WEBVTT 1 00:00:01.520 --> 00:00:06.480 One thing about this gene is the invisible and tangibles 2 00:00:06.480 --> 00:00:06.879 that they have. 3 00:00:07.160 --> 00:00:09.400 This team is really becoming a family. 4 00:00:09.640 --> 00:00:11.599 Let's not play one on Tom.

Welcome to 20 00:00:50.479 --> 00:00:54.320 postgame Dodger Talk. The Dodgers hold on for a seven 21 00:00:54.359 --> 00:00:58.520 to five win in thirteen innings at City Field over 22 00:00:58.600 --> 00:01:02.479 the Mets. Bad night in New York. The Yankees lost 23 00:01:02.479 --> 00:01:06.319 to the Rockies, the Knicks lost again to the Pacers, 24 00:01:06.560 --> 00:01:11.280 They're down two in the Eastern Finals, and the Mets 25 00:01:11.480 --> 00:01:15.400 losing thirteen innings to the Dodgers. Tonight, seven to five, 26 00:01:18.680 --> 00:01:23.319 So great, Sorry Gotham, bad night for you tonight, and 27 00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:26.439 a great night for the West Coast, the best coast, 28 00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:29.640 the Dodgers holding on for a seven to five win 29 00:01:30.159 --> 00:01:34.439 in thirteen innings. We have phone lines open at eight, six, six, nine, 30 00:01:34.480 --> 00:01:38.239 eighty seven, two, five seventy. We're with you until eleven 31 00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:42.879 thirty tonight on this beautiful Friday night in Los Angeles. 32 00:01:43.239 --> 00:01:46.159 And I know if the Dodgers would have lost this game, 33 00:01:46.640 --> 00:01:51.000 we would have a full border calls right now. But somehow, 34 00:01:51.159 --> 00:01:54.879 some way, the phone lines are wide open. We had 35 00:01:54.879 --> 00:01:58.000 a full border calls for an hour and thirty eight 36 00:01:58.040 --> 00:02:03.480 minutes this afternoon on raind Lay Dodger Talk and it 37 00:02:03.519 --> 00:02:07.120 was a great show. It was electric. We kept people accountable. 38 00:02:07.640 --> 00:02:12.319 We had a great pizza recommendation, and then we had 39 00:02:12.439 --> 00:02:16.120 another pizza expert call in and really give us some 40 00:02:16.240 --> 00:02:19.840 high end recommendation. So if you miss that show, you 41 00:02:19.879 --> 00:02:24.199 can find it on the iHeartRadio app. But usually when 42 00:02:24.280 --> 00:02:26.960 we do that long of a raind Lay Dodger Talk 43 00:02:27.080 --> 00:02:30.560 show and it's this late at night on the East Coast, 44 00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:33.400 we usually say, you know what, just go back to 45 00:02:33.439 --> 00:02:36.879 the iHeartRadio app and listen to the show there, But 46 00:02:37.039 --> 00:02:42.120 tonight had so many twists and turns and intriguing plays 47 00:02:42.520 --> 00:02:44.599 that I felt like we needed to talk about it 48 00:02:44.639 --> 00:02:47.879 after the game. And even Jose Mota feels that way. 49 00:02:47.960 --> 00:02:51.439 Jose Mota is going to join us at eleven fifteen, 50 00:02:51.919 --> 00:02:55.840 and before we get into the wackiness of the ninth 51 00:02:55.879 --> 00:02:59.360 inning and other things. You know, the Dodgers won this game, 52 00:02:59.599 --> 00:03:02.400 but it came at a price, a high price. And 53 00:03:02.479 --> 00:03:06.800 it wasn't just because Tenor Scott blew the save in 54 00:03:06.840 --> 00:03:10.159 the ninth inning. It was because of the rain. They 55 00:03:10.240 --> 00:03:13.360 knew rain was in the forecast. We have seen so 56 00:03:13.520 --> 00:03:16.280 many times when the Dodgers are on the East Coast 57 00:03:16.759 --> 00:03:20.560 where Major League Baseball and the teams agree, you know what, 58 00:03:20.800 --> 00:03:24.800 instead of burning your starting pitchers, both Mets and Dodgers, 59 00:03:24.840 --> 00:03:28.199 both Dodgers and any other team fill in the blank. 