This Dodger team, 3 00:00:11.400 --> 00:00:15.039 they just don't die. They don't go away down five 4 00:00:15.199 --> 00:00:19.760 to nothing. Didn't look good, sloppy defense, miscues on the 5 00:00:19.800 --> 00:00:23.120 bass pass, not a great start from Blake Snell. And 6 00:00:23.199 --> 00:00:25.519 what do they do? They lock it down with the 7 00:00:25.559 --> 00:00:29.160 bullpen the final five innings and the Dodgers offense just 8 00:00:29.440 --> 00:00:33.000 chip chip chip chips away at a five to nothing deficit, 9 00:00:33.159 --> 00:00:35.679 ties it in the eighth where then Max Mounty two 10 00:00:35.799 --> 00:00:38.759 run double and Showy o'tany walks it off in the 11 00:00:38.840 --> 00:00:41.759 ninth inning.

You're not going anywhere. Just talk some Dodgers baseball. 25 00:01:21.319 --> 00:01:23.920 Eight sixty six, nine eighty seven to two, five seventy 26 00:01:23.959 --> 00:01:27.159 one a night. It started hours before the game at 27 00:01:27.159 --> 00:01:31.079 Dodger Stadium, before the gates even opened up, one hundreds, 28 00:01:31.120 --> 00:01:34.760 if not thousands, waiting in line to get in so 29 00:01:34.799 --> 00:01:37.680 they can get one of the bobbleheads of show hey Otani, 30 00:01:37.719 --> 00:01:41.079 the one of four that he'll have this season when 31 00:01:41.079 --> 00:01:45.040 the gates open. Dodger fans rushed in when the game started. 32 00:01:45.480 --> 00:01:47.879 Maybe some of them rushed out after the Dodgers fell 33 00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:51.599 behind five to nothing, but for those that stuck around 34 00:01:51.640 --> 00:01:56.359 for nine innings, it's a twenty seven out sport, and 35 00:01:56.400 --> 00:02:01.000 the Dodgers needed all twenty seven tonight against the Atlanta Braves. 36 00:02:01.640 --> 00:02:04.439 Down five to nothing, down five to two, down five 37 00:02:04.439 --> 00:02:06.719 to three, tied it at five in the age Colin, 38 00:02:06.920 --> 00:02:09.800 one more Timelets here, oh walk off for show?

A Ciinara swing, Pat, and that bad 49 00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:57.759 boy Stephen Nelson, A Ciinara swing. I love it. We're 50 00:02:57.800 --> 00:03:01.159 gonna hear that a lot more than season, as we're 51 00:03:01.240 --> 00:03:05.520 eight games in and the Dodgers have six comfort behind victories, 52 00:03:05.800 --> 00:03:09.599 and tonight on his bobblehead night, sho he Otani delivered 53 00:03:09.919 --> 00:03:11.919 with the solo home run to his center. He was 54 00:03:11.960 --> 00:03:15.240 three for five on the evening, got on base a 55 00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:18.439 couple of times. The Dodgers had their chances, and I 56 00:03:18.560 --> 00:03:20.879 was all ready to come on here to Dodger Talk 57 00:03:20.960 --> 00:03:24.280 and start defending what happened late in the game with 58 00:03:24.360 --> 00:03:27.120 the guys on base, and really no excuse for the 59 00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:30.599 Dodgers early on the miscues on the bass pass. Andy 60 00:03:30.599 --> 00:03:33.360 pie has got doubled up at third on a comebacker 61 00:03:33.400 --> 00:03:36.000 to the mound. You had Michael Confordo trying to go 62 00:03:36.120 --> 00:03:40.080 first to third in like third gear on a hard 63 00:03:40.159 --> 00:03:43.039 hit ball to right field and gets thrown out at third. 