1
00:00:01.480 --> 00:00:06.440
<v Speaker 1>One thing about this team is the invisible and tangibles

2
00:00:06.440 --> 00:00:06.879
<v Speaker 1>that they have.

3
00:00:07.120 --> 00:00:10.160
<v Speaker 2>This team is really becoming a family. Let's not play

4
00:00:10.199 --> 00:00:11.679
<v Speaker 2>one on Tom. Let's wind it.

5
00:00:11.880 --> 00:00:13.679

8
00:00:21.920 --> 00:00:23.839
<v Speaker 5>Small soft time they get at people what they want

9
00:00:23.879 --> 00:00:25.920
<v Speaker 5>to die to in a row two is special.

10

17
00:00:42.479 --> 00:00:45.200
<v Speaker 4>host of Dodger Talk, Tim Kaks.

18
00:00:46.039 --> 00:00:49.039
<v Speaker 5>Well, say goodbye to the Chicago Cubs from the remainder

19
00:00:49.119 --> 00:00:52.359
<v Speaker 5>of the season. The Dodgers are done with the Cubbies.

20
00:00:52.880 --> 00:00:56.000
<v Speaker 5>After twenty five games to the season. They have now

21
00:00:56.079 --> 00:00:57.560
<v Speaker 5>faced them seven times.

22
00:00:58.159 --> 00:00:58.679
<v Speaker 2>That is it.

23
00:00:59.039 --> 00:01:01.200
<v Speaker 5>The Dodgers in Cubby will not see each other the

24
00:01:01.280 --> 00:01:05.000
<v Speaker 5>remainder of the regular season. But who knows, maybe these

25
00:01:05.079 --> 00:01:08.400
<v Speaker 5>Dodgers and Cubs will meet up somewhere in the postseason.

26
00:01:08.480 --> 00:01:11.200
<v Speaker 5>Hi everybody, and welcome to postgame Dodger talk here on

27
00:01:11.239 --> 00:01:13.599
<v Speaker 5>a five to seventy LA Sports thinks you being with

28
00:01:13.719 --> 00:01:16.040
<v Speaker 5>us on this Wednesday night. Eight six six nine eighty

29
00:01:16.079 --> 00:01:19.040
<v Speaker 5>seven two five seventy is the number. Eight six six

30
00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:22.280
<v Speaker 5>nine eight seven two five seventy. Got a couple lines

31
00:01:22.319 --> 00:01:24.640
<v Speaker 5>open if you want to jump on board. Certainly a

32
00:01:24.799 --> 00:01:30.120
<v Speaker 5>disappointing series for the Dodgers in Chicago last night, losing

33
00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:34.280
<v Speaker 5>the leads, going back and forth, exchanging runs with the Cubbies,

34
00:01:34.319 --> 00:01:37.840
<v Speaker 5>and then losing in extra innings to Chicago Tonight, the

35
00:01:37.959 --> 00:01:40.599
<v Speaker 5>Dodgers jumped out to a turn two nine in the lead,

36
00:01:40.959 --> 00:01:43.439
<v Speaker 5>gave up the lead, only to see the Dodgers offense

37
00:01:43.799 --> 00:01:45.719
<v Speaker 5>regive them a two run lead in the top half

38
00:01:45.760 --> 00:01:48.159
<v Speaker 5>of the fifth inning, only to see then Jack Dreyer

39
00:01:48.599 --> 00:01:51.359
<v Speaker 5>give up four runs in the bottom half of the

40
00:01:51.480 --> 00:01:53.760
<v Speaker 5>fifth inning as the Cubs come back and win it

41
00:01:53.920 --> 00:01:54.799
<v Speaker 5>seven to six.

42
00:01:55.200 --> 00:01:55.560
<v Speaker 6>Tonight.

43
00:01:55.640 --> 00:01:58.359
<v Speaker 5>A bullpen game for the Dodgers, and we're used to

44
00:01:58.439 --> 00:02:01.400
<v Speaker 5>bullpen games. We saw the postseason, we saw him in

45
00:02:01.439 --> 00:02:04.879
<v Speaker 5>the World Series, and what we saw in October last

46
00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:09.199
<v Speaker 5>year was a bullpen pasted the baton to one another,

47
00:02:09.719 --> 00:02:13.080
<v Speaker 5>put up zeros and let their offense go to work.

48
00:02:13.159 --> 00:02:16.120
<v Speaker 6>And win baseball games. That was a recipe for.

49
00:02:16.280 --> 00:02:21.639
<v Speaker 5>Success in twenty twenty four many times, including in October.

50
00:02:22.360 --> 00:02:25.919
<v Speaker 5>But tonight one of those examples of a Dodger bullpen.

51
00:02:26.120 --> 00:02:28.560
<v Speaker 5>I think that is starting to rack up a lot

52
00:02:28.639 --> 00:02:33.000
<v Speaker 5>of miles on these arms. Now, twenty five games into

53
00:02:33.120 --> 00:02:37.560
<v Speaker 5>this regular season. Ben Casparius, who's a former starter in

54
00:02:37.639 --> 00:02:41.800
<v Speaker 5>the minor leagues just a year ago, went forty pitches tonight,

55
00:02:42.080 --> 00:02:45.120
<v Speaker 5>two and two thirds, probably right around where his cap

56
00:02:45.400 --> 00:02:48.080
<v Speaker 5>was as a long reliever for this Dodgers team at

57
00:02:48.120 --> 00:02:50.919
<v Speaker 5>the big leagues. But he's a starter, not built up,

58
00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:53.560
<v Speaker 5>not used to going more than forty forty five to

59
00:02:53.599 --> 00:02:56.400
<v Speaker 5>fifty pitches. Dave Roberts pulled him in the thirty and

60
00:02:56.599 --> 00:03:00.599
<v Speaker 5>with two outs and the Dodgers on top three two

61
00:03:00.599 --> 00:03:04.560
<v Speaker 5>to nothing. It would then take the Dodgers' bullpen to

62
00:03:05.080 --> 00:03:08.400
<v Speaker 5>pass that baton and keep the lead and keep the

63
00:03:08.639 --> 00:03:11.840
<v Speaker 5>highest scoring offense in the Chicago Cubs off the board.

64
00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:14.639
<v Speaker 5>Anthony Bonda did it for two thirds of an inning.

65
00:03:14.759 --> 00:03:17.960
<v Speaker 5>Noah Davis came in and had a rough outing, give

66
00:03:18.080 --> 00:03:20.560
<v Speaker 5>up a three run home run to Pete Crow Armstrong,

67
00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:24.080
<v Speaker 5>who continues to haunt the Dodgers, and it's really a

68
00:03:24.400 --> 00:03:26.919
<v Speaker 5>Dodger team that he's getting after. Since becoming a big

69
00:03:27.000 --> 00:03:30.120
<v Speaker 5>leaguer two years ago, Pete Crow Armstrong at a Harvard

70
00:03:30.159 --> 00:03:33.240
<v Speaker 5>Westlake High School doesn't have more than two home runs

71
00:03:33.280 --> 00:03:38.000
<v Speaker 5>against any team in baseball except for the Dodgers. He

72
00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:42.439
<v Speaker 5>has four home runs in now ten games against the Dodgers,

73
00:03:42.520 --> 00:03:47.360
<v Speaker 5>his hometown team. That aside, the Dodgers' bullpen had to

74
00:03:47.400 --> 00:03:50.599
<v Speaker 5>put up zeros after the mistakes by Noah Davis. And certainly,

75
00:03:50.879 --> 00:03:53.159
<v Speaker 5>when you give up four runs like Jack Dryer did

76
00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:55.800
<v Speaker 5>and you're down seven to five, you're putting yourself in

77
00:03:55.840 --> 00:03:59.120
<v Speaker 5>a tough situation. The credit to Kirby Yates, Evan Phillips,

78
00:03:59.319 --> 00:04:00.680
<v Speaker 5>Luis Garcia, who got out of.

79
00:04:00.639 --> 00:04:02.080
<v Speaker 6>A jam thanks to a double playball.

