One thing about this gene is the invisible and tangibles that they have.
This team is really becoming a family.
Let's not play one on Tom.
Let's I love writing me these guys after the show.
So just thank you, give me are.
Your attention, your fire and not a pisson.
This is world champion, Dodger world championing for a.
Small soft time. They get a people what they want to die.
Too in a row two is special.
I'm like, yeah, it's not a headache.
One of the con This ball's gone. You ready to go? Sure? Hell old time to the sun.
Grab your phone to get in on the show called eight six six nine eighty seven two five seven and go to the show. And now your host of Dodger Talk, David Basse.
We are live at Dodgers Stadium after the Dodgers defeat the White Sox by a final score of six to two. Welcome the Dodger Talk. David Vass with you until eleven o'clock tonight. The phone lines are open at eight six six nine eighty seven two five seventy. We do have a pair of tickets to give away to tomorrow night's game on fourth of July, So you come correct and don't beg and maybe you'll get those tickets for tomorrow night, and don't try to give me some sad story about
coming with your dad and all full circle. You know I'm not going for that. I'm a softie, but not that soft anyway. The Dodgers beat the White Sox tonight. They took care of business with a sixty two win. They won four in a row. They won nine of their last ten. They won fifteen of their last nineteen. They have the best record in baseball fifty six and thirty two. After a really good performance by Dustin May, who went seven plus innings tonight with nine strikeouts. They
got home runs from Michael Confordo and Mookie Betts. It was the first time Mookie Bets has homered in ninety one at bats, going all the way back to June eighth, So that was good to see.
And Mookie's put.
In a lot of work in the batting cage where we don't see it, especially the night that he had a quote day off. From what I understand, he was working for a lot of hours down there trying to get right, and we saw it last night. In his last at bat, he hit a ball better than we've seen him hit in a long time. It was a game time sacrifice fly. And then tonight he Homer's in the seventh inning for an insurance run with one out. So that's good to see and it's good to get
Mookie's confidence going. If all of a sudden, Mookie Bets gets going, and Freddie Freeman, who is back now with three RBIs and two doubles, coming off a home run last night and home run in Kansas City and a walk off base hit, all of a sudden, we got Otani, Betts and Freeman back as they get close to the
All Star breaks, so that's really encouraging. And speaking of Freddie Freeman, we'll hear from him at the bottom of the hour about making his ninth All Star team and being voted as a starter for the fifth time in his career. But tonight's about Dustin May. Seven plus innings, nine strikeouts. Let's head downstairs to the Dodger Clubhouse to hear from tonight's winning pitcher.
Yeah, it was better.
It was definitely a better command. The guys made some really good plays, and they put some runs on the board early and allowed me to just go and throw to.
Be able to pitch so deep into the game. You've been a workhorse all year, But does it have more meaning when you are going into the eighth inning for the first time in your career.
Yeah, for sure.
It was definitely good to get out there for the eighth. Definitely sucks the way that it went, but it was good.
But they're so efficient for early I think you're after in less than ten pitches an eighting. You know he's got to the sixth.
Are you feeling like this is this is a different game for you, some special is going on?
No, I mean it was. It was going smooth. I was feeling good. I was being able to execute some throws. I was just trying to go as keep.
Some kid just a career hard for you. It starts and he's pitched, given where the rotation is. Do you feel like you're kind of, you know, picking them up and you'll filling on some of those gaps with that much of a workforce gold and.
Taking, I mean no, I mean I just feel like I'm doing my job.
Are you thinking just when you are perfect in through five kind of just what your thought process when you are going into the eighth you think he potentially complete game. Is that kind of where you were at.
I'm just trying to live in a three foot world. I mean, I've had a lot of ups and downs in my career so far. I don't try to look too far ahead at all. I'm just trying to stay one pitch out of time.
All right.
