00:00:12.279 --> 00:00:14.039
<v Speaker 1>back David Basse.

5
00:00:16.679 --> 00:00:20.719
<v Speaker 2>We are live at Chasefield after the Dodgers hold on

6
00:00:20.879 --> 00:00:24.239
<v Speaker 2>to beat the Diamondbacks tonight by a final score of

7
00:00:24.480 --> 00:00:27.760
<v Speaker 2>eight to six, in front of the largest crowd of

8
00:00:27.800 --> 00:00:32.240
<v Speaker 2>the season at Chase Field, fifty thousand plus to watch

9
00:00:32.280 --> 00:00:36.880
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers take a six game lead over the Arizona

10
00:00:37.000 --> 00:00:41.079
<v Speaker 2>Diamondbacks and for that matter, the Padres as well, who

11
00:00:41.159 --> 00:00:44.200
<v Speaker 2>lost to the Rays earlier tonight. So the Dodgers have

12
00:00:44.280 --> 00:00:48.799
<v Speaker 2>a six game lead over both Arizona and the Padres

13
00:00:48.840 --> 00:00:52.960
<v Speaker 2>after winning the first two games of this series. We

14
00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:55.759
<v Speaker 2>have phone lines open at eight six six, nine, eight

15
00:00:55.880 --> 00:01:00.679
<v Speaker 2>seven two five seventy. It was playoff atmosphere here in Arizona.

16
00:01:01.000 --> 00:01:05.120
<v Speaker 2>It should be playoff like atmosphere here on Dodger Talk.

17
00:01:05.239 --> 00:01:08.760
<v Speaker 2>We want to hear from you. Between now and nine thirty,

18
00:01:09.079 --> 00:01:11.799
<v Speaker 2>we will hear from Tommy Edmund. We will hear from

19
00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:15.560
<v Speaker 2>Gavin Stone. Also coming up later in the show at

20
00:01:15.560 --> 00:01:18.879
<v Speaker 2>about nine point fifteen, I'll share with you part of

21
00:01:18.920 --> 00:01:23.079
<v Speaker 2>my conversation with Tom with Tyler Glass now who gave

22
00:01:23.159 --> 00:01:26.319
<v Speaker 2>us the latest update on whether or not he is

23
00:01:26.359 --> 00:01:28.959
<v Speaker 2>going to be able to pitch in the regular season

24
00:01:29.319 --> 00:01:32.480
<v Speaker 2>and if he'll be ready for the postseason. So a

25
00:01:32.519 --> 00:01:35.840
<v Speaker 2>lot to get to between now and nine thirty right

26
00:01:35.879 --> 00:01:39.719
<v Speaker 2>here on Dodger Talk Live from Chase Field, as a

27
00:01:39.840 --> 00:01:43.879
<v Speaker 2>postgame concert is going on right now. Feels like Arozeto

28
00:01:44.079 --> 00:01:46.959
<v Speaker 2>concert is going on, and there are a lot of

29
00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:50.000
<v Speaker 2>fans still here at the stadium dancing in the aisle.

30
00:01:50.159 --> 00:01:54.359
<v Speaker 2>So a very festive atmosphere here at Chase Field as

31
00:01:54.760 --> 00:01:58.920
<v Speaker 2>mostly Dodger fans have stuck around to celebrate an eight

32
00:01:58.959 --> 00:02:01.879
<v Speaker 2>to six win. And what a first inning it was

33
00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:06.799
<v Speaker 2>for the Dodgers. Three consecutive home runs against Mary Kelly.

34
00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:10.080
<v Speaker 2>It was show hay O'tani with his forty fourth of

35
00:02:10.159 --> 00:02:13.879
<v Speaker 2>the season, followed by Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman. That

36
00:02:14.039 --> 00:02:17.479
<v Speaker 2>was one of three hits for Freddy Freeman. No Dodger

37
00:02:17.639 --> 00:02:21.840
<v Speaker 2>team has ever hit three consecutive home runs to start

38
00:02:21.879 --> 00:02:25.080
<v Speaker 2>a game, and in fact, there were only five other

39
00:02:25.199 --> 00:02:28.840
<v Speaker 2>teams or four other teams that have ever had three

40
00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:30.159
<v Speaker 2>players lead off.

41
00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:31.400
<v Speaker 3>The game with home runs.

42
00:02:31.759 --> 00:02:34.360
<v Speaker 2>The last team to do it was the twenty twelve

43
00:02:34.400 --> 00:02:40.039
<v Speaker 2>Baltimore Orioles, Ryan Flaherty, JJ Hardy and Nick Markikis did

44
00:02:40.080 --> 00:02:44.159
<v Speaker 2>it against the Rangers. Tonight it was Otani Betson Freeman

45
00:02:44.639 --> 00:02:49.159
<v Speaker 2>against Mary Kelly, and then after the Dodgers gave Gavin

46
00:02:49.240 --> 00:02:52.560
<v Speaker 2>Stone an early three to nothing lead, he gave it

47
00:02:52.639 --> 00:02:56.960
<v Speaker 2>back and then some. The Diamondbacks scored four runs, including

48
00:02:57.439 --> 00:03:00.680
<v Speaker 2>an inside the park home run by corbing Carol and

49
00:03:00.759 --> 00:03:04.039
<v Speaker 2>from there ta Oscar Hernandez may have misplayed a ball

50
00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:06.400
<v Speaker 2>in left field to allow a couple of more runs

51
00:03:06.439 --> 00:03:10.919
<v Speaker 2>to score. So the Dodgers certainly felt good after the

52
00:03:10.960 --> 00:03:13.719
<v Speaker 2>top of the first inning, but knew they were going

53
00:03:13.759 --> 00:03:17.960
<v Speaker 2>to be in another fight tonight after the Diamondbacks did

54
00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:21.639
<v Speaker 2>not go away, And that seems to be this Division

55
00:03:21.759 --> 00:03:24.599
<v Speaker 2>race in the second half of the year, where the

56
00:03:24.639 --> 00:03:27.479
<v Speaker 2>Diamondbacks have not gone away and last night did not

57
00:03:27.599 --> 00:03:30.919
<v Speaker 2>go away, and tonight still hung in there and gave

58
00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:34.879
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers everything they could handle. But luckily the Dodgers

59
00:03:34.879 --> 00:03:38.520
<v Speaker 2>were able to get Tommy Edmund's big, two out, two

60
00:03:38.599 --> 00:03:41.199
<v Speaker 2>strike base hit in the top of the ninth inning

61
00:03:41.319 --> 00:03:45.319
<v Speaker 2>off of Justin Martinez to give the Dodgers two runs.

62
00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:48.680
<v Speaker 2>They needed for Evan Phillips to slam the door for

63
00:03:48.840 --> 00:03:52.599
<v Speaker 2>his eighteenth save of the season. And how about Ben Casparius,

64
00:03:52.639 --> 00:03:56.719
<v Speaker 2>our pregame guest, made his major league debut tonight, pitching

65
00:03:56.719 --> 00:03:59.960
<v Speaker 2>a scoreless eighth inning and is rewarded with his first

66
00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:04.479
<v Speaker 2>first ever major league win. Eight six six eight seven

67
00:04:04.599 --> 00:04:07.560
<v Speaker 2>two five seventy is the phone number. Let's sit down,

68
00:04:07.560 --> 00:04:11.199
<v Speaker 2>toy Kirsten Watson, who was on sports net LA with

69
00:04:11.319 --> 00:04:12.120
<v Speaker 2>Tommy Edmund.

70
00:04:12.919 --> 00:04:15.240
<v Speaker 4>Tommy, your go ahead single there late in the game,

71
00:04:15.280 --> 00:04:16.360
<v Speaker 4>the game was on the line.

72
00:04:16.399 --> 00:04:16.879
<v Speaker 1>What were you.

73
00:04:16.879 --> 00:04:19.600
<v Speaker 4>Looking for when you're facing a pitcher who's high velocity

74
00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:20.959
<v Speaker 4>pitching one hundred and three months per hour.

75
00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:21.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that guy's nasty.

76
00:04:21.839 --> 00:04:23.079
<v Speaker 5>I was just trying to put something to play, to

77
00:04:23.079 --> 00:04:25.079
<v Speaker 5>be honest, guys did a good job early, you getting

78
00:04:25.079 --> 00:04:26.439
<v Speaker 5>on base, and you know, just trying to give.

79
00:04:26.399 --> 00:04:26.879
<v Speaker 3>Us a chance.

80
00:04:27.360 --> 00:04:30.000
<v Speaker 4>You came into a situation two outs, two strikes. Your

81
00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:32.040
<v Speaker 4>team has been fantastic in the situation. So what is

82
00:04:32.079 --> 00:04:34.360
<v Speaker 4>your mindset in that moment? Yeah, just battling.

