Speaker 1: five years, and now your voice for Dodgers talking like
Speaker 1: the back damn Cats.
Speaker 2: Dodgers get the win in Atlanta and another game closer
Speaker 2: to clenching the division. Hi, everybody, and welcome to post
Speaker 2: game Dodger Talk here on AM five seventy LA Sports.
Speaker 2: Thanks for being with us on this Monday night as
Speaker 2: the Dodgers pack up and head to Miami now to
Speaker 2: continue this East Coast road trip. They finished with a
Speaker 2: split at Truest Park in Atlanta, dropping the first two
Speaker 2: games to the Braves and then coming back and winning
Speaker 2: the next two. A nine to nothing victory tonight over
Speaker 2: the Braves, a game in which Yoshi Nobu Yamamotos started
Speaker 2: when four innings, no runs, four hits, three strikeouts, two walks.
Speaker 2: He wasn't as sharp as he was in his first
Speaker 2: outing against the Cup, his first outing back since the
Speaker 2: shoulder injury, but still Effiicion goes out there and gets
Speaker 2: some good defense behind them. Is stellar defensive play in
Speaker 2: the third on a double from Jorge Hilaire, Michael Harris
Speaker 2: Junior trying to score from first Tommy Edmund to Key
Speaker 2: Key Hernandez to Will Smith and gets them out at
Speaker 2: home plate to preserve the shutout. As the Dodgers get
Speaker 2: the victory. There are now eighty nine and sixty one
Speaker 2: on this season, and quite frankly, I liked what I
Speaker 2: saw at a Yamamoto tonight as far as his fight
Speaker 2: and his toughness and his grit out there.
Speaker 3: And I mean it by this. He wasn't sharp.
Speaker 2: Seventy two pitches, only forty two for strikes, and granted
Speaker 2: he didn't throw a lot of his splitters and sliders
Speaker 2: until he got to the second time through the lineup.
Speaker 3: Okay, nothing wrong with that.
Speaker 2: But the leadoff batter in the first was a walk,
Speaker 2: The leadoff batter in the second was a double, The
Speaker 2: leadoff batter in the third was the single, a triple
Speaker 2: to lead off the fourth, he had traffic on base
Speaker 2: from the first batter of every You can't put yourself
Speaker 2: in that kind of hole. He was able to get
Speaker 2: out of it and sort of tap dance through it
Speaker 2: and walk that tight rope of getting into trouble and
Speaker 2: got some help behind them on that great play from
Speaker 2: Edmund to keigate to will Smith, but also got a
Speaker 2: nice play from Tascar Hernandez Miguel Rojas with the infield
Speaker 2: in and a runner a third less than two outs,
Speaker 2: a one hopper hit to him, he backhands it. It's
Speaker 2: a tough pick that he made, Wasn't it just a
Speaker 2: routine play, one hander right in front of him glove's side.
Speaker 2: It was a quick pick he had to make, look
Speaker 2: the runner back and then throw over to first to
Speaker 2: get the out. Yoshinoba Yamamodo helped himself out with a
Speaker 2: couple of strikeouts with base with runners on base, So
Speaker 2: it was a combination of getting strikeouts and getting some
Speaker 2: good defense behind him. But in the postseason you gotta
Speaker 2: be sharper than that. And I think tonight was another
Speaker 2: step forward in his progression coming back from the shoulder injury.
Speaker 2: And I think the big thing we'll find out is
Speaker 2: tomorrow how he feel and if he feels good, and
Speaker 2: if you're continuing to trend. One more start, maybe two
Speaker 2: more starts, and then it's the postseason for Yoshiyamamoto, and
Speaker 2: I think he's definitely right there as one of your
Speaker 2: starters in the postseason. Now it's been two starts, and
Speaker 2: I said it after the last start, got to see more.
Speaker 2: You know, we can get excited about four innings last time,
Speaker 2: what he did against the Cubs, and get really excited
Speaker 2: about what could be in the postseason. But it was
Speaker 2: only one start. We needed to pump the brakes a
Speaker 2: little bit. Now this is two starts and again not
Speaker 2: as sharp.
Speaker 3: Nothing. You're gonna go home.
Speaker 2: And say, wow, that was just fantastic. He's our ace,
Speaker 2: he's our guy. I'm ready, but you know, let's hit
Speaker 2: the postseason right now. But it was a good step forward.
Speaker 2: Runners on base, worked out of jams, face some adversity
Speaker 2: and was able to get out of it. Stayed poised.
