And now your 18 00:00:42.479 --> 00:00:45.359 host of Dodger Talk, Tim Kakes. 19 00:00:45.960 --> 00:00:50.600 What an offensive explosion for the Dodgers as they beat 20 00:00:50.640 --> 00:00:53.719 the Washington Nationals thirteen to seven. 21 00:00:54.320 --> 00:00:57.920 Max mondsee have yourself a day, a grand. 22 00:00:57.600 --> 00:01:01.119 Slam, a three run home run, and for this second 23 00:01:01.320 --> 00:01:05.120 time in less than a month, he drives in seven 24 00:01:05.200 --> 00:01:09.799 runs in a game as the Dodgers just keep on winning. Hi, everybody, 25 00:01:09.799 --> 00:01:12.760 and welcome into Dodger Talk here on this Sunday afternoon. 26 00:01:12.760 --> 00:01:15.079 Tim case with you here until the bottom of the 27 00:01:15.120 --> 00:01:17.680 hour eight six six nine, eight seven two five seventy. 28 00:01:17.719 --> 00:01:20.200 Let's line up those lines, Dodger fans eight six six 29 00:01:20.319 --> 00:01:22.879 nine eight seven two five seventy, if you were out 30 00:01:22.920 --> 00:01:25.640 at Dodgers Stadium, if you listen to the game, maybe 31 00:01:25.719 --> 00:01:28.439 just enjoyed it sitting back by the pool, by the water, 32 00:01:28.599 --> 00:01:31.280 driving around, whatever you were doing on this Sunday. Let's 33 00:01:31.280 --> 00:01:33.560 talk about it at eight sixty six nine eighty seven 34 00:01:33.599 --> 00:01:34.599 two five seventy. 35 00:01:34.680 --> 00:01:37.760 Is the Dodgers have a great home stand. 36 00:01:38.159 --> 00:01:41.480 It doesn't get much better than going seven and three 37 00:01:41.959 --> 00:01:46.959 on a ten game homestand including series wins against the 38 00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:52.239 Giants and the Padres, two teams in your rearview mirror 39 00:01:52.239 --> 00:01:55.200 here in the National League West standings, and then taking 40 00:01:55.239 --> 00:01:58.239 care of business against the Washington Nationals today. 41 00:01:58.480 --> 00:02:00.439 It was sort of a slope. 42 00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:03.519 Build for the Dodgers offensively, as the Dodgers could not 43 00:02:03.680 --> 00:02:07.040 figure out Mike Soroka the first five innings, just one 44 00:02:07.079 --> 00:02:10.360 base runner getting on base, and finally the six Dalton 45 00:02:10.439 --> 00:02:13.719 Rushings ground rule double to lead off the six kind 46 00:02:13.719 --> 00:02:15.759 of took the top off the lid, so to speak, 47 00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:19.039 and the offense got going after that. Max Munsey's Grand 48 00:02:19.080 --> 00:02:22.960 Slam off left handed reliever Jose Ferre really got the 49 00:02:23.039 --> 00:02:25.639 Dodgers going. They explode for seven more and the seven 50 00:02:25.680 --> 00:02:27.520 to two more in the eighth and go on to 51 00:02:27.599 --> 00:02:33.080 win thirteen to seven. Show Hey Otani, Max Munsey, the 52 00:02:33.159 --> 00:02:37.159 two of them had offensive explosions today. As Max Munsey 53 00:02:37.360 --> 00:02:41.199 drives in seven, shoe Aotani drives in five. They account 54 00:02:41.199 --> 00:02:44.759 for twelve of the thirteen Dodger runs that were driven 55 00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:48.840 in today. And shoey Otani also got his second start 56 00:02:49.120 --> 00:02:50.280 in a Dodger uniform. 