00:00:00.400 --> 00:00:03.919
<v Speaker 1>And now your host of Dodger Talk, David Vasse.

2
00:00:06.240 --> 00:00:11.000
<v Speaker 2>Welcome the Dodger Talk David Vase live in Philadelphia after

3
00:00:11.080 --> 00:00:14.480
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers defeat the Phillies by a final score of

4
00:00:14.560 --> 00:00:15.279
<v Speaker 2>three to one.

5
00:00:15.720 --> 00:00:17.079
<v Speaker 3>We have phone lines.

6
00:00:16.839 --> 00:00:20.359
<v Speaker 2>Open at eight sixty six, nine eighty seven, two five seventy.

7
00:00:20.559 --> 00:00:23.359
<v Speaker 2>The Dodgers bounced back with a win, their ninth of

8
00:00:23.440 --> 00:00:26.640
<v Speaker 2>the year, after losing their first game of the season

9
00:00:26.800 --> 00:00:29.559
<v Speaker 2>last night, and they kind of beat themselves with some

10
00:00:29.600 --> 00:00:33.679
<v Speaker 2>poor base running and some poor mental errors yesterday as

11
00:00:33.679 --> 00:00:37.640
<v Speaker 2>well defensively, so a really good way to come back

12
00:00:37.679 --> 00:00:41.320
<v Speaker 2>against a really good pitcher in Aaron Nola, as the

13
00:00:41.399 --> 00:00:44.159
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers hid two home runs off of Nola, who has

14
00:00:44.200 --> 00:00:47.520
<v Speaker 2>been susceptible over the course of his career to the

15
00:00:47.560 --> 00:00:51.159
<v Speaker 2>home runs, and Keike Hernandez, who will hear from later

16
00:00:51.240 --> 00:00:54.039
<v Speaker 2>in the show, hit a two run home run in

17
00:00:54.119 --> 00:00:57.920
<v Speaker 2>the second inning. And then Michael Conforto, who like I

18
00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:02.399
<v Speaker 2>mentioned during the Clubhouse, shows really well in this ballpark

19
00:01:02.799 --> 00:01:06.280
<v Speaker 2>with an OPS of over five point fifty and ops

20
00:01:06.519 --> 00:01:09.480
<v Speaker 2>or excuse me, a slugging percentage of over five point

21
00:01:09.480 --> 00:01:13.040
<v Speaker 2>fifty and now an OPS of over nine hundred with

22
00:01:13.200 --> 00:01:18.319
<v Speaker 2>sixteen home runs. He homered Offanola in the sixth inning,

23
00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:23.560
<v Speaker 2>But really the story was today, big picture Roki Sazaki.

24
00:01:24.719 --> 00:01:27.920
<v Speaker 2>What's the direction in the near future of Roki Sazaki?

25
00:01:28.040 --> 00:01:32.480
<v Speaker 2>What was at stake for Roki Sazaki today? Well, I

26
00:01:32.599 --> 00:01:35.560
<v Speaker 2>kind of feel that if he would have thrown a

27
00:01:35.560 --> 00:01:38.040
<v Speaker 2>lot of pitches and been out of this game by

28
00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:42.760
<v Speaker 2>the second inning, the Dodgers would have been faced with

29
00:01:42.959 --> 00:01:46.120
<v Speaker 2>a real decision on whether or not to skip his

30
00:01:46.239 --> 00:01:49.200
<v Speaker 2>start for a couple of turns and call up either

31
00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:53.239
<v Speaker 2>Bobby Miller, whose birthday is today, or Landon Knack. That

32
00:01:53.400 --> 00:01:56.040
<v Speaker 2>really would have been staring them in the face. But

33
00:01:56.400 --> 00:02:00.840
<v Speaker 2>thankfully Roki Sazaki held his own He which much better

34
00:02:00.920 --> 00:02:04.200
<v Speaker 2>than he did in his previous two starts, and he

35
00:02:04.280 --> 00:02:06.879
<v Speaker 2>went four plus innings, got into the fifth inning, but

36
00:02:07.719 --> 00:02:10.400
<v Speaker 2>allowed the first two hitters of that inning to get

37
00:02:10.439 --> 00:02:12.879
<v Speaker 2>on base. A walk to Real Mudo and then a

38
00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:16.759
<v Speaker 2>base hit by Bryson Stott put runners at first and second,

39
00:02:17.080 --> 00:02:19.879
<v Speaker 2>and with a couple of left handers and Harper looming,

40
00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:23.599
<v Speaker 2>Dave Roberts went to Anthony Bunda in the fifth inning,

41
00:02:23.800 --> 00:02:30.280
<v Speaker 2>and thanks to Bryson Stutt's bad base running, ta Oscar

42
00:02:30.319 --> 00:02:34.199
<v Speaker 2>Hernandez was able to catch and throw out Bryson Stott

43
00:02:34.240 --> 00:02:37.199
<v Speaker 2>at first base on a double play on a fly

44
00:02:37.360 --> 00:02:40.919
<v Speaker 2>ball from Kyle Schwarber. And really that was a momentum change.

45
00:02:40.960 --> 00:02:44.680
<v Speaker 2>So that was a big inning for Banda. That was

46
00:02:44.719 --> 00:02:48.520
<v Speaker 2>a big inning for Sazaki, who only walked two batters.

47
00:02:48.560 --> 00:02:51.280
<v Speaker 2>And I will say this, Will Smith is an all

48
00:02:51.319 --> 00:02:56.159
<v Speaker 2>star catcher, and he's a solid catcher, but his value

49
00:02:56.280 --> 00:03:00.000
<v Speaker 2>is his offense. It's his throwing arm. Austin barnes Is

50
00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:03.879
<v Speaker 2>strength is his receiving skills. We all know that the

51
00:03:03.879 --> 00:03:08.159
<v Speaker 2>pitcher catcher relationship and today don't discount the fact that

52
00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:12.319
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers decided Austin Barnes was going to have to catch

53
00:03:12.360 --> 00:03:15.439
<v Speaker 2>one of these next two games because they really don't

54
00:03:15.479 --> 00:03:19.960
<v Speaker 2>want to overwork Will Smith because we've known the last

55
00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:23.840
<v Speaker 2>couple of years there's been a dramatic drop off offensively

56
00:03:23.919 --> 00:03:27.360
<v Speaker 2>from Will Smith from the first half of seasons to

57
00:03:27.439 --> 00:03:30.280
<v Speaker 2>the second half of the season. So the Dodgers are

58
00:03:30.319 --> 00:03:34.000
<v Speaker 2>well aware of that and really don't want to overwork

59
00:03:34.039 --> 00:03:37.680
<v Speaker 2>Will Smith. So either Barnes was going to catch Glass

60
00:03:37.680 --> 00:03:41.639
<v Speaker 2>now tomorrow or he was going to catch Sazaki today.

61
00:03:42.759 --> 00:03:48.280
<v Speaker 2>Sazaki needed Barnes more than Tyler Glassnew needed Barnes tomorrow,

62
00:03:48.759 --> 00:03:51.639
<v Speaker 2>and I believe you saw the fruits of all that.

63
00:03:51.840 --> 00:03:54.719
<v Speaker 2>A great decision by the Dodgers to have Barnes, who's

64
00:03:54.800 --> 00:03:58.520
<v Speaker 2>really good at getting the low strikes and Sazaki has

65
00:03:58.560 --> 00:04:02.560
<v Speaker 2>that split fingered fast I love the way that Barnes

66
00:04:02.639 --> 00:04:06.199
<v Speaker 2>was able to receive him today, keep him calm and

67
00:04:06.319 --> 00:04:09.319
<v Speaker 2>also get some strikes for him and not steal strikes,

68
00:04:09.360 --> 00:04:12.280
<v Speaker 2>but present the strikes down at the bottom of the

69
00:04:12.280 --> 00:04:15.319
<v Speaker 2>strike zone and also go to his split fingered.

70
00:04:14.960 --> 00:04:17.360
<v Speaker 3>Fastball with two strikes after he got ahead.

71
00:04:17.439 --> 00:04:23.879
<v Speaker 2>So would I would strongly say Austin Barnes or here

72
00:04:23.920 --> 00:04:26.519
<v Speaker 2>it is. I'll just say a point blank without trying

73
00:04:26.519 --> 00:04:30.439
<v Speaker 2>to be mister PC, I would have Austin Barnes catch

74
00:04:30.759 --> 00:04:34.040
<v Speaker 2>Sayzaki another start and see how that goes because it

75
00:04:34.079 --> 00:04:39.079
<v Speaker 2>works so well today. Sorry, that's just the reality of it.

76
00:04:39.439 --> 00:04:42.040
<v Speaker 2>And here is Austin Barnes who spoke to the media

77
00:04:42.160 --> 00:04:43.720
<v Speaker 2>just moments ago in the clubhouse.

78
00:04:44.160 --> 00:04:45.079
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I think he'll be fine.

79
00:04:45.120 --> 00:04:47.680
<v Speaker 4>You know, I think he's like today, he had his

80
00:04:47.720 --> 00:04:50.519
<v Speaker 4>feet wet for the first two starts. I think it's

81
00:04:50.519 --> 00:04:52.439
<v Speaker 4>a little bit more comfortable, you know, maybe away from

82
00:04:52.480 --> 00:04:56.600
<v Speaker 4>you know, La, you know, all the what comes with that,

83
00:04:56.680 --> 00:04:58.439
<v Speaker 4>you know, But he thought he was going his fastball well,

84
00:04:58.480 --> 00:05:01.759
<v Speaker 4>and I think that changed from you know, the other audience.

