Speaker 1: One thing about this gene is the invisible and tangibles
Speaker 1: that they have.
Speaker 2: This team is really becoming a family.
Speaker 1: Let's not play one on Tom. Let's I love writing me.
Speaker 3: These guys out to the show, So just thank.
Speaker 4: You give me are your attention, your fire and not
Speaker 4: a pisson.
Speaker 3: This is world champion, Dodger world championing for a small.
Speaker 5: Soft time they get up people what they want to.
Speaker 4: Die to in a row two is special. I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 4: it's not a headache as one of a con. This
Speaker 4: ball's gone. You ready to go?
Speaker 5: Hell time?
Speaker 3: Go to the sound grab your phone to get in
Speaker 3: on the show called eight six six nine eighty seven
Speaker 3: two five seven and go to the show. And now
Speaker 3: your host of Dodger Talk, David Vasse.
Speaker 4: Welcome to Dodger Talk. David vass with you until eleven
Speaker 4: o'clock tonight here on AM five to seventy LA Sports.
Speaker 4: The Dodgers fall to the Giants tonight if by a
Speaker 4: final score of six to two, we have a great
Speaker 4: show for you tonight. Despite the Dodgers losing the first
Speaker 4: game against the Giants. You'll hear from Blake Trinan, who
Speaker 4: is making his way back from a shoulder injury. You'll
Speaker 4: also get an update on Blake Snell and Tyler Glass
Speaker 4: now and also as far as image Shean goes, we
Speaker 4: also have an update on that. Jose Moto will check
Speaker 4: in as well. But as far as tonight's game goes,
Speaker 4: I was curious about this Giant's magic. I was wondering,
Speaker 4: how are they coming into the game tonight, just the
Speaker 4: game back of the Dodgers in the NL West. And
Speaker 4: you look at it, you examine it, and you realize
Speaker 4: that their pitching has been excellent this year, overall, the
Speaker 4: second best staff era in baseball. And it gets even
Speaker 4: better when they go to their bullpen. Their bullpen is
Speaker 4: the best in baseball with the lowest ELRA two fifty one.
Speaker 4: They have held opponents to the lowest batting average two
Speaker 4: oh five, and they have given up the least amount
Speaker 4: of home runs of any bullpen in baseball sixteen. Just
Speaker 4: to put that in context, the Dodger bullpen has given
Speaker 4: up thirty seven home runs this year. So they got
Speaker 4: a great start from Logan Web seven strong innings, allowed
Speaker 4: just two hits, one of them a solo home run
Speaker 4: to ta Oscar Hernandez. Who oh, by the way, had
Speaker 4: the only two hits the Dodgers collected tonight. The rest
Speaker 4: of the team a combined ZHO for twenty four. What
Speaker 4: this tells me is, and I got something else to
Speaker 4: back this up. The Giants are coming to La to
Speaker 4: prove they belong, to prove that, yes, we are for real.
Speaker 4: The Dodgers are the defending champions. They're at the very
Speaker 4: top of the mountain. We all know how how much
Speaker 4: talent they have. We all know how much teams envy them.
Speaker 4: The Giants, who have had a horrible last few years
Speaker 4: after twenty twenty one, all of a sudden now believe
Speaker 4: they belong in the NL West, and they came to
Speaker 4: Dodgers Stadium tonight wanting to prove it. The Dodgers are
Speaker 4: the measuring stick. The Giants wanted to show the Dodgers
Speaker 4: that we're not going away and we belong on the
Speaker 4: same field with you, to prove that. Just to put
Speaker 4: it in context, tonight's starter, Logan Webb, he had only
Speaker 4: hit ninety five miles an hour on his fastball four
Speaker 4: times in his past fourteen starts. Tonight he hit ninety
Speaker 4: five three different times. He almost equaled the amount of
Speaker 4: times he maxed out on his fastball in this game tonight.
Speaker 4: That just shows you how badly the Giants want to
Speaker 4: prove that they belong with the Dodgers. I'm still not
Speaker 4: buying it, but I'm the same guy that predicted a
Speaker 4: serious sweep and now I owe Pepe and Ningez in
Speaker 4: the Spanish booth tacos before the home stand is over.
