WEBVTT 1 00:00:01.520 --> 00:00:06.480 One thing about this gene is the invisible and tangibles 2 00:00:06.480 --> 00:00:06.919 that they have. 3 00:00:07.160 --> 00:00:10.199 This team is really becoming a family. Let's not play 4 00:00:10.199 --> 00:00:10.800 one on Tom. 5 00:00:10.919 --> 00:00:13.679 Let's wind it.

Hell old time, go to 14 00:00:34.280 --> 00:00:35.200 the sound. 15 00:00:35.200 --> 00:00:37.359 Grab your phone to get in on the show called 16 00:00:37.439 --> 00:00:40.439 eight six six nine eighty seven two five seven and 17 00:00:40.600 --> 00:00:43.719 go to the show. And now your host of Dodger Talk, 18 00:00:44.159 --> 00:00:45.079 David Vasse. 19 00:00:46.920 --> 00:00:50.520 We are live at Chase Field after the Dodgers scores 20 00:00:50.600 --> 00:00:54.039 six runs in the ninth inning to come from behind 21 00:00:54.159 --> 00:01:00.119 and defeat the Diamondbacks fourteen to eleven. David Vassey live 22 00:01:00.119 --> 00:01:04.439 at Chase Field as a BANDA concert is happening as 23 00:01:04.480 --> 00:01:07.760 we speak, so we'll see how long that goes, whether 24 00:01:07.840 --> 00:01:10.519 or not we're here longer than the concert, but we're 25 00:01:10.560 --> 00:01:14.040 with you until eleven thirty on a night where the 26 00:01:14.120 --> 00:01:18.159 Dodgers could have gone back to their hotel not feeling 27 00:01:18.239 --> 00:01:20.599 great about the way things would have gone tonight if 28 00:01:20.640 --> 00:01:25.599 they lost. Instead, they're going back elated. After the Dodger 29 00:01:25.680 --> 00:01:30.920 offense scores fourteen runs, including six runs in the ninth inning, 30 00:01:31.120 --> 00:01:35.519 to come from behind and beat the Arizona Diamondbacks fourteen 31 00:01:35.599 --> 00:01:39.120 to eleven. We'll hear from Shoho Tani and Keke Hernandez 32 00:01:39.159 --> 00:01:41.680 again in a moment, and we do have phone lines 33 00:01:41.719 --> 00:01:45.280 open at eight six, six, nine, eighty seven, two, five seventy. 34 00:01:45.439 --> 00:01:48.920 But that Dodger offense in the ninth inning is the 35 00:01:48.959 --> 00:01:53.640 epitome of the identity of the Dodger offense when it's 36 00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:58.480 going well. Look, I mentioned this last night and it 37 00:01:58.560 --> 00:02:03.280 remains true tonight. The Diamondbacks bullpen is the Achilles heel 38 00:02:03.480 --> 00:02:07.519 of this team. So if you thought the Dodgers were 39 00:02:07.599 --> 00:02:11.199 done after eight innings tonight, you did not do your 40 00:02:11.240 --> 00:02:16.240 homework on this Diamondbacks bullpen. And Freddie Freeman was leading 41 00:02:16.280 --> 00:02:19.479 off the inning. And Freddie Freeman is one of the 42 00:02:19.479 --> 00:02:23.080 best hitters in baseball in his generation, and right now 43 00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:24.719 he's swinging a hot bat tonight. 44 00:02:25.240 --> 00:02:27.960 Freddy was two for fourward two runs, scored and he 45 00:02:28.080 --> 00:02:28.919 drove in a run. 46 00:02:29.360 --> 00:02:32.800 He got on base with an opposite field base hit. 47 00:02:33.039 --> 00:02:36.000 He understood he just needed to get on base and 48 00:02:36.080 --> 00:02:39.319 pass that baton. That's what the Dodgers did in that 49 00:02:39.479 --> 00:02:43.280 ninth inning, Freeman got on Pa has doubled him home 50 00:02:43.360 --> 00:02:44.400 from first base. 51 00:02:44.919 --> 00:02:47.439 I was wondering when Dave Roberts. 