Speaker 1: One thing about this gene is the invisible and tangibles
Speaker 1: that they have.
Speaker 2: This team is really becoming a family. Let's not play
Speaker 2: one on Tom. Let's wind it.
Speaker 3: I love writing me these guys after the show, just
Speaker 3: thank you.
Speaker 4: Give me are your attention, your fire and not a pisson.
Speaker 5: This is world champion, Dodgers, world championing for a small
Speaker 5: soft time.
Speaker 6: They get a people what they want to die to
Speaker 6: arow two is special.
Speaker 4: I'm like, yeah, it's not a headache.
Speaker 7: One of a con.
Speaker 8: This ball's gone. You ready to go? Hell time to.
Speaker 5: The sound grab your phone to get in on the
Speaker 5: show called eight six six nine eighty seven two five seven.
Speaker 8: And go to the show.
Speaker 5: And now your host of Dodger Talk, David Bassey.
Speaker 7: What a game, what a homestand this has been really exciting.
Speaker 7: The Dodgers get the win tonight, six to five in
Speaker 7: ten innings over the Mets, thanks to Freddie Freeman's walk off,
Speaker 7: and some thanks to Brandon Nimo because he really misplayed
Speaker 7: that ball and it could have been a lot different
Speaker 7: story if he was able to play it.
Speaker 8: The way he normally would.
Speaker 7: But nonetheless, the Dodgers will take it as they beat
Speaker 7: the Mets six to five in ten innings. Tanner Scott
Speaker 7: with the win. He was big. He got through the
Speaker 7: teeth of the Mets lineup, including Soto and Alonso, in
Speaker 7: the top of the tenth inning to give Freddie Freeman
Speaker 7: and the Dodger offense that chance to win it in
Speaker 7: the bottom of the tenth inning. A very different story
Speaker 7: than just twenty four hours ago, as Tanner Scott gave
Speaker 7: up the go ahead runs in the tenth inning and
Speaker 7: the Dodgers lost to the Mets last night in extra innings.
Speaker 7: But the Dodgers fought back. And I have said this
Speaker 7: all season long, and it's becoming very apparent, and you know,
Speaker 7: not really breaking news here, but this is the best
Speaker 7: offense in baseball.
Speaker 8: And when they're at home and you get.
Speaker 7: Give them an opportunity to come back with the last
Speaker 7: at bad of the game, there's a very good chance
Speaker 7: they're going to deliver. And if they don't, I'll say
Speaker 7: I've said it before, I'll say it again. You survive
Speaker 7: the Dodgers more than you beat the Dodgers. But the
Speaker 7: Mets are a very good team. I would say the
Speaker 7: Mets and Phillies are the two best teams the Dodgers
Speaker 7: have played so far this season. I said this last night,
Speaker 7: and I think we can all agree on this. Yeah,
Speaker 7: the Yankees have the best record in the American League,
Speaker 7: but the American League is not very good. And that
Speaker 7: was apparent because the Mets are a much better team
Speaker 7: than what the Yankees are, and the Dodgers have really
Speaker 7: had to fight in the first two games of this
Speaker 7: series to even have a chance to win the games.
Speaker 7: And so far the Dodgers have been able to hang
Speaker 7: in there with one of the best pitching staffs in
Speaker 7: all a Major League Baseball. They scored five runs off
Speaker 7: of Tyler McGill out a long beach, but then after
Speaker 7: they scored those four runs in the first inning.
Speaker 8: Tyler McGill.
Speaker 7: Was able to settle in and mix in his off
Speaker 7: speed pitches rather than just going heavy fastball, and retired
Speaker 7: sixteen of the last seventeen batters that he faced. And
Speaker 7: it reminded me of Tony Gonsolin last Friday night against
Speaker 7: the Yankees. Gives up four home runs in the first
Speaker 7: three innings, but hung in there and retired the last
Speaker 7: nine in a row that he faced to give the
Speaker 7: Dodgers that opportunity to come back against Max Freed, and
Speaker 7: that's kind of what Tyler McGill did for the Mets tonight,
Speaker 7: as they were able to take the lead in the
Speaker 7: fifth inning thanks to a ground ball that Max Monsey
Speaker 7: will tell you he should field and the Dodgers would
Speaker 7: have been out of that inning Instead, it opened the
Speaker 7: door for the Mets to take the lead four to three.
Speaker 7: It was Munthsey's ninth era of the season, and certainly
Speaker 7: nobody felt better and more relief than Max Munsey when
Speaker 7: he hit his second home run of the game to
Speaker 7: tie the score in the ninth inning off of Huascar Brazuban,
Speaker 7: who is trying to close the game because Edwin Diaz
Speaker 7: had been used in three the last four so the
Speaker 7: Mets could not go to him again tonight to close
Speaker 7: the game. Ryan Stanek was not available either. He had
Speaker 7: been used quite a bit as well, so the Mets
Speaker 7: bullpen was a little thin, and certainly the Dodgers were
Speaker 7: in a great position the longer this game went, especially
Speaker 7: after Munsey tied the game off of Brazabon in the
Speaker 7: bottom of the ninth inning. Eight six, six, nine seven
Speaker 7: two five seventy is the phone number.
Speaker 8: Let's head downstairs.
Speaker 7: Right now to the Dodger club House to hear from
Speaker 7: the World Series MVP and tonight's hero Freddie Freeman.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 9: I mean, honestly, everyone was a big win, but after
Speaker 9: the last couple of games, it's it's nice to get
Speaker 9: back on the winning of the quiz.
Speaker 8: The credit to Ben.
Speaker 9: That was a huge outing coming in for Kursh and
Speaker 9: then obviously Max, we wouldn't be in this situation with that.
