Speaker 1: One thing about this gene is the invisible and tangibles
Speaker 1: that they have.
Speaker 2: This teen is really becoming a family.
Speaker 3: Let's not play one on Tom.
Speaker 4: Let's I love writing me. These guys out to the show.
Speaker 5: Just thank you, give me are.
Speaker 6: Your attention, your fire a piss.
Speaker 7: This is world champion Dodger, world champion.
Speaker 8: Thing put a small soft time they get up people
Speaker 8: what they want to die.
Speaker 9: To in a row two is special.
Speaker 6: I'm like, yeah, it's not a headache.
Speaker 9: One of the con This ball's gone. You ready to go?
Speaker 7: Hell time go to the sound grab your phone to
Speaker 7: get in on the show called eight six six nine
Speaker 7: eighty seven two five seven.
Speaker 9: I'll go to the show.
Speaker 6: And now your host of Dodger Talk, David Vasse.
Speaker 8: We are lying at Corus Field in a rain delay
Speaker 8: and they was windy and rainy, and we got to
Speaker 8: clean up in the front row here in the radio
Speaker 8: booth as the rain started to be blown into the
Speaker 8: booth and Dwayne McDonald, our producer engineer, a mad scramble.
Speaker 8: We closed the windows as Rick Monday and Tim Nevert
Speaker 8: scrambled their way out of the front row. And now
Speaker 8: it's a little cleanup. So they got some time, because
Speaker 8: the rain is going to be here, probably at least
Speaker 8: for the next forty minutes. Hopefully it clears out, but
Speaker 8: it feels like the rain. The weather in Denver, downtown
Speaker 8: Denver changes every hour. I mean, it was a beautiful
Speaker 8: day all day long, and then all of a sudden,
Speaker 8: as the game progressed, the black clouts came in and
Speaker 8: all of a sudden we had rain burst into the
Speaker 8: top of the sixth inning and they were trying to
Speaker 8: play through it, and the Dodgers say, thank you very
Speaker 8: much for trying to play through it, because as you
Speaker 8: heard Rick and Tim mention vyro Estrada try to handle
Speaker 8: a pop up on the infield at second base from
Speaker 8: Max Munsey, the rain drops started to get into his
Speaker 8: eyes and he lost the ball, and all of a
Speaker 8: sudden you had Dalton rushing and Shoeo Tiny score for
Speaker 8: the first two runs of the game. So with two outs,
Speaker 8: the Dodgers have the lead two to nothing with two
Speaker 8: in and two outs. When play resumes, ta Oscar Hernandez
Speaker 8: will be at the play with Max Munsey at first base.
Speaker 8: We have phone lines open at eight six, six nine,
Speaker 8: eight seven, two five seventy. This is game two of
Speaker 8: this three game series between the Dodgers and Rockies, Yoshi
Speaker 8: Yamamoto has been cruising.
Speaker 9: In this game.
Speaker 8: He has pitched five scoreless innings, and all of a sudden,
Speaker 8: you know this is becoming a trend you don't want
Speaker 8: to have if you're Yama Moto, because the Dodgers have
Speaker 8: struggled to score runs when he's been on the mound.
Speaker 8: So it's been two or fewer runs in twelve of
Speaker 8: sixteen starts for Yamamoto this season. He's the guy that
Speaker 8: is not getting a lot of runs support. I remember
Speaker 8: year back in the mid nineties it seemed to be
Speaker 8: knuckleballer Tom Candiotti that never got run support one season.
Speaker 9: So this does occur.
Speaker 8: But you want your best pitcher to be able to
Speaker 8: get some run support. And at least the Dodgers scored
Speaker 8: too in the top half of that sixth inning.
Speaker 9: Likely Yama motos night.
Speaker 8: Is over because of this extended delay, and it was
Speaker 8: one out a way from him being on the mound
Speaker 8: instead of Chase Dolander who was on the mound for
Speaker 8: the Rockies. So Yama motos Night likely done after five
Speaker 8: scoreless innings eight six, six, seven, two five seventy is
Speaker 8: the phone number in case you're wondering if Freddie Freeman
Speaker 8: busted out of his slump tonight.
Speaker 9: He has not.
Speaker 8: He's zero for three. He grinded out to short, to second,
Speaker 8: and to first base in the sixth inning before the
Speaker 8: rain came down. After month, seas pop up to dyro
Speaker 8: Estrada and Chase Dolander.
Speaker 9: You may not know his name, but he's one.
Speaker 8: Of the heart throwing young Rockies and he's gonna be around.
Speaker 9: For a while.
Speaker 8: You have to believe not only Dolander, but the Rockies
Speaker 8: get up for this game, this series against the Dodgers,
Speaker 8: because frankly, they.
Speaker 9: Don't have anything to play for.
Speaker 8: They're on pace to lose more games than any other
Speaker 8: team in modern Major League Baseball history. They're on pace
Speaker 8: to lose one hundred and twenty five games. That would
Speaker 8: be a new record, considering the White Sox set the
Speaker 8: all time loss record just last year one hundred and
Speaker 8: twenty one losses, and the Rockies only have eighteen wins
Speaker 8: this season.
Speaker 9: They're on pace to lose one hundred and twenty five.
Speaker 8: So Chase Dolander, a rookie, a heart throwing right hander,
Speaker 8: is looking to make an impression not only on the Dodgers,
Speaker 8: but for the rest of the season. And you have
Speaker 8: to imagine he brought his a game tonight, and he
Speaker 8: certainly did. The Dodgers set fits against Dolanders fastball tonight,
Speaker 8: haven't been able to do much of anything until that
Speaker 8: sixth inning with a little assist from the rain. And
Speaker 8: speaking of the Rockies and their record, if you look
Speaker 8: at these two teams, the Dodgers and Rockies, going back
Speaker 8: to twenty eighteen, when the Rockies were good enough to
Speaker 8: force a game won sixty three with the Dodgers to decide.
Speaker 9: Who would be the NLS champions.
Speaker 8: That's right, these Rockies, just to mirror what eight years ago,
Speaker 8: we're forcing the Dodgers into a Game one sixty three
Speaker 8: to decide who was going to be the NLS champion.
Speaker 8: Since that game won sixty three behind Walker Bueler and
Speaker 8: Corey Seeger. That beat the Rockies and gave the Dodgers
Speaker 8: another NLS crown.
Speaker 9: The Rockies have lost five.
Speaker 8: Hundred and seventy one games since game won sixty three
Speaker 8: in twenty eighteen.
Speaker 9: That's right.
Speaker 8: The Rockies record since Game one sixty three and twenty
Speaker 8: eighteen three hundred and seventy seven wins five hundred and
Speaker 8: seventy one losses. They're on their way to their third
Speaker 8: one hundred loss season since that game won sixty three
Speaker 8: in twenty eighteen. Eight sixty six, nine eighty seven two
Speaker 8: five seventy is the phone number. Let's go out to
Speaker 8: the phones, and we're also going to share our pregame
Speaker 8: conversation with US Open winner and huge Dodger fan JJ Spawn.
Speaker 8: As we are in a rain delay here at Corsfield,
Speaker 8: let's go out to Boyle Heights.
Speaker 9: Robert, You're on Dodger Talk live from Denver.
Speaker 10: Hi, Robert, Hi, how's it going, Dave?
Speaker 11: Thanks for taking my call.
Speaker 10: I just wanted to ask if he knew any information
Speaker 10: about Bruce ar Graderol and his progression.
Speaker 12: Yeah.
Speaker 8: You know what, we haven't heard a lot about Bruce
Speaker 8: Argraderol other than he won't be ready until the second
Speaker 8: half of the season at the early So we haven't
Speaker 8: seen Bruce dark Graderol since the Dodgers played the Diamondbacks
Speaker 8: in Arizona because obviously that's where their headquarters is for
Speaker 8: kemel Back Ranch out there in Glendale. So no, but
Speaker 8: good news about Blake trining, he's on his way back.
Speaker 8: We've heard from him. And did you hear about Emmitt
Speaker 8: Shean today, Robert.
Speaker 5: Oh, yeah, actually I did six shutout innings.
Speaker 10: I heard.
Speaker 9: A little bit better than that.
Speaker 8: Six perfect innings for Oklahoma City today in Sacramento with
Speaker 8: thirteen strikeouts. Emit Shean certainly is going to be a
Speaker 8: big part of this Dodger rotation. Yeah, Robert, oh wow,
Speaker 8: is one hundred percent right. And look, Emitt she and
Speaker 8: the Dodgers did not demote him just because they didn't
Speaker 8: think he was good enough. They didn't want him to
Speaker 8: pitch at Corse Field. He's just coming back from Tommy
Speaker 8: John surgery pitching in games. They probably didn't want him
Speaker 8: pitching on regular rest without a day off in Kansas
Speaker 8: City either.
Speaker 9: So they could.
Speaker 8: Control his build up program better by sending him down
Speaker 8: to Oklahoma City. And Dave Roberts said before the game today,
Speaker 8: you're gonna see Emt Sheen back here sooner rather than later,
Speaker 8: maybe as soon as the next Homestand so that's great
Speaker 8: news for Emmitt Shean. Yes, six perfect innings today for
Speaker 8: Oklahoma City. He was overpowering with his fastball and slider
Speaker 8: with thirteen strikeouts. And when you see Emma Sheen, if
Speaker 8: you ever have a chance to come to Dodger Stadium
Speaker 8: and watch she and pitch, you will notice a big
Speaker 8: difference and his size and strength since he went on
Speaker 8: the il and since he started to recover from Tommy
Speaker 8: John's surgery.
Speaker 9: I thought Dave Roberts said it perfectly.
Speaker 8: Today he is bigger and more physical than he was
Speaker 8: before he had the surgery. So not only was he
Speaker 8: working on his throwing program, he was working in the
Speaker 8: weight room.
Speaker 9: He is a beast, He's a monster.
