Dodgers Territory - Dodgers Bullpen IMPLODES, Shohei Ohtani Labors Late vs Pirates

Episode Date: June 11, 2026

Alanna Rizzo and Clint Pasillas break down all the action in game 2 of the 3 game series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Pittsburgh Pirates. And a wierd one it was. Shohei Ohtani made his 11th sta...rt of the season and wasn't bad, but put together his worst start of the season while battling the heat, humidity, and a lingering blister on his pitching hand. The story of the game, however, was the bullpen implosion. Are we worried about Kyle Hurt following another rough outing? Clint and Alanna discuss. Plus, Will Smith is heading to the injured list and Kyle Tucker performs well for DT postgame shows, on this edition of Dodgers Territory. 🌶️ To explore coverage, visit aspcapetinsurance.com/FOUL.

Starting point is 00:00:00 It's that time to put on your jersey and wave your flag, whoever you root for. Why do I watch the World Cup? That's like asking me, why do I breed? And it's beautiful. The guys are young and cute and fit. It's not just a game. It's your culture. I like watching it with my dad. It's a connecting force.
Starting point is 00:00:21 From Futuro Studios, I'm Fernanda Chavari, and this is American Football, a show about soccer culture in the U.S. and its underdog roots.

Your identity is formed by a secret history. I'm Danny Shapiro.
Starting point is 00:00:52 And these are just a few of the stunning stories I'll be exploring on the 14th season of Family Secrets. He kind of shoved me out of the way and said, move. And he went out the front door and he jumped in a car and drove off and that was the last time I saw him. Listen to season 14 of Family Secrets on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Starting point is 00:01:47 Sometimes you enter a game where you just plainly don't have shit. Kyle Hurt will tell you, I did not have shit that night. That was a wild one, everybody. That was a wild one. We are your host, Alonarizzo, Clint Paseas. This is a brand new live edition of Dodgers Territory for post game on this June 10th. Man, wild, wild, wild. But you know what?
Starting point is 00:02:23 Sometimes these are the games. Sometimes it bees that way, as Ricky Henderson used to say. Sometimes it bees that way. And this was just a crazy game.

By the way, you guys, share your thoughts about this game in the live chat.
Starting point is 00:02:50 And let's get to this one because it's game 68 of 162 for the Dodgers. It does not go LA's way. But you know what? It is not because of show a. It is because the bullpen. That's okay. Like sometimes it bees that way. Clint, what is your biggest takeaway? By the way, I don't know if it's the lights or if I need to get a tan, but I am the widest Cuban American on the planet. are your takeaways from this game, my friend? My takeaways are, yeah, you definitely are looking a little white tonight, but that's okay. I get it. I need a tan. That's fine.
Starting point is 00:03:22 We'll get you outside. Go touch some grass for once in your life, Riz. Yeah, you know, was a wild game. Was a tough game. There were some good stuff in there. I was really looking forward to spending some time about Ryan Ward and his first career Grand Slam. Don't worry. We will still talk about Ryan Ward and his first career Grand Slam because that was a lot of fun.
Starting point is 00:03:41 But seeing my guy, the guy who I, I've championed over, you know, the course of the last two years, definitely into the soft season, definitely a lot into this season. Let's talk about Kyle Hurt has not had it. Kyle Hurt was hurt. Kyle Hurt was hurt, bro. Yeah, he is not, he, listen, he had absolutely nothing today. That happens.
Starting point is 00:04:02 It's the life of a middle reliever. Sometimes you enter a game, sometimes you're put into a ball game where you just plainly don't have shit. And Kyle Hurt will tell you, I did not have shit that night. And it's fine. I am not selling my Kyle Hurt stock even slightly. Pitchers have bad games. You know, you can't pull him immediately in that moment.
Starting point is 00:04:23 I would maybe have liked to see, you know, Dave and the, just somebody getting up sooner, like almost immediately when you saw nothing. It was either super hitable or nowhere near the zone for Kyle Hurt. But the three batter minimum, of course, he's got to go through three. Maybe he gives up a couple runs. Maybe the Dodgers are still in this game. that he got much help behind him. Jack Dreyer,
Starting point is 00:04:45 Preston of Duty, gives up the two-run Homer there. But yeah, four, I think it's four earned for Kyle Hurt here. It just records the one out. And he technically kind of didn't even record it.
