WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:03.799
<v Speaker 1>And now your host of Dodger Talk, David Basse.

2
00:00:05.839 --> 00:00:09.599
<v Speaker 2>We are live at Dodgers Stadium after the Dodgers get

3
00:00:09.599 --> 00:00:12.839
<v Speaker 2>the win five to four over the Tigers in the

4
00:00:12.880 --> 00:00:18.079
<v Speaker 2>home opener on snell Zilla Day. That's right, Blake Snell

5
00:00:18.359 --> 00:00:22.399
<v Speaker 2>making his Dodger debut tonight at Dodgers Stadium in the

6
00:00:22.480 --> 00:00:26.960
<v Speaker 2>home opener as your world champion Dodgers returned to North

7
00:00:27.039 --> 00:00:31.559
<v Speaker 2>America to kick off the meat of their schedule. After

8
00:00:31.600 --> 00:00:35.280
<v Speaker 2>a tremendous time out there in Tokyo, the Dodgers were

9
00:00:35.280 --> 00:00:39.600
<v Speaker 2>back here at Dodgers Stadium and now are still undefeated,

10
00:00:39.719 --> 00:00:43.000
<v Speaker 2>three to zero to begin the year, sweeping the Cubs

11
00:00:43.039 --> 00:00:46.079
<v Speaker 2>in the Tokyo Series, and coming back here tonight at

12
00:00:46.079 --> 00:00:50.000
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers Stadium, first time playing a regular season game or

13
00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:53.840
<v Speaker 2>a meaningful game since the World Series last year when

14
00:00:53.880 --> 00:00:57.399
<v Speaker 2>they beat the Yankees in five games. So really start

15
00:00:57.439 --> 00:01:01.600
<v Speaker 2>to finish a great night here at Dodgers Stadium. If

16
00:01:01.640 --> 00:01:04.480
<v Speaker 2>you were at the game tonight, I would love to

17
00:01:04.560 --> 00:01:07.640
<v Speaker 2>hear your experience. I know the Dodgers put out a

18
00:01:07.719 --> 00:01:11.840
<v Speaker 2>lot of great new food around the concourses. I saw

19
00:01:12.200 --> 00:01:15.680
<v Speaker 2>you know, that Korean chicken with the rice bowl that

20
00:01:15.799 --> 00:01:19.120
<v Speaker 2>seemed to be a hot ticket. There was some sliders

21
00:01:19.159 --> 00:01:22.079
<v Speaker 2>going on. I know they got some good barbecue down

22
00:01:22.079 --> 00:01:25.400
<v Speaker 2>the left field line. Chef Christine did a great job.

23
00:01:25.439 --> 00:01:28.640
<v Speaker 2>I saw hungry in La, so yeah, food was on

24
00:01:28.760 --> 00:01:32.840
<v Speaker 2>my mind right there with baseball. But tonight was a

25
00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:35.680
<v Speaker 2>night of offense for the Dodgers, and I'm not sure

26
00:01:36.120 --> 00:01:40.359
<v Speaker 2>the Dodger offense gets enough credit for what they did

27
00:01:40.439 --> 00:01:44.760
<v Speaker 2>in October last year. The Dodgers were able to win

28
00:01:44.840 --> 00:01:48.120
<v Speaker 2>the World Series with two and a half starting pitchers

29
00:01:48.200 --> 00:01:52.000
<v Speaker 2>because of their offense. Their offense and many of their

30
00:01:52.040 --> 00:01:56.000
<v Speaker 2>wins gave them early leads and gave them big leads.

31
00:01:56.799 --> 00:02:00.400
<v Speaker 2>When they lost games, it was because a there's starting

32
00:02:00.439 --> 00:02:03.799
<v Speaker 2>pitching or their bullpen really didn't keep them in the game,

33
00:02:03.799 --> 00:02:08.159
<v Speaker 2>but their offense didn't score. You look back at even

34
00:02:08.319 --> 00:02:11.719
<v Speaker 2>Game five of the World Series last year, when the

35
00:02:11.759 --> 00:02:15.800
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers came back from being down five to nothing, it

36
00:02:15.960 --> 00:02:18.360
<v Speaker 2>was the offense with key hits, and a lot of

37
00:02:18.400 --> 00:02:22.319
<v Speaker 2>people forget the fact that Taoscar Hernandez came up with

38
00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:25.479
<v Speaker 2>maybe one of the biggest hits of the World Series

39
00:02:25.599 --> 00:02:29.840
<v Speaker 2>outside of Freddie Freeman's walkoff Grand Slam. He came through

40
00:02:29.960 --> 00:02:33.280
<v Speaker 2>to put the Dodgers ahead in that fifth inning, So

41
00:02:34.400 --> 00:02:38.599
<v Speaker 2>again tonight, ta Oscar Hernandez comes up with two outs

42
00:02:38.639 --> 00:02:42.800
<v Speaker 2>and runners in scoring position and hits the biggest home

43
00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:45.479
<v Speaker 2>run of the game tonight, a three run home run

44
00:02:45.800 --> 00:02:48.879
<v Speaker 2>off of Terrek school Bol in the fifth inning, which

45
00:02:48.960 --> 00:02:52.960
<v Speaker 2>allowed Blake Snell to get his first win as a Dodger,

46
00:02:53.319 --> 00:02:56.199
<v Speaker 2>and Snell Zilla's on the field out there at Dodgers

47
00:02:56.240 --> 00:02:59.800
<v Speaker 2>Stadium with his dad, some family and friends who came

48
00:02:59.800 --> 00:03:02.680
<v Speaker 2>to town to support their guy. It was nice to

49
00:03:02.719 --> 00:03:06.000
<v Speaker 2>see the support he got, and I'm curious it was

50
00:03:06.039 --> 00:03:11.759
<v Speaker 2>your first chance to see Blake Snell pitching a Dodger uniform. Obviously,

51
00:03:11.960 --> 00:03:15.000
<v Speaker 2>not his best night, there is a lot of room

52
00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:18.719
<v Speaker 2>for growth. He was not sharp with his curveball, his

53
00:03:18.800 --> 00:03:22.719
<v Speaker 2>slider wasn't sharp. His change up early on, he didn't

54
00:03:22.840 --> 00:03:26.879
<v Speaker 2>use it until the second time through, and even then he.

55
00:03:26.840 --> 00:03:27.919
<v Speaker 3>Didn't use it a lot.

56
00:03:28.039 --> 00:03:30.360
<v Speaker 2>I would love to see him use his change up

57
00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:34.919
<v Speaker 2>more than what he did tonight. But he wasn't sharp,

58
00:03:35.039 --> 00:03:37.000
<v Speaker 2>and he hung in there and only gave up two

59
00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:40.000
<v Speaker 2>urned runs even though he walked four guys. But it

60
00:03:40.120 --> 00:03:43.159
<v Speaker 2>was the offense. And I hate to break this to you.

61
00:03:43.280 --> 00:03:45.800
<v Speaker 2>I know you all love Mookie Betts and Otani and

62
00:03:45.840 --> 00:03:49.599
<v Speaker 2>Freddie Freeman, but I have to say my two favorite

63
00:03:49.639 --> 00:03:54.599
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers to watch play the game is Taoscar Hernandez and

64
00:03:55.439 --> 00:04:00.240
<v Speaker 2>Tommy Edmund. Tommy Edmund gave the Dodgers and early one

65
00:04:00.360 --> 00:04:04.199
<v Speaker 2>nothing lead as they were able to get to Trek's scooble.

66
00:04:04.719 --> 00:04:08.520
<v Speaker 2>So it was a good night for Tommy Edmond again,

67
00:04:08.960 --> 00:04:11.800
<v Speaker 2>who does so many things that really don't show up

68
00:04:11.800 --> 00:04:15.080
<v Speaker 2>in the box score, but tonight it showed up when

69
00:04:15.080 --> 00:04:17.600
<v Speaker 2>he gave the Dodgers an early one nothing lead. And

70
00:04:17.680 --> 00:04:21.399
<v Speaker 2>don't discount that that was huge. That was huge against

71
00:04:21.480 --> 00:04:24.319
<v Speaker 2>Trek scuoble to get an early one nothing lead. Eight

72
00:04:24.399 --> 00:04:28.279
<v Speaker 2>six six two five seventy is the phone number. After

73
00:04:28.319 --> 00:04:30.480
<v Speaker 2>the game, we had a chance to catch up with

74
00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:32.199
<v Speaker 2>the great ta Oscar Hernandez.

75
00:04:32.680 --> 00:04:37.160
<v Speaker 4>You know, obviously we'll be facing the Saijo. Yeah he was, Uh,

76
00:04:37.319 --> 00:04:40.040
<v Speaker 4>he makes some good pitches on my previous two abouts.

77
00:04:40.560 --> 00:04:41.199
<v Speaker 3>I was trying to.

78
00:04:41.160 --> 00:04:42.959
<v Speaker 4>Get one in the middle that I can do some damage.

79
00:04:43.000 --> 00:04:45.199
<v Speaker 4>I put a going on and I give the team

80
00:04:45.439 --> 00:04:45.959
<v Speaker 4>the league.

81
00:04:46.120 --> 00:04:49.240
<v Speaker 3>Hey, there's two long with two outs. How big was

82
00:04:49.279 --> 00:04:50.680
<v Speaker 3>it for Mooki to draw the walk?

83
00:04:50.720 --> 00:04:53.319
<v Speaker 2>And even before that, Pa has to turn the lineup over.

84
00:04:53.680 --> 00:04:56.480
<v Speaker 4>You know, Moki is gonna does the kind of advass

85
00:04:56.519 --> 00:04:58.879
<v Speaker 4>that MOOKI is always gonna have. He knows his rice own.

86
00:04:58.920 --> 00:05:01.560
<v Speaker 4>He's not gonna sume balls. He's gonna find ways to

87
00:05:01.600 --> 00:05:04.439
<v Speaker 4>get them bays. And we designed to be ready and

88
00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:08.120
<v Speaker 4>just do the things that I can do so I

89
00:05:08.120 --> 00:05:08.920
<v Speaker 4>can help the team.

90
00:05:09.160 --> 00:05:09.439
<v Speaker 5>Heyo.

91
00:05:09.480 --> 00:05:11.560
<v Speaker 2>How much did you and your teammates feed off of

92
00:05:11.600 --> 00:05:13.319
<v Speaker 2>the pregame ceremonies tonight?

93
00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:13.839
<v Speaker 6>Oh?

94
00:05:13.879 --> 00:05:18.639
<v Speaker 4>It was amazing, you know, La never disappointed me. It

95
00:05:18.680 --> 00:05:21.240
<v Speaker 4>was great. It was a lot of Firewalls did the

96
00:05:21.480 --> 00:05:23.639
<v Speaker 4>ceremony and everything. It was a lot of fun.

97
00:05:23.759 --> 00:05:25.519
<v Speaker 3>Can I wait to see you get your ring tomorrow?

98
00:05:25.639 --> 00:05:27.720
<v Speaker 3>There you go, I can wait. Love it.

99
00:05:27.759 --> 00:05:31.560
<v Speaker 2>Ta Oscar Hernandez, who La fell in love with, came

100
00:05:31.639 --> 00:05:35.279
<v Speaker 2>up again and provided the big swing, a three run

101
00:05:35.399 --> 00:05:37.639
<v Speaker 2>home run in the fifth inning with two ads to

102
00:05:37.680 --> 00:05:41.600
<v Speaker 2>give the Dodgers the lead again after the Tigers were

103
00:05:41.639 --> 00:05:43.480
<v Speaker 2>able to take it in the top half of the

104
00:05:43.519 --> 00:05:46.480
<v Speaker 2>fifth inning on a wild pitch by Blake Snell and

105
00:05:46.600 --> 00:05:49.759
<v Speaker 2>also a sacrifice fly. So a good night for the

106
00:05:49.800 --> 00:05:52.600
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers and really a bad night for the Tigers. They

107
00:05:52.600 --> 00:05:56.000
<v Speaker 2>had so many opportunities to really put the Dodgers in

108
00:05:56.040 --> 00:05:58.720
<v Speaker 2>a bad spot. But they were zero for fifteen with

109
00:05:58.879 --> 00:06:02.680
<v Speaker 2>runners in scoring position tonight. They left eleven men on base.

