00:00:00.360 --> 00:00:03.919
<v Speaker 1>And now your host of Dodger Talk, David Vasse.

2
00:00:08.160 --> 00:00:12.599
<v Speaker 2>Welcome the Dodger Talk David Vase with you until eleven

3
00:00:12.640 --> 00:00:15.839
<v Speaker 2>o'clock tonight here on AM five to seventy LA Sports

4
00:00:16.199 --> 00:00:19.160
<v Speaker 2>Phone lines are open at eight, six, six, nine eighty

5
00:00:19.280 --> 00:00:23.359
<v Speaker 2>seven two five seventy. After the Dodgers shut out the

6
00:00:23.440 --> 00:00:27.679
<v Speaker 2>Chicago Cubs tonight by a final score of three to nothing,

7
00:00:28.199 --> 00:00:30.640
<v Speaker 2>we have a lot to get to Between now and

8
00:00:30.760 --> 00:00:34.439
<v Speaker 2>eleven o'clock. We'll check in with Jose Mota. You'll hear

9
00:00:34.520 --> 00:00:39.200
<v Speaker 2>from Justin Turner and Freddie Freeman. But tonight was about

10
00:00:39.359 --> 00:00:44.920
<v Speaker 2>Yamamoto and Tommy Edmund Yamamoto. I don't want to take

11
00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:47.640
<v Speaker 2>full credit for this, but I'm going to remind you

12
00:00:47.719 --> 00:00:51.200
<v Speaker 2>and I'm going to take my victory lap every time

13
00:00:51.280 --> 00:00:55.880
<v Speaker 2>he pitches, because going all the way back to spring training,

14
00:00:56.799 --> 00:00:59.600
<v Speaker 2>I said, this guy is going to finish in the

15
00:00:59.640 --> 00:01:03.679
<v Speaker 2>top three of the National League's Say Young voting this year.

16
00:01:04.280 --> 00:01:06.599
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if he's going to win it. There's

17
00:01:06.640 --> 00:01:10.280
<v Speaker 2>a lot of variables, especially when you have writers voting

18
00:01:10.319 --> 00:01:13.439
<v Speaker 2>for it. But he certainly is going to finish in

19
00:01:13.519 --> 00:01:16.680
<v Speaker 2>the top three of the National League Say Young voting

20
00:01:16.760 --> 00:01:19.719
<v Speaker 2>if he stays healthy, and I'm a believer that he

21
00:01:19.799 --> 00:01:20.840
<v Speaker 2>will stay healthy.

22
00:01:20.879 --> 00:01:22.400
<v Speaker 3>He does not look tentative.

23
00:01:22.879 --> 00:01:27.400
<v Speaker 2>He has never looked tentative going back to spring training,

24
00:01:27.719 --> 00:01:31.200
<v Speaker 2>and that's the reason why I felt so confident he

25
00:01:31.200 --> 00:01:34.680
<v Speaker 2>He was a different guy after that first start against

26
00:01:34.719 --> 00:01:37.959
<v Speaker 2>the Padres in the NLDS. And if you heard our

27
00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:41.799
<v Speaker 2>conversation with Keik Hernandez in spring training, and we shared

28
00:01:41.840 --> 00:01:47.239
<v Speaker 2>it last time Yama Moto started a game, Keik said

29
00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:51.560
<v Speaker 2>that he took Yamamoto for some coffee for about two

30
00:01:51.640 --> 00:01:55.480
<v Speaker 2>or three hours and just got into him and boosted

31
00:01:55.480 --> 00:02:00.920
<v Speaker 2>his confidence. Teammate to teammate. A fellow team was guy.

32
00:02:01.040 --> 00:02:05.400
<v Speaker 2>The fellow team was guy, and there was no interpreter there.

33
00:02:05.719 --> 00:02:10.000
<v Speaker 2>It was just Keik and Yamamoto somewhere at a Starbucks

34
00:02:10.039 --> 00:02:13.159
<v Speaker 2>near you in San Diego. And from there he never

35
00:02:13.240 --> 00:02:16.159
<v Speaker 2>looked back. And when he showed up after winning the

36
00:02:16.199 --> 00:02:18.680
<v Speaker 2>World Series and doing what he did last year for

37
00:02:18.719 --> 00:02:22.319
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers, when he showed up in spring training, he

38
00:02:22.759 --> 00:02:27.120
<v Speaker 2>had all the swagger any other pitcher has in the

39
00:02:27.120 --> 00:02:29.879
<v Speaker 2>major leagues. And you know what he's doing this year

40
00:02:30.039 --> 00:02:34.080
<v Speaker 2>is he's dotting his fastball. Nobody ever said he did

41
00:02:34.120 --> 00:02:38.199
<v Speaker 2>not have fastball command. But last year he just seemed

42
00:02:38.240 --> 00:02:40.960
<v Speaker 2>like he was getting used to the baseball, just used

43
00:02:41.000 --> 00:02:45.319
<v Speaker 2>to getting everything. Now he's dominated. He's a world champion.

44
00:02:45.400 --> 00:02:48.280
<v Speaker 2>Let's not forget that with some of these guys. Tommy

45
00:02:48.400 --> 00:02:52.879
<v Speaker 2>Edmund's a world champion, Yamamoto's a world champion, Mookie's a

46
00:02:52.879 --> 00:02:56.879
<v Speaker 2>three time champion, Freddy's a two time champion. Ta Oscar,

47
00:02:57.319 --> 00:03:00.639
<v Speaker 2>after coming up big during the regular season, came big

48
00:03:01.199 --> 00:03:02.400
<v Speaker 2>during the postseason.

49
00:03:02.639 --> 00:03:03.759
<v Speaker 3>He's a world champion.

50
00:03:03.919 --> 00:03:08.240
<v Speaker 2>That means something, something that you can't quantify on a

51
00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:12.080
<v Speaker 2>data sheet. That means something to that human being as

52
00:03:12.120 --> 00:03:14.319
<v Speaker 2>far as confidence goes, and.

53
00:03:14.240 --> 00:03:16.919
<v Speaker 3>That all applies to Yamamoto.

54
00:03:17.520 --> 00:03:20.639
<v Speaker 2>In four starts to begin the year, yama Moto's era

55
00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:24.400
<v Speaker 2>is now one twenty three after six scoreless innings and

56
00:03:24.520 --> 00:03:28.520
<v Speaker 2>nine strikeouts. His whip is a zero point ninety one,

57
00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:31.360
<v Speaker 2>which means he's not giving up a lot of hits,

58
00:03:31.639 --> 00:03:33.719
<v Speaker 2>he's not giving up a lot of walks, and he's

59
00:03:33.719 --> 00:03:36.560
<v Speaker 2>striking out a lot of guys like he did tonight.

60
00:03:37.159 --> 00:03:41.199
<v Speaker 2>Nine strikeouts. He has twenty eight on the season. And

61
00:03:41.240 --> 00:03:44.599
<v Speaker 2>you know what is a great telling sign about Yamamoto

62
00:03:44.759 --> 00:03:49.400
<v Speaker 2>so far this year, It's that he's getting hitters to

63
00:03:49.599 --> 00:03:53.960
<v Speaker 2>miss pitches in the strike zone. Hitters are only hitting

64
00:03:54.080 --> 00:03:57.159
<v Speaker 2>one eighty nine against Yama Motos pitches that are in

65
00:03:57.280 --> 00:03:59.520
<v Speaker 2>the strike zone coming into tonight.

66
00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:01.719
<v Speaker 3>So all of that is.

67
00:04:01.719 --> 00:04:05.879
<v Speaker 2>Why I believed Yamamoto was going to finish in the

68
00:04:05.879 --> 00:04:09.639
<v Speaker 2>top three the Cy Young voting, even before he threw

69
00:04:09.680 --> 00:04:13.000
<v Speaker 2>a single pitch in Tokyo. Eight six six nine eight

70
00:04:13.120 --> 00:04:16.199
<v Speaker 2>seven two five seventy is the phone number. And before

71
00:04:16.240 --> 00:04:19.600
<v Speaker 2>we get to Tommy Edmund low Key under the radar,

72
00:04:19.759 --> 00:04:23.680
<v Speaker 2>really good game tonight. Miguel Rojas who got the start

73
00:04:23.720 --> 00:04:27.160
<v Speaker 2>at third base against the left hander Matthew Boyd. And

74
00:04:27.199 --> 00:04:30.160
<v Speaker 2>I could tell you one of two things, actually probably

75
00:04:30.279 --> 00:04:34.600
<v Speaker 2>three reasons why Dave Roberts started Miguel Rojas tonight at

76
00:04:34.639 --> 00:04:35.279
<v Speaker 2>third base.

77
00:04:35.639 --> 00:04:36.199
<v Speaker 3>Number one.

78
00:04:36.279 --> 00:04:40.720
<v Speaker 2>Defense Number two, you give Max Munthcie a little bit

79
00:04:40.800 --> 00:04:43.759
<v Speaker 2>of time to be able to take a breather. Number three,

80
00:04:43.800 --> 00:04:46.279
<v Speaker 2>there's a lefty on the mound. Number four.

81
00:04:48.160 --> 00:04:51.079
<v Speaker 3>It's about getting on base in that ninth spot.

