<v Speaker 2>We are live from Angels Stadium for the final time

6
00:00:20.600 --> 00:00:25.160
<v Speaker 2>in twenty twenty four, as the Halos defeat the Dodgers

00:00:25.199 --> 00:00:28.879
<v Speaker 2>by a final score of ten to one. Welcome to

10
00:00:37.200 --> 00:00:41.479
<v Speaker 2>seven two five seventy. A disappointing night for Bobby Miller.

11
00:00:41.520 --> 00:00:45.159
<v Speaker 2>No way to slice it, giving up five runs before

12
00:00:45.159 --> 00:00:48.000
<v Speaker 2>he got the first out in the first inning, and

13
00:00:48.200 --> 00:00:51.719
<v Speaker 2>that is an issue, and him giving up three more

14
00:00:51.799 --> 00:00:56.039
<v Speaker 2>home runs also an issue, something that he has been

15
00:00:56.119 --> 00:00:59.719
<v Speaker 2>trying to stop from happening, but hasn't had a lot

16
00:00:59.719 --> 00:01:02.159
<v Speaker 2>of success.

17
00:01:01.159 --> 00:01:03.000
<v Speaker 3>In doing so this season.

18
00:01:03.640 --> 00:01:07.599
<v Speaker 2>And you know, for Bobby Miller, you felt somewhat encouraged

19
00:01:08.079 --> 00:01:11.799
<v Speaker 2>after his outing against the Orioles, a very good hitting

20
00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:16.959
<v Speaker 2>team at Dodger Stadium, despite battling a sore left knee.

21
00:01:17.719 --> 00:01:21.840
<v Speaker 2>But tonight was definitely a step backwards for Bobby Miller,

22
00:01:21.959 --> 00:01:26.319
<v Speaker 2>who got beat by an offense that is not very

23
00:01:26.359 --> 00:01:30.760
<v Speaker 2>good number one and even worse against right handed pitching.

24
00:01:31.359 --> 00:01:34.079
<v Speaker 3>And he gave up seven runs to that lineup.

25
00:01:34.400 --> 00:01:38.400
<v Speaker 2>And like I mentioned last night, Walker Buehler coming out

26
00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:42.000
<v Speaker 2>doing his thing giving up two solo home runs was encouraging,

27
00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:46.200
<v Speaker 2>especially against a lineup like this, But for Bobby Miller

28
00:01:46.359 --> 00:01:49.159
<v Speaker 2>to give up seven runs to a lineup like this

29
00:01:49.519 --> 00:01:54.920
<v Speaker 2>is even more disappointing. Bobby Miller now has surrendered fifteen

30
00:01:55.159 --> 00:01:58.599
<v Speaker 2>home runs and only fifty innings pitched.

31
00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:00.760
<v Speaker 3>That will not get it done.

32
00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:04.640
<v Speaker 2>Bobby knows that, the Dodgers know that, and it's been

33
00:02:04.680 --> 00:02:08.280
<v Speaker 2>a disappointing season. It's been a season marred with injury.

34
00:02:08.759 --> 00:02:11.479
<v Speaker 2>It's been a season marred with him battling a left

35
00:02:11.560 --> 00:02:14.840
<v Speaker 2>knee issue that you know, Who's to say it wasn't

36
00:02:14.840 --> 00:02:15.879
<v Speaker 2>bothering him tonight.

37
00:02:15.919 --> 00:02:17.199
<v Speaker 3>Who's to say he's not.

38
00:02:17.319 --> 00:02:21.159
<v Speaker 2>Following through on his pitches because he's concerned about putting

39
00:02:21.199 --> 00:02:25.039
<v Speaker 2>too much pressure on that left knee. That's not an excuse,

40
00:02:25.159 --> 00:02:29.439
<v Speaker 2>that's reality. And the question has to be asked, how

41
00:02:29.479 --> 00:02:33.039
<v Speaker 2>many more starts is Bobby Miller going to make the

42
00:02:33.080 --> 00:02:35.759
<v Speaker 2>rest of this season. You heard Dave Roberts say it

43
00:02:36.080 --> 00:02:38.479
<v Speaker 2>he's going to make another one, but it feels like

44
00:02:38.599 --> 00:02:42.639
<v Speaker 2>he's making that next one out of necessity because the

45
00:02:42.719 --> 00:02:45.680
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers don't have anybody else as they try to protect

46
00:02:45.759 --> 00:02:50.599
<v Speaker 2>Yamamoto and also try to, you know, protect Jack Flaherty

47
00:02:51.199 --> 00:02:54.000
<v Speaker 2>and also the rest of this rotation to be as

48
00:02:54.080 --> 00:02:58.360
<v Speaker 2>fresh as possible for the postseason. You got Gavin Stone

49
00:02:58.400 --> 00:03:02.120
<v Speaker 2>going into uncharted arrt throwing more games and innings than

50
00:03:02.520 --> 00:03:05.960
<v Speaker 2>anyone thought he would and the most he has ever

51
00:03:06.039 --> 00:03:10.199
<v Speaker 2>done in his season. So that is the reason why

52
00:03:10.240 --> 00:03:14.479
<v Speaker 2>Bobby Miller is going to start next Wednesday against the Cubs.

53
00:03:14.879 --> 00:03:17.520
<v Speaker 2>If the Dodgers had a healthy glass Now or a

54
00:03:17.560 --> 00:03:21.520
<v Speaker 2>built up Yamamoto, or if Clayton Kershaw did not have

55
00:03:21.599 --> 00:03:24.719
<v Speaker 2>turf toew, I don't believe you would see Bobby Miller

56
00:03:24.800 --> 00:03:27.439
<v Speaker 2>next week, and I'm not sure you would see Bobby

57
00:03:27.439 --> 00:03:30.759
<v Speaker 2>Miller the rest of the season. And I'm not saying

58
00:03:30.840 --> 00:03:34.000
<v Speaker 2>that just because of performance that's at the top of

59
00:03:34.039 --> 00:03:37.080
<v Speaker 2>the list. But like I said, do we know how

60
00:03:37.159 --> 00:03:40.039
<v Speaker 2>healthy Bobby Miller is feeling when he takes the mound.

61
00:03:40.599 --> 00:03:42.719
<v Speaker 2>I know he's out there, and I know the Dodgers

62
00:03:42.800 --> 00:03:47.360
<v Speaker 2>are always super cautious with their players, but maybe he's

63
00:03:47.400 --> 00:03:49.840
<v Speaker 2>not being as transparent as he should be with the

64
00:03:49.919 --> 00:03:53.960
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers on how he's feeling out there, and maybe you know,

65
00:03:54.000 --> 00:03:56.599
<v Speaker 2>he feels well enough to go out there, but it's

66
00:03:56.639 --> 00:04:00.240
<v Speaker 2>affecting his mechanics if he's trying to protect that left me.

67
00:04:00.800 --> 00:04:03.479
<v Speaker 2>So all of those things are in play on why

68
00:04:03.560 --> 00:04:08.639
<v Speaker 2>I believe the Dodgers may consider shutting down Bobby Miller

69
00:04:08.680 --> 00:04:11.719
<v Speaker 2>if things don't go well next Wednesday night against the Cubs,

70
00:04:11.879 --> 00:04:14.719
<v Speaker 2>or if his left knee is still giving him issues.

71
00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:18.160
<v Speaker 2>Eight six, six, nine, seven, two five seventy is the

72
00:04:18.160 --> 00:04:21.480
<v Speaker 2>phone number. Let's head downstairs to the Dodger clubhouse to

73
00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:24.600
<v Speaker 2>hear from Bobby Miller on sports at LA.

74
00:04:24.600 --> 00:04:28.160
<v Speaker 4>It's kind of hard to put into words, but you know, recently,

75
00:04:28.199 --> 00:04:30.319
<v Speaker 4>I've been feeling really good, and I still felt really

76
00:04:30.319 --> 00:04:34.240
<v Speaker 4>good today. That's the first inning. There's a lot of

77
00:04:34.240 --> 00:04:39.839
<v Speaker 4>good in there, a couple of good fastball hitters, just

78
00:04:39.839 --> 00:04:41.839
<v Speaker 4>a couple of bad pitch selections.

79
00:04:43.720 --> 00:04:43.920
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

80
00:04:43.920 --> 00:04:45.480
<v Speaker 4>I could go back and look and be like, yeah,

81
00:04:45.519 --> 00:04:48.079
<v Speaker 4>I threw those balls in the corner. But you know,

82
00:04:48.680 --> 00:04:51.040
<v Speaker 4>there are some good fastball hitters and just through the

83
00:04:51.079 --> 00:04:53.839
<v Speaker 4>wrong pitch at the wrong time. They just put some

84
00:04:53.879 --> 00:04:56.759
<v Speaker 4>good swings on some not really bad.

85
00:04:56.600 --> 00:04:57.839
<v Speaker 1>Pitches, you Loo conches.

86
00:04:57.920 --> 00:05:02.040
<v Speaker 6>I guess after the two innings you're finding some more

87
00:05:02.040 --> 00:05:05.360
<v Speaker 6>success really efficient what I guess adjustments did you make

88
00:05:05.399 --> 00:05:07.600
<v Speaker 6>there in the moment to get those results?

89
00:05:08.040 --> 00:05:08.240
<v Speaker 5>Yeah?

90
00:05:08.279 --> 00:05:11.319
<v Speaker 4>Really, just after the three run homer, I seem to

91
00:05:11.480 --> 00:05:14.160
<v Speaker 4>really lock it back in. I wush it wouldn't take

92
00:05:14.480 --> 00:05:16.839
<v Speaker 4>a home run to get locked back in each time.

93
00:05:19.120 --> 00:05:22.040
<v Speaker 4>It really just they couldn't adjust it to chain up today,

94
00:05:22.120 --> 00:05:24.120
<v Speaker 4>and I just started using it a little bit too late.

95
00:05:24.399 --> 00:05:26.160
<v Speaker 4>And if I used a little bit earlier, I think

96
00:05:26.160 --> 00:05:28.319
<v Speaker 4>things would have gone a lot differently, and I would

97
00:05:28.319 --> 00:05:31.759
<v Speaker 4>have gone really really deep into the game. But right

98
00:05:31.800 --> 00:05:34.600
<v Speaker 4>now I just got to focus sound the good. Really

99
00:05:34.639 --> 00:05:37.279
<v Speaker 4>just watched that because at the end of the day,

100
00:05:37.279 --> 00:05:38.879
<v Speaker 4>after that three on homer, there there was a lot

101
00:05:38.920 --> 00:05:41.800
<v Speaker 4>of good besides just a couple of really good swings.

