00:00:11.759 --> 00:00:18.519
<v Speaker 2>Fight back Damn Cats, Dodgers with the win in Arizona

5
00:00:18.800 --> 00:00:23.480
<v Speaker 2>as they put some separation between them and the Snakes. Hi, everybody,

6
00:00:23.600 --> 00:00:27.519
<v Speaker 2>welcome to Dodger Talk here on this Monday afternoon early

7
00:00:27.760 --> 00:00:32.079
<v Speaker 2>evening here in southern California, wrapping up this Labor Day weekend.

8
00:00:32.159 --> 00:00:34.560
<v Speaker 2>Hope you're staying cool out there as things starting to

9
00:00:34.600 --> 00:00:38.600
<v Speaker 2>heat up here in this first week of September. Eight

10
00:00:38.719 --> 00:00:41.600
<v Speaker 2>sixty six nine eighty seven two five seventy is our number.

11
00:00:41.640 --> 00:00:44.560
<v Speaker 2>Eight sixty six nine eighty seven two five seventy. What

12
00:00:44.640 --> 00:00:48.159
<v Speaker 2>a wild weekend in Arizona. The Dodgers won ten nine

13
00:00:48.200 --> 00:00:51.520
<v Speaker 2>on Friday, Dodgers won eight to six on Saturday, the

14
00:00:51.560 --> 00:00:54.159
<v Speaker 2>Diamondbacks come back and win yesterday.

15
00:00:53.799 --> 00:00:55.039
<v Speaker 3>Fourteen to three.

16
00:00:55.679 --> 00:00:58.840
<v Speaker 2>And the Dodgers and Diebacks today in the fourth and

17
00:00:58.920 --> 00:01:01.280
<v Speaker 2>final game of this series, the final time they'll meet

18
00:01:01.320 --> 00:01:05.920
<v Speaker 2>this season in the regular season, seventeen more combined runs.

19
00:01:06.040 --> 00:01:10.680
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers win it eleven to six over Arizona eleven runs

20
00:01:10.680 --> 00:01:15.159
<v Speaker 2>on seventeen hits, Chris Taylor at double, Mookie Bets a double,

21
00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:18.879
<v Speaker 2>ta Oscar Hernandez a double, Toascar Hernandez with a triple,

22
00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:24.359
<v Speaker 2>Freddie Freeman two home runs. The Dodgers absolutely pounded and

23
00:01:24.519 --> 00:01:28.799
<v Speaker 2>Water Rodriguez and they got to Jordan Montgomery tagged him

24
00:01:28.799 --> 00:01:32.200
<v Speaker 2>out of the game literally, ta Oscar Hernandez drilling a

25
00:01:32.280 --> 00:01:34.599
<v Speaker 2>ball off to his shin. He had to come out

26
00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:36.799
<v Speaker 2>of the game after it started to balloon up on

27
00:01:36.879 --> 00:01:39.480
<v Speaker 2>him and the Diamondbacks had to go to the bullpen.

28
00:01:40.040 --> 00:01:43.959
<v Speaker 2>But think about this, Two of the bigger free agents

29
00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:48.959
<v Speaker 2>in baseball this pass offseason pitching wise, and Water Rodriguez

30
00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:54.599
<v Speaker 2>and Jordan Montgomery both signed with the Arizona Diamondbacks. Jordan

31
00:01:54.599 --> 00:01:56.920
<v Speaker 2>Montgomery and late signed. Certainly we know the drama that

32
00:01:56.959 --> 00:01:59.480
<v Speaker 2>he he had waiting and waiting and waiting during spring

33
00:01:59.560 --> 00:02:02.200
<v Speaker 2>training to sign and Water Rodriguez.

34
00:02:02.200 --> 00:02:03.920
<v Speaker 3>For those of you who don't remember.

35
00:02:04.239 --> 00:02:07.040
<v Speaker 2>Last year, the Dodgers wanted him up the trade deadline,

36
00:02:07.640 --> 00:02:09.800
<v Speaker 2>thought they had a deal in place with the Detroit

37
00:02:09.840 --> 00:02:14.120
<v Speaker 2>Tigers to acquire the leftander at the deadline last year,

38
00:02:14.479 --> 00:02:17.800
<v Speaker 2>only to have it water O Rodriguez not waive his

39
00:02:18.080 --> 00:02:21.479
<v Speaker 2>trade clause to go to the Dodgers didn't want to

40
00:02:21.479 --> 00:02:25.439
<v Speaker 2>pitch on the West coast, instead stayed in Detroit and

41
00:02:25.479 --> 00:02:28.080
<v Speaker 2>the offseason signs a deal with the Arizona Diamonbacks.

42
00:02:28.199 --> 00:02:29.759
<v Speaker 3>The last time I looked it pretty close to the

43
00:02:29.800 --> 00:02:30.400
<v Speaker 3>West coast.

44
00:02:31.439 --> 00:02:35.400
<v Speaker 2>Gets Hurt, makes only four starts going into today, and

45
00:02:35.479 --> 00:02:38.879
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers roughed him up for four innings, three runs,

46
00:02:38.919 --> 00:02:42.159
<v Speaker 2>seven hits, a couple of walks. They milt him for

47
00:02:42.280 --> 00:02:44.840
<v Speaker 2>ninety two pitches and four innings of work. And then

48
00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:48.719
<v Speaker 2>they got after Jordan Montgomery. So the Dodgers got after

49
00:02:48.840 --> 00:02:55.159
<v Speaker 2>Arizona's two big free agent signings this past offseason. That's

50
00:02:55.199 --> 00:02:59.000
<v Speaker 2>a positive takeaway from this now, certainly the Dodgers winning

51
00:02:59.039 --> 00:03:01.800
<v Speaker 2>three of four big for multiple accounts.

52
00:03:01.960 --> 00:03:05.759
<v Speaker 3>One, you leave Arizona after.

53
00:03:05.639 --> 00:03:07.919
<v Speaker 2>Final meeting against them head to head of the regular

54
00:03:07.960 --> 00:03:11.199
<v Speaker 2>season with a six game lead. You go in there

55
00:03:11.240 --> 00:03:13.560
<v Speaker 2>with the four game lead, you come out picking up

56
00:03:13.639 --> 00:03:19.240
<v Speaker 2>two games in the division. The Dodgers up six on Arizona.

