Transcript

Dodger Talk is sponsored by La Care Health Plan, providing affordable healthcare insurance to millions of Angelinos for over twenty five years. And now your voice for Dodger Talk. Like back David Vasse. We are live at Dodgers Stadium. After the Diamondbacks put it on the Dodgers tonight twelve to four. The final score we have phone lines open at eight, six, six, nine, eighty seven two five seventy. The Diamondbacks scored eleven unanswered runs and the last three

games the Dodgers have allowed twenty nine runs. That will not get it done. The Dodgers talked about pitching and proving their pitching, and they did, but things have started to fall apart a little bit here, especially with the injury to Yoshi Yamamoto. Since then, the Dodgers starting pitchers ERA is for

eighty four and that include dudes. Gavin Stone's complete game shutout last Wednesday, So they got a clunker from Glass now in San Francisco, a clunker from Paxton in San Francisco, and young Gavin Stone, the rookie, did not have his best start tonight. Three innings, seventy seven pitches, and the Dodgers Fall twelve to four. Christian Walker. I know you may laugh, for get a chuckle when I call him the Dodger Killer. Well, that's

exactly what he is. In forty one games at Dodger Stadium in his career, he said seventeen home runs. He is now homered in four straight games at Dodger Stadium. In eight games alone this year, he has seven home runs and eleven RBIs. That is a Dodger killer right there. You know, back in the early two thousands or late nineties, there was a player for the Phillies and Marlins by the name of eisen Reich. I feel like Christian Walker is putting him to shame with the way he has been owning the

Dodgers This year just has been incredible what he's doing. And with his seventeen home runs and forty one career games at Dodger Stadium, he's on pace if he were to play one hundred and sixty two games at Dodger Stadium for sixty one home runs. That's how dominant he's been tonight, four for five, two home runs, four RBIs. I mean, the list goes on and on. What I could say about Christian Walker and let's not forget what he

and the Diamondbacks did to the Dodgers' last NLDS when they swept him. And right now the Dodgers have split the first eight games against the Arizona Diamondbacks. And yeah, I know the guys down there remind me how big of a lead they had and how it's all about October. But you got to put yourself in the right mental spot to perform in October. And you also have to put yourself in the best position to run the table in October. And

if you're playing in the first round of the postseason. I know wildcard teams have run the table all the way to the World Series. I know the Diamondbacks did it last year. I know the Phillies obviously did it the last couple of years. But that's an uphill climb, and the Dodgers would not

be a wildcard team. But right now they're in a race not with just the Padres to just maintain their lead, but more importantly, they're in a race with the Milwaukee Brewers because the Dodgers are only a game better in the lost column than the Brewers. The Brewers lead the NL Central with a fifty two and thirty five record. They won again tonight and they're coming to town for a three game series. The first three games the Dodgers and Brewers will

see each other this year. Now, if I had to money on it, I would say the Dodgers have a better chance of continuing leading the NL West at this pace than the Brewers do because their pitching is starting to fall apart as well. But nobody ever thought the Brewers would even be in first place in the week n now Central, but here they are fifty two and thirty five, a game behind the Dodgers for the second seed in the National

League postseason. The Phillies right now have the best record in the National League by five games over the Dodgers six over the Brewers. I don't see that changing. It may, but I don't see it changing. So what you have here is the Dodgers trying to win out to have that buy in the first round, and I know it hasn't worked out. With the five days off, that's an excuse. Andrew Freeman has said it. Dave Roberts has said it. That's an excuse. You want those five days to just get

everything in order rather than having to play the best of three. And that's why I keep talking about not allowing complacency to set in. You have to still play with some sense of urgency. I know the Dodgers are really talented. I understand Max Months. He's been out since May fifteenth. I understand Mookie Bets is out now since Father's Day and won't return until the first or second week of August. I understand Yoshiyamamoto's out. I understand all that.

