And now 17 00:00:42.200 --> 00:00:45.240 your host of Dodger Talk, David Vasse. 18 00:00:49.039 --> 00:00:53.200 Welcome to Dodger Talk. David vass with you until eleven 19 00:00:53.240 --> 00:00:57.479 o'clock tonight here on AM five to seventy LA Sports. 20 00:00:57.520 --> 00:01:00.439 The Dodgers fall to the Giants tonight if by a 21 00:01:00.479 --> 00:01:04.079 final score of six to two, we have a great 22 00:01:04.120 --> 00:01:07.959 show for you tonight. Despite the Dodgers losing the first 23 00:01:08.079 --> 00:01:12.359 game against the Giants. You'll hear from Blake Trinan, who 24 00:01:12.439 --> 00:01:16.319 is making his way back from a shoulder injury. You'll 25 00:01:16.359 --> 00:01:19.560 also get an update on Blake Snell and Tyler Glass 26 00:01:19.640 --> 00:01:24.120 now and also as far as image Shean goes, we 27 00:01:24.200 --> 00:01:27.000 also have an update on that. Jose Moto will check 28 00:01:27.079 --> 00:01:30.719 in as well. But as far as tonight's game goes, 29 00:01:31.280 --> 00:01:35.799 I was curious about this Giant's magic. I was wondering, 30 00:01:36.319 --> 00:01:40.159 how are they coming into the game tonight, just the 31 00:01:40.200 --> 00:01:43.519 game back of the Dodgers in the NL West. And 32 00:01:44.239 --> 00:01:47.079 you look at it, you examine it, and you realize 33 00:01:47.159 --> 00:01:51.439 that their pitching has been excellent this year, overall, the 34 00:01:51.519 --> 00:01:56.200 second best staff era in baseball. And it gets even 35 00:01:56.319 --> 00:01:59.239 better when they go to their bullpen. Their bullpen is 36 00:01:59.280 --> 00:02:04.400 the best in baseball with the lowest ELRA two fifty one. 37 00:02:04.879 --> 00:02:08.080 They have held opponents to the lowest batting average two 38 00:02:08.159 --> 00:02:11.599 oh five, and they have given up the least amount 39 00:02:11.680 --> 00:02:16.319 of home runs of any bullpen in baseball sixteen. Just 40 00:02:16.360 --> 00:02:19.240 to put that in context, the Dodger bullpen has given 41 00:02:19.319 --> 00:02:22.680 up thirty seven home runs this year. So they got 42 00:02:22.719 --> 00:02:26.759 a great start from Logan Web seven strong innings, allowed 43 00:02:26.840 --> 00:02:29.319 just two hits, one of them a solo home run 44 00:02:29.360 --> 00:02:32.840 to ta Oscar Hernandez. Who oh, by the way, had 45 00:02:32.840 --> 00:02:36.439 the only two hits the Dodgers collected tonight. The rest 46 00:02:36.479 --> 00:02:41.400 of the team a combined ZHO for twenty four. What 47 00:02:41.439 --> 00:02:44.479 this tells me is, and I got something else to 48 00:02:44.520 --> 00:02:48.439 back this up. The Giants are coming to La to 49 00:02:48.560 --> 00:02:52.800 prove they belong, to prove that, yes, we are for real. 50 00:02:53.719 --> 00:02:57.280 The Dodgers are the defending champions. They're at the very 51 00:02:57.360 --> 00:03:00.319 top of the mountain. We all know how how much 52 00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:06.000 talent they have. We all know how much teams envy them. 53 00:03:06.360 --> 00:03:09.879 The Giants, who have had a horrible last few years 54 00:03:09.919 --> 00:03:14.400 after twenty twenty one, all of a sudden now believe 55 00:03:14.639 --> 00:03:19.039 they belong in the NL West, and they came to 56 00:03:19.159 --> 00:03:23.960 Dodgers Stadium tonight wanting to prove it. The Dodgers are 57 00:03:24.080 --> 00:03:28.360 the measuring stick. The Giants wanted to show the Dodgers 58 00:03:28.400 --> 00:03:31.639 that we're not going away and we belong on the 59 00:03:31.680 --> 00:03:35.199 same field with you, to prove that. Just to put 60 00:03:35.240 --> 00:03:39.319 it in context, tonight's starter, Logan Webb, he had only 61 00:03:39.439 --> 00:03:43.560 hit ninety five miles an hour on his fastball four 62 00:03:44.120 --> 00:03:50.400 times in his past fourteen starts. Tonight he hit ninety 63 00:03:50.439 --> 00:03:55.199 five three different times. He almost equaled the amount of 64 00:03:55.240 --> 00:03:59.439 times he maxed out on his fastball in this game tonight. 