80
00:04:02.599 --> 00:04:07.039
<v Speaker 5>The Dodgers' bullpen put up zeros after Jack Dryer's fifth inning,

81
00:04:07.919 --> 00:04:11.520
<v Speaker 5>except the damage was done and the Dodgers' offense outside

82
00:04:11.560 --> 00:04:13.120
<v Speaker 5>of the Andy Pot has home run to make a

83
00:04:13.240 --> 00:04:16.040
<v Speaker 5>one run game couldn't muster up much the rest of

84
00:04:16.120 --> 00:04:22.360
<v Speaker 5>the way. One positive Mookie Bets tonight. Mooki Betts hopefully

85
00:04:22.399 --> 00:04:24.680
<v Speaker 5>had one of those games that gets him back on track.

86
00:04:25.160 --> 00:04:28.519
<v Speaker 5>Mookie Bets three for five tonight with an RBI. He

87
00:04:28.639 --> 00:04:32.839
<v Speaker 5>had been really in a funk offensively the last eight games,

88
00:04:33.519 --> 00:04:37.560
<v Speaker 5>so good to see Mookie Betts hopefully turn the page

89
00:04:38.160 --> 00:04:41.240
<v Speaker 5>from whatever he was in again tonight three for five

90
00:04:41.839 --> 00:04:45.040
<v Speaker 5>with an extra base hit. Maybe he starts heating up

91
00:04:45.560 --> 00:04:50.519
<v Speaker 5>for show Heyotani. That dad strength hasn't shown yet. Since

92
00:04:50.560 --> 00:04:55.040
<v Speaker 5>coming off the paternity list. Shoe Heotani has struggled at

93
00:04:55.079 --> 00:04:59.560
<v Speaker 5>the plate in three games since returning, one for eleven,

94
00:05:00.199 --> 00:05:04.680
<v Speaker 5>no extra base hits, five strikeouts, and he's walked twice.

95
00:05:04.720 --> 00:05:08.839
<v Speaker 5>And tonight, Shoeyotani came up with a golden opportunity to

96
00:05:08.959 --> 00:05:11.319
<v Speaker 5>help out the Dodgers down seven to six in the

97
00:05:11.399 --> 00:05:14.519
<v Speaker 5>sixth inning. Andy pot Has had already homered. Dodgers had

98
00:05:14.600 --> 00:05:18.560
<v Speaker 5>two to on two out, runners on second and third,

99
00:05:18.600 --> 00:05:22.519
<v Speaker 5>and showy Otani popped out to shortstop. Well, the table

100
00:05:22.639 --> 00:05:25.199
<v Speaker 5>was set for him, but he couldn't deliver. I mean,

101
00:05:25.279 --> 00:05:27.360
<v Speaker 5>how many times in the first twenty two games of

102
00:05:27.399 --> 00:05:30.759
<v Speaker 5>this season have we heard, well, Shoeyotani's not getting up

103
00:05:30.839 --> 00:05:33.439
<v Speaker 5>enough with runners in scoring position. The guys in front

104
00:05:33.480 --> 00:05:36.920
<v Speaker 5>of Shoeyotani are not putting him in position to drive

105
00:05:37.000 --> 00:05:41.399
<v Speaker 5>in runs. Tonight an example of that they did and

106
00:05:41.560 --> 00:05:45.000
<v Speaker 5>he could not deliver eight six six nine eight seven

107
00:05:45.120 --> 00:05:50.680
<v Speaker 5>two five seventy. The Dodgers pitching tonight backfired. And what

108
00:05:50.920 --> 00:05:53.240
<v Speaker 5>was a bullpen game and all it takes is one

109
00:05:53.319 --> 00:05:56.040
<v Speaker 5>bad inning tonight, it was two bad innings for the

110
00:05:56.160 --> 00:06:00.600
<v Speaker 5>Dodgers that really did them in. Yet they kept they

111
00:06:00.680 --> 00:06:04.079
<v Speaker 5>kept scratching, they kept clawing. When you've got an offense,

112
00:06:04.079 --> 00:06:09.439
<v Speaker 5>fight the Dodgers that in two games scored sixteen runs

113
00:06:10.720 --> 00:06:13.680
<v Speaker 5>against the Cubbies. You should at least win one of

114
00:06:13.759 --> 00:06:17.160
<v Speaker 5>those games. Right, it's an average of eight runs per game.

115
00:06:17.800 --> 00:06:21.040
<v Speaker 5>They had ten last night, they had six tonight. Unfortunately,

116
00:06:21.120 --> 00:06:24.839
<v Speaker 5>the Dodger pitching let them down last night, and Dodger

117
00:06:24.959 --> 00:06:28.920
<v Speaker 5>pitching let him again down tonight eight sixty six nine

118
00:06:29.000 --> 00:06:32.279
<v Speaker 5>eighty seven two five seventy. And before you jump on

119
00:06:32.439 --> 00:06:37.920
<v Speaker 5>Max Munsey and his struggles, the struggles are real. The

120
00:06:38.000 --> 00:06:41.199
<v Speaker 5>struggles are real for Max Munsey tonight didn't get the start.

121
00:06:41.319 --> 00:06:44.600
<v Speaker 5>Miguel ro hosted zero for one tonight, coming off the.

122
00:06:44.600 --> 00:06:46.079
<v Speaker 6>Bench as a pinch hit or late in the game.

123
00:06:46.480 --> 00:06:47.759
<v Speaker 6>And what did he do with that one at bat?

124
00:06:48.279 --> 00:06:50.879
<v Speaker 5>He struck out Now hitting one to seventy eight on

125
00:06:50.959 --> 00:06:54.040
<v Speaker 5>the season, slugging two forty seven and Max Munsey now

126
00:06:54.480 --> 00:06:58.399
<v Speaker 5>still with as many home runs as me in twenty

127
00:06:58.480 --> 00:07:03.480
<v Speaker 5>twenty five, zero and only four runs batted in for

128
00:07:03.639 --> 00:07:08.160
<v Speaker 5>Max Munsey, So I know he is struggling, and Dodger

129
00:07:08.240 --> 00:07:11.439
<v Speaker 5>fans want to pile on Max Munsey, but it is

130
00:07:11.560 --> 00:07:14.639
<v Speaker 5>not a one man blame game here for the Dodgers'

131
00:07:14.800 --> 00:07:21.160
<v Speaker 5>inability to win the last two games in Chicago, pitching, defense,

132
00:07:22.360 --> 00:07:26.839
<v Speaker 5>base running, just little things add up. They extend innings,

133
00:07:27.519 --> 00:07:29.560
<v Speaker 5>They give an extra out to a Cups team that

134
00:07:29.759 --> 00:07:35.439
<v Speaker 5>doesn't need an extra out. Tonight, the Dodger pitchers combined.

135
00:07:35.319 --> 00:07:38.759
<v Speaker 6>For seven walks, seven.

136
00:07:40.000 --> 00:07:46.199
<v Speaker 5>Seven free passes to Chicago Cups players, which led to

137
00:07:46.279 --> 00:07:48.399
<v Speaker 5>Pete crow Armstrong still in a base late when he

138
00:07:48.519 --> 00:07:55.879
<v Speaker 5>walked five stolen bases tonight. Makee that with two, three, four, Yeah,

139
00:07:55.959 --> 00:07:59.879
<v Speaker 5>five stolen bases for the Cubbies tonight against Dodger pitching.

140
00:08:00.639 --> 00:08:06.480
<v Speaker 5>Five stolen bases, defense pitching, and you got an offense

141
00:08:06.519 --> 00:08:08.279
<v Speaker 5>in the Cubbies that can score runs and they can

142
00:08:08.319 --> 00:08:12.360
<v Speaker 5>swing it. That's not a recipe for success with the Dodgers,

143
00:08:12.439 --> 00:08:16.079
<v Speaker 5>and they tonight saw a Cubs team come back down

144
00:08:16.160 --> 00:08:19.079
<v Speaker 5>twice by two runs, take the lead, hang on to

145
00:08:19.120 --> 00:08:22.360
<v Speaker 5>the lead and win the series of the season four

146
00:08:22.439 --> 00:08:25.600
<v Speaker 5>games to three. Dodgers and Cubs will not see each

147
00:08:25.600 --> 00:08:28.439
<v Speaker 5>other again the rest of the regular season. Kind of weird, right,

148
00:08:29.279 --> 00:08:32.639
<v Speaker 5>the whole Tokyo two game series, the Dodgers playing the

149
00:08:32.679 --> 00:08:35.120
<v Speaker 5>Cubs early at Dodgers Stadium here in April, and then

150
00:08:35.240 --> 00:08:38.120
<v Speaker 5>the two games in Chicago to make up for the

151
00:08:38.159 --> 00:08:42.039
<v Speaker 5>two games in Tokyo. That's it because of the even

152
00:08:42.159 --> 00:08:46.000
<v Speaker 5>schedule across the board. Now in baseball, you only get

153
00:08:46.080 --> 00:08:48.879
<v Speaker 5>seven games against teams not in your division, and so

154
00:08:49.000 --> 00:08:51.600
<v Speaker 5>the Dodgers and Cubs won't play each other in the

155
00:08:51.720 --> 00:08:55.039
<v Speaker 5>hot summer Chicago days that we've seen so many times

156
00:08:55.120 --> 00:08:55.639
<v Speaker 5>in the summer.