But the facts are, the Dodgers have a really good team. But what's happening now is you're having players that they were now conning on to play every

day and getting regular at bats against righty's and lefties. I'm talking about Chris Taylor, I'm talking about Key k Hernandez, and even to a certain extent, Jason Hayward is getting run out there a lot more than I'm sure Dave Roberts would ideally like, which I believe should start to change a little little bit here, because the fact is, Miguel Vargas, when he has had an opportunity to start games, he has delivered. He has a nine or

ten game hitting streak when he's in the starting lineup. Vargas this year albeit in limited opportunities, is hitting three oh six. Jason Hayward is scuffling a little bit right now. Uh, he's hitting two o five. His ops is is seven oh three. Key A Hernandez is hitting two o six. His ops is five eighty. I just feel like you got to do something to change things up and get a kid that obviously has worked hard to make adjustments and has earned, in my opinion and many others, an opportunity to

get more at bats. Eight six nine eighty seven two five seventy is the phone number. The only bright spot for the Dodgers tonight was Freddie Freeman and Taoscar Hernandez hitting back to back home runs in the first sinning. Freddy was on base all four times today and drove in three with one swing of the bat in the first inning. Let's head downstairs right now to here from Freddy

Freeman on sports in at LA. I mean lost the three innings. I think that's good planned by us as an offense to get the starters out and get to their bullpen. But first inning for big leave start, it's really hard to put it into words. I'm sure he had a lot of nerves out there A lot of excitement, just so I was falling behind hitters in that first time we were able to jump on him, but steadled down a little bit, got through a couple more innings, and you know, the

bullpen, we just didn't have anything for it. Recity drinking. Feel like it just kind of dragged a little bit. I look, definitely, it was like nine to fifteen. It was like the fifth ending. I was like, whoa pre pitchcloth. But yeah, just a longer game, but I wish we would have won. Is that something that like can impact you guys with the plate at all? When it is no, no, not at all. That sounds like a tired beat rider at the baseball game having

to sit through ooh, a three hour, twenty three minute game. We're at a baseball stadium watching a baseball game. I mean, there are worse things to be at. Do you think Freddy Freeman cares about being on the field for three hours and twenty three minutes. He wants to win the game. He wants more hits, he wants more at bats. He doesn't care about that. I mean, I will say this about guys like Jason Hayward, Guys like Miguel Rojas, being on your feet in long innings obviously is

going to take its toll. But as far as asking a player about, you know, how long the game went, obviously abnormal these days with the pitch clock. But if you look at what three or two of the last four games for the Dodgers have gone over three hours, that eleven inning win in San Francisco went three hours and forty five minutes tonight, nine inning affair that saw the Diamondbacks score twelve runs on sixteen hits. The Dodgers four runs

on six hits and did not after the first inning. Uh, that's a little bit different. But hey, when you're giving up hits and you're walking hitters and you're not getting outs, the game is going to go a little bit longer pitch clock or no pitch clock, and that's what's alarming. Eleven unanswered runs for the Diamondbags tonight just not a great showing by the Dodgers. Eight six, six, nine, seven, two five seventy is the phone number. Let's go out to topanga. Ronnie lead us off on Dodger Talk.

Hi, Ronnie, Hey David, thanks for taking my call. Man. You could not be more spot on with that postgame press conference and hearing the praise being heaped on Christian Walker after the seemingly like I don't know, five or six years, he's done this to us. We just don't need it right now. That's first thing. I think. That's a reflection of what I see in the pitching staff versus the lineup, and spare with me here. We have some we have some dogs in the pitching staff, like

these guys like Bobby Miller when he got out of that jam yesterday. I think Spectrum Sports that could do a better job of not panning in on what he's saying. It's pretty obvious what he couldn't do. But that guy run through the wall glass now, same thing, Gavin Stone. I thought, that's what fans want, by the way, you know, they might got players of it. Fans want to be inside the game. That's what everybody

tells us, So that's what they're doing. Yeah, that's getting to my point though, you know the pitchers they want it right And I was kind of worried coming into this game because Stone, did you know, going nine innings, granted it with the White Sox, you might as well be thrown

to like dummies at this at that point. But our lineup and like I think our position players is just so docile and they and they take on the energy I think of the manager of like, hey, you know, it's not every game isn't life or death, but like these games against the Dinonbacks are frustrating because they have treated the blueprint of how to stretch us out these long games kind of wind you know, wear down our bullpen, they taxed, the starters are deep, kind of shows wearing hair here and there.

