00:00:16.679 --> 00:00:20.679
<v Speaker 2>We are live at Dodgers Stadium after the Padres turn

6
00:00:20.839 --> 00:00:24.960
<v Speaker 2>a game ending triple play to beat the Dodgers tonight

7
00:00:25.039 --> 00:00:29.000
<v Speaker 2>by a final score of four to two. Welcome the

8
00:00:29.039 --> 00:00:33.039
<v Speaker 2>Dodger Talk. David Vasse, live at Dodgers Stadium, taking your

9
00:00:33.079 --> 00:00:37.840
<v Speaker 2>phone calls until eleven thirty tonight. As you can imagine,

10
00:00:37.840 --> 00:00:40.320
<v Speaker 2>there's a lot of reaction to the way this game

11
00:00:40.560 --> 00:00:44.520
<v Speaker 2>ended tonight, as the Padres have cut the Dodgers' lead

12
00:00:44.600 --> 00:00:48.520
<v Speaker 2>to two games in the NL West with five to go,

13
00:00:48.920 --> 00:00:54.479
<v Speaker 2>including two more games in this series, and a shocking

14
00:00:54.560 --> 00:00:58.719
<v Speaker 2>way to end this game, a game ending triple play

15
00:00:59.320 --> 00:01:03.240
<v Speaker 2>Number one. You don't see triple plays that often. The

16
00:01:03.359 --> 00:01:06.439
<v Speaker 2>last time the Dodgers hit into a triple play was

17
00:01:06.519 --> 00:01:10.920
<v Speaker 2>ten years ago. We don't need analytics or percentages to

18
00:01:11.079 --> 00:01:16.120
<v Speaker 2>know that a triple play was highly unlikely in that situation,

19
00:01:16.760 --> 00:01:20.040
<v Speaker 2>but it did happen. And the last time a game

20
00:01:20.319 --> 00:01:24.439
<v Speaker 2>ended in a triple play was June twentieth, twenty twenty

21
00:01:24.480 --> 00:01:27.840
<v Speaker 2>one at Yankee Stadium, where the Yankees turned a game

22
00:01:28.079 --> 00:01:32.239
<v Speaker 2>ending triple play against the Oakland A's. The Dodgers had

23
00:01:32.319 --> 00:01:35.319
<v Speaker 2>momentum on their side in the bottom of the ninth inning,

24
00:01:35.400 --> 00:01:39.000
<v Speaker 2>key K a Hernandez doing key K a Hernandez things

25
00:01:39.040 --> 00:01:42.000
<v Speaker 2>when it matters the most, driving in I run and

26
00:01:42.040 --> 00:01:45.879
<v Speaker 2>putting on a lot of pressure against the Padres and

27
00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:51.079
<v Speaker 2>Robert Suarez, so much pressure that Mike Shilt had Wandy

28
00:01:51.200 --> 00:01:56.560
<v Speaker 2>Peralta warming up the lefty behind Suarez to probably face

29
00:01:56.599 --> 00:02:00.640
<v Speaker 2>Sho hai Otani if he got to the play. He

30
00:02:00.760 --> 00:02:04.719
<v Speaker 2>never got to the plate because Miguel Rojas into hit

31
00:02:04.879 --> 00:02:09.000
<v Speaker 2>into a game ending triple play. You heard Dave robertson

32
00:02:09.039 --> 00:02:12.599
<v Speaker 2>The Clubhouse Show and on sports Net LA say the

33
00:02:12.680 --> 00:02:15.800
<v Speaker 2>reason why he took the bun off was because he

34
00:02:16.039 --> 00:02:20.719
<v Speaker 2>saw the Padres getting ready for the wheel play, which

35
00:02:20.800 --> 00:02:26.680
<v Speaker 2>means both corner infielders are crashing right away and you're

36
00:02:26.719 --> 00:02:31.000
<v Speaker 2>having the shortstop Bogarts go to shortstop or go to

37
00:02:31.080 --> 00:02:35.520
<v Speaker 2>third base to cover third. Well, I just looked at

38
00:02:35.680 --> 00:02:39.120
<v Speaker 2>the play that Rojas was showing bunt on the first

39
00:02:39.159 --> 00:02:43.439
<v Speaker 2>pitch from Suarez. The wheel play was not on when

40
00:02:43.560 --> 00:02:49.719
<v Speaker 2>Rojas showed bunt all of a sudden, Machado was late

41
00:02:49.840 --> 00:02:54.639
<v Speaker 2>reacting at third base and Bogarts was going to cover

42
00:02:54.759 --> 00:02:59.080
<v Speaker 2>the second base back and Donovan Solano also was late

43
00:02:59.199 --> 00:03:03.039
<v Speaker 2>to to come in on that play as well, So

44
00:03:03.599 --> 00:03:08.280
<v Speaker 2>the wheel play was not on when Rojas showed it initially.

45
00:03:08.919 --> 00:03:11.560
<v Speaker 2>And then if you look at the play where he

46
00:03:11.680 --> 00:03:16.840
<v Speaker 2>decided to swing away and the bunt was off, Machado

47
00:03:17.159 --> 00:03:21.560
<v Speaker 2>and Solana were pinching and Bogarts was maybe taking a

48
00:03:21.560 --> 00:03:26.039
<v Speaker 2>couple of steps towards third base, but nobody was crashing.

49
00:03:26.360 --> 00:03:29.560
<v Speaker 2>And even if they were, why are you allowing the

50
00:03:29.599 --> 00:03:33.879
<v Speaker 2>padres to dictate what you should do? And that's find

51
00:03:33.919 --> 00:03:37.719
<v Speaker 2>a way to have Otani and Mookie Betts come to

52
00:03:37.800 --> 00:03:42.360
<v Speaker 2>the plate with runners in scoring position. Miguel Rojas has

53
00:03:42.439 --> 00:03:47.439
<v Speaker 2>done a phenomenal job all season long. Mind you, Miguel

54
00:03:47.560 --> 00:03:53.599
<v Speaker 2>Rojas also leads the Dodgers and executed sacrifice bunts this season.

55
00:03:54.000 --> 00:03:58.039
<v Speaker 2>He's executed two that leads the team. So I know

56
00:03:58.159 --> 00:04:01.280
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers are not really a belief in doing that

57
00:04:01.400 --> 00:04:05.719
<v Speaker 2>and giving up outs. But in that situation, if we're

58
00:04:05.800 --> 00:04:08.840
<v Speaker 2>talking that the Dodgers are playing this game like a

59
00:04:08.879 --> 00:04:13.360
<v Speaker 2>postseason game, and you have Miguel Rojas, the number nine hitter,

60
00:04:13.520 --> 00:04:17.519
<v Speaker 2>at the plate with runners at first and second, nobody out,

61
00:04:17.839 --> 00:04:22.800
<v Speaker 2>with Otani, Betts and Freddie Freeman do to come up

62
00:04:22.879 --> 00:04:26.480
<v Speaker 2>with nobody out, you're telling me in a playoff game,

63
00:04:26.519 --> 00:04:30.639
<v Speaker 2>you're letting Miguel Rojas swing away and allowing the opposing

64
00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:35.120
<v Speaker 2>team to dictate you taking the bunt playoff. I'll just

65
00:04:35.199 --> 00:04:40.160
<v Speaker 2>preface everything right here, right now. I love Dave Roberts.

66
00:04:40.439 --> 00:04:43.680
<v Speaker 2>I believe he has done a really good job this season,

67
00:04:44.319 --> 00:04:48.199
<v Speaker 2>but I disagree with that, and you gotta give Otani

68
00:04:48.279 --> 00:04:50.879
<v Speaker 2>a shot to come to the plate with runners at

69
00:04:50.920 --> 00:04:54.519
<v Speaker 2>second and third. It's not about the triple play, as

70
00:04:54.560 --> 00:04:57.199
<v Speaker 2>he always says, You're always gonna second guess if the

71
00:04:57.279 --> 00:05:00.879
<v Speaker 2>play doesn't go the way you would wanted to or

72
00:05:00.959 --> 00:05:05.000
<v Speaker 2>if it turns out negatively. Nobody thought it would end

73
00:05:05.000 --> 00:05:09.839
<v Speaker 2>in the triple play, but you would expect Rojas to

74
00:05:09.959 --> 00:05:15.600
<v Speaker 2>still attempt to bunt the ball and allow Otani and

75
00:05:15.800 --> 00:05:18.040
<v Speaker 2>Bets to come to the plate. And even if they

76
00:05:18.120 --> 00:05:22.680
<v Speaker 2>decide to intentionally walk Otani, which I'm not sure Mike

77
00:05:22.759 --> 00:05:25.160
<v Speaker 2>Shilt was going to do because he had the lefty

78
00:05:25.240 --> 00:05:28.600
<v Speaker 2>Wandy Perralta warming up, you have a guy that has

79
00:05:28.680 --> 00:05:32.000
<v Speaker 2>hit three point eighty with runners in scoring position in

80
00:05:32.079 --> 00:05:35.560
<v Speaker 2>mookie bets that would be coming up with the bases loaded.

81
00:05:35.959 --> 00:05:40.079
<v Speaker 2>We have seen that movie twice already in Anaheim and

82
00:05:40.240 --> 00:05:45.079
<v Speaker 2>also just recently in Atlanta when Brian Snicker did the

83
00:05:45.120 --> 00:05:48.079
<v Speaker 2>same thing. You got to bunt it to third or

84
00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:51.439
<v Speaker 2>you deaden the bunt to first base. You have options,

85
00:05:51.480 --> 00:05:54.480
<v Speaker 2>and you have a veteran that is very experienced in

86
00:05:54.560 --> 00:05:59.160
<v Speaker 2>handling the bat in those situations. Speaking of Miguel Rojas,

87
00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:01.920
<v Speaker 2>let's go down stairs right now to here from the

88
00:06:01.959 --> 00:06:04.040
<v Speaker 2>Dodger veteran on sports at l A.

89
00:06:04.480 --> 00:06:07.879
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, definitely a tough one for myself, and I feel

90
00:06:07.959 --> 00:06:10.079
<v Speaker 3>like I got an opportunity to get the bone down

91
00:06:10.120 --> 00:06:13.720
<v Speaker 3>early on on the bad but kind of couldn't get

92
00:06:13.720 --> 00:06:16.920
<v Speaker 3>a job done there then just because the way that

93
00:06:16.959 --> 00:06:19.720
<v Speaker 3>they were playing the defense. If I think it makes

94
00:06:19.720 --> 00:06:22.199
<v Speaker 3>sense for me to swim the bat there and have

95
00:06:24.040 --> 00:06:27.519
<v Speaker 3>totally confident that I can get to a fastball, unfortunately

96
00:06:27.560 --> 00:06:30.199
<v Speaker 3>hit on the ground and and it's been tough for

97
00:06:30.199 --> 00:06:32.399
<v Speaker 3>me the last couple of days. I haven't been able

98
00:06:32.439 --> 00:06:35.839
<v Speaker 3>to get a job done. But definitely this one, especially

99
00:06:35.839 --> 00:06:37.439
<v Speaker 3>for me, I think I let that team down in

100
00:06:37.480 --> 00:06:37.800
<v Speaker 3>that one.

101
00:06:38.040 --> 00:06:39.920
<v Speaker 4>So the first time scoring around that was your call

102
00:06:40.040 --> 00:06:41.160
<v Speaker 4>to the first time.

103
00:06:41.600 --> 00:06:43.480
<v Speaker 3>No, it was a bond sign in the first one,

104
00:06:43.480 --> 00:06:45.800
<v Speaker 3>and then they let me hit on the second one when.

105
00:06:45.600 --> 00:06:47.360
<v Speaker 5>You saved the way the defense is playing, Like, what

106
00:06:47.399 --> 00:06:48.839
<v Speaker 5>did you see specifically that?

107
00:06:48.959 --> 00:06:52.279
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, many a there was in and Bogers was chief

108
00:06:52.439 --> 00:06:54.279
<v Speaker 3>into third base. So if I if I make a

109
00:06:54.319 --> 00:06:56.959
<v Speaker 3>harbore like I supposed to the third base, they probably

110
00:06:56.959 --> 00:06:59.639
<v Speaker 3>get that out there. So they let me hit on

111
00:06:59.639 --> 00:07:02.600
<v Speaker 3>the sit right there, and I gotta fastball in. I

112
00:07:02.639 --> 00:07:05.399
<v Speaker 3>handled that pitch well and I just hit it hard

113
00:07:05.439 --> 00:07:09.160
<v Speaker 3>right into the ground, and unfortunately I could I get

114
00:07:09.160 --> 00:07:09.600
<v Speaker 3>the job done.

