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. And now your voice for Dodger Talking like that,
Speaker 1: David Vasse Here we go, Posha too, Old Toney high
Speaker 1: five ball right field, hit pretty deep on the track series.
Speaker 2: At the walk that's tenet o.
Speaker 1: So Hey, Old Tony joins the forty forty club.
Speaker 2: In the most grand fashions, a walk up Grand Flam.
Speaker 3: He is being mommed at the play as the Dodgers
Speaker 3: so great a seven three wins.
Speaker 2: Stephen Nelson on his feet and on the call with
Speaker 2: Rick Monday as show Hey Otani makes history in grand
Speaker 2: fashion with a walk off grand Slam to become the
Speaker 2: Dodgers franchise's first forty forty player. Welcome the Dodger Talk.
Speaker 2: David Vasey live at Dodgers Stadium with you until the
Speaker 2: top of the hour, taking your phone calls. At eight six, six, nine,
Speaker 2: eight seven two five seventy Dodgers beat the Rays seven
Speaker 2: to three to win their fifth in a row eleven
Speaker 2: out of fourteen. Now for the Dodgers, as they are
Speaker 2: off to a great start on this homestand sweeping the
Speaker 2: Seattle Mariners and then getting this going to start off
Speaker 2: the three game weekend series against the Tampa Bay Rays.
Speaker 2: With the win, the Dodgers remained four games ahead of
Speaker 2: Arizona and four and a half games ahead of the
Speaker 2: San Diego Padres. And oh, by the way, the Dodgers
Speaker 2: have the best record in Bay Baseball seventy seven and
Speaker 2: fifty two. And how about this, I'll say this about
Speaker 2: show hey Otani. He is very aware of his surroundings,
Speaker 2: and he's very aware of what people say about him.
Speaker 2: Don't let him fool you one bit. And I'm sure
Speaker 2: he heard the critics saying he can't come up big
Speaker 2: when it counts the most. He has a two nineteen
Speaker 2: batting average with runners in scoring position. He cannot deliver
Speaker 2: when it matters well. Tonight was Otani's second walkoff hit
Speaker 2: for the Dodgers. He had a walk off base hit
Speaker 2: earlier this summer, and tonight his walk off grand slam
Speaker 2: was his first ever career walk off home run in
Speaker 2: Major League Baseball, So that had to be gratifying for
Speaker 2: Otani to deliver in that spot, not only to give
Speaker 2: his team the win, but obviously for himself personally to
Speaker 2: sil the critics, and for the Dodgers, it's a great
Speaker 2: sign that he is ready for the biggest of stages
Speaker 2: in October. Eight six six nine, eight seven two five
Speaker 2: seventy is the phone number. I know there were some
Speaker 2: Dodgers that were disappointed with them letting Jason Hayward go,
Speaker 2: but those that were trying to overstate what it would
Speaker 2: do to the Dodger clubhouse was not watching what was
Speaker 2: taking place on the field tonight, because everybody seemed excited
Speaker 2: and certainly happy to be teammates. Not only was Shoe
Speaker 2: he Otani but with each other on a win like
Speaker 2: that tonight. And Keiky Hernandez got the start at third
Speaker 2: base tonight. He had two hits, including a game tying
Speaker 2: three run home run. So the Dodgers just keep on rolling.
Speaker 2: And I go back to what Clayton Kershaw said in
Speaker 2: Milwaukee after his first win of the season. He said
Speaker 2: he felt like this team was just about to take off,
Speaker 2: and take off they have. They have won eleven of
Speaker 2: their last fourteen, including tonight. They're fifth in a row.
Speaker 2: If you're at the game tonight, I would love to
Speaker 2: hear from you. Eight six, six nine eight seven two
Speaker 2: five seventy. If you were one of the two fans
Speaker 2: that were getting in each other's way in the home
Speaker 2: run seats out there, you both blew it because the
Speaker 2: forty home run ball, the forty forty home run ball,
Speaker 2: bounced back onto the field and Jose Siri instead of
Speaker 2: he probably I don't know if he knew or didn't
Speaker 2: know or what, but he in frustration picked up the
Speaker 2: baseball and threw it back into the stands. And that's
Speaker 2: great for whoever caught it. And you know that's the baseball.
Speaker 2: But there's no way to prove it. That ball is
Speaker 2: not getting authenticated now. So whoever caught that ball from
Speaker 2: Jose Siri, congratulations, you know it, and that's all that matters.
Speaker 2: Take a picture. I hope he took a selfie. Eight
Speaker 2: six six nine seven two five seventy is the phone number.
Speaker 2: Dodgers walk it off thanks to an Otani grand slam
Speaker 2: with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning
Speaker 2: against Colin post Shay in the race, seven to three.
