<v Speaker 4>Bad.

00:00:30.039 --> 00:00:32.640
<v Speaker 2>Is Hi, everybody, and welcome to Dodger Talk on this

15
00:00:36.640 --> 00:00:39.240
<v Speaker 2>on a Friday, driving around, sitting at home, wherever you

00:00:39.280 --> 00:00:41.759
<v Speaker 2>may be listening on a FI seventy LA Sports Live

<v Speaker 2>everywhere on the iHeartRadio app outside of the Southern California era.

<v Speaker 2>We appreciate it. We appreciate you listen to the podcast

19
00:00:48.520 --> 00:00:50.759
<v Speaker 2>as well. As the Dodgers get to win in Saint

20
00:00:50.840 --> 00:00:52.840
<v Speaker 2>Louis seven to six over the Cardinals.

21
00:00:53.159 --> 00:00:54.119
<v Speaker 3>It wasn't easy.

22
00:00:54.200 --> 00:00:56.920
<v Speaker 2>The Dodgers jumped out to a two zhen lead, saw

23
00:00:56.960 --> 00:01:00.079
<v Speaker 2>that lead disappear on a Paul Goldsmith to run home run.

24
00:01:00.200 --> 00:01:02.359
<v Speaker 2>The Cardinals would take the lead in the third out

25
00:01:02.359 --> 00:01:04.760
<v Speaker 2>of run in the fifth and the Dodgers down four

26
00:01:04.760 --> 00:01:07.439
<v Speaker 2>to two in the sixth inning, put together a five

27
00:01:07.640 --> 00:01:10.799
<v Speaker 2>run inning capped off by a Kevin Kiermyer three run

28
00:01:10.840 --> 00:01:13.280
<v Speaker 2>home run to give the Dodgers the lead. They go

29
00:01:13.319 --> 00:01:15.280
<v Speaker 2>on and win it by a final of seven to six.

30
00:01:15.560 --> 00:01:19.280
<v Speaker 2>Justin Robluski, he gets the win. The left hander gets

31
00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:22.400
<v Speaker 2>called back up, makes his fifth start in the major leagues,

32
00:01:22.439 --> 00:01:25.239
<v Speaker 2>goes five innings, Dodgers give the run support in the sixth,

33
00:01:25.519 --> 00:01:27.959
<v Speaker 2>they give him his first win in the big leagues.

34
00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:30.560
<v Speaker 2>He was happy after the game talking to David Vasse

35
00:01:30.719 --> 00:01:33.519
<v Speaker 2>and the rest of the assembled media, as Michael Kopek

36
00:01:33.599 --> 00:01:37.560
<v Speaker 2>also got a first, his first save in a Dodger uniform.

37
00:01:37.599 --> 00:01:39.439
<v Speaker 2>The hard throwing right hender picked up his tenth save

38
00:01:39.519 --> 00:01:42.319
<v Speaker 2>of the season, his first in a Dodger uniform. And

39
00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:45.560
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers just had the right recipe tonight, timely hitting,

40
00:01:45.719 --> 00:01:49.319
<v Speaker 2>home run ball, good pitching, and a lockdown closer in

41
00:01:49.359 --> 00:01:51.599
<v Speaker 2>the ninth inning to get the win. And they do

42
00:01:51.799 --> 00:01:54.000
<v Speaker 2>just that, seven to six over the Cardinals, and with

43
00:01:54.079 --> 00:01:58.680
<v Speaker 2>the Diamondbacks and Padres both losing, the Dodgers pick up

44
00:01:58.719 --> 00:02:02.000
<v Speaker 2>a game in the division, now three games up over

45
00:02:02.079 --> 00:02:05.079
<v Speaker 2>Arizona and San Diego. Eight six six nine eighty seven

46
00:02:05.120 --> 00:02:08.280
<v Speaker 2>two five seventy is our number. Eight six six nine

47
00:02:08.319 --> 00:02:12.879
<v Speaker 2>eight seven two five seventy. That's all good. The Dodgers win.

48
00:02:13.080 --> 00:02:15.599
<v Speaker 2>They come back and do it. They get good pitching,

49
00:02:15.919 --> 00:02:20.400
<v Speaker 2>three home runs. Mookie Betts goes team, Michael Kopek comes in,

50
00:02:20.719 --> 00:02:22.479
<v Speaker 2>closes it out in the ninth inning with a pair

51
00:02:22.479 --> 00:02:23.199
<v Speaker 2>of strikeouts.

52
00:02:23.240 --> 00:02:25.960
<v Speaker 3>They pick up a game in the Division. The bad again.

53
00:02:26.039 --> 00:02:29.199
<v Speaker 2>Tyler Glass Now, right before first pitch, we find out

54
00:02:29.199 --> 00:02:31.719
<v Speaker 2>the move that he was placed on the injured list

55
00:02:31.759 --> 00:02:35.560
<v Speaker 2>with right elbow tendon. Nightis quite frankly in his last start.

56
00:02:35.800 --> 00:02:38.840
<v Speaker 2>Didn't see anything that was out of the ordinary. Didn't

57
00:02:38.879 --> 00:02:41.199
<v Speaker 2>hear anything the last couple of days as far as

58
00:02:41.599 --> 00:02:44.719
<v Speaker 2>he wasn't feeling right. The elbow was barking, he felt

59
00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:47.879
<v Speaker 2>some soreness. This kind of came out of left field.

60
00:02:48.000 --> 00:02:51.120
<v Speaker 2>Tyler glasnow has made twenty two starts for this Dodgers team.

61
00:02:51.439 --> 00:02:54.199
<v Speaker 2>He's got that one short stint on the injured list.

62
00:02:54.800 --> 00:02:58.479
<v Speaker 2>He last pitched on Sunday in the final game of

63
00:02:58.520 --> 00:03:02.240
<v Speaker 2>this home stand before the road started. Win seven innings,

64
00:03:02.479 --> 00:03:05.680
<v Speaker 2>a lot, two runs, five hits. Dodgers winded up winning

65
00:03:05.680 --> 00:03:08.039
<v Speaker 2>the game in next r innings in ten innings against

66
00:03:08.039 --> 00:03:11.719
<v Speaker 2>the Pirates, but he pitched his tailoff. Didn't hear anything

67
00:03:11.719 --> 00:03:14.439
<v Speaker 2>on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, And here we are on

68
00:03:14.520 --> 00:03:19.039
<v Speaker 2>Friday and find out that Tyler Glass Now's elbow he's

69
00:03:19.080 --> 00:03:22.879
<v Speaker 2>got some tendonitis in it, some inflammation in his right elbow,

70
00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:27.360
<v Speaker 2>and right there is a red flag as we sit

71
00:03:27.439 --> 00:03:28.800
<v Speaker 2>here now on August.

72
00:03:28.439 --> 00:03:31.240
<v Speaker 3>Sixteenth, one Dodger pitcher.

73
00:03:30.960 --> 00:03:33.879
<v Speaker 2>Who you can count on and hope for in the

74
00:03:33.879 --> 00:03:38.800
<v Speaker 2>postseason is now got tendonitis in Tyler Glass now. And

75
00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:40.879
<v Speaker 2>we know that he's coming off an arm injury a

76
00:03:40.919 --> 00:03:43.879
<v Speaker 2>year and a half ago. He has pitched really well.

77
00:03:43.919 --> 00:03:46.680
<v Speaker 2>He's been durable this year. He's given now almost a

78
00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:50.520
<v Speaker 2>career high and number innings pitched and outings, and he's

79
00:03:50.560 --> 00:03:52.759
<v Speaker 2>been everything the Dodgers that hoped for when they traded

80
00:03:52.800 --> 00:03:55.719
<v Speaker 2>for him and signed him to that extension this past offseason.

81
00:03:55.960 --> 00:03:58.759
<v Speaker 2>And to now find out he's got tendonitis in the elbow,

82
00:03:59.680 --> 00:04:02.680
<v Speaker 2>it's starting to worry me. And that twenty second start

83
00:04:02.680 --> 00:04:05.520
<v Speaker 2>on Sunday against the Pirates officially puts him at a

84
00:04:05.520 --> 00:04:09.319
<v Speaker 2>new career high as far as starts in a season.

85
00:04:10.199 --> 00:04:15.199
<v Speaker 2>Also now one hundred and thirty four innings pitched, he

86
00:04:15.240 --> 00:04:18.800
<v Speaker 2>has surpassed his career high there as well. So he

87
00:04:18.879 --> 00:04:25.040
<v Speaker 2>is into uncharted territory as far as pitching. So when

88
00:04:25.040 --> 00:04:31.240
<v Speaker 2>you hear that and now is elbows barking, I start

89
00:04:31.279 --> 00:04:34.720
<v Speaker 2>to worry. And I worry because we've seen so many

90
00:04:34.759 --> 00:04:39.920
<v Speaker 2>Dodger pitchers, starters, relievers get hit by the injury bug.

91
00:04:40.160 --> 00:04:44.160
<v Speaker 2>And I'm not counting Tony Gonsolid, and I'm not counting

92
00:04:44.480 --> 00:04:47.759
<v Speaker 2>Dustin May, who the Dodgers weren't really counting on this

93
00:04:47.839 --> 00:04:54.079
<v Speaker 2>year anyways. But Emma Shean, Kyle Hurt, the injury to Yamamoto,

94
00:04:54.439 --> 00:04:58.279
<v Speaker 2>Bruce dark Ratterol Blake trying to on and off the

95
00:04:58.319 --> 00:05:02.160
<v Speaker 2>il Ryan Brazier bio by a calf injury, non throwing

96
00:05:02.279 --> 00:05:06.920
<v Speaker 2>arm situation. It's been a problem in Kurtin Clayton Kershaw

97
00:05:07.000 --> 00:05:11.120
<v Speaker 2>coming off shoulder surgery. To hear Tyler Glass now's arm

98
00:05:11.240 --> 00:05:15.000
<v Speaker 2>is barking with ten tonight, is is now worrisome for

99
00:05:15.079 --> 00:05:20.759
<v Speaker 2>me as he is now career high in innings end

100
00:05:20.759 --> 00:05:25.600
<v Speaker 2>games started, all right, Dave Roberts speaking to the media,

101
00:05:25.600 --> 00:05:28.839
<v Speaker 2>We've been waiting for him. He is the fact is

102
00:05:28.879 --> 00:05:31.959
<v Speaker 2>talking to the media. David Vassay is there. Let's head

103
00:05:32.000 --> 00:05:35.319
<v Speaker 2>back to Saint Louis, hopefully find out more about Tyler

104
00:05:35.319 --> 00:05:38.439
<v Speaker 2>Glassnow's elbow. Find out more about this game tonight. Let's

105
00:05:38.519 --> 00:05:40.920
<v Speaker 2>check in back in Saint Louis with the Dodger manager.

