Welcome the Dodger Talk David Vase with 22 00:00:59.240 --> 00:01:02.799 you until eleven thirty tonight, taking your phone calls at 23 00:01:02.799 --> 00:01:06.959 eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy. A 24 00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:11.000 fun game tonight either way Dodgers win, Dodgers lose. This 25 00:01:11.280 --> 00:01:16.040 was a very entertaining game. Tonight, four different lead changes 26 00:01:16.200 --> 00:01:19.079 and the one that matters the most the final score 27 00:01:19.239 --> 00:01:22.400 eight to seven and ten innings. Kirby eights with the win. 28 00:01:22.560 --> 00:01:26.920 Tanner Scott gets his twelfth save of the season. I 29 00:01:27.120 --> 00:01:30.319 love the at bats from the Dodgers, especially against Nick 30 00:01:30.359 --> 00:01:35.000 Pivetta tonight. They came out aggressive, especially in that third inning. 31 00:01:35.079 --> 00:01:37.959 You saw a lot of first pitch swinging and that's 32 00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:41.400 when they did their damage. Mookie Betts was our pregame 33 00:01:41.439 --> 00:01:44.519 guest today and we talked about him getting back to 34 00:01:44.560 --> 00:01:48.239 what made Mookie Betts the superstar. That he is being 35 00:01:48.319 --> 00:01:51.519 aggressive early in the count, swinging at the first pitch 36 00:01:51.519 --> 00:01:54.599 if it's a good one, and pulling for power. And 37 00:01:54.640 --> 00:01:57.599 despite Mookie only having one hit tonight, I thought his 38 00:01:57.719 --> 00:02:00.799 at bats were fantastic. I hope he keeps it going. 39 00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:04.519 I hope he continues to be aggressive early in the count. 40 00:02:04.920 --> 00:02:08.639 And by the way, since Mookie Betts came back after 41 00:02:08.719 --> 00:02:12.439 missing four games, he's hitting five hundred and he had 42 00:02:12.479 --> 00:02:15.039 the first home run for the Dodgers in a handful 43 00:02:15.080 --> 00:02:18.199 of games yesterday in Saint Louis. So I like what 44 00:02:18.280 --> 00:02:22.080 I'm seeing from Mookie Bets. Freddie Freeman three more hits Tonight. 45 00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:25.080 I thought Hay Sun Kim came up with one of 46 00:02:25.120 --> 00:02:27.520 the bigger hits of the game time the game in 47 00:02:27.560 --> 00:02:30.319 the fifth inning against Matt Suey, the lefty to score 48 00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:34.520 monthsie and that took us to extra inning. So I 49 00:02:34.599 --> 00:02:37.000 really like what I saw from the Dodger offense. And 50 00:02:37.039 --> 00:02:41.400 it's not surprising, right these two teams who really have 51 00:02:41.560 --> 00:02:44.719 not been playing their best baseball. The Padres have been 52 00:02:44.759 --> 00:02:49.439 struggling as well. The Dodgers offense a little inconsistent, especially 53 00:02:49.439 --> 00:02:54.280 with runners in scoring position, especially against the opposition starting pitchers. 54 00:02:54.759 --> 00:02:56.919 These two teams brought the best out of each other, 55 00:02:57.439 --> 00:03:00.319 and I'm not I feel confident in saying this. This 56 00:03:00.439 --> 00:03:03.120 is probably the best game the Padres have played in 57 00:03:03.159 --> 00:03:06.360 a few weeks. And certainly the Dodgers got back on 58 00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:08.919 the right track yesterday, but this was the best I'd 59 00:03:08.960 --> 00:03:13.680 seen them, probably since the Yankee series at Dodger Stadium. 60 00:03:13.800 --> 00:03:16.159 And how fun is the last two weeks have been 61 00:03:16.759 --> 00:03:20.199 of Dodger baseball, going back to that Yankee series, the 62 00:03:20.199 --> 00:03:24.520 four games against the Mets and this series against the Padres. 