Speaker 1: And now your host of Dodger top Tim Kakes. Are
Speaker 1: you kidding me? Are you kidding me? This Dodger team,
Speaker 1: they just don't die. They don't go away down five
Speaker 1: to nothing. Didn't look good, sloppy defense, miscues on the
Speaker 1: bass pass, not a great start from Blake Snell. And
Speaker 1: what do they do? They lock it down with the
Speaker 1: bullpen the final five innings and the Dodgers offense just
Speaker 1: chip chip chip chips away at a five to nothing deficit,
Speaker 1: ties it in the eighth where then Max Mounty two
Speaker 1: run double and Showy o'tany walks it off in the
Speaker 1: ninth inning. Hi, everybody, and welcome to postgame Dodger Talk
Speaker 1: here on a FI seventy LA Sports Live Everywhere on
Speaker 1: the iHeart Radio app. Thanks for being with us here
Speaker 1: until the top of the hour eight six, six, nine
Speaker 1: eighty seven to two, five seventy. Now I've been there
Speaker 1: where you're at right now, sitting in trafficking Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 1: You're in the parking lot, you're fighting kind of ton
Speaker 1: your way down to the sunset to the one, ten
Speaker 1: to the five. Let's talk some Dodgers baseball as you
Speaker 1: wait patiently try to get out of Dodger Stadium, where
Speaker 1: fifty thousand, two hundred and eighty one saw the Dodgers
Speaker 1: come back and get the wins six to five over
Speaker 1: the Atlanta Braves eight six six, nine eighty seven two
Speaker 1: five seventy. You're not going anywhere. Just talk some Dodgers baseball.
Speaker 1: Eight sixty six, nine eighty seven to two, five seventy
Speaker 1: one a night. It started hours before the game at
Speaker 1: Dodger Stadium, before the gates even opened up, one hundreds,
Speaker 1: if not thousands, waiting in line to get in so
Speaker 1: they can get one of the bobbleheads of show hey Otani,
Speaker 1: the one of four that he'll have this season when
Speaker 1: the gates open. Dodger fans rushed in when the game started.
Speaker 1: Maybe some of them rushed out after the Dodgers fell
Speaker 1: behind five to nothing, but for those that stuck around
Speaker 1: for nine innings, it's a twenty seven out sport, and
Speaker 1: the Dodgers needed all twenty seven tonight against the Atlanta Braves.
Speaker 1: Down five to nothing, down five to two, down five
Speaker 1: to three, tied it at five in the age Colin,
Speaker 1: one more Timelets here, oh walk off for show? Hey
Speaker 1: all right, mome.
Speaker 2: Oh this would be fitting and if there were an
Speaker 2: end right here, and everyone on their feet at Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 3: Show, hey old Toney on his bubblehead night, first piss
Speaker 3: swinging high drive left center.
Speaker 4: Field at the wall.
Speaker 5: Oh my goodness, so hey Old Toney, A sallo, not
Speaker 5: a swing, He's headed home head once again, the Dodgers
Speaker 5: walk off winners.
Speaker 1: I love it. A Ciinara swing, Pat, and that bad
Speaker 1: boy Stephen Nelson, A Ciinara swing. I love it. We're
Speaker 1: gonna hear that a lot more than season, as we're
Speaker 1: eight games in and the Dodgers have six comfort behind victories,
Speaker 1: and tonight on his bobblehead night, sho he Otani delivered
Speaker 1: with the solo home run to his center. He was
Speaker 1: three for five on the evening, got on base a
Speaker 1: couple of times. The Dodgers had their chances, and I
Speaker 1: was all ready to come on here to Dodger Talk
Speaker 1: and start defending what happened late in the game with
Speaker 1: the guys on base, and really no excuse for the
Speaker 1: Dodgers early on the miscues on the bass pass. Andy
Speaker 1: pie has got doubled up at third on a comebacker
Speaker 1: to the mound. You had Michael Confordo trying to go
Speaker 1: first to third in like third gear on a hard
Speaker 1: hit ball to right field and gets thrown out at third.
Speaker 1: That wasn't good. And then then defensive miscues Max Munsey's
Speaker 1: two throwing theirs, a communication issue between Blake Snell and
Speaker 1: keik Hernanez on a good bunt into no man's land
Speaker 1: there along the right field side of the infield, and
Speaker 1: then Andy pot Has boxing the ball in center field.
