<v Speaker 2>What a performance for the Dodger rookie right hander, just

6
00:00:21.640 --> 00:00:25.120
<v Speaker 2>what they needed as the Dodgers get the win in

7
00:00:25.199 --> 00:00:28.399
<v Speaker 2>Houston six to two. Hi, everybody, and welcome to postgame

8
00:00:28.480 --> 00:00:31.559
<v Speaker 2>Dodger Talk here on AM five to seventy LA's Sports.

9
00:00:31.600 --> 00:00:33.960
<v Speaker 3>Thanks for being with us live everywhere.

10
00:00:33.840 --> 00:00:37.159
<v Speaker 2>On the iHeartRadio app wherever you may be on this

11
00:00:37.280 --> 00:00:41.280
<v Speaker 2>Sunday afternoon and join this beautiful warm weather, whether you're

12
00:00:41.280 --> 00:00:43.960
<v Speaker 2>at the beach, by the pool, by the lake, driving around,

13
00:00:44.079 --> 00:00:46.640
<v Speaker 2>just running errands, whatever you're doing, Thanks for being a

14
00:00:46.640 --> 00:00:50.079
<v Speaker 2>part of your Sunday afternoon. Eight sixty six nine eighty

15
00:00:50.119 --> 00:00:52.320
<v Speaker 2>seven two five seventy is our number. I got one

16
00:00:52.359 --> 00:00:54.719
<v Speaker 2>line open for you Dodger fans if you want to

17
00:00:54.759 --> 00:00:57.399
<v Speaker 2>grab it right now. Eight six six nine eight seven

18
00:00:57.560 --> 00:01:01.240
<v Speaker 2>two five seventy is the Dodgers get the win in Houston,

19
00:01:01.600 --> 00:01:03.920
<v Speaker 2>and I think it's one of those exhale moments with

20
00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:04.640
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers.

21
00:01:06.079 --> 00:01:07.560
<v Speaker 3>You needed to get this win.

22
00:01:07.519 --> 00:01:10.640
<v Speaker 2>To avoid getting swept in Houston, to have that taste

23
00:01:10.719 --> 00:01:13.879
<v Speaker 2>going into your mouth into Tuesday's matchup against the San

24
00:01:13.879 --> 00:01:17.239
<v Speaker 2>Diego Padres. And I think for a couple of reasons. One, yeah,

25
00:01:17.239 --> 00:01:18.920
<v Speaker 2>you got a day off tomorrow, and the last thing

26
00:01:18.959 --> 00:01:21.159
<v Speaker 2>you want is just lingering over your head that you

27
00:01:21.239 --> 00:01:25.000
<v Speaker 2>got swept in Houston. The sky is falling. It's the

28
00:01:25.079 --> 00:01:27.159
<v Speaker 2>end of the world. We can't win on the road.

29
00:01:27.239 --> 00:01:29.079
<v Speaker 2>We're struggling away from Dodgers Stadium.

30
00:01:29.400 --> 00:01:32.599
<v Speaker 3>Two, you have the trade deadline. That's Tuesday at three

31
00:01:32.599 --> 00:01:33.519
<v Speaker 3>o'clock Pacific.

32
00:01:33.599 --> 00:01:36.319
<v Speaker 2>So the next time the Dodgers play a game, there

33
00:01:36.359 --> 00:01:39.719
<v Speaker 2>could be some moves made or moves not made in

34
00:01:39.799 --> 00:01:43.200
<v Speaker 2>that Dodgers clubhouse. Guys could be coming, could be going,

35
00:01:43.439 --> 00:01:45.280
<v Speaker 2>We just don't know. Over the course of the next

36
00:01:45.319 --> 00:01:48.079
<v Speaker 2>forty eight hours away from this trade deadline, with this

37
00:01:48.159 --> 00:01:52.159
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers team could look like the final two months of

38
00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:55.959
<v Speaker 2>this regular season, and come the postseason could look drastically different.

39
00:01:56.040 --> 00:01:59.159
<v Speaker 2>Could be some additions, could be no additions to this

40
00:01:59.239 --> 00:02:03.400
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers team. So that's something also lingering the trade deadline

41
00:02:03.439 --> 00:02:05.480
<v Speaker 2>between the now and the next time the Dodgers play.

42
00:02:05.719 --> 00:02:08.680
<v Speaker 2>And I think for guys like River Ryan, this Dodgers bullpen.

43
00:02:09.080 --> 00:02:12.080
<v Speaker 2>They needed to get some positivity and get something good

44
00:02:12.120 --> 00:02:15.199
<v Speaker 2>on paper moving into their next start, into their next game,

45
00:02:15.199 --> 00:02:18.319
<v Speaker 2>and certainly this Dodgers' bullpen has something now to build on,

46
00:02:18.400 --> 00:02:21.840
<v Speaker 2>especially Joe Kelly and Brent Honeywell eight six six nine

47
00:02:21.840 --> 00:02:25.199
<v Speaker 2>eight seven two five seventy. For River Ryan, it was

48
00:02:25.240 --> 00:02:28.039
<v Speaker 2>exactly what he needed to do. Get a second start

49
00:02:28.039 --> 00:02:30.759
<v Speaker 2>in the big leagues, away from Dodgers Stadium, against a

50
00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:33.800
<v Speaker 2>good offense in the Houston Astros, against a team that

51
00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:36.680
<v Speaker 2>plays in a small band box, if you will, that

52
00:02:36.759 --> 00:02:39.639
<v Speaker 2>is minute made park, with the short left field high wall,

53
00:02:39.719 --> 00:02:43.759
<v Speaker 2>the short right field foul poll down the line, it's a.

54
00:02:43.719 --> 00:02:44.719
<v Speaker 3>Tough place to pitch.

55
00:02:45.120 --> 00:02:48.080
<v Speaker 2>Certainly, there's some gaps in left center and right center

56
00:02:48.120 --> 00:02:50.840
<v Speaker 2>field that are open and the ball plays there, but

57
00:02:51.159 --> 00:02:53.719
<v Speaker 2>down the lines to left and right field, the ball

58
00:02:53.759 --> 00:02:56.080
<v Speaker 2>gets out quickly because of the short porches there on

59
00:02:56.159 --> 00:02:58.680
<v Speaker 2>both sides, and it could be tough for starting pitchers.

60
00:02:59.280 --> 00:03:02.919
<v Speaker 2>River Ryan came out and had a leadoff walk and

61
00:03:02.960 --> 00:03:05.960
<v Speaker 2>then walk the second batter of the game. Alex Bregman

62
00:03:07.039 --> 00:03:10.120
<v Speaker 2>and I thought, probably like in many of you Dodger fans,

63
00:03:10.439 --> 00:03:13.240
<v Speaker 2>just like I felt with Clayton Kershaw on the mound

64
00:03:13.639 --> 00:03:16.039
<v Speaker 2>the last time I did Dodger Talk with you on Thursday?

65
00:03:16.759 --> 00:03:20.599
<v Speaker 2>Uh oh, what's gonna happen? Are the wheels gonna fall off?

66
00:03:20.680 --> 00:03:23.080
<v Speaker 2>Is this gonna be a bullpen game? Are we gonna

67
00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:26.360
<v Speaker 2>see River Ryan implode on the mound in his second start?

68
00:03:26.960 --> 00:03:29.039
<v Speaker 2>Just like with Clayton Kershaw got into some trouble in

69
00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:30.400
<v Speaker 2>the third inning on Thursday.

70
00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:32.960
<v Speaker 3>Uh oh, how is he gonna respond?

71
00:03:33.560 --> 00:03:36.599
<v Speaker 2>How is he gonna go out there and navigate himself

72
00:03:36.879 --> 00:03:41.719
<v Speaker 2>through a tough situation against the San Francisco Giants? Now today,

73
00:03:41.919 --> 00:03:44.759
<v Speaker 2>first and second nobody out back to back walks in

74
00:03:44.840 --> 00:03:47.560
<v Speaker 2>the first inning to al Tuo Vey and Bregman. He

75
00:03:47.639 --> 00:03:52.039
<v Speaker 2>buckles down Jordan Alvarez flies out to left for the

76
00:03:52.039 --> 00:03:55.840
<v Speaker 2>first out of the first inning, and then get to

77
00:03:55.840 --> 00:03:58.879
<v Speaker 2>youan air Diaz to ground out on a six four

78
00:03:58.879 --> 00:04:02.360
<v Speaker 2>to three double play. Right before that, Rick Monday said

79
00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:05.280
<v Speaker 2>on the broadcast here man, a double play ball would

80
00:04:05.280 --> 00:04:08.000
<v Speaker 2>make everything feel a lot better for River Ryan to

81
00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:08.840
<v Speaker 2>get out of this inning.

82
00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:10.400
<v Speaker 3>And exactly what he did.

83
00:04:10.479 --> 00:04:13.560
<v Speaker 2>He had a sinker ball down in the strike zone

84
00:04:13.960 --> 00:04:16.480
<v Speaker 2>and he gets Diaz to ground out to a met

85
00:04:16.519 --> 00:04:18.959
<v Speaker 2>it short and start a six ' four to three

86
00:04:19.120 --> 00:04:23.519
<v Speaker 2>double play inning over and he gets out of what

87
00:04:23.600 --> 00:04:25.920
<v Speaker 2>was a leadoff walk, and then a'll walk to the

88
00:04:25.959 --> 00:04:29.360
<v Speaker 2>second battery he faced in Bregman, and he felt really

89
00:04:29.360 --> 00:04:31.959
<v Speaker 2>good about River Ryan at that point. Comes back out

90
00:04:31.959 --> 00:04:35.000
<v Speaker 2>in the second, strikes out the first two batters he faces,

91
00:04:35.240 --> 00:04:37.639
<v Speaker 2>comes back in the third, a lead off walk, gets

92
00:04:37.680 --> 00:04:39.759
<v Speaker 2>around that with a couple of strikeouts in a flyout.

93
00:04:40.199 --> 00:04:43.199
<v Speaker 2>Anytime he faced adversity, he was able to get out

94
00:04:43.240 --> 00:04:45.639
<v Speaker 2>of it. And there's a theme here that I'm getting to.

95
00:04:46.600 --> 00:04:49.199
<v Speaker 2>First inning, first and second, nobody out, gets out of it.

96
00:04:49.519 --> 00:04:53.000
<v Speaker 2>Third inning, lead off walk, gets out of it, fifth inning,

97
00:04:53.399 --> 00:04:56.920
<v Speaker 2>leadoff double, and he was able to get around the

98
00:04:56.959 --> 00:04:59.639
<v Speaker 2>Singleton double off the wall in center field by getting

99
00:04:59.639 --> 00:05:00.920
<v Speaker 2>a ground ball out and then a.

100
00:05:00.920 --> 00:05:05.000
<v Speaker 3>Runner at third in a one nothing game. This was huge.

