Speaker 2: Well, the Dodgers get a must needed win against the
Speaker 2: Chicago Cubs to wrap up this three game series and
Speaker 2: put a bow on this final Homestand here before the
Speaker 2: final homestand of the regulars season is the Dodgers get
Speaker 2: the win against the Chicago Cubs. To nine, ten to
Speaker 2: eight is your final Eight sixty six nine eighty seven
Speaker 2: two five seventy is our phone number. Jump on board.
Speaker 2: If you're at the game tonight, you're one of the
Speaker 2: forty eight thousand, six and ninety one there for Max

Speaker 2: you're heading home and you're driving around, you watch it.
Speaker 2: I want to hear from you. Eight six six nine
Speaker 2: eighty seven two five seventy eight sixty six nine eighty
Speaker 2: seven two five seventy. You also follow me on Twitter
Speaker 2: and x at Tim Kats, Tim Tes. The Dodgers tonight
Speaker 2: had Bobby Miller on the mound. He gave up two
Speaker 2: runs in the first inning, after getting the first two
Speaker 2: batters of the game out on six pitches, he had
Speaker 2: back to back walks with two outs and then back
Speaker 2: to back singles, and just like that, what was a
Speaker 2: good start for the first two batters of the game
Speaker 2: turned into a rough first inning for Bobby Miller, and
Speaker 2: it kind of feels like Bobby Miller just can't get
Speaker 2: out of his own way. Bobby Miller got the first
Speaker 2: two batters out on six pitches and then struggle with
Speaker 2: the command, didn't get any chases from the Chicago Cubs hitters,
Speaker 2: and when he did get the ball over the play,
Speaker 2: back to back singles, including one to right field to
Speaker 2: get a run on the board from Prentice, then Michael
Speaker 2: Bush the RBI double, and what should have been a
Speaker 2: one two three inning, if not just a clean inning,
Speaker 2: turned into a two run top of the first for
Speaker 2: the Chicago Cubs. Thankfully, the Dodgers answer back with an
Speaker 2: historic bottom of the first inning tonight, four home runs
Speaker 2: Shoey O'tani goes deep and then back to back to
Speaker 2: back home runs from Tommy Edmund, will Smith and Max Munsey.
Speaker 2: The first time in franchise history, the Dodgers they hit
Speaker 2: four home runs in the first inning historic, and despite
Speaker 2: the five to two lead, Bobby Miller still goes out
Speaker 2: and struggles, leaving in the fifth inning after giving up
Speaker 2: a three run home run to Cody Bellinger. Bobby Miller
Speaker 2: has got to turn things around fast. Is there enough
Speaker 2: time to do it? I just don't know. And with
Speaker 2: that being said, Bobby Miller's position on the postseason rosters
Speaker 2: in serious jeopardy. And right now the Dodgers are so
Speaker 2: they're desperately looking for somebody to take over as a
Speaker 2: starter come to postseason because right now they've got one
Speaker 2: arm they can rely on in Jack Flaherty come October.
Speaker 2: I think Yoshi Yamamoto is gonna get there, and based
Speaker 2: off everything we saw last night, if he continues to
Speaker 2: pitch like that in his next few starts here before
Speaker 2: the postseason, certainly you're gonna put him in there as
Speaker 2: one of the Dodgers' top two starters going into October
Speaker 2: in the postseason. But we just need more sample size.
Speaker 2: First game back, sixty pitches, fantastic last night in his
Speaker 2: return after missing three months. Gotta see it again and
Speaker 2: then got to see it again after that before we
Speaker 2: can make any real, real adjustments and decisions on whether
Speaker 2: or not he's good to go for October. Clayton Kershaw's hurt.
Speaker 2: Tyler Glass now is hurt. Gavin Stone's heard the Dodgers
Speaker 2: are looking looking for somebody to, as Rick Monday says,
Speaker 2: raise their hand and say, I'll be that guy. Hey,
Speaker 2: you need a third starter, I'll be that guy. And
Speaker 2: they're still looking and Bobby Miller is not making a
Speaker 2: case to be one of those guys come October. And
Speaker 2: it hurts for me to say that because I really
Speaker 2: like Bobby Miller. He was big time for them last year.
