And now your voice for Dodger 3 00:00:10.960 --> 00:00:18.239 Talk. Like back, David Vasse. We are live at Oracle Park in 4 00:00:18.320 --> 00:00:24.480 San Francisco after Brent Wisley walks the Giants off with a two run home run 5 00:00:24.519 --> 00:00:29.199 off of Blake Trining in the bottom of the ninth inning to give the Giants 6 00:00:29.239 --> 00:00:34.520 a five to three victory in Game one of this three game series in San 7 00:00:34.560 --> 00:00:40.640 Francisco. We're with you until eleven o'clock tonight from Oracle Park in San Francisco. 8 00:00:41.079 --> 00:00:44.200 We have phone lines open at eight six, six, nine eighty seven, 9 00:00:44.320 --> 00:00:48.240 two five seventy. I did have a chance to talk to Max Munsey 10 00:00:48.399 --> 00:00:52.240 today, so we'll give you an update on Monsey and where he's at in 11 00:00:52.320 --> 00:00:57.560 his rehab. It was a pleasant surprise to see him here at Oracle Park 12 00:00:57.640 --> 00:01:02.320 because he did not travel with the Dodgers to Chicago and he met them here, 13 00:01:02.399 --> 00:01:06.200 so that means things are progressing in the right direction. I'll give you 14 00:01:06.239 --> 00:01:10.439 full details coming up a little bit later in the show. Also, we 15 00:01:10.560 --> 00:01:18.280 had a chance to speak to the man that saved show Aotani's dental work and 16 00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:23.879 also probably saved the Dodgers season in some ways. Javier Herrera, who is 17 00:01:25.079 --> 00:01:30.560 the most famous bat boy slash club house attendant in Major League Baseball. Today 18 00:01:30.920 --> 00:01:36.840 we had a chance to catch up with Javier before he met the Japanese media 19 00:01:36.959 --> 00:01:42.560 man a big media day for Javier Herrera. So we'll let you hear some 20 00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:46.760 of that conversation, and also we'll get to some mind numbing trade talk. 21 00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:51.120 But let's go back to this game. Obviously, you know Blake Trenton did 22 00:01:51.159 --> 00:01:56.959 not execute a slider and Brett Weisley did not miss it. Tip your hat 23 00:01:57.040 --> 00:02:00.480 to Weisley, who did not miss it in a four hundred foot two run 24 00:02:00.560 --> 00:02:05.760 walk off home run. But tip your hat to the Dodgers Andy Pohz, 25 00:02:06.159 --> 00:02:10.800 who, as you heard Jose Moda described, he saw Pajz take exception to 26 00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:16.439 Camillo Duval throwing a pitch inside and a little stare down from the Dodgers rookie 27 00:02:16.439 --> 00:02:23.280 center fielder out towards the Giant's closer with a five era and then he attacked 28 00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:30.319 another fastball and hit it for a triple because Halio Ramos closed his glove before 29 00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:34.639 he had it in it and Pajes was off to the races. Dodgers tie 30 00:02:34.680 --> 00:02:37.719 the score in the ninth inning, and you feel like they have all the 31 00:02:37.759 --> 00:02:43.199 momentum in the world. I actually thought the Dodgers had a golden opportunity to 32 00:02:43.319 --> 00:02:46.479 tie this game, or at least come close to time this game. In 33 00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:52.199 the top of the eighth inning, after show Hao Tani led off the eighth 34 00:02:52.400 --> 00:02:55.479 with a base hit, he beat Taylor Rodgers to the bag. He was 35 00:02:55.520 --> 00:03:00.520 not going to beat Otani to the bag. So you had show Hao at 36 00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:06.400 first base with one out and Freddy Freeman at the plate. Freddy's a contact 37 00:03:06.439 --> 00:03:09.800 guy. He's the most professional hitter you can find, probably in all a 38 00:03:09.879 --> 00:03:15.240 Major League baseball or at least this side of Luisa Rise. Freddie Freeman at 39 00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:20.800 the plate, Otani at first base with a lot of speed. Why aren't 40 00:03:20.800 --> 00:03:24.639 the Dodgers putting show Hey Otani emotion right there? Down a run against Taylor 41 00:03:24.719 --> 00:03:30.599 Rodgers, who is not delivering the pitch to the plate that quickly, and 42 00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:35.639 you start to get the infielders moving, creating more holes. And where Freddy 43 00:03:35.800 --> 00:03:39.800 hit his ground ball to the second baseman. If Otani's in motion, he 44 00:03:40.039 --> 00:03:46.240 probably safe. At second base, So I thought that was a situation to 45 00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:50.680 start putting Otani in motion in the top of the eighth inning. As far 46 00:03:50.719 --> 00:03:53.680 as taking landon Knack out with two outs in the fifth inning, I understand 47 00:03:53.680 --> 00:04:00.280 the Dodgers process of taking a pitcher out when they haven't proven enough in the 48 00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:04.759 big leagues out after the third time through the order. But landon Neck he 49 00:04:05.879 --> 00:04:11.400 had Jorge Solaire down in the count O two, and I feel like he 50 00:04:11.520 --> 00:04:17.279 started to overthrow and try to do too much because he saw Anthony Banda warming 51 