One thing about this gene is the invisible and tangibles
that they have.

This team is really becoming a family.
Speaker 3 (00:09):
Let's not play one on Tom.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
Let's wind it.

I love writing these guys after the show.

So just thank you, give me are.
Speaker 6 (00:15):
Your attention, your fire, and not a piss.
Speaker 4 (00:17):
This is world champion Dodgers, world championing.
Speaker 6 (00:21):
For a small soft time they get up people what
they want to die to A two is special. I'm like, yeah,
it's not a headache. One of the con This ball's gone.
Speaker 4 (00:31):
You ready to go?
Speaker 5 (00:32):
Sure, old time to the sound grab your phone.
Speaker 4 (00:36):
To get in on the show called eight six six
nine eighty seven two five seven.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
And go to the show.
Speaker 4 (00:41):
And now your host of Dodger Talk, Tim Kakes.
Speaker 6 (00:46):
Not a good day for.
Speaker 7 (00:47):
The Dodgers, especially the bullfin, which has been so good
all season, and it's picked up this pitching staff the
entire twenty twenty five baseball season. Today wasn't their day,
as show Hey Otani handed over a three to one
lead to the bullpen from the fifth inning on, and
the Dodgers' bullpen just could not deliver. In fact, the sixth, seventh, eighth,
(01:11):
and ninth inning, the leadoff batter was on every inning
for the Saint Louis Cardinals. Meanwhile, you go back to
what Showeyotani was doing, limiting the first batter of every
inning except for the sunball in the third inning. He
had eight strikeouts, no walks, helped himself out when the
offense didn't do anything the first three innings. He came
through with a two run home run. The Dodgers got
(01:33):
some help on a flop play that a ball goes
off the bat of Miguel Rojas on a steel attempt
to third and incomes Andy Paez. Dodgers took care of
business early on thanks to show Heyo Tani. They took
advantage of a miscue from the Saint Louis Cardinals in
that fourth inning to take a three to one lead,
and then things completely flipped. You can see the momentum
(01:53):
of the game completely change as the offense went dormant
two hits the rest of the way. Meanwhile, the dodd
bullpen struggled to get out early.
Speaker 6 (02:05):
A lead off walking.
Speaker 7 (02:06):
The sixth proved to be bad for Justin Robleski in
the seventh inning, a lead off single a sack bunt.
He was able to work around it. And get out
of the seventh inning no damage done.
Speaker 6 (02:16):
In the eighth inning, a.
Speaker 7 (02:18):
Leadoff single given up by Alex Vesia and then a
mis cue by Alex Freelan on a single from Jordan
Walker didn't help out his cause either, as the Cardinals
took the lead, and then Brock Stewart, who came in
in the ninth inning, gave up a single hit the
batter the first two batters he faced in the ninth
and what should have been a four to three game
going to the bottom half of the ninth inning.
Speaker 6 (02:39):
You've got to put up a zero in.
Speaker 7 (02:41):
That top half of the ninth inning to stop the momentum,
first off offensively by the Cardinals, and two to keep
it a one run game, so you have a chance
to get a lead off runner on, get some speed
out there, maybe with a pinch runner, and tie this
bad boy up. Instead the Dodgers chasing two, it's tough
and they had to go ahead run at first base
(03:04):
and could not get.
Speaker 6 (03:06):
It done in the ninth inning.
Speaker 7 (03:09):
Dodgers lose five to three to the Saint Louis Cardinals,
dropping two of three to Saint Louis and don't look now,
the leading the division is getting smaller and smaller. The
San Diego Padres aren't going away, folks. There are here
for the rest of the season, and this is gonna
be a tight race moving forward.
Speaker 6 (03:31):
There's gonna be no room for air.
Speaker 7 (03:33):
In fact, I think whatever team blinks first, as far
as loses back to back series, maybe drops eight of ten,
seven of ten. Whatever team does that first, the Dodgers
of the Padres, the other team's gonna take a huge
advantage in the division.
Speaker 6 (03:51):
I think moving.
Speaker 7 (03:52):
Forward, which team blinks first and goes into a rut
a tailspin, that will be the difference in who wins
this division between the Dodgers and the Podgers. The Padres
aren't going anywhere. They're playing hot. They need to cool
off at some point.
Speaker 6 (04:07):
They just have to.
Speaker 7 (04:08):
They've won eight of ten the Dodgers. Mean, while playing
five hundred baseball, and what was a nine game lead
was down to six, was down to five, was down
to four, and now within the week it could be
down to two. The Padres win tonight in Arizona. I
said it on Sunday when the Dodgers played the finale
in Tampa. I said it last week and they played
the series finale in Cincinnati. The Dodgers have to clean
(04:32):
it up. The Dodgers have to be the better team defensively,
and the bullpen has to stop walking guys. You just
got to play better baseball. Last year, the Dodgers did that,
and their talent alone will win them a lot of games.
But you start giving the other team opportunities. You start
(04:53):
opening the door to bad teams, sub five hundred teams,
teams like the Saint Louis Cardinals, who are a team.
You give them opportunities by losing a ball in the sun. Okay,
it happens, a bunt single to bring in a run.
That's just fundamentally lacking right there for the Dodgers, not
making the play. And then you've got bad throw in
(05:16):
the eighth. You've got relief pitchers walking guys, giving up
a hit to lead off an inning. That is a
recipe for disaster. And for the Dodgers, these miscues, these.
Speaker 6 (05:33):
These these these.
Speaker 7 (05:35):
Plays that they should be making and aren't. The inability
of the bullpen to be efficient like they're supposed to,
it's a problem, it really is. And when you start
seeing the lead in the division get smaller and smaller,
the Dodgers now find themselves in a real street fight.
They find them in a real brawl now with a
(05:56):
Padres who would love nothing more than to get into
a fight with the Dodgers.
Speaker 6 (06:00):
Now they poke the bear, They poke the bear.
Speaker 7 (06:03):
They keep saying stuff you're HEARDing Mason Miller talk about
he got traded from the A's of the Padres, and
first thing he was told in the clubhouse was, you don't.
Speaker 6 (06:11):
Like the Dodgers. We have a rivalry with the Dodgers.
You're not to like them anymore.
Speaker 7 (06:16):
Okay, they hate the Dodgers. They were coming right out
to chase the Dodgers, and the Dodgers better wake up defensively,
fundamentally and buckle up here for the stretch run. It's
August sixth. It is August sixth. You do not have
a thirteen game lead in the division. You have a
(06:38):
two and a half game lead as we speak. There's
the room for error is getting smaller and smaller for
the Dodgers. They better figure it out, and figure it
out fast and clean up this game that they're playing.
They really do. I don't mean to be harsh, but
you can't play the way the Dodgers are playing and
(06:59):
think you're gonna be a championship team in October. You
have to do the little things right. You have to
play baseball clean. You have to go out and do
your job, and that's little things like not walking a
lead off batter, hitting the right cutoff man, getting into
the right spot for a relay, knowing where you're supposed
(07:20):
to throw the baseball instead of throwing to third, and
allowing the runner to advance the second and then the
third basement.
Speaker 6 (07:26):
Hey, Alex Freeland tried to make a play.
Speaker 7 (07:28):
I don't fault him for it, but he makes a
bad throw, gets away from Mickey Row and the run,
the go ahead run comes into score. Probably should have
kept it in his back pocket and not thrown made.
The throw was a bad throw and the go ahead
run scores. The difference between a win and a loss
at this level could meet could it could be a
(07:51):
bad throw here, a misqueue there, an air. Little things
like that make a difference in a game. You do
it multiple time in a game, you're probably gonna lose.
Even if you got a three to one lead, like
the Dodgers did today, they gave it up. Sho Hey
Otani did basically all he could. I mean, he went
(08:13):
one for three at the plate on base of the
walk as well hit a two run home run. Okay,
with outside of him going three for three from the
plate with home runs in every bat. He literally did
all he could do. Four innings on the mound, one run,
two hits. One of the hits was a sun single
that would come around and score in the third eight
punch outs. He struck out the side in the fourth
(08:35):
inning and was nasty. How many walks for show?
Speaker 6 (08:38):
Hey? Zero? Zero walks for show? Hey? On fifty four pitches.
Speaker 7 (08:43):
Now, I'm gonna beat you to the punch, Dodger fan,
because I've already seen it, asked on Twitter, I'm gonna
beat you to the punch when you're gonna ask why
didn't he pitch more? Why did he come out of
the game after four innings? Could he have gone to
the fifth?
Speaker 6 (09:03):
Probably?
Speaker 7 (09:04):
But now he's in the fifty pitch rangs fifty four
to be exact. Today, the Dodgers a three to one lead.
You feel like the offense is cranking right there. They've
got three runs on six hits so far through four innings.
You kind of feel good about the offense after the
last night's twelve run pounding of the Cardinals, and you're
(09:25):
up three to one through four innings and you hadn't
got anything really from outside of show Hey Otani in those.
Speaker 6 (09:31):
First four innings.
Speaker 7 (09:32):
If you're Dave Roberts, you're feeling pretty good about Okay,
got a lead, my offense is gonna be there, They're
gonna tack on more runs, and my bullpen has carried us.
