Let's lend it. 5 00:00:11.919 --> 00:00:13.720 I love writing me these guys after the show. 6 00:00:13.839 --> 00:00:15.199 So just thank you, give me all. 7 00:00:15.160 --> 00:00:17.480 Your attention, your fire, not a pisses. 8 00:00:17.800 --> 00:00:22.239 This is world champion, Dodger world championing for a small 9 00:00:22.280 --> 00:00:22.719 soft time. 10 00:00:22.760 --> 00:00:24.399 They get up people what they want to die too 11 00:00:24.480 --> 00:00:26.760 in a row two is special. I'm like, yeah, it's 12 00:00:26.760 --> 00:00:31.359 not a headache one of them con this ball's gone. 13 00:00:31.839 --> 00:00:32.880 You ready to go? Sure? 14 00:00:33.000 --> 00:00:36.320 Hell old time to the sound grab your phone. 15 00:00:36.039 --> 00:00:38.439 To get in on the show called eight six six 16 00:00:38.640 --> 00:00:41.399 nine eighty seven two five seven and go to the show. 17 00:00:41.759 --> 00:00:45.119 And now your host of Dodger Talk, David Basse. 18 00:00:47.079 --> 00:00:48.359 Welcome to Dodger Talk. 19 00:00:48.640 --> 00:00:52.359 David Basse, with you until five thirty, taking your phone 20 00:00:52.399 --> 00:00:55.920 calls at eight sixty six nine eighty seven two five seventy. 21 00:00:56.200 --> 00:00:59.399 The Dodgers defeat the Pirates today by a final score 22 00:00:59.520 --> 00:01:03.240 of nine to two. They take the series two out 23 00:01:03.240 --> 00:01:05.959 of three after losing the first game being shut out 24 00:01:06.239 --> 00:01:09.359 by Paul Skeens. So they come back and take care 25 00:01:09.359 --> 00:01:11.560 of business against the Pirates and that's kind of the 26 00:01:11.599 --> 00:01:14.439 trend of the Pirates ever since calling up Paul Skeens 27 00:01:15.079 --> 00:01:19.439 last year. They were fifteen and eight when Skeens made starts, 28 00:01:19.640 --> 00:01:22.680 and when he was not starting games, they were seventeen 29 00:01:22.760 --> 00:01:26.840 games under five hundred. And we saw why the Dodgers 30 00:01:26.840 --> 00:01:29.400 took care of business winning the last two. And with 31 00:01:29.480 --> 00:01:32.640 the Marlins coming to town for these three games, the 32 00:01:32.719 --> 00:01:36.400 Dodgers are going to see Sandy a Contra in the 33 00:01:36.439 --> 00:01:39.439 middle game of this series. So at the very least, 34 00:01:39.480 --> 00:01:41.560 the Dodgers should take two out of three, if not 35 00:01:41.719 --> 00:01:45.400 sweep the Marlins in this next series and head out 36 00:01:45.439 --> 00:01:49.040 on a long ten game road trip feeling good about themselves. 37 00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:51.200 And they were feeling good about themselves today. 38 00:01:51.200 --> 00:01:54.280 Trust me, Otani was joking around with me on the 39 00:01:54.319 --> 00:01:58.359 field after the game. Ta Oscar was all smiles, Paz Mookie, 40 00:01:58.400 --> 00:02:01.239 the whole team was feeling good about the way today's 41 00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:05.640 game went, especially after their starting pitcher Tyler Glass Now 42 00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:10.319 went down after throwing just seventeen pitches in the first inning. 43 00:02:10.520 --> 00:02:12.960 As he was warming up for the second inning. The 44 00:02:13.080 --> 00:02:16.479 last warm up pitch he threw, you saw him scream 45 00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:19.400 in pain as he came off the mound and we 46 00:02:19.400 --> 00:02:22.319 were all wondering, wait a minute, is that cramps again? 