1
00:00:01.520 --> 00:00:06.480
<v Speaker 1>One thing about this gene is the invisible and tangibles

2
00:00:06.480 --> 00:00:06.879
<v Speaker 1>that they have.

3
00:00:07.160 --> 00:00:09.400
<v Speaker 2>This team is really becoming a family.

4
00:00:09.640 --> 00:00:12.679
<v Speaker 3>Let's not play one on Tom. Let's I love writing me.

<v Speaker 7>He put a small soft time they get up people

10
00:00:23.399 --> 00:00:24.039
<v Speaker 7>what they want to.

11
00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:26.000
<v Speaker 5>Die to in a row two is special.

12
00:00:26.039 --> 00:00:27.320
<v Speaker 3>I'm like, yeah, it's not a headache.

13
00:00:28.640 --> 00:00:29.359
<v Speaker 7>One of a con.

14
00:00:30.239 --> 00:00:31.359
<v Speaker 5>This ball's gone.

15
00:00:31.839 --> 00:00:34.240
<v Speaker 7>You ready to go? Sure? Hell old time, go to

<v Speaker 6>Grab your phone to get in on the show called

18
00:00:37.439 --> 00:00:40.399
<v Speaker 6>eight six six nine eighty seven two five seven and

19
00:00:40.600 --> 00:00:43.719
<v Speaker 6>go to the show. And now your host of Dodger Talk,

20
00:00:44.280 --> 00:00:45.479
<v Speaker 6>David Vasse.

21
00:00:47.039 --> 00:00:51.200
<v Speaker 7>Welcome the Dodger Talk. David Basse with you until eleven

22
00:00:51.200 --> 00:00:54.560
<v Speaker 7>o'clock tonight at eight six six nine eight seven two

23
00:00:54.679 --> 00:00:58.640
<v Speaker 7>five seventy. The Dodgers defeat the White Sox tonight by

24
00:00:58.679 --> 00:01:02.359
<v Speaker 7>a final score of six to one behind a really

25
00:01:02.399 --> 00:01:07.120
<v Speaker 7>good performance from Yamamoto, who went seven innings tonight and

26
00:01:07.239 --> 00:01:11.280
<v Speaker 7>had eight strikeouts, allowing just one urn run and only

27
00:01:11.359 --> 00:01:14.760
<v Speaker 7>walked one batter, which allowed him to throw ninety eight

28
00:01:14.799 --> 00:01:19.480
<v Speaker 7>pitches in seven innings. Yamamoto has done that three times

29
00:01:19.519 --> 00:01:22.599
<v Speaker 7>this year for the Dodgers, and three out of the

30
00:01:22.640 --> 00:01:26.560
<v Speaker 7>four times a Dodgers starter has gone seven innings, it's

31
00:01:26.599 --> 00:01:30.799
<v Speaker 7>been Yamamoto. The other was Clayton Kershaw on the last

32
00:01:30.799 --> 00:01:35.799
<v Speaker 7>home stand against the Giants. So Yamamoto has been outstanding.

33
00:01:35.840 --> 00:01:37.760
<v Speaker 7>I know there's been a couple of bumps in the

34
00:01:37.879 --> 00:01:40.959
<v Speaker 7>road last month, but for the most part, he's been

35
00:01:41.120 --> 00:01:44.400
<v Speaker 7>really good for the Dodgers since the beginning of the season.

36
00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:48.400
<v Speaker 7>And if you look at Yamamoto's last start in Denver,

37
00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:51.400
<v Speaker 7>he should have been well rested for this game, and

38
00:01:51.439 --> 00:01:54.640
<v Speaker 7>he should have been expected to go seven innings, if

39
00:01:54.680 --> 00:01:58.760
<v Speaker 7>not go eight, because he was washed out after five

40
00:01:58.879 --> 00:02:02.799
<v Speaker 7>scoreless in Denver because of an hour plus rain delay.

41
00:02:03.000 --> 00:02:06.280
<v Speaker 7>So he with the extra day of rest, with his

42
00:02:06.840 --> 00:02:10.879
<v Speaker 7>last start going short, I mean, I was expecting this.

43
00:02:11.080 --> 00:02:15.360
<v Speaker 7>Anything short of this would have been disappointing. So basically,

44
00:02:15.479 --> 00:02:19.199
<v Speaker 7>Yamamoto did his job tonight. And he's fun to watch

45
00:02:19.479 --> 00:02:24.560
<v Speaker 7>because he may only grip his pitches two different ways,

46
00:02:25.039 --> 00:02:28.360
<v Speaker 7>but he certainly shapes them in a lot of different ways.

47
00:02:29.080 --> 00:02:33.280
<v Speaker 7>He's got the fastball, obviously, he's got the split fingered fastball.

48
00:02:33.560 --> 00:02:36.319
<v Speaker 7>He's got the curveball, he's got the cutter, he's got

49
00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:39.400
<v Speaker 7>the two seam fastball, and he only threw his slider

50
00:02:39.479 --> 00:02:43.400
<v Speaker 7>twice tonight. So it's fun to watch him pitch because

51
00:02:43.479 --> 00:02:47.960
<v Speaker 7>he's not just using brute force to beat hitters. He's

52
00:02:48.000 --> 00:02:52.400
<v Speaker 7>actually pitching and throwing ninety six and then taking something

53
00:02:52.479 --> 00:02:56.280
<v Speaker 7>off or just dotting the inside or the outside part

54
00:02:56.280 --> 00:03:00.719
<v Speaker 7>of the plates. He's really fun to watch, and certainly

55
00:03:00.759 --> 00:03:03.159
<v Speaker 7>it was fun to watch him pitch tonight and give

56
00:03:03.199 --> 00:03:06.759
<v Speaker 7>the White Sox more than they can handle, because the

57
00:03:06.800 --> 00:03:10.000
<v Speaker 7>White Sox are the worst team record wise in the

58
00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:14.800
<v Speaker 7>American League. Again. They set the record for most losses

59
00:03:14.840 --> 00:03:18.240
<v Speaker 7>in a season in baseball history last year with one

60
00:03:18.360 --> 00:03:22.360
<v Speaker 7>hundred and twenty one, which sets up nicely for Clayton

61
00:03:22.439 --> 00:03:25.919
<v Speaker 7>Kershaw tomorrow night, as he is on the verge of

62
00:03:26.000 --> 00:03:30.199
<v Speaker 7>three thousand strikeouts in his career. And if you look

63
00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:34.000
<v Speaker 7>at Kershaw, it's one thing to have three thousand strikeouts,

64
00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:38.479
<v Speaker 7>and yes, he is going to join a very distinguished

65
00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:43.560
<v Speaker 7>list of Hall of Famers and great pitchers in baseball history.

66
00:03:44.159 --> 00:03:47.280
<v Speaker 7>But when you look at Kershawn, how many innings and

67
00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:51.120
<v Speaker 7>I know he's been self deprecating saying that it's taking

68
00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:54.400
<v Speaker 7>longer than he thought it would. And it's true. If

69
00:03:54.439 --> 00:03:59.120
<v Speaker 7>he didn't have these significant injuries, he probably would have

70
00:03:59.199 --> 00:04:03.240
<v Speaker 7>been there to or three years ago. But even with

71
00:04:03.360 --> 00:04:06.319
<v Speaker 7>all that being said, at this point in time, he's

72
00:04:06.360 --> 00:04:10.199
<v Speaker 7>only thrown two thousand, seven hundred and eighty one innings

73
00:04:10.479 --> 00:04:14.120
<v Speaker 7>and he's three strikeouts away from three thousand. The guy

74
00:04:14.199 --> 00:04:18.040
<v Speaker 7>that's right ahead of him at three thousand and eighty

75
00:04:18.120 --> 00:04:24.279
<v Speaker 7>four strikeouts, John Smoltz. It took him over three thousand

76
00:04:24.480 --> 00:04:28.959
<v Speaker 7>innings to get three thousand strikeouts. Thirty four hundred seventy

77
00:04:29.000 --> 00:04:32.160
<v Speaker 7>three innings pitch for Smoltz, and he has three thousand

