 --> 00:09:54.279
phone number. Let's go out to
Alan West Covina. You're on Dodger Talk

118
00:09:54.320 --> 00:10:01.000
with David vasse Hi al mister rassa
happy for man, just sitting here cookt

119
00:10:01.000 --> 00:10:05.600
and n octopus with my pops,
you know, watching the fireworks in the

120
00:10:05.639 --> 00:10:11.480
front seat. We didn't get to
watch the game. But for the thing

121
00:10:11.519 --> 00:10:15.559
that you mentioned about the dude pounding
his chest at the hand man, that's

122
00:10:15.600 --> 00:10:20.120
something. I hope that that registers
into the whole club because it's like,

123
00:10:20.720 --> 00:10:26.279
dude, like it's like they're asking
for it. But at the same time,

124
00:10:26.600 --> 00:10:31.639
you know that team has knocked you
know, they knocked us out last

125
00:10:31.720 --> 00:10:37.480
year, despite us being the supposed
you know, overlords of the West.

126
00:10:37.960 --> 00:10:41.320
We you know, I hope this
is the catalyst. So this is the

127
00:10:41.399 --> 00:10:45.440
thing. The lots of lights,
the fire dude, and we get at

128
00:10:45.480 --> 00:10:50.240
these and we get at it and
the Brewers Schmooters. I hope tonight's lost.

129
00:10:50.320 --> 00:10:54.320
Dude really really does it, man, because you you said it right

130
00:10:54.320 --> 00:10:58.919
there, man, like regardless if
people noticed that or not, but like,

131
00:10:58.960 --> 00:11:03.320
I hope they do know it.
Student. And yeah, so we're

132
00:11:03.360 --> 00:11:07.960
almost to the mid season. Hopefully
everybody had a good fourth of July.

133
00:11:07.440 --> 00:11:11.240
I mean, despite the last but
let's keep on going. Go Dodgers.

134
00:11:11.399 --> 00:11:15.919
All right, Al, thanks for
the phone call. You heard Jason Hayward

135
00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:18.480
say it. The Dodgers are going
through a season and they are still on

136
00:11:18.559 --> 00:11:22.759
pace to win close to one hundred
games. Last time I checked, they

137
00:11:22.759 --> 00:11:28.039
were on pace to win exactly one
hundred for the fifth straight full season.

138
00:11:28.320 --> 00:11:33.600
They have a lot of injuries,
and they're playing guys that aren't necessarily guys

139
00:11:33.639 --> 00:11:39.000
that you play every day. Gavin
Lux, Chris Taylor, Keith a Hernandez

140
00:11:39.480 --> 00:11:41.440
to a certain extent, Jason Hayward. He had a bad back to start

141
00:11:41.480 --> 00:11:45.679
the year that put him out.
He's hitting close to two hundred, so

142
00:11:45.720 --> 00:11:50.480
who knows how his body has been
feeling recently. So they are going to

143
00:11:50.480 --> 00:11:54.080
get Mookie Betts back probably the first
couple of weeks of August. You hope

144
00:11:54.080 --> 00:12:00.039
Max Munsey is back before then or
close to then. Dave Roberts said to

145
00:12:01.200 --> 00:12:03.720
he's not sure when munths he's coming
back, but he would venture to say

146
00:12:03.759 --> 00:12:09.000
it's not going to be right after. So they have some holes to plug

147
00:12:09.120 --> 00:12:13.960
even with those players, but with
them missing, they have holes to plug.

148
00:12:15.120 --> 00:12:20.000
And like I said, I remember
back in nineteen ninety one, the

149
00:12:20.080 --> 00:12:24.480
Dodgers had a super talented team.
I would say almost as talented as the

150
00:12:24.639 --> 00:12:30.279
twenty twenty four Dodgers. They had
just signed Darryl Strawberry, who was at

151
00:12:30.639 --> 00:12:33.039
the height of his career. He
had twenty eight home runs that year.

152
00:12:33.360 --> 00:12:37.600
They had Hall of Famer Eddie Murray
in their lineup. They had Brett Butler,

153
00:12:37.639 --> 00:12:41.759
they had Mike Soshia, Gary Carter
cal Daniels, a platoon of Lenny

154
00:12:41.799 --> 00:12:46.240
Harris and Mike Sharperson at third base. They were a really good team when

155
00:12:46.279 --> 00:12:50.440
they went into the All Star Break, and by the way, Ramon Martinez

156
00:12:50.519 --> 00:12:52.919
was on his way to win a
Cy Young Award. But the last game

157
00:12:52.960 --> 00:12:56.799
before the All Star Break, I
remember it vividly. It was against the

158
00:12:56.799 --> 00:13:01.679
San Diego Padres. There was a
third baseman that used to play for the

159
00:13:01.720 --> 00:13:07.559
Angels was playing for the Padres at
that season. The last game before the

160
00:13:07.600 --> 00:13:13.799
All Star Break, Ramon Martinez is
dominating again Sunday afternoon line drive off his

161
00:13:13.919 --> 00:13:16.399
pitching shoulder. He did not go
on the injured list, but he was

162
00:13:16.440 --> 00:13:20.000
never the same the second half of
the year. The Dodgers had a nine

163
00:13:20.080 --> 00:13:26.320
game lead over the third place Atlanta
Braves when they started the second half.