Speaker 6 (09:42):
Feel pretty good about that.
Speaker 7 (09:45):
Well, the offense completely went into shutdown mode. Two hits
the rest of the way against the Cardinals, Matt Libratorre
and then the bullpen Justin Robleski. Well, the sixth inning
fell apart, thinning Alex Vesia struggled, and the ninth inning,
brock Stewart gave up a run, a huge insurance run
(10:08):
for the Saint Louis Cardinals to go up five to three,
and that would be the final score. You heard Dave
robertson the post game. I want to bring it up
before we get out to the phones, because Colin E
and I were talking about this as well. You're in
the eighth inning of a tight game this afternoon. Alex
Vessi is out there working his tail off. Burlison as
(10:28):
single to lead off the inning, Lars Newpar on one
pitch flies out to center. Three pitches into the third
and the eighth inning, alex Vesia faces Mason Win, who
then proceeds to have a ten pitch at bat in
which he fouled off one, two, three, four, five six
pitches and then singles on the tenth pitch of the bat.
(10:53):
The long at bat, the long time for alex Vesio
to be battling Mason Win, and Win wins the battle.
Speaker 6 (11:01):
Okay, Poso comes up.
Speaker 7 (11:05):
Vessia falls behind two to one, probably gassed still from
that ten pitch of bat, gets one, two, three, four
straight foul balls off the bat of Poso, before on
the eighth pitch a bat of that vat he flies
out eight team pitches to back to back hitters. So
now you've got two on, two out and Jordan Walker
(11:29):
come into the plate and an Alex Vessia who has
now grinded through one, two, three, four batters. Dave Roberts
was asked in the postgame show in the moment Colin
and I were saying, why not go to brock Stewart here,
he's mister dominate right handed hitters. Well, it's a one
(11:53):
run game, you're up three to two, two outs, eighth inning,
runners on first and second, and the right headed hit
Jordan Walker up to bat. Now if they make a
change and bringing a pinch hitter, okay, but you don't
go to brock Stewart. Instead, you keep Vessie out there
and on an eighty six mile an hour slider over
(12:14):
the middle of the plate of the third pitch to Walker,
he hits at the left center field for a single.
Throwing air from Freeland brings in win and all of
a sudden, a three to two Dodger lead. The Dodgers
are chasing a run still two out in the eighth inning,
and Alex Vessia stays out there to get the final out.
Then you go to the ninth inning to brock Stewart
(12:37):
to hopefully keep it a four to three game.
Speaker 6 (12:38):
He gives up a run, and how it's a five
to three game?
Speaker 7 (12:41):
Dave Roberts. His answer was, didn't have enough guys in
the bullpen. Blake Tryning was down there left. So if
you go to brock Stewart and he gets Jordan Walker, okay,
let's assuming he gets him out.
Speaker 6 (12:52):
Still a three to two Dodgers lead crisis, averted.
Speaker 7 (12:56):
You go to the ninth inning and you've got Blake
trying it out there, there's two outings for Blake Trining.
Speaker 6 (13:01):
He's had to come out and get him.
Speaker 7 (13:03):
Dave Roberts has had to do that because Blake trying
to has struggled to get out of the inning. And
if that's all you've got down there in the bullpen,
Dave Roberts said, he's thinking ahead, thinking projecting, well, if
we need to go to extra innings, we got nobody
down there. Okay, you can look at it that way,
or you can look at it as I want to
win the game. It's a three to two game at
this point. We got a guy we acquired to get
(13:25):
right handed hitters out. Let's bring him in to get
the final out and then take it after that in
the ninth inning. Maybe who knows, the Dodgers come out
the bottom of the eighth, tack on a couple runs,
and you give Blake Trinon a two or three run
advantage to work with instead of a one run lead.
We don't know what happens. I can see it though,
where he's thinking. He all like that as Blake trying
Do I really want to do that. I'm not going
(13:46):
to pull the trigger Quie yet on brock Stewart. Well,
brock Stewart, that's his thing, getting out right headed hitters.
It's really good at it, holding him to a one
h four batting average before coming over to the Dodgers today.
Gives up a running the ninth inning after the Dodgers
gave up two in the eighth and blew the lead.
This is a rough one for me to digest, Dodger
(14:07):
I fan, it really is. Showe a Otani did all
he could, the Dodgers bullpen let him down, and the
Dodgers offense was basically dormant after the fourth inning. Just
not a good day. And again, it's August. It's a
day game. It's hot. I get it. But folks, it's
a pennant race. It could be two games by the
time the Dodgers go into action Friday night and face
(14:30):
the Blue Jays. Oh, by the way, a first place
Blue Jays team atop the Al East. Eight sixty six
nine eight seven two five seventy. Let's go out to
the phones. I've said what I've gonnadd to say. Do
you agree or disagree? Eight sixty six nine, eight, seven, two,
five seventy. Let's go to Stevie in Belmont Shores start
(14:51):
things off here on this Wednesday afternoon. Cardinals come back
and beat the Dodgers five to three.
Speaker 6 (14:55):
How you do his TV?
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Hey, I'm doing good. I'm doing good. Yeah, everything a
spot on with what you say. There's a chink in
the Dodgers armor. They're not winning the series, these two
on a three series anymore. I think they're gonna limp
into the playoffs and that's gonna be their saving grace.
Once they get into the playoffs, I think their mindset
will change. So what's your thoughts on that.
Speaker 7 (15:19):
I don't think you have to wait till the playoffs
to change your mindset. I think the mindset right now
should be we are at a playoff race. We have
got to go out there and win every series. Again,
you're not going to win every game. You're just not right.
That's just not gonna happen. But but you gotta win series.
(15:40):
You have to win series, and this is one of
those series you have to take two to three because
if you win this game today, you at least keep
it at three games over the padres with the day
off tomorrow, and if the Diebacks take care of business,
you are four up, four up in the division going
into the series against the Blue Jays. Now you lose
a series, You're going into an off day thinking about it,
(16:04):
and you got to get ready for a first place
Blue Jays team this weekend, possibly clinging to a two
game lead.
Speaker 6 (16:09):
Over the Padres.
Speaker 7 (16:11):
It can change dramatically either way by just losing this
game today, losing the series eight six six nine eighty
seven two five seventy Ish Riverside, thanks for being patient,
welcome Ish.
Speaker 6 (16:22):
How are you doing today?
Speaker 5 (16:23):
Hey, no problem, man? What's going on?
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Ken?
Speaker 3 (16:26):
Dude?
Speaker 5 (16:26):
I appreciate that passion. Man, We're with you.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
I agree.
Speaker 5 (16:30):
I would say just the fight difference I would say
is with shove, you know, going maybe like an extra inning,
I think, but I want to roll it back to
like Sunday. It seems to kind of snowball. I think
you could have left Yamamoto in for one extra inning,
and you mentioned about trying, and he came in that
that game, I think in the later innings, and then
Dave had to pull him so again. So I think
(16:50):
I don't expect the Dodgers to change their their pitching philosophy.
But I think that that, you know, give a guy
an extra inning here and there so you don't have
to continue to burn the bullpen and kind of end
up the situation. But I do have a question for
you regarding a show. He's specifically pitching, right, so the
record is again we're not looking for him to do,
you know, go undefeated, you know, this season pitching, but
(17:13):
you know, we take the loss today. I mean to me,
there's not much value added. He just looks tired. His
his his average is dropping. You know, the ophers are
kind of like, you know, pineing up. What is your take? Man,
at what point would you shut down show hey and
just have him concentrated on the offense. I'll take my
coffee here. Thanks, you guys have a great rest.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
Of the day.
Speaker 7 (17:32):
Man, all right, thanks, I wouldn't do that at all.
Are you crazy? Shut him down from pitching?
Speaker 6 (17:37):
Okay?
Speaker 7 (17:37):
Now, if you were to say, let's take him out
of the rotation and make him the closer for the Dodgers,
all right, I'll have that conversation with you.
Speaker 6 (17:45):
But to say, at what point do we shut down show?
Speaker 8 (17:48):
Hey?
Speaker 6 (17:48):
Otani, You're crazy? That's that happening? Show hey.
Speaker 7 (17:52):
Yes, the offensive production has come down since he became
a pitcher.
Speaker 6 (17:56):
Again, there's no argument. The numbers speak for what they are.
Speaker 7 (17:59):
But today four innings, struck out eight didn't walk about it.
Command was there, okay, was getting out, was getting swinging missus.
One of the two hits he gave up was a
sun single that came around and scored an infield bunt
that brought in that run. That's how they scored off
of him. And by the way, he also hit a
(18:20):
two run home run to help him out his own
cause in the third inning. Now, if you want to
have a conversation about should show hey Be become the
closer come October? That's a conversation we could have that.
That to me is a realistic possibility. If you could
have an I don't know how you get there. Okay,
(18:43):
So let's just for that in a second. How do
the Dodgers get to that point where show Hay is
just then a closer for them come October. I'm not
smart enough. It's above my pay grade to figure out
how to do that. Now, I know how to get
a pitch are built up as a starter from a reliever.