52 00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:51.039 Was going to use his speed weapon in Hay Song Kim. 53 00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:54.000 Was it going to be for Freeman? No, because that 54 00:02:54.159 --> 00:02:55.199 run was just one. 55 00:02:55.800 --> 00:02:58.639 He used it when it mattered the most, when Muncy 56 00:02:59.159 --> 00:03:02.199 tied the game in the ninth inning, and you know, 57 00:03:02.280 --> 00:03:06.479 obviously show hey O, Tommy did not need Kim to 58 00:03:06.520 --> 00:03:08.680 speed home because he took care of the rest. 59 00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:12.039 So I just thought that that was great offense. 60 00:03:12.159 --> 00:03:15.120 Now, as far as the other parts of this game, 61 00:03:15.360 --> 00:03:20.199 concerning Anthony Bonda, who has been thrust into a role 62 00:03:20.360 --> 00:03:23.919 that maybe he's not up for after being a guy 63 00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:27.639 that the Dodgers claimed off waivers and was pitching on 64 00:03:27.680 --> 00:03:30.759 another level that he has never pitched on in his 65 00:03:30.960 --> 00:03:34.400 entire major league career, pitched more than he ever had 66 00:03:34.439 --> 00:03:38.599 in his major league career, gives up his second Grand 67 00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:41.879 Slam this season. It was a game tying Grand Slam 68 00:03:42.159 --> 00:03:47.000 and Roki Sazaki. Look, he pitches once a week. If 69 00:03:47.039 --> 00:03:49.719 you're gonna pitch once a week, you've got to give 70 00:03:49.719 --> 00:03:52.680 your team more than that, and more than what he 71 00:03:52.759 --> 00:03:56.280 has given the Dodgers so far. And I'm interested to 72 00:03:56.280 --> 00:03:59.639 see where the Dodgers go with Roki Sazaki because if 73 00:03:59.639 --> 00:04:03.639 his name was not Roki Sazaki, he probably would be 74 00:04:04.080 --> 00:04:08.039 getting more seasoning in the minor league. So, considering the 75 00:04:08.120 --> 00:04:11.560 Dodgers have three of their main starters on the IL, 76 00:04:11.719 --> 00:04:15.080 they kind of need Sazaki right now. But once Snell 77 00:04:15.240 --> 00:04:19.199 and Kershaw and maybe Glass now get back, if Sazaki 78 00:04:19.279 --> 00:04:22.600 is still putting the Dodgers' bullpen in a vulnerable. 79 00:04:22.160 --> 00:04:25.399 Position, they may have to make a decision there. 80 00:04:25.800 --> 00:04:28.759 Eight sixty six nine eight seven two five seventy is 81 00:04:28.800 --> 00:04:29.560 the phone number. 82 00:04:29.800 --> 00:04:32.279 Let's hear from the Hero Tonight show. 83 00:04:32.360 --> 00:04:35.879 Hey Otani who had a double and the go ahead 84 00:04:35.959 --> 00:04:38.920 three run home run or two doubles tonight and the 85 00:04:38.959 --> 00:04:41.480 go ahead three run home run in the ninth inning. 86 00:04:41.879 --> 00:04:44.439 He was with Kirsten Watson on Sports and at LA 87 00:04:45.079 --> 00:04:45.639 so Hey. 88 00:04:45.519 --> 00:04:48.079 The series has been insane, This game was insane. Is 89 00:04:48.120 --> 00:04:50.519 this what you come to expects with this divisional matchup? 90 00:04:50.920 --> 00:04:51.759 So take you guy this. 91 00:04:51.839 --> 00:04:54.120 I get them all chilling, all on my up. 92 00:05:00.279 --> 00:05:03.519 And everybody's OK, let me not get on missing tonight 93 00:05:03.680 --> 00:05:10.279 must like that's it. I'll put him on. 94 00:05:06.920 --> 00:05:12.399 It's not the kind of game we always play. But 95 00:05:12.639 --> 00:05:16.759 you know, everybody really stayed behind, stayed as a team, grinded, 96 00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:20.040 and I know I contributed tonight, but it was really 97 00:05:20.079 --> 00:05:21.879 the process of getting there that matter. 