Starting point is 00:04:55 It was, you know, Jake Magnum or whatever. Mangum. Mangum, an ill-advised decision to try to steal third there to gift,
Starting point is 00:05:06 really gift Hurt and the Dodgers and out. But, yeah, it was just a tough outing. You know, I'm not mad at Kyle. I'm just a little disappointed. You're just depointed. Are you getting him in the silent treatment?
Starting point is 00:05:20 I know he's more disappointed in this appearance. But it is a continuing a stretch where I think he's giving up runs now in four of his last seven games. He's a little bit off, still coming back from Tommy John, still coming back from being away for almost two years of baseball. So give him a little bit of grace. Again, I would rather this happen now, Riz, than in September. than in October. I feel like this is a game where we should really include our fans and our viewers' commentary in the mix because these games happen, right?
Starting point is 00:05:56 Like, they happen. So let's discuss what people want to talk about, okay? So if you go to the chat, Final Boss 417, wasn't a bad game, though, check his last four games. You're talking about Kyle Hart. But here's a couple of things that are interesting as I look in this. Cole boy Cole says I blame the loss on rushing. He missed three critical strikes in that seventh inning and got a ball called challenge wrong. Paul also needs to stop using challenges.
Starting point is 00:06:24 Here's the thing about the whole rushing situation too, though. Like Dalton rushing now has been catapulted to the number one catcher for the Dodgers because of the whole Will Smith neck situation, right? So he has been thrust into the situation where he's now playing every single day. What became a, no, we're just going to take him out of the lineup for a couple of days is now an IL situation. And now they have to call up one of two guys that nobody but Clint and baseball America has heard of. Right. So it's like I don't really, I don't really, I mean, there's a lot going on for Dalton rushing. So Jack Harris, we love.
Starting point is 00:07:02 Dave Robert said it's most likely Will Smith will go on the IL, though that movement. probably won't officially come until tomorrow. He said Smith is progressing, but it missed enough time, whatever. It doesn't matter. The point is now Dalton rushing is the man, right? So that's an interesting thing. You all of a sudden get catapulted into the number one spot in this whole situation.
Starting point is 00:07:24 We have also said, so Mario Landavid 2202, we knew the bullpen was going to falter today. It's okay. Pirates just played a bit better today with someone. Here's the thing. The bullpen has been really, really good all season. So when I always feel like this about relievers Clinton, tell me if I'm wrong. We don't talk about them when they're good, but the second they have a misstep, we're all over them.
Starting point is 00:07:49 And this was, yeah, I mean, this was kind of like a bullpen. I mean, Shohei was out there for a long time and then it just kind of imploded. Yeah, and even, you know, Richie's saying it was kind of a perfect storm. I mean, we know how it is with these other teams. The Dodgers coming to town, and it is their World Series and all. that, so on, so forth, whatever the hell you want to say about that regard. But, you know, I don't subscribe as much to the Dalton rushing angle of it. I'm not saying I don't respect it. I could see that. He has been a decent game caller when somebody doesn't know where the baseball is going or, you
Starting point is 00:08:25 know, like somebody, I guess it's more so it doesn't know where the baseball is going. It will stick there. That's not really on him. That's a Kyle Hurt thing. And again, that was a Jack Dreyer situation. hot, humid, ugly, muggy day. Shohay had it until he kind of didn't have it. If we want to shift into Shohay talk, you know, he's one who started this whole, I don't know if we want to call it a debacle, but gives a four runs.
Starting point is 00:08:48 Three of those earned with the final one coming on that Muncie error while Vesia came in the game. I think we can finally have our qualified stinker. This is where you're going. This is where you're going. Was this a story? stinker for Shohei. This is the first real stinker.
Starting point is 00:09:09 It's still. Okay. But if Shohei wasn't Shohei and anybody else had thrown six and two thirds giving up three earned runs and also had a two run shot, no one's going to call it a stinker. But because his standards are so high, is this a stinker? Let us know. Talk about it in the chat. Is this a stinker for Shohei?