106
00:05:40.959 --> 00:05:42.319
<v Speaker 2>Here's Dave Roberts with the media.

107
00:05:42.720 --> 00:05:45.639
<v Speaker 5>All right, Dave, considering everything that's going on with the team,

108
00:05:45.680 --> 00:05:47.279
<v Speaker 5>how big of a win was this tonight?

109
00:05:47.680 --> 00:05:53.079
<v Speaker 6>Huge win? You know, tonight we got contributions from from everyone,

110
00:05:53.720 --> 00:05:57.639
<v Speaker 6>and you know, it wasn't the best pitch game, but

111
00:05:57.879 --> 00:06:02.000
<v Speaker 6>offensively we we uh can't through. Kim had a huge hit,

112
00:06:03.839 --> 00:06:06.079
<v Speaker 6>you know, migey Row had another big hit for us

113
00:06:06.160 --> 00:06:09.800
<v Speaker 6>and played a really good defense, and so we got

114
00:06:09.800 --> 00:06:12.839
<v Speaker 6>to win. And the back end guys were fantastic tonight

115
00:06:13.480 --> 00:06:17.360
<v Speaker 6>and much needed. It was good playing against the playoff

116
00:06:17.360 --> 00:06:19.439
<v Speaker 6>contending team. It's hard to win games here.

117
00:06:19.680 --> 00:06:22.680
<v Speaker 5>Can you tell guys like Kopek and kier Maier that

118
00:06:22.800 --> 00:06:25.920
<v Speaker 5>their careers have been rejuvenated coming to a winning team.

119
00:06:25.839 --> 00:06:29.279
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, you can. And players want to play, but players

120
00:06:29.279 --> 00:06:32.000
<v Speaker 6>want to win. And so now you put those two

121
00:06:32.040 --> 00:06:36.439
<v Speaker 6>guys that are you know, veteran, veteran type players certainly

122
00:06:36.480 --> 00:06:40.319
<v Speaker 6>on the Kermeyer side in a winning environment and they're

123
00:06:40.480 --> 00:06:44.399
<v Speaker 6>ready when called upon, and the teammates feed off there

124
00:06:44.480 --> 00:06:48.160
<v Speaker 6>kind of their gratitude to be here, and you know

125
00:06:48.199 --> 00:06:52.279
<v Speaker 6>they come with a vengeance and we need that edginess certainly,

126
00:06:52.439 --> 00:06:54.480
<v Speaker 6>you know where we're at in the calendar and certainly

127
00:06:54.480 --> 00:06:55.439
<v Speaker 6>in the standings with.

128
00:06:55.480 --> 00:06:59.720
<v Speaker 5>As dominant as Kopek has been, not just tonight you

129
00:06:59.759 --> 00:07:01.720
<v Speaker 5>pitched him in the ninth him getting to say, the

130
00:07:01.800 --> 00:07:03.959
<v Speaker 5>questions are going to be is he your closer?

131
00:07:04.959 --> 00:07:07.240
<v Speaker 6>You know, we'll see. I don't want to kind of

132
00:07:07.639 --> 00:07:13.160
<v Speaker 6>annoying him yet, but he's certainly, you know, making a

133
00:07:13.199 --> 00:07:17.120
<v Speaker 6>strong case for that. And I also, you know, feel

134
00:07:17.120 --> 00:07:18.920
<v Speaker 6>that you know, we've got some other guys that can

135
00:07:18.959 --> 00:07:21.959
<v Speaker 6>finish games, and you know there's other times that the

136
00:07:22.000 --> 00:07:24.120
<v Speaker 6>eighth inning is typically the top of the top of

137
00:07:24.120 --> 00:07:28.480
<v Speaker 6>the order, and so you know that matters to so well,

138
00:07:28.560 --> 00:07:30.560
<v Speaker 6>we'll see how it goes. But Cope, still in the

139
00:07:30.560 --> 00:07:33.519
<v Speaker 6>heck out of the baseball, what can.

140
00:07:33.360 --> 00:07:36.040
<v Speaker 5>You tell us about Tyler's injury that you announced before

141
00:07:36.160 --> 00:07:36.680
<v Speaker 5>first pitch.

142
00:07:36.920 --> 00:07:41.920
<v Speaker 6>He's got some elbow tendonitis and so this came about

143
00:07:42.680 --> 00:07:47.319
<v Speaker 6>after his bullpen and so after his pen I forgot

144
00:07:47.360 --> 00:07:50.000
<v Speaker 6>which day it was he felt good. The next day

145
00:07:50.000 --> 00:07:52.759
<v Speaker 6>in catch play it flared up a little bit. So

146
00:07:53.519 --> 00:07:55.879
<v Speaker 6>right now it's ten to nine ers. We took scans

147
00:07:56.000 --> 00:07:59.399
<v Speaker 6>and that's what it came. That's what came of it. So,

148
00:08:00.040 --> 00:08:02.439
<v Speaker 6>you know, our expectation is that it's going to be

149
00:08:02.480 --> 00:08:05.000
<v Speaker 6>the two week. We backdate a few days and then

150
00:08:05.480 --> 00:08:07.040
<v Speaker 6>you know, when his time is up, he'll be ready

151
00:08:07.040 --> 00:08:08.360
<v Speaker 6>to make a start and we'll plug him in.

152
00:08:08.399 --> 00:08:11.040
<v Speaker 4>Somewhere considered is the elbow though how much does that

153
00:08:11.079 --> 00:08:12.480
<v Speaker 4>sort of in the back of your mind as you're

154
00:08:12.519 --> 00:08:14.199
<v Speaker 4>sort of managing him going forward.

155
00:08:15.519 --> 00:08:18.399
<v Speaker 6>I think that's more of, you know, the impetus of

156
00:08:18.439 --> 00:08:20.560
<v Speaker 6>putting him on the il so we don't have to

157
00:08:20.600 --> 00:08:24.439
<v Speaker 6>worry about, you know, how we manage him. And he

158
00:08:24.519 --> 00:08:27.560
<v Speaker 6>was fighting tooth and nail to make the start tomorrow.

159
00:08:29.160 --> 00:08:32.080
<v Speaker 6>But you know, we've been we've been very consistent as

160
00:08:32.080 --> 00:08:35.440
<v Speaker 6>far as you know, the stretch run, getting guys ready

161
00:08:35.519 --> 00:08:37.960
<v Speaker 6>for the stretch run. And he's a big part of,

162
00:08:38.559 --> 00:08:41.000
<v Speaker 6>you know, finishing the season out the right way. And

163
00:08:41.080 --> 00:08:45.080
<v Speaker 6>so if he were to make the start tomorrow, I

164
00:08:45.120 --> 00:08:47.639
<v Speaker 6>would have been on pins and needles from the first throw,

165
00:08:47.679 --> 00:08:50.159
<v Speaker 6>and I don't think that's good for him, good for

166
00:08:50.240 --> 00:08:53.480
<v Speaker 6>the team, and so we made the right decision. Again,

167
00:08:53.600 --> 00:08:57.240
<v Speaker 6>Tyler was really disappointed because he feels like he wants

168
00:08:57.320 --> 00:08:59.320
<v Speaker 6>to take the baseball. But I think as an organization,

169
00:08:59.799 --> 00:09:00.759
<v Speaker 6>this something we had to.

170
00:09:00.720 --> 00:09:03.399
<v Speaker 2>Do for first fishers. I just were waiting back on

171
00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:03.960
<v Speaker 2>the scans.

172
00:09:05.080 --> 00:09:07.320
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, yeah, just kind of trying to you know, he's

173
00:09:07.360 --> 00:09:09.720
<v Speaker 6>already had a surgery and so just trying to line

174
00:09:09.759 --> 00:09:12.759
<v Speaker 6>up with you know, stuff and getting it gathering as

175
00:09:12.799 --> 00:09:17.519
<v Speaker 6>much information and symptomatically there's still something in there. But

176
00:09:18.159 --> 00:09:20.840
<v Speaker 6>feels that he can still pitch. But that doesn't mean

177
00:09:20.879 --> 00:09:22.440
<v Speaker 6>it's the right decision, even.

178
00:09:22.279 --> 00:09:24.240
<v Speaker 2>If it is kind of a minimum on the eye out.

179
00:09:24.320 --> 00:09:26.759
<v Speaker 7>How about you have to manage him, kind of moving

180
00:09:26.759 --> 00:09:27.279
<v Speaker 7>forward him and.

181
00:09:27.279 --> 00:09:29.960
<v Speaker 6>That he has you know, some history or you know.

182
00:09:30.200 --> 00:09:33.320
<v Speaker 6>I think once he comes back, I think the Governor's off,

183
00:09:35.279 --> 00:09:36.840
<v Speaker 6>you know, where we're going to be at. And that's

184
00:09:36.840 --> 00:09:39.759
<v Speaker 6>the point of going through this process. And so he's

185
00:09:39.759 --> 00:09:42.159
<v Speaker 6>not going to come back until we feel that we

186
00:09:42.279 --> 00:09:43.960
<v Speaker 6>can use him the way he's supposed to be used

187
00:09:43.960 --> 00:09:48.440
<v Speaker 6>as a major league you know, Ace and Bobby will

188
00:09:48.440 --> 00:09:49.399
<v Speaker 6>start tomorrow.