85
00:05:02.120 --> 00:05:04.399
<v Speaker 1>Robers said that just you've been catching his bullpens and

86
00:05:04.399 --> 00:05:07.560
<v Speaker 1>the Relationshippy to our a building. In his last bullpen,

87
00:05:07.680 --> 00:05:09.560
<v Speaker 1>was there something that you saw that stood out to

88
00:05:10.199 --> 00:05:12.040
<v Speaker 1>about him that kind of led to this outing today?

89
00:05:12.319 --> 00:05:14.120
<v Speaker 3>I think he was just more convicted of his fastball.

90
00:05:14.160 --> 00:05:14.240
<v Speaker 5>You know.

91
00:05:14.279 --> 00:05:15.759
<v Speaker 4>I think in his bullpens he was working on was

92
00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:17.439
<v Speaker 4>grigging in ahead with the heater. You know, he's got

93
00:05:17.439 --> 00:05:19.519
<v Speaker 4>a good fastball, it's you know, it's upper nineties, it's

94
00:05:19.560 --> 00:05:21.639
<v Speaker 4>got life on it. And uh then he gets to

95
00:05:21.680 --> 00:05:24.199
<v Speaker 4>that you know, splitter, and you know his slider.

96
00:05:23.920 --> 00:05:24.240
<v Speaker 3>Is good too.

97
00:05:24.279 --> 00:05:25.920
<v Speaker 4>He's mixing some of those pitches in the slider and

98
00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:28.439
<v Speaker 4>I think he's got three good weapons. So you know,

99
00:05:28.439 --> 00:05:30.720
<v Speaker 4>when he's ahead, he's you know, he's tough on hitter,

100
00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:33.480
<v Speaker 4>especially when they have to respect that splitty. How important

101
00:05:33.560 --> 00:05:36.040
<v Speaker 4>was that it's always important to get ahead of your fastball?

102
00:05:36.120 --> 00:05:37.959
<v Speaker 3>Like, how important extra important were that for him?

103
00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:38.160
<v Speaker 6>Said?

104
00:05:38.199 --> 00:05:40.000
<v Speaker 2>I had just to build confidence and sort of set

105
00:05:40.079 --> 00:05:42.519
<v Speaker 2>up the splitter more so that they could couldn't just spit.

106
00:05:42.480 --> 00:05:43.839
<v Speaker 5>On it like they could early in the game.

107
00:05:44.040 --> 00:05:45.480
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, absolutely, And I think, you know, some of those

108
00:05:45.519 --> 00:05:47.800
<v Speaker 4>hitters still we're spinning on the on the splitter, you know.

109
00:05:47.759 --> 00:05:48.120
<v Speaker 7>So and U.

110
00:05:48.639 --> 00:05:49.800
<v Speaker 5>But he did some good fastballs.

111
00:05:49.800 --> 00:05:51.319
<v Speaker 4>You know, he he drilled something at the bottom of

112
00:05:51.319 --> 00:05:54.000
<v Speaker 4>his zone right through me. You know, I think I

113
00:05:54.000 --> 00:05:55.839
<v Speaker 4>think that's where he needs to be, you know, just

114
00:05:56.480 --> 00:05:59.680
<v Speaker 4>paying with the fastball and get head putting pressure on

115
00:05:59.680 --> 00:06:02.120
<v Speaker 4>those hits and making them respect that splitty because it's

116
00:06:02.160 --> 00:06:04.040
<v Speaker 4>one of the you know, it's it's a crazy bitch.

117
00:06:04.199 --> 00:06:06.920
<v Speaker 4>So and there's times where he was, you know, mixing

118
00:06:06.920 --> 00:06:08.920
<v Speaker 4>the slider slider into and I thought that was a

119
00:06:08.920 --> 00:06:12.560
<v Speaker 4>pretty good weapon too. So now a good start fro him,

120
00:06:12.759 --> 00:06:14.519
<v Speaker 4>I think, you know, later on, I think he'll probably

121
00:06:14.879 --> 00:06:17.439
<v Speaker 4>finish that himself. But you know, it was good down here.

122
00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:19.639
<v Speaker 1>Was there a point, like early in the game where

123
00:06:19.680 --> 00:06:21.399
<v Speaker 1>you could kind of tell that he was on today

124
00:06:21.439 --> 00:06:23.319
<v Speaker 1>in a little more mechanically like where.

125
00:06:23.199 --> 00:06:23.680
<v Speaker 5>He wanted to be.

126
00:06:23.800 --> 00:06:25.319
<v Speaker 4>I just thought he was in a good headspace. And

127
00:06:25.319 --> 00:06:26.879
<v Speaker 4>before we went out there, he said, told me let's go,

128
00:06:27.120 --> 00:06:29.959
<v Speaker 4>and I like to you know, it was good to see,

129
00:06:30.079 --> 00:06:32.000
<v Speaker 4>like just going out there and competing. I felt like

130
00:06:32.000 --> 00:06:34.199
<v Speaker 4>he was in a good spot and he did it.

131
00:06:34.240 --> 00:06:35.839
<v Speaker 4>You know, I think he went out there and they're

132
00:06:35.839 --> 00:06:37.240
<v Speaker 4>a tough lineup. You know, they got a lot of

133
00:06:37.240 --> 00:06:40.279
<v Speaker 4>good hitters, and I felt like he went out there

134
00:06:40.319 --> 00:06:40.920
<v Speaker 4>and he competed.

135
00:06:42.360 --> 00:06:45.639
<v Speaker 2>All right, there's Austin Barnes, Dodger catcher who really helped

136
00:06:45.639 --> 00:06:49.680
<v Speaker 2>Broki Sazaki today get into the fifth inning. Sazaki came

137
00:06:49.720 --> 00:06:54.160
<v Speaker 2>out after throwing about sixty He threw sixty.

138
00:06:53.879 --> 00:06:54.720
<v Speaker 3>Eight pitches today.

139
00:06:54.800 --> 00:06:57.879
<v Speaker 2>Forty one of those were strikes, four plus innings, one

140
00:06:57.959 --> 00:07:02.519
<v Speaker 2>ear and run, and more importantly, only two walks. Eight six, six, nine,

141
00:07:02.560 --> 00:07:05.639
<v Speaker 2>eight seven two five seventy is the phone number. Jose

142
00:07:05.800 --> 00:07:08.519
<v Speaker 2>Moto will join us in ten minutes. And also you'll

143
00:07:08.600 --> 00:07:11.839
<v Speaker 2>hear part of my conversation with Keith Hernandez, who hit

144
00:07:11.839 --> 00:07:14.560
<v Speaker 2>a two run home run today in the second inning.

145
00:07:14.639 --> 00:07:18.040
<v Speaker 2>But before we get to all that, where are my

146
00:07:18.199 --> 00:07:19.800
<v Speaker 2>Max Mounsey haters tonight?

147
00:07:20.439 --> 00:07:23.000
<v Speaker 3>Where are they? I don't know where this came from.

148
00:07:23.079 --> 00:07:25.600
<v Speaker 2>Where everybody now all of a sudden wants to hate

149
00:07:25.600 --> 00:07:29.399
<v Speaker 2>on Max Mounsey. We're only ten games into the season,

150
00:07:29.839 --> 00:07:32.199
<v Speaker 2>and yes, he had a rough night at Dodger Stadium

151
00:07:32.240 --> 00:07:35.160
<v Speaker 2>on Wednesday, and yes he's off to a little bit

152
00:07:35.199 --> 00:07:39.639
<v Speaker 2>of a slow start offensively, But really, are we just

153
00:07:39.720 --> 00:07:43.959
<v Speaker 2>going to disregard everything Max Mounsey has done since the

154
00:07:43.959 --> 00:07:47.399
<v Speaker 2>beginning of twenty eighteen. Are we just going to disregard

155
00:07:47.480 --> 00:07:49.160
<v Speaker 2>that he has put in a lot of work to

156
00:07:49.240 --> 00:07:53.040
<v Speaker 2>be a better defensive third baseman. He's lost a lot

157
00:07:53.079 --> 00:07:56.879
<v Speaker 2>away coming into spring training, he's kept it off and yeah,

158
00:07:57.000 --> 00:07:59.920
<v Speaker 2>the ninth inning, that was another tough play that he

159
00:08:00.160 --> 00:08:03.319
<v Speaker 2>wasn't able to make on a ball hit by Bryce Harper,

160
00:08:03.480 --> 00:08:07.439
<v Speaker 2>and the Dodgers were very fortunate that the Phillies cooperated

161
00:08:07.639 --> 00:08:12.120
<v Speaker 2>after the air by Monsey boomed. Kepler and Castillanos saw

162
00:08:12.279 --> 00:08:15.920
<v Speaker 2>a total of three pitches after the air by by Monthsey,

163
00:08:16.160 --> 00:08:18.519
<v Speaker 2>and actually they didn't give Munsey an.

164
00:08:18.480 --> 00:08:19.879
<v Speaker 3>Air, they gave Harper a hit.

165
00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:24.519
<v Speaker 2>But I like that Mony Monsey's body language was much

166
00:08:24.519 --> 00:08:28.279
<v Speaker 2>better than what we saw Wednesday night in Philadelphia. Monsey

167
00:08:28.399 --> 00:08:31.879
<v Speaker 2>today three for four with a double. I just think

168
00:08:31.920 --> 00:08:36.519
<v Speaker 2>everybody needs to just, you know, take it easy on

169
00:08:36.679 --> 00:08:40.519
<v Speaker 2>Max Mounsey. Uh, let's let the season breathe a little bit.

