Speaker 1: Dodger Talk is sponsored by LA Care Health Plan, providing
Speaker 1: affordable healthcare insurance to millions of Angelinos for over twenty
Speaker 1: five years. And now your voice for Dodger Talk. Like back,
Speaker 1: Damn Kates.
Speaker 2: Dodgers come back and get the win, a much needed
Speaker 2: victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates as they get the sweep
Speaker 2: and they pick up a game in the division. Hi, everybody,
Speaker 2: Welcome to postgame Dodger Talk here on AM five to seventy,
Speaker 2: LA Sports Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Tim Kates
Speaker 2: with you here until the top of the hour. Phone
Speaker 2: lines are wide open. Eight six six nine eighty seven
Speaker 2: two five seventy If you were at the game today
Speaker 2: at Dodgers Stadium and you'll want to talk about it
Speaker 2: eight six six nine eighty seven two five seventy fifty
Speaker 2: three hundred and eighty nine in attendance for Matt Kemp
Speaker 2: bobblehead Day. It was Matt Kemp Day overall at the
Speaker 2: Ravine as he signs his one day contract retire officially
Speaker 2: from the game of baseball, where he belongs in a
Speaker 2: Dodger uniform. Matt Kemp ten seasons wearing Dodger blue spent
Speaker 2: some time in San Diego, of course, with Atlanta, brief
Speaker 2: time in Cincinnati and Colorado, but he'll forever be a
Speaker 2: Dodger for what he did from two thousand and six
Speaker 2: through two thousand and fourteen, and then again in twenty
Speaker 2: and eighteen late in his career when he was an
Speaker 2: All Star at the age of thirty three. Matt Kemp
Speaker 2: day out of Dodger State. We'll hear from Matt his
Speaker 2: comment at the ceremony coming up later on here in
Speaker 2: Dodger Top, but I want to hear from you at
Speaker 2: eight sixty six, nine eighty seven, two five seventy.
Speaker 3: A lot to digest from this one.
Speaker 2: I think Dave Roberts and his postgame press conference kind
Speaker 2: of summed it up nicely, and I'm gonna paraphrase what
Speaker 2: he said here.
Speaker 3: It's nice to get the win.
Speaker 2: It's hard to get victories in baseball, but certainly they
Speaker 2: have a lot to work on after today's win. And
Speaker 2: he's absolutely right. The Dodgers jumped out to a two
Speaker 2: to nothing lead. Dodgers went up four to nothing after
Speaker 2: two innings, and Tyler Glass now was pitching fantastic a
Speaker 2: one two three first a one two three second, got
Speaker 2: into trouble with two out to the third, given up
Speaker 2: a two run home run to Andrew McCutcheon, but that
Speaker 2: was it. Battled in the fourth, battled out of a
Speaker 2: base runner in the fifth, the sixth inning, walked around,
Speaker 2: worked around a two out walk. The seventh inning a
Speaker 2: leadoff double, but then he was able to get a
Speaker 2: couple of ground ball outs and a strikeout to end
Speaker 2: the inning.
Speaker 3: He was at sixty six pitches through five innings. Very efficient.
Speaker 2: He threw a total of ninety eight pitches over seven innings,
Speaker 2: two runs, five hits, four strikeouts, one walk, and the
Speaker 2: Dodgers gave the ball to the bullpen for the final
Speaker 2: two innings, the final six outs, and they couldn't hang
Speaker 2: on to a four to two lead. The Dodgers were
Speaker 2: down five to four after the top of the tenth inning,
Speaker 2: in which Brian Reynolds hit an RBI single to bloop
Speaker 2: one into left field and give the Pirates their first
Speaker 2: lead of the game. But momentum swung back the Dodgers' way,
Speaker 2: and it started with keyk Hernandez RBI double tying it
Speaker 2: and then two Oscar Hernandez with an absolutely brilliant piece
Speaker 2: of hitting. What Taoscar Hernandez has meant to this Dodgers team,
Speaker 2: I don't think.
Speaker 3: You can put a price on it right now.