82
00:04:51.199 --> 00:04:55.399
<v Speaker 2>And I think we forget how good Lux and Rojas

83
00:04:55.439 --> 00:04:58.959
<v Speaker 2>were at the bottom of the Dodgers lineup last year

84
00:04:59.079 --> 00:05:03.040
<v Speaker 2>eight nine. On getting on base and turning that lineup over.

85
00:05:03.680 --> 00:05:06.959
<v Speaker 2>Rojas was on base twice tonight, and he made a

86
00:05:07.000 --> 00:05:11.480
<v Speaker 2>great base running decision later in the game when Mookie

87
00:05:11.519 --> 00:05:14.600
<v Speaker 2>Betts beat out an infield single deep in the hole

88
00:05:14.680 --> 00:05:18.480
<v Speaker 2>to Dansby Swanson. Rojas was standing at second base, but

89
00:05:18.639 --> 00:05:22.240
<v Speaker 2>he understands and is a smart base runner. The plays

90
00:05:22.240 --> 00:05:24.519
<v Speaker 2>in front of you easier throw to third if he

91
00:05:24.639 --> 00:05:28.040
<v Speaker 2>just tries to go. Instead, he rushed back to second.

92
00:05:28.399 --> 00:05:32.399
<v Speaker 2>Swanson's only hope to get an out was Mooki at

93
00:05:32.519 --> 00:05:36.800
<v Speaker 2>first base. So low key, really good game. Miguel Rojas

94
00:05:36.920 --> 00:05:41.319
<v Speaker 2>hitting ninth and playing third base. Now, Tommy Edmund, he

95
00:05:41.519 --> 00:05:45.879
<v Speaker 2>has been everything and more the Dodgers could have hoped

96
00:05:45.920 --> 00:05:49.600
<v Speaker 2>for going back to last year and especially this year.

97
00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:52.800
<v Speaker 2>Hits his sixth home run of the year. I believe

98
00:05:52.839 --> 00:05:56.040
<v Speaker 2>that ties Aaron Judge. I'm not sure Judge has hit

99
00:05:56.079 --> 00:05:58.600
<v Speaker 2>another home run the last twenty four hours or last

100
00:05:58.720 --> 00:06:02.240
<v Speaker 2>game or so, but he's right there with Aaron Judge

101
00:06:02.439 --> 00:06:05.680
<v Speaker 2>as far as home run leaders in Major League Baseball.

102
00:06:06.199 --> 00:06:09.800
<v Speaker 2>Tommy Edmund a three run, go ahead home run. He

103
00:06:09.920 --> 00:06:13.160
<v Speaker 2>is one of the smartest players on the field. He's

104
00:06:13.199 --> 00:06:16.519
<v Speaker 2>a goal glove winning second baseman. He's in a great

105
00:06:16.519 --> 00:06:20.319
<v Speaker 2>spot now because he's relaxed. He has a contract extension.

106
00:06:20.600 --> 00:06:26.000
<v Speaker 2>He's a world champion, He's an NLCSMVP. This guy is

107
00:06:26.079 --> 00:06:30.879
<v Speaker 2>not only a great second baseman, he's a really good shortstop,

108
00:06:30.920 --> 00:06:33.959
<v Speaker 2>and he's a really good center fielder. That fits the

109
00:06:34.000 --> 00:06:38.120
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers perfectly. Here was Tommy after the game tonight. First

110
00:06:38.160 --> 00:06:41.720
<v Speaker 2>of all, Tommy, you gave Yamamoto everything he needed.

111
00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:43.279
<v Speaker 3>How good was he tonight?

112
00:06:44.120 --> 00:06:44.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

113
00:06:44.399 --> 00:06:45.040
<v Speaker 4>He was unreal.

114
00:06:45.120 --> 00:06:48.319
<v Speaker 5>You know, he's been pretty much automatic all year. You know,

115
00:06:48.360 --> 00:06:52.040
<v Speaker 5>he's just going, you know, absolutely absolute control of domination.

116
00:06:52.680 --> 00:06:55.000
<v Speaker 5>But it's fun to watch, fun to kind of think

117
00:06:55.040 --> 00:06:57.199
<v Speaker 5>alongside him when I'm out there in the field and

118
00:06:57.279 --> 00:06:59.360
<v Speaker 5>just see in the pitches he makes and his commands

119
00:06:59.360 --> 00:07:00.000
<v Speaker 5>just unbelievable.

120
00:07:00.240 --> 00:07:03.360
<v Speaker 3>Feels like there's a lot more conviction. Yeah, it really is.

121
00:07:03.399 --> 00:07:04.839
<v Speaker 5>You know, he knows what he's doing, knows what he

122
00:07:04.879 --> 00:07:07.360
<v Speaker 5>wants to do with each hitter, and you know, he's

123
00:07:07.360 --> 00:07:08.040
<v Speaker 5>just executing.

124
00:07:08.519 --> 00:07:11.680
<v Speaker 2>Did you feel like seeing boyd more and more, you

125
00:07:11.720 --> 00:07:15.360
<v Speaker 2>guys were starting to catch on to what his sequenccen was,

126
00:07:15.600 --> 00:07:16.800
<v Speaker 2>whatever he was trying to do.

127
00:07:17.800 --> 00:07:20.800
<v Speaker 5>I think just he just performed better more and more times.

128
00:07:20.800 --> 00:07:22.560
<v Speaker 5>You see a guy, you know, second time through line

129
00:07:22.600 --> 00:07:24.160
<v Speaker 5>up a little bit better, third time through lineup a

130
00:07:24.199 --> 00:07:26.000
<v Speaker 5>little bit better. And I don't want to say we

131
00:07:26.040 --> 00:07:28.000
<v Speaker 5>got to him, but we were able to scratch stretch

132
00:07:28.000 --> 00:07:30.040
<v Speaker 5>across a few runs and that third time through the lineup,

133
00:07:30.360 --> 00:07:31.839
<v Speaker 5>but he just did a good job kind of throughout

134
00:07:31.839 --> 00:07:32.839
<v Speaker 5>the game up to that point.

135
00:07:33.000 --> 00:07:36.079
<v Speaker 2>You keep hitting four hundred foot home runs, that Tommy

136
00:07:36.120 --> 00:07:37.519
<v Speaker 2>Tanks nickname is gonna stick.

137
00:07:37.920 --> 00:07:39.079
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, we'll see, we'll see.

138
00:07:39.160 --> 00:07:41.879
<v Speaker 5>Not trying to do that, but you know, whatever happens happens.

139
00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:42.920
<v Speaker 3>That's why it's special.

140
00:07:43.199 --> 00:07:43.560
<v Speaker 6>That's right.

141
00:07:43.600 --> 00:07:44.279
<v Speaker 4>Appreciate it.

142
00:07:44.319 --> 00:07:47.600
<v Speaker 3>Thanks, Tommy. Thank you get to see it all right.

143
00:07:47.639 --> 00:07:48.879
<v Speaker 3>Good to see you too, Tommy.

144
00:07:48.920 --> 00:07:51.600
<v Speaker 2>Great to see you, especially after hitting a four hundred

145
00:07:51.600 --> 00:07:54.839
<v Speaker 2>and twenty three foot go ahead three run home run.

146
00:07:55.199 --> 00:07:58.120
<v Speaker 2>Eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy is

147
00:07:58.120 --> 00:08:01.160
<v Speaker 2>the phone number. Dodgers shut out the Cubs tonight by

148
00:08:01.160 --> 00:08:03.120
<v Speaker 2>a final score of three zip.

149
00:08:03.360 --> 00:08:04.600
<v Speaker 3>Let's go out to Palmdale.

150
00:08:04.720 --> 00:08:10.639
<v Speaker 2>Bruce, You're on Dodger Talk live from Dodger Stadium.

151
00:08:10.839 --> 00:08:11.920
<v Speaker 7>Hey, what a BDV.

152
00:08:12.319 --> 00:08:15.720
<v Speaker 6>I'm actually driving from the game, so I might miss

153
00:08:15.800 --> 00:08:17.000
<v Speaker 6>the call at some point.

154
00:08:17.000 --> 00:08:25.240
<v Speaker 3>The frenchie grooven back to Palmdale. It sounds like all right,

155
00:08:25.360 --> 00:08:26.439
<v Speaker 3>Bruce drives safe.

156
00:08:26.439 --> 00:08:30.360
<v Speaker 2>Who knows, maybe on that Grapevine five where it dies out,

157
00:08:30.399 --> 00:08:33.600
<v Speaker 2>but it sounded like either he lost his voice or man,

158
00:08:33.840 --> 00:08:36.279
<v Speaker 2>he had a good time at the game tonight. Let's

159
00:08:36.279 --> 00:08:39.279
<v Speaker 2>go out to Abby. You're on Dodger Talk Live from

160
00:08:39.320 --> 00:08:40.720
<v Speaker 2>the stadium. How you doing, Abbey?

161
00:08:42.320 --> 00:08:42.919
<v Speaker 8>Hi? Game?

162
00:08:43.080 --> 00:08:43.679
<v Speaker 9>How you doing?

163
00:08:45.320 --> 00:08:46.279
<v Speaker 3>Everything's great?

164
00:08:46.320 --> 00:08:49.360
<v Speaker 2>Happy to be back in La where temperatures are higher

165
00:08:49.440 --> 00:08:50.480
<v Speaker 2>than forty degrees.

166
00:08:52.080 --> 00:08:52.919
<v Speaker 8>Oh my gods.