(19:04):
How to say okay instead of pitching two out of
every four days or twice in a series. You're not
pitching every five days. And this is how we're gonna
build you up, and you keep building on innings and
pitch count until you get to a certain five innings
seventy five pitches. I understand that math, but not a
pitching coach. Don't claim to be one. How do you,
(19:26):
all of a sudden turn a guy into a closer?
How does he then get built up to pitch an
inning in a game and then come back the next
day or come back two days later.
Speaker 6 (19:36):
Now, certainly the.
Speaker 7 (19:37):
Spacing of the playoffs and days off helps out, but
again that's above my pay grade to figure out how
you do that. What is the philosophy and actual implementation
of making Show a Otania reliever come October? Because quite frankly,
I think that could be better served for the Dodgers
to make him a closer come October eight six, six, nine, eight, seven,
(20:02):
five seventy. Let's go to Ed and Whittier. Thanks for
being patient hanging on Ed. Dodgers lose to the Cardinals
five to three. Is the bullpen gives it up late
in this one?
Speaker 6 (20:10):
How you doing Ed.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Well?
Speaker 4 (20:13):
How are you?
Speaker 5 (20:13):
Can you hear me here?
Speaker 6 (20:14):
You great ed?
Speaker 9 (20:15):
Go ahead, appreciate it.
Speaker 10 (20:17):
Uh yeah, this one's a tough laws. I hope it
doesn't come back to bite the team right here, like
you're saying you have to beat the teams you're supposed
to beat. The Cardinals are lining right now, the sellers
at the deadline. Oh Tani get all he could do today.
I wouldn't take them out of the location. Even putting
them into the Bilton would be tough with Tin dadding
(20:40):
like you.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
Yeah, I mean don't.
Speaker 10 (20:41):
Don't you have to leave it like this? They have
to go ahead and build up with this. I mean
it's not like he just goes and pitchers a couple.
I mean, you guys get up and down.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
What do you think?
Speaker 7 (20:52):
Well, again, I don't know what the process is doing that.
I'm sure there is a way that you can make
a show hey into a reliever actually a closer in games.
I just don't know when that process starts or how
you do that process. If you're the Dodgers again, there's
got to be a way to figure it out, and
it could be as simple as well. These guys throwing
(21:12):
off days when they're not starting the game. Their bullpen
sessions could basically turn into live action on the field,
and instead of going out and throwing every five or
six days, now you can pitch every other day, because
that's what these guys are used to doing. Side sessions,
throwing off flat ground, throwing bullpen sessions, you know, three
days before start, whatever that routine is. You just turn
(21:34):
those side sessions, I guess, into actual in game appearances
in the ninth inning. Does it take away from his hitting? Well,
the only way I see that happens is if he's
due up in the eighth inning and you're asking to
come in.
Speaker 6 (21:46):
The ninth again.
Speaker 7 (21:48):
When you get to that problem, that's a good problem
to have and you figure it out as you go,
I guess. But between now and then, there's a lot
of baseball w W played and show Aotani is in this
rotation moving forward, six man rotation, I think it lines up.
Speaker 6 (22:02):
Really nicely for a six man rotation.
Speaker 7 (22:04):
I think it's perfect to give guys that extra day arrest,
especially Otani, especially Yadamamoto, especially a thirty seven year old
Clayton Kershaw, especially a Blank Snell coming off an injury,
especially at Tyler Glass. Now who's notorious for breaking down. Yeah,
(22:25):
he missed a lot of game action this year because
of the injury Tyler Glass.
Speaker 6 (22:29):
Now he's pitched great.
Speaker 7 (22:30):
Last thing I want to do is overwork him in
August and September so you don't have him again for
October like last year. Want to prevent that this year.
So a six man rotation even when rookie Susaki comes
back at the end of the month, which is projecting
like that, I guess, I hope, you know, we'll We'll
figure out what they do at that point as far
(22:52):
as the rotation is concerned. But today Otani did his part,
his one thousandth career hit, struck season high eight and
four innings.
Speaker 6 (23:02):
You can't ask.
Speaker 7 (23:03):
Much more from show Heyo Tani and he hands the
ball over to the bullpen in the fifth inning. Now,
you brought up a great point earlier. If show Heyotani
is working with a bullpen that's not at full strength
behind them, and guys have a day off and aren't available,
and you kind of know that in the back of
your mind. Well, Jesin Robleski's giving you three and you
(23:24):
got Vessia Stewart and Blake trying to behind him. Maybe
show Hey then is asked to go five. Maybe today
after striking out the side of the fourth inning fifty
four pitches, you have a three to one lead, maybe
you ask him to go back out there, or he
goes back out there for the fifth, and that way
you're asking the bullpen insteading had to cover five innings
and eighteen outs. They is that fight five times three?
(23:46):
That's fifteenth See I wasn't a math major. Okay, stop
looking at me, Colin.
Speaker 6 (23:51):
It was a history major.
Speaker 7 (23:52):
Instead of fifteen outs, you're now asking the bullpen to
get twelve outs.
Speaker 6 (23:56):
See, I can do simple subtraction.
Speaker 7 (23:58):
But as it is, he goes four, you turn it
over to the bullpen. Robleski gives up a run of
the six two in the eighth and the one more
in the ninth, and it fell apart for the Dodgers
and I five three loss. Let's take a quick time out.
We'll come back, we'll get to know your phone calls.

Speaker 4 (25:53):
It's time to go around the horn with Hose Moda.
Speaker 6 (25:57):
Jose and Is.
Speaker 7 (25:58):
Dodgers bullpen They've been great all season long up until
this series.
Speaker 6 (26:03):
They did not perform when the Dodgers needed them, especially today.
Speaker 7 (26:07):
Asked to cover the last five innings of this game,
the Dodgers bullpen in this three game series against the
Saint Louis Cardinals gave up eight earned runs, fourteen hits,
four walks, five strikeouts in eight innings of work.
Speaker 6 (26:23):
Today just not their day.
Speaker 9 (26:26):
Not their day. In the combination of things that you mentioned.
The Watts plays not being made at all accounts to
a bullpen that obviously has been overworked and overused because
of the lack of innings to begin the season from
the starter. So now you've seen the results of that,
even though truly and clearly speaking, they had a tremendous
run through the last road trip, but you can see
(26:47):
where you know, if they're forcing velocity, they're forcing location.
Things like that just didn't happen. In fact, Orbleski himself
was up in the zone pretty much all afternoon. I mean,
things could have gone worse against them, but it's unfortunate
when those things happen, because you know, the Dodgers need
to be better and winning these types of games, and
the Dodgers themselves offensively, tim need to be better on
(27:08):
beating bullpens and adding runs later in game and playing
the clearer game.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
There's so many things that we can.
Speaker 9 (27:14):
Point to today. The lack of budding ability from Freelom
to throw to second base, why did Pious throw the third?
Speaker 2 (27:20):
Things like that.
Speaker 9 (27:21):
You just go over and over again to tell you
that from here on, I really don't think it's going
to be like an out slugging of teams as it
was happening early in the season. It's going to be
out playing teams by playing smarter, playing cleaner, playing better,
be more proficient on the offensive side, on the pitching side,
and especially on the defensive side, because as you see
the Glass now throwing the ball well, Snell throwing the
(27:43):
ball well Hershew and company, and show, hey, those guys
are gonna need the best support defensively and also the
most proficient and efficient you know, outs, productive outs, moving
guys over and knowing that, you know, as the league
knows more about you the offensive side, you have to
make adjustments and go out and have better bets and.
Speaker 7 (28:03):
Take your walk, So you need to what did you
make a show hel Tani's performance on the mound today
with the eight strike because I thought the zero walks
was very impressive.
Speaker 9 (28:14):
Show did not throw one fastball over the middle of
the play. I mean that is pretty much the methodical
show hel Tony that does the work of making sure
that he's better each time out. Never found him excuse
last time about it with his hip, but we know
something was not right. He came out fine today at
one on one a few times and throwing quality strikes,
which is not what didn't happen later in the game.
(28:35):
But Shoe, you know, it takes a lot of pride
and proven to himself that if something went wrong, he
has the ability to fix it. And we saw it
again today. I mean it was like he was, you know,
for the contact, he pretty much hit the corners where
he needed to. Uh did not overthrow the fastball, but
it was coming so outside of his hand, and with
an outing like this one is it's, you know, truly
(28:56):
unfortunate that Dodgers didn't have more runs for him to
work with, even though he not they've got to win.
But I think he's ready for the next step. And
there's no doubt in my mind he wasn't next challenges.
It's going to be the one and give you five innings.
Speaker 7 (29:07):
Do you think this team understands that they're in a
fight now, that this Padres team is just nipping on
their heels, possibly two games back if they can win
tonight in an Arizona And what does that do to
a clubhouse like this Dodger's team, which has got a
lot of veterans and been through a lot of wars.
Speaker 9 (29:23):
Sim they're very aware of that. Obviously, they pay attention,
they watch the news. They know what's going on with
the Padres and the hate and all that kinds of things.
