Speaker 1: And now your host of Dodger top Tim Kaks.
Speaker 2: That was a rough day in Philadelphia for the Dodgers
Speaker 2: as the Dodgers lose to the Phillies eight to seven.
Speaker 2: They overcome a four run deficit, but it wasn't enough
Speaker 2: as they take the lead in the top of the
Speaker 2: seventh only to give it back in the bottom of
Speaker 2: the seventh inning. Started off with a mis q and
Speaker 2: center field from Andy Pajiz and then Blake trying to
Speaker 2: did the rest as the Phillies scored two in the
Speaker 2: bottom of the seventh and they beat the Dodgers eight
Speaker 2: to seven.
Speaker 3: Full lines wide open.
Speaker 2: On this Sunday afternoon eight six six nine eight seven
Speaker 2: two five seventy eight six six nine eight seven two
Speaker 2: five seventy Dodgers dropped two of three in Philadelphia, and
Speaker 2: think about it, both losses games in which they had
Speaker 2: self inflicted wounds during the game on Friday night three
Speaker 2: different times misques on the base pass and it cost
Speaker 2: him in the eighth and ninth inning of that game
Speaker 2: on Friday Night, and they lose to the Phillies for
Speaker 2: the first loss of the twenty twenty five season. Today,
Speaker 2: the Dodgers get five runs driven in from tae Oscar Hernandez.
Speaker 2: They put together a three run seventh inning and take
Speaker 2: a seven to sixth lead. And then in the bottom
Speaker 2: of the seventh, first batter, Bryce Harper hits a ball
Speaker 2: to center field, turns around, Andy Paez misplays the ball.
Speaker 2: It's a double because pal Has didn't touch the ball.
Speaker 2: And then a walk, and then all of a sudden,
Speaker 2: couple batters later, we find ourselves tied at seven, and
Speaker 2: then Edmund Sosa's fielders choice makes it an eight to
Speaker 2: seven game with runners on first and third. A ball
Speaker 2: hit to Max Munci. He tries for the five to
Speaker 2: four to three double play, but Sosa's too fast on
Speaker 2: a slow hitting ball down the third base line.
Speaker 3: They weren't going to get him.
Speaker 2: He beat the throw, and the go ahead run scores
Speaker 2: and the Dodgers then in the eighth and ninth goal quietly,
Speaker 2: but all before that, Tyler Glass. Now in the third inning,
Speaker 2: it starts to rain in Philadelphia, and Tyler Glass now
Speaker 2: lost his composure on the mound.
Speaker 3: Didn't have an outburst, so to speak, but he admitted it.
Speaker 2: We played this sound in this post game during the
Speaker 2: Clubouse show. He lost it mentally there and could not
Speaker 2: get his composure back and couldn't get his command back.
Speaker 2: Back to back to back walks to start the bottom
Speaker 2: of the third a bloop bay hitch, which doesn't help
Speaker 2: the cause. I mean, you're out there struggling, You're trying
Speaker 2: to find yourself, You're trying to get any kind of
Speaker 2: momentum back emotionally and mentally with the rain around you,
Speaker 2: and you're losing your composure and you can't get a
Speaker 2: grip on the ball. The game's starting to speed up
Speaker 2: on you. They tried to slow it down. Mark Pryor
Speaker 2: went out there with the trainer to see if he
Speaker 2: was okay because the velocity had gone down on his fastball,
Speaker 2: and Tyler said, no, I was fine. He just was
Speaker 2: trying to soften his plant leg on that mound and
Speaker 2: so the velocity ticked down.
Speaker 3: Well, if you're having issues on the mound.
Speaker 2: With the dirt and it started to muddy up a
Speaker 2: little bit, and you're going to the cleat, I don't
Speaker 2: even know what you want to call it there. It's
Speaker 2: to clean their cleats off. Golfers use it all the time.
Speaker 2: It's set up behind the mound, and he kept going
Speaker 2: there to clean off the bottom of his cleats, get
Speaker 2: the mud out of his cleats.
Speaker 3: Well, stop the game.
Speaker 2: Ask the home played umpire to get the grounds crew
Speaker 2: out there. Stop the game, stop the momentum one, but
Speaker 2: most importantly, get some dry dirt out there. Get the
Speaker 2: mound how you want it, in a condition that you
Speaker 2: feel good pitching in. Also ask for more rosenbags. Make
Speaker 2: sure you have dry hand in the ball you're able
Speaker 2: to get a grip on it in the moisture and
Speaker 2: the rain out there. You've got to take control of
Speaker 2: the game at that point. If you're the picture on
Speaker 2: the mound, you are in the control, leading the game.
Speaker 3: By what you do on the mound.
Speaker 2: Stop the game, get the grounds crew out there, get
Speaker 2: the game back in control, get yourself back in control, and.
Speaker 3: Get back on top of the mount.
Speaker 2: Better conditions and go out there and finish what you
Speaker 2: got yourself into. Instead, you can see the unraveling. You
Speaker 2: can see him getting flustered with the weather. It's not
Speaker 2: getting any better. Everybody's got to play through it. The
Speaker 2: hitters have had to deal with it as well. You
Speaker 2: saw Christopher Sanchez have to go out there and pitching
Speaker 2: the same conditions in the top half of the third
Speaker 2: inning and go back there in the fourth inning and
Speaker 2: pitching those same conditions. Everybody's got to play through it.