57 00:02:50.439 --> 00:02:52.879 And if you listen to the game, you'll watch the game. 58 00:02:53.039 --> 00:02:54.000 You were at the game. 59 00:02:54.520 --> 00:02:57.680 I'm curious your thoughts on shoey Otani in his second 60 00:02:57.680 --> 00:03:03.039 start eight six six, nine eighty seven two. Certainly in 61 00:03:03.080 --> 00:03:08.439 my mind, a different maybe approach, different mindset for show 62 00:03:08.479 --> 00:03:12.240 Heyo Tani. Monday night was the first time back. Monday 63 00:03:12.319 --> 00:03:17.240 Night was him amped up, adrenaline, sold out Dodger Stadium, 64 00:03:17.560 --> 00:03:20.800 all the attention for twenty four hours leading into that start, 65 00:03:20.960 --> 00:03:24.280 the padres on top of it, the rivalry there of course, 66 00:03:24.759 --> 00:03:27.000 and Show Hey just getting back on the mound for 67 00:03:27.039 --> 00:03:29.680 the first time since the end of the twenty twenty 68 00:03:29.680 --> 00:03:32.439 three season. There's a lot going into his mind. There's 69 00:03:32.439 --> 00:03:35.080 a lot of adrenaline going through those veins. That's why 70 00:03:35.120 --> 00:03:38.120 we saw him hit ninety eight ninety nine one hundred 71 00:03:38.199 --> 00:03:41.120 miles an hour with his fastball on Monday night. 72 00:03:41.159 --> 00:03:42.000 In a little bit of. 73 00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:44.680 A control issue in those twenty some odd pitches that 74 00:03:44.759 --> 00:03:50.520 he threw today Sunday afternoon game the Washington Nationals, you 75 00:03:50.599 --> 00:03:54.000 don't necessarily have the height that you did in the 76 00:03:54.080 --> 00:03:57.479 Monday night start against the San Diego Padres. A chance 77 00:03:57.479 --> 00:04:00.280 for him to settle in, I felt a chance for 78 00:04:00.360 --> 00:04:04.120 him to, Yeah, still be a little anxious coming back again. 79 00:04:04.159 --> 00:04:08.039 He's coming back from his second arm injury, extensive time 80 00:04:08.120 --> 00:04:12.520 he missed coming back from this elbow surgery again and 81 00:04:12.599 --> 00:04:17.639 start number two an inning pitched eighteen pitches total, twelve strikes. 82 00:04:18.040 --> 00:04:20.680 The only pitch he didn't have command of was the 83 00:04:20.720 --> 00:04:24.199 split finger. He bounced one of them for a wild pitch. 84 00:04:25.079 --> 00:04:27.360 He probably should have gotten out of that first inning 85 00:04:27.480 --> 00:04:32.319 with way less than eighteen pitches. His first at bat 86 00:04:32.519 --> 00:04:36.000 that he faced, the first batter cj Abrams grounded out 87 00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:40.639 in the first pitch, a forcing fastball, one pitch, one out. 88 00:04:41.759 --> 00:04:44.560 Then James Wood comes up and on the fifth pitch 89 00:04:44.600 --> 00:04:48.800 from James Wood. O'tani gets him on a sweeper to 90 00:04:48.920 --> 00:04:50.839 hit a pop up in the middle of the infield, 91 00:04:51.439 --> 00:04:54.120 and that ball has to be caught. It's an air 92 00:04:55.480 --> 00:04:58.319 on Mookie Betts for dropping a pop up in the 93 00:04:58.319 --> 00:04:59.279 middle of the infield. 94 00:04:59.519 --> 00:05:00.000 I get it. 95 00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:02.600 The sun's out at the bright day. Rick Monday talks 96 00:05:02.600 --> 00:05:04.519 about it all the time, how hard it is with 97 00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:06.920 the blue sky to see the baseball. 