Speaker 1: And now your host of Dodger Talk, David Vasse.
Speaker 2: We are live at Angels Stadium after the Halos walk
Speaker 2: it off on a Taylor Ward base head to beat
Speaker 2: the Dodgers five to four in the middle game of
Speaker 2: the Practice Freeways series. We have phone lines open at
Speaker 2: eight six, six, nine eighty seven, two five seventy. I
Speaker 2: actually met a caller that ambushed me in the radio
Speaker 2: booth earlier today before the game, Wayne ran Dazzo brought
Speaker 2: an over zealous Angel fan into the press box that
Speaker 2: just wanted to call scoreboard on me and dunk on
Speaker 2: my face. And that was Angels fan Breezy. A Breezy
Speaker 2: apparently called Durango Tani's final year with the Angels to
Speaker 2: tell me that he was sunning with the Dodgers because
Speaker 2: he usually doesn't take batting practice on the field, and
Speaker 2: I guess he did that day at Dodgers Stadium. And
Speaker 2: she said I blew her off when when she told
Speaker 2: me that, but she turned out to be right. I'm
Speaker 2: not sure it's because he took betting practice on the
Speaker 2: field or not that day at Dodgers Stadium. There are
Speaker 2: some reports out there that Otani came back to the
Speaker 2: Angels and asked if they would match the sweetheart deal
Speaker 2: he gave the Dodgers, and they passed on it. So
Speaker 2: the Angels, in a lot of different ways, missed on
Speaker 2: the six years that Otani was here, because what the
Speaker 2: Dodgers are doing maximizing Otani globally is something you never
Speaker 2: saw six years in Anaheim. But Breezy, it was great
Speaker 2: meeting you, and you can call any time. Any friend
Speaker 2: of Wayne is a friend of mine. Eight sixty six,
Speaker 2: nine eighty seven, two five seventy is the phone number.
Speaker 2: We're with you until ten o'clock. You will hear from
Speaker 2: Tyler Glass now. But we want to get to the
Speaker 2: Dodgers Big two of Mookie Bets and Freddie Freeman. These
Speaker 2: two guys at the top of the Dodger lineup supporting
Speaker 2: Otani are huge for the Dodgers. I know the Dodgers
Speaker 2: won both games in Tokyo without them, but that's not
Speaker 2: something that you want to test out for a long
Speaker 2: period of time. Freddie Freeman in the Dodgers starting lineup
Speaker 2: for the second straight night is a sight for sore eyes.
Speaker 2: You don't have to hold your breath, or at least
Speaker 2: I don't anymore. Now that Freddie has basically passed the
Speaker 2: test of Fringan's swinging freely and not holding anything back
Speaker 2: two nights in a row, and we caught up with
Speaker 2: Freddie before tonight's game just to talk to him after
Speaker 2: not really speaking to him in Tokyo, And this is
Speaker 2: the first time Freddie has spoken on the record about
Speaker 2: what was going on, what he was feeling, and how
Speaker 2: he's able to move forward.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So came in today filming pretty good and didn't
Speaker 3: feel anything on swings or anything like that. So it
Speaker 3: seems like to be a scar tissue. So that's a
Speaker 3: good thing, not with how much progress I made and
Speaker 3: that they could. I tried to fight play game two
Speaker 3: because I was feeling pretty good, but it was ultimately
Speaker 3: a smart decision. But feel good today playing back to
Speaker 3: back and I'll play again tomorrow, so hopefully be a
Speaker 3: afterthought by Thursday.
Speaker 4: In that situation, you don't know if one swing is
Speaker 4: going to reaggrevate.
Speaker 3: It exactly exactly. That's why we kind of played on
Speaker 3: the cautionary side of it, just because I was able
Speaker 3: to hit on the in the cage and do whatever
Speaker 3: I wanted to on games. On the day of game two,
Speaker 3: but I just didn't know of game speed, if it
Speaker 3: would make it come up again. So I thought we
Speaker 3: ultimately did the right decision. Unfortunately I caved, but I
Speaker 3: feel good. So missing two games over the course and
Speaker 3: could have missed six weeks probably the best decision. It's amazing.
Speaker 3: That club was amazing. Yeah, it was like a little
Speaker 3: teaz yesterday. I wanted. I was hoping we could just
Speaker 3: play all the games there, play all on you know,
Speaker 3: it's amazing. It's fun that they did an amazing job.