63 00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:27.719 There's four more coming up at Dodger Stadium. This has 64 00:03:27.800 --> 00:03:31.960 been really as entertaining and exciting and as up as 65 00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:35.199 you can be for regular season baseball in the month 66 00:03:35.240 --> 00:03:38.120 of the end of May beginning of June. It has 67 00:03:38.199 --> 00:03:41.759 been really fun. And I know there's been some disappointment 68 00:03:41.800 --> 00:03:46.080 and frustrations at times, but I can't think of another 69 00:03:46.199 --> 00:03:49.680 Dodger team that has been this entertaining and has brought 70 00:03:49.719 --> 00:03:53.120 so much attention to regular season games at this part 71 00:03:53.159 --> 00:03:56.599 of the season than this Dodger team. Eight six six 72 00:03:57.120 --> 00:04:00.199 seven two five seventy is the phone number. I see you. 73 00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:03.280 We will get to you, but first let's head downstairs 74 00:04:03.360 --> 00:04:06.120 to hear from the manager, Dave Roberts on Sports at 75 00:04:06.280 --> 00:04:07.879 La Resilience. 76 00:04:08.680 --> 00:04:09.039 It was. 77 00:04:09.479 --> 00:04:13.439 It wasn't a pretty game, to be quite honest, you know, 78 00:04:13.520 --> 00:04:16.480 but we found a way to win, got some hits 79 00:04:16.519 --> 00:04:18.720 when we needed to, made some pitches when we needed to, 80 00:04:19.560 --> 00:04:22.240 and you know, here against this ball club will take 81 00:04:22.519 --> 00:04:23.639 take it anyway we can get it. 82 00:04:23.720 --> 00:04:25.360 What were you seeing from dustin May? What do you 83 00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:27.639 think is kind of kept him off balanced throughout this one? 84 00:04:27.720 --> 00:04:28.720 You know, I don't know. 85 00:04:28.959 --> 00:04:33.000 I think that, you know, I think it's fair to 86 00:04:33.040 --> 00:04:36.439 say that I think emotions were part of it. I 87 00:04:36.439 --> 00:04:41.600 think that trying to manage his emotions internally. You know, 88 00:04:41.639 --> 00:04:44.879 this is the first big ball game that he's pitching 89 00:04:45.000 --> 00:04:46.639 in quite some time as far as kind of on 90 00:04:46.680 --> 00:04:49.120 the road in this type of environment where you've got 91 00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:52.000 to sort of manage emotions, And for me, it was 92 00:04:52.120 --> 00:04:57.519 kind of the strike throwing. The command clearly wasn't there, 93 00:04:58.279 --> 00:05:02.439 and it was good to see him find his way. 94 00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:04.959 And I felt that his last two innings were his 95 00:05:05.079 --> 00:05:09.680 best innings and that's the thing I'm really proud of 96 00:05:09.759 --> 00:05:12.000 and the fact that you know, you could have waived 97 00:05:12.000 --> 00:05:15.319 the white flag and you know, had to really tax 98 00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:17.839 our pen, but he found a way to get through 99 00:05:17.879 --> 00:05:20.680 five innings and put us in a position to win 100 00:05:20.720 --> 00:05:23.800 the game tonight as well as win a series. So 101 00:05:24.279 --> 00:05:26.399 for me, that was my message to him on the 102 00:05:26.439 --> 00:05:30.920 growth part of it. But it overall, sir, sure wasn't great. 103 00:05:32.040 --> 00:05:34.000 Talking about the atmosphere. Did it feel like you were 104 00:05:34.040 --> 00:05:35.600 back in October? 105 00:05:35.879 --> 00:05:39.160 You know, I just think that the fans, certainly, they're 106 00:05:39.160 --> 00:05:42.680 always into it. You get two good ball clubs. I 107 00:05:42.720 --> 00:05:46.160 think the way you saw Mike manage and with some 108 00:05:46.360 --> 00:05:51.040 urgency and kind of the moves and I wouldn't say 109 00:05:51.079 --> 00:05:53.920 playoff game, but it was it was intense. It was 110 00:05:53.959 --> 00:05:56.959 fun out there. 