5
00:00:15.480 --> 00:00:19.399
<v Speaker 2>We are live at Dodgers Stadium after the Dodgers defeat

6
00:00:19.440 --> 00:00:23.280
<v Speaker 2>the Cleveland Guardians by a final score of seven to two.

7
00:00:24.120 --> 00:00:27.480
<v Speaker 2>Welcome the Dodger Talk David Vase with you until ten

8
00:00:27.559 --> 00:00:31.559
<v Speaker 2>o'clock on this beautiful Saturday night in Los Angeles. I

9
00:00:31.600 --> 00:00:35.039
<v Speaker 2>know a little hot today, I know a little hot lately,

10
00:00:35.159 --> 00:00:40.320
<v Speaker 2>but still the best city in America, Beautiful Los Angeles,

11
00:00:40.359 --> 00:00:43.399
<v Speaker 2>and no better place to be than at Dodgers Stadium

12
00:00:43.679 --> 00:00:47.439
<v Speaker 2>watching the Dodgers score six runs in the first inning

13
00:00:47.960 --> 00:00:52.320
<v Speaker 2>against the Cleveland Guardians and their starting pitcher Gavin Williams.

14
00:00:52.719 --> 00:00:55.640
<v Speaker 2>Tommy Edman, who was hitting fifth tonight, came up with

15
00:00:55.679 --> 00:00:59.159
<v Speaker 2>the bases loaded and he had a two run double.

16
00:00:59.479 --> 00:01:03.200
<v Speaker 2>It did not stopped there. Andy Pajs capped off the

17
00:01:03.359 --> 00:01:06.319
<v Speaker 2>six run first st inning with a two run home run,

18
00:01:06.719 --> 00:01:10.599
<v Speaker 2>and that was perfect to the Dodgers game plan of

19
00:01:10.760 --> 00:01:15.560
<v Speaker 2>having a bullpen game where they used seven different pitchers tonight,

20
00:01:16.040 --> 00:01:20.560
<v Speaker 2>starting with Ryan Brasier. And ending with Brent Honeywell, who

21
00:01:20.640 --> 00:01:24.280
<v Speaker 2>only won his third major league game of his career.

22
00:01:24.599 --> 00:01:27.159
<v Speaker 2>I could not believe that when I checked to see

23
00:01:27.159 --> 00:01:29.879
<v Speaker 2>how many wins he had in his career, it was

24
00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:32.840
<v Speaker 2>only his third and it was the first of this season,

25
00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:36.480
<v Speaker 2>the first since early last year when he was pitching

26
00:01:36.680 --> 00:01:40.799
<v Speaker 2>for the Padres. So I guess, as we do in

27
00:01:40.879 --> 00:01:45.079
<v Speaker 2>football with offensive lineman roll call, let's do a bullpen

28
00:01:45.239 --> 00:01:48.400
<v Speaker 2>roll call of the pitchers that got the Dodgers a

29
00:01:48.519 --> 00:01:53.680
<v Speaker 2>seven to two win. Ryan Brasier, Michael Grove, Justin Robleski,

30
00:01:54.079 --> 00:01:59.719
<v Speaker 2>Blake Trinen, Alex Vesia, Michael Kopek, and Brent Honeywell. Those

31
00:01:59.799 --> 00:02:04.040
<v Speaker 2>are are your seven Dodger pitchers roll call that threw

32
00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:07.319
<v Speaker 2>in the game tonight that helped the Dodgers secure a

33
00:02:07.519 --> 00:02:11.879
<v Speaker 2>seven to two win over the Guardians. Mookie Betts continues

34
00:02:11.960 --> 00:02:15.879
<v Speaker 2>to roll. He hit a solo home run tonight in

35
00:02:15.960 --> 00:02:18.759
<v Speaker 2>the bottom of the fourth inning. He was on base

36
00:02:18.840 --> 00:02:22.360
<v Speaker 2>in the first inning, part of three consecutive walks by

37
00:02:22.439 --> 00:02:28.080
<v Speaker 2>Gavin Williams, when Tommy Edmund doubled two runs in, including Mookie.

38
00:02:28.439 --> 00:02:32.280
<v Speaker 2>Let's head downstairs right now to hear from Mookie Betts.

39
00:02:32.319 --> 00:02:36.439
<v Speaker 3>Well, I mean patter who was against didn't get out

40
00:02:36.479 --> 00:02:39.599
<v Speaker 3>and score six. That's always going to be a good

41
00:02:39.639 --> 00:02:40.919
<v Speaker 3>rest reciped winning game.

42
00:02:42.039 --> 00:02:44.159
<v Speaker 4>Could you tell their start of the struggle in there with.

43
00:02:44.159 --> 00:02:45.319
<v Speaker 5>His control first time?

44
00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:46.159
<v Speaker 2>Uh?

45
00:02:47.879 --> 00:02:50.919
<v Speaker 3>I mean going through it not didn't really pay much

46
00:02:50.960 --> 00:02:54.400
<v Speaker 3>attention to it until the PitchCom got high. But you

47
00:02:54.400 --> 00:02:58.159
<v Speaker 3>know he was still a pitcher two away from getting

48
00:02:58.159 --> 00:02:58.599
<v Speaker 3>out of it.

49
00:02:58.639 --> 00:02:59.000
<v Speaker 1>But we.

50
00:03:00.639 --> 00:03:03.639
<v Speaker 3>When we stood firm.

51
00:03:02.479 --> 00:03:04.919
<v Speaker 6>Sixteen runs since we came back, you know, just the

52
00:03:05.000 --> 00:03:07.319
<v Speaker 6>hand injury twenty I.

53
00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:08.039
<v Speaker 2>Think it's twenty three.

54
00:03:08.199 --> 00:03:11.319
<v Speaker 3>Garb guys in twenty fourteen, you kind of hit the

55
00:03:11.319 --> 00:03:12.879
<v Speaker 3>ground running since you came back.

56
00:03:12.919 --> 00:03:14.919
<v Speaker 5>As does that surprise you?

57
00:03:14.919 --> 00:03:15.479
<v Speaker 3>What all for?

58
00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:15.759
<v Speaker 2>Shit?

59
00:03:15.879 --> 00:03:16.039
<v Speaker 3>Now?

60
00:03:16.680 --> 00:03:16.840
<v Speaker 7>Uh?

61
00:03:17.080 --> 00:03:19.000
<v Speaker 3>No, I don't care about none of that. As long

62
00:03:19.039 --> 00:03:22.520
<v Speaker 3>as you win. Well, I guess that's all I care about. Again,

63
00:03:22.560 --> 00:03:24.319
<v Speaker 3>like I've always said, I gotta do when it matters.

64
00:03:24.719 --> 00:03:26.879
<v Speaker 4>Some of you guys come back to the hand injuries,

65
00:03:26.919 --> 00:03:28.039
<v Speaker 4>to the powers of philoscopy.

66
00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:28.639
<v Speaker 7>Come back though.

