<v Speaker 2>great job as I am filling in for Kirsten Watson

<v Speaker 2>Sports and Dodger Talk all as well with kirston. She

19
00:00:56.320 --> 00:00:58.960
<v Speaker 2>just chose to take this road trip off and she

20
00:00:59.039 --> 00:01:01.920
<v Speaker 2>will be back money day when the Dodgers return home

21
00:01:02.359 --> 00:01:07.079
<v Speaker 2>for a ten game homestand beginning with Justin Turner and

22
00:01:07.159 --> 00:01:11.120
<v Speaker 2>the Seattle Mariners on Monday night at Dodgers Stadium. So

23
00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:14.280
<v Speaker 2>looking forward to that, looking forward to talking to you tonight.

24
00:01:14.319 --> 00:01:17.480
<v Speaker 2>Between now and eight thirty, we have a great show

25
00:01:17.560 --> 00:01:20.000
<v Speaker 2>for you. We are going to take your phone calls.

26
00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:22.879
<v Speaker 2>We are going to talk about the tough decisions the

27
00:01:22.920 --> 00:01:26.120
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers have to make here in the next couple of days,

28
00:01:26.120 --> 00:01:29.760
<v Speaker 2>with Tommy Edmund and Max Munsey coming back. Also, you

29
00:01:29.840 --> 00:01:33.000
<v Speaker 2>will hear from Tyler Glass now. We caught up with

30
00:01:33.079 --> 00:01:36.079
<v Speaker 2>him before today's game. Wanted to hear from him what's

31
00:01:36.159 --> 00:01:40.519
<v Speaker 2>going on with his elbow and exactly how things went

32
00:01:40.640 --> 00:01:44.239
<v Speaker 2>down from a bullpen session that he completed with no

33
00:01:44.400 --> 00:01:48.239
<v Speaker 2>pain to landing on the il with right elbow ten

34
00:01:48.280 --> 00:01:50.439
<v Speaker 2>to nine ers. So we will hear from Tyler Glass

35
00:01:50.480 --> 00:01:52.640
<v Speaker 2>now coming up at the top of the hour.

36
00:01:53.079 --> 00:01:54.000
<v Speaker 3>But as far as.

37
00:01:53.920 --> 00:01:57.680
<v Speaker 2>This game goes tonight, I was really hoping Bobby Miller

38
00:01:58.040 --> 00:02:01.519
<v Speaker 2>would be able to shove and get everybody back on

39
00:02:01.599 --> 00:02:05.799
<v Speaker 2>the Bobby Ice bandwagon. It just did not materialize, and

40
00:02:05.879 --> 00:02:07.439
<v Speaker 2>you could see it in the first inning.

41
00:02:07.879 --> 00:02:09.879
<v Speaker 3>It was a Bobby.

42
00:02:09.560 --> 00:02:13.240
<v Speaker 2>Miller that did not have command of his secondary pitches.

43
00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:17.039
<v Speaker 2>And I love the breakdown Jose Mota gave us because

44
00:02:17.599 --> 00:02:19.439
<v Speaker 2>it kind of looked that way even though we are

45
00:02:19.479 --> 00:02:22.639
<v Speaker 2>pretty high up here in the press box, it looked

46
00:02:22.680 --> 00:02:27.800
<v Speaker 2>like Bobby Miller was pushing his pitches and he's throwing

47
00:02:27.919 --> 00:02:30.680
<v Speaker 2>ninety eight. I know, I understand all that. I know

48
00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:33.000
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers would not pitch him in a game if

49
00:02:33.360 --> 00:02:37.120
<v Speaker 2>he was not healthy. He was supposed to start in

50
00:02:37.360 --> 00:02:40.159
<v Speaker 2>Oklahoma City, but was scratched from his start a couple

51
00:02:40.240 --> 00:02:43.719
<v Speaker 2>of days ago, so he was a full go down there.

52
00:02:43.800 --> 00:02:47.240
<v Speaker 2>But you have to wonder whether or not Bobby Miller

53
00:02:47.479 --> 00:02:51.719
<v Speaker 2>is being honest with himself and honest with the Dodgers

54
00:02:51.759 --> 00:02:56.280
<v Speaker 2>about how he's feeling physically with his shoulder. Two seasons

55
00:02:56.280 --> 00:02:59.919
<v Speaker 2>in a row with some shoulder issues that have delayed

56
00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:03.800
<v Speaker 2>his seasons and put him on the il two years

57
00:03:03.840 --> 00:03:06.639
<v Speaker 2>in a row, and all of a sudden, maybe he

58
00:03:06.800 --> 00:03:10.759
<v Speaker 2>was overcompensating and that's why he had a groin injury

59
00:03:11.520 --> 00:03:15.360
<v Speaker 2>that prevented him from pitching for about a week and

60
00:03:15.400 --> 00:03:19.159
<v Speaker 2>a half two weeks. You just wonder, and I over

61
00:03:19.199 --> 00:03:23.360
<v Speaker 2>the years, not just with baseball, but the NBA and

62
00:03:23.479 --> 00:03:28.680
<v Speaker 2>college football, covering those sports a lot, you see really

63
00:03:28.680 --> 00:03:32.080
<v Speaker 2>good players not perform at the level that you have

64
00:03:32.199 --> 00:03:35.919
<v Speaker 2>seen them perform before. And instead of just jumping to

65
00:03:35.960 --> 00:03:37.840
<v Speaker 2>the conclusion, Ah he's washed.

66
00:03:37.879 --> 00:03:38.599
<v Speaker 3>He stinks.

67
00:03:39.080 --> 00:03:42.000
<v Speaker 2>A young man like Bobby Miller doesn't just lose it.

68
00:03:42.680 --> 00:03:45.680
<v Speaker 2>You have to wonder if there is something physically going

69
00:03:45.719 --> 00:03:49.199
<v Speaker 2>on that he's trying to push through because he feels

70
00:03:49.199 --> 00:03:53.000
<v Speaker 2>the urgency of not only his season, but also making

71
00:03:53.039 --> 00:03:56.560
<v Speaker 2>a mark in his career with his very competitive Dodger

72
00:03:56.639 --> 00:03:59.000
<v Speaker 2>pitching staff. Not just with the guys that are here

73
00:03:59.080 --> 00:04:02.159
<v Speaker 2>right now, but you know the guys that are coming

74
00:04:02.240 --> 00:04:04.599
<v Speaker 2>up through the system. You don't want to be passed

75
00:04:04.639 --> 00:04:08.120
<v Speaker 2>up like Tony Gonsolin and Dustin may have been passed

76
00:04:08.199 --> 00:04:10.400
<v Speaker 2>up by a lot of other young pitchers in the

77
00:04:10.439 --> 00:04:14.400
<v Speaker 2>Dodger organization. So I'm sure he feels that pressure as

78
00:04:14.439 --> 00:04:17.720
<v Speaker 2>well to pitch. I saw him on the bus today.

79
00:04:18.279 --> 00:04:20.920
<v Speaker 2>You know, I just on the mount. It doesn't matter

80
00:04:20.959 --> 00:04:23.560
<v Speaker 2>what I see on the bus. What I saw on

81
00:04:23.600 --> 00:04:26.600
<v Speaker 2>the mounta tonight was not a confident Bobby Miller. That's

82
00:04:26.680 --> 00:04:29.759
<v Speaker 2>not the same Bobby Miller we saw last year. He

83
00:04:29.920 --> 00:04:33.560
<v Speaker 2>dominated this Cardinals lineup last year, and you're telling me

84
00:04:33.759 --> 00:04:38.879
<v Speaker 2>tonight he can't go even five innings. There's something off,

85
00:04:39.240 --> 00:04:41.480
<v Speaker 2>and I'm not sure when we're going to find out.

86
00:04:41.600 --> 00:04:43.639
<v Speaker 2>And I'm not sure when Bobby's going to be honest

87
00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:47.959
<v Speaker 2>with himself, because right now he's not the same guy.

88
00:04:48.560 --> 00:04:50.959
<v Speaker 2>Let's head downstairs right now before we get to your

89
00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:51.439
<v Speaker 2>phone call.

90
00:04:51.480 --> 00:04:52.240
<v Speaker 3>So we have two.

91
00:04:52.079 --> 00:04:54.879
<v Speaker 2>Lines open at eight six six, nine eighty seven, two

92
00:04:54.920 --> 00:04:58.680
<v Speaker 2>five seventy. Let's hear from Bobby Miller and what he

93
00:04:58.800 --> 00:05:00.399
<v Speaker 2>had to say after tonight's games.

94
00:05:00.759 --> 00:05:03.160
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, you know, I've obviously been working on a lot,

95
00:05:03.399 --> 00:05:07.199
<v Speaker 4>but I mean the biggest thing was working on delivery

96
00:05:07.360 --> 00:05:10.680
<v Speaker 4>and stuff like that, like mechanics, trying to get the

97
00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:13.000
<v Speaker 4>velocity back. Might have been chasing that a little bit

98
00:05:13.040 --> 00:05:16.800
<v Speaker 4>too much instead of just pure pitching. You know, I

99
00:05:16.800 --> 00:05:19.040
<v Speaker 4>can build off off of tonight as well. You know,

100
00:05:20.279 --> 00:05:22.800
<v Speaker 4>really just tonight, it was just falling behind a couple

101
00:05:22.800 --> 00:05:26.519
<v Speaker 4>of guys, like two oh two to one. Yeah, one

102
00:05:26.519 --> 00:05:28.759
<v Speaker 4>of the homers. I thought, I got very inside. You know,

103
00:05:28.800 --> 00:05:32.639
<v Speaker 4>it's two h count. There's no excuse for that. Yeah,

104
00:05:32.720 --> 00:05:34.319
<v Speaker 4>just falling behind. You know, I feel like if I

105
00:05:34.439 --> 00:05:36.800
<v Speaker 4>got ahead of a lot more betters today, Strike one,

106
00:05:36.879 --> 00:05:40.079
<v Speaker 4>get one would have been a completely different ball game.

107
00:05:40.560 --> 00:05:43.720
<v Speaker 4>But yeah, delivery fell a lot better, you know, walks

108
00:05:43.759 --> 00:05:46.279
<v Speaker 4>her down, but still falling behind accounts.

109
00:05:46.399 --> 00:05:48.920
<v Speaker 5>So I lost was like ninety nine ish in the

110
00:05:48.920 --> 00:05:50.439
<v Speaker 5>first thing that kind of dipped it from there?

111
00:05:50.519 --> 00:05:52.240
<v Speaker 3>Is that just sort of getting out of your delivery

112
00:05:52.319 --> 00:05:52.879
<v Speaker 3>and sort of.

113
00:05:54.519 --> 00:05:56.959
<v Speaker 4>That think, you know, I've just had a lot of

114
00:05:57.000 --> 00:06:01.600
<v Speaker 4>time in between these last few outings, sliolly building endurance

115
00:06:01.639 --> 00:06:04.360
<v Speaker 4>back up right now. My arm felt great the whole

116
00:06:04.360 --> 00:06:07.680
<v Speaker 4>time threwout, so you know, could have just been like

117
00:06:07.800 --> 00:06:10.120
<v Speaker 4>first game back. Jader's a little bit had that a

118
00:06:10.160 --> 00:06:12.759
<v Speaker 4>little bit today, but you know, I'm felt good. Just

119
00:06:13.279 --> 00:06:16.639
<v Speaker 4>fell behind some hitters and next time out there, you know,

120
00:06:16.800 --> 00:06:18.720
<v Speaker 4>just focus on getting strike one and it'll be a

121
00:06:18.720 --> 00:06:19.439
<v Speaker 4>different ballgame.

122
00:06:19.639 --> 00:06:21.160
<v Speaker 6>Have you guys been able to like just say, for

123
00:06:21.279 --> 00:06:23.519
<v Speaker 6>like why and me don't speak and man hasn't quick

124
00:06:23.560 --> 00:06:23.839
<v Speaker 6>down there?

125
00:06:23.879 --> 00:06:24.160
<v Speaker 7>That for you?