98 00:05:22.439 --> 00:05:24.519 Claire, You guys refused to lose this one. When you 99 00:05:24.519 --> 00:05:26.519 look at that ninth inning, how much fight did it 100 00:05:26.639 --> 00:05:27.959 show that the team. 101 00:05:27.720 --> 00:05:29.800 Has cute guy? Oh forret you guys they meet this. 102 00:05:36.399 --> 00:05:36.560 Side. 103 00:05:36.879 --> 00:05:40.240 I'm thinking with a n. 104 00:05:41.959 --> 00:05:45.800 I shook that just really great inning is something that 105 00:05:45.959 --> 00:05:47.199 I think we want to be able. 106 00:05:47.040 --> 00:05:49.000 To show to all the teams that were capable of 107 00:05:49.120 --> 00:05:51.759 doing last night.

You mussel so so. 113 00:06:23.959 --> 00:06:26.800 Unique delivery, unique movement with his pitches. 114 00:06:26.879 --> 00:06:28.519 So all I wanted to do was put the ball 115 00:06:28.560 --> 00:06:28.920 in play. 116 00:06:29.360 --> 00:06:31.759 We saw the emotions out you did just that. Congratulations 117 00:06:31.839 --> 00:06:32.199 on this win. 118 00:06:32.240 --> 00:06:38.839 Show all right there, show hey O Tani with Kirsten 119 00:06:38.879 --> 00:06:42.079 Watson on sports Net l A and Jose Mota showed 120 00:06:42.120 --> 00:06:45.160 me a photo of uh the way O Tani was 121 00:06:45.600 --> 00:06:48.199 not connected to the ground earlier in the game, and 122 00:06:48.319 --> 00:06:50.759 then when he hit that home run off of Ryan 123 00:06:50.879 --> 00:06:55.519 Thompson front foot, planeted he had balance and he had 124 00:06:55.639 --> 00:06:59.000 posture as he launched a four hundred and twenty six 125 00:06:59.120 --> 00:07:03.560 foot home run to right field. And you usually don't 126 00:07:03.639 --> 00:07:07.800 see that type of emotion, if ever, from Otani, no 127 00:07:07.959 --> 00:07:10.759 matter what the circumstances are. But he had a huge 128 00:07:10.879 --> 00:07:14.800 batflip and certainly showed a lot of emotion as the 129 00:07:14.959 --> 00:07:19.160 Dodgers completed the come from behind win fourteen to eleven. 130 00:07:19.600 --> 00:07:23.079 Here in Arizona eight six six eight seven two five 131 00:07:23.240 --> 00:07:26.600 seventy is the phone number.

Move that line. Thanks for the phone call, Oz, Yeah, 153 00:08:09.519 --> 00:08:11.439 I thought Taylor. 154 00:08:11.319 --> 00:08:14.560 Who got the starting left field, understood where he's at 155 00:08:14.680 --> 00:08:17.360 right now, understood where he was hitting in the lineup, 156 00:08:17.439 --> 00:08:20.600 hitting ninth, understanding you want to flip that lineup over 157 00:08:20.800 --> 00:08:24.800 to get Otani up. O'tani two doubles tonight and the Dodgers, 158 00:08:25.160 --> 00:08:28.360 by the way, just we're all over at Wardo Rodriguez 159 00:08:28.439 --> 00:08:31.600 early in this game, at Wardo Rodriguez, if you remember 160 00:08:31.720 --> 00:08:34.720 a couple of years ago, refused a trade to the 161 00:08:34.879 --> 00:08:37.879 Dodgers when he was with the Tigers. Well, the Dodgers 162 00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:42.279 made him pay tonight. They slammed him with nine hits tonight. 163 00:08:42.720 --> 00:08:45.519 Eight earned runs were charged and only two and two 164 00:08:45.639 --> 00:08:49.320 thirds innings for the Arizona left hander who signed a 165 00:08:49.440 --> 00:08:53.080 four year, eighty million dollar contract here in the Desert. 166 00:08:53.480 --> 00:08:56.919 Let's go out to Whittier. Chris, you're on Dodger Talk 167 00:08:57.039 --> 00:08:58.039 Live from Chase Field. 