Only four teams in major league baseball history have won three consecutive titles. The doctors are the favorites to become the fifth. This is world champion dodge your tongue. Here we go again. We're getting ready. Run it back to get in on the show called 866-987-2570. And be sure to follow Dodger Talk wherever you catch your podcast. Here's your host David Vasey. That's it. We are live at Uniclo Field at Dodger Stadium for Dodger Talk until midnight tonight. 866-987-2570 is the phone number Dodgers lose again tonight to the Cardinals. 8 to 6 the final score tonight in 10 innings. And the phones are working tonight. Boy are they working.

3:24They're lighting up like a Christmas tree. And certainly I can understand the frustration as the Dodgers lose a game that I believed. They were going to win. And that's why I said I would walk home if they lost tonight. And eventually I will walk home. Maybe not all the way from Dodger Stadium, but maybe a shorter distance just to appease the masses. But if you want to put this on me, if you want me to put holes in my shoes, walking down Ventura Boulevard just to satisfy you, even though I did not take a single at bat, I did not go one for 18 with runners in scoring position. Fine, I will do that for you. But until then we have phone lines open at 866-987-2570. Coming up before we end the show tonight at 1145, you'll hear my conversation with Chris Taylor. We'll end the show on a high note. Chris Taylor was honored before the game for a great 10 years with the Dodgers.

4:27Got a World Series ring since he was part of the roster last year. And you'll hear that conversation. Also, I had a chance to catch up with one of the Dodger Hitting Coaches, Aaron Bates, who gave us an update on Andy Pahez. So that's a good thing. And Jose Mota will join us at 1130 since the phones are working tonight. And quite honestly, last night was an ugly game. I took a walk all the way to the topest part of the pavilion, both pavilions last night because the game was pretty much out of hand early on. You can swallow that when it's Eric Lauer on the mound, but a night where Yamamoto, your ace is starting the game. And you have so many opportunities with runners in scoring position, runners on base. And you don't cash them in. That is even tougher to swallow. The Dodgers left 13 men on base. They were won for 18 with runners in scoring position.

5:27They sent nine batters to the plate in the first inning. Freddie Freeman hits a three run home run. The first home run, Freddie Freeman is hit by the way since the 4th of July. But then after that, Miguel Rojas doubles, Kyle Tucker walks, and they can't get another run in. I thought that was a missed opportunity. The game should have been over for all intensive purposes in the first inning. They should have been up at least five runs in the first inning. And after that, they should have tacked on more. And that's been an issue for the Stadger offense. And quite honestly, nobody wants to hear that the at back qualities look better in the last two games. Especially when you lose the first two games of a nine game homestand. And there's only 25 games left in the season now 23. And you're trying to win the second seed. Nobody wants to hear that. They want to see the best lineup, the most talented lineup in baseball start to play like it.

6:31And we've seen signs of it at times, but we haven't seen one through nine innings all game long. Being able to tack on runs against the Cardinals team that was throwing a bullpen game. Eight different pictures. That was the reason why I was so confident. And look, Yamamoto does not get a free pass just because he went seven innings tonight. He gave up a pair of two run home runs in the sixth and seventh thinnings tonight. And Yamamoto has been plagued by, I don't know what, but the eight nine hitters this season have really done a number on him. They he allows Nathan Church to get on with one out and then gives up a two run home run to the number nine hitter. Tom is a gacy from San Clemente. We know who you are now. But to me, you can't just give Yamamoto a free pass. And what would be what have we been talking about?

7:32The bullpen comes in with little to zero margin for error. And that's exactly what happened in the eighth inning. I'm not absolving Tanner Scott for giving up the time run in the eighth inning. A lead off walk is not great. A lead off double is even worse. And he was able to come over, get over to third base and score on a sack fly by Alec Burleson. And that he is Joshua Baez who hit a two run double in the tenth inning to put this game away. And the one part of this, and I understand the players play the game. Blah blah blah. Yes, we hear that enough. But how about put the players in a position to help them win a game that is was theirs, but a little bit out of reach. I don't understand what Joshua Baez is coming to the plate in the tenth inning. Why Kike Hernandez is playing so far off the line? Kike Hernandez was that third base. Isn't one of the number one rules in baseball, especially late?

8:34Don't get beat down the line. I mean, I would have loved to have seen Kike Hernandez playing no doubles, hugging that third base line. Instead, he was way off. And the ball got down the line and two run scored. So those are some of the things that when you lose games, people are going to ask questions about 866-987-2570 is the phone number. We have one line open. I see all of you. I want to get to what Dave Roberts was saying to begin his press conference, because I've been saying for the last, I don't know, four or five games, even though everybody around the Dodgers want to look at me like I have three eyes that Otoni has not looked physically right. And when Dave Roberts and Detroit started to talk about other body parts, besides his left knee, bringing back up the right bicep, well, that's his bottom hand. And the way his teammates explain it to me is that's a lot of force extending it. And if that's right arm is an issue, he's not going to be able to catch up to fast balls.