Speaker 2: The final score. All right, let's go out to the phones.
Speaker 2: Let's start with Greg the birthday boy, who was at
Speaker 2: Dodgers Stadium tonight, Happy birthday.
Speaker 4: Greg, Thank you, David. Honored to be talking to you,
Speaker 4: appreciate it. I'm here with my family. We're leaving the
Speaker 4: game right now.
Speaker 2: Hey, that's a great family trip to Dodger Stadium to
Speaker 2: be at.
Speaker 5: No kidding.
Speaker 4: Yeah, woke up this morning to a surprise. We were
Speaker 4: going to the Dodger game tonight. We were sitting in
Speaker 4: a right field right by the foul pole, had a
Speaker 4: great view of show Hayes home run. Absolutely historical night,
Speaker 4: both my boys. We'll remember this forever. Just an amazing
Speaker 4: night at the stadium.
Speaker 2: It really was. And happy birthday, Greg. Sounds like a
Speaker 2: great night. And what a tremendous finish to a tremendous
Speaker 2: night for a tremendous player in sho Hey Otani and
Speaker 2: I love that this sellout crowd at the end of
Speaker 2: the game, obviously waiting for the drone show after the
Speaker 2: game was over. But that made it even better timing
Speaker 2: because this full house was channing MVP for Otani and
Speaker 2: we were talking earlier in the season that Mookie Betts
Speaker 2: was on his way to becoming the first player since
Speaker 2: Frank Robinson to win MVPs in both leagues. Now, show
Speaker 2: Hey Otani, has that in his sights. As Otani is
Speaker 2: on pace now for fifty home runs and fifty stolen bases.
Speaker 2: Let's go out to Joe who was at Dodgers Stadium.
Speaker 2: Where were you sitting tonight, Joe.
Speaker 6: David was in the reserve section right above the Tampa degout.
Speaker 2: So it's a pretty good deal.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is.
Speaker 6: I used to be a games a lot, especially down
Speaker 6: on the field level. I used to run there changes
Speaker 6: and my fourth game this.
Speaker 2: Year, Okay, did you feel like were you one of
Speaker 2: these critics of Otani that he couldn't deliver when he
Speaker 2: counted the most and were you surprised that he delivered?
Speaker 7: Uh?
Speaker 8: No and no.
Speaker 6: In fact, when next when next month he came up,
Speaker 6: I started anticipating it.
Speaker 9: There's two out.
Speaker 6: If Monthy walks, then show, hey is up in time
Speaker 6: for a Grand Slam, and he already got his fortieth
Speaker 6: stolen base. This would be a great way for him
Speaker 6: to end the game. I was really excited watching it.
Speaker 2: All right, Joe, thanks for the phone call. Appreciated. Eight
Speaker 2: six six nine seven two five seventy is the phone
Speaker 2: number if you're just joining us. You missed a tremendous game,
Speaker 2: as show Hey, Otani hits a walk off Grand Slam
Speaker 2: with two outs in the night I ain't thinning, for
Speaker 2: his fortieth home run of the season. And it was
Speaker 2: the first walk off home run by a Dodger since
Speaker 2: Max Mounsey against Craig Kimberl and the Phillies last May.
Speaker 2: And that was Otani's first career walk off home run
Speaker 2: in Major League Baseball. Let's go out to Freddy who
Speaker 2: was at Dodger Stadium tonight. Not Freddie Freeman, but just
Speaker 2: Freddie the fan. How you doing, Freddy?
Speaker 3: I'm good, David, how are you?
Speaker 8: Hey?
Speaker 2: This was a night that I will never forget being
Speaker 2: here to witness Otani making history in such a dramatic way.
Speaker 2: It was pretty special.
Speaker 9: Yeah, that was an amazing game to be at. We
Speaker 9: were up in Loje.
Speaker 10: That the quietness as that ball was going up in
Speaker 10: the air and.
Speaker 9: Getting close to the outfield.
Speaker 3: It was loud as it as he hit, then it
Speaker 3: got really quiet, and then as it went over the fence,
Speaker 3: the whole place just erupted.
Speaker 9: Me and my family we were all in there.
Speaker 4: We were going nuts.
Speaker 11: It was crazy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was pretty special. Freddy. Thank you for the
Speaker 2: phone call. Eight six six nine eighty seven, two five
Speaker 2: seventy is the phone number. By the way, sho Hey.
Speaker 2: Otani becomes just the third Dodger in the last twenty
Speaker 2: years to hit forty home runs in the season. Cody
Speaker 2: Bellinger was the last Dodger to hit forty in a season.