47 00:02:22.520 --> 00:02:23.280 It wasn't. 48 00:02:23.719 --> 00:02:26.759 It was a right shoulder discomfort is what the Dodgers 49 00:02:26.800 --> 00:02:27.560 are calling it. 50 00:02:27.800 --> 00:02:30.039 So we want to know what's going on. 51 00:02:30.240 --> 00:02:33.240 So let's head downstairs to hear from Tyler Glass now 52 00:02:33.360 --> 00:02:35.479 right now on Sports at LA. 53 00:02:36.280 --> 00:02:41.400 Yeah, just frustrated. I guess it's just just at extension 54 00:02:41.439 --> 00:02:45.159 trying to throw something grabbed. I think, just making a 55 00:02:45.159 --> 00:02:47.599 lot of changes, trying to figure out a way to 56 00:02:47.599 --> 00:02:50.759 stay healthy. I think some of the changes have had 57 00:02:50.840 --> 00:02:53.240 that other things kind of taken over, and I'm just 58 00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:55.599 at this point, I'm just trying to figure out what 59 00:02:55.680 --> 00:02:57.080 to do, and it's just extremely frustrating. 60 00:02:57.159 --> 00:02:57.759 Yeah, are you. 61 00:02:57.800 --> 00:03:00.560 Having any imaging done to kind of get a better. 62 00:03:00.439 --> 00:03:03.199 I'm not sure yet. I think we're just going to 63 00:03:03.240 --> 00:03:05.000 try and figure it out, give it some a couple 64 00:03:05.039 --> 00:03:06.400 of days and see what it is. 65 00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:07.960 But I haven't really talked to him about a plan yet. 66 00:03:08.039 --> 00:03:09.919 Did you feel that last warm up forro or have 67 00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:13.360 you been feeling it throughout the outing. It's it kind 68 00:03:13.360 --> 00:03:14.800 of comes and goes, and I think, like I said, 69 00:03:14.879 --> 00:03:16.919 just some of the adjustments I've made prior, I think 70 00:03:17.000 --> 00:03:20.280 like something I'll feel something that maybe changed something else 71 00:03:20.319 --> 00:03:22.960 in my mechanics, and it just seems like nothing. I 72 00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:25.400 surely have been connected, but it was mostly warming up 73 00:03:25.439 --> 00:03:27.840 for that second inning. It changes really the way to 74 00:03:27.879 --> 00:03:30.599 ball stuff. And this is I think mechanical stuff, like 75 00:03:30.599 --> 00:03:32.560 anytime you change something I've done for a long time 76 00:03:32.639 --> 00:03:34.400 to try to prevent an injury. I think it's just 77 00:03:34.879 --> 00:03:37.000 other things are taken over, other things are there's more 78 00:03:37.039 --> 00:03:39.840 stress in other parts. And I just said, I don't know, 79 00:03:39.879 --> 00:03:41.800 I'm just trying to I'm trying to figure it out. 80 00:03:42.080 --> 00:03:43.800 One of those things that like Dave kind of is 81 00:03:43.840 --> 00:03:44.639 aware of going in. 82 00:03:44.719 --> 00:03:46.400 That's why it kind of dropped out as quickly as 83 00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:46.599 he did. 84 00:03:47.360 --> 00:03:50.000 It had been a little thing before and it's kind 85 00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:53.520 of gone away. And I think making like subconscious changes 86 00:03:53.560 --> 00:03:55.479 over time, and it just for some reason today, all 87 00:03:55.479 --> 00:03:57.120 of a sudden that second ning, like going out and 88 00:03:57.120 --> 00:03:59.360 trying to throw that that warm up. I just think, 89 00:03:59.400 --> 00:04:01.800 like maybe probaly that too. A few the game, just 90 00:04:01.840 --> 00:04:04.759 being a little hesitant, and then I don't know, all 91 00:04:04.800 --> 00:04:06.960 of a sudden in the second ending, it like really 92 00:04:07.000 --> 00:04:08.000 I started to feel it. 93 00:04:09.960 --> 00:04:14.560 All right. That was Tyler Glass now on Sports net La. 94 00:04:14.919 --> 00:04:18.079 I was a little