Speaker 1: One thing about this gene is the invisible and tangibles
Speaker 1: that they have.
Speaker 2: This team is really becoming a family. Let's not play
Speaker 2: one on Tom.
Speaker 1: Let's wind it. I love writing these guys after the show.
Speaker 3: So just thank you, give me are your attention, your
Speaker 3: fire and not a pisson.
Speaker 4: This is world champion, Dodgers, world champion.
Speaker 5: Put a small soft time they get a people what
Speaker 5: they want to die too in a row two is special.
Speaker 4: I'm like, yeah, it's not a headache one of the
Speaker 4: cop This ball's gone.
Speaker 5: You ready to go? Sure? Hell old time, go to
Speaker 5: the sound.
Speaker 4: Grab your phone to get in on the show called
Speaker 4: eight six six nine eighty seven two five seven and
Speaker 4: go to the show. And now your host of Dodger Talk,
Speaker 4: David Vasse.
Speaker 6: We are live at Chase Field after the Dodgers scores
Speaker 6: six runs in the ninth inning to come from behind
Speaker 6: and defeat the Diamondbacks fourteen to eleven. David Vassey live
Speaker 6: at Chase Field as a BANDA concert is happening as
Speaker 6: we speak, so we'll see how long that goes, whether
Speaker 6: or not we're here longer than the concert, but we're
Speaker 6: with you until eleven thirty on a night where the
Speaker 6: Dodgers could have gone back to their hotel not feeling
Speaker 6: great about the way things would have gone tonight if
Speaker 6: they lost. Instead, they're going back elated. After the Dodger
Speaker 6: offense scores fourteen runs, including six runs in the ninth inning,
Speaker 6: to come from behind and beat the Arizona Diamondbacks fourteen
Speaker 6: to eleven. We'll hear from Shoho Tani and Keke Hernandez
Speaker 6: again in a moment, and we do have phone lines
Speaker 6: open at eight six, six, nine, eighty seven, two, five seventy.
Speaker 6: But that Dodger offense in the ninth inning is the
Speaker 6: epitome of the identity of the Dodger offense when it's
Speaker 6: going well. Look, I mentioned this last night and it
Speaker 6: remains true tonight. The Diamondbacks bullpen is the Achilles heel
Speaker 6: of this team. So if you thought the Dodgers were
Speaker 6: done after eight innings tonight, you did not do your
Speaker 6: homework on this Diamondbacks bullpen. And Freddie Freeman was leading
Speaker 6: off the inning. And Freddie Freeman is one of the
Speaker 6: best hitters in baseball in his generation, and right now
Speaker 6: he's swinging a hot bat tonight.
Speaker 5: Freddy was two for fourward two runs, scored and he
Speaker 5: drove in a run.
Speaker 6: He got on base with an opposite field base hit.
Speaker 6: He understood he just needed to get on base and
Speaker 6: pass that baton. That's what the Dodgers did in that
Speaker 6: ninth inning, Freeman got on Pa has doubled him home
Speaker 6: from first base.
Speaker 5: I was wondering when Dave Roberts.
Speaker 6: Was going to use his speed weapon in Hay Song Kim.
Speaker 5: Was it going to be for Freeman? No, because that
Speaker 5: run was just one.
Speaker 6: He used it when it mattered the most, when Muncy
Speaker 6: tied the game in the ninth inning, and you know,
Speaker 6: obviously show hey O, Tommy did not need Kim to
Speaker 6: speed home because he took care of the rest.
Speaker 5: So I just thought that that was great offense.
Speaker 6: Now, as far as the other parts of this game,
Speaker 6: concerning Anthony Bonda, who has been thrust into a role
Speaker 6: that maybe he's not up for after being a guy
Speaker 6: that the Dodgers claimed off waivers and was pitching on
Speaker 6: another level that he has never pitched on in his
Speaker 6: entire major league career, pitched more than he ever had
Speaker 6: in his major league career, gives up his second Grand
Speaker 6: Slam this season. It was a game tying Grand Slam
Speaker 6: and Roki Sazaki. Look, he pitches once a week. If
Speaker 6: you're gonna pitch once a week, you've got to give
Speaker 6: your team more than that, and more than what he
Speaker 6: has given the Dodgers so far. And I'm interested to
Speaker 6: see where the Dodgers go with Roki Sazaki because if
Speaker 6: his name was not Roki Sazaki, he probably would be
Speaker 6: getting more seasoning in the minor league. So, considering the
Speaker 6: Dodgers have three of their main starters on the IL,
Speaker 6: they kind of need Sazaki right now. But once Snell
Speaker 6: and Kershaw and maybe Glass now get back, if Sazaki
Speaker 6: is still putting the Dodgers' bullpen in a vulnerable.
