Speaker 1: One thing about this gene is the invisible and tangibles
Speaker 1: that they have.
Speaker 2: This team is really becoming a family.
Speaker 1: Let's not play one on Tom.
Speaker 2: Let's lend it.
Speaker 3: I love writing me these guys after the show.
Speaker 4: So just thank you, give me are your attention, your
Speaker 4: fire and not a pisson.
Speaker 5: This is world champion, Dodgers, world championing for a small
Speaker 5: soft time.
Speaker 6: They get a people what they want to die too
Speaker 6: in a row two is special. I'm like, yeah, it's
Speaker 6: not a headache one of a con. This balls gone.
Speaker 6: You ready to go.
Speaker 5: Hell time, go to the su grab your phone to
Speaker 5: get in on the show called eight six six nine
Speaker 5: eighty seven two five seven. I'll go to the show
Speaker 5: and now your host of Dodger Talk, David Vasse.
Speaker 7: We are live at Dodgers Stadium after the Dodgers fall
Speaker 7: to the A's tonight eleven to one. Welcome the Dodger
Speaker 7: Talk David vas Say, live at Dodgers Stadium with you
Speaker 7: until at eleven o'clock tonight. Phone lines are open at
Speaker 7: eight six six nine eighty seven two five seventy. It
Speaker 7: was not a good night for the Dodgers, but it
Speaker 7: certainly was a great welcome home to Jacob Wilson at
Speaker 7: one thousand Oaks High School, who hit two home runs tonight,
Speaker 7: two run home runs, both of them off a land
Speaker 7: and neck, one in the third inning, the other in
Speaker 7: the fifth inning. The first two run home run was
Speaker 7: on a slider by neck when he had his fastball
Speaker 7: working through a slider first pitch, Wilson hit a home run,
Speaker 7: the second one a ninety one fastball. No issues with that,
Speaker 7: but why is he trying to go high with that fastball?
Speaker 7: If you miss, it's right where Jacob Wilson wants it,
Speaker 7: and it's not ninety five ninety six. The margin for
Speaker 7: air is a lot slimmer when you're only throwing ninety
Speaker 7: one miles an hour high in the strike zone. The
Speaker 7: best pitch and somewhat of a lost start for a
Speaker 7: lot of pitchers these days, is throwing a fastball down
Speaker 7: and a way for a strike or something that appears
Speaker 7: to be a strike. And to me, that's where when
Speaker 7: Landon Nak was going good tonight, he was living. Eight
Speaker 7: six six nine eight seven two five seventy is the
Speaker 7: phone number the two home runs given up by Landon
Speaker 7: Nack tonight gives the Dodger starters, twenty five home runs allowed.
Speaker 7: That's top ten in Major League Baseball. That is not
Speaker 7: very characteristic of the Dodger pitching staff. And right now
Speaker 7: they are hurting for starting pitching with Glass now and
Speaker 7: Snell on the injured list, and then earlier today the
Speaker 7: Dodgers announcing that Roki Sizaki was going on the injured
Speaker 7: list with the right shouldern pingement. That's why JP fireheis
Speaker 7: in was called up and put into the game tonight
Speaker 7: during garbage time.
Speaker 6: But not great for Suzaki or the Dodgers.
Speaker 7: And it really hadn't been great for Suzaki for the
Speaker 7: last two or three starts, you know, even in Atlanta
Speaker 7: he was getting away with ninety four, and we heard
Speaker 7: so much about this electric fastball, and we just hadn't
Speaker 7: seen it. We saw glimpses of it in his first
Speaker 7: couple of starts, but we hadn't seen the command, we
Speaker 7: hadn't seen the velocity.
Speaker 6: And now maybe this explains it.
Speaker 7: Right now, you're looking at a Dodger rotation that has Yamamoto,
Speaker 7: Dustin may, Tony Gonsolin, Landon Knack, and thankfully Clayton Kershaw.
Speaker 6: Coming back on Saturday.
