00:01:22.280 --> 00:01:24.079
<v Speaker 2>in just a few minutes we'll check in when Tim

27
00:01:24.120 --> 00:01:27.400
<v Speaker 2>Neverett and Rick Monday out the Gallpin Motors Broadcast booth.

28
00:01:27.400 --> 00:01:33.120
<v Speaker 2>Well Yesterday in Saint Louis, Clayton Kershaw was good six innings,

29
00:01:33.159 --> 00:01:36.400
<v Speaker 2>no runs, four hits, two strikeouts, he walked one. He

30
00:01:36.480 --> 00:01:39.799
<v Speaker 2>through seventy pitches, only one batter of each second base.

31
00:01:39.840 --> 00:01:42.159
<v Speaker 2>It was the deepest outing this season. He was a

32
00:01:42.200 --> 00:01:44.400
<v Speaker 2>getting head in the counts just fifteen of the twenty

33
00:01:44.480 --> 00:01:46.879
<v Speaker 2>hitters that he faced. He had a first pitch strike

34
00:01:47.400 --> 00:01:50.040
<v Speaker 2>in three starts in August. He has been fantastic with

35
00:01:50.120 --> 00:01:53.920
<v Speaker 2>a sub two ero, and yesterday he didn't disappoint going

36
00:01:53.959 --> 00:01:57.079
<v Speaker 2>the six shutout innings. The Dodgers offense, meanwhile, needed a

37
00:01:57.079 --> 00:02:00.359
<v Speaker 2>couple of spins around the rotation there to get something going.

38
00:02:00.439 --> 00:02:03.280
<v Speaker 2>They finally did in the fifth and it started with

39
00:02:03.400 --> 00:02:04.120
<v Speaker 2>show Hay.

40
00:02:04.680 --> 00:02:08.680
<v Speaker 3>And the pitch from Sonny Gray Otani Hammer's one to write.

41
00:02:08.919 --> 00:02:11.080
<v Speaker 4>This ball is deep, this both gone.

42
00:02:11.159 --> 00:02:17.080
<v Speaker 3>It's in the cardinal pulp Ben show Hey, o'tani, welcome

43
00:02:17.120 --> 00:02:20.840
<v Speaker 3>back my friends to the show that Never ends. He's

44
00:02:20.919 --> 00:02:23.919
<v Speaker 3>hit another one. It's his seventh home run this month,

45
00:02:24.319 --> 00:02:28.639
<v Speaker 3>is national leading thirty ninth and the Dodgers have a

46
00:02:28.759 --> 00:02:29.719
<v Speaker 3>one nothing.

47
00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:33.400
<v Speaker 2>Lead, number thirty nine for show Hey. Dodgers up once

48
00:02:33.439 --> 00:02:36.280
<v Speaker 2>and nothing. Later in the inning, the Dodgers tacked on

49
00:02:36.280 --> 00:02:38.680
<v Speaker 2>one more thanks to Miguel Rojas.

50
00:02:38.879 --> 00:02:39.280
<v Speaker 4>Two two.

51
00:02:39.360 --> 00:02:41.840
<v Speaker 3>There goes Leux and Rojas bangs it in the left field.

52
00:02:41.840 --> 00:02:47.120
<v Speaker 3>That's a base hit. Mukie will score. Luck's around second,

53
00:02:47.120 --> 00:02:49.479
<v Speaker 3>all the way to third of Miguel Rojas is driven

54
00:02:49.520 --> 00:02:49.840
<v Speaker 3>in a run.

55
00:02:49.960 --> 00:02:51.319
<v Speaker 4>It's two nothing Dodgers.

56
00:02:51.719 --> 00:02:54.159
<v Speaker 2>Rojas with the RBI single. That's the top tier play

57
00:02:54.240 --> 00:02:57.599
<v Speaker 2>the game sponsored by Arco Quality, top tier gas or less.

58
00:02:58.000 --> 00:03:00.840
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers of a two to nothing lead. Clayton Hershaw the

59
00:03:00.919 --> 00:03:03.240
<v Speaker 2>sixth innings got helped by a double playball to end

60
00:03:03.240 --> 00:03:05.919
<v Speaker 2>the sixth inning after two singles to lead off the inning,

61
00:03:05.960 --> 00:03:08.439
<v Speaker 2>for the Cardinals, he gets out of it no runs,

62
00:03:08.439 --> 00:03:11.400
<v Speaker 2>would he come back out for the seventh No. Evan

63
00:03:11.439 --> 00:03:13.960
<v Speaker 2>Phillips got the seventh inning out of the bullpen. Daniel

64
00:03:14.000 --> 00:03:16.599
<v Speaker 2>Hudson got the eighth, not before giving up a Lars

65
00:03:16.639 --> 00:03:19.599
<v Speaker 2>newpar pinch hit home run. Dodgers' lead was just two

66
00:03:19.639 --> 00:03:22.759
<v Speaker 2>to one, so the ninth inning belonged to Michael Kopek,

67
00:03:22.800 --> 00:03:25.719
<v Speaker 2>who comes in, gets out of the inning clean without

68
00:03:25.719 --> 00:03:28.960
<v Speaker 2>and he runs. Dodgers get the win two to one

69
00:03:29.080 --> 00:03:32.280
<v Speaker 2>over the Cardinals as Clayton Kershaw picks up the win,

70
00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:35.680
<v Speaker 2>his second of this season. Michael Kopek picks up to

71
00:03:35.719 --> 00:03:39.199
<v Speaker 2>save his second in a Dodger uniform, eleventh on this season.

72
00:03:39.240 --> 00:03:41.840
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers picking up a game on both the Diamondbacks and

73
00:03:41.879 --> 00:03:45.159
<v Speaker 2>the Padres, who both lost yesterday, So the Dodgers three

74
00:03:45.159 --> 00:03:47.800
<v Speaker 2>games up on San Diego, four games up on Arizona.

