20

<v Speaker 7>One inning of work for show Heyotani in his return,

21
00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:06.280
<v Speaker 7>and then he went to work at the plates as

22
00:01:06.319 --> 00:01:09.480
<v Speaker 7>the Dodgers leadoff hitter. A RBI double on the third,

26
00:01:20.159 --> 00:01:25.079
<v Speaker 7>Everybody AMPHI seventy LA Sports Live Everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.

27
00:01:25.079 --> 00:01:26.000
<v Speaker 4>Thanks for being with us.

28
00:01:26.040 --> 00:01:29.079
<v Speaker 7>A sold out crowd here at Dodgers Stadium on this

29
00:01:29.200 --> 00:01:32.879
<v Speaker 7>Monday night. Fans rushed to get tickets once it was

30
00:01:32.920 --> 00:01:36.519
<v Speaker 7>announced on Dodger Talking yesterday with Devid Vesse that show

31
00:01:36.519 --> 00:01:40.799
<v Speaker 7>Ayotani would be the starting pitcher tonight for the Dodgers.

32
00:01:40.879 --> 00:01:42.359
<v Speaker 4>A sellout crowd is.

33
00:01:42.319 --> 00:01:45.159
<v Speaker 7>What they had here at the ravine and they saw

34
00:01:45.239 --> 00:01:48.079
<v Speaker 7>show Eyotani warming up. I mean as soon as he

35
00:01:48.120 --> 00:01:50.799
<v Speaker 7>came out of the dugout to go out and start

36
00:01:50.799 --> 00:01:54.400
<v Speaker 7>playing long toss and left field fans along the third

37
00:01:54.480 --> 00:01:57.920
<v Speaker 7>base line were standing, and as he made his way

38
00:01:57.920 --> 00:02:01.079
<v Speaker 7>out into the outfield, they continued to stand all the

39
00:02:01.079 --> 00:02:03.599
<v Speaker 7>way down by the foul pole on the field level.

40
00:02:04.040 --> 00:02:06.480
<v Speaker 7>And then you looked in the bullpen area along the

41
00:02:06.519 --> 00:02:09.719
<v Speaker 7>gate along the field level, in the pavilion and left field,

42
00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:12.719
<v Speaker 7>everybody standing. And then you looked up in the reserve

43
00:02:12.840 --> 00:02:16.479
<v Speaker 7>level as he was throwing his bullpen session, a line

44
00:02:16.520 --> 00:02:20.759
<v Speaker 7>of people hanging over the railing looking down into the

45
00:02:20.800 --> 00:02:26.800
<v Speaker 7>Dodgers' bullpen just to see number seventeen show Aotani warm

46
00:02:26.879 --> 00:02:30.599
<v Speaker 7>up in the Dodgers' bullpen. It's like nobody had ever

47
00:02:30.639 --> 00:02:35.400
<v Speaker 7>seen show Ayotani pitch before in the United States. I

48
00:02:35.439 --> 00:02:38.800
<v Speaker 7>had to remind some folks today he pitched for six

49
00:02:38.919 --> 00:02:45.039
<v Speaker 7>years for the Anaheim Angels. Six years we seen him

50
00:02:45.039 --> 00:02:47.520
<v Speaker 7>pitch in the big leagues. He's faced the Dodgers before,

51
00:02:48.199 --> 00:02:50.680
<v Speaker 7>but yet tonight it's like we had never seen him

52
00:02:50.719 --> 00:02:54.199
<v Speaker 7>pitch before. And Dodger fans were here tonight in force

53
00:02:54.280 --> 00:02:57.400
<v Speaker 7>to see him pitch against the San Diego Padres. Just

54
00:02:57.479 --> 00:03:01.319
<v Speaker 7>one inning of work, one run, two those strikeouts, no walks.

55
00:03:01.479 --> 00:03:05.520
<v Speaker 7>Should have had a punch out of Manny Machado. Instead

56
00:03:05.520 --> 00:03:07.520
<v Speaker 7>it was a sack fly. Later in he had bat

57
00:03:07.759 --> 00:03:11.199
<v Speaker 7>bringing in a run in the first inning to give

58
00:03:11.199 --> 00:03:14.759
<v Speaker 7>the Padres a one to nothing lead. But overall some

59
00:03:14.800 --> 00:03:18.759
<v Speaker 7>command issues in that one end of work for show Aotani.

60
00:03:18.800 --> 00:03:21.159
<v Speaker 7>You heard from Max Munsey, you heard Dave Roberts, you

61
00:03:21.240 --> 00:03:23.560
<v Speaker 7>heard from showing himself with David Vasse on the field.

62
00:03:23.800 --> 00:03:26.520
<v Speaker 7>Felt good about his performance and something to now build

63
00:03:26.560 --> 00:03:29.879
<v Speaker 7>on moving forward again. A reminder he didn't go to

64
00:03:29.960 --> 00:03:33.280
<v Speaker 7>Rancho Cucamonga. He didn't go to Oklahoma City. There was

65
00:03:33.360 --> 00:03:38.520
<v Speaker 7>no rehab outings to face live hitting, live bullets.

66
00:03:38.120 --> 00:03:40.240
<v Speaker 4>As they say, in a competitive game.

67
00:03:40.280 --> 00:03:42.520
<v Speaker 7>In the minor leagues, he didn't have that luxury of

68
00:03:42.840 --> 00:03:46.120
<v Speaker 7>going out and pitching. He had a couple of sim games,

69
00:03:46.199 --> 00:03:49.719
<v Speaker 7>most recently last week, forty four pitches at Petco Park

70
00:03:49.759 --> 00:03:53.240
<v Speaker 7>down in San Diego. That was it as far as

71
00:03:53.400 --> 00:03:56.560
<v Speaker 7>live action and ramping up to come back and pitch

72
00:03:56.599 --> 00:04:01.479
<v Speaker 7>with the Dodgers. So tonight, his first competitive was the

73
00:04:01.479 --> 00:04:04.240
<v Speaker 7>one inning of work against the San Diego Padres. And

74
00:04:04.319 --> 00:04:07.159
<v Speaker 7>for those who were calling a FI seventy earlier today,

75
00:04:07.439 --> 00:04:10.439
<v Speaker 7>I heard you on Rogan and Rodney. This wasn't the

76
00:04:10.520 --> 00:04:13.319
<v Speaker 7>Dodger saying we need you show hey, we go, We

77
00:04:13.360 --> 00:04:14.560
<v Speaker 7>need you to go out and make a start.

78
00:04:14.680 --> 00:04:14.879
<v Speaker 8>Go.

79
00:04:15.719 --> 00:04:19.920
<v Speaker 7>This was Show Aotani on his schedule, part of his

80
00:04:20.079 --> 00:04:24.120
<v Speaker 7>plan going out and pitching tonight. This wasn't him being

81
00:04:24.199 --> 00:04:27.240
<v Speaker 7>forced out. This wasn't him being kicked and pushed and

82
00:04:27.279 --> 00:04:30.439
<v Speaker 7>told go out and pitch by the Dodgers Dave Roberts

83
00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:33.879
<v Speaker 7>or Mark Pryor or Andrew Freeman. No, this was the

84
00:04:33.959 --> 00:04:39.160
<v Speaker 7>schedule and plan all along for Show Aotani he got

85
00:04:39.199 --> 00:04:42.319
<v Speaker 7>to a point SIM games have been enough. He got

86
00:04:42.360 --> 00:04:45.319
<v Speaker 7>out of him what he was gonna get forty four pitches,

87
00:04:45.439 --> 00:04:48.160
<v Speaker 7>couple of updowns, as they say in a SIM game.

88
00:04:48.279 --> 00:04:48.839
<v Speaker 4>Last week.

89
00:04:49.000 --> 00:04:51.879
<v Speaker 7>He was ready. The next step was to face live

90
00:04:51.959 --> 00:04:54.079
<v Speaker 7>hitting in a game. And he's not going to the

91
00:04:54.120 --> 00:04:56.279
<v Speaker 7>minor leagues on a rehab start, as we have mentioned,

92
00:04:56.439 --> 00:04:58.959
<v Speaker 7>so the other option is to have him pitching the game,

93
00:04:59.120 --> 00:04:59.879
<v Speaker 7>and he did tonight.

94
00:05:00.279 --> 00:05:03.399
<v Speaker 4>As in essence, he was the opener for the Dodgers.

95
00:05:03.399 --> 00:05:06.519
<v Speaker 7>It was gonna be one, maybe two innings of work

96
00:05:06.600 --> 00:05:08.959
<v Speaker 7>if it was a light inning. In that first inning,

97
00:05:09.000 --> 00:05:12.439
<v Speaker 7>as it turns out, he threw twenty eight pitches, sixteen strikes,

98
00:05:13.079 --> 00:05:15.480
<v Speaker 7>a little bit of an issue with his command, got

99
00:05:15.480 --> 00:05:18.639
<v Speaker 7>a couple swinging misses into night's one inning of work.