Speaker 4: So I'm that guy. But the Dodger offense just was nonexistent.
Speaker 4: Yamamoto a poor performance tonight. We all thought he was
Speaker 4: gonna go toe to toe and out pitch Logan Webb.
Speaker 4: It could be further from the truth. After what happened tonight.
Speaker 4: Yamamoto one hundred and two pitches gave up five earned runs,
Speaker 4: including a grand slam to Casey Schmidt. Casey Schmidt's the
Speaker 4: same guy that is taking over third base from Matt
Speaker 4: Chapman after Matt Chapman injured his right hand and is
Speaker 4: out for a month. Casey Schmidt is the same guy
Speaker 4: that made a very costly aira yesterday that cost the
Speaker 4: Giants the game, and tonight he comes back and hits
Speaker 4: a ninety five fastball for a four hundred and twenty
Speaker 4: three foot grand slam. The first of his career. You
Speaker 4: have to wonder as well that third inning. By the way,
Speaker 4: I'm giving this win to Adam Beck. Adam Beck deserves
Speaker 4: a huge assist for the Giants winning this game and
Speaker 4: scoring five runs in that third inning. Both sides were
Speaker 4: not happy with the home played umpire tonight. It wasn't
Speaker 4: just the Dodgers Logan Webb was not happy with him.
Speaker 4: Beck seemed to settle down as the game went on.
Speaker 4: It seemed like Beck, you know, got a little nervous
Speaker 4: Dodgers Giants. He's only been a full time umpire since
Speaker 4: twenty twenty three, but he settled in. But in that
Speaker 4: third inning, he was calling pitches that were strikes balls.
Speaker 4: He was calling ball strikes on both sides, and I
Speaker 4: wonder if that shook Yamamoto and the guys on sports
Speaker 4: Net La Jerry Harriston and No mar Garciapara kind of
Speaker 4: suggested as well that maybe, just maybe Yamamoto also is
Speaker 4: tipping pitches, which he is no stranger to doing, considering
Speaker 4: last year he got a bigger glove because he felt
Speaker 4: like he was tipping. So all of those things baked
Speaker 4: into one inning led to three walks and a grand
Speaker 4: Slam and the Giants beating the Dodgers tonight six to two.
Speaker 4: But I'm not freaking out, so you don't freak out either.
Speaker 4: I got the Dodgers in the next two games. Kershaw.
Speaker 4: I know he has the best era of any pitcher
Speaker 4: up there in San Francisco, but he's pretty good here
Speaker 4: at Dodgers Stadium as well. Eight six six nine eight
Speaker 4: seven two five seventy is the phone number. Let's go
Speaker 4: out to Mission Viejo. Bill, you're on Dodger Talk. How
Speaker 4: you doing, Bill?
Speaker 1: Pretty good?
Speaker 6: Thanks for taking my call. So let's see. You got
Speaker 6: the backup third basement for the Giants. So who's only
Speaker 6: had two home runs all year including this one? And
Speaker 6: then you've got a catcher in the ninth position that
Speaker 6: hits a home run and they accounted for like eighty
Speaker 6: percent of the Giants runs tonight. So yeah, I don't
Speaker 6: think that this is kind of more fluky than it's regular,
Speaker 6: you know.
Speaker 4: I guess, so, I guess. So, I mean, I'm still
Speaker 4: not sold. If the Giants can continue to pitch this way,
Speaker 4: I mean, tip of the cap to them. I would
Speaker 4: love to see whether or not they can keep this
Speaker 4: going all season long. But we are halfway through June
Speaker 4: and they are now tied with the Dodgers for first
Speaker 4: place in the NL West forty one twenty nine. Let's
Speaker 4: see if they can keep this going. I'm still not sold.
Speaker 4: Let's go out to Salt Lake City. Dawson. You're on
Speaker 4: Dodger Talk. How you doing, Dawson.
Speaker 1: I'm doing good, David ru I'm doing great.
Speaker 4: Listening on the iHeartRadio app out there, Dawson.
Speaker 2: I am, Yeah.
Speaker 7: All the boy from Utah?
Speaker 4: All right? Love it? What do you have on tonight's game?
Speaker 4: Are you freaking out or are you staying calm like
Speaker 4: I am.
