This road trip, though, 10 00:00:31.640 --> 00:00:35.320 hasn't gone exactly as planned. When they started in Houston, 11 00:00:35.320 --> 00:00:37.600 they dropped two of three. When they went to San Diego, 12 00:00:37.679 --> 00:00:40.320 they dropped both games to the Padres, and last night 13 00:00:40.640 --> 00:00:43.320 they fell to the A's. And this series opener in 14 00:00:43.560 --> 00:00:46.000 Oakland and tonight, they look to get back on track 15 00:00:46.280 --> 00:00:49.320 with a fresh face, Jack Flaherty, acquired at the deadline 16 00:00:49.399 --> 00:00:52.240 back home here in Southern California, pitching for his favorite 17 00:00:52.280 --> 00:00:54.520 team growing up, the Dodgers. He'll take the mound tonight 18 00:00:54.600 --> 00:00:57.719 from the Oakland Coliseum, first pitch for six oh seven. 19 00:00:57.920 --> 00:01:00.280 Between then and now, we got a lot to get 20 00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:03.679 to here on Marongo Casino Dodgers on Deck, We'll preview 21 00:01:03.759 --> 00:01:06.760 this pitching matchup, David Vasse will go one on one 22 00:01:06.920 --> 00:01:09.640 with Blake Trying. In shortly, we'll hear from Kirsten Watson, 23 00:01:09.640 --> 00:01:12.439 who was live on the field there at the Coliseum 24 00:01:12.519 --> 00:01:14.680 in Oakland. In just a few minutes, we'll head out 25 00:01:14.719 --> 00:01:17.359 to the GALPA Motors broadcast booth and here from Rick 26 00:01:17.439 --> 00:01:19.280 Monday and Tim nevertts Well. 27 00:01:19.319 --> 00:01:19.920 Last night in. 28 00:01:19.879 --> 00:01:23.280 Oakland, things started good for the Dodgers before Stone got 29 00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:26.040 roughed up and the Dodgers didn't have enough to come back. 30 00:01:26.079 --> 00:01:27.319 Gavin Stone got to start. 31 00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:30.200 The young right hander had a great season so far, 32 00:01:30.280 --> 00:01:32.879 but since the beginning of July he started a level 33 00:01:32.920 --> 00:01:36.000 out of it last night. Four innings, five runs, eight hits, 34 00:01:36.239 --> 00:01:38.840 including two home runs. He's truck out five along the way. 35 00:01:38.920 --> 00:01:42.359 The Dodgers offense, though, gave Gavin Stone some early run support. 36 00:01:42.799 --> 00:01:47.000 Two down and the pitch Fromestes to Hernandez swung on well, 37 00:01:47.079 --> 00:01:49.879 hit to left, going back as Miguel Andohr he's at 38 00:01:49.879 --> 00:01:52.640 the track. He looks up and has gone Hondre on 39 00:01:52.760 --> 00:01:57.120 a two runs shot for Taioscar Hernandez his twenty third 40 00:01:57.560 --> 00:01:59.319 and the Dodgers jump on the board. 41 00:01:59.400 --> 00:02:01.159 First hit there's two to nothing. 42 00:02:01.439 --> 00:02:03.599 Twenty third home run of the season for tay Oscar, 43 00:02:03.640 --> 00:02:06.680 and the Dodgers jumped on Joey Estas early, grabbing a 44 00:02:06.680 --> 00:02:09.680 two to nothing lead. However, after that ta Oscar a 45 00:02:09.680 --> 00:02:12.120 home run, the Dodgers offense went to sleep. Vesta has 46 00:02:12.199 --> 00:02:15.759 retired fifteen straight. Meanwhile, Gavin Stone gave a pa pair 47 00:02:15.800 --> 00:02:17.520 of solo home runs in the fourth that tied the 48 00:02:17.520 --> 00:02:19.520 game at two. In the fifth, Gavin Stone give up 49 00:02:19.520 --> 00:02:21.520 a lead off walk, then an RBI triple followed by 50 00:02:21.560 --> 00:02:23.879 an RBI double, and just like that, the Dodgers were 51 00:02:23.919 --> 00:02:26.360 down four to two, and that was it for Gavin Stone. 