60 00:03:28.599 --> 00:03:33.120 As recently as the last road trip in Atlanta, where 61 00:03:33.159 --> 00:03:36.599 we waited three hours before our first pitch was thrown, 62 00:03:37.599 --> 00:03:42.280 we could have done the same thing tonight. Rain had 63 00:03:42.319 --> 00:03:45.439 been talked about. Going back to last week, the sports 64 00:03:45.439 --> 00:03:48.960 Net LA crew is debating do we go straight to Cleveland, 65 00:03:49.080 --> 00:03:50.840 do we go to New York? There might be a 66 00:03:50.879 --> 00:03:54.840 doubleheader because of rain on Friday. Well here it was 67 00:03:55.000 --> 00:03:58.439 rain on Friday and they said, go ahead, start the game. 68 00:03:58.719 --> 00:04:02.240 Well they started the game in the third inning. The 69 00:04:02.280 --> 00:04:05.159 Skies opened up for an hour and thirty eight minutes, 70 00:04:05.199 --> 00:04:09.800 which burned both Clayton Kershaw and Griffin Canning. The Mets 71 00:04:09.800 --> 00:04:12.400 bullpen has not been as taxed as the Dodgers. We 72 00:04:12.439 --> 00:04:15.560 all know that, so this was more costly to the 73 00:04:15.599 --> 00:04:18.800 Dodgers that they had to cover at the time at 74 00:04:18.800 --> 00:04:22.839 the very least six innings. Little did we know they 75 00:04:22.879 --> 00:04:25.879 were going to have to cover ten innings for a 76 00:04:25.959 --> 00:04:30.759 thirteen inning game. And after Kershaw was stopped because of rain, 77 00:04:31.600 --> 00:04:35.120 Matt Sower came in to pitch three innings. He did well, 78 00:04:35.120 --> 00:04:37.959 gave up one and running three innings. Ben Caspirius has 79 00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:42.600 been a star since last World Series, and tonight no different. 80 00:04:43.120 --> 00:04:46.879 Three no hit innings for Caspirius with six strikeouts. He 81 00:04:46.959 --> 00:04:50.360 did his job. He got the ball to Tanner Scott 82 00:04:50.519 --> 00:04:54.360 with a three run lead, and Tanner Scott blew another save. 83 00:04:54.480 --> 00:04:58.680 Now I will say this the last game that Tanner 84 00:04:58.720 --> 00:05:01.959 Scott saved. I don't know what's going on, but I 85 00:05:02.079 --> 00:05:06.120 rarely see a reliever warm up with one of those 86 00:05:06.199 --> 00:05:09.759 sleeves on their pitching arm. He took it off when 87 00:05:09.759 --> 00:05:11.879 he came into the game, and I couldn't see him 88 00:05:11.920 --> 00:05:16.560 in the bullpen tonight. And also, Tanner Scott has now 89 00:05:16.600 --> 00:05:20.160 pitched in three games in the last four days. That's 90 00:05:20.240 --> 00:05:23.879 usually the limit, and we probably won't see him until 91 00:05:23.959 --> 00:05:27.680 Monday at the earliest in Cleveland. The reality is, and 92 00:05:27.720 --> 00:05:31.160 I go back to my conversation with Elvis Andrews in Texas. 93 00:05:31.680 --> 00:05:35.000 Elvis Andrews, as you know, one of the longtime great Rangers, 94 00:05:35.399 --> 00:05:38.319 a right handed hitter that faced Tanner Scott when he 95 00:05:38.399 --> 00:05:42.040 was just emerging coming up with the Orioles and dabbling 96 00:05:42.079 --> 00:05:46.120 with the Marlins. Elvis and Andrews faced him, and we 97 00:05:46.120 --> 00:05:48.439 were standing right there, right next to the on deck 98 00:05:48.560 --> 00:05:52.240 circle at Globelize Field as Tanner Scott was dealing to 99 00:05:52.319 --> 00:05:56.439 the Rangers and got the save that night, but certainly 100 00:05:56.519 --> 00:05:59.319 was bailed out by his defense. And Andrews even told 101 00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:02.759 me that fastball is not the same that slider doesn't 102 00:06:02.839 --> 00:06:06.279 have the same bite. That's not David Vasse talking. That's 103 00:06:06.319 --> 00:06:10.160 a former, really good Major leaguer that faced that guy. 104 00:06:10.959 --> 00:06:14.680 And you don't have to be a baseball expert, if 105 00:06:14.720 --> 00:06:18.800 you watched any of Tanner Scott last year, to realize 106 00:06:19.079 --> 00:06:21.879 this guy is not the same guy, and is he 107 00:06:22.000 --> 00:06:24.680 trying to pitch through something. Is it that dead arm 108 00:06:24.759 --> 00:06:29.199 period that pitchers go through in spring training and sometimes 109 00:06:29.240 --> 00:06:32.360 at the beginning of the regular season. Because he has 110 00:06:32.439 --> 00:06:35.279 not looked like the same guy. And if you watch 111 00:06:35.360 --> 00:06:39.199 the game tonight, the fastball, he had pretty good command 112 00:06:39.199 --> 00:06:41.600 of it. That's how he got two strikes on virtually 113 00:06:41.680 --> 00:06:44.800 every hitter he faced. But he couldn't put away McNeil. 