For a small soft time they get a people what
they want to die in a row two is special.
I'm like, yeah, it's not a headache.

Speaker 5 (00:40):
And go to the show.
Speaker 6 (00:41):
And now your host of Dodger Talk, Tim kats Wow,
what a win for the Dodgers.
Speaker 8 (00:49):
Up one to nothing, going to the ninth inning, all
ready to talk about the audience from Yoshinobu Yamamoto, and
then Tanner Scott gives up the home run, then gives
up the two unshot in the tenth inning, and all
set to do a Dodger talk about how this bullpen
gave it up in the ninth inning and then the extras,
only to have the Dodgers fight their way back three
(01:12):
runs in the bottom half of the tenth, Inny manufacturing
those three runs passing the.
Speaker 5 (01:18):
Baton onto the next guy.
Speaker 8 (01:20):
That's how it's done for this Dodgers team as they
win it four to three and ten innings over the
Arizona Diamondbacks. Eight sixty six nine seven two five seventy
is the number. Eight six six nine eight seven two
five to seventy. We're gonna hear from Jose Mota coming
up here on Dodger Talk. We're gonna hear from the manager,
Dave Roberts here on Dodger Talk, and we're gonna get
the postgame thoughts of Tanner Scott, Dodger reliever four years,
(01:44):
seventy two million dollars deal he signed in the offseason
along with Kirby Yates to bolster this Dodgers bullpen, and tonight,
Tanner Scott gave it up in the ninth inning. The
Gabriel moreno on a one to zero fastball over the
heart of the plate to tie the game, and then
Corbyn Carroll takes him deep in the tenth to give
him a three to one lead. The ninth inning was
(02:06):
a disaster for the Dodgers. The tenth disaster for Tanner Scott.
The Dodgers offense bailed him out in the bottom half
of the tenth inning. And I love how they did it,
Tommy Edmond. I mean, we're all gonna remember what you
know Will Smith did getting hit by a pitch. Max
Muntzi to sackfly drive it in, show hey to win it.
Tommy Edmond started it all on an O to two
(02:30):
splitter from Shelby Miller about five inches off the plate,
throws the bat out at the pitch and slaps it
into the left field down the left field line for
an RBI double scoring Key k. Hernandez, the free runner
to start the tenth inning, trades places with Key K.
Makes it a three to two game. Still nobody out.
(02:52):
Otani walks two batters later, Freddie Freeman intentionally walked, and
he said walked. I think a big reason is because
shoey Otani. He stole second, freeing up first base one
out to bring up Will Smith. I'd rather face Will
Smith with the bases loaded, try to get a ground
ball double play. Will Smith, not the fastest of runners,
(03:12):
set up a double play ball get out of it.
Still a three to two game, Will Smith hit by
a pitch by Shelby Middller on a splitter that hits
him on the elbow guard and brings in Tommy Eban
from third and ties the game. At that point, Max
Munsey's only job is to hit the ball to.
Speaker 5 (03:32):
The outfield somewhere.
Speaker 8 (03:34):
Doesn't matter if it's a fly ball out because it's
gonna win the game. Doesn't matter, if it's a home run,
doesn't matter, if it's a ball in the gap. Just
drive the ball somewhere to bring in Shoe Aotani and
the go ahead walk off run, and Max Munsey gets
ahead two to zero. The count swings at a two
to zero fastball down the middle of the plate and
(03:56):
I looked at Colinie. I said, he is trying to
hit this ball as far as he can, and he
fell on the one knee Reggie Jackson style and missed
for strike one. The next pitch, again a four seam fastball,
and this time just drives it to center field. Nothing
the Diamondbacks can do deep enough to bring an Otani
(04:19):
and the Dodgers with three runs and the bottom half
of the tenth inning get the walk off win. This
game was a rollercoaster of emotions, the.
Speaker 5 (04:29):
Dramatics of.
Speaker 8 (04:32):
Yoshinobu Yamamoto pitching a no hitter through four, then through five,
then through six, the pitch count getting up. Will he
be out there even for a ninth inning or an
eighth inning to try to continue a no hitter? It
was spoiled by Kotel Marte with the leadoff single in
the seventh, But he stays out there and with two
(04:53):
outs and runners on first and third. Dave Roberts, I
love the decision to leave him out there. He would
have gone to Alex Vesia. Tim never thought he was
gonna go to him. Dave Roberts, though, just sat in
that seat in the dugout, looking at his scorecard, keeping
Yoshinobu Yabamoto in the game. And he strikes out Peven
(05:14):
Smith with runners at first and third and two outs
to keep it a one nothing Dodgers game and hand
it over to the bullpen to do the rest of
it to get the final six outs. Unfortunately, again the
ups and downs the roller coaster of emotions in this game.
The game was tied in the ninth, Diamondbacks took a
three to one lead. I gotta be honest with you,
(05:36):
Dodger fans, I didn't like it. I kind of felt
like the momentum was all Arizona. They take the lead
in the top half of the tenth inning, I kind
of felt even though with who was coming up, the
game was over and Tommy Edmond just sparked the offense
and then Tory Lavello, who was a UCLA Bruins and
the fours up for the Bruins is what they they
(05:58):
kind of do you get the fight signal for usc again?
Speaker 5 (06:01):
You got the fours up for Bruins fans.
Speaker 8 (06:03):
Well, he put fours up not to show off his
UCLA pride, but to intentionally walk Freddie Freeman and show
Hey Otani. In that tenth inning, Mookie Betts flew out
but advanced the runner, and Max Munsey a sack fly
with the bases loaded wins it four to three for
the Dodgers.
Speaker 5 (06:24):
An emotionally up and down game.
Speaker 8 (06:27):
If you're a Dodger fan eight six, six, nine eighty
seven to two five seventy the way it ended makes
you feel good. Certainly, the five minutes before that, in
which Tanner Scott had to get Anthony Bonda to come
in to get the final out of the tenth inning.
Speaker 5 (06:42):
Didn't leave you.
Speaker 8 (06:43):
Feeling very good, but the Dodgers snapped the four game
losing streak. That's important, and maybe a little momentum now
going forward. A little bit of momentum with the starting
pitching and what Yoshinobu Yabamoto did tonight, And a little
bit of momentum with what the offense did tonight pushing
across three runs in the bottom half of the tenth inning.
Hopefully that carries into tomorrow's game and they can finish
(07:05):
off this homestand and this series on a winning note
and then get ready for a nice road trip back
east to New York and Cleveland, which is gonna be tough.
It's gonna be a tough three game series over the
weekend against the Mets. But the Dodgers tonight, I love
the fight. We've seen them fight back six runs a
(07:26):
came back and won a game in Arizona on the
last road trip. We've seen the Dodgers come up short
in a couple of games on this homestand but still
fighting through until the ninth inning, the last that bat
of the game was it last night? You had Hey
song Kim ground out with Otani on.
Speaker 5 (07:43):
Deck, and they were one swing away from winning that
game last night.
Speaker 8 (07:47):
The fight I love from this Dodgers team. In this
Dodgers offense, it's been pitching and starting pitching, putting them
in holes for them to dig out of deficits. Tonight,
Yoshinobu Yabamoto was brilliant. If there's any argument left about
who the Dodger ace is, I think it ended tonight
(08:11):
because Yoshinobu Yamamoto is now the Dodger ace. It's hard
to think about what happened to him last year in
that debut in Korea and the struggles and the arm injury,
but man, what he came back and finished off the
second half of the season and what he showed in
the NLDS against the Padres, what he showed in the
(08:32):
postseason through the World Series showed.