67
00:03:28.960 --> 00:03:30.400
<v Speaker 2>That's why I sort of back in your mind.

68
00:03:30.520 --> 00:03:32.759
<v Speaker 4>They want to make sure that that was still kind

69
00:03:32.800 --> 00:03:33.759
<v Speaker 4>of better right off the back.

70
00:03:33.800 --> 00:03:35.360
<v Speaker 3>Fee you No, absolutely not.

71
00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:37.240
<v Speaker 5>Again.

72
00:03:37.520 --> 00:03:39.840
<v Speaker 3>Uh, I mean, we just wanted to make sure I

73
00:03:39.879 --> 00:03:42.240
<v Speaker 3>was healthy and being the best.

74
00:03:42.360 --> 00:03:42.879
<v Speaker 4>Uh.

75
00:03:43.479 --> 00:03:46.719
<v Speaker 3>Put the best Smookie out there and been doing okay

76
00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:49.080
<v Speaker 3>so far. With the rotation as thin as it is,

77
00:03:49.919 --> 00:03:52.159
<v Speaker 3>it is important to maybe take the heat off the

78
00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:56.080
<v Speaker 3>pitching staff in general. Uh, women anying like that they started. Uh,

79
00:03:56.199 --> 00:03:58.240
<v Speaker 3>it didn't matter if we were fully healthy. Man, we

80
00:03:58.280 --> 00:04:01.840
<v Speaker 3>gotta Uh, anytime we can put together a beginning, it's gonna.

81
00:04:02.080 --> 00:04:03.680
<v Speaker 3>Like I said, it'd be a good recipe to win,

82
00:04:05.080 --> 00:04:08.759
<v Speaker 3>but especially with the short there, I mean, it's good

83
00:04:08.800 --> 00:04:12.680
<v Speaker 3>to I mean, really, guess ahead. We still had to

84
00:04:12.719 --> 00:04:15.360
<v Speaker 3>go and kind of go through the bullpen, but those

85
00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:16.319
<v Speaker 3>of the cars were dope.

86
00:04:16.600 --> 00:04:18.680
<v Speaker 5>Is there a conversation amongst you guys when I guess

87
00:04:18.720 --> 00:04:20.639
<v Speaker 5>the offense kind of cools off like it has the

88
00:04:20.720 --> 00:04:24.000
<v Speaker 5>last we'll say, a couple of games, and especially when

89
00:04:24.040 --> 00:04:25.560
<v Speaker 5>you do have a damn you guys can get things

90
00:04:25.639 --> 00:04:26.120
<v Speaker 5>going again.

91
00:04:26.199 --> 00:04:27.800
<v Speaker 2>Is there a conversation amongst you guys?

92
00:04:28.279 --> 00:04:28.480
<v Speaker 4>No?

93
00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:32.399
<v Speaker 3>Absolutely, I mean then we got like fifteen hits for

94
00:04:32.519 --> 00:04:34.959
<v Speaker 3>four or five games in a row, so I can't

95
00:04:34.959 --> 00:04:38.360
<v Speaker 3>really expect that to last. But you can't expect us

96
00:04:38.360 --> 00:04:41.199
<v Speaker 3>to go out there and put in the work and

97
00:04:41.800 --> 00:04:44.040
<v Speaker 3>do what it takes to win ball games. And so

98
00:04:45.399 --> 00:04:46.319
<v Speaker 3>luckily we did today.

99
00:04:47.160 --> 00:04:50.519
<v Speaker 2>Mookie Betts has been putting in work all season long

100
00:04:50.720 --> 00:04:53.720
<v Speaker 2>since coming back from the injured list and missing six

101
00:04:53.800 --> 00:04:57.680
<v Speaker 2>weeks after getting hit by a pitch on his left wrist.

102
00:04:58.040 --> 00:05:02.160
<v Speaker 2>He is hitting three eleven with home runs twenty three RBIs,

103
00:05:02.480 --> 00:05:05.879
<v Speaker 2>and he has scored fifteen times. Oh, by the way,

104
00:05:06.120 --> 00:05:09.720
<v Speaker 2>he's hitting over three point eighty with runners in scoring position.

105
00:05:10.240 --> 00:05:13.439
<v Speaker 2>And that's why I'm still a firm believer that Otani,

106
00:05:13.519 --> 00:05:16.439
<v Speaker 2>who is on his way to becoming the first player

107
00:05:16.480 --> 00:05:19.920
<v Speaker 2>in baseball history to hit fifty home runs and steal

108
00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:24.399
<v Speaker 2>fifty bases, should be the National League MVP. But to me,

109
00:05:24.800 --> 00:05:28.839
<v Speaker 2>Mookie Betts is still the MVP of the Dodgers. We

110
00:05:28.920 --> 00:05:31.040
<v Speaker 2>saw how much they missed him while he was out

111
00:05:31.040 --> 00:05:34.279
<v Speaker 2>for those six weeks. He comes back, He's not the

112
00:05:34.360 --> 00:05:37.959
<v Speaker 2>leadoff hitter anymore. He says, okay, I'll hit second. He

113
00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:41.160
<v Speaker 2>has thrived and embraced it. And when he came back,

114
00:05:41.199 --> 00:05:45.439
<v Speaker 2>they said, or he actually acknowledged, you know what, shortstops

115
00:05:45.480 --> 00:05:48.560
<v Speaker 2>not for me. I'm headed back to right field. It's

116
00:05:48.560 --> 00:05:51.240
<v Speaker 2>time for Miguel Rojas to take over the rest of

117
00:05:51.279 --> 00:05:56.680
<v Speaker 2>the way. And without Mooki Betts playing moving around, hitting

118
00:05:56.759 --> 00:06:00.120
<v Speaker 2>at an MVP level before he got hurt, and did

119
00:06:00.319 --> 00:06:02.839
<v Speaker 2>he got hurt? The Dodgers would not be in this

120
00:06:02.920 --> 00:06:06.040
<v Speaker 2>position to be able to say they have a magic

121
00:06:06.160 --> 00:06:10.240
<v Speaker 2>number of fifteen with only twenty games to go. Eight

122
00:06:10.360 --> 00:06:13.279
<v Speaker 2>six six nine, eight, seven two five seventy is the

123
00:06:13.319 --> 00:06:17.519
<v Speaker 2>phone number. Dodgers beat Cleveland tonight seven to two. Let's

124
00:06:17.519 --> 00:06:20.279
<v Speaker 2>go out to Huntington Beach. Rob, you're on Dodger Talk.

125
00:06:20.319 --> 00:06:21.079
<v Speaker 2>How you doing? Rob?