83
00:04:34.399 --> 00:04:36.399
<v Speaker 5>You know, these guys have some really good pictures and uh,

84
00:04:36.600 --> 00:04:39.079
<v Speaker 5>you know, just trying to outcompete them. You know, put

85
00:04:39.079 --> 00:04:41.639
<v Speaker 5>something in play there, and we did a really good job.

86
00:04:41.519 --> 00:04:43.279
<v Speaker 4>That throughout this series so far, You've been with this

87
00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:45.240
<v Speaker 4>team for a month now, but you've only been active

88
00:04:45.240 --> 00:04:47.279
<v Speaker 4>for a handful of weeks. When you think about just

89
00:04:47.319 --> 00:04:48.879
<v Speaker 4>coming in the clutch, how special was.

90
00:04:48.879 --> 00:04:50.079
<v Speaker 3>That for you in that moment?

91
00:04:50.319 --> 00:04:52.319
<v Speaker 5>It was fun, really fun. I've seen these guys have

92
00:04:52.399 --> 00:04:54.079
<v Speaker 5>some huge hits in just a couple of weeks I've

93
00:04:54.079 --> 00:04:55.920
<v Speaker 5>been here, you know, a lot of big home runs.

94
00:04:55.920 --> 00:04:57.399
<v Speaker 5>So I'm just happy to be part of it.

95
00:04:57.480 --> 00:04:59.959
<v Speaker 4>This is your first taste of Dodgers, diamond Back says, right,

96
00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:01.079
<v Speaker 4>read that's been coming.

97
00:05:01.120 --> 00:05:02.040
<v Speaker 1>The intensity of it.

98
00:05:02.199 --> 00:05:04.000
<v Speaker 4>How would you describe what the series has been like

99
00:05:04.040 --> 00:05:04.399
<v Speaker 4>so far?

100
00:05:04.560 --> 00:05:06.279
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, it's been intense. You know, every game has been

101
00:05:06.279 --> 00:05:08.680
<v Speaker 5>a battle so far. You know, great crowds here and

102
00:05:09.519 --> 00:05:11.399
<v Speaker 5>so you can kind of feel the intensity from the

103
00:05:11.439 --> 00:05:12.680
<v Speaker 5>outside and I'll beat on the inside.

104
00:05:12.720 --> 00:05:13.839
<v Speaker 1>It's that much cooler.

105
00:05:14.000 --> 00:05:15.839
<v Speaker 4>Seen the reaction we saw from you on the field,

106
00:05:15.839 --> 00:05:17.639
<v Speaker 4>from your teammates, How would you described as how it

107
00:05:17.759 --> 00:05:19.240
<v Speaker 4>was being able to share this moment with that.

108
00:05:19.720 --> 00:05:21.720
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I'm just so excited, you know. It was an

109
00:05:21.720 --> 00:05:24.480
<v Speaker 5>amazing feeling out there and hoppy. We got the win.

110
00:05:24.959 --> 00:05:27.439
<v Speaker 4>Congratulations on this one tonight, Tommy thank.

111
00:05:27.279 --> 00:05:28.519
<v Speaker 3>You appreciate it.

112
00:05:29.319 --> 00:05:32.480
<v Speaker 2>Tommy Edmund with his biggest hit as a Dodger yet,

113
00:05:32.600 --> 00:05:35.639
<v Speaker 2>a two run single in the ninth inning off of

114
00:05:35.839 --> 00:05:38.759
<v Speaker 2>Justin Martinez. He was down one two in the count

115
00:05:39.160 --> 00:05:42.519
<v Speaker 2>with two outs in that inning, and Tommy Edmund did

116
00:05:42.519 --> 00:05:46.120
<v Speaker 2>not even start the game. Kevin Kiermyer did. Dave Roberts

117
00:05:46.120 --> 00:05:48.519
<v Speaker 2>brought Edmund in as a pinch hitter in the sixth

118
00:05:48.600 --> 00:05:51.759
<v Speaker 2>inning and it paid off late in this game. Not

119
00:05:51.920 --> 00:05:55.279
<v Speaker 2>to mention, Edmund made a great diving catch in the

120
00:05:55.319 --> 00:05:58.279
<v Speaker 2>eighth inning on Lordis Guriel, who had a great game

121
00:05:58.319 --> 00:06:01.360
<v Speaker 2>as well a home run, a double, and three RBIs

122
00:06:01.639 --> 00:06:04.560
<v Speaker 2>eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy is

123
00:06:04.600 --> 00:06:08.240
<v Speaker 2>the phone number. Dodgers beat the Diamondbacks eight to six

124
00:06:08.319 --> 00:06:12.079
<v Speaker 2>tonight and now have a six game lead over Arizona

125
00:06:12.160 --> 00:06:14.800
<v Speaker 2>in the NL West. And with the win tonight for

126
00:06:14.920 --> 00:06:17.920
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers, who won their eighty second game of the season,

127
00:06:18.319 --> 00:06:21.920
<v Speaker 2>they clinched the fourteenth consecutive winning season.

128
00:06:21.639 --> 00:06:22.680
<v Speaker 3>For this ball club.

129
00:06:23.000 --> 00:06:26.519
<v Speaker 2>The Dodgers have not finished below five hundred since twenty ten,

130
00:06:26.839 --> 00:06:29.959
<v Speaker 2>when they were eighty to eighty two. They are now

131
00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:34.079
<v Speaker 2>going to have fourteen straight winning seasons, which is the

132
00:06:34.120 --> 00:06:38.480
<v Speaker 2>second longest current streak in baseball, to only the Yankees,

133
00:06:38.480 --> 00:06:42.720
<v Speaker 2>who have had thirty one consecutive winning seasons in the

134
00:06:42.759 --> 00:06:46.800
<v Speaker 2>regular season. So the Dodgers continue to put it together,

135
00:06:47.040 --> 00:06:50.560
<v Speaker 2>and as they have gotten healthier, it seems like games

136
00:06:50.600 --> 00:06:53.839
<v Speaker 2>are just a little bit too long for the opposition,

137
00:06:54.240 --> 00:06:57.319
<v Speaker 2>and it feels like the regular season might be just

138
00:06:57.360 --> 00:07:00.800
<v Speaker 2>a little too long for their opposition as well. Let's

139
00:07:00.839 --> 00:07:03.079
<v Speaker 2>go out to the phones for the first time, John,

140
00:07:03.399 --> 00:07:05.800
<v Speaker 2>who was here at Chase Field. How you doing, John,

141
00:07:05.839 --> 00:07:06.920
<v Speaker 2>You're on Dodger Talk.

142
00:07:07.680 --> 00:07:12.360
<v Speaker 6>Oh my god, David. It was amazing. There were so

143
00:07:12.560 --> 00:07:15.480
<v Speaker 6>many Dodger fans that Chase to that it was full

144
00:07:15.480 --> 00:07:20.639
<v Speaker 6>of Dodgers. There was literally you could literally hear whippers

145
00:07:20.879 --> 00:07:24.279
<v Speaker 6>when Otani came to the plate. Everyone was cheering, even

146
00:07:24.759 --> 00:07:28.399
<v Speaker 6>the idiot Diamondback fans. It was amazing. It was crazy.

147
00:07:28.439 --> 00:07:32.759
<v Speaker 6>It was pandemonium, like Victor Brick always says, I mean

148
00:07:33.040 --> 00:07:37.439
<v Speaker 6>absolute pandemonium. It was incredible. The problem I have is

149
00:07:37.560 --> 00:07:42.079
<v Speaker 6>why does Dave Roberts have to pinch hit for Mounsie

150
00:07:42.360 --> 00:07:47.079
<v Speaker 6>in that situation? Monthsy is having an incredible series and

151
00:07:47.319 --> 00:07:50.800
<v Speaker 6>basses are loaded, you gotta have Mounsey have to play.

152
00:07:50.800 --> 00:07:54.879
<v Speaker 6>I don't care about KEI k how great he was.

153
00:07:54.920 --> 00:07:57.639
<v Speaker 6>He had a great bunch and you know the ending

154
00:07:57.680 --> 00:08:02.519
<v Speaker 6>after that. But it doesn't it matter, like like Monthly

155
00:08:02.759 --> 00:08:06.040
<v Speaker 6>has to have that AB. He has to have that AB.

156
00:08:06.279 --> 00:08:09.560
<v Speaker 6>It's it's crucial. And I'm on my way now to

157
00:08:09.839 --> 00:08:14.800
<v Speaker 6>temp to try to get Petros his autograph because you're

158
00:08:14.800 --> 00:08:16.399
<v Speaker 6>doing the you know the game.