Speaker 2: That was during his MVP season, when Bellinger hit forty
Speaker 2: seven home runs in twenty nineteen. And who could forget
Speaker 2: Adrian Beltrey's career season with the Dodgers forty eight home
Speaker 2: runs in two thousand and four. If you're saying, wait
Speaker 2: a minute, Matt Camp in twenty eleven, Uh huh. Camp
Speaker 2: was a thirty nine home run forty stolen base player
Speaker 2: in twenty eleven when he was the runner up to
Speaker 2: Ryan Brown for the National League MVP that year. Let's
Speaker 2: go back out to the phone's Dean, who was at
Speaker 2: Dodgers Stadium tonight. Hi, Dean, you're on do your talk?
Speaker 9: Hey, thanks for taking my call.
Speaker 11: Yeah, we were just coming home from the game. Really exciting.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was Where were you sitting tonight?
Speaker 6: We were in reserve twenty five.
Speaker 9: We're pretty high up there, but we had a great
Speaker 9: view of it.
Speaker 6: I actually was video tamping.
Speaker 9: I saw the ball on the field and I didn't
Speaker 9: realize it.
Speaker 3: Was a home run.
Speaker 6: So I was between a third and third and home
Speaker 6: and I stopped my video.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm sure from the reserve level you can see
Speaker 2: the trajectory a little bit better. I'm not sure. Maybe
Speaker 2: you could see the ball go over the wall a
Speaker 2: little better from section twenty five. But yeah, a good
Speaker 2: job aving the cell phone out. And that's something we
Speaker 2: have seen all season long. When Otani comes to the plate,
Speaker 2: even in the first inning. It's sort of like when
Speaker 2: you go to a Laker game these days, and everybody
Speaker 2: has their iPhones out when Lebron has the ball, or
Speaker 2: even if you're sitting behind the Laker bench, everybody has
Speaker 2: their iPhone out, even when Lebron's sitting on the bench.
Speaker 2: So that's what it reminds me of. But a night
Speaker 2: like tonight, bases loaded ninth inning, two outs in a
Speaker 2: Tide game, I definitely would have been rolling if I
Speaker 2: was a fan, And if you were, you got rewarded
Speaker 2: by show Heyo tawny tonight eight six six nine eight
Speaker 2: seven two five seventy. Let's walk to Robert. Yeah, you're
Speaker 2: up next, Robert, You're at the plate, right now.
Speaker 3: How you doing, Hey, David, nice to talk to you.
Speaker 3: Nn Well, I was just at the game with my
Speaker 3: son and his wife and it was awesome. We're sitting
Speaker 3: on the left side by the falpole. He saw of
Speaker 3: the trajectory of the ball and it was just awesome.
Speaker 3: And I kept telling my son that's a million dollar
Speaker 3: ball when it got hit. So we're thinking, okay.
Speaker 2: So you saw dollar signs instead of a W.
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's it.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Well no, we said definitely, yeah, but we saw history.
Speaker 3: And that's what I told my son tonight, We're gonna
Speaker 3: see history the fortieth stolen base and the fortieth home run.
Speaker 3: And it came true.
Speaker 2: Hey, that's what's special tonight, Robert. You not only saw
Speaker 2: the fortieth home run on a grand slam to walk
Speaker 2: it off, but you also saw the fortieth stolen base
Speaker 2: in the fourth inning after a single. You know that's
Speaker 2: pretty special too. You got to see both in the
Speaker 2: same night, and what a way to cap it off.
Speaker 2: And I don't know about you, Robert, but now this
Speaker 2: solidifies in my mind two things. Otani is the MVP,
Speaker 2: and number two that when the stage and the lights
Speaker 2: are the brightest, Otani is not going to shy away.
Speaker 2: This is given. Even as great of a player as
Speaker 2: he is, to win it this way, it's got to
Speaker 2: give him even more confidence. I feel like his little
Speaker 2: mini slump here is going to evaporate moving forward.
Speaker 8: Oh definitely.
Speaker 3: I also feel that in the World Series he will
Speaker 3: be the MVP.
Speaker 2: Define what we want, that's what he cares about. Thanks
Speaker 2: for the phone call, Robert. Love the enthusiasm. I love
Speaker 2: hearing from all of you that were actually here at
Speaker 2: Dodger State witnessing history. They say for Nike and Lebron,
Speaker 2: we are all witnesses. I feel like that's applic applicable
Speaker 2: when it comes to uh being a Dodger fan and
Speaker 2: watching show. Hey O, Tani put on a show virtually
Speaker 2: every night in some way. Eight six six nine eight
Speaker 2: seven two five seventy is the phone number. Let's go
Speaker 2: out to John, who also was at Dodger Stadium. Where
Speaker 2: were you watching Otani's Grand Slam?
Speaker 9: John, Yeah, my wife wanted to leave, so we were.