101
00:05:05.800 --> 00:05:09.279
<v Speaker 2>Singleton leads off the fifth inning, Dodgers has just scored

102
00:05:09.319 --> 00:05:12.959
<v Speaker 2>to take a lead one nothing. Singleton doubles off the

103
00:05:13.000 --> 00:05:16.399
<v Speaker 2>wall in center tye and run at second base, moves

104
00:05:16.480 --> 00:05:19.160
<v Speaker 2>over to third on the ground ball out, and what

105
00:05:19.199 --> 00:05:20.240
<v Speaker 2>does River Ryan do.

106
00:05:21.519 --> 00:05:24.639
<v Speaker 3>It was impressive. Carrottini strikes out.

107
00:05:25.920 --> 00:05:29.279
<v Speaker 2>Then the next batter two outs, he strikes out and

108
00:05:29.360 --> 00:05:31.800
<v Speaker 2>gets out of the jam no runs for the Astros.

109
00:05:32.000 --> 00:05:34.240
<v Speaker 2>They strand the tye and runner at third with one

110
00:05:34.279 --> 00:05:37.000
<v Speaker 2>out because River Ryan got back to back punch outs

111
00:05:37.319 --> 00:05:40.079
<v Speaker 2>to end the fifth inning, got out of his own

112
00:05:40.199 --> 00:05:44.600
<v Speaker 2>messes in the first, third and fifth inning. In the

113
00:05:44.720 --> 00:05:51.519
<v Speaker 2>sixth inning, a leadoff double by All two V. Bregman

114
00:05:51.639 --> 00:05:56.680
<v Speaker 2>flies out to center. Alvarez flies out to center on

115
00:05:56.720 --> 00:05:57.680
<v Speaker 2>a one to two pitch.

116
00:05:59.279 --> 00:05:59.920
<v Speaker 3>All two Vs.

117
00:06:00.120 --> 00:06:03.800
<v Speaker 2>Tranded at second because of fly ball outs back to

118
00:06:03.879 --> 00:06:07.079
<v Speaker 2>back from Bregman and an Alvarez and two great catches

119
00:06:07.120 --> 00:06:11.720
<v Speaker 2>and throws back to third by ALBN. You can't underscore that,

120
00:06:12.680 --> 00:06:16.560
<v Speaker 2>holding the runner at second base not allowing him to

121
00:06:16.600 --> 00:06:19.360
<v Speaker 2>advance on deep fly balls there to center field.

122
00:06:19.399 --> 00:06:21.079
<v Speaker 3>Great job by James Allman.

123
00:06:21.240 --> 00:06:23.439
<v Speaker 2>Rick Monday addressed it on the broadcast and said he

124
00:06:23.480 --> 00:06:25.959
<v Speaker 2>did a great job getting behind the ball, getting this

125
00:06:26.040 --> 00:06:29.680
<v Speaker 2>momentum forward and throwing the ball perfectly the third base

126
00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:32.120
<v Speaker 2>and not allowing All two bay to tag up and

127
00:06:32.120 --> 00:06:36.040
<v Speaker 2>get the third in scoring position. So two outs, runners

128
00:06:36.079 --> 00:06:40.319
<v Speaker 2>still at second base, and that's when Dave Roberts elects

129
00:06:40.759 --> 00:06:43.079
<v Speaker 2>to pull River Ryan.

130
00:06:44.079 --> 00:06:45.000
<v Speaker 3>All two Vas.

131
00:06:44.800 --> 00:06:48.560
<v Speaker 2>Stranded at second, back to back flyouts, and you're facing

132
00:06:48.560 --> 00:06:52.680
<v Speaker 2>the cleanup hitter. Diz and Dave Roberts comes out of

133
00:06:52.720 --> 00:06:54.120
<v Speaker 2>the dugout, and I'll be honest with you, I was

134
00:06:54.160 --> 00:06:57.959
<v Speaker 2>surprised what happened yesterday with Justin Robleski, And after the game,

135
00:06:58.040 --> 00:07:01.920
<v Speaker 2>Dave Roberts talked about that's when the momentum changed, and

136
00:07:01.959 --> 00:07:04.639
<v Speaker 2>you kind of heard a little bit of disappointment, I

137
00:07:04.639 --> 00:07:08.639
<v Speaker 2>guess in his voice last night. He comes back out today,

138
00:07:08.879 --> 00:07:12.839
<v Speaker 2>sitting on ninety one pitches, was River Ryan deepest he

139
00:07:12.879 --> 00:07:19.639
<v Speaker 2>had gotten this season, and he pulls him. He pulls

140
00:07:19.680 --> 00:07:23.680
<v Speaker 2>him in favor of the left hander Alex Vessia. Now

141
00:07:24.319 --> 00:07:26.720
<v Speaker 2>the numbers are what the numbers are, so to speak.

142
00:07:26.720 --> 00:07:28.560
<v Speaker 2>And I know I'm getting tweeted. Look at the reverse

143
00:07:28.680 --> 00:07:34.759
<v Speaker 2>numbers for Diez. He actually does better against right handers

144
00:07:34.800 --> 00:07:36.079
<v Speaker 2>that he does left handers.

145
00:07:36.240 --> 00:07:37.800
<v Speaker 3>Okay, I get it.

146
00:07:39.519 --> 00:07:43.600
<v Speaker 2>But right there in the moment with this kid pitching

147
00:07:43.639 --> 00:07:46.759
<v Speaker 2>his tail off, and I know you don't want to

148
00:07:46.759 --> 00:07:49.399
<v Speaker 2>be a prisoner of the moment, and certainly I hate

149
00:07:49.439 --> 00:07:52.480
<v Speaker 2>that in a game, in a series, over the course

150
00:07:52.519 --> 00:07:55.000
<v Speaker 2>of one sixty two you can get caught up in

151
00:07:55.040 --> 00:07:58.480
<v Speaker 2>that and you have to try not to. But at

152
00:07:58.480 --> 00:08:02.839
<v Speaker 2>that moment, today, second Big League outing a guy who

153
00:08:03.319 --> 00:08:05.759
<v Speaker 2>doesn't have a lot of innings underneath his belt because

154
00:08:05.759 --> 00:08:10.199
<v Speaker 2>you were slow ramping him up here in twenty twenty

155
00:08:10.279 --> 00:08:13.920
<v Speaker 2>four out of spring training to be on ninety one

156
00:08:14.000 --> 00:08:18.120
<v Speaker 2>pitches to still hit what ninety seven what was his

157
00:08:18.199 --> 00:08:22.079
<v Speaker 2>last pitch? Four seam fastball ninety six mile an hours

158
00:08:22.120 --> 00:08:24.759
<v Speaker 2>to Alvarez right before he got him to fly out

159
00:08:24.800 --> 00:08:28.079
<v Speaker 2>on a slider. So he's still pumping ninety five ninety six,

160
00:08:28.199 --> 00:08:31.560
<v Speaker 2>ninety six, ninety six, ninety one on the slider. He's

161
00:08:31.600 --> 00:08:34.399
<v Speaker 2>still got the velocity, and I get it's the third

162
00:08:34.440 --> 00:08:37.679
<v Speaker 2>time around the lineup. But after he gets the two

163
00:08:37.799 --> 00:08:40.639
<v Speaker 2>three hitters to fly out, all to of a sitting

164
00:08:40.799 --> 00:08:44.159
<v Speaker 2>at second base, you've got a three to nothing lead,

165
00:08:45.240 --> 00:08:47.799
<v Speaker 2>and in my opinion, I'm letting the kid work out

166
00:08:47.799 --> 00:08:48.039
<v Speaker 2>of it.

167
00:08:48.720 --> 00:08:51.279
<v Speaker 3>Okay, Diz comes up and.

168
00:08:51.279 --> 00:08:53.879
<v Speaker 2>River Ryan's still out there, and Ryan serves up a

169
00:08:53.879 --> 00:08:56.840
<v Speaker 2>two run home run. Okay, it's still a three to

170
00:08:56.879 --> 00:09:00.480
<v Speaker 2>two Dodgers lead, and you let the kid got there

171
00:09:00.559 --> 00:09:03.320
<v Speaker 2>and try to get himself out of that final jam.

172
00:09:03.639 --> 00:09:05.519
<v Speaker 2>You let him try to earn his way out of

173
00:09:05.519 --> 00:09:08.600
<v Speaker 2>it and get through six innings. What happens if he

174
00:09:08.639 --> 00:09:12.080
<v Speaker 2>gets a fly ball final out, It's three to nothing

175
00:09:12.519 --> 00:09:14.480
<v Speaker 2>and the kids walking off the man to a standing

176
00:09:14.559 --> 00:09:16.840
<v Speaker 2>ovation from the Dodgers fans, and he's getting a lot

177
00:09:16.840 --> 00:09:19.440
<v Speaker 2>of slaps on the rear end from his Dodger teammates

178
00:09:19.480 --> 00:09:21.840
<v Speaker 2>and coaching staff in that dugout for what he did

179
00:09:21.879 --> 00:09:24.240
<v Speaker 2>to battle out there in that sixth inning.

180
00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:25.720
<v Speaker 3>Instead, you go to Vessio.

181
00:09:25.840 --> 00:09:29.519
<v Speaker 2>Okay, you're bringing your Dodgers' bullpen, but a bullpen that's

182
00:09:29.559 --> 00:09:31.919
<v Speaker 2>been taxed, a bullpen that's faced a.

183
00:09:31.840 --> 00:09:36.000
<v Speaker 3>Lot this season. The numbers don't lie.

184
00:09:36.919 --> 00:09:42.159
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers bullpen fourth in Major League Baseball in highest usage

185
00:09:42.159 --> 00:09:46.039
<v Speaker 2>this season, fourth in all the big leagues, while the

186
00:09:46.080 --> 00:09:50.279
<v Speaker 2>starting pitchers for the Dodgers twenty fifth in the major

187
00:09:50.360 --> 00:09:51.639
<v Speaker 2>leagues and innings pitched.

188
00:09:52.279 --> 00:09:54.000
<v Speaker 3>You've asked your bullpen to do a lot.

189
00:09:55.039 --> 00:09:57.799
<v Speaker 2>I personally want to let River Ryan go out there

190
00:09:58.159 --> 00:10:01.559
<v Speaker 2>and finish that final out of the sixth. Okay, maybe

191
00:10:01.559 --> 00:10:05.960
<v Speaker 2>that last batter, because if he gets Diaz out, he's

192
00:10:06.000 --> 00:10:08.600
<v Speaker 2>through six, then you can go to the bullpen to

193
00:10:08.679 --> 00:10:10.480
<v Speaker 2>start a clean seventh inning and a three.

194
00:10:10.360 --> 00:10:12.559
<v Speaker 3>To nothing lead.

195
00:10:13.320 --> 00:10:16.320
<v Speaker 2>As it is, you take him out with two outs.

196
00:10:16.960 --> 00:10:19.159
<v Speaker 2>Diz hits a two run home one on the very

197
00:10:19.279 --> 00:10:22.360
<v Speaker 2>first pitch from Alex Vessio. Oh no, you talk about

198
00:10:22.559 --> 00:10:29.080
<v Speaker 2>worst case scenario taking River Ryan out, Dave Roberts having

199
00:10:29.120 --> 00:10:31.720
<v Speaker 2>to make that decision, and the first pitch Vessia throws

200
00:10:32.080 --> 00:10:35.399
<v Speaker 2>is an eighty nine mile an hour fastball that Diez

201
00:10:35.600 --> 00:10:38.240
<v Speaker 2>just turns on and hits a two run home run,

202
00:10:38.440 --> 00:10:38.840
<v Speaker 2>still a.