Speaker 5 (08:35):
Me a lot.
Speaker 8 (08:37):
Showed me a lot of hotzpus so to speak from
a guy out there on the mound, and tonight to
go out there and to stop a four game losing streak,
to go out there and give Dave Roberts and this
team exactly what they needed, a dominating performance from a starter,
and Zero's on the scoreboard early and often, and that's
(09:00):
exactly what Yoshi did tonight. I thought he was fantastic.
And then to get out of that situation in the
seventh again reminded me of a tough not intimidated, not
caught up in the moment and the emotions of what's
happening on the game and letting it get too big
for him.
Speaker 5 (09:20):
In October. He did it again tonight in a pressure
situation there in the seventh Inny.
Speaker 8 (09:25):
Tyne runs at third, ninety feet away with two outs,
the go ahead runs at first, he could have unraveled
on the mound. Instead punches out. Pevin Smith, gets out
of his jam and hands it over to the bullpen,
who unfortunately didn't necessarily help him out in the ninth any,
but the Dodgers' offense fought back in the tenth. A
(09:47):
nice win for the Dodgers, and good come from behind
win for the Dodgers. Some question marks going forward, some
worries from you Dodger fans, the bullpen, Tanner Scott. I
want to put something quickly to rest though about Tanner Scott.
And this comes from Colin ye looking it up, and
I love it, and I appreciate it. Tanner Scott three
(10:10):
blown saves in his last twelve appearances since his last
blown save going into tonight, Tanner Scott had eight scoreless
appearances before his little incident tonight and the Gabrielle Moreno
solo home run the ninth and then the Corbyn Carroll
to run home run. Keep in mind he had not
pitched in multiple innings ever this season for the Dodgers
(10:34):
until tonight and gives up the two run home run
the Kilburn Carroll in his second inning of work. That's
a question I want to hear from Dave Roberts is
why he left him out there in the tenth inning
and didn't go right to the bullpen in another reliever.
But also I have no issue with Tanner Scott being
called upon the tenth inning. Got some texts, got some
tweets saying, whoa, wha, wha, whoa benky Spirius got a
(10:59):
huge wrikeout in the eighth inning of Guryel with the
bases loaded to clean up alex Vesia's mess. Why not
leave ben Ksparius in there to pitch the ninth after
what he did in six pitches striking out Guryel. Well,
I'll tell you why. Because you paid a reliever four years,
(11:20):
seventy two million dollars to be a reliever, to be
a one to two punch in high pressure situations, high
leverage outings in the back end of games, and Kirby's
Yates is injured, Tanner Scott's number was called one nothing
game paid to be a close out back into the
(11:42):
guy wrote a bullpen reliever, which he has been, which
he's been very successful at. Tonight he gave it up
in the ninth and he gave it up in the tenth.
I'm not afraid to go back to Tanner Scott next
time out when the Dodgers have a lead, when they
need a game close. I'm not afraid to go to
(12:03):
Tanner Scott on what he had done the previous eight outings.
Speaker 5 (12:06):
Tonight.
Speaker 8 (12:07):
I think it is just gonna be a hiccup, a
little blip on the radar. Hopefully moving forward, we'll hear
from him coming up in just a little bit. WHILESO
here from Jose Mota. Let's hear from the manager Dave
Roberts real quick after tonight's come from behind win over
the Arizona dialbacks, and then we'll get to your phone calls.
Let's hear from the Dodger skipper again. Dodgers went in
ten innings, four to three over the Snakes. Here's the manager,
(12:27):
Dave Roberts.
Speaker 9 (12:28):
Yeah, Yoshi was was fantastic. We needed every bit of it.
Certainly we've pushed some more than we have all year,
and he earned that opportunity. I thought tonight. He was
just getting ahead of hitters all night long. The split,
the curveball really came into play today and that's a
(12:51):
very tough lineup to navigate, and he just competed his
tailoff and going seven innings, you know, set us up
certainly to win a ball game. And I thought early
we swung the bats well, didn't get anything to show
for it, but you know, it certainly turned in that
ninth inning. But to come away with the win was huge, huge, See.
(13:23):
You know, I don't know if it was a must win,
but certainly given Yoshi's outing, I think that you could
almost kind of you don't want to waste that that
great of an outing, and so it was just good
to see after going down two runs in that ninth
inning to come back, and you know, Tommy putting together
really nice about getting a hit on an off day
(13:45):
and coming in there, laid into the game playing a role,
and you know, just kind of obviously passing the baton.
There's some free passes in there. But all night I
thought we had some really good at bets. Tayo took
a really good at bat. I thought, well, took some
really good at bats, and then ultimately Max to you know,
(14:07):
driving the winning run was big for all of us.
Speaker 8 (14:10):
All right, there's the manager, Dave Roberts, and he's right.
The Dodgers had a one nothing lead. They had a
lot of balls. They squared up tonight against the Diamondbacks
and just hit it right at players, and you know,
those balls fall in. The Dodgers are up big and
had to blowout win. As it is, the Dodgers not
finding the green grass, finding the guys on defense, and
(14:32):
it's a one nothing game and it's close, and the
Dodgers end up seeing the game get tied in the ninth,
fall behind three to one of the tenth inning, and
as he alluded to, in that tenth inning, Tommy Edmonds
started it all with that two pitch that he just
puts over third base down the line in left field
for a double, making it a three to two game.
Will Smith, you know, not flying out of the box
(14:55):
when a ball's up and in on him. Instead just
turns his shoulder and takes the hit by pitch. You know,
sometimes a guy will try to get out of there.
I don't want to hit by a pitch. I'm not
gonna take my bat unselfish. Takes the hit by pitch,
brings in the tie and run. A couple of intentional
walks mixed in there. Good job by Mookie Betts, you know,
(15:16):
he just missed it hitting a home run after they
intentionally walked.
Speaker 5 (15:20):
Show.
Speaker 8 (15:20):
Hey, Otani hits it deep to center field. As it is,
it's good enough to move the runner from second to third.
Show Hate you saw a good job by him stealing
second base. They intentionally walked Freddy Freeman and Max Munsey
to sackfly Later on that inn, he wins it for
the Dodgers four to three. You know, I've been working
at sports talk radio a long time. One of the
(15:40):
guys who has been an OG caller to sports Talk
radio from from the days of the Ben and Dave Show,
to Arnie Spanier to Big Joe McDonald to Petro Some
Money to big Ben Mallard on Fox Sports Radio is
my guy helmet Man here in LA and I have
not seen or talked to hell Man in a few years.
Speaker 5 (16:01):
Helmet Man, how are you doing?
Speaker 3 (16:02):
My friend top funny heaving tim long time. I go
back to you.
Speaker 8 (16:10):
As f heck saw Hamilton days even through leagline as well.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
My friend, Oh yeah, Lee, Yeah, I was talking about
the Dodgers. I'm thinking I got so much tap in them.
They're gonna win sixth in.
Speaker 5 (16:30):
A row, I hope.
Speaker 8 (16:31):
So, helmet Man, how about tonight the Dramatics up one
to nothing, fall behind three to one, and then win
it with three runs in the tenth day. And this
team is just so you cannot sleep on this team,
helmet Man.
Speaker 5 (16:42):
This offense is too good.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
Yeah, I know, but it's early in the season.
Speaker 10 (16:50):
I think one of those World Series season they did
almost the same thing. But I know it was a
short season. They had a bad streak somewhere in the
early season on a mid mid season last year. It's
not how you started, it's how you finish it.