189
00:09:49.480 --> 00:09:53.039
<v Speaker 2>All right, there's Dave Roberts, so we can exhale a

190
00:09:53.080 --> 00:09:56.200
<v Speaker 2>little bit for the news that we just found out

191
00:09:56.200 --> 00:10:01.240
<v Speaker 2>from Dave Roberts about Tyler Glass. Now, it started after

192
00:10:01.279 --> 00:10:04.000
<v Speaker 2>a bullpen session and then playing catch here during the

193
00:10:04.000 --> 00:10:06.799
<v Speaker 2>week in between starts. He was scheduled to start tomorrow

194
00:10:06.799 --> 00:10:07.320
<v Speaker 2>there in St.

195
00:10:07.399 --> 00:10:07.759
<v Speaker 3>Louis.

196
00:10:08.279 --> 00:10:13.440
<v Speaker 2>Mri showed no structural damage, just tendonitis. That is good news,

197
00:10:13.840 --> 00:10:15.679
<v Speaker 2>but still something you want to keep an eye on.

198
00:10:15.720 --> 00:10:20.039
<v Speaker 2>As he said that Tyler fought to try and pitch tomorrow,

199
00:10:20.279 --> 00:10:22.200
<v Speaker 2>but they didn't want to.

200
00:10:22.120 --> 00:10:22.919
<v Speaker 3>Take that risk.

201
00:10:23.000 --> 00:10:25.480
<v Speaker 2>And I don't blame him if you need to shut

202
00:10:25.519 --> 00:10:28.559
<v Speaker 2>him down for fifteen days. And I read into that

203
00:10:28.559 --> 00:10:30.840
<v Speaker 2>that sounds like it's probably gonna be the extent of it.

204
00:10:31.240 --> 00:10:35.039
<v Speaker 2>Fifteen days on the il miss two turns through the rotation,

205
00:10:35.679 --> 00:10:38.600
<v Speaker 2>let him heal, let him get right, let the elbow

206
00:10:38.639 --> 00:10:41.879
<v Speaker 2>stop barking, the inflammation go down, and get ready for

207
00:10:41.960 --> 00:10:44.519
<v Speaker 2>the stretch run. Nothing wrong with that. Certainly, when you

208
00:10:44.519 --> 00:10:47.159
<v Speaker 2>have a three game lead in the division, it's a

209
00:10:47.639 --> 00:10:49.519
<v Speaker 2>little it's not great timing.

210
00:10:49.600 --> 00:10:50.519
<v Speaker 3>Let's be honest with you.

211
00:10:50.960 --> 00:10:53.000
<v Speaker 2>If this were a Dodger team that was nine and

212
00:10:53.000 --> 00:10:54.840
<v Speaker 2>a half games up in the division, they had some

213
00:10:54.919 --> 00:10:57.440
<v Speaker 2>cushion there, I'd feel a lot better giving him some

214
00:10:57.480 --> 00:11:00.360
<v Speaker 2>time off to rest and get that elbow for the

215
00:11:00.399 --> 00:11:02.919
<v Speaker 2>stretch run in October. But you gotta do what you

216
00:11:02.960 --> 00:11:04.360
<v Speaker 2>gotta do, whether you got a nine and a half

217
00:11:04.440 --> 00:11:06.120
<v Speaker 2>game lead or you got a three game lead in

218
00:11:06.120 --> 00:11:08.240
<v Speaker 2>the division. If that elbow's not right, he's got some

219
00:11:08.279 --> 00:11:11.360
<v Speaker 2>tendonitis in there. You got to get the inflammation down. Thankfully,

220
00:11:11.399 --> 00:11:14.679
<v Speaker 2>as doc said, no structural damage. So they will put

221
00:11:14.720 --> 00:11:16.879
<v Speaker 2>him on the fifteen day IL and it sounds like

222
00:11:16.879 --> 00:11:19.559
<v Speaker 2>he'll be ready to go when that fifteen day stint

223
00:11:19.720 --> 00:11:23.679
<v Speaker 2>is over. So whew, some good news finally on the

224
00:11:23.720 --> 00:11:27.320
<v Speaker 2>injury front. You'd rather have no injuries, obviously, but if

225
00:11:27.360 --> 00:11:30.360
<v Speaker 2>that's the results of the MRI and test done on

226
00:11:30.480 --> 00:11:34.679
<v Speaker 2>Tyler Glass, now that is certainly good news. So Bobby

227
00:11:34.720 --> 00:11:37.600
<v Speaker 2>Miller gets to start tomorrow. Hey, let's hope Bobby Miller

228
00:11:37.639 --> 00:11:40.919
<v Speaker 2>can come out and figure out whatever his problem has been,

229
00:11:41.320 --> 00:11:47.320
<v Speaker 2>whether it's mechanics or between the years or whatever. He's

230
00:11:47.320 --> 00:11:49.799
<v Speaker 2>physically right or else he wouldn't be out there. But

231
00:11:50.320 --> 00:11:52.000
<v Speaker 2>let's hope he can go back out there and get

232
00:11:52.039 --> 00:11:54.120
<v Speaker 2>back to that level that Bobby Miller was pitching out

233
00:11:54.159 --> 00:11:54.639
<v Speaker 2>a year ago.

234
00:11:55.000 --> 00:11:55.879
<v Speaker 3>How great would that be?

235
00:11:55.919 --> 00:11:57.399
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I'm rooting for that young man to go

236
00:11:57.480 --> 00:11:58.960
<v Speaker 2>back out there and figure it out again.

237
00:11:59.320 --> 00:12:01.080
<v Speaker 3>He's got all the talent in the world.

238
00:12:01.399 --> 00:12:03.159
<v Speaker 2>He just needs to go out there and, you know,

239
00:12:03.279 --> 00:12:06.159
<v Speaker 2>start pitching and just stop throwing one hundred miles an

240
00:12:06.159 --> 00:12:07.759
<v Speaker 2>hour all the time and try to blow gas by

241
00:12:07.840 --> 00:12:09.320
<v Speaker 2>guys lost his command.

242
00:12:09.559 --> 00:12:10.279
<v Speaker 3>Start going out.

243
00:12:10.200 --> 00:12:12.799
<v Speaker 2>And pitching, mixing it up and being more consistent with

244
00:12:12.840 --> 00:12:15.200
<v Speaker 2>your pitches. And if he can figure it out, which

245
00:12:15.240 --> 00:12:17.240
<v Speaker 2>a lot of young pitchers they come in, they ask

246
00:12:17.320 --> 00:12:19.440
<v Speaker 2>him success with the fastball. When the league catches up

247
00:12:19.440 --> 00:12:21.919
<v Speaker 2>to it figures you out. You have to adjust. And

248
00:12:21.960 --> 00:12:25.879
<v Speaker 2>Bobby Miller's have trouble adjusting here in his second year

249
00:12:25.919 --> 00:12:27.519
<v Speaker 2>in the big leagues, and that's why he's been up

250
00:12:27.559 --> 00:12:29.799
<v Speaker 2>and down with the Dodgers. And hopefully, you know, he

251
00:12:29.840 --> 00:12:31.200
<v Speaker 2>didn't go back down to Triple A and all of

252
00:12:31.240 --> 00:12:33.799
<v Speaker 2>a sudden there's rave reviews and oh my gosh, he's

253
00:12:33.799 --> 00:12:36.200
<v Speaker 2>figured it out. There was a mechanical issue. They fix this,

254
00:12:36.320 --> 00:12:39.159
<v Speaker 2>They fix that. He's ready to go. It just hasn't

255
00:12:39.159 --> 00:12:41.240
<v Speaker 2>been the case in his three starts down in the

256
00:12:41.240 --> 00:12:43.080
<v Speaker 2>minor leagues. I told you what he's done in Triple A.

257
00:12:43.360 --> 00:12:46.240
<v Speaker 2>He's allowed nine runs, eleven walks in thirteen innings in

258
00:12:46.279 --> 00:12:49.480
<v Speaker 2>three starts down in Triple A, Oklahoma. See those aren't

259
00:12:49.559 --> 00:12:53.200
<v Speaker 2>great numbers. That is somebody still trying to work through

260
00:12:53.639 --> 00:12:56.759
<v Speaker 2>whatever he has going on. So let's hope he can

261
00:12:56.799 --> 00:12:59.399
<v Speaker 2>come back tomorrow and get going in the right direction

262
00:12:59.480 --> 00:13:02.559
<v Speaker 2>and help out the Dodgers team because they need starting

263
00:13:02.600 --> 00:13:06.919
<v Speaker 2>pitching to go deep. Justin Robleski went five innings today.

264
00:13:07.159 --> 00:13:09.639
<v Speaker 2>He got hit around a little bit, wasn't pretty. He

265
00:13:09.720 --> 00:13:12.279
<v Speaker 2>got the win, and the Dodger's bullpen had to cover

266
00:13:12.480 --> 00:13:14.240
<v Speaker 2>for four innings and get twelve outs.

267
00:13:14.279 --> 00:13:14.519
<v Speaker 3>Again.

268
00:13:15.200 --> 00:13:17.639
<v Speaker 2>They can't keep doing this, Dodger fans. We talked about

269
00:13:17.679 --> 00:13:21.399
<v Speaker 2>it yesterday, the need for starting pitching to go six

270
00:13:22.240 --> 00:13:25.159
<v Speaker 2>and to help out the bullpen and take some pressure

271
00:13:25.720 --> 00:13:29.279
<v Speaker 2>and strain off of the arms down the bullpen because

272
00:13:29.320 --> 00:13:33.159
<v Speaker 2>they are getting worked and they are getting a lot

273
00:13:33.200 --> 00:13:36.639
<v Speaker 2>of innings on their belts this year and that needs

274
00:13:36.639 --> 00:13:38.519
<v Speaker 2>to change here. If these guys want to be healthy,

275
00:13:38.559 --> 00:13:42.759
<v Speaker 2>ready to go and have somewhat fresh arms in October

276
00:13:42.799 --> 00:13:44.799
<v Speaker 2>eight six, six ninety seven to two five, say we'll

277
00:13:44.799 --> 00:13:46.879
<v Speaker 2>take a break, we'll come back. We'll get to your phone.

278
00:13:46.879 --> 00:13:49.360
<v Speaker 2>Calls you hear from Dave Roberts I el sent for

279
00:13:49.399 --> 00:13:53.120
<v Speaker 2>Tyler Glass. Now the tendonitis, that's the extent of it.