203
00:10:38.799 --> 00:10:40.039
<v Speaker 3>Three two Dodgers lead.

204
00:10:40.399 --> 00:10:43.919
<v Speaker 2>But you had that feeling in your stomach like, oh no,

205
00:10:45.600 --> 00:10:48.519
<v Speaker 2>this is last night all over again. And Tim never

206
00:10:48.600 --> 00:10:52.519
<v Speaker 2>even said, uh, oh, we've seen this before. Yeah, last night,

207
00:10:53.039 --> 00:10:55.120
<v Speaker 2>which the Dodgers blew at five nothing lead and a

208
00:10:55.159 --> 00:10:58.519
<v Speaker 2>six four lead in the eighth inning, with what happened

209
00:10:58.600 --> 00:11:01.960
<v Speaker 2>less than twenty four hours go at minute made park.

210
00:11:03.519 --> 00:11:06.639
<v Speaker 2>Looking at where River Ryan was through five and two

211
00:11:06.679 --> 00:11:09.559
<v Speaker 2>third innings, sitting on ninety one pitches, I would have

212
00:11:09.679 --> 00:11:12.440
<v Speaker 2>let him go one more better. But I'm not the manager,

213
00:11:12.720 --> 00:11:15.960
<v Speaker 2>not my decision. I'm not second guessing Dave Roberts at all.

214
00:11:16.159 --> 00:11:18.559
<v Speaker 2>I'm just telling you what I would have done if

215
00:11:18.600 --> 00:11:22.039
<v Speaker 2>I were the manager. As it turns out to run

216
00:11:22.080 --> 00:11:24.639
<v Speaker 2>home run given up by Vessia, Vessia comes back in

217
00:11:24.679 --> 00:11:26.799
<v Speaker 2>the seventh as a one to two three inning. Okay,

218
00:11:26.919 --> 00:11:30.960
<v Speaker 2>clean Dodgers' offense says, uh huh, We're not gonna keep

219
00:11:31.000 --> 00:11:32.919
<v Speaker 2>this a three to two game. We're not gonna keep

220
00:11:32.919 --> 00:11:35.639
<v Speaker 2>it a nail bier. They tacked on two in the eighth,

221
00:11:35.799 --> 00:11:37.919
<v Speaker 2>one more in the ninth and put it out of

222
00:11:37.960 --> 00:11:41.320
<v Speaker 2>reach at a six to two Dodgers' lead. Ninth innam

223
00:11:41.399 --> 00:11:46.399
<v Speaker 2>belonged to Brent Honeywell and his turtleneck, which is unbelievable

224
00:11:46.440 --> 00:11:50.159
<v Speaker 2>to see Brent Honeywell and the lettuce that's flown out

225
00:11:50.159 --> 00:11:54.960
<v Speaker 2>of the back of his hat and the turtleneck. Dude

226
00:11:54.960 --> 00:11:58.799
<v Speaker 2>looks like he's straight out of nineteen ninety three. That's

227
00:11:58.799 --> 00:12:01.399
<v Speaker 2>what he looks like pitching out on the mound. Now,

228
00:12:01.399 --> 00:12:05.559
<v Speaker 2>if he went with the old school stirrup socks that

229
00:12:06.320 --> 00:12:09.120
<v Speaker 2>guys like Scott Erickson and those dudes in the early nineties,

230
00:12:09.159 --> 00:12:12.039
<v Speaker 2>Maddix Glading, all those guys used to wear to print

231
00:12:12.039 --> 00:12:19.000
<v Speaker 2>it on, just striped stirrups that were socks that my

232
00:12:19.080 --> 00:12:22.159
<v Speaker 2>boy Rob Dibble used to wear all the time, then

233
00:12:22.200 --> 00:12:24.679
<v Speaker 2>he would really be old school nineteen ninety three ninety four.

234
00:12:25.639 --> 00:12:28.759
<v Speaker 2>But Brent Honeywell, pitch Well is eighth outing for the Dodgers,

235
00:12:29.000 --> 00:12:32.120
<v Speaker 2>comes in and get to one, two, three, ninth inning

236
00:12:32.200 --> 00:12:36.080
<v Speaker 2>in a non safe situation. But again addressing the river,

237
00:12:36.159 --> 00:12:39.879
<v Speaker 2>Ryan pulled after five and two third innings. I personally

238
00:12:40.120 --> 00:12:42.840
<v Speaker 2>would have left him in, let him get one more bet.

239
00:12:43.000 --> 00:12:44.879
<v Speaker 2>If he gives up a two run home run like

240
00:12:44.960 --> 00:12:47.159
<v Speaker 2>Vessia did, then you go out there, you take the

241
00:12:47.159 --> 00:12:49.039
<v Speaker 2>ball from the young man and say, hey, you pitched

242
00:12:49.039 --> 00:12:51.559
<v Speaker 2>your butt off. Maybe a hitter too far, but we

243
00:12:51.679 --> 00:12:56.240
<v Speaker 2>gave you the opportunity. We let you figure it out.

244
00:12:56.600 --> 00:12:58.240
<v Speaker 2>And at this time you're gonna lead with the one

245
00:12:58.320 --> 00:13:00.360
<v Speaker 2>run lead at a boy, slap him on the in,

246
00:13:00.519 --> 00:13:02.559
<v Speaker 2>let him get an innovation, and you go to Alex

247
00:13:02.639 --> 00:13:04.120
<v Speaker 2>Vessi or somebody else in the bullpen.

248
00:13:04.480 --> 00:13:06.000
<v Speaker 3>But I would have let him figured it out.

249
00:13:06.279 --> 00:13:08.679
<v Speaker 2>And I don't think you're, as Dave Roberts said, and

250
00:13:09.279 --> 00:13:12.799
<v Speaker 2>just my old opinion, I don't think you're saving himself

251
00:13:13.240 --> 00:13:17.440
<v Speaker 2>from himself, so to speak, by leaving him out there

252
00:13:17.440 --> 00:13:19.480
<v Speaker 2>for ninety one pitches and maybe trying to get to

253
00:13:19.559 --> 00:13:21.519
<v Speaker 2>ninety six, ninety seven. Maybe he gets to one hundred

254
00:13:21.559 --> 00:13:26.279
<v Speaker 2>pitches and it's too much. I think the situation, he

255
00:13:26.399 --> 00:13:27.919
<v Speaker 2>wasn't gassed, he wasn't just.

256
00:13:28.000 --> 00:13:28.720
<v Speaker 3>Dripping in sweat.

257
00:13:28.759 --> 00:13:31.480
<v Speaker 2>You're looking at him, going, man, this guy is laboring

258
00:13:32.000 --> 00:13:34.200
<v Speaker 2>from batter to batter and they're just tattooing him. He's

259
00:13:34.200 --> 00:13:37.159
<v Speaker 2>getting lucky, this ball staying in the ballpark. Oh, somebody

260
00:13:37.200 --> 00:13:40.480
<v Speaker 2>goes save himself, get him out of there. No, no, no,

261
00:13:41.559 --> 00:13:43.879
<v Speaker 2>You felt like he was still hitting ninety six ninety

262
00:13:43.919 --> 00:13:47.879
<v Speaker 2>seven and could have gone batter to batter continually there

263
00:13:48.279 --> 00:13:50.039
<v Speaker 2>in the sixth And he even said it afterwards, he

264
00:13:50.080 --> 00:13:52.159
<v Speaker 2>begged Dave Roberts to stay in the game. But you

265
00:13:52.200 --> 00:13:54.720
<v Speaker 2>know he respects the decision of the manager. They take

266
00:13:54.840 --> 00:13:57.159
<v Speaker 2>the ball from him. Alex Vessi gives Hip the two

267
00:13:57.240 --> 00:13:59.080
<v Speaker 2>run home run. As it turns out, Yeah, it's to

268
00:13:59.120 --> 00:14:01.320
<v Speaker 2>earn run there, River Ryan. You hate to see it

269
00:14:01.360 --> 00:14:03.279
<v Speaker 2>after the way he pitched, but he still gets the

270
00:14:03.320 --> 00:14:05.120
<v Speaker 2>win and the Dodgers get the win.

271
00:14:05.679 --> 00:14:06.879
<v Speaker 3>And on top of all this, the.

272
00:14:06.840 --> 00:14:10.639
<v Speaker 2>Padres lost, so that means the Dodgers pick up a

273
00:14:10.679 --> 00:14:13.120
<v Speaker 2>game on the San Diego Padres. Now six and a

274
00:14:13.159 --> 00:14:16.200
<v Speaker 2>half games up in the Division eight six seven, two

275
00:14:16.240 --> 00:14:19.360
<v Speaker 2>five seventy. Let's get some phone calls we will hear

276
00:14:19.600 --> 00:14:22.759
<v Speaker 2>from Joe Kelly coming up in just a little bit.

277
00:14:22.840 --> 00:14:26.679
<v Speaker 2>Joe Kelly was lipping off during this series from the

278
00:14:26.759 --> 00:14:30.799
<v Speaker 2>dugout at the Houston Astros and got into the game

279
00:14:30.840 --> 00:14:34.200
<v Speaker 2>today pitching in the eighth inning and was pretty pumped

280
00:14:34.279 --> 00:14:36.360
<v Speaker 2>up to be out there on the mound. And afterwards

281
00:14:36.440 --> 00:14:38.039
<v Speaker 2>David Veassi had a chance to catch up with Joe

282
00:14:38.080 --> 00:14:40.080
<v Speaker 2>Kelly because we remember all remember the powdy face? Right,

283
00:14:40.399 --> 00:14:42.440
<v Speaker 2>what was that twenty twenty the powdy face. It's all

284
00:14:42.480 --> 00:14:44.919
<v Speaker 2>famous now with Joe Kelly, the powdy face towards the

285
00:14:44.919 --> 00:14:47.240
<v Speaker 2>Houston Astros dugout even though he wasn't a member of

286
00:14:47.240 --> 00:14:48.320
<v Speaker 2>the twenty seventeen Dodgers.

287
00:14:48.360 --> 00:14:49.559
<v Speaker 3>He's with the Boston Red Sox.

288
00:14:49.600 --> 00:14:52.679
<v Speaker 2>In still he's allowed to make the powdy face, and

289
00:14:52.720 --> 00:14:54.679
<v Speaker 2>he did in twenty twenty, and he doesn't like the

290
00:14:54.720 --> 00:14:57.279
<v Speaker 2>Houston Astros. And we'll hear from Joe Kelly. Come up

291
00:14:57.279 --> 00:14:59.159
<v Speaker 2>a little bit. Let's go out to the phones. Let's

292
00:14:59.200 --> 00:15:02.200
<v Speaker 2>go too. Steven Lahabra is gonna start things off here

293
00:15:02.200 --> 00:15:04.559
<v Speaker 2>on the Sunday afternoon after the Dodgers get the win.