00:04:17.399 --> 00:04:21.720 up, meaning he knew that Solaire was going to be his last hitter, 52 00:04:21.839 --> 00:04:27.879 because they were going to bring in Anthony Banda to face Lamontway Junior. And 53 00:04:27.959 --> 00:04:30.959 look, I understand the general numbers, third time through the order, it 54 00:04:31.079 --> 00:04:35.800 favors the hitter. But if you look at landon Neck in just five starts 55 00:04:35.920 --> 00:04:43.040 coming into tonight, he has held hitters one for twelve third time through the 56 00:04:43.199 --> 00:04:47.439 order. And I thought, you know, considering the big lead the Dodgers 57 00:04:47.519 --> 00:04:51.399 have, considering they were still up er run, why not give him a 58 00:04:51.480 --> 00:04:59.160 chance to afford himself an opportunity for the win in San Francisco. But look, 59 00:04:59.240 --> 00:05:02.240 it worked out and I'm not second guessing Dave Roberts. I was turning 60 00:05:02.279 --> 00:05:05.680 to my left, turning to the right, wondering, Hey, I understand 61 00:05:05.720 --> 00:05:09.639 all this, but why not give him a chance to show what he could 62 00:05:09.680 --> 00:05:15.120 do in this position? And you know, Daniel Hudson gave up the go 63 00:05:15.160 --> 00:05:19.240 ahead to run home run to Matt Chapman. Does that happen if he doesn't 64 00:05:19.639 --> 00:05:23.920 take knack out at that point in time? I don't know. That's a 65 00:05:23.959 --> 00:05:27.920 lot of what ifs. The whole chest pieces move a lot differently, but 66 00:05:28.759 --> 00:05:32.279 I understand the whole third time through the order. But I also want to 67 00:05:32.319 --> 00:05:40.560 credit Dave Roberts because he is an extension of the Dodgers' philosophical beliefs. When 68 00:05:40.560 --> 00:05:45.000 it comes to that, he's an extension of that and he has not deviated 69 00:05:45.079 --> 00:05:49.399 from that process. And let's not forget Dave Roberts allowed Gavin Stone to throw 70 00:05:49.560 --> 00:05:55.360 a complete game shutout in Chicago on Wednesday night. But look, I covered 71 00:05:55.399 --> 00:06:00.879 the Lakers when Phil Jackson coached them. Phil Jackson is what an eleven time 72 00:06:00.279 --> 00:06:05.439 NBA World champion coach. That doesn't mean he's above asking the question, why 73 00:06:05.480 --> 00:06:11.439 did you do this? That's all I'm asking why that's not an attack on 74 00:06:11.519 --> 00:06:16.319 anybody. Let's head downstairs right now to hear from Land and Neck because he 75 00:06:16.399 --> 00:06:19.519 pitched really well. And then we'll get to Dave Roberts and Blake Tringing. 76 00:06:20.079 --> 00:06:23.240 I feel I feel like at the very beginning of the game, my throw 77 00:06:23.319 --> 00:06:25.439 was like a little off. We were we were still making pitches when we 78 00:06:25.480 --> 00:06:27.959 need to, but I was just a little off. And then kind of 79 00:06:27.959 --> 00:06:29.920 got my curve ball going a little bit, and I think that kind of 80 00:06:29.959 --> 00:06:32.639 like locked in the rest of the throw, and so after that, like 81 00:06:32.879 --> 00:06:36.160 things felt much much easier. And then yeah, fifth inning, you know, 82 00:06:38.360 --> 00:06:43.120 leave one over the plate obviously sometimes it's gonna happen. And then a 83 00:06:43.120 --> 00:06:46.600 couple of singles, but you know, stuff, stuff all good. Dave 84 00:06:46.600 --> 00:06:49.079 said ahead of your adding that the focus was just going as long as you 85 00:06:49.160 --> 00:06:51.079 can, as hard as you can. How do you just kind of manage 86 00:06:51.079 --> 00:06:54.759 yourself? I guess when that's kind of what's being told to you and you're 87 00:06:54.759 --> 00:06:57.439 trying to kind of either get deep into the game things like that, I 88 00:06:57.480 --> 00:07:00.240 mean, you just kind of have to continue to go all out until it's 89 00:07:00.279 --> 00:07:02.079 your time to come out and make sure that you're kind of going all out 90 00:07:02.120 --> 00:07:05.279 every pitch because I mean, yeah again, like you don't know when your 91 00:07:05.360 --> 00:07:08.879 last pitch is, so I mean one hundred percent just trying to go all 92 00:07:08.879 --> 00:07:11.759 out the entire time and make every pitch like it's going to be your last 93 00:07:11.759 --> 00:07:14.519 one and just keep on going. Really trying to go with that home run 94 00:07:14.560 --> 00:07:16.120 pitch. I was trying to go down in a way and just kind of 95 00:07:16.199 --> 00:07:18.759 leaked a little up middle a little bit and just kind of came back on 96 00:07:18.800 --> 00:07:23.079 me. What do you has sort of allowed you to sort of know, 97 00:07:23.079 --> 00:07:26.199 obviously being up and down while also being a rookie and trying to get your 98 00:07:26.199 --> 00:07:28.639 funeral, Like, what's allowed you to sort of have the success you've had 99 00:07:28.720 --> 00:07:32.120 thirty gaming since your big career at this point. I think it's it's just 100 00:07:32.160 --> 00:07:35.959 been kind of continuing to do my routine and kind of treat every outing the 101 00:07:35.959 --> 00:07:40.680 same a little bit. It's like getting up here and understanding that you don't 102 00:07:40.720 --> 00:07:43.040 need to do extra. You just need to make sure that you are executing 103 00:07:43.040 --> 00:07:46.079 your pitches, You're keeping them off balance and kind of moving things around and 104 00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:49.480 just not over complicating things on yourself. All Right, there's land and NAC 105 00:07:49.519 --> 00:07:54.920 thanks to sports in at LA for bringing us that postgame reaction from tonight's starter. 