170
00:08:40.759 --> 00:08:44.519
<v Speaker 2>And if this is if he's hitting two hundred and

171
00:08:45.080 --> 00:08:49.000
<v Speaker 2>a little unsteady at third base after fifty games, then okay,

172
00:08:49.039 --> 00:08:52.720
<v Speaker 2>we can have a conversation, but really, after the first

173
00:08:52.720 --> 00:08:55.120
<v Speaker 2>ten games, we're gonna start hating on Max Monsey.

174
00:08:55.200 --> 00:08:57.519
<v Speaker 3>Where are you now? Where are you now?

175
00:08:57.919 --> 00:09:01.360
<v Speaker 2>Eight six, six, nine, eight seven seventy? Dodgers beat the

176
00:09:01.360 --> 00:09:04.279
<v Speaker 2>Phillies today three to one. Let's go out to Luke,

177
00:09:04.519 --> 00:09:06.480
<v Speaker 2>who was actually here at the ballpark.

178
00:09:06.519 --> 00:09:07.279
<v Speaker 3>How you doing, Luke?

179
00:09:08.360 --> 00:09:08.639
<v Speaker 5>Good?

180
00:09:08.679 --> 00:09:09.240
<v Speaker 8>How are you doing?

181
00:09:09.320 --> 00:09:09.639
<v Speaker 3>David?

182
00:09:10.720 --> 00:09:13.559
<v Speaker 2>Are you from Jersey like our caller from yesterday, or

183
00:09:13.600 --> 00:09:16.399
<v Speaker 2>are you a Dodger fan living in the heart of Philadelphia.

184
00:09:18.120 --> 00:09:20.759
<v Speaker 5>I'm a Dodger fan living in the heart of Philadelphia.

185
00:09:21.720 --> 00:09:24.799
<v Speaker 3>Oh I love it. I love it. So are you

186
00:09:24.799 --> 00:09:25.840
<v Speaker 3>coming back tomorrow?

187
00:09:27.879 --> 00:09:27.960
<v Speaker 8>No?

188
00:09:28.159 --> 00:09:29.679
<v Speaker 6>Unfortunately, not just for today.

189
00:09:29.759 --> 00:09:31.080
<v Speaker 8>But it was good to see it win.

190
00:09:32.200 --> 00:09:33.879
<v Speaker 3>Yeah it was. And I'm just curious.

191
00:09:33.879 --> 00:09:37.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure you wear your Dodger blue LA cap around town.

192
00:09:37.519 --> 00:09:41.519
<v Speaker 2>What's the reaction from Phillies fans with the Dodgers being

193
00:09:41.600 --> 00:09:44.399
<v Speaker 2>the so called evil empire these days?

194
00:09:45.000 --> 00:09:45.240
<v Speaker 1>You know?

195
00:09:45.559 --> 00:09:48.320
<v Speaker 5>I mean, obviously you're gonna get hated on just because

196
00:09:48.320 --> 00:09:49.320
<v Speaker 5>you're winning.

197
00:09:49.799 --> 00:09:52.840
<v Speaker 6>Everyone hates when you win. But just keep your head

198
00:09:52.879 --> 00:09:54.360
<v Speaker 6>high and let all the haters hate.

199
00:09:55.320 --> 00:09:58.600
<v Speaker 2>That's such a cliche answer, Luke. Just come on, be

200
00:09:58.679 --> 00:10:01.840
<v Speaker 2>honest with me. When you're walking in Rittenhouse Square, or

201
00:10:01.919 --> 00:10:04.399
<v Speaker 2>if you're by the Rocky Steps, or you're getting a

202
00:10:04.440 --> 00:10:08.000
<v Speaker 2>Philly cheese steak at Pat's or Geno's or wherever the

203
00:10:08.039 --> 00:10:11.399
<v Speaker 2>local spot is. What's the reaction. Do they start hollering

204
00:10:11.440 --> 00:10:13.480
<v Speaker 2>at you, cussing at you? What's the reaction?

205
00:10:14.360 --> 00:10:16.600
<v Speaker 6>I mean, I'm being honest, like they chirp at me

206
00:10:16.639 --> 00:10:18.600
<v Speaker 6>a little bit, but I mean I just take it

207
00:10:18.639 --> 00:10:20.519
<v Speaker 6>like a champ because I know that we're the best

208
00:10:20.559 --> 00:10:21.399
<v Speaker 6>team in the MLB.

209
00:10:21.759 --> 00:10:23.679
<v Speaker 8>Like I don't know what else you want me to say.

210
00:10:24.320 --> 00:10:25.759
<v Speaker 3>All Right, Luke, all right.

211
00:10:25.679 --> 00:10:28.200
<v Speaker 2>I like it you You take it like a champ

212
00:10:28.480 --> 00:10:31.960
<v Speaker 2>because the Dodgers are champs. That's why eight six six

213
00:10:32.120 --> 00:10:34.879
<v Speaker 2>nine eight seven two five seventy is the phone number.

214
00:10:35.200 --> 00:10:38.279
<v Speaker 2>Gotta give love, We gotta do a bullpen roll call Today,

215
00:10:38.480 --> 00:10:42.519
<v Speaker 2>after Roki Sazaki got into the fifth inning, Anthony Banda

216
00:10:42.639 --> 00:10:43.320
<v Speaker 2>came in and.

217
00:10:43.200 --> 00:10:45.480
<v Speaker 3>Put out the fire. He gets the win.

218
00:10:45.679 --> 00:10:49.120
<v Speaker 2>Ben Casparius still has not allowed an earn run all

219
00:10:49.200 --> 00:10:53.720
<v Speaker 2>season long. He pitched two scoreless innings. Alex Vesia set

220
00:10:53.799 --> 00:10:57.399
<v Speaker 2>up Tanner Scott's third save after pitching a scoreless eighth inning,

221
00:10:57.440 --> 00:11:00.279
<v Speaker 2>and he came up with a big out in the

222
00:11:00.320 --> 00:11:02.720
<v Speaker 2>eighth inning after getting the first two outs the eight

223
00:11:02.720 --> 00:11:07.120
<v Speaker 2>to nine hitters Stott and Marsh, he did walk Kyle Schwarber,

224
00:11:07.200 --> 00:11:09.480
<v Speaker 2>and at that point in time, it's a two run

225
00:11:09.559 --> 00:11:13.240
<v Speaker 2>ball game. So when you walk somebody, especially at the

226
00:11:13.240 --> 00:11:16.120
<v Speaker 2>top of the order, you're taking a chance. Because Trey

227
00:11:16.200 --> 00:11:18.360
<v Speaker 2>Turner can pop one out. He could pull one down

228
00:11:18.399 --> 00:11:22.120
<v Speaker 2>the line, down the left field line like Keik Hernandez did,

229
00:11:22.440 --> 00:11:25.399
<v Speaker 2>so he was representing the tying run. He was able

230
00:11:25.440 --> 00:11:28.759
<v Speaker 2>to strike out Turner because not only could Turner tie

231
00:11:28.759 --> 00:11:31.240
<v Speaker 2>the game up, he could get on base and Bryce

232
00:11:31.279 --> 00:11:35.320
<v Speaker 2>Harper could come up representing the go ahead run right

233
00:11:35.360 --> 00:11:37.200
<v Speaker 2>there in the bottom of the eighth inning. So that

234
00:11:37.320 --> 00:11:40.279
<v Speaker 2>was a big out for Vesia not to see Harper

235
00:11:40.320 --> 00:11:43.279
<v Speaker 2>with runners on base. Eight six, six nine, eight seven

236
00:11:43.360 --> 00:11:46.200
<v Speaker 2>two five seventy is the phone number. Let's head back

237
00:11:46.200 --> 00:11:49.799
<v Speaker 2>downstairs to the Dodger Clubhouse to hear from manager Dave Roberts.

238
00:11:50.639 --> 00:11:54.919
<v Speaker 7>He settling nicely. I thought there was a lot more

239
00:11:55.120 --> 00:11:59.519
<v Speaker 7>consistent Shrike throwing with both both of his pitches. Got

240
00:11:59.559 --> 00:12:03.080
<v Speaker 7>a lot of a miss some soft contact managed at

241
00:12:03.159 --> 00:12:05.320
<v Speaker 7>first inning and recovered nicely.

242
00:12:06.000 --> 00:12:09.039
<v Speaker 1>Did you see that just his demeanor change or just

243
00:12:09.120 --> 00:12:11.960
<v Speaker 1>kind of even maybe just the control he had kind

244
00:12:12.000 --> 00:12:12.840
<v Speaker 1>of came back to him.

245
00:12:13.240 --> 00:12:13.639
<v Speaker 3>I think so.

246
00:12:14.200 --> 00:12:17.399
<v Speaker 7>I thought that as the game went on, he continued

247
00:12:17.440 --> 00:12:22.399
<v Speaker 7>to gain confidence and just kept his composure, his poise,

248
00:12:23.039 --> 00:12:25.320
<v Speaker 7>and just kept executing pitchures. I thought Austin did a

249
00:12:25.320 --> 00:12:26.320
<v Speaker 7>great job with him today.