294
00:15:04.600 --> 00:15:06.919
<v Speaker 3>Steve I doing, I'm doing all right, Tim.

295
00:15:06.960 --> 00:15:10.559
<v Speaker 4>Hey, you know, why would the Dodgers ever consider trading

296
00:15:10.600 --> 00:15:14.200
<v Speaker 4>a River Ryan for some veteran established pitcher. I mean,

297
00:15:14.240 --> 00:15:16.480
<v Speaker 4>he's not making a lot of money. The guy can

298
00:15:16.559 --> 00:15:20.000
<v Speaker 4>obviously pitch, so you know, throw these young guys out there,

299
00:15:20.039 --> 00:15:22.799
<v Speaker 4>and if they can pitch, keep them. Why would you

300
00:15:22.840 --> 00:15:25.000
<v Speaker 4>even think about trading these guys. I would never trade

301
00:15:25.000 --> 00:15:25.679
<v Speaker 4>a River Ryan.

302
00:15:25.799 --> 00:15:29.320
<v Speaker 2>Well, I don't think. I don't think River Ryan. This

303
00:15:29.399 --> 00:15:32.360
<v Speaker 2>is my opinion, Steve, I appreciate it. I don't think

304
00:15:32.480 --> 00:15:34.919
<v Speaker 2>River Ryan is a guy that's going to be dealt

305
00:15:35.360 --> 00:15:40.159
<v Speaker 2>at the deadline. That's just my hope, certainly. Now I'll

306
00:15:40.159 --> 00:15:43.200
<v Speaker 2>get into it in a few minutes. The trade deadline

307
00:15:43.279 --> 00:15:46.840
<v Speaker 2>is a seller's market right now. And to see what

308
00:15:47.080 --> 00:15:51.240
<v Speaker 2>the Padres had to do to get some bullpen help today,

309
00:15:51.519 --> 00:15:55.120
<v Speaker 2>to see what the Angels got back in trading Estevez,

310
00:15:55.159 --> 00:15:58.480
<v Speaker 2>their closer, who's really good by the way, to the

311
00:15:58.480 --> 00:16:01.639
<v Speaker 2>Philadelphia Affilies to bulshit, they're a bullpen. They got two

312
00:16:02.279 --> 00:16:05.679
<v Speaker 2>top minor league pitchers who many consider are going to

313
00:16:05.720 --> 00:16:07.799
<v Speaker 2>be pitching in the major leagues here in the next

314
00:16:07.879 --> 00:16:11.840
<v Speaker 2>year or two real quick. The Padres today acquired Jason

315
00:16:11.919 --> 00:16:15.679
<v Speaker 2>Adam from the Tampa Bay Rays. He's a thirty two

316
00:16:15.759 --> 00:16:19.639
<v Speaker 2>year old reliever who's got a sub three ERRA, fifty

317
00:16:19.720 --> 00:16:23.080
<v Speaker 2>strikeouts and forty seven appearances. He's top ten in the

318
00:16:23.080 --> 00:16:27.399
<v Speaker 2>American League and holds appearances and has held opponents to

319
00:16:27.480 --> 00:16:29.320
<v Speaker 2>a one sixty four batting average.

320
00:16:29.360 --> 00:16:32.360
<v Speaker 3>He's had a really good year. Jason Adam.

321
00:16:33.480 --> 00:16:36.879
<v Speaker 2>Jason Adam, who's been with Kansas City, Toronto, the Cubs,

322
00:16:36.879 --> 00:16:38.919
<v Speaker 2>and with the Rays the last two years. If I

323
00:16:39.000 --> 00:16:40.759
<v Speaker 2>lined up Jason Adam and told you to pick him

324
00:16:40.759 --> 00:16:42.720
<v Speaker 2>out of a lineup, you have no idea who he was.

325
00:16:42.879 --> 00:16:45.240
<v Speaker 2>Probably still don't know who Jason Adam is. But he's

326
00:16:45.360 --> 00:16:49.960
<v Speaker 2>one of the better high leverage relievers in baseball here

327
00:16:50.000 --> 00:16:52.840
<v Speaker 2>in twenty twenty four in Tampa. Now he's going to

328
00:16:52.840 --> 00:16:57.120
<v Speaker 2>the Padres. The Padres had to give up three of

329
00:16:57.159 --> 00:17:01.840
<v Speaker 2>their top twelve minor league prospers, and this is a

330
00:17:01.840 --> 00:17:03.919
<v Speaker 2>minor league system they've had to replenish in the last

331
00:17:03.919 --> 00:17:08.160
<v Speaker 2>two years because of trades. They give up Delan LESCo,

332
00:17:08.480 --> 00:17:09.960
<v Speaker 2>who's the right hander they like.

333
00:17:10.000 --> 00:17:11.559
<v Speaker 3>A lot, JD.

334
00:17:11.640 --> 00:17:16.960
<v Speaker 2>Gonzalez, a catcher, and Homer Bush junior, an outfielder who

335
00:17:17.000 --> 00:17:20.640
<v Speaker 2>they drafted at at GCU last couple of years. Three

336
00:17:20.680 --> 00:17:24.000
<v Speaker 2>of their top top of their top twelve prospects they

337
00:17:24.000 --> 00:17:24.799
<v Speaker 2>had to give.

338
00:17:24.640 --> 00:17:26.799
<v Speaker 3>Up to get Jason Adam.

339
00:17:28.240 --> 00:17:30.519
<v Speaker 2>That's just an example of what the market is for

340
00:17:30.720 --> 00:17:34.480
<v Speaker 2>Jason Adam to be a part of your bullpen. What

341
00:17:34.519 --> 00:17:37.599
<v Speaker 2>do you think of Garrett Crochet is going to cost

342
00:17:37.599 --> 00:17:39.680
<v Speaker 2>somebody to go out and get what do you think

343
00:17:39.680 --> 00:17:42.599
<v Speaker 2>of Blake Snell? Is going to cost for a team

344
00:17:42.640 --> 00:17:44.759
<v Speaker 2>to try to go out and get a Trek Scooble.

345
00:17:44.960 --> 00:17:48.599
<v Speaker 2>That's why the asking price for these starters is through

346
00:17:48.640 --> 00:17:50.960
<v Speaker 2>the roof. In order to get one of these top

347
00:17:51.000 --> 00:17:54.000
<v Speaker 2>three starters, you are going to have to literally give

348
00:17:54.079 --> 00:17:57.920
<v Speaker 2>up your top prospects, and a lot of.

349
00:17:57.839 --> 00:18:00.759
<v Speaker 3>Them in order to get them.

350
00:18:01.240 --> 00:18:03.839
<v Speaker 2>So we'll see if the Dodgers are in the running

351
00:18:03.839 --> 00:18:06.160
<v Speaker 2>for any of these top three pitching prospects. I got

352
00:18:06.200 --> 00:18:07.880
<v Speaker 2>a couple other names out there that I think are

353
00:18:07.920 --> 00:18:10.079
<v Speaker 2>more likely the Dodgers go out and get.

354
00:18:10.119 --> 00:18:11.759
<v Speaker 3>And it's not settling.

355
00:18:11.640 --> 00:18:14.920
<v Speaker 2>By any means, but I don't think the asking price

356
00:18:15.119 --> 00:18:18.880
<v Speaker 2>is worth what you're gonna get in a starting pitcher

357
00:18:18.920 --> 00:18:21.759
<v Speaker 2>back the rest of the season. And I got more

358
00:18:21.759 --> 00:18:23.559
<v Speaker 2>on that coming up eight six, six, nine, eighty seven,

359
00:18:23.759 --> 00:18:26.359
<v Speaker 2>two five seventy. It's going to Eric in Hollywood is

360
00:18:26.400 --> 00:18:27.480

379
00:19:26.359 --> 00:19:28.599
<v Speaker 5>I hate I hate the asterisks. I hate a man.

380
00:19:28.720 --> 00:19:32.240
<v Speaker 5>But uh ah. Gotta give a shout out to LUs Yeah,

383
00:19:39.200 --> 00:19:43.039
<v Speaker 2>phone call eight six ninety seventy Andy and Lake Elsinore

384
00:19:43.119 --> 00:19:45.400
<v Speaker 2>is next up here on Dodger Talk after the Dodgers

385
00:19:45.400 --> 00:19:46.759
<v Speaker 2>defeat the Astros six to two.

386
00:19:46.759 --> 00:19:47.559
<v Speaker 3>How you doing, Andy?

387
00:19:48.440 --> 00:19:48.640
<v Speaker 6>Hey?

388
00:19:48.720 --> 00:19:48.880
<v Speaker 7>Tim?

389
00:19:48.920 --> 00:19:49.680
<v Speaker 8>How you doing today?

390
00:19:49.920 --> 00:19:50.200
<v Speaker 3>Good?

391
00:19:50.240 --> 00:19:53.640
<v Speaker 9>I was calling just I want to talk about, uh,

392
00:19:54.000 --> 00:19:56.400
<v Speaker 9>you know, Pa has going back down to the minors

393
00:19:56.480 --> 00:19:59.559
<v Speaker 9>or maybe being trade bait. But uh, when Mooki comes

394
00:19:59.640 --> 00:20:02.559
<v Speaker 9>back that really like to see the outfield him go

395
00:20:02.599 --> 00:20:06.200
<v Speaker 9>to right field and then maybe center field to Oscar

396
00:20:06.279 --> 00:20:08.759
<v Speaker 9>and then left field Hayward.

397
00:20:09.160 --> 00:20:11.720
<v Speaker 7>I think that'd be a better outfield for the playoffs

398
00:20:11.759 --> 00:20:14.400
<v Speaker 7>because these guys they're going to be like deer in

399
00:20:14.440 --> 00:20:17.039
<v Speaker 7>the headlights in the playoffs. They are both out men

400
00:20:16.759 --> 00:20:20.079
<v Speaker 7>and empires. I don't expect anything out of them in

401
00:20:20.079 --> 00:20:22.599
<v Speaker 7>the playoffs. And then the other thing is also I.

402
00:20:22.559 --> 00:20:27.400
<v Speaker 8>Want to talk about why is Dave Roberts not, you know,

403
00:20:27.599 --> 00:20:31.279
<v Speaker 8>just having more faith in his pictures and getting them

404
00:20:31.279 --> 00:20:32.799
<v Speaker 8>out just one not too soon.

405
00:20:32.920 --> 00:20:35.359
<v Speaker 2>I don't get it all right, Edie appreciate it. I

406
00:20:35.440 --> 00:20:38.720
<v Speaker 2>sort of explained it just a few minutes ago.

407
00:20:39.559 --> 00:20:40.079
<v Speaker 3>Last night.

408
00:20:40.200 --> 00:20:44.000
<v Speaker 2>He certainly said the momentum changed with Justin Robleski left Today,

409
00:20:44.279 --> 00:20:48.359
<v Speaker 2>Certainly the momentum changed when you took out River Ryan.