100
00:05:19.360 --> 00:05:22.199
<v Speaker 7>He had two flare base hits that he gave up

101
00:05:22.680 --> 00:05:25.800
<v Speaker 7>in that first inning from Luisa Rise and Fernando Tetiz Junior,

102
00:05:26.120 --> 00:05:31.319
<v Speaker 7>a sack five for Manny Machado, limited damage against show

103
00:05:31.360 --> 00:05:34.879
<v Speaker 7>Hey Otani and certainly something to build on. And how

104
00:05:34.920 --> 00:05:37.279
<v Speaker 7>exciting was it to see him hit triple digits on

105
00:05:37.319 --> 00:05:40.439
<v Speaker 7>the radar gun here at Dodger Stadium, one hundred miles

106
00:05:40.480 --> 00:05:44.000
<v Speaker 7>an hour a couple times, sitting ninety six ninety seven

107
00:05:44.040 --> 00:05:48.199
<v Speaker 7>miles an hour consistently in his one inning of work tonight.

108
00:05:48.680 --> 00:05:50.959
<v Speaker 7>Eight sixty six nine eighty seven two five seventy is

109
00:05:51.000 --> 00:05:53.680
<v Speaker 7>a number. Eight sixty six nine eighty seven two five

110
00:05:53.720 --> 00:05:56.920
<v Speaker 7>seventy ten. Kate's postgame Dodger Talk here at Dodger Stadium

111
00:05:56.920 --> 00:05:58.959
<v Speaker 7>as the Dodgers get to win sixty three over the

112
00:05:59.000 --> 00:06:02.240
<v Speaker 7>Padres talked about it in pregame. We were gonna see

113
00:06:02.360 --> 00:06:06.120
<v Speaker 7>Ben Casparius in a heavy dosage tonight as the quote

114
00:06:06.199 --> 00:06:09.439
<v Speaker 7>unquote bulk inning guy for the Dodgers. He's now part

115
00:06:09.480 --> 00:06:12.279
<v Speaker 7>of this rotation. But because Showhy wants to pitch the

116
00:06:12.319 --> 00:06:15.079
<v Speaker 7>one inning, he gets the nod as the opener, the starter,

117
00:06:15.439 --> 00:06:17.879
<v Speaker 7>and then it was gonna be Ben Casparius getting a

118
00:06:17.920 --> 00:06:19.120
<v Speaker 7>bulk of the innings tonight.

119
00:06:19.399 --> 00:06:20.319
<v Speaker 4>And that's what we saw.

120
00:06:20.519 --> 00:06:23.120
<v Speaker 7>Three and two thirds, two runs, three hits, a couple

121
00:06:23.160 --> 00:06:26.000
<v Speaker 7>of strikeouts. He had a leadoff walk in the fourth

122
00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:27.839
<v Speaker 7>that turned into a run on a double by the

123
00:06:27.839 --> 00:06:32.160
<v Speaker 7>next batter in the fourth inning from Xander Bogart's His

124
00:06:32.240 --> 00:06:34.920
<v Speaker 7>RBI double gave up a leadoff home run in the

125
00:06:34.959 --> 00:06:38.360
<v Speaker 7>sixth inning to Manny Machado. But other than that, gave

126
00:06:38.399 --> 00:06:41.000
<v Speaker 7>the Dodgers what they needed, some length in this game

127
00:06:41.079 --> 00:06:44.279
<v Speaker 7>to get to Vesia Kopek, Tanner, Scott and then Kirby

128
00:06:44.319 --> 00:06:47.600
<v Speaker 7>Yates to pitch the ninth inning that back into the bullpen.

129
00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:51.560
<v Speaker 7>By the way, starting to look good, starting to get

130
00:06:51.600 --> 00:06:53.639
<v Speaker 7>to what we thought it was gonna look like in

131
00:06:53.720 --> 00:06:58.680
<v Speaker 7>whatever combination. Vessia, Kopek, Scott, Yates, all four of those

132
00:06:58.720 --> 00:07:02.399
<v Speaker 7>guys can close out games. We're starting to see identity

133
00:07:02.480 --> 00:07:05.199
<v Speaker 7>down there in that bullpen. We're starting to see rules

134
00:07:05.759 --> 00:07:08.519
<v Speaker 7>start to form in that Dodger's bullpen. Is it gonna

135
00:07:08.519 --> 00:07:11.519
<v Speaker 7>stay that way every single night? No, but you're starting

136
00:07:11.519 --> 00:07:15.079
<v Speaker 7>to see four main, high leverage relievers out there, and

137
00:07:15.120 --> 00:07:16.519
<v Speaker 7>for what they can go ahead and get the net

138
00:07:16.519 --> 00:07:21.199
<v Speaker 7>final nine twelve, fifteen outs if need be in a game.

139
00:07:21.279 --> 00:07:23.480
<v Speaker 7>Eight six, six, nine, eight, seven, two five seventy is

140
00:07:23.519 --> 00:07:25.839
<v Speaker 7>the number we're gonna hear from. Jose Mota coming up

141
00:07:25.920 --> 00:07:28.079
<v Speaker 7>in just a little bit. Let's go out to the phone,

142
00:07:28.160 --> 00:07:31.720
<v Speaker 7>Zough start things off. Joseph leaving the game tonight here

143
00:07:31.759 --> 00:07:35.000
<v Speaker 7>at Dodger Stadium. Joseph, what a night for showing oh Tani.

144
00:07:35.240 --> 00:07:37.680
<v Speaker 7>It was like a playoff atmosphere tonight, wasn't it.

145
00:07:39.079 --> 00:07:41.680
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, it was really quiet when he was out there

146
00:07:42.920 --> 00:07:45.680
<v Speaker 9>in the stadium, like you could heart. You could hear

147
00:07:46.399 --> 00:07:50.439
<v Speaker 9>like a pin drop pretty much. And Yep, my buddies

148
00:07:50.480 --> 00:07:53.279
<v Speaker 9>and I noticed how quiet it was while he was pitching.

149
00:07:53.759 --> 00:07:55.120
<v Speaker 9>It was pretty insane.

150
00:07:56.519 --> 00:07:56.800
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

151
00:07:56.879 --> 00:08:00.839
<v Speaker 9>One thing I was disappointed though, is that, uh, when

152
00:08:01.120 --> 00:08:07.000
<v Speaker 9>Conforto just wasn't really making making his plays. Is that

153
00:08:07.199 --> 00:08:10.920
<v Speaker 9>Roberts didn't play Kim in the game though, And I

154
00:08:11.040 --> 00:08:14.360
<v Speaker 9>thought he would have Kim in the game, and so

155
00:08:14.439 --> 00:08:17.199
<v Speaker 9>I was just wondering, like, why they haven't gone to

156
00:08:17.279 --> 00:08:18.839
<v Speaker 9>Kim is more of an everyday player.

157
00:08:20.279 --> 00:08:22.879
<v Speaker 7>Appreciate the phone call, Joseph. You brought up something I

158
00:08:22.920 --> 00:08:25.759
<v Speaker 7>wanted to make sure we hit on when shoey Otani

159
00:08:25.839 --> 00:08:32.080
<v Speaker 7>was pitching tonight, and it wasn't unnoticed at first. You

160
00:08:32.159 --> 00:08:34.799
<v Speaker 7>kind of had to stop and think, what's what's different

161
00:08:34.879 --> 00:08:38.120
<v Speaker 7>right now? What is I can't put my finger on

162
00:08:38.200 --> 00:08:41.960
<v Speaker 7>it initially, And after a few pitches from shoey Otani

163
00:08:42.120 --> 00:08:45.000
<v Speaker 7>in that first inning, facing to tease and then the

164
00:08:45.039 --> 00:08:49.240
<v Speaker 7>single to a rise, I figured it out and Joseph

165
00:08:49.279 --> 00:08:53.799
<v Speaker 7>just brought it up. It was quiet inside Dodger stadium.

166
00:08:54.159 --> 00:08:56.320
<v Speaker 7>There was no deed or rule on the organ.

167
00:08:56.360 --> 00:08:58.639
<v Speaker 4>There there was no music being played.

168
00:08:59.399 --> 00:09:02.360
<v Speaker 7>There was no oh, you know, the charge stuff in

169
00:09:02.440 --> 00:09:05.679
<v Speaker 7>between pitches to get the fans going and to get

170
00:09:05.720 --> 00:09:08.840
<v Speaker 7>a rhythm going out there in a game. In between

171
00:09:08.879 --> 00:09:13.240
<v Speaker 7>pitches for show Eotani tonight, it was quiet. You could

172
00:09:13.240 --> 00:09:16.120
<v Speaker 7>almost hear a pen drop with a sellout crowd here

173
00:09:16.120 --> 00:09:17.879
<v Speaker 7>at Dodger State, and I'm not exaggerating.

174
00:09:18.360 --> 00:09:20.480
<v Speaker 4>It was eerily quiet.

175
00:09:21.519 --> 00:09:26.080
<v Speaker 7>Maybe it's Dodger Stadium is so loud during games, but

176
00:09:26.159 --> 00:09:29.039
<v Speaker 7>at the same time, when you don't hear anything in

177
00:09:29.120 --> 00:09:33.399
<v Speaker 7>between pitches, nothing, nothing from deeeda rule on the organ, nothing,

178
00:09:34.639 --> 00:09:38.320
<v Speaker 7>and it's just showy Otani out there and facing batters

179
00:09:38.320 --> 00:09:41.080
<v Speaker 7>and when he's going two two, three to two full

180
00:09:41.120 --> 00:09:43.879
<v Speaker 7>count and guys, it feels like forever it was just

181
00:09:44.360 --> 00:09:46.440
<v Speaker 7>a battle on the mound and we're just observers in

182
00:09:46.480 --> 00:09:49.720
<v Speaker 7>a quiet, you know, vacuum somewhere watching this all happen.