Speaker 2: I'd like that, didn't get flustered out there, didn't have
Speaker 2: base runners on and all of a sudden walk the
Speaker 2: bases loaded, a leadoff trip on the third, a strikeout,
Speaker 2: a ground ball out the one I'm in that Miguel
Speaker 2: Rojas made the pick, and then a line drive to
Speaker 2: Miguel Rojas for the final out of the fourth inning.
Speaker 3: It could have gone south.
Speaker 2: If he's flustered out there, if the pressure is getting
Speaker 2: to him, if he's not comfortable out there on the mound.
Speaker 2: Lead off triple things could spiral a walk, a blue
Speaker 2: bas hit, a ball off the wall, a home run,
Speaker 2: and there's a bunch of damage done against him. And
Speaker 2: now we're sitting here having a different conversation. But as
Speaker 2: it is, good defense behind him. Helped himself out with
Speaker 2: the strikeout and gets out of the fourth inning with
Speaker 2: a giving up a run. I really liked what I
Speaker 2: saw out of him tonight. Another step forward to me,
Speaker 2: another box checked for Yoshi Yamamoto. Tomorrow will be another
Speaker 2: box that he checks. Why because we need to see
Speaker 2: how he feels after his second start, how he is
Speaker 2: able to bounce back the next day. As you hear
Speaker 2: all the time, how does a guy feel the next day?
Speaker 2: Walker Buehler was great. How does he feel the next day? Well,
Speaker 2: he felt good today, felt like he had no issues.
Speaker 2: Perfect onto the next start, onto the next day of
Speaker 2: in between start workouts and bullpens and long toss and
Speaker 2: get ready for that next start out there for the Dodgers.
Speaker 2: So that's good news for the Dodgers. Finally, finally, right
Speaker 2: Dodger fans, some good news as far as the starting
Speaker 2: pitching is concerned. Bueller looked better last night and Yoshiyamamoto,
Speaker 2: I think took that next step eight six six nine
Speaker 2: eighty seven two five seventy eight six six nine eighty
Speaker 2: seven two five seventy tomorrow a big start for Bobby Miller,
Speaker 2: and it's the Miami Marlins, and I think it's a
Speaker 2: perfect opportunity for Bobby Miller. Whatever's wrong with him, Okay,
Speaker 2: let's play a little let's play a.
Speaker 3: Little doctor here.
Speaker 2: As far as Bobby Miller and little diagnosis, it doesn't
Speaker 2: appear to be physical, right because if it was physical,
Speaker 2: he'd be on the injured list.
Speaker 3: We would have heard about something.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 2: He's been battling a little bit of a sore knee.
Speaker 2: He's pitching through it, but arm wise, shoulder wise, you're
Speaker 2: not hearing anything. It's not like he's got fatigue. It's
Speaker 2: not like he's been used so much that he's a
Speaker 2: dead horse out there and you need to get him
Speaker 2: some rest before you get to October.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 2: This is a Bobby Miller who has had time off
Speaker 2: as time in the majors and the minor leagues this
Speaker 2: year to try to figure out why this year has
Speaker 2: been so different than last year in his rookie year.
Speaker 3: Mechanics isn't mental? Is it a.
Speaker 2: Combination of that? And so maybe lingering physical things he
Speaker 2: had early on in the season. You know, all that
Speaker 2: combined can get to a pitcher, and it's a matter
Speaker 2: of repetition. Having some success mentally, being checked back in
Speaker 2: and finding some success can change things for you all
Speaker 2: of a sudden. If you're lingering as a pitcher and
Speaker 2: you can't throw strikes and you can't get guys out,
Speaker 2: and every time you're out there with two outs they
Speaker 2: put up two runs on the board, Like in his
Speaker 2: last start, the first in against the Cubs, two quick
Speaker 2: outs on six pitches, and the next thing you know, wait,
Speaker 2: the Cubs are still bad and it's two nothing. Then
Speaker 2: you just get too quick.
Speaker 3: What's going on?
Speaker 2: Can't finish off teams with two outs? All these things
Speaker 2: starting to mount up and it becomes like, oh, no,
Speaker 2: when's that?
Speaker 3: When? When is it gonna.
Speaker 2: Blow up for him on the mound if he could
Speaker 2: go out against the Marlins tomorrow. Marlins are a team
Speaker 2: that's forty games under five hundred. This is Miami Marlins
Speaker 2: team that's right for the picking for some of these
Speaker 2: young pitchers like Bobby Miller and Landing neck On Wednesday.
Speaker 2: Now for Bobby Miller to go out and have some success.
