WEBVTT 1 00:00:01.520 --> 00:00:06.480 One thing about this gene is the invisible and tangibles 2 00:00:06.480 --> 00:00:06.919 that they have. 3 00:00:07.160 --> 00:00:10.199 This team is really becoming a family. Let's not play 4 00:00:10.199 --> 00:00:11.720 one on Tom. Let's wind it. 5 00:00:11.919 --> 00:00:13.720 I love writing me these guys after the show. 6 00:00:13.800 --> 00:00:15.199 So just thank you, give me are. 7 00:00:15.160 --> 00:00:18.280 Your attention, your fire, and not a piss. This is 8 00:00:18.399 --> 00:00:21.519 world champion, Dodger, world champion thing. 9 00:00:21.719 --> 00:00:23.440 Put a small soft time they get up people what 10 00:00:23.559 --> 00:00:26.000 they want to die to in a row two is special. 11 00:00:26.039 --> 00:00:27.719 I'm like, yeah, it's not a headache. 12 00:00:28.640 --> 00:00:29.079 One of them. 13 00:00:29.160 --> 00:00:31.359 Con this ball's gone. 14 00:00:31.839 --> 00:00:34.840 You ready to go old time, go to the sound 15 00:00:35.200 --> 00:00:37.359 grab your phone to get in on the show called 16 00:00:37.439 --> 00:00:40.880 eight six six nine eighty seven two five seven. 17 00:00:40.359 --> 00:00:41.399 And go to the show. 18 00:00:41.759 --> 00:00:45.119 And now your host of Dodger Talk, David Basse. 19 00:00:46.600 --> 00:00:50.840 We are live at Dodger Stadium after the Yankees salvage 20 00:00:50.880 --> 00:00:53.640 the last game of the series this weekend in the 21 00:00:53.640 --> 00:00:57.640 World Series matchup, rematch, whatever you want to call it, 22 00:00:57.799 --> 00:01:00.560 seven to three, the final score tonight on Sunday Night 23 00:01:00.600 --> 00:01:04.480 Baseball at Dodgers Stadium in front of the largest crowd 24 00:01:04.519 --> 00:01:07.959 we have seen at Dodgers Stadium this season, their ninth 25 00:01:08.120 --> 00:01:11.920 sellout of the year, fifty four thousand and thirty one, 26 00:01:12.560 --> 00:01:16.439 and look, I hate to use that cliche, but it's baseball. 27 00:01:16.719 --> 00:01:19.120 Who would have thought the Dodgers would have been able 28 00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:22.319 to come back against Max Freed on Friday night? They 29 00:01:22.319 --> 00:01:25.159 were able to do that. Who thought the Dodgers would 30 00:01:25.159 --> 00:01:28.480 score eighteen runs yesterday coming into this series? 31 00:01:28.799 --> 00:01:29.359 Nobody. 32 00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:33.000 I felt like this was the game that the Dodgers 33 00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:36.920 were pretty much guaranteed to win with Yamamoto on the mound, 34 00:01:36.959 --> 00:01:40.920 and luckily for the Dodgers, they came back against Max 35 00:01:41.000 --> 00:01:44.879 Freed on Friday night because I felt like the momentum, 36 00:01:44.920 --> 00:01:49.120 the focus, the energy this stadium gave the Dodgers after 37 00:01:49.640 --> 00:01:54.159 kind of an average road trip really carried over into 38 00:01:54.280 --> 00:01:58.040 Saturday night's game. And if the Dodgers don't win that 39 00:01:58.159 --> 00:02:01.319 game on Friday. 40 00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:01.959 What are they doing yesterday? 41 00:02:02.079 --> 00:02:05.879 Okay, they win, let's say they beat Will Warren, which 42 00:02:05.920 --> 00:02:08.400 they probably would have. I felt like the offense was 43 00:02:08.439 --> 00:02:11.439 going to win yesterday's game like they did. You come 44 00:02:11.479 --> 00:02:15.759 into tonight's game and randomly Yamamoto doesn't have a feel 45 00:02:15.800 --> 00:02:19.439 for his split fingered fastball or curveball, and he pitches 46 00:02:19.520 --> 00:02:22.800 his shortest outing of the season and is his most 47 00:02:22.800 --> 00:02:27.159 ineffective of the entire season, And if you're wondering about 48 00:02:27.199 --> 00:02:31.599 any residual about the play at first base in Cleveland, 49 00:02:31.639 --> 00:02:33.759 where Dave Roberts said after the game he may have, 50 00:02:34.120 --> 00:02:37.240 