5
00:00:15.839 --> 00:00:19.839
<v Speaker 2>We are live at Dodger Stadium after the Dodgers commit

6
00:00:20.039 --> 00:00:23.559
<v Speaker 2>three errors in the eighth inning to open the door

7
00:00:23.719 --> 00:00:26.800
<v Speaker 2>for a five run inning for the Cubs to come

8
00:00:26.879 --> 00:00:31.760
<v Speaker 2>back and beat La tonight six to three. We are

9
00:00:31.800 --> 00:00:34.320
<v Speaker 2>with you until the top of the hour, maybe a

10
00:00:34.399 --> 00:00:37.799
<v Speaker 2>little bit after here on Dodger Talk. Phone lines are

11
00:00:37.840 --> 00:00:41.399
<v Speaker 2>open at eight sixty six, nine eighty seven, two five seventy.

12
00:00:41.719 --> 00:00:45.679
<v Speaker 2>We'll head downstairs to hear from Max Monsey and Austin Barnes.

13
00:00:45.960 --> 00:00:48.240
<v Speaker 2>We do have a pair of tickets to give away

14
00:00:48.399 --> 00:00:51.679
<v Speaker 2>to tomorrow night's Max Monthy bobble Head Night here at

15
00:00:51.679 --> 00:00:55.880
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers Stadium. We'll check in with Jose Mota. Also, we

16
00:00:56.039 --> 00:01:01.039
<v Speaker 2>had a chance to watch shoh Otani's fifth bullpen session today,

17
00:01:01.320 --> 00:01:03.560
<v Speaker 2>we'll share that with you. And we also had a

18
00:01:03.679 --> 00:01:07.959
<v Speaker 2>chance to catch up with Cody Bellinger and certainly always

19
00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:11.400
<v Speaker 2>great to see Cody back at Dodgers Stadium. But tonight

20
00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:17.079
<v Speaker 2>it was about two things. Tonight yoshiyamamotos encouraging outing his

21
00:01:17.200 --> 00:01:21.840
<v Speaker 2>first start since June fifteenth, and he passed with flying colors,

22
00:01:22.200 --> 00:01:26.319
<v Speaker 2>eight strikeouts in four innings. He struck out the first

23
00:01:26.359 --> 00:01:30.040
<v Speaker 2>four batters he faced. He only gave up an urn run,

24
00:01:30.159 --> 00:01:33.040
<v Speaker 2>and there's an argument to be made that it should

25
00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:35.760
<v Speaker 2>not have been earned because there was a very generous

26
00:01:35.799 --> 00:01:38.840
<v Speaker 2>scoring on a ground ball hit to Freddy Freeman that

27
00:01:39.079 --> 00:01:41.879
<v Speaker 2>probably should have been scored in error. Instead it was

28
00:01:41.879 --> 00:01:45.040
<v Speaker 2>scored a hit. And the Dodgers fall tonight to the

29
00:01:45.040 --> 00:01:49.239
<v Speaker 2>cub six to three. And for the Dodgers, I've been

30
00:01:49.239 --> 00:01:52.200
<v Speaker 2>trying to stress the fact that I know there's a

31
00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:56.879
<v Speaker 2>lot of panic about their pitching situation for the postseason. Well,

32
00:01:56.920 --> 00:01:59.000
<v Speaker 2>they have a lot of time between now and then

33
00:01:59.079 --> 00:02:02.200
<v Speaker 2>to get it in order, and tonight was a great

34
00:02:02.400 --> 00:02:06.959
<v Speaker 2>first step in that direction by not only getting Yamamoto back,

35
00:02:07.040 --> 00:02:10.400
<v Speaker 2>but Wow, to be sitting there in three or four

36
00:02:10.520 --> 00:02:13.759
<v Speaker 2>rows back tonight in the first inning to watch Yamamoto.

37
00:02:14.199 --> 00:02:16.800
<v Speaker 2>He had a lot of life on his fastball. He

38
00:02:16.840 --> 00:02:20.400
<v Speaker 2>came out throwing ninety seven ninety eight. His split fingered

39
00:02:20.439 --> 00:02:25.680
<v Speaker 2>fastball was unbelievable tonight. The first three batters that he

40
00:02:25.800 --> 00:02:29.120
<v Speaker 2>faced tonight couldn't touch a pitch. They did not touch

41
00:02:29.159 --> 00:02:34.520
<v Speaker 2>the baseball. Hap, Swanson, Suzuki all struck out swinging in

42
00:02:34.639 --> 00:02:38.879
<v Speaker 2>that first inning and did not even come close to

43
00:02:38.879 --> 00:02:42.360
<v Speaker 2>touching the baseball, and that was the most impressive part.

44
00:02:42.680 --> 00:02:45.400
<v Speaker 2>It was great to see Yamamoto have a lot of

45
00:02:45.479 --> 00:02:48.039
<v Speaker 2>mound presence out there to start the game as well.

46
00:02:48.479 --> 00:02:51.120
<v Speaker 2>It felt like at times before he got hurt, he

47
00:02:51.280 --> 00:02:55.360
<v Speaker 2>was trying to pitch two major league hitters and maybe

48
00:02:55.400 --> 00:02:58.759
<v Speaker 2>he felt like he was not on their level. Tonight,

49
00:02:58.919 --> 00:03:01.520
<v Speaker 2>it looked like he leave Not only was he on

50
00:03:01.879 --> 00:03:05.400
<v Speaker 2>their level, but certainly they had their hands full with him.

51
00:03:05.520 --> 00:03:09.520
<v Speaker 2>So that was great to see, and unfortunately for the

52
00:03:09.560 --> 00:03:13.560
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers he was capped at sixty pitches tonight, but at

53
00:03:13.639 --> 00:03:16.759
<v Speaker 2>least he was efficient, being able to go four innings.

54
00:03:17.319 --> 00:03:22.439
<v Speaker 2>The ugly tonight, obviously, was the eighth inning three errors,

55
00:03:22.479 --> 00:03:26.319
<v Speaker 2>maybe the worst played inning by the Dodgers all season long.

56
00:03:26.759 --> 00:03:29.240
<v Speaker 2>They had a three to one lead in that eighth inning.

57
00:03:29.680 --> 00:03:33.599
<v Speaker 2>That started to unravel, in our opinion, in the bottom

58
00:03:33.599 --> 00:03:36.599
<v Speaker 2>of the seventh inning when Andy pa Haz was picked

59
00:03:36.639 --> 00:03:40.280
<v Speaker 2>off first base. That's inexcusable and that's not going to

60
00:03:40.319 --> 00:03:44.240
<v Speaker 2>earn Paz more playing time. Also in the eighth inning,

61
00:03:44.360 --> 00:03:47.199
<v Speaker 2>on the base hit by Suzuki, well, let's go back

62
00:03:47.240 --> 00:03:50.560
<v Speaker 2>a little bit further. The throwing air by Austin Barnes

63
00:03:50.680 --> 00:03:55.080
<v Speaker 2>inexcusable as well. That opened the door for that five

64
00:03:55.240 --> 00:03:59.039
<v Speaker 2>run eighth inning. It was a ball hit in front

65
00:03:59.080 --> 00:04:01.639
<v Speaker 2>of the plate by Dan's Swanson. He threw wide to

66
00:04:01.719 --> 00:04:05.199
<v Speaker 2>Freddie Freeman. He was upset at himself. He was even

67
00:04:05.240 --> 00:04:08.319
<v Speaker 2>more upset at himself after the tying runs came around

68
00:04:08.319 --> 00:04:11.319
<v Speaker 2>to score after Tommy Edmond threw a ball into the

69
00:04:11.360 --> 00:04:14.520
<v Speaker 2>camera as well. And the way Dave Roberts explained it

70
00:04:14.639 --> 00:04:17.600
<v Speaker 2>was and it kind of appeared that way that Max

71
00:04:17.680 --> 00:04:20.639
<v Speaker 2>Munsey was not in position to make a play. He

72
00:04:20.800 --> 00:04:23.839
<v Speaker 2>was on the outfield side of the third base bag.

73
00:04:24.160 --> 00:04:26.879
<v Speaker 2>He was in bad position to field that ball and

74
00:04:26.959 --> 00:04:29.959
<v Speaker 2>it got by him. And Evan Phillips was caught in

75
00:04:30.079 --> 00:04:33.600
<v Speaker 2>no man's land because he was backing up home plate

76
00:04:33.759 --> 00:04:38.680
<v Speaker 2>and he can't be everywhere. So that was an unfortunate

77
00:04:38.839 --> 00:04:42.360
<v Speaker 2>sequence of events. And then later in the inning, after

78
00:04:42.839 --> 00:04:46.920
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers intentionally walk Cody Bellinger, Michael Bush at a

79
00:04:46.920 --> 00:04:49.759
<v Speaker 2>ground ball to key Y Hernandez. He was charging in

80
00:04:49.920 --> 00:04:53.639
<v Speaker 2>and try to tag the speedy Bellinger, but he did

81
00:04:53.680 --> 00:04:56.759
<v Speaker 2>not have the ball secured before he was trying to

82
00:04:56.800 --> 00:05:00.199
<v Speaker 2>tag Bellinger. What he should have done was secure the

83
00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:03.720
<v Speaker 2>baseball and get the easy out at first inning at

84
00:05:03.759 --> 00:05:08.680
<v Speaker 2>first base. So that was unfortunate as well. But that's

85
00:05:08.720 --> 00:05:11.680
<v Speaker 2>not something we have seen all season long from the Dodgers.

86
00:05:12.120 --> 00:05:14.480
<v Speaker 2>You would not expect to see that type of inning

87
00:05:14.680 --> 00:05:17.920
<v Speaker 2>again by the Dodgers, but it happened tonight in the

88
00:05:17.959 --> 00:05:21.120
<v Speaker 2>eighth inning. Let's head downstairs right now to hear from

89
00:05:21.160 --> 00:05:26.120
<v Speaker 2>Dodger catcher Austin Barnes. His air started that five run

90
00:05:26.160 --> 00:05:26.800
<v Speaker 2>eighth inning.

91
00:05:27.319 --> 00:05:28.439
<v Speaker 3>Good, I'm a motive.

92
00:05:28.439 --> 00:05:31.680
<v Speaker 2>Look, yeah, it was really good. Stuff was good.

93
00:05:34.040 --> 00:05:37.759
<v Speaker 4>That's probably one of the best stuff I've seen from.

94
00:05:37.879 --> 00:05:39.360
<v Speaker 5>I think the reporter was this Canan tonight.

95
00:05:39.480 --> 00:05:41.800
<v Speaker 2>How surprising is that? Just concidering how much layoff he's had.

96
00:05:42.120 --> 00:05:45.240
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I mean everything looking at his fastball is curveball,

97
00:05:45.319 --> 00:05:49.800
<v Speaker 4>the split. Uh yeah, it was pretty surprising. I don't

98
00:05:49.800 --> 00:05:51.199
<v Speaker 4>know how it was gonna look at coming back from

99
00:05:51.199 --> 00:05:53.439
<v Speaker 4>this and uh day look better than ever.

100
00:05:53.759 --> 00:05:55.439
<v Speaker 6>I think, not just where you guys are at in

101
00:05:55.480 --> 00:05:57.319
<v Speaker 6>the season, just how important is it when you not

102
00:05:57.360 --> 00:05:59.360
<v Speaker 6>only get an arm back like him. I know that

103
00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:01.639
<v Speaker 6>tip class house working this way as well, but to

104
00:06:01.680 --> 00:06:04.199
<v Speaker 6>see the stuff where it's at, especially just considering where

105
00:06:04.240 --> 00:06:04.920
<v Speaker 6>we are in the season.

106
00:06:05.480 --> 00:06:08.279
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it's a big boost. Yeah, he's just he's a

107
00:06:08.279 --> 00:06:10.720
<v Speaker 4>really good pitcher, you know, giving us coming back obviously

108
00:06:10.879 --> 00:06:13.240
<v Speaker 4>wasn't going to get built up or anything. And he

109
00:06:13.279 --> 00:06:14.879
<v Speaker 4>went out there any through the ball really well, just

110
00:06:14.879 --> 00:06:17.319
<v Speaker 4>the way you can and uh, just to have him

111
00:06:17.319 --> 00:06:17.800
<v Speaker 4>out there.

112
00:06:17.680 --> 00:06:20.199
<v Speaker 2>And is anybody going to ask about the.

113
00:06:19.759 --> 00:06:21.560
<v Speaker 4>The team and looking forward to soon more.

114
00:06:21.720 --> 00:06:24.439
<v Speaker 6>Obviously, how this game ended was incredibly frustrating. You can

115
00:06:24.439 --> 00:06:27.120
<v Speaker 6>see it on everyone. Just can you describe, I guess

116
00:06:27.199 --> 00:06:29.600
<v Speaker 6>kind of from your perspective, how things just kind of

117
00:06:29.600 --> 00:06:30.120
<v Speaker 6>played out.

118
00:06:30.240 --> 00:06:30.959
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it's horrible.

119
00:06:32.839 --> 00:06:33.839
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, this one's on me.

120
00:06:33.920 --> 00:06:35.839
<v Speaker 4>I gotta make that play and then you know it

121
00:06:35.920 --> 00:06:40.600
<v Speaker 4>changes the whole inning. Yeah, you know runner our first

122
00:06:40.600 --> 00:06:43.079
<v Speaker 4>and runner a second. It's a lot different pitching. Just

123
00:06:43.120 --> 00:06:46.560
<v Speaker 4>the whole inning was get screwed up, all right.