115
00:07:10.199 --> 00:07:12.199
<v Speaker 6>What did you think of the play that man made

116
00:07:12.319 --> 00:07:12.879
<v Speaker 6>on that ball?

117
00:07:12.959 --> 00:07:15.680
<v Speaker 3>Well, I couldn't see. I haven't I haven't checked. I

118
00:07:15.759 --> 00:07:17.079
<v Speaker 3>just hit the ball and put my head down and

119
00:07:17.120 --> 00:07:19.800
<v Speaker 3>started running because it was a possibility because I hit

120
00:07:19.800 --> 00:07:24.199
<v Speaker 3>it pretty hard. But definitely, Uh, I wasn't trying to

121
00:07:24.240 --> 00:07:26.600
<v Speaker 3>hit a grand ball there. I was trying to hit

122
00:07:26.680 --> 00:07:28.079
<v Speaker 3>something hard, obviously.

123
00:07:28.199 --> 00:07:28.319
<v Speaker 7>Uh.

124
00:07:29.160 --> 00:07:31.600
<v Speaker 3>When when it happens to to be like that, just

125
00:07:31.639 --> 00:07:34.040
<v Speaker 3>a grand ball right at the third basement, it's it's unfortunately,

126
00:07:34.639 --> 00:07:37.680
<v Speaker 3>how frustrating were just all the mischances you guys had tonight,

127
00:07:37.879 --> 00:07:40.000
<v Speaker 3>you know, even before the ninth and yeah, it was

128
00:07:40.079 --> 00:07:42.279
<v Speaker 3>a lot of them. We got a lot of situations

129
00:07:42.319 --> 00:07:44.560
<v Speaker 3>where we got opportunity to score.

130
00:07:44.399 --> 00:07:45.680
<v Speaker 2>Runs early in the game.

131
00:07:45.720 --> 00:07:47.759
<v Speaker 3>And this is kind of one of those games that

132
00:07:48.000 --> 00:07:51.480
<v Speaker 3>kind of teach you that early runs can win the

133
00:07:51.480 --> 00:07:54.560
<v Speaker 3>game too. So we gotta continue to have good at

134
00:07:54.600 --> 00:07:57.199
<v Speaker 3>bats when when Ronnie is scring position and early in

135
00:07:57.199 --> 00:07:59.199
<v Speaker 3>the game, you never know what kind of what run

136
00:07:59.319 --> 00:08:00.240
<v Speaker 3>is gonna win the game for you.

137
00:08:00.560 --> 00:08:02.560
<v Speaker 7>How much pressure do you guys feel, not just to

138
00:08:02.720 --> 00:08:05.279
<v Speaker 7>try to close up the division, but also you know, play.

139
00:08:05.040 --> 00:08:07.839
<v Speaker 8>Well in this kind of series going into the postseason.

140
00:08:08.120 --> 00:08:09.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, this is kind of a mini pos season for us,

141
00:08:09.959 --> 00:08:11.600
<v Speaker 3>you know, like a three games heeries that we need

142
00:08:11.639 --> 00:08:15.639
<v Speaker 3>to win the series, and we got an opportunity tonight. Obviously,

143
00:08:15.800 --> 00:08:18.800
<v Speaker 3>we we didn't get it done. We got to come

144
00:08:18.839 --> 00:08:21.439
<v Speaker 3>back tomorrow, win tomorrow, and win the next day. So

145
00:08:21.839 --> 00:08:24.079
<v Speaker 3>I feel like that's the mentality of everybody in this

146
00:08:24.160 --> 00:08:26.879
<v Speaker 3>clubhouse trying to trying to win this series is going

147
00:08:26.959 --> 00:08:28.759
<v Speaker 3>to be important for us going forward in the playoff.

148
00:08:29.360 --> 00:08:32.360
<v Speaker 2>All Right, there's Miguel Rojas on sports net LA. He

149
00:08:32.519 --> 00:08:35.600
<v Speaker 2>obviously saw the same thing that Dave Roberts was seeing

150
00:08:35.639 --> 00:08:38.200
<v Speaker 2>from the dugout. But when you look at the replay

151
00:08:38.360 --> 00:08:41.840
<v Speaker 2>and we have a camera angle that is high above

152
00:08:42.000 --> 00:08:47.480
<v Speaker 2>home plate, here, Xander Boguards on the game ending triple

153
00:08:47.559 --> 00:08:50.879
<v Speaker 2>play was playing at straight up shortstop. And yes he

154
00:08:51.039 --> 00:08:53.600
<v Speaker 2>was cheating, maybe a step or two once the ball

155
00:08:53.759 --> 00:08:57.120
<v Speaker 2>was put in play, But by no means with Solano

156
00:08:57.399 --> 00:09:01.480
<v Speaker 2>or Machado crashing. Adrian and who played first base for

157
00:09:01.559 --> 00:09:04.360
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers for a number of years, was the best

158
00:09:04.360 --> 00:09:08.639
<v Speaker 2>at crashing. The wheel play was his specialty. That's not

159
00:09:08.919 --> 00:09:12.120
<v Speaker 2>what we were seeing on that play or what it

160
00:09:12.200 --> 00:09:15.279
<v Speaker 2>was appearing to be. That's not the wheel play. We

161
00:09:15.360 --> 00:09:17.720
<v Speaker 2>saw it here with the Dodgers for a long time,

162
00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:22.000
<v Speaker 2>and Adrian Gonzalez was the best. Donovan Solano, by the way,

163
00:09:22.200 --> 00:09:25.000
<v Speaker 2>is not known for his glove. So if you're concerned

164
00:09:25.039 --> 00:09:28.759
<v Speaker 2>about Machado making the play deaden the ball to first base,

165
00:09:28.919 --> 00:09:32.559
<v Speaker 2>make Solano make a play, Make Bogarts and Machado make

166
00:09:32.600 --> 00:09:35.480
<v Speaker 2>a decision right there, who's going to cover third base.

167
00:09:36.519 --> 00:09:39.600
<v Speaker 2>Xander Bogarts, by the way, has not been sure handed

168
00:09:39.639 --> 00:09:42.919
<v Speaker 2>at shortstop, as evident by the throw he made in

169
00:09:43.000 --> 00:09:46.120
<v Speaker 2>the first inning one thing I will say as well.

170
00:09:46.600 --> 00:09:49.600
<v Speaker 2>This game had a couple of opportunities for the Dodgers

171
00:09:49.639 --> 00:09:53.840
<v Speaker 2>to really not give the Padres hope and leave the

172
00:09:53.879 --> 00:09:58.000
<v Speaker 2>door open, especially in the second inning with the bases loaded.

173
00:09:58.080 --> 00:10:00.799
<v Speaker 2>Mookie bed strikes out to end in that inning. I

174
00:10:00.799 --> 00:10:03.799
<v Speaker 2>felt like that was a key inning for the Dodgers

175
00:10:03.840 --> 00:10:06.360
<v Speaker 2>to maybe get a couple of more runs on the

176
00:10:06.360 --> 00:10:10.039
<v Speaker 2>board after Croninworth hits a go ahead two run home run.

177
00:10:10.480 --> 00:10:14.240
<v Speaker 2>Jake Croninworth, by the way, had no RBIs in the

178
00:10:14.279 --> 00:10:17.679
<v Speaker 2>month of September. Tonight he drives in three of the

179
00:10:17.799 --> 00:10:22.080
<v Speaker 2>four Padres runs. Eight six, six, nine, seven, two five

180
00:10:22.200 --> 00:10:25.720
<v Speaker 2>seventy is the phone number. Padres beat the Dodgers four

181
00:10:25.759 --> 00:10:28.759
<v Speaker 2>to two. But I know you're freaking out, and I

182
00:10:28.799 --> 00:10:32.440
<v Speaker 2>know I was getting texts throughout the game. Everybody's freaking

183
00:10:32.519 --> 00:10:35.799
<v Speaker 2>out over a two to one deficit in the fourth inning,

184
00:10:36.279 --> 00:10:40.639
<v Speaker 2>a four to one deficit halfway through the game. Season's over,

185
00:10:40.799 --> 00:10:43.759
<v Speaker 2>Sky's falling in. The Padres are winning the World Series.

186
00:10:44.559 --> 00:10:47.480
<v Speaker 2>Last time I checked, there's two more games to go

187
00:10:47.559 --> 00:10:50.759
<v Speaker 2>in this series. The Dodgers have a two game lead

188
00:10:50.919 --> 00:10:54.720
<v Speaker 2>in this division. These games mean more to the Padres

189
00:10:54.759 --> 00:10:57.720
<v Speaker 2>than they do to the Dodgers. Time is on the

190
00:10:57.759 --> 00:11:01.159
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers side. Are the Dodgers playing their best baseball right now?

191
00:11:01.679 --> 00:11:06.919
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely not. Are the Padres playing their best baseball? Yeah? Probably,

192
00:11:07.080 --> 00:11:11.120
<v Speaker 2>considering they're forty one and seventeen since the All Star break,

193
00:11:11.399 --> 00:11:14.879
<v Speaker 2>which reminds me of the twenty thirteen Dodgers when in

194
00:11:14.960 --> 00:11:18.679
<v Speaker 2>July and August of that year you remember the wild

195
00:11:18.759 --> 00:11:23.360
<v Speaker 2>horse Yasio Puige making his major league debut, Hanley Ramirez

196
00:11:23.399 --> 00:11:27.759
<v Speaker 2>coming off the IL, all that came together for that

197
00:11:28.000 --> 00:11:31.519
<v Speaker 2>team when they went forty two and twelve. The Padres

198
00:11:31.639 --> 00:11:34.480
<v Speaker 2>are forty one and seventeen since the All Star break.

199
00:11:35.039 --> 00:11:38.320
<v Speaker 2>You gotta sometimes tip your cap to the opponent. And

200
00:11:38.440 --> 00:11:42.279
<v Speaker 2>right now the Padres are the best and hottest team

201
00:11:42.360 --> 00:11:46.080
<v Speaker 2>in Major League Baseball. They are a freight train right now,

202
00:11:46.360 --> 00:11:49.480
<v Speaker 2>and you saw how they do it. Nobody's trying to

203
00:11:49.519 --> 00:11:52.759
<v Speaker 2>be a hero tonight. It was Croninworth in Bogarts. It

204
00:11:52.919 --> 00:11:56.600
<v Speaker 2>wasn't Tattoos and Machado. Eight six six nine eight seven

205
00:11:56.679 --> 00:11:59.840
<v Speaker 2>two five seventy is the phone number. Let's go out

206
00:11:59.879 --> 00:12:03.159
<v Speaker 2>to Rick and Glendale. Lead us off on Dodger Talk.

207
00:12:03.200 --> 00:12:05.440
<v Speaker 5>How you doing, Rick, Hey, Dave, how are you doing?

208
00:12:05.480 --> 00:12:08.399
<v Speaker 5>Thanks for having me on. Yeah, I'm I'm very frustrated

209
00:12:08.559 --> 00:12:12.759
<v Speaker 5>because I I heard Roberts uh after game comments and

210
00:12:13.679 --> 00:12:16.919
<v Speaker 5>he doesn't take accountability. You know, say I made a mistake,

211
00:12:16.919 --> 00:12:19.600
<v Speaker 5>I let him hit away. I don't care. It doesn't

212
00:12:19.639 --> 00:12:21.519
<v Speaker 5>matter what the count is. If it's owing two three,

213
00:12:21.559 --> 00:12:23.639
<v Speaker 5>two too two, you bun I don't care if the

214
00:12:23.799 --> 00:12:26.080
<v Speaker 5>fight be from home play the entire info. You bun

215
00:12:26.159 --> 00:12:29.000
<v Speaker 5>him over. The worst second happened is he pops it up,

216
00:12:29.080 --> 00:12:31.440
<v Speaker 5>or they get him out of third, or he moves them,

217
00:12:31.440 --> 00:12:33.320
<v Speaker 5>and the best thing is move him over, they walk

218
00:12:33.399 --> 00:12:35.679
<v Speaker 5>with Tani or like you said, they may be pitched

219
00:12:35.679 --> 00:12:38.279
<v Speaker 5>to him. You still have a chance with Betts, and

220
00:12:38.440 --> 00:12:44.279
<v Speaker 5>you know on Uh Freeman Freeman coming up potentially after.