Speaker 9: We were in the car listening to Stephen Nelson's call
Speaker 9: leaving the parking lot so we can get out of
Speaker 9: the parking lot as fast as possible, because that parking
Speaker 9: lot is the worst parking lot in all of baseball.
Speaker 9: No offense. Uh, and I blame my wife, but all
Speaker 9: my wife. Uh, Stephen, my wife, Stephen Nelson had a
Speaker 9: great call, but uh, at first it sounded like it
Speaker 9: was a warning for you know, warning track hit. So
Speaker 9: I wish I could have seen it live because it
Speaker 9: must have been miraculous. I have to say having Bobby
Speaker 9: Miller produce the way he did makes it way more
Speaker 9: comfortable going into the postseason having Kershaw, Miller, and Clarity
Speaker 9: as your top three performers, and hopefully the other guys
Speaker 9: will come around, but the Dodgers definitely have momentum heading
Speaker 9: into the postseason. You're the best, David bat say. And
Speaker 9: I want to give a shout out to Colin he
Speaker 9: because I was the only caller online for the first
Speaker 9: twenty minutes. Because everybody likes to criticize the Dodgers more
Speaker 9: than they like to celebrate the Dodgers. So thank you
Speaker 9: Colin for serving, you know, for hold and serve as
Speaker 9: you always do.
Speaker 2: All right, before you go, John, since you took the
Speaker 2: wife's orders and missed history, that's got to buy you
Speaker 2: at least three weeks of Sunday football where you can
Speaker 2: hang with the boys, right. I feel like you have
Speaker 2: a lot of leverage now going home.
Speaker 9: Yeah. The problem is that my wife's dad was a
Speaker 9: football coach, so football is life in our house.
Speaker 2: Oh well, okay, how about this. I feel like now
Speaker 2: you can go to Vegas with the boys. The weekend
Speaker 2: in Vegas has been earned by leaving the game early
Speaker 2: and missing history. You can tell missus John only.
Speaker 9: Only only if am five seventy and don to don
Speaker 9: Will you know give me an MGM, you know two
Speaker 9: days stage? That would help a lot.
Speaker 2: I feel like our phone line connections getting bad. John.
Speaker 2: I think you should quit while you're ahead. Thanks for
Speaker 2: the phone call. Eight six six mom, man, we cannot
Speaker 2: do that. Eight six six nine eight seven two five
Speaker 2: seventy is the phone number. We're gonna take a time out.
Speaker 2: We have a full board of calls. I feel all
Speaker 2: your excitement and we will take more of your calls

Speaker 2: Show. Hay Otani becomes the fastest player in baseball history
Speaker 2: to hit forty home runs and steal forty bases in
Speaker 2: a season. He stole his fortieth base of the season
Speaker 2: in the fourth inning off of Tyler What was that
Speaker 2: starter's named? Tyler Alexander? And then his fortieth home run,
Speaker 2: a walk off Grand Slam in the bottom of the
Speaker 2: ninth inning with two outs to give the Dodgers a
Speaker 2: seven to three win. And after the game, we had

Speaker 12: appreciate you so much?
Speaker 13: On the Colonel Aijel Montoy Conset, Mvpino Consett, Sanhamuli e Ski.
Speaker 2: Montan.
Speaker 8: Really tremendously honored to be able to do this and
Speaker 8: find this passionate crowd. And I'm just hoping that I
Speaker 8: could continue to do this, you know, each.
Speaker 2: Game, show Hey, forty forty is somewhat of a personal chivement.
Speaker 2: But to achieve it this way in the team goal
Speaker 2: to win the game, how much how much more special
Speaker 2: could it be?
Speaker 13: Memo not Tatino?
Speaker 10: Do you.
Speaker 3: Do you.
Speaker 2: Chance this?
Speaker 8: It's really guys getting on base, sacrifice fun, you know,
Speaker 8: choosing the walks. It's it's really a team effort. So
Speaker 8: I was happy to be able to part of, you know,
Speaker 8: to finish it off.
Speaker 2: Final question for for you, show, Hey, you came to
Speaker 2: the Dodgers for moments like this, You are achieving those
Speaker 2: moments and much more to come. Is this everything you
Speaker 2: thought it would be?
Speaker 8: Obviously, today is probably one of my top memorable moments.
Speaker 2: As a Dodger, and you.
Speaker 8: Know, hopefully I'll be able to over, you know, top
Speaker 8: this by winning the postseason, winning the World Series.
Speaker 2: It was memorable for all of us. Sell out crowd
Speaker 2: at Dodgers Stadium, m VP Chance for Shoo Tani, thank
Speaker 2: you for entertaining us as much as you do.
Speaker 8: Things.