Speaker 2: You've got to suck it up. You've got to play
Speaker 2: through the conditions. And quite frankly, if you're Tyler Glass
Speaker 2: now and you're ten years into your major league career,
Speaker 2: I kind of feel like you have to be emotionally
Speaker 2: better than this. You've got to find a way to
Speaker 2: have a gut check go out there if things aren't
Speaker 2: going your way, the conditions are to ride around you.
Speaker 2: How do you control that? How do you change the narrative?
Speaker 2: Even in the rain? How do you, as a ten
Speaker 2: year veteran experience pitcher, go out there in the third
Speaker 2: inning get into some trouble? The mound isn't how you want.
Speaker 2: The conditions are certainly not what anybody wants out there.
Speaker 2: They're not gonna stop the game for a rain delay.
Speaker 2: Clearly they were gonna play through this thirty minute a
Speaker 2: window of soft, heavy, soft, missed rain in Philadelphia. How
Speaker 2: do you get through this? How do you overcome this?
Speaker 2: Things start to go bad? Walk walk walk, Okay, stop
Speaker 2: the game, stop the momentum, gut check time, and he
Speaker 2: lost it, and he said, he's got to be better
Speaker 2: next time around.
Speaker 3: Well, you know what, is it asking a lot out.
Speaker 2: Of a guy who's been pitching a decade in the
Speaker 2: major leagues to have this kind of instant on the
Speaker 2: mount If they're a young pitcher and the game speeds
Speaker 2: up on you and things get a little out of her,
Speaker 2: out of control, I can see that you're inexperience. The
Speaker 2: moment's too big, The moment sneaks up on you, the
Speaker 2: conditions are right hey, and you lose it. Hey, it happens.
Speaker 2: It happens to everybody. I'm just surprised that happened to
Speaker 2: a guy like Tyler glassnow a veteran, But I guess
Speaker 2: it did, and it affected him. He said it point
Speaker 2: blank after the game. The conditions, everything rattled him and
Speaker 2: he couldn't get his emotions back in check and lost
Speaker 2: it out there on the mound with four walks in
Speaker 2: the inning. And then Alex Vessi comes in, and we're
Speaker 2: gonna get to your phone calls in just a second.
Speaker 2: Alex Vessi comes in. The first pitch he throws to
Speaker 2: Nick Costianos with the bases loaded, is an eighty nine
Speaker 2: mile an hour fastball who Costianos turns it around and
Speaker 2: crushes it for a grand slam to put an exclamation
Speaker 2: point on a six run third inning against the Dodgers.
Speaker 2: Now love alex Vesia. Alex Vesia threw one pitch over
Speaker 2: ninety one miles an hour. I believe in that inning he.
Speaker 3: Just did not have that.
Speaker 2: Ninety three ninety four ninety five mile an hour fastball today,
Speaker 2: not blown to by anybody. Didn't have that pinpoint control.
Speaker 2: And granted, he was thrown into a really tough situation,
Speaker 2: so I give him the benefit of the doubt because
Speaker 2: he's out there. He's thrown into a tough situation. We've
Speaker 2: seen him get out of tough situations before. But you're
Speaker 2: coming in rainy weather, third inning, bases loaded, the guy
Speaker 2: in front of you just unraveled, and you come in there.
Speaker 2: In the first pitch, the guy turns around for a
Speaker 2: grand slam. To VESSI his credit, he did get a
Speaker 2: fly ball out, a ground ball, then a couple more
Speaker 2: flyouts to the second word.
Speaker 3: They hit in the shortstop in shallow left field. So hey,
Speaker 3: he got out of that inning. He worked through the conditions.
Speaker 2: Despite giving up the grand slam on the first pitch,
Speaker 2: that he threw, but again just surprised to see the
Speaker 2: conditions get to Tyler Glass now as much as it did.
Speaker 2: Rick Monday talked about it on the broadcast. You got
Speaker 2: to stop the game, you gotta.
Speaker 3: You've got to.
Speaker 2: Take control of the mound. You're the pitcher, you're in control.
Speaker 2: We're following your lead. You're dictating how things you're going,
Speaker 2: and certainly with the pitch clock the game, that's not
Speaker 2: going to stop for you. So if the game's speeding
Speaker 2: up and emotionally you're starting to get on rap, the
Speaker 2: weather stinks out there, all the conditions are not your favor. Okay,
Speaker 2: the pitch clock's not gonna help you. Because the game's
Speaker 2: just gonna keep going. You've got to somehow pause the game.
Speaker 2: Mark Pryor went out to stop that, and he did
Speaker 2: a great job slowing the game down. But if the
Speaker 2: mound conditions aren't right, again, got to take control that
Speaker 2: as the starting pitch out there, A veteran pitcher in
Speaker 2: this league for a decade. Now go out there, take control,
Speaker 2: say no, no, fix this, take care of this mound.
Speaker 2: Give me something else I can brush my cleats on,
Speaker 2: because this doesn't work. I need something thicker. I need
Speaker 2: to get this mud out of my cleats. It's not working.
Speaker 2: Give me a different rose of back, give me two
Speaker 2: more of these, because these things aren't working. They went
Speaker 2: out there in between the top and bottom of the
Speaker 2: third for Sanchez and put some dry dirt out there
Speaker 2: and looked like they put a new I don't even
Speaker 2: know what you want to call it, a something to
Speaker 2: clean the bottom of your cleats.