106 00:07:55.399 --> 00:07:59.319 Nack tonight four and two thirds innings, only gave up a solo home 107 00:07:59.399 --> 00:08:03.480 run in this game to Luis Mattos in the fifth inning, and had seven 108 00:08:03.519 --> 00:08:07.959 strikeouts and no walks. And I love the way landon Nac pitches. I 109 00:08:09.000 --> 00:08:11.560 know he's not going to blow you away with one hundred miles an hour, 110 00:08:11.680 --> 00:08:16.040 but ninety five miles an hour will get it done. And tonight he had 111 00:08:16.079 --> 00:08:20.800 that, and he used his slider, he used his change up, he 112 00:08:20.920 --> 00:08:26.040 used his curveball, and he did not start to unveil all pitches the first 113 00:08:26.079 --> 00:08:28.920 two times through the order. Third time or second time through the order, 114 00:08:30.079 --> 00:08:33.519 he started to throw more changeups and curveballs, and that really kept the Giants' 115 00:08:33.559 --> 00:08:37.759 hitters off balance. And you know, if you do a power ranking, 116 00:08:37.840 --> 00:08:41.399 so the Dodger starting pitchers as it is right now, not talking about guys 117 00:08:41.399 --> 00:08:45.679 on the injured list, because let's face it, we don't know if they're 118 00:08:45.720 --> 00:08:48.080 coming back or when they're coming back. But if you had to do a 119 00:08:48.120 --> 00:08:54.399 power ranking of the Dodger starters, you would obviously start with Tyler Glass now 120 00:08:54.440 --> 00:08:58.159 and Gavin Stone. But right now I would put landon Nack I had a 121 00:08:58.200 --> 00:09:01.840 Bobby Miller and James Paxton. That's the way I feel, That's the way 122 00:09:01.879 --> 00:09:05.440 I love the way he has great mound presence, he has great confidence in 123 00:09:05.519 --> 00:09:09.080 himself, and he has four different pitches. He knows how to pitch, 124 00:09:09.480 --> 00:09:13.799 and in this day and age of throwers, that's refreshing. Eight six six 125 00:09:13.919 --> 00:09:18.519 nine seven two five seventy is the phone number. Giants beat the Dodgers tonight, 126 00:09:18.600 --> 00:09:22.480 five to three. Let's go out to Redondo Beach. Steve, You're 127 00:09:22.519 --> 00:09:28.960 on Dodger Talk with David vasse Hi. Steve Yo, the real DV. 128 00:09:28.159 --> 00:09:31.919 What's up, Dave? How are you everything? Well, you know what, 129 00:09:33.000 --> 00:09:35.919 I'm a little salty. I something gets under my skin when the Giants 130 00:09:35.919 --> 00:09:41.879 beat the Dodgers, especially up here. I know it's tough to drop one 131 00:09:41.960 --> 00:09:46.559 to the hated ones. Man, I feel you dude, Hey, I 132 00:09:46.559 --> 00:09:50.159 I don't you know I I My question is, I just really want your 133 00:09:50.159 --> 00:09:56.480 perspective, you know, you know, with with Alex Vessia, I really 134 00:09:56.480 --> 00:10:00.960 think that the dude is a gamer, right, and I really like his 135 00:10:01.039 --> 00:10:07.519 demeanor and I want to kind of I want your take on where where you 136 00:10:07.600 --> 00:10:11.960 see him in this in in our bullpen and the role that he plays, 137 00:10:13.519 --> 00:10:20.159 And I don't want to kind of kind of sound like some of the some 138 00:10:20.320 --> 00:10:24.279 of our fans in the years prior with the Kenley Jansen and our closing our 139 00:10:24.360 --> 00:10:28.000 closers in the in the year's past, you know, like just kind of 140 00:10:28.039 --> 00:10:31.720 you know, when we drop one, what do you get? What are 141 00:10:31.759 --> 00:10:35.639 you saying about? What are you getting at? I'm not following Alex VESSI, 142 00:10:35.879 --> 00:10:39.279 I don't know. One of the most high leverage relievers on the Dodgers 143 00:10:39.360 --> 00:10:43.200 this year. I mean, Dave Roberts brought him into a basis loaded jam 144 00:10:43.240 --> 00:10:46.200 at Yankee Stadium. I don't know how much higher leverage you can get. 145 00:10:46.279 --> 00:10:52.279 I think he's right up there with Trynon Hudson Phillips. He's their number one 146 00:10:52.320 --> 00:10:56.480 lefty and one of the best lefties in the National League. I would love 147 00:10:56.559 --> 00:11:01.039 to see him step into that role. That's what I'm oh before you want 148 00:11:01.120 --> 00:11:05.039 him to close? Is that what you're saying? Yeah, Dave, I 149 00:11:05.080 --> 00:11:09.279 thought I was. I was. I was kind of easy into Okay, 150 00:11:09.799 --> 00:11:13.080 I was hoping you would back me on that. I'm not going to back 151 00:11:13.159 --> 00:11:16.159 you on that. Steve he does have four saves though, Steve, so 152 00:11:16.240 --> 00:11:20.159 he has done it before. And uh, look he has that little crazy 153 00:11:20.240 --> 00:11:24.279 in him that closers need and relief pitcher's need. But right now I feel 154 00:11:24.279 --> 00:11:28.759 like the Dodgers are in pretty good hands with Evan Phillips. Well, all 155 00:11:28.759 --> 00:11:31.080 he needs to do is claw's face with like a little John Rocker, and 156 00:11:31.120 --> 00:11:35.799 then he'll get them get the nod. Hey, he has four saves, 157 00:11:35.840 --> 