It eight sixty six nine eighty seven two five seventy
is a telephone. Number as we're here on This thursday
afternoon in Southern, california if you're just getting off work
driving around making deliveries wherever you're at eight six six
nine eighty seven two five. Seventy it's a good day
for The dodgers as they score three runs in the,
third then three more in the eighth as they come

(01:37):
back from a four to nothing, deficit a five to three,
deficit and they get the win six to five over
The New York. Mets they struggle though Against mets starting
pitching the entire. Series David, peterson the left hander for
The New York mets, today pitched really well seven. Innings
he'd give up three runs on seven hits while striking out,

(01:58):
six got a couple of double play balls that he
got help from his defriends. From As Rick monday, mentioned
what a stat The dodgers against The New York mets
starters in this four game. Series twenty four innings pitched
in the four games from The mets, starters twenty two

(02:18):
scoreless of the twenty four, innings twenty two scoreless innings
of the twenty four innings pitched by The New York
mets starters in this four games. Series The dodgers won
two of these four, games and they did it by
getting after the, bullpen and that's a really Good New york.
Bullpen but they got After Reed garrett, today who by the,

(02:40):
way had given up three earned runs the entire season
up until, today gave up three runs in two thirds
of an inning this afternoon against The, dodgers and The dodgers.
Comeback it all started With Mookie betts getting on base
with a, walk Then Will smith delivering a double on
the left field, line The dodgers moving runners. Over Taascar

(03:05):
hernandez a deep fly ball to, center Will smith moves
over from second to. Third they get some help on
a weird play in which Will smith got caught up
on a rundown between third and, home but a bad
throw From Brett batty one hopping the Catcher Francisco, alvarez
and quite, frankly Something i'd never seen before. Ever the

(03:27):
ball one hopped the Catcher, alvarez who should have made
a clean pick as a catcher goes off the glove
Of alvarez up into the glove of the Pitcher Read,
garrett who is backing Up alvarez and ready to be
there as the second guy in a rundown if. Necessary
the ball bounces Off alvarez up into the waiting arm

(03:50):
and glove Of Read. Garrett But Read garrett can't go
down and Tag Will, smith who is sliding into home
because the, Catcher Francis Scho, alvarez is standing in his.

Speaker 4 (04:02):
Way he is throwing a.

Speaker 5 (04:04):
Block like an offensive, lineman standing in the way between
the linebacker and the, quarterbacks almost like AN nba pick
with THE Nba finals getting ready to tip off tonight
In Oklahoma. City it was like a power forward setting
a pick so his guard couldn't get. Through it was
a wild, sequence bad, throw the catcher can't pick, it

(04:25):
and then the pitcher can't get to Tag Will smith
at home because the catcher's standing in his.

Speaker 4 (04:30):
WAY i retweeted.

Speaker 5 (04:31):
It it's a real interesting sequence that you don't see
very often or at all in. Baseball we saw it.
Today it helped out The, dodgers gave him the tie and.
Run and Then Michael, confordo, boy oh, boy As Michael
confordo taking his licks here On Dodger talk and he struggled.

(04:52):
Offensively there's no hiding. It, okay he has struggled in
his first three months in A dodger.

Speaker 4 (04:58):
Uniform but, man he delivered.

Speaker 5 (05:01):
Today his first hit with a runner in scoring position
Since march thirty, first and it was the first pitch
that he saw From Reed, garrett a cutter, away and
he doesn't roll over on. It he hits it to,
left a solid single to, left scoring the go ahead,
run and The dodgers cap off that eighth inning with

(05:24):
three runs to take a. Lead and Then Tanner, Scott,
oh what a series For Tanner. Scott Tanner scott had
a disastrous start to this four game series against The
New York.

Speaker 4 (05:37):
Mets you go back to that series.

Speaker 5 (05:39):
In cleveland in which he gave up four runs in
two thirds of an, inning a game in Which Clayton
kershaw was lined up to get the, win And Tanner
scott gives it up in that final game against The. Guardians,
Well Tanner scott in the series opener On monday, night
you remember ten, game gives up two, Runs dodgers lose.

Speaker 4 (06:07):
To The New York.