Speaker 8: What were you seeing there from Botel in the game.
Speaker 9: I was just trying to get something up and hopefully
Speaker 9: hit the ball in the air. Just the main thing
Speaker 9: was just not ground to a double play, just in
Speaker 9: case so we can give Taylor a chance if I
Speaker 9: flew out or something like that. So I'm just trying
Speaker 9: to get something up and get in the air. You
Speaker 9: just kind of start reading demo, kind of struggling to
Speaker 9: find it as you're round on the basest, to be honest,
Speaker 9: but I was just kind of running and hoping it
Speaker 9: went out because I knew I hit it high and
Speaker 9: over there. But I think once you know that, I
Speaker 9: think we all know what the dudes on the mats
Speaker 9: of the dugouts. You know it's gonna be hard to
Speaker 9: hit one out. But I'm just glad to I was
Speaker 9: able to fall.
Speaker 1: For you guys line up with you have Max kind
Speaker 1: of finding the power, that kind of highest.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean, I think Max has been doing this
Speaker 9: for about a month now, right, He's he's been looking
Speaker 9: like Max again. So to have him and Andy down
Speaker 9: there too, and I mean our lineup is pretty deep already,
Speaker 9: and you have the guys down there and hay Sung
Speaker 9: down at the bottom and create havoc down there too.
Speaker 9: So I think it's just a lot of good things
Speaker 9: that can happen in the game. We started putting it
Speaker 9: together lest year.
Speaker 8: That's what Freddy Freeman wants to do.
Speaker 7: He actually told me before the game today, I want
Speaker 7: to start hitting fly balls again to the opposite field,
Speaker 7: to left field.
Speaker 8: Well he did it, and that was a big hit.
Speaker 7: And look, when Freddy Freeman came to the plate in
Speaker 7: that situation against who Jose Budo, you felt pretty confident
Speaker 7: he could get a base hit to score Tommy Edmond
Speaker 7: from second base. But that ball that Freddie Freeman hit,
Speaker 7: you know, he just said it. There's been some do
Speaker 7: and it's been a lot of marine layer laid in
Speaker 7: the game here at night the last two nights here
Speaker 7: at Dodgers Stadium, so the ball's not flying the way
Speaker 7: it would or the way it was even just on
Speaker 7: the last homestand so last night a lot of balls
Speaker 7: died late in the game. Sho Hao Tani had to
Speaker 7: hit a ball one hundred and thirteen miles an hour
Speaker 7: to get it out, And that's part of what happened
Speaker 7: there in the tenth inning where Freddie Freeman thought he
Speaker 7: hit it out, but it turned out to be a
Speaker 7: walkoff double hitting the warning track at the base of
Speaker 7: the left field wall. I would say, if you watch
Speaker 7: that replay, nine out of ten left fielders, nine out
Speaker 7: of ten times Brandon Nimo probably catches that fly ball.
Speaker 7: And it's a much different game because Tommy Edmond tags
Speaker 7: he's at third base with two outs.
Speaker 8: Who knows what happens from there.
Speaker 7: But that was a ball that brandon Nimo got turned
Speaker 7: around and he just did not know which way to turn,
Speaker 7: and it was very unusual to see in that situation.
Speaker 7: And brandon Nimo was outside of the Mets clubhouse just
Speaker 7: moments ago on SNY and spoke to the media about
Speaker 7: just what was happening there on that Freddie Freeman walk
Speaker 7: off double?
Speaker 2: Brandon?
Speaker 10: What happened on that fly ball?
Speaker 1: We were played in to try and be able to
Speaker 1: throw out? Say, you got a base hit, and as
Speaker 1: soon as you hit it on you, I said, well,
Speaker 1: put my head down to get back towards the fence.
Speaker 1: When I put it went over the left shoulder. When
Speaker 1: I looked looked up, it was still over the left shoulder,
Speaker 1: And uh, I guess now, am I right? When I
Speaker 1: was looking over and then I checked the wall real
Speaker 1: quick and put my eyes back up, and then and
Speaker 1: moved to the other shoulder. So by that time there's
Speaker 1: not enough time to recover. So I acted a little
Speaker 1: bit differently than than what I'm used to. But sometimes
Speaker 1: that happens in the game. So it was unfortunate. I
Speaker 1: would have loved and made that play. I have two
Speaker 1: outs and you know, a chance to get out of
Speaker 1: there and and go and try again. But you know,
Speaker 1: unfortunately sometimes that happened. Sometimes the ball doesn't doesn't go
Speaker 1: the way you think you're not used to, even just
Speaker 1: the way it was taking it when I looked. When
Speaker 1: I looked back, it was still over this shoulder. And
Speaker 1: in the time that I went and I and I
Speaker 1: took a small glance at the fence to kind of
Speaker 1: just check where I was, and back it had already
Speaker 1: gone quite like quite a bit over that way, So
Speaker 1: that means it had some pretty good side spin, which
Speaker 1: I know Freddy's balls do that, but I was not
Speaker 1: obviously prepared for how much that one went at the end.
Speaker 1: Normally it's it's a more gradual kind of slice for
Speaker 1: a lefty. That one happened pretty pretty sharply, pretty quickly. So,
Speaker 1: like I said, by the time I saw it again,
Speaker 1: it wasn't wasn't there, and it was over the other shoulder,
Speaker 1: and it was quite a bit away from me. I
Speaker 1: was probably fifteen feet on the other side of me,
Speaker 1: so I didn't have enough time to put the foot
Speaker 1: in the ground and make up the play.