Speaker 5: Position, they may have to make a decision there.
Speaker 6: Eight sixty six nine eight seven two five seventy is
Speaker 6: the phone number.
Speaker 5: Let's hear from the Hero Tonight show.
Speaker 6: Hey Otani who had a double and the go ahead
Speaker 6: three run home run or two doubles tonight and the
Speaker 6: go ahead three run home run in the ninth inning.
Speaker 6: He was with Kirsten Watson on Sports and at LA
Speaker 6: so Hey.
Speaker 7: The series has been insane, This game was insane. Is
Speaker 7: this what you come to expects with this divisional matchup?
Speaker 8: So take you guy this.
Speaker 5: I get them all chilling, all on my up.
Speaker 9: And everybody's OK, let me not get on missing tonight
Speaker 9: must like that's it. I'll put him on.
Speaker 8: It's not the kind of game we always play. But
Speaker 8: you know, everybody really stayed behind, stayed as a team, grinded,
Speaker 8: and I know I contributed tonight, but it was really
Speaker 8: the process of getting there that matter.
Speaker 7: Claire, You guys refused to lose this one. When you
Speaker 7: look at that ninth inning, how much fight did it
Speaker 7: show that the team.
Speaker 5: Has cute guy? Oh forret you guys they meet this.
Speaker 2: Side.
Speaker 9: I'm thinking with a n.
Speaker 8: I shook that just really great inning is something that
Speaker 8: I think we want to be able.
Speaker 7: To show to all the teams that were capable of
Speaker 7: doing last night. You took Kevin kingkle deep. What were
Speaker 7: you looking for from Thompson to be able to get
Speaker 7: that same result? And you can see the emotions is
Speaker 7: how good did it? They'll to come through for your
Speaker 7: team to I'm not the not doing too much.
Speaker 5: Anymore. You mussel so so.
Speaker 8: Unique delivery, unique movement with his pitches.
Speaker 5: So all I wanted to do was put the ball
Speaker 5: in play.
Speaker 7: We saw the emotions out you did just that. Congratulations
Speaker 7: on this win.
Speaker 6: Show all right there, show hey O Tani with Kirsten
Speaker 6: Watson on sports Net l A and Jose Mota showed
Speaker 6: me a photo of uh the way O Tani was
Speaker 6: not connected to the ground earlier in the game, and
Speaker 6: then when he hit that home run off of Ryan
Speaker 6: Thompson front foot, planeted he had balance and he had
Speaker 6: posture as he launched a four hundred and twenty six
Speaker 6: foot home run to right field. And you usually don't
Speaker 6: see that type of emotion, if ever, from Otani, no
Speaker 6: matter what the circumstances are. But he had a huge
Speaker 6: batflip and certainly showed a lot of emotion as the
Speaker 6: Dodgers completed the come from behind win fourteen to eleven.
Speaker 6: Here in Arizona eight six six eight seven two five
Speaker 6: seventy is the phone number. Let's go out to Valencia, OZ.
Speaker 6: You're on Dodger Talk Live from Arizona, Hi, Oz.
Speaker 2: What's on on? Dave?
Speaker 9: How are you.
Speaker 5: Very fast to move here?
Speaker 2: Oz?
Speaker 5: You better match that at level of energy.
Speaker 10: No.
Speaker 2: I just wanted to say two things really quickly, with
Speaker 2: the resiliency.
Speaker 10: Of this team and for people to not give up
Speaker 10: on Max Monty and.
Speaker 7: Michael Conforto so soon.
Speaker 2: I know Michael Conforto didn't necessarily get a hit, but
Speaker 2: he found a way to get on base, and Max
Speaker 2: months he was able to come through with that single.
Speaker 5: Yeah, no doubt.
Speaker 6: And how about earlier in the game, Chris Taylor heads
Speaker 6: up play in that five run third inning, laying down
Speaker 6: a bunt.