111 00:05:57.639 --> 00:06:00.439 Boost has been just having Amy b in this he's 112 00:06:00.439 --> 00:06:02.000 been in the last month and a half for you 113 00:06:02.079 --> 00:06:02.879 offission less. 114 00:06:02.879 --> 00:06:05.319 Really yeah, you know, it's been great. 115 00:06:06.120 --> 00:06:10.879 We have obviously have our you know, cemented, solidified stars, 116 00:06:12.519 --> 00:06:14.959 but also to have a young player now you can 117 00:06:15.040 --> 00:06:20.519 kind of expect contribution from and he's doing it consistently 118 00:06:20.600 --> 00:06:23.680 getting big hits. Moment doesn't get too big, and it 119 00:06:23.839 --> 00:06:27.040 just adds at length where you know, a lot of 120 00:06:27.040 --> 00:06:29.319 times they're going to pitch around some of those guys 121 00:06:29.319 --> 00:06:30.759 at the top of the order, but you need some 122 00:06:30.800 --> 00:06:33.600 guys to get big hits, and and he's continued to 123 00:06:33.639 --> 00:06:36.120 do that, and he's got a good, good pulse. 124 00:06:36.959 --> 00:06:39.439 Andy Pajz came up with a big hit in the 125 00:06:39.439 --> 00:06:42.800 tent thinning, a go ahead RBI in the tent thinning 126 00:06:42.879 --> 00:06:46.079 to break the tie, and then Tommy Edmund came up 127 00:06:46.079 --> 00:06:49.000 with a huge base it up the middle for a 128 00:06:49.079 --> 00:06:52.040 huge insurance run that proved to be the difference in 129 00:06:52.079 --> 00:06:55.160 the game because Tanner Scott gave up a run with 130 00:06:55.279 --> 00:06:59.199 the place runner at second base double to Jackson Merrill. 131 00:06:59.279 --> 00:07:02.079 And you know, maybe the biggest pitch he made was 132 00:07:02.120 --> 00:07:05.560 a questionable call from Mike Esterbrook. It was called a 133 00:07:05.639 --> 00:07:08.879 strike three on Manny Machado, but if you go back 134 00:07:08.920 --> 00:07:11.720 and look at it, it was borderline at best and 135 00:07:11.920 --> 00:07:15.720 probably ball four. But the Dodgers will take it. You 136 00:07:15.759 --> 00:07:18.000 need some of those breaks in a close game. And 137 00:07:18.480 --> 00:07:22.000 Dave Roberts is right, Mike Shildt took Nick Pavetta out 138 00:07:22.040 --> 00:07:24.879 of the game because the pitch count. The Dodgers got 139 00:07:24.920 --> 00:07:27.800 it up after four innings. He had thrown ninety three 140 00:07:27.839 --> 00:07:32.519 pitches and certainly credit the Dodger offense for forcing Pavetta 141 00:07:32.800 --> 00:07:35.639 to throw thirty one of those ninety three in the 142 00:07:35.720 --> 00:07:39.800 first inning alone. Eight six, six, seven, two five seventy 143 00:07:39.879 --> 00:07:42.800 is the phone number. Let's go out to Fountain Valley. Mike. 144 00:07:43.120 --> 00:07:45.560 You're on Dodger Talk Live from San Diego. 145 00:07:45.720 --> 00:07:50.240 Hi, Mike, Hi, David Danks for taking my call. Uh 146 00:07:50.879 --> 00:07:53.879 oh boy, what a stretch. Well, we're about to finish 147 00:07:53.959 --> 00:07:57.120 up this stretch of twenty nine games against playoff games, 148 00:07:57.560 --> 00:08:01.360 and you know we're still two games in first that's 149 00:08:01.720 --> 00:08:05.399 you know, that's saying a lot right now. But consistent 150 00:08:05.519 --> 00:08:09.800 hitting and clutch hitting tonight. But like like Dave Roberts said, 151 00:08:10.160 --> 00:08:14.240 Dustin May needs to manage his emotions. But this is 152 00:08:14.319 --> 00:08:17.560 like the biggest series right now of the year, and 153 00:08:17.600 --> 00:08:21.959 he throws fifty strikes. I mean, what is he doing 154 00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:25.000 in between starts? Is he throwing his regular bullpen session? 