Speaker 8: Right now, eight six six nine, eight seven two five
Speaker 8: seventy is the phone number. Dodgers leading the Rockies two
Speaker 8: to nothing at Corsfield. We are in a rain delay
Speaker 8: with two outs in the top of the sixth inning.
Speaker 8: The rain has calmed down a bit here at coors Field,
Speaker 8: but it's still falling. Let's go out to Irvine. Ian
Speaker 8: you're on Dodger Talk with David vasse Hi.
Speaker 1: Ian.
Speaker 6: Hey, David, how you doing doing great?
Speaker 13: Can you real good?
Speaker 12: Okay? Cool?
Speaker 5: Hey? I wanted to just ask I saw some of them.
Speaker 14: Recently on Paul schemes, you know, possibly being shocked around.
Speaker 14: You know, obviously the Pirates season is most likely over,
Speaker 14: and the Dodgers might be a huge, you know, proponent
Speaker 14: to get him and maybe give away like a lot
Speaker 14: of people, including Rokie and some of these minor league players.
Speaker 14: So I wanted to see what your thoughts were if
Speaker 14: if the Dodgers were to do something like that.
Speaker 8: Ian, let me ask you a qu if the Pirates
Speaker 8: were to trade Paul Skins, who is just in his
Speaker 8: first full season in Major League Baseball with six more
Speaker 8: years of controllable salary here, don't you think that if
Speaker 8: the Pirates traded him, they should probably just contract the franchise.
Speaker 8: I mean, why would they do that? And would that
Speaker 8: be good for the game. Do you think the other
Speaker 8: twenty nine teams or twenty eight teams in baseball would
Speaker 8: allow or even want the Pirates to a trade Skiings
Speaker 8: and b trade him to the Dodgers.
Speaker 4: No, of course not.
Speaker 9: I mean this all started.
Speaker 8: This all started with a Jeff Passing appearance on the
Speaker 8: Pat McAfee show.
Speaker 9: And I love Jeff and.
Speaker 8: He is definitely an outspoken critic of the Pirates ownership
Speaker 8: and rightfully so. Did Skeen's agent tell him to put
Speaker 8: this out there?
Speaker 9: Because it makes.
Speaker 8: Absolutely zero sense that the Pirates would even consider trading
Speaker 8: Paul Skins, let alone trading him to the Dodgers.
Speaker 14: I mean, I just thought because of the control that
Speaker 14: he does have for that long a period of time,
Speaker 14: I know that they get to use him for a while,
Speaker 14: but they're not gonna be able to afford him, you know,
Speaker 14: by the time that his contract comes up.
Speaker 9: So yeah, but that's.
Speaker 8: Three or four years from now, that's even five years
Speaker 8: from now. Ian, it's not right now. Wouldn't you believe
Speaker 8: the pirates wouldn't be better to believe the Pirates would
Speaker 8: try to build around Paul Skins rather than trading him
Speaker 8: right away.
Speaker 9: Now.
Speaker 8: I mean that that's just like we're starting to get
Speaker 8: into NBA territory where every good young player was going
Speaker 8: to be traded to the Lakers and that doesn't happen.
Speaker 8: Come on, Ian, that you're a smart guy. It sounds like,
Speaker 8: does that really add up to you Paul Skins being
Speaker 8: traded to the Dodgers this year?
Speaker 15: Come on, it was a hot it.
Speaker 13: I just want to see what your thoughts were on it.
Speaker 8: I think it's as a clown question. How about that?
Speaker 8: Oh no, no, in a good way, not by you.
Speaker 8: But others, you're just delivering the question to me.
Speaker 10: Well, thanks, David, appreciate it.
Speaker 8: Okay, Ian, thanks for the phone call. Yeah, that's the
Speaker 8: most ridiculous thing I have heard. Okay, So here's another
Speaker 8: layer to this. The Pirates are going to trade Paul
Speaker 8: Skiings five years before he's close to free agency. They're
Speaker 8: going to acquire, let's just estimate, five blue chip prospects that,
Speaker 8: if they believe they're really good at some point, are
Speaker 8: going to have to pay them when.
Speaker 9: They hit free agency.
Speaker 8: So you're telling me the guy that everybody shows up
Speaker 8: to watch in Pittsburgh, the Pirates can't afford to pay.
Speaker 8: So that's why they're going to trade him. But they're
Speaker 8: going to take on five or six other blue chip
Speaker 8: players that if they can't pay Paul Skiings, how are
Speaker 8: they going to pay these five or six players. If
Speaker 8: you stop to think about it, it just doesn't make sense.
Speaker 8: The Pirates need to build around Paul Skins. They've got
Speaker 8: five years to do it. They're not going to trade
Speaker 8: Paul Skins. And come on, I feel very strong about it,
Speaker 8: strongly about this. If the Pirates traded Paul Skins to
Speaker 8: the Dodgers, they should just contract the franchise, because what
Speaker 8: are you doing? Are you really trying to win? If
Speaker 8: you do that, and that's how ridiculous it is, it's
Speaker 8: not gonna happen. Eight six six nine eight seven two
Speaker 8: five seventy is the phone number David Vase live at
Speaker 8: Corsfield in Denver. We are in a rain delay, Dodgers
Speaker 8: leading two to nothing in the top of the sixth
Speaker 8: inning with two outs. Let's go out to Malibu. Bob,
Speaker 8: you want to take a victory lap because you were
Speaker 8: at Game one sixty three.
Speaker 16: I want to take a victory lap with you. I
Speaker 16: know you were probably there too as well, Dave, and
Speaker 16: you also probably remember what happened late in that game
Speaker 16: in the ninth when our men Kenley Jansen came into
Speaker 16: that game.
Speaker 12: It got Harry there for a second with two back.
Speaker 16: To back home runs by the Rockies.
Speaker 9: I try to block that out.
Speaker 13: Actually, well, we came out on top.
Speaker 16: This was great, but a fun day at the ballfar
Speaker 16: for Game one sixty three. On the note of the
Speaker 16: last call day and talking about selling the franchise, I
Speaker 16: have a question how much does mlbing, other ownership and
Speaker 16: the commissioner and everybody play into a franchise like the
Speaker 16: Rockies being asked or even forced to sell a dying
Speaker 16: franchise if they don't feel like maybe enough's not being
Speaker 16: reinvested in the team, or it's just not given enough
Speaker 16: back to baseball. How much play to other people or
Speaker 16: say do other teams ownership have in that decision to
Speaker 16: sell a franchise?
Speaker 8: They have, some say, but I mean we've seen owners
Speaker 8: throughout the years really not put the investment back into
Speaker 8: the roster. So you know, as long as they're not
Speaker 8: embarrassing the league or nothing gets spilled up publicly and
Speaker 8: a divorce, then I think it's it's kind of status quo.
Speaker 16: A team like the Rockies days. Do they need to
Speaker 16: sell that franchise and bring a new ownership.
Speaker 8: Well, that's not up to me to say, and I
Speaker 8: don't really know the situation as well, But you would
Speaker 8: hope that this owner one day would reinvest in the
Speaker 8: team because a lot of fans come here to watch
Speaker 8: winning baseball. But I don't think he's done anything egregious
Speaker 8: that would say the rest of the twenty nineteen should
Speaker 8: force him to sell.
Speaker 9: I don't believe that's the case.
Speaker 15: Good, that's fair.
Speaker 16: I just wanted to know maybe how much other teams
Speaker 16: had to say.
Speaker 5: I mean, you know, it seems like he.
Speaker 9: Has to get really messy. It would have to be
Speaker 9: really messy. It would have to be really.
Speaker 8: It would have to affect a team getting thank you
Speaker 8: for the phone call. It would also have to, you know,
Speaker 8: come into play. If you're not able to get a
Speaker 8: new stadium in your city, I think that would raise
Speaker 8: the antennas of the rest of the league. But they've
Speaker 8: got a great ballpark here at Coursefield, and the fans.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 8: They had thirty five thousand last night for the Dodgers
Speaker 8: in a summertime, midweek game. So the fans still come out,
Speaker 8: and you just hope that the fans can be rewarded
Speaker 8: with some good drafting and development and also some smart signings.
Speaker 8: You can't force an owner to sell just because they
Speaker 8: make some mistakes and trades and signings and all that.
Speaker 8: I mean that Chris Bryant signing. They spent money, but
Speaker 8: it wasn't wisely. Daniels Jewelers presents the Home Run Forecast.

Speaker 8: seventy is the phone number. Let's go out to the
Speaker 8: great one eighth, the San Fernando Valley. Joseph, you're on
Speaker 8: Dodger Talk. How you doing, Joseph.
Speaker 10: I'm doing good. I hope you're staying dry.
Speaker 9: We're all drying now, the windows closed.
Speaker 2: Nice.
Speaker 10: Yeah.
Speaker 2: One of my friends lives out there and he's like, well,
Speaker 2: it's raining. What's all this talk about, like the trades?
Speaker 2: I guess the Dodgers being linked to so many trades,
Speaker 2: pitch ideas, and then this whole thing of Chris Dale
Speaker 2: and just I saw some articles about like in the
Speaker 2: rumor mill. I guess, like, I guess why the teas
Speaker 2: with Well.
Speaker 8: You're gonna see a lot of rumors between as we
Speaker 8: get closer to July thirty. First, you're gonna see a
Speaker 8: lot of rumors, so be ready for that. And the
Speaker 8: Dodgers are the premier team and everybody knows they're trying
Speaker 8: to go forward again for back to back championships. So
Speaker 8: you're gonna see a lot of those rumors and look,
Speaker 8: am I certain starting pitching is what the Dodgers were
Speaker 8: going to put at the top of their list. I'm not,
Speaker 8: but it could make sense to add another cantrollable starting pitcher.
Speaker 8: I'm a huge Chrissale fan. He is a guy that
Speaker 8: you would want on your pitching staff in the postseason.