250
00:12:26.759 --> 00:12:29.200
<v Speaker 9>How much do you think he needed to have that

251
00:12:29.360 --> 00:12:31.320
<v Speaker 9>kind of run out and he needed it.

252
00:12:31.480 --> 00:12:32.120
<v Speaker 8>He needed it.

253
00:12:32.120 --> 00:12:34.679
<v Speaker 7>He probably won't let on how much he needed it,

254
00:12:34.720 --> 00:12:37.639
<v Speaker 7>but you know, to get a major league start, and

255
00:12:37.720 --> 00:12:41.120
<v Speaker 7>given how the how the first couple went to have

256
00:12:41.200 --> 00:12:45.159
<v Speaker 7>some success and leave the game with the lead, I

257
00:12:45.200 --> 00:12:48.840
<v Speaker 7>think that was certainly a big positive form and also

258
00:12:49.039 --> 00:12:51.559
<v Speaker 7>just you know, building block for him, you know for

259
00:12:51.600 --> 00:12:52.360
<v Speaker 7>his next outing.

260
00:12:52.639 --> 00:12:56.320
<v Speaker 6>How much he got in your mind taking him out at.

261
00:12:56.200 --> 00:12:59.240
<v Speaker 3>That point, that was some of it.

262
00:13:00.559 --> 00:13:03.879
<v Speaker 7>I thought that, you know, even up to that point

263
00:13:04.120 --> 00:13:07.919
<v Speaker 7>he pitched a really good ballgame. He hadn't gone the

264
00:13:08.000 --> 00:13:10.120
<v Speaker 7>third inning, let alone the fourth inning of the fifth

265
00:13:10.159 --> 00:13:13.919
<v Speaker 7>inning up to this point, and so just knowing we

266
00:13:14.000 --> 00:13:17.320
<v Speaker 7>had some help behind him, I thought that was a

267
00:13:17.360 --> 00:13:21.200
<v Speaker 7>good spot for Banda And I thought Roki did everything

268
00:13:21.200 --> 00:13:24.240
<v Speaker 7>he could and needed to do at that point in

269
00:13:24.320 --> 00:13:28.799
<v Speaker 7>time and just kind of leaving the outing wanting for more.

270
00:13:29.039 --> 00:13:30.360
<v Speaker 7>I think that's a good thing for him.

271
00:13:31.519 --> 00:13:34.759
<v Speaker 2>All right, there's Dave Roberts on Roki Sazaki, and yes

272
00:13:34.879 --> 00:13:37.679
<v Speaker 2>he didn't complete five innings, but it was much better

273
00:13:37.720 --> 00:13:40.639
<v Speaker 2>than his last start where he couldn't even get out

274
00:13:40.720 --> 00:13:43.720
<v Speaker 2>of the second inning. So with Tyler glassnew on the

275
00:13:43.759 --> 00:13:46.799
<v Speaker 2>mound tomorrow, you would expect Glass now to be able

276
00:13:46.840 --> 00:13:49.720
<v Speaker 2>to give the Dodgers at least six innings and take

277
00:13:49.759 --> 00:13:52.720
<v Speaker 2>some burden off that bullpen that was used quite a

278
00:13:52.799 --> 00:13:57.039
<v Speaker 2>bit today. Bonda, Caspirius, Vesia and Tanner Scott had to

279
00:13:57.080 --> 00:14:02.320
<v Speaker 2>cover basically five innings of work today after Sazaki could

280
00:14:02.320 --> 00:14:04.759
<v Speaker 2>not get an out in the fifth inning. But the

281
00:14:04.799 --> 00:14:07.879
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers go on to beat Philadelphia three to one in

282
00:14:07.919 --> 00:14:10.600
<v Speaker 2>the middle game of this three game series. Let's go

283
00:14:10.639 --> 00:14:14.240
<v Speaker 2>out to Brea Mark. You're on Dodger Talk Live from Philly.

284
00:14:14.279 --> 00:14:15.159
<v Speaker 2>How you doing, Mark?

285
00:14:16.120 --> 00:14:16.960
<v Speaker 5>Hey, I'm doing well.

286
00:14:17.000 --> 00:14:17.519
<v Speaker 8>How are you?

287
00:14:17.600 --> 00:14:19.399
<v Speaker 5>Got a couple of comments here? I loved how you

288
00:14:19.440 --> 00:14:23.320
<v Speaker 5>were defending Munsi. I think people overlook the fact that

289
00:14:23.360 --> 00:14:26.039
<v Speaker 5>this guy draws out the pitchers a big part of

290
00:14:26.120 --> 00:14:28.759
<v Speaker 5>Dodger plan. Right, takes a lot of pitches, got a

291
00:14:28.799 --> 00:14:31.000
<v Speaker 5>great eye at the plate and gets that big clutch

292
00:14:31.039 --> 00:14:33.559
<v Speaker 5>in so I love the some Max Bunci, but I

293
00:14:33.600 --> 00:14:36.440
<v Speaker 5>did wonder like Chris Taylor. I mean, they just picked

294
00:14:36.519 --> 00:14:40.480
<v Speaker 5>up this kid, Ruiz. He's speedy, he's got flexibility on defense.

295
00:14:41.000 --> 00:14:43.360
<v Speaker 5>The contract is big, but not that big. I'm wondering

296
00:14:43.399 --> 00:14:47.279
<v Speaker 5>if they're thinking about maybe kind of get rid of Taylor,

297
00:14:47.360 --> 00:14:52.120
<v Speaker 5>moving on from him because he absolutely cannot hit well.

298
00:14:52.399 --> 00:14:56.159
<v Speaker 2>Chris Taylor is the twenty sixth man on the bench, right,

299
00:14:56.200 --> 00:14:58.879
<v Speaker 2>and I know who you're talking about, Ostereo Ruiz, who

300
00:14:58.960 --> 00:15:01.759
<v Speaker 2>stole sixty plus spaces a couple of years ago for

301
00:15:01.840 --> 00:15:05.039
<v Speaker 2>the A's and he's been added to the forty man roster.

302
00:15:05.159 --> 00:15:09.039
<v Speaker 2>But look, he's a center field depth for the Dodgers

303
00:15:09.039 --> 00:15:11.759
<v Speaker 2>in the minor leagues. If they call up Kim and

304
00:15:11.799 --> 00:15:15.600
<v Speaker 2>that's the guy that you know, Kim and Pop, excuse me,

305
00:15:15.679 --> 00:15:19.240
<v Speaker 2>Taylor and Paz should be concerned about because from what

306
00:15:19.320 --> 00:15:22.120
<v Speaker 2>I've been told, his new swing is really starting to

307
00:15:22.159 --> 00:15:25.240
<v Speaker 2>take hold, and he's playing great defense at second, at short,

308
00:15:25.320 --> 00:15:29.279
<v Speaker 2>in center fields. So you know, if that continues and

309
00:15:29.360 --> 00:15:33.960
<v Speaker 2>Paz continues to struggle, he may be in jeopardy of

310
00:15:34.039 --> 00:15:37.559
<v Speaker 2>being sent down to get his season on track. Chris Taylor,

311
00:15:37.879 --> 00:15:40.600
<v Speaker 2>I don't see him going anywhere, Mark, I really don't.

312
00:15:40.799 --> 00:15:44.080
<v Speaker 2>He's on this team for right now, but we'll see

313
00:15:44.080 --> 00:15:47.000
<v Speaker 2>where it goes. But Chris Taylor's going to be on

314
00:15:47.039 --> 00:15:51.200
<v Speaker 2>this team for the majority of the season at least.

315
00:15:52.000 --> 00:15:55.639
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I get it. But why he really gives because.

316
00:15:55.360 --> 00:15:57.440
<v Speaker 3>He's making fifteen million dollars.

317
00:15:58.000 --> 00:16:00.799
<v Speaker 2>He's making fifteen million dollars on the last year and

318
00:16:00.879 --> 00:16:02.120
<v Speaker 2>money plays.

319
00:16:02.960 --> 00:16:05.440
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I get it, all right, Thank you?

320
00:16:05.519 --> 00:16:08.080
<v Speaker 2>Okay, Mark, thanks for the phone call. Appreciate it. Yeah,

321
00:16:08.080 --> 00:16:10.200
<v Speaker 2>I mean, now we're talking about Chris Taylor. He's the

322
00:16:10.240 --> 00:16:13.240
<v Speaker 2>twenty sixth man on the bench. He's had one start

323
00:16:13.320 --> 00:16:14.879
<v Speaker 2>and it was against Chris Sale.

324
00:16:15.200 --> 00:16:15.799
<v Speaker 3>Thanks a lot.

325
00:16:16.159 --> 00:16:19.600
<v Speaker 2>Let's go out to Dave and Glendale. You're on Dodger Talk.

326
00:16:19.639 --> 00:16:22.759
<v Speaker 2>How you doing, Dave, what's going on that day?

327
00:16:22.879 --> 00:16:23.440
<v Speaker 5>How you doing?

328
00:16:24.639 --> 00:16:27.759
<v Speaker 2>I'm doing great. I love Philly. I love Philly. When

329
00:16:27.799 --> 00:16:28.960
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers beat Philly.