410
00:20:48.880 --> 00:20:51.440
<v Speaker 2>The Dodgers, fortunately offensively, were able to pick it up

411
00:20:51.519 --> 00:20:54.119
<v Speaker 2>and get some big insurance runs to give it him

412
00:20:54.119 --> 00:20:56.680
<v Speaker 2>a six to two lead going into the bottom half

413
00:20:56.720 --> 00:21:00.720
<v Speaker 2>of the ninth inna Yenair Diaz. His numbers, it gets

414
00:21:00.759 --> 00:21:03.200
<v Speaker 2>pointed out to several people on me on Twitter against

415
00:21:03.240 --> 00:21:07.000
<v Speaker 2>left handers, hitting two sixty three with two home runs

416
00:21:07.119 --> 00:21:10.319
<v Speaker 2>and a six ninety one OPS. Against right handers this year,

417
00:21:10.559 --> 00:21:13.680
<v Speaker 2>hitting nearly three hundred with an OPS of eight hundred

418
00:21:13.920 --> 00:21:16.319
<v Speaker 2>and six home runs with forty one RBI. So the

419
00:21:16.400 --> 00:21:20.119
<v Speaker 2>numbers do show that he hits better against right handers.

420
00:21:20.279 --> 00:21:23.119
<v Speaker 2>So that's why they went to the left hander. Alex Fatia. Okay,

421
00:21:23.440 --> 00:21:25.160
<v Speaker 2>I get the numbers. They're right in front of me.

422
00:21:25.200 --> 00:21:27.200
<v Speaker 3>Okay, I get it. I could go onto a computer

423
00:21:27.279 --> 00:21:29.359
<v Speaker 3>and look up any number. I understand.

424
00:21:30.279 --> 00:21:32.880
<v Speaker 2>But in the moment, the way he had just gotten

425
00:21:32.920 --> 00:21:35.279
<v Speaker 2>back to back outs to the two and three hitters

426
00:21:35.960 --> 00:21:39.200
<v Speaker 2>Alvarez and Bregman and al two by still stuck at

427
00:21:39.200 --> 00:21:42.240
<v Speaker 2>second base, and you're still pumping ninety five, and he's

428
00:21:42.279 --> 00:21:47.119
<v Speaker 2>got the nasty curveball and slider working me personally, in

429
00:21:47.160 --> 00:21:49.200
<v Speaker 2>the moment, I see ninety one pitches.

430
00:21:49.279 --> 00:21:50.279
<v Speaker 3>Yes, I see a.

431
00:21:50.279 --> 00:21:53.000
<v Speaker 2>Young man out there who I would have let go

432
00:21:53.119 --> 00:21:53.960
<v Speaker 2>to one more batter.

433
00:21:54.880 --> 00:21:58.319
<v Speaker 3>And again I said it earlier. If Diez hits a two.

434
00:21:58.200 --> 00:22:01.240
<v Speaker 2>Run home run off of you, like he did Vessia,

435
00:22:01.799 --> 00:22:03.920
<v Speaker 2>then then you go get river right, and you still

436
00:22:03.960 --> 00:22:05.839
<v Speaker 2>have a three to two lead to work with when

437
00:22:05.839 --> 00:22:07.839
<v Speaker 2>he leaves the game. If he hits a base hit

438
00:22:08.240 --> 00:22:10.240
<v Speaker 2>and scores all two b it's a three to one game.

439
00:22:10.440 --> 00:22:12.200
<v Speaker 2>You know what, You go out there, you take the

440
00:22:12.200 --> 00:22:14.119
<v Speaker 2>ball from him, and you still got a two run lead.

441
00:22:14.680 --> 00:22:16.799
<v Speaker 2>I would have just let him go one more batter.

442
00:22:16.920 --> 00:22:17.480
<v Speaker 3>That's me.

443
00:22:17.519 --> 00:22:20.000
<v Speaker 2>And it's easy to say now because Vessia came in

444
00:22:20.039 --> 00:22:21.599
<v Speaker 2>the first pitch, he gives up a two run home one.

445
00:22:21.720 --> 00:22:23.680
<v Speaker 2>But at the time I was saying leave him in,

446
00:22:23.799 --> 00:22:26.240
<v Speaker 2>leave him in one more, one more I would have

447
00:22:26.319 --> 00:22:28.480
<v Speaker 2>left him out there. And with all that being said,

448
00:22:28.720 --> 00:22:32.119
<v Speaker 2>your bullpens tax, why not allow him to get one

449
00:22:32.160 --> 00:22:34.839
<v Speaker 2>more out? So your bullpending come in and only have

450
00:22:34.880 --> 00:22:37.400
<v Speaker 2>to get nine outs and get a clean seventh inning

451
00:22:37.440 --> 00:22:39.920
<v Speaker 2>to start with. So a lot of Kulda would have

452
00:22:39.920 --> 00:22:42.599
<v Speaker 2>should I understand that's part of second guessing, that's part

453
00:22:42.599 --> 00:22:44.680
<v Speaker 2>of the game of professional sports.

454
00:22:45.000 --> 00:22:46.839
<v Speaker 3>The moves that are made or are not made, the.

455
00:22:46.799 --> 00:22:49.480
<v Speaker 2>Decisions that backfire you, the decisions that you push the

456
00:22:49.519 --> 00:22:52.480
<v Speaker 2>right buttons. We talk about it, win or lose, good

457
00:22:52.519 --> 00:22:55.160
<v Speaker 2>and bad. We break it down. But that's the beauty

458
00:22:55.200 --> 00:22:57.640
<v Speaker 2>of a postgame show. You get to talk about what

459
00:22:57.759 --> 00:22:59.759
<v Speaker 2>just happened in the moment, during the course of a

460
00:22:59.839 --> 00:23:02.960
<v Speaker 2>night game and it backfired. It for the moment against

461
00:23:03.000 --> 00:23:04.880
<v Speaker 2>Alex Vessi and bringing him in with the two run

462
00:23:04.880 --> 00:23:07.480
<v Speaker 2>home run that he gave up with the Dodgers offense

463
00:23:07.759 --> 00:23:09.799
<v Speaker 2>helped him out and put up two in the eighth,

464
00:23:09.880 --> 00:23:11.200
<v Speaker 2>one more in the ninth, and the Dodgers get a

465
00:23:11.240 --> 00:23:12.680
<v Speaker 2>sixty to two. Well, we'll take a quick time out.

466
00:23:12.799 --> 00:23:14.319
<v Speaker 2>We'll come back. We'll get to your phone calls. We

467
00:23:14.319 --> 00:23:16.640
<v Speaker 2>also here from Joe Kelly. David Veass had a chance

468
00:23:16.680 --> 00:23:18.119
<v Speaker 2>to catch up with them and ask him what he

469
00:23:18.160 --> 00:23:21.319
<v Speaker 2>thought about the booze from all the fans at mint

470

485
00:24:00.160 --> 00:24:02.079
<v Speaker 3>He's at the track, He's at the wall. He looks up.

486
00:24:02.119 --> 00:24:03.480
<v Speaker 3>It's gone a home run.

487
00:24:03.960 --> 00:24:07.240
<v Speaker 10>Gavin Lucks a two run shot to right field and

488
00:24:07.440 --> 00:24:09.440
<v Speaker 10>the Dodgers lait at three to nothing.

489
00:24:10.400 --> 00:24:14.559
<v Speaker 2>Gavin Lutz with the two run home run that gave

490
00:24:14.640 --> 00:24:17.240
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers a three to zhing lead in the top

491
00:24:17.279 --> 00:24:19.279
<v Speaker 2>half of the sixth thitning Boy, was that a big

492
00:24:19.400 --> 00:24:21.920
<v Speaker 2>home run for what would happened in the bottom half

493
00:24:21.960 --> 00:24:24.759
<v Speaker 2>of the sixth thinning? Won a second half of the

494

<v Speaker 2>last fourteen games. Nationally Player of the Week for the

496
00:24:31.640 --> 00:24:35.640

<v Speaker 2>of the season, home runs now up in the second half.

499
00:24:41.480 --> 00:24:42.200
<v Speaker 3>Of the season.

500
00:24:42.440 --> 00:24:45.559
<v Speaker 2>He is a hitting machine now. Gavin lucks whether he's

501
00:24:45.599 --> 00:24:49.359
<v Speaker 2>hitting third or he's hitting ninth. Gavin Lux Today goes

502
00:24:49.680 --> 00:24:51.759

503

<v Speaker 2>on base four times as he was walked three times

504
00:24:55.759 --> 00:24:58.279

511
00:25:19.640 --> 00:25:22.799
<v Speaker 2>trade talk, my numbing trade talk, and some rumors that

512
00:25:22.839 --> 00:25:24.920
<v Speaker 2>are out there coming up in just a couple of minutes.

513
00:25:24.960 --> 00:25:26.680
<v Speaker 2>We got to Jerry in Thousand Oaks, though it is

514
00:25:26.759 --> 00:25:29.359
<v Speaker 2>next up here on postgame Dodge Talk after the Dodgers

515
00:25:29.400 --> 00:25:30.079
<v Speaker 2>win at sixty two.

516
00:25:30.119 --> 00:25:30.880
<v Speaker 3>How you doing, Jerry?

517
00:25:32.559 --> 00:25:34.039
<v Speaker 6>Yeah? Hi, how are you good?

518
00:25:35.319 --> 00:25:35.519
<v Speaker 5>Yeah?

519
00:25:35.559 --> 00:25:38.920
<v Speaker 6>I just want to talk about the lack of quality

520
00:25:38.960 --> 00:25:41.559
<v Speaker 6>Adva's as much as I was thrilled to James Upmann

521
00:25:41.599 --> 00:25:44.960
<v Speaker 6>hit that home run. He just looks so tight. And

522
00:25:45.000 --> 00:25:48.119
<v Speaker 6>the most frustrating at that was when there was second

523
00:25:48.160 --> 00:25:50.119
<v Speaker 6>and third. I mean, was there no outs or one

524
00:25:50.160 --> 00:25:54.599
<v Speaker 6>out and he was up there and just there's no

525
00:25:54.680 --> 00:25:58.680
<v Speaker 6>situational hitting. It's just swinging from the heels. And I

526
00:25:58.680 --> 00:26:00.920
<v Speaker 6>don't know what goes on down mind leagues, what kind

527
00:26:00.920 --> 00:26:02.960
<v Speaker 6>of adjustments they try to make with these guys when

528
00:26:02.960 --> 00:26:06.319
<v Speaker 6>they go down, But I just don't see it. I mean,

529
00:26:07.200 --> 00:26:09.119
<v Speaker 6>as opposed to Cap and muck has just taken off.

530
00:26:09.160 --> 00:26:13.000
<v Speaker 6>But you know, James just looks so tight. You could

531
00:26:13.079 --> 00:26:16.319
<v Speaker 6>just tell by his facial expressions. I wish he would

532
00:26:16.319 --> 00:26:19.000
<v Speaker 6>shorten up some swings or hit situationally, and just like

533
00:26:19.039 --> 00:26:19.799
<v Speaker 6>to know your opinion.

534
00:26:20.000 --> 00:26:21.079
<v Speaker 3>I appreciate the phone call.