75
00:03:47.840 --> 00:03:50.800
<v Speaker 2>Going into play tonight, Dodgers now sit at seventy three

76
00:03:50.879 --> 00:03:54.159
<v Speaker 2>and fifty two overall, and tonight to start off the

77
00:03:54.159 --> 00:03:57.680
<v Speaker 2>home stand, it's Gavin Stone looking for his eleventh win

78
00:03:57.800 --> 00:03:59.759
<v Speaker 2>of the season. First pitch coming up at seven to

79
00:03:59.759 --> 00:04:02.319
<v Speaker 2>ten and with more we head out to the gallpin

80
00:04:02.479 --> 00:04:05.919
<v Speaker 2>Motors Broadcast booth, as we say hello to Tim Neverett

81
00:04:05.960 --> 00:04:08.759
<v Speaker 2>and Rick Monday. Guys, Tim, thanks very much.

82
00:04:08.800 --> 00:04:12.240
<v Speaker 3>Perfect night for baseball at Dodgers Stadium as the Dodgers

83
00:04:12.280 --> 00:04:16.160
<v Speaker 3>begin a nine game, eleven day home stand all against

84
00:04:16.199 --> 00:04:20.639
<v Speaker 3>American League teams, starting with the Seattle Mariners tonight. Mariners

85
00:04:20.680 --> 00:04:23.920
<v Speaker 3>come in sixty four and sixty one. There are four

86
00:04:23.959 --> 00:04:28.439
<v Speaker 3>games behind the American League West leading Houston Astros and

87
00:04:28.480 --> 00:04:31.040
<v Speaker 3>the Dodgers three up on the Padres, four up on

88
00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:35.959
<v Speaker 3>the Arizona Diamondbacks seventy three and fifty two. The Dodgers

89
00:04:36.360 --> 00:04:40.040
<v Speaker 3>will send right hander Gavin Stone to the Mounds tonight

90
00:04:40.480 --> 00:04:43.879
<v Speaker 3>ten and five for Stone as he gets set to

91
00:04:43.959 --> 00:04:46.720
<v Speaker 3>make his twenty third start of the season, making his

92
00:04:46.800 --> 00:04:51.000
<v Speaker 3>fifteenth start as Brian wo of Seattle. He has been

93
00:04:51.199 --> 00:04:53.800
<v Speaker 3>very good for the Mariners five to one and in

94
00:04:53.839 --> 00:04:57.319
<v Speaker 3>the ra of just over two at two zero six.

95
00:04:57.399 --> 00:05:00.759
<v Speaker 3>And we getting off the road trip good win yesterday

96
00:05:00.879 --> 00:05:03.399
<v Speaker 3>in Saint Louis to come away with a four and

97
00:05:03.439 --> 00:05:05.839
<v Speaker 3>three road trip, taking it into this long homestaff.

98
00:05:05.959 --> 00:05:08.720
<v Speaker 5>And the other part too is getting some people healthy.

99
00:05:08.800 --> 00:05:11.519
<v Speaker 5>And while they're getting healthy, also one player goes on

100
00:05:11.519 --> 00:05:14.439
<v Speaker 5>the injure list. That being Austin Barnes. We found out

101
00:05:14.519 --> 00:05:17.360
<v Speaker 5>last night that he had actually taken a foul ball

102
00:05:17.439 --> 00:05:20.160
<v Speaker 5>off of his left big toe during the game. Was

103
00:05:20.199 --> 00:05:22.120
<v Speaker 5>stayed in the game for the next seven innings, and

104
00:05:22.680 --> 00:05:24.839
<v Speaker 5>he had extra ends today. It is broken. He goes

105
00:05:24.879 --> 00:05:27.680
<v Speaker 5>on the injured list, and for the Dodgers, they do

106
00:05:27.759 --> 00:05:30.560
<v Speaker 5>get Max Munsey, he comes off the injured list. And

107
00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:33.120
<v Speaker 5>for Tommy Edmond, who the Dodgers made that deal for,

108
00:05:33.480 --> 00:05:37.319
<v Speaker 5>he's had issues with a wrist and also with an ankle.

109
00:05:37.639 --> 00:05:40.600
<v Speaker 5>He is now activated. Both are in the lineup tonight

110
00:05:40.920 --> 00:05:43.199
<v Speaker 5>and Fidusha has also been called up. So there's been

111
00:05:43.240 --> 00:05:46.040
<v Speaker 5>a lot of transition as far as the Dodger roster.

112
00:05:46.120 --> 00:05:49.439
<v Speaker 5>And by the way, Freddie Freeman, who missed yesterday and

113
00:05:49.519 --> 00:05:52.160
<v Speaker 5>taking a ball off of his right hand in Saturday's game,

114
00:05:52.399 --> 00:05:54.160
<v Speaker 5>returns the lineup as well, and.

115
00:05:55.040 --> 00:05:57.279
<v Speaker 3>Dave Roberts telling us just a short time ago that

116
00:05:57.319 --> 00:06:01.000
<v Speaker 3>Freddie Freeman actually has a hairline fracture in his right

117
00:06:01.040 --> 00:06:03.439
<v Speaker 3>middle finger. It's just going to be a pain tolerance thing.

118
00:06:03.839 --> 00:06:06.199
<v Speaker 3>He'll play through it, and again he is in the lineup.