114 00:06:45.240 --> 00:06:49.639 He couldn't put away Tyrone Taylor either. And you know, 115 00:06:49.800 --> 00:06:54.040 he was very lucky that Juan Soto is moping these days, 116 00:06:54.079 --> 00:06:57.240 because Juan Soto did not look like Juan Soto in 117 00:06:57.360 --> 00:06:59.800 that at that or in this game. Soto is over 118 00:07:00.319 --> 00:07:03.519 tonight with one walk. But nonetheless, that was the one 119 00:07:03.560 --> 00:07:08.399 out Tanner Scott got, ironically, was Juan Soto. Outside of that, 120 00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:12.319 he couldn't put hitters away with his slider. His slider 121 00:07:12.759 --> 00:07:15.360 did not seem good. You know, I mentioned this during 122 00:07:15.399 --> 00:07:19.120 the Dodger Clubhouse show, going back to my original partner 123 00:07:19.160 --> 00:07:23.680 on this show, Kevin Kennedy, Rick honeycutt Oral Herscheizer that 124 00:07:23.800 --> 00:07:28.160 no pitching. They'll describe a pitcher that's not finishing his pitches, 125 00:07:28.360 --> 00:07:32.319 his secondary pitches as casting, meaning they're just kind of 126 00:07:32.360 --> 00:07:35.519 flipping it out there. They're not really throwing it with conviction. 127 00:07:35.720 --> 00:07:39.639 They're not extending their arm. The way they described it 128 00:07:39.680 --> 00:07:44.040 is it's basically you casting a fishing pole doing it 129 00:07:44.079 --> 00:07:46.240 that way, and you can't live that way. And it 130 00:07:46.319 --> 00:07:49.680 felt like I heard their voices in my head as 131 00:07:49.720 --> 00:07:54.279 I was watching Tanner Scott throw his sliders tonight as 132 00:07:54.800 --> 00:08:00.040 casting those sliders? Was he holding something back? Third the 133 00:08:00.079 --> 00:08:02.959 game in four days? Is the arm barking because of that? 134 00:08:03.480 --> 00:08:07.160 But he's pitching through it because he understands the predicament 135 00:08:07.480 --> 00:08:11.160 of the Dodger bullpen. I think those are all valley questions. 136 00:08:11.439 --> 00:08:14.879 You can't just say this guy stinks. He doesn't stink. 137 00:08:15.360 --> 00:08:18.040 The Dodgers gave him a big contract, and when they did, 138 00:08:18.480 --> 00:08:22.560 everybody was so jealous and envious and resentful. They signed 139 00:08:22.600 --> 00:08:26.120 Tanner Scott last year, he was dominant, only had two 140 00:08:26.160 --> 00:08:31.439 blown saves this year already he has four eight sixty 141 00:08:31.480 --> 00:08:34.879 six nine eight seven two five seventy is the phone number. 142 00:08:35.159 --> 00:08:38.480 With all that being said, the Dodgers used eight different 143 00:08:38.519 --> 00:08:41.320 pitchers tonight to get this win, and we'll see what 144 00:08:41.799 --> 00:08:44.879 chairs they move on the deck tomorrow to bring in 145 00:08:44.919 --> 00:08:49.120 a fresh arm to that bullpen. Also, Dave Roberts already 146 00:08:49.120 --> 00:08:53.440 announced that the scheduled live batting practice throw Otani was 147 00:08:53.440 --> 00:08:56.679 going to have tomorrow has been pushed back to Sunday 148 00:08:57.039 --> 00:08:59.840 at the earliest because of how late it is. Right 149 00:08:59.840 --> 00:09:02.879 now now in New York, eight sixty six nine seven 150 00:09:02.960 --> 00:09:05.600 two five seventy is the phone number. Let's go out 151 00:09:05.639 --> 00:09:09.000 to Corey and Santa Clarita. You're on Dodger Talk with 152 00:09:09.080 --> 00:09:10.080 David vasse Hi. 153 00:09:10.200 --> 00:09:13.039 Corey, Hey, David, how you doing. 