124
00:06:46.600 --> 00:06:49.680
<v Speaker 2>There's Austin Barnes on sports ne LA. Now see that's

125
00:06:49.720 --> 00:06:55.160
<v Speaker 2>a perfect example of how any Dodger cannot complain about

126
00:06:55.199 --> 00:06:58.360
<v Speaker 2>the LA media. If this was New York, Boston or

127
00:06:58.399 --> 00:07:02.199
<v Speaker 2>even Chicago, they would have been all over Austin Barnes

128
00:07:02.240 --> 00:07:05.240
<v Speaker 2>with the questioning they would not have just talked about

129
00:07:05.399 --> 00:07:10.399
<v Speaker 2>yama Moto. Yamamoto after that eighth inning was to me

130
00:07:10.959 --> 00:07:14.319
<v Speaker 2>a secondary story at that point in time. Yes, big picture,

131
00:07:14.360 --> 00:07:17.199
<v Speaker 2>it's great that yama Moto came back and he pitched well.

132
00:07:17.279 --> 00:07:22.079
<v Speaker 2>But for anybody in a Dodger uniform to ever complain

133
00:07:22.160 --> 00:07:26.480
<v Speaker 2>about the LA media, I mean, that doesn't happen anywhere else.

134
00:07:26.879 --> 00:07:29.879
<v Speaker 2>Eight six six nine, eight seven two five seventy is

135
00:07:29.920 --> 00:07:32.800
<v Speaker 2>the phone number. I mean, come on, the eighth inning

136
00:07:32.879 --> 00:07:36.560
<v Speaker 2>was the biggest story of tonight's game. Yama Moto, big picture,

137
00:07:36.600 --> 00:07:39.519
<v Speaker 2>we could talk about it tomorrow, but tonight, that eighth inning,

138
00:07:39.560 --> 00:07:43.319
<v Speaker 2>we're talking about tonight's game. With the Padres winning, the

139
00:07:43.319 --> 00:07:47.240
<v Speaker 2>Diamondbacks winning, the Dodgers gave away a game and they

140
00:07:47.319 --> 00:07:50.720
<v Speaker 2>really could have put a stranglehold on this division race.

141
00:07:51.040 --> 00:07:54.720
<v Speaker 2>They're still very much in control of this race because

142
00:07:54.759 --> 00:07:58.399
<v Speaker 2>there is only seventeen more games to go and their

143
00:07:58.399 --> 00:08:01.639
<v Speaker 2>magic number is at thirteen. So by no means do

144
00:08:01.680 --> 00:08:04.480
<v Speaker 2>I believe they're giving away this division the way they

145
00:08:04.480 --> 00:08:07.920
<v Speaker 2>gave away this game in the eighth inning. But certainly

146
00:08:07.959 --> 00:08:11.000
<v Speaker 2>they could have had the hammer down on the Padres

147
00:08:11.000 --> 00:08:15.199
<v Speaker 2>and Diamondbacks, because the more wins the Dodgers get, the

148
00:08:15.240 --> 00:08:18.360
<v Speaker 2>more pressure that you put on the Padres and Diamondbacks

149
00:08:18.639 --> 00:08:23.279
<v Speaker 2>with the calendar their opponent and working against them. All right,

150
00:08:23.360 --> 00:08:26.000
<v Speaker 2>let's go out to the phones. Edwin was at Dodgers

151
00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:28.240
<v Speaker 2>Stadium tonight. Hi, Edwin, you're on Dodger Talk.

152
00:08:28.839 --> 00:08:28.920
<v Speaker 7>Ah?

153
00:08:28.959 --> 00:08:33.000
<v Speaker 3>I did, yeah, great, bought him on. Heard to tonight.

154
00:08:34.279 --> 00:08:37.600
<v Speaker 3>I guess from where I was standing, at least in

155
00:08:37.639 --> 00:08:42.000
<v Speaker 3>the eighth inning, I was obviously I still think Yamamoto

156
00:08:42.000 --> 00:08:44.240
<v Speaker 3>should have gone into this fifth if he was doing.

157
00:08:44.840 --> 00:08:47.879
<v Speaker 2>He was not going to He had not pitched since

158
00:08:47.960 --> 00:08:50.919
<v Speaker 2>June fifteenth, He had not thrown more than fifty pitches

159
00:08:50.919 --> 00:08:53.279
<v Speaker 2>in the minor leagues. He was not going out there

160
00:08:53.320 --> 00:08:56.320
<v Speaker 2>for the fifth inning, Edwin. Everybody was aware of that

161
00:08:56.360 --> 00:08:57.600
<v Speaker 2>going into the game tonight.

162
00:08:58.240 --> 00:09:01.759
<v Speaker 3>I totally get that, and that's I think. I think

163
00:09:01.759 --> 00:09:04.919
<v Speaker 3>Brian brains Will looked pretty good. But I was in

164
00:09:04.960 --> 00:09:07.000
<v Speaker 3>the eighth inning and I saw it just seemed like

165
00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:13.159
<v Speaker 3>the players were pressing for Philip, Like when Kike had

166
00:09:13.159 --> 00:09:14.960
<v Speaker 3>the ball in his glove and tried to get the

167
00:09:15.039 --> 00:09:17.720
<v Speaker 3>tag out and just drop the ball. It just seemed

168
00:09:17.720 --> 00:09:19.559
<v Speaker 3>like it was just I don't know. It just seemed

169
00:09:19.600 --> 00:09:21.840
<v Speaker 3>like the players are pressing to at that.

170
00:09:21.840 --> 00:09:24.679
<v Speaker 2>Point, pressing, Yeah, trying to do too much at that

171
00:09:24.799 --> 00:09:26.679
<v Speaker 2>point in time. I agree with you at that point

172
00:09:26.720 --> 00:09:28.600
<v Speaker 2>in time, But early in the inning, I would not

173
00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:32.519
<v Speaker 2>say they were pressing. It was just a snowball effect

174
00:09:32.519 --> 00:09:34.519
<v Speaker 2>of trying to do too much right there and being

175
00:09:34.559 --> 00:09:38.000
<v Speaker 2>out of position. Thanks for the phone call, Edwin appreciated.

176
00:09:38.320 --> 00:09:41.039
<v Speaker 2>Eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy is

177
00:09:41.080 --> 00:09:44.120
<v Speaker 2>the phone number. Not only did Austin Barnes make a

178
00:09:44.159 --> 00:09:47.360
<v Speaker 2>poor throw on a ball that should have been an

179
00:09:47.360 --> 00:09:51.879
<v Speaker 2>easy out Dansby Swanson the first batter that Phillips was facing,

180
00:09:51.960 --> 00:09:55.600
<v Speaker 2>but then Saya Suzuki hits a base hit to center field.

181
00:09:55.720 --> 00:09:59.080
<v Speaker 2>So Vessio walked Hap to start the inning, and then

182
00:09:59.200 --> 00:10:02.960
<v Speaker 2>Dave Roberts went to Evan Phillips to come in and

183
00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:06.480
<v Speaker 2>face those string of hitters. The air by Barnes, then

184
00:10:06.919 --> 00:10:10.399
<v Speaker 2>the single by Suzuki led to the game being tied.

185
00:10:10.519 --> 00:10:14.000
<v Speaker 2>Because this is not me talking, this is the manager

186
00:10:14.120 --> 00:10:17.320
<v Speaker 2>saying that Max Munsey was out of position on the

187
00:10:17.360 --> 00:10:20.480
<v Speaker 2>outfield side of the third base bag. Here was Max

188
00:10:20.559 --> 00:10:23.559
<v Speaker 2>Mounsey after the game on Sports and at LA and hopefully.

189
00:10:24.039 --> 00:10:26.840
<v Speaker 2>The first question is about the eighth inning and not

190
00:10:26.960 --> 00:10:28.000
<v Speaker 2>about Yamamoto.

191
00:10:29.559 --> 00:10:32.240
<v Speaker 8>It's good to see yoshiback. You know, we've been missing him,

192
00:10:32.320 --> 00:10:33.960
<v Speaker 8>so it's nice to see him come back. And you know,

193
00:10:34.080 --> 00:10:37.639
<v Speaker 8>his stuff looked really sharp because Fila was there, the

194
00:10:37.679 --> 00:10:39.639
<v Speaker 8>execution was there, so it was good to see. Now,

195
00:10:39.679 --> 00:10:44.480
<v Speaker 8>it was a frustrating way to lose that game. So

196
00:10:44.639 --> 00:10:47.320
<v Speaker 8>the others said about that, brother, did you.

197
00:10:47.320 --> 00:10:48.799
<v Speaker 5>Think Miguel was going to cut that off?

198
00:10:48.799 --> 00:10:49.759
<v Speaker 3>Of what sort of happened on.

199
00:10:49.720 --> 00:10:54.559
<v Speaker 8>That fliy, I mean it was thrown right at him,

200
00:10:55.000 --> 00:10:56.639
<v Speaker 8>and yeah.

201
00:10:56.600 --> 00:10:58.080
<v Speaker 9>I thought he was going to catch it, and.

202
00:11:00.279 --> 00:11:02.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, thanks talking.

203
00:11:02.039 --> 00:11:03.960
<v Speaker 10>About I didn't want to see you guys will playoff.

204
00:11:04.000 --> 00:11:05.440
<v Speaker 10>We think it was a Niel like ninety.

205
00:11:05.720 --> 00:11:07.480
<v Speaker 11>We're trying to step back there kind of you kind

206
00:11:07.480 --> 00:11:09.440
<v Speaker 11>of clean that up here these last couple of weeks,

207
00:11:09.480 --> 00:11:11.360
<v Speaker 11>since you guys get closer to October.

208
00:11:12.240 --> 00:11:13.399
<v Speaker 9>I made a lot of mental mistakes.

209
00:11:13.399 --> 00:11:14.240
<v Speaker 6>Now we got to eliminate that.

210
00:11:15.000 --> 00:11:16.480
<v Speaker 8>I think it's the biggest thing where he's got a

211
00:11:16.919 --> 00:11:18.720
<v Speaker 8>clear heads come back tomorrow.

212
00:11:19.200 --> 00:11:19.759
<v Speaker 12>Plague again.

213
00:11:20.919 --> 00:11:22.440
<v Speaker 13>Nice, what'd you thinking about you Ma Naga?

214
00:11:23.559 --> 00:11:23.759
<v Speaker 10>Oh?

215
00:11:23.879 --> 00:11:27.840
<v Speaker 8>No, he was good. You know, he maybe missed on

216
00:11:27.879 --> 00:11:29.360
<v Speaker 8>a couple of pitches he was trying to execute. But

217
00:11:29.600 --> 00:11:30.840
<v Speaker 8>you know I was I thought it.

218
00:11:30.840 --> 00:11:31.360
<v Speaker 5>Was pretty good.

219
00:11:32.159 --> 00:11:36.440
<v Speaker 2>Okay, So the first question was about Yamamoto. Look, I'm

220
00:11:36.480 --> 00:11:39.120
<v Speaker 2>all in on Yamamoto and it being a big deal

221
00:11:39.159 --> 00:11:41.559
<v Speaker 2>that he came back tonight. But when you're talking to

222
00:11:41.600 --> 00:11:44.360
<v Speaker 2>two key players, I make key mistakes in the eighth

223
00:11:44.440 --> 00:11:47.799
<v Speaker 2>inning that cost the Dodgers the game to a certain extent.

224
00:11:49.399 --> 00:11:52.440
<v Speaker 2>It's the eighth inning tonight. It really is. Eight six

225
00:11:52.600 --> 00:11:56.000
<v Speaker 2>six nine seven two five seventy is the phone number.

226
00:11:56.240 --> 00:11:59.440
<v Speaker 2>Let's go out to Danny, who is at Dodgers Stadium tonight. Hi, Danny,

227
00:11:59.440 --> 00:12:00.440
<v Speaker 2>you're on Dodge your talk.

228
00:12:01.120 --> 00:12:03.799
<v Speaker 11>Hey Dave, thanks for get to be on the Do

229
00:12:03.840 --> 00:12:07.120
<v Speaker 11>you want to talk about too? I do want to

230
00:12:07.120 --> 00:12:08.799
<v Speaker 11>talk about yama motive, but we could talk about the

231
00:12:08.799 --> 00:12:10.639
<v Speaker 11>aph D a little bit and kind of looks like

232
00:12:10.679 --> 00:12:13.240
<v Speaker 11>the like the little league team, like the maybe like

233
00:12:13.240 --> 00:12:16.240
<v Speaker 11>the Wildland Nills Dodgers or the West Comino Dodgers or something.

234
00:12:16.720 --> 00:12:16.879
<v Speaker 3>Uh.

235
00:12:17.600 --> 00:12:22.360
<v Speaker 2>Playing there did the thought, Yeah, what was your thought?

236
00:12:24.240 --> 00:12:26.720
<v Speaker 11>Well, my thought as far as both having to do

237
00:12:26.879 --> 00:12:31.399
<v Speaker 11>with the saved ap with Austin Barnes, you know he's

238
00:12:31.440 --> 00:12:34.320
<v Speaker 11>he's a pretty good defensive catcher. But my thought was

239
00:12:34.360 --> 00:12:37.080
<v Speaker 11>on that play, it was very similar to the day

240
00:12:37.120 --> 00:12:39.360
<v Speaker 11>that he broke his toe. He made a very similar

241
00:12:39.399 --> 00:12:42.799
<v Speaker 11>play on a air and throw on a very similar play,

242
00:12:42.840 --> 00:12:45.240
<v Speaker 11>and I'm just wondering maybe tonight the toe might have

243
00:12:45.320 --> 00:12:46.639
<v Speaker 11>something to do with that, because I know he wasn't

244
00:12:46.639 --> 00:12:49.360
<v Speaker 11>down that long and you know, don't don't yell that fast.