52 00:02:26.400 --> 00:02:28.639 Joe Kelly proceeded to come in and serve up a 53 00:02:28.639 --> 00:02:29.680 two run home run to the. 54 00:02:29.680 --> 00:02:30.759 First Battery faces. 55 00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:33.240 The A's, with four runs in the fourth inning, took 56 00:02:33.280 --> 00:02:36.319 a six to two lead. The Dodgers offense was able 57 00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:38.479 to get some runners on base in the sixth and 58 00:02:38.439 --> 00:02:42.080 the seventh and in the eighth, but nothing across the plates. 59 00:02:42.199 --> 00:02:44.319 It remained six to two until the top of the ninth. 60 00:02:44.560 --> 00:02:46.840 Key k Hernandez a one out single. Two batters later, 61 00:02:46.919 --> 00:02:50.159 James Autman a two out walk that brought up show. 62 00:02:49.919 --> 00:02:53.599 Hey Ferguson ready his pitch on the way swing on 63 00:02:53.719 --> 00:02:54.520 an hammer. 64 00:02:54.599 --> 00:02:59.039 Deep right, failed way back in down home run for. 65 00:02:59.159 --> 00:03:00.400 Shure hell Tony. 66 00:03:00.960 --> 00:03:03.240 It's thirty third of the season. 67 00:03:03.639 --> 00:03:06.479 It's a one run ball game, six to five. 68 00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:09.639 Home run number thirty three for show Hey. 69 00:03:09.719 --> 00:03:14.039 That broken oh for fifteen Dodgers slump for show Hey. 70 00:03:14.319 --> 00:03:18.039 Dodgers down six to five, they were back in it. Unfortunately, 71 00:03:18.120 --> 00:03:20.080 that's as close as they would get, as the Eighties 72 00:03:20.120 --> 00:03:21.719 hang on and win at six to five, as does 73 00:03:21.759 --> 00:03:22.080 the wins. 74 00:03:22.159 --> 00:03:23.400 Gavin Stone gets the loss. 75 00:03:23.560 --> 00:03:25.520 He's now zero in three with a seven to fifteen 76 00:03:25.840 --> 00:03:27.479 ERRA in his last five starts. 77 00:03:27.719 --> 00:03:29.560 The Dodgers are struggling on this roach. 78 00:03:29.560 --> 00:03:32.560 If they're now one in five, they're hitting collectively one 79 00:03:32.599 --> 00:03:34.759 to eighty seven, they're scoring about three and a half 80 00:03:34.840 --> 00:03:38.360 runs per game, and they have struck out seventy seven 81 00:03:38.639 --> 00:03:43.039 times in six games. They're leading the division down to 82 00:03:43.199 --> 00:03:46.159 just four. Tonight, though a new day and a new 83 00:03:46.319 --> 00:03:48.639 arm on the mound. Jack flairt he acquired at the 84 00:03:48.680 --> 00:03:51.240 trade down line from Detroit. He gets to start his 85 00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:54.280 first in the Dodger uniform. First pitch from Oakland Coliseum 86 00:03:54.360 --> 00:03:56.039 is coming up at six zero seven and with more. 87 00:03:56.159 --> 00:03:58.400 We head up to the Gallpin Motors broadcast booth as 88 00:03:58.400 --> 00:04:02.599 we say hello, good afternoon Monday, and Tim never guys, thanks. 89 00:04:02.360 --> 00:04:05.000 To them back of the Oakland Coliseum beautiful night, blue 90 00:04:05.039 --> 00:04:08.639 skies as we get set for Dodger Baseball against the 91 00:04:08.639 --> 00:04:11.919 Oakland Athletics and the Dodgers trying to even this series 92 00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:14.719 up at a game of peace. Disappointing start to the 93 00:04:14.759 --> 00:04:17.360 series as the A's pulled out a six to five 94 00:04:17.439 --> 00:04:20.160 win last night. Shoey O'towny with a late three run 95 00:04:20.199 --> 00:04:23.439 home