Speaker 5: He knows he's struggling, but he wanted to get on
Speaker 5: base for Otani. Move that line. Thanks for the phone call, Oz, Yeah,
Speaker 5: I thought Taylor.
Speaker 6: Who got the starting left field, understood where he's at
Speaker 6: right now, understood where he was hitting in the lineup,
Speaker 6: hitting ninth, understanding you want to flip that lineup over
Speaker 6: to get Otani up. O'tani two doubles tonight and the Dodgers,
Speaker 6: by the way, just we're all over at Wardo Rodriguez
Speaker 6: early in this game, at Wardo Rodriguez, if you remember
Speaker 6: a couple of years ago, refused a trade to the
Speaker 6: Dodgers when he was with the Tigers. Well, the Dodgers
Speaker 6: made him pay tonight. They slammed him with nine hits tonight.
Speaker 6: Eight earned runs were charged and only two and two
Speaker 6: thirds innings for the Arizona left hander who signed a
Speaker 6: four year, eighty million dollar contract here in the Desert.
Speaker 5: Let's go out to Whittier. Chris, you're on Dodger Talk
Speaker 5: Live from Chase Field.
Speaker 11: Hi, Chris, Hey, Dave, Hey, what an awesome win. Hey,
Speaker 11: we were watching the game, me and my fifteen year
Speaker 11: old daughter Emma, and man, the emotions Otaani showed.
Speaker 3: That was the best.
Speaker 11: I mean, I just that was just so awesome. My
Speaker 11: question to you is tomorrow justin Mago's and I just
Speaker 11: him and Gonsolin.
Speaker 1: They've got to go.
Speaker 11: They've got to go deep into these games.
Speaker 2: I mean, this.
Speaker 11: Bullpen is so taxed. I just wanted to hear your
Speaker 11: thoughts on those. But man, what an awesome, awesome game
Speaker 11: to watch.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it was a great game. Chris saying, look, they
Speaker 6: want to go deeper into games. Dave Roberts wants to
Speaker 6: allow them to go deeper into games. I feel like
Speaker 6: Dustin May has had more of a challenge doing that.
Speaker 6: And part of the reason why Gonsolyn was taken out
Speaker 6: of his last start after eighty three pitches was because
Speaker 6: he's pitching on regular rest and only his third start
Speaker 6: since twenty twenty three, so believe on Sunday you're going
Speaker 6: to see Gonsolin with a little bit bigger of a
Speaker 6: leash pitch count wise, So I think he's up for
Speaker 6: the task. We just you know, the Dodgers are hoping
Speaker 6: Dustin May is as well.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean.
Speaker 5: That was I mean, all right, thanks for the phone call, Chris.
Speaker 6: Yes, an exhilarating ninth inning for the Dodgers to come
Speaker 6: from behind and score six runs against one of the
Speaker 6: worst bullpen statistically speaking, in Major League Baseball. And look,
Speaker 6: Kevin Ginkle does not scare anybody. The Dodgers saw him yesterday.
Speaker 6: Oh Tani hit a home run off of Ginkle with
Speaker 6: two outs and two strikes last night. The Dodgers obviously
Speaker 6: are one of the best teams that finding any little
Speaker 6: thing that could give them a tip on what a
Speaker 6: pitcher is delivering nothing out of bounds. Just they're very
Speaker 6: good at that scene that And I'm sure they went
Speaker 6: back to the video after last night's game and in
Speaker 6: preparation for tonight game, and whatever they saw, whatever the
Speaker 6: approach was, Ginkle had nowhere to turn because the Dodgers
Speaker 6: were swarming him, and they passed the baton and got
Speaker 6: it to another reliever in Ryan Thompson and show hey.
Speaker 6: Otani did the rest with a go ahead, three run
Speaker 6: home run against Ryan Thompson. And like I mentioned during
Speaker 6: the Clubhouse show, I'm not going to pretend like I
Speaker 6: can analyze baseball, but I've seen a lot of baseball
Speaker 6: right and I know when I see a pitch that
Speaker 6: is batting practice esque.
Speaker 5: Wherein Ryan Thompson released that pitch.