Speaker 7: And then you have a bullpen Ben Kasparius type of
Speaker 7: spot in the rotation that we very well may see
Speaker 7: on Thursday, because that's when Sazaki was supposed to pitch.
Speaker 7: So that's where the Dodger rotation stands right now.
Speaker 6: And I have said this.
Speaker 7: I have said this many times over the years, Even
Speaker 7: at this stage of Kershaw's when the Dodgers seem to
Speaker 7: need him the most, he always seems to be there.
Speaker 7: And the Dodgers really need Clayton Kershaw, and he's going
Speaker 7: to be there. He is going to start on Saturday.
Speaker 7: His first start is Saturday against the Angels, when the
Speaker 7: Dodgers are in desperate need of not just starting pitching,
Speaker 7: but quality is starting pitching. And I know it's his
Speaker 7: first start of the year, so he's not going seven innings,
Speaker 7: but you never know with Kershaw, you never know. He's
Speaker 7: at least going to give them five. He's going to
Speaker 7: compete against an Angels team that's not very good these days.
Speaker 7: They are without Mike Trout. So I wouldn't put anything
Speaker 7: past Kershaw going more than five innings if he's economic
Speaker 7: with his pitches, and who's to say he won't be
Speaker 7: so again, when the Dodgers need Kershaw the most. He's
Speaker 7: there for them and he's going to be there Saturday.
Speaker 7: And we caught up with Kershew yeah before today's game,
Speaker 7: and you can hear that conversation on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 7: Eight six six two five seventy is the phone number.
Speaker 7: Let's go out to the phones, Manny in Valencia. You're
Speaker 7: on Dodger Talk live from Dodgers Stadium.
Speaker 2: Hi, Manny, Hey days.
Speaker 4: I think Colin got my name wrong. It's actually Awestome Blest,
Speaker 4: but it's okay. I just wanted to ask and to
Speaker 4: reiterate again, how concerned are we about the starting pitch
Speaker 4: and regarding Roki going down today? And I know Kershaw's
Speaker 4: coming back, but outside of Yamamoto and Rokieers the other
Speaker 4: you know, Blake, Snow and Glass now haven't been able
Speaker 4: to show up and haven't been able to eat and
Speaker 4: as we needed so far. So I just wanted to
Speaker 4: say how concerned we are. And then the second comment
Speaker 4: I had is, I know at the beginning of the
Speaker 4: year you said we were able to share where we
Speaker 4: were for the World Series, the first Tame the World
Speaker 4: Series last year, and I just wanted to mention that
Speaker 4: I was here alone, went once to the game by
Speaker 4: myself and I sat in top deck in section in
Speaker 4: the third row by myself, and it was an amazing
Speaker 4: time and to be a Lucie Freddy Freedman's grand slas. Anyways,
Speaker 4: always for your answerper thank you so much, David.
Speaker 7: All right, thank you for the phone call. Yeah, that's
Speaker 7: pretty cool. You know, World Series tickets are expensive. Sometimes
Speaker 7: you got to go solo, and that's a great memory
Speaker 7: for you. As far as the concern over the Dodgers
Speaker 7: starting pitching, look, as much as everybody was hyping it
Speaker 7: up to start the year, I wasn't on that train.