98 00:05:07.120 --> 00:05:09.600 It is tough. It's not easy to just look it up. 99 00:05:09.639 --> 00:05:11.600 The ball comes and falls in your mid If we're 100 00:05:11.600 --> 00:05:15.040 that easy, everybody can do it. But Mookie drops the ball. 101 00:05:15.879 --> 00:05:18.600 Garcia Junior comes up, strikes out, but it takes five 102 00:05:18.639 --> 00:05:21.240 more pitches to do that. Then he strikes out Nathaniel 103 00:05:21.279 --> 00:05:25.519 Low on seven pitches at twelve additional pitches. It took 104 00:05:25.600 --> 00:05:27.720 after what should have been the second out of that 105 00:05:27.800 --> 00:05:30.079 first inning. Would we have seen him for a second 106 00:05:30.120 --> 00:05:31.959 inning if the pitch count was even lower than the 107 00:05:32.240 --> 00:05:34.079 eighteen pitches he threw in the first inning. 108 00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:35.040 I don't know. 109 00:05:35.639 --> 00:05:38.600 Didn't really get an answer out of that postgame from 110 00:05:38.639 --> 00:05:41.879 either Dave Roberts or show Heyo Tani, so we don't 111 00:05:41.879 --> 00:05:43.319 know if he was just going to go the one inning. 112 00:05:43.399 --> 00:05:45.759 No matter if it was a seven pitch inning or 113 00:05:45.839 --> 00:05:47.959 twenty seven pitch inning, or it turned out to be 114 00:05:48.000 --> 00:05:48.959 an eighteen. 115 00:05:48.600 --> 00:05:50.439 Pitch inning for show Heyo Tani. 116 00:05:50.600 --> 00:05:53.680 It got extended because of the dropped pop fly in 117 00:05:53.720 --> 00:05:55.959 the middle of the infil for Mookie Betts. But I 118 00:05:56.040 --> 00:05:59.759 loved how he buckled down there and got Garcia on 119 00:05:59.800 --> 00:06:02.120 fire pitchers with the sweeper to strike out, got him 120 00:06:02.120 --> 00:06:04.800 to chase, and then with Nathaniel Low up there, got 121 00:06:04.879 --> 00:06:07.160 him on a cutter to swing and miss on a 122 00:06:07.199 --> 00:06:10.079 ball low in the strike zone. He didn't have the 123 00:06:10.160 --> 00:06:13.319 command for the split finger, which is fine. That's a 124 00:06:13.360 --> 00:06:15.920 feel pitch. And how many times have we seen Yamamoto 125 00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:18.079 not have that or Sosaki not have that pitch. 126 00:06:18.279 --> 00:06:18.879 If you got the. 127 00:06:18.879 --> 00:06:22.240 Splitter going, look out, you're gonna have one of those 128 00:06:22.319 --> 00:06:25.439 games as the starting pitcher. If you don't have the command, okay, 129 00:06:25.480 --> 00:06:27.439 it's all right. You got more pitches in your arsenal. 130 00:06:27.639 --> 00:06:29.759 If you just don't have it, you're just not gonna 131 00:06:29.759 --> 00:06:31.800 go back to it. And I'm pretty sure I'm looking 132 00:06:31.800 --> 00:06:34.160 at the pitch count here at the eighteen pitches, we 133 00:06:34.199 --> 00:06:36.360 only saw the split finger. 134 00:06:36.800 --> 00:06:38.639 One is that it? 135 00:06:38.680 --> 00:06:41.920 Oh twice we saw two split fingers, had those eighteen pitches, 136 00:06:42.160 --> 00:06:44.480 went back to the fastball, the sweeper, and the cutter, 137 00:06:44.879 --> 00:06:46.920 and he was dialed in on those three other pitches. 138 00:06:47.480 --> 00:06:48.319 Ninety eight mile an. 139 00:06:48.240 --> 00:06:51.079 Hour fastball, he got would to pop up on the sweeper, 140 00:06:51.120 --> 00:06:53.160 got Garcia Junior to strikeout on the sweeper. 