There's Dustin May on Sports and at La Man a few words, and he kept it clean that time. And it's just weird to see a guy that pitched so well tonight gets so upset at himself after giving up a two run home run in a game that's six to nothing. Obviously, nobody wants to give up a home run. And I'm sure he was upset. It was to the same guy that broke up the perfect game the sixth inning, Brooks Baldwin. But I mean I felt like that was a little over the top. But nonetheless, I mean that's
who he is. I mean, that's who Dustin May is. And he's had a really good season and he's been vital to the Dodgers this year because him and Yamamoto are the only two starters this year to make every single start. He's second to Yamamoto in innings pitch, So there's a lot to be said about availability, especially this year with so many injuries to the Dodger rotation. Eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy is the
phone number. We had a full board of calls for an hour last night after Clayton Kershaw's special night here at Dodger Stadium with his three thousandth career strikeout coming in the sixth inning and ending that sixth inning and everything else that went into last night, the emotions from the fans, from Kershaw, his family, his teammates, and the part that I love the most is the stuff that happens inside that clubhouse because that is so genuine and
raw and not choreographed. And the Dodgers social media team rose to the occasion last night, just like the fans, just like the entertainment crew here at Dodgers Stadium, and especially Clayton Kershaw himself, and the Dodgers social media team was in the perfect position last night in the clubhouse to capture Clayton Kershaw toasting his teammates last night.
You know, individual accomplishments are only that if you're by yourself, it doesn't mean anything, right, you don't have anybody to celebrate with. So to have this group around me, to care as much as you did for Freddy, to remind me every day how many strikeouts I have left, for everybody just to be so excited for me to get to do this. That's the biggest thing for me, because everybody in this room understands baseball is a hard game, and nobody understands that better than this room. So I
just want to say thank you guys so much. Everybody, everybody in here, thank you. It's been a fun ride, and let's keep it going. Cheers here, Cheers hurt.
That was really special to hear, and that was really cool that the Dodgers social media team was allowed inside the clubhouse for that toast. And that's just a glimpse into why so many teammates really get emotional and inspired by Clayton Kershaw because he has such respect for the game and he shows it by his work ethic and then you hear him say things like that to salute his teammates. That's really special as well. So if you didn't get in last night, you want to get in tonight.
If you're at the game with Kershaw striking out his three thousandth batter in his career. We have three lines open at eight six six nine, eight seven two five seventy. Let's go out to the phones, and by the way, before we do, since you heard Kershaw reference that Freddie Freeman was the one that was counting down to his three thousand strikeout, maybe I should start feeding Kershaw how many doubles Freddie Freeman has in his career, because Freddy
is climbing the list quite a bit this year. He is just four doubles away from passing the Iron Horse Lou Garrick for the forty second most doubles all time in baseball history. Freddie, with two doubles tonight, has five hundred and thirty one doubles in his Hall of Fame caliber career. We should start counting down to how many doubles Freddie Freeman has the rest of the year, because he's gonna start leap frogging even more Hall of famers than he already has.
So I'll try to circle a name, and I'll start counting down to that name.
Maybe Chipper Jones, his former teammate in Atlanta, that's very much in reach this year. Eight six six nine eighty seven two five seventy is the phone number. Dodgers beat the White Sox tonight six to two. Let's go out to see me, Valley, Ben, you're on Dodger Talk.
How you doing, Ben, Babe, David, I'm doing well, man, Thank you for taking my call. Great victorious victory tonight, you know, sweep of the White Sox. I'm looking forward hopefully we can take care of business against the uh the trash trash can bang and Astros. So listen, I know, Uh, you've talked about in the past, how you know Dustin May has a hard time containing his emotion. And I know you know tonight Dustin was mad at himself for
giving up that home run. But I don't know if it's just me, but if I'm the manager, like I would feel kind of disrespected if if my player is having that kind of attitude, Like I would feel like that that emotion that he's showing is kind of, you know, being showed towards me for taking the ball out of his hands, not because he's mad at himself for you know, giving up that homer. So I'm just wondering, you know, if if somebody doesn't think so, I don't think.
So at all, Because he was he was upset when he gave up the home run as soon as it went over the wall.
He was upset.
Dave Roberts hadn't even left the dugout, So I agree with you, Ben, that was over the top right there in that moment.
But I rather have a.
Guy that cares than a guy that doesn't care. Eight sixty six nine eight seven two five seventy is the phone number. Dodgers beat the White Sox six to two tonight and win there fourth in a row. They have won fifteen of their last nineteen and have a nine game lead over the Padres and San Francisco Giants. I mention at the beginning of this homestand the Dodgers had a very good chance of walking away with a double
digit lead in the division. And they're right there knocking on the doorstep nine game lead over the Giants and Padres as they welcome in one of the hotter teams in baseball, the Houston Astros, tomorrow night at Dodgers Stadium, and they are going to face the Astros without Max Munsey. Max Munsey got the results of his MRI today. He went into the MRI tube earlier today and he came out with results that showed left knee bone bruise, and that is something that he said is going to keep
him out, give or take six weeks. Here was Max Munsey earlier today, obviously dejected, especially after the way he's been playing the last forty games of the season.