126
00:06:22.240 --> 00:06:26.920
<v Speaker 6>Hello? David. Personally, I believe that Hotani, as gray as

127
00:06:26.920 --> 00:06:30.720
<v Speaker 6>he is, he should be batting fourth. The Dodger lineup

128
00:06:30.759 --> 00:06:38.079
<v Speaker 6>should be Dutch Freeman, Hernandez, Hotani, Smith, Munsey, Edmunds, Lux

129
00:06:38.560 --> 00:06:42.720
<v Speaker 6>and Rojas. They should never Platune Munsey. He needs too

130
00:06:42.759 --> 00:06:45.879
<v Speaker 6>many reps, too few games left in the season. He

131
00:06:46.279 --> 00:06:49.920
<v Speaker 6>should be playing every day, and Hotani disappears in a

132
00:06:49.920 --> 00:06:52.600
<v Speaker 6>lot of games he goes, and a lot of games.

133
00:06:52.600 --> 00:06:56.360
<v Speaker 6>As grazy is, you should never be batten first. With

134
00:06:56.519 --> 00:06:59.639
<v Speaker 6>twenty games left, the Dodgers are in jeopardy of losing

135
00:06:59.639 --> 00:07:04.000
<v Speaker 6>the box and a home field advantage.

136
00:07:04.560 --> 00:07:07.879
<v Speaker 2>They're not in jeopardy of losing the buy. There are

137
00:07:07.920 --> 00:07:11.160
<v Speaker 2>three games ahead of the Brewers. No, if you will,

138
00:07:11.560 --> 00:07:14.560
<v Speaker 2>you're spouting off a lot of things that's not accurate.

139
00:07:15.160 --> 00:07:19.160
<v Speaker 2>Number one, It's worked out really well with Otani leading off.

140
00:07:19.560 --> 00:07:21.759
<v Speaker 2>Number two, Are you trying to tell all of us

141
00:07:21.839 --> 00:07:24.839
<v Speaker 2>you don't want Otani hitting in the top three so

142
00:07:24.879 --> 00:07:26.920
<v Speaker 2>we get hit in the first inning and get more

143
00:07:26.959 --> 00:07:30.439
<v Speaker 2>at bats than anybody else sitting four, five, or six.

144
00:07:30.839 --> 00:07:34.079
<v Speaker 2>Number two, you just gave misinformation by saying they're in

145
00:07:34.199 --> 00:07:37.199
<v Speaker 2>danger of losing the bye. Not only are they tied

146
00:07:37.240 --> 00:07:39.519
<v Speaker 2>with the Phillies for the best record in the National

147
00:07:39.600 --> 00:07:42.519
<v Speaker 2>League the top seed, but they are three games ahead

148
00:07:42.519 --> 00:07:45.279
<v Speaker 2>of the Brewers in the lost column for the number

149
00:07:45.319 --> 00:07:48.680
<v Speaker 2>two seed, which would still ensure them the first round.

150
00:07:48.680 --> 00:07:53.120
<v Speaker 2>By I'm not saying, there's twenty games left in the

151
00:07:53.160 --> 00:07:55.600
<v Speaker 2>season and they're playing pretty well and they're going to

152
00:07:55.639 --> 00:07:57.639
<v Speaker 2>get back their two top pitchers.

153
00:07:58.079 --> 00:08:00.879
<v Speaker 6>What what are you saying that hotan he would have

154
00:08:01.000 --> 00:08:03.680
<v Speaker 6>more opportunities with men on base if he batted fourth.

155
00:08:04.800 --> 00:08:08.360
<v Speaker 2>You know, but they or may not there. It's a

156
00:08:08.399 --> 00:08:10.959
<v Speaker 2>fair argument, Rob, But if you were to tell me

157
00:08:11.519 --> 00:08:14.639
<v Speaker 2>Otani hitting third, I might be more open to it

158
00:08:14.680 --> 00:08:17.480
<v Speaker 2>than hitting fourth. I understand what you're saying. You want

159
00:08:17.519 --> 00:08:20.480
<v Speaker 2>the big dog to eat and have more runners on base,

160
00:08:20.639 --> 00:08:24.240
<v Speaker 2>But uh, for a guy that's stealing fifty bases. He's

161
00:08:24.240 --> 00:08:28.000
<v Speaker 2>getting in scoring position for Freddy and Mookie. So it's

162
00:08:28.079 --> 00:08:30.959
<v Speaker 2>worked out better than I imagine it working out.

163
00:08:31.319 --> 00:08:34.480
<v Speaker 6>You have to concede that, Yes, that's true, but you

164
00:08:34.519 --> 00:08:37.200
<v Speaker 6>go left right, left, right, left right. That's why Tani

165
00:08:37.240 --> 00:08:39.639
<v Speaker 6>would be batt and fourth. You can put Hernande's third,

166
00:08:39.679 --> 00:08:40.320
<v Speaker 6>and I.

167
00:08:40.279 --> 00:08:42.960
<v Speaker 2>Don't want I don't want Hernandez hitting third. He strikes

168
00:08:42.960 --> 00:08:47.120
<v Speaker 2>out too much well, and he does. He clogs the

169
00:08:47.159 --> 00:08:50.200
<v Speaker 2>bases too. I don't want him hitting third. I don't

170
00:08:50.200 --> 00:08:52.840
<v Speaker 2>want him having more at bats in the game than show.

171
00:08:52.919 --> 00:08:57.240
<v Speaker 6>Hey, Otani, what about what about allowing Monkey to play

172
00:08:57.279 --> 00:08:59.799
<v Speaker 6>every single He might he.

173
00:08:59.799 --> 00:09:02.440
<v Speaker 2>Might work into that, but honestly, Rob, he has been

174
00:09:02.480 --> 00:09:06.840
<v Speaker 2>basically playing virtually every day Keiky. Hernandez has only had

175
00:09:06.840 --> 00:09:10.080
<v Speaker 2>one or two starts since Munsey's come back, and he

176
00:09:10.120 --> 00:09:12.440
<v Speaker 2>played against the He was in the starting lineup against

177
00:09:12.480 --> 00:09:16.720
<v Speaker 2>a lefty couple of days ago. All right, gotta run, Rob,

178
00:09:16.799 --> 00:09:20.759
<v Speaker 2>Thank you. That was enough misinformation right there? Eight six

179
00:09:20.919 --> 00:09:24.120
<v Speaker 2>six nine eight seven two five seventy is the phone number. Look,

180
00:09:24.639 --> 00:09:28.679
<v Speaker 2>I'm all good with you calling in with different ideas,

181
00:09:29.000 --> 00:09:32.440
<v Speaker 2>but don't try to convince us of things that aren't true.

182
00:09:32.840 --> 00:09:35.559
<v Speaker 2>Like the Dodgers are in danger of losing a first

183
00:09:35.639 --> 00:09:39.759
<v Speaker 2>round by I mentioned during the Clubhouse Show, the Dodgers

184
00:09:39.799 --> 00:09:43.200
<v Speaker 2>gained a game on both San Diego and Arizona, so

185
00:09:43.279 --> 00:09:46.000
<v Speaker 2>they're five games ahead of the Padres. They're six and

186
00:09:46.039 --> 00:09:49.320
<v Speaker 2>a half games ahead of the Diamondbacks and own the tiebreaker.

187
00:09:50.279 --> 00:09:53.279
<v Speaker 2>Their magic number is fifteen with twenty games to go.

