  • Love dodger talk

    I’ve been listening to dodger talk for about 8 years. Big fan of the show and love the catch up I get on the games when I’m not able to watch.

    I gave the show 5 stars but I have one qualm. That Shakey’s pizza commercial has GOTTA GO. It instantly pisses me off. It’s beyond obnoxious and I will never eat at Shakeys because I hate that commercial so much.

    Let’s threepeat

  • Lighten up Dave

    Really good info and insight you have ....but on more than one occasion every night you are condescending and rude. Yes this is a sports pod cast with input from want to be GM's and dudes who think they could've made it. That's the audience, deal with it, you want high value production and takes...go host somewhere else.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Sax and Cates In The Morning (Hour 3) 9/29/26
Q: You got a guy in second base, nobody out, and the right-handed hitter up, and you have a chasm between the first baseman and the second baseman because the second baseman is not even thinking about that guy hitting the other way. ... Can you make some sanity out of this?
Boone recalls Edgar Martinez teaching him that a batter should work to move the runner while still seeking a hit. He says consistent attention to situational play creates a team culture in which everyone contributes to scoring.
Sax and Cates In The Morning (Hour 3) 9/29/26
Q: Your just thoughts going into this postseason, the excitement of the wild card round and maybe how open this postseason is with the Brewers and the Dodgers and the Rays and everybody vying for that title.
Boone says he enjoys the current postseason format and sees an open field. He gives the Dodgers an edge from their championship experience, while calling the Brewers and Rays strong teams built on depth, fundamentals and pitching.
Sax and Cates In The Morning (Hour 3) 9/28/26
Q: How would you compare these two teams, and do you think the Dodgers are in good shape to maybe make it a three-peat?
Charlie Steiner sees the rotation as the team's main strength and says the postseason experience of its veteran lineup gives reason for optimism, despite questions about the bullpen's closer and an offense that has been merely adequate.
Sax and Cates In The Morning (Hour 3) 9/28/26
Q: What are the Dodgers' possibilities or deficiencies going forward to beat any of these teams now in the postseason?
Tim Cates says the rotation is healthier than earlier in the season, with Blake Snell, Tyler Glasnow and Yoshinobu Yamamoto available after injury-shortened seasons. Steve Sax adds that the rested starters give the Dodgers a strong chance, though no outcome is guaranteed.
Dodger Talk (9-27-26)
Q: What do you think this week is going to look like in terms of constructing that roster while making sure to keep an eye on what the NL Wildcard and the AL Wildcard teams are doing?
Tim Cates says the players will have a day off before returning to baseball activities and treatment, with the 26-man NLDS roster still to be determined.