245
00:12:49.600 --> 00:12:51.159
<v Speaker 11>So I just wanted to sound like him to make

246
00:12:51.159 --> 00:12:53.360
<v Speaker 11>that type of play, and maybe the tostill bothering him today.

247
00:12:53.840 --> 00:12:56.080
<v Speaker 11>Other than that, I mean, t K he's got to

248
00:12:56.120 --> 00:12:58.960
<v Speaker 11>give one out there back and they gotta figure that

249
00:12:59.440 --> 00:13:03.480
<v Speaker 11>just had a bad It's gonna happen. But yeah, Yamamoto,

250
00:13:03.960 --> 00:13:05.720
<v Speaker 11>he was something else man. I was right to have

251
00:13:05.799 --> 00:13:10.159
<v Speaker 11>a Dodger tech guy electric to night. He was kind

252
00:13:10.159 --> 00:13:12.240
<v Speaker 11>of a weird game. It was like a big league

253
00:13:12.240 --> 00:13:14.120
<v Speaker 11>rehab game where we knew it was on you go

254
00:13:14.200 --> 00:13:17.000
<v Speaker 11>a few innings. But he looked amazing. When he struck

255
00:13:17.000 --> 00:13:19.759
<v Speaker 11>out what seven or eight of the first face, I

256
00:13:19.759 --> 00:13:22.519
<v Speaker 11>think and stuff like that is going to get it done.

257
00:13:22.759 --> 00:13:24.720
<v Speaker 11>And I think that maybe people are sleeping on just

258
00:13:24.759 --> 00:13:27.399
<v Speaker 11>how good this guy really is. But that was really

259
00:13:27.399 --> 00:13:29.759
<v Speaker 11>impressive to see the way his today. They could not

260
00:13:29.840 --> 00:13:31.639
<v Speaker 11>even touch him game, they couldn't touch him.

261
00:13:31.799 --> 00:13:36.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, big picture, that was really encouraging and hopefully that continues.

262
00:13:36.440 --> 00:13:39.879
<v Speaker 2>And like I said, everybody was panicking over whether or

263
00:13:39.960 --> 00:13:42.960
<v Speaker 2>not glass Now and yama Moto would be ready for

264
00:13:43.000 --> 00:13:46.080
<v Speaker 2>the postseason. I'm a firm believer. If you only have

265
00:13:46.240 --> 00:13:50.120
<v Speaker 2>one healthy, you have that version of yama Moto going

266
00:13:50.159 --> 00:13:54.679
<v Speaker 2>into the playoffs with Jack Flaherty, You're in a pretty

267
00:13:54.679 --> 00:13:57.840
<v Speaker 2>good spot as far as I'm concerned. So to me,

268
00:13:58.399 --> 00:14:02.159
<v Speaker 2>all you need is either glass Now or Yamamoto healthy.

269
00:14:02.279 --> 00:14:05.159
<v Speaker 2>And if it's Yamamoto and that version of it, I

270
00:14:05.159 --> 00:14:07.200
<v Speaker 2>think the Dodgers are in a good spot with Jack

271
00:14:07.200 --> 00:14:09.919
<v Speaker 2>Flaherty and Yamamoto as your first two starters.

272
00:14:10.799 --> 00:14:12.519
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, it's excited to be to look forward to they

273
00:14:12.559 --> 00:14:13.159
<v Speaker 11>can keep it up.

274
00:14:13.200 --> 00:14:13.919
<v Speaker 4>But I'll take.

275
00:14:13.759 --> 00:14:16.799
<v Speaker 11>Glass Now too, man even a Stone or Kershaw as well.

276
00:14:17.159 --> 00:14:21.519
<v Speaker 11>But yeah, you're definitely right to start, all.

277
00:14:21.519 --> 00:14:23.600
<v Speaker 2>Right, Danny, Thanks for the phone call. I would say

278
00:14:23.679 --> 00:14:26.480
<v Speaker 2>right now, glass Now is more of a sure thing

279
00:14:26.559 --> 00:14:30.240
<v Speaker 2>than Kershaw or Gavin Stone. Gavin Stone still is not

280
00:14:30.320 --> 00:14:33.039
<v Speaker 2>going to pick up a baseball for another seven to

281
00:14:33.039 --> 00:14:38.080
<v Speaker 2>ten days. Kershaw is keeping his arm moving, but they're there.

282
00:14:38.120 --> 00:14:42.159
<v Speaker 2>Doesn't seem much improvement in that left big toe, so

283
00:14:42.200 --> 00:14:44.679
<v Speaker 2>we'll see whether or not that happens before the end

284
00:14:44.759 --> 00:14:48.200
<v Speaker 2>of the season. There's a real chance that he may

285
00:14:48.440 --> 00:14:52.200
<v Speaker 2>be limited in any capacity coming out of the bullpen,

286
00:14:52.360 --> 00:14:55.519
<v Speaker 2>or if he starts a game, maybe being piggybacked with

287
00:14:55.639 --> 00:14:59.360
<v Speaker 2>another starter. And speaking of that, Tony Gonsolin, remember him,

288
00:14:59.399 --> 00:15:02.559
<v Speaker 2>Tony Ganza. He was out here at Dodgers Stadium on

289
00:15:02.600 --> 00:15:06.799
<v Speaker 2>the last homestand throwing off the mound here in over

290
00:15:06.879 --> 00:15:10.120
<v Speaker 2>a year, and it wasn't a coincidence. There was a

291
00:15:10.159 --> 00:15:14.440
<v Speaker 2>lot of Dodgers medical staff and player personnel people watching

292
00:15:14.600 --> 00:15:18.240
<v Speaker 2>him throw here, and with all the technology they have

293
00:15:18.360 --> 00:15:21.000
<v Speaker 2>here in the stadium, they wanted to measure where Gonsolin

294
00:15:21.320 --> 00:15:24.639
<v Speaker 2>was well. He must have passed the test because tonight

295
00:15:25.080 --> 00:15:29.799
<v Speaker 2>Tony Gonsolin made his first rehab start since undergoing Tommy

296
00:15:29.879 --> 00:15:33.399
<v Speaker 2>John surgery a year ago. He went two innings tonight

297
00:15:33.720 --> 00:15:39.600
<v Speaker 2>for Oklahoma City. So he definitely is a possibility coming

298
00:15:39.639 --> 00:15:42.080
<v Speaker 2>down the stretch here to be some part of this

299
00:15:42.200 --> 00:15:46.879
<v Speaker 2>pitching staff. We'll see where it goes between here and

300
00:15:46.919 --> 00:15:49.720
<v Speaker 2>by the time the Dodgers have to set their playoff roster.

301
00:15:49.919 --> 00:15:54.320
<v Speaker 2>But there's a purpose to Tony Gonsolin's starting tonight in

302
00:15:54.360 --> 00:15:58.120
<v Speaker 2>Oklahoma City. It's not just part of the process. It

303
00:15:58.320 --> 00:16:01.720
<v Speaker 2>is part of the process, but it's not for necessarily

304
00:16:02.000 --> 00:16:05.240
<v Speaker 2>next year. It could be meaning that the Dodgers have

305
00:16:05.320 --> 00:16:08.960
<v Speaker 2>some urgency here eight six, six, nine, seven, two five

306
00:16:09.120 --> 00:16:12.120
<v Speaker 2>seventy is the phone number. Dodgers fall to the Cubs

307
00:16:12.159 --> 00:16:15.799
<v Speaker 2>six to three. We got to give a local kid

308
00:16:16.840 --> 00:16:21.879
<v Speaker 2>some love tonight. Peter crow Armstrong made amazing plays in

309
00:16:22.000 --> 00:16:25.759
<v Speaker 2>center field tonight in right center in center field. We

310
00:16:25.799 --> 00:16:27.879
<v Speaker 2>all know about the catch he made to end the

311
00:16:27.919 --> 00:16:31.720
<v Speaker 2>game tonight. Just an incredible player tonight for the Dodger

312
00:16:31.840 --> 00:16:34.840
<v Speaker 2>for the Cubs out of Harvard Westlake. So tip of

313
00:16:34.840 --> 00:16:38.200
<v Speaker 2>the cap to a local kid, Peter crow Armstrong, who

314
00:16:38.639 --> 00:16:41.639
<v Speaker 2>certainly made a difference for the Cubs in the outfield

315
00:16:41.679 --> 00:16:44.120
<v Speaker 2>with his defense because there were a few balls out

316
00:16:44.159 --> 00:16:47.000
<v Speaker 2>there that could have gone for extra base hits, and

317
00:16:47.039 --> 00:16:50.720
<v Speaker 2>certainly Munsey's two run home run. Nobody asked Munsey about

318
00:16:50.720 --> 00:16:53.600
<v Speaker 2>that either the catch crow Armstrong made on him to

319
00:16:53.759 --> 00:16:55.519
<v Speaker 2>end the game, it would have been a two run

320
00:16:55.559 --> 00:16:58.320
<v Speaker 2>home run and the Dodgers would have been one run

321
00:16:58.399 --> 00:17:02.039
<v Speaker 2>down against the relief pitcher that obviously wasn't feeling one

322
00:17:02.120 --> 00:17:05.359
<v Speaker 2>hundred percent physically, so he certainly saved the day for

323
00:17:05.440 --> 00:17:09.079
<v Speaker 2>the Cubs. The Dodger defense let them down and Peter

324
00:17:09.240 --> 00:17:12.799
<v Speaker 2>Crow Armstrong's defense in center field picked them up to

325
00:17:12.839 --> 00:17:16.160
<v Speaker 2>help beat the Dodgers tonight six to three. Let's go

326
00:17:16.240 --> 00:17:19.319
<v Speaker 2>out to Pat in Oxnard. You're on Dodger Talk, Hi, Pat?

327
00:17:20.240 --> 00:17:23.720
<v Speaker 10>Hey, how you doing. I'm a Cubs fan, and I'm

328
00:17:23.799 --> 00:17:27.279
<v Speaker 10>sorry out here in California for out here in California

329
00:17:27.359 --> 00:17:28.799
<v Speaker 10>for a while, I got to go to the game

330
00:17:28.880 --> 00:17:31.200
<v Speaker 10>last night. I couldn't go tonight. I would have loved

331
00:17:31.200 --> 00:17:32.720
<v Speaker 10>to have been there tonight.

332
00:17:32.880 --> 00:17:35.559
<v Speaker 2>Man, a lot of Cubs coming Dodger Stadium.

333
00:17:36.400 --> 00:17:40.480
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, Cup fans pretty much, you know, support every every

334
00:17:40.880 --> 00:17:43.359
<v Speaker 10>town they travel around. Plus there's just a lot of

335
00:17:43.359 --> 00:17:46.680
<v Speaker 10>Cup fans transplanted, you know, live in different areas. So

336
00:17:46.799 --> 00:17:49.039
<v Speaker 10>every every time I go, I've been to like over

337
00:17:49.079 --> 00:17:51.960
<v Speaker 10>half the Major League ballparks and I've been to Dodger

338
00:17:52.000 --> 00:17:54.920
<v Speaker 10>Stadium before. I loved going to games here. But the

339
00:17:54.960 --> 00:17:57.960
<v Speaker 10>reason I was calling, I was a little surprised last

340
00:17:58.039 --> 00:18:00.920
<v Speaker 10>night to Dodger fans. I was talking to disappointed they

341
00:18:00.920 --> 00:18:04.400
<v Speaker 10>are and listening on the radio last night and tonight

342
00:18:05.480 --> 00:18:07.960
<v Speaker 10>I mean, you know, Dodgers have such a great organization,

343
00:18:08.160 --> 00:18:11.160
<v Speaker 10>such a great team. You guys should try to being

344
00:18:11.200 --> 00:18:14.359
<v Speaker 10>a Cub fan. Sometimes you want to talk about being disappointed.

345
00:18:14.720 --> 00:18:16.319
<v Speaker 2>There we go pack give them some.

346
00:18:18.680 --> 00:18:20.960
<v Speaker 10>Exactly. I mean, we're four games out of the wild

347
00:18:21.000 --> 00:18:23.559
<v Speaker 10>Card and we're all excited about it. You know, you

348
00:18:23.599 --> 00:18:26.119
<v Speaker 10>guys have the best records or second best record of

349
00:18:26.200 --> 00:18:29.640
<v Speaker 10>Major League International League anyway, probably pretty close to all

350
00:18:29.680 --> 00:18:32.839
<v Speaker 10>of baseball. And uh, you know, just an incredible team

351
00:18:32.880 --> 00:18:35.640
<v Speaker 10>that your top of your lineup I call a murderers rope,

352
00:18:36.039 --> 00:18:38.200
<v Speaker 10>you know. I mean, those guys are all all stars,

353
00:18:38.200 --> 00:18:43.799
<v Speaker 10>probably all of famers for Geraldtani and Mooky Bets and everything.

