Speaker 2 (00:26):
A disappointing day for the Dodgers and Boston a game
in Wedge. They led, fell behind, then couldn't get that
big hit they needed late in this one, and they
lose this series Infinway Park this weekend. They lose the
finale today four to three. Tim Kate's with you here
for the next thirty minutes on Dodger Talk. Eight sixty
(00:47):
six nine eight seven two five seventy eight six six
two five seventy is the number jump on board. Let's
talk some Dodger baseball, especially after a disappointing day in
which the Dodgers today saw Dustin May go head to
with Walker Bueler. Neither pitcher was great. Both pitched okay.
Dustin May a little rocky in the first inn. He
(01:09):
hit the first batter that he faced, and then that
would come back and bite him. As Trevor Story had
a sack fly in the first Dodgers down one to nothing.
After the Dodgers tied the game in the third on
a basis loaded walk that Walker Buehler gave up, he
started to fall apart a little bit in the third,
but the Dodgers just get one run off of Walker Buehler.
It tied the game In won and it kind of
felt like Dustin May was settled in and whatever was
(01:33):
getting to him. The first two innings, thirty one pitches
had traffic on the base bass. He comes back in
the third inning after Freddie Freeman's bases loaded walk tied.
They came in one and Dustin May was dialed in,
attacking the zone, getting swinging missus on the sweeper, the sinker,
he was getting swinging missus. He was hitting mid to
up or nineties. He struck out the side in the third.
(01:54):
In the top half of the fourth inning, the Dodgers
scored a couple of runs Conford Oh home run bets RBIs.
Dustin May was working with a three to one lead,
comes back in the bottom of the fourth strikes had
two to three batters that he faced. He struck out
five of six hitters in the third and fourth inning,
he was in a good comfortable rhythm on the mound.
(02:16):
And then in the fifth inning, after a one out single,
Roman Anthony hits a ball off the Green Monster misplayed
in the outfield. Anthony gets a triple out of it,
run scores, and then the very next pitch, Alex Bregman
hits a two run home run. It could change that
quick in a game, especially at Fenway Park with the
(02:36):
Green Monster and left and I know it's tough to
play in Boston with that Green Monster, and for players
that are there only a few games for a weekend series,
it's tough to get used to it. The ball can
bounce different angles. It's the Green Monster. It's been that
way for one hundred years. But the way the ball
was hit off of Roman Anthony's bat today and Michael
(02:58):
Confordo went back on it turned around on the dirt
of the warning track and the ball then bounced over
his head back towards the infield.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
Didn't play it right off the wall.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
That was the first mistake, and then the second mistake
was the infielder. Usually the shortstop has to then back
up a ball off the wall because it's so short
there in left field, it'll bounce back towards the infield.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
You and Essence are the backup, and Mookie wasn't there.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
He was sort of in no man's land, and him
and Michael Conforto are chasing the ball as it's rolling
down the line and Roman Anthony slides in with a
RBI triple. Dustin May comes back in the first pitch,
a sweeper absolutely misses over the heart of the plate
and Alex Bregman crushes it for a two run home run.
(03:46):
I would have liked to have seen him attack Alex Bregman,
throw him a sinker on the outside, throw them something,
see if he can pop it up infield. Was in
get a ground ball out, keep Anthony at third. Instead,
it's gone over the Green Monster for a two run
home run. And just like that, as good as Dustin
May had looked getting back into this game, it fell
(04:09):
apart for him. Now it's only a four to three game.
It's not like the Red Sox exploded for eight runs.
It's a blowout.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
Dodgers just want to get out of Boston as quick
as possible.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Dodgers had opportunities in the six they come right back
leadoff double by Miguel Rojas turns the lineup over for
Otani and Betts and tay Oscar who failed to get
a hit and drive in Rojas that would have tied
the game.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
Top of the lineup served on a platter.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Let's go get after the Red Sox bullpen couldn't do it.
Seventh inning had traffic on the base bass. Eighth inning
a golden opportunity. It was a great opportunity in the
six with the leadoff double. How about a walk to
Rojas and a walk to Bets. You're nine to one
hitters in the eighth inning or all this. Chatman has
(04:57):
to come out of the game. But Otani flies out
and then Tae Oscar lines into a double play and
he has on Kim, who is the pinch runner for Rojas,
gets doubled up at second base to end the Indian
That can't happen. Base running mistakes cannot happen, and they
get magnified in a game like this, playing the ball
(05:18):
off the wall in left field incorrectly and it gets
over your head and there's not a backup infield.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
They're there to help you out. Mistakes hurt you.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Lead off hit by pitch in the first inning lead
off walks. Most of the time they come back to
hurt you. The Dodgers, though thirteen runners left on base,
one for eleven with runners in scoring position today, they
had opportunities. They had great opportunities to get back into
(05:49):
this game, if not put up a crooked number and
get out of there with the win. The Dodgers bullpen
did their job. Jack Dryer one, two, three, six kept
it at a four to three game. Chestin Robleski pitched
the seventh in the eighth inning, got some help with
a double play to in the eighth, but put up
zeros to keep.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
It at a four to three game.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
And twice, not once, but twice, the Dodgers top of
the lineup, BET's Otani Taoscar came up the sixth and
the eighth inning, came up with a runner at second
base and a chance to tie the game, and they
failed to get a big hit. Part of this is
(06:31):
on the top of the lineup for failing to come through.
I know Mookie delivered with an RBI single in the fourth,
but the top of the lineup twice had opportunities drive
the ball, hit the ball on the other side of
the field to move a runner over and just couldn't
get a hit, couldn't put the.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
Ball in play.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Then you get the defense, the base running theirs last night,
three of them today getting picked off at second base,
doubled up on the line drive, the pitching, when you
make mistakes. All this adds up, and they add up
to losses most of the time. And that's what's plagued
this Dodgers team the month of July. That's why they
(07:12):
are under five hundred in the month of July, with
just a few more games to go before we flipped
the calendar to August.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
The Padres won today. Dodgers lead down to four games
in the NL West.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Now, all that being said, Dodger fans, the Dodgers still
look at Thursday, along with the rest of baseball and
the trade deadline, with the possibilities of helping out this roster.
And it's I almost laugh when I said it. And
I was talking to somebody yesterday about it, and they said,
what do you mean, help out this roster? I said,
(07:46):
they need some help, another bat, some more bullpen help.
And the person laughed at me and said, this roster's
loaded already. Didn't they go and get bullpen help in
the offseason. Don't they already have MVP and All Stars everywhere?
What do you mean goot more help? Well, the players
the Dodgers went out and got this past offseason, I'm
(08:08):
just gonna name three of them. Michael Confordo, Tanner Scott,
Kirby Yates left field left handed hitter and Michael Conforto
a left handed reliever and a right handed lever. And Tanner,
Scott and Kirby Yates to proven, proven closers with a
(08:30):
ton of saves and experience at the back end of games.
All three were off season moves to phill holes, and
they were made in the offseason Dodger fans, so the
Dodgers didn't have to get to the trade deadline here
at the end of July and start having to make
(08:51):
more moves and overpay to go get a rental player
or overpay to go get a player with multiple years
left before they become a free agent. They were trying
to prevent this by signing a Michael Conforto for depth
in the outfield, and they added to arguably two of
the best relievers in free agency. They added to this
(09:14):
bullpen in Tanner Scott and Kirby Yates. The moves were
made seven months ago. But here we are the trade
deadline on Thursday at three o'clock Pacific, and the Dodgers
find themselves looking at a roster that may need another arm,
a roster that probably needs another bat, if not a
(09:38):
starter in left field, but another bat off the bench.
Let's look at the last couple of days, no Key
k Hernandez off the bench or starting in a game.
I mean, I love Key k but I think I
think his value has gone up even more realizing he's
not there to pinch hit late in the game, to
play outfield, to be a spark as a right handed bat.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
Dodgers just don't have that.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
They got Hay Sung Kim to come off the bench,
Miguel Rojas when he's not starting to come off the bench.
I mean, there's not a lot of depth there as
far as right handed bats off the bench that can
help out this Dodgers team. That could be a big
need they have to address here at the trade deadline. Now,
(10:26):
the one thing they won't have to address is starting pitching.
Dave Roberts alluded to it today in the pregame with
Blake Snell coming off the injured list in Tampa, and
all signs point to him starting on Friday in Tampa
against the Rays. That's what it's looking like right now.