Speaker 8: I'm staying calm. I have us in the next two
Speaker 8: games as well. I just wanted to talk about them.
Speaker 8: But yeah, you can't blame him, though.
Speaker 4: I can't blame him. I am blaming Yes, I can
Speaker 4: blame him, and I will blame him.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 8: I think it went both ways with Web as well,
Speaker 8: But either way, the momentum.
Speaker 4: Doesn't make it right. Hey anyway, Dawson, I'll say this,
Speaker 4: you listen to the show a lot. I assume, right
Speaker 4: if you're calling you from Salt Lake City, so you
Speaker 4: know I'm not that guy that when the Dodgers lose
Speaker 4: or things don't go their way. I'm not pointing the
Speaker 4: finger at the umpires. I have a lot of respect
Speaker 4: for the umpires. In fact, I love umpires. I love
Speaker 4: them even more after Jim Wolfe told me I look
Speaker 4: great and younger than my age the other day in
Speaker 4: Saint Louis, So I'm a big umpire guy. We have
Speaker 4: Brian Gorman on the pregame show last Home Stand as well.
Speaker 4: Phil Cuzy, I've had him on the show, so you know,
Speaker 4: I'm pro umpire and I don't point the finger at
Speaker 4: them for Dodger losses. But that third inning was egregious.
Speaker 8: I agree, I agree, I take it back for sure.
Speaker 8: But yeah, the moment, okay, I just feel like we
Speaker 8: didn't have any momentum. Chaosta provided the energy. But I
Speaker 8: really loved Robki Robleski in the emotion. He showed I
Speaker 8: think five strikeouts now walk that looked a lot different,
Speaker 8: and I think that's what he's had as of late.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Robleski was good tonight. He basically kept the score
Speaker 4: where it was. He did give up a solo home
Speaker 4: run to Andrew Kinsner. Andy Paez, by the way, made
Speaker 4: a great effort, but just was out of his reach.
Speaker 4: But yeah, Robleski was great tonight four and a third innings,
Speaker 4: only gave up that solo home run to Kinsner, And
Speaker 4: you know, I'm not opposed to keeping a long guy
Speaker 4: in the bullpen. Robleski forced five strikeouts, no walks. That's
Speaker 4: what he's got to do. And the Dodgers have been
Speaker 4: holding him since that middle game in San Diego because
Speaker 4: they started Ben Casparius in that game. It was close,
Speaker 4: so they went to the high leverage relievers held Robleski
Speaker 4: back for the next time. Things may have got a
Speaker 4: little bit out of hand as far as them not
Speaker 4: having the lead and being down by four runs. You
Speaker 4: gotta have pictures that can come in in those situations.
Speaker 4: You can't run out Kopek and Yates and Tanner, Scott
Speaker 4: and Vesia when you're down four runs, if you're going
Speaker 4: to use them when you're up three runs. That's just
Speaker 4: not how it works. And that's the reason why I
Speaker 4: was surprised by the Padres just running out their high
Speaker 4: leverage relievers in that series, even when they were down
Speaker 4: or they were tied tied at home. I can understand,
Speaker 4: but they were down in that final game, and they're
Speaker 4: running out guys like Jason Adam. That was surprising and
Speaker 4: is not sustainable. Adrian Morohane another one of their guys.
Speaker 4: So I'm still not sold the Padres and Giants can
Speaker 4: keep this going throughout the year. And Ken Rosenthal, who
Speaker 4: was on the show yesterday, one of the best insiders
Speaker 4: in baseball, said Buster Posey's gonna go for it. If
Speaker 4: they're in it, if they're close, he's going for it.
Speaker 4: He's gonna go for the top of the market players
Speaker 4: to try to push the Dodgers and at the very
Speaker 4: least get in as a wildcard. Eight six sixne eight
Speaker 4: seven two five seventy is the phone number. Dodgers fall
Speaker 4: to the Giants tonight, six to two. Let's go out
Speaker 4: to Matt in Thousand Oaks. You're on Dodger Talk with
Speaker 4: David vasse Hi.
Speaker 7: Matt, Hey, David, how's it going, Man?
Speaker 4: I don't like losing to the Giants, and I don't
Speaker 4: like how they're not you know, they're finding weird ways
Speaker 4: to win games.