Speaker 1: They ruled it a two run double, but really it
Speaker 1: was an air on Pajez on the Aussie Albi's double
Speaker 1: in the second. Just not the Dodger team we are
Speaker 1: used to seeing. For the first seven games, efficient played
Speaker 1: good defense, good pitching, really good bullpen, and of course
Speaker 1: timely hitting. And that didn't really start for the Dodgers
Speaker 1: until after Blake Snell was gone. The Dodgers had made
Speaker 1: it a five to three game, had opportunities in the fifth,
Speaker 1: didn't get across any runs, had opportunities in the sixth,
Speaker 1: and couldn't get across runs even though they had runners
Speaker 1: on first and third in the eighth. In he though
Speaker 1: redemption time for Max Munci as he doubles to right
Speaker 1: center field to score two runs with two outs, and
Speaker 1: he abandoned the torpedo bat that everybody's talking about. He
Speaker 1: used it in batting practice, he used it for his
Speaker 1: first couple at bats tonight against the Atlanta Braves. But
Speaker 1: in the eighth inning, when the Dodgers were runners on
Speaker 1: second and third, he brought back that silver gray bat
Speaker 1: and deliver with the double the right center field to
Speaker 1: tie the game. And then, of course you just heard it,
Speaker 1: show Heotani with the walkoff double. I'm speechless as so
Speaker 1: far as what this team did tonight because it was
Speaker 1: a game, as Dave Roberts said, they had no business
Speaker 1: winning the way they played early, but they chipped away,
Speaker 1: they hung around, and I sat in the clubout show
Speaker 1: and I'll repeat it right now, as excited as we
Speaker 1: are about months he redeeming himself. Show Heyotani with the
Speaker 1: walk off home run. You gotta tip your cap to
Speaker 1: Ben A. Sparius, Kirby Yates and Jack Dryer, two guys
Speaker 1: that were in the minor leagues a year ago. And
Speaker 1: Kirby Yates, who is a dominant closer and has been
Speaker 1: for a few years. Benkus Sparrius gets himself out of
Speaker 1: a basis loaded jam, in the sixth. That could have
Speaker 1: just been the death nail for the Dodgers. In the sixth,
Speaker 1: Dodgers up five or down five to three. If Casparrius
Speaker 1: gives up runs and the Braves tack on more, the
Speaker 1: life of the Dodgers could have just been exhaled out
Speaker 1: and they would have just been ballgame. But instead he
Speaker 1: keeps it at a five to three game. Kirby Yates
Speaker 1: pitches the seventh, works around an infield single, and Jack
Speaker 1: Dryer a one two three eighth, a one two three
Speaker 1: ninth in two winnings of relief, kept it out of
Speaker 1: five to three game, kept it so they can keep
Speaker 1: chipping away and tie it in the eighth, kept the
Speaker 1: zero on the board of the ninth inning at a
Speaker 1: five to five game, so the nine to one to
Speaker 1: two hitters can come up for the Dodgers in the
Speaker 1: bottom half of the ninth and give him a chance
Speaker 1: and not having to be down six to five chasing
Speaker 1: a run needing two to win it in the bottom
Speaker 1: of the ninth. The bullpen did their jobs, and it's
Speaker 1: not gonna show up, you know, on on Sports Center.
Speaker 1: It's you're not gonna see it on Sports and at
Speaker 1: LA Marios Saliz isn't gonna have it on Channel four
Speaker 1: to nine or Jim Hill on Channel two. What a
Speaker 1: great how the bullpen did. But I'm gonna give the
Speaker 1: round of applause to the bullpen for what they did,
Speaker 1: keeping it at five runs for the Atlanta Braves, keeping
Speaker 1: it right there, and allowing the Dodgers' offense, which is
Speaker 1: arguably the best in baseball top to bottom, to get
Speaker 1: back in this game, tie it, and then win it
Speaker 1: with the walk off home run six to five, eight
Speaker 1: sixty six, nine eighty seven, two five seventy. We're gonna
Speaker 1: hear from Jose Moda coming up a couple of minutes.
Speaker 1: Heather leaving Dodger Stadium. Heather, welcome to Dodger Talk. What
Speaker 1: a thrillian night out of Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 6: Hey, so great to talk to you.
Speaker 7: We were here the whole family. We drove out from
Speaker 7: Utah and we always tried to come Opening Day or
Speaker 7: Opening week and came to the game Monday and Wednesday,
Speaker 7: and wow, this one was a little bit of a
Speaker 7: nail bier. We were a little bit worried about Monsey
Speaker 7: and how some of these players were just not quite
Speaker 7: in sync. But that's the thing, like you were saying,
Speaker 7: with the Dodgers, they're just never out of it and
Speaker 7: they'll always always stay in And like you said, the
Speaker 7: bullpen was awesome. They really came through tonight and I'm
Speaker 7: kind of I'm happy to see that Max kind of
Speaker 7: turned into mad Max and got that big hit in
Speaker 7: the eights, because that's what we were all waiting for. Yeah,
Speaker 7: and then show, Hey, you know, Bobblehead Night comes up
Speaker 7: and gets that big home run for the walkoff, and
Speaker 7: that's exactly what we need as Dodger fans and what
Speaker 7: we get excited to come every single night. A lot
Speaker 7: of people left early, and I'm going don't leave early
Speaker 7: because it's going to be awesome, I promise you.