78
00:04:32.199 --> 00:04:35.399
<v Speaker 7>and eighty four. So just keep that in mind as

79
00:04:35.439 --> 00:04:39.439
<v Speaker 7>well if you're listening to the game tomorrow night, or

80
00:04:39.480 --> 00:04:43.199
<v Speaker 7>if you're here at Dodgers Stadium. Kershaw Yes is going

81
00:04:43.279 --> 00:04:47.319
<v Speaker 7>to join a nineteen other pitchers in baseball history that

82
00:04:47.480 --> 00:04:52.199
<v Speaker 7>have recorded three thousand strikeouts in their career. But he

83
00:04:52.319 --> 00:04:55.360
<v Speaker 7>has done it quicker and in less innings than these

84
00:04:55.439 --> 00:05:01.439
<v Speaker 7>other pitchers. His strikeouts per nine is at in his career,

85
00:05:01.959 --> 00:05:04.360
<v Speaker 7>a lot of these guys are at like six or

86
00:05:04.519 --> 00:05:07.839
<v Speaker 7>seven strikeouts per nine innings, So you know, you look

87
00:05:07.879 --> 00:05:10.279
<v Speaker 7>at a guy like Phil nkro who's thirteenth on the

88
00:05:10.319 --> 00:05:14.160
<v Speaker 7>list all time took him over five thousand innings. I mean,

89
00:05:14.160 --> 00:05:16.800
<v Speaker 7>he's had fifty four hundred innings and has thirty three

90
00:05:16.920 --> 00:05:19.879
<v Speaker 7>hundred strikeouts. So you got to keep that in mind

91
00:05:19.920 --> 00:05:23.360
<v Speaker 7>as well, that he is doing this quicker than most

92
00:05:23.399 --> 00:05:27.839
<v Speaker 7>of these pictures on this list, and that I mean,

93
00:05:27.920 --> 00:05:31.600
<v Speaker 7>obviously he's a Hall of Fame pitcher. But in my mind,

94
00:05:32.079 --> 00:05:35.319
<v Speaker 7>and I've never been to Cooperstown, but in my Hall

95
00:05:35.360 --> 00:05:39.000
<v Speaker 7>of Fame mind, the way I envision it, there is

96
00:05:39.120 --> 00:05:42.920
<v Speaker 7>the elite of the elite in Cooperstown and there's the rest.

97
00:05:42.959 --> 00:05:45.839
<v Speaker 7>I mean to me, there's at least two or three

98
00:05:45.920 --> 00:05:49.360
<v Speaker 7>tiers now in the Hall of Fame. And when Clayton

99
00:05:49.480 --> 00:05:54.199
<v Speaker 7>Krushaw makes his speech in Cooperstown one day, he's gonna

100
00:05:54.240 --> 00:05:56.920
<v Speaker 7>be in Tier one in my mind. And I'm not

101
00:05:57.000 --> 00:06:00.720
<v Speaker 7>just saying that because I host Dodger and I've been

102
00:06:00.759 --> 00:06:04.319
<v Speaker 7>around him for his entire career. I'm saying that because

103
00:06:04.319 --> 00:06:07.759
<v Speaker 7>that's the facts, Jack. And you know, now they let

104
00:06:07.800 --> 00:06:10.079
<v Speaker 7>guys like Harold Baines in, So I mean, come on,

105
00:06:10.519 --> 00:06:14.439
<v Speaker 7>Bill Mazeroski, I mean, give me a break. So in

106
00:06:14.480 --> 00:06:17.639
<v Speaker 7>my mind there are different tiers, and I know it's

107
00:06:17.680 --> 00:06:21.120
<v Speaker 7>so LA right. You get into an exclusive club and

108
00:06:21.160 --> 00:06:23.319
<v Speaker 7>you're like, wait a minute, this isn't what I thought

109
00:06:23.360 --> 00:06:25.879
<v Speaker 7>it would be. No, No, there's another rope right there,

110
00:06:26.279 --> 00:06:28.879
<v Speaker 7>and then you're behind that rope and you're like, uh wait,

111
00:06:29.040 --> 00:06:31.600
<v Speaker 7>I'm not in that tier either. I got to go

112
00:06:31.720 --> 00:06:34.279
<v Speaker 7>to the other bouncer to try to get into the best,

113
00:06:34.319 --> 00:06:38.959
<v Speaker 7>best part of the nightclub, the rooftop bar. That's Kershaw.

114
00:06:39.279 --> 00:06:43.040
<v Speaker 7>He's behind that big rope that you're not going to sniff.

115
00:06:43.439 --> 00:06:46.360
<v Speaker 7>Eight six six, nine eighty seven, two five seventy is

116
00:06:46.399 --> 00:06:49.639
<v Speaker 7>the phone number. It is really special that it's going

117
00:06:49.680 --> 00:06:53.160
<v Speaker 7>to happen tomorrow night here at Dodgers Stadium. It better happened,

118
00:06:53.639 --> 00:06:55.879
<v Speaker 7>or my All Star Break plans with my family is

119
00:06:55.920 --> 00:06:58.839
<v Speaker 7>going to be train wrecked. You know, at least I'll

120
00:06:58.879 --> 00:07:01.439
<v Speaker 7>go to Milwaukee and then find a way back to

121
00:07:01.680 --> 00:07:04.720
<v Speaker 7>LA and then take my family out of town. It's

122
00:07:04.759 --> 00:07:07.639
<v Speaker 7>just making things a lot more difficult. But I fully,

123
00:07:08.480 --> 00:07:11.160
<v Speaker 7>I am very confident that Kershaw is going to be

124
00:07:11.240 --> 00:07:14.759
<v Speaker 7>able to strike out three White Sox hitters tomorrow night.

125
00:07:15.199 --> 00:07:17.279
<v Speaker 7>And that's what it's about. It's not about me. It's

126
00:07:17.279 --> 00:07:20.160
<v Speaker 7>about him, it's about his record, it's about his milestone.

127
00:07:20.720 --> 00:07:23.399
<v Speaker 7>And I will go as far as saying I won't

128
00:07:23.480 --> 00:07:26.839
<v Speaker 7>name this former teammate's name because I don't want to

129
00:07:26.959 --> 00:07:30.680
<v Speaker 7>jinx anything tomorrow night. But one of his former rotation

130
00:07:30.879 --> 00:07:34.480
<v Speaker 7>mates called me today and said, not only is Kershaw

131
00:07:34.600 --> 00:07:37.680
<v Speaker 7>going to get those three strikeouts, He's gonna get them

132
00:07:37.720 --> 00:07:41.399
<v Speaker 7>in the first inning. He predicted striking out the side

133
00:07:41.439 --> 00:07:44.720
<v Speaker 7>in order in the first inning tomorrow night to get

134
00:07:44.759 --> 00:07:48.639
<v Speaker 7>that three thousand strikeout. How about that? How about that?

135
00:07:49.480 --> 00:07:52.319
<v Speaker 7>Eight six, six, nine, eight seven two five seventy is

136
00:07:52.360 --> 00:07:55.240
<v Speaker 7>the phone number Max months. He has gotten hot in

137
00:07:55.279 --> 00:07:58.519
<v Speaker 7>his last forty games. He has been amazing. But on

138
00:07:58.560 --> 00:08:03.000
<v Speaker 7>this last road trip, Mike Conforto unveiled a new bat

139
00:08:03.040 --> 00:08:06.560
<v Speaker 7>that he was specially fitted for and it looks like

140
00:08:06.639 --> 00:08:09.279
<v Speaker 7>it's made a big difference from what I understand. It's

141
00:08:09.319 --> 00:08:12.560
<v Speaker 7>a lighter bat and that's a big deal. And also

142
00:08:12.839 --> 00:08:15.800
<v Speaker 7>the dead fish handshake with Michael Conforto took place that

143
00:08:15.920 --> 00:08:18.759
<v Speaker 7>first day in Denver, and then tonight he was part

144
00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:22.120
<v Speaker 7>of that four run, two out rally to give Yamamoto

145
00:08:22.160 --> 00:08:24.920
<v Speaker 7>an early four to nothing lead. Tonight we caught up

146
00:08:24.959 --> 00:08:26.480
<v Speaker 7>with CONFORDO after the game.

