And now your voice for Dodger 3 00:00:10.880 --> 00:00:19.280 Talk. Like back damn cats Well I Dave fill with mixed emotions for the 4 00:00:19.440 --> 00:00:22.839 Dodgers here at Dodgers Stadium. They get a three nothing a win over the 5 00:00:22.920 --> 00:00:28.800 Kansas City Royals. Shohi Otani goes deep twice, Freddie Freeman hit back to 6 00:00:28.879 --> 00:00:32.880 back home runs with Otani in the sixth enning. Tyler Glass now gets back 7 00:00:32.960 --> 00:00:37.320 on track with seven shutout innings for the win, his first since May fourth. 8 00:00:37.840 --> 00:00:41.159 Dodgers take two or three from the Royals with a three to nothing shutout 9 00:00:41.240 --> 00:00:47.880 win, all to have it come to a temper with Mookie Betts finding out 10 00:00:47.960 --> 00:00:54.000 that he has a fractured left hand after getting drilled in the seventh inning by 11 00:00:54.159 --> 00:01:00.280 Royals reliever Dan Altavila a ninety eight mile an hour fastball off his life left 12 00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:04.079 hand. He went down. He was down for several minutes in pain. 13 00:01:04.359 --> 00:01:08.879 Dave Roberts and the Dodger training staff rushed out to Mookie Bets. He was 14 00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:14.079 on the ground riding in pain for several minutes before being helped off the field. 15 00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:18.640 You knew right away this is not good. If Mookie Bets is in 16 00:01:18.760 --> 00:01:23.280 this much pain and where he got hit directly by a ninety eight mile an 17 00:01:23.319 --> 00:01:26.400 hour fastball, it does not feel like this is going to be a good 18 00:01:26.480 --> 00:01:32.000 thing. And sure enough they did X rays a fracture in his left hand. 19 00:01:32.400 --> 00:01:34.959 Dave Roberts informed us during the Clubhouse show as we heard from him and 20 00:01:36.040 --> 00:01:40.159 his postgame thoughts about Mookie Betts, and then we heard from Mookie himself say 21 00:01:40.239 --> 00:01:42.640 it's just going to take rest, no surgery. He will meet with the 22 00:01:42.760 --> 00:01:49.439 hand specialists here tomorrow in Los Angeles to find out more the extent of the 23 00:01:49.599 --> 00:01:55.319 injury, and I assume we'll find out what the time table looks like for 24 00:01:55.519 --> 00:02:00.879 Mookie Bets and this fractured left hand surgery noted. That is great news. 25 00:02:01.359 --> 00:02:07.879 That certainly brings down the recovery time dramatically. Now it's just a waiting game 26 00:02:07.920 --> 00:02:13.240 as far as rest and how quickly that left hand can heal for Mookie Bets. 27 00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:15.879 Now it's the middle of June, his father's day, It's June sixteenth. 28 00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:21.319 You still got half a season to go, which is good news. 29 00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:23.280 You don't want to see this happen at any time of the year. But 30 00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:28.439 as Dave Roberts was asked in his media session, if it's gonna happen, 31 00:02:29.199 --> 00:02:34.120 aren't you thankful what happened right now so he's got time to come back and 32 00:02:34.240 --> 00:02:37.080 get ready for October. And the answer is yes, you don't want this 33 00:02:37.199 --> 00:02:39.919 to happen ever, but you certainly don't want to happen late in the season 34 00:02:39.960 --> 00:02:45.479 where you lose a guy potentially for October. So that is the silver lining 35 00:02:45.599 --> 00:02:49.080 I guess out of this. Yes, Mookie's out with a hand injury. 36 00:02:49.199 --> 00:02:55.800 It's fractured, no surgery, shorter timetable, and it happened here in June 37 00:02:55.919 --> 00:03:00.560 to give him time to come back and be a part of this team September 38 00:03:00.199 --> 00:03:05.680 and October. Eight sixty six nine eighty seven two five seventy is the telephone 39 00:03:05.759 --> 00:03:09.360 number. Eight sixty six nine eighty seven two five seventy. On top of 40 00:03:09.439 --> 00:03:14.800 all that, with Mookie beds, we find out from Dave Roberts more about 41 00:03:14.879 --> 00:03:19.560 Yoshinobu Yamamoto. Now, last night, the Dodger right hander came out of 42 00:03:19.599 --> 00:03:23.039 the game after throwing twenty eight pitches in two innings. And after the words 43 00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:30.960 we found out it was tricep tightness in his right tricep in this throwing arm. 44 00:03:30.840 --> 00:03:38.000 Goes on the il today and and in doing so we find out afterwards 45 00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:45.319 it's not in the tricep, it's a strained rotator cuff. Now not a 46 00:03:45.439 --> 00:03:50.199 doctor, but kind of feels like those are different parts of your arm. 47 00:03:50.319 --> 00:03:55.039 The rotator cuff more up in your shoulder area, whereas the tricep certainly behind 48 00:03:55.120 --> 00:04:00.120 your bicep more on your arm. Feels like two different spots. But certainly 49 00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:05.280 they're able to pinpoint what it is and no surgery is required. Just like 50 00:04:05.400 --> 00:04:12.120 Mookie Bets, so positive to silver lining. Injury stinks, but the silver 51 00:04:12.240 --> 00:04:15.680 lining is it could have been worse. It's a strain in the right rotator 52 00:04:15.759 --> 00:04:19.879 cuff. Rest, rest and rest feels like you when you go the doctor 53 00:04:19.920 --> 00:04:23.360 and you get an injury, you feel sick and they say, hey, 54 00:04:23.879 --> 00:04:26.959 just lay down, rests, take it easy, get off your feet. 55 00:04:27.560 --> 00:04:29.759 Well, that's what it is. For Mookie Bets, rest, rest, 56 00:04:29.879 --> 00:04:35.879 rest, get that broken bone in the hand healed. And for Yoshinoba Yamamoto, 57 00:04:36.439 --> 00:04:41.600 rest, rest, rest, get that shoulder strain, the inflammation down, 58 00:04:42.040 --> 00:04:46.560 get that pain out of it and come