164
00:13:28.519 --> 00:13:33.639
The Dodgers lost the division by one
game that year. So I'm not saying

165
00:13:33.679 --> 00:13:37.480
the Dodgers are doing that now or
that's going to happen this year. But

166
00:13:37.960 --> 00:13:41.159
and by the way, the division
back then was much better than what it

167
00:13:41.240 --> 00:13:45.879
is right now. But I'm just
telling you it's not out of the realm

168
00:13:45.879 --> 00:13:50.360
of possibility. If the Dodgers don't
find a way to get better pitching,

169
00:13:50.480 --> 00:13:54.120
better starts, better outings, that
this could turn into a Pennant race in

170
00:13:54.159 --> 00:13:58.799
the second half of the season.
Do I believe the Dodgers are not going

171
00:13:58.840 --> 00:14:01.879
to win the NL West? I
do not. I believe they are going

172
00:14:01.919 --> 00:14:05.759
to win this division in a pretty
good way. Right now six and a

173
00:14:05.799 --> 00:14:09.840
half game lead. I could see
them winning it by that much depending on

174
00:14:09.879 --> 00:14:16.039
what the Padres do. But certainly, you know they have to keep an

175
00:14:16.080 --> 00:14:20.919
eye on the Brewers because do the
Dodgers really want to play in that best

176
00:14:20.919 --> 00:14:24.879
of three wildcard series. I know
there's been complaints about those five day layoffs,

177
00:14:24.919 --> 00:14:31.159
but I don't think that's ideal,
especially with the way the Dodgers starting

178
00:14:31.240 --> 00:14:35.240
rotation is looking currently. Let's go
out to Mission Viejo. Brad, You're

179
00:14:35.279 --> 00:14:39.360
on Dodger Talk with David vasse Hi. Brad Hi, thanks for taking my

180
00:14:39.399 --> 00:14:41.200
call. Yeah, it looks a
kind of mediocre right now. In fact,

181
00:14:41.240 --> 00:14:46.240
the Dodgers have lost both the home
series to the Diamondbacks, and I

182
00:14:46.279 --> 00:14:48.639
guess that they say the last time
the Diamondbacks won the series here prior to

183
00:14:48.679 --> 00:14:54.080
these two series is twenty nineteen.
And do you think they're a better team

184
00:14:54.200 --> 00:14:58.000
right now than the Dodgers, even
though it's just temporary. I do not

185
00:14:58.000 --> 00:15:01.360
believe there are better tea. I
think they're a really tough matchup for the

186
00:15:01.399 --> 00:15:05.840
Dodgers, and they caught the Dodgers
on a downturn right now. You ask

187
00:15:05.919 --> 00:15:09.559
any player, manager, coach,
it's not about the records. It's about

188
00:15:09.600 --> 00:15:13.399
when you catch a team. And
right now, the Dodgers are a wounded

189
00:15:13.440 --> 00:15:18.320
team. They're not playing well,
they're not pitching well, and the Diamondbacks

190
00:15:18.320 --> 00:15:22.639
are playing with a lot of urgency. You heard Stephen Nelson mention the conversation

191
00:15:22.759 --> 00:15:26.279
we had between innings him and Rick
We're talking about the playoff picture and how

192
00:15:26.600 --> 00:15:31.600
so many teams are still in it
in both leagues. But the Diamondbacks are

193
00:15:31.720 --> 00:15:37.159
kind of on the fringe right now
because the players are aware of this.

194
00:15:37.759 --> 00:15:43.879
If they don't start winning here over
the course of the next thirteen games,

195
00:15:43.279 --> 00:15:48.440
they are going to be sellers.
This started a thirteen game stretch. This

196
00:15:48.559 --> 00:15:56.200
series started a thirteen game stretch for
the Diamondbacks, Dodgers, Padres, Braves,

197
00:15:56.320 --> 00:16:00.960
Blue Jays with no days off.
This is a make or break stretch

198
00:16:00.279 --> 00:16:04.559
for the Diamondbacks, and the players
know it, and they do not want

199
00:16:04.679 --> 00:16:08.799
the front office to start selling off
and give up on them and the season.