330
00:16:30.320 --> 00:16:32.879
<v Speaker 5>Nice? Nice. Yeah. I just wanted to kind of add

331
00:16:32.879 --> 00:16:34.679
<v Speaker 5>on to what Mark was talking about with the whole

332
00:16:34.759 --> 00:16:37.879
<v Speaker 5>monthly deal. Man. I know it's it's only ten games

333
00:16:37.919 --> 00:16:40.919
<v Speaker 5>into the season, and you know, to be quite honest,

334
00:16:40.960 --> 00:16:43.799
<v Speaker 5>he's not the only one that's clearly struggling, right now

335
00:16:44.039 --> 00:16:47.960
<v Speaker 5>you know, but Max, the strength aren't on his defensive

336
00:16:48.080 --> 00:16:51.000
<v Speaker 5>ends his strength. His strength, he's got number one's got

337
00:16:51.039 --> 00:16:54.360
<v Speaker 5>light power, power, right, and he's gonna see a lot

338
00:16:54.360 --> 00:16:58.320
<v Speaker 5>of pitches. Do we not forget that he set a

339
00:16:58.399 --> 00:17:02.200
<v Speaker 5>record for most games in the playoffs of successfully getting

340
00:17:02.240 --> 00:17:04.960
<v Speaker 5>on base right, that was only a few months ago.

341
00:17:04.839 --> 00:17:05.920
<v Speaker 3>During the NLCS.

342
00:17:06.119 --> 00:17:10.599
<v Speaker 5>During the NLCS, absolutely, so, as Dodger's nation, we got

343
00:17:10.720 --> 00:17:12.680
<v Speaker 5>to be patient with him.

344
00:17:13.680 --> 00:17:14.960
<v Speaker 3>I mean, he does have a resume.

345
00:17:15.039 --> 00:17:16.880
<v Speaker 2>It's not his first year on the team, so I

346
00:17:16.960 --> 00:17:19.480
<v Speaker 2>believe we all know what we're getting with Max Munsey.

347
00:17:19.720 --> 00:17:23.880
<v Speaker 2>And yeah, exactly what I've said. He is the best

348
00:17:23.920 --> 00:17:28.039
<v Speaker 2>example of the s being greater than the parts. He

349
00:17:28.200 --> 00:17:31.880
<v Speaker 2>has a function in this lineup that is not always

350
00:17:31.960 --> 00:17:34.279
<v Speaker 2>obvious because there's a lot of guys that swing at

351
00:17:34.319 --> 00:17:37.319
<v Speaker 2>the first pitch or early in the count, and Max Munsey,

352
00:17:37.400 --> 00:17:40.160
<v Speaker 2>when he's hitting a little higher in the lineup, he

353
00:17:40.200 --> 00:17:43.480
<v Speaker 2>does see more pitches and makes the starting pitcher.

354
00:17:43.640 --> 00:17:44.839
<v Speaker 3>Work a little bit more.

355
00:17:45.039 --> 00:17:45.160
<v Speaker 1>So.

356
00:17:45.519 --> 00:17:48.559
<v Speaker 2>He he is a three true outcome player, but I

357
00:17:48.640 --> 00:17:51.440
<v Speaker 2>believe that he can hold his own defensively at third base.

358
00:17:51.480 --> 00:17:55.960
<v Speaker 3>Two. What was your other point, Dave? What's your other point?

359
00:17:57.319 --> 00:18:02.640
<v Speaker 5>Try to get them playing time at center field, and maybe.

360
00:18:03.359 --> 00:18:05.119
<v Speaker 2>Why do you want to see him get Why do

361
00:18:05.160 --> 00:18:07.680
<v Speaker 2>you want to see him get playing time? Did you

362
00:18:07.720 --> 00:18:09.759
<v Speaker 2>watch him play in Oakland? Are you a big fan

363
00:18:09.839 --> 00:18:12.559
<v Speaker 2>of his? Have you ever seen him play one pitch

364
00:18:12.640 --> 00:18:13.240
<v Speaker 2>or one inning?

365
00:18:14.839 --> 00:18:18.200
<v Speaker 5>I actually have it, but I just read Scott you.

366
00:18:18.279 --> 00:18:20.720
<v Speaker 2>Haven't seen him play, but you really want to have

367
00:18:20.839 --> 00:18:21.599
<v Speaker 2>him called up?

368
00:18:22.599 --> 00:18:25.039
<v Speaker 3>Come on? I love you, Dave, but come on, come on.

369
00:18:25.119 --> 00:18:27.400
<v Speaker 3>That's just that's just hearing his name.

370
00:18:27.720 --> 00:18:31.160
<v Speaker 2>That's just hearing his name and saying, ah, this guy's

371
00:18:31.200 --> 00:18:32.559
<v Speaker 2>got to be in the starting lineup.

372
00:18:32.599 --> 00:18:32.799
<v Speaker 3>Now.

373
00:18:32.799 --> 00:18:35.680
<v Speaker 2>That's not the reason why the Dodgers made the trade

374
00:18:35.720 --> 00:18:39.920
<v Speaker 2>for him. Remember Tim Locastro a few postseasons ago. The

375
00:18:39.960 --> 00:18:42.759
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers called him up in September and he was the

376
00:18:42.799 --> 00:18:44.759
<v Speaker 2>last guy on the bench to be used as a

377
00:18:44.799 --> 00:18:47.920
<v Speaker 2>pinch runner in the playoffs. That's what the Dodgers are

378
00:18:47.920 --> 00:18:50.680
<v Speaker 2>thinking here. And also, like I said, he gives them

379
00:18:50.720 --> 00:18:52.559
<v Speaker 2>depth at Triple A.

380
00:18:55.119 --> 00:18:57.359
<v Speaker 3>I like you feel me?

381
00:18:58.799 --> 00:19:00.440
<v Speaker 6>I do all right?

382
00:19:00.559 --> 00:19:03.359
<v Speaker 2>Thank you, Dave, appreciate the phone call. Eight six six

383
00:19:04.000 --> 00:19:07.400
<v Speaker 2>seven two five seventy is the phone number. Dodgers beat

384
00:19:07.400 --> 00:19:10.720
<v Speaker 2>the Phillies today three to one. Austin Barnes catches a

385
00:19:10.759 --> 00:19:14.440
<v Speaker 2>great game to help Rokey Sazaki get through four plus

386
00:19:14.519 --> 00:19:17.559
<v Speaker 2>innings and only walk to Let's go out to Claremont.

387
00:19:17.839 --> 00:19:20.079
<v Speaker 3>Danny, you're on Dodger Talk. How you doing, Danny.

388
00:19:21.279 --> 00:19:23.680
<v Speaker 8>I'm doing great. Dave's great to talk to you again. Man,

389
00:19:23.680 --> 00:19:26.440
<v Speaker 8>it's my first call this season. I'm so excited to

390
00:19:26.519 --> 00:19:28.039
<v Speaker 8>get back on the best show on the radio.

391
00:19:28.720 --> 00:19:30.680
<v Speaker 3>And hey, I've been waiting for you, Danny.

392
00:19:31.799 --> 00:19:33.680
<v Speaker 8>Oh awesome, man, thank you so much. I've been waiting

393
00:19:33.720 --> 00:19:36.960
<v Speaker 8>for YouTube, buddy. And I listened to the game in

394
00:19:37.000 --> 00:19:39.480
<v Speaker 8>the back of the shop today working on guitars, and

395
00:19:39.519 --> 00:19:42.039
<v Speaker 8>when I heard that Austin Barnes is in the lineup,

396
00:19:42.480 --> 00:19:47.000
<v Speaker 8>and I got excited. That's for Rokie Sazaki in my opinion.

397
00:19:47.039 --> 00:19:49.119
<v Speaker 8>You know, Austin Barnes is one of the most underrated,

398
00:19:50.160 --> 00:19:53.640
<v Speaker 8>most valuable players in the league. Definitely on the team.

399
00:19:54.039 --> 00:19:56.279
<v Speaker 8>You know, he's basically like having an extension of the

400
00:19:56.319 --> 00:20:00.519
<v Speaker 8>coaching and scouting staff in the field. You know, he

401
00:20:00.559 --> 00:20:03.000
<v Speaker 8>makes a tremendous difference to the team in ways that

402
00:20:03.039 --> 00:20:05.440
<v Speaker 8>are not going to be measured in in the staff

403
00:20:05.440 --> 00:20:07.079
<v Speaker 8>book for the scorecard. You know, he's not gonna put

404
00:20:07.119 --> 00:20:08.839
<v Speaker 8>up tons of War. He's not going to hit three

405
00:20:08.920 --> 00:20:11.319
<v Speaker 8>hundred and do all that other stuff, but the value

406
00:20:11.319 --> 00:20:13.799
<v Speaker 8>he brings to this team is immense. And there's a reason,

407
00:20:13.839 --> 00:20:16.039
<v Speaker 8>you know, at this point he is the longest tenured

408
00:20:16.759 --> 00:20:19.559
<v Speaker 8>position player on the team. He's got to be one

409
00:20:19.599 --> 00:20:22.559
<v Speaker 8>of the best backup catchers in baseball. And I love

410
00:20:22.599 --> 00:20:24.359
<v Speaker 8>the idea if that's if this is what they're going

411
00:20:24.440 --> 00:20:26.480
<v Speaker 8>to do, is is you know, given give him Sasaki,

412
00:20:26.680 --> 00:20:30.039
<v Speaker 8>given Barnes. Given Sasaki to Barnes and letting him work

413
00:20:30.079 --> 00:20:32.480
<v Speaker 8>with him, because that's that's something that could help this kid.