126
00:06:24.279 --> 00:06:27.560
<v Speaker 4>This year really just pulling off towards the first play

127
00:06:27.600 --> 00:06:29.480
<v Speaker 4>side a little bit, you know on the slider. Those

128
00:06:29.839 --> 00:06:33.639
<v Speaker 4>hulled sliders really just came from like pulling off, you know,

129
00:06:33.720 --> 00:06:35.720
<v Speaker 4>trying to focus too much down and the way instead

130
00:06:35.759 --> 00:06:37.920
<v Speaker 4>of think keeping the line middle and making it look

131
00:06:38.000 --> 00:06:41.279
<v Speaker 4>more like a strike the whole time. My last outing

132
00:06:41.279 --> 00:06:44.560
<v Speaker 4>the slider was a lot better. I wasn't really yanking

133
00:06:44.639 --> 00:06:47.560
<v Speaker 4>at that much. Yeah, I definitely could have thrown the

134
00:06:47.639 --> 00:06:49.319
<v Speaker 4>change up a little more tonight as well. It wasn't

135
00:06:49.319 --> 00:06:50.839
<v Speaker 4>there at the beginning of a game, but towards the

136
00:06:50.959 --> 00:06:53.639
<v Speaker 4>end it felt really good. Kind of some swinging misses

137
00:06:53.680 --> 00:06:56.000
<v Speaker 4>on it, but they also had some really good takes

138
00:06:56.000 --> 00:06:57.720
<v Speaker 4>on some change ups as well. So you got to

139
00:06:57.759 --> 00:06:59.439
<v Speaker 4>tip the cap on that we.

140
00:06:59.439 --> 00:06:59.839
<v Speaker 3>Had to move.

141
00:07:00.040 --> 00:07:02.680
<v Speaker 8>The factor has been able to command the.

142
00:07:02.639 --> 00:07:06.839
<v Speaker 5>Secondary stuff been this year, leading to some of these troubles.

143
00:07:10.639 --> 00:07:13.079
<v Speaker 4>You know, towards the end of the game, I thought

144
00:07:13.120 --> 00:07:15.480
<v Speaker 4>it was a little bit better. Really only really had

145
00:07:15.519 --> 00:07:16.759
<v Speaker 4>the the curve ball at the end of the game

146
00:07:16.759 --> 00:07:18.839
<v Speaker 4>and the change up. But if I had that change

147
00:07:18.879 --> 00:07:20.600
<v Speaker 4>up in the beginning of the game, I think it

148
00:07:20.639 --> 00:07:23.319
<v Speaker 4>would have been a different story as well, showing different

149
00:07:23.319 --> 00:07:25.959
<v Speaker 4>speeds and stuff instead of just a lot of high

150
00:07:25.959 --> 00:07:27.759
<v Speaker 4>glossy fastballs. That's pretty much it.

151
00:07:28.240 --> 00:07:30.480
<v Speaker 5>We hadn't taping you. Obvious instant decision to kind of

152
00:07:30.519 --> 00:07:32.160
<v Speaker 5>send you down they the house for priding.

153
00:07:32.240 --> 00:07:34.240
<v Speaker 6>It was after you important and tough since you.

154
00:07:34.319 --> 00:07:37.079
<v Speaker 4>Kind of did that news that he was on the Oh,

155
00:07:37.120 --> 00:07:39.560
<v Speaker 4>it was very tough, you know, But I mean I

156
00:07:39.600 --> 00:07:41.680
<v Speaker 4>wasn't surprised either, you know, That's how I was pitching,

157
00:07:43.079 --> 00:07:45.360
<v Speaker 4>you know, coming back from the injury. Uh, it was

158
00:07:45.480 --> 00:07:48.439
<v Speaker 4>it was really tough, you know, just coming back in

159
00:07:48.480 --> 00:07:50.360
<v Speaker 4>the middle of the season when a lot of people

160
00:07:50.360 --> 00:07:52.800
<v Speaker 4>were in mid season fom you know, I didn't realize

161
00:07:52.800 --> 00:07:54.759
<v Speaker 4>how tough it would actually be. I definitely took that

162
00:07:54.800 --> 00:07:58.560
<v Speaker 4>for granted, you know, just solely slowly building off each

163
00:07:58.600 --> 00:08:00.480
<v Speaker 4>outing right now, you know I couldn't. I can definitely

164
00:08:00.519 --> 00:08:03.480
<v Speaker 4>build off the night. It's really just falling behind a

165
00:08:03.480 --> 00:08:06.279
<v Speaker 4>few guys. And I really think that was just the

166
00:08:06.480 --> 00:08:09.480
<v Speaker 4>weak spot tonight, was falling behind with early off speed

167
00:08:09.519 --> 00:08:12.560
<v Speaker 4>and fastball as he ink in a couple but you know,

168
00:08:12.639 --> 00:08:15.199
<v Speaker 4>just folks on getting the strike one on every single

169
00:08:15.199 --> 00:08:16.639
<v Speaker 4>batter and stiffen ball game.

170
00:08:18.040 --> 00:08:19.360
<v Speaker 3>All right, there's Bobby Miller.

171
00:08:19.399 --> 00:08:22.360
<v Speaker 2>And thanks to my guy Jan Terribio from Dodgers dot

172
00:08:22.399 --> 00:08:26.879
<v Speaker 2>com for bringing us Bobby Miller in the Dodger Clubhouse.

173
00:08:27.160 --> 00:08:30.680
<v Speaker 2>And look, he was very honest right there with his

174
00:08:30.759 --> 00:08:34.200
<v Speaker 2>answers when he got when he came back from the

175
00:08:34.279 --> 00:08:37.240
<v Speaker 2>setback with his shoulder to start the year. He took

176
00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:40.240
<v Speaker 2>for granted how tough it is to just parachute in

177
00:08:40.279 --> 00:08:42.840
<v Speaker 2>the middle of the season was start one, while other

178
00:08:42.919 --> 00:08:45.960
<v Speaker 2>pitchers have had a full spring training and are well

179
00:08:45.960 --> 00:08:48.759
<v Speaker 2>ahead of him. So I took That was one of

180
00:08:48.799 --> 00:08:51.120
<v Speaker 2>the biggest things I took away from listening to what

181
00:08:51.159 --> 00:08:54.440
<v Speaker 2>he had to say right there and also being honest

182
00:08:54.480 --> 00:08:57.960
<v Speaker 2>with himself to the with the two to zero fastball

183
00:08:58.000 --> 00:09:00.799
<v Speaker 2>to Alec Burlison for a two run the home run,

184
00:09:01.559 --> 00:09:06.799
<v Speaker 2>which you know was was basically the reason being he

185
00:09:06.960 --> 00:09:09.799
<v Speaker 2>could not land his breaking stuff, and that was in

186
00:09:09.840 --> 00:09:12.879
<v Speaker 2>the third inning with one out, he got Victor Scott,

187
00:09:12.879 --> 00:09:15.840
<v Speaker 2>the nine hitter, to fly out to center field, gave

188
00:09:15.919 --> 00:09:18.840
<v Speaker 2>up a base hit to Mason Win, and then Win

189
00:09:19.360 --> 00:09:21.440
<v Speaker 2>was able to come around and score on the two

190
00:09:21.519 --> 00:09:24.759
<v Speaker 2>run home run by Alec Burlison. But that seems to

191
00:09:24.799 --> 00:09:28.360
<v Speaker 2>be the bat that's the micro causm a Bobby season

192
00:09:28.440 --> 00:09:31.960
<v Speaker 2>where he gets behind and counts because he can't land

193
00:09:32.000 --> 00:09:35.600
<v Speaker 2>his secondary pitches and hitters are sitting on his fastball.

194
00:09:35.720 --> 00:09:39.840
<v Speaker 2>So that was very frustrating for him and obviously to

195
00:09:39.919 --> 00:09:43.600
<v Speaker 2>watch if you're Dave Roberts, eight six, six, nine, seven two,

196
00:09:43.639 --> 00:09:46.720
<v Speaker 2>five seventy is the phone number Dodgers fall to the

197
00:09:46.759 --> 00:09:49.879
<v Speaker 2>Cardinals tonight, five to two. The Dodgers took the lead

198
00:09:49.919 --> 00:09:53.440
<v Speaker 2>in the first inning on textbook baseball, get him on,

199
00:09:53.759 --> 00:09:57.320
<v Speaker 2>get him over, get him in. Show Hao Tany led

200
00:09:57.360 --> 00:10:00.679
<v Speaker 2>off the first inning by getting on base with a walk,

201
00:10:00.799 --> 00:10:03.720
<v Speaker 2>stole second, got to third base on a fly ball

202
00:10:03.759 --> 00:10:06.600
<v Speaker 2>from Mookie Betts to left field, and with the infield

203
00:10:06.679 --> 00:10:10.200
<v Speaker 2>drawn in, Freddie Freeman hit a ground ball through.

204
00:10:10.039 --> 00:10:11.399
<v Speaker 3>The right side of the infield.

205
00:10:11.759 --> 00:10:15.120
<v Speaker 2>That was beautiful, and you thought with the Dodger scoring first,

206
00:10:15.279 --> 00:10:17.240
<v Speaker 2>that was a good sign they were going to win

207
00:10:17.279 --> 00:10:20.759
<v Speaker 2>the game because they were fifty two and thirteen coming

208
00:10:20.799 --> 00:10:24.440
<v Speaker 2>into today. When they scored first, that obviously was not

209
00:10:24.559 --> 00:10:27.080
<v Speaker 2>meant to be. The Cardinals got the momentum back when

210
00:10:27.120 --> 00:10:29.200
<v Speaker 2>they scored a run in the bottom half of the

211
00:10:29.240 --> 00:10:32.480
<v Speaker 2>first inning off of Bobby Miller. Eight six six ninety

212
00:10:32.480 --> 00:10:35.440
<v Speaker 2>seven two five seventy is the phone number. By the way,

213
00:10:35.519 --> 00:10:38.159
<v Speaker 2>Freddie Freeman left this game in the eighth inning with

214
00:10:38.200 --> 00:10:42.320
<v Speaker 2>a jammed right middle finger. That's his throwing hand fielding

215
00:10:42.360 --> 00:10:46.120
<v Speaker 2>a ground ball by Nolan Gorman. And we'll hear from

216
00:10:46.120 --> 00:10:48.519
<v Speaker 2>Freddy in just a moment to see how he's feeling

217
00:10:48.559 --> 00:10:50.720
<v Speaker 2>and whether or not it's going to keep him out

218
00:10:50.759 --> 00:10:52.799
<v Speaker 2>of the lineup for a couple of days. If it does,

219
00:10:53.279 --> 00:10:56.000
<v Speaker 2>you know, it's really hurt because Freddy is going to

220
00:10:56.039 --> 00:10:56.639
<v Speaker 2>be out there.

221
00:10:57.080 --> 00:11:00.879
<v Speaker 3>Rainers. Shine. Let's go out to Teluka Lake lead us

222
00:11:00.919 --> 00:11:02.559
<v Speaker 3>off on Dodger Talk tonight.

223
00:11:03.759 --> 00:11:06.919
<v Speaker 9>Hey DV I hope you're doing well. Good to hear

224
00:11:06.960 --> 00:11:09.879
<v Speaker 9>you back where you belong. I'm not doing the talk

225
00:11:09.919 --> 00:11:14.080
<v Speaker 9>show real quick. Something I want to unpack. I noticed

226
00:11:14.399 --> 00:11:17.159
<v Speaker 9>Gradarole on that injury that he got. I don't know

227
00:11:17.240 --> 00:11:19.559
<v Speaker 9>if you noticed or anybody brought it up. It seemed

228
00:11:19.600 --> 00:11:22.240
<v Speaker 9>like the play before where there was a ground ball

229
00:11:22.600 --> 00:11:25.919
<v Speaker 9>foul hit down the third line, where he sprinted toward

230
00:11:26.000 --> 00:11:28.559
<v Speaker 9>that thing, and then he came back and threw that

231
00:11:28.840 --> 00:11:33.279
<v Speaker 9>next pitch which he supposedly got injured. On my point

232
00:11:33.279 --> 00:11:36.039
<v Speaker 9>of telling you this, it just seems like I know

233
00:11:36.080 --> 00:11:39.559
<v Speaker 9>it's been brought up at some point. The staff, whether

234
00:11:39.600 --> 00:11:44.240
<v Speaker 9>it's the physio, the training, the medical, they need to

235
00:11:44.240 --> 00:11:46.320
<v Speaker 9>be a little more accountable, I think for all these

236
00:11:46.360 --> 00:11:47.879
<v Speaker 9>injuries that we're having, Dave.

237
00:11:47.919 --> 00:11:51.919
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I don't know where this, Dave, I don't

238
00:11:51.960 --> 00:11:54.960
<v Speaker 2>know where this narrative started, but I'm gonna nip it

239
00:11:55.000 --> 00:11:59.000
<v Speaker 2>in the bud right here. The Dodger training staff is

240
00:11:59.000 --> 00:12:03.279
<v Speaker 2>one of the best baseball those guys.

241
00:12:02.919 --> 00:12:03.120
<v Speaker 3>You know.