Speaker 2: We talk about the amount of money that was spent
Speaker 2: in free agency across baseball this past offseason, and certainly
Speaker 2: the Dodgers were right there at the top. Sho hey O,
Speaker 2: Tani Yoshinobu Yamamoto, the two signings we all know about
Speaker 2: and what kind of money they were given. Tascar Hernandez
Speaker 2: signed a one year deal basically for the qualifying offer
Speaker 2: twenty twenty one million dollars. Taoscar Hernandez is not a rookie.
Speaker 2: Taoscar Hernandez is not a guy who hasn't been in
Speaker 2: the league and been a productive player.
Speaker 3: He has been.
Speaker 2: He's just been in Toronto and Seattle. Comes to LA
Speaker 2: on a one year deal, where he reportedly had other
Speaker 2: spots that had multi two three year deals. Signs with
Speaker 2: the Dodgers on a one year deal bets on himself
Speaker 2: that he is going to be productive and a lineup
Speaker 2: with superstars, in a lineup where he may be hitting fifth, sixth, seventh,
Speaker 2: but playing the outfield in one of the corner spots,
Speaker 2: and what ta Oscar Hernandez has done has been unbelievable.
Speaker 2: And then you throw on what he did at the
Speaker 2: All Star Game with the home run derby and the
Speaker 2: July in August that he is now having taking his
Speaker 2: offensive production to the next level. Tao's hitting two seventy
Speaker 2: five on this season, but Tascar Hernandez in the month
Speaker 2: of July, in the month of August has absolutely exploded.
Speaker 2: In the month of July, he hit three to ozho
Speaker 2: one with fourteen home runs and drove in with four
Speaker 2: home runs in fourteen RBIs in August so far hitting
Speaker 2: four thirty eight with four home runs, and now what
Speaker 2: nine RBIs on this season? Ten RBIs in the month.
Speaker 2: His offensive production has absolutely helped this Dodgers team when
Speaker 2: others have been hurt and when others have struggled to
Speaker 2: walk off hits for the Dodgers this season alone, what
Speaker 2: his bad is meant as far as the home runs
Speaker 2: extending innings, ta Oskar Hernandez, you can make a case
Speaker 2: has been one of the most valuable players on this
Speaker 2: Dodgers team. Rookie Betts goes down, Taskar Hernandez moves up
Speaker 2: in the lineup Max Muntz. He's been out, Tiascar Hernandez
Speaker 2: moved up in the lineup, Taoscar's asked to play right,
Speaker 2: Okays asked to play left. All right, Taskar's has to
Speaker 2: hit third, sure, ta Oscar's has to hit fourth.
Speaker 3: No problem.
Speaker 2: He has done everything they've asked him to do, and
Speaker 2: he's been successful at doing it. He has been great
Speaker 2: for this Dodgers team and the production that he has
Speaker 2: produced for the Dodgers on this six game homestand alone
Speaker 2: four hundred average ten for twenty five, three home runs,
Speaker 2: four doubles, eight ribbis and scored eight runs. That was
Speaker 2: in the last six games against the Phillies and the
Speaker 2: Pirates of four hundred average, three home runs, four doubles.
Speaker 3: Eight ribbies, eight runs.
Speaker 2: He has been great and he gets the walk off
Speaker 2: RBI single today.
Speaker 3: Now, as Dave Roberts.
Speaker 2: Alluded to, you win the game, you celebrate that, you're
Speaker 2: happy for the fact that you picked up a game
Speaker 2: on the Padres in the standings, and you're now three
Speaker 2: and a half games up on both the Padres and
Speaker 2: the Diamondbacks in the division.
Speaker 3: But I think Dave Roberts is absolutely right.
Speaker 2: This shouldn't have been as close, and some things weren't
Speaker 2: very good for the Dodgers today, including the bullpen letting
Speaker 2: it get away in the eighth inning, a bullpen that
Speaker 2: yesterday was asked to get what almost five innings of
Speaker 2: relief combined, and they get the win today. Tyler Glass
Speaker 2: now goes seven innings for the ninth time this year
Speaker 2: he has pitched at least seven innings. He hands it
Speaker 2: all over to the bullpen for the final six out
Speaker 2: and the bullpen gives it up. Then there's the production
Speaker 2: from sho Hey Otani. And as much as I love
Speaker 2: show Hey and what he's done, show Hey today had
Speaker 2: four opportunities to bust open this game for the Dodgers.