Starting point is 00:09:32 We want to know what you guys think. Yeah, I mean, if six and two-thirds and three earned on the ledger as a stinker, you take that. Again, that is better than a quality start. Looks like he was definitely also starting to deal with that heat, starting to get a little sweaty, bugging that blister that he's been dealing with on his right, the inside of his right middle finger there. Something Dave has said, and Kirsten Watson mentioned during the broadcast, Dave said, this has bugged him for the last couple of outings here. You know, those humid days, it gets nasty out there.
Starting point is 00:10:07 You don't want to be on that mound, and he's pitching into the seventh and all that kind of stuff. But I don't know, something woke up at the right time for these pirates combined with Dodgers, you know, relievers not really having it at all. And it's one of those ugly losses, you know, we won't in a few months. We're not going to think about this game. I'm going to move this because I love Michael Johnson, but I don't want to come. cover. I don't, no, no, no, I love Michael Johnson. Where the fuck is your head at? I love that. It's like, my decision right now is I got to fix. Yeah, I don't want to, I don't want to cover up, Vin. So I just feel like, I don't know that it is like one of those losses that it was actually,
Starting point is 00:10:52 I feel like it was a decent game. Like it was like kind of the back and forth. It was entertaining. I can appreciate it. And I mean, everybody that like plays the Dodgers, like they step. I mean, imagine like was it calhoun is that his name like getting a getting a calahan a calahan i apologize getting a home run off of show hey otani i mean like that like this is this is their world series give him credit that that dude by the way massive game for calahan what two two homers i think four rbi i mean two four rbi i mean good for him he scored three runs god bless him Bottom of that lineup, looking almost Dodger-esque there with all the contributions, you know, with Mengum also chipping in there. Mangum.
Starting point is 00:11:38 That's what I said. Mangum. Did I say, zizz-z. Did I says, anyways, how about we do this? Let's reset for a second. Everybody get your thoughts in the chat. We're going to keep talking about it. But first, we do got to do a little bit of housekeeping.
Starting point is 00:11:53 So how about our friends from foul territory? I tell you about this.

Starting point is 00:13:24 Every day you listen is another chance to win. We are back, a couple of things. We got some positives from this game, Riz. Again, we're also going to talk to the chat as much as we can. We'll sell a little bit more. We did have our first. I want to call it successful. Happy Hour, me, you, Katie, Wu.
Starting point is 00:13:44 Our fine folks that are YouTube members were able to join us. And as we just hung out, had a conversation, had some drinks. I will agree with somebody else having drinks at 2 p.m. Pacific time. probably not the greatest way to, you know, have a productive day. But it was a lot of fun. Hopefully we can have another one of those soon. And also to plug the Dodgers Territory Shop.com, check that out. Scan that QR code.
Starting point is 00:14:06 That's a new. This is new. Got that new new. Got that new. Yeah, yeah. I could have went without the baby. Oh, the baby. Just a good baby.
Starting point is 00:14:17 Also, what I love was there was a very recent episode where somebody in the comments after the fact said like why are we going to buy your stuff and you guys don't even wear it and you were like actively wearing in that episode a d t shirt i had the hat i think i might have been drinking out of the mug if not i'm drinking out i have my iced coffee here in my dodgers territory mug i'm just saying you're good you're good you're good don't worry about it i have a mug oh it's right there yeah i have it all good i do just saying we want the stuff you know i'm a thick boy and as richie will tell you fluffy we got to get some some yeah we got to get some more fluffy sizes in there. Anyways, enough about us. Let's talk about Ryan Ward. That is one of the positive
Starting point is 00:14:59 things. Perfect time. He popped on the screen. That wasn't even planned because I have no control of that, but goes one from three. That one was of the Grand Slam variety. And, you know, you and I were texting during the game about this. And I was like, we had to suffer through a goddamn year of Michael Conforto while this guy just stu, you know, it's like a stewed away and rotted. Yeah, he kind of rotted away in AAA. And, Ron, Ryan Ward, so he's from this area. I live in Massachusetts, and he's from these parts, Clint, as they would say. And we are having Ryan, this is way before the Grand Slam.
Starting point is 00:15:34 We are having Ryan Ward on Dodgers territory on Monday. He's going to be kind enough to join us. He's psyched. He's kind. He was like, oh, thank you so much for working with my schedule. I'm like, oh, thank you for working with our schedule, Ryan. So good for him, right? I mean, he's just kind of been laboring.