354
00:18:43.920 --> 00:18:46.599
<v Speaker 10>So and at the bottom of the lineup, the averages

355
00:18:46.680 --> 00:18:49.119
<v Speaker 10>drop off a little, but the power is there. I mean,

356
00:18:49.160 --> 00:18:51.119
<v Speaker 10>every one of those guys is a home run threat

357
00:18:51.200 --> 00:18:53.359
<v Speaker 10>pretty much. So yeah, I just I just want to

358
00:18:53.440 --> 00:18:55.920
<v Speaker 10>let you guys know, I'm really impressed with the Dodgers

359
00:18:56.079 --> 00:18:58.759
<v Speaker 10>organization and the team. I know, you got a ton

360
00:18:58.799 --> 00:19:00.839
<v Speaker 10>of injuries, and that's part of the game. It's just

361
00:19:00.920 --> 00:19:02.759
<v Speaker 10>something you gotta gotta deal with.

362
00:19:02.839 --> 00:19:06.000
<v Speaker 2>But see, there you go, a nice midwesterner calling in

363
00:19:06.039 --> 00:19:09.599
<v Speaker 2>and complimenting the opposing team appreciate the phone call, Pat,

364
00:19:09.640 --> 00:19:12.440
<v Speaker 2>and it's great to hear from a fan of the

365
00:19:12.480 --> 00:19:15.759
<v Speaker 2>Cubs or any other fan base that can give Dodger

366
00:19:15.799 --> 00:19:19.359
<v Speaker 2>fans who have been spoiled since twenty thirteen some perspective.

367
00:19:19.440 --> 00:19:21.960
<v Speaker 2>And you know, I was I was tempted to bring

368
00:19:22.039 --> 00:19:24.440
<v Speaker 2>up the failed dynasty, but you're such a nice guy.

369
00:19:24.559 --> 00:19:25.400
<v Speaker 2>I won't do that.

370
00:19:26.400 --> 00:19:26.640
<v Speaker 3>Right.

371
00:19:26.759 --> 00:19:28.880
<v Speaker 10>Well, Well, like I said, I've been Cub fan all

372
00:19:28.920 --> 00:19:30.960
<v Speaker 10>my life, forty years.

373
00:19:31.160 --> 00:19:31.920
<v Speaker 14>I'm used to it.

374
00:19:31.960 --> 00:19:33.599
<v Speaker 2>Well, I'm glad you got to see them win in

375
00:19:33.680 --> 00:19:36.880
<v Speaker 2>twenty sixteen. Pat, I'm glad you got to enjoy that.

376
00:19:36.880 --> 00:19:39.319
<v Speaker 2>That's enough Cubs talk now. Okay, I gotta go. I

377
00:19:39.359 --> 00:19:40.519
<v Speaker 2>can't do this anymore.

378
00:19:40.680 --> 00:19:42.480
<v Speaker 10>You got a brother, Okay.

379
00:19:42.160 --> 00:19:44.559
<v Speaker 2>Pat, thanks for the phone call. Such a nice guy.

380
00:19:44.599 --> 00:19:48.240
<v Speaker 2>See there you go, Dodger fans. That's the perspective of

381
00:19:48.279 --> 00:19:51.920
<v Speaker 2>a lifelong Cubs fan who obviously has had a lot

382
00:19:51.920 --> 00:19:56.400
<v Speaker 2>of losing in his life and certainly puts everything in perspective.

383
00:19:56.480 --> 00:20:00.359
<v Speaker 2>But the standard obviously in Los Angeles sport or is

384
00:20:00.400 --> 00:20:04.000
<v Speaker 2>a little bit higher than Chicago sports. I know, outside

385
00:20:04.039 --> 00:20:06.920
<v Speaker 2>of that six year run for the Bulls, they really

386
00:20:07.000 --> 00:20:10.119
<v Speaker 2>haven't had that much success in that city. Of sports.

387
00:20:10.359 --> 00:20:13.799
<v Speaker 2>Let's go out to Ed. Who is that Dodger stadium tonight?

388
00:20:13.839 --> 00:20:16.359
<v Speaker 2>I hope you appreciated what that Cubs fan had.

389
00:20:16.200 --> 00:20:19.039
<v Speaker 12>To say, Ed, Yeah I did. I'm a big Cubs

390
00:20:19.039 --> 00:20:23.279
<v Speaker 12>fan from way back to But you're a Cubs fan too, well,

391
00:20:23.480 --> 00:20:26.680
<v Speaker 12>who isn't right? They're a great organization. I'm a Dodger

392
00:20:26.720 --> 00:20:30.119
<v Speaker 12>fan all the way, right, I'm born and raised in California.

393
00:20:30.359 --> 00:20:33.519
<v Speaker 2>Though, I'm confused. Hold on, I'm confused. You said you're

394
00:20:33.559 --> 00:20:36.160
<v Speaker 2>a Cubs fan. Who wouldn't be, and then you just

395
00:20:36.200 --> 00:20:38.759
<v Speaker 2>said you're a Dodger fan. So you like the Dodgers

396
00:20:38.759 --> 00:20:40.039
<v Speaker 2>and the Cubs?

397
00:20:40.039 --> 00:20:40.480
<v Speaker 11>Correct?

398
00:20:40.559 --> 00:20:44.920
<v Speaker 12>Yeah, both organizations. And you know, watching Ernie Banks play

399
00:20:44.920 --> 00:20:47.960
<v Speaker 12>when I was a kid, you know who can play

400
00:20:48.039 --> 00:20:48.759
<v Speaker 12>like that man did?

401
00:20:48.839 --> 00:20:51.759
<v Speaker 2>Right? He was a great player play, but I heard

402
00:20:51.759 --> 00:20:52.559
<v Speaker 2>he was great.

403
00:20:53.440 --> 00:20:58.160
<v Speaker 12>Yeah, but congratulations on you given the guy props for

404
00:20:58.240 --> 00:21:00.319
<v Speaker 12>center field. The guy just killed us today and he

405
00:21:00.359 --> 00:21:04.359
<v Speaker 12>played well yesterday. He had that error, but he's gonna

406
00:21:04.359 --> 00:21:06.279
<v Speaker 12>be a great player. Of that kid, and it was

407
00:21:06.319 --> 00:21:06.960
<v Speaker 12>great tonight.

408
00:21:07.519 --> 00:21:10.319
<v Speaker 2>He saved the day for the Cubs because not only

409
00:21:10.400 --> 00:21:13.240
<v Speaker 2>Robbie Munsey of that two run home run, but there

410
00:21:13.279 --> 00:21:16.319
<v Speaker 2>was some miscommunication and a lot of ground to cover

411
00:21:16.440 --> 00:21:18.960
<v Speaker 2>out there and right center field between him and Bellinger.

412
00:21:19.720 --> 00:21:21.200
<v Speaker 12>Yeah, and that's what I liked about it. And he

413
00:21:21.240 --> 00:21:23.319
<v Speaker 12>got to jump on those balls that were hit well

414
00:21:23.640 --> 00:21:26.279
<v Speaker 12>and he put a stop to him. So that guy's

415
00:21:26.279 --> 00:21:30.599
<v Speaker 12>got a future too that he touched us up today.

416
00:21:31.039 --> 00:21:33.559
<v Speaker 2>Yep, thanks for the phone call, ed appreciate it. By

417
00:21:33.599 --> 00:21:36.880
<v Speaker 2>the way. On that home run robbing catch that ended

418
00:21:36.880 --> 00:21:40.880
<v Speaker 2>the game by crow Armstrong, those home run seats, I

419
00:21:40.920 --> 00:21:44.240
<v Speaker 2>love him. I strongly encourage you, if you have not

420
00:21:44.440 --> 00:21:46.599
<v Speaker 2>sat there for a game, to sit there for a

421
00:21:46.680 --> 00:21:50.119
<v Speaker 2>game because it gives you a perspective on the game

422
00:21:50.200 --> 00:21:53.640
<v Speaker 2>that you don't have sitting anywhere else at Dodgers Stadium.

423
00:21:53.680 --> 00:21:56.279
<v Speaker 2>So I always urge people that want to come to

424
00:21:56.319 --> 00:21:58.720
<v Speaker 2>a game just try it out there and you will

425
00:21:58.759 --> 00:22:02.279
<v Speaker 2>fall in love with it. But with those home run

426
00:22:02.359 --> 00:22:06.000
<v Speaker 2>seats come some of these fans that are very eager

427
00:22:06.039 --> 00:22:09.000
<v Speaker 2>to catch the home run balls, and that was the

428
00:22:09.039 --> 00:22:12.240
<v Speaker 2>case tonight on the ball hit by Munsei that Crow

429
00:22:12.400 --> 00:22:17.480
<v Speaker 2>Armstrong caught. He robbed Munsey's two run home run not

430
00:22:17.759 --> 00:22:20.200
<v Speaker 2>only just trying to make the catch over the wall,

431
00:22:20.240 --> 00:22:23.200
<v Speaker 2>but there were two fans who got their arms in

432
00:22:23.240 --> 00:22:27.359
<v Speaker 2>the way and somehow, some way, the ball missed their

433
00:22:27.680 --> 00:22:31.759
<v Speaker 2>arms and went into Crow Armstrong's gloves. So not only

434
00:22:31.960 --> 00:22:34.720
<v Speaker 2>was he fighting the elements, he was fighting fans that

435
00:22:34.799 --> 00:22:38.319
<v Speaker 2>were trying to catch the home run. And those two

436
00:22:38.359 --> 00:22:41.599
<v Speaker 2>fans I saw the replay at first, they had their

437
00:22:41.720 --> 00:22:45.160
<v Speaker 2>arms over the wall trying to catch the ball. They

438
00:22:45.240 --> 00:22:48.720
<v Speaker 2>pulled it back I think just in time, but just

439
00:22:48.759 --> 00:22:52.000
<v Speaker 2>in case you don't know the rules, and Rick Monday

440
00:22:52.000 --> 00:22:55.480
<v Speaker 2>and Steven Nelson confirmed it for me. In a situation

441
00:22:55.759 --> 00:22:58.799
<v Speaker 2>like that, if you're reaching over the wall and you

442
00:22:58.920 --> 00:23:03.559
<v Speaker 2>touched the baseball, well, in fair play, the Dodger player

443
00:23:03.640 --> 00:23:06.759
<v Speaker 2>will be called out. So if those fans had their

444
00:23:06.880 --> 00:23:10.000
<v Speaker 2>arms over the wall and touch the ball when they

445
00:23:10.039 --> 00:23:13.440
<v Speaker 2>had their arms reaching over, Munsey would have been called

446
00:23:13.519 --> 00:23:17.279
<v Speaker 2>out and those fans would have been public Enemy number

447
00:23:17.319 --> 00:23:20.559
<v Speaker 2>one on their way out of this game. Eight six

448
00:23:20.680 --> 00:23:23.720
<v Speaker 2>six nine eight seven two five seventy is the phone number.

449
00:23:23.960 --> 00:23:26.759
<v Speaker 2>Let's go out to Robert, who is at Dodgers Stadium tonight.

450
00:23:26.839 --> 00:23:28.400
<v Speaker 2>Hi Robert, you're on Dodger Talk.

451
00:23:29.160 --> 00:23:32.039
<v Speaker 9>Hi Dave, good to talk to you. I think you've

452
00:23:32.079 --> 00:23:35.319
<v Speaker 9>been spot on tonight with everything you talked about. Particularly,

453
00:23:35.720 --> 00:23:38.279
<v Speaker 9>I want to draw attention back to a comment you

454
00:23:38.319 --> 00:23:41.759
<v Speaker 9>made about the Andy pattera is not getting his uniform

455
00:23:41.799 --> 00:23:43.839
<v Speaker 9>dirty in the seventh and how that kind of rolled

456
00:23:43.880 --> 00:23:45.920
<v Speaker 9>in over into the eighth inning.

457
00:23:46.319 --> 00:23:48.000
<v Speaker 3>I do think that.

458
00:23:48.160 --> 00:23:51.359
<v Speaker 9>I never talked about effort with professional athletes. I would

459
00:23:51.359 --> 00:23:55.240
<v Speaker 9>never ever accuse a professional athlete of not giving effort.

460
00:23:55.519 --> 00:23:58.119
<v Speaker 9>But I think there was a difference in investment between

461
00:23:58.160 --> 00:23:59.880
<v Speaker 9>the Cubs and the Dodgers tonight.

462
00:24:00.440 --> 00:24:02.720
<v Speaker 3>When you look at crow.

463
00:24:02.640 --> 00:24:05.839
<v Speaker 13>Armstrong, the place he was making, Yeah, they were amazing

464
00:24:05.880 --> 00:24:08.759
<v Speaker 13>and they made what four of them, But the defense

465
00:24:08.920 --> 00:24:13.119
<v Speaker 13>that he was a member of was just overall solid

466
00:24:13.119 --> 00:24:15.400
<v Speaker 13>all night, which is more than can be said at

467
00:24:15.400 --> 00:24:18.640
<v Speaker 13>the Dodgers and being at the stadium, I was hoping

468
00:24:18.680 --> 00:24:21.480
<v Speaker 13>that at some point during the game the Dodgers would

469
00:24:21.559 --> 00:24:24.119
<v Speaker 13>kind of treat that personally and show them that they

470
00:24:24.160 --> 00:24:26.359
<v Speaker 13>can play defense too, and.

471
00:24:27.000 --> 00:24:29.920
<v Speaker 9>Instead the opposite happened. So that was frustrating for me.

