And you couldn't ask for a better start to this game. Hey, we got a Dodger win on a Tuesday night. We got not a bullpen game on a Tuesday night post-game edition of Dodgers territory. and we've got Greg Bergman. I'm pointing the wrong way.

I've got to get better at that. You would think I've been doing this for years. The mirror. But that is Greg Bergman in the flesh on the internet at corporate Greg. Of course, you guys know him. The guy who does many, probably too many things over there at ESPN LA Radio. And of course, one of your fine hosts of Blue Review every morning on, well, every weekday morning on ESPN LA's YouTube channel where you'll also find me on Monday, mornings. But Greg, listen, I feel pretty dang good. The Dodgers win. And as I'm about to put here on the

screen, Dodgers win and Yamamoto gets the runs. We were talking while the early throws of the game were going here. And you couldn't ask for a better start to this game. No, absolutely not. Yamamoto looking up and seeing way, whoa, whoa, whoa, well, that's not a zero on the board. Wait, that's a four, not even a one, a four spot in the first inning. For me, for me, that's, it's ever been heard of before. So, you know, this is one of those things that when he actually can get some run support, he actually looked a little bit like nervous in the second. He actually. So he got the run support. He's like, I don't know what to do with this and took a couple before he got a couple of outs. He looked a little bit off. But it was great to see him actually get a run support and you

better get run support against a team like the White Tops. Yeah, I love you. You texted me the same thing I was thinking a few minutes before, you know, in that moment. It's like he didn't seem like he knew what to do with those runs. But thankfully, locks, locks it right the F back in. And what an outing. What an outing for Yamamoto there. Welcome to July with a seven-inning one-earn-run-run performance.

By the way, John Hardtung and the post game, or the pre-game show on Sports at LA, that was his prediction. He picked Yamamoto's pick-to-click, and he nailed that. But guys, sound off in the comments, by the way. What did you like about this game? you hate about this game does not a whole lot to hate about this game show hey had himself a day

andy pa has had himself a day uh again runs in the first inning i also do want to remind you guys quickly dodgers territory has a store now it is open check out the store if you would not mind click that that little uh what is that a QR code scan it you go to dodger territory shop dot com or click the store button here on youtube support the show in style support me support alana by the way Alana out today. She is on vacation. I forgot where she said she's going, but somewhere better. Oh, did you want the...

I was trying to get to the QR code. Here, there it is. Look, just for you, everybody. Be cool like Greg Bergman. And... Get yourself some merch, swag out for the second half of the postseason. Sorry, the second half of the regular season here.

But yeah, it's kind of funny with Yamamoto, and we'll bring the, um, I'll bring the, um, bring the, let me make sure I have it set up, right.

We'll bring the comments in here. Appreciate everybody hanging out with us in the chat. Uh, I think the, the, the stat was three first inning runs of support all season long. And then he had four in the first inning here. Like,

Yamamoto getting points on the board early. It's, it's just fun to watch him kind of, uh, kind of work with that because as we've said a number of times, there's a reason the Dodgers, the reason every team was in on this dude, at least that,

that, the high dollar teams were in on this dude and why the Dodgers gave him a cool $325 million. Dude is an absolute stud. He's an ace. And he was dealing tonight once again. Yeah, no, he absolutely wasn't. This is two, this is two starts in a row, too. Against the Rockies, he was phenomenal.

He gave up nothing in there. It was just the, was the Rockies? Yeah. And then it was, what, 56 pitches over five hours before the rain. And then the rain came. And he got those two runs. because Muncie popped the ball into the air and it just happened to land in front of the first basement in the second between Alando Arcia and it just dropped and you're like is that that's how

we're going to get you run support. This is what it takes to get run support for Yoshinovo Yamamoto. But I think much, much better today. It was nice. It actually didn't feel that way at first. It didn't feel like it was going to go there because you went one, two, when Shohay, Freddie right off the bat out, out really, really quick within like five, six pitches. And then all of a sudden by the end of the inning, it was at 24, 25, so it all of a sudden just kind of took off. And because of guys like Max Muncie, Will Smith, and Annie Paz, it's now the middle of the lineup. The middle of the lineup is really starting to come together.