159
00:08:16.199 --> 00:08:19.560
<v Speaker 3>On it right, one little secret here.

160
00:08:19.480 --> 00:08:21.160
<v Speaker 6>And again his autograph.

161
00:08:21.240 --> 00:08:23.360
<v Speaker 3>Here's a secret. He's not in Tempe.

162
00:08:23.399 --> 00:08:26.759
<v Speaker 2>He calls the games from a studio in La Okay.

163
00:08:26.839 --> 00:08:28.240
<v Speaker 2>So don't break your back for that.

164
00:08:29.439 --> 00:08:32.320
<v Speaker 6>So are you calling Petros lazy or what? I don't

165
00:08:32.360 --> 00:08:34.600
<v Speaker 6>understand Hen'.

166
00:08:34.080 --> 00:08:35.639
<v Speaker 3>Saying it's the magic of TV.

167
00:08:36.480 --> 00:08:39.200
<v Speaker 2>He's the nightcap game in college football and that's the

168
00:08:39.240 --> 00:08:41.360
<v Speaker 2>way they do it, and he does it better than most.

169
00:08:42.200 --> 00:08:45.720
<v Speaker 2>And by the way, left handers against Joe manniply this season,

170
00:08:46.159 --> 00:08:47.279
<v Speaker 2>hitting two five.

171
00:08:48.399 --> 00:08:51.679
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, but you agree that Months he deserved that AB, right,

172
00:08:51.799 --> 00:08:53.919
<v Speaker 6>I mean you have to agree as a baseball love,

173
00:08:56.320 --> 00:08:56.759
<v Speaker 6>I don't know.

174
00:08:57.039 --> 00:09:00.440
<v Speaker 3>I don't agree. I wouldn't be opposed to Months having

175
00:09:00.519 --> 00:09:01.039
<v Speaker 3>that at bat.

176
00:09:01.080 --> 00:09:03.600
<v Speaker 2>But the facts are, before he got hurt, he was

177
00:09:03.720 --> 00:09:07.080
<v Speaker 2>not very good against left handers and mantiplies pretty good

178
00:09:07.519 --> 00:09:10.799
<v Speaker 2>against lefty. So that's the reason why Dave Roberts decided

179
00:09:10.879 --> 00:09:13.240
<v Speaker 2>to go with the guy that was filling in for

180
00:09:13.320 --> 00:09:15.399
<v Speaker 2>a Monthsie all these months and in the month of

181
00:09:15.480 --> 00:09:18.159
<v Speaker 2>August hitting close to three hundred John.

182
00:09:19.159 --> 00:09:22.480
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, but the results were okay, the results.

183
00:09:22.879 --> 00:09:25.360
<v Speaker 2>You can't just base it off the results. You got

184
00:09:25.480 --> 00:09:28.240
<v Speaker 2>to base it off what is the right decision as

185
00:09:28.279 --> 00:09:30.799
<v Speaker 2>a manager. And I'm not going to be up in

186
00:09:30.960 --> 00:09:34.080
<v Speaker 2>arms about that. What I will say is and thank

187
00:09:34.120 --> 00:09:36.879
<v Speaker 2>you for the phone call. I was a little surprised

188
00:09:36.960 --> 00:09:41.000
<v Speaker 2>Dave Roberts took out Gavin Stone after five innings of

189
00:09:41.159 --> 00:09:45.320
<v Speaker 2>work because Stone retired eight to the last or retired

190
00:09:45.639 --> 00:09:47.759
<v Speaker 2>his last eight in a row and twelve of the

191
00:09:47.840 --> 00:09:51.519
<v Speaker 2>last thirteen after a rocky fourth inning or first inning.

192
00:09:52.039 --> 00:09:55.279
<v Speaker 2>And for me, Gavin Stone was at eighty four pitches

193
00:09:55.480 --> 00:09:59.480
<v Speaker 2>and the Dodgers activated Brent Honeywell and Ben Casparrius because

194
00:09:59.519 --> 00:10:03.360
<v Speaker 2>they had to seven relievers last night. You can't tell

195
00:10:03.440 --> 00:10:06.879
<v Speaker 2>us on one side that your bullpen is extra thin

196
00:10:07.480 --> 00:10:09.559
<v Speaker 2>and you need to get length out of your starter,

197
00:10:10.039 --> 00:10:13.000
<v Speaker 2>and then your starter retires the last eight in a

198
00:10:13.120 --> 00:10:16.159
<v Speaker 2>row and twelve of his last thirteen, and you pull

199
00:10:16.240 --> 00:10:20.120
<v Speaker 2>the plug because you know, the run of hitters are

200
00:10:20.200 --> 00:10:22.320
<v Speaker 2>coming up at that point in time in the game.

201
00:10:22.879 --> 00:10:24.840
<v Speaker 2>I mean at that at that point, you got to

202
00:10:24.919 --> 00:10:26.720
<v Speaker 2>try to find a way to get one more inning

203
00:10:26.799 --> 00:10:27.799
<v Speaker 2>out of Gavin Stone.

204
00:10:27.879 --> 00:10:30.120
<v Speaker 3>And you know, it was a gamble.

205
00:10:30.279 --> 00:10:32.759
<v Speaker 2>Let's just say that it was a gamble and it

206
00:10:32.879 --> 00:10:35.320
<v Speaker 2>did not come back to hurt the Dodgers that badly.

207
00:10:35.440 --> 00:10:37.919
<v Speaker 2>But to me, I would have let Gavin Stone go

208
00:10:38.000 --> 00:10:41.279
<v Speaker 2>out for one more inning for those reasons. Eight six six,

209
00:10:41.600 --> 00:10:44.519
<v Speaker 2>eight seven two five seventy is the phone number. Let's

210
00:10:44.559 --> 00:10:47.000
<v Speaker 2>go out to Manuel and Guardina. You're on Dodger talk

211
00:10:47.080 --> 00:10:48.519
<v Speaker 2>him any TV?

212
00:10:48.879 --> 00:10:50.879
<v Speaker 7>Hello, how are you doing to night, sir?

213
00:10:51.679 --> 00:10:52.240
<v Speaker 3>Tremendous?

214
00:10:53.320 --> 00:10:57.399
<v Speaker 7>Absolutely what a game man history, you know what I

215
00:10:57.480 --> 00:11:02.000
<v Speaker 7>mean with the three home runs? And uh, I have

216
00:11:02.200 --> 00:11:05.399
<v Speaker 7>to eat a little crow once again with Freedman and

217
00:11:05.519 --> 00:11:09.639
<v Speaker 7>the genius of Freedman, Tommy Edmunds looks like he fits

218
00:11:09.840 --> 00:11:13.519
<v Speaker 7>in like a glove with this offense, like he's the

219
00:11:13.720 --> 00:11:17.759
<v Speaker 7>exact thing that we were missing the last couple of years.

220
00:11:19.080 --> 00:11:20.399
<v Speaker 7>I already love this guy.

221
00:11:20.519 --> 00:11:20.679
<v Speaker 4>Man.

222
00:11:21.399 --> 00:11:25.159
<v Speaker 7>Uh and uh, it seems like he makes the offense

223
00:11:25.960 --> 00:11:28.799
<v Speaker 7>just say it gives it another whole nother angle and

224
00:11:30.240 --> 00:11:31.000
<v Speaker 7>I'm really.

225
00:11:32.759 --> 00:11:33.000
<v Speaker 8>Yes.

226
00:11:33.679 --> 00:11:36.799
<v Speaker 7>And and the guy I heard you talking to him,

227
00:11:36.840 --> 00:11:40.279
<v Speaker 7>well yesterday right pregame. I mean, I just which guy

228
00:11:40.679 --> 00:11:43.960
<v Speaker 7>his head is on his shoulders, Edmunds. Didn't you talk

229
00:11:44.000 --> 00:11:46.480
<v Speaker 7>to Edman a day or two ago? All right?

230
00:11:47.080 --> 00:11:50.879
<v Speaker 3>He was on Rogan and Rodney Actually okay, Well, I

231
00:11:51.120 --> 00:11:52.399
<v Speaker 3>just like his attitude.

232
00:11:53.000 --> 00:11:55.639
<v Speaker 7>I like every like the way he was answering things.

233
00:11:56.600 --> 00:12:00.320
<v Speaker 7>Apparently like he was kind of a back in fourth

234
00:12:00.399 --> 00:12:02.960
<v Speaker 7>with the switch hitting in high school, but then went

235
00:12:03.080 --> 00:12:05.279
<v Speaker 7>head on with it. It was all good man anyway,

236
00:12:05.720 --> 00:12:06.519
<v Speaker 7>I'm just hyped up.