472
00:24:30.279 --> 00:24:32.839
<v Speaker 9>I want to get in a positive before I stopped

473
00:24:32.839 --> 00:24:36.119
<v Speaker 9>talking here, one that hasn't been talked about too much,

474
00:24:36.400 --> 00:24:40.119
<v Speaker 9>And what a great game offensively for Edmund and the

475
00:24:40.119 --> 00:24:42.880
<v Speaker 9>two home runs. I was surprised that Aim and I

476
00:24:43.000 --> 00:24:45.279
<v Speaker 9>get threw him another fastball after he hit the first

477
00:24:45.279 --> 00:24:48.160
<v Speaker 9>one out Edmund said thank you very much and hit

478
00:24:48.200 --> 00:24:50.680
<v Speaker 9>it out again, and that was a very exciting moment

479
00:24:50.720 --> 00:24:52.759
<v Speaker 9>to stand up and wave goodbye to that baseball in

480
00:24:52.839 --> 00:24:53.319
<v Speaker 9>the stands.

481
00:24:53.640 --> 00:24:55.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that was a great night for Tommy Edmund. Not

482
00:24:55.960 --> 00:24:58.000
<v Speaker 2>only did he tie the game in the bottom of

483
00:24:58.039 --> 00:25:00.799
<v Speaker 2>the second inning with his first home run as a Dodger,

484
00:25:00.880 --> 00:25:02.920
<v Speaker 2>but then he hit his second home run as a

485
00:25:02.960 --> 00:25:06.119
<v Speaker 2>Dodger off of Emanaga in the fourth inning to give

486
00:25:06.160 --> 00:25:09.240
<v Speaker 2>them a lead. So yeah, that was nice. And Steven Nelson,

487
00:25:09.279 --> 00:25:14.759
<v Speaker 2>who obviously follows the league out there in Japan, he

488
00:25:14.839 --> 00:25:18.640
<v Speaker 2>had the great scanner report on Emanaga that he was

489
00:25:18.720 --> 00:25:20.960
<v Speaker 2>prone to giving up the home run ball over there,

490
00:25:21.000 --> 00:25:23.720
<v Speaker 2>and we saw that tonight. The three runs the Dodgers

491
00:25:23.720 --> 00:25:27.279
<v Speaker 2>scored off at Emaaga were home runs, two by Edmund

492
00:25:27.319 --> 00:25:30.319
<v Speaker 2>and the other by Max Munsey. But Ima Naga has

493
00:25:30.319 --> 00:25:34.839
<v Speaker 2>had an incredible season, his first in Major League baseball.

494
00:25:34.880 --> 00:25:38.480
<v Speaker 2>He's now thirteen and three with an ERA now that

495
00:25:38.640 --> 00:25:42.519
<v Speaker 2>is under three or just over three now three oh three.

496
00:25:42.720 --> 00:25:46.160
<v Speaker 2>So he's had a great year. And the Cubs would

497
00:25:46.160 --> 00:25:49.599
<v Speaker 2>not be just four games out of the last wildcard

498
00:25:49.640 --> 00:25:53.440
<v Speaker 2>spot without having a guy like Imanaga on their staff.

499
00:25:53.880 --> 00:25:56.759
<v Speaker 2>Eight six six ninety seven two, five seventy is the

500
00:25:56.799 --> 00:26:00.200
<v Speaker 2>phone number. When we continue here on Dodger Top, we

501
00:26:00.240 --> 00:26:03.319
<v Speaker 2>will hear from Jose Mota. Also we'll let you hear

502
00:26:03.359 --> 00:26:07.720
<v Speaker 2>from Dave Roberts again about why Anthony Banda had to

503
00:26:07.720 --> 00:26:11.480
<v Speaker 2>be placed on the il before the game tonight with

504
00:26:11.559 --> 00:26:15.680
<v Speaker 2>a fracture in his left pitching hand. We'll fill you

505
00:26:15.759 --> 00:26:17.640
<v Speaker 2>in and also we have a pair of tickets to

506
00:26:17.680 --> 00:26:22.240
<v Speaker 2>give away for tomorrow night's game against the Cubs. Dodgers

507
00:26:22.319 --> 00:26:24.880
<v Speaker 2>fall to the Cubs tonight six to three on a

511
00:26:38.960 --> 00:26:42.319
<v Speaker 14>Dodger Talk with Dodger insider David Vasse.

512
00:26:43.400 --> 00:26:46.160
<v Speaker 1>August first pitch, Edmund swings again, drives of all left

513
00:26:46.160 --> 00:26:48.640
<v Speaker 1>center field, carrying back, carrying back.

514
00:26:48.599 --> 00:26:51.759
<v Speaker 2>Bro I'm strong at the wall. It's out it air.

515
00:26:53.880 --> 00:27:00.319
<v Speaker 2>Tommy Edman has done it again. Tommy Edmond with his

516
00:27:00.440 --> 00:27:04.599
<v Speaker 2>first two Dodger home runs in the same game, tying

517
00:27:04.680 --> 00:27:07.960
<v Speaker 2>the game up in the second inning and then giving

518
00:27:08.000 --> 00:27:10.599
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers a two to one lead in the fourth inning,

519
00:27:10.759 --> 00:27:16.039
<v Speaker 2>both off a Shotta Imanaga. Unfortunately, three errors in the

520
00:27:16.079 --> 00:27:19.640
<v Speaker 2>eighth inning costs the Dodgers tonight as the Cubs come

521
00:27:19.680 --> 00:27:23.039
<v Speaker 2>from behind to beat the Dodgers six to three. And

522
00:27:23.160 --> 00:27:26.000
<v Speaker 2>the Cubs have won the first two games of this series,

523
00:27:26.039 --> 00:27:29.279
<v Speaker 2>so the Dodgers looking to salvage the final one before

524
00:27:29.279 --> 00:27:33.480
<v Speaker 2>they head out on the road again to Atlanta and Miami.

<v Speaker 2>Daniels Jewelers own the Dream. We are going Dodger Talk overtime.

530
00:27:53.920 --> 00:27:57.000
<v Speaker 2>We are taking you to eleven thirty tonight. We still

531
00:27:57.000 --> 00:27:59.160
<v Speaker 2>have a pair of tickets to give away to tomorrow

532
00:27:59.279 --> 00:28:03.279
<v Speaker 2>night's game, Max Munsey Bobblehead Night. We will hear from

533
00:28:03.359 --> 00:28:06.480
<v Speaker 2>Jose Mota as well. But if you were listening to

534
00:28:06.559 --> 00:28:09.119
<v Speaker 2>the show the last couple of nights, I had relayed

535
00:28:09.359 --> 00:28:12.160
<v Speaker 2>what Dave Roberts was saying as far as a plan

536
00:28:12.519 --> 00:28:16.400
<v Speaker 2>for Bruce Star Gratterol to be activated. Dave Roberts had

537
00:28:16.440 --> 00:28:21.319
<v Speaker 2>said yesterday that Grattarol was going to be activated tomorrow

538
00:28:21.799 --> 00:28:26.319
<v Speaker 2>and be available for tomorrow's game. Well, about forty minutes

539
00:28:26.359 --> 00:28:30.200
<v Speaker 2>before first pitch tonight, we got word from the Dodgers

540
00:28:30.200 --> 00:28:35.839
<v Speaker 2>that they had activated Bruce star Gratterol, but surprisingly had

541
00:28:35.880 --> 00:28:40.039
<v Speaker 2>put Anthony Bonda on the il with a fracture in

542
00:28:40.119 --> 00:28:43.519
<v Speaker 2>his left pitching hand. And last night Bonda did not

543
00:28:43.640 --> 00:28:47.759
<v Speaker 2>pitch particularly well. We all speculated that, you know, we've

544
00:28:47.759 --> 00:28:51.519
<v Speaker 2>heard this before where pitchers let their emotions get the

545
00:28:51.559 --> 00:28:55.680
<v Speaker 2>best of them. They're not thinking and sometimes punch a

546
00:28:55.759 --> 00:28:59.519
<v Speaker 2>wall or something with their pitching hand, and that is

547
00:28:59.599 --> 00:29:04.559
<v Speaker 2>not five beta Kappa. And apparently that's what Anthony Bonda

548
00:29:04.559 --> 00:29:08.519
<v Speaker 2>did last night and unfortunately has a hairline fracture in

549
00:29:08.640 --> 00:29:11.599
<v Speaker 2>his left pitching hand. And here's what Dave Roberts had

550
00:29:11.640 --> 00:29:15.440
<v Speaker 2>to say after tonight's game about what took place with Bonda.

551
00:29:16.000 --> 00:29:20.720
<v Speaker 15>It's a hairline fracture. Fortunately, unfortunately it's just throwing hand

552
00:29:21.319 --> 00:29:25.440
<v Speaker 15>and I don't know, you know when he's going to return,

553
00:29:25.640 --> 00:29:29.000
<v Speaker 15>but obviously it's an eyel situation and it's going to

554
00:29:29.039 --> 00:29:32.359
<v Speaker 15>be a few days to I think it's a few

555
00:29:32.440 --> 00:29:34.960
<v Speaker 15>days without throwing and then hopefully we can build him

556
00:29:34.960 --> 00:29:38.160
<v Speaker 15>back and you know, the hope is to get him

557
00:29:38.200 --> 00:29:42.640
<v Speaker 15>back at some point in time this year. It was

558
00:29:42.799 --> 00:29:48.160
<v Speaker 15>a moment of weakness and frustration where he decided to

559
00:29:49.720 --> 00:29:53.759
<v Speaker 15>take on a solid object that ultimately won the battle.

560
00:29:53.920 --> 00:29:57.000
<v Speaker 15>So it was something that emotions kind of played into it,

561
00:29:58.160 --> 00:29:59.880
<v Speaker 15>you know, with the outing that he had last night,

562
00:30:00.079 --> 00:30:03.759
<v Speaker 15>and it's something I know he regrets, we all regret,

563
00:30:03.920 --> 00:30:05.519
<v Speaker 15>and he'll learn from it.

564
00:30:05.559 --> 00:30:08.519
<v Speaker 14>Happens it did it well.

565
00:30:10.119 --> 00:30:13.480
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, Yeah, I guess. We don't know what

566
00:30:14.440 --> 00:30:18.799
<v Speaker 2>the immovable force was. But Anthony Bonda unfortunately let his

567
00:30:18.839 --> 00:30:21.720
<v Speaker 2>emotions get the best of him. And he has been

568
00:30:21.720 --> 00:30:24.880
<v Speaker 2>a workhorse for the Dodgers, throwing forty seven and a

569
00:30:25.000 --> 00:30:29.160
<v Speaker 2>third innings in forty six appearances. So he certainly has

570
00:30:29.200 --> 00:30:31.920
<v Speaker 2>been valuable for the Dodgers and another one of those

571
00:30:32.000 --> 00:30:36.079
<v Speaker 2>pictures that was a cast off by another organization, and

572
00:30:36.240 --> 00:30:40.440
<v Speaker 2>Connor McGinnis, Mark Pryor and the rest of the Dodgers

573
00:30:40.480 --> 00:30:43.680
<v Speaker 2>really gave him second life on his career. So it's

574
00:30:43.759 --> 00:30:47.000
<v Speaker 2>unfortunate this happened last night, but it does show that

575
00:30:47.079 --> 00:30:49.559
<v Speaker 2>Bonda cares. But you got to find a way to

576
00:30:49.640 --> 00:30:53.480
<v Speaker 2>channel your frustration in a different way. So I like

577
00:30:53.519 --> 00:30:56.480
<v Speaker 2>Anthony a lot. He's a great guy and certainly has

578
00:30:56.559 --> 00:30:59.960
<v Speaker 2>overcome a lot in his life, and I really enjoy

579
00:31:00.160 --> 00:31:04.079
<v Speaker 2>talking to him, and unfortunately this happens, so hopefully he

580
00:31:04.119 --> 00:31:07.079
<v Speaker 2>gets back sooner rather than later. And when you hear

581
00:31:07.119 --> 00:31:10.279
<v Speaker 2>about a left handed relief pitcher for the Dodgers have

582
00:31:10.440 --> 00:31:15.279
<v Speaker 2>a unusual injury occur, I automatically think about the two

583
00:31:15.359 --> 00:31:19.480
<v Speaker 2>thousand and six Playoffs when Joe Bimel cut his hand

584
00:31:19.559 --> 00:31:22.799
<v Speaker 2>on a bar glass in New York before Game one

585
00:31:23.319 --> 00:31:27.079
<v Speaker 2>of that series in six. So that's what I think

586
00:31:27.119 --> 00:31:31.079
<v Speaker 2>about as the most unusual pitching injury to a Dodger

587
00:31:31.160 --> 00:31:34.599
<v Speaker 2>left handed reliever. Certainly this is not the playoffs, and

588
00:31:34.680 --> 00:31:39.599
<v Speaker 2>Banda was not doing anything outside of the field, but

589
00:31:39.799 --> 00:31:42.039
<v Speaker 2>that's what I think about when you talk about left

590
00:31:42.039 --> 00:31:46.079
<v Speaker 2>handed relievers for the Dodgers. Joe Bimel before Game one

591
00:31:46.160 --> 00:31:50.440
<v Speaker 2>of the six nlds in New York. The public first

592
00:31:50.480 --> 00:31:54.480
<v Speaker 2>story was that he cut his hand in the hotel

593
00:31:54.960 --> 00:31:58.720
<v Speaker 2>bathroom because he dropped a glass in the sink, and

594
00:31:58.759 --> 00:32:01.839
<v Speaker 2>then the story came out that he was somewhere else

595
00:32:02.200 --> 00:32:04.640
<v Speaker 2>and that's how he cut his left hand and was

596
00:32:04.680 --> 00:32:08.119
<v Speaker 2>not available. And that was one of his best seasons

597
00:32:08.119 --> 00:32:11.119
<v Speaker 2>for the Dodgers. And they missed him. Anyway, that's some

598
00:32:11.200 --> 00:32:15.279
<v Speaker 2>background on some wacky lefty reliever injuries. Let's head out

599
00:32:15.319 --> 00:32:16.319
<v Speaker 2>to Jose Mota.