188
00:09:53.759 --> 00:09:58.360
<v Speaker 2>They are as much as everybody that covers this team

189
00:09:58.480 --> 00:10:02.759
<v Speaker 2>wants to make you believe it Panic City at Dodger Stadium,

190
00:10:03.080 --> 00:10:06.679
<v Speaker 2>It's really not the case. It really isn't now. If

191
00:10:06.720 --> 00:10:09.679
<v Speaker 2>Tyler glass Now was not throwing the baseball, then I

192
00:10:09.759 --> 00:10:12.960
<v Speaker 2>might be a little concerned. If Yamamoto was not starting

193
00:10:13.000 --> 00:10:16.399
<v Speaker 2>on Tuesday, I would be even more concerned. And look,

194
00:10:16.480 --> 00:10:19.039
<v Speaker 2>between now and the end of the regular season, they

195
00:10:19.080 --> 00:10:21.320
<v Speaker 2>could have a setback, and then we might have a

196
00:10:21.320 --> 00:10:25.320
<v Speaker 2>different conversation. But the Dodgers are in great position to

197
00:10:25.399 --> 00:10:27.759
<v Speaker 2>be the number one or number two seed in the

198
00:10:27.879 --> 00:10:30.759
<v Speaker 2>National League and have those five days off. And when

199
00:10:30.799 --> 00:10:34.279
<v Speaker 2>you get those five days off, that's beneficial to glass

200
00:10:34.279 --> 00:10:38.320
<v Speaker 2>Now and Yamamoto and Kershaw and everybody else that is

201
00:10:38.360 --> 00:10:40.919
<v Speaker 2>on the shelf. Right now, let's go out to Lance

202
00:10:40.919 --> 00:10:43.279
<v Speaker 2>who is at Dodger Stadium tonight. Hi, Lance, you're on

203
00:10:43.360 --> 00:10:44.000
<v Speaker 2>Dodger Talk.

204
00:10:45.799 --> 00:10:51.200
<v Speaker 7>Hi, first time caller. I actually called probably ten years ago.

205
00:10:51.919 --> 00:10:55.840
<v Speaker 7>The family's been Dodger fans for seventy five years. My

206
00:10:56.399 --> 00:10:59.679
<v Speaker 7>dad used to go watch him in Brooklyn and I'm

207
00:10:59.679 --> 00:11:03.320
<v Speaker 7>taking him to the game on Tuesday. Good friends with

208
00:11:03.480 --> 00:11:05.480
<v Speaker 7>Laura and the chef Marito Queen.

209
00:11:06.039 --> 00:11:07.399
<v Speaker 2>Oh, she's the best.

210
00:11:08.919 --> 00:11:11.039
<v Speaker 7>To her and my daughter. She was in my daughter's

211
00:11:11.080 --> 00:11:15.440
<v Speaker 7>wedding so well. Diehard Dodger fan, go to sixty games,

212
00:11:15.759 --> 00:11:18.519
<v Speaker 7>seventy games a year, and even went and watched them

213
00:11:18.519 --> 00:11:21.879
<v Speaker 7>play in Saint Louis. But my Clifton, I want to

214
00:11:21.960 --> 00:11:24.639
<v Speaker 7>comment on the last caller. I totally agree with you

215
00:11:26.559 --> 00:11:31.159
<v Speaker 7>that the Dodgers have had horrible luck with injuries and

216
00:11:31.480 --> 00:11:34.320
<v Speaker 7>to their pigeon staff. But we're getting healthy at the

217
00:11:34.399 --> 00:11:37.159
<v Speaker 7>right time, and I think we're going to make a

218
00:11:37.200 --> 00:11:40.759
<v Speaker 7>good playoff run and this is our year. I just

219
00:11:40.799 --> 00:11:45.279
<v Speaker 7>wanted to give you my comments and and appreciate everything

220
00:11:45.360 --> 00:11:48.559
<v Speaker 7>you do. When I go to Milwaukee this year, I

221
00:11:48.559 --> 00:11:53.519
<v Speaker 7>won't go down the slide. I'm gonna make that mistake.

222
00:11:56.440 --> 00:12:02.240
<v Speaker 2>The slide to me today. Oh oh, Now, I appreciate it, Lance,

223
00:12:02.279 --> 00:12:03.960
<v Speaker 2>and thank you for the phone call, and thanks for

224
00:12:04.000 --> 00:12:07.679
<v Speaker 2>being big Dodger fans, and any friend of Lorn from

225
00:12:07.759 --> 00:12:11.559
<v Speaker 2>Chef Merito is a friend of mine. Eight sixty six

226
00:12:11.639 --> 00:12:14.799
<v Speaker 2>nine eighty seven two five seventy is the phone number.

227
00:12:14.879 --> 00:12:18.960
<v Speaker 2>By the way, I tried those Joe Kelly Tinga nachos.

228
00:12:19.039 --> 00:12:21.559
<v Speaker 2>Those are solid Joe Kelly, I hate to admit it.

229
00:12:21.840 --> 00:12:23.720
<v Speaker 2>He knows how to pitch, he knows how to talk,

230
00:12:23.759 --> 00:12:26.399
<v Speaker 2>and he knows how to come up with good nacho recipes.

231
00:12:26.759 --> 00:12:30.039
<v Speaker 2>And by the way, as I said last night, Joe

232
00:12:30.120 --> 00:12:32.919
<v Speaker 2>Kelly still has eight more days to go on the

233
00:12:32.919 --> 00:12:37.080
<v Speaker 2>injured list. When Joe Kelly returns, you are going to

234
00:12:37.159 --> 00:12:41.320
<v Speaker 2>see vintage Joe Kelly. I've been watching his catch play

235
00:12:41.360 --> 00:12:44.120
<v Speaker 2>out there. It's a different sound popping out of that

236
00:12:44.240 --> 00:12:47.879
<v Speaker 2>catcher's mitt when he's throwing, and the way he's throwing

237
00:12:48.000 --> 00:12:50.000
<v Speaker 2>is the way he was throwing for the Red Sox

238
00:12:50.480 --> 00:12:53.879
<v Speaker 2>in twenty eighteen. There's gonna be a lot of apologies

239
00:12:53.960 --> 00:12:57.559
<v Speaker 2>to me and Mariachi Joe when he returns. Trust me.

240
00:12:58.120 --> 00:13:02.120
<v Speaker 2>Eight six six nine eighty seven two is the phone number.

241
00:13:02.600 --> 00:13:05.759
<v Speaker 2>Taoscar Hernandez. It seemed like he was done for the

242
00:13:05.840 --> 00:13:08.879
<v Speaker 2>season last year as he was walking out of the

243
00:13:08.919 --> 00:13:11.639
<v Speaker 2>stadium with a walking boot on his left foot after

244
00:13:11.639 --> 00:13:15.240
<v Speaker 2>being hit by a pitch. He did undergo CT scans.