But games and series like recently the last months and
I have are the ones that you have to understand
that you got exposed for a reason. And the reason
is you have a team like the Padres. You know
that outside of the Padres, the challenge is not there really,
(29:46):
but you got to play good against everybody, and the
challenge is too when teams like the Cardinals, who have
a horrific herek away from home, come and give you
this kind of battle, you got to look inside yourself.
Because the Dodgers did not lose a series the Cardinals.
The Dodgers off the series to the Dodgers.
Speaker 6 (30:03):
Yeah, no doubt about it.
Speaker 7 (30:04):
Well, hopefully a day off they can regroup and get
ready because they better buckle up.
Speaker 6 (30:08):
Here come. The Toronto Blue Jays got more wins than the.
Speaker 7 (30:11):
Dodgers right now in the season and atop the Al East,
ahead of the Yankees, Red Sox and everybody else in
that division.
Speaker 6 (30:17):
Jose, enjoy the off day tomorrow and we'll uh, we'll
talk to you to this weekend.
Speaker 9 (30:21):
You got it, my friend, take it all right?
Speaker 7 (30:23):
There he goes Jose Mode eight sixty six nine eighty
seven two five seventy Dodgers fall to the Cardinals five
to three. Jordan was at the game this afternoon. Jordan,
thanks for being patient. Welcome to Dodger Talk.
Speaker 3 (30:35):
And I'm not I'm angry, Like I have my show. Hey,
Otani World Series ring on right now, you know what
I mean. Like, but I don't want to live in
the past. I want to live in the present. And
I want another ring. I want to I want another ring.
I want a twenty twenty five ring. I want one
that's over now, that's over.
Speaker 5 (30:58):
Now.
Speaker 3 (31:00):
What really upset me today is that I get to
the stadium and I look at the lineup and that
Months he's not in the lineup.
Speaker 4 (31:05):
Now.
Speaker 3 (31:05):
I understand we're easing him back in, man, but this
is the hot hand. You've got to ride the hot hand,
you know. I remember I remember Dave Roberts getting into
an argument with an umpire saying, you know, these new
guys have no feel. Well, where's his feel? Where's your feel?
Why not play the hot hand?
Speaker 1 (31:23):
Man?
Speaker 3 (31:23):
You see what Months he does. He he agitates the
other the starting pitchers, he gets you know, he takes pitches,
he takes good pitches, he fouls off good pitches. We
need that in the lineup. I don't see us winning
games without Monthly. It's like when like when Will Smith
isn't in the lineup. It's the same kind of thing,
you know, And I get it. Look, I understand that
(31:45):
this team, you know, is still heavily into analytics, and
I know that this is the Dodgers radio station, you
know what I mean. But I want to be I
want to be critical of the entire organization and their
philosophies right now. I think it was it was it
worked to have this kind of philosophy and this moneyball
thing with money moneyball and money plus money. But I
(32:09):
think people are the league is catching up. We need
to figure out the next thing to do, and and
and and I'll take you know, I'll take your comments
off there. I don't have a question, all right. I'm
just pissed because I'm just mad because I have this
ring in my pocket. I've got this cool ring and
it's like so awesome, and Show Hey was so amazing,
And sometimes I feel like Show Hey is a side show.
(32:29):
There's Show Hey, and then there's the Dodgers, and it's
I don't know if it's distracting, is it distracting to
the team. Is it distracting? Is it should he just
be a hitter? You know what I mean, I think
about that stuff.
Speaker 7 (32:41):
I don't think it's a distraction, Jordan. I appreciate the
phone call. I hear your your your frustration. Absolutely absolutely,
and I congratulations on getting a ring.
Speaker 3 (32:49):
One word.
Speaker 7 (32:49):
That's like Max Munsey, I don't have an argue with
what you said a day game after a night game.
I know he's coming back off the injury list, but
you got a day off tomorrow that he could very
easily be off.
Speaker 6 (33:00):
And I know this was planned.
Speaker 7 (33:02):
Okay, this wasn't just a rash decision where they decided,
all right, let's get to the ballpark. Yeah, Mexica get
the day off. This was already scheduled a couple of
days in advance. So what he did last night, certainly
you think, wow, it'd be great to have him back
on the lap. Oh not in the lineup today. There
goes that momentum he was riding from last night. The
Dodger scored twelve runs last night. Everybody got involved. Today
(33:23):
the Dodgers scored three runs in the first four innings,
had six hits. We're feeling pretty good about the way
they were swinging the bat, turned the ball over the bullpit,
and then the offense just turned off the spickett two
hits the rest of the way. That was it, and
they didn't draw the walks. They had two walks, one
of which came from Max Munsey as a pinch hitter
late in this game, so in the other one came
from show Heyo Tani. What this team does well is
(33:45):
get on base past the baton. They don't necessarily have
to hit the three run home run every single time.
It helps, certainly, but today you just didn't see good
at bats after the fourth inning, and when you're not
getting production from Rojas, Alex frielan goes oh for fourth
to plate and it's even more frustrating to see shoey
(34:05):
o Town. He's standing in the on deck circle, you know,
with two outs of the ninth inning, and you can't
get to him for a chance to win the game
or tie the game with a home run. So again,
I understand your frustration. I am one hundred percent with
you today, and especially at this time of the season.
You know, you gotta buckle up, you gotta be ready
(34:26):
to go, because this was a series the Dodgers needed
to win. You have to beat the Cardinals. They're a
team that is eight games under five hundred now on
the road. They are a five hundred team overall in
the season. You have to take two or three from them.
You just have to. And the fact that you lose
today's game and now the lead the division could be
(34:48):
down to two and the Blue Jays are coming to town.
Better get ready, John and west La is next up
here on Dodger Talk.
Speaker 6 (34:55):
John, Welcome, Are you.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
Doing what's going on?
Speaker 10 (34:58):
TC?
Speaker 8 (34:59):
I was at the game and I was sitting right.
Speaker 1 (35:02):
Behind to the Cardinals dugout three rows behind. And you know,
for the Dodgers today, the mindsoft looked soft. I mean
the Kundos they were focused and intense on getting this win.
The Dodger dug out, it looked like they were already
thinking about their day off tomorrow. And you know you
mentioned the little things. The Dodgers don't do the little things.
(35:23):
They rarely ever play small ball. Every big leader should
be able to bunt. The two bullet temps by Freeling
were horrible. He had no bend in his knees to
adjust to the.
Speaker 5 (35:33):
Ball, and he didn't get on top of the ball
to direct.
Speaker 1 (35:35):
It to the ground. So I mean that's the thing they.
Speaker 8 (35:39):
Need to focus on.
Speaker 1 (35:40):
If you get in a situation where you need a
butt and you got.
Speaker 8 (35:42):
A guy who can't put down a bun, it's just
not a good thing to do for the team and
you're not doing your job as a coach. And the
last thing, Andrew Friedman, he rarely takes any criticisms for
his moves. He acquired two high priced arms in the
bullpen that had been very bad for us in Tanno
(36:02):
Scott and Kirby Yates, and signed him to multiple years, so.
Speaker 5 (36:07):
He needed to take a little heat for some of
his moves too.
Speaker 7 (36:10):
All right, appreciate the phone call, John, thanks for checking in.
As it is pointed out to me by David Vesta.
Thank you DV for the text. Max Munsey including the
minor league rehab assignments. He played four straight days in
TRIPLEA Oklahoma City. He had the two games to start
this series. It was six games in a row for
Max Monty. That's why it was predetermined that this would
(36:31):
be the day off. So you can give him back
to back days basically off his feet today in the
off day tomorrow. So that is the exclamation why he
did not get the start, and again it was a
scheduled day off for Max Munsey. Let's wrap things up
with Blake, our good friend in Colorado. Blake, my man,
how's your Wednesday afternoon going.
Speaker 5 (36:51):
Good?
Speaker 2 (36:52):
Why would I hold it so long?
Speaker 6 (36:54):
That's a good question, Blake.
Speaker 7 (36:55):
A lot of angry Dodger fans this afternoon, kind of frustrated.
I think Moore is the better way to describe it.
But we're glad we're able to get you on today.
Speaker 10 (37:02):

All right, check him out on YouTube, Blake Salazar looking
for a lot of cool content out there.
Speaker 6 (37:18):
Blake, all right, we'll check it out.
Speaker 4 (37:20):
Okay, we' are you going to be back on?
Speaker 6 (37:22):

believe so.
Speaker 7 (37:25):
But David Vasse returns on Friday night and he's got
off night tomorrow night as well, Blake, So have a
great afternoons.
Speaker 6 (37:31):
My man.
Speaker 8 (37:33):

Speaker 7 (38:07):
Yoshinobu Yamamoto on a Sunday in the final game of
this homestand top one for the Dodgers today, they drop
one to the Cardinals, five to three. The Dodgers had
a three to one lead, but the bullpen gives it
up for the sixth, Two more in the eighth, and
then the run of the ninth is the Cardinals take
two to three at Dodgers Stadium, and as we speak
to Dodgers clinging to a.
Speaker 6 (38:27):
Two and a half game lead in the NL West.

Speaker 5 (00:32):
Sure, old time to the sound grab your phone.
Speaker 4 (00:36):
To get in on the show called eight six six
nine eighty seven two five seven.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
And go to the show.
