Hi, everybody, and welcome in 22 00:00:58.719 --> 00:01:01.640 to Dodger Talk here on an FI seventy LA Sports 23 00:01:01.640 --> 00:01:05.040 Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio at Thanks for being with 24 00:01:05.120 --> 00:01:07.879 us here on this Friday night, wherever you may be, 25 00:01:08.120 --> 00:01:11.239 if you're driving around here in southern California, just sitting 26 00:01:11.280 --> 00:01:13.200 back and enjoying some Dodgers baseball. 27 00:01:13.280 --> 00:01:13.959 Let's talk about it. 28 00:01:14.040 --> 00:01:16.799 Eight six six nine eighty seven two five seventy eight 29 00:01:16.920 --> 00:01:21.920 six six nine eight seven two five seventy Dustin made tonight, 30 00:01:22.040 --> 00:01:25.599 came out and just did not have the control that 31 00:01:25.680 --> 00:01:27.920 we thought we would see out of him tonight. He 32 00:01:28.079 --> 00:01:32.280 battled for four innings, four runs, six hits, three strikeouts, 33 00:01:32.280 --> 00:01:35.560 three walks. He threw thirty pitches in the first inning 34 00:01:35.640 --> 00:01:38.680 after getting two quick outs, a double, a walk, and 35 00:01:38.840 --> 00:01:42.319 RBI single, and just like that, the game was tied 36 00:01:42.359 --> 00:01:45.000 back up a one after showy Otani gave them the 37 00:01:45.079 --> 00:01:47.560 lead on a solo home run, his eighth leadoff home 38 00:01:47.640 --> 00:01:51.000 run of the season. Dustin made twenty three more pitches 39 00:01:51.040 --> 00:01:53.400 in the second inning. He got some help on defense 40 00:01:53.439 --> 00:01:56.120 with the cott stealing in the fourth inning. The defense 41 00:01:56.280 --> 00:01:59.159 was a big story line tonight, a miss cue from 42 00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:02.519 tay Oscar and but some overall great plays by the 43 00:02:02.560 --> 00:02:06.719 Dodgers defensively, none better than the play at Freddie Freeman 44 00:02:06.719 --> 00:02:09.080 in the ninth inning, with the bases loaded, one out 45 00:02:09.360 --> 00:02:12.120 at four to six to three double play. The one 46 00:02:12.240 --> 00:02:15.199 hop throw from Mookie Beds as he swipes the bag 47 00:02:15.240 --> 00:02:18.159 at second throws the first to get the second out 48 00:02:18.240 --> 00:02:22.560 and in the game one hops Freddie Freeman, who was 49 00:02:22.599 --> 00:02:26.719 stretched out with his left foot forward, makes a backhanded 50 00:02:26.879 --> 00:02:31.560 swipe and snow cones it falls and hangs on with 51 00:02:31.639 --> 00:02:35.120 the ball in his first baseman's glove and the ballgame 52 00:02:35.199 --> 00:02:41.159 is over. It was a remarkable defensive play from Freddie Freeman. 53 00:02:41.360 --> 00:02:44.479 We shouldn't be surprised. He does it all the time, 54 00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:49.240 but it's just surprising to me. And I'll say it again. 55 00:02:49.560 --> 00:02:51.759 He has one gold glove. 56 00:02:51.520 --> 00:02:53.800 To his name in twenty eighteen. 57 00:02:55.000 --> 00:02:59.240 I mean I could count many times the last two 58 00:02:59.319 --> 00:03:02.439 plus season just in my head how many times he 59 00:03:02.479 --> 00:03:06.759 has saved bad throws. And it won't necessarily show up 60 00:03:06.759 --> 00:03:09.680 in the traditional scorebook, but I know they keep stats 61 00:03:09.680 --> 00:03:15.960 of this saving runs defensive, you know statistics, They keep 62 00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:19.240 track of this stuff. How is he not won more 63 00:03:19.280 --> 00:03:23.599 than just one goal glove? He is a witch with 64 00:03:23.719 --> 00:03:28.039 that first baseman's mid He is the plays he makes, 65 00:03:28.439 --> 00:03:33.000 the stretching, whether it's backhanded, going up and getting a ball. 66 00:03:33.479 --> 00:03:36.199 Go back to the playoffs Leeer in San Diego in 67 00:03:36.199 --> 00:03:38.000 the NLDS, he had to go up and make a 68 00:03:38.039 --> 00:03:40.520 play on a bad ankle and use the bag to 69 00:03:40.599 --> 00:03:43.400 kind of jump up and come down and retweet the ankle. 