Speaker 2: Put up zeros, stack those zeros and start tomorrow. You
Speaker 2: start seeing some positive results to what you're working on
Speaker 2: in between starts, and then out there on the start
Speaker 2: that positivity is being reflected in what you're doing and
Speaker 2: the outcome that can change your mental mindset real quick
Speaker 2: and for a picture.
Speaker 3: All of a sudden, you've got the.
Speaker 2: C word confidence and you go out there in the
Speaker 2: mound and Bobby Miller's got a little bit of a
Speaker 2: strut about him, maybe a couple ticks up on the
Speaker 2: fast because he's feeling it, not afraid to throw certain
Speaker 2: pitches now because he's got what the C word. Confidence
Speaker 2: could be a big start for Bobby Miller to get
Speaker 2: that confidence, to get that build up again that hey,
Speaker 2: I can do this. I'm a guy that's got great stuff,
Speaker 2: a fastball that's electric, a curveball and a really good changeup.
Speaker 3: I can pitch at this level.
Speaker 1: He can.
Speaker 2: He showed it last year for whatever reason, health, mental,
Speaker 2: I don't know what it is.
Speaker 3: Mechanics.
Speaker 2: He just hasn't been right this year. But he could
Speaker 2: put it together. Tomorrow they can go to Miami and
Speaker 2: Bobby Miller. This could be one of those get right games,
Speaker 2: and they could be a get right for the season
Speaker 2: for Bobby Miller. I think if he can go out
Speaker 2: there and have one of those six shutout innings, seven innings,
Speaker 2: one run, three hits, you know, eight strikeouts, that could
Speaker 2: possibly change everything for Bobby Miller. I think to the
Speaker 2: season eight sixty six ninety seven, two five seventy. If
Speaker 2: that happens, what happens to the Dodgers another arm they
Speaker 2: can then go to in October?
Speaker 3: Another arm. Dave Roberts isn't having to.
Speaker 2: Say, Oh wow, it's a flip of the coin, which
Speaker 2: Bobby Miller is gonna show up now? Can't we afford
Speaker 2: to send him out there in Game two of an
Speaker 2: NLDS in a must win game and something happens early
Speaker 2: and all of a sudden we're down in a deficit
Speaker 2: two nothing, three nothing in the second inning.
Speaker 3: You don't have to worry about that.
Speaker 2: If he can get right, get some confidence, and get
Speaker 2: back to the Bobby Miller that pitched in twenty twenty
Speaker 2: three eight six six nine eighty seven, two five seventy
Speaker 2: again is our number. Yo Yoshinoba Yabuoba Yamamodo pitched well tonight.
Speaker 3: He did. Bobby Miller could take that next big step tomorrow.
Speaker 3: Landon Knack.
Speaker 2: I think another guy who could be feasting on the
Speaker 2: Miami Marlins come on Wednesday in the second game of
Speaker 2: this three game series, when he's.
Speaker 3: Scheduled to get the start.
Speaker 2: I liked what I saw the Dodgers' bullpen tonight. Phillips
Speaker 2: trinon Hudson Honeywell in eternal five shutout innings against the
Speaker 2: Atlanta Braves. This was a game the Dodgers had to win. Now,
Speaker 2: you can say that about every game here down the stretch, certainly,
Speaker 2: but the way the standings are starting to shake out,
Speaker 2: and the way the Padres just will not lose, and
Speaker 2: the you know, Milwaukee Brewers win again tonight, So the
Speaker 2: Dodgers lead over them for the second spot in the
Speaker 2: National League stays at two games. If the Dodgers lose
Speaker 2: this game today, they potentially lose a game to the
Speaker 2: Padres and the standings, and they lose a game to
Speaker 2: the Brewers for the second spot in the National League,
Speaker 2: which is really important. Need I remind you the top
Speaker 2: two teams are the only ones that get Buys in
Speaker 2: the wildcard round.
Speaker 3: The other four teams have got to play.
Speaker 2: In the wildcard round, and that would mean if the
Speaker 2: Dodgers don't finish as one of the top two teams,
Speaker 2: they're not going to catch the Phillies. And if the
Speaker 2: Brewers come up and grab the number two spot, the
Speaker 2: Dodgers would have to play in the wildcard round, which
Speaker 2: you will want to have it all costs right now.
Speaker 3: Especially with the team that is needing a break.
Speaker 2: And I know a year ago the break didn't come
Speaker 2: at a good time because the Dodgers coasted into the postseason.
Speaker 2: The layoff was even more time off of this Dodgers team.