155 00:08:25.399 --> 00:08:28.879 Mike, I think it goes back to the emotions that 156 00:08:29.000 --> 00:08:33.159 Dustin May has. He tried to control those emotions maybe 157 00:08:33.159 --> 00:08:35.720 a little bit too much tonight. I thought that was 158 00:08:35.759 --> 00:08:38.240 going to be an issue tonight. I asked Dave Roberts 159 00:08:38.440 --> 00:08:41.399 about it before the game, and he talked about it 160 00:08:41.480 --> 00:08:44.200 just now postgames. So a lot of times, you know, 161 00:08:44.279 --> 00:08:48.559 Mike and Fountain Valley or David on Dodger Talk. You know, 162 00:08:48.600 --> 00:08:50.720 we're not pitching coaches year. I'm not going to get 163 00:08:50.759 --> 00:08:56.440 into pitching mechanics because that's out of my classification. But 164 00:08:56.559 --> 00:08:59.399 I know people, and I know pitchers, and I know demeanors, 165 00:08:59.440 --> 00:09:03.279 I know body language, and it just seemed like, uh, 166 00:09:03.559 --> 00:09:06.320 whatever he was trying to do to manage those emotions, 167 00:09:06.320 --> 00:09:11.240 it wasn't working because he wasn't just misfiring high or inside. 168 00:09:11.279 --> 00:09:14.679 He was misfiring all over the place. So, uh yeah, 169 00:09:14.720 --> 00:09:17.440 I just think that you got to give Dustin May 170 00:09:17.519 --> 00:09:20.120 some credit for going five innings despite all that. 171 00:09:21.360 --> 00:09:25.440 Yes, exactly so, and that's where the rebound, you know, 172 00:09:25.639 --> 00:09:28.639 after what was it after the fifth inning? We kept 173 00:09:28.639 --> 00:09:31.440 the Potters scoreless until the tenth inning. 174 00:09:32.360 --> 00:09:36.440 So yeah, Anthony Bonda came in big for two scoreless 175 00:09:36.440 --> 00:09:39.679 innings after Dustin May came out. I thought he came 176 00:09:39.759 --> 00:09:42.080 up big faced the bottom of the order and also 177 00:09:42.279 --> 00:09:44.519 got the top of the order out as well. That 178 00:09:44.639 --> 00:09:47.799 was a huge bridge to the back end of the game. 179 00:09:49.080 --> 00:09:51.720 And then one more question and I'm done, But I 180 00:09:51.720 --> 00:09:54.679 didn't get to watch the game yesterday. Did Michael Kopek 181 00:09:54.759 --> 00:09:55.399 get to pitch? 182 00:09:56.840 --> 00:09:59.399 Yeah, he pitched in the ninth inning and was hitting 183 00:09:59.480 --> 00:10:02.759 ninety seven miles an hours. So that's a good sign. 184 00:10:02.840 --> 00:10:06.679 So Copeck and Kirby Yates being back part of this 185 00:10:06.919 --> 00:10:11.320 Dodger bullpen is huge. Now you got Banda, you got Vessia, 186 00:10:11.679 --> 00:10:14.600 you got Dryer, you got Caspiraus, you got Yates, you 187 00:10:14.679 --> 00:10:18.240 got Copeck, you got Tanner Scott. That's a lot different 188 00:10:18.279 --> 00:10:21.960 than what we saw last week at Dodger Stadium. Let's 189 00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:25.000 go out to Las Vegas. Sergio. You're on Dodger Talk 190 00:10:25.120 --> 00:10:26.320 Live from Peco Park. 191 00:10:26.399 --> 00:10:30.879 Hi Sergio, Hey David, thanks for taking the call. A 192 00:10:30.919 --> 00:10:36.600 great game by Will Smith. The bullpen pod has came through. 193 00:10:37.919 --> 00:10:39.759 I was telling that your screen and I was kind 194 00:10:39.759 --> 00:10:44.000 of cracking or tracking Dust and May's pitches today, and 195 00:10:44.360 --> 00:10:47.879 even even on the TV broadcast, we're saying that his 196 00:10:48.039 --> 00:10:50.720 usage of the sweepers up this year over forty percent. 