221
00:12:44.159 --> 00:12:46.440
<v Speaker 2>Bets, even if it's not a triple play, all of

222
00:12:46.519 --> 00:12:48.879
<v Speaker 2>a sudden, the rallies killed because he hit into a

223
00:12:48.919 --> 00:12:51.480
<v Speaker 2>double play. So all of a sudden you go from

224
00:12:51.600 --> 00:12:55.000
<v Speaker 2>runners at first and second nobody out, to a double

225
00:12:55.039 --> 00:12:58.200
<v Speaker 2>play where you know you got maybe a runner at second,

226
00:12:58.240 --> 00:13:00.759
<v Speaker 2>maybe a runner at third, with Otani coming up as

227
00:13:01.279 --> 00:13:04.559
<v Speaker 2>the potential game tying run with two outs. That's a

228
00:13:04.600 --> 00:13:08.120
<v Speaker 2>lot different than second and third nobody out, or second

229
00:13:08.120 --> 00:13:12.480
<v Speaker 2>and third one out with Otani, Betts and Freeman coming up.

230
00:13:13.480 --> 00:13:15.320
<v Speaker 5>And you know Rojas too, he's a veteran and he's

231
00:13:15.360 --> 00:13:17.159
<v Speaker 5>done great all year. I mean, I'm glad we have him,

232
00:13:17.399 --> 00:13:19.440
<v Speaker 5>but he's got a thing too. You know what, They're

233
00:13:19.480 --> 00:13:20.840
<v Speaker 5>letting me hit away, but I'm going to try to

234
00:13:20.840 --> 00:13:21.320
<v Speaker 5>put it down.

235
00:13:21.679 --> 00:13:24.600
<v Speaker 2>Oh, you gotta follow what the manager sending. If if

236
00:13:24.600 --> 00:13:28.399
<v Speaker 2>they did not send a bunt sign in the first pitch,

237
00:13:28.720 --> 00:13:31.159
<v Speaker 2>then all of a sudden, you could say, all right, Rojas,

238
00:13:31.200 --> 00:13:34.039
<v Speaker 2>you take it upon yourself, because some Dodgers have done

239
00:13:34.120 --> 00:13:36.799
<v Speaker 2>that this season. But when the manager is putting on

240
00:13:36.879 --> 00:13:39.759
<v Speaker 2>the bunt play on the first pitch and then all

241
00:13:39.799 --> 00:13:43.399
<v Speaker 2>of a sudden, it's taken off you as the player,

242
00:13:43.480 --> 00:13:46.440
<v Speaker 2>now you're starting to go rogue. And that's not the

243
00:13:46.519 --> 00:13:49.080
<v Speaker 2>right play he did with the manager asked him to,

244
00:13:49.559 --> 00:13:53.879
<v Speaker 2>and that was to swing away, unfortunately, something you rarely see,

245
00:13:54.240 --> 00:13:57.679
<v Speaker 2>a game ending triple play. Thanks for the phone call, Rick,

246
00:13:57.720 --> 00:14:00.639
<v Speaker 2>appreciate it. Let's go out to Raymond who was at

247
00:14:00.679 --> 00:14:04.240
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers Stadium tonight. Raymond, it felt like everybody in the

248
00:14:04.279 --> 00:14:08.240
<v Speaker 2>stadium was a little shocked and in disbelief that the

249
00:14:08.279 --> 00:14:10.120
<v Speaker 2>game ended in a triple play.

250
00:14:11.039 --> 00:14:14.360
<v Speaker 9>Man you're talking. Oh brother, you hit so many good points.

251
00:14:14.840 --> 00:14:18.360
<v Speaker 9>You called it the Roberts. It's all on Roberts. He's

252
00:14:18.360 --> 00:14:19.840
<v Speaker 9>got to be He's got to be.

253
00:14:19.799 --> 00:14:20.559
<v Speaker 5>Held account of bo.

254
00:14:21.159 --> 00:14:24.399
<v Speaker 9>He needs to treat this game like a playoff. Ro

255
00:14:24.799 --> 00:14:28.399
<v Speaker 9>just mentioned that it's like a mini playoffs and for

256
00:14:28.919 --> 00:14:31.240
<v Speaker 9>and I don't agree with you saying that this needs more.

257
00:14:31.559 --> 00:14:34.000
<v Speaker 5>This game in more more to the Potters than the Dodgers.

258
00:14:34.320 --> 00:14:34.879
<v Speaker 5>I didn't say.

259
00:14:35.320 --> 00:14:37.200
<v Speaker 2>Well, I did say that it did mean more to

260
00:14:37.240 --> 00:14:39.879
<v Speaker 2>them because they're the one chasing the Dodgers.

261
00:14:41.039 --> 00:14:43.600
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, but you know what, Harston was on UH with

262
00:14:43.720 --> 00:14:46.519
<v Speaker 9>Fred Rogan on UH on the radio, and he mentioned

263
00:14:46.519 --> 00:14:51.480
<v Speaker 9>about the regular season being a boxing fight and playoffs

264
00:14:51.519 --> 00:14:54.000
<v Speaker 9>being a dog fight. Well, you know what, we got

265
00:14:54.039 --> 00:14:56.519
<v Speaker 9>a little taste of the dog fight today and we lost.

266
00:14:57.039 --> 00:14:57.559
<v Speaker 10>We lost.

267
00:14:57.720 --> 00:14:58.360
<v Speaker 11>I don't want to it.

268
00:14:58.399 --> 00:15:00.840
<v Speaker 2>Of a boxing match. It felt like the Dodgers needed

269
00:15:00.840 --> 00:15:03.919
<v Speaker 2>some smelling salts. Halfway through this game. I'm not sure

270
00:15:04.000 --> 00:15:07.279
<v Speaker 2>they realized it started at seven ten, just like they

271
00:15:07.360 --> 00:15:11.200
<v Speaker 2>weren't sure Sunday's games started at one ten. They had

272
00:15:11.240 --> 00:15:14.759
<v Speaker 2>Michael King on the ropes, they really did, and they'd

273
00:15:14.799 --> 00:15:18.559
<v Speaker 2>failed to take advantage of that. Raymond, but the Dodgers

274
00:15:18.600 --> 00:15:21.559
<v Speaker 2>are still in the driver's seat of this division and

275
00:15:21.639 --> 00:15:25.039
<v Speaker 2>getting hopefully a bye coming into the game tonight, Raymond,

276
00:15:25.320 --> 00:15:28.559
<v Speaker 2>I'm not sure you realize this. The Dodgers have the

277
00:15:28.600 --> 00:15:32.080
<v Speaker 2>best record in baseball. That's how good the Padres are,

278
00:15:32.200 --> 00:15:35.200
<v Speaker 2>That's how good the NL West is this season.

279
00:15:36.919 --> 00:15:40.120
<v Speaker 9>I agree with you, but it's as a Dodger fan

280
00:15:40.159 --> 00:15:42.759
<v Speaker 9>has been coming a little frustrating to lose games like

281
00:15:42.840 --> 00:15:45.159
<v Speaker 9>this on I had you.

282
00:15:45.720 --> 00:15:50.120
<v Speaker 2>I'm with you that it's unfathomable that a game like

283
00:15:50.159 --> 00:15:52.799
<v Speaker 2>tonight would end in a triple play, Raymond, and that's

284
00:15:52.799 --> 00:15:57.039
<v Speaker 2>why we're all in disbelief and very much frustrated. Nobody's

285
00:15:57.080 --> 00:16:00.879
<v Speaker 2>more frustrated than Dave Roberts, Miguel Rojas and the Dodgers.

286
00:16:01.320 --> 00:16:04.639
<v Speaker 2>And by the way, the San Diego Padres, who won

287
00:16:04.720 --> 00:16:07.919
<v Speaker 2>their ninety first game of the season tonight, beating the

288
00:16:07.960 --> 00:16:13.480
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers four to two and officially clinching their postseason birth,

289
00:16:13.679 --> 00:16:17.639
<v Speaker 2>obviously have celebrated in their clubhouse at Dodgers Stadium, and

290
00:16:17.720 --> 00:16:21.679
<v Speaker 2>now the entire team has come out between home plate

291
00:16:21.799 --> 00:16:24.639
<v Speaker 2>and first base to take a team photo with their

292
00:16:24.679 --> 00:16:29.399
<v Speaker 2>goggles on their heads. So they obviously celebrated unsure if

293
00:16:29.399 --> 00:16:32.759
<v Speaker 2>they would be able to celebrate a division championship, because

294
00:16:33.240 --> 00:16:36.600
<v Speaker 2>they know as well as we do this is on

295
00:16:36.720 --> 00:16:40.039
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers side as far as winning an NLS championship,

296
00:16:40.320 --> 00:16:42.720
<v Speaker 2>and that's the reason why the Dodgers did not do

297
00:16:42.840 --> 00:16:46.159
<v Speaker 2>what the Padres are doing right now and celebrating just

298
00:16:46.159 --> 00:16:50.000
<v Speaker 2>a postseason birth. They are in the driver's seat with

299
00:16:50.039 --> 00:16:53.919
<v Speaker 2>all the disappointment and frustration of the way this game

300
00:16:54.039 --> 00:16:56.960
<v Speaker 2>ended tonight. If the Dodgers win the next two games

301
00:16:57.000 --> 00:17:00.519
<v Speaker 2>here at Dodgers Stadium with Jack Flaherty and Walk Bueller

302
00:17:00.600 --> 00:17:04.440
<v Speaker 2>on the mound, the Dodgers are the NLS champions. Triple

303
00:17:04.480 --> 00:17:07.640
<v Speaker 2>play or no triple play? Eight six six nine eight

304
00:17:07.759 --> 00:17:11.039
<v Speaker 2>seven two five seventy is the phone number. Let's go

305
00:17:11.119 --> 00:17:14.000
<v Speaker 2>out to Joe in Monrovia. Yeah, clear that throat, Joe,

306
00:17:14.000 --> 00:17:14.599
<v Speaker 2>you're on the air.

307
00:17:14.640 --> 00:17:18.680
<v Speaker 8>How you doing, Yeah, Hi, Dave? Yeah, Okay. A couple

308
00:17:18.759 --> 00:17:22.200
<v Speaker 8>points one. The Dodgers do not have the best starting pitching.

309
00:17:22.240 --> 00:17:22.799
<v Speaker 11>They got a.

310
00:17:22.759 --> 00:17:27.960
<v Speaker 8>Good bullpen, but I've seen what happened the triple play. Yes,

311
00:17:28.039 --> 00:17:30.559
<v Speaker 8>he should have bunted, but I've seen a lot of

312
00:17:30.559 --> 00:17:33.799
<v Speaker 8>this during the year. Runners at first and third, one

313
00:17:33.880 --> 00:17:37.960
<v Speaker 8>out or no out, runners at first and second pop

314
00:17:38.039 --> 00:17:42.559
<v Speaker 8>up that they need to sacrifice more bunt, get the

315
00:17:42.599 --> 00:17:46.359
<v Speaker 8>ball and play to get the runners over to even play,

316
00:17:46.440 --> 00:17:48.759
<v Speaker 8>you know, to play for a run at one time.

317
00:17:49.000 --> 00:17:51.559
<v Speaker 8>They don't do that, and I don't understand it.

318
00:17:51.960 --> 00:17:53.880
<v Speaker 11>The Earth team they want.

319
00:17:53.920 --> 00:17:56.440
<v Speaker 2>A lot of home runs. That that's not you know,

320
00:17:56.519 --> 00:17:59.240
<v Speaker 2>if you've been watching the Dodgers the last ten years,

321
00:17:59.279 --> 00:18:03.440
<v Speaker 2>that's not theirhilosophy. I will say this, Dave Roberts is

322
00:18:03.960 --> 00:18:06.680
<v Speaker 2>the manager that is more inclined than any other that

323
00:18:06.759 --> 00:18:11.279
<v Speaker 2>I've seen to employ the safety squeeze. So Dave Roberts

324
00:18:12.000 --> 00:18:16.039
<v Speaker 2>has used the bunt play to the Dodgers advantage. He

325
00:18:16.319 --> 00:18:19.359
<v Speaker 2>just saw something that made him hesitate to try to

326
00:18:19.400 --> 00:18:23.319
<v Speaker 2>do it again, and unfortunately it ended in not a

327
00:18:23.359 --> 00:18:26.759
<v Speaker 2>double play, it ended in a game ending triple play.