Speaker 7: It's kind of like they were in twenty one play out.
Speaker 4: That's what I don't like.
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, I was going to talk about justin Robski,
Speaker 7: but I think you guys covered it.
Speaker 4: We'll go ahead, sing Us praises.
Speaker 7: I think I mean, obviously, to point out the obvious,
Speaker 7: we have probably a record amount of pitching on the
Speaker 7: injured list. I think it's just, all in all pretty
Speaker 7: impressive that we're still at the top of the division
Speaker 7: and looking forward to hearing those updates on the pitchers
Speaker 7: and hoping to get them back and you know, start
Speaker 7: winning some games consistently and with a full, full rotation.
Speaker 4: I love it, all right, Well, that's a great segue,
Speaker 4: because I will I will give you an update on that.
Speaker 4: We'll take a time out here on Dodgery Talk, and
Speaker 4: when we continue, you'll hear from Blake Trning. We'll give
Speaker 4: you an update on what happened today with Blake Snell
Speaker 4: and Tyler Glass. Now, plus you'll hear from Ben Casparraus,
Speaker 4: who is transitioning back to being a starter. He was
Speaker 4: our guest on pregame show as well. And you also
Speaker 4: hear from Jose Modo. Jose will check in live after
Speaker 4: the Dodgers fall to the Giants tonight six to two
Speaker 4: on a five to seventy LA Sports.
Speaker 5: Dodger Talk is available on AM five seventy LA sports
Speaker 5: dot com and on the iHeartRadio app. Back to more
Speaker 5: Dodger talk with Dodger insider David Vasse to.
Speaker 9: The Oscar litz Ball high and deep to right failed
Speaker 9: this one headed back to the wall. Gone a harder
Speaker 9: on tay Oscar Hernandez. It's five to two as tay
Speaker 9: Oscar Rich's well home run of the season.
Speaker 4: Ti Oscar Hernandez never gives up on any game. Tonight,
Speaker 4: ti Oscar had all two hits for the Dodgers. That's right,
Speaker 4: ta Oscar Hernandez two for three, including that it's solo
Speaker 4: home run in the seventh inning off a Logan web.
Speaker 4: The rest of the Dodger lineup but combined zero for
Speaker 4: twenty four as the Giants defeat the Dodgers tonight by
Speaker 4: a final score of six to two. Daniels Jewelers they
Speaker 4: present the home run forecast. Go to AM five to
Speaker 4: seventy LA sports dot Com. Use the keyword home run
Speaker 4: for your chance to win a fifty dollars Daniels Jewelers
Speaker 4: give card predicting the number of home runs in the
Speaker 4: next game. Daniels Jewelers own the Dream eight sixty six
Speaker 4: nine to eighty seven. Two five seventy is the phone number.
Speaker 4: We do have an update on three key pitchers for
Speaker 4: the Dodgers. Tyler Glass now, who's been out with some
Speaker 4: shoulder discomfort. Actually, when I got here at Dodgers Stadium
Speaker 4: was throwing to hitters. He simulated one inning, So I
Speaker 4: know it's uh, it's not huge news, but it's a
Speaker 4: significant step in the right direction. And look, he's basically
Speaker 4: where a pitcher would be the first couple of weeks
Speaker 4: of spring training, so and that means he probably is
Speaker 4: not going to be ready to pitch in a game
Speaker 4: for the next three or four weeks, which would take
Speaker 4: you up close to the All Star break. Maybe he
Speaker 4: makes a start before the break. We'll have to wait
Speaker 4: and see. A guy that's a little bit behind Glass
Speaker 4: now is our guy, Blake Snell Bobblehead Night on Monday.
Speaker 4: By the way, Blake Snell threw a twenty pitch bullpen
Speaker 4: session today. He wanted to throw some change ups, but
Speaker 4: they played it safe, only fastballs, and he hit ninety
Speaker 4: two to ninety four in his bullpen session today. Also
Speaker 4: surprising to see Blake Trinon in his full batting practice
Speaker 4: uniform blue jersey white pants. He was out there getting
Speaker 4: after it, and we had a chance to talk to
Speaker 4: Blake Trinon about where he's at and if he's optimistic
Speaker 4: that this rehab comeback is going to work out, it's.