Speaker 6: Where I was sitting in the press box, you could
Speaker 6: see that was a frisbee and you could kind of
Speaker 6: see Otani was staying back because his eyes lit up
Speaker 6: like a Christmas tree when he saw that pitch and
Speaker 6: it was coming towards him. So credit to him for
Speaker 6: staying back and not getting over anxious when he saw
Speaker 6: that frisbee of a split fingered fastball out of Ryan
Speaker 6: Tomson's hands.
Speaker 5: So kudos to UH to show Ao Tani.
Speaker 6: Let's head back downstairs right now to the manager's office
Speaker 6: to hear from Dave Roberts.
Speaker 12: You know, it's uh, there's a lot of familiarity. It's
Speaker 12: you know, I think Tori does a fantastic job with
Speaker 12: their with their club and how they play the game.
Speaker 12: It's a tough, gritty team and so you know, you
Speaker 12: got to strap in and every time you play those
Speaker 12: guys and they don't quit, we don't quit, and it
Speaker 12: was good to see us persevere tonight.
Speaker 7: There's obviously a lot of just kind of up and
Speaker 7: down in this one, but with that ninth inning, what
Speaker 7: does it say about your team and just how they
Speaker 7: showed so much fight there, It says a lot.
Speaker 12: You know, Freddy gets that, you know, block base hit,
Speaker 12: and then Keik has a big hit. Just it just
Speaker 12: kind of kept going months he had a big hit
Speaker 12: right there, pages and it was just really fun to
Speaker 12: watch us just continue to fight. And obviously we didn't
Speaker 12: pitch well tonight, but I thought the defense was sound.
Speaker 5: There was no quit in our ball club.
Speaker 4: And.
Speaker 12: You know, potentially losing the first two games series, now
Speaker 12: having a chance to win game three with Gonsolin tomorrow,
Speaker 12: we're in a pretty good spot.
Speaker 6: Couldn't back after three.
Speaker 8: I wasn't.
Speaker 12: I wasn't.
Speaker 5: I just felt that the offense did enough to.
Speaker 12: Win the game at that point in time, and and
Speaker 12: to not pitch well, it's frustrating because that just kind of,
Speaker 12: you know, puts other guys in the game and and
Speaker 12: you know you're trying to win ensuing games as well,
Speaker 12: and so I just feel that, you know, we're better
Speaker 12: than we've pitched. And fortunately our offense picked us up tonight.
Speaker 12: It did, it did, and you know, you know, we're
Speaker 12: just ready to hit and and we've seen Ginkle a
Speaker 12: lot over the years, and we just took some good
Speaker 12: at bats.
Speaker 5: Yeah, showing for was that just most of them going through?
Speaker 5: Is that most from the type game, the atmosphere, what's
Speaker 5: behind that?
Speaker 12: I think all of the above. You know, it's uh,
Speaker 12: you know, you have a game and you feel good
Speaker 12: about it. You're playing a division rival, they're starting to
Speaker 12: gain momentum in the series, and we fight our way
Speaker 12: back and we take the lead with a big homer,
Speaker 12: and he sees his teammates fighting and you know, guys
Speaker 12: trying to you know, keep us in the ball game.
Speaker 12: So that was kind of the climax of that moment,
Speaker 12: and it's good to see him show a motion like that.
Speaker 5: Was great. All right.
Speaker 6: There's manager Dave Roberts after the Dodgers come from behind
Speaker 6: and pick up their pitching staff tonight and score fourteen runs,
Speaker 6: including six in the ninth inning, to beat the Arizona
Speaker 6: Diamondbacks fourteen to eleven.
Speaker 5: Not a good night for the Dodger lefties.
Speaker 6: Anthony Banda gave up the game tying grand Slam to
Speaker 6: Lords Corriel and then Alex Vesia in the bottom of
Speaker 6: the eighth, andn gave up back to back home runs
Speaker 6: to two right handers. Could tell Marte and Randall Gritchik.
Speaker 6: You know, I'm not a guy that says get off
Speaker 6: my lawn, but that is so annoying. When Marte stop
Speaker 6: between second and third base to do some sort of
Speaker 6: motion of a jump shot just round the bases, did
Speaker 6: you see sho Heyo Tani do that. No, he threw
Speaker 6: his bat up in the air, put his arms out
Speaker 6: like wings and looked at his dugout. I know Marte
Speaker 6: was looking at his dugout, but him and Fernando tatist
Speaker 6: Junior's home run trot just rubbed me the wrong way.