Speaker 8 (17:06):
Absolutely, absolutely, all these people worried about the injuries. Right now,
helmet man, as long as they can get these arms
healthy by the second half of the season in August
and September, that's when they need to be at one
hundred percent. That's when they need all arms on deck, right,
helmet Man.
Speaker 10 (17:24):
Yeah right, And how about my orioles. They don't look
too good.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
You know.
Speaker 10 (17:29):
I'm an oio. I was born and raised in Baltimore,
but I still have my storage from helmets.
Speaker 8 (17:36):
Okay, Yeah, I love the Baltimore's. I love those orange
uniforms they had over the weekend, helmet Man.
Speaker 5 (17:42):
They kind of went.
Speaker 8 (17:43):
Retro back with the all orange look, even though they
got destroyed by the Washington Nationals over the weekend. Great
to hear your voice. Please, don't be a stranger. It's
been way too long, helmet Man. I do hear you occasionally.
I'm with Big Ben Mallar on Fox Sports Radio, which
is coming up after we're done here tonight.
Speaker 5 (17:58):
But great to hear your voice.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
Yeah, same to Ben.
Speaker 10 (18:03):
Hello, but I might call him tonight.

Daniels Jewelers owned the dream. Let's check in with Jose
It's tough to go around the horn.
Speaker 6 (20:22):
With host Dane Mode.
Speaker 8 (20:23):
Wow, the ups and downs of a baseball game and
nine innings of baseball which tonight actually was ten innings
for the Dodgers and Diamondbacks. But first off, Jose, what
a night from Yoshinobu Yama modo. He is exactly what
the Dodgers needed.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
Oh my gosh, Samurai brought that sword, knives and sharp
and he went one ten on pitches today. Just every
pitch counted, every pitch was competing with And then his
tazl was quite heavy today. Yeah, a little more zip,
not anserly of velocity, but no, he throws a very
heavy sinker. And Josh is as much as he is
a power pitcher, he can get a ground ball for you.
(21:00):
So I do it by the way that he went
up out of his business and just going after and
attacking a very deep light up the lineup that for
some reason Tim Bay feel very comfortable against the Dodgers,
I mean, from Marte to Carroll and obviously with moreno
no question about that. But Yoshi not will get it.
And the most important thing was the usage of the fastball.
It was unpredictable and the very few times that he's
(21:23):
able to set it up to pitch up stairs earlyiancounts
to just get it down again. He was quatrifficient and
the cutter today was a secret weapon that he showed
when he needed to at very crucial times.
Speaker 5 (21:35):
I mentioned it earlier.
Speaker 8 (21:36):
I got text and I got some tweets saying why
not leave ben Kisparius to go out to the ninth
in in a one nothing game? After he just struck
out the bases loaded in the eighth inning there and
getting Guryel Junior to strike out with the bases loaded,
why not bring him out there instead of Tanner Scott?
It's to me, no brainer. You paid Tanner's got a
lot of money to come in to be a back
(21:58):
end of the bullpen closer for you. That's why he's here.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Easy, I mean, logically, it makes sense. Last now, I
mean that's it's a great question. Why not, right, because
this guy was afishing and he made you know, very
what six pitches?
Speaker 1 (22:12):
Right? Yep?
Speaker 2 (22:12):
But then you go to the question of, okay, if
I leave them in and I lose that game, what
is the first question on in her face? Don't you
have a closer there that you're playing? You know, all
this money too, right, Yeah, so a manager and that
spot has nowhere to go but to go with a
guy that he believes and they brought here for a
reason goal close the ball game. Now, the fact is
that I know that Tanner Scott had these consecutive outings
(22:34):
where he did not allow run. But he just hasn't
been consistent. There's there's no way of hiding it. He's
missed a lot of spots. He's gotten into counts that
are you know, ideal for hitters. He doesn't seem like
there's that fear in the hitters in the batter's box
that we saw from someone hitters last year when the
doctor saw him, and you can see it from you know,
(22:55):
they get go. They're just waiting for one Pittrol mistake
and he continues to make you know mistakes points. Now,
he did have a nice stretch that where he was
okating well, the slider was working well. He was able
to put away guys easily by being a little more
unpredictable because he can pitch up starts with the best.
But at times it's not there. We saw it again
here tonight.
Speaker 5 (23:14):
I love the bottom half of the tenth inning and
it's great.
Speaker 8 (23:17):
You get to walk off win and the intentional walks
and the way they just kind of kept passing it
to the next guy to be the guy to get
something done. But it all started with Tommy edmund On
an O two splitter outside probably a ball, but he's
just trying to make sure he gets you know, bat
on ball, just to put it in play, and he
puts it down the left field line, trades places with
(23:38):
Kei Ky Hernandez. It's a three to two game. Still
nobody out to me. That set the tone in that
tenth Inny forgetting it going.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
Yeah, and Tommy his role. Obviously, we're not going to
expect Tommy to go out there and stand this tier
with the home runs. This is what Tommy does and
that's what he wants to do. I mean, yesterday he
got back. Remember Tommy also didn't have any rehab assignments.
He decided not to, so he's actually getting back into
hitting for him and timing in the big league. So
that one of the best things that happened today or
(24:08):
yesterday was late in the game, he gets a base
hit on being Lana fastball where the ball beat him,
and that's wonderful. That's what you want to do right now,
just try to see the ball as much as possible.
That back to me, taken away the one that we
missed from the right side. He popped up to the
short stop. Got back from last night, carry into this
at bat against Schelby Miller because you have an idea
as to what Shoey Miller is going to do with you.
(24:29):
You know how the split breaks, and I also think
that Will Smith knew how the split broke. So you
stay in there and get hit and just protect and
right from there. When you see that, it doesn't matter
what your name is, what you've done. The big boys
saw that. It's like, you know what, this is all
a long thing, productive team at bass and one guy
follow The next strategy was superb. I mean you have
Showy running, opening up a place for a reason. Yeah,
(24:52):
go ahead and walk Freddy. That's fine because I know
what's coming up next. And from then on. I think
it was a well minute politic game by both sides,
both managers, and thankfully that the the values just come ahead.
Speaker 8 (25:01):
Final thing Jose as a player, to get this win,
I guess it doesn't really matter how you get it,
but just to get the win to end a four
game losing streak, to have some positive momentum going into
tomorrow in the next game and not having to sit
there and fall asleep tonight and be thinking, gosh, are
we ever gonna win again?
Speaker 5 (25:19):
Five straight losses? What has happened to us?
Speaker 8 (25:22):
To get the win and to squash that and to
have some positive thoughts when you put your head down
on a pillow tonight.
Speaker 5 (25:27):
How big is that for a baseball player?
Speaker 2 (25:29):
Oh my god, it's really big. Now on top of
all of this is the fact that you finally had
a starter not allow to run the first inning. You're
enough pointing from behind the entire game, but you got
to pick up momento even though he did not get
the win. You have to pick up his effort to
go out there as a team and know that you
(25:50):
went through your worst stretch. You have the mount and
the mount people, the ones are going to be making
a difference. Hopefully, I will say, hopefully, tim you know
does to man, We're paying attention to see that you
that sinker by Yea Malta today in the fastball locations
against the d Bets and go through and copy of
that tomorrow night and rutilize them too.
Speaker 8 (26:07):
Looking forward to tomorrow because that means the Dodgers have
a chance to make it two in a row and
close out this homestand Jose, we appreciate it and we'll
check in later.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
Nice my friends, talk to you tomorrow.