600
00:32:17.200 --> 00:32:21.039
<v Speaker 1>It's time to go around the horn with Jose Mota.

601
00:32:21.680 --> 00:32:23.799
<v Speaker 2>All right, Jose Mota, I'm not going to make the

602
00:32:23.839 --> 00:32:27.559
<v Speaker 2>same mistake I criticized the LA media making earlier today.

603
00:32:27.599 --> 00:32:30.279
<v Speaker 2>So let's start with that eighth inning. Where did it

604
00:32:30.400 --> 00:32:33.680
<v Speaker 2>all fall apart? Was it the Barnes err was Muncie

605
00:32:33.960 --> 00:32:36.480
<v Speaker 2>at a place He said he thought Rojas was going

606
00:32:36.519 --> 00:32:39.200
<v Speaker 2>to cut the ball off from Edmund. Take us through

607
00:32:39.240 --> 00:32:42.640
<v Speaker 2>what you saw as far as the biggest faux pause of.

608
00:32:42.480 --> 00:32:46.920
<v Speaker 5>That eighth inning anticipation, that's number one. And it started

609
00:32:46.920 --> 00:32:49.039
<v Speaker 5>with a walk. That's where everything really started. Against a

610
00:32:49.079 --> 00:32:52.799
<v Speaker 5>team that is playing for something. Evan Phillips continued to

611
00:32:52.839 --> 00:32:55.400
<v Speaker 5>have a hard time getting out, you know, fighting it

612
00:32:55.440 --> 00:32:58.519
<v Speaker 5>to get out. But Austin Barnes knows well that you know,

613
00:32:58.519 --> 00:33:00.000
<v Speaker 5>on that top of situation, you got to take your

614
00:33:00.119 --> 00:33:01.680
<v Speaker 5>time to know that you're going to be throwing inside

615
00:33:01.680 --> 00:33:04.000
<v Speaker 5>the bag and you can take your time and actually

616
00:33:04.240 --> 00:33:06.920
<v Speaker 5>allow yourself to miss on the inside if you need to.

617
00:33:06.920 --> 00:33:09.400
<v Speaker 5>And the ball just got away from him. But you know, David.

618
00:33:09.440 --> 00:33:12.119
<v Speaker 5>We can break it down all we want. They just

619
00:33:12.160 --> 00:33:13.960
<v Speaker 5>didn't play good baseball. They didn't throw the ball well

620
00:33:14.000 --> 00:33:15.759
<v Speaker 5>they needed to throw it on the third base play,

621
00:33:15.839 --> 00:33:19.480
<v Speaker 5>and the throw what Meggie Rojas did was right because

622
00:33:19.519 --> 00:33:21.079
<v Speaker 5>you want to go out and throw that decoy at

623
00:33:21.119 --> 00:33:22.720
<v Speaker 5>the runner, I think you're going to cut it off,

624
00:33:22.720 --> 00:33:24.880
<v Speaker 5>so keep it at first base. But you have to

625
00:33:24.880 --> 00:33:26.359
<v Speaker 5>do The third basement is you got to follow the

626
00:33:26.359 --> 00:33:29.039
<v Speaker 5>flight of the ball and understand that no matter what

627
00:33:29.359 --> 00:33:32.119
<v Speaker 5>he does, your responsibility is to follow the flight of

628
00:33:32.119 --> 00:33:35.480
<v Speaker 5>the ball because if he doesn't cut off, you have

629
00:33:35.599 --> 00:33:37.559
<v Speaker 5>to be able to get to the baseball and then

630
00:33:37.599 --> 00:33:40.119
<v Speaker 5>stop the guy from taking the extra base and the

631
00:33:40.160 --> 00:33:43.400
<v Speaker 5>other guy from getting to seven base So bad combination.

632
00:33:43.599 --> 00:33:47.599
<v Speaker 5>I'll say this very lightly, and when things like this

633
00:33:47.759 --> 00:33:50.640
<v Speaker 5>do happen this close to the end of the season,

634
00:33:51.240 --> 00:33:54.920
<v Speaker 5>is not necessarily a bad thing. Is bad that they lost,

635
00:33:55.319 --> 00:33:58.119
<v Speaker 5>the game got away from them there. But these things

636
00:33:58.359 --> 00:34:01.119
<v Speaker 5>need to be addressed, and some times they're ignored a

637
00:34:01.240 --> 00:34:03.240
<v Speaker 5>not addressed unless you see something like this happen. I

638
00:34:03.240 --> 00:34:06.039
<v Speaker 5>hope you understand what I'm saying, so they know what

639
00:34:06.079 --> 00:34:07.640
<v Speaker 5>they need to do better. They need to clean it

640
00:34:07.759 --> 00:34:09.719
<v Speaker 5>up and certainly as Earl starts with going out there

641
00:34:09.760 --> 00:34:14.000
<v Speaker 5>and just not given the opposing team just opportunities to score, play, catch,

642
00:34:14.159 --> 00:34:17.480
<v Speaker 5>follow the ball. Annoyd excuses, follow the follow the path

643
00:34:17.519 --> 00:34:20.360
<v Speaker 5>of the baseball. Understand that throw to your right or

644
00:34:20.480 --> 00:34:22.880
<v Speaker 5>left five or six feet off, you have to track it,

645
00:34:22.920 --> 00:34:23.440
<v Speaker 5>no matter what.

646
00:34:24.400 --> 00:34:26.559
<v Speaker 2>I agree with you as well to a certain extent,

647
00:34:26.960 --> 00:34:29.800
<v Speaker 2>Evan Phillips having a hard time to get out three

648
00:34:29.880 --> 00:34:32.960
<v Speaker 2>errors made behind him doesn't help things. I'm not saying

649
00:34:32.960 --> 00:34:36.079
<v Speaker 2>that it wasn't on the defense, but part of the

650
00:34:36.119 --> 00:34:39.840
<v Speaker 2>reason why the Dodgers love swinging miss relievers are for

651
00:34:40.000 --> 00:34:43.400
<v Speaker 2>these type of innings where you take away the chance

652
00:34:43.480 --> 00:34:46.320
<v Speaker 2>of a fielding error behind you, and the only strikeout

653
00:34:46.320 --> 00:34:49.159
<v Speaker 2>that Phillips was able to get in that inning was

654
00:34:49.199 --> 00:34:53.000
<v Speaker 2>getting Isaac Parides looking for the first out. Where is

655
00:34:53.039 --> 00:34:54.760
<v Speaker 2>the swinging miss from Evan Phillips?

656
00:34:54.760 --> 00:34:58.880
<v Speaker 5>These days, we've been wondering where that pitch is? I mean,

657
00:34:59.079 --> 00:35:01.800
<v Speaker 5>where's that pitch? Where those pitches? You know, the fastball

658
00:35:01.840 --> 00:35:03.639
<v Speaker 5>command is the one thing that gets him where he

659
00:35:03.679 --> 00:35:06.079
<v Speaker 5>needs to be, and the pitch that he threw paraders

660
00:35:06.119 --> 00:35:08.400
<v Speaker 5>there inside. I think it was almost a mistake where

661
00:35:08.400 --> 00:35:10.440
<v Speaker 5>he did not want to be missing inside and a

662
00:35:10.440 --> 00:35:12.639
<v Speaker 5>guy who's been pulling the ball is hard throughout the

663
00:35:12.679 --> 00:35:16.199
<v Speaker 5>whole series, the first two games. David's a mystery to me.

664
00:35:16.480 --> 00:35:18.239
<v Speaker 5>I know that it's still in there. Is not a

665
00:35:18.280 --> 00:35:20.280
<v Speaker 5>lack of velocity, is not a lack of anything else.

666
00:35:20.880 --> 00:35:22.760
<v Speaker 5>I think the finish has not been there. Maybe the

667
00:35:22.800 --> 00:35:25.679
<v Speaker 5>extra life of ninety seven that is supposed to be

668
00:35:25.760 --> 00:35:27.800
<v Speaker 5>feeled to, you know, perception of ninety nine. It's not

669
00:35:27.840 --> 00:35:31.039
<v Speaker 5>there at all. But there's no doubt as as they

670
00:35:31.079 --> 00:35:34.079
<v Speaker 5>played against him. We also need to see a better

671
00:35:34.519 --> 00:35:37.039
<v Speaker 5>version of Phillips. And I'm not throwing this on him

672
00:35:37.360 --> 00:35:40.119
<v Speaker 5>that this is the conversation as to why the Cubs

673
00:35:40.360 --> 00:35:43.000
<v Speaker 5>were able to do the one thing teams are looking

674
00:35:43.039 --> 00:35:45.679
<v Speaker 5>to do in that situation, which has put the ball

675
00:35:45.760 --> 00:35:48.599
<v Speaker 5>in play and make them catch a baseball. It's great

676
00:35:48.639 --> 00:35:50.599
<v Speaker 5>to have sing the miss guys, but what are you

677
00:35:50.599 --> 00:35:52.119
<v Speaker 5>going to do when they don't have that? You got

678
00:35:52.159 --> 00:35:54.000
<v Speaker 5>to go out there and play better baseball behind them.

679
00:35:54.599 --> 00:35:57.480
<v Speaker 2>Jose Mota is joining us on Dodger Talk after the

680
00:35:57.559 --> 00:36:00.480
<v Speaker 2>Cubs use a five run eighth inning to beat the

681
00:36:00.519 --> 00:36:04.599
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers tonight six to three. The Dodgers' magic number remains

682
00:36:04.639 --> 00:36:08.880
<v Speaker 2>at thirteen with seventeen more games to go, and before

683
00:36:08.920 --> 00:36:12.199
<v Speaker 2>we go any further with Jose Mota right now, caller

684
00:36:12.480 --> 00:36:16.039
<v Speaker 2>thirteen at eight, six, six, nine, eighty seven, two five,

685
00:36:16.239 --> 00:36:19.519
<v Speaker 2>seventy will win a pair of tickets to tomorrow Night's

686
00:36:19.639 --> 00:36:24.800
<v Speaker 2>Max Monsey Bobblehead Night. Caller thirteen, that's Monsey's jersey number.

687
00:36:25.239 --> 00:36:27.920
<v Speaker 2>You will win a pair of tickets to tomorrow night's game,

688
00:36:28.000 --> 00:36:31.880
<v Speaker 2>Monthsey Bobblehead Night. All right, Jose, The best part in

689
00:36:31.920 --> 00:36:35.719
<v Speaker 2>the big picture of tonight's game was the start Yamamoto

690
00:36:35.840 --> 00:36:40.400
<v Speaker 2>gave them and showed them four innings, eight strikeouts through

691
00:36:40.480 --> 00:36:44.480
<v Speaker 2>fifty nine pitches. How does he build upon this? Because

692
00:36:44.519 --> 00:36:47.159
<v Speaker 2>tonight was great, but they need more of this. If

693
00:36:47.199 --> 00:36:49.840
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers want to get through October.

694
00:36:50.199 --> 00:36:54.079
<v Speaker 5>They beat need more of this. But for college Yamamota

695
00:36:54.119 --> 00:36:56.480
<v Speaker 5>today he was actually doing what he has been doing

696
00:36:56.559 --> 00:36:58.920
<v Speaker 5>he in his starry career, which is he believes in

697
00:36:58.960 --> 00:37:02.239
<v Speaker 5>the long toss in his mechanics are as solid and

698
00:37:02.280 --> 00:37:04.920
<v Speaker 5>as fluid and as consistent as he has been throughout

699
00:37:04.960 --> 00:37:07.679
<v Speaker 5>the season. The last of the Fastball Live on the

700
00:37:07.679 --> 00:37:10.880
<v Speaker 5>Fastball and the sequencing of pitching was pretty impressive considering

701
00:37:10.880 --> 00:37:13.559
<v Speaker 5>that first battle goes down on the curveball. Then he's

702
00:37:13.599 --> 00:37:17.599
<v Speaker 5>got a splinner. He throws fastballs located well when guys

703
00:37:17.599 --> 00:37:20.400
<v Speaker 5>are looking for something else soft, and then the splitter too,

704
00:37:20.400 --> 00:37:22.440
<v Speaker 5>which is something he learned a lot more from talking

705
00:37:22.440 --> 00:37:24.920
<v Speaker 5>to Kodai Singa. The Mets that church in New York

706
00:37:25.039 --> 00:37:27.320
<v Speaker 5>was about starting it in certain parts of the play

707
00:37:27.360 --> 00:37:29.920
<v Speaker 5>that are not so predictable to the riot of batters,

708
00:37:29.960 --> 00:37:32.800
<v Speaker 5>meaning in her third day or not swinging at that

709
00:37:32.920 --> 00:37:35.360
<v Speaker 5>earlier in the year, he started going on the outer

710
00:37:35.480 --> 00:37:37.159
<v Speaker 5>third and now was running to the middle of play.