Speaker 8: Another guy that the Marlins are going to be listening
Speaker 8: about is Sandy al Cantata, and the Dodgers have a
Speaker 8: lot of blue chip players, including tonight's starting catcher Dalton Rushing,
Speaker 8: who's not starting. He's a backup that teams like the
Speaker 8: Marlins may want. So you're gonna you're gonna hear a
Speaker 8: lot of that. M hm.
Speaker 2: I guess, like basically, what about is there? They're not
Speaker 2: gonna touch Kim though, right, They're keeping Kim.
Speaker 9: Yeah, they like him. I don't think he's going anywhere, Joseph.
Speaker 8: But if there's a player that can make a huge difference,
Speaker 8: you got to give something to get something.
Speaker 9: But I don't think Kim's going anywhere.
Speaker 8: Thanks a lot for the phone call, Joseph appreciated eight
Speaker 8: sixty six nine seven two five seventy is the phone number.
Speaker 8: By the way, speaking of Paul Skeins and the Pirates,
Speaker 8: the guy that you know the Pirates realistically may consider
Speaker 8: trading is their relief pitcher. He was their closer than
Speaker 8: he wasn't now he is again David Bednar. I mean
Speaker 8: Andrew Friedman was on Petro Some Money show a month
Speaker 8: ago after Evan Phillips underwent Tommy John surgery and was
Speaker 8: on the record as saying the Dodgers will be looking
Speaker 8: for a right handed reliever, and David Bednar maybe that
Speaker 8: type of guy. So I feel like right now the
Speaker 8: Dodgers may be looking for a right handed reliever, maybe
Speaker 8: an outfielder, and starting pitching definitely is never off the table.
Speaker 8: Eight six, six nine seven two five seventy is the
Speaker 8: phone number. Let's go out to Corona, Ronnie. You're on
Speaker 8: Dodger Talk with David Vess.
Speaker 9: Hi, Ronnie, how you doing? Dv doing good?
Speaker 13: Hey?
Speaker 4: So, I had a question.
Speaker 5: I know Kershaw's pitching tomorrow. He's eight strikeouts away from
Speaker 5: three thousand. Yeah, what do you think the odd tomorrow?
Speaker 5: I see if he lights out pitch is super low.
Speaker 5: If he got to maybe like seven strikeouts that doctor
Speaker 5: took him out. That way he could do the three
Speaker 5: thousand mark at home, in front of his home.
Speaker 12: For doubt.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I thought about that, and I feel like, you know,
Speaker 8: here at Coursfield, Dave Roberts is not going to let
Speaker 8: him go past seven innings. And Dave understands, you know,
Speaker 8: the celebration for Kershaw reaching three thousand strikeouts, So I
Speaker 8: could I could see him allowing him to be one
Speaker 8: short and pulling him so he could achieve that at
Speaker 8: Dodger Stadium. I think it's got to come into context
Speaker 8: of the outing and the game. But I will say this, Ronnie,
Speaker 8: how many strikeouts would you imagine Kershaw getting within five innings?
Speaker 8: I feel like the over under on Kershaw strikeouts tomorrow realistically,
Speaker 8: and I feel like I'm being a little generous is
Speaker 8: six and a half. I feel like that's a very
Speaker 8: generous over under for strikeouts for Kershaw tomorrow.
Speaker 9: How do you think he gets.
Speaker 5: I would agree, I would.
Speaker 12: I was gonna stay about I was going to say
Speaker 12: about four or five, to be honest, but you know,
Speaker 12: you never know.
Speaker 8: Well, I mean, look at it right now, Yamamoto pitch
Speaker 8: five scoreless tonight, and he's a strikeout pitcher. He had
Speaker 8: six strikeouts in five innings and he's a strikeout pitcher,
Speaker 8: so I feel like five or six is pretty reasonable.
Speaker 8: And then Kershaw's next start would be at home against
Speaker 8: the White Sox, and we all know he could he
Speaker 8: can get two or three strikeouts against them.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 5: No, it would be nice just to have him be
Speaker 5: able to do it in front of the home crowd.
Speaker 5: You know, the possibility of this scene is last year.
Speaker 5: I'm sure the fans of LA would love to see
Speaker 5: this so and he deserves it now.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I feel like it's lining up for that and
Speaker 8: that would be special. Thanks for the phone call, Ronnie,
Speaker 8: appreciate it. We are in a rain delay two to
Speaker 8: nine Dodgers in the top of the sixth inning with
Speaker 8: two outs, Max Mounsey at first base and ti Oscar
Speaker 8: Hernandez will be the batter for the Dodgers. Speaking of Kershaw, yes,
Speaker 8: he is pitching tomorrow. Yes, it is the finale of
Speaker 8: this three game series. First pitch will be at twelve
Speaker 8: ten Pacific time. And we had a chance to catch
Speaker 8: up with Kershaw this past Sunday, and he's been very
Speaker 8: open about the fact that he is on the doorstep
Speaker 8: of this big time milestone for any starting pitcher.
Speaker 17: It's taking a little while, taking a little longer than
Speaker 17: I thought. But no, you know, I'm really just trying
Speaker 17: to pitch. You know, at the end of the day,
Speaker 17: the strikeouts are supposed to happen, and they'll just come
Speaker 17: when they come.
Speaker 9: But it is getting closer.
Speaker 17: You're starting to feel it a little bit more, and
Speaker 17: you know, I try not to pay too much attention
Speaker 17: to it, but you know, I am thankful. My teammates
Speaker 17: are excited for me, and Freddie especially keeps reminding me.
Speaker 17: So it's, uh, that is that is cool. I mean
Speaker 17: it shows that they care and they want me to,
Speaker 17: you know, do something cool like that.
Speaker 9: So I do appreciate that. That's cool.
Speaker 8: You hear about hitters when they're on the doorstep of
Speaker 8: five hundred they kind of go into a little prolonged
Speaker 8: slum trying to hit that home run.
Speaker 9: Is it different for a pitcher, Well, I think.
Speaker 17: So you got more opportunities to strike people out, you know,
Speaker 17: I think you know, you only get four maybe five
Speaker 17: at bats a game, so that that that's a little
Speaker 17: more understandable. You know, I shouldn't I shouldn't go on
Speaker 17: a strikeout drought that bad. You know, we are going
Speaker 17: to Colorado next, but make make make get it through
Speaker 17: that one and then see where we are.
Speaker 8: Skip Schumacher was your first ever strikeout here at Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 8: How often did you remind him of that? And how
Speaker 8: often do you still remind him?
Speaker 9: Yeah, it's great.
Speaker 17: You know, I get to I get to have that
Speaker 17: for the rest of my life with Skip, So that's awesome.
Speaker 17: And it's just kind of cool that, you know, I
Speaker 17: got to play with Skip and get to know him,
Speaker 17: and he really is one of the best. So it's
Speaker 17: a it's a cool strikeout to have, And yeah, I
Speaker 17: remind him all the time.
Speaker 9: That's great. Yeah, it is great.
Speaker 8: Skip Schumacher was one of Kershaw's favorite teammates. They were
Speaker 8: only teammates for one year on the twenty thirteen Dodgers,
Speaker 8: but they Skip Schumacher and Nick Punto certainly made a
Speaker 8: big impact on Kershaw because when he won the MV
Speaker 8: and the cy Young the following year and they weren't teammates,
Speaker 8: he still mentioned them in his speech, So you know
Speaker 8: that left a big impression on him.
Speaker 9: So I guess my prediction.
Speaker 8: Now my official prediction for Kershaw strikeouts tomorrow, five strikeouts
Speaker 8: in five innings and he'll get three more at Dodger
Speaker 8: Stadium against the White Sox. Eight six six nine eight
Speaker 8: seven two five seventy is the phone number. David Vase
Speaker 8: live at Corsfield with Rick Monday and Tim Neverett alongside
Speaker 8: Dwayne MacDonald, our producer engineer and a rain delay at Corsfield.
Speaker 8: Top of the sixth inning with two outs, two runs
Speaker 8: are in thanks to a Max Mounsey pop up that
Speaker 8: dyro Estrada could not see because the rain was falling
Speaker 8: pretty hard at that point in time, and he just
Speaker 8: turned his head away and let the ball drop between
Speaker 8: first and second base. So that's how the Dodgers scored
Speaker 8: their two runs. Otani and rushing running on contact with
Speaker 8: two outs scored and Taoskar Hernandez will come up with
Speaker 8: two outs and Max Munsey at first base when we
Speaker 8: resume play.
Speaker 9: Eight six six.
Speaker 8: Nine seven two five seventies the phone number. Let's go
Speaker 8: out to set Clemente. Jorgey, you're on Dodger Talk. How
Speaker 8: you doing, Jorge?

Speaker 12: a huge Dodger fan, I remember right hold on.
Speaker 9: Let's rewind. Let's rewind.
Speaker 8: Hold on, hold on, just don't talk at me, Let's rewind, buddy.

Speaker 12: Very I'm still excited. Sorry about that, man, How you doing,
Speaker 12: my friend?
Speaker 9: That's all right, control your excitement.
Speaker 12: Super excited to be on Dodgers tech man. I remember
Speaker 12: when the Rockies first came into the expansion. That was
Speaker 12: my first Dodger game. I was in fourth grade. I
Speaker 12: remember that like it was yesterday. I remember that.
Speaker 8: Do you know who the first pick the Rockies had
Speaker 8: in uh in their expansion draft or in the amateur draft?
Speaker 9: Do you remember that.
Speaker 12: I was in fourth grade.
Speaker 2: I don't.
Speaker 12: I don't even remember.
Speaker 9: I don't remember that, David Need, that's a good trivia
Speaker 9: question for you.
Speaker 12: That's a good one. Hey, I had a question for you.
Speaker 12: What do you think is going on with all these
Speaker 12: pitchers as far as like league wide and Dodgers, with
Speaker 12: them having so many injuries? Do you think you has
Speaker 12: to do with the pitch clock or but what do
Speaker 12: you think is going on? I've been asking myself that
Speaker 12: for a while.