64 00:03:43.240 --> 00:03:47.000 That wasn't good. And then then defensive miscues Max Munsey's 65 00:03:47.039 --> 00:03:52.039 two throwing theirs, a communication issue between Blake Snell and 66 00:03:52.120 --> 00:03:55.759 keik Hernanez on a good bunt into no man's land 67 00:03:55.759 --> 00:03:58.199 there along the right field side of the infield, and 68 00:03:58.240 --> 00:04:02.039 then Andy pot Has boxing the ball in center field. 69 00:04:02.120 --> 00:04:05.719 They ruled it a two run double, but really it 70 00:04:05.800 --> 00:04:09.800 was an air on Pajez on the Aussie Albi's double 71 00:04:09.879 --> 00:04:12.879 in the second. Just not the Dodger team we are 72 00:04:13.039 --> 00:04:16.680 used to seeing. For the first seven games, efficient played 73 00:04:16.720 --> 00:04:20.439 good defense, good pitching, really good bullpen, and of course 74 00:04:20.720 --> 00:04:24.360 timely hitting. And that didn't really start for the Dodgers 75 00:04:24.480 --> 00:04:27.120 until after Blake Snell was gone. The Dodgers had made 76 00:04:27.160 --> 00:04:30.240 it a five to three game, had opportunities in the fifth, 77 00:04:30.920 --> 00:04:34.079 didn't get across any runs, had opportunities in the sixth, 78 00:04:34.680 --> 00:04:37.000 and couldn't get across runs even though they had runners 79 00:04:37.000 --> 00:04:39.639 on first and third in the eighth. In he though 80 00:04:39.920 --> 00:04:44.240 redemption time for Max Munci as he doubles to right 81 00:04:44.319 --> 00:04:48.680 center field to score two runs with two outs, and 82 00:04:48.720 --> 00:04:51.600 he abandoned the torpedo bat that everybody's talking about. He 83 00:04:51.680 --> 00:04:53.920 used it in batting practice, he used it for his 84 00:04:54.000 --> 00:04:57.639 first couple at bats tonight against the Atlanta Braves. But 85 00:04:57.720 --> 00:05:01.720 in the eighth inning, when the Dodgers were runners on 86 00:05:01.800 --> 00:05:05.240 second and third, he brought back that silver gray bat 87 00:05:05.720 --> 00:05:08.040 and deliver with the double the right center field to 88 00:05:08.120 --> 00:05:10.040 tie the game. And then, of course you just heard it, 89 00:05:10.120 --> 00:05:15.480 show Heotani with the walkoff double. I'm speechless as so 90 00:05:15.560 --> 00:05:19.240 far as what this team did tonight because it was 91 00:05:19.279 --> 00:05:21.879 a game, as Dave Roberts said, they had no business 92 00:05:21.920 --> 00:05:26.040 winning the way they played early, but they chipped away, 93 00:05:26.120 --> 00:05:28.680 they hung around, and I sat in the clubout show 94 00:05:28.720 --> 00:05:31.680 and I'll repeat it right now, as excited as we 95 00:05:31.720 --> 00:05:35.319 are about months he redeeming himself. Show Heyotani with the 96 00:05:35.360 --> 00:05:38.519 walk off home run. You gotta tip your cap to 97 00:05:38.639 --> 00:05:42.839 Ben A. Sparius, Kirby Yates and Jack Dryer, two guys 98 00:05:42.839 --> 00:05:45.480 that were in the minor leagues a year ago. And 99 00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:48.360 Kirby Yates, who is a dominant closer and has been 100 00:05:48.399 --> 00:05:52.639 for a few years. Benkus Sparrius gets himself out of 101 00:05:52.680 --> 00:05:55.120 a basis loaded jam, in the sixth. That could have 102 00:05:55.240 --> 00:05:58.480 just been the death nail for the Dodgers. In the sixth, 103 00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:01.839 Dodgers up five or down five to three. If Casparrius 104 00:06:01.920 --> 00:06:05.480 gives up runs and the Braves tack on more, the 105 00:06:05.639 --> 00:06:08.360 life of the Dodgers could have just been exhaled out 106 00:06:08.680 --> 00:06:11.480 and they would have just been ballgame. But instead he 107 00:06:11.639 --> 00:06:14.680 