245
00:13:15.279 --> 00:13:18.480
<v Speaker 2>They came back negative. He did come back to Dodger

246
00:13:18.559 --> 00:13:22.759
<v Speaker 2>Stadium without a walking boot. He was limping slightly, but

247
00:13:22.879 --> 00:13:25.840
<v Speaker 2>he seemed to be in great spirits and very relieved

248
00:13:26.200 --> 00:13:30.440
<v Speaker 2>that it wasn't worse. And Dave Roberts said, Taoscar Hernandez

249
00:13:30.559 --> 00:13:33.240
<v Speaker 2>is not going on the IL and he plans to

250
00:13:33.279 --> 00:13:36.200
<v Speaker 2>have him back in the starting lineup Monday or Tuesday

251
00:13:36.679 --> 00:13:40.559
<v Speaker 2>against the Chicago Cubs. Here's what Taoscar Hernandez had to

252
00:13:40.600 --> 00:13:42.600
<v Speaker 2>say earlier today at his locker.

253
00:13:42.799 --> 00:13:47.759
<v Speaker 4>Ah, yeah, it's definitely better today. You know, naivel to

254
00:13:47.960 --> 00:13:53.879
<v Speaker 4>well normal, but it's way better than last night. MRIs

255
00:13:53.919 --> 00:13:58.120
<v Speaker 4>and CT scan we're negative. Thank god, it was nothing broke.

256
00:13:58.600 --> 00:14:02.440
<v Speaker 4>Just take the day today, lose some on TIV tomorrow

257
00:14:02.600 --> 00:14:05.679
<v Speaker 4>to see how it's going. Maybe Monday or Tuesday. Good

258
00:14:05.679 --> 00:14:09.320
<v Speaker 4>back in the field. I thought it was worse, honestly

259
00:14:09.360 --> 00:14:13.000
<v Speaker 4>when I got hit, and like after a couple hours,

260
00:14:13.120 --> 00:14:17.840
<v Speaker 4>I feel like the pay wasn't going away. So today

261
00:14:17.879 --> 00:14:21.559
<v Speaker 4>I was expecting really back moves, but thank got it.

262
00:14:21.559 --> 00:14:25.279
<v Speaker 4>It was nothing too worry about it, and I'm gonna

263
00:14:25.320 --> 00:14:25.679
<v Speaker 4>be ready.

264
00:14:26.679 --> 00:14:30.759
<v Speaker 2>All right, there's ta Oscar Hernandez and his mere presence

265
00:14:30.879 --> 00:14:33.960
<v Speaker 2>in the lineup behind the three MVPs this season with

266
00:14:34.080 --> 00:14:38.320
<v Speaker 2>twenty eight home runs and eighty seven RBIs has been

267
00:14:38.679 --> 00:14:42.960
<v Speaker 2>huge to help those three guys really make the picture.

268
00:14:43.080 --> 00:14:46.480
<v Speaker 2>Have some pause that. Okay, you get through those three

269
00:14:46.519 --> 00:14:48.960
<v Speaker 2>guys if one of them or two of them are

270
00:14:49.039 --> 00:14:52.000
<v Speaker 2>on base. Now you have to deal with Taoscar Hernandez,

271
00:14:52.279 --> 00:14:55.600
<v Speaker 2>who is having a great season and certainly should be

272
00:14:55.639 --> 00:14:59.200
<v Speaker 2>considered for Comeback Player of the Year. Eight six, six,

273
00:14:59.679 --> 00:15:02.960
<v Speaker 2>seven two five seventy is the phone number. Dodgers beat

274
00:15:03.000 --> 00:15:07.559
<v Speaker 2>the Guardians tonight seventy two. Ta Oscar's replacement, his little brother,

275
00:15:07.720 --> 00:15:10.879
<v Speaker 2>Andy pa Hez, got the starting left field and he

276
00:15:10.960 --> 00:15:13.559
<v Speaker 2>hit a two run home run in that six run

277
00:15:13.639 --> 00:15:16.200
<v Speaker 2>first inning. Let's go out to Cammy. Who is that

278
00:15:16.360 --> 00:15:18.919
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers stadium tonight? Hi? Cammy, you're on Dodger Talk.

279
00:15:20.120 --> 00:15:20.600
<v Speaker 4>What's up?

280
00:15:20.720 --> 00:15:21.679
<v Speaker 8>How are you guys?

281
00:15:22.159 --> 00:15:23.159
<v Speaker 2>We're doing great?

282
00:15:23.480 --> 00:15:24.039
<v Speaker 5>That's great.

283
00:15:25.159 --> 00:15:27.039
<v Speaker 8>I was just fun to say that. Tonight was pretty

284
00:15:27.039 --> 00:15:30.440
<v Speaker 8>electrifying game to watch, you know. Dot two run home

285
00:15:30.519 --> 00:15:33.679
<v Speaker 8>run from pahes was really really cool, really good for

286
00:15:33.799 --> 00:15:36.639
<v Speaker 8>him on his part, But I feel like Otani didn't

287
00:15:36.639 --> 00:15:39.240
<v Speaker 8>really live up to the standards tonight in person like

288
00:15:39.279 --> 00:15:40.120
<v Speaker 8>he usually does.

289
00:15:40.679 --> 00:15:44.279
<v Speaker 2>Oh, Cammy, how many games have you been to this year? Cammy?

290
00:15:45.200 --> 00:15:46.039
<v Speaker 5>Like seven?

291
00:15:47.200 --> 00:15:50.159
<v Speaker 2>How many times has Otani delivered in those other games

292
00:15:50.200 --> 00:15:50.919
<v Speaker 2>that you've been to?

293
00:15:51.559 --> 00:15:54.679
<v Speaker 8>Sure, you're right, You're right, You're right. Maybe he's just

294
00:15:54.720 --> 00:15:55.799
<v Speaker 8>off to night baseball.

295
00:15:56.240 --> 00:15:59.039
<v Speaker 2>It's not. It's not the NBA where Lebron James is

296
00:15:59.039 --> 00:16:02.159
<v Speaker 2>going to score thirty five and dish out ten assists

297
00:16:02.159 --> 00:16:05.720
<v Speaker 2>every night. It's baseball. Yeah, he did almost hit a

298
00:16:05.759 --> 00:16:08.120
<v Speaker 2>home run to left field. He just got underneath it.

299
00:16:08.159 --> 00:16:11.960
<v Speaker 2>But I think Mookie Bets uh, I think Mookie Betts

300
00:16:12.240 --> 00:16:14.600
<v Speaker 2>put on the show tonight, and so did Tommy Edmund

301
00:16:15.080 --> 00:16:15.720
<v Speaker 2>definitely did.

302
00:16:16.000 --> 00:16:19.480
<v Speaker 8>He definitely did great job tonight. Really really showed off tonight.

<v Speaker 5>I mean, there's got two rings.

00:16:35.879 --> 00:16:39.159
<v Speaker 2>Mookie's got two rings. He's trying to get O'tani.