Speaker 2: He's still a big time talent. But for whatever reason,
Speaker 2: he'll come out and have that first inning like he
Speaker 2: did tonight, and he'll have one of those innings in
Speaker 2: every start where he comes out boom, six pitches, two outs,
Speaker 2: looking good. Could they get out of a clean first inning?
Speaker 2: Give the Dodgers offense a chance to get things going
Speaker 2: on the bottom of the first, and next thing you know,
Speaker 2: bing bang, boom, boom, four batters and he's walked to
Speaker 2: and he's giving up two singles, double and just like that,
Speaker 2: it's a two to nothing Cubs lead. Just cannot happen.
Speaker 2: This were October in a game one of an NLDS
Speaker 2: and you're giving up two runs in the first can't happen.
Speaker 2: Can't put the Dodgers in a hole because they're not
Speaker 2: gonna have a historic another first thing like they had tonight.
Speaker 2: In the history of the franchise, they've never had a
Speaker 2: first inning which they've hit four home runs until tonight.
Speaker 2: You can't keep putting the team in holes. They can't
Speaker 2: keep happening. They need starting pitchers who are gonna put
Speaker 2: up zeros and keep them in games. And right now
Speaker 2: here on September eleventh, one guy you can count on
Speaker 2: is Jack Flaherty. We'll find out about Tyler Glassanew's heuse.
Speaker 2: We don't know about Clayton Kershaw's health. Gavin Stone not
Speaker 2: looking likely. He's coming back just based on the calendar
Speaker 2: and being at September eleventh, and he hasn't even started throwing.
Speaker 2: Not a lot of time to ramp him back up. Now.
Speaker 2: I look at Tony Gonsolin, a name that we haven't
Speaker 2: talked about it all this year because he's coming back
Speaker 2: from Tommy John surgery. He's almost thirteen months post Tommy
Speaker 2: John surgery and he was in OKAC pitching two innings yesterday.
Speaker 2: To me, I envisioned Tony Gonsolin looking around saying, man,
Speaker 2: this team needs help. I'm the guy. All be the help,
Speaker 2: All be the arm. And I just envisioned Tony Gonsolin
Speaker 2: grabbing his cats and saying, let's go. I needed to
Speaker 2: get some innings under my belt. I gotta go help
Speaker 2: this team out. Nobody else is healthy. I'm the closest
Speaker 2: thing to a healthy starting pitcher. Give me some innings
Speaker 2: at OKAC and next time out. We expect Tony Gonsolin
Speaker 2: to build on those two innings that he pitched in
Speaker 2: Triple A. Maybe he's built up enough to give him
Speaker 2: four innings in a playoff start.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I don't think this feels like though last year in
Speaker 2: Walker Buehler. Remember Walker Buehler was trying so hard to
Speaker 2: come back from his elbow surgery and made some starts
Speaker 2: in the minor leagues, and we kind of thought, oh, right,
Speaker 2: maybe there's a chance we see Walker Buehler in some
Speaker 2: capacity in the playoffs, and they shut him down to
Speaker 2: get him ready for twenty twenty four, and we never
Speaker 2: saw it. I think this is different. I think this
Speaker 2: is now the Dodgers are in need of starting pitching,
Speaker 2: and Tony Gonsolin could be that guy, and I think
Speaker 2: they look at him as all right, that call to
Speaker 2: the bullpen for help is Tony Tony Gonsolin picking up
Speaker 2: the phone and he is rapidly trying to get ready. Now,
Speaker 2: they're not going to force him back if he's not ready. Certainly,
Speaker 2: you don't rush a guy back from Tommy John Surry
Speaker 2: just because you need help in starting pitching. They'd be
Speaker 2: crazy to do. That would never happen. But what this
Speaker 2: leads me to believe is if he's pitching two innings
Speaker 2: in OKAC and he could be ramping up to three
Speaker 2: next time out, maybe forty five to fifty pitches, well
Speaker 2: that's telling me that he's good and he's trying to
Speaker 2: get out to help out this Dodger team. Here in October,
Speaker 2: we'll see. There's still enough time, I think, for this
Speaker 2: Dodger rotation to find some clarity between now and the
Speaker 2: end of the month and the start of the NLDS.