back, hopefully in a few 59 00:04:46.639 --> 00:04:48.839 weeks and start being able to throw a baseball again. He won't throw for 60 00:04:48.959 --> 00:04:53.000 a few weeks. Dave Roberts made that known. They're shutting him down for 61 00:04:53.120 --> 00:04:56.600 a few weeks to give him complete rest. He will not be throwing a 62 00:04:56.639 --> 00:05:01.639 baseball to let that inflammation, that strain in the right shoulder subside, and 63 00:05:01.839 --> 00:05:05.600 hopefully he can get right here post All Star break. And I say post 64 00:05:05.639 --> 00:05:09.920 All Star break because we're what a month away from the All Star Game, 65 00:05:10.360 --> 00:05:14.600 the All Star break that's mid July. We're mid June. We're four weeks 66 00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:16.399 away. If he's not going to pick up a baseball for a few weeks, 67 00:05:16.519 --> 00:05:19.759 it's got to get ramped back up. Might as well just keep him 68 00:05:19.800 --> 00:05:24.279 out until after the All Star break. That's just my thoughts. Got eight 69 00:05:24.360 --> 00:05:28.040 game lead in the division, you got Bobby Miller coming back. You got 70 00:05:28.120 --> 00:05:30.639 a good bullpen that's got arms that are fresh. Guys are coming back healthy 71 00:05:30.680 --> 00:05:33.079 in the bullpen as well, Kyle Hurts, you know, off in the 72 00:05:33.160 --> 00:05:39.160 distance, you don't need to rush your Yoshin wib Yamamodo back just to have 73 00:05:39.360 --> 00:05:45.480 him for July games. Have them ready for September and October. That is 74 00:05:45.560 --> 00:05:48.600 the most important part of the baseball calendar. Eight sixty six, nine, 75 00:05:48.639 --> 00:05:51.639 eight seven to two, five seventy, so a lot to get into Dodger 76 00:05:51.720 --> 00:05:55.279 fans. And I want to hear from you. I don't want to hear 77 00:05:55.399 --> 00:05:58.839 doom and gloom. I don't want to hear sky is falling. I don't 78 00:05:58.839 --> 00:06:02.560 want to hear this season is over. You heard Dave Roberts. This team's 79 00:06:02.600 --> 00:06:06.800 got to move on. Yeah, it sucks. The Mookie Betts got hit 80 00:06:09.360 --> 00:06:13.160 by a ninety eight mile an hour fastball on his left hand and is now 81 00:06:13.279 --> 00:06:18.199 out. It stinks, But somebody's gotta play shortstop tomorrow, and Denver, 82 00:06:18.879 --> 00:06:23.600 somebody's got a bat leadoff. You can't go to Coursfield tomorrow and say I'm 83 00:06:23.639 --> 00:06:27.240 playing eight. We're gonna have a hole at shortstop and I've got no leadoff 84 00:06:27.319 --> 00:06:30.120 batter, because what are we supposed to do? No Mookie Betts. Now, 85 00:06:30.399 --> 00:06:32.759 you gotta get out there tomorrow and get ready to play a series against 86 00:06:32.759 --> 00:06:36.600 the Rockies. And they got Miguel Rojas that can play every day at shortstop. 87 00:06:36.759 --> 00:06:42.120 They got Key k Hernandez who can play in shortstop as well. They've 88 00:06:42.160 --> 00:06:45.319 got show hey Otani who can move up and bat lead off. They can 89 00:06:45.399 --> 00:06:48.560 maneuver the lineup around because it's a deep lineup, as we've seen, not 90 00:06:48.839 --> 00:06:55.199 just one guy one through nine that they rely on. No, Mookie's part 91 00:06:55.240 --> 00:06:58.879 of a big three, a big four, big five in this Dodgers lineup, 92 00:06:58.879 --> 00:07:00.600 and it's a huge hole. Don't get me wrong, this stinks. 93 00:07:01.439 --> 00:07:03.879 You don't want to lose anybody. You certainly don't want to lose one of 94 00:07:03.920 --> 00:07:09.959 your superstar MVPs. But the Dodgers have to keep moving on and they've got 95 00:07:10.079 --> 00:07:13.240 the depth to do it. This isn't a franchise or a team here in 96 00:07:13.279 --> 00:07:17.000 twenty twenty four that has no depth and has got no answer, and it 97 00:07:17.120 --> 00:07:20.480 has to go out and do it via trade or bring in somebody who is 98 00:07:20.720 --> 00:07:27.879 obviously not, as you know, a fit and shortstop or not gonna bring 99 00:07:27.959 --> 00:07:30.360 the offense like a Mookie Bets. So you're gonna have to find other guys 100 00:07:30.399 --> 00:07:32.319 to re elevate their game now to help fill the void, no doubt, 101 00:07:32.759 --> 00:07:38.439 because it is not easy or daring near impossible to find somebody to do what 102 00:07:38.480 --> 00:07:41.959 Mookie Betts does at the top of the lineup like he brings every single night. 103 00:07:42.639 --> 00:07:45.319 But again, the Dodgers have got to get ready for Denver now, 104 00:07:45.600 --> 00:07:47.720 and they've got the bodies and they've got the players to do it. I'm 105 00:07:47.800 --> 00:07:55.319 confident. I'm confident that they can ride this through now. As I was 106 00:07:55.319 --> 00:07:57.360 speaking here, we're gonna get to your phone calls in just a couple of 107 00:07:57.399 --> 00:07:59.839 minutes because I know a lot of Dodger fans have got a one line open. 108 00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:05.920 You want to jump on board was looking up during the break and Manny 109 00:08:05.959 --> 00:08:13.040 Machado of the Padres last year went on the injured list after he had a 110 00:08:13.199 --> 00:08:22.199 fractured metacarpal. A fractured metacarpal in his left hand. Okay. Initially X 111 00:08:22.319 --> 00:08:26.639 ray said it was clean, but further testing revealed that he had a small 112 00:08:26.759 --> 00:08:35.120 factor, a small fracture in the left hand. Now, Manny Machado went 113 00:08:35.320 --> 00:08:41.679 on the injured list a year ago. Colin Ye looked it up on the 114 00:08:41.759 --> 00:08:46.039 game blog, and I appreciate Colin doing this as we're talking, Colin Ye 115 00:08:46.120 --> 00:08:50.840 looked it up. Manny Bachado small fracture hit on the hand. May fifteenth 116 00:08:52.480 --> 00:08:58.600 was backed by June second. He missed fourteen games. Let's call it two 117 00:08:58.639 --> 00:09:03.759 and a half weeks he was out. That was it now, No, 118 00:09:03.919 --> 00:09:09.000 no, no, I don't want to get you