Speaker 5 (26:16):
All right, there he goes Jose Mode.
Speaker 8 (26:19):
Tanner Scott tonight gave it up in the ninth and
then a two run shot in the tenth innan. But
as Jose mentioned, I said it, I have no problem
going to him in that one nothing game, even after
ben Kispirius got the big strikeout of gury Yell on
six pitches to ndy eighth inning. You paid Tanner Scott
a lot of money to come to sign with your
team this past offseason and be back into the bullpen
(26:39):
closer for you, and tonight his name was called without
any hesitation by Dave Roberts. Unfortunately it didn't work out.
Let's head back out to Dodger Stadium. Tanner Scott talking
to the media after a blown save.
Speaker 11 (26:50):
Felik at Tonight's an uncharacteristic night for you. Just what
do you think kind of gave them the Tomia Beat's
going up against you those two long.
Speaker 12 (26:56):
Balls leaving it too much on his own. I mean,
you know, ever want to see the ball go out
of the park, especially late in the game, and what
Yama was doing out there was incredible, and then this
then and then Wanda saving me. So I mean, yeah,
it's too much on the plate and given them good
pitches to it.
Speaker 11 (27:15):
Ultimately, guys obviously came back and won this one. But
for you personally, is there some more frustration, especially just
knowing what this week has looked like for the team?
Speaker 5 (27:22):
Oh definitely.
Speaker 12 (27:23):
I mean, I mean we needed to win bad and
luckily we have a pretty good lineup, so say it best.
Speaker 8 (27:29):
So for both those festivals, were you wanted those more
cluff side or were you wanted those more up?
Speaker 12 (27:33):
I mean, I was just trying to get it up
up and end. I just mean, Carol, I don't want
to make them comfortable, and I left it out over
and the Marino one left it too much on the play.
Speaker 5 (27:46):
Has this kind of felt like it's been taken up lately?
Like how you just kind of.
Speaker 3 (27:50):
Felt like where you're at?
Speaker 12 (27:52):
I feel good. I mean, stuff's good. It's just too
much on the plate today.
Speaker 8 (27:56):
All right, there's Tanner Scott, Yeah, just left fastballs over
the middle of the plate, No pitch to Gabriel Moreno,
right down the middle of the plate at Moreno, Who's
all of a sudden become the Dodger Killer. Hits a
home run to Tight in the ninth and as he
said again, you can't leave a ball over the plate
for Corbyn Carroll, and he took him opposite way for
a two run home run in the tenth inning, but
(28:17):
the Dodgers offense bailed him out with three in the
bottom of the tenth and the Dodgers get the four
to three win.
Speaker 5 (28:22):
Ken in Newport to wrap.
Speaker 8 (28:24):
Things up here on Dodger Talk on this Tuesday night
after a Dodger win, Ken, how you doing.
Speaker 7 (28:30):
Uh, it's been a long time that a long time.
Speaker 8 (28:32):
Let me ask you a question, Ken, Let me ask
you a question real quick. Do you do you believe
in the no hitter jinks? Do you believe that if
a broadcaster says the word no hitter wal it's happening.
There's such thing as a jinx in baseball.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
No, I don't believe, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 7 (28:49):
It's nobody on the fields hearing what they're saying. So
it's just one of those crazy coincidences. Yeah, okay, okay,
So the Allen Well was great. They desperately need this game.
They're going to play New York. New York has the
lowest er in the major leagues at two eighty six.
(29:10):
Dodger EURI for the team is four to twenty eight.
Now they need hitting. Tommy Edmonds has played thirty three
games and is twenty.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
Six runs betted in. They're left fielder. Conforto, who has
the worst betting average of an East starting left fielder,
has played in forty six games and has six runs
vetted in. I want you to do me a favorite,
and I've known you and you've known me a long time.
(29:41):
Put that in an envelope.
Speaker 4 (29:43):
It's those stats and throw it into Dave Roberts's office
so we can look and realize six RBIs in forty
six games, versus want these six in thirty three games.
And put Tommy Edmunds in left field. Please, enough of you, Confordo.
(30:08):
I'm sorry that he somebody gave him seventeen million dollars
to come here, but enough is enough.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
And they need for hitting. Edmunds needs to play every game.
Speaker 5 (30:19):
I'm with you.
Speaker 8 (30:19):
Tommy Edmonds has been the lineup and I think Tommy Evans,
if you're gonna do that and not having can afford
to and left field, Tommy Edmans not playing left field,
pot haz is moving over to left field, and Tommy
Evans is going to play center. And I was just
looking up the probables for the three game series in
New York? Is it shaping out right now? Griffin Canning
will go for the Mets on Friday. It's sort of
looking like as it is now, right hander. Game two
(30:42):
will be David Peterson scheduled to go. He is a
left hander. And then in the Sunday night game code
I singa, the right hander will go for the Mets.
So they'll see two of three right handers in that
three game series. Does that mean Canforda is going to
be in the lineup in two of those three games? Well, again,
Tommy Edmonds a left handed, switch hitting hitter. You can
very easily make him a left handed hitter against those
(31:04):
righties and still have that left handed bat in there.
If you're worried about having a Confordo's left handed bat
in the lineup, you got one and Tommy Edmon. So
there is an answer to the fact that, well there's
two righties, and we need the left handed bat. It
could be Tommy Edmond, who hits from the left handed side,
which he's been very successful and probably better at this season.
So I'd be interested to see what they do this weekend,
(31:24):
and against a second place New York Mets team, by
the way, who have lost three in a row and
are now looking up at the Philadelphia Affilies, who have
won five straight and now have the most wins in
the National League at thirty two. We'll see when they
get to New York. I would be shocked if they
straight away from what they've been doing, and Michael Conforto's
not playing and starting in two of those three games.
But again, I'm with you again. The clock is ticking
(31:47):
as far as how long can you leave him out there?
And that bat and the lack of production you're seeing
from Michael Confordo, So every game another one goes off
the calendar, you have to start it wondering how long
are they going to keep him out there? Eight six, six, nine,
eighty seven two five seven. Unfortunately, that is gonna do
it for postgame Dodger talk. Brad Paisley, Sorry, we tried
(32:09):
to get you on maybe next time, Dodgers win it
in ten innings, a walk off win. They've scored three
runs at the bottom of the tenth. Max Munsey is
sack fly scoring show aoton. He wins it four to
three in ten. Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Tip of the cap to
you tonight, young man.
Speaker 5 (32:29):
Seven shutout innings.
Speaker 8 (32:30):
Took a no hitter into the seventh nine punch outs
a no decision for his brilliant outing to nine.
Speaker 5 (32:37):
Dodgers get to a run early, can't.
Speaker 8 (32:39):
Hang on to the one nothing lead, but end up
winning in ten. Next to that three run bottom half
of the tenth inning Andony Bonda gets the winning relief.
Speaker 5 (32:46):
Dodgers will go back at it tomorrow night.
Speaker 8 (32:48):
Dustin may Corbyn Burr's a finale that is the pitching
matchup first pitch seven ten. We'll get it all started
with Morongo Casino. Dodgers on deck beginning at six o'clock
and they'st.
Speaker 6 (32:58):
To Colin Yee.
Speaker 8 (33:01):
We're back at it tomorrow. Bet Maller show coming up
next media, you'll hear from the helmet man again. Who
knows Stay tuned. I have a great sat fresh here
Tuesday night, Feel better. David Fast today, so long
One thing about this gene is the invisible and tangibles
that they have.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
This team is really becoming a family.
Speaker 3 (00:09):
Let's not play one on Tom.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
Let's wind it.