167
00:08:53.120 --> 00:08:57.600
<v Speaker 10>Honestly, let's just talk about Tommy Edmonds one more time.

168
00:08:58.559 --> 00:09:04.440
<v Speaker 10>MVP man, such a good guy and he's just solid, solid, solid,

169
00:09:04.639 --> 00:09:04.840
<v Speaker 10>you know.

170
00:09:05.080 --> 00:09:05.960
<v Speaker 8>And thank you.

171
00:09:05.960 --> 00:09:09.000
<v Speaker 10>For saying that about Mickey Rowe because I'm screaming my

172
00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:15.159
<v Speaker 10>freaking tail off. He singles amazing and let's just please

173
00:09:15.559 --> 00:09:20.799
<v Speaker 10>ya get that freaking cyang. I love him so much.

174
00:09:20.200 --> 00:09:22.080
<v Speaker 3>All right, Abby, thanks for the phone call.

175
00:09:22.320 --> 00:09:25.679
<v Speaker 2>Eight six six nine eighty seven two five seventy is

176
00:09:25.720 --> 00:09:29.120
<v Speaker 2>the phone number. Dodgers shut out the Cubs tonight three

177
00:09:29.200 --> 00:09:33.519
<v Speaker 2>to nothing on Freddie Freeman bobblehead Night. Freddy, in his

178
00:09:33.559 --> 00:09:37.159
<v Speaker 2>first game back off the IL, was zero for three

179
00:09:37.279 --> 00:09:40.159
<v Speaker 2>with a run scored. He was at first base when

180
00:09:40.200 --> 00:09:43.159
<v Speaker 2>Tommy Edmund hit that go ahead three run home run.

181
00:09:43.360 --> 00:09:46.320
<v Speaker 2>Freddy got hit by a pitch by Matthew Boyd and

182
00:09:46.399 --> 00:09:49.600
<v Speaker 2>Tiascar Hernandez had a single ahead of Freddy. That's how

183
00:09:49.799 --> 00:09:52.559
<v Speaker 2>it turned into a three to nothing lead. Let's go

184
00:09:52.600 --> 00:09:56.120
<v Speaker 2>out to lou in Phoenix. You're at Dodger Talk. How

185
00:09:56.159 --> 00:09:56.879
<v Speaker 2>you doing, lou.

186
00:09:58.399 --> 00:09:59.759
<v Speaker 11>Hey, Dave great to talk to you.

187
00:10:00.080 --> 00:10:02.679
<v Speaker 12>And got back to the stadium.

188
00:10:02.720 --> 00:10:05.200
<v Speaker 11>It was my first time back since the walk off

189
00:10:05.240 --> 00:10:08.399
<v Speaker 11>Freddie home run. I was so pleased to be there, and.

190
00:10:08.720 --> 00:10:11.399
<v Speaker 2>Really that was the last time you were at Dodger Stadium.

191
00:10:11.440 --> 00:10:12.799
<v Speaker 2>That's a pretty cool story.

192
00:10:14.080 --> 00:10:16.120
<v Speaker 11>I remember in the off season you said, tell your

193
00:10:16.120 --> 00:10:18.600
<v Speaker 11>Freddie Freeman walk off story. I was so fortunate to

194
00:10:18.600 --> 00:10:21.159
<v Speaker 11>be there with my good friends, and I have to

195
00:10:21.159 --> 00:10:23.279
<v Speaker 11>tell you you said everything about yamamotive, but what I

196
00:10:23.320 --> 00:10:26.440
<v Speaker 11>was most top pressed tonight was the way he offs

197
00:10:26.720 --> 00:10:29.720
<v Speaker 11>his off speed, you know, moving his speeds around seventy

198
00:10:29.759 --> 00:10:32.879
<v Speaker 11>one seventy three. Then he throws this ninety five ninety

199
00:10:32.879 --> 00:10:35.519
<v Speaker 11>five mile an hour, I mean, and the way he

200
00:10:35.559 --> 00:10:37.960
<v Speaker 11>went after Tucker tonight with that strikeout I think was

201
00:10:37.960 --> 00:10:40.320
<v Speaker 11>in the sixth I mean, you could just see that

202
00:10:40.480 --> 00:10:43.480
<v Speaker 11>he wanted to strike out Tucker. And he's just a

203
00:10:43.600 --> 00:10:46.919
<v Speaker 11>much different pitcher this year. So thanks for identifying that

204
00:10:47.000 --> 00:10:49.480
<v Speaker 11>earlier in the year, and we appreciate everything you do

205
00:10:49.559 --> 00:10:50.039
<v Speaker 11>for a TV.

206
00:10:51.360 --> 00:10:54.320
<v Speaker 3>Hey, thank you, Lou. Appreciate the phone call. Pretty cool.

207
00:10:54.399 --> 00:10:57.279
<v Speaker 2>Last time he was at Dodger Stadium was for Freddy's

208
00:10:57.600 --> 00:11:00.480
<v Speaker 2>walk off Grand Slam in Game one of the World Series,

209
00:11:00.480 --> 00:11:03.600
<v Speaker 2>and tonight we celebrated that with the bobblehead.

210
00:11:03.759 --> 00:11:05.399
<v Speaker 3>So I like those stories.

211
00:11:05.399 --> 00:11:08.360
<v Speaker 2>And like I said during spring training, I don't care

212
00:11:08.399 --> 00:11:11.799
<v Speaker 2>if the Dodgers win ten to nothing, get beat up

213
00:11:12.159 --> 00:11:16.240
<v Speaker 2>eleven to nothing. I will never get tired of hearing

214
00:11:16.320 --> 00:11:19.919
<v Speaker 2>your stories of where you were when Freddie Freeman hit

215
00:11:20.000 --> 00:11:22.919
<v Speaker 2>his walk off Grand Slam. I love hearing the stories

216
00:11:22.960 --> 00:11:26.240
<v Speaker 2>of where people were when Kurk Gibson hit his walk

217
00:11:26.240 --> 00:11:29.159
<v Speaker 2>off home run in nineteen eighty eight. And I'll never

218
00:11:29.200 --> 00:11:32.399
<v Speaker 2>get tired of hearing about where you were when Freddie

219
00:11:32.399 --> 00:11:35.960
<v Speaker 2>Freeman hit his walk off Grand Slam in Game one

220
00:11:36.000 --> 00:11:39.480
<v Speaker 2>of the World Series. Let's go out to Howard in Porterville.

221
00:11:39.519 --> 00:11:40.519
<v Speaker 2>You're on Dodger Talk.

222
00:11:40.600 --> 00:11:43.320
<v Speaker 8>How you doing, Howard doing good?

223
00:11:43.440 --> 00:11:45.960
<v Speaker 12>Doing good? Good to talk to you again, my friends.

224
00:11:48.039 --> 00:11:50.159
<v Speaker 12>I just had a couple of a few comments. If

225
00:11:50.279 --> 00:11:55.039
<v Speaker 12>that's okay. I think the fans need to give Max

226
00:11:55.159 --> 00:12:00.360
<v Speaker 12>Monthsey a break. He's a great ball player. I think

227
00:12:00.360 --> 00:12:03.679
<v Speaker 12>it's a good thing that the Dodger management does not

228
00:12:03.919 --> 00:12:08.720
<v Speaker 12>consult the fans on personnel decision. I think the Dodger management,

229
00:12:09.320 --> 00:12:12.879
<v Speaker 12>Dave Roberts and Andrew Friedman and the rest of his staff,

230
00:12:13.639 --> 00:12:18.720
<v Speaker 12>they know better who to put on the field than

231
00:12:18.799 --> 00:12:21.679
<v Speaker 12>people who have little or no baseball experience.

232
00:12:22.360 --> 00:12:22.919
<v Speaker 8>Not to foal.

233
00:12:22.960 --> 00:12:26.480
<v Speaker 3>Okay, well that's that's a little harsh.

234
00:12:26.600 --> 00:12:29.600
<v Speaker 2>I appreciate what you and other fans have to say,

235
00:12:29.639 --> 00:12:32.279
<v Speaker 2>but yeah, I agree with you. It was getting a

236
00:12:32.320 --> 00:12:35.279
<v Speaker 2>little bit too much for me on that last road trip.

237
00:12:35.320 --> 00:12:38.759
<v Speaker 2>As far as people come in after Max Munsey, eight

238
00:12:38.840 --> 00:12:42.480
<v Speaker 2>six six nine seven two five seventy is the phone number.