Speaker 3: They put a new one out there for Sanchez.
Speaker 2: You could have asked for it during the top half
Speaker 2: of the third, any So that's my point. Rick Monday
Speaker 2: alluded to it, and he's absolutely right. Take control of
Speaker 2: the game out there as the starting pitcher. It got
Speaker 2: away from Tyler Glass Now, he admitted in the postgame show,
Speaker 2: said he hopes he doesn't happen again to him. I'm
Speaker 2: just surprised that happened to a veteran like that and
Speaker 2: speeding up on him. Dodgers Dote come back with three
Speaker 2: runs in the seventh and only to give it back
Speaker 2: with a Andy Pojz miss c.
Speaker 3: And center field.
Speaker 2: That kind of opened the door for the Phillies, who
Speaker 2: took advantage of that miscue to their credit. When you
Speaker 2: open the door for somebody just a little to come
Speaker 2: back late in the game. The Dodgers have done it
Speaker 2: to so many teams. It got done today to them
Speaker 2: with Blake trying it on the mound to walk after
Speaker 2: the double and the Dodgers can't get out of that
Speaker 2: any before giving up two runs and the go ahead
Speaker 2: run on the fielder's choice, and the Phillies win it
Speaker 2: eight to seven, eight six six, nine, eight seven two
Speaker 2: five seventy. Squad to the phones, Justin and Santa Monica
Speaker 2: start things off here on this Sunday afternoon.
Speaker 1: How you doing, Justin, I'm doing good.
Speaker 4: Thanks for taking my call.
Speaker 5: So you know, yeah, looking past with with Tyler today,
Speaker 5: I mean, we just got Jerry and Andy Poez. He's
Speaker 5: got one for twenty. Clearly he sees the problems with
Speaker 5: his defense in this game. There's problems in the Atlanta game.
Speaker 5: I mean, I'm up for Dave Roberts giving people a
Speaker 5: little bit of loot lie here, but at this point,
Speaker 5: I think it's time to bring up here Tom Kim
Speaker 5: or at the very least put Edmund in center field.
Speaker 5: You got to get him out of rotation, send him down,
Speaker 5: let him reset. I think the game is just going way,
Speaker 5: way too fast for him. And then another thing too,
Speaker 5: is like going the defense. I mean, I don't want
Speaker 5: to say of her becoming a Yankees part two so far,
Speaker 5: but our defense has been a problem. And Munchy had
Speaker 5: a double play ball come to him. Should have charged
Speaker 5: that ball to get it a little bit quicker so
Speaker 5: we could have gotten the double play.
Speaker 2: I would have gone home with it, just I would
Speaker 2: have charged that ball and gone home with it. He
Speaker 2: had a step back and let the ball come to him,
Speaker 2: and with Sosa who's fast down the line, it was
Speaker 2: going to be a bang, bang play for the Dodgers
Speaker 2: to get that double play and get out of the
Speaker 2: ending without the run coming across.
Speaker 3: It's a spit second decision, I get it.
Speaker 2: But the way the ball was hit, the way he
Speaker 2: feeled it, I felt it was better to go home
Speaker 2: and get the out at home to prevent the tying
Speaker 2: run or to go ahead run.
Speaker 5: I'm perfect well either way, there could have been a
Speaker 5: better decision or better play on the ball.
Speaker 6: Monthly again, just he doesn't.
Speaker 7: Have the edge.
Speaker 5: But the other thing, I also want to give some
Speaker 5: you know, I know there was a lot of walk
Speaker 5: today Wend.
Speaker 8: They'll stare at behind home plate.
Speaker 4: Just squeezing us a lot of time.
Speaker 5: So, I mean, there's a lot of pitches that we
Speaker 5: should have gotten we didn't get. But I also think
Speaker 5: it's like, bring up Rushing. I'm like, what are we
Speaker 5: doing with this kid? He's just crushing it down there?
Speaker 3: Where's he gonna play?
Speaker 5: Though, gotta be the odd man out?
Speaker 3: Where's he gonna play? Where is Dalton Rushing gonna play?
Speaker 3: That's the problem.
Speaker 8: You got.
Speaker 5: Put him and left Would you rather have Rushing or Conforto?
Speaker 2: Canfordo rushing experiment left field did not work last year
Speaker 2: in Triple A. They are now committed to him playing
Speaker 2: catcher in first base a little bit of the time,
Speaker 2: but back to being a full time catcher, and Will
Speaker 2: Smith is a starting catcher for the Dodgers for the
Speaker 2: next nine years. Yeah, I know, so, yeah, I appreciate
Speaker 2: justin thanks for checking in eight six, six, nine eighty seven,
Speaker 2: seventy eight six six, nine eighty seven, two five seventy.
Speaker 2: You bring up Heisung Kim and what he's done in
Speaker 2: the minor leagues. He's gotten off to a great start
Speaker 2: in Triple A Oklahoma City. But I go back to
Speaker 2: you know, the fact that he struggled in the spring
Speaker 2: in Arizona. It was good for him to go to
Speaker 2: Triple A, Oklahoma City and get his bearings, so to speak,
Speaker 2: here in the United States as coming over and playing
Speaker 2: from South Korea. Maybe two or three weeks now in
Speaker 2: Triple A he's figured it out. He's got into that
Speaker 2: routine now as a professional baseball player, and maybe it's
Speaker 2: time to bring up Heih sung Kim. Maybe it's time
Speaker 2: to bring him up and have him play second base
Speaker 2: and move Tommy Edmond out to center field where we
Speaker 2: know he can play center field. Andy Pott has just
Speaker 2: struggling at the plate and his defense. He had a
Speaker 2: botch play in center field on the last home stand
Speaker 2: against the Braves that opened the door when Blake Snell
Speaker 2: was pitching. And today a miss c in center field.