102
00:05:41.959 --> 00:05:42.920
<v Speaker 3>What do you think it was much?

103
00:05:43.000 --> 00:05:43.319
<v Speaker 5>Prescribe?

104
00:05:43.360 --> 00:05:45.639
<v Speaker 2>It was it just sort of being so fastball alive

105
00:05:45.720 --> 00:05:48.279
<v Speaker 2>earlier or a little bit.

106
00:05:48.480 --> 00:05:50.279
<v Speaker 4>You know, a couple of hitters obviously fell behind the

107
00:05:50.319 --> 00:05:52.279
<v Speaker 4>account and they're obviously looking for a fastball, So it

108
00:05:52.480 --> 00:05:54.480
<v Speaker 4>doesn't matter where I throw, they're gonna put a good

109
00:05:54.480 --> 00:05:57.519
<v Speaker 4>swing on it. And just unfortunately it went over the fence.

110
00:05:58.439 --> 00:06:02.519
<v Speaker 4>That seems to be the story lately. Yeah, didn't put

111
00:06:02.519 --> 00:06:04.040
<v Speaker 4>it in a really bad spot, but at the same

112
00:06:04.040 --> 00:06:06.759
<v Speaker 4>time as kind of in their nitro zone where they

113
00:06:06.839 --> 00:06:09.000
<v Speaker 4>hit the fastballs right right through it. I was aiming

114
00:06:09.040 --> 00:06:10.959
<v Speaker 4>somewhere else and just missed my spot.

115
00:06:11.199 --> 00:06:14.160
<v Speaker 2>All right, there's Bobby Miller, and I think Bobby needs

116
00:06:14.199 --> 00:06:16.279
<v Speaker 2>to be a little bit more honest with himself. You

117
00:06:16.279 --> 00:06:18.920
<v Speaker 2>can't stay on one hand, you made good pitches and

118
00:06:18.959 --> 00:06:21.040
<v Speaker 2>then you say, well, I threw it in their nitro

119
00:06:21.199 --> 00:06:22.800
<v Speaker 2>zone and couldn't command the pitch.

120
00:06:23.120 --> 00:06:24.519
<v Speaker 3>That just doesn't add up.

121
00:06:24.560 --> 00:06:28.079
<v Speaker 2>I'm sorry, and nobody loves Bobby Miller more than me,

122
00:06:28.279 --> 00:06:29.879
<v Speaker 2>but that just doesn't add up.

123
00:06:29.959 --> 00:06:31.360
<v Speaker 3>And yeah, you could.

124
00:06:31.279 --> 00:06:33.920
<v Speaker 2>Say you locked it in after the three run home

125
00:06:34.000 --> 00:06:37.000
<v Speaker 2>run a Mickey moniac, but by that time it's five nothing,

126
00:06:37.360 --> 00:06:39.480
<v Speaker 2>and then he gave up another home run to the

127
00:06:39.560 --> 00:06:43.480
<v Speaker 2>number nine hitter who was hitting OH seventy nine coming

128
00:06:43.519 --> 00:06:48.120
<v Speaker 2>into the game tonight, Nico Cavadas, and I can feel

129
00:06:48.240 --> 00:06:51.399
<v Speaker 2>very confident in saying I've never heard of him before tonight.

130
00:06:52.360 --> 00:06:56.279
<v Speaker 2>He was the Angel's DH hitting ninth, hitting O seventy nine,

131
00:06:56.600 --> 00:06:58.800
<v Speaker 2>and Bobby Miller gave up a home run to him.

132
00:06:59.199 --> 00:07:03.879
<v Speaker 2>I don't know how you justify that or really find

133
00:07:03.920 --> 00:07:06.199
<v Speaker 2>a way to justify it to yourself.

134
00:07:06.319 --> 00:07:10.519
<v Speaker 3>So, look, I disagree with Bobby.

135
00:07:10.560 --> 00:07:14.560
<v Speaker 2>He made bad pitches in that inning, and look, he

136
00:07:14.639 --> 00:07:17.319
<v Speaker 2>walked the first hitter, then he hit the second batter.

137
00:07:17.839 --> 00:07:19.879
<v Speaker 2>A lot of times you hear pitchers that have a

138
00:07:19.920 --> 00:07:22.319
<v Speaker 2>lot of experience talk about it's not so much the

139
00:07:22.360 --> 00:07:25.839
<v Speaker 2>home run, but what took place before. So instead of

140
00:07:25.879 --> 00:07:28.720
<v Speaker 2>a solo home run, it's a three run home run

141
00:07:28.759 --> 00:07:29.199
<v Speaker 2>and you're.

142
00:07:29.079 --> 00:07:30.079
<v Speaker 3>Down five to nothing.

143
00:07:30.680 --> 00:07:33.560
<v Speaker 2>I just feel like Bobby and the Dodgers need to

144
00:07:33.800 --> 00:07:38.000
<v Speaker 2>really take some inventory on which direction the rest of

145
00:07:38.040 --> 00:07:40.519
<v Speaker 2>the season is going to go for him. And I

146
00:07:40.600 --> 00:07:44.399
<v Speaker 2>know we have talked about this and others have said this,

147
00:07:44.480 --> 00:07:48.079
<v Speaker 2>but I really do believe Wednesday is a big start

148
00:07:48.079 --> 00:07:52.120
<v Speaker 2>for Bobby Miller because after Wednesday, the Dodgers should be

149
00:07:52.160 --> 00:07:56.360
<v Speaker 2>getting Tyler Glass now back sooner rather than later, and

150
00:07:56.399 --> 00:07:59.519
<v Speaker 2>Walker Bueller is only getting better and Landon Nak is

151
00:07:59.560 --> 00:08:02.399
<v Speaker 2>now in the So you know, I want to see

152
00:08:02.399 --> 00:08:05.079
<v Speaker 2>Bobby do well, but I don't want to see Bobby

153
00:08:05.079 --> 00:08:09.399
<v Speaker 2>Miller go out there if he feels like his lower

154
00:08:09.519 --> 00:08:11.399
<v Speaker 2>half is not cooperating.

155
00:08:11.439 --> 00:08:12.720
<v Speaker 3>And it's compromising.

156
00:08:13.279 --> 00:08:17.199
<v Speaker 2>Uh, the execution of his pitches eight six six nine,

157
00:08:17.240 --> 00:08:20.279
<v Speaker 2>eight seven two five seventy is the phone number. Let's

158
00:08:20.279 --> 00:08:23.279
<v Speaker 2>go out to Tim and plush Centsha. You're on Dodger

159
00:08:23.319 --> 00:08:24.800
<v Speaker 2>Talk with David vasse Hi.

160
00:08:24.839 --> 00:08:28.360
<v Speaker 7>Tim, Hey, Dave always, I'm doing well. What do you

161
00:08:28.399 --> 00:08:31.319
<v Speaker 7>got awesome? I kind of had a two party regarding

162
00:08:31.319 --> 00:08:34.799
<v Speaker 7>Bobby Miller. You know, one, obviously, the the start was

163
00:08:34.799 --> 00:08:37.320
<v Speaker 7>pretty horrific, but it just kind of felt like Dave

164
00:08:37.399 --> 00:08:39.279
<v Speaker 7>Roberts had no choice but to kind of keep going

165
00:08:39.320 --> 00:08:40.879
<v Speaker 7>it back out there just so he didn't have to

166
00:08:41.279 --> 00:08:43.759
<v Speaker 7>you know that early again like the Arizona series, go

167
00:08:43.799 --> 00:08:45.679
<v Speaker 7>to the bullten and tax a bunch of guys that

168
00:08:45.679 --> 00:08:46.879
<v Speaker 7>can use some rest.

169
00:08:47.279 --> 00:08:47.919
<v Speaker 3>Well, that's the.

170
00:08:47.919 --> 00:08:51.399
<v Speaker 2>One thing I agree with with Bobby is that he

171
00:08:51.480 --> 00:08:54.480
<v Speaker 2>did kind of stabilize the game and not let it

172
00:08:54.600 --> 00:08:57.039
<v Speaker 2>get two out of hand early, so he was able

173
00:08:57.039 --> 00:08:59.240
<v Speaker 2>to go at least through five. So I will agree

174
00:08:59.240 --> 00:08:59.919
<v Speaker 2>with him on that.

175
00:09:00.600 --> 00:09:00.919
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

176
00:09:01.000 --> 00:09:04.159
<v Speaker 7>True. The other part, though, from like a catcher's perspective

177
00:09:04.159 --> 00:09:07.720
<v Speaker 7>for Austin Barnes, would be like, you know, it kind

178
00:09:07.720 --> 00:09:09.559
<v Speaker 7>of puts him in the buyd as far as pitch selection,

179
00:09:10.080 --> 00:09:12.120
<v Speaker 7>you know, trying to keep hitters off balance, knowing that

180
00:09:12.120 --> 00:09:14.559
<v Speaker 7>your starters just kind of serving up meatballs there in

181
00:09:14.559 --> 00:09:16.240
<v Speaker 7>the beginning. I just kind of wanted your thoughts on,

182
00:09:17.519 --> 00:09:20.200
<v Speaker 7>just maybe from Austin Barnes perspective, kind of how difficult

183
00:09:20.240 --> 00:09:22.960
<v Speaker 7>it get trying to keep guys off balance, pitch selection

184
00:09:23.000 --> 00:09:25.080
<v Speaker 7>and all that, just knowing that your guy doesn't have.

185
00:09:25.080 --> 00:09:26.120
<v Speaker 8>It that night.

186
00:09:26.960 --> 00:09:29.759
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, the good news about Austin Barnes from what I've

187
00:09:29.799 --> 00:09:33.240
<v Speaker 2>been told from other pitchers, is if something's not working,

188
00:09:33.279 --> 00:09:35.440
<v Speaker 2>he doesn't give up on that pitch. He comes back

189
00:09:35.480 --> 00:09:37.639
<v Speaker 2>to it. Maybe they should have came out with the

190
00:09:37.759 --> 00:09:40.799
<v Speaker 2>changeup more than what they did to start the game.