surprised considering that they're talking about 95 00:04:18.199 --> 00:04:22.240 right shoulder discomfort that automatically he's not going to want 96 00:04:22.319 --> 00:04:26.439 some imaging MRI something on his right shoulder to see 97 00:04:26.439 --> 00:04:28.480 what's going on. And then you hear him talk about 98 00:04:28.480 --> 00:04:33.839 how he's made some adjustments, and I don't know, can 99 00:04:33.879 --> 00:04:36.639 you translate what he said. It sounds like he just 100 00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:39.639 didn't feel right and he came out of the game. 101 00:04:40.040 --> 00:04:43.480 And I'm not going to question anybody whether they feel 102 00:04:43.480 --> 00:04:46.240 like they're injured or not. That's going over the line. 103 00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:49.199 So if he's saying he's not well enough to pitch, 104 00:04:49.319 --> 00:04:53.360 that's fine. But don't you think that after the way 105 00:04:53.399 --> 00:04:57.040 things ended last year and the way things have started 106 00:04:57.079 --> 00:05:01.199 this year, it's more than just mechanical adjustment. If there's 107 00:05:01.240 --> 00:05:05.519 a real structural issue there, I think for all parties involved, 108 00:05:06.040 --> 00:05:08.319 it would make sense to get an MRI on his 109 00:05:08.399 --> 00:05:11.480 right shoulder if that's the reason why he came out 110 00:05:11.560 --> 00:05:17.240 after only seventeen pitches today. It's just a puzzle that 111 00:05:17.839 --> 00:05:20.600 so far the Dodgers have not been able to solve 112 00:05:20.639 --> 00:05:23.759 when it comes to keeping Tyler Glass now healthy. They 113 00:05:23.800 --> 00:05:26.720 did it for twenty two starts last year, and then 114 00:05:26.759 --> 00:05:30.480 all of a sudden, things just completely went off the 115 00:05:30.600 --> 00:05:34.600 rails when Dave Roberts in Atlanta was expecting him to 116 00:05:34.639 --> 00:05:38.120 throw a simulated game and he warmed up in the 117 00:05:38.120 --> 00:05:42.120 bullpen at Turner Field, and then he walked out and 118 00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:45.600 went walked into the dugout and walked into the clubhouse 119 00:05:45.639 --> 00:05:48.399 and that was the end of his season. Nobody's really 120 00:05:48.560 --> 00:05:53.759 explained that, either, including Tyler, and then he never had 121 00:05:53.800 --> 00:05:57.319 any surgery to correct whatever shut him down for the 122 00:05:57.360 --> 00:06:00.839 rest of the season and the postseason, and he seemed 123 00:06:00.839 --> 00:06:06.399 like a normal starting pitcher in spring training. And now 124 00:06:06.480 --> 00:06:10.279 we're at this point again where when he's explaining what's 125 00:06:10.319 --> 00:06:12.959 going on, it just doesn't make sense. 126 00:06:13.199 --> 00:06:13.759 I'm sorry. 127 00:06:14.079 --> 00:06:17.480 Maybe I'm not smart enough to understand, but it doesn't 128 00:06:17.519 --> 00:06:21.279 make sense. Maybe Dave Roberts can help us understand. Let's 129 00:06:21.319 --> 00:06:23.079 head downstairs to hear from the manager. 130 00:06:24.199 --> 00:06:30.480 Long term concern probably not, I think short term, just 131 00:06:30.560 --> 00:06:43.240 trying to find some consistency, obviously availability, how he's feeling mechanically, physically, 132 00:06:43.279 --> 00:06:48.560 whatever it might be. There's concern there. What happens in 133 00:06:48.600 --> 00:06:52.040 the coming days, I don't know right now. I think 134 00:06:52.040 --> 00:06:55.560 in the next couple of days we'll have some more 135 00:06:55.600 --> 00:06:59.720 answers to kind of see where we go short term, 136 00:07:00.560 --> 00:07:02.079 but you know, we're. 137 00:07:01.959 --> 00:07:10.439 All frustrated potentially. 