run with two outs in the top of the 96 00:04:23.519 --> 00:04:26.560 ninth pinning, but it just wasn't enough as the A's 97 00:04:26.560 --> 00:04:29.800 held on for that six to five victory. Dodgers begin 98 00:04:29.879 --> 00:04:33.199 the day four up on the Arizona Diamondbacks and they'll 99 00:04:33.240 --> 00:04:37.560 send newly acquired Jack Flaherty to the mod Flarity has 100 00:04:37.680 --> 00:04:40.439 chosen to wear the number is zero for the Dodgers, 101 00:04:40.759 --> 00:04:44.040 so he will be out there tonight making his Dodger debut. 102 00:04:44.079 --> 00:04:46.720 The established Major league veterans seven and five on the 103 00:04:46.759 --> 00:04:50.399 year with Detroit with an ERA under three. He will 104 00:04:50.399 --> 00:04:53.839 oppose Mitch Spence, a right hander for Oakland. He's won 105 00:04:53.920 --> 00:04:56.519 back to back starts he is seven and six overall 106 00:04:56.759 --> 00:04:59.639 with a four to four to seven ere a pretty 107 00:04:59.639 --> 00:05:03.000 similar looking line up tonight Rick as last night, with 108 00:05:03.040 --> 00:05:06.399 the exception Kevin Kiermeier does not start, and I'm ed 109 00:05:06.480 --> 00:05:07.879 Rosario also on the bench. 110 00:05:08.040 --> 00:05:10.759 Well where do we begin? And I think the first 111 00:05:10.759 --> 00:05:13.240 thing you have to realize the Dodgers, this has not 112 00:05:13.279 --> 00:05:15.240 been an enjoyable trip at all. They're one in five. 113 00:05:15.319 --> 00:05:17.079 Couple of things really have to happen. They have to 114 00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:19.879 hit better and pitch better. The defense has been okay, 115 00:05:20.519 --> 00:05:24.160 but from an offensive standpoint, they've been outscored. They've been 116 00:05:24.199 --> 00:05:27.439 out hit with runners in scoring position. It's really a 117 00:05:27.519 --> 00:05:29.959 landslide and the Dodgers to the negative sign. And then 118 00:05:29.959 --> 00:05:32.839 you look at the pitching. The Dodgers need some extension 119 00:05:33.040 --> 00:05:34.879 as far as the number of innings, and hopefully they 120 00:05:34.920 --> 00:05:37.959 get that from Jack Flaherty, who can certainly fill the 121 00:05:37.959 --> 00:05:40.800 bill on that end of it. Because the starting pitching, 122 00:05:41.279 --> 00:05:44.040 if you go back really to the first of July, 123 00:05:44.560 --> 00:05:47.600 it worked only five innings more than the bullpen. So 124 00:05:47.600 --> 00:05:50.519 the bullpen has had a very very heavy load recently. 125 00:05:50.720 --> 00:05:52.480 And for the oaklan a as you go back to 126 00:05:52.560 --> 00:05:55.639 the beginning of July, they're starting pitching. Actually, since the 127 00:05:55.680 --> 00:05:58.639 All Star break is nine and three, they're getting some 128 00:05:58.759 --> 00:06:01.519 decent starting pitching where they hadn't in the first half of. 129 00:06:01.439 --> 00:06:03.240 The Sex and they're getting it done a lot of 130 00:06:03.240 --> 00:06:05.240 different ways. So if the A's don't take them lightly, 131 00:06:05.240 --> 00:06:07.160 you know, they may be last place in America League 132 00:06:07.199 --> 00:06:10.759 Western Division, twelve games behind Houston and Seattle, who tied 133 00:06:10.800 --> 00:06:13.319 at the top. But for the A's they won seven 134 00:06:13.360 --> 00:06:16.319 of ten. Ten of the last fourteen have also been 135 00:06:16.360 --> 00:06:17.879 the win column, and all you have to do is 136 00:06:17.879 --> 00:06:21.120 look at how they're really playing and enjoying themselves