Speaker 1: Dodger Talk is sponsored by LA Care Health Plan, providing
Speaker 1: affordable healthcare insurance to millions of Angelinos for over twenty
Speaker 1: five years.
Speaker 2: Welcome the Dodger Talk David Vasse with you until eight
Speaker 2: o'clock tonight here on AM five seventy LA Sports Game
Speaker 2: one of the NLDS will be at Dodgers Stadium this
Speaker 2: Saturday night, five point thirty eight. First pitch. It will
Speaker 2: likely be the Dodgers against the San Diego Padres, who
Speaker 2: are leading the Atlanta Braves right now five to two.
Speaker 2: San Diego can wrap it up tonight with a win,
Speaker 2: but as quickly as things can turn in a baseball game,
Speaker 2: a big blow for the San Diego Padres in the
Speaker 2: fourth inning when Joe musk Rove threw a pitch and
Speaker 2: then left the game with a trainer. It looked like
Speaker 2: he heard his elbow or his shoulder. That's not good
Speaker 2: news for Elkohane, Joe and the San Diego Padres. So
Speaker 2: that's where things stand in San Diego right now. A
Speaker 2: lot of momentum in the Padres way. But after Joe
Speaker 2: Musgrove had to leave this game in the fourth inning,
Speaker 2: Mike Shilt had to go to his bowlpen prematurely, and
Speaker 2: the Padres now maybe down for the rest of the postseason,
Speaker 2: and at least the NLDS without one of their big
Speaker 2: time starters in Joe Musgrove. If we get any news
Speaker 2: on the extent of that injury between now at eight o'clock,
Speaker 2: we will let you know. Also coming up on the
Speaker 2: show at seven point thirty, Adrian Gonzalez will join us,
Speaker 2: a man that played seven hundred and thirty five games
Speaker 2: with the Dodgers, seven hundred and ninety nine games with
Speaker 2: the Padres. But of course lt Ton is LA's adopted
Speaker 2: son now, so we'll hear from Adrian Gonzalez on what
Speaker 2: the challenges will be for Freddie Freeman to play first
Speaker 2: base on a bad right ankle, which he sprained the
Speaker 2: night the Dodgers clinched the nl West against those Sandy
Speaker 2: Diego Padres. And really, that's the story tonight, that's the
Speaker 2: story tomorrow, it's the story for the rest of the week,
Speaker 2: and it will be one of the big subplots for
Speaker 2: the entire NLDS and possibly moving forward. As one player
Speaker 2: told me in Denver, they believe firmly Freddie Freeman will
Speaker 2: play in Game one. They told me that Freddy's right
Speaker 2: ankle would have to be sawed off for Freddie Freeman
Speaker 2: not to play in the NLDS, but to what extent. Yeah,
Speaker 2: he'll be out there, and I'm sure he'll be able
Speaker 2: to hit to his front foot when he hits, But
Speaker 2: how is he going to run the bases? More importantly,
Speaker 2: how is he going to move laterally around the first
Speaker 2: base bag? And you know, the right foot as a
Speaker 2: right handed thrower is the foot that goes on the
Speaker 2: first base bag, So how is he going to navigate?
Speaker 2: Having to play the field thing is one thing. Playing
Speaker 2: the field and running the bases is something else. And
Speaker 2: earlier today Dave Roberts held a media zoom and I
Speaker 2: asked him what the condition of Freddie Freeman is.
Speaker 3: Indications are that it's a little bit better than it
Speaker 3: was a couple of days ago, but it's just hard
Speaker 3: to see a world where it's not limiting as far
Speaker 3: as on the basis.
Speaker 4: The lateral.
Speaker 3: So right now, I'm just going to remain optimistic and
Speaker 3: then you know, when we get to Friday and then
Speaker 3: obviously Saturday, then we'll kind of make decisions on you know,
Speaker 3: how he's used as far as in the game, but
Speaker 3: I still have all confidence that he's gonna be in
Speaker 3: the starting lineup.
Speaker 5: And Dave, I know it's early in the week, but
Speaker 5: have you noticed a different sense mentality amongst the players
Speaker 5: in preparation for this year's playoffs then you saw a
Speaker 5: year ago or two years ago.
Speaker 3: I do, I see. I see some more hunger, I
Speaker 3: see some more edge. I like that. And not to
Speaker 3: say that guys weren't prepared or trying or cared, but
Speaker 3: there's a different level of intensity and that kind of
Speaker 3: sour taste that you have when you make an early
Speaker 3: exit from the postseason. Our guys are tired of it,
Speaker 3: and so this is another opportunity. So yeah, Dave, I
Speaker 3: do sense that edge, which I love.
Speaker 2: All Right, that's good news from Dave Roberts as far
Speaker 2: as the focus, the hunger, the edge, as he said,
Speaker 2: the Dodger players have. They've been at Dodger Stadium the
Speaker 2: last two days watching these Padres and brace play each other.
Speaker 2: They've been out there working out in the gym, batting cages,
Speaker 2: et cetera. All that. And I mentioned this to Petros
Speaker 2: and Money earlier in the week, and it bears repeating
Speaker 2: the reason why I asked Dave Roberts that question about
Speaker 2: the prep option and the focus of the team is because,
Speaker 2: let's face it, the reality is, no matter how good
Speaker 2: the Dodgers individually were the last two regular seasons and
Speaker 2: how good they were record wise the last two years,
Speaker 2: winning one hundred games, they were swept out of the
Speaker 2: postseason last year and the Padres took him out in
Speaker 2: four games two years ago, those San Diego Padres. There's
Speaker 2: got to be a point where there's some self pride
Speaker 2: to redeem yourself from those last two years. And I
Speaker 2: know since the beginning of spring training Mookie Bets and
Speaker 2: Freddy Freeman have been talking about the fact they want
Speaker 2: redemption this October. Obviously, it's going to be a little
Speaker 2: bit more challenging for Freddie Freeman because of the right ankle,
Speaker 2: but Mooki Bets wants it badly. And as you know,
Speaker 2: before the final game against the Padres, Mooki Bets was
Speaker 2: a combined for eight, which prompted him to stand the
Speaker 2: batting cage for over an hour to take over four
Speaker 2: hundred swings. This guy wants it bad. This guy is
Speaker 2: locked in. Mookie Betts wants to silence you. He wants
Speaker 2: to silence me. He wants to silence anybody that criticized
Speaker 2: his postseason play the last two years, and honestly, it wasn't,
Speaker 2: you know, criticism that wasn't unwarranted. He didn't play well
Speaker 2: the last two years, and you felt like his investment
Speaker 2: wasn't one hundred percent in Also, when the Dodgers played
Speaker 2: the Padres two years ago, remember they handled the Padres.