you know, stretched out his hip flexer a little bit, 51 00:02:37.719 --> 00:02:39.960 that had nothing to do with it. I was assured 52 00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:42.960 of during the game tonight because I spoke to a 53 00:02:43.039 --> 00:02:46.120 Japanese media member who used to pitch in Japan is 54 00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:49.960 still very tight with Yamamoto. He told me that Yamamoto 55 00:02:50.080 --> 00:02:53.199 expressed to him yesterday that there was no issues with 56 00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:55.680 his hip. It was just one of those nights where 57 00:02:56.000 --> 00:02:59.280 he didn't have feel for his wipeout pitch, his split 58 00:02:59.319 --> 00:03:02.960 fingered fast or his curveball. Hard way to live and 59 00:03:03.159 --> 00:03:07.159 you'd rather have that happen on June first than October first, 60 00:03:07.479 --> 00:03:10.080 when the Dodgers are going to be in the postseason. 61 00:03:10.479 --> 00:03:14.919 Happens to everybody, and Yamamoto really relies on that split 62 00:03:14.919 --> 00:03:18.800 finger fastball. He's relied on that curveball a lot, and 63 00:03:18.879 --> 00:03:21.080 it just wasn't his night tonight. And that's why I 64 00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:24.639 go back to Friday night, how monumental of a win 65 00:03:24.759 --> 00:03:29.039 that was to come back against Max Freed and carry 66 00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:31.800 that over into last night's game, and take two out 67 00:03:31.800 --> 00:03:34.439 of three from the Yankees. The Dodgers have got to 68 00:03:34.479 --> 00:03:37.680 feel good about themselves about the way they played for 69 00:03:37.759 --> 00:03:41.479 the most part this weekend, despite the first couple of 70 00:03:41.479 --> 00:03:46.719 innings tonight not sharp defensively and he Pahz airmailing a 71 00:03:46.800 --> 00:03:50.439 throw from left field, Keik Hernandez not being able to 72 00:03:50.479 --> 00:03:53.719 hold onto the ball after Yamamoto did a great job 73 00:03:54.080 --> 00:03:58.080 of backing up that airmail throw by Pahz. Kik would 74 00:03:58.120 --> 00:04:00.879 have had that runner dead to right set second base, 75 00:04:00.960 --> 00:04:04.960 but the ball flipped out of his glove uncharacteristically, and 76 00:04:05.039 --> 00:04:08.319 Will Smith had a pass ball, there was a wild pitch. 77 00:04:08.639 --> 00:04:12.240 It just was sloppy the first three innings, along with 78 00:04:12.520 --> 00:04:15.919 compounded with the fact that Yamamoto just didn't have his 79 00:04:16.040 --> 00:04:19.120 best stuff tonight, and the Yankees are the best team 80 00:04:19.160 --> 00:04:22.279 in the American League, and hard to expect the Dodgers 81 00:04:22.319 --> 00:04:26.519 to sweep three games this series, taking two out of three. 82 00:04:26.560 --> 00:04:29.839 I think all of you would be very happy about that. 83 00:04:30.439 --> 00:04:33.439 Eight six six nine, eight seven two five seventies the 84 00:04:33.439 --> 00:04:36.839 phone number. Like I said, a couple of unusual things 85 00:04:37.480 --> 00:04:39.480 happened tonight that we haven't seen. 86 00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:40.279 All year long. 87 00:04:40.839 --> 00:04:44.839 Number one, Yamamoto and his shortest outing of the year, 88 00:04:45.560 --> 00:04:49.759 and also the Dodger offense, in particular, their first four 89 00:04:49.839 --> 00:04:53.519 hitters going hitless for the first time this season in 90 00:04:53.600 --> 00:04:57.560 the same game, even without Mookie Betts, you would expect 91 00:04:58.279 --> 00:05:01.360 Taoskar Hernandez at least to get a hit. He had 92 00:05:01.480 --> 00:05:04.720 owned Ryan Yarborough in thirty six at bats coming into 93 00:05:04.759 --> 00:05:09.160 the game tonight. That's baseball. He had hit seven home 94 00:05:09.240 --> 00:05:12.879 runs off a Yarborough in thirty six at bats tonight. 