(10:46):
Made a final start yesterday in TRIPLEA Oklahoma City. It
is all signs pointing to him starting Friday in Tampa.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
Now, when he returns to this rotation, now the.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
Dodgers will have a plethora of starters, and Dave Roberts
said it, they will go to a six man rotation
show Hey Otani, Clayton Kershaw, Tyler Glass, now, Blake Snell,
Yoshi Yamamoto, and Dustin May and with show Hey Otani,
(11:20):
Dave Roberts alluded to it, he will pitch this Wednesday
and the following Wednesday because the Dodgers have off days
behind it, and that way he's a chance to get
some rest as a two way player hitter and a pitcher.
That makes sense. It absolutely makes sense. How you line
it up with Otani, he is your two way player.
Line him up with an off day so he can
(11:41):
get that rest day the day afterwards makes one hundred
percent sense. So now you've got six starters in the
rotation and that's not even including a Justin Robleski. What
about Immitt Shehan? Where does he fit into this Jack
Tryer's been great out of the bullpen. He's solidified a
(12:03):
roll down there, benk Asparius, bullpen guy. Now the Dodgers
are now getting back arms and this rotation now is
a six man rotation beginning at the end of this
road trip.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
When Tyler Glass now comes off the injured list, that is.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
One positive you can look at for the Dodgers with
all these injuries and say, who made it through these
injuries and now that they're getting back healthy, they are
primed and ready to go. Getting Tyler Glass now back
the last couple starts has been a shot in the arm, no,
no pun intended to help out this Dodgers team. You
(12:43):
get back now Blake Snell healthy on Friday.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
I know it's not.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
A trade deadline deal, but you could look at it as, yeah,
new blood in that Dodger's club.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
With Blake Snell back on the mound. It's been months
since he's pitched.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
It is almost like making a trade getting Blake Snell
back into this rotation on Friday, a fresh arm to
go along with the other five starters. And I'm not
even including Immit Shehan as one of those five starters.
So now Dodgers looking at the trade deadline, don't he's
starting pitching. Is it gonna be an arm or is
(13:28):
it gonna be another bat eight six six nine, eight
seven two five seventy And before we get to the phones,
David Vasse brought the name Michael Tackman, who is an outfielder,
a left handed hitting outfielder with the Chicago White Sox.
He is an interesting name that could fit into this
Dodger team and the outfield. Harrison Bader also a name
(13:54):
that Bob Nightingale of the USA Today has thrown out
there as a possibility for the Dodgers in left field.
We just saw Harrison Bader with the Minnesota Twins. Right
handed hitting left fielder thirty one years old, can get
on base.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
Got a little bit of pop. Nothing's gonna cost.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
You probably the world to go get not gonna cost
you the farm. Not gonna cost you a lot of
top prospects to go out there and get a Harrison
Bater or Michael Topman, that's for sure. There's the kind
of level of moves I think the Dodgers.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
If they make one or two. Those are the kind
of moves you're gonna see from the Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
I'm pretty confident in thinking then they're not gonna trade
away top prospects to go out and get the top
tier classes closers of the world with service time still available,
and get it cost you three or four prospects to
get one guy. You're most likely looking at a mid level.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
Trade.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
It's the best way to put it. And Andrew Freeman's
been really good at those. Let's think back to a
year ago. Dodgers went out and got a trade in
a three way deal with the Cardinals and the Detroit Tigers,
and in the White Sox. You know, you go out
and you get a Jack Flaherty. Okay, you go out
and get a Michael Kopek. They went out and got
a guy named Tommy Edmond, who a lot of Dodger
(15:25):
fans were quick to get on their phones and google
Tommy Edmond to find out who is he and what
has he done? And he was hurt at the time
this time last year when the Dodgers went out and
got him in the trade. So I trust Andrew Freeman
that they'll go out and make the necessary moves that
they feel could help out this roster if they feel
(15:47):
there's a move to be made. I look at the
minor leagues right now. If you're looking for more bullpen help,
another arm, Bobby Miller. It was brought up yesterday and
reported that Bobby Miller's being moved to the bull in
Triple A Oklahoma City. He's having trouble five, six, seven
innings in his starts, but there's no doubting that Bobby
(16:09):
Miller's stuff is really good in short spurts. Maybe he's
better suited at the major league level as a reliever,
as a one inning guy that can go out there
and get you three outs and get you to your
back end. Reliever Jack Dryer, Justin Robleski, my guy, Ben Casparius.
(16:30):
They weren't relievers that were brought up to the major
league levels and just continue to be relievers. These were
all pitchers who were starters in the minor leagues. I
cannot emphasize them in this enough. They were starters and
probably would like to be starters. But their roles at
the major league level with the Dodgers are as relievers, openers,
(16:51):
bullpen relievers, and that's the job they have taken on,
and I think Bobby Miller could be in that line
as well. To go out there and get a couple
at bats against somebody in the seventh or eighth inning,
come out of the bullpen and get it out when
you need to with runners on base and facing a
right handed hitter.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
I think that could work.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
So maybe there's not a need to go out there
and get another arm at the trade deadline when you're
adding back a Blake Snell, Emit she And maybe now
becomes a bullpen arm that you can rely on. Maybe
Dustin May is out of the rotation and becomes the
seventh or eighth inning guy and Emit Shean takes his
spot in the rotation. That could very well happen. So
(17:33):
you're adding maybe a Bobby Miller to the back end
of the bullpen. You're adding a she and or a
Dustin May. There's two arms right there. You don't need
to make a trade for. You know the guys, you
know what they can do, and you're pretty confident they
can go out there and get you a couple outs
or at least in any of the work in a game.
Don't need to make a trade. So maybe outfield right
handed bat is the way the Dodgers are looking. Eight
(17:53):
six six nine eighty seven two five seventy. We'll take
a quick time out, we'll come back and we'll get
to your phone calls. Eight six six nine eighty seven
two five to seventy. Dodgers lose in Boston, an ugly loss,
had opportunity after opportunity and could not get that hit
they needed in the last four innings with runners of
the scoring position. As the Red Sox come back and
win in four to three, your phone calls when we
(18:15):
come back.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
Dodger fans, the trade deadlines Thursday.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
Either they're gonna make this team and roster better or
they're gonna go for with what they have. Eight sixty

They fall to the Red Sox by a final of
four to three. Brennan Bernardino out of Valencia High School
(19:35):
against the win, He's now four and two. Dustin Megan's
tag with the loss. As the Dodgers chased Walker Bueller
in the fifth inning, they had opportunity after opportunity and
just could not get to him or the Red Sox
bullpen despite thirteen runners left on base, one for eleven
with runners in scoring position. Let's go out to the
(19:55):
phones Ken Newport Beach. Just first up here on Dodger Talk.
Speaker 6 (19:59):
How you doing, hey, Kim? It is a nice day
to day. It was a few days. I didn't take
a ride down the beach because it was a game
game that I wanted to watch it, and I had
to watch it with the no volleybaond because there's somebody
that was doing the announcing that another paper. Anyway, they're
eight and thirteen in the month July, and three of
(20:20):
those wins were against one of the worst teams in baseball,
the White Sox. They're not beating the good teams, and
that's a problem, and there are issues. They're going to
have to get another hitter. They're not getting anything out
of third base. I'm not getting much out of shortstop,
and I don't know.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
Where did they go though. Don't you said they need
another bat.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
I mean, if you're going for a Harrison Bader or
Michael Toking, that's great, But what are you expecting out
of those guys instant power, twenty home runs? You know,
them to carry this lineup full of MVPs and drag
them through August and September. Whatever they bring in, as
far as another bat can has to be as a
role player, an additional bat. It can't be somebody that's
(21:04):
going to come in here and be that whorehes the
layer or be that Byron Buxton and just come in
in instant power.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
They don't. They just they don't have the room.
Speaker 6 (21:14):
Yeah, I agree. It's just you see what happens when
there's runners in scoring position. They're not getting the runs over.
They need somebody who's not thinking about the home runs.
And you know, Tony's great, but he's also got one
hundred and twenty nine strikeouts. Need somebody that's going to
hit the ball the opposite field. If you've got a
man on secund or a man on third, they're not
(21:34):
getting those over. Lot of how many people are getting
thrown out of third base or second base? We've got
we've got some issues. I'm not sure where it's coming from.
Whether it's the coaches or the team is just not
paying attention.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
I don't know either. Ken, I appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
I'm I'm frustrated with the the little things you can
clean up. It's the mental part of the game, the
fundamentals that you can clean up.