65 00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:03.800 That just shows you how badly the Giants want to 66 00:04:03.919 --> 00:04:08.520 prove that they belong with the Dodgers. I'm still not 67 00:04:08.680 --> 00:04:12.120 buying it, but I'm the same guy that predicted a 68 00:04:12.199 --> 00:04:15.360 serious sweep and now I owe Pepe and Ningez in 69 00:04:15.400 --> 00:04:19.040 the Spanish booth tacos before the home stand is over. 70 00:04:19.959 --> 00:04:25.720 So I'm that guy. But the Dodger offense just was nonexistent. 71 00:04:25.879 --> 00:04:29.920 Yamamoto a poor performance tonight. We all thought he was 72 00:04:29.959 --> 00:04:32.839 gonna go toe to toe and out pitch Logan Webb. 73 00:04:33.519 --> 00:04:37.279 It could be further from the truth. After what happened tonight. 74 00:04:37.360 --> 00:04:41.319 Yamamoto one hundred and two pitches gave up five earned runs, 75 00:04:41.399 --> 00:04:45.399 including a grand slam to Casey Schmidt. Casey Schmidt's the 76 00:04:45.480 --> 00:04:48.199 same guy that is taking over third base from Matt 77 00:04:48.279 --> 00:04:52.439 Chapman after Matt Chapman injured his right hand and is 78 00:04:52.480 --> 00:04:55.759 out for a month. Casey Schmidt is the same guy 79 00:04:56.240 --> 00:05:00.160 that made a very costly aira yesterday that cost the 80 00:05:00.199 --> 00:05:03.959 Giants the game, and tonight he comes back and hits 81 00:05:03.959 --> 00:05:07.040 a ninety five fastball for a four hundred and twenty 82 00:05:07.079 --> 00:05:12.199 three foot grand slam. The first of his career. You 83 00:05:12.319 --> 00:05:14.800 have to wonder as well that third inning. By the way, 84 00:05:15.720 --> 00:05:19.240 I'm giving this win to Adam Beck. Adam Beck deserves 85 00:05:19.279 --> 00:05:22.279 a huge assist for the Giants winning this game and 86 00:05:22.319 --> 00:05:26.240 scoring five runs in that third inning. Both sides were 87 00:05:26.279 --> 00:05:29.480 not happy with the home played umpire tonight. It wasn't 88 00:05:29.600 --> 00:05:33.040 just the Dodgers Logan Webb was not happy with him. 89 00:05:33.480 --> 00:05:35.639 Beck seemed to settle down as the game went on. 90 00:05:35.720 --> 00:05:39.240 It seemed like Beck, you know, got a little nervous 91 00:05:39.360 --> 00:05:42.600 Dodgers Giants. He's only been a full time umpire since 92 00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:45.639 twenty twenty three, but he settled in. But in that 93 00:05:45.680 --> 00:05:50.240 third inning, he was calling pitches that were strikes balls. 94 00:05:50.720 --> 00:05:54.839 He was calling ball strikes on both sides, and I 95 00:05:54.920 --> 00:05:58.360 wonder if that shook Yamamoto and the guys on sports 96 00:05:58.399 --> 00:06:02.439 Net La Jerry Harriston and No mar Garciapara kind of 97 00:06:02.519 --> 00:06:07.759 suggested as well that maybe, just maybe Yamamoto also is 98 00:06:07.800 --> 00:06:11.959 tipping pitches, which he is no stranger to doing, considering 99 00:06:12.079 --> 00:06:15.000 last year he got a bigger glove because he felt 100 00:06:15.079 --> 00:06:18.399 like he was tipping. So all of those things baked 101 00:06:18.439 --> 00:06:22.560 into one inning led to three walks and a grand 102 00:06:22.639 --> 00:06:25.959 Slam and the Giants beating the Dodgers tonight six to two. 103 00:06:26.639 --> 00:06:29.480 But I'm not freaking out, so you don't freak out either. 104 00:06:29.959 --> 00:06:33.079 I got the Dodgers in the next two games. Kershaw. 