9:37He's not going to look like himself. And he certainly has. And he struck out four times for the first time in a game tonight. He six for his last 45. He has 19 strikeouts in those 45 at Bads. And has not hit a home run since the Dodgers were at Kourz Field. Like I said, on Monday night, the off day Dodger talk show, go back and listen to it. Great players don't all of a sudden stop being great for no reason. And Otoni, yeah, sure, everybody goes through slums. Yeah, I'm not seeing the ball. Well, yeah, that that's true. But that's not what we're seeing tonight. And he was shaking out his right arm during his last at bat tonight after he felled off a 96 fast ball. Dave Roberts even conceded. Finally, he saw what we're all seeing. We all are watching the game. I saw the same thing that everyone saw. Well, I'm going to talk to him tomorrow.

10:38And really try to figure out, you know, get with Thomas and figure out where he's at physically. Because yeah, I saw the shaking of the arm. I saw the wincing. And clearly the swings aren't who he is. And so obviously there's some compensation. So I'm going to talk to him and then I'll make a decision tomorrow. All right, there we go. At least Otoni should get tomorrow off. And like I mentioned on Monday, I wouldn't be opposed to Otoni if physically that right arm or that left knee is affecting him this much at the plate because the Dodgers need him at this point as their hitter. If it's affecting him that much and it's about the playoffs, I would say, yeah, the 10 day I L might do him some good. I know that's not something he wants to hear from anybody. But that's, I mean, that's the reality of the situation. He just doesn't look right physically.

11:38866-987-2570 is the phone number. I want to give some love to Freddie Freeman, Miguel Rojas and Mookie Betts. Freddie Freeman, on base all five times tonight, hit a three run home run in the first inning. First home run since the 4th of July. Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman, Homer in the same game for only the third time this year and the place Rojas made in the 4th inning were ridiculous.

Hi, Dean, lead us off on Dodger Talk. The phones are working. Hey, Dean. Hey, thanks for not sugar-coating anything that's going on. I appreciate that.

14:55As a team, we've had some really bad app apps. You know, the last couple of months, and we used to be a team that would grind it out, makes pictures pitch, but in particular, I mean, see Oscar, but show me. Hey, hey, hey, wait a minute, Dean. I'm tired of the piling on Teosca Hernandez. He has shown some life here in the last six games. I don't know why Teosca Hernandez is the number one punching bag when people want to point to why this offense isn't going right. Kyle Tucker hasn't performed all season long. Mookie Bet is actually starting to look like Mookie Bet's again. So I mean, I'm going to stop you when anybody wants to pile on Teosca Hernandez. That's not the reason I called. The reason I called was, I didn't defense is really suspect, but anyway, well, that's no secret to average. Yeah, but the reason I'm calling was

15:55what you were talking about. O'Connie. I mean, it's like almost like blasphemy saying anything bad about O'Connie. I'm not saying anything bad about it, but his app apps, like you just mentioned, you know, physically, physically, he's not right, Dean. I think we can all see that. And nobody's 100% in August, but this guy's trying to pitch and be the catalyst and be the best hitter in the game. It takes its toll, especially when one body part is compromised that all of a sudden sense of chain reaction and O'Connie himself admitted about the right bicep and he's shaken out his right arm. I mean, it's pretty obvious right now. 8669872570 is the phone number. And I'm not saying that the IL is what he needs, but he certainly needs a day off. And thankfully, Dave Roberts is conceding that. Let's go out to Oz who is at the ballpark tonight. Hi, Oz, you're on Dodger Talk. Hello, David. Thanks for taking my call. Just I just want to say I'm very

17:02deflingalous, but I'm calling you to be the voice of reason because we need to see that we still have some time to turn this around. But like you said, O'Connie should probably take some time off, whether it be one, two, three games, just because he needs to rest. He doesn't look right at the plate. Thank you for taking my call. Okay. Thank you, Oz. Let's go out to Justin and Santa Monica. Here on Dodger Talk. How you doing, Justin? Where do you think Oz was? Because he must have made it home and everybody else was asleep, right? Justin, that's what I'm thinking. So it's not like he went into a library. I don't know. It was pretty Mr. Center there. So tell a thing that wanted to talk about that. We'll take a ball of thought to talk, but like the questionable call up a Freelind and I question it up for his bat and I question on his defense tonight as well. I mean, I called on Saturday and we talked about the Paula and you had mentioned there's something about an assured issue there. I think you remember this player we had, Josiel Puyig. I was a little bit

18:04of a assured issue, but out of heck of a bat. I will take the bat at this point and A, where do you've been seeing has been mentoring him? That's the guy that he said you put on this team right now. That's what we need. You have an open and where does he play? What do you do for Freelind? And you look at that play. The one when he asked me where does the Paula play? Dives to it. Where does the Paula play? Where are you going to play? Like Bill, then you put him with Tucker. Tucker is the other guy. They're both left-handed hitters. That's not a platoon. They're both left-handed hitters. That guess where Tucker needs to be sitting. He had a blue single. Are you seeing yes, one bad. Yes, I'm not going to say Justin. I'm not going to say Tucker's been really good and I'm not going to say that it shouldn't be considered for him to have some at bats taken away. I was even considering that at bat late in the game that maybe he shouldn't have taken that at bat because there's nothing that says anything good was going to come out of it. But Hostway to Paula, you want to talk about suspect defense? There's still a long way to go.