keeps it at a five to three game. Kirby Yates 108 00:06:14.680 --> 00:06:19.199 pitches the seventh, works around an infield single, and Jack 109 00:06:19.319 --> 00:06:22.439 Dryer a one two three eighth, a one two three 110 00:06:22.639 --> 00:06:25.639 ninth in two winnings of relief, kept it out of 111 00:06:25.759 --> 00:06:28.279 five to three game, kept it so they can keep 112 00:06:28.360 --> 00:06:31.439 chipping away and tie it in the eighth, kept the 113 00:06:31.560 --> 00:06:33.279 zero on the board of the ninth inning at a 114 00:06:33.279 --> 00:06:35.399 five to five game, so the nine to one to 115 00:06:35.399 --> 00:06:38.279 two hitters can come up for the Dodgers in the 116 00:06:38.279 --> 00:06:40.040 bottom half of the ninth and give him a chance 117 00:06:40.399 --> 00:06:43.959 and not having to be down six to five chasing 118 00:06:44.000 --> 00:06:46.000 a run needing two to win it in the bottom 119 00:06:46.000 --> 00:06:49.040 of the ninth. The bullpen did their jobs, and it's 120 00:06:49.079 --> 00:06:52.160 not gonna show up, you know, on on Sports Center. 121 00:06:52.399 --> 00:06:54.240 It's you're not gonna see it on Sports and at 122 00:06:54.399 --> 00:06:57.680 LA Marios Saliz isn't gonna have it on Channel four 123 00:06:57.720 --> 00:06:59.680 to nine or Jim Hill on Channel two. What a 124 00:06:59.720 --> 00:07:02.120 great how the bullpen did. But I'm gonna give the 125 00:07:02.199 --> 00:07:04.680 round of applause to the bullpen for what they did, 126 00:07:04.879 --> 00:07:09.160 keeping it at five runs for the Atlanta Braves, keeping 127 00:07:09.199 --> 00:07:13.240 it right there, and allowing the Dodgers' offense, which is 128 00:07:13.600 --> 00:07:17.319 arguably the best in baseball top to bottom, to get 129 00:07:17.360 --> 00:07:20.240 back in this game, tie it, and then win it 130 00:07:20.680 --> 00:07:22.920 with the walk off home run six to five, eight 131 00:07:22.959 --> 00:07:25.199 sixty six, nine eighty seven, two five seventy. We're gonna 132 00:07:25.199 --> 00:07:26.959 hear from Jose Moda coming up a couple of minutes. 133 00:07:27.000 --> 00:07:31.279 Heather leaving Dodger Stadium. Heather, welcome to Dodger Talk. What 134 00:07:31.399 --> 00:07:34.160 a thrillian night out of Dodger Stadium. 135 00:07:35.040 --> 00:07:36.240 Hey, so great to talk to you. 136 00:07:36.319 --> 00:07:38.680 We were here the whole family. We drove out from 137 00:07:38.759 --> 00:07:40.759 Utah and we always tried to come Opening Day or 138 00:07:40.800 --> 00:07:44.160 Opening week and came to the game Monday and Wednesday, 139 00:07:44.240 --> 00:07:46.439 and wow, this one was a little bit of a 140 00:07:46.480 --> 00:07:50.560 nail bier. We were a little bit worried about Monsey 141 00:07:50.759 --> 00:07:53.480 and how some of these players were just not quite 142 00:07:53.800 --> 00:07:56.040 in sync. But that's the thing, like you were saying, 143 00:07:56.040 --> 00:07:58.000 with the Dodgers, they're just never out of it and 144 00:07:58.040 --> 00:08:01.160 they'll always always stay in And like you said, the 145 00:08:01.160 --> 00:08:04.519 bullpen was awesome. They really came through tonight and I'm 146 00:08:04.600 --> 00:08:07.120 kind of I'm happy to see that Max kind of 147 00:08:07.160 --> 00:08:10.120 turned into mad Max and got that big hit in 148 00:08:10.160 --> 00:08:12.560 the eights, because that's what we were all waiting for. Yeah, 149 00:08:12.560 --> 00:08:15.120 and then show, Hey, you know, Bobblehead Night comes up 150 00:08:15.399 --> 00:08:17.600 and gets that big home run for the walkoff, and 151 00:08:17.920 --> 00:08:21.000 that's exactly what we need as Dodger fans and what 152 00:08:21.040 --> 00:08:23.040 we get excited to come every single night. A lot 153 00:08:23.040 --> 00:08:25.279 of people left early, and I'm going don't leave early 154 00:08:25.319 --> 00:08:27.319 because it's going to be awesome, I promise you. 155 00:08:27.800 --> 00:08:28.199 So it was. 156 00:08:28.360 --> 00:08:30.360 It was a great game, no doubt about it. 157 00:08:30.399 --> 00:08:30.600 Heather. 