57
00:03:20.280 --> 00:03:23.240
<v Speaker 2>The Dodgers also today by beating the Dimonbacks win the

58
00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:27.800
<v Speaker 2>season series. The Dodgers win seven of the thirteen head

59
00:03:27.800 --> 00:03:31.360
<v Speaker 2>to head meetings. Why is that important? I'll keep reiterating

60
00:03:31.400 --> 00:03:33.680
<v Speaker 2>to you Rick Monday talked about it. Tim never talked

61
00:03:33.680 --> 00:03:35.560
<v Speaker 2>about it. Dam if I say mentioned it on the

62
00:03:35.599 --> 00:03:39.599
<v Speaker 2>pregame show. The importance of this game, the deciding game

63
00:03:39.680 --> 00:03:43.840
<v Speaker 2>in the season series. Now, if the Diamonbacks and Dodgers

64
00:03:43.919 --> 00:03:48.680
<v Speaker 2>square off in October in an NLDS series, the Dodgers

65
00:03:48.680 --> 00:03:51.919
<v Speaker 2>will have home field advantage based on the fact that

66
00:03:51.960 --> 00:03:56.840
<v Speaker 2>they won this season series. So the Dodgers will have

67
00:03:56.919 --> 00:04:00.319
<v Speaker 2>home field advantage over Arizona if they meet. That's an

68
00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:05.840
<v Speaker 2>important cog in this win today for the Dodgers. So

69
00:04:05.960 --> 00:04:09.680
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers victory today big for multiple reasons. And you

70
00:04:09.719 --> 00:04:12.240
<v Speaker 2>look at the way they did it. The offense exploding

71
00:04:12.240 --> 00:04:16.160
<v Speaker 2>for eleven runs, the top of the lineup producing Will Smith,

72
00:04:16.199 --> 00:04:18.160
<v Speaker 2>who you heard in the Clubhouse show with David Vasse

73
00:04:18.279 --> 00:04:21.839
<v Speaker 2>on the field, a great defensive play, but also starting

74
00:04:21.839 --> 00:04:26.519
<v Speaker 2>to heat up offensively today goes two for five drives

75
00:04:26.560 --> 00:04:29.360
<v Speaker 2>in two part of a three run seventh inning to

76
00:04:29.360 --> 00:04:32.160
<v Speaker 2>pull the Dodgers up six to one. They tacked on

77
00:04:32.279 --> 00:04:35.519
<v Speaker 2>five more in the eighth inning to go up eleven

78
00:04:35.560 --> 00:04:38.920
<v Speaker 2>to three. I know, the final score is eleven to six,

79
00:04:38.959 --> 00:04:41.079
<v Speaker 2>and you're starting to think, wow, the bullpen the bullpen,

80
00:04:41.120 --> 00:04:43.839
<v Speaker 2>they can look like they did today. Well, let's keep

81
00:04:43.879 --> 00:04:46.519
<v Speaker 2>in mind this is an Arizona Diamondbacks team, although a

82
00:04:46.519 --> 00:04:50.040
<v Speaker 2>little banged up right now, still leads baseball in runs

83
00:04:50.040 --> 00:04:52.879
<v Speaker 2>per game, and it's one of the better come from

84
00:04:52.959 --> 00:04:57.120
<v Speaker 2>behind teams and late inning teams in baseball this year.

85
00:04:57.800 --> 00:05:00.319
<v Speaker 2>And we saw those in the first three games. How

86
00:05:00.439 --> 00:05:03.079
<v Speaker 2>close you know, I'll be it. Yesterday not so much,

87
00:05:03.360 --> 00:05:05.759
<v Speaker 2>but the first two games close and the Dodgers pulling

88
00:05:05.839 --> 00:05:09.439
<v Speaker 2>away late on Friday and Saturday. Today the Dodgers up

89
00:05:09.480 --> 00:05:12.480
<v Speaker 2>three to one, up six to one, to six to three.

90
00:05:12.519 --> 00:05:15.120
<v Speaker 2>Game after the seventh inning, the Dodgers with the five

91
00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:17.920
<v Speaker 2>runs go up ten to three, up eleven to three,

92
00:05:18.639 --> 00:05:20.720
<v Speaker 2>and then you see the dim Backs scorer a running

93
00:05:20.759 --> 00:05:23.000
<v Speaker 2>the eighth and the running the ninth. It was too

94
00:05:23.040 --> 00:05:25.959
<v Speaker 2>much at that point, but they continued to battle. They

95
00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:28.800
<v Speaker 2>continue to fight and scrap and put the cross runs

96
00:05:29.079 --> 00:05:31.680
<v Speaker 2>and tried to get back into this game. So if

97
00:05:31.680 --> 00:05:34.240
<v Speaker 2>these two teams meet in October, I'll be honest with you,

98
00:05:34.279 --> 00:05:37.600
<v Speaker 2>they scare me. I know what happened last year, and

99
00:05:37.639 --> 00:05:40.079
<v Speaker 2>they caught fire. And certainly that was a Diamondbacks team

100
00:05:40.120 --> 00:05:44.079
<v Speaker 2>that caught everybody in baseball by surprise, never let up,

101
00:05:44.480 --> 00:05:46.600
<v Speaker 2>never took their foot off the gas the second half

102
00:05:46.600 --> 00:05:48.879
<v Speaker 2>of the season into October, and ran all the way

103
00:05:49.079 --> 00:05:52.319
<v Speaker 2>to a World Series appearance, falling short to the Texas Rangers.

104
00:05:53.079 --> 00:05:55.560
<v Speaker 2>Now this year, I think this Dodgers team will be

105
00:05:55.639 --> 00:05:59.160
<v Speaker 2>ready for him. I know they will come October. And

106
00:05:59.240 --> 00:06:01.759
<v Speaker 2>David bassay, that's a great question to show, hey Otani.