200
00:16:10.279 --> 00:16:12.519
And so that's why they came to
Dodger Stadium. Playing with a great

201
00:16:12.559 --> 00:16:18.799
sense of urgency. Eight six six, nine eighty seven two five seventy is

202
00:16:18.879 --> 00:16:22.919
the phone number. Speaking of playing
with a great sense of urgency, it

203
00:16:22.960 --> 00:16:27.639
feels like Dodger Killer Christian Walker since
twenty eighteen has had that sense of urgency

204
00:16:27.799 --> 00:16:33.919
and heightened focus every time he plays
the Dodgers. He's been unbelievable playing against

205
00:16:33.960 --> 00:16:40.200
the Dodgers, and certainly this year
on a different level, he has done

206
00:16:40.240 --> 00:16:42.519
things that we have not seen a
player do this year to the Dodgers.

207
00:16:42.919 --> 00:16:49.159
Nine home runs fifteen RBIs against them
in nine games. And I felt compelled

208
00:16:49.519 --> 00:16:56.200
to track down the Dodger Killer before
today's game. We all know how well

209
00:16:56.279 --> 00:17:00.000
you've done here at Dodgers Stadium.
Is it something about the way you see

210
00:17:00.200 --> 00:17:03.799
the ball here? Is it the
heightened atmosphere here at Dodger Stadium? Can

211
00:17:03.839 --> 00:17:07.160
you put your finger on why you've
excelled? No, I mean a little

212
00:17:07.160 --> 00:17:10.880
bit of both, you know,
all of the above. It's you know,

213
00:17:10.920 --> 00:17:14.039
it's definitely a you know, there's
a there's a play to your competition

214
00:17:14.160 --> 00:17:17.759
type type expectation when you come here. We know, you know that the

215
00:17:17.759 --> 00:17:21.359
Dodgers are gonna give us some some
good games. And yeah, it's you

216
00:17:21.359 --> 00:17:23.039
know, I wish there was you
know, a rhyme or reason to it.

217
00:17:23.039 --> 00:17:26.599
It's just I think it's just one
of those funny baseball stats. When

218
00:17:26.640 --> 00:17:30.839
you go inside that batter's box last
night, obviously you're locked in. Is

219
00:17:30.880 --> 00:17:36.200
there a feel, like you can
use an analogy sort of like Klay Thompson

220
00:17:36.319 --> 00:17:40.799
or Steph Curry when they're making threes
from half court? Is there that same

221
00:17:40.920 --> 00:17:42.519
feel in the batter's box for a
hitter? I know, I know,

222
00:17:42.880 --> 00:17:45.960
you know. One major difference that
comes to mind is is just the size

223
00:17:47.000 --> 00:17:49.200
of the park. Not that this
is like a small park by any means,

224
00:17:49.279 --> 00:17:53.519
but playing at Chase. You know, I hit a ball last week

225
00:17:53.559 --> 00:17:56.319
that was a four hundred and twenty
foot double, So like wow, right,

226
00:17:56.359 --> 00:18:00.599
Like sometimes it's it's a little daunting
feeling like you have to hit the

227
00:18:00.640 --> 00:18:03.759
ball so hard and so far to
get rewarded there at Chase sometimes, And

228
00:18:04.079 --> 00:18:07.240
you know, there's there's other pros
that come with it. There's a lot

229
00:18:07.240 --> 00:18:08.680
of doubles, there's a lot of
triples to be had in that big outfield.

230
00:18:08.680 --> 00:18:12.200
But you know, I would say
maybe maybe it takes a little bit

231
00:18:12.200 --> 00:18:15.720
of effort level out where, you
know, maybe on that like eighty ninety

232
00:18:15.720 --> 00:18:19.759
percent effort level and it's maybe a
little bit more efficient and just trusting that

233
00:18:19.799 --> 00:18:22.400
you know, if I put a
good swing on it and put the ball

234
00:18:22.400 --> 00:18:25.279
in the barrel, I can be
rewarded for it. So you have twenty

235
00:18:25.319 --> 00:18:27.559
home runs this year? Are you
telling us your short change playing in what

236
00:18:29.039 --> 00:18:33.400
hitters consider a hitters ballpark? No, you're talking about Chase. Yeah,

237
00:18:33.480 --> 00:18:37.160
Yeah, that's not a hitters' ballpark
anymore. I think I think five or

238
00:18:37.200 --> 00:18:41.359
six years ago it definitely was.
But I think since you know, the

239
00:18:41.599 --> 00:18:44.599
humidors have been added, and it
seems like the league is trying to regulate

240
00:18:44.880 --> 00:18:47.920
how the ball, how the ball
flies around the league. You know,

241
00:18:47.960 --> 00:18:49.440
there's still some parks that it's it's
still a good place to hit, right,

242
00:18:49.480 --> 00:18:52.640
Like Cincinnati comes to mind, Colorado
comes to mind, stuff like that.