191
00:09:40.879 --> 00:09:44.360
<v Speaker 2>But at the end of the day, Bobby Miller cannot

192
00:09:44.360 --> 00:09:47.200
<v Speaker 2>get behind in counts. He's got to command his pitches

193
00:09:47.679 --> 00:09:50.879
<v Speaker 2>and throw pitches ahead in the count. I can't tell

194
00:09:50.879 --> 00:09:54.600
<v Speaker 2>you how many times I've heard from Mike Sosia and others.

195
00:09:55.000 --> 00:09:58.080
<v Speaker 2>When you're throwing pitches behind in the count, it makes

196
00:09:58.159 --> 00:10:00.399
<v Speaker 2>life a lot harder for you, no matter or who

197
00:10:00.480 --> 00:10:03.080
<v Speaker 2>you are. And that's why you see the really good

198
00:10:03.080 --> 00:10:06.759
<v Speaker 2>ones like Kershaw talk about strike one because they don't

199
00:10:06.799 --> 00:10:09.720
<v Speaker 2>want to have to make pitches behind.

200
00:10:09.320 --> 00:10:10.360
<v Speaker 3>In the count.

201
00:10:10.879 --> 00:10:11.879
<v Speaker 6>Awesome thanks Dave.

202
00:10:12.120 --> 00:10:13.720
<v Speaker 3>All right, Tim, thanks for the phone call.

203
00:10:13.879 --> 00:10:16.559
<v Speaker 2>Eight sixty six nine eighty seven two five seventy is

204
00:10:16.600 --> 00:10:18.840
<v Speaker 2>the phone number. Let's go out to Mark who is

205
00:10:18.879 --> 00:10:21.679
<v Speaker 2>at Angel Stadium tonight. Hi, Mark, You're on Dodger Talk.

206
00:10:22.240 --> 00:10:24.840
<v Speaker 5>Hye, Dave, Yeah, pretty disappointing.

207
00:10:25.279 --> 00:10:28.639
<v Speaker 3>You know, you should have been here.

208
00:10:29.399 --> 00:10:29.879
<v Speaker 9>Look it was.

209
00:10:31.320 --> 00:10:34.720
<v Speaker 10>I'm sorry, yeah, right, you should have been here last night. Well,

210
00:10:35.840 --> 00:10:38.759
<v Speaker 10>you know, I always, I always, I've been a fan

211
00:10:38.840 --> 00:10:43.639
<v Speaker 10>of the Dodgers since fifty nine, and I always kind

212
00:10:43.639 --> 00:10:46.399
<v Speaker 10>of feel like there's there's two Dodger teams, one that

213
00:10:46.440 --> 00:10:47.879
<v Speaker 10>shows up and one that doesn't.

214
00:10:48.639 --> 00:10:51.720
<v Speaker 5>Because it's not all Miller. I mean Miller just I mean,

215
00:10:51.720 --> 00:10:55.679
<v Speaker 5>he looked terrible out there, but all of our hitting

216
00:10:55.919 --> 00:10:58.279
<v Speaker 5>just I mean it didn't hardly go anywhere.

217
00:10:58.279 --> 00:11:01.360
<v Speaker 10>When when Pius came up, he hit that that I.

218
00:11:01.360 --> 00:11:03.120
<v Speaker 5>Thought it was going to be a home run or something,

219
00:11:03.600 --> 00:11:10.240
<v Speaker 5>and it just, you know, it just wasn't there, you know, And.

220
00:11:10.679 --> 00:11:12.919
<v Speaker 2>I know tonight's game, or can I just put it

221
00:11:13.000 --> 00:11:15.720
<v Speaker 2>into hold on for a second, Can I just put

222
00:11:15.759 --> 00:11:19.200
<v Speaker 2>it into perspective, Mark, who was at Angel Stadium tonight,

223
00:11:19.320 --> 00:11:22.200
<v Speaker 2>came here to see the Dodgers that have the best

224
00:11:22.240 --> 00:11:25.759
<v Speaker 2>record in baseball. They did not play that way, so

225
00:11:25.840 --> 00:11:29.519
<v Speaker 2>that's why you're even more upset. But if you were

226
00:11:29.519 --> 00:11:32.240
<v Speaker 2>at last night's game, you would be ecstatic. And also

227
00:11:32.399 --> 00:11:35.080
<v Speaker 2>keep in mind the Dodgers just came off an emotional

228
00:11:35.159 --> 00:11:38.919
<v Speaker 2>series against the Diamondbacks and were able to rally last night.

229
00:11:39.080 --> 00:11:42.120
<v Speaker 2>I'm not saying it's an excuse, but here they are

230
00:11:42.159 --> 00:11:45.799
<v Speaker 2>at the end of six in a row and playing basically.

231
00:11:45.240 --> 00:11:48.080
<v Speaker 3>For the division before they got here.

232
00:11:48.159 --> 00:11:51.000
<v Speaker 2>So I know it's disappointing when you pay for tickets

233
00:11:51.039 --> 00:11:54.120
<v Speaker 2>and the team doesn't perform to that level.

234
00:11:54.240 --> 00:11:56.679
<v Speaker 3>But I think all in all, the Dodgers had a

235
00:11:56.679 --> 00:11:58.320
<v Speaker 3>pretty good six game stretch here.

236
00:11:59.080 --> 00:12:03.320
<v Speaker 5>Actually, I'm not feeling sorry about the Dodgers. I watched

237
00:12:03.360 --> 00:12:07.039
<v Speaker 5>the game yesterday on the television. I was acstatic. I

238
00:12:07.159 --> 00:12:09.039
<v Speaker 5>was jumping up and down and Movie hits.

239
00:12:08.879 --> 00:12:09.559
<v Speaker 8>That home run.

240
00:12:14.000 --> 00:12:19.879
<v Speaker 5>It sounds just when you first sometimes.

241
00:12:17.679 --> 00:12:20.840
<v Speaker 7>Sometimes sometimes yes, sometimes.

242
00:12:20.480 --> 00:12:24.200
<v Speaker 5>That they just for instance, the offense tonight was flawed.

243
00:12:24.960 --> 00:12:27.919
<v Speaker 3>That's base they can't score six or seven.

244
00:12:30.799 --> 00:12:32.279
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, I know.

245
00:12:32.600 --> 00:12:33.559
<v Speaker 3>You stated a fact.

246
00:12:33.639 --> 00:12:36.799
<v Speaker 2>Yes, the offense wasn't great and they were down six

247
00:12:36.840 --> 00:12:40.039
<v Speaker 2>to nothing early. And Griffin Canning can pitch a lot

248
00:12:40.080 --> 00:12:42.240
<v Speaker 2>differently when he has a five to nothing lead.

249
00:12:44.480 --> 00:12:47.679
<v Speaker 5>I just have one last question for you. So in

250
00:12:47.799 --> 00:12:52.559
<v Speaker 5>July of last year, you said that you thought that

251
00:12:52.600 --> 00:12:57.720
<v Speaker 5>the Dodgers would win one hundred games, and it turns

252
00:12:57.720 --> 00:12:59.679
<v Speaker 5>out they won one hundred and ten. And so the

253
00:12:59.759 --> 00:13:03.120
<v Speaker 5>question today is how many how many games do you

254
00:13:03.159 --> 00:13:05.039
<v Speaker 5>think are gonna win before the end of the season.

255
00:13:06.559 --> 00:13:09.320
<v Speaker 2>Uh, well, it doesn't seem like they're on pace for

256
00:13:09.799 --> 00:13:13.240
<v Speaker 2>one hundred wins. In fact, they may have a worst

257
00:13:13.279 --> 00:13:16.960
<v Speaker 2>regular season record with sho Heyo Tani on the team.

258
00:13:17.000 --> 00:13:20.000
<v Speaker 2>But all that matters is what they do in October. Mark,

259
00:13:20.039 --> 00:13:23.000
<v Speaker 2>As you know, winning one hundred games, winning ninety five

260
00:13:23.039 --> 00:13:26.879
<v Speaker 2>games doesn't really matter at this point. All these guys

261
00:13:26.879 --> 00:13:29.559
<v Speaker 2>in that clubhouse know they're going to be judged by

262
00:13:30.000 --> 00:13:32.320
<v Speaker 2>whether or not they're able to be the last team

263
00:13:32.399 --> 00:13:33.600
<v Speaker 2>standing in October.

264
00:13:34.360 --> 00:13:37.879
<v Speaker 5>Correct. I agree completely. And by the way, I saw

265
00:13:37.960 --> 00:13:39.519
<v Speaker 5>Kofax fifty nine.

266
00:13:40.879 --> 00:13:45.240
<v Speaker 2>Granted, I bet that must have been amazing. Thank you

267
00:13:45.279 --> 00:13:47.840
<v Speaker 2>for the phone call. Not sure how that relates to

268
00:13:48.080 --> 00:13:51.279
<v Speaker 2>what happened tonight. Eight six six nine eighty seven two

269
00:13:51.360 --> 00:13:54.440
<v Speaker 2>five seventy is the phone number. I do appreciate the

270
00:13:54.440 --> 00:13:57.039
<v Speaker 2>phone call, and I love the longtime Dodger fans, that's

271
00:13:57.080 --> 00:14:00.919
<v Speaker 2>for sure. Eight six, six, nine eighty seven, seventy is

272
00:14:00.960 --> 00:14:04.440
<v Speaker 2>the phone number. Look, it's not gonna be there every night,

273
00:14:04.600 --> 00:14:07.639
<v Speaker 2>even with this Dodger team, and the complexion of this

274
00:14:07.759 --> 00:14:12.080
<v Speaker 2>game completely changed after that five run first inning. The

275
00:14:12.120 --> 00:14:15.000
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers were in an uphill climb. Griffin Canning was able

276
00:14:15.000 --> 00:14:17.879
<v Speaker 2>to throw strikes and not put too much pressure on

277
00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:21.200
<v Speaker 2>each and every pitch, So that was part of all

278
00:14:21.240 --> 00:14:24.240
<v Speaker 2>of this. So that's the reason why things did not