183
00:09:49.759 --> 00:09:52.120
<v Speaker 4>It was really weird to see.

184
00:09:52.480 --> 00:09:55.120
<v Speaker 7>But I don't know if that's what show he wants,

185
00:09:55.320 --> 00:09:57.919
<v Speaker 7>if it's a respect thing, I don't know, but I

186
00:09:57.919 --> 00:10:01.759
<v Speaker 7>thought it was interesting. There was just dead silence when

187
00:10:01.799 --> 00:10:03.879
<v Speaker 7>show A was on the mound in that top half

188
00:10:03.879 --> 00:10:05.360
<v Speaker 7>of the first inning eight six, six, nine.

189
00:10:05.440 --> 00:10:06.519
<v Speaker 4>Seven, five seventy.

190
00:10:06.679 --> 00:10:08.480
<v Speaker 7>Jose Mota is going to join us after the top

191
00:10:08.480 --> 00:10:10.320
<v Speaker 7>of the hour. Dodgers get the six to three win

192
00:10:10.639 --> 00:10:13.200
<v Speaker 7>over the Padres tonight show a Otani two for fourth

193
00:10:13.240 --> 00:10:16.240
<v Speaker 7>to plate and RBI double an RBI single. He got

194
00:10:16.240 --> 00:10:18.559
<v Speaker 7>the start tonight in his one inning of work. Damn

195
00:10:18.559 --> 00:10:20.919
<v Speaker 7>it into Mechil You're next up here on Dodger Talk

196
00:10:20.960 --> 00:10:21.600
<v Speaker 7>on this Monday night.

197
00:10:21.639 --> 00:10:22.320
<v Speaker 4>Hi doing David.

198
00:10:23.600 --> 00:10:24.399
<v Speaker 9>I'm doing awesome.

199
00:10:24.480 --> 00:10:28.799
<v Speaker 10>We're about fifty minutes from home. My girlfriend's driving. It's awesome.

200
00:10:28.919 --> 00:10:32.639
<v Speaker 10>It was great to be there. We actually are quarter

201
00:10:32.720 --> 00:10:36.320
<v Speaker 10>season ticket holders and the reserve section normally, but we

202
00:10:36.399 --> 00:10:39.480
<v Speaker 10>sold a game we're supposed to. We sold last next

203
00:10:39.519 --> 00:10:43.279
<v Speaker 10>Saturday's ticket and upgrade it before it happened. It was

204
00:10:43.360 --> 00:10:46.679
<v Speaker 10>phenomenal being there for Show's first appearance on the mound.

205
00:10:46.919 --> 00:10:49.360
<v Speaker 10>Like you said it was, it was quiet out there,

206
00:10:49.399 --> 00:10:54.519
<v Speaker 10>but it was also electric in a way because the

207
00:10:54.559 --> 00:10:58.320
<v Speaker 10>way he was just throwing and very powerful on the mound.

208
00:10:58.399 --> 00:11:00.639
<v Speaker 10>It was just amazing to see. And I can't wait

209
00:11:00.879 --> 00:11:03.960
<v Speaker 10>until he could build up and pitch a solid five

210
00:11:04.000 --> 00:11:04.840
<v Speaker 10>for us.

211
00:11:05.159 --> 00:11:07.240
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, no doubt. I appreciate the phone call, David.

212
00:11:07.720 --> 00:11:10.440
<v Speaker 7>The command wasn't there, and I keep alluding to that

213
00:11:10.480 --> 00:11:15.240
<v Speaker 7>because it's important to remember that Dodger fans that, yeah,

214
00:11:15.279 --> 00:11:17.799
<v Speaker 7>he missed the zone twelve times. He had a wild pitch,

215
00:11:17.879 --> 00:11:20.080
<v Speaker 7>and that wild pitch would come into score on the

216
00:11:20.080 --> 00:11:24.320
<v Speaker 7>Manny Machado sack fly. He got some swinging missus. He

217
00:11:24.360 --> 00:11:26.399
<v Speaker 7>had some two strike counts. I think he had about

218
00:11:26.399 --> 00:11:27.879
<v Speaker 7>four or five of them. He should have had a

219
00:11:27.879 --> 00:11:31.200
<v Speaker 7>strike out of Manny Machado on a two strike sweeper,

220
00:11:31.639 --> 00:11:34.159
<v Speaker 7>but was not wrung up on the call, and it

221
00:11:34.200 --> 00:11:36.799
<v Speaker 7>turned out that Manny machatdo flew out to bring in

222
00:11:36.879 --> 00:11:39.759
<v Speaker 7>the first run of the game. But you can see

223
00:11:39.840 --> 00:11:43.440
<v Speaker 7>him out there in command. The velocity was there once

224
00:11:43.480 --> 00:11:47.759
<v Speaker 7>that command gets dialed in. I mean, look out, this

225
00:11:47.840 --> 00:11:49.960
<v Speaker 7>is a guy who made his first pitching appearance since

226
00:11:50.039 --> 00:11:54.000
<v Speaker 7>August twenty third of twenty twenty three, and sim games is.

227
00:11:54.000 --> 00:11:54.720
<v Speaker 4>All he threw in.

228
00:11:55.919 --> 00:11:59.759
<v Speaker 7>You had to expect a little bit of command issues

229
00:11:59.799 --> 00:12:02.519
<v Speaker 7>out there as he zeros it in on the scope,

230
00:12:02.559 --> 00:12:06.399
<v Speaker 7>as they say, with all of his pitches, and tonight

231
00:12:06.559 --> 00:12:08.840
<v Speaker 7>you saw him in that one inning of work glimpses

232
00:12:08.840 --> 00:12:11.639
<v Speaker 7>of what he was and what we're going to see

233
00:12:11.960 --> 00:12:14.759
<v Speaker 7>was shoe Aotani moving forward as he gets ramped up,

234
00:12:14.759 --> 00:12:18.559
<v Speaker 7>and as David Vassi mentioned it, it's gonna be and

235
00:12:18.639 --> 00:12:22.120
<v Speaker 7>Dave Roberts talked about it with the media earlier. We

236
00:12:22.200 --> 00:12:24.360
<v Speaker 7>expect to see him once a week, just like we're

237
00:12:24.360 --> 00:12:27.600
<v Speaker 7>seeing from Yoshiamamoto. Is gonna be once a week for

238
00:12:27.679 --> 00:12:30.320
<v Speaker 7>show Ayotani when he's out on the mountain and the

239
00:12:30.360 --> 00:12:33.080
<v Speaker 7>next time out it could be just one inning of work.

240
00:12:33.360 --> 00:12:34.919
<v Speaker 7>It could be an inning in of third, it could

241
00:12:34.919 --> 00:12:37.440
<v Speaker 7>be an Indian in two thirds. I truly believe they're

242
00:12:37.480 --> 00:12:39.919
<v Speaker 7>gonna just take it as far as a pitch count

243
00:12:40.159 --> 00:12:44.240
<v Speaker 7>range and a load, as far as how he's out

244
00:12:44.240 --> 00:12:46.159
<v Speaker 7>there on the mount is it gonna be stressful inning?

245
00:12:46.559 --> 00:12:49.080
<v Speaker 7>Is he being taxed out there like tonight a one

246
00:12:49.120 --> 00:12:51.639
<v Speaker 7>inning of work twenty eight pitches? He wasn't going back

247
00:12:51.679 --> 00:12:54.799
<v Speaker 7>out there for a second inning in his first outing

248
00:12:54.960 --> 00:12:55.559
<v Speaker 7>of the year.

249
00:12:56.360 --> 00:12:57.919
<v Speaker 4>Now, let's just play.

250
00:12:58.480 --> 00:13:01.639
<v Speaker 7>You know what if here, if he had gone out

251
00:13:01.679 --> 00:13:05.519
<v Speaker 7>and had an eight or nine pitch first inning and

252
00:13:05.639 --> 00:13:10.960
<v Speaker 7>retired the side from the San Diego Padres tatis Ariiza Machado,

253
00:13:12.399 --> 00:13:14.320
<v Speaker 7>I wouldn't have been shocked to see him go back

254
00:13:14.360 --> 00:13:17.120
<v Speaker 7>out there and maybe face a batter or two and

255
00:13:17.240 --> 00:13:20.039
<v Speaker 7>see what the pitch count and the stress load is

256
00:13:20.080 --> 00:13:23.080
<v Speaker 7>looking like in that second inning. But as it is

257
00:13:23.360 --> 00:13:27.480
<v Speaker 7>first time out, twenty eight pitch inning, sixteen strikes, gave

258
00:13:27.559 --> 00:13:30.000
<v Speaker 7>up a run on a sack fly, couple flare base hits,

259
00:13:30.320 --> 00:13:33.120
<v Speaker 7>didn't get his strikeouts, but a couple of swinging misses.

260
00:13:33.519 --> 00:13:35.960
<v Speaker 4>A good overall return to the.