Speaker 4 (00:41):
And now your host of Dodger Talk, Tim Kakes.
Speaker 6 (00:46):
Not a good day for.
Speaker 7 (00:47):
The Dodgers, especially the bullfin, which has been so good
all season, and it's picked up this pitching staff the
entire twenty twenty five baseball season. Today wasn't their day,
as show Hey Otani handed over a three to one
lead to the bullpen from the fifth inning on, and
the Dodgers' bullpen just could not deliver. In fact, the sixth, seventh, eighth,
(01:11):
and ninth inning, the leadoff batter was on every inning
for the Saint Louis Cardinals. Meanwhile, you go back to
what Showeyotani was doing, limiting the first batter of every
inning except for the sunball in the third inning. He
had eight strikeouts, no walks, helped himself out when the
offense didn't do anything the first three innings. He came
through with a two run home run. The Dodgers got
(01:33):
some help on a flop play that a ball goes
off the bat of Miguel Rojas on a steel attempt
to third and incomes Andy Paez. Dodgers took care of
business early on thanks to show Heyo Tani. They took
advantage of a miscue from the Saint Louis Cardinals in
that fourth inning to take a three to one lead,
and then things completely flipped. You can see the momentum
(01:53):
of the game completely change as the offense went dormant
two hits the rest of the way. Meanwhile, the dodd
bullpen struggled to get out early.
Speaker 6 (02:05):
A lead off walking.
Speaker 7 (02:06):
The sixth proved to be bad for Justin Robleski in
the seventh inning, a lead off single a sack bunt.
He was able to work around it. And get out
of the seventh inning no damage done.
Speaker 6 (02:16):
In the eighth inning, a.
Speaker 7 (02:18):
Leadoff single given up by Alex Vesia and then a
mis cue by Alex Freelan on a single from Jordan
Walker didn't help out his cause either, as the Cardinals
took the lead, and then Brock Stewart, who came in
in the ninth inning, gave up a single hit the
batter the first two batters he faced in the ninth
and what should have been a four to three game
going to the bottom half of the ninth inning.
Speaker 6 (02:39):
You've got to put up a zero in.
Speaker 7 (02:41):
That top half of the ninth inning to stop the momentum,
first off offensively by the Cardinals, and two to keep
it a one run game, so you have a chance
to get a lead off runner on, get some speed
out there, maybe with a pinch runner, and tie this
bad boy up. Instead the Dodgers chasing two, it's tough
and they had to go ahead run at first base
(03:04):
and could not get.
Speaker 6 (03:06):
It done in the ninth inning.
Speaker 7 (03:09):
Dodgers lose five to three to the Saint Louis Cardinals,
dropping two of three to Saint Louis and don't look now,
the leading the division is getting smaller and smaller. The
San Diego Padres aren't going away, folks. There are here
for the rest of the season, and this is gonna
be a tight race moving forward.
Speaker 6 (03:31):
There's gonna be no room for air.
Speaker 7 (03:33):
In fact, I think whatever team blinks first, as far
as loses back to back series, maybe drops eight of ten,
seven of ten. Whatever team does that first, the Dodgers
of the Padres, the other team's gonna take a huge
advantage in the division.
Speaker 6 (03:51):
I think moving.
Speaker 7 (03:52):
Forward, which team blinks first and goes into a rut
a tailspin, that will be the difference in who wins
this division between the Dodgers and the Podgers. The Padres
aren't going anywhere. They're playing hot. They need to cool
off at some point.
Speaker 6 (04:07):
They just have to.
Speaker 7 (04:08):
They've won eight of ten the Dodgers. Mean, while playing
five hundred baseball, and what was a nine game lead
was down to six, was down to five, was down
to four, and now within the week it could be
down to two. The Padres win tonight in Arizona. I
said it on Sunday when the Dodgers played the finale
in Tampa. I said it last week and they played
the series finale in Cincinnati. The Dodgers have to clean
(04:32):
it up. The Dodgers have to be the better team defensively,
and the bullpen has to stop walking guys. You just
got to play better baseball. Last year, the Dodgers did that,
and their talent alone will win them a lot of games.
But you start giving the other team opportunities. You start
(04:53):
opening the door to bad teams, sub five hundred teams,
teams like the Saint Louis Cardinals, who are a team.
You give them opportunities by losing a ball in the sun. Okay,
it happens, a bunt single to bring in a run.
That's just fundamentally lacking right there for the Dodgers, not
making the play. And then you've got bad throw in
(05:16):
the eighth. You've got relief pitchers walking guys, giving up
a hit to lead off an inning. That is a
recipe for disaster. And for the Dodgers, these miscues, these.
Speaker 6 (05:33):
These these these.
Speaker 7 (05:35):
Plays that they should be making and aren't. The inability
of the bullpen to be efficient like they're supposed to,
it's a problem, it really is. And when you start
seeing the lead in the division get smaller and smaller,
the Dodgers now find themselves in a real street fight.
They find them in a real brawl now with a
(05:56):
Padres who would love nothing more than to get into
a fight with the Dodgers.
Speaker 6 (06:00):
Now they poke the bear, They poke the bear.
Speaker 7 (06:03):
They keep saying stuff you're HEARDing Mason Miller talk about
he got traded from the A's of the Padres, and
first thing he was told in the clubhouse was, you don't.
Speaker 6 (06:11):
Like the Dodgers. We have a rivalry with the Dodgers.
You're not to like them anymore.
Speaker 7 (06:16):
Okay, they hate the Dodgers. They were coming right out
to chase the Dodgers, and the Dodgers better wake up defensively,
fundamentally and buckle up here for the stretch run. It's
August sixth. It is August sixth. You do not have
a thirteen game lead in the division. You have a
(06:38):
two and a half game lead as we speak. There's
the room for error is getting smaller and smaller for
the Dodgers. They better figure it out, and figure it
out fast and clean up this game that they're playing.
They really do. I don't mean to be harsh, but
you can't play the way the Dodgers are playing and
(06:59):
think you're gonna be a championship team in October. You
have to do the little things right. You have to
play baseball clean. You have to go out and do
your job, and that's little things like not walking a
lead off batter, hitting the right cutoff man, getting into
the right spot for a relay, knowing where you're supposed
(07:20):
to throw the baseball instead of throwing to third, and
allowing the runner to advance the second and then the
third basement.
Speaker 6 (07:26):
Hey, Alex Freeland tried to make a play.
Speaker 7 (07:28):
I don't fault him for it, but he makes a
bad throw, gets away from Mickey Row and the run,
the go ahead run comes into score. Probably should have
kept it in his back pocket and not thrown made.
The throw was a bad throw and the go ahead
run scores. The difference between a win and a loss
at this level could meet could it could be a
(07:51):
bad throw here, a misqueue there, an air. Little things
like that make a difference in a game. You do
it multiple time in a game, you're probably gonna lose.
Even if you got a three to one lead, like
the Dodgers did today, they gave it up. Sho Hey
Otani did basically all he could. I mean, he went
(08:13):
one for three at the plate on base of the
walk as well hit a two run home run. Okay,
with outside of him going three for three from the
plate with home runs in every bat. He literally did
all he could do. Four innings on the mound, one run,
two hits. One of the hits was a sun single
that would come around and score in the third eight
punch outs. He struck out the side in the fourth
(08:35):
inning and was nasty. How many walks for show?
Speaker 6 (08:38):
Hey? Zero? Zero walks for show? Hey? On fifty four pitches.
Speaker 7 (08:43):
Now, I'm gonna beat you to the punch, Dodger fan,
because I've already seen it, asked on Twitter, I'm gonna
beat you to the punch when you're gonna ask why
didn't he pitch more? Why did he come out of
the game after four innings? Could he have gone to
the fifth?
Speaker 6 (09:03):
Probably?
Speaker 7 (09:04):
But now he's in the fifty pitch rangs fifty four
to be exact. Today, the Dodgers a three to one lead.
You feel like the offense is cranking right there. They've
got three runs on six hits so far through four innings.
You kind of feel good about the offense after the
last night's twelve run pounding of the Cardinals, and you're
(09:25):
up three to one through four innings and you hadn't
got anything really from outside of show Hey Otani in those.
Speaker 6 (09:31):
First four innings.
Speaker 7 (09:32):
If you're Dave Roberts, you're feeling pretty good about Okay,
got a lead, my offense is gonna be there, They're
gonna tack on more runs, and my bullpen has carried us.
Speaker 6 (09:42):
Feel pretty good about that.
Speaker 7 (09:45):
Well, the offense completely went into shutdown mode. Two hits
the rest of the way against the Cardinals, Matt Libratorre
and then the bullpen Justin Robleski. Well, the sixth inning
fell apart, thinning Alex Vesia struggled, and the ninth inning,
brock Stewart gave up a run, a huge insurance run
(10:08):
for the Saint Louis Cardinals to go up five to three,
and that would be the final score. You heard Dave
robertson the post game. I want to bring it up
before we get out to the phones, because Colin E
and I were talking about this as well. You're in
the eighth inning of a tight game this afternoon. Alex
Vessi is out there working his tail off. Burlison as
(10:28):
single to lead off the inning, Lars Newpar on one
pitch flies out to center. Three pitches into the third
and the eighth inning, alex Vesia faces Mason Win, who
then proceeds to have a ten pitch at bat in
which he fouled off one, two, three, four, five six
pitches and then singles on the tenth pitch of the bat.