Speaker 2: It was before the Padres really stood tall against them
Speaker 2: in the postseason that year and went on to the
Speaker 2: NLCS and done what they have done since then. It
Speaker 2: was the Dodgers in twenty twenty two that man handled
Speaker 2: the Padres in the regular season, and when they went
Speaker 2: down to San Diego, even after splitting the first two
Speaker 2: games in Los Angeles, they treated it like they would
Speaker 2: in a regular season setting, meaning the players drove their
Speaker 2: own cars with their own families and got to the
Speaker 2: team hotel at their own leisure league time. There was
Speaker 2: no team dinner. The first time, from what I understand
Speaker 2: talking to players on that team that they were all
Speaker 2: together in the same room was when they arrived at
Speaker 2: Peco Park for Game three of the NLDS. That's not
Speaker 2: the way playoffs happened for teams. You have a team dinner,
Speaker 2: you're around each other a lot. When you're traveling to
Speaker 2: a different city on an airplane, you're talking the game,
Speaker 2: you're really bonding with your teammates, and then going out
Speaker 2: for a player's only dinner. That did not take place
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty two. And I did mention this to
Speaker 2: Justin Turner and he agreed, Yeah, maybe we should have
Speaker 2: arranged for a players only bust down to San Diego. Well,
Speaker 2: I found out the Dodgers are going to do that
Speaker 2: if they play the Padres, which they probably aren's five
Speaker 2: to two right now. The Padres are too much for
Speaker 2: the Braves. I don't see them not closing it out tonight.
Speaker 2: So the Dodgers, as they get ready for the Padres
Speaker 2: for all intentsive purposes, I know the first two games
Speaker 2: are in LA but whether they're down oh two or
Speaker 2: up too oh, they're going down to San Diego together
Speaker 2: players only. Their families are going to take different means
Speaker 2: of transportation, which I love. And that's what Dave Roberts
Speaker 2: said to me on that Zoom. They're sacrificing time away
Speaker 2: from their families to get ready and focused for a
Speaker 2: playoff run. That's what you have to have, and the Dodgers,
Speaker 2: quite frankly, haven't had that the last two years, being
Speaker 2: in Arizona and San Diego. That was missing, and it
Speaker 2: feels like that has changed this postseason preparation. Eight six
Speaker 2: six nine, eight seven two five seventy is the phone number.
Speaker 2: We are taking your phone calls until eight o'clock tonight.
Speaker 2: Adrian Gonzalez is going to join us at seven point
Speaker 2: thirty tonight. But between now and then, it's you and me,
Speaker 2: And I feel like you need an attitude adjustment. Everybody
Speaker 2: is so worried about the Padres, the Phillies. How about
Speaker 2: doing what Daniel Hudson did? And I feel like I
Speaker 2: have to put my two fingers over my lips right
Speaker 2: now as I say this, As Daniel Hudson reminded his
Speaker 2: team in New York earlier in the year, don't forget
Speaker 2: they are the Dodgers with the best player on the
Speaker 2: planet on their team, swinging a red hot bat with
Speaker 2: Mookie Bets, with Freddie Freeman, with an October Keik Hernandez,
Speaker 2: and don't look now, Will Smith is starting to look
Speaker 2: like Will Smith, So don't you I think the Padres
Speaker 2: are concerned about all that along with losing Joe Musgrove tonight.
Speaker 2: Instead of being so concerned about what the Padres have,
Speaker 2: how about reminding yourselves what the Dodgers have. There's a
Speaker 2: lot of teams out there that don't want to see OTAWI,
Speaker 2: don't want to see the Dodgers, and the Padres are
Speaker 2: going to get them in LA That is huge. It's
Speaker 2: a wild atmosphere, frenzied atmosphere at Peco Park. But the
Speaker 2: Padres are not going to have that the first two
Speaker 2: games of the series. They are coming into the lines
Speaker 2: den of the team with the best record. Are you
Speaker 2: starting to recognize that when all your friends start to
Speaker 2: tell you about the Dodgers and make those jokes about
Speaker 2: them bowing out of the postseason, maybe you should remind
Speaker 2: them who had the most wins, who has the best
Speaker 2: player on the planet, Who has Jack Flaherty and Yoshi
Speaker 2: Yamamoto going in Games one and two of the postseason,
Speaker 2: not to mention a pretty good bullpen these days, I
Speaker 2: think you all have to remind yourselves how good the
Speaker 2: Dodgers are instead of giving way too much respect to
Speaker 2: these other teams. And I hope the Dodger players are
Speaker 2: doing the same. It's one thing to respect your opponent,
Speaker 2: but if you give them too much credit, too much respect,
Speaker 2: you're going to get beat. Frankly eight six six nine
Speaker 2: eight seven two five seventy is the phone number. When
Speaker 2: we continue on Dodger Talk, we'll hear from Max Muncy
Speaker 2: as he prepares to play third base or maybe first
Speaker 2: base if Freddie Freeman can't go. And also we'll get
Speaker 2: into the Dodgers' pitching staff and Adrian Gonzalez is joining
Speaker 2: us at seven point thirty tonight. Can't wait to talk
Speaker 2: to L. Titan right here on Dodger Talk on a
Speaker 2: five to seventy LA Sports David Vasse with you on
Speaker 2: this playoff edition of Dodger Talk. Adrian Gonzalez is going
Speaker 2: to join us at seven point thirty tonight. Can't wait
Speaker 2: to talk to LT. Todd get his thoughts on the
Speaker 2: challenges that Freddie Freeman may or may not have playing
Speaker 2: first base with a very sprained right ankle. Game one
Speaker 2: of the NLDS between the Dodgers, and it looks like
Speaker 2: the Padres who are leading five to two in the
Speaker 2: sixth inning Game one of the NLDS at Dodgers Stadium
Speaker 2: will be at five thirty eight. Game two on Sunday
Speaker 2: at Dodgers Stadium, first pitch at five oh eight. The
Speaker 2: Padres lost Joe Muskgrove in this game. It looked like
Speaker 2: he left with an arm injury in the top of
Speaker 2: the fourth inning. So that would even the pitching scales
Speaker 2: between these two teams. And you never want to see
Speaker 2: an injury, but certainly that is a big blow to
Speaker 2: the Padres. It doesn't look like that was an injury
Speaker 2: that was only going to take a day or two
Speaker 2: to come back from. Joe Muskgrove looked like he was done,
Speaker 2: not only for the Wildcard Series but maybe even the NLDS.