00:11:39.840 so he's done it, Steve, and he's more valuable putting out fires and 158 00:11:41.000 --> 00:11:45.399 other innings outside of just solely the ninth inning. Thanks for the phone call, 159 00:11:45.440 --> 00:11:48.120 appreciate it. Eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy is the 160 00:11:48.159 --> 00:11:52.519 phone number. Brett Weisley. I know a lot of these Giants players we 161 00:11:52.559 --> 00:11:58.240 have never heard of before, but Brett Weisley, second basement for the Giants 162 00:11:58.279 --> 00:12:01.759 hit a walk off to run home run on off of Blake training. Let's 163 00:12:01.799 --> 00:12:05.879 head downstairs right now to the Dodgers clubhouse to hear from Blake trning himself, 164 00:12:05.919 --> 00:12:09.799 who's on sports and at LA. Honestly, I don't even know where the 165 00:12:09.799 --> 00:12:13.840 pitch ended up really hit. I know I made two good sliders before that 166 00:12:16.440 --> 00:12:20.000 swinging. This one seems like the right pitch in the right time, so 167 00:12:20.279 --> 00:12:22.159 probably it was more middle. But I have to go back and I'll get 168 00:12:22.159 --> 00:12:24.440 it. What did you want that that she just seemed like you were attacking 169 00:12:24.480 --> 00:12:28.080 low and in that whole about Of course, I don't know keep very much 170 00:12:28.080 --> 00:12:33.200 about Rooky. Yeah, we have scouting reports, so it's all about execution 171 00:12:33.279 --> 00:12:39.879 and sometimes thanks keep that when we do with this bullpenon just because I've had 172 00:12:39.879 --> 00:12:41.639 a lot of success as of late, and obviously this is just one game. 173 00:12:41.679 --> 00:12:43.600 But I guess what were you kind of seeing from the group and just 174 00:12:43.639 --> 00:12:48.200 kind of how you guys were executing out there, just like as a whole 175 00:12:48.240 --> 00:12:50.799 tonight. Yeah, I mean I felt like I felt like y'agro did a 176 00:12:50.799 --> 00:12:54.279 great job. Fan, they did a great job. I feel like how 177 00:12:54.279 --> 00:12:58.720 you did a good job of attacking the zone. Maybe there are guys have 178 00:13:01.200 --> 00:13:07.919 of tiss extremely well a year sucks losing. I guess that's about it. 179 00:13:07.919 --> 00:13:09.799 That I don't really know what else to say. All right, that's Blake 180 00:13:09.799 --> 00:13:13.919 Trnon on Sports at LA. I'm with you. I'm with you, Blake. 181 00:13:13.480 --> 00:13:16.759 You just did not execute the pitch. There's not much else to say. 182 00:13:18.200 --> 00:13:20.840 And look, that's gonna happen for relievers from time to time, but 183 00:13:22.519 --> 00:13:26.559 Blake Trining has been outstanding for the Dodgers this season. Eight six, six, 184 00:13:26.679 --> 00:13:30.720 nine, eight seven two five seventy is the phone number. Look, 185 00:13:30.960 --> 00:13:33.919 I'm with those guys. I know they have fifty one wins and the Giants 186 00:13:33.960 --> 00:13:39.679 are trying to piece it together this year forty and forty three. But there's 187 00:13:39.759 --> 00:13:46.679 something so annoying about this stadium and these the Giants. The Giants, there's 188 00:13:46.679 --> 00:13:52.360 something annoying about them, and man, they really basking it when they beat 189 00:13:52.399 --> 00:13:56.279 the Dodgers, especially in dramatic fashion like they did tonight as Blake Trining and 190 00:13:56.360 --> 00:14:01.440 the Dodgers go down to Brett Weisley and the San Francisco Giants tonight at Oracle 191 00:14:01.480 --> 00:14:05.639 Park five to three. When we continue here on Dodger Talk, we'll get 192 00:14:05.679 --> 00:14:11.480 to some mind numbing trade talk. There's more names being thrown out there around 193 00:14:11.480 --> 00:14:15.840 the league about possible trade targets. We'll also get you an update on Max 194 00:14:15.919 --> 00:14:22.000 Muncie, and you'll hear from the most famous bat boy this side of anywhere. 195 00:14:22.320 --> 00:14:28.639 Javier Herrera joined us on the pregame show. He saved Otani's life in 196 00:14:28.759 --> 00:14:33.440 Chicago Wednesday night and it went viral. You'll hear from Hovey later in the 197 00:14:33.480 --> 00:14:37.279 show as we're taking you to eleven o'clock on Dodger Talk Live from Oracle Park 198 00:14:37.399 --> 00:14:46.720 after the Giants beat the Dodgers five to three on air at AM five seventy, 199 00:14:48.000 --> 00:14:52.240 online at amfive seventy, LA sports dot com, and available by podcast 200 00:14:52.279 --> 00:15:00.919 on the iHeartRadio app. This is Dodger Talk with David Bassan. Pies rips 201 00:15:00.919 --> 00:15:05.480 the ball left center field. Running after it is Ramos Huick cannot make the 202 00:15:05.639 --> 00:15:09.840 catch, it goes to the wall. Pot has going for third to throw 203 00:15:09.960 --> 00:15:15.559 over there, not in time, and the Dodgers have the tying run on 204 00:15:15.720 --> 00:15:20.559 third base with nobody out. The Dodgers wearing business. In the top of 205 00:15:20.600 --> 00:15:26.279 the ninth inning, Andy pat Has with the leadoff triple off of Camillo Duvall, 206 00:15:26.480 --> 00:15:31.759 set up Jason Hayward's sacrifice fly to tie the score at three. The 207 00:15:31.840 --> 00:15:35.519 Dodgers would send it to the bottom of the ninth inning tiede but Brett Weisley, 208 00:15:35.799 --> 00:15:41.000 Yes. Brett Weisley hits a two run walk off home run against Blake 209 00:15:41.080 --> 00:15:45.440 Trining and the Giants get the win five to three. In Game one of 210 00:15:45.480 --> 00:15:50.120 this three game series. This is Dodger Talk. David Vase live in San 211 00:15:50.120 --> 00:15:56.480 Francisco with you until eleven o'clock tonight.