Speaker 2: But I think this year is different. You're not mentally
Speaker 2: turning things off mid September because you've already wrapped up
Speaker 2: the division. We played it earlier today, right Colin a
Speaker 2: year ago today, the Dodgers were in Seattle an eleven
Speaker 2: inning win against the Mariners, and the Dodgers a year
Speaker 2: ago today, September sixteenth, twenty twenty three, clinched the division
Speaker 2: with two and a half weeks.
Speaker 3: To go before the October playoffs started.
Speaker 2: Right now, a year later, the Dodgers clinging to it
Speaker 2: what three and a half four game lead depending on
Speaker 2: what happens with the Padres tonight in that game, and
Speaker 2: two game lead over the Brewers for the number two
Speaker 2: spot and avoiding playing in a wildcard series a lot
Speaker 2: different this year. The aggressive the aggressiveness is there, and
Speaker 2: and being able to stay focused for the title final
Speaker 2: two and a half weeks of the year and not
Speaker 2: rest guys, and not worry about just going into the
Speaker 2: playoffs and getting ready for October. No, you're fighting to
Speaker 2: get to October. But then once you get there, I
Speaker 2: think again, this couple of days off to avoid the
Speaker 2: wildcard rounte would be absolutely essential for this Dodgers team,
Speaker 2: guys to get right, and especially for the arms on
Speaker 2: this Dodgers team, the bullpen arms to get forty eight
Speaker 2: hours off and not have to pitch in a game
Speaker 2: or a series like the Wildcard series would be huge.
Speaker 2: Eight six six nine eighty seven two five seven. Le's
Speaker 2: take a couple of calls, Gabe and west Chester is
Speaker 2: going to start things off here on Dodger Talk on
Speaker 2: this Monday night after the Dodgers shut out the Braves
Speaker 2: nine to nothing.
Speaker 5: Hi, Gab, how you doing. I love what you said
Speaker 5: about Yoshi basically pitching in situations. I think I was
Speaker 5: at his first game back when he played the Cups,
Speaker 5: and I'll get to a point on that game and
Speaker 5: has to do it these last two games later. But
Speaker 5: I think that tonight was not only valuable, you know,
Speaker 5: Development is a pitcher, but is valuable in his ability
Speaker 5: to pinch in the postseason, because, let's face it, he's
Speaker 5: gonna face situations like that in the postseason. He's gonna
Speaker 5: have runners on second and third in a tight fifth
Speaker 5: inning situation where he has to manage one out, like
Speaker 5: I thought, And I know statistically the bravest thing is
Speaker 5: not what it should be, especially with all their injured pieces,
Speaker 5: but you can't sleep on some of their pieces there.
Speaker 5: Olsen is a beast, sure, Ozuna is a beast there.
Speaker 5: They are a strong hitting team despite their stats saying otherwise.
Speaker 5: So I really, I really loved what I saw at
Speaker 5: Yoshi tonight. The big thing I wanted to touch on
Speaker 5: was the defense. The last two games, I feel like
Speaker 5: we were not only Chris, but we were making plays.
Speaker 5: The play that kik Hernandez had basically throwing out I
Speaker 5: don't remember who he threw out at home with it.
Speaker 3: Michael Harris, thank you.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I thought that was not only smart baseball. I mean,
Speaker 5: it was an error on his part by taking a
Speaker 5: couple of stutters, but I understand he didn't see the
Speaker 5: ball go as deep as it went. But I thought
Speaker 5: it was smart to basically gather yourself, make the right
Speaker 5: throw from Edmund to Key Came and just basically canon
Speaker 5: it a fastball straight down the middle of the Will Smith.
Speaker 5: I thought that was excellent, excellent defense. And I really
Speaker 5: think that's gonna be the difference if I really look
Speaker 5: at like the two Cubs games, including the unfortunate one
Speaker 5: I went to where they blew you know, the lead
Speaker 5: and gave up five runs mostly on errors. If we
Speaker 5: limit our errors and play smart ball, especially close to
Speaker 5: the infield, this team is slated to. I don't want
Speaker 5: to like make predictions, but we have the ability to
Speaker 5: make a run. And especially the final point here to
Speaker 5: Bobby Miller, I'm gonna say, if he pitches against if
Speaker 5: he has a start against the Padres and that's his
Speaker 5: shutdown game or his confidence game, that's when I'm gonna
Speaker 5: believe that Bobby Miller can pitch in the postseason. I
Speaker 5: think this will be good to get his confidence up.
Speaker 5: If because pitch well against the Marlins, I need to
Speaker 5: see him pitch against an elite team that is going
Speaker 5: to give him big bats to have to shut down
Speaker 5: and six innings.