Speaker 2: But certainly, as days come off the calendar, Dodger fans
Speaker 2: the biggest glaring need is starting pitching. And I think
Speaker 2: it's a conversation we all have to start having and
Speaker 2: having quickly because this Dodger's offense. I'm not worried about
Speaker 2: the Dodgers defense outside of what happened last night. I'm
Speaker 2: not worried about it. I'm not the bullpen. Give him
Speaker 2: some rest. When you get down to postseason baseball, I
Speaker 2: think they'll be okay. But let's be honest, we're counting
Speaker 2: days off the calendar here and there's not enough starting pitching.
Speaker 2: Yoshiyamamoto one or two more starts, yeah, I'll feel a
Speaker 2: little bit more confident. I'll feel better about where we're
Speaker 2: at to go along with Jack Flarity, Clayton Kershaw's trending
Speaker 2: in the right direction throwing off a mound, but that
Speaker 2: turf toe scares me. Jack Flarity throwing sim games getting
Speaker 2: closer still is a huge question mark to me. And
Speaker 2: for a guy who didn't even want to go on
Speaker 2: the il to now hasn't made a rehab start and
Speaker 2: hasn't been checked off and healthy to come back now
Speaker 2: what three and a half weeks later. Maybe it was
Speaker 2: worse than we thought as far as that inflammation in
Speaker 2: the elbow, and it's a good thing they shut him
Speaker 2: down to give him some rest and get him ready
Speaker 2: for October. Now, that's the thing. He needs to be
Speaker 2: ready for October. They need him. The Dodgers need starting pitching.
Speaker 2: They need to get healthy quick eight six six nine
Speaker 2: eighty seven two five seventy eight six six nine eighty
Speaker 2: seven two five seventy. Bobby Miller Tonight, four and a
Speaker 2: third innings, six runs, five hits, four walks, two strikeouts.
Speaker 2: You give up a couple of home runs, put him
Speaker 2: himself in a hole in the Dodgers in a hole
Speaker 2: with two runs in the first inning. They got out
Speaker 2: of that hole. He put him back into a hole.
Speaker 2: The game was tied, the Dodgers lead was evaporated by
Speaker 2: the fifth inning. Let's go back out to Dodgers dating.
Speaker 2: Let's hear from Bobby Miller on what happened tonight.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean the bad obviously the homers. It's just
Speaker 3: been the story every adding right now. But yeah, they
Speaker 3: set a previous odding, like what happens before the homers.
Speaker 3: A couple walks, you know, wasn't for that, it would
Speaker 3: have been like one run inning in the first inning,
Speaker 3: I believe. Other than that, I mean, it's falling behind
Speaker 3: a couple hitters, but they also just put together some
Speaker 3: good swings on really good pitches as well, like a
Speaker 3: couple of really good swings on changeups, a couple of
Speaker 3: curveballs fast ou At the end, I felt like I
Speaker 3: got it to the spot I wanted to, and Cody
Speaker 3: just put a great swing on it.
Speaker 4: I don't have to just say, guess kind of sometimes
Speaker 4: put the blinders up and things since this aren't necessarily
Speaker 4: going away, but also trying to give as much length
Speaker 4: as you can.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's hard, you know, I'm going through it right
Speaker 3: now to say the least. But you know there's no
Speaker 3: doubt in my mind that I'm giving it my all
Speaker 3: every single time I'm out there. You know, try showing
Speaker 3: up early every single day. I'm putting the most amount
Speaker 3: of working I possibly can. You know, I'm just trying
Speaker 3: to give him a good game every time I'm out there.
Speaker 3: You know, I'm so I'm not It's not like I'm
Speaker 3: not working.
Speaker 5: Hard or anything.
Speaker 2: I'm working as.
Speaker 3: Hard as I can. You know, I'm doing everything I
Speaker 3: can to have success out there, and I'm giving it
Speaker 3: my all every single time I'm out there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's why I feel for Bobby Miller. This is
Speaker 2: a guy who's working his tail off to try to
Speaker 2: figure it out, try to get back to the Bobby
Speaker 2: Miller from last season that was so dominant and helped
Speaker 2: out the Dodger rotation when they again were going through
Speaker 2: injuries in twenty twenty three. Twenty twenty four has just
Speaker 2: not been the year for Bobby Miller's just never been
Speaker 2: able to get on track after his opening start of
Speaker 2: the year in which he was absolutely filthy and dominating
Speaker 2: for the Dodgers and then just could not get right.