138 00:07:10.959 --> 00:07:13.040 I mean, he's had some a lot of imaging, but 139 00:07:13.120 --> 00:07:16.519 if there's more imaging, I'm not sure. I'll let the 140 00:07:16.600 --> 00:07:22.120 training staff and the doctor's handle that. That's certainly a possibility. 141 00:07:23.399 --> 00:07:25.040 You know, we got to get him to a place 142 00:07:25.079 --> 00:07:29.920 where we feel he feels that when he takes the mound, 143 00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:32.319 he can go out there and you know, be the 144 00:07:32.360 --> 00:07:36.639 guy that he's capable of being. And you know, until 145 00:07:36.639 --> 00:07:38.759 we get to that point, I think that the I 146 00:07:39.000 --> 00:07:40.240 L is certainly a conversation. 147 00:07:40.360 --> 00:07:40.560 Yeah. 148 00:07:41.199 --> 00:07:43.480 Yeah, well you've talked about just offensively like kind of 149 00:07:43.639 --> 00:07:45.600 sometimes guys just mentally in Korea. 150 00:07:45.920 --> 00:07:48.120 Is that also the case sometimes for pictures? 151 00:07:48.279 --> 00:07:50.879 That could that be something with him just you know, 152 00:07:51.040 --> 00:07:53.199 needing to kind of find that space mentally to kind 153 00:07:53.240 --> 00:07:55.240 of know that he can be the stuff. 154 00:07:55.000 --> 00:07:55.439 Can be there. 155 00:07:55.439 --> 00:07:59.120 Again, it doesn't work. 156 00:08:00.720 --> 00:08:05.680 Well, it's just with with Tyler. It's hard because. 157 00:08:07.040 --> 00:08:14.360 You know, but not feeling good the past injuries, you know, 158 00:08:15.040 --> 00:08:17.600 how his bodies not synced up, the mechanics of it. 159 00:08:17.720 --> 00:08:20.279 There's a lot of different pieces that you're trying to 160 00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:24.480 suss out to put him in the right mental place 161 00:08:24.519 --> 00:08:28.360 to perform, and so we haven't got there. We're not there, 162 00:08:29.000 --> 00:08:33.320 and so I don't know the solution right now, but 163 00:08:33.440 --> 00:08:36.679 we've got to kind of number one, make sure he's healthy. 164 00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:41.120 And then kind of go from there. As you know, 165 00:08:41.320 --> 00:08:44.120 his shoulder was an issue, not at all, not at all. 166 00:08:46.120 --> 00:08:51.039 I saw Tyler out there shaking his arm and you know, 167 00:08:52.080 --> 00:08:54.759 you know, in between the warm up pitches into the 168 00:08:54.799 --> 00:08:56.720 second inning, and then at that point in time, I 169 00:08:56.840 --> 00:08:59.639 wasn't going to have him keep continue to pitch. 170 00:09:00.840 --> 00:09:04.600 All right, there's manager Dave Roberts, very measured with his 171 00:09:04.799 --> 00:09:07.039 words and basically fit to be tied. 172 00:09:07.399 --> 00:09:10.240 He has no answers for this guy right now. 173 00:09:10.559 --> 00:09:16.360 I mean basically he's saying that, you know, it's basically mental. 174 00:09:17.120 --> 00:09:20.440 And ever since spring training began, the Dodgers have been 175 00:09:20.559 --> 00:09:24.240 preaching to Tyler Glass now, just because you don't feel 176 00:09:24.279 --> 00:09:26.799 like everything is perfect doesn't mean you can't go out 177 00:09:26.840 --> 00:09:29.919 there and compete. And I feel like when Dave Roberts 178 00:09:29.919 --> 00:09:33.639 says everybody's frustrated, it feels like that's where it stems from. 179 00:09:34.360 --> 00:09:39.440 And you can't keep putting the bullpen in a precarious position. 