Speaker 2: Will wait to get more information before we speculate even more,
Speaker 2: but it did not look good. His body language did
Speaker 2: not look good, and the Padres may be without Joe Muskgrove.
Speaker 2: It looks like Dylan Cees is going to start Game
Speaker 2: one for the Padres. He will be going up against
Speaker 2: Jack Flaherty. The Dodgers made that official today. Yoshi Yamamoto
Speaker 2: will start Game two for the Dodgers, and he likely
Speaker 2: will go up against you Darvish. That should be fun
Speaker 2: and in game three, Walker Bueler more than likely will
Speaker 2: be the starter. The fourth starter for the Dodgers is
Speaker 2: Landon Nac, but as evident by what we saw in Denver,
Speaker 2: Landon Nack came in after a opener, and I feel
Speaker 2: like that's the way the Dodgers may go in any
Speaker 2: game that Landon Nac pitches in the NLDS or the
Speaker 2: NLCS with an opener. So that's the way the pitching
Speaker 2: looks for the Dodgers going into the NLDS. I would
Speaker 2: say their bullpen looks pretty good, especial especially with this
Speaker 2: new young right hander that they called up, and he's
Speaker 2: a really I'm not going to say he's as good
Speaker 2: as Frankie Rodriguez, because in two thousand and two, the
Speaker 2: Angels called up Frankie Rodriguez from the minor leagues. Nobody
Speaker 2: had seen Frankie Rodriguez until September, the last couple of weeks,
Speaker 2: and nobody could touch his fastball or his slider combination.
Speaker 2: So I kind of feel with Edgardo en Riquez being
Speaker 2: called up and showing what he has shown, he may
Speaker 2: take a lot of teams by surprise because they haven't
Speaker 2: seen him. It's one thing to look at video, but
Speaker 2: to step in that batter's box and face one hundred
Speaker 2: miles an hour and also an eighty eight slider, that's
Speaker 2: a lot different. So I like the way Blake Trenton's pitching.
Speaker 2: I like the way Michael Kopek is pitching. Those three
Speaker 2: are the ones that I feel are the highest leverage
Speaker 2: pitchers for the right now. And I feel like Ryan
Speaker 2: Brazier and Alex Vesi are going to do well against lefties.
Speaker 2: Anthony Bonda should serve a purpose as well. I feel
Speaker 2: like Joe Kelly and Daniel Hudson will be in the
Speaker 2: mix at certain times. And not to mention Evan Phillips,
Speaker 2: who has had an up and down year, especially coming
Speaker 2: back after missing a month with a right hamstring injury.
Speaker 2: He just hasn't been the same consistently since then. So
Speaker 2: hopefully Evan can get things on track and these five
Speaker 2: days will help him do so. Eight six six nine
Speaker 2: eight seven two five seventy is the phone number. Max
Speaker 2: Munsey had a chance to catch up with him on Sunday. Obviously,
Speaker 2: I haven't put eyes on Freddie Freeman this week. We
Speaker 2: haven't seen Freddy since the celebration on the field at
Speaker 2: Dodgers Stadium, clinching the NL West for a second straight year,
Speaker 2: And I asked Max Munsey whether or not he is
Speaker 2: going to move back to first base if for some
Speaker 2: reason Freddie Freeman cannot play, or if Freddie Freeman tries
Speaker 2: to play and just can't do it, or is it
Speaker 2: going to be what we have seen this season Keith
Speaker 2: a Hernandez at first base and Max Munsey over at
Speaker 2: third base, where he has played the last two years.
Speaker 2: Here's what Max Munsey told me about possible decisions being
Speaker 2: made on him moving from third to first.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, obviously, what hoping Freddy's gonna be fine,
Speaker 6: And if anyone knows Freddy, he's going to play through
Speaker 6: a lot of pain if he has to. We're hoping
Speaker 6: that there's that's not the case, that he doesn't have
Speaker 6: to play through a ton of pain. But yeah, we've
Speaker 6: had a couple of small discussions about it, and you know,
Speaker 6: the team knows that I'll play anywhere they need me
Speaker 6: to play. You know, if I have to go back
Speaker 6: to first base, that's kind of second nature to me.
Speaker 6: You know, we'll get we'll get some work in there
Speaker 6: this week and then you know it shouldn't be that
Speaker 6: big of a deal.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Dave said that you may work out at first base.
Speaker 2: Is that still the plan, just to be ready in case.
Speaker 6: Yeah, we haven't finalized anything, but yeah, I mean I
Speaker 6: would imagine I'll I'll get some work over there, just
Speaker 6: to you know, just to make sure that I'm fresh
Speaker 6: over there and remember how to do things, remember how
Speaker 6: to catch a ball.
Speaker 2: People think first base is like the easiest position, but
Speaker 2: there's a lot more that goes to it.
Speaker 6: Yeah, there is. So there's a lot of footwork that's
Speaker 6: involved with it. There's just a lot of understanding certain things.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 6: Sometimes one of the things you see when guys from
Speaker 6: other positions go over to first base for the first
Speaker 6: time is they go after a lot of balls that
Speaker 6: they don't need to go after. And so that's just understanding,
Speaker 6: you know, just kind of understanding your positioning and that
Speaker 6: your job at first base isn't necessarily.