Speaker 7: By the second half of the season, I thought the
Speaker 7: Dodgers starting pitching rotation was going to look a lot
Speaker 7: better than what it did on opening day. You had
Speaker 7: an inexperienced Roki Sazaki. He obviously is still going through
Speaker 7: the growing pains, and now he's got something going on
Speaker 7: with his shoulder and maybe a breather mentally is good
Speaker 7: for him as well. You had Kershaw starting the year
Speaker 7: on the il. You had Tyler Glass now coming off
Speaker 7: missing the second half of last year with really no
Speaker 7: indication on what exactly was going on. And then now
Speaker 7: we're seeing kind of the same thing where the Dodgers
Speaker 7: Dave Roberts really haven't given us a clear answer of
Speaker 7: what really is going on with him, but it seems
Speaker 7: like last now may be picking up a baseball sooner
Speaker 7: than Blake Snell. We had Blake Snell on the pregame
Speaker 7: show during the road trip. He didn't seem that concern,
Speaker 7: but his demeanor today told me otherwise. And the reality
Speaker 7: is that Blake Snell picks up a baseball tomorrow and
Speaker 7: starts playing catch from sixty feet, there's going to be
Speaker 7: a build up that is going to take time for
Speaker 7: him to be able to pitch and be Blake Snell
Speaker 7: in a major league game. So that's probably going to
Speaker 7: take at least four weeks, So don't expect him back
Speaker 7: on a major league noun for at least four weeks.
Speaker 6: So that's where things are right now.
Speaker 7: And if we want to get more clarity on what's
Speaker 7: going on with Roki Sazaki, let's head downstairs to the
Speaker 7: press conference room, because that's all Dave Roberts was asked
Speaker 7: about after tonight's eleven to one loss.
Speaker 6: What's going on with Roki Sazaki.
Speaker 8: I think everything that we know is he has there's
Speaker 8: an impingement in his shoulder that it's similar to what
Speaker 8: he had last year. We became aware of this after
Speaker 8: his last start in Arizona, and from what we gather
Speaker 8: is he's felt some discomfort for the last few weeks,
Speaker 8: but given where we're at as a pitching staff, he
Speaker 8: wanted to continue to go and persevere and fight through
Speaker 8: everything until he felt that his performance is going to
Speaker 8: be compromised, and so that's when he let us know
Speaker 8: where he was at physically. Point in time. We wanted
Speaker 8: to make sure that he was taken care of physically,
Speaker 8: so we got some scans yesterday and it showed an
Speaker 8: impingement in the shoulder. And so with that information, as
Speaker 8: benign edited as it is, unfortunately where he's that, we
Speaker 8: felt what as we've done with most of our pictures,
Speaker 8: potentially all of our pictures, is air on the side
Speaker 8: of caution, and so that's why we felt to put
Speaker 8: him on the il. Let this thing calm down and
Speaker 8: build him back to where he is and he can
Speaker 8: be one hundred percent and then get him back out there.
Speaker 4: Just give him the.
Speaker 3: Chance to maybe you start over as ads to shift
Speaker 3: through some camples.
Speaker 6: Overall, basic how before times you guys would have wanted to.
Speaker 3: Sort of do the him.
Speaker 8: I think so. And obviously, you know, we didn't know
Speaker 8: what to expect this year, but to think that he
Speaker 8: was going to go wired to wired, given his track
Speaker 8: record and history of innings, probably unrealistic. So this could
Speaker 8: be that little bit of reprieve in the middle of
Speaker 8: a season that we can get him back to being healthy,
Speaker 8: feeling strong on one hundred percent and you know, help
Speaker 8: us get you know, through the World Series.
Speaker 7: All right, there's manager Dave Roberts telling us as much
Speaker 7: as he wants to tell us about Roki Sazaki's.
Speaker 6: Right shoulder impingement.
Speaker 7: And when he's talking about a reprieve in a season,
Speaker 7: that tells me he's not coming back in two weeks. Uh,
Speaker 7: this is going to be an extended period of time.
Speaker 7: And you heard Dave talk about last year. And that's
Speaker 7: what I was told from the people with his team
Speaker 7: Lote in Japan and the writers that covered him in
Speaker 7: Japan that he did, you know, be they don't have
Speaker 7: an injured list in the Japanese league, so he was
Speaker 7: removed from the roster with some shoulder discomfort. So that's
Speaker 7: what is popping up again. And you know, honestly, this
Speaker 7: is the right thing to do, because Sazaki was pitching
Speaker 7: once a week, and when he was pitching, he wasn't
Speaker 7: pitching well, let's be quite honest. And if that's what
Speaker 7: was causing the reason for him only going four innings,
Speaker 7: because he had only gone four innings in half of
Speaker 7: his starts this season. So that's putting the Dodger pitching
Speaker 7: staff in a compromised position just to give him extra
Speaker 7: days of rest.