168 00:08:58.080 --> 00:09:03.159 Hi, Chris, Hey, Dave, Hey, what an awesome win. Hey, 169 00:09:04.360 --> 00:09:06.399 we were watching the game, me and my fifteen year 170 00:09:06.399 --> 00:09:10.639 old daughter Emma, and man, the emotions Otaani showed. 171 00:09:12.120 --> 00:09:13.120 That was the best. 172 00:09:13.840 --> 00:09:17.559 I mean, I just that was just so awesome. My 173 00:09:17.799 --> 00:09:21.840 question to you is tomorrow justin Mago's and I just 174 00:09:22.679 --> 00:09:23.679 him and Gonsolin. 175 00:09:24.120 --> 00:09:24.720 They've got to go. 176 00:09:25.320 --> 00:09:27.120 They've got to go deep into these games. 177 00:09:27.320 --> 00:09:27.720 I mean, this. 178 00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:32.000 Bullpen is so taxed. I just wanted to hear your 179 00:09:32.080 --> 00:09:35.600 thoughts on those. But man, what an awesome, awesome game 180 00:09:35.679 --> 00:09:36.080 to watch. 181 00:09:37.919 --> 00:09:40.360 Yeah, it was a great game. Chris saying, look, they 182 00:09:40.480 --> 00:09:43.120 want to go deeper into games. Dave Roberts wants to 183 00:09:43.240 --> 00:09:46.200 allow them to go deeper into games. I feel like 184 00:09:46.320 --> 00:09:49.519 Dustin May has had more of a challenge doing that. 185 00:09:49.720 --> 00:09:51.960 And part of the reason why Gonsolyn was taken out 186 00:09:51.960 --> 00:09:55.120 of his last start after eighty three pitches was because 187 00:09:55.120 --> 00:09:58.240 he's pitching on regular rest and only his third start 188 00:09:58.360 --> 00:10:02.159 since twenty twenty three, so believe on Sunday you're going 189 00:10:02.240 --> 00:10:04.519 to see Gonsolin with a little bit bigger of a 190 00:10:04.639 --> 00:10:08.159 leash pitch count wise, So I think he's up for 191 00:10:08.240 --> 00:10:10.639 the task. We just you know, the Dodgers are hoping 192 00:10:10.759 --> 00:10:11.879 Dustin May is as well. 193 00:10:13.840 --> 00:10:14.720 Yeah, I mean. 194 00:10:16.120 --> 00:10:20.559 That was I mean, all right, thanks for the phone call, Chris. 195 00:10:20.720 --> 00:10:24.039 Yes, an exhilarating ninth inning for the Dodgers to come 196 00:10:24.080 --> 00:10:27.399 from behind and score six runs against one of the 197 00:10:27.519 --> 00:10:32.360 worst bullpen statistically speaking, in Major League Baseball. And look, 198 00:10:32.759 --> 00:10:37.039 Kevin Ginkle does not scare anybody. The Dodgers saw him yesterday. 199 00:10:37.080 --> 00:10:39.039 Oh Tani hit a home run off of Ginkle with 200 00:10:39.120 --> 00:10:42.639 two outs and two strikes last night. The Dodgers obviously 201 00:10:42.840 --> 00:10:45.879 are one of the best teams that finding any little 202 00:10:46.039 --> 00:10:48.559 thing that could give them a tip on what a 203 00:10:48.679 --> 00:10:52.840 pitcher is delivering nothing out of bounds. Just they're very 204 00:10:52.879 --> 00:10:55.720 good at that scene that And I'm sure they went 205 00:10:55.879 --> 00:10:58.320 back to the video after last night's game and in 206 00:10:58.440 --> 00:11:02.240 preparation for tonight game, and whatever they saw, whatever the 207 00:11:02.360 --> 00:11:07.080 approach was, Ginkle had nowhere to turn because the Dodgers 208 00:11:07.159 --> 00:11:10.720 were swarming him, and they passed the baton and got 209 00:11:10.799 --> 00:11:14.519 it to another reliever in Ryan Thompson and show hey. 210 00:11:14.519 --> 00:11:17.480 Otani did the rest with a go ahead, three run 211 00:11:17.600 --> 00:11:21.080 home run against Ryan Thompson. And like I mentioned during 212 00:11:21.120 --> 00:11:24.000 the Clubhouse show, I'm not going to pretend like I 213 00:11:24.279 --> 00:11:27.639 can analyze baseball, but I've seen a lot of baseball 214 00:11:27.759 --> 00:11:30.360 right and I know when I see a pitch that 215 00:11:30.559 --> 00:11:32.840 is batting practice esque. 