197 00:10:51.320 --> 00:10:53.679 And I noticed that he had really good results when 198 00:10:53.679 --> 00:10:56.519 he threw the forcing fastball. But I'm looking at my 199 00:10:56.639 --> 00:11:00.440 chart here, first thing, only two second and only three 200 00:11:00.799 --> 00:11:05.080 thirty only three? Why is he Why is the four 201 00:11:05.120 --> 00:11:07.080 seamer his usage so low this year? 202 00:11:08.440 --> 00:11:11.200 Yeah, that's a great question. Tonight he only threw it 203 00:11:11.320 --> 00:11:15.679 thirteen times, and he threw that sweeper forty times. The 204 00:11:16.039 --> 00:11:19.480 pitch that he loves to throw is that sinker. That's 205 00:11:19.519 --> 00:11:23.440 the fastball that he likes to throw. That's a great question. 206 00:11:23.639 --> 00:11:27.320 Maybe I'll ask him for you, Sergio and get the answer. 207 00:11:27.399 --> 00:11:30.039 But I don't have the answer right now. I could 208 00:11:30.080 --> 00:11:33.720 tell you this, like in I remember talking to him 209 00:11:33.799 --> 00:11:38.679 during the Freeway series. He loves that sweeper pitch against 210 00:11:38.799 --> 00:11:42.840 lefties because it runs in on him. So I can 211 00:11:42.919 --> 00:11:45.799 only imagine that, you know, he thought that that was 212 00:11:45.840 --> 00:11:49.120 a good pitch against Merrill and Gavin Sheets and Cronenworth 213 00:11:49.200 --> 00:11:52.440 and Wade. Maybe that's the reason why and arise. So 214 00:11:52.519 --> 00:11:54.600 there were a lot of lefties in the lineup tonight. 215 00:11:55.080 --> 00:11:58.240 Maybe that's what the pitch he thought he could neutralize 216 00:11:58.279 --> 00:12:01.120 those lefties with. But he he was just all over 217 00:12:01.159 --> 00:12:02.879 the place with his pitches today. 218 00:12:04.200 --> 00:12:07.000 Yeah, but he got it out five innings for us. 219 00:12:07.159 --> 00:12:09.360 I mean at this point, that's what we need. At 220 00:12:09.440 --> 00:12:11.000 least he get five to six from the starter to 221 00:12:11.039 --> 00:12:14.879 get to the pen. Amazing job by Banda, two innings. 222 00:12:15.440 --> 00:12:16.919 The whole bullpen did a great job today. 223 00:12:16.960 --> 00:12:17.399 Thanks BV. 224 00:12:18.440 --> 00:12:21.759 All right, Sergie, I'll get that answer for you. And look, yeah, 225 00:12:21.840 --> 00:12:25.200 he gave the Dodgers five innings. But again, I think 226 00:12:25.240 --> 00:12:29.399 we always undersell the Dodger offense. And when I talk 227 00:12:29.440 --> 00:12:33.120 about being spoiled, we're spoiled because we see this Dodger 228 00:12:33.200 --> 00:12:37.279 offense every night. But the reality is it's an offense 229 00:12:37.559 --> 00:12:42.399 opposing pitchers don't want to see. And yeah, sometimes they 230 00:12:42.480 --> 00:12:47.000 don't perform up to our levels of expectations or what 231 00:12:47.039 --> 00:12:50.639 they've done the entire season. But the Dodgers scored eight 232 00:12:50.720 --> 00:12:54.399 runs tonight. The offense won this game, and so did 233 00:12:54.399 --> 00:12:55.000 the bullpen. 234 00:12:55.080 --> 00:12:55.440 Tonight. 235 00:12:55.879 --> 00:12:58.440 Let's go out to Saint Louis.

But that was 251 00:13:48.120 --> 00:13:50.240 so weird. What was the issue. 252 00:13:51.320 --> 00:13:55.679 Because he he came like, I don't think most third 253 00:13:55.720 --> 00:13:57.000 basemen would be there. 254 00:13:58.080 --> 00:14:03.480 He seems he shift. Yeah, they pinched. They get as 255 00:14:03.519 --> 00:14:07.519 close as they can behind second base, you know, they 256 00:14:07.559 --> 00:14:10.600 get as close as they can to pinch up the middle. 257 00:14:11.080 --> 00:14:13.720 And there were a couple of different plays when there 258 00:14:13.799 --> 00:14:16.399 was a left hander up and Machada would be playing 259 00:14:16.840 --> 00:14:19.200 around the shortstop area. That's where he was when that 260 00:14:19.279 --> 00:14:21.159 ball dropped. They couldn't see it. 261 00:14:22.200 --> 00:14:25.399 Okay, I was watching, I'm like, where the hell did 262 00:14:25.480 --> 00:14:29.240 that guy come from?