Speaker 2: So that's my piece on it, all right, appreciate it,
Speaker 2: good stuff, Gabe, appreciate that. If the lineup, excuse me,
Speaker 2: the line with the rotation where to stay as is
Speaker 2: and just kind of projecting out. You mentioned a start
Speaker 2: against the Padres possibly in that three game series next
Speaker 2: week at Dodger Stadium. As it lines up now, it
Speaker 2: looks like Bobby Miller would be pitching this Sunday against
Speaker 2: the Colorado Rockies and would avoid the Padres.
Speaker 3: That kind of lines up.
Speaker 2: I think it looks like Landon Nack, Jack Flaherty, Walker
Speaker 2: Bueller in the three games against the Padres Tuesday, Wednesday
Speaker 2: and Thursday, the twenty fourth, twenty fifth, and twenty six.
Speaker 2: But you know, things can be adjusted around. We'll see
Speaker 2: what happens. There is a day off in between the
Speaker 2: Rocky series and the Padres series that Monday, so we'll
Speaker 2: see how they align things up. But as we speak
Speaker 2: right now, it looks like Bobby Miller would avoid pitching
Speaker 2: against the Padres.
Speaker 3: I'm kind of with you, Gabe.
Speaker 2: That'd be kind of nice if he can go out
Speaker 2: tomorrow against the Marlins, get some confidence back, put up
Speaker 2: some good numbers, get back to what he was doing
Speaker 2: last year, and then build on that in his next start, which, again,
Speaker 2: like you said, against the Padres, would be fantastic and
Speaker 2: here in the end of the regular season, that would
Speaker 2: be awesome to have, but just not lining up as
Speaker 2: we speak. Let's go to Paul and Huntington Beaches next
Speaker 2: up here on Dodger Talk. Dodgers shut out the Braves
Speaker 2: nine to nothing.
Speaker 4: Hi, Paul, hey man, dude, the heck of a win, right.
Speaker 4: The last two nights have been fun. The offense blows up.
Speaker 4: You know, Walker Bueller could not have been any more encouraging.
Speaker 4: Kind of at the right time of the season. But
Speaker 4: I mean, my gosh, Tim, this team has been so
Speaker 4: maddening all year long. For a team that's gonna win
Speaker 4: ninety six, ninety seven games something like that, I mean,
Speaker 4: my gosh, we all could see this team getting swept
Speaker 4: out of the first round and winning a World Series,
Speaker 4: and it's been like that all freaking season long. And
Speaker 4: as positive and I want to be fired up right now.
Speaker 4: I mean, this team could just could go out and
Speaker 4: craft the bed the next couple of days in Miami.
Speaker 4: That's kind of who they've been. And it's weird because again,
Speaker 4: they're gonna win ninety seven games. I mean, this team
Speaker 4: has got all the talent in the world, and I'm
Speaker 4: gonna go down with the ship, right, But I mean,
Speaker 4: at the end of the day, they could just as
Speaker 4: well win this whole thing. Yamamoto was fantastic today in
Speaker 4: the short four innings. But Walker Bueller, dude, do you
Speaker 4: think that this guy could really build on what he
Speaker 4: showed yesterday and become a little bit of a different pitcher.
Speaker 4: If we're gonna run Walker Bueller out there and he's
Speaker 4: gonna be a dude, that kind of changes the dynamic
Speaker 4: given to the skitching staffs on tuns. And last point,
Speaker 4: I'll get off the phone here. I mean, you hit
Speaker 4: on it. They desperately need that break. The reason this
Speaker 4: team has been so up and down, the bullten just
Speaker 4: gets worked so bad, so hard, yeah, that those guys
Speaker 4: are gonna need a blow and they've got to hold
Speaker 4: on it and get one of these top two spots,
Speaker 4: all right, I'm done ranting.
Speaker 2: Man, have a good night, all right, Paul appreciated it
Speaker 2: would be awesome if Bobby Miller and Walker Bueller together
Speaker 2: could figure it out and put it together year in
Speaker 2: late September for a postseason run. I mean forhras banged
Speaker 2: up as injured as this starring rotation has been, and
Speaker 2: nobody's gonna feel sorry for the Dodgers by any means.
Speaker 3: But man, they could catch a break.
Speaker 2: And I know other fans out there like, yeah, the
Speaker 2: Dodgers don't need a break.
Speaker 3: Okay, you get all the great stars.