Starting point is 00:15:50 He is. He's kind of been laboring. And there's a lot of Dodger outfielders, right? Right. There's a lot, there's a lot of people that are kind of like blocking his path, but he is making the most of the opportunity. God bless him. It didn't, it didn't, it sucks that he got a grand slam. We ended up losing, but that was a bit, that was a big four runs. Good for him. Yeah. And in his short time, since coming up, uh, following the T. Oscar Hernandez injury, it's been damn productive. 11 RBI in his nine games. Five of his eight hits have been for extra
Starting point is 00:16:21 bases. He's just out there, you know, being a gamer, being a guy that's a dude, he knows he's probably here for a short time, might as well make the most of it. But, you know, seeing him in action, hopefully that they find a way to, I don't know how, I don't know where you play him beyond, you know, having a healthy Teo back and having Kiki back at some point, Tommy Edmund's not very far away. And Tommy Edmund is playing left field by the way at OKC. So read into that what you will. That's that's kind of their plan. I mean, how long is how long is going to be out? That tells me that Teo's going to be out for a while. Yeah. The people in the chat, by the way, are upset. We got a super chat from Richie's $1.99
Starting point is 00:17:07 on the super chat button here saying the fire Dave Roberts comments are live, not from him, but people in the chat are turned. I don't know how this would be on Dave. Maybe, maybe if you're saying leaving Kyle Hurd in a little too long, but at the bare minimum because of the rules. Well, Kyle Hurd and maybe taking out. He's a face three batters. Well, taking out Ryan Ward, like pinch hitting for Ryan. That move has worked more often than not for Doc this year.
Starting point is 00:17:34 I mean, another friend of the show, Alex Call, has been on a little bit of a cold streak of late. And somebody else was, you know, talking about the Kyle, Alex Call should not be able to challenge any more pitches. I would say he should be able to challenge the final pitch. Because he is like, it feels like he's always like one for one for one or one for two in his challenges. And the final one he thinks is going to end up being to walk. You know, this is based on feel, not at all on actual stats and numbers, stuff you can look up. But this is a field show. This is a reaction show right now.
Starting point is 00:18:08 But yeah, that was pretty big there to lose that final challenge. Somebody was mentioning, I think they were mentioning in the broadcast or somewhere I saw people talking about. the Dalton rushing the first time he ended up, you know, blowing one of his challenges. I guess we'll call it that. Well, I mean, at least we didn't blow both of ours and the fourth. Yeah. Yeah. I really think there needs to be three challenges.
Starting point is 00:18:35 Two is just. That's a whole other conversation. That's like an off season. That's like an off season show conversation. Well, I think they're going to have bigger fish to fry in the off season. Like whether or not they're going to be able to figure out how to play baseball. Actually have a season. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:50 No doubt. No doubt, no doubt, no doubt. But people, again, in the chat talking about Dave, seeing some mooky in there. Also, a couple Kyle Tucker's in there. Tuck did have two hits today. What's funny, I started down a rabbit hole because our last show, I still had one of the graphics plugged in here. Our last post game where he had a three hit day. And I was like, it feels like Kyle Tucker always has a pretty decent game when we are post-game. So last week, three hits and two RBIs. The week before that, he was off. The week before that, he had a hit in an RBI. Week before that, two hits, both of them doubles. Week before that, had a hit in RBI. Week before that, had a hit in a double. And then I gave up on the rest of the experiment.
Starting point is 00:19:35 But apparently for Kyle Tucker to save his season here, we just need a post game every day. Do you feel like Kyle Tucker is invisible? Even with all of the things that you just said about what he's done. Right. Do you feel like he like all of all of the six statistics I haven't even drinking all of the statistics that you just said. I just feel like he's just kind of blah. Am I wrong to think that? He's just kind of there. I mean, that's that's his role. That's kind of what Kyle Tucker wanted to be. Somebody who could kind of I would say lurk, but linger in the shadows, show up, do his job, hopefully do his job better than he. has so far don't don't sell your kyle tucker stock yet either hopefully one of these days king tuck shows up but i think whether he is performing well or performing how we're seeing him right now this is kind of always he's going to be he is going to be the guy in the background he is never
Starting point is 00:20:38 going to play you know first fiddle over show hey or freddie or even mookie when mookie is but i don't even think people are asking him to play first fiddle put those numbers back on about home versus away. Okay, we can do that. We can do that. There it is right here. Hold on. You know what I'm going to do?