279
00:14:24.399 --> 00:14:28.480
<v Speaker 2>go the Dodgers way offensively tonight. And Dave Roberts took

280
00:14:28.559 --> 00:14:31.879
<v Speaker 2>Mookie Bets and Freddie Freeman out after the sixth inning,

281
00:14:32.039 --> 00:14:35.159
<v Speaker 2>and I like that. I thought that was the right

282
00:14:35.240 --> 00:14:38.759
<v Speaker 2>move by Dave Roberts to preserve those guys to avoid

283
00:14:38.879 --> 00:14:42.720
<v Speaker 2>any injury in a blowout, but also give the sellout crowd,

284
00:14:42.840 --> 00:14:46.159
<v Speaker 2>a lot of Dodger fans here the opportunity to see

285
00:14:46.240 --> 00:14:49.080
<v Speaker 2>Freddie and Mookie Betts take three at bats. I thought

286
00:14:49.080 --> 00:14:51.919
<v Speaker 2>that was the perfect move by Dave Roberts in a

287
00:14:51.919 --> 00:14:56.799
<v Speaker 2>blowout game. Speaking of the Dodgers three MVPs, there's all

288
00:14:56.840 --> 00:14:59.679
<v Speaker 2>of a sudden, this underswell from the East coast of

289
00:14:59.720 --> 00:15:05.279
<v Speaker 2>all places. For some sort of argument that Francisco Lindor

290
00:15:06.039 --> 00:15:09.720
<v Speaker 2>should win the National League MVP instead of show Hey Otani,

291
00:15:10.799 --> 00:15:13.200
<v Speaker 2>and all of a sudden, now from the East Coast,

292
00:15:13.200 --> 00:15:18.600
<v Speaker 2>they're all trying to discount the stolen base After last year,

293
00:15:18.960 --> 00:15:21.960
<v Speaker 2>when Mooki Betts was having a better all around season

294
00:15:21.960 --> 00:15:26.159
<v Speaker 2>than Ronald o'cunya Junior, who was a forty and seventy

295
00:15:26.320 --> 00:15:31.159
<v Speaker 2>stolen based player, everybody was saying how remarkable it was

296
00:15:31.240 --> 00:15:36.360
<v Speaker 2>that Ronald o'cunya Junior could steal seventy bases and it

297
00:15:36.440 --> 00:15:39.000
<v Speaker 2>didn't matter what Mooki Betts was doing on an all

298
00:15:39.039 --> 00:15:43.240
<v Speaker 2>around basis. Fast forward to the last two weeks. Now

299
00:15:43.279 --> 00:15:45.960
<v Speaker 2>all of a sudden, people are saying, well, the stolen

300
00:15:46.000 --> 00:15:49.519
<v Speaker 2>bases they don't mean as much. You know, the bases

301
00:15:49.559 --> 00:15:54.159
<v Speaker 2>are bigger, the rules are different. Fifty stolen bases doesn't

302
00:15:54.200 --> 00:15:57.399
<v Speaker 2>mean what it used to mean. Okay, okay, you can't

303
00:15:57.399 --> 00:16:00.360
<v Speaker 2>have it both ways, all right, Francisco lindor Or, I

304
00:16:00.399 --> 00:16:03.519
<v Speaker 2>see the argument. He's playing shortstop, he's leading off for

305
00:16:03.559 --> 00:16:05.919
<v Speaker 2>the Mets, and he's had a great year. I'm not

306
00:16:06.000 --> 00:16:09.240
<v Speaker 2>saying he has not had a great year, but because

307
00:16:09.360 --> 00:16:14.320
<v Speaker 2>of the final wildcard spot and the expanded playoffs. Now

308
00:16:14.360 --> 00:16:18.320
<v Speaker 2>everybody's saying, well, if he leads the Mets into the postseason,

309
00:16:18.440 --> 00:16:19.159
<v Speaker 2>that says a lot.

310
00:16:19.200 --> 00:16:20.279
<v Speaker 3>He's so valuable.

311
00:16:20.639 --> 00:16:24.320
<v Speaker 2>Oh really, if there wasn't an expanded postseason, the Mets

312
00:16:24.320 --> 00:16:28.559
<v Speaker 2>would have no shot at the playoffs. And Shoho Tani,

313
00:16:28.679 --> 00:16:31.840
<v Speaker 2>I know he's a DH, but the facts are he's

314
00:16:31.919 --> 00:16:35.279
<v Speaker 2>a very dynamic player on the bases when he's out there,

315
00:16:35.600 --> 00:16:38.600
<v Speaker 2>and he's going to do something that nobody else has

316
00:16:38.639 --> 00:16:41.720
<v Speaker 2>ever done. In fact, right now, he has done something

317
00:16:41.759 --> 00:16:43.200
<v Speaker 2>no other player has done.

318
00:16:43.559 --> 00:16:45.600
<v Speaker 3>Nobody else in baseball.

319
00:16:45.159 --> 00:16:48.240
<v Speaker 2>History has ever hit forty four home runs and stolen

320
00:16:48.320 --> 00:16:51.840
<v Speaker 2>forty six bases. And it's not like he's hitting two twenty.

321
00:16:52.120 --> 00:16:54.639
<v Speaker 2>He's hitting two ninety on the year with an ops

322
00:16:54.679 --> 00:16:58.200
<v Speaker 2>of nine to ninety. So he's had a really good year.

323
00:16:58.919 --> 00:17:01.120
<v Speaker 2>And I know he doesn't play the field, and I'm

324
00:17:01.159 --> 00:17:04.440
<v Speaker 2>not a huge fan of the DH, and I would

325
00:17:04.480 --> 00:17:08.880
<v Speaker 2>normally give it give more to a position player, but

326
00:17:08.920 --> 00:17:12.079
<v Speaker 2>there really hasn't been one. The two best hitters and

327
00:17:12.160 --> 00:17:15.720
<v Speaker 2>players in the National League this year have been Marcelo

328
00:17:15.839 --> 00:17:18.839
<v Speaker 2>Zuna of the Braves and show Hey Otani of the Dodgers.

329
00:17:19.119 --> 00:17:22.359
<v Speaker 2>Lindor is fantastic. He is if you want to say

330
00:17:22.400 --> 00:17:25.519
<v Speaker 2>Lindor should be the runner up to Otani, that's fine,

331
00:17:25.920 --> 00:17:31.680
<v Speaker 2>But Otani is the MVP, all right. Just saw Fernando

332
00:17:31.799 --> 00:17:36.160
<v Speaker 2>Tatist Junior rip off his jersey, so that obviously means

333
00:17:36.200 --> 00:17:39.880
<v Speaker 2>the Padres walked it off against the Tigers. So the

334
00:17:39.960 --> 00:17:44.039
<v Speaker 2>Padres are gaining a game on the Dodgers tonight with

335
00:17:44.160 --> 00:17:48.480
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers losing. Arizona beat the Giants tonight, so both

336
00:17:48.519 --> 00:17:50.960
<v Speaker 2>those teams gain a game on the Dodgers, and they

337
00:17:51.000 --> 00:17:54.279
<v Speaker 2>are both now five games back in the standings in

338
00:17:54.319 --> 00:17:58.720
<v Speaker 2>the NLS to the Dodgers. But going back to Otani,

339
00:17:58.759 --> 00:18:03.599
<v Speaker 2>he should be the MVP. And if Francisco Lindor was

340
00:18:03.640 --> 00:18:08.039
<v Speaker 2>playing in Cleveland, nobody would be beating the drum for him.

341
00:18:08.319 --> 00:18:10.799
<v Speaker 2>But because he plays for the Mets in New York,

342
00:18:11.480 --> 00:18:16.000
<v Speaker 2>then everybody is on board with the Francisco Lindor MVP train.

343
00:18:16.559 --> 00:18:18.359
<v Speaker 3>Give me a break.

344
00:18:18.799 --> 00:18:21.759
<v Speaker 2>Eight sixty six nine eight seven two five seventy is

345
00:18:21.799 --> 00:18:24.039
<v Speaker 2>the phone number we are going to take a time

346
00:18:24.079 --> 00:18:26.960
<v Speaker 2>out here on Dodger Talk. When we come back, your

347
00:18:27.039 --> 00:18:30.519
<v Speaker 2>phone calls, and also we'll let you know which Dodgers

348
00:18:30.559 --> 00:18:34.759
<v Speaker 2>have had the most success against the Angels ever since

349
00:18:34.920 --> 00:18:36.559
<v Speaker 2>interleague play started.

350
00:18:37.519 --> 00:18:39.519
<v Speaker 3>Can you guess who they are? The top three?

351
00:18:40.680 --> 00:18:43.440
<v Speaker 2>Eight six six nine eight seven two. Five seventy is

352
00:18:43.480 --> 00:18:46.640
<v Speaker 2>the phone number. Angels beat the Dodgers ten to one

353
00:18:47.000 --> 00:18:49.400
<v Speaker 2>on a five to seventy LA Sports.

354
00:18:53.319 --> 00:18:56.839
<v Speaker 1>On air at AM five seventy, online at amfive seventy

355
00:18:57.000 --> 00:19:02.079
<v Speaker 1>LA sports dot com, and available by on the iHeartRadio app.

356
00:19:02.279 --> 00:19:05.160
<v Speaker 1>This is Dodger Talk with David Bassi.