Speaker 6: I just think it's a little bit over the top,
Speaker 6: and it just seems like you're not acting like you've
Speaker 6: been there before.
Speaker 5: And both guys have been there before.
Speaker 6: Marte is one of the best hitting second basemen in baseball,
Speaker 6: and obviously tatist Junior is one of the best players periods.
Speaker 5: So I don't know, I don't know why that bothered
Speaker 5: me so much.
Speaker 6: I believe that Key Hernandez deserves a lot of credit
Speaker 6: tonight as well. I had mentioned the last few days,
Speaker 6: when everybody calls and makes those lazy takes that the
Speaker 6: Dodgers should trade for Nolan Arenado, that is not going
Speaker 6: to happen. Scouts have scouted Aeronado over the last year plus.
Speaker 6: They feel like his skills are declining. That's not just
Speaker 6: the Dodger scouts. They're not trading for Nolan Arenado. But
Speaker 6: what the Dodgers can do if Munzi continues to struggle
Speaker 6: is play Key k Hernandez at third base.
Speaker 5: And he got the start at third base, and he
Speaker 5: had a big game.
Speaker 6: Otani obviously is Otani, but Key k Hernandez had just
Speaker 6: as big of an impact on tonight's game, getting the
Speaker 6: start at third base and playing the entire game. He
Speaker 6: led off the second inning with a home run, He
Speaker 6: made an outstanding base running play to score a run
Speaker 6: in that five run third inning, and in the ninth
Speaker 6: inning he was part of the sixth run rally. He
Speaker 6: doubles in a run, and he scores the tying run
Speaker 6: off of Max Monthsey's tying RBI single. So it was
Speaker 6: good to see everybody get involved tonight, from Kik to
Speaker 6: Munsey to CONFORDO. Everybody was involved tonight. Eight six, six, nine, seven,
Speaker 6: two five seventy is the phone number. Let's go out
Speaker 6: to Newport Beach, Ken, You're on Dodger Talk.
Speaker 5: How you doing, Ken?
Speaker 2: Oh well, I'll tell you what. That was one of
Speaker 2: the best games, the most exciting games I've seen in
Speaker 2: a long time. I mean I was angry.
Speaker 8: I was.
Speaker 2: Printing things about the Dodger pitchers, and by the way,
Speaker 2: I had to erase all that after he hit the
Speaker 2: home run, and I think I sprained my finger pushing
Speaker 2: all the buttons erasing it. But when O Tommy stays
Speaker 2: in the box for the pulls his right leg, he
Speaker 2: is absolutely amazing. I mean he was completely straight there
Speaker 2: when he hit that home run, and you saw the
Speaker 2: same thing I did. When I saw that pitch coming up,
Speaker 2: I already realized he was going to cremate that thing.
Speaker 2: And that's my school ways to go to Arizona State,
Speaker 2: and I got a lot of Arizona people giving me
Speaker 2: a hard time when they came back.
Speaker 10: To their team.
Speaker 2: And I'll tell you what unbelievable game and one of
Speaker 2: the best ones I've seen in a few years.
Speaker 5: All Right, Ken, thank you for the phone call.
Speaker 6: Yeah, very exciting game, and I'm sure your tone would
Speaker 6: have been a little bit different if the Dodgers lost
Speaker 6: this game, because I believe if they lost this game,
Speaker 6: it would have been a bad early season loss.
Speaker 5: I don't believe the Dodgers.
Speaker 6: Would be feeling great about the way they played tonight
Speaker 6: if they lose this game. After putting up eight runs
Speaker 6: early on and giving up a five run lead, so
Speaker 6: thankfully in the ninth the Dodgers were able to mount
Speaker 6: a comeback. And I was a little concerned because it's
Speaker 6: tough to score more than two runs against the bullpen
Speaker 6: these days. But knowing the Diamondbacks bullpen is not very good,
Speaker 6: that's one thing. But after Vesia gives up the back
Speaker 6: to back home runs, that's two more tack on runs
Speaker 6: that the Dodgers needed to overcome in the ninth inning,
Speaker 6: and they were able to do that with a six
Speaker 6: run ninth inning culminating in a show Aotani go ahead,
Speaker 6: three run home run and already seen the photos by
Speaker 6: MLB's Instagram account just captures the moment perfectly.