Speaker 8: I've been asked that a million times, and here's the answer.
Speaker 8: I don't have the answer because every case is individualized,
Speaker 8: but I feel like oral Herscheizer has said it perfectly
Speaker 8: so many times.
Speaker 9: It's guys chasing velocity.
Speaker 8: And also in there in between starts bullpen sessions, they're
Speaker 8: chasing the optimal metrics every time they throw a pitch,
Speaker 8: even in their bullpen. Instead of just trying to get
Speaker 8: the feel for some of their pitches, they're trying to
Speaker 8: make the max effort most perfect pitch ever because they
Speaker 8: look at the iPad and they look at the mech trick.
Speaker 8: So when you're going you're going hard every fifth day
Speaker 8: and then you're going hard in practice, Uh, things are
Speaker 8: not going to work.
Speaker 12: Out for you, right, Yeah, no, it's it's it's interesting.
Speaker 12: But you know, like I hate seeing all these pictures
Speaker 12: and all these good pictures, especially on the Dodger side,
Speaker 12: you know, getting hurt and it's kind of like, man,
Speaker 12: you know there there has to be something to it,
Speaker 12: but you know, yeah, man, so it's really cool. I'm
Speaker 12: going to kind of tick you back on a little
Speaker 12: bit when you guys were talking earlier, but Kershaw is
Speaker 12: one of the best pictures I've ever seen in my life.
Speaker 12: I remember when he came up when I was in
Speaker 12: high school and I was there for a no hitter.
Speaker 12: I remember that very vividly. I was supposed to be
Speaker 12: at that game, but God blessed me for that reason
Speaker 12: to be in there. And yeah, man, I'm huge Dodger
Speaker 12: fance and since I was a kid, I grew up
Speaker 12: in damn bar and always bleed blue even in Orange County.
Speaker 8: All right, Orgete, thanks for the phone call. Appreciate it.

Speaker 18: Yo?
Speaker 9: Mark?
Speaker 8: He go, all right, We're gonna take a time out
Speaker 8: here on Dodger Talk. How about you guys reset again
Speaker 8: during this reign delay. We're also going to hear from
Speaker 8: JJ Spawn had a chance to catch up with the
Speaker 8: US Open champion and he's a huge Dodger fan from
Speaker 8: San Dimas.
Speaker 9: That's coming up next.
Speaker 8: As we take you to the top of the hour,
Speaker 8: the rain has subsided, so hopefully the grounds crew can
Speaker 8: get the tarp off here soon and we can get
Speaker 8: play resumed as the Dodgers are leading the Rockies in
Speaker 8: the top of the sixth inning with two outs, two
Speaker 8: to nothing on the World Champion Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 6: Even if you're listening to La Dodgers.
Speaker 8: Baseball on top of the Mountains on the World Champion in.
Speaker 6: La Dodgers Audio, what.
Speaker 1: Three and two to mun Shoon the pitch they office
Speaker 1: swung on and popped up right side second basement.
Speaker 9: Astrada calling for it, he can't find it. It drops
Speaker 9: in th head. Both rushing and old Tani Scar.
Speaker 1: And Tolia stopped even looking for the baseball.
Speaker 8: That's how the Dodgers scored the first two runs of
Speaker 8: the game, top of the sixth inning, with two outs.
Speaker 8: The rain was falling at that time, starting to get heavier,
Speaker 8: and thyro Estrada lost the ball in the rain, and
Speaker 8: the Dodgers scored two runs with two outs. And that's
Speaker 8: where we stand right now in a rain delay at Corsfield,
Speaker 8: with the Dodgers leading two to nothing in the top
Speaker 8: of the sixth inning with two outs. When play resumes,
Speaker 8: we'll have Max Munsey at first base and ta Oscar
Speaker 8: Hernandez at the plate. Eight six six seven two five
Speaker 8: seventy is the phone number. Before the game today, we
Speaker 8: had a chance to catch up with the US Open champion,
Speaker 8: JJ spawn who's from San Demis and is a huge
Speaker 8: Dodger fan.
Speaker 9: In fact, he had one of his.
Speaker 8: Score books, a leather bound score book with the Dodgers
Speaker 8: logo on it, and that's how we were tipped off
Speaker 8: that he is a huge Dodger fan. So JJ joined
Speaker 8: us before the game and here was our conversation.
Speaker 15: Hey, David, yeah, no problem, thanks for having me on
Speaker 15: last to be on the phone with you.
Speaker 8: Hey, it's meant to be the Dodgers winning the World
Speaker 8: Series in twenty four and a Dodger fan named JJ
Speaker 8: Spahn winning the US Open this year.
Speaker 15: I know, right, Yeah, it's been an incredible year for me.
Speaker 15: And you know, to backup a World Series win for
Speaker 15: the city of La with the twenty twenty five US Open, I'm,
Speaker 15: you know, super humbled and proud to be the US
Speaker 15: Open and you know, keep that trophy in Southern California.
Speaker 8: Jji spotted your score book with the leather Dodger cover
Speaker 8: on it, and that kind of tipped us all off
Speaker 8: that you're a big Dodger fan. Have you had that
Speaker 8: score book a long time or was that special for
Speaker 8: the US Open.
Speaker 15: I've actually had it for a really long time. My
Speaker 15: father in law does an annual Christmas gift for me
Speaker 15: where he gives me a new yardage book cover, so
Speaker 15: we carry Yardage book covers that has all the course
Speaker 15: notes in it. And you know, with commodity and rain
Speaker 15: and stuff, it gets wet, so you usually have a
Speaker 15: leather cover and people like to personalize there. So my
Speaker 15: father in law has always put a Dodgers theme on it.
Speaker 15: I have a World Series one, but the authentic Dodgers
Speaker 15: one has been my favorite for the last few years.
Speaker 15: So yeah, it's been in my back pocket, you know,
Speaker 15: for the last four or five years, and it's definitely
Speaker 15: part of, you know, my lucky routine, my lucky charm
Speaker 15: for me on the course.
Speaker 9: That's really special.
Speaker 8: And you know, we saw your Instagram page where a
Speaker 8: couple of years ago you actually showed up at Chase
Speaker 8: Field to take a photo with Mookie Beds and Freddie Freeman.
Speaker 8: Do you have a favorite Dodger How long have you
Speaker 8: been a Dodger fan?
Speaker 15: Yeah, I mean I've I've been a Dodger fan since
Speaker 15: I can remember. You know, really young. My grandfather used
Speaker 15: to hold season tickets and would treat us to games,
Speaker 15: you know, weekly or monthly whenever we could get out
Speaker 15: of school and stuff during the week. But yeah, I've
Speaker 15: always been, you know, a huge Dodger fan. It really
Speaker 15: kind of escalated and you know my high school and
Speaker 15: college years during the you know, Manny Ramirez andres your
Speaker 15: Matt Camp, you know, Era and Kersh. So that's kind
Speaker 15: of when it really grew into a passion for me.
Speaker 15: But yeah, you know, like it's it's such a great
Speaker 15: organization and there's so many great players that come through
Speaker 15: it's hard to just pick one. But yeah, it was
Speaker 15: fun to see Mooki and Freddie. Actually, Mooki was my
Speaker 15: pro am partner at the Pebble Beach Pro am three
Speaker 15: years ago, so that was that was a great treat
Speaker 15: to you know, get to play fifty four holes with
Speaker 15: him and get to know him a little bit. So
Speaker 15: we've kept in touch a little bit here and there
Speaker 15: throughout the years in between and it's been fun. So
Speaker 15: it's nice to have, you know, a connection with with
Speaker 15: some players that are on the Dodgers.
Speaker 8: Did Mookie Bets send you a text after you won
Speaker 8: the US Open.
Speaker 15: Yes, you sure did. Yeah, and his his wife texted
Speaker 15: my wife and they're super very nice and co graduating
Speaker 15: and you know, we we've got some plans up, you know,
Speaker 15: up our sleeves in the future to come out to
Speaker 15: Dodge Stadium make some things happen. So, uh yeah, it's
Speaker 15: a very exciting time to uh, you know, be a
Speaker 15: Dodger him and also get to share it with all
Speaker 15: my friends.
Speaker 8: That's awesome, JJ Spahn the US Open champion and a
Speaker 8: kid from San Dimas is joining us.
Speaker 9: All right, JJ, So if I had to tell.
Speaker 8: You you could wear one player's jersey while playing a championship tournament,
Speaker 8: would it be Ethier, would it be Camp would it
Speaker 8: be Mookie Bets?
Speaker 9: Who would it be?
Speaker 15: I would have to go with I think I just
Speaker 15: have to go with Kersh just because he's like the franchise,
Speaker 15: you know, like I like to nickname him the franchise.
Speaker 15: He's the face and he's been through it all, He's
Speaker 15: been a champion, he's you know, been such a key
Speaker 15: role player for this team. I'd kind of, you know,
Speaker 15: I have a soft spot for Curse, so I'd be
Speaker 15: wearing twenty two.
Speaker 8: So tomorrow he'll take the mound here at Corus Field,
Speaker 8: only eight strikeouts away from three thousand. Will you be
Speaker 8: able to watch tomorrow start?
Speaker 15: Yes, of course, got to watch that. I gotta you know,
Speaker 15: obviously Dad routines with putting the kids to sleep and stuff. Well,
Speaker 15: I guess it's an early game, right midday, so yeah.
Speaker 9: Yeah, one o'clock game tomorrow.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 15: I'm resting, relaxing, so you know, I got all the
Speaker 15: time to kill after the last two weeks of golf,
Speaker 15: and it's kind of nice to to veg out on
Speaker 15: the couch and watch some baseball, so I'll definitely be watching.
Speaker 9: Love it JJ.
Speaker 8: I got to ask you this, since you're such a
Speaker 8: big Dodger fan, where were you when Freddie Freeman hit
Speaker 8: his walk off Grand Slam against the Yankees last year?