Speaker 3: Just starting to think they can do those renovations in
Speaker 3: four months. It took my wine cellar at about eight
Speaker 3: months to do. I'm kind of confused about it. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I know, twenty four hours a day. No, but the
Speaker 3: clothous was incredible. It's it's I still haven't really seen
Speaker 3: it all. I don't think there's because I heard their
Speaker 3: sleep rooms. I didn't even seen those yet. So really,
Speaker 3: gonna take a couple of days. Yeah, there's a couple
Speaker 3: of days it's gonna take to really take it all in.
Speaker 3: But it's amazing than you care about the most of
Speaker 3: the bat the two cages. Yeah, it's I liked I
Speaker 3: like that. That's yeah. No, the I mean we made
Speaker 3: it work with one cage, but having two cages obviously
Speaker 3: you can get so much more that guys can work
Speaker 3: at the same same time. And uh they went in
Speaker 3: the same area as the weight room, so it is
Speaker 3: a long walk. It's there's a lot of room now
Speaker 3: down there, so uh no, it's good. Now we'll be
Speaker 3: able to change schedules because like I always said after
Speaker 3: MOOKI on certain game days, so now we can kind
Speaker 3: of mix and match. So uh no, more more space,
Speaker 3: more resources means hopefully better things.
Speaker 4: I know it was only an exhibition game last night,
Speaker 4: but you know obviously the way the crowd reacted in
Speaker 4: Tokyo to Otani, I had my own vass a crowd
Speaker 4: meter last night. You got the loudest ovation in your
Speaker 4: first at bat last night.
Speaker 5: How did that make you feel?
Speaker 1: It feels good.
Speaker 3: I'm really looking for more to Thursday and getting the
Speaker 3: packed house again. But come out on an exhibition game
Speaker 3: like they did yesterday on a Sunday, that was pretty
Speaker 3: cool to see.
Speaker 2: Hey, Otani is a tremendous player, the best player in
Speaker 2: the game. But Freddie Freeman hit a walk off grand
Speaker 2: Slam in game one of the world series that is
Speaker 2: going to give you the loudest ovation at Dodger Stadium,
Speaker 2: and he got it.
Speaker 5: Last night, no joke.
Speaker 2: Otani got loud ovations, but I would say on the
Speaker 2: vast say crowd meter noise meter, Freddie's was a couple
Speaker 2: of des bowls higher than Ota. So it's gonna be
Speaker 2: tremendous on Thursday, the ovations. Not only Freddy Freeman's going
Speaker 2: to get and Otani's going to get, but the entire
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four World champions when they received their rings
Speaker 2: on Friday, and the twenty twenty five Dodgers when they're
Speaker 2: announced on opening day on Thursday afternoon. So great news
Speaker 2: that Freddy Freeman's on track for Thursday, and also even
Speaker 2: better news because Mookie Betts has turned the corner miraculously
Speaker 2: after sounding so defeated last night. When we shared that
Speaker 2: with you, Dave Roberts said, Mookie Betts went to Dodgers
Speaker 2: Stadium today to work out. He actually ate solid food
Speaker 2: and did not vomit. That's a big win for Mookie
Speaker 2: Bets since he hasn't been able to do that for
Speaker 2: two weeks.
Speaker 5: So he's expected to be.
Speaker 2: Here in Anaheim tomorrow and Dave Roberts said he's expected
Speaker 2: to have Mookie Betts in the starting lineup in the
Speaker 2: final game of the Free series, But when I asked
Speaker 2: Dave whether or not he would go as far as
Speaker 2: to say that Moki would be in the starting lineup
Speaker 2: on Thursday, he would have to wait to see how
Speaker 2: Mooky comes out of it tomorrow. And let's not forget
Speaker 2: Mookie Betts was in the starting lineup yesterday but was
Speaker 2: a late scratch. So let's see where things end up
Speaker 2: tomorrow for Mooki Bets.
Speaker 5: But it would be nice to see.
Speaker 2: Him play one game and hopefully Thursday be ready for
Speaker 2: the home opener. Eight six six nine eight seven two
Speaker 2: five seventy is the phone number Dodger talked from Angel
Speaker 2: Stadium tonight as the Dodgers fall five to four, But
Speaker 2: more importantly, got a really good start for Tyler Glass
Speaker 2: now who went five innings, had nine strikeouts and now
Speaker 2: on the spring has nineteen strikeouts. Yeah, Tyler Glass now
Speaker 2: this spring has been dominant, And it's not so much
Speaker 2: about the start for Tyler Glass now, it's about the finish.