105 00:06:33.399 --> 00:06:36.600 I know he has the best era of any pitcher 106 00:06:36.800 --> 00:06:39.920 up there in San Francisco, but he's pretty good here 107 00:06:39.920 --> 00:06:43.160 at Dodgers Stadium as well. Eight six six nine eight 108 00:06:43.279 --> 00:06:46.120 seven two five seventy is the phone number. Let's go 109 00:06:46.120 --> 00:06:49.199 out to Mission Viejo. Bill, you're on Dodger Talk. How 110 00:06:49.240 --> 00:06:49.800 you doing, Bill? 111 00:06:50.439 --> 00:06:50.879 Pretty good? 112 00:06:50.920 --> 00:06:53.120 Thanks for taking my call. So let's see. You got 113 00:06:53.120 --> 00:06:56.279 the backup third basement for the Giants. So who's only 114 00:06:56.319 --> 00:06:59.079 had two home runs all year including this one? And 115 00:06:59.120 --> 00:07:02.040 then you've got a catcher in the ninth position that 116 00:07:02.160 --> 00:07:06.040 hits a home run and they accounted for like eighty 117 00:07:06.079 --> 00:07:09.360 percent of the Giants runs tonight. So yeah, I don't 118 00:07:09.360 --> 00:07:11.920 think that this is kind of more fluky than it's regular, 119 00:07:12.000 --> 00:07:12.279 you know. 120 00:07:14.079 --> 00:07:16.399 I guess, so, I guess. So, I mean, I'm still 121 00:07:16.439 --> 00:07:21.000 not sold. If the Giants can continue to pitch this way, 122 00:07:21.720 --> 00:07:25.240 I mean, tip of the cap to them. I would 123 00:07:25.319 --> 00:07:27.519 love to see whether or not they can keep this 124 00:07:27.680 --> 00:07:31.600 going all season long. But we are halfway through June 125 00:07:32.079 --> 00:07:34.720 and they are now tied with the Dodgers for first 126 00:07:34.720 --> 00:07:38.839 place in the NL West forty one twenty nine. Let's 127 00:07:38.839 --> 00:07:42.680 see if they can keep this going. I'm still not sold. 128 00:07:43.040 --> 00:07:45.560 Let's go out to Salt Lake City. Dawson. You're on 129 00:07:45.680 --> 00:07:47.199 Dodger Talk. How you doing, Dawson. 130 00:07:48.680 --> 00:07:52.079 I'm doing good, David ru I'm doing great. 131 00:07:52.199 --> 00:07:55.000 Listening on the iHeartRadio app out there, Dawson. 132 00:07:55.560 --> 00:07:56.560 I am, Yeah. 133 00:07:56.600 --> 00:07:59.120 All the boy from Utah? 134 00:07:59.199 --> 00:08:01.560 All right? Love it? What do you have on tonight's game? 135 00:08:01.600 --> 00:08:03.759 Are you freaking out or are you staying calm like 136 00:08:03.839 --> 00:08:04.240 I am. 137 00:08:06.160 --> 00:08:08.120 I'm staying calm. I have us in the next two 138 00:08:08.160 --> 00:08:13.519 games as well. I just wanted to talk about them. 139 00:08:15.279 --> 00:08:17.839 But yeah, you can't blame him, though. 140 00:08:20.720 --> 00:08:23.920 I can't blame him. I am blaming Yes, I can 141 00:08:24.120 --> 00:08:27.519 blame him, and I will blame him. 142 00:08:27.639 --> 00:08:28.040 I don't know. 143 00:08:28.240 --> 00:08:30.560 I think it went both ways with Web as well, 144 00:08:30.759 --> 00:08:34.080 But either way, the momentum. 145 00:08:33.759 --> 00:08:38.399 Doesn't make it right. Hey anyway, Dawson, I'll say this, 146 00:08:38.679 --> 00:08:40.720 you listen to the show a lot. I assume, right 147 00:08:40.960 --> 00:08:44.000 if you're calling you from Salt Lake City, so you 148 00:08:44.159 --> 00:08:47.759 know I'm not that guy that when the Dodgers lose 149 00:08:48.080 --> 00:08:51.120 or things don't go their way. I'm not pointing the 150 00:08:51.240 --> 00:08:53.840 finger at the umpires. I have a lot of respect 151 00:08:53.840 --> 00:08:56.720 for the umpires. In fact, I love umpires. I love 152 00:08:56.799 --> 00:08:59.000 them even more after Jim Wolfe told me I look 153 00:08:59.080 --> 00:09:01.840 great and younger than my age the other day in 154 00:09:01.879 --> 00:09:05.159 Saint Louis, So I'm a big umpire guy. We have 155 00:09:05.279 --> 00:09:08.840 Brian Gorman on the pregame show last Home Stand as well. 156 00:09:09.240 --> 00:09:12.039 Phil Cuzy, I've had him on the show, so you know, 157 00:09:12.840 --> 00:09:16.200 I'm pro umpire and I don't point the finger at 158 00:09:16.240 --> 00:09:22.279 them for Dodger losses. But that third inning was egregious. 