Speaker 2: Every night, it's the show at Dodger Stadium with sho
Speaker 2: Hei Otani, a forty forty player, the first Dodger player
Speaker 2: to reach that milestone and becomes just the sixth player
Speaker 2: in baseball history to have at least forty home runs
Speaker 2: and forty stolen bases. No player in baseball history has
Speaker 2: ever hit fifty home runs and fifty stolen bases in
Speaker 2: the same season, but Otani right now is on pace
Speaker 2: to be a fifty home run player and a fifty
Speaker 2: stolen base player as well. When you look at the
Speaker 2: probability of that happening, there are thirty three games left
Speaker 2: for Otani to achieve fifty to fifty. For him, it
Speaker 2: takes a home run every three point two four games
Speaker 2: to reach fifty homers or steals over one hundred and
Speaker 2: sixty two games. With forty homers through one hundred and
Speaker 2: twenty nine games, Otani is averaging a home run every
Speaker 2: three point two five games, so he's on pace for
Speaker 2: the fifty home runs and fifty steals. Dodgers walk it
Speaker 2: off on Otani's Grand Slam seven to three. We heard
Speaker 2: the call a few times on Dodgers Radio and five
Speaker 2: to seventy LA Sports with Rick Monday and Steven Nelson.
Speaker 2: This is how it sounded on Sportsnet LA with Joe
Speaker 2: Davis and Eric kay Arrows.

Speaker 1: He's at the track, He's.
Speaker 2: At the wall.
Speaker 7: Flock Slama.

Speaker 2: Davis with the historic call. Joe Davis on Sportsnet LA
Speaker 2: and Steven Nelson on Dodgers Radio AM five to seventy
Speaker 2: LA Sports as Otani hits a walk off Grand Slam,
Speaker 2: his first ever walk off home run, to become the
Speaker 2: dodgers first forty forty player in the franchise's history. Daniels

Speaker 2: boarder call, so let's get to them. Adrian who is
Speaker 2: that Dodger Stadium tonight you're on Dodger Talk.
Speaker 5: Hi, Adrian, Hi, thank you for taking my call. My
Speaker 5: husband and I were on a date night and we
Speaker 5: drove all the way from Palmdale. I'm I'm sure I
Speaker 5: few where that is. We were in the loot section
Speaker 5: and the night was just amazing. From the start, it
Speaker 5: was a beautiful summer night. We were excited about seeing
Speaker 5: the drone show. Geek's home run was unbelievable. It just
Speaker 5: really lifted us all up, and you know, everyone was
Speaker 5: just excited. And then I'm so proud of my Dodger
Speaker 5: fans that they didn't leave early. They stayed and stuck
Speaker 5: it out because we just believed, we believed. We didn't
Speaker 5: try to get out in that parking lot. I know
Speaker 5: one of your callers said that I know about that
Speaker 5: parking lot. But tonight there was just something in the air.
Speaker 5: We felt like something was going to happen, and it
Speaker 5: was sort of like Tani's last chance at bat and
Speaker 5: he did it.
Speaker 7: He did it.
Speaker 5: Ever, everyone was on their feet already just waiting, just hoping,
Speaker 5: and it was just it was just so much. It
Speaker 5: was just amazing. It's fantastic. It was just one big celebration,
Speaker 5: one big party in Dodger Stadium, and then that love
Speaker 5: La song came on. It's something I'm never gonna forget.
Speaker 5: I want a wonderful date night.
Speaker 2: Yeah, good date night. I'm glad you guys made it
Speaker 2: out from Palmdale. Thanks for the phone call. Adrian appreciated
Speaker 2: the game or the pregame festivities started with Universal Studios
Speaker 2: Night here at Dodgers Stadium, and that was a movie
Speaker 2: like finish. In the bottom of the ninth inning, show
Speaker 2: hey Otani's walk off grand Slam for his fortieth home
Speaker 2: run of the season, and Adrian brought up a great
Speaker 2: point lost in the you know dramatics of Otani movie
Speaker 2: like finish in the middle of this game was Keik
Speaker 2: Hernandez getting the start at third base and coming up
Speaker 2: with the biggest hit at that point in time, a
Speaker 2: three run home run against Tyler Alexander, who was stifling
Speaker 2: the Dodgers to that point. He knocked them out of
Speaker 2: the game and that tied the game at three, and
Speaker 2: that's where we were in the ninth inning. Not to
Speaker 2: mention Bobby Miller getting better as the game went along
Speaker 2: tonight for his best start of the season for him
Speaker 2: six innings, nine strikeouts, allowed just three earned runs, so
Speaker 2: that also is encouraging for the Dodgers. Moving forward. Let's
Speaker 2: go out to Lena, who is at Dodgers Stadium tonight. Hi, Lena,
Speaker 2: you're on Dodger Talk.