Speaker 2: But if the Dodgers could just get a break with
Speaker 2: starting pitching and the guys that are healthy right now,
Speaker 2: who are proven major leaguers like Walker Bueller and young
Speaker 2: pitchers like Bobby Miller, who had a really good rookie
Speaker 2: season is just for whatever reason not put it together
Speaker 2: this year. If the two of them, the baseball gods
Speaker 2: are listening right now, it could shine down on the
Speaker 2: Dodgers for some positivity and some good luck. How about
Speaker 2: Bobby Miller and Walker Bueller getting some of that. They've
Speaker 2: worked their butts off to come back from injuries, specifically
Speaker 2: Walker Bueller, to have him find some success here late
Speaker 2: in the season and build on what he did yesterday.
Speaker 2: The six innings, two runs, only one of which was
Speaker 2: earned by the way, three hits, five strikeouts, get those
Speaker 2: five walks down a little bit and build on yesterday.
Speaker 3: It'd be awesome.
Speaker 2: But again, it's not like that was second or third
Speaker 2: start in a row where he's really been stacking good
Speaker 2: starts together.
Speaker 3: It was one.
Speaker 2: He needs to do it again and then one more
Speaker 2: time after that before you're gonna sell me on Walker
Speaker 2: Buehler being a guy that I can trust going out
Speaker 2: there in an NLDS, an NLCS and a World Series.
Speaker 2: Eight sixty six, nine eighty seven, two five seventy. We'll
Speaker 2: take a break, we'll come back. We'll get to your
Speaker 2: phone calls. We'll hear from the manager as well. Dave
Speaker 2: Roberts Dodgers beat the Atlanta Braves to nine, nine to nothing.
Speaker 2: Yoshanoba Yamamoto four shutout innings. The Dodgers' bullpen combines for
Speaker 2: five shutout innings. The Dodgers' offense he RUPs for six runs.
Speaker 2: In the seventh inning, all nine batters go to the plate.
Speaker 2: Freddie Freeman with the exclamation point and three run home
Speaker 2: run is twenty second of the year. Dodgers win it
Speaker 2: nine to nothing. Your phone calls and Dave when we
Speaker 2: come back. Postgame.

Speaker 5: The home run Freddie Freeman with a three run opposite

Speaker 3: Freddie Freeman goes deep.
Speaker 2: Three run home run off Otaco to left field, off
Speaker 2: the wall, the short wall, left field in front of

Speaker 2: a fifty dollars gift card towards any purchase of ninety
Speaker 2: nine dollars or more. Daniels Jewelers own the Dream. The
Speaker 2: Dodgers with the window eighty nine and sixty one overall.
Speaker 2: They split the four games in Atlanta, their thirteenth shutout
Speaker 2: win of the season. The magic number as we speak
Speaker 2: is nine. With twelve games to go and keeping Aniowa
Speaker 2: tempet in San Diego, they are going to the sixth
Speaker 2: inning padres a two to nothing lead over the Houston Astros,
Speaker 2: and it is a final. In Colorado, the Rockies come
Speaker 2: back and beat the Arizona Diamondbacks three to two, a
Speaker 2: walk off win for the Colorado Rockies.
Speaker 3: What happened here?
Speaker 2: A little fielder's choice, a throwing air by Luis Perdomo
Speaker 2: and a run scores and what was a two to
Speaker 2: two tie bottom of the ninth inning, a bad air
Speaker 2: from Perdomo and the Diamondbacks, and that allows the Colorado
Speaker 2: Rockies to walk off the Arizona Diamondbacks with a three
Speaker 2: to two wins. So as we sit right now, the
Speaker 2: Diamondbacks six games back in the standings with twelve to play.
Speaker 2: The Padres are four games back, but if they hang
Speaker 2: on and win, that'll go back down to three and
Speaker 2: a half.
Speaker 3: In the NL.
Speaker 2: West Milwaukee Brewers they kept pace with the win over
Speaker 2: the Philadelphia Phillies, so they remained two games back at
Speaker 2: the Dodgers for the second overall spot in the National League.
Speaker 2: Let's go back out to Atlanta and here from the
Speaker 2: manager Dave Roberts postgame.
Speaker 6: Dave, when neilok at yours, you know this performance, what
Speaker 6: were you seeing from him? And I guess as much
Speaker 6: as hoping to get him through five just getting the
Speaker 6: pitch count out, honcouraging was that.
Speaker 3: At least it was good.
Speaker 8: I thought that it wasn't as sharp command wise as
Speaker 8: his first one back, but he made pitches when he
Speaker 8: needed to. Love the way he navigated, and there was
Speaker 8: some big stressful innings and he made pitches when he
Speaker 8: needed to, So that was for me that was important.