Speaker 6: And then when you're.
Speaker 7: Only pitching once a week and going four or less
Speaker 7: innings and half of your starts, you're putting the pitching staff,
Speaker 7: the bullpen in a really bad position, not only the
Speaker 7: day that you're pitching, but the next couple of games
Speaker 7: as well. So there's a domino effect. And like I
Speaker 7: said about the starts that Tyler glassnow is having, it's
Speaker 7: not just about Glass now, It's not just about Sazaki,
Speaker 7: it's about the team. It's not just about one pitcher,
Speaker 7: it's about a pitching staff. So this was the right decision.
Speaker 7: Eight six six two five seventy is the phone number.
Speaker 7: Let's go out to Cessan. You're on Dodger Talk. Did
Speaker 7: I get that right?
Speaker 1: Yes, so I got that way, Thank you so much.
Speaker 4: Save.
Speaker 1: I just what was at the game today? I just
Speaker 1: wanted to say today the highlight for me was seeing
Speaker 1: Mookie bets son during the first pitch. That was a
Speaker 1: great experience and really funny to see him run out
Speaker 1: almost the little guy for the outfield, you know, maybe
Speaker 1: one day like his dad.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 7: Yeah, he's uh, he's got it. I mean he's got
Speaker 7: the jeans right, so that's cool. Yeah, and how about
Speaker 7: the bobblehead tonight? Sasan it's Mookie Betts running the first
Speaker 7: base in last year's Game five of the World Series
Speaker 7: and uh, perfectly done because Anthony Ruzzo is still nowhere
Speaker 7: close to first base even with this bobblehead.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was a great, great uh job by the
Speaker 1: you know, Dodgers team to make that bobble ahead.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: I guess my question was really just a follow up
Speaker 1: just about the rokiesa situation just about you know, is
Speaker 1: it too early for the Dodgers to, you know, consider
Speaker 1: making a move to bring in more pitching. I just
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 6: A lot of pitching. They've got quantity, they need some quality.
Speaker 1: Now, Yeah that's true.
Speaker 7: I mean, yeah, trades are not made. Trades are not
Speaker 7: made at this time. You know what I would do, Sissan,
Speaker 7: quite honestly. Yeah, and he has been the most underrated
Speaker 7: pitcher on this pitching staff, starter bullpen. Just let Ben
Speaker 7: Caspiraus go back to being a starting pitcher. You need
Speaker 7: a starting pitcher. Ben Casparius could be that guy. And
Speaker 7: I didn't have an issue with what we saw the
Speaker 7: last time he appeared in a game where it was
Speaker 7: Jack Dryer opening for an inning and a third and
Speaker 7: then Caspirius. Those two guys have been phenomenal. But if
Speaker 7: we're gonna do this, why not just stretch out Caspiraus
Speaker 7: to be a starting pitcher. This guy started Game four
Speaker 7: the World Series. His first start in baseball and Major
Speaker 7: League Baseball was in the World Series. He's good enough
Speaker 7: to be a starter. But I'm fine also with the
Speaker 7: bulk innings type of situation for now. But I have
Speaker 7: full confidence that Ben Cospiraus could be a starting pitcher,
Speaker 7: especially where the rotation's.
Speaker 6: At right now.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree. I think that could be a good move,
Speaker 1: especially since he's already in house and has that experience. Anyway,
Speaker 1: I appreciate it. Dave, Thank you so much for all
Speaker 1: that you do, and you hope to call in tomorrow
Speaker 1: after tomorrow's game against the Athletics.
Speaker 6: Take care, all right, I hope you do too. Thanks
Speaker 6: for the phone call.