Speaker 14: Why I'm driving home. I'm driving to Ventura I third
Speaker 14: time this week, third time this week. And when I
Speaker 14: left Wednesday night, it was like, oh my gosh, this
Speaker 14: may happen Friday.
Speaker 9: And it did.
Speaker 14: I said to my friend who met me there, this
Speaker 14: couldn't be written.
Speaker 7: Any better.
Speaker 14: I said, Monthy's going to walk and Otani's gonna hit
Speaker 14: a grand slam.
Speaker 9: Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2: Oh maybe you should go buy a lottery ticket.
Speaker 15: If you saw that vision, you saw the vision of
Speaker 15: Monthly walking and Otani hitting a grand slam, I feel
Speaker 15: like you should pull off and get somewhere in came
Speaker 15: Rio to get to a liquor store and get a
Speaker 15: lottery ticket.
Speaker 14: Yeah, I'm I'm getting close to Camrio.
Speaker 11: I'm liking a Goora Hills.
Speaker 14: Or something so good.
Speaker 6: Good idea.
Speaker 14: All right, anyway, it just what a week.
Speaker 13: What a week?
Speaker 14: What a week.
Speaker 2: Everybody was poking holes in the Dodgers and all of
Speaker 2: a sudden, now they have a five game winning streak, Lena,
Speaker 2: and the best record in baseball. I feel like a
Speaker 2: lot of teams would love to be the Dodgers these days, right.
Speaker 14: I'm a huge Monthly fan, so I was there Monday
Speaker 14: when he came back.
Speaker 7: Yes, and it's just kind of.
Speaker 2: Been this week of the week of Monthsye until tonight.
Speaker 7: Thanks to the phone call.
Speaker 2: Lena dre drives safely back up to Ventura. Appreciate the
Speaker 2: phone call. Yeah. Max Monsey had a great three games
Speaker 2: against the Mariners. Two home runs, a double, six RBIs
Speaker 2: and don't discount is at bat in the bottom of
Speaker 2: the ninth inning. That's the value of Max Munsey as well.
Speaker 2: He is not going to swing at pitches outside of
Speaker 2: the strike zone. It was certainly a challenge for Calin
Speaker 2: Potsche to throw a strike. In fact, he almost while
Speaker 2: pitched the game over on the first pitch. He through
Speaker 2: the monsie with Will Smith at third base. If it
Speaker 2: goes any farther, Will Smith may score on the wild
Speaker 2: pitch and we don't see the dramatics of show Hey
Speaker 2: Otani in the ninth inning tonight, Let's go out to
Speaker 2: Stephanie who is at Dodger Stadium. Were you on a
Speaker 2: date night as well tonight, Stephanie.
Speaker 5: No, Actually I.
Speaker 14: Took my nephew DJ, who's here with me.
Speaker 9: We're driving back.
Speaker 2: That was a date night, aunt, nephew date night.
Speaker 14: Yeah, and he's nine years old and it was his
Speaker 14: first baseball game ever.
Speaker 2: It was so cool that was his first baseball game either. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's amazing, that's amazing. Yeah, I'm sure show Hey Otani
Speaker 2: is his favorite player.
Speaker 9: Now, Yeah, he is.
Speaker 5: And it was really great just getting to explain baseball
Speaker 5: to him and just you know, getting to take him and.
Speaker 14: Getting you know, kind of going through all the motions
Speaker 14: and explaining what it meant in the history.
Speaker 4: And he just got a kick out of it.
Speaker 1: He was just so excited.
Speaker 3: It was.
Speaker 11: It was just great to see him going, Saye's.
Speaker 2: Amazing, all right, glad you guys came out good aunt
Speaker 2: right there. Bringing it to a game where Showe Aotani
Speaker 2: hits his fortieth home run in grand style, a walk
Speaker 2: off grand slam tonight, seven to three. The final score.
Speaker 2: Michael Kopek, by the way, is the winning pitcher in relief,
Speaker 2: and Manuel Rodriguez takes the loss for the Rays, and
Speaker 2: tomorrow Clayton Kersh will be on the mound, coming off
Speaker 2: his best start of this season, six scoreless innings in
Speaker 2: Saint Louis while only throwing seventy pitches. Let's go out
Speaker 2: to Christina who was at Dodger Stadium tonight. Hi, Christina,
Speaker 2: you're on Dodger Talk.
Speaker 11: Hi.
Speaker 9: I was there.
Speaker 11: It was super exciting. We were behind home plate at reserve,
Speaker 11: so we had moved over for the drone show to
Speaker 11: center field. So my husband asked security to watch our stuff,
Speaker 11: and we walked right up to the edge of center
Speaker 11: field and saw it right when it happened.