154 00:09:14.000 --> 00:09:17.039 I'm doing great. I mean, whoever lost this game tonight 155 00:09:17.159 --> 00:09:19.159 was not gonna feel great. But I feel like if 156 00:09:19.200 --> 00:09:22.039 the Dodgers would have lost it, they would have felt 157 00:09:22.039 --> 00:09:25.440 worse after using as many pitchers as they did and 158 00:09:25.960 --> 00:09:28.000 Tanner Scott blowing the save in the ninth. 159 00:09:29.600 --> 00:09:32.440 So what I what I was wondering? I read I 160 00:09:32.480 --> 00:09:37.360 read an article that we always we as the Dodgers, 161 00:09:37.440 --> 00:09:40.639 always have great pitching and always have we can always 162 00:09:40.679 --> 00:09:43.919 turn around something we try to fake something. I heard 163 00:09:43.960 --> 00:09:48.559 that people around Tanner Scott or something. He used to 164 00:09:48.720 --> 00:09:51.639 nibble at the edges and now he's too much in 165 00:09:51.679 --> 00:09:54.879 to the strike zone and that might be his downfall. 166 00:09:54.919 --> 00:09:57.799 He was I think you were talking about it earlier. 167 00:09:58.080 --> 00:10:00.240 The command is not as good. 168 00:10:01.600 --> 00:10:04.000 With the slider, it wasn't as good. But I will 169 00:10:04.039 --> 00:10:08.200 say this, even though he hasn't been as dominant, he's 170 00:10:08.240 --> 00:10:11.720 not walking as many hitters as he was walking last 171 00:10:11.799 --> 00:10:15.559 year because he has twenty five strikeouts this year and 172 00:10:15.679 --> 00:10:20.159 only two walks. Last year he had eighty four strikeouts 173 00:10:20.200 --> 00:10:23.440 and thirty six walks, So his whip, his walks are 174 00:10:23.559 --> 00:10:26.799 lower than what they were a year ago. So maybe 175 00:10:26.840 --> 00:10:31.200 he's trying to figure out whatever the Dodgers have adjusted 176 00:10:31.399 --> 00:10:33.440 to and he's got to figure it out, you know, 177 00:10:33.679 --> 00:10:35.720 or go back to his old self because what he 178 00:10:35.799 --> 00:10:38.519 was doing was working. I like that he's not walking 179 00:10:38.600 --> 00:10:42.279 hitters despite what he did tonight. But yeah, I mean 180 00:10:42.399 --> 00:10:43.559 that's part of the equation. 181 00:10:45.000 --> 00:10:47.799 Yeah, No, I do love that. And I know the 182 00:10:47.840 --> 00:10:50.840 Dodgers have a great feel for pictures and they try 183 00:10:50.879 --> 00:10:54.159 to tweak things here and there. And I read a 184 00:10:54.240 --> 00:10:57.480 fact that we had the same record two years ago 185 00:10:57.519 --> 00:11:01.360 through fifty games. Yeah, the first season does matter. It's 186 00:11:01.440 --> 00:11:02.240 just all. 187 00:11:02.080 --> 00:11:07.279 Differences, Corey. The differences this year. The Dodgers are redlining. 188 00:11:07.320 --> 00:11:10.720 They're pitching, and there's not a lot of reinforcements in 189 00:11:10.799 --> 00:11:14.120 the bullpen right now. It's not even about the starting staff, 190 00:11:14.159 --> 00:11:16.639 because they are gonna get glass Now back, They are 191 00:11:16.679 --> 00:11:19.639 going to get Blake Snell back. But are you certain 192 00:11:19.679 --> 00:11:22.279 they're going to get Evan Phillips back? Are you certain 193 00:11:22.279 --> 00:11:25.559 they're gonna get Blake Trenning back? And you know you 194 00:11:25.600 --> 00:11:28.639 can't make a trade between now and the trade deadline 195 00:11:28.720 --> 00:11:31.799 until probably forty eight hours for a difference maker. 196 00:11:32.960 --> 00:11:37.679 Yeah, with with Trinan and Phillips, that form and that elbow. 197 00:11:37.799 --> 00:11:38.559 That scares me. 198 00:11:39.200 --> 00:11:41.759 But well, all of it scares me because right now 199 00:11:41.799 --> 00:11:45.039 they've thrown more innings than any other bullpen out there. 