19:09He's made great strides from what I've been told this year, but they need he needs more seasoning. He's not he's not going to save this team and lead them to the three-peat. He's got a 9.54 LPS. Yeah, that's a lot different than the big leagues. One for four. Hey, I think we're disagreeing on two different things here. I just don't see it. Well, but I will agree with you. And I think we have all in agreement. O'Connie needs a couple days off. He hasn't been right. We've been hearing this. We're going to keep putting them out there to try and pitch. I mean, let's go through our rotation. Yama school will smell glass now. Do we really need to force him to be out there pitching? That should be just a non-consideration. But shut that down. Let's get him right. We can see the next couple games. They lose Washington, Cynthia. We should be right right after that. Like, let's give them a rest. Let them tell him it's okay. They should have been right in this series. They're looking at being swept tomorrow.

20:10And, you know, I'm not going to make any guarantees after last night. But I mean, like I said before, the Dodgers do have the second easiest schedule in baseball. But these teams play well above their heads when they play the Dodgers. And tonight was another example of that. But still no excuse. The Dodgers beat themselves tonight. Let's go out to Claremont. Robert, you're on Dodger Talk Live from Dodger Stadium. Hi, Robert. Hello, Mr. Dave. I love his show. Thank you, boss. I know. I want to give you property or really intelligence, which I like. Nobody has ever said that, but I appreciate it. I'm not here to pile on them, but what I've seen is it's not a big deal. The teams that in decline, we've been a good team for a number of years. And our players are not having the good seasons they had in years prior. And I'm hoping to turn around. But when you see all the teams, there comes a point where they just started declining a little bit at a time.

21:15And I'm just seeing that right now. We now all the players are having subpar seasons compared to years prior. And sure we got this. We got the names and that, but still me have what you're doing right now. And they're not. There's still trying. It's not like they're going to be bad, but it's not clicking for them. And you need to have that chemistry. It's not clicking right now. Do you know why it's not clicking right now, Robert? The bullpen has is a little thinner than it was a year ago. They were counting on Edwin Diaz to be Edwin Diaz. He has not been really a factor all season long. And when he has been a factor, it hasn't been positive. So they're trying to get him right. Show Hey Otani has been banged up. Obviously you haven't got any production out of your corner outfield spots all season long. So those are the reasons not because they're old or they've played too many games.

22:17That's the reality of it. And they brought in Kyle Tucker, by the way, to try to uplift this team with some youth, some fresh legs. A guy that hasn't played a lot of games. And he really hasn't done that for them. So for those reasons, that's part of why this offense since June, ish July really hasn't continued what they started. Gotta run, Robert. Thank you for the phone call, 866-987-2570. Hey, it's David Vasse. And we all know about AAA coming to the rescue when you're stuck on the side of the road.

25:29hasn't won a championship in 50 years. I feel to a certain extent they have set the expectations so high for themselves that no matter what they do, it's not going to satisfy you. So I'm not saying that everybody should be content that they won back-to-back championships. But let's put this in perspective. Not too many teams win one. Let alone back-to-back championships. And the Dodgers are trying to do something that no other nationally team has ever done before and that's the three-peat. Now this team is good enough to do and I feel like we all feel they have the potential to three-peat and they don't want and we don't want them to squander it. You got something here. Don't just give it away. Seize what you have because quite honestly, a lot of these guys are never going to have this opportunity again to be part of what could be

26:33one of the greatest teams in baseball history to three-peat and certainly cement themselves as the greatest team in Dodger franchise history. They've already got one foot in the cement. If we're talking about Gromans Chinese Theatre and that whole like oral herchizer star in the walk of fame kind of analogy, but if they three-peat, I mean they got John Wayne sized boots in the cement and that's where I'm coming from. These guys are good enough. They have put in the work ever since spring training to put themselves in that position. Don't let anybody else undermine it. Don't let each other undermine it. That's all I'm saying. You guys have come this far and LA believes that you have the players to be able to three-peat. You just got to be able to not just keep kicking it down the road or kicking the can down the road.

27:35Oh, we'll get on tomorrow. Oh, the quality of that bats were great. No, it's got to start now. There's only 23 games to go on the season. You've got to start playing like there's no tomorrow, especially since I believe this year the Dodgers would really benefit from having a first-round by having home field advantage in the NLDS, possibly the NLCS. I don't like this team having to travel after playing a wild card series to Atlanta. I just don't. I just don't. Can they do it? Of course they can, but with the Dodgers did last year, not a lot of teams do win 13 games to win the World Series. No other team has won that many games in October to win the World Series because they play two extra games in the wild card series and then had to win 11 more. They never had home field advantage when it got to the NLDS, the NLCS, and the World Series. That's not the way to go about

28:41it this year. By the way, the Dodgers magic number to win the NL West is at 14. Let's go out to Roman and Whittier. You're on Dodger Talk with David Vassay. Hi, Roman. Mr. Vassay, you guys don't see what's going on here. Are you Dodger fans? Otoni, he's disappearing right now. This is what he does in the World Series in the playoffs. So this is a good thing. He's disappearing now and in the playoffs in the World Series, this guy's going to be MVP. I don't know how you guys don't see that. All right, I don't think he's disappearing. I think he's physically compromised. So I disagree with you on that. I don't think you see it. I think you need to get your glasses checked, Roman. Let's go out to Chino. Jason, you're on Dodger Talk. How you doing, Jason? Good. Thanks for taking my calls. Been a long time. I do want to keep things positive tonight. I know there's too little, but I want to talk about Fred Shriven. So by the way, I listened to the