110
00:06:02.759 --> 00:06:05.839
<v Speaker 2>And that's the difference between the Dodgers and a team

111
00:06:05.959 --> 00:06:08.920
<v Speaker 2>like the Tigers. The Dodgers even last year, were so

112
00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:12.000
<v Speaker 2>good from the seventh inning on and so good with

113
00:06:12.120 --> 00:06:16.000
<v Speaker 2>two outs because they have a great players and they

114
00:06:16.040 --> 00:06:20.000
<v Speaker 2>put so much pressure on the opposing pitcher that you know,

115
00:06:21.079 --> 00:06:24.040
<v Speaker 2>there's nowhere to exhale. There's nowhere to exhale even with

116
00:06:24.120 --> 00:06:27.160
<v Speaker 2>two outs. Eight six six nine, eight seven two five

117
00:06:27.279 --> 00:06:30.279
<v Speaker 2>seventy is the phone number. Dodgers get the win five

118
00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:34.079
<v Speaker 2>to four over Detroit. Let's go out to Nick, who

119
00:06:34.120 --> 00:06:37.000
<v Speaker 2>is at Dodgers Stadium tonight. Hi, Nick, you're on Dodger Talk.

120
00:06:39.199 --> 00:06:42.439
<v Speaker 7>Hey David, welcome to the twenty twenty five season. Did

121
00:06:42.480 --> 00:06:44.399
<v Speaker 7>you have as much fun as we did out there today?

122
00:06:44.800 --> 00:06:45.879
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, it was great.

123
00:06:45.920 --> 00:06:48.600
<v Speaker 2>I got here at eleven o'clock, got here early, and

124
00:06:49.040 --> 00:06:53.360
<v Speaker 2>it felt like everybody enjoyed start to finish a great day.

125
00:06:55.480 --> 00:06:57.959
<v Speaker 7>I twined together with you more. I think the lines

126
00:06:58.759 --> 00:07:02.319
<v Speaker 7>in were very quick. Food lines are very quick. I

127
00:07:02.360 --> 00:07:04.560
<v Speaker 7>think the energy and the vibe was just at an

128
00:07:04.600 --> 00:07:07.639
<v Speaker 7>all time high. And then to go out there and

129
00:07:07.680 --> 00:07:10.800
<v Speaker 7>do what we did against school Ball. It really it

130
00:07:10.839 --> 00:07:14.519
<v Speaker 7>reminded us that these Dodgers didn't didn't stop when they

131
00:07:14.560 --> 00:07:16.839
<v Speaker 7>won the World Series. They seemingly picked up right where

132
00:07:16.839 --> 00:07:17.439
<v Speaker 7>they left off.

133
00:07:18.240 --> 00:07:18.480
<v Speaker 8>Yeah.

134
00:07:18.519 --> 00:07:21.639
<v Speaker 2>I don't feel like they're gonna slow down anytime soon either, Nick.

135
00:07:21.720 --> 00:07:23.800
<v Speaker 2>I mean, look at look at the Tigers. Look who

136
00:07:23.800 --> 00:07:27.759
<v Speaker 2>they have to face in these three games, Snell, Yamamoto

137
00:07:27.879 --> 00:07:30.839
<v Speaker 2>and Sazaki, and then the Braves come to town and

138
00:07:30.959 --> 00:07:33.360
<v Speaker 2>have to see glass now and Dustin May.

139
00:07:33.879 --> 00:07:36.279
<v Speaker 3>I mean, the Dodgers are are loaded right now.

140
00:07:36.639 --> 00:07:40.240
<v Speaker 2>This could be an early lead in the NL West

141
00:07:40.319 --> 00:07:44.319
<v Speaker 2>that no other team could come back from.

142
00:07:45.199 --> 00:07:48.920
<v Speaker 7>They considering the two and a half pictures like you

143
00:07:49.000 --> 00:07:51.120
<v Speaker 7>had mentioned that we had going to the World Series,

144
00:07:51.519 --> 00:07:54.319
<v Speaker 7>it's gonna be hard to realize that any driven night

145
00:07:54.720 --> 00:07:57.240
<v Speaker 7>you can be seeing a cy young contender on the

146
00:07:57.279 --> 00:08:00.240
<v Speaker 7>mound for the Dodgers this season. So here's the Hellen,

147
00:08:00.240 --> 00:08:02.240
<v Speaker 7>here's to a wonderful tast season.

148
00:08:02.639 --> 00:08:04.639
<v Speaker 3>All right, Nick, thank you for the phone call. Glad

149
00:08:04.680 --> 00:08:05.600
<v Speaker 3>you had a great day.

150
00:08:06.360 --> 00:08:10.079
<v Speaker 2>The home opener is always special and uh really something

151
00:08:10.160 --> 00:08:13.600
<v Speaker 2>that I always look forward to. Let's go out to Jennifer,

152
00:08:13.680 --> 00:08:16.399
<v Speaker 2>who was at Dodger Stadium tonight. Hi Jennifer, did you

<v Speaker 9>Uh?

00:08:22.920 --> 00:08:24.800
<v Speaker 10>Well, hey, I just wanted to say, you're coming to

157
00:08:24.879 --> 00:08:27.399
<v Speaker 10>us fly from a parking lot ten.

158
00:08:27.920 --> 00:08:31.199
<v Speaker 2>Oh oh, I see the break lights out there. Still

159
00:08:31.439 --> 00:08:33.600
<v Speaker 2>I got you trapped. You have to listen to me.

160
00:08:35.039 --> 00:08:37.480
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, No, So I just wanted to say, hide all

161
00:08:37.519 --> 00:08:39.399
<v Speaker 10>the parking lot ten folks listening.

162
00:08:39.759 --> 00:08:40.399
<v Speaker 7>No, I went out.

163
00:08:40.480 --> 00:08:43.679
<v Speaker 10>I tried Fresh Brother's pizza. It was actually really good

164
00:08:43.720 --> 00:08:46.759
<v Speaker 10>because it was the Dodger Stadium box that was that

165
00:08:46.840 --> 00:08:49.240
<v Speaker 10>took on me. So I had to try that, all right.

166
00:08:49.320 --> 00:08:50.399
<v Speaker 3>Good to know, Good to know.

167
00:08:50.519 --> 00:08:53.440
<v Speaker 2>So you're recommending, if you feel like pizza to go

168
00:08:53.559 --> 00:08:55.159
<v Speaker 2>for the Fresh Bros.

169
00:08:55.200 --> 00:08:56.039
<v Speaker 3>At Dodger Stadium.

170
00:08:56.039 --> 00:08:57.240
<v Speaker 10>Brothers Yes, Fresh Brothers.

171
00:08:57.320 --> 00:08:57.559
<v Speaker 9>Yes.

172
00:08:57.960 --> 00:09:02.159
<v Speaker 10>But I will say I my fellow sbdb's there's a

173
00:09:02.159 --> 00:09:05.159
<v Speaker 10>group of US Baseball girls from the South Bay that

174
00:09:05.279 --> 00:09:08.399
<v Speaker 10>listen and at ten games and so we have been

175
00:09:08.440 --> 00:09:11.759
<v Speaker 10>counting down to the season and it did not disappoint

176
00:09:11.799 --> 00:09:14.240
<v Speaker 10>Dave like I had to hold back to tears. I

177
00:09:14.440 --> 00:09:17.159
<v Speaker 10>was so moved when Kirk Gibson came I'm going to

178
00:09:17.240 --> 00:09:20.000
<v Speaker 10>get emotional now. I was so moved and I thought, Lord,

179
00:09:20.039 --> 00:09:22.159
<v Speaker 10>this is going to be in a fantastic season. And

180
00:09:22.200 --> 00:09:23.879
<v Speaker 10>so it was a great start to a season with

181
00:09:23.919 --> 00:09:24.519
<v Speaker 10>the win tonight.

182
00:09:25.240 --> 00:09:25.879
<v Speaker 3>I loved it.

183
00:09:26.200 --> 00:09:28.960
<v Speaker 2>The Dodgers have such a great tradition and what makes

184
00:09:29.000 --> 00:09:31.960
<v Speaker 2>it special are the guys that put the uniform on.

185
00:09:32.159 --> 00:09:36.320
<v Speaker 2>And you know, obviously Joe Davis's call last year was perfect.

186
00:09:37.080 --> 00:09:39.960
<v Speaker 2>Fred Gibbe meet Freddy and Joe is out there and

187
00:09:40.159 --> 00:09:42.720
<v Speaker 2>seeing the whole thing. And to have Kirk Gibson come

188
00:09:42.759 --> 00:09:45.159
<v Speaker 2>out and throw out the first pitch to Freddie Freeman

189
00:09:45.720 --> 00:09:49.240
<v Speaker 2>that that was awesome and I think everybody appreciated that,

190
00:09:49.320 --> 00:09:53.120
<v Speaker 2>including Freddie, who's a guy that appreciates the history of

191
00:09:53.159 --> 00:09:53.519
<v Speaker 2>the game.

192
00:09:54.879 --> 00:09:55.080
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

193
00:09:55.159 --> 00:09:57.600
<v Speaker 10>Hey, So our question is was it a surprise to

194
00:09:57.679 --> 00:09:59.480
<v Speaker 10>Freddy or did he know Kirk was there?

195
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:02.080
<v Speaker 3>Oh, he knew, he knew. It was not a surprise.

196
00:10:02.440 --> 00:10:06.080
<v Speaker 10>Get off, Oh all that's gonna be a dream to surprise.

197
00:10:06.120 --> 00:10:08.639
<v Speaker 10>And because he looked so generally like happy that we

198
00:10:08.679 --> 00:10:11.360
<v Speaker 10>thought maybe it was a surprise. But and I just

199
00:10:11.440 --> 00:10:14.120
<v Speaker 10>another note for everyone listening. I've been a huge Lake

200
00:10:14.159 --> 00:10:16.799
<v Speaker 10>Snow fan for several years. Even though he wasn't a Dodger,

201
00:10:16.879 --> 00:10:20.000
<v Speaker 10>so I was elated that he was opening the season

202
00:10:20.039 --> 00:10:22.320
<v Speaker 10>for us this year. So I'm very excited.

203
00:10:22.720 --> 00:10:24.799
<v Speaker 2>All right, Jennifer, thanks for the phone call. We're on

204
00:10:24.840 --> 00:10:26.799
<v Speaker 2>the same page in a lot of different ways. See

205
00:10:26.840 --> 00:10:28.480
<v Speaker 2>you at Patrick Malloy's one day.

206
00:10:29.279 --> 00:10:32.480
<v Speaker 5>Okay, sounds good day, good night, there.

207
00:10:32.360 --> 00:10:35.440
<v Speaker 2>She goes Jennifer in lat ten eight six six nine

208
00:10:35.519 --> 00:10:39.000
<v Speaker 2>eight seven two five seventy is the phone number. Speaking

209
00:10:39.039 --> 00:10:42.120
<v Speaker 2>of opening days, today was a really good opening day,

210
00:10:42.120 --> 00:10:44.559
<v Speaker 2>and I'll remember this one for a long time. But

211
00:10:45.320 --> 00:10:48.919
<v Speaker 2>since hosting Dodger Talk and traveling with the team, I

212
00:10:49.000 --> 00:10:52.399
<v Speaker 2>gotta say the opening day that stands out the most,

213
00:10:52.399 --> 00:10:56.200
<v Speaker 2>there's actually two. The one that's the runner up is

214
00:10:56.399 --> 00:11:01.600
<v Speaker 2>the second, probably twenty fifteen, twenty six, when Zach Grank

215
00:11:01.799 --> 00:11:05.080
<v Speaker 2>made his Diamondbacks debut on opening Day here at Dodgers

216
00:11:05.159 --> 00:11:07.759
<v Speaker 2>Stadium and the Dodgers hit eight home runs that day

217
00:11:08.200 --> 00:11:11.759
<v Speaker 2>to blow out Arizona. The one that stands out the

218
00:11:11.799 --> 00:11:15.600
<v Speaker 2>most and above all else, is the opening day of

219
00:11:15.639 --> 00:11:19.279
<v Speaker 2>twenty thirteen that to me is the single greatest opening

220
00:11:19.360 --> 00:11:24.360
<v Speaker 2>day performance by any Dodger I have witnessed, meaning I

221
00:11:24.480 --> 00:11:27.159
<v Speaker 2>was at the stadium, meaning you were at the Stadium.