(10:53):
The long at bat, the long time for alex Vesio
to be battling Mason Win, and Win wins the battle.
Speaker 6 (11:01):
Okay, Poso comes up.
Speaker 7 (11:05):
Vessia falls behind two to one, probably gassed still from
that ten pitch of bat, gets one, two, three, four
straight foul balls off the bat of Poso, before on
the eighth pitch a bat of that vat he flies
out eight team pitches to back to back hitters. So
now you've got two on, two out and Jordan Walker
(11:29):
come into the plate and an Alex Vessia who has
now grinded through one, two, three, four batters. Dave Roberts
was asked in the postgame show in the moment Colin
and I were saying, why not go to brock Stewart here,
he's mister dominate right handed hitters. Well, it's a one
(11:53):
run game, you're up three to two, two outs, eighth inning,
runners on first and second, and the right headed hit
Jordan Walker up to bat. Now if they make a
change and bringing a pinch hitter, okay, but you don't
go to brock Stewart. Instead, you keep Vessie out there
and on an eighty six mile an hour slider over
(12:14):
the middle of the plate of the third pitch to Walker,
he hits at the left center field for a single.
Throwing air from Freeland brings in win and all of
a sudden, a three to two Dodger lead. The Dodgers
are chasing a run still two out in the eighth inning,
and Alex Vessia stays out there to get the final out.
Then you go to the ninth inning to brock Stewart
(12:37):
to hopefully keep it a four to three game.
Speaker 6 (12:38):
He gives up a run, and how it's a five
to three game?
Speaker 7 (12:41):
Dave Roberts. His answer was, didn't have enough guys in
the bullpen. Blake Tryning was down there left. So if
you go to brock Stewart and he gets Jordan Walker, okay,
let's assuming he gets him out.
Speaker 6 (12:52):
Still a three to two Dodgers lead crisis, averted.
Speaker 7 (12:56):
You go to the ninth inning and you've got Blake
trying it out there, there's two outings for Blake Trining.
Speaker 6 (13:01):
He's had to come out and get him.
Speaker 7 (13:03):
Dave Roberts has had to do that because Blake trying
to has struggled to get out of the inning. And
if that's all you've got down there in the bullpen,
Dave Roberts said, he's thinking ahead, thinking projecting, well, if
we need to go to extra innings, we got nobody
down there. Okay, you can look at it that way,
or you can look at it as I want to
win the game. It's a three to two game at
this point. We got a guy we acquired to get
(13:25):
right handed hitters out. Let's bring him in to get
the final out and then take it after that in
the ninth inning. Maybe who knows, the Dodgers come out
the bottom of the eighth, tack on a couple runs,
and you give Blake Trinon a two or three run
advantage to work with instead of a one run lead.
We don't know what happens. I can see it though,
where he's thinking. He all like that as Blake trying
Do I really want to do that. I'm not going
(13:46):
to pull the trigger Quie yet on brock Stewart. Well,
brock Stewart, that's his thing, getting out right headed hitters.
It's really good at it, holding him to a one
h four batting average before coming over to the Dodgers today.
Gives up a running the ninth inning after the Dodgers
gave up two in the eighth and blew the lead.
This is a rough one for me to digest, Dodger
(14:07):
I fan, it really is. Showe a Otani did all
he could, the Dodgers bullpen let him down, and the
Dodgers offense was basically dormant after the fourth inning. Just
not a good day. And again, it's August. It's a
day game. It's hot. I get it. But folks, it's
a pennant race. It could be two games by the
time the Dodgers go into action Friday night and face
(14:30):
the Blue Jays. Oh, by the way, a first place
Blue Jays team atop the Al East. Eight sixty six
nine eight seven two five seventy. Let's go out to
the phones. I've said what I've gonnadd to say. Do
you agree or disagree? Eight sixty six nine, eight, seven, two,
five seventy. Let's go to Stevie in Belmont Shores start
(14:51):
things off here on this Wednesday afternoon. Cardinals come back
and beat the Dodgers five to three.
Speaker 6 (14:55):
How you do his TV?
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Hey, I'm doing good. I'm doing good. Yeah, everything a
spot on with what you say. There's a chink in
the Dodgers armor. They're not winning the series, these two
on a three series anymore. I think they're gonna limp
into the playoffs and that's gonna be their saving grace.
Once they get into the playoffs, I think their mindset
will change. So what's your thoughts on that.
Speaker 7 (15:19):
I don't think you have to wait till the playoffs
to change your mindset. I think the mindset right now
should be we are at a playoff race. We have
got to go out there and win every series. Again,
you're not going to win every game. You're just not right.
That's just not gonna happen. But but you gotta win series.
(15:40):
You have to win series, and this is one of
those series you have to take two to three because
if you win this game today, you at least keep
it at three games over the padres with the day
off tomorrow, and if the Diebacks take care of business,
you are four up, four up in the division going
into the series against the Blue Jays. Now you lose
a series, You're going into an off day thinking about it,
(16:04):
and you got to get ready for a first place
Blue Jays team this weekend, possibly clinging to a two
game lead.
Speaker 6 (16:09):
Over the Padres.
Speaker 7 (16:11):
It can change dramatically either way by just losing this
game today, losing the series eight six six nine eighty
seven two five seventy Ish Riverside, thanks for being patient,
welcome Ish.
Speaker 6 (16:22):
How are you doing today?
Speaker 5 (16:23):
Hey, no problem, man? What's going on?
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Ken?
Speaker 3 (16:26):
Dude?
Speaker 5 (16:26):
I appreciate that passion. Man, We're with you.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
I agree.
Speaker 5 (16:30):
I would say just the fight difference I would say
is with shove, you know, going maybe like an extra inning,
I think, but I want to roll it back to
like Sunday. It seems to kind of snowball. I think
you could have left Yamamoto in for one extra inning,
and you mentioned about trying, and he came in that
that game, I think in the later innings, and then
Dave had to pull him so again. So I think
(16:50):
I don't expect the Dodgers to change their their pitching philosophy.
But I think that that, you know, give a guy
an extra inning here and there so you don't have
to continue to burn the bullpen and kind of end
up the situation. But I do have a question for
you regarding a show. He's specifically pitching, right, so the
record is again we're not looking for him to do,
you know, go undefeated, you know, this season pitching, but
(17:13):
you know, we take the loss today. I mean to me,
there's not much value added. He just looks tired. His
his his average is dropping. You know, the ophers are
kind of like, you know, pineing up. What is your take? Man,
at what point would you shut down show hey and
just have him concentrated on the offense. I'll take my
coffee here. Thanks, you guys have a great rest.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
Of the day.
Speaker 7 (17:32):
Man, all right, thanks, I wouldn't do that at all.
Are you crazy? Shut him down from pitching?
Speaker 6 (17:37):
Okay?
Speaker 7 (17:37):
Now, if you were to say, let's take him out
of the rotation and make him the closer for the Dodgers,
all right, I'll have that conversation with you.
Speaker 6 (17:45):
But to say, at what point do we shut down show?
Speaker 8 (17:48):
Hey?
Speaker 6 (17:48):
Otani, You're crazy? That's that happening? Show hey.
Speaker 7 (17:52):
Yes, the offensive production has come down since he became
a pitcher.
Speaker 6 (17:56):
Again, there's no argument. The numbers speak for what they are.
Speaker 7 (17:59):
But today four innings, struck out eight didn't walk about it.
Command was there, okay, was getting out, was getting swinging missus.
One of the two hits he gave up was a
sun single that came around and scored an infield bunt
that brought in that run. That's how they scored off
of him. And by the way, he also hit a
(18:20):
two run home run to help him out his own
cause in the third inning. Now, if you want to
have a conversation about should show hey Be become the
closer come October? That's a conversation we could have that.
That to me is a realistic possibility. If you could
have an I don't know how you get there. Okay,
(18:43):
So let's just for that in a second. How do
the Dodgers get to that point where show Hay is
just then a closer for them come October. I'm not
smart enough. It's above my pay grade to figure out
how to do that. Now, I know how to get
a pitch are built up as a starter from a reliever.
(19:04):
How to say okay instead of pitching two out of
every four days or twice in a series. You're not
pitching every five days. And this is how we're gonna
build you up, and you keep building on innings and
pitch count until you get to a certain five innings
seventy five pitches. I understand that math, but not a
pitching coach. Don't claim to be one. How do you,
(19:26):
all of a sudden turn a guy into a closer?
How does he then get built up to pitch an
inning in a game and then come back the next
day or come back two days later.
Speaker 6 (19:36):
Now, certainly the.
Speaker 7 (19:37):
Spacing of the playoffs and days off helps out, but
again that's above my pay grade to figure out how
you do that. What is the philosophy and actual implementation
of making Show a Otania reliever come October? Because quite frankly,
I think that could be better served for the Dodgers
to make him a closer come October eight six, six, nine, eight, seven,
(20:02):
five seventy. Let's go to Ed and Whittier. Thanks for
being patient hanging on Ed. Dodgers lose to the Cardinals
five to three. Is the bullpen gives it up late
in this one?