Speaker 4 (00:11):
I love writing these guys after the show.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
So just thank you, give me are.
Speaker 5 (00:15):
Your attention, your fire ring, not a pisson.
Speaker 6 (00:17):
This is world champion, Dodgers, world championing.
Speaker 5 (00:21):
For a small soft time they get a people what
they want to die in a row two is special.
I'm like, yeah, it's not a headache.
Speaker 7 (00:28):
One of a con.
Speaker 5 (00:30):
This ball's gone. You ready to go? Sure, old time,
go to the South, grab your phone.
Speaker 6 (00:36):
To get in on the show called eight six six
nine eighty seven two five seven.
Speaker 5 (00:40):
And go to the show.
Speaker 6 (00:41):
And now your host of Dodger Talk, Tim kats Wow,
what a win for the Dodgers.
Speaker 8 (00:49):
Up one to nothing, going to the ninth inning, all
ready to talk about the audience from Yoshinobu Yamamoto, and
then Tanner Scott gives up the home run, then gives
up the two unshot in the tenth inning, and all
set to do a Dodger talk about how this bullpen
gave it up in the ninth inning and then the extras,
only to have the Dodgers fight their way back three
(01:12):
runs in the bottom half of the tenth, Inny manufacturing
those three runs passing the.
Speaker 5 (01:18):
Baton onto the next guy.
Speaker 8 (01:20):
That's how it's done for this Dodgers team as they
win it four to three and ten innings over the
Arizona Diamondbacks. Eight sixty six nine seven two five seventy
is the number. Eight six six nine eight seven two
five to seventy. We're gonna hear from Jose Mota coming
up here on Dodger Talk. We're gonna hear from the manager,
Dave Roberts here on Dodger Talk, and we're gonna get
the postgame thoughts of Tanner Scott, Dodger reliever four years,
(01:44):
seventy two million dollars deal he signed in the offseason
along with Kirby Yates to bolster this Dodgers bullpen, and tonight,
Tanner Scott gave it up in the ninth inning. The
Gabriel moreno on a one to zero fastball over the
heart of the plate to tie the game, and then
Corbyn Carroll takes him deep in the tenth to give
him a three to one lead. The ninth inning was
(02:06):
a disaster for the Dodgers. The tenth disaster for Tanner Scott.
The Dodgers offense bailed him out in the bottom half
of the tenth inning. And I love how they did it,
Tommy Edmond. I mean, we're all gonna remember what you
know Will Smith did getting hit by a pitch. Max
Muntzi to sackfly drive it in, show hey to win it.
Tommy Edmond started it all on an O to two
(02:30):
splitter from Shelby Miller about five inches off the plate,
throws the bat out at the pitch and slaps it
into the left field down the left field line for
an RBI double scoring Key k. Hernandez, the free runner
to start the tenth inning, trades places with Key K.
Makes it a three to two game. Still nobody out.
(02:52):
Otani walks two batters later, Freddie Freeman intentionally walked, and
he said walked. I think a big reason is because
shoey Otani. He stole second, freeing up first base one
out to bring up Will Smith. I'd rather face Will
Smith with the bases loaded, try to get a ground
ball double play. Will Smith, not the fastest of runners,
(03:12):
set up a double play ball get out of it.
Still a three to two game, Will Smith hit by
a pitch by Shelby Middller on a splitter that hits
him on the elbow guard and brings in Tommy Eban
from third and ties the game. At that point, Max
Munsey's only job is to hit the ball to.
Speaker 5 (03:32):
The outfield somewhere.
Speaker 8 (03:34):
Doesn't matter if it's a fly ball out because it's
gonna win the game. Doesn't matter, if it's a home run,
doesn't matter, if it's a ball in the gap. Just
drive the ball somewhere to bring in Shoe Aotani and
the go ahead walk off run, and Max Munsey gets
ahead two to zero. The count swings at a two
to zero fastball down the middle of the plate and
(03:56):
I looked at Colinie. I said, he is trying to
hit this ball as far as he can, and he
fell on the one knee Reggie Jackson style and missed
for strike one. The next pitch, again a four seam fastball,
and this time just drives it to center field. Nothing
the Diamondbacks can do deep enough to bring an Otani
(04:19):
and the Dodgers with three runs and the bottom half
of the tenth inning get the walk off win. This
game was a rollercoaster of emotions, the.
Speaker 5 (04:29):
Dramatics of.
Speaker 8 (04:32):
Yoshinobu Yamamoto pitching a no hitter through four, then through five,
then through six, the pitch count getting up. Will he
be out there even for a ninth inning or an
eighth inning to try to continue a no hitter? It
was spoiled by Kotel Marte with the leadoff single in
the seventh, But he stays out there and with two
(04:53):
outs and runners on first and third. Dave Roberts, I
love the decision to leave him out there. He would
have gone to Alex Vesia. Tim never thought he was
gonna go to him. Dave Roberts, though, just sat in
that seat in the dugout, looking at his scorecard, keeping
Yoshinobu Yabamoto in the game. And he strikes out Peven
(05:14):
Smith with runners at first and third and two outs
to keep it a one nothing Dodgers game and hand
it over to the bullpen to do the rest of
it to get the final six outs. Unfortunately, again the
ups and downs the roller coaster of emotions in this game.
The game was tied in the ninth, Diamondbacks took a
three to one lead. I gotta be honest with you,
(05:36):
Dodger fans, I didn't like it. I kind of felt
like the momentum was all Arizona. They take the lead
in the top half of the tenth inning, I kind
of felt even though with who was coming up, the
game was over and Tommy Edmond just sparked the offense
and then Tory Lavello, who was a UCLA Bruins and
the fours up for the Bruins is what they they
(05:58):
kind of do you get the fight signal for usc again?
Speaker 5 (06:01):
You got the fours up for Bruins fans.
Speaker 8 (06:03):
Well, he put fours up not to show off his
UCLA pride, but to intentionally walk Freddie Freeman and show
Hey Otani. In that tenth inning, Mookie Betts flew out
but advanced the runner, and Max Munsey a sack fly
with the bases loaded wins it four to three for
the Dodgers.
Speaker 5 (06:24):
An emotionally up and down game.
Speaker 8 (06:27):
If you're a Dodger fan eight six, six, nine eighty
seven to two five seventy the way it ended makes
you feel good. Certainly, the five minutes before that, in
which Tanner Scott had to get Anthony Bonda to come
in to get the final out of the tenth inning.
Speaker 5 (06:42):
Didn't leave you.
Speaker 8 (06:43):
Feeling very good, but the Dodgers snapped the four game
losing streak. That's important, and maybe a little momentum now
going forward. A little bit of momentum with the starting
pitching and what Yoshinobu Yabamoto did tonight, And a little
bit of momentum with what the offense did tonight pushing
across three runs in the bottom half of the tenth inning.
Hopefully that carries into tomorrow's game and they can finish
(07:05):
off this homestand and this series on a winning note
and then get ready for a nice road trip back
east to New York and Cleveland, which is gonna be tough.
It's gonna be a tough three game series over the
weekend against the Mets. But the Dodgers tonight, I love
the fight. We've seen them fight back six runs a
(07:26):
came back and won a game in Arizona on the
last road trip. We've seen the Dodgers come up short
in a couple of games on this homestand but still
fighting through until the ninth inning, the last that bat
of the game was it last night? You had Hey
song Kim ground out with Otani on.
Speaker 5 (07:43):
Deck, and they were one swing away from winning that
game last night.