222
00:11:27.440 --> 00:11:33.440
<v Speaker 2>Clayton Kershaw's performance on opening Day twenty thirteen Dodgers Giants

223
00:11:33.600 --> 00:11:37.559
<v Speaker 2>Kershaw versus Bumgardner. It was a scoreless tie until the

224
00:11:37.600 --> 00:11:41.720
<v Speaker 2>seventh or eighth inning, and Kerushaw finished the game complete

225
00:11:41.759 --> 00:11:45.879
<v Speaker 2>game shutout, with seven strikeouts, no walks. And here's the kicker.

226
00:11:46.240 --> 00:11:49.639
<v Speaker 2>Back in the old days when pitchers were hitters. When

227
00:11:49.639 --> 00:11:53.000
<v Speaker 2>their spot came up in the ninth inning, Clayton Kershaw

228
00:11:53.480 --> 00:11:56.399
<v Speaker 2>broke the tie with a solo home run over the

229
00:11:56.440 --> 00:12:00.000
<v Speaker 2>center field fence, and that was the go ahead run

230
00:12:00.360 --> 00:12:03.279
<v Speaker 2>and the difference in the game. So when I saw

231
00:12:03.360 --> 00:12:07.039
<v Speaker 2>Kershaw this morning, I asked him what he remembers about

232
00:12:07.080 --> 00:12:07.559
<v Speaker 2>that day.

233
00:12:08.200 --> 00:12:10.200
<v Speaker 11>I don't remember much, honestly. It's a long time ago,

234
00:12:10.399 --> 00:12:14.559
<v Speaker 11>but uh, I mean, it's just kind of just kind

235
00:12:14.559 --> 00:12:16.559
<v Speaker 11>of look up and the game's over and you'd hit

236
00:12:16.600 --> 00:12:18.000
<v Speaker 11>a homer, and it just kind of feels like a

237
00:12:18.000 --> 00:12:21.840
<v Speaker 11>little league game. So it just was was a lot

238
00:12:21.879 --> 00:12:23.519
<v Speaker 11>of fun. As if I remember, do.

239
00:12:23.480 --> 00:12:25.879
<v Speaker 2>You feel like that was mark this new era of

240
00:12:26.639 --> 00:12:27.679
<v Speaker 2>Dodger baseball.

241
00:12:28.080 --> 00:12:30.240
<v Speaker 11>I don't know, honestly. I mean, I think you know

242
00:12:30.440 --> 00:12:32.360
<v Speaker 11>that was the first year of the new ownership, full year,

243
00:12:32.399 --> 00:12:36.200
<v Speaker 11>and yeah, we made the playoffs that year, so yeah,

244
00:12:36.200 --> 00:12:38.480
<v Speaker 11>I mean they probably started its way for sure.

245
00:12:38.919 --> 00:12:39.399
<v Speaker 12>Yeah.

246
00:12:39.639 --> 00:12:42.879
<v Speaker 2>So you've been around baseball for a few generations and

247
00:12:43.240 --> 00:12:46.519
<v Speaker 2>here for a few generations. You saw what the clubhouse

248
00:12:46.759 --> 00:12:48.720
<v Speaker 2>originally look like, and now what you got.

249
00:12:48.799 --> 00:12:51.440
<v Speaker 3>Now, what do you think about this new version of it?

250
00:12:51.600 --> 00:12:51.840
<v Speaker 9>Yeah?

251
00:12:51.840 --> 00:12:53.480
<v Speaker 11>This is amazing. I mean, I yeah, this is round

252
00:12:53.519 --> 00:12:55.759
<v Speaker 11>three for me. So I thought Round two was amazing.

253
00:12:55.799 --> 00:12:59.720
<v Speaker 11>So this is just incredible. They thought of everything and

254
00:13:00.240 --> 00:13:03.960
<v Speaker 11>I'm lost in here, so's it's just a yeah, it's

255
00:13:04.080 --> 00:13:05.600
<v Speaker 11>it's state of the art. It's amazing.

256
00:13:06.080 --> 00:13:06.440
<v Speaker 3>All right.

257
00:13:06.480 --> 00:13:10.480
<v Speaker 2>There's Clayton Kershaw and obviously very humble about one of

258
00:13:10.559 --> 00:13:13.799
<v Speaker 2>the greatest performances by any pitcher on Opening Day in

259
00:13:13.840 --> 00:13:16.720
<v Speaker 2>Dodger history twenty thirteen. And I know you're gonna say, oh,

260
00:13:16.720 --> 00:13:20.759
<v Speaker 2>what about Orlando Hudson's cycle in two thousand and nine. Yes,

261
00:13:20.840 --> 00:13:25.720
<v Speaker 2>that was incredible, but Kershaw's was spectacular. I mean, what

262
00:13:25.879 --> 00:13:28.720
<v Speaker 2>pitcher does that. Blake Snell could have pitched a complete

263
00:13:28.759 --> 00:13:32.120
<v Speaker 2>game shutout tonight, but he wasn't hitting and didn't hit

264
00:13:32.120 --> 00:13:36.159
<v Speaker 2>a home run. Kershaw gave himself the lead and pitched

265
00:13:36.159 --> 00:13:39.679
<v Speaker 2>a complete game shutout in the slimmest of margins against

266
00:13:39.919 --> 00:13:43.360
<v Speaker 2>the defending world champions that year, the San Francisco Giants

267
00:13:43.399 --> 00:13:47.440
<v Speaker 2>above all else. To me, that's the single greatest Opening

268
00:13:47.519 --> 00:13:52.240
<v Speaker 2>Day I've witnessed. April first, twenty thirteen here at Dodger Stadium.

269
00:13:52.480 --> 00:13:55.480
<v Speaker 2>Eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy is

270
00:13:55.519 --> 00:13:59.320
<v Speaker 2>the phone number. Dodgers beat the Tigers tonight five to four.

271
00:13:59.639 --> 00:14:03.320
<v Speaker 2>Let's go out to Recina. Christopher, you're on Dodger Talk

<v Speaker 5>You know what, that was a little taste was yet

304
00:15:37.559 --> 00:15:43.279
<v Speaker 5>to come. So everybody, Dodgers, please be ready because this

305
00:15:43.360 --> 00:15:45.759
<v Speaker 5>is the beginning. Well I don't want to jax it,

306
00:15:45.840 --> 00:15:48.759
<v Speaker 5>but this is the beginning of something great that the

307
00:15:48.799 --> 00:15:49.559
<v Speaker 5>Dodgers will do.

308
00:15:50.200 --> 00:15:52.639
<v Speaker 2>All right, Sergio, thanks for the phone call. It's actually

309
00:15:52.679 --> 00:15:55.320
<v Speaker 2>the sequel. They did something great last year winning the

310
00:15:55.360 --> 00:15:59.000
<v Speaker 2>World Series, and they just have continued to roll. And look,

311
00:15:59.080 --> 00:16:02.879
<v Speaker 2>that's a testament to the Dodgers ownership. They weren't satisfied

312
00:16:02.960 --> 00:16:05.960
<v Speaker 2>with winning the World Series last year. They pushed the

313
00:16:06.080 --> 00:16:10.360
<v Speaker 2>chips even further in signing Blake Snell, signing Tanner Scott,

314
00:16:10.360 --> 00:16:13.039
<v Speaker 2>who he saw in the eighth inning tonight, re signing

315
00:16:13.120 --> 00:16:18.879
<v Speaker 2>Blake Trining, re signing taoscar Hernandez, giving Tommy Edmund an extension,

316
00:16:19.440 --> 00:16:22.399
<v Speaker 2>all of these things other owners wouldn't do. And I

317
00:16:22.440 --> 00:16:25.440
<v Speaker 2>think we all have to appreciate that just a mirror

318
00:16:25.440 --> 00:16:30.519
<v Speaker 2>what fifteen years ago, the Dodgers' ownership was not doing

319
00:16:30.639 --> 00:16:34.360
<v Speaker 2>what this current ownership is doing. It wasn't that long ago,

320
00:16:34.840 --> 00:16:37.919
<v Speaker 2>and sometimes you get a little spoiled, and you know,

321
00:16:38.080 --> 00:16:41.320
<v Speaker 2>for the narrative out there that the Dodgers are, you know,

322
00:16:41.559 --> 00:16:46.000
<v Speaker 2>the evil empire or whatever. I think other teams have

323
00:16:46.159 --> 00:16:50.120
<v Speaker 2>themselves to blame for this, because they had the Dodgers

324
00:16:50.200 --> 00:16:53.000
<v Speaker 2>right where they wanted them. When Corey Segers signed with

325
00:16:53.039 --> 00:16:57.799
<v Speaker 2>the Texas Rangers, the Dodgers really had a big hole.

326
00:16:57.720 --> 00:16:58.639
<v Speaker 3>In their lineup.

327
00:16:59.159 --> 00:17:04.599
<v Speaker 2>And the Braves, you know, ridiculous as it may seem now,

328
00:17:04.759 --> 00:17:09.319
<v Speaker 2>said no thank you to Freddie Freeman the same offseason.

329
00:17:10.440 --> 00:17:15.720
<v Speaker 3>Corey Seeger signed with the Rangers. I mean, think about that.

330
00:17:16.640 --> 00:17:19.720
<v Speaker 2>And you could thank the Boston Red Sox for trading

331
00:17:19.759 --> 00:17:23.079
<v Speaker 2>Mooki Betts to the Dodgers during the off season of

332
00:17:23.160 --> 00:17:26.359
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty leading into that season, and you can thank

333
00:17:26.400 --> 00:17:29.960
<v Speaker 2>the Saint Louis Cardinals and Chicago White Sox for trading

334
00:17:30.000 --> 00:17:31.559
<v Speaker 2>Michael Kopek and Todd.

335
00:17:31.400 --> 00:17:33.279
<v Speaker 3>Mey Edmund to the Dodgers last year.

336
00:17:34.240 --> 00:17:37.240
<v Speaker 2>You can also look around the diamond in so many

337
00:17:37.279 --> 00:17:40.119
<v Speaker 2>other ways and just say a lot of teams made

338
00:17:40.119 --> 00:17:45.079
<v Speaker 2>a lot of mistakes, and Andrew Freeman was very opportunistic,

339
00:17:45.559 --> 00:17:49.720
<v Speaker 2>I'll just put it that way, and they kept their players. Look,

340
00:17:49.880 --> 00:17:53.720
<v Speaker 2>Mookie Bets and Freddie Freeman aren't making above market value.

341
00:17:54.279 --> 00:17:56.920
<v Speaker 2>There's an argument to be made their under market value.

342
00:17:58.160 --> 00:18:01.319
<v Speaker 2>It's not like the Dodgers are throwing honey away at

343
00:18:01.319 --> 00:18:04.559
<v Speaker 2>players just for the sake of doing it. They've constructed

344
00:18:04.599 --> 00:18:09.079
<v Speaker 2>a really good team and obviously the big catch show,

345
00:18:09.119 --> 00:18:11.920
<v Speaker 2>Hey Otani, we have seen what the Dodgers have been

346
00:18:11.920 --> 00:18:17.000
<v Speaker 2>able to do with a global brand like Otani, something

347
00:18:17.079 --> 00:18:20.000
<v Speaker 2>that didn't happen in his six years in Anaheim.