We're making, you know, massive substitutions in the middle of the game. It just worries me, David, going into the latter half of the season. If we're breaking down now and we don't have let's say, reinforcements coming up in triple A and we don't have the arms in triple A to come

up and help starting. What do you mean by breaking down? Well, it's just today was a micro last night and tonight to meet or a microcosm of what we run into every single postseason is a team that feels like an upstart and we just kind of like our engine is like always you know, always at five thousand RPMs and they're always at eight thousand and eventually it's gonna like we're gonna run into a snag, like we're gonna have a breakpad, you know, go bad, or like we're gonna have a guy. We

got to get better than that. I understand to a certain extent what you're saying, but during a long one sixty two, uh, the players have cannot be as emotional as you are or sometimes I get doing the show. They just can't do that and be successful through the peaks and the valleys of a season. But I will say this, and this is what I've been trying to convey the last two or three nights. If you remember, Tim Grover showed up at Dodger camp in spring training on the invitation by Jason Hayward.

Tim Grover was the personal trainer for Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Dwayne Wade, and now is a motivational speaker. And what he preached was not flipping the switch on and off, but not dimming the switch. Right, you have a dimmer in your house, or I'm sure you've been to somebody's house where they don't have the straight switch. It's a dimmer, and that's what he warned against. And that's what I'm seeing right now. I'm seeing

the Dodgers dim the lights and then turn them back on. And I feel like in September, especially the last few years, the Dodgers have dim the lights and then all of a sudden they can't bring them back up. I am warning against that again this year. And that's what you're spot on.

That's what compelled me to call that. I haven't called ever, but it was what you said after the postgame show, or yeah, during the postgame show, when it was like, we're heating praise on the opponent, who's our division rival, who kicked our butt last year and the year before. Nobody wants to hear Nobody wants to hear anybody in a Dodger uniform tonight say, Hey, I really enjoyed Christian Walker or admire Christian Walker. Nobody wants

to hear that tonight. I understand where Dave's coming from, and he's a great ambassador for the game of baseball, but that's not what anybody. That's not what Ronnie and Tapega wants to hear. Hey, Ronnie, you want to come out to one of the big games against the Brewers. I got two tickets for Sunday. Oh my god, well I can't say no to that, all right, then don't hold on. You got those tickets,

a pair of tickets to Sunday's game against the Brewers. And look, I know I don't want to overhype series in July or April or May, but we're past the halfway point in the season and now the standings mean something,

and seeding in the postseason means something. So the Dodgers not only have a big three game series against the team that they're only one game better than to earn that second seed in the postseason as it stands right now, but also when they leave Dodgers Stadium on Sunday, they travel to Philadelphia for a three game series against the Phillies. And you don't think that place is going to be a playoff atmosphere. That's where you can't just turn the dimmer up again.

You gotta be ready for that before you get on that plane. Eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy is the phone number Dodgers get routed by the Diamondbacks tonight, twelve to four. Also, in case you missed it, only show Heo Toime was voted as an All Star starter in the National League's on the National League side of things for the All Star Game, but ta Oscar Hernandez more than likely will be the replacement for Fernando Tattis Junior,

who has a stress fracture in one of his legs. And Freddie Freeman should and more than likely will replace Bryce Harper at first base, who has an injury as well. And by the way, for all of you that were concerned about Freddie Freeman when he was hitting two to eighty, I don't think you should be concerned anymore. He's hitting three to zero two. He had a tremendous month of June. His OPS now is nine to twenty. He not only tied the game last night with a double, he scored the

winning run last night. And tonight hit his thirteenth home run of the season off of the Diamondbacks starter Christian Minya, a three run home run. So I would be it's safe to say you gotta trust the resume and the track record, and Freddie Freeman is that guy. And by the way, after Dodger Talk on a five to seventy LA Sports, Ben Mallard comes on and

for the first time ever, I actually learned something from Ben Maller. Last night, Freddie Freeman's game time double in the ninth inning gave him twenty five doubles on the season, and he has now doubled twenty five times or more in thirteen straight years. Only Jeff Bagwell has done it more in consecutive seasons. So if Freddie doubles twenty five times next year, him and Jeff Bagwell will have that distinction as far as Major League history goes eight six six nine,

eight seven two five seventy is the phone number. Let's go out to the gouna, Miguel, Paul, you're on Dodger talking. Hi, Paul, Hello, David, thank you. I have a suggestion. Why did you bring Autman back up for the Milely Platoonum with Pies and Senna and platoon platoon Vargas and right with Hayward and send bgo down? Maybe why not do that? Well, we'll see what happens at the trade deadline. I feel like maybe that could be an option, Paul. I'm not going to rule