Speaker 10: Probably where it needs to be right now. And that's
Speaker 10: the best wagon word. It's not like me trying to
Speaker 10: tiptoe and throw you guys off. It's just really all
Speaker 10: I know is like, how I feel right now is
Speaker 10: right where it needs to be. On the bullpen, results
Speaker 10: today were really good, So just continuing to take each
Speaker 10: day one step at a time. The thing with like
Speaker 10: you got to view it as like a build up
Speaker 10: from spring training still, right, So like I'm kind of
Speaker 10: an off season bullpens realistically.
Speaker 4: Right, So.
Speaker 10: You're still letting it go, but the body still isn't
Speaker 10: quite moving how it would in a game, if that
Speaker 10: makes sense. So I got my efforts there. I would
Speaker 10: say I was a tick below max effort, you know,
Speaker 10: but it doesn't mean the results are showing what max
Speaker 10: effort is when I'm pitching in a game. So that's
Speaker 10: probably the.
Speaker 2: Best way I could word that.
Speaker 4: Hey, great job, Blake, try and I love the way
Speaker 4: you worded that and look, I wouldn't expect Blake trying
Speaker 4: to come back before the All Star break. In fact,
Speaker 4: Dave Roberts said that in his press conference earlier today
Speaker 4: that he doesn't expect trying to be back until after
Speaker 4: the All Star break, probably in August ish. But that's
Speaker 4: all good news that these guys are still moving forward
Speaker 4: and they haven't had any setbacks. Also, a guy that's
Speaker 4: coming back from Tommy John surgery from a year ago,
Speaker 4: that is more real to contribute before the break and
Speaker 4: maybe as soon as the next couple of weeks as
Speaker 4: Emmitt Shean. Emmit Shean yesterday pitched his third rehab game
Speaker 4: for Oklahoma City, and the Dodgers are kicking around the
Speaker 4: idea about whether or not Shea needs another rehab start
Speaker 4: or can he help the rotation maybe a six starter situation,
Speaker 4: considering that they have decided to have Ben Casparius move
Speaker 4: back to the starting role. I have said this for
Speaker 4: the last few weeks, even a month. Ben Casparius to me,
Speaker 4: has been the most valuable pitcher on this pitching staff.
Speaker 4: The way he's been able to be as nimble as
Speaker 4: he has been flexible to go from different roles, throw
Speaker 4: different amount of innings, throw different amount of pitches, and
Speaker 4: now the Dodgers are going to have him be a
Speaker 4: starting pitcher and he is on the five day routine.
Speaker 4: He joined us on the pregame show earlier today, and
Speaker 4: here's how he said his preparation changes.
Speaker 11: You know, I think the biggest thing is just you know,
Speaker 11: being able to throw a bullpen, you know, at least
Speaker 11: once a week, pretty structured, with a little bit more
Speaker 11: intent than what I would do, you know, getting ready
Speaker 11: for a game or trying to be hot every single
Speaker 11: night as a reliever, and obviously like a more structured
Speaker 11: plan in the weight room, in the training room, and
Speaker 11: then just being a little bit more independent in general,
Speaker 11: and just you know, listening to my body, knowing what
Speaker 11: I need to do in terms of like the throwing,
Speaker 11: the workload, you.
Speaker 2: Know, what I'm working on day to day.
Speaker 11: And then you know, just I've got one day a
Speaker 11: week to you know, go to work and you know,
Speaker 11: do what I can do to help us win.
Speaker 4: Ben other guys have tried to do this, but they
Speaker 4: haven't been successful because obviously it's challenging to go from
Speaker 4: being a reliever to being a starter. How have you
Speaker 4: been able to be as effective as you have been
Speaker 4: going back to last year's World Series.
Speaker 11: Yeah, I think it's just you know, staying present, focusing on,
Speaker 11: you know, one pitch at a time, you know, sticking
Speaker 11: to our game plan, whether it's you know, going out
Speaker 11: there to get three outs, if it's you know, six outs, eighteen, whatever,
Speaker 11: it is, just being present, you know, trusting will back
Speaker 11: there or Dalton, whoever it is, and just you know,
Speaker 11: you know, being open with the communication with our coaches
Speaker 11: and what we're trying to accomplish.