312
00:16:38.840 --> 00:16:41.639
<v Speaker 6>His first Yeah, well, he's.

313
00:16:41.320 --> 00:16:44.080
<v Speaker 2>Trying to get o'tani's his first. You know, that's how

314

335
00:17:59.000 --> 00:18:01.079
<v Speaker 2>Ah, you know, Tim whatever, it was happy to be

337
00:18:04.240 --> 00:18:07.440
<v Speaker 2>the bottom of the fourth inning. Mookie Bets continues to

338
00:18:07.559 --> 00:18:10.599
<v Speaker 2>roll for the Dodgers, no matter where he's hitting, no

339
00:18:10.680 --> 00:18:14.240
<v Speaker 2>matter where he's playing, and the Dodgers defeat the Guardians

345
00:18:34.160 --> 00:18:37.720
<v Speaker 2>The Dodgers, winning tonight, now have a five game lead

346
00:18:37.759 --> 00:18:40.200
<v Speaker 2>on the Padres, six and a half games over the

347
00:18:40.279 --> 00:18:44.160
<v Speaker 2>Arizona Diamondbacks. And if you're looking at the playoff picture,

348
00:18:44.920 --> 00:18:48.319
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers and Phillies are tied for the best record

349
00:18:48.720 --> 00:18:51.920
<v Speaker 2>in the National League as it stands right now. If

350
00:18:51.920 --> 00:18:56.720
<v Speaker 2>the postseason started tomorrow, If the regular season ended tonight

351
00:18:57.079 --> 00:19:00.839
<v Speaker 2>and the Dodgers and Phillies were tied with the same record,

352
00:19:01.200 --> 00:19:04.079
<v Speaker 2>the Phillies would get the number one seed because they

353
00:19:04.160 --> 00:19:08.920
<v Speaker 2>owned the tiebreaker winning the season series over the Dodgers

354
00:19:09.000 --> 00:19:13.039
<v Speaker 2>this year. So the Phillies, the number one seed, would

355
00:19:13.079 --> 00:19:18.039
<v Speaker 2>play the winner of a Padres Diamondbacks wildcard series, and

356
00:19:18.200 --> 00:19:22.160
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers currently would play the winner of a Brewers

357
00:19:22.960 --> 00:19:28.519
<v Speaker 2>Mets wild card series. That's right. The New York Metropolitans

358
00:19:28.880 --> 00:19:33.079
<v Speaker 2>have overtaken the Atlanta Braves for the final National League

359
00:19:33.079 --> 00:19:37.079
<v Speaker 2>wildcard spot with a four to nothing win against the Reds.

360
00:19:37.279 --> 00:19:41.079
<v Speaker 2>They have won nine in a row, and America's dh JD.

361
00:19:41.279 --> 00:19:44.680
<v Speaker 2>Martinez had a two run double to lead the way

362
00:19:44.799 --> 00:19:48.759
<v Speaker 2>for the mets ninth consecutive victory. So that's how it

363
00:19:48.839 --> 00:19:52.359
<v Speaker 2>lays out right now, if the Dodgers and Phillies finish

364
00:19:52.480 --> 00:19:55.480
<v Speaker 2>with the same record, the Dodgers would be the number

365
00:19:55.480 --> 00:19:58.200
<v Speaker 2>two seed. All right, we got that all settled. Now,

366
00:19:58.240 --> 00:19:59.640
<v Speaker 2>let's head out to jose Mota.

367
00:20:00.279 --> 00:20:04.119
<v Speaker 1>It's time to go around the horn with Hosean Mota.

368
00:20:05.039 --> 00:20:07.759
<v Speaker 2>All right, Jose Mota. The Dodgers bounced back with a

369
00:20:07.839 --> 00:20:10.839
<v Speaker 2>seven to two win. I'm sure it certainly helps to

370
00:20:10.880 --> 00:20:13.599
<v Speaker 2>score six runs when you're doing a bullpen game.

371
00:20:14.480 --> 00:20:16.720
<v Speaker 5>Well, a great plan by the guys at home play,

372
00:20:16.839 --> 00:20:19.640
<v Speaker 5>considering that they had the number of the Gavin Williams

373
00:20:19.720 --> 00:20:23.039
<v Speaker 5>even last season. Will they faced them over in Cleveland

374
00:20:23.279 --> 00:20:25.519
<v Speaker 5>late August, and they just did not allow them to

375
00:20:25.559 --> 00:20:28.200
<v Speaker 5>go out there and brief guy that averages ninety seven

376
00:20:28.240 --> 00:20:31.359
<v Speaker 5>miles an hour. Secondary pictures are just okay for the

377
00:20:31.359 --> 00:20:34.279
<v Speaker 5>big league level. A very nice job and bouncing back

378
00:20:34.319 --> 00:20:36.799
<v Speaker 5>and know that you cannot be helping a guy like

379
00:20:36.839 --> 00:20:39.559
<v Speaker 5>this out with a big arm by spreading the zone

380
00:20:39.599 --> 00:20:41.480
<v Speaker 5>and opening it up. And they forced them into the

381
00:20:41.559 --> 00:20:43.960
<v Speaker 5>zone and something we haven't seen there with all the

382
00:20:44.000 --> 00:20:45.680
<v Speaker 5>you know, all the knocking around the Dodgers have done

383
00:20:45.720 --> 00:20:48.720
<v Speaker 5>in some of their latest wins, taking advantage of the

384
00:20:48.759 --> 00:20:52.920
<v Speaker 5>watts for lounging innings and then forcing Pictures to make

385
00:20:52.960 --> 00:20:54.920
<v Speaker 5>more mistakes. It was good to see that early today,

386
00:20:55.400 --> 00:20:56.039
<v Speaker 5>it really was.

387
00:20:56.079 --> 00:20:59.880
<v Speaker 2>They were passing the batons. Three consecutive walks set up

388
00:21:00.079 --> 00:21:03.359
<v Speaker 2>Tommy Edmonds two run double in the first inning, and

389
00:21:03.359 --> 00:21:07.400
<v Speaker 2>Andy piz Jose got a rare start since being called

390
00:21:07.480 --> 00:21:11.200
<v Speaker 2>up in September because of ta Oscar being out number one.

391
00:21:11.400 --> 00:21:15.119
<v Speaker 2>I think we're all relieved Taoscar the most that it

392
00:21:15.279 --> 00:21:18.640
<v Speaker 2>is not a season ending injury to his left foot

393
00:21:18.920 --> 00:21:21.920
<v Speaker 2>that he will be back in the lineup Monday or tuesday.