280
00:13:53.519 --> 00:13:55.840
<v Speaker 2>That is good, and they hope to have him back

281
00:13:56.200 --> 00:13:59.639
<v Speaker 2>when the fifteen days are over rested and ready to go.

282
00:14:00.039 --> 00:14:01.799
<v Speaker 3>Eight ninety seven two.

283
00:14:01.639 --> 00:14:05.200

296
00:14:38.600 --> 00:14:41.559
<v Speaker 6>In a high fly ball right center, it's deep, it's

297
00:14:41.559 --> 00:14:43.440
<v Speaker 6>headed back, it has gone.

298
00:14:43.559 --> 00:14:48.639
<v Speaker 4>It's a three run home run for Kevin deer myre Oh, how.

299
00:14:48.559 --> 00:14:49.399
<v Speaker 3>Do you like that?

300
00:14:50.919 --> 00:14:55.120
<v Speaker 2>Kevin Kiermier goes deep, three run home run, Mookie Betts

301
00:14:55.159 --> 00:14:58.480
<v Speaker 2>goes deep, Gavin Lux goes deep. The Dodgers hit three

302

312
00:15:27.600 --> 00:15:30.600
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers win and get some good news. Nothing and hopefully

313
00:15:30.639 --> 00:15:31.879
<v Speaker 2>nothing's affair with Justin.

314
00:15:32.159 --> 00:15:35.279
<v Speaker 8>Go ahead, Justin, Hey, that does makes you think of

315
00:15:35.279 --> 00:15:35.600
<v Speaker 8>my call?

316
00:15:35.720 --> 00:15:37.840
<v Speaker 4>You know what, listen, it's good to get to win.

317
00:15:38.120 --> 00:15:40.559
<v Speaker 4>I mean it is being as you as we all know,

318
00:15:41.120 --> 00:15:41.799
<v Speaker 4>a rough.

319
00:15:41.639 --> 00:15:44.840
<v Speaker 8>Week with all the injuries that we're still sustaining.

320
00:15:45.919 --> 00:15:47.600
<v Speaker 4>As you probably also know, the.

321
00:15:47.600 --> 00:15:51.399
<v Speaker 8>Dodgers a number one team in MLB as the most

322
00:15:51.519 --> 00:15:56.039
<v Speaker 8>injured team in baseball. We lost our number three top

323
00:15:56.080 --> 00:15:57.720
<v Speaker 8>prowest pit pitching prospect.

324
00:15:58.039 --> 00:16:00.200
<v Speaker 9>We're losing our eighth in pitching.

325
00:16:00.480 --> 00:16:01.799
<v Speaker 4>And I called last week.

326
00:16:01.639 --> 00:16:03.519
<v Speaker 8>And mentioned Thomas Albert on.

327
00:16:03.519 --> 00:16:04.559
<v Speaker 4>The training staff.

328
00:16:05.080 --> 00:16:07.399
<v Speaker 8>And it's not just me. If you go out of

329
00:16:07.480 --> 00:16:11.000
<v Speaker 8>a social media of own, many many Dodgers fans, this

330
00:16:11.200 --> 00:16:14.679
<v Speaker 8>training staff has a big problem. And I'm grateful that

331
00:16:14.759 --> 00:16:17.759
<v Speaker 8>glasnow only has ten to nights, but I gotta say,

332
00:16:17.759 --> 00:16:20.200
<v Speaker 8>we need somebody else to be keeping his eyes on him.

333
00:16:20.399 --> 00:16:22.279
<v Speaker 8>As you all know, he has a tendencies, he's at

334
00:16:22.279 --> 00:16:25.200
<v Speaker 8>his top amount pitch load, and it's just like it's

335
00:16:25.200 --> 00:16:28.080
<v Speaker 8>the biggest failure we have with his team.

336
00:16:28.279 --> 00:16:29.960
<v Speaker 2>Well, I'm going to stop you right there, justin I

337
00:16:29.960 --> 00:16:35.159
<v Speaker 2>appreciate the phone call. If if this Dodger pitching staff, starters,

338
00:16:35.320 --> 00:16:42.720
<v Speaker 2>relievers all had elbow or shoulder injuries, I would be

339
00:16:42.879 --> 00:16:47.279
<v Speaker 2>right there with you saying, hmm, what's going on? Why

340
00:16:47.320 --> 00:16:52.679
<v Speaker 2>are so many Dodger pitchers getting hit with arm injuries?

341
00:16:53.399 --> 00:17:00.879
<v Speaker 2>But we've seen calf injuries, the abductor injuries, hamstrings, ribs.

342
00:17:02.399 --> 00:17:04.279
<v Speaker 3>It's more than just shoulder and elbow.

343
00:17:04.720 --> 00:17:08.960
<v Speaker 2>And it's in the guys who are getting affected by soreness, tendonitis,

344
00:17:09.960 --> 00:17:14.119
<v Speaker 2>forearm strains. Eventually Tommy John surgery. That's part of the game.

345
00:17:15.240 --> 00:17:18.400
<v Speaker 2>It is we're caught in the world that this is

346
00:17:18.440 --> 00:17:23.279
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers, but this is happening across baseball, Dodger pitchers

347
00:17:23.279 --> 00:17:27.160
<v Speaker 2>getting hit or Majorlely pitchers getting hit with injuries to

348
00:17:27.319 --> 00:17:32.240
<v Speaker 2>elbows and shoulders. But keep in mind, not everything is

349
00:17:32.279 --> 00:17:40.720
<v Speaker 2>an arm and shoulder issue. Brasier Grattarol trying, calf injuries,

350
00:17:41.440 --> 00:17:45.440
<v Speaker 2>hamstring injuries, so it's not just always the arm and shoulder.

351
00:17:45.440 --> 00:17:47.720
<v Speaker 2>And I'm not gonna sit and start pointing fingers at it.

352
00:17:47.720 --> 00:17:51.359
<v Speaker 2>It's an epidemic in baseball and it's happening more and

353
00:17:51.440 --> 00:17:54.400
<v Speaker 2>getting magnified now more because people want to blame it

354
00:17:54.440 --> 00:17:57.240
<v Speaker 2>on something, and if they're not blaming training stats, which

355
00:17:57.279 --> 00:18:02.720
<v Speaker 2>is ridiculous, we're blaming the pitch claw and maybe speeding

356
00:18:02.799 --> 00:18:05.319
<v Speaker 2>up guys and not letting them take forty five seconds

357
00:18:05.319 --> 00:18:10.240
<v Speaker 2>in between pitches is an inconvenience and is forcing these

358
00:18:10.240 --> 00:18:13.799
<v Speaker 2>guys to work quicker. But also there's a problem at

359
00:18:13.799 --> 00:18:16.200
<v Speaker 2>the lower level. And I'm gonna give you a prime example.

360
00:18:16.880 --> 00:18:22.319
<v Speaker 2>Somebody on social media this last weekend retweeted like under thirteen,

361
00:18:22.720 --> 00:18:26.759
<v Speaker 2>under fifteen, these national teams being put together and these

362
00:18:26.880 --> 00:18:29.960
<v Speaker 2>peage what is a perfect game is one of these

363
00:18:30.000 --> 00:18:32.839
<v Speaker 2>But they wasn't from them, It was from a different outlet,

364
00:18:32.960 --> 00:18:37.039
<v Speaker 2>and it was the top performers at this tournament over

365
00:18:37.079 --> 00:18:41.599
<v Speaker 2>the weekend, and it talked about what they did, and

366
00:18:41.640 --> 00:18:44.680
<v Speaker 2>it also had a stat about the hardest throwing like

367
00:18:44.880 --> 00:18:48.599
<v Speaker 2>under fifteen kid at the tournament. It broke down how

368
00:18:48.599 --> 00:18:51.680
<v Speaker 2>hard they were throwing miles per hour. What what are

369
00:18:51.720 --> 00:18:55.559
<v Speaker 2>we doing this? This is the problem. One of them,

370
00:18:55.599 --> 00:18:58.359
<v Speaker 2>I think is I'm watching MLB right network. Right now,

371
00:18:58.359 --> 00:19:02.039
<v Speaker 2>they're showing the hardest throw in baseball, Ben Joyce right

372
00:19:02.119 --> 00:19:04.599
<v Speaker 2>of the Angels. He just threw a pitch. They're showing

373
00:19:04.599 --> 00:19:06.960
<v Speaker 2>one hundred and four point seven miles per hour. They

374
00:19:07.119 --> 00:19:09.720
<v Speaker 2>just sold a Raalda's Chapman I believe right before that

375
00:19:09.880 --> 00:19:12.559
<v Speaker 2>at one hundred and five miles an hour. This is

376
00:19:12.599 --> 00:19:16.440
<v Speaker 2>what we're glorifying. Here is how hard you can throw.

377
00:19:17.119 --> 00:19:21.200
<v Speaker 2>And it's getting down to under thirteen teams, under fifteen teams.

378
00:19:21.400 --> 00:19:22.200
<v Speaker 3>We certainly see it.

379
00:19:22.160 --> 00:19:24.759
<v Speaker 2>At the high school level, how hard you can throw.

380
00:19:25.039 --> 00:19:28.759
<v Speaker 2>This is what the problem is. Guys are throwers nowadays

381
00:19:28.799 --> 00:19:32.359
<v Speaker 2>in baseball. You are taught to throw hard. You are

382
00:19:32.440 --> 00:19:36.359
<v Speaker 2>taught to be a chucker out there. You're not taught

383
00:19:36.400 --> 00:19:39.119
<v Speaker 2>how to pitch. You're not taught how to pitch backwards

384
00:19:39.240 --> 00:19:41.519
<v Speaker 2>in account, you're not taught how to use your ospeed

385
00:19:41.599 --> 00:19:44.319
<v Speaker 2>pitch first to lead off in a bat. You're not

386
00:19:44.400 --> 00:19:47.359
<v Speaker 2>taught how to mix it in and out. You're taught

387
00:19:47.359 --> 00:19:50.039
<v Speaker 2>at the young age, how fast can you throw? Let

388
00:19:50.160 --> 00:19:53.640
<v Speaker 2>spotlight this kid for throwing seventy nine miles an hour

389
00:19:53.720 --> 00:19:54.680
<v Speaker 2>at the age of twelve.