Speaker 2: He had an opportunity the tenth inning to walk it
Speaker 2: off for the Dodgers. He goes one for six today
Speaker 2: with a triple, his fifth of the season. His triple,
Speaker 2: by the way, he got stranded at third, nobody could
Speaker 2: drive him. In the second inning, Otani comes up one out,
Speaker 2: runners on second and third, Unable to produce for the Dodgers.
Speaker 2: Fourth inning, he comes up runners in scoring position less
Speaker 2: than two outs.
Speaker 3: Couldn't get it done.
Speaker 2: The eighth inning comes up and pops out with runners
Speaker 2: in scoring position, comes up in the tenth inning with
Speaker 2: a chance to win the game after Key k Hernandez
Speaker 2: tied it, Kei k standing at second base and Otani
Speaker 2: unable to produce in the tenth inning zero for four
Speaker 2: with runners in scoring position. Today was Showy Otani one
Speaker 2: for six. He was in the box score and the
Speaker 2: Dodgers collectively, sure they get the win. Keik has the
Speaker 2: RBI double to tie it, Tay Oscar the RBI single
Speaker 2: to win it. You take those two hits away. The
Speaker 2: Dodgers before that were three for seventeen with runners in
Speaker 2: scoring position. Again, three for seventeen with runners in scoring position.
Speaker 2: And then I'm gonna throw in some offense where the
Speaker 2: Dodgers failed to move guys over, the offense that failed
Speaker 2: to get a butt down Kevin Kiermeyer. These are little
Speaker 2: things that add it up today and almost cost the Dodgers.
Speaker 2: And that's what Dave Roberts is alluding to. Sure the
Speaker 2: win is great. Yeah, you're happy with the victory, no doubt,
Speaker 2: because they're hard to come in baseball, and you celebrate
Speaker 2: the sweep over the Pirates. Absolutely, but it feels like
Speaker 2: you're sort of putting a little bit of lipstick over
Speaker 2: what was today an ugly win. You take the win,
Speaker 2: you celebrate it, no doubt you're happy on that flight,
Speaker 2: heading out to start a seven game road trip. Little
Speaker 2: team bonding, getting Mookie Betts back, Gonna get Walker Buehler
Speaker 2: back in some form later on this road trip, right
Speaker 2: around the corner on the next homestand Tommy Edmond's gonna
Speaker 2: make his Dodgers' debut. We expect to see Max Munsey
Speaker 2: come back from his oblique injury. That's all great, but
Speaker 2: there was some There was some not so great things
Speaker 2: today from the Dodgers. The bullpen, the lack of hitting
Speaker 2: with runners in scoring position, and just finishing off this
Speaker 2: Pirates team. When you are three for seventeen in this
Speaker 2: game and you were holding a four to nothing lead
Speaker 2: and then a four to two lead, you gotta be
Speaker 2: able to put more runs on the board and start
Speaker 2: stacking up runs and separating yourself from the Pirates. Finish
Speaker 2: them off, make them walk the plank early in this game,
Speaker 2: don't give them any hope, drag them out to see
Speaker 2: and let them just fall to the bottom. That's what
Speaker 2: you need to do when you're up on a team
Speaker 2: like the Pirates or anybody up to nothing of four
Speaker 2: nothing after the second inning, and you've got chances. The
Speaker 2: Dodgers had runners on base and left them there in
Speaker 2: the fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth inning. I believe the
Speaker 2: ninth inning is the only inning they went one two
Speaker 2: three in offensively.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: No, they had a single from Lux with two outs
Speaker 2: to the ninth. Okay, so they even had a single
Speaker 2: with two outs from Gavin Lux before Rojas flied out
Speaker 2: to end that bottom half of the ninth inning. So
Speaker 2: they did have runners on virtually every inning. Finish off teams,
Speaker 2: deliver with runners in scoring position, get those big hits,
Speaker 2: put the butt down when asked to put it done
Speaker 2: instead of popping up to the cat. Sure, these little
Speaker 2: things can cost you games, and almost cost them today.