29:44game on 570. Listen to Charlie's Diet of Rick Monday. I love that Charlie Spiner, two seconds before that whole run was in. Kind of did a little bit of foreshadowing. Yeah. He had to hit a home run in 40-something games, two seconds later, bam. And I could kind of hear a slight shuffle like, yeah, he called that. So a crudal is just early on that. Yeah, he's been around the block a few times. He knows what he's doing. Yeah, but to that point, it looks like Fred Shriven has started to come into his postseason form. Then I think he had tonight. That is a very good sign. And Fred Shriven is the kind of guy that you want hot going into the playoffs. So I'm trying to focus on some kind of positives. And if that's something to focus on going in October, then I would think that's a positive sign for Dodger Vance. So it's going to be so free to free him in. Mr. October,

30:48the rest of us. Let's do it again. All right, Jason. Thank you for the phone call. And with that three run home run in the first inning, Freddie Freeman now is just four extra bass hits from a thousand in his career. That would make him just the 40th player in baseball history to have a thousand career hit. So he's far away. And the Dodger still have what seven more games on this homestan and be great for him to be able to do it at Dodger Stadium. You're right. Freddie Freeman is starting to come around. And we saw that in Detroit. And he's carried that over in the first two games of the series. He was on base all five times tonight with two hits, three walks. I also like what I'm seeing from Mookie Betts. Mookie Betts is having more Mookie Betts type of at bats. And he's getting results. A double in the fourth inning, a two run home run in the sixth inning. So you got Freddie Freeman and Mookie Betts swinging the bat at the right time. And Teosca Hernandez is coming alive. So I like I like those three guys hitting on all cylinders at the same time.

31:54Let's go out to Mirrietta. Michael. You're on Dodger talk with David Vasey. Hi, Michael. Hey, what's going on, David? Yeah, you know how it is a little a little disappointed. The Dodgers did not win this game tonight. This one did not sit well with me as you can tell. Absolutely. Absolutely. Me either. Hey, so I called maybe a week or two ago about a point in time where we pinch hit for Max Muncie. We did that once again tonight in a situation where he's been clutch. I don't know. Did I miss something? What do you think? What did he do to lose his opportunity here? I feel like it hasn't. This is like a third time that done this. Well, I'll tell you what the left. The lefty that was on the mound. He was throwing a lot of soft stuff off-speed pitches. Max Muncie loves to hit fastballs. So maybe that was the thinking from Dave Roberts, but I'm with you, Michael. In a game that you must win, I'm not pinch hitting

32:58for Max Muncie. Now I like Kike Hernandez, but I'm still not pulling the trigger on Kike Hernandez for Max Muncie. I'm probably pinch hitting Kike for Kyle Tucker to be honest with you, Michael. Yeah, I would agree with that much, much much better than pinch hitting for Max Muncie. And to piggyback on what everyone's saying about Shouyo's, honey, man, I think we need to protect not only the Dodgers from him, but him from himself. He's a very proud person. He's not going to sit or anything out unless he makes him. So we need to make that decision for him. Yeah, and we haven't heard from Otani publicly since I think I spoke to him on the field at course field. So we haven't heard how he's feeling. We've only been able to get second-hand information from Andrew Friedman and Dave Roberts, but we haven't heard from Otani himself. Thanks for the phone call, Michael. Appreciate it. 866-987-2570 is the phone number. Dodgers

33:59fall to the Cardinals tonight. 8 to 6 in 10 innings coming up at the bottom of the hour. You'll hear from Jose Mota, but I do have good news tonight when you talk about the Dodgers lineup. Not only did Will Smith look good last night, but how about tonight in the ninth inning? He gave it a ride. I know it was the final out of the ninth inning. Teosca Hernandez was at third base, but that was a pretty impressive drive. He kind of felt like Will Smith was going to win that game for the Dodgers in the ninth inning, but Nathan Church tracked it down in the ninth inning at the one-team track, going back to the wall, and Church made a nice catch on the run out there in right center field. But I felt like that was the opportunity for the Dodgers. Also, spoke to Aaron Bates, the Dodgers hitting coach about Andy Pahez, who had left hand surgery just a little week ago. And I had heard earlier today that maybe Pahez was progressing

34:59better than what many expected. So I asked Aaron Bates where Andy Pahez is as far as his recovery from that left hand surgery. Yeah, I think he starts swinging pretty soon. I mean, I used the dugout yesterday during the game. He said it. He doesn't feel any pain. He as hand goes really good, which was encouraging. So he's got back from the road trip to see and touch base other than tax. But he was in great spirits. He was really good. I think he starts swinging here coming up shortly. But I mean, they said the surgery ended up really well. So he was excited by that, because he expected to be more sore at this point and more pain, but he said no. He's feeling good. So he could actually grip a bat right now? Yeah, he hasn't swung yet as far as hitting a ball, but he said I think it was the next couple of days or so. He was going to practice. I think it's just dry swings at first. I think there's a progression. I'm not, you have to talk to the trainers more so the specifics of the progression. But yeah, he was. He said there's no pain. I got good news for you. Dr. Shin who performed the surgery on Andy Pahez's hand. Performed the surgery after the slide. So were you were you quicker than expected from your slide?