Yeah, it was kind of twofold. It was tough news, but it was also great news, you know, in terms of when you look at the play and just the injury that could have happened. We possibly got best case scenario. There's no structural damage in there, which is huge. You know, that was definitely a pleasant relief, but you know, the timetable still kind of still kind of sucks for me personally. You know, you look at around six weeks, maybe a little before, maybe a little after, and uh, you know,
it was a tough blow. But at the same time, I still get to play baseball this year instead of you know, coming back next year around April. So it's it was kind of best case scenario.
Doesn't make it even tougher because you found your way back.
Yeah, I mean it it just I don't get to be out there on the field for a little bit. You know that that really sucks. I had to go through it last year, and you know, it's it's never fun when you don't get an when you don't get to be out there.
Max. When you were being helped off the field last night, what was going through your head? Did you fear the worst at that point? Yeah, I mean, yeah, definitely, you know it. To be honest, the first thing that popped into my head was the end of the season in twenty twenty one. You know, it just wasn't wasn't a pleasant feeling. Immediately start replaying everything in your head, trying to say, you know.
What do I feel? Did I feel a pop? Did I hear pop? And you know any all that kind of stuff. That way you can give the medical stuff, you know, the best best chance of the evaluation. And uh, you know, anytime you're replaying an injury in your head, it's it's not it's not good.
How did you process all of this last night?
Obviously with Kershaw just being one strikeout of way and you're being helped off the field and in here when all that's going on and dealing with.
Your knee, it was wide range of emotions, that's for sure.
You know.
The first thought that I honestly was really going through my head was as I'm laying on the ground, was was danging. I have to, you know, make Curse sit there and think about stuff right now. And you know, I really was not happy about that.
I was.
I was trying to be like, hey, get me off this field. You know, that way Curse can keep going, we can figure out inside. And then you know, I'm in the X ray room and you hear the crowd roar and it was kind of like, oh man, I missed it. This is like, you know, that was honestly the most heartbreaking thing to me. Obviously getting hurt sucks and missing time sucks, but to not be able to be out there on that field with him when he got three thousand was a that was a pretty big bow to me.
How about That's that's pretty uh, gut wrenching right there. When you hear Max Munsey describe where he was when Clayton Kershaw got his three thousandth career strikeout. He was getting X race on his left knee after being helped off the field, I mean, that's as raw as you'll hear a player when it comes to that kind of stuff. And where do the Dodgers go now? For the next six weeks, give or take at third base. I know everybody automatically goes to trade for Nolan Aernado. Well, come on,
the Cardinals are in the wildcard race. They're not trading Nolan Aernado right now, and the Dodgers have internal options to navigate this until Munsi returns tonight. Miguel Rojas got the start at third base. You're gonna see Rojas. You're gonna see Key Hernandez at third base. Remember when Munsey was out for a couple of months. It was Key k playing a lot at third base last year. And quite honestly, I would say Key a Hernandez is better defensively or just just as good as Nolan Aronado is
these days at third base. And Dave Roberts also said Tommy Edmund is going to start taking ground balls at third base because he's gonna be part of the mix to fill in at third base while Munsey's out. You might say, Tommy Edmund third base? Has he ever done it? Yeah, he has the last time he did it was in twenty twenty two with the Cardinals. He played eight games at third base back then, So he's capable. We'll see how much time he gets at third base and when
that all starts. But Rojas, Key k Hernandez and Tommy Edmond are part of the immediate solution at third base for the Dodgers while Munsey's out. And also, here's a guy that I would love to see get called up and get his major league debut. I got to know him in spring training, got to watch him playing spring training, and that is young Alex Freeland, who is at Triple A Oklahoma City. He has played primarily shortstop this year,
but tonight he was playing third base. So the Dodgers are going to give him an opportunity at Triple A to get his feet wet and see where it goes. But I wouldn't rule out Alex Freeland at some point in time, maybe after the All Star break, after he gets some run in the miners at third base. He's a very popular teammate. He's a baseball rat. I mean, this guy is not going to be intimidated by the moment.
He's an energy guy as well.
But he's got a hit and he has been hitting in Oklahoma City. So that's where it is. As far as the Dodgers third base situation. Eight six six nine seven two five point seventy is the phone number Brew was coming from Dodger Stadium tonight.
You're on Dodger Talk. How you doing, Bruce?
What a BEDV? I tried calling in yesterday, but you were filled up. You just actually mentioned what I.
Was calling him.