200 00:11:45.039 --> 00:11:47.879 Coming into the game tonight, they had thrown two hundred 201 00:11:48.000 --> 00:11:51.000 and fourteen innings. Add ten more to that. They're up 202 00:11:51.080 --> 00:11:54.440 to two twenty four now. So that's the concerning part. 203 00:11:54.759 --> 00:11:58.120 The Dodgers have mastered the regular season, but right now 204 00:11:58.559 --> 00:12:01.519 they're in a very dangerous fought with their pitching, and 205 00:12:01.559 --> 00:12:05.679 they're facing really good teams and they cannot afford to 206 00:12:05.759 --> 00:12:09.440 have what happened tonight happened too often. Thanks for the 207 00:12:09.480 --> 00:12:12.200 phone call Corey, appreciate it. Eight sixty six nine eighty 208 00:12:12.200 --> 00:12:16.240 seven two five seventy is the phone number. Another play 209 00:12:16.279 --> 00:12:18.279 that I wanted to bring up tonight that I thought 210 00:12:18.360 --> 00:12:21.840 was absolutely ridiculous and I think we all agree on 211 00:12:21.879 --> 00:12:26.159 this is Trip Gibson, the third base umpire tonight, calling 212 00:12:26.200 --> 00:12:29.399 obstruction on Max Munsey in the bottom of the fourth inning. 213 00:12:29.919 --> 00:12:33.440 And you know, the Apple broadcast had Brian Gorman, who 214 00:12:33.600 --> 00:12:36.919 was a former major league umpire in the zoom room 215 00:12:37.080 --> 00:12:40.279 to be kind of like what Mike Pereira is for 216 00:12:40.440 --> 00:12:43.759 Fox in the NFL, to explain the rules and the 217 00:12:43.799 --> 00:12:47.120 calling and interpretations and all that. It just seemed like 218 00:12:47.120 --> 00:12:51.799 Brian Gorman was trying to justify Trip Gibson's horrible call 219 00:12:52.000 --> 00:12:55.399 because what he said, yes, was the rule, but that's 220 00:12:55.440 --> 00:12:59.559 not what took place. Trip Gibson was not trailing Starling Marte. 221 00:13:00.440 --> 00:13:04.759 Marte had more than enough daylight to see taoscar Hernandez 222 00:13:04.840 --> 00:13:09.720 make that catch. That was an overzealous umpire inserting himself 223 00:13:09.960 --> 00:13:13.200 where he did not need to insert himself. Eight sixty 224 00:13:13.240 --> 00:13:16.200 six nine eight seven two five seventy is the phone number. 225 00:13:16.399 --> 00:13:19.559 Let's go out to Sarquise since Santa Clarita, you're on 226 00:13:19.679 --> 00:13:22.240 Dodger Talk with David vasse Hi Sarquise. 227 00:13:23.279 --> 00:13:25.519 Hey, how you doing, Dave. Yeah, you just kind of 228 00:13:25.919 --> 00:13:30.120 took everything I was gonna say. That call was so bad. 229 00:13:30.600 --> 00:13:34.919 I'm just hoping going forward, these umpires don't kind of 230 00:13:35.000 --> 00:13:39.440 copycat and do what the third base umpire did tonight. 231 00:13:40.840 --> 00:13:41.039 Yeah. 232 00:13:41.039 --> 00:13:42.679 I don't even know why. That was in the back 233 00:13:42.720 --> 00:13:44.639 of his mind. And by the way, when Andy Pa 234 00:13:44.799 --> 00:13:49.000 has hit his sacrifice fly to score ti Oscar Hernandez 235 00:13:49.000 --> 00:13:53.120 in the thirteenth Dino Ebol was making a point to 236 00:13:53.320 --> 00:13:56.159 Trip Gibson and saying, hey, if you're gonna call obstruction 237 00:13:56.279 --> 00:13:59.440 on Muncie, this guy's standing in the same spot. And 238 00:13:59.519 --> 00:14:01.679 so Dina I wasn't letting it go even in the 239 00:14:01.759 --> 00:14:03.600 thirteenth inning tonight. I love that. 240 00:14:05.000 --> 00:14:07.200 Yeah, I saw that, and I agree with you, and 241 00:14:07.279 --> 00:14:11.840 I just hope this doesn't become a normal thing where umpires, 242 00:14:12.279 --> 00:14:14.960 you know, take it upon themselves to, you know, get 243 00:14:15.000 --> 00:14:17.120 these rules out of their hat. It's a rule, I 244 00:14:17.159 --> 00:14:19.399 get it, but it happens all the time. If you're 245 00:14:19.399 --> 00:14:21.279 didn't call this, then you know. 246 00:14:21.679 --> 00:14:24.519 It doesn't I disagree with you. It doesn't happen all 247 00:14:24.559 --> 00:14:27.440 the time. It doesn't happen all the time, and it 248 00:14:27.519 --> 00:14:31.440 didn't happen that time either. I mean, Munsey was just 249 00:14:31.559 --> 00:14:34.559 kind of there, he was close to the bag. He 250 00:14:34.639 --> 00:14:37.879 wasn't even on the bag. That was I don't know 251 00:14:37.919 --> 00:14:40.559 why Trip Gibson decided to make that call, But it 252 00:14:40.639 --> 00:14:44.120 doesn't happen all the time. It just doesn't. And he 253 00:14:44.240 --> 00:14:47.200 was maybe Trip Gibson was out of position. How about that. 254 00:14:47.320 --> 00:14:51.159 Just because he couldn't see Taoscar make the catch doesn't 255 00:14:51.200 --> 00:14:54.279 mean Mark te couldn't see ti Oscar make the catch. 