36:00I went back the next day. Got it. Got it. So you're even quicker than that. Yeah. How about pain? Why? See how it feel? Oh, I could tell when it's going to rain. First guy to know. Got it. Got it. Got it. Okay. Well, hopefully Andy's feels better than yours. All right. Thank you, Aaron. I appreciate the concern. But yeah, that's great news. And I did confirm with Dodgers trainer Thomas Albert that yes, Andy Pahez is going to start swinging a bat. You know, those dry swings. The very beginning stages of coming back in the next couple of days. So that's really encouraging that Pahez was telling Aaron Bates and others in the dugout last night that he's pain free after suffering that left hand fracture and undergoing surgery that put a compression screw in his left hand by Dr. Shin at curling job. Let's go out to the 818. Howie. You're on Dodger Talk with David Vasey. How you doing? Howie? Hey, buddy. Thanks for taking my call. I love your show. A couple of things I want to discuss you with great, weird game. First, we were thinking Yoshi was going

37:00to throw a note hit. We're sitting there six innings. And then real hot made that play. He went into shortstop. What a play, man. And to throw that guy out of first, what a great play that was. They were thinking back to back. Yeah, two back to back. So then we're thinking, you know, what a weird game. That's like, we're thinking, oh my god, maybe it's a no hit or maybe it's a no hit or another game just turned just turned ugly. And then they came back for the rally and then it just went south. But we were game. But one thing I want to discuss with you real quickly, it concerns me about the Dodgers and and Shoyotani. We know he doesn't look right. I kept telling I was with my niece. He's limping back to the dugout. He doesn't look right. And you can see he's not swinging right. I think the Dodgers have a problem and they have to make a decision. And I just want your opinion is as a strong opinion on my part. I think he either have to pitch him or he's a hitter. You can't play. You can't be a tennis player. Professionally and play golf professionally. The swings don't work. Well, that's apples and oranges right there. I well, you can't say that. How are you because he has done it? His identity is a two way player and

38:04he's been extremely successful at doing that. But he's 32 years old now. He's had a couple of elbow surgeries. He's had a knee surgery. All of those things add up as you know how you sound like a guy well over 30. How he you know those things add up. Yeah. Yeah. So, you know, those things add up. That's the difference. He's 32 now and playing more games than he ever had with the Angels. I mean, he was done in September with the Angels with the Dodgers. He's going deep into October the last two years and starting seasons before everybody else. So all of those things add up. And I'm with you, Howie. For this year in 2026, I believe hitting is where the focus needs to be because the pitching is compromising him physically. And I think everybody's starting to realize that. Thanks for the phone call, Howie. Got to run. And also, you know, I do understand the thinking that he is a roster advantage because he doesn't count against your pitching staff. So,

39:09if he's able to take down six or nine outs in a playoff game, when you really need it, I'll take Shohei Otoni on the mound at 60% that rather than some pictures at 100%. So, I understand leaving that door open for maybe 40 pitches. But even if those 40 pitches to build them back up are compromising him physically to be what you need him to be, the dominant lead off DH. Then I would say unfortunately, it's not going to work. 8669872570 is the phone number Dodgers fall to the Cardinals tonight 8 to 6 and 10 innings. When we continue, Jose Motel will check in and also we'll share our conversation with Chris Taylor, who was back at Dodger Stadium tonight as the Dodgers have lost the first two games of this homestand to the Cardinals tonight.

And the Dodgers, Kekon to the lead, it is now 5-2. Mookie Beds with 4 RBI's last night he comes back tonight. It's a two run home run. He was two for six tonight with that two run home run. Him and Freddie Freeman drove in five of the six runs

Jose Moota checking in and Jose, obviously the buzz is about Shohei O'Tani and it's worse slump as the Dodgers shaking his arm in the ninth inning, very noticeably. And now Dave Roberts is talking about I.L. giving him a day off tomorrow. How compromised is O'Tani physically? It's obvious that the day he just does not look right

44:26in so many ways. And you can tell what Shohei by sometimes how he starts to cheat on his swing, how he's going to beat on fastballs very easily, how he's sometimes even that taking pitches right down the middle because like after a couple of swings, he just can't pull the trigger. So to me, there's many indicators having seen Shohei from day one in this career starting in the U.S. And following him, obviously, you know, through WBC and things like that. But you know, it kind of reminds me of a little bit Dave when after he's had surgeries and is right elbow, how it takes him a while to really get fully extended and get confidence and snapping that arm. It's not happening right now. Whether it's the knee effect in the upper body, whatever it is, it just seems like he's trying to catch up with something and even there's no hard outs anymore. You know what I mean? Like there's a deep fly ball with that line drive. Where's that opportunity? Say I'm going to go out there and take a different club and just and just hit the ball through the middle and go the other way. It's just not happening there. You can see in his face is something that's just not feeling right with him because there's not the guy who we know can do so much damage and

45:30teams are absolutely coming after him. They're not showing away from the zone. That's why he's not taking that many walks because he's all the thing a lot of good hittable pitches because he's not able to go out there and fully say I'm going to be convincing and just determine swing to go out and do some damage. It's not happening right now. Jose, when you look at this game, obviously last night was not pretty losing 13 to 8 to the Cardinals, but that was one of those nights. Lauer was not sharp. He's been placed on the IL with left elbow inflammation, but tonight you had Yamamoto on the mound and again, the bottom of the order hurt Yamamoto and the Dodgers again had a lot of runners that they left on base. They could have blown the Cardinals out by the sixth inning tonight. Yeah, this game should have been over, you know, by the sixth inning, you're right. And here's one thing too that many times a manager will tell you we have the ability to shorten games, right? Because we have guys out of that bullpen that can go out here and just have your seven eight nine set up. But on the offensive side, you have a chance of short games too. And to go out there and just