Speaker 5 (06:07):
Mets you remember that game On monday night Because Tanner
scott took it after the. Game it was a second
blown save in four, appearances but he gets back on
top of the Mound tuesday, night strikes out a pair
in The dodgers ten inning win against The New York,
mets and then his numbers called again. Today AND i

(06:30):
don't know about, you BUT i was around some people
who were, like, oh, No Tanner scott. Again he was.
Bad he was. Good this is gonna be another bad.
Outing what's what kind Of Tanner? Scott who which one
are we gonna get? Here And Tanner scott came out
and pitched very well in the ninth. Inning granted it

(06:52):
was against the bottom half of the lineup of The
New York, mets but still gets behind in the count
three and one To taylor and then punches him out
with back to back, pitches the final one of slider
for strike. Three baby comes up three, pitches strikes him

(07:14):
out looking back to back punch, outs gives up a
single To alvarez on a, slider but then it gets
A kunya to fly out to center to end the.
Game no damage, Done nothing to worry about, Here Just
Tanner scott back on the, bump striking out two in
the ninth, inning to pick up as eleven. Save i'm
interested to what all Those Tanner scott haters out there

(07:36):
are thinking now after he comes back with back to
back outings and pitches really well for The, dodgers picking
up the save this afternoon in a six'. Five win
eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy is
the number eight sixty six nine eighty seven two. Five
seventy we're gonna hear from The Manager dave roberts coming
up in just a couple. Of minutes we're also gonna

(07:57):
Hear From landon nack just. Here Shortly landon neck had
pitched really well the last. Time, out now certainly When
the dodgers scored eighteen runs and win the game eighteen
to two Over, the Yankees And landon neck's, last start
you can go out there and get away with some
pitches you may not get away with in any other.

Speaker 4 (08:18):
Tight ballgame you have the luxury.

Speaker 6 (08:20):
Of, that.

Speaker 5 (08:22):
Well go back to the last downing, before that six
innings Against The New york Mets At. City field didn't,
pitch bad gave up three runs over. Six innings comes
back Against the Yankees, on saturday gives up one run
the solo home Run To, aaron judge, six innings, six
strikeouts gets.

Speaker 4 (08:38):
The win Land and neck kind of.

Speaker 5 (08:41):
Felt like he was building, on something little momentum on
the mound in his last, few starts building off what
he did Against. The mets didn't get a lot of.
Run support they lost that Game At city field three.
To one so again didn't get much help behind him
Against the Mets Of. New york but then certainly gets
a ton of help in an eighteen to two win Against.

(09:02):
The yankees both times he, pitched well got, a win got.
A loss how would he come back out? Now today
really kind of building on that momentum a one two three,
first inning but then in the second gives up a
leadoff home Run. To pee alonzo gets into some trouble
with runners on base a long twenty seven pitch, second
inning back to back. Home runs in, The Third Brandon

(09:26):
Nemo starling marte, not good hits a batter two, batters
later has the bases loaded the sack fly another run,
comes across ends up giving up three runs in. The
third sixty eight pitches through three innings For landon nack
and in the, fourth inning after a one out walk
followed by. Another Walk dave roberts had seen enough eighty

(09:49):
six pitches For, landon nack struggled to get ahead in.
The count half of the twenty batters that, he faced
he got ahead oh one with. The strike eighty six
pitches forty six. For strikes. That's it. That's it struggled to,
get ahead struggled to punch out hitters when he had.

Speaker 4 (10:11):
Him, ahead finally.

Speaker 5 (10:11):
An account too many three, two counts too many three to,
one counts too many free Passes from Land and, knack
today a hit. By pitch he would finish the afternoon
walking just too. Many batters Land and knack, walked five
hit a batter, as well gave up three. Home runs

(10:33):
not a great Outing from Land.

Speaker 4 (10:34):
And knack he would get out of there in the.

Speaker 5 (10:37):
Fourth Inning jack dryer would take over and get out
of a jam in That fourth let's go back Out To.
Dodger stadium let's Hear from Land and knack postgame on
what happened today With.

Speaker 4 (10:47):
The knacker and then just when you kind of look
at today he started.

Speaker 7 (10:50):
Off excellent what do you think was allowing them to get,
to you especially just with the long ball and the power.

Speaker 8 (10:55):

a little bit out of whack there for. A MINUTE
but I think i have made too much talk on
just kind of like Trying to we're, Getting close we're,
feeling this, feeling THAT and i think it's just time
to just. Do it it's time to stop talking about
it and just go out there and.

Speaker 6 (11:39):
Do it when you're, a guying you're out of the
game and you watch the battle that this team hit
has like today another comeback win against a very, good
team what goes through? Your mind what do you see
with the result of?

Speaker 4 (11:51):
This, team yeah this this team is full.

Speaker 7 (11:53):
OF dogs, i mean you have to be the bullpen
to come in there and kind of just really hold it.
Right there and for, THE bats, i mean, you know
they can always. Swing in so we're now out of,
a game and so seeing them kind of go and
do that and kind of.

Speaker 4 (12:03):
Put like fight all the way back, right there it.
Was awesome, all Right There's.