Speaker 3 (21:58):
And if you clean up, you give yourself a chance
to win.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
And when you got talent like the Dodgers, you're gonna
win two out of three games in a series.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
You should win three.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
Games out of a four in every single series, assuming
you play clean baseball. That means running the bases right,
being smart on the base pass, not getting doubled up
at second base on a line drive, not trying to
extend a double to a triple and getting gunned down.
(22:28):
Playing sound defense, and sound defense is making the smart
throw on a basin and not trying to throw a
guy out a home and letting the guy who just
singled advanced to second and to get into scoring position.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
That's not smart.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Going to the Green Monster and for three games looking
like a team that has no clue what's gonna happen
with the ball off the Green Monster. I mean, I
know it takes weird bounces, it's a tricky place to play,
but you gotta understand you can't you're gonna have the
I mean if I can see it in the hop
(23:02):
and the way to play it off the wall, and
having a backup infield there to help you out. These
are little things that if you do right, We're not
talking about them. There's just part of the game. It's
just something that should be done. It's expected to be
done as big league ballplayers. But when you don't do
that and you on top of it, you're a pitcher
and you walk the lead off guy constantly, and you
(23:24):
come in as a bullpen and you're walking guys like
we saw the Dodgers' bullpen do. And you come in,
you hit the first batter of the game and he
comes around to score in the first inning for the
Red Sox. These little things you have to clean up
or you're not gonna be a championship team. The Dodgers
did that last year. And then you get home runs
from Otani and you got MVPs driving in runs and
(23:47):
you start winning games, but you're not gonna win games
or series even how talented this Dodger team is, if
they don't clean it up and they don't start playing
better baseball fundamentally. And it's it's kind of frustrating to
have to say that that with this experience and this
talent and this group of guys, that they don't play
(24:07):
clean baseball. And this even it gets extended to infield
and their throws to first base, and how many times
have we seen Freddie Freeman make a pick at first
How many times have we seen Freddie Freeman bail out
a third baseman, a shortstop, a second baseman on a
(24:29):
bad throw that he's got to get down and make
an unbelievable pick, like he's a witch over there with
the glove. It happens every game and it kind of
gets just, oh, great play by Freddie Freeman. Uh, he
gets the final out of the ending, and what a pick.
That's an unbelievable play that just saved another run. But
it's just a o hum another play by Freddie because
(24:52):
he has to constantly make him. I can't remember I,
honestly having watched the game of baseball growing up, playing it,
watching minor league baseball, college baseball, major league baseball. I
cannot remember a first baseman over the last two three years,
(25:15):
maybe at least two seasons now having to make more
picks at first base on bad throws from the infield
than Freddie Freeman's had to. And the fact that he
didn't win a Gold Glove last year is a shame.
He'd better be a finalist, if not win a Gold
Glove this year for what he's doing at first base.
(25:36):
He is lipstick on what is a lot of times
a ugly infield defensively, and he makes it look good
with his picks. Again, that's just an extension of the
base running, the outfield play, bad throws, pitchers coming out
walking guys, relievers coming in walking the bases loaded. This
(25:59):
can't have You can't come in as a reliever like
they did in the last homestand and back to back
games two different guys and walk the bases loaded.
Speaker 3 (26:08):
Cannot happen. You have to play clean baseball.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
You're a pin shrunner at second base on the line,
drive to the second baseman.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
Your first step has got to be back.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
You've got to get back to the back and not
get doubled up like Haysan Kim did today.
Speaker 3 (26:22):
Cannot happen. Cannot happen.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
That's just one example of several today of the Dodgers
not playing clean baseball, and it hurt him. Hit by
pitching the first inning, hurt them. The defense with the
green Monster and left field. Okay again, I know it's
tough in left field. I'm getting text and tweets. So
it's hard to play at Finway Park. Okay, I get it,
But you don't play it right and the guy gets
(26:45):
a triple out of it, scores a run, and then
the next battery it's a two run home run. Little
things add up. The mistakes will hurt you. It's a
difference between the good teams and the bad teams all
the time. Why are the White Sox always bad? Why
are teams like that always bad? Because they make mistakes,
(27:06):
they throw the ball away, They don't have pitching they
can get hitters out, they walk guys, they don't have
the offense. Well, look in the mirror. The Dodgers are
sub five hundred and the month of July. Look in
the mirror. The Dodgers don't play great defense right now.
Look in the mirror, walking too many pincher walking too
many hitters. The Dodgers have become that and they need
(27:30):
to turn it around. They need to get back to
what they did so good to start the season and
what they did really good all of last year and
helped win a World Series because of it.
Speaker 3 (27:44):
It's not a secret.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
You can sit and listen and watch to a Dodger
game and you can see the difference and a team
that plays clean, a team that goes out there and
is playing at a high level, and a team that's
not and the team is making stakes and the team
that's starting to see mistakes pile up, and that means
losses are starting to pile up, the leading the divisions
(28:07):
down to four. That's it down to four. As the
Padres won today and the Dodgers lost, having now dropped
two or three on this road trip, and they go
to Cincinnati, they're gonna get a hungry Reds team that
one today and beat the Tampa Bay Rays.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
Let's go to Will in Long Beach. Thanks for being patient?
How you knowing?
Speaker 4 (28:23):
Will?
Speaker 3 (28:27):
Will go ahead? Will go ahead? Your will?
Speaker 2 (28:31):
You're gone, Rick, sam Pedro, You're next up here on
Dodger Talk.
Speaker 3 (28:35):
How you doing Rick?
Speaker 7 (28:37):
Great? Tim?
Speaker 8 (28:38):
I agree with everything you say. I don't think we
should give up a lot of treasure to get more pitching,
even though I mean the bullpen has cossed to eight
or nine games this year. The fact is we have
about the same number of wins this year as we
had last year.
Speaker 7 (28:50):
At this time.
Speaker 8 (28:51):
They just got to clean it up. Yep, it's just
a hot mess. They got to clean it up. They
got to play smart, and they have to have some
impactful at bats. Conforto's been hitting the crap out of
the ball, but he's a dead poll hitter, and so
they just got to clean it all up. But I
wouldn't go out and make a bunch of trades. At
this point, I don't think that's gonna really do anything.
Especially when you play bad baseball and you run yourself
(29:14):
out of any you got to clean it up.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
I hear Harrison Bader's name, I hear Michael Tokman's name,
and I just, Okay, that's great.
Speaker 3 (29:20):
Those are two names.
Speaker 8 (29:22):
You know.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
It doesn't I don't look at those one of those
guys and that go Wow, that is what they need.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
That is the hole that is gonna be filled with
Harrison Bader.
Speaker 3 (29:31):
I just I don't feel that way.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
I mean, I thought they can they can patch together
guys in left field, move the outfield around.
Speaker 3 (29:37):
I mean, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
Maybe we put Mookie in right field, we can move
to Oscar to the left. That would solve a problem
in the outfield. But I'm just throwing that out there.
Speaker 3 (29:45):
But who am I?
Speaker 7 (29:46):
Right?
Speaker 8 (29:48):
Yeah, I agree with it, all.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
Right, Rick. I appreciate the phone call Steven diving Bar.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
Next up here on Dodger Talk, Dodgers lose to the
Red Sox four to three. They drop two of three
at Fenway Park this series. As ahead to Cincinnati, how
you doing.
Speaker 4 (30:01):
Steve, I'm doing fantastic, and I'll tell you why. I'm
first off better hearing you then the cry baby Davids say.
But with all that, moving next pitching right on with that.
I've always thought that they can take some of these
guys that have been starting that are good for about
three or four innings and they give it up. Moving
(30:21):
him moved him into the bullpen, either for the long
guy or coming closes, like in the seventh inning when
he started a tawny he went three innings and then
they brought in Dustin May. He was good for four innings. Yeah,
they don't need to go to six six man rotation.
I guy gets hurt, he pulled one of these starters
(30:43):
that are a bullpen back out of the mind on
the start it again, and that's that'll help solve the
bullpen situations because some of the guys that are coming
in for sure relief and giving it up, they're giving
it up. And one thing Roberts did last year that
he wasn't counting on a closer per se. He was
rotating guys in and out. Brian now scottson not doing
(31:05):
the job, bring different guys in to close it out.
Speaker 7 (31:08):
You could do that.