All 216 00:16:15.120 --> 00:16:19.679 right, had a chance to talk to Max Munsey when I went down on 217 00:16:19.759 --> 00:16:25.360 the field around two point fifteen this afternoon. I was surprised to see Max 218 00:16:25.440 --> 00:16:30.879 Munsey doing his pregame drills with Dino Ebel. And when Max came back to 219 00:16:30.919 --> 00:16:34.639 the dugout, I said, Hey, are you swinging the bat yet? 220 00:16:34.799 --> 00:16:37.519 He said, yes, I am, David. I said, Max, 221 00:16:37.559 --> 00:16:41.960 would you like to tell me when the first day was that you swung the 222 00:16:41.000 --> 00:16:45.720 bat? Well, wouldn't you love to know that? David? Uh So, 223 00:16:45.960 --> 00:16:49.759 he did let me in on this that he was taking swings inside today 224 00:16:49.799 --> 00:16:52.679 in the batting cage. So that's a good thing. And if you go 225 00:16:52.759 --> 00:16:59.080 back to the last homestand if you were listening, I reported that Max relay 226 00:16:59.240 --> 00:17:03.160 to me as well that once he starts swinging, he would return in two 227 00:17:03.200 --> 00:17:08.039 weeks, which lines up when he's eligible to come off the now sixty day 228 00:17:08.119 --> 00:17:12.119 injured list. In case you don't know how the sixty day IL works, 229 00:17:12.160 --> 00:17:17.839 after you're placed on the fifteen day IL, it's not like you're adding sixty 230 00:17:17.920 --> 00:17:22.039 more days to the already existing amount of fifteen. It goes back to the 231 00:17:22.160 --> 00:17:27.400 date that you were placed on the fifteen day IL. So Max Monsey's first 232 00:17:27.440 --> 00:17:33.960 eligible day off the sixty day IL would be July fifteenth, which, as 233 00:17:33.000 --> 00:17:37.680 you know, is the first day of the All Star Break. So more 234 00:17:37.720 --> 00:17:41.599 than likely he will be back the first game back after the All Star break, 235 00:17:41.759 --> 00:17:47.279 and that would be against the Boston Red Sox on Thursday night at Dodgers 236 00:17:47.400 --> 00:17:52.480 or Friday night at Dodgers Stadium. So expect Max monsely back after the All 237 00:17:52.519 --> 00:17:56.400 Star break when he's eligible. But the good news is he's swinging the bat 238 00:17:56.480 --> 00:18:00.480 and hopefully he does not have any setbacks. Eight six six, nine eighty 239 00:18:00.559 --> 00:18:04.119 seven two five seventy is the phone number. By the way, I feel 240 00:18:04.119 --> 00:18:08.799 like we all appreciate Max Munsey and how he fits in this lineup a lot 241 00:18:08.880 --> 00:18:14.680 more since he's been out since May fifteenth. His OPS when he went on 242 00:18:14.720 --> 00:18:19.440 the IL was eight hundred. The Dodgers combined third basemen that have tried to 243 00:18:19.480 --> 00:18:25.519 fill in for Monthsey since then is in the four hundred range, so nearly 244 00:18:25.839 --> 00:18:30.240 half of an OPS at third base for the Dodgers since Mounsey went on the 245 00:18:30.319 --> 00:18:36.400 IL. And speaking of players and how they fit with the Dodgers, obviously 246 00:18:36.440 --> 00:18:41.680 we're getting closer to the July thirtieth trade deadline, almost exactly a month away, 247 00:18:41.319 --> 00:18:45.359 and Garrett Crochet seems to be on the top of a lot of teams 248 00:18:45.440 --> 00:18:51.960 list. I'm hearing Dodgers Padres, and there's one more team that I heard, 249 00:18:52.440 --> 00:18:55.839 Dodgers Padres. I forgot who else the third team was, but I'll 250 00:18:55.839 --> 00:19:00.119 remember that also Chris Bassett of the Toronto Blue Jays. He's having a very 251 00:19:00.119 --> 00:19:04.880 good season with Toronto. He may be on the trade block because the Jays 252 00:19:06.000 --> 00:19:11.839 are sinking fast. And there's a scenario where the Dodgers already have opened the 253 00:19:11.880 --> 00:19:17.000 lines of communications with Ross Atkins when they made that trade for Cavin Bigio. 254 00:19:17.440 --> 00:19:21.799 I find it hard to believe when Andrew Friedman called Ross Atkins about Cave and 255 00:19:21.839 --> 00:19:26.319 Bigio that none of his other players ever came up. So the lines of 256 00:19:26.319 --> 00:19:32.079 communication are already open between the Dodgers and Blue Jays, and maybe that makes 257 00:19:32.079 --> 00:19:36.920 it easier to pull off a trade with the JS for Chris Bassett and maybe 258 00:19:37.480 --> 00:19:41.839 Bo Bischett. You know, everybody thinks Bo Bischett is the savior for the 259 00:19:41.880 --> 00:19:47.279 Dodgers. I'm not sure, but Chris Bassett certainly would fit the bill of 260 00:19:47.319 --> 00:19:52.359 a starter that can make a playoff start if necessary. Garrett Crochet would be, 261 00:19:52.200 --> 00:19:59.119 above all else, the number one choice out there on the trade market 262 00:19:59.440 --> 00:20:03.920 the White If they want to trade Garrett Crochet, they certainly will have a 263 00:20:03.920 --> 00:20:10.200 bidding war for him because he's probably the best starter available at the trade deadline. 