95 00:05:12.920 --> 00:05:16.399 Ta Oscar hitless as well. Freddie was really good the 96 00:05:16.439 --> 00:05:20.240 first two games of this series hitless. Will Smith one 97 00:05:20.279 --> 00:05:22.399 of the best hitters. I mean, you're looking at Freeman 98 00:05:22.480 --> 00:05:25.680 and Will Smith coming into the game tonight, a three 99 00:05:25.759 --> 00:05:28.560 seventy four hitter, the best in the National League and 100 00:05:28.639 --> 00:05:31.040 the second best hitter in the National League, Will Smith 101 00:05:31.120 --> 00:05:35.439 hitting three forty two hitless. So the first four hitters 102 00:05:35.480 --> 00:05:39.519 of the Dodger offense tonight a combined oh for sixteen. 103 00:05:40.040 --> 00:05:43.480 First time this year we have seen the first four 104 00:05:43.560 --> 00:05:47.759 hitters in the Dodger lineup go a combined over in 105 00:05:48.199 --> 00:05:51.240 the same game, OH for sixteen, oh for fourteen. Over 106 00:05:51.920 --> 00:05:56.519 In the first four batters in the same game, Freddie 107 00:05:56.519 --> 00:05:59.439 Freeman was tremendous in the first two games of this series, 108 00:05:59.560 --> 00:06:03.800 a combined five seven with three doubles, three run score 109 00:06:03.879 --> 00:06:07.920 two RBIs tremendous base running in the first two games, 110 00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:12.480 and he certainly has become public enemy Number one in 111 00:06:12.519 --> 00:06:16.480 the Bronx after beating the Yankees last year with that 112 00:06:16.639 --> 00:06:19.279 walk off grand slam here in Game one and winning 113 00:06:19.319 --> 00:06:24.079 the World Series MVP homering and for the first four 114 00:06:24.199 --> 00:06:27.600 consecutive games of the World Series last year. And that 115 00:06:27.800 --> 00:06:34.120 even caught the ire of former actor Nicholas to Turo, 116 00:06:34.279 --> 00:06:37.319 who is still an avid Yankee fan. He took to 117 00:06:37.439 --> 00:06:42.040 Instagram all week and long and frustration of the Yankees 118 00:06:42.120 --> 00:06:44.199 not being able to get Freddy Freeman out. 119 00:06:45.000 --> 00:06:47.920 Can anybody get Freddy freaking Freeman out? 120 00:06:49.120 --> 00:06:51.920 That was Nicholas to Turo, just a sample. Can we 121 00:06:51.959 --> 00:06:52.480 hear that again? 122 00:06:52.600 --> 00:06:55.680 Callin, get Freddy freaking Freeman out. 123 00:06:56.160 --> 00:06:59.639 Hey, when you're getting that from a New Yorker, I 124 00:06:59.680 --> 00:07:00.720 mean that that is special. 125 00:07:00.800 --> 00:07:01.519 Freddy Freeman. 126 00:07:01.560 --> 00:07:04.360 You've accomplished a lot of things, but now you're on 127 00:07:04.439 --> 00:07:07.759 New York's radar. Eight six six, nine eighty seven, two 128 00:07:07.800 --> 00:07:11.399 five seventy is the phone number. Let's head downstairs right 129 00:07:11.439 --> 00:07:14.839 now to the Yankee Clubhouse to hear from former Dodger 130 00:07:14.959 --> 00:07:19.240 Ryan Yarborough, who really had them tied up in knots today. 131 00:07:19.680 --> 00:07:22.040 Brian, you came back to Dodger Stadium kept one of 132 00:07:22.040 --> 00:07:24.319 the toughest lineups quiet and how were you able to 133 00:07:24.399 --> 00:07:24.639 do it? 134 00:07:24.879 --> 00:07:25.079 Yeah? 135 00:07:25.240 --> 00:07:27.720 I think we had a really good game plan between 136 00:07:27.759 --> 00:07:31.040 the coaching staff, me and Welsey, So just a matter 137 00:07:31.079 --> 00:07:34.639 of execution and you know, keeping them off balance and 138 00:07:34.680 --> 00:07:36.920 not putting them in counsel where they can really hunt 139 00:07:36.920 --> 00:07:39.279 for certain pitches. So I'd really just tried to tack 140 00:07:39.319 --> 00:07:42.439 the guys and say, had got seventeen swings and misses today, 141 00:07:42.600 --> 00:07:44.879 seven on the sweeper. When did you learn that was 142 00:07:44.920 --> 00:07:47.279 going to be an important pitch for you today? I 143 00:07:47.279 --> 00:07:48.720 think it was just part of the game plan, you know, 144 00:07:48.879 --> 00:07:50.639 like it was something about just really trying to like 145 00:07:50.920 --> 00:07:52.600 speed them up and then using it to slow them 146 00:07:52.600 --> 00:07:55.439 down keep them in between things. So it just really 147 00:07:55.480 --> 00:07:57.120 was effective, and you know when you saw that, it 148 00:07:57.319 --> 00:07:59.079 just really tried to continue to use it. 149 00:07:59.319 --> 00:08:01.920 You and yamam Ore obviously very different pitchers, but what 150 00:08:01.920 --> 00:08:04.120 do you enjoy about a matchup against a guy like that? 151 00:08:05.519 --> 00:08:07.519 I think it's just more cool, especially just from playing 152 00:08:07.519 --> 00:08:10.279 with them last year. But even like when I've faced 153 00:08:10.319 --> 00:08:12.360 gram earlier, it's more of a just kind of looking 154 00:08:12.560 --> 00:08:15.360 at it afterwards, but it's more about just like looking 155 00:08:15.439 --> 00:08:17.680 at their lineup and attacking that way. It's kind of 156 00:08:17.680 --> 00:08:19.639 just more kind of seeing who the matchup is. But 157 00:08:19.959 --> 00:08:21.920 it's more about just facing their lineup than the guy 158 00:08:21.959 --> 00:08:23.959 on the mound. Aaron had mentioned, you've made a couple 159 00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:25.879 of tweaks since you've gotten over here with the Yankees, 160 00:08:25.959 --> 00:08:30.319 just anything in particular that stands out that's really helped you. No, Like, 161 00:08:30.519 --> 00:08:32.399 it's been really more about just like really game planning 162 00:08:32.399 --> 00:08:34.919 and have an understanding of like how everything had works 163 00:08:34.960 --> 00:08:38.759 and moves. Maybe little tweaks like pitches, but nothing like 164 00:08:39.000 --> 00:08:43.039 super crazy, just really understanding how everything moves and the 165 00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:45.720 game planning and really utilizing my whole arsenal. 166 00:08:45.879 --> 00:08:48.879 There's were familiarity helped it all to being an ext 167 00:08:48.919 --> 00:08:51.080 dodge or knowing the players. 168 00:08:51.120 --> 00:08:53.000 I think it definitely can help just from seeing them 169 00:08:53.039 --> 00:08:56.639 on an everyday basis, But like I said, just really 170 00:08:56.679 --> 00:08:58.799 having a good game plan of like going into it. 171 00:08:58.840 --> 00:09:02.320 What they've done really well this this series, and I'm 172 00:09:02.399 --> 00:09:04.240 just trying to understanding of what I do well and 173 00:09:04.399 --> 00:09:06.480 keeping them off balanced. So that was the biggest thing. 174 00:09:06.600 --> 00:09:08.120 We think it means to get out of here with 175 00:09:08.159 --> 00:09:11.120 a win after two tough nights, to go home six 176 00:09:11.159 --> 00:09:12.679 and three road trip, as opposed. 177 00:09:12.399 --> 00:09:14.279 To yeah, I would have sweet one hundred percent. Now, 178 00:09:14.320 --> 00:09:16.080 I think it's always good, especially when you want to 179 00:09:16.159 --> 00:09:17.840 end on especially with this long of a flight and 180 00:09:18.600 --> 00:09:21.799 I don't know a good win, so it's always great. 181 00:09:21.840 --> 00:09:23.320 I think that was the biggest thing, is understanding. We 182 00:09:23.360 --> 00:09:24.960 had a hell of a road trip six and three, 183 00:09:25.000 --> 00:09:27.559 so especially this long of a West coast trip, so 184 00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:30.279 uh really excited about that, and you know you always 185 00:09:30.320 --> 00:09:31.039 want to end on a win. 186 00:09:32.679 --> 00:09:33.039 All right. 187 00:09:33.080 --> 00:09:36.960 There's Ryan Yarborough on Yes Network after tonight's win for 188 00:09:37.039 --> 00:09:37.679 the Yankees. 189 00:09:37.799 --> 00:09:38.919 Yarborough a good guy. 190 00:09:39.000 --> 00:09:41.879 I really enjoyed being around him with his time with 191 00:09:41.960 --> 00:09:44.279 the Dodgers, and he did everything they asked of him. 192 00:09:44.759 --> 00:09:48.879 Be a piggyback starter, be a three inning closer, be 193 00:09:48.960 --> 00:09:52.919 a starting pitcher. I mean, he was very flexible and versatile. 