70 00:03:44.080 --> 00:03:46.840 He is so good at first base, and I don't 71 00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:49.319 think we'd take him for granted, but maybe we do, 72 00:03:50.439 --> 00:03:52.800 because you just assume he's gonna make every play. 73 00:03:53.599 --> 00:03:54.319 He's gonna make. 74 00:03:54.240 --> 00:03:59.400 Every pick, every wide throw, he jumps, makes a tag 75 00:03:59.439 --> 00:04:02.680 on the runner they go by, jumps up, comes back, 76 00:04:02.759 --> 00:04:07.840 finds the bag and gets the out. He just gets everything. 77 00:04:08.960 --> 00:04:12.960 He just is able to stop everything. And that's not 78 00:04:13.080 --> 00:04:16.040 just him at first making a play on a bad 79 00:04:16.120 --> 00:04:20.079 throw in Colorado over the last three games, there was 80 00:04:20.120 --> 00:04:22.279 a play in which the ball went to him. He 81 00:04:22.319 --> 00:04:25.199 made the stop, but his webbing on his first basement's 82 00:04:25.279 --> 00:04:28.079 mid broke and the ball went right through it. 83 00:04:30.319 --> 00:04:33.800 He is a really good first baseman. It is fun 84 00:04:33.800 --> 00:04:35.360 to see him over at first base. 85 00:04:35.839 --> 00:04:41.240 He puts a lot of makeup on bad throws, if 86 00:04:41.279 --> 00:04:45.199 you know what I mean, some ugly throws, some bad 87 00:04:45.199 --> 00:04:51.439 defensive plays. He covers him up. He's the makeup. He 88 00:04:51.519 --> 00:04:54.399 covers up the blemishes. He makes the pick for you 89 00:04:54.839 --> 00:04:58.519 when you one hop him from third, when you want 90 00:04:58.560 --> 00:05:02.399 to hop him from shortstop on a double play ball 91 00:05:02.439 --> 00:05:05.680 where you make a wide throw. He's able to stretch 92 00:05:05.759 --> 00:05:08.639 and still have a foot on the bag and make 93 00:05:08.680 --> 00:05:12.959 the out. He is so good at first base. He 94 00:05:13.079 --> 00:05:17.199 is so good eight six, six, nine, seven, two, five 95 00:05:17.199 --> 00:05:20.079 to seventy. He literally saved the game tonight for the 96 00:05:20.120 --> 00:05:26.040 Dodgers and Tanner Scott bases loaded one out. Jack cagleone, 97 00:05:26.560 --> 00:05:30.319 the stud rookie for the Royals, hits a double play 98 00:05:30.399 --> 00:05:31.600 ball four. 99 00:05:31.480 --> 00:05:32.240 To six to three. 100 00:05:32.360 --> 00:05:35.800 Turn should be an easy throw from short to first, 101 00:05:36.199 --> 00:05:40.800 Mookie short hops him and Freddie makes the stretch the 102 00:05:40.920 --> 00:05:45.720 pick the out ballgame over. Dodgers win five to four, 103 00:05:46.240 --> 00:05:49.399 and they've now won five straight overall, four to zero 104 00:05:49.439 --> 00:05:51.920 on this road trip. And again I mentioned in the 105 00:05:51.920 --> 00:05:56.600 Clubhouse show, the Padres lost again in Cincinnati. They got 106 00:05:56.600 --> 00:05:59.519 beat eight to one. The Giants won three to one. 107 00:05:59.600 --> 00:06:02.360 So the Dodgers maintain a six and a half game 108 00:06:02.439 --> 00:06:05.639 lead over the Giants in the division, and now the 109 00:06:05.680 --> 00:06:09.839 Padres dropped to seven games back in the NL West. 110 00:06:10.519 --> 00:06:13.360 This is that time of the schedule we mentioned it yesterday. 