And when that portion of it is hitting well, it makes a massive, massive difference. Because you're going to assume that Shohei, Freddie, Mugi, Teo are going to get on for the most part of here and there. So that middle part of the lineup is such a big deal to get runs support. and it happened tonight. It was just great to finally see it for Yama. Just because July, July is the new year, new month for Yama. Brand new.

Nothing to noon, everything in July. Isn't this, is this first time technically pitching in July because that was, was he heard in June last year? I don't remember how that, how that went. But a little bit more Yamamoto, I see we got a super chat. From my buddy, Kevin Yuhas, $5, super chat for the channel saying hashtag free Richie. Richie could be freed over on all Dodgers after this show is up. Jeff and Kevin will be live on my other YouTube channel.

Maddie Man 5 Dodge, give me some love, by the way. Greg Bergerin, smart cat knows baseball. And that's why I love talking baseball with this dude. But Yamamoto now has a career high in regular season innings. Last year he threw 60 regular seasonings innings for the Dodgers. Now it's 60, I think it's 66. or sorry, 90. Now he's at 96 for the season. The last thing I'll have on Yamamoto, because we've got to talk offense. We got to talk Shohei. We got to talk five consecutive two-out hits in that first inning to get to the four runs in the first. But are there any concerns now? If we're talking about Yamamoto, still having an entire second half of the regular season to go, like letting him go, letting it eat, or do you kind of make?

maybe try to bake in a little bit of time for him, a little bit of time off. Like they, I think they planned before, all that kind of stuff. Are you worried about him just continuing to go through the rest of the season? Because that's apparently a thing we need to do these days. Yeah, I mean, you kind of have to do that for him. I think they will find a place for him to get some time off. It just, like you said, this is the most innings he ever pitched in Major League Baseball. He's obviously pitched a ton more over in Japan.

But it's a little bit, it's a different kind of different ball. everything's a little bit different, but if you, it depends, like, what do you want from him? It's everything that you do for the Dodgers is all about the postseason. So, do you want him pitching well in July and August, or do you want him pitching well in September and October? I think they're going to lead more towards that September October. The problem is, right now, they don't have enough arms to weird some time now. And he's the, he's, him and Dustin May, weirdly enough, are the only ones going every single time in their return in turn and rotation. So until they do get some guys back, until Glass now decides that he doesn't want to have it, his ankle doesn't hurt, then he can come back at some point.

Then, and if Snell can come back, if you can start to have a full rotation behind Yama, and Sasaki, I saw today that he has no pain right now. So that's a good thing. When those guys come back and you have a little bit more of a breathing room in that pitching staff, then you can give Yama that little break that he needs. But for right now, you just can't. Yeah, you really, you really cannot. They're not afforded that luxury at all. I like that point. Hopefully in the second half of the season here, we start to get some arms back, starts to get some bodies back. I'm not counting on very much from Roki Sasaki. I would kind of identify that as more of a nice to have rather than you need to have him in the second half. But hopefully, hey, if he's feeling good, if he's feeling froggy, he can start getting off a mound soon and things will start trending in a really good direction for this team. More, Dodger, territory to come i did want to put this comment out there from elisheva jones saying i think alana is prettier i'm assuming that's about you gregg but i would i would hope so that and yes she is very much prettier than i am i will take that one you're very pretty much i'm on on uh ticot by the way

the same one i have you don't know i don't tic talk i don't believe in the ticac you know when you live in a world in the in the world of esp nela and it's all about social media and everything you got to be up on the the on the tic-toks. And kids are into? I have a person. I just, I don't know. Maybe it's just me. Well, shout out to any Elisheva that's on either supporting us here on Dodgers shows,

which she's great. She's on just about every show that I'm usually around, and she's phenomenal, very supportive of Dodgers content creators here on YouTube. So we very much appreciate that. And everybody else who's in the chat here, Roy Estrada, a bunch of people, BC, our guy, Richie, who dropped in a, a super chat. But first, we got to hear from our friends over at Fowl Territory.

Six runs on the board for the Dodgers against the lowly white socks. I will give some credit to their pitcher. Was it Shane Smith or something like that? Yeah, he looked pretty nasty in the first inning.