390
00:19:55.599 --> 00:19:57.200
<v Speaker 3>Watch the Little League World Series.

391
00:19:57.640 --> 00:20:00.319
<v Speaker 2>There was a kid from one of the international teams

392
00:20:00.359 --> 00:20:03.720
<v Speaker 2>I believe, I think it might've been Puerto Rico that

393
00:20:03.720 --> 00:20:06.720
<v Speaker 2>they were talking about. His fastball at the Little League

394
00:20:06.759 --> 00:20:09.880
<v Speaker 2>World Series happen right now, clocked in at like seventy

395
00:20:09.920 --> 00:20:13.720
<v Speaker 2>two miles an hour, which is the equivalent at sixty

396
00:20:13.759 --> 00:20:17.359
<v Speaker 2>feet six inches of like one hundred and four or whatever,

397
00:20:17.359 --> 00:20:20.000
<v Speaker 2>one hundred and three something like that. That's what they're

398
00:20:20.039 --> 00:20:23.240
<v Speaker 2>focusing on, not the kid who goes out there and

399
00:20:23.279 --> 00:20:27.799
<v Speaker 2>pitched five innings and allowed two hits and got nine

400
00:20:27.839 --> 00:20:31.519
<v Speaker 2>ground balls and doesn't throw one hundred miles an hour equivalent,

401
00:20:32.480 --> 00:20:34.960
<v Speaker 2>because that's not what we want to see on you know,

402
00:20:35.119 --> 00:20:36.519
<v Speaker 2>social media.

403
00:20:36.839 --> 00:20:37.880
<v Speaker 3>That's the problem.

404
00:20:38.240 --> 00:20:40.680
<v Speaker 2>All right, I'm not gonna say your point fingers at

405
00:20:40.680 --> 00:20:43.799
<v Speaker 2>anything else that right, there's the start of it, and

406
00:20:43.839 --> 00:20:47.160
<v Speaker 2>there may be tentacles kind of leaning out other issues.

407
00:20:47.240 --> 00:20:49.480
<v Speaker 2>As far as why all the rats of injuries, certainly,

408
00:20:50.440 --> 00:20:53.559
<v Speaker 2>but it starts right there. That's where you can just

409
00:20:53.599 --> 00:20:57.440
<v Speaker 2>start the focus, I believe with all these arm injuries,

410
00:20:59.319 --> 00:21:02.400
<v Speaker 2>as somebody who has seen it years ago, continues to

411
00:21:02.519 --> 00:21:07.920
<v Speaker 2>follow high school baseball here in southern California and watching

412
00:21:07.960 --> 00:21:10.599
<v Speaker 2>these kids and their arm injuries at a young age.

413
00:21:11.359 --> 00:21:13.240
<v Speaker 2>You know a lot of you have kids out there

414
00:21:13.279 --> 00:21:17.400
<v Speaker 2>baseball and coach or you're watching your kids go through

415
00:21:17.400 --> 00:21:20.480
<v Speaker 2>all this travel ball and you know, going across the

416
00:21:20.519 --> 00:21:21.680
<v Speaker 2>country playing tournaments.

417
00:21:21.759 --> 00:21:23.720
<v Speaker 3>That's all they do every weekend.

418
00:21:23.720 --> 00:21:26.000
<v Speaker 2>They go to Arizona or they go out to Palm

419
00:21:26.039 --> 00:21:29.640
<v Speaker 2>Springs or a Covina Complex or Corona and playing tournaments

420
00:21:29.640 --> 00:21:32.279
<v Speaker 2>three games in a weekend and pitch every weekend order

421
00:21:32.319 --> 00:21:34.240
<v Speaker 2>those games. And they're pitching for their high school team,

422
00:21:34.240 --> 00:21:37.759
<v Speaker 2>pitching for their whatever team the area code teams. Now

423
00:21:37.799 --> 00:21:41.599
<v Speaker 2>in the summertime, it's it's NonStop. So not to get

424
00:21:41.599 --> 00:21:43.640
<v Speaker 2>on a rant there, but he got me going. As

425
00:21:43.640 --> 00:21:46.720
<v Speaker 2>far as we're not pointing the finger at training staffs

426
00:21:46.720 --> 00:21:49.599
<v Speaker 2>at the major league level, you think they wanted their

427
00:21:49.880 --> 00:21:53.640
<v Speaker 2>their property. That's what they are that this is their investment.

428
00:21:54.839 --> 00:21:59.920
<v Speaker 2>You know, you're paying these players millions of dollars as investment.

429
00:22:01.119 --> 00:22:03.880
<v Speaker 2>Are you gonna go in your car that you invested

430
00:22:03.960 --> 00:22:05.799
<v Speaker 2>and paid a lot of money for. Are you gonna

431
00:22:05.839 --> 00:22:08.599
<v Speaker 2>go and try to get it to not run? Are

432
00:22:08.599 --> 00:22:11.920
<v Speaker 2>you gonna try to put diesel in in a in

433
00:22:11.960 --> 00:22:14.799
<v Speaker 2>an engine and know that it's gonna completely destroy the

434
00:22:14.839 --> 00:22:16.680
<v Speaker 2>engine just so what it could go faster?

435
00:22:16.799 --> 00:22:17.440
<v Speaker 3>For a second?

436
00:22:17.759 --> 00:22:20.559
<v Speaker 2>Are you gonna try to spruce up your car knowing

437
00:22:20.599 --> 00:22:22.240
<v Speaker 2>that you're gonna get a bunch of tickets or something's

438
00:22:22.240 --> 00:22:24.720
<v Speaker 2>gonna go wrong. It's not right? Why that's that's the

439
00:22:24.759 --> 00:22:27.359
<v Speaker 2>same thing. You're gonna invest in one hundred million dollars

440
00:22:27.400 --> 00:22:29.559
<v Speaker 2>in a picture. You're gonna invest three hundred million dollars

441
00:22:29.640 --> 00:22:31.960
<v Speaker 2>in a picture and want them to get hurt.

442
00:22:32.440 --> 00:22:34.200
<v Speaker 3>Why do you think they'd limit pitchings.

443
00:22:34.400 --> 00:22:36.839
<v Speaker 2>Why do you think they have video cameras and stats

444
00:22:36.839 --> 00:22:40.240
<v Speaker 2>and three D graphics and all this analytics on every

445
00:22:40.240 --> 00:22:43.640
<v Speaker 2>spin rate? Why do you think they have all this

446
00:22:43.720 --> 00:22:48.960
<v Speaker 2>so they can monitor and best keep an eye on

447
00:22:49.039 --> 00:22:56.200
<v Speaker 2>preventing injuries and best maximize their investments, but not hurt them.

448
00:22:56.519 --> 00:23:00.240
<v Speaker 2>So to say, athletic training staffs in any sport want

449
00:23:00.279 --> 00:23:06.640
<v Speaker 2>their players and push their players to get hurt is asenine.

450
00:23:07.880 --> 00:23:11.519
<v Speaker 2>It's just that that's that's completely asinine. Why would they

451
00:23:11.559 --> 00:23:15.440
<v Speaker 2>do that. It's an investment. You want the investment for

452
00:23:15.480 --> 00:23:18.000
<v Speaker 2>the short term and the long term. I'm not gonna

453
00:23:18.000 --> 00:23:20.519
<v Speaker 2>push somebody so up. Hey, all right, sorry about that, Colin.

454
00:23:20.640 --> 00:23:24.240
<v Speaker 2>Ye we workeship too hard. Tommy John surgery seeing eighteen months,

455
00:23:24.279 --> 00:23:26.720
<v Speaker 2>young man, what does that do for the team. You

456
00:23:26.839 --> 00:23:30.759
<v Speaker 2>just lost the guy for eighteen months. Come on, that's

457
00:23:30.799 --> 00:23:34.200
<v Speaker 2>not the answer that. That's not what's happening. It's an

458
00:23:34.200 --> 00:23:36.680
<v Speaker 2>epidemic in baseball. It goes to the youth. It talks

459
00:23:36.720 --> 00:23:39.200
<v Speaker 2>about it's all about, like I just said for the

460
00:23:39.279 --> 00:23:43.119
<v Speaker 2>last ten minutes, it's all about teaching kids to throw

461
00:23:43.599 --> 00:23:46.480
<v Speaker 2>as hard as they can and do it all the time,

462
00:23:47.000 --> 00:23:48.920
<v Speaker 2>and throw their arms out and put that straight ut

463
00:23:48.920 --> 00:23:51.920
<v Speaker 2>of their arms at such a young age. That's the problem.

464
00:23:52.000 --> 00:23:55.240
<v Speaker 2>Eight sixty six, nine eighty seven, two five seventy. Sorry

465
00:23:55.279 --> 00:23:56.680
<v Speaker 2>to go on a rant there, but the more and

466
00:23:56.720 --> 00:24:00.759
<v Speaker 2>more I thought about that, come on, come on, Mike Irwindale,

467
00:24:01.160 --> 00:24:03.319
<v Speaker 2>Mike your next up on Dodger Talk. Dodgers beat the

468
00:24:03.359 --> 00:24:05.640
<v Speaker 2>Cardinals seven to six. They pick a game up on

469
00:24:05.680 --> 00:24:08.039
<v Speaker 2>the Diamondbacks in the padres so both lost the night

470
00:24:08.240 --> 00:24:09.799
<v Speaker 2>for the first time since July twenty eighth.

471
00:24:09.839 --> 00:24:12.480
<v Speaker 4>Go ahead, Mike, Yeah, that's great.

472
00:24:12.680 --> 00:24:16.240
<v Speaker 1>Uh finally, but is it time this to flip flop

473
00:24:16.400 --> 00:24:18.359
<v Speaker 1>Mookie back to the light spot?