111 00:06:14.360 --> 00:06:16.839 I'm gonna repeat it right now. I'm gonna repeat it tomorrow, 112 00:06:16.879 --> 00:06:19.560 and repeat it on Sunday. Heck, we're gonna repeat it 113 00:06:19.639 --> 00:06:23.639 next week. This is the time of the schedule where 114 00:06:23.680 --> 00:06:26.360 the Dodgers need to be feasting. This is the time 115 00:06:26.399 --> 00:06:29.199 of this schedule where the Dodgers need to be separating 116 00:06:29.240 --> 00:06:33.720 themselves as much as possible in the division because of 117 00:06:33.759 --> 00:06:36.560 the caliber of the opponents. And I know Max Bunsky 118 00:06:36.639 --> 00:06:40.439 told David Vesse a few minutes ago. We heard the audio. Oh, 119 00:06:40.560 --> 00:06:43.399 everybody's a big leaguer. I don't care about the record. Yeah, 120 00:06:43.439 --> 00:06:46.439 there are some teams just aren't very good, and they'll 121 00:06:46.519 --> 00:06:50.160 they can't go twenty seven outs without hurting themselves, without 122 00:06:50.199 --> 00:06:55.920 making mistakes, without causing self damage on offense or on 123 00:06:55.959 --> 00:07:00.639 the mound or defensively, and the better team will usually 124 00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:06.399 win in most cases. In most cases, the Dodgers against 125 00:07:06.399 --> 00:07:10.439 the Nationals take two or three. Against the Rockies, they sweep. 126 00:07:11.720 --> 00:07:16.959 It's imperative they win this series at least taking two 127 00:07:16.959 --> 00:07:19.560 of three, if not a sweep. Against the Kansas Soity 128 00:07:19.639 --> 00:07:23.839 Royals day off and then the White Sox Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, 129 00:07:23.839 --> 00:07:26.720 with kersh on the mound going for three thousand strikeouts. 130 00:07:27.199 --> 00:07:29.839 I'm excited also for tomorrow. Not only do the Dodgers 131 00:07:29.839 --> 00:07:31.839 need to go out and get a win in the hot, 132 00:07:31.920 --> 00:07:34.000 humid air of Kansas City. Tomorrow it's gonna be a 133 00:07:34.040 --> 00:07:37.319 little roasty, but I'm excited to see show. Hey Otani 134 00:07:37.360 --> 00:07:39.839 make his third appearance, in which we hope he goes 135 00:07:39.959 --> 00:07:42.480 more than one inning. Don't expect him to go much 136 00:07:42.519 --> 00:07:45.160 longer than that, Dodger fans, as he continues to ramp up, 137 00:07:46.040 --> 00:07:50.439 But keep in mind the master plan, what they have 138 00:07:50.519 --> 00:07:52.480 in the mine, and the goal is to be ready 139 00:07:52.519 --> 00:07:55.079 and ramped up the second half of the season going 140 00:07:55.079 --> 00:07:58.720 into October. So you don't need to be going five inning, 141 00:07:58.839 --> 00:08:02.879 seventy five pitches on what tomorrow is, June twenty eighth. 142 00:08:03.120 --> 00:08:08.639 Why don't need it? Ramp up? Go two innings tomorrow, 143 00:08:09.120 --> 00:08:11.680 Go two innings the next start, three innings before the 144 00:08:11.720 --> 00:08:15.040 All Star break, and then post All Star break, you 145 00:08:15.120 --> 00:08:17.040 continue to wrap it up even more in the final 146 00:08:17.120 --> 00:08:21.199 eight to nine starts going into October eight six, six, nine, eight, 147 00:08:21.279 --> 00:08:24.000 seven to two, five seventy. You don't win a lot 148 00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:27.199 of baseball games with just four hits, and when, especially 149 00:08:27.240 --> 00:08:29.879 when you