147
00:08:26.800 --> 00:08:28.480
<v Speaker 5>No, it hasn't. It feels great.

148
00:08:28.600 --> 00:08:28.800
<v Speaker 3>You know.

149
00:08:28.839 --> 00:08:31.920
<v Speaker 1>Obviously, Amas goes out there and gives us a great,

150
00:08:32.120 --> 00:08:34.360
<v Speaker 1>great outing every time, and you know, there's been a

151
00:08:34.360 --> 00:08:36.960
<v Speaker 1>few times we haven't supported him, so to get four

152
00:08:37.039 --> 00:08:40.559
<v Speaker 1>right away was great, and uh, hopefully we keep doing

153
00:08:40.559 --> 00:08:41.080
<v Speaker 1>that for him.

154
00:08:41.200 --> 00:08:43.559
<v Speaker 7>There's been times this first half where he hit the

155
00:08:43.600 --> 00:08:46.600
<v Speaker 7>ball right on the money and it's spending out. How

156
00:08:46.600 --> 00:08:48.600
<v Speaker 7>good was it to get that flare to drop in

157
00:08:48.639 --> 00:08:49.360
<v Speaker 7>the first inning?

158
00:08:49.559 --> 00:08:50.279
<v Speaker 5>That was beautiful?

159
00:08:50.399 --> 00:08:53.279
<v Speaker 1>Broke a bat, you know, finally get one to drop

160
00:08:53.279 --> 00:08:57.320
<v Speaker 1>in there, and you know, I think I think better swings.

161
00:08:57.519 --> 00:09:00.279
<v Speaker 1>You know, that tends to happen more. So you know,

162
00:09:00.399 --> 00:09:02.000
<v Speaker 1>just gotta keep putting good swings out there.

163
00:09:02.120 --> 00:09:04.360
<v Speaker 7>What was happening down the left field line tonight? You

164
00:09:04.399 --> 00:09:06.679
<v Speaker 7>had a lot of action. You had a lot of interaction.

165
00:09:07.320 --> 00:09:08.679
<v Speaker 5>I had a lot of action out there.

166
00:09:10.200 --> 00:09:10.360
<v Speaker 6>You know.

167
00:09:10.519 --> 00:09:12.240
<v Speaker 1>The fans were telling me to die for the one

168
00:09:12.279 --> 00:09:14.279
<v Speaker 1>that hit the pole, so I was like, you want

169
00:09:14.320 --> 00:09:17.159
<v Speaker 1>me to die to hit my teeth on the pole there?

170
00:09:18.759 --> 00:09:20.799
<v Speaker 1>But anyways, man, yeah, just a lot of action out there,

171
00:09:20.799 --> 00:09:23.120
<v Speaker 1>and left and came up with two of them.

172
00:09:23.200 --> 00:09:26.320
<v Speaker 7>So let's make an official dead fish handshake right here.

173
00:09:26.279 --> 00:09:28.120
<v Speaker 5>Dead fish, that's happening there.

174
00:09:27.919 --> 00:09:30.759
<v Speaker 7>It is here we are thanks Mike, all right, I

175
00:09:30.759 --> 00:09:34.919
<v Speaker 7>think that there he goes Michael Confordo with a dead

176
00:09:34.960 --> 00:09:38.120
<v Speaker 7>fish handshake and a brand new bat. Hopefully he got

177
00:09:38.320 --> 00:09:40.360
<v Speaker 7>a few of them because, like you heard him say,

178
00:09:40.440 --> 00:09:42.960
<v Speaker 7>he broke his bat to drive in that run in

179
00:09:43.080 --> 00:09:46.200
<v Speaker 7>the first inning as he helps the Dodgers beat the

180
00:09:46.200 --> 00:09:50.039
<v Speaker 7>White Sox tonight six to one. Show. Hey. O'tani also

181
00:09:50.080 --> 00:09:52.639
<v Speaker 7>had a big game tonight. He hit his thirtieth home

182
00:09:52.720 --> 00:09:55.879
<v Speaker 7>run of the year, joining Kyle Rawley of the Mariners

183
00:09:55.919 --> 00:09:58.720
<v Speaker 7>and Aaron Judge of the Yankees to be part of

184
00:09:58.759 --> 00:10:02.559
<v Speaker 7>that club. Watson caught up with Otani after the game

185
00:10:02.639 --> 00:10:05.600
<v Speaker 7>on Sports at l A.

186
00:10:05.200 --> 00:10:07.200
<v Speaker 8>Show, Hey, there's not too much familiarity. When it came

187
00:10:07.279 --> 00:10:09.600
<v Speaker 8>up to facing Shane Smith. What were you seeing from him?

188
00:10:09.720 --> 00:10:11.720
<v Speaker 8>Just to put the incredible swing you had today?

189
00:10:12.919 --> 00:10:24.200
<v Speaker 9>And I Simpoka, thank well, he's there.

190
00:10:30.039 --> 00:10:32.080
<v Speaker 5>You know, two at bats he really got me.

191
00:10:32.200 --> 00:10:34.240
<v Speaker 9>But the third third at battle was able to get

192
00:10:34.320 --> 00:10:37.679
<v Speaker 9>him back. But I think, you know, kudos to Yoshinoba

193
00:10:37.720 --> 00:10:39.480
<v Speaker 9>who really had a great outing today.

194
00:10:39.799 --> 00:10:42.000
<v Speaker 8>You've already been voted into the All Star Game. To

195
00:10:42.080 --> 00:10:45.080
<v Speaker 8>see Yoshinobu have an All Star performance. To see players

196
00:10:45.120 --> 00:10:47.279
<v Speaker 8>like Andy paj Has, how special would it be for

197
00:10:47.320 --> 00:10:48.480
<v Speaker 8>them to be competing with you.

198
00:10:48.440 --> 00:11:18.960
<v Speaker 10>In the game, My YOSSI, I'm at the muskokquotus.

199
00:11:05.799 --> 00:11:06.279
<v Speaker 5>I should have been.

200
00:11:08.919 --> 00:11:11.720
<v Speaker 9>I really think they both deserve a nod with the

201
00:11:11.759 --> 00:11:14.120
<v Speaker 9>way they're performing. It's just so as much as the

202
00:11:14.159 --> 00:11:16.360
<v Speaker 9>other guys on the team, so very much looking forward

203
00:11:16.399 --> 00:11:18.279
<v Speaker 9>to having a lot of Dodgers on that squad.

204
00:11:18.600 --> 00:11:20.360
<v Speaker 8>You guys picked it the first win of this series

205
00:11:20.399 --> 00:11:22.080
<v Speaker 8>of congratulations on this one, you guys.

206
00:11:21.919 --> 00:11:22.759
<v Speaker 6>Would pick work.

207
00:11:23.919 --> 00:11:27.440
<v Speaker 7>There they are Show Aotani and Will Ireton on sports

208
00:11:27.480 --> 00:11:30.360
<v Speaker 7>Net LA, and yes, Andy pa Has should be part

209
00:11:30.360 --> 00:11:33.279
<v Speaker 7>of the National League All Star Team. He now leads

210
00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:37.440
<v Speaker 7>the Dodgers with fifty seven RBIs after driving in two

211
00:11:37.480 --> 00:11:41.080
<v Speaker 7>more tonight. Max Munsey's second on the team with Shoe

212
00:11:41.080 --> 00:11:45.440
<v Speaker 7>Aotani at fifty five ta Oscar Hernandez at fifty four.

213
00:11:45.639 --> 00:11:49.679
<v Speaker 7>So Piz certainly deserves a nod on that National League

214
00:11:49.720 --> 00:11:52.279
<v Speaker 7>All Star Team to be part of that outfield, and

215
00:11:52.320 --> 00:11:54.879
<v Speaker 7>Max Munsey deserves to be part of the National League

216
00:11:54.879 --> 00:11:58.120
<v Speaker 7>All Star Team. Who would have thought that after the

217
00:11:58.159 --> 00:12:01.200
<v Speaker 7>first couple of months where you were called to release

218
00:12:01.279 --> 00:12:04.240
<v Speaker 7>Max Mouncy. Here he is in the final phase of

219
00:12:04.279 --> 00:12:07.759
<v Speaker 7>the All Star voting, going up against Manny Machado. I

220
00:12:07.759 --> 00:12:11.840
<v Speaker 7>am a big advocate for Max Muncy. Outside of San Diego.