Speaker 2: single with two outs two strikes in the bottom half
Speaker 2: of the tenth inning, Dodgers win. It's six to five
Speaker 2: as they get the sweep over at Pittsburgh and they
Speaker 2: are now twenty games over five hundred again on the season,
Speaker 2: now sixty nine and forty nine and with the Padres losing,

Speaker 2: A quick injury updates. Dave Roberts, who we heard from
Speaker 2: in the Clubhouse Show, did tell reporters at the end
Speaker 2: of his media availability there an updates on River Ryan
Speaker 2: and River Ryan the Dodger right Hendrew came out with
Speaker 2: the game last night in the fifth inning with right
Speaker 2: forearm tightness. He had an MRI today had some further
Speaker 2: tests done. It is a strain of the UCL in
Speaker 2: his throwing arm. His season is done and according to
Speaker 2: Dave Roberts, surgery is a possibility, but a decision has
Speaker 2: not been made yet on exactly how they're going to proceed.
Speaker 2: So positive thoughts there for River Ryan and recovery and
Speaker 2: rehab for whatever he has done. If it's Tommy John surgery.
Speaker 2: If they elect to do a different route as far
Speaker 2: as surgery or rehab, hopefully he can get back quickly,
Speaker 2: stronger and better than where he was at. And he
Speaker 2: was having a fantastic rookie season after four starts for
Speaker 2: the Dodgers, So tough.
Speaker 3: Break for River.
Speaker 2: Ryan called up, gave the Dodgers everything they asked, pitched
Speaker 2: well in his four starts, left the game last night
Speaker 2: with the straight forum and officially now a UCL strain.
Speaker 2: Nine times out of ten that leads Tommy John on surgery,
Speaker 2: but you don't want to speculate at this point, they
Speaker 2: have not made a decision yet on how to proceed.
Speaker 2: All right, let's start with Hunter in New York. Gonna
Speaker 2: start us off here on Dodger Talk on a FI
Speaker 2: seventy high.
Speaker 3: Hunter, how are you very good?
Speaker 6: Thanks?
Speaker 7: Yeah, thanks for taking my call. I guess I have
Speaker 7: to immediately react.
Speaker 6: Ryan.
Speaker 7: That sucks. That's that's that's what we weren't hoping for,
Speaker 7: but we kind of suspected and yeah, just just a
Speaker 7: real bummer.
Speaker 5: I felt like this guy could have made a postseason roster.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no doubt.
Speaker 2: It's just another Dodger pitcher back on the injured list
Speaker 2: and down with an arm inager. They seem to be
Speaker 2: piling up this year.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's been a rough year with injuries, but you know,
Speaker 7: it feels like we're about to hit a big vibe
Speaker 7: shift with Dodgers baseball. Like we've grinded through it during
Speaker 7: the summer, but with Mookie and Munsey and Bueller coming back,
Speaker 7: I like, we're only a game back of having the
Speaker 7: best record in all of baseball, So a good chance
Speaker 7: he can have the number one overall sea despite like
Speaker 7: this brutal summer.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no doubt.
Speaker 2: I'm glad you bring that up, Hunter, I thanks for
Speaker 2: checking in long distance from New York City. Yeah, Baltimore
Speaker 2: is seventy and forty nine. The Yankees are seventy and
Speaker 2: forty nine. The Cleveland Guardians are sixty nine and forty nine.
Speaker 2: The Dodgers and Phillies are both sixty nine and forty nine.
Speaker 2: As Hunter mentioned, the Dodgers are tied in the lost
Speaker 2: column with the Orioles and Yankees, but one game back
Speaker 2: for the best overall record, they're now tied with the
Speaker 2: Phillies' why I know, owns the tiebreaker with the Dodgers,
Speaker 2: but the Dodgers now put themselves in a good position
Speaker 2: now tied with the Phillies for the best record in
Speaker 2: the National League. So you have gone through the dog
Speaker 2: days of summer, certainly, you have been through the ups
Speaker 2: and downs of the injuries. Absolutely, And Hunter's right, and
Speaker 2: we talked about this the last few weeks. The Calvary's coming.
Speaker 2: Help is on its way, pitching wise, bullpen wise, everyday
Speaker 2: player wise, it's coming. And this roster and this lineup
Speaker 2: that we talked about a few weeks ago, and wow,
Speaker 2: how does this lineup go out there? With gavil Lux
Speaker 2: was hitting clean up and you had different guys out
Speaker 2: there that you know, we're on this roster to even
Speaker 2: start the season, and that's what Dodgers were rolling out there. Well,
Speaker 2: it's gonna look a lot different once everybody gets healthy,
Speaker 2: and that's what we're starting to see. And Mookie Betts
Speaker 2: is next up coming back on this next road trip.