256 00:14:55.519 --> 00:15:00.360 And my second point, Dave, is this, Juan Soto is 257 00:15:00.399 --> 00:15:03.519 going to go down as the worst free agent signing 258 00:15:03.960 --> 00:15:06.600 in the history of baseball for two reasons. Number one, 259 00:15:06.639 --> 00:15:11.480 the size of the contract, obviously the biggest contracts in history. 260 00:15:11.799 --> 00:15:16.639 And number two, his attitude. Terrible attitude, terrible teammate. I 261 00:15:16.639 --> 00:15:19.639 think the Mets got what they deserve. That's all I got. 262 00:15:19.720 --> 00:15:22.919 Thank you, all right, Sarkiz, thank you for the phone call. Well, 263 00:15:23.360 --> 00:15:26.519 I don't know about the attitude or you know. The 264 00:15:26.519 --> 00:15:30.639 one thing about Juan Soto is he loved being a Yankee, 265 00:15:30.679 --> 00:15:33.720 it seems like by all reports, and right now he's 266 00:15:33.720 --> 00:15:37.159 not playing with a lot of joy, and certain players 267 00:15:37.240 --> 00:15:40.919 need to play with joy. And Juan Soto, you know, 268 00:15:41.360 --> 00:15:43.679 number one, he's not a good outfielder, I don't care 269 00:15:43.720 --> 00:15:45.600 what anybody will tell you, and he's not going to 270 00:15:45.639 --> 00:15:49.200 get better. So eventually you're going to have a guy 271 00:15:49.279 --> 00:15:53.399 that doesn't generate the revenue that Otani generates, and he's 272 00:15:53.440 --> 00:15:56.279 only going to be a dh Part of the reason 273 00:15:56.440 --> 00:15:59.879 that Otani is who Otani is is not only is 274 00:16:00.000 --> 00:16:03.960 he a great baseball player, but he's an attraction. Wan 275 00:16:04.159 --> 00:16:08.399 Soto is not an attraction. I'm sorry. This was just 276 00:16:08.440 --> 00:16:12.519 an ego buy by Steve Cohen to say, you know what, 277 00:16:12.960 --> 00:16:15.120 I want to take this guy away from the Yankees. 278 00:16:15.600 --> 00:16:19.879 And Jorge Castillo, who covers the Yankees and Mets for ESPN, 279 00:16:20.000 --> 00:16:23.039 joined us on the Off Days Show yesterday and basically 280 00:16:23.159 --> 00:16:26.639 said Juan Soto wanted to go back to the Yankees 281 00:16:26.679 --> 00:16:30.720 for seven hundred plus million dollars, but his family pushed 282 00:16:30.759 --> 00:16:33.960 him to sign with the Mets and take a larger contract, 283 00:16:34.080 --> 00:16:38.440 even though he preferred to stay in pinstripes. So obviously 284 00:16:38.840 --> 00:16:41.360 there's some disconnect there and we'll see where it goes. 285 00:16:41.440 --> 00:16:43.960 But we don't want to see Jan Soto take off 286 00:16:44.039 --> 00:16:48.600 until he leaves LA next week, because he certainly doesn't 287 00:16:48.639 --> 00:16:51.639 look like the player we saw in twenty nineteen with 288 00:16:51.679 --> 00:16:55.039 the Nationals. He certainly doesn't look like the player that 289 00:16:55.120 --> 00:16:58.159 we saw with the Yankees. We kind of saw lapses 290 00:16:58.240 --> 00:17:00.679 like this with the Padres. He didn't seem like he 291 00:17:00.759 --> 00:17:03.840 was fitting in really well there. So we've seen this 292 00:17:04.000 --> 00:17:07.119 version of Juan Soto and it doesn't usually go well. 293 00:17:07.519 --> 00:17:10.279 Eight six six nine eighty seven two five seventy is 294 00:17:10.319 --> 00:17:13.079 the phone number Dodgers hold on for a seven to 295 00:17:13.200 --> 00:17:17.160 five win in thirteen innings tonight at City Field over 296 00:17:17.480 --> 00:17:20.759 the Mets. And by the way, I know the Dodgers 297 00:17:21.039 --> 00:17:24.880 we're talking to Boris and Soto about being involved in 298 00:17:25.000 --> 00:17:29.160 signing for him. Uh, if they signed Juan Soto, does 299 00:17:29.200 --> 00:17:32.640 that mean they don't sign Tioscar Hernandez. Because if I'm 300 00:17:32.640 --> 00:17:35.119 in that room and they're asking me, who would you 301 00:17:35.200 --> 00:17:38.559 rather have Juan Soto or Tioscar Hernandez on my team 302 00:17:39.000 --> 00:17:42.279 in a team sport, not just home run derby or 303 00:17:42.279 --> 00:17:45.720 in a vacuum, I would take eight nine ti Oscar 304 00:17:45.759 --> 00:17:51.759 Hernandez is over eight or nine Jan Sotos eight six 305 00:17:51.880 --> 00:17:54.680 six ninety eighty seven two five seventy is the phone number. 