Speaker 15: That was actually a really cool question. I was. I
Speaker 15: was in Tokyo, actually Tokyo, Japan, playing the Zozo Yeah,
Speaker 15: I was playing the Zozo Championship over in Narta, Tokyo,
Speaker 15: and I'll never forget I was walking. So it was
Speaker 15: at the time. It was probably ten eleven am in
Speaker 15: Japan time, so you know, back home in the evening,
Speaker 15: and I was in the middle of my round. So
Speaker 15: I was pulling out my phone during that game and
Speaker 15: seeing what happened, and you know, I saw it was
Speaker 15: bottom of the ninth, you know, a couple of strikeouts
Speaker 15: or a couple outs and faces loaded, and so I
Speaker 15: had to put my phone away. I went to hit
Speaker 15: my shot and then pulled the phone back out like
Speaker 15: five minutes later on the grid and it's a game over,
Speaker 15: and you know, to see that, you know, update on
Speaker 15: my phone, but not the actual play was crazy, kind
Speaker 15: of like freaked out in the middle of my round.
Speaker 15: But I was able to see the highlights afterwards, which
Speaker 15: was super cool.
Speaker 8: Yeah, that's a unique story from a very unique lifestyle.
Speaker 8: US Open champion JJ Spawn is our guest. All right,
Speaker 8: since you are a big Dodger fan, would you mind
Speaker 8: answering a question for the all time LA Dodger home
Speaker 8: run leader Eric Carross.
Speaker 9: Are you good with that?
Speaker 15: Yeah, of course, not a problem.
Speaker 8: He sent me a text he wants to know what
Speaker 8: your go to calm yourself before a huge shot or putt.
Speaker 9: Is Is there a song? Is there a verse?
Speaker 8: Is there a saying how do you calm yourself down
Speaker 8: in that big moment like you did in the US Open.
Speaker 15: Yeah, great question. I think the best thing for me
Speaker 15: to for me to approach big pressure shots or putts
Speaker 15: is I like to tell myself that I've done this
Speaker 15: a million times, Like whether it's a t shot, you know,
Speaker 15: I've hit a million of these tea shots. I've hit
Speaker 15: a million of these three. I can't say I've hit
Speaker 15: a million sixty four footers and made them, but but
Speaker 15: I have, you know, done everything in between. And I
Speaker 15: think kind of putting that mindset, you know, before you
Speaker 15: hit your shot and kind of helps you get into
Speaker 15: your routine and kind of you know, thumbs down the
Speaker 15: moment of how how big of a moment it is,
Speaker 15: and takes a lot of the pressure off by just
Speaker 15: saying you've done this millions of times, because you know,
Speaker 15: whether it's practice or other tournaments beforehand. The best thing
Speaker 15: to do is just think of it as another swing
Speaker 15: and another shot, kind of like you know Freddy, you
Speaker 15: know he had to hit it, he hit that Grand Slam,
Speaker 15: but I'm sure he's up there thinking, yeah, this is
Speaker 15: a huge moment, but it's just another at bat.
Speaker 9: No doubt.
Speaker 8: That's how you got to keep yourself in the moment,
Speaker 8: be where your feet are and JJ spawn certainly did
Speaker 8: that a couple of weeks ago winning the US Open.
Speaker 9: Can't wait to see you at Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 12: JJ.
Speaker 8: All the best to you between then and now, and
Speaker 8: who knows you may see JJ spawn somewhere earned San Dimas.
Speaker 9: Between then as well. Thanks a lot for the time,
Speaker 9: JJ appreciate it of course.
Speaker 15: David, Yeah, thanks for having me on and go Dodgers.
Speaker 8: Oh yeah, JJ Spahn joining us before the game, sharing
Speaker 8: that conversation with you, the US Open champion and a
Speaker 8: local kid that grew up loving the Dodgers. Awesome to
Speaker 8: have him on the show, and I found out a
Speaker 8: few different things there where he really dove into his
Speaker 8: fandom during the camp Ethier days and he has a
Speaker 8: personal relationship with Mookie Betts. How about that for JJ
Speaker 8: spawn and the schedules haven't lined up for him and
Speaker 8: the Dodgers for him to come out to Dodger Stadium
Speaker 8: and throw out a first pitch, But my understanding is
Speaker 8: that will happen later in the year when it all
Speaker 8: lines up. In case he missed any of that conversation
Speaker 8: or you want to share it, you can find it
Speaker 8: on the iHeartRadio app and thanks to our guy, Steve Brenner,
Speaker 8: the best PR man and best guy out there for
Speaker 8: the Dodgers and Brenner. Sweichel appreciates Steve Brenner connecting us
Speaker 8: with JJ Spahn. Eight six sixe eight seven two five
Speaker 8: seventy is the phone number.
Speaker 9: We are in a rain delay.
Speaker 8: The Dodgers leading the Rockies two to nothing in the
Speaker 8: top of the sixth inning with two outs. The Dodgers
Speaker 8: are still hitting and Taoscar Hernandez will be at the
Speaker 8: plate with Max Munsey at first base when play resumes.
Speaker 9: Good news.
Speaker 8: The heavy rain has moved out of downtown Denver. The
Speaker 8: tarp is off the field. They just dumped a lot
Speaker 8: of water off the tarp in shallow left field. It
Speaker 8: looked like a river when they first did, but right
Speaker 8: now this field is really absorbing well and it's pretty
Speaker 8: much all gone. Hear the cheers in the background. The
Speaker 8: grounds crew here at Corusfield rolling up that tarp as
Speaker 8: they get ready to play ball. So that's good news.
Speaker 8: Eight six six eight seven two five seventy is the
Speaker 8: phone number. We still do not have a start time
Speaker 8: on when the Dodgers and Rockies will resume play. The
Speaker 8: first five innings were only an hour. We were cruising
Speaker 8: right along because there wasn't a lot of scoring. But
Speaker 8: the rain obviously has ruined those plans. And tomorrow a
Speaker 8: day game on Getaway Day, Kershaw Day. Clayton Kershaw on
Speaker 8: the mound for the Dodgers, just eight strikeouts away from
Speaker 8: three thousand in his Hall of Fame career, Kershaw will
Speaker 8: join eventually Steve Carlton, C. C. Sabathia, and Randy Johnson
Speaker 8: as the only lefties in baseball history to record three
Speaker 8: thousand career strikeouts. Let's go back out to the phones,
Speaker 8: Mark in la You're on Dodger Talk with David Vase.
Speaker 9: Hi. Mark, Hi, Dave, how you doing doing great?
Speaker 3: Send some of that rain over here we need in La.
Speaker 9: Hey.
Speaker 12: You have a big question for you.
Speaker 3: I haven't heard very many people talk about them. I'm
Speaker 3: firing these balls and strikes and we see it hitting
Speaker 3: the lines and whatnot. And I go back to the
Speaker 3: last time your model pitch where he pitched six pitches,
Speaker 3: struck out two guys, and he had the first two
Speaker 3: strikes on the next batter and he and the next
Speaker 3: pitch went right down the middle in between the box
Speaker 3: a little maybe an inch higher. But Stevie Wonder could
Speaker 3: have called that a strike. I mean he could have
Speaker 3: seen that one. And I mean, what happens to these umpires?
Speaker 3: Doesn't somebody go over it and give these guys like
Speaker 3: talking to like what are you looking at? I mean, well,
Speaker 3: that's the thing they're being great that it's it's horrendous.
Speaker 8: I wouldn't go that far, Mark, And I'm not a
Speaker 8: guy that goes after umpires and that's the reason why
Speaker 8: you win or lose the game. But yeah, sometimes it's
Speaker 8: really egregious. And here's something for you to know and
Speaker 8: everybody else to know. The box you see on TV
Speaker 8: and even on game day on MLB dot com, that's
Speaker 8: not the accurate strike zone.
Speaker 9: It's close, but it's not. That's not the strike zone.
Speaker 8: I've been told that countless times by umpires, by umpires supervisors,
Speaker 8: and a lot of those umpires would love for that
Speaker 8: box to not even be shown on TV because that's
Speaker 8: not the actual strike zone.
Speaker 3: How far is it from from the real one.
Speaker 8: I mean, uh yeah, I would say it's in the vicinity,
Speaker 8: but it's not the strike zone. I mean, do you
Speaker 8: see it ever move when the height of a batter changes.
Speaker 9: I never see it move. It's the same box.
Speaker 3: No, Yeah, that's true. Yeah, I gotta give you that,
Speaker 3: that's true.
Speaker 8: But I'm just saying, so just keep that in mind
Speaker 8: when it's a look, hey, hey, let me tell you this, Mark,
Speaker 8: If it's a borderline pitch on that box you're seeing
Speaker 8: on TV, the chances are it's borderline and it can
Speaker 8: go either way. Now, if it's two baseballs away or
Speaker 8: a full baseball outside of that box, you may have
Speaker 8: an argument. But I just think you all should remember
Speaker 8: that the box on TV is not the accurate strike zone.
Speaker 5: Okay, thank you.
Speaker 3: I didn't know that.
Speaker 12: I thought it was I thought it was right.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 12: That's good, and I know I'll get it.
Speaker 3: Because the batter's collar and small, you know, collar and
Speaker 3: the shorter. Yeah.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I'm with you. I'm with you. I think we
Speaker 9: all believe that, but it's not the case. So, uh good.
Speaker 8: I'm glad you brought that up. Thanks for the phone call, Mark,
Speaker 8: appreciate it. Eight sixty six nine eighty seven two five
Speaker 8: seventy is the phone number. We just got an update
Speaker 8: from the umpiring crew that this game will resume between
Speaker 8: the Dodgers and Rockies. At eight twenty Pacific time, nine
Speaker 8: to twenty mountains. So between now and then more Dodger
Speaker 8: talk with you and me. Eight sixty six nine eighty
Speaker 8: seven two five seventy is the phone number. Let's go
Speaker 8: out to Washington. Branson listening on the iHeartRadio app. How
Speaker 8: you doing Branson?
Speaker 1: Good?