328
00:18:27.200 --> 00:18:29.079
<v Speaker 2>Thanks for the phone call, Joe, we got a full

329
00:18:29.119 --> 00:18:32.200
<v Speaker 2>boarder calls at eight six six nine, eight seven two

330
00:18:32.279 --> 00:18:35.680
<v Speaker 2>five seventy. After the Padres beat the Dodgers for the

331
00:18:35.799 --> 00:18:40.279
<v Speaker 2>eighth time this season. The Padres are eight and two

332
00:18:40.880 --> 00:18:44.480
<v Speaker 2>against the Dodgers in their first ten meetings this season.

333
00:18:44.880 --> 00:18:49.240
<v Speaker 2>They obviously have won the season series and that's why

334
00:18:49.400 --> 00:18:52.920
<v Speaker 2>a two game lead in reality is only a one

335
00:18:52.960 --> 00:18:57.559
<v Speaker 2>game lead for the Dodgers because San Diego holds the tiebreaker,

336
00:18:58.039 --> 00:19:02.119
<v Speaker 2>And that's why Sundays win over the Rockies. That walk off,

337
00:19:02.240 --> 00:19:05.559
<v Speaker 2>back to back home run win by the Dodgers was

338
00:19:05.680 --> 00:19:09.359
<v Speaker 2>so big in so many different ways. If you lose

339
00:19:09.440 --> 00:19:12.519
<v Speaker 2>that game, you come into this series just two games

340
00:19:12.559 --> 00:19:16.200
<v Speaker 2>ahead of the Padres. You lose this game in this fashion,

341
00:19:16.680 --> 00:19:18.920
<v Speaker 2>all of a sudden, you're only one game up with

342
00:19:19.000 --> 00:19:23.359
<v Speaker 2>the Padres holding the tiebreaker. That's the reason why Sunday's

343
00:19:23.359 --> 00:19:27.200
<v Speaker 2>win was so huge. Eight six six seven two five

344
00:19:27.319 --> 00:19:30.039
<v Speaker 2>seventy is the phone number. All right, let's head down

345
00:19:30.079 --> 00:19:33.720
<v Speaker 2>to San Diego. Charles, you're on Dodger Talk. Are you

346
00:19:33.839 --> 00:19:37.960
<v Speaker 2>a Padres fan or are you a Dodger fan and

347
00:19:38.000 --> 00:19:39.599
<v Speaker 2>a fish out of water down there?

348
00:19:40.440 --> 00:19:41.119
<v Speaker 11>Oh?

349
00:19:41.440 --> 00:19:43.759
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, suld to me by that for a first comment,

350
00:19:43.799 --> 00:19:46.119
<v Speaker 6>But yeah, I'm a fish out of water definitely. So

351
00:19:46.680 --> 00:19:49.079
<v Speaker 6>I get it going to work and everywhere I go.

352
00:19:49.279 --> 00:19:52.799
<v Speaker 6>So yeah, yeah, he hit the points that I wanted

353
00:19:52.839 --> 00:19:56.119
<v Speaker 6>to make, you know, most of them left a little

354
00:19:56.119 --> 00:19:57.359
<v Speaker 6>bit beat on the bone for me.

355
00:19:58.680 --> 00:20:02.160
<v Speaker 2>Look at you izing up professional words right there, Charles.

356
00:20:02.440 --> 00:20:07.000
<v Speaker 5>What do you do for uh? I'm an engineer even

357
00:20:07.079 --> 00:20:07.880
<v Speaker 5>meet on the bone.

358
00:20:07.920 --> 00:20:09.759
<v Speaker 2>That's something Joe Davis would say.

359
00:20:11.279 --> 00:20:17.119
<v Speaker 6>So, yeah, definitely he should have bunded for for a

360
00:20:17.119 --> 00:20:18.839
<v Speaker 6>couple of reasons. You know, I can point out that,

361
00:20:19.200 --> 00:20:21.079
<v Speaker 6>as you said, I can point out several different things

362
00:20:21.079 --> 00:20:23.519
<v Speaker 6>you have the game. I can pick n pick at

363
00:20:23.559 --> 00:20:26.599
<v Speaker 6>and whatnot that the doctors weren't doing or you know,

364
00:20:27.559 --> 00:20:32.000
<v Speaker 6>should have been doing. But the uh, one of the

365
00:20:32.039 --> 00:20:34.240
<v Speaker 6>main reasons was why he should have bunded. Well, you

366
00:20:34.319 --> 00:20:37.759
<v Speaker 6>got the arguably the best hitter in the history of

367
00:20:37.759 --> 00:20:42.240
<v Speaker 6>baseball coming up at next at bat and then fall

368
00:20:42.400 --> 00:20:45.640
<v Speaker 6>up by potential m v P if he didn't get

369
00:20:45.720 --> 00:20:50.039
<v Speaker 6>heard so and if if Roberts was so afraid of

370
00:20:50.119 --> 00:20:55.480
<v Speaker 6>them crashing on both sides from first and third, why

371
00:20:55.519 --> 00:20:59.000
<v Speaker 6>didn't he like sorty'll do like abundant run And it's

372
00:20:59.039 --> 00:21:00.920
<v Speaker 6>basically the whole key is to get the man over,

373
00:21:01.839 --> 00:21:02.079
<v Speaker 6>you know.

374
00:21:02.119 --> 00:21:02.359
<v Speaker 2>For that.

375
00:21:02.440 --> 00:21:05.519
<v Speaker 6>The other reason is you take out the double play.

376
00:21:05.839 --> 00:21:07.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, if you want the wheel plays on the base

377
00:21:07.960 --> 00:21:10.880
<v Speaker 2>runners have to recognize that the runner at first base

378
00:21:10.920 --> 00:21:13.160
<v Speaker 2>has got to get a bigger lead because the first

379
00:21:13.160 --> 00:21:15.559
<v Speaker 2>baseman is playing in front of him, and the runner

380
00:21:15.599 --> 00:21:19.039
<v Speaker 2>at second base has the opportunity of getting a better

381
00:21:19.160 --> 00:21:22.839
<v Speaker 2>secondary jump so there are ways Even if the Padres

382
00:21:22.920 --> 00:21:26.519
<v Speaker 2>were employing the wheel play, which they were not, those

383
00:21:26.559 --> 00:21:30.720
<v Speaker 2>two corner infielders were not crashing, they were pinching. If

384
00:21:30.759 --> 00:21:34.319
<v Speaker 2>that's the case, then the base runners have the opportunity

385
00:21:34.640 --> 00:21:38.200
<v Speaker 2>to get a bigger secondary lead. And the lead runner

386
00:21:38.319 --> 00:21:42.720
<v Speaker 2>at second base was Tommy Edman, who is really, uh

387
00:21:43.039 --> 00:21:46.039
<v Speaker 2>not that slow of a runner. So yeah, that's a

388
00:21:46.039 --> 00:21:48.599
<v Speaker 2>great point. Charles. Thank you for the phone call. Eight

389

<v Speaker 2>When we come back, more of your phone calls. As

392
00:21:57.720 --> 00:22:01.200
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers fall to the Padres tonight four to two

393
00:22:01.759 --> 00:22:05.079

00:22:29.279 --> 00:22:34.160
<v Speaker 2>David Bassey live at Dodgers Stadium. After a game ending

399
00:22:34.319 --> 00:22:37.839
<v Speaker 2>triple play goes in the favor of the San Diego

400
00:22:38.000 --> 00:22:41.640
<v Speaker 2>Padres with a four to two win, Dodger Talk with

401
00:22:41.720 --> 00:22:44.720
<v Speaker 2>you until eleven thirty tonight, We have a full board

402
00:22:44.720 --> 00:22:48.359
<v Speaker 2>of calls. I feel like we can go into Wednesday morning,

403
00:22:48.400 --> 00:22:52.640
<v Speaker 2>but we're not going to do that. Obviously, a disappointing loss.

404
00:22:52.839 --> 00:22:56.039
<v Speaker 2>Obviously the race is on as the Dodger lead is

405
00:22:56.079 --> 00:23:00.960
<v Speaker 2>down to two games, with the Padres hold the tiebreaker,

406
00:23:01.000 --> 00:23:04.480
<v Speaker 2>winning eight of the first ten meetings in this season series.

407
00:23:04.559 --> 00:23:08.599
<v Speaker 2>So definitely this race is not over with, but the

408
00:23:08.640 --> 00:23:13.359
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers are still very much in control. Daniels Jewelers is

414
00:23:30.839 --> 00:23:33.640
<v Speaker 2>that ninth inning before we get back to the phone calls.

415
00:23:33.960 --> 00:23:37.559
<v Speaker 2>Keike A Hernandez got into this game, came up with

416
00:23:37.640 --> 00:23:41.039
<v Speaker 2>another clutch hit in the bottom of the ninth inning

417
00:23:41.160 --> 00:23:44.960
<v Speaker 2>to really put pressure on Robert Suarez. It cut the

418
00:23:45.039 --> 00:23:47.720
<v Speaker 2>lead to four to two and gave the Dodgers the

419
00:23:47.799 --> 00:23:52.160
<v Speaker 2>opportunity and momentum with runners at first and second and

420
00:23:52.240 --> 00:23:56.400
<v Speaker 2>nobody out. If you look at Gavin Lux. Since August

421
00:23:56.519 --> 00:24:00.720
<v Speaker 2>twenty first, he's only hitting one ninety one. It just

422
00:24:00.920 --> 00:24:05.240
<v Speaker 2>feels like Gavin Lux is not only physically spent at

423
00:24:05.279 --> 00:24:09.000
<v Speaker 2>this stage of the season, but mentally spent as well.

424
00:24:09.559 --> 00:24:14.240
<v Speaker 2>There is no player on this team that is built

425
00:24:14.279 --> 00:24:19.279
<v Speaker 2>for October more than KEYK a Hernandez. That was one

426
00:24:19.279 --> 00:24:22.759
<v Speaker 2>of the reasons Brandon Gomes the Dodgers gm cided all

427
00:24:22.799 --> 00:24:26.000
<v Speaker 2>the way back in spring training when games were already

428
00:24:26.039 --> 00:24:29.319
<v Speaker 2>being played. When they made room to sign key K

429
00:24:29.319 --> 00:24:33.680
<v Speaker 2>a Hernandez, it was for October. And ever since Keyk

430
00:24:33.960 --> 00:24:38.319
<v Speaker 2>got his eyes checked and fixed, he has been hitting

431
00:24:38.319 --> 00:24:41.839
<v Speaker 2>the baseball really well. The month of August before Max

432
00:24:41.960 --> 00:24:44.720
<v Speaker 2>Munsey came back, he was one of the best hitters

433
00:24:44.759 --> 00:24:49.079
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers had against righty's and lefties. What I'm suggesting

434
00:24:49.319 --> 00:24:53.720
<v Speaker 2>is Kei K a Hernandez to be the Dodgers every

435
00:24:53.880 --> 00:24:58.640
<v Speaker 2>day second basement in October, maybe as soon as tomorrow,

436
00:24:58.759 --> 00:25:03.240
<v Speaker 2>even against Dylan c I really, you know, Gavin Lux

437
00:25:03.319 --> 00:25:07.559
<v Speaker 2>has had a really good comeback season. It just feels

438
00:25:07.640 --> 00:25:14.079
<v Speaker 2>that physically, mentally, emotionally, he's not where the Dodgers need

439
00:25:14.160 --> 00:25:16.759
<v Speaker 2>him to be, and he has had to fight through

440
00:25:16.799 --> 00:25:20.559
<v Speaker 2>a lot to come back from a very severe right

441
00:25:20.680 --> 00:25:25.119
<v Speaker 2>knee surgery Achille surgery. He had a great month six

442
00:25:25.200 --> 00:25:28.640
<v Speaker 2>week span, but he's hitting one ninety one since August

443
00:25:28.720 --> 00:25:31.519
<v Speaker 2>twenty first, and it feels like he's starting to run

444
00:25:31.559 --> 00:25:34.480
<v Speaker 2>out of gas. And Keik A. Hernandez is on this

445
00:25:34.599 --> 00:25:37.519
<v Speaker 2>team for one reason to do what he did in

446
00:25:37.559 --> 00:25:40.440
<v Speaker 2>the ninth inning. He's a really good player that can

447
00:25:40.480 --> 00:25:44.880
<v Speaker 2>play second, center, short, third. We have seen it. I'm

448
00:25:44.920 --> 00:25:50.359
<v Speaker 2>suggesting Keik Hernandez to be the everyday second baseman moving forward.