Speaker 4: Have they doubled down on the communication that yes, you
Speaker 4: are going to be the starter the next time your
Speaker 4: spot in the rotation comes around.
Speaker 11: Yeah, so I think, you know, sometime early next week,
Speaker 11: I'll probably be back out there as a starter. I'm
Speaker 11: looking forward to it. It's obviously, you know, a new
Speaker 11: role for me just in the big leagues, and you know,
Speaker 11: still being stretched out and getting to a normal pitch count,
Speaker 11: but it's a you know, a different type of challenge
Speaker 11: navigating a lineup three times through or whatever it is.
Speaker 4: And you know, I'm looking forward to it. And the
Speaker 4: reason why Ben Casparius is able to do that. You
Speaker 4: heard it in the tone of his voice. He's not
Speaker 4: only physically tough, he is mentally tough and appreciates and
Speaker 4: has gratitude that he's at the big league level. So
Speaker 4: he'll do whatever the Dodgers need to do. And it
Speaker 4: feels like for the foreseeable future, the Dodgers are going
Speaker 4: to need bank Casparius to be a starting pitcher up
Speaker 4: until the All Star break. And who knows, he may
Speaker 4: take this and run with it and never look back,
Speaker 4: and he may be permanently in this rotation depending on
Speaker 4: how he performs. But he has been so valuable to
Speaker 4: the Dodgers this year. And look glass Now and Snell
Speaker 4: probably not coming back until after the All Star break.
Speaker 4: Certainly Snell is not going to have enough time to
Speaker 4: build up before the All Star break. So there's a
Speaker 4: very good chance Casparius is a starting pitcher through the
Speaker 4: All Star break. So that's where things stand with the Dodgers.
Speaker 4: But things are looking good to get glass Now, Snell
Speaker 4: and Otani into your rotation post All Star break. That's
Speaker 4: to me is the difference between the Dodgers and the
Speaker 4: Giants and the Padres. The Dodgers just have so much depth.
Speaker 4: They're doing this being in first place with their starting
Speaker 4: staff and their bullpen for the better part of this
Speaker 4: season decimated by injuries. So what does that tell you?
Speaker 4: Eight six, six nine, eight seven two five seventy is
Speaker 4: the phone number Dodgers fall to the Giants tonight, six
Speaker 4: to two. Let's check in with our guy, Jose Mota.
Speaker 5: It's tough to go around the horn with Jose Mota.
Speaker 4: All right, Jose Mota, We've all been wondering in Los Angeles.
Speaker 4: How are the Giants doing it? How are they tied
Speaker 4: with the Dodgers in the NL West in the middle
Speaker 4: of June. What did we learn tonight about the Giants?
Speaker 2: Oh, they can pitch, and the Dodgers think about the
Speaker 2: last what four series going back to the Mets, Cardinals, Potters.
Speaker 2: Now this years against the Giants, it's the good pitching
Speaker 2: they're facing. And that's a bottom line. As you mentioned,
Speaker 2: I mean, they don't slug a lot, they don't run
Speaker 2: a lot. They found a way to win games, to
Speaker 2: win close ballgames, and they catch the ball. The Giants
Speaker 2: for a couple of years here going back with a
Speaker 2: team that was shooting themselves in the foot by not
Speaker 2: catching baseball's and making it so tough on their guys
Speaker 2: on the mound, But do you feel they work efficiently?
Speaker 2: They hit the corners at least tonight We saw it again.
Speaker 2: And the other answer is, which is even more more compliant,
Speaker 2: is the Dodgers have not played good baseball the last
Speaker 2: look three weeks or so last month. That's what the
Speaker 2: Giants are where they're at without the DODGERSLF being part
Speaker 2: of it too, Dave, there's no, no, no doubt about it, all.
Speaker 4: Right, Jose. Jerry Harriston Junior and Nomar on Sports and
Speaker 4: at LA hinted that they believe maybe Yamamoto was also
Speaker 4: tipping tonight. Do you believe he was tipping, especially in
Speaker 4: that third inning?