357
00:19:08.400 --> 00:19:11.680
<v Speaker 2>We are live at Angels Stadium after the Halos beat

358
00:19:11.720 --> 00:19:14.359
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers in a big way tonight ten to one

359
00:19:14.599 --> 00:19:18.359
<v Speaker 2>the final score. We're with you until ten thirty tonight

360
00:19:18.400 --> 00:19:21.599
<v Speaker 2>here on Dodger Talk. The Dodgers win four out of

361
00:19:21.640 --> 00:19:25.160
<v Speaker 2>six on this road trip and win the most important

362
00:19:25.240 --> 00:19:28.079
<v Speaker 2>series on this six game road trip, taking three out

363
00:19:28.079 --> 00:19:32.079
<v Speaker 2>of four from the Diamondbacks. So the Dodgers not only

364
00:19:32.200 --> 00:19:35.720
<v Speaker 2>left Arizona with a six game lead, they actually won

365
00:19:35.759 --> 00:19:38.839
<v Speaker 2>the season series. So if there is a tie in

366
00:19:38.920 --> 00:19:42.640
<v Speaker 2>the standings between the Dodgers and Diamondbacks, the Dodgers would

367
00:19:42.680 --> 00:19:46.519
<v Speaker 2>have the edge. So whatever the standing, show add a

368
00:19:46.559 --> 00:19:50.200
<v Speaker 2>game to that because the Dodgers own the tiebreaker, and

369
00:19:50.279 --> 00:19:53.519
<v Speaker 2>with both Arizona and San Diego winning with the Dodgers

370
00:19:53.559 --> 00:19:57.519
<v Speaker 2>losing tonight, the Dodgers are five games ahead both of

371
00:19:57.599 --> 00:20:02.240
<v Speaker 2>those teams, and if you're looking ahead to the postseason brackets,

372
00:20:02.680 --> 00:20:05.359
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers right now are the number one seed in

373
00:20:05.400 --> 00:20:10.279
<v Speaker 2>the National League and if the postseason started today, the

374
00:20:10.400 --> 00:20:15.440
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers would play the winner of a Diamondbacks Padres wild

375
00:20:15.519 --> 00:20:19.519
<v Speaker 2>card series. Eight six six nine seven two five seventy

376
00:20:19.720 --> 00:20:23.799
<v Speaker 2>is the phone number. Let's go out to Redondo Beach. Steve,

377
00:20:23.920 --> 00:20:24.960
<v Speaker 2>You're on Dodger Talk.

378
00:20:25.039 --> 00:20:27.920
<v Speaker 8>Hi, Steve, Hey Dave, what's going on?

379
00:20:29.720 --> 00:20:29.880
<v Speaker 4>Oh?

380
00:20:30.119 --> 00:20:32.920
<v Speaker 3>Just last man standing out here at the Big A.

381
00:20:34.039 --> 00:20:37.720
<v Speaker 8>Yeah. Hey, I was wondering, dude, you know, I was.

382
00:20:37.799 --> 00:20:40.000
<v Speaker 8>I know, Bobby Miller's struggling, you know.

383
00:20:40.119 --> 00:20:40.279
<v Speaker 6>But.

384
00:20:42.440 --> 00:20:45.799
<v Speaker 8>I was noticing, you know, you know, he he was

385
00:20:45.839 --> 00:20:49.359
<v Speaker 8>getting his fastball is getting hit, and I wanted to

386
00:20:49.440 --> 00:20:53.119
<v Speaker 8>know if you could kind of take me, maybe give

387
00:20:53.160 --> 00:20:56.559
<v Speaker 8>me some insight, maybe what that conversation was that last

388
00:20:56.599 --> 00:21:01.119
<v Speaker 8>Mountam visit or that the only mound visit with prior

389
00:21:01.240 --> 00:21:04.759
<v Speaker 8>in him before they took him out, because it seemed

390
00:21:04.799 --> 00:21:08.039
<v Speaker 8>to me that as soon as after the mound visit,

391
00:21:08.440 --> 00:21:12.480
<v Speaker 8>he goes right back to the curveball first pitch, and

392
00:21:12.519 --> 00:21:15.799
<v Speaker 8>he's getting that over for a strike and he's going

393
00:21:15.880 --> 00:21:21.079
<v Speaker 8>back to the changeup and uh and not going to the.

394
00:21:21.160 --> 00:21:23.039
<v Speaker 3>I bet that's what he was telling him, Steve.

395
00:21:23.319 --> 00:21:25.880
<v Speaker 2>I bet he was telling him to don't forget about

396
00:21:25.880 --> 00:21:30.079
<v Speaker 2>those pitches. Make those pitches, don't try to chase velocity,

397
00:21:30.240 --> 00:21:34.200
<v Speaker 2>don't try to overthrow with the fastball. And that seems

398
00:21:34.240 --> 00:21:37.039
<v Speaker 2>to be something that Bobby needs to be reminded of

399
00:21:37.160 --> 00:21:37.839
<v Speaker 2>quite often.

400
00:21:38.839 --> 00:21:42.759
<v Speaker 8>Okay, here's another question. So with the pitch calm, right,

401
00:21:43.559 --> 00:21:47.200
<v Speaker 8>who essentially, like who is calling the pitches because I

402
00:21:47.240 --> 00:21:50.880
<v Speaker 8>don't see him taking pitches off the catcher.

403
00:21:51.000 --> 00:21:55.039
<v Speaker 2>No, the catcher's calling those pitches. They have a game

404
00:21:55.079 --> 00:21:59.279
<v Speaker 2>plan and the catcher's calling those pitches. And I the

405
00:21:59.319 --> 00:22:02.359
<v Speaker 2>one pitcher I know that calls his own pitches is

406
00:22:02.640 --> 00:22:05.960
<v Speaker 2>Blake Snell. He has the pitch calm on his waist.

407
00:22:06.440 --> 00:22:10.440
<v Speaker 2>He's the one calling the pitches to the catcher. So yeah,

408
00:22:10.440 --> 00:22:15.000
<v Speaker 2>it's the catcher Austin Barnes that's punching in which pitch

409
00:22:15.079 --> 00:22:17.279
<v Speaker 2>to throw, and he does that with a Hall of

410
00:22:17.279 --> 00:22:20.880
<v Speaker 2>Famer like Kershaw, but obviously Kershaw's calling his own game

411
00:22:20.920 --> 00:22:22.079
<v Speaker 2>in a different way as well.

412
00:22:22.799 --> 00:22:27.000
<v Speaker 8>Okay, all right, dude, all right, hopefully hopefully we get

413
00:22:27.000 --> 00:22:30.799
<v Speaker 8>Glad now and Yamamoto back and when we get some

414
00:22:30.880 --> 00:22:36.599
<v Speaker 8>more depths in the lineup and and we finished strong. Dude, Yeah, keeping.

415
00:22:37.960 --> 00:22:40.759
<v Speaker 2>All right, Thanks Steve appreciated. Be safe out there with

416
00:22:40.920 --> 00:22:45.440
<v Speaker 2>Dondo Beach. Speaking of Yamamoto, even though he only went

417
00:22:45.480 --> 00:22:48.759
<v Speaker 2>two innings last night in his second rehab start, Dave

418
00:22:48.839 --> 00:22:53.319
<v Speaker 2>Roberts said, Yamamoto will pitch Tuesday against the Cubs. Yeah,

419
00:22:53.400 --> 00:22:56.759
<v Speaker 2>Yama Moto is making his return on Tuesday night at

420
00:22:56.839 --> 00:23:00.880
<v Speaker 2>Dodger Stadium against the Cubs. And if Shota ima Naga

421
00:23:01.160 --> 00:23:04.839
<v Speaker 2>stays on six days rest or on that six day schedule,

422
00:23:04.960 --> 00:23:09.640
<v Speaker 2>we may have a Yamamoto Ima Naga showdown at Dodger

423
00:23:09.720 --> 00:23:11.359
<v Speaker 2>Stadium on Tuesday night.

424
00:23:11.920 --> 00:23:15.119
<v Speaker 3>Let's go out to Bob in Malibu. You're on Dodger Talk, Hi.

425
00:23:15.000 --> 00:23:16.759
<v Speaker 8>Bob, Uncle, David Dodger.

426
00:23:16.839 --> 00:23:18.519
<v Speaker 9>Bob out here Nowiby buddy, how you doing?

427
00:23:19.720 --> 00:23:21.039
<v Speaker 3>I'm doing all right? What's up?

428
00:23:21.720 --> 00:23:21.960
<v Speaker 9>That's it?

429
00:23:22.079 --> 00:23:22.440
<v Speaker 6>Much? Bet?

430
00:23:22.480 --> 00:23:25.839
<v Speaker 9>We're gonna need a giant sized Navvian tankless water heater

431
00:23:25.920 --> 00:23:27.680
<v Speaker 9>to wash this one off day, by right.

432
00:23:28.599 --> 00:23:29.079
<v Speaker 3>I guess so.

433
00:23:29.279 --> 00:23:32.240
<v Speaker 2>But if they went on Friday, everybody, we'll forget about tonight.

434
00:23:33.240 --> 00:23:35.079
<v Speaker 9>Listen, Let's just hope we all get a free jumbo

435
00:23:35.160 --> 00:23:38.960
<v Speaker 9>jack anyway, Dave, My question is, Buddy okay? With the

436
00:23:38.960 --> 00:23:41.200
<v Speaker 9>way that Miller's pitching and the way the changeup seem

437
00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:43.279
<v Speaker 9>to be working a little later on in his game,

438
00:23:43.880 --> 00:23:46.079
<v Speaker 9>any chance we move him to more of a relief

439
00:23:46.160 --> 00:23:48.559
<v Speaker 9>position as we get further into the season and into

440
00:23:48.599 --> 00:23:49.240
<v Speaker 9>the postseason.

441
00:23:50.440 --> 00:23:52.720
<v Speaker 2>I wouldn't rule it out, But if you can't throw

442
00:23:52.759 --> 00:23:55.119
<v Speaker 2>strikes as a starter, if he can't get strike one

443
00:23:55.200 --> 00:23:58.000
<v Speaker 2>as a starter, do you really want that coming out

444
00:23:58.000 --> 00:23:58.640
<v Speaker 2>of the bullpen?

445
00:23:59.599 --> 00:24:01.680
<v Speaker 9>No? In fact, the guy should have been singing. He

446
00:24:01.720 --> 00:24:04.480
<v Speaker 9>was throwing pitches right down Broadway so hard tonight man.

447
00:24:06.000 --> 00:24:08.720
<v Speaker 2>All right, Bob, thank you for the phone call. Very impressive.

448
00:24:09.119 --> 00:24:11.519
<v Speaker 2>You got two sponsors in there as well. In one

449
00:24:11.559 --> 00:24:14.079
<v Speaker 2>phone call. Let's go out to Marco, who is at

450
00:24:14.079 --> 00:24:16.799
<v Speaker 2>Angel Stadium tonight. Hi, Marco, you're on Dodger Talk.

451
00:24:17.599 --> 00:24:18.119
<v Speaker 8>Hey day.

452
00:24:18.160 --> 00:24:20.279
<v Speaker 6>Thanks for taking my call, my pleasure.