243
00:18:52.759 --> 00:18:56.839
But yeah, for whatever reason,
you know, I just I enjoy,

244
00:18:56.279 --> 00:19:00.920
I enjoy competing at Dodger Stadium.
All right. There he is Dodger

245
00:19:00.039 --> 00:19:04.240
killer, Christian Walker. He's let
his bat do the talking this year and

246
00:19:04.319 --> 00:19:08.480
since twenty eighteen. But that's what
he sounds like, that's what he feels

247
00:19:08.519 --> 00:19:14.200
and gave us some insight on why
he does so well here, especially at

248
00:19:14.240 --> 00:19:18.240
Dodgers Stadium. And I will say
this, there's only one other player that

249
00:19:18.359 --> 00:19:25.400
I remember doing this much damage against
the Dodgers during my time of watching Dodger

250
00:19:25.440 --> 00:19:29.599
baseball my entire life, and that
was a guy by the name of Jim

251
00:19:29.839 --> 00:19:36.119
Eisenreich. Jim Eisenreich was a Dodger
killer from the early nineties, and even

252
00:19:36.119 --> 00:19:37.799
when he got traded to the Dodgers, he was so bad. He was

253
00:19:37.839 --> 00:19:42.440
a Dodger killer when he was wearing
the uniform. Jim Eisenreich, in sixty

254
00:19:42.519 --> 00:19:48.039
three career games against the Dodgers,
hit four h five and had an OPS

255
00:19:48.200 --> 00:19:56.119
of over one thousand. Christian Walker
now is in Jim eisenreich territory as a

256
00:19:56.200 --> 00:19:59.960
Dodger killer. And by the way, Eisenreich, he was on the march

257
00:20:00.039 --> 00:20:03.160
Orlins when Mike Piazza was traded there
and was part of that trade. And

258
00:20:03.200 --> 00:20:07.799
when he came to the Dodgers,
he did not help them win many games,

259
00:20:07.000 --> 00:20:11.759
So he was a Dodger killer even
wearing their uniform. But Christian Walker

260
00:20:11.079 --> 00:20:15.799
and Jim eisen Reich in the last
thirty years go down as a Dodger killer,

261
00:20:17.079 --> 00:20:21.640
and eisen Reich was not a power
hitter like Walker. Walker has seventeen

262
00:20:21.759 --> 00:20:26.759
nineteen career home runs against the Dodgers. Eisenwreich did it with, you know,

263
00:20:26.960 --> 00:20:32.200
just paper cuts over and over again, with forty six RBIs and an

264
00:20:32.200 --> 00:20:37.519
OPS of over one thousand and sixty
three career games. And he wasn't even

265
00:20:37.559 --> 00:20:41.559
playing in the same division. He
was mostly playing in the NL East with

266
00:20:41.640 --> 00:20:47.799
the Phillies and Marlins. But Jim
eisen Reich and Christian Walker certainly Dodger killers.

267
00:20:48.079 --> 00:20:51.440
Eight six, six, nine eighty
seven, two five seventy is the

268
00:20:51.480 --> 00:20:55.400
phone number we're gonna take a time
out here from Dodgers Stadium. When we

269
00:20:55.519 --> 00:21:00.400
continue, Jose Mota will check in, and also you will hear from Clayton

270
00:21:00.480 --> 00:21:03.599
Kershaw. He threw a bullpen session
on fourth of July. You'll hear what

271
00:21:03.640 --> 00:21:07.920
he had to say about it.
When't we continue. After the Diamondbacks scored

272
00:21:07.960 --> 00:21:12.599
twenty one runs in the last two
games to beat the Dodgers nine to three

Tom with Damn mass Send. Gotta be

276
00:21:33.759 --> 00:21:38.000
careful with Jock Peterson on this three
to one. Peterson swings and drives one

277
00:21:38.119 --> 00:21:44.160
right field hit deep at the wall. Heyward. He leaves up and that

278
00:21:44.319 --> 00:21:52.160
ball is gone. October in July
at Dodgers Stadium. Unfortunately, he's not

279
00:21:52.240 --> 00:21:57.680
wearing the Dodger uniform anymore. Jack
Peterson with the second home run of the

280
00:21:57.759 --> 00:22:03.279
series for him in this three game
set that the Diamondbacks won. The last

281
00:22:03.319 --> 00:22:07.079
two he was part of back to
back home runs in the first inning with

282
00:22:07.200 --> 00:22:11.440
Christian Walker. The Diamondbacks tonight on
the fourth of July beat the Dodgers nine

283
00:22:11.480 --> 00:22:17.519
to three. Daniels Jewelers is the

time to go around the Horn with Jose

287
00:22:33.720 --> 00:22:37.920
Mota. All right, Jose Mota, I hope you got to enjoy fireworks

288
00:22:38.000 --> 00:22:42.839
somewhere, whether it be at Dodgers
Stadium or on your drive home. Java

289
00:22:44.039 --> 00:22:47.079
was great. I have to see
the spectacle going on everywhere pretty much.