348
00:18:20.200 --> 00:18:21.359
<v Speaker 3>So whose fault is that?

349
00:18:21.960 --> 00:18:24.640
<v Speaker 2>Eight six six nine, eight seven two five seventy is

350
00:18:24.640 --> 00:18:27.559
<v Speaker 2>the phone number that just shows you that the Dodgers

351
00:18:27.599 --> 00:18:29.599
<v Speaker 2>are not just one step ahead of the rest of

352
00:18:29.640 --> 00:18:32.279
<v Speaker 2>the league. They're three or four or five steps ahead.

353
00:18:32.279 --> 00:18:36.079
<v Speaker 2>Of everybody else and have been since twenty thirteen. Let's

354
00:18:36.119 --> 00:18:39.200
<v Speaker 2>go out to Sean, who's at Dodger Stadium. How you doing, Sean?

355
00:18:39.279 --> 00:18:40.200
<v Speaker 2>You're on Dodger Talk.

356
00:18:41.480 --> 00:18:42.079
<v Speaker 5>Hey DV.

357
00:18:42.279 --> 00:18:43.960
<v Speaker 12>What a day, What a day to be in La.

358
00:18:44.960 --> 00:18:46.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it was a great day. It was a great day.

359
00:18:47.000 --> 00:18:49.680
<v Speaker 3>They brought the history of nineteen eighty eight.

360
00:18:49.799 --> 00:18:52.160
<v Speaker 2>And also, you know, we got to start giving the

361
00:18:52.200 --> 00:18:54.920
<v Speaker 2>shine to these current Dodgers because they're making history in

362
00:18:54.920 --> 00:18:55.759
<v Speaker 2>front of our eyes.

363
00:18:57.319 --> 00:18:59.960
<v Speaker 12>Yeah, that was amazing. Freddie me Gibbey brought a teer

364
00:19:00.079 --> 00:19:03.480
<v Speaker 12>to the eye. Seeing Freddy out there with his family healthy,

365
00:19:03.640 --> 00:19:07.799
<v Speaker 12>was was priceless. Prob I a got out there with him.

366
00:19:08.079 --> 00:19:08.880
<v Speaker 3>Where were you sitting?

367
00:19:10.440 --> 00:19:13.079
<v Speaker 12>Section thirty five? Miss Laurie hooked it up with the

368
00:19:13.079 --> 00:19:13.799
<v Speaker 12>seats today.

369
00:19:14.200 --> 00:19:17.359
<v Speaker 2>Hey, thank you, miss Laurie. Did you go for a

370
00:19:17.440 --> 00:19:19.440
<v Speaker 2>Dodger dog or did you go off menu?

371
00:19:20.680 --> 00:19:26.000
<v Speaker 12>Nobody off menu? The new pastrami burger. Two thumbs up

372
00:19:26.240 --> 00:19:28.920
<v Speaker 12>and two thumbs up. Delicious.

373
00:19:29.440 --> 00:19:32.119
<v Speaker 2>All right, so you're saying I should try that before

374
00:19:32.160 --> 00:19:33.160
<v Speaker 2>the home stands over.

375
00:19:34.599 --> 00:19:37.799
<v Speaker 12>Definitely, head downstairs and gets one of those some garlic fries.

376
00:19:38.599 --> 00:19:41.599
<v Speaker 2>Oof and all right, all right, my skinny fat body,

377
00:19:41.640 --> 00:19:43.319
<v Speaker 2>I'm not sure if I can handle that, Sean, but

378
00:19:43.359 --> 00:19:43.960
<v Speaker 2>I'll go for.

379
00:19:43.960 --> 00:19:45.359
<v Speaker 6>It, all right.

380
00:19:45.400 --> 00:19:48.160
<v Speaker 12>Dvs you at Trader Joe's out in Westlake pretty soon,

381
00:19:48.160 --> 00:19:48.920
<v Speaker 12>all right, buddy.

382
00:19:48.920 --> 00:19:51.400
<v Speaker 3>Okay, thanks Sean, appreciated.

383
00:19:51.480 --> 00:19:54.599
<v Speaker 2>Eight sixty six nine eight seven two five seventy is

384
00:19:54.640 --> 00:19:56.680
<v Speaker 2>the phone number. I don't believe I've been to that

385
00:19:56.759 --> 00:20:00.359
<v Speaker 2>Trader Joe's. Actually, West Hills is my jam and the

386
00:20:00.400 --> 00:20:03.839
<v Speaker 2>one across from the Calabasas comments. I like that one too.

387
00:20:04.079 --> 00:20:07.400
<v Speaker 2>It's right near my F forty five place of you know,

388
00:20:07.799 --> 00:20:11.480
<v Speaker 2>when I do my F forty five thing. Of course,

389
00:20:11.880 --> 00:20:14.680
<v Speaker 2>Eight six six nine eighty seven two five seventy is.

390
00:20:14.599 --> 00:20:15.359
<v Speaker 3>The phone number.

391
00:20:15.720 --> 00:20:19.200
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers beat the Tigers five to four in the home opener.

392
00:20:19.440 --> 00:20:21.559
<v Speaker 2>We're gonna take a time out here on Dodger Talk.

393
00:20:21.599 --> 00:20:24.599
<v Speaker 2>When we come back, we'll check in with Jose Mota. Also,

394
00:20:24.960 --> 00:20:27.839
<v Speaker 2>you'll hear from manager Dave Roberts, who joined us in

395
00:20:27.920 --> 00:20:31.079
<v Speaker 2>his office before the game today. So you'll hear from

396
00:20:31.160 --> 00:20:34.000
<v Speaker 2>Dave and what his plan is to keep the edge

397
00:20:34.319 --> 00:20:36.880
<v Speaker 2>in twenty twenty five on this roster. And can you

398
00:20:36.920 --> 00:20:41.799
<v Speaker 2>believe Dave Roberts now in his tenth season managing the Dodgers.

399
00:20:41.880 --> 00:20:44.440
<v Speaker 3>Two World Series championships.

400
00:20:43.880 --> 00:20:47.079
<v Speaker 2>Under his belt, looking for a third in twenty twenty five.

<v Speaker 5>Win now whipping a little bit strong.

409
00:21:16.839 --> 00:21:18.319
<v Speaker 3>He should be out toward right field.

410
00:21:18.839 --> 00:21:20.799
<v Speaker 15>There's a jet stream there for show if he wants it.

411
00:21:20.839 --> 00:21:22.640
<v Speaker 5>On three to two, he swings it, goes.

412
00:21:22.480 --> 00:21:25.440
<v Speaker 1>The opposite field, left field, drifting back toward the wall.

413
00:21:25.680 --> 00:21:26.880
<v Speaker 3>He's gone.

414
00:21:28.720 --> 00:21:32.039
<v Speaker 5>Show. Hey Otani with a solo home run, his second

415
00:21:32.119 --> 00:21:35.400
<v Speaker 5>of the season, of course he did in his home opener.

416
00:21:36.960 --> 00:21:41.359
<v Speaker 2>Otani's thirtieth career home run at Dodgers Stadium, and hey,

417
00:21:41.839 --> 00:21:44.400
<v Speaker 2>that was a big home run because the Dodgers need

418
00:21:44.480 --> 00:21:47.279
<v Speaker 2>every one of their five to beat the Tigers tonight

419
00:21:47.720 --> 00:21:51.759
<v Speaker 2>five to four. After that two out solo home run

420
00:21:51.799 --> 00:21:54.759
<v Speaker 2>by Otani, the Tigers were able to get a run

421
00:21:54.799 --> 00:21:58.559
<v Speaker 2>in the eighth inning after former Dodgers Zach McKinstry hit

422
00:21:58.599 --> 00:22:01.839
<v Speaker 2>a triple and scored in that top of the eighth innings,

423
00:22:01.880 --> 00:22:05.680
<v Speaker 2>So they needed that home run by show Hey Otani.

424
00:22:05.759 --> 00:22:09.119
<v Speaker 2>They needed all three home runs that they got tonight

425
00:22:09.359 --> 00:22:12.880
<v Speaker 2>edmund O'tani and also of course the big one by

426
00:22:12.920 --> 00:22:16.559
<v Speaker 2>Teoscar Hernandez, a three run shot in the fifth inning.

434
00:22:41.759 --> 00:22:45.519
<v Speaker 2>phone number. And the Dodgers did this without keyk Hernandez,

435
00:22:45.519 --> 00:22:49.279
<v Speaker 2>who usually would be in the starting lineup against a lefty.

436
00:22:49.359 --> 00:22:52.279
<v Speaker 3>But Keik had somewhat of a.

437
00:22:52.319 --> 00:22:57.200
<v Speaker 2>Stomach illness similar to uh Mookie Betts. That's what Dave

438
00:22:57.279 --> 00:23:00.279
<v Speaker 2>Roberts said before the game. So we hope Keike can

439
00:23:00.319 --> 00:23:03.839
<v Speaker 2>feel good enough to be here tomorrow for that ring ceremony.

440
00:23:03.960 --> 00:23:07.160
<v Speaker 2>Since in twenty twenty one, when the Dodgers received their

441
00:23:07.200 --> 00:23:11.079
<v Speaker 2>championship rings. He was playing in Boston, so the Dodgers

442
00:23:11.480 --> 00:23:14.559
<v Speaker 2>had to move Tommy Edmund to center field. They had

443
00:23:14.599 --> 00:23:18.440
<v Speaker 2>Miguel Rojas play second, and Mookie Bett stayed at short.

444
00:23:18.519 --> 00:23:22.319
<v Speaker 2>Andy Pot has slided to left field. Another thing I

445
00:23:22.440 --> 00:23:24.720
<v Speaker 2>noticed about the game tonight that will be lost in

446
00:23:24.759 --> 00:23:28.839
<v Speaker 2>the Dodger win is the fact that the Tigers took

447
00:23:28.960 --> 00:23:32.839
<v Speaker 2>every opportunity to go first to third on balls hit

448
00:23:32.920 --> 00:23:35.480
<v Speaker 2>to ta Oscar Hernandez and right field. They did that

449
00:23:35.559 --> 00:23:38.680
<v Speaker 2>a couple of different times, and I'm wondering if that's

450
00:23:38.720 --> 00:23:41.720
<v Speaker 2>going to be a trend, if teams are feeling there's

451
00:23:41.759 --> 00:23:44.559
<v Speaker 2>in a weakness out there, and look, you can get

452
00:23:44.559 --> 00:23:47.119
<v Speaker 2>away with that from time to time, but that's gonna

453
00:23:47.119 --> 00:23:50.319
<v Speaker 2>be tough on a regular basis to overcome that. The

454
00:23:50.400 --> 00:23:53.480
<v Speaker 2>Tigers were zero for fifteen with runners in scoring position,

455
00:23:53.799 --> 00:23:58.000
<v Speaker 2>and they were very grace aggressive on the bases going

456
00:23:58.119 --> 00:24:00.440
<v Speaker 2>first to third with balls hit to right now field.

457
00:24:00.559 --> 00:24:03.079
<v Speaker 2>So that's something to keep an eye on as we

458
00:24:03.119 --> 00:24:07.519
<v Speaker 2>move forward in the regular season. Eight six six two

459
00:24:07.599 --> 00:24:10.759
<v Speaker 2>five seventy is the phone number. Let's go out to Hank.

460
00:24:11.079 --> 00:24:13.559
<v Speaker 2>Who is that Dodger Stadium tonight? Hi, Hank, You're on

461
00:24:13.640 --> 00:24:14.279
<v Speaker 2>Dodger Talk.

462
00:24:15.799 --> 00:24:18.000
<v Speaker 5>Hey, hey Dave, Hey, how's it going? Man?

463
00:24:18.039 --> 00:24:20.480
<v Speaker 9>Hey, what a great night. And just to kind of

464
00:24:20.680 --> 00:24:24.640
<v Speaker 9>just started off. I typically go to Phleeps and you know,

465
00:24:24.720 --> 00:24:28.119
<v Speaker 9>get that double dip there and a nice cold beer.