261
00:13:35.879 --> 00:13:40.279
<v Speaker 7>Mound for Show Aotani, And again I shouldn't be shocked,

262
00:13:40.840 --> 00:13:44.120
<v Speaker 7>but just in awe, I guess is the best way

263
00:13:44.120 --> 00:13:48.240
<v Speaker 7>to describe it. In watching show Ayotani, just run onto

264
00:13:48.279 --> 00:13:52.480
<v Speaker 7>the field, warm up, play long toss, throw his bullpen

265
00:13:52.559 --> 00:13:55.879
<v Speaker 7>warm up, and then come out to the mound. It's

266
00:13:55.960 --> 00:13:59.399
<v Speaker 7>like nobody had ever seen him pitch before. It's just

267
00:14:00.480 --> 00:14:03.600
<v Speaker 7>to me, having watched him pitch for six years in Anaheim,

268
00:14:04.039 --> 00:14:08.960
<v Speaker 7>watch him pitch against the Dodgers, and tonight the one

269
00:14:09.000 --> 00:14:12.120
<v Speaker 7>inning of work, the twenty pitches he threw in the

270
00:14:12.120 --> 00:14:15.960
<v Speaker 7>bullpen pregame, it's like people were hanging on every pitch

271
00:14:16.519 --> 00:14:18.559
<v Speaker 7>just trying to get a glimpse of number seventeen.

272
00:14:19.320 --> 00:14:21.720
<v Speaker 4>Like he's babe, Ruth, I mean, he is a unicorn.

273
00:14:21.759 --> 00:14:22.440
<v Speaker 4>I get it.

274
00:14:22.480 --> 00:14:25.639
<v Speaker 7>I understand It's just amazing for a guy who's in

275
00:14:25.639 --> 00:14:28.159
<v Speaker 7>his eighth season in the big leagues making his.

276
00:14:28.159 --> 00:14:29.840
<v Speaker 4>First start in a Dodger uniform.

277
00:14:29.879 --> 00:14:32.480
<v Speaker 7>That's the power of the brand that is the Dodgers,

278
00:14:32.480 --> 00:14:35.960
<v Speaker 7>that is the power of Dodger Blue, of Dodger Baseball.

279
00:14:36.159 --> 00:14:39.879
<v Speaker 7>That a guy can spend six years down the road

280
00:14:40.200 --> 00:14:43.159
<v Speaker 7>with a different team, come to the Dodgers, win a

281
00:14:43.200 --> 00:14:47.159
<v Speaker 7>World Series, have the marketability that he does, have the

282
00:14:47.240 --> 00:14:50.559
<v Speaker 7>power of stardom that he does as a player on

283
00:14:50.639 --> 00:14:53.639
<v Speaker 7>and off the field at that point of his career,

284
00:14:53.879 --> 00:14:56.120
<v Speaker 7>and to be now in a Dodger uniform for the

285
00:14:56.120 --> 00:15:00.559
<v Speaker 7>next eight plus years, It's it's pretty crazy. Mike and

294
00:15:19.879 --> 00:15:23.399
<v Speaker 12>the Padres. That makes it even more special. One more

295
00:15:23.440 --> 00:15:26.120
<v Speaker 12>thing I want to talk about. At the start of

296
00:15:26.159 --> 00:15:30.000
<v Speaker 12>this twenty seven game stretch, didn't know how it was

297
00:15:30.000 --> 00:15:33.080
<v Speaker 12>gonna go a little worried with all the injuries, and

298
00:15:33.159 --> 00:15:35.679
<v Speaker 12>yet here we are still in first place at the

299
00:15:35.759 --> 00:15:40.639
<v Speaker 12>conclusion of this rough stretch, and uh, we're going to

300
00:15:40.679 --> 00:15:44.960
<v Speaker 12>get some more pictures back and look out, National League.

301
00:15:45.240 --> 00:15:46.639
<v Speaker 12>You know we're going to be there.

302
00:15:47.440 --> 00:15:50.000
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, it's scary, and I appreciate the phone call, Mike.

303
00:15:50.240 --> 00:15:52.440
<v Speaker 7>It's scary to think that the Dodgers, with all the

304
00:15:52.480 --> 00:15:55.639
<v Speaker 7>injuries fourteen players as far as pitchers on the injured

305
00:15:55.679 --> 00:15:58.919
<v Speaker 7>list as of a couple of days ago, that their

306
00:15:59.000 --> 00:16:01.399
<v Speaker 7>first place team. And I shape the phone call. Their

307
00:16:01.480 --> 00:16:03.799
<v Speaker 7>first place team. They have one of the best records

308
00:16:03.799 --> 00:16:06.320
<v Speaker 7>in baseball. They have the second best home record in

309
00:16:06.360 --> 00:16:10.799
<v Speaker 7>the National League. Obviously, expectations are high. They're expected to win,

310
00:16:11.399 --> 00:16:13.519
<v Speaker 7>no doubt about it, with this team and the way

311
00:16:13.559 --> 00:16:17.679
<v Speaker 7>it's constructed. But through all the injuries, the way they've

312
00:16:18.039 --> 00:16:21.159
<v Speaker 7>just hung in there and continue to win series after

313
00:16:21.240 --> 00:16:24.000
<v Speaker 7>series and be in first place in the division. And

314
00:16:24.039 --> 00:16:28.320
<v Speaker 7>now the trickle back of players to this rotation, to

315
00:16:28.399 --> 00:16:32.240
<v Speaker 7>the bullpen, to the lineup, you know, getting back Kirby Yates,

316
00:16:32.440 --> 00:16:36.879
<v Speaker 7>getting back Michael Kopek. Blake Trining was throwing a bullpen

317
00:16:37.000 --> 00:16:41.600
<v Speaker 7>session earlier today. Blake Snell throwing a bullpen session earlier today,

318
00:16:41.799 --> 00:16:45.080
<v Speaker 7>show Aotani on the mound tonight for one inning of work.

319
00:16:46.320 --> 00:16:49.679
<v Speaker 7>We are starting to see guys come back and trickle

320
00:16:49.720 --> 00:16:52.240
<v Speaker 7>back healthy and add to what is already a first

321
00:16:52.279 --> 00:16:54.600
<v Speaker 7>place team. It is kind of scary to think about

322
00:16:54.919 --> 00:16:57.720
<v Speaker 7>what this team is going to look like and be

323
00:16:58.000 --> 00:17:01.480
<v Speaker 7>like when they are at full strength, and quite frankly,

324
00:17:01.519 --> 00:17:05.480
<v Speaker 7>Dodger fans, I'm hoping they're at full strength at the

325
00:17:05.519 --> 00:17:08.839
<v Speaker 7>mid to late part of September. That's when they need

326
00:17:08.880 --> 00:17:12.160
<v Speaker 7>to be healthy. That their peak. You know, it's great

327
00:17:12.200 --> 00:17:14.559
<v Speaker 7>to be healthy and have the lineup and roster you

328
00:17:14.599 --> 00:17:16.799
<v Speaker 7>thought you're gonna have in July and early August and

329
00:17:17.079 --> 00:17:20.839
<v Speaker 7>early September. But let's face it, this team is built

330
00:17:20.880 --> 00:17:23.519
<v Speaker 7>to win a championship. And you play one hundred and

331
00:17:23.519 --> 00:17:25.759
<v Speaker 7>sixty two games, you win your division, you take care

332
00:17:25.799 --> 00:17:28.720
<v Speaker 7>of business during the season, but you better be at

333
00:17:28.720 --> 00:17:32.279
<v Speaker 7>your best when that calendar flips to October one and

334
00:17:32.319 --> 00:17:35.480
<v Speaker 7>you start playoff baseball eight to six, nine, eight, seven,

335
00:17:35.519 --> 00:17:38.720
<v Speaker 7>two five seventy Dodgers get the victory tonight six to

336
00:17:38.720 --> 00:17:42.039
<v Speaker 7>three over the San Diego Padres. They're now forty two

337
00:17:42.160 --> 00:17:44.480
<v Speaker 7>and twenty nine on this season. They pick a half

338
00:17:44.519 --> 00:17:48.240
<v Speaker 7>game up on the San Francisco Giants, and now they

339
00:17:48.279 --> 00:17:51.200
<v Speaker 7>pick up a full game on the San Diego Padres

340
00:17:51.240 --> 00:17:54.880
<v Speaker 7>in the NL West. So the Dodgers gaining ground in

341
00:17:54.960 --> 00:17:57.079
<v Speaker 7>some momentum. Now having taken two or three over the

342
00:17:57.119 --> 00:17:59.359
<v Speaker 7>weekend from the Giants, they win the series open or

343
00:17:59.400 --> 00:18:02.160
<v Speaker 7>tonight over the Padre is now four games up in

344
00:18:02.480 --> 00:18:05.880
<v Speaker 7>the division over San Diego, and again the Diamondbacks just

345
00:18:05.920 --> 00:18:07.839
<v Speaker 7>can't can't get any momentum going.

346
00:18:07.880 --> 00:18:09.240
<v Speaker 4>They're a game over five hundred.