474
00:24:19.480 --> 00:24:21.920
<v Speaker 2>It's Uh, it's something that they should maybe start thinking

475
00:24:21.920 --> 00:24:24.599
<v Speaker 2>about because you look at the production or lock thereof

476
00:24:24.599 --> 00:24:29.119
<v Speaker 2>from mister shohey Otani. You gotta wonder if maybe it

477
00:24:29.240 --> 00:24:31.400
<v Speaker 2>changes is something that would be good for him, because

478
00:24:31.440 --> 00:24:34.160
<v Speaker 2>what did he go again tonight? U zero for five

479
00:24:34.359 --> 00:24:37.119
<v Speaker 2>with two punch outs. He's now hitting closer to two

480
00:24:37.200 --> 00:24:38.400
<v Speaker 2>ninety than he is three hundred.

481
00:24:40.000 --> 00:24:42.279
<v Speaker 9>And then as much as I'm pulling, we know Bobby

482
00:24:42.279 --> 00:24:44.920
<v Speaker 9>Miller is going to be great eventually. But was there

483
00:24:44.920 --> 00:24:46.799
<v Speaker 9>a reason maybe they should have called up land and

484
00:24:46.839 --> 00:24:47.559
<v Speaker 9>Knack back up.

485
00:24:48.359 --> 00:24:48.480
<v Speaker 7>Uh?

486
00:24:48.519 --> 00:24:50.039
<v Speaker 3>I don't think they could. They Well, I appreciate the

487
00:24:50.079 --> 00:24:50.640
<v Speaker 3>phone call, Mike.

488
00:24:50.640 --> 00:24:54.359
<v Speaker 2>They couldn't call Landing NAC backup, Uh, because well it's

489
00:24:54.359 --> 00:24:56.839
<v Speaker 2>because of injuries. I guess you could call person back up,

490
00:24:57.119 --> 00:24:59.799
<v Speaker 2>but no, he got sent back down, so he has

491
00:24:59.920 --> 00:25:02.519
<v Speaker 2>to weight to come back up. Bobby Miller Also, he

492
00:25:02.559 --> 00:25:05.279
<v Speaker 2>could just pitch two days ago, so he couldn't pitch tomorrow.

493
00:25:05.359 --> 00:25:06.480
<v Speaker 3>So there's the real reason.

494
00:25:06.839 --> 00:25:10.119
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, Bobby Miller was supposed to pitch last night

495
00:25:10.160 --> 00:25:12.799
<v Speaker 2>for Oklahoma City. It had been his fourth start since

496
00:25:12.799 --> 00:25:14.920
<v Speaker 2>he got option back down again. He's battled through a

497
00:25:14.920 --> 00:25:17.200
<v Speaker 2>little bit of an abductor issue and was shut down

498
00:25:17.279 --> 00:25:19.599
<v Speaker 2>for a brief amount of time, and his come back,

499
00:25:19.599 --> 00:25:21.799
<v Speaker 2>we're playing the training staff on his adductor issue. I mean,

500
00:25:21.799 --> 00:25:24.680
<v Speaker 2>come on, But I think more for Bobby Miller, it's

501
00:25:24.759 --> 00:25:28.720
<v Speaker 2>him fine tuning himself as the pitcher. The guy can

502
00:25:28.759 --> 00:25:31.799
<v Speaker 2>blow gas, he can throw ninety eight, ninety nine, one hundred,

503
00:25:32.519 --> 00:25:36.440
<v Speaker 2>but he needs to figure out how to hone in

504
00:25:36.519 --> 00:25:41.200
<v Speaker 2>that fastball, inside out, work in his offspeed pitches and

505
00:25:41.519 --> 00:25:44.440
<v Speaker 2>become more of a pitcher if you understand.

506
00:25:44.039 --> 00:25:44.599
<v Speaker 3>What that means.

507
00:25:44.920 --> 00:25:48.240
<v Speaker 2>Somebody can go out there, get out, get contact, but

508
00:25:48.359 --> 00:25:51.319
<v Speaker 2>the contact is to guys ground balls, fly balls, and

509
00:25:51.359 --> 00:25:54.720
<v Speaker 2>get swinging. Missus and Bobby Miller this year is just

510
00:25:54.759 --> 00:25:56.799
<v Speaker 2>not getting that done at the major league level.

511
00:25:56.799 --> 00:25:57.039
<v Speaker 6>Now.

512
00:25:57.119 --> 00:26:01.319
<v Speaker 2>Hopefully whatever he's been working on that hasn't necessarily showed

513
00:26:01.359 --> 00:26:03.960
<v Speaker 2>results in TRIPAA the last three audience that he's had,

514
00:26:04.519 --> 00:26:07.079
<v Speaker 2>Hopefully something clicks and something changes tomorrow, and the Dodgers

515
00:26:07.119 --> 00:26:09.640
<v Speaker 2>certainly need that. They can't afford to have another outing

516
00:26:09.640 --> 00:26:12.559
<v Speaker 2>tomorrow where a starter goes three and two thirds. They

517
00:26:12.640 --> 00:26:14.759
<v Speaker 2>just can't. They need Bobby Miller to go out there

518
00:26:14.799 --> 00:26:17.079
<v Speaker 2>and be a dog. They need Bobby Miller to go

519
00:26:17.119 --> 00:26:20.039
<v Speaker 2>out there and he's got what the lion and the

520
00:26:20.079 --> 00:26:22.599
<v Speaker 2>tiger or whatever it is on the chest. They need

521
00:26:22.680 --> 00:26:27.599
<v Speaker 2>him to to find that inner tiger and lion and

522
00:26:28.400 --> 00:26:31.440
<v Speaker 2>get after it tomorrow on the mound and just be

523
00:26:31.559 --> 00:26:35.240
<v Speaker 2>relentless and go out there and deal and give them

524
00:26:35.279 --> 00:26:37.279
<v Speaker 2>six innings and they'll let the bullpen get the final

525
00:26:37.359 --> 00:26:38.200
<v Speaker 2>nine outs or whatever.

526
00:26:38.440 --> 00:26:40.440
<v Speaker 3>John, and Woodland Hills is next up here on Dodge Talk.

527
00:26:40.480 --> 00:26:41.119
<v Speaker 3>How you doing, John?

528
00:26:42.640 --> 00:26:47.319
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, I have to tell you the other night. The

529
00:26:47.400 --> 00:26:52.400
<v Speaker 9>other night you had Eric on, and Eric said that

530
00:26:52.440 --> 00:26:54.880
<v Speaker 9>it was a shoe in that the Dodgers were going

531
00:26:54.960 --> 00:26:56.079
<v Speaker 9>to win the division.

532
00:26:56.119 --> 00:26:56.279
<v Speaker 4>OK.

533
00:26:57.200 --> 00:27:02.200
<v Speaker 9>And he's not only wrong, he does not understand what

534
00:27:02.400 --> 00:27:07.119
<v Speaker 9>baseball is about. Baseball is about runs. Who scores the

535
00:27:07.119 --> 00:27:10.680
<v Speaker 9>most runs. Tonight was a lucky victory for the Dodgers.

536
00:27:10.960 --> 00:27:14.039
<v Speaker 9>They were lucky to escape with a seven to sixth victory.

537
00:27:14.640 --> 00:27:17.559
<v Speaker 9>And the fact that Tyler Glasna, who's been terrible the

538
00:27:17.640 --> 00:27:21.400
<v Speaker 9>last two months, is now on the DL on the

539
00:27:21.440 --> 00:27:25.680
<v Speaker 9>il for fifteen days. That's bs because we know that

540
00:27:25.799 --> 00:27:28.839
<v Speaker 9>he's not been right for two months. We've been watching

541
00:27:28.960 --> 00:27:31.880
<v Speaker 9>him for two months and knowing that he's not strike,

542
00:27:32.319 --> 00:27:34.480
<v Speaker 9>he has not gotten out of innings the way that

543
00:27:34.519 --> 00:27:37.039
<v Speaker 9>he used to get out of innings. So we know

544
00:27:37.119 --> 00:27:40.200
<v Speaker 9>that the pitching staff is in shambles. We know that

545
00:27:40.279 --> 00:27:44.319
<v Speaker 9>Shohy should not be batting one. He should be batting three,

546
00:27:44.599 --> 00:27:47.160
<v Speaker 9>four or seven in the lineup. I want to look

547
00:27:47.200 --> 00:27:52.000
<v Speaker 9>at Julio Rodriguez. Julio Rodriguez was in a slump and

548
00:27:52.119 --> 00:27:55.319
<v Speaker 9>Seattle moved him to seventh in the lineup. He was

549
00:27:55.359 --> 00:27:58.440
<v Speaker 9>in seventh in the lineup for three to seven days,

550
00:27:58.720 --> 00:28:01.480
<v Speaker 9>and he broke out of that because they put him

551
00:28:01.480 --> 00:28:04.480
<v Speaker 9>at seventh in the lineup. Then he he unfortunately got

552
00:28:04.559 --> 00:28:07.640
<v Speaker 9>hurt and he couldn't go back to second in the lineup.

553
00:28:07.640 --> 00:28:11.079
<v Speaker 9>But that's beside the point. The point is is that

554
00:28:11.400 --> 00:28:15.680
<v Speaker 9>you have to make adjustments as a manager, and the

555
00:28:15.799 --> 00:28:19.039
<v Speaker 9>Dodgers have not done that. They have not made the

556
00:28:19.079 --> 00:28:23.039
<v Speaker 9>adjustments needed to not only win the division, but to

557
00:28:23.200 --> 00:28:26.240
<v Speaker 9>be a front runner for the World Series. And the

558
00:28:26.279 --> 00:28:29.119
<v Speaker 9>only thing that matters for this Dodgers team and for

559
00:28:29.200 --> 00:28:34.839
<v Speaker 9>the fans is a World Series period, and where is

560
00:28:34.880 --> 00:28:37.480
<v Speaker 9>batting right now? Is not enough?

561
00:28:37.720 --> 00:28:38.920
<v Speaker 3>We'll find out enough.