466
00:24:28.200 --> 00:24:31.920
<v Speaker 9>But uh, tonight's game was just awesome, man. The vibe

467
00:24:32.039 --> 00:24:35.880
<v Speaker 9>was amazing, and you know, I I just got to

468
00:24:35.920 --> 00:24:39.799
<v Speaker 9>echo what you're saying about the Tigers and them running

469
00:24:39.839 --> 00:24:42.559
<v Speaker 9>the bases, and you know, I just think it's great

470
00:24:42.599 --> 00:24:44.440
<v Speaker 9>that you know, they're they're taking advantage of what they

471
00:24:44.480 --> 00:24:46.680
<v Speaker 9>can what they can get. But it was. It was

472
00:24:46.680 --> 00:24:49.599
<v Speaker 9>a great night, man, and uh, good win for us.

473
00:24:49.640 --> 00:24:52.480
<v Speaker 9>And you know Snell did he did well. Man. It's

474
00:24:52.559 --> 00:24:54.640
<v Speaker 9>a lot of tough things that's come in, you know,

475
00:24:54.720 --> 00:24:56.160
<v Speaker 9>pitching for the Dodgers.

476
00:24:56.640 --> 00:24:57.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, no doubt.

477
00:24:57.480 --> 00:25:00.440
<v Speaker 2>And he wasn't even his best version of himself tonight,

478
00:25:00.480 --> 00:25:02.519
<v Speaker 2>and he still hung in there and gave the Dodger

479
00:25:02.559 --> 00:25:05.440
<v Speaker 2>offense a chance to win. Eight six six nine eight

480
00:25:05.519 --> 00:25:09.119
<v Speaker 2>seven two five seventy. Let's go out to Ventura, Daniel.

481
00:25:09.319 --> 00:25:13.160
<v Speaker 2>You're on Dodger Talk. Hi, Daniel up, David, thank you

482
00:25:13.200 --> 00:25:14.279
<v Speaker 2>for taking my call.

483
00:25:14.759 --> 00:25:17.799
<v Speaker 3>My pleasure. Where'd you watch the game?

484
00:25:17.960 --> 00:25:18.240
<v Speaker 16>Nice?

485
00:25:19.680 --> 00:25:21.519
<v Speaker 12>No, I actually watched it here at my house.

486
00:25:22.440 --> 00:25:24.799
<v Speaker 3>Very good, very good. It was an exciting game. Did

487
00:25:24.799 --> 00:25:27.079
<v Speaker 3>you enjoy it, dude?

488
00:25:27.200 --> 00:25:27.920
<v Speaker 6>Awesome game.

489
00:25:27.960 --> 00:25:29.039
<v Speaker 5>What a special day.

490
00:25:29.240 --> 00:25:32.680
<v Speaker 12>New Seal Zilla looks good and there's many more to

491
00:25:32.720 --> 00:25:33.880
<v Speaker 12>come from him.

492
00:25:34.480 --> 00:25:36.799
<v Speaker 2>Love it, Daniel. If he doesn't pitch well, are you

493
00:25:36.799 --> 00:25:38.680
<v Speaker 2>gonna call and complain to me too? Are you gonna

494
00:25:38.680 --> 00:25:40.720
<v Speaker 2>blame me for whenever he doesn't pitch well?

495
00:25:42.039 --> 00:25:44.599
<v Speaker 5>No, not at all, man, All right, call.

496
00:25:44.440 --> 00:25:45.279
<v Speaker 3>Back anytime then.

497
00:25:45.599 --> 00:25:48.400
<v Speaker 2>Eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy is

498
00:25:48.400 --> 00:25:50.640
<v Speaker 2>the phone number. We're gonna check in with Jose Mota

499
00:25:50.720 --> 00:25:54.079
<v Speaker 2>in a moment. But first let's head out to Stuart,

500
00:25:54.279 --> 00:25:57.440
<v Speaker 2>who is leaving Dodger Stadium. It looks like the traffic

501
00:25:57.559 --> 00:25:59.559
<v Speaker 2>is cleared out, Stuart. You should be on your way.

502
00:26:00.839 --> 00:26:03.079
<v Speaker 14>Yeah, it's just making a little progress here, if assay.

503
00:26:03.799 --> 00:26:06.160
<v Speaker 14>First of all, you're one hundred percent correct on the

504
00:26:06.519 --> 00:26:11.000
<v Speaker 14>Kershaw Alfit dot call for twenty thirteen. Pretty incredible to

505
00:26:11.039 --> 00:26:15.519
<v Speaker 14>shut out the minis like that and drop a bos. Secondly,

506
00:26:15.680 --> 00:26:19.319
<v Speaker 14>Otani's home run to Night obviously incredible, But wanted to

507
00:26:19.359 --> 00:26:23.240
<v Speaker 14>get your thoughts on both the Uncle Tao and Tommy

508
00:26:23.319 --> 00:26:25.680
<v Speaker 14>Tank's bomb and just what they've meant to the team

509
00:26:25.720 --> 00:26:27.599
<v Speaker 14>recently and what you think they'll meet to the team

510
00:26:27.640 --> 00:26:28.319
<v Speaker 14>going forward.

511
00:26:28.920 --> 00:26:31.720
<v Speaker 2>Look, there was a reason why I was so vocal

512
00:26:31.799 --> 00:26:36.119
<v Speaker 2>during the offseason and basically everybody else in LA about

513
00:26:36.480 --> 00:26:39.599
<v Speaker 2>getting Tayo back here. He meant a lot to protect

514
00:26:39.640 --> 00:26:42.480
<v Speaker 2>those first three guys, and we saw it again. I mean,

515
00:26:42.960 --> 00:26:46.480
<v Speaker 2>this guy has thrived hitting in Dodger Stadium and in

516
00:26:46.519 --> 00:26:50.440
<v Speaker 2>this lineup, he's the perfect example of a player that

517
00:26:50.640 --> 00:26:53.519
<v Speaker 2>is better with his team than they are apart. If

518
00:26:53.559 --> 00:26:56.720
<v Speaker 2>ta Oscar Hernandez would have gone to the Reds in

519
00:26:56.799 --> 00:26:59.599
<v Speaker 2>that ballpark, sure he probably would have hit close to

520
00:26:59.640 --> 00:27:02.960
<v Speaker 2>thirty home runs, but where's it going for him? He

521
00:27:03.039 --> 00:27:05.799
<v Speaker 2>loved being part of the team, he loved winning, and

522
00:27:05.839 --> 00:27:09.480
<v Speaker 2>it's Taoscar Hernandez and the Dodgers are better together than

523
00:27:09.480 --> 00:27:12.480
<v Speaker 2>they are apart. Because if they don't have Taoscar Hernandez

524
00:27:12.839 --> 00:27:15.720
<v Speaker 2>and they're moving Mookie Bets to the infield, who's playing

525
00:27:15.759 --> 00:27:16.799
<v Speaker 2>the outfield Stewart?

526
00:27:18.880 --> 00:27:21.200
<v Speaker 14>I mean, maybe Mookie, but they got him at short

527
00:27:21.400 --> 00:27:23.720
<v Speaker 14>so I know, I.

528
00:27:23.640 --> 00:27:25.839
<v Speaker 3>Know, we'll see, we'll see how long this lasts.

529
00:27:25.839 --> 00:27:28.440
<v Speaker 2>But MOOKI is very intent on making it work and

530
00:27:28.440 --> 00:27:32.640
<v Speaker 2>he's put in a lot of time, so.

531
00:27:30.480 --> 00:27:32.160
<v Speaker 3>Uh so far so good.

532
00:27:32.240 --> 00:27:34.920
<v Speaker 2>I guess uh, he didn't really get too much action tonight,

533
00:27:35.000 --> 00:27:37.960
<v Speaker 2>but he's determined to make it work. Thanks for the

534
00:27:38.000 --> 00:27:40.640
<v Speaker 2>phone call, Stewart, appreciate it. Eight six six nine eight

535
00:27:40.759 --> 00:27:44.079
<v Speaker 2>seven two five seventy is the phone number. Dodgers beat

536
00:27:44.119 --> 00:27:47.200
<v Speaker 2>the Tigers five to four. You'll hear from manager Dave

537
00:27:47.319 --> 00:27:49.519
<v Speaker 2>Roberts in just a moment, but first.

538
00:27:50.160 --> 00:27:54.000
<v Speaker 1>It's time to go around the horn with Hoseng Moda.

539
00:27:54.759 --> 00:27:59.440
<v Speaker 2>The best dress broadcast booth at Dodgers Stadium tonight, hands down,

540
00:27:59.599 --> 00:28:03.880
<v Speaker 2>was the Rodgers Spanish radio booth with Pepe Ninguez, Luis

541
00:28:03.960 --> 00:28:05.480
<v Speaker 2>Cochito Cruz.

542
00:28:05.240 --> 00:28:07.039
<v Speaker 3>And our guy Jose Mota.

543
00:28:07.640 --> 00:28:09.759
<v Speaker 2>I mean, you guys must have sent out a group

544
00:28:09.839 --> 00:28:13.279
<v Speaker 2>text and said we are going to shame everybody else

545
00:28:13.319 --> 00:28:15.519
<v Speaker 2>with what we're going to wear in the home opener.

546
00:28:15.640 --> 00:28:20.680
<v Speaker 6>Jose shame, no way, no never date, come on now

547
00:28:21.640 --> 00:28:24.440
<v Speaker 6>for shame. But thank you, thank you for the compliment. Well,

548
00:28:24.519 --> 00:28:26.559
<v Speaker 6>you know what, it's tradition. Nobody has to send anybody

549
00:28:26.559 --> 00:28:28.920
<v Speaker 6>a reminder about anything. The only person needed to know

550
00:28:28.960 --> 00:28:31.400
<v Speaker 6>about it was Gootito because he's never had an opening

551
00:28:31.440 --> 00:28:33.039
<v Speaker 6>days for the broadcaster before.

552
00:28:33.160 --> 00:28:36.759
<v Speaker 2>Man Thatchito suit today was like from twenty fourteen when

553
00:28:36.799 --> 00:28:39.400
<v Speaker 2>he was playing it with the show Dodgers.

554
00:28:39.400 --> 00:28:42.680
<v Speaker 3>As Jerry Harriston Junior would like to say, I'd like.

555
00:28:42.640 --> 00:28:45.039
<v Speaker 6>To keep track of that, but it was fun to

556
00:28:45.079 --> 00:28:47.440
<v Speaker 6>see your boy Snowszilla go out there and go to work.

557
00:28:47.640 --> 00:28:51.960
<v Speaker 6>Here's what really catches my attention today on Blake Snell,

558
00:28:52.039 --> 00:28:54.559
<v Speaker 6>and pay attention to this when it comes down to

559
00:28:54.599 --> 00:28:57.039
<v Speaker 6>a number one starter. Okay, this guy's a number one starter.

560
00:28:58.119 --> 00:29:02.079
<v Speaker 6>He allowed himself to get the today, I'm gonna gonna

561
00:29:02.160 --> 00:29:04.559
<v Speaker 6>I'm not gonna talk about stuff. Okay, his stuff is

562
00:29:04.599 --> 00:29:07.440
<v Speaker 6>good enough to beat people, to neutralize the Tigers winning

563
00:29:07.440 --> 00:29:11.599
<v Speaker 6>score on position. But also it's like he's playing catch,

564
00:29:11.599 --> 00:29:14.079
<v Speaker 6>which it's like he has this great rhythm with Will Smith.

565
00:29:14.160 --> 00:29:16.440
<v Speaker 6>He can bounce and break the ball long got away

566
00:29:16.480 --> 00:29:19.400
<v Speaker 6>obviously because he depends on spiking it and having their

567
00:29:19.440 --> 00:29:22.359
<v Speaker 6>catches do a good job. But Dave, who was never rattled,

568
00:29:22.480 --> 00:29:25.559
<v Speaker 6>He was never rattled. He was never looking in that bullpen.