Speaker 3 (31:08):
Yeah, I think that's what we're seeing.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
Steve and I appreciated Alex Vesia's roles increased. You saw
Justin Robleski and Jack Dryer come out today, two left handers,
and we're dealing. You know, a hit by pitch, didn't
bother them, got out of the inning.
Speaker 3 (31:21):
A walk or a single.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
With one out in the eighth, Justin Robleski gets a
double play to get out of it, pitches himself out
of it very nicely.
Speaker 3 (31:29):
I like the six man rotation.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
I like Yamamoto, Kershaw, Otani, Blake Snell, Tyler Glass. Now
and I'm gonna go, Immit Shean, I'm gonna move the
cards around a little bit. I thought, Immit Sheen pitched
well the other night in Boston. I'd I'd give Immate
Sheen the ball here. Moving forward, Dustin May piggybacked Otani.
(31:52):
His last outing before today, pitched almost five Indians, was
four and change shut out baseball.
Speaker 3 (32:00):
I thought he was really good.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
He could come in, in my opinion, to be a
long reliever if you needed, but also with that sweeper
in that fastball for one, two, three batters if you
need an out in the seventh or eighth inning if
you need to get out of a jam with you know,
one out in the eighth inning, if you need a
clean inning from Dustin May, I think he's the guy
to do it because he's different. He's a lengthy guy
(32:23):
who can drop the arm slot down a little bit
and look different than the pitcher's been out there beforehand.
But you get Dustin May out there for five, six,
seven innings. Second time around against Alex Bregmany Tagna for
a two run home run, Roman Anthony hit a ball
off the wall, almost got out instead.
Speaker 3 (32:39):
It's an RBI triple.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
Maybe the situation right now, with so many starters, it's
better fit to have Emmitt Sheen in the rotation and
Dustin May long relief and a guy who can pitch
in a series, deep in a game when you need
him to get some outs.
Speaker 3 (33:00):
This is my personal opinion.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
I think the stuff is there for Dustin May, but
if we need it in short spurts a Bobby Miller
short spurts an inning, a batter, a two batters.
Speaker 3 (33:11):
I love that idea.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
I think it works, and I think they would buy
into it because a guy like Dustin May is going
into his free agent year. He wants to show that
he could pitch. He's proven that he could be a starter.
But I think he would only help himself out to
show that he's diverse and able to pitch out of
the bullpen as well. I'm watching him pitch the Bregman
of the third and the replay right now on a
three to two pitch, just through a nasty, nasty fastball
(33:34):
that had a little run on it and struck him out.
Looking he's got the stuff. Maybe shorter spurts of dustin
May is the way to go. Marshall in mid City
is here on Dodge Talk on an FI seventy.
Speaker 3 (33:45):
How you do it, Marshall, I'm doing well.
Speaker 7 (33:48):
Thanks.
Speaker 9 (33:48):
I just I agree with almost everything you said. I
just we had a formula that won us the World
Series last year and we're strained from it. You know,
our bullpen was excellent. It got us through a bunch
of close series against the Padres and the Mets, and
Dave tends to pick defensive players over just bats. It
doesn't feel like we're doing that anymore. I mean, the
outfield deal that we're fielding day to day is below
(34:12):
average average to below average, So you know, we're not
gonna win tight series. You don't want to take this
team into the playoffs and get into tight series when
you can't rely on them to play fundamental baseball.
Speaker 2 (34:24):
No, you're right, You're right. I'm glad you agree with me, Marshall.
I appreciated you know. I'm I'm not gonna panic and
pull the rip cord and say Mookie's got to go
back to right field.
Speaker 3 (34:34):
I'm not gonna pull that card right now.
Speaker 2 (34:36):
But man, in my mind, to see the trade deadline
coming up, the todd just don't.
Speaker 3 (34:42):
Need to go out get an outfielder.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
If they just shuffle the deck, so to speak, with
the guys they have, maybe move somebody back out to
the outfield, move the right fielder over to the left field.
Speaker 3 (34:51):
That solves your outfield situation.
Speaker 2 (34:53):
Then when Max Munsey, who's gonna be coming back here
sooner rather than later, he's in Arizona getting some wings
in right now while the Dodgers are on the road.
If he can come back on the next homestand the
next couple of weeks, let's say back at every day.
Speaker 3 (35:07):
At third base. That allows Tommy Evam to play shortstop.
Speaker 2 (35:12):
That allows Miguel Rojas to play shortstop mcgil Rojas to
play some more second base. With Kim there, it allows
more opportunity to get those guys defensively on the left
side of the infield, maybe better situated than what you
got right now.
Speaker 3 (35:27):
I'm just saying.
Speaker 2 (35:28):
And again, defense is a big part of baseball, and
the Dodgers defensively round out just.
Speaker 3 (35:33):
Not playing clean. And you add that again with base running.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
You add that with pitchers making mistakes with too many walks,
hitting guys, those guys coming around and scoring, and that's
not good.
Speaker 3 (35:46):
And again it's just what we've.
Speaker 2 (35:47):
Seen out of this Dodger team too much here in
the month of July especially. That's why they are a
sub five hundred team here in this month of July.
Don in the city of Industry, He's got the deepest
pipes in sports talk radio.
Speaker 7 (35:58):
HOI you doing, Don, Tim Kate's great when I hear
your voice. Dodgers need some of your fire, bro, I mean,
you're right on the money and then some.
Speaker 2 (36:07):
I would gladly go to that clubhouse and start turning
over tables if I needed to, Don.
Speaker 3 (36:12):
Oh, I don't think it would prove anything.
Speaker 2 (36:14):
I think I'd have twenty six guys and a coaching
staff and a manager look at me.
Speaker 3 (36:18):
Like, what is this idiot doing? But if they want
me to all do.
Speaker 7 (36:22):
It, hey, maybe that's it. You need to need to
put your foot through a door and have somebody on
the other side to be sure to push your foot
back out. But you know, this reminds me. There was
this crazy movie way back in the day. I think
it was called something like Moonlight. I only saw the trailer,
but that was the best part probably in the movie,
where it's Share and some younger guy I think it
was Nicholas Cage or something. He's acting stupid and she
(36:44):
like slaps him right in the face and goes, snap
out of it. That's what the Dodgers need to do.
And he's someone to collectively slap them in the face
and say snap out of it, because that's basically it.
Everybody's laughing at us, you know how it is. It's like, oh, Dodgers,
with all your money and all your playful you know,
someone used to get mad man, We're better than this.
(37:05):
We're supposed to be elite, need to act like it.
There was this great military commander. He took over this
elite unit, Racondo and guys were getting killed, and he said, no,
this stops. Now we're supposed to be elite. He said,
from now on, I'm gonna say hardcore Ricondo, and you're
gonna say no freaking slack. And that's what we need now,
(37:25):
hardcore Dodgers, no freaking slack.
Speaker 8 (37:28):
Love it.
Speaker 7 (37:28):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (37:29):
Don, all right, appreciate that Moonstruck was the movie we're
talking about. Was Sharon Nicholas Cage way back in the
mid eighties.
Speaker 7 (37:36):
I believe is that.
Speaker 2 (37:37):
When I came out, so a nice Moonstruck reference there
by Don in the City of Industry. That's the That's
a first. That is honestly a first, a Moonstruck analogy
and reference.
Speaker 3 (37:48):
All right, let's wrap things up.
Speaker 2 (37:50):
I don't know who's more frustrated with the way the
Dodgers played today and the way the Dodgers have been
playing in the month of July, me or Isabelle and
Anaheim is Wow, that was a.
Speaker 3 (38:01):
Rough one today.
Speaker 10 (38:03):
Yeah, and this is what I just guys check up
to David. He's not a cry baby. He's maybe maybe
if you guys will listen to him more. He's very honest,
rising me nuts, but they get they they's get to
the Super Dodgers right now, because we get to saying.
(38:23):
I just can't say anything embedded. I am so frustrated.
There was no reason to lose this kame today. You
know what, if they can, if they want to win
a championship, they need to snap out of it. I
agree everything you said, Tim, I don't know what else
(38:44):
to say. This team is so first rating.
Speaker 3 (38:47):
I get it.
Speaker 2 (38:48):
You're frustrated. I'm frustrated. Dodger fans are frustrated. Great to
hear from you. Have a safe Sunday afternoon. Don't forget Dad.