Speaker 2: You give a team just a little bit, you give
Speaker 2: him a little bit of an opening. Especially Bryce Harper
Speaker 2: hits a laserer center field and you miss play a
Speaker 2: ball that you've got to catch as a big leaguer.
Speaker 2: Now that door is open and the Phillies walk right
Speaker 2: through it, and they scored two runs in the bottom
Speaker 2: of the seventh inning and they go on and win
Speaker 2: it by final of eight to seven eight six, six,
Speaker 2: nine eighty seven two five seventy.
Speaker 3: Let's go to Bob and Malibu's next up here on
Speaker 3: Dodger Talk.
Speaker 6: How you doing, Bob, I'm doing good, Tim.
Speaker 1: How are you today doing good?
Speaker 8: Man?
Speaker 7: Happy to hear it, you know, man, all you could
Speaker 7: say about you know, a couple of the bad things
Speaker 7: that happened today, fine, but I really want to just
Speaker 7: point out how great Jack Dryer looks out there.
Speaker 6: Yeah, we're lucky to have this kid on the mouth.
Speaker 8: Man.
Speaker 7: I mean, he goes too straight clean. He gets into
Speaker 7: a little trouble with two walks in that last inning
Speaker 7: he pitched, but still he looks sharp. He comes out
Speaker 7: of the pull the pin every time we're ready to go.
Speaker 7: He's really been a great asset for the bullpen this year, man,
Speaker 7: So I really just wanted to say, great job of
Speaker 7: that kid. You can knock the team all you want today,
Speaker 7: but the truth of it is is it still fought
Speaker 7: back from.
Speaker 6: Six to two deficits.
Speaker 7: It was a hard fought battle. Hate to see him
Speaker 7: drop it in the end, but you know what, I
Speaker 7: can stand losing eight to seven. I can't stand losing
Speaker 7: six to.
Speaker 3: Two, no doubt about it.
Speaker 2: Appreciate it, Bob, to keep things going. Paul and Huntington Beach.
Speaker 2: Next up here on postgame Dodge Talk, Dodgers lose to
Speaker 2: the Phillies eight seven and Citizens Bank Park.
Speaker 4: How you doing, Paul, Very good, tim Thanks Bud. Listen. Man,
Speaker 4: like the Taias experiment, I don't want to say it's over,
Speaker 4: but that dude, it's not even it's the base running,
Speaker 4: it's the defense. And he's not giving you anything with
Speaker 4: the stick right now. He's simply not good enough to
Speaker 4: be on this team. Not to say the talent isn't there,
Speaker 4: and maybe the guy can figure it out, but he's
Speaker 4: killing us and he's opening the door. Like you said,
Speaker 4: he opened the door for in Atlanta. Against Atlanta, he
Speaker 4: opened the door here in Philadelphia. He's running into outs
Speaker 4: on the bases. He's a deer in headlights. And again,
Speaker 4: the talent's there, that's not the point. The point is
Speaker 4: he's just simply not a good enough baseball player to
Speaker 4: be center field of this Dodgers team in twenty twenty
Speaker 4: five right now. I mean and and by the way,
Speaker 4: look we love Munsey, right Munsey's a long time Dodger
Speaker 4: a lot of big moments, and we want to ride
Speaker 4: that guy out. But at the end of the day,
Speaker 4: like he has a lot of experience at first base,
Speaker 4: I know you don't want to necessarily take him off
Speaker 4: of third and because he's trying to work him into
Speaker 4: the being a big league third baseman. And by the way,
Speaker 4: I had a good year last year, but why not
Speaker 4: flip he and Kyk. You flip He and Kyk and
Speaker 4: all of a sudden, your defense is increased substantially right
Speaker 4: then and there. Not to mention bringing up Kim and
Speaker 4: moving Pies on all that stuff, but just that simple
Speaker 4: fix shores up a lot of the defense. But again,
Speaker 4: I hope Pies can figure it out. But this is
Speaker 4: just simply not working right now. And this look the
Speaker 4: rest of the National League West. I know I got
Speaker 4: a jump, but the rest of the National League West
Speaker 4: is really, really good. You're not gonna win the division
Speaker 4: in April. I'm not suggesting the Dodgers are, you know,
Speaker 4: danger of losing the division. But you lose games like this,
Speaker 4: it can bite you in the back end. You know
Speaker 4: later in the season, no doubt, But hey, have a
Speaker 4: good weekend. We'll see you dude.
Speaker 2: All right, Paul, appreciate it. Just to follow up what
Speaker 2: you were saying about Flip Key k and MAXI Munsey.