237
00:12:09.480 --> 00:12:12.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Edmund's great, Manuell, thank you for the phone call.

238
00:12:12.360 --> 00:12:14.799
<v Speaker 3>Appreciate it. And it was a big win. Always great

239
00:12:14.840 --> 00:12:18.120
<v Speaker 3>hearing from you. Manny. There he goes Manuel and Gardena. Yeah,

240
00:12:18.200 --> 00:12:19.000
<v Speaker 3>Tommy Edmund.

241
00:12:19.360 --> 00:12:23.320
<v Speaker 2>He's a baseball player and he has great bat toball skills.

242
00:12:23.639 --> 00:12:27.200
<v Speaker 2>And for all of you that don't love the strikeouts,

243
00:12:27.320 --> 00:12:29.600
<v Speaker 2>he's not that type of player. And you saw him

244
00:12:29.679 --> 00:12:32.600
<v Speaker 2>battle and I love what he told Kirston after the game.

245
00:12:32.960 --> 00:12:35.679
<v Speaker 2>I'm just trying to outcompete that guy on the mound.

246
00:12:36.039 --> 00:12:38.440
<v Speaker 2>When was the last time you heard a Dodger hitter

247
00:12:38.600 --> 00:12:41.759
<v Speaker 2>say that? We hear pitchers say that but I love

248
00:12:41.879 --> 00:12:44.360
<v Speaker 2>hearing that from a hitter, and you hear what Gavin

249
00:12:44.440 --> 00:12:47.519
<v Speaker 2>Lux told us the Dodgers had more of a savage

250
00:12:47.600 --> 00:12:51.159
<v Speaker 2>attitude coming into this series than what they've had recently.

251
00:12:51.320 --> 00:12:53.759
<v Speaker 2>So I love all the things I'm hearing, and I

252
00:12:53.919 --> 00:12:56.559
<v Speaker 2>love that the actions are speaking just as loud as

253
00:12:56.639 --> 00:12:59.440
<v Speaker 2>the words, because that's what you need to beat a

254
00:12:59.519 --> 00:13:03.279
<v Speaker 2>team like the Diamondbacks were very hungry even after being

255
00:13:03.480 --> 00:13:06.639
<v Speaker 2>the National League champions a year ago. Eight six six,

256
00:13:06.840 --> 00:13:10.320
<v Speaker 2>nine seven two five seventy is the phone number. Dodgers

257
00:13:10.360 --> 00:13:13.879
<v Speaker 2>beat the Diamondbacks eight to six. Let's head back downstairs

258
00:13:13.960 --> 00:13:16.919
<v Speaker 2>to the Dodger Clubhouse to hear from tonight starting pitcher

259
00:13:17.360 --> 00:13:18.159
<v Speaker 2>Gavin Stone.

260
00:13:18.799 --> 00:13:20.559
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, I think just being more precise with the off

261
00:13:20.600 --> 00:13:24.840
<v Speaker 9>speed that was really it first, and then left to

262
00:13:24.879 --> 00:13:27.759
<v Speaker 9>change up up to Corbin and then a couple other pitches.

263
00:13:28.600 --> 00:13:31.080
<v Speaker 9>But yeah, just you know, being more precise with the

264
00:13:31.080 --> 00:13:31.480
<v Speaker 9>off speed.

265
00:13:31.559 --> 00:13:33.799
<v Speaker 4>Really what tech is kind of just like your thought

266
00:13:33.879 --> 00:13:35.799
<v Speaker 4>process though, when you are in a situation where you're

267
00:13:35.840 --> 00:13:37.519
<v Speaker 4>kind of like, you know, the hope is to give

268
00:13:37.519 --> 00:13:39.559
<v Speaker 4>the team some length, but obviously things started off a

269
00:13:39.600 --> 00:13:41.960
<v Speaker 4>little bit trickier, and then you would have probably hoped.

270
00:13:42.080 --> 00:13:43.639
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, I mean my job was to go out there

271
00:13:43.679 --> 00:13:46.240
<v Speaker 9>and ate up as many innings as they came, and

272
00:13:46.320 --> 00:13:49.720
<v Speaker 9>then really the thought process every time. You know, we

273
00:13:49.840 --> 00:13:52.320
<v Speaker 9>were in a situation where I could have gone deeper

274
00:13:52.440 --> 00:13:55.320
<v Speaker 9>and probably needed to, but you know, the bullpene was

275
00:13:55.399 --> 00:13:57.480
<v Speaker 9>huge and they picked us up after.

276
00:13:57.399 --> 00:13:59.080
<v Speaker 10>That first I think, though, did you think you were

277
00:13:59.159 --> 00:14:02.679
<v Speaker 10>going to be able to give them what they wanted? Yeah,

278
00:14:02.799 --> 00:14:06.200
<v Speaker 10>I still a relatively low pitch count. They just were

279
00:14:06.240 --> 00:14:10.120
<v Speaker 10>swinging early in so yeah, still still felt good.

280
00:14:10.200 --> 00:14:12.360
<v Speaker 11>So they were saying, he felt like you were just

281
00:14:12.600 --> 00:14:14.000
<v Speaker 11>kind of h beat your tank by the end of

282
00:14:14.039 --> 00:14:17.000
<v Speaker 11>the fifth. It's like that eighty five ninety pitch range

283
00:14:17.080 --> 00:14:19.759
<v Speaker 11>right now. Kind of what your max is or is

284
00:14:19.879 --> 00:14:21.679
<v Speaker 11>part of that. Also, just the intensity of the game

285
00:14:21.720 --> 00:14:23.120
<v Speaker 11>and the intensity of the pitches tonight.

286
00:14:23.720 --> 00:14:23.960
<v Speaker 10>Maybe.

287
00:14:24.120 --> 00:14:26.720
<v Speaker 9>I mean, I don't know, I want to throw one

288
00:14:26.799 --> 00:14:29.919
<v Speaker 9>hundred plus every time I'm out there, so you know,

289
00:14:30.000 --> 00:14:31.600
<v Speaker 9>it's just up to him whether he takes the ball

290
00:14:31.639 --> 00:14:32.080
<v Speaker 9>from me or not.

291
00:14:32.879 --> 00:14:35.039
<v Speaker 4>Would you describe just kind of how they were attacking

292
00:14:35.080 --> 00:14:36.039
<v Speaker 4>you in this outing.

293
00:14:37.720 --> 00:14:39.360
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, like I said, they were, they were swinging a lot,

294
00:14:39.440 --> 00:14:43.240
<v Speaker 9>swinging early, and so you know, recognizing that and then

295
00:14:43.320 --> 00:14:47.080
<v Speaker 9>going through the second third, fourth, fifth. Uh, you know

296
00:14:47.159 --> 00:14:49.320
<v Speaker 9>those had to make a huge adjustment.

297
00:14:50.440 --> 00:14:52.039
<v Speaker 10>What do you make for the first two games?

298
00:14:52.440 --> 00:14:53.000
<v Speaker 4>We're watching?

299
00:14:53.120 --> 00:14:58.559
<v Speaker 9>This good baseball? I mean, yeah, really good, really good baseball.

300
00:14:59.639 --> 00:14:59.960
<v Speaker 3>All right.

301
00:15:00.240 --> 00:15:04.440
<v Speaker 2>Gavin Stone very guarded after games and certainly a very

302
00:15:04.600 --> 00:15:08.879
<v Speaker 2>humble kid that probably want to pitch better in that

303
00:15:09.039 --> 00:15:11.799
<v Speaker 2>first inning, But give him a lot of credit for

304
00:15:11.960 --> 00:15:16.120
<v Speaker 2>not giving up much more after that, retiring the last

305
00:15:16.240 --> 00:15:18.759
<v Speaker 2>eight batters he faced and only gave up one more

306
00:15:18.879 --> 00:15:22.600
<v Speaker 2>run after that four run first inning by the Diamondbacks,

307
00:15:22.639 --> 00:15:25.799
<v Speaker 2>which was aided a little bit by the defense. When

308
00:15:25.879 --> 00:15:28.360
<v Speaker 2>Corby and Carroll hit that inside the park home run,

309
00:15:29.120 --> 00:15:32.399
<v Speaker 2>Mookie Bets and Taoscar Hernandez were nowhere to be found

310
00:15:32.440 --> 00:15:36.000
<v Speaker 2>as Kevin Kiermeier was gambling trying to make the catch

311
00:15:36.480 --> 00:15:39.159
<v Speaker 2>before it hit the wall. I've seen that play a

312
00:15:39.200 --> 00:15:42.440
<v Speaker 2>few different times here, and I've seen runners held to

313
00:15:42.960 --> 00:15:46.799
<v Speaker 2>a double, sometimes a triple because either the right fielder

314
00:15:47.000 --> 00:15:51.240
<v Speaker 2>or the left fielder has got to converge behind the

315
00:15:51.360 --> 00:15:53.840
<v Speaker 2>center fielder when he's going to the wall to be

316
00:15:53.919 --> 00:15:56.919
<v Speaker 2>able to get the rebound. If the center fielder is

317
00:15:57.000 --> 00:16:01.080
<v Speaker 2>going to gamble that much like Kiermeier did, especially with

318
00:16:01.200 --> 00:16:05.360
<v Speaker 2>a speedy Corb and Carrol Taascar Hernandez and Mookie Betts

319
00:16:05.399 --> 00:16:09.759
<v Speaker 2>were kind of spectating on that play, and then taoscar Hernandez,

320
00:16:09.799 --> 00:16:13.600
<v Speaker 2>who made three great catches last night, allowed a sinking

321
00:16:13.720 --> 00:16:15.320
<v Speaker 2>line drive to get behind.