Speaker 5 (12:07):
Landon neck he is. Absolutely right it is time for
him to just go out and. Do it he has
been given every opportunity. This season i'm not talking about.
Last year i'm talking about the present twenty twenty Five For.
Landon neck he has been given every opportunity to find

(12:27):
a spot in this rotation on a.

Speaker 4 (12:30):
Consistent basis and he's been given that opportunity because.

Speaker 5 (12:33):
Of injuries, Sasaki out tyler, Glassnow Out blake. Snell out,
on paper there wasn't any room For Old landon neck
in the inn when this. Season started they're Waiting For
clayton kershaw to. Get healthy, on paper they had enough,
starting pitching and it would be really hard for one

(12:56):
of these young arms who they relied upon a lot
last year that are.

Speaker 4 (13:00):
Still Healthy, Bobby Miller, Landon Nack.

Speaker 5 (13:03):
Justin robleski those three guys, in particular all three of
them have been given opportunities to make starts. To pitch
this was an outing now, eighth start tenth Appearance For
landon nac And it's. June fifth he's been given a lot,
of opportunity a lot of runway has been given to
In Particular landon nack to go out there and compete,

(13:28):
AND say i want to be a part of. This
rotation i'm a young arm a lot, of veterans a
lot of money being paid to, other pictures but those
dudes are Hurt and i'm going to come In and
i'm gonna be. The, Guy Hey gavin stone did it.
Last year opportunity because, of injuries took advantage of that
opportunity And the dodgers rode him every five days, to

(13:52):
victories to.

Speaker 4 (13:53):
Deep outings now.

Speaker 5 (13:55):
It cost him because he hurt, his shoulder but he
went out there and took full advantage of.

Speaker 4 (14:03):
The opportunity Land. AND neck i love. THE guy i
think he's got a good makeup about him on. THE mound.
I do.

Speaker 5 (14:11):
But you fall behind one to oh and you give
up a, home run you fall behind two to zero
in the count and you give up a home Run,
To marte you've got to. Be better you've got to
pound the. Strike zone you've got to, get ahead especially
against a team Like The New, york mets who are
a really good, hitting team and you now face him
twice in your last. Three starts this is a good.

(14:33):
Hitting Team With, Marte, Soto. ALONSO nimo i mean that's
four of the guys in the lineup For. THE mets
a Good hitting, mets team you cannot. Fall behind they
will make you pay and land. AND neck i love
to hear him finally say, enough enough, weight gain, weight, loss, velocity,
Mechanics enough i've got to. Be better i've got to

(14:56):
go out there and just. Do it, He's right he's.
Absolutely right we've gotten beyond the point of, all right
let's see what he.

Speaker 4 (15:03):
Can do, all right we'll nibble here on. Some pitches
oh he's still trying to figure.

Speaker 5 (15:07):
It, out, no, no no we're beyond. That NOW and
I think lennon that's got. THE makeup i think, he
DOES and i believe. IN him i just want him
to go out there and. Just, Attack attack go out
there and attack the. Strike zone you did it Against
the yankees when you're up nine, to nothing nine, to
one they go on. And win eighteen, to two be

(15:28):
that same picture and not afraid. To attack but you
gotta get ahead in. The count, and again how many
more opportunities are these young pitchers? Gonna get because, You
know i'm looking in the mirror here a, little BIT
and i Can See blake snell trending in the. Right
Direction tyler glass now says he's getting better and. Feeling

(15:50):
better the arm's not an, issue anymore the body's not.

Speaker 4 (15:53):

Speaker 8 (22:07):
AHEAD awesome i was at the game in the past,
four DAYS and i Gotta Say dave roberts is truly
the manager of the year for what he has to
put through every, single day making the right decisions and believing.

Speaker 11 (22:21):
In, his players Even having confordo in, that spot in
such a special spot and letting him pull through and
get that moment for, the team for him to put
his hand up there being proud of, that moment being
proud of. This team That's All dave roberts trust in
his teammates to know that his players are going to
do what it takes to get everything.

Speaker 8 (22:40):
Done Seam With tanner scott getting, that saves it just
Shows that dave has the manager.

Speaker 11 (22:47):
Jerial skills to truly prove that he could take this
team back To The. World.

Speaker 5 (22:50):
SERIES yeah i think If the dodgers get To The
world SERIES and i appreciate the Phone, call evan and
can win, another one it will be an even better
job Than What dave roberts did. Year ago and think
about the maneuvering that he had, to do his coaching
staff had, to do the front office really for, that
matter had, to do and all the ARMS that i.
BROUGHT in, I Mean Brent honeywell junior will always relive

(23:11):
in my mind on that twenty twenty. Four Team and
i'll never forget that Series in detroit last year in
Which the dodgers were desperate for. Starting pitching they were
getting hit by the injury. Bug again the bullpen was,
being taxed and it was going Into The all star
break and They Signed Brent honeywell junior and his turtleneck
to a.