157
00:08:56.039 --> 00:08:56.320
<v Speaker 6>Nope.

158
00:08:57.279 --> 00:08:59.240
<v Speaker 5>Next chance we will see the Cubs and Dodgers play

159
00:08:59.720 --> 00:09:02.360
<v Speaker 5>is an October if both can get there. And the Cubs,

160
00:09:02.399 --> 00:09:05.200
<v Speaker 5>by the way leading the NL Central at sixteen and ten,

161
00:09:05.639 --> 00:09:08.320
<v Speaker 5>the Dodgers one game back. Now the padres in the

162
00:09:08.440 --> 00:09:11.399
<v Speaker 5>NL West at sixteen and ni, let's go out to

163
00:09:11.440 --> 00:09:15.000
<v Speaker 5>the phones, Jasper Newport Beach start things off on this

164
00:09:15.080 --> 00:09:18.559
<v Speaker 5>Wednesday night after the Dodgers lose in Chicago's seven to six, Jasper,

165
00:09:18.799 --> 00:09:19.320
<v Speaker 5>what's going on.

166
00:09:20.919 --> 00:09:22.279
<v Speaker 2>Hey, Timmy, how you doing tonight.

167
00:09:22.600 --> 00:09:25.000
<v Speaker 5>I'm okay, I'm okay. I'm a little frustrated with the pitching.

168
00:09:25.360 --> 00:09:30.240
<v Speaker 5>I mentioned over the weekend, my concern for the bullpen,

169
00:09:30.320 --> 00:09:32.600
<v Speaker 5>the amount of innings being pitched, and when you're asking

170
00:09:32.639 --> 00:09:34.519
<v Speaker 5>the bullpen last night to throw a lot of innings

171
00:09:34.559 --> 00:09:36.759
<v Speaker 5>because Dustin May struggled in tonight, they got to go

172
00:09:36.879 --> 00:09:39.639
<v Speaker 5>back out there and seven different relievers have to pitch

173
00:09:39.679 --> 00:09:42.240
<v Speaker 5>in the bullpen game. I know there's a day off tomorrow, Jasper,

174
00:09:42.320 --> 00:09:44.559
<v Speaker 5>but May, we're asking a lot out of these guys.

175
00:09:45.799 --> 00:09:48.960
<v Speaker 2>They couldn't agree more. Sam, I just want to call

176
00:09:49.039 --> 00:09:51.279
<v Speaker 2>and tell you that this Dodger team right now is

177
00:09:51.320 --> 00:09:53.679
<v Speaker 2>reminding me of my golf game a bit, and for

178
00:09:53.759 --> 00:09:56.519
<v Speaker 2>all my golfers out there be able to relate. One

179
00:09:56.559 --> 00:10:00.679
<v Speaker 2>club starts working, the others start to disappear. Starting pitching

180
00:10:00.720 --> 00:10:03.759
<v Speaker 2>has been really good. The bullpen lights out, especially in Texas,

181
00:10:04.279 --> 00:10:08.200
<v Speaker 2>and the offense just couldn't get those big Dodger innings going.

182
00:10:08.559 --> 00:10:11.320
<v Speaker 2>And here in Chicago you said it, sixteen runs in

183
00:10:12.159 --> 00:10:15.480
<v Speaker 2>two games and the pitching starts to disappear. I think

184
00:10:15.519 --> 00:10:17.080
<v Speaker 2>we just need to get the driver. Got to get

185
00:10:17.080 --> 00:10:19.399
<v Speaker 2>the Irons a short game. All fire and at the

186
00:10:19.399 --> 00:10:21.080
<v Speaker 2>same time we're gonna go on a big win streak.

187
00:10:21.279 --> 00:10:23.559
<v Speaker 5>It's a good analogy. I like that, Jasper appreciate the

188
00:10:23.639 --> 00:10:25.759
<v Speaker 5>phone call. Yeah, the Dodgers are like a lot of

189
00:10:25.759 --> 00:10:29.399
<v Speaker 5>people's golf game. Right now, something's working, the other two

190
00:10:29.519 --> 00:10:31.519
<v Speaker 5>parts aren't working. It's just when you figure out that

191
00:10:31.919 --> 00:10:34.080
<v Speaker 5>other part that wasn't working, the part that was working

192
00:10:34.159 --> 00:10:37.679
<v Speaker 5>for you stops working. So yeah, it is certainly frustration

193
00:10:37.840 --> 00:10:41.000
<v Speaker 5>for the Dodgers again last year twenty twenty four, especially

194
00:10:41.039 --> 00:10:46.679
<v Speaker 5>in October. Great defense, good base running, did not make mistakes,

195
00:10:47.320 --> 00:10:51.279
<v Speaker 5>didn't hurt themselves, no self inflicted wounds for the Dodgers.

196
00:10:51.879 --> 00:10:54.120
<v Speaker 5>And when you play clean baseball and you got the

197
00:10:54.159 --> 00:10:56.879
<v Speaker 5>offense like the Dodgers have, and you can get some

198
00:10:56.960 --> 00:11:00.559
<v Speaker 5>good pitching, you're gonna win more times than not if

199
00:11:00.600 --> 00:11:04.399
<v Speaker 5>you're the Dodgers. But when the hitting falls off a

200
00:11:04.480 --> 00:11:07.480
<v Speaker 5>little bit, where's the defensive pitching to pick him up?

201
00:11:08.039 --> 00:11:08.879
<v Speaker 6>It has to be there.

202
00:11:09.720 --> 00:11:12.240
<v Speaker 5>Well, the hitting's there tonight he scored six runs. He

203
00:11:12.279 --> 00:11:15.679
<v Speaker 5>scored sixteen runs in two games, but starting pitching hasn't

204
00:11:15.679 --> 00:11:17.639
<v Speaker 5>been there the last two nights. Well, certainly a bullpen

205
00:11:17.679 --> 00:11:20.679
<v Speaker 5>game tonight with Ben Casparious getting the start but the

206
00:11:20.759 --> 00:11:24.960
<v Speaker 5>bullpen last night and the bullpen tonight again. A lot

207
00:11:25.080 --> 00:11:28.639
<v Speaker 5>of innings starting to mount up for Dodger relievers. Two

208
00:11:28.759 --> 00:11:32.399
<v Speaker 5>thirds here, two thirds there, an inning here, two and

209
00:11:32.480 --> 00:11:34.240
<v Speaker 5>two thirds more for Ben Casparius.

210
00:11:34.799 --> 00:11:36.919
<v Speaker 6>I think Jose Motor brought up a really good point

211
00:11:36.960 --> 00:11:38.519
<v Speaker 6>when he was all with this in the Clubhouse show.

212
00:11:39.480 --> 00:11:42.840
<v Speaker 5>It's this twenty five games into the season, seven of

213
00:11:42.919 --> 00:11:46.039
<v Speaker 5>those games against the Chicago Cubs. You're starting to get

214
00:11:46.039 --> 00:11:50.480
<v Speaker 5>a little familiar with the pitching. You're seeing relievers now

215
00:11:50.600 --> 00:11:53.480
<v Speaker 5>a lot. Think about the sixteen to nothing game that

216
00:11:53.639 --> 00:11:56.480
<v Speaker 5>Ben Casparrius got touched up with A couple of saturdays, go,

217
00:11:56.759 --> 00:11:57.279
<v Speaker 5>I was there.

218
00:11:57.759 --> 00:11:59.759
<v Speaker 6>I stayed for all nine innings.