449
00:25:50.759 --> 00:25:53.680
<v Speaker 2>Eight six six nine, eight seven two five seventy is

450
00:25:53.720 --> 00:25:56.240
<v Speaker 2>the phone number. Let's go out to Danny, who is

451
00:25:56.240 --> 00:25:59.640
<v Speaker 2>at Dodgers Stadium tonight. Hi, Danny, you're on Dodger.

452
00:25:59.359 --> 00:26:00.839
<v Speaker 5>Talk by Dave.

453
00:26:01.200 --> 00:26:04.240
<v Speaker 4>Thank you for giving me on. I uh, you know,

454
00:26:04.359 --> 00:26:06.359
<v Speaker 4>I didn't know that triple players were real.

455
00:26:07.119 --> 00:26:07.559
<v Speaker 2>Yeah right.

456
00:26:07.680 --> 00:26:08.079
<v Speaker 4>I feel like.

457
00:26:08.119 --> 00:26:12.519
<v Speaker 2>Especially in games and the wheel player was not on.

458
00:26:12.960 --> 00:26:17.720
<v Speaker 2>I've had multiple people that play Major League Baseball currently

459
00:26:17.880 --> 00:26:21.000
<v Speaker 2>text me the wheel play was not on. So that's

460
00:26:21.039 --> 00:26:21.720
<v Speaker 2>a moot point.

461
00:26:22.920 --> 00:26:25.960
<v Speaker 4>I was right behind the Dodger dugout and they were

462
00:26:25.960 --> 00:26:30.119
<v Speaker 4>not crashing at all. I'm not one, you know. I'm

463
00:26:30.119 --> 00:26:33.519
<v Speaker 4>a Dave Roberts supporter and I'm not one to criticize

464
00:26:33.759 --> 00:26:37.519
<v Speaker 4>managerial decisions typically just because there's so many variables that

465
00:26:37.559 --> 00:26:40.079
<v Speaker 4>go into any particular decision, you know, stuff the fans

466
00:26:40.079 --> 00:26:42.200
<v Speaker 4>aren't even where out there that that are weighing on

467
00:26:42.240 --> 00:26:45.480
<v Speaker 4>why the decisions made. But for for Dave to come

468
00:26:45.519 --> 00:26:47.759
<v Speaker 4>on and say, you know, he's gonna listen to what

469
00:26:47.799 --> 00:26:50.440
<v Speaker 4>the game, the game's gonna dictate what to do, I mean,

470
00:26:50.480 --> 00:26:54.799
<v Speaker 4>that's a clear blunt situation as there's been all season

471
00:26:54.880 --> 00:26:56.839
<v Speaker 4>long for the number nine years. Then to come up there,

472
00:26:57.759 --> 00:26:59.519
<v Speaker 4>You've got to stay out of the double play there

473
00:26:59.880 --> 00:27:01.880
<v Speaker 4>because you want you to have the top of the

474
00:27:01.920 --> 00:27:05.160
<v Speaker 4>warder coming up. It's a clear butlen situation regardless of

475
00:27:05.160 --> 00:27:07.559
<v Speaker 4>how the defense is set up. Even if he strikes out,

476
00:27:07.799 --> 00:27:10.279
<v Speaker 4>even if he pomps the butt up, you still have

477
00:27:10.319 --> 00:27:12.359
<v Speaker 4>two runners on in the top of the white lineup

478
00:27:12.359 --> 00:27:14.720
<v Speaker 4>coming up. If they had been able to steal this

479
00:27:14.839 --> 00:27:18.799
<v Speaker 4>game tonight, they would have taken so much momentum away

480
00:27:18.799 --> 00:27:22.359
<v Speaker 4>from the Padres and really blocked up the division tonight.

481
00:27:22.559 --> 00:27:24.799
<v Speaker 4>They had that opportunity, and they just didn't have played

482
00:27:24.799 --> 00:27:27.359
<v Speaker 4>with life all game long, all game while they weren't

483
00:27:27.359 --> 00:27:29.519
<v Speaker 4>played with life until that ninth Diddy and for that

484
00:27:29.559 --> 00:27:31.319
<v Speaker 4>decision to be made to take the fun off. But

485
00:27:31.599 --> 00:27:33.599
<v Speaker 4>I don't understand it at all, Dame. I don't understand

486
00:27:33.599 --> 00:27:34.279
<v Speaker 4>how you don't bunt there.

487
00:27:35.119 --> 00:27:37.359
<v Speaker 2>All right, Danny, thank you for the phone call. Here's

488
00:27:37.400 --> 00:27:42.720
<v Speaker 2>another idea. If that's a bunt play and you're worried

489
00:27:42.759 --> 00:27:45.920
<v Speaker 2>about Machado making the plane, you have a right handed

490
00:27:46.000 --> 00:27:49.960
<v Speaker 2>hitter at the plate, Kevin Kiermeier. I mean, he's the

491
00:27:50.000 --> 00:27:52.799
<v Speaker 2>guy that can bunt, but Miguel Rojas, as a right

492
00:27:52.880 --> 00:27:56.680
<v Speaker 2>handed hitter, has a good opportunity to deaden the bunt

493
00:27:56.720 --> 00:28:00.599
<v Speaker 2>to first base, where you're making a subpar defense player

494
00:28:00.640 --> 00:28:04.000
<v Speaker 2>in Donovan Solano at this stage of his career, to

495
00:28:04.039 --> 00:28:08.079
<v Speaker 2>make a play for you want to be the aggressor

496
00:28:08.200 --> 00:28:11.720
<v Speaker 2>make the opponent react to you. You don't want to

497
00:28:11.759 --> 00:28:15.359
<v Speaker 2>be on your heels and allow that dugout to dictate

498
00:28:15.400 --> 00:28:19.079
<v Speaker 2>what you're going to do. And that's apparently what happened tonight.

499
00:28:19.519 --> 00:28:22.200
<v Speaker 2>Eight six six nine eighty seven two five seventy is

500
00:28:22.200 --> 00:28:26.160
<v Speaker 2>the phone number outside of the ninth inning. There are

501
00:28:26.279 --> 00:28:30.480
<v Speaker 2>other reasons why the Dodgers lost this game. They had

502
00:28:30.559 --> 00:28:34.400
<v Speaker 2>opportunities with runners in scoring position. They were two for ten.

503
00:28:34.759 --> 00:28:39.160
<v Speaker 2>I mentioned Mookie Betts, who has been outstanding and in baseball,

504
00:28:39.200 --> 00:28:41.880
<v Speaker 2>you're not going to deliver every time. I understand that,

505
00:28:42.240 --> 00:28:44.799
<v Speaker 2>but there was a key play bases loaded two out

506
00:28:44.920 --> 00:28:48.480
<v Speaker 2>after Otani walks, Mookie Bets strikes out to end that

507
00:28:48.559 --> 00:28:51.920
<v Speaker 2>inning with Michael King on the ropes. Another layer to

508
00:28:51.960 --> 00:28:55.799
<v Speaker 2>this is landon Nack the biggest start of his life tonight.

509
00:28:56.279 --> 00:28:59.519
<v Speaker 2>He was holding the Padres at bay. Obviously made a

510
00:28:59.519 --> 00:29:02.640
<v Speaker 2>mistake pitch to Jake Crouninworth for a two out, two

511
00:29:02.720 --> 00:29:05.559
<v Speaker 2>run home run in the second inning. You can live

512
00:29:05.599 --> 00:29:09.440
<v Speaker 2>with that. He threw thirty nine pitches through the first

513
00:29:09.519 --> 00:29:13.319
<v Speaker 2>three innings of tonight's game. He threw thirty nine pitches

514
00:29:13.400 --> 00:29:16.160
<v Speaker 2>in the fourth inning and all of a sudden. Now,

515
00:29:16.359 --> 00:29:19.960
<v Speaker 2>as I mention all day long and on Sunday, the

516
00:29:20.079 --> 00:29:22.880
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers are only going to be as good as their

517
00:29:22.960 --> 00:29:27.440
<v Speaker 2>starting pitching in this series. Well, for the eighth time

518
00:29:27.960 --> 00:29:33.240
<v Speaker 2>in their last thirteen games, a Dodgers starting pitcher only

519
00:29:33.319 --> 00:29:38.799
<v Speaker 2>went four innings or less. That is not sustainable, especially

520
00:29:38.839 --> 00:29:42.319
<v Speaker 2>against a good team like the Padres. That is just

521
00:29:42.440 --> 00:29:45.880
<v Speaker 2>not going to work. And that's why I'm confident the

522
00:29:45.960 --> 00:29:49.000
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers will have an opportunity to win each of the

523
00:29:49.039 --> 00:29:52.440
<v Speaker 2>next two games. I do believe in Walker Buehler. I

524
00:29:52.480 --> 00:29:55.640
<v Speaker 2>do believe in Jack Flaherty. I do believe both those

525
00:29:55.680 --> 00:29:58.839
<v Speaker 2>guys will keep the Dodgers in the game at least

526
00:29:58.880 --> 00:30:02.119
<v Speaker 2>through five innings. Eight six, six, nine, eight seven two

527
00:30:02.160 --> 00:30:05.200
<v Speaker 2>five seventy is the phone number. Dodgers fall to the

528
00:30:05.240 --> 00:30:09.400
<v Speaker 2>Padres tonight four to two. The Padres celebration team Photo

529
00:30:09.759 --> 00:30:13.559
<v Speaker 2>has concluded they've gone back into the dugout after securing

530
00:30:13.839 --> 00:30:17.119
<v Speaker 2>a postseason berth. With the win tonight, let's go out

531
00:30:17.160 --> 00:30:20.480
<v Speaker 2>to Newport Beach. Ken, You're on Dodger Talk Live from

532
00:30:20.599 --> 00:30:21.519
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers Stadium.

533
00:30:21.759 --> 00:30:24.079
<v Speaker 7>Hi Ken, Hi David.

534
00:30:24.799 --> 00:30:26.920
<v Speaker 11>I'm still trying to figure out what I just saw.

535
00:30:27.960 --> 00:30:30.359
<v Speaker 2>I don't believe what I just saw.

536
00:30:32.559 --> 00:30:36.960
<v Speaker 11>The month of September. San Diego is fourteen and five.

537
00:30:37.000 --> 00:30:41.279
<v Speaker 11>The Dodgers are now eleven and nine. And what I

538
00:30:41.319 --> 00:30:43.319
<v Speaker 11>felt like I was seeing here was the last two

539
00:30:43.400 --> 00:30:46.720
<v Speaker 11>years of playoffs where you got nothing from Mooki and

540
00:30:46.799 --> 00:30:49.759
<v Speaker 11>Freeman whirl for eight and if you remember, Moki had

541
00:30:50.079 --> 00:30:53.319
<v Speaker 11>sixty in those two years, and it looked like one

542
00:30:53.359 --> 00:30:57.880
<v Speaker 11>team was playing the butts off, diving for balls, getting

543
00:30:57.920 --> 00:31:01.519
<v Speaker 11>extra bases. The other team I'm watching Mookie get picked

544
00:31:01.519 --> 00:31:04.039
<v Speaker 11>off a third base, which made no sense, and I'm

545
00:31:04.079 --> 00:31:06.759
<v Speaker 11>watching a ball go to right field and MOOKI never

546
00:31:06.799 --> 00:31:09.200
<v Speaker 11>even took a step, he just let it go. He

547
00:31:09.279 --> 00:31:10.960
<v Speaker 11>missed hall.

548
00:31:11.319 --> 00:31:14.480
<v Speaker 2>He misjudged that ball. You're right, And yeah, there's no

549
00:31:14.599 --> 00:31:17.720
<v Speaker 2>excuse to being thrown out at third base on that

550
00:31:17.759 --> 00:31:20.480
<v Speaker 2>plane the first inning. So yeah, you're right. That was

551
00:31:21.160 --> 00:31:23.480
<v Speaker 2>It wasn't a great game for Mookie Betts, but I

552
00:31:23.519 --> 00:31:26.119
<v Speaker 2>still like the Dodgers' chances if he has a chance

553
00:31:26.160 --> 00:31:28.759
<v Speaker 2>to come to the plate in the ninth inning. You're right,

554
00:31:28.839 --> 00:31:31.400
<v Speaker 2>And the Dodgers didn't just lose this game in the

555
00:31:31.480 --> 00:31:34.599
<v Speaker 2>ninth inning. That was my point. Ken. It's very easy

556
00:31:34.640 --> 00:31:37.440
<v Speaker 2>to point the finger and say a triple play, but

557
00:31:37.680 --> 00:31:41.119
<v Speaker 2>those plays come back to haunt you when you're playing

558
00:31:41.200 --> 00:31:43.839
<v Speaker 2>the hottest team and best team in baseball right now.