Yeah, And there 265 00:14:35.080 --> 00:14:38.600 was another play where there many was the base runner 266 00:14:38.639 --> 00:14:41.440 at second base. There were two outs, a ground ball 267 00:14:41.559 --> 00:14:46.120 hit by uh I believe it was Merrill in that 268 00:14:46.240 --> 00:14:50.840 inning where Manny Machada was at second base and he 269 00:14:50.919 --> 00:14:54.960 tried to screen out Mookie Betts when he was actually 270 00:14:55.080 --> 00:14:58.080 was in the first inning. Yeah, first inning, Gavin Sheets 271 00:14:58.159 --> 00:15:02.360 HiT's a ground ball to Mookie Bets. Alright, Sorry, it 272 00:15:02.399 --> 00:15:06.759 was Bogarts. Bogarts hit the groundball to Mookie Bets, and Machado, 273 00:15:07.639 --> 00:15:11.639 being Manny Machado, was trying to screen out Mooky Bets 274 00:15:11.919 --> 00:15:14.919 on that play. Mooky did not flinch. He was able 275 00:15:14.960 --> 00:15:17.519 to make a strong throw to Freddie Freeman to get 276 00:15:17.519 --> 00:15:19.879 the final out of that first inning. But on the 277 00:15:19.919 --> 00:15:22.840 way back from right field, ta Oscar Hernandez and Manny 278 00:15:22.879 --> 00:15:26.720 Machado had a few words with each other because ta 279 00:15:26.759 --> 00:15:30.279 Oscar saw him try to screen Mookie Bets right there. 280 00:15:30.360 --> 00:15:33.759 So just a little inside inside of the game that 281 00:15:33.799 --> 00:15:36.600 I was picking up in that first inning eight six 282 00:15:36.679 --> 00:15:40.159 sixne eight seven two five seventy is the phone number. 283 00:15:40.360 --> 00:15:42.759 We're gonna take a time out here on Dodger Talk. 284 00:15:42.799 --> 00:15:45.639 When we come back, we'll hear from Will Smith and 285 00:15:45.679 --> 00:15:48.039 Tanner Scott, and we'll take more of your phone calls 286 00:15:48.080 --> 00:15:51.720 at eight sixty six nine, eight seven two five seventy plus. 287 00:15:51.960 --> 00:15:54.639 You'll hear from Tony Gonsolin and what the Dodgers are 288 00:15:54.720 --> 00:15:58.360 going to do to plug his spot in the rotation, 289 00:15:58.639 --> 00:16:01.600 because he is not going to be out just days, 290 00:16:01.639 --> 00:16:06.039 but it's weeks with that right elbow discomfort.

But 295 00:16:20.120 --> 00:16:22.879 they hold on tonight eight to seven and ten innings 296 00:16:22.879 --> 00:16:30.440 over the padres on a five to seventy LA Sports. 297 00:16:32.960 --> 00:16:36.200 Dodger Talk is available on AM five seventy LA sports 298 00:16:36.200 --> 00:16:40.200 dot com, hand on the iHeartRadio app Back to more 299 00:16:40.360 --> 00:16:43.759 Dodger Talk with Dodger insider David Basse. 300 00:16:47.639 --> 00:16:51.080 Freddy Freeman also tagged in advance, going from second to third, 301 00:16:51.240 --> 00:16:54.759 so he's ninety feet away, only one out.