I was going to ask about Alex Freeland and at the bats ready and he's listed on the depth chart to shortstop third base. I haven't watched any of the minor league games, just the THEO clips, but the bat's ready, just like Dalton rushing. And I get the question I want to ask you, and this is related to Freeland, is is there ever a case in the thinking of the brass that if we bring him up now, this close to the All.
Star break and this close to the trade deadline.
Are they you know, would you want to showcase him as trade bait? Would you want to really keep that exposure from happening because his trade value is based on I don't believe.
They're gonna call him up before the All Star break, Bruce. They got Rojas and Kei k A and Tom Yedman to hold it down. They're gonna give him a chance in the minor leagues. To play a little bit more third base and evaluate where it goes from there. I know that the Dodgers were considering calling him up earlier in the year, but chose to keep him down in the minors to get more seasoning. So if it happens, I believe it'll happen after the All Star break.
But you never know. You'll never know.
And he it's not like he's gonna just all of a sudden become the everyday third baseman either.
Well, you wouldn't because Max. I don't count Max out. This guy has had to fight hard all the way through.
I'm not counting him out at all. I'm just talking about right now in the immediate future. I mean, every time people count Max Muncie out, he comes back and does big thing. So I'm with you, Bruce. Gotta move on. Appreciate the phone call. Let's go out to La Point day. Ray, You're on Dodger Talk.
How you doing? Ray?
Hey, Hey, how are you doing? It's gonna last I talked to you, but you want to talk to me about Trushaw. I was fun giving yesterday. I was there when there was no hitter. It was great. My daughter's got to take us with all his day and I was able to see that. So that's what I just wanted to coming on yesterday. So anyway, also I was there and Dave Dannis my kids is perfect game, and and Siner Day. I was there when Chrik gets into his home runnables, so Heyday.
Yeah, you were there for two big moments in Dodger history. I would say Gibson's uh walk off home run in a World Series game a little bit bigger, but certainly you were at Kershaw's one and only career no hitter.
Thanks for the phone call, Ray, appreciate it.
Eight sixty six nine eight seven two five seventy is the phone number. We're gonna take a time out when we come back more of your phone calls. We still have a pair of tickets to give away for tomorrow night's game.
On fourth of July, you'll hear from Freddie Freeman.
We'll give you an update on Tyler Glass now and Jose Moto will join us. So a lot to get to between now and eleven o'clock right here on AM five to seventy LA Sports. The Dodgers beat the White Sox tonight six to two on Dodgers Radio you're a home for the world champion Dodgers.
Dodger Talk is available on AM five seventy, LA sports dot com, hand on the iHeartRadio app. Back to more Dodger Talk with Dodger insider David Vasse.
Brodie gets a lead off of third base stretch by Schavalle.
In the pitch to Conforto, Hey Shwanson, he felt it deep to right field in the corner. Gone a home run. How do you like that?
Michael Conforto makeshif bie nothing with his seventh home run of the season. He jumped all over inside fastball and hit it over the short wall of right field corners.
Michael Confordo three home.
Runs eight RBIs in his last six games, and yes, no coincidence. The deadfish handshake has certainly helped him out. Well, maybe his new bat as well. Eight six six nine seven two five seventy is the phone number that was part of a four run third inning for the Dodgers. Freddie Freeman doubled home two and then Conforto a two run home run, and the Dodgers were off as they go on to sweep the White Sox in this three game series. Daniels Jewelers presents the home run forecast go
to AM five to seventy. Lasports dot Com used the keyword home run for your chance to win a fifty dollars Daniels Jewelers gift card predicting the number of home runs in the very next Daniels Jewelers owned the Dream. Speaking of Freddie Freeman, you voted Freddie Freeman to the All Star Team as a starter for the fifth time in his career. And this one is special, not only because the Dodger coaching staff is going to be leading the National League team this year since they are the
world champions. Dave Roberts has also invited last year's first base coach, Clayton McCullough and Freddie Freeman's former manager, now Braves manager Brian Snicker to be part of his staff as well. But since it is in Atlanta, that's a very special place. That's where it all started for Freddie Freeman, and Truest Park would not have been built if not for Freddie Freeman. And he's going to be out there wearing a Dodger uniform because this year the All Stars
will be wearing their team's uniforms. Thankfully, back in the All Star Game. That's going to be special, and Freddie Freeman was very appreciative at Dodger fans not only in LA but across the world voted him as this year's first baseman for the National League.
Yeah, I mean it hasn't you know.