414
00:20:32.599 --> 00:20:34.000
<v Speaker 8>It's just going to take time for him to find

415
00:20:34.279 --> 00:20:36.599
<v Speaker 8>to find his place in this league. But Austin Barnes

416
00:20:36.680 --> 00:20:38.240
<v Speaker 8>is the kind of guy that can help you help

417
00:20:38.240 --> 00:20:40.039
<v Speaker 8>a young pitcher find his place in the league. So

418
00:20:40.079 --> 00:20:41.960
<v Speaker 8>I just was really excited about that, Dick said to

419
00:20:41.960 --> 00:20:45.640
<v Speaker 8>Austin Barnes, and you know, go Dodgers man, love it.

420
00:20:45.720 --> 00:20:49.559
<v Speaker 2>Danny call back any time, and yeah, look, Roki Sazaki's

421
00:20:49.599 --> 00:20:52.799
<v Speaker 2>confidence was probably at an all time low. They needed

422
00:20:52.839 --> 00:20:55.839
<v Speaker 2>to get him some confidence with some good results, and

423
00:20:56.079 --> 00:21:01.079
<v Speaker 2>Austin Barnes was a great option to help Sazaki get

424
00:21:01.079 --> 00:21:03.680
<v Speaker 2>through this start. Now, does that mean that Barnes is

425
00:21:03.680 --> 00:21:06.720
<v Speaker 2>going to be the only one that catches Suzaki. I

426
00:21:06.759 --> 00:21:10.200
<v Speaker 2>don't see that taking shape the whole year, but I

427
00:21:10.240 --> 00:21:12.880
<v Speaker 2>could see Barnes catching the next two or three starts,

428
00:21:12.960 --> 00:21:15.119
<v Speaker 2>just to get him on a roll and get him comfortable.

429
00:21:15.519 --> 00:21:18.400
<v Speaker 2>Eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy is

430

00:22:54.359 --> 00:22:58.279
<v Speaker 2>next game. Daniels Jewelers own the Dream.

459
00:22:58.880 --> 00:23:02.759
<v Speaker 3>It's time to go around the horn with Jose Mota.

460
00:23:04.279 --> 00:23:05.559
<v Speaker 3>All right, Jose Mota.

461
00:23:05.720 --> 00:23:08.960
<v Speaker 2>The Dodgers even up the books in this series with

462
00:23:09.000 --> 00:23:12.279
<v Speaker 2>the home runs from Kei k and Michael Conforto. But

463
00:23:12.400 --> 00:23:16.599
<v Speaker 2>all eyes were on Roki Sazaki, so he earns another start,

464
00:23:17.799 --> 00:23:18.440
<v Speaker 2>Yes he does.

465
00:23:18.480 --> 00:23:20.559
<v Speaker 6>And all eyes were in the combination which you mentioned

466
00:23:20.559 --> 00:23:26.160
<v Speaker 6>before the game about Austin Barnes, and we talked about

467
00:23:26.160 --> 00:23:29.640
<v Speaker 6>this last night. It goes back to commanding the fastball.

468
00:23:29.680 --> 00:23:33.039
<v Speaker 6>And then Austin Barnes talked about that fastball about six

469
00:23:33.039 --> 00:23:37.200
<v Speaker 6>seven times during his you know, his media session. So, David,

470
00:23:37.400 --> 00:23:40.119
<v Speaker 6>if you think about the thing that he fixed in

471
00:23:40.160 --> 00:23:43.200
<v Speaker 6>that bullpen session or bullpen sessions, I should say he's

472
00:23:43.240 --> 00:23:45.319
<v Speaker 6>a guy that though he is very tall, he cannot

473
00:23:45.319 --> 00:23:47.400
<v Speaker 6>pitch tall. And in other words, is he needs that

474
00:23:47.480 --> 00:23:50.359
<v Speaker 6>bottom half to drive through because that puts from a

475
00:23:50.440 --> 00:23:53.759
<v Speaker 6>very good direction. And for Austin Barnes, what was most

476
00:23:53.839 --> 00:23:56.839
<v Speaker 6>noticeable to me today was when he saw a lot

477
00:23:56.839 --> 00:24:00.799
<v Speaker 6>of armsite running that fastball, he stood the outer half

478
00:24:00.839 --> 00:24:03.240
<v Speaker 6>to allow the fastil to naturally do what was whatever's

479
00:24:03.240 --> 00:24:04.839
<v Speaker 6>going to do, do the very fine job at least

480
00:24:04.880 --> 00:24:07.039
<v Speaker 6>reading what the ball was doing out of his hands.

481
00:24:07.680 --> 00:24:10.480
<v Speaker 2>So what you're basically saying is something that we hear

482
00:24:10.559 --> 00:24:13.880
<v Speaker 2>from pitching coaches and pitchers when they talk about being

483
00:24:14.000 --> 00:24:15.599
<v Speaker 2>more in their legs.

484
00:24:16.480 --> 00:24:18.720
<v Speaker 6>Be more on your legs, make sure you're tired after

485
00:24:18.759 --> 00:24:21.200
<v Speaker 6>the game. You know, for some guys it's like go

486
00:24:21.240 --> 00:24:22.920
<v Speaker 6>out there and ice your legs too when you have

487
00:24:23.000 --> 00:24:25.759
<v Speaker 6>to get into in the cold pool. And it is right.

488
00:24:26.359 --> 00:24:29.599
<v Speaker 6>I watched him compare some video of the outing in Tokyo.

489
00:24:29.680 --> 00:24:31.559
<v Speaker 6>We had a lot of run in that fastball, like

490
00:24:31.680 --> 00:24:33.880
<v Speaker 6>it was giddy up one hundred and one oh one,

491
00:24:34.240 --> 00:24:37.200
<v Speaker 6>and he didn't have a lot of run sideways after that.

492
00:24:37.559 --> 00:24:40.519
<v Speaker 6>Since he's like kind of almost aiming, I would say

493
00:24:40.559 --> 00:24:42.880
<v Speaker 6>the velocity is down a little bit. Is where he's

494
00:24:42.920 --> 00:24:45.599
<v Speaker 6>lost his legs because the arm slade is not catching

495
00:24:45.680 --> 00:24:48.359
<v Speaker 6>up with it, and have your legs you need to

496
00:24:48.440 --> 00:24:51.200
<v Speaker 6>drive through when if he freeze any of his images

497
00:24:51.279 --> 00:24:54.400
<v Speaker 6>and spring training throwing bullpens, watch how low he is

498
00:24:54.440 --> 00:24:56.279
<v Speaker 6>to the ground when he lived reivers. When he is

499
00:24:56.319 --> 00:24:58.240
<v Speaker 6>in a good spot to go out there and carry

500
00:24:58.279 --> 00:25:01.319
<v Speaker 6>on and make the split at pitch that they're not

501
00:25:01.359 --> 00:25:02.160
<v Speaker 6>going to be spitting on.

502
00:25:03.039 --> 00:25:05.880
<v Speaker 2>Jose Mota is joining us on Dodger Talk after the

503
00:25:05.920 --> 00:25:09.000
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers defeat the Phillies three to one in a start

504
00:25:09.000 --> 00:25:13.480
<v Speaker 2>that Roki Sazaki only had two walks and four plus sinnings.

505
00:25:13.680 --> 00:25:15.960
<v Speaker 2>That's when he handed the ball over to the bullpen.

506
00:25:16.359 --> 00:25:19.799
<v Speaker 2>And how about Ben Caspirius. Jose, we got to know

507
00:25:19.960 --> 00:25:22.720
<v Speaker 2>him in the World Series last year and he has

508
00:25:22.799 --> 00:25:25.759
<v Speaker 2>been a big time weapon coming out of the bullpen

509
00:25:25.880 --> 00:25:30.119
<v Speaker 2>today two scoreless innings. Blake Trenton told me, or told

510
00:25:30.240 --> 00:25:34.279
<v Speaker 2>us on the pregame show yesterday that Lou Trevino is

511
00:25:34.319 --> 00:25:37.279
<v Speaker 2>a name that he compares Ben Caspirius too, because he

512
00:25:37.400 --> 00:25:40.720
<v Speaker 2>believes that Caspirius is one of the best young relief

513
00:25:40.799 --> 00:25:43.400
<v Speaker 2>arms he has seen since he was teammates with a

514
00:25:43.440 --> 00:25:45.680
<v Speaker 2>young Lou Trevino in Oakland.

515
00:25:45.839 --> 00:25:48.160
<v Speaker 6>Who would take the ball in any situation too and

516
00:25:48.279 --> 00:25:51.599
<v Speaker 6>be multiating guy and not be shot of his own.

517
00:25:51.680 --> 00:25:54.680
<v Speaker 6>When I first saw BENK Casparius in Spring Trendy, he

518
00:25:54.680 --> 00:25:56.519
<v Speaker 6>told me about a couple of adjustments he wanted to

519
00:25:56.559 --> 00:26:00.079
<v Speaker 6>make and was making coming hereto the Cactus League.

520
00:26:00.240 --> 00:26:00.960
<v Speaker 3>But I say, how.

