Dodger Talk is sponsored by LA Care Health Plan, providing affordable healthcare insurance to

0:05

millions of Angelinos for over twenty five years. And now your voice for Dodger

0:10

Talking. Ye back, David Vasse. Welcome to Dodger Talk. David vas

0:18

Say with you until four thirty right here on AM five to seventy LA Sports.

0:24

The Dodgers have won six in a row. With their four to two

0:27

win over the Blue Jays, they are looking for their second series sweep tomorrow

0:33

morning against the Blue Jays. They swept the Nationals on their first stop on

0:38

this three city road trip. Nine games in nine days is what the Dodgers

0:43

are doing right now, and so far, so good. They've won the

0:48

first five games on this road trip, one more in Toronto before they head

0:54

to Phoenix to take on the National League champion Arizona Diamondbacks for three game series.

1:00

Eight six six, seven two five seventy is the phone number. I

1:06

gotta be honest with you. Yes, glass Now was outstanding today. But

1:10

anytime you hear about a pitcher having tingling in his fingers, or what we

1:17

got today from glass Now was cramping in his fingers, it's always concerning because

1:23

a lot of times it's a symptom of some other arm issue. And like

1:29

I mentioned, I have a friend at the Tennis channel that said, you

1:32

know, cramping in the fingers is usually a tennis injury, and usually a

1:38

player in the French Open will have cramping in their hands and then it'll go

1:42

down to their calves. But in this case, Glass Now had cramping in

1:48

his fingers in the seventh inning after giving up an RBI bas hit, and

1:52

if you look at the replay on sports net La the way number one,

1:56

he's screaming at himself in frustration and then screaming in pain. It seems like

2:01

because of what it looked like at the time was a blister, but it

2:06

wasn't a blister. It turned out to be hand cramping. So to me,

2:09

that's the story of today as Tyler Glass now leaves the game, maybe

2:15

just a batter early, but nonetheless a little concerning with the Dodgers' most dominant

2:20

starter goes out of the game with cramping in his right hand. So before

2:25

we do anything else, let's head back to Rogers Center right now to hear

2:30

from the man himself, Tyler Glass. Now, yeah, it was my

2:34

calf, my push off calf and then a little bit at the end my

2:37

hand area. But it's happened before. I just need to I know what

2:39

I have to do to get rid of it. I just didn't think it

2:43

was a little bit more humid than I thought today. I just think I

2:45

sweat so much. There's stuff to like mitigate it. So I'm good to

2:47

go. You think about just your overall outing though, a lot of your

2:51

takeaways and just how you were able to attack them. The fastball was probably

2:54

the best it's spent all year. I was just a lot more behind it,

2:57

a lot more carrey. I was able to get more swinging messes on

2:59

it. Clider felt good, curveball was more there, like not spiking it

3:04

a bunch, but everything felt pretty good. Do you come into a game

3:07

like this expecting to throw as many fastballs as you do? Or is it when you're out there and you start feeling good with it, you guys kind

3:12

of pivots that a little bit more. Yeah, just it's more like off

3:15

of what I feel like in the moment. I guess like warm ups was good, and then I just think as the game went on, I just

3:20

like and they have like the metrics posted and stuff, so I can see

3:23

like how good it's playing. And I think we just leaned on it a lot today. What are the ones you look at that like, let you

3:28

know, it's it's like the verticals higher. I'm just more behind it,

3:31

and I can like sneak it by guys a lot easier. If I'm like

3:34

cutting it where the verticals like under fifteen. It usually just it's not bad.

3:38

It's just not like great. You know. I'm trying to think back

3:40

to your tap of days had their number of good number of times here,

3:46

that's the magic hold and say it one more time. Sorry, if you

3:49

had their number when you were oh god, I don't know. I think

3:53

I heard him say I was like ohing four here or something like that. But I always do remember pitching relatively well, like thinking, yeah, I've

4:00

had some bad ones here too, though, So for the most part,

4:03

I think I've felt pretty good against some couple of rough ones. But I

4:08

don't know. I like the stadium. I like to feel of it.