Speaker 7: All right, there's Brandon Nimo on s n Y explaining
Speaker 7: just what happened there and how he got so turned
Speaker 7: around and upside down on that walk off double by
Speaker 7: Freddie Freeman, who obviously puts a lot of English on
Speaker 7: the ball and he hits it the other way, and
Speaker 7: certainly that's just part of it, right, And that's what
Speaker 7: makes Freddy so great, and that's why obviously that's his
Speaker 7: game plan to hit it that way, and certainly that's
Speaker 7: textbook Freddie Freeman, and he delivers a six to five
Speaker 7: win for the Dodgers in ten innings. Eight six, six, nine,
Speaker 7: seven two five. Seventy is the phone number. We're having
Speaker 7: some trouble with our phone lines right now, so keep trying.
Speaker 7: We'll get you in. But we got to get to
Speaker 7: Tanner Scott right. Tanner Scott has struggled recently in his
Speaker 7: last seven appearances coming into the game tonight, He's given
Speaker 7: up as many earn runs already as he did all
Speaker 7: of last season. But he came up big for the
Speaker 7: Dodgers tonight in the tenth inning, and I loved that
Speaker 7: Dave Roberts brought him back out there because he really
Speaker 7: didn't have any other options after using Vesia and Banda
Speaker 7: and Casparius, he had to bring in Tanner Scott with
Speaker 7: the place runner at second base. Tanner Scott was able
Speaker 7: to strike out Juan Soto, He was able to strike
Speaker 7: out Pete Alonzo and then got Brandon Nimo to ground
Speaker 7: out to in the inning. Let's head downstairs to hear
Speaker 7: from Tanner Scott Tonight's winning picture on sports Net la.
Speaker 8: What's the difference tonight?
Speaker 9: Just kind of using better location on the fastball to
Speaker 9: set up the slider.
Speaker 11: Oh yeah, I mean me, Connor, Bardo and Mark did
Speaker 11: a deep dive and definitely had to clean some things
Speaker 11: up and it was a process and still I mean
Speaker 11: tomorrow's new day and go back.
Speaker 8: Right to it.
Speaker 1: We see this week.
Speaker 8: If you guys like what that uh?
Speaker 11: I was flying open lower half leading to upper half
Speaker 11: and everything was popping out a little early and not
Speaker 11: staying through a pitch and it was leading to locations
Speaker 11: being terrible.
Speaker 9: Is that the stuff that you like you working through
Speaker 9: and catch relate?
Speaker 11: Yeah?
Speaker 2: For sure, like it like you kind of to keep
Speaker 2: working for.
Speaker 11: I mean it's something that you keep working through. I mean,
Speaker 11: tomorrow's a new game of catch and just go right
Speaker 11: back to keep.
Speaker 9: They say as a pitcher or reliever, when you have
Speaker 9: a bad out and you want to come right back
Speaker 9: the next night, Is that how you felt.
Speaker 11: Dred percent? I mean, I mean I always want to
Speaker 11: be there and do well. I mean our team's pretty
Speaker 11: good and I always want to be out there and
Speaker 11: it's my job to get out and I'm gonna keep trying.
Speaker 6: To Probably been doing this a long time.
Speaker 9: But like does the night like tonight just do a
Speaker 9: lot of confidence.
Speaker 1: Why it is just able to bounce back to me,
Speaker 1: it's kinds some stuff.
Speaker 11: Oh yeah, but tomorrow's a new today and I'm looking
Speaker 11: forward to tomorrow.
Speaker 8: All right.
Speaker 7: There's Tanner Scott on sports Net LA coming up big
Speaker 7: for the Dodgers and the tenth inning going through the
Speaker 7: teeth of the Mets lineup. I still felt like there
Speaker 7: was the pitch that he struck out Soto on where
Speaker 7: he uh, Sodo just missed it. It was an eighty
Speaker 7: eight slider in the big part of the plate and
Speaker 7: he just missed it. I mean, flat out swung and
Speaker 7: missed it. That's a pitch that Sodo should have hit.
Speaker 7: So for me, it got better for Tanner Scott tonight.
Speaker 7: But he is still leaving pitches in the big part
Speaker 7: of the plate and hopefully that changes. But certainly it
Speaker 7: was big for him to get Wan Soto and Alonso
Speaker 7: striking them out and then being able to get Brandon
Speaker 7: Nimo to ground out as well. Eight six, six, seven,
Speaker 7: two five seventy is the phone number the Dodgers beat
Speaker 7: them at six to five tonight in ten innings. Coming
Speaker 7: up in the bottom of the hour, we'll hear from
Speaker 7: Jose Mota. Plus we'll hear from Clayton Kershaw coming up
Speaker 7: here in the show. And I had a chance to
Speaker 7: catch up with Tyler glass Now before the game. Yes,
Speaker 7: Tyler glass Now, who also is very encouraged about where
Speaker 7: he's at. I know yesterday Dave Roberts talked about him
Speaker 7: having a setback. Glass Now completely shut down that notion
Speaker 7: and said, I just had a little soreness in my
Speaker 7: back and I'm back to getting close to throwing off
Speaker 7: the mound. So you'll hear from glass Now in a moment.
Speaker 7: But as far as tonight's game goes, and really the
Speaker 7: first two games of this series, you can't ask for
Speaker 7: anything more. This was playoff like baseball, and it's been
Speaker 7: playoff like baseball all homestand long. With the two teams
Speaker 7: the Dodgers faced in the postseason last year, beating the
Speaker 7: Yankees in the World Series, seeing them beating them two
Speaker 7: out of three, and then welcoming in the much improved Mets,
Speaker 7: who they beat in six games in the NLCS. And
Speaker 7: tonight was a big crowd sellout crowd of fifty three,
Speaker 7: four hundred and twenty four. This was playoff like atmosphere,
Speaker 7: and it was playoff like baseball. Both these teams certainly
Speaker 7: brought their a games and it's a good measuring stick.