Speaker 2: As I mentioned, Dave Roberts eluded, Tommy Edmond and Max
Speaker 2: Munsey looking good for the next homestand when the Dodgers
Speaker 2: come back to take on Justin Turner and the Mariners.
Speaker 3: So the Dodgers'.
Speaker 2: Normal looking lineup is starting to come into form, and
Speaker 2: we're gonna see it look a little different with Tommy
Speaker 2: Edmond in there as well, playing center field for the Dodgers.
Speaker 2: What does that mean for Andy pa Has What does
Speaker 2: that mean for a guy like James Outman in his future? Yeah,
Speaker 2: you only get twenty six guys on this roster, so
Speaker 2: playing times at a premium, and we're gonna start seeing
Speaker 2: guys fighting for playing time. Chris Taylor still on the
Speaker 2: injured list, Where does he fit into the puzzle? Kicky
Speaker 2: Hernandez is not everything You've asked to play a third
Speaker 2: base and produce offensively and had some big hits the
Speaker 2: last two weeks and since the All Star break has
Speaker 2: done everything right for you. It's hard to tell a
Speaker 2: guy like that, Hey, Max Munty's back, he's playing every
Speaker 2: day at third.
Speaker 3: You're out.
Speaker 2: Miguel Rojas gonna probably play it every day. In short,
Speaker 2: maybe he and keyk are the year not your shortstops
Speaker 2: rotating there. So there's a there's gonna be a logjam here,
Speaker 2: and we keep talking about it. It's coming, it's coming.
Speaker 2: You know the guys are gonna return, and you know
Speaker 2: there's gonna be roster spots for guys and some guys
Speaker 2: are gonna be without a spot. You know, the game
Speaker 2: of musical chairs. Somebody's gonna be left out here without
Speaker 2: a roster spot. Brad and mission Viaho is next up
Speaker 2: here on Dodger Talk.
Speaker 8: Hi, Brad, thanks for taking my call.
Speaker 5: Hi.
Speaker 8: You know what the last few games Arizona's really ported
Speaker 8: on Philly. I mean they did a twelve spot to
Speaker 8: day after eleven yesterday and it helped the Dodgers ironically
Speaker 8: ty Philly.
Speaker 2: Yeah, thank you, snakes. We appreciate that while they're continuing
Speaker 2: to play well. If you can help take out some
Speaker 2: other people along the way, like the Phillies and help
Speaker 2: the Dodgers out, certainly you'll take it.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 8: Yeah, they're like six and nineteen now Philly with the
Speaker 8: Dodgers web.
Speaker 3: With two of those games being wins against the Dodgers.
Speaker 8: Certainly, right, of course, but that's what happens. Funny things happen.
Speaker 8: So I think I'll take that kind of thing before
Speaker 8: they waded into divisionally, because it's important to have the
Speaker 8: best record.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no doubt.
Speaker 2: Brad appreciate the phone call talking about all these different
Speaker 2: players that the Dodgers are getting back from injuries and
Speaker 2: They're certainly going to get the lineup every day looking
Speaker 2: like it did early in this season. With the addition
Speaker 2: to Tommy Edmonds, it's going to look a little bit
Speaker 2: different now with him in center field, and very excited
Speaker 2: to see him in a Dodger uniform, with the injurier
Speaker 2: River Ryan, with Walker Bueller coming back. You look at
Speaker 2: this Dodger rotation right now, what is it Tyler Glass now,
Speaker 2: Gavin Stone, Jack Flaherty, Clayton Kershaw, Walker Buehler is your
Speaker 2: five starter? Is it Landon Knack? You know who's been
Speaker 2: recalled going to be that six starter. Dave Roberts alluded
Speaker 2: to a six man rotation over the course of this stretch,
Speaker 2: in which the Dodgers don't have an off day until
Speaker 2: the twenty second, so we could see the six man
Speaker 2: permitted as far as the rotation with Land and Nat
Speaker 2: coming back and Walker Buehler scheduled to come back as
Speaker 2: well off the injured list. But again, I temper my
Speaker 2: feelings with Walker Buller coming back just a little bit.