216 00:11:33.279 --> 00:11:35.919 Wherein Ryan Thompson released that pitch. 217 00:11:37.440 --> 00:11:40.159 Where I was sitting in the press box, you could 218 00:11:40.240 --> 00:11:42.799 see that was a frisbee and you could kind of 219 00:11:42.840 --> 00:11:46.840 see Otani was staying back because his eyes lit up 220 00:11:47.039 --> 00:11:50.279 like a Christmas tree when he saw that pitch and 221 00:11:50.399 --> 00:11:53.159 it was coming towards him. So credit to him for 222 00:11:53.360 --> 00:11:56.200 staying back and not getting over anxious when he saw 223 00:11:56.679 --> 00:11:59.600 that frisbee of a split fingered fastball out of Ryan 224 00:11:59.679 --> 00:12:00.679 Tomson's hands. 225 00:12:00.759 --> 00:12:04.039 So kudos to UH to show Ao Tani. 226 00:12:04.519 --> 00:12:07.399 Let's head back downstairs right now to the manager's office 227 00:12:07.440 --> 00:12:08.720 to hear from Dave Roberts. 228 00:12:09.919 --> 00:12:13.480 You know, it's uh, there's a lot of familiarity. It's 229 00:12:14.360 --> 00:12:16.519 you know, I think Tori does a fantastic job with 230 00:12:16.679 --> 00:12:20.080 their with their club and how they play the game. 231 00:12:21.279 --> 00:12:24.200 It's a tough, gritty team and so you know, you 232 00:12:24.320 --> 00:12:26.080 got to strap in and every time you play those 233 00:12:26.120 --> 00:12:31.279 guys and they don't quit, we don't quit, and it 234 00:12:31.399 --> 00:12:32.879 was good to see us persevere tonight. 235 00:12:33.000 --> 00:12:34.399 There's obviously a lot of just kind of up and 236 00:12:34.480 --> 00:12:36.240 down in this one, but with that ninth inning, what 237 00:12:36.279 --> 00:12:38.200 does it say about your team and just how they 238 00:12:38.279 --> 00:12:41.879 showed so much fight there, It says a lot. 239 00:12:42.159 --> 00:12:46.000 You know, Freddy gets that, you know, block base hit, 240 00:12:46.840 --> 00:12:51.159 and then Keik has a big hit. Just it just 241 00:12:51.240 --> 00:12:53.320 kind of kept going months he had a big hit 242 00:12:53.440 --> 00:12:57.799 right there, pages and it was just really fun to 243 00:12:57.919 --> 00:13:02.679 watch us just continue to fight. And obviously we didn't 244 00:13:02.720 --> 00:13:06.840 pitch well tonight, but I thought the defense was sound. 245 00:13:07.440 --> 00:13:09.440 There was no quit in our ball club. 246 00:13:09.320 --> 00:13:09.399 And. 247 00:13:11.720 --> 00:13:15.080 You know, potentially losing the first two games series, now 248 00:13:15.480 --> 00:13:19.159 having a chance to win game three with Gonsolin tomorrow, 249 00:13:19.279 --> 00:13:20.279 we're in a pretty good spot. 250 00:13:22.759 --> 00:13:24.200 Couldn't back after three. 251 00:13:25.279 --> 00:13:25.720 I wasn't. 252 00:13:26.039 --> 00:13:26.480 I wasn't. 253 00:13:26.679 --> 00:13:29.480 I just felt that the offense did enough to. 254 00:13:31.120 --> 00:13:34.559 Win the game at that point in time, and and 255 00:13:34.720 --> 00:13:37.960 to not pitch well, it's frustrating because that just kind of, 256 00:13:39.000 --> 00:13:41.240 you know, puts other guys in the game and and 257 00:13:41.519 --> 00:13:43.759 you know you're trying to win ensuing games as well, 258 00:13:44.399 --> 00:13:46.679 and so I just feel that, you know, we're better 259 00:13:46.720 --> 00:13:51.279 than we've pitched. And fortunately our offense picked us up tonight. 