Speaker 18: Thanks for having me on.
Speaker 9: My pleasure. What's going on up there in Washington state?
Speaker 9: Where are you pulling that much?
Speaker 18: I am actually southwest Washington, about an hour north of Portland, Oregon.
Speaker 18: Not a bandwagoner, I swear my cousin Jason Schmidt. You know,
Speaker 18: he retired a Dodgers, So when he retired I just
Speaker 18: stuck with him.
Speaker 9: And uh, yeah, you don't.
Speaker 8: Those of us that have been around you don't need
Speaker 8: to remind us. So Jason Schmidt is.
Speaker 12: Oh I am aware.
Speaker 18: You know you google his name as a Dodger and
Speaker 18: uh it's not the articles you want to see, but
Speaker 18: awesome here and you talked to JJ too from the
Speaker 18: US Open and funny Kershaw memory. Obviously Kershaw's first start
Speaker 18: two thousand and eight, he accidentally put Jason's jersey on
Speaker 18: and walked out there for the anthem and didn't realize
Speaker 18: it and it's kind of funny, but.
Speaker 9: That's right.
Speaker 18: I remember, Yeah, So yeah, I wanted to talk about
Speaker 18: Suarez getting suspended and the.
Speaker 8: Roberts there who hit show heo tany last week?
Speaker 19: All right, go ahead, yeah, And obviously you know I'm
Speaker 19: super back in the Dodgers, but it's hard not to
Speaker 19: see a little bit of favoritism towards Showhay potentially from
Speaker 19: the MLB.
Speaker 18: We see people get hit a lot, right, And why
Speaker 18: was it four as I got picked for that? You know,
Speaker 18: he see the MLB reduced.
Speaker 8: To the game went He went up by the shoulders,
Speaker 8: above the shoulders, and it was intentional.
Speaker 9: That's why that's true.
Speaker 18: We did see him get intentionally hit the day before.
Speaker 18: Now that was obviously more in the leg, but I
Speaker 18: could see that.
Speaker 8: And that was the game policing the game, because the
Speaker 8: umpires allowed the.
Speaker 9: Teams to police themselves.
Speaker 8: Nothing took place after that, and I had an issue
Speaker 8: with it too, Branson. Quite honestly, Randy Vasquez took two
Speaker 8: pitches to hit O'tani in the lake. The unwritten rule
Speaker 8: is you only get one shot, and he got two.
Speaker 8: So you know, if I'm an umpire, I'm throwing him
Speaker 8: out after that second one because he had his shot.
Speaker 18: Yeah, and Machado was like, well, what were the warnings
Speaker 18: for on that, you know, on that one and.
Speaker 8: When he got hit by when Jose and I Gleasias
Speaker 8: got hit on the hand. Yeah, that was a fair
Speaker 8: argument by Machado, but I'm glad the umpires realized that
Speaker 8: there was no intent there. But if you're going to
Speaker 8: issue warnings, you better stick by it.
Speaker 12: Yeah.
Speaker 18: Yeah, I'm just scurious on your thoughts on that suspension,
Speaker 18: if it was overkilled or not or why you know the.
Speaker 8: I guess now the consensus was it was the right
Speaker 8: amount of games and whatever the undisclosed fine was, but
Speaker 8: come on, it was a three to zero count with
Speaker 8: two outs and he didn't even go below the waist.
Speaker 9: He hit him close to the head, Branson, and.
Speaker 18: It was we're all happy to see show hey get
Speaker 18: up for sure, and glad it wasn't.
Speaker 8: A little higher exactly. Thank you for the phone call,
Speaker 8: Branson appreciated. Eight six six nine eight seven two five
Speaker 8: seventy is the phone number. By the way, Suarez uh
Speaker 8: was able to appeal his suspension. I'm not sure where
Speaker 8: that stands right now, but I'm not sure if he
Speaker 8: served it or not. Oh, he reduced it to one game.
Speaker 8: Rick Monday just uh, it was reduced to one by
Speaker 8: so it's two games. Thank you, thank you, headset on
Speaker 8: couldn't hear eight six six nine eighty seven two five
Speaker 8: seventy is.
Speaker 9: The phone number?
Speaker 8: Van Eyes, Andrew, you're on Dodger Talk. Yeah, so Suarez
Speaker 8: suspension reduced by one game.
Speaker 9: It was a two game suspension. How you doing, Andrew?
Speaker 12: Good yourself?
Speaker 9: Great?
Speaker 20: Right?
Speaker 3: Yeah, No, I was just wondering, do you think that
Speaker 3: Hersha will be the last three thousand strikeout?
Speaker 5: Picture we see.
Speaker 15: Whether that's right handed or left handed.
Speaker 8: Yeah, that's a great question, Andrew.
Speaker 9: I really hope not.
Speaker 8: But the way starting pitchers are being taken out of
Speaker 8: games these days and not allowed to face the lineup
Speaker 8: more than twice through, I mean, it's gonna be a
Speaker 8: challenge for a lot of guys.
Speaker 5: All right, So we're with with witnessing history right now.
Speaker 12: This might be the last one.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean for a while at least.
Speaker 8: Right I don't know who else is that close to
Speaker 8: three thousand strikeouts that might have a chance. You know,
Speaker 8: I'm looking up Chris right now as we speak. He
Speaker 8: has twenty five hundred and twenty eight strikeouts. I mean
Speaker 8: there's an outside chance he could possibly get it if
Speaker 8: he stays healthy. So yeah, this could be the last
Speaker 8: one for a while.
Speaker 9: Yep, thank you, all right. I'm glad you use your
Speaker 9: blinker when you make turns going left or right.
Speaker 8: Hey, yes, I do Land, Okay, Andrew be safe. Thanks
Speaker 8: for a phone call. Eight sixty six eight seven two
Speaker 8: five seventy is the phone number.
Speaker 9: Dodgers and Rockies in a rain delay game will resume.
Speaker 8: At eight twenty Pacific time, nine to twenty Mountain time,
Speaker 8: and unfortunately for both teams, the starting pitchers are going
Speaker 8: to be out of this game. Yoshi Yamamoto went five
Speaker 8: scoreless innings tonight with six strikeouts. His night is over,
Speaker 8: and Chase Dolander for the Rockies was dominating the Dodger lineup.
Speaker 8: It was unfortunate for Dolander and the Rockies that rain
Speaker 8: affected a pop up, a routine pop up for the
Speaker 8: second basement Thyro Estrada. That would have been the third
Speaker 8: out of the sixth Inny for Dolelander, but instead Estrada
Speaker 8: lost it in the rain, ball dropped two runs scored
Speaker 8: rushing in o'tone to give the Dodgers a two nothing lead,
Speaker 8: but I guess that's the way things are going for
Speaker 8: the Rockies, who are eighteen and sixty one on the season.
Speaker 8: Let's go out to Ohio. Jeff, listening on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 10: Hi, Jeff, Yeah, thank you for taking about call, David.
Speaker 10: I just wanted to call and say how much I
Speaker 10: enjoy your broadcast tonight. The shows that you do, the
Speaker 10: broadcasters on the radio. You know, ever since I get
Speaker 10: to watch the TV broadcast, the Dodgers are a one.
Speaker 10: I think it. It feeds down from the time when
Speaker 10: Ben was there. You know, I'm an old timer. I'm
Speaker 10: in my sixties now, so I loved all the old
Speaker 10: time announcers to Ben scullyes, that Ernie Harwells and and
Speaker 10: that Jack Bucks and then broadcasters that's who I brought
Speaker 10: up with. We was fortunates Cincinnati to have Al Michaels
Speaker 10: for three years and and uh so we've seen some
Speaker 10: good ones. But I just want to call him say
Speaker 10: that how much I enjoyed the broadcast. That's really not
Speaker 10: keep my FX radio just to listen to Dodgers night.
Speaker 8: That's awesome. Jeff, were you a Marty Brenneman fan as well.
Speaker 10: Not as much as a Michael stand because I was
Speaker 10: I was really disciplinsing Michael's lee. So maybe that Brenneman
Speaker 10: he I was all right with Marty, but Marty was
Speaker 10: never my favorite in Cincinnati. I mean, like I said,
Speaker 10: I'm a big al Michaels fan. Uh you know, I'm
Speaker 10: still my Al Michael's fan. And when they when they
Speaker 10: trash him about his football broadcast, I don't like that
Speaker 10: very well. But also I want to tell you I
Speaker 10: did tell your producer that when the Dodgers come to town,
Speaker 10: I'm a big Rick Mundy fan. I was back in
Speaker 10: the day, and I'd like to try to reach out
Speaker 10: to him when he's in town. So if yours anyway,
Speaker 10: then maybe I.
Speaker 9: Could get Rick to put on the headset right now.
Speaker 8: Since you're such a big fan of his, Rick, are
Speaker 8: you free to have a fan in Ohio tell you
Speaker 8: how much of a fan he is of yours.
Speaker 9: He's putting on the headset for you.
Speaker 8: Jeff hold On, Jeff in Ohio, an old school baseball fan,
Speaker 8: listen to Al Michaels rick broadcast Reds game, and he said,
Speaker 8: you're a big He's a big fan of yours.
Speaker 1: Al Michaels, an Arizona State Sun devil who used to
Speaker 1: be right behind home plate and do the Arizona State
Speaker 1: baseball games.
Speaker 9: Hey, here's your chance, Jeff in Ohio. That's Rick Monday, right.
Speaker 10: You played for Ron Dado.
Speaker 9: No I did not.
Speaker 1: I played for Bobby Winckles.
Speaker 19: No.
Speaker 1: Dato was at University of Soun of California, was a Trojan. No.
Speaker 1: I played at Arizona State for Bobby Winkles.
Speaker 10: Okay, all right, Bobby Winkles, y'all remember that name. But anyway,
Speaker 10: I was telling him the producer, I'd like to like
Speaker 10: to maybe meet you in Cincinnati when you come.