394
00:21:22.599 --> 00:21:24.480
<v Speaker 5>Oh, he is so big. I had a chance to

395
00:21:24.519 --> 00:21:27.119
<v Speaker 5>talk to him this morning. He sounded relieved. Obviously a

396
00:21:27.160 --> 00:21:30.720
<v Speaker 5>good news for everybody around in to Oscar is a

397
00:21:30.759 --> 00:21:33.759
<v Speaker 5>guy that, as we know, is the lineup gets longer

398
00:21:33.799 --> 00:21:36.359
<v Speaker 5>and deeper. He's a big part of that. And obviously,

399
00:21:36.480 --> 00:21:39.039
<v Speaker 5>you know we're talking about Andy Pius. This is a

400
00:21:39.079 --> 00:21:42.279
<v Speaker 5>different version of Andy. Payus Dave say, for sure, you

401
00:21:42.319 --> 00:21:44.599
<v Speaker 5>see the urgency Indi outfield, all the work he's been

402
00:21:44.599 --> 00:21:47.839
<v Speaker 5>putting in before he got demoted, you know, a few

403
00:21:47.880 --> 00:21:49.960
<v Speaker 5>weeks ago. It's just he played in the left field

404
00:21:50.000 --> 00:21:52.319
<v Speaker 5>today that you said, that's gold club caliber and the

405
00:21:52.440 --> 00:21:55.839
<v Speaker 5>jumps being on top of his feet, following the ball

406
00:21:55.839 --> 00:21:59.000
<v Speaker 5>in trajectory quite well and taking those good routes and

407
00:21:59.079 --> 00:22:05.680
<v Speaker 5>on top of that, all right, million is there? So Bord?

408
00:22:07.960 --> 00:22:10.720
<v Speaker 2>All right, why don't we get Jose's phone settled there

409
00:22:10.720 --> 00:22:12.920
<v Speaker 2>and we'll see if we could reconnect with him. Eight

410
00:22:13.000 --> 00:22:15.960
<v Speaker 2>six six nine eighty seven two five seventy is the

411
00:22:16.000 --> 00:22:20.079
<v Speaker 2>phone number. Dodgers beat the Guardian seventy two. It was

412
00:22:20.359 --> 00:22:23.680
<v Speaker 2>a great baseball day here at Dodgers Stadium. I got

413
00:22:23.680 --> 00:22:27.119
<v Speaker 2>to meet some fancy baseball people that I don't usually

414
00:22:27.119 --> 00:22:30.000
<v Speaker 2>come in contact with. It was great to see John

415
00:22:30.079 --> 00:22:34.960
<v Speaker 2>Schuerholds Junior, who is the son of the great GM

416
00:22:35.039 --> 00:22:38.920
<v Speaker 2>of the Atlanta Braves dynasty in the nineties, John Schuerholds Senior.

417
00:22:39.319 --> 00:22:42.039
<v Speaker 2>And I also got to meet the director of player

418
00:22:42.160 --> 00:22:46.359
<v Speaker 2>personnel for the Chicago White Sox, Gene Watson, who says

419
00:22:46.400 --> 00:22:49.480
<v Speaker 2>he listens as he is living here in Los Angeles,

420
00:22:49.559 --> 00:22:52.400
<v Speaker 2>so appreciate that. And I also got to go down

421
00:22:52.640 --> 00:22:56.240
<v Speaker 2>into the umpire room to meet this umpiring crew in

422
00:22:56.440 --> 00:23:01.400
<v Speaker 2>all Italian umpiring crew here at Dodgers ste Phil Couzy

423
00:23:01.480 --> 00:23:05.279
<v Speaker 2>who was on the off season show, Dan Bellino, Alex

424
00:23:05.359 --> 00:23:09.559
<v Speaker 2>Toci and Tony Randazzo. It was great meeting the umpiring

425
00:23:09.680 --> 00:23:13.559
<v Speaker 2>crew and they are all Italians, and Phil Couzy certainly

426
00:23:13.599 --> 00:23:16.400
<v Speaker 2>a great one, and they did a great job again tonight.

427
00:23:16.480 --> 00:23:19.480
<v Speaker 2>All right, let's try to reconnect with Jose Mota. Jose.

428
00:23:19.640 --> 00:23:23.519
<v Speaker 2>Let's talk about Justin Robleski. He only went two innings,

429
00:23:23.559 --> 00:23:26.039
<v Speaker 2>he did not give up a run, but it didn't

430
00:23:26.079 --> 00:23:28.960
<v Speaker 2>seem like Dave Roberts was that happy with his outing.

431
00:23:30.400 --> 00:23:32.440
<v Speaker 9>Dave Roberts wards the last couple of times you've seen

432
00:23:32.440 --> 00:23:34.160
<v Speaker 9>were blessed on the mound. It's all about the fact

433
00:23:34.160 --> 00:23:37.839
<v Speaker 9>that he's not ready yet. The stuff is there at

434
00:23:37.880 --> 00:23:41.160
<v Speaker 9>times that there's some flashes, velocity is there, but you know,

435
00:23:41.319 --> 00:23:44.039
<v Speaker 9>it's not just about throwing, man, it's about executing pitches

436
00:23:44.079 --> 00:23:46.640
<v Speaker 9>and being able to control capts and at this point

437
00:23:46.680 --> 00:23:49.759
<v Speaker 9>so far mechanically, I think there's some pieces missing to

438
00:23:49.759 --> 00:23:52.799
<v Speaker 9>put it all together. We know the drive is there

439
00:23:52.839 --> 00:23:55.519
<v Speaker 9>because this guy really wants a really bad, very smart,

440
00:23:56.400 --> 00:23:59.400
<v Speaker 9>analytical kid, but certainty for a guy that we're blessed,

441
00:23:59.519 --> 00:24:01.559
<v Speaker 9>I was hoping to see him go a little bit longer, honestly,

442
00:24:01.640 --> 00:24:02.880
<v Speaker 9>just to go out there and give him a longer

443
00:24:02.960 --> 00:24:04.759
<v Speaker 9>leach today. But Dave Roberts knows better than all of

444
00:24:04.839 --> 00:24:06.920
<v Speaker 9>us when it comes down to how he wanted to

445
00:24:06.960 --> 00:24:10.000
<v Speaker 9>manage his bullpen today. But for Roblesky, it comes down

446
00:24:10.079 --> 00:24:13.880
<v Speaker 9>to the basics of pitching, not just velocity, but location,

447
00:24:14.000 --> 00:24:16.400
<v Speaker 9>strike on strike too, and then the those thing two

448
00:24:16.480 --> 00:24:20.359
<v Speaker 9>Dave is in this around baseball, he doesn't He does

449
00:24:20.440 --> 00:24:23.160
<v Speaker 9>not make a lot of left ended hitters look bad,

450
00:24:23.920 --> 00:24:26.680
<v Speaker 9>and that's a sign sometimes of sometimes people seeing the

451
00:24:26.680 --> 00:24:29.279
<v Speaker 9>ball well off of his hand, and this ladder not

452
00:24:29.319 --> 00:24:32.000
<v Speaker 9>have enough bite to put left ended hitters away who

453
00:24:32.079 --> 00:24:34.920
<v Speaker 9>came into this game today hitting over three hundred and

454
00:24:34.960 --> 00:24:37.200
<v Speaker 9>then only like four strakos and thirty eight bas which

455
00:24:37.279 --> 00:24:39.039
<v Speaker 9>is something that you don't see very offera with somebody

456
00:24:39.039 --> 00:24:39.680
<v Speaker 9>throwing that hard.