264 00:20:10.240 --> 00:20:14.359 But Chris Bassett, a right hander, keeps the ball down, actually 265 00:20:14.480 --> 00:20:17.799 made his name up here in the Bay Area pitching for the A's and got 266 00:20:17.799 --> 00:20:22.240 a big contract from the Blue Jays. Now. Also, maybe the Dodgers 267 00:20:22.279 --> 00:20:26.440 are considering another bullpen arm, left handed. Tannor Scott from the Marlins is 268 00:20:26.480 --> 00:20:30.799 a name that's out there. Pete Fairbanks from the Rays, our old Frank 269 00:20:30.880 --> 00:20:36.440 Kenley Jansen, Yes, his name is still out there. And how about 270 00:20:36.519 --> 00:20:40.039 Kyle Finnegan of the Nationals. We had a caller a couple of weeks ago 271 00:20:40.480 --> 00:20:45.839 implore me to consider Lane Thomas, the right handed hitting outfielder for the Nationals. 272 00:20:45.119 --> 00:20:49.119 How about a Kyle Finnigan and Lane Thomas trade and a guy I think 273 00:20:49.200 --> 00:20:52.839 that could help the Dodgers. I'm not sure the Angels would trade with the 274 00:20:52.880 --> 00:20:59.079 Dodgers, but a guy that certainly could help their infield offense would be Louis 275 00:20:59.160 --> 00:21:03.880 Renhifo. And remember, the Dodgers and Angels had a framework for a trade 276 00:21:03.200 --> 00:21:08.240 back in twenty twenty where the Dodgers would have traded Ross Trippling, Jack Peterson, 277 00:21:08.440 --> 00:21:15.680 and Andy Pajez for Taylor Ward and Luis Renhifo back then. So if 278 00:21:15.720 --> 00:21:21.039 the Dodgers like Renhifo, then he's only become a better Major leaguer since then. 279 00:21:21.079 --> 00:21:23.960 You would imagine they still believe he could help them. So we'll see 280 00:21:25.480 --> 00:21:29.400 whether or not they believe the Angels would make a trade with them for a 281 00:21:29.440 --> 00:21:33.160 player like Louis Renhifoh. Look, the Angels the White Sox, they need 282 00:21:33.200 --> 00:21:37.559 talent in their organization. I don't think they should be opposed with trading for 283 00:21:37.799 --> 00:21:44.720 anybody or with anybody in their positions. Eight six six nine eight seven two 284 00:21:44.799 --> 00:21:49.359 five seventy is the phone number speaking of the White Sox. Gavin Stone on 285 00:21:49.559 --> 00:21:56.400 Wednesday night pitched a complete game shutout, but he was overshadowed by Dodgers bat 286 00:21:56.440 --> 00:22:03.400 boy and clubhouse attendant Javier Herrera, who was caught on camera by a Japanese 287 00:22:03.920 --> 00:22:10.480 network saving Otani's life and basically his face. A check swing by Keik Hernandez 288 00:22:10.880 --> 00:22:15.319 sharply went into the Dodgers dugout where Otani was standing on the steps near the 289 00:22:15.359 --> 00:22:21.720 batrack, and sitting right in front of him was Hobby Herrera, who very 290 00:22:21.759 --> 00:22:26.319 calmonly just grabbed the foul ball and handed it to the authenticator like he did 291 00:22:26.359 --> 00:22:32.720 not save show hey Otani's life and Hobby joined us on the pregame show talked 292 00:22:32.759 --> 00:22:37.880 about how close the dugout is to home played out there in New Komiski Park, 293 00:22:37.200 --> 00:22:44.160 the dugout at guaranteed rate field, very dangerous angle there, so you 294 00:22:44.279 --> 00:22:48.119 had to be on your toes. Can you take us through what you saw 295 00:22:48.240 --> 00:22:52.200 and what Otani told you after you saved his life. So, I mean 296 00:22:52.240 --> 00:22:56.519 it's pretty close by. It's what twenty feet maybe twenty five feet from home 297 00:22:56.559 --> 00:23:00.720 plate to the dugout, so I had to keep my eyes wide open, 298 00:23:00.240 --> 00:23:04.880 be aware of anything. So I think the first the first game, Crochet 299 00:23:04.920 --> 00:23:10.519 was pitching. He was throwing hard, and he stood behind me saying like, 300 00:23:10.519 --> 00:23:11.319 oh, I don't want to He didnt say anything, but I knew 301 00:23:11.359 --> 00:23:14.319 he didn't want to get hit. But I did tell him, like, 302 00:23:14.359 --> 00:23:17.599 don't worry, I'll protect you. I got your back. And then game 303 00:23:17.680 --> 00:23:21.319 three in Chicago, I caught that line drive and the night when I caught 304 00:23:21.319 --> 00:23:23.000 it, he turned around. I turned around and gave him knuckles and I 305 00:23:23.000 --> 00:23:26.160 told him I told you, I got you. And then he was happy 306 00:23:26.160 --> 00:23:29.640 about that. Man, it was so smooth too. You didn't make a 307 00:23:29.640 --> 00:23:33.240 big deal about it. You caught it and you handed it to the authenticator. 308 00:23:33.359 --> 00:23:34.920 Yeah. Yeah, I mean it was a foul ball. I mean, 309 00:23:34.920 --> 00:23:37.400 the game's still going nothing really, no one got hurt. That was 310 00:23:37.440 --> 00:23:40.960 the best part. I did my job, all right. So after that, 311 00:23:41.079 --> 00:23:42.880 we saw each other after the game. By the time we saw each 312 00:23:42.880 --> 00:23:48.039 other, things kind of got went viral. How many texts did you get 313 00:23:48.039 --> 00:23:53.119 from around the league, from former Dodgers current Dodgers about how it went viral. 314 00:23:53.400 --> 00:23:56.839 I got a good amount of texts from family friends, even people that 315 00:23:56.880 --> 00:24:00.880 I don't even know, to be honest, but they're not in my context. 