260 00:13:53.840 --> 00:13:57.879 It did, it did, and you know, you know, we're 261 00:13:57.919 --> 00:14:01.399 just ready to hit and and we've seen Ginkle a 262 00:14:01.480 --> 00:14:04.120 lot over the years, and we just took some good 263 00:14:04.159 --> 00:14:04.519 at bats. 264 00:14:04.840 --> 00:14:08.399 Yeah, showing for was that just most of them going through? 265 00:14:08.519 --> 00:14:11.240 Is that most from the type game, the atmosphere, what's 266 00:14:11.639 --> 00:14:12.039 behind that? 267 00:14:12.759 --> 00:14:15.320 I think all of the above. You know, it's uh, 268 00:14:16.600 --> 00:14:18.200 you know, you have a game and you feel good 269 00:14:18.240 --> 00:14:20.440 about it. You're playing a division rival, they're starting to 270 00:14:20.480 --> 00:14:25.080 gain momentum in the series, and we fight our way 271 00:14:25.159 --> 00:14:28.360 back and we take the lead with a big homer, 272 00:14:28.440 --> 00:14:31.519 and he sees his teammates fighting and you know, guys 273 00:14:31.639 --> 00:14:34.279 trying to you know, keep us in the ball game. 274 00:14:34.360 --> 00:14:36.840 So that was kind of the climax of that moment, 275 00:14:36.919 --> 00:14:39.600 and it's good to see him show a motion like that. 276 00:14:39.759 --> 00:14:41.960 Was great. All right. 277 00:14:42.039 --> 00:14:45.519 There's manager Dave Roberts after the Dodgers come from behind 278 00:14:45.600 --> 00:14:49.519 and pick up their pitching staff tonight and score fourteen runs, 279 00:14:49.600 --> 00:14:53.000 including six in the ninth inning, to beat the Arizona 280 00:14:53.080 --> 00:14:55.159 Diamondbacks fourteen to eleven. 281 00:14:55.360 --> 00:14:57.320 Not a good night for the Dodger lefties. 282 00:14:57.639 --> 00:15:01.240 Anthony Banda gave up the game tying grand Slam to 283 00:15:01.559 --> 00:15:05.720 Lords Corriel and then Alex Vesia in the bottom of 284 00:15:05.799 --> 00:15:08.720 the eighth, andn gave up back to back home runs 285 00:15:08.840 --> 00:15:13.000 to two right handers. Could tell Marte and Randall Gritchik. 286 00:15:13.440 --> 00:15:15.120 You know, I'm not a guy that says get off 287 00:15:15.159 --> 00:15:19.639 my lawn, but that is so annoying. When Marte stop 288 00:15:19.759 --> 00:15:23.639 between second and third base to do some sort of 289 00:15:23.759 --> 00:15:27.320 motion of a jump shot just round the bases, did 290 00:15:27.360 --> 00:15:30.240 you see sho Heyo Tani do that. No, he threw 291 00:15:30.320 --> 00:15:32.919 his bat up in the air, put his arms out 292 00:15:33.039 --> 00:15:35.919 like wings and looked at his dugout. I know Marte 293 00:15:36.080 --> 00:15:40.200 was looking at his dugout, but him and Fernando tatist 294 00:15:40.279 --> 00:15:43.360 Junior's home run trot just rubbed me the wrong way. 295 00:15:43.399 --> 00:15:45.799 I just think it's a little bit over the top, 296 00:15:46.120 --> 00:15:49.320 and it just seems like you're not acting like you've 297 00:15:49.360 --> 00:15:50.080 been there before. 298 00:15:50.279 --> 00:15:52.159 And both guys have been there before. 299 00:15:52.320 --> 00:15:55.960 Marte is one of the best hitting second basemen in baseball, 300 00:15:56.360 --> 00:15:59.639 and obviously tatist Junior is one of the best players periods. 