221
00:12:11.960 --> 00:12:14.720
<v Speaker 7>I'm not sure how many fans are gonna vote for Machado.

222
00:12:14.879 --> 00:12:17.879
<v Speaker 7>Maybe they will. I know the kids love Machado. He's

223
00:12:18.000 --> 00:12:21.679
<v Speaker 7>very deserving. But there's another position battle for the All

224
00:12:21.720 --> 00:12:26.559
<v Speaker 7>Star not at shortstop, Mookie Bets against Francisco Lindor, and

225
00:12:26.679 --> 00:12:30.159
<v Speaker 7>I'm all about Team Mookie, but I'm a firm believer

226
00:12:30.960 --> 00:12:34.200
<v Speaker 7>Mookie Bets could benefit by not making the All Star team.

227
00:12:34.360 --> 00:12:37.480
<v Speaker 7>So I am encouraging you to vote for Lindor to

228
00:12:37.559 --> 00:12:40.600
<v Speaker 7>give Mooki a mental and physical break so he can

229
00:12:40.679 --> 00:12:44.799
<v Speaker 7>be rejuvenated for the second half of the season because

230
00:12:45.360 --> 00:12:49.879
<v Speaker 7>he was playing from behind since Tokyo with that illness

231
00:12:49.919 --> 00:12:53.240
<v Speaker 7>that he had that had him drop somewhere between fifteen

232
00:12:53.279 --> 00:12:58.120
<v Speaker 7>and eighteen pounds. He's been just average as an offensive player.

233
00:12:58.159 --> 00:13:01.120
<v Speaker 7>He hasn't hit a home run in his last nineteen games.

234
00:13:01.440 --> 00:13:04.320
<v Speaker 7>I would love to see Mookie Betch just hang out

235
00:13:04.320 --> 00:13:07.679
<v Speaker 7>by the poll, maybe get a massage during the All

236
00:13:07.720 --> 00:13:10.559
<v Speaker 7>Star break, and be ready to come back for the

237
00:13:10.639 --> 00:13:13.720
<v Speaker 7>second half in the stretch run. Eight six six nine

238
00:13:13.759 --> 00:13:17.240
<v Speaker 7>eight seven two five seventy is the phone number. Dodgers

239
00:13:17.240 --> 00:13:20.480
<v Speaker 7>beat the White Sox tonight six to one. Nestor in

240
00:13:20.720 --> 00:13:24.399
<v Speaker 7>La You're on Dodger Talk with David vasse Hi Nestor

241
00:13:24.919 --> 00:13:25.360
<v Speaker 7>pretty good.

242
00:13:25.399 --> 00:13:26.480
<v Speaker 11>How you doing, David?

243
00:13:26.799 --> 00:13:28.480
<v Speaker 7>Wonderful, David.

244
00:13:28.519 --> 00:13:32.480
<v Speaker 12>I'm calling because, like you mentioned earlier, Yoshi's had some

245
00:13:32.519 --> 00:13:36.159
<v Speaker 12>really good showings, really good outings. Saint Louis comes to mine,

246
00:13:37.000 --> 00:13:40.039
<v Speaker 12>Arizona comes to mine. His last game against Colorado came

247
00:13:40.080 --> 00:13:42.639
<v Speaker 12>to mind tonight, comes to mine. How likely do you

248
00:13:42.679 --> 00:13:45.200
<v Speaker 12>think his push for us I Young this year is?

249
00:13:46.440 --> 00:13:49.120
<v Speaker 7>Oh? I think he's in the mix for sure right now.

250
00:13:49.159 --> 00:13:52.639
<v Speaker 7>But Paul Skeens is doing a pretty good job these days,

251
00:13:52.720 --> 00:13:56.279
<v Speaker 7>so he's gonna have to do a little bit more

252
00:13:56.919 --> 00:13:59.240
<v Speaker 7>to get over that. He'll because there's a lot of

253
00:13:59.600 --> 00:14:03.120
<v Speaker 7>fan for Paul Skeins. Thanks a lot for the phone call.

254
00:14:03.399 --> 00:14:07.159
<v Speaker 7>Eight six six two five seventy is the phone number.

255
00:14:07.399 --> 00:14:10.679
<v Speaker 7>Let's go out to La Luis. You're on Dodger Talk.

256
00:14:10.679 --> 00:14:11.840
<v Speaker 7>How you doing, Louise.

257
00:14:12.279 --> 00:14:14.759
<v Speaker 11>Hi, David, I'm a little tired today if I'm working,

258
00:14:14.799 --> 00:14:18.639
<v Speaker 11>but I did see the game, Okay, just one thing

259
00:14:20.200 --> 00:14:22.919
<v Speaker 11>I just wanted to ask because I know like Kershaw's

260
00:14:23.840 --> 00:14:27.600
<v Speaker 11>when he gets he does guys get his three thousand strikeout.

261
00:14:27.919 --> 00:14:31.759
<v Speaker 11>I don't want any any like the like the PA

262
00:14:31.960 --> 00:14:34.320
<v Speaker 11>and like noises like once he.

263
00:14:34.360 --> 00:14:37.399
<v Speaker 4>Gets the strikeout, like the DJ playing songs and things

264
00:14:37.480 --> 00:14:40.639
<v Speaker 4>like that. I want to hear like the crowd reaction

265
00:14:41.080 --> 00:14:42.919
<v Speaker 4>for like a good two minutes. I don't want to

266
00:14:42.919 --> 00:14:45.600
<v Speaker 4>hear any music or any DJs or like even the

267
00:14:45.720 --> 00:14:47.759
<v Speaker 4>organ I don't want to hear that. I just want

268
00:14:47.759 --> 00:14:50.559
<v Speaker 4>to hear like the crowd reaction, like an ultiool type

269
00:14:50.600 --> 00:14:50.879
<v Speaker 4>of thing.

270
00:14:52.279 --> 00:14:55.240
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, well I got something for you. If it happens

271
00:14:55.240 --> 00:14:57.240
<v Speaker 7>in the middle of an inning, you're not going to

272
00:14:57.320 --> 00:15:01.840
<v Speaker 7>hear any of that. But if it's happening after an

273
00:15:01.879 --> 00:15:04.879
<v Speaker 7>innings over, you might hear a little music. And what's

274
00:15:04.919 --> 00:15:07.960
<v Speaker 7>wrong with that? DJ Severe is the best, Dieta Rules

275
00:15:07.960 --> 00:15:11.519
<v Speaker 7>the best. But I feel like they have enough feel

276
00:15:11.919 --> 00:15:14.639
<v Speaker 7>and have done this for a long time where they

277
00:15:14.639 --> 00:15:18.600
<v Speaker 7>are going to allow the crowd to be the soundtrack

278
00:15:19.120 --> 00:15:21.759
<v Speaker 7>to that moment tomorrow night, So you don't have to

279
00:15:21.759 --> 00:15:22.919
<v Speaker 7>worry about that. Louise.

280
00:15:24.120 --> 00:15:28.000
<v Speaker 4>I always remember with Vince Scully because he will let

281
00:15:28.039 --> 00:15:31.240
<v Speaker 4>like the crowd react and he won't like he would

282
00:15:31.240 --> 00:15:33.279
<v Speaker 4>shut up, honestly, right right.

283
00:15:33.360 --> 00:15:37.039
<v Speaker 7>That's different calling a game than it is in house entertainment.

284
00:15:37.240 --> 00:15:40.159
<v Speaker 7>So these guys have done it. They've done it in

285
00:15:40.200 --> 00:15:43.840
<v Speaker 7>a classy way, and uh, they understand the moment, so

286
00:15:43.879 --> 00:15:46.039
<v Speaker 7>they won't get in the way of that, Louise. But

287
00:15:46.120 --> 00:15:49.120
<v Speaker 7>we appreciate your concern and your input. I feel like

288
00:15:49.519 --> 00:15:52.639
<v Speaker 7>you just like, instead of emailing the Dodgers, you just

289
00:15:52.720 --> 00:15:55.559
<v Speaker 7>called the show to let them know how you feel.