46:36put up a crooked number early by not by just starting going out there and just, you know, smashing the ball around, but by being a good fundamental team. Other teams right now, I mean, going to go back to the Milwaukee's and the pirates and the tigers and the and the braves and now the Cardinals are showing the dollars. The things that really they should be doing more of, which is not taking for granted anything early in the game by playing for contact. When contact is what you need, not to lug. And by being smart and they're at bat. I mean, I was happy to see the contacts by tail today. He had not have five consecutive ball with the hit heart in a long time, maybe all season. The walks by Freddie and the many walks and you know, the guys, a couple of guys getting hit by pictures, but we're not staying in consistency then. And just the pitch selection Dave, you are a team that's so talented and so deep. And going through this, a lot of teams you hope to know this trust me is very frustrating what happens that you are expanding the zone like never before because you're trying to get baits hits. Trust the process,

47:38get the run ready. You know what? A lot of times it's going to get the whole team out there, you know, tomorrow. Guys, let's go up and just have a good time. Everybody's out there mandatory, BP, play some games, move guys over, mentor based on, you know, less than two hours. It's not going to happen because it's just not the way the games be employed right now when, you know, you can't tell anybody go out there and head outside, but I think just as a team, just to go out there and have fun and laugh and maybe compete once and against the other will be very served. So I don't, you know, it sounds too much like Mono League, but they need something to loosen them up a little bit more to say, just this game's a way too hard and that's exactly what's happening. Everything way too hard right now. Yeah, I agree with you. It is, it is looking too hard. You feel like games that they should win going away. All of a sudden, our losses and 10 innings. And, you know, you look at the Dodger bullpen Jose. I think we really got a question that that trust tree that Dave Roberts references. Is that tree a little thin these days? I think that tree, what happened is, I mean, they they're allowed to come in and give

48:39up a run, but it just the margin of error is just not there right now. Yes, and every game is different. Go to go out there and segment games where they're at. You want Tener's got to go out there and throw zero. You had Enrique is warming up and they just started going to Tener's got because the top of the order is coming up and you want those matchups. It just didn't work. But going back to your comment on Yamamoto before I go to the bullpen, you have to stop the bleeding from the guys in the bottom, Dave. And, you know, you know, motor's giving out five home runs from the number eight hitter this year. That to me is something you can put a stop on because it's if it's your lack and little focus when you, you know, Hank pitches or not make the right picture the right time again, like that, but you got to go out there and separate and make sure the bottom of the order is something you can live off of and dominate because the big ones that's what they do. And then go back to the bullpen. Executions number one and then being not being predictable is number two. And I think a couple of times going back to a lot of it's been a little more predictable on the pitchers and the execution's not been there. And it goes back

49:42to the starters and from the starters lack of run production, which is as way too much everybody involves. So it's kind of a trigger effect on from the offense and it goes and falls back on the offense, not giving guys enough support because, you know, you make an error, you make a mistake with a picture in there, you give up a run and it's costly and it shouldn't be like that with a team like this. All right, Jose. We'll check in with you tomorrow. Terrick school bulls on the mound for the Dodgers as they look to avoid being swept by the Cardinals. That would be really hard to digest if that happens, which I don't believe it will, but I didn't believe the Dodgers would lose this game either. So we'll see what they got tomorrow. Yeah, good guy school will going on. Get some get some runs on the board and go out there and throw some zeros. Easy fix. Oh, yeah, sounds perfect. That's what's the plan tonight too. Yeah, it didn't work tonight's over. Take it but tomorrow. I still got 15 minutes more left in the show. I don't it's not a movie. We've been talking if you want. And by the way, it was going to be on with you again, Dave. I was ready. People asked me today like, what were you yesterday? I'm like, well, was there? Hey, the

50:44phones not working. Yeah, all right, Jose. Thanks a lot. There he goes. Jose Motta, part of the Dodgers Spanish radio broadcast 866 987 2570 is the phone number. We'll hear from Chris Taylor coming up in five minutes. But let's go back out to the phones before that J and Pasadena. Hi, you're on Dodger talk. Very doing, Mr. Vasey. As always, I appreciate you taking my call. My pleasure. I just wanted to give some positive to the people, you know, real quick, because I, you know, I appreciate what you do for the Dodgers along with Mr. Monday, you know, my grandmother died two weeks ago. But before she did, she told me a story about how Mr. Monday was so nice to her, my grandfather, you know, give them tickets to games and, you know, to the sports arena with the thankers just doing there and so forth and so on. So I just want to appreciate take that. I take the time to thank him as well. And my father worked there for 30 years. So I grew up with the Dodgers. So like, this is nothing like new. It's baseball, you know, we go through slums, we go through laws, it happens. They still, like you said, they're still number one. They still,