Speaker 2: I know he had a good outing in his last
Speaker 2: time out in Triple Oklahoma City, but certainly the Walker
Speaker 2: Bueler we remember from twenty eighteen in Game one sixty three,
Speaker 2: and what he did against the Rockies in that game,
Speaker 2: what he's done in the postseason in twenty twenty and
Speaker 2: has certainly been really good for the Dodgers. He has
Speaker 2: battled his butt back from another arm injury, and that's
Speaker 2: tough to do, and he's come back. He's not the
Speaker 2: same Walker Buehler. We just continue to hope he turns
Speaker 2: in to maybe a different Walker Bueler and morph into
Speaker 2: something that is even bigger and better. So we'll find
Speaker 2: out he's expected to join this rotation coming up here
Speaker 2: on this road trip in this series in Milwaukee. Let's
Speaker 2: go to Daniel in Tustin is next up here on
Speaker 2: Dodge Talk after the Dodgers walk off the Pirates six
Speaker 2: to five.
Speaker 9: How you doing, Daniel, Hey, good Jim, thanks for taking
Speaker 9: my call.
Speaker 5: Bud. Yeah, Hey, I love your farm report. When you
Speaker 5: do that on day Dodger Day, Oh.
Speaker 3: I appreciate that day. That means a lot. Thank you.
Speaker 1: Hey.
Speaker 9: I just want to let you know my kids and
Speaker 9: I were going on the next road trip. We have
Speaker 9: a red eye back to Milwaukee to go see the
Speaker 9: Dodgers in Milwaukee and then we're driving down to Saint
Speaker 9: Louis and see the Dodgers and Cardinals play nice.
Speaker 3: That'll be a lot of fun.
Speaker 2: My suggestion is fine, David Masse and tell him to
Speaker 2: stay off the slide.
Speaker 5: You're totally right.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm excited.
Speaker 5: I see that Mookie BET's going to be back and everything,
Speaker 5: so we're hoping to see him.
Speaker 9: And yeah, maybe Clayton coach all pitch there in Saint
Speaker 9: Louis for us and everything, hopefully.
Speaker 3: I yeah, I.
Speaker 2: Think he'll be in to see he pitches tomorrow, so yeah,
Speaker 2: they should see him maybe Saturday Sunday, depending if they
Speaker 2: go to the six man rotation. I would I would
Speaker 2: expect to see him yet maybe this weekend in Saint Louis.
Speaker 5: If he pitches tomorrow, Yeah, I'm kind of keeping my
Speaker 5: fingers crossed for Saturday. But what a great game today, man,
Speaker 5: I'm just we're really excited about going to see the
Speaker 5: Dodgers on the road trip. We went last year to
Speaker 5: call the Ratto to watch him and I have a blast.
Speaker 3: That's a lot of fun.
Speaker 2: Fun to be able to go out and do that, Daniel,
Speaker 2: I appreciate and have a lot of fun travel safe
Speaker 2: and calling from the road.
Speaker 3: This week.
Speaker 5: All right, definitely, we'll call you after a game.
Speaker 3: All right.
Speaker 2: We expect that Daniel from Tussan's gonna give us a
Speaker 2: little road report as him and his family hit the
Speaker 2: road with the Dodgers, going to Milwaukee for four games,
Speaker 2: then off to Saint Louis. That's a lot of fun
Speaker 2: going on trips. We did that when when I was
Speaker 2: done with my family, my mom and dad always made
Speaker 2: sure we did baseball trips and whether it's major league
Speaker 2: parks or minor league parks. Through the cal League one
Speaker 2: summer with my dad, and then the course, going back
Speaker 2: east several times, seeing Fenway Parks, seeing Cooper's Town, see
Speaker 2: in New York, Philadelphia, going to different minor league spots
Speaker 2: in North Carolina, Wilmington, Delaware, doing different spots in Chicago.
Speaker 3: Of course, it's a lot of fun.
Speaker 2: It's a great thing whether you got sons or daughter,
Speaker 2: it's a great family thing to go do. And you
Speaker 2: can see cities, see the heart they have to offer,
Speaker 2: and see some exciting baseball.