Speaker 2: Has bad innings in every start, innings that you just
Speaker 2: scratch your head is to like what happened? He got
Speaker 2: two quick outs and all of a sudden there's runners
Speaker 2: on and there's a base hit and there's a double.
Speaker 2: It's a two to nothing game. Whats guy was happening?
Speaker 2: And one of those twenty three pitch innings in which
Speaker 2: she just labors out there and then they'll come back
Speaker 2: and have a ten pitch, one, two three inning, and
Speaker 2: you're scratching your head, like, where's the consistency from Bobby Miller?
Speaker 2: And that's been the issue all season long. Good innings,
Speaker 2: bad innings, bad outings more than good outings, and just
Speaker 2: has not been able to get out of neutral all
Speaker 2: season long eight sixty six, nine eighty seven, two five seven.
Speaker 2: He will take break, We'll come back. We'll get to
Speaker 2: your phone calls. We'll also check in with Jose Mota.
Speaker 2: We'll hear from the manager Dave Roberts as well. Dodgers
Speaker 2: get the win tonight. Five home runs, including back to
Speaker 2: back to back home runs in the first from Tommy Edmond,
Speaker 2: Will Smith, Max Munsey, Devan goes deep again in the
Speaker 2: eighth and show hey O tany one step closer to
Speaker 2: becoming the first fifty to fifty player ever in Major
Speaker 2: League Baseball. Home run tonight number forty seven and a
Speaker 2: stolen base tonight number forty eight. We'll come back more

Speaker 6: Two pins swung onhead high in the air to right,
Speaker 6: this ball's back and the Dodgers for those second time
Speaker 6: this yeah have gone back to pack to pack in
Speaker 6: the first sending the home run hat trick Max Monthly
Speaker 6: home run number fourteen.
Speaker 2: It is five the two Dodgers.
Speaker 1: Can you believe this?
Speaker 2: Back to back to back home runs from Tommy Edmund,
Speaker 2: Willis Smith Max Munsey in the bottom of the first
Speaker 2: The Dodgers set a franchise record for four home runs
Speaker 2: in the first inning, and you include Shoey O'tani's leadoff
Speaker 2: home run as they go on and beat the Cubs
Speaker 2: ten to eight. The official sponsor of the Trip around

Speaker 2: Dodgers get the win tonight over the Cubs. Alex Vessi
Speaker 2: gets to winning and relieve Michael Kopek walk the base
Speaker 2: is loaded, gave up a run but ends up getting
Speaker 2: to save his thirteenth of the season, as the Dodgers
Speaker 2: improved to eighty seven to fifty nine as their leading
Speaker 2: to Division now five over Arizona five and a half
Speaker 2: game lead over San Diego with sixteen games left. The
Speaker 2: Dodgers' magic number is eleven. And for our show, he
Speaker 2: Otani is concerned hits home run number forty seven. Tonight
Speaker 2: stolen base number forty eight, so he's getting closer to
Speaker 2: fifty to fifty. Show haes forty eight stolen bases, by
Speaker 2: the way, the first Dodger to steal forty eight or
Speaker 2: more bases in a season since Dee Gordon in twenty fourteen,
Speaker 2: who had sixty four that season. Let's check out with Hose.
Speaker 1: It's time to go around the horn with Hose.
Speaker 2: Modas all right, Ose, the offense was great. You got
Speaker 2: ten runs on twelve hits. You had five home runs.
Speaker 2: That's awesome. This Dodger offense should be putting up those
Speaker 2: kind of numbers. Bobby Miller, though, it's starting to warn
Speaker 2: me a little bit, Hose, because we're running at a
Speaker 2: time and starts for Bobby Miller to get into this
Speaker 2: rotation in the postseason. Did it even be a part
Speaker 2: of this postseason roster?
Speaker 5: It is concerning.