347
00:18:09.319 --> 00:18:11.680
<v Speaker 7>They win six of their last ten, but you know,

348
00:18:11.759 --> 00:18:13.960
<v Speaker 7>they just can't get on a roll, and they've dug

349
00:18:14.000 --> 00:18:17.039
<v Speaker 7>themselves a seven game hole in the division, looking up

350
00:18:17.039 --> 00:18:19.759
<v Speaker 7>with three teams ahead of him in the standings. It's

351
00:18:19.799 --> 00:18:22.359
<v Speaker 7>gonna be a tough going for them in the NL West.

352
00:18:22.400 --> 00:18:24.480
<v Speaker 7>But if you're the Dodgers, you're feeling good about where

353
00:18:24.480 --> 00:18:26.720
<v Speaker 7>you're at right now. Winners of three straight, three of

354
00:18:26.799 --> 00:18:28.960
<v Speaker 7>their last fourth, they have been winners here at home,

355
00:18:29.160 --> 00:18:31.079
<v Speaker 7>and the Dodgers get the win tonight's sixty three over

356
00:18:31.079 --> 00:18:32.880
<v Speaker 7>the Podgers. Will take one more call before we take

357
00:18:32.920 --> 00:18:36.960
<v Speaker 7>a break and checking with Jose Mota uh noah, leaving

358
00:18:36.960 --> 00:18:39.079
<v Speaker 7>the games next up here on Dodgers lock.

359
00:18:39.119 --> 00:18:42.079
<v Speaker 11>How you doing, Noah, Yes, sir, how are we doing?

360
00:18:43.680 --> 00:18:47.079
<v Speaker 4>I'm doing great. Dodgers win tonight. Shoe a Otani is.

361
00:18:47.039 --> 00:18:49.680
<v Speaker 11>Back, yep show, he's back.

362
00:18:49.839 --> 00:18:50.400
<v Speaker 9>What a guy?

363
00:18:51.000 --> 00:18:52.319
<v Speaker 4>What a guy is right? Noah?

364
00:18:52.319 --> 00:18:54.000
<v Speaker 7>What'd you think of the one inning to work? What

365
00:18:54.000 --> 00:18:55.559
<v Speaker 7>do you think about the buzz that was at Dodger

366
00:18:55.640 --> 00:18:58.680
<v Speaker 7>Stadium tonight? You were at this game, a sellout crowd

367
00:18:59.079 --> 00:19:01.839
<v Speaker 7>watching him warp. I was here since two three in

368
00:19:01.920 --> 00:19:06.319
<v Speaker 7>the afternoon, Noah, and watching the fans file in early.

369
00:19:06.359 --> 00:19:08.880
<v Speaker 7>When they opened the gates early tonight to get this

370
00:19:09.000 --> 00:19:13.160
<v Speaker 7>capacity crowd here to Dodger Stadium, it was five thirty three.

371
00:19:13.240 --> 00:19:16.720
<v Speaker 7>I looked at my watch, Noah, and I said, Wow,

372
00:19:16.960 --> 00:19:21.519
<v Speaker 7>the pavilion's full. The lower field level tickets are filling in,

373
00:19:21.599 --> 00:19:25.119
<v Speaker 7>the load sections, filling in, the reserve sections, filling in.

374
00:19:25.559 --> 00:19:29.319
<v Speaker 7>It was a playoff like atmosphere. Fans got here early,

375
00:19:29.519 --> 00:19:32.200
<v Speaker 7>Noah to see Showyotani pitch.

376
00:19:33.240 --> 00:19:35.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it was amazing just getting there. We got there

377
00:19:35.720 --> 00:19:40.640
<v Speaker 1>about three hours early, and just the aura around Otani

378
00:19:40.720 --> 00:19:42.799
<v Speaker 1>when he came out was just amazing. You could just

379
00:19:42.799 --> 00:19:45.519
<v Speaker 1>feel it and everybody was excited and it was just

380
00:19:45.559 --> 00:19:48.680
<v Speaker 1>amazing when he came out and he pitched for the inning.

381
00:19:49.119 --> 00:19:50.920
<v Speaker 11>I was I was shaking, and I was kind of

382
00:19:50.920 --> 00:19:54.279
<v Speaker 11>nervous because I wanted him to do good. But I

383
00:19:54.319 --> 00:19:58.119
<v Speaker 11>know he'll build up and be better on and start

384
00:19:58.200 --> 00:20:00.359
<v Speaker 11>to be a good picture for us and give us

385
00:20:00.400 --> 00:20:01.000
<v Speaker 11>alid innings.

386
00:20:02.079 --> 00:20:05.200
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, he's just getting started. Knowing I appreciate the phone call.

387
00:20:05.599 --> 00:20:08.960
<v Speaker 7>He's just getting going. One inning of work tonight. He'll

388
00:20:08.960 --> 00:20:12.079
<v Speaker 7>build on that. We may see more. We may see

389
00:20:12.119 --> 00:20:14.599
<v Speaker 7>the same thing next time out next week when he

390
00:20:14.680 --> 00:20:16.880
<v Speaker 7>goes out there and pitches for the Dodgers. Dave Roberts

391
00:20:16.920 --> 00:20:19.839
<v Speaker 7>alluded to it where we expect now to see showy

392
00:20:19.920 --> 00:20:24.200
<v Speaker 7>Otani once a week out there starting for the Dodgers. Tonight,

393
00:20:24.240 --> 00:20:26.559
<v Speaker 7>it's one inning, and he's going to continue to build

394
00:20:26.599 --> 00:20:30.240
<v Speaker 7>on that moving forward into the All Star break and

395
00:20:30.279 --> 00:20:33.400
<v Speaker 7>then post All Star break. Really start to see it

396
00:20:33.599 --> 00:20:36.559
<v Speaker 7>ramp up as far as his workload on the mound

397
00:20:36.920 --> 00:20:39.359
<v Speaker 7>once a week pitching for the Dodgers. And Dave Roberts

398
00:20:39.359 --> 00:20:41.640
<v Speaker 7>real quick before we take a break, Dave Roberts hit

399
00:20:41.720 --> 00:20:43.920
<v Speaker 7>it on the head. Seeing a lot of baseball as

400
00:20:44.000 --> 00:20:46.920
<v Speaker 7>Dave Roberts as a player, a coach and now manager,

401
00:20:47.319 --> 00:20:50.759
<v Speaker 7>longtime manager now for the Dodgers. You don't see it

402
00:20:50.880 --> 00:20:52.920
<v Speaker 7>very oftense, how rare it is to see a two

403
00:20:52.920 --> 00:20:56.559
<v Speaker 7>way player in baseball. That's why he's a unicorn Showyotani.

404
00:20:56.920 --> 00:21:00.359
<v Speaker 7>But to see show Hey throw the top half of

405
00:21:00.359 --> 00:21:04.359
<v Speaker 7>the first inning, race over to the dugout, not even

406
00:21:04.359 --> 00:21:07.160
<v Speaker 7>go into the dugout, standing on the dirt right in

407
00:21:07.160 --> 00:21:10.200
<v Speaker 7>front of the steps, putting on his shin guard, putting

408
00:21:10.279 --> 00:21:13.319
<v Speaker 7>on his outside shing guard, then putting on his elbow brace,

409
00:21:13.920 --> 00:21:16.599
<v Speaker 7>getting his gloves on his batting gloves, and start to

410
00:21:16.640 --> 00:21:19.119
<v Speaker 7>do his warm up swings in the minute and forty

411
00:21:19.119 --> 00:21:22.279
<v Speaker 7>five seconds that he has in between innings between the

412
00:21:22.319 --> 00:21:23.960
<v Speaker 7>top half of the first and the bottom half of

413
00:21:23.960 --> 00:21:26.119
<v Speaker 7>the first and go out there and lead off for

414
00:21:26.240 --> 00:21:28.960
<v Speaker 7>the Dodgers in the bottom half of the first inning.

415
00:21:29.319 --> 00:21:31.960
<v Speaker 7>You just don't see it. That's like high school baseball.

416
00:21:32.119 --> 00:21:35.240
<v Speaker 7>It's like literle league baseball, where the best player goes

417
00:21:35.279 --> 00:21:37.279
<v Speaker 7>out and pitches. Next thing you know, he's leading off

418
00:21:37.319 --> 00:21:39.880
<v Speaker 7>the inning. You don't see it the big leagues. That's

419
00:21:39.880 --> 00:21:42.480
<v Speaker 7>why it's so cool when you see something like that tonight.

420
00:21:42.680 --> 00:21:44.640
<v Speaker 7>And we've seen show Hey be a two way player

421
00:21:45.279 --> 00:21:48.720
<v Speaker 7>for six years in Anaheim, it's not nothing new. But

422
00:21:49.000 --> 00:21:51.759
<v Speaker 7>as a leadoff hitter, depitch the top of the first,

423
00:21:52.000 --> 00:21:53.920
<v Speaker 7>lead off the bottom of the first. As a hitter,

424
00:21:54.240 --> 00:21:56.200
<v Speaker 7>that is pretty cool. Eight six, six nine eight seven

425
00:21:56.240 --> 00:21:58.359
<v Speaker 7>two five seventy. We'll take a time out, We'll come back.

426

<v Speaker 7>We'll hear from mose Mota.

427
00:21:59.480 --> 00:22:01.079
<v Speaker 4>We'll get to a fin. I'll sleep with the calls.