180 00:09:40.159 --> 00:09:43.159 There are other games that Tyler Glass now doesn't pitch 181 00:09:43.240 --> 00:09:47.039 that the Dodgers need the bullpen now. Tomorrow, the onus 182 00:09:47.320 --> 00:09:50.039 is on Dustin May to go deeper in the game 183 00:09:50.080 --> 00:09:54.360 against the Marlins because today essentially was a bullpen game. 184 00:09:54.840 --> 00:09:57.480 And is it really fair to Ben Casparius, a rookie 185 00:09:58.159 --> 00:10:02.039 who's not making nearly even a tenth of what Tyler 186 00:10:02.120 --> 00:10:05.240 Glass now is guaranteed from the Dodgers, to come out 187 00:10:05.279 --> 00:10:08.639 here and pick him up every fifth day. That's not 188 00:10:08.840 --> 00:10:12.879 fair to his teammates. I'm sorry, somebody's got to stand 189 00:10:12.960 --> 00:10:15.000 up for the other guys that are making minimum wage 190 00:10:15.039 --> 00:10:17.720 on this team compared to a guy that was guaranteed 191 00:10:17.840 --> 00:10:21.519 over one hundred and thirty something million dollars. If things 192 00:10:21.600 --> 00:10:26.679 don't feel great, you've got to pitch through it. And look, 193 00:10:26.879 --> 00:10:29.919 like I said, I'm not questioning whether or not he 194 00:10:30.080 --> 00:10:32.559 was hurt or not. That's way over the line. So 195 00:10:32.759 --> 00:10:35.399 if he said he wasn't feeling right and he was 196 00:10:35.480 --> 00:10:39.399 concerned physically, that's one thing. But if things the way 197 00:10:39.519 --> 00:10:43.679 Dave Roberts described it sounded like, you know, it's more 198 00:10:43.759 --> 00:10:48.360 than just physical. And for the Dodgers as a whole. 199 00:10:48.480 --> 00:10:50.799 Like I said, you can't have Tyler Glass now go 200 00:10:50.879 --> 00:10:53.039 out there and tell you yeah, I'm good, and then 201 00:10:53.080 --> 00:10:55.360 he only goes out there for an inning, or only 202 00:10:55.440 --> 00:10:57.000 three innings, or only four innings. 203 00:10:57.440 --> 00:10:59.360 That's just not fair to the rest of the team. 204 00:10:59.399 --> 00:11:01.279 It's not fair to the rest of the bullpen. 205 00:11:02.639 --> 00:11:05.120 Tyler Glass now, in two years with the Dodgers, has 206 00:11:05.200 --> 00:11:07.279 only thrown one hundred and fifty two innings. 207 00:11:07.919 --> 00:11:09.480 This year, he's only thrown eighteen. 208 00:11:10.799 --> 00:11:14.919 As a whole, the Dodger starters have only thrown one 209 00:11:15.039 --> 00:11:17.200 hundred and twenty five and two thirds innings. 210 00:11:17.799 --> 00:11:19.360 That's the fewest in baseball. 211 00:11:20.200 --> 00:11:23.240 Their relievers have thrown the most innings of anybody else 212 00:11:23.279 --> 00:11:25.519 in baseball, one hundred and twenty one. 213 00:11:26.120 --> 00:11:26.919 And it's not like the. 214 00:11:26.960 --> 00:11:29.720 Dodgers are going to have starters throw two hundred innings. 215 00:11:29.799 --> 00:11:33.039 That's not what I'm talking about. But you can't put 216 00:11:33.120 --> 00:11:36.440 your bullpen in this position. And yeah, he should go 217 00:11:36.480 --> 00:11:39.919 on the il until he figures out what's going on 218 00:11:40.159 --> 00:11:43.480 physically and mentally, so he doesn't put his team in 219 00:11:43.559 --> 00:11:46.240 a bad spot, not only the day he pitches, but 220 00:11:46.360 --> 00:11:47.360 the three days after. 221 00:11:48.600 --> 00:11:49.159 It's a team. 222 00:11:49.879 --> 00:11:52.960 It's not just about Tyler glass now. Eight six six 223 00:11:53.120 --> 00:11:55.639 nine eighty seven two five seventy is the phone number. 224 00:11:56.039 --> 00:11:59.840 Despite all that, the Dodgers won nine to two thanks 225 00:11:59.840 --> 00:12:03.519 to the offense, and don't let anybody tell you anything differently. 