Speaker 6: So it was.
Speaker 1: It was a great game, no doubt about it.
Speaker 8: Heather.
Speaker 1: Appreciate the phone call. I don't know if Heather you
Speaker 1: heard the post game with David Vasse on the field
Speaker 1: with Max Munsey, how emotional Max was, and just imagine
Speaker 1: being in his shoes for a minute. The game starts
Speaker 1: in the first a throwing air opens the scoring for
Speaker 1: the Atlanta Braves, and then, as they say in baseball,
Speaker 1: the ball finds you and not a good way, and
Speaker 1: the second inning started with him having another throwing air.
Speaker 1: A bunt single later in the inning opened the gates
Speaker 1: again for the Braves, but it all started with the
Speaker 1: second throwing air for Maxi Munci. He had an opportunity
Speaker 1: to come up middle of the game with runners on
Speaker 1: and couldn't deliver with the base hit. So, you know,
Speaker 1: Max who's an emotional player. We love that about him,
Speaker 1: certainly not feeling well about the way he handled those
Speaker 1: first two innings defensively, struggling at the plate, not just tonight,
Speaker 1: but the first seven games going into tonight's game against
Speaker 1: the Braves, hitting over just under one hundred on the season,
Speaker 1: and to come up in the eighth inning, you know,
Speaker 1: feel like you let your team down. You're the guy
Speaker 1: that kind of opened the door for the Braves. Maybe
Speaker 1: you feel like you lost the game for Blake Snell
Speaker 1: and your team after a seven to zero start. To
Speaker 1: come back and having to feel like that, and then
Speaker 1: the jubilation of hey, I just hit a ball right
Speaker 1: center field and tied this thing up, gave our team
Speaker 1: new life and a chance to maybe win it. Man,
Speaker 1: that's a roller coaster of emotions for maximun and tonight
Speaker 1: late in the game felt like a playoff game. The
Speaker 1: excitement at Dodgers Stadium, the people that were fired up
Speaker 1: in the eighth and ninth inning for the Dodgers, and
Speaker 1: the comeback, and then certainly, howckey you not be excited
Speaker 1: for a walk off win by show Hey, o Tani,
Speaker 1: let's check you out, Jose Motive, It's time to go
Speaker 1: around the horn with Hosean Mota, I mean Jose a
Speaker 1: walk off home run on his bobblehead nights the day
Speaker 1: started with people waiting hours to get a bobblehead, and
Speaker 1: it ends with people leaving Dodger Stadium after a walk
Speaker 1: off home run. What a night for the Dodgers.
Speaker 8: Isn't that something I mean Dodger team overall beyond the
Speaker 8: show Hey, expectations and the bibblehead and how terrific it
Speaker 8: was people lining up since last night, And I think,
Speaker 8: and I wonder how many households, how many booths? So
Speaker 8: obviously the home booths were all thinking the same thing.
Speaker 8: How about bibblehead? How about a menu or Maris moment?
Speaker 8: How about a showhill Tony walk up right and he
Speaker 8: delivers again. He was in Tokyo. He delivers. I mean
Speaker 8: wherever he plays, it's crazy how good he is. But
Speaker 8: I think overall with Shohey and who also sounded very emotional,
Speaker 8: it's good to hear him say that fan yell at
Speaker 8: him about that. Yeah, I think it's terrific. But you
Speaker 8: know what I applaud Max Mounsey. It's not easy and
Speaker 8: haven't been there before. You cost your team runs early
Speaker 8: in the game and then you almost don't want the
Speaker 8: one will find you. But Max Monsey had the best
Speaker 8: answer about that, saying I wanted the ball after that,
Speaker 8: but that's how you get better. But for him, he
Speaker 8: came in today with two for twenty one, ten punchouts.
Speaker 8: It's great to see the way that he talks about
Speaker 8: his teamates and the way he supported and he stayed
Speaker 8: right with his plan, got some balls ahead on his
Speaker 8: own and again same thing as he wanted the baseball team,
Speaker 8: he also wanted that at bat. Yeah, and he delivered because
Speaker 8: he wanted me at that.
Speaker 1: Talk a little bit more about that, Jose, as a
Speaker 1: guy who played and being out there at third base,
Speaker 1: I mean, you're like the loneliest person on the field
Speaker 1: and you got fifty thousand people there bobblehead nights, it's
Speaker 1: Otani's night, and you just had two throwing theirs, and
Speaker 1: the ball seems to find you a couple more times
Speaker 1: after that, and he had an opportunity in the middle
Speaker 1: of the game and couldn't deliver the big hit. When
Speaker 1: you're going out there every half inning on defense, I mean,
Speaker 1: it could be the loneliest place in the world.