Speaker 2: Can he make it through a full season? He continues
Speaker 2: to trend in that direction. After last year making a
Speaker 2: career high twenty two starts, but obviously not available the
Speaker 2: second half of the season. But for Tyler Glass now
Speaker 2: nineteen strikeouts in eleven innings this spring, and he told
Speaker 2: us after his first start his mindset was to be
Speaker 2: more athletic and not try to focus on the perfect
Speaker 2: mechanics every single pitch. Here's what he said after he
Speaker 2: came out of the game tonight. As far as that goes, yeah.
Speaker 6: This spring offecially like the last couple. I've been feeling
Speaker 6: pretty good. I think just working on the stuff in
Speaker 6: practice and then kind of forgetting about it and trying
Speaker 6: to just go be athletic has been good for me
Speaker 6: the spring.
Speaker 5: Do you feel like that's.
Speaker 4: Also going to help you just stay healthy and whatever
Speaker 4: plagued you the second half.
Speaker 5: Of last year?
Speaker 4: Is that all connected?
Speaker 5: I think so. Yeah.
Speaker 6: I think anytime you can kind of repeat your mechanics
Speaker 6: and not have that like conscious thought where everything's changing
Speaker 6: each pitch, I think it'll put me in a much
Speaker 6: better place, more like external focus. I guess it's like
Speaker 6: if I'm trying to bury a slider, I'm like, all right,
Speaker 6: I need to go bury as opposed to being like,
Speaker 6: how did.
Speaker 7: That last one?
Speaker 6: I felt a little rotational and like it's like I'm
Speaker 6: trying to align everything correctly, and I think if it
Speaker 6: doesn't line up well in practice, it kind of leaks
Speaker 6: into the game. And I think if I can get
Speaker 6: good reps and like think about what I need to
Speaker 6: in practice and then get my body in a good spot,
Speaker 6: it's easier to not think about it. So it's not
Speaker 6: like it's every time it's going to happen. I think
Speaker 6: every starting pitcher has times where they have to kind
Speaker 6: of grind and figure it out on the mound. But yeah,
Speaker 6: I think it's just as long as I can have
Speaker 6: like an external focus on the zone as opposed to
Speaker 6: me thinking about all my body parts, that usually goes
Speaker 6: a lot better for me.
Speaker 4: Tyler, you could probably be the opening day starter for
Speaker 4: twenty eight, twenty nine other teams. That is it not
Speaker 4: lost upon you that the Dodgers don't need you until
Speaker 4: the third series of the season.
Speaker 6: I think it's great. Like if I'm a number five
Speaker 6: or four or whatever, like that means there's a lot
Speaker 6: of really good pictures on our team. So however lines up,
Speaker 6: it lines up. But I'm I'm I'm happy where I am.
Speaker 6: It's all good.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Do you feel like you guys will feed off each
Speaker 4: other in a team competition competitive way?
Speaker 6: I thought maybe. I think we all just want each
Speaker 6: other to do well, and like everyone's so competitive individually,
Speaker 6: Like you just want to go on pitch well. Like
Speaker 6: I don't know if everyone's worried about what everyone else
Speaker 6: is doing. I think it's just go out, win a
Speaker 6: ton of games as a team, pitch well, and then
Speaker 6: everything kind of takes care of itself.
Speaker 5: All right.
Speaker 2: There's Tyler Glass now, who had his final tune up
Speaker 2: of spring training and is getting set for his first
Speaker 2: start of the regular season this year a week from
Speaker 2: tonight at Dodgers Stadium against the Atlanta Braves. The way
Speaker 2: the Dodgers' rotation stacks up to begin the season, Blake Snell,
Speaker 2: Yamamoto Sazaki will be the first three against the Tigers,
Speaker 2: and then you'll have Tyler Glass now Dustin May starting
Speaker 2: the first two games of the series against Atlanta, and
Speaker 2: then you'll have Blake Snell come back and finish out
Speaker 2: the first home stand of the year. Not to mention
Speaker 2: Kershaw and Otani and Tony Gonsolin waiting in the wings
Speaker 2: if need be, I mean Kershaw is coming back, I
Speaker 2: would venture to say Kershaw's in this rotation by June.
Speaker 2: Otani feels like he's not going to be back until
Speaker 2: the second half of the year pitching. And you know,
Speaker 2: if all things are equal as they stand right now,
Speaker 2: the Dodgers don't need Otani in the first half of
Speaker 2: the season the pitch.