141 00:06:54.120 --> 00:06:55.519 I thought he pitched really well. 142 00:06:55.959 --> 00:07:01.040 Different scenarios probably today, more of a reg season feel 143 00:07:01.720 --> 00:07:05.240 for show Hey Otani. Monday night, you had the Padres 144 00:07:05.279 --> 00:07:07.319 the start of that series. The first time seeing the 145 00:07:07.319 --> 00:07:09.920 Padres in twenty twenty five, you had to return to 146 00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:13.279 show Hey, first time pitching at Dodger uniform, sold out crowd, 147 00:07:13.399 --> 00:07:16.240 twenty four hour. Notice a lot of pomp and circumstance, 148 00:07:17.199 --> 00:07:19.240 the quietness of his top of the first inning when 149 00:07:19.240 --> 00:07:22.360 he's pitching out there. Didn't have his command necessarily in 150 00:07:22.399 --> 00:07:25.560 that first start on Monday Night. Completely different, as I 151 00:07:25.600 --> 00:07:30.160 said here on Sunday. Not a sellout crowd Sunday afternoon game. 152 00:07:30.199 --> 00:07:33.959 It's the Washington Nationals. More of that regular season feel, 153 00:07:33.959 --> 00:07:36.680 which is great to get back into the routine of things. 154 00:07:36.959 --> 00:07:38.439 But we saw him just for the one inning and 155 00:07:38.480 --> 00:07:40.600 if you hear him in the postgame show and then 156 00:07:40.639 --> 00:07:43.399 Dave Roberts alluded to as well, this is a slow 157 00:07:43.439 --> 00:07:46.600 build for show, hey Otani, and I'm okay with that, 158 00:07:47.040 --> 00:07:48.879 colin Ee and I Happy birthday to colin Ee. By 159 00:07:48.879 --> 00:07:50.879 the way, we were looking at the schedule on the 160 00:07:50.879 --> 00:07:52.959 wall here in the studio and kind of looking. 161 00:07:53.040 --> 00:07:55.040 At the plan. All right, how many. 162 00:07:55.120 --> 00:07:57.879 More weeks until the All Star break? You know, if 163 00:07:57.879 --> 00:08:00.680 he's pitching once a week show Aotani? Is that two 164 00:08:00.759 --> 00:08:01.399 more starts? 165 00:08:01.879 --> 00:08:04.920 Okay? Post All Star break? What is it about? 166 00:08:05.079 --> 00:08:07.839 Ten weeks roughly? You know, two and a half months 167 00:08:08.000 --> 00:08:12.600 right September August, that's eight weeks roughly. Let's call it 168 00:08:12.600 --> 00:08:15.000 two weeks here the back in the July. That's ten 169 00:08:15.040 --> 00:08:17.399 more starts. But he's making one start a week. He's 170 00:08:17.399 --> 00:08:20.639 got twelve weeks in essence left in the season, Okay, 171 00:08:20.720 --> 00:08:23.399 so let's call it twelve starts left. You have to 172 00:08:23.399 --> 00:08:25.600 break down then those twelve starts the rest of the way, 173 00:08:25.959 --> 00:08:27.720 with a week of All Star break in between. 174 00:08:28.079 --> 00:08:30.959 So two starts? Is he going one inning next time? 175 00:08:31.079 --> 00:08:33.159 Then two innings and then the All Star break and 176 00:08:33.200 --> 00:08:35.360 then two innings of post All Star break and a 177 00:08:35.480 --> 00:08:38.600 slow build. I don't know the exact plan. I think 178 00:08:38.679 --> 00:08:41.320 only show Hey Otani in the inner circle know that plan, 179 00:08:41.799 --> 00:08:44.080 but I'm all for it. I'm all for the. 180 00:08:44.039 --> 00:08:44.919 Fact that he is. 181 00:08:46.360 --> 00:08:50.679 Looking at September and October is when he wants to 182 00:08:50.799 --> 00:08:55.840 be peaking at his top performance as a pitcher. And 183 00:08:55.879 --> 00:08:58.120 I also think he realizes he's got to get back 184 00:08:58.159 --> 00:09:01.879 into being a two way play shape. 