on 137 00:06:21.160 --> 00:06:23.079 the field for a very good reason. They're playing good 138 00:06:23.079 --> 00:06:23.959 baseball right now. 139 00:06:24.240 --> 00:06:27.560 Since July one, the Dodgers eleven and fourteen, as you 140 00:06:27.639 --> 00:06:29.480 mentioned one on five on the trip, they're two and 141 00:06:29.519 --> 00:06:32.759 six in their last eight. So instead of a June swoon, 142 00:06:32.800 --> 00:06:35.360 it's really been the July swoon starting into August. So 143 00:06:35.480 --> 00:06:38.600 tonight behind Flairdy, this is really a game the Dodgers have. 144 00:06:38.600 --> 00:06:41.000 To win and winning they need to do it. They've 145 00:06:41.040 --> 00:06:43.480 lost six to the last ten. Meanwhile, you look at Arizona. 146 00:06:43.560 --> 00:06:46.079 Arizona now is move into second place in the Western 147 00:06:46.079 --> 00:06:50.040 Division four games. They've won eight of ten San Diego 148 00:06:50.079 --> 00:06:52.439 now four and a half back. They've also won eight 149 00:06:52.560 --> 00:06:56.680 of their last ten ball games. So again pitching and hitting, 150 00:06:56.720 --> 00:07:00.279 and they need more timely hitting in certain areas of 151 00:07:00.319 --> 00:07:02.759 the ballgame because they left too many runners on base 152 00:07:02.920 --> 00:07:05.439 when they've been able to get runners on base. Because 153 00:07:05.439 --> 00:07:09.199 again on this road trip, they have struck out seventy 154 00:07:09.399 --> 00:07:13.040 seven times. Do some math for you. That's twenty five 155 00:07:13.120 --> 00:07:17.279 and two thirds innings of nothing, no productivity. 156 00:07:17.120 --> 00:07:18.680 Pitch here and catcher playing catch. 157 00:07:19.319 --> 00:07:21.839 Yeah, and that's got to change, and it is going 158 00:07:21.920 --> 00:07:23.759 to change. And I think one of the problems you 159 00:07:23.879 --> 00:07:26.639 run into is a ball club individually, if you try 160 00:07:26.639 --> 00:07:28.879 and take the load upon your own shoulders. Now one 161 00:07:28.879 --> 00:07:31.800 guy can do it. Dave Roberts saluted to that last night. 162 00:07:31.839 --> 00:07:34.399 Is Look, you can't expect show Hey Otani to pull 163 00:07:34.439 --> 00:07:36.639 the wagon all the time. Other guys have to contribute 164 00:07:36.639 --> 00:07:38.199 as well. I think it's gonna happen very soon. 165 00:07:38.439 --> 00:07:42.480 Jack Clarity against Mitch Spence Game two Dodgers and as 166 00:07:42.519 --> 00:07:45.000 Dodgers trying to even up the series, Aaron Oakland tim 167 00:07:45.079 --> 00:07:45.720 all right, as we. 168 00:07:45.720 --> 00:07:48.079 Caut you down to first pitch, Dodger fans get that 169 00:07:48.279 --> 00:07:51.720 game day meal on as Shaky's Pizza Parlor.

Dodgers desperately need to get a win 207 00:09:45.840 --> 00:09:47.840 on this road trip and they give the ball to 208 00:09:47.879 --> 00:09:50.879 one of the new faces in this rotation, Jack Flaherty. 209 00:09:51.360 --> 00:09:52.960 Yeah, and the hope is like he can be the 210 00:09:52.960 --> 00:09:55.399 stopper for this team. This is a guy who's having 211 00:09:55.399 --> 00:09:57.919 a really strong season and a guy who's getting really 212 00:09:57.960 --> 00:10:01.360 top acquisition for the trade. That's so he comes in. 213 00:10:01.480 --> 00:10:03.320 He not only just brings a little bit of spark, 214 00:10:03.399 --> 00:10:04.919 but I actually love what he said the other day 215 00:10:04.960 --> 00:10:07.000 when he was speaking to the media in San Diego. 