too excited and start thinking, 119 00:09:09.039 --> 00:09:13.159 well, well, same injury. He'll be back in two Weeks's pump 120 00:09:13.200 --> 00:09:16.200 the brakes a little bit. This is just to give you an example of 121 00:09:16.279 --> 00:09:22.039 another player recently. Last season, Manny Machado hit in the left hand. 122 00:09:24.320 --> 00:09:28.720 It was a small fracture. I don't know the difference in fractures a fracture 123 00:09:28.799 --> 00:09:30.799 my book. If it's cracked, it's cracked. If it's broke, it's 124 00:09:30.840 --> 00:09:33.080 broke. Doesn't matter. If it's a small crack, big crack's it's it's 125 00:09:33.120 --> 00:09:37.960 all fracture, right, got to heal it now. If Mookie Betts, 126 00:09:39.679 --> 00:09:43.559 from what we understand, fracture left hand be evaluated again tomorrow by a hand 127 00:09:43.600 --> 00:09:48.480 specialist. If it's the same sort of injury, I don't know if he 128 00:09:48.559 --> 00:09:52.919 comes back like Manny Machado does in two and a half weeks and miss only 129 00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:58.519 fourteen games. But the point is it wasn't a season ending injury for Manny 130 00:09:58.559 --> 00:10:05.639 Machado just a year ago. It wasn't a three month injury for Manny Machado 131 00:10:05.320 --> 00:10:11.840 last year, same injury, fractured left hand hit by pitch last May, 132 00:10:11.039 --> 00:10:16.960 Manny Machado. Today Mookie Bets hit by pitch, fractured left hand middle of 133 00:10:16.080 --> 00:10:22.000 June. So there's some positivity there in my mind, there's some hope that 134 00:10:22.159 --> 00:10:28.799 this won't be a long il stent. Now, with that being said, 135 00:10:28.440 --> 00:10:33.519 you want Mookie Bets back healthy and ready to go, not a Mookie Bets 136 00:10:33.960 --> 00:10:37.840 that forces his way back, maybe rushes his way back, just to get 137 00:10:37.879 --> 00:10:41.960 back on the field. You need him to be at its best because they 138 00:10:41.000 --> 00:10:45.480 can't flare up. You don't want to be a linger injury. You won't 139 00:10:45.519 --> 00:10:48.840 don't want to be something that bothered him all year moving forward. The same 140 00:10:48.960 --> 00:10:54.840 time, somebody just reminded me Miguel Vargas got hit in the hand last year 141 00:10:54.279 --> 00:11:00.279 in spring training and could not hit. Miguel Vargas, I'm gonna look up 142 00:11:00.320 --> 00:11:03.159 how much he missed in spring Traine. Remember he was in the box and 143 00:11:03.279 --> 00:11:07.159 just kind of standing there and taking pitches and wasn't able to swing because he 144 00:11:07.240 --> 00:11:11.720 got hit. So there's some positive to what has been a somber afternoon here 145 00:11:13.000 --> 00:11:16.000 at Dodger Stadium. The only bright spot a Dodger win. The somber news 146 00:11:16.039 --> 00:11:20.480 of Mookie Betts going now on the il with the fractured left hand after getting 147 00:11:20.519 --> 00:11:24.679 hit by a pitch, and of course Yoshinobu Yamamoto having these strained right rotator 148 00:11:24.759 --> 00:11:28.600 cuff and going to miss significant time as well, at least not throw the 149 00:11:28.639 --> 00:11:31.399 baseball for a few weeks. All right, let's go out to the phones. 150 00:11:31.600 --> 00:11:35.440 We'll start off with Dake from Dodger Stadium. Dake, you're out here. 151 00:11:35.519 --> 00:11:39.279 You're one of the fifty two thousand and seven eighty nine. Hope you 152 00:11:39.320 --> 00:11:41.519 had a great time until the seventh thinning. How you doing, Dake, 153 00:11:41.919 --> 00:11:46.279 I'm doing pretty good, Uh, I said, talk to you again, 154 00:11:46.399 --> 00:11:52.919 and uh shout out to show heal Thani for two jacks and uh first second 155 00:11:54.639 --> 00:12:01.600 Fred helped him and he got back to back Zack and we hope Mookie's gonna 156 00:12:01.600 --> 00:12:07.639 be okay. He's gonna be okay, and uh shout out to glass mountains. 157 00:12:07.639 --> 00:12:11.960 He didn't let anybody hit except like he he had seven in the pitch 158 00:12:11.080 --> 00:12:16.200 nowhere and runs right right and what we're talking about. Yeah, and he 159 00:12:16.679 --> 00:12:22.000 served up sharp shards to the other team and they were walking on broken glass 160 00:12:22.039 --> 00:12:26.399 over there, right. Yeah, Dake, I appreciate it. Hear from 161 00:12:26.440 --> 00:12:31.399 you. We also want to wish a happy Father's Day to you, Tim 162 00:12:31.480 --> 00:12:33.720 Kates. We know your father shout out to Don Kuko's as always, all 163 00:12:33.799 --> 00:12:37.879 right, appreciate it, Thank you, Dake and today's dad. I appreciate 164 00:12:37.919 --> 00:12:39.320 the shout out. I appreciate the Father's day. Love, Happy Father's Day, 165 00:12:39.399 --> 00:12:43.399 right back at to you as you are a great father. And having 166 00:12:43.440 --> 00:12:48.159 your boy watch some baseball and Dodger baseball and join it here on a Sunday 167 00:12:48.159 --> 00:12:50.159 and getting to see a Dodgers win. Certainly, Uh. The news tempered 168 00:12:50.240 --> 00:12:54.799 by the fact that rookie Betts is going on the entured list with the fractured 169 00:12:54.879 --> 00:12:56.840 left hand, and again, uh, certainly we wish the best for him. 170 00:12:58.399 --> 00:13:03.399 Miguel Vargas, it was broken fingers in spring training, so I mean 171 00:13:03.480 --> 00:13:09.039 it was the pinky, it was on his right hand, A little different, 172 00:13:09.399 --> 00:13:13.480 a little different. So I think the Manny Machado injury last year in 173 00:13:13.480 --> 00:13:16.519 which he got hit on the left hand and it was a fracture in his 174 00:13:16.639 --> 00:13:20.679 left hand, I think that's more of something we could look at as a 175 00:13:20.720 --> 00:13:24.919 similar injury and hopefully fingers crossed prayers up that it's the same kind of timetable 176 00:13:26.320 --> 00:13:30.360 moving forward for Mookie Bets. In that last year, Manny Machaddla just missed 177 00:13:30.480 --> 00:13:33.039 two and a half weeks officially fourteen games that