Speaker 1 (00:15):
Show your phone to get in on the show called
eight six six nine eighty seven two seven to the
show and now your host of Dodger Talk, Tim Kakes.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
A disappointing day for the Dodgers and Boston a game
in Wedge. They led, fell behind, then couldn't get that
big hit they needed late in this one, and they
lose this series Infinway Park this weekend. They lose the
finale today four to three. Tim Kate's with you here
for the next thirty minutes on Dodger Talk. Eight sixty
(00:47):
six nine eight seven two five seventy eight six six
two five seventy is the number jump on board. Let's
talk some Dodger baseball, especially after a disappointing day in
which the Dodgers today saw Dustin May go head to
with Walker Bueler. Neither pitcher was great. Both pitched okay.
Dustin May a little rocky in the first inn. He
(01:09):
hit the first batter that he faced, and then that
would come back and bite him. As Trevor Story had
a sack fly in the first Dodgers down one to nothing.
After the Dodgers tied the game in the third on
a basis loaded walk that Walker Buehler gave up, he
started to fall apart a little bit in the third,
but the Dodgers just get one run off of Walker Buehler.
It tied the game In won and it kind of
felt like Dustin May was settled in and whatever was
(01:33):
getting to him. The first two innings, thirty one pitches
had traffic on the base bass. He comes back in
the third inning after Freddie Freeman's bases loaded walk tied.
They came in one and Dustin May was dialed in,
attacking the zone, getting swinging missus on the sweeper, the sinker,
he was getting swinging missus. He was hitting mid to
up or nineties. He struck out the side in the third.
(01:54):
In the top half of the fourth inning, the Dodgers
scored a couple of runs Conford Oh home run bets RBIs.
Dustin May was working with a three to one lead,
comes back in the bottom of the fourth strikes had
two to three batters that he faced. He struck out
five of six hitters in the third and fourth inning,
he was in a good comfortable rhythm on the mound.
(02:16):
And then in the fifth inning, after a one out single,
Roman Anthony hits a ball off the Green Monster misplayed
in the outfield. Anthony gets a triple out of it,
run scores, and then the very next pitch, Alex Bregman
hits a two run home run. It could change that
quick in a game, especially at Fenway Park with the
(02:36):
Green Monster and left and I know it's tough to
play in Boston with that Green Monster, and for players
that are there only a few games for a weekend series,
it's tough to get used to it. The ball can
bounce different angles. It's the Green Monster. It's been that
way for one hundred years. But the way the ball
was hit off of Roman Anthony's bat today and Michael
(02:58):
Confordo went back on it turned around on the dirt
of the warning track and the ball then bounced over
his head back towards the infield.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
Didn't play it right off the wall.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
That was the first mistake, and then the second mistake
was the infielder. Usually the shortstop has to then back
up a ball off the wall because it's so short
there in left field, it'll bounce back towards the infield.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
You and Essence are the backup, and Mookie wasn't there.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
He was sort of in no man's land, and him
and Michael Conforto are chasing the ball as it's rolling
down the line and Roman Anthony slides in with a
RBI triple. Dustin May comes back in the first pitch,
a sweeper absolutely misses over the heart of the plate
and Alex Bregman crushes it for a two run home run.
(03:46):
I would have liked to have seen him attack Alex Bregman,
throw him a sinker on the outside, throw them something,
see if he can pop it up infield. Was in
get a ground ball out, keep Anthony at third. Instead,
it's gone over the Green Monster for a two run
home run. And just like that, as good as Dustin
May had looked getting back into this game, it fell
(04:09):
apart for him. Now it's only a four to three game.
It's not like the Red Sox exploded for eight runs.
It's a blowout.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
Dodgers just want to get out of Boston as quick
as possible.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Dodgers had opportunities in the six they come right back
leadoff double by Miguel Rojas turns the lineup over for
Otani and Betts and tay Oscar who failed to get
a hit and drive in Rojas that would have tied
the game.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
Top of the lineup served on a platter.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Let's go get after the Red Sox bullpen couldn't do it.
Seventh inning had traffic on the base bass. Eighth inning
a golden opportunity. It was a great opportunity in the
six with the leadoff double. How about a walk to
Rojas and a walk to Bets. You're nine to one
hitters in the eighth inning or all this. Chatman has
(04:57):
to come out of the game. But Otani flies out
and then Tae Oscar lines into a double play and
he has on Kim, who is the pinch runner for Rojas,
gets doubled up at second base to end the Indian
That can't happen. Base running mistakes cannot happen, and they
get magnified in a game like this, playing the ball
(05:18):
off the wall in left field incorrectly and it gets
over your head and there's not a backup infield.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
They're there to help you out. Mistakes hurt you.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Lead off hit by pitch in the first inning lead
off walks. Most of the time they come back to
hurt you. The Dodgers, though thirteen runners left on base,
one for eleven with runners in scoring position today, they
had opportunities. They had great opportunities to get back into
(05:49):
this game, if not put up a crooked number and
get out of there with the win. The Dodgers bullpen
did their job. Jack Dryer one, two, three, six kept
it at a four to three game. Chestin Robleski pitched
the seventh in the eighth inning, got some help with
a double play to in the eighth, but put up
zeros to keep.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
It at a four to three game.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
And twice, not once, but twice, the Dodgers top of
the lineup, BET's Otani Taoscar came up the sixth and
the eighth inning, came up with a runner at second
base and a chance to tie the game, and they
failed to get a big hit. Part of this is
(06:31):
on the top of the lineup for failing to come through.
I know Mookie delivered with an RBI single in the fourth,
but the top of the lineup twice had opportunities drive
the ball, hit the ball on the other side of
the field to move a runner over and just couldn't
get a hit, couldn't put the.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
Ball in play.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Then you get the defense, the base running theirs last night,
three of them today getting picked off at second base,
doubled up on the line drive, the pitching, when you
make mistakes. All this adds up, and they add up
to losses most of the time. And that's what's plagued
this Dodgers team the month of July. That's why they
(07:12):
are under five hundred in the month of July, with
just a few more games to go before we flipped
the calendar to August.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
The Padres won today. Dodgers lead down to four games
in the NL West.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Now, all that being said, Dodger fans, the Dodgers still
look at Thursday, along with the rest of baseball and
the trade deadline, with the possibilities of helping out this roster.
And it's I almost laugh when I said it. And
I was talking to somebody yesterday about it, and they said,
what do you mean, help out this roster? I said,
(07:46):
they need some help, another bat, some more bullpen help.
And the person laughed at me and said, this roster's
loaded already. Didn't they go and get bullpen help in
the offseason. Don't they already have MVP and All Stars everywhere?
What do you mean goot more help? Well, the players
the Dodgers went out and got this past offseason, I'm
(08:08):
just gonna name three of them. Michael Confordo, Tanner Scott,
Kirby Yates left field left handed hitter and Michael Conforto
a left handed reliever and a right handed lever. And Tanner,
Scott and Kirby Yates to proven, proven closers with a
(08:30):
ton of saves and experience at the back end of games.
All three were off season moves to phill holes, and
they were made in the offseason Dodger fans, so the
Dodgers didn't have to get to the trade deadline here
at the end of July and start having to make
(08:51):
more moves and overpay to go get a rental player
or overpay to go get a player with multiple years
left before they become a free agent. They were trying
to prevent this by signing a Michael Conforto for depth
in the outfield, and they added to arguably two of
the best relievers in free agency. They added to this
(09:14):
bullpen in Tanner Scott and Kirby Yates. The moves were
made seven months ago. But here we are the trade
deadline on Thursday at three o'clock Pacific, and the Dodgers
find themselves looking at a roster that may need another arm,
a roster that probably needs another bat, if not a
(09:38):
starter in left field, but another bat off the bench.
Let's look at the last couple of days, no Key
k Hernandez off the bench or starting in a game.
I mean, I love Key k but I think I
think his value has gone up even more realizing he's
not there to pinch hit late in the game, to
play outfield, to be a spark as a right handed bat.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
Dodgers just don't have that.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
They got Hay Sung Kim to come off the bench,
Miguel Rojas when he's not starting to come off the bench.
I mean, there's not a lot of depth there as
far as right handed bats off the bench that can
help out this Dodgers team. That could be a big
need they have to address here at the trade deadline. Now,
(10:26):
the one thing they won't have to address is starting pitching.
Dave Roberts alluded to it today in the pregame with
Blake Snell coming off the injured list in Tampa, and
all signs point to him starting on Friday in Tampa
against the Rays. That's what it's looking like right now.