get out hit by your opponent eleven to four, 150 00:08:30.800 --> 00:08:32.720 you just don't see it very often the team that's 151 00:08:32.759 --> 00:08:36.120 got out hit eleven to four win a game. But 152 00:08:36.200 --> 00:08:41.840 tonight the Dodgers did great defense, good bullpen work, and 153 00:08:41.879 --> 00:08:43.320 those four hits you did get. 154 00:08:43.679 --> 00:08:45.600 All of them drove in runs. 155 00:08:46.080 --> 00:08:49.120 O Tani solo home run, Max Monty to run home run, 156 00:08:49.279 --> 00:08:53.000 O Tani, RBI triple, Mookie Betts go ahead RBI single, 157 00:08:53.799 --> 00:08:56.639 four hits, all of them drove in the Dodger runs, 158 00:08:58.080 --> 00:08:59.879 and the Dodgers get the win five to four, eight 159 00:09:00.440 --> 00:09:02.799 ninety seven two five seventy. To go out to the phones, 160 00:09:02.840 --> 00:09:06.519 and we're gonna go to Blake first. Blake has been 161 00:09:06.559 --> 00:09:10.840 on hold the longest. Blake checked in yesterday driving to 162 00:09:11.039 --> 00:09:15.200 Kansas City from Colorado. Blake called in a few days 163 00:09:15.240 --> 00:09:17.279 ago and told us he was going to a game 164 00:09:18.240 --> 00:09:21.120 in Denver to see the Dodgers, and then told us 165 00:09:21.120 --> 00:09:25.480 he was going to his sixteenth Major League baseball stadium 166 00:09:25.600 --> 00:09:29.600 in Kansas City for this series, and then he's going 167 00:09:29.600 --> 00:09:32.399 to Milwaukee in a few weeks, and I believe, I 168 00:09:32.440 --> 00:09:35.799 believe that's going to be his seventeenth major league stadium there. 169 00:09:35.799 --> 00:09:36.480 He's going to be in. 170 00:09:36.919 --> 00:09:41.279 Young Blake now joins us from Kansas City.

Five said he's gonna be our 246 00:12:59.399 --> 00:13:03.720 correspondent in Kansas City tomorrow after shoey Otani's appearance again 247 00:13:03.759 --> 00:13:09.320 of us his eyes on view, you know, eyes on 248 00:13:09.399 --> 00:13:12.120 the spot view from Kansas City tomorrow. 249 00:13:12.720 --> 00:13:17.440 In his thoughts all right, speaking of thoughts Ken Newport Beach. 250 00:13:17.559 --> 00:13:20.039 We get his thoughts after this Dodgers five to four win. 251 00:13:20.799 --> 00:13:24.240 It wasn't pretty, Ken, but good teams find a. 252 00:13:24.240 --> 00:13:26.399 Way to win well. 253 00:13:26.559 --> 00:13:28.639 First of all, that is one lucky kid man. I 254 00:13:28.720 --> 00:13:33.240 wish I was in. It's phenomenal for the for the good, 255 00:13:33.759 --> 00:13:36.840 really good stuff. The bullpen was great. I think that 256 00:13:37.039 --> 00:13:38.759 might be the last start for me. He's got a 257 00:13:38.840 --> 00:13:42.039 six cra and the other thing that's just amazing. And 258 00:13:42.159 --> 00:13:46.840 he needs to patent those glasses that he's got because 259 00:13:47.159 --> 00:13:51.679 Muncy has been unbelievable since he put those classes on. 260 00:13:52.200 --> 00:13:56.919 Absolutely incredible. And you know, again, four hits and you 261 00:13:57.000 --> 00:13:59.919 win this game, you really deserve it. In the bullpen 262 00:14:00.159 --> 00:14:06.159 was phenomenal. Now let's get to Freeman. Incredible play, save 263 00:14:06.320 --> 00:14:10.080 the game. You've got to give the guy credit. Defensively, 264 00:14:10.240 --> 00:14:14.519 he's phenomenal. My concern is for the month of June, 265 00:14:14.679 --> 00:14:17.759 the entire month of June, he is hitting one eighty two. 266 00:14:18.440 --> 00:14:22.159 That's the lowest month he's ever had when he was 267 00:14:22.200 --> 00:14:26.799 with the Dodgers. Something is