185 00:09:01.960 --> 00:09:04.639 Pitching and hitting takes a taxing on you. 186 00:09:04.639 --> 00:09:06.399 You don't get a day off, I mean, the only 187 00:09:06.480 --> 00:09:09.720 days off, showy Otani's gonna get our scheduled days off 188 00:09:10.320 --> 00:09:13.159 when the Dodgers aren't playing games and traveling, So that's 189 00:09:13.200 --> 00:09:17.679 something also to keep a mind for show Ayotani. Overall, 190 00:09:17.720 --> 00:09:19.840 though today I thought it was a good one inning 191 00:09:20.039 --> 00:09:23.639 more down to earth regular season outing for show Hey. 192 00:09:24.080 --> 00:09:27.399 Didn't have all the pomp and circumstance of the padres 193 00:09:27.480 --> 00:09:29.960 in Town, which felt like a playoff atmosphere, and there's 194 00:09:30.000 --> 00:09:32.320 nothing wrong with that, and that was cool for show 195 00:09:32.320 --> 00:09:34.240 Hey to be a part of because he be honest, 196 00:09:34.240 --> 00:09:37.080 he didn't really pitching a lot of meaningful games in 197 00:09:37.159 --> 00:09:40.399 October games what he is with Anaheim, so kind of 198 00:09:40.399 --> 00:09:43.440 cool to see that on Monday. But today back into 199 00:09:43.919 --> 00:09:47.360 regular season mode, pitching against the Washington Nationals, and I 200 00:09:47.360 --> 00:09:49.320 thought he did really well. And to see him turn 201 00:09:49.440 --> 00:09:52.879 into that designated hitter and hit a basis clearing triple 202 00:09:52.879 --> 00:09:55.039 in the seventh and then muscle out a two run 203 00:09:55.120 --> 00:09:58.360 home run thanks to fan reaching over and dropping the ball. 204 00:09:58.480 --> 00:10:02.080 By the way. Fan, if you're a list if you're listening, 205 00:10:02.320 --> 00:10:05.159 got to catch that ball. Got to catch that ball. 206 00:10:05.200 --> 00:10:05.840 It's right there. 207 00:10:06.639 --> 00:10:08.759 I mean it was a little kid. I thought it 208 00:10:08.799 --> 00:10:11.000 was an adult that got it. A little kid. Okay, 209 00:10:11.200 --> 00:10:13.159 all right, I'll okay. It was a little kid that 210 00:10:13.320 --> 00:10:15.519 was crying on TV calling yasies have a birthday. Call him, 211 00:10:16.559 --> 00:10:18.200 all right, I give him the benefit of the doubt. 212 00:10:18.320 --> 00:10:21.919 The small child drop the ball, Okay, all right, I'm 213 00:10:21.960 --> 00:10:23.320 not gonna be too mad about that. I thought it 214 00:10:23.320 --> 00:10:25.879 was the grown up that missed the fly ball. Nonetheless, 215 00:10:25.879 --> 00:10:28.600 it's a home run for shoe a Otani, his twenty 216 00:10:28.720 --> 00:10:31.559 sixth of the season. He now leads the National League 217 00:10:31.600 --> 00:10:34.519 in the home runs. A great home stand. I can't 218 00:10:34.559 --> 00:10:37.840 say it enough Dodger fans. This stretch that they went 219 00:10:37.879 --> 00:10:40.879 on against all those teams above five hundred, what we 220 00:10:40.919 --> 00:10:44.120 talked about, and then this home stand that featured the 221 00:10:44.240 --> 00:10:47.120 Giants for the first time the Padres for the first time, 222 00:10:47.480 --> 00:10:49.360 and then having to turn around get up after the 223 00:10:49.399 --> 00:10:53.120 emotions of those two series against the Washington Nationals to 224 00:10:53.240 --> 00:10:57.720 win all three series and come close to sweeping two 225 00:10:57.759 --> 00:10:59.639 of those three series. They got beat up by the 226 00:10:59.879 --> 00:11:02.600 the Nationals last night, but had a chance to sweep 227 00:11:02.600 --> 00:11:05.240 the Padres, and I had a chance to sweep the Giants. 