521
00:26:00.880 --> 00:26:02.519
<v Speaker 6>About the strategy to go. I'm going to go out

522
00:26:02.519 --> 00:26:05.039
<v Speaker 6>there and fill it regardless. So the justice I've been

523
00:26:05.519 --> 00:26:08.920
<v Speaker 6>just repeating his arm angled, But David went over very well,

524
00:26:09.119 --> 00:26:13.319
<v Speaker 6>especially early in the season. How valuable multi inning guys

525
00:26:13.359 --> 00:26:16.319
<v Speaker 6>are for a bullpen, and because he is really a

526
00:26:16.359 --> 00:26:20.039
<v Speaker 6>starting pitcher, his stuff plays well in relief too because

527
00:26:20.079 --> 00:26:22.519
<v Speaker 6>he always has He's not afraid to start you over

528
00:26:22.519 --> 00:26:24.680
<v Speaker 6>with a break the ball for a strike, finish you off,

529
00:26:24.680 --> 00:26:27.599
<v Speaker 6>and pitch you backwards. But nonetheless, he took all these

530
00:26:27.640 --> 00:26:30.519
<v Speaker 6>guys that come into from Dollar's bullpen. They have a

531
00:26:30.519 --> 00:26:33.039
<v Speaker 6>lot of heat. They can swing and miss some bats,

532
00:26:33.319 --> 00:26:36.880
<v Speaker 6>but they throw a lot of strikes. And perhaps when

533
00:26:36.880 --> 00:26:38.279
<v Speaker 6>you see guys come out of a bullpen on the

534
00:26:38.319 --> 00:26:40.559
<v Speaker 6>opposing side in the year of the opposing team, do

535
00:26:40.559 --> 00:26:42.359
<v Speaker 6>you see a lot of oen ones? And before you

536
00:26:42.400 --> 00:26:45.039
<v Speaker 6>know it, you're more defensive than you are aggressive on

537
00:26:45.359 --> 00:26:46.240
<v Speaker 6>early counts.

538
00:26:46.920 --> 00:26:49.839
<v Speaker 2>All right, Jose, Tomorrow Glass, Now, with the way the

539
00:26:49.880 --> 00:26:53.400
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers use the bullpen, how important is it for Glass

540
00:26:53.400 --> 00:26:55.960
<v Speaker 2>now to give the Dodgers at least six innings not

541
00:26:56.079 --> 00:26:56.559
<v Speaker 2>just five?

542
00:26:57.359 --> 00:26:59.559
<v Speaker 6>Oh, it's huge, And I hope he's not looking around

543
00:27:00.079 --> 00:27:01.839
<v Speaker 6>city knowing that he's got enough to go out there

544
00:27:01.880 --> 00:27:04.720
<v Speaker 6>and win and give you some innings. He is a

545
00:27:04.759 --> 00:27:07.200
<v Speaker 6>guy that knows. Also, going back to yeah, a motive

546
00:27:07.880 --> 00:27:10.960
<v Speaker 6>moto yesterday on how well the fastball was located against

547
00:27:10.960 --> 00:27:14.000
<v Speaker 6>some of these very powerful hitters, you can't shut away

548
00:27:14.039 --> 00:27:16.240
<v Speaker 6>from us. So I hope it's more of a fastball

549
00:27:16.680 --> 00:27:19.200
<v Speaker 6>sided type of outing for him, because that way he

550
00:27:19.240 --> 00:27:21.319
<v Speaker 6>can go out and correct things and stay directional and

551
00:27:21.400 --> 00:27:23.880
<v Speaker 6>have everything else worked much better as a very good

552
00:27:23.920 --> 00:27:24.400
<v Speaker 6>ball club.

553
00:27:25.359 --> 00:27:27.480
<v Speaker 2>All right, Jose, we'll check in with you after the

554
00:27:27.519 --> 00:27:31.319
<v Speaker 2>game tomorrow, as the Dodgers will train it to Washington,

555
00:27:31.400 --> 00:27:31.680
<v Speaker 2>d C.

556
00:27:32.079 --> 00:27:35.640
<v Speaker 3>After the game tomorrow. Thanks jose A Stamanena.

557
00:27:36.759 --> 00:27:39.640
<v Speaker 2>There he goes Jose Mota, part of the Dodgers Spanish

558
00:27:39.720 --> 00:27:43.079
<v Speaker 2>radio broadcast. The Dodgers defeat the Phillies tonight three to

559
00:27:43.160 --> 00:27:46.880
<v Speaker 2>one and look to win the series tomorrow afternoon, with

560
00:27:46.960 --> 00:27:50.079
<v Speaker 2>Tyler Glass now on the mound going up against a

561
00:27:50.200 --> 00:27:53.519
<v Speaker 2>very good pitcher in Christopher Sanchez. So tomorrow will not

562
00:27:53.640 --> 00:27:56.799
<v Speaker 2>be easy for the Dodgers, but certainly they have They

563
00:27:56.839 --> 00:27:59.400
<v Speaker 2>had the lineup to be able to make really good

564
00:27:59.440 --> 00:28:03.640
<v Speaker 2>pictures seem mere mortals. And I was talking to Ken

565
00:28:03.720 --> 00:28:07.240
<v Speaker 2>Rosenthal on the way back upstairs after the game, and

566
00:28:07.279 --> 00:28:09.599
<v Speaker 2>he was just going down the Dodger lineup. I mean,

567
00:28:09.839 --> 00:28:12.759
<v Speaker 2>my gosh, you got CONFORDO, you got Muncie, you got

568
00:28:12.839 --> 00:28:15.200
<v Speaker 2>key k. You don't even have Freddy and MOOKI together.

569
00:28:15.319 --> 00:28:17.920
<v Speaker 2>It's like, yes, they have a really good team. And

570
00:28:18.119 --> 00:28:21.359
<v Speaker 2>it makes it really tough even for the really good

571
00:28:21.359 --> 00:28:24.599
<v Speaker 2>teams and for the good pitchers to come out of

572
00:28:24.640 --> 00:28:27.640
<v Speaker 2>it with a win. And that's why I believe even

573
00:28:27.680 --> 00:28:31.839
<v Speaker 2>when teams beat the Dodgers like last night, they basically

574
00:28:31.920 --> 00:28:36.200
<v Speaker 2>survived the Dodgers and survived twenty seven outs Hey. Earlier

575
00:28:36.240 --> 00:28:39.400
<v Speaker 2>today I had a chance to catch up with KEYK Hernandez,

576
00:28:39.559 --> 00:28:42.440
<v Speaker 2>and Key K tonight is going to have the last word,

577
00:28:42.920 --> 00:28:45.960
<v Speaker 2>as Mookie Betts had the last word last night on

578
00:28:46.079 --> 00:28:50.000
<v Speaker 2>Dodger Talk. Look, those two guys don't want to make

579
00:28:50.079 --> 00:28:53.039
<v Speaker 2>anything political. They don't want to make it about themselves,

580
00:28:53.440 --> 00:28:56.400
<v Speaker 2>but they felt the need to come out publicly to

581
00:28:57.240 --> 00:29:00.559
<v Speaker 2>basically say they're going to the White House with their teammates,

582
00:29:00.759 --> 00:29:03.720
<v Speaker 2>and they don't want to bring attention to themselves. They

583
00:29:03.720 --> 00:29:07.640
<v Speaker 2>want to continue the tradition of world champions of visiting

584
00:29:07.680 --> 00:29:09.960
<v Speaker 2>the White House, which is the House of the people.

585
00:29:10.559 --> 00:29:14.920
<v Speaker 2>And here was our exclusive conversation with Keith A Hernandez

586
00:29:15.000 --> 00:29:19.599
<v Speaker 2>about joining his teammates and not being alone and being

587
00:29:19.680 --> 00:29:23.839
<v Speaker 2>part of a team celebration on Monday. Part of the

588
00:29:23.880 --> 00:29:26.880
<v Speaker 2>reason why you're back with the Dodgers and why everybody

589
00:29:26.880 --> 00:29:29.319
<v Speaker 2>wanted you back was to enjoy the fruits and the

590
00:29:29.359 --> 00:29:32.160
<v Speaker 2>celebration of being a world champion. The following year you

591
00:29:32.240 --> 00:29:34.839
<v Speaker 2>got your ring. I'm sure that was exciting for you.

592
00:29:34.880 --> 00:29:37.119
<v Speaker 2>And then on Monday, the Dodgers are going to the

593
00:29:37.119 --> 00:29:37.680
<v Speaker 2>White House.

594
00:29:38.319 --> 00:29:43.000
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, no, second time there is a champ. First time

595
00:29:43.119 --> 00:29:45.759
<v Speaker 10>that I get to you know, come back and be

596
00:29:45.839 --> 00:29:50.480
<v Speaker 10>part of all the all the celebrations of the previous year.

597
00:29:51.400 --> 00:29:52.880
<v Speaker 10>Of course I missed out on all of that in

598
00:29:52.880 --> 00:29:58.160
<v Speaker 10>twenty twenty one, So the White House, I feel like

599
00:29:58.200 --> 00:30:02.720
<v Speaker 10>being a Latino and being a somewhat of a fan favorite.

600
00:30:02.880 --> 00:30:03.359
<v Speaker 5>Uh.

601
00:30:03.880 --> 00:30:05.759
<v Speaker 10>It was kind of a loose lose situation for me

602
00:30:06.160 --> 00:30:09.440
<v Speaker 10>in terms of the White House. If if if I

603
00:30:09.480 --> 00:30:12.960
<v Speaker 10>was here in twenty twenty one, maybe my decision would

604
00:30:12.960 --> 00:30:17.720
<v Speaker 10>have maybe possibly been easier. But you know the fact

605
00:30:17.720 --> 00:30:20.519
<v Speaker 10>that I was in here, I need to be selfish

606
00:30:20.559 --> 00:30:24.799
<v Speaker 10>and and and put myself and myself before anything else.