159 00:09:22.600 --> 00:09:25.240 I agree, I agree, I take it back for sure. 160 00:09:25.480 --> 00:09:31.600 But yeah, the moment, okay, I just feel like we 161 00:09:31.600 --> 00:09:35.919 didn't have any momentum. Chaosta provided the energy. But I 162 00:09:36.000 --> 00:09:40.879 really loved Robki Robleski in the emotion. He showed I 163 00:09:40.879 --> 00:09:43.559 think five strikeouts now walk that looked a lot different, 164 00:09:43.600 --> 00:09:46.600 and I think that's what he's had as of late. 165 00:09:47.679 --> 00:09:51.240 Yeah, Robleski was good tonight. He basically kept the score 166 00:09:51.320 --> 00:09:53.600 where it was. He did give up a solo home 167 00:09:53.679 --> 00:09:56.919 run to Andrew Kinsner. Andy Paez, by the way, made 168 00:09:56.919 --> 00:09:59.720 a great effort, but just was out of his reach. 169 00:09:59.840 --> 00:10:03.200 But yeah, Robleski was great tonight four and a third innings, 170 00:10:03.240 --> 00:10:06.279 only gave up that solo home run to Kinsner, And 171 00:10:06.960 --> 00:10:09.960 you know, I'm not opposed to keeping a long guy 172 00:10:10.000 --> 00:10:14.639 in the bullpen. Robleski forced five strikeouts, no walks. That's 173 00:10:14.679 --> 00:10:16.879 what he's got to do. And the Dodgers have been 174 00:10:17.279 --> 00:10:21.279 holding him since that middle game in San Diego because 175 00:10:21.320 --> 00:10:24.679 they started Ben Casparius in that game. It was close, 176 00:10:24.759 --> 00:10:27.919 so they went to the high leverage relievers held Robleski 177 00:10:28.080 --> 00:10:30.559 back for the next time. Things may have got a 178 00:10:30.559 --> 00:10:33.759 little bit out of hand as far as them not 179 00:10:33.919 --> 00:10:36.840 having the lead and being down by four runs. You 180 00:10:36.919 --> 00:10:40.240 gotta have pictures that can come in in those situations. 181 00:10:40.600 --> 00:10:43.840 You can't run out Kopek and Yates and Tanner, Scott 182 00:10:43.879 --> 00:10:47.200 and Vesia when you're down four runs, if you're going 183 00:10:47.240 --> 00:10:50.159 to use them when you're up three runs. That's just 184 00:10:50.200 --> 00:10:52.720 not how it works. And that's the reason why I 185 00:10:52.759 --> 00:10:56.080 was surprised by the Padres just running out their high 186 00:10:56.200 --> 00:10:59.120 leverage relievers in that series, even when they were down 187 00:10:59.240 --> 00:11:02.840 or they were tied tied at home. I can understand, 188 00:11:02.879 --> 00:11:05.600 but they were down in that final game, and they're 189 00:11:05.679 --> 00:11:08.919 running out guys like Jason Adam. That was surprising and 190 00:11:09.080 --> 00:11:13.159 is not sustainable. Adrian Morohane another one of their guys. 191 00:11:13.159 --> 00:11:17.480 So I'm still not sold the Padres and Giants can 192 00:11:17.559 --> 00:11:21.919 keep this going throughout the year. And Ken Rosenthal, who 193 00:11:22.000 --> 00:11:24.399 was on the show yesterday, one of the best insiders 194 00:11:24.440 --> 00:11:27.879 in baseball, said Buster Posey's gonna go for it. If 195 00:11:27.879 --> 00:11:30.759 they're in it, if they're close, he's going for it. 196 00:11:30.960 --> 00:11:34.639 He's gonna go for the top of the market players 197 00:11:34.679 --> 00:11:37.879 to try to push the Dodgers and at the very 198 00:11:37.960 --> 00:11:41.120 least get in as a wildcard. Eight six sixne eight 199 00:11:41.240 --> 00:11:45.240 seven two five seventy is the phone number. Dodgers fall 200 00:11:45.279 --> 00:11:48.279 to the Giants tonight, six to two. Let's go out 201 00:11:48.320 --> 00:11:51.120 to Matt in Thousand Oaks. You're on Dodger Talk with 202 00:11:51.240 --> 00:11:52.200 David vasse Hi. 203 00:11:52.240 --> 00:11:55.200 Matt, Hey, David, how's it going, Man? 204 00:11:56.480 --> 00:11:58.759 I don't like losing to the Giants, and I don't 205 00:11:58.840 --> 00:12:01.720 like how they're not you know, they're finding weird ways 206 00:12:01.720 --> 00:12:03.240 to win games. 