Speaker 2: To feel the ball.
Speaker 6: It's more so to catch the ball.
Speaker 2: All right. There's Max Munsey Sunday in Denver about what
Speaker 2: the Dodgers are thinking regarding first base. If Freddie Freeman
Speaker 2: cannot go and gain one of the nlds or even
Speaker 2: if he tries to go and it just doesn't work,
Speaker 2: that's my concern. I have no no doubts Freddie Freeman
Speaker 2: is going to be in the starting lineup. I have
Speaker 2: no doubt Freddie Freeman will be able to hit. My
Speaker 2: only concern is how much of a liability will he
Speaker 2: be defensively at first base, How much lateral movement will
Speaker 2: he be able to cover around the bag? How many
Speaker 2: balls are going to get through on the right side
Speaker 2: of the infield because he's playing on a severely sprained
Speaker 2: right ankle. Nobody knows that until we see him work
Speaker 2: out on Friday. As Dave Roberts said, now, my understanding
Speaker 2: talking to Brandon Gomes the Dodgers GM today is that
Speaker 2: Freddy is taking swings in the cage, but he hasn't
Speaker 2: attempted to play first base. That is the biggest question.
Speaker 2: It's not whether or not Freddy can hit. Freddy can
Speaker 2: roll out of bed with two bad ankles and get
Speaker 2: at least two hits or three hits in a game.
Speaker 2: I'm not concerned about that. I'm concerned about the base running. Obviously,
Speaker 2: he is one of the best and smartest base runners
Speaker 2: the Dodgers have. But how much. Is that right ankle
Speaker 2: going to prevent him from going first to third? Is
Speaker 2: he a stationed station runner? And can he even tag
Speaker 2: up from second to third? Can he tag up from
Speaker 2: third base? Those are all questions that go into playing
Speaker 2: a baseball game. It's not just getting into the cage
Speaker 2: and taking swings. And we won't know the answer to that,
Speaker 2: not even on Friday. If he does take ground balls there,
Speaker 2: we'll know when the game starts because game action is
Speaker 2: completely different. All right, We're gonna take a time out.
Speaker 2: When we continue on Dodger Talk, we will hear from
Speaker 2: a man that knows how to play a pretty good
Speaker 2: first base, the one and only lt Ton Adrian Gonzalez
Speaker 2: will join us next right here on Dodger Talk on
Speaker 2: a five to seventy LA Sports with you until eight
Speaker 2: o'clock tonight here on AM five to seventy LA Sports.
Speaker 2: I'll be co hosting with Matt Muney Smith on Friday
Speaker 2: from Dodger Stadium three to seven pm. So essentially that
Speaker 2: will be Dodger Talk from what I believe will be
Speaker 2: a Dodger workout as they prepare for Game one of
Speaker 2: the NLDS, which will be this Saturday, from Dodger Stadium
Speaker 2: at five thirty eight. It's looking like the Padres because
Speaker 2: they are leading the Atlanta Braves now five to two
Speaker 2: in the top of the sixth inning, although Matt Olsen
Speaker 2: is at the plate with runners at the corners against
Speaker 2: Tanner Scott, who the Dodgers made look human last week
Speaker 2: at Dodgers Stadium. Also, the Milwaukee Brewers came from behind
Speaker 2: to beat those miracle Mets with a go ahead, three
Speaker 2: run home run in the bottom of the eighth inning
Speaker 2: from Garrett Mitchell. So tomorrow a winner take all Wildcard
Speaker 2: Series game in Milwaukee, Dodg Mets versus Brewers and a
Speaker 2: guy that knows all about hitting home runs in Milwaukee
Speaker 2: and all across Major League base Ball. Fifteen years in
Speaker 2: the big leagues, one of the best first basemen of
Speaker 2: his generation. He played seven hundred and thirty five regular
Speaker 2: season games for the Dodgers five postseason series. He was
Speaker 2: really the symbol of this Dodger ownership turning things around
Speaker 2: for this franchise when they traded for Nick Punto, Carl Crawford,
Speaker 2: Josh Peggett, and our guests, the one and only Adrian
Speaker 2: Gonzalez Gonzo thanks a lot for calling in appreciate it.
Speaker 1: Hey Dave, thank you for having me, Thank you for
Speaker 1: wanting to speak to me. I know, you know, we
Speaker 1: ga it each other back and forth, but on this
Speaker 1: day today, we are not jabbing at each other. We
Speaker 1: are making deals.
Speaker 2: That's right. Gonzo started a fantasy league while he was
Speaker 2: still playing for the Dodgers, and the league is still going.
Speaker 2: It's brought in some different people, and right now Gonzo
Speaker 2: and David Vasse's teams are both one in three. So
Speaker 2: we had to shake things up here, Gonzo.
Speaker 1: We did, we did. We had to shake things up
Speaker 1: and you know, make make sure our teams are, you know,
Speaker 1: getting stronger.
Speaker 2: So it's I love making trades with you because you're reasonable.
Speaker 2: I sent an offer over and you accepted it. It's
Speaker 2: Brian Robinson and Garrett Wilson going to lt Ton's team,
Speaker 2: Marvin Harrison Junior and Bucky Irving coming over to All
Speaker 2: Valley Vassa. I feel like, see, this is the trade
Speaker 2: more teams need to make a Major League Baseball. It's
Speaker 2: a win for you, it's a win for me. I'm
Speaker 2: not trying to steal from you, Gonzo.
Speaker 1: You know what it really it really kind of reminds
Speaker 1: me of the trade that looking back now, the Dodgers
Speaker 1: made with the Tigers. Right, they get the Dodgers got
Speaker 1: Jack Clarity, the Tiger's got a few you know, players,
Speaker 1: and now the Tigers are in the postseason.
Speaker 2: Yeah. How do you think the Tigers feel about that?
Speaker 2: Because the player the Dodgers gave Trey Sweeney, he's been
Speaker 2: playing shortstop ever since Javier Bias went out, and he
Speaker 2: served a very useful purpose for them.