Speaker 7: And let's not forget the Dodgers lost two out of
Speaker 7: three in New York and they already have lost despite
Speaker 7: sweeping the Cubs in Tokyo, the Dodgers lost the season
Speaker 7: series to the Cubs. Now, I'm not buying that the
Speaker 7: Dodgers are going to have a worse record than the
Speaker 7: Cubs or even be tied with the Cubs, but the
Speaker 7: reality is the Dodgers aren't a much better division than
Speaker 7: the Cubs, so that equals itself out. So when you're
Speaker 7: talking about October in June, if you care about October
Speaker 7: that much, you should care about tie breakers for home
Speaker 7: field advantage, and the Dodgers don't have it against the Cubs,
Speaker 7: and they need to win the next two games to
Speaker 7: have it over the Mets. So tonight was a big
Speaker 7: game in that respect, and I would say there's a
Speaker 7: greater chance at the Dodgers and Mets end up with
Speaker 7: the same record, and you would love to have the
Speaker 7: tiebreaker in that type of situation. And we saw last
Speaker 7: year how big home field advantage was for the Dodgers,
Speaker 7: and you don't just want to discard that, especially with
Speaker 7: this offense.
Speaker 8: You give this.
Speaker 7: Offense the last at bat of the game in a
Speaker 7: one or two run type of deficit situation, that's a
Speaker 7: huge difference in swing than being the visiting team. So
Speaker 7: that's why home field advantage is so important for the Dodgers.
Speaker 7: Eight six six ninety seven two five seventy is the
Speaker 7: phone number. Dodgers beat the Mets tonight six to five
Speaker 7: in ten innings. As far as Kershaw goes tonight, look,
Speaker 7: he's you know, he had him pitched in almost a year.
Speaker 7: He's diminished from what he was even two years ago,
Speaker 7: and he just battles. He just competes. That's what's getting
Speaker 7: him through this. And his smarts and his intelligence and
Speaker 7: understanding and being able to read swings now smarting the
Speaker 7: opposing hitters. That's how he's getting through this. Tonight was
Speaker 7: one of those extremes where he didn't have his curveball,
Speaker 7: which is really tough when he doesn't have his curveball
Speaker 7: and he's throwing eighty eight eighty nine, and compound that
Speaker 7: with the feel for the slider was in and out tonight.
Speaker 7: So I don't even know how he got through four
Speaker 7: and two thirds innings and hung in there for as
Speaker 7: long as he did. I know Dave Roberts was talking
Speaker 7: about counting outs and trying to manage the bullpen. I
Speaker 7: completely understand that. But I was a little surprised with
Speaker 7: Casparius up in the bullpen that after Kershaw was able
Speaker 7: to escape getting Sodo in the fifth inning with a
Speaker 7: four to three lead, that he didn't go to Casparius
Speaker 7: right there against Alonso. But he obviously understands the big
Speaker 7: picture of not only tonight, but the rest of this week,
Speaker 7: the rest of this stretch for the Dodgers. But Casparius
Speaker 7: was up anyway, and he was in there and was very,
Speaker 7: very economical. And Casparius now, in his last five appearances
Speaker 7: eight and two thirds innings, he has not allowed to run.
Speaker 7: He has thirteen strikeouts, two walks, and has allowed just
Speaker 7: one hit. Where would the Dodgers be without Jack Dryer
Speaker 7: and Ben Casparius this year? They absolutely have been the
Speaker 7: MVPs of this Dodger bullpen so far. Eight six six nine,
Speaker 7: eight seven two five seventy is the phone number. Let's
Speaker 7: head downstairs, right now to the Dodger Clubhouse to hear
Speaker 7: from Clayton Kershaw on Sportsnet LA.
Speaker 10: Yeah, I just didn't make enough good pitches. You know,
Speaker 10: I got ahead of some guys, gave us some two
Speaker 10: strike hits, walk guys, gave some hard hit balls. So
Speaker 10: you know, overall, not a not a great day. But
Speaker 10: you know, the team team played great, bailed me out.
Speaker 10: Got a big win there, you know, Freddie with the
Speaker 10: big knock months with two homers, so that was that
Speaker 10: was great to see. You know, we've been lost a
Speaker 10: couple in a row, so it's nice to get that
Speaker 10: win today. But yeah, just just need to pitch better.
Speaker 10: You kind of play a lot start.
Speaker 11: You're getting a bitterer idea of how you're gonna get
Speaker 11: to like where you want to get to.
Speaker 10: Yeah, I think so. I mean I it's kind of
Speaker 10: in and out for me.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 10: I think like I'll go on a stretch of making
Speaker 10: like ten or eleven good pitches in a row and
Speaker 10: then just you know, make enough bad ones to make
Speaker 10: you know, get some damage done with this spa. So
Speaker 10: I just need to put it together for a whole game.
Speaker 10: Figure out how to do that wish. I think I
Speaker 10: can do and we'll do just better be soon.
Speaker 9: You know, at this point, are you kind of able
Speaker 9: to differentiate people?
Speaker 6: I mean, you know kind of the right.
Speaker 9: I mean, you have pitched in a while, you are
Speaker 9: coming on you know, surgery and stuff.
Speaker 10: You know, it's kind of the rustiness so to speak,
Speaker 10: and just kind of where you are at, like thirty
Speaker 10: seven years old. Yeah, I mean physically I feel great.