535
00:26:21.359 --> 00:26:23.240
<v Speaker 2>I think you're sitting better swings out of him and

536
00:26:23.319 --> 00:26:25.799
<v Speaker 2>the guys in the bottom half of the lineup. Hopefully

537
00:26:25.799 --> 00:26:28.799
<v Speaker 2>Cavin Biehio can build on what he's done in the

538
00:26:28.880 --> 00:26:31.359
<v Speaker 2>last two days now, maybe going home to Houston or

539
00:26:31.359 --> 00:26:34.160
<v Speaker 2>his dad's a Hall of Fame catcher slash second basement

540
00:26:34.200 --> 00:26:38.480
<v Speaker 2>slash outfielder. Maybe this is jump starting him. Maybe offensively

541
00:26:38.640 --> 00:26:40.839
<v Speaker 2>he can get it going now because he hit the

542
00:26:40.839 --> 00:26:43.960
<v Speaker 2>ball well last night. Today he hit the ball well.

543
00:26:44.240 --> 00:26:46.799
<v Speaker 2>Also at the bottom of the lineup. Gavin Lux now

544
00:26:46.920 --> 00:26:50.680
<v Speaker 2>batting third, has played really well, defense not an issue anymore,

545
00:26:50.759 --> 00:26:53.680
<v Speaker 2>and starting to heat things up offensively at the plate.

546
00:26:54.480 --> 00:26:57.039
<v Speaker 2>I hope this is a sign for this Dodger team

547
00:26:57.079 --> 00:26:59.319
<v Speaker 2>top to bottom that things are going to turn around.

548
00:26:59.319 --> 00:27:01.920
<v Speaker 2>Austin Barnes extends is hitting streak to twelve straight games.

549
00:27:01.960 --> 00:27:04.359
<v Speaker 2>Now I mentioned it earlier. James Outman today had the

550
00:27:04.359 --> 00:27:06.880
<v Speaker 2>home run. It was his first hit of any kind

551
00:27:07.359 --> 00:27:09.759
<v Speaker 2>in his last nine games. He was oh for his

552
00:27:09.880 --> 00:27:13.759
<v Speaker 2>last nine games. This was game twelve for him since

553
00:27:13.799 --> 00:27:16.279
<v Speaker 2>being recalled. He had hits in his first two games

554
00:27:16.319 --> 00:27:19.119
<v Speaker 2>back and then he was over the next nine. And

555
00:27:19.160 --> 00:27:20.880
<v Speaker 2>he comes back today and gets to a home run,

556
00:27:20.920 --> 00:27:24.119
<v Speaker 2>a huge home run for the Dodgers in the fifth

557
00:27:24.160 --> 00:27:26.240
<v Speaker 2>inning to jumpstart this offense and get him on the

558
00:27:26.240 --> 00:27:28.799
<v Speaker 2>board and give River Ryan a one to nothing lead.

559
00:27:28.880 --> 00:27:31.440
<v Speaker 2>So hopefully this is the start of something. And I

560
00:27:31.559 --> 00:27:34.400
<v Speaker 2>keep thinking a six and a half game lead. With

561
00:27:34.519 --> 00:27:38.119
<v Speaker 2>everything that's gone wrong injury wise for this Dodgers team,

562
00:27:38.799 --> 00:27:41.640
<v Speaker 2>certainly things could be a lot worse. This lead could

563
00:27:41.680 --> 00:27:43.559
<v Speaker 2>be down to two and a half. Heck, this could

564
00:27:43.559 --> 00:27:45.759
<v Speaker 2>be a Dodgers team that wasn't in first place after

565
00:27:45.799 --> 00:27:49.480
<v Speaker 2>building a big lead because of injuries to Mookie Betts

566
00:27:49.519 --> 00:27:52.240
<v Speaker 2>and Max Muncie and a starting rotation at one point

567
00:27:52.319 --> 00:27:54.759
<v Speaker 2>had four to fifths of their starting rotation from the

568
00:27:54.799 --> 00:27:57.200
<v Speaker 2>beginning of the season on the injured list or on

569
00:27:57.279 --> 00:28:00.920
<v Speaker 2>minor league rehab assignments, and White all that this is

570
00:28:00.960 --> 00:28:04.119
<v Speaker 2>a team that's slowly starting to get players back from injury,

571
00:28:04.160 --> 00:28:06.119
<v Speaker 2>and let's give you a quick injury update. As far

572
00:28:06.160 --> 00:28:08.880
<v Speaker 2>as Dave Roberts before the game today, talking in particular

573
00:28:08.920 --> 00:28:13.680
<v Speaker 2>about three players, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, we'll throw a bullpen Dodger

574
00:28:13.759 --> 00:28:17.480
<v Speaker 2>fans on Friday, so that is positive news. He's not

575
00:28:17.519 --> 00:28:20.720
<v Speaker 2>eligible to come off to sixty DAYIL until mid August,

576
00:28:20.799 --> 00:28:23.960
<v Speaker 2>but as we flip the calendar to beginning of August

577
00:28:23.960 --> 00:28:27.359
<v Speaker 2>here midweek, he gets two weeks to ramp up and

578
00:28:27.440 --> 00:28:29.799
<v Speaker 2>a couple of minor league rehabit signments after that, so

579
00:28:29.880 --> 00:28:33.119
<v Speaker 2>we could see most likely Yoshinoba Yamamoto, if I'm doing

580
00:28:33.160 --> 00:28:35.559
<v Speaker 2>the math correctly, if he throws a bullpen on Friday,

581
00:28:35.720 --> 00:28:37.640
<v Speaker 2>probably another bullpen after that, and then a couple of

582
00:28:37.680 --> 00:28:40.279
<v Speaker 2>minor league rehabit signments to get his innings and his

583
00:28:40.359 --> 00:28:43.480
<v Speaker 2>stamina built up with the arm again, You're probably looking

584
00:28:43.519 --> 00:28:46.079
<v Speaker 2>at the end of August as far as a return

585
00:28:46.200 --> 00:28:49.400
<v Speaker 2>for Yoshinoba Yamamoto if everything continues to trend in the

586
00:28:49.480 --> 00:28:52.640
<v Speaker 2>right direction. Mookie Betts, Dave Roberts said pregame today that

587
00:28:52.720 --> 00:28:55.519
<v Speaker 2>he's doing t work, he's doing soft toss, he's swinging

588
00:28:55.559 --> 00:28:58.799
<v Speaker 2>a bat, he's fielding ground balls, and he'll start taking

589
00:28:58.920 --> 00:29:02.319
<v Speaker 2>VP here soon. And according to Dave Roberts his words,

590
00:29:02.559 --> 00:29:05.720
<v Speaker 2>his return is sooner rather than later, so that's positive.

591
00:29:06.039 --> 00:29:10.519
<v Speaker 2>You're looking at maybe the back third of August for

592
00:29:10.559 --> 00:29:13.440
<v Speaker 2>a return for Mookie Bets, and it's no need to

593
00:29:13.480 --> 00:29:16.000
<v Speaker 2>have him rush back. There's no need for him to

594
00:29:16.079 --> 00:29:18.440
<v Speaker 2>come back, soonerer just to get him back on the

595
00:29:18.440 --> 00:29:21.759
<v Speaker 2>lineup just because you need him. They'll be okay without him.

596
00:29:21.839 --> 00:29:23.599
<v Speaker 2>Certainly you want him at the top of the lineup.

597
00:29:24.000 --> 00:29:26.519
<v Speaker 2>Things are great when he's there, and defensively things are

598
00:29:26.519 --> 00:29:29.119
<v Speaker 2>better when he's there. But there's no need to rush

599
00:29:29.160 --> 00:29:31.519
<v Speaker 2>Mookie Bets back. Let's make sure that risk heals right

600
00:29:31.759 --> 00:29:34.599
<v Speaker 2>and he is good to go for the stretch run

601
00:29:34.640 --> 00:29:38.519
<v Speaker 2>of September and October, and finally an update on Max Munsey.

602
00:29:38.759 --> 00:29:41.119
<v Speaker 2>There is no positive news for Max and Munsey right now,

603
00:29:41.160 --> 00:29:47.279
<v Speaker 2>and that'llblaque. Dave Roberts word was stagnant. Tests have all

604
00:29:47.319 --> 00:29:51.319
<v Speaker 2>come back clean as far as the oblique, but he

605
00:29:51.400 --> 00:29:54.359
<v Speaker 2>still says he doesn't feel right, and he says he

606
00:29:54.400 --> 00:30:00.640
<v Speaker 2>feels discomfort still in the area. Now ever, gonna feel

607
00:30:00.640 --> 00:30:03.480
<v Speaker 2>one hundred percent right during the course of a season,

608
00:30:03.519 --> 00:30:07.920
<v Speaker 2>You've got, you know, things that are always sore. It's

609
00:30:07.920 --> 00:30:11.200
<v Speaker 2>one hundred and sixty two games, you get hurt. You know,

610
00:30:11.039 --> 00:30:13.400
<v Speaker 2>you don't necessarily feel right till the offseason.

611
00:30:13.599 --> 00:30:15.759
<v Speaker 3>It's all part of sports. I get it.

612
00:30:16.920 --> 00:30:20.640
<v Speaker 2>If the tests all come back clean, what's wrong then

613
00:30:20.680 --> 00:30:22.880
<v Speaker 2>with Max Munsey?

614
00:30:23.319 --> 00:30:24.640
<v Speaker 3>Is it a mental game now?

615
00:30:25.160 --> 00:30:25.400
<v Speaker 10>Is it?

616
00:30:25.599 --> 00:30:28.359
<v Speaker 2>He doesn't feel one hundred percent And until he feels

617
00:30:28.359 --> 00:30:32.119
<v Speaker 2>one hundred percent, he's not coming back well. To me,

618
00:30:32.240 --> 00:30:35.440
<v Speaker 2>this is the biggest question mark going into the trade deadline.

619
00:30:35.480 --> 00:30:37.400
<v Speaker 2>And we'll get to your phone calls and one money here.

620
00:30:38.279 --> 00:30:42.599
<v Speaker 2>If Max Munsey is quote unquote stagnant, the Dodgers need

621
00:30:42.640 --> 00:30:45.799
<v Speaker 2>to figure out third base. That is a bat in

622
00:30:45.839 --> 00:30:48.440
<v Speaker 2>a position they need to figure out now. Is that

623
00:30:48.559 --> 00:30:52.559
<v Speaker 2>Key k Hernandez and Cavin b Show going back and forth,

624
00:30:52.599 --> 00:30:54.240
<v Speaker 2>depending on if there's a lefty or righty on the

625
00:30:54.279 --> 00:30:56.920
<v Speaker 2>mound maybe or they need to go out and make

626
00:30:56.960 --> 00:30:59.680
<v Speaker 2>a move to get somebody there at third base down

627
00:30:59.680 --> 00:31:00.000
<v Speaker 2>the stretch.

628
00:31:00.160 --> 00:31:00.759
<v Speaker 3>And if that's the.

629
00:31:00.720 --> 00:31:05.079
<v Speaker 2>Case, that takes away your assets to go get a

630
00:31:05.119 --> 00:31:09.480
<v Speaker 2>starting pitcher and a reliever and maybe an outfielder to

631
00:31:09.599 --> 00:31:12.920
<v Speaker 2>help you. This is maybe now a position and a

632
00:31:12.960 --> 00:31:16.880
<v Speaker 2>spot you weren't necessarily thinking you needed to better via

633
00:31:17.000 --> 00:31:18.759
<v Speaker 2>trade because you thought.