711
00:37:37.239 --> 00:37:39.159
<v Speaker 5>It looks more like a striker. Sometimes it looks like

712
00:37:39.159 --> 00:37:40.880
<v Speaker 5>a slider. But he threw it pretty hard to do

713
00:37:41.000 --> 00:37:44.000
<v Speaker 5>his heart as ninety three. Very encouraging a night with

714
00:37:44.119 --> 00:37:47.199
<v Speaker 5>the dollars beat themselves. At least we know that there's

715
00:37:47.239 --> 00:37:49.800
<v Speaker 5>no concerns about this guy building up and being able

716
00:37:49.840 --> 00:37:52.719
<v Speaker 5>to carry this on to his next star, because certainly

717
00:37:52.920 --> 00:37:55.559
<v Speaker 5>the days were coming to an end. But to have

718
00:37:55.679 --> 00:37:57.840
<v Speaker 5>this foundation on the way he threw the ball today,

719
00:37:58.719 --> 00:37:59.639
<v Speaker 5>it's very encouraging.

720
00:38:00.159 --> 00:38:02.639
<v Speaker 2>It felt like he had the mound presence tonight that

721
00:38:02.719 --> 00:38:05.119
<v Speaker 2>we have not seen from him consistently.

722
00:38:06.480 --> 00:38:08.239
<v Speaker 5>You were right about that when I was coming in

723
00:38:08.639 --> 00:38:10.960
<v Speaker 5>and listening to the show. There's a time in which

724
00:38:10.960 --> 00:38:13.960
<v Speaker 5>you can sometimes since guys trying to get a feel

725
00:38:14.000 --> 00:38:15.679
<v Speaker 5>for who they are and if they belong or not.

726
00:38:15.800 --> 00:38:18.480
<v Speaker 5>And it doesn't matter what happened in Japan. He's won

727
00:38:18.559 --> 00:38:21.320
<v Speaker 5>three equivalents with the sad young over there he's watching him, says,

728
00:38:21.400 --> 00:38:24.800
<v Speaker 5>but yeah, that feel for I belong here. And Nmber

729
00:38:24.840 --> 00:38:26.880
<v Speaker 5>two that he had pitched very well against the Cubs

730
00:38:26.960 --> 00:38:28.800
<v Speaker 5>and today he was a little bit different. He was

731
00:38:28.840 --> 00:38:31.159
<v Speaker 5>not as curveball heavy as he was back in April,

732
00:38:31.760 --> 00:38:34.559
<v Speaker 5>but he certainly did. They have that presence of the

733
00:38:34.639 --> 00:38:36.840
<v Speaker 5>matter and the great pace. And one thing I'm going

734
00:38:36.880 --> 00:38:39.000
<v Speaker 5>to encourage fans and for you to look at watch

735
00:38:39.079 --> 00:38:43.320
<v Speaker 5>him warm up between innings and you know and understand

736
00:38:43.400 --> 00:38:46.079
<v Speaker 5>why he is so good and what he does in

737
00:38:46.119 --> 00:38:48.920
<v Speaker 5>spoting the baseball. But there's a power pitcher who throws

738
00:38:49.039 --> 00:38:51.400
<v Speaker 5>strikes and a lot of quality strikes and all stars

739
00:38:51.400 --> 00:38:54.280
<v Speaker 5>by the way he does obviously between stars, but watching

740
00:38:54.360 --> 00:38:58.079
<v Speaker 5>between innings, every single pitch he throws has a purpose

741
00:38:58.119 --> 00:39:00.280
<v Speaker 5>behind it, and that's what he's able to repeat that

742
00:39:00.400 --> 00:39:02.760
<v Speaker 5>during the game because in the same scenario, just with

743
00:39:02.880 --> 00:39:04.280
<v Speaker 5>the hit him in the batter's box.

744
00:39:04.800 --> 00:39:08.480
<v Speaker 2>All right, Jose. I was sitting about three rows behind

745
00:39:08.519 --> 00:39:11.159
<v Speaker 2>the home plate tonight in that first inning to watch

746
00:39:11.239 --> 00:39:16.320
<v Speaker 2>Yamamoto with our old friend Doug Crecoryan. Yes, Doug Grecoryan

747
00:39:16.400 --> 00:39:17.880
<v Speaker 2>is still alive, Jose Mota.

748
00:39:18.719 --> 00:39:19.400
<v Speaker 1>I gave him a.

00:39:24.559 --> 00:39:27.719
<v Speaker 5>About the legend Bessey, the big old days with the

00:39:28.000 --> 00:39:30.840
<v Speaker 5>big mac. Oh my god, those are great memories, are you?

753
00:39:30.920 --> 00:39:33.320
<v Speaker 2>Are you surprised that Doug has made it this long

754
00:39:33.360 --> 00:39:33.840
<v Speaker 2>in life?

755
00:39:35.079 --> 00:39:36.880
<v Speaker 5>No, because he's always had you in the wing man

756
00:39:36.920 --> 00:39:41.039
<v Speaker 5>so uck. He's got you to polk him every single

757
00:39:41.159 --> 00:39:43.360
<v Speaker 5>time to say, hey, I'm still here. But he's not

758
00:39:43.360 --> 00:39:45.519
<v Speaker 5>going anywhere. But it's great to see him part of

759
00:39:45.679 --> 00:39:48.400
<v Speaker 5>pretty much LA history right there along with you.

760

<v Speaker 2>No doubt. Jose, thanks a lot for checking in. We'll

<v Speaker 5>Hey, you know what, you got to clean it up

765
00:39:59.840 --> 00:40:01.880
<v Speaker 5>and move on. As Mike Socialist say, fill the paint

766
00:40:02.119 --> 00:40:03.079
<v Speaker 5>and get to the next one.

767
00:40:03.159 --> 00:40:04.000
<v Speaker 16>Turn that page.

<v Speaker 2>and five to seventy LA Sports.

787
00:41:12.119 --> 00:41:13.719
<v Speaker 12>All right, well, thanks again.

788
00:41:14.199 --> 00:41:16.800
<v Speaker 2>Have fun. We'll talk to you tomorrow. Eight six six

789
00:41:16.920 --> 00:41:19.960
<v Speaker 2>nine eight seven two five seventy is the phone number.

790
00:41:20.119 --> 00:41:23.599
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers fall to the Cubs tonight six to three. I

791
00:41:23.639 --> 00:41:27.039
<v Speaker 2>had a chance to catch op with Taoscar Hernandez as

792
00:41:27.079 --> 00:41:31.039
<v Speaker 2>he was coming out for batting practice earlier today, the

793
00:41:31.079 --> 00:41:34.639
<v Speaker 2>first time he's taken swings outside, and he told me, yes,

794
00:41:35.159 --> 00:41:37.639
<v Speaker 2>he will be back in the lineup tomorrow. So ti

795
00:41:37.679 --> 00:41:40.760
<v Speaker 2>Oscar Hernandez, who is hit by a pitch in the

796
00:41:40.760 --> 00:41:44.159
<v Speaker 2>first game of this homestand will return to the Dodgers

797
00:41:44.159 --> 00:41:49.039
<v Speaker 2>starting lineup tomorrow night. So that's great news for the Dodgers. Also,

798
00:41:49.320 --> 00:41:52.599
<v Speaker 2>I had a chance to head out to the Dodger

799
00:41:52.639 --> 00:41:56.639
<v Speaker 2>bullpen before the game. That's where show Hey Otani was headed.

800
00:41:56.920 --> 00:42:02.119
<v Speaker 2>Otani was throwing another bullpen session today. Otani threw his

801
00:42:02.280 --> 00:42:07.199
<v Speaker 2>fifth bullpen session in his recovery from his second elbow surgery.

802
00:42:07.599 --> 00:42:11.639
<v Speaker 2>Today's bullpen session was twenty pitches, and that was the

803
00:42:11.679 --> 00:42:15.079
<v Speaker 2>first time I made the effort to go down there

804
00:42:15.159 --> 00:42:18.280
<v Speaker 2>to watch him throw. I was amongst the people out

805
00:42:18.320 --> 00:42:22.239
<v Speaker 2>there watching Otani's bullpen session. He gets a bigger crowd

806
00:42:22.320 --> 00:42:25.079
<v Speaker 2>for his bullpen sessions than most guys get for their

807
00:42:25.119 --> 00:42:28.760
<v Speaker 2>starts across the country. It was really a sight to

808
00:42:28.800 --> 00:42:32.440
<v Speaker 2>behold if you're ever here. Early enough and Otani is

809
00:42:32.480 --> 00:42:36.599
<v Speaker 2>throwing a bullpen session. I strongly recommend you just taking

810
00:42:36.639 --> 00:42:39.639
<v Speaker 2>it all in because he really is one of the

811
00:42:39.639 --> 00:42:43.880
<v Speaker 2>top ten all time great players, and he's leading off

812
00:42:43.920 --> 00:42:47.119
<v Speaker 2>tonight and he is still coming back from elbow surgery

813
00:42:47.199 --> 00:42:50.840
<v Speaker 2>with the intention to pitch next year. So that was

814
00:42:50.880 --> 00:42:53.199
<v Speaker 2>pretty cool to see. And I took some video that

815
00:42:53.280 --> 00:42:56.480
<v Speaker 2>you can see on my Instagram page at officially vasse

816
00:42:56.880 --> 00:43:00.440
<v Speaker 2>and on x at the Real Underscore dv at twenty

817
00:43:00.519 --> 00:43:05.199
<v Speaker 2>pitch bullpen session for Otani. It was the fifth bullpen

818
00:43:05.360 --> 00:43:09.039
<v Speaker 2>session he has thrown in his recovery. Let's go back

819
00:43:09.039 --> 00:43:12.639
<v Speaker 2>out to the phones, Bob in Malibu. Thanks for being patient, Bob.

820
00:43:12.679 --> 00:43:15.519
<v Speaker 5>You're on Dodger Talk, David vasse Man.

821
00:43:15.599 --> 00:43:17.559
<v Speaker 16>Always great to be on here with you, and now

822
00:43:17.599 --> 00:43:19.760
<v Speaker 16>I'm even a bigger fan here is knowing that your

823
00:43:19.800 --> 00:43:22.800
<v Speaker 16>inspiration and mentor is a fellow Armenian.

824
00:43:23.679 --> 00:43:28.079
<v Speaker 2>That's right, Doug Gregorian. Him and Joe McDonald were quite

825
00:43:28.079 --> 00:43:31.360
<v Speaker 2>a combo back in the day on LA Sports Talk Radio.

826
00:43:32.280 --> 00:43:35.920
<v Speaker 16>Love it always in favor of Team Armenia. Here, Michael

827
00:43:36.039 --> 00:43:38.880
<v Speaker 16>tonight is nothing more than just look. It took a

828
00:43:38.960 --> 00:43:41.960
<v Speaker 16>Chicago fan and Pat earlier to tell us Dodger fans,

829
00:43:42.239 --> 00:43:45.559
<v Speaker 16>remain positive, stay in the light. We're getting to watch

830
00:43:45.920 --> 00:43:48.079
<v Speaker 16>one of the greatest players in the history of the

831
00:43:48.159 --> 00:43:51.239
<v Speaker 16>game playing in our home stadium maybe plus games a year.

832
00:43:51.639 --> 00:43:54.199
<v Speaker 16>Let's not take this for granted. We've got a great

833
00:43:54.239 --> 00:43:57.239
<v Speaker 16>team here. Always going to stay positive about this team

834
00:43:57.280 --> 00:43:59.760
<v Speaker 16>in Blee Blue, knowing that going forward we're going to

835
00:43:59.800 --> 00:44:01.880
<v Speaker 16>do things. I just want to put the challenge out

836
00:44:01.880 --> 00:44:05.000
<v Speaker 16>there to every other Dodger fan that goes to these games.

837
00:44:05.159 --> 00:44:07.639
<v Speaker 16>When we see players that are struggling in our lineup

838
00:44:07.760 --> 00:44:09.960
<v Speaker 16>are on our mound, it's time to stand up and

839
00:44:10.000 --> 00:44:12.679
<v Speaker 16>give these players an ovation. It's time to let these

840
00:44:12.719 --> 00:44:17.320
<v Speaker 16>players know how much we appreciate them as Dodger fans.

841
00:44:17.360 --> 00:44:19.599
<v Speaker 16>That's what I'm putting out there tonight, David Basse, Do

842
00:44:19.679 --> 00:44:20.320
<v Speaker 16>you agree with me?

843
00:44:20.840 --> 00:44:21.000
<v Speaker 9>Oh?

844
00:44:21.039 --> 00:44:24.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, And I've seen it before, especially in postseason games,

845
00:44:24.039 --> 00:44:27.679
<v Speaker 2>where this crowd sellout crowd will pick up this team

846
00:44:27.800 --> 00:44:30.599
<v Speaker 2>and give them the energy they need in big moments.

847
00:44:30.599 --> 00:44:33.440
<v Speaker 2>So I'm looking forward to that in October. Thanks for

848
00:44:33.480 --> 00:44:36.400
<v Speaker 2>the phone call, Bob, appreciate it. Let's take one more

849
00:44:36.480 --> 00:44:40.280
<v Speaker 2>phone call before we wrap things up. Lewis or Louise

850
00:44:40.400 --> 00:44:44.039
<v Speaker 2>in La You're on Dodger talk. How you doing, Luis?

851
00:44:44.199 --> 00:44:48.119
<v Speaker 16>I mean, David, I'm good, just a little disappointed with

852
00:44:48.159 --> 00:44:49.000
<v Speaker 16>what today's lost.

853
00:44:49.039 --> 00:44:52.159
<v Speaker 2>I can tell you're bumped out over that.

854
00:44:53.920 --> 00:44:57.199
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, but why do they put Kik at second base?

855
00:44:58.599 --> 00:45:00.119
<v Speaker 16>Like s?

856
00:45:00.119 --> 00:45:02.559
<v Speaker 10>So don't you think they put Chris Taylor instead?