4:10

Just everything was working tonight, all right, It certainly was. Tyler Glass

4:14

now goes six plus innings today, allows just one earned run in the final

4:17

batter that he faced, and he had nine strikeouts, and look listening to

4:23

him right now, that puts my concern at ease hearing the way he described

4:28

a that he has dealt with similar symptoms before with the lack of hydration,

4:33

and b just the tone of his voice did not sound like a guy that

4:38

was dealing with any other arm issues. But hopefully it continues to trend in

4:43

that direction for Tyler glass Now and the Dodgers, because frankly, he has

4:47

been their most dominant right handed pitcher since Walker Buehler went on the injured list

4:54

two years ago and eventually had to have his second Tommy John surgery. I

5:00

mean, what glass Now is doing right now certainly plays not only in the

5:03

regular season, but in October. Hopefully he can continue this and sustain it

5:09

because traditionally in his career, the first month of the season is usually his

5:15

best month of the season, and the Dodgers certainly want to have him at

5:18

the finish line. But hand cramping, calf cramping, I guess it's not

5:25

as serious as other pitchers that have had similar symptoms, and for example,

5:32

this symptom led to a really bad outcome his teammate Shoeotani last August left to

5:40

start with cramping in his right hand, and a month later we found out

5:45

he had a torn UCL in his elbow. So a lot of times these

5:49

symptoms are leading to something greater. So hopefully that is not the case for

5:56

Tyler Glass now. And just hearing him say that is certainly only a relief.

6:01

Eight six seventy is the phone number. Let's go out to North Hollywood.

6:08

James, you're on Dodger Talk with David vasse Hi. James, Hey,

6:13

David, I gotta tell you, man, in the words that Kevin Costner from Field to Dreams after he hears the voice the second time, I

6:20

was having a good day. I was having a really good day, and

6:24

then you had to sell the alarm about Tyler Glasstell's handcramps. Man, I

6:29

gotta tell you it puts my mind at ease. Two hearing him give that

6:32

post game description. But what I want to talk about today is the importance

6:38

of small ball and how it was so good to see the Dodgers do that

6:43

today between that double steel attempt, Chris Taylor laying down a bunt, Rick

6:48

Monday said a couple of games ago, if you're slumping that hard, you

6:53

know, for one thing. Why aren't you shortening your swing on a two

6:56

strike count, and why aren't you bunting? So I love to see that

7:00

Freddy Freeman is still looking for his a swing and he is still able because

7:04

he's Freddy Freeman to get that sackfly in my mind. In a four to

7:09

two win small ball today, in addition to Tyler Glasnew's standout performance won them

7:15

the game, I'm gonna go one step further on the small ball argument,

7:18

and I want to see if you agree with me on this, David.

7:21

If it's a close game, and it's in the second half of the game,

7:26

late innings, and their starting pitcher the other team starting pitcher is lights

7:31

out, why not have somebody like even Shohey hidden one hundred and nineteen mile

7:38

an hour exit velocity singles. You know the infield's playing back, let him

7:43

lay down a bunt and not only move the runner over get that hit.

7:46

What are your thoughts on even getting the big three, you know, bunt

7:51

ready so that when the falls for it. Sorry, I'm not in the

7:56

Big three or their first four laying down bunts. I'm just not, James.

8:01

But even in a late inning scenario, no, they're too good of

8:07

hitters to be able to change the game with one swing, to have them

8:11

lay down a bunch. Chris Taylor, Miguel Rojas, Austin Barnes, James

8:18

Outman, those type of guys, absolutely, but not those guys. You're

8:24

right, We got other guys on the club that can do that and deliver that in that spot. But I guess you get the big boys to do

8:30

the big things. Yep. That's what they're paid for. They're paid to

8:33

drive in runs and get on base and do damage. And there's no argument

8:39

from my standpoint as far as small ball in certain situations. But it has

8:45

to be the right player. Mookie Betts, Freddie Freeman, sho Heyo,

8:50

tani Will Smith. Absolutely not unless they're giving you the entire left side of

8:56

the infield and it is one of those dominant starts by the opposing pitcher.