322
00:16:15.080 --> 00:16:16.919
<v Speaker 3>Him to allow two more runs to score.

323
00:16:17.159 --> 00:16:21.200
<v Speaker 2>So Stone did get hit hard, but defense kind of

324
00:16:21.679 --> 00:16:24.279
<v Speaker 2>was a problem in that first inning as well, But

325
00:16:24.399 --> 00:16:27.279
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers were able to regroup and get the win

326
00:16:27.440 --> 00:16:31.639
<v Speaker 2>tonight eight to six over the Diamondbacks. When we continue

327
00:16:31.840 --> 00:16:34.519

00:16:45.159 --> 00:16:47.279
<v Speaker 2>on where he stands as far as the rest of

333
00:16:47.320 --> 00:16:51.000
<v Speaker 2>the regular season and heading into October with him being

334

<v Speaker 3>Otani, Bets and now Freeman.

344
00:17:32.799 --> 00:17:36.000

<v Speaker 2>the eighth inning as in his major league debut, pitched

362
00:18:43.079 --> 00:18:46.359
<v Speaker 2>a scoreless eighth inning and picks up his first major

363
00:18:46.440 --> 00:18:50.599
<v Speaker 2>league win. Ryan Thompson the losing pitcher for Arizona, and

365
00:18:54.720 --> 00:18:57.759
<v Speaker 2>go back out to the phones, Mike and see me Valley.

366
00:18:57.839 --> 00:18:58.839
<v Speaker 2>You're on Dodger Talk.

367
00:18:58.920 --> 00:18:59.319
<v Speaker 3>Hi, Mike.

368
00:19:00.000 --> 00:19:00.720
<v Speaker 12>Hey, what's up, Dave?

369
00:19:00.759 --> 00:19:02.160
<v Speaker 6>How you doing well?

370
00:19:02.240 --> 00:19:05.519
<v Speaker 2>There's fans dancing in the in the aisles over here

371
00:19:05.640 --> 00:19:08.720
<v Speaker 2>for the postgame concert, and they're all Dodger fans.

372
00:19:08.839 --> 00:19:09.039
<v Speaker 3>Mike.

373
00:19:09.720 --> 00:19:12.319
<v Speaker 12>Yes, there, that's how we roll in the az We

374
00:19:12.480 --> 00:19:15.000
<v Speaker 12>take over that stadium every year. I love it.

375
00:19:15.880 --> 00:19:18.079
<v Speaker 3>It was quite an atmosphere here.

376
00:19:18.319 --> 00:19:21.960
<v Speaker 2>This was even louder, and there was more buzz around

377
00:19:22.119 --> 00:19:26.079
<v Speaker 2>tonight's game than I felt in last year's NLDS fifty

378
00:19:26.200 --> 00:19:28.839
<v Speaker 2>thousand plus Here, Mike, where did you watch the game?

379
00:19:28.880 --> 00:19:29.680
<v Speaker 3>Where were you listening?

380
00:19:30.440 --> 00:19:32.519
<v Speaker 12>I was up in Ventura, but I'm from seem Me

381
00:19:32.640 --> 00:19:35.079
<v Speaker 12>and we were watching it up top of Ventura. And

382
00:19:36.759 --> 00:19:39.200
<v Speaker 12>I love, you know, the team and the heart right

383
00:19:39.240 --> 00:19:40.759
<v Speaker 12>now in the fight we have and the bats that

384
00:19:40.839 --> 00:19:44.359
<v Speaker 12>are going on But my question leads into why I

385
00:19:44.480 --> 00:19:47.119
<v Speaker 12>was calling in and how's the pitching gonna play out now?

386
00:19:47.200 --> 00:19:50.559
<v Speaker 12>With the starters, especially with possible September call ups and

387
00:19:51.119 --> 00:19:54.160
<v Speaker 12>people on the IL. Still, what's the starting rotation is

388
00:19:54.200 --> 00:19:54.720
<v Speaker 12>going to look like?

389
00:19:55.319 --> 00:19:58.880
<v Speaker 2>All right, Well, good question, because reinforcements are on their

390
00:19:58.960 --> 00:20:03.359
<v Speaker 2>way in the form of the two top acquisitions this offseason,

391
00:20:03.440 --> 00:20:06.839
<v Speaker 2>and Tyler glass Now and Yoshi Yamamoto. It looks like

392
00:20:06.960 --> 00:20:09.359
<v Speaker 2>both are going to be able to pitch at least

393
00:20:09.480 --> 00:20:12.440
<v Speaker 2>twice before the end of the regular season, Mike, and

394
00:20:12.559 --> 00:20:16.039
<v Speaker 2>that would bode well for glass Now and Yamamoto to

395
00:20:16.119 --> 00:20:19.559
<v Speaker 2>be available for October. They need those guys to make

396
00:20:19.640 --> 00:20:21.880
<v Speaker 2>a run. It would make things a lot easier for

397
00:20:22.039 --> 00:20:22.839
<v Speaker 2>Dave Roberts to.

398
00:20:22.920 --> 00:20:24.799
<v Speaker 6>Navigate, right, I love it.

399
00:20:25.039 --> 00:20:27.240
<v Speaker 12>And then beyond that, where it's going to be our

400
00:20:27.359 --> 00:20:29.119
<v Speaker 12>next two and three starters?

401
00:20:29.160 --> 00:20:34.160
<v Speaker 2>After that, I mean it would be Jack Flarity, Jack Flaherty,

402
00:20:34.319 --> 00:20:37.839
<v Speaker 2>and I would I would venture to say, Gavin Stone Right,

403
00:20:37.920 --> 00:20:41.000
<v Speaker 2>those are your four best starters with Kershaw being on

404
00:20:41.119 --> 00:20:43.640
<v Speaker 2>the IL, and we'll see where that goes with the

405
00:20:43.680 --> 00:20:46.000
<v Speaker 2>bone spur and his big left toe.

406
00:20:46.480 --> 00:20:50.200
<v Speaker 12>Right right, I love it, and hopefully all these injuries

407
00:20:50.519 --> 00:20:52.079
<v Speaker 12>go to bed and we can move on and get

408
00:20:52.119 --> 00:20:54.759
<v Speaker 12>ready for the playoffs and get ready what we do well.

409
00:20:54.799 --> 00:20:57.079
<v Speaker 2>The Dodgers are getting healthy at the right time. Mike,

410
00:20:57.160 --> 00:20:58.160
<v Speaker 2>thanks for the phone.

411
00:20:57.920 --> 00:20:59.000
<v Speaker 3>Call, appreciate it.

412
00:20:59.400 --> 00:21:01.640
<v Speaker 2>And we had a chance to catch up with Tyler

413
00:21:01.720 --> 00:21:03.640
<v Speaker 2>Glass now before today's game.

414
00:21:04.039 --> 00:21:06.720
<v Speaker 3>He threw off a flat round for the second straight.

415
00:21:06.519 --> 00:21:09.000
<v Speaker 2>Day, and after he was done doing that, he gave

416
00:21:09.079 --> 00:21:11.720
<v Speaker 2>us an update on where he's at with his right elbow.

417
00:21:12.200 --> 00:21:13.920
<v Speaker 13>I think, like, if there is any silver lining, I

418
00:21:13.960 --> 00:21:15.599
<v Speaker 13>think taking the time off, like you kind of get

419
00:21:15.640 --> 00:21:17.759
<v Speaker 13>your body like resets back to normal, and then as

420
00:21:17.799 --> 00:21:19.559
<v Speaker 13>you get going and like I'm working those guys in

421
00:21:19.599 --> 00:21:22.119
<v Speaker 13>the weight room and the training stuff like patterning correctly.