453
00:24:20.359 --> 00:24:22.440
<v Speaker 3>What do you got so well?

454
00:24:22.480 --> 00:24:25.599
<v Speaker 11>What are your thoughts on LAT and NAC being on

455
00:24:25.640 --> 00:24:28.880
<v Speaker 11>the you know, on the postseason roster. I think it's

456
00:24:28.880 --> 00:24:32.240
<v Speaker 11>a pore guns conclusion that you know. I think there's

457
00:24:32.279 --> 00:24:35.240
<v Speaker 11>been a lot more negative talk on Bobby Miller and

458
00:24:35.279 --> 00:24:39.119
<v Speaker 11>his issues that I don't think they'll be resolved throughout

459
00:24:39.160 --> 00:24:43.200
<v Speaker 11>the month of September. And I think before.

460
00:24:42.960 --> 00:24:45.960
<v Speaker 2>You go any further, you want to put landon Nack

461
00:24:46.279 --> 00:24:50.119
<v Speaker 2>on the postseason roster? Who is landon Nax starting over?

462
00:24:50.200 --> 00:24:52.640
<v Speaker 2>And by the way, for the record, I'm a big

463
00:24:52.720 --> 00:24:56.000
<v Speaker 2>landon Nac fan, and I feel like he has earned

464
00:24:56.480 --> 00:24:59.960
<v Speaker 2>more opportunities to start because he has done pretty well.

465
00:25:00.079 --> 00:25:01.200
<v Speaker 3>But go ahead, who would.

466
00:25:01.039 --> 00:25:03.799
<v Speaker 2>You want to take out of the postseason roster if

467
00:25:03.839 --> 00:25:05.680
<v Speaker 2>glass Now and Yamamoto are healthy?

468
00:25:06.240 --> 00:25:09.200
<v Speaker 11>Well, I just think Yamamoto, you know, with him coming back,

469
00:25:09.200 --> 00:25:10.160
<v Speaker 11>that's still a big question.

470
00:25:10.240 --> 00:25:10.680
<v Speaker 5>Mark two.

471
00:25:10.960 --> 00:25:12.119
<v Speaker 8>And Land and that I.

472
00:25:12.119 --> 00:25:15.359
<v Speaker 11>Could see him piggybacking on the start. You know that

473
00:25:15.480 --> 00:25:19.160
<v Speaker 11>Yamamoto you know, starts maybe Game four, game three, because

474
00:25:19.480 --> 00:25:21.640
<v Speaker 11>I don't know, you know, he that's not.

475
00:25:21.599 --> 00:25:24.960
<v Speaker 2>A really great game plan, Mark Marco, I don't like

476
00:25:25.000 --> 00:25:27.599
<v Speaker 2>that game plan. If that's what the Dodgers have to

477
00:25:27.599 --> 00:25:30.960
<v Speaker 2>do to win a playoff series, I'm not feeling them

478
00:25:30.960 --> 00:25:31.720
<v Speaker 2>going too far.

479
00:25:33.079 --> 00:25:33.480
<v Speaker 5>All right.

480
00:25:33.720 --> 00:25:37.200
<v Speaker 11>One other quick question, the last you know on Sunday

481
00:25:37.559 --> 00:25:40.720
<v Speaker 11>save Roberts Bulls. You know the main guys after three

482
00:25:40.759 --> 00:25:43.799
<v Speaker 11>and ins and today they yeah pulled, you know, Minkie

483
00:25:43.839 --> 00:25:48.319
<v Speaker 11>Beds and three mean after six, you know the Padres.

484
00:25:47.640 --> 00:25:48.559
<v Speaker 8>They're they're hot.

485
00:25:49.200 --> 00:25:52.359
<v Speaker 11>Is the Arizona haven't lost yet and they're not even healthy.

486
00:25:52.759 --> 00:25:55.279
<v Speaker 3>What do you mean? The Dodgers beat Arizona three out of.

487
00:25:55.319 --> 00:25:59.880
<v Speaker 11>Four exactly, but they're not one hundred percent Arizona the right,

488
00:26:00.279 --> 00:26:04.279
<v Speaker 11>so they're not I think Dave Roberts is kind of

489
00:26:04.440 --> 00:26:09.119
<v Speaker 11>you know, and they're only a fight now.

490
00:26:09.359 --> 00:26:14.440
<v Speaker 2>He was, so he was managing to fight another day

491
00:26:14.519 --> 00:26:17.079
<v Speaker 2>and it paid off because the Dodgers won the last

492
00:26:17.079 --> 00:26:19.839
<v Speaker 2>game in Arizona, and tonight he left him in for

493
00:26:19.920 --> 00:26:23.039
<v Speaker 2>six innings. The Dodgers were not coming back tonight, Marco

494
00:26:23.519 --> 00:26:27.319
<v Speaker 2>and Dave Roberts to me, I loved him leaving those

495
00:26:27.359 --> 00:26:28.680
<v Speaker 2>guys in for six innings.

496
00:26:28.720 --> 00:26:32.599
<v Speaker 3>Taking them out after three a little early for my liking.

497
00:26:32.799 --> 00:26:34.240
<v Speaker 3>So I like what he did tonight.

498
00:26:34.319 --> 00:26:37.319
<v Speaker 2>And obviously he's aware a lot of Dodger fans were

499
00:26:37.359 --> 00:26:41.759
<v Speaker 2>here sell out crowd, so he understands fans paid to

500
00:26:41.960 --> 00:26:44.200
<v Speaker 2>come see those guys, and that's the reason why he

501
00:26:44.319 --> 00:26:47.880
<v Speaker 2>left him in there until the sixth inning, because if

502
00:26:47.880 --> 00:26:50.119
<v Speaker 2>they would have got hurt, Marco, if they would have

503
00:26:50.119 --> 00:26:51.880
<v Speaker 2>got hit by a pitch in the eighth inning, you

504
00:26:51.920 --> 00:26:55.039
<v Speaker 2>would be calling right now saying, why did Dave Roberts

505
00:26:55.119 --> 00:26:58.279
<v Speaker 2>leave Mookie Bets and Freddie Freeman in there? And Freddie,

506
00:26:58.359 --> 00:27:00.680
<v Speaker 2>by the way, still has a micro frack sure in

507
00:27:00.680 --> 00:27:01.759
<v Speaker 2>his right middle finger.

508
00:27:03.039 --> 00:27:06.160
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, yeah, right, I can see it.

509
00:27:06.400 --> 00:27:09.119
<v Speaker 2>I feel like I set you straight for tomorrow, Marco.

510
00:27:09.400 --> 00:27:11.960
<v Speaker 2>I set you straight for the weekend, the rest of

511
00:27:12.000 --> 00:27:14.640
<v Speaker 2>the week. You now have great Dodger knowledge.

512
00:27:15.279 --> 00:27:15.960
<v Speaker 11>I appreciate it.

513
00:27:16.039 --> 00:27:16.200
<v Speaker 8>Day.

514
00:27:16.240 --> 00:27:17.759
<v Speaker 11>Thank you all.

515
00:27:17.720 --> 00:27:20.720
<v Speaker 2>Right, Marco, thank you for the phone call. Yeah see,

516
00:27:20.720 --> 00:27:24.599
<v Speaker 2>that's a catch twenty two. That's Monday morning quarterbacking. Why

517
00:27:24.599 --> 00:27:28.039
<v Speaker 2>ain't you leave Freddy and Mooki in there all nine innings? Okay,

518
00:27:28.400 --> 00:27:31.799
<v Speaker 2>let's say Dave Roberts does the Dodgers lose ten to one,

519
00:27:31.880 --> 00:27:34.000
<v Speaker 2>and let's say one of those two guys gets hit

520
00:27:34.079 --> 00:27:37.480
<v Speaker 2>by a pitch or they turn an ankle. I bet

521
00:27:37.480 --> 00:27:40.720
<v Speaker 2>I have a full boarder calls until midnight tonight, wanting

522
00:27:40.759 --> 00:27:44.200
<v Speaker 2>Dave Roberts fired for leaving those guys in in a blowout.

523
00:27:44.480 --> 00:27:47.599
<v Speaker 2>I think he straddled the line pretty well tonight. Eight

524
00:27:47.720 --> 00:27:50.319
<v Speaker 2>six six nine eight seven two five seventy is the

<v Speaker 3>Daniels Jewelers owned the Dream want.

531
00:28:09.119 --> 00:28:11.559
<v Speaker 2>To give a couple of shout outs to former Dodgers

532
00:28:11.559 --> 00:28:14.720
<v Speaker 2>that now play for the Angels. My guy Kevin Polar

533
00:28:15.240 --> 00:28:18.400
<v Speaker 2>from the Grade one eight in West Hill Shamanad High School.

534
00:28:18.799 --> 00:28:21.039
<v Speaker 2>He has said that he is retiring at the end

535
00:28:21.079 --> 00:28:21.720
<v Speaker 2>of this year.

536
00:28:22.119 --> 00:28:23.000
<v Speaker 3>I don't know why.

537
00:28:23.400 --> 00:28:26.799
<v Speaker 2>He's still crushing left handed pitching. He has almost a

538
00:28:26.960 --> 00:28:29.960
<v Speaker 2>one thousand oh ps against left handed pitching this year.

539
00:28:30.039 --> 00:28:33.720
<v Speaker 2>But Kevin Pillar, like Kevin Kiermeier, is saying they are

540
00:28:33.759 --> 00:28:35.759
<v Speaker 2>going to retire at the end of the year. And

541
00:28:36.079 --> 00:28:40.079
<v Speaker 2>Polar has had a great career and certainly was one

542
00:28:40.079 --> 00:28:42.480
<v Speaker 2>of the best center fielders in his prime and is

543
00:28:42.519 --> 00:28:46.359
<v Speaker 2>still robbing a lot of hitters out there in the outfield.

544
00:28:46.640 --> 00:28:49.839
<v Speaker 2>It was also great to see former Dodger Tyler Anderson,

545
00:28:50.279 --> 00:28:53.680
<v Speaker 2>who is with the Angels. He certainly was a great

546
00:28:53.720 --> 00:28:55.519
<v Speaker 2>guy to be around, and it was great to see

547
00:28:55.559 --> 00:28:58.599
<v Speaker 2>him yesterday as well. I did not see Polar. Polar

548
00:28:58.720 --> 00:29:01.119
<v Speaker 2>is a tough guy to see around at Angel Stadium.