290
00:15:55.600 --> 00:15:57.639
<v Speaker 7>So this was like an email phone call.

291
00:15:59.200 --> 00:16:02.200
<v Speaker 4>Thank you, David say from the heart, I.

292
00:16:02.159 --> 00:16:04.159
<v Speaker 7>Hear you, Luis, have a good day tomorrow.

293
00:16:04.200 --> 00:16:07.159
<v Speaker 4>Okay, thank you you too, Thank you so much.

294
00:16:07.759 --> 00:16:11.039
<v Speaker 7>Hey, my pleasure. Eight sixty six nine eight seven two

295
00:16:11.080 --> 00:16:14.200
<v Speaker 7>five seventy is the phone number. By the way, we

296
00:16:14.200 --> 00:16:17.720
<v Speaker 7>were going back to the strikeouts per nine for Kershaw. Uh,

297
00:16:17.919 --> 00:16:20.679
<v Speaker 7>it would be the fourth best among the players that

298
00:16:20.799 --> 00:16:24.600
<v Speaker 7>have recorded three thousand strikeouts. Max Schurzer, I mean he

299
00:16:24.720 --> 00:16:28.159
<v Speaker 7>is known for being a strikeout pitcher. And how about this,

300
00:16:28.679 --> 00:16:31.519
<v Speaker 7>when the Dodgers acquired Mac Schuerzer, he was on the

301
00:16:31.559 --> 00:16:36.120
<v Speaker 7>doorstep of three thousand strikeouts and recorded his three thousand

302
00:16:36.159 --> 00:16:39.799
<v Speaker 7>strikeout right here at Dodgers stadium and got a curtain

303
00:16:39.919 --> 00:16:42.720
<v Speaker 7>call from the fans here, and he was barely a

304
00:16:42.799 --> 00:16:45.519
<v Speaker 7>Dodger for a couple of months. That's when we all

305
00:16:45.519 --> 00:16:48.360
<v Speaker 7>believe Max Schurzer was a tough guy. And then we

306
00:16:48.480 --> 00:16:50.879
<v Speaker 7>found out during the NLCS that he was a fake

307
00:16:51.000 --> 00:16:53.759
<v Speaker 7>tough guy. But at that point in time, we were

308
00:16:53.759 --> 00:16:58.440
<v Speaker 7>throwing flowers at Max Schuzer. So how about this Dodger fans,

309
00:16:58.720 --> 00:17:01.840
<v Speaker 7>if you the standard has been set. You gave a

310
00:17:01.919 --> 00:17:04.240
<v Speaker 7>guy that had been a Dodger for two months a

311
00:17:04.279 --> 00:17:08.839
<v Speaker 7>curtain call after his three thousand strikeout, you better give

312
00:17:08.920 --> 00:17:13.880
<v Speaker 7>Kershaw a curtain call. And then some after he records

313
00:17:13.880 --> 00:17:17.079
<v Speaker 7>his three thousand strikeout and goes into the dugout. I

314
00:17:17.119 --> 00:17:19.039
<v Speaker 7>want him to come back out and I wanted to

315
00:17:19.039 --> 00:17:21.720
<v Speaker 7>stay out there for a long time if you gave

316
00:17:21.759 --> 00:17:27.240
<v Speaker 7>Max Schuurser a curtain call. So there we go on that. Anyway,

317
00:17:28.000 --> 00:17:31.440
<v Speaker 7>Let's go out to Colorado. Tony, you're on Dodger Talk.

318
00:17:31.480 --> 00:17:32.319
<v Speaker 7>How you doing, Tony?

319
00:17:33.519 --> 00:17:36.240
<v Speaker 3>How you doing? David? I don't know if you remember us.

320
00:17:36.559 --> 00:17:39.440
<v Speaker 3>My son's on the line too. We met you down

321
00:17:39.519 --> 00:17:40.839
<v Speaker 3>in Kansas City.

322
00:17:42.200 --> 00:17:45.640
<v Speaker 7>How got I forget Tony and Blake? Yes, I remember

323
00:17:45.680 --> 00:17:46.160
<v Speaker 7>both of you.

324
00:17:47.640 --> 00:17:49.640
<v Speaker 3>Of course, then Blake, nobody has ever.

325
00:17:49.640 --> 00:17:52.599
<v Speaker 7>Wanted to nobody has ever wanted to meet me as

326
00:17:52.640 --> 00:17:55.440
<v Speaker 7>badly as you and Blake wanted to meet me, Tony.

327
00:17:55.480 --> 00:17:56.680
<v Speaker 7>It made me very awkward.

328
00:17:58.519 --> 00:18:00.839
<v Speaker 3>Well, I mean, David, you, I mean going down the

329
00:18:00.839 --> 00:18:03.720
<v Speaker 3>slide of Milwaukee. I think you did that to yourself.

330
00:18:04.759 --> 00:18:06.119
<v Speaker 3>But we love you, though.

331
00:18:06.200 --> 00:18:08.640
<v Speaker 7>Let me ask you a question. Would your son Blake

332
00:18:08.680 --> 00:18:10.720
<v Speaker 7>have wanted to meet me if I went down that

333
00:18:10.799 --> 00:18:12.960
<v Speaker 7>slide and came out of it healthy?

334
00:18:14.799 --> 00:18:15.519
<v Speaker 3>Ask him yourself.

335
00:18:15.519 --> 00:18:18.279
<v Speaker 7>He's on the line, Blake, would you have cared if

336
00:18:18.319 --> 00:18:20.519
<v Speaker 7>I went down the slide and didn't get hurt? Would

337
00:18:20.559 --> 00:18:22.200
<v Speaker 7>you really? Would you have wanted to meet me?

338
00:18:22.319 --> 00:18:22.519
<v Speaker 3>Then?

339
00:18:24.240 --> 00:18:29.279
<v Speaker 7>That't Oh, thank you, Blake. I appreciate that you love

340
00:18:29.359 --> 00:18:32.119
<v Speaker 7>me for who I am, not for going down that

341
00:18:32.160 --> 00:18:34.720
<v Speaker 7>slide and breaking my ribs and wrist. That means a

342
00:18:34.720 --> 00:18:40.400
<v Speaker 7>lot to me. Hey, go ahead, what do you want

343
00:18:40.440 --> 00:18:40.759
<v Speaker 7>to say?

344
00:18:41.200 --> 00:18:43.079
<v Speaker 3>No, I'm sorry. What we want to say is what

345
00:18:43.119 --> 00:18:45.279
<v Speaker 3>a great time to be a Dodger fan. I mean,

346
00:18:45.319 --> 00:18:47.799
<v Speaker 3>we have Showhy on our side, we have Clayton going

347
00:18:47.839 --> 00:18:50.599
<v Speaker 3>for three thousand, we have all these Dodgers that are

348
00:18:50.680 --> 00:18:54.039
<v Speaker 3>up for the All Star Game. I mean this, I

349
00:18:54.079 --> 00:18:56.079
<v Speaker 3>can't remember. And I've been a Dodger town for over

350
00:18:56.160 --> 00:18:58.480
<v Speaker 3>forty years. I mean, this is one of the best

351
00:18:58.480 --> 00:18:59.680
<v Speaker 3>times to be a fan.

352
00:19:00.799 --> 00:19:03.880
<v Speaker 7>No doubt, golden age of Dodger baseball right now, and

353
00:19:03.920 --> 00:19:06.200
<v Speaker 7>you're living it. And all you wanted to do was

354
00:19:06.240 --> 00:19:06.599
<v Speaker 7>meet me.

355
00:19:07.960 --> 00:19:11.119
<v Speaker 3>Hey, no that and I'm saying Blake is very He

356
00:19:11.160 --> 00:19:12.920
<v Speaker 3>hasn't stopped talking about it, have you, Blake?