569
00:29:26.079 --> 00:29:29.599
<v Speaker 6>He just focused on the task in mixing pitches and

570
00:29:29.640 --> 00:29:31.160
<v Speaker 6>then with a breaking ball, he's able to get the

571
00:29:31.200 --> 00:29:34.440
<v Speaker 6>fastball in good spots. But man, I admire guys that

572
00:29:34.839 --> 00:29:38.160
<v Speaker 6>perhaps are not at their best finding a way to

573
00:29:38.240 --> 00:29:41.119
<v Speaker 6>get through five and allowing Elec to Oskar hurt and

574
00:29:41.160 --> 00:29:42.680
<v Speaker 6>just to go out there and get the big home run.

575
00:29:42.799 --> 00:29:45.559
<v Speaker 6>All about show hey to get the w because yes,

576
00:29:45.839 --> 00:29:48.720
<v Speaker 6>wins do matters to these guys on the man, believe.

577
00:29:48.519 --> 00:29:49.920
<v Speaker 3>Me, no doubt.

578
00:29:49.960 --> 00:29:53.079
<v Speaker 2>And this was not his best version of himself. For

579
00:29:53.400 --> 00:29:57.559
<v Speaker 2>Walks and the Tigers really helped the Dodgers out today,

580
00:29:57.599 --> 00:30:00.839
<v Speaker 2>right Jose Oh for fifteen with runners in scoring position,

581
00:30:01.160 --> 00:30:02.599
<v Speaker 2>that was the difference in the game.

582
00:30:03.680 --> 00:30:06.319
<v Speaker 6>That's when he pitched two scouter reports and you gets

583
00:30:06.359 --> 00:30:09.920
<v Speaker 6>into tendencies and into a young team that did so

584
00:30:10.079 --> 00:30:12.799
<v Speaker 6>well last season, and you expand his own and you

585
00:30:12.839 --> 00:30:14.559
<v Speaker 6>make pitches. That's all the matter. I mean, if you

586
00:30:14.559 --> 00:30:16.400
<v Speaker 6>look at the line for Snell and you go watch

587
00:30:16.599 --> 00:30:20.119
<v Speaker 6>you know, four watch five innings, a couple of runs,

588
00:30:20.160 --> 00:30:22.960
<v Speaker 6>but overall is when he needed to make a pitch,

589
00:30:23.000 --> 00:30:26.279
<v Speaker 6>he did. And then obviously he got confidence when he

590
00:30:26.319 --> 00:30:28.039
<v Speaker 6>got the bigger outs. And that's what happens too, you

591
00:30:28.039 --> 00:30:29.359
<v Speaker 6>get the bigger house. And also I was like, I

592
00:30:29.359 --> 00:30:32.079
<v Speaker 6>don't care my stuff is tonight. I know that when

593
00:30:32.079 --> 00:30:34.359
<v Speaker 6>it comes down to making him out, I can get

594
00:30:34.359 --> 00:30:36.599
<v Speaker 6>it out somehow. And he showed the world why he

595
00:30:36.799 --> 00:30:37.880
<v Speaker 6>is so good.

596
00:30:38.160 --> 00:30:41.319
<v Speaker 2>Jose Mota is joining us on Dodger Talk after the

597
00:30:41.359 --> 00:30:44.880
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers defeat the Tigers five to four in the home opener.

598
00:30:45.359 --> 00:30:48.160
<v Speaker 2>What do you make of the night for Teoscar Hernandez

599
00:30:48.240 --> 00:30:52.000
<v Speaker 2>obviously the biggest hit of the game, which erases everything

600
00:30:52.079 --> 00:30:55.400
<v Speaker 2>for everybody, But what do you make of the Tigers

601
00:30:55.440 --> 00:30:58.200
<v Speaker 2>being as aggressive as they were going first to third

602
00:30:58.240 --> 00:30:59.880
<v Speaker 2>on him multiple times tonight?

603
00:31:00.839 --> 00:31:03.319
<v Speaker 6>I was listening to you say this, and here's what

604
00:31:03.680 --> 00:31:06.599
<v Speaker 6>needs to happen. Obviously, as part of their scouting, they

605
00:31:06.640 --> 00:31:09.200
<v Speaker 6>know where Toroscar stands in terms of being an outfield

606
00:31:09.200 --> 00:31:12.319
<v Speaker 6>that you can run on, and for Tiasco, the way

607
00:31:12.359 --> 00:31:16.759
<v Speaker 6>you stop this is by being aggressive charging baseball's on singles,

608
00:31:17.200 --> 00:31:19.720
<v Speaker 6>because that is the first signal to a coach and say,

609
00:31:19.759 --> 00:31:21.720
<v Speaker 6>oh wait a minute, he's charging and has nothing to

610
00:31:21.720 --> 00:31:23.960
<v Speaker 6>do with a strong your arm is and I saw

611
00:31:24.039 --> 00:31:26.079
<v Speaker 6>for eight nine years with my trout, I try has

612
00:31:26.160 --> 00:31:28.400
<v Speaker 6>never had the strongest arm. There was a time in

613
00:31:28.440 --> 00:31:30.400
<v Speaker 6>which guys are going to ride in his face. First

614
00:31:30.440 --> 00:31:33.119
<v Speaker 6>the third and center field and the minute Dino Evil

615
00:31:33.119 --> 00:31:35.160
<v Speaker 6>and Ron Rennicky, by the way, are the ones to

616
00:31:35.160 --> 00:31:38.240
<v Speaker 6>say if you need to start charging hard just to

617
00:31:39.759 --> 00:31:42.039
<v Speaker 6>fill that coach and that runner A he's charging hard

618
00:31:42.519 --> 00:31:44.200
<v Speaker 6>and that stops the run. So it's one of those

619
00:31:44.200 --> 00:31:46.799
<v Speaker 6>things where he plays more Olfield and Ryfield. I should

620
00:31:46.799 --> 00:31:49.119
<v Speaker 6>say he's gonna get used to because you know the

621
00:31:49.160 --> 00:31:52.000
<v Speaker 6>war gets around that. If he's playing deep, you can

622
00:31:52.039 --> 00:31:53.640
<v Speaker 6>go on him. But I think it's going to come

623
00:31:53.640 --> 00:31:56.480
<v Speaker 6>down to a hardy charges to make sure that that stops,

624
00:31:56.519 --> 00:31:58.640
<v Speaker 6>because you know he does have a pretty accurate arm.

625
00:32:00.119 --> 00:32:01.599
<v Speaker 3>It's joining us on Dodger talk.

626
00:32:01.680 --> 00:32:04.599
<v Speaker 2>The Dodgers improved their record at three and oh after

627
00:32:04.680 --> 00:32:08.039
<v Speaker 2>sweeping that Tokyo series and come back home and get

628
00:32:08.039 --> 00:32:11.519
<v Speaker 2>things started. When you look at what the Dodgers were

629
00:32:11.559 --> 00:32:14.920
<v Speaker 2>able to do this offseason, Jose, I know we talk

630
00:32:14.960 --> 00:32:18.160
<v Speaker 2>about Taoscar and Edmund and all those guys, but what

631
00:32:18.200 --> 00:32:20.119
<v Speaker 2>do you make of this bullpen in the way Dave

632
00:32:20.200 --> 00:32:23.279
<v Speaker 2>Roberts is deploying them so far in the first three

633
00:32:23.319 --> 00:32:24.759
<v Speaker 2>games of the of the season.

634
00:32:25.599 --> 00:32:27.119
<v Speaker 6>You know, in a way it was it was good

635
00:32:27.160 --> 00:32:29.960
<v Speaker 6>to see Blake trying to get the last out. He

636
00:32:30.039 --> 00:32:32.559
<v Speaker 6>has earned every single opportunity to be the guy out there,

637
00:32:32.559 --> 00:32:34.319
<v Speaker 6>and I know it was all based on matchups was

638
00:32:34.359 --> 00:32:36.440
<v Speaker 6>coming up in that a sending against Towner Scott and

639
00:32:36.519 --> 00:32:38.400
<v Speaker 6>the left he's kind of got you know, that made

640
00:32:38.440 --> 00:32:41.079
<v Speaker 6>some good contact against him. But you have so many

641
00:32:41.079 --> 00:32:44.240
<v Speaker 6>options and it's just a luxury to have. You have

642
00:32:44.359 --> 00:32:46.319
<v Speaker 6>guys have closed. You have guys that don't have the

643
00:32:46.400 --> 00:32:48.160
<v Speaker 6>ego to go. I must pitching this any or that

644
00:32:48.240 --> 00:32:50.160
<v Speaker 6>any you're inning to close the inning that you're pitching,

645
00:32:50.200 --> 00:32:52.519
<v Speaker 6>and that's the bottom line. But Dave, there's no doubt

646
00:32:52.599 --> 00:32:54.200
<v Speaker 6>that one thing that you have to keep in mind

647
00:32:54.319 --> 00:32:57.599
<v Speaker 6>is and I'm gonna pick each other up and I

648
00:32:57.720 --> 00:32:59.839
<v Speaker 6>was location is gonna miss and guy's going to be,

649
00:33:00.000 --> 00:33:03.400
<v Speaker 6>you know, struck it again and ambishing you want it.

650
00:33:03.680 --> 00:33:06.599
<v Speaker 6>These guys have enough in arsenhol to mix up and

651
00:33:06.640 --> 00:33:09.960
<v Speaker 6>adjust on the fly when teams make adjustments and uh

652
00:33:10.039 --> 00:33:12.599
<v Speaker 6>power arms. If you need contact, they got contact. But

653
00:33:12.920 --> 00:33:14.680
<v Speaker 6>more than that, they have a lot of swinging miss

654
00:33:14.799 --> 00:33:16.839
<v Speaker 6>a lot of keys and at the end of the games,

655
00:33:17.079 --> 00:33:18.799
<v Speaker 6>that's what you want, all.

656
00:33:18.759 --> 00:33:21.279
<v Speaker 2>Right, Jose, thanks a lot for checking in. Look forward

657
00:33:21.319 --> 00:33:24.359
<v Speaker 2>to seeing you tomorrow as the Dodgers will be receiving

<v Speaker 3>That's always special.

695
00:34:57.840 --> 00:34:59.320
<v Speaker 17>big fan of your as I seen you in a

696
00:34:59.400 --> 00:35:02.000
<v Speaker 17>few US training games over there and camel Back.

697
00:35:02.559 --> 00:35:03.559
<v Speaker 13>But I wanted to.

698
00:35:03.519 --> 00:35:08.440
<v Speaker 17>Follow up with Jennifer how she was talking about the

699
00:35:08.639 --> 00:35:12.800
<v Speaker 17>emotional emotions she got today at Dodger Stadium for the

700
00:35:12.840 --> 00:35:15.440
<v Speaker 17>opening day, and I got to reflect on that. I

701
00:35:15.480 --> 00:35:18.280
<v Speaker 17>got to say that she's on point and letting you

702
00:35:18.360 --> 00:35:20.679
<v Speaker 17>know that is one of the best opening days in

703
00:35:20.840 --> 00:35:25.880
<v Speaker 17>history for the Dodgery history, and it was super exciting

704
00:35:25.960 --> 00:35:30.119
<v Speaker 17>with the flyover and then the Gibbie. It's honestly, emotion

705
00:35:30.320 --> 00:35:33.440
<v Speaker 17>came through my wife and I and I think is

706
00:35:33.880 --> 00:35:38.840
<v Speaker 17>one of the best best opening ceremonies ever. What do

707
00:35:38.880 --> 00:35:39.599
<v Speaker 17>you think about that?

708
00:35:40.199 --> 00:35:42.000
<v Speaker 2>Well, I was going to ask you what got to

709
00:35:42.039 --> 00:35:45.400
<v Speaker 2>you more the flyover Kirk Gibson thrown out the first

710
00:35:45.440 --> 00:35:50.119
<v Speaker 2>pitch to Freddie Freeman or Ice Cube, surprising everybody and

711
00:35:50.239 --> 00:35:52.039
<v Speaker 2>showing up for the home opener.