107
00:06:01.800 --> 00:06:04.360
<v Speaker 2>You heard it in the Clubout show about being selfless

108
00:06:04.560 --> 00:06:07.720
<v Speaker 2>and at bats in this series and at bats for

109
00:06:07.800 --> 00:06:10.279
<v Speaker 2>show hey moving forward as he strives to get to

110
00:06:10.319 --> 00:06:13.000
<v Speaker 2>fifty to fifty in the final twenty four games of

111
00:06:13.040 --> 00:06:16.279
<v Speaker 2>the season, but also being a team player. And in

112
00:06:16.360 --> 00:06:20.560
<v Speaker 2>this series we saw at bats, moving guys, over stealing bases,

113
00:06:20.800 --> 00:06:24.480
<v Speaker 2>getting in scoring position, sacrificing maybe in a bat for

114
00:06:24.560 --> 00:06:28.879
<v Speaker 2>yourself to better the team in a situation. That halfending.

115
00:06:29.560 --> 00:06:32.319
<v Speaker 2>We're seeing it up and down the lineup. We saw

116
00:06:32.319 --> 00:06:34.680
<v Speaker 2>Shoe Otani put down a bun attempt, albeit I don't

117
00:06:34.680 --> 00:06:36.879
<v Speaker 2>think he was really trying to bunt. But you know,

118
00:06:37.199 --> 00:06:41.079
<v Speaker 2>we're seeing guys like Keik Hernandez, who's got power, who's

119
00:06:41.120 --> 00:06:44.720
<v Speaker 2>been a proven postseason player, a player that the Dodgers

120
00:06:44.720 --> 00:06:47.639
<v Speaker 2>are going to rely upon. This stretch run, go out

121
00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:49.920
<v Speaker 2>there and put down a bunt to move guys over

122
00:06:50.439 --> 00:06:54.839
<v Speaker 2>in one of the games this weekend. It's it's contagious

123
00:06:55.040 --> 00:06:58.240
<v Speaker 2>winning and losing. If you don't think it is, you're crazy.

124
00:06:58.759 --> 00:07:01.600
<v Speaker 2>And I think right now, this team with the top

125
00:07:01.600 --> 00:07:04.839
<v Speaker 2>of the lineup, the big three as we call them, Otani, Bets,

126
00:07:04.839 --> 00:07:08.480
<v Speaker 2>and Freeman, not afraid to move guys over, not afraid

127
00:07:08.519 --> 00:07:11.720
<v Speaker 2>to be selfless. Mookie Bets today goes two for four.

128
00:07:12.720 --> 00:07:17.040
<v Speaker 2>Rookie Bets today, that two run single, first pitch, swinging

129
00:07:17.079 --> 00:07:20.680
<v Speaker 2>in the first line drive to left, Mookie Bets two

130
00:07:20.800 --> 00:07:24.800
<v Speaker 2>run double in the eighth inning, perfectly placed, not trying

131
00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:27.000
<v Speaker 2>to hit a home run, not trying to have a

132
00:07:27.040 --> 00:07:29.199
<v Speaker 2>big shot there in a three run bomb in that

133
00:07:29.279 --> 00:07:33.800
<v Speaker 2>situation in the eighth inning. Instead, Mookie Bets finds the

134
00:07:33.839 --> 00:07:38.839
<v Speaker 2>line and gets a double, two runs scored, just doing

135
00:07:38.920 --> 00:07:41.920
<v Speaker 2>things to manufacture runs and not try to play hero

136
00:07:42.079 --> 00:07:44.399
<v Speaker 2>baseball with one swing of the bat, which I think

137
00:07:44.439 --> 00:07:46.879
<v Speaker 2>we saw this Dodger team the last couple of years

138
00:07:46.920 --> 00:07:50.199
<v Speaker 2>get into a bad habit of and we saw it

139
00:07:50.360 --> 00:07:53.480
<v Speaker 2>stretches this year, certainly during that rut last month. But

140
00:07:53.560 --> 00:07:58.160
<v Speaker 2>as we flip the calendar to September. Now, I like

141
00:07:58.240 --> 00:08:00.920
<v Speaker 2>what I saw in these four games in Arizona. Certainly

142
00:08:00.959 --> 00:08:03.360
<v Speaker 2>things got away from him yesterday with Justin Robleski giving

143
00:08:03.399 --> 00:08:06.079
<v Speaker 2>up to eight runs early and putting them in a

144
00:08:06.199 --> 00:08:11.720
<v Speaker 2>huge hole. But I like this Dodgers offense. Now, there

145
00:08:11.720 --> 00:08:15.279
<v Speaker 2>are still some question marks going into October, certainly eight six, six, nine,

146
00:08:15.360 --> 00:08:18.759
<v Speaker 2>eighty seven, two five seventy starting pitching. What are they

147
00:08:18.759 --> 00:08:21.160
<v Speaker 2>going to get out of Yamamoto when he comes back.

148
00:08:21.600 --> 00:08:24.040
<v Speaker 2>The health of Clayton Kershaw, who's going to be walking

149
00:08:24.040 --> 00:08:26.240
<v Speaker 2>around in a walking boot at times to help his

150
00:08:26.360 --> 00:08:29.720
<v Speaker 2>toe heal and take some of the inflammation out of

151
00:08:29.759 --> 00:08:33.600
<v Speaker 2>the turf toe, the injured toe that he's got on

152
00:08:33.639 --> 00:08:37.480
<v Speaker 2>his left big toe on his foot. What about Walker

153
00:08:37.519 --> 00:08:40.399
<v Speaker 2>Buehler and his up and down We'll find out tomorrow

154
00:08:40.399 --> 00:08:42.879
<v Speaker 2>on his next start how he's progressing. You maybe he

155
00:08:42.879 --> 00:08:45.879
<v Speaker 2>has turned the page and back to Walker Buehler form.

156
00:08:46.240 --> 00:08:49.080
<v Speaker 2>There's a lot of question marks. Tyler Glass now who

157
00:08:49.159 --> 00:08:51.399
<v Speaker 2>if you hear the conversation he had with David vas

158
00:08:51.399 --> 00:08:54.360
<v Speaker 2>Say earlier in this series in Arizona, you kind of

159
00:08:54.399 --> 00:08:57.320
<v Speaker 2>get the feeling that, while yes, they are in a

160
00:08:57.399 --> 00:09:02.360
<v Speaker 2>race right now in the division, they've got eyes on

161
00:09:02.440 --> 00:09:07.200
<v Speaker 2>October for Tyler Glass now, and you hate to say, well,

162
00:09:06.879 --> 00:09:11.399
<v Speaker 2>we'll worry about the division with everybody else, but Tyler

163
00:09:11.720 --> 00:09:14.440
<v Speaker 2>is for October. But I think that's really, honestly the

164
00:09:14.519 --> 00:09:18.000
<v Speaker 2>way they're looking at it. We need a fresh, healthy

165
00:09:18.799 --> 00:09:23.799
<v Speaker 2>horse in Tyler Glass now for October, and there's no

166
00:09:23.879 --> 00:09:25.000
<v Speaker 2>need to have him come back.