559
00:31:44.359 --> 00:31:46.759
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, and by the way, one hundred percent agree with you.

560
00:31:47.279 --> 00:31:47.559
<v Speaker 7>Lux.

561
00:31:47.640 --> 00:31:49.559
<v Speaker 11>By the way, in the last eight games is hitting

562
00:31:49.640 --> 00:31:53.319
<v Speaker 11>one to seventeen and he's made five errors in the

563
00:31:53.359 --> 00:31:57.359
<v Speaker 11>last ten games. He needs to sit, get Hernandez out there,

564
00:31:57.680 --> 00:31:59.799
<v Speaker 11>and we've got to get this thing going, because you

565
00:31:59.880 --> 00:32:03.559
<v Speaker 11>know what, this is getting scary. It's really one game

566
00:32:03.599 --> 00:32:07.200
<v Speaker 11>between these two teams, and San diegoes, like you said,

567
00:32:07.240 --> 00:32:08.960
<v Speaker 11>the hottest team in the major leagues.

568
00:32:09.720 --> 00:32:12.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and if you're counting for the Diamondbacks to beat them,

569
00:32:12.559 --> 00:32:15.519
<v Speaker 2>they just lost to the Giants tonight eleven to nothing.

570
00:32:15.960 --> 00:32:19.240
<v Speaker 2>The Diamondbacks are in their free fall, and the Padres

571
00:32:19.240 --> 00:32:22.799
<v Speaker 2>can beat anybody, as was evident tonight. Let's take one

572
00:32:22.799 --> 00:32:25.920
<v Speaker 2>more phone call before we check in with Jose Mota, Hector,

573
00:32:25.960 --> 00:32:29.000
<v Speaker 2>and La Puente. Thanks for being patient. How you doing, Hector?

574
00:32:29.880 --> 00:32:33.480
<v Speaker 12>Oh say it takes Thanks for taking my call, man, Yeah,

575
00:32:33.759 --> 00:32:36.079
<v Speaker 12>I hear everybody. The last two callers really nailed them.

576
00:32:36.079 --> 00:32:36.279
<v Speaker 11>Man.

577
00:32:37.440 --> 00:32:39.720
<v Speaker 12>You know, the Dodgers started stuff in the foot. You know,

578
00:32:39.759 --> 00:32:42.599
<v Speaker 12>they weren't hitting all gaylong, you know, and they depend

579
00:32:42.680 --> 00:32:44.559
<v Speaker 12>on that ninth day they come back. I mean it

580
00:32:44.680 --> 00:32:47.799
<v Speaker 12>was exciting, but Dell Machado in the positive of hell

581
00:32:47.839 --> 00:32:50.079
<v Speaker 12>of a play. But I hate to see them celebrating

582
00:32:50.119 --> 00:32:52.759
<v Speaker 12>our field. I hate to see them they're taking pictures

583
00:32:52.759 --> 00:32:54.839
<v Speaker 12>behind home play like you mentioned. I didn't see that one,

584
00:32:54.880 --> 00:32:56.160
<v Speaker 12>but you said it.

585
00:32:56.240 --> 00:32:59.599
<v Speaker 2>You called I've got too many teams celebrate here at

586
00:32:59.599 --> 00:33:03.839
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers Stadium. Recently, Hector and they were celebrating a postseason birth,

587
00:33:04.319 --> 00:33:07.039
<v Speaker 2>most wins they've had since ninety eight with the Padres,

588
00:33:07.119 --> 00:33:11.599
<v Speaker 2>and hopefully that's the last celebration they will have. Thanks

589
00:33:11.599 --> 00:33:14.240
<v Speaker 2>for the phone call, appreciated, Hector. All right, let's get

590
00:33:14.279 --> 00:33:15.920
<v Speaker 2>into Jose Mota.

591
00:33:16.920 --> 00:33:21.559
<v Speaker 1>It's tough to go around the horn with Jose Mota.

592
00:33:21.599 --> 00:33:24.039
<v Speaker 2>We should change the name of this segment to the

593
00:33:24.160 --> 00:33:28.079
<v Speaker 2>mind of Mota. Jose Mota, we want to know what's

594
00:33:28.119 --> 00:33:31.960
<v Speaker 2>on your mind. Obviously, that ninth inning, game ending triple

595
00:33:32.000 --> 00:33:35.559
<v Speaker 2>play not ideal. What did you see in that sequence

596
00:33:35.599 --> 00:33:38.640
<v Speaker 2>of events with the bunt being on and then the

597
00:33:38.680 --> 00:33:39.599
<v Speaker 2>bunt being off.

598
00:33:41.440 --> 00:33:46.599
<v Speaker 7>What I saw was the fact that in that case,

599
00:33:47.640 --> 00:33:50.079
<v Speaker 7>I am not looking for Miguel Rojas to be my hero.

600
00:33:51.000 --> 00:33:53.680
<v Speaker 7>He needs to put the butt down and then I

601
00:33:53.759 --> 00:33:56.000
<v Speaker 7>want the guys behind him to take care of business.

602
00:33:56.440 --> 00:33:59.599
<v Speaker 7>That's what I saw. If I see if he shows

603
00:33:59.640 --> 00:34:03.759
<v Speaker 7>my okay and and he doesn't bun like the first pitch, right,

604
00:34:04.119 --> 00:34:05.720
<v Speaker 7>I want to read with the defense do it. It

605
00:34:05.799 --> 00:34:08.719
<v Speaker 7>was not clear that they were crashing. Now say that

606
00:34:08.719 --> 00:34:11.320
<v Speaker 7>they're crashing right the wheel plays on. That means I

607
00:34:11.360 --> 00:34:14.519
<v Speaker 7>have to abandon second base of the shortstop and give

608
00:34:14.599 --> 00:34:17.079
<v Speaker 7>that guy at second base as much lead as possible.

609
00:34:17.159 --> 00:34:19.559
<v Speaker 7>I vantage him second base was going to crash you

610
00:34:19.559 --> 00:34:21.199
<v Speaker 7>because he has to be at first base because he's

611
00:34:21.159 --> 00:34:24.239
<v Speaker 7>abandoning the position. So in that case, if you buy

612
00:34:24.280 --> 00:34:26.719
<v Speaker 7>it too hard and machiadle field it and throws the

613
00:34:26.719 --> 00:34:30.239
<v Speaker 7>third base at the very worst, yeah, first and second

614
00:34:30.400 --> 00:34:34.639
<v Speaker 7>now for Otani and Mookie bets right. So it has

615
00:34:34.679 --> 00:34:36.800
<v Speaker 7>to be so clear. You know, it's like the old

616
00:34:37.039 --> 00:34:38.159
<v Speaker 7>they call a slash play.

617
00:34:38.320 --> 00:34:39.119
<v Speaker 9>Uh uh.

618
00:34:39.440 --> 00:34:42.039
<v Speaker 7>Picture member of the pictures were hitting like if he

619
00:34:42.159 --> 00:34:45.639
<v Speaker 7>show show but early if they crashed or Herschels there

620
00:34:45.639 --> 00:34:49.760
<v Speaker 7>was a best at that. He was the best at that,

621
00:34:49.920 --> 00:34:52.519
<v Speaker 7>but he understood he hits it hit them on the ground.

622
00:34:52.760 --> 00:34:54.639
<v Speaker 7>Now in this case, Dave, I'll go back to my

623
00:34:54.679 --> 00:34:58.559
<v Speaker 7>original stop. I want Miguel Rojas to bun the ball,

624
00:34:58.920 --> 00:35:00.599
<v Speaker 7>and I want him to do it ear and it

625
00:35:00.599 --> 00:35:04.400
<v Speaker 7>doesn't matter when mar Chad's playing or where Solado's playing,

626
00:35:05.000 --> 00:35:07.920
<v Speaker 7>and you have to bunt the baseball and if they

627
00:35:07.960 --> 00:35:10.840
<v Speaker 7>get one out. There's another thing that's lost in baseball,

628
00:35:10.840 --> 00:35:13.719
<v Speaker 7>and I'll explain it real quick because of these sliding

629
00:35:13.800 --> 00:35:16.119
<v Speaker 7>rules where he cannot break a double player where he

630
00:35:16.239 --> 00:35:19.639
<v Speaker 7>used to well, it used to be that manager will

631
00:35:19.679 --> 00:35:22.800
<v Speaker 7>tell you, hey, you take a big leader second base.

632
00:35:23.320 --> 00:35:25.440
<v Speaker 7>I'm still gonna bunt, and when you get to third base,

633
00:35:25.480 --> 00:35:28.719
<v Speaker 7>you gotta break up that double play. In other words,

634
00:35:28.719 --> 00:35:31.039
<v Speaker 7>youre going to crash into that short stop and take

635
00:35:31.039 --> 00:35:34.280
<v Speaker 7>his legs out in other words, so there's no double play.

636
00:35:34.840 --> 00:35:37.760
<v Speaker 7>You can't do that anymore. But still the runner at

637
00:35:37.800 --> 00:35:40.000
<v Speaker 7>second base has a big advantage in getting there and

638
00:35:40.039 --> 00:35:43.280
<v Speaker 7>being at least a distraction in modern day baseball, but

639
00:35:43.960 --> 00:35:46.519
<v Speaker 7>this is a playoff game, and in a playoff game,

640
00:35:46.920 --> 00:35:49.119
<v Speaker 7>Miguerre Rojas has to bunt the ball.

641
00:35:50.119 --> 00:35:52.840
<v Speaker 2>What did you see on the first pitch where he

642
00:35:52.960 --> 00:35:55.800
<v Speaker 2>pulled the bat back? Was that a bad pitch to

643
00:35:55.920 --> 00:35:59.199
<v Speaker 2>try to execute a bunt? Obviously he didn't feel he

644
00:35:59.199 --> 00:36:03.360
<v Speaker 2>could handle it. Seven ninety eight down and in on

645
00:36:03.440 --> 00:36:03.880
<v Speaker 2>the zone.

646
00:36:05.519 --> 00:36:07.360
<v Speaker 7>It's actually would have been a very good pitch and

647
00:36:07.400 --> 00:36:09.119
<v Speaker 7>bun down the third baseline. Because when you want to

648
00:36:09.159 --> 00:36:10.800
<v Speaker 7>do there is take the third basement out of the

649
00:36:10.840 --> 00:36:13.559
<v Speaker 7>play if you have to. Because on the first time,

650
00:36:13.679 --> 00:36:16.800
<v Speaker 7>on the first try day, all they're doing is you

651
00:36:16.840 --> 00:36:18.840
<v Speaker 7>know we're gonna be In fact, my Chuttel was even

652
00:36:18.840 --> 00:36:21.440
<v Speaker 7>with the bag and Solona was in more and they're

653
00:36:21.440 --> 00:36:22.960
<v Speaker 7>trying to say, well, is he gonna do it or not.

654
00:36:23.079 --> 00:36:25.559
<v Speaker 7>Let's see if they really hadn't wanted to crash, that

655
00:36:25.599 --> 00:36:28.840
<v Speaker 7>would have done it immediately to say, hey, you're gonna

656
00:36:28.840 --> 00:36:32.079
<v Speaker 7>have to beat us this way right now. So and

657
00:36:32.119 --> 00:36:36.440
<v Speaker 7>then with ballgarts, if there's a wheel play on, he's

658
00:36:36.480 --> 00:36:38.840
<v Speaker 7>actually not going to start running towards third base. He's

659
00:36:38.840 --> 00:36:42.159
<v Speaker 7>going to start in that hole and then take three

660
00:36:42.280 --> 00:36:44.639
<v Speaker 7>or four steps, and he's a third base So what

661
00:36:44.719 --> 00:36:47.559
<v Speaker 7>I saw was in decision in the part of Rojas

662
00:36:47.880 --> 00:36:49.960
<v Speaker 7>and not getting the bat out early, because you do

663
00:36:50.000 --> 00:36:52.360
<v Speaker 7>it is somebody throwing down art. You want to get

664
00:36:52.360 --> 00:36:55.039
<v Speaker 7>your bat out as soon as possible and pull back

665
00:36:55.159 --> 00:36:56.960
<v Speaker 7>if it's a ball, pull back. But actually it was

666
00:36:57.880 --> 00:36:59.320
<v Speaker 7>a pitch him which you could have handled.