158 00:08:30.680 --> 00:08:33.000 Appreciate the phone call. I don't know if Heather you 159 00:08:33.039 --> 00:08:35.519 heard the post game with David Vasse on the field 160 00:08:35.559 --> 00:08:40.320 with Max Munsey, how emotional Max was, and just imagine 161 00:08:40.360 --> 00:08:43.720 being in his shoes for a minute. The game starts 162 00:08:43.720 --> 00:08:47.000 in the first a throwing air opens the scoring for 163 00:08:47.159 --> 00:08:50.399 the Atlanta Braves, and then, as they say in baseball, 164 00:08:50.799 --> 00:08:54.320 the ball finds you and not a good way, and 165 00:08:54.360 --> 00:08:58.440 the second inning started with him having another throwing air. 166 00:08:59.000 --> 00:09:01.399 A bunt single later in the inning opened the gates 167 00:09:01.440 --> 00:09:03.879 again for the Braves, but it all started with the 168 00:09:03.919 --> 00:09:06.960 second throwing air for Maxi Munci. He had an opportunity 169 00:09:07.000 --> 00:09:08.720 to come up middle of the game with runners on 170 00:09:08.879 --> 00:09:12.159 and couldn't deliver with the base hit. So, you know, 171 00:09:12.480 --> 00:09:15.200 Max who's an emotional player. We love that about him, 172 00:09:15.600 --> 00:09:18.480 certainly not feeling well about the way he handled those 173 00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:23.240 first two innings defensively, struggling at the plate, not just tonight, 174 00:09:23.559 --> 00:09:26.960 but the first seven games going into tonight's game against 175 00:09:26.960 --> 00:09:30.440 the Braves, hitting over just under one hundred on the season, 176 00:09:31.720 --> 00:09:34.240 and to come up in the eighth inning, you know, 177 00:09:34.399 --> 00:09:37.320 feel like you let your team down. You're the guy 178 00:09:37.399 --> 00:09:39.639 that kind of opened the door for the Braves. Maybe 179 00:09:39.840 --> 00:09:42.879 you feel like you lost the game for Blake Snell 180 00:09:43.480 --> 00:09:46.519 and your team after a seven to zero start. To 181 00:09:46.639 --> 00:09:49.000 come back and having to feel like that, and then 182 00:09:49.679 --> 00:09:52.320 the jubilation of hey, I just hit a ball right 183 00:09:52.360 --> 00:09:54.960 center field and tied this thing up, gave our team 184 00:09:55.039 --> 00:09:57.759 new life and a chance to maybe win it. Man, 185 00:09:57.799 --> 00:10:00.960 that's a roller coaster of emotions for maximun and tonight 186 00:10:01.120 --> 00:10:03.679 late in the game felt like a playoff game. The 187 00:10:03.720 --> 00:10:06.799 excitement at Dodgers Stadium, the people that were fired up 188 00:10:06.799 --> 00:10:08.559 in the eighth and ninth inning for the Dodgers, and 189 00:10:08.600 --> 00:10:10.919 the comeback, and then certainly, howckey you not be excited 190 00:10:10.919 --> 00:10:13.440 for a walk off win by show Hey, o Tani, 191 00:10:13.519 --> 00:10:16.519 let's check you out, Jose Motive, It's time to go 192 00:10:16.639 --> 00:10:20.399 around the horn with Hosean Mota, I mean Jose a 193 00:10:20.519 --> 00:10:23.480 walk off home run on his bobblehead nights the day 194 00:10:23.559 --> 00:10:26.519 started with people waiting hours to get a bobblehead, and 195 00:10:26.559 --> 00:10:30.039 it ends with people leaving Dodger Stadium after a walk 196 00:10:30.039 --> 00:10:32.080 off home run. What a night for the Dodgers. 