Speaker 7: Yeah, at this point, you know, I like what we
Speaker 7: saw the last time, the combination of Dryer and Conspiraus
Speaker 7: as a one to two punch at the beginning of
Speaker 7: the game.
Speaker 6: That really worked out well.
Speaker 7: But I have full confidence Casparius could start the game
Speaker 7: on his own, no doubt about it. Eight six to six,
Speaker 7: nine seven, two, five seventy is the phone number. How
Speaker 7: about a Major League baseball tonight? What a night. Five
Speaker 7: walkoff hits, four two homer games. One of them was
Speaker 7: here Jacob Wilson at a Thousand Oaks High school hitting
Speaker 7: a pair of two run home runs, three walkoff homers,
Speaker 7: two grand slams. Just an incredible, dramatic night in Major
Speaker 7: League baseball. And you will hear coming up after we
Speaker 7: check in with Jose Mota, two former Dodgers involved in
Speaker 7: three of their two out of the three walk off
Speaker 7: wins tonight. So we will share that with you. The
Speaker 7: radio calls of what took place in the Cubs game
Speaker 7: and the Angels Padres game. Let's go out to Sandy
Speaker 7: who is at Dodgers Stadium tonight.
Speaker 6: Hi Sandy, you're on Dodger Talk.
Speaker 3: Hi David. Well, this wasn't exactly the worst game. I
Speaker 3: think it was two years ago. It was a twelve
Speaker 3: to one loss. At least there were fireworks after that game.
Speaker 6: Sixteenth lost earlier this year too, that.
Speaker 7: Was the worst franchise history.
Speaker 3: I wasn't there for that one, but for that fit
Speaker 3: in the load section and directly next to us are
Speaker 3: the visitors, So we had tons of Yankees right directly
Speaker 3: across the aisle from it, and they were pounding on
Speaker 3: the seats in the top of the beginning and just
Speaker 3: going crazy. And then Freddy hit that home run and
Speaker 3: we were like, we were going crazy and hugging everybody,
Speaker 3: and then a bunch of us turned to them and
Speaker 3: just said bye bye and wave and they were just silent.
Speaker 3: It was the best, the best, it really was. Yeah, definitely,
Speaker 3: it was great.
Speaker 6: Hey, sounds great.
Speaker 7: Thanks a lot for sharing that great story on a
Speaker 7: night that Dodgers lose eleven to one.
Speaker 6: Thanks Sandy.
Speaker 7: Love hearing it, and all season long, I don't care
Speaker 7: if the Dodgers lose eleven to one. They went fifteen
Speaker 7: to nothing all year long, randomly. If you call in
Speaker 7: and say I want to tell you where I was
Speaker 7: when Freddie Freeman hit his walk off Grand Slam, you
Speaker 7: are more than welcome. Even Holly Robinson Pete shared where
Speaker 7: she was when Kirk Gibson hit his home run in
Speaker 7: eighty eight and where she was when Freddie Freeman hit
Speaker 7: his walk off Grand Slam last year here at Dodgers Stadium.
Speaker 7: A little hint, Holly Robinson Pete was in two different
Speaker 7: countries when those home runs were hit. You can call
Speaker 7: in anytime, Holly, don't let Rodney hold you back. Eight
Speaker 7: six six nine eight seven two five seventy is the
Speaker 7: phone number. We're gonna take a time out here on
Speaker 7: Dodger Talk. When we continue, we'll check in with Jose
Speaker 7: Mota and we'll share with you how two former Dodgers
Speaker 7: were involved in two of the four walk off and
Speaker 7: in Major League Baseball. Tonight no walk off here tonight
Speaker 7: A's beat the Dodgers going Away eleven to one on

Speaker 10: One out and one on and the pitch to Wilson
Speaker 10: is lifted down the left field side toward the bullpen.
Speaker 6: Gone. That's a home run for Jacob.
Speaker 10: Wilson and the Athletics on the board it is two
Speaker 10: to nothing. Jacob Wilson with his fourth home run.