it out. I think we all have to see where the dust settles after July thirtieth. Well, why wait till why wait four weeks? Why don't you just bring out and back up and platoon them with pies, great lefty righty matchups and platoon Vargas now with with with Haywood. Now is now? Maybe you know why wait a month. I'm not against the platoon of Vargas and Hayward. I feel like Vargas should be getting more of those starts, more opportunities, no doubt about it. And you could have tai Oscar Hernandez

play right field and Miguel Vargas play left field. Let's see what you have in Miguel Vargas. He's here and last year he was. You're starting second basement for the first half of the season. He's a better hitter this year. Let's give him a little bit more opportunity. I'm with you on that, Paul, as far as the outman PAJZ platoon not an outrageous thought. I'm not sure what the Dodgers are thinking on that. Thanks for the phone

call. Let's go out to Ramone in Arizona. Ramone, are you a Dodger fan in Arizona or are you one of those rare diamondback fans in Arizona? No? No, I bleed Dodger blue and I was Actually I actually met you opening opening series against the Cardinals in the stairway as you were going up to the broadcast booth. I don't know if you remember that I shook your hand, but remember that. No. I I attend Dodger games once

a month. I drive out to LA from Arizona. I want to be heading out to the Boston series in a few weeks, all right, And I was just there for the Angels series. But my question was, but first off, I wanted to talk about Gavin Stone's performance. For some reason, I had a hunch that he was going to have a bad outing after the great performance he had in Colorado last week. And for some reason, I didn't think he was gonna fare too well tonight. And I don't know,

I just had that hunt. Maybe that's just being negative. I mean you're just being negative. No, not being negative. I just had that feeling that he wasn't gonna come out and uh, you know, have a good performance for some reason, and uh it turned out to be true. Yeah. My other question was, I really haven't heard anything on what injury that Yamamoto has. Have they announced what it actually is yet. Yeah,

they're they're saying publicly, it's a rotator cuff injury. So you know he's not coming back anytime before August, is what Dave Roberts has been saying. So we'll see. I feel like we'll get more details on yamamotos injury after the trade deadline. That seems to be a good time on when the Dodgers will give us a little bit more information on if they believe Yamamoto will return. That's just the way it plays out. Thanks for the phone call,

appreciate it, Ramone. I feel like Ramone called in just to tell us I told you so about Gavin Stone, even though he never told us publicly. He felt that way. He could have called in last night and said, hey, I don't have a good feeling about Gavin Stone tomorrow. But he did not. That's not on the record, Ramone. I'm not counting that I told you so. We're gonna take a time out here on Dodger

Talk. When we come back, Jose Mota will tell you something. He'll check in after the Dodgers get blown out by the Diamondbacks tonight twelve to four on a five to seventy LA Sports on air at AM five to seventy online at amfive seventy LA sports dot com and available my podcast on the iHeartRadio apps. He's Dodger Talk with David Bassi. He had more hits last night and the previous six games combined. He swings again, Taot's off, this deep

left by the scoreboard, had another to the scoreboard. Back to back home runs for Freeman in Hernandez and now a four to one. That's when Stephen Nelson was happy. He was sad Stephen Nelson after that. The Diamondbacks score eleven unanswered runs against the Dodgers after Freddie Freeman and Taoscar Hernandez hit back to back home runs in the first inning as they routed the Dodgers tonight twelve to four in Game two of this three game series.

Daniels Jewelers own the Dream eight six, six, nine eighty seven, two five seventy is the phone number.

Let's hit out to our man, Jose, Moda, it's time to go around the horn with Jose Mota. Man Jose, I hope the Dodgers Spanish radio booth was not sad the last eight innings of the game or seven innings of the game tonight. No, as Mike Soshi was said, we're a little sloppy there ourselves too. So you know, it seems like we're far removed from this very dramatic win last night, doesn't it what happened, it

really does. And what's concerning to me, Jose, including last night, is in the last three games the Dodgers have played, their opponents have scored twenty nine runs. I'll point out to the starting pitching. I think you mentioned already passed in my glass. Now you know, a short start tonight. Gavistone didn't have it. I sent you a little message in the first inning where I just saw something that I just was not comfortable with with him.