51:48you know, the top of the division and we still within hands reach their graves and the brood. So I feel like this happens when you play so many games. It's been extremely hot. It's been extremely crazy changing the bullpen. A lot of arms going out, you know, like any pie has. So we, what's the deal we got to do right now? And I think it'll all get back to the mean, back to, you know, in some, in later on, in September, about October, they should get back to themselves. All right, Jay, thanks for the phone call. Appreciate it. And sorry to hear about the loss to your family, but hopefully Dodger baseball can get your mind off of that. Let's go out to Santa Fe Springs, JT. You're on Dodger talk. How you doing, JT? Hey, Danny, I'm doing good in yourself. Great. Good, good. I'm calling you for 60 million reasons, Dave. That's Mr. Kyle Tucker. I'm very frustrated. I'm sure a lot of people are. And it's just so hard for me to see as a fan for him to go out there and look like he just, maybe that's just his

52:50personality. Maybe like he just doesn't care. But come on, show us some emotion, you know. It's like he just so lack of a physical out there and it's just, you know, we're gonna see them take it over to 17 years now, put a lot of money into this and this guy's doing paid the big money. It's like, show up, you know, show some, you know, a little something, right? It's my motion. What do you think? Well, it's been a disappointing season. And you can't change a person who he is, you know, just watching him play with the Astros and Cubs. That's his demeanor. It doesn't mean he doesn't care. But he's not going to be, you know, the raw, raw type of guy. And when you're not performing well, only hitting 227, it looks even worse. But I hear what you're saying, JT. And I think the only thing that Dodgers and you can hope for is that he comes up with a couple of big hits in October because that would make everything that didn't happen in the regular season a little more forgivable. Yeah. I would hope so. Let's see. Let's see. He has 25

53:52games to do it. So let's be hopefully. All right, JT. Thanks for the phone call. Let's take one more call. Ken and Newport Beach before we hear from Chris Taylor. How you doing, Ken? Oh, I get in there. I get in there. Hey, first off, last since you all started, the Dodgers are 20 and 20. That's 16th in the league. And I go, the team is not this bad. But then they are. Because there's something called a fiduciary responsibility when your leadoff hitter is 16 for 80 and has 28 strikeouts and hasn't had an RBI in 12 games. It's pretty obvious. He's not well. And it's manager's responsibility or the front office to say, get him out of there. Give him a rest because he's the worst hitter on the team right now. And those numbers. Well, I don't know if I go that far. Well, I'll say this, Ken. They finally conceded that he's not physically right.

54:55And that was evident in the ninth inning. Yeah. Again, he's sitting 200. You got rushing back. You got rushing back. Yes, yes, I know, Ken. We're very aware that we've recapped that for the last hour. I know. I just, he needs a sit. Yes, tomorrow. He's not playing tomorrow. And Dave Roberts even opened the door for him, possibly going on the IL. They have to have an honest conversation with Otani. And he's got to be honest with them. I know players usually aren't especially superstar players are not when it comes to how they feel physically to stay in the game. But, you know, Otani is one thing that he's not, you know, he's pretty honest when it comes to answering questions from the media and from his teammates and his manager. So they have to have that type of conversation. Another guy that played heard a lot was Chris Taylor. Chris Taylor was back at the ballpark tonight. Let's end the show on a high note. Here's our conversation with Chris

56:00Taylor before he threw out the ceremonial first pitch. Did you ever believe when you got traded from the Mariners to the Dodgers in 2016 and you showed up in Pittsburgh that your career would take this arc and you would be throwing out the first pitch and being celebrated by Dodger fans 10 years later. Oh, man. I don't know. Yeah, that's a tough question. You know, I was just at that point in my career. I was just so focused on like getting to the major leagues and like earning a spot. You know, it'd be hard to say. I thought that I would get, you know, over 10 years in the major leagues with pretty much all with the Dodgers. So yeah, no, I don't know. I always had a lot of confidence in myself and I always believed I would get there. But I don't know if I thought I would happen the way I did. Do you remember that first day in Pittsburgh, Chris? I do. Yeah. I do

57:06remember I remember I was able to hit a triple in the left center gap, which kind of took some took some of the pressure off, you know. But yeah, I remember joining the team in Pittsburgh and you know, just being pretty, you know, welcomed by all the guys and actually like pleasantly surprised how easy it was to fit in and you know, kind of just be yourself. And I remember feeling very comfortable playing. And I think that's something that Dodgers do a great job of is like bringing guys in and like, you know, just like go out do your thing. Don't put too much pressure on you. And yeah, no, obviously, there's a reason they, you know, a lot of the young guys that get there have so much early success. Chris Taylor is our guest. He's going to be celebrated tonight at Dodger

58:09Stadium throwing out the first pitch tonight with his family right by his side. Now, I've talked to you over the years about my favorite memories, the moments that stick out in your career. Fans obviously share their moments with you. Hey, I was there in 2021 or I was there when you did this, what in your mind stands out the most as far as some of the the moments that you had in your Dodger career that, you know, supersede others. Yeah, I mean, individually, I think the, the what you referenced earlier with the the 21 wild card walkoff. That was a big one for me. I think mainly because it came after such a long swamp. Like I had struggled the entire second half of the season and ended up getting benched before the playoffs. And I was really like scoffing. And somehow I was able to find a barrel and hit that walkoff home. And then that completely,

59:17you know, turned my whole. Post season around and it up having a great, great playoff. So that, I mean, that was super rewarding for me. And then, you know, I think the, the things that I'm most proud of are the World Series, you know, 2020 and 24, being able to win two World Series of the guys. It's like there's no feeling that can top that. Winning the last game of the year is just the best feeling no matter how you get there. And that's probably what I'm most proud of. What do you remember the most about that 2020 season that that bubble run at Globe Life field in Texas, not really having much of a social life, but being with your teammates 24, 7. Yeah. Yeah, we were stuck in the hotel in Texas, you know, basically, I think it's for over a month.