197 00:10:32.879 --> 00:10:35.799 Isn't that something I mean Dodger team overall beyond the 198 00:10:35.840 --> 00:10:39.039 show Hey, expectations and the bibblehead and how terrific it 199 00:10:39.240 --> 00:10:41.879 was people lining up since last night, And I think, 200 00:10:43.399 --> 00:10:47.080 and I wonder how many households, how many booths? So 201 00:10:47.120 --> 00:10:49.799 obviously the home booths were all thinking the same thing. 202 00:10:50.360 --> 00:10:53.120 How about bibblehead? How about a menu or Maris moment? 203 00:10:53.159 --> 00:10:56.039 How about a showhill Tony walk up right and he 204 00:10:56.120 --> 00:10:59.080 delivers again. He was in Tokyo. He delivers. I mean 205 00:10:59.120 --> 00:11:01.840 wherever he plays, it's crazy how good he is. But 206 00:11:01.879 --> 00:11:05.519 I think overall with Shohey and who also sounded very emotional, 207 00:11:05.799 --> 00:11:07.840 it's good to hear him say that fan yell at 208 00:11:07.879 --> 00:11:10.919 him about that. Yeah, I think it's terrific. But you 209 00:11:10.960 --> 00:11:13.600 know what I applaud Max Mounsey. It's not easy and 210 00:11:13.720 --> 00:11:16.279 haven't been there before. You cost your team runs early 211 00:11:16.320 --> 00:11:18.039 in the game and then you almost don't want the 212 00:11:18.080 --> 00:11:20.000 one will find you. But Max Monsey had the best 213 00:11:20.039 --> 00:11:22.320 answer about that, saying I wanted the ball after that, 214 00:11:22.399 --> 00:11:24.440 but that's how you get better. But for him, he 215 00:11:24.480 --> 00:11:27.399 came in today with two for twenty one, ten punchouts. 216 00:11:28.120 --> 00:11:30.159 It's great to see the way that he talks about 217 00:11:30.159 --> 00:11:32.240 his teamates and the way he supported and he stayed 218 00:11:32.279 --> 00:11:34.639 right with his plan, got some balls ahead on his 219 00:11:34.720 --> 00:11:37.879 own and again same thing as he wanted the baseball team, 220 00:11:38.159 --> 00:11:40.720 he also wanted that at bat. Yeah, and he delivered because 221 00:11:40.720 --> 00:11:41.360 he wanted me at that. 222 00:11:41.679 --> 00:11:43.519 Talk a little bit more about that, Jose, as a 223 00:11:43.559 --> 00:11:47.480 guy who played and being out there at third base, 224 00:11:47.519 --> 00:11:49.759 I mean, you're like the loneliest person on the field 225 00:11:49.799 --> 00:11:53.559 and you got fifty thousand people there bobblehead nights, it's 226 00:11:53.559 --> 00:11:57.399 Otani's night, and you just had two throwing theirs, and 227 00:11:57.440 --> 00:11:59.480 the ball seems to find you a couple more times 228 00:11:59.519 --> 00:12:01.799 after that, and he had an opportunity in the middle 229 00:12:01.799 --> 00:12:04.159 of the game and couldn't deliver the big hit. When 230 00:12:04.200 --> 00:12:06.919 you're going out there every half inning on defense, I mean, 231 00:12:07.080 --> 00:12:09.080 it could be the loneliest place in the world. 232 00:12:09.159 --> 00:12:12.279 Right, it could be very loneliest, Like you want to 233 00:12:12.279 --> 00:12:14.519 dig a hole and have nobody find you. There's gonna 234 00:12:14.519 --> 00:12:16.840 be like eight guys on the field, where and where's you? 235 00:12:17.360 --> 00:12:17.600 Right? 