290
00:22:47.640 --> 00:22:49.720
Theres some small too, but you
know what is a great celebration. And

291
00:22:51.200 --> 00:22:56.039
again, Happy Birthday America. Okay, Jose. The fireworks were off the

292
00:22:56.079 --> 00:23:00.200
bat of Christian Walker again tonight.
The Dodgers try to pitchim differently, it

293
00:23:00.240 --> 00:23:07.440
did not matter two home runs tonight
for Walker. He obviously made history and

294
00:23:07.559 --> 00:23:11.880
like I said, he is certainly
the number one Dodger killer that I can

295
00:23:11.960 --> 00:23:17.480
remember, outside of Jim Eisenreich.
Well, if they try to pitch him

296
00:23:17.480 --> 00:23:22.039
differently, he knew exactly where to
sit on right I mean guys like that

297
00:23:22.039 --> 00:23:26.799
that come in and do so much
damage with one team have done their homework

298
00:23:26.839 --> 00:23:29.720
and understand that if they try to
go something different. Are you going to

299
00:23:29.759 --> 00:23:32.920
do is say, Hey, somebody's
going to throw it fastball somewhere at some

300
00:23:33.000 --> 00:23:34.480
point in some count. But if
I see it, I'm not going to

301
00:23:34.519 --> 00:23:38.319
miss it out. Consider this too. His swings are not wild swings.

302
00:23:38.319 --> 00:23:41.920
They're pretty control swings. You watch
batting practice, he does this one droe

303
00:23:41.960 --> 00:23:45.480
hoo, no stride, or I
might wonder he waits until the last minute

304
00:23:45.519 --> 00:23:48.079
to make, you know, take
a swing, But you know, in

305
00:23:48.119 --> 00:23:52.839
short with him, I'm glad he
he's not going to be here anymore now.

306
00:23:53.880 --> 00:23:56.759
And then on top of that day, he's going to be a free

307
00:23:56.759 --> 00:24:00.119
agent at age thirty three that he's
playing in and to me, there's no

308
00:24:00.200 --> 00:24:03.279
better face for the DBACS, and
he should be a something they're gonna have

309
00:24:03.359 --> 00:24:07.039
to consider and stretch out their dollars
because he belongs there, no doubt about

310
00:24:07.079 --> 00:24:11.440
it. Twenty two home runs now, that's the most by any major league

311
00:24:11.440 --> 00:24:15.000
first baseman this season, and I
thought in the third inning when he hit

312
00:24:15.039 --> 00:24:18.880
that two run home run off of
Landon Knack, I know we played the

313
00:24:18.880 --> 00:24:22.680
home run from Jock Peterson, but
I thought the key at bat in that

314
00:24:22.759 --> 00:24:27.400
inning was with two outs and Landon
Knack let Jock Peterson off the hook.

315
00:24:27.680 --> 00:24:32.839
All of a sudden you don't have
first base open, the inning is extended,

316
00:24:33.039 --> 00:24:37.279
and now Christian Walker is back up
there. Save There are so many

317
00:24:37.480 --> 00:24:41.839
little situations that change an inning and
then change your sequence about what you're gonna

318
00:24:41.880 --> 00:24:44.200
do with the next batter. And
it takes one at bat, It takes

319
00:24:44.200 --> 00:24:47.079
one one walk for you to go, well, now, I want to

320
00:24:47.079 --> 00:24:51.880
have that kind of freedom. But
you were sitting there with Clayton Kershel when

321
00:24:51.880 --> 00:24:55.920
he was talking about he has some
ideas about what to do against Frisher Walker

322
00:24:55.960 --> 00:24:59.519
that he could be taking care of
inside. But you know, for a

323
00:24:59.559 --> 00:25:02.759
guy lie the neck, obviously he's
not a command guy. He's a guy

324
00:25:02.759 --> 00:25:04.799
that's still trying to get his feet
in the big leagues. And some of

325
00:25:04.799 --> 00:25:07.920
those pitches were just not pictures that
you're gonna make to a guy who is

326
00:25:07.960 --> 00:25:11.680
that hot. And then if you
get too far out and go to the

327
00:25:11.640 --> 00:25:15.359
extroup, say hey, don't get
him anything good, then you're asking him

328
00:25:15.400 --> 00:25:18.440
to not throw strikes. You know, the one thing these young Dodger pitchers

329
00:25:18.480 --> 00:25:21.799
do is they do through a lot
of strikes. What he's gonna learn,

330
00:25:21.839 --> 00:25:23.319
though, is quality strikes matter a
whole lot on this level, and it

331
00:25:23.359 --> 00:25:26.680
could be three or six inches difference
where a guy like Walker cannot hurt you.