Starting point is 00:20:57 Why don't you just start riffing about it and then, and then I mean, honestly, Kyle, like, I just feel like, okay, here we go. So 237 average, five home runs, but the home versus road stuff is a little bit stark to me. I mean, 32, I mean, this is what I'm talking. This is less versus right. This isn't exactly what I was talking about.
Starting point is 00:21:17 But I don't know. I just feel like it's like, I mean, that's a massive contract. There we go. That's what I'm talking about. 184 at home with one home run. Like, that's not going to have the Dodger faithful, like, who, thank God this guy's here.
Starting point is 00:21:32 You know what I'm? And again, like I've still, I know he's had a walk off hit. I've know, but I just don't feel like he has, I don't know, ingratiated himself into the Dodger fan base, at least not the Alonarizzo fan base. Yeah, yeah. I mean, he's not. bare mental are like absolutely facts are facts that he has not he is trying to perform up to the
Starting point is 00:21:56 contract he's probably trying a little hard to perform and it's very hard to justify you getting paid $60 million in a year and you could probably tell that from him going home and playing poor in front of the home denizens at the Neke as we call it Dodger Stadium if you're a normal human being but yeah he's going to figure something out and i'll go back to mentioning uh for some ungodly reason michael con fordell he suffered through an entire season of him hitting a buck 90 and they still won a world series as you made sure to text me about uh while i was you know glazing ryan ward following his grand slam um he's going to figure something out the the numbers at the end of the year aren't going to look great, but as long as for the greater,
Starting point is 00:22:48 Dodgers have an eight game lead, seven and a half game lead in the NL West right now. One loss like this, it sucks. It does not feel fun for anybody. But to borrow from my friend Pop Pop, Jeff Snyder, who you guys could watch on all Dodgers right after us, him, Kevin Skinner will be doing the post-post game. So please do go check that out. But we're talking about just one game.
Starting point is 00:23:14 And look at this massive-ass league. lead. Dodgers still have 43 wins. Dodgers still have a seven and a half game lead. That is insane that we have a seven and a half game lead in the West. Like what happened to the poders? It's so weird. I'm not sad. It's lost like this.
Starting point is 00:23:29 Yeah. It's very much weird when it's lost like this. Hey, we're going to take another quick break. And then we will come back for some final thoughts.

Osiaga, 2026. Every day you listen is another chance to win. All right, let's talk a little bit about this Will Smith situation, because true to the Dodgers way, it goes from,
Starting point is 00:25:19 not a big deal to it's an IL stint. So Jack Harris says Dave Roberts said it's most likely Will Smith will go on the IL, though that move probably won't officially come until tomorrow. He said Smith is progressing but has missed enough time by now that he'll need a little bit of a ramp up period before playing again.
Starting point is 00:25:35 Anyway, so this is what we're talking about, right? Dalton rushing, taking on the bulk load and then they've got to call somebody else up. They need another catcher. Again, two people I've never heard of, but I'm not good at the minor league stuff. You are. I'm not. I just don't care. But honestly, like, Will Smith, how concerned are you about this neck issue and perhaps how long he's going to be out, Clint? Yeah, I mean, it's far from ideal when you lose America's
Starting point is 00:26:03 catcher, you know, shortly after he joins us here. Maybe we were the problem. Maybe we gave him neck issues. Too many funny jokes gave him whiplash. But from what we're, from what we can kind of, from what we can kind of read from the team. It always seemed to be trending towards a potential IL situation, and they are hiding that much as best as they could, but I am not gathering that it is something major. That is a huge issue that is going to cost him weeks or months. At this point, you know, Dalton Rushing,
Starting point is 00:26:38 we've wanted to see him get a runway, and he's played pretty good for the greater part. You know, the more playing time he gets, Shocker. He plays pretty well. He has a forehead game a couple days ago. You know, the average is back up, you know, to a respectable number. I think we're somewhere around like 270. I'll try to find that real quick while we're talking on the side and I'm not finding it real quick. Even sight. 275. There it is for, for Dalton rushing. But the options, you mentioned this, you alluded to this. The options are not sexy right now at AAA.