228 00:11:06.200 --> 00:11:08.480 This is a really good home stand which you picked 229 00:11:08.559 --> 00:11:10.879 up some ground in the Division two. You picked up 230 00:11:10.919 --> 00:11:13.759 a couple of games on the Giants and Padres in 231 00:11:13.840 --> 00:11:17.080 the NL West, and now you go to Colorado and 232 00:11:17.320 --> 00:11:19.879 you go to Kansas City. And for this Colorado series, 233 00:11:20.320 --> 00:11:23.679 who I'm not gonna say it's a big series, but 234 00:11:23.720 --> 00:11:27.159 I think it's an important series for this Dodgers team 235 00:11:27.759 --> 00:11:31.679 to keep the momentum, to keep the edge, so to speak, 236 00:11:32.080 --> 00:11:36.600 out there as they're playing against a really bad Rockies team, 237 00:11:36.960 --> 00:11:39.200 one of the worst teams, if not the worst, yes, 238 00:11:39.279 --> 00:11:42.799 record wise, the worst in all of baseball, the Chicago 239 00:11:42.840 --> 00:11:46.080 White Sox sniffing around again as the worst team in 240 00:11:46.120 --> 00:11:49.519 the American League. The Rockies the worst team overall in baseball, 241 00:11:49.919 --> 00:11:52.320 but playing better as of late. The last thing you 242 00:11:52.399 --> 00:11:56.080 want to do is go into Colorado and have a letdown. Sure, 243 00:11:56.080 --> 00:11:58.720 it's a three game series, it's the end of June. 244 00:11:59.120 --> 00:12:01.720 But you can't have the let down series. You just can't. 245 00:12:01.759 --> 00:12:04.120 You got to go in and win every series. The 246 00:12:04.159 --> 00:12:06.679 Dodgers now have won what four straight series? I believe 247 00:12:07.039 --> 00:12:10.399 they're taking care of business as they should be. Eight 248 00:12:10.440 --> 00:12:12.720 sixty six nine eight seven two five seventy. All right, 249 00:12:13.440 --> 00:12:15.720 let's get out to the phones. Let's go to Robin 250 00:12:15.759 --> 00:12:18.360 Santa Karina. Start things off here on postgame Dodge Talk. 251 00:12:18.399 --> 00:12:21.360 Dodgers beat up on the Nationals thirteen to seven to day. 252 00:12:21.360 --> 00:12:23.240 How you doing, Rob? You doing? 253 00:12:24.679 --> 00:12:24.879 You know? 254 00:12:25.000 --> 00:12:27.720 I Uh, it's a great game today, you know, good 255 00:12:27.720 --> 00:12:33.279 step for show. Hey uh, Dodger offense showed up this 256 00:12:33.320 --> 00:12:35.960 whole KEYK pitching thing. You know, he's cute and fun 257 00:12:36.039 --> 00:12:39.159 the first couple of times we saw it, uh last season, 258 00:12:39.720 --> 00:12:41.320 and you know, Key K would sell beers for this 259 00:12:41.360 --> 00:12:43.440 team if they asked him to. But at this point 260 00:12:43.480 --> 00:12:46.600 it's got to be embarrassing for him. You know, don't 261 00:12:46.639 --> 00:12:48.159 we have a back end of a bullpen that might 262 00:12:48.200 --> 00:12:49.919 need a little bit of work. We have an off 263 00:12:49.960 --> 00:12:53.120 day tomorrow. There was no reason for that today. You know, 264 00:12:53.159 --> 00:12:54.919 I actually ran into Rick Monday on the way out 265 00:12:54.919 --> 00:12:56.879 of the club level walking into the parking lot. 266 00:12:57.080 --> 00:12:59.320 Conversation he brought up. 267 00:12:59.399 --> 00:13:02.159 He said, you know what, I'm tired of this TK thing. 