Speaker 8: Right, it could be very loneliest, Like you want to
Speaker 8: dig a hole and have nobody find you. There's gonna
Speaker 8: be like eight guys on the field, where and where's you?
Speaker 9: Right?
Speaker 8: But at the same time, when you have a team
Speaker 8: around you, there's a portal like that. And also the fans,
Speaker 8: the fans, No, Max Monsey has a track record, yeah,
Speaker 8: with this team and with success. He's associated with success
Speaker 8: with his team and at times, let's not forget also
Speaker 8: it's him. He has got enough to slow starts on
Speaker 8: the defensive side. And one of them remember when the
Speaker 8: cut of the grass was an issue. Sometimes if there
Speaker 8: was an issue, but Max Munsey is one guy is
Speaker 8: not going to find excuses, go out there and just
Speaker 8: get the job done and grind it out. And he
Speaker 8: came out a very good time. But let me tell you,
Speaker 8: it is a very empty feeling because you know, at
Speaker 8: some point the ball will continue to find you. And
Speaker 8: after he had three games today pretty much the bad
Speaker 8: one on defense, the very good one on defense when
Speaker 8: he threw a structs there first base, and then obviously
Speaker 8: you know, the big hit.
Speaker 1: Blake Snell starting number two for the Dodgers. He had
Speaker 1: some control issues in his first start, got the win tonight,
Speaker 1: didn't help himself. Certainly, the strike zone was a little iffy,
Speaker 1: The airs behind him didn't help. His emotions got to him.
Speaker 1: Some walks didn't help. But Blake Snell outing number two tonight,
Speaker 1: what'd you make of it?
Speaker 8: I still work in progress. It's clearly that he's first
Speaker 8: started by a couple of things that are happening. They
Speaker 8: have nothing to do with deliver veloci or pitch his orbit,
Speaker 8: just the fact that he's not getting that top zone
Speaker 8: and you know, top striking. It's a big pitch for
Speaker 8: him because if you look at the way he pitches
Speaker 8: and what his graphic looks like, he needs to beat
Speaker 8: you downstairs with that change up in the slider right,
Speaker 8: but also with his curveball. He opens up your eyes
Speaker 8: as as a hitter up in the zone, and he
Speaker 8: can beat you by sometimes not even throwing his best
Speaker 8: fastball up in the zone because the curb is going
Speaker 8: to make you be aware of that part of the
Speaker 8: zone that label, right, So I can understand that, But
Speaker 8: I think overall, if even he opened up and said,
Speaker 8: you know, with the tapping and spring troiler, with the
Speaker 8: abs guys wire being toll challenge roller downstairs. So he
Speaker 8: makes some very good points having studied it throughout the league,
Speaker 8: but it comes out to make an adjustments. And he
Speaker 8: has enough in his pocket, let me tell you, and
Speaker 8: enough experience and Tucson Young's and enough stuff to know
Speaker 8: that if that's going to be an issue the rest
Speaker 8: of the year, then he has to be the one
Speaker 8: to adjust. But certainly we have not seen even near
Speaker 8: near the best of Blakes.
Speaker 1: Now, final thing, Jose, I want to make sure the
Speaker 1: bullpen gets as much credit as possible. They've been great
Speaker 1: in the first seven games. Tonight they were equally great
Speaker 1: three different guys tonight, putting up Zero's ben Conspiratus two
Speaker 1: shutout Indians, Kirby Yates a shutout seventh Inny, and then
Speaker 1: Jack Dryer pitches a one, two, three, eighth and a
Speaker 1: one two three ninth to keep it at five runs
Speaker 1: for the Atlanta Braves and not let them tack on,
Speaker 1: especially in that sixth. Then he went the bases loaded.
Speaker 1: Was huge.
Speaker 8: That was big. I think momentum changes in many ways
Speaker 8: where the offenses asking you, as a pitcher, just give
Speaker 8: us a chance, just keep it right where it is.
Speaker 8: And I'm gonna make this one about early in the season.
Speaker 8: You'll see a lot of teams go into situations like
Speaker 8: this where the guy that is brought into those situations
Speaker 8: down by five runs is a guy that perhaps just
Speaker 8: made the team or does not have the experience, so
Speaker 8: you want to get a speedword before you know it. Unfortunately,
Speaker 8: most times it becomes eight to nothing and then nine
Speaker 8: to nothing and then the offense is out. But the
Speaker 8: Dodgers are so deep and they're so talented, and they
Speaker 8: trust these guys so much. Dry was put on the
Speaker 8: roster its off season, and not just as a favor,
Speaker 8: saying let's make sure nobody grabs a note. We believe
Speaker 8: in him, and he's gonna be on the roster. He's
Speaker 8: gonna contribute. And you know the inbu To told you
Speaker 8: was not just an invite. He earned that, so it
Speaker 8: speaks of the depth. And then obviously the resources have
Speaker 8: somebody like Kirby Yer's come in and throw that in.