207 00:12:04.279 --> 00:12:07.279 It's kind of like they were in twenty one play out. 208 00:12:07.399 --> 00:12:08.240 That's what I don't like. 209 00:12:09.720 --> 00:12:11.960 Yeah, you know, I was going to talk about justin Robski, 210 00:12:12.000 --> 00:12:13.080 but I think you guys covered it. 211 00:12:14.399 --> 00:12:15.960 We'll go ahead, sing Us praises. 212 00:12:17.639 --> 00:12:20.759 I think I mean, obviously, to point out the obvious, 213 00:12:20.799 --> 00:12:23.039 we have probably a record amount of pitching on the 214 00:12:23.080 --> 00:12:24.840 injured list. I think it's just, all in all pretty 215 00:12:24.840 --> 00:12:26.679 impressive that we're still at the top of the division 216 00:12:27.320 --> 00:12:30.399 and looking forward to hearing those updates on the pitchers 217 00:12:30.440 --> 00:12:33.360 and hoping to get them back and you know, start 218 00:12:33.360 --> 00:12:37.080 winning some games consistently and with a full, full rotation. 219 00:12:38.720 --> 00:12:40.759 I love it, all right, Well, that's a great segue, 220 00:12:40.840 --> 00:12:43.759 because I will I will give you an update on that. 221 00:12:43.879 --> 00:12:46.159 We'll take a time out here on Dodgery Talk, and 222 00:12:46.200 --> 00:12:49.600 when we continue, you'll hear from Blake Trning.

Now, plus you'll hear from Ben Casparraus, 225 00:12:56.120 --> 00:12:59.360 who is transitioning back to being a starter. He was 226 00:12:59.399 --> 00:13:02.159 our guest on pregame show as well. And you also 227 00:13:02.200 --> 00:13:05.320 hear from Jose Modo. Jose will check in live after 228 00:13:05.360 --> 00:13:08.120 the Dodgers fall to the Giants tonight six to two 229 00:13:08.600 --> 00:13:10.639 on a five to seventy LA Sports. 230 00:13:16.120 --> 00:13:19.360 Dodger Talk is available on AM five seventy LA sports 231 00:13:19.399 --> 00:13:23.399 dot com and on the iHeartRadio app. Back to more 232 00:13:23.519 --> 00:13:28.320 Dodger talk with Dodger insider David Vasse to. 233 00:13:28.320 --> 00:13:31.240 The Oscar litz Ball high and deep to right failed 234 00:13:31.480 --> 00:13:34.519 this one headed back to the wall.

It's five to two as tay 236 00:13:41.519 --> 00:13:44.799 Oscar Rich's well home run of the season. 237 00:13:47.600 --> 00:13:52.120 Ti Oscar Hernandez never gives up on any game. Tonight, 238 00:13:52.519 --> 00:13:56.720 ti Oscar had all two hits for the Dodgers. That's right, 239 00:13:56.799 --> 00:14:00.440 ta Oscar Hernandez two for three, including that it's solo 240 00:14:00.600 --> 00:14:03.120 home run in the seventh inning off a Logan web. 241 00:14:03.440 --> 00:14:06.080 The rest of the Dodger lineup but combined zero for 242 00:14:06.240 --> 00:14:09.759 twenty four as the Giants defeat the Dodgers tonight by 243 00:14:09.799 --> 00:14:13.600 a final score of six to two.

Daniels Jewelers own the Dream eight sixty six 249 00:14:29.639 --> 00:14:33.360 nine to eighty seven. Two five seventy is the phone number. 250 00:14:33.720 --> 00:14:36.960 We do have an update on three key pitchers for 251 00:14:37.080 --> 00:14:40.480 the Dodgers. Tyler Glass now, who's been out with some 252 00:14:40.519 --> 00:14:44.960 shoulder discomfort. Actually, when I got here at Dodgers Stadium 253 00:14:45.080 --> 00:14:48.919 was throwing to hitters. He simulated one inning, So I 254 00:14:49.000 --> 00:14:52.039 know it's uh, it's not huge news, but it's a 255 00:14:52.159 --> 00:14:55.919 significant step in the right direction. And look, he's basically 256 00:14:55.960 --> 00:14:58.879 where a pitcher would be the first couple of weeks 257 00:14:58.879 --> 00:15:01.559 of spring training, so and that means he probably is 258 00:15:01.639 --> 00:15:03.399 not going to be ready to pitch in a game 259 00:15:03.440 --> 00:15:06.000 for the next three or four weeks, which would take 260 00:15:06.039 --> 00:15:08.399 you up close to the All Star break. Maybe he 261 00:15:08.480 --> 00:15:11.279 makes a start before the break. We'll have to wait 262 00:15:11.320 --> 00:15:14.080 and see. A guy that's a little bit behind Glass 263 00:15:14.080 --> 00:15:17.919 now is our guy, Blake Snell Bobblehead Night on Monday. 