Speaker 8: And like you said, we got the pitch count up,
Speaker 8: and I just feel that with where he was at
Speaker 8: as far as number of number of pitches given the
Speaker 8: stressful innings. You know, that equated to five innings for me,
Speaker 8: So I thought he did his job.
Speaker 6: And you look at what Miguil Rojas was able to
Speaker 6: do for this team today, whether it was the base running,
Speaker 6: getting a hit, running, scoring runs, all of the above,
Speaker 6: it kind of seemed like, how valuable is that in
Speaker 6: a player, especially just for someone and kind of what
Speaker 6: he brings to this group.
Speaker 8: He just he brings grit, he brings fight, and I
Speaker 8: think that he really exonifies, you know, what I expect
Speaker 8: in a ballplayer. He really does. And tonight he won
Speaker 8: us a ballgame. And you know, whether it's his two
Speaker 8: strike approach against Freed or the running stealing third to
Speaker 8: create a situational opportunity and then scoring you know, after
Speaker 8: Key k strikes out on a ball that gets about
Speaker 8: ten feet from the catcher, beats the pitcher to the plate,
Speaker 8: it was just a clinic. And that's just how much
Speaker 8: he cares and how much he loves to play the
Speaker 8: game of baseball. And for me, it's it's, you know,
Speaker 8: when you're getting into September, August, September, you know, the
Speaker 8: grind of the game. It's the love for the game.
Speaker 8: Loves he loves to play baseball and loves to compete,
Speaker 8: and that's what gets you through it.
Speaker 3: All.
Speaker 2: Right, there's Dave Roberts post game. He brings the grit,
Speaker 2: he brings the fight, talking about Miguil Rojas, who tonight
Speaker 2: was one for one, a couple of walks, stolen base,
Speaker 2: advanced on a good defensive play, and then scored on
Speaker 2: a wild pitch. Did it all tonight. Great defense, good
Speaker 2: hitting was a key part of this Dodger's nine to
Speaker 2: nothing win over the Atlanta brays.
Speaker 3: Man, Well, guard, it'd been too long man. Well how
Speaker 3: are you the wall?
Speaker 9: The star of scam Sacks and Kate in the am
Speaker 9: which we'll be making a deep run this year. Jimmy,
Speaker 9: you and Colin are the lifeline of Dodger fans like myself,
Speaker 9: and we thank you for it. We love you guys,
Speaker 9: not as much as we love the Dodgers themselves, but
Speaker 9: much love. Hey. I'm hyped man, Ever since Kopek with
Speaker 9: his bionic arm was coming out there and throwing one
Speaker 9: on one and getting out of that jam. Even Freddie
Speaker 9: Freeman said yesterday, you know it, hype the club up.
Speaker 9: Things like that hype the club up. I've noticed they're
Speaker 9: playing excellent defense the last few days. You come together
Speaker 9: as a squad, throw people out. That brings your heart
Speaker 9: rate up. That gets the club going. And if we
Speaker 9: can keep this offense, you know, time scoring anywhere between
Speaker 9: six and ten runs like this, I think we do
Speaker 9: have enough arms. As long as Bueller, since stay healthy,
Speaker 9: Miller can find his way because our ten man, Hey,
Speaker 9: guys like Hudson, guys like trying in close pech all.
Speaker 9: These guys man Vassia, they've been working, man, they've been
Speaker 9: working their ass off, and we got to tip our
Speaker 9: half of them. And I think we can do it.
Speaker 9: It's not gonna be an easy road, but when is
Speaker 9: the playoff run every easy? So let's get ready, that's right,
Speaker 9: And these Dodgers are getting gritty, getting down and I
Speaker 9: love it, man Gold Dodgers.
Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure, appreciate it, man, well love it. Yeah.
Speaker 3: The postseason isn't supposed to be easy.
Speaker 2: If it was, everybody would make it and everybody would
Speaker 2: have the same chance. And when you look at what
Speaker 2: gets October, certainly it's a clean slate. What you did
Speaker 2: over the course of one sixty two, it's putting the
Speaker 2: record books and you move on and all you got
Speaker 2: to do is win the divisional race. Excise me, the
Speaker 2: Divisional series if you get the buye, the NLCS, and
Speaker 2: then the World Series. So you got to make a run.
Speaker 2: It's eleven wins, it's three four four, that's what you
Speaker 2: got to do.
Speaker 3: Three in the division.
Speaker 2: Round, four and the Championship round and then four in
Speaker 2: the World Series in order to hoist the trophy.
Speaker 3: All right, let's go out to a.