Starting point is 00:27:10 I just don't even know who these people are. Like I'm ready to get, I'm ready to get Austin Barnes off the effing couch. Like at least I know what Austin Barnes is going to give you. He's going to catch a good game. He's going to frame it great. He may not give you any offense, but we don't need offense from our catcher. We need somebody that can catch a game and like manage a pitching staff. I don't know who these gentlemen are. Chuckie Robin. And maybe that's on me. Like that's totally on me. Chuck. Dodgers legend, Chuckie Robinson at AAA and then L.Azer Alfonso, 297. That's their batting average. I don't give a shit. I don't know what that's going to give this team.
Starting point is 00:27:47 Like, what, like, what are we doing? We should note, it's World Series champion. Chuckie Robinson, because he did get into one game with the team last year in a little, like, like, drive-by call-up sort of thing. Sure, so did I. So did I. No, you got your ring in 20. You got your ring in 20.
Starting point is 00:28:06 I know. I guess tagging me 21. I missed, I missed 24 and 25. That's, I should have left too soon. Listen, you'll do anything. Honestly, though, but do we know anything about these two? Not so much. I honestly, I thought L.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A. Alfonso was somebody completely different.
Starting point is 00:28:24 I thought that was like the dude who had been a German catcher. I thought he played with the Rockies. Then I looked him up and I was like, oh, damn, that's not, bro. You were thinking of Tover. No. That's a short stop. They had another guy. There was an Alfonso. All right. You know. Oh, so all of my people are the same? is what you're saying. No, I was to say, you know, you know how those.
Starting point is 00:28:50 All of the Hispanics are the same. No, no. No, actually, I was going to go a completely different way to talk shit. It's like, you know how all of those, those Colorado Rockies catchers are a dime a dozen? Oh. If you know, you know. How dare you? Listen, we need a little bit of joy.
Starting point is 00:29:12 Hey, hey, he had a good career. He had a damn good career. Yeah, really. He's fully best. And mother effer? I'm aware. I understand how the internet works. I will punch you right in your throat.
Starting point is 00:29:23 Anyway. Drop in the comments if you guys know we're talking about. Anyways. Latino slant in the chat says, dang, Rizzo on the war path. Yeah. Ray James asked,
Starting point is 00:29:36 and why are these fools dunking on Tucker when he went two for four? Blame hurt, blame dry. Did you not see the chat? Yeah, we're not dunking. We're not dunking on Tucker.
Starting point is 00:29:45 Like this is like, we're not dunking. We're not dunking, Ray James. We're not. Yeah. I'm not. Yeah. Bro, are you just, are you just new to the show? We're not dunking on him.
Starting point is 00:29:55 No. Some people show up. And we appreciate you guys showing up. Not much more to really add to this. I mean, it was an ugly game. You flush this one. You hope. See, I don't, I don't, see, I disagree.
Starting point is 00:30:07 It was an ugly result, but I don't think it was an ugly game. It was actually an entertaining game. We're so used to dominating everything. that you don't want the back and forth and you don't want to lose to a team like the pirates. But I do appreciate the fight, and it was entertaining. I don't like the, I don't like the result, but I'll take the game. That's okay.
Starting point is 00:30:28 Like, Shohei went deep into the game. Brian Ward with a grand slam. Almost two run homer. That gives us something to talk about on Monday with him. It's fine. It's all good. I meant to say almost a two homer game for Shohei as well does get robbed by Brian Reynolds out there in left field long time future dodger but great but don't shoot he's on a future
Starting point is 00:30:51 dodger they locked him up but don't you appreciate the effort I realize it's a short kind of kind of a short porch what I mean that you love the effort right like that was a decent yeah I mean and give the pirates a little bit of credit because they have nothing to play for it like their their biggest like their biggest flex is Paul skeins and that's a that's a great flex but like at least they're still out there. I mean, I don't ever fault the players, right? I fault the organization. So yeah. Anyways, if you guys want more. We'll be back tomorrow.