9:01

But how many times these days is a pitcher in the game in the seventh

9:05

or eighth inning dominating a start. That doesn't happen too often anymore. And

9:11

James was alluding to the sacrifice spunt that Chris Taylor laid down in the top

9:16

of the fourth inning. Taylor, who has at an awful start to the

9:20

season. Hitting ninth today, had Miguel Rojas at second base after a leadoff

9:26

double and Mookie Betts on deck. Chris Taylor wisely laid down a bunt to

9:33

move Rojas to third base, and then Mooki drove him in with a base

9:37

hit. And that's smart baseball, that's good baseball right there, knowing the

9:41

situation, knowing who you are as a player and how you're swinging the bat

9:48

at that particular time. We go back to the last homestand in bottom of

9:52

the eleventh inning against the Padres Dodgers, down a run, you know you

9:56

need a run, and yeah, there was Miguel Rojas on deck, but

10:01

Mooki Betts was going to get a shot. I still believe Taylor should have

10:05

laid down a bun in that situation, and maybe he learned from his misjudgment

10:11

in that game for him to be able to survey the field and do the

10:16

right thing and have a team at bat. Eight six, six, seven,

10:20

two five seventy is the phone number. Speaking of Mookie Betts, another

10:24

big game for him. Three hits today, including a leadoff triple on a

10:28

misplay sinking line drive by Dalton VARs Show that led to the Dodgers' first run

10:35

in the very first inning thanks to a Freddie Freeman sacrifice fly with one out,

10:39

and the Dodgers were often running the first four innings. They did not

10:43

score again from the fifth inning on, but their pitching really took care of

10:48

things. But Mooki, playing his five hundredth game as a Dodger, came

10:54

up big again with three hits. Let's head back to Toronto to hear from

10:58

Mooki Betts. Not that I'm aware of, but I'm sure someone on the

11:05

outside, someone on the outside could probably kind of see it. And not

11:09

that Docks on the outside or anything, but I know internally, no,

11:13

there was no panic or anything. We just keep playing the game. You

11:18

know, you're gonna go through us and your downs. There's just important to

11:20

show up every day. One thing, the other thing you said that probably

11:24

rings more true is that you guys might have gotten tired of playing middling baseball.

11:31

I don't know what that means, so oh yeah, I mean,

11:37

but that's part of it. Though. You know, there's one hundred and

11:39

sixty two games. There's no way you're going to be on your A plus

11:41

game every game. And so you're gonna go through your stretches. Every team

11:45

does, and it's just important to understand it and just embrace it while you're

11:50

while you're there, which amusing the guy. It's friendly rotation like glass now,

11:54

the way he's pitching now, I mean everything, you know, it's

11:58

that's huge. That's huge. I mean, but it's not even just him,

12:01

you know, it's kind of everybody that's that's uh, that's throwing well.

12:03

And but for him specifically, I mean, it's just huge. You

12:07

know that every time he gets the ball, you know, you can book

12:11

at least six seven innings you know of no runs or one run, you

12:16

know, so that's always gonna give us a chance to win. Both sides

12:20

of what makes the glass house so tough to hit lays on like that.

12:22

I mean, he's just the stuff, I mean, throwing strikes and it's

12:26

hard to hit his stuff. You don't know what's coming and all looks the

12:30

same coming out of his coming out of his hand, and it's just,

12:33

uh, it's tough tough to hit what's been made of some woo's in the

12:39

stadium as coming. Did you hear the Dodger's chance at all? Today? No, I don't listen to I didn't I heard the booze, but once

12:46

I heard the booze, I just kind of turned my ears off and don't

12:50

pay attention to it. You know, it's just the twenty six guys.

12:54

That's all. That's all that matters. All right. There's Mookie Beds at

12:56

Rogers Center after another day being the man that is the catalyst for this Dodger

13:03

offense. And the season of Mookie Bets continued today with three hits, scored

13:09

a run, drove in a run. And if you look at what Mooky's

13:11

done, we're getting closer to the end of the month. And Muki has

13:16

played twenty nine games now this season. Today was his five hundredth as a

13:20

Dodger. He leads Major League Baseball with twenty nine runs scored. He has

13:26

more hits than anybody else in Major League Baseball forty five. His batting average,

13:31

of course, is the highest in Major League Baseball three ninety one,

13:35

and his OPS is eleven fifty. This is the season of Mookie Bets.