Speaker 10: I don't feel old, you know, I feel my arm
Speaker 10: feels good. So I don't think that there's no there's
Speaker 10: not really any excuses, you know, it's just just pitch better,
Speaker 10: pitch like you're capable of. I think the stuff's there.
Speaker 10: I think the stuf's there to get people out. It's
Speaker 10: just need to be more consistent for sure.
Speaker 9: Those like tug strike at bats that you can finish off,
Speaker 9: like where the execution.
Speaker 3: Of the pitch is kind of where you're looking for,
Speaker 3: Like how do you kind.
Speaker 10: Of I think if it was, it would have ended
Speaker 10: the bat, you know, so I haven't looked at it again.
Speaker 10: You know. I felt like, you know, especially you know
Speaker 10: that first inning to Alonzo. You know, I felt like
Speaker 10: I made some good sliders. He just I mean, he's
Speaker 10: a good hit or too. You know, Mide filed off
Speaker 10: and filed off some tough, good sliders. I thought, so
Speaker 10: I'll look at it tomorrow a little bit kind of,
Speaker 10: but you know, I definitely the curve ball tonight wasn't good,
Speaker 10: so I need to get that going. Can't just be
Speaker 10: a two pitch guy out there, So definitely need to
Speaker 10: throw my curveball butter for sure.
Speaker 8: All right, there's Clayton Kershaw.
Speaker 7: Obviously the guy understands himself better than anybody, and he
Speaker 7: said it himself. He didn't have his curveball tonight and
Speaker 7: was able to hang in there for four and two
Speaker 7: thirds innings. Jan Sodo hit a two run home run
Speaker 7: off a Kershaw in the third inning, and when Kershaw
Speaker 7: was facing Sodo in the fifth inning with the game
Speaker 7: on the line at that point in time, I know
Speaker 7: he was able to get Sodo out in that third
Speaker 7: in that fifth inning, but he hung a curveball that
Speaker 7: Sodo missed in that fifth inning instead, he popped it
Speaker 7: up to Mookie Betts in the fifth for the second
Speaker 7: out of that inning. But that was another pitch that
Speaker 7: want Soto missed. He missed a couple with the game
Speaker 7: on the line and the Dodgers are very happy that
Speaker 7: Wan Sodo is not hitting on all cylinders just yet.
Speaker 7: Eight six six eight seven two five seventy is the
Speaker 7: phone number. Dodgers beat the Mets in ten innings tonight,
Speaker 7: six to five. Let's go out to Abby, who is
Speaker 7: at Dodgers Stadium tonight?
Speaker 12: Hi?
Speaker 8: Abby, you're on Dodger Talk.
Speaker 12: Hey Dave, So I talk to you on Sunday.
Speaker 6: And I'm so happy today. I mean parents, Scott made
Speaker 6: me believe, I gotta tell you, and benk experience is
Speaker 6: the rookie of the year, and Vonda even made me believe.
Speaker 12: So there you go. I have absolutely no doubt that
Speaker 12: Kershaw will get it together, Mookie will get it together.
Speaker 12: Was so great to see him back tonight. And you know,
Speaker 12: Freddy's freaking freeman.
Speaker 6: Love that guy.
Speaker 7: I love it too. Freddie freaking freeman. That's a good
Speaker 7: way to put it. Used to be Aaron freaking Boone.
Speaker 7: I think New York is saying, uh, Freddy freaking freeman
Speaker 7: because he crushes their teeth.
Speaker 8: What's that, Nicholas de Toros, Freddy freaking freeman out?
Speaker 7: Well, none of the New York teams can, that's for sure.
Speaker 7: Eight sixty six nine eighty seven, two five seventy is
Speaker 7: the phone number. We're gonna take a time out here
Speaker 7: on Dodger Talk. When we come back, we'll check in
Speaker 7: with Jose Mota. You'll hear from Tyler Glass.
Speaker 8: Now.
Speaker 7: I spoke to Kirby Yates. I got an update on
Speaker 7: him as well. So the reinforcements are coming for this
Speaker 7: Dodger bullpen. They hang in there and they were a
Speaker 7: big part of tonight's win as the Dodgers come from
Speaker 7: behind and beat the Men six to five in ten
Speaker 7: innings on a five to seventy LA Sports.

Speaker 7: none bigger than that one in the tenth inning to
Speaker 7: walk the Dodgers off to a six to five victory
Speaker 7: over the Mets in ten innings. David Vasse live at
Speaker 7: Dodgers Stadium. This is Dodger Talk. We are still having
Speaker 7: some issues with the phone line, so we may not
Speaker 7: be able to get to your calls tonight, but certainly
Speaker 7: an exciting win for the Dodgers as they come from
Speaker 7: behind for the twentieth time this season. That's the most
Speaker 7: comeback wins by any team in baseball this year.
Speaker 8: It was their fifth walk off vic of the season.
Speaker 7: That's the second most only to the Giants, who have
Speaker 7: walked off six times this season. Daniel Steelers presents the

Speaker 7: Jewelers Own the Dream. You also hope that big picture wise,
Speaker 7: what took place in the tenth inning, top of the
Speaker 7: tenth thinning is the start of good things for Tanner Scott,
Speaker 7: because obviously he has not pitched well the last eight
Speaker 7: or nine appearances, including last night giving up two runs
Speaker 7: in the top of the tenth inning as the Mets
Speaker 7: beat the Dodgers in ten last night. But tonight, you know,
Speaker 7: he was able to keep his composure and be able
Speaker 7: to get the teeth of the Mets lineup, striking out
Speaker 7: Soto Alonso and getting Nimo to ground out to end
Speaker 7: the top of the tenth thinning with that placed runner
Speaker 7: at second base. So hopefully this is a big confidence
Speaker 7: booster to Tanner Scott. I know he could talk about,
Speaker 7: you know, pitching mechanics and all that stuff, and I'm
Speaker 7: sure that's part of the equation, but confidence is equally
Speaker 7: as important as all that. So hopefully his confidence goes
Speaker 7: up from here and he got results against the teeth
Speaker 7: of the Mets lineup, and it certainly worked out for him.