1:00:20And, you know, it's, it's fun. You know, you're with all the guys and there's like that team bonding for sure, but then at the same time, there's like no escape. So you're, it's just like the one nice thing about being home in LA is like you get to go home to your house and for me at the beach. And it's just kind of my safe place away from the baseball field where I can like take my mind off of it. And in the bubble and everything, of course, is heightened because it's the playoffs and there's so much pressure and, you know, there really was no escape. So it's like it was a month that it felt like two months. And, you know, I think it was a little mentally taxing. But, you know, obviously it ended with us winning our first world series. So it was like a lot of

1:01:25Keats and Valais during that postseason. Of course, all worth it to finally come out on top. Do you feel like winning that world series with those group of players that you went to the world series with in 17 and 18 kind of was a closure for all you guys redemption as far as achieving it even in that type of situation and setting? Yeah, I think I've said this before. I think the predominant feeling after we won that was relief. It was, you know, because we felt like we showed a one in 17 and we got back there in 18, weren't able to win. And then, you know, 19, we had a great team and we're upset by the the nationals who ended up winning. So, you know, I think 2020 was just like, oh, we finally did it. Like we can breathe, you know, the monkeys off our back and that was the main feeling even more so than the excitement of

1:02:32winning the world series. It's just like relief of like getting over the hump. Yeah, I understand that. Chris Taylor is our guest and another part of your career and those teams, Chris, is the bond that you guys had and still have to this day. When I think of Chris Taylor, it's hard not to think of Cody Belinger or Cory Seeger or Alex Wood or Justin Turner. How much does that make all of this more special that you formed that bond with not just one guy, but 10, 15 guys. Yeah, there's, there's really nothing like the relationship you'll have with your teammates in the clubhouse. And, you know, that group you just mentioned, we've played together for multiple years and we went through everything I just talked about of like not being able to win for a long time. And then finally winning and like, you know, when you go

1:03:37go through that and like it's based on seasons are long and it's every day. And, you know, when you go through the experiences you have on a team of those guys, you form a special bond. And I think that's something we'll carry with us for the rest of our lives. Before I let you go, I got to ask you this now. 2018 game seven NLCS and Milwaukee. How the heck did you make that catch that catch saved the NLCS for the Dodgers? How did you make that catch? Yeah, I don't know. You know, I've always said I don't think it was like my greatest catch. I think it was obviously a big moment. I still think I didn't take the the best route. I kind of undercut it and had to banana back and then luckily I kind of snowcoded in my glove. But definitely like

1:04:37as far as a moment, that was the biggest defensive moment I've had. But yeah, it was a cool experience though. Being in Milwaukee, making that catching game seven, having my family there to witness it. And then of course winning and clenching going to the World Series. It made it all that much better. To this day, Chris, whenever I go back to Milwaukee, I always look out there to left field. And I think about that catch because that is one of the moments of being on this ride with you guys that I'll never forget. That was certainly one of the playoff highlights that I've ever seen. So it's awesome. You're coming back. Are you signing an official one day contract to retire as a Dodger tonight, Chris? I don't know, but I did want there's nothing else you think of when you look out and left field in Milwaukee. No, no, I don't I don't see anything else. I just see I just see you making that catch.

1:05:38What do you see when you look at it? The big slide out there. You didn't have any bad experiences of that slide. Oh, yeah, the slide. Yeah, that's it. Yes, that's right. It's all coming back to me. Now I don't remember you helping me to the hospital that day. I think I of course wasn't there to see it, but I thought on Instagram or on TV like everybody else. Okay. Well, thank you for remembering that. I'll remember you and you could remember me in Milwaukee. Yeah, I can't let you forget that. Yeah, well, I got to say this. It's so great. You're coming back. You are always going to be part of the Dodger family. And I'm so grateful to you for treating me like family and treating my kids like family. And it's been a real pleasure watching your career. And I can't believe I'm outlasting you. I can't believe I'm still doing this and you're retired. So I'll have to digest that tonight as well.

1:06:38Thanks, Russ. I know. I mean, your friendship means a lot to me. And it was always a pleasure to work with you. All right. I'll see you on the beach. All right. That sounds good. All right. That's a good way to end the show. Obviously a disappointing night for the Dodgers, a disappointing first two games of this nine game. Homestand, but I feel good conversation with Chris Taylor. So I wanted to end the show that way. Will I walk home? Well, yeah, I will from my car to my front door. I never said I'm walking from Dodger Stadium to my house. So we'll see where it leads. You know, I maybe I'll do a little walk on Ventura Boulevard just to satisfy the animals out there that want me to walk 12 hours back to the valley. Tomorrow, Tarek Scoubo will be on the mound against Quinn Matthews. Our coverage begins at six o'clock with first pitch at 710. Thanks to Colin Yee back at our Burbank studios. He's been here since 12 o'clock. Thanks to Dwayne McDonald out here at Uniclo Field at Dodger Stadium. And thank you to the IT department for not pulling the plug on the show.