857
00:45:03.840 --> 00:45:06.480
<v Speaker 2>Key K came in, he was in the game, They

858
00:45:06.519 --> 00:45:09.719
<v Speaker 2>moved some guys around, and that's where he was at

859
00:45:09.760 --> 00:45:11.960
<v Speaker 2>in the eighth inning. And key K, you know, he

860
00:45:12.039 --> 00:45:15.280
<v Speaker 2>hasn't played a lot of second base, but he's a

861
00:45:15.320 --> 00:45:18.239
<v Speaker 2>really good defensive player no matter where you put him.

862
00:45:18.519 --> 00:45:21.199
<v Speaker 2>He was starting at second base tonight. So I had

863
00:45:21.239 --> 00:45:23.840
<v Speaker 2>no issues with Kei k being there at the end

864
00:45:23.880 --> 00:45:27.039
<v Speaker 2>of the game. He was trying to do too much.

865
00:45:27.679 --> 00:45:30.039
<v Speaker 2>He was just trying to do too much, Luis, That's

866
00:45:30.079 --> 00:45:32.599
<v Speaker 2>all it was. And it was unfortunate the way it

867
00:45:32.639 --> 00:45:37.079
<v Speaker 2>went down. But I don't I don't foresee that type

868
00:45:37.119 --> 00:45:40.000
<v Speaker 2>of inning happening again the rest of the year. How

869
00:45:40.000 --> 00:45:40.400
<v Speaker 2>about that?

870
00:45:41.079 --> 00:45:43.840
<v Speaker 10>Well, cross our fingers and I hope you have a

871
00:45:43.880 --> 00:45:44.280
<v Speaker 10>good night.

872
00:45:44.760 --> 00:45:46.840
<v Speaker 2>All right, thanks for the phone call. Look, the Dodger

873
00:45:46.920 --> 00:45:50.760
<v Speaker 2>defense has been really good ever since they acquired Tommy

874
00:45:50.880 --> 00:45:54.039
<v Speaker 2>Edmond and put him at center and shortstop and you

875
00:45:54.119 --> 00:45:57.960
<v Speaker 2>got Mookie Bets in right field, Gavin Lux has been

876
00:45:58.000 --> 00:46:01.280
<v Speaker 2>playing really good defense at second Keik has been great

877
00:46:01.320 --> 00:46:04.119
<v Speaker 2>at third base or wherever you put him. So it

878
00:46:04.239 --> 00:46:07.239
<v Speaker 2>was just one of those unfortunate nights. Honestly, at that

879
00:46:07.360 --> 00:46:10.480
<v Speaker 2>point in time, that was just the icing on the cake.

880
00:46:10.559 --> 00:46:13.440
<v Speaker 2>The inning turned with the walk to Hap to start

881
00:46:13.480 --> 00:46:16.559
<v Speaker 2>the inning by Vesia and then the throwing error by

882
00:46:16.639 --> 00:46:21.199
<v Speaker 2>Austin Barnes and Max Munsey not anticipating where that ball

883
00:46:21.320 --> 00:46:24.079
<v Speaker 2>was going on the base hit by Saya Suzuki and

884
00:46:24.159 --> 00:46:27.360
<v Speaker 2>the throw by Tommy Edmunds. So that's where it kind

885
00:46:27.360 --> 00:46:31.199
<v Speaker 2>of turned. Speaking of defense, Peter crow Armstrong for the

886
00:46:31.239 --> 00:46:34.480
<v Speaker 2>Cubs outstanding tonight and he's got a pretty good right

887
00:46:34.480 --> 00:46:37.639
<v Speaker 2>fielder next to him. And Cody Bellinger who has won

888
00:46:37.679 --> 00:46:40.639
<v Speaker 2>a Gold Glove with the Dodgers in center field. And

889
00:46:40.760 --> 00:46:43.840
<v Speaker 2>earlier today on the pregame show, we had a chance

890
00:46:43.960 --> 00:46:47.760
<v Speaker 2>to catch up with Cody Bellinger not only on the

891
00:46:47.800 --> 00:46:51.000
<v Speaker 2>pregame show but also on our AM five to seventy

892
00:46:51.280 --> 00:46:55.679
<v Speaker 2>LA Sports Instagram Live series presented by Navvy and High

893
00:46:55.719 --> 00:46:59.320
<v Speaker 2>Efficiency Tankless water Heaters. And here's what Cody had to

894
00:46:59.360 --> 00:47:02.360
<v Speaker 2>say about the bond he still has with a lot

895
00:47:02.400 --> 00:47:06.199
<v Speaker 2>of his Swarmer Dodger teammates. Can you describe the brotherhood

896
00:47:06.360 --> 00:47:09.199
<v Speaker 2>you have with those group of players because you went

897
00:47:09.280 --> 00:47:11.840
<v Speaker 2>through so much together at such a young age.

898
00:47:12.400 --> 00:47:15.599
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, man, absolutely, I think you know, we had such

899
00:47:15.639 --> 00:47:19.400
<v Speaker 7>a really cool core group, unique core group. I mean

900
00:47:19.440 --> 00:47:22.039
<v Speaker 7>we were, I mean still so close, and you know

901
00:47:22.079 --> 00:47:25.880
<v Speaker 7>our wives are so close and you know, been blessed

902
00:47:25.880 --> 00:47:27.440
<v Speaker 7>to kind of go on some trips with them.

903
00:47:27.480 --> 00:47:28.039
<v Speaker 11>We all got.

904
00:47:28.000 --> 00:47:30.960
<v Speaker 7>Kids now, and it's pretty pretty wild man, the ride

905
00:47:31.000 --> 00:47:33.559
<v Speaker 7>we went on, and you know, we're all staying in touch.

906
00:47:34.199 --> 00:47:36.320
<v Speaker 2>You know, I loved seeing Corey Seeger when he came

907
00:47:36.400 --> 00:47:38.400
<v Speaker 2>out here, and he did admit to me. He doesn't

908
00:47:38.400 --> 00:47:40.920
<v Speaker 2>admit too many things, but he did admit it was

909
00:47:41.000 --> 00:47:44.039
<v Speaker 2>sweet beating the Astros last year. How much do you

910
00:47:44.119 --> 00:47:46.559
<v Speaker 2>keep in touch with Corey Seeger because we all still

911
00:47:46.599 --> 00:47:48.800
<v Speaker 2>have the back to back Rookies of the Year t

912
00:47:48.920 --> 00:47:50.079
<v Speaker 2>shirt they gave away here.

913
00:47:50.480 --> 00:47:50.679
<v Speaker 8>Yeah.

914
00:47:50.840 --> 00:47:53.800
<v Speaker 7>No, me and Sieger really close. You know what an

915
00:47:53.880 --> 00:47:58.599
<v Speaker 7>unbelievable player and another great postseason. And you know, I

916
00:47:58.599 --> 00:48:01.039
<v Speaker 7>think when the light shine the brightest, you know, he

917
00:48:01.159 --> 00:48:03.519
<v Speaker 7>really brings out the best version of himself. And he's

918
00:48:03.519 --> 00:48:08.039
<v Speaker 7>done it a few times. And you know, just was

919
00:48:08.199 --> 00:48:11.320
<v Speaker 7>you know, a great teammate, and yeah, we still one

920
00:48:11.320 --> 00:48:13.119
<v Speaker 7>of the guys. We still you know, keep in touch

921
00:48:13.159 --> 00:48:15.519
<v Speaker 7>and was a part of that core group for sure.

922
00:48:16.199 --> 00:48:18.920
<v Speaker 2>All right, Well, there was Cody Bellinger who was a

923
00:48:18.960 --> 00:48:22.960
<v Speaker 2>big part of the core group from twenty seventeen until

924
00:48:23.000 --> 00:48:25.840
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty two. He came up with so many big hits,

925
00:48:26.280 --> 00:48:30.039
<v Speaker 2>twenty seventeen National League Rookie of the Year, twenty eighteen

926
00:48:30.280 --> 00:48:36.119
<v Speaker 2>NLCS MVP, the twenty nineteen National League MVP, Silver Sluggers

927
00:48:36.159 --> 00:48:40.239
<v Speaker 2>Gold Gloves, coming up big in that NLDS series Game

928
00:48:40.320 --> 00:48:43.920
<v Speaker 2>five against the Giants. It goes on and on, and

929
00:48:44.119 --> 00:48:48.480
<v Speaker 2>a lot of times sometimes you become a better player

930
00:48:48.840 --> 00:48:51.199
<v Speaker 2>when you do get traded or you do sign with

931
00:48:51.280 --> 00:48:54.440
<v Speaker 2>a different team. And I feel like Cody Bellinger and

932
00:48:54.519 --> 00:48:57.840
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers were at a crossroads when they made that decision,

933
00:48:58.320 --> 00:49:01.559
<v Speaker 2>and I feel like Cody bell has been better for it.

934
00:49:01.760 --> 00:49:04.320
<v Speaker 2>Sometimes you need a change of scenery, not only coming

935
00:49:04.360 --> 00:49:07.840
<v Speaker 2>to the Dodgers, but a lot of times you kind

936
00:49:07.840 --> 00:49:09.960
<v Speaker 2>of need a wake up call in your career in

937
00:49:10.000 --> 00:49:12.440
<v Speaker 2>different ways as well. And I feel like just talking

938
00:49:12.440 --> 00:49:15.639
<v Speaker 2>to Cody the few times that we have seen him

939
00:49:15.679 --> 00:49:18.760
<v Speaker 2>this year about going back to Wrigley in April. There

940
00:49:18.840 --> 00:49:22.880
<v Speaker 2>is really a greater sense of maturity about Cody, and

941
00:49:22.960 --> 00:49:25.920
<v Speaker 2>he even admitted that in our conversation today that he

942
00:49:26.039 --> 00:49:29.320
<v Speaker 2>just knows who he is as a hitter a lot

943
00:49:29.360 --> 00:49:33.440
<v Speaker 2>better than he did even before last season started. And

944
00:49:33.480 --> 00:49:35.760
<v Speaker 2>I think we all take for granted how young Cody

945
00:49:36.039 --> 00:49:38.519
<v Speaker 2>was when he came up with the Dodgers and made

946
00:49:38.519 --> 00:49:42.440
<v Speaker 2>a huge impact from his rookie season on. He's only

947
00:49:42.440 --> 00:49:45.440
<v Speaker 2>twenty nine years old. Can you believe that Cody Bellinger,

948
00:49:45.760 --> 00:49:49.400
<v Speaker 2>who made his major league debut in twenty seventeen, is

949
00:49:49.559 --> 00:49:52.239
<v Speaker 2>only twenty nine years old and he can kN opt

950
00:49:52.239 --> 00:49:54.119
<v Speaker 2>out of his contract at the end of the year,

951
00:49:54.239 --> 00:49:58.280
<v Speaker 2>So he's a far ways from being done as a player.

952
00:49:58.360 --> 00:50:02.519
<v Speaker 2>He's just entering his prime. And today or this season,

953
00:50:02.599 --> 00:50:04.719
<v Speaker 2>he's had to deal with a couple of big injuries.

954
00:50:05.079 --> 00:50:07.559
<v Speaker 2>He broke a rib running into the brick wall at

955
00:50:07.559 --> 00:50:10.360
<v Speaker 2>Wrigley Field. He got hit by a pitch and broke

956
00:50:10.400 --> 00:50:13.239
<v Speaker 2>his finger as well, So he's kept his head above

957
00:50:13.280 --> 00:50:16.599
<v Speaker 2>water coming into the game tonight hitting two sixty five

958
00:50:16.639 --> 00:50:20.719
<v Speaker 2>with sixteen home runs and sixty three RBIs playing right field,

959
00:50:20.760 --> 00:50:24.800
<v Speaker 2>playing center field, playing first base, He's showing that versatility

960
00:50:24.920 --> 00:50:27.960
<v Speaker 2>that we saw at a very early age when he

961
00:50:28.000 --> 00:50:31.559
<v Speaker 2>got called up by the Dodgers in twenty seventeen. You

962
00:50:31.599 --> 00:50:34.519
<v Speaker 2>can hear that full interview on the iHeartRadio app and

963
00:50:34.559 --> 00:50:37.119
<v Speaker 2>if you want to see Cody and his hair, you

964
00:50:37.199 --> 00:50:39.480
<v Speaker 2>can see it on the Am five to seventy LA

968
00:50:50.159 --> 00:50:53.360
<v Speaker 2>Bobby Miller on the mound facing the Cubs for the

969
00:50:53.400 --> 00:50:56.519
<v Speaker 2>second time this season. It did not go that well

970
00:50:56.599 --> 00:50:59.840
<v Speaker 2>at Wrigley Field in April, so Bobby is looking to

971
00:51:00.719 --> 00:51:04.320
<v Speaker 2>bounce back, not only from that matchup against the Cubs,

972
00:51:04.320 --> 00:51:07.239
<v Speaker 2>but obviously trying to bounce back from his last start

973
00:51:07.280 --> 00:51:09.679
<v Speaker 2>and get his season on track. There is still time

974
00:51:10.039 --> 00:51:12.760
<v Speaker 2>for Bobby Miller, two and four with an ERA of

975
00:51:12.800 --> 00:51:16.400
<v Speaker 2>seven seventy nine, going up against Jordan Wicks, who is

976
00:51:16.440 --> 00:51:19.039
<v Speaker 2>two and three with an ERA of four zero three.

977
00:51:19.480 --> 00:51:23.239
<v Speaker 2>Morongo Casino Dodgers on Deck begins at six o'clock tomorrow