Speaker 7: Eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy is
Speaker 7: the phone number before we check in with Jose Mota.
Speaker 7: I just want to give you an update on a
Speaker 7: key starting pitcher for the Dodgers, Tyler glass Now, who's
Speaker 7: been out now for weeks and not really sure when
Speaker 7: he's going to return. Dave Roberts said yesterday he had
Speaker 7: some setback with some soreness and it was his back.
Speaker 7: He felt something in his back, but it was very minor.
Speaker 7: When we spoke to him today, he's throwing from one
Speaker 7: hundred feet on flat round. He's gonna throw a bullpen
Speaker 7: session over the weekend, and he is very eager to return,
Speaker 7: which is a great sign. And we had a chance
Speaker 7: to talk to glass Now before today's game, and here's
Speaker 7: what he said as far as his update and why
Speaker 7: he's on the il.
Speaker 3: To begin with, I think it's like the spine angle stuff,
Speaker 3: and like my stride was really straight and I would
Speaker 3: just I would never laying closed. I was just opening up,
Speaker 3: so I would just put a lot of stress on
Speaker 3: my shoulder, and like v Low was down, stuff wasn't good.
Speaker 3: Command was really bad. And when it clicked like anything,
Speaker 3: it was fine, but it was just every time I
Speaker 3: wasn't on track, I didn't really know how to fix
Speaker 3: it because it was just so new. But it was
Speaker 3: just everything was just I was just late on everything.
Speaker 3: I think that's a pictures Like that's every picture's issue
Speaker 3: in their delivery, like landing later, not being on time,
Speaker 3: and I think it was just more late than I'm
Speaker 3: generally used to. Like it would be a great long
Speaker 3: term fix, but I just don't think I was like
Speaker 3: doing it correctly. But I think like the addressments now
Speaker 3: and like kind of trusting my natural throw, it just
Speaker 3: seems to be on time a lot more and there's
Speaker 3: just not so much stress.
Speaker 7: Or were you at a point where you would be
Speaker 7: at the beginning of spring training?
Speaker 8: Is it that type of six week build up?
Speaker 3: I have no idea.
Speaker 8: I hope not.
Speaker 10: I don't.
Speaker 3: I really don't know, but like Velo's good and like
Speaker 3: recovery has been really good, and like I've been on
Speaker 3: the mound, I'm going on and on this week, so
Speaker 3: I'm just taking it bullpen by bullpen and just see
Speaker 3: what it is. Hopefully I can face hit her soon
Speaker 3: and I'm trying to get out there soon, but not
Speaker 3: I mean, I have to be healthy. I want to
Speaker 3: be here for playoffs. So it's like listening to them
Speaker 3: and just trying to figure it all out, but like
Speaker 3: just coming back as soon as I can in a
Speaker 3: healthy way to help the team in the playoffs is
Speaker 3: my goal.
Speaker 7: That's encouraging. Tyler Glass now is motivated to come back.
Speaker 7: He said that he's getting closer to not only throwing
Speaker 7: a bullpen session, but also facing hitters. And look, there's
Speaker 7: a balance. I understand the Dodgers want to be careful
Speaker 7: with Snell and Glass now, but you can't expect these
Speaker 7: guys to come back in August and be in rhythm
Speaker 7: for the postseason. You got to give them, if they're
Speaker 7: able to healthy enough, which I believe they're going to be,
Speaker 7: you got to give them a rhythm to the season
Speaker 7: to ramp up so they can.
Speaker 8: Be peaking in October.
Speaker 7: You can't expect these guys to come back in August
Speaker 7: and all of a sudden perform at their peak level
Speaker 7: in October. If it's if they're able to come back sooner.
Speaker 7: So I think that's where both those guys are at
Speaker 7: as well. Also in the immediate near future, the Dodgers
Speaker 7: are going to get some reinforcements in a big way
Speaker 7: to their bullpen. Michael Kopek is expected to be activated
Speaker 7: this weekend at the latest, according to Dave Roberts and
Speaker 7: also Kirby Yates, he's going to throw to hitters tomorrow
Speaker 7: and if all goes well, he should return at some
Speaker 7: point on this upcoming road trip. So the Dodgers are
Speaker 7: getting guys back, and like I said last night, I
Speaker 7: really believe that when they return home, and even by
Speaker 7: the time they get to San Diego after the weekend
Speaker 7: series in Saint Louis, their bullpen's going to look a
Speaker 7: lot better and a lot deeper than where it's been recently,
Speaker 7: and that certainly will be a boost. And not only
Speaker 7: the guys that are coming back, but also the guys
Speaker 7: that have been put in high leverage situations on a
Speaker 7: regular basis. Eight six, six, nine, seven, two five seventy
Speaker 7: is the phone number. Let's get back to this game
Speaker 7: and check in with Jose Mota.
Speaker 4: It's tough to go around the horn with Jose Mota.
Speaker 7: Jose Mota joins us after the Dodgers come from behind
Speaker 7: and beat the Mets tonight six to five in ten innings.
Speaker 8: Where do we start, Jose?
Speaker 7: Why don't we start with Max Munsey, who hit two
Speaker 7: home runs tonight but felt awful about his error in
Speaker 7: the fifth inning, but he redeemed himself with that game
Speaker 7: tying home run.