239
00:12:42.840 --> 00:12:47.639
<v Speaker 2>Another low key Dodger performance tonight was Kirby Yates, who

240
00:12:47.720 --> 00:12:51.840
<v Speaker 2>came in after Yamamotos scoreless six to keep the Cubs

241
00:12:51.879 --> 00:12:55.919
<v Speaker 2>down for a scoreless seventh inning and in the process

242
00:12:56.000 --> 00:12:59.519
<v Speaker 2>striking out two more batters. The reason why I bring

243
00:12:59.559 --> 00:13:02.679
<v Speaker 2>that up Kirby Yates so far to start the year

244
00:13:03.080 --> 00:13:06.600
<v Speaker 2>has only thrown seven and a third innings, but has

245
00:13:06.919 --> 00:13:11.759
<v Speaker 2>fifteen strikeouts. Hitters are only hitting one fifty four. That's

246
00:13:11.799 --> 00:13:15.360
<v Speaker 2>another pretty good pickup during this offseason. And speaking of

247
00:13:15.360 --> 00:13:18.919
<v Speaker 2>the bullpen, just to shout out to the Dodgers Dogs

248
00:13:18.919 --> 00:13:23.639
<v Speaker 2>from last year's World Series Championship. They led by Blake Trinen,

249
00:13:24.120 --> 00:13:28.159
<v Speaker 2>met Ryan Braser who's now on the Cubs in front

250
00:13:28.200 --> 00:13:32.120
<v Speaker 2>of the Cubs dugout and they had Ryan Brazier's twenty

251
00:13:32.159 --> 00:13:35.559
<v Speaker 2>twenty four World Series rings. So that was really cool

252
00:13:35.559 --> 00:13:38.240
<v Speaker 2>to see how the guys organized to go out there

253
00:13:38.480 --> 00:13:42.440
<v Speaker 2>all together to present Ryan Brasier with his ring. And

254
00:13:42.720 --> 00:13:46.159
<v Speaker 2>part of the reason why Ryan Brazier has that ring

255
00:13:46.320 --> 00:13:50.320
<v Speaker 2>is because of World Series MVP Freddie Freeman, who was

256
00:13:50.360 --> 00:13:53.159
<v Speaker 2>back in the starting lineup tonight on his babblehead night

257
00:13:53.240 --> 00:13:55.919
<v Speaker 2>with his family out here. It was a special night

258
00:13:55.960 --> 00:13:59.240
<v Speaker 2>for the Freemans, but especially for Freddy that he was

259
00:13:59.279 --> 00:14:01.600
<v Speaker 2>back in the lineup up after being on the IL

260
00:14:02.080 --> 00:14:05.960
<v Speaker 2>for the first time since twenty seventeen. Yeah, that was

261
00:14:06.000 --> 00:14:09.759
<v Speaker 2>the last time Freddy's been on the IL, but he

262
00:14:09.879 --> 00:14:12.039
<v Speaker 2>certainly should have.

263
00:14:12.039 --> 00:14:14.799
<v Speaker 3>Been on there to begin the year. But he wants

264
00:14:14.840 --> 00:14:15.600
<v Speaker 3>to be out there.

265
00:14:15.759 --> 00:14:18.200
<v Speaker 2>He takes a lot of pride in that, and maybe

266
00:14:18.240 --> 00:14:20.960
<v Speaker 2>that slip in the shower was a blessing in disguise

267
00:14:21.120 --> 00:14:25.480
<v Speaker 2>because it gave Freddy that opportunity to give that right ankle,

268
00:14:25.519 --> 00:14:29.639
<v Speaker 2>which was surgically repaired during the offseason, a little chance

269
00:14:29.759 --> 00:14:33.600
<v Speaker 2>to just catch its breadth. Here was Freddy before today's game,

270
00:14:33.759 --> 00:14:37.480
<v Speaker 2>just talking about where he's at and accepting the fact that, yeah,

271
00:14:37.519 --> 00:14:40.960
<v Speaker 2>there might be days where the right ankle is inflamed

272
00:14:40.960 --> 00:14:42.720
<v Speaker 2>and he's gonna have to take a day off.

273
00:14:43.279 --> 00:14:46.159
<v Speaker 13>I do think it will be not day to day,

274
00:14:46.200 --> 00:14:49.200
<v Speaker 13>but I think maybe series of series, like how I

275
00:14:49.240 --> 00:14:51.919
<v Speaker 13>feel on Sunday on my third game in a row,

276
00:14:52.559 --> 00:14:55.480
<v Speaker 13>How do I feel on Monday? So I do feel

277
00:14:55.559 --> 00:14:58.200
<v Speaker 13>really good, but I will in my mind, I'm coming

278
00:14:58.200 --> 00:15:00.720
<v Speaker 13>in playing every game, and then if they go like hey,

279
00:15:01.080 --> 00:15:02.799
<v Speaker 13>or like how do you feel? Maybe my joint is

280
00:15:02.799 --> 00:15:05.039
<v Speaker 13>a little complaining from playing five games in a row

281
00:15:05.120 --> 00:15:07.240
<v Speaker 13>or something like that, maybe we be smart about it

282
00:15:07.279 --> 00:15:09.399
<v Speaker 13>to make sure I make it through. I would be

283
00:15:09.480 --> 00:15:12.120
<v Speaker 13>open to that, but in my mind right now, I'm

284
00:15:12.200 --> 00:15:13.600
<v Speaker 13>going every.

285
00:15:13.360 --> 00:15:15.799
<v Speaker 4>Game until something told me otherwise. I look at it.

286
00:15:15.799 --> 00:15:18.320
<v Speaker 13>I had surgery on my ankles. It's not my age.

287
00:15:18.360 --> 00:15:20.840
<v Speaker 13>It's not like it's an age thing. I rolled my

288
00:15:20.840 --> 00:15:23.039
<v Speaker 13>ankle and I tore our ligaments on the left side

289
00:15:23.039 --> 00:15:24.720
<v Speaker 13>and the right side and chipped off carlage and I

290
00:15:24.720 --> 00:15:26.639
<v Speaker 13>had surgery four months ago, so I'm not looking at

291
00:15:26.679 --> 00:15:28.759
<v Speaker 13>it as an age thing. I feel like I keep

292
00:15:28.759 --> 00:15:30.879
<v Speaker 13>myself in great shape. I feel like I was playing

293
00:15:30.919 --> 00:15:33.639
<v Speaker 13>really good, playing good baseball before I got the little mishap.

294
00:15:33.720 --> 00:15:36.039
<v Speaker 13>I guess you could say age of falling in a bathtub,

295
00:15:36.200 --> 00:15:38.720
<v Speaker 13>maybe that could be it, but I feel good. I

296
00:15:38.759 --> 00:15:40.799
<v Speaker 13>wouldn't say this is an age injury. I just hurt

297
00:15:40.840 --> 00:15:42.840
<v Speaker 13>myself trying to ampoid it. Tag it for space.

298
00:15:44.039 --> 00:15:44.960
<v Speaker 3>I agree with Freddy.

299
00:15:45.080 --> 00:15:49.559
<v Speaker 2>Anybody that's going to insinuate the reason why he's hurt

300
00:15:49.559 --> 00:15:53.080
<v Speaker 2>his right ankle is because of age, I completely disagree.

301
00:15:53.440 --> 00:15:54.879
<v Speaker 3>Freddy hasn't missed a beat.

302
00:15:55.279 --> 00:15:57.879
<v Speaker 2>If he was too old, he wouldn't have been able

303
00:15:57.919 --> 00:16:01.320
<v Speaker 2>to even play during the host season last year. So

304
00:16:01.399 --> 00:16:04.279
<v Speaker 2>not only did he fight through a right ankle injury,

305
00:16:04.320 --> 00:16:06.960
<v Speaker 2>but also he had the left rib issue as well.

306
00:16:07.080 --> 00:16:10.720
<v Speaker 2>So you know it's we're not talking about Albert Pooholz

307
00:16:10.759 --> 00:16:12.879
<v Speaker 2>at the end of his career. Here, there's a lot

308
00:16:12.919 --> 00:16:16.440
<v Speaker 2>more baseball left for Freddie Freeman. Eight six six nine

309
00:16:16.679 --> 00:16:19.519
<v Speaker 2>seven two five seventy is the phone number. Let's go

310
00:16:19.600 --> 00:16:23.080
<v Speaker 2>back out to the phones. Lauren, you're on Dodger Talk. Yes,

311
00:16:23.320 --> 00:16:25.639
<v Speaker 2>you did not win anything, Lauren, all you're going to.

312
00:16:25.600 --> 00:16:26.240
<v Speaker 3>Do is talk to me.

313
00:16:27.720 --> 00:16:28.799
<v Speaker 9>Hi, Dave, how are you.

314
00:16:30.080 --> 00:16:33.360
<v Speaker 2>I'm doing great. Got to see my guy Justin Turner today.

315
00:16:33.679 --> 00:16:35.960
<v Speaker 2>The Dodgers won, so it was a good Friday.

316
00:16:36.120 --> 00:16:38.879
<v Speaker 9>We didn't we were there, so it's me and my

317
00:16:38.919 --> 00:16:41.519
<v Speaker 9>girl Audrey were here heading back home.

318
00:16:41.720 --> 00:16:43.360
<v Speaker 8>Hey, Audrey, we were kind of bummed.

319
00:16:43.720 --> 00:16:46.519
<v Speaker 9>We were bumbed. But JT didn't kind of get his moment.

320
00:16:46.559 --> 00:16:48.039
<v Speaker 9>And I know he's not a Dodger and I know

321
00:16:48.080 --> 00:16:50.440
<v Speaker 9>it's been a long time, but I guess he's just

322
00:16:50.480 --> 00:16:51.960
<v Speaker 9>still our one of our favorites.

323
00:16:52.240 --> 00:16:54.159
<v Speaker 3>And he got his moment.

324
00:16:54.000 --> 00:16:56.240
<v Speaker 2>Last year when he came in, when he came in

325
00:16:56.279 --> 00:16:58.759
<v Speaker 2>with his team last year, they gave him jersey.