Speaker 1: Yeah. One, I think you know, the team wasn't expecting
Speaker 1: to make the turnaround that they did, and you know,
Speaker 1: they brought in some youth they you know, kind of
Speaker 1: went into this like let's just have fun mentality, and
Speaker 1: before you know it, they started winning games and you know,
Speaker 1: here they are, you know, in winning a postseason series.
Speaker 2: Adrian, you're the perfect guy to talk to about this.
Speaker 2: All around, La, it feels like fans and even you know,
Speaker 2: the so called experts are giving the Padres way too
Speaker 2: much respect. When you came to the Dodgers, it felt
Speaker 2: like there was an attitude change and not arrogant, but
Speaker 2: a confidence level that when your Dodger teams took the field,
Speaker 2: you owned that field. How much do these Dodgers have
Speaker 2: to feel that when they take the field on Saturday
Speaker 2: night against probably these Padres.
Speaker 1: You know, they have to be confidentd I mean, obviously
Speaker 1: the team, you know, best best record in the National League.
Speaker 1: You have to you know, step onto the field feeling
Speaker 1: like you're the best team out there. I will say
Speaker 1: the Padgers have a great team, especially a team that
Speaker 1: is made for the postseason. Having said that, you know,
Speaker 1: the Dodgers have the stars they have with Tani, they
Speaker 1: have Mookie, they have Freddy, they have you know, Yama Moto.
Speaker 1: They have these pieces that they should step onto the
Speaker 1: field feeling extremely confident, like, hey, we got to go
Speaker 1: out there play our game. We're gonna win because we
Speaker 1: trust what we have, we trust what we're doing, and
Speaker 1: we're the most talented team out here. So you know,
Speaker 1: they just got to believe that. They got to know that.
Speaker 1: And on top of it, you know, you got to execute.
Speaker 1: You have to go out there and execute, and you
Speaker 1: cannot be predictable, which is one thing in the past
Speaker 1: that Dodgers have been in the postseason is predictable. They
Speaker 1: we know what we know what you know, pitchers are
Speaker 1: gonna what kind of pitches they're gonna throw in these situation,
Speaker 1: we know what, so they need to be a little
Speaker 1: bit unpredictable when it comes to being able to adjust
Speaker 1: and do things that the other team is not expecting.
Speaker 2: I love that you said that, Adriam, because even Dave
Speaker 2: Roberts said that during the regular season, playing the Padres,
Speaker 2: playing the Diamondbacks so much the last three years, they
Speaker 2: know how the Dodger pitchers are attacking them in game planning.
Speaker 2: What's the balance of changing things up but still pitching
Speaker 2: to your strengths.
Speaker 1: You know, I the greatest pitchers that you that you
Speaker 1: see in the postseason, And now I'm gonna go by,
Speaker 1: you know, my own personal examples, right John Lester. You
Speaker 1: know you talk about, you know, guys that have had
Speaker 1: a ton of success, and I'm going to go to
Speaker 1: John Lester specifically, Right John Lester. During the regular season,
Speaker 1: every single at bat I faced him, he was a
Speaker 1: forcing cutter guy, forcing Cutter's kerball, right, That's all I saw,
Speaker 1: every single pitch. And then when we played him in
Speaker 1: the postseason against the Cubs, guess what I get up
Speaker 1: to the plate and first pitch I see as a sinker.
Speaker 1: Second pitch I see is a changeup. So everything I
Speaker 1: had seen that season is now out the door, and
Speaker 1: that the pitcher had the confidence. John Lesser had the
Speaker 1: confidence to go up there and say, like, listen, I
Speaker 1: know that you think I'm gonna throw these pitchurees, but
Speaker 1: I'm gonna picture completely different because you're not ready for that.
Speaker 1: And that's what makes a picture very, very unpredictable and
Speaker 1: very successful in the postseason. Right Madison Bugarner same thing.
Speaker 1: He was super super successful because he was able to
Speaker 1: change things up. And if a picture is very predictable
Speaker 1: in the postseason, the hitters are going to be able
Speaker 1: to adjust because the hitters have time to study that
Speaker 1: picture in depth. In the regular season, if I'm a hitter,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna study the first ten to fifteen pitches of
Speaker 1: a posing picture and then I'm gonna move on to
Speaker 1: the next and then you know it's the next day
Speaker 1: and the next day and the next day. In the postseason,
Speaker 1: you spend hours on every picture and you try to
Speaker 1: dissect every single situation so you know what they're gonna throw.
Speaker 1: And that is what I'm talking about when it comes
Speaker 1: to predictability.
Speaker 2: Adrian Gonzalez is our Guest, one of the best first
Speaker 2: basemen of his generation now does it for sports at
Speaker 2: La is the man for Collie Dodd for Jersey, Mike's
Speaker 2: for so many things, Gonzo, And speaking of the pitchers perspective,
Speaker 2: I wanted to ask you about the hitters perspective. There's
Speaker 2: been a lot of criticism of Dodger hitters the last
Speaker 2: three or four postseasons that they can't make adjustments in
Speaker 2: game because of what you're describing, other teams are doing
Speaker 2: pitching them backwards. How do you adjusting game? How do
Speaker 2: you recognize that because I remember so many times it
Speaker 2: was you, it was Justin Turner that was taking back
Speaker 2: scatting reports to the dugout. Is that what it's going
Speaker 2: to come down to.
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, yeah, you have to do all your
Speaker 1: due diligence, right, you have to spend time in the
Speaker 1: video room. You have to see what they've done in
Speaker 1: the past, right, you have to use that as your
Speaker 1: first step. And then the second thing you have to
Speaker 1: do is, hey, that first time through the lineup, what
Speaker 1: are they doing differently? If we're not having success in
Speaker 1: that first time through the lineup, what are they doing differently?
Speaker 1: Because if they're doing what we expected them to do.
Speaker 1: Then we need to step up our game. We need
Speaker 1: to be better. We need to put our foot down
Speaker 1: on time. We need to make sure we're not over swinging.
Speaker 1: We need to make sure that we're getting barrel to
Speaker 1: the ball and we're not trying to hit home runs
Speaker 1: because in the postseason you hit home runs because of adrenaline.