Speaker 8: This is the closest you're getting to meeting him. I
Speaker 8: just made it happen for you. You are meeting him right now.
Speaker 9: Well, we'll be there.
Speaker 1: I think I'm making the trip, and I have no
Speaker 1: idea what our schedule is going to be. But I
Speaker 1: will be there, and somehow, some way, we will we
Speaker 1: will lock eyes on one another somehow, someway.
Speaker 9: Jeff, this is way better than meeting him in person.
Speaker 10: Is there any way that I can reach out to
Speaker 10: you through the Dodgers or anything?
Speaker 8: No, you just reached out to him. I got him
Speaker 8: on the headset for you. You are reaching out to Rickman.
Speaker 1: Jeff, I don't even know when we're in Cincinnati, but
Speaker 1: he can send something to the Dodgers and to be
Speaker 1: forwarded to me. I guess that would work out good.
Speaker 9: All right, Jeff, Hey, well we got it a lot.
Speaker 1: We're still trying to Yeah, we're still trying to dry
Speaker 1: off our score books and hey everything else.
Speaker 8: It's like I served your lobster and now you want
Speaker 8: caveat Jeff.
Speaker 1: Great talking to yourself.
Speaker 10: Well, stay with the lobster. I'll keep the lobster. I'll
Speaker 10: like the gak you all.
Speaker 8: All right, Thank you, Thank you, Jeff. Thanks for doing that.
Speaker 8: Rick appreciate it. I try to be a dream maker again,
Speaker 8: you know. I try to make dreams come true. But
Speaker 8: sometimes people want more. They want seconds and thirds. Eight
Speaker 8: sixty six nine eighty seven two five seventy is the
Speaker 8: phone number Dodgers and Rockies in a rain delay top
Speaker 8: of the sixth inning with two outs.
Speaker 9: Two are in for the Dodgers.
Speaker 8: Next months, he will be at first base and taoscar
Speaker 8: Hernandez will be at the plate when play resumes at eight,
Speaker 8: twenty Pacific time. Let's go out to Van Eyes, the
Speaker 8: home of Don Drysdale. Erin you're on Dodger Talk. How
Speaker 8: you doing erin?
Speaker 1: Goodhead?
Speaker 5: Thank you for taking my Paul David, let me ask
Speaker 5: you a question.
Speaker 8: No hold on, no, no, no, we're not viewers, we're listeners.
Speaker 8: Number one, number two did you just hear me make
Speaker 8: dreams come true with Jeff and Ohio? But he wasn't satisfied,
Speaker 8: So I hope you don't make the same mistake.
Speaker 4: I was literally just about to say that I am
Speaker 4: doing your listeners, not viewers. My apologies that I will
Speaker 4: not be time to do stock Rick Monday anywhere in
Speaker 4: the new year.
Speaker 21: Two.
Speaker 9: Okay, well we appreciate that.
Speaker 4: Yes, I'm sure Rick does as well.
Speaker 9: Jeez.
Speaker 4: Anyway, my question was, is that with Max Munkey on
Speaker 4: such a good tear lately, considering that he does usually
Speaker 4: have a slow start typically every season, what is your
Speaker 4: thoughts on whether the Dodgers will keep him and resign.
Speaker 12: Them since this is his last season, or let.
Speaker 4: Him go the way of Walker Bueler and try and
Speaker 4: get a better offer.
Speaker 8: Man, that's so far down the line, erin, so much
Speaker 8: could happen between now and then. But I mean, we
Speaker 8: have said goodbye to a lot of guys that have
Speaker 8: a piece of Dodger fans hearts because of what they'd
Speaker 8: done with the team and in the postseason. I hope
Speaker 8: Max plays the rest of his career with the Dodgers,
Speaker 8: but that's to be determined after the season.
Speaker 4: Sure, sure, but just with them, you know, going younger
Speaker 4: with some of these other positions. Wondering because Max isn't
Speaker 4: getting at a younger and I love the guy, he's great,
Speaker 4: but you know, just wondering if they're looking toward like
Speaker 4: a younger option as they go forward.
Speaker 8: Yeah, the younger option would probably be some form of
Speaker 8: Alex Freeland, who's doing a great job at Oklahoma City.
Speaker 8: But it's hard to hand a job over like that
Speaker 8: to a young player. So I could actually and and
Speaker 8: Max has already done this. He has taken a discount
Speaker 8: to stay with the Dodgers the last two years. He
Speaker 8: wants to remain with the Dodgers, so you know, he
Speaker 8: will do everything on his end to be able to
Speaker 8: work with the team, to make it work for the
Speaker 8: Dodgers and play whatever role they need him to play.
Speaker 5: I hope. So I really do.
Speaker 4: And then just finally, what are your thoughts?
Speaker 8: You know, hold on one one thing before you go
Speaker 8: on to your next point. It's kind of ironic that
Speaker 8: we have a caller like you calling in now asking
Speaker 8: about how can the Dodgers keep Max Muncie when all
Speaker 8: I heard for the first three months of the season
Speaker 8: is how Tea, how everybody wanted Max month'sy out of town?
Speaker 9: How do you explain that.
Speaker 4: At least a little lot of fair Weather fans that
Speaker 4: just like success and when they don't get success, they
Speaker 4: want to go to the next best thing.
Speaker 8: So you weren't one of those guys that wanted Monthly
Speaker 8: out after the first two months of the year.
Speaker 4: I was not, no, because I know that he always
Speaker 4: turns the course, he turns the tide, and he turns
Speaker 4: it on in October.
Speaker 8: All right, eron fair enough? What else did you have?
Speaker 4: And my last question for you, David was Yamamoto. Do
Speaker 4: you still think he's in cy young talk? Considering how
Speaker 4: his seasons been going and the tough rakes he's been getting,
Speaker 4: especially in the win loss and you know, not getting
Speaker 4: run support.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think he's in the conversation. I wouldn't rule
Speaker 8: him out completely. But this month of June hasn't helped
Speaker 8: his case, I'll put it that way.
Speaker 4: No, I didn't think so. Yeah, I'd love to see him,
Speaker 4: you know, turn it around and the Dodgers actually score
Speaker 4: a couple of runs when he's on the mound. But
Speaker 4: you know, looking to do that's baseball. Every year seems
Speaker 4: like one pitcher's gotta take it.
Speaker 8: Yeah, and also he hasn't pitched well consistently at that
Speaker 8: cy young level like he did at the beginning the
Speaker 8: first two months of the year.
Speaker 9: So you know it's.
Speaker 8: Gonna be with with how much attention Paul Skeens gets,
Speaker 8: you're gonna have to be over the top outstanding to
Speaker 8: get the votes over Paul Skins.
Speaker 4: Yeah, very true, very true. Well, thank you, David. I
Speaker 4: appreciate you time, and once again on please stell rip Monday.
Speaker 4: My letter is not in.
Speaker 8: The mail, Okay, Aaron, thanks a lot for the phone call.
Speaker 8: Rick appreciates that. By the way, when you look at
Speaker 8: the top pitchers starting pitchers in the National League this year,
Speaker 8: Paul Skeens has an.
Speaker 9: ERA of two twelve.
Speaker 8: He already has one hundred and ten strikeouts and one
Speaker 8: hundred and six innings Zach Wheeler is a workhorse as well.
Speaker 8: Ninety nine innings, he has one hundred and twenty six strikeouts.
Speaker 8: Chris Sale, who was last year's Cy Young Winner, is
Speaker 8: doing it again. Fifteen starts, eighty nine innings, one hundred
Speaker 8: and fourteen strikeouts. So those three guys have had a
Speaker 8: better year than Yamamoto to date. Eight six six nine
Speaker 8: eight seven two five seventy is the phone number. We're
Speaker 8: going to be handing things back to Rick Monday and
Speaker 8: Tim Neverett in about fifteen minutes, so we'll take your
Speaker 8: phone calls until then.
Speaker 9: Let's go back out to the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 8: And Bob in Minneapolis, you're on Dodger Talk with David
Speaker 8: vasse Hi.
Speaker 11: Bob, Hey, David first, very cool interview with jj'spawn and
Speaker 11: really a humble guy, and I'm so happy that he's
Speaker 11: a Dodgers fan as well. Also wanted to just kind
Speaker 11: of reiterate with the great chef set in Ohio. My
Speaker 11: wife and I absolutely love your show, Your knowledge of
Speaker 11: the Dodgers, your insights are amazing. We listened to every
Speaker 11: podcast on Dodger Talk every single day, typically because you
Speaker 11: can roup got to bed, but really loved your show,
Speaker 11: and then lastly, our Freddy Freeman moment. I had a
Speaker 11: chance to go to the game, turned it down. My
Speaker 11: son from La flew to meet us in Chicago, where
Speaker 11: we were living at the time, and my other son
Speaker 11: from Chicago was there and the corpus watched.
Speaker 5: The game and it was incredible.
Speaker 11: It reminded me of the Gibe moment, which I was
Speaker 11: also remember very dearly as well.
Speaker 4: So anyway, great to talk with you.
Speaker 11: Keep up the great work and have a good.
Speaker 8: Evening, all right, Bob, thank you for sharing that memory.
Speaker 8: That's such a special moment for Dodger fans everywhere wherever
Speaker 8: you were when Freddy Freeman hit his walk off grand
Speaker 8: Slam in Game one of the twenty four World Series.
Speaker 9: You know, I was a kid in the San Fernando.
Speaker 8: Valley watching Game one of the eighty eight World Series,
Speaker 8: the Big Bad and Mighty A's that had Jose Conseco
Speaker 8: hit a grand Slam in that game off of Tim Belcher.
Speaker 8: At that time, no l phones or pagers, just our
Speaker 8: house phone, and a lot of people knew how big
Speaker 8: of a Dodger fan I was at eleven or twelve
Speaker 8: years old, and they were calling the house just pouring
Speaker 8: salt into the wound. As we were getting into the
Speaker 8: ninth inning of that game, and I had the last
Speaker 8: lap after Kirk Gibson hit that walk off home run
Speaker 8: against Dennis eckers Lee, one of the more improbable home
Speaker 8: runs in Major League Baseball history.