242
00:12:03.240 --> 00:12:05.559
<v Speaker 2>Ever since there was a somewhat of a change in

243
00:12:06.000 --> 00:12:09.360
<v Speaker 2>training staff regime three or four years ago, they have

244
00:12:09.480 --> 00:12:14.639
<v Speaker 2>been much better and very proactive. So I'm not going

245
00:12:14.720 --> 00:12:17.639
<v Speaker 2>to buy that these injuries are on the training staff.

246
00:12:17.639 --> 00:12:21.919
<v Speaker 2>I'm sorry, Tommy John Elbow's blowing out. I know it's

247
00:12:22.080 --> 00:12:24.639
<v Speaker 2>very abnormal to have these many on one team the

248
00:12:24.720 --> 00:12:27.720
<v Speaker 2>last couple of years, But that's not on the training staff.

249
00:12:27.919 --> 00:12:31.320
<v Speaker 2>That's on how these pitchers are being trained and what's

250
00:12:31.360 --> 00:12:35.200
<v Speaker 2>being emphasized in the minor leagues, not just with the Dodgers,

251
00:12:35.200 --> 00:12:36.360
<v Speaker 2>but across baseball.

252
00:12:36.679 --> 00:12:38.320
<v Speaker 3>So that's not on the training staff.

253
00:12:39.039 --> 00:12:42.960
<v Speaker 9>Well, the expectation is, you know, these guys are coming

254
00:12:43.000 --> 00:12:46.120
<v Speaker 9>in and they're throwing you know, these huge bullpen sessions

255
00:12:46.120 --> 00:12:50.039
<v Speaker 9>at triple digit numbers, and it's like, at some point

256
00:12:50.200 --> 00:12:52.399
<v Speaker 9>something's got to change. I'm not just saying for the Dodgers,

257
00:12:52.639 --> 00:12:56.360
<v Speaker 9>but in general. These guys like taking a sports car

258
00:12:56.440 --> 00:12:58.360
<v Speaker 9>and driving on the track and then using it as

259
00:12:58.399 --> 00:12:59.320
<v Speaker 9>your everyday driver.

260
00:12:59.639 --> 00:13:01.879
<v Speaker 2>It's just, well, are you gonna blame the training staff

261
00:13:01.879 --> 00:13:05.600
<v Speaker 2>for what Bobby Miller just admitted he was doing chasing velocity.

262
00:13:05.879 --> 00:13:08.159
<v Speaker 2>He's got to get away from that and be more

263
00:13:08.240 --> 00:13:11.679
<v Speaker 2>like Gavin Stone, who's a pitcher who's not chasing velocity

264
00:13:12.600 --> 00:13:13.440
<v Speaker 2>one hundred percent.

265
00:13:13.559 --> 00:13:15.960
<v Speaker 9>You look at these guys like you know Greg Maddox.

266
00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:18.399
<v Speaker 9>I know there's only one Greg Maddox, but he pitched

267
00:13:18.399 --> 00:13:21.279
<v Speaker 9>for how many years? And he was crafty and you

268
00:13:21.320 --> 00:13:23.679
<v Speaker 9>know the guy as far as Kershaw right.

269
00:13:23.519 --> 00:13:27.279
<v Speaker 2>Now, Kershaw's throwing eighty eight ninety miles an hour and

270
00:13:27.320 --> 00:13:30.320
<v Speaker 2>getting more outs than Bobby Miller throwing ninety eight tonight.

271
00:13:31.279 --> 00:13:33.039
<v Speaker 9>Right, Well, we need to you know, we need to

272
00:13:33.080 --> 00:13:36.480
<v Speaker 9>focus on that then. I mean again, not necessarily on

273
00:13:36.519 --> 00:13:39.840
<v Speaker 9>the training staff, just the approach from the entire organization.

274
00:13:40.039 --> 00:13:42.320
<v Speaker 2>Like the approach is got to start at the high

275
00:13:42.360 --> 00:13:45.960
<v Speaker 2>school level too, Dave, go to, uh, anywhere in your

276
00:13:46.080 --> 00:13:48.879
<v Speaker 2>local neighborhood there, go to our high school and ask

277
00:13:48.919 --> 00:13:53.120
<v Speaker 2>the baseball coach what they're emphasizing and how they're training

278
00:13:53.120 --> 00:13:54.080
<v Speaker 2>their pitchers.

279
00:13:54.919 --> 00:13:56.919
<v Speaker 3>Seriously, do a deep dive on that.

280
00:13:57.960 --> 00:14:00.679
<v Speaker 9>Well one let one let okay.

281
00:14:00.240 --> 00:14:02.720
<v Speaker 3>Report back on out of the grassroots.

282
00:14:03.840 --> 00:14:06.240
<v Speaker 9>One last thing, Dave, real quick, which I think is

283
00:14:06.279 --> 00:14:09.799
<v Speaker 9>relevant from what I understand now, some of the minor leagues,

284
00:14:10.039 --> 00:14:13.480
<v Speaker 9>they're taking these guys who historically weren't pictures but they

285
00:14:13.519 --> 00:14:17.159
<v Speaker 9>could throw, you know, the upper nineties or whatever, and

286
00:14:17.200 --> 00:14:20.240
<v Speaker 9>they're turning them into pictures because they're not coming into

287
00:14:20.240 --> 00:14:23.159
<v Speaker 9>the you know, the professional ranks with that kind of

288
00:14:23.200 --> 00:14:24.879
<v Speaker 9>mileage on the r Dave, that's.

289
00:14:24.720 --> 00:14:29.000
<v Speaker 2>Been happening for years, Dave, Dave, that's been happening for years.

290
00:14:29.120 --> 00:14:32.960
<v Speaker 2>Ken Lee Jansen was a catcher and they converted him

291
00:14:33.080 --> 00:14:34.799
<v Speaker 2>to a pitcher because he couldn't hit.

292
00:14:35.360 --> 00:14:37.000
<v Speaker 3>That's been happening for years.

293
00:14:37.600 --> 00:14:41.399
<v Speaker 10>Okay, well, hope hopefully we'll get better at the right time.

294
00:14:41.720 --> 00:14:45.480
<v Speaker 10>I feel the fact that this division is close, We've

295
00:14:45.480 --> 00:14:48.399
<v Speaker 10>got a renewed focus and we're not taking anything for granted,

296
00:14:48.879 --> 00:14:51.519
<v Speaker 10>and I have a high expectation we're going to do

297
00:14:51.559 --> 00:14:55.039
<v Speaker 10>well this year in the playoffs, assuming everybody's healthy, and

298
00:14:55.080 --> 00:14:55.679
<v Speaker 10>I'm hopeful.

299
00:14:55.879 --> 00:14:56.799
<v Speaker 9>That's all he could say.

300
00:14:57.120 --> 00:14:59.279
<v Speaker 2>Thanks Dave, all right, Dave, thanks a lot for the

301
00:14:59.279 --> 00:15:02.840
<v Speaker 2>phone callppreciate it. Eight sixty six nine eight seven two

302
00:15:03.000 --> 00:15:06.399
<v Speaker 2>five seventy is the phone number. The Dodgers fault tonight

303
00:15:06.440 --> 00:15:09.679
<v Speaker 2>to the Cardinals. The Padres are winning, They're likely going

304
00:15:09.720 --> 00:15:12.679
<v Speaker 2>to be just two games back by the time this

305
00:15:12.759 --> 00:15:16.720
<v Speaker 2>show is over, and the Arizona Diamondbacks lost to the race,

306
00:15:17.080 --> 00:15:19.759
<v Speaker 2>so they remain three games back. Let's go out to

307
00:15:19.799 --> 00:15:23.519
<v Speaker 2>Woodland Hills. John, You're on Dodger Talk with David Vassey.

308
00:15:23.600 --> 00:15:26.240
<v Speaker 3>Hi, John, yeah, I know it's you.

309
00:15:26.279 --> 00:15:28.799
<v Speaker 8>Know, it's only August twentieth, but I think there's definitely

310
00:15:28.919 --> 00:15:30.799
<v Speaker 8>cause for concern for the Dodgers.

311
00:15:30.840 --> 00:15:34.120
<v Speaker 3>The reason being only August twentieth. It's getting late early.

312
00:15:34.200 --> 00:15:36.679
<v Speaker 3>As the Great Yogi bearra would say, John.

313
00:15:37.159 --> 00:15:39.399
<v Speaker 8>I'm made to that, David. I have to tell you.

314
00:15:40.120 --> 00:15:43.120
<v Speaker 8>Anybody that's calling the show and saying that the Dodgers

315
00:15:43.200 --> 00:15:45.440
<v Speaker 8>will make the playoffs but they may not make a run,

316
00:15:45.919 --> 00:15:49.159
<v Speaker 8>they don't understand the game of baseball. They don't understand.

317
00:15:49.440 --> 00:15:52.720
<v Speaker 8>I mean, right now, the Padres and the Diamondbacks are

318
00:15:52.840 --> 00:15:57.000
<v Speaker 8>breathing down their necks and there's no fight in these Dodgers.

319
00:15:57.039 --> 00:16:01.960
<v Speaker 8>These Dodgers don't have that person in the clubhouse that

320
00:16:02.080 --> 00:16:05.159
<v Speaker 8>will fire them up. You know, I'm thinking of you know,

321
00:16:05.320 --> 00:16:09.159
<v Speaker 8>I'm thinking about guys from the past that literally would

322
00:16:09.279 --> 00:16:11.759
<v Speaker 8>give that energy that they need. They don't have that

323
00:16:11.879 --> 00:16:16.159
<v Speaker 8>right now. And Bobby Miller an over five r Bobby

324
00:16:16.159 --> 00:16:18.840
<v Speaker 8>Miller had an over five e r A in triple A.

325
00:16:19.440 --> 00:16:21.799
<v Speaker 8>There's no way he was going to be successful today

326
00:16:21.840 --> 00:16:24.919
<v Speaker 8>in Saint Louis. Zero chance that he was going to

327
00:16:24.919 --> 00:16:27.279
<v Speaker 8>have a good outing. When he can't get guys out

328
00:16:27.320 --> 00:16:31.679
<v Speaker 8>in triple A they've got huge issues. Both the holes

329
00:16:31.720 --> 00:16:34.600
<v Speaker 8>are are rampant in terms of in terms of the

330
00:16:34.600 --> 00:16:39.440
<v Speaker 8>Dodger lineup. Uh, I'm sorry, but our amazing catcher.

331
00:16:39.559 --> 00:16:43.080
<v Speaker 2>I actually feel like the Dodger lineup, the holes are

332
00:16:43.120 --> 00:16:45.919
<v Speaker 2>going to be filled here coming up when the Dodgers

333
00:16:45.960 --> 00:16:46.639
<v Speaker 2>return home.

334
00:16:46.759 --> 00:16:49.440
<v Speaker 3>John, Well, you might.

335
00:16:49.320 --> 00:16:51.399
<v Speaker 8>Be right, but I think Barnes has to get a

336
00:16:51.399 --> 00:16:55.279
<v Speaker 8>little bit more opportunity in the lineup because he manages

337
00:16:55.360 --> 00:16:59.879
<v Speaker 8>the pitching staff so much better as good as as

338
00:17:00.039 --> 00:17:00.399
<v Speaker 8>good at it.

339
00:17:00.399 --> 00:17:04.119
<v Speaker 2>Hey, I'm with you on that, John, will Smith is

340
00:17:04.119 --> 00:17:07.960
<v Speaker 2>is the everyday catcher because of his bat, not because

341
00:17:08.119 --> 00:17:12.240
<v Speaker 2>of his defensive prowess. If he's not hitting, Austin Barnes

342
00:17:12.240 --> 00:17:14.079
<v Speaker 2>should be catching more than once a week.

343
00:17:15.559 --> 00:17:17.720
<v Speaker 8>I agree. I mean there was some plays today that

344
00:17:17.960 --> 00:17:20.200
<v Speaker 8>cost the Dodgers runs and it was all based on

345
00:17:21.279 --> 00:17:24.720
<v Speaker 8>Will's you know, play behind the plate. And if he's

346
00:17:24.759 --> 00:17:28.000
<v Speaker 8>not hitting home runs, if he's not hitting doubles, then

347
00:17:29.000 --> 00:17:31.519
<v Speaker 8>I mean Barnes has been hot for a while. I mean,

348
00:17:32.279 --> 00:17:33.880
<v Speaker 8>there's no reason he plays.

349
00:17:33.640 --> 00:17:36.480
<v Speaker 3>Once a week. He plays once a week. Think about that.

350
00:17:36.640 --> 00:17:38.000
<v Speaker 3>Think how hard it is to hit?