219
00:12:00.159 --> 00:12:04.159
<v Speaker 5>Watch Miguel Rojas doing impressions on the mound in a

220
00:12:04.320 --> 00:12:08.879
<v Speaker 5>sixteen to nothing loss at home to the Cubbies. They've

221
00:12:08.919 --> 00:12:12.559
<v Speaker 5>played out seven times in the last month against each other.

222
00:12:13.120 --> 00:12:17.360
<v Speaker 5>It's a lot of time seeing Casparius, a Bonda, a dryer,

223
00:12:17.679 --> 00:12:21.279
<v Speaker 5>a dust in may, seeing these different Dodger pitchers on

224
00:12:21.320 --> 00:12:23.519
<v Speaker 5>the flip side the same thing. How many times have

225
00:12:23.559 --> 00:12:26.360
<v Speaker 5>they see Matthew Boyden now a couple you know, we've

226
00:12:26.360 --> 00:12:29.159
<v Speaker 5>seen show to Imanaga a couple of times. So you're

227
00:12:29.159 --> 00:12:31.720
<v Speaker 5>starting to get familiar with the other team, just like

228
00:12:31.879 --> 00:12:35.639
<v Speaker 5>you would though in a seven game series. First time

229
00:12:35.720 --> 00:12:38.000
<v Speaker 5>you see a starting pitching in game one, well you're

230
00:12:38.000 --> 00:12:40.879
<v Speaker 5>gonna see him in game four. So as a batter,

231
00:12:41.080 --> 00:12:42.919
<v Speaker 5>you're a little bit more familiar because you got four

232
00:12:42.960 --> 00:12:47.159
<v Speaker 5>abs against the guy four days ago. So it's muscle memory.

233
00:12:47.360 --> 00:12:49.440
<v Speaker 5>You remember what he's like, what he does, what he

234
00:12:49.559 --> 00:12:53.159
<v Speaker 5>doesn't do, how he pitches you. So the fact that

235
00:12:53.159 --> 00:12:56.279
<v Speaker 5>they've seen each other now seven times in twenty five games,

236
00:12:56.840 --> 00:12:57.399
<v Speaker 5>that could.

237
00:12:57.240 --> 00:12:57.720
<v Speaker 6>Be part of it.

238
00:12:58.080 --> 00:13:00.759
<v Speaker 5>And when you're throwing a lot of Dodger levers out there,

239
00:13:00.840 --> 00:13:03.440
<v Speaker 5>they soak up innings. That's given the Cubs a lot

240
00:13:03.480 --> 00:13:06.720
<v Speaker 5>of opportunity to see these guys and get familiar with

241
00:13:06.840 --> 00:13:09.919
<v Speaker 5>Dodger relievers and to see Jack Dryer. And tonight it

242
00:13:10.000 --> 00:13:13.440
<v Speaker 5>was Jack Dryer's turn to give it up. He'll like

243
00:13:13.519 --> 00:13:16.919
<v Speaker 5>give up two hits, but he walked three and a

244
00:13:17.000 --> 00:13:21.320
<v Speaker 5>sack fly, a two run single and a RBI single

245
00:13:21.639 --> 00:13:23.720
<v Speaker 5>did him in. When you load the bases up and

246
00:13:23.759 --> 00:13:25.919
<v Speaker 5>then you you give up a hit here, a sack

247
00:13:26.000 --> 00:13:29.039
<v Speaker 5>fly there, and a hit up the middle. Damage done.

248
00:13:29.799 --> 00:13:32.120
<v Speaker 5>That's three runs right there, part of a four run

249
00:13:32.200 --> 00:13:35.600
<v Speaker 5>fourth inning for the Cubbies. They win it seven six

250
00:13:36.120 --> 00:13:38.559
<v Speaker 5>over the Dodgers tonight, as the Dodgers fall to sixteen

251
00:13:38.600 --> 00:13:41.720
<v Speaker 5>to nine on the season. Let's go to Santos and

252
00:13:41.799 --> 00:13:44.600
<v Speaker 5>the Ie checking in here on Dodger Talk on this

253
00:13:44.679 --> 00:13:45.240
<v Speaker 5>Wednesday night.

254
00:13:45.360 --> 00:13:46.960
<v Speaker 6>Santos, welcome, what's on your mind?

255
00:13:48.080 --> 00:13:48.840
<v Speaker 1>Hey, what's up, Tim?

256
00:13:48.879 --> 00:13:49.399
<v Speaker 2>How you doing?

257
00:13:49.480 --> 00:13:49.679
<v Speaker 4>Brother?

258
00:13:51.679 --> 00:13:52.279
<v Speaker 6>I appreciate it.

259
00:13:52.559 --> 00:13:55.559
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, man, I'm just like yeah, man. I mean it's

260
00:13:55.679 --> 00:13:59.399
<v Speaker 1>like Dave like he should, uh, he should let Casparius

261
00:13:59.399 --> 00:14:01.639
<v Speaker 1>out there a little bit longer, you know, like Casparre's

262
00:14:01.720 --> 00:14:03.679
<v Speaker 1>was being a dog. He was out there, Like I

263
00:14:03.799 --> 00:14:05.399
<v Speaker 1>was surprised to see him take him out, Like I

264
00:14:05.440 --> 00:14:07.720
<v Speaker 1>think it was a third with two innings. I was like, well,

265
00:14:07.759 --> 00:14:09.639
<v Speaker 1>he could get at least like another two more innings,

266
00:14:09.720 --> 00:14:13.759
<v Speaker 1>like at the very least, Like, let that guy just

267
00:14:14.080 --> 00:14:16.440
<v Speaker 1>burn out because what we got the Pirates coming up

268
00:14:16.480 --> 00:14:19.200
<v Speaker 1>this weekend. Like give him the weekend off, okay, cool,

269
00:14:19.240 --> 00:14:22.360
<v Speaker 1>burn him out because our bullpen's been burnt out for

270
00:14:22.879 --> 00:14:23.240
<v Speaker 1>at least.

271
00:14:23.320 --> 00:14:25.200
<v Speaker 5>Last thing I want to do is burn him out

272
00:14:25.360 --> 00:14:28.120
<v Speaker 5>for an extend amount of time and hurt his arms. Santos,

273
00:14:28.120 --> 00:14:30.799
<v Speaker 5>I mean he threw forty pitches tonight, just looking at

274
00:14:30.919 --> 00:14:35.639
<v Speaker 5>how many times he's pitched. He threw forty seven against Colorado.

275
00:14:35.759 --> 00:14:38.440
<v Speaker 5>Last Wednesday, he threw forty one against these same cubs

276
00:14:38.759 --> 00:14:41.639
<v Speaker 5>in that she lacking, which they lost sixteen to nothing.

277
00:14:42.159 --> 00:14:44.519
<v Speaker 5>Other than that, he hasn't thrown really more than thirty

278
00:14:44.559 --> 00:14:46.519
<v Speaker 5>five pitches in a game. So I don't know if

279
00:14:46.559 --> 00:14:49.679
<v Speaker 5>it's too much to ask him to finish the third inning.

280
00:14:49.799 --> 00:14:53.600
<v Speaker 5>He's at forty pitches, he's got two outs. You know,

281
00:14:53.879 --> 00:14:55.639
<v Speaker 5>maybe you try to get that final lot, get him

282
00:14:55.639 --> 00:14:56.720
<v Speaker 5>to forty five pitches.

283
00:14:57.039 --> 00:14:57.639
<v Speaker 6>I don't know.

284
00:14:57.720 --> 00:14:59.000
<v Speaker 5>I don't know what his limit is. I don't know

285
00:14:59.039 --> 00:15:01.639
<v Speaker 5>how he's feeling. You know, behind the scenes, I'm sure

286
00:15:01.679 --> 00:15:03.440
<v Speaker 5>they know all that. They've charted all it, and they

287
00:15:03.480 --> 00:15:05.679
<v Speaker 5>had a game plan for everything. But I'm with you

288
00:15:05.960 --> 00:15:08.039
<v Speaker 5>with the with the the way he was pitching, and

289
00:15:08.080 --> 00:15:10.679
<v Speaker 5>I appreciate the phone call, with the way he was pitching,

290
00:15:11.200 --> 00:15:12.799
<v Speaker 5>the way he was out there and didn't seem to

291
00:15:12.840 --> 00:15:17.279
<v Speaker 5>have a lost stressful contact and innings out there in the.

292
00:15:17.279 --> 00:15:18.399
<v Speaker 6>First two and two thirds.

