    You’re not up to snuff Dave. You’re condescending obnoxious and you made a fool of yourself.

  • 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.

Dodger Talk (8-27-26)
Q: What went wrong in the Braves series that prevented a better outcome?
The Dodgers struggled to translate five hits into a rally, were victimized by Chris Sale's elite outing, and couldn't string together timely hits with runners in scoring position, leaving little room for error in close games.
Dodgers on Deck (8-29-26)
Q: Is Shohei Ohtani going to pitch tomorrow?
It remains very much in doubt, with emphasis on whether he is 100 percent and how many innings would be appropriate, potentially just one inning as a rehab appearance if he does pitch.
Dodger Talk with Dino Ebel (8-26-26)
Q: In the seventh inning with Mookie Betts at third base, would you send him home or hold him given the situation?
In that moment the decision hinges on the left fielder's arm, the depth of the throw, and the likelihood of a close play. If the throw is shallow and the runner's momentum is strong, I might gamble; otherwise I'd hold to prevent risking a tag at home.
Dodgers on Deck (8-27-26)
Q: Tarik, what are you most looking forward to about going back to Detroit?
Skubal described feeling a blend of familiarity and focus, treating it like any other start while acknowledging emotional connections with teammates, and he stressed staying consistent and competitive in approach.
Dodgers on Deck (8-30-26)
Q: What's the approach to reviving the offense and getting through September?
The focus is on taking good at-bats, scaling back risky swings, and letting different players contribute, while the coaching staff monitoring matchups and bullpen depth.