Speaker 5: Let's go out to mission via ho Bill, You're on
Speaker 5: Dodger Talk Live from Chase Field.
Speaker 10: Hi, Bill, Hi, thanks for taking my call. What do
Speaker 10: you think the Dodgers can do to get more of
Speaker 10: a high leverage left handed picture. Is there any chance,
Speaker 10: I mean, you know, for the late innings especially, you know,
Speaker 10: like you had Bessie to come in late in the game,
Speaker 10: And is there any way they can do that?
Speaker 5: You know, I don't know who's available. I'm sure they can.
Speaker 6: There's a lot of guys out there, not too many
Speaker 6: really good lefties out there. They've got more lefties in
Speaker 6: their bullpen than most teams have all season long. Tanner,
Speaker 6: Scott Vesia, Banda, Jack Dryer, Benda just doesn't seem to
Speaker 6: be the same guy.
Speaker 5: That he was a year ago.
Speaker 6: And look that happens, especially for a guy that had
Speaker 6: a career year and a dream season, a dream October.
Speaker 6: He was not a high leverage guy. He was a
Speaker 6: multi inning guy. And this is a brand new role
Speaker 6: to him and he's gonna have to adjust or the
Speaker 6: Dodgers are going to probably demote him to a point
Speaker 6: where he's not going to be trusted in high leverage situations.
Speaker 6: Eight six six seven two five seventy is the phone number.
Speaker 6: We're going to take a time out here from a
Speaker 6: very festive Chase Field as the bandak speaking of Anthony

Speaker 6: had a chance to catch up with Keik Hernandez. He
Speaker 6: had a huge impact on tonight's win. How big was
Speaker 6: this for the offense to come back and find a
Speaker 6: way to get this win.
Speaker 3: It was enormous, not just for the offense, but you know,
Speaker 3: for the entire team, for the pitching staff.
Speaker 5: You know, uh, it kind of showed that. Uh, you know,
Speaker 5: whenever there they.
Speaker 3: Don't get the job done, we're gonna pick him up.
Speaker 3: And you know, it says a lot about us as
Speaker 3: a team that we're never gonna give up. We're gonna
Speaker 3: play hard to the last out. And uh, this was
Speaker 3: a hell of a ball game.
Speaker 5: What was it like to playing this type of atmosphere again?
Speaker 3: It was really cool, it was It was a lot
Speaker 3: of fun. Uh definitely felt like a like a playoff game. Uh,
Speaker 3: you know, packed house here at Chase Field. Uh, it
Speaker 3: was electric and uh, big back and forth game. You know,
Speaker 3: it's just one of those games that you really, you
Speaker 3: really enjoy being a part of. And I'm glad we
Speaker 3: we ended up winning.
Speaker 6: You did a little bit of everything tonight, not only
Speaker 6: the home run to lead off the second inning, but
Speaker 6: also one of the best base running plays I've seen
Speaker 6: in a long time. How did you read that place
Speaker 6: so quickly to be part of that five run inning.
Speaker 3: Just anticipating you know, I wasn't sure if he was
Speaker 3: if it was a good throw, he was gonna try
Speaker 3: and double him off at first, and if he had
Speaker 3: beaned home played, I was gonna try and you know,
Speaker 3: do something happen. But at the end of the day,
Speaker 3: I was just inspired by comment in Miami.
Speaker 5: So I was gonna say I thought it was Kim
Speaker 5: out there.
Speaker 3: I know I felt that fast, but I looked at
Speaker 3: the video and I did not look at like s fassitos.
Speaker 5: Hey Ohtani and keyk carried the way. Thanks a lot
Speaker 5: for the time.
Speaker 3: Thank you Dad.
Speaker 6: There he goes Key k Hernandez, And I hate to
Speaker 6: say it was October keiy k tonight, but he had
Speaker 6: a focus tonight that really you see in October from
Speaker 6: Key k Hernandez. He played a great game tonight. And uh,
Speaker 6: you know, things are contagious on a team. You see
Speaker 6: a young kid that was just in the KBO that
Speaker 6: gets called up, and not only to speed from hayes
Speaker 6: On Kim, but the base running instincts.