293
00:15:19.320 --> 00:15:20.639
<v Speaker 5>I mean, he gave him a lead up double in

294
00:15:20.679 --> 00:15:23.159
<v Speaker 5>the second, but a ball that fell in and you know,

295
00:15:23.399 --> 00:15:25.679
<v Speaker 5>you could have been caught, but got out of it

296
00:15:25.720 --> 00:15:29.159
<v Speaker 5>with the strikeout, ground out and a flyout got himself

297
00:15:29.200 --> 00:15:31.799
<v Speaker 5>out of it really quickly, and then a flyout on

298
00:15:31.879 --> 00:15:34.559
<v Speaker 5>the strikeout. Maybe let him go a little bit more,

299
00:15:35.240 --> 00:15:40.159
<v Speaker 5>especially with a bullpen that is pitched a lot of innings.

300
00:15:40.799 --> 00:15:42.080
<v Speaker 6>And last night you.

301
00:15:42.120 --> 00:15:44.039
<v Speaker 5>Saw guys had to come out and pick up for

302
00:15:44.120 --> 00:15:44.639
<v Speaker 5>Dustin May.

303
00:15:45.840 --> 00:15:48.159
<v Speaker 6>So again they know everything.

304
00:15:48.519 --> 00:15:50.279
<v Speaker 5>They know it better than we do as far as

305
00:15:50.519 --> 00:15:53.399
<v Speaker 5>the feel where he's at, the pitch count, all.

306
00:15:53.200 --> 00:15:53.960
<v Speaker 6>That stuff's taken it.

307
00:15:54.000 --> 00:15:56.320
<v Speaker 5>It's it's not just a guess, all right, Hey, you

308
00:15:56.360 --> 00:15:58.200
<v Speaker 5>know what forty pitches, Hey, let's take him out, okay

309
00:15:58.279 --> 00:16:01.759
<v Speaker 5>or whatever. It's it's all planned it strategized out. They

310
00:16:01.840 --> 00:16:03.679
<v Speaker 5>got a game plan and kind of a map of

311
00:16:03.720 --> 00:16:06.679
<v Speaker 5>where they're following here. This this bullpen game. That's the

312
00:16:06.720 --> 00:16:11.080
<v Speaker 5>problem with bullpen games. If if something goes off course,

313
00:16:11.600 --> 00:16:13.320
<v Speaker 5>I mean, you got it mapped out. You know a

314
00:16:13.399 --> 00:16:15.120
<v Speaker 5>lot of times they got it mapped out to the hitter.

315
00:16:15.279 --> 00:16:17.360
<v Speaker 5>All right, you're gonna get these two hitters. You're gonna

316
00:16:17.360 --> 00:16:19.399
<v Speaker 5>get this inning, all right. If he goes, if you

317
00:16:19.480 --> 00:16:21.360
<v Speaker 5>get it quickenning here, you're gonna come back and at

318
00:16:21.480 --> 00:16:23.720
<v Speaker 5>least the first two guys because they're lefty, righty you

319
00:16:23.759 --> 00:16:26.200
<v Speaker 5>know it's all it's all strategically done right. There's a

320
00:16:26.240 --> 00:16:29.559
<v Speaker 5>purpose for what they're doing. But all it takes is

321
00:16:29.840 --> 00:16:32.919
<v Speaker 5>a home run or a couple of walks like what

322
00:16:33.000 --> 00:16:35.399
<v Speaker 5>happened with Jack Dryer in the fifth inning, and your plan,

323
00:16:35.720 --> 00:16:38.480
<v Speaker 5>your map to navigate through twenty seven outs, all of

324
00:16:38.519 --> 00:16:41.840
<v Speaker 5>a sudden you got issues and you're off course.

325
00:16:42.320 --> 00:16:44.159
<v Speaker 6>You gotta figure out how to get back on course.

326
00:16:44.679 --> 00:16:47.240
<v Speaker 5>And now you've got a lingering bullpen out there already

327
00:16:47.480 --> 00:16:50.240
<v Speaker 5>throwing a lot of innings, and now you're chasing a

328
00:16:50.480 --> 00:16:53.200
<v Speaker 5>seven to five Cubs lead, and it's the fifth inning.

329
00:16:54.159 --> 00:16:55.440
<v Speaker 5>You know, it's the bottom of the fifth, and you

330
00:16:55.480 --> 00:16:57.360
<v Speaker 5>gotta go back out for the sixth, seventh, eighth, and

331
00:16:57.759 --> 00:16:59.320
<v Speaker 5>maybe the ninth if if you gotta go back on

332
00:16:59.360 --> 00:17:01.519
<v Speaker 5>and pitch the bottom the ninth inning, And you got

333
00:17:01.840 --> 00:17:04.400
<v Speaker 5>people that have to cover those out, and you're in

334
00:17:04.440 --> 00:17:07.680
<v Speaker 5>the fifth inning now and you've already used up one, two, three,

335
00:17:07.960 --> 00:17:10.240
<v Speaker 5>four relievers out of that bullpen.

336
00:17:10.319 --> 00:17:11.480
<v Speaker 6>So it changes the game plan.

337
00:17:11.599 --> 00:17:13.759
<v Speaker 5>It certainly gets you off course for the plan you

338
00:17:13.839 --> 00:17:16.240
<v Speaker 5>have in place for Dave Roberts and Mark Pryor.

339
00:17:17.119 --> 00:17:19.519
<v Speaker 6>Despite all that, the Dodgers still had the lead twice.

340
00:17:19.240 --> 00:17:21.799
<v Speaker 5>In this game, leading by two runs two to nothing

341
00:17:21.839 --> 00:17:23.640
<v Speaker 5>early and then a five to three leading the fifth,

342
00:17:23.960 --> 00:17:25.400
<v Speaker 5>and they made it a seven to sixth game in

343
00:17:25.440 --> 00:17:27.759
<v Speaker 5>the sixth inning and still had an opportunity. So that

344
00:17:27.880 --> 00:17:32.200
<v Speaker 5>all being said, the offense, still chugging along, had opportunities

345
00:17:32.240 --> 00:17:34.240
<v Speaker 5>eight sixty six, nine eighty seven to two five seven.

346
00:17:34.240 --> 00:17:35.960
<v Speaker 6>He will take a break here, come back. We'll get

347
00:17:35.960 --> 00:17:37.079
<v Speaker 6>to more of your phone calls.

348
00:17:37.759 --> 00:17:40.880
<v Speaker 5>As the Dodgers lose in Chicago tonight seven to six,

349
00:17:41.000 --> 00:17:42.480
<v Speaker 5>Matthew Boyd gets the win.

350
00:17:42.480 --> 00:17:44.200
<v Speaker 6>Jack Dryer gets the loss.

351
00:17:44.319 --> 00:17:48.160
<v Speaker 5>Ta Oscar Hernandez drove in four of the Dodgers six runs.

352
00:17:48.440 --> 00:17:52.079
<v Speaker 5>Mookie Betts had an RBI double, Andy Paez had a

353
00:17:52.160 --> 00:17:54.720
<v Speaker 5>home run. He's got home runs down back to back games.

354
00:17:54.920 --> 00:17:58.119
<v Speaker 5>Maybe he's gonna get going. We saw Mookie Betts tonight

355
00:17:59.039 --> 00:18:00.920
<v Speaker 5>have an RBI double in the top half.

356
00:18:00.759 --> 00:18:01.480
<v Speaker 6>Of the fifth inning.

357
00:18:01.799 --> 00:18:05.240
<v Speaker 5>Mookie tonight with a three for five outing. Maybe he's

358
00:18:05.279 --> 00:18:09.839
<v Speaker 5>gonna get going offensively again. Dodgers, though, head back home

359
00:18:09.920 --> 00:18:14.279
<v Speaker 5>after a disappointing two to three road trip in Texas.

360
00:18:14.680 --> 00:18:17.680
<v Speaker 5>In Chicago, now the Dodgers back home for a six

361
00:18:17.799 --> 00:18:20.319
<v Speaker 5>game homestad beginning of Friday night. Look ahead to that

379
00:19:18.880 --> 00:19:21.839
<v Speaker 5>six on the season for Tae Oscar. Andy Paez would

380
00:19:21.839 --> 00:19:24.920
<v Speaker 5>also go deep in the sixth inning, his fourth of

388
00:19:50.079 --> 00:19:54.319
<v Speaker 5>Cubs own the season series with the Dodgers. They have

389
00:19:54.440 --> 00:19:57.200
<v Speaker 5>now played seven times. That is it for the regular season.