667
00:36:59.559 --> 00:37:03.159
<v Speaker 2>And on the line, Jose mode is joining us. After

668
00:37:03.239 --> 00:37:06.239
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers fall to the Padres tonight four to two,

669
00:37:06.760 --> 00:37:10.960
<v Speaker 2>obviously everybody will zero in on that ninth inning. But Jose,

670
00:37:11.840 --> 00:37:14.440
<v Speaker 2>did you feel like that second inning was a golden

671
00:37:14.519 --> 00:37:18.079
<v Speaker 2>opportunity with Michael King on the ropes? And also in

672
00:37:18.159 --> 00:37:20.559
<v Speaker 2>that first inning when Mookie Betts was thrown out to

673
00:37:20.760 --> 00:37:23.400
<v Speaker 2>end the first inning. I mean that was not phive

674
00:37:23.480 --> 00:37:24.559
<v Speaker 2>Beta Kappa either.

675
00:37:25.760 --> 00:37:29.000
<v Speaker 7>First inning. It's a design play right. Dodgers have been

676
00:37:29.079 --> 00:37:31.000
<v Speaker 7>so good with this play they they stole a couple

677
00:37:31.039 --> 00:37:33.800
<v Speaker 7>of runs this season. First and third, two outs. You

678
00:37:33.880 --> 00:37:35.960
<v Speaker 7>kill a guy at first base, Hey, you're gonna go,

679
00:37:36.159 --> 00:37:38.960
<v Speaker 7>but you cannot get tagged. So what that means is

680
00:37:39.239 --> 00:37:42.480
<v Speaker 7>if they throw through runner of third base, you're going

681
00:37:42.559 --> 00:37:44.960
<v Speaker 7>with a throw from the casher and it doesn't matter.

682
00:37:45.199 --> 00:37:47.400
<v Speaker 7>Make sure you know where your thirst basement is, but

683
00:37:47.559 --> 00:37:50.679
<v Speaker 7>you're going with theo you cannot read. How to play

684
00:37:50.719 --> 00:37:53.199
<v Speaker 7>develops because we're gonna make that guy stop it to

685
00:37:53.239 --> 00:37:55.960
<v Speaker 7>the first and second on purpose because which one is

686
00:37:55.960 --> 00:37:59.679
<v Speaker 7>still run with you and the guy second base means nothing.

687
00:37:59.719 --> 00:38:00.639
<v Speaker 5>It's you that matters.

688
00:38:00.679 --> 00:38:03.280
<v Speaker 7>Mookie bets and I get a good read. And once

689
00:38:03.360 --> 00:38:06.519
<v Speaker 7>you start out at third base like that, it never

690
00:38:06.800 --> 00:38:09.480
<v Speaker 7>ends well when you're not decisive on what to do

691
00:38:09.920 --> 00:38:11.679
<v Speaker 7>right from the get go. So it's one of those

692
00:38:11.679 --> 00:38:14.159
<v Speaker 7>players where the tur coach goes, listen, he's gonna go,

693
00:38:14.159 --> 00:38:15.679
<v Speaker 7>and he's gonna stop. But if you see a throw

694
00:38:15.760 --> 00:38:18.320
<v Speaker 7>go through, you go right away. And if they come

695
00:38:18.360 --> 00:38:22.199
<v Speaker 7>to distance, a whole plate making a race, but you're

696
00:38:22.199 --> 00:38:23.639
<v Speaker 7>gonna get to the value because you're gonna go on

697
00:38:23.679 --> 00:38:26.280
<v Speaker 7>that throw. If they fake. Make sure that you get

698
00:38:26.320 --> 00:38:26.760
<v Speaker 7>back to the.

699
00:38:26.719 --> 00:38:30.920
<v Speaker 2>Back, simple, Jose. It feels like the last two weeks

700
00:38:31.039 --> 00:38:33.679
<v Speaker 2>or so, these are the type of things that are

701
00:38:33.760 --> 00:38:38.880
<v Speaker 2>costing the Dodgers. Base running mistakes, mental lapses. It just

702
00:38:39.000 --> 00:38:42.400
<v Speaker 2>feels like all those things are costing the Dodgers games

703
00:38:42.440 --> 00:38:44.480
<v Speaker 2>that they have a chance to win.

704
00:38:46.119 --> 00:38:49.239
<v Speaker 7>So let's put it this way. The Dodgers have had

705
00:38:49.320 --> 00:38:52.960
<v Speaker 7>comfortable leads the last couple of years, and they had

706
00:38:53.079 --> 00:38:57.039
<v Speaker 7>not played meaningful games like this in a couple of seasons.

707
00:38:57.079 --> 00:39:00.960
<v Speaker 7>September Dave, I'm gonna say this as an optimius, this

708
00:39:01.039 --> 00:39:03.719
<v Speaker 7>is what they need to go through before October, because

709
00:39:03.960 --> 00:39:06.079
<v Speaker 7>once you get to October, you're not going to be

710
00:39:06.519 --> 00:39:09.159
<v Speaker 7>forgotten for this. You're not going to be forgiven. So

711
00:39:09.679 --> 00:39:11.760
<v Speaker 7>I would say that in a way as good as

712
00:39:11.760 --> 00:39:14.079
<v Speaker 7>it is happening, I mean, defensive lap says we saw

713
00:39:14.079 --> 00:39:16.639
<v Speaker 7>on the trip and things like that, but they have

714
00:39:16.719 --> 00:39:18.719
<v Speaker 7>to get to the point now it's like, Okay, we've

715
00:39:18.800 --> 00:39:22.880
<v Speaker 7>done enough to give away enough runs, extra runners, extra

716
00:39:23.119 --> 00:39:25.760
<v Speaker 7>pictures on our guys. Is kind of clean it up,

717
00:39:25.800 --> 00:39:28.239
<v Speaker 7>and if there is a playoff Baseball, then go out

718
00:39:28.239 --> 00:39:30.480
<v Speaker 7>through and clean up. Because anything happen right now to

719
00:39:30.519 --> 00:39:33.800
<v Speaker 7>take this into October today that those mistakes cannot happen.

720
00:39:33.840 --> 00:39:37.039
<v Speaker 2>Then all right, Jose Motor before I let you go

721
00:39:37.119 --> 00:39:40.400
<v Speaker 2>lost in all, this was the major league debut of

722
00:39:40.599 --> 00:39:45.280
<v Speaker 2>Edgardo Enriquez, a scoreless seventh inning, throwing one hundred miles

723
00:39:45.320 --> 00:39:49.480
<v Speaker 2>an hour using an eighty eight slider. Did the Dodgers

724
00:39:49.639 --> 00:39:53.639
<v Speaker 2>just find another relief weapon going into the postseason?

725
00:39:54.599 --> 00:39:57.920
<v Speaker 7>Yes, because what you do here is you have guys

726
00:39:57.960 --> 00:40:01.159
<v Speaker 7>identified that can help you had not been exposed to

727
00:40:01.280 --> 00:40:05.519
<v Speaker 7>big league hitters, and you try to use those weapons

728
00:40:05.519 --> 00:40:08.559
<v Speaker 7>as much as possible and expose him immediately. By using

729
00:40:08.599 --> 00:40:11.079
<v Speaker 7>him today, you're able to save say, you know, save

730
00:40:11.119 --> 00:40:13.440
<v Speaker 7>more arms out of that bullpen they have available for

731
00:40:13.480 --> 00:40:16.559
<v Speaker 7>the next couple of days. But this kid playing four

732
00:40:16.760 --> 00:40:20.639
<v Speaker 7>levels now five levels. You saw why he's not afraid.

733
00:40:21.000 --> 00:40:23.400
<v Speaker 7>He got his punch outs. He throws the slaughterer around

734
00:40:23.400 --> 00:40:26.679
<v Speaker 7>the zone and uh, he pitches with a lot of intensity,

735
00:40:26.719 --> 00:40:28.679
<v Speaker 7>which we saw in this the minute he took them out.

736
00:40:28.719 --> 00:40:31.639
<v Speaker 7>So hopefully is a weapon that I'm not gonna make

737
00:40:31.639 --> 00:40:33.519
<v Speaker 7>sure her name, but you know it's happened before we

738
00:40:33.760 --> 00:40:36.800
<v Speaker 7>people make the abuse them in September, before you know

739
00:40:36.920 --> 00:40:38.760
<v Speaker 7>the league is like we had no idea about this

740
00:40:38.840 --> 00:40:41.360
<v Speaker 7>kid nowadays, and he goes out and just win some

741
00:40:41.400 --> 00:40:43.440
<v Speaker 7>games for you, at least allows you to win games.

742
00:40:43.480 --> 00:40:47.119
<v Speaker 2>Later, I asked Dave Roberts about that parallel to Frankie

743
00:40:47.199 --> 00:40:50.360
<v Speaker 2>Rodriguez with the Angels in September of two, and he

744
00:40:50.440 --> 00:40:55.159
<v Speaker 2>told me to basically pump my brakesh.

745
00:40:55.400 --> 00:40:58.840
<v Speaker 7>Hey, I remember when Frankervidge's debut that Mike solisions I

746
00:40:58.840 --> 00:41:00.360
<v Speaker 7>don to throw him out there, but he wait like

747
00:41:00.480 --> 00:41:02.360
<v Speaker 7>till the last week of September to put him in

748
00:41:02.360 --> 00:41:03.559
<v Speaker 7>a game for the same reason.

749
00:41:03.719 --> 00:41:06.960
<v Speaker 2>Well, here we are, last week of September with Enriquez

750
00:41:07.000 --> 00:41:07.920
<v Speaker 2>making his debut.

751
00:41:08.960 --> 00:41:09.920
<v Speaker 7>Don't puff the brakes on.

752
00:41:09.960 --> 00:41:14.199
<v Speaker 2>Come on now, uh the mind of Moda. We will

753
00:41:14.280 --> 00:41:18.639
<v Speaker 2>check in with you again tomorrow. Jose, thanks a lot.

754
00:41:17.719 --> 00:41:19.199
<v Speaker 7>Tell you better got what gotta go.

755
00:41:19.719 --> 00:41:23.599
<v Speaker 2>There he goes, Jose Moda joining us after calling the

756
00:41:23.639 --> 00:41:26.639
<v Speaker 2>game for the Dodgers Spanish radio broadcast with Pep Bee

757
00:41:26.719 --> 00:41:30.400
<v Speaker 2>and Ingez and the great Fernando Valenzuela. By the way,

758
00:41:30.480 --> 00:41:33.880
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers hit into another double play tonight. In the

759
00:41:33.960 --> 00:41:36.800
<v Speaker 2>last three games the Dodgers have in it have hit

760
00:41:36.920 --> 00:41:41.119
<v Speaker 2>into seven double plays. So this game was not just

761
00:41:41.199 --> 00:41:45.159
<v Speaker 2>about the ninth inning. Obviously a very disappointing end to

762
00:41:45.239 --> 00:41:48.480
<v Speaker 2>this game with the triple play, but the Dodgers made

763
00:41:48.519 --> 00:41:52.119
<v Speaker 2>mistakes well before the ninth inning. Eight six, six, nine,

764
00:41:52.400 --> 00:41:55.639
<v Speaker 2>seven two five seventy is the phone number. Oh, you're

765
00:41:55.639 --> 00:41:58.599
<v Speaker 2>pulling at my heart strings when somebody from Woodland Hills

766
00:41:58.679 --> 00:42:01.639
<v Speaker 2>is calling, Matt. You're on Dodgery talk. How you doing?

767
00:42:03.880 --> 00:42:05.880
<v Speaker 10>I've been better. I don't know, you don't remember that

768
00:42:06.199 --> 00:42:09.840
<v Speaker 10>I kind of foreshadowed this in April April twelfth, I believe,

769
00:42:09.960 --> 00:42:12.159
<v Speaker 10>is when we lost that overtime or the where were

770
00:42:12.159 --> 00:42:12.800
<v Speaker 10>we HQ?

771
00:42:12.960 --> 00:42:17.159
<v Speaker 2>Gastro Paoli's Where did you foreshadow this in Woodland Hills

772
00:42:17.880 --> 00:42:18.079
<v Speaker 2>h Q?