Speaker 5: They need Otani to.
Speaker 2: Be a weapon in the postseason, and the way he
Speaker 2: can do that is ramping up for eight or ten
Speaker 2: starts the second half of the year.
Speaker 5: So that's just my personal opinion.
Speaker 2: I don't feel like the Dodgers really need Otani the
Speaker 2: first half of the year to pitch. They need that bat,
Speaker 2: that fifty to fifty MVP bat in the lineup. Eight six, six,
Speaker 2: nine eighty seven, two five seventy is the phone number.
Speaker 2: We're gonna take a time out here on Dodger Talk

Speaker 2: All right, let's get to our guy, Jose Moda.
Speaker 1: It's time to go around the horn with Jose Mota.
Speaker 2: Jose Mota back at the Big A and Jose before
Speaker 2: we get to Tyler Glass. Now before the game, a
Speaker 2: few of the Dodger trainers that have known Luis Cruz
Speaker 2: for a while, we're trying to tell me that he
Speaker 2: never stops talking.
Speaker 5: You're with him a lot. Does he ever stop talking?
Speaker 7: You know what the best part is about lous Cruz
Speaker 7: That he's getting paid to talk.
Speaker 5: That's what I say. I talked to him, right, That's
Speaker 5: what we do.
Speaker 7: How are you getting that report from from the Dodgers
Speaker 7: athletic trainers. That's quite interesting to me.
Speaker 5: Hey, they were around number forty seven for a few years.
Speaker 5: They know what Louis.
Speaker 7: Louis welcome to the show. I remember that when I
Speaker 7: first got my first broadcast gig back in nineteen ninety
Speaker 7: seven one the Fox, my wife is like, what you're
Speaker 7: gonna get.
Speaker 5: You don't talk.
Speaker 7: I'm like, well, now I'm gonna get paid to talk.
Speaker 7: It's much different. It's going to work.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you came out of your shell, that's for sure.
Speaker 2: Jose Mota is joining us on Dodgery Talk as we're
Speaker 2: getting set to end the practice games tomorrow night. And
Speaker 2: for me, Jose, the story of the game was not
Speaker 2: only Freddie playing again, but also the way Tyler Glass
Speaker 2: now closed out spring training.
Speaker 5: He looked dominant tonight, no matter what.
Speaker 7: And you asked me this question in the interview we
Speaker 7: did over at Salt Ripper and Arizona. Cheto the Dodgers,
Speaker 7: this season is going to you starting pitching, and they
Speaker 7: have tremendous offense. You know, the bullpen is stacked, but man,
Speaker 7: the tradition that we want to see is get back
Speaker 7: to those guys on the mound carrying the load for
Speaker 7: you as starting pitchers. And it's so encouraging to see
Speaker 7: the way that Tyler kind of reassess himself and reevaluated
Speaker 7: some things he was, you know, having issues with why.
Speaker 7: You know, there's a lot of whys in the off
Speaker 7: season from him. As I was talking to him, and
Speaker 7: obviously he want to stay healthy. He found some things
Speaker 7: that are not very complicated at all, but it's being
Speaker 7: athletic as he mentioned, and that's important. Now he's a
Speaker 7: strike at all, he's a power pitcher. They can go
Speaker 7: out there and dominate and get your fourteen punch outs
Speaker 7: with under one hundred pitches. He did it last year
Speaker 7: in Minnesota. But also at the same time, I love
Speaker 7: the mentality of practice as much as he want, but
Speaker 7: didn't when the game starts. Just let it be natural.
Speaker 7: And that is what we're seeing right now, and hopefully
Speaker 7: he'll carry this into the regular season. At one point
Speaker 7: I want to make to that I'm glad you brought
Speaker 7: up David him congratulates Austin Barnes and saying thank you.
Speaker 7: Let me tell you that that relationship between pitches and
Speaker 7: catchers goes beyond balls and strikes and catching and calling
Speaker 7: a pitch, and it goes understanding that what a guy
Speaker 7: that glassed out from six to eight goes out there,
Speaker 7: and barriers that you break involved, that your body is
Speaker 7: aligned well enough to block it, and that you're not
Speaker 7: gonna be blocking his brick ball the way you would
Speaker 7: say it couldn't curse ow curveball, and all those things
Speaker 7: just go in live with being a smart catcher, being
Speaker 7: in tune with your guy, knowing who he is. All
Speaker 7: those things play a part in him being out there
Speaker 7: and dominating and being comfortable whoever's behind the plate.