Dodgers, obviously, just a little bit too much for him, but very simple delivery, 99 miles per hour. But apparently Dodgers offense a little bit too much there. Andy Pahez with an RBI single there. How about the legend of Michael Conforto? Hall of Famer, much here. Six hit six RBI over his last five games. But he was a big part of that five consecutive two out base hits,

which led to the four runs for the Dodgers in the first, in the bottom of the first, and of course, some actual run support for Yamamoto. But beyond that, that, you know, a couple nice plays for Conforto down the line. I feel like we all talk so much about Michael Conforto. I don't really want to talk about him too much. You have anything Conforto to add? So the only thing I'll add, and yes, I am not one of the Conforto lovers that are out there. I think there's only one or two. But that's six runs and six hits that he's had in the last what is that five games that is that would have said. That might have been more than he had in the

75 before that. So, you know, that's great for him that he's moving forward. This is positive. you know what? Look, Michael in Ford, if he can start, he's been hitting the ball hard for a long time. He's been for probably about close to a couple weeks now, maybe even a month. He's hitting the ball hard, but he just wasn't getting hits. So good for him for finally getting out there and actually getting hits and in big spots, too, to get some RBIs as well. Cole is right. A blind squirrel can find a nut, but if that is that, if that's going to change and those hard hits are supposed to are about to fall, that's just good for this Dodger offense that you're talking about. So we can all hate on him. It's fun to do, but, but,

look, we still need them to do well. And considering the plan is, it feels very much like the plan is going to keep running them out there until you don't have, I don't know, as long as they're in first place, I think Giants lost tonight, Padres, they were rained out. So Dodgers continue to grow their lead in the National League West, which I do think we had somebody who mentioned that here, John saying NOS blown wide open right now. but you as I think we said this yesterday morning it's like you are afforded these luxuries the key of apparently we're talking Michael Comforto again uh but you know you're afforded these luxuries man to kind of just eventually or see if he eventually something happens and if not you know eff it you're still in the lead and you could make a move later in the season for a James outman or or somebody to take that bench spot whatever you know however it plays out but um another note I saw final Conforto thing and then I'll let you speak about Conforto and then we'll move on. I think I also saw, I didn't have the exact number, but I think it was last like 17 played appearances has not struck out. Not 100% sure if that's accurate, but that's honestly a little bit more impressive as well. Yeah, that is because he was striking out a lot. I would love to know

how many ground ball double plays he's ground into that, but that's a whole other story. But look, the problem with it that I have with Conforto is not how bad he's been playing. It's a big part of it. But it's the same. it's what he's doing to Hessan Kim at that at this point because Hessan Kim is not getting time because Conforto has to play left which means that Edmund has to play Pahas has to play Teo has to play there just isn't a space for him he got in today against the lefty in a high velocity pitching lefty because Muki was out otherwise he probably would have been knocked out yet once again because Conforto was in left field so that's what I'm kind of more upset about

because I mean I want to see what Hesson Kim has because if he's not being out there he's not playing every game after game you don't know what he's going to be and what he can be for the postseason where we kind of have an idea of what michael conforto is not a good great outfielder he didn't make too great catches but besides that he's not a great outfielder and he hasn't been very good at the play if he's not striking out he's getting hits fine i get it but i just want to see more kim to see if he is somebody that can be viable in the later months and in october yeah and i've been a big an arguer of that as well. It's like, I don't think, I don't think Conforto is going to be a big part of the October plan. Let's see if Kim gives them something and, you know, figure it out now before the

All-Star break or else, you know, you're not really able to speak now or forever, hold your peace sort of thing is what the Dodgers kind of need to do there. But there was more to this game than Yamamoto and Michael Conforto. There's a lot of Otani, but I did want to make sure I got Richie, Richard Flores with 499 Superchat. Thank you very much, Richie. What are two things that never happened? Yamamoto, getting run support, and Mani Machado having class and morals. He loves a good Mani Machado burn. Of course, after the Dodgers. I love any Mani Machado burn you can possibly put out there. Yeah, yeah, he's a real piece of work. And also, Mr. Richard Flores appreciates your living

room because one of my co-hosts on my All-Dodger show, he works out of the kitchen. Yeah, I like that. I think it's pretty honest, actually. Where was, hold on, let's get to the full screen there. Where was your, that is nice. That's a lot of floor plan there. Look at that. Man, ESPN, paying the man. Oh, it's really not that expensive.