Speaker 5: That's contagious. Other guys say, you know what, I can
Speaker 5: do that too. I want to show you I could
Speaker 5: do that too.
Speaker 6: The base running instincts that keyk Hernandez had tonight were
Speaker 6: similar to Hayesan Kim. And if you go back to
Speaker 6: last year's World Series, that five run or six run
Speaker 6: fifth inning that fell apart on the Yankees.
Speaker 5: Part of It was the base running instincts and IQ
Speaker 5: of key k.
Speaker 6: A Hernandez with that looping slide to make the throw
Speaker 6: that much more difficult for Anthony Volpi.
Speaker 5: So Kei k Hernandez.
Speaker 6: I know sometimes it doesn't look pretty during the regular season,
Speaker 6: but games like this reminds.
Speaker 5: You why he has such a great value to the Dodgers.
Speaker 6: And I know Otani, he did an amazing thing in
Speaker 6: the ninth inning, and he's an amazing player, a generational player.
Speaker 6: But in baseball, it's not like the NBA. Otani just
Speaker 6: can't carry it all by himself. But if you put
Speaker 6: him in positions like the Dodgers put him in tonight
Speaker 6: in the ninth inning, all of a sudden, now you're
Speaker 6: maximizing the greatness of one of the all time great
Speaker 6: players in baseball history.
Speaker 5: In show hey Otani?
Speaker 6: And how about him in the first inning off at
Speaker 6: Eduardo Rodriguez. This ballpark is so weird. It's a hitters ballpark.
Speaker 6: The ball flies here, no doubt about it to straightaway
Speaker 6: center field though it's four hundred and seven feet, but
Speaker 6: if you hit it under the yellow line, it's not
Speaker 6: a home run. They actually made things a little bit
Speaker 6: more fair to hitters because they put a yellow line
Speaker 6: there that is halfway up from the base of the
Speaker 6: wall to the scoreboard. And O'tani hit a four hundred
Speaker 6: and twenty foot shot to lead off the game off
Speaker 6: the wall there underneath the yellow line, and it just
Speaker 6: was a double. Freddie free Men hit a four hundred
Speaker 6: and foot four hundred and one foot sacrifice fly to
Speaker 6: right center field in that alley right there to the
Speaker 6: left of the swimming pool. It's four hundred and thirteen feet,
Speaker 6: So you had two Dodgers hit a ball over four
Speaker 6: hundred feet and neither.
Speaker 5: One was a home run.
Speaker 6: But that was an indication that the Dodgers were going
Speaker 6: to get Eduardo Rodriguez. In fact, the Dodgers had an
Speaker 6: eight to three lead after three innings and knocked out
Speaker 6: Rodriguez after two and two thirds innings.
Speaker 5: So both starters tonight underwhelming.
Speaker 6: And I know we're all very excited and rightfully so
Speaker 6: over the way the Dodgers came back in the ninth inning.
Speaker 6: But the tone of this show and the way you're feeling,
Speaker 6: and the way the Dodgers are feeling right now would
Speaker 6: have been incredibly different if they lost this game. Not
Speaker 6: only the game time Grand Slam Bunda gave up to Guriel,
Speaker 6: but also the way Roki Sazaki basically didn't compete more
Speaker 6: than three innings.
Speaker 5: Tonight he went four plus innings. He came out after a.
Speaker 6: Four pitch walk to Katel Marte. I know he's only
Speaker 6: twenty three years old, but here's my thing. The expectations
Speaker 6: are a lot higher because of the recruiting trip he
Speaker 6: did making all these teams. Basically, you know, roll out
Speaker 6: the red carpet for him as if he was Yoshi Yamamoto.
Speaker 6: He was never and is not as decorated as Yamamoto
Speaker 6: was in Japan. And also, you know he pitches once
Speaker 6: a week. The Dodgers need more from a pitcher that's
Speaker 6: only pitching once a week. Eight six six nine eight
Speaker 6: seven two five seventy is the phone number. Let's take
Speaker 6: one more phone call before we say goodnight. Carlos in
Speaker 6: Valencia walk us off tonight on Dodger Talk.
Speaker 2: Hey, but how's it going?
Speaker 8: Hey?
Speaker 1: A couple of things. First of all, I was really
Speaker 1: happy for Monthsye that he came up so big in
Speaker 1: that situation after he's been scuffling so bad this year.