351
00:17:38.039 --> 00:17:40.359
<v Speaker 2>We keep hearing all these hitters say it's so hard

352
00:17:40.400 --> 00:17:42.880
<v Speaker 2>to hit so hard to hit, How much harder is

353
00:17:42.920 --> 00:17:45.680
<v Speaker 2>it to hit major league pitching when you're only playing

354
00:17:45.720 --> 00:17:48.720
<v Speaker 2>once a week. So look, I'm not saying that Will

355
00:17:48.759 --> 00:17:52.119
<v Speaker 2>Smith is not a really good catcher and hitting catcher

356
00:17:52.519 --> 00:17:55.880
<v Speaker 2>and doesn't deserve to play the majority of the games.

357
00:17:55.920 --> 00:17:59.720
<v Speaker 2>But look, there is something wrong. He's not hitting the

358
00:17:59.720 --> 00:18:03.240
<v Speaker 2>base spelled the way he used to for whatever reason

359
00:18:03.319 --> 00:18:05.960
<v Speaker 2>this year. So if he's not hitting and he's hitting

360
00:18:06.000 --> 00:18:09.559
<v Speaker 2>sixth in the lineup, then maybe the Dodgers need to

361
00:18:09.599 --> 00:18:13.039
<v Speaker 2>consider giving him more rest, giving him more days off.

362
00:18:13.480 --> 00:18:15.519
<v Speaker 2>All right, John, thank you for the phone call.

363
00:18:15.559 --> 00:18:16.279
<v Speaker 3>Appreciate it.

364
00:18:16.759 --> 00:18:20.559
<v Speaker 2>And by the way, tonight Bobby Miller had four wild pitches.

365
00:18:20.759 --> 00:18:23.119
<v Speaker 2>I would contend two of them were on Will Smith,

366
00:18:23.240 --> 00:18:26.920
<v Speaker 2>but nonetheless they go down as wild pitches. That is

367
00:18:27.039 --> 00:18:30.920
<v Speaker 2>most by a Dodger pitcher in a game since Fred

368
00:18:31.200 --> 00:18:35.519
<v Speaker 2>Norman in August of nineteen seventy against the Cubs at

369
00:18:35.519 --> 00:18:38.960
<v Speaker 2>Wrigley Field. Eight six six nine eight seven two five

370
00:18:39.119 --> 00:18:43.839
<v Speaker 2>seventy is the phone number. Dodgers fall to the Cardinals tonight,

371
00:18:43.960 --> 00:18:47.039
<v Speaker 2>five to two. And speaking of some of the quote

372
00:18:47.200 --> 00:18:51.079
<v Speaker 2>holes in the Dodger lineup, they are going to be filled.

373
00:18:51.079 --> 00:18:53.880
<v Speaker 2>And I feel like the bottom of the Dodger order

374
00:18:54.319 --> 00:18:57.119
<v Speaker 2>has already been better than what we saw the majority

375
00:18:57.160 --> 00:19:00.359
<v Speaker 2>of the season because Kevin Kiermeier has It's been a

376
00:19:00.359 --> 00:19:03.839
<v Speaker 2>breath of fresh air, not only defensively in center field,

377
00:19:04.200 --> 00:19:07.559
<v Speaker 2>but also offensively. And I know tonight he hit into

378
00:19:07.640 --> 00:19:10.799
<v Speaker 2>a double play, but last night, the Dodgers don't win

379
00:19:10.839 --> 00:19:15.480
<v Speaker 2>without Kevin Kiermeyer's for RBI. So for the most part,

380
00:19:15.519 --> 00:19:20.240
<v Speaker 2>he's been very good offensively, exceeding my expectations for what

381
00:19:20.400 --> 00:19:23.000
<v Speaker 2>he might be able to do with the Dodgers, and

382
00:19:23.359 --> 00:19:26.200
<v Speaker 2>so far, I'll give you the exact numbers with the

383
00:19:26.240 --> 00:19:30.279
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers in twelve games, kier Myers hitting two fifty nine

384
00:19:30.759 --> 00:19:34.640
<v Speaker 2>with an ops of seven seventeen. So that's better than

385
00:19:34.680 --> 00:19:39.559
<v Speaker 2>I thought, especially him understanding what his role is at

386
00:19:39.599 --> 00:19:42.000
<v Speaker 2>the bottom of the order, to get on base, to

387
00:19:42.079 --> 00:19:45.279
<v Speaker 2>move the runner over. Those are things that don't show

388
00:19:45.400 --> 00:19:49.000
<v Speaker 2>up in the box score. And on Monday, the Dodgers

389
00:19:49.039 --> 00:19:52.920
<v Speaker 2>are going to activate Tommy Edmund. Tommy Edmund is going

390
00:19:52.960 --> 00:19:56.519
<v Speaker 2>to play primarily center field, and when they want to

391
00:19:56.559 --> 00:19:59.720
<v Speaker 2>give Miguel Rojas days off, I'm sure you're going to

392
00:19:59.759 --> 00:20:04.240
<v Speaker 2>see Edmund at shortstop, meaning Kevin Kiermaier and Tommy Edmund

393
00:20:05.000 --> 00:20:09.599
<v Speaker 2>will be at shortstop and center field, respectively, And the

394
00:20:09.680 --> 00:20:13.839
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers have very interesting decisions to make roster wise, with

395
00:20:14.079 --> 00:20:17.759
<v Speaker 2>Edmund being activated on Monday and Max Munsey going to

396
00:20:17.799 --> 00:20:21.000
<v Speaker 2>be activated on Tuesday. And the way I'm looking at

397
00:20:21.039 --> 00:20:24.000
<v Speaker 2>it is Nick Ahmed is going to be designated for

398
00:20:24.079 --> 00:20:29.039
<v Speaker 2>assignment and Andy Pajez probably is going to be optioned

399
00:20:29.039 --> 00:20:31.960
<v Speaker 2>down to the minor leagues, because I don't see the

400
00:20:32.000 --> 00:20:35.079
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers just cutting loose Jason Hayward. He's not had a

401
00:20:35.079 --> 00:20:37.799
<v Speaker 2>great year, but the Dodgers have had a lot of

402
00:20:37.839 --> 00:20:42.799
<v Speaker 2>respect for that veteran, so at least for now, that's

403
00:20:42.839 --> 00:20:45.759
<v Speaker 2>the way I see it going with those first two moves.

404
00:20:46.279 --> 00:20:50.400
<v Speaker 2>The other question is, with Keik Hernandez hitting three hundred

405
00:20:50.480 --> 00:20:53.240
<v Speaker 2>in the month of August and playing the defense that

406
00:20:53.319 --> 00:20:57.720
<v Speaker 2>he's playing at third base, does Max Munsey automatically get

407
00:20:57.720 --> 00:21:01.880
<v Speaker 2>his position back, or since Monthsey was only hitting one

408
00:21:01.960 --> 00:21:05.200
<v Speaker 2>sixty three against lefties, do we now have a platoon

409
00:21:05.279 --> 00:21:08.880
<v Speaker 2>at third base. I don't believe it's a foregone conclusion.

410
00:21:08.960 --> 00:21:13.039
<v Speaker 2>Max Munsey gets his third base job every day back,

411
00:21:13.200 --> 00:21:17.160
<v Speaker 2>at least in the immediate future. Your thoughts eight sixty

412
00:21:17.200 --> 00:21:19.359
<v Speaker 2>six nine eighty seven two five seventy.

413
00:21:19.599 --> 00:21:22.480
<v Speaker 3>Let's go out to Ken in Newport Beach. You're on

414
00:21:22.599 --> 00:21:23.200
<v Speaker 3>Dodger Talk.

415
00:21:23.279 --> 00:21:26.559
<v Speaker 7>Hi, Ken, hey man. First off, I want to tell you,

416
00:21:26.759 --> 00:21:31.640
<v Speaker 7>I think you're doing an excellent job being live and

417
00:21:31.680 --> 00:21:34.720
<v Speaker 7>doing what you know, what's what's her name used to do?

418
00:21:35.920 --> 00:21:38.839
<v Speaker 7>I'm really impressed. I think you're really doing a great job.

419
00:21:39.519 --> 00:21:41.960
<v Speaker 2>Oh you're talking about you know sometimes I feel like

420
00:21:42.079 --> 00:21:45.000
<v Speaker 2>Chris Farley, fat guy in a little coat on TV.

421
00:21:45.160 --> 00:21:47.359
<v Speaker 3>Ken, But I like to talk baseball.

422
00:21:48.359 --> 00:21:51.200
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, No, you're doing this super job. Smith.

423
00:21:51.559 --> 00:21:52.720
<v Speaker 8>There's something wrong here.

424
00:21:52.960 --> 00:21:55.640
<v Speaker 7>It's one thing. In July and August he's barely hitting

425
00:21:55.680 --> 00:21:58.640
<v Speaker 7>over two hundred. But all the time I've watched him,

426
00:21:58.680 --> 00:22:02.359
<v Speaker 7>I've never seen him. I don't want to say bobble,

427
00:22:02.440 --> 00:22:06.119
<v Speaker 7>but he normally picks up those those bad pitches. That's

428
00:22:06.279 --> 00:22:08.680
<v Speaker 7>four and two of them. He should have caught it,

429
00:22:08.799 --> 00:22:11.039
<v Speaker 7>Like you said, I don't know if he needs to

430
00:22:11.079 --> 00:22:14.960
<v Speaker 7>see if i'mtometrous, there's something wrong health wise, But this.

431
00:22:14.759 --> 00:22:17.559
<v Speaker 2>Is I think tonight, Ken, Ken, I think tonight he

432
00:22:17.680 --> 00:22:21.319
<v Speaker 2>looked very sluggish behind the plate, and at the plate

433
00:22:21.480 --> 00:22:24.240
<v Speaker 2>he looked very sluggish.

434
00:22:24.319 --> 00:22:26.720
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, I don't know, man, That hitting is one thing.

435
00:22:26.759 --> 00:22:31.759
<v Speaker 7>He's barely over two hundred, but four balls I've never

436
00:22:31.799 --> 00:22:34.519
<v Speaker 7>seen that happen to him because he's a great catcher.

437
00:22:34.599 --> 00:22:37.079
<v Speaker 7>So they need to have somebody take away at him.

438
00:22:37.079 --> 00:22:40.240
<v Speaker 2>And I wouldn't say he's a great catcher, ken. I

439
00:22:40.240 --> 00:22:43.079
<v Speaker 2>think that that's a little I would not call him

440
00:22:43.079 --> 00:22:44.319
<v Speaker 2>a great catcher.

441
00:22:45.279 --> 00:22:46.519
<v Speaker 8>He's been a good catcher.

442
00:22:47.880 --> 00:22:52.160
<v Speaker 2>That's different than great. Johnny Bench was great.

443
00:22:53.920 --> 00:22:58.400
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, I'm just looking at what happened today defensively and

444
00:22:58.480 --> 00:23:01.279
<v Speaker 7>putting it with the last two months offensively, and I'm

445
00:23:01.279 --> 00:23:04.599
<v Speaker 7>saying they need to have somebody look at them. Something's wrong.

446
00:23:04.720 --> 00:23:07.200
<v Speaker 7>This is the you know, you don't have a slump

447
00:23:07.240 --> 00:23:09.880
<v Speaker 7>for two months and you don't let four balls get

448
00:23:09.920 --> 00:23:11.880
<v Speaker 7>past you in an important game.

449
00:23:12.000 --> 00:23:15.880
<v Speaker 2>So I agree, And that's why I feel like if

450
00:23:15.920 --> 00:23:18.319
<v Speaker 2>you want to get Will Smith back, give him more

451
00:23:18.359 --> 00:23:21.559
<v Speaker 2>time to work on his hitting, because when he's catching,

452
00:23:22.039 --> 00:23:25.920
<v Speaker 2>he cannot focus on fixing whatever. And also give him

453
00:23:25.960 --> 00:23:29.839
<v Speaker 2>some days off play Austin Barnes more. I mean Austin

454
00:23:29.920 --> 00:23:34.440
<v Speaker 2>Barnes in twenty seventeen, twenty eighteen, twenty twenty caught the

455
00:23:34.480 --> 00:23:38.039
<v Speaker 2>majority of those playoff games because the lights were too

456
00:23:38.079 --> 00:23:40.920
<v Speaker 2>bright for he has MONI Grandal, and he was better

457
00:23:40.960 --> 00:23:44.079
<v Speaker 2>defensively than Will Smith, and Will was the DH.

458
00:23:44.240 --> 00:23:47.319
<v Speaker 3>So why not play Austin Barnes a little bit more?