he was on the IL. 178 00:13:33.120 --> 00:13:37.399 Let's keep going on the phones, Josh Sierra Madre, Thanks Josh for being 179 00:13:37.480 --> 00:13:41.240 patient. Welcome to postgame Dodger talking with the Dodgers beat the Royals three to 180 00:13:41.360 --> 00:13:43.440 nothing. Hello, Tim, I appreciate you. I appreciate you taking my 181 00:13:43.519 --> 00:13:46.399 call. I want to with you and your family. Happy Father's Day. 182 00:13:46.639 --> 00:13:52.159 Thank you. Somewhat of a somber weekend. It's great they took the series, 183 00:13:52.279 --> 00:13:56.879 but it's definitely a bit summer when you see two of your big cogs, 184 00:13:58.679 --> 00:14:01.279 Bets and Yamamoto go down. I mean when you saw Bets go down 185 00:14:01.879 --> 00:14:05.000 and the type of pain that he was, he didn't even want to stand 186 00:14:05.080 --> 00:14:07.799 up because he was in so much pain. You kind of knew right away 187 00:14:09.200 --> 00:14:13.639 that there's going to be some kind of fracture. Hopefully that you know it's 188 00:14:13.279 --> 00:14:16.879 since it is the same fracture that Machado suffered, he'll be in a similar 189 00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:20.759 timeline, maybe a bit longer, although I'm not going to try to rush 190 00:14:20.840 --> 00:14:26.240 him back. Sure, but between the two injuries. I am much more 191 00:14:26.360 --> 00:14:31.159 concerned about Yamamoto because when you hear a rotator cuff, you hear anything in 192 00:14:31.240 --> 00:14:37.360 the shoulder that usually doesn't go away within a month. So we'll see what 193 00:14:37.519 --> 00:14:39.759 happens. Obviously he's gonna get rest and everything, but you know, I 194 00:14:39.919 --> 00:14:48.639 keep thinking about seeing CODEI Senga on the injured list after he through last season 195 00:14:48.799 --> 00:14:52.799 with a lot of pitches with a ton of velocity. Yamamoto threw a lot 196 00:14:52.840 --> 00:14:58.720 of pitches in Japan and especially in the Japan Series last year. The Japanese 197 00:14:58.799 --> 00:15:03.559 pictures, they gets squeezed a lot out in their home league before they come 198 00:15:03.600 --> 00:15:07.279 over to North America, and sometimes you know, they tend to be damaged 199 00:15:07.320 --> 00:15:11.279 good when they come over here. So you hope, you just really hope 200 00:15:11.320 --> 00:15:13.919 that you know, some rest can do the job, because in my opinion, 201 00:15:13.399 --> 00:15:18.440 if the Dodgers do not have Yamamota healthy in October, I do not 202 00:15:18.559 --> 00:15:20.480 see the Dodgers making a deep run. I hope he comes back, but 203 00:15:22.279 --> 00:15:24.519 I'm much more concerned about Yamamoto than I am about Bets. All Right, 204 00:15:24.519 --> 00:15:30.240 appreciate the phone call, Thanks for checking in, Josh. I would agree 205 00:15:30.279 --> 00:15:35.440 with you. If we're gonna look at the two injuries to Bets and Yamamoto 206 00:15:35.759 --> 00:15:39.480 and the severity of it. I would agree I would be a little bit 207 00:15:39.480 --> 00:15:45.519 more concerned with Yamamoto in the way that he has pitched most recently the game 208 00:15:45.559 --> 00:15:48.679 in New York. I go back to that game at Yankee Stadium last Friday, 209 00:15:48.279 --> 00:15:52.919 seven shutout innings, he threw one hundred and six pitches. Now, 210 00:15:52.039 --> 00:15:56.799 keep in mind, he has four straight starts in which he threw over one 211 00:15:56.879 --> 00:16:00.840 hundred pitches, and he was pitching into the sixth than seventh inning, and 212 00:16:00.879 --> 00:16:03.720 all four of those starts, and he goes two and one with a no 213 00:16:03.879 --> 00:16:07.919 decision. In the last one against the Yankees, he was fantastic. Seven 214 00:16:08.039 --> 00:16:14.320 punchouts, scattered two hits, threw one hundred and six pitches. He had 215 00:16:14.360 --> 00:16:18.600 his rest days extended to a full week in between that start. A Yankee 216 00:16:18.600 --> 00:16:22.639 stand him until last night, and then we find out afterwards, Yeah, 217 00:16:22.639 --> 00:16:26.759 they did it because he just didn't feel right when his schedule start was coming 218 00:16:26.799 --> 00:16:29.159 on Thursday, so they pushed him back to give him some extra rest. 219 00:16:29.679 --> 00:16:33.200 Now, from what I understand, last night, he said he was feeling 220 00:16:33.240 --> 00:16:37.240 some discomfort and then he felt better. It was gone, and then he 221 00:16:37.320 --> 00:16:41.279 felt it again last night during the second inning. Now, if that's the 222 00:16:41.360 --> 00:16:47.480 case, if it went away and came back, maybe this extended arrest will 223 00:16:47.519 --> 00:16:52.519 certainly be the cure to help that strained right rotator cuff. Let's hope. 224 00:16:52.559 --> 00:16:56.480 So you never want to root for anything worse. I mean, come on, 225 00:16:56.320 --> 00:17:00.639 you don't want that. And certainly Dodger fans are a hope that this 226 00:17:00.799 --> 00:17:03.039 is just the case that you need some rest and get him back, you 227 00:17:03.119 --> 00:17:07.920 know my words, post All Star break, because looking at the schedule a 228 00:17:08.039 --> 00:17:11.559 month away is the All Star break? If he's gonna not throw a baseball 229 00:17:11.599 --> 00:17:14.920 for a few weeks, a few weeks to me is two to three weeks 230 00:17:15.000 --> 00:17:17.920 not throwing a baseball. Is he gonna be ready to come back right away 231 00:17:18.039 --> 00:17:21.400 and pitch a week before the All Star break? No, So realistically, 232 00:17:21.480 --> 00:17:26.160 we're looking at post All Star break at the soonest for Yoshinobu Yama Modo to 233 00:17:26.200 --> 00:17:29.960 come back. In my opinion, based on the schedule in front of us 234 00:17:30.200 --> 00:17:33.720 and the way it lays out. With that being said, we knew these 235 00:17:33.720 --> 00:17:37.240 starting pitchers were gonna have to get rests and then the game in which baseball 236 00:17:37.319 --> 00:17:40.079 is now in twenty twenty four and looking at numbers, and you divide the 237 00:17:40.200 --> 00:17:42.160 numbers by how many starts, and you get to a certain amount of innings. 