(10:46):
Made a final start yesterday in TRIPLEA Oklahoma City. It
is all signs pointing to him starting Friday in Tampa.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
Now, when he returns to this rotation, now the.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
Dodgers will have a plethora of starters, and Dave Roberts
said it, they will go to a six man rotation
show Hey Otani, Clayton Kershaw, Tyler Glass, now, Blake Snell,
Yoshi Yamamoto, and Dustin May and with show Hey Otani,
(11:20):
Dave Roberts alluded to it, he will pitch this Wednesday
and the following Wednesday because the Dodgers have off days
behind it, and that way he's a chance to get
some rest as a two way player hitter and a pitcher.
That makes sense. It absolutely makes sense. How you line
it up with Otani, he is your two way player.
Line him up with an off day so he can
(11:41):
get that rest day the day afterwards makes one hundred
percent sense. So now you've got six starters in the
rotation and that's not even including a Justin Robleski. What
about Immitt Shehan? Where does he fit into this Jack
Tryer's been great out of the bullpen. He's solidified a
(12:03):
roll down there, benk Asparius, bullpen guy. Now the Dodgers
are now getting back arms and this rotation now is
a six man rotation beginning at the end of this
road trip.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
When Tyler Glass now comes off the injured list, that is.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
One positive you can look at for the Dodgers with
all these injuries and say, who made it through these
injuries and now that they're getting back healthy, they are
primed and ready to go. Getting Tyler Glass now back
the last couple starts has been a shot in the arm, no,
no pun intended to help out this Dodgers team. You
(12:43):
get back now Blake Snell healthy on Friday.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
I know it's not.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
A trade deadline deal, but you could look at it as, yeah,
new blood in that Dodger's club.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
With Blake Snell back on the mound. It's been months
since he's pitched.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
It is almost like making a trade getting Blake Snell
back into this rotation on Friday, a fresh arm to
go along with the other five starters. And I'm not
even including Immit Shehan as one of those five starters.
So now Dodgers looking at the trade deadline, don't he's
starting pitching. Is it gonna be an arm or is
(13:28):
it gonna be another bat eight six six nine, eight
seven two five seventy And before we get to the phones,
David Vasse brought the name Michael Tackman, who is an outfielder,
a left handed hitting outfielder with the Chicago White Sox.
He is an interesting name that could fit into this
Dodger team and the outfield. Harrison Bader also a name
(13:54):
that Bob Nightingale of the USA Today has thrown out
there as a possibility for the Dodgers in left field.
We just saw Harrison Bader with the Minnesota Twins. Right
handed hitting left fielder thirty one years old, can get
on base.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
Got a little bit of pop. Nothing's gonna cost.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
You probably the world to go get not gonna cost
you the farm. Not gonna cost you a lot of
top prospects to go out there and get a Harrison
Bater or Michael Topman, that's for sure. There's the kind
of level of moves I think the Dodgers.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
If they make one or two. Those are the kind
of moves you're gonna see from the Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
I'm pretty confident in thinking then they're not gonna trade
away top prospects to go out and get the top
tier classes closers of the world with service time still available,
and get it cost you three or four prospects to
get one guy. You're most likely looking at a mid level.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
Trade.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
It's the best way to put it. And Andrew Freeman's
been really good at those. Let's think back to a
year ago. Dodgers went out and got a trade in
a three way deal with the Cardinals and the Detroit Tigers,
and in the White Sox. You know, you go out
and you get a Jack Flaherty. Okay, you go out
and get a Michael Kopek. They went out and got
a guy named Tommy Edmond, who a lot of Dodger
(15:25):
fans were quick to get on their phones and google
Tommy Edmond to find out who is he and what
has he done? And he was hurt at the time
this time last year when the Dodgers went out and
got him in the trade. So I trust Andrew Freeman
that they'll go out and make the necessary moves that
they feel could help out this roster if they feel
(15:47):
there's a move to be made. I look at the
minor leagues right now. If you're looking for more bullpen help,
another arm, Bobby Miller. It was brought up yesterday and
reported that Bobby Miller's being moved to the bull in
Triple A Oklahoma City. He's having trouble five, six, seven
innings in his starts, but there's no doubting that Bobby
(16:09):
Miller's stuff is really good in short spurts. Maybe he's
better suited at the major league level as a reliever,
as a one inning guy that can go out there
and get you three outs and get you to your
back end. Reliever Jack Dryer, Justin Robleski, my guy, Ben Casparius.
(16:30):
They weren't relievers that were brought up to the major
league levels and just continue to be relievers. These were
all pitchers who were starters in the minor leagues. I
cannot emphasize them in this enough. They were starters and
probably would like to be starters. But their roles at
the major league level with the Dodgers are as relievers, openers,
(16:51):
bullpen relievers, and that's the job they have taken on,
and I think Bobby Miller could be in that line
as well. To go out there and get a couple
at bats against somebody in the seventh or eighth inning,
come out of the bullpen and get it out when
you need to with runners on base and facing a
right handed hitter.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
I think that could work.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
So maybe there's not a need to go out there
and get another arm at the trade deadline when you're
adding back a Blake Snell, Emit she And maybe now
becomes a bullpen arm that you can rely on. Maybe
Dustin May is out of the rotation and becomes the
seventh or eighth inning guy and Emit Shean takes his
spot in the rotation. That could very well happen. So
(17:33):
you're adding maybe a Bobby Miller to the back end
of the bullpen. You're adding a she and or a
Dustin May. There's two arms right there. You don't need
to make a trade for. You know the guys, you
know what they can do, and you're pretty confident they
can go out there and get you a couple outs
or at least in any of the work in a game.
Don't need to make a trade. So maybe outfield right
handed bat is the way the Dodgers are looking. Eight
(17:53):
six six nine eighty seven two five seventy. We'll take
a quick time out, we'll come back and we'll get
to your phone calls. Eight six six nine eighty seven
two five to seventy. Dodgers lose in Boston, an ugly loss,
had opportunity after opportunity and could not get that hit
they needed in the last four innings with runners of
the scoring position. As the Red Sox come back and
win in four to three, your phone calls when we
(18:15):
come back.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
Dodger fans, the trade deadlines Thursday.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
Either they're gonna make this team and roster better or
they're gonna go for with what they have. Eight sixty

Around, driving about at the beach, shop at the pool,

being with us here on AMHI seventy LA Sports Live Everywhere,
of course on the iHeartRadio app. Dodgers lose in Boston.
They fall to the Red Sox by a final of
four to three. Brennan Bernardino out of Valencia High School
(19:35):
against the win, He's now four and two. Dustin Megan's
tag with the loss. As the Dodgers chased Walker Bueller
in the fifth inning, they had opportunity after opportunity and
just could not get to him or the Red Sox
bullpen despite thirteen runners left on base, one for eleven
with runners in scoring position. Let's go out to the
(19:55):
phones Ken Newport Beach. Just first up here on Dodger Talk.
Speaker 6 (19:59):
How you doing, hey, Kim? It is a nice day
to day. It was a few days. I didn't take
a ride down the beach because it was a game
game that I wanted to watch it, and I had
to watch it with the no volleybaond because there's somebody
that was doing the announcing that another paper. Anyway, they're
eight and thirteen in the month July, and three of
(20:20):
those wins were against one of the worst teams in baseball,
the White Sox. They're not beating the good teams, and
that's a problem, and there are issues. They're going to
have to get another hitter. They're not getting anything out
of third base. I'm not getting much out of shortstop,
and I don't know.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
Where did they go though. Don't you said they need
another bat.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
I mean, if you're going for a Harrison Bader or
Michael Toking, that's great, But what are you expecting out
of those guys instant power, twenty home runs? You know,
them to carry this lineup full of MVPs and drag
them through August and September. Whatever they bring in, as
far as another bat can has to be as a
role player, an additional bat. It can't be somebody that's
(21:04):
going to come in here and be that whorehes the
layer or be that Byron Buxton and just come in
in instant power.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
They don't. They just they don't have the room.
Speaker 6 (21:14):
Yeah, I agree. It's just you see what happens when
there's runners in scoring position. They're not getting the runs over.
They need somebody who's not thinking about the home runs.
And you know, Tony's great, but he's also got one
hundred and twenty nine strikeouts. Need somebody that's going to
hit the ball the opposite field. If you've got a
man on secund or a man on third, they're not
(21:34):
getting those over. Lot of how many people are getting
thrown out of third base or second base? We've got
we've got some issues. I'm not sure where it's coming from.