301 00:15:59.720 --> 00:16:02.200 So I don't know, I don't know why that bothered 302 00:16:02.240 --> 00:16:02.799 me so much. 303 00:16:03.639 --> 00:16:06.879 I believe that Key Hernandez deserves a lot of credit 304 00:16:06.960 --> 00:16:10.960 tonight as well. I had mentioned the last few days, 305 00:16:11.080 --> 00:16:14.600 when everybody calls and makes those lazy takes that the 306 00:16:14.679 --> 00:16:18.159 Dodgers should trade for Nolan Arenado, that is not going 307 00:16:18.240 --> 00:16:23.279 to happen. Scouts have scouted Aeronado over the last year plus. 308 00:16:23.399 --> 00:16:25.960 They feel like his skills are declining. That's not just 309 00:16:26.080 --> 00:16:29.519 the Dodger scouts. They're not trading for Nolan Arenado. But 310 00:16:29.639 --> 00:16:33.679 what the Dodgers can do if Munzi continues to struggle 311 00:16:34.080 --> 00:16:36.279 is play Key k Hernandez at third base. 312 00:16:36.600 --> 00:16:38.600 And he got the start at third base, and he 313 00:16:38.679 --> 00:16:39.440 had a big game. 314 00:16:39.679 --> 00:16:44.440 Otani obviously is Otani, but Key k Hernandez had just 315 00:16:44.600 --> 00:16:47.480 as big of an impact on tonight's game, getting the 316 00:16:47.559 --> 00:16:51.039 start at third base and playing the entire game. He 317 00:16:51.320 --> 00:16:53.840 led off the second inning with a home run, He 318 00:16:53.960 --> 00:16:56.840 made an outstanding base running play to score a run 319 00:16:56.960 --> 00:16:59.720 in that five run third inning, and in the ninth 320 00:16:59.720 --> 00:17:03.240 inning he was part of the sixth run rally. He 321 00:17:03.759 --> 00:17:06.319 doubles in a run, and he scores the tying run 322 00:17:06.960 --> 00:17:10.799 off of Max Monthsey's tying RBI single. So it was 323 00:17:10.880 --> 00:17:14.480 good to see everybody get involved tonight, from Kik to 324 00:17:14.640 --> 00:17:21.000 Munsey to CONFORDO. Everybody was involved tonight. Eight six, six, nine, seven, 325 00:17:21.079 --> 00:17:23.519 two five seventy is the phone number. Let's go out 326 00:17:23.559 --> 00:17:26.240 to Newport Beach, Ken, You're on Dodger Talk. 327 00:17:26.319 --> 00:17:27.000 How you doing, Ken? 328 00:17:28.240 --> 00:17:31.359 Oh well, I'll tell you what. That was one of 329 00:17:31.519 --> 00:17:34.759 the best games, the most exciting games I've seen in 330 00:17:34.920 --> 00:17:38.640 a long time. I mean I was angry. 331 00:17:38.839 --> 00:17:39.160 I was. 332 00:17:40.640 --> 00:17:45.039 Printing things about the Dodger pitchers, and by the way, 333 00:17:45.359 --> 00:17:47.480 I had to erase all that after he hit the 334 00:17:47.519 --> 00:17:51.200 home run, and I think I sprained my finger pushing 335 00:17:51.319 --> 00:17:56.000 all the buttons erasing it. But when O Tommy stays 336 00:17:56.039 --> 00:17:59.279 in the box for the pulls his right leg, he 337 00:17:59.440 --> 00:18:04.839 is absolutely amazing. I mean he was completely straight there 338 00:18:05.119 --> 00:18:07.640 when he hit that home run, and you saw the 339 00:18:07.720 --> 00:18:10.279 same thing I did. When I saw that pitch coming up, 340 00:18:10.960 --> 00:18:14.319 I already realized he was going to cremate that thing. 341 00:18:14.799 --> 00:18:17.920 And that's my school ways to go to Arizona State, 342 00:18:17.960 --> 00:18:20.519 and I got a lot of Arizona people giving me 343 00:18:20.599 --> 00:18:22.839 a hard time when they came back. 344 00:18:24.160 --> 00:18:24.839 To their team. 345 00:18:24.920 --> 00:18:28.799 And I'll tell you what unbelievable game and one of 346 00:18:28.839 --> 00:18:30.759 the best ones I've seen in a few years. 