Speaker 2: So, what do you mean the edge of center field?
Speaker 2: Were you behind the wall? Where were you in the
Speaker 2: center field plaza?
Speaker 11: We're in the pavilion. Yeah, we were at the ultra
Speaker 11: bar area.
Speaker 2: Okay, So you saw the ball go like clank off
Speaker 2: those two fans's hands. Those two fans said it clanked
Speaker 2: off their hands and Jose Siri threw the ball back
Speaker 2: into the stands after a back onto the field. Yeah,
Speaker 2: all right, awesome. It sounds like you had a great
Speaker 2: time thanks to the phone call. Eight six six, nine
Speaker 2: eighty seven two five seventy is the phone number. We're
Speaker 2: going a little overtime here because we have a lot
Speaker 2: of fans that want to express their gratitude and excitement
Speaker 2: with Otani's forty forty night, a walk off grand Slam
Speaker 2: in the bottom of the ninth inning. Let's take a
Speaker 2: few more. Julian, who is at Dodger Stadium tonight? Hi, Julian,
Speaker 2: you're on Dodger Talk.
Speaker 9: Hey, David, don't you be talking to me?
Speaker 3: Man?
Speaker 7: How's it going?
Speaker 2: It's going great? You know, I just thought about something.
Speaker 2: I feel like the good luck charm tonight was the
Speaker 2: Captain Morgan look by Eric Carross in the Sports Net
Speaker 2: La Booth. I feel like now he is going to
Speaker 2: have to continue the stash and soul patch look the
Speaker 2: rest of the season because Otani had a big night
Speaker 2: with Carros looking like like Johnny Depp and the Pirates
Speaker 2: of the ca Bean and also, you know, Captain Morgan
Speaker 2: a Phil Jackson blend. I feel like he's got to
Speaker 2: stay with that style, right, Julian, Yeah, he has to,
Speaker 2: he has to, all right, Where were you sitting tonight, Julian.
Speaker 9: So, David, I was in the reserve behind home plate.
Speaker 2: I took my my drum student I.
Speaker 10: Had to his first ever Dodger game for his twelfth birthday.
Speaker 10: We had an incredible time. He was so happy to
Speaker 10: witness history and get this.
Speaker 13: David.
Speaker 10: So we're sitting there losing in the third inning or whatever,
Speaker 10: and he turns around to me and he goes, so
Speaker 10: it's gonna be the bottom of the nights with two outs,
Speaker 10: Showhitkany's gonna come up with the bases loaded, and he's
Speaker 10: gonna hit a grand slam.
Speaker 9: I kids you not, I kid you not.
Speaker 10: It was an unbelievable special night. And hey, I also
Speaker 10: don't want.
Speaker 6: To overlook, you know, the pitching staff.
Speaker 10: You know, after keyk came up and hit the game
Speaker 10: time home run in the fifth inning, Bobby Miller with
Speaker 10: a shutdown inning in the sixth, and then Brave and
Speaker 10: Phillips and Kopet come in and keep it at three
Speaker 10: so Ashani can do it.
Speaker 7: He did.
Speaker 9: Man, what an amazing night.
Speaker 10: And I'm so proud of this team for turning around
Speaker 10: after such a rough to lie and we're getting healthy
Speaker 10: and I'm just really excited.
Speaker 9: For what's to come.
Speaker 2: No doubt, Julian. The Dodgers are starting to get momentum
Speaker 2: at the perfect time. I still hadn't felt like they
Speaker 2: were playing their best baseball. I feel like they hadn't
Speaker 2: played their best baseball all season long. Now they're healthy,
Speaker 2: They've added Kevin Kiermier, Tommy Edmond, and the Dodgers have
Speaker 2: a healthy lineup now, and it feels like the stars
Speaker 2: are aligning. Things are starting to come together perfectly. If
Speaker 2: they can get starts like they got tonight from Bobby
Speaker 2: Miller and the starts like they got from Kershawn Saint
Speaker 2: Louis Gavin Stone during the last series, the momentum is
Speaker 2: going to build and continue, and that's how they're going
Speaker 2: to reach their potential. The bullpen is starting to get
Speaker 2: fresh arms. They're not being relied upon as much as
Speaker 2: they were, say, right out of the All Star Break
Speaker 2: and going into the All Star break, because starters are
Speaker 2: going deeper into the game. So all those things are
Speaker 2: starting to come together for the Dodgers to make me
Speaker 2: believe we're getting a glimpse of them starting to play
Speaker 2: their best baseball of the season at the perfect time.