268 00:13:02.200 --> 00:13:02.960 We need to dump it. 269 00:13:03.000 --> 00:13:04.399 And I said, go free with it. 270 00:13:04.840 --> 00:13:08.840 So you know, and Rick probably mentioned that on his telecast. 271 00:13:09.799 --> 00:13:11.559 But look, if Rick says it's time to dump it, 272 00:13:11.600 --> 00:13:14.000 I'm with Rick, let's dump it. I'd be interested to 273 00:13:14.039 --> 00:13:14.840 hear your thoughts on that. 274 00:13:15.080 --> 00:13:15.799 I appreciate it. 275 00:13:15.879 --> 00:13:18.799 Colinie and I have a birthday colony Colinie, and we're 276 00:13:18.799 --> 00:13:22.080 talking I we're talking about this as it happened, and 277 00:13:23.200 --> 00:13:24.679 I think we have the same sentiment. 278 00:13:25.080 --> 00:13:27.120 I get it. It's a blowout game on a. 279 00:13:27.120 --> 00:13:30.960 Sunday afternoon, it's thirteen to three, and the Novelty I 280 00:13:31.039 --> 00:13:35.120 believe has war off. It's fun to see a position 281 00:13:35.200 --> 00:13:35.840 player pitch. 282 00:13:35.960 --> 00:13:36.320 It is. 283 00:13:37.000 --> 00:13:40.679 It's fun when you're winning and blowing out a team 284 00:13:40.720 --> 00:13:43.960 to see a position player pitch, and guys go up 285 00:13:43.960 --> 00:13:46.960 there and take their hacks and maybe pop out, or 286 00:13:47.159 --> 00:13:49.399 you have some fun because you strike out a player 287 00:13:49.799 --> 00:13:53.279 on a thirty five mile an hour knuckleball or whatever. 288 00:13:53.639 --> 00:13:54.759 Okay, that's fun. 289 00:13:55.759 --> 00:13:59.519 We've seen it now five times this season with Key 290 00:13:59.600 --> 00:14:04.080 k Herz, the novelty has kind of worn off, and 291 00:14:04.200 --> 00:14:06.720 quite frankly, I would have liked to have seen this 292 00:14:06.840 --> 00:14:10.840 game just been finished off by whether it's Lee Trevino 293 00:14:11.440 --> 00:14:14.879 or anybody else in the Dodgers' bullpen. Okay, Trevino through 294 00:14:14.919 --> 00:14:17.679 eighteen pitches, you don't want him to throw an extra 295 00:14:18.159 --> 00:14:21.600 ten to twenty maybe in the ninth inning, so he's 296 00:14:21.639 --> 00:14:23.799 not available for Colorado. 297 00:14:23.960 --> 00:14:24.440 I get it. 298 00:14:24.559 --> 00:14:27.440 You're looking at Colorado in mind thinking I gotta have 299 00:14:27.559 --> 00:14:30.399 my bullpen fresh, I gotta have my bullpen ready to 300 00:14:30.440 --> 00:14:31.320 go for three games. 301 00:14:31.720 --> 00:14:34.600 That's where bullpens go to die is Coors Field. It 302 00:14:34.759 --> 00:14:35.360 just happens. 303 00:14:35.679 --> 00:14:38.759 And then post Colorado, you gotta go to Kansas City, 304 00:14:38.759 --> 00:14:41.120 and there's the whole letdown of leaving the Mile High 305 00:14:41.200 --> 00:14:43.879 City and going to the next city. That's real, folks, 306 00:14:43.919 --> 00:14:46.759 that happens anytime a team goes to Colorado. 