Speaker 2: They had something on him? Because I went back to
Speaker 2: last year in May when Louis Moto's have gotten off
Speaker 2: from Triple A and sat in a breaking ball first
Speaker 2: pitch and at three on home more against him in
Speaker 2: San Francisco, and I said, they have something on him.
Speaker 2: And then my other indication is, and obviously Norman knows
Speaker 2: a lot about hitting, Jerry knows. You know the game
Speaker 2: so well, Dave. The swings tell you something, but also
Speaker 2: the takes say even more about what they're looking for,
Speaker 2: what they're laying off of and what the best swings
Speaker 2: are putting on are happening, which counts. So in all
Speaker 2: of that, Yamamoto was not very good. He was you know,
Speaker 2: around the zone and they they said he was too fine.
Speaker 2: He was just erratic to me. I know, I never
Speaker 2: see yamotos throw like a slurf. I saw his slerve today,
Speaker 2: which is very unusual, meaning the angle was not right,
Speaker 2: lasting spot was not right. But certainly I know the
Speaker 2: Giants do have something on them because just going back
Speaker 2: to last season, I said, and just their takes in
Speaker 2: their swings.
Speaker 4: So they told me something that's very interesting. And all
Speaker 4: of that baked in with home plate umpire Adam Beck
Speaker 4: kind of being a little shaky the first three innings
Speaker 4: that made things really tough for Yamamoto.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I mean when you have two premier pictures
Speaker 2: on the mound and you see it combined seven walks
Speaker 2: and three innings, you know it's not the pictures only,
Speaker 2: So no doubt about it. As Nicol Horner told lump
Speaker 2: Or the day he was having a very bad day,
Speaker 2: Nico got by being smart and he was an argument
Speaker 2: balls and strikes and so you have a bad day.
Speaker 2: He got tossed by that. So that's a Stafford guy
Speaker 2: for you.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Stanford guy. They know a lot. They know more
Speaker 4: than all of us, at least they think they do.
Speaker 4: No offense to Tommy Hey, Jose Mota, Justin Robleski, what
Speaker 4: did he prove tonight as far as sticking around after
Speaker 4: coming in in relief for Yamamoto, Well.
Speaker 2: The valley that he has as a long reliever, and
Speaker 2: then the fact that Casparius joins the rotation by the way,
Speaker 2: very goghted with Casparrious and he can pretty much go
Speaker 2: on there and take that role. Had a long talk
Speaker 2: with Justin in San Diego and one of the things
Speaker 2: he was telling me is that sometimes he becomes way
Speaker 2: too cerebral on the mound and it's a detriment to him.
Speaker 2: And he's like, if I had a fast boat, obviously
Speaker 2: we saw it fast with ninety nine point five in
Speaker 2: Saint Louis. Still I still made two bad pitches. So
Speaker 2: he's not too cut up in this whole analytic thing
Speaker 2: about velocity. Was there, you made two pitches, So what
Speaker 2: it matters? He learned from kursh I mean, come on,
Speaker 2: he's got Kursher right there saying yeah, it was great,
Speaker 2: but we need to make a pitch, and to make
Speaker 2: a pitch, and he's so convinced by that, And today
Speaker 2: what I saw was an aggressive guy. Also the pace
Speaker 2: on my own, you see a lot of guys that
Speaker 2: almost were not ready to hit because he was just
Speaker 2: using that clock to the max, smartly getting guys off
Speaker 2: offset with their swings, not over using the breaking ball,
Speaker 2: and just going right after people. He showed all out
Speaker 2: today by trusting number one, the fast one ninety seven
Speaker 2: ninety eight.
Speaker 4: Jose. Not sure if you heard this, but I was
Speaker 4: pretty confident the Dodgers were not only going to win
Speaker 4: the series, but sweep the Giants. And I even told
Speaker 4: your partner Pepe and Ingas I would buy him tacos
Speaker 4: if the Giants won one game this series. So you
Speaker 4: might be having a nice meal one of these nights
Speaker 4: on the home stand.
Speaker 2: That means all of us. Okay, nice job, Paype, good
Speaker 2: job with negotiating that, Pepe.
Speaker 4: Yeah they forget that they want it for you. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 4: you can thank Casey Schmid too, send it, Send a
Speaker 4: taco down to Casey Schmid.
Speaker 2: So I guess we ought to thank Matt Chapman too
Speaker 2: for being out hurt too.