390
00:19:57.480 --> 00:19:59.839
<v Speaker 5>They will not meet again until October if both teams

391
00:19:59.839 --> 00:20:02.720
<v Speaker 5>were to get there. The Cubs win the season series

392
00:20:02.960 --> 00:20:06.519
<v Speaker 5>four games to three with this two game sweep at

393
00:20:06.559 --> 00:20:09.960
<v Speaker 5>Wrigley Field in Chicago. The Dodgers Tonight, a bullpen game.

394
00:20:10.680 --> 00:20:13.640
<v Speaker 5>Seven different relievers took the mount starting with Ben Caspirius,

395
00:20:13.799 --> 00:20:15.920
<v Speaker 5>who went two and two third innings, no runs, one hit,

396
00:20:15.960 --> 00:20:20.759
<v Speaker 5>three strikeouts. Remember Ben Casparius got lit up at Dodger

397
00:20:20.880 --> 00:20:24.279
<v Speaker 5>Stadium just a couple of weekends ago, and he comes

398
00:20:24.359 --> 00:20:27.240
<v Speaker 5>back tonight and pitched really well. Jack Dryer, who pitched

399
00:20:27.279 --> 00:20:29.440
<v Speaker 5>well against the Cubs a couple of weekends to go

400
00:20:29.519 --> 00:20:34.400
<v Speaker 5>at Dodger Stadium tonight, comes out, walks three, gives up

401
00:20:34.559 --> 00:20:37.519
<v Speaker 5>four runs, part of a four run fifth inning for

402
00:20:37.599 --> 00:20:39.799
<v Speaker 5>the Cubs that gave him a seven to five lead,

403
00:20:39.839 --> 00:20:41.720
<v Speaker 5>pass his home run minute, his seven to six game.

404
00:20:42.119 --> 00:20:44.799
<v Speaker 5>So it's part of baseball right to see a team

405
00:20:45.119 --> 00:20:47.759
<v Speaker 5>and a player have the ups and downs of a season,

406
00:20:48.119 --> 00:20:51.359
<v Speaker 5>a series, a week and for Ben Casparius, the low

407
00:20:51.400 --> 00:20:53.759
<v Speaker 5>of lows a couple weekends ago against the Cubbies, comes

408
00:20:53.839 --> 00:20:56.319
<v Speaker 5>back out tonight and pitches really well into the third inning,

409
00:20:56.680 --> 00:20:59.559
<v Speaker 5>struck out three along the way through forty pitches, give

410
00:20:59.640 --> 00:21:01.440
<v Speaker 5>up just the one blue pit that was it, which

411
00:21:01.519 --> 00:21:04.599
<v Speaker 5>is a double. But good for Ben Casparius, Jack Dryer,

412
00:21:04.599 --> 00:21:06.279
<v Speaker 5>He'll bounce back, no doubt about it. He is a

413
00:21:06.480 --> 00:21:09.680
<v Speaker 5>really good young reliever for the Dodgers. Just tonight a

414
00:21:09.759 --> 00:21:12.119
<v Speaker 5>hiccup for him in the fifth inning. Despite it, the

415
00:21:12.200 --> 00:21:14.480
<v Speaker 5>Dodgers almost came up with a couple of runs in

416
00:21:14.519 --> 00:21:17.680
<v Speaker 5>the sixth inning and shoey Otani a golden opportunity with

417
00:21:17.839 --> 00:21:20.240
<v Speaker 5>two on, two outrunners on second and third, but he

418
00:21:20.359 --> 00:21:22.559
<v Speaker 5>popped out to shortstop to end the threat, in which

419
00:21:22.839 --> 00:21:24.799
<v Speaker 5>a basit would have given the Dodgers back the lead

420
00:21:24.880 --> 00:21:26.160
<v Speaker 5>again eight to seven.

421
00:21:26.279 --> 00:21:27.680
<v Speaker 6>So, uh, he comes through.

422
00:21:28.079 --> 00:21:29.920
<v Speaker 5>We're not talking about anything but a Dodger will win

423
00:21:30.000 --> 00:21:33.960
<v Speaker 5>probably he pops out, and we're talking about the struggles

424
00:21:34.000 --> 00:21:37.839
<v Speaker 5>of the offense against the high scoring Chicago Cubs, who

425
00:21:37.880 --> 00:21:40.519
<v Speaker 5>are the highest scoring offense in all of baseball as

426
00:21:40.559 --> 00:21:43.640
<v Speaker 5>they beat the Dodgers tonight seven to six, eight six

427
00:21:43.759 --> 00:21:46.799
<v Speaker 5>six nine eight seven two five seventy is the number.

428
00:21:46.920 --> 00:21:49.720
<v Speaker 5>Let's go to Charles in San Diego's next up here

429
00:21:49.799 --> 00:21:50.839
<v Speaker 5>on postgame Dodger Talk.

430
00:21:50.920 --> 00:21:51.920
<v Speaker 6>How you doing, Charles going on?

431
00:21:53.119 --> 00:21:53.240
<v Speaker 5>Uh?

432
00:21:53.440 --> 00:21:56.920
<v Speaker 3>Doing good? Yeah, a couple of rough outings we had

433
00:21:57.039 --> 00:22:01.079
<v Speaker 3>here in Chicago. You do have a couple of things,

434
00:22:02.400 --> 00:22:05.319
<v Speaker 3>you know, with the bullpen being being used as it

435
00:22:05.480 --> 00:22:09.200
<v Speaker 3>has been, and just found out today that Blake Snow

436
00:22:09.319 --> 00:22:13.720
<v Speaker 3>is gonna be shut down possibly, So I was wondering

437
00:22:13.920 --> 00:22:18.000
<v Speaker 3>if you keep hearing about Tony golfriend is coming back

438
00:22:18.119 --> 00:22:20.759
<v Speaker 3>and a couple of other pictures like code pick or whatnot,

439
00:22:21.480 --> 00:22:24.400
<v Speaker 3>do you think that they're gonna big him up, bring

440
00:22:24.480 --> 00:22:27.359
<v Speaker 3>him up in the next home stand or well do

441
00:22:27.400 --> 00:22:27.960
<v Speaker 3>you think on that?

442
00:22:28.799 --> 00:22:32.200
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I appreciate the phone call Michael Kopeks a ways away.

443
00:22:32.440 --> 00:22:36.000
<v Speaker 5>I know he's throwing bullpen sessions, but he is not

444
00:22:36.160 --> 00:22:38.200
<v Speaker 5>close to coming back and being a part of this

445
00:22:38.319 --> 00:22:41.839
<v Speaker 5>Dodger bullpen. I'll give you a quick Tony Gonsolin update.

446
00:22:42.279 --> 00:22:45.640
<v Speaker 5>He allowed two runs in his longest outing in a

447
00:22:45.759 --> 00:22:51.160
<v Speaker 5>minor league start since twenty twenty three. Yeah, he allowed

448
00:22:51.200 --> 00:22:54.000
<v Speaker 5>two runs, pitched into the sixth inning in his fourth

449
00:22:54.119 --> 00:22:57.079
<v Speaker 5>and what could be his final rehab start in Triple

450
00:22:57.119 --> 00:23:01.720
<v Speaker 5>A Oklahoma City. He threw seventy nine pitches for Triple

451
00:23:01.759 --> 00:23:06.160
<v Speaker 5>A Oklahoma City. Gonsolin induced five groundouts, including a double play,

452
00:23:06.319 --> 00:23:08.400
<v Speaker 5>also got three infield popouts.

453
00:23:08.799 --> 00:23:10.559
<v Speaker 6>He threw thirty six fastballs.