194 00:09:53.360 --> 00:09:55.759 And now he's on that five day routine, which I'm 195 00:09:55.799 --> 00:09:59.120 sure also has helped him. He's three and oer now 196 00:09:59.159 --> 00:10:01.840 this year with an era of two eighty three after 197 00:10:01.919 --> 00:10:05.120 going six innings tonight and allowing just a solo home 198 00:10:05.200 --> 00:10:09.960 run to Tommy Edman in the second inning tonight. Eight six, six, 199 00:10:10.080 --> 00:10:13.440 nine seven two five seventy is the phone number. Let's 200 00:10:13.440 --> 00:10:16.000 go out to your own. You're on Dodger Talk live 201 00:10:16.039 --> 00:10:17.000 from Dodger Stadium. 202 00:10:17.080 --> 00:10:19.720 Hi, your own, Hey, David. 203 00:10:19.799 --> 00:10:22.480 Good to be on the call as a Yankees fan. 204 00:10:22.559 --> 00:10:23.720 I was really happy to be there. 205 00:10:23.840 --> 00:10:27.440 My daughter is a Dodgers fan, so she wasn't as 206 00:10:27.440 --> 00:10:28.519 happy to be there today. 207 00:10:28.879 --> 00:10:30.600 But I was really just going to see if you had. 208 00:10:30.559 --> 00:10:32.159 A chance to read the Marvin Miller book. 209 00:10:33.200 --> 00:10:38.080 Hey, yourn, my guy from f forty five. I've dove 210 00:10:38.159 --> 00:10:41.440 into it. Hey, I'm glad you brought up Marvin Miller 211 00:10:41.519 --> 00:10:45.320 because Scott Boris obviously admires Marvin Miller. And how about 212 00:10:45.320 --> 00:10:48.200 Scott Boris making a play laid in the game on 213 00:10:48.279 --> 00:10:50.840 a foul ball that could have been his slide, his 214 00:10:50.919 --> 00:10:55.120 Milwaukee Slide moment. If he did not catch that cleanly. 215 00:10:56.639 --> 00:10:58.600 That was Yeah, I gotta return that book. 216 00:10:58.399 --> 00:10:59.000 To you your own. 217 00:10:59.360 --> 00:11:03.600 Marvin Miller a great man in uh in players labor relations. 218 00:11:03.600 --> 00:11:07.039 But yeah, definitely, and I'm glad you got to see uh. 219 00:11:07.360 --> 00:11:10.639 You know, just a token Yankees win tonight because it's 220 00:11:10.639 --> 00:11:11.879 been a while here in LA. 221 00:11:13.600 --> 00:11:16.559 It has been a while, and uh, I had no 222 00:11:16.720 --> 00:11:18.559 hope going into today's game. 223 00:11:19.240 --> 00:11:21.799 So I'm I'm very relieved to. 224 00:11:21.759 --> 00:11:24.200 Know that we actually can win at least one game 225 00:11:24.200 --> 00:11:26.080 against the Dodgers. 226 00:11:26.600 --> 00:11:28.200 All right, Well, thanks for the phone call. 227 00:11:28.639 --> 00:11:30.960 That phone call does not upset me or any other 228 00:11:31.039 --> 00:11:34.039 Dodger fan for a while. Eight sixty six nine eighty 229 00:11:34.080 --> 00:11:36.720 seven two five seventy is the phone number. And I'm 230 00:11:36.720 --> 00:11:39.759 a firm believer that if the Yankees and Dodgers saw 231 00:11:39.799 --> 00:11:42.960 each other again this year in the Fall Classic, I 232 00:11:43.000 --> 00:11:46.200 still believe the Dodgers are living rent free in their heads. 233 00:11:46.240 --> 00:11:49.120 I mean, listen to Nicholas to Touro, a Yankee fan, 234 00:11:49.200 --> 00:11:51.799 this is what Yankee fans are thinking about. 235 00:11:51.840 --> 00:11:52.840 Twenty four to seven. 236 00:11:53.080 --> 00:11:58.720 Can anybody get Freddy freaking Freeman out? Can anybody Freddy 237 00:11:58.840 --> 00:11:59.919 freaking Freeman out? 238 00:12:00.960 --> 00:12:04.000 No, the Yankees cannot get Freddy Freeman out. The only 239 00:12:04.000 --> 00:12:06.960 guy that could get him out was Ryan Yarborough. Tonight 240 00:12:07.360 --> 00:12:10.159 eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy is 241 00:12:10.159 --> 00:12:12.840 the phone number. Jose Mota is gonna join us here 242 00:12:12.840 --> 00:12:14.919 in five minutes, but I want you to keep in 243 00:12:14.960 --> 00:12:19.840 mind how thin the Dodger bullpen is, especially right handed relievers. 