316 00:24:00.400 --> 00:24:04.799 But David probably did reach out TP J. T. Turner, Justin 317 00:24:04.839 --> 00:24:11.039 Turner reached out. Catboy reached out, you know, just saying good hands, 318 00:24:11.079 --> 00:24:12.640 like, you know, saying that, yeah, save, I saved 319 00:24:12.640 --> 00:24:15.599 Show his life. But I think he probably you know, I think he 320 00:24:15.599 --> 00:24:18.400 probably would have avoided a little bit. But you know, I did my 321 00:24:18.440 --> 00:24:23.359 thing. Yeah you did your thing. Javey Herrera, and he deserves to 322 00:24:23.440 --> 00:24:27.160 have his name out there not just Dodger bat boy, because he's much more 323 00:24:27.200 --> 00:24:33.200 than that. And Javier has been with the team for over fifteen years as 324 00:24:33.240 --> 00:24:37.440 a clubhouse attendant, and ever since the pandemic started, the Dodgers have been 325 00:24:37.519 --> 00:24:44.440 traveling their clubhouse attendants to serve as bat boys. Brandon, Javier have been 326 00:24:44.519 --> 00:24:47.559 part of it. Joe been part of it. But Javier is the guy 327 00:24:47.559 --> 00:24:52.440 that travels a lot, so he's a great guy. Certainly deserves all the 328 00:24:52.480 --> 00:24:56.759 shine he gets over this because how many of us or how many bat boys 329 00:24:56.759 --> 00:25:03.119 out there with no glove would have been able to just commonly have the catlike 330 00:25:03.279 --> 00:25:08.519 reflexes to catch the ball and not let it hit your seven hundred million dollar 331 00:25:08.680 --> 00:25:15.160 DH Pitcher Superstar Show. Hey Otani, I wonder you know everybody says, 332 00:25:15.279 --> 00:25:18.200 is Otani going to buy him a Porsche? You know, I kind of 333 00:25:18.200 --> 00:25:23.119 feel bad for sho Hey because everybody feels like if you do something nice for 334 00:25:23.240 --> 00:25:27.759 him, or you save his life like Javier did that he owes you a 335 00:25:27.799 --> 00:25:33.359 Porsche, like he sent to Joe Kelly's house, I guess I would say 336 00:25:33.400 --> 00:25:38.400 what Hobby did deserves a Porsche more than just giving up number seventeen like Joe 337 00:25:38.519 --> 00:25:44.759 Kelly did. So I guess in context, I feel like what Hobby did 338 00:25:45.039 --> 00:25:51.720 his actions were more representative of getting some sort of reward. But I mean, 339 00:25:52.200 --> 00:25:55.359 I guess he was just doing his job. And I know Hovey does 340 00:25:55.440 --> 00:25:59.680 not want anything. He's uncomfortable with all this attention. He was shocked that 341 00:26:00.160 --> 00:26:07.039 the Japanese camera crews were filming every step that he took today and in fact 342 00:26:07.119 --> 00:26:11.480 had to have a press conference with the Japanese media after he talked to us. 343 00:26:11.519 --> 00:26:17.319 So, congratulations to Javier Herrera and wow, show. Hey man, 344 00:26:17.400 --> 00:26:21.000 this guy saved your life, no doubt about it. Eight sixty six nine 345 00:26:21.079 --> 00:26:25.880 eight seven two five seventy is the phone number. Dodgers fall to the Giants 346 00:26:25.880 --> 00:26:30.279 tonight, five to three, and coming into this road trip, six game 347 00:26:30.400 --> 00:26:33.720 road trip, three against the White Sox and three more Here in San Francisco, 348 00:26:34.400 --> 00:26:40.480 Rick Monday and I were talking about this and we both agreed what realistic 349 00:26:40.559 --> 00:26:44.519 records should the Dodgers have on this road trip, and we both said five 350 00:26:44.559 --> 00:26:48.079 and one. Sweep the White Sox and take two out of three from the 351 00:26:48.160 --> 00:26:52.839 Giants. No matter how good or bad the Giants are, this is a 352 00:26:52.920 --> 00:26:56.920 tough place to beat them, as we saw tonight, and with Logan Webb 353 00:26:57.039 --> 00:27:02.920 going tonight, the Giants needed the game because they're going with a twenty six 354 00:27:03.039 --> 00:27:07.559 year old rookie, a left hander and Eric Miller tomorrow. They are undecided 355 00:27:07.599 --> 00:27:11.920 on who their starter is on Sunday, so they needed that win. Especially 356 00:27:11.960 --> 00:27:15.759 with Tyler glassnow on the mound for the Dodgers tomorrow. You would imagine that 357 00:27:17.400 --> 00:27:21.039 and at four fifteen, by the way, where shadows come into play, 358 00:27:21.400 --> 00:27:26.359 Glass now is tough enough to hit this year without having the advantage of shadows. 359 00:27:26.400 --> 00:27:30.119 So the Giants really needed this game, and in my opinion, I 360 00:27:30.200 --> 00:27:34.799 feel like the Dodgers win the next two games of this series and deliver that 361 00:27:34.920 --> 00:27:40.079 five to one record on this road trip. Eight sixty six nine eight seven 362 00:27:40.200 --> 00:27:44.200 two five seventy is the phone number. Giants walk it off thanks to a 363 00:27:44.240 --> 00:27:48.119 two run walk off home run by Brett Weisley off of Blake Trining tonight. 364 00:27:48.920 --> 00:27:52.799 And speaking of uh, you know, power rankings of starters and what took 365 00:27:52.839 --> 00:27:59.960 place in Chicago. Gavin Stone, Wow, the Dodgers' first complete game shutout 366 00:28:00.079 --> 00:28:04.079 since Walker Buehler did it back in twenty twenty two. In spring training, 367 00:28:04.119 --> 00:28:07.359 I had mentioned to you that I was a big believer in Gavin Stone. 