Speaker 2: I know David Veasse talked about this, I think yesterday
Speaker 2: on Dodger Talk. You have Freddie Freeman coming back. Yeah,
Speaker 2: he tweeked his ankle. This was more of a precautionary
Speaker 2: ill stint, just to get him off his feed. Let
Speaker 2: him go on the East Coast road trip, come back,
Speaker 2: and Freddie's ready to go when they take on the
Speaker 2: Cubs next Friday at Dodger Stadium. It's not like it's
Speaker 2: a season ending thing. It's not like long term injury
Speaker 2: for Freddie Freeman. So you have to kind of figure out,
Speaker 2: all right, what are we going to do for the
Speaker 2: next three months, What are we going to do for
Speaker 2: the rest of twenty twenty five? No, what are we
Speaker 2: gonna do for a week' that's the issue for the
Speaker 2: Dodgers right now. Thankfully, Freddie will be back in months.
Speaker 2: He'll be back at third, So you don't want to
Speaker 2: go start changing things. Put Max over at first, Kiki
Speaker 2: over at third for six games. It just doesn't make sense.
Speaker 2: So I understand why they're doing it right now. It's
Speaker 2: because Freddy's hurt and key k you know what, plays
Speaker 2: are really good. First base didn't make a pick against
Speaker 2: the Braves the other night, but you know what, it
Speaker 2: was a tough play at first on a short hop.
Speaker 3: But today we made a great double play.
Speaker 2: When Garcia was out there in the eighth inning, he
Speaker 2: had the bases loaded, one out, ball hit to him
Speaker 2: at first on the bag, throws home to Will Smith,
Speaker 2: who puts on the tag for the third out of
Speaker 2: the inning.
Speaker 3: Nice play.
Speaker 2: Early in the game, he had a nice ball hit
Speaker 2: to him, steps on first, throws to Mookie Bets at second,
Speaker 2: who needs to put the tag on the runner to
Speaker 2: get the second out. Mookie takes his eye off the
Speaker 2: ball and it goes off his glove and the runner
Speaker 2: is safe at second.
Speaker 3: Wasn't key Ky's fault. He made a nice play there
Speaker 3: at first base.
Speaker 2: So I don't have an issue with with with Kei
Speaker 2: k a Hernantez is doing at first base. Certainly, Andy
Speaker 2: pat Has in defense in center field is gotta be better.
Speaker 2: The base running has bitten the Dodgers already a couple
Speaker 2: of times now by Andy poe Has and the fact
Speaker 2: that he's hitting now under one twenty in the ninth
Speaker 2: spot is certainly a glaring issue for the Dodgers, so
Speaker 2: I don't know if Haisung Kim is the answer. He's
Speaker 2: off to a really good start in Triple A Oklahoma City.
Speaker 2: He can come up play second base like he was
Speaker 2: signed to do out of South Korea and put Tommy
Speaker 2: Immit in center field. It's certainly an option, but I
Speaker 2: don't know if they're really willing to make that move
Speaker 2: right now. Maybe Haisung Kim needs another week or two
Speaker 2: a seasoning in Triple A.
Speaker 3: I'm not sure.
Speaker 2: Eight sixty six, nine eighty seven, two, five seventy. We'll
Speaker 2: take a quick time out, We'll come back. We'll get
Speaker 2: to more of your phone calls. It was a motial
Speaker 2: check in as well. Tough one for the Dodgers today.
Speaker 2: Down six to two, come back, take the lead in
Speaker 2: the top of the seventh, only to give it back
Speaker 2: in the bottom of the seventh with two runs from
Speaker 2: the Phillies. They win it eight to seven over the
Speaker 2: Dodgers hostgame. Dodger Talk continues here on a FI seventy

Speaker 1: Pitch to the Oscar swings hits it a long way
Speaker 1: down the right field line toward the pole. It is
Speaker 1: off the pole for a home run.
Speaker 6: They Oscar with a second home run of the ball game,
Speaker 6: and it's six to three.
Speaker 2: Ta Oscar Hernandez goes deep in the first, goes deep

Speaker 2: RBI from t Oscar Hernandez, the Dodgers unable to hang
Speaker 2: on for the win in Philadelphia. They gave up two
Speaker 2: runs at the bottom of the seventh as the fighting
Speaker 2: Fills fight their way back for an eight seven win.
Speaker 1: It's time to go around the horn with Hoseane Moda.
Speaker 3: All right, Hose.
Speaker 2: Tough one for the Dodgers Friday night. They kind of
Speaker 2: hurt themselves with them base running today. They hurt themselves
Speaker 2: late in the game. The anti pot has plays really
Speaker 2: getting magnified. For that seventh inning double that Bryce Harper
Speaker 2: let off the inning with, they made the catch. They
Speaker 2: give him an extra out though because of the mis queue,
Speaker 2: and they really opened the door for the Phillies there
Speaker 2: in the seventh.
Speaker 6: If you look at that seventh setting and you look
Speaker 6: at that whole series or tim you see that the
Speaker 6: Dodgers have faced the toughest team so far. They face
Speaker 6: you know, the Cubs, the Tigers, the Braves, and then
Speaker 6: you face the Phillies one through nine. There's no comparison
Speaker 6: on any other line up there faced. You have to
Speaker 6: make every outcount, You got to make every pitch count.
Speaker 6: You got to get out there and forget about the conditions.
Speaker 6: You know, coming from behind is great, and it's a
Speaker 6: great liner for us. You know broadcasters come from behind
Speaker 6: wins great. You don't want to get into that habit.