216 00:10:07.639 --> 00:10:10.799 He does also bring an edge, So hopefully he can 217 00:10:10.840 --> 00:10:13.440 set the tone and get things going early, be effective, 218 00:10:13.480 --> 00:10:16.600 hopefully get a little deeper into the game, and give 219 00:10:16.679 --> 00:10:19.039 the team the support they need. Obviously, we've been seeing 220 00:10:19.080 --> 00:10:22.240 the last two games just from the starting rotation not 221 00:10:22.360 --> 00:10:25.960 the best of outings, so Bulton usage is a little 222 00:10:25.960 --> 00:10:28.440 bit high. Dave Roberts does feel that they're in a 223 00:10:28.440 --> 00:10:31.000 good spot still, but the hope is that Jack can 224 00:10:31.000 --> 00:10:34.039 set the tone. Be that hometown kid. I have to 225 00:10:34.080 --> 00:10:36.080 imagine that he's going to be really special for him. 226 00:10:36.279 --> 00:10:40.240 Wearing Dodger blue RepresentUs organization, one that he grew up 227 00:10:40.320 --> 00:10:42.879 cheering for, so it's going to be an unforgettable day 228 00:10:43.039 --> 00:10:45.720 for him no matter what. But hopefully he can kind 229 00:10:45.720 --> 00:10:47.919 of put the ball on it with big times in. 230 00:10:48.240 --> 00:10:50.519 Hopefully he gives them the outing they need and the 231 00:10:50.559 --> 00:10:53.559 Dodgers meanwhile offensively tweaking things up a little bit. 232 00:10:53.679 --> 00:10:54.080 The line up. 233 00:10:54.799 --> 00:10:58.120 Yeah, So the Dave Roberts switched pay Oscar Hernandez and 234 00:10:58.159 --> 00:11:02.240 Will Smith. And it's not like a big twitch or anything, 235 00:11:02.360 --> 00:11:06.919 but really with Will Smith, he's been struggling. He's been 236 00:11:06.960 --> 00:11:09.200 transparent about that, trying to work through a few things 237 00:11:09.200 --> 00:11:11.759 to get going, and so it just made more sense 238 00:11:11.759 --> 00:11:14.519 that someone can get that. Just if someone's going to 239 00:11:14.600 --> 00:11:17.000 have another at that, it makes more sense for it 240 00:11:17.000 --> 00:11:19.200 to be payoffs over Will Smith at the moment, as 241 00:11:19.279 --> 00:11:21.879 Chayoscar we call last night with the home run, he's 242 00:11:21.919 --> 00:11:24.919 been pretty consistent, especially with the long ball as of late. 243 00:11:25.399 --> 00:11:28.519 So just hopefully it's another way to kind of get 244 00:11:28.559 --> 00:11:32.480 this offense going, because you can feel it late in 245 00:11:32.519 --> 00:11:34.480 the game. It just felt like, okay, yeah, the two 246 00:11:34.519 --> 00:11:37.679 runs early in that first inning, and then it's really quiet, 247 00:11:37.720 --> 00:11:40.399 and then finally, you know, Shohey comes up with that moment, 248 00:11:40.480 --> 00:11:42.360 keeps the home run. All right, they're back in it, 249 00:11:42.440 --> 00:11:45.320 but obviously they lost by that one run. So hopefully 250 00:11:45.360 --> 00:11:47.000 it just puts the team in a little bit of 251 00:11:47.000 --> 00:11:50.000 a different position where they can just add multiple runs 252 00:11:50.080 --> 00:11:52.519 on the board really throughout the entirety of the game. 253 00:11:52.919 --> 00:11:53.559 Yeah, no doubt. 254 00:11:53.600 --> 00:11:55.559 They got to score in bunches, not just the beginning 255 00:11:55.559 --> 00:11:56.879 of the game and the end of the game. 256 00:11:56.960 --> 00:11:59.200 Cares. We appreciate it. We will check in with you 257 00:11:59.279 --> 00:12:00.000 after this game. 258 00:12:00.440 --> 00:12:02.559 Brought to you by Cars for Kids, the easiest way 259 00:12:02.600 --> 00:12:04.159 to get rid of your old car.