Speaker 6 (20:10):
How you doing Ed.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Well?
Speaker 4 (20:13):
How are you?
Speaker 5 (20:13):
Can you hear me here?
Speaker 6 (20:14):
You great ed?
Speaker 9 (20:15):
Go ahead, appreciate it.
Speaker 10 (20:17):
Uh yeah, this one's a tough laws. I hope it
doesn't come back to bite the team right here, like
you're saying you have to beat the teams you're supposed
to beat. The Cardinals are lining right now, the sellers
at the deadline. Oh Tani get all he could do today.
I wouldn't take them out of the location. Even putting
them into the Bilton would be tough with Tin dadding
(20:40):
like you.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
Yeah, I mean don't.
Speaker 10 (20:41):
Don't you have to leave it like this? They have
to go ahead and build up with this. I mean
it's not like he just goes and pitchers a couple.
I mean, you guys get up and down.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
What do you think?
Speaker 7 (20:52):
Well, again, I don't know what the process is doing that.
I'm sure there is a way that you can make
a show hey into a reliever actually a closer in games.
I just don't know when that process starts or how
you do that process. If you're the Dodgers again, there's
got to be a way to figure it out, and
it could be as simple as well. These guys throwing
(21:12):
off days when they're not starting the game. Their bullpen
sessions could basically turn into live action on the field,
and instead of going out and throwing every five or
six days, now you can pitch every other day, because
that's what these guys are used to doing. Side sessions,
throwing off flat ground, throwing bullpen sessions, you know, three
days before start, whatever that routine is. You just turn
(21:34):
those side sessions, I guess, into actual in game appearances
in the ninth inning. Does it take away from his hitting? Well,
the only way I see that happens is if he's
due up in the eighth inning and you're asking to
come in.
Speaker 6 (21:46):
The ninth again.
Speaker 7 (21:48):
When you get to that problem, that's a good problem
to have and you figure it out as you go,
I guess. But between now and then, there's a lot
of baseball w W played and show Aotani is in this
rotation moving forward, six man rotation, I think it lines up.
Speaker 6 (22:02):
Really nicely for a six man rotation.
Speaker 7 (22:04):
I think it's perfect to give guys that extra day arrest,
especially Otani, especially Yadamamoto, especially a thirty seven year old
Clayton Kershaw, especially a Blank Snell coming off an injury,
especially at Tyler Glass. Now who's notorious for breaking down. Yeah,
(22:25):
he missed a lot of game action this year because
of the injury Tyler Glass.
Speaker 6 (22:29):
Now he's pitched great.
Speaker 7 (22:30):
Last thing I want to do is overwork him in
August and September so you don't have him again for
October like last year. Want to prevent that this year.
So a six man rotation even when rookie Susaki comes
back at the end of the month, which is projecting
like that, I guess, I hope, you know, we'll We'll
figure out what they do at that point as far
(22:52):
as the rotation is concerned. But today Otani did his part,
his one thousandth career hit, struck season high eight and
four innings.
Speaker 6 (23:02):
You can't ask.
Speaker 7 (23:03):
Much more from show Heyo Tani and he hands the
ball over to the bullpen in the fifth inning. Now,
you brought up a great point earlier. If show Heyotani
is working with a bullpen that's not at full strength
behind them, and guys have a day off and aren't available,
and you kind of know that in the back of
your mind. Well, Jesin Robleski's giving you three and you
(23:24):
got Vessia Stewart and Blake trying to behind him. Maybe
show Hey then is asked to go five. Maybe today
after striking out the side of the fourth inning fifty
four pitches, you have a three to one lead, maybe
you ask him to go back out there, or he
goes back out there for the fifth, and that way
you're asking the bullpen insteading had to cover five innings
and eighteen outs. They is that fight five times three?
(23:46):
That's fifteenth See I wasn't a math major. Okay, stop
looking at me, Colin.
Speaker 6 (23:51):
It was a history major.
Speaker 7 (23:52):
Instead of fifteen outs, you're now asking the bullpen to
get twelve outs.
Speaker 6 (23:56):
See, I can do simple subtraction.
Speaker 7 (23:58):
But as it is, he goes four, you turn it
over to the bullpen. Robleski gives up a run of
the six two in the eighth and the one more
in the ninth, and it fell apart for the Dodgers
and I five three loss. Let's take a quick time out.
We'll come back, we'll get to know your phone calls.
We'll check in with Jose as well, and we'll turn
things over to Petros and money coming up at the
bottom of the hour. Tough one for the Dodgers. It
blew a three to one lead. Bullpen gives it up
(24:20):
in the sixth, eighth and ninth in the Dodgers offense.

Early on turned it over to the bullpen, but they

inning off Matt Livertour for the Dodgers show Hey Otani

Speaker 4 (25:53):
It's time to go around the horn with Hose Moda.
Speaker 6 (25:57):
Jose and Is.
Speaker 7 (25:58):
Dodgers bullpen They've been great all season long up until
this series.
Speaker 6 (26:03):
They did not perform when the Dodgers needed them, especially today.
Speaker 7 (26:07):
Asked to cover the last five innings of this game,
the Dodgers bullpen in this three game series against the
Saint Louis Cardinals gave up eight earned runs, fourteen hits,
four walks, five strikeouts in eight innings of work.
Speaker 6 (26:23):
Today just not their day.
Speaker 9 (26:26):
Not their day. In the combination of things that you mentioned.
The Watts plays not being made at all accounts to
a bullpen that obviously has been overworked and overused because
of the lack of innings to begin the season from
the starter. So now you've seen the results of that,
even though truly and clearly speaking, they had a tremendous
run through the last road trip, but you can see
(26:47):
where you know, if they're forcing velocity, they're forcing location.
Things like that just didn't happen. In fact, Orbleski himself
was up in the zone pretty much all afternoon. I mean,
things could have gone worse against them, but it's unfortunate
when those things happen, because you know, the Dodgers need
to be better and winning these types of games, and
the Dodgers themselves offensively, tim need to be better on
(27:08):
beating bullpens and adding runs later in game and playing
the clearer game.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
There's so many things that we can.
Speaker 9 (27:14):
Point to today. The lack of budding ability from Freelom
to throw to second base, why did Pious throw the third?
Speaker 2 (27:20):
Things like that.
Speaker 9 (27:21):
You just go over and over again to tell you
that from here on, I really don't think it's going
to be like an out slugging of teams as it
was happening early in the season. It's going to be
out playing teams by playing smarter, playing cleaner, playing better,
be more proficient on the offensive side, on the pitching side,
and especially on the defensive side, because as you see
the Glass now throwing the ball well, Snell throwing the
(27:43):
ball well Hershew and company, and show, hey, those guys
are gonna need the best support defensively and also the
most proficient and efficient you know, outs, productive outs, moving
guys over and knowing that, you know, as the league
knows more about you the offensive side, you have to
make adjustments and go out and have better bets and.
Speaker 7 (28:03):
Take your walk, So you need to what did you
make a show hel Tani's performance on the mound today
with the eight strike because I thought the zero walks
was very impressive.
Speaker 9 (28:14):
Show did not throw one fastball over the middle of
the play. I mean that is pretty much the methodical
show hel Tony that does the work of making sure
that he's better each time out. Never found him excuse
last time about it with his hip, but we know
something was not right. He came out fine today at
one on one a few times and throwing quality strikes,
which is not what didn't happen later in the game.
(28:35):
But Shoe, you know, it takes a lot of pride
and proven to himself that if something went wrong, he
has the ability to fix it. And we saw it
again today. I mean it was like he was, you know,
for the contact, he pretty much hit the corners where
he needed to. Uh did not overthrow the fastball, but
it was coming so outside of his hand, and with
an outing like this one is it's, you know, truly
(28:56):
unfortunate that Dodgers didn't have more runs for him to
work with, even though he not they've got to win.
But I think he's ready for the next step. And
there's no doubt in my mind he wasn't next challenges.
It's going to be the one and give you five innings.
Speaker 7 (29:07):
Do you think this team understands that they're in a
fight now, that this Padres team is just nipping on
their heels, possibly two games back if they can win
tonight in an Arizona And what does that do to
a clubhouse like this Dodger's team, which has got a
lot of veterans and been through a lot of wars.
Speaker 9 (29:23):
Sim they're very aware of that. Obviously, they pay attention,
they watch the news. They know what's going on with
the Padres and the hate and all that kinds of things.
But games and series like recently the last months and
I have are the ones that you have to understand
that you got exposed for a reason. And the reason
is you have a team like the Padres. You know
that outside of the Padres, the challenge is not there really,
(29:46):
but you got to play good against everybody, and the
challenge is too when teams like the Cardinals, who have
a horrific herek away from home, come and give you
this kind of battle, you got to look inside yourself.
Because the Dodgers did not lose a series the Cardinals.
The Dodgers off the series to the Dodgers.
Speaker 6 (30:03):
Yeah, no doubt about it.