Speaker 4 (23:31):
Deal and bring him in after he got dfa'd By.
THE pirates i didn't Know Who Brent honeywell.

Speaker 5 (23:35):
Junior was and he comes in and he eats up
innings for him in, that game and that role he
really adapted to the second half of, the season even
when he was on the, postseason roster a guy helping
out off the field in workouts. In preparation that last
year was just one of those Moves the dodgers went

(23:56):
out and Made Acquiring Ur, brent honeywell the front office
making the, right moves the, Coaching Staff, dave roberts knowing
when to, use them when to bring guys out of,
the bullpen and maneuvering that. Oral series this says at that,
same field, and Folks it's june and he's already having
to Maneuver Through, Jose Arenas, jack dryer who last year

(24:17):
burst onto the scene dealing with the Injuries To kirby
yates into the Shutdown Of, evan phillips and to not
have those Arms Like michael Kopek and Bruce, dar gradol
and to not have the starters Like A tyler glass
Now And.

Speaker 4 (24:32):
Blake snell it's a lot, of.

Speaker 5 (24:34):
Maneuvering folks it's a lot of piecing together twenty seven
outs every. Single game You Heard rick Monday and tim
never talk about it in. The pregame it talks about
in The First inuan landinak was out there and he
threw ten pitches to have a one two Three first they.
Said it They Need landon knack to go out there
and go deep in. A game you can't keep having

(24:56):
this groundhog day of a starting pitcher leaving the game
in the second third fourth inning and having your bullpen
have to pick up the pieces the rest of, the
way have to figure out how to get, eighteen outs twenty.
One outs it's just. Not sustainable talked about It In,
april may and now here we Are in june fifth

(25:20):
And the dodgers' bullpen today had to come in and
combine for five and two. Third innings they had to
do more work today than the starting.

Speaker 4 (25:29):
Pitcher did.

Speaker 10 (25:31):
It's not going to.

Speaker 5 (25:32):
Be sustainable that's why you're seeing a lot of names
when the bullpen gate opens And a dodger reliever runs
through and, you're, like oh who who?

Speaker 12 (25:43):
Is This.

Speaker 4 (25:45):
Julio Arena Or? Jose arena when did they Pick Up.

Speaker 5 (25:49):
Jose arena that kind of stuff happens more, and more
going back to again the last year Of The brent
honeywells of, the world and all of a sudden you're
looking at Your lutrav, you, know, okay Well Who's?

Speaker 4 (26:03):
Ryan lutos who he's pitching For.

Speaker 5 (26:06):
The dodge that's because of the necessity Here in june
already for guys to come in. And pitch Mark and
Mission va hos next up Here On dodger Talk efter
dodgers come from behind six to.

Speaker 4 (26:18):
Five win how you?

Speaker 12 (26:18):
Do, It mark Hey good, win today you set me,
Up perfectly like you KNEW what i was going to.
Talk about this is exactly what they did. Last year
this is. A strategy this is what they. Do right
they have guys that probably on other teams would be
pushing the injuries or coming. Back earlier they're still in.
First place they just go ahead and push it down
the line a, little bit get their. Guys healthy this

(26:41):
is a credit to, the organization to, the debt TO,
the Gm To. Dave roberts they do a fantastic job
managing this thing and they're going to be. Just fine
all this talk about, not sustainable all these. Bullpen innings
people aren't. Counting openers people aren't counting the fact that
they're bringing in guys that will never pitch when, It

(27:01):
matters and, you know people worry too much about that sort.
Of thing so you set me. Up perfectly.

Speaker 4 (27:06):
Thank you, all right thanks, A.

Speaker 5 (27:08):
LOT mark i think it is something to, think about
not necessarily. Panic about, but yes they've had a couple
of openers. Start games but when you go back and
look at what the lack of starting pitching has been
For this dodgers team at the numbers exactly in front,
of ME but i imagine they're near the bottom in
baseball as far as total innings pitch by starters. This

(27:30):
season at, one point going into the last, road Trip
the dodgers relievers had pitched more innings Than the.

Speaker 4 (27:38):
Dodgers, starters okay it's it's. Not sustainable.