119
00:06:06.680 --> 00:06:09.720
<v Speaker 3>Hunter Fadusia back up for the second time after making

120
00:06:09.759 --> 00:06:13.319
<v Speaker 3>his Major League debut. He is a left handed catcher,

121
00:06:13.360 --> 00:06:16.279
<v Speaker 3>so now you've got a left handed catcher available, where

122
00:06:16.279 --> 00:06:19.120
<v Speaker 3>the Dodgers primarily over the last several years have only

123
00:06:19.120 --> 00:06:22.439
<v Speaker 3>had right handed catchers with Will Smith and with Austin Barnes,

124
00:06:22.600 --> 00:06:25.720
<v Speaker 3>so a left handed hitting catcher with Fiducia. The lineup,

125
00:06:25.759 --> 00:06:28.720
<v Speaker 3>when you look at it now gets a lot longer

126
00:06:28.759 --> 00:06:32.160
<v Speaker 3>with monthly hitting in the seventh spot, Tommy Edmund again

127
00:06:32.199 --> 00:06:35.079
<v Speaker 3>coming off an injury situation, but very good reports on

128
00:06:35.120 --> 00:06:38.800
<v Speaker 3>his rehab with TRIPAA Oklahoma City. So top to bottom,

129
00:06:38.839 --> 00:06:41.360
<v Speaker 3>this is probably the longest the lineup has been all season.

130
00:06:41.439 --> 00:06:44.160
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I think also too. If you look at this lineup,

131
00:06:44.199 --> 00:06:47.399
<v Speaker 5>two Tims, You've got Otani lefty, then BET's right handed freeman,

132
00:06:47.480 --> 00:06:50.720
<v Speaker 5>the lefty. You've got Hernandez ti Oscar right handed hitter,

133
00:06:50.759 --> 00:06:53.720
<v Speaker 5>then you've got the lefty. So my point being, it's

134
00:06:53.800 --> 00:06:56.600
<v Speaker 5>every other hitter in this lineup all the way top

135
00:06:56.639 --> 00:06:59.240
<v Speaker 5>to bottom is a left handed batter. Edmond of course

136
00:06:59.279 --> 00:07:02.040
<v Speaker 5>is a switch hitter. He's batting nine. Youel bat from

137
00:07:02.040 --> 00:07:04.040
<v Speaker 5>the left side tonight, So there's a lot of balance

138
00:07:04.759 --> 00:07:07.639
<v Speaker 5>on this roster. And if you look at the lineup tonight,

139
00:07:08.040 --> 00:07:09.959
<v Speaker 5>the other part too, is both of these ball clubs

140
00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:12.160
<v Speaker 5>share something in common, and that is the fact that

141
00:07:12.199 --> 00:07:16.680
<v Speaker 5>they had not played particularly great baseball recently. The Dodgers,

142
00:07:16.680 --> 00:07:19.000
<v Speaker 5>of course, twenty third of July, had an eight and

143
00:07:19.000 --> 00:07:21.439
<v Speaker 5>a half game lead first place in a Western Division

144
00:07:21.480 --> 00:07:24.079
<v Speaker 5>that's been trimmed down to three. And for the Mariners,

145
00:07:24.519 --> 00:07:27.279
<v Speaker 5>they had a ten game lead ten months ago in

146
00:07:27.319 --> 00:07:30.240
<v Speaker 5>the America League Western Division. They now trail the Astros

147
00:07:30.560 --> 00:07:33.199
<v Speaker 5>by four full games in that division.

148
00:07:33.199 --> 00:07:36.360
<v Speaker 3>And Shoe O'tani is on the cosp of doing something

149
00:07:36.399 --> 00:07:38.839
<v Speaker 3>that no other Dodger has ever done, that is have

150
00:07:38.879 --> 00:07:42.720
<v Speaker 3>a forty forty season. He comes into action tonight thirty

151
00:07:42.800 --> 00:07:48.040
<v Speaker 3>nine home runs, thirty seven stolen bases, and with any luck,

152
00:07:48.079 --> 00:07:49.360
<v Speaker 3>it could happen here against the album.

153
00:07:49.360 --> 00:07:51.040
<v Speaker 5>You know, it's really kind of crazy though, too, tim

154
00:07:51.040 --> 00:07:53.839
<v Speaker 5>You start to look at how o'tani has struggled the

155
00:07:53.920 --> 00:07:56.800
<v Speaker 5>last nineteen ball games, hitting at one point fifty and

156
00:07:56.839 --> 00:07:59.560
<v Speaker 5>yet he's still hit seven home runs in that period

157
00:07:59.560 --> 00:08:02.920
<v Speaker 5>of time. He gets walks, he steals bases, he scores

158
00:08:03.040 --> 00:08:05.519
<v Speaker 5>run in spite of a very low banding average.

159
00:08:05.519 --> 00:08:07.600
<v Speaker 3>He's forward in back to back games coming into this

199
00:10:27.639 --> 00:10:30.200
<v Speaker 2>Hey, Kirston now joins us from the stadium. A busy

200
00:10:30.320 --> 00:10:32.879
<v Speaker 2>day for the Dodgers, Kirston. They come back off this

201
00:10:33.000 --> 00:10:36.039
<v Speaker 2>seven game road trip. We got some injuries and we

202
00:10:36.159 --> 00:10:39.200
<v Speaker 2>got some returns. It's been a busy day for roster moves.

203
00:10:39.360 --> 00:10:41.919
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, it really has been. So we'll start with the injuries.

204
00:10:42.080 --> 00:10:44.879
<v Speaker 7>So we know that yesterday Freddy Freeman, he was down.

205
00:10:45.080 --> 00:10:49.000
<v Speaker 7>He kind of jammed his finger in the game over

206
00:10:49.039 --> 00:10:51.440
<v Speaker 7>the weekend against the Cardinals. So he actually has a

207
00:10:51.440 --> 00:10:55.440
<v Speaker 7>hairline fracture. So he was down yesterday, but they were

208
00:10:55.440 --> 00:10:56.759
<v Speaker 7>trying to figure out if this was going to be

209
00:10:56.759 --> 00:10:59.080
<v Speaker 7>an ilstin for him, have some scans, as I mentioned,

210
00:10:59.080 --> 00:11:01.159
<v Speaker 7>percent at the fracture, but he's actually gonna be good

211
00:11:01.159 --> 00:11:03.679
<v Speaker 7>to go, so he's playing through it. He's kind of

212
00:11:03.799 --> 00:11:06.120
<v Speaker 7>very I'd have to imagine a very high pain tolerance

213
00:11:06.159 --> 00:11:08.639
<v Speaker 7>because I couldn't imagine doing anything with a hairline fracture.