It's hard to like describe how you're gonna feel in a situation until you get there and live it and be in the moment. So I think it's more of you know, I'm looking forward to it. Every time I've gone back the last four years, it's always been special. I don't see how this is not going to be even more special to go back and you know, play in front of these fans and at an All Star Game.
So I'm looking forward to it.
But I'll have a better answer how I feel when I actually go through it and feel the emotions of that day and.
That those couple of days there.
But I know we're looking forward to it, families looking forward to it, So I'm looking forward to getting.
There, Freddie. You also mentioned the other layer. You're the starting first baseman for the National League, and your coaching staff is going to be there as well. I mean, there's just so many perfect moments that this should happen.
Yeah, it's pretty cool.
And then obviously Doc inviting Snit to be the manager, and obviously Clayton being the other the manager being there. So it's kind of like a pretty cool thing for me personally to have all these people here that meant so much in my career so far. You know, obviously Snicker has been uh with threw me once I got called up. Snit was the third base coach for the Braze when I got called up, and then he obviously
became the manager while I was here too. So to be able to have these moments with people that have meant so much to me in my career, it's pretty special. So I've got I get to have Snit and Doc and Clayton who you know, got me twenty plus stole basis, so a lot of people that mean so much to me. To be in one clubhouse, one field and trying to win a baseball game in front of fans that I've spent so many years in front of, it's going to be a special experience.
Hey, Freddie Freeman is first class, and you gotta love a guy that appreciates being part of the All Star team. After being there eight previous times. Here he is going into his ninth All Star Game and now is a starter for the fifth time in his career. He's really special and we all appreciate Freddie Freeman. Eight six six nine eighty seven two five seventy is the phone number. All right, here is your chance to win a pair
of tickets to tomorrow night's fourth of July game. We're gonna celebrate Clayton Kershaw with this trivia question as well. Four Dodger teammates have appeared in games in which Kershaw has combined for over one thousand strikeouts. Name the player that has been on the field and appeared in more games than any other Kershaw teammate for one thousand strikeouts.
Let me know.
Eight six six nine eighty seven two five seventy is the phone number.
Let's go out to our guy, Jose Moda.
It's time to go around the horn with Jose Mota.
All right, Jose Moda, you were texting me early in the game. Rick Monday and Tim Neverett noticed the same when it came to Dustin May throwing that ninety eight mile an hour fastball. What got into Dustin May tonight?
I think maybe it was time to make an adjustment. Dustin May, to me, should not be a dominant breaking ball pitcher with the yard, but he has. And on top of that, you know, he has velocity, he has movements, he has a deception, and he's got side. I mean, he's got that whipping arm that hitters don't want to fates. But when you slow down and start throwing a lot of breaking balls, you make a lot easier for them.
You lose command of your fastball, and that is the one pitch you have to command, no matter how hard you throw. He got to command fastball number one to be able to put away guys with the other stuff.
The other stuff is really good, don't get me wrong, but there's no doubt in my mind that he's a much better pitcher location wise, rhythm wise, the swings and missus when he's able to mix both of them more than anything, predominantly be a good fastball pitcher because he throws nothing that is going in there straight.
He had nine strikeouts tonight.
I know everybody thinks with how hard he throws, he's a strikeout pitcher, but he's really a ground ball pitcher when he's going at his best. What did you make about the strikeouts? How did he get there?
You know, the strikeouts one thing you gotta be careful with because people say, yeah, it was the whiteesax, but it is not. The white sag made a very tough on Clinton curser to get punchouts last night, and they're pretty much in the middle of the road in the America League strikeouts. He was able to sequence well. And on top of that, I think he had a lot of guys guessing because the book says, hey, he's going
to suspend that thing. Erdian counts, you know, armside and finish you off of the lefty inside with a brickaball. And then the festal was getting out people. And that's pretty much Dave the simplest explanation guys looking for something else, but also the command that he had. He put it in the very good spots pretty much all night and through a lot of strikes.
Were you surprised how he reacted after Brooks Baldwin hit that home run, a two run home run to make it a six to two game, after how well he had pitched all night long.
With him, No, that means I want more. I should have been better. And there's nothing wrong. You gotta respect it. One thing is to be upset with yourself. Another one is to, you know, let it affect you in the way you go about with your teammates. But he's upset that he gave up the runs, and you gotta like that. I mean, it's it's pretty much from the old school saying, yeah, I got through the I got through seven. I went into the eighth. I wanted to get through the eighth inning,
made a couple of pitches up on his own. They got to it. But I have nothing to say negative about a guy that wants to be out there, wants to do well, wants to be an excellent at it. And it's pretty much threading new water from in terms of innings now more wins and starts. All those things are important to him. And I'm glad he got through all right.