Speaker 9: That's for sure.
Speaker 8: Eight six six nine, eight seven two five seventy is
Speaker 8: the phone number, just as Vince Scully called it.
Speaker 9: In a season that was.
Speaker 8: So improbable, the impossible happened that night at Dodger Stadium,
Speaker 8: October fifteenth, nineteen eighty eight.
Speaker 9: Let's go out to Hawaii, Cheryl. Aloha, you're on Dodger Talk.
Speaker 9: How you doing, Cheryl?
Speaker 20: Hey, we just want to change some nice Hawaiian sunshine
Speaker 20: to you folks over there so we can resume the game.
Speaker 9: Love it. Yeah, it's gonna happen in about fifteen minutes,
Speaker 9: So thank you. Are you running in that? You always
Speaker 9: have sunshine?
Speaker 20: Kind of.
Speaker 9: At least you're honest. That was That was a humble brad, Cheryl.
Speaker 9: I have a friend like you.
Speaker 20: I live by the beach, so you know.
Speaker 9: Oh man making me jealous.
Speaker 8: If things work out, maybe I'll be there for the
Speaker 8: All Star break, Cheryl.
Speaker 20: Oh sounds good. Give us a holler, and then we'll
Speaker 20: cook you some good local food.
Speaker 9: Oh I love it, Cheryl. Thank you for the phone call.
Speaker 8: We got ten minutes before we hand things over to
Speaker 8: Rick Monday and Tim Neverett.
Speaker 9: And since we just.
Speaker 8: Had Cheryl from Hawaii call in and Kershaw's pitching tomorrow
Speaker 8: with eight strikeouts to go until he gets three thousand
Speaker 8: in his career, I'm gonna let you in on a
Speaker 8: huge dilemma I have right now. A few months ago,
Speaker 8: I had flights, flight credits. I mean, during the off season,
Speaker 8: I booked this trip. I wanted to get a head
Speaker 8: start on the All Star breaks, so taking the final
Speaker 8: two games of the first half off and was going
Speaker 8: to take my family because I had the flight credits.
Speaker 8: I had a little extra cash in my pocket for
Speaker 8: the Disney Alawani Hotel during the All Star break.
Speaker 9: But here's the dilemma.
Speaker 8: And I haven't told my wife about this dilemma. Hopefully
Speaker 8: she's not listening right now and doesn't podcast. Kershaw eight
Speaker 8: strikeouts away from three thousand in his career. If he
Speaker 8: doesn't get to three thousand tomorrow or in his next start,
Speaker 8: the next opportunity would be Saturday, likely in San Francisco.
Speaker 8: If that was the case, I would have to tell
Speaker 8: the family Hawaii's a no go. And I haven't told
Speaker 8: Kershaw this because he's got his kids on this trip.
Speaker 8: He's got a lot going on. My issues are not
Speaker 8: his issues. My job requirements are not his issues. But
Speaker 8: I need three thousand strikeouts by the next start that
Speaker 8: he makes.
Speaker 9: So that's my dilemma.
Speaker 8: Maybe one of you can make the phone Maybe Rick,
Speaker 8: here we go, my guy, Rick Monday. Maybe Rick Monday
Speaker 8: can make the phone call to my wife to let
Speaker 8: her know Hawaii has been postponed. If Kershaw is knocking
Speaker 8: on this door still for three thousand, that's Saturday before
Speaker 8: the All Star break. Maybe Rick Monday, with his smooth,
Speaker 8: consoling voice, can soften the blow. If that were the case,
Speaker 8: she'll send me a postcard. Hey, fair enough. I would
Speaker 8: take that. Eight six six nine eight seven two five
Speaker 8: seventy is the phone number. Let's go out to Southgate, Chris.
Speaker 8: What do you think about my dilemma?
Speaker 9: Chris?
Speaker 8: You think Kershaw is going to help me out and
Speaker 8: get three thousand and either tomorrow or his next start.
Speaker 9: I hope.
Speaker 12: So that would be great.
Speaker 9: Well, that's not very convincing.
Speaker 22: Chris, Well, you know I called to thank you and
Speaker 22: Jose Motive when you give updates about those's dad, because
Speaker 22: I was at a Manny Motive game when I was
Speaker 22: a punk kid of eight or nine years old when
Speaker 22: he got the record and he broke a career leader
Speaker 22: at that time and seventy eight or seventy nine. So
Speaker 22: that's a really good memory that I have as a
Speaker 22: kid being at that game and seeing that happen. So
Speaker 22: when you give updates on how he's doing and recovering, yes,
Speaker 22: it's a great thing when.
Speaker 21: And thinking back to those days. You know, I remember that,
Speaker 21: you know, the infield, the one that stayed together for
Speaker 21: seventy nine years or so with Gargy Lopes, with Russell
Speaker 21: and say and I have a question and I'll take
Speaker 21: it off. Yeah. Is there an equivalent after that?
Speaker 9: No, No, there is no equivalent to that. No, there isn't.
Speaker 8: I mean, that is so unique that with free agency now, Chris,
Speaker 8: we will never see it again, that's for sure. Thanks
Speaker 8: for the phone call, Chris, appreciated just seeing Justin Robleski
Speaker 8: and Will kleinb.
Speaker 9: Go out to the bullpen.
Speaker 8: Maybe they're gonna warm up for the bottom of the
Speaker 8: sixth inning because Yamamotos night's over, and certainly for the Rockies,
Speaker 8: Chase Dolanders night is over. Taoscar Hernandez is getting his
Speaker 8: betting gloves on, getting ready to take his at bat
Speaker 8: as we get closer to resuming this game. Top of
Speaker 8: the sixth inning with two outs, two in the Dodgers
Speaker 8: leading two to nothing, with Max Muncy at first base,
Speaker 8: Rick Monday and Tim Neverett standing by for the call
Speaker 8: coming up at eight twenty Pacific time, Let's go out
Speaker 8: to Ron and Camillo. You're on Dodger Talk.
Speaker 9: How you doing.
Speaker 13: I'm doing fantastic. How about you guys?
Speaker 9: Hey, we want baseball to get going. What's going on?
Speaker 13: All right? All right, well listen. I'm a third generation
Speaker 13: Dodger fans, born Dodger Blue. I'll start with my father.
Speaker 13: He was in the same class as Don Gresville at
Speaker 13: Danny High School. He was a quainting great and met
Speaker 13: him long after. And I was born in fifty fifth
Speaker 13: and raised on the Big Blue wrecking crew. I was
Speaker 13: at the game where the fourth Dodger hit their thirtieth
Speaker 13: home run and by hitting two of them, and I
Speaker 13: believe that was Reggie Smith or Dusty Baker, one of
Speaker 13: the two.
Speaker 9: Dusty Baker hit.
Speaker 8: His thirtieth home run on the last day of the
Speaker 8: regular season back in nineteen seventy seven to give the
Speaker 8: Dodgers the first quartet of teammates to hit thirty.
Speaker 13: I was at that game with my mom and.
Speaker 9: That's where the high five was born with Glynn Burke.
Speaker 13: There you go, There you go, and.
Speaker 9: Hey, there we go. Run. I got a run. I'm sorry.
Speaker 8: Eight six six, nine eighty seven, two five seventy is
Speaker 8: the phone number we got Dodger Baseball right around the corner.
Speaker 8: And before we turn things over to Rick Monday and
Speaker 8: Tim Nevertt again, just want to send out congratulations to
Speaker 8: former Dodger hitting coach and should be Hall of Famer
Speaker 8: Mark McGuire because it was announced today Mark McGuire is
Speaker 8: going to be inducted into the College Baseball Hall of Fame.
Speaker 8: Little known fact about Mark McGuire. He was recruited by
Speaker 8: Rod Dato to be a pitcher for USC, and in fact,
Speaker 8: McGuire pitched the first two years of college baseball at USC.
Speaker 8: He had an ERA of two ninety three and eighty
Speaker 8: three career innings as a reliever and a starter. He
Speaker 8: struck out fifty seven batters and he had two saves
Speaker 8: with a record of seven and five.
Speaker 9: How about that.
Speaker 8: In his USC career, Mark McGuire hit fifty four home
Speaker 8: runs and had a seven eighteen career slugging percentage. So
Speaker 8: congratulations to Mark McGuire, deserving honor to be inducted into
Speaker 8: College Baseball's Hall of Fame. As the Dodgers and Rockies
Speaker 8: get set for first pitch here at Corsfield or resuming play,
Speaker 8: we already had first pitch. We're getting ready to resume
Speaker 8: play here at Corsfield. The players are stretching, getting their
Speaker 8: sprints in, and Taascar Hernandez is getting ready to come
Speaker 8: to the plate with two outs and the top of
Speaker 8: the sixth inning with a two to nothing lead, and
Speaker 8: the Dodgers are very happy that Chase Dolander is out
Speaker 8: of this game because they had.
Speaker 9: No answers for him.
Speaker 8: They were able to get a gift two run single
Speaker 8: by Max Munsey due to the rain and thyro Estrada
Speaker 8: not being able to see because the rain was in
Speaker 8: his eyes. And in case you like to check the
Speaker 8: out of town scoreboard, top of the sixth inning in
Speaker 8: San Francisco, the Marlins are tied with the Giants two
Speaker 8: to two against Logan Web.
Speaker 9: Yeah, Logan Web.
Speaker 8: Is on the mound for the Giants, and they're tied
Speaker 8: two to two. And the Padres, by the way, held
Speaker 8: on to beat the Washington Nationals today one to nothing.
Speaker 8: The Padres are five games back of the Dodgers in
Speaker 8: the NL West, and right now as we speak, the
Speaker 8: Giants are four and a half games back of the
Speaker 8: Dodgers in the NL West, the Arizona Diamondbacks eight games back,