459
00:23:47.519 --> 00:23:50.799
<v Speaker 2>Especially now that you're getting Munthsie back, You're gonna get

460
00:23:50.839 --> 00:23:55.920
<v Speaker 2>Tommy Edmond, so you can afford to compensate at least

461
00:23:55.920 --> 00:23:59.240
<v Speaker 2>twice a week for your offense, and you're not really

462
00:23:59.240 --> 00:24:03.039
<v Speaker 2>compensating that that much considering Smith's not hitting. To get

463
00:24:03.079 --> 00:24:05.640
<v Speaker 2>better defense behind the plate, I.

464
00:24:05.519 --> 00:24:09.119
<v Speaker 7>Agree that's you know, the two most important, in my opinion,

465
00:24:09.200 --> 00:24:12.759
<v Speaker 7>positions on the field are center field and catcher, and

466
00:24:12.799 --> 00:24:14.960
<v Speaker 7>you've got to have great defense in those two or

467
00:24:15.000 --> 00:24:16.880
<v Speaker 7>you're gonna have problems always.

468
00:24:17.680 --> 00:24:19.960
<v Speaker 2>All right, Ken, thanks for the phone call. Eight six

469
00:24:20.119 --> 00:24:23.240
<v Speaker 2>six nine seven two five seventy. We have three lines

470
00:24:23.279 --> 00:24:25.880
<v Speaker 2>open as we are taking you to the bottom of

471
00:24:25.920 --> 00:24:29.359
<v Speaker 2>the hour live from Bush Stadium in Saint Louis. After

472
00:24:29.400 --> 00:24:33.240
<v Speaker 2>the Cardinals beat the Dodgers five to two. Look the

473
00:24:33.279 --> 00:24:36.359
<v Speaker 2>Dodger lineup. It's got to figure out a way to

474
00:24:36.400 --> 00:24:40.079
<v Speaker 2>score more than two runs on four hits. But everybody

475
00:24:40.160 --> 00:24:44.200
<v Speaker 2>keeps talking about these holes Offensively. The Dodgers, I believe,

476
00:24:44.240 --> 00:24:47.720
<v Speaker 2>are going to be fine, especially when Tommy Edman comes back.

477
00:24:47.920 --> 00:24:50.359
<v Speaker 2>Max Muntsey's going to be in the fold all of

478
00:24:50.359 --> 00:24:53.680
<v Speaker 2>a sudden, Now one through nine, Where are you going

479
00:24:53.720 --> 00:24:57.799
<v Speaker 2>to exhale if you're an opposing pitcher, especially if Will

480
00:24:57.880 --> 00:25:01.000
<v Speaker 2>Smith gets things going here. One through nine, all of

481
00:25:01.000 --> 00:25:04.200
<v Speaker 2>a sudden, when the Dodgers are healthy beginning next week,

482
00:25:04.680 --> 00:25:06.119
<v Speaker 2>is going to be really.

483
00:25:05.799 --> 00:25:07.359
<v Speaker 3>Tough for the opposing pitcher.

484
00:25:08.079 --> 00:25:11.359
<v Speaker 2>That I would contend one through nine with Tommy Edmund,

485
00:25:11.440 --> 00:25:15.720
<v Speaker 2>Max Munsey or Keike Hernandez, along with everybody else that's

486
00:25:15.759 --> 00:25:18.480
<v Speaker 2>in the lineup right now, and tonight the Dodgers sat

487
00:25:18.519 --> 00:25:21.400
<v Speaker 2>ti Oscar Hernandez, who has not had a great road

488
00:25:21.400 --> 00:25:24.160
<v Speaker 2>trip all of a sudden, now, I would contend one

489
00:25:24.200 --> 00:25:28.079
<v Speaker 2>through nine. The Dodgers have the best lineup in baseball

490
00:25:28.559 --> 00:25:31.440
<v Speaker 2>eight six, six, nine, eight seven, two five seventy. When

491
00:25:31.480 --> 00:25:35.200
<v Speaker 2>we continue live from Bush Stadium, more of your phone calls,

492
00:25:35.240 --> 00:25:38.200
<v Speaker 2>and also we'll hear from Freddie Freeman to give us

493
00:25:38.200 --> 00:25:41.519
<v Speaker 2>an update on his jam middle finger in the eighth inning.

494
00:25:41.759 --> 00:25:46.440
<v Speaker 2>And also Tyler Glassnow, who was supposed to start tonight,

495
00:25:46.839 --> 00:25:50.079
<v Speaker 2>but yesterday the Dodgers decided, you know what, glass Now

496
00:25:50.160 --> 00:25:51.759
<v Speaker 2>is talking about his elbow.

497
00:25:51.680 --> 00:25:54.079
<v Speaker 3>We need him down the stretch il for you.

498
00:25:54.559 --> 00:25:57.039
<v Speaker 2>We'll get Tyler's out of the story when we continue

499
00:25:57.319 --> 00:26:00.559
<v Speaker 2>live from Bush Stadium in Saint Louis after the Cardinals

512
00:26:50.960 --> 00:26:55.000
<v Speaker 2>Dodger runs, that one, driving himself in with his thirty

513

<v Speaker 2>eighth home run of the year in the fifth inning.

514
00:26:57.680 --> 00:27:00.640

<v Speaker 2>Eight six, six, nine, eighty seven, two five seventy is

524
00:27:32.839 --> 00:27:36.200
<v Speaker 2>the phone number otani Homwerk for the Dodgers tonight. But

525
00:27:36.279 --> 00:27:40.039
<v Speaker 2>the Cardinals got three home runs, one from Alec Burlison,

526
00:27:40.079 --> 00:27:43.240
<v Speaker 2>a two run shot, and solo shots from Mason Winn

527
00:27:43.559 --> 00:27:47.039
<v Speaker 2>and Nolan Arenato. By the way, Mason Wynn might be

528
00:27:47.200 --> 00:27:50.400
<v Speaker 2>my favorite player not wearing a Dodger uniform to watch

529
00:27:50.640 --> 00:27:53.240
<v Speaker 2>play the game of baseball. I love the way he

530
00:27:53.279 --> 00:27:57.319
<v Speaker 2>plays shortstop. I love the electricity he brings to the bases.

531
00:27:57.519 --> 00:27:59.920
<v Speaker 2>And he's got some pop too, as we saw tonight.

532
00:28:00.400 --> 00:28:03.400
<v Speaker 2>So remember that name, Mason Winn, and if you're a

533
00:28:03.440 --> 00:28:06.119
<v Speaker 2>baseball card fan, go find his rookie card. Might be

534
00:28:06.160 --> 00:28:09.279
<v Speaker 2>worse something down the road, but Mason win that's the

535
00:28:09.400 --> 00:28:11.640
<v Speaker 2>name I feel is going to be in the thorn

536
00:28:12.039 --> 00:28:15.440
<v Speaker 2>of the Dodgers side for years to come. Speaking of that,

537
00:28:15.599 --> 00:28:19.799
<v Speaker 2>Nolan Aernato's home run was his twenty third home run

538
00:28:20.000 --> 00:28:23.400
<v Speaker 2>against the Dodgers. How about that, No excuse me, his

539
00:28:23.519 --> 00:28:26.799
<v Speaker 2>thirty second home run against the Dodgers and his ninety

540
00:28:26.880 --> 00:28:30.240
<v Speaker 2>ninth run against the Dodgers in one hundred and fifty

541
00:28:30.279 --> 00:28:34.440
<v Speaker 2>three games played against them. Here's another interesting note on

542
00:28:34.720 --> 00:28:38.720
<v Speaker 2>Aeronado's home run. It was only his thirteenth of the season,

543
00:28:39.119 --> 00:28:42.039
<v Speaker 2>and him and Paul Goldschmid have not had great years.

544
00:28:42.039 --> 00:28:46.119
<v Speaker 2>That's part of the reason why the Cardinals are basically

545
00:28:46.160 --> 00:28:48.160
<v Speaker 2>on the brink of playoff elimination.

546
00:28:48.359 --> 00:28:48.599
<v Speaker 9>Here.

547
00:28:49.000 --> 00:28:52.440
<v Speaker 2>They have combined to hit thirty two home runs. Otani

548
00:28:52.519 --> 00:28:56.319
<v Speaker 2>hit his thirty eighth alone tonight, So those two guys,

549
00:28:56.359 --> 00:28:59.960
<v Speaker 2>Goldschmid and Aeronato combined have not hit as many home

550
00:29:00.119 --> 00:29:04.599
<v Speaker 2>runs as show hey Otani eight six, six, nine, seven, two,

551
00:29:04.680 --> 00:29:08.240
<v Speaker 2>five seventy is the phone number. Also, the Dodgers not

552
00:29:08.279 --> 00:29:11.279
<v Speaker 2>only lost the game, but they lost their first baseman,

553
00:29:11.400 --> 00:29:16.039
<v Speaker 2>Freddie Freeman, who played his two thousandth career game last night.

554
00:29:16.559 --> 00:29:18.880
<v Speaker 2>He had to come out of this game because of

555
00:29:18.920 --> 00:29:22.960
<v Speaker 2>a jammed right middle finger, that's his throwing hand. He

556
00:29:23.079 --> 00:29:26.680
<v Speaker 2>jammed it fielding a ground ball by Nolan Gorman in

557
00:29:26.799 --> 00:29:30.119
<v Speaker 2>the sixth inning, and we noticed that Freddy was not

558
00:29:30.200 --> 00:29:32.880
<v Speaker 2>on deck in the bottom of the eighth inning. It

559
00:29:32.920 --> 00:29:35.920
<v Speaker 2>never got to his spot, but we did notice obviously

560
00:29:36.039 --> 00:29:38.839
<v Speaker 2>that he did not come out to play defense. Keyy

561
00:29:38.839 --> 00:29:42.799
<v Speaker 2>Hernandez finished the final inning at first base, with Miguel

562
00:29:42.880 --> 00:29:46.440
<v Speaker 2>Rojas sliding over to third and Nick Ahmed at shortstop.

563
00:29:46.640 --> 00:29:51.359
<v Speaker 2>So everybody wants to know how serious is this jammed

564
00:29:51.559 --> 00:29:54.920
<v Speaker 2>right middle finger? Here is Freddy Freeman moments ago.

565
00:29:55.799 --> 00:29:59.200
<v Speaker 11>Yes, the bad hop to the right right, he went

566
00:29:59.279 --> 00:30:01.079
<v Speaker 11>back with ball, but you can see kind of pull

567
00:30:01.200 --> 00:30:02.079
<v Speaker 11>up the tip of my finger.

568
00:30:02.279 --> 00:30:04.960
<v Speaker 8>So well, the ball hit your fing in the ground.

569
00:30:04.920 --> 00:30:06.799
<v Speaker 11>The moon hit my finger.

570
00:30:08.440 --> 00:30:12.119
<v Speaker 6>The X rays, it's crazy negative be allowed X rays.

571
00:30:13.000 --> 00:30:16.400
<v Speaker 11>I'm a little nervous and the finger blew up like that.

572
00:30:16.799 --> 00:30:19.240
<v Speaker 6>You think I'll do any more further test tomorrow, I

573
00:30:19.279 --> 00:30:19.720
<v Speaker 6>don't think.

574
00:30:19.759 --> 00:30:21.559
<v Speaker 11>So we're going to go with day to day and

575
00:30:22.039 --> 00:30:24.319
<v Speaker 11>you know I've already iced it, so we're gonna see

576
00:30:24.319 --> 00:30:24.720
<v Speaker 11>how it is.

577
00:30:24.960 --> 00:30:25.640
<v Speaker 4>Don't really have.

578
00:30:25.559 --> 00:30:27.880
<v Speaker 11>Any X rays or negative and we'll see how it is.

579
00:30:28.119 --> 00:30:30.359
<v Speaker 6>Just well, like the swelling increase over the course of

580
00:30:30.359 --> 00:30:30.640
<v Speaker 6>the game.

581
00:30:30.720 --> 00:30:32.799
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, I mean it just started getting bigger, bigger, And

582
00:30:32.880 --> 00:30:34.400
<v Speaker 11>as you guys know, when you jams something it just

583
00:30:34.480 --> 00:30:38.960
<v Speaker 11>kind of swells and gets tight and then I just

584
00:30:39.119 --> 00:30:42.680
<v Speaker 11>didn't even kind of hurt me throw so best to

585
00:30:42.680 --> 00:30:44.240
<v Speaker 11>get me out and gets mye on it and see

586
00:30:44.200 --> 00:30:45.200
<v Speaker 11>if yeah, we could.