Speaker 8: But they did a good job stopping the momentum from
Speaker 8: the other side with the Braves to getting that momentum
Speaker 8: on the defensive side and offensive side to make sure
Speaker 8: the guys and the bench believe that one swing could
Speaker 8: change it. And again, who else but mister Sayonada.
Speaker 1: Absolutely, Jose will checking with you a couple of days.
Speaker 8: Appreciate it, talk to you soon.
Speaker 1: All right, there he goes Jose Moda getting his posting
Speaker 1: game thoughts. As the Dodgers do it, they come all
Speaker 1: the way back from a five to nothing deficit, they
Speaker 1: win it six to five. Max Munty to run double
Speaker 1: tight end in the eighth and then show hey, o
Speaker 1: Tani on his bobblehead night walks it off with a
Speaker 1: home run to center field, his third of the season,
Speaker 1: his second career walk off home run, both in a
Speaker 1: Dodger uniform, and the Dodgers win it six to five.

Speaker 1: the game tonight out of Dodger Stadium. Hi, Ravi, what
Speaker 1: a game?
Speaker 6: Yeah, definitely, what a game? Here with my son a
Speaker 6: day after his birthday. He's an April Fool's birthday. The
Speaker 6: Dodgers were playing like fools early on. Petros and Money
Speaker 6: had me all anxious talking about all the lines for
Speaker 6: the bubblehead. Oh yeah, but you know what, and you
Speaker 6: think we're gonna be all right when we cruised on
Speaker 6: up from coast to Mesa in our seats in about
Speaker 6: an hour and a half, and even though things weren't
Speaker 6: looking too good, when Caspiraus got out of that bases loaded. Yeah,
Speaker 6: I think the brads knew that they were in trouble.
Speaker 6: And my son, Noah, who's here with me right now,
Speaker 6: Noah say hi, because he's the one who called in.
Speaker 6: He was brave to call in. It's our first time
Speaker 6: calling Noah say hi. I so you know, it turned
Speaker 6: out well. And I was resigned to after five zero.
Speaker 6: I said, hey, they got it back to five to three.
Speaker 6: We got our bubble heads. Everything's good. Let's just see
Speaker 6: what happens.
Speaker 10: And we saw what happened.
Speaker 1: Yeah, unbelievable, finished Robbie. I appreciate it. Thanks to you
Speaker 1: and Noah. Drive carefully back to the Orange County area.
Speaker 1: Thanks for checking in here to Dodger talk. Yeah, it
Speaker 1: sounded like a lot of Dodger fans stuck around. Because
Speaker 1: you can see the momentum change. You can feel it,
Speaker 1: as Rick Monday says, you can't see it necessarily, but
Speaker 1: you can feel it in a game, the way the
Speaker 1: ball bounces for a team, the way things go right
Speaker 1: or wrong for a team in certain at bats innings
Speaker 1: leads to comebacks, leads to losses. You can feel it.
Speaker 1: And when the Dodgers taught me he hadn't hit that
Speaker 1: two run home run the second inning he made it
Speaker 1: five to two, you kind of felt like, all right,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of baseball left to be played. And
Speaker 1: when Michael Confordo hit the solo home run the fourth,
Speaker 1: you felt like, we're at the halfway point of the
Speaker 1: game and it's only a two run game. They had
Speaker 1: opportunities in the fifth, the sixth, the seventh and couldn't deliver.
Speaker 1: Albeit the bullpen was still continued to put up zeros
Speaker 1: and keeping it at five to three and allowing the
Speaker 1: Dodgers to have those opportunities in a two run game
Speaker 1: in the fifth, the sixth, the seventh, and then finally
Speaker 1: in that eighth inning, Maxi Muntzi delivered with the two
Speaker 1: run double the tide and then show how you a Tani.
Speaker 1: Colin E, by the way called it. He could see
Speaker 1: it lining up the way it did in the eighth inning.
Speaker 1: When Jack Dreyer was back out there to pitch the
Speaker 1: ninth Colin E called it and said, Otani's due up
Speaker 1: second in the ninth case. I said, I know, and
Speaker 1: he goes you know he's gonna walk it off, right,
Speaker 1: I said, that's it's not gonna happen. And Colin you
Speaker 1: called it a walk off home run on his bobblehead
Speaker 1: night for Show Hey o'tanni. After any dye pot has
Speaker 1: got out for the first out of the ninth inning,
Speaker 1: the first pitch from Showey o'tanni, he takes it to
Speaker 1: left center field for a home run and the Dodgers
Speaker 1: win it six to five. Eric in Hollywood, I know
Speaker 1: what's coming. What's up?