Speaker 6: It's not sustainable. Okay, it's not sustainable. Nonetheless, we also
Speaker 6: find out that the Dodgers have a lot of fight
Speaker 6: in them, which is great, but in this series there
Speaker 6: are exposed to so many things that perhaps were you know,
Speaker 6: kind of went by the wayside the first seven or
Speaker 6: eight games where against a team like the Phillies there
Speaker 6: you're not going to be able to escape with all this.
Speaker 6: Obviously the biggest issue was the rain, and his coach
Speaker 6: Wooden used to say, the conditions are the same for
Speaker 6: both teams. You got to put it aside. You have
Speaker 6: a right to stop the game. You have a right
Speaker 6: to say I'm still not getting a good grip. And
Speaker 6: beyond that, I'm glad that admitted because it was clearly
Speaker 6: obvious that more than physical mechanically or the conditions, he
Speaker 6: just gotten his head way too much and he just
Speaker 6: couldn't get it over said, so you know when that
Speaker 6: case het a Kevin Concert is them for level of
Speaker 6: the game and just clear the mechanism.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm surprised, Hose, and I said it earlier. He's
Speaker 2: not a rookie, He's not a young guy out there
Speaker 2: facing adversity. With the conditions also battling against him, and
Speaker 2: he's in the major leagues for ten years now. I'm
Speaker 2: surprised this is something that got to him as much
Speaker 2: as it did, because he he emotionally just you can
Speaker 2: see in his face wiping his hand on his leg.
Speaker 2: The conditions weren't good. He was bothered by it. The
Speaker 2: blue pit frustrated him. He lost his command emotionally, he
Speaker 2: lost it out.
Speaker 3: There on the mountain.
Speaker 2: I'm surprised a guy like that the conditions affected.
Speaker 6: It is surprising. It is to me too, But he's
Speaker 6: so desperation and Mark Pryored waving his hands saying, wait
Speaker 6: a minute, somebody do something about this. Okay, I was
Speaker 6: a picture. I know what it takes, says Mark Prior, right.
Speaker 6: But also for Tommy Glass to understand, he needs to
Speaker 6: understand one thing. He's six eight his extension, it's unmatched
Speaker 6: on what a hitter perceived velocity wise, and when he
Speaker 6: releases a baseball. Coming into this game, righthanders were all
Speaker 6: for eight, okay, and left hands were two for nine.
Speaker 6: This guy just doesn't walk people. There's numbers from last season.
Speaker 6: He is a strike thrower. He cannot be effective by
Speaker 6: things like this. Hopefully because he did admit it, he
Speaker 6: can reset and push that button and say, Okay, I
Speaker 6: am supposed to be an eighthier. Listen the other thing
Speaker 6: to Tim because the rotation set up the way it
Speaker 6: is right now one through five, forget about that. We
Speaker 6: know what happens come September, came October. Your name could
Speaker 6: be called number one in the series of the Poortan
Speaker 6: series because you have the stuff and he playing for
Speaker 6: the Dodgers, right So for him, I think it is
Speaker 6: just taking that leadership and say, you know what, I
Speaker 6: got to put this on behind me, but I know
Speaker 6: there's some things I have to do much better on
Speaker 6: the mental side.
Speaker 2: We found out before the game Blake Snell placed on
Speaker 2: the injured list with left shoulder inflammation. Matt sour guy
Speaker 2: called up from Triple A Oklahoma City, was already with
Speaker 2: the team, most likely going to be activated to pitch
Speaker 2: in Washington, DC, and most likely that's where we're going
Speaker 2: to see him pitch, either Tuesday or Wednesday night. But
Speaker 2: Blake SNeW through a bullpen session today and from what
Speaker 2: I heard, it was cut short because he had discomfort
Speaker 2: in that left shoulder and there was a discussion with
Speaker 2: Brandon Gomes and Mark Pryor and the pit and the
Speaker 2: training staff, and then they placed him on the IL.
Speaker 2: I'm a little concerned about this here that it's April
Speaker 2: sixth and already discomfort in the shoulder.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you can't like that. In the fact that you know,
Speaker 6: he comes into an organization we've seen some inconsistencies with him.
Speaker 6: We seem some dipping in velocity. This guy can still
Speaker 6: pitch with whatever he has velocity was and stuff, But
Speaker 6: with the history here the last couple of seasons, there's
Speaker 6: no doubt the fans have a right and we all
Speaker 6: have a right to go. Okay, let's hope this stops,
Speaker 6: and hopefully there's just something that came up because of
Speaker 6: the short spring training and the push on getting ready
Speaker 6: early and pitching in the back fields and facing you know,
Speaker 6: catches league hitters and then you know, going to Tokyo things.
Speaker 6: Fact that for a guy that, remember last season, did
Speaker 6: not even have a full spring training himself, so there's
Speaker 6: a lot of things that to me that he's still
Speaker 6: kind of catching on with even though he ended the
Speaker 6: season so well. So let's pray and hope that this
Speaker 6: is one where just you know, the information goes down
Speaker 6: there for a couple of outings missed and he can
Speaker 6: go out there and be dominant fours that he can be, no.
Speaker 2: Doubt about it, Jose. Tough one for the Dodgers today,
Speaker 2: but back at it tomorrow for the start of a
Speaker 2: three game series against the Nationals and uh tri The
Speaker 2: Dodgers will be ready to go and hopefully put this
Speaker 2: one behind them in this series behind them moving forward.
Speaker 3: We appreciate it, Jose, you got it.
Speaker 6: Don't take the mind if they just beat you know, Arizona.