Speaker 3: And you know, if you plant it right, you can
Speaker 3: plant it.
Speaker 2: Where the Dodgers are on the road and can catch
Speaker 2: a little Dodgers baseball away from Dodgers Stadium. Let's go
Speaker 2: to Andy and Lake Elison or appreciate you checking in
Speaker 2: from the nine to five to one Andy.
Speaker 3: How you doing, Hi, Kim.
Speaker 4: I want to talk about a few things that kind
Speaker 4: of got me worried. And I know we want today,
Speaker 4: but it was kind of scratched out. We should have
Speaker 4: won easily. But that being said is Mookie Bett is
Speaker 4: coming back and I think he definitely needs to go
Speaker 4: to his number one spot. And I know that Otani's
Speaker 4: going to go and stay at number one. But we
Speaker 4: played the guy seven hundred million dollars to clean house,
Speaker 4: not to be lead off and brought home. He's got
Speaker 4: to bring them all home. So I don't understand that part.
Speaker 4: And the other part is I just don't understand why
Speaker 4: pie Has is still playing.
Speaker 6: I mean, you know, what, what do you do today? Andy?
Speaker 2: Pie Has delivered today. It was on base four times,
Speaker 2: a couple of walks. Come on, I mean, come on,
Speaker 2: Todgers today, get the six to five win.
Speaker 3: Andie p Has was was.
Speaker 4: Good to run that that that that home run. Edmunds
Speaker 4: would have caught that no problem.
Speaker 2: Well, come on, come on, Andy, I appreciate that home run.
Speaker 2: That would have been a great cat. If he makes it,
Speaker 2: he goes up the gloves on top of the wall,
Speaker 2: he's got to catch that ball, and with his momentum
Speaker 2: somehow not let his glove hit the top of the wall,
Speaker 2: which it did, and the ball came out. I mean
Speaker 2: that's a tough catch anywhere anybody, and he couldn't come
Speaker 2: down with it. It goes out for a home run.
Speaker 2: Oh well, Andy pi haz though today? What did he
Speaker 2: go two for three on base A couple more times
Speaker 2: with two walks? Andy Pott has today did what he
Speaker 2: needed to do in right field. Now is he gonna
Speaker 2: play every day? Moving forward?
Speaker 3: Again?
Speaker 2: Number crunch. Some of these guys may not have his
Speaker 2: spots once Tommy Edmond gets there, I e. Andy pa
Speaker 2: has if he's not producing. You look around that clubhouse
Speaker 2: and you only get twenty six lockers, and you look
Speaker 2: around the outfield, you only get so many outfield spots,
Speaker 2: and you gotta start wondering who's the odd man out
Speaker 2: when Tommy Edmond comes back on that homestand it's not
Speaker 2: Jason Hayward. It's not to Askar Hernandez who's it gonna be.
Speaker 2: It's not gonna beat Kevin Kiermaier. They didn't trade for
Speaker 2: him in his final season, finally acquiring him.
Speaker 3: To give him up.
Speaker 2: So again, guys, whether they're producing here recently or haven't
Speaker 2: done it lately, maybe without a job, a spot on
Speaker 2: the roster and sent to Triple A if they're not
Speaker 2: on this team when the next homestand comes, when Tommy
Speaker 2: Edmand comes back and Max Munsey comes back. So again,
Speaker 2: I say it several times. We've been talking about it
Speaker 2: for several weeks. They're still gonna get to a point
Speaker 2: here where they only got twenty six spots and they
Speaker 2: got more players in spots, so they're gonna have to
Speaker 2: start making some decisions. And it's affecting the rotation, the
Speaker 2: bullpen and the everyday players. And if you're the Dodgers,
Speaker 2: this is not a bad problem to have at all.
Speaker 2: And some of these players you've asked to step up
Speaker 2: and play every day while the enj have bitten you.
Speaker 2: You know, we we thank you for your service, we
Speaker 2: thank you for your opportunity, but they may not be here. Nick,
Speaker 2: I'm ed I don't know what his role is gonna be.
Speaker 2: Once Mookie Bets gets activated, will he even get on
Speaker 2: the plane and go with the Dodgers to Milwaukee. I mean,
Speaker 2: David Vassay and I talked about in the pregame show
Speaker 2: yesterday that the Dodgers going to Milwaukee don't want to
Speaker 2: bring guys who aren't gonna be there Monday or Tuesday.