Speaker 8 (07:47):
The fight I love from this Dodgers team. In this
Dodgers offense, it's been pitching and starting pitching, putting them
in holes for them to dig out of deficits. Tonight,
Yoshinobu Yabamoto was brilliant. If there's any argument left about
who the Dodger ace is, I think it ended tonight
(08:11):
because Yoshinobu Yamamoto is now the Dodger ace. It's hard
to think about what happened to him last year in
that debut in Korea and the struggles and the arm injury,
but man, what he came back and finished off the
second half of the season and what he showed in
the NLDS against the Padres, what he showed in the
(08:32):
postseason through the World Series showed.
Speaker 5 (08:35):
Me a lot.
Speaker 8 (08:37):
Showed me a lot of hotzpus so to speak from
a guy out there on the mound, and tonight to
go out there and to stop a four game losing streak,
to go out there and give Dave Roberts and this
team exactly what they needed, a dominating performance from a starter,
and Zero's on the scoreboard early and often, and that's
(09:00):
exactly what Yoshi did tonight. I thought he was fantastic.
And then to get out of that situation in the
seventh again reminded me of a tough not intimidated, not
caught up in the moment and the emotions of what's
happening on the game and letting it get too big
for him.
Speaker 5 (09:20):
In October. He did it again tonight in a pressure
situation there in the seventh Inny.
Speaker 8 (09:25):
Tyne runs at third, ninety feet away with two outs,
the go ahead runs at first, he could have unraveled
on the mound. Instead punches out. Pevin Smith, gets out
of his jam and hands it over to the bullpen,
who unfortunately didn't necessarily help him out in the ninth any,
but the Dodgers' offense fought back in the tenth. A
(09:47):
nice win for the Dodgers, and good come from behind
win for the Dodgers. Some question marks going forward, some
worries from you Dodger fans, the bullpen, Tanner Scott. I
want to put something quickly to rest though about Tanner Scott.
And this comes from Colin ye looking it up, and
I love it, and I appreciate it. Tanner Scott three
(10:10):
blown saves in his last twelve appearances since his last
blown save going into tonight, Tanner Scott had eight scoreless
appearances before his little incident tonight and the Gabrielle Moreno
solo home run the ninth and then the Corbyn Carroll
to run home run. Keep in mind he had not
pitched in multiple innings ever this season for the Dodgers
(10:34):
until tonight and gives up the two run home run
the Kilburn Carroll in his second inning of work. That's
a question I want to hear from Dave Roberts is
why he left him out there in the tenth inning
and didn't go right to the bullpen in another reliever.
But also I have no issue with Tanner Scott being
called upon the tenth inning. Got some texts, got some
tweets saying, whoa, wha, wha, whoa benky Spirius got a
(10:59):
huge wrikeout in the eighth inning of Guryel with the
bases loaded to clean up alex Vesia's mess. Why not
leave ben Ksparius in there to pitch the ninth after
what he did in six pitches striking out Guryel. Well,
I'll tell you why. Because you paid a reliever four years,
(11:20):
seventy two million dollars to be a reliever, to be
a one to two punch in high pressure situations, high
leverage outings in the back end of games, and Kirby's
Yates is injured, Tanner Scott's number was called one nothing
game paid to be a close out back into the
(11:42):
guy wrote a bullpen reliever, which he has been, which
he's been very successful at. Tonight he gave it up
in the ninth and he gave it up in the tenth.
I'm not afraid to go back to Tanner Scott next
time out when the Dodgers have a lead, when they
need a game close. I'm not afraid to go to
(12:03):
Tanner Scott on what he had done the previous eight outings.
Speaker 5 (12:06):
Tonight.
Speaker 8 (12:07):
I think it is just gonna be a hiccup, a
little blip on the radar. Hopefully moving forward, we'll hear
from him coming up in just a little bit. WHILESO
here from Jose Mota. Let's hear from the manager Dave
Roberts real quick after tonight's come from behind win over
the Arizona dialbacks, and then we'll get to your phone calls.
Let's hear from the Dodger skipper again. Dodgers went in
ten innings, four to three over the Snakes. Here's the manager,
(12:27):
Dave Roberts.
Speaker 9 (12:28):
Yeah, Yoshi was was fantastic. We needed every bit of it.
Certainly we've pushed some more than we have all year,
and he earned that opportunity. I thought tonight. He was
just getting ahead of hitters all night long. The split,
the curveball really came into play today and that's a
(12:51):
very tough lineup to navigate, and he just competed his
tailoff and going seven innings, you know, set us up
certainly to win a ball game. And I thought early
we swung the bats well, didn't get anything to show
for it, but you know, it certainly turned in that
ninth inning. But to come away with the win was huge, huge, See.
(13:23):
You know, I don't know if it was a must win,
but certainly given Yoshi's outing, I think that you could
almost kind of you don't want to waste that that
great of an outing, and so it was just good
to see after going down two runs in that ninth
inning to come back, and you know, Tommy putting together
really nice about getting a hit on an off day
(13:45):
and coming in there, laid into the game playing a role,
and you know, just kind of obviously passing the baton.
There's some free passes in there. But all night I
thought we had some really good at bets. Tayo took
a really good at bat. I thought, well, took some
really good at bats, and then ultimately Max to you know,
(14:07):
driving the winning run was big for all of us.
Speaker 8 (14:10):
All right, there's the manager, Dave Roberts, and he's right.
The Dodgers had a one nothing lead. They had a
lot of balls. They squared up tonight against the Diamondbacks
and just hit it right at players, and you know,
those balls fall in. The Dodgers are up big and
had to blowout win. As it is, the Dodgers not
finding the green grass, finding the guys on defense, and
(14:32):
it's a one nothing game and it's close, and the
Dodgers end up seeing the game get tied in the ninth,
fall behind three to one of the tenth inning, and
as he alluded to, in that tenth inning, Tommy Edmonds
started it all with that two pitch that he just
puts over third base down the line in left field
for a double, making it a three to two game.
Will Smith, you know, not flying out of the box
(14:55):
when a ball's up and in on him. Instead just
turns his shoulder and takes the hit by pitch. You know,
sometimes a guy will try to get out of there.
I don't want to hit by a pitch. I'm not
gonna take my bat unselfish. Takes the hit by pitch,
brings in the tie and run. A couple of intentional
walks mixed in there. Good job by Mookie Betts, you know,
(15:16):
he just missed it hitting a home run after they
intentionally walked.
Speaker 5 (15:20):
Show.
Speaker 8 (15:20):
Hey, Otani hits it deep to center field. As it is,
it's good enough to move the runner from second to third.
Show Hate you saw a good job by him stealing
second base. They intentionally walked Freddy Freeman and Max Munsey
to sackfly Later on that inn, he wins it for
the Dodgers four to three. You know, I've been working
at sports talk radio a long time. One of the
(15:40):
guys who has been an OG caller to sports Talk
radio from from the days of the Ben and Dave Show,
to Arnie Spanier to Big Joe McDonald to Petro Some
Money to big Ben Mallard on Fox Sports Radio is
my guy helmet Man here in LA and I have
not seen or talked to hell Man in a few years.
Speaker 5 (16:01):
Helmet Man, how are you doing?
Speaker 3 (16:02):
My friend top funny heaving tim long time. I go
back to you.
Speaker 8 (16:10):
As f heck saw Hamilton days even through leagline as well.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
My friend, Oh yeah, Lee, Yeah, I was talking about
the Dodgers. I'm thinking I got so much tap in them.
They're gonna win sixth in.