not right. How can that guy, 268 00:14:26.919 --> 00:14:29.519 one of the great hitters of all time and maybe 269 00:14:29.639 --> 00:14:32.960 one of the best first basemen I've ever seen only 270 00:14:33.080 --> 00:14:35.440 be hitting one eighty two for the month. There's something 271 00:14:35.919 --> 00:14:37.279 not right. What is it? 272 00:14:37.679 --> 00:14:40.519 It's I think it's everything. I think the ankle still 273 00:14:40.600 --> 00:14:43.000 bother him. There's got to be something else that he's not, 274 00:14:43.279 --> 00:14:46.759 you know, letting onto ken because you're right, the way 275 00:14:46.840 --> 00:14:49.960 he runs, he still kind of runs gingerly down the field. 276 00:14:50.039 --> 00:14:54.279 But there's no arguing that his defense is fantastic and 277 00:14:54.440 --> 00:14:56.480 he's able to still do that even if he's hobbling 278 00:14:56.559 --> 00:14:59.720 around and the offense has struggled in June. You mentioned 279 00:14:59.759 --> 00:15:01.799 it was on two going into the Knight's game and 280 00:15:01.919 --> 00:15:04.440 he was zero for four at the plate with a 281 00:15:04.519 --> 00:15:05.519 couple of strikeouts. 282 00:15:05.679 --> 00:15:08.159 So he's still hitting over three hundred can. But yeah, 283 00:15:08.200 --> 00:15:08.639 there's right. 284 00:15:08.759 --> 00:15:11.879 I think we're gonna find out at some point there 285 00:15:12.039 --> 00:15:16.200 there's more hurting Freddie Freeman that we know right now. 286 00:15:16.480 --> 00:15:19.080 And it's obviously not at the point where he's gonna 287 00:15:19.080 --> 00:15:20.879 take himself out of the game where the Dodgers feel 288 00:15:20.879 --> 00:15:23.000 like they need to take him out. He's still getting 289 00:15:23.039 --> 00:15:25.200 some hits every so often, but he'll turn things around. 290 00:15:25.279 --> 00:15:25.360 Can. 291 00:15:25.440 --> 00:15:27.759 He's too good of a player to have another month 292 00:15:27.879 --> 00:15:28.879 like he had in the month of June. 293 00:15:28.960 --> 00:15:33.440 Right breakouts this month. He doesn't do that right. Something's 294 00:15:33.480 --> 00:15:37.159 not right. But you know what, great win, Yeah, great 295 00:15:37.240 --> 00:15:42.600 play by Raeman, Munci and Otani are phenomenal. Let's keep 296 00:15:42.639 --> 00:15:45.519 it going because so hot as heck and they're crushing 297 00:15:45.600 --> 00:15:46.480 the other two teams. 298 00:15:46.559 --> 00:15:48.080 Yeah, they're starting to separate themselves. 299 00:15:48.200 --> 00:15:48.320 Ken. 300 00:15:48.399 --> 00:15:50.720 Great to hear from you is always my friend after 301 00:15:50.840 --> 00:15:54.279 a Dodger win, especially eight six six nine eight seven 302 00:15:54.320 --> 00:15:56.519 two five seventy is the number. Eight six six nine 303 00:15:56.519 --> 00:15:59.120 eighty seven two five seventy Dodgers get. The win over 304 00:15:59.159 --> 00:16:01.440 the Kansas City was five to four. They jumped out 305 00:16:01.480 --> 00:16:03.440 to a one to nothing lead on the lead off 306 00:16:03.559 --> 00:16:06.679 home run from shoey Otani. Max Munsey's two run home 307 00:16:06.720 --> 00:16:08.960 running the second gave him the lead again three to one. 308 00:16:09.360 --> 00:16:11.759 The Royals would score three runs in the second off 309 00:16:11.840 --> 00:16:13.840 Dustin made to take a four to three lead. It 310 00:16:13.960 --> 00:16:16.840 was back and forth until the fifth, when schoey Otani 311 00:16:16.879 --> 00:16:19.399 and RBI triple made it four to four. Then Mookie 312 00:16:19.480 --> 00:16:22.080 Betts a single up the middle an RBI single made 313 00:16:22.080 --> 00:16:24.559 it a five to four Dodgers lead. Dustin May went 314 00:16:24.639 --> 00:16:27.840 the four innings. He struggled, but the bullpen took over 315 00:16:28.639 --> 00:16:32.840 and they had traffic on every single inning. Luis Garcia, 316 00:16:33.039 --> 00:16:36.600 lu Trevino, Anthony Banda, Alex. 317 00:16:36.360 --> 00:16:38.279 Vesia, and even Tanner Scott. 