214
00:11:09.039 --> 00:11:11.960
<v Speaker 7>But so he's back in there playing at first and

215
00:11:12.080 --> 00:11:14.960
<v Speaker 7>he will continue as such just while allowing that to heal.

216
00:11:15.440 --> 00:11:18.480
<v Speaker 7>With Austin Barnes, he's also dealing with a fracture, but

217
00:11:18.559 --> 00:11:21.080
<v Speaker 7>his is in his big toe, so after taking the

218
00:11:21.080 --> 00:11:25.440
<v Speaker 7>foull ball off of his foot yesterday. It's bandaged up

219
00:11:25.440 --> 00:11:28.799
<v Speaker 7>today and so he is going on the IL. Dave

220
00:11:28.879 --> 00:11:31.240
<v Speaker 7>Roberts he's very optimistic though that it's just going to

221
00:11:31.279 --> 00:11:33.559
<v Speaker 7>be the traditional stint. It shouldn't be any longer and

222
00:11:33.639 --> 00:11:35.960
<v Speaker 7>hopefully that toe will heal, but it's just gonna meet

223
00:11:36.000 --> 00:11:38.440
<v Speaker 7>a little bit of time. So those are the two

224
00:11:38.519 --> 00:11:40.679
<v Speaker 7>kind of big injuries when it comes to guys, But

225
00:11:40.720 --> 00:11:42.960
<v Speaker 7>that means a lot of roster moves, as you were mentioning.

226
00:11:43.039 --> 00:11:46.840
<v Speaker 7>So Austin going on the IL, that means Hunter Fidusha

227
00:11:46.919 --> 00:11:49.879
<v Speaker 7>is here. And then we've got some guys who are returning,

228
00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:52.320
<v Speaker 7>just finally back helping that Smax Munsey as well as

229
00:11:52.360 --> 00:11:54.600
<v Speaker 7>Tommy Edmund, so we'll be seeing him make his Dodger

230
00:11:54.679 --> 00:11:55.679
<v Speaker 7>debut this evening.

231
00:11:55.840 --> 00:11:58.159
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm very excited to see Tommy Edmund when they

232
00:11:58.159 --> 00:12:02.279
<v Speaker 2>acquired him at the deadline. Brandon Gomes and Andrew Freeman

233
00:12:02.360 --> 00:12:05.639
<v Speaker 2>both excited about the versatility that he brings to this team.

234
00:12:05.720 --> 00:12:08.279
<v Speaker 2>For maxi months, it almost feels like we haven't seen

235
00:12:08.320 --> 00:12:10.240
<v Speaker 2>him at all this year. It's been so long since

236
00:12:10.279 --> 00:12:10.799
<v Speaker 2>he's played.

237
00:12:11.080 --> 00:12:13.080
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, it's been so long. There's also just been like

238
00:12:13.720 --> 00:12:15.559
<v Speaker 7>a lot of unknown. You know, there was a moment

239
00:12:15.600 --> 00:12:19.200
<v Speaker 7>where he just with that oblique strain, he wasn't necessarily

240
00:12:19.240 --> 00:12:21.480
<v Speaker 7>healing and it's taking a lot of time or he'd

241
00:12:21.519 --> 00:12:24.200
<v Speaker 7>have a setback. And then finally he saw the chiropractor

242
00:12:24.519 --> 00:12:26.600
<v Speaker 7>and he really just turned a corner from there. We've

243
00:12:26.639 --> 00:12:28.440
<v Speaker 7>been seeing him, whether it's been getting a lot of

244
00:12:28.480 --> 00:12:31.639
<v Speaker 7>reps here running the diamond, if it's been taking some swings.

245
00:12:31.679 --> 00:12:34.000
<v Speaker 7>Then he went on his rehab assignment, so he comes

246
00:12:34.039 --> 00:12:36.159
<v Speaker 7>back and a really good spot. Even just talking to

247
00:12:36.240 --> 00:12:38.480
<v Speaker 7>him earlier, he was just like I he was like,

248
00:12:38.519 --> 00:12:40.159
<v Speaker 7>I'm so ready to be back, Like he's just thrilled

249
00:12:40.240 --> 00:12:42.799
<v Speaker 7>to be out here playing meaningful baseball again. And then

250
00:12:42.840 --> 00:12:45.559
<v Speaker 7>you have someone like Tommy Edmond, who you know, it's

251
00:12:45.600 --> 00:12:48.600
<v Speaker 7>been a long year of recovery for him, so coming

252
00:12:48.679 --> 00:12:50.519
<v Speaker 7>back from whether it was the surgery and then an

253
00:12:50.559 --> 00:12:54.440
<v Speaker 7>ankle injury, starting his rehab assignment with a different organization

254
00:12:54.600 --> 00:12:56.919
<v Speaker 7>than being traded, so you know, it's felt like this

255
00:12:57.000 --> 00:12:59.360
<v Speaker 7>has been a long time coming for him. But Dave

256
00:12:59.440 --> 00:13:02.120
<v Speaker 7>Roberts was saying as well as Tommy today that the

257
00:13:02.159 --> 00:13:04.759
<v Speaker 7>plan so he's in center field Tonight's got a bunch

258
00:13:04.840 --> 00:13:08.480
<v Speaker 7>of families. Moms actually from so they're Los Angeles and

259
00:13:08.519 --> 00:13:10.039
<v Speaker 7>grew up as a Dodgers fan, So they've got a

260
00:13:10.080 --> 00:13:12.360
<v Speaker 7>lot of family that's going to be here tonight. And

261
00:13:12.440 --> 00:13:16.799
<v Speaker 7>then he's actually gonna be at Shortstop tomorrow, so we'll

262
00:13:16.840 --> 00:13:19.639
<v Speaker 7>be seeing him primarily in those two roles. Of course,

263
00:13:19.639 --> 00:13:21.679
<v Speaker 7>he does have that versatility, but it does seem like

264
00:13:21.759 --> 00:13:23.879
<v Speaker 7>that's gonna be kind of the key's parts for him,

265
00:13:24.360 --> 00:13:24.879
<v Speaker 7>a lot.