226 00:12:04.120 --> 00:12:06.399 Last year's World Series run had a lot to do 227 00:12:06.600 --> 00:12:09.120 with the bullpen, but it had even more to do 228 00:12:09.240 --> 00:12:11.639 with their offense. And when their offense is hitting on 229 00:12:11.720 --> 00:12:15.519 all cylinders, they can overcome their starter going only one 230 00:12:15.600 --> 00:12:17.960 inning like they did today. It was a big day 231 00:12:18.039 --> 00:12:21.279 for Andy Pa has a career high four RBIs, tied 232 00:12:21.320 --> 00:12:23.559 a career high four hits, a two run home run. 233 00:12:23.919 --> 00:12:25.600 He had ten hits in three games. 234 00:12:25.960 --> 00:12:29.639 Ta Oscar Hernandez, who is a great teammate, hit his 235 00:12:29.759 --> 00:12:32.600 two hundredth home run and he seemed even more excited 236 00:12:32.960 --> 00:12:35.840 for Poz his home run. That's the type of guy 237 00:12:36.000 --> 00:12:39.840 Taoscar Hernandez is, and that's why everybody loves him and 238 00:12:39.960 --> 00:12:42.639 that's why it was vital for the Dodgers to bring 239 00:12:42.759 --> 00:12:45.639 him back. Eight six six nine eight seven two five 240 00:12:45.799 --> 00:12:48.960 seventy is the phone number. Let's go out to Riverside Ish. 241 00:12:49.279 --> 00:12:50.200 You're on Dodger Talk. 242 00:12:50.279 --> 00:12:53.200 Hi, Ish, Hey, David, what's up man? 243 00:12:53.240 --> 00:12:53.759 How's it going? 244 00:12:53.919 --> 00:12:54.120 Dude? 245 00:12:54.360 --> 00:12:54.879 How you being. 246 00:12:56.879 --> 00:12:57.399 Well good ish? 247 00:12:57.440 --> 00:13:00.759 What do you got? All right? So I just want 248 00:13:00.759 --> 00:13:02.799 to unpack it a little bit, you know, you know, 249 00:13:03.240 --> 00:13:05.320 basically have two questions pack it. 250 00:13:05.399 --> 00:13:07.159 We need a hot take. What do you got for us? 251 00:13:07.200 --> 00:13:11.279 What's your opinion on We don't need ish from Riverside 252 00:13:11.320 --> 00:13:12.240 to unpack anything. 253 00:13:14.159 --> 00:13:14.559 I love it. 254 00:13:14.679 --> 00:13:17.000 I love it all right. So here's the bill to 255 00:13:17.080 --> 00:13:19.679 your point about the bullpen. Yes, I'm looking at Banda 256 00:13:20.399 --> 00:13:23.039 to say Banda three and oh, Caspira's three and oh. 257 00:13:23.200 --> 00:13:26.120 With the exception of like Yamamoto, it's pretty much the 258 00:13:26.200 --> 00:13:29.879 bullpen that they've got their leading the pitching staff in 259 00:13:30.080 --> 00:13:34.000 like wins. So I guess my question is like in 260 00:13:34.159 --> 00:13:36.200 a in a in a overall, I know it's just April, 261 00:13:36.279 --> 00:13:38.360 it's gonna be a long season, but I'm looking at 262 00:13:38.399 --> 00:13:40.960 like hits her up, walks her up, like what is 263 00:13:41.080 --> 00:13:42.200 going on now this? 264 00:13:42.559 --> 00:13:42.840 David? 265 00:13:42.919 --> 00:13:45.399 This ties into one of the main reasons I was 266 00:13:45.480 --> 00:13:48.600 calling about Tyler Glasnal. So he said something in his 267 00:13:48.720 --> 00:13:52.480 interview about having to make some adjustments and things like 268 00:13:52.559 --> 00:13:56.480 this to prevent injuries. To me, that sounds very systemic, systematic, right, 269 00:13:57.000 --> 00:14:00.600 So I guess the question for you is can we 270 00:14:00.639 --> 00:14:02.480 get some more information on that. I mean, is there 271 00:14:02.960 --> 00:14:04.759 you know what The. 272 00:14:04.879 --> 00:14:08.679 Information is that his whole career has been injury plagued. 273 00:14:09.039 --> 00:14:10.320 This is not a new thing. 274 00:14:11.679 --> 00:14:14.279 His whole career. When he's on the mound, he's great. 