318 00:16:38.519 --> 00:16:42.440 All the relievers had traffic on the bass pass, but 319 00:16:42.799 --> 00:16:46.679 worked around the traffic on the bass pass to hang 320 00:16:46.799 --> 00:16:47.559 on to a. 321 00:16:47.600 --> 00:16:48.480 Five to four lead. 322 00:16:48.639 --> 00:16:51.000 Got a little got a little dicey there in the 323 00:16:51.159 --> 00:16:54.759 ninth bases loaded one out, but the double play ball 324 00:16:55.960 --> 00:16:59.399 that Tanner Scott was able to induce four to six 325 00:16:59.519 --> 00:17:05.440 three double play. Freddie Freeman saving Rookie Bets's throw from 326 00:17:05.519 --> 00:17:08.319 second base on the double play wins it for the 327 00:17:08.440 --> 00:17:11.519 Dodgers as they beat the Royals five to four. Let's 328 00:17:11.559 --> 00:17:14.000 go to Mike and Irwin Dale has been very patient. 329 00:17:14.200 --> 00:17:15.359 Thank you, Mike. How you doing tonight? 330 00:17:16.480 --> 00:17:19.160 Good kid, Thanks with the game for taking my call. 331 00:17:19.519 --> 00:17:24.279 And yeah, kudos to Max Monthy. H never get bored Washington. 332 00:17:24.440 --> 00:17:27.319 Tannie do his thing. But with Freddy, you know, I 333 00:17:27.400 --> 00:17:31.200 wonder if he said he had a swore quad. That 334 00:17:31.400 --> 00:17:33.680 probably has a lot to do with his swing right 335 00:17:33.759 --> 00:17:35.079 now too, Yeah. 336 00:17:35.000 --> 00:17:35.359 No doubt. 337 00:17:36.640 --> 00:17:40.559 And then uh yeah, say, I know we're short on 338 00:17:40.720 --> 00:17:45.640 starting pitching, but hopefully Snell and Glassdale get back. And 339 00:17:45.839 --> 00:17:50.039 I don't know what put Dustin in the bullpen. He 340 00:17:50.119 --> 00:17:52.240 hasn't had a shutdown inning forever. 341 00:17:52.359 --> 00:17:55.200 It seems like now he has struggled in the era, 342 00:17:55.440 --> 00:17:56.640 is starting to climb a little bit. 343 00:17:56.720 --> 00:17:56.880 Mike. 344 00:17:56.920 --> 00:17:59.119 I appreciate the phone call, Thanks for checking in tonight. 345 00:17:59.559 --> 00:18:01.720 He did have one two three third inning. After all 346 00:18:01.759 --> 00:18:04.039 the traffic on the base bass in the first and 347 00:18:04.160 --> 00:18:07.319 giving up the runs and then giving up the three 348 00:18:07.400 --> 00:18:10.200 runs of the second, he did come back in the 349 00:18:10.319 --> 00:18:12.720 third and have a one to two three inning, and 350 00:18:12.839 --> 00:18:15.720 the fourth started off with the strikeout, a single cot stealing. 351 00:18:16.400 --> 00:18:18.200 He just has to get ahead of the count and 352 00:18:18.279 --> 00:18:20.920 he's got to have pitches that are in the zone 353 00:18:20.960 --> 00:18:24.200 more and Rick Monday talked about that you're throwing your 354 00:18:24.240 --> 00:18:26.400 sweeper out of the zone and you're not getting chases, 355 00:18:26.440 --> 00:18:28.359 and these some of these pitches are so far out 356 00:18:28.400 --> 00:18:31.319 of the zone that there's no way guys are gonna. 357 00:18:31.079 --> 00:18:34.519 Swing at it. They're just they're not good pitches. They're 358 00:18:34.559 --> 00:18:35.839 not pitches that you need to be throwing. 