634
00:31:18.480 --> 00:31:20.039
<v Speaker 3>Max Munsey was coming back.

635
00:31:20.960 --> 00:31:23.079
<v Speaker 2>But if he's not gonna be Max Munsey and be

636
00:31:23.079 --> 00:31:25.480
<v Speaker 2>able to contribute to this team, and quite frankly, now

637
00:31:25.519 --> 00:31:27.359
<v Speaker 2>as we get ready to flip the calendar to August,

638
00:31:27.680 --> 00:31:30.799
<v Speaker 2>he's got two months, he's missed a lot of time,

639
00:31:32.039 --> 00:31:35.519
<v Speaker 2>and he still feels discomfort and he's not good enough

640
00:31:35.519 --> 00:31:38.240
<v Speaker 2>to come back. You may have to turn the page

641
00:31:38.279 --> 00:31:40.480
<v Speaker 2>on him coming back and being the starting third baseman

642
00:31:40.559 --> 00:31:43.759
<v Speaker 2>now here in twenty twenty four. If that's the case, again,

643
00:31:44.559 --> 00:31:48.880
<v Speaker 2>that takes away trade assets prospects that if you want

644
00:31:48.880 --> 00:31:51.880
<v Speaker 2>to go get somebody to fill that position or try

645
00:31:51.920 --> 00:31:54.759
<v Speaker 2>to fill it like a Vlad Guerrero Junior to play

646
00:31:54.839 --> 00:31:58.720
<v Speaker 2>third base, then that takes away some of those prospects

647
00:31:58.720 --> 00:32:00.720
<v Speaker 2>that you would have had to go get a front

648
00:32:00.799 --> 00:32:04.799
<v Speaker 2>end starting pitcher, maybe from the Tigers or the White

649
00:32:04.880 --> 00:32:08.240
<v Speaker 2>Sox or the Giants or somewhere else, or a back

650
00:32:08.319 --> 00:32:12.480
<v Speaker 2>end bullpen help from the Tampa Bay Rays or the Marlins.

651
00:32:13.279 --> 00:32:15.799
<v Speaker 3>So this greatly.

652
00:32:15.279 --> 00:32:18.880
<v Speaker 2>Affects the Dodgers' decision at the trade deadline. And if

653
00:32:18.880 --> 00:32:22.039
<v Speaker 2>you're Max Muncy, you either got to come back if

654
00:32:22.079 --> 00:32:25.160
<v Speaker 2>you're being cleared, or your test all come back clean.

655
00:32:25.480 --> 00:32:28.759
<v Speaker 2>As Dave Roberts said, test came back clean. That to

656
00:32:28.799 --> 00:32:29.720
<v Speaker 2>me means you're.

657
00:32:29.599 --> 00:32:30.079
<v Speaker 3>Good to go.

658
00:32:31.519 --> 00:32:34.880
<v Speaker 2>You gotta start going out there and playing through whatever

659
00:32:34.960 --> 00:32:39.519
<v Speaker 2>swords you have if you can. If not, they need

660
00:32:39.559 --> 00:32:42.680
<v Speaker 2>to figure out their base, and they've got forty eight

661
00:32:42.839 --> 00:32:45.519
<v Speaker 2>now forty seven and a half hours to do it

662
00:32:45.680 --> 00:32:48.200
<v Speaker 2>before the trade deadline. That doesn't leave them a lot

663
00:32:48.240 --> 00:32:50.680
<v Speaker 2>of room. And at that point, who are you gonna

664
00:32:50.720 --> 00:32:53.480
<v Speaker 2>go out and get that's gonna be an upgrade at

665
00:32:53.480 --> 00:32:59.960
<v Speaker 2>third base over a combination of Kik Bigo At third

666
00:33:01.319 --> 00:33:03.440
<v Speaker 2>you only have so many prospects, and it's a seller's

667
00:33:03.480 --> 00:33:06.079
<v Speaker 2>market already, and if you're gonna make a big time move,

668
00:33:06.119 --> 00:33:09.000
<v Speaker 2>it's gonna cost you. But now you've got to think

669
00:33:09.000 --> 00:33:09.799
<v Speaker 2>about third base.

670
00:33:10.160 --> 00:33:13.240
<v Speaker 3>This is tough. This is certainly not a situation.

671
00:33:13.319 --> 00:33:16.240
<v Speaker 2>I think Brandon Gomes and Andrew Freeman wanted to be

672
00:33:16.359 --> 00:33:19.200
<v Speaker 2>in at the trade deadline having to fill and void

673
00:33:19.839 --> 00:33:22.920
<v Speaker 2>at third base now rather than just starting pitching and

674
00:33:22.920 --> 00:33:25.000
<v Speaker 2>maybe an outfield spot and a bat off the bench,

675
00:33:25.440 --> 00:33:27.599
<v Speaker 2>This to me, could be a spot they have to

676
00:33:27.640 --> 00:33:30.200
<v Speaker 2>fill and what third bases are out there that can

677
00:33:30.240 --> 00:33:31.799
<v Speaker 2>come in and fill that. In me, it's gonna be

678
00:33:31.839 --> 00:33:34.599
<v Speaker 2>an interesting forty seven and a half hours now for

679
00:33:34.680 --> 00:33:37.680
<v Speaker 2>this Dodgers front office. And keep in mind the relievers

680
00:33:37.720 --> 00:33:42.559
<v Speaker 2>like Tanner Scott of the Marlins. If Jason Adams is

681
00:33:42.559 --> 00:33:45.720
<v Speaker 2>gonna cost you three of your top twelve minor league

682
00:33:45.720 --> 00:33:51.240
<v Speaker 2>prospects for Jason Adam, what is Kyle Fagan of the

683
00:33:51.319 --> 00:33:54.519
<v Speaker 2>Nationals gonna cost you? Who's under control now for another

684
00:33:54.640 --> 00:33:57.799
<v Speaker 2>year and one of the best relievers out there, Tanner Scott,

685
00:33:58.160 --> 00:34:00.400
<v Speaker 2>one of the best land left handed closers out there

686
00:34:00.519 --> 00:34:03.400
<v Speaker 2>from the Marlins. You're gonna have to give him up

687
00:34:03.400 --> 00:34:05.279
<v Speaker 2>more than just three of your top twelve prospects for

688
00:34:05.319 --> 00:34:09.119
<v Speaker 2>one of those guys. A name that could be intriguing

689
00:34:09.440 --> 00:34:13.079
<v Speaker 2>is Dylan Floro. Yes, that same Dylan Floro who's been

690
00:34:13.079 --> 00:34:14.960
<v Speaker 2>with the Dodgers, off and on again for the last

691
00:34:15.000 --> 00:34:19.159
<v Speaker 2>five years. He's with the Washington Nationals right now over

692
00:34:19.199 --> 00:34:23.719
<v Speaker 2>fifty appearances a one ninety four era. He's gonna be

693
00:34:23.719 --> 00:34:25.159
<v Speaker 2>a free agent at the end of the year, so

694
00:34:25.679 --> 00:34:29.239
<v Speaker 2>he's gonna walk to me. The asking price is still

695
00:34:29.239 --> 00:34:31.519
<v Speaker 2>gonna be high because of the seller's market, but it

696
00:34:31.559 --> 00:34:35.639
<v Speaker 2>won't be as high for a Tanner Scott or Kyle Finigan.

697
00:34:35.679 --> 00:34:38.760
<v Speaker 2>If you want Dylan Floro, that is a possibility. That's

698
00:34:38.760 --> 00:34:40.360
<v Speaker 2>a name they can keep an eye on. As far

699
00:34:40.400 --> 00:34:43.679
<v Speaker 2>as the starter, Jack Flaherty, why not kick the tires

700
00:34:43.880 --> 00:34:47.199
<v Speaker 2>with the Detroit Tigers and instead of going and asking

701
00:34:47.239 --> 00:34:49.679
<v Speaker 2>for screwball, say no, no, no, we would rather have

702
00:34:49.760 --> 00:34:53.760
<v Speaker 2>Jack Flarerity. Now for Jack Flarity, this is the guy

703
00:34:53.760 --> 00:34:56.320
<v Speaker 2>who is gonna be demanded by a lot of teams

704
00:34:56.360 --> 00:34:59.199
<v Speaker 2>as well, and as the front runner for the Al

705
00:34:59.320 --> 00:35:02.679
<v Speaker 2>comeback player the year he's a free agent at the

706
00:35:02.760 --> 00:35:05.440
<v Speaker 2>end of the season. He bet on himself signing with

707
00:35:05.480 --> 00:35:08.840
<v Speaker 2>the Tigers almost sign with the Dodgers. I don't think

708
00:35:08.880 --> 00:35:12.320
<v Speaker 2>you'd have to give up everything like a scerball or

709
00:35:12.360 --> 00:35:14.880
<v Speaker 2>a crochet, but certainly it's gonna cost you to go

710
00:35:14.880 --> 00:35:17.679
<v Speaker 2>out and get Jack Flaherty as a rental player or

711
00:35:17.719 --> 00:35:19.280
<v Speaker 2>possibly a guy who signed at the end of the year,

712
00:35:19.280 --> 00:35:21.880
<v Speaker 2>and he comes back home to southern California, a Burbank

713
00:35:21.960 --> 00:35:25.239
<v Speaker 2>kid that went to Harvard Westlake High School in Studio City.

714
00:35:25.320 --> 00:35:28.519
<v Speaker 2>So there are other options and really good options, but

715
00:35:28.639 --> 00:35:31.639
<v Speaker 2>again it's still gonna cost the Dodgers. I just shake

716
00:35:31.679 --> 00:35:36.800
<v Speaker 2>my head if Jason Adam takes three of your top

717
00:35:36.840 --> 00:35:39.599
<v Speaker 2>twelve prospects in your minor leagues for the Padres to

718
00:35:39.599 --> 00:35:42.280
<v Speaker 2>acquire him, a thirty two year old who's having a good,

719
00:35:42.519 --> 00:35:46.960
<v Speaker 2>really good season in Tampa. What's the asking price and

720
00:35:46.960 --> 00:35:51.880
<v Speaker 2>what's gonna be the demand for guys who are proven

721
00:35:51.920 --> 00:35:56.280
<v Speaker 2>relievers and guys who are top of the rotation starters.

722
00:35:56.800 --> 00:35:59.880
<v Speaker 2>It's gonna be a high asking price. Ken and New

723
00:36:00.079 --> 00:36:03.800
<v Speaker 2>for your next up here on Dodge Talky, how you doing, I.

724
00:36:03.840 --> 00:36:06.960
<v Speaker 10>Hate Kim A couple of quick things. You have a

725
00:36:06.960 --> 00:36:09.239
<v Speaker 10>guy talking about out man. I don't care if the

726
00:36:09.280 --> 00:36:13.000
<v Speaker 10>guy hits one twenty. By far, he's the best dealers

727
00:36:13.039 --> 00:36:15.719
<v Speaker 10>you have and the most important place in the outfield.