326
00:16:59.600 --> 00:17:00.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

327
00:17:00.360 --> 00:17:02.480
<v Speaker 2>I hope he gets into one of these two games

328
00:17:02.519 --> 00:17:06.079
<v Speaker 2>because he's probably not going to start with two right

329
00:17:06.119 --> 00:17:08.920
<v Speaker 2>handers starting the next two days. But yeah, it would

330
00:17:08.960 --> 00:17:11.839
<v Speaker 2>be cool to have a Dodger vision. Put the camera

331
00:17:11.880 --> 00:17:14.799
<v Speaker 2>on Justin Turner in the Cubs dugout one of the

332
00:17:14.839 --> 00:17:17.920
<v Speaker 2>next two games, so he could be celebrated by Lauren

333
00:17:18.000 --> 00:17:19.640
<v Speaker 2>and Audrey and the rest of the fans.

334
00:17:21.240 --> 00:17:24.279
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, and then one thing, so Yoshi was lights out

335
00:17:25.119 --> 00:17:28.160
<v Speaker 9>beautiful performance. He's looking really really he was looking really

336
00:17:28.200 --> 00:17:31.599
<v Speaker 9>good tonight. But also I want to highlight Tommy Edmund.

337
00:17:31.720 --> 00:17:34.119
<v Speaker 9>I feel like we have the stars, we have the show. Hey,

338
00:17:34.200 --> 00:17:37.079
<v Speaker 9>we have Fridy Freeman, we have Mookie bet and Teo.

339
00:17:37.759 --> 00:17:43.200
<v Speaker 9>But man Edmund is fantastic, just touch at all the

340
00:17:43.279 --> 00:17:47.440
<v Speaker 9>right times, his offense, his defense. He's just like the

341
00:17:47.519 --> 00:17:51.920
<v Speaker 9>low key player that I feel like Dodgers are known for.

342
00:17:53.720 --> 00:17:56.799
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean he is kind of the same type

343
00:17:56.839 --> 00:18:01.279
<v Speaker 2>of ilk from the key k Chris Taylor satility department.

344
00:18:01.359 --> 00:18:05.119
<v Speaker 3>But he is a really good player and low key.

345
00:18:05.359 --> 00:18:09.519
<v Speaker 2>Him and Tioscar Hernandez have been probably the most consistent

346
00:18:09.640 --> 00:18:12.480
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers to begin the year. Hey, I got a run,

347
00:18:12.559 --> 00:18:14.599
<v Speaker 2>we got a full boarder calls. Thanks a lot for

<v Speaker 3>What do you got tonight, Richard?

355
00:18:33.240 --> 00:18:35.960
<v Speaker 8>You know, mister David, last time we talked was I

356
00:18:36.000 --> 00:18:38.759
<v Speaker 8>believe the first game of the NLDS. We were talking

357
00:18:38.759 --> 00:18:41.279
<v Speaker 8>about Tommy and how great he was, and that still

358
00:18:41.279 --> 00:18:46.279
<v Speaker 8>holds true today. But today, you know, Kirby Yates, Tanner Scott,

359
00:18:46.319 --> 00:18:48.160
<v Speaker 8>I've got to admit I didn't know too much about

360
00:18:48.240 --> 00:18:50.880
<v Speaker 8>him coming in, you know, to the new season, but

361
00:18:51.039 --> 00:18:53.559
<v Speaker 8>from what they've done so far, it's just been it's

362
00:18:53.599 --> 00:18:54.480
<v Speaker 8>just been lights out.

363
00:18:54.519 --> 00:18:55.319
<v Speaker 7>It's just been great.

364
00:18:55.400 --> 00:18:59.119
<v Speaker 8>And they they came in after Yoshi and had his back.

365
00:18:59.200 --> 00:19:02.960
<v Speaker 8>It was amazing. Freddy Freddy got hit a couple of times.

366
00:19:03.000 --> 00:19:04.920
<v Speaker 8>I'm not sure. I'm not too sure how I or not.

367
00:19:04.920 --> 00:19:06.559
<v Speaker 8>Actually a couple of times, just once and then somebody

368
00:19:06.599 --> 00:19:08.519
<v Speaker 8>else got hit. I forgot who it was, and I'm

369
00:19:08.519 --> 00:19:10.920
<v Speaker 8>not too sure how I feel about that, but I'm

370
00:19:10.920 --> 00:19:13.880
<v Speaker 8>still grateful that we got to win. I'm really excited

371
00:19:13.880 --> 00:19:16.599
<v Speaker 8>about Yoshi. You know, he came in, he dominated, and

372
00:19:16.640 --> 00:19:19.440
<v Speaker 8>that got me thinking a little bit about mister Rokie.

373
00:19:19.480 --> 00:19:19.680
<v Speaker 14>You know.

374
00:19:19.759 --> 00:19:22.000
<v Speaker 8>I know he didn't have the greatest debut, but neither

375
00:19:22.039 --> 00:19:24.160
<v Speaker 8>did Yoshie, and look at him. Now they've all come

376
00:19:24.200 --> 00:19:26.599
<v Speaker 8>back and they and I really have faith that they're gonna,

377
00:19:26.839 --> 00:19:28.920
<v Speaker 8>you know, come back and shut it down for us.

378
00:19:29.759 --> 00:19:31.480
<v Speaker 8>I really feel great about what we have and I

379
00:19:31.559 --> 00:19:34.119
<v Speaker 8>really feel great about what we're doing, and I just

380
00:19:34.440 --> 00:19:35.960
<v Speaker 8>I like the direction of going and I still have

381
00:19:35.960 --> 00:19:37.519
<v Speaker 8>faith in everyone. Thanks for taking my call.

382
00:19:38.279 --> 00:19:39.960
<v Speaker 3>All right, Richard, get home safe.

383
00:19:40.400 --> 00:19:42.960
<v Speaker 2>Yes, Tommy, Edmond also got hit by a pitch, so

384
00:19:43.000 --> 00:19:46.960
<v Speaker 2>you're right. Two Dodgers got hit tonight, but nothing intentional.

385
00:19:47.279 --> 00:19:50.440
<v Speaker 2>Don't try to start drama here, there's no drama. Eight

426
00:22:02.720 --> 00:22:09.119
<v Speaker 14>I'll tell you what year, absolutely game one. Last year

427
00:22:09.160 --> 00:22:12.319
<v Speaker 14>I was there for the walk off. This time around,

428
00:22:12.319 --> 00:22:14.720
<v Speaker 14>I brought my seven year old son. We weren't gonna

429
00:22:14.720 --> 00:22:17.200
<v Speaker 14>miss this one. We were at the show, hey with

430
00:22:17.279 --> 00:22:20.240
<v Speaker 14>the walk off on the Bibbleheads. Not too long ago.

431
00:22:20.640 --> 00:22:23.200
<v Speaker 14>We were hoping we would get a Freddie Freeman home run,

432
00:22:23.240 --> 00:22:26.680
<v Speaker 14>but we will settle for Tommy Tanks three run shot.

433
00:22:26.960 --> 00:22:29.599
<v Speaker 14>When it was zero zero six inning, everybody in the

434
00:22:29.640 --> 00:22:32.039
<v Speaker 14>stands were kind of you know, little buzz was there,

435
00:22:32.079 --> 00:22:35.039
<v Speaker 14>but we weren't worried about it. We knew that our team,

436
00:22:35.039 --> 00:22:37.480
<v Speaker 14>of our camaraderie, we were just gonna come through. The

437
00:22:37.519 --> 00:22:38.559
<v Speaker 14>defense was playing well.

438
00:22:38.799 --> 00:22:40.880
<v Speaker 7>I know, we get a little little.

439
00:22:40.880 --> 00:22:43.839
<v Speaker 14>You know, little rift rap on the defense, but they

440
00:22:43.880 --> 00:22:46.160
<v Speaker 14>stepped up tonight. A lot of people ain't talking about

441
00:22:46.160 --> 00:22:47.680
<v Speaker 14>that play on second base.

442
00:22:47.680 --> 00:22:50.240
<v Speaker 7>When Tom story about.

443
00:22:50.000 --> 00:22:53.279
<v Speaker 3>Where you were for Freddy's Grand Slam, not recap.

444
00:22:52.960 --> 00:22:58.119
<v Speaker 14>The whole Freddie's Grand Slam. We were behind about seven

445
00:22:58.200 --> 00:23:02.480
<v Speaker 14>rows behind first base. We got a last minute ticket, man, you.

446
00:23:02.440 --> 00:23:04.480
<v Speaker 3>Know, load level reserve.

447
00:23:04.559 --> 00:23:06.680
<v Speaker 7>Where were you at lower level?

448
00:23:06.960 --> 00:23:09.960
<v Speaker 14>About seven rows back from first base? Dugout?

449
00:23:10.839 --> 00:23:13.119
<v Speaker 3>Oh, I had a good view. You had a great view.

450
00:23:13.200 --> 00:23:15.920
<v Speaker 14>You had a good view. It was a hooky jumping

451
00:23:16.039 --> 00:23:19.559
<v Speaker 14>up and down over there everything. Yeah, I got that

452
00:23:19.640 --> 00:23:22.160
<v Speaker 14>on Instagram. We got about eight thousand likes on that one.

453
00:23:22.200 --> 00:23:24.039
<v Speaker 14>It's still up there.