275 00:14:14.399 --> 00:14:18.200 When he's on the mound, he's great. But availability is 276 00:14:18.279 --> 00:14:21.080 a huge part of being a major league pitcher, and 277 00:14:21.279 --> 00:14:24.000 his availability has not been there consistently. 278 00:14:24.840 --> 00:14:25.759 So that's the issue. 279 00:14:26.159 --> 00:14:28.879 I mean, I can't get it doesn't even sound like 280 00:14:28.960 --> 00:14:32.240 his manager can get into what's going on. It didn't 281 00:14:32.320 --> 00:14:35.320 sound like Dave Roberts had any idea. It's sounded like 282 00:14:35.679 --> 00:14:38.159 they've done imaging, They've tried to look at things. It 283 00:14:38.320 --> 00:14:42.360 just seems like, obviously the Dodgers have to get Tyler 284 00:14:42.440 --> 00:14:46.639 Glass now to buy into whatever they're trying to get 285 00:14:46.720 --> 00:14:50.000 him to do as a pitcher to try to remain healthy, 286 00:14:50.600 --> 00:14:53.039 and so far it hasn't worked. And a lot of that, 287 00:14:53.279 --> 00:14:55.480 you know, there's only so much the Dodgers can do. 288 00:14:56.320 --> 00:14:59.120 It's something that Tyler has to buy into and believe 289 00:14:59.200 --> 00:15:02.159 that when and he gets into that wind up and 290 00:15:02.320 --> 00:15:06.039 he's going to fire on all cylinders, that he's gonna 291 00:15:06.039 --> 00:15:06.480 be okay. 292 00:15:07.440 --> 00:15:09.039 It's not going to fall apart on him. 293 00:15:09.200 --> 00:15:14.039 And look, it's a very sensitive subject because, like I said, 294 00:15:14.120 --> 00:15:16.399 I'm not going to question whether or not Tyler glass 295 00:15:16.440 --> 00:15:20.799 Now was hurt today. Obviously there was something, and Dave 296 00:15:20.919 --> 00:15:24.240 Roberts didn't question that either. But the Dodgers have done 297 00:15:24.360 --> 00:15:29.679 extensive testing. So until they can get some answers, whether 298 00:15:29.759 --> 00:15:33.000 it's mental and physical, uh, I don't believe they should 299 00:15:33.000 --> 00:15:34.120 throw him out there in five. 300 00:15:34.080 --> 00:15:34.639 Days from now. 301 00:15:35.080 --> 00:15:37.360 You can't afford to have Tyler Glass Now go out 302 00:15:37.399 --> 00:15:39.799 there and only pitch three or four innings and then 303 00:15:39.879 --> 00:15:41.440 come out of the game with an injury. 304 00:15:41.600 --> 00:15:42.240 You just can't. 305 00:15:43.120 --> 00:15:45.799 Eight six six, nine eighty seven, two five seventy is 306 00:15:45.840 --> 00:15:49.200 the phone number. Let's go out to Bakersfield, Jose, You're 307 00:15:49.279 --> 00:15:50.039 on Dodger Talk. 308 00:15:50.080 --> 00:15:50.840 How you doing, Jose? 309 00:15:51.159 --> 00:15:51.799 Hey, what's up? 310 00:15:52.080 --> 00:15:52.519 What's up? 311 00:15:52.600 --> 00:15:52.799 David? 312 00:15:52.799 --> 00:15:53.200 Hey, David. 313 00:15:53.240 --> 00:15:54.279 I'll get straight to the point. 314 00:15:54.519 --> 00:15:54.799 Guys. 315 00:15:55.039 --> 00:15:58.960 It's something that fans the organization. We all knew what 316 00:15:59.240 --> 00:16:04.039 Dodger's getting in before they signed Tyler. We can't complain 317 00:16:04.120 --> 00:16:07.559 too much about that, David. He was always injury prone, 318 00:16:08.039 --> 00:16:10.559 he was in Tapa, so I mean, he just I 319 00:16:10.600 --> 00:16:12.759 guess you just gotta lay off of him just a 320 00:16:12.840 --> 00:16:16.320 little bit. But the way Dave Roberts sounded right now, 321 00:16:17.200 --> 00:16:20.080 it almost seems like David was at a funeral, so. 322 00:16:20.600 --> 00:16:24.639 I think was just trying to measure his words. I 323 00:16:24.720 --> 00:16:28.120 think it sounded like a frustrated manager that wasn't going to, 324 00:16:28.480 --> 00:16:31.200 you know, sit there in front of the media and 325 00:16:31.440 --> 00:16:33.840 rip his own picture right. 