244 00:12:20.279 --> 00:12:23.840 The Dodgers closed out this game, albeit behind, and you 245 00:12:23.879 --> 00:12:26.840 can't use the high leverage guys when you're behind and 246 00:12:26.879 --> 00:12:29.960 when you're ahead, despite what you believe, but they had 247 00:12:30.080 --> 00:12:34.080 journeyman relievers out on the mound tonight against the Yankees 248 00:12:34.159 --> 00:12:37.519 on Sunday Night Baseball because of so many injuries to 249 00:12:37.600 --> 00:12:43.519 their bullpen. Lou Trevino, Noah Davis, Chris Stratton, those were 250 00:12:43.519 --> 00:12:45.679 the names that were on the mound for the Dodgers 251 00:12:45.679 --> 00:12:48.559 to close out this game. Because of the number of 252 00:12:48.639 --> 00:12:52.720 injuries the Dodgers have sustained to their bullpen. People just 253 00:12:52.799 --> 00:12:55.559 want to lump in how many pitchers are on the 254 00:12:55.679 --> 00:12:57.960 il for the Dodgers. Well, some of those guys were 255 00:12:58.000 --> 00:13:01.480 hurt last year. That's a little leading and a lot 256 00:13:01.519 --> 00:13:05.399 of those guys are young starting pitchers and obviously they matter. 257 00:13:05.879 --> 00:13:07.639 But in the here and now, when it comes to 258 00:13:07.720 --> 00:13:12.440 the Dodger bullpen specifically, they are very thin. And that's 259 00:13:12.519 --> 00:13:15.720 part of the reason why Andrew Frieman pulled the trigger 260 00:13:16.200 --> 00:13:19.600 on a by low trade for former All Star Alexis Dias, 261 00:13:19.679 --> 00:13:22.639 who is working with the Dodgers at Camel Back Ranch 262 00:13:22.720 --> 00:13:26.120 to get his delivery straight and hopefully come back to 263 00:13:26.240 --> 00:13:29.559 form where he was with thirty eight saves last year. 264 00:13:29.639 --> 00:13:32.519 But you look at the Dodger bullpen. They're going to 265 00:13:32.559 --> 00:13:34.799 be without Evan Phillips the rest of the year with 266 00:13:34.879 --> 00:13:38.759 Tommy John surgery. Are they going to get Blake Trenning back. 267 00:13:39.080 --> 00:13:42.679 He's out with the right shoulder injury until maybe August September. 268 00:13:43.279 --> 00:13:47.000 They lost Luis Garcia today with a right adductor strain. 269 00:13:47.440 --> 00:13:50.960 Garcias pitched in half of the Dodger games this year, 270 00:13:51.000 --> 00:13:53.639 and he's thirty eight years old. You can understand why 271 00:13:54.039 --> 00:13:57.279 he has a right adductor strain. Kirby Yates is on 272 00:13:57.360 --> 00:14:01.360 the il with a right hamstring injury. Guardo Enriquez has 273 00:14:01.399 --> 00:14:05.919 a mysterious broken left foot. He actually pitched today for 274 00:14:06.000 --> 00:14:10.519 Oklahoma City. So did Michael Kopek and his ninth appearance 275 00:14:10.639 --> 00:14:15.600 rehab appearance. You would imagine nine rehab appearances. You're good 276 00:14:15.639 --> 00:14:18.919 to go, especially when the Dodgers need you. So I 277 00:14:18.919 --> 00:14:21.799 would expect Michael Kopek to be back during the Mets 278 00:14:21.799 --> 00:14:26.720 series and sooner rather than later, hopefully on Tuesday, because 279 00:14:26.759 --> 00:14:29.480 he pitched today. They're not going to activate him tomorrow. 280 00:14:29.879 --> 00:14:34.240 Bruce dar Gradral had off season shoulders surgery. So that's 281 00:14:34.320 --> 00:14:39.399 who's missing for the Dodgers in their bullpen. Just remember that. Also, 282 00:14:39.679 --> 00:14:41.480 just want to give you an update on another one 283 00:14:41.519 --> 00:14:45.480 of those starting pitchers that had Tommy John surgery last year. 284 00:14:45.919 --> 00:14:49.919 Emmett Shechan had his first outing with the OKC comments 285 00:14:49.960 --> 00:14:53.960 tonight and he was fantastic. In three innings of work. 286 00:14:54.039 --> 00:14:56.440 He did not give up a run, allowed just two hits, 287 00:14:56.759 --> 00:15:00.840 had five strikeouts, and retire the