But yeah, I know where I'm going for my dancing lessons. We're going to Greg Bergman's house. Plenty of room. Plenty of room. So much room for activities. All right, all right. Let's talk about Shohei F and Otani because he, I guess, is tied with greatness, if you want to call it that, or a flash in the plan.

Pan-Fluke season that was Cody Bellinger's 2019, but I'm calling a Cody O'Tonnie here. Most Dodgers, homers for a Dodger in the first half, Shohey now ties Cody Bellinger with 30 bambas here in the first half. And he's just been show damn good. You see here, first 86 games, Shohei just keeps extending this sort of record. He has been phenomenal. 30 homers is a Dodgers franchise record over. 86 games. And listen, if we're, if we're saying first half, I'm like the first half technically

has passed, but I know we don't call it the first half until you get to the All-Star game. But superlatives about Shohei, throw them at me. Yeah, that, I mean, there isn't enough superlatives out there. But Joe Hay is one of the most amazing players I've ever seen play baseball. And that's, I don't think that's hyperbole in the slightest. He does things that you just don't see anybody else do. the 30 home runs, the 50-50 last year. Every time a big moment happens, he is usually right in the middle of it. There's nothing. He's going to at some point in this season or next season, he's going to have a multi-home run

game and pitch six innings shut up all. Like it's something like that is going to happen. And that's just something that we've never seen. And this is, everybody compares it to Babe Ruth because that's the only guy that's really done both. But Babe Ruth didn't even do this type of stuff. He stopped pitching. He pitched for a little bit, and then he went straight to hitting, and that was it.

So this is on a whole other level for anybody else. The guy is just a monster, and every time he hits, you think it's going to leave the park. The fact he's a Dodger just makes everything so much more excited. Yeah, he is a fun, fun baseball dude to watch. I saw this. I just want to throw this up completely derailing any sort of semblance of continuity to the show, but I love Alex's comments. It's ESPN Mula.

That's pretty dang good. I'm telling you, if you saw what my rent check is every month, you would not be saying. Hey, hey, listen, Greg loves some good rent control. I tell you what. Yes, he does. My last name, actually, I want you. Yeah, listen, listen, we don't want to get too crazy. Hey, Diane is checking in from Vegas.

What's going on, Diane? Hopefully, hopefully you're winning, winning all the slots or whatever people do in Vegas. One guy who's trying to win himself a ticket to the midsummer classic is. Andy Pahez trying to be a first time National League All-Star, and he had himself another solid game, a couple hits in here, an RBI single or RBI double, I believe it was, in the first inning. But he has been incredible with runners in scoring position. And overall, I mean, he is just a complete baseball player.

And we've talked, like off and on, Dodgers really haven't had, they haven't created a solid position player for quite some time. Last guy was probably Will Smith. You could definitely say Will Smith. Gavin Lucks didn't really pan out. Like is Andy Pahez? Is it too early to say like he is the real deal? He is a budding. I don't know if it's a superstar, but a budding star in this league. Oh, no. He absolutely is a budding star in this league. I think we saw some of it last year and it just wasn't really fully clicking. And then you saw what was going on at the beginning of the season where that wasn't at all. He was, look, people were clamoring him for to go back down a AAA. But it was always like, all right, give him some time. Let's see what he can do for a little while.

And then all of a sudden, it just flipped out of nowhere. He was running, he was running into outs. He was a terrible base runner. He was overrunning balls in the outfield. And he was saying, oh my God, this guy's a mess in the outfield. But he has this crazy, strong arm. So, you know, you got to keep putting him out there. Now instead, excuse me, now instead, he's a great defensive outfielder. He is not running into outs. He is hitting with runners in the scoring position. and just hitting in general. He has more home runs that he did all of last year and it was only halfway through the season. And he has just become what everybody expects a guy to come up from the Dodgers organization.

And it's just nice to see that there's another one in the pipeline that came up and just doing just that. Because without him, this team is not in first place right now. Without him, he was stealing home runs for Roki Sasaki. Stealing home runs from everybody. Got about that. Waiting home runs. Like the guy has just been, with him, Without him, and you have all these other superstars, but without him, they're losing games in the middle of the reason.