454

<v Speaker 2>Oh, like, man, that's amazing, Alex, thank you for the

456
00:23:30.279 --> 00:23:33.799

<v Speaker 2>that grand slam means that much more. Thank you for

458
00:23:37.599 --> 00:23:40.680
<v Speaker 2>the phone call. Eight six six nine eight seven two

459
00:23:40.759 --> 00:23:42.240
<v Speaker 2>five seventy is the phone number?

460
00:23:42.359 --> 00:23:42.599
<v Speaker 4>Really?

461
00:23:42.640 --> 00:23:43.759
<v Speaker 3>Is that what it's come down to.

462
00:23:44.279 --> 00:23:48.400
<v Speaker 2>People are trying to validate their videos with likes, the

463
00:23:48.480 --> 00:23:49.359
<v Speaker 2>number of likes.

464
00:23:50.240 --> 00:23:53.000
<v Speaker 3>I'm not chasing likes. I'm not chasing likes.

465
00:23:53.079 --> 00:23:56.759
<v Speaker 2>I'm chasing other things, but I'm not chasing likes, all right,

466
00:23:57.000 --> 00:23:59.079
<v Speaker 2>justin Turner, He's not chasing likes.

467
00:23:59.359 --> 00:24:02.000
<v Speaker 3>People love him in Los Angeles. Seek to wear a Red.

468
00:24:01.880 --> 00:24:06.279
<v Speaker 2>Sox uniform, a Blue Jay uniform, and even a Cubs uniform,

469
00:24:06.559 --> 00:24:09.400
<v Speaker 2>and everybody in LA still loves him. You heard that

470
00:24:09.440 --> 00:24:12.400
<v Speaker 2>caller earlier. They all wanted to see Justin Turner on

471
00:24:12.440 --> 00:24:15.720
<v Speaker 2>the big screen. Hopefully that happens the next two nights,

472
00:24:16.079 --> 00:24:18.079
<v Speaker 2>And we had a chance to catch up with Justin

473
00:24:18.240 --> 00:24:21.279
<v Speaker 2>on the pregame show, and I was curious to get

474
00:24:21.319 --> 00:24:24.799
<v Speaker 2>his thoughts on the Dodgers off season and this version

475
00:24:25.440 --> 00:24:29.119
<v Speaker 2>of the Dodgers in twenty twenty five from your perspective,

476
00:24:29.319 --> 00:24:32.119
<v Speaker 2>What do you think about this version of the Dodgers

477
00:24:32.160 --> 00:24:33.200
<v Speaker 2>the last couple of years?

478
00:24:33.960 --> 00:24:35.240
<v Speaker 4>Hey, is a commitment to winning.

479
00:24:35.480 --> 00:24:38.079
<v Speaker 15>You know, there's rules, the same rules are in play

480
00:24:38.119 --> 00:24:39.119
<v Speaker 15>for everyone.

481
00:24:38.759 --> 00:24:43.000
<v Speaker 4>And I don't I think it's great. I think it's

482
00:24:43.000 --> 00:24:43.920
<v Speaker 4>great for the game to.

483
00:24:43.920 --> 00:24:48.759
<v Speaker 15>Have owners that you know, are all in and want

484
00:24:48.799 --> 00:24:51.319
<v Speaker 15>to go out and make their team as.

485
00:24:50.799 --> 00:24:52.319
<v Speaker 4>Good as they can possibly make it.

486
00:24:52.359 --> 00:24:55.960
<v Speaker 15>And it doesn't matter how many top tier free agents

487
00:24:56.000 --> 00:24:59.119
<v Speaker 15>are out there, they want to bring them all in.

488
00:24:59.240 --> 00:25:02.680
<v Speaker 15>And I with you know, the success the Dodgers have

489
00:25:02.720 --> 00:25:05.000
<v Speaker 15>had over the years. Uh, you know a lot of

490
00:25:05.039 --> 00:25:07.519
<v Speaker 15>guys you don't want to come and be a part

491
00:25:07.519 --> 00:25:07.759
<v Speaker 15>of it.

492
00:25:07.839 --> 00:25:10.640
<v Speaker 4>So, you know, it's good to see.

493
00:25:11.039 --> 00:25:14.640
<v Speaker 15>You kind of hope that more teams will you know,

494
00:25:14.799 --> 00:25:18.200
<v Speaker 15>fall in line to you know, competing in the free

495
00:25:18.200 --> 00:25:21.279
<v Speaker 15>agent market and trying to make their team as competitive

496
00:25:21.319 --> 00:25:23.920
<v Speaker 15>as possible as well, But you never know what's going

497
00:25:23.920 --> 00:25:25.440
<v Speaker 15>to happen. I've heard all kinds of stuff and all

498
00:25:25.480 --> 00:25:28.240
<v Speaker 15>kinds of takes and angles on it. But you know,

499
00:25:28.279 --> 00:25:30.400
<v Speaker 15>the rules are the rules, and they're playing by the rules.

500
00:25:30.440 --> 00:25:32.960
<v Speaker 15>So you know, if you don't like it, you know,

501
00:25:33.519 --> 00:25:34.759
<v Speaker 15>maybe following their footsteps.

502
00:25:34.839 --> 00:25:35.039
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

503
00:25:35.200 --> 00:25:38.559
<v Speaker 2>Bryce Sharper said that in Philadelphia, whoever complains about it

504
00:25:38.599 --> 00:25:40.599
<v Speaker 2>has a loser mentality.

505
00:25:40.680 --> 00:25:40.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

506
00:25:40.920 --> 00:25:42.519
<v Speaker 4>I don't disagree with Bryce.

507
00:25:42.640 --> 00:25:46.160
<v Speaker 15>I think you know, the goal should be if you

508
00:25:46.400 --> 00:25:50.319
<v Speaker 15>if you in this game any capacity, the goal should

509
00:25:50.319 --> 00:25:52.119
<v Speaker 15>be every year, no matter who you are, no matter

510
00:25:52.160 --> 00:25:55.720
<v Speaker 15>what city you're in, no matter what uniform you're wearing. Uh,

511
00:25:55.880 --> 00:25:57.400
<v Speaker 15>every off season, the goal should be to win a

512
00:25:57.400 --> 00:26:01.839
<v Speaker 15>world championship. And uh, you know, I guess on paper

513
00:26:01.920 --> 00:26:05.559
<v Speaker 15>it appears that some teams are you know, more hungry

514
00:26:05.640 --> 00:26:06.400
<v Speaker 15>for that than others.

515
00:26:07.960 --> 00:26:10.839
<v Speaker 2>All Right, there's Justin Turner and his take on the

516
00:26:10.880 --> 00:26:14.240
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty five Dodgers and just the team, the machine

517
00:26:14.279 --> 00:26:17.960
<v Speaker 2>that they have built. He obviously knows how committed the

518
00:26:18.039 --> 00:26:20.559
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers ownership is to winning. He was a part of

519
00:26:20.559 --> 00:26:24.839
<v Speaker 2>it for almost ten years. So no sour grapes from

520
00:26:25.000 --> 00:26:28.440
<v Speaker 2>Justin Turner's side, He's all in for anybody that wants

521
00:26:28.480 --> 00:26:31.079
<v Speaker 2>to try to win because he's a winner and that's

522
00:26:31.119 --> 00:26:33.559
<v Speaker 2>why he signed with the Cubs. And if you would

523
00:26:33.599 --> 00:26:37.920
<v Speaker 2>love to hear our full conversation with World Series Champion

524
00:26:38.160 --> 00:26:41.759
<v Speaker 2>Justin Turner, you can find it on the iHeartRadio app.

525
00:26:41.880 --> 00:26:46.160
<v Speaker 2>Time to check in with another fellow cal State Fullerton Titan.

526
00:26:47.039 --> 00:26:50.920
<v Speaker 1>It's time to go around the horn with Jose Mota.

527
00:26:52.279 --> 00:26:52.720
<v Speaker 3>That's right.

528
00:26:52.799 --> 00:26:57.240
<v Speaker 2>Jose Mota played college baseball at cal State Fullerton many years,

529
00:26:57.559 --> 00:26:59.759
<v Speaker 2>many many years before Justin.

530
00:27:00.599 --> 00:27:02.920
<v Speaker 6>Hi, Jose, how old does that make me?

531
00:27:03.000 --> 00:27:03.119
<v Speaker 10>Then?

532
00:27:03.200 --> 00:27:03.400
<v Speaker 6>Dave?

533
00:27:04.680 --> 00:27:05.200
<v Speaker 3>Very old?

534
00:27:07.000 --> 00:27:07.480
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I do.

535
00:27:07.759 --> 00:27:10.000
<v Speaker 6>But you know what, Titans know how to win rings

536
00:27:10.000 --> 00:27:11.240
<v Speaker 6>and I got the ring.

537
00:27:11.119 --> 00:27:13.720
<v Speaker 3>Brother, that's right, so does JT.

538
00:27:13.960 --> 00:27:16.240
<v Speaker 2>J T one of those few guys that has a

539
00:27:16.279 --> 00:27:19.319
<v Speaker 2>college World Series ring and World Series ring.