266
00:13:24.679 --> 00:13:27.120

306

307
00:15:25.919 --> 00:15:27.759
<v Speaker 2>to Dodger Stadium and check out with the Dodger Skipper.

308
00:15:27.960 --> 00:15:29.039
<v Speaker 8>Anything else, Dave?

309
00:15:29.080 --> 00:15:30.759
<v Speaker 4>Do you think the questions for Dave?

310
00:15:30.879 --> 00:15:33.879
<v Speaker 8>Dave? Can you just describe Dave? Can you talk about

311
00:15:33.879 --> 00:15:34.840
<v Speaker 8>the pressure.

312
00:15:35.279 --> 00:15:38.480
<v Speaker 1>In the dugouts with Dave Roberts.

313
00:15:38.559 --> 00:15:44.559
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, we had to dfa Nick Ahmed, which Nick was

314
00:15:44.559 --> 00:15:46.440
<v Speaker 9>was great for us, and it's one of those things

315
00:15:46.440 --> 00:15:49.360
<v Speaker 9>that was the numbers thing, and then we optioned Andy

316
00:15:49.399 --> 00:15:53.080
<v Speaker 9>Pahes and so that's one of those things that because

317
00:15:53.159 --> 00:15:55.639
<v Speaker 9>he has options and you just don't want to lose

318
00:15:55.679 --> 00:15:57.919
<v Speaker 9>a player. So it made the most sense. And I

319
00:15:58.000 --> 00:16:01.080
<v Speaker 9>just didn't see Andy getting a lot of opportunities and

320
00:16:01.120 --> 00:16:03.919
<v Speaker 9>the next, you know, till we get to September first

321
00:16:05.279 --> 00:16:11.799
<v Speaker 9>get those Yeah, yeah, yeah, Tommy's gonna play center field tonight,

322
00:16:12.759 --> 00:16:15.960
<v Speaker 9>He'll play short tomorrow. We'll give Mickey Road the off

323
00:16:16.039 --> 00:16:19.519
<v Speaker 9>day tomorrow, and then he'll be back out there in centerfield.

324
00:16:19.600 --> 00:16:22.840
<v Speaker 9>So that's kind of how I see it. And you know,

325
00:16:22.879 --> 00:16:24.159
<v Speaker 9>it's good to have these guys back.

326
00:16:24.399 --> 00:16:26.399
<v Speaker 4>Is Hey, we're gonna be look like three centers.

327
00:16:26.440 --> 00:16:28.039
<v Speaker 2>He just kind of coming off the bench.

328
00:16:27.879 --> 00:16:28.279
<v Speaker 8>For the time.

329
00:16:28.919 --> 00:16:31.679
<v Speaker 9>I think it's uh. I like him taking balls out

330
00:16:31.720 --> 00:16:34.639
<v Speaker 9>in centerfield to give us some options. I see him

331
00:16:34.679 --> 00:16:37.519
<v Speaker 9>off the bench, and you know, if there's an opportunity

332
00:16:37.519 --> 00:16:39.600
<v Speaker 9>to get a start here or there, you know, I'll

333
00:16:39.639 --> 00:16:42.919
<v Speaker 9>do that. But you know, right now, it's hard to

334
00:16:43.279 --> 00:16:46.120
<v Speaker 9>you know, sit Mookie and then Tommy's coming back. He's

335
00:16:46.120 --> 00:16:48.519
<v Speaker 9>a switch hitter, so I want to get him out there.

336
00:16:48.879 --> 00:16:49.200
<v Speaker 1>All right.

337
00:16:49.240 --> 00:16:51.360
<v Speaker 2>There's Dave Roberts down the dugout talking a little bit

<v Speaker 4>I accept everybody for who they are.

357
00:17:51.079 --> 00:17:54.240
<v Speaker 1>This is Dodger insider David Basse.

358
00:17:54.720 --> 00:17:57.839
<v Speaker 2>All right, David Freddie Freeman doesn't go on the injured list. Yeah,

359
00:17:57.839 --> 00:18:00.519
<v Speaker 2>he's got a hairline fracture in his finger. How is this.

360
00:18:01.279 --> 00:18:04.240
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, well, he had a CT scan earlier today and

361
00:18:04.279 --> 00:18:07.119
<v Speaker 10>that's what it revealed on his right middle finger. But

362
00:18:07.240 --> 00:18:09.880
<v Speaker 10>I felt like things were trending in the right direction

363
00:18:10.119 --> 00:18:12.440
<v Speaker 10>for Freddy because he wants to be out there no

364
00:18:12.480 --> 00:18:12.880
<v Speaker 10>matter what.

365
00:18:13.160 --> 00:18:15.880
<v Speaker 4>As evidenced by tonight. He came out to.

366
00:18:15.759 --> 00:18:20.599
<v Speaker 10>Do his usual pregame ritual workout with Dino Ebol and

367
00:18:20.759 --> 00:18:25.079
<v Speaker 10>the wrapping around his right middle finger was significantly less

368
00:18:25.559 --> 00:18:28.880
<v Speaker 10>than what we saw yesterday in Saint Louis. Then he

369
00:18:28.960 --> 00:18:32.400
<v Speaker 10>came back out here with Dodgers head trinner Thomas Albert.

370
00:18:32.640 --> 00:18:35.240
<v Speaker 10>Seemed like he was trying to check boxes and convince

371
00:18:35.319 --> 00:18:38.200
<v Speaker 10>him that he can do this by fielding and playing

372
00:18:38.279 --> 00:18:42.240
<v Speaker 10>catch because that is his throwing hand, and then down

373
00:18:42.319 --> 00:18:44.880
<v Speaker 10>inside in the batting cage, he showed him he could

374
00:18:44.880 --> 00:18:47.880
<v Speaker 10>swing a bat. So that's the reason why Freddie Freeman

375
00:18:48.240 --> 00:18:51.160
<v Speaker 10>avoided the injured list and is in the starting lineup tonight.