We'll get you with 264 00:12:14.360 --> 00:12:16.840 injury report. But up next we'll also hear from the 265 00:12:16.879 --> 00:12:19.840 manager Dave Roberts Dodgers as first pitch is. 266 00:12:19.840 --> 00:12:20.480 Six oh seven. 267 00:12:20.559 --> 00:12:23.399 I'm Tim Kates's Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network. 268 00:12:27.039 --> 00:12:32.320 This is Marongo Casino Dodgers Hunt on your home for 269 00:12:32.679 --> 00:12:34.200 LA Dodgers Baseball. 270 00:12:36.000 --> 00:12:39.679 Marongo Casino Dodgers on Deck continues on this Saturday night 271 00:12:39.679 --> 00:12:43.240 a Marongo Casino resort and spat a Grand Slam four 272 00:12:43.279 --> 00:12:46.279 Good Times Dodgers in Oakland to take on the a's 273 00:12:46.320 --> 00:12:47.840 first pitch coming up at six oh seven. 274 00:12:49.159 --> 00:12:52.559 It's the LA Dodgers Injury. 275 00:12:52.200 --> 00:12:55.279 Report presented by UCLA Healthy, official medical partner of the 276 00:12:55.279 --> 00:12:57.720 Los Angeles Dodgers. Chris Taylor on the I, L McGill, 277 00:12:57.799 --> 00:13:00.279 Rojas on the IL, Mookie Bets on the IEL but 278 00:13:00.360 --> 00:13:04.000 getting closer you oce w Yabbamoto is throwing off Blackground 279 00:13:04.080 --> 00:13:06.679 and has thrown a bullpen session, so that is good news. 280 00:13:06.679 --> 00:13:08.919 Walker Bueler on the IEL. Going to make another minor 281 00:13:09.000 --> 00:13:11.559 league rehabit assignment coming up in a couple of days. 282 00:13:11.559 --> 00:13:14.480 Michael Grove looks like the closest of the Dodger players 283 00:13:14.480 --> 00:13:16.720 that are on the IEL to return that could be 284 00:13:16.759 --> 00:13:19.679 sooner rather than later, followed by Max Munsey and Ryan 285 00:13:19.759 --> 00:13:21.960 Brasier as well as Bruce dark ground role. So the 286 00:13:22.000 --> 00:13:24.879 Dodgers starting to get healthy here as we flip the 287 00:13:24.879 --> 00:13:27.000 calendar to august 's head back up to Oakland and 288 00:13:27.039 --> 00:13:28.200 check out the Dodgers get burned. 289 00:13:28.240 --> 00:13:28.639 Anything else? 290 00:13:30.200 --> 00:13:31.320 The questions for Dave Dave? 291 00:13:31.399 --> 00:13:34.279 Can you just describe Dave? Can you talk about the 292 00:13:34.320 --> 00:13:37.480 pressure in the dugouts with Dave. 293 00:13:37.360 --> 00:13:44.559 Roberts, Well, it's it's exciting. He hasn't pitched in ten days, 294 00:13:44.639 --> 00:13:47.879 so I know he's eager to get back out there 295 00:13:48.799 --> 00:13:52.000 and make a contribution. I think there's going to be 296 00:13:52.159 --> 00:13:55.960 some intensity, some I think he's going to raise the 297 00:13:56.039 --> 00:13:59.840 level of energy for our ball club. I think that's great, 298 00:14:00.559 --> 00:14:03.159 and it's going to be good stuff. It's going to 299 00:14:03.240 --> 00:14:06.559 be good fastball, good slider and change up in there, 300 00:14:07.039 --> 00:14:08.519 and he's going to go out there and compete. So 301 00:14:08.559 --> 00:14:10.840 I feel like we're going to feed off of what 302 00:14:10.879 --> 00:14:12.039 he brings to us tonight. 303 00:14:12.159 --> 00:14:15.840 There's obviously familiarity, whether it's been like for the Cardinals 304 00:14:16.000 --> 00:14:19.120 facing the Dodgers, things like that, being a hometown kid. 305 00:14:19.159 --> 00:14:21.519 But what are you learning from him just with this 306 00:14:21.679 --> 00:14:23.559 outing and what are you kind of looking to see 307 00:14:23.559 --> 00:14:27.080 in regard to that side of kind of understanding managing him. 308 00:14:27.600 --> 00:14:30.960 I think you know any player as I've been traded myself, 309 00:14:31.000 --> 00:14:34.200 and you want to be able to contribute. And so 310 00:14:34.360 --> 00:14:37.360 he's been here for a handful of days and he's 311 00:14:37.399 --> 00:14:41.000 getting the lay of the land through a side. But 312 00:14:41.080 --> 00:14:44.960 I think now's the final piece he's excited to be 313 00:14:45.000 --> 00:14:49.279 a Dodger, is to be able to kind of participate 314 00:14:49.320 --> 00:14:52.200 with his new teammates and so then he can really 315 00:14:52.200 --> 00:14:53.840 feel like he's a part of things. So I think 316 00:14:53.879 --> 00:14:56.480 he's just kind of been holding as long as he 317 00:14:56.519 --> 00:15:00.320 could and there's a lot of energy and excite man. 318 00:15:00.440 --> 00:15:03.039 That's uh. Waiting to be unleashed tonight. 319 00:15:03.039 --> 00:15:05.200 All right, talking about Jack Flerity, he will be wearing 320 00:15:05.279 --> 00:15:08.639 number zero for the Dodgers tonight when he's up on 321 00:15:08.679 --> 00:15:12.279 the mound making his Dodgers debut.