264 00:15:17.960 --> 00:15:21.519 By the way, Blake Snell threw a twenty pitch bullpen 265 00:15:21.720 --> 00:15:24.919 session today. He wanted to throw some change ups, but 266 00:15:24.960 --> 00:15:28.559 they played it safe, only fastballs, and he hit ninety 267 00:15:28.600 --> 00:15:32.840 two to ninety four in his bullpen session today. Also 268 00:15:33.000 --> 00:15:37.200 surprising to see Blake Trinon in his full batting practice 269 00:15:37.320 --> 00:15:40.919 uniform blue jersey white pants. He was out there getting 270 00:15:40.960 --> 00:15:43.159 after it, and we had a chance to talk to 271 00:15:43.200 --> 00:15:46.720 Blake Trinon about where he's at and if he's optimistic 272 00:15:46.840 --> 00:15:51.039 that this rehab comeback is going to work out, it's. 273 00:15:50.960 --> 00:15:52.960 Probably where it needs to be right now. And that's 274 00:15:52.960 --> 00:15:54.799 the best wagon word. It's not like me trying to 275 00:15:54.840 --> 00:15:56.720 tiptoe and throw you guys off. It's just really all 276 00:15:56.759 --> 00:15:58.919 I know is like, how I feel right now is 277 00:15:59.240 --> 00:16:01.360 right where it needs to be. On the bullpen, results 278 00:16:01.399 --> 00:16:04.480 today were really good, So just continuing to take each 279 00:16:04.559 --> 00:16:06.240 day one step at a time. The thing with like 280 00:16:06.279 --> 00:16:07.600 you got to view it as like a build up 281 00:16:07.600 --> 00:16:09.279 from spring training still, right, So like I'm kind of 282 00:16:09.320 --> 00:16:12.600 an off season bullpens realistically. 283 00:16:12.080 --> 00:16:13.080 Right, So. 284 00:16:15.039 --> 00:16:17.159 You're still letting it go, but the body still isn't 285 00:16:17.200 --> 00:16:19.320 quite moving how it would in a game, if that 286 00:16:19.360 --> 00:16:22.440 makes sense. So I got my efforts there. I would 287 00:16:22.480 --> 00:16:24.639 say I was a tick below max effort, you know, 288 00:16:24.960 --> 00:16:26.840 but it doesn't mean the results are showing what max 289 00:16:26.840 --> 00:16:29.759 effort is when I'm pitching in a game. So that's 290 00:16:29.759 --> 00:16:30.240 probably the. 291 00:16:30.159 --> 00:16:32.399 Best way I could word that. 292 00:16:33.679 --> 00:16:36.120 Hey, great job, Blake, try and I love the way 293 00:16:36.159 --> 00:16:39.240 you worded that and look, I wouldn't expect Blake trying 294 00:16:39.320 --> 00:16:41.919 to come back before the All Star break. In fact, 295 00:16:42.000 --> 00:16:45.600 Dave Roberts said that in his press conference earlier today 296 00:16:45.720 --> 00:16:49.000 that he doesn't expect trying to be back until after 297 00:16:49.039 --> 00:16:52.879 the All Star break, probably in August ish. But that's 298 00:16:52.919 --> 00:16:55.840 all good news that these guys are still moving forward 299 00:16:55.879 --> 00:16:59.120 and they haven't had any setbacks. Also, a guy that's 300 00:16:59.159 --> 00:17:02.159 coming back from Tommy John surgery from a year ago, 301 00:17:02.240 --> 00:17:06.279 that is more real to contribute before the break and 302 00:17:06.400 --> 00:17:09.079 maybe as soon as the next couple of weeks as 303 00:17:09.160 --> 00:17:13.799 Emmitt Shean. Emmit Shean yesterday pitched his third rehab game 304 00:17:13.839 --> 00:17:17.160 for Oklahoma City, and the Dodgers are kicking around the 305 00:17:17.240 --> 00:17:20.759 idea about whether or not Shea needs another rehab start 306 00:17:21.039 --> 00:17:26.359 or can he help the rotation maybe a six starter situation, 307 00:17:26.640 --> 00:17:31.279 considering that they have decided to have Ben Casparius move 308 00:17:31.400 --> 00:17:34.279 back to the starting role. I have said this for 309 00:17:34.319 --> 00:17:37.680 the last few weeks, even a month. Ben Casparius to me, 310 00:17:38.240 --> 00:17:41.880 has been the most valuable pitcher on this pitching staff. 