712
00:35:53.519 --> 00:35:57.079
<v Speaker 17>Honestly, it is all heart felt. I never thought I

713
00:35:57.079 --> 00:36:00.559
<v Speaker 17>would say this, but here's where we're coming down. Both

714
00:36:00.599 --> 00:36:04.159
<v Speaker 17>my wife and I eyes and it was just it

715
00:36:04.239 --> 00:36:09.079
<v Speaker 17>was it was everything. It wasn't one specific moment, it

716
00:36:09.159 --> 00:36:14.639
<v Speaker 17>was pretty much the entire the entire time. So you

717
00:36:14.639 --> 00:36:16.880
<v Speaker 17>you do a great job. Thank you for everything that

718
00:36:16.960 --> 00:36:20.119
<v Speaker 17>you do, and hopefully I'll see you running to you

719
00:36:20.159 --> 00:36:20.599
<v Speaker 17>one day.

720
00:36:20.840 --> 00:36:21.440
<v Speaker 9>We love you.

721
00:36:22.320 --> 00:36:25.480
<v Speaker 2>Thank you, guys. I appreciate it, appreciate the love. And

722
00:36:25.559 --> 00:36:28.599
<v Speaker 2>man I could tell you guys bleed Dodger Blue eight

723
00:36:28.679 --> 00:36:32.480
<v Speaker 2>six six nine seven two five seventy is the phone number. Yeah,

724
00:36:32.519 --> 00:36:35.440
<v Speaker 2>it was a spectacular day out here at Dodger Stadium.

725
00:36:35.559 --> 00:36:38.679
<v Speaker 2>The Dodgers got it right like they normally do. Uh,

726
00:36:38.800 --> 00:36:43.199
<v Speaker 2>but today was especially a beautiful day out here at

727
00:36:43.199 --> 00:36:47.000
<v Speaker 2>Dodger Stadium. They had the fire captains from the Altadena

728
00:36:47.159 --> 00:36:50.320
<v Speaker 2>Fire Department and the LA Fire Department unveiling.

729
00:36:50.760 --> 00:36:51.960
<v Speaker 3>By the way, when you.

730
00:36:51.920 --> 00:36:54.840
<v Speaker 2>Come to Dodger Stadium and you look up towards that

731
00:36:54.920 --> 00:36:57.880
<v Speaker 2>stadium club down the right field line, you'll see the

732
00:36:57.960 --> 00:37:03.599
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty four World Championship baseball that will be there forever.

733
00:37:04.199 --> 00:37:07.599
<v Speaker 2>I loved how they flew the flag. The flag will

734
00:37:07.639 --> 00:37:10.800
<v Speaker 2>be flying all season long, the American flag and the

735
00:37:10.880 --> 00:37:14.760
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty four World Championship flag. That's always special when

736
00:37:14.760 --> 00:37:18.360
<v Speaker 2>you come to Dodgers Stadium. So they will be celebrating

737
00:37:18.440 --> 00:37:21.559
<v Speaker 2>the World Series all season long. But I love how

738
00:37:21.559 --> 00:37:27.239
<v Speaker 2>these players can compartmentalize that they can celebrate it, enjoy it.

739
00:37:27.559 --> 00:37:30.480
<v Speaker 2>Freddie Freeman told us that in Tokyo. But they also

740
00:37:30.679 --> 00:37:35.639
<v Speaker 2>understand they want more. They're not satisfied. And before today's

741
00:37:35.639 --> 00:37:38.719
<v Speaker 2>game and all the pregame hoopla, we had a chance

742
00:37:38.760 --> 00:37:41.239
<v Speaker 2>to be in the manager's office with Dave Roberts and

743
00:37:41.320 --> 00:37:44.800
<v Speaker 2>asked him how do the Dodgers keep the edge after

744
00:37:45.000 --> 00:37:47.760
<v Speaker 2>such a great run to the World Series last year.

745
00:37:48.559 --> 00:37:52.880
<v Speaker 8>You know what, I think there's individual goals. Certainly, I

746
00:37:52.880 --> 00:37:56.840
<v Speaker 8>think each person has their own motivations, which is rightful

747
00:37:56.880 --> 00:38:00.760
<v Speaker 8>and should be, and there's also a team sense of it.

748
00:38:00.800 --> 00:38:04.880
<v Speaker 8>And I think for me, the message was really about

749
00:38:04.920 --> 00:38:08.159
<v Speaker 8>our character and trying to really build a legacy for

750
00:38:08.760 --> 00:38:11.639
<v Speaker 8>the organization, for the fans do things the right way.

751
00:38:11.679 --> 00:38:13.760
<v Speaker 8>And I think that our guys, as you see us

752
00:38:13.920 --> 00:38:16.280
<v Speaker 8>play every day, we mind the little things. We play

753
00:38:16.280 --> 00:38:20.440
<v Speaker 8>the right way. We play Dodger Baseball stick together. It's

754
00:38:20.519 --> 00:38:23.760
<v Speaker 8>not linear a major League baseball season. There's ups and downs,

755
00:38:23.800 --> 00:38:27.639
<v Speaker 8>ebbs and flows, and just continue to make mind the

756
00:38:27.639 --> 00:38:30.920
<v Speaker 8>little things for me and the noise will be muted

757
00:38:31.320 --> 00:38:34.599
<v Speaker 8>and our expectation is again to hoist that trophy up.

758
00:38:34.880 --> 00:38:39.000
<v Speaker 2>Dave Roberts, entering his tenth season as the Dodgers manager,

759
00:38:39.360 --> 00:38:41.719
<v Speaker 2>You're a decade in now, Dave, and you got more

760
00:38:41.760 --> 00:38:44.440
<v Speaker 2>ahead of you. When you look at look back at

761
00:38:44.440 --> 00:38:47.400
<v Speaker 2>the culture that you've established here, What are you the

762
00:38:47.400 --> 00:38:48.079
<v Speaker 2>most proud of?

763
00:38:48.880 --> 00:38:52.360
<v Speaker 8>I think the thing I'm most proud of is our

764
00:38:52.400 --> 00:39:01.039
<v Speaker 8>guys respect their positions as major league players, respect the uniform,

765
00:39:01.320 --> 00:39:04.480
<v Speaker 8>the franchise, the Dodgers are educated on the history of

766
00:39:04.480 --> 00:39:08.679
<v Speaker 8>the game, our organization. It's a responsibility to be a

767
00:39:08.719 --> 00:39:11.800
<v Speaker 8>major league player that are accountable to one another, and

768
00:39:12.119 --> 00:39:14.239
<v Speaker 8>we do things the right way. And I think for

769
00:39:14.360 --> 00:39:20.480
<v Speaker 8>me is you know, there's not the caddy egos strife

770
00:39:20.679 --> 00:39:24.920
<v Speaker 8>in some other clubhouses or locker rooms. Baseball is the

771
00:39:24.960 --> 00:39:26.800
<v Speaker 8>thing and winning is the thing. And that's all we

772
00:39:26.920 --> 00:39:29.360
<v Speaker 8>care about it, I think for me and the consistency

773
00:39:29.480 --> 00:39:33.360
<v Speaker 8>of that mindset is something I'm probably most proud of.

774
00:39:34.400 --> 00:39:37.280
<v Speaker 2>All Right, there's manager Dave Roberts, who you know, at

775
00:39:37.320 --> 00:39:40.119
<v Speaker 2>this time last year everybody was saying, well, does he

776
00:39:40.199 --> 00:39:42.199
<v Speaker 2>have to win it all to keep his job? And

777
00:39:42.239 --> 00:39:45.000
<v Speaker 2>then when the Dodgers were down two games to one

778
00:39:45.079 --> 00:39:47.679
<v Speaker 2>to the Padres, well, it looks like this is the

779
00:39:47.760 --> 00:39:50.880
<v Speaker 2>end for Dave Roberts. How crazy is it that the

780
00:39:50.960 --> 00:39:54.719
<v Speaker 2>narrative changed so quickly from a year ago and even

781
00:39:54.840 --> 00:39:58.079
<v Speaker 2>just months ago to now. Dave Roberts has a three

782
00:39:58.159 --> 00:40:01.320
<v Speaker 2>year extension and he's a two time World Series champion,

783
00:40:01.360 --> 00:40:05.920
<v Speaker 2>and it feels like you have actually turned the corner

784
00:40:05.960 --> 00:40:09.119
<v Speaker 2>and realized that this guy might be doing something right

785
00:40:09.519 --> 00:40:11.960
<v Speaker 2>after nine years being the manager, and now in his

786
00:40:12.000 --> 00:40:15.280
<v Speaker 2>tenth season. Eight six six nine, eight seven two five

787
00:40:15.480 --> 00:40:19.639
<v Speaker 2>seventy is the phone number. Dave Roberts manages the rest

788
00:40:19.679 --> 00:40:23.400
<v Speaker 2>of this game after blake'snew when five innings, deployed his

789
00:40:23.519 --> 00:40:24.320
<v Speaker 2>bullpen and.

790
00:40:24.320 --> 00:40:26.480
<v Speaker 3>Was able to get a five to four win.

791
00:40:26.599 --> 00:40:29.360
<v Speaker 2>The Dodgers are three to oh to start the twenty

792
00:40:29.440 --> 00:40:32.760
<v Speaker 2>twenty five season. Let's go out to Sheldon who is

793
00:40:32.800 --> 00:40:36.000
<v Speaker 2>at Dodgers Stadium tonight. Hi, Sheldon, you're on Dodger Talk.

794
00:40:37.000 --> 00:40:39.400
<v Speaker 6>Well, it's us, say love the show Man.

795
00:40:39.960 --> 00:40:42.920
<v Speaker 15>So I truly believe the Dodgers are so stacked that

796
00:40:42.960 --> 00:40:45.320
<v Speaker 15>we can go one sixty two and oh but in

797
00:40:45.360 --> 00:40:48.000
<v Speaker 15>the event that we don't, what do you think is

798
00:40:48.000 --> 00:40:52.079
<v Speaker 15>gonna happen with our top prospects to Paula Rushing and Hope.

799
00:40:52.159 --> 00:40:53.880
<v Speaker 15>Our team is so stacked, how are you going to

800
00:40:53.960 --> 00:40:55.800
<v Speaker 15>mix them in the outfield this season?

801
00:40:56.920 --> 00:41:00.840
<v Speaker 2>Well, the beauty of the Dodgers is they're ready and

802
00:41:00.880 --> 00:41:04.360
<v Speaker 2>they have enough depth if injuries occur. What if Will

803
00:41:04.440 --> 00:41:07.039
<v Speaker 2>Smith goes down, does that mean all of a sudden

804
00:41:07.079 --> 00:41:10.320
<v Speaker 2>now Dalton Rushing is going to get his opportunity?

805
00:41:10.679 --> 00:41:11.199
<v Speaker 3>I believe.

806
00:41:11.280 --> 00:41:11.360
<v Speaker 7>So.

807
00:41:11.559 --> 00:41:14.159
<v Speaker 2>I don't believe they're going to go to Hunter Fiducca

808
00:41:14.519 --> 00:41:17.440
<v Speaker 2>or Chris Oke right away if it's an extended period

809
00:41:17.440 --> 00:41:17.880
<v Speaker 2>of time.

810
00:41:17.960 --> 00:41:23.320
<v Speaker 3>But you hope Will stays healthy. But that's that's that situation.

811
00:41:24.159 --> 00:41:27.719
<v Speaker 2>And as far as jose Way Depaula, he's a couple

812
00:41:27.760 --> 00:41:30.840
<v Speaker 2>of years away, Sheldon, So there's no rush on that.