00:23:10.799 --> 00:23:14.079
<v Speaker 7>twenty twenty three, goes two for fourth to play. Tonight

451
00:23:14.119 --> 00:23:16.160
<v Speaker 7>tied the game in the third part of the five

452
00:23:16.279 --> 00:23:18.440
<v Speaker 7>run fourth inning for the Dodgers offense, in which they

453
00:23:18.480 --> 00:23:21.440
<v Speaker 7>batted around the lineup against Dylan Cease as they get

454
00:23:21.480 --> 00:23:24.319
<v Speaker 7>to win sixty three over the podres.

455
00:23:23.839 --> 00:23:25.480
<v Speaker 4>Tim Kates with you here at Dodger Stadium.

456
00:23:25.480 --> 00:23:28.480
<v Speaker 7>Dodger Talk continues on a FI seventy LA Sports Live

457
00:23:28.599 --> 00:23:30.440
<v Speaker 7>Everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.

458
00:23:30.519 --> 00:23:31.359
<v Speaker 4>Let's check in with Jose.

459
00:23:32.119 --> 00:23:36.000
<v Speaker 6>It's time to go around the horn with Jose Moga.

460
00:23:37.000 --> 00:23:39.799
<v Speaker 7>All right, Jose, you got to witness it in Anaheim

461
00:23:39.839 --> 00:23:42.920
<v Speaker 7>for many years. Show hey Otani, the two way player,

462
00:23:43.319 --> 00:23:46.759
<v Speaker 7>the unicorn. What he does is so special as a pitcher,

463
00:23:46.839 --> 00:23:49.559
<v Speaker 7>as a hitter, and Dodger fans for the first time

464
00:23:49.599 --> 00:23:51.319
<v Speaker 7>tonight got to see him back on the mount.

465
00:23:51.400 --> 00:23:53.319
<v Speaker 4>What did you think in that oneting of work?

466
00:23:54.640 --> 00:23:57.279
<v Speaker 2>I thank you sing the ball quite well, Shohe is

467
00:23:57.559 --> 00:23:59.880
<v Speaker 2>predicted last night was going to be so harder than

468
00:24:00.079 --> 00:24:02.960
<v Speaker 2>we saw in sim games. I've seen this show happen

469
00:24:03.039 --> 00:24:07.880
<v Speaker 2>many times. I feel quite blessed and privileged, but very

470
00:24:07.880 --> 00:24:10.119
<v Speaker 2>proud of him for the fact that he knew that

471
00:24:10.200 --> 00:24:12.240
<v Speaker 2>it was a stake too. He's facing the padres and

472
00:24:12.279 --> 00:24:16.559
<v Speaker 2>he knows these hitters, these hitters know him. Loved the velocity,

473
00:24:16.640 --> 00:24:18.960
<v Speaker 2>loved the command location. Also, one thing too that we

474
00:24:18.960 --> 00:24:21.839
<v Speaker 2>should ever lose sight of Tim is like he wanted

475
00:24:21.880 --> 00:24:24.119
<v Speaker 2>to make every pitch competitive pitch, and there is no

476
00:24:24.240 --> 00:24:28.039
<v Speaker 2>wasted movement, no wasted pitch. Pretty much everything was on time.

477
00:24:28.400 --> 00:24:32.240
<v Speaker 2>Just a little offset maybe with his upper body lower body,

478
00:24:32.279 --> 00:24:34.839
<v Speaker 2>but overall, I'll take that the way the wall's coming

479
00:24:34.839 --> 00:24:36.599
<v Speaker 2>out of his hands, especially a two seamed fast. But

480
00:24:36.680 --> 00:24:38.440
<v Speaker 2>he's been working on that pitch for a long time,

481
00:24:38.480 --> 00:24:41.079
<v Speaker 2>back since last year, thinking about it and watching video

482
00:24:41.680 --> 00:24:43.440
<v Speaker 2>and how to execute it better. But to see it

483
00:24:43.440 --> 00:24:46.680
<v Speaker 2>today with velocity, it was quite a plus. But I'm

484
00:24:46.720 --> 00:24:49.920
<v Speaker 2>so glad fans of Los Angeles, with the big lights,

485
00:24:49.960 --> 00:24:52.039
<v Speaker 2>where he has never pitched before, a two way player,

486
00:24:52.079 --> 00:24:54.440
<v Speaker 2>never plays a two way player, got to see what

487
00:24:54.519 --> 00:24:57.559
<v Speaker 2>a show this is, and certainty it was the attraction

488
00:24:57.799 --> 00:25:03.319
<v Speaker 2>all around, globally, the globally all around baseball anywhere you were.

489
00:25:04.359 --> 00:25:07.079
<v Speaker 7>It's amazing, you know, Hose and I mentioned it earlier.

490
00:25:07.119 --> 00:25:10.559
<v Speaker 7>And to see the fans get here early in their

491
00:25:10.599 --> 00:25:13.279
<v Speaker 7>seats early, to see people stand up along the third

492
00:25:13.279 --> 00:25:16.279
<v Speaker 7>baseline as he made his way out of the Dodgers

493
00:25:16.359 --> 00:25:19.079
<v Speaker 7>dugout to go warm up and left field. To see

494
00:25:19.119 --> 00:25:21.920
<v Speaker 7>him in the bullpen getting warmed up, and people hanging

495
00:25:21.920 --> 00:25:24.960
<v Speaker 7>over the railings on the reserve section looking down just

496
00:25:25.000 --> 00:25:27.480
<v Speaker 7>to get eyes on him. You would have never known

497
00:25:27.480 --> 00:25:29.680
<v Speaker 7>that this guy is in his eighth season in the

498
00:25:29.680 --> 00:25:32.720
<v Speaker 7>big leagues and pitch for six season down the road

499
00:25:32.759 --> 00:25:33.519
<v Speaker 7>in Anaheim.

500
00:25:33.599 --> 00:25:36.160
<v Speaker 4>That's how speciable player he still is.

501
00:25:37.400 --> 00:25:39.839
<v Speaker 2>And that's how unique Dodger fans make it. I mean

502
00:25:39.880 --> 00:25:43.319
<v Speaker 2>to see him number seventeen and Dodger white and blue

503
00:25:44.200 --> 00:25:47.200
<v Speaker 2>under these lights, under the whole expectations. Not just go

504
00:25:47.240 --> 00:25:49.440
<v Speaker 2>out there and put up your stats, but no, you

505
00:25:49.559 --> 00:25:52.519
<v Speaker 2>expect to do well. You prepare for this. He wanted

506
00:25:52.599 --> 00:25:55.119
<v Speaker 2>to be on the mound sooner rather than later. He

507
00:25:55.200 --> 00:25:57.640
<v Speaker 2>knows that those bullets could not be saved anymore, and

508
00:25:57.680 --> 00:26:00.720
<v Speaker 2>why not go out there and try now here and there.

509
00:26:00.759 --> 00:26:04.279
<v Speaker 2>But you know, on top of that is is you

510
00:26:04.279 --> 00:26:05.920
<v Speaker 2>know Max Mounsey was talking about. And I got to

511
00:26:05.920 --> 00:26:09.359
<v Speaker 2>see a lot too, is he really does not get

512
00:26:09.440 --> 00:26:12.559
<v Speaker 2>too distracted from and separates one thing from the other.

513
00:26:12.599 --> 00:26:14.440
<v Speaker 2>He knew what he had to face, and Dylan sees

514
00:26:14.519 --> 00:26:17.319
<v Speaker 2>he knew that any time that he could buy to

515
00:26:17.640 --> 00:26:21.119
<v Speaker 2>get to the conject circle was valuable, and he wanted

516
00:26:21.160 --> 00:26:22.720
<v Speaker 2>to go out there and be a hitter. And that's

517
00:26:23.039 --> 00:26:25.519
<v Speaker 2>the video of the whole thing. And tim The thing

518
00:26:25.599 --> 00:26:28.440
<v Speaker 2>too is I've gotten to see the evolution of this

519
00:26:28.480 --> 00:26:31.240
<v Speaker 2>whole thing. How was evolved. And consider this, when he

520
00:26:31.240 --> 00:26:34.240
<v Speaker 2>first came to the big leagues, the rule was, and

521
00:26:34.279 --> 00:26:38.039
<v Speaker 2>there was implemented by GM back then, no hitting the

522
00:26:38.160 --> 00:26:42.359
<v Speaker 2>day before, the day of, and the day after you pitch.

523
00:26:42.440 --> 00:26:44.440
<v Speaker 2>And I'm thinking to myself, Okay, if he was doing

524
00:26:44.440 --> 00:26:47.759
<v Speaker 2>it in Japan, I understand his different baseball and everything

525
00:26:47.759 --> 00:26:50.000
<v Speaker 2>in the rigors of baseball in long season, but he's

526
00:26:50.039 --> 00:26:52.079
<v Speaker 2>losing a lot in terms of timing with his hit,

527
00:26:52.240 --> 00:26:54.279
<v Speaker 2>with his as a hitter. Right and then oh and

528
00:26:54.359 --> 00:26:56.160
<v Speaker 2>go and play now I'm going to face Verlander and

529
00:26:56.200 --> 00:26:59.960
<v Speaker 2>Garrett Cole, Thank you very much. Right, So Dan came,

530
00:27:00.880 --> 00:27:03.680
<v Speaker 2>Joe Madden and Paramantas just say you no, no, how

531
00:27:03.759 --> 00:27:05.079
<v Speaker 2>much you want to play. He goes, I want to

532
00:27:05.079 --> 00:27:07.119
<v Speaker 2>play every single day, and there he have it. That's

533
00:27:07.119 --> 00:27:08.160
<v Speaker 2>what he is at Unicorn.