238 00:17:42.599 --> 00:17:45.960 It's all math, it's all done. It's not just hey, every 239 00:17:45.039 --> 00:17:48.440 five days, let's see how long you can go. Chuck it, throw 240 00:17:48.519 --> 00:17:51.079 it, and in five days we'll see how your arm feels. There's a 241 00:17:51.119 --> 00:17:53.559 little bit more strategy to that. Look at how many innings we project, 242 00:17:53.880 --> 00:17:56.440 how many starts, let's divide that, let's get to how many innings we 243 00:17:56.559 --> 00:18:00.680 think. There's workload, there's taxiing innings, all all of that combined. 244 00:18:00.680 --> 00:18:04.000 It's all factored in, right, the human eye and the numbers. And 245 00:18:04.160 --> 00:18:07.680 with that being said, maybe this break will be a good thing for him 246 00:18:07.960 --> 00:18:11.799 to reset post All Star break, get ready for the second half of the 247 00:18:11.880 --> 00:18:15.079 season, because he was really good up until last night, in which he 248 00:18:15.079 --> 00:18:18.759 had to shut it down. Look at his last four starts, seven shutout 249 00:18:18.759 --> 00:18:22.920 innings against the Yankees, no decision, six innings, one run, seven 250 00:18:23.039 --> 00:18:26.640 hits in a win against the Rockies. Before that, he got touched up 251 00:18:26.680 --> 00:18:30.519 in Cincinnati, but that was an awful series against the Reds before that, 252 00:18:30.920 --> 00:18:36.200 pitched into the seventh inning, eight strikeouts and got a win against the Arizona 253 00:18:36.240 --> 00:18:41.480 Diamondbacks. So again, you hope for the best. You hope this is 254 00:18:41.519 --> 00:18:45.640 a short term. Just get rest, get right, get the inflammation out 255 00:18:45.799 --> 00:18:49.200 of that strain right rotator cuff, and he can come back here after the 256 00:18:49.279 --> 00:18:52.519 All Star break. Again, those are my words post All Star break, 257 00:18:52.759 --> 00:18:56.279 because somebody tweeted at me, well, how do you know the timeline? 258 00:18:56.440 --> 00:18:59.920 I'm just looking at the calendar. So June sixteenth, when they say they're 259 00:19:00.000 --> 00:19:02.680 shutting him down for a few weeks, he won't throw baseball. We're now 260 00:19:02.759 --> 00:19:06.359 into July. The All Star breaks mid July. You're not gonna just bring 261 00:19:06.440 --> 00:19:07.640 a guy back who hasn't thrown a baseball in a few weeks. Got to 262 00:19:07.720 --> 00:19:11.319 rap him back up. It's got to get a rehab assignment or two underneath 263 00:19:11.359 --> 00:19:15.880 his belt, a couple of SIM games and do the math. That's a 264 00:19:15.960 --> 00:19:18.640 month away, So post All Star break is what you're looking as for is 265 00:19:18.680 --> 00:19:26.079 yos Yoshanobu Yabamodo at the earliest, in my opinion, Mookie Betts again, 266 00:19:26.359 --> 00:19:30.880 Colin ye great at looking this up here. Fourteen games missed by Manny Machado 267 00:19:30.920 --> 00:19:33.279 a year ago. He had a small fracture in his left hand when he 268 00:19:33.359 --> 00:19:37.480 was hit by a pitch on May fifteenth. He was back on June second. 269 00:19:37.680 --> 00:19:41.920 He missed fourteen games. To me, that's something you can look at 270 00:19:41.000 --> 00:19:45.839 as an example for Mookie Best. Every injury is different. I understand that. 271 00:19:47.200 --> 00:19:49.960 I get everybody heals different. Every injury where it happens is different, 272 00:19:51.119 --> 00:19:55.640 and so that can change the timeline. I understand that, okay, But 273 00:19:55.759 --> 00:19:59.400 if we're just trying to find an example of what a similar injury and the 274 00:19:59.519 --> 00:20:04.400 timetable for somebody that went through it, there is one many Machado just a 275 00:20:04.519 --> 00:20:08.680 year ago eight sixty six, nine, seven seventy, Ish, Ish was 276 00:20:08.720 --> 00:20:11.720 that the game today? Hopefully you got one of those cool hats that all 277 00:20:11.720 --> 00:20:15.359 the dad's got coming into the game today. Sold out crowd fifty two, 278 00:20:15.880 --> 00:20:18.680 seven eighty nine s on the Dodgers shut out the Royals. How you doing, 279 00:20:18.839 --> 00:20:22.200 Ish? Hey, pretty good, tim man, thanks for taking our 280 00:20:22.240 --> 00:20:25.720 call here and happy Father's it to you. Guys man. We had a 281 00:20:26.359 --> 00:20:27.599 pretty pretty awesome time over at the game. Man, it was it was 282 00:20:27.880 --> 00:20:30.359 so much fun, so much fun until you know, of course, uh 283 00:20:30.880 --> 00:20:37.359 the seventh anym so. But but you know what No, I definitely wanted 284 00:20:37.359 --> 00:20:40.319 to put it positive on it. You know, obviously your heart goes out 285 00:20:40.359 --> 00:20:42.599 to Mookie. You know, he has been working hard this this season, 286 00:20:42.680 --> 00:20:48.359 and uh, it's obviously this is something that nobody wants. But I don't 287 00:20:48.359 --> 00:20:52.119 know, I think that him as a student of the game, I have 288 00:20:52.200 --> 00:20:55.079 a feeling he's just gonna sit. He's gonna ingest as much as he can, 289 00:20:55.680 --> 00:20:59.279 you know, as far as the Dodgers system and whatnot. And I'm 290 00:20:59.359 --> 00:21:02.079 willing to put, you know, put it down that he's going to come 291 00:21:02.119 --> 00:21:06.480 back, you know, raring and ready to go. And I think we're 292 00:21:06.599 --> 00:21:08.440 we ain't seen nothing, you know what I mean. That's that's kind of 293 00:21:08.480 --> 00:21:11.960 what I feel. But anyways, I just wanted to check in with you 294 00:21:12.039 --> 00:21:15.440 guys see how it's going. Happy Father's Day to my father as well. 295 00:21:15.519 --> 00:21:18.680 Happy Father's Day, Dad. We love you, man, And it's going 296 00:21:18.759 --> 00:21:22.279 to be upward and upward and onward, you guys, no doubt. I 297 00:21:22.319 --> 00:21:26.480 just appreciate the phone call. Mookie Bett made the move to shortstop during