Speaker 5 (16:30):
A row, I hope.
Speaker 8 (16:31):
So, helmet Man, how about tonight the Dramatics up one
to nothing, fall behind three to one, and then win
it with three runs in the tenth day. And this
team is just so you cannot sleep on this team,
helmet Man.
Speaker 5 (16:42):
This offense is too good.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
Yeah, I know, but it's early in the season.
Speaker 10 (16:50):
I think one of those World Series season they did
almost the same thing. But I know it was a
short season. They had a bad streak somewhere in the
early season on a mid mid season last year. It's
not how you started, it's how you finish it.
Speaker 8 (17:06):
Absolutely, absolutely, all these people worried about the injuries. Right now,
helmet man, as long as they can get these arms
healthy by the second half of the season in August
and September, that's when they need to be at one
hundred percent. That's when they need all arms on deck, right,
helmet Man.
Speaker 10 (17:24):
Yeah right, And how about my orioles. They don't look
too good.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
You know.
Speaker 10 (17:29):
I'm an oio. I was born and raised in Baltimore,
but I still have my storage from helmets.
Speaker 8 (17:36):
Okay, Yeah, I love the Baltimore's. I love those orange
uniforms they had over the weekend, helmet Man.
Speaker 5 (17:42):
They kind of went.
Speaker 8 (17:43):
Retro back with the all orange look, even though they

Daniels Jewelers owned the dream. Let's check in with Jose
It's tough to go around the horn.
Speaker 6 (20:22):
With host Dane Mode.
Speaker 8 (20:23):
Wow, the ups and downs of a baseball game and
nine innings of baseball which tonight actually was ten innings
for the Dodgers and Diamondbacks. But first off, Jose, what
a night from Yoshinobu Yama modo. He is exactly what
the Dodgers needed.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
Oh my gosh, Samurai brought that sword, knives and sharp
and he went one ten on pitches today. Just every
pitch counted, every pitch was competing with And then his
tazl was quite heavy today. Yeah, a little more zip,
not anserly of velocity, but no, he throws a very
heavy sinker. And Josh is as much as he is
a power pitcher, he can get a ground ball for you.
(21:00):
So I do it by the way that he went
up out of his business and just going after and
attacking a very deep light up the lineup that for
some reason Tim Bay feel very comfortable against the Dodgers,
I mean, from Marte to Carroll and obviously with moreno
no question about that. But Yoshi not will get it.
And the most important thing was the usage of the fastball.
It was unpredictable and the very few times that he's
(21:23):
able to set it up to pitch up stairs earlyiancounts
to just get it down again. He was quatrifficient and
the cutter today was a secret weapon that he showed
when he needed to at very crucial times.
Speaker 5 (21:35):
I mentioned it earlier.
Speaker 8 (21:36):
I got text and I got some tweets saying why
not leave ben Kisparius to go out to the ninth
in in a one nothing game? After he just struck
out the bases loaded in the eighth inning there and
getting Guryel Junior to strike out with the bases loaded,
why not bring him out there instead of Tanner Scott?
It's to me, no brainer. You paid Tanner's got a
lot of money to come in to be a back
(21:58):
end of the bullpen closer for you. That's why he's here.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Easy, I mean, logically, it makes sense. Last now, I
mean that's it's a great question. Why not, right, because
this guy was afishing and he made you know, very
what six pitches?
Speaker 1 (22:12):
Right? Yep?
Speaker 2 (22:12):
But then you go to the question of, okay, if
I leave them in and I lose that game, what
is the first question on in her face? Don't you
have a closer there that you're playing? You know, all
this money too, right, Yeah, so a manager and that
spot has nowhere to go but to go with a
guy that he believes and they brought here for a
reason goal close the ball game. Now, the fact is
that I know that Tanner Scott had these consecutive outings
(22:34):
where he did not allow run. But he just hasn't
been consistent. There's there's no way of hiding it. He's
missed a lot of spots. He's gotten into counts that
are you know, ideal for hitters. He doesn't seem like
there's that fear in the hitters in the batter's box
that we saw from someone hitters last year when the
doctor saw him, and you can see it from you know,
(22:55):
they get go. They're just waiting for one Pittrol mistake
and he continues to make you know mistakes points. Now,
he did have a nice stretch that where he was
okating well, the slider was working well. He was able
to put away guys easily by being a little more
unpredictable because he can pitch up starts with the best.
But at times it's not there. We saw it again
here tonight.
Speaker 5 (23:14):
I love the bottom half of the tenth inning and
it's great.
Speaker 8 (23:17):
You get to walk off win and the intentional walks
and the way they just kind of kept passing it
to the next guy to be the guy to get
something done. But it all started with Tommy edmund On
an O two splitter outside probably a ball, but he's
just trying to make sure he gets you know, bat
on ball, just to put it in play, and he
puts it down the left field line, trades places with
(23:38):
Kei Ky Hernandez. It's a three to two game. Still
nobody out to me. That set the tone in that
tenth Inny forgetting it going.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
Yeah, and Tommy his role. Obviously, we're not going to
expect Tommy to go out there and stand this tier
with the home runs. This is what Tommy does and
that's what he wants to do. I mean, yesterday he
got back. Remember Tommy also didn't have any rehab assignments.
He decided not to, so he's actually getting back into
hitting for him and timing in the big league. So
that one of the best things that happened today or
(24:08):
yesterday was late in the game, he gets a base
hit on being Lana fastball where the ball beat him,
and that's wonderful. That's what you want to do right now,
just try to see the ball as much as possible.
That back to me, taken away the one that we
missed from the right side. He popped up to the
short stop. Got back from last night, carry into this
at bat against Schelby Miller because you have an idea
as to what Shoey Miller is going to do with you.
(24:29):
You know how the split breaks, and I also think
that Will Smith knew how the split broke. So you
stay in there and get hit and just protect and
right from there. When you see that, it doesn't matter
what your name is, what you've done. The big boys
saw that. It's like, you know what, this is all
a long thing, productive team at bass and one guy
follow The next strategy was superb. I mean you have
Showy running, opening up a place for a reason. Yeah,
(24:52):
go ahead and walk Freddy. That's fine because I know
what's coming up next. And from then on. I think
it was a well minute politic game by both sides,
both managers, and thankfully that the the values just come ahead.
Speaker 8 (25:01):
Final thing Jose as a player, to get this win,
I guess it doesn't really matter how you get it,
but just to get the win to end a four
game losing streak, to have some positive momentum going into
tomorrow in the next game and not having to sit
there and fall asleep tonight and be thinking, gosh, are
we ever gonna win again?
Speaker 5 (25:19):
Five straight losses? What has happened to us?
Speaker 8 (25:22):
To get the win and to squash that and to
have some positive thoughts when you put your head down
on a pillow tonight.
Speaker 5 (25:27):
How big is that for a baseball player?
Speaker 2 (25:29):
Oh my god, it's really big. Now on top of
all of this is the fact that you finally had
a starter not allow to run the first inning. You're
enough pointing from behind the entire game, but you got
to pick up momento even though he did not get
the win. You have to pick up his effort to
go out there as a team and know that you
(25:50):
went through your worst stretch. You have the mount and
the mount people, the ones are going to be making
a difference. Hopefully, I will say, hopefully, tim you know
does to man, We're paying attention to see that you
that sinker by Yea Malta today in the fastball locations
against the d Bets and go through and copy of
that tomorrow night and rutilize them too.
Speaker 8 (26:07):
Looking forward to tomorrow because that means the Dodgers have
a chance to make it two in a row and
close out this homestand Jose, we appreciate it and we'll
check in later.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
Nice my friends, talk to you tomorrow.