376
00:18:51.319 --> 00:18:53.240
<v Speaker 2>David has driven by four and there's one thing we like,

377
00:18:53.319 --> 00:18:55.759
<v Speaker 2>its choices find yours with the F one fifty gas

378
00:18:55.799 --> 00:18:58.359
<v Speaker 2>hybrid all electric tough this March, he'll only be called

379
00:18:58.519 --> 00:19:01.480
<v Speaker 2>F one fifty Max DV. He's back.

380
00:19:02.200 --> 00:19:03.720
<v Speaker 4>He is back for the first time.

381
00:19:03.799 --> 00:19:08.079
<v Speaker 10>Since May fifteenth, it's been quite a saga for Max

382
00:19:08.160 --> 00:19:11.680
<v Speaker 10>month sy with the oblique strain and then he described

383
00:19:11.720 --> 00:19:16.519
<v Speaker 10>a chiropractic adjustment that put him over the hump to recovery.

384
00:19:17.079 --> 00:19:20.880
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, it was very frustrating. Just everything about it was frustrating.

385
00:19:22.160 --> 00:19:26.359
<v Speaker 11>You know, there there was an oblique issue that healed,

386
00:19:26.400 --> 00:19:28.559
<v Speaker 11>and then I had a bottom rib that was out

387
00:19:28.559 --> 00:19:31.200
<v Speaker 11>of place that was causing a lot of damage. We

388
00:19:31.279 --> 00:19:33.440
<v Speaker 11>thought it was a bottom rib issue from the beginning,

389
00:19:34.160 --> 00:19:37.000
<v Speaker 11>and I was getting adjusted from chiropractors and you know,

390
00:19:37.039 --> 00:19:40.920
<v Speaker 11>it just wasn't never getting set properly. And so you know,

391
00:19:41.160 --> 00:19:43.920
<v Speaker 11>I'd start start doing rehab. I'd have two three really

392
00:19:43.960 --> 00:19:46.920
<v Speaker 11>good days of swinging ball, becoming off hot, you know,

393
00:19:47.079 --> 00:19:49.519
<v Speaker 11>no pain in the swing at all, batspeed'd be great,

394
00:19:49.559 --> 00:19:51.480
<v Speaker 11>and then I'd wake up on a third or fourth

395
00:19:51.559 --> 00:19:53.759
<v Speaker 11>day and I'd feel like day one of injury, and

396
00:19:54.039 --> 00:19:55.680
<v Speaker 11>you know, we'd we had to start back over and

397
00:19:56.240 --> 00:19:57.759
<v Speaker 11>you know, go back to the drawing board, see what

398
00:19:57.799 --> 00:19:59.960
<v Speaker 11>was going on, get go, get more scans. And you know,

399
00:20:00.039 --> 00:20:02.440
<v Speaker 11>that process obviously happened three or four times for us,

400
00:20:02.480 --> 00:20:06.440
<v Speaker 11>and so you know, finally we got it set right

401
00:20:06.680 --> 00:20:08.880
<v Speaker 11>and then I got an injection the next day, and

402
00:20:09.519 --> 00:20:11.240
<v Speaker 11>after that it was almost like I.

403
00:20:11.160 --> 00:20:12.400
<v Speaker 8>Was never hurt before, you know.

404
00:20:12.440 --> 00:20:14.960
<v Speaker 11>And so that's why the process since that has been

405
00:20:15.000 --> 00:20:15.559
<v Speaker 11>pretty quick.

406
00:20:16.400 --> 00:20:16.519
<v Speaker 8>You know.

407
00:20:16.519 --> 00:20:18.559
<v Speaker 11>Obviously I was gone for a week, but after three months,

408
00:20:18.559 --> 00:20:20.559
<v Speaker 11>that's a you know, you kind of need that time

409
00:20:20.599 --> 00:20:22.480
<v Speaker 11>to get built back up for you know, your timing

410
00:20:22.519 --> 00:20:24.359
<v Speaker 11>and being out on your feet out there on the.

411
00:20:24.359 --> 00:20:27.079
<v Speaker 10>Infield all right, max months. He gets to start at

412
00:20:27.119 --> 00:20:29.759
<v Speaker 10>third base tonight. Happy to have him back, Tim.

413
00:20:30.079 --> 00:20:34.200
<v Speaker 2>Dave, Justin Turner, he's back at Dodger Stadium. Is there

414
00:20:34.200 --> 00:20:37.240
<v Speaker 2>ever a possibility Justin Turner finishes his career, maybe in

415
00:20:37.240 --> 00:20:38.480
<v Speaker 2>a Dodger uniform.

416
00:20:38.519 --> 00:20:41.960
<v Speaker 10>Well, he's thirty nine years old. His contract expires at

417
00:20:41.960 --> 00:20:43.519
<v Speaker 10>the end of this year. It was a one year

418
00:20:43.599 --> 00:20:46.279
<v Speaker 10>contract with the Blue Jays. He has told me in

419
00:20:46.319 --> 00:20:49.640
<v Speaker 10>the past he wants to play through his forty year

420
00:20:49.680 --> 00:20:53.160
<v Speaker 10>old season, which is next year. Obviously, I asked him

421
00:20:53.160 --> 00:20:56.279
<v Speaker 10>earlier today whether or not he would be open to

422
00:20:56.400 --> 00:20:59.200
<v Speaker 10>a reunion and to retire as a Dodger.

423
00:20:59.680 --> 00:20:59.880
<v Speaker 8>Yeah.

424
00:21:00.039 --> 00:21:02.599
<v Speaker 12>Again, that that's stuff that's kind of out of my control.