Speaker 2: They need to start thinking about who's gonna be on
Speaker 2: this roster, who they're gonna activate. And the guys who
Speaker 2: aren't gonna be with them are staying home, and they're
Speaker 2: not get on a flight right now from Lax going
Speaker 2: to Milwaukee. So we'll see who doesn't get on the plane.
Speaker 2: What the roster looks like tomorrow with Mookie Betts scheduled
Speaker 2: to come back, and again, what the rockster's gonna look
Speaker 2: like when Walker Buehler gets activated later on this road trip,
Speaker 2: And what's the roster gonna look like next week on
Speaker 2: the homestand when you know Tommy Edmund and Max Munsey
Speaker 2: are scheduled to come off the injured list. Let's go
Speaker 2: to Don in industry.
Speaker 6: Don, how you doing, buddy, great Tim, how are you
Speaker 6: doing on this great uh? Oh man? The wind up
Speaker 6: of a great weekend. I was just so happy to see,
Speaker 6: I mean, Peter O'Malley in putting his dad in the
Speaker 6: in the ring of honor, Dusty Baker. But Matt Camp.
Speaker 6: You know, they were talking about nicknames, Tim and I remember,
Speaker 6: all the great nickname is Frank Hondo, Howard, horse Height, Highwayman, Rick,
Speaker 6: Steve Carvey, a little Abnder, the penguin round and say,
Speaker 6: but Matt Camp, wasn't he the Bison?
Speaker 3: He might have been.
Speaker 10: Somebody used to.
Speaker 6: Call him that the Bison, And I was thinking, man,
Speaker 6: what a great name. We look at his profile. He
Speaker 6: looks so cool. That name was like right on, you know,
Speaker 6: But Matt the Bison Camp. What a great guy. How
Speaker 6: great to honor him. It's just a great for old
Speaker 6: timers like me. All the nostalgia is great. And I'm madam,
Speaker 6: so it feels so sorry for a river River Ryan Man.
Speaker 6: I sure hope he's he's okay, And uh, but yeah,
Speaker 6: that's Tommy John's no joke. Don't you miss a whole
Speaker 6: year after you get that.
Speaker 2: If you get at the case, it's fourteen months, you know,
Speaker 2: And that's that's looking at a shortcase.
Speaker 3: Don appreciated.
Speaker 2: So you hate to speculate, but if he does need
Speaker 2: Tommy John surgery, it sort of falls in the same
Speaker 2: window as Tony Gonsolin, I believe, who had surgery right
Speaker 2: around this time a year ago. And Gonsolin's missing all
Speaker 2: of twenty four, not gonna be back till next year,
Speaker 2: in twenty five.
Speaker 3: So you think of River Ryan.
Speaker 2: If he has surgery in the next couple weeks, Let's
Speaker 2: say he waits a month to see if he can
Speaker 2: rehab it, and let's hope that's something he can do,
Speaker 2: is try to rehab the UCL injury in this elbow
Speaker 2: and come back from that next season. But let's just
Speaker 2: also look at it if he's got to have Tommy
Speaker 2: John surgery, and we hope that's not the case, but
Speaker 2: you know, it's baseball, and it happens a lot. Now
Speaker 2: he's not coming back until twenty twenty six. He he's
Speaker 2: not coming back at the end of next year. They'll
Speaker 2: look like more like twenty twenty six, just like in
Speaker 2: the case of Walker Bueller, in the case of Tony
Speaker 2: Gonslin missing a good month and a year and almost
Speaker 2: two months of a season. So again with best thoughts
Speaker 2: and wishes for for River Ryan and the young man
Speaker 2: who now has a strain of the u CL and
Speaker 2: his right elbow, and we hope that he can rehabit
Speaker 2: and get back next year. Certainly, I imagine Tommy John surgery
Speaker 2: is an option as well.
Speaker 3: Is he be our final call?
Speaker 2: Before we hear from Matt Kemp, who earlier today was
Speaker 2: signed by the Dodgers to a one day deal and
Speaker 2: retiring in Dodger Blue. Hi, is he Matt? You're Matt