Speaker 1: You don't hit home runs because you're trying to hit
Speaker 1: home runs. If you're trying to hit home runs, you're
Speaker 1: over swinging and you're swinging under fastballs and you're swinging
Speaker 1: over all speed pitches. So you know, if they're doing
Speaker 1: something different, you make that adjustment second time to the lineup.
Speaker 1: But the team has to communicate, they have to be
Speaker 1: able to have those conversations, and they have to be
Speaker 1: ready to change. And the key, like I said, is
Speaker 1: don't try to hit home runs in the postseason. Let
Speaker 1: your adrenaline create the bad speed and just focus on
Speaker 1: getting the bats of the ball.
Speaker 2: Do you believe Otani will be able to do that? Gone?
Speaker 1: So you know what he's shown that he has that
Speaker 1: he can do that. He's had success in the WBC
Speaker 1: in the past, he's had to success, and you know
Speaker 1: the times that we've seen him that you know, we
Speaker 1: think that he might the pressure might get to him,
Speaker 1: and he's always stepped up to the to the to
Speaker 1: the plate in those situations. So I really do think
Speaker 1: that he is a guy that will be able to
Speaker 1: do that. You know, we don't know everybody. Everybody's different,
Speaker 1: everybody can react different to a new situation. Obviously, this
Speaker 1: is his first postseason game coming on Saturday, but I
Speaker 1: do believe that he will be able to have the
Speaker 1: success that we expect him to have.
Speaker 2: Not only was Adrian Gonzalez a great hitter, but he
Speaker 2: was one of the best defensive first basemen, a multi
Speaker 2: goal Glove Award winner, and one of the best at
Speaker 2: defending the bunt and the wheel play came into question
Speaker 2: the last home stand of the season, and I just
Speaker 2: remember how great you were crashing on those type of plays.
Speaker 2: So what are the challenges Freddie Freeman is going to
Speaker 2: have on a bum right ankle. Are you concerned about
Speaker 2: the ground he'll be able to cover around first base,
Speaker 2: about handling bunts, doing all those things that you need
Speaker 2: to do to be a good first baseman.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna make a joke out of this,
Speaker 1: but it's also my answer. So ready, Freeman and a
Speaker 1: bad ankle is moving faster than I was on a
Speaker 1: I'm two good legs. So I believe he'll be just fine.
Speaker 1: You know, playing first bases about having instincts and anticipating things.
Speaker 1: It's not about how fast you are. So I really
Speaker 1: think he will be just fine, you know, being able
Speaker 1: to cover bonds or cover you know, his positions I
Speaker 1: think he needs to do. He might not be stealing bases.
Speaker 1: He might not be. You know, he might be. What
Speaker 1: I did is turning triples into doubles. Right, he hits
Speaker 1: the ball in the gap, He's not gonna get a
Speaker 1: triple out of it, He's gonna get a double out
Speaker 1: of it. That's perfectly fine. But we need his bat
Speaker 1: in the lineup it we need we need his glove
Speaker 1: at first base.
Speaker 2: And that's his front foot when he hits gon. So
Speaker 2: that's not an issue, right, It.
Speaker 1: Shouldn't be much of an issue now. I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: it's gonna be heavily taped. I'm sure if their soreness
Speaker 1: still lingering, you know, comes Saturday, it's gonna be. It's
Speaker 1: gonna be fine. He you know, maybe maybe a little
Speaker 1: bit of a mechanical adjustment there, but he'll be just fine.
Speaker 1: He's he's got he's got some of the best hands
Speaker 1: in the game when it comes to swinging the bat,
Speaker 1: so I'm sure his legs won't won't get in the
Speaker 1: way of his amazing swring.
Speaker 2: Adrian and z all Well has said so many great
Speaker 2: moments in a Dodger uniform, so many fun times. He
Speaker 2: knew how to be inclusive with everybody in that clubhouse.
Speaker 2: He knew when it was time to be serious, he
Speaker 2: knew when it was the time to lighten the mood.
Speaker 2: When you look back at those Dodger teams that you
Speaker 2: played on gone, so is there one that you're more
Speaker 2: fond of than the other. I'm not going to ask
Speaker 2: you which was the best, but which one were you
Speaker 2: the most fond of? If you can put it into context.
Speaker 1: You know, I think, in my opinion, the twenty thirteen
Speaker 1: team the first team that you know, the first year,
Speaker 1: you know, when it started, this twelfth season run, right,
Speaker 1: I believe that was the team that you know, we
Speaker 1: had the team, we had the everything going for us
Speaker 1: to win it all. Obviously, you know, Henley Ramirez being
Speaker 1: hit in the ribs and his ribs being broken and
Speaker 1: for pretty much taking him completely out of that series
Speaker 1: really hurt us. And you know, he was our best
Speaker 1: hitter at the time. He was he was you know,
Speaker 1: he had an incredible series again Atlanta, and and you know,
Speaker 1: he was our number three hitter. And I think, you know,
Speaker 1: the fact that he was a guy that you know,
Speaker 1: was taking out of that series really affected us. So
Speaker 1: that's that's the that's the tea that I look back
Speaker 1: and I'm like, man, if if he was healthy that series,
Speaker 1: I think I think we had a really really good
Speaker 1: shot at winning that whole thing.
Speaker 2: I still give Joe Kelly crap about that gone, So
Speaker 2: I don't let him forget that. I haven't forgotten.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, for sure. I uh, I'm uh, you know,
Speaker 1: maybe maybe maybe you can get him to admit on
Speaker 1: there that that it was semi semi on purpose just
Speaker 1: to uh to just to get under him a little bit.
Speaker 1: But Joe Kelly is a great guy. He's unbelievable, and uh,
Speaker 1: you know it was it was you know, they like
Speaker 1: they pitched inside with with no repercussions, you know, that team,
Speaker 1: they they if a guy was was ready to lean
Speaker 1: out there. They made sure to throw one up and
Speaker 1: in on purpose and as they hit you as well.