Speaker 6: There's no way of hiding that when you consider that,
Speaker 6: you know, as you mentioned, through the first couple of
Speaker 6: bad or six pitches and he's got two outs and
Speaker 6: then comes the toughest part that really has uh you know,
Speaker 6: found him throughout this season. What happened with two outs
Speaker 6: isn't a mentality thing is a mechanically but he's not
Speaker 6: hunting its stride. And my biggest takeaway was first pitch
Speaker 6: of the game, he spiked it and I immediately looked
Speaker 6: at Niggas I said to me, that's not a good sign.
Speaker 6: That's the first pitch of the game. So I am
Speaker 6: hoping that everything is well with him physically.
Speaker 7: And we know that the you know, the.
Speaker 6: Left nio has been a little bulky, lending knee which
Speaker 6: affects everything related to the arm, flot and release point.
Speaker 6: But we are so very inconsistent, Bobby Miller. We know
Speaker 6: the stuff is there, velocity's not locking the breaking balls
Speaker 6: in sharp, but the change up the pitch is kind
Speaker 6: of getting away from him. And had a conversation with
Speaker 6: him back in Arizona about this. That's the word of
Speaker 6: to throw that changing because it's fading enough if people
Speaker 6: see the vertical break. It's great the horizontal break, I
Speaker 6: should say, but it's just not finding his zone and
Speaker 6: not getting the swing and miss, and that is a
Speaker 6: key pitch for him. I mean, it was last year
Speaker 6: hit under one fifty against that pitch. But I just,
Speaker 6: you know, don't see that consistency. There's nothing that anybody
Speaker 6: else is not seen. But there's no doubt that I
Speaker 6: hope that mentally also is not affecting him, because obviously
Speaker 6: there's something lacking in the biggest fear to me is
Speaker 6: lack of confidence, which is obviously that something that can
Speaker 6: go through and embrace you no matter what your stuff
Speaker 6: looks like.
Speaker 2: I'm looking at the calendar now here on September eleven,
Speaker 2: sixteen games to go. The Dodgers got to get ready
Speaker 2: for October baseball that first week of the month of October,
Speaker 2: and I look at the rotation because they got to
Speaker 2: start playing things out now and looking at who's healthy,
Speaker 2: who's not, and who's realistically going to be healthy come
Speaker 2: the postseason. Gavin Stone my opinion, I don't think there's
Speaker 2: enough time to get him back now and get into
Speaker 2: a spot to be a starter in October. I'm hoping
Speaker 2: Tyler Glass now can get to that point. The clock
Speaker 2: is ticking on Clayton Kershaw and his comeback, Jack Flaherty
Speaker 2: right now to me, and maybe another start from Yoshi
Speaker 2: yamamotive to see that he in fact is also back
Speaker 2: as well from his shoulder injury. You got two guys
Speaker 2: that you can count on come October, right now, that's it.
Speaker 6: Well, you know you're right, and then you know Dave
Speaker 6: Roberts has talked about a performers place. Well, Frock, really,
Speaker 6: all you've done is going out there and give you
Speaker 6: a chance to win. Right, Okay, the stuff doesn't light
Speaker 6: up the radar Gune and you know he doesn't light
Speaker 6: up the other you know, sebah Metro gasps around the legic,
Speaker 6: but the guy gets out. Yes, he does allow a
Speaker 6: lot of hard hit balls, there's no doubt. But the
Speaker 6: doubts have a good defense for that. So if you
Speaker 6: look at his his out ince time after time after time,
Speaker 6: Landon Neck, in my opinion, should be given more consideration
Speaker 6: and perhaps be a guy that is challenging a couple
Speaker 6: of guys to be part of the rotation because he
Speaker 6: hasn't heard his cops. He towst Rich, he doesn't really
Speaker 6: allow the beginning to happen, which is something that he
Speaker 6: actually talked to me about, and Connor McGinnis reconfirmed with
Speaker 6: me about something that been lacking with him in the
Speaker 6: model leagues is the beiginning. But in the big leagues
Speaker 6: he's come out here and fill his own. He's challenged hitters.
Speaker 6: There's been a couple of homes here and there, but
Speaker 6: look at every single outing. If it was you know,
Speaker 6: another name, whatever you want to call it, we've been
Speaker 6: paying more attention to him. This guy gives her a chance.
Speaker 6: He should be told right now, you know what, the
Speaker 6: way you're pitching, he's going to be a big part
Speaker 6: of this because I truly believe that basically when you
Speaker 6: see it now, he's gonna give you some innings too.