Speaker 2: I mean, what a win of emotions for a guy
Speaker 2: like Max Monsey throughout the season with the defensive struggles,
Speaker 2: the ball finding him his situations that have become key
Speaker 2: in Dodgers games lately, and then Max Monthsey finding his
Speaker 2: stry with a bat. I mean, you know any anybody
Speaker 2: who's been in that situation, And obviously, if we play
Speaker 2: the game, you business as situation. You know that when
Speaker 2: you falter with your glove, you want one chance or
Speaker 2: two to redeem yourself with a bat. And for Max Munsey,
Speaker 2: I'm so glad that he made a nice adjustment against
Speaker 2: Brazawan and got the sinker up connected very well control, swing, deep,
Speaker 2: deep contact by the way for Max Munsey. But you
Speaker 2: got to feel good about a guy that cares so much,
Speaker 2: and Dave, you get you know a lot of emotions
Speaker 2: out of Max Munsey, and you know very well how
Speaker 2: much it hurts him when he doesn't play well, when
Speaker 2: he doesn't defend well, and what a relief it is
Speaker 2: when he's able to go out and do something with
Speaker 2: a bath to make up for it.
Speaker 7: Jose Freddie Freeman, what an incredible player, one of the
Speaker 7: best of this generation. What did you see on that
Speaker 7: walk off double? Am I being a little bit too
Speaker 7: hard on Brandon Nimo? I mean he was really turned around.
Speaker 7: That looked like a ball that should have been caught.
Speaker 2: He said it should have been caught. And now hearing
Speaker 2: Nimo explain it, I mean he was absolutely just turned
Speaker 2: around and also talking, you know, hearing you talk about
Speaker 2: Freddy's swinging. Freddy's a guy that does not take away
Speaker 2: the outer half and just leaves it alone. He takes
Speaker 2: the outer half and does what he needs to do
Speaker 2: with it. In other words, he's not a guy with
Speaker 2: you know, the long arms. He's gonna have the outer
Speaker 2: half and just try to pull the ball. So with
Speaker 2: his swing, because he repeats it so often, Daves, he
Speaker 2: is able to create so much spin, not just backspin,
Speaker 2: but that slide that guys that play left field and
Speaker 2: that are guys that throw with the right hand have
Speaker 2: a tougher time catching the ball because if you're a
Speaker 2: guy that catches the ball with the left side with
Speaker 2: the right hand right you're a lefty thrower that slides
Speaker 2: is going to play a little bit better into your glove.
Speaker 2: But when you're right here to field the man, it
Speaker 2: is so tough to get a read the balls in
Speaker 2: the air and you go, Okay, he's got backsmen, so
Speaker 2: it's going to go back. And then the side effect
Speaker 2: is just the one that gets you there. But I
Speaker 2: don't think them will have an explanation about it. It's
Speaker 2: just the fact that when Freddie hits the ball that
Speaker 2: way with authority, you just never know what the ball
Speaker 2: is going to do, and it happens in the enfield.
Speaker 2: Look at how many balls Freddy Freeman has threw the
Speaker 2: box in Rice center field. They turned the doubles on
Speaker 2: the ground because he has the effect of ball getting
Speaker 2: away from the second basement because of the swing consistency.
Speaker 2: And it's something you can't teach, but if you practice it, well,
Speaker 2: let me tell you become not as good as Freddy Freeman,
Speaker 2: but you're gonna give yourself a lot of chances on
Speaker 2: guys missing balls Likenimo did tonight, and.
Speaker 7: To have that opportunity, Tanner Scott needed to deliver, and
Speaker 7: for the first time in what eight appearances, Tanner Scott
Speaker 7: did deliver. I know we talk about mechanics and all
Speaker 7: the pitching inside stuff, but how big of a confidence
Speaker 7: booster is that for Tanner Scott not only to give
Speaker 7: the Dodgers that opportunity by getting the Mets out in order,
Speaker 7: but the guys that he got out, Sodo, Alonso and Nimmo.
Speaker 2: Oh, you can't put a price on it. I mean there,
Speaker 2: you can't put a price on the tag on what
Speaker 2: he accomplished today to go through that part of the
Speaker 2: order to snap nap slider. He missing a couple up
Speaker 2: in the zone. But let me tell you something too
Speaker 2: that you were talking about this. When you come in
Speaker 2: into a game like this and guy like Soda sees
Speaker 2: that snapping slider that he's really going out there and ripping,
Speaker 2: then your swing has to change too. And you're thinking
Speaker 2: about catching up with a pitch that you saw break,
Speaker 2: you know, six inches more than you thought it was
Speaker 2: going to you know break, And before you know it,
Speaker 2: you catch yourself almost him like a backup slider, which
Speaker 2: is the worst pitch you can calculate because you don't
Speaker 2: know where I was going to go. So all that
Speaker 2: is a result of really driving through his legs, but
Speaker 2: getting on top of the ball. Number One, pitching with conviction,
Speaker 2: with confidence, and being able to finish off and double
Speaker 2: up and triple up on that slider. But there's no
Speaker 2: doubt he needed this. The Dodgers needed to see this,
Speaker 2: the Dodgers fans needed to see this because he is
Speaker 2: a valuable piece, and hopefully we're talking about just not
Speaker 2: being stubborn and staying where you're at. You got to
Speaker 2: make adjustments every year as you become successful, because the
Speaker 2: league makes adjustments. And I'm glad that you guys like
Speaker 2: Mark Pryor and Ken McGinnis in his ear to continue
Speaker 2: on doing it.