Speaker 2: You know, it feels like you always talk about hitters
Speaker 2: not thinking too much at the plate. It feels like
Speaker 2: for Tyler Glass now he can't overthink things on the
Speaker 2: mound or he's going to get in trouble and start
Speaker 2: to feel like he's out of sync.
Speaker 7: That when comes on to pitch sequences and what to
Speaker 7: throw and how to set up a hitter. But more
Speaker 7: than anything is let it fly and just trust that
Speaker 7: you're well enough, you're prepared enough, you're strong enough, you're
Speaker 7: you're well trained enough to go out there and just
Speaker 7: allow the ball to do what it's gonna do because
Speaker 7: you are naturally a guy that's gonna field his own.
Speaker 7: One pitch that I think is going to be key
Speaker 7: for him. He implemented it last years, that two seamer.
Speaker 7: We saw a lot of it here tonight at ninety seven,
Speaker 7: ninety sixth movement for Tyler. You know, at times it
Speaker 7: comes down to not trying to just power by guys.
Speaker 7: But he's got enough for that two seamer too. With
Speaker 7: two strikes, surprise the right ended hitters in the outer half,
Speaker 7: and number two is when the situation calls were being economical.
Speaker 7: Go out there and he's a two seamer, gonna ground
Speaker 7: ball and keep your defense looking for you. So he
Speaker 7: has so many weapons, and I think he's kind of
Speaker 7: discovering himself a little bit more as a pitcher because
Speaker 7: he's surrounded by that. It's only, you know, an upswing
Speaker 7: that I see in his career, and of course as
Speaker 7: a Dodger.
Speaker 2: All right, Jose Moto, what's your guess if Mookie Betts
Speaker 2: does show up in Anaheim tomorrow and does play three
Speaker 2: or four innings, do you expect him to be in
Speaker 2: the starting lineup on Thursday against the Tigers.
Speaker 7: Oh my gosh, I would say if Dave Roberts have
Speaker 7: to see, what will he have to see to say, yes,
Speaker 7: you're in the lineup on Thursday. That first of all,
Speaker 7: he's not too weak. That there's stamina, but you know how,
Speaker 7: I'm going to measure stamina in three or four innings,
Speaker 7: So you can't do that because now you're going to
Speaker 7: be playing against Trek's scoobl and the Tigers A you're
Speaker 7: gonna have to play nine anything. So I hope the
Speaker 7: dogers is they know very well can go out there
Speaker 7: and just be on the safe side because it takes
Speaker 7: a lot. And we mentioned it today, we talk about Betts,
Speaker 7: the igression soft tissue that that causes problems with Maybe
Speaker 7: tomorrow just a little Twitter to see where he is,
Speaker 7: but do not force the issue. There's no need to.
Speaker 2: Hey, if you're facing trek scooble, maybe the stomach problems
Speaker 2: are going to come back, right, scooble itis.
Speaker 7: No me, come on, no, But I really do hope
Speaker 7: they that the safe.
Speaker 2: Oh see, Jose got schooble itis. I just mentioned schooble
Speaker 2: and Jose's phone gave out. All right, Jose, we'll see
Speaker 2: you out here tomorrow night. Thanks a lot for checking in.
Speaker 2: And yes, come on, Mookie. Betts is not backing down
Speaker 2: from anybody. But I'll say this, Goooble's the best pitcher
Speaker 2: in baseball. And what I was trying to say is
Speaker 2: that he will make anybody's stomach feel upset because he's
Speaker 2: that good. Eight six six nine eight seven two five
Speaker 2: seventy is the phone number. Hey, it's a rare Sunday
Speaker 2: day off for the Dodgers because of this weird schedule
Speaker 2: since they came back from Tokyo, Japan. The Dodgers are
Speaker 2: opening up on Thursday, so it's a three game series
Speaker 2: against the Tigers Thursday, Friday, Saturday. The Dodgers have Sunday off.
Speaker 2: But it's a great opportunity to meet our beloved ta
Speaker 2: Oscar Hernandez on this Sunday at the Citadel specifically the
Speaker 2: Polo Ralph Lawrence store at the State Outlets for the
Speaker 2: Polo Ralph Lawrence Family Baseball Fan Experience. I will be
Speaker 2: there with ta Oscar from one to three. It's not
Speaker 2: an autograph session at casual. Ta Oscar is not signing autographs.