332
00:25:27.599 --> 00:25:33.319
Jose Mota is joining us after the
Diamondbacks beat the Dodgers tonight nine to

333
00:25:33.359 --> 00:25:37.799
three at Dodgers Stadium. When you
hear Jason Hayward talk after the game,

334
00:25:38.000 --> 00:25:42.799
Jose, are you getting the same
sense that I was? It doesn't sound

335
00:25:42.880 --> 00:25:47.480
good for his left knee. Yeah, it doesn't. You know when he

336
00:25:47.519 --> 00:25:51.599
talked about the adrenaline wore off that
he's starting to feel it. That just

337
00:25:51.799 --> 00:25:56.279
is very revealing because athletes will tell
you that when the adrenaline's going in your

338
00:25:56.440 --> 00:25:59.160
game, there are a lot of
things you don't feel. You continue,

339
00:25:59.279 --> 00:26:00.599
you know, pump yours up and
so I gotta be ready for this game.

340
00:26:00.640 --> 00:26:04.559
But things that happened very quickly,
and we talk about imaging and somebody

341
00:26:04.559 --> 00:26:08.240
that understands his body. He's a
big man. There's a lot of weight

342
00:26:08.240 --> 00:26:11.599
when he jumps and comes down,
So to me, it is concerning.

343
00:26:11.680 --> 00:26:15.000
So you could out up opportunities for
somebody else and last time we're talking about

344
00:26:15.079 --> 00:26:18.839
Argos, and Bargos again comes through
today and gives you a pretty good at

345
00:26:18.839 --> 00:26:21.799
bat. So you don't want to
lose a guy like Hey, what would

346
00:26:21.839 --> 00:26:23.759
because he means a whole lot to
here. He's not producing right now,

347
00:26:23.799 --> 00:26:29.880
so we cannot hide that. But
hopefully if the worst comes and he's under

348
00:26:29.920 --> 00:26:33.200
Iyel, there's some good options out
there because this offense needs a spark.

349
00:26:33.359 --> 00:26:40.000
This series is going to provoke I
think changes, and there's no way they

350
00:26:40.039 --> 00:26:44.839
can justify this type of offense even
without Mookie Besz and Max Munsey to score

351
00:26:45.000 --> 00:26:48.559
in one inning in their last seventeen
innings, that's something that it just doesn't

352
00:26:48.599 --> 00:26:52.200
go very well, no doubt,
two of their last seventeen for the Dodgers.

353
00:26:52.240 --> 00:26:56.200
And they have a big series now
Jose against the Milwaukee Brewers. I've

354
00:26:56.279 --> 00:27:02.559
laid out the playoff scenarios so far. The Brewers are sending out their newest

355
00:27:02.599 --> 00:27:07.119
shiny toy, Aaron Savoliv that they
required from the Rays. The Dodgers are

356
00:27:07.160 --> 00:27:11.440
sending out their best starter. So
it kind of feels like both these teams

357
00:27:11.799 --> 00:27:15.319
want to send out their best and
want to win this series well, and

358
00:27:15.400 --> 00:27:18.359
the Brewers an urgency. I mean
they know that they're a little short on

359
00:27:18.400 --> 00:27:21.960
their pitching staff. Dallas Kaiko is
going to be seen around here to if

360
00:27:22.240 --> 00:27:23.960
things lined up the way they are, so that's what you have to do.

361
00:27:25.039 --> 00:27:26.799
I mean they've been proactive. Dallas
Kaigo got pulled out of the Triple

362
00:27:26.880 --> 00:27:30.000
A team in Tacoma is because they
didn't want to wait till the very end

363
00:27:30.000 --> 00:27:33.240
somebody else go out there and take
it. And they're counting on him as

364
00:27:33.279 --> 00:27:36.519
experience and what they saw, at
least from the way he pitched Triple A

365
00:27:36.599 --> 00:27:37.960
to go out there and pick them
up. But this series is also going

366
00:27:38.000 --> 00:27:42.079
to be one where it's going to
be apart revealing because it's like the Dodgers

367
00:27:42.079 --> 00:27:47.000
need to find out why the Brewers
are still where they're at in that division,

368
00:27:47.519 --> 00:27:51.920
and then what the DBACS posts against
the Dodgers are things a team are

369
00:27:51.920 --> 00:27:56.279
taking notice of, knowing that if
you take care obviously the first four of

370
00:27:56.319 --> 00:27:59.119
the lineup for a first final lineup, there's some holes in which you can

371
00:27:59.160 --> 00:28:02.519
go out there navigate and and Pat
Murph, I'm quite sure he you know

372
00:28:02.559 --> 00:28:04.480
at the Helm now wants to show
Dave Roberts at the he can do the

373
00:28:04.559 --> 00:28:10.440
job and know that his team is
still capable enough as grinders to go out

374
00:28:10.480 --> 00:28:15.480
and you know, neutralize You What
is it about the Brewers and Reds that

375
00:28:15.720 --> 00:28:19.319
they have a way to pick out
some of the best local kids from southern

376
00:28:19.319 --> 00:28:22.839
California. Part of the reason why
the Brewers are so good a lot of

377
00:28:22.839 --> 00:28:27.200
their young players are out of Southern
California. Joey, Joey Ortiz. Their

378
00:28:27.319 --> 00:28:33.759
rookie sensation is from the Ventura area
scouting, and certainly where you are able