167
00:09:25.039 --> 00:09:26.679
<v Speaker 3>If he's got inflammation, a.

168
00:09:26.600 --> 00:09:30.360
<v Speaker 2>Little tendonitis, a little soreness, a little dead arm, however

169
00:09:30.360 --> 00:09:35.120
<v Speaker 2>you want to describe it, fatigue, Let's get rid of

170
00:09:35.120 --> 00:09:35.519
<v Speaker 2>it now.

171
00:09:36.080 --> 00:09:38.200
<v Speaker 3>Let's let him rest. What's the hurry.

172
00:09:38.960 --> 00:09:41.480
<v Speaker 2>It's not a half game, leads, not down to one

173
00:09:41.519 --> 00:09:45.320
<v Speaker 2>and a half, it maybe five. The Padres hang on

174
00:09:45.440 --> 00:09:49.360
<v Speaker 2>and win against the Detroit Tigers, and they're up one

175
00:09:49.399 --> 00:09:50.919
<v Speaker 2>to nothing right now in the eighth inning to Pet

176
00:09:50.919 --> 00:09:53.320
<v Speaker 2>go apart. Okay, they'll be five up on the Padres

177
00:09:53.360 --> 00:09:56.080
<v Speaker 2>that maintains, and there's six games up on the Diamondbacks.

178
00:09:57.080 --> 00:10:00.120
<v Speaker 2>You can get away with another turn through the rotation

179
00:10:00.360 --> 00:10:03.519
<v Speaker 2>without Tyler Glass now and feel pretty confident about your

180
00:10:03.559 --> 00:10:05.919
<v Speaker 2>team and where they're at in the standings. He's gonna

181
00:10:05.960 --> 00:10:10.639
<v Speaker 2>need probably one tune up, maybe two coming back before

182
00:10:10.679 --> 00:10:12.759
<v Speaker 2>the postseason. You can't just come right off the il

183
00:10:12.799 --> 00:10:14.960
<v Speaker 2>And'm thinking he's gonna be ready to go come October

184
00:10:15.000 --> 00:10:18.840
<v Speaker 2>with nothing pitched in September, so they'll get him back

185
00:10:18.879 --> 00:10:20.720
<v Speaker 2>at the end of the month. I'm pretty sure, but

186
00:10:21.200 --> 00:10:24.240
<v Speaker 2>based on the way his tone and his talking with

187
00:10:24.320 --> 00:10:29.320
<v Speaker 2>David Vassay earlier in this series in Arizona, the gist

188
00:10:29.440 --> 00:10:32.320
<v Speaker 2>I got, and maybe I'm completely wrong, but I don't

189
00:10:32.360 --> 00:10:35.960
<v Speaker 2>think I am. Kind of feels like they're just getting

190
00:10:36.000 --> 00:10:40.200
<v Speaker 2>him ready for October, making sure he's ready, making sure

191
00:10:40.440 --> 00:10:42.720
<v Speaker 2>he's rested. There's another guy I want to make sure

192
00:10:42.720 --> 00:10:44.679
<v Speaker 2>he's good to go come October, and that was a

193
00:10:44.679 --> 00:10:47.919
<v Speaker 2>guy we saw today in Jack Flarity. Jack Flerity to

194
00:10:47.960 --> 00:10:51.240
<v Speaker 2>me is an old school pitcher. Jack Flaerity to me

195
00:10:51.600 --> 00:10:53.759
<v Speaker 2>is a guy who today when he came out of

196
00:10:53.759 --> 00:10:55.240
<v Speaker 2>the game, if you happen to see it on sports

197
00:10:55.279 --> 00:10:57.200
<v Speaker 2>and net LA, if you see it on a replay,

198
00:10:57.279 --> 00:11:00.480
<v Speaker 2>see it on social media. He got pulled with two

199
00:11:00.519 --> 00:11:03.799
<v Speaker 2>outs after back to back walks in the sixth inning,

200
00:11:04.440 --> 00:11:08.440
<v Speaker 2>and at the time the Dodgers were leading three to one.

201
00:11:08.480 --> 00:11:09.360
<v Speaker 3>He was not happy.

202
00:11:09.879 --> 00:11:12.320
<v Speaker 2>Jack Flarerity came off the mount and not happy with

203
00:11:12.799 --> 00:11:15.039
<v Speaker 2>anybody on his team or Dave Roberts, for coming to

204
00:11:15.039 --> 00:11:19.600
<v Speaker 2>get him. He was not happy with himself because his

205
00:11:19.679 --> 00:11:23.240
<v Speaker 2>pitch count was pretty low after four innings. The Diamondbacks,

206
00:11:23.279 --> 00:11:26.519
<v Speaker 2>to their credit, did a really good job elongating at

207
00:11:26.600 --> 00:11:30.159
<v Speaker 2>bats in the fifth inning. He only faced four batters

208
00:11:30.159 --> 00:11:32.879
<v Speaker 2>in the fifth, but through twenty three pitches, and then

209
00:11:32.919 --> 00:11:37.200
<v Speaker 2>he comes back on the sixth a leadoff single, a strikeout.

210
00:11:37.480 --> 00:11:42.960
<v Speaker 2>Will Smith nails Jack Jake McCarthy at second base for

211
00:11:43.000 --> 00:11:45.679
<v Speaker 2>the second out of the inning. Perfect, but then he

212
00:11:45.840 --> 00:11:50.200
<v Speaker 2>walks Josh Bell with two outs and then walks another

213
00:11:50.279 --> 00:11:52.639
<v Speaker 2>batter and that's when Dave Roberts came to get him.

214
00:11:52.799 --> 00:11:57.519
<v Speaker 3>After ninety six pitches. Jack Flaherty's anger.