347 00:18:32.480 --> 00:18:34.319 All Right, Ken, thank you for the phone call. 348 00:18:34.440 --> 00:18:37.240 Yeah, very exciting game, and I'm sure your tone would 349 00:18:37.279 --> 00:18:40.440 have been a little bit different if the Dodgers lost 350 00:18:40.559 --> 00:18:42.880 this game, because I believe if they lost this game, 351 00:18:42.960 --> 00:18:45.680 it would have been a bad early season loss. 352 00:18:46.000 --> 00:18:47.759 I don't believe the Dodgers. 353 00:18:47.720 --> 00:18:50.279 Would be feeling great about the way they played tonight 354 00:18:50.319 --> 00:18:53.960 if they lose this game. After putting up eight runs 355 00:18:54.079 --> 00:18:58.039 early on and giving up a five run lead, so 356 00:18:58.680 --> 00:19:01.680 thankfully in the ninth the Dodgers were able to mount 357 00:19:01.680 --> 00:19:05.039 a comeback. And I was a little concerned because it's 358 00:19:05.160 --> 00:19:08.720 tough to score more than two runs against the bullpen 359 00:19:08.839 --> 00:19:12.079 these days. But knowing the Diamondbacks bullpen is not very good, 360 00:19:12.759 --> 00:19:15.480 that's one thing. But after Vesia gives up the back 361 00:19:15.519 --> 00:19:18.480 to back home runs, that's two more tack on runs 362 00:19:18.960 --> 00:19:21.920 that the Dodgers needed to overcome in the ninth inning, 363 00:19:22.279 --> 00:19:24.279 and they were able to do that with a six 364 00:19:24.440 --> 00:19:28.240 run ninth inning culminating in a show Aotani go ahead, 365 00:19:28.319 --> 00:19:31.839 three run home run and already seen the photos by 366 00:19:32.079 --> 00:19:36.200 MLB's Instagram account just captures the moment perfectly. 367 00:19:36.680 --> 00:19:39.240 Let's go out to mission via ho Bill, You're on 368 00:19:39.400 --> 00:19:41.559 Dodger Talk Live from Chase Field. 369 00:19:41.640 --> 00:19:45.440 Hi, Bill, Hi, thanks for taking my call. What do 370 00:19:45.519 --> 00:19:48.880 you think the Dodgers can do to get more of 371 00:19:49.039 --> 00:19:52.440 a high leverage left handed picture. Is there any chance, 372 00:19:52.519 --> 00:19:56.440 I mean, you know, for the late innings especially, you know, 373 00:19:56.599 --> 00:19:59.759 like you had Bessie to come in late in the game, 374 00:20:00.319 --> 00:20:01.839 And is there any way they can do that? 375 00:20:02.359 --> 00:20:06.000 You know, I don't know who's available. I'm sure they can. 376 00:20:06.319 --> 00:20:09.400 There's a lot of guys out there, not too many 377 00:20:09.599 --> 00:20:12.839 really good lefties out there. They've got more lefties in 378 00:20:12.920 --> 00:20:17.880 their bullpen than most teams have all season long. Tanner, 379 00:20:17.960 --> 00:20:22.640 Scott Vesia, Banda, Jack Dryer, Benda just doesn't seem to 380 00:20:22.759 --> 00:20:23.920 be the same guy. 381 00:20:23.839 --> 00:20:25.119 That he was a year ago. 382 00:20:25.240 --> 00:20:28.680 And look that happens, especially for a guy that had 383 00:20:28.720 --> 00:20:32.640 a career year and a dream season, a dream October. 384 00:20:33.559 --> 00:20:35.319 He was not a high leverage guy. He was a 385 00:20:35.440 --> 00:20:38.839 multi inning guy. And this is a brand new role 386 00:20:38.920 --> 00:20:43.000 to him and he's gonna have to adjust or the 387 00:20:43.160 --> 00:20:46.680 Dodgers are going to probably demote him to a point 388 00:20:46.720 --> 00:20:50.519 where he's not going to be trusted in high leverage situations. 389 00:20:51.079 --> 00:20:55.079 Eight six six seven two five seventy is the phone number. 390 00:20:55.200 --> 00:20:57.319 We're going to take a time out here from a 391 00:20:57.480 --> 00:21:01.279 very festive Chase Field as the bandak speaking of Anthony 392 00:21:01.359 --> 00:21:05.839 Banda Bonda concert continues here in Arizona.