236 00:12:18.080 --> 00:12:20.159 But at the same time, when you have a team 237 00:12:20.200 --> 00:12:22.559 around you, there's a portal like that. And also the fans, 238 00:12:22.799 --> 00:12:25.840 the fans, No, Max Monsey has a track record, yeah, 239 00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:28.639 with this team and with success. He's associated with success 240 00:12:28.720 --> 00:12:31.360 with his team and at times, let's not forget also 241 00:12:31.440 --> 00:12:33.600 it's him. He has got enough to slow starts on 242 00:12:33.679 --> 00:12:36.080 the defensive side. And one of them remember when the 243 00:12:36.120 --> 00:12:38.080 cut of the grass was an issue. Sometimes if there 244 00:12:38.240 --> 00:12:40.480 was an issue, but Max Munsey is one guy is 245 00:12:40.519 --> 00:12:42.159 not going to find excuses, go out there and just 246 00:12:42.480 --> 00:12:44.840 get the job done and grind it out. And he 247 00:12:44.919 --> 00:12:46.759 came out a very good time. But let me tell you, 248 00:12:46.840 --> 00:12:50.000 it is a very empty feeling because you know, at 249 00:12:50.039 --> 00:12:51.919 some point the ball will continue to find you. And 250 00:12:52.000 --> 00:12:54.600 after he had three games today pretty much the bad 251 00:12:54.600 --> 00:12:57.200 one on defense, the very good one on defense when 252 00:12:57.240 --> 00:12:59.200 he threw a structs there first base, and then obviously 253 00:12:59.200 --> 00:12:59.879 you know, the big hit. 254 00:13:00.159 --> 00:13:02.679 Blake Snell starting number two for the Dodgers. He had 255 00:13:02.679 --> 00:13:06.039 some control issues in his first start, got the win tonight, 256 00:13:06.679 --> 00:13:09.799 didn't help himself. Certainly, the strike zone was a little iffy, 257 00:13:10.639 --> 00:13:13.759 The airs behind him didn't help. His emotions got to him. 258 00:13:14.000 --> 00:13:17.399 Some walks didn't help. But Blake Snell outing number two tonight, 259 00:13:17.440 --> 00:13:18.080 what'd you make of it? 260 00:13:19.480 --> 00:13:23.240 I still work in progress. It's clearly that he's first 261 00:13:23.279 --> 00:13:25.600 started by a couple of things that are happening. They 262 00:13:25.600 --> 00:13:28.320 have nothing to do with deliver veloci or pitch his orbit, 263 00:13:28.480 --> 00:13:30.440 just the fact that he's not getting that top zone 264 00:13:30.559 --> 00:13:32.440 and you know, top striking. It's a big pitch for 265 00:13:32.519 --> 00:13:34.559 him because if you look at the way he pitches 266 00:13:34.679 --> 00:13:37.720 and what his graphic looks like, he needs to beat 267 00:13:37.759 --> 00:13:40.440 you downstairs with that change up in the slider right, 268 00:13:40.960 --> 00:13:43.480 but also with his curveball. He opens up your eyes 269 00:13:43.519 --> 00:13:45.919 as as a hitter up in the zone, and he 270 00:13:45.960 --> 00:13:48.279 can beat you by sometimes not even throwing his best 271 00:13:48.320 --> 00:13:50.360 fastball up in the zone because the curb is going 272 00:13:50.440 --> 00:13:52.440 to make you be aware of that part of the 273 00:13:52.519 --> 00:13:56.120 zone that label, right, So I can understand that, But 274 00:13:56.159 --> 00:13:58.799 I think overall, if even he opened up and said, 275 00:13:58.840 --> 00:14:00.720 you know, with the tapping and spring troiler, with the 276 00:14:00.720 --> 00:14:04.240 abs guys wire being toll challenge roller downstairs. So he 277 00:14:05.000 --> 00:14:07.840 makes some very good points having studied it throughout the league, 278 00:14:08.279 --> 00:14:10.480 but it comes out to make an adjustments. And he 279 00:14:10.559 --> 00:14:13.720 has enough in his pocket, let me tell you, and 280 00:14:13.960 --> 00:14:17.600 enough experience and Tucson Young's and enough stuff to know 281 00:14:17.639 --> 00:14:19.480 that if that's going to be an issue the rest 282 00:14:19.519 --> 00:14:20.799 of the year, then he has to be the one 283 00:14:20.840 --> 00:14:23.360 to adjust. But certainly we have not seen even near 284 00:14:23.639 --> 00:14:24.759 near the best of Blakes. 