307 00:14:47.279 --> 00:14:48.720 You keep that in mind. I get it. 308 00:14:49.320 --> 00:14:54.200 But ninth inning, thirteen to three game, it's just let's 309 00:14:54.320 --> 00:14:56.519 let's get out of Dodge, let's just go home. Let's 310 00:14:56.559 --> 00:14:59.279 get this thing over with. Keep Trevino out there. If 311 00:14:59.320 --> 00:15:02.919 you're gonna go to Vesia to get some work in great, 312 00:15:03.279 --> 00:15:07.120 Let's get three outs, let's go home, let's go to Disneyland. 313 00:15:07.120 --> 00:15:09.600 If you're calling you for your birthday, and let's call 314 00:15:09.639 --> 00:15:10.080 it a day. 315 00:15:10.720 --> 00:15:15.360 But instead it's a long ninth inning that takes another 316 00:15:15.440 --> 00:15:19.159 twenty minutes and we're watching Key k Hernandez out there, 317 00:15:19.720 --> 00:15:23.159 not get calls for strikes, not get the national players 318 00:15:23.200 --> 00:15:25.200 to chase. I mean, it's one thing that the national 319 00:15:25.200 --> 00:15:28.399 players are chasing and are also trying to get out 320 00:15:28.399 --> 00:15:31.919 of there really fast. But it was a bad combination. 321 00:15:32.440 --> 00:15:35.919 Key k couldn't throw strikes. They weren't chasing. So you 322 00:15:36.039 --> 00:15:39.559 have a walk, a double, a walk, a single, a sackfly, 323 00:15:39.720 --> 00:15:40.240 a walk. 324 00:15:41.519 --> 00:15:44.399 It just wasn't working today, folks. It wasn't. 325 00:15:44.799 --> 00:15:47.159 It wasn't what it was supposed to be fun in games, 326 00:15:47.440 --> 00:15:50.759 and then ninth inning it was anything but that. For 327 00:15:51.080 --> 00:15:53.320 Key k Hernandez, you can see it on his face 328 00:15:53.679 --> 00:15:56.399 before Alex Vesi had to come in and get the 329 00:15:56.440 --> 00:15:59.399 final two outs of the game, which included a RBI 330 00:15:59.559 --> 00:16:02.399 single four runs given up by keyk a Hernandez. Officially, 331 00:16:03.159 --> 00:16:05.159 I get it. There's a time and place for it. 332 00:16:05.240 --> 00:16:07.919 You don't want to wear out your bullpen. I understand 333 00:16:07.960 --> 00:16:12.279 all that I do. But thirteen to three, your team 334 00:16:12.440 --> 00:16:15.960 erupted for offense late in the game. Let's get three 335 00:16:15.960 --> 00:16:18.200 outs and go home. Eight six six, nine eighty seven 336 00:16:18.240 --> 00:16:20.600 two five seventy Will in Long Beaches next up here 337 00:16:20.759 --> 00:16:22.679 on Dodger Talk, will welcome. 338 00:16:22.679 --> 00:16:23.759 How you doing this afternoon? 339 00:16:24.799 --> 00:16:26.559 Hey, I'm doing really good. Hey, you know what? 340 00:16:26.600 --> 00:16:28.000 I really want to talk about much. 341 00:16:28.080 --> 00:16:29.639 But now that you brought that up, you know, during 342 00:16:29.679 --> 00:16:32.600 the TV the guy said that it would be better 343 00:16:32.639 --> 00:16:34.840 off to just you know, call the game and just leave, 344 00:16:35.519 --> 00:16:38.320 because it seems like they give the team a chance 345 00:16:38.360 --> 00:16:39.639 to get back into the game. 346 00:16:40.120 --> 00:16:41.639 It happened against the Giants. 347 00:16:41.799 --> 00:16:42.399 I don't like you. 348 00:16:42.919 --> 00:16:44.639 Yeah, it's worn off. It's fun. 349 00:16:44.639 --> 00:16:47.320 At first, it was cool to see, Oh, a position 350 00:16:47.440 --> 00:16:48.279 player pitching. 351 00:16:48.600 --> 00:16:50.919 Will oh, this is kind of fun. Yeah. 352 00:16:51.120 --> 00:16:52.759 To me, it's kind of worn off.