Speaker 2: Final thing, Jose Tommy Edmund. You look at what he's
Speaker 2: done the last two nights in the four home runs,
Speaker 2: the way he plays the game, his versatility to play
Speaker 2: different different positions, what he does does offensively from both
Speaker 2: sides of the plate. I can see now why Andrew
Speaker 2: Freeman has been trying to acquire him for the last
Speaker 2: two plus seasons and finally getting him and seeing what
Speaker 2: he can do to a team and help out a lineup.
Speaker 2: This guy really is awesome.
Speaker 6: Oh he's a good player. I mean he fits right
Speaker 6: into the Dodgers play they brought there and fill in
Speaker 6: different capacities to a hitter.
Speaker 7: He can run vary a stude.
Speaker 6: Ball player, he's run a gold glove. And when I
Speaker 6: saw him play for Team Korea actually in Japan the
Speaker 6: World Baseball Class and I'm like, this guy could really
Speaker 6: go out there and play the game smart. He knows
Speaker 6: when to run one, not to one to show, but
Speaker 6: I mean very instinctive plays the game, you know, like
Speaker 6: one of those guys I always say can play at
Speaker 6: any generation because he really has a good feel for
Speaker 6: the game. And I'm glad that he's getting results that
Speaker 6: he says within himself, the balls jumping out of his back.
Speaker 6: Please let's not expect this all the time, but let's
Speaker 6: welcome it no matter what, tim because he's playing some
Speaker 6: good baseball right now. With all the names, bigger names
Speaker 6: are out in the market that you know, perhaps we're
Speaker 6: sounding around to the dollar board. He is the one
Speaker 6: guy that kind of skaped through because he hadn't employed
Speaker 6: a big league game. Rehabbing and the doors one again
Speaker 6: due diligence a guy that fits well, but because you
Speaker 6: know that those guys are so valuable down the stretch,
Speaker 6: especially time playoff time.
Speaker 2: All right, you guys are heading to Atlanta. Charter leaves tomorrow,
Speaker 2: start of a seven game road trip that goes to
Speaker 2: Atlanta for four and three to Miami. What's to go
Speaker 2: to spot in Atlanta? A little southern food?
Speaker 6: Oh oh, you better believe it.
Speaker 7: That's my report.
Speaker 6: Fat match, p h A T match is the rip
Speaker 6: shot that I mean, it's pretty unbelievable, So take it out.
Speaker 6: And then Miami, of course. I mean we're in Cuba. Man,
Speaker 6: it's a little have man. Now, you know that in
Speaker 6: the Russian Beans pretty much every day.
Speaker 2: It's gonna be all nighters for Jose Mota out there.
Speaker 6: Oh no, no, I didn't say that.
Speaker 2: There's lots of sweet potato pie. Then Jose sa travels.
Speaker 2: We'll talk to you in a couple of days. Okay, Well,
Speaker 2: all right, there he goes Jose Mota as the Dodgers
Speaker 2: get the win tonight over the Cubs ten to eighty
Speaker 2: five home runs for the Dodgers, four of which came
Speaker 2: in the first inning, and setting a franchise record for
Speaker 2: four home runs in the first All right, let's go
Speaker 2: out to Kennon Newport Beach Ken Thanks for being patient.
Speaker 2: Hope you're having a great Wednesday night and celebrating this
Speaker 2: Dodger win.
Speaker 7: Oh I am now by the way that first said
Speaker 7: he was off the charts, and talking about off the charts,
Speaker 7: Friedman bringing in Edmond has got to be one of
Speaker 7: the greatest things I've seen in a long time. This
Speaker 7: guy is a phenomenal fielder and if he's heading like this,
Speaker 7: he really needs to move up in the lineup. And
Speaker 7: by the way, Freeman is sitting one thirty with nine
Speaker 7: strikeouts in the last seven games. That thumb has still.
Speaker 6: Got to be bothering him.
Speaker 7: But I don't understand what Dave is doing. This is
Speaker 7: a fourth time he's let a guy, a starter give
Speaker 7: up five, six, ten runs. You can't continue to do that.