Speaker 2: He will meet you, he will greet you, he'll even
Speaker 2: take photos with you with that great smile, but it
Speaker 2: is not an autograph session. But we want to see
Speaker 2: you out there, test your fast pitch, win prizes, and
Speaker 2: we'll have a lot of fun together with ta Oscar
Speaker 2: Hernandez one to three o'clock this Sunday at the Citadel Outlets,
Speaker 2: specifically the Rouph Polo Ralph Laurence Stores. So we'll look
Speaker 2: forward to seeing you this Sunday with ta Oscar Hernandez.
Speaker 2: And speaking of ta Oscar, he went deep tonight and
Speaker 2: sports Net LA got a boost in ratings. Dino Ebol,
Speaker 2: the Dodgers third base coach, was miked up for the
Speaker 2: seventh straight Freeway Series.
Speaker 5: They always do it for one of these games.
Speaker 2: And Dino was miked up tonight, and he knew that
Speaker 2: sound of the bat. He had heard it many times
Speaker 2: from a lot of great players in this ballpark. Here's
Speaker 2: how it sounded with Dino on the field on sports
Speaker 2: net LA when Tao went deep, that ball's gone.
Speaker 8: They Oscar Hernandez high flat ball le field toward the
Speaker 8: bullpen and under the bullpen, so Tayo, it ties things up.
Speaker 8: Dino knew it right off the bat.
Speaker 5: Good like Carol.
Speaker 1: I'd wait to get him.
Speaker 5: He's got some kind of pop.
Speaker 7: Boy.
Speaker 2: Hey, I heard Dino carried Eric Carros and Steven Nelson
Speaker 2: tonight on sports net LA. Those two guys should give
Speaker 2: their paychecks over to Dino for carrying their broadcast tonight,
Speaker 2: especially Caros. I mean, come on, a great job by
Speaker 2: Dino Ebl. As always, he went viral on that on
Speaker 2: that home run, calling it as soon as he heard it.
Speaker 2: So it's always great to get that inside feel to
Speaker 2: the game. And Dino was gracious enough again to be
Speaker 2: miked up for Sports Net LA, even in a setting
Speaker 2: like this Freeway Series exhibition game. Awesome stuff, great idea
Speaker 2: to have him. So hopefully the Dodgers continue to keep
Speaker 2: things rolling and Dino Ebel has those kind of feelings
Speaker 2: a lot this season. I have no doubt that's going
Speaker 2: to happen. The Dodger offense is the best in baseball.
Speaker 2: I mean, there is nowhere to come up for air.
Speaker 2: We talk about Tyler Glass now being a guy that
Speaker 2: could start on opening Day for twenty eight other teams
Speaker 2: out there. How about Michael Conforto hitting seventh for the Dodgers?
Speaker 5: Are you kidding me?
Speaker 2: Michael Conforto could probably hit higher in the lineup of
Speaker 2: at least twenty five teams out there.
Speaker 5: So the Dodgers are stacked.
Speaker 2: They've been very judicious with who they've traded for who
Speaker 2: they've signed, and it's worked out the right way for
Speaker 2: them as they are in position to at least go
Speaker 2: back to the World Series, let alone try to win
Speaker 2: it for a back to back situation. The first time
Speaker 2: in twenty five years a major League team would have
Speaker 2: won back to back World Series, the Yankees, the Gita
Speaker 2: Yankees did it twenty five years ago. That'll do it
Speaker 2: for us on Dodger Talk tonight. Thanks to Dwayne McDonald
Speaker 2: out here at the Big A, thanks to Colin Ee
Speaker 2: back at our Burbank studios, and thanks to you for listening.
Speaker 2: In case you missed any of the show or our
Speaker 2: pregame conversation with two time world champion Chris Taylor, you
Speaker 2: can find.
Speaker 5: It on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2: Tomorrow night, Dustin May will close out the exhibition Freeway
Speaker 2: series for the Dodgers Morongo Casino. Dodgers on Deck begins
Speaker 2: at five o'clock with first pitch at six oh seven
Speaker 2: from the Big A with Rick Monday and Tim Neverett
Speaker 2: once again.
Speaker 5: The final score.
Speaker 2: Tonight from Anaheim, the Angels defeat the Dodgers five to four.
Speaker 2: Have a great rest of your night. We'll see you
Speaker 2: tomorrow or we'll talk to you.
Speaker 5: See it on the second self. They just te