first eight batters. He 288 00:15:00.840 --> 00:15:03.440 he should be returning after the All Star break and 289 00:15:03.480 --> 00:15:05.960 be a weapon for the Dodgers, either out of the 290 00:15:06.000 --> 00:15:09.320 bullpen or in the starting rotation. We're gonna take a 291 00:15:09.360 --> 00:15:11.399 time out here on Dodger Talk when we come back. 292 00:15:11.440 --> 00:15:13.879 More of your phone calls at eight sixty six nine 293 00:15:13.919 --> 00:15:16.639 eight seven two five seventy and we'll check in with 294 00:15:16.720 --> 00:15:20.360 Jose Mota after the Yankees salvage the final game of 295 00:15:20.440 --> 00:15:24.000 the series seven to three winners over the Dodgers on 296 00:15:24.120 --> 00:15:25.840 a five to seventy LA Sports. 297 00:15:30.120 --> 00:15:33.360 Dodger Talk is available on AM five seventy, LA, sports 298 00:15:33.360 --> 00:15:37.360 dot com, hand on the iHeartRadio app. Back to more 299 00:15:37.519 --> 00:15:40.919 Dodger Talk with Dodger insider David Basse. 300 00:15:41.440 --> 00:15:43.919 He is one for three.

He's going deepen back to 305 00:15:58.120 --> 00:16:03.039 back games.

Daniels Jewelers own the dream. All right, let's 319 00:16:48.879 --> 00:16:50.559 go out to our guy, Jose Moda. 320 00:16:51.159 --> 00:16:55.039 It's time to go around the horn with Jose Mota. 321 00:16:56.480 --> 00:16:59.480 All right, Jose Mota feels like we're all at peace 322 00:16:59.720 --> 00:17:02.279 with away. Things went tonight. Not much you can do 323 00:17:02.799 --> 00:17:06.440 when Yamamoto on characteristically doesn't have a feel for his 324 00:17:06.559 --> 00:17:07.359 money pitches. 325 00:17:08.559 --> 00:17:12.240 Yeah, it was very obvious that something was not a 326 00:17:12.279 --> 00:17:14.400 line right with him. David, there's no doubt about it. 327 00:17:14.880 --> 00:17:17.079 I know you mentioned the fact that you got clearance 328 00:17:17.119 --> 00:17:19.039 that it was not about the hit, but something just 329 00:17:19.079 --> 00:17:21.240 didn't seem right. When you have a guy that comes 330 00:17:21.240 --> 00:17:23.480 into the man who was seventy five strikeouts and sixty 331 00:17:23.480 --> 00:17:26.640 four innings and it takes him sixteen batters to get 332 00:17:26.680 --> 00:17:29.720 the first strikeout, to me, something's not right. And the 333 00:17:29.759 --> 00:17:32.000 one thing to me was actually, as I made my 334 00:17:32.079 --> 00:17:35.000 nose in the first inning, he had very poor armside 335 00:17:35.039 --> 00:17:37.680 command and he needs his sinker, He needs to force 336 00:17:37.799 --> 00:17:41.039 Himan to run in, he needs the curvebo to land 337 00:17:41.119 --> 00:17:43.039 in different spots, and today he just didn't have it. 338 00:17:43.079 --> 00:17:46.079 So you know, it's one of those days, very incorrect 339 00:17:46.079 --> 00:17:48.160 circuit for him. When he watched people and they scored 340 00:17:48.200 --> 00:17:50.359 and talked about walks. I mean four of those seven 341 00:17:50.400 --> 00:17:53.480 walks turned into runs for the Dodgers overall. So not 342 00:17:53.559 --> 00:17:55.400 a good combination when it comes down to the pitching 343 00:17:55.400 --> 00:17:57.480 and the way that y'all broke through the vegic ball 344 00:17:57.480 --> 00:17:57.960 game today. 345 00:17:58.720 --> 00:18:00.759 All right, even with all that he said in the 346 00:18:00.759 --> 00:18:03.519 first inning, Yamamoto could have got out of it with 347 00:18:03.640 --> 00:18:07.160 not as much damage. After Andy Pa has airmailed that 348 00:18:07.319 --> 00:18:10.559 throw from left field A and then b Key k 349 00:18:10.680 --> 00:18:13.640 Hernandez could not come up with the final out in 350 00:18:13.720 --> 00:18:17.839 that first inning after Yamamoto was phenomenal backing up the throw, 351 00:18:18.240 --> 00:18:21.359 how much did that change the way things went in 352 00:18:21.440 --> 00:18:24.200 this game? And Andy Pai has been thrown out in 353 00:18:24.279 --> 00:18:26.559 the second inning before