Speaker 7: These games have importance to get the best record. There's
Speaker 7: no way Miller should ever pitch again. He's not right
Speaker 7: this year. Just to sit there and watch that, I
Speaker 7: don't know. Have you ever seen a manager at the
Speaker 7: end of the season the guy in that's given up
Speaker 7: five runs for six runs, five hits four walks. It's
Speaker 7: just mind bottling to me.
Speaker 2: The dagger was the three run home run. Kennon. I
Speaker 2: appreciate the phone call. I have no problem sitting it
Speaker 2: back out there in the fifth inning, especially with the
Speaker 2: Dodgers a seven to three lead. It got away from
Speaker 2: him in the fifth inning with the leadoff single and
Speaker 2: then a walk. Now he gets a fly ball to
Speaker 2: second for the first out of the inning, and then
Speaker 2: Bellinger just absolutely crushes the three run home run, and
Speaker 2: that's when Dave Roberts came out and got him. Now,
Speaker 2: maybe he shouldn't got to Cody Bellinger, but I'm okay.
Speaker 2: In a seven to three lead, one out, two to
Speaker 2: one and Bellinger at the plate, I want to see
Speaker 2: what Bobby Miller can do. I want to test him.
Speaker 2: I want him to get out of his own mess.
Speaker 2: You made the mess, figure it out, get out of it. Unfortunately,
Speaker 2: Cody Bellinger got the best of them, hits the three
Speaker 2: run home run. It makes it a one run game,
Speaker 2: and that's when he gets the old hook from Dave Roberts.
Speaker 2: I don't have a problem with that. They were fortunate
Speaker 2: that they got a lot of runs tonight to support
Speaker 2: Bobby Miller, and I think that, you know, gave him
Speaker 2: some room to go back out there in the fourth,
Speaker 2: in the fifth, after giving up a solo home run
Speaker 2: the third to make it a five to three game.
Speaker 2: So yeah, I think the fact that the Dodgers' offense
Speaker 2: backed him up and gave him some cushion allowed him
Speaker 2: to even go as long as he did all right,
Speaker 2: until I got the Dodger Stadium real quick, Let's hear
Speaker 2: from the manager, Dave Roberts.
Speaker 8: I saw a lot of fighting. It's been a while
Speaker 8: since i've you know, felt the uh, the energy, the
Speaker 8: buzz in that first inning that we felt there was
Speaker 8: a lot going on.
Speaker 5: Fans were just going crazy, it was.
Speaker 8: It was a lot of fun, a lot of energy
Speaker 8: in the dugout got off to a really good start,
Speaker 8: and to see us take a couple of punches, give
Speaker 8: up a big inning and almost give a the lead
Speaker 8: and the battle back. Will had a big hit, Miggy
Speaker 8: Rowe a grat at bad walk, Gavin with a big hit,
Speaker 8: and then obviously Tommy just is otherworldly these days and
Speaker 8: just had another huge night.
Speaker 4: You look and I guess just what Bobby bar was
Speaker 4: doing today. What were you seeing for him, and I know, head,
Speaker 4: I think, and you talked about wanting to see more
Speaker 4: consistency from him. How were you seeing I guess him
Speaker 4: you try to navigate through these episode aunts.
Speaker 8: I think he's grinding. I see it. He's competing as
Speaker 8: much as you can. I think today it was easy
Speaker 8: to see that he didn't have feel for the curveball,
Speaker 8: didn't strike it very often. You know, the fastball was
Speaker 8: getting a lot of you know, they were taking good
Speaker 8: swings after the fastball, as we talked about, and the change.
Speaker 5: Up at times was good.
Speaker 8: And so certainly the walks weren't helpful overall. You know,
Speaker 8: with our pitching staff, I think we had ten walks tonight,
Speaker 8: and you're not going to win many games when you
Speaker 8: walk ten guys.
Speaker 5: We found a way to do it tonight.
Speaker 8: But I thought, defensively, miggey Row is playing his tail off.
Speaker 5: And found a way to win a ball game.
Speaker 2: All right, there's Dave Roberts talking about the win tonight
Speaker 2: Bobby Miller, and Bobby Miller will, in fact, to get
Speaker 2: another start the next time his name comes around in
Speaker 2: the rotation. That's going to do it for Dodger to
Speaker 2: talk tonight. Many thanks to Colin Ye thanks to you