13:41

I know Otani gets the ooze and the os with the one hundred and ten

13:46

one hundred and nineteen mile an hour base hits, but at the end of

13:48

the day, in the box score, they all count the same. And

13:52

right now, Mookie Bets leads in almost every single category offensively in Major League

13:58

Baseball. He has only i should say, six stolen bases or excuse me,

14:03

six home runs and seven stolen bases, but six is second on the

14:07

team to Otani, and he leads the Dodgers in stolen bases with seven.

14:13

He only stole fourteen last year. So I kind of just gave you guys

14:20

a sneak peak of what I saw with Mooki in spring training. And it's

14:24

not just about what you see on MLB the show or what is projected on

14:31

these websites. These guys are not robots. They have a heartbeat, and

14:35

when you have a conversation with these guys, you get and look them in

14:39

the eye, you have a great feel for what they're capable of doing and

14:46

how locked in they are on the season. And I could see that Mooki

14:50

Bets in spring training was the Mookie Bets I saw in spring training in twenty

14:56

twenty. And hopefully he is going to go through you know, the downtimes.

15:01

But as Freddie Freeman has said before, the highs are highs, right,

15:05

you're hitting three thirty three, forty three seventy in a month, but

15:09

when you do have those down months, you don't really want to go down

15:13

to the two thirties. As far as your batting average, you want to

15:16

be somewhere between two seventy and two to eighty. Just maintain until you get

15:20

hot again, and I know that's a goal for Mookie Bets as well.

15:24

We're going to take a time out here on Dodger Talk. When we come

15:28

back, you will hear from Jason Hayward speaking of a heartbeat and leadership and

15:33

how you really can't put a number on that. We got a sneak peek

15:37

behind the scenes thanks to backstage Dodgers on what Jason Hayward means as far as

15:43

a leader for the Dodgers, and we'll share that with you when we continue.

15:46

After the Dodgers win their sixth in a row beat in the Blue Jays

15:50

four to two on a five to seventy LA. Sports Talk is available on

16:06

Back to more Dodger Talk with Dodger insider David Vasse two two Well that's your

16:12

ground ball up the middle of a bay ship. Molky's driven in his twenty

16:15

third run and the Dodgers now lead it Ford to nothing. Mookie Bets,

16:22

playing his five hundredth game as a Dodger, leads their way, leads the

16:26

Way to a four to two win with three heads as the Dodgers have won

16:32

six in a row after beating the Blue Jays today at Rogers Center four to

16:36

two. Welcome back to Dodger Talk. David Vasse with you until the bottom

16:41

of the hour on this beautiful day in Los Angeles. Eight sixty six nine

17:19

the corner. Eight six six nine, eight seven two five seventy is the

17:23

phone number. It was good to see Evan Phillips for the second time on

17:27

this road trip work himself out of a jam. And in Washington, d

17:33

C. He got help by bad base running by the Nationals. Luis Garcia

17:38

Junior got caught in between, got no help from his third base coach,

17:44

and Andy pat Has made a strong throw to Max Munsey to get Garcia to

17:49

gift the Dodgers and out and help Phillips get out of a bas's loaded jam.

17:55

Today it was Phillips that got himself into a jam. After striking out

17:59

the first two batters, he started to not be able to put away hitters

18:04

and there was a comebacker that you know, this is always the debate easier

18:11

said than done, right, because there was a ball hit back to him

18:14

that went off his glove. There's always the second guessers or the armchair quarterbacks

18:19

that say, hey, let it go, let it go, try not

18:22

to field it. So in your second basement or your shortstop can field it.

18:26

But easier said than done. When you're competing in the heat of the

18:30

game, your first reaction as a pitcher is to stick your glove up and

18:33

try to feel the ball yourself, and that kind of worked against Phillips today

18:38

in the ninth inning. That got him in some trouble and eventually cost him

18:44

a run. In that ninth inning, not only did he not make the

18:48

play, he then threw the ball away, which compounded the mistake on David

18:53

Schneider's I guess comebacker to him and then Cavin Bigio single him home. But

19:00

luckily there were two outs and Phillips was able to get Isaiah Kiner falafa h

19:07

I never say that name right. I'll do what Steven Nelson does, go the nickname way IKF. He got him to fly out to center field for

19:15

the final out of the game, and he picks up his eighth save of

19:18

the season. Isaiah Kiner filefa. There we go a guy that was supposed

19:25

to be a lot better that he turned out to be. He was with the Yankees last year and now he's a bench player for the Blue Jays.