454
00:23:10.720 --> 00:23:13.119
<v Speaker 5>This was tonight in a start for the comments in

455
00:23:13.160 --> 00:23:17.000
<v Speaker 5>Triple A he averages fastball around ninety three. They're saying

456
00:23:17.079 --> 00:23:20.640
<v Speaker 5>he talked out about ninety five ninety six. So now,

457
00:23:20.720 --> 00:23:25.160
<v Speaker 5>in four rehab starts for Tony Gonsolin, he's allowed six

458
00:23:25.279 --> 00:23:28.559
<v Speaker 5>runs on eleven hits with six walks in fourteen innings

459
00:23:28.839 --> 00:23:32.519
<v Speaker 5>with sixteen strikeouts. So the way it lines up right now,

460
00:23:33.000 --> 00:23:35.559
<v Speaker 5>I guess he could be good to go next week

461
00:23:35.759 --> 00:23:39.440
<v Speaker 5>in the series against Miami if he were to get

462
00:23:39.519 --> 00:23:42.119
<v Speaker 5>called up from Triple A Oklahoma City, and he very

463
00:23:42.160 --> 00:23:45.000
<v Speaker 5>well maybe called up because the Dodgers I don't think

464
00:23:45.039 --> 00:23:48.319
<v Speaker 5>they could keep having bullpen games once a week, at

465
00:23:48.400 --> 00:23:51.079
<v Speaker 5>least not right now while they are banged up. And

466
00:23:51.200 --> 00:23:55.799
<v Speaker 5>he brought up Blake Snell's name, Blake Snell is not progressing.

467
00:23:56.079 --> 00:24:00.440
<v Speaker 5>David Vassay mentioned it in the pregame show. I'll repeat

468
00:24:00.480 --> 00:24:03.240
<v Speaker 5>what David said then that Blake Snell was scheduled to

469
00:24:03.319 --> 00:24:07.279
<v Speaker 5>throw a bullpen session but decided not to and canceled

470
00:24:07.319 --> 00:24:11.119
<v Speaker 5>that after he felt some discomfort playing catch yesterday. He's

471
00:24:11.160 --> 00:24:14.640
<v Speaker 5>gonna be re examined in Los Angeles and the team returns.

472
00:24:15.440 --> 00:24:18.359
<v Speaker 5>Dave Roberts said, the Dodgers have stressed to him it's

473
00:24:18.440 --> 00:24:21.640
<v Speaker 5>the big picture. Certainly, it's a six month season, so

474
00:24:22.119 --> 00:24:24.920
<v Speaker 5>don't rush back in late April, because they're really gonna

475
00:24:24.920 --> 00:24:28.559
<v Speaker 5>need Blake Snell after the All Star breaking into October. Certainly,

476
00:24:28.839 --> 00:24:31.759
<v Speaker 5>that's why you're seeing Showyotani the long play here with

477
00:24:31.880 --> 00:24:34.519
<v Speaker 5>him ramping up and an update on Shoeyotani did not

478
00:24:34.839 --> 00:24:38.000
<v Speaker 5>throw a bullpen session because of the paternity league that

479
00:24:38.039 --> 00:24:40.599
<v Speaker 5>he was gone. He is not going to throw a

480
00:24:40.640 --> 00:24:43.920
<v Speaker 5>bullpen session until this weekend. According to Mark Pryor, So,

481
00:24:44.279 --> 00:24:46.359
<v Speaker 5>he didn't have a setback. It's just the paternity list

482
00:24:46.480 --> 00:24:48.920
<v Speaker 5>being gone for a couple of days prevented him from throwing.

483
00:24:49.039 --> 00:24:50.839
<v Speaker 5>So they want to just rush him back to throwing

484
00:24:50.839 --> 00:24:53.200
<v Speaker 5>a bullpen. They wanted him to play some long costs

485
00:24:53.279 --> 00:24:56.240
<v Speaker 5>and get back into a routine before he starts playing

486
00:24:56.480 --> 00:24:59.480
<v Speaker 5>and pitching more and returning for the Dodgers. So there's

487
00:24:59.480 --> 00:25:02.240
<v Speaker 5>a quick up on Blake Snell, showy Otani, real quick

488
00:25:02.279 --> 00:25:05.480
<v Speaker 5>on Will Smith did not play tonight. Austin Barnes got

489
00:25:05.519 --> 00:25:08.400
<v Speaker 5>to start and play the entire game. Will Smith did

490
00:25:08.519 --> 00:25:10.640
<v Speaker 5>not play because of the sore left wrist that he

491
00:25:10.680 --> 00:25:13.599
<v Speaker 5>suffered when he banged his wrist last night tagging Ian

492
00:25:13.720 --> 00:25:17.519
<v Speaker 5>Happ in the sixth inning there in Chicago. Let's go

493
00:25:17.640 --> 00:25:19.599
<v Speaker 5>back out to Chicago. Let's check in with the Dodgers

494
00:25:19.599 --> 00:25:21.599
<v Speaker 5>skipper Dave Roberts. Certainly not going to be a happy

495
00:25:21.720 --> 00:25:24.359
<v Speaker 5>flight for the Dodgers as they return home from this roadchip.

496
00:25:24.359 --> 00:25:25.559
<v Speaker 6>But let's get his postgame thoughts.

497
00:25:26.160 --> 00:25:31.519
<v Speaker 7>We're just not pitching the way we're capable of. I

498
00:25:31.599 --> 00:25:34.240
<v Speaker 7>think that certainly been the starter did a really nice

499
00:25:34.359 --> 00:25:39.720
<v Speaker 7>job getting into the third inning. I think we're walking

500
00:25:39.799 --> 00:25:43.720
<v Speaker 7>a lot of guys, giving free bases and having to

501
00:25:43.799 --> 00:25:46.279
<v Speaker 7>be perfect to get out of jams. The pitch count

502
00:25:46.359 --> 00:25:49.480
<v Speaker 7>with a lot of guys is up and just giving

503
00:25:49.519 --> 00:25:52.079
<v Speaker 7>guys opportunities. But obviously you can look at those guys

504
00:25:52.240 --> 00:25:55.079
<v Speaker 7>and they're swinging the bets. Well, we made a lot

505
00:25:55.119 --> 00:25:58.079
<v Speaker 7>of mistakes. It was good to see the offense fight

506
00:25:58.279 --> 00:26:00.400
<v Speaker 7>back and you know, give us a chance to win.

507
00:26:02.039 --> 00:26:06.920
<v Speaker 7>Excited to get home, but there's no sense of panic

508
00:26:07.039 --> 00:26:10.799
<v Speaker 7>or reason of panic. Some good things with the offense. Obviously,

509
00:26:11.000 --> 00:26:14.440
<v Speaker 7>Mookie showed some life. Andy showed some life this series,

510
00:26:14.480 --> 00:26:18.039
<v Speaker 7>which is great. This road trip actually, and so we'll

511
00:26:18.039 --> 00:26:21.920
<v Speaker 7>get some other guys on track. Tail was good, but

512
00:26:22.359 --> 00:26:24.680
<v Speaker 7>we got some things to clean up. But you know,

513
00:26:24.880 --> 00:26:26.759
<v Speaker 7>outside of that, we just got to keep moving on.

514
00:26:27.039 --> 00:26:28.519
<v Speaker 6>Jack has been excellent as of late.

515
00:26:28.559 --> 00:26:30.079
<v Speaker 4>But if you were to look at today's outing, if

516
00:26:30.119 --> 00:26:31.880
<v Speaker 4>there was something that he could just whether learn from

517
00:26:31.920 --> 00:26:33.359
<v Speaker 4>this or take something way, what would it be.

518
00:26:34.000 --> 00:26:36.440
<v Speaker 7>Well, I think think with Jackie is I think there

519
00:26:36.440 --> 00:26:40.160
<v Speaker 7>were some uncharacteristic walks obviously, and he's one of those

520
00:26:40.240 --> 00:26:42.680
<v Speaker 7>pitchers that his stuff does play in the hitting zone

521
00:26:43.119 --> 00:26:45.279
<v Speaker 7>and he just didn't give himself a chance. So three

522
00:26:45.400 --> 00:26:49.799
<v Speaker 7>walks to start his outing certainly wasn't ideal, and you

523
00:26:49.839 --> 00:26:52.720
<v Speaker 7>know that, you know, unfortunately was the difference in the game.

524
00:26:52.799 --> 00:26:54.079
<v Speaker 7>But shoot, Jack's been.

525
00:26:54.079 --> 00:26:54.559
<v Speaker 6>Great for us.

526
00:26:55.079 --> 00:26:55.480
<v Speaker 2>Last year.