728
00:36:15.880 --> 00:36:20.039
<v Speaker 10>You're comparing the Pajas. It's not even close. He's worth

729
00:36:20.159 --> 00:36:24.400
<v Speaker 10>at least two runs saved almost every game. Let him alone,

730
00:36:24.679 --> 00:36:28.199
<v Speaker 10>let him stay there. Defense is extremely important. Number Two.

731
00:36:29.440 --> 00:36:33.000
<v Speaker 10>The last two days and I've been pretty upset prior,

732
00:36:33.119 --> 00:36:36.400
<v Speaker 10>but for the last two days right now, the two

733
00:36:36.400 --> 00:36:39.119
<v Speaker 10>best storting pitchers you have are the two rookies that

734
00:36:39.199 --> 00:36:44.000
<v Speaker 10>pitch those last two games. That is massively important because

735
00:36:44.119 --> 00:36:47.079
<v Speaker 10>they have been pitching really well. He he just needs

736
00:36:47.079 --> 00:36:50.199
<v Speaker 10>to back off and realize you don't need to pull

737
00:36:50.239 --> 00:36:52.920
<v Speaker 10>him that quick, especially when we got some problems to

738
00:36:53.000 --> 00:36:57.199
<v Speaker 10>the pin. That's important. Yeah, going to San Diego, those

739
00:36:57.239 --> 00:36:59.719
<v Speaker 10>two guys don't be able to pitch, but still those

740
00:36:59.719 --> 00:37:03.000
<v Speaker 10>two eyes were great and leave out on alone, serpeople,

741
00:37:03.119 --> 00:37:04.960
<v Speaker 10>is extremely important.

742
00:37:05.480 --> 00:37:08.079
<v Speaker 2>No doubt about it. Can appreciate the phone call today.

743
00:37:08.119 --> 00:37:10.280
<v Speaker 2>We saw Joe Kelly get into the game. It pitched

744
00:37:10.320 --> 00:37:12.599
<v Speaker 2>the eighth inning. Joe Kelly, famous for the Poudy face.

745
00:37:12.599 --> 00:37:14.719
<v Speaker 2>In twenty twenty, over the weekend, was it last night,

746
00:37:14.719 --> 00:37:16.760
<v Speaker 2>Colin when Valdez was or was it two nights ago

747
00:37:16.800 --> 00:37:20.199
<v Speaker 2>and two nights to go? On Friday night, Little Chippy

748
00:37:20.320 --> 00:37:23.320
<v Speaker 2>from Joe Kelly in his words towards Frambury, Valdez out

749
00:37:23.360 --> 00:37:26.000
<v Speaker 2>there in the mound on Friday night and had some

750
00:37:26.079 --> 00:37:26.760
<v Speaker 2>things to say.

751
00:37:27.360 --> 00:37:29.440
<v Speaker 3>It was last night. It was last night against Blanco.

752
00:37:29.440 --> 00:37:33.440
<v Speaker 3>You're right, but Joe Kelly's never won to hide.

753
00:37:33.199 --> 00:37:36.440
<v Speaker 2>His feelings or his emotions and doesn't like the Houston

754
00:37:36.440 --> 00:37:39.320
<v Speaker 2>Astros and made the Poudy face in twenty twenty that

755
00:37:39.400 --> 00:37:42.440
<v Speaker 2>has been talked about and put up on murals around

756
00:37:42.480 --> 00:37:45.519
<v Speaker 2>southern California. Well, today he got there and got to

757
00:37:45.559 --> 00:37:48.360
<v Speaker 2>pitch in the eighth inning and pitched the scoreless eighth inning,

758
00:37:48.519 --> 00:37:51.320
<v Speaker 2>and afterwards, Dave Roberts or excuse me, our David Vessa,

759
00:37:51.599 --> 00:37:53.920
<v Speaker 2>speaking of days are out, David Vassa had a chance

760
00:37:54.000 --> 00:37:56.239
<v Speaker 2>to ask Joe Kelly, what do you thought about the

761
00:37:56.360 --> 00:37:58.360
<v Speaker 2>booze from the Astros crowd?

762
00:37:59.199 --> 00:38:00.000
<v Speaker 7>Did you hear the booze?

763
00:38:00.480 --> 00:38:00.559
<v Speaker 5>No?

764
00:38:01.760 --> 00:38:04.760
<v Speaker 11>I was so focused, it's crazy. They weren't loud enough. Honestly,

765
00:38:05.559 --> 00:38:07.440
<v Speaker 11>New York. When I forgot that one fight with Tossin,

766
00:38:07.519 --> 00:38:10.360
<v Speaker 11>it was loud, super loud Sunday church crowd. So they're

767
00:38:10.400 --> 00:38:13.480
<v Speaker 11>kind of like, probably too many kids here. It wasn't active.

768
00:38:14.159 --> 00:38:16.880
<v Speaker 2>All right, there's Joe Kelly, so he's been booed louder

769
00:38:16.920 --> 00:38:19.559
<v Speaker 2>in New York and this was nothing. The booze that

770
00:38:19.559 --> 00:38:21.800
<v Speaker 2>he got today. Well, partially because the Dodgers at that

771
00:38:21.840 --> 00:38:26.320
<v Speaker 2>point were up five to two against the Astros. It

772
00:38:26.360 --> 00:38:28.039
<v Speaker 2>was a Sunday day game, you know, the crowd a

773
00:38:28.079 --> 00:38:30.119
<v Speaker 2>little different than a Friday night or Saturday night, but

774
00:38:30.639 --> 00:38:33.679
<v Speaker 2>nonetheless very excited to see Joe Kelly out there fired up.

775
00:38:33.679 --> 00:38:36.760
<v Speaker 2>I love his passion, his enthusiasm. I even love the

776
00:38:36.800 --> 00:38:39.760
<v Speaker 2>chippiness that he brings with the talking from the Doug guy.

777
00:38:39.800 --> 00:38:41.800
<v Speaker 2>I'm okay with that. I have no problem as long

778
00:38:41.840 --> 00:38:44.440
<v Speaker 2>as against the Houston Astros. So queeze on one more

779
00:38:44.440 --> 00:38:45.920
<v Speaker 2>call call Let's treason one. Let's go to Don and

780
00:38:45.960 --> 00:38:48.280
<v Speaker 2>City of Industry is our final call here on Dodger Talk.

781
00:38:48.320 --> 00:38:52.039
<v Speaker 12>How you doing, Don, Jim Kates, how the heck are you? Man?

782
00:38:52.280 --> 00:38:54.880
<v Speaker 12>I got so pumped just listening to you advocate for

783
00:38:54.960 --> 00:38:58.760
<v Speaker 12>River Ryan Man again as you say your passion, the emotion.

784
00:38:59.119 --> 00:39:01.679
<v Speaker 12>I thought you were a Stewart and mister Smith comes

785
00:39:01.719 --> 00:39:03.000
<v Speaker 12>to Washington say you think of.

786
00:39:03.119 --> 00:39:04.400
<v Speaker 5>Lick but I'm not Lick.

787
00:39:08.960 --> 00:39:11.199
<v Speaker 3>Do we lose you Don? Are you filibusting?

788
00:39:11.360 --> 00:39:11.480
<v Speaker 6>No?

789
00:39:11.519 --> 00:39:14.199
<v Speaker 12>I'm okay, there you go. I'm still go ahead. No,

790
00:39:14.239 --> 00:39:16.840
<v Speaker 12>it's still no. Yeah, No, it was just great. I

791
00:39:16.880 --> 00:39:19.039
<v Speaker 12>loved your take. You know, I love what some of

792
00:39:19.079 --> 00:39:23.000
<v Speaker 12>these young pitchers are doing, you know, coming up and man,

793
00:39:23.320 --> 00:39:25.039
<v Speaker 12>just just keep advocating.

794
00:39:25.440 --> 00:39:27.480
<v Speaker 2>All right, don appreciate it. A little little issue to

795
00:39:27.559 --> 00:39:29.519
<v Speaker 2>your phone there, but we heard a majority of what

796
00:39:29.559 --> 00:39:30.000
<v Speaker 2>you had to say.

797
00:39:30.039 --> 00:39:30.760
<v Speaker 3>We appreciate that.

798
00:39:31.119 --> 00:39:33.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, fired up for River Ryan and would have loved

799
00:39:33.800 --> 00:39:35.599
<v Speaker 2>to a scene, like I said a couple of times already,

800
00:39:35.639 --> 00:39:37.079
<v Speaker 2>would love to a scene. We have the chance to

801
00:39:37.119 --> 00:39:39.519
<v Speaker 2>go out there and face Diaz with two outs and

802
00:39:39.559 --> 00:39:41.559
<v Speaker 2>all two bastanding of the second base, try to get

803
00:39:41.599 --> 00:39:44.239
<v Speaker 2>out of that inning without any damage done. If he

804
00:39:44.239 --> 00:39:46.239
<v Speaker 2>gives up an RBI single, he gives up the home run,

805
00:39:46.360 --> 00:39:47.800
<v Speaker 2>it's still a three to one game. It's still a

806
00:39:47.800 --> 00:39:49.239
<v Speaker 2>three to two game because the Dodgers were up three

807
00:39:49.320 --> 00:39:51.239
<v Speaker 2>nothing at that point. And then you go out and

808
00:39:51.280 --> 00:39:53.119
<v Speaker 2>you pull them and you go to Alex Vesia and

809
00:39:53.159 --> 00:39:55.480
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers bullpit as it is, they take him out.

810
00:39:55.360 --> 00:39:55.639
<v Speaker 3>Of the game.

811
00:39:55.679 --> 00:39:58.039
<v Speaker 2>First pitch from Alex Vesia a two run home run.

812
00:39:58.079 --> 00:40:00.480
<v Speaker 2>The Dodgers offense so prevailed with two runs in the

813
00:40:00.519 --> 00:40:02.679
<v Speaker 2>eighth and a run the ninth. With that being said,

814
00:40:02.719 --> 00:40:08.000
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers get to win sixty two over the Houston Astros.

815
00:40:08.039 --> 00:40:10.039
<v Speaker 2>Many thanks to Colin Ye, thanks to all you Dodger

816
00:40:10.079 --> 00:40:11.719
<v Speaker 2>fans for being a part of the show. Thank you

817
00:40:11.760 --> 00:40:13.719
<v Speaker 2>for podcasting as well.

818
00:40:13.880 --> 00:40:14.800
<v Speaker 3>We appreciate that.

823
00:40:27.079 --> 00:40:30.159
<v Speaker 2>Will they not make a move. We'll find out. It

824
00:40:30.280 --> 00:40:33.519
<v Speaker 2>is definitely a seller's market. Guys are starting to come

825
00:40:33.559 --> 00:40:38.079
<v Speaker 2>off the board, move around at a high price. Will

826
00:40:38.079 --> 00:40:42.440
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers be buyers? We will see their winners today,

827
00:40:42.480 --> 00:40:44.920
<v Speaker 2>that's for sure. Six to two over the Astros now