Speaker 3: Three today exactly. Don't sleep on the Washington Nationals.
Speaker 6: Jose.
Speaker 2: We'll talk to you during this series. By the way,
Speaker 2: we'll get back to the phones in just a second.
Speaker 2: Talking about Andy pajas what to do with him, and
Speaker 2: alluded to high Sun Kim and Triple A Oklahoma City
Speaker 2: and the start that he's gotten off to. Yeah, he's
Speaker 2: played really well defensively, which he did during the spring.
Speaker 2: It was his offense that was just not there and
Speaker 2: ready for him to break camp with the Dodgers to
Speaker 2: go and start the season at the major league level.
Speaker 3: He's played a lot.
Speaker 2: Better at the plate in his few first ten days
Speaker 2: in Triple A Oklahoma City. Now this has been pointed
Speaker 2: out on social media a video that shows him in
Speaker 2: the dugout before today's Oklahoma City Comets game, and he's
Speaker 2: seen high fiving players, hugging a player, and then hugging
Speaker 2: the OKAC manager Scott Hennessy in the dugout before the
Speaker 2: game started. He wasn't in the lineup. So maybe there's
Speaker 2: a call up coming for High Sung Kim, the South
Speaker 2: Korean middle infielder.
Speaker 3: We'll find out, we'll see.
Speaker 2: But the super sluice on social media looking at a
Speaker 2: video from the dugout in Oklahoma City and he seems
Speaker 2: to be being congratulated by other people in that dugout
Speaker 2: and then not in the lineup today for the Oklahoma
Speaker 2: City Commets the Dodgers Triple A team. So we'll see
Speaker 2: if any kind of move is made if he joins
Speaker 2: the team in Washington, DC. Or maybe it's just a
Speaker 2: congratulating Sunday for High Sung Kim in the dugout. That's
Speaker 2: something they do in the minor leagues. Who knows, But
Speaker 2: interesting to see that video. You'll pop up here in
Speaker 2: the last hour. All right, it's go back out to
Speaker 2: the phone. Sasan in West Hills. Thanks for joining us
Speaker 2: here on Dodge Talk.
Speaker 8: How you doing, Hey, jam.
Speaker 4: Thanks for taking my call.
Speaker 9: I just had another thing. The social media smooths also
Speaker 9: pointed out that Dalton Rushing is also playing in left
Speaker 9: field and O Casey, you don't know if you happen
Speaker 9: to see that as well. I know you mentioned it
Speaker 9: would be unlikely allowed due to his experience previous, but
Speaker 9: that's something they pointed out. I did have a question.
Speaker 9: My question was about I think you kind of answered
Speaker 9: it with how with glass now and the control over
Speaker 9: the conditions on the field, But is he the only
Speaker 9: person who has control to call the ground screw and
Speaker 9: the umpires or does the head I'm umpire, the crew
Speaker 9: cham of the empiring crew, and the manager also have
Speaker 9: the ability to kind of call the game, to have
Speaker 9: the ground screw kind of redo the mound and consider
Speaker 9: some of the conditions on the field.
Speaker 4: That was kind of my question.
Speaker 3: I appreciate it, Thank you, Thank you so son.
Speaker 2: I'm assuming that the bench, the manager, coaching staff, I'm
Speaker 2: sure they can go out there and say, hey, we
Speaker 2: need some help out there. But the pictures out there,
Speaker 2: the pictures on the mound, You've also got to be
Speaker 2: the one to initiate this. And if you've got an issue,
Speaker 2: then say something. If if you have a problem, say
Speaker 2: something to your bench, say something to the home plate umpire. Hey,
Speaker 2: let's fix this. I'm not comfortable out here. You know,
Speaker 2: it's too slushy, it's too muddy. We can't you know,
Speaker 2: we can't pitch in this kind of condition right now.
Speaker 2: If it's gonna be raining and have mud out here,
Speaker 2: I'm slipping and falling. I'm worried about slipping and hurting myself.
Speaker 7: You know.
Speaker 2: That's why they have got those cleek cleaners out there,
Speaker 2: those throw down cleet cleaners, And they put a new
Speaker 2: one out there in between the second that I'm shooting
Speaker 2: the top and the bottom of the third inning for Suarez,
Speaker 2: and that that's our Sanchez. Excuse me, that was done
Speaker 2: for him. They put dry dirt out there for Sanchez
Speaker 2: in the bottom of the third. Just take control of
Speaker 2: the situation. Stop the game, get yourself out there, get
Speaker 2: emotionally right. And if you're not good to pitch out
Speaker 2: there because you're worried about slipping or you're worried about
Speaker 2: your plant leg coming down, because you really as Josey
Speaker 2: mentioned a six foot eight frame when he extends the pitching.
Speaker 2: You know, he's really out there. If you're worried about that,
Speaker 2: you've got to say something, fix it. And he alluded
Speaker 2: to it in the postgame show. You heard the audio
Speaker 2: saying that he was concerned, it was in his mind
Speaker 2: about the conditions. Got to stop the game. You got
Speaker 2: to get it right and get back out there on
Speaker 2: the mound. Man, Well and Guardina, thanks for being patient.
Speaker 8: Mel Man.
Speaker 3: Well, how you doing?
Speaker 7: Hey? Man?
Speaker 6: First off, happy belated Bertin.
Speaker 3: Oh, thank you. I appreciate that.
Speaker 2: Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 1: Hey.