Edmund's home run. 354 00:18:28.000 --> 00:18:29.960 Yeah, for Yamamoto, I went back and looked that cost 355 00:18:30.000 --> 00:18:33.359 him eight extra pitches six seven on Volpion then one 356 00:18:33.400 --> 00:18:37.400 on Austin Wells. You just never know if those pitches 357 00:18:37.559 --> 00:18:41.799 were crucial and not enforcing issues that he just didn't have. 358 00:18:42.319 --> 00:18:45.119 The one thing that Yoshi does so well is if 359 00:18:45.119 --> 00:18:46.680 something is not working, he's not gonna go out there 360 00:18:46.640 --> 00:18:49.039 and just make it work just because yes, he's not 361 00:18:49.079 --> 00:18:51.640 gonna throw splitters just because he gotta throw splitters. He's 362 00:18:51.680 --> 00:18:54.000 got to set everything up by his fastball. Also, as 363 00:18:54.000 --> 00:18:56.960 you mentioned defensively, Dave, those were plays that the Dodgers 364 00:18:57.000 --> 00:18:59.039 know that they need to clean up and be better about. 365 00:18:59.359 --> 00:19:02.119 Oti pay We know has a reputation now all around 366 00:19:02.160 --> 00:19:04.480 the league and around baseball to be a stopper. He 367 00:19:04.559 --> 00:19:07.640 will stop the base running in the aggressiveness from base runners. 368 00:19:07.640 --> 00:19:09.440 But now he can tun it down a little bit 369 00:19:09.480 --> 00:19:12.119 more and just know that you still got to think 370 00:19:12.160 --> 00:19:14.480 about a cutoff man. You can still get people out 371 00:19:14.519 --> 00:19:16.119 by throwing the one hop of the home plate or 372 00:19:16.160 --> 00:19:19.240 second base, the third base, that doesn't matter. But Yamamoto, 373 00:19:19.240 --> 00:19:21.319 as he mentioned it, the right thing, which is something 374 00:19:21.680 --> 00:19:24.039 a lot of pitchers are not doing nowadays, backing up 375 00:19:24.200 --> 00:19:27.160 basis and he had every single chance to throw him out. 376 00:19:27.160 --> 00:19:29.640 He actually took his time because near the umpire Chris 377 00:19:29.640 --> 00:19:31.640 Conroy to get out of the way, and you still 378 00:19:31.680 --> 00:19:34.000 threw a bullet down to Kiki Whu misplayed the ball 379 00:19:34.240 --> 00:19:36.079 and it was pretty much one of those days. 380 00:19:36.759 --> 00:19:40.480 Almost as shocking as Yamamoto not having his stuff. Tonight 381 00:19:40.680 --> 00:19:44.119 was the first four hitters going hitless for the first 382 00:19:44.160 --> 00:19:47.759 time this season. What was Ryan Yarborough doing so well? 383 00:19:48.160 --> 00:19:50.359 We had heard about his change up, but it wasn't 384 00:19:50.359 --> 00:19:51.400 the change up tonight. 385 00:19:52.200 --> 00:19:54.480 You know, I spoke with Aaron Boone today before the 386 00:19:54.480 --> 00:19:56.039 game and he told me there's some things that we 387 00:19:56.160 --> 00:19:58.960 found in him that he's going to be implementing. And 388 00:19:59.000 --> 00:20:02.680 one thing that the interview that yarbro down played David 389 00:20:02.759 --> 00:20:05.359 is he pays a lot of attention to details. He 390 00:20:05.720 --> 00:20:09.480 needs to be on spot. He knows this lineup so well, 391 00:20:09.559 --> 00:20:12.319 so he knew exactly how to expand show hate first 392 00:20:12.359 --> 00:20:15.119 inning big swings, and it seems like the slow to 393 00:20:15.200 --> 00:20:17.000 throw the show had the bigger the swings get He 394 00:20:17.039 --> 00:20:19.839 played right into that. Also, he talked about one thing, 395 00:20:20.799 --> 00:20:22.960 guys like Tascar, guys like Freddy, you want to speed 396 00:20:23.000 --> 00:20:24.559 him up. You want to speed him up because big 397 00:20:24.559 --> 00:20:27.039 about what the Dodgers did to you know, heartthrow in 398 00:20:27.119 --> 00:20:29.359 ninety seven to ninety at Max Free They sped up. 399 00:20:29.359 --> 00:20:31.200 But he doesn't slow him down because he had no 400 00:20:31.200 --> 00:20:34.240 come out of the breaking balls. Today. Different story. You 401 00:20:34.279 --> 00:20:36.000