How hopeful are 348 00:16:28.399 --> 00:16:30.279 they they're gonna start getting these guys back sooner rather 349 00:16:30.320 --> 00:16:30.720 than later. 350 00:16:31.600 --> 00:16:34.039 Well, not only what Dave Roberts said to the media 351 00:16:34.159 --> 00:16:37.840 earlier today that you heard, but also talking to Andrew Friedman, 352 00:16:37.879 --> 00:16:41.159 who arrived here in Oakland this afternoon. He is very 353 00:16:41.159 --> 00:16:44.519 optimistic he's going to get these players back, but he 354 00:16:44.639 --> 00:16:48.519 did use a disclaimer to say, I might be stupid 355 00:16:48.559 --> 00:16:52.039 for thinking that way because it hasn't come together the 356 00:16:52.080 --> 00:16:54.840 way they envisioned it, with all these different injuries and 357 00:16:54.919 --> 00:17:00.240 obviously the unfortunate absence of Freddie Freeman. But I heard 358 00:17:00.320 --> 00:17:04.119 Dave Roberts mention it. Mookie Betts is expected back on 359 00:17:04.200 --> 00:17:06.720 the Dodgers next road trip that will take them from 360 00:17:06.759 --> 00:17:10.920 Milwaukee to Saint Louis Freddie Freeman possibly will be back 361 00:17:11.079 --> 00:17:14.319 when the Dodgers return home on Monday against the Phillies. 362 00:17:14.359 --> 00:17:18.160 So slowly but surely they're starting to get their guys back, 363 00:17:18.200 --> 00:17:22.480 and at my understanding talking to Andrew Friedman, Miguel Rojas 364 00:17:22.599 --> 00:17:25.960 is on the right track back. So they are going 365 00:17:26.000 --> 00:17:29.519 to look more like the lineup they envisioned within the 366 00:17:29.559 --> 00:17:33.079 next ten to fourteen days, not only the Dodgers that 367 00:17:33.119 --> 00:17:36.960 were already on the roster, but also Tommy Edmund. Andrew 368 00:17:37.000 --> 00:17:39.839 Freeman again told me how long he has won it 369 00:17:39.920 --> 00:17:44.640 both show Hey Otani and Tommy Edmond on the Dodgers. 370 00:17:44.240 --> 00:17:45.000 And they got them both. 371 00:17:45.039 --> 00:17:47.039 Now, Danna's turn by four and if there's one thing 372 00:17:47.079 --> 00:17:49.559 we like, it's choices. Find yours with the F one 373 00:17:49.680 --> 00:17:53.000 fifty gas hybrid are all electric tough. This mark can 374 00:17:53.039 --> 00:17:56.000 only be called f one fifty. Jack Flaherty Day for 375 00:17:56.119 --> 00:17:58.440 the Dodgers DV makes his Dodger debut to nine. 376 00:17:59.079 --> 00:17:59.240 Yeah. 377 00:17:59.240 --> 00:18:01.400 And the one thing that I loved about Jack Flaherty, 378 00:18:01.480 --> 00:18:04.279 who joined us on the pregame show in San Diego, 379 00:18:04.680 --> 00:18:08.599 was he said, I bring edge and I'm a firm believer. 380 00:18:08.799 --> 00:18:11.160 The Dodgers need more of that. I know. That's not 381 00:18:11.240 --> 00:18:14.839 something you see on the spreadsheet or in the cards 382 00:18:14.839 --> 00:18:17.960 that they use to make decisions. But I've said this 383 00:18:18.039 --> 00:18:21.079 a few times, Tim, the Dodgers are a very nice team. 384 00:18:21.519 --> 00:18:23.880 They need a little bit more edge. They need a 385 00:18:23.920 --> 00:18:26.640 little bit they need to be put in more uncomfortable 386 00:18:26.720 --> 00:18:31.119 positions as players and not just wait for that cavalry 387 00:18:31.160 --> 00:18:33.519 to arrive in the next couple of weeks. So Jack 388 00:18:33.559 --> 00:18:36.880 Flaherty brings that same type of edge to the mound 389 00:18:37.000 --> 00:18:40.640 in a different way that Tyler Glass now brings. And 390 00:18:40.680 --> 00:18:45.160 also Clayton Kershaw has brought his entire Hall of Fame career. 391 00:18:44.880 --> 00:18:47.079 A little bit more fire in that belly.