425
00:21:02.640 --> 00:21:05.000
<v Speaker 12>I can want, I can want a lot of things,

426
00:21:05.359 --> 00:21:08.839
<v Speaker 12>but the stars kind of got a line and and

427
00:21:09.279 --> 00:21:12.200
<v Speaker 12>but that would certainly be I followed along all this

428
00:21:12.200 --> 00:21:15.640
<v Speaker 12>stuff last week with with Matt coming back and signing

429
00:21:15.640 --> 00:21:18.359
<v Speaker 12>the one day contract, and I shot him a text

430
00:21:18.400 --> 00:21:20.400
<v Speaker 12>and told him I was sad I wasn't able there

431
00:21:20.519 --> 00:21:23.359
<v Speaker 12>to be there to celebrate with him. But I think

432
00:21:23.359 --> 00:21:25.920
<v Speaker 12>that's something certainly that would that would be pretty special.

433
00:21:26.359 --> 00:21:30.720
<v Speaker 10>Hey, I'm not thinking about a ceremonial one day retirement, Tim,

434
00:21:31.000 --> 00:21:33.240
<v Speaker 10>it would be great to have Justin Turner on this

435
00:21:33.359 --> 00:21:37.160
<v Speaker 10>Dodger bench next year to play the David Freeze or

436
00:21:37.279 --> 00:21:40.519
<v Speaker 10>Chase Sentley role for a veteran team that may or

437
00:21:40.559 --> 00:21:42.759
<v Speaker 10>may not be trying to defend their championship.

438
00:21:42.799 --> 00:21:44.200
<v Speaker 2>Let's put it out there in the world see if

439
00:21:44.240 --> 00:21:46.480
<v Speaker 2>it can happen next season. Dave appreciate it. We'll check

488
00:24:29.279 --> 00:24:34.039
<v Speaker 1>broadcaster and World Series champion Dodger Rick Monday.

489
00:24:34.400 --> 00:24:37.519
<v Speaker 10>Well, Rick Monday, you missed dinner last night in southern

490
00:24:37.559 --> 00:24:42.200
<v Speaker 10>California because the Dodger charter was four hours delayed.

491
00:24:42.480 --> 00:24:46.400
<v Speaker 5>Well oops, but here's the deal. FAA will not allow

492
00:24:46.480 --> 00:24:49.759
<v Speaker 5>the airliner to take off without an active and operating

493
00:24:50.319 --> 00:24:53.720
<v Speaker 5>radar system and it just went down. And kudos, by

494
00:24:53.799 --> 00:24:58.279
<v Speaker 5>the way to our magnificent in Cabins flight crews. They're

495
00:24:58.319 --> 00:25:01.480
<v Speaker 5>absolutely terrific. Second time, the Dodgers have had some delays,

496
00:25:01.480 --> 00:25:02.960
<v Speaker 5>so we had to wait for an airplane to come

497
00:25:02.960 --> 00:25:06.680
<v Speaker 5>in from Chicago and then transfer everything from one plane

498
00:25:06.680 --> 00:25:09.000
<v Speaker 5>to the other plane. Finally took off and got here

499
00:25:09.440 --> 00:25:13.000
<v Speaker 5>safe and sound. It's nice to see you back. Evidently

500
00:25:13.000 --> 00:25:15.079
<v Speaker 5>they kick you off the television side, so now you're

501
00:25:15.119 --> 00:25:17.319
<v Speaker 5>just doing the radio. But it is nice to be

502
00:25:17.400 --> 00:25:21.119
<v Speaker 5>back and talking about being back, the Dodgers have some

503
00:25:21.200 --> 00:25:22.720
<v Speaker 5>new faces in uniform tonight.

504
00:25:23.119 --> 00:25:27.400
<v Speaker 10>Yes, finally players are getting healthy and they have a

505
00:25:27.519 --> 00:25:31.440
<v Speaker 10>very formidable one through nine with Max Munsey and Tommy

506
00:25:31.519 --> 00:25:32.119
<v Speaker 10>Edmond here.

507
00:25:32.559 --> 00:25:33.359
<v Speaker 8>It's going to be nice.

508
00:25:33.359 --> 00:25:37.319
<v Speaker 5>Also a tribute to Justin Turner, who will be recognized

509
00:25:37.880 --> 00:25:39.720
<v Speaker 5>before the ball game as well, with a little video

510
00:25:39.799 --> 00:25:43.000
<v Speaker 5>highlight even a lot to this Dodgery organization, and obviously

511
00:25:43.319 --> 00:25:45.440
<v Speaker 5>with the winning efforts too and part of the World

512
00:25:45.519 --> 00:25:49.480
<v Speaker 5>championship team as well. It's kind of strange to see

513
00:25:49.960 --> 00:25:52.519
<v Speaker 5>the former Dodgers come back in different uniforms. But for

514
00:25:53.000 --> 00:25:55.880
<v Speaker 5>Justin Turner maybe seems strange because this is the second

515
00:25:55.960 --> 00:25:57.200
<v Speaker 5>uniform he's worn this year.

516
00:25:57.480 --> 00:25:59.680
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, no doubt about it, Rick, And it feels like

517
00:26:00.200 --> 00:26:04.519
<v Speaker 10>the trajectory of his Dodger career was not something anybody expected.

518
00:26:05.200 --> 00:26:08.039
<v Speaker 5>Well, let me just kind of go because I know

519
00:26:08.200 --> 00:26:10.119
<v Speaker 5>you are a man of the arts to begin with.

520
00:26:10.319 --> 00:26:13.319
<v Speaker 5>Ye're talking about art work itself, and so I told

521
00:26:13.319 --> 00:26:15.000
<v Speaker 5>you this look, I got a little surprised for you

522
00:26:15.039 --> 00:26:18.920
<v Speaker 5>because it was on this date. Norman Rockwell has done

523
00:26:19.039 --> 00:26:22.240
<v Speaker 5>and been known for so many different magnificent paintings that

524
00:26:22.279 --> 00:26:24.799
<v Speaker 5>he's done over the years, and it was on this

525
00:26:25.000 --> 00:26:28.839
<v Speaker 5>date that actually a Dodger game had an influence on

526
00:26:29.640 --> 00:26:33.279
<v Speaker 5>just a magnificent work of art by Norman Rockwell.