Speaker 2: Lot of people want to get on. But you know
Speaker 2: what Isabelle and Anaheim? You have been very patient and
Speaker 2: the Dodgers have now won two in a row. Magic
Speaker 2: number is nine, is he?
Speaker 7: Yeah? Yeah?
Speaker 3: What's wrong?
Speaker 7: Yeah? Great? Hey, they just get to the playoffs right now,
Speaker 7: and I'm happy, okay, but I don't know, I'm just willing,
Speaker 7: but the playoffs right now?
Speaker 3: Don't you know?
Speaker 8: What?
Speaker 3: Is he here here? Listen?
Speaker 2: Don't worry about the playoffs quite Yeah. What you need
Speaker 2: to worry about is another start from Yamamoto to make
Speaker 2: sure he's on track to being one of the guys.
Speaker 3: You can count on.
Speaker 2: And we need a couple more stocks, starting with Bobby
Speaker 2: Miller Walker Wheeler to get these guys some confidence.
Speaker 3: The sea word, right, is the sea word confidence.
Speaker 7: I I don't know if they can test them.
Speaker 3: You can't trust it right now.
Speaker 2: But a couple of starts underneath their belt and maybe
Speaker 2: they put up some zeros and they're feeling good about
Speaker 2: what they're doing in the results, then you can trust them.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 7: Yeah, they didn't need confident. I will agree with you
Speaker 7: on that. So they I need to thank you. We
Speaker 7: need to send something to the cover of Rocky. We
Speaker 7: need to tend them apples or something to thank them
Speaker 7: for the wind tonight.
Speaker 2: How about just an Isabelle shout out. How about you
Speaker 2: giving a little shout out saying thank you for the
Speaker 2: wind tonight.
Speaker 7: Yeah, well you know what made me happy when I
Speaker 7: found that out tonight. But but anyway, but listen, it's
Speaker 7: with good ser it can be. I hope they can
Speaker 7: get two hours to them all this week then for
Speaker 7: I but just you know, keeps going it just you know,
Speaker 7: just when the division that two edge came beginning, soap,
Speaker 7: I can't even be there. I can even get to
Speaker 7: your dodging this year.
Speaker 3: Accessible.
Speaker 2: If I lived close to you, Izzy, that would be different.
Speaker 2: But I live on the other side of southern California
Speaker 2: from you.
Speaker 7: Yeah, but anyway, listen, go Dodgers. They just hope can
Speaker 7: get to just get to the regular season and just
Speaker 7: you know, no more injury.
Speaker 2: No more injuries, is right? Is he appreciated? Great to
Speaker 2: hear from you, and we'll check in with you maybe
Speaker 2: a couple of days from now. I appreciate that, Isabelle
Speaker 2: in Anaheim. Yeah, I'm I'm I'm with Izzy. I'm I'm
Speaker 2: thankful that the Colorado Rockies tonight came through the walk
Speaker 2: off win puts a little bit more separation between the
Speaker 2: Dodgers and the Diamondbacks. The Brewers won, so the Dodgers
Speaker 2: remained two games up on them for the number two
Speaker 2: spot in the National League overall standings, and right now
Speaker 2: they are going to the bottom half of the six thnning. Unfortunately,
Speaker 2: the Astros couldn't score in their top half of the inning.
Speaker 2: Padres lead Houston to nothing down at Petco Park. Looks
Speaker 2: like you, darbish, having a really good game out there
Speaker 2: on the mound.
Speaker 3: So we'll see what happens with that game tonight.
Speaker 2: Certainly, a half game up up, half game down, we'll
Speaker 2: see a change in the standings. But the Dodgers most
Speaker 2: importantly head to Miami with the lead in the division
Speaker 2: and the magic number of none. That's gonna do it
Speaker 2: for postgame Dodger talking. Many thanks to everybody who listened.
Speaker 2: Thanks to everybody who podcasted the show, like Brad Paisley.
Speaker 3: We appreciate it. Thanks everybody for listening.
Speaker 2: We'll be back at it tomorrow with Morongo Casino Dodgers
Speaker 2: on deck beginning at two.
Speaker 3: Thirty in the afternoon.
Speaker 2: First pitch is at three forty Dodgers right back at
Speaker 2: it around the way, right out of Miami, heading from
Speaker 2: Atlanta to Miami. Back at it tomorrow for the start
Speaker 2: of a three game series against the Marlins.
Speaker 3: Bobby Miller on the Mountain, an important.
Speaker 2: Start for Bobby Miller and his hopes of being on
Speaker 2: the postseason roster. Landon Neck will go on Wednesday. Jack