Speaker 4: Huh yeah, yeah, a great cal State Fullerton Titan.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you know what, they got to play better
Speaker 2: and continue to find a way to be good pitching. Obviously,
Speaker 2: you got to go out there and beat it like
Speaker 2: they score against whereby you know, a couple of walks
Speaker 2: to sack fly. Things like that need to happen more
Speaker 2: often for you to win this close ball games and
Speaker 2: hopefully have better performances on the mountain. Stone will curse tomorrow, It'll.
Speaker 4: Happen tomorrow, Kershaw Day, be ready for a Felice Sabado.
Speaker 2: I like it. I like I believe you, Thank.
Speaker 4: You, thank you. Uh, stay hungry, We'll see you soon.
Speaker 2: Wagu Sandwich next.
Speaker 4: Okay, thanks Ose, I'm not going that far. I do radio.
Speaker 4: Don't forget that. Eight six six nine eight seven two
Speaker 4: five seventy is the phone number. Great to see Jose
Speaker 4: Mota and Pepe and Ingez back at Dodger Stadium today,
Speaker 4: and also Luis Cochito Cruz. He's always glowing whenever where
Speaker 4: we come back from a road trip. All right, let's
Speaker 4: take one more call before we say good night. Jeff
Speaker 4: and Buena Park. You're on Dodger Talk.
Speaker 2: How you doing, Jeff, very good.
Speaker 1: So I just wanted to know if you know why,
Speaker 1: what why Dave doesn't change pictures when he feels like
Speaker 1: he should or when we feel like he should. I mean,
Speaker 1: just as an example, when they were playing the Padres
Speaker 1: the other night and he left sour and for I
Speaker 1: don't know, four to five six innings day? What four
Speaker 1: to five runs? I mean, you see this as an
Speaker 1: ongoing thing from season to season. Any any answer to that? Well?
Speaker 4: Can I can? I? Yeah, I can't answer it, and
Speaker 4: I feel like I have a pretty good answer for you, Jeff.
Speaker 4: The Dodgers were playing to win the series. It was unfortunate,
Speaker 4: and it wasn't comfortable to watch Matt Soer out there
Speaker 4: for one hundred and eleven pitches giving up nine runs.
Speaker 4: But everybody the next day was praising him because he
Speaker 4: saved the bullpen and the Dodgers were going to a
Speaker 4: bullpen game to try to win that series, which they
Speaker 4: ended up doing. Now tonight, when it comes to Yamamoto,
Speaker 4: he let him hang in there a little bit longer
Speaker 4: than I'm sure most of you have wanted, because he
Speaker 4: was trying to get five innings out of him with
Speaker 4: how many innings the Dodger bullpen has thrown this year.
Speaker 4: But you know, what is he gonna do? Take him
Speaker 4: out when there's bases loaded in the third inning. I
Speaker 4: don't think he's gonna do that, Jeff. But I feel
Speaker 4: like those are reasonable things and reasonable ways to manage
Speaker 4: when you're trying to win a season, not just one
Speaker 4: of one sixty two.
Speaker 1: I don't feel like it's reasonable when he does this
Speaker 1: constantly ongoing season to see another time, and every time
Speaker 1: he does it, we lose the game.
Speaker 4: He takes him out pretty early. That's why the Dodger
Speaker 4: bullpen has thrown more innings by a long shot than
Speaker 4: any other team in baseball.
Speaker 1: Jeff, guess her.
Speaker 4: Call me back next time. When it happens, tell me
Speaker 4: back and we'll discuss it that night too. Tomorrow, Clayton
Speaker 4: Kershaw will be on the mound. He's coming off his
Speaker 4: best start of the season in Saint Louis, where he
Speaker 4: won his first game of the year, going up against
Speaker 4: right hander Landon Roop, who is four and four with
Speaker 4: an ERA of three point twenty nine. We'll all find
Speaker 4: out how good this guy Landon Roup is tomorrow night
Speaker 4: as well. Morongo Casino Dodgers on Well you know who
Speaker 4: he is. Morongo Casino. Dodgers on Deck begins at six o'clock,
Speaker 4: first pitch at seven ten. Thanks to Colin Yee back