540
00:27:20.000 --> 00:27:22.960
<v Speaker 6>That's beautiful. That's beautiful. You know what is good to

541
00:27:23.000 --> 00:27:24.559
<v Speaker 6>hear from JT. He's such a big part of the

542
00:27:24.680 --> 00:27:26.200
<v Speaker 6>you know, the whole thing that started with him and

543
00:27:26.319 --> 00:27:29.119
<v Speaker 6>that the whole group and I bet and talking to him,

544
00:27:29.279 --> 00:27:31.119
<v Speaker 6>he feels like he was actually part of the winning

545
00:27:31.160 --> 00:27:32.960
<v Speaker 6>championship last year. It's so special.

546
00:27:34.039 --> 00:27:38.440
<v Speaker 2>It certainly was. How about Yamamoto. He's really special this year. Jose,

547
00:27:38.720 --> 00:27:41.599
<v Speaker 2>You like my big man Cy Young top three maybe

548
00:27:41.680 --> 00:27:42.200
<v Speaker 2>number one.

549
00:27:43.039 --> 00:27:45.440
<v Speaker 6>You told me that in the press box as we're

550
00:27:45.440 --> 00:27:50.039
<v Speaker 6>doing an interview at Salt River Fields. He sase top

551
00:27:50.079 --> 00:27:51.680
<v Speaker 6>three and you asked me what was going to be

552
00:27:51.680 --> 00:27:53.720
<v Speaker 6>the key, and you're like, don't tell me about health.

553
00:27:53.759 --> 00:27:57.319
<v Speaker 6>I'm like, no, he's going to be starting pitching and

554
00:27:57.440 --> 00:28:00.160
<v Speaker 6>starting pitching with a falter. You see all bad it

555
00:28:00.200 --> 00:28:03.039
<v Speaker 6>gets when they're good, and it's beautiful. Yeah, I'm moulto

556
00:28:03.119 --> 00:28:06.359
<v Speaker 6>number one. I noticed in the first setting the bad

557
00:28:06.400 --> 00:28:08.319
<v Speaker 6>against Tucker, who has been one of the best hitters

558
00:28:08.319 --> 00:28:10.920
<v Speaker 6>in baseball this year. He's pitching on different lanes. What

559
00:28:10.960 --> 00:28:13.440
<v Speaker 6>I mean is usually a left had it pitch left

560
00:28:13.440 --> 00:28:15.559
<v Speaker 6>handed hitters. You'll see him miss a lot, and he

561
00:28:15.599 --> 00:28:18.359
<v Speaker 6>wants that chase on the splitter down in a way.

562
00:28:18.720 --> 00:28:21.160
<v Speaker 6>He threw Tucker one down and end, which is something

563
00:28:21.200 --> 00:28:24.000
<v Speaker 6>that he learned last year from Senga, and that opens

564
00:28:24.039 --> 00:28:26.079
<v Speaker 6>up another lane. So he gets Tucker finally with what

565
00:28:26.240 --> 00:28:28.640
<v Speaker 6>a fastball. So he he is just a guy that's

566
00:28:28.960 --> 00:28:31.759
<v Speaker 6>remastering his craft at the big league level. You mentioned

567
00:28:31.759 --> 00:28:35.359
<v Speaker 6>the fact all the things he's getting used to but uh, Dave,

568
00:28:35.440 --> 00:28:37.839
<v Speaker 6>he comes out there and pitches with a belief that

569
00:28:37.920 --> 00:28:39.680
<v Speaker 6>everything he throws is going to be in the zone

570
00:28:40.200 --> 00:28:42.839
<v Speaker 6>and everything he throws is going to be missed. And

571
00:28:42.960 --> 00:28:45.319
<v Speaker 6>on top of that, you mentioned something so important too

572
00:28:45.319 --> 00:28:47.400
<v Speaker 6>that now we keep try with so many things in

573
00:28:47.559 --> 00:28:50.680
<v Speaker 6>the zone. The average is so low under two hundred.

574
00:28:50.680 --> 00:28:52.960
<v Speaker 6>But remember the zone is Dutch just you know, two

575
00:28:53.039 --> 00:28:55.640
<v Speaker 6>or three inches. He knows where to go to in

576
00:28:55.720 --> 00:28:58.359
<v Speaker 6>the zone to make sure that there's more swings and

577
00:28:58.440 --> 00:29:01.119
<v Speaker 6>misses or weak contact because the guy I understand how

578
00:29:01.119 --> 00:29:02.000
<v Speaker 6>to pitch that square.

579
00:29:03.559 --> 00:29:05.839
<v Speaker 2>I don't remember seeing a picture in a long time

580
00:29:05.960 --> 00:29:09.680
<v Speaker 2>Jose being able to dot those corners with the fastball.

581
00:29:10.039 --> 00:29:13.880
<v Speaker 2>Does that just come from having more conviction behind it?

582
00:29:13.960 --> 00:29:16.960
<v Speaker 2>I mean, we heard about the fastball command, But like

583
00:29:17.000 --> 00:29:20.599
<v Speaker 2>I said, he's darting. He's hitting bullseyes in a dark

584
00:29:20.680 --> 00:29:21.519
<v Speaker 2>game right now.

585
00:29:22.079 --> 00:29:24.319
<v Speaker 6>Oh, just look at his eyes. I'm going to tell

586
00:29:24.319 --> 00:29:27.480
<v Speaker 6>the viewers' listeners watch his eyes when he delivers the baseball.

587
00:29:27.680 --> 00:29:31.759
<v Speaker 6>There's no blinking and there's no looking elsewhere about the

588
00:29:31.880 --> 00:29:34.759
<v Speaker 6>target when he's delivering the pitch. That's number one. Number

589
00:29:34.799 --> 00:29:39.440
<v Speaker 6>two is he is able to follow his catcher and

590
00:29:39.480 --> 00:29:44.480
<v Speaker 6>then repeatable mechanics, the simplest mechanics, unorthodox. It worked for

591
00:29:44.559 --> 00:29:46.240
<v Speaker 6>him and that is why he's able to dog the

592
00:29:46.240 --> 00:29:47.160
<v Speaker 6>fastball the way he does.

593
00:29:48.200 --> 00:29:51.200
<v Speaker 2>Jose Mota is jointing us on Dodger talk after the

594
00:29:51.240 --> 00:29:54.400
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers shut out the Cubs three to nothing. All right,

595
00:29:54.480 --> 00:29:59.440
<v Speaker 2>I'll give you your platform here to sing the praises.

596
00:29:59.319 --> 00:30:02.079
<v Speaker 3>Of Tommy Edmund like we all are tonight, Jose.

597
00:30:03.880 --> 00:30:06.440
<v Speaker 6>Tommy Edmund is a ball player. Tommy Edmond, the kind

598
00:30:06.440 --> 00:30:09.079
<v Speaker 6>of guy that the Cardinals regret not having paid more

599
00:30:09.119 --> 00:30:11.759
<v Speaker 6>attention to. Also, at the same time, it goes back

600
00:30:11.799 --> 00:30:15.039
<v Speaker 6>to the Dodgers doing their due diligence on players that

601
00:30:15.119 --> 00:30:17.559
<v Speaker 6>fit the mold and fit the personality and the culture,

602
00:30:17.640 --> 00:30:20.160
<v Speaker 6>and just insisting on a guy that was hurt. He

603
00:30:20.279 --> 00:30:22.319
<v Speaker 6>was hurt, and the guys acquired him, but they want

604
00:30:22.359 --> 00:30:25.720
<v Speaker 6>him him for a long time. Understands the game, understands

605
00:30:25.720 --> 00:30:28.279
<v Speaker 6>his role does not change his mentality on whether he's

606
00:30:28.319 --> 00:30:31.880
<v Speaker 6>hitting first or ninth, or fourth or fifth, and also

607
00:30:32.359 --> 00:30:35.440
<v Speaker 6>understands that it is not just up to him but

608
00:30:35.559 --> 00:30:39.720
<v Speaker 6>boy in terms of maturing and learning and applying something

609
00:30:39.720 --> 00:30:42.160
<v Speaker 6>else to his game. He knew that with the stands

610
00:30:42.559 --> 00:30:44.880
<v Speaker 6>Chitch selection and all the things the Dodgers have provided

611
00:30:44.920 --> 00:30:47.480
<v Speaker 6>for him. His resources, he is applied as good as

612
00:30:47.519 --> 00:30:50.200
<v Speaker 6>anybody I've ever seen on the profile that he brought

613
00:30:50.400 --> 00:30:52.400
<v Speaker 6>to really bring his game to another level. I truly

614
00:30:52.440 --> 00:30:54.839
<v Speaker 6>apply that because it's another testament of a guy that

615
00:30:55.279 --> 00:30:57.319
<v Speaker 6>truly comprehends who he is as a player, but also

616
00:30:57.359 --> 00:30:59.960
<v Speaker 6>knows that there's another level and we are seeing it.

617
00:31:00.240 --> 00:31:01.200
<v Speaker 6>Tommy tanks him played.

618
00:31:02.160 --> 00:31:02.359
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

619
00:31:02.400 --> 00:31:05.759
<v Speaker 2>I know we always talk about outfielders being five tool players,

620
00:31:05.799 --> 00:31:08.519
<v Speaker 2>but I feel like you could describe Tommy Edmond as

621
00:31:08.559 --> 00:31:11.160
<v Speaker 2>a five tool player as well in a different way.