Whether it's the coaches or the team is just not
paying attention.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
I don't know either. Ken, I appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
I'm I'm frustrated with the the little things you can
clean up. It's the mental part of the game, the
fundamentals that you can clean up.
Speaker 3 (21:58):
And if you clean up, you give yourself a chance
to win.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
And when you got talent like the Dodgers, you're gonna
win two out of three games in a series.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
You should win three.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
Games out of a four in every single series, assuming
you play clean baseball. That means running the bases right,
being smart on the base pass, not getting doubled up
at second base on a line drive, not trying to
extend a double to a triple and getting gunned down.
(22:28):
Playing sound defense, and sound defense is making the smart
throw on a basin and not trying to throw a
guy out a home and letting the guy who just
singled advanced to second and to get into scoring position.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
That's not smart.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Going to the Green Monster and for three games looking
like a team that has no clue what's gonna happen
with the ball off the Green Monster. I mean, I
know it takes weird bounces, it's a tricky place to play,
but you gotta understand you can't you're gonna have the
I mean if I can see it in the hop
(23:02):
and the way to play it off the wall, and
having a backup infield there to help you out. These
are little things that if you do right, We're not
talking about them. There's just part of the game. It's
just something that should be done. It's expected to be
done as big league ballplayers. But when you don't do
that and you on top of it, you're a pitcher
and you walk the lead off guy constantly, and you
(23:24):
come in as a bullpen and you're walking guys like
we saw the Dodgers' bullpen do. And you come in,
you hit the first batter of the game and he
comes around to score in the first inning for the
Red Sox. These little things you have to clean up
or you're not gonna be a championship team. The Dodgers
did that last year. And then you get home runs
from Otani and you got MVPs driving in runs and
(23:47):
you start winning games, but you're not gonna win games
or series even how talented this Dodger team is, if
they don't clean it up and they don't start playing
better baseball fundamentally. And it's it's kind of frustrating to
have to say that that with this experience and this
talent and this group of guys, that they don't play
(24:07):
clean baseball. And this even it gets extended to infield
and their throws to first base, and how many times
have we seen Freddie Freeman make a pick at first
How many times have we seen Freddie Freeman bail out
a third baseman, a shortstop, a second baseman on a
(24:29):
bad throw that he's got to get down and make
an unbelievable pick, like he's a witch over there with
the glove. It happens every game and it kind of
gets just, oh, great play by Freddie Freeman. Uh, he
gets the final out of the ending, and what a pick.
That's an unbelievable play that just saved another run. But
it's just a o hum another play by Freddie because
(24:52):
he has to constantly make him. I can't remember I,
honestly having watched the game of baseball growing up, playing it,
watching minor league baseball, college baseball, major league baseball. I
cannot remember a first baseman over the last two three years,
(25:15):
maybe at least two seasons now having to make more
picks at first base on bad throws from the infield
than Freddie Freeman's had to. And the fact that he
didn't win a Gold Glove last year is a shame.
He'd better be a finalist, if not win a Gold
Glove this year for what he's doing at first base.
(25:36):
He is lipstick on what is a lot of times
a ugly infield defensively, and he makes it look good
with his picks. Again, that's just an extension of the
base running, the outfield play, bad throws, pitchers coming out
walking guys, relievers coming in walking the bases loaded. This
(25:59):
can't have You can't come in as a reliever like
they did in the last homestand and back to back
games two different guys and walk the bases loaded.
Speaker 3 (26:08):
Cannot happen. You have to play clean baseball.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
You're a pin shrunner at second base on the line,
drive to the second baseman.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
Your first step has got to be back.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
You've got to get back to the back and not
get doubled up like Haysan Kim did today.
Speaker 3 (26:22):
Cannot happen. Cannot happen.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
That's just one example of several today of the Dodgers
not playing clean baseball, and it hurt him. Hit by
pitching the first inning, hurt them. The defense with the
green Monster and left field. Okay again, I know it's
tough in left field. I'm getting text and tweets. So
it's hard to play at Finway Park. Okay, I get it,
But you don't play it right and the guy gets
(26:45):
a triple out of it, scores a run, and then
the next battery it's a two run home run. Little
things add up. The mistakes will hurt you. It's a
difference between the good teams and the bad teams all
the time. Why are the White Sox always bad? Why
are teams like that always bad? Because they make mistakes,
(27:06):
they throw the ball away, They don't have pitching they
can get hitters out, they walk guys, they don't have
the offense. Well, look in the mirror. The Dodgers are
sub five hundred and the month of July. Look in
the mirror. The Dodgers don't play great defense right now.
Look in the mirror, walking too many pincher walking too
many hitters. The Dodgers have become that and they need
(27:30):
to turn it around. They need to get back to
what they did so good to start the season and
what they did really good all of last year and
helped win a World Series because of it.
Speaker 3 (27:44):
It's not a secret.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
You can sit and listen and watch to a Dodger
game and you can see the difference and a team
that plays clean, a team that goes out there and
is playing at a high level, and a team that's
not and the team is making stakes and the team
that's starting to see mistakes pile up, and that means
losses are starting to pile up, the leading the divisions
(28:07):
down to four. That's it down to four. As the
Padres won today and the Dodgers lost, having now dropped
two or three on this road trip, and they go
to Cincinnati, they're gonna get a hungry Reds team that
one today and beat the Tampa Bay Rays.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
Let's go to Will in Long Beach. Thanks for being patient?
How you knowing?
Speaker 4 (28:23):
Will?
Speaker 3 (28:27):
Will go ahead? Will go ahead? Your will?
Speaker 2 (28:31):
You're gone, Rick, sam Pedro, You're next up here on
Dodger Talk.
Speaker 3 (28:35):
How you doing Rick?
Speaker 7 (28:37):
Great? Tim?
Speaker 8 (28:38):
I agree with everything you say. I don't think we
should give up a lot of treasure to get more pitching,
even though I mean the bullpen has cossed to eight
or nine games this year. The fact is we have
about the same number of wins this year as we
had last year.
Speaker 7 (28:50):
At this time.
Speaker 8 (28:51):
They just got to clean it up. Yep, it's just
a hot mess. They got to clean it up. They
got to play smart, and they have to have some
impactful at bats. Conforto's been hitting the crap out of
the ball, but he's a dead poll hitter, and so
they just got to clean it all up. But I
wouldn't go out and make a bunch of trades. At
this point, I don't think that's gonna really do anything.
Especially when you play bad baseball and you run yourself
(29:14):
out of any you got to clean it up.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
I hear Harrison Bader's name, I hear Michael Tokman's name,
and I just, Okay, that's great.
Speaker 3 (29:20):
Those are two names.
Speaker 8 (29:22):
You know.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
It doesn't I don't look at those one of those
guys and that go Wow, that is what they need.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
That is the hole that is gonna be filled with
Harrison Bader.
Speaker 3 (29:31):
I just I don't feel that way.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
I mean, I thought they can they can patch together
guys in left field, move the outfield around.
Speaker 3 (29:37):
I mean, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
Maybe we put Mookie in right field, we can move
to Oscar to the left. That would solve a problem
in the outfield. But I'm just throwing that out there.
Speaker 3 (29:45):
But who am I?
Speaker 7 (29:46):
Right?
Speaker 8 (29:48):
Yeah, I agree with it, all.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
Right, Rick. I appreciate the phone call Steven diving Bar.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
Next up here on Dodger Talk, Dodgers lose to the
Red Sox four to three. They drop two of three
at Fenway Park this series. As ahead to Cincinnati, how
you doing.
Speaker 4 (30:01):
Steve, I'm doing fantastic, and I'll tell you why. I'm
first off better hearing you then the cry baby Davids say.
But with all that, moving next pitching right on with that.
I've always thought that they can take some of these
guys that have been starting that are good for about
three or four innings and they give it up. Moving
(30:21):
him moved him into the bullpen, either for the long
guy or coming closes, like in the seventh inning when
he started a tawny he went three innings and then
they brought in Dustin May. He was good for four innings. Yeah,
they don't need to go to six six man rotation.
I guy gets hurt, he pulled one of these starters
(30:43):
that are a bullpen back out of the mind on
the start it again, and that's that'll help solve the
bullpen situations because some of the guys that are coming
in for sure relief and giving it up, they're giving
it up. And one thing Roberts did last year that
he wasn't counting on a closer per se. He was
rotating guys in and out. Brian now scottson not doing
(31:05):
the job, bring different guys in to close it out.