285 00:14:24.759 --> 00:14:27.159 Now, final thing, Jose, I want to make sure the 286 00:14:27.200 --> 00:14:30.120 bullpen gets as much credit as possible. They've been great 287 00:14:30.120 --> 00:14:33.240 in the first seven games. Tonight they were equally great 288 00:14:33.279 --> 00:14:36.159 three different guys tonight, putting up Zero's ben Conspiratus two 289 00:14:36.200 --> 00:14:39.399 shutout Indians, Kirby Yates a shutout seventh Inny, and then 290 00:14:39.480 --> 00:14:42.120 Jack Dryer pitches a one, two, three, eighth and a 291 00:14:42.240 --> 00:14:45.360 one two three ninth to keep it at five runs 292 00:14:45.360 --> 00:14:48.080 for the Atlanta Braves and not let them tack on, 293 00:14:48.159 --> 00:14:50.200 especially in that sixth. Then he went the bases loaded. 294 00:14:50.559 --> 00:14:51.240 Was huge. 295 00:14:51.919 --> 00:14:54.919 That was big. I think momentum changes in many ways 296 00:14:54.960 --> 00:14:57.240 where the offenses asking you, as a pitcher, just give 297 00:14:57.320 --> 00:14:58.840 us a chance, just keep it right where it is. 298 00:14:58.840 --> 00:15:01.799 And I'm gonna make this one about early in the season. 299 00:15:01.919 --> 00:15:04.480 You'll see a lot of teams go into situations like 300 00:15:04.559 --> 00:15:08.120 this where the guy that is brought into those situations 301 00:15:08.120 --> 00:15:10.159 down by five runs is a guy that perhaps just 302 00:15:10.200 --> 00:15:12.399 made the team or does not have the experience, so 303 00:15:12.679 --> 00:15:15.399 you want to get a speedword before you know it. Unfortunately, 304 00:15:15.440 --> 00:15:18.480 most times it becomes eight to nothing and then nine 305 00:15:18.480 --> 00:15:20.240 to nothing and then the offense is out. But the 306 00:15:20.360 --> 00:15:23.360 Dodgers are so deep and they're so talented, and they 307 00:15:23.360 --> 00:15:25.879 trust these guys so much. Dry was put on the 308 00:15:25.960 --> 00:15:29.559 roster its off season, and not just as a favor, 309 00:15:29.639 --> 00:15:32.240 saying let's make sure nobody grabs a note. We believe 310 00:15:32.279 --> 00:15:33.720 in him, and he's gonna be on the roster. He's 311 00:15:33.759 --> 00:15:35.440 gonna contribute. And you know the inbu To told you 312 00:15:35.519 --> 00:15:37.759 was not just an invite. He earned that, so it 313 00:15:37.799 --> 00:15:40.480 speaks of the depth. And then obviously the resources have 314 00:15:40.519 --> 00:15:43.039 somebody like Kirby Yer's come in and throw that in. 315 00:15:43.480 --> 00:15:46.159 But they did a good job stopping the momentum from 316 00:15:46.559 --> 00:15:49.039 the other side with the Braves to getting that momentum 317 00:15:49.080 --> 00:15:51.879 on the defensive side and offensive side to make sure 318 00:15:51.919 --> 00:15:54.720 the guys and the bench believe that one swing could 319 00:15:54.759 --> 00:15:57.480 change it. And again, who else but mister Sayonada. 