Speaker 1: It's good to see him come up big in a
Speaker 1: situation like that. I have a quick question for you,
Speaker 1: why did the Dodgers why did they bring up James Outman.
Speaker 1: I don't know what kind of year he was having
Speaker 1: in the miners, but what did he do in a
Speaker 1: miners that they decided to bring him up instead of
Speaker 1: other guys?
Speaker 6: Yeah, well, he's on the forty man roster, he has
Speaker 6: a major league experience. He is swinging the bat and
Speaker 6: was swinging the bat at Oklahoma City really well the
Speaker 6: two weeks before they called him up. And look, it's
Speaker 6: a numbers game. Ti Oscar Hernandez and tom Y Edmond
Speaker 6: are on the IL and they already called up He's
Speaker 6: sung Kim and the Dodgers needed some outfield depth. So
Speaker 6: that was the reason why Outman was the guy.
Speaker 1: Obviously, injuries, you know, dictate if you bring up a guy.
Speaker 1: But I just was wondering what he was I don't
Speaker 1: know what he was doing in the minors, but I mean,
Speaker 1: he's just really struggling right now.
Speaker 2: And he had a bad year last year.
Speaker 6: He did he lost his job and lost his spot
Speaker 6: on a major league roster last year. But I wouldn't
Speaker 6: say he's struggling right now.
Speaker 5: I mean, I feel like.
Speaker 6: He's he's had flashes of the James Outman that we
Speaker 6: saw before. But if you're going to judge him off
Speaker 6: of ten at bats, then you know that's not the
Speaker 6: way the Dodgers judge him.
Speaker 10: No.
Speaker 1: Listen, you know obviously we want to see these guys succeed.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I would love to call in
Speaker 1: today and say he's struggling, but then I e Crow
Speaker 1: a week later because.
Speaker 2: He's tearing it up. That would be amazing. I'm just saying,
Speaker 2: like that bats look really bad.
Speaker 1: I mean, I know, he did hit a three run home.
Speaker 6: Run in Miami. He did hit a three run home
Speaker 6: run in Miami. And look, this is a make or
Speaker 6: break time for James Outman. This is his opportunity to
Speaker 6: stay with the Dodgers. If he doesn't do well during
Speaker 6: this period of time, I'm sure there's going to be
Speaker 6: serious consideration of including him in a trade package in
Speaker 6: July because he may need a change of scenery, La
Speaker 6: and playing for the Dodgers is not for everybody. I'm
Speaker 6: not saying I'm out on Outman, but I'm just saying
Speaker 6: this window of opportunity is going to decide his future
Speaker 6: with or without the Dodgers, and.
Speaker 2: He's had great success in the past, so obviously he
Speaker 2: can do it.
Speaker 6: Yeah, he could do it. He's just got to get
Speaker 6: back to that. Thanks for the phone call, Carlos, appreciate it.
Speaker 6: We're all rooting for James Outman. He's a great kid
Speaker 6: and just has to remind himself not to try to
Speaker 6: do too much. Speaking of injury updates, ta Oscar Hernandez
Speaker 6: Dave Roberts said, things are going really well.
Speaker 5: We'll have ta Oscar on the show Sunday.
Speaker 6: Blake Snell is I want to join us tomorrow, and
Speaker 6: Tommy Edman still dealing with some soreness in that right ankle.
Speaker 5: We'll see when.
Speaker 6: He's activated, hopefully on the next homestand and Kershaw. We'll
Speaker 6: be pitching at Oklahoma City on Sunday and should be
Speaker 6: returning next weekend against the Angels.
Speaker 5: That'll do it for us. Tonight on Dodger Talk, thanks
Speaker 5: to Coliny and Dwayne McDonald. Thanks to you for listening.
Speaker 6: Tomorrow, Dustin May against Corbin Burns Morongo Casino, Dodgers on
Speaker 6: Degg begins at four o'clock, first pitch at five to ten.
Speaker 6: Once again, the final score. Tonight from Chase Field in Arizona,
Speaker 6: the Dodgers come from behind and beat the Snakes fourteen
Speaker 6: to eleven. I'm gonna try to get out of here
Speaker 6: before this concert ends. Have a great rest of your night,
Speaker 6: See you
Speaker 12: And away