Speaker 7: The Dodgers come from behind and win this game six
Speaker 7: to five Jose and ten innings, but they came very
Speaker 7: close to losing this game. And I thought a key
Speaker 7: inning for the Dodgers was the eighth inning against one
Speaker 7: of the better Mets relievers in Reid Garrett. They got
Speaker 7: him early, so they had second and third and nobody out,
Speaker 7: and they didn't score a run because he was able
Speaker 7: to get back on track. But I really believe that
Speaker 7: the Dodgers could have tied this game in the eighth
Speaker 7: inning if Shoe a Otani gets a better read on
Speaker 7: that ball that Mookie Bets hit that was in no
Speaker 7: man's land. He was dancing halfway to second base and
Speaker 7: he could have scored on the wild pitch that got
Speaker 7: runners to second and third. What was going on with
Speaker 7: the reed there from Otani and of.
Speaker 2: The bat Molkie bets he's watching guyans centerfield name Tyrone
Speaker 2: taylorho seems to make every single play against the Dodgers
Speaker 2: and city feeling here and he went o very well. Also,
Speaker 2: then that we're an offense is not really clicking. You're
Speaker 2: more cautious. I'm making misticks on the bases, and yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean if he gets read, if he knows where
Speaker 2: the fields point, maybe he gets a third base. But
Speaker 2: in that case, I really have no issues on him
Speaker 2: playets safe right there, especially knowing that you got Freddy
Speaker 2: coming out in the oscar in that kind of situation.
Speaker 2: But if you have a lead right there, you might
Speaker 2: take a chance. But I think just getting closer second base,
Speaker 2: maybe a little closer second base would have been ideal.
Speaker 2: But then Taylor makes a catch, he doubles him up
Speaker 2: at first base, and that's another resson. But I'm just
Speaker 2: still had it worked out the way he did.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think so. But there were some things that
Speaker 7: Dodgers need to clean up. They were very fortunate to
Speaker 7: come from behind and beat the Mets tonight and base
Speaker 7: running and fielding and all that stuff.
Speaker 8: It matters, and I.
Speaker 7: Thought it was a little lackluster early in this game,
Speaker 7: and I thought that was.
Speaker 8: A key play, you know.
Speaker 2: And one thing too is beyond that play. The group
Speaker 2: on the rebai Otani is have you noticed that the
Speaker 2: pattern going now is a guy like Gil today early
Speaker 2: fastballs and then he got away from it and he
Speaker 2: pretty much is neutral. Lots of Dodgers goes on off
Speaker 2: speed breaking balls and makes us a goo level that cutter, Yeah,
Speaker 2: what hell? Comes in, same thing, the lefty, this guy
Speaker 2: had and pitching the biggest since twenty twenty one. Garrett
Speaker 2: comes in and he great stuff, but he goes, you
Speaker 2: know what, I gotta go and just go second therey
Speaker 2: pitches and third pitches. And it's a pattern because he
Speaker 2: saw what happened with the fastals against You know, guys
Speaker 2: that we're throwing the ball well right, and guys getting
Speaker 2: work from fastballs are an issue right now for the
Speaker 2: Dodgers wearing fact I mean collectively and you know, through
Speaker 2: the season, I've been one of the best teams to
Speaker 2: say any off speed and non fascles, but that's been
Speaker 2: a trend so far, and guys getting worth for their fastballs,
Speaker 2: and we're talking about a Mets team has obviously one
Speaker 2: of the best stats in baseball.
Speaker 7: All right, Hose, thanks for checking in. We'll talk to
Speaker 7: you tomorrow night. And the Mets and Dodgers have given
Speaker 7: us two really great games that ended in the ten thinning.
Speaker 7: Everybody goes home happy as the Dodgers beat the Mets
Speaker 7: six to five and ten.
Speaker 8: We'll talk to you tomorrow.
Speaker 2: Going a heater, now, going a heater.
Speaker 7: Okay, all right, I'll try to go on that heater, thanks, Ose.
Speaker 7: Like Max Munsey, he's on that heater right now.
Speaker 8: Yeah, you know.
Speaker 7: Tyler McGill was phenomenal. After giving up four runs in
Speaker 7: that first inning, he retired sixteen of the last seventeen
Speaker 7: Dodgers he faced, and he just shuffled the deck, like
Speaker 7: Jose Motis said, went away from that fastball, starting to
Speaker 7: mix in some other off speed pitches that kept them
Speaker 7: off balance, and he became more unpredictable than he was
Speaker 7: where he was just pumping fastballs in that first inning,
Speaker 7: and the Dodgers got him for four runs. Now, tomorrow night,
Speaker 7: the Dodgers will have Tony Gonsolin on the mound in
Speaker 7: Game three of this four game series. He's three and
Speaker 7: one this year with an ERA of five to twenty
Speaker 7: three going up against Griffin Canning out of UCLA. Canning
Speaker 7: is five and two with an ERA at three twenty three.
Speaker 7: The Mets have taught him this so called kick chain
Speaker 7: that really has helped his season, So the Dodgers will
Speaker 7: be prepared for that Morongo Casino. Dodgers on Deck begins
Speaker 7: at six o'clock tomorrow with first pitch from Dodgers Stadium
Speaker 7: at seven to ten with Rick Monday and Tim Nevertt
Speaker 7: on Sandykofa's Replica Jersey Night. So we'll see you out
Speaker 7: here at the stadium and it should be exciting as
Speaker 7: the first two games have given us everything that you
Speaker 7: would want in an NLCS rematch against the much improved
Speaker 7: New York Mets. Thanks to Colin Ye back at our
Speaker 7: Burbank studios, Thanks to Dwayne McDonald out here at Dodgers Stadium,
Speaker 7: and thanks for listening. You can find the show on
Speaker 7: the iHeartRadio app. We'll get the phones up and working