527
00:26:55.559 --> 00:26:57.759
<v Speaker 8>Part of your identity was how good you guys were

528
00:26:58.359 --> 00:27:01.240
<v Speaker 8>on defense and base running. Do you feel like you

529
00:27:01.279 --> 00:27:03.440
<v Speaker 8>guys are giving away too many outs on the bases,

530
00:27:03.559 --> 00:27:05.799
<v Speaker 8>and where do you see all that being played into

531
00:27:05.839 --> 00:27:06.599
<v Speaker 8>one run games?

532
00:27:07.119 --> 00:27:10.480
<v Speaker 7>You know, I think the last that was I think

533
00:27:10.519 --> 00:27:13.440
<v Speaker 7>a problem. The first couple weeks of the season, it

534
00:27:13.559 --> 00:27:15.880
<v Speaker 7>was addressed, and I think the last couple of weeks

535
00:27:15.880 --> 00:27:20.519
<v Speaker 7>we've done a really nice job of that. But yeah, today, certainly,

536
00:27:22.000 --> 00:27:24.400
<v Speaker 7>you know, throwing to the wrong base which ended up

537
00:27:24.440 --> 00:27:28.319
<v Speaker 7>being a run different in the ballgame right there, Obviously

538
00:27:28.400 --> 00:27:30.400
<v Speaker 7>getting picked off where a rally could have you know,

539
00:27:30.519 --> 00:27:36.519
<v Speaker 7>started brewing. Now there's just things that, yeah, we gave

540
00:27:36.640 --> 00:27:39.599
<v Speaker 7>them extra out, and a team that's playing well, playing

541
00:27:39.640 --> 00:27:41.319
<v Speaker 7>as well as they are, you just can't afford to

542
00:27:41.400 --> 00:27:41.599
<v Speaker 7>do that.

543
00:27:42.319 --> 00:27:44.720
<v Speaker 5>All Right, there's Dave Roberts kind of echoing a lot

544
00:27:44.799 --> 00:27:47.920
<v Speaker 5>we've been talking about here on Dodger Talk, is that

545
00:27:48.200 --> 00:27:51.680
<v Speaker 5>the Dodgers just not playing clean baseball. And you got

546
00:27:51.799 --> 00:27:54.559
<v Speaker 5>to get good pitching, timely hitting, but certainly you got

547
00:27:54.680 --> 00:27:57.319
<v Speaker 5>to play crisp defense, and you gotta play air free defense.

548
00:27:57.319 --> 00:27:59.759
<v Speaker 5>You gotta play smart defense. Talking about throwing to the

549
00:27:59.839 --> 00:28:02.200
<v Speaker 5>right base on a base hit and throwing to third

550
00:28:02.839 --> 00:28:04.920
<v Speaker 5>and letting the guy who just got the single advanced

551
00:28:04.920 --> 00:28:07.559
<v Speaker 5>to second on the throw and getting into scoring position.

552
00:28:08.279 --> 00:28:09.839
<v Speaker 6>That kind of stuff cannot happen.

553
00:28:09.880 --> 00:28:11.200
<v Speaker 5>You got to throw it to second to keep the

554
00:28:11.279 --> 00:28:14.160
<v Speaker 5>runner at first and keep him from scoring and being

555
00:28:14.160 --> 00:28:16.920
<v Speaker 5>in scoring position for the next batter. Getting picked off

556
00:28:16.960 --> 00:28:18.839
<v Speaker 5>at first base when you've got runners on first and

557
00:28:18.920 --> 00:28:20.559
<v Speaker 5>second is an absolute no.

558
00:28:20.720 --> 00:28:23.920
<v Speaker 6>No cannot happen, And it happened tonight. From Austin Barnes.

559
00:28:24.039 --> 00:28:25.839
<v Speaker 5>Go back to the last couple of series and we're

560
00:28:25.839 --> 00:28:28.160
<v Speaker 5>talking about the last road trip, the struggles on the

561
00:28:28.200 --> 00:28:31.279
<v Speaker 5>base pass, Andy Bojez, a couple of base running mistakes.

562
00:28:31.759 --> 00:28:34.480
<v Speaker 5>You have to play Chris baseball, and you have to

563
00:28:34.640 --> 00:28:37.599
<v Speaker 5>least put yourself in a really good situation to let

564
00:28:37.640 --> 00:28:41.480
<v Speaker 5>your offense and you're pitching do their thing by playing

565
00:28:41.680 --> 00:28:45.519
<v Speaker 5>good fundamental defense and being smart on the bass pass.

566
00:28:46.039 --> 00:28:48.960
<v Speaker 5>If you do that, you're going to be successful. But

567
00:28:49.079 --> 00:28:51.119
<v Speaker 5>if you're not having good hitting and you're not having

568
00:28:51.200 --> 00:28:54.200
<v Speaker 5>good pitching, and you're not having good defense and you're

569
00:28:54.240 --> 00:28:56.519
<v Speaker 5>not smart on the bass pass, I mean, you're talking

570
00:28:56.519 --> 00:29:00.720
<v Speaker 5>about quadruple whammy there, and then you're not gonna help.

571
00:29:00.720 --> 00:29:02.359
<v Speaker 5>You're not gonna have a lot of success at all

572
00:29:02.799 --> 00:29:05.559
<v Speaker 5>by doing that, and Despite all that, tonight, the Dodgers

573
00:29:05.599 --> 00:29:08.440
<v Speaker 5>still fell just one run short, and as Dave Roberts mentioned,

574
00:29:08.680 --> 00:29:11.440
<v Speaker 5>not panic time. You know, Mookie Betts swung in pretty

575
00:29:11.440 --> 00:29:14.119
<v Speaker 5>good bat tonight, three for five with an RBI double.

576
00:29:14.799 --> 00:29:18.000
<v Speaker 5>We saw ta Oscar Hernandez driving four runs, Andy Potters

577
00:29:18.039 --> 00:29:20.720
<v Speaker 5>back to back nights with home runs. Austin Barnes, despite

578
00:29:20.720 --> 00:29:22.880
<v Speaker 5>getting picked off at first base, which is.

579
00:29:22.880 --> 00:29:25.960
<v Speaker 6>A no no, went two for four tonight, had two hits.

580
00:29:26.440 --> 00:29:28.960
<v Speaker 5>So a lot of positives to build off from this game,

581
00:29:29.720 --> 00:29:33.079
<v Speaker 5>and certainly a lot to clean up if you're the Dodgers,

582
00:29:33.400 --> 00:29:35.720
<v Speaker 5>and it's something that will keep harping on. Rick Monday

583
00:29:35.799 --> 00:29:40.240
<v Speaker 5>mentioned it several times throughout the game, just not playing fundamental, crisp.

584
00:29:40.039 --> 00:29:40.839
<v Speaker 6>Clean baseball.

585
00:29:41.519 --> 00:29:44.200
<v Speaker 5>And you got to do that if you're gonna win

586
00:29:44.599 --> 00:29:46.599
<v Speaker 5>on the road and certainly at a home you've got

587
00:29:46.680 --> 00:29:48.559
<v Speaker 5>to be doing that as well. And the Dodgers just

588
00:29:48.559 --> 00:29:50.880
<v Speaker 5>start't doing that right now. They've been able to overcome

589
00:29:50.960 --> 00:29:54.039
<v Speaker 5>that with some timely hitting and a lot of talent

590
00:29:54.200 --> 00:29:57.079
<v Speaker 5>on offense. But on a night in would Showyotani goes

591
00:29:57.119 --> 00:30:00.799
<v Speaker 5>one for five and outside of Mookie Betts, Oscar Hernandez

592
00:30:00.839 --> 00:30:04.200
<v Speaker 5>and Andy pat has nobody else drives in runs for

593
00:30:04.279 --> 00:30:06.839
<v Speaker 5>this Dodgers team, and the Dodgers really just didn't have

594
00:30:06.880 --> 00:30:09.359
<v Speaker 5>a lot of opportunities after that, stranding five base runners

595
00:30:09.799 --> 00:30:12.160
<v Speaker 5>in tonight's game. That's gonna do it for postgame Dodger

596
00:30:12.240 --> 00:30:15.599
<v Speaker 5>Talk Mini. Thanks to Colin Ye for all his help

597
00:30:15.680 --> 00:30:16.759
<v Speaker 5>and all his great work.

598
00:30:16.880 --> 00:30:18.519
<v Speaker 6>We appreciate that. See why.

599
00:30:18.640 --> 00:30:20.680