311 00:17:42.279 --> 00:17:45.359 The way he's been able to be as nimble as 312 00:17:45.400 --> 00:17:49.400 he has been flexible to go from different roles, throw 313 00:17:49.519 --> 00:17:52.359 different amount of innings, throw different amount of pitches, and 314 00:17:52.400 --> 00:17:55.279 now the Dodgers are going to have him be a 315 00:17:55.319 --> 00:17:58.880 starting pitcher and he is on the five day routine. 316 00:17:59.240 --> 00:18:02.079 He joined us on the pregame show earlier today, and 317 00:18:02.160 --> 00:18:04.799 here's how he said his preparation changes. 318 00:18:05.279 --> 00:18:06.720 You know, I think the biggest thing is just you know, 319 00:18:06.759 --> 00:18:08.640 being able to throw a bullpen, you know, at least 320 00:18:08.680 --> 00:18:11.759 once a week, pretty structured, with a little bit more 321 00:18:11.759 --> 00:18:13.960 intent than what I would do, you know, getting ready 322 00:18:14.000 --> 00:18:15.880 for a game or trying to be hot every single 323 00:18:15.960 --> 00:18:19.279 night as a reliever, and obviously like a more structured 324 00:18:19.359 --> 00:18:21.839 plan in the weight room, in the training room, and 325 00:18:21.880 --> 00:18:23.880 then just being a little bit more independent in general, 326 00:18:23.920 --> 00:18:26.440 and just you know, listening to my body, knowing what 327 00:18:26.480 --> 00:18:28.200 I need to do in terms of like the throwing, 328 00:18:28.480 --> 00:18:30.000 the workload, you. 329 00:18:29.880 --> 00:18:31.319 Know, what I'm working on day to day. 330 00:18:31.359 --> 00:18:33.599 And then you know, just I've got one day a 331 00:18:33.640 --> 00:18:35.119 week to you know, go to work and you know, 332 00:18:35.200 --> 00:18:36.200 do what I can do to help us win. 333 00:18:36.599 --> 00:18:38.960 Ben other guys have tried to do this, but they 334 00:18:39.000 --> 00:18:43.400 haven't been successful because obviously it's challenging to go from 335 00:18:43.440 --> 00:18:46.279 being a reliever to being a starter. How have you 336 00:18:46.359 --> 00:18:49.480 been able to be as effective as you have been 337 00:18:49.559 --> 00:18:51.480 going back to last year's World Series. 338 00:18:52.119 --> 00:18:55.200 Yeah, I think it's just you know, staying present, focusing on, 339 00:18:55.680 --> 00:18:58.119 you know, one pitch at a time, you know, sticking 340 00:18:58.119 --> 00:18:59.920 to our game plan, whether it's you know, going out 341 00:19:00.000 --> 00:19:03.960 there to get three outs, if it's you know, six outs, eighteen, whatever, 342 00:19:04.000 --> 00:19:06.920 it is, just being present, you know, trusting will back 343 00:19:06.920 --> 00:19:10.200 there or Dalton, whoever it is, and just you know, 344 00:19:10.599 --> 00:19:12.920 you know, being open with the communication with our coaches 345 00:19:12.960 --> 00:19:14.400 and what we're trying to accomplish. 346 00:19:14.599 --> 00:19:17.640 Have they doubled down on the communication that yes, you 347 00:19:17.720 --> 00:19:20.440 are going to be the starter the next time your 348 00:19:20.519 --> 00:19:22.240 spot in the rotation comes around. 349 00:19:22.440 --> 00:19:25.160 Yeah, so I think, you know, sometime early next week, 350 00:19:25.200 --> 00:19:28.960 I'll probably be back out there as a starter. I'm 351 00:19:28.960 --> 00:19:31.960 looking forward to it. It's obviously, you know, a new 352 00:19:32.039 --> 00:19:33.960 role for me just in the big leagues, and you know, 353 00:19:34.079 --> 00:19:36.559 still being stretched out and getting to a normal pitch count, 354 00:19:36.559 --> 00:19:38.359 but it's a you know, a different type of challenge 355 00:19:38.400 --> 00:19:40.640 navigating a lineup three times through