326 00:16:33.919 --> 00:16:36.000 No, no, no no, And I get that completely. 327 00:16:36.960 --> 00:16:39.639 But as a fan, they we're looking at it a 328 00:16:39.679 --> 00:16:41.639 little bit different. You know, you don't know the whole 329 00:16:41.679 --> 00:16:45.000 scoop of the information going on. Fine, I will say this, 330 00:16:45.679 --> 00:16:47.200 I've been saying this at the beginning. 331 00:16:47.679 --> 00:16:47.799 Uh. 332 00:16:48.600 --> 00:16:51.080 I mentioned the last time we talked at the starters. 333 00:16:51.879 --> 00:16:54.240 I mean they can't do this all heated, David. I 334 00:16:54.320 --> 00:16:56.759 mean that that Bulten, the Bulton's going to get eventually 335 00:16:56.799 --> 00:16:59.080 attacked and it's gonna bite us back in the bus 336 00:16:59.480 --> 00:16:59.720 right now. 337 00:16:59.759 --> 00:17:00.720 It's early in the season. 338 00:17:00.799 --> 00:17:03.679 But we'll see how he turns fire. Hopefully, you know, 339 00:17:04.319 --> 00:17:07.440 Dodgers can hopefully make a couple of more booms to 340 00:17:07.519 --> 00:17:10.359 get the more starting patient because that's the last thing 341 00:17:10.400 --> 00:17:12.720 that we need is for Chale glasses with Blake Snell. 342 00:17:12.839 --> 00:17:13.799 Right now, they're on the shop. 343 00:17:13.920 --> 00:17:16.759 So's man Deleta make it. 344 00:17:16.759 --> 00:17:19.599 So baby, you take care all right, Hose, thanks for 345 00:17:19.680 --> 00:17:22.640 the phone call. Yeah, you know. Obviously, coming into the season, 346 00:17:22.799 --> 00:17:23.920 the Dodgers. 347 00:17:23.599 --> 00:17:26.160 Wanted to try to avoid what took place last year 348 00:17:26.240 --> 00:17:29.000 with so many injuries to their starting pitching, and so 349 00:17:29.279 --> 00:17:32.039 far it hasn't worked out with the two former Rays, 350 00:17:32.279 --> 00:17:36.200 Blake Snell and Tyler Glassnell. Now, Blake Snell was going 351 00:17:36.240 --> 00:17:39.839 to receive, or if he already hasn't, received, a quarterzone 352 00:17:39.880 --> 00:17:42.680 injection to try to loosen up that stiff left shoulder, 353 00:17:43.240 --> 00:17:45.839 and there's no reason to push something like that when 354 00:17:45.920 --> 00:17:48.559 you could try to give it some rest, get the 355 00:17:48.640 --> 00:17:51.160 inflammation out of there, and then have Snell back. 356 00:17:51.559 --> 00:17:54.519 Now, the reality of all that, though, is that Snell 357 00:17:54.640 --> 00:17:55.640 is basically. 358 00:17:55.319 --> 00:17:59.039 Starting from square one in his throwing program, meaning he's 359 00:17:59.079 --> 00:18:01.119 not going to be back in a major league game 360 00:18:01.240 --> 00:18:04.640 for at least a month. So that's where things stand 361 00:18:04.680 --> 00:18:08.119 with Blake'snell. The good news is and I was gonna 362 00:18:08.160 --> 00:18:10.880 save this for next segment, but it's part of what 363 00:18:11.000 --> 00:18:14.640 we're discussing here. Tony Gonsolin, who made his last rehab 364 00:18:14.759 --> 00:18:18.359 start in Oklahoma City last week, he's lined up if 365 00:18:18.440 --> 00:18:20.799 you went for five days from the last time he 366 00:18:20.920 --> 00:18:25.200 made a start to start Tuesday's game against the Marlins, 367 00:18:25.279 --> 00:18:29.680 so they are getting some reinforcements. And also Clayton Kershaw, 368 00:18:30.160 --> 00:18:33.039 he is going to start on Tuesday in Oklahoma City. 369 00:18:33.359 --> 00:18:36.920 Now Kershaw's on the sixty day IL. He's not able 370 00:18:37.000 --> 00:18:41.640 to even be activated until May seventeenth.