Speaker 2: All Right, We're gonna walk it off right now. With
Speaker 2: a man that always loves to dive into la sports history,
Speaker 2: whether it's getting into the camera shot after a Kobe
Speaker 2: Bryant game winning shot, whether it's Adrian Belchase forty eighth
Speaker 2: home run or on a night that show, Hey, Otani
Speaker 2: becomes a forty to forty player. The great legendary Victor
Speaker 2: Brigg Jacob stayed up late to give the fans his
Speaker 2: thoughts on Otani accomplishing something in grand style. Feeling you, Vic, David, Guys,
Speaker 2: feeling you.
Speaker 7: What an electric night, creating rapture at the ravine with
Speaker 7: Otani San, my beloved bride. You go Suckamono myself, you know,
Speaker 7: screaming into the windio nights. And we're getting texts from
Speaker 7: all over Japan, all relatives and Japan. They were texting
Speaker 7: us with two words, ichi bon number one, Ichi bon
Speaker 7: number one, Oltani San, and what a clutch clutch crazy
Speaker 7: at bat with two OUs and as as you alluded to, DV,
Speaker 7: his first ever walk off home run in the major leagues,
Speaker 7: just making everyone giddy. Forty forty man, what a majestic performance.
Speaker 7: Love watching him play. I'm we're testifying, we're seeing the
Speaker 7: greatest player in baseball. As you say, he is the
Speaker 7: MVP at this point in the season. He's just playing
Speaker 7: tremendous baseball, forty steels, forty home runs, Oltani Shan feeling
Speaker 7: you and Dodga fans of forty one thousand strong after
Speaker 7: ravine tonight, Enjoy, enjoy, and bask in the after glow
Speaker 7: of old Tani San.
Speaker 2: I'm feeling you. There he goes Vic, the Brig Jacobs
Speaker 2: with two thirty in the afternoon energy at eleven at
Speaker 2: night on a Friday night. Man, his neighbors must have
Speaker 2: been wondering what was going on with him in his
Speaker 2: beautiful bride Yukosakamoto making screaming like that in the middle
Speaker 2: of the night. But it was Otani hitting a grand
Speaker 2: slam that rocked the wittier dojo with the great Victor
Speaker 2: Brigg Jacobs. So thank you Vic for adding that. All
Speaker 2: right tomorrow Clayton Kershaw will be on the mound Kershaw Day.
Speaker 2: Clayton Kershaw is two and two this season, with an
Speaker 2: ERA of two sixty three and a funny Kershaw story.
Speaker 2: This und afternoon, former Dodger Johnny de Luca was catching
Speaker 2: up with a few of the Dodger coaches before batting
Speaker 2: practice today. I was standing next to Kershaw in front
Speaker 2: of the Dodger dugout and De Luca started to come
Speaker 2: over to try to say hello to Kershaw and exchange pleasantries,
Speaker 2: but Kershaw waved him off and said, hey, we're not friends.
Speaker 2: We're not friends until after tomorrow. I gotta face you tomorrow.
Speaker 2: Don't come over here. Get out of here. A rookie
Speaker 2: mistake by Johnny de Luca trying to embrace Kershaw the
Speaker 2: day before he was going to face him. That's kind
Speaker 2: of the standard rule, by the way, you don't interact
Speaker 2: with the starting picture, even if you were teammates the
Speaker 2: day before you're going to face him, if that picture
Speaker 2: has any sort of competitive fire inside of him, and
Speaker 2: we all know Kershaw's got a lot of that. So
Speaker 2: I enjoyed witnessing that as well to start my day.
Speaker 2: That was awesome, and De Luca scampered away. Hey, de Luca,
Speaker 2: you could say hello on Sun. You don't say hello
Speaker 2: Friday to Kershaw. All right, he's a Kershaw by the way.
Speaker 2: It's facing Taj Bradley Morongo Casino. Dodgers on Deck begins
Speaker 2: at five o'clock tomorrow with first pitch at six '
Speaker 2: ten from Dodgers Stadium. That'll do it for us tonight
Speaker 2: thanks to Colin Yee back at our Burg Bank Studios,
Speaker 2: thanks to Dwayne McDonald out here at Dodger Stadium, and
Speaker 2: thanks to all of you who called in and shared
Speaker 2: with us your experience of witnessing Otani and Dodger history.
Speaker 2: Otani hitting a walk off Grand Slam tonight to beat
Speaker 2: the Race seven to three. Otani now officially a forty
Speaker 2: to forty player, the fastest player in baseball history to
Speaker 2: achieve that in a season, and he's got a site
Speaker 2: set on fifty to fifty and a World Series championship
Speaker 2: once again. The final score from Dodgers Stadium. It was
Speaker 2: showtime in the ninth inning as Otani walks it off
Speaker 2: and the Dodgers beat the Rays seven to three. Have
Speaker 2: a great rest of your night see them playing