549
00:29:01.480 --> 00:29:03.480
<v Speaker 2>I feel like I have to get Mark Gubazza to

550
00:29:03.519 --> 00:29:06.759
<v Speaker 2>get me the golden ticket to see Kevin Palar around here.

551
00:29:07.200 --> 00:29:09.359
<v Speaker 2>It was great to see those guys too, Mark Gubazza,

552
00:29:09.559 --> 00:29:13.279
<v Speaker 2>Tim Salmon, Terry Smith and Mark Lynston all out here.

553
00:29:13.359 --> 00:29:16.440
<v Speaker 2>And Wayne ran Dazzo. Good to see him as well.

554
00:29:16.440 --> 00:29:18.400
<v Speaker 2>But we see him with those Apple games. It was

555
00:29:18.440 --> 00:29:21.839
<v Speaker 2>cool to see the Halos out here at Angel Stadium.

556
00:29:22.160 --> 00:29:25.160
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers fall to the Halos tonight ten to one. Let's

557
00:29:25.160 --> 00:29:29.359
<v Speaker 2>go out to speaking of West Hills, Sasan in West Hills,

558
00:29:29.359 --> 00:29:30.880
<v Speaker 2>how you doing. Did I get your name right?

559
00:29:31.559 --> 00:29:31.759
<v Speaker 6>Oh?

560
00:29:31.839 --> 00:29:34.160
<v Speaker 12>Yes, Thank you so much, Dave. Thanks for taking my call.

561
00:29:34.599 --> 00:29:37.960
<v Speaker 12>I just had a quick question just about Tyler Glass

562
00:29:38.000 --> 00:29:40.759
<v Speaker 12>now in his rehab. When do you think we might

563
00:29:40.920 --> 00:29:43.640
<v Speaker 12>see him in action for the Dodgers. Do you think

564
00:29:43.680 --> 00:29:47.880
<v Speaker 12>that he may see action up against the Marlins in

565
00:29:47.920 --> 00:29:51.160
<v Speaker 12>that series or up against the Rockies later in the month. Anyway,

566
00:29:51.160 --> 00:29:53.079
<v Speaker 12>Thank you so much for taking my call, and good.

567
00:29:52.960 --> 00:29:53.440
<v Speaker 5>Rest of your day.

568
00:29:54.319 --> 00:29:55.720
<v Speaker 3>Thank you you too. Hey.

569
00:29:55.759 --> 00:29:59.200
<v Speaker 2>I'll say this, I really hope Tyler glassw is pitching

570
00:29:59.240 --> 00:30:01.920
<v Speaker 2>on the next road. We're seeing a lot of Tyler

571
00:30:01.960 --> 00:30:04.839
<v Speaker 2>Glass now working on mechanics with Connor McGinnis, doing a

572
00:30:04.920 --> 00:30:08.039
<v Speaker 2>lot of talking out there with Connor McGinnis off a

573
00:30:08.079 --> 00:30:12.640
<v Speaker 2>flat round, I feel like, yeah, Tyler glass Now should

574
00:30:12.640 --> 00:30:17.000
<v Speaker 2>be back on that next road trip to Atlanta or Miami.

575
00:30:17.400 --> 00:30:20.160
<v Speaker 2>It feels like he should be on what I'm saying

576
00:30:20.200 --> 00:30:24.119
<v Speaker 2>tells me he should be. No pitcher is ever one

577
00:30:24.160 --> 00:30:28.440
<v Speaker 2>hundred percent healthy or one hundred percent with their mechanics,

578
00:30:28.480 --> 00:30:31.880
<v Speaker 2>So if he wants to be ready for the postseason,

579
00:30:32.359 --> 00:30:35.160
<v Speaker 2>you gotta start pitching. You don't want Game one to

580
00:30:35.240 --> 00:30:38.559
<v Speaker 2>be your first game back, And it seems like last

581
00:30:38.640 --> 00:30:42.119
<v Speaker 2>Now is on track to pitch, hopefully on the next

582
00:30:42.160 --> 00:30:45.400
<v Speaker 2>road trip after the Dodgers close out this upcoming six

583
00:30:45.519 --> 00:30:50.079
<v Speaker 2>game homestand against the Guardians and Chicago Cubs. I also

584
00:30:50.119 --> 00:30:54.119
<v Speaker 2>want to mention before we took our break that we

585
00:30:54.200 --> 00:30:57.880
<v Speaker 2>did some research and when I say we are magic

586
00:30:57.960 --> 00:31:01.720
<v Speaker 2>producer Dwayne McDonald found all this for me. I was

587
00:31:01.799 --> 00:31:07.319
<v Speaker 2>wondering which Dodger hitters since interleague play started have the

588
00:31:07.319 --> 00:31:11.079
<v Speaker 2>best numbers against the Angels at Dodger Stadium in here

589
00:31:11.519 --> 00:31:15.799
<v Speaker 2>in Anaheim and by far and away. Gary Sheffield, who

590
00:31:15.799 --> 00:31:18.519
<v Speaker 2>should be in the Hall of Fame, played twenty two

591
00:31:18.599 --> 00:31:21.920
<v Speaker 2>games with the Dodgers against the Angels and had a

592
00:31:22.039 --> 00:31:26.160
<v Speaker 2>three to twenty nine batting average, eleven home runs, twenty

593
00:31:26.160 --> 00:31:31.079
<v Speaker 2>two RBIs, and an OPS of twelve sixty five. The

594
00:31:31.160 --> 00:31:34.920
<v Speaker 2>eleven home runs by Sheffield in a Dodger uniform against

595
00:31:34.960 --> 00:31:38.480
<v Speaker 2>the Angels is the most hit by a Dodger against

596
00:31:38.519 --> 00:31:42.160
<v Speaker 2>the team here in Anaheim. Eric Carros, who is here,

597
00:31:42.680 --> 00:31:45.359
<v Speaker 2>he owned Troy Percival. He had a couple of hits

598
00:31:45.400 --> 00:31:47.720
<v Speaker 2>off of Perceval. And you know when you say that

599
00:31:48.000 --> 00:31:51.279
<v Speaker 2>Caros was not clutch. If you're hitting, if you're getting

600
00:31:51.400 --> 00:31:55.400
<v Speaker 2>hits against Perceval, it means that it's late in the game, right, Okay.

601
00:31:55.839 --> 00:31:59.640
<v Speaker 2>Eric Carros twenty nine games against the Angels in his

602
00:31:59.720 --> 00:32:02.400
<v Speaker 2>Dodge Your career, batt at three sixteen, with eight home

603
00:32:02.519 --> 00:32:06.839
<v Speaker 2>runs and seventeen RBIs. He had a nine to fourteen OPS.

604
00:32:07.359 --> 00:32:11.000
<v Speaker 2>And my guy Andre Ethier played more games than any

605
00:32:11.039 --> 00:32:15.039
<v Speaker 2>one of those two guys, fifty four games played against

606
00:32:15.079 --> 00:32:18.359
<v Speaker 2>the Angels, more than any other Dodger. He had a

607
00:32:18.400 --> 00:32:23.039
<v Speaker 2>three fourteen batting average with seven home runs, including of course,

608
00:32:23.440 --> 00:32:26.640
<v Speaker 2>a walk off home run against the Halos on August

609
00:32:26.720 --> 00:32:28.039
<v Speaker 2>Tecod twenty fifteen.

610
00:32:28.200 --> 00:32:29.799
<v Speaker 3>So those are the.

611
00:32:29.839 --> 00:32:34.519
<v Speaker 2>Three top Dodgers to perform against the Angels and Mookie

612
00:32:34.519 --> 00:32:36.880
<v Speaker 2>Bets obviously has done great, but a lot of that

613
00:32:37.400 --> 00:32:40.240
<v Speaker 2>was with the Red Sox. Let's take more phone calls,

614
00:32:40.279 --> 00:32:43.680
<v Speaker 2>shall we. Let's go out to Newport Beach. Ken, Who's

615
00:32:43.720 --> 00:32:44.559
<v Speaker 2>on Dodger Talk?

616
00:32:44.599 --> 00:32:45.039
<v Speaker 3>How you doing?

617
00:32:45.119 --> 00:32:45.480
<v Speaker 6>Ken?

618
00:32:46.000 --> 00:32:47.359
<v Speaker 5>Hey?

619
00:32:47.480 --> 00:32:50.880
<v Speaker 3>Okay, what you think about those three names? Ken? I

620
00:32:50.880 --> 00:32:53.839
<v Speaker 3>bet you called to complain about them during your time?

621
00:32:54.680 --> 00:32:56.319
<v Speaker 6>Never, I would never happen.

622
00:32:56.960 --> 00:32:59.240
<v Speaker 3>I could see you being the guy. Saint Eric Harross

623
00:32:59.319 --> 00:33:00.240
<v Speaker 3>was never clubed much.

624
00:33:02.720 --> 00:33:05.799
<v Speaker 6>I don't even remember him being clutched or not being clutched.

625
00:33:05.839 --> 00:33:10.759
<v Speaker 6>And speaking of memory, I've been a Dodger fan since

626
00:33:10.799 --> 00:33:14.000
<v Speaker 6>fifty eight, and I'm trying to think about.

627
00:33:13.839 --> 00:33:16.000
<v Speaker 2>Are you trying to one up the caller from earlier

628
00:33:16.000 --> 00:33:21.640
<v Speaker 2>that said he was a Dodger fan since fifty nine? No, no, okay,

629
00:33:22.400 --> 00:33:25.160
<v Speaker 2>just for the record, it's sounded like a Steve Hartman

630
00:33:25.240 --> 00:33:26.240
<v Speaker 2>one up right there?