Speaker 5 (27:42):
It's not and that's why You're Seeing luke trevino's of
the World And jose arenas of the world pitch, last
Year The brent honeywells of the world pitch, In Games
connor brogden pitch in games like he did a. Year, ago,
yeah yeah they're hopefully they get healthy and the arms
and names that you know and love and expect to

(28:05):
be out there are Pitching In. September october that's of course, the,
goal right. That's obvious that's what, you want that's where
you want to be set.

Speaker 4 (28:11):
Up for so you do have to.

Speaker 5 (28:13):
PACE yourself i understand that that you can't go out
there and have guys pitch, through soreness pitch through a
nagging Injury, In april May.

Speaker 4 (28:21):
And june that's.

Speaker 5 (28:22):
Not smart but at the, same time you do look
at where the number of starting pitchers hurt and bullpen
relievers that. Are heard it's a big number For, the
dodgers and they're gonna they're gonna not, only surpass they're
gonna fly through the number from a year ago of
pitchers used in. The season it's gonna be well north
of forty folks, eight, six six nine, eighty seven two. Five,

(28:46):
seven well go back out to the phones of The
second let's go back Out To. Dodger stadium The Manager
dave roberts earlier talking to the media after a six'
five Win.

Speaker 4 (28:53):
Over the, mets you know get the.

Speaker 10 (28:55):
Game winning hit guys certainly, cheering for him feeling he's
feeling the love and the support he's been, going through
IT and so i think that it's a huge, exhale,
for him hopefully, and you know you get on the
road and have a little, bit of confidence expect some
good things happen when, he's at bat and hopefully, it's
you know we can look back and say this is

(29:17):
a turning.

Speaker 9 (29:17):
Point for him now he talked about it just.

Speaker 3 (29:19):
It was yesterday some of those things you've been, seeing from,
him any comics. He's really close with, the results today
they infent he's even closer, TO locking.

Speaker 10 (29:28):
Something i think, so you know he's been working hard
and we haven't seen that line ball to left field in,
quite some time and that speaks to a direct path
through the ball hitting the bad and the hitting zone for.
A long time and so that was. A good THING
and so i hope that. We've UNLOCKED something but i

(29:49):
think most importantly there's a little there should be a little,
bit more, confidence you know when we take, the field.

Speaker 6 (29:53):
Tomorrow usually sort of, TURN corner, HERE.

Speaker 10 (29:57):
I, do i, do you know and even you see
in the swing in myth is the life, to the
fastball and that's something, where you know for the most part,
of this year there's been, some some contacts, some hard
contact and so the last couple outings have. Certainly BEEN
different so i kind of grew up in contact, For,
there third yeah that Was, that was yeah the babble

(30:18):
at home, plate not really, But you know andy fought
to put the. Ball IN play but i do think that,
that eighth inning there's a lot of really, good at
Bats and certainly will's at Bat and even, tao who's,
struggling but, still you know got willed to second, or
third base and.

Speaker 7 (30:34):
So we.

Speaker 10 (30:34):
Found. A way today it, was bleak early but we persevered,
And you know, Urina stepped up. Jack stepped up vessia
came in and did. A nice job so and we.
Finished the, TANNER so overall. I wasn't pretty it wasn't
how we kind. Of scripted it but we'll take the
home winning record at home during this homestand and. Split,

(30:59):
that series yeah.

Speaker 5 (31:00):
It's not pretty but you take the win because you
play one hundred and sixty, two of them and you
put that one in. The win column because when everybody
goes back to look at this season in the, game
by game, they're, gonna say oh a Win on a
Thursday Afternoon at dodger Stadium Against The, new york mets
a six' five victory stop necessarily how. You got the
win it's as important that. You got The win and

(31:20):
the dodgers. Did exactly that Today after falling, behind ford
to nothing they come back with, three in the third
making a, four to three game hang around as five
to three going to the bottom, of the eighth Inning
And Then the dodgers mookie bets leads. Off The inning
again mookie betts was two for two. With, two walks
today okay. It doesn't look sexy.

Speaker 4 (31:37):
He doesn't hit the.

Speaker 5 (31:37):
Game Winning home run MOOKIE bets so at rbi double
in the third he, started the scoring then and then
he draws a lead off walk in the eighth to start.
The Eighth Inning rally so mookie betts started it off
both innings that you put up three runs. In THE
eighth inning The Rbi double From Will smith scored, mookie

(32:00):
bets from First and then the dodgers. With Two MORE
runs michael kinforto's rbi single to left field gave him.
The six five lead He Mentioned. The bullpen jack dryer
two innings he came in and walked the first battery
faced bases loaded one, out and, you thought oh no
it's a. Four to Nothing game land and knack couldn't get,

(32:20):

Baseball Cards even though tops series two didn't put him,