I don't think you had anything to do with what happened in the son and three pitches against the White Sox, But you know we miss spots, Dave, and I learned this a long time ago from like Rick Sutcliffe, Like, hey, if I don't have a release point that's consistent with where my body's going, and I'm losing my arm a lot. It's gonna cause some problems. And that is the difference between two or three inches or foot

in or outside or hit able pitch. Well, lots of he's fun at ninety six, but there's a way in which a player, a hitter, can see the ball a little bit better antisipate what he might be throwing. But mechanically, I just didn't see him where we saw him in Chicago. And perhaps there's a second time the Dbacks I've gotten to him, so maybe they have something on him that the other teams don't have. Yeah, very good point. Jose Mota is joining us after the Diamondbacks beat the Dodgers tonight

twelve to four. All right, Jose, I know the easy answer is to put up four fingers when Christian Walker comes to the plate, But as Dave Roberts said a lot of times, the situation does not dick hate that. What do the Dodgers do with Christian Walker? Because who's waiting behind him? And say who's a better chance to get out? And usually the way

he's the baseball gainst the Dodgers is a guy behind him. The other thing, too, is you know there's a pitch inside that he didn't like very much from Michael Peterson, and it was doing the broadcast, I said, I guarantee you the next pitch is not going to be inside, because pitchers nowadays are not repeating inside or doubling up inside or tripling up inside, and hitters what what they do nowadays is so many hitters have told me I see

a pitch inside and I know it's either an accident or a purpose pitch, and I'm looking middle out the next pitch, and that's exactly what happened there. So in short, I think at some times somebody who's that hot, I'm not promoting or advocating for hitting somebody, but make him feel a little uncomfortable, as teams have done to show Hal tany here this season. You

get him on his heels and there's a different ballgame. So there's nothing wrong in his soul power within the playing a clean game to make a guy feel a little uncomfortable. So maybe that miss stake pitch does not become a home run. But then if you have choices, well you're gonna pitch him make sure that if you're gonna miss, you're gonna miss by a lot. But pitt your spouse. That's to what you're gonna do against it, because certainly there's no stopping this guy. I mean, this guy was a go about

the Baltimore Orioles. He you know, he bloomed as an a result of player, and he's not stopping. Besides that, he's a team leader in the clubhouse, and he's a guy that plays a tremendous first base over you know, as a go go of caliber first base. But you got to at some point just pick your points. This is not gonna hurt me,

and I'm gonna go out there and make him uncomfortable. It's funny you say that because unfortunately tonight in nineteen ninety three, Big d Don Drysdale passed away when the Dodgers were in Montreal. What would Don Drysdale say about Christian Walker and how to handle him? Very easy. I need to have a part of the play, my son. That's a big deal with say son, I need part of the play too, because I need to feed my family. And I'm gonna give you one try, but you give me the other.

And that means I'm gonna get you off the play because I need to eat outside too, So that's exactly how you try to fix that. Jose Mode is joining us after the Diamondbacks score eleven unanswered runs against the Dodgers to beat them tonight twelve to four. All right, Jose, what is the

state of Miguel Vargas on this roster? Are you with me and many others that he needs or should get more at bats because there's a lot of guys on this team that are getting a lot more opportunities and not doing a lot with it. Big believer, And when I see a player that's not playing every day and comes in and gives you a good game, the fact that he's telling you with his actions you need to consider me a little bit more.

And I think it's gotten to the point now where Vargas has shown right anders left enders that he's going to give you a pretty good at bat. You know, Miguel last season on the record, was not playing with healthy hands. He had a bad pinky, he had a bad index finger. All these things happened early. He couldn't grip the bat. He's a different hitter, his shorter swing. He understands the game in the zone a little bit better. And besides that, what else do you want from a young

player that not play him? And then when he gets in there, he gives you a pretty good at bat and produces for you. Plus the ball is playing off his back pretty nicely too, and it's time. It's time to give him a better look. He works hard every single afternoon with Clay McCollen deno evil out there in the outfield. He's throwing the ball better from the outfield, better routse, and he's only going to get better with a

rouse the more he plays. But I agree with you and the listeners, so you know, Jason Heyward, at this point, Tom playing more than was expected. Last year, He played more than the DoD Usic fit to him to play. And at some point you got to consider all that, and I'll ta Gavin Lucks to me, Dave is a guy that you got to consider, where's this production and where are you going with him? Because certainty from him you need way more than you're getting from him. And obviously