607
00:30:24.880 --> 00:30:27.839
<v Speaker 10>I understand that, uh that I'm a role model and

608
00:30:27.920 --> 00:30:30.680
<v Speaker 10>I'm uh, you know, I'm supposed to be a leader

609
00:30:30.720 --> 00:30:33.680
<v Speaker 10>in the Latino community. But at the same time, you know,

610
00:30:34.480 --> 00:30:38.920
<v Speaker 10>as a little kid, you see the World Series champ

611
00:30:39.319 --> 00:30:42.440
<v Speaker 10>or NBA Finals champ, all the you know, NHL, all

612
00:30:42.480 --> 00:30:45.599
<v Speaker 10>these major sports. You know, they win the they win

613
00:30:45.640 --> 00:30:47.200
<v Speaker 10>the title, and they go to the White House, and

614
00:30:47.720 --> 00:30:49.440
<v Speaker 10>you know that's one of the things as a little

615
00:30:49.480 --> 00:30:51.440
<v Speaker 10>kid when you dream about winning the World Series, you know,

616
00:30:51.519 --> 00:30:55.880
<v Speaker 10>you put yourself in those situations. And here, here we

617
00:30:55.920 --> 00:30:59.759
<v Speaker 10>are in the present moment, and a decision that is

618
00:31:00.240 --> 00:31:04.920
<v Speaker 10>not really easy at all. But you know, I've I've

619
00:31:04.960 --> 00:31:06.400
<v Speaker 10>decided that I'm going to go to the White House

620
00:31:06.599 --> 00:31:10.039
<v Speaker 10>just because we are celebrating as a team and we

621
00:31:10.160 --> 00:31:12.799
<v Speaker 10>have a really good thing going on. I feel like

622
00:31:12.880 --> 00:31:15.319
<v Speaker 10>if I say no, that kind of becomes a distraction,

623
00:31:15.440 --> 00:31:17.599
<v Speaker 10>not only for myself but for my teammates. I don't

624
00:31:17.599 --> 00:31:20.039
<v Speaker 10>want to have any of my teammates have to answer

625
00:31:20.119 --> 00:31:23.440
<v Speaker 10>questions to the media as to why I took a

626
00:31:23.480 --> 00:31:26.279
<v Speaker 10>personal decision. So I feel like me going to the

627
00:31:26.319 --> 00:31:28.480
<v Speaker 10>White House is definitely not a political thing. It's more

628
00:31:28.480 --> 00:31:31.119
<v Speaker 10>of a you know, I'm there to celebrate the title

629
00:31:31.160 --> 00:31:36.079
<v Speaker 10>and I'm there to support my teammates. So yeah, I mean,

630
00:31:36.200 --> 00:31:38.880
<v Speaker 10>I don't want to go back twenty years from now

631
00:31:38.880 --> 00:31:42.799
<v Speaker 10>and regret my decision of, you know, not going to

632
00:31:42.799 --> 00:31:44.880
<v Speaker 10>the White House. That's that would have been twice that

633
00:31:44.960 --> 00:31:48.359
<v Speaker 10>I miss out on the opportunity. So, like I said,

634
00:31:48.359 --> 00:31:49.920
<v Speaker 10>in twenty twenty one, the team got to go, my

635
00:31:49.960 --> 00:31:51.799
<v Speaker 10>teammates got to go. I wasn't there because I wasn't

636
00:31:51.839 --> 00:31:54.200
<v Speaker 10>part of the team. I missed out on that opportunity.

637
00:31:54.240 --> 00:31:56.079
<v Speaker 10>So I'm trying to trying to make sure I don't

638
00:31:56.079 --> 00:31:58.680
<v Speaker 10>miss out on anything this year. And you know, I

639
00:31:58.720 --> 00:32:02.400
<v Speaker 10>think mixing politics and sports is never a good thing.

640
00:32:02.480 --> 00:32:05.599
<v Speaker 10>So I am definitely not making this a political thing.

641
00:32:05.599 --> 00:32:07.920
<v Speaker 10>I'm just going to be there for my team. I'm

642
00:32:07.920 --> 00:32:11.200
<v Speaker 10>going to be there to support and my teammates, not

643
00:32:11.240 --> 00:32:15.720
<v Speaker 10>anybody else. And uh yeah, just that's probably that's part

644
00:32:15.720 --> 00:32:16.640
<v Speaker 10>of my reason why I'm going.

645
00:32:16.799 --> 00:32:19.960
<v Speaker 2>No doubt, LA loves you, KEYK. Puerto Rico loves you.

646
00:32:20.440 --> 00:32:22.359
<v Speaker 2>That will never change. So you don't have to worry

647
00:32:22.400 --> 00:32:25.440
<v Speaker 2>about that. You just have to, uh look good and

648
00:32:25.480 --> 00:32:27.559
<v Speaker 2>be yourself wherever the Dodgers go.

649
00:32:27.960 --> 00:32:30.680
<v Speaker 10>Well, those are two things that I tend to be

650
00:32:30.720 --> 00:32:35.039
<v Speaker 10>good at. Looking good and be myself. Uh be myself

651
00:32:35.039 --> 00:32:38.680
<v Speaker 10>as something I pride on each and every day regardless

652
00:32:38.720 --> 00:32:41.319
<v Speaker 10>of where I'm at. And uh, who knows, maybe I'll

653
00:32:41.319 --> 00:32:43.759
<v Speaker 10>pull a k a kyk stunt at the White House.

654
00:32:44.799 --> 00:32:46.440
<v Speaker 3>Be on your toes. You never know.

655
00:32:46.720 --> 00:32:49.200
<v Speaker 2>Like I said, LA will never change how they feel

656
00:32:49.200 --> 00:32:52.079
<v Speaker 2>about you. You leave it all out on the field.

657
00:32:52.160 --> 00:32:55.240
<v Speaker 2>You wear your heart on your sleeve, and that's something

658
00:32:55.279 --> 00:32:56.240
<v Speaker 2>that we all appreciate.

659
00:32:56.319 --> 00:32:57.599
<v Speaker 10>Thank you, Dave, I appreciate you.

660
00:32:58.799 --> 00:32:58.960
<v Speaker 5>There.

661
00:32:59.000 --> 00:33:02.559
<v Speaker 2>He is KEYK Heez with the last word tonight on

662
00:33:02.759 --> 00:33:05.799
<v Speaker 2>Dodger Talk, And just like Mooki Beds said yesterday, this

663
00:33:05.960 --> 00:33:09.319
<v Speaker 2>is not a political thing. This is sports and world

664
00:33:09.440 --> 00:33:13.880
<v Speaker 2>champions of all sports. Part of the celebration in the

665
00:33:13.920 --> 00:33:17.079
<v Speaker 2>perks is not only getting a championship ring, but then

666
00:33:17.119 --> 00:33:20.519
<v Speaker 2>also going with your teammates as a group to the

667
00:33:20.559 --> 00:33:23.240
<v Speaker 2>White House to be celebrated. And the Dodgers will do

668
00:33:23.279 --> 00:33:27.119
<v Speaker 2>that on Monday, and they will be celebrated. And look,

669
00:33:27.559 --> 00:33:30.200
<v Speaker 2>I feel like it's awkward that they even feel the

670
00:33:30.200 --> 00:33:33.759
<v Speaker 2>need they have to come out and publicly give their reasoning.

671
00:33:33.839 --> 00:33:37.240
<v Speaker 2>But obviously Mooki bets and today exclusively with us Keik

672
00:33:37.359 --> 00:33:40.119
<v Speaker 2>Hernandez felt like he had to do the same thing.

673
00:33:40.240 --> 00:33:42.200
<v Speaker 3>But we'll let Keik have the last word.

674
00:33:42.200 --> 00:33:45.680
<v Speaker 2>I thought, Mooki and Keik express themselves perfectly.

675
00:33:46.200 --> 00:33:46.839
<v Speaker 3>Tomorrow.

676
00:33:46.880 --> 00:33:49.400
<v Speaker 2>Like I mentioned, Tyler Glass now is on the mound

677
00:33:49.519 --> 00:33:52.119
<v Speaker 2>for the Dodgers. In his first start of the year,

678
00:33:52.200 --> 00:33:55.440
<v Speaker 2>he went five scoreless innings with eight strikeouts. He's going

679
00:33:55.519 --> 00:33:59.559
<v Speaker 2>up against lefty Christopher Sanchez. Our coverage begins tomorrow morning

680
00:33:59.559 --> 00:34:02.880
<v Speaker 2>at nine thirty with first pitch at ten thirty five

681
00:34:03.039 --> 00:34:07.519
<v Speaker 2>from the Bank in Philadelphia. Thanks to Calling you back

682
00:34:07.559 --> 00:34:10.760
<v Speaker 2>at our Burbank Studios. Thanks to Dwayne McDonald out here

683
00:34:11.159 --> 00:34:14.840
<v Speaker 2>at Citizens Bank Park in Philly. And in case you

684
00:34:14.840 --> 00:34:16.679
<v Speaker 2>missed any of the show, I want to hear the

685
00:34:16.719 --> 00:34:20.239
<v Speaker 2>full conversation with Keith Hernandez. You can find all of

686
00:34:20.239 --> 00:34:24.119
<v Speaker 2>that on the iHeartRadio app once again. The final score

687
00:34:24.159 --> 00:34:28.360
<v Speaker 2>tonight from Philadelphia. The Dodgers defeat the Phillies three to one.

688
00:34:28.519 --> 00:34:38.760
<v Speaker 2>Have a great rest of your Saturday, see them say.