587
00:30:45.079 --> 00:30:45.720
<v Speaker 3>Do the next day.

588
00:30:46.000 --> 00:30:47.400
<v Speaker 1>Did he try and grab a batter?

589
00:30:47.400 --> 00:30:50.759
<v Speaker 3>And I have not. I just I didn't think.

590
00:30:53.039 --> 00:30:56.440
<v Speaker 2>Hopefully he's back in the Dodger lineup tomorrow. If not,

591
00:30:57.039 --> 00:30:59.720
<v Speaker 2>you know it won't be too long thereafter that Freddy

592
00:30:59.799 --> 00:31:02.599
<v Speaker 2>will be back in there. He prides himself if he's

593
00:31:02.640 --> 00:31:05.880
<v Speaker 2>available on the team, in the dugout to be out there.

594
00:31:06.039 --> 00:31:10.880
<v Speaker 2>And he certainly expressed expressed that to us before yesterday's game,

595
00:31:11.480 --> 00:31:14.680
<v Speaker 2>which was a milestone game, two thousand career games. Not

596
00:31:14.799 --> 00:31:17.920
<v Speaker 2>many guys can say that. And uh, we'll see where

597
00:31:17.960 --> 00:31:20.880
<v Speaker 2>Freddy's at tomorrow morning. If it was a night game,

598
00:31:20.960 --> 00:31:23.599
<v Speaker 2>maybe we'd give the Dodgers a little more of a

599
00:31:23.720 --> 00:31:26.000
<v Speaker 2>chance to manage it to get him ready to play.

600
00:31:26.039 --> 00:31:29.000
<v Speaker 2>But a quick turnaround, I would say it's fifty to

601
00:31:29.000 --> 00:31:32.920
<v Speaker 2>fifty for Freddy to play. Eight six six ninety seven

602
00:31:33.039 --> 00:31:36.200
<v Speaker 2>two five seventy is the phone number. The Dodgers fall

603
00:31:36.240 --> 00:31:38.799
<v Speaker 2>tonight five to two to the Cardinals. How about you

604
00:31:38.920 --> 00:31:43.440
<v Speaker 2>see riversides? Andre Palante going seven innings tonight to pick

605
00:31:43.519 --> 00:31:45.119
<v Speaker 2>up his fifth win of the year.

606
00:31:45.519 --> 00:31:48.799
<v Speaker 3>I see you and eaters. I'm not gonna ignore.

607
00:31:48.480 --> 00:31:51.920
<v Speaker 2>That Bobby Miller lost the game tonight for the Dodgers,

608
00:31:51.920 --> 00:31:55.319
<v Speaker 2>a spot start for Tyler glass Now, who was scheduled

609
00:31:55.319 --> 00:32:00.000
<v Speaker 2>to start tonight. And this was somewhat weird that Tyler

610
00:32:00.160 --> 00:32:02.799
<v Speaker 2>glass Now did not start tonight and we did not

611
00:32:02.920 --> 00:32:07.200
<v Speaker 2>get an official roster move until thirty minutes before first

612
00:32:07.240 --> 00:32:08.200
<v Speaker 2>pitch yesterday.

613
00:32:08.559 --> 00:32:09.920
<v Speaker 3>We found out after the game.

614
00:32:10.000 --> 00:32:12.920
<v Speaker 2>Maybe part of the reason why was that Tyler glass

615
00:32:12.960 --> 00:32:15.680
<v Speaker 2>Now was trying to make his case that he was

616
00:32:15.720 --> 00:32:19.319
<v Speaker 2>good to go. But once you alert the training staff

617
00:32:19.359 --> 00:32:22.960
<v Speaker 2>that there is something going on with your elbow, it's

618
00:32:23.039 --> 00:32:28.079
<v Speaker 2>their responsibility to treat it cautiously. Especially with the Dodgers

619
00:32:28.119 --> 00:32:31.319
<v Speaker 2>who are looking towards the postseason. You're not going to

620
00:32:31.359 --> 00:32:35.039
<v Speaker 2>compromise Tyler glass Now for one start in Saint Louis

621
00:32:35.079 --> 00:32:38.240
<v Speaker 2>in the middle of August. So he sounded the alarm

622
00:32:38.279 --> 00:32:41.160
<v Speaker 2>bell by letting them know he was feeling a little

623
00:32:41.200 --> 00:32:44.680
<v Speaker 2>something in his right elbow after his bullpen session a

624
00:32:44.680 --> 00:32:47.920
<v Speaker 2>couple of days ago. So you can't blame the Dodgers,

625
00:32:48.000 --> 00:32:52.359
<v Speaker 2>and I understand glass Now feeling great today. Wanted to

626
00:32:52.400 --> 00:32:56.240
<v Speaker 2>pitch today, but you know, as a pitcher, once you

627
00:32:56.400 --> 00:32:59.400
<v Speaker 2>I mean, come on, put yourself in Dave Roberts shoes,

628
00:32:59.680 --> 00:33:03.119
<v Speaker 2>put you yourself in the training staff shoes. A picture

629
00:33:03.559 --> 00:33:07.279
<v Speaker 2>of Tyler Glassnow's caliber tells you, you know what, my

630
00:33:07.400 --> 00:33:08.839
<v Speaker 2>elbow's not feeling right.

631
00:33:09.799 --> 00:33:10.839
<v Speaker 3>What are you going to do?

632
00:33:11.599 --> 00:33:16.240
<v Speaker 2>You're going to obviously played extremely cautious and put him

633
00:33:16.279 --> 00:33:19.720
<v Speaker 2>on the fifteen day il and not have them start tonight.

634
00:33:20.400 --> 00:33:22.480
<v Speaker 3>But it seemed like after.

635
00:33:22.319 --> 00:33:25.400
<v Speaker 2>Glass Now said that he tried to walk it back

636
00:33:25.839 --> 00:33:29.839
<v Speaker 2>the last couple of days and yesterday afternoon, that's not

637
00:33:29.960 --> 00:33:35.640
<v Speaker 2>how it works. The Dodgers have a long track record

638
00:33:35.839 --> 00:33:39.680
<v Speaker 2>of protecting their pictures and players being extra cautious.

639
00:33:39.759 --> 00:33:41.279
<v Speaker 3>So here was Tyler.

640
00:33:41.039 --> 00:33:44.720
<v Speaker 2>Glass Now earlier today explaining his side of the chain

641
00:33:44.880 --> 00:33:45.480
<v Speaker 2>of events.

642
00:33:47.039 --> 00:33:48.880
<v Speaker 6>No, just like after a bullpen, just a little sore,

643
00:33:49.039 --> 00:33:53.759
<v Speaker 6>nothing crazy, and I just think they wanted me to

644
00:33:53.880 --> 00:33:55.680
<v Speaker 6>go on the aisle. Just give me more time, kind

645
00:33:55.680 --> 00:33:57.640
<v Speaker 6>of having postseason as the priority.

646
00:33:58.319 --> 00:34:01.359
<v Speaker 2>Dave said, yesterday, you fought to try to make today's start.

647
00:34:01.759 --> 00:34:03.519
<v Speaker 3>Did you feel well enough to start today?

648
00:34:03.920 --> 00:34:06.319
<v Speaker 6>I feel fine now, Yeah, I think I think that's

649
00:34:06.359 --> 00:34:09.440
<v Speaker 6>the most frustrating thing I think it's just I don't know.

650
00:34:09.519 --> 00:34:14.079
<v Speaker 6>I I didn't want to go on the IL, you know,

651
00:34:14.199 --> 00:34:18.000
<v Speaker 6>but I think the decision was made, and I think

652
00:34:18.039 --> 00:34:20.360
<v Speaker 6>maybe I'm not like logically thinking or something, but I

653
00:34:20.599 --> 00:34:23.000
<v Speaker 6>feel fine. I just think their main priority, like I said,

654
00:34:23.039 --> 00:34:25.159
<v Speaker 6>is postseason, so I kind of didn't have like a

655
00:34:26.559 --> 00:34:28.280
<v Speaker 6>they didn't. Yeah, I guess I'm just on the ile.

656
00:34:28.280 --> 00:34:28.400
<v Speaker 3>I know.

657
00:34:28.559 --> 00:34:31.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you've been able to process all that when you

658
00:34:31.400 --> 00:34:33.840
<v Speaker 2>kind of let them know you felt something and them

659
00:34:34.079 --> 00:34:34.960
<v Speaker 2>playing it's safe.

660
00:34:36.039 --> 00:34:36.280
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

661
00:34:36.599 --> 00:34:39.320
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I got like spoke my mind and they spoke theirs,

662
00:34:39.320 --> 00:34:41.559
<v Speaker 6>and they ultimately get the decision. And it's not like

663
00:34:41.639 --> 00:34:44.320
<v Speaker 6>you know, I mean, it's out of like trying to

664
00:34:44.840 --> 00:34:46.679
<v Speaker 6>decide the best decision for me and the team. So

665
00:34:46.719 --> 00:34:48.159
<v Speaker 6>it's not like you know what I mean, like I

666
00:34:48.159 --> 00:34:51.119
<v Speaker 6>trust all the medical staff and the coaches and front office,

667
00:34:51.119 --> 00:34:52.199
<v Speaker 6>and if that's what they want to do, that's what

668
00:34:52.199 --> 00:34:54.119
<v Speaker 6>they want to do, and I just I'm looking forward

669
00:34:54.119 --> 00:34:57.400
<v Speaker 6>to the postseason else anything similarly with this in your

670
00:34:57.440 --> 00:34:59.679
<v Speaker 6>elbow this year, on the course of the season, I

671
00:34:59.679 --> 00:35:02.719
<v Speaker 6>think like after surgery, there's just like tightness within that

672
00:35:02.719 --> 00:35:05.519
<v Speaker 6>because they kind of like double loop that ligament in

673
00:35:05.559 --> 00:35:08.280
<v Speaker 6>there and like there's for a while after there's gonna

674
00:35:08.280 --> 00:35:09.920
<v Speaker 6>be like a little bit of like space created, you

675
00:35:09.960 --> 00:35:11.519
<v Speaker 6>know what I mean. So there's gonna be some tightness,

676
00:35:11.559 --> 00:35:13.960
<v Speaker 6>and that's kind of like all it felt like. So

677
00:35:14.159 --> 00:35:15.960
<v Speaker 6>it is a similar feeling, you know what I mean,

678
00:35:16.079 --> 00:35:18.679
<v Speaker 6>just from like post top stuff. So it was nothing

679
00:35:18.719 --> 00:35:19.840
<v Speaker 6>like super concerning to me.

680
00:35:20.519 --> 00:35:23.039
<v Speaker 4>Do you feel like you've had enough stuff gone on

681
00:35:23.159 --> 00:35:25.320
<v Speaker 4>with your elbow that you have a pretty good handle

682
00:35:25.360 --> 00:35:28.639
<v Speaker 4>on whoa, what's a little more serious what's not? Yeah?

683
00:35:28.719 --> 00:35:34.320
<v Speaker 6>I think so, But I think, like, yeah, I guess,

684
00:35:34.440 --> 00:35:36.679
<v Speaker 6>I mean, I guess going in after that bullpen and

685
00:35:36.679 --> 00:35:38.400
<v Speaker 6>saying stuff, I think they just maybe were a little

686
00:35:38.440 --> 00:35:41.239
<v Speaker 6>concerned and they just they wanted to do this, and

687
00:35:41.280 --> 00:35:44.800
<v Speaker 6>I think just previous years past, like kind of getting injured.

688
00:35:44.800 --> 00:35:46.920
<v Speaker 6>I'm sure that was taken into account. And whether I

689
00:35:46.920 --> 00:35:50.159
<v Speaker 6>think it is like a too aggressive approach, it's one thing.

690
00:35:50.159 --> 00:35:52.320
<v Speaker 6>But I like, I again, like they're just trying to

691
00:35:52.360 --> 00:35:54.320
<v Speaker 6>get me ready for postseason. That's the only thing that matters.

692
00:35:54.360 --> 00:35:56.000
<v Speaker 6>So I think if I miss a starter or two,

693
00:35:56.760 --> 00:35:58.639
<v Speaker 6>like I'll be frustrate and everything. But I think the

694
00:35:58.679 --> 00:36:00.599
<v Speaker 6>long term picture, it does it make more sense. Like

695
00:36:00.599 --> 00:36:03.440
<v Speaker 6>it's hard to swallow, but it is what it is.

696
00:36:03.480 --> 00:36:05.880
<v Speaker 6>You know, you're kind of like a normal brushing on

697
00:36:05.920 --> 00:36:08.280
<v Speaker 6>the eyel sort of your normal same routine.