359 00:18:35.839 --> 00:18:38.839 Their wasted pitches in essence, throwing pitches way out of 360 00:18:38.839 --> 00:18:39.680 the strike zone like he. 361 00:18:39.799 --> 00:18:41.319 Was throwing this evening against the Royals. 362 00:18:41.559 --> 00:18:44.960 Now you mentioned Tyler Glass. Now Tyler Glass now Tonight 363 00:18:45.279 --> 00:18:49.720 had a second rehab start in TRIPLEA Oklahoma City. Tyler 364 00:18:49.799 --> 00:18:53.480 Glass now Tonight went two in a third innings in 365 00:18:53.680 --> 00:18:56.599 Oka See in his second rehab appearance, throw the. 366 00:18:56.640 --> 00:18:58.480 Fastball through the slider. 367 00:18:59.480 --> 00:19:02.759 Had a goodlocity, sitting ninety six ninety seven on the fastball. 368 00:19:03.160 --> 00:19:06.880 Here's the problem. They're hitting them around pretty hard. 369 00:19:07.279 --> 00:19:11.519 Two in the third innings, five runs, seven hits, three strikeouts, 370 00:19:11.559 --> 00:19:17.119 a walk, sixty six pitches only thirty seven for strikes. Okay, 371 00:19:17.160 --> 00:19:19.720 he had eleven called strikes nine whiffs. Again to hit 372 00:19:19.759 --> 00:19:24.440 the ball hard against him, And it's a little misleading 373 00:19:24.640 --> 00:19:27.920 because he's out there rehabbing, working on stuff. Maybe he's 374 00:19:28.000 --> 00:19:30.759 leaving pitches in the zone, you know, and they're getting 375 00:19:30.799 --> 00:19:33.200 hit around because he's working on stuff and he's just 376 00:19:33.319 --> 00:19:35.400 working on getting the pitch count up and he's not 377 00:19:35.519 --> 00:19:40.119 necessarily worrying about results. That happens on minor league rehab starts. Right, 378 00:19:40.200 --> 00:19:41.680 the guy can go down there, give U a bunch 379 00:19:41.720 --> 00:19:43.759 of runs, but he's working on things, trying to get 380 00:19:43.839 --> 00:19:45.640 control of things, trying to get his mechanics right. 381 00:19:46.359 --> 00:19:47.920 It's a little misleading, but. 382 00:19:49.680 --> 00:19:53.839 Five runs on seven hits, three strikeouts, two and a 383 00:19:53.920 --> 00:19:58.000 third innings, sixty six pitches, only thirty seven for strikes. 384 00:19:58.440 --> 00:20:01.039 I imagine, well, probab, I'll see him again. I mean, 385 00:20:01.079 --> 00:20:02.440 we'll hear from Dave Roberts here coming up in a 386 00:20:02.480 --> 00:20:06.079 few minutes. Maybe he'll address Tyler Glass now. Maybe he 387 00:20:06.119 --> 00:20:08.920 won't make another start. Maybe that was it built up 388 00:20:09.000 --> 00:20:11.519 to three plus innings and he'll be good to go 389 00:20:11.599 --> 00:20:14.559 before the All Star break. My guess, without having known 390 00:20:14.599 --> 00:20:17.000 what Dave Roberts has said yet, my guess is Tyler 391 00:20:17.039 --> 00:20:20.039 Glastow is going to get one more in the minor leagues. 392 00:20:20.680 --> 00:20:24.039 Let him build up to maybe five innings, maybe build 393 00:20:24.079 --> 00:20:25.519 out to seventy plus pitches. 394 00:20:25.559 --> 00:20:27.119 And he went sixty six pitches tonight. 395 00:20:27.440 --> 00:20:29.960 Maybe get over the seventy mark and then bring him 396 00:20:29.960 --> 00:20:32.720 back into the rotation eight six, six, nine, eighty seven, 397 00:20:32.759 --> 00:20:34.440 two five seven. He will take a break, we'll come back, 398 00:20:34.480 --> 00:20:36.079 we'll get to your phone calls, we'll hear from the manager, 399 00:20:36.160 --> 00:20:38.400 Dave Roberts, and then we'll put a bow on this 400 00:20:38.519 --> 00:20:41.599 Friday night edition of Dodger Talk. Dodgers win in Kansas City. 401 00:20:42.000 --> 00:20:44.200