379
00:28:33.799 --> 00:28:37.119
to draft has a lot to do
with that. Dave. You know very

380
00:28:37.119 --> 00:28:41.920
well that you know there are certain
teams that are going to miss a lot

381
00:28:41.920 --> 00:28:45.759
of the local kids because of where
you draft. But there's teams that heavily

382
00:28:45.880 --> 00:28:49.079
focus on certain areas in which they
go out there and execute and find some

383
00:28:49.240 --> 00:28:53.640
gems. Sometimes they find are not
the guys that everybody or every scout is

384
00:28:53.680 --> 00:28:56.759
following. But the Brewers through this, through the years have done a very

385
00:28:56.759 --> 00:29:00.279
fine job finding those gyms here in
southern calif One and hopefully those gyms will

386
00:29:00.279 --> 00:29:04.039
not come here and some damage against
the LA team. Hey goes all the

387
00:29:04.119 --> 00:29:07.559
way back to Robin. You out
of tap High School in Woodland Hills.

388
00:29:07.880 --> 00:29:11.240
Come on, you have to go
Thereic Hall, come on, Hey,

389
00:29:11.279 --> 00:29:15.960
he's the most famous Brewer and valley
guy, Robin Yount. He's an athel

390
00:29:17.039 --> 00:29:19.799
standing. Oh what a player,
short stop outfield, go glover here and

391
00:29:19.799 --> 00:29:23.880
there. RBI got home runs and
he made that team tremendous when he was

392
00:29:23.880 --> 00:29:27.200
flying, for sure, and he
was the face and got the go to

393
00:29:27.319 --> 00:29:32.920
guy in tough situations. The great
Robin You all right, Jose Moda,

394
00:29:33.000 --> 00:29:36.640
We'll see you out here tomorrow night. Should be a fun series between the

395
00:29:36.680 --> 00:29:38.960
Dodgers and Brewers. Hey, Tyler
Glaff. Now, first time he's had

396
00:29:38.960 --> 00:29:42.519
to rebound from something like what happened
with him San Francisco as a Dodger.

397
00:29:42.559 --> 00:29:45.720
So time now to show where you
are number one. Yeah, let's see

398
00:29:45.720 --> 00:29:48.920
that. Let's see how he bounces
back from adversity, no doubt about it.

399
00:29:49.440 --> 00:29:52.480
Can't wait. All right, Jose, thanks for the time. There

400
00:29:52.519 --> 00:29:57.359
he goes Jose Mota part of the
Dodgers Spanish radio broadcast with Pepe and Inguaz

401
00:29:57.720 --> 00:30:04.200
and the Great for Valenzuela. It
was great that Dodgers Stadium recognized our own

402
00:30:04.240 --> 00:30:08.720
Rick Monday tonight during the game,
they showed the clip of him saving the

403
00:30:08.799 --> 00:30:15.839
flag back in nineteen seventy six.
Pretty fitting that he saved it that year

404
00:30:15.880 --> 00:30:19.359
and then the following season he was
a Dodger, so very cool to see

405
00:30:19.400 --> 00:30:25.400
that and him being recognized on our
nation's Independence Day. The Dodgers always do

406
00:30:25.440 --> 00:30:27.519
a great job on the fourth of
July. But we hope to see you

407
00:30:27.559 --> 00:30:33.960
out here for a big three game
series against the Milwaukee Brewers. Hopefully Jason

408
00:30:33.000 --> 00:30:38.480
Hayward's injury is not as bad as
you know, we kind of feel right

409
00:30:38.519 --> 00:30:42.759
now with the way he was describing
the pain on the outside of his left

410
00:30:42.799 --> 00:30:48.599
knee as far as injuries go.
Dave Roberts also said he's not that optimistic

411
00:30:48.680 --> 00:30:53.240
that Max Munsey is going to return
immediately after the All Star breaks, so

412
00:30:53.960 --> 00:30:57.599
we'll see when Munsey comes back.
So they're without Munsey for a while.

413
00:30:57.960 --> 00:31:02.359
And also Clayton Kershaw, who had
a little bump in the road and his

414
00:31:02.599 --> 00:31:08.960
comeback from left shoulder surgery today through
a bullpen session for the first time since

415
00:31:10.359 --> 00:31:14.880
that little hiccup in the road,
and it was a thirty pitch bullpen session.