215
00:11:59.159 --> 00:12:02.600
<v Speaker 2>Not being happy at the moment, again, not directing anybody

216
00:12:02.679 --> 00:12:05.440
<v Speaker 2>but himself, because you can tell he wanted to get

217
00:12:05.519 --> 00:12:09.159
<v Speaker 2>out of that inning. He wanted to get through six

218
00:12:09.960 --> 00:12:11.799
<v Speaker 2>and turn it over to the bullpen for the final

219
00:12:11.879 --> 00:12:15.639
<v Speaker 2>nine outs. As it was Alex VESSI comes in, get

220
00:12:15.679 --> 00:12:19.360
<v Speaker 2>to punch out on four pitches and the inning is over.

221
00:12:19.799 --> 00:12:22.600
<v Speaker 3>Flareity still gets the win. But I love his fight.

222
00:12:23.080 --> 00:12:23.759
<v Speaker 3>I love his.

223
00:12:25.279 --> 00:12:30.720
<v Speaker 2>Aggressiveness on the mound. It's not just his composure, his build,

224
00:12:31.799 --> 00:12:35.080
<v Speaker 2>his moxie on the mount. He reminds me of an

225
00:12:35.120 --> 00:12:38.240
<v Speaker 2>old school got not afraid to throw inside, not afraid

226
00:12:38.279 --> 00:12:41.200
<v Speaker 2>to challenge a hitter and go up in the zone

227
00:12:41.240 --> 00:12:44.799
<v Speaker 2>with the fastball and say, here's ninety six at the letters.

228
00:12:45.159 --> 00:12:47.320
<v Speaker 2>It's gonna be a strike. Can you turn on it?

229
00:12:47.879 --> 00:12:50.039
<v Speaker 3>And he got seven punch outs today.

230
00:12:51.519 --> 00:12:54.159
<v Speaker 2>I am excited to see what he can be a

231
00:12:54.200 --> 00:12:57.039
<v Speaker 2>part of this Dodger rotation come October. But again, I

232
00:12:57.080 --> 00:12:59.000
<v Speaker 2>want to make sure he's healthy too. I want to

233
00:12:59.000 --> 00:13:02.399
<v Speaker 2>make sure that Jack Flaherty's ready to go come octobery.

234
00:13:02.440 --> 00:13:05.120
<v Speaker 2>Through ninety six pitches, today's made now five starts in

235
00:13:05.200 --> 00:13:07.399
<v Speaker 2>a Dodger uniform. He picked up as eleventh win of

236
00:13:07.399 --> 00:13:10.120
<v Speaker 2>the season, but he's now made twenty five starts on

237
00:13:10.159 --> 00:13:12.480
<v Speaker 2>the season. Hey, let's make sure he's good to go

238
00:13:12.559 --> 00:13:15.600
<v Speaker 2>as well. Eight sixty six, nine eighty seven, two five seventy.

239
00:13:15.759 --> 00:13:18.080
<v Speaker 2>Let's hear from the Dodger manager, Dave Roberts. Let's head

240
00:13:18.120 --> 00:13:20.080
<v Speaker 2>back out to Chase Field before the Dodger head out

241
00:13:20.320 --> 00:13:21.960
<v Speaker 2>and come back home to southern California.

242
00:13:21.960 --> 00:13:24.200
<v Speaker 3>And here from the Dodger skipper, it was a.

243
00:13:24.279 --> 00:13:27.279
<v Speaker 4>It was an important series, big series, and it was

244
00:13:27.320 --> 00:13:31.200
<v Speaker 4>good to see, you know. Twenty eight guys, twenty six,

245
00:13:31.320 --> 00:13:36.120
<v Speaker 4>twenty eight guys come together and you know, finish off

246
00:13:36.120 --> 00:13:39.200
<v Speaker 4>the series the right way. Obviously, you can see the

247
00:13:39.279 --> 00:13:44.399
<v Speaker 4>urgency with both clubs, how they played and for us

248
00:13:44.399 --> 00:13:47.600
<v Speaker 4>to win three here was is a is a tough

249
00:13:47.639 --> 00:13:51.159
<v Speaker 4>feat and it took some big hits, some big pitching

250
00:13:51.279 --> 00:13:55.279
<v Speaker 4>and overall, you know, to come out of this series

251
00:13:55.600 --> 00:13:58.919
<v Speaker 4>up six games against these guys, we took care of business.

252
00:13:59.279 --> 00:14:01.600
<v Speaker 1>Ja length about just how Jack and Will navigated through

253
00:14:01.600 --> 00:14:02.960
<v Speaker 1>their lineups so efficiently.

254
00:14:03.799 --> 00:14:08.200
<v Speaker 4>I thought they were in lockstep all day today. We

255
00:14:08.279 --> 00:14:11.080
<v Speaker 4>talked about it earlier in the sense of, you know,

256
00:14:11.159 --> 00:14:13.399
<v Speaker 4>how to use your fastball, when to use your fastball,

257
00:14:13.879 --> 00:14:16.519
<v Speaker 4>how to use your secondary pitches, and he did just

258
00:14:16.559 --> 00:14:21.200
<v Speaker 4>that and so I thought, you know, through five innings

259
00:14:21.000 --> 00:14:24.720
<v Speaker 4>he was fantastic. And in that sixth inning, I just

260
00:14:24.759 --> 00:14:28.399
<v Speaker 4>thought he started losing command a little bit, and you

261
00:14:28.440 --> 00:14:30.759
<v Speaker 4>know it worked out, but you know, Jack to give

262
00:14:30.840 --> 00:14:32.559
<v Speaker 4>us some length right there and to keep us in

263
00:14:32.600 --> 00:14:34.679
<v Speaker 4>the ball game was was fantastic.

264
00:14:34.879 --> 00:14:37.639
<v Speaker 5>It was the kind of stakes were there and how

265
00:14:37.799 --> 00:14:39.960
<v Speaker 5>does sort of see him have that kind of started

266
00:14:40.000 --> 00:14:40.919
<v Speaker 5>as acte one?

267
00:14:41.320 --> 00:14:42.000
<v Speaker 3>No, it was.