spring 298 00:21:26.599 --> 00:21:30.200 training, and David Veasse has alluded to this and talked about it a lot. 299 00:21:30.400 --> 00:21:34.119 Rick Monday's chimed in and talked about it as well, having move positions 300 00:21:34.319 --> 00:21:37.599 when he was a professional player for so many years. It's not an easy 301 00:21:37.640 --> 00:21:42.039 thing. And to move to shortstop is downright hard to do. And to 302 00:21:42.200 --> 00:21:47.440 look at what he has done in seventy two games coming into this game, 303 00:21:47.519 --> 00:21:52.839 seventy three today, almost three hundred at bats, and the tax that it 304 00:21:52.920 --> 00:21:56.920 takes on your body to play shortstop and to learn the shortstop position on the 305 00:21:57.079 --> 00:22:02.359 fly this season, and all the amount of ground balls that he takes every 306 00:22:02.440 --> 00:22:06.240 day. And I was here before the gates open to the stadium and saw 307 00:22:06.400 --> 00:22:11.200 Mooki going through it with Dino Ebol and Miguel Rojas at shortstop daily. David's 308 00:22:11.240 --> 00:22:15.400 mentions daily he's at Dodger Stadium and taking ground ball after ground ball after ground 309 00:22:15.480 --> 00:22:22.599 ball, and practicing and bettering his craft at shortstop. This injury. Now, 310 00:22:22.880 --> 00:22:26.240 you don't want to see anybody get hurt, understand me. You don't 311 00:22:26.240 --> 00:22:32.160 want to see anybody get hurt, but mentally and physically outside of the now 312 00:22:32.240 --> 00:22:34.519 fractured of the wrist which needs to heal, but every other part of his 313 00:22:34.720 --> 00:22:41.559 body. This is a chance for him to exhale and to physically get right. 314 00:22:41.680 --> 00:22:45.400 If he wasn't one hundred percent. Now he can get back to one 315 00:22:45.480 --> 00:22:48.240 hundred percent if he was feeling tired, and he would never admit this, 316 00:22:48.119 --> 00:22:52.359 even mentioned last week with David Devas say that he feels better than he ever 317 00:22:52.440 --> 00:22:55.039 has. Okay, that's great. What else is he gonna say? But 318 00:22:55.319 --> 00:22:59.839 for Mookie, this is a chance to throttle down during the season. Ll 319 00:23:00.279 --> 00:23:07.599 get that hand right, mentally, get right with the daily grind of seventy 320 00:23:07.720 --> 00:23:11.759 three straight games, learning to position at shortstop. You can step back from 321 00:23:11.799 --> 00:23:18.000 the situation, exhale a little bit, mentally, reset, physically, reset 322 00:23:18.799 --> 00:23:22.519 for the second half of the season. Because again, I'm gonna look at 323 00:23:22.559 --> 00:23:26.839 this timeline here of Manny Machado missing fourteen games two and a half weeks last 324 00:23:26.880 --> 00:23:30.519 year with a fraction in his left hand, and I'm looking Mookie Betts two 325 00:23:30.599 --> 00:23:33.559 weeks, two and a half weeks. What does that look like right before 326 00:23:33.599 --> 00:23:36.720 the All Star break? Do you bring him back or do you give him 327 00:23:36.720 --> 00:23:40.640 an extra what seven days of rest with the All Star break to get right 328 00:23:40.920 --> 00:23:44.960 for this second half of the season. My opinion, just like Yamamoto, 329 00:23:45.400 --> 00:23:48.799 my opinion, if he's even ready to come back pre All Star break, 330 00:23:49.400 --> 00:23:52.759 I'm holding him back until after, just to make sure it is right. 331 00:23:52.839 --> 00:23:56.720 Now again, we'll find out more on the timetable. We just don't know 332 00:23:56.839 --> 00:23:59.480 yet. But if we're gonna go off of Manny Machado's injury a year ago 333 00:23:59.519 --> 00:24:02.440 in the same thing, that he could be back in a couple weeks. 334 00:24:02.480 --> 00:24:04.319 But again, every injury is different. Kind of preface this by saying that 335 00:24:04.799 --> 00:24:10.119 every injury is different, everybody heals different. Certainly eight six six nine eighty 336 00:24:10.119 --> 00:24:11.440 seven two five seventy. Do we want to take a quick time out, 337 00:24:11.519 --> 00:24:15.079 Colin, Let's do it eight six six nine eighty seven two five seventy on 338 00:24:15.160 --> 00:24:18.119 a line open. We'll come back. Get to your phone calls. Dodgers 339 00:24:18.160 --> 00:24:22.359 win the game, they win the series, but they lose Mookie Betts fractured 340 00:24:22.440 --> 00:24:26.920 left hand after getting hit by a fastball into seventh Inny. Yoshinobu Yamamoto officially 341 00:24:27.039 --> 00:24:32.000 on the injured list as well. He's got a strained rotator cuff in his 342 00:24:32.160 --> 00:24:34.400 right shoulder. He is being shut down for a few weeks, will not 343 00:24:34.519 --> 00:24:38.920 throw a baseball. So a solemn day for the Dodgers injury wise, but 344 00:24:40.359 --> 00:24:42.000 they get the win over the Royals. They improved to forty four and twenty 345 00:24:42.119 --> 00:24:45.799 nine, and they pick up a game in the division. Now eight up 346 00:24:45.200 --> 00:24:48.160 over the Padres in the NL West.

They're off to Colorado for a four game series against 366 00:26:21.079 --> 00:26:25.400 the Rockos Rockies at beginning tomorrow. All right, so let's go out to 367 00:26:26.359 --> 00:26:29.400 Let's go out to kenon Newport Beaches. Next up here on Dodger Talk, 368 00:26:29.440 --> 00:26:36.400 can how you doing? Hey, Tim? Heavy Father's Day and good winn 369 00:26:37.039 --> 00:26:40.519 bad break for Mookie bet I have a question for you. As a former 370 00:26:40.640 --> 00:26:44.160 catcher, you know that shortstop is an area where you get a lot of 371 00:26:44.200 --> 00:26:47.759 line drives, a lot of hard ground balls. Do you think when Mooki 372 00:26:47.880 --> 00:26:51.799 comes back, just to make sure it does the honor recurrence of the injury, 373 00:26:52.160 --> 00:26:56.119 they'll put them out in the outfield and make it easier for him where 374 00:26:56.119 --> 00:27:00.960 he's only getting two or three balls to night. Possibly, Man, it's 375 00:27:00.000 --> 00:27:03.759 the left hand, so it's the glove hand, so