Speaker 7 (31:08):
You could do that.
Speaker 3 (31:08):
Yeah, I think that's what we're seeing.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
Steve and I appreciated Alex Vesia's roles increased. You saw
Justin Robleski and Jack Dryer come out today, two left handers,
and we're dealing. You know, a hit by pitch, didn't
bother them, got out of the inning.
Speaker 3 (31:21):
A walk or a single.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
With one out in the eighth, Justin Robleski gets a
double play to get out of it, pitches himself out
of it very nicely.
Speaker 3 (31:29):
I like the six man rotation.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
I like Yamamoto, Kershaw, Otani, Blake Snell, Tyler Glass. Now
and I'm gonna go, Immit Shean, I'm gonna move the
cards around a little bit. I thought, Immit Sheen pitched
well the other night in Boston. I'd I'd give Immate
Sheen the ball here. Moving forward, Dustin May piggybacked Otani.
(31:52):
His last outing before today, pitched almost five Indians, was
four and change shut out baseball.
Speaker 3 (32:00):
I thought he was really good.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
He could come in, in my opinion, to be a
long reliever if you needed, but also with that sweeper
in that fastball for one, two, three batters if you
need an out in the seventh or eighth inning if
you need to get out of a jam with you know,
one out in the eighth inning, if you need a
clean inning from Dustin May, I think he's the guy
to do it because he's different. He's a lengthy guy
(32:23):
who can drop the arm slot down a little bit
and look different than the pitcher's been out there beforehand.
But you get Dustin May out there for five, six,
seven innings. Second time around against Alex Bregmany Tagna for
a two run home run, Roman Anthony hit a ball
off the wall, almost got out instead.
Speaker 3 (32:39):
It's an RBI triple.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
Maybe the situation right now, with so many starters, it's
better fit to have Emmitt Sheen in the rotation and
Dustin May long relief and a guy who can pitch
in a series, deep in a game when you need
him to get some outs.
Speaker 3 (33:00):
This is my personal opinion.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
I think the stuff is there for Dustin May, but
if we need it in short spurts a Bobby Miller
short spurts an inning, a batter, a two batters.
Speaker 3 (33:11):
I love that idea.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
I think it works, and I think they would buy
into it because a guy like Dustin May is going
into his free agent year. He wants to show that
he could pitch. He's proven that he could be a starter.
But I think he would only help himself out to
show that he's diverse and able to pitch out of
the bullpen as well. I'm watching him pitch the Bregman
of the third and the replay right now on a
three to two pitch, just through a nasty, nasty fastball
(33:34):
that had a little run on it and struck him out.
Looking he's got the stuff. Maybe shorter spurts of dustin
May is the way to go. Marshall in mid City
is here on Dodge Talk on an FI seventy.
Speaker 3 (33:45):
How you do it, Marshall, I'm doing well.
Speaker 7 (33:48):
Thanks.
Speaker 9 (33:48):
I just I agree with almost everything you said. I
just we had a formula that won us the World
Series last year and we're strained from it. You know,
our bullpen was excellent. It got us through a bunch
of close series against the Padres and the Mets, and
Dave tends to pick defensive players over just bats. It
doesn't feel like we're doing that anymore. I mean, the
outfield deal that we're fielding day to day is below
(34:12):
average average to below average, So you know, we're not
gonna win tight series. You don't want to take this
team into the playoffs and get into tight series when
you can't rely on them to play fundamental baseball.
Speaker 2 (34:24):
No, you're right, You're right. I'm glad you agree with me, Marshall.
I appreciated you know. I'm I'm not gonna panic and
pull the rip cord and say Mookie's got to go
back to right field.
Speaker 3 (34:34):
I'm not gonna pull that card right now.
Speaker 2 (34:36):
But man, in my mind, to see the trade deadline
coming up, the todd just don't.
Speaker 3 (34:42):
Need to go out get an outfielder.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
If they just shuffle the deck, so to speak, with
the guys they have, maybe move somebody back out to
the outfield, move the right fielder over to the left field.
Speaker 3 (34:51):
That solves your outfield situation.
Speaker 2 (34:53):
Then when Max Munsey, who's gonna be coming back here
sooner rather than later, he's in Arizona getting some wings
in right now while the Dodgers are on the road.
If he can come back on the next homestand the
next couple of weeks, let's say back at every day.
Speaker 3 (35:07):
At third base. That allows Tommy Evam to play shortstop.
Speaker 2 (35:12):
That allows Miguel Rojas to play shortstop mcgil Rojas to
play some more second base. With Kim there, it allows
more opportunity to get those guys defensively on the left
side of the infield, maybe better situated than what you
got right now.
Speaker 3 (35:27):
I'm just saying.
Speaker 2 (35:28):
And again, defense is a big part of baseball, and
the Dodgers defensively round out just.
Speaker 3 (35:33):
Not playing clean. And you add that again with base running.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
You add that with pitchers making mistakes with too many walks,
hitting guys, those guys coming around and scoring, and that's
not good.
Speaker 3 (35:46):
And again it's just what we've.
Speaker 2 (35:47):
Seen out of this Dodger team too much here in
the month of July especially. That's why they are a
sub five hundred team here in this month of July.
Don in the city of Industry, He's got the deepest
pipes in sports talk radio.
Speaker 7 (35:58):
HOI you doing, Don, Tim Kate's great when I hear
your voice. Dodgers need some of your fire, bro, I mean,
you're right on the money and then some.
Speaker 2 (36:07):
I would gladly go to that clubhouse and start turning
over tables if I needed to, Don.
Speaker 3 (36:12):
Oh, I don't think it would prove anything.
Speaker 2 (36:14):
I think I'd have twenty six guys and a coaching
staff and a manager look at me.
Speaker 3 (36:18):
Like, what is this idiot doing? But if they want
me to all do.
Speaker 7 (36:22):
It, hey, maybe that's it. You need to need to
put your foot through a door and have somebody on
the other side to be sure to push your foot
back out. But you know, this reminds me. There was
this crazy movie way back in the day. I think
it was called something like Moonlight. I only saw the trailer,
but that was the best part probably in the movie,
where it's Share and some younger guy I think it
was Nicholas Cage or something. He's acting stupid and she
(36:44):
like slaps him right in the face and goes, snap
out of it. That's what the Dodgers need to do.
And he's someone to collectively slap them in the face
and say snap out of it, because that's basically it.
Everybody's laughing at us, you know how it is. It's like, oh, Dodgers,
with all your money and all your playful you know,
someone used to get mad man, We're better than this.
(37:05):
We're supposed to be elite, need to act like it.
There was this great military commander. He took over this
elite unit, Racondo and guys were getting killed, and he said, no,
this stops. Now we're supposed to be elite. He said,
from now on, I'm gonna say hardcore Ricondo, and you're
gonna say no freaking slack. And that's what we need now,
(37:25):
hardcore Dodgers, no freaking slack.
Speaker 8 (37:28):
Love it.
Speaker 7 (37:28):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (37:29):
Don, all right, appreciate that Moonstruck was the movie we're
talking about. Was Sharon Nicholas Cage way back in the
mid eighties.
Speaker 7 (37:36):
I believe is that.
Speaker 2 (37:37):
When I came out, so a nice Moonstruck reference there
by Don in the City of Industry. That's the That's
a first. That is honestly a first, a Moonstruck analogy
and reference.
Speaker 3 (37:48):
All right, let's wrap things up.
Speaker 2 (37:50):
I don't know who's more frustrated with the way the
Dodgers played today and the way the Dodgers have been
playing in the month of July, me or Isabelle and
Anaheim is Wow, that was a.
Speaker 3 (38:01):
Rough one today.
Speaker 10 (38:03):
Yeah, and this is what I just guys check up
to David. He's not a cry baby. He's maybe maybe
if you guys will listen to him more. He's very honest,
rising me nuts, but they get they they's get to
the Super Dodgers right now, because we get to saying.
(38:23):
I just can't say anything embedded. I am so frustrated.
There was no reason to lose this kame today. You
know what, if they can, if they want to win
a championship, they need to snap out of it. I
agree everything you said, Tim, I don't know what else
(38:44):
to say. This team is so first rating.
Speaker 3 (38:47):
I get it.
Speaker 2 (38:48):
You're frustrated. I'm frustrated. Dodger fans are frustrated. Great to
hear from you. Have a safe Sunday afternoon. Don't forget Dad.