Daniels Jewelers own the Dream. Eight six 316 00:17:41.119 --> 00:17:44.480 six nine, eight seven two five seventy is the phone number. 317 00:17:44.799 --> 00:17:46.960 By the way, I wish the Dodgers would have taken 318 00:17:47.000 --> 00:17:50.039 the lead in the eighth inning, only for the baseball 319 00:17:50.119 --> 00:17:55.720 gods to really make Adrian Mora Hoone pay for being 320 00:17:55.880 --> 00:18:00.359 so cocky. After Shoho Tani hit a comebacker to him, 321 00:18:00.680 --> 00:18:03.640 he kind of shrugs, said, oh all right, I got you, Otani, 322 00:18:04.039 --> 00:18:07.480 and then proceeded to throw the ball away and O'tani 323 00:18:08.079 --> 00:18:10.680 noticed it and was aggressive going all the way to 324 00:18:10.759 --> 00:18:14.039 second base. I would have loved for the Dodgers to 325 00:18:14.119 --> 00:18:17.000 score the goal ahead run in that eighth inning. Mike 326 00:18:17.079 --> 00:18:21.319 Schilt made a smart move because Mora Hone versus Mookie 327 00:18:21.319 --> 00:18:24.720 Betts was not a good matchup, so he walked Mooki 328 00:18:24.799 --> 00:18:28.359 intentionally and Freddie Freeman struck out to end the eighth inning. 329 00:18:28.400 --> 00:18:30.920 But that would have been sweet as well. Let's head 330 00:18:30.920 --> 00:18:34.319 downstairs right now to hear from Dodger catcher Will Smith 331 00:18:34.440 --> 00:18:35.599 on sports Net LA. 332 00:18:36.039 --> 00:18:38.759 Yeah, it's it's always fun games.

But 369 00:19:53.720 --> 00:19:55.000 he was able to keep us in the ball game 370 00:19:55.480 --> 00:19:56.839 and go out there and compete, eat up a couple 371 00:19:56.839 --> 00:19:59.880 of innings, five innings, and uh, you know, keep us there. 372 00:20:01.200 --> 00:20:04.039 All right.

I'd say there's 377 00:20:18.119 --> 00:20:22.599 a Will Smith tone as far as interviews go. He's 378 00:20:22.960 --> 00:20:25.440 he's the baseline and he never gets too high. He 379 00:20:25.480 --> 00:20:27.759 never gets too low. You either got to go way 380 00:20:27.799 --> 00:20:30.440 above on the spectrum on Will, or you gotta go 381 00:20:30.759 --> 00:20:35.240 way below. But he's always consistent. Eight six six seven 382 00:20:35.319 --> 00:20:38.119 two five seventy is the phone number. Dodgers beat the 383 00:20:38.160 --> 00:20:42.119 Padres tonight eight to seven in ten innings. Let's go 384 00:20:42.200 --> 00:20:45.279 out to my neighborhood, Woodland Hills a mirror. You're on 385 00:20:45.400 --> 00:20:46.599 Dodger Talk. How you doing a. 386 00:20:46.519 --> 00:20:50.000 Mere good Dave, how you doing? Thanks for taking my call. 387 00:20:50.440 --> 00:20:54.319 I had one comment and one question I wanted to say. 388 00:20:55.240 --> 00:20:58.079 I really like what Bandit did out there tonight, going 389 00:20:58.119 --> 00:21:01.519 two innings and relief. I feel like he's kind of 390 00:21:01.519 --> 00:21:05.759 building confidence in the last you know week. Guys were 391 00:21:05.799 --> 00:21:07.799 getting on him early in the season when he was 392 00:21:07.799 --> 00:21:10.440 having a little trouble, so it was good to see him, uh, 393 00:21:10.720 --> 00:21:14.559 you know, pitch two innings in that spot. And then my. 394 00:21:14.640 --> 00:21:16.559 Question is, do you know. 395 00:21:18.440 --> 00:21:22.240 What the timelines are for our bullpen for when we're 396 00:21:22.279 --> 00:21:25.240 fully healthy, like when we get Graderol trying in. Is 397 00:21:25.279 --> 00:21:28.480 there a chance we get one healthy? When would that be? 398 00:21:30.319 --> 00:21:33.400 Yeah, that's a great question. There's no guarantees either one 399 00:21:33.440 --> 00:21:36.680 are going to come back, but if they do, it'll 400 00:21:36.720 --> 00:21:39.039 be the second half of the season a mirror. 401 00:21:40.359 --> 00:21:41.119