368 00:28:07.640 --> 00:28:11.880 If there was an award for the best pitcher in spring training this year, 369 00:28:12.039 --> 00:28:17.359 it would have been given to Gavin Stone. Player of Spring Training would have 370 00:28:17.400 --> 00:28:22.279 been given to Andy paj Haz. So both of these rookies have really earned 371 00:28:22.480 --> 00:28:27.640 their opportunity and they have both ran with it. And Gavin Stone outstanding pitching 372 00:28:27.680 --> 00:28:33.839 the contact during the past off season. He got bigger, he got stronger, 373 00:28:33.920 --> 00:28:37.920 He came up with two extra pitches, including his two seam fastball. 374 00:28:37.440 --> 00:28:41.759 He has been outstanding and so humble and such a great guy. And our 375 00:28:41.799 --> 00:28:45.839 guy calling ye back of the Burbank studios heard Gavin Stone on with Petro some 376 00:28:45.920 --> 00:28:52.359 Money and wow, I'm number one humble that Petro some Money would keep the 377 00:28:52.400 --> 00:28:56.680 receipts on how high I was on Gavin Stone since spring training. And also, 378 00:28:56.880 --> 00:29:02.519 man, I'm floored by what Ving Stone told those guys about me. 379 00:29:03.880 --> 00:29:07.759 That's funny. Uh. No, David is a great guy. Immediately whenever 380 00:29:07.799 --> 00:29:12.400 I came up, you know, we connected and and started talking and got 381 00:29:12.400 --> 00:29:15.000 to know each other pretty well. And and like I said, he's a 382 00:29:15.000 --> 00:29:21.200 great guy. And earlier in the season, actually he he I told him 383 00:29:21.240 --> 00:29:23.039 that my favorite player when I was growing up was David Exton, and he 384 00:29:23.119 --> 00:29:27.079 actually set it up to where I could FaceTime David and get to talk to 385 00:29:27.119 --> 00:29:30.240 him a little bit. So that meant a lot to me. And uh 386 00:29:30.359 --> 00:29:33.640 and I'll forever be grateful for that, just because you know, David was 387 00:29:33.680 --> 00:29:38.000 my favorite player growing up. But no, he's He's a great guy. 388 00:29:38.039 --> 00:29:41.119 I love him to death. I'm so glad that he's in our clubhouse all 389 00:29:41.119 --> 00:29:45.880 the time. I don't know, I don't know what he saw in spring 390 00:29:45.960 --> 00:29:49.400 training, but Uh, so like, uh, we've always connected and he's 391 00:29:49.400 --> 00:29:52.920 always he's always liked me, and I've always liked him. So he's probably 392 00:29:52.960 --> 00:29:57.079 just giving me some you know, props in spring training. But yeah, 393 00:29:57.079 --> 00:30:02.640 that's cool with him to say, yeah, Gavin Stone, damn man, 394 00:30:02.680 --> 00:30:06.839 you're gonna make me cry Gavin Stone. After hearing that, Man, I 395 00:30:06.880 --> 00:30:08.680 love Gavin Stone. Great kid, easy kid to root for. And you 396 00:30:08.720 --> 00:30:12.079 know what I saw. I saw a guy that worked really hurt hard during 397 00:30:12.079 --> 00:30:17.599 the off season. I saw a humble and hungry pitcher in Gavin Stone. 398 00:30:17.680 --> 00:30:22.599 And he has gotten that opportunity. And remember when spring training started, he 399 00:30:22.759 --> 00:30:26.319 was on the outside looking in. If Emmitt Sheen doesn't get hurt, Gavin 400 00:30:26.359 --> 00:30:32.000 Stone may not start the year with the Dodgers, and he was he had 401 00:30:32.000 --> 00:30:36.720 to earn his opportunity and he did. And opportunities come in a lot of 402 00:30:36.759 --> 00:30:41.279 different shapes and forms, and next man up is always a great opportunity. 403 00:30:41.400 --> 00:30:45.920 And unfortunately for Emmit Shean, he had an elbow issue in spring training that 404 00:30:45.039 --> 00:30:49.039 opened the door for Gavin Stone to take it and he has not looked back. 405 00:30:49.119 --> 00:30:53.359 So man, Gavin Stone, very happy for him. And uh, 406 00:30:53.799 --> 00:30:59.279 look, he has the lowest era on the Dodgers' staff right now. Not 407 00:30:59.319 --> 00:31:03.920 sure if you real that his era is lower than Tyler Glass Noow's and if 408 00:31:03.920 --> 00:31:07.640 he keeps this going one or two more starts, I mean, I know 409 00:31:07.759 --> 00:31:11.000 I talked about Rookie of the Year consideration in the National League, But how 410 00:31:11.000 --> 00:31:15.920 about now some All Star consideration? Glass now and Stone to the All Star 411 00:31:17.039 --> 00:31:19.599 Game? How about that? Who would have thought that in spring training? 412 00:31:21.480 --> 00:31:23.680 I wish I could say I did, but I'm not gonna go that far. 413 00:31:23.759 --> 00:31:26.680 But if you're gonna be considered for Rookie of the Year, then yeah, 414 00:31:26.720 --> 00:31:30.759 I guess, uh, I guess an All Star nod is not out 415 00:31:30.319 --> 00:31:36.000 of question here now Tomorrow it will be Tyler Glass now on the mound for 416 00:31:36.160 --> 00:31:41.240 the Dodgers, trying to beat Gavin Stone's era. Right now, Glass now 417 00:31:41.319 --> 00:31:45.039 is at two eighty eight with an eight and five record. Like I mentioned, 418 00:31:45.039 --> 00:31:48.279 he's going up against southpaw Eric Miller, a twenty six year old rookie 419 00:31:48.559 --> 00:31:52.640 who is a college pitcher out of Stanford. He has made seven starts in 420 00:31:52.680 --> 00:31:57.279 his Major League career this season and Morongo Casino Dodgers on deck begins at three 421 00:31:57.319 --> 00:32:02.559 o'clock with first pitch at four fifteen.