457
00:24:40.160 --> 00:24:42.480
<v Speaker 2>All right, Jose, thanks a lot for breaking it down.

458
00:24:42.519 --> 00:24:45.960
<v Speaker 2>We will connect with you again tomorrow after the Dodgers

459
00:24:46.000 --> 00:24:49.119
<v Speaker 2>have Jack Flaherty on the mound against the Cleveland Guardians.

460
00:24:50.319 --> 00:24:52.960
<v Speaker 5>Black Jack Day, baby, Oh, I like that, Jose.

461
00:24:53.519 --> 00:24:56.599
<v Speaker 2>Twenty one for the Dodgers tomorrow with Jack Flaherty on

462
00:24:56.640 --> 00:25:00.960
<v Speaker 2>the mound. He's wearing number zero because Russell Westbrook is

463
00:25:01.000 --> 00:25:04.240
<v Speaker 2>one of his favorite guys. So looking forward to Jack

464
00:25:04.279 --> 00:25:07.200
<v Speaker 2>Flaherty on the mound for the Dodgers tomorrow. I mentioned

465
00:25:07.200 --> 00:25:10.519
<v Speaker 2>Tyler glass Now. He did throw his bullpen session. I

466
00:25:10.640 --> 00:25:14.240
<v Speaker 2>counted twenty five plus pitches in the bullpen and Dave

467
00:25:14.319 --> 00:25:18.720
<v Speaker 2>Roberts said they were all fastballs. On Tuesday, when Yamamoto

468
00:25:19.200 --> 00:25:22.279
<v Speaker 2>comes back off the il, glass Now is also going

469
00:25:22.319 --> 00:25:24.920
<v Speaker 2>to have a big day. He's going to throw, as

470
00:25:25.039 --> 00:25:30.000
<v Speaker 2>Dave Roberts characterized it, an aggressive bullpen on Tuesday where

471
00:25:30.000 --> 00:25:33.480
<v Speaker 2>he's going to throw his entire pitch mix. So that's

472
00:25:33.519 --> 00:25:38.400
<v Speaker 2>good news. And with the Dodgers using seven different relievers tonight,

473
00:25:39.079 --> 00:25:41.720
<v Speaker 2>that may be a signal that they are going to

474
00:25:41.759 --> 00:25:46.079
<v Speaker 2>activate Bruce Starr Graderol off the IL for a second

475
00:25:46.160 --> 00:25:50.680
<v Speaker 2>time this season. Remember, Grattarol made a season debut three

476
00:25:50.759 --> 00:25:54.720
<v Speaker 2>or four weeks ago. On his ninth pitch, he felt

477
00:25:54.759 --> 00:25:57.359
<v Speaker 2>something in his hamstring and it looked like he may

478
00:25:57.400 --> 00:26:00.319
<v Speaker 2>have blown out his right hand string, but it turned

479
00:26:00.319 --> 00:26:02.680
<v Speaker 2>out it was only a Grade one hand string strain

480
00:26:03.000 --> 00:26:05.799
<v Speaker 2>and I ran into the Bazuka as he was coming

481
00:26:05.880 --> 00:26:09.960
<v Speaker 2>back down the elevator with his luggage at Dodgers Stadium,

482
00:26:10.000 --> 00:26:13.200
<v Speaker 2>and he is going to be activated, if not tomorrow,

483
00:26:13.359 --> 00:26:15.799
<v Speaker 2>then on Monday for the CUB Series. So that is

484
00:26:15.839 --> 00:26:18.920
<v Speaker 2>going to be a big boost for this Dodger bullpen

485
00:26:19.039 --> 00:26:23.680
<v Speaker 2>to have Bruce Star Gretterol back there and at the

486
00:26:23.720 --> 00:26:26.359
<v Speaker 2>perfect timing because a lot of these guys have been

487
00:26:26.480 --> 00:26:29.720
<v Speaker 2>used a lot this season. They need a fresh arm

488
00:26:29.799 --> 00:26:33.000
<v Speaker 2>that is as good as Bruce Star Grattarol down there.

489
00:26:33.240 --> 00:26:36.240
<v Speaker 2>And like I mentioned, Joe Kelly, he has thrown that

490
00:26:36.400 --> 00:26:39.599
<v Speaker 2>tinga down there. He is going to come back better

491
00:26:39.799 --> 00:26:42.880
<v Speaker 2>than ever, trust me. All right, that'll do it for

492
00:26:42.960 --> 00:26:46.799
<v Speaker 2>us on Dodger talk tonight tomorrow. As Jose mentioned, Jack

493
00:26:46.880 --> 00:26:49.000
<v Speaker 2>Flaherty will be on the mound to try to win

494
00:26:49.039 --> 00:26:52.039
<v Speaker 2>the series. He's eleven and six this season with an

495
00:26:52.079 --> 00:26:55.079
<v Speaker 2>ERA of three to zero one, going up against Tanner

496
00:26:55.079 --> 00:26:58.200
<v Speaker 2>Bibbi who's eleven and six with an ERA of three

497
00:26:58.240 --> 00:27:02.559
<v Speaker 2>point fifty six. Morongoo. Dodgers on deck is at noon

498
00:27:02.599 --> 00:27:05.559
<v Speaker 2>tomorrow with first pitch at one ten, And as you

499
00:27:05.599 --> 00:27:08.559
<v Speaker 2>saw last night, it's vital for the Dodgers to get

500
00:27:08.599 --> 00:27:11.279
<v Speaker 2>an early lead so they do not have to see

501
00:27:11.640 --> 00:27:15.200
<v Speaker 2>the great relievers, the high leverage relievers that Steven Vote

502
00:27:15.240 --> 00:27:19.240
<v Speaker 2>has in his bullpen, led by the closer and Manuel

503
00:27:19.319 --> 00:27:23.119
<v Speaker 2>Classe who earned his forty second save of the season

504
00:27:23.240 --> 00:27:26.119
<v Speaker 2>last night. So if the Dodgers have a lead going

505
00:27:26.160 --> 00:27:29.880
<v Speaker 2>into the later innings tomorrow afternoon, there's a good chance

506
00:27:29.920 --> 00:27:33.200
<v Speaker 2>they're going to win it. So looking for the series win,

507
00:27:33.359 --> 00:27:36.240
<v Speaker 2>and the Dodgers are in great position as their magic

508
00:27:36.359 --> 00:27:39.440
<v Speaker 2>number to clinch the NL last is at fifteen with

509
00:27:39.559 --> 00:27:42.759
<v Speaker 2>only twenty games to go after a seven to two

510
00:27:42.839 --> 00:27:46.119
<v Speaker 2>win tonight over the Guardians. Thanks to Colin Yee, thanks

511
00:27:46.119 --> 00:27:48.680
<v Speaker 2>to Dwayne McDonald, and thanks to you for listening in

512