Speaker 7: Jacob Wilson at On Thousand Oaks High School comes back
Speaker 7: home and has a four hit game, a pair of
Speaker 7: two run home runs off of land and neck. That
Speaker 7: one was the first one in the third inning. The
Speaker 7: second one came in the fifth inning. Jacob Wilson a
Speaker 7: career high four RBIs tonight. He has four hits and
Speaker 7: he's hitting three sixty three. Daniels Jewelers presents the home

Speaker 7: David Vase with you until the top of the hour
Speaker 7: live from Dodgers Stadium. After the Dodgers fall to the
Speaker 7: A's eleven to one. Before we hear from the two
Speaker 7: former Dodgers and their involvement in two of the five
Speaker 7: walk off finishes in Major League Baseball.
Speaker 6: Tonight, let's check in with our guy, Jose Moda.
Speaker 9: It's time to go around the horn with Jose Mota.
Speaker 7: Jose Mota filled in for Rick Monday, who is with
Speaker 7: his family for a wedding. His stepson is getting married
Speaker 7: this week, so Jose is pinch hitting like his father
Speaker 7: always used to. And who knows, maybe Manny Mota pinch
Speaker 7: hit for Rick Monday a couple of times, right, Jose.
Speaker 2: I bet he did, and I bet Ricardo Lunaz was
Speaker 2: not very happy sometimes about that.
Speaker 6: Not too many people were. How is your pops?
Speaker 2: He is doing much better on his outpatient rehab, doing
Speaker 2: quite well. Got to see him today. We'll go see
Speaker 2: him to the next few days. We're home. So he's
Speaker 2: in good spirits and hopefully he'll make an appearance at
Speaker 2: the ballpipe very soon that.
Speaker 7: Will make him feel really well, which shows up here. Hey,
Speaker 7: I got Let's talk about the good stuff with the
Speaker 7: Dodgers tonight. I've dissected the bad stuff already. Michael Confordo
Speaker 7: busting out of a slump tonight, Jose with three doubles,
Speaker 7: a career high.
Speaker 2: What do you think about that? The conviction of the
Speaker 2: swing is quite different, The foul balls were different, the
Speaker 2: play coverage was different, and the confidence obviously has gon
Speaker 2: since he started hit the ball so hard over at
Speaker 2: Miami get some results. Over in Arizona, goes three for
Speaker 2: ten and before you know it today with two strikes,
Speaker 2: driving the ball gap to gap, So a good sign
Speaker 2: they needed this. He needed this really bad and it
Speaker 2: comes in and not with everybody else pretty much was
Speaker 2: off beyond he and Will Smith and I love the
Speaker 2: fact that he's started together but really swinging the ball
Speaker 2: with confidence today.
Speaker 7: Dave Robertson was talking about that in Arizona, that even
Speaker 7: though Confordo wasn't getting the results, he liked the advance
Speaker 7: that he was taking all of a sudden, Now a
Speaker 7: three double night. Is that kind of the work that
Speaker 7: Dave roberts was seen paying off tonight.
Speaker 2: Of course, and you mentioned it very well too. Remember
Speaker 2: during spring training how much time Dave roberts spent with
Speaker 2: Michael in the backfield and just instituting in him the
Speaker 2: fact that sometimes he's got to go out there and
Speaker 2: take a very aggressive swing, don't be afraid of missing
Speaker 2: sometimes forget about the mechanics, to see the ball, hit
Speaker 2: it as hard as he can. So it's good to
Speaker 2: see a guy like this because Dave Roberts quite you know,
Speaker 2: clearly say last week we're gonna stick with him because
Speaker 2: we know there's a track record, and Michael Gofordo has
Speaker 2: never been this slow of a starter. So he figured
Speaker 2: at some point if he says whether it puts his
Speaker 2: work on what he does, it's going to come out
Speaker 2: because he's a big part of that part of that
Speaker 2: mind and you know, a bottom third and the results coming. Obviously,
Speaker 2: it's only going to post your confidence without looking for
Speaker 2: the power swing, very control swing, controlling the zone. Tonight,
Speaker 2: hopefully he'll stay right there and not look for power
Speaker 2: from here on.