320 00:15:58.840 --> 00:16:01.120 Absolutely, Jose will checking with you a couple of days. 321 00:16:01.159 --> 00:16:03.159 Appreciate it, talk to you soon. 322 00:16:03.200 --> 00:16:06.000 All right, there he goes Jose Moda getting his posting 323 00:16:06.039 --> 00:16:08.480 game thoughts. As the Dodgers do it, they come all 324 00:16:08.480 --> 00:16:10.320 the way back from a five to nothing deficit, they 325 00:16:10.320 --> 00:16:12.960 win it six to five. Max Munty to run double 326 00:16:13.000 --> 00:16:14.919 tight end in the eighth and then show hey, o 327 00:16:15.080 --> 00:16:17.639 Tani on his bobblehead night walks it off with a 328 00:16:17.679 --> 00:16:19.919 home run to center field, his third of the season, 329 00:16:19.960 --> 00:16:23.039 his second career walk off home run, both in a 330 00:16:23.120 --> 00:16:26.200 Dodger uniform, and the Dodgers win it six to five. 331 00:16:26.200 --> 00:16:27.960 We'll take a break, we'll come back.

Hi, Ravi, what 367 00:18:28.960 --> 00:18:30.039 a game? 368 00:18:30.640 --> 00:18:34.839 Yeah, definitely, what a game? Here with my son a 369 00:18:34.960 --> 00:18:38.720 day after his birthday. He's an April Fool's birthday. The 370 00:18:38.839 --> 00:18:43.440 Dodgers were playing like fools early on. Petros and Money 371 00:18:43.440 --> 00:18:46.079 had me all anxious talking about all the lines for 372 00:18:46.160 --> 00:18:49.279 the bubblehead. Oh yeah, but you know what, and you 373 00:18:49.400 --> 00:18:51.359 think we're gonna be all right when we cruised on 374 00:18:51.519 --> 00:18:54.079 up from coast to Mesa in our seats in about 375 00:18:54.079 --> 00:18:57.559 an hour and a half, and even though things weren't 376 00:18:57.559 --> 00:19:02.039 looking too good, when Caspiraus got out of that bases loaded. Yeah, 377 00:19:02.119 --> 00:19:04.240 I think the brads knew that they were in trouble. 378 00:19:04.720 --> 00:19:07.960 And my son, Noah, who's here with me right now, 379 00:19:08.079 --> 00:19:10.440 Noah say hi, because he's the one who called in. 380 00:19:10.640 --> 00:19:13.039 He was brave to call in. It's our first time 381 00:19:13.079 --> 00:19:18.640 calling Noah say hi. I so you know, it turned 382 00:19:18.680 --> 00:19:22.839 out well. And I was resigned to after five zero. 383 00:19:23.640 --> 00:19:25.799 I said, hey, they got it back to five to three. 384 00:19:25.960 --> 00:19:29.680 We got our bubble heads. Everything's good. Let's just see 385 00:19:29.680 --> 00:19:30.400 what happens. 386 00:19:30.960 --> 00:19:33.759 And we saw what happened. 387 00:19:33.920 --> 00:19:37.079 Yeah, unbelievable, finished Robbie. I appreciate it. Thanks to you 388 00:19:37.200 --> 00:19:40.119 and Noah. Drive carefully back to the Orange County area. 389 00:19:40.240 --> 00:19:42.839 Thanks for checking in here to Dodger talk. Yeah, it 390 00:19:42.960 --> 00:19:45.799 sounded like a lot of Dodger fans stuck around. Because 391 00:19:45.839 --> 00:19:48.559 you can see the momentum change. You can feel it, 392 00:19:48.599 --> 00:19:51.480 as Rick Monday says, you can't see it necessarily, but 393 00:19:51.519 --> 00:19:54.119 you can feel it in a game, the way the 394 00:19:54.160 --> 00:19:57.759 ball bounces for a team, the way things go right 395 00:19:57.880 --> 00:20:01.599 or wrong for a team in certain at bats innings 396 00:20:01.759 --> 00:20:04.720 leads to comebacks, leads to losses. You can feel it. 397 00:20:05.160 --> 00:20:06.799 And when the Dodgers taught me he hadn't hit that 398 00:20:06.799 --> 00:20:08.400 two run home run the second inning he made it 399 00:20:08.440 --> 00:20:10.119 five to two, you kind of felt like, all right, 400 00:20:10.200 --> 00:20:12.599 there's a lot of baseball left to be played. And 401 00:20:12.599 --> 00:20:14.799