Speaker 4: Eric, Dodger day Sha, Timmy ate it? Oh wow, Mansie
Speaker 4: came through my Dodger tech shape was dotted him.
Speaker 8: I never did.
Speaker 4: I love Maccie Dryer.
Speaker 10: It's hurly dang.
Speaker 4: That dude got an arm man does Yeah, he does, Timmy,
Speaker 4: I know it, Turley, But I love how the Dodgers
Speaker 4: are battling for wins.
Speaker 6: Man.
Speaker 4: I love it. Shut out to my boys, Man, Meg, Jimbo, Ron.
Speaker 1: George, say other names, Eric, all their names right.
Speaker 4: We love you guys, man, we love you, Tivy, We
Speaker 4: love the Dodgers. He loved everything that's going on right now.
Speaker 4: We are excited.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's fun right now. They're winning in different ways.
Speaker 1: How about six of the eight wins come from behind,
Speaker 1: wins Tonight doing it down five to nothing. Dave Roberts said,
Speaker 1: they had no business winning this game. They keep in mind,
Speaker 1: they've won different ways, and they've done so with a
Speaker 1: lot of injured pitchers. They've got eleven pitchers on the
Speaker 1: injured list. That's why you're seeing Ben Casparrius and Jack
Speaker 1: Dryer in early games here in twenty twenty five. Now,
Speaker 1: as far as the lineup is concerned, let's keep in
Speaker 1: mind they're eight no. They're doing what they're doing. And
Speaker 1: Mookie Betts missed three games, okay. Freddie Freeman has missed
Speaker 1: more games than he has played in this year, eight
Speaker 1: games in Dodgers eight No. He has twelve at bats
Speaker 1: on the season. He's played in three games. Freddy Feaman
Speaker 1: and the Dodgers continue to win. One night. It's Will
Speaker 1: Smith delivering, Max Munsey delivering ta Oscar Hernandez. Tonight did
Speaker 1: not have a very good night at the plate. He
Speaker 1: was zero for four with three punch outs. Ugh oh
Speaker 1: for four, Mookie Bets oh for four. But the Dodgers
Speaker 1: still find a way to win. They still bang out
Speaker 1: nine hits in the game. Why Tommy Edmans, Oh, Michael
Speaker 1: Confordo tonight, Different players, different nights. That's what's so dangerous
Speaker 1: about this Dodgers team. And I can't say it enough.
Speaker 1: You can't hear it enough. Whether it's Otani at the
Speaker 1: leadoff spot or a Kik A Hernandez in the eighth spot,
Speaker 1: down to whoever's batting ninth, Andy Pajez, Chris Taylor, whoever
Speaker 1: it is. There's different guys on different nights that can produce.
Speaker 1: And let's say Mookie has an oh furtnight, Oh like tonight,
Speaker 1: the Dodgers can still rally to win a game without
Speaker 1: Mookie at a Mookie moment. Oh, Taoscar Hernandez, Gosh, he's
Speaker 1: been so good. Oh three punchouts, Oh for four. The
Speaker 1: Dodgers can still win because Confordo comes through with a
Speaker 1: couple of hits, including a home run. Tommy Edmunds delivers
Speaker 1: with a home run and a couple more ribbies. Max
Speaker 1: Munsey delivers when he needs to most in the eighth inning.
Speaker 1: It's not one or two guys in a lineup, and
Speaker 1: then they're like, oh gosh, how soon before we can
Speaker 1: get back to Otaani? So we have a chance to
Speaker 1: get a run and maybe win a game. Oh gosh,
Speaker 1: how soon can we get back to the three four
Speaker 1: guys in our lineup? Because there are our best hitters
Speaker 1: and our only chance. No, no, no, this is a Dodgers team. Literally,
Speaker 1: anybody in the lineup could be their night. And then
Speaker 1: you string it together a couple of players in a game,
Speaker 1: and maybe not even the superstars, And then you string
Speaker 1: them all together in a game and they win in
Speaker 1: a blowout. This is how dangerous this team is. I
Speaker 1: don't think you understand Dodger fans, the depth of this
Speaker 1: lineup on a nightly basis, top to bottom. How good
Speaker 1: this lineup is? You hear it all the time. Where
Speaker 1: is there a spot for a pitcher to breathe? Where
Speaker 1: is there a spot for a starter or reliever to say, Okay,
Speaker 1: I just got Otani out, I'm good for a couple
Speaker 1: of batters. I feel confident about what I have against
Speaker 1: this matchup, in this hitter. No, you look on deck,
Speaker 1: You're like crud. Is that ta Oscar Hernandez? Is that
Speaker 1: Will Smith in the hole? Are you kidding me? Keiki Hernandez,
Speaker 1: mister heroics is on deck next inning. It's just there's
Speaker 1: no holes in this lineup. Just remember that that's how
Speaker 1: talented this team is. Eight to o six, come from
Speaker 1: behind wins, different ways of winning it, different guys winning
Speaker 1: it for him. A banged up pitching staff, as far
Speaker 1: as the guys on the injured list, young pitchers, bullpen
Speaker 1: relievers that are hurt, and they're still getting it done.