it's not like it's 376 00:27:03.799 --> 00:27:08.319 the throwing hand and it's gonna be exposed out there and shortstop maybe. I 377 00:27:08.359 --> 00:27:11.319 mean, I think it depends on how he's feeling and what he wants to 378 00:27:11.400 --> 00:27:15.359 do. He'll be the one making the decision. I believe when he does 379 00:27:15.480 --> 00:27:18.440 come back. So I don't know. I think they can waive this, 380 00:27:18.759 --> 00:27:22.960 get through this, this injury bug here. I think ken they can get 381 00:27:22.039 --> 00:27:26.920 through it. The Yamamoto injury, as the caller alluded to earlier, that's 382 00:27:26.960 --> 00:27:30.480 the one that scares me more. How about you, Well, here's my 383 00:27:30.079 --> 00:27:36.079 question about Yammoto. Japanese baseball. The ball was smaller, and when he 384 00:27:36.240 --> 00:27:41.000 was in Japan, he would pitch every sixth day, and I don't think 385 00:27:41.079 --> 00:27:45.640 he was throwing the ball as hard as he is the last couple of games. 386 00:27:45.680 --> 00:27:48.000 And you got to remember, he's only what five eight, one hundred 387 00:27:48.000 --> 00:27:53.319 and sixty five pounds, and I always wondered how he could sustain that with 388 00:27:53.440 --> 00:27:57.880 a larger ball in the major leagues. So that's such a little concern of 389 00:27:59.039 --> 00:28:02.759 mine. But it's been really, really good and I hope it doesn't change 390 00:28:02.799 --> 00:28:04.960 it, but it's just a thought. Yeah, we'll find out kan great 391 00:28:06.000 --> 00:28:07.880 to hear from you. We'll check in with you in a couple of days, 392 00:28:07.920 --> 00:28:12.039 but certainly yeah, fingers crossed and the rest will help out this strained 393 00:28:12.160 --> 00:28:18.640 rotator rotator cuff for Yoshidobu Yamamoto and some reaction on Twitter, and I appreciate 394 00:28:18.720 --> 00:28:22.839 bartleyy weighing in on Twitter about the injuries. Again, not a doctor, 395 00:28:22.960 --> 00:28:25.960 just using the Manny Machado injury. And again, every injury is different. 396 00:28:26.799 --> 00:28:30.559 Fractures, a fracture and non displaced fracture is different. I get all that 397 00:28:30.880 --> 00:28:36.039 versus a full fracture, but last year it was two and a half weeks 398 00:28:36.079 --> 00:28:38.519 fourteen games from Manny Machado. If the injury is similar, again, everybody 399 00:28:38.599 --> 00:28:42.720 heals differently. Every injury is different. We'll find out if it's four to 400 00:28:42.839 --> 00:28:45.680 six weeks, who knows, We'll find out if a cast is needed. 401 00:28:45.880 --> 00:28:51.519 I don't know. We'll find out more from the specialists tomorrow that Mookie Bets 402 00:28:51.559 --> 00:28:53.920 will see, but certainly not good news when he's in pain. As tough 403 00:28:53.920 --> 00:28:56.759 as Mookie bets Is to see him riving in pain on the ground. You 404 00:28:56.920 --> 00:28:59.960 know it hurts, You know he's in pain. You know it's something. 405 00:29:00.079 --> 00:29:03.039 And we found out it was a fracture in his left hand and it'll be 406 00:29:03.200 --> 00:29:07.720 re examined tomorrow. Yoshioba Yamamoto strain right rotator cuff. He has been shut 407 00:29:07.799 --> 00:29:10.880 down for a few weeks, will not throw baseball for the next couple of 408 00:29:10.960 --> 00:29:14.400 weeks. According to Dave Roberts, Dodgers with the win now head to Colorado. 409 00:29:14.720 --> 00:29:17.599 They got baseball to play. They can't just stop the season and wait 410 00:29:17.640 --> 00:29:21.839 for Yamamoto to come back and wait for rookie Betts to get healthy and that 411 00:29:22.079 --> 00:29:25.400 that bondy heel. They got to keep playing baseball. And so it's off 412 00:29:25.480 --> 00:29:29.119 to Colorado for a four game series. Raoul and Fontana is next up here 413 00:29:29.200 --> 00:29:30.480 on Dodger Talk. Raoul, how you doing, how your Father's day? 414 00:29:33.359 --> 00:29:36.920 Hey, Jim, thanks for taking my call. Yeah, I was fortunate 415 00:29:37.039 --> 00:29:40.079 enough to be at the game today. It was a great game. Yeah, 416 00:29:41.119 --> 00:29:44.720 unfortunately with the injury with Mooki and I'll touch on that in the second. 417 00:29:45.359 --> 00:29:48.759 My hat's off to Tyler Glasstow for great performance after that first and second 418 00:29:48.799 --> 00:29:52.440 inning, and I knew he was gonna at least strike out seven, and 419 00:29:52.519 --> 00:29:55.960 he walked off with nine strikeouts. And it was great that he was able 420 00:29:56.039 --> 00:29:59.880 to give the pool pants on some rest, especially coming up on that four 421 00:30:00.039 --> 00:30:03.200 game series in Colorado, and just wanted to touch on, you know, 422 00:30:03.279 --> 00:30:06.759 Mookie, the fans I might be upset or you know, you know, 423 00:30:06.839 --> 00:30:10.680 pumped out because you know, they think that maybe the Casey pitcher might have 424 00:30:10.720 --> 00:30:14.559 done it on purpose. It is baseball, Unfortunately, things like that aren't 425 00:30:14.559 --> 00:30:17.480 going to happen. But I don't see it. I don't think that the 426 00:30:17.599 --> 00:30:21.119 Kasey pitcher did it on purpose. I kind of feel like, with you 427 00:30:21.200 --> 00:30:25.920 know, him having to two runners on and knowing that uhs on Dick, 428 00:30:25.960 --> 00:30:29.640 I don't think he wants to face show hey with with you know, the 429 00:30:29.680 --> 00:30:32.920 basis noted coming up, you know, so, and you know, Casey's 430 00:30:32.960 --> 00:30:34.559 in the middle of, you know, of a race too. They're five 431 00:30:34.599 --> 00:30:37.920 behind Cleveland right now in the Al Central, so you know, they you 432 00:30:37.960 --> 00:30:41.519 know, they were eager to win win the ball game as well, so 433 00:30:41.119 --> 00:30:45.079 you know, but it went in our favor, and uh that's all I 434 00:30:45.119 --> 00:30:48.119 gotta say for now. Taking my call. No, absolutely I appreciate the 435 00:30:48.160 --> 00:30:52.839 phone call, Rabel. Yeah, certainly it was not intentional from Dan Altavilla, 436 00:30:52.960 --> 00:30:56.519 the right hander for the Kansas City Royals. It was a ninety eight 437 00:30:56.559 --> 00:31:02.880 mile an hour fastball in on the hands. It gets Mookie on the hands. 