306 00:17:54.759 --> 00:17:57.240 Let's go out to Bob and Malibu. Hi, Bob, you're 307 00:17:57.279 --> 00:17:58.039 on Dodger Talk. 308 00:17:59.279 --> 00:17:59.799 Uncle Dave. 309 00:18:00.000 --> 00:18:01.319 Always good to be with you, Man. 310 00:18:02.319 --> 00:18:04.440 Thank you, Bob. What do you got well? 311 00:18:04.440 --> 00:18:06.839 First of all, big thanks to you, Colin and Dwayne 312 00:18:06.839 --> 00:18:08.000 for sticking out a long day. 313 00:18:08.079 --> 00:18:08.279 Man. 314 00:18:08.319 --> 00:18:10.920 I really appreciate you guys doing that for all and 315 00:18:11.039 --> 00:18:16.279 calling fans and Colin he of course. Man absolutely had 316 00:18:16.319 --> 00:18:18.440 a chance to hear from Eric Carros a while back, 317 00:18:18.440 --> 00:18:20.720 and he talked about baseball and he talked about the 318 00:18:20.759 --> 00:18:22.519 grind and what you guys are doing is part of 319 00:18:22.559 --> 00:18:25.000 the grind that comes with this sport that players go through, 320 00:18:25.000 --> 00:18:28.680 coaching staff, everybody. So thanks, Man, appreciate you guys doing 321 00:18:28.720 --> 00:18:29.200 what you do. 322 00:18:29.960 --> 00:18:32.519 Hey, thank you, Bob. What'd you think about the game tonight? 323 00:18:33.440 --> 00:18:35.400 It was a wild game, man. You know, I couldn't 324 00:18:35.400 --> 00:18:37.039 agree with you more. There was a lot of twists 325 00:18:37.039 --> 00:18:39.039 and turns to this game. I don't think it was 326 00:18:39.079 --> 00:18:42.759 a textbook game by any any means whatsoever. I think 327 00:18:42.799 --> 00:18:45.400 my biggest question for you is, and you've been talking 328 00:18:45.400 --> 00:18:47.240 it up, it's been a wild week of calls for 329 00:18:47.319 --> 00:18:49.559 you too, man, Like you said, all of a sudden, 330 00:18:49.559 --> 00:18:51.720 all this love for Taylor and Barnes that hasn't been 331 00:18:51.799 --> 00:18:54.160 there in years popped out of the woodwork. And then 332 00:18:54.200 --> 00:18:56.759 you've even got a guy arguing pizza with you earlier, man. 333 00:18:56.799 --> 00:18:59.519 So it's been a while to be on the callboard 334 00:18:59.559 --> 00:19:03.319 for you too, man. But my question is, you know 335 00:19:03.640 --> 00:19:06.960 where does the pitching go from from here? Like, what 336 00:19:07.000 --> 00:19:09.480 do we do with the bullpen tomorrow? Does your man 337 00:19:09.480 --> 00:19:10.920 also get a call in the middle of the night. 338 00:19:11.000 --> 00:19:11.759 What happens now? 339 00:19:11.839 --> 00:19:12.039 Dave? 340 00:19:12.920 --> 00:19:16.319 Yeah, Frosso main, I don't know the last time Frosso pitched. 341 00:19:16.359 --> 00:19:19.160 I gotta look that up. Is it justin Roblesky? I 342 00:19:19.200 --> 00:19:22.119 gotta look when the last time he pitched. Because they're 343 00:19:22.119 --> 00:19:24.680 gonna need an arm. Maybe they don't need to use 344 00:19:24.720 --> 00:19:28.319 it tomorrow, but they may need to use it on Sunday. 345 00:19:28.480 --> 00:19:30.839 So yeah, they need an arm. They need an arm, 346 00:19:30.880 --> 00:19:34.000 and they need more importantly, Bob, Tony Gonsolin to be 347 00:19:34.160 --> 00:19:37.519 Tony Gonsolin that we have grown to know and go 348 00:19:37.559 --> 00:19:39.079 at least six innings tomorrow. 