357
00:19:13.799 --> 00:19:13.839
<v Speaker 11>No?

358
00:19:16.119 --> 00:19:19.240
<v Speaker 7>Okay, Thanks Blake. It was great meeting you, Tony. Thanks

00:19:29.720 --> 00:19:32.240
<v Speaker 7>we come back, we'll check in with Jose Mota and

364
00:19:32.279 --> 00:19:35.119
<v Speaker 7>we'll get his thoughts on Yamamoto. Plus, we have an

365

<v Speaker 7>be on his way back to La Very soon to

369
00:19:49.119 --> 00:19:52.000
<v Speaker 7>pitch in the big leagues, because he certainly is going

370
00:19:52.039 --> 00:19:54.440
<v Speaker 7>to be a big time factor for the Dodgers the

371
00:19:54.480 --> 00:19:57.599

00:20:58.680 --> 00:21:03.200

00:21:38.039 --> 00:21:41.119
<v Speaker 7>seventy is the phone number I was gonna tell you

398
00:21:41.200 --> 00:21:45.480
<v Speaker 7>about Emma Sheehan. He is coming off six perfect innings

399
00:21:45.480 --> 00:21:49.640
<v Speaker 7>and thirteen strikeouts for Oklahoma City. He came back tonight

400
00:21:49.720 --> 00:21:54.279
<v Speaker 7>and was not as perfect as Las Vegas beat Oklahoma

401
00:21:54.359 --> 00:21:58.519
<v Speaker 7>City tonight in Nevada. Sheehan when two and a third innings,

402
00:21:58.559 --> 00:22:02.640
<v Speaker 7>gave up four earned runs and through fifty nine pitches.

403
00:22:02.720 --> 00:22:07.240
<v Speaker 7>So he obviously had his worst start since coming back

404
00:22:07.279 --> 00:22:09.880
<v Speaker 7>from Tommy John surgery, whether it be in the majors

405
00:22:09.960 --> 00:22:15.039
<v Speaker 7>or minors. But everybody in the Dodger organization is really

406
00:22:15.079 --> 00:22:18.000
<v Speaker 7>excited about Shean and what he could do for them,

407
00:22:18.079 --> 00:22:22.279
<v Speaker 7>not only this year, but moving forward. Kind of feels

408
00:22:22.359 --> 00:22:24.759
<v Speaker 7>like his next start will be with the Dodgers, so

409
00:22:24.799 --> 00:22:28.440
<v Speaker 7>we'll see whether or not that comes to fruition. Also,

410
00:22:28.680 --> 00:22:32.079
<v Speaker 7>Dave Roberts said, Tyler Glass now is expected to make

411
00:22:32.400 --> 00:22:36.359
<v Speaker 7>his final rehab start this upcoming week. He is expected

412
00:22:36.400 --> 00:22:39.880
<v Speaker 7>to throw seventy five pitches in his next rehab start

413
00:22:40.119 --> 00:22:44.359
<v Speaker 7>and after that could rejoin the Dodger rotation even before

414
00:22:44.440 --> 00:22:47.720
<v Speaker 7>the All Star break. After the Dodgers close out this

415
00:22:47.880 --> 00:22:51.759
<v Speaker 7>homestand they're going to Milwaukee and San Francisco before the

416
00:22:51.799 --> 00:22:55.640
<v Speaker 7>All Star break. Also good news for our guy Blake Snell.

417
00:22:56.079 --> 00:22:59.359
<v Speaker 7>He is expected to throw to hitters tomorrow, so is

418
00:22:59.400 --> 00:23:02.759
<v Speaker 7>Blake try That'll be the first time those two have

419
00:23:02.960 --> 00:23:06.720
<v Speaker 7>done that exercise, and that's a good sign for both

420
00:23:06.759 --> 00:23:10.480
<v Speaker 7>of them. Blake Trinon who kind of pulled the ripcord

421
00:23:10.559 --> 00:23:13.799
<v Speaker 7>early where he kind of felt something that didn't feel

422
00:23:13.920 --> 00:23:16.960
<v Speaker 7>right in his forearm when the Dodgers were in Texas.

423
00:23:17.359 --> 00:23:19.440
<v Speaker 7>He did a great job of not trying to push

424
00:23:19.480 --> 00:23:22.839
<v Speaker 7>it because that has given him this opportunity to come

425
00:23:22.880 --> 00:23:26.400
<v Speaker 7>back this season. And Blake's now, I mean, he's letting

426
00:23:26.440 --> 00:23:29.559
<v Speaker 7>it rip and that's why he's able to face hitters tomorrow.

427
00:23:29.960 --> 00:23:32.839
<v Speaker 7>Eight six six nine, eight seven two five seventy is

428
00:23:32.880 --> 00:23:36.599
<v Speaker 7>the phone number. Dodgers beat the White Sox tonight six

429
00:23:36.680 --> 00:23:39.279
<v Speaker 7>to one. Let's go out to Mason who is at

430
00:23:39.319 --> 00:23:42.000
<v Speaker 7>Dodgers Stadium tonight. Hi, Mason, you're on Dodger Talk.

431
00:23:43.279 --> 00:23:44.200
<v Speaker 13>How's it going, David?

432
00:23:44.279 --> 00:23:47.839
<v Speaker 7>Good to be on my pleasure? What's up? Mason?

433
00:23:49.279 --> 00:23:52.240
<v Speaker 13>I was just curious, what is your opinion of Haithon Kim.

434
00:23:52.279 --> 00:23:54.039
<v Speaker 13>Do you think he has a more permanent place in

435
00:23:54.039 --> 00:23:55.799
<v Speaker 13>the lineup or is he going to continue to be

436
00:23:55.839 --> 00:23:57.720
<v Speaker 13>more of a put him where we need him on

437
00:23:57.839 --> 00:24:01.119
<v Speaker 13>nights where our starters are, you know, taking a break.

438
00:24:02.279 --> 00:24:04.359
<v Speaker 7>Well, the Dodgers want to give him a little bit

439
00:24:04.359 --> 00:24:07.359
<v Speaker 7>more of an opportunity to play, but I feel like

440
00:24:07.400 --> 00:24:09.960
<v Speaker 7>it's going to be that way. Maybe he'll get more

441
00:24:10.000 --> 00:24:14.480
<v Speaker 7>opportunities at second base since the Dodgers are comfortable now

442
00:24:14.480 --> 00:24:17.920
<v Speaker 7>with Tommy Edmund's right ankle being healthy enough to play

443
00:24:17.960 --> 00:24:21.160
<v Speaker 7>center field, so there could be days that Edmunds in

444
00:24:21.279 --> 00:24:24.799
<v Speaker 7>center and Kim's playing second. Tonight was a scheduled day

445
00:24:24.839 --> 00:24:28.799
<v Speaker 7>off for Mookie Bets, even before the road trip where

446
00:24:28.839 --> 00:24:33.799
<v Speaker 7>he really didn't come out of this power powerless streak

447
00:24:33.839 --> 00:24:36.440
<v Speaker 7>where he hasn't hit a home run in his last

448
00:24:36.519 --> 00:24:39.880
<v Speaker 7>nineteen games. But you know, I see every team, not

449
00:24:40.039 --> 00:24:43.559
<v Speaker 7>just the White Sox, basically giving Kim the left side

450
00:24:43.559 --> 00:24:46.039
<v Speaker 7>of the infield. I would love for him to maybe

451
00:24:46.079 --> 00:24:49.119
<v Speaker 7>just slap a ball down there or at least bunt

452
00:24:49.119 --> 00:24:51.599
<v Speaker 7>to get on base, especially when you're hitting ninth in

453
00:24:51.640 --> 00:24:52.559
<v Speaker 7>front of Otani.

454
00:24:53.519 --> 00:24:56.519
<v Speaker 13>Yeah, I mean, I totally agree. My dad really thinks

455
00:24:57.319 --> 00:25:01.079
<v Speaker 13>moving Paz to right, to Oscar to center and then

456
00:25:01.559 --> 00:25:04.599
<v Speaker 13>Hi fund him play second would be maybe the best future.