Speaker 7: We were talking about the Dodger rotation. With Roki Sazaki
Speaker 7: now going on the injured list. Do you have three
Speaker 7: pitchers the Dodgers were counting on at different points in
Speaker 7: time this season all on the injured list, and Glass,
Speaker 7: now Snell and now Sizaki. What do you think about
Speaker 7: my suggestion of Ben Casparius being thrust into the rotation.
Speaker 6: Considering where things are right.
Speaker 2: Now, He's ready. He's ready for the challenge. He's up
Speaker 2: up to seventy pitches already. He can go out there
Speaker 2: and give you five or six innings. And I think
Speaker 2: he wants it, truly. I had a conversation with him
Speaker 2: over in Arizona. The way his stuff plays out, in
Speaker 2: the way that he attacks zones, and the way he's
Speaker 2: able to pitch backwards and also adapt through the lineup.
Speaker 2: I am quite sure he will welcome the challenge. I
Speaker 2: remember that one outing against a cuddler, they found something
Speaker 2: on him with a glove and he yes, he switched
Speaker 2: out off. He phrased it cubs again, and he stymied them.
Speaker 2: So they said, he's not afraid of going out there
Speaker 2: against anybody and putting someone else. The Dodgers need somebody
Speaker 2: to please get him through at least five nues because
Speaker 2: the bullpen, we know, as you.
Speaker 1: Mentioned many times here tonight, is totally overworked.
Speaker 7: Before I let you go, Jose, we talked about this
Speaker 7: before the game on the pregame show. The A's are
Speaker 7: not the Pirates, the White Sox, or the Rockies. They're
Speaker 7: a very competitive young team despite not being not really
Speaker 7: having a home, kind of being a nomad in Major
Speaker 7: League Baseball. Jacob Wilson coming home from Thousand Oaks High School.
Speaker 7: How impressed were you with Wilson seeing him in person?
Speaker 2: Watch this guy from the time he took the field
Speaker 2: for stretching, to his ground bowl routine to his batting practice,
Speaker 2: I'm not shocked at all. His daughters taught him right
Speaker 2: Thousand Olds High School, Grand Canyon University basketball skills. Something
Speaker 2: funny that I will quick out on Anatolians that in
Speaker 2: modern day baseball, he doesn't fit the mold of anybody
Speaker 2: that could be a good hitter, because baby, he has
Speaker 2: three barrels this year. Three barrels this year. Go look
Speaker 2: that up and you'll see that it just doesn't fit.
Speaker 2: But you know what, he's just a good ball player,
Speaker 2: great iq, great instincts, and he crushes his tanks great too,
Speaker 2: strike hitter, and there's not very many bad things are
Speaker 2: going to find that swing. Because also he had a
Speaker 2: fifteen pounds during the offseason. As a suggested to him,
Speaker 2: because for nice like this, if you run to something,
Speaker 2: I want you to think about driving the ball and
Speaker 2: the gaff or even out of the wallpark. So really
Speaker 2: a very nice future for that young man because he
Speaker 2: plays his game not worried about anything else, analytics or
Speaker 2: you know, eggs of a lot of city or anything
Speaker 2: like that. Just he gets a lot of bassits no
Speaker 2: doubt about it.
Speaker 7: Yeah, he gets hits. He doesn't strike out, and he
Speaker 7: doesn't walk. There's not too many players that are that
Speaker 7: good that do those type of thing.
Speaker 2: I wouldn't mind more players taking that approach and being
Speaker 2: better hitters and better better players and not getting to
Speaker 2: cut up and all the other stuff. They're being thrown
Speaker 2: out right now.
Speaker 7: No doubt, Jose, I love watching this kid play. Hopefully
Speaker 7: he has a good rest of the series, but the