562
00:28:38.960 --> 00:28:40.720
<v Speaker 2>We'll find out if they tinker with the John I

563
00:28:40.799 --> 00:28:42.559
<v Speaker 2>appreciate it. I'll let you get you what you wanted

564
00:28:42.599 --> 00:28:45.680
<v Speaker 2>to say. I'll push back on the Glass now situation,

565
00:28:46.200 --> 00:28:49.119
<v Speaker 2>Tyler Glass. Now, if he's been hurt and not the

566
00:28:49.160 --> 00:28:51.559
<v Speaker 2>same as you mentioned, I'm gonna go back to his

567
00:28:51.640 --> 00:28:56.319
<v Speaker 2>last start seven innings to earn runs. Start before that

568
00:28:57.240 --> 00:29:00.359
<v Speaker 2>six innings against the Phillies, by the way, picks up win,

569
00:29:00.680 --> 00:29:05.680
<v Speaker 2>goes six innings, allows three runs and at nine punch outs.

570
00:29:06.000 --> 00:29:09.160
<v Speaker 2>Let's go to the start before that against the Padres,

571
00:29:09.559 --> 00:29:15.480
<v Speaker 2>no decision. Seven innings, three runs, eight punch outs. Okay,

572
00:29:16.079 --> 00:29:19.759
<v Speaker 2>his last three starts, he's gone six or seven innings

573
00:29:19.799 --> 00:29:24.039
<v Speaker 2>and loud no more than three ear in runs with

574
00:29:24.160 --> 00:29:28.079
<v Speaker 2>twenty one punch outs. It's pretty good to me. Doesn't

575
00:29:28.079 --> 00:29:31.519
<v Speaker 2>seem like a guy who's lingering, hurt or banged up,

576
00:29:32.079 --> 00:29:35.039
<v Speaker 2>but out there dealing two of those starts against two

577
00:29:35.079 --> 00:29:39.240
<v Speaker 2>of the better teams in baseball. Now with show heo Tani,

578
00:29:40.359 --> 00:29:42.839
<v Speaker 2>they're gonna have to pop to do something and adjust

579
00:29:42.880 --> 00:29:46.440
<v Speaker 2>him in the lineup if he continues to struggle, Show hey,

580
00:29:46.440 --> 00:29:49.880
<v Speaker 2>goes zero for five tonight with two punch outs. Show

581
00:29:49.920 --> 00:29:53.359
<v Speaker 2>he had one hit yesterday he was one for four

582
00:29:53.599 --> 00:29:56.160
<v Speaker 2>or zero for four the day before. He hasn't had

583
00:29:56.200 --> 00:30:01.200
<v Speaker 2>a multi hit game this entire roach. He hasn't had

584
00:30:01.200 --> 00:30:06.119
<v Speaker 2>a multi hit game going back to August fifth against Phillies,

585
00:30:06.920 --> 00:30:10.799
<v Speaker 2>so he's now three series without multi hits. He's of

586
00:30:10.880 --> 00:30:12.680
<v Speaker 2>course hitting his home runs, and he's still in his

587
00:30:12.720 --> 00:30:15.079
<v Speaker 2>stolen bases, and he's gonna be a forty four guy,

588
00:30:15.359 --> 00:30:18.519
<v Speaker 2>and I love that about him. But as a leadoff hitter,

589
00:30:19.359 --> 00:30:22.000
<v Speaker 2>he's coming up five times every game. And that's one

590
00:30:22.000 --> 00:30:24.039
<v Speaker 2>of the things that they mentioned about Sho Heo Tani.

591
00:30:24.079 --> 00:30:27.119
<v Speaker 2>Why do we want him lead off? His power, his speed,

592
00:30:27.160 --> 00:30:29.319
<v Speaker 2>his ability to hit the ball in all parts of

593
00:30:29.319 --> 00:30:31.359
<v Speaker 2>the field, and we want to give him as many

594
00:30:31.359 --> 00:30:34.000
<v Speaker 2>at bats as possible. We want to give him five

595
00:30:34.039 --> 00:30:37.480
<v Speaker 2>at bats. Okay, he's getting five at bats, he's getting

596
00:30:37.519 --> 00:30:41.559
<v Speaker 2>four at the minimum in every game, and he's not

597
00:30:41.599 --> 00:30:44.160
<v Speaker 2>getting on base, and with runners in the scoring position,

598
00:30:44.400 --> 00:30:47.160
<v Speaker 2>he's not producing. Guys in front of him are and

599
00:30:47.240 --> 00:30:50.440
<v Speaker 2>guys behind him are in the lineup. So I'm not

600
00:30:50.519 --> 00:30:55.200
<v Speaker 2>opposed to having show Yo Tani and Mookie Betts flip flop.

601
00:30:55.839 --> 00:30:58.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna pose at all because it worked for the

602
00:30:58.480 --> 00:31:00.240
<v Speaker 2>first I don't know what three and a half once

603
00:31:00.240 --> 00:31:03.759
<v Speaker 2>of the season. But now that show Hey is cooled

604
00:31:03.799 --> 00:31:07.440
<v Speaker 2>off here the last what three series? So the last

605
00:31:07.599 --> 00:31:10.720
<v Speaker 2>nine games, Yeah, I'm okay, and I think show he

606
00:31:10.799 --> 00:31:12.640
<v Speaker 2>will be okay with it. Let's let's move him back

607
00:31:12.640 --> 00:31:15.880
<v Speaker 2>to the two spot. Let's flip flop that there. I'm

608
00:31:15.880 --> 00:31:17.839
<v Speaker 2>all right with it. You still got some time to

609
00:31:17.960 --> 00:31:20.240
<v Speaker 2>get right and get used to that order again, seeing

610
00:31:20.240 --> 00:31:22.119
<v Speaker 2>as you got a month and a half of regular

611
00:31:22.119 --> 00:31:25.799
<v Speaker 2>season to play. So I I pushed back a little

612
00:31:25.839 --> 00:31:29.039
<v Speaker 2>bit with you there, but I understand what you're saying

613
00:31:29.559 --> 00:31:31.599
<v Speaker 2>as far as changing him in the lineup. But certainly

614
00:31:31.680 --> 00:31:34.799
<v Speaker 2>I don't think Tyler Glass now has been been lingering,

615
00:31:35.079 --> 00:31:38.160
<v Speaker 2>as you said the last few starts. The numbers just

616
00:31:38.200 --> 00:31:42.039
<v Speaker 2>don't show that. And I to see his power and

617
00:31:42.200 --> 00:31:44.119
<v Speaker 2>and I should say.

618
00:31:44.039 --> 00:31:44.200
<v Speaker 8>His.

619
00:31:45.839 --> 00:31:48.000
<v Speaker 2>Ability to go out there and want to get the

620
00:31:48.039 --> 00:31:51.640
<v Speaker 2>ball every every time he's out. You don't see him lingering.

621
00:31:52.119 --> 00:31:54.480
<v Speaker 2>You don't see him out there huffing and puffing and

622
00:31:54.519 --> 00:31:57.200
<v Speaker 2>like gas and he's he looks like a guy who

623
00:31:57.240 --> 00:31:59.319
<v Speaker 2>wants to get He wants the ball every time he

624
00:31:59.359 --> 00:32:02.319
<v Speaker 2>gets it, and Dave Roberts said tonight they had to

625
00:32:02.359 --> 00:32:06.119
<v Speaker 2>tell him, no, no, you are not starting tomorrow. We

626
00:32:06.200 --> 00:32:08.400
<v Speaker 2>can't let that happen. As Dave said, he'd be on

627
00:32:08.440 --> 00:32:11.759
<v Speaker 2>pins and needles every pitch he threw, and instead they

628
00:32:11.799 --> 00:32:13.759
<v Speaker 2>had to put him on the injured list. Sometimes you

629
00:32:13.799 --> 00:32:16.920
<v Speaker 2>got to save yourself, save somebody by putting them on

630
00:32:16.960 --> 00:32:20.039
<v Speaker 2>the injured lists there so they don't damage it too much.

631
00:32:20.680 --> 00:32:23.720
<v Speaker 2>And I think for Tyler Glass now an il stint here,

632
00:32:23.799 --> 00:32:26.599
<v Speaker 2>while not ideal with a three game leading the division,

633
00:32:27.240 --> 00:32:29.960
<v Speaker 2>it's certainly better to do it now than to do

634
00:32:30.000 --> 00:32:32.799
<v Speaker 2>it in September, right before the postseason. So you shut

635
00:32:32.880 --> 00:32:35.880
<v Speaker 2>him down now August sixteenth, fifteen days, it's the end

636
00:32:35.920 --> 00:32:40.160
<v Speaker 2>of the month, his first start, what maybe the first,

637
00:32:40.279 --> 00:32:42.720
<v Speaker 2>the second, I don't know. Look at the schedule right now,

638
00:32:42.720 --> 00:32:44.039
<v Speaker 2>Dodger fans, if you don't have in front of you,

639
00:32:44.079 --> 00:32:45.240
<v Speaker 2>I'll tell you who they're playing at the end of

640
00:32:45.279 --> 00:32:50.400
<v Speaker 2>the month, Labor Day weekend, the Arizona Diamondbacks in Arizona.

641
00:32:50.960 --> 00:32:53.799
<v Speaker 2>He could return for the final two games of that series,

642
00:32:53.960 --> 00:32:56.839
<v Speaker 2>which is that four game wrap round series in Arizona,

643
00:32:56.880 --> 00:32:59.039
<v Speaker 2>the final time those two teams will meet in the

644
00:32:59.079 --> 00:33:03.200
<v Speaker 2>regular season. Let's squeeze an Aaron and Van Eyes. You

645
00:33:03.240 --> 00:33:04.599
<v Speaker 2>are our final call tonight, erin how you.

646
00:33:04.640 --> 00:33:06.799
<v Speaker 4>Doing Thank you Sam for taking my call.

647
00:33:06.839 --> 00:33:07.200
<v Speaker 9>I'm good.

648
00:33:07.240 --> 00:33:07.640
<v Speaker 4>How are you?

649
00:33:07.680 --> 00:33:08.559
<v Speaker 3>I'm doing good? Thank you?

650
00:33:09.119 --> 00:33:12.440
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, yeah, Skinner their teeth win tonight, I gotta say,

651
00:33:12.480 --> 00:33:13.960
<v Speaker 4>but I mean, a win is a win.

652
00:33:14.960 --> 00:33:17.079
<v Speaker 3>A win is a win, no doubt about it, Aeron.