457
00:25:04.599 --> 00:25:07.440
<v Speaker 13>But I don't know that's that's his opinion, not mine.

458
00:25:07.480 --> 00:25:11.680
<v Speaker 7>But sorry, what about my guy Conforto.

459
00:25:12.279 --> 00:25:16.079
<v Speaker 13>I don't know. I think my dad's kind of wishy

460
00:25:16.119 --> 00:25:18.559
<v Speaker 13>washed young Confordo. I like it more than he does,

461
00:25:18.599 --> 00:25:20.920
<v Speaker 13>but I think that's his opinion more than his mind.

462
00:25:21.559 --> 00:25:24.599
<v Speaker 7>All right, Well, Conforto Scott between now and July thirty

463
00:25:24.680 --> 00:25:28.519
<v Speaker 7>first to prove that he can get more opportunities in

464
00:25:28.640 --> 00:25:31.359
<v Speaker 7>left field, and he did a good job tonight. I

465
00:25:31.359 --> 00:25:34.599
<v Speaker 7>mean he he hung in there, he hit a high fastball,

466
00:25:34.720 --> 00:25:38.039
<v Speaker 7>broke his bat and drove in a couple of runs

467
00:25:38.079 --> 00:25:39.839
<v Speaker 7>there in the first innings. So that was a big

468
00:25:39.880 --> 00:25:42.599
<v Speaker 7>deal for Conforto coming off a very good road trip.

469
00:25:42.920 --> 00:25:45.799
<v Speaker 7>All right, let's check in with our guy, Jose Moda.

470
00:25:46.079 --> 00:25:53.799
<v Speaker 6>It's tough to go around the horn with Jose Mota.

471
00:25:51.799 --> 00:25:54.599
<v Speaker 7>All right, Jose Mota. The Dodgers get the win six

472
00:25:54.640 --> 00:25:58.160
<v Speaker 7>to one over the White Sox. And Yama Moto does

473
00:25:58.200 --> 00:26:01.680
<v Speaker 7>it again going seven innings to I felt like this

474
00:26:01.759 --> 00:26:04.240
<v Speaker 7>is what he was supposed to do at the very least.

475
00:26:05.720 --> 00:26:07.920
<v Speaker 14>Well, you're right, And one thing that I liked the

476
00:26:07.920 --> 00:26:10.200
<v Speaker 14>most was the fact that you know, he didn't overuse

477
00:26:10.240 --> 00:26:13.640
<v Speaker 14>any one pitch. He was able to man they played

478
00:26:13.640 --> 00:26:16.079
<v Speaker 14>the fastball made different ways with a cutter, with the

479
00:26:16.119 --> 00:26:17.720
<v Speaker 14>sinker or the forcing fastball.

480
00:26:17.799 --> 00:26:20.559
<v Speaker 2>More than anything, David, he wasn't chasing punchells.

481
00:26:20.680 --> 00:26:23.079
<v Speaker 14>What he did was what I saw that he did

482
00:26:23.079 --> 00:26:25.759
<v Speaker 14>so well, was he was pretty much basing everything out

483
00:26:25.799 --> 00:26:28.039
<v Speaker 14>of the swings. And if there's a time where you

484
00:26:28.079 --> 00:26:30.920
<v Speaker 14>don't have to waste a pitch, because this is an

485
00:26:31.000 --> 00:26:33.920
<v Speaker 14>inexperienced lineup some sorts, then he went out there and

486
00:26:33.960 --> 00:26:36.319
<v Speaker 14>founded the zigne as much as you could, no matter

487
00:26:36.319 --> 00:26:39.000
<v Speaker 14>what account was. So that's why you know this. Guys

488
00:26:39.079 --> 00:26:42.200
<v Speaker 14>like this dis tigers themselves because they can change their

489
00:26:42.240 --> 00:26:46.839
<v Speaker 14>patterns very quickly without chasing strikecoups. They find the strike

490
00:26:46.839 --> 00:26:49.279
<v Speaker 14>caups because they're strong enough to know where swings would

491
00:26:49.279 --> 00:26:52.119
<v Speaker 14>be amiss, where guys are swinging over the baseball, where

492
00:26:52.160 --> 00:26:55.000
<v Speaker 14>guys are chasing more, where they're taking more about Nonetheless,

493
00:26:55.200 --> 00:26:57.480
<v Speaker 14>it was all about FASTBA comath Tonite.

494
00:26:58.240 --> 00:27:01.160
<v Speaker 7>Andy pie Has. It feels like he's getting more and

495
00:27:01.240 --> 00:27:05.039
<v Speaker 7>more recognition for the first half he is putting together.

496
00:27:05.200 --> 00:27:08.559
<v Speaker 7>He leads the Dodgers and RBIs now with fifty seven

497
00:27:09.079 --> 00:27:12.000
<v Speaker 7>He's third in the National League with a three eighty

498
00:27:12.000 --> 00:27:15.519
<v Speaker 7>three batting average with runners in scoring position. He actually

499
00:27:15.559 --> 00:27:19.319
<v Speaker 7>told me Jose, everybody's trying to break down why he's

500
00:27:19.359 --> 00:27:23.480
<v Speaker 7>doing so well and doing uh, you know, snapshots of

501
00:27:23.519 --> 00:27:27.480
<v Speaker 7>his his laid kick or his batting stance. But what

502
00:27:27.640 --> 00:27:29.400
<v Speaker 7>is it about pie Has this year?

503
00:27:30.680 --> 00:27:33.160
<v Speaker 14>The number one thing is he's getting He caught them

504
00:27:34.039 --> 00:27:36.200
<v Speaker 14>and whatever adjustments he needed to make, he did it

505
00:27:36.279 --> 00:27:40.279
<v Speaker 14>last season towards the end. Carrying into this season. You know,

506
00:27:40.480 --> 00:27:42.680
<v Speaker 14>just keeping the shoulder square was the main thing for

507
00:27:42.759 --> 00:27:45.000
<v Speaker 14>him and getting on top some pitches, laid off some

508
00:27:45.079 --> 00:27:48.200
<v Speaker 14>pitches of repetitions. Dave, you got to stay with guys

509
00:27:48.200 --> 00:27:50.440
<v Speaker 14>and believe in them, and Dave Roberts has done that.

510
00:27:50.440 --> 00:27:52.880
<v Speaker 14>There's no doubt that he has carried out. And pie

511
00:27:52.920 --> 00:27:55.079
<v Speaker 14>Has has told me he is not a big deal

512
00:27:55.319 --> 00:27:58.960
<v Speaker 14>what I'm doing in terms of major justinson just recognizing

513
00:27:59.000 --> 00:28:01.680
<v Speaker 14>which pitches I and with which which is I have

514
00:28:01.720 --> 00:28:04.000
<v Speaker 14>to lay off of uh, not being afraid to take

515
00:28:04.000 --> 00:28:06.400
<v Speaker 14>a walk, and then not forgetting about the other side

516
00:28:06.400 --> 00:28:08.359
<v Speaker 14>of the field. I mean, think about the rbos that

517
00:28:08.400 --> 00:28:11.759
<v Speaker 14>he has and how many balls he's hit a foul

518
00:28:11.839 --> 00:28:13.480
<v Speaker 14>and then he's able to square things up as he

519
00:28:13.519 --> 00:28:16.640
<v Speaker 14>did today by just using his hands in a better way.

520
00:28:17.359 --> 00:28:20.000
<v Speaker 14>He's a smart player who has the right questions. He

521
00:28:20.119 --> 00:28:23.279
<v Speaker 14>gave him a report today. I'm just kid Shane Smith

522
00:28:23.319 --> 00:28:25.839
<v Speaker 14>and was like right on the money and I'm glad

523
00:28:25.839 --> 00:28:27.839
<v Speaker 14>to see that, you know, with the oscars help and

524
00:28:27.839 --> 00:28:29.720
<v Speaker 14>I'm in the confidence he's getting from the staff.

525
00:28:30.000 --> 00:28:32.039
<v Speaker 4>But he's able to go through and done.