Speaker 5 (26:16):
All right, there he goes Jose Mode.
Speaker 8 (26:19):
Tanner Scott tonight gave it up in the ninth and
then a two run shot in the tenth innan. But
as Jose mentioned, I said it, I have no problem
going to him in that one nothing game, even after
ben Kispirius got the big strikeout of gury Yell on
six pitches to ndy eighth inning. You paid Tanner Scott
a lot of money to come to sign with your
team this past offseason and be back into the bullpen
(26:39):
closer for you, and tonight his name was called without
any hesitation by Dave Roberts. Unfortunately it didn't work out.
Let's head back out to Dodger Stadium. Tanner Scott talking
to the media after a blown save.
Speaker 11 (26:50):
Felik at Tonight's an uncharacteristic night for you. Just what
do you think kind of gave them the Tomia Beat's
going up against you those two long.
Speaker 12 (26:56):
Balls leaving it too much on his own. I mean,
you know, ever want to see the ball go out
of the park, especially late in the game, and what
Yama was doing out there was incredible, and then this
then and then Wanda saving me. So I mean, yeah,
it's too much on the plate and given them good
pitches to it.
Speaker 11 (27:15):
Ultimately, guys obviously came back and won this one. But
for you personally, is there some more frustration, especially just
knowing what this week has looked like for the team?
Speaker 5 (27:22):
Oh definitely.
Speaker 12 (27:23):
I mean, I mean we needed to win bad and
luckily we have a pretty good lineup, so say it best.
Speaker 8 (27:29):
So for both those festivals, were you wanted those more
cluff side or were you wanted those more up?
Speaker 12 (27:33):
I mean, I was just trying to get it up
up and end. I just mean, Carol, I don't want
to make them comfortable, and I left it out over
and the Marino one left it too much on the play.
Speaker 5 (27:46):
Has this kind of felt like it's been taken up lately?
Like how you just kind of.
Speaker 3 (27:50):
Felt like where you're at?
Speaker 12 (27:52):
I feel good. I mean, stuff's good. It's just too
much on the plate today.
Speaker 8 (27:56):
All right, there's Tanner Scott, Yeah, just left fastballs over
the middle of the plate, No pitch to Gabriel Moreno,
right down the middle of the plate at Moreno, Who's
all of a sudden become the Dodger Killer. Hits a
home run to Tight in the ninth and as he
said again, you can't leave a ball over the plate
for Corbyn Carroll, and he took him opposite way for
a two run home run in the tenth inning, but
(28:17):
the Dodgers offense bailed him out with three in the
bottom of the tenth and the Dodgers get the four
to three win.
Speaker 5 (28:22):
Ken in Newport to wrap.
Speaker 8 (28:24):
Things up here on Dodger Talk on this Tuesday night
after a Dodger win, Ken, how you doing.
Speaker 7 (28:30):
Uh, it's been a long time that a long time.
Speaker 8 (28:32):
Let me ask you a question, Ken, Let me ask
you a question real quick. Do you do you believe
in the no hitter jinks? Do you believe that if
a broadcaster says the word no hitter wal it's happening.
There's such thing as a jinx in baseball.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
No, I don't believe, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 7 (28:49):
It's nobody on the fields hearing what they're saying. So
it's just one of those crazy coincidences. Yeah, okay, okay,
So the Allen Well was great. They desperately need this game.
They're going to play New York. New York has the
lowest er in the major leagues at two eighty six.
(29:10):
Dodger EURI for the team is four to twenty eight.
Now they need hitting. Tommy Edmonds has played thirty three
games and is twenty.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
Six runs betted in. They're left fielder. Conforto, who has
the worst betting average of an East starting left fielder,
has played in forty six games and has six runs
vetted in. I want you to do me a favorite,
and I've known you and you've known me a long time.
(29:41):
Put that in an envelope.
Speaker 4 (29:43):
It's those stats and throw it into Dave Roberts's office
so we can look and realize six RBIs in forty
six games, versus want these six in thirty three games.
And put Tommy Edmunds in left field. Please, enough of you, Confordo.
(30:08):
I'm sorry that he somebody gave him seventeen million dollars
to come here, but enough is enough.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
And they need for hitting. Edmunds needs to play every game.
Speaker 5 (30:19):
I'm with you.
Speaker 8 (30:19):
Tommy Edmonds has been the lineup and I think Tommy Evans,
if you're gonna do that and not having can afford
to and left field, Tommy Edmans not playing left field,
pot haz is moving over to left field, and Tommy
Evans is going to play center. And I was just
looking up the probables for the three game series in
New York? Is it shaping out right now? Griffin Canning
will go for the Mets on Friday. It's sort of
looking like as it is now, right hander. Game two
(30:42):
will be David Peterson scheduled to go. He is a
left hander. And then in the Sunday night game code
I singa, the right hander will go for the Mets.
So they'll see two of three right handers in that
three game series. Does that mean Canforda is going to
be in the lineup in two of those three games? Well, again,
Tommy Edmonds a left handed, switch hitting hitter. You can
very easily make him a left handed hitter against those
(31:04):
righties and still have that left handed bat in there.
If you're worried about having a Confordo's left handed bat
in the lineup, you got one and Tommy Edmon. So
there is an answer to the fact that, well there's
two righties, and we need the left handed bat. It
could be Tommy Edmond, who hits from the left handed side,
which he's been very successful and probably better at this season.
So I'd be interested to see what they do this weekend,
(31:24):
and against a second place New York Mets team, by
the way, who have lost three in a row and
are now looking up at the Philadelphia Affilies, who have
won five straight and now have the most wins in
the National League at thirty two. We'll see when they
get to New York. I would be shocked if they
straight away from what they've been doing, and Michael Conforto's
not playing and starting in two of those three games.
But again, I'm with you again. The clock is ticking
(31:47):
as far as how long can you leave him out there?
And that bat and the lack of production you're seeing
from Michael Confordo, So every game another one goes off
the calendar, you have to start it wondering how long
are they going to keep him out there? Eight six, six, nine,
eighty seven two five seven. Unfortunately, that is gonna do
it for postgame Dodger talk. Brad Paisley, Sorry, we tried
(32:09):
to get you on maybe next time, Dodgers win it
in ten innings, a walk off win. They've scored three
runs at the bottom of the tenth. Max Munsey is
sack fly scoring show aoton. He wins it four to
three in ten. Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Tip of the cap to
you tonight, young man.
Speaker 5 (32:29):
Seven shutout innings.
Speaker 8 (32:30):
Took a no hitter into the seventh nine punch outs
a no decision for his brilliant outing to nine.
Speaker 5 (32:37):
Dodgers get to a run early, can't.
Speaker 8 (32:39):
Hang on to the one nothing lead, but end up
winning in ten. Next to that three run bottom half
of the tenth inning Andony Bonda gets the winning relief.
Speaker 5 (32:46):
Dodgers will go back at it tomorrow night.
Speaker 8 (32:48):
Dustin may Corbyn Burr's a finale that is the pitching
matchup first pitch seven ten. We'll get it all started
with Morongo Casino. Dodgers on deck beginning at six o'clock
and they'st.
Speaker 6 (32:58):
To Colin Yee.
Speaker 8 (33:01):
We're back at it tomorrow. Bet Maller show coming up
next media, you'll hear from the helmet man again. Who
knows Stay tuned. I have a great sat fresh here
Tuesday night, Feel better. David Fast today, so long