19:32

And in case you're wondering speaking up the blue Jays, in that ninth inning,

19:36

Evan Phillips struck out Justin Turner. Turner was zero for four today with

19:41

three strikeouts against his former team. Eight six six ninety seven, two five

19:47

seventy is the phone number. And like we talked about yesterday, in his

19:51

nine years, Justin Turner was not only a really good player, but he

19:56

was a really great leader as well in that club house. And you've heard

20:00

Dave Roberts say it the last couple of years that Jason Hayward has really stepped

20:07

up to be a leader in the clubhouse and hold other players accountable. Because

20:11

if you go back all the way to the late nineties early two thousands,

20:17

when Joe Tory was the manager, he always said Derek Jeter, Jorge Posada,

20:22

Andy Pettitt, those guys were an extension of him and always policed the

20:26

clubhouse for him, so it made his job a lot easier. Justin Turner

20:30

did that for Dave Roberts. Chase Sutley did that for Dave Roberts. So

20:36

the changing of the guard happened last year. And Jason Hayward, who we

20:41

had heard in Chicago was that guy for the Cubs all those years, even

20:45

though the production was not there, has become that guy for the Dodgers and

20:51

backstage Dodgers, which is one of the best Dodger shows on sports net LA

20:56

had a preview out on their sports net La instagram, and I thought it

21:00

was a great example of what Dave Roberts and these other guys are talking about

21:07

as far as Hayward being a leader because I'll set the scene last homestand Taylor

21:12

Tramill, who was since designated for assignment, was picked up in place of

21:18

Hayward for a short time before the Dodgers called up Andy pa Has. Anyway,

21:23

Taylor Tremmell and James Outman before a game at home are playing catch,

21:29

right, and Hayward is doing his jogging getting ready to run the bases as

21:33

part of a step to come back to the Dodgers and take a Listen to

21:38

what Jason Hayward had to say to Taylor Tremill and James Outman as he was

21:42

just observing them playing catch. What's this, love cutter, you're doing right

21:48

now? Yeah? What is this? That's the same blue through the second

21:52

base in Minnesota, the one way to run and tag to win the second

21:56

So I'm just wondering, like, wow, I work on that and not

21:59

like work on true the whole time through right, because Mookie's gonna say the

22:04

same movie. Gonna be harder on you than me with that. But Muka

22:07

ban Ifield like you throw a ball like this movie, but like yeah,

22:15

and he might lob it to you, but he'll throw it as true as

22:18

possible. You talk it out back, puddle back. Hey, next time,

22:30

y'all throw y'all clean that up in the show play with the Dodgers,

22:37

and y'all know what you're doing. You know what you're doing, all right.

22:41

There's Jason Hayward miked up for an upcoming episode of Backstage Dodgers and at

22:47

the end there he's talking to James Outman, who he really helped last year

22:52

get through some struggles during his rookie season, and that's who he was talking

22:56

to at the end. Hey, you know better, you know how we

23:00

do things here. I would not let you get away with that last year,

23:03

So don't try to get away with it now because you're long tossing with

23:07

Taylor Tremmell. And that's just a great example, behind the scenes example of

23:15

leadership that happens. I know, somebody called a Dodger Talk last Wednesday or

23:22

two wednesdays ago after they got shut up by the Nationals and said, hey,

23:26

why doesn't somebody just put an arm around Chris Taylor after he strikes out?

23:30

Where's the chemistry. That's not how it works. What you just heard

23:34

right there, That's how it works keeping guys accountable in their preparation because when

23:41

the game starts, it becomes second nature. If you're practicing lazy, you're

23:47

going to make lazy throws. And that's what his point was to Taylor Tremmeell

23:52

and James Outman. And let's face it, I'm not trying to, you

23:55

know, pile on Taylor Tremmeell, but the facts are Taylor Tremiel was a

24:00

first round pick by I believe the Padres, then went to the Reds in

24:03

a big trade. They thought he was going to be big for them.

24:07

He wasn't, gets traded to the Mariners, wasn't did not fulfill his potential,

24:15

and look at him now. He's a journeyman. And maybe the way

24:18

you practice is an indictment on how you play in the games. And that's

24:23

why Jason Hayward is trying to keep James Outman honest as well. It's your

24:29

second year, you're in the big leagues, you're playing for the Dodgers.