416
00:31:14.920 --> 00:31:18.119
You sit. He threw the fastball, the slider, the curveball,

417
00:31:18.440 --> 00:31:21.799
And here's what he said when we
caught up with him after it was all

418
00:31:21.839 --> 00:31:23.440
said and done. You know,
it doesn't really matter how good you do

419
00:31:23.440 --> 00:31:26.000
out there. It all matters.
It's how you do when the lights come

420
00:31:26.039 --> 00:31:30.039
on. So I really just wanted
to check a box today without giving away

421
00:31:30.319 --> 00:31:34.839
too much. During this whole period
of time, is there when we do

422
00:31:34.920 --> 00:31:38.759
see you pitch? Is there new
pitches that we may see that you unveiled

423
00:31:38.880 --> 00:31:42.240
during this period of time. Have
you had a chance to mess around with

424
00:31:42.359 --> 00:31:45.759
new things? I mean, I
through some change ups in that lot we

425
00:31:45.920 --> 00:31:49.519
have started Rancho that. I mean, they're pretty decent results. So yeah,

426
00:31:49.960 --> 00:31:52.920
at the end of the day,
I really don't know, you know,

427
00:31:52.960 --> 00:31:55.720
I think when you get out there, stuff changes, obviously, so

428
00:31:56.000 --> 00:31:59.319
you kind of rely on what you've
been good at in the past. But

429
00:31:59.799 --> 00:32:01.160
it nice to be able to throw
a change it every once in a while.

430
00:32:01.880 --> 00:32:06.519
But I really don't know. We'll
see Oay, have any answers for

431
00:32:06.599 --> 00:32:10.480
Christian Walker that you could share.
I've got some thoughts. Yeah, not

432
00:32:10.599 --> 00:32:15.000
for for our guys, not for
you though. Yeah. Yeah, not

433
00:32:15.000 --> 00:32:20.880
sure if he shared that with Landon
Nak because Christian Walker hit two home runs

434
00:32:20.880 --> 00:32:27.119
tonight, So whatever thoughts he had
maybe not executed tonight. But Christian Walker

435
00:32:27.240 --> 00:32:31.920
continued his reputation as public Enemy Number
one here in Los Angeles with two more

436
00:32:32.039 --> 00:32:37.920
home runs against the Dodgers to help
Arizona beat the Dodgers nine to three and

437
00:32:37.960 --> 00:32:42.680
score twenty one runs in the last
two games of this series, and the

438
00:32:42.720 --> 00:32:49.000
Dodger pitching staff in the last four
games have allowed thirty eight runs. Hopefully

439
00:32:49.079 --> 00:32:53.759
Tyler Glass now can stop the bleeding
tomorrow against the Brewers. Dave Roberts did

440
00:32:53.799 --> 00:32:59.559
also say Bobby Miller is not going
to start on four days rest on Sunday,

441
00:32:59.599 --> 00:33:05.279
there hold him back for the Philly
series which begins on Tuesday, meaning

442
00:33:05.400 --> 00:33:08.000
they need a starter. And I
find it very hard to believe that they

443
00:33:08.039 --> 00:33:13.480
are going to go to a straight
bullpen game, considering how much the bullpen

444
00:33:13.519 --> 00:33:17.319
has been taxed. Ryan Yarborough always
seems to be part of these type of

445
00:33:17.359 --> 00:33:22.359
games, and Dave Roberts hinted they
may call somebody up for a spot start.

446
00:33:23.440 --> 00:33:28.960
The one option that stands out to
me the most is Justin Robleski,

447
00:33:29.400 --> 00:33:35.200
who made thirteen starts in Tulsa and
was just recently promoted to Oklahoma City.

448
00:33:35.480 --> 00:33:39.440
He has made two starts there,
so he may be an option to piggyback

449
00:33:39.480 --> 00:33:44.440
with Ryan Yarborough. So we'll see
what direction the Dodgers go on Sunday.

450
00:33:44.519 --> 00:33:49.079
But they have to take care of
business tomorrow night with Tyler Glass now on

451
00:33:49.119 --> 00:33:53.079
the mound. As I mentioned,
the Brewers are sending out their newly acquired

452
00:33:53.160 --> 00:33:58.920
starter, Aaron Savallee, who is
making his first start with the Brewers.

453
00:33:59.240 --> 00:34:02.119
He was two and six with an
ERA of five zero seven with the Rays

454
00:34:02.480 --> 00:34:07.239
and Tyler Glass noow this year eight
and five with an ERA of three twenty

455
00:34:07.280 --> 00:34:10.679
three. Jose Motor brought up a
great point. Let's see how Glass now

456
00:34:10.760 --> 00:34:16.639
bounces back from maybe his worst start
as a Dodger back at Oracle Park last

457
00:34:16.679 --> 00:34:22.360
weekend Morongo Casino. Dodgers on Deck
begins at six o'clock tomorrow with first pitch

458
00:34:22.559 --> 00:34:27.800
at seven ten. That'll do it
for us tonight on Dodger Talk. Thanks

459
00:34:27.800 --> 00:34:31.079
to Colin Yee back at our Burbank
Studios, Thanks to Dwayne McDonald out here

460
00:34:31.119 --> 00:34:36.039

iHeartRadio app once again. The final
score tonight from Dodgers Stadium. The Diamondbacks

464
00:34:50.440 --> 00:34:53.280
defeat the Dodgers nine to three.