422
00:21:22.160 --> 00:21:24.480
<v Speaker 13>I think before that, before I got hurt in a

423
00:21:24.519 --> 00:21:26.279
<v Speaker 13>while there, like I don't think I was mechanically in

424
00:21:26.319 --> 00:21:28.279
<v Speaker 13>a very good spot, Like I wasn't moving how I

425
00:21:28.400 --> 00:21:31.559
<v Speaker 13>used to move. And then now kind of going back

426
00:21:31.640 --> 00:21:33.640
<v Speaker 13>to zero and then ramping back off, I'm like, oh,

427
00:21:33.720 --> 00:21:35.680
<v Speaker 13>that's the feeling I'm trying to feel. And I think

428
00:21:35.720 --> 00:21:37.640
<v Speaker 13>once I iron out a lot of that stuff, a

429
00:21:37.720 --> 00:21:39.960
<v Speaker 13>lot of the other issues kind of go away and

430
00:21:40.000 --> 00:21:42.480
<v Speaker 13>I can get my direction back to home plate. And

431
00:21:42.640 --> 00:21:45.480
<v Speaker 13>I think like the progression becomes like shorter and more efficient.

432
00:21:46.160 --> 00:21:49.079
<v Speaker 2>All right, that's Tyler Glass now on what's going on

433
00:21:49.279 --> 00:21:52.480
<v Speaker 2>while he's been on the il, and he told us

434
00:21:52.599 --> 00:21:55.160
<v Speaker 2>that he's not sure what the road back is going

435
00:21:55.279 --> 00:21:58.079
<v Speaker 2>to be, whether it's going to be rehab games or

436
00:21:58.119 --> 00:22:01.200
<v Speaker 2>maybe just throw the hitters at Dodgers before he dives

437
00:22:01.319 --> 00:22:04.720
<v Speaker 2>back in. But one thing he made very clear is

438
00:22:05.039 --> 00:22:07.359
<v Speaker 2>he is going to be ready for the postseason.

439
00:22:07.920 --> 00:22:09.920
<v Speaker 13>No, I mean, I just I think I'm just more

440
00:22:09.960 --> 00:22:12.240
<v Speaker 13>concerned it's being healthy for the postseason. So any type

441
00:22:12.279 --> 00:22:13.759
<v Speaker 13>of little thing it's just not worth it to you

442
00:22:13.839 --> 00:22:16.160
<v Speaker 13>know what I mean. I think like collectively understanding, like

443
00:22:16.200 --> 00:22:18.279
<v Speaker 13>the postseason is the most important thing. That's why I'm here.

444
00:22:18.400 --> 00:22:21.359
<v Speaker 13>So I think just any type of like like get

445
00:22:21.440 --> 00:22:24.000
<v Speaker 13>back super quick in the regular season just didn't really

446
00:22:24.079 --> 00:22:25.279
<v Speaker 13>make a ton of sense. So I just want to

447
00:22:25.319 --> 00:22:27.839
<v Speaker 13>feel good, have a really good progression, and then just

448
00:22:27.880 --> 00:22:28.839
<v Speaker 13>be ready for postseason.

449
00:22:29.480 --> 00:22:32.759
<v Speaker 2>Well that's easy for him to say, considering that the

450
00:22:32.880 --> 00:22:36.000
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers kind of needed him in this four game series.

451
00:22:36.319 --> 00:22:39.039
<v Speaker 2>It's great to be ready for the postseason, but you

452
00:22:39.200 --> 00:22:41.960
<v Speaker 2>have to get there first, and luckily for Tyler Glass,

453
00:22:42.039 --> 00:22:45.119
<v Speaker 2>now the Dodgers are handling business while he's on the

454
00:22:45.240 --> 00:22:48.519
<v Speaker 2>IL for the second time this season, and I asked

455
00:22:48.599 --> 00:22:51.720
<v Speaker 2>him whether or not this has been frustrating not being

456
00:22:51.799 --> 00:22:54.400
<v Speaker 2>able to be part of this four game series because

457
00:22:54.480 --> 00:22:56.920
<v Speaker 2>before you get to the playoffs, you got to take

458
00:22:56.960 --> 00:22:59.319
<v Speaker 2>care of business in your own division. And it would

459
00:22:59.359 --> 00:23:02.200
<v Speaker 2>be great if the Dodgers would have had Yama, Moto

460
00:23:02.319 --> 00:23:05.559
<v Speaker 2>and glass Now available for this four game series, but

461
00:23:05.680 --> 00:23:06.759
<v Speaker 2>that hasn't happened.

462
00:23:06.799 --> 00:23:09.279
<v Speaker 3>And here's what Glass Now had to say about missing

463
00:23:09.440 --> 00:23:10.119
<v Speaker 3>this series.

464
00:23:10.519 --> 00:23:12.400
<v Speaker 13>Yeah, it sucks for sure. I think to a lot

465
00:23:12.440 --> 00:23:14.640
<v Speaker 13>of it, Like it was always kind of frustrating, like

466
00:23:14.720 --> 00:23:16.119
<v Speaker 13>being at home, but I think series like this it

467
00:23:16.160 --> 00:23:17.680
<v Speaker 13>kind of hits a little harder, just being I was

468
00:23:17.720 --> 00:23:19.640
<v Speaker 13>supposed to come back and throw at the beginning yesterday

469
00:23:19.720 --> 00:23:22.039
<v Speaker 13>and stuff, you know. So it's just like it sucks.

470
00:23:22.759 --> 00:23:24.599
<v Speaker 13>I'm glad we pulled out a win, and I just think,

471
00:23:24.680 --> 00:23:26.960
<v Speaker 13>like with other people dealing with injuries and stuff, it

472
00:23:27.119 --> 00:23:29.839
<v Speaker 13>it sucks. So I think it's just even more important

473
00:23:29.880 --> 00:23:31.880
<v Speaker 13>for me to just try to like keep my head

474
00:23:31.880 --> 00:23:34.400
<v Speaker 13>and focused and just get back and stay healthy.

475
00:23:35.400 --> 00:23:37.680
<v Speaker 2>So what you're trying to say, it sucks, right, Tyler.

476
00:23:37.799 --> 00:23:40.319
<v Speaker 2>I mean you said it like three times right there.

477
00:23:40.519 --> 00:23:44.839
<v Speaker 2>So obviously he's a little frustrated, but hopefully he can

478
00:23:45.000 --> 00:23:48.960
<v Speaker 2>feel right when he comes back and not look back

479
00:23:49.079 --> 00:23:52.279
<v Speaker 2>in October eight six, six, nine, eighty seven, two five

480
00:23:52.440 --> 00:23:55.200
<v Speaker 2>seventy is the phone number. Dodgers have held it down

481
00:23:55.359 --> 00:23:59.960
<v Speaker 2>yet again tonight without Glass, now without Yama Moto. Gavin Stone,

482
00:24:00.200 --> 00:24:03.160
<v Speaker 2>who has made twenty five starts now on the season,

483
00:24:03.640 --> 00:24:07.200
<v Speaker 2>leads the Dodgers and starts innings and wins. Even though

484
00:24:07.319 --> 00:24:10.440
<v Speaker 2>he did not get a decision tonight, he has eleven

485
00:24:10.519 --> 00:24:13.960
<v Speaker 2>wins on the season. I ask again, where would the

486
00:24:14.000 --> 00:24:18.240
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers pitching staff be without the emergence of Gavin Stone

487
00:24:18.279 --> 00:24:21.720
<v Speaker 2>this year, who was not even supposed to make the

488
00:24:21.839 --> 00:24:25.759
<v Speaker 2>opening day roster coming into spring training, but he came

489
00:24:25.880 --> 00:24:30.319
<v Speaker 2>in after a very productive offseason to get bigger, stronger,

490
00:24:30.759 --> 00:24:34.079
<v Speaker 2>and to have more pitches in his repertoire, and he

491
00:24:34.240 --> 00:24:38.359
<v Speaker 2>proved out to be a huge addition to this Dodger rotation.

492
00:24:38.960 --> 00:24:41.519
<v Speaker 2>Let's go back out to the phones, Bob and Malibu.

493
00:24:41.880 --> 00:24:44.279
<v Speaker 2>You're on Dodger Talk after an eight to six win

494
00:24:44.400 --> 00:24:45.440
<v Speaker 2>at Chase Field.