349 00:19:40.240 --> 00:19:42.559 Agree. Agree, He's got to show up. He's got to 350 00:19:42.599 --> 00:19:44.279 give us some depth, he's got to get some run 351 00:19:44.319 --> 00:19:46.559 support put in his mind at ease a little bit 352 00:19:46.559 --> 00:19:48.119 so he can go a little deeper into the game, 353 00:19:48.680 --> 00:19:50.119 you know, just to get a little bit of linked 354 00:19:50.119 --> 00:19:52.359 out of some starting pitching, which we desperately need. I 355 00:19:52.400 --> 00:19:54.519 agree with you, Ben, but it's interesting to me to 356 00:19:54.559 --> 00:19:56.279 see how they're gonna play it. Like you said, who 357 00:19:56.279 --> 00:19:58.599 are they going to move up the ladder? The Dodgers 358 00:19:58.640 --> 00:20:01.119 are really good at making those moves. Thank goodness, who 359 00:20:01.200 --> 00:20:02.720 got some guys who are happy to come up on 360 00:20:02.839 --> 00:20:05.720 moments notice and really get in the game and be competitive. Man, 361 00:20:05.880 --> 00:20:09.039 kudos to Ben Casparius once again. The guy has proven 362 00:20:09.079 --> 00:20:10.759 to be something of a standout this year. 363 00:20:10.799 --> 00:20:14.000 Man, no doubt, he broke up, he broke out last 364 00:20:14.079 --> 00:20:16.319 year in Game four of the World Series. He came 365 00:20:16.359 --> 00:20:19.240 to spring training just as good as he was, if 366 00:20:19.240 --> 00:20:22.039 not better than last year. And like he has told 367 00:20:22.039 --> 00:20:24.839 me on many occasions, he just doesn't want to go 368 00:20:24.920 --> 00:20:28.000 back to Oklahoma City. He doesn't care if he starts, 369 00:20:28.200 --> 00:20:30.759 he doesn't care if he closes, he doesn't care if 370 00:20:30.759 --> 00:20:33.119 he comes in after an hour and thirty eight minute 371 00:20:33.200 --> 00:20:35.519 rain delay. He just wants to be up here. And 372 00:20:35.559 --> 00:20:39.319 you could tell he has that passion and toughness that 373 00:20:39.400 --> 00:20:42.359 it takes to be in that role. Eight six six 374 00:20:42.480 --> 00:20:45.680 ninety seven two five seventy is the phone number. Let's 375 00:20:45.680 --> 00:20:48.480 take another phone call before we check in with Jose Mota. 376 00:20:48.759 --> 00:20:51.680 Let's go out to Irvine. Brandon, You're on Dodger Talk. 377 00:20:51.759 --> 00:20:54.240 Hi Brandon, Hello. 378 00:20:54.039 --> 00:20:56.680 David, Big Panny, yours first time calling that you do 379 00:20:56.720 --> 00:20:59.960 a great show. I think thank you brand Over talking 380 00:21:00.160 --> 00:21:06.000 about you're welcome. Talking about Soto Hernandez, you're right dead on, 381 00:21:06.000 --> 00:21:08.680 one hundred percent, much better player all the way around, 382 00:21:09.160 --> 00:21:11.559 and he's paid a fraction of what Soto makes. But 383 00:21:11.960 --> 00:21:14.880 my main reason for calling is this pitching is you've 384 00:21:14.920 --> 00:21:17.519 been talking about is really scary to me as a 385 00:21:17.559 --> 00:21:20.559 lifelong fan. We had like ten pitchers on the d 386 00:21:20.799 --> 00:21:23.799 l or ten guys that we know their names, Emmitt 387 00:21:23.839 --> 00:21:26.160 she and I can't even think of the other guy 388 00:21:26.240 --> 00:21:28.400 last year that's been out for like a year. He 389 00:21:28.559 --> 00:21:30.759 did really good for us until he blew his arm out. 390 00:21:31.400 --> 00:21:33.960 That was Gavin Stone. He made more starts for the 391 00:21:34.039 --> 00:21:37.079 Dodgers last year than any other pitcher. He made thirty 392 00:21:37.119 --> 00:21:40.240 starts for the Dodgers last year, and he blew out 393 00:21:40.240 --> 00:21:44.799 his shoulder. That's the difference between this year. Hold up, 394 00:21:44.920 --> 00:21:48.240 that's the difference between last year and this year. You 395 00:21:48.359 --> 00:21:52.039 had river Ryans, you had Gavin Stones, you had guys 396 00:21:52.119 --> 00:21:55.119 like that you could tap into, and this year you 397 00:21:55.279 --> 00:21:58.960 just don't have that. I mean, the Dodgers really needed 398 00:21:59.000 --> 00:22:02.160 Bobby Miller to make to make the next step, and 399 00:22:02.200 --> 00:22:04.839 he hasn't taken that next step, at least right now. 400 00:22:05.160 --> 00:22:07.880 That's that's a part of this season that a lot 401 00:22:07.920 --> 00:22:11.400