653
00:33:17.119 --> 00:33:20.640
<v Speaker 2>But sometimes you win by nine, Sometimes you win by three,

654
00:33:20.680 --> 00:33:23.720
<v Speaker 2>Sometimes you win by one, Sometimes you win an extra inning.

655
00:33:23.799 --> 00:33:26.160
<v Speaker 2>Sometimes you both race the team. There's all kinds of

656
00:33:26.160 --> 00:33:29.079
<v Speaker 2>wins in baseball. The only thing that matters is when

657
00:33:29.119 --> 00:33:31.440
<v Speaker 2>the game is over and you're in the win column

658
00:33:31.480 --> 00:33:31.960
<v Speaker 2>and you're not in.

659
00:33:31.960 --> 00:33:33.279
<v Speaker 3>The lost call. That's all that matters.

660
00:33:33.279 --> 00:33:35.200
<v Speaker 2>We want when we look back at the record, we're

661
00:33:35.200 --> 00:33:37.319
<v Speaker 2>not gonna sit there and say, wow, they barely beat

662
00:33:37.319 --> 00:33:39.799
<v Speaker 2>the Saint Louis Cardinals back on August sixteenth, for that

663
00:33:39.839 --> 00:33:41.279
<v Speaker 2>one win out of one hundred and sixty two.

664
00:33:41.880 --> 00:33:43.759
<v Speaker 4>No, very true, very true. But the reason I wanted

665
00:33:43.799 --> 00:33:46.519
<v Speaker 4>to call was in regards to tomorrow starter. Mister Bobby

666
00:33:46.559 --> 00:33:50.400
<v Speaker 4>Miller got to say, after hearing you read off his

667
00:33:50.519 --> 00:33:55.640
<v Speaker 4>triple A stats recently, I am feeling very less incompetent

668
00:33:55.759 --> 00:33:58.759
<v Speaker 4>of a Dodger win tomorrow or him going very long.

669
00:33:58.960 --> 00:34:02.240
<v Speaker 10>And I'm curious if, because last year was his first

670
00:34:02.240 --> 00:34:05.359
<v Speaker 10>season in the Major leagues, correct it was, yes, yes,

671
00:34:05.480 --> 00:34:10.320
<v Speaker 10>So I'm wondering if now like sophomore slump itis, I

672
00:34:10.320 --> 00:34:14.119
<v Speaker 10>guess is with him. And maybe now there's a lot

673
00:34:14.159 --> 00:34:17.079
<v Speaker 10>more video of him, and teams have kind of figured

674
00:34:17.119 --> 00:34:19.559
<v Speaker 10>him out and analyzed him and made the adjustments as

675
00:34:19.559 --> 00:34:23.039
<v Speaker 10>far as hitting goes. But Bobby, being a young freshman

676
00:34:23.199 --> 00:34:25.960
<v Speaker 10>Major leaguer, hasn't made the adjustments in his pitching.

677
00:34:26.960 --> 00:34:29.079
<v Speaker 2>You're right, I think that's sort of where I was

678
00:34:29.119 --> 00:34:32.039
<v Speaker 2>saying earlier. I appreciate the phone call. Here is you

679
00:34:32.119 --> 00:34:34.639
<v Speaker 2>hear all the time? Baseball is a game of adjustments.

680
00:34:35.079 --> 00:34:37.280
<v Speaker 2>Andi paie has as an example we can use in

681
00:34:37.320 --> 00:34:39.320
<v Speaker 2>the most recent right, Andy paie has comes up from

682
00:34:39.360 --> 00:34:41.760
<v Speaker 2>Triple A Oklahoma City. There's not a lot on him.

683
00:34:41.800 --> 00:34:44.400
<v Speaker 2>He comes up, he burst onto the scene. He's in

684
00:34:44.400 --> 00:34:47.559
<v Speaker 2>fuego no pun intended his first ten games in the

685
00:34:47.599 --> 00:34:50.840
<v Speaker 2>Major leagues, and then he cooled off and he's been

686
00:34:50.920 --> 00:34:54.360
<v Speaker 2>up and down as far as his production since then.

687
00:34:54.800 --> 00:34:57.599
<v Speaker 2>Because teams got more tape on you, they can you

688
00:34:57.639 --> 00:34:59.920
<v Speaker 2>know what Hey, they got computers, just like the Dodgers do.

689
00:35:00.519 --> 00:35:04.639
<v Speaker 2>There's analytical departments. They're scouting in every department in front

690
00:35:04.679 --> 00:35:07.559
<v Speaker 2>office across baseball. They can figure you out better than

691
00:35:07.559 --> 00:35:11.039
<v Speaker 2>you know yourself by looking at the numbers and spitting

692
00:35:11.079 --> 00:35:13.599
<v Speaker 2>them all out of a computer, which is scary, by

693
00:35:13.599 --> 00:35:15.920
<v Speaker 2>the way, but they know more about you than you

694
00:35:15.920 --> 00:35:18.760
<v Speaker 2>know about yourself. And it's a game of adjustments. It's

695
00:35:18.760 --> 00:35:21.440
<v Speaker 2>a cat and mouse game between a pitcher and hitters.

696
00:35:21.840 --> 00:35:23.519
<v Speaker 2>And for hitters you got to go out there and

697
00:35:23.519 --> 00:35:25.400
<v Speaker 2>do it on a daily basis. For a starting pitcher

698
00:35:25.559 --> 00:35:27.920
<v Speaker 2>you get it every five days. And that's why the

699
00:35:28.000 --> 00:35:32.679
<v Speaker 2>side work your bullpins are so important, and sim games

700
00:35:32.719 --> 00:35:34.599
<v Speaker 2>when you're coming back from an injury is so important,

701
00:35:34.760 --> 00:35:36.519
<v Speaker 2>so they can see how you're doing. What kind of

702
00:35:36.519 --> 00:35:39.679
<v Speaker 2>mechanical issues are you having. Did you change something because

703
00:35:39.719 --> 00:35:42.800
<v Speaker 2>maybe something sore this outing, Maybe you're a little you

704
00:35:42.800 --> 00:35:45.119
<v Speaker 2>got some dead legs, or you got a sore side

705
00:35:45.239 --> 00:35:47.159
<v Speaker 2>or a back, and so you're adjusting your wind up

706
00:35:47.320 --> 00:35:49.400
<v Speaker 2>and it's affecting the way you're pitching, and you're missing

707
00:35:49.480 --> 00:35:52.280
<v Speaker 2>on pitches you're usually thrown for strikes. Little things like that.

708
00:35:52.320 --> 00:35:55.119
<v Speaker 2>They tweak in between starts. It's also a mental game.

709
00:35:55.559 --> 00:35:58.159
<v Speaker 2>As a pitcher out there, you face this battery be

710
00:35:58.199 --> 00:36:00.280
<v Speaker 2>fort you had success. Well, I'm gonna throw that same

711
00:36:00.280 --> 00:36:02.639
<v Speaker 2>pitch I threw to get you out last time for

712
00:36:02.719 --> 00:36:06.920
<v Speaker 2>strike three. I'm gonna do that again. Well, the hitter's thinking, Ah,

713
00:36:07.400 --> 00:36:09.880
<v Speaker 2>he struck me out on a slider. I'm not gonna

714
00:36:09.880 --> 00:36:11.800
<v Speaker 2>swing anything below the knees on as far as the

715
00:36:11.840 --> 00:36:14.199
<v Speaker 2>slider coming. But if he hangs it, I'm gonna bang it.

716
00:36:14.519 --> 00:36:16.079
<v Speaker 2>And he hits it out of the ballpark, You're like, wait,

717
00:36:16.079 --> 00:36:20.119
<v Speaker 2>a second slider worked last time. Well, the hitter adjusted,

718
00:36:20.840 --> 00:36:23.679
<v Speaker 2>and the game adjusted, and teams adjusted against pitchers, you

719
00:36:23.760 --> 00:36:26.000
<v Speaker 2>gotta be able to adjust. So it's a lot between

720
00:36:26.000 --> 00:36:30.239
<v Speaker 2>the years. It's a lot mechanical, and certainly it's physical

721
00:36:30.280 --> 00:36:32.639
<v Speaker 2>as well. It's all three of them, and you have

722
00:36:32.679 --> 00:36:34.360
<v Speaker 2>to have all of them working if you're a pitcher

723
00:36:34.400 --> 00:36:38.159
<v Speaker 2>in baseball, and if one of them is off, you're

724
00:36:38.199 --> 00:36:41.239
<v Speaker 2>not gonna have success. And I think for Bobby Miller,

725
00:36:41.920 --> 00:36:45.679
<v Speaker 2>he's got to find those three combinations, put them all together,

726
00:36:45.719 --> 00:36:47.639
<v Speaker 2>and when he does, he'll be back to the Bobby

727
00:36:47.679 --> 00:36:49.400
<v Speaker 2>Miller that he was last year. And I'm confident he

728
00:36:49.400 --> 00:36:52.320
<v Speaker 2>can do it. It's just a matter of when, not if

729
00:36:52.360 --> 00:36:54.360
<v Speaker 2>he could do it. When he does it, all right,

730
00:36:54.400 --> 00:36:56.639
<v Speaker 2>that's gonna do it for Dodger Talk, Mini thanks to Coliny.

731
00:36:57.119 --> 00:36:59.719
<v Speaker 2>He's one of the good guys out there, folks. Colin

735
00:37:07.440 --> 00:37:10.519
<v Speaker 2>Tim talk. We don't want that. It's Dodger Talk. David

<v Speaker 2>Betsy will be back with you on Saturday, and then

<v Speaker 2>They win tonight in Saint Louis, they beating the Cardinals

740
00:37:23.280 --> 00:37:27.159

741
00:37:27.199 --> 00:37:30.760

742
00:37:30.840 --> 00:37:32.800
<v Speaker 2>three ninth. He gets to save his first of the

743
00:37:32.880 --> 00:37:37.480
<v Speaker 2>Dodger uniform. Dodgers seventy two and fifty one, now.

744

745
00:37:39.519 --> 00:37:43.920
<v Speaker 2>Both the Padres and the Diamondbacks lost tonight. Dodgers winners.

746
00:37:44.519 --> 00:37:47.400