534
00:27:09.759 --> 00:27:11.880
<v Speaker 7>The Dodgers tonight in the fourth inning and put up

535
00:27:11.920 --> 00:27:15.000
<v Speaker 7>a five spot. Freddy Freeman led off the inning. Freddie

536
00:27:15.000 --> 00:27:17.480
<v Speaker 7>Freeman made the final out of the inning.

537
00:27:17.519 --> 00:27:18.960
<v Speaker 4>He made two of the three outs, by the way

538
00:27:19.039 --> 00:27:20.880
<v Speaker 4>in that fourth inning for the Dodgers.

539
00:27:21.279 --> 00:27:24.920
<v Speaker 7>I thought a big moment was when Andy Paez got

540
00:27:25.000 --> 00:27:26.039
<v Speaker 7>hit by a pitch.

541
00:27:26.799 --> 00:27:28.440
<v Speaker 4>It was a three to two Dodger lead.

542
00:27:28.519 --> 00:27:31.640
<v Speaker 7>Max Munsey just singled into Oscar Hernandez and Will Smith

543
00:27:32.160 --> 00:27:34.200
<v Speaker 7>and on the second pitch from Dylan Seas, he takes

544
00:27:34.240 --> 00:27:38.160
<v Speaker 7>a ninety seven mile an hour fastball in the side

545
00:27:38.279 --> 00:27:41.759
<v Speaker 7>and he didn't like it, and he said something out

546
00:27:41.759 --> 00:27:45.799
<v Speaker 7>to Dylan Cees. The benches, you know, got stirred up

547
00:27:45.839 --> 00:27:48.200
<v Speaker 7>a little bit. Both managers came out of the field,

548
00:27:48.240 --> 00:27:52.240
<v Speaker 7>cooler heads prevailed. The Dodgers then would go on to

549
00:27:52.359 --> 00:27:55.640
<v Speaker 7>score four more runs in the inning, a five spot

550
00:27:55.680 --> 00:27:58.240
<v Speaker 7>put up in the inning, six hits total, and that

551
00:27:58.400 --> 00:27:59.960
<v Speaker 7>was really the difference in the game. Getting to l

552
00:28:00.200 --> 00:28:02.480
<v Speaker 7>season that anything, I think that Andy pie is getting

553
00:28:02.559 --> 00:28:04.759
<v Speaker 7>hit by a pitch kind of let a fire underneath

554
00:28:04.759 --> 00:28:07.279
<v Speaker 7>the Dodgers and got this crowd going too.

555
00:28:07.920 --> 00:28:09.400
<v Speaker 2>Let me Terry Man, I tipped my hat to Andy

556
00:28:09.440 --> 00:28:11.920
<v Speaker 2>Pines as a young player. You sent the statement right

557
00:28:11.920 --> 00:28:14.960
<v Speaker 2>there to your teammates too, saying you know what you

558
00:28:15.000 --> 00:28:17.039
<v Speaker 2>can pitch inside, but I also know that I got

559
00:28:17.119 --> 00:28:19.079
<v Speaker 2>you in the first time up the first hit double.

560
00:28:19.160 --> 00:28:22.079
<v Speaker 2>The other way the Dodgers did get Tatis over there

561
00:28:22.079 --> 00:28:24.359
<v Speaker 2>in San Diego, and he goes, okay, but I'm not

562
00:28:24.440 --> 00:28:25.759
<v Speaker 2>going to go lightly And the best thing for a

563
00:28:25.799 --> 00:28:27.200
<v Speaker 2>player is to go out there and get on base,

564
00:28:27.240 --> 00:28:29.359
<v Speaker 2>say thanks for the base runner, by the way, and

565
00:28:29.400 --> 00:28:32.400
<v Speaker 2>then to score. You talk about the ultimate slap that

566
00:28:32.559 --> 00:28:35.079
<v Speaker 2>really hurts a guy like Dylan seasons if in terms

567
00:28:35.119 --> 00:28:37.799
<v Speaker 2>of numbers he just struck out twenty Dodgers his last

568
00:28:37.799 --> 00:28:41.960
<v Speaker 2>two outings in twelve innings and today one small window

569
00:28:42.279 --> 00:28:44.279
<v Speaker 2>because of the tope of game they play with a

570
00:28:44.279 --> 00:28:47.480
<v Speaker 2>stolen base, with alert base running, with just putting the

571
00:28:47.480 --> 00:28:49.920
<v Speaker 2>ball in play, this small one. Do you take advantage

572
00:28:49.920 --> 00:28:52.240
<v Speaker 2>of the against the premier pitchers a they did against

573
00:28:52.279 --> 00:28:54.480
<v Speaker 2>him in the playoffs is exactly what you want to

574
00:28:54.480 --> 00:28:56.839
<v Speaker 2>see from this type of offense, not necessarily going on

575
00:28:57.079 --> 00:28:58.400
<v Speaker 2>just looking for those lugs.

576
00:29:00.359 --> 00:29:03.119
<v Speaker 4>We appreciate it. We will check in with you tomorrow. Nights.

577
00:29:03.119 --> 00:29:05.920
<v Speaker 7>As the Dodgers rolling, now winners of three in a row,

578
00:29:05.920 --> 00:29:08.160
<v Speaker 7>it took two or three from San Francisco. They take

579
00:29:08.200 --> 00:29:10.559
<v Speaker 7>the series opener tonight, looking to keep the winning going

580
00:29:10.559 --> 00:29:11.680
<v Speaker 7>to morrow against San Diego.

581
00:29:11.720 --> 00:29:12.799
<v Speaker 4>We appreciate it.

582
00:29:13.000 --> 00:29:14.359
<v Speaker 2>Hey, historic night in La Man.

<v Speaker 4>Thanks absolutely, there he goes.

584
00:29:16.680 --> 00:29:19.640
<v Speaker 7>Jose motives the Dodgers get the win over the Padres

585
00:29:19.640 --> 00:29:22.599
<v Speaker 7>tonight six to three show. Hey Otani drives in a

586
00:29:22.640 --> 00:29:25.160
<v Speaker 7>pair of runs, also gets to start tonight twenty eight

587
00:29:25.200 --> 00:29:27.799
<v Speaker 7>pitches in one inning of work in his first outing

588
00:29:28.119 --> 00:29:30.400
<v Speaker 7>in six hundred and thirty three days.

589
00:29:30.519 --> 00:29:33.839
<v Speaker 4>Lee is next up on Dodger Talk. How you doing, Lee?

590
00:29:34.440 --> 00:29:34.680
<v Speaker 1>Hey?

591
00:29:34.920 --> 00:29:35.319
<v Speaker 3>How are you?

592
00:29:35.480 --> 00:29:35.720
<v Speaker 9>Jim?

593
00:29:35.720 --> 00:29:38.319
<v Speaker 3>And I didn't call you Jim, And you're not going

594
00:29:38.359 --> 00:29:40.319
<v Speaker 3>to have to carry me like you've carried these last

595
00:29:40.319 --> 00:29:43.759
<v Speaker 3>few callers before, Jose. So the first thing I want

596
00:29:43.799 --> 00:29:46.279
<v Speaker 3>to touch on. I was at the game, and you're right,

597
00:29:46.400 --> 00:29:48.960
<v Speaker 3>it was quiet when Shoe was on the mound, but

598
00:29:49.279 --> 00:29:52.079
<v Speaker 3>my son was with Van. I was telling him it

599
00:29:52.200 --> 00:29:55.680
<v Speaker 3>was sort of like watching a Laker game and Lebron

600
00:29:55.759 --> 00:29:59.359
<v Speaker 3>shooting free throws. The crowd's quiet, and that's what I

601
00:29:59.400 --> 00:30:01.039
<v Speaker 3>think it was. We want to show it to do

602
00:30:01.200 --> 00:30:04.920
<v Speaker 3>so good. We weren't getting into it like we would normally.

603
00:30:05.400 --> 00:30:08.079
<v Speaker 3>The second thing I want to touch on is that

604
00:30:08.359 --> 00:30:11.920
<v Speaker 3>the Dodger pull bit when healthy is the strength of

605
00:30:11.960 --> 00:30:16.160
<v Speaker 3>their team, over the starters, over over the players. When

606
00:30:16.160 --> 00:30:19.759
<v Speaker 3>they're healthy, they are They're going to be the team

607
00:30:19.839 --> 00:30:22.599
<v Speaker 3>to beat going forward when healthy, because if you have

608
00:30:22.680 --> 00:30:25.480
<v Speaker 3>a lead after five minutes, their pull vend it's lights out.

609
00:30:25.920 --> 00:30:28.119
<v Speaker 3>If they can be anything like they've been in the past.