I'm not promoting or advocating viguas play second base. By the same time as you got to be in that liner for a reason and right now from Gavin Lux you need way more and Vargas to God that can challenge you out there the outfield and hopefully some production in the bottom lineup righters and lefty that it doesn't matter. Well, that's the thing. Right last year, Vargas was the Dodgers starting second baseman. He played only left field, and only has

played left field this year in the minor leagues. And here with the Dodgers, would it be out of the question to play him at second base if the Dodgers want to keep the same outfielders out there against certain matchups at this point, yes, because the reps have not been there and he's been told,

hey, you're going to be an outfielder this time. And remember this kid has gone from third base so little first base to the outfield, and I saw that happen with my previous team, and for young players it becomes quite confusing. So wherever he is right now in the outfield, he's progressing.

It feels comfortable. That's where he needs to be at this point because then you don't want to be a liability at second base defensively, because you know the pitching staff depends on guys you know catching the Baseball's Dodgers overall, even though they did not play a very good defensive game today they are one of the best, most solid baseball teams defensively. You consider everything he comes

out on the week with reports on the defensive side. Did you, speaking of defense, did you believe ta Oscar Hernandez had a few defensive lapses out there tonight. I can count three of them. There's a ball that he was going to leave the ballpark. There's a caught off throw to the cutoff man that was not made, and you know we have thrown out of the lines. There's three cutoffmen by the way in that play to left field,

and all three of them were not able to play. And then obviously with Corbyn Carroll challenging him and saying, I know, I'm going to see how he charges baseball. I'm going to stop at second base and take off because I know you're gonna be on your heels, and that's exactly what happens. So we're going to tell this one. But for sure he knows he makes

a couple of mistakes and he needs to get over that. But over the team needs to play better because obviously there's some bats missing, and the offense has been very inconsistent. All right, Jose, thanks a lot for stopping by. Appreciate the insight, and we'll see who's in the starting lineup tomorrow against Zach Gallen. Shake it up a little bit, nothing wrong with that. There's a lot of games left. Thanks, Ose, appreciate it.

Audios. There he goes Jose Mota, part of the Dodgers Spanish radio broadcast with Pep Bee and Ningez and the great Fernando of Alnezuela. And by the way, in case you're wondering which Dodger has had success against Zach Gallen, there aren't too many. I'm looking right now. Show hey, Otani only three at bats, zero for three. Maybe the guy that has had the most success against Gallen is Miguel Rojas three for six, Will Smith six for

nineteen. In case you're wondering about Jason Hayward, He's only one for ten with four strikeouts against Zach Gallen. So maybe Dave Roberts says, you know what, Miguel, you want to be in the starting lineup. Tomorrow's the day against Zach Gallen. So you know there's nobody tearing the cover off the ball against Gallen, and you know, especially outfielders. If that's what we're looking at here, so why not why not give it? Give him a

chance. A kid that is eager for an opportunity is going to do the most with it. So we'll see who Dave Roberts has in his starting lineup tomorrow night against Zach Gallen. He'll be going up against Landon Knack, who does not lack confidence. So you may say Landed nac against Zach Gallen. Well, I thought Gavin Stone versus whoever the Diamondbacks were throwing out turned out to be Christian Menya favored the Dodgers. So we'll see where it goes.

But like I said, it's not a division race right now, but it certainly is a playoff seeding race between the Dodgers and Brewers. They are separated by one game for the second seed in the National League playoff picture. As it stands right now, Landon Knack this year is one and one with an ERA of two zero eight going up against Zach Gallen, who I mentioned, He's six and four with an ERA of two eighty three. Morongo Casino Dodgers

on Deck begins at five o'clock with first pitch at six' ten. It is fourth of July, so the Dodgers will put on a spectacular fireworks show following the game tomorrow, So if you're showing up, be ready for a great show, hopefully with the Dodgers offense and then the fireworks on fourth of July. Thanks to Colinie back at our Burbank studios, Thanks to Dwayne McDonald

out here at Dodgers Stadium, and thanks to you for listening. In case you miss any of the show, you can find it on the iHeartRadio app once again. The final score tonight from Dodgers Stadium, the Diamondbags route the Dodgers twelve to four. Have a great rest of year. Fourth of July. Happy fourth of July. Four minutes away. We'll talk to you in a few hours. Ben Maller on Fox Sports Radio is next see him.