Speaker 1: It's this is a deep, deep team, deeper than they've
Speaker 1: ever been, and they've been one of the best, deepest
Speaker 1: talented teams the last six years. This by far is
Speaker 1: the best. Amir Hills this next up here on Dodgers Off.
Speaker 1: What's going on in Mere? How you doing?
Speaker 10: Man Ay Tim first time caller. Uh just wanted to say, Uh,
Speaker 10: I'm not really worried about this team's hitting, this team's pitching,
Speaker 10: or the team's bullpen in anyway.
Speaker 8: I just wanted to.
Speaker 10: See if you if you think that it's like today
Speaker 10: they made a lot of errors, then a lot of
Speaker 10: like you know, I want I wonder if you think
Speaker 10: that there's a chance that any chance that you know,
Speaker 10: that might be the start of like something bad for
Speaker 10: the Dodgers, Like do you think they're going to be
Speaker 10: a good defensive team this year?
Speaker 1: I hope so. I think they're their miscues tonight were
Speaker 1: exposed a little bit because no Freddie Freeman at first,
Speaker 1: and I don't know if I tweeted it out. I
Speaker 1: certainly had it in the chamber ready to go sending
Speaker 1: it out on Twitter. But Freddie Freeman has not won
Speaker 1: a Gold Glove with the Dodgers, and that that is
Speaker 1: an outright shame and it's criminal that Freddie Freeman has
Speaker 1: not won a Gold Glove with the Dodgers. I I
Speaker 1: can sit here and remember so many plays in which
Speaker 1: Freddie Freeman has had to pick a ball at first,
Speaker 1: jump up and make a play. He did in the
Speaker 1: playoffs last year against the Padris memory came down and
Speaker 1: landed on that ankle, but he was okay, go up
Speaker 1: and getting a ball, picking a ball at first, going
Speaker 1: up and getting it, going down the baseline and making
Speaker 1: a tag on a runner because the throws are offline,
Speaker 1: because Monsey won hops him, because whoever is playing short
Speaker 1: last year was Mookie Betts making a throw and short
Speaker 1: hopping him at first. But Freddie scoops it up. Freddie
Speaker 1: picks it and we don't blink. We just go oh
Speaker 1: six' three put out oh into the. Inning Max monsey To,
Speaker 1: friedman keep in, mind he's bailing these guys out on
Speaker 1: a lot of, throws and he has done that over his,
Speaker 1: career but with The dodgers more So Tommy edmund on
Speaker 1: This homestand there's been a couple of times Guys Tommy
Speaker 1: edmond has been a great pick at second base on
Speaker 1: a low, throw a one, hopper a short hop and
Speaker 1: he's gotten the force out or he's gotten the tag
Speaker 1: after the great pick and we just, Say, wow what
Speaker 1: a great play By. Tommy, no that was a fantastic
Speaker 1: defensive play that's just gonna get overlooked because the final
Speaker 1: out of the, inning in the middle of a game In,
Speaker 1: april but he bails out the guy who throw. It now,
Speaker 1: Know Freddie freeman the lineup, tonight that ball That Keikey
Speaker 1: hernandez had in the first, inning Maybe Freddie freeman picks,
Speaker 1: it and we're not even talking about falling behind five to.
Speaker 1: Nothing but as it, is the play has not made.
Speaker 1: It first on the one hot For Max, muncie ball
Speaker 1: gets away from keik and they get a couple runs
Speaker 1: in the. First they get three more in this. Second
Speaker 1: Freddie freeman's presence on defense bails out a lot of.
Speaker 1: Guys maybe it kind of is the makeup over something
Speaker 1: that's kind of an issue and kind of a blemish
Speaker 1: for This dodgers. Team if we're gonna be real and
Speaker 1: be honest about the, Defense Andy pajez dropping the ball
Speaker 1: in center. Field they ruled it a double For Ozzie
Speaker 1: albi's in the second. Inning that should have been AN e.
Speaker 10: Eight.
Speaker 1: OKAY i looked At coliny AND i, said that's a
Speaker 1: double and he goes. No they, yeah it's a double
Speaker 1: in the, book AND i, said, no that's an. Air,
Speaker 1: no they ruled it a double in the. Scorebook it's a.