495
00:24:45.240 --> 00:24:49.440
<v Speaker 8>Hi, Bob, David bathse Dodger Bob out here in Malibu, Buddy,

496
00:24:49.440 --> 00:24:50.000
<v Speaker 8>how you doing.

497
00:24:51.160 --> 00:24:53.279
<v Speaker 3>Ah, I'm doing great, Bob. Where'd you watch the game

498
00:24:53.359 --> 00:24:54.480
<v Speaker 3>at Dukes? Where'd you go?

499
00:24:54.880 --> 00:24:56.920
<v Speaker 8>I'll tell you I wish I was a Duke. I

500
00:24:57.000 --> 00:24:58.960
<v Speaker 8>was out of Marmalade to Malibu watching the game. But

501
00:24:59.000 --> 00:25:01.960
<v Speaker 8>I gotta tell you, David, first and foremost, your work

502
00:25:02.039 --> 00:25:05.480
<v Speaker 8>with Cameo is excellent. I received a birthday message from

503
00:25:05.519 --> 00:25:07.960
<v Speaker 8>you back in November. Buddy. That made my day, made

504
00:25:08.039 --> 00:25:10.440
<v Speaker 8>my week, made my year. I'll tell you, man, that

505
00:25:10.599 --> 00:25:12.079
<v Speaker 8>was a special treat. Thank you for that.

506
00:25:12.319 --> 00:25:14.359
<v Speaker 6>Man, I appreciate you are a sick man.

507
00:25:14.519 --> 00:25:16.880
<v Speaker 3>Bob, you're a sick man. If that's what made your day,

508
00:25:17.160 --> 00:25:17.680
<v Speaker 3>I really.

509
00:25:18.039 --> 00:25:20.119
<v Speaker 8>Bring it home for me, baby, Come on, bring it

510
00:25:20.200 --> 00:25:25.279
<v Speaker 8>home days. Listen. Question this series and related to this

511
00:25:25.440 --> 00:25:29.160
<v Speaker 8>series and related to the Diamondbacks in postseason. Obviously, tell

512
00:25:29.240 --> 00:25:32.720
<v Speaker 8>me your thoughts on where a healthy Diamondbacks look with

513
00:25:32.880 --> 00:25:35.720
<v Speaker 8>Christian Walker and Marte back in that lineup compared to

514
00:25:35.799 --> 00:25:36.599
<v Speaker 8>what we're seeing now.

515
00:25:38.160 --> 00:25:41.240
<v Speaker 2>And don't forget about Gabriel Moreno, who is their starting

516
00:25:41.359 --> 00:25:45.279
<v Speaker 2>catcher and since he's been on the IL teams are

517
00:25:45.400 --> 00:25:49.759
<v Speaker 2>running like rabbits on the Diamondbacks catchers and pitchers. So yes,

518
00:25:50.200 --> 00:25:51.960
<v Speaker 2>I think we all have to keep that in mind,

519
00:25:52.039 --> 00:25:56.119
<v Speaker 2>they're missing three big time players Dodger killer, Christian Walker,

520
00:25:56.680 --> 00:26:02.000
<v Speaker 2>MVP candidate to tell Marte and Gabrielle more. But to me, Bob,

521
00:26:03.039 --> 00:26:05.039
<v Speaker 2>when I mentioned earlier, and I'm not sure if you

522
00:26:05.160 --> 00:26:08.680
<v Speaker 2>heard this, if things stay the way they are right now,

523
00:26:08.839 --> 00:26:11.680
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers having the top seed in the National League,

524
00:26:12.000 --> 00:26:16.559
<v Speaker 2>they would play the winner of a Padres Diamondbacks wildcard series.

525
00:26:17.079 --> 00:26:20.440
<v Speaker 2>And for me, I would say the Padres might be

526
00:26:20.519 --> 00:26:23.839
<v Speaker 2>a tougher matchup only for the mere fact is their

527
00:26:23.960 --> 00:26:29.000
<v Speaker 2>bullpen is better than Arizona's. Everything else, Arizona gets the edge,

528
00:26:29.559 --> 00:26:32.599
<v Speaker 2>and I would say the Padres edge out because of

529
00:26:32.720 --> 00:26:33.920
<v Speaker 2>their bullpen.

530
00:26:35.240 --> 00:26:37.440
<v Speaker 8>Makes sense. I hear what you're saying loud and clear,

531
00:26:37.480 --> 00:26:39.640
<v Speaker 8>and I agree with you. I'll follow your lead on

532
00:26:39.720 --> 00:26:40.799
<v Speaker 8>this one as I always do.

533
00:26:40.960 --> 00:26:41.160
<v Speaker 6>Day.

534
00:26:41.519 --> 00:26:44.279
<v Speaker 8>My last part of my question is, obviously, we saw

535
00:26:44.359 --> 00:26:46.680
<v Speaker 8>Will Smith get a little rest. You've seen Freddy get

536
00:26:46.720 --> 00:26:49.039
<v Speaker 8>a couple of days rest. How important? And I heard

537
00:26:49.079 --> 00:26:51.319
<v Speaker 8>you talking to Freddy about it the other day. How

538
00:26:51.440 --> 00:26:53.160
<v Speaker 8>important do you think it is to these guys to

539
00:26:53.240 --> 00:26:55.119
<v Speaker 8>get a couple of days just to catch their breath.

540
00:26:56.480 --> 00:26:59.160
<v Speaker 2>Well, for Freddy especially, Bob, I think it was I

541
00:26:59.200 --> 00:27:01.799
<v Speaker 2>think we all believe that. You know, there's a lot

542
00:27:01.839 --> 00:27:04.680
<v Speaker 2>of attention on his son, Max Freeman in the seven

543
00:27:04.799 --> 00:27:07.920
<v Speaker 2>days that Freddy had to miss because of how serious

544
00:27:08.000 --> 00:27:09.119
<v Speaker 2>the situation was.

545
00:27:09.319 --> 00:27:11.640
<v Speaker 3>But it doesn't just go away, right.

546
00:27:12.039 --> 00:27:14.759
<v Speaker 2>He's still dealing with it, his wife is still dealing

547
00:27:14.839 --> 00:27:17.440
<v Speaker 2>with it, and little Max Freeman is still going through

548
00:27:17.480 --> 00:27:19.119
<v Speaker 2>physical therapy, so that's.

549
00:27:19.000 --> 00:27:23.759
<v Speaker 3>Still part of his daily life. So that takes a

550
00:27:23.839 --> 00:27:24.599
<v Speaker 3>toll on him.

551
00:27:24.839 --> 00:27:28.079
<v Speaker 2>And then Jason Hayward is no longer his teammate, and

552
00:27:28.160 --> 00:27:31.200
<v Speaker 2>then he has a microfracture on his right middle fingers.

553
00:27:31.319 --> 00:27:34.319
<v Speaker 2>So all of those things compounded the fact that he

554
00:27:34.559 --> 00:27:39.000
<v Speaker 2>probably did need three physical days, but just as important

555
00:27:39.400 --> 00:27:41.839
<v Speaker 2>three mental days. It was four with the day off

556
00:27:41.880 --> 00:27:45.240
<v Speaker 2>on Monday, So I think we all take that for granted.

557
00:27:45.319 --> 00:27:46.440
<v Speaker 3>It just doesn't go away.

558
00:27:47.279 --> 00:27:50.599
<v Speaker 8>Well, these guys were called heart all year. Kudos to him.

559
00:27:50.720 --> 00:27:52.960
<v Speaker 8>Put a cake on the candle for our boys. Stone

560
00:27:53.400 --> 00:27:56.000
<v Speaker 8>came through for us man, Dave, What a pleasure always

561
00:27:56.039 --> 00:27:57.960
<v Speaker 8>talking to you, and thanks again for that cameo, Buddy.

562
00:27:58.160 --> 00:28:00.559
<v Speaker 8>I hope I could return that favor to another someday

563
00:28:00.559 --> 00:28:01.720
<v Speaker 8>and send another one for him.

564
00:28:02.559 --> 00:28:04.720
<v Speaker 2>All right, Bob, thanks a lot for the phone call.

565
00:28:04.759 --> 00:28:06.720
<v Speaker 2>We'll see you out there one day at Zooma Beach.