268
00:14:42.039 --> 00:14:46.000
<v Speaker 4>It was good and it's not surprising. I don't know

269
00:14:46.039 --> 00:14:48.279
<v Speaker 4>his entire track record, but I know he's pitched in

270
00:14:48.360 --> 00:14:51.200
<v Speaker 4>some big ball games and for him to go out there,

271
00:14:51.480 --> 00:14:54.320
<v Speaker 4>you know, with a workman like kind of mindset and

272
00:14:54.440 --> 00:14:57.279
<v Speaker 4>execute pitches and certainly the moment's not going to get

273
00:14:57.279 --> 00:14:59.759
<v Speaker 4>too big for him. So yeah, that's a little preview

274
00:14:59.759 --> 00:15:02.200
<v Speaker 4>of what's to come. And it was, you know, a

275
00:15:02.240 --> 00:15:03.240
<v Speaker 4>playoff that atmosphere.

276
00:15:03.519 --> 00:15:07.720
<v Speaker 2>All right, there's Dave Roberts high praise for Jack Flaherty

277
00:15:07.759 --> 00:15:10.080
<v Speaker 2>and the job he did today helping out the bullpen

278
00:15:10.120 --> 00:15:13.440
<v Speaker 2>by pitching into the sixth inning and also to show

279
00:15:13.440 --> 00:15:17.279
<v Speaker 2>that aggressiveness that I talked about, to show that mentality

280
00:15:17.279 --> 00:15:19.600
<v Speaker 2>out of the mound and wanting to finish that sixth

281
00:15:19.600 --> 00:15:21.799
<v Speaker 2>inning and going out in battling, striking out the side

282
00:15:21.799 --> 00:15:25.440
<v Speaker 2>in the second inning, I'll beeat on thirteen pitches and

283
00:15:25.559 --> 00:15:27.519
<v Speaker 2>to go out and get the win. Into what he's

284
00:15:27.600 --> 00:15:30.559
<v Speaker 2>done now in five starts, what is he four and

285
00:15:30.679 --> 00:15:33.919
<v Speaker 2>one now as a Dodger starter, Pretty darn impressive, and

286
00:15:34.080 --> 00:15:36.879
<v Speaker 2>I'm excited to see what he can do come October eight, six,

287
00:15:36.919 --> 00:15:38.519
<v Speaker 2>sixth nine, eighty seven, two five seven. You we'll take

289

290
00:15:43.320 --> 00:15:45.960
<v Speaker 2>big day today, a couple of home runs.

291
00:15:45.679 --> 00:15:46.360
<v Speaker 3>Five Ribby's.

292

306
00:16:24.720 --> 00:16:26.320
<v Speaker 3>Freeman swings hits a drive.

307
00:16:26.840 --> 00:16:30.039
<v Speaker 1>Dape Wright center this boss pack and it is car

308
00:16:30.559 --> 00:16:31.240
<v Speaker 1>home run.

309
00:16:31.919 --> 00:16:35.639
<v Speaker 4>He's second of the ball game, and the Dodgers wait.

310
00:16:35.720 --> 00:16:41.000
<v Speaker 2>At ten to three, Freddie Freeman, have yourself an afternoon.

311
00:16:41.200 --> 00:16:44.320
<v Speaker 2>Two home runs five Ribby's as the Dodgers beat the

312
00:16:44.360 --> 00:16:47.960
<v Speaker 2>Diamondbacks eleven to six. Daniels Jewelers is the official sponsor

317
00:16:58.840 --> 00:17:02.559

318
00:17:02.600 --> 00:17:06.119
<v Speaker 2>now at eighty three and fifty five. They'll have six

319
00:17:06.160 --> 00:17:08.960
<v Speaker 2>game lead over Arizona as we speak, five and a

320
00:17:09.000 --> 00:17:11.799
<v Speaker 2>half game lead over San Diego as they take on

321
00:17:11.839 --> 00:17:12.480
<v Speaker 2>the Tigers.

322
00:17:12.559 --> 00:17:12.880
<v Speaker 3>Right now.

323
00:17:12.920 --> 00:17:15.400
<v Speaker 2>The Padres in the bottom half of the eighth Indiana

324
00:17:15.480 --> 00:17:18.079
<v Speaker 2>Petco Park. So if that holds, the Dodgers will be

325
00:17:18.119 --> 00:17:21.640
<v Speaker 2>five games up on Manny Machado and the Padres.

326
00:17:21.680 --> 00:17:23.359
<v Speaker 3>Let's go out to the phones. Thanks for being patient.

327
00:17:23.440 --> 00:17:25.960
<v Speaker 2>Let's go to Brian in Pointa Park here on Dodger

328
00:17:26.000 --> 00:17:27.319
<v Speaker 2>Talk on this Labor Day Monday.

329
00:17:27.359 --> 00:17:30.920
<v Speaker 3>Hi Brian, Hi, how's it going? Doing great? How are

330
00:17:30.920 --> 00:17:31.319
<v Speaker 3>you today?

331
00:17:31.920 --> 00:17:34.839
<v Speaker 7>Saying thanks? You know, I'm just wondering. It's September now

332
00:17:35.240 --> 00:17:38.799
<v Speaker 7>and the minor leaguers are coming up, and I just

333
00:17:38.799 --> 00:17:42.920
<v Speaker 7>talk about James Elman. Has they lost confidence in James Elvin.

334
00:17:43.119 --> 00:17:45.240
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if they've lost confidence, and I appreciate

335
00:17:45.279 --> 00:17:48.279
<v Speaker 2>the phone call, Brian. I certainly certainly think they've don't

336
00:17:48.319 --> 00:17:49.079
<v Speaker 2>have room.

337
00:17:48.920 --> 00:17:51.640
<v Speaker 3>For James Outman right now. Andy pa has.

338
00:17:51.880 --> 00:17:55.359
<v Speaker 2>Got the nod to come up from Triple A, Oklahoma City.

339
00:17:55.920 --> 00:17:59.799
<v Speaker 2>And just a reminder, it's September and rosters expand, but

340
00:18:00.000 --> 00:18:02.400
<v Speaker 2>they don't expand like they used to. You may be

341
00:18:02.559 --> 00:18:04.920
<v Speaker 2>used to the days in which roster's expanded you can

342
00:18:04.960 --> 00:18:07.000
<v Speaker 2>bring up everybody on your forty man roster.

343
00:18:07.640 --> 00:18:08.680
<v Speaker 3>Just not the case anymore.