610
00:30:28.200 --> 00:30:31.240
<v Speaker 3>And the third thing, and the last thing is I

611
00:30:31.319 --> 00:30:33.440
<v Speaker 3>root for every Dodger as hard as I can, but

612
00:30:33.480 --> 00:30:36.039
<v Speaker 3>it's time to give Kim. I heard another call of

613
00:30:36.079 --> 00:30:38.319
<v Speaker 3>call earlier. It's time to let him play like for

614
00:30:38.400 --> 00:30:41.599
<v Speaker 3>a month. Whether it's right righty's or lefties, it's time

615
00:30:41.640 --> 00:30:45.519
<v Speaker 3>to let him play. And Confordo can play here and there,

616
00:30:45.559 --> 00:30:47.839
<v Speaker 3>he can be a small player, but we got to

617
00:30:47.839 --> 00:30:50.519
<v Speaker 3>see what Kim can do over a course of a month.

618
00:30:50.960 --> 00:30:53.359
<v Speaker 3>So that's all I got And I'll take your comments

619
00:30:53.400 --> 00:30:55.200
<v Speaker 3>and I'll listen to it that I drive out here.

620
00:30:55.519 --> 00:30:57.680
<v Speaker 3>Thank you Jim rightly, Thank you Lee.

621
00:30:57.720 --> 00:30:59.440
<v Speaker 4>I appreciate you. Thank you for the nice words.

622
00:31:00.319 --> 00:31:03.759
<v Speaker 7>It'll be interesting to see how much more playing time

623
00:31:03.880 --> 00:31:08.079
<v Speaker 7>I saw Kim gets on an everyday basis, I'm with you.

624
00:31:08.440 --> 00:31:11.680
<v Speaker 7>I think he brings a spark and energy on the

625
00:31:11.720 --> 00:31:16.039
<v Speaker 7>bass pass. Defensively, he's getting better in center field. Certainly

626
00:31:16.079 --> 00:31:18.440
<v Speaker 7>at the plate, he brings something to the bottom of

627
00:31:18.440 --> 00:31:21.079
<v Speaker 7>the lineup, and the speed is an issue as well

628
00:31:21.359 --> 00:31:23.680
<v Speaker 7>and a problem for teams. Even the ground ball. He

629
00:31:23.720 --> 00:31:26.119
<v Speaker 7>can lay it out and beat out a play and

630
00:31:26.279 --> 00:31:28.960
<v Speaker 7>make it tough on a defense when he puts the

631
00:31:28.960 --> 00:31:31.799
<v Speaker 7>ball in play. I would love to see more of him, absolutely,

632
00:31:32.079 --> 00:31:34.440
<v Speaker 7>but we'll see where he fits into the equation on

633
00:31:34.440 --> 00:31:36.720
<v Speaker 7>an every day basis, or if he's gonna get a

634
00:31:36.799 --> 00:31:38.880
<v Speaker 7>start once the series moving forward.

635
00:31:40.119 --> 00:31:40.799
<v Speaker 4>I just don't know.

636
00:31:40.960 --> 00:31:43.920
<v Speaker 7>I mean, Michael Conforto's at a sluggish start, There's no

637
00:31:43.960 --> 00:31:47.039
<v Speaker 7>doubt about it. He picked it up, but you know,

638
00:31:47.119 --> 00:31:49.559
<v Speaker 7>he's just kind of just at cruise control right now.

639
00:31:49.599 --> 00:31:51.400
<v Speaker 7>And I know a lot of Dodger fans would live

640
00:31:51.440 --> 00:31:53.759
<v Speaker 7>to see Kim out there on an everyday basis. Daniels

648
00:32:11.559 --> 00:32:13.519
<v Speaker 7>on this Dodger talk here on Monday and night.

649
00:32:13.519 --> 00:32:14.359
<v Speaker 4>How you doing, Adrian.

650
00:32:15.559 --> 00:32:16.480
<v Speaker 11>I'm doing pretty great.

651
00:32:16.599 --> 00:32:18.799
<v Speaker 8>I'm almost home. And what a game today?

652
00:32:19.680 --> 00:32:20.920
<v Speaker 4>What a game? What about?

653
00:32:21.119 --> 00:32:24.799
<v Speaker 7>As I described Adrian, the pregame warm ups of show,

654
00:32:24.799 --> 00:32:27.119
<v Speaker 7>Hey o Tani, the long toss in the outfield, the

655
00:32:27.119 --> 00:32:31.319
<v Speaker 7>bullpen session, people just were clamoring over each other just

656
00:32:31.359 --> 00:32:33.000
<v Speaker 7>to see him throw the baseball.

657
00:32:33.240 --> 00:32:34.079
<v Speaker 4>It was amazing.

658
00:32:34.119 --> 00:32:36.960
<v Speaker 7>And the quietness of the top half of the first

659
00:32:37.039 --> 00:32:41.240
<v Speaker 7>inning in between pitches. It was something to see out

660
00:32:41.240 --> 00:32:42.920
<v Speaker 7>there tonight. And I can't see I can't wait to

661
00:32:42.920 --> 00:32:44.200
<v Speaker 7>see more of it moving forward.

662
00:32:45.599 --> 00:32:48.119
<v Speaker 8>I know, It's just I guess I got a feeling

663
00:32:48.200 --> 00:32:50.240
<v Speaker 8>of it just being super surreal, Like we signed this

664
00:32:50.279 --> 00:32:53.039
<v Speaker 8>guy for so much back in December twenty twenty three,

665
00:32:53.279 --> 00:32:55.319
<v Speaker 8>and now we're seeing him fully realizing in all of

666
00:32:55.319 --> 00:32:56.319
<v Speaker 8>his Dodger potential.

667
00:32:58.039 --> 00:33:01.039
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, it's it's gonna be fun seeing him healthy and

668
00:33:01.119 --> 00:33:04.200
<v Speaker 7>on the mound pitching once a week for this Dodgers team.

669
00:33:04.240 --> 00:33:07.759
<v Speaker 7>And I appreciate the fall phone call Adrian just quickly,

670
00:33:07.799 --> 00:33:09.079
<v Speaker 7>Dodger fans, think about this.

671
00:33:09.640 --> 00:33:11.559
<v Speaker 4>You got Kershaw pitching the way he's pitching.

672
00:33:11.880 --> 00:33:15.799
<v Speaker 7>Yoshi Yamamoto has been the best Dodger starter here in

673
00:33:15.839 --> 00:33:18.440
<v Speaker 7>twenty twenty five, certainly in the first half of this season.

674
00:33:18.960 --> 00:33:21.759
<v Speaker 7>You add to that Dustin May when he's on, he's

675
00:33:21.799 --> 00:33:25.119
<v Speaker 7>really good. You're gonna get Tyler Glass now back, Blake

676
00:33:25.200 --> 00:33:29.160
<v Speaker 7>Snell's gonna come back. You got Ben Casparius, who has

677
00:33:29.279 --> 00:33:33.319
<v Speaker 7>proven whatever role he has been asked to be in opener,

678
00:33:33.839 --> 00:33:37.839
<v Speaker 7>long guy, reliever, and now back into this rotation where

679
00:33:37.839 --> 00:33:39.640
<v Speaker 7>he was as a starter in the minor leagues.

680
00:33:39.960 --> 00:33:40.640
<v Speaker 4>He can do it.

681
00:33:41.079 --> 00:33:43.960
<v Speaker 7>And now you add Shoeyo Tani pitching once a week,

682
00:33:44.119 --> 00:33:47.200
<v Speaker 7>making a start and ramping up and hopefully getting back

683
00:33:47.200 --> 00:33:49.960
<v Speaker 7>to an elite level. This is how we pitched it.

684
00:33:50.000 --> 00:33:53.319
<v Speaker 7>This is how the front office imagine the Dodger rotation

685
00:33:53.400 --> 00:33:56.400
<v Speaker 7>would look win healthy. We just haven't seen it all

686
00:33:56.440 --> 00:34:00.319
<v Speaker 7>season long, but it was starting to get into that

687
00:34:00.319 --> 00:34:03.759
<v Speaker 7>that look where we're gonna see all the starting pitchers healthy.

688
00:34:04.000 --> 00:34:07.000
<v Speaker 7>The bullpen looks the way it has tonight. Look out

689
00:34:07.240 --> 00:34:12.280
<v Speaker 7>when you got Vesia Kopek, Tanner, Scott Kirby, Yates for

690
00:34:12.559 --> 00:34:15.760
<v Speaker 7>high leverage relievers to get you the final twelve outs

691
00:34:15.800 --> 00:34:17.599
<v Speaker 7>of a game, the final nine outs of a game,

692
00:34:17.960 --> 00:34:22.559
<v Speaker 7>in whatever kind of combination. It's gonna be hard to

693
00:34:22.639 --> 00:34:26.119
<v Speaker 7>get runs against this Dodger's bullpen and this Dodgers' offense

694
00:34:26.159 --> 00:34:28.800
<v Speaker 7>we certainly know can put up runs at any time.

695
00:34:28.880 --> 00:34:31.880
<v Speaker 7>All Right, that's gonna do it for Dodger Talk tonight. Sorry,

696
00:34:31.920 --> 00:34:35.280
<v Speaker 7>Brad Paisley didn't have time for you tonight. Maybe tomorrow.

697
00:34:35.320 --> 00:34:37.320
<v Speaker 7>Thanks to Dwayne McDonald here in the booth for staying