526
00:28:33.039 --> 00:28:35.799
<v Speaker 7>Hey, that makes sense. I mean he doesn't get enough

527
00:28:35.799 --> 00:28:40.079
<v Speaker 7>credit because obviously he doesn't get in front of the

528
00:28:40.119 --> 00:28:43.319
<v Speaker 7>microphone or the camera as often as other players, but

529
00:28:43.839 --> 00:28:46.200
<v Speaker 7>it makes a lot of sense. He's prepared. He's not

530
00:28:46.359 --> 00:28:50.319
<v Speaker 7>just showing up and getting into the batter's box. He's prepared.

531
00:28:51.480 --> 00:28:55.640
<v Speaker 14>Right all just got back of anybody and understands what

532
00:28:55.640 --> 00:28:59.079
<v Speaker 14>what concepts he is being toded. One thing young players

533
00:28:59.079 --> 00:29:01.480
<v Speaker 14>for the Dodgers do tell me is from a time

534
00:29:01.720 --> 00:29:03.960
<v Speaker 14>designed on to the tun there in the big leagues,

535
00:29:04.000 --> 00:29:07.119
<v Speaker 14>there's concissius in the messaging for a young player, that's

536
00:29:07.200 --> 00:29:10.000
<v Speaker 14>all you can ask for. If you see a card

537
00:29:10.119 --> 00:29:13.119
<v Speaker 14>that car looks the same as a just the levels,

538
00:29:13.440 --> 00:29:16.839
<v Speaker 14>it just creates less confusion and what your job is.

539
00:29:16.960 --> 00:29:18.920
<v Speaker 14>And now when you get to a different level in

540
00:29:19.039 --> 00:29:21.519
<v Speaker 14>testing the big leagues, you try to simplify and the

541
00:29:21.519 --> 00:29:23.559
<v Speaker 14>these patterns are going to repeat themselves a little bit more,

542
00:29:23.559 --> 00:29:26.799
<v Speaker 14>including guys we're pitching. That's what has a plant about quite.

543
00:29:26.680 --> 00:29:30.839
<v Speaker 7>Well, Jose, Before I let you go, If Hayesa on

544
00:29:30.960 --> 00:29:34.319
<v Speaker 7>Kim and everybody wants to see more of Kim, that's fine.

545
00:29:34.519 --> 00:29:39.119
<v Speaker 7>But if you're hitting ninth and you have a chance

546
00:29:39.160 --> 00:29:41.599
<v Speaker 7>to turn the lineup over for Otani and they're giving

547
00:29:41.680 --> 00:29:44.359
<v Speaker 7>you the left side of the infield, are we going

548
00:29:44.440 --> 00:29:47.039
<v Speaker 7>to see Kim learn how to bunt or try to

549
00:29:47.039 --> 00:29:49.279
<v Speaker 7>bunt more? Because I heard he used to bunt a

550
00:29:49.319 --> 00:29:51.920
<v Speaker 7>lot in Korea, but we just haven't seen it here.

551
00:29:52.839 --> 00:29:56.640
<v Speaker 2>We have, in fact, I have there never seen anybody

552
00:29:56.680 --> 00:29:59.759
<v Speaker 2>at any level anywhere defan bunt the way the White

553
00:29:59.759 --> 00:30:03.680
<v Speaker 2>fig They have the third basement pretty much alive with

554
00:30:03.680 --> 00:30:06.839
<v Speaker 2>the short supposition and playing in the grass. So if

555
00:30:06.880 --> 00:30:09.039
<v Speaker 2>you've pushed downe a bad bunt, then the third base

556
00:30:09.119 --> 00:30:10.519
<v Speaker 2>line hard you're going to be safe.

557
00:30:10.519 --> 00:30:13.599
<v Speaker 14>And the one thing I asked him about Korea, and

558
00:30:13.640 --> 00:30:16.079
<v Speaker 14>I asked some of his teammates in Korea, Toui, but

559
00:30:16.440 --> 00:30:20.519
<v Speaker 14>his team, they were not allowed to butt a whole lot.

560
00:30:20.839 --> 00:30:22.680
<v Speaker 14>He goes, No, we couldn't bun a whole lot because

561
00:30:22.680 --> 00:30:24.880
<v Speaker 14>they wanted us to slug ball and try to get based,

562
00:30:25.079 --> 00:30:27.000
<v Speaker 14>because we had a lot of guys that pretty much

563
00:30:27.000 --> 00:30:29.799
<v Speaker 14>performed the same way. And I'm like, Okay, that makes

564
00:30:29.799 --> 00:30:31.759
<v Speaker 14>a lot of sense. But at times, I think it's

565
00:30:31.799 --> 00:30:33.240
<v Speaker 14>going to have to be part of his game because

566
00:30:33.240 --> 00:30:37.160
<v Speaker 14>the man can fly with even with a normal, regular bunt,

567
00:30:37.200 --> 00:30:39.160
<v Speaker 14>with a mediocre bun, he's going to put a lot

568
00:30:39.160 --> 00:30:41.079
<v Speaker 14>of pressure on people to whether to try to get

569
00:30:41.119 --> 00:30:42.680
<v Speaker 14>him out. So yeah, at some point I think it

570
00:30:42.720 --> 00:30:45.079
<v Speaker 14>should be part of his game. And certainly the White

571
00:30:45.119 --> 00:30:46.960
<v Speaker 14>Soxx know something that we didn't know about because they

572
00:30:46.960 --> 00:30:48.920
<v Speaker 14>were totally trying to take it away. But to be

573
00:30:48.960 --> 00:30:49.839
<v Speaker 14>in the wrong way.

574
00:30:50.880 --> 00:30:53.359
<v Speaker 7>All right, Hose, We'll check in with you. Tomorrow should

575
00:30:53.400 --> 00:30:55.920
<v Speaker 7>be a very special night here at Dodger Stadium with

576
00:30:56.000 --> 00:31:01.680
<v Speaker 7>Clayton Kershaw expected to reach that three thousand strike strikeout plateau.

577
00:31:02.640 --> 00:31:04.480
<v Speaker 14>It's a day when we all become fans.

578
00:31:04.559 --> 00:31:08.880
<v Speaker 7>It's today, no doubt, that's right. Thanks a lot, Jose,

579
00:31:09.240 --> 00:31:13.559
<v Speaker 7>appreciate Jose Mota checking in from parts unknown. All right,

580
00:31:13.599 --> 00:31:17.079
<v Speaker 7>that'll do it for us. On Dodger Talk tonight Tomorrow,

581
00:31:17.200 --> 00:31:20.920
<v Speaker 7>Kershaw Day and a special one. Three strikeouts away from

582
00:31:20.960 --> 00:31:24.200
<v Speaker 7>three thousand in his career. He's four and oh this

583
00:31:24.279 --> 00:31:28.079
<v Speaker 7>season with an ERA three zero three, coming off a

584
00:31:28.200 --> 00:31:33.119
<v Speaker 7>great start in Denver where he only threw sixty nine pitches,

585
00:31:33.519 --> 00:31:36.200
<v Speaker 7>the fewest amount of pitches that he has thrown in

586
00:31:36.240 --> 00:31:40.039
<v Speaker 7>a start this year, and the other was twenty something

587
00:31:40.480 --> 00:31:42.960
<v Speaker 7>where it was a rain delay. So he was so

588
00:31:43.119 --> 00:31:46.400
<v Speaker 7>effective that he probably could have gone back out for

589
00:31:46.480 --> 00:31:50.000
<v Speaker 7>another inning in Denver. But kind of feels like everybody

590
00:31:50.079 --> 00:31:52.880
<v Speaker 7>wanted this to happen here and here he is just

591
00:31:52.960 --> 00:31:57.440
<v Speaker 7>three strikeouts away from three thousand against the Chicago White Sox,

592
00:31:57.440 --> 00:32:00.480
<v Speaker 7>who was throwing out Sean Burke four and with an

593
00:32:00.480 --> 00:32:03.880
<v Speaker 7>ERA of four to twenty two. Morongo Casino Dodgers on

594

<v Speaker 7>Decks begins at six o'clock tomorrow with first pitch at

<v Speaker 7>seven ten. Right here on AM five to seventy LA Sports.

596