Speaker 2: When you made your first debut as a Dodger you
Speaker 2: hit a home run.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 2: Is that still one of the more special moments of
Speaker 2: your career?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Having Vin Scully be able to call that was
Speaker 1: was very special, you know. And then obviously my first
Speaker 1: at bad and the way that I got a standing
Speaker 1: ovation from the Dodger fans, I was I don't know
Speaker 1: what to expect, you know, coming from a padre being
Speaker 1: a pottery for all those years, so it was just
Speaker 1: very special to me.
Speaker 2: I'll never forget twenty thirteen the Mickey Mouse ears. Maybe
Speaker 2: the Dodgers can come up with something like that.
Speaker 1: You know, they said I was a Mickey Mouse stuff.
Speaker 1: So you know what, let's I'll show you what Mickey
Speaker 1: mouse stuff really is, you know.
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, Hey, we follow you on Instagram, We follow
Speaker 2: you on x You got this five am workout club, Gonzo.
Speaker 2: You got girls to raise, so you're getting You're getting

Speaker 2: Love it. See Gonzo is leading the school parents now
Speaker 2: see just like you did when you played, you know
Speaker 2: how to galvanize and include everybody.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean you have to write. I mean you
Speaker 1: have to create a community, and you have to you know,
Speaker 1: have a goal in mind and you have to go
Speaker 1: after it.
Speaker 2: Love it, Gonzo. It's great to hear your voice. You
Speaker 2: meant so much to the Dodgers in this city ever
Speaker 2: since you put on that uniform and certainly one of
Speaker 2: the great Dodgers of the last thirteen years. And uh,
Speaker 2: Dodger fans still love you and we can't wait to
Speaker 2: see you again on sports in at LA and maybe
Speaker 2: Adrian Gonzalez is throwing out a first pitch in the NLDS.
Speaker 1: Oh man, that would be great. Now it's you know,
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a great series, regardless of what team
Speaker 1: it is. And you know, I can't wait for the
Speaker 1: Dodgers to, you know, be able to win that series,
Speaker 1: you know, after a couple of tough seasons.
Speaker 2: All right, Adrian, thanks a lot for coming on, and
Speaker 2: thanks a lot for making that trade. It's a done deal.
Speaker 1: It's a done deal, Dave. It's a done deal. Our
Speaker 1: teams are going up from here on out.
Speaker 2: Here we go two and three from here, Gonzo.
Speaker 1: That's right, that's right.
Speaker 2: I'll talk to you soon. Okay, thanks a lot for
Speaker 2: coming on.
Speaker 1: All right, I appreciate it. I appreciate you, Dave. We'll
Speaker 1: talk so.
Speaker 2: Okay, miss you see Gonzo. There he goes. Adrian Gonzalez
Speaker 2: a great guy, a great first baseman, one of the
Speaker 2: sweet swings in Major League Baseball, and it was always
Speaker 2: fun being around him. He was great on the field,
Speaker 2: he was great off the field. Was really an inclusive guy.
Speaker 2: And when you talk about Justin Turner, in the nine
Speaker 2: in great years he had with the Dodgers. Who do
Speaker 2: you think passed him that torch and taught him how
Speaker 2: to be that guy? It was Adrian Gonzalez. Love hearing
Speaker 2: from Adrian. I know he played for the Padres, but honestly,
Speaker 2: that seems like a lifetime ago. He's a Dodger. Eight
Speaker 2: six six nine eighty seven two five seventy is the
Speaker 2: phone number. The Padres are still leading the Braves. It's
Speaker 2: five to two in the top of the seventh inning,
Speaker 2: so it's looking like a Dodgers Padres NLDS and the
Speaker 2: Padres have released a statement on the injury to Joe Muskgrove,
Speaker 2: who left their game tonight in the fourth inning with
Speaker 2: right elbow tightness. Not good. I don't think you're going
Speaker 2: to see Joe Musgrove in the NLDS. Eight six six
Speaker 2: nine eighty seven two five seventy is the phone number.
Speaker 2: Let's go out to Reciita. John. You're on Dodger Talk.
Speaker 7: How you doing, John, Hey, David, I'm fine. Thank you
Speaker 7: for taking my call. I just had a couple of
Speaker 7: things that I know. This one is really far fetched
Speaker 7: because he didn't get a chance to work out at
Speaker 7: first base during the season, but maybe in the future
Speaker 7: shoe Hey Otani at first and let Freddie Freeman d H. So,
Speaker 7: I know it's kind of out of the realm, but
Speaker 7: I mean, Joey A. Tani is the man. He can
Speaker 7: probably do anything. So I mean maybe for a future,
Speaker 7: you know, have him play first base and Freddie Kadh
Speaker 7: if that, if that comes to pass, but maybe not.
Speaker 7: It won't happen this year, I know, but I just
Speaker 7: thought it would throw it out there and then just
Speaker 7: give me an update on Clayton Kershaw and Tony Gonslin.
Speaker 2: Okay, John, before you hang up, think about this what
Speaker 2: you're asking shoe Hey Otani to do. He's been rehabbing
Speaker 2: to come back to pitch next year. Some including yourself,
Speaker 2: i'm sure, are hoping that Otani can pitch at least
Speaker 2: one or two innings in the World Series if the
Speaker 2: Dodgers get there. And now you're asking him to play
Speaker 2: first base and learn a new position. I mean, don't
Speaker 2: you feel like that's a lot to ask.
Speaker 7: No, I don't, because I could do anything. He can
Speaker 7: do anything, and you know what, it would be really
Speaker 7: great if he could pitch a couple of innings in
Speaker 7: the World Series, but I'm not counting on it. But
Speaker 7: I mean, just you know, for I mean just it's
Speaker 7: a little too late.
Speaker 2: It's a little too late in the season to all
Speaker 2: of a sudden have Otani play first base. It's just
Speaker 2: too late, John, that's not realistic.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I understand that, but hey, he could teach his
Speaker 7: dog to retrieve a ball and bring it sixty feet
Speaker 7: to him. He can do anything.
Speaker 2: That's true. It took three weeks, So you're impressed by
Speaker 2: Decoy being trained in three weeks, and you feel like,
Speaker 2: so you're comparing Otani to his dog that we can
Speaker 2: train Otani to play first base. Now you're asking within
Speaker 2: three days, not three weeks.