773
00:42:19.920 --> 00:42:23.480
<v Speaker 10>Well right down to Tamoya Sushi, But we'll leave it

774
00:42:23.519 --> 00:42:28.679
<v Speaker 10>for another day. Yeah, so I don't know. Back in

775
00:42:28.679 --> 00:42:31.079
<v Speaker 10>April twelfth, we lost ex training this one run to

776
00:42:31.119 --> 00:42:33.679
<v Speaker 10>the Padres and this is when Chris Taylor was like,

777
00:42:33.760 --> 00:42:38.000
<v Speaker 10>oh for forty or fifty two for fifty and they

778
00:42:38.039 --> 00:42:40.079
<v Speaker 10>had him hit away bottom of the tenth with a

779
00:42:40.119 --> 00:42:43.519
<v Speaker 10>runner on second down, one run and lost eight to seven,

780
00:42:43.719 --> 00:42:46.079
<v Speaker 10>of course, And uh yeah, I mean this is just

781
00:42:46.119 --> 00:42:48.599
<v Speaker 10>something that's just indicative of this team. They don't really

782
00:42:48.639 --> 00:42:51.199
<v Speaker 10>play to win It's just a slugging team, and I

783
00:42:51.199 --> 00:42:54.239
<v Speaker 10>think it just built completely wrong to make deep runs

784
00:42:54.280 --> 00:42:56.840
<v Speaker 10>into the playoffs. Same thing with the pitching staff, just

785
00:42:57.159 --> 00:43:01.480
<v Speaker 10>old and always hurt. I mean, sounds great, but never

786
00:43:01.519 --> 00:43:05.079
<v Speaker 10>gone through a whole season. We're relying on him, Walco

787
00:43:05.239 --> 00:43:08.800
<v Speaker 10>buh are coming off injury. Kershaw's never played a full season. Again,

788
00:43:10.159 --> 00:43:12.880
<v Speaker 10>It's just painfully obvious and it's just very frustrating. So

789
00:43:13.119 --> 00:43:16.880
<v Speaker 10>I'll leave it at that. But a stranger thinks.

790
00:43:16.599 --> 00:43:20.480
<v Speaker 2>Have happened, Matt Stranger, things have happened. The Cardinals back

791
00:43:20.519 --> 00:43:23.760
<v Speaker 2>in what twenty eleven limped into the postseason and made

792
00:43:23.760 --> 00:43:28.719
<v Speaker 2>a run. So I know tonight is disappointing. You have

793
00:43:28.800 --> 00:43:33.960
<v Speaker 2>to remind yourself the Dodgers, even though nobody else around

794
00:43:34.559 --> 00:43:38.000
<v Speaker 2>Major League Baseball wants to give the NL West the

795
00:43:38.079 --> 00:43:41.480
<v Speaker 2>credit it deserves. This year, without a doubt, it's the

796
00:43:41.519 --> 00:43:46.039
<v Speaker 2>best division in baseball. Everybody always goes to the Automatic,

797
00:43:46.119 --> 00:43:49.360
<v Speaker 2>it's the AL East. Well, this year it's the NL

798
00:43:49.400 --> 00:43:53.800
<v Speaker 2>West between the Dodgers, the Padres, and the Diamondbacks. The

799
00:43:53.840 --> 00:43:56.679
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers had or came into the game tonight with the

800
00:43:56.719 --> 00:44:00.760
<v Speaker 2>best record in baseball, clinging to a three game lead

801
00:44:01.280 --> 00:44:04.960
<v Speaker 2>over the Padres you're going to have right now as

802
00:44:05.000 --> 00:44:09.119
<v Speaker 2>of now, if the postseason started right now, Matt, all

803
00:44:09.519 --> 00:44:12.679
<v Speaker 2>of those three teams from the NL West would be

804
00:44:12.960 --> 00:44:17.320
<v Speaker 2>in the postseason. At some point, everybody has got to

805
00:44:17.360 --> 00:44:20.280
<v Speaker 2>concede the fact that, yes, the Dodgers are one of

806
00:44:20.320 --> 00:44:23.559
<v Speaker 2>the best teams in baseball, but so are the San

807
00:44:23.639 --> 00:44:28.320
<v Speaker 2>Diego Padres. At some point we all have to stop

808
00:44:28.400 --> 00:44:31.440
<v Speaker 2>looking at the Dodgers and maybe give the team and

809
00:44:31.480 --> 00:44:33.719
<v Speaker 2>the other dugout a little bit of credit.

810
00:44:34.480 --> 00:44:34.639
<v Speaker 11>Oh.

811
00:44:35.039 --> 00:44:36.800
<v Speaker 10>I one hundred percent agree with you. I just think

812
00:44:37.639 --> 00:44:40.519
<v Speaker 10>in terms of performance at most jobs, is one team

813
00:44:40.559 --> 00:44:43.280
<v Speaker 10>spending six hundred million another one point four billion, and

814
00:44:43.320 --> 00:44:44.280
<v Speaker 10>you're in this situation.

815
00:44:44.559 --> 00:44:47.039
<v Speaker 2>Well, the Padres are spending quite a bit as well, Matt.

816
00:44:47.320 --> 00:44:50.960
<v Speaker 2>The Padres have spent a lot on Tatis, sa Machado,

817
00:44:51.519 --> 00:44:55.280
<v Speaker 2>on boguards, on you darvish. So let's not act that

818
00:44:55.320 --> 00:44:57.760
<v Speaker 2>they have a homegrown team, because they don't.

819
00:44:58.840 --> 00:44:59.960
<v Speaker 10>No, I mean, they're they're good team.

820
00:45:00.679 --> 00:45:06.199
<v Speaker 2>These are two the salary teams. It's not like they're

821
00:45:06.199 --> 00:45:07.800
<v Speaker 2>the sisters of poor over there.

822
00:45:08.719 --> 00:45:11.639
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, yeah, I understood, all right.

823
00:45:11.719 --> 00:45:15.519
<v Speaker 2>Let's give them a little credit here, okay, Oh sure,

824
00:45:15.800 --> 00:45:18.280
<v Speaker 2>all right, Matt, thanks for the phone call. Eight six

825
00:45:18.360 --> 00:45:21.840
<v Speaker 2>six two five seventy is the phone number. We're gonna

826
00:45:21.880 --> 00:45:25.599
<v Speaker 2>walk it off with the most positive caller in Dodger

827
00:45:25.760 --> 00:45:30.360
<v Speaker 2>Talk history, that is Eric in Hollywood. Eric, I hope, uh,

828
00:45:30.440 --> 00:45:33.360
<v Speaker 2>there are not tears, but I hope there are cheers

829
00:45:33.519 --> 00:45:34.199
<v Speaker 2>on the way.

830
00:45:34.039 --> 00:45:36.800
<v Speaker 13>Out Dodger Day Show.

831
00:45:36.960 --> 00:45:37.719
<v Speaker 2>There we go.

832
00:45:38.800 --> 00:45:43.159
<v Speaker 13>Oh Man, David, what is happening with the Dodgers?

833
00:45:43.199 --> 00:45:45.920
<v Speaker 2>Man, I don't know they're independant race.

834
00:45:47.480 --> 00:45:52.480
<v Speaker 13>This is a postseason New Year, same outcome, postseason game.

835
00:45:52.519 --> 00:45:56.559
<v Speaker 13>Ammasphere and the basket go silent two for tag with

836
00:45:56.719 --> 00:46:02.639
<v Speaker 13>runners in scoring position. David, I'm I'm upset. We are

837
00:46:02.679 --> 00:46:09.039
<v Speaker 13>supposed to fight. Our energy gone MAXI nonexistence. If we

838
00:46:09.079 --> 00:46:12.639
<v Speaker 13>don't hit, we don't win. Like you said, we had

839
00:46:13.119 --> 00:46:18.639
<v Speaker 13>Michael Keg on the Rogues and we did it choke him. David,

840
00:46:19.239 --> 00:46:23.400
<v Speaker 13>you talked me off the ledge before, but I'm frustrated.

841
00:46:24.000 --> 00:46:28.480
<v Speaker 13>Dodger Dation. It's frustrated. We could have picked up a

842
00:46:28.519 --> 00:46:32.039
<v Speaker 13>game of the Phillies for the best record of the league. David.

843
00:46:32.119 --> 00:46:32.679
<v Speaker 2>I'm with you.

844
00:46:32.800 --> 00:46:35.840
<v Speaker 13>I I blue, I bleed blue.

845
00:46:36.480 --> 00:46:40.360
<v Speaker 2>I hear you, and I feel your frustration. But don't

846
00:46:40.400 --> 00:46:43.800
<v Speaker 2>forget the Dodgers are not the ones that are two

847
00:46:43.840 --> 00:46:47.719
<v Speaker 2>games back. Eric, Obviously the Padres have had their number.

848
00:46:47.840 --> 00:46:50.719
<v Speaker 2>It's been a bad matchup. The Padres are one of

849
00:46:50.760 --> 00:46:54.559
<v Speaker 2>the hottest teams, actually the hottest team in baseball. But

850
00:46:54.920 --> 00:46:58.719
<v Speaker 2>let's see how the rest of this series goes. And look,

851
00:46:59.400 --> 00:47:01.840
<v Speaker 2>there's no secret at this point in time in the season.

852
00:47:02.239 --> 00:47:04.639
<v Speaker 2>For the Dodgers to get to the World Series, they're

853
00:47:04.679 --> 00:47:07.920
<v Speaker 2>going to have to out talent the opponent. I think

854
00:47:07.960 --> 00:47:12.159
<v Speaker 2>that's becoming very apparent to all of us. So their

855
00:47:12.280 --> 00:47:15.760
<v Speaker 2>talent won the game on Sunday, even though they did

856
00:47:15.760 --> 00:47:20.719
<v Speaker 2>not play their best tonight. They were about to out

857
00:47:20.760 --> 00:47:25.159
<v Speaker 2>talent with the final at bat, but obviously one of

858
00:47:25.159 --> 00:47:29.360
<v Speaker 2>the rarest things to happen happened, a game ending triple play.

859
00:47:29.880 --> 00:47:31.800
<v Speaker 2>Eric will talk to you tomorrow night. Thanks for the

860
00:47:31.800 --> 00:47:34.599
<v Speaker 2>phone call, and thanks to all of you who called in.

861
00:47:34.760 --> 00:47:37.599
<v Speaker 2>We'll be back at it tomorrow after the Dodgers and

862
00:47:37.639 --> 00:47:41.760
<v Speaker 2>Padres play game two of this three game series. Dylan

863
00:47:41.920 --> 00:47:45.559
<v Speaker 2>ceaes on the mound for the Padres. He is fourteen

864
00:47:45.719 --> 00:47:49.199
<v Speaker 2>and eleven with an era at three forty two. Remember

865
00:47:49.280 --> 00:47:53.199
<v Speaker 2>the Padres traded for Cease the day before or a

866
00:47:53.239 --> 00:47:57.119
<v Speaker 2>couple of days before they left for South Korea. To

867
00:47:57.239 --> 00:48:01.039
<v Speaker 2>begin the regular season against the Dodgers, the Dodgers will

868
00:48:01.079 --> 00:48:04.239
<v Speaker 2>have Jack Flaherty, who they acquired at the trade deadline

869
00:48:04.280 --> 00:48:07.559
<v Speaker 2>from the Tigers. Wouldn't the Tigers love to have Jack

870
00:48:07.599 --> 00:48:10.960
<v Speaker 2>Flaherty back at this point in time? Too bad? He's

871
00:48:11.000 --> 00:48:14.400
<v Speaker 2>a Dodger. Thirteen and seven with an era at three ten.

872
00:48:14.920 --> 00:48:17.800
<v Speaker 2>This guy is the right guy to have on the mound.

873
00:48:17.840 --> 00:48:22.280
<v Speaker 2>Tomorrow Night, Morongo Casino, Dodgers on Deck begins at six

874
00:48:22.320 --> 00:48:27.119
<v Speaker 2>o'clock with first pitch from Dodgers Stadium with Rick Monday

00:48:27.199 --> 00:48:30.480

881
00:48:50.639 --> 00:48:54.639
<v Speaker 2>defeat the Dodgers four to two. Ben Maller is next

882

883
00:48:57.880 --> 00:49:03.400
<v Speaker 2>stay up see him at the season. Sometimes the dreams

884
00:49:03.679 --> 00:49:04.840
<v Speaker 2>of the up