Speaker 6: So we've all we all.
Speaker 4: Know Pie Hayes's a demonstration. As I said the other day,
Speaker 4: guy's got to get it together. I would much rather
Speaker 4: have you been.
Speaker 10: Chris Taylor out there late in the innings, just as
Speaker 10: a defensive replacement. That being said, I like what it
Speaker 10: callers said earlier that the Dot did show some fight
Speaker 10: today coming back from a big deficit. One thing I
Speaker 10: don't like is Man getting into some bad base running habits.
Speaker 4: You know, nobody's.
Speaker 8: Mentioned the fact that show, Hey that remember when they
Speaker 8: have second and third and there was a fly ball
Speaker 8: might have been shallow or what not. But show Hay
Speaker 8: should have been right there tagging up no matter what,
Speaker 8: make them make a play, you know what I mean.
Speaker 8: Don't get caught in between and then get stranded like
Speaker 8: he did. I'd much rather have an aggressive base running
Speaker 8: that tries to score the run and.
Speaker 4: Makes that outfield or make a play.
Speaker 8: That being said, Man, I think it's time for Kim
Speaker 8: to come up because we need to put priority on
Speaker 8: this defense and the pitch. He needs to step up.
Speaker 10: Man, that's ten or eleven wats ain't gonna cut it, man,
Speaker 10: you know, and you're not gonna win many games with
Speaker 10: other team scores nine runs.
Speaker 4: Hey, great, show Tim.
Speaker 8: Gve you my brother, all right.
Speaker 3: I love you too.
Speaker 8: Man.
Speaker 3: Well, great to hear from you.
Speaker 2: They'll be interesting to see what they do with the
Speaker 2: roster in the next twenty four hours. Is certainly what
Speaker 2: they're gonna do with the pitching staff in the next
Speaker 2: couple of days. With Blake Snell going to the injured
Speaker 2: list with the left shoulder inflammation he was supposed to
Speaker 2: start on Tuesday, Matt Sower was brought up from TRIPLEA
Speaker 2: Oklahoma City. Does that mean he'll step in and get
Speaker 2: the starting spot on Tuesday, when Blake Snell's spot comes
Speaker 2: up in the rotation, we'll find out they already made
Speaker 2: it known that Wednesday was going to be a bullpen game,
Speaker 2: or they were gonna bring somebody up to start that game,
Speaker 2: to allow Yamamoto to get an extra day's rest with
Speaker 2: the off day on Thursday, so he could pitch on
Speaker 2: Friday against the Cubs at Dodger Stadium. So they're helping
Speaker 2: their pitchers by giving him more days off in between starts.
Speaker 2: But now they got to fill some of these spots now,
Speaker 2: especially with Blake Snell going on the injured list, that
Speaker 2: certainly made things interesting. Tony Gonsolin, just to keep something
Speaker 2: in mind, Tony Gonsolin got a minor league rehab start
Speaker 2: on Thursday, and I believe he went two plus innings
Speaker 2: in Oklahoma City. He could be somebody you bring up
Speaker 2: to spart to start on Tuesday. And I say that
Speaker 2: because of the amount of days in between starts. If
Speaker 2: he pitched on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday would
Speaker 2: be the next day that he would start in triple
Speaker 2: Oklahoma City, or at least get some innings underneath his belt.
Speaker 2: Maybe that's an opportunity for him to be activated off
Speaker 2: the injured list and take a spot in the rotation.
Speaker 2: So we'll see what they end up doing. They're gonna
Speaker 2: do some juggling, no doubt about it. The Dodgers are
Speaker 2: really good about this with the roster and making sure
Speaker 2: they've got the right guys there, and especially with this
Speaker 2: road trip and the need for starting pitching because the
Speaker 2: bullpen's starting to get used a little bit. I think
Speaker 2: the Dodgers will be in a good situation bringing guys
Speaker 2: up to fill those innings. Certainly, you don't want to
Speaker 2: see Blake Snell go on the injured list, and that's
Speaker 2: something we're going to keep an eye on. And how
Speaker 2: many starts does he miss? Is it one start? Is
Speaker 2: it two starts? For Blake Snell in these shoulder inflammation.
Speaker 2: That's gonna do it for postgame Dodger talk MANI thanks
Speaker 2: to everybody for being a part of the show, for listening.
Speaker 2: Thanks to Colin Yee as always the best of the best.
Speaker 2: Dodgers lose a tough one in Philadelphia. They find out
Speaker 2: before the game. Blake Snell goes to the engine list.
Speaker 2: Tyler glassnowt can't get out of the third inning with
Speaker 2: the rain and the elements, Dodgers down six to two,
Speaker 2: battle all the way back, take the lead, only to
Speaker 2: give it up in the bottom of the seventh and
Speaker 2: lose eight to seven. Dodgers drop two to three, they
Speaker 2: fall to nine to two.
Speaker 3: Back at it.
Speaker 2: Tomorrow, trip to the White House, and then take it
Speaker 2: on the Washington Nationals, the first of three in Nationals Park,
Speaker 2: Dustin May Mackenzie Gore. The pitching matchup Dodgers on Deck
Speaker 2: will get started at two thirty, right after petrols of money.
Speaker 2: First pitch set for three forty five. It's a gorgeous
Speaker 2: Sunday afternoon. Go out and enjoy it. Everybody, so long
Speaker 2: stop