Speaker 1: Double when we look back at this, season it's gonna
Speaker 1: show up as a. Double nobody remember That Andy potts
Speaker 1: should have caught that ball in center. Field the misque
Speaker 1: on the, bunt the communication Between key k who's playing
Speaker 1: great at, first you, know he's not a first base
Speaker 1: when he's playing there doing his, best this little bit
Speaker 1: communication issue with with him And Blake snell on a
Speaker 1: bunt that was well placed kind of in no man's
Speaker 1: land in between the mountain, first but little misque about
Speaker 1: who's covering first and who's getting the. Ball you, know
Speaker 1: a clean throw For Maxi munsey laying the game on
Speaker 1: a ball that went Off Kirby yates a bang bang
Speaker 1: play at. First you, know if you get, that you
Speaker 1: bare hand you. Throw i've seen it done a thousand.
Speaker 1: Times but he eats it and puts it in his back,
Speaker 1: pocket so to, speak and doesn't make the throw.
Speaker 10: And the, inn he.
Speaker 1: Continued, thankfully The dieters got out of it with no
Speaker 1: runs given. Up but the, Defense, Yeah i'm telling, You
Speaker 1: Freddie freeman makes you look a little prettier than it.
Speaker 1: Is he's that, lipstick that cosmetic work on A dodgers
Speaker 1: defense that maybe isn't as pretty as we, think but
Speaker 1: he makes it look. Good that's for. Sure they should
Speaker 1: get him like a cosmetic like, endorsement you know, something
Speaker 1: the way he is bailing out guys all the. Time
Speaker 1: and tonight The dodgers defense riders ugly ahead Without Freddie
Speaker 1: freeman at, first and they fell behind five to, nothing
Speaker 1: but the offense and this team just so good they
Speaker 1: come back and win his six to. Five on the,
Speaker 1: Show hey O tani walk off home. Run Franken, monrovia, Welcome,
Speaker 1: Frank how you doing?

Speaker 11: put the league un notice that everyone is focused on
Speaker 11: our starting, rotation those middle, relievers those, closers those are
Speaker 11: the guys that are going to be making it. Happen
Speaker 11: and as far as The atlanta's, concerned this was supposed
Speaker 11: to be their game where they broke out of that.
Speaker 11: Shell if they wanted to be A World series, contender
Speaker 11: this this game needed to be in the, bag and
Speaker 11: it wasn't able to. Happen that just shows the t
Speaker 11: nasty of The dodgers and what we and what a
Speaker 11: lot of people are going to expect from The. Dodgers
Speaker 11: that's the, heart that's the hard. Sell The dodgers are
Speaker 11: always going to have a target on their back, now
Speaker 11: but throughout the, Season dodger fans need to remember it's
Speaker 11: gonna be ups and, downs but that consistency with the
Speaker 11: fan based and that consistency with our pitching those need
Speaker 11: to stay and no matter, what we're always going to back.
Speaker 11: Them eight, no was, fine but you know, what we?
Speaker 11: Want That World series ring got.
Speaker 1: Me, too all, Right, frank appreciate. It to think this
Speaker 1: team is going to go one hundred and sixty two to.
Speaker 1: Zero it's not gonna. Happen it's just. Not the season
Speaker 1: is too, long it's impossible it's gonna. Happen but who's
Speaker 1: to say The dodgers can't win two out of every
Speaker 1: three games in a, series three out of every four
Speaker 1: games in a. Series if you do, that you're looking
Speaker 1: at a stupid amount of wins for This dodgers team
Speaker 1: if they win every. Series that's what a lot of
Speaker 1: teams players going into a series look. Like, hey we'd
Speaker 1: love to get a, sweep of, course we'd love to
Speaker 1: go To philadelphia this weekend and get a three game
Speaker 1: sweep Of Bryce harper and The. Phillies but you know,
Speaker 1: what two out of three is equally as good because
Speaker 1: you win the series and you move on To, WASHINGTON.
Speaker 1: Dc you want to, sweep but, hey we win two
Speaker 1: out of, three win a, series and you keep stacking
Speaker 1: series wins and next thing you, know you won two
Speaker 1: thirds of your games and you're chasing one hundred and sixteen.
Speaker 1: Wins now that's getting way ahead of ourselves. Here but
Speaker 1: my point is they're not gonna go, undefeeding but they'll
Speaker 1: continue to stack up series wins as they do. It
Speaker 1: that's that's a positive for This dodgers. Team and they're
Speaker 1: gonna have games like. Tonight, well they don't play, well
Speaker 1: But i'm telling, you they're so. Talented they're never out of.
Speaker 1: It the offense is so, good they're never out of a,
Speaker 1: game even down five to nothing after two. Winnings is, He,