631
00:33:27.160 --> 00:33:29.960
<v Speaker 6>No, no, no, I'm just trying to remember. I'm thinking

632
00:33:30.000 --> 00:33:32.640
<v Speaker 6>of all so I'm thinking of the sorta in a

633
00:33:32.720 --> 00:33:34.480
<v Speaker 6>game that means something. There are only four and a

634
00:33:34.519 --> 00:33:38.400
<v Speaker 6>half games ahead. Now, I don't remember leaving the guy

635
00:33:38.440 --> 00:33:41.079
<v Speaker 6>in that had a six to fifty ERA and a

636
00:33:41.160 --> 00:33:45.000
<v Speaker 6>minors now is a seven to seventy nine ERA. To

637
00:33:45.119 --> 00:33:49.000
<v Speaker 6>give up seven runs and not pull up it just

638
00:33:49.079 --> 00:33:53.359
<v Speaker 6>confused me. It's not a spring training game. This game

639
00:33:53.440 --> 00:33:56.799
<v Speaker 6>had meaning. And sure the Dodgers didn't score and then

640
00:33:56.839 --> 00:33:59.480
<v Speaker 6>we're going to no doubt lose anyway, But why would

641
00:33:59.480 --> 00:34:01.440
<v Speaker 6>you leave it in that long?

642
00:34:02.680 --> 00:34:02.960
<v Speaker 3>Well?

643
00:34:03.039 --> 00:34:06.240
<v Speaker 2>Number one, he's not just thinking about today. He's thinking

644
00:34:06.279 --> 00:34:08.880
<v Speaker 2>about the three game series or the six in a

645
00:34:09.039 --> 00:34:12.119
<v Speaker 2>row coming up after this day off. And you know,

646
00:34:12.199 --> 00:34:15.719
<v Speaker 2>after that first inning, Ken, he seemed to be better

647
00:34:15.760 --> 00:34:18.159
<v Speaker 2>than what he was in that first inning. I know

648
00:34:18.199 --> 00:34:21.199
<v Speaker 2>he gave up two solo home runs, but he had

649
00:34:21.239 --> 00:34:24.880
<v Speaker 2>the game better managed than he did in the first inning.

650
00:34:24.960 --> 00:34:27.559
<v Speaker 2>So that's the reason why he let him ride. If

651
00:34:27.599 --> 00:34:30.519
<v Speaker 2>he gives up another three or four runs, he's out

652
00:34:30.519 --> 00:34:30.800
<v Speaker 2>of there.

653
00:34:30.920 --> 00:34:32.079
<v Speaker 3>But he did not do that.

654
00:34:33.159 --> 00:34:34.039
<v Speaker 5>Well, I don't know.

655
00:34:35.400 --> 00:34:37.960
<v Speaker 6>I think if I was the manager and you're the manager,

656
00:34:38.719 --> 00:34:42.079
<v Speaker 6>you would have pulled him in the third inning because

657
00:34:42.079 --> 00:34:45.280
<v Speaker 6>he just didn't have it. And this is a last

658
00:34:45.360 --> 00:34:49.639
<v Speaker 6>place Angel Dean. This isn't like a contender. And it

659
00:34:49.719 --> 00:34:52.920
<v Speaker 6>kind of made me scratch my head so hard I

660
00:34:52.960 --> 00:34:54.000
<v Speaker 6>almost started bleeding.

661
00:34:55.559 --> 00:34:58.079
<v Speaker 2>Okay, Well, by the time you wanted to take Bobby

662
00:34:58.079 --> 00:35:00.440
<v Speaker 2>Miller out. The game was out of hand? All did

663
00:35:00.480 --> 00:35:02.199
<v Speaker 2>you think the Dodgers were coming back?

664
00:35:03.320 --> 00:35:03.760
<v Speaker 10>What it was?

665
00:35:03.800 --> 00:35:04.360
<v Speaker 9>For nothing?

666
00:35:04.360 --> 00:35:07.599
<v Speaker 6>After the first I thought there was the possibility.

667
00:35:07.719 --> 00:35:11.639
<v Speaker 2>And by the way, can you you channeling Tommy Lasorda's

668
00:35:11.719 --> 00:35:14.920
<v Speaker 2>name here? I love Tommy Lasorda, but he was not

669
00:35:15.039 --> 00:35:16.559
<v Speaker 2>known as the best tactician.

670
00:35:17.480 --> 00:35:19.840
<v Speaker 6>That's true. But you know, a lot of changes, a

671
00:35:19.920 --> 00:35:22.880
<v Speaker 6>lot more stats, there's a lot more information, and a

672
00:35:22.880 --> 00:35:23.719
<v Speaker 6>lot has changed.

673
00:35:23.800 --> 00:35:26.599
<v Speaker 2>You're right, and this was the right move, Like I said,

674
00:35:26.599 --> 00:35:29.039
<v Speaker 2>if you're watching the game, yeah, the first inning was ugly,

675
00:35:29.519 --> 00:35:31.960
<v Speaker 2>but he was able to only give up two runs

676
00:35:32.000 --> 00:35:33.719
<v Speaker 2>the rest of the way, and the game was out

677
00:35:33.760 --> 00:35:34.840
<v Speaker 2>of hand by that point.

678
00:35:35.519 --> 00:35:35.800
<v Speaker 8>Yeah.

679
00:35:35.840 --> 00:35:38.840
<v Speaker 6>And the picture for the Angels has a five to

680
00:35:38.840 --> 00:35:41.480
<v Speaker 6>sixty eer, right, So it's not like he was some

681
00:35:41.599 --> 00:35:44.559
<v Speaker 6>type of wonderful picture and they could have come back,

682
00:35:44.880 --> 00:35:45.800
<v Speaker 6>but not when you were left.

683
00:35:45.880 --> 00:35:49.639
<v Speaker 2>Somebody to come on, Ken, you can't you can't play

684
00:35:50.079 --> 00:35:53.280
<v Speaker 2>one hundred and sixty. I think we can agree upon this, Ken.

685
00:35:53.559 --> 00:35:56.760
<v Speaker 2>The Dodgers have mastered how to navigate a regular season?

686
00:35:56.880 --> 00:35:57.880
<v Speaker 3>Can we agree on that?

687
00:35:58.599 --> 00:35:58.800
<v Speaker 6>Yes?

688
00:36:00.119 --> 00:36:03.679
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so they're navigating one sixty two, right, here, and

689
00:36:03.760 --> 00:36:06.119
<v Speaker 2>I guarantee you, Ken, by the time the last day

690
00:36:06.159 --> 00:36:09.000
<v Speaker 2>of the regular season comes around, the Dodgers will win

691
00:36:09.039 --> 00:36:12.000
<v Speaker 2>this division by at least five games because they have

692
00:36:12.199 --> 00:36:15.519
<v Speaker 2>mastered how to win the regular season by navigating their

693
00:36:15.559 --> 00:36:18.400
<v Speaker 2>pitching and having more pitching than any other team in

694
00:36:18.440 --> 00:36:21.519
<v Speaker 2>the division. Now, if you want to argue about how

695
00:36:21.519 --> 00:36:25.079
<v Speaker 2>that translates to October, that's a different debate. But as

696
00:36:25.079 --> 00:36:28.119
<v Speaker 2>far as the regular season goes, I think we have

697
00:36:28.239 --> 00:36:32.199
<v Speaker 2>to acknowledge Andrew Friedman Dave Roberts have kind of figured

698
00:36:32.239 --> 00:36:32.960
<v Speaker 2>out that plan.

699
00:36:34.119 --> 00:36:38.320
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I agree with all that, but I just can't

700
00:36:38.400 --> 00:36:41.559
<v Speaker 6>imagine leaving the guy in that law. There was no

701
00:36:41.679 --> 00:36:42.639
<v Speaker 6>purpose to do it.

702
00:36:43.000 --> 00:36:43.960
<v Speaker 5>You could have pulled them.

703
00:36:43.840 --> 00:36:44.960
<v Speaker 3>There, there was a purpose.

704
00:36:45.199 --> 00:36:47.519
<v Speaker 2>You don't want to burn your relievers that have been

705
00:36:47.639 --> 00:36:51.559
<v Speaker 2>used a lot. Okay, all right, Ken, thank you for

706
00:36:51.559 --> 00:36:53.599
<v Speaker 2>the phone call. We could argue about that all night

707
00:36:53.760 --> 00:36:57.840
<v Speaker 2>and you still would not acknowledge it. That's the reason why,

708
00:36:59.159 --> 00:37:02.000
<v Speaker 2>by the way, it pretty with the two losses the

709
00:37:02.079 --> 00:37:04.840
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers took on this road trip. They lost fourteen to

710
00:37:04.920 --> 00:37:08.679
<v Speaker 2>three in Arizona. Justin Robleski also did not have a

711
00:37:08.679 --> 00:37:10.719
<v Speaker 2>great first inning. He put the Dodgers in a big

712
00:37:10.760 --> 00:37:14.079
<v Speaker 2>hole and tonight ten to one. So the two losses

713
00:37:14.360 --> 00:37:17.199
<v Speaker 2>on this road trip, the Dodgers were outscored twenty four

714
00:37:17.239 --> 00:37:20.239
<v Speaker 2>to four because of bad first innings by their young

715
00:37:20.320 --> 00:37:22.800
<v Speaker 2>starting pitching. And the one thing I will agree with

716
00:37:22.880 --> 00:37:25.920
<v Speaker 2>Ken on is the Dodgers have to look at Bobby

717
00:37:25.960 --> 00:37:30.440
<v Speaker 2>Miller's performance. Whether it's injury based or performance based, it

718
00:37:30.559 --> 00:37:34.679
<v Speaker 2>just hasn't been good this year. There's no ways around that.

719
00:37:35.079 --> 00:37:38.440
<v Speaker 2>And I feel like next Wednesday it's a crossroad start.

720
00:37:38.920 --> 00:37:41.639
<v Speaker 2>He's got to show that he cannot get into a

721
00:37:41.679 --> 00:37:44.239
<v Speaker 2>deep hole and he's got a pitch well. Whether it's

722
00:37:44.239 --> 00:37:46.920
<v Speaker 2>his knees, whether it's his shoulders, all of that is

723
00:37:47.440 --> 00:37:50.679
<v Speaker 2>part of the performance and the results. At some point

724
00:37:50.840 --> 00:37:53.400
<v Speaker 2>that's got to matter, all right. That'll do it for

725
00:37:53.480 --> 00:37:57.760
<v Speaker 2>us on Dodger Talk tonight. A day off tomorrow, not

726
00:37:57.800 --> 00:37:59.880
<v Speaker 2>only for the Dodgers but for yours truly.

727
00:38:00.239 --> 00:38:01.079
<v Speaker 3>We all have.