Because who else would be playing in the outfield? That's the thing. I mean, maybe we see more Hess on Kim or whatever, but I love Andy Pahez. He deserves all the flowers. He is getting these days. Mike Schult knows his effing name now. Oh, we could say fucking on the show, but he knows his name now. And I hope people are voting for him for the All-Star game.

I do have two more. I don't know if there's spicy questions. for you, but I think there are two more hot-ist questions for you, hot-ish. Kind of done with Game Talk. I want to talk about two other things, but first, you guys are going to hear from Alana and I about Draft Kings. Nothing beats relaxing on a hot summer day and watching baseball.

And Greg, before the game, we saw a shot of Miguel Vargas getting his World Series ring. Listen, do they just give away too many World Series rings now? Like, the Dodgers win this year. Like Zach Penrod, I think, gets a World Series ring.

This is my spicy question. Are there just too many players receiving these rings? So, yeah, I think so. But at the same time, like, if you were one of those players, If you were Miguel Vargas, do you want that ring? Like, I get it for Miguel Vargas. I'm going to without trading Vargas to the White Sox, we don't get Kopeck. You don't get Flaherty.

Like, you don't, like things, or not, sorry, not Flaherty, you don't get Kopeck. And that it was a big part of the bullpen, the bullpen dogs. It's part of the same trade. It was a three-team trade, I think. But even so, go ahead. Yeah, all of it. Yeah, they all kind of melded together. So I get it for him, but like, would you even want that World Series ring?

I don't know if I would. I mean, it's cool to have it, but you're like, yeah, I was trade. like two months into the season so yeah yeah it's um play in the post season i mean i could get if you're on the team but don't play in the game like clinton kershaw gets a rain he was on the team yeah and he played an important role in the middle of the season the only reason he wasn't a part of you know the postseason roster is because he was hurt you know like you understand that much but like you know let's say like a james paxton i'm trying to pull up last year's roster like Absolutely really important at the beginning of the year.

Imagine Jason Hayward getting that ring. Like, if I'm Jay Hay, I don't want that ring. There you go. Nick Ahmed in there. Oh, about Ahmed Rosario. There you go. Back and forth. That's where he used.

He likes his home runs off the Dodgers. Yeah, Chuck's that some bitch right there. But those are the ones. Taylor Tremel, Dodgers legend. Taylor Trimel. Did you play like one or two games? It's five games, six played appearance. experiences negative.

Yeah, Gavin Bizio in the flesh. You're going to sign out of here real, real quick. But I don't know. That's just funny. I think there's too many. Too many rings going out there. You know what? I have one more thing, but I don't really care.

It's going to be more just old men yelling at a cloud. And I don't think we need to do that. Cole asking Manuel Margot or bring it up Margot. I don't think Margot would get one. He was traded during spring training. But then again, this organization's all class. I would not be shocked if they still gave him a ring just for being around. That said, I would like a ring.

Yeah, I'd like a ring too, but I want to know what I want to yell about a cloud. I like yelling clouds. Well, the final thing, quickly, because I know my boys are going live over on my YouTube channel, but are there also, like, there's just too many Dodgers on the All-Star ballot here. There's a lot, man. And, like, right there, that's only seven. The one's missing. Like, Pahas isn't on there.

Oh, no, he is. No, Pahas is on there. Shohay is not on there because you can't vote. for him he he's locked in there but like listen yeah teoscar i love him doesn't belong on there pete pt pro armstrong is an absolute star and deserves to be on there uh kettel martay is your starting second baseman for the national league like accunuchin's going to be out there he's been great the last month and it's in Atlanta so he's going to be in the outfield yeah i would love for pahas should be out there too yeah i would love for and dave running the team

Yeah, I think he will. And Dave running the team, I think that plays a whole, a good role as well. We want Muncie. Oh, Donnie, boy, that's the one guy who needs to be on there. Max Muncie's having a hell of a season and it's a better season, in my opinion, and statistically, than many Machadoes. But guys, that's about it. That is Greg Bergman. I appreciate you hanging out with me, bud. Let me push the button that shows your name and all that kind of stuff again. Not that one, but guys, give him a follow.