24:33

The expectations are super high, and you got to practice like you want to

24:37

play. I hate to refer to John Wooden here, but John Wooden's one

24:42

of his pillars of success was saying to his players, failing to prepare is

24:49

preparing to fail. And that's basically what Jason Hayward was saying. So I

24:55

just wanted to share that with you, since everybody always wants to call about

24:59

Team K chemistry and leadership. That's an example of it. From Jason Hayward.

25:03

Eight six six ninety seven two five seventy is the phone number we got

25:07

25:33

Now, Isabelle, I love Vout again. That's the problem. I love

25:38

baseball players get paid? Did they get paid like every month or so,

26:07

like every two weeks? I would just really doing that last night. I

26:11

know it's a dumb crazy I think the Dodgy to be okay. Wow,

26:17

Isabelle, Wow Isabelle. I wasn't uh, I wasn't expecting that question.

26:23

I would believe it's every two weeks like all of us, and they get

26:27

paid for one hundred and eighty days. That's how I understand they get paid.

26:32

But yeah, interesting question there, Isabelle. Why are you? Are

26:36

you looking to see who gets the biggest paychecks? Maybe you might meet them

26:40

out there one day? Yeah? No, you know what I am trying

26:44

to go to. I am trying to go to a Dodger game this year.

26:47

It's so bad. I like to me my whole dream and one of DJA mead the whole team. But then I know that will probably never happen.

26:55

Wow. You let me know if you want to come to a Dodger game. You let me know. I'll tell take care of it for you.

27:02

Oh okay, well I'll instagram you that ever happened. So but but

27:14

not gonna win all one hundred and sixty two games. Well now they're winning

27:18

six in a row. They've won six in a row. Now, Isabelle,

27:22

27:25

winning uh formula? You know what? Nobody here and now County oh angel

27:32

27:45

We'll see how the Dodgers do. So okay, Isabelle, you have a

27:48

great rest of your weekend. Always great to hear from you. Isabelle and

27:52

Anaheim a big Dodger fan and a big loyal listener to AM five to seventy

27:57

LA Sports. Hey, we want to send out our congratulations to one of

28:02

our teammates here at AM five to seventy. Kevin Figures, the executive producer

28:07

of the Rogan and Rodney Show, a man that does the sports updates on

28:11

the weekends at Fox Sports Radio. He and his wife Lauren welcomed in their

28:17

first child, Oliver Kirk Figures. So we want to send our congratulations out

28:22

to Kevin and Lauren Figures, and all the best to Oliver, who was

28:27

born this morning. So congratulations to the Figures family and the AM five to

28:33

seventy LA Sports family. Just got one bigger So looking forward to meeting Oliver

28:38

one day and we send out all our love to baby and mama, So

28:42

congratulations. Tomorrow the Dodgers will look for the three game sweep in Toronto.

28:49

It will be a bullpen game of sorts. They will have Michael Grove start

28:55

the bullpen game. It will be the first time Grove is starting a game

28:59

this season. He has pitched fifteen inning innings in relief and before the game,

29:03

remember I told you styles make fights, and Glass now has dominated right

29:08

handed hitters and the Blue Jays have been miserable against right handed pitching, so

29:14

it's not a surprise the Dodgers going with a bullpen game to create an extra

29:18

day of rest for Paxton and Yamamoto and maybe now for glassnow himself. Are

29:25

gonna have Michael Groves start the game because he's been pretty tough on right handed

29:30

hitters, especially when he's thrown that slider and cutter. He's going up against

29:34

former Giant Kevin Gossman, who is winless this year. Gossman is zero to

29:40

three with an ERA of five fifty seven. Morongo Casino. Dodgers on Deck

29:45

begins at nine to thirty tomorrow, with first pitch at ten thirty seven.

29:51

Thanks to Coling Ye for all his help at our Burbanks Studios, Thanks to

29:56

Dwayne McDonald for his help at Rogers Center in Toronto, and thanks to you

30:12

ago. So the iHeartRadio app is where you can find everything Dodgers, and

30:18

30:33

a row. Enjoy the rest of your weekend. See you