Speaker 7 (30:04):
Well, hopefully a day off they can regroup and get
ready because they better buckle up.
Speaker 6 (30:08):
Here come. The Toronto Blue Jays got more wins than the.
Speaker 7 (30:11):
Dodgers right now in the season and atop the Al East,
ahead of the Yankees, Red Sox and everybody else in
that division.
Speaker 6 (30:17):
Jose, enjoy the off day tomorrow and we'll uh, we'll
talk to you to this weekend.
Speaker 9 (30:21):
You got it, my friend, take it all right?
Speaker 7 (30:23):
There he goes Jose Mode eight sixty six nine eighty
seven two five seventy Dodgers fall to the Cardinals five
to three. Jordan was at the game this afternoon. Jordan,
thanks for being patient. Welcome to Dodger Talk.
Speaker 3 (30:35):
And I'm not I'm angry, Like I have my show. Hey,
Otani World Series ring on right now, you know what
I mean. Like, but I don't want to live in
the past. I want to live in the present. And
I want another ring. I want to I want another ring.
I want a twenty twenty five ring. I want one
that's over now, that's over.
Speaker 5 (30:58):
Now.
Speaker 3 (31:00):
What really upset me today is that I get to
the stadium and I look at the lineup and that
Months he's not in the lineup.
Speaker 4 (31:05):
Now.
Speaker 3 (31:05):
I understand we're easing him back in, man, but this
is the hot hand. You've got to ride the hot hand,
you know. I remember I remember Dave Roberts getting into
an argument with an umpire saying, you know, these new
guys have no feel. Well, where's his feel? Where's your feel?
Why not play the hot hand?
Speaker 1 (31:23):
Man?
Speaker 3 (31:23):
You see what Months he does. He he agitates the
other the starting pitchers, he gets you know, he takes pitches,
he takes good pitches, he fouls off good pitches. We
need that in the lineup. I don't see us winning
games without Monthly. It's like when like when Will Smith
isn't in the lineup. It's the same kind of thing,
you know, And I get it. Look, I understand that
(31:45):
this team, you know, is still heavily into analytics, and
I know that this is the Dodgers radio station, you
know what I mean. But I want to be I
want to be critical of the entire organization and their
philosophies right now. I think it was it was it
worked to have this kind of philosophy and this moneyball
thing with money moneyball and money plus money. But I
(32:09):
think people are the league is catching up. We need
to figure out the next thing to do, and and
and and I'll take you know, I'll take your comments
off there. I don't have a question, all right. I'm
just pissed because I'm just mad because I have this
ring in my pocket. I've got this cool ring and
it's like so awesome, and Show Hey was so amazing,
And sometimes I feel like Show Hey is a side show.
(32:29):
There's Show Hey, and then there's the Dodgers, and it's
I don't know if it's distracting, is it distracting to
the team. Is it distracting? Is it should he just
be a hitter? You know what I mean, I think
about that stuff.
Speaker 7 (32:41):
I don't think it's a distraction, Jordan. I appreciate the
phone call. I hear your your your frustration. Absolutely absolutely,
and I congratulations on getting a ring.
Speaker 3 (32:49):
One word.
Speaker 7 (32:49):
That's like Max Munsey, I don't have an argue with
what you said a day game after a night game.
I know he's coming back off the injury list, but
you got a day off tomorrow that he could very
easily be off.
Speaker 6 (33:00):
And I know this was planned.
Speaker 7 (33:02):
Okay, this wasn't just a rash decision where they decided,
all right, let's get to the ballpark. Yeah, Mexica get
the day off. This was already scheduled a couple of
days in advance. So what he did last night, certainly
you think, wow, it'd be great to have him back
on the lap. Oh not in the lineup today. There
goes that momentum he was riding from last night. The
Dodger scored twelve runs last night. Everybody got involved. Today
(33:23):
the Dodgers scored three runs in the first four innings,
had six hits. We're feeling pretty good about the way
they were swinging the bat, turned the ball over the bullpit,
and then the offense just turned off the spickett two
hits the rest of the way. That was it, and
they didn't draw the walks. They had two walks, one
of which came from Max Munsey as a pinch hitter
late in this game, so in the other one came
from show Heyo Tani. What this team does well is
(33:45):
get on base past the baton. They don't necessarily have
to hit the three run home run every single time.
It helps, certainly, but today you just didn't see good
at bats after the fourth inning, and when you're not
getting production from Rojas, Alex frielan goes oh for fourth
to plate and it's even more frustrating to see shoey
(34:05):
o Town. He's standing in the on deck circle, you know,
with two outs of the ninth inning, and you can't
get to him for a chance to win the game
or tie the game with a home run. So again,
I understand your frustration. I am one hundred percent with
you today, and especially at this time of the season.
You know, you gotta buckle up, you gotta be ready
(34:26):
to go, because this was a series the Dodgers needed
to win. You have to beat the Cardinals. They're a
team that is eight games under five hundred now on
the road. They are a five hundred team overall in
the season. You have to take two or three from them.
You just have to. And the fact that you lose
today's game and now the lead the division could be
(34:48):
down to two and the Blue Jays are coming to town.
Better get ready, John and west La is next up
here on Dodger Talk.
Speaker 6 (34:55):
John, Welcome, Are you.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
Doing what's going on?
Speaker 10 (34:58):
TC?
Speaker 8 (34:59):
I was at the game and I was sitting right.
Speaker 1 (35:02):
Behind to the Cardinals dugout three rows behind. And you know,
for the Dodgers today, the mindsoft looked soft. I mean
the Kundos they were focused and intense on getting this win.
The Dodger dug out, it looked like they were already
thinking about their day off tomorrow. And you know you
mentioned the little things. The Dodgers don't do the little things.
(35:23):
They rarely ever play small ball. Every big leader should
be able to bunt. The two bullet temps by Freeling
were horrible. He had no bend in his knees to
adjust to the.
Speaker 5 (35:33):
Ball, and he didn't get on top of the ball
to direct.
Speaker 1 (35:35):
It to the ground. So I mean that's the thing they.
Speaker 8 (35:39):
Need to focus on.
Speaker 1 (35:40):
If you get in a situation where you need a
butt and you got.
Speaker 8 (35:42):
A guy who can't put down a bun, it's just
not a good thing to do for the team and
you're not doing your job as a coach. And the
last thing, Andrew Friedman, he rarely takes any criticisms for
his moves. He acquired two high priced arms in the
bullpen that had been very bad for us in Tanno
(36:02):
Scott and Kirby Yates, and signed him to multiple years, so.
Speaker 5 (36:07):
He needed to take a little heat for some of
his moves too.
Speaker 7 (36:10):
All right, appreciate the phone call, John, thanks for checking in.
As it is pointed out to me by David Vesta.
Thank you DV for the text. Max Munsey including the
minor league rehab assignments. He played four straight days in
TRIPLEA Oklahoma City. He had the two games to start
this series. It was six games in a row for
Max Monty. That's why it was predetermined that this would
(36:31):
be the day off. So you can give him back
to back days basically off his feet today in the
off day tomorrow. So that is the exclamation why he
did not get the start, and again it was a
scheduled day off for Max Munsey. Let's wrap things up
with Blake, our good friend in Colorado. Blake, my man,
how's your Wednesday afternoon going.
Speaker 5 (36:51):
Good?
Speaker 2 (36:52):
Why would I hold it so long?
Speaker 6 (36:54):
That's a good question, Blake.
Speaker 7 (36:55):
A lot of angry Dodger fans this afternoon, kind of frustrated.
I think Moore is the better way to describe it.
But we're glad we're able to get you on today.
Speaker 10 (37:02):
And I have a YouTube Canoe.
Speaker 7 (37:04):
Now you got a YouTube channel? You want to give
us a shout out? What it is before we let
you go?
Speaker 2 (37:08):
Blake, Yeah, it is my name, Blake salazol.
Speaker 7 (37:13):
All right, check him out on YouTube, Blake Salazar looking
for a lot of cool content out there.
Speaker 6 (37:18):
Blake, all right, we'll check it out.
Speaker 4 (37:20):
Okay, we' are you going to be back on?
Speaker 6 (37:22):
I'm going to be back on I think Sunday. I
believe so.
Speaker 7 (37:25):
But David Vasse returns on Friday night and he's got
off night tomorrow night as well, Blake, So have a
great afternoons.
Speaker 6 (37:31):
My man.
Speaker 8 (37:33):
Thank you always talk Sunday sounds good.
Speaker 7 (37:37):

and Money Show until seven o'clock tonight. Dodgers off tomorrow,

Speaker 6 (38:03):
Going head to ahead. And then it's Blake Snell on Saturday.
Speaker 7 (38:07):
Yoshinobu Yamamoto on a Sunday in the final game of
this homestand top one for the Dodgers today, they drop
one to the Cardinals, five to three. The Dodgers had
a three to one lead, but the bullpen gives it
up for the sixth, Two more in the eighth, and
then the run of the ninth is the Cardinals take
two to three at Dodgers Stadium, and as we speak
to Dodgers clinging to a.
Speaker 6 (38:27):
Two and a half game lead in the NL West.