566
00:28:07.240 --> 00:28:10.039
<v Speaker 2>Eight sixty six nine eight seven two five seventy is

567
00:28:10.119 --> 00:28:13.480
<v Speaker 2>the phone number. Dodgers beat the Diamondbacks eight to six

568
00:28:13.599 --> 00:28:17.519
<v Speaker 2>here at Chase Field and are looking to expand their

569
00:28:17.640 --> 00:28:22.480
<v Speaker 2>lead even more tomorrow, when Justin Robleski is expected to

570
00:28:22.599 --> 00:28:25.160
<v Speaker 2>take the mound. The Dodgers will not have to make

571
00:28:25.200 --> 00:28:28.359
<v Speaker 2>a roster move tomorrow to activate Robleski to make the

572
00:28:28.480 --> 00:28:33.480
<v Speaker 2>start because tomorrow is September first, and the rosters are

573
00:28:33.559 --> 00:28:36.960
<v Speaker 2>expanding for every major League team to twenty eight, but

574
00:28:37.119 --> 00:28:39.400
<v Speaker 2>there has been a cap on pitchers. It's only going

575
00:28:39.480 --> 00:28:42.279
<v Speaker 2>to be one pitcher and one position player. And the

576
00:28:42.359 --> 00:28:45.799
<v Speaker 2>position player to me, from what I'm gathering, is going

577
00:28:45.880 --> 00:28:48.960
<v Speaker 2>to be Andy pa Has for the Dodgers. And look,

578
00:28:49.039 --> 00:28:51.640
<v Speaker 2>I know many of you are clamoring for Dalton Rushing.

579
00:28:52.079 --> 00:28:54.640
<v Speaker 2>I would love to see what Dalton Rushing has to offer,

580
00:28:54.839 --> 00:28:57.519
<v Speaker 2>because he is crushing the baseball.

581
00:28:57.119 --> 00:28:58.720
<v Speaker 3>At Oklahoma City as well.

582
00:28:59.319 --> 00:29:02.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm not rule out that fact that he is doing that,

583
00:29:03.000 --> 00:29:06.839
<v Speaker 2>but to start September, it feels like Paez is going

584
00:29:06.920 --> 00:29:10.839
<v Speaker 2>to be that guy. And from what I'm gathering as well,

585
00:29:10.960 --> 00:29:15.559
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers are not ruling out the possibility of Dalton

586
00:29:15.640 --> 00:29:19.279
<v Speaker 2>Rushing being called up sometime in the middle of September

587
00:29:19.839 --> 00:29:22.920
<v Speaker 2>if they feel that there are opportunities for him to

588
00:29:23.079 --> 00:29:26.440
<v Speaker 2>get at bats in left field, maybe I would say

589
00:29:26.480 --> 00:29:29.000
<v Speaker 2>he's not going to catch a game, but if he

590
00:29:29.119 --> 00:29:31.599
<v Speaker 2>does come up, it's going to be as a left

591
00:29:31.640 --> 00:29:35.599
<v Speaker 2>handed hitting, power hitter in the outfield and off the

592
00:29:35.720 --> 00:29:36.839
<v Speaker 2>bench specifically.

593
00:29:37.039 --> 00:29:39.960
<v Speaker 3>So that's the way the Dodgers are looking at it.

594
00:29:40.440 --> 00:29:43.599
<v Speaker 2>If they do in fact call up Dalton Rushing at

595
00:29:43.680 --> 00:29:46.319
<v Speaker 2>some point in time during the month of September, but

596
00:29:46.519 --> 00:29:50.519
<v Speaker 2>Robleski will be up, and all indications are pointing to

597
00:29:50.839 --> 00:29:55.680
<v Speaker 2>Andy Piez being the position player called up tomorrow. Eight six, six,

598
00:29:55.839 --> 00:29:58.440
<v Speaker 2>nine eighty seven, two five seventy is the phone number.

599
00:29:58.680 --> 00:30:01.839
<v Speaker 2>Let's take one more phone call in Rancho kucka manga. Gilbert,

600
00:30:02.079 --> 00:30:03.079
<v Speaker 2>You're on Dodger Talk.

601
00:30:03.160 --> 00:30:04.960
<v Speaker 3>Hi Gilbert, Hi David.

602
00:30:05.000 --> 00:30:05.599
<v Speaker 2>How are you doing.

603
00:30:06.640 --> 00:30:07.680
<v Speaker 3>I'm doing great? What's up?

604
00:30:08.559 --> 00:30:09.359
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, David?

605
00:30:09.640 --> 00:30:12.559
<v Speaker 8>So, what do you think the outcome with Clayton Kershaw?

606
00:30:12.720 --> 00:30:14.599
<v Speaker 8>Is he gonna finish the season or do you think

607
00:30:14.640 --> 00:30:16.960
<v Speaker 8>this is the last we've seen of him and he's

608
00:30:17.079 --> 00:30:18.680
<v Speaker 8>headed forward his retirement now.

609
00:30:19.680 --> 00:30:23.079
<v Speaker 2>No chance, Gilbert. Everybody at every turn wants to say

610
00:30:23.119 --> 00:30:26.119
<v Speaker 2>that's it for Kershaw. This the bone spur in his

611
00:30:26.240 --> 00:30:29.480
<v Speaker 2>big left toe is not ideal, but he's been managing

612
00:30:29.599 --> 00:30:32.599
<v Speaker 2>it on and off for a number of years and

613
00:30:32.960 --> 00:30:35.440
<v Speaker 2>it just popped up maybe two or three starts ago.

614
00:30:35.680 --> 00:30:38.000
<v Speaker 2>But he'll be able to get through this like he

615
00:30:38.119 --> 00:30:40.440
<v Speaker 2>has all these years, Gilbert, And no, it's not the

616
00:30:40.640 --> 00:30:41.440
<v Speaker 2>end for Kershaw.

617
00:30:42.960 --> 00:30:44.880
<v Speaker 6>Okay, I appreciate David. I hope so I'll hope you

618
00:30:44.920 --> 00:30:46.039
<v Speaker 6>see him in the World Series.

619
00:30:46.200 --> 00:30:49.799
<v Speaker 3>See you then, all right, Gilbert, love that, Love that.

620
00:30:50.039 --> 00:30:53.240
<v Speaker 2>And look, I believe this series for the Dodgers is

621
00:30:53.319 --> 00:30:57.079
<v Speaker 2>going to help propel them through at least the first

622
00:30:57.160 --> 00:31:00.599
<v Speaker 2>two rounds of the postseason, because the dog have not

623
00:31:00.880 --> 00:31:04.519
<v Speaker 2>had to play meaningful games like this in this type

624
00:31:04.519 --> 00:31:08.440
<v Speaker 2>of environment against the team that's chasing them this late

625
00:31:08.480 --> 00:31:11.920
<v Speaker 2>in the season since twenty twenty one. And what happened

626
00:31:11.960 --> 00:31:14.680
<v Speaker 2>that year, The Dodgers went all the way to the NLCS,

627
00:31:14.839 --> 00:31:19.640
<v Speaker 2>unfortunately losing to the eventual champion Atlanta Braves. So to me,

628
00:31:20.319 --> 00:31:24.119
<v Speaker 2>this series against this team is a good thing for

629
00:31:24.240 --> 00:31:26.960
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers in the long run. All Right, that'll do

630
00:31:27.039 --> 00:31:29.599
<v Speaker 2>it for us. On Dodger Talk tonight, coming up tomorrow.

631
00:31:29.680 --> 00:31:32.599
<v Speaker 2>Like I mentioned, Justin Robleski will be on the mound

632
00:31:32.640 --> 00:31:36.359
<v Speaker 2>for the Dodgers going up against Brandon Fott Morongo Casino.

633
00:31:36.480 --> 00:31:39.640
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers on Deck begins at noon with first pitch from

634
00:31:39.759 --> 00:31:43.039
<v Speaker 2>Chase Field at one ten with Rick Monday and Tim

635
00:31:43.119 --> 00:31:45.720
<v Speaker 2>Nevertt on the call for Game three of this four

636
00:31:45.839 --> 00:31:47.000
<v Speaker 2>game series between the.

637
00:31:47.079 --> 00:31:48.200
<v Speaker 3>Dodgers and Snakes.

638
00:31:48.519 --> 00:31:51.160
<v Speaker 2>The Dodgers have won the first two games of this series,

639
00:31:51.599 --> 00:31:54.680
<v Speaker 2>last night ten to nine, tonight eight to six. They

640
00:31:54.759 --> 00:31:57.880
<v Speaker 2>have a six game lead over the Diamondbacks a six

641
00:31:58.000 --> 00:32:00.960
<v Speaker 2>game lead over the Padres. So right now they are

642
00:32:01.039 --> 00:32:04.079
<v Speaker 2>in the driver's seat for the NL West and to

643
00:32:04.359 --> 00:32:09.119
<v Speaker 2>reclaim their title or continue their streak of dominance since

644
00:32:09.200 --> 00:32:12.880
<v Speaker 2>twenty thirteen, only missing out on the NL West Crown

645
00:32:13.160 --> 00:32:16.880