344
00:18:08.799 --> 00:18:11.920
<v Speaker 2>You got twenty six man roster until September first, and

345
00:18:12.000 --> 00:18:14.440
<v Speaker 2>then you can add two more players, a position player

346
00:18:14.480 --> 00:18:17.400
<v Speaker 2>and a pitcher to your roster to get to twenty eight.

347
00:18:18.200 --> 00:18:18.519
<v Speaker 3>That's it.

348
00:18:19.480 --> 00:18:23.720
<v Speaker 2>The days of bringing up everybody and having a long

349
00:18:23.920 --> 00:18:27.319
<v Speaker 2>bench and having a crowded clubhouse, those days are done.

350
00:18:27.400 --> 00:18:30.960
<v Speaker 2>The last collective bargaining agreement that changed between the players

351
00:18:31.039 --> 00:18:33.319
<v Speaker 2>and the owners, and so now you only get to

352
00:18:33.400 --> 00:18:36.440
<v Speaker 2>twenty eight man roster for September. So I think if

353
00:18:36.480 --> 00:18:38.880
<v Speaker 2>there was the old days of having an expanded rosters

354
00:18:38.920 --> 00:18:40.519
<v Speaker 2>and you can bring up everybody on your forty man

355
00:18:40.759 --> 00:18:43.119
<v Speaker 2>with the minor league seasons ending here this first week

356
00:18:43.160 --> 00:18:46.000
<v Speaker 2>of September, certainly James Allen would be called up. But

357
00:18:46.160 --> 00:18:48.319
<v Speaker 2>just as we speak right now, when you've got Kevin

358
00:18:48.440 --> 00:18:51.079
<v Speaker 2>Kiermeyer and you've got a full outfield as it is,

359
00:18:51.480 --> 00:18:53.640
<v Speaker 2>and Tommy Edmonds who can play center field, and Andy

360
00:18:53.680 --> 00:18:56.759
<v Speaker 2>Potts who can play outfield, there's just no room in

361
00:18:56.799 --> 00:19:00.079
<v Speaker 2>the end for James Outman, unfortunately, as he continues to

362
00:19:00.119 --> 00:19:02.680
<v Speaker 2>play down in Triple A Oklahoma City. Congratulations to him

363
00:19:02.680 --> 00:19:04.279
<v Speaker 2>and his wife on the birth that they're into baby

364
00:19:04.880 --> 00:19:08.319
<v Speaker 2>in the last week, so congratulations to them. We haven't

365
00:19:08.319 --> 00:19:10.519
<v Speaker 2>seen the last of James Altman, no doubt about it.

366
00:19:10.640 --> 00:19:14.160
<v Speaker 2>But right now there's just not enough space for James Almen.

367
00:19:14.319 --> 00:19:17.160
<v Speaker 2>We've talked about this here on Dodger Talk for the

368
00:19:17.240 --> 00:19:19.559
<v Speaker 2>last month. We're gonna get to a point in this

369
00:19:19.640 --> 00:19:24.480
<v Speaker 2>season where everybody gets healthy arms and position players and

370
00:19:24.839 --> 00:19:27.000
<v Speaker 2>guys who are being counted on, guys who have played

371
00:19:27.039 --> 00:19:29.559
<v Speaker 2>extensive innings just aren't going to be there anymore. Nick

372
00:19:29.640 --> 00:19:32.359
<v Speaker 2>on Meds a casualty. They signed him because of necessity,

373
00:19:32.799 --> 00:19:36.440
<v Speaker 2>no longer with the team. Calvin Biegio was brought in

374
00:19:36.680 --> 00:19:39.359
<v Speaker 2>and did okay to help this Dodgers during this stretch

375
00:19:39.400 --> 00:19:41.839
<v Speaker 2>in which Mookie Betts was out and Miguel Rojas was

376
00:19:41.920 --> 00:19:44.200
<v Speaker 2>hurt no longer with the team. You look at this

377
00:19:44.279 --> 00:19:47.480
<v Speaker 2>outfield situation now with Jason Hayward gone, Mookie Betts is

378
00:19:47.519 --> 00:19:50.519
<v Speaker 2>your right fielder, Tiascar Hernandez is your left fielder. That

379
00:19:50.680 --> 00:19:53.119
<v Speaker 2>leaves one spot in the outfield every day or two

380
00:19:53.160 --> 00:19:57.119
<v Speaker 2>out of every three games of a series. That's Kevin Kiermeyer,

381
00:19:57.599 --> 00:20:01.599
<v Speaker 2>that's Tommy Edmonds, or that is Andy Payaz. Just no

382
00:20:01.759 --> 00:20:04.119
<v Speaker 2>room in the outfield. Do you think about the infield spot?

383
00:20:04.519 --> 00:20:07.240
<v Speaker 2>Max Munty, Gavin Lux did even play today and they

384
00:20:07.319 --> 00:20:10.880
<v Speaker 2>scored eleven runs on seventeen hits. Didn't play because at

385
00:20:10.880 --> 00:20:13.559
<v Speaker 2>Wardo Rodriguez, the left hander, got the start, and you didn't.

386
00:20:13.960 --> 00:20:15.400
<v Speaker 2>You didn't have that many left handed bats in the

387
00:20:15.440 --> 00:20:19.920
<v Speaker 2>lineup outside of Freddie Freeman. So again, it's just the

388
00:20:20.079 --> 00:20:22.640
<v Speaker 2>numbers game, and if you're the Dodgers, it's a great

389
00:20:22.799 --> 00:20:25.400
<v Speaker 2>problem to have. There are teams across baseball right now

390
00:20:25.640 --> 00:20:28.119
<v Speaker 2>that don't have twenty six guys on the roster that

391
00:20:28.200 --> 00:20:30.400
<v Speaker 2>they can count on. They don't have twenty guys on

392
00:20:30.440 --> 00:20:32.240
<v Speaker 2>their roster that they can count on, don't have enough

393
00:20:32.240 --> 00:20:35.039
<v Speaker 2>position players that they can count on. The Dodgers have

394
00:20:35.160 --> 00:20:39.279
<v Speaker 2>an abundance of talent and players that they've relied upon,

395
00:20:39.599 --> 00:20:42.400
<v Speaker 2>and now that they're all healthy, we're seeing some guys

396
00:20:42.480 --> 00:20:44.559
<v Speaker 2>left off the roster, some guys back in triple A,

397
00:20:44.720 --> 00:20:47.839
<v Speaker 2>some guys gone altogether dfaight, because there's just not enough

398
00:20:47.960 --> 00:20:50.720
<v Speaker 2>roster spots eight six, six, nine, eighty seven, two five seventy. Man,

399
00:20:50.799 --> 00:20:53.279
<v Speaker 2>Well and Guardina, how you doing, Buddy the.