or whatever it is. 356 00:19:40.720 --> 00:19:43.920 And you know, I'm looking forward to it. And the 357 00:19:44.000 --> 00:19:46.920 reason why Ben Casparius is able to do that. You 358 00:19:47.000 --> 00:19:49.559 heard it in the tone of his voice. He's not 359 00:19:49.599 --> 00:19:54.680 only physically tough, he is mentally tough and appreciates and 360 00:19:54.759 --> 00:19:57.920 has gratitude that he's at the big league level. So 361 00:19:58.000 --> 00:20:01.440 he'll do whatever the Dodgers need to do. And it 362 00:20:01.519 --> 00:20:04.880 feels like for the foreseeable future, the Dodgers are going 363 00:20:04.880 --> 00:20:09.000 to need bank Casparius to be a starting pitcher up 364 00:20:09.079 --> 00:20:11.599 until the All Star break. And who knows, he may 365 00:20:11.720 --> 00:20:14.640 take this and run with it and never look back, 366 00:20:14.720 --> 00:20:18.319 and he may be permanently in this rotation depending on 367 00:20:18.400 --> 00:20:21.680 how he performs. But he has been so valuable to 368 00:20:21.720 --> 00:20:24.680 the Dodgers this year. And look glass Now and Snell 369 00:20:25.519 --> 00:20:28.920 probably not coming back until after the All Star break. 370 00:20:29.000 --> 00:20:31.680 Certainly Snell is not going to have enough time to 371 00:20:31.680 --> 00:20:35.279 build up before the All Star break. So there's a 372 00:20:35.400 --> 00:20:40.000 very good chance Casparius is a starting pitcher through the 373 00:20:40.079 --> 00:20:43.079 All Star break. So that's where things stand with the Dodgers. 374 00:20:43.119 --> 00:20:46.119 But things are looking good to get glass Now, Snell 375 00:20:46.319 --> 00:20:50.880 and Otani into your rotation post All Star break. That's 376 00:20:51.000 --> 00:20:53.960 to me is the difference between the Dodgers and the 377 00:20:54.000 --> 00:20:57.480 Giants and the Padres. The Dodgers just have so much depth. 378 00:20:57.759 --> 00:21:01.240 They're doing this being in first place with their starting 379 00:21:01.279 --> 00:21:04.079 staff and their bullpen for the better part of this 380 00:21:04.160 --> 00:21:07.640 season decimated by injuries. So what does that tell you? 381 00:21:08.119 --> 00:21:10.839 Eight six, six nine, eight seven two five seventy is 382 00:21:10.880 --> 00:21:14.000 the phone number Dodgers fall to the Giants tonight, six 383 00:21:14.119 --> 00:21:16.799 to two. Let's check in with our guy, Jose Mota. 384 00:21:17.440 --> 00:21:21.279 It's tough to go around the horn with Jose Mota. 385 00:21:22.680 --> 00:21:26.200 All right, Jose Mota, We've all been wondering in Los Angeles. 386 00:21:26.480 --> 00:21:29.599 How are the Giants doing it? How are they tied 387 00:21:29.640 --> 00:21:32.559 with the Dodgers in the NL West in the middle 388 00:21:32.599 --> 00:21:35.759 of June. What did we learn tonight about the Giants? 389 00:21:36.359 --> 00:21:38.920 Oh, they can pitch, and the Dodgers think about the 390 00:21:39.000 --> 00:21:41.920 last what four series going back to the Mets, Cardinals, Potters. 391 00:21:42.160 --> 00:21:45.599 Now this years against the Giants, it's the good pitching 392 00:21:45.640 --> 00:21:49.319 they're facing. And that's a bottom line. As you mentioned, 393 00:21:49.400 --> 00:21:50.880 I mean, they don't slug a lot, they don't run 394 00:21:50.960 --> 00:21:52.720 a lot. They found a way to win games, to 395 00:21:52.759 --> 00:21:55.960 win close ballgames, and they catch the ball. The Giants 396 00:21:55.960 --> 00:21:58.359 for a couple of years here going back with a 397 00:21:58.359 --> 00:22:00.160 team that was shooting themselves in the foot by not 398 00:22:00.200 --> 00:22:02.559 catching baseball's and making it so tough on their guys 399 00:22:02.559 --> 00:22:05.400 on the mound, But do you feel they work efficiently? 400 00:22:05.920 --> 00:22:08.440 They hit the corners at least tonight We saw it again. 401 00:22:08.720 --> 00:22:11.599