698
00:36:08.360 --> 00:36:08.559
<v Speaker 8>I think.

699
00:36:08.599 --> 00:36:09.920
<v Speaker 6>So I'm not really quite sure what I'm gonna do.

700
00:36:09.920 --> 00:36:11.719
<v Speaker 6>I'm still waiting for some into but I think I'm

701
00:36:11.800 --> 00:36:14.599
<v Speaker 6>just gonna take a little bit of time start throwing.

702
00:36:14.639 --> 00:36:16.440
<v Speaker 6>Like I feel good now, i'd probably start throwing, and

703
00:36:17.400 --> 00:36:20.519
<v Speaker 6>I think hopefully I can. It's like retroactive or whatever,

704
00:36:20.599 --> 00:36:23.559
<v Speaker 6>and I'll be able to start. I don't even know

705
00:36:23.559 --> 00:36:25.519
<v Speaker 6>the day, like twelve days from now or something like that.

706
00:36:25.880 --> 00:36:28.199
<v Speaker 6>So that's the only thing I've kind of planning torch

707
00:36:28.280 --> 00:36:28.559
<v Speaker 6>right now.

708
00:36:28.800 --> 00:36:31.400
<v Speaker 5>I kind of went through six scans and got information

709
00:36:31.480 --> 00:36:34.280
<v Speaker 5>from the team. Did they think kind of what just happens? Like,

710
00:36:34.400 --> 00:36:36.239
<v Speaker 5>I know we've made a big deal about the innings

711
00:36:36.239 --> 00:36:38.400
<v Speaker 5>and stuff like that, but does that kind of play

712
00:36:38.400 --> 00:36:39.280
<v Speaker 5>a factor in through anything?

713
00:36:39.360 --> 00:36:39.440
<v Speaker 7>Right?

714
00:36:39.639 --> 00:36:41.760
<v Speaker 5>What do you mean, like thetend and night is kind

715
00:36:41.760 --> 00:36:42.960
<v Speaker 5>of creeping up at this sum of the year, Like

716
00:36:43.119 --> 00:36:44.760
<v Speaker 5>it's just kind of like something to happen that the

717
00:36:44.800 --> 00:36:45.480
<v Speaker 5>surgery or like.

718
00:36:45.440 --> 00:36:47.400
<v Speaker 6>This, I don't potentially like part of me thinks it's

719
00:36:47.440 --> 00:36:48.679
<v Speaker 6>just as like a post like it hasn't been that

720
00:36:48.719 --> 00:36:50.400
<v Speaker 6>long sin surgery and my arm has been feeling really good.

721
00:36:50.440 --> 00:36:51.800
<v Speaker 6>It's just one of those like I think there's just

722
00:36:51.840 --> 00:36:53.679
<v Speaker 6>scar tissue and things that have to open up and

723
00:36:54.440 --> 00:36:56.880
<v Speaker 6>or it's not maybe like I don't it feels pretty

724
00:36:56.880 --> 00:37:00.920
<v Speaker 6>fine to me though. Yeah, I just think that's just

725
00:37:00.960 --> 00:37:02.760
<v Speaker 6>the nature of throwing. And like I think ten and

726
00:37:02.840 --> 00:37:04.800
<v Speaker 6>night is something that everyone deals with at some point,

727
00:37:05.480 --> 00:37:07.159
<v Speaker 6>So I think it's just like a cautious approach and

728
00:37:07.199 --> 00:37:10.480
<v Speaker 6>it is what it is, you know, something No, I

729
00:37:10.480 --> 00:37:12.199
<v Speaker 6>mean I kind of want to say something, and it's

730
00:37:12.239 --> 00:37:15.840
<v Speaker 6>almost like a for me to say something. It was like, Okay,

731
00:37:16.119 --> 00:37:17.920
<v Speaker 6>I like want to mention it, you know, And then

732
00:37:17.960 --> 00:37:20.239
<v Speaker 6>I think that day it was just a normal soreness,

733
00:37:20.239 --> 00:37:21.639
<v Speaker 6>and then like the following days it was like, oh,

734
00:37:21.679 --> 00:37:24.320
<v Speaker 6>I feel like it's fine. I just think I'm also

735
00:37:25.400 --> 00:37:29.119
<v Speaker 6>planning on or like my most important priority is postseason

736
00:37:29.119 --> 00:37:30.760
<v Speaker 6>and like winning a World Series. And I think just

737
00:37:31.639 --> 00:37:35.440
<v Speaker 6>with with being here for so long and having the contract,

738
00:37:35.519 --> 00:37:37.400
<v Speaker 6>like I think I'm kind of obligated to like mention

739
00:37:37.559 --> 00:37:38.920
<v Speaker 6>it to them and like we kind of have to

740
00:37:38.920 --> 00:37:44.000
<v Speaker 6>think of it as a team, you know, and whether yeah, yeah, did.

741
00:37:43.960 --> 00:37:46.320
<v Speaker 2>You did you have an MRI and Did that give

742
00:37:46.320 --> 00:37:47.519
<v Speaker 2>you some sort of peace of mind?

743
00:37:48.159 --> 00:37:49.159
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I'm waiting.

744
00:37:49.360 --> 00:37:51.599
<v Speaker 6>It wasn't like anything crazy. I'm still waiting for like

745
00:37:51.760 --> 00:37:53.920
<v Speaker 6>people to like look at it and talk about it,

746
00:37:53.960 --> 00:37:56.320
<v Speaker 6>you know, like doctors and stuff. So I'm still I'm

747
00:37:56.360 --> 00:37:59.599
<v Speaker 6>waiting on that. But what I've gotten initially is like

748
00:37:59.639 --> 00:38:03.519
<v Speaker 6>it's it's fine, just tenan itis. Yeah, did you cut

749
00:38:03.559 --> 00:38:05.840
<v Speaker 6>short your bullpen session or did you just know it

750
00:38:05.880 --> 00:38:06.679
<v Speaker 6>was normal?

751
00:38:06.840 --> 00:38:07.360
<v Speaker 3>Felt good?

752
00:38:08.079 --> 00:38:09.920
<v Speaker 6>Just a little soreness, like I said, But like there's

753
00:38:10.880 --> 00:38:12.320
<v Speaker 6>like a fine line, I guess, like everyone has a

754
00:38:12.360 --> 00:38:13.760
<v Speaker 6>little soreness, you know what I mean. Like it's just

755
00:38:13.840 --> 00:38:16.039
<v Speaker 6>one of those things I mentioned, And they just took

756
00:38:16.039 --> 00:38:20.079
<v Speaker 6>a really cautious route and it's probably better off for everyone.

757
00:38:20.119 --> 00:38:23.559
<v Speaker 3>So it is what it is, all right, it is

758
00:38:23.599 --> 00:38:24.880
<v Speaker 3>what it is. Tyler Glass.

759
00:38:24.880 --> 00:38:27.280
<v Speaker 2>Now you have said that your elbow wasn't feeling great,

760
00:38:27.559 --> 00:38:30.679
<v Speaker 2>and the Dodgers did the responsible thing by putting you

761
00:38:30.800 --> 00:38:33.880
<v Speaker 2>on the injured list, and you heard what Tyler glassnaw

762
00:38:34.000 --> 00:38:36.480
<v Speaker 2>had to say. He expects to be back pitching in

763
00:38:36.519 --> 00:38:40.599
<v Speaker 2>twelve days when he's eligible to come off the il. Well,

764
00:38:40.760 --> 00:38:43.880
<v Speaker 2>that puts him right in line to either pitch the

765
00:38:43.920 --> 00:38:48.159
<v Speaker 2>final game of the Baltimore Orioles series at Dodgers Stadium,

766
00:38:48.199 --> 00:38:51.920
<v Speaker 2>but more than likely the Dodgers will hold him back

767
00:38:51.960 --> 00:38:54.679
<v Speaker 2>and set them up to pitch during the four game

768
00:38:54.800 --> 00:38:59.480
<v Speaker 2>series against the Arizona Diamondbacks in Phoenix, which begins on

769
00:38:59.599 --> 00:39:03.199
<v Speaker 2>August thirtieth. How big of a series is that? Now,

770
00:39:03.639 --> 00:39:06.760
<v Speaker 2>four big games in the desert for the Dodgers at

771
00:39:06.800 --> 00:39:09.719
<v Speaker 2>the end of this month, and Tyler glass Now more

772
00:39:09.760 --> 00:39:12.039
<v Speaker 2>than likely will be lined up to pitch one of

773
00:39:12.039 --> 00:39:15.559
<v Speaker 2>those four games, and hopefully the Dodgers by now by

774
00:39:15.599 --> 00:39:18.559
<v Speaker 2>then will have a larger lead in the division than

775
00:39:18.559 --> 00:39:21.320
<v Speaker 2>they do right now. The Padres are only going to

776
00:39:21.360 --> 00:39:23.800
<v Speaker 2>be two games back at the end of tonight, and

777
00:39:23.880 --> 00:39:27.480
<v Speaker 2>the Diamondbacks, who lost in Tampa Bay are remaining three

778
00:39:27.559 --> 00:39:32.639
<v Speaker 2>games back. So that was Tyler glass Now's explanation before

779
00:39:32.840 --> 00:39:36.360
<v Speaker 2>today's game on why all of a sudden he could

780
00:39:36.360 --> 00:39:40.199
<v Speaker 2>not make tonight's start or today's start, and just how

781
00:39:40.360 --> 00:39:42.840
<v Speaker 2>there was some sort of back and forth not only

782
00:39:42.880 --> 00:39:46.800
<v Speaker 2>between him and the team, but also it sounded like

783
00:39:46.880 --> 00:39:49.159
<v Speaker 2>he had a lot of voices in his own head

784
00:39:49.519 --> 00:39:53.159
<v Speaker 2>trying to figure out and kind of rationalize what was

785
00:39:53.199 --> 00:39:56.400
<v Speaker 2>going on in his elbow. What I will say is

786
00:39:56.519 --> 00:40:01.079
<v Speaker 2>the good news is that it's not serious. Ten tonightis

787
00:40:01.639 --> 00:40:04.239
<v Speaker 2>what I also will say, and I'll get back on

788
00:40:04.320 --> 00:40:10.360
<v Speaker 2>my soapbox, Mike Clayton Kershaw appreciation soapbox. I feel like

789
00:40:10.760 --> 00:40:13.639
<v Speaker 2>we all take for granted the fact that a guy

790
00:40:13.800 --> 00:40:18.000
<v Speaker 2>like Kershaw, throughout his career has taken the ball no

791
00:40:18.079 --> 00:40:21.239
<v Speaker 2>matter how he has felt, to be able to go

792
00:40:21.320 --> 00:40:24.320
<v Speaker 2>out there and make close to thirty starts as many

793
00:40:24.360 --> 00:40:28.480
<v Speaker 2>times as possible. He has done thirty starts six times

794
00:40:28.480 --> 00:40:31.719
<v Speaker 2>in his career, He's made at least twenty five starts

795
00:40:31.840 --> 00:40:35.119
<v Speaker 2>ten times in his career, and he's made at least

796
00:40:35.119 --> 00:40:39.920
<v Speaker 2>twenty starts fifteen times in his career. So here we

797
00:40:39.960 --> 00:40:43.480
<v Speaker 2>are talking about Tyler Glass now making a career high

798
00:40:43.880 --> 00:40:46.880
<v Speaker 2>twenty two starts, and we have to be very careful

799
00:40:46.920 --> 00:40:50.599
<v Speaker 2>with him, which is fine, that's his career, that's his path.

800
00:40:51.199 --> 00:40:54.639
<v Speaker 2>But I think we all should remind ourselves that not

801
00:40:54.719 --> 00:40:57.840
<v Speaker 2>only has Clayton Kershaw been one of the greatest pitchers

802
00:40:57.880 --> 00:41:01.000
<v Speaker 2>the sport has ever seen, but part of that is

803
00:41:01.480 --> 00:41:05.480
<v Speaker 2>he's out there every fifth day and not getting extra

804
00:41:05.559 --> 00:41:08.880
<v Speaker 2>rest all the time throughout the majority of his career. Now,

805
00:41:08.920 --> 00:41:11.800
<v Speaker 2>obviously he's in the twilight of his career, things are

806
00:41:11.800 --> 00:41:15.039
<v Speaker 2>a little bit different, but even last year he made

807
00:41:15.039 --> 00:41:19.320
<v Speaker 2>twenty plus starts. And I will also say we should

808
00:41:19.320 --> 00:41:24.480
<v Speaker 2>all appreciate the all time Dodgers saves leader ken Lee Janssen.