438 00:31:02.960 --> 00:31:06.039 Mookie, you heard his post game comerdence say that the guy's got a 439 00:31:06.079 --> 00:31:08.799 wipeout slider. He throws hard inside and then he gets you with to try 440 00:31:08.839 --> 00:31:12.200 to chase on the slider. So he was in on it and didn't want 441 00:31:12.200 --> 00:31:15.359 to duck out of the way, and you can't be scared to play it. 442 00:31:15.359 --> 00:31:18.519 All this stuff that you hear from hitters, you heard from Mookie Bets 443 00:31:18.559 --> 00:31:21.279 post game. So it wasn't intentional. I don't believe it was a no 444 00:31:21.400 --> 00:31:26.480 Dodger Fans booed the right hander Altavilla as he came off the field serly and 445 00:31:26.720 --> 00:31:30.440 uh not happy with what they did to Mookie Betts and hitting him on the 446 00:31:30.519 --> 00:31:33.440 hand there. But I don't think it was intentional at all. Eight sixty 447 00:31:33.440 --> 00:31:37.039 six, nine eighty seven two five seven. Let's wrap things up with Marcos 448 00:31:37.160 --> 00:31:40.559 and ben Rovi's gonna be our final call here on this Father's Day Dodger talk. 449 00:31:40.599 --> 00:31:44.359 How you doing Marco's I'm good, Happy Father's Day. I appreciate it. 450 00:31:44.599 --> 00:31:47.640 H I was watching the game, and uh, I kind of fell 451 00:31:47.680 --> 00:31:49.920 asleep. But before I fell asleep, I saw Sohio Turney hit the home 452 00:31:51.039 --> 00:31:55.000 run. And the one stat that kind of stuck with me when I woke 453 00:31:55.119 --> 00:32:00.680 up was Mookie Betts hadn't had a day off and you know, God forbid 454 00:32:00.759 --> 00:32:02.039 that he got hurt today, and he did get hurt, and uh, 455 00:32:02.599 --> 00:32:07.759 I was just wondering if since he's an awesome batter and he's like our you 456 00:32:07.799 --> 00:32:10.160 know, our leadoff spot, but we have, we can give him like 457 00:32:10.200 --> 00:32:14.599 a day off like once a month or something, right, I mean to 458 00:32:14.759 --> 00:32:17.160 kind of give him a little break because I mean he's getting a break forcefully 459 00:32:17.240 --> 00:32:21.920 because of his injury, which is a bumber. I wish I could switch 460 00:32:22.039 --> 00:32:25.519 risks with him, but unfortunately these things happened. I don't think it was 461 00:32:25.960 --> 00:32:31.240 intentional at all. It's part of the game. And uh, as far 462 00:32:31.319 --> 00:32:37.160 as I can't pronoun the day, I'm sorry. Other pitcher that got hurt. 463 00:32:37.440 --> 00:32:44.359 Yeah, him getting hurt. I think, like a previous color I'd 464 00:32:44.400 --> 00:32:47.200 mentioned is the ball is different because I used to play Japanese baseball. It's 465 00:32:47.240 --> 00:32:52.559 like a batting cage ball. It's like softer and the balls take a little 466 00:32:52.599 --> 00:32:54.960 bit of backspin. That's why the hitters are so good coming from there, 467 00:32:55.039 --> 00:32:59.240 because it teaches you how to just go with the pitch. But as far 468 00:32:59.319 --> 00:33:01.200 as his shoulder, I think because the ball is a little bit heavier, 469 00:33:02.400 --> 00:33:07.039 that's the only thing. But he's an awesome, phenomenal, lights out type 470 00:33:07.039 --> 00:33:08.720 of picture, and uh, I think this is just gonna make him better. 471 00:33:08.839 --> 00:33:15.200 I mean, uh, we had similar injuries to uh uh Man, 472 00:33:15.240 --> 00:33:17.720 I can't think of his name of Bobby Miller, right, and uh yeah, 473 00:33:17.759 --> 00:33:23.559 and even even uh Buehler coming back. So it's not a it's not 474 00:33:23.960 --> 00:33:27.680 it's not something to to. I mean, it's it's a concern, but 475 00:33:27.799 --> 00:33:30.400 I think he's gonna come back stronger, and uh, you know, we 476 00:33:30.519 --> 00:33:35.440 have a good bullpen that's actually kind of been holding us up, and we're 477 00:33:35.440 --> 00:33:37.480 gonna get a lot of guys back, So you know, Joe Kelly looks 478 00:33:37.559 --> 00:33:42.799 he's gonna be coming in soon as early as uh July seventh. It looks 479 00:33:42.920 --> 00:33:45.079 like so you know, just hanging their Dodger fans. We're gonna be all 480 00:33:45.200 --> 00:33:49.839 right, no doubt about it. Appreciate the phone call. Thanks for checking 481 00:33:49.880 --> 00:33:52.440 in, Marcos. Yeah, if you could switch risks with them, that's 482 00:33:52.759 --> 00:33:57.920 it's amazing that you would give up your wrist to give the Mookie best uh 483 00:33:58.079 --> 00:34:00.440 to play immediately. But he'll be okay, he'll heal, he'll get better. 484 00:34:00.720 --> 00:34:04.599 How long will he be out We'll find out, I assume tomorrow, 485 00:34:04.640 --> 00:34:07.240 in the next couple of days, he's going to see a hand specialist here 486 00:34:07.319 --> 00:34:12.519 in La tomorrow, probably the same hand doctor David Vassay saw when David Vassa 487 00:34:13.039 --> 00:34:17.840 had to have surgery on his wrist after smashing into the wall at the slide 488 00:34:19.000 --> 00:34:22.519 at Miller Park. So David veasse can certainly weigh in on that. I 489 00:34:22.559 --> 00:34:24.960 thought I totally forgot about David Vassa's injury. I don't think it was to 490 00:34:25.079 --> 00:34:30.320 the hand, more so the risk for David vess But certainly David Vessie had 491 00:34:30.320 --> 00:34:32.559 to see the hand specialist, maybe just the same hand specialist that Mookie Betch 492 00:34:32.599 --> 00:34:36.440 has seen. Tomorrow, we'll find out in the next couple of days. 493 00:34:36.440 --> 00:34:39.000 Certainly, Dodgers heading to Colorado to take on the Rockies. That's gonna do 494 00:34:39.039 --> 00:34:42.880 it for postgame dodge talk. Many thanks to Colin. Ye many thanks to 495 00:34:42.920 --> 00:34:45.280 you for being a part of the show here on this Father's Day again, 496 00:34:45.440 --> 00:34:47.559 Happy Father's Day to my dad.