622
00:31:11.799 --> 00:31:13.960
<v Speaker 6>Oh there's no reason why not. I'm talking about this

623
00:31:14.000 --> 00:31:16.200
<v Speaker 6>today with Louis Cruise on the broadcast. He made it

624
00:31:16.279 --> 00:31:18.599
<v Speaker 6>throw from center field the other day at ninety two

625
00:31:18.640 --> 00:31:21.039
<v Speaker 6>miles an hour. This doesn't play in the d for

626
00:31:21.039 --> 00:31:23.920
<v Speaker 6>the entire year. It's cold and tough to grab a baseball.

627
00:31:24.079 --> 00:31:26.440
<v Speaker 6>He makes it throw the home play, and it's unreal

628
00:31:26.559 --> 00:31:30.000
<v Speaker 6>way he plays the game, base running anticipation the great

629
00:31:30.000 --> 00:31:32.440
<v Speaker 6>play that he made. Also you know, going to his leb,

630
00:31:32.480 --> 00:31:35.200
<v Speaker 6>but also you know the defense and how important he

631
00:31:35.279 --> 00:31:38.519
<v Speaker 6>is for that piece the Dodgers. Tommy tanks out there.

632
00:31:38.640 --> 00:31:41.160
<v Speaker 6>The cutoff play today was so important, even though he's

633
00:31:41.160 --> 00:31:44.680
<v Speaker 6>not involved, it was pretty much aligning him with the

634
00:31:44.759 --> 00:31:46.559
<v Speaker 6>gap and what he needed to do to make sure

635
00:31:46.599 --> 00:31:49.240
<v Speaker 6>the guys were properly aligned to make that play where

636
00:31:49.440 --> 00:31:51.720
<v Speaker 6>they cut down, you know, Suzubi trying to go around

637
00:31:51.720 --> 00:31:53.960
<v Speaker 6>first base. So he does influence the game in many,

638
00:31:53.960 --> 00:31:56.359
<v Speaker 6>many ways. I'm so glad that he's Warren Blue.

639
00:31:57.279 --> 00:31:59.480
<v Speaker 2>All right, Jose, look forward to seeing you back at

640
00:31:59.519 --> 00:32:02.680
<v Speaker 2>the ball tomorrow. We'll see what Sazaki can do to

641
00:32:02.759 --> 00:32:04.680
<v Speaker 2>build upon his last start.

642
00:32:05.039 --> 00:32:06.720
<v Speaker 6>Pay attention to uh Yamamoto.

643
00:32:06.799 --> 00:32:13.880
<v Speaker 3>That's all okay, sounds good. Yeah, that sounds like good advice. Jose. Yeah,

644
00:32:13.960 --> 00:32:14.319
<v Speaker 3>why not?

645
00:32:15.279 --> 00:32:18.160
<v Speaker 2>There he goes Jose Mota, part of the Dodgers Spanish

646
00:32:18.240 --> 00:32:22.759
<v Speaker 2>radio broadcast. Yeah, you know, watch Yamamoto, watch how he

647
00:32:23.000 --> 00:32:26.119
<v Speaker 2>commands his fastball and everything else plays off of it.

648
00:32:26.519 --> 00:32:30.519
<v Speaker 2>Let's take another phone call Daniel, who is still in

649
00:32:30.559 --> 00:32:33.079
<v Speaker 2>the Dodger parking lot. I don't think so anymore.

650
00:32:33.119 --> 00:32:37.359
<v Speaker 7>How you doing, Daniel, I'm doing good, Dave. I just left.

651
00:32:37.960 --> 00:32:40.880
<v Speaker 7>But hey, this parking this year is kind of crazy.

652
00:32:40.960 --> 00:32:44.480
<v Speaker 3>H I don't know.

653
00:32:44.640 --> 00:32:46.960
<v Speaker 2>I mean there's a lot of people coming to games

654
00:32:46.960 --> 00:32:50.000
<v Speaker 2>staying the whole game, you know, what's the difference, Daniel.

655
00:32:50.119 --> 00:32:52.519
<v Speaker 2>You know, when we came to Dodger games, even like

656
00:32:53.279 --> 00:32:57.200
<v Speaker 2>ten years ago, they weren't everybody wasn't staying for all

657
00:32:57.279 --> 00:33:01.359
<v Speaker 2>nine innings. Now everybody is staying for all nine innings

658
00:33:01.400 --> 00:33:04.039
<v Speaker 2>because not only can you watch the game, there's a

659
00:33:04.079 --> 00:33:07.000
<v Speaker 2>lot of other things to do at Dodger Stadium as well,

660
00:33:07.359 --> 00:33:08.839
<v Speaker 2>so everybody stays.

661
00:33:09.799 --> 00:33:12.519
<v Speaker 7>Hey, Dave, I was watching the game with my brother.

662
00:33:12.599 --> 00:33:15.279
<v Speaker 7>It's his first time watching the game and filling out

663
00:33:15.279 --> 00:33:18.519
<v Speaker 7>his scorecard. Who's looking at all the caves and the

664
00:33:18.559 --> 00:33:23.279
<v Speaker 7>backwards case. But we also noticed how Yamamoto flat footed

665
00:33:23.359 --> 00:33:26.359
<v Speaker 7>during warm up is just like launching the ball across

666
00:33:26.599 --> 00:33:29.880
<v Speaker 7>the field. I don't know if I've ever seen any

667
00:33:29.880 --> 00:33:33.000
<v Speaker 7>other player do that, just flat footed. That's insane.

668
00:33:33.920 --> 00:33:35.359
<v Speaker 3>They used to do it all the time.

669
00:33:35.519 --> 00:33:38.680
<v Speaker 2>Long tossing was a big part of a lot of

670
00:33:38.720 --> 00:33:43.759
<v Speaker 2>great pittures routine, and that's a good way to do it.

671
00:33:43.799 --> 00:33:47.440
<v Speaker 2>I mean, Sandy Kofax always used to talk about as

672
00:33:47.480 --> 00:33:51.000
<v Speaker 2>a pitcher, you want to throw more and throw further

673
00:33:51.160 --> 00:33:55.559
<v Speaker 2>distances and long toss because he used the analogy as

674
00:33:55.599 --> 00:33:58.759
<v Speaker 2>a marathon runner, you're not training for that marathon by

675
00:33:58.839 --> 00:34:03.400
<v Speaker 2>running sprints. Your training by running marathons, and that would,

676
00:34:03.480 --> 00:34:06.079
<v Speaker 2>you know, make a lot of sense. And Japanese pitchers

677
00:34:06.119 --> 00:34:09.039
<v Speaker 2>throw a lot more over there than they do now

678
00:34:09.119 --> 00:34:10.360
<v Speaker 2>in Major League baseball.

679
00:34:11.920 --> 00:34:13.960
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, because I think Kershaw do it. But the way

680
00:34:14.079 --> 00:34:16.920
<v Speaker 7>just Yamamoto, the way like he's just launching it like

681
00:34:17.079 --> 00:34:20.800
<v Speaker 7>a straight line is insane.

682
00:34:21.079 --> 00:34:21.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

683
00:34:21.480 --> 00:34:24.199
<v Speaker 2>Maybe those arrows that he uses. You should see that

684
00:34:24.360 --> 00:34:29.000
<v Speaker 2>during his off day routine. That's pretty impressive as well too.

685
00:34:29.440 --> 00:34:32.320
<v Speaker 2>Thanks for the phone call, Daniel, appreciate it. That'll do

686
00:34:32.360 --> 00:34:35.760
<v Speaker 2>it for us tonight on Dodger Talk. If you did

687
00:34:35.760 --> 00:34:38.519
<v Speaker 2>not get in tonight, call back tomorrow. We'll be here

688
00:34:38.639 --> 00:34:42.079
<v Speaker 2>for another hour after the game hour plus here.

689
00:34:41.920 --> 00:34:43.000
<v Speaker 3>At Dodger Stadium.

690
00:34:43.039 --> 00:34:47.280
<v Speaker 2>After tomorrow night's game, it will be Roki Sazaki's fourth

691
00:34:47.440 --> 00:34:50.880
<v Speaker 2>start of his major league career. Last start, he went

692
00:34:51.000 --> 00:34:54.320
<v Speaker 2>four plus innings, allowed just three hits and only two walks.

693
00:34:54.559 --> 00:34:57.719
<v Speaker 2>He's going up against Ben Brown. Yes, still that Ben

694
00:34:57.800 --> 00:35:00.679
<v Speaker 2>Brown of the Cubs. One in one with an ERA

695
00:35:00.840 --> 00:35:04.639
<v Speaker 2>of seven seventy one. You would say this matchup would

696
00:35:04.639 --> 00:35:08.719
<v Speaker 2>favor the Dodgers. Morongo Casino Dodgers on deck begins at

697
00:35:08.760 --> 00:35:12.000
<v Speaker 2>five o'clock, first pitch at six' ten and how about

698
00:35:12.039 --> 00:35:14.360
<v Speaker 2>can we get a shot Of Justin turner one of

699
00:35:14.400 --> 00:35:17.000
<v Speaker 2>these next two. NIGHTS i mean him coming off the

700
00:35:17.039 --> 00:35:20.760
<v Speaker 2>bench as a pinch. Hitter it's not a, guarantee not a.

701
00:35:20.800 --> 00:35:24.000
<v Speaker 2>Guarantee so we'd love to give the fans what they,

702
00:35:24.039 --> 00:35:26.119
<v Speaker 2>want and that's to Celebrate Justin turner.

703