809
00:41:25.119 --> 00:41:31.840
<v Speaker 2>How many relievers make fifty appearances for thirteen straight full seasons.

810
00:41:32.159 --> 00:41:35.280
<v Speaker 2>I would love to know what other closer has been

811
00:41:35.280 --> 00:41:39.039
<v Speaker 2>able to do that. And as you know, Kenley Jansen

812
00:41:39.159 --> 00:41:41.400
<v Speaker 2>didn't just come in for one out in the ninth

813
00:41:41.480 --> 00:41:44.559
<v Speaker 2>inning or even three outs in the ninth inning of

814
00:41:44.639 --> 00:41:47.679
<v Speaker 2>games when he was at the height of his powers

815
00:41:47.719 --> 00:41:52.239
<v Speaker 2>in twenty sixteen, twenty seventeen, Dave Roberts trotted him out

816
00:41:52.320 --> 00:41:56.280
<v Speaker 2>for a lot of multiple inning saves and Alex Kora

817
00:41:56.440 --> 00:41:59.239
<v Speaker 2>actually did that before the All Star break this year,

818
00:41:59.559 --> 00:42:04.559
<v Speaker 2>so he's still going strong. How many relievers pitch fifty

819
00:42:04.760 --> 00:42:11.079
<v Speaker 2>games in thirteen straight full seasons. How many relievers and closers,

820
00:42:11.119 --> 00:42:16.000
<v Speaker 2>specifically because the ninth inning is high stress, appear in

821
00:42:16.199 --> 00:42:22.000
<v Speaker 2>sixty games nine times in their career doesn't happen. I

822
00:42:22.039 --> 00:42:25.159
<v Speaker 2>think we all have to appreciate the fact these pitchers

823
00:42:25.199 --> 00:42:30.159
<v Speaker 2>that are able to be reliable. That's part of being

824
00:42:30.199 --> 00:42:34.559
<v Speaker 2>a great player, being reliable, being able to be out there.

825
00:42:35.039 --> 00:42:38.079
<v Speaker 2>If Tyler glasnow wants to be an ace, he's got

826
00:42:38.119 --> 00:42:41.840
<v Speaker 2>to be reliable to be out there every fifth day,

827
00:42:42.320 --> 00:42:45.599
<v Speaker 2>And the Dodgers have taken extra good care of him,

828
00:42:45.639 --> 00:42:49.119
<v Speaker 2>giving him extra day's rest all season long. So I

829
00:42:49.239 --> 00:42:54.000
<v Speaker 2>feel like last year was a step forward in his career.

830
00:42:54.760 --> 00:42:58.679
<v Speaker 2>This year has been another step forward in his career,

831
00:42:58.679 --> 00:43:02.679
<v Speaker 2>and hopefully the postseason takes him to another level in

832
00:43:02.760 --> 00:43:07.559
<v Speaker 2>his career. But moving forward, I feel like the training

833
00:43:07.559 --> 00:43:10.440
<v Speaker 2>wheels have got to come off on Tyler Glass now.

834
00:43:10.480 --> 00:43:14.239
<v Speaker 2>He's got to be reliable and manage his body and

835
00:43:14.320 --> 00:43:18.079
<v Speaker 2>manage the pain tolerance to be out there for twenty

836
00:43:18.119 --> 00:43:22.840
<v Speaker 2>five at least twenty five starts. I believe he he

837
00:43:22.960 --> 00:43:26.480
<v Speaker 2>did feel pain in his elbow. I'm not questioning that,

838
00:43:27.039 --> 00:43:30.320
<v Speaker 2>But today he's saying he feels fine. So it's hard

839
00:43:30.360 --> 00:43:35.199
<v Speaker 2>for me to back Tyler Glass now to say, you

840
00:43:35.199 --> 00:43:37.400
<v Speaker 2>know what, you shouldn't have put him on the il.

841
00:43:38.039 --> 00:43:40.480
<v Speaker 2>You left the Dodgers no other choice. When you say

842
00:43:40.519 --> 00:43:44.159
<v Speaker 2>your elbows barking after a bullpen session, they had no

843
00:43:44.239 --> 00:43:45.199
<v Speaker 2>other choice.

844
00:43:45.679 --> 00:43:46.760
<v Speaker 3>There's nothing they could do.

845
00:43:47.519 --> 00:43:50.199
<v Speaker 2>Eight six six nine, eight seven two five seventy is

846
00:43:50.239 --> 00:43:53.519
<v Speaker 2>the phone number Dodgers fall to the Cardinals tonight five

847
00:43:53.639 --> 00:43:56.320
<v Speaker 2>to two. Let's take one more phone call before we

848
00:43:56.360 --> 00:44:00.000
<v Speaker 2>say good night. Bobby in the Central Valley. How you doing, Bobby,

849
00:44:00.199 --> 00:44:01.920
<v Speaker 2>You're on Dodger Talk. Walk us off?

850
00:44:02.119 --> 00:44:03.599
<v Speaker 3>Good Thank you, Davie.

851
00:44:03.880 --> 00:44:07.039
<v Speaker 12>Hey, I was agreeing with you on the curse all talk.

852
00:44:07.480 --> 00:44:09.760
<v Speaker 12>We kind of forget about him, man, he's uh, he's

853
00:44:09.760 --> 00:44:12.480
<v Speaker 12>been our guy for X amount of years and uh,

854
00:44:12.920 --> 00:44:15.079
<v Speaker 12>you know right now he's all went healthy and hopefully

855
00:44:15.119 --> 00:44:15.960
<v Speaker 12>he'll carry us through.

856
00:44:16.079 --> 00:44:18.480
<v Speaker 7>I would tell my cousin today, I go here we

857
00:44:18.519 --> 00:44:18.880
<v Speaker 7>go again.

858
00:44:18.920 --> 00:44:20.440
<v Speaker 12>We're gonna have to rely on Poort Curshaw.

859
00:44:21.639 --> 00:44:23.280
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, but he's a min staple man.

860
00:44:23.320 --> 00:44:26.960
<v Speaker 12>You know, he's our guy, and uh, I don't people

861
00:44:27.000 --> 00:44:27.679
<v Speaker 12>forget about him.

862
00:44:27.679 --> 00:44:31.320
<v Speaker 3>You know, I don't think anybody's forgetting him.

863
00:44:31.400 --> 00:44:35.159
<v Speaker 2>But I think we have all taken for granted, just

864
00:44:35.280 --> 00:44:38.840
<v Speaker 2>granted there he has done for the Dodgers, even in

865
00:44:38.880 --> 00:44:43.119
<v Speaker 2>the postseason, going in anymore because the bullpen wasn't very good,

866
00:44:43.519 --> 00:44:46.480
<v Speaker 2>or pitching on three days rest in the postseason, because

867
00:44:46.480 --> 00:44:50.000
<v Speaker 2>they had nobody else. Everybody just points to the failures,

868
00:44:50.039 --> 00:44:51.960
<v Speaker 2>but don't look at the circumstances.

869
00:44:52.639 --> 00:44:54.920
<v Speaker 12>You're right, my friend, you are one hundred percent right.

870
00:44:56.079 --> 00:44:58.480
<v Speaker 3>Let's snack on Kenley Jansen's name too.

871
00:44:59.280 --> 00:45:01.760
<v Speaker 12>Oh your damn right. And one last thing, you were

872
00:45:01.800 --> 00:45:02.840
<v Speaker 12>talking about Mountain.

873
00:45:02.639 --> 00:45:05.000
<v Speaker 7>Edmund earlier coming back Monday and Tuesdays.

874
00:45:05.960 --> 00:45:08.880
<v Speaker 12>Don't you think Hayward should be sent down?

875
00:45:09.079 --> 00:45:11.880
<v Speaker 9>Or I mean, I know you can't be.

876
00:45:11.880 --> 00:45:12.880
<v Speaker 3>Sent down either.

877
00:45:12.920 --> 00:45:15.639
<v Speaker 2>You're gonna cut ties with Jason Hayward. And look, he's

878
00:45:15.679 --> 00:45:18.840
<v Speaker 2>been on the team for the last year and a half.

879
00:45:19.719 --> 00:45:22.400
<v Speaker 2>I just don't see how that would be great just

880
00:45:22.480 --> 00:45:25.360
<v Speaker 2>to cut him. It feels like you want to keep

881
00:45:25.400 --> 00:45:28.840
<v Speaker 2>the roster depth and PAHs as options. It's not like

882
00:45:28.920 --> 00:45:31.760
<v Speaker 2>he's lighting the world on fire. He wasn't playing great

883
00:45:31.800 --> 00:45:36.639
<v Speaker 2>defense in center field. He's starting to get better ever

884
00:45:36.679 --> 00:45:40.000
<v Speaker 2>since Raoula Banyez was with the team in Milwaukee.

885
00:45:40.000 --> 00:45:42.599
<v Speaker 3>But look, this is a roster crunch.

886
00:45:43.079 --> 00:45:48.400
<v Speaker 2>So this is a tough conversation, but obvious to me,

887
00:45:48.480 --> 00:45:51.000
<v Speaker 2>the obvious choice it is.

888
00:45:51.159 --> 00:45:52.159
<v Speaker 12>Okay, Well, thank you DV.

889
00:45:52.239 --> 00:45:52.800
<v Speaker 1>You have a good night.

890
00:45:52.880 --> 00:45:55.760
<v Speaker 2>Huh, thank you, Bobby, thanks for calling. That's a good

891
00:45:55.760 --> 00:45:58.280
<v Speaker 2>way to end the show. Good call all right, tomorrow

892
00:45:58.440 --> 00:45:59.880
<v Speaker 2>Kershaw Day Here in St.

893

<v Speaker 3>Lewis.

894
00:46:00.719 --> 00:46:03.280
<v Speaker 2>Kershaw coming off his first win of the season and

895
00:46:03.320 --> 00:46:06.079
<v Speaker 2>his best start of the year in Milwaukee, he is

896
00:46:06.119 --> 00:46:08.400
<v Speaker 2>one in two with an ERA at three point fifty,

897
00:46:08.800 --> 00:46:13.840
<v Speaker 2>going up against another veteran, crafty righty Sonny Gray, who's

898
00:46:13.880 --> 00:46:16.360
<v Speaker 2>eleven and seven this year with an ERA of three

899
00:46:16.440 --> 00:46:19.960
<v Speaker 2>ninety three. Morongo Casino. Dodgers on Deck begins at ten

00:46:20.000 --> 00:46:24.400
<v Speaker 2>am tomorrow with first pitch at eleven fifteen. That'll do

901
00:46:24.440 --> 00:46:27.239
<v Speaker 2>it for us on Dodger Talk tonight. Ten Kates will

902
00:46:27.239 --> 00:46:30.079
<v Speaker 2>be along tomorrow for Getaway Day, and then I'll rejoin

903
00:46:30.280 --> 00:46:34.039
<v Speaker 2>on Monday night from Dodgers Stadium when Justin Turner and

904
00:46:34.079 --> 00:46:37.440
<v Speaker 2>the Mariners come to town. And by the way, that'll

905
00:46:37.480 --> 00:46:40.039
<v Speaker 2>be the first time Justin Turner has played at Dodgers

906
00:46:40.039 --> 00:46:43.239
<v Speaker 2>Stadium not wearing a Dodger uniform.

907
00:46:43.760 --> 00:46:47.920
<v Speaker 3>It's been a well, i should say, since not wearing

908
00:46:47.920 --> 00:46:48.960
<v Speaker 3>a Dodger uniform.

909
00:46:49.159 --> 00:46:52.320
<v Speaker 2>Last time he played at Dodger Stadium was actually during

910
00:46:52.360 --> 00:46:55.159
<v Speaker 2>the twenty twenty two NLBS Game two.

911
00:46:55.719 --> 00:46:58.760
<v Speaker 3>Against the Padres. Never played another game for the Dodgers

912
00:46:58.800 --> 00:46:59.239
<v Speaker 3>after that.

913
00:46:59.639 --> 00:47:02.400
<v Speaker 2>Retz didn't come to town last year and the Blue

914
00:47:02.480 --> 00:47:03.719
<v Speaker 2>Jays did not come to town.

915
00:47:03.800 --> 00:47:06.440
<v Speaker 3>But since he was created to the Mariners, here we are.

916
00:47:06.679 --> 00:47:10.679
<v Speaker 2>Justin Turner expected to come back on Monday and hopefully

917
00:47:11.000 --> 00:47:15.239
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers have a classic eighties type montage ready for

918
00:47:15.400 --> 00:47:18.800
<v Speaker 2>Justin Turner on Monday Night. All right, thanks calling ye