400
00:20:53.640 --> 00:20:58.640
<v Speaker 8>Artist of scam who is not a scam artist? Red State,

401
00:20:59.160 --> 00:21:03.279
<v Speaker 8>Tim Caite, the mother loving Wall much love.

402
00:21:03.440 --> 00:21:08.839
<v Speaker 9>Hey, Dodgers are hitting on all cylinders right now, other

403
00:21:08.920 --> 00:21:12.039
<v Speaker 9>than we can usually green in the bullpen.

404
00:21:13.799 --> 00:21:16.160
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, showed up.

405
00:21:16.720 --> 00:21:19.480
<v Speaker 9>They showed up this week.

406
00:21:20.559 --> 00:21:24.240
<v Speaker 8>That was to me a playoff series because we know

407
00:21:25.039 --> 00:21:30.279
<v Speaker 8>how it's gone against Arizona of late and San Diego,

408
00:21:30.480 --> 00:21:31.519
<v Speaker 8>so they got to show up.

409
00:21:31.440 --> 00:21:34.440
<v Speaker 9>Against San Diego too, and they got to carry it

410
00:21:34.519 --> 00:21:38.279
<v Speaker 9>through this year. No more September flame outs. But this

411
00:21:38.519 --> 00:21:41.000
<v Speaker 9>is good for them, man, they have this stress to

412
00:21:41.160 --> 00:21:44.359
<v Speaker 9>have this going, and I think we're getting.

413
00:21:44.119 --> 00:21:45.079
<v Speaker 8>Healthy at the right time.

414
00:21:45.200 --> 00:21:52.119
<v Speaker 9>Tim Go Dodgers World mother at being champions all right.

415
00:21:52.519 --> 00:21:53.599
<v Speaker 3>Man, Well, appreciate it.

416
00:21:53.680 --> 00:21:56.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they're getting healthy at the right time and they're

417
00:21:56.519 --> 00:21:58.599
<v Speaker 2>going to continue to get healthy. With the additions of

418
00:21:58.680 --> 00:22:02.119
<v Speaker 2>three more arms come back here hopefully soon a Yamamoto,

419
00:22:02.200 --> 00:22:05.079
<v Speaker 2>Bruce Dear Garaderol Clayton kers shot, make that four arms

420
00:22:05.119 --> 00:22:08.160
<v Speaker 2>and then you add in of course, uh Tyler Glass

421
00:22:08.200 --> 00:22:10.680
<v Speaker 2>now as well. All right, let's head back out to Arizona.

422
00:22:10.720 --> 00:22:12.759
<v Speaker 2>What a big day for Freddie Freeman, two home runs,

423
00:22:12.960 --> 00:22:14.839
<v Speaker 2>five ribbises. Let's see what he has to say postgame.

424
00:22:15.079 --> 00:22:18.359
<v Speaker 6>How big of when is this for you to not

425
00:22:18.519 --> 00:22:21.039
<v Speaker 6>only you know, beat them today, but obviously extend your

426
00:22:21.119 --> 00:22:22.960
<v Speaker 6>lead to six games and have the tiebreaker.

427
00:22:23.160 --> 00:22:25.440
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, that's nice, And obviously at the start of September,

428
00:22:25.680 --> 00:22:27.359
<v Speaker 5>I think everyone kind of checks where the standings are.

429
00:22:27.480 --> 00:22:29.880
<v Speaker 5>But when you play a series when you don't have

430
00:22:30.720 --> 00:22:33.440
<v Speaker 5>Christian Walker, katl Marte, Gabriel Moreno, you got to try

431
00:22:33.480 --> 00:22:35.640
<v Speaker 5>and take advantage of that. And as an offense we

432
00:22:35.720 --> 00:22:37.880
<v Speaker 5>did a good job against their tough pitching and as

433
00:22:37.960 --> 00:22:39.519
<v Speaker 5>a as a whole, this was just a good series.

434
00:22:39.559 --> 00:22:39.680
<v Speaker 1>Man.

435
00:22:39.920 --> 00:22:42.720
<v Speaker 6>Did you think you got your feelback at the plate

436
00:22:43.359 --> 00:22:45.599
<v Speaker 6>with these three or four days off, because obviously the

437
00:22:45.680 --> 00:22:46.359
<v Speaker 6>results were there.

438
00:22:46.480 --> 00:22:47.839
<v Speaker 5>I was just been able to be able to do

439
00:22:47.960 --> 00:22:50.839
<v Speaker 5>my routine and work. That's There's not doing anything different

440
00:22:50.839 --> 00:22:53.359
<v Speaker 5>I've just been able to practice before games. Wasn't able

441
00:22:53.400 --> 00:22:55.440
<v Speaker 5>to do that last week, so I don't know. I

442
00:22:55.640 --> 00:22:58.000
<v Speaker 5>would take the three or four days off and say, yeah,

443
00:22:58.079 --> 00:22:59.960
<v Speaker 5>I hoped because my finger doesn't hurt as bad as

444
00:23:00.039 --> 00:23:03.240
<v Speaker 5>it did last week. So ultimately it was a second

445
00:23:03.519 --> 00:23:04.680
<v Speaker 5>do my routine before games?

446
00:23:05.000 --> 00:23:06.119
<v Speaker 1>Are you back to your four route?

447
00:23:06.440 --> 00:23:06.640
<v Speaker 6>Yeah?

448
00:23:06.759 --> 00:23:07.160
<v Speaker 1>Been back.

449
00:23:07.759 --> 00:23:09.480
<v Speaker 3>I think the stable as our presence was it to

474
00:24:02.359 --> 00:24:05.880
<v Speaker 10>I've rather didn't been taking three ol for them then

475

495
00:25:01.599 --> 00:25:04.640
<v Speaker 2>back of the Dodgers with twenty four to play. With

496
00:25:04.759 --> 00:25:07.960
<v Speaker 2>the loss to day the Diamondbacks, they fall six games

497
00:25:08.039 --> 00:25:10.799