813
00:41:31.119 --> 00:41:33.960
<v Speaker 2>And actually, if you look at the Dodger outfield, that's

814
00:41:34.079 --> 00:41:37.079
<v Speaker 2>one area of the team that you would hope in

815
00:41:37.119 --> 00:41:40.079
<v Speaker 2>the next two to three years, guys like Depaula and

816
00:41:40.199 --> 00:41:44.239
<v Speaker 2>Zayer Hope can can hold down the outfield. You know,

817
00:41:44.480 --> 00:41:48.679
<v Speaker 2>once the ta Oscar Hernandez contract expires in three or

818
00:41:48.679 --> 00:41:52.800
<v Speaker 2>four years. Conforto's on a one year deal. So you

819
00:41:52.920 --> 00:41:56.920
<v Speaker 2>got pie Hez and those two young guys as well. Thanks,

820
00:41:57.039 --> 00:42:01.719
<v Speaker 2>I say, hey, my pleasure, Sheldon. I don't mind looking

821
00:42:01.760 --> 00:42:03.599
<v Speaker 2>at the macro as well as the micro.

822
00:42:03.800 --> 00:42:04.800
<v Speaker 3>No worries about that.

823
00:42:04.920 --> 00:42:08.559
<v Speaker 2>But you know, if that's the biggest concern for the Dodgers,

824
00:42:08.559 --> 00:42:10.679
<v Speaker 2>they're in a pretty good spot. And if you look

825
00:42:10.719 --> 00:42:12.800
<v Speaker 2>at their pitching staff, you know, I was talking to

826
00:42:12.920 --> 00:42:16.000
<v Speaker 2>David Kohane about it. You know a lot of these guys.

827
00:42:16.719 --> 00:42:19.800
<v Speaker 2>Five of these guys can be a starting rotation for

828
00:42:20.000 --> 00:42:22.800
<v Speaker 2>any number of teams. When you look at the Dodgers

829
00:42:23.159 --> 00:42:25.599
<v Speaker 2>starting five, and then you think about the guys that

830
00:42:25.760 --> 00:42:30.159
<v Speaker 2>aren't pitching, including Otani and Kershaw and Tony Gonsolin. You

831
00:42:30.280 --> 00:42:33.360
<v Speaker 2>got Landon Knack and Bobby Miller in the minor leagues.

832
00:42:33.840 --> 00:42:37.880
<v Speaker 2>You saw what Jackson Ferris is doing and the fast

833
00:42:37.920 --> 00:42:40.079
<v Speaker 2>track that he's on to be in the big leagues.

834
00:42:40.559 --> 00:42:45.639
<v Speaker 2>The Dodgers basically have ten deep they have. They're ten

835
00:42:45.719 --> 00:42:48.760
<v Speaker 2>deep in their starting pitching. I mean, who can say that.

836
00:42:49.719 --> 00:42:52.920
<v Speaker 2>It's ridiculous what they have going on, and they have

837
00:42:53.119 --> 00:42:56.679
<v Speaker 2>lined themselves up to be in that position. Let's go

838
00:42:56.760 --> 00:43:00.239
<v Speaker 2>out to Hollywood. Nick, You're on Dodger Talk with David

839
00:43:00.280 --> 00:43:00.840
<v Speaker 2>vasse Hi.

840
00:43:00.920 --> 00:43:04.440
<v Speaker 5>Nick, Hey, what's going on DV? Hey?

841
00:43:04.559 --> 00:43:06.880
<v Speaker 18>So I just wanted to talk about your favorite pitcher

842
00:43:07.239 --> 00:43:10.400
<v Speaker 18>the Lakes. Now, I look pretty good today, got touched

843
00:43:10.480 --> 00:43:12.880
<v Speaker 18>up a little bit, but looked real good. I was

844
00:43:12.960 --> 00:43:15.559
<v Speaker 18>just wondering if you're worried about him falling into the

845
00:43:15.599 --> 00:43:18.519
<v Speaker 18>same problem he's always kind of had, of trying to

846
00:43:18.639 --> 00:43:22.079
<v Speaker 18>be too fine and getting a lot of balls, walking

847
00:43:22.079 --> 00:43:23.960
<v Speaker 18>a lot of batters, putting batters on base. Is that

848
00:43:24.039 --> 00:43:25.159
<v Speaker 18>like concern you at all?

849
00:43:25.519 --> 00:43:25.719
<v Speaker 9>Yeah?

850
00:43:25.760 --> 00:43:26.119
<v Speaker 3>It does.

851
00:43:26.559 --> 00:43:29.599
<v Speaker 2>And I'm always trying to tell him I want six innings.

852
00:43:29.639 --> 00:43:32.159
<v Speaker 2>I want seven innings out of him. He doesn't need

853
00:43:32.199 --> 00:43:36.199
<v Speaker 2>to make the nastiest pitch every single time. He was

854
00:43:36.239 --> 00:43:39.079
<v Speaker 2>trying to throw the nastiest curveball when he spiked it

855
00:43:39.119 --> 00:43:42.280
<v Speaker 2>and it went over Will Smith's shoulder and that allowed

856
00:43:42.280 --> 00:43:45.039
<v Speaker 2>the Tigers to tie the score on a wild pitch there.

857
00:43:45.079 --> 00:43:47.760
<v Speaker 2>He was trying to be too nasty. He doesn't need

858
00:43:47.800 --> 00:43:51.480
<v Speaker 2>to be that guy. But you know he he's a perfectionist.

859
00:43:51.559 --> 00:43:53.559
<v Speaker 2>He wants to be the best he could be. Make

860
00:43:53.599 --> 00:43:57.000
<v Speaker 2>the best pitch every time, but you can't be chasing,

861
00:43:57.440 --> 00:43:58.559
<v Speaker 2>you know, the best pitch.

862
00:43:58.599 --> 00:43:59.559
<v Speaker 3>You got to chase out.

863
00:44:01.360 --> 00:44:03.920
<v Speaker 18>Awesome, Thanks man, I remember smellbat snow?

864
00:44:04.480 --> 00:44:06.119
<v Speaker 3>All right, Nick, thanks for the folk all.

865
00:44:06.199 --> 00:44:10.039
<v Speaker 2>I'm glad everybody's excited about snell Zilla. I mean, you're

866
00:44:10.039 --> 00:44:13.320
<v Speaker 2>gonna find out you know what I knew. I don't

867
00:44:13.360 --> 00:44:15.639
<v Speaker 2>want to sound that way, but he is a two

868
00:44:15.719 --> 00:44:18.639
<v Speaker 2>time cy Young Winner. He is thirty one years old.

869
00:44:18.679 --> 00:44:20.840
<v Speaker 2>He has pitched in the World Series, he has pitched

870
00:44:20.880 --> 00:44:24.280
<v Speaker 2>in the NLCS. He beat the Dodgers in the NLDS

871
00:44:24.320 --> 00:44:26.920
<v Speaker 2>a couple of years ago. So it's not like this

872
00:44:26.960 --> 00:44:30.079
<v Speaker 2>guy's twenty four years old just breaking into the big leagues.

873
00:44:30.559 --> 00:44:33.280
<v Speaker 2>He has a pretty extensive resume, and if you go

874
00:44:33.360 --> 00:44:36.559
<v Speaker 2>back to last year, he threw a Noah hitter and

875
00:44:36.800 --> 00:44:39.880
<v Speaker 2>had one of the best ten game stretches to close

876
00:44:39.920 --> 00:44:43.000
<v Speaker 2>out a season than any other pitcher has had in

877
00:44:43.079 --> 00:44:46.800
<v Speaker 2>recent baseball history. Let's go out to Jerry, who's at

878
00:44:46.840 --> 00:44:48.760
<v Speaker 2>Dodger or was at Dodger Stadium.

879
00:44:48.840 --> 00:44:50.039
<v Speaker 3>Hi, Jerry, how you doing.

880
00:44:50.719 --> 00:44:51.800
<v Speaker 6>Hi, Da, Hi Dave.

881
00:44:51.840 --> 00:44:52.320
<v Speaker 5>How are you.

882
00:44:52.880 --> 00:44:53.599
<v Speaker 3>I'm doing great?

883
00:44:55.079 --> 00:44:56.719
<v Speaker 5>Yep, Hey, thanks for taking our call.

884
00:44:57.000 --> 00:44:57.199
<v Speaker 6>Yeah.

885
00:44:57.199 --> 00:44:59.679
<v Speaker 16>I flew down from Danville, California this morning to go

886
00:44:59.719 --> 00:45:02.679
<v Speaker 16>to the opening game with my son Joey. Just loved it.

887
00:45:02.719 --> 00:45:05.400
<v Speaker 16>We thought the Dodgers just did an outstanding job of

888
00:45:05.400 --> 00:45:09.400
<v Speaker 16>putting on a great show, classy organization, and we love

889
00:45:09.480 --> 00:45:13.480
<v Speaker 16>the story about Clayton Kershaw in back in twenty thirteen

890
00:45:13.519 --> 00:45:16.519
<v Speaker 16>at the greatest opening game in the way the great

891
00:45:16.639 --> 00:45:19.840
<v Speaker 16>Vin Scully closed out that game was Clayton Kershaw one

892
00:45:20.280 --> 00:45:22.119
<v Speaker 16>San Francisco Giants nothing.

893
00:45:22.880 --> 00:45:26.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, no doubt, that definitely was Vin. Thanks a lot

894
00:45:26.360 --> 00:45:28.800
<v Speaker 2>for the phone call, Jerry, and I'm glad you made

895
00:45:28.800 --> 00:45:31.920
<v Speaker 2>some new memories at Dodger Stadium earlier today.

896
00:45:33.239 --> 00:45:33.639
<v Speaker 6>Thank you.

897
00:45:34.559 --> 00:45:35.079
<v Speaker 3>All right.

898
00:45:35.159 --> 00:45:38.440
<v Speaker 2>That'll do it for us on Dodger Talk tonight. It

899
00:45:38.519 --> 00:45:43.239
<v Speaker 2>doesn't get any better for the Tigers tomorrow, and it

900
00:45:43.280 --> 00:45:46.840
<v Speaker 2>should be just as fun before the game tomorrow night

901
00:45:46.880 --> 00:45:50.119
<v Speaker 2>at Dodgers Stadium as the Dodgers will receive their World

902
00:45:50.199 --> 00:45:54.119
<v Speaker 2>Championship rings before the game and Yoshi Yamamoto will be

903
00:45:54.199 --> 00:45:57.480
<v Speaker 2>making his second start of the year. He went five

904
00:45:57.519 --> 00:46:02.199
<v Speaker 2>innings in opening day in tow five innings one earn run.

905
00:46:02.239 --> 00:46:04.719
<v Speaker 2>He's looking for his second win of the year, going

906
00:46:04.800 --> 00:46:08.440
<v Speaker 2>up against former Dodger Jack Flarerty, who re signed with

907
00:46:08.480 --> 00:46:11.760
<v Speaker 2>the Tigers during the offseason after being traded to the

908
00:46:11.800 --> 00:46:15.239
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers at the deadline last year. So I had a

909
00:46:15.320 --> 00:46:19.239
<v Speaker 2>chance to talk to Jack and he has only but

910
00:46:19.400 --> 00:46:22.800
<v Speaker 2>great memories coming back to Dodgers Stadium and he was

911
00:46:22.840 --> 00:46:25.199
<v Speaker 2>able to take it all in yesterday when the Tigers

912
00:46:25.239 --> 00:46:27.119
<v Speaker 2>worked out on the off days.

913
00:46:27.119 --> 00:46:28.480
<v Speaker 3>So looking forward to seeing.

914
00:46:28.320 --> 00:46:31.400

915
00:46:31.440 --> 00:46:35.159
<v Speaker 2>receive his championship ring on Saturday, and Jack said he'll

916
00:46:35.239 --> 00:46:38.440
<v Speaker 2>join us on the pregame show before Saturday's game after

917
00:46:38.480 --> 00:46:39.159
<v Speaker 2>getting his ring.

00:46:39.239 --> 00:46:40.199
<v Speaker 3>So looking forward to that.

919
00:46:40.360 --> 00:46:42.960
<v Speaker 2>And hey, Jack Flarity was a big part of what

920
00:46:43.000 --> 00:46:46.199
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers did in the postseason last year. By the way,