Jose you just heard from Freddie Freeman. He's going to be an All Star for the ninth time. He comes through at two doubles tonight, he drives in three more runs after a walk off hit yesterday. He told us in Kansas City that basically what was wrong was his front foot.
He wasn't getting it down the way he too. Is it that simple?
It is that simple because Freddy Freeman keeps it simple. But as he says, as he's told me many times, I cannot be rotational. I have to stay through the baseball a little bit more. And it all stars with being on time. When his father I run into him last week before the world trip, He's like, I want for her to get that foot down. So his father knows that swinging better than anybody else. He's the one
that he listens to. But there's no doubt the support sys to me, has the video and so many things that you can go through right now in terms, and he even watchs like digitally your swing path and how long's staying through the zone. All those things are available for a player, and Freddie is the guy that's all wealth in the game, knowing that the simplicity aspect of it also comes with another technical aspect of it. But Freddy,
you know, he's not so much based on results. He wants to feel good and be right because he knows all those things are going to happen. Biggest example is when he starts walking and then when he starts hitting the ball with authority. The other ways that did tonight.
I always shine a light on Freddie Freeman Jose because I feel like consistent great players get taken for granted. I mean tonight he didn't hit a home run, but he was a big part of this win. Two doubles, three RBIs. He makes a great catch to try to keep the perfect game going for May. But I just feel like we take for granted steady, consistent players like him.
Jay.
That was a very good point because Freddy at first base, his ankle is not one hundred percent, his quad is not a one hundred percent. How many runs have you saved? How many errors has he saved his teammates by full effort, working on his craft and making sure that he is a presence also as he was again tonight on the defensive side. And then with all that Dave managers on the other side know that number five standing there in
the index cercrole in the hole. There's a deeper side of respect because they know he a guy that can change a game with power, with walk by Pasden Watts certainty, by just being a fine hitter and one of the best professional hitters in the game today.
Hey, it's all so great to see Michael Conforto put together a string of really good games, three home runs in his last six and he makes another great catch tonight in left field. That's really good to see for a guy that has been underwater all season long.
It's been great.
You mentioned the numbers the last what six or eight games, and he's responding quite well with the handshake with you, I think does a big part of that. I think he learned a lot from JJ Martinez. But also you see a guy that you know. Guys usually when they get to a point where they use a certain bat for their career and they've had success, it's like, now I don't need to change anything. But you know what, as you age in the league knows a little bit
about you. You're not catching on with fastballs. You've got to be open to ideas and suggestions. Work at it. First, get your batt the way you need to do it, but know that you cannot finish a career the way you end it. Very few guys can do that. And part of what's being flexible and evolving with the game, so now by design they can design your back is a different conform than so many other guys. Just by your swing path and think about this. He's small enough
to know I needed that. Hopefully this is just the beginning, because we know that there's way more in that tack. But certainly great to see the way he's also played defense.
All right, Jose, we'll check in with you tomorrow night as the Houston Astros come to town for the fourth of July. They should be fireworks from start to finish tomorrow.
Night, and hopefully well the bats too.
Yeah, no doubt.
Thanks Jose, There he goes Jose Mota, part of the Dodgers Spanish radio broadcast.
All right, we got a full border calls.
People think they have the right answer when it comes to the trivia question for a pair of tickets to tomorrow night's game on fourth of July. Kershaw, with his three thousand strikeouts, has had a lot of teammates in his career, but if you think about it, there's a core four that have been part of Kershaw games more than others. So if you take a deep breath and take a step back, you may have a pretty good
chance of getting this correct. Four Dodger teammates have a appeared in games in which Kershaw combined for over one thousand strikeouts. Tell me the one that appeared in the most All right, let's go out to Santa Clarita Sarkis.
Who's your guess?
Ez kek Hernandez Baby, Let's go.
No, as much as Keik would like to be that answer, it is not. Let's go out to Torrance, Brian, what's your answer?
My answer is Austin Barnes.
Ooh no, he didn't even catch more games than anybody else for Kershaw.
Let's go out to John in La. What do you got? John?
Is it?
Kelly Jenson?
It is not, but he did save more games than any other closer for Kershaw wins. That's for sure, all time saves leader. Let's go out to Burbank, Dennis, you're on Dodger Talk.
What's your guess?