Speaker 7: That's right, he could do it. He can do it.
Speaker 2: I wouldn't put anything past him, John, but I'm not
Speaker 2: going to say that's going to happen. Now, what other
Speaker 2: update did you demand from me?
Speaker 7: Yeah, I understand that. Just an update on Clayton Kershaw
Speaker 7: and Tony Goslin, But it was it was just a thought.
Speaker 7: I hear you make everybody laugh.
Speaker 2: Oh, Tony brought a first base glove to spring training
Speaker 2: and he was waving and around, but he never used it.
Speaker 2: So he has it in his locker.
Speaker 7: There you go, There you go, There you go.
Speaker 2: Thanks for the phone call. John Kershaw is not going
Speaker 2: to pitch in the NLDS unless he's had a miraculous
Speaker 2: recovery of his left big toe. But I wouldn't rule
Speaker 2: out Kershaw pitching in the NLCS or even the World Series.
Speaker 2: It's just not enough time for him to face hitters
Speaker 2: and be ready for vital playoff games in the first round.
Speaker 2: But I wouldn't put anything past Kershaw for being able
Speaker 2: to give the Dodgers something in the NLCS. Tony Gonsolin
Speaker 2: interesting name. I wouldn't be if he's on this NLDS roster.
Speaker 2: The Dodgers have made him or have brought him along
Speaker 2: with rehab games three or four times for Oklahoma City.
Speaker 2: Dave Roberts said he didn't feel like he needed to
Speaker 2: see Gonsolin in major league games before using him in
Speaker 2: a playoff situation. So yeah, I wouldn't rule out Tony
Speaker 2: Gonsolin as being on this NLDS roster. We'll find out
Speaker 2: more when we are allowed into Dodgers Stadium on Thursday
Speaker 2: to see whether or not Gonsolin is out there, whether
Speaker 2: or not he's throwing in a simulated game or if
Speaker 2: he's throwing at least two hitters. But the Dodgers are
Speaker 2: expected to have a simulated game at Dodgers Stadium tomorrow.
Speaker 2: It'll be interesting, to say, interesting to see what happens
Speaker 2: with Tony Gonsolin, but he definitely is on the table
Speaker 2: to pitch in this postseason. Let's go out to Palm Springs. Ray,
Speaker 2: you're on Dodger Talk. How you doing?
Speaker 5: Ray?
Speaker 4: Hey Dave, how's it going? Manas you're not.
Speaker 2: Going it's going great.
Speaker 7: That's good, that's good.
Speaker 4: I mean, I just wanted to come on here because
Speaker 4: you know, we're realistically we are going to probably play
Speaker 4: the Padres, and you know, I just wanted your thoughts,
Speaker 4: like what do you think is like, you know, the
Speaker 4: key to win? You know, I Padres do Loki have
Speaker 4: a hand on us? But you know, like what do
Speaker 4: we have to do to you know, continue on to
Speaker 4: the NLCS.
Speaker 2: Well number one, Ray, did you see the Dodgers beat
Speaker 2: the Padres two out of three when it mattered the
Speaker 2: most last week? I mean, are we all forgetting about that?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 4: No, you're you're honestly right, Yeah, you're right right.
Speaker 2: Remind your friends the Dodgers have the best player on
Speaker 2: the planet. They have Jack Flaherty, who's been one of
Speaker 2: the best starters since the Dodgers treated for him. Yamamoto
Speaker 2: is back, and UH is not going to shy away
Speaker 2: from the moment.
Speaker 1: UH.
Speaker 2: Mookie Betts, last time I check, is a pretty good
Speaker 2: player too, Ray. So I feel like we all have
Speaker 2: to start giving the Dodgers a little bit more credit
Speaker 2: than what we are giving them.
Speaker 4: And then, all right, last question, let's just say, you know,
Speaker 4: we don't win, UH, we don't make it to the
Speaker 4: World Series. Do you consider this a bust year or
Speaker 4: you know, like just you know, a lot of people
Speaker 4: are probably gonna say that we don't make it to
Speaker 4: the World Series.
Speaker 2: I think it's a bust year every year the Dodgers
Speaker 2: don't win the World Series. And that's the attitude the
Speaker 2: Dodgers should always have. We're not the Reds, we're not
Speaker 2: the Padres. We're the Dodgers, and those should be the expectations,
Speaker 2: and those have been the expectations ever since they traded
Speaker 2: for our guest Adrian Gonzalez.
Speaker 4: That was good, David. I appreciate your talk, bro.
Speaker 2: All right, Ray, I appreciate you. Thanks a lot for
Speaker 2: calling in. Yeah, you know, I feel like everybody has
Speaker 2: to start giving the Dodgers a little bit more credit.
Speaker 2: They act like they're just crawling to the finish line.
Speaker 2: The Padres were really good, in fact, the hottest team
Speaker 2: in baseball since the All Star Break. And even with
Speaker 2: all that, they finished in second place to the Dodgers
Speaker 2: in the NL West and when they had their opportunity
Speaker 2: to actually win the division, they lost two out of
Speaker 2: three to the Dodgers last week and had to watch
Speaker 2: the Dodgers celebrate. So I know the Padres are really good.
Speaker 2: I don't believe it's going to be easy for the Dodgers.
Speaker 2: This is going to be a tough series, and Game
Speaker 2: one is so important. We saw how it went sideways
Speaker 2: on the Dodgers last year. We saw how a Trey
Speaker 2: Turner air changed the series against the Padres two years ago.
Speaker 2: Game one is vital for the Dodgers to win because
Speaker 2: you don't want to go down Oh two in San Diego,
Speaker 2: and quite honestly, you don't want to go down there
Speaker 2: with the split. So Game one is definitely going to
Speaker 2: be big for the Dodgers, especially if Joe Musgrove cannot
Speaker 2: pitch in the NLDS. All of a sudden, the Padres
Speaker 2: don't have such a great feeling anymore about the advantage
Speaker 2: they have in their starting rotation over the Dodgers. That'll
Speaker 2: do it for us tonight on Dodger Talk. Thanks a
Speaker 2: lot for listening. In case you missed any of the show,