527
00:26:33.319 --> 00:26:33.440
<v Speaker 8>Well.

528
00:26:33.480 --> 00:26:36.119
<v Speaker 5>Here's the backstory to it. It was nineteen forty one.

529
00:26:36.960 --> 00:26:40.359
<v Speaker 5>Frankie Frish was the manager of the Pittsburgh Pirates. It

530
00:26:40.480 --> 00:26:43.200
<v Speaker 5>was the second game of a double header at abbotts Field.

531
00:26:43.759 --> 00:26:47.279
<v Speaker 5>Jack o'connlin was the home played umpire. It was cold,

532
00:26:47.599 --> 00:26:50.599
<v Speaker 5>it was raining. Frish wanted the game to be cold

533
00:26:50.640 --> 00:26:53.720
<v Speaker 5>because his pirates were trailing in the ballgame. So he

534
00:26:53.920 --> 00:26:56.880
<v Speaker 5>came out and said, all my players are going to

535
00:26:57.039 --> 00:27:00.200
<v Speaker 5>get pneumonia because of you, Jocko. You haven't got the

536
00:27:00.240 --> 00:27:03.240
<v Speaker 5>guts to call this game. But here's how Frish went

537
00:27:03.279 --> 00:27:07.279
<v Speaker 5>to the home plate. He was carrying an umbrella as

538
00:27:07.279 --> 00:27:11.039
<v Speaker 5>he went and argued he was thrown out of the ballgame. Well,

539
00:27:11.079 --> 00:27:14.119
<v Speaker 5>it was that setting at Ebbottsfield on this date in

540
00:27:14.200 --> 00:27:18.480
<v Speaker 5>nineteen forty one that was really the bases and inspired

541
00:27:18.559 --> 00:27:21.680
<v Speaker 5>Norman Rockwell to the famous oil painting with the three

542
00:27:21.759 --> 00:27:25.680
<v Speaker 5>umpires standing looking up into the rain. In the background

543
00:27:25.720 --> 00:27:30.039
<v Speaker 5>on the right is someone in uniform. That's Frankie Frish

544
00:27:30.359 --> 00:27:34.400
<v Speaker 5>who was arguing. And the name of that painting bottom

545
00:27:34.440 --> 00:27:37.240
<v Speaker 5>of the six. And for all baseball fans, that's a

546
00:27:37.319 --> 00:27:40.799
<v Speaker 5>background on how this painting was influenced, and it was

547
00:27:40.920 --> 00:27:45.519
<v Speaker 5>influence on this date, nineteen forty one, Dodgers Empirates at Ebbittsfield.

548
00:27:45.680 --> 00:27:49.319
<v Speaker 10>I've seen that Rockwell painting before, but obviously did not

549
00:27:49.519 --> 00:27:51.200
<v Speaker 10>know that much detail about it.

550
00:27:51.240 --> 00:27:52.160
<v Speaker 4>That's why we come to you.

551
00:27:52.359 --> 00:27:54.559
<v Speaker 5>Well, I'll stick around Bell, I'll tell you about radars

552
00:27:54.599 --> 00:27:55.839
<v Speaker 5>on the plane, and I can tell.

553
00:27:55.680 --> 00:27:56.720
<v Speaker 8>You about the oil paintings.

554
00:27:57.039 --> 00:27:59.160
<v Speaker 5>By the way, you are an oil painting yourself.

555
00:27:59.319 --> 00:28:01.440

00:29:59.400 --> 00:30:02.240
<v Speaker 14>just playing a VA. So no, it's it's awesome to

599
00:30:02.240 --> 00:30:02.599
<v Speaker 14>be here.

600
00:30:03.039 --> 00:30:05.000
<v Speaker 10>When did you get the word that you were going

601
00:30:05.039 --> 00:30:06.680
<v Speaker 10>to come to Los Angeles?

602
00:30:07.599 --> 00:30:08.880
<v Speaker 8>Yesterday? Around noon?

603
00:30:09.079 --> 00:30:11.960
<v Speaker 14>So yeah, I got all my stuff together, flew out

604
00:30:12.079 --> 00:30:14.599
<v Speaker 14>around eight o'clock, and now I'm here.

605
00:30:15.119 --> 00:30:18.119
<v Speaker 10>You've obviously been in the organization for a while. When

606
00:30:18.200 --> 00:30:20.759
<v Speaker 10>the World Baseball Classic was going on, you caught a

607
00:30:20.799 --> 00:30:24.640
<v Speaker 10>lot of spring games. Do you feel like the time

608
00:30:24.720 --> 00:30:28.799
<v Speaker 10>is now. Your preparation has given you the opportunity.

609
00:30:28.480 --> 00:30:31.279
<v Speaker 14>Right, Yeah, it's definitely a comforting filling knowing that I've

610
00:30:31.440 --> 00:30:34.640
<v Speaker 14>caught most of these guys and spent last over this

611
00:30:34.720 --> 00:30:37.759
<v Speaker 14>past spring there and getting to know everyone, and yeah,

612
00:30:37.799 --> 00:30:40.960
<v Speaker 14>it's definitely a comforting filling. I'm still got some work

613
00:30:41.000 --> 00:30:43.799
<v Speaker 14>to do to, you know, catch all the some new

614
00:30:43.880 --> 00:30:48.039
<v Speaker 14>faces too, but no, we're moving in the right direction.

615
00:30:48.079 --> 00:30:49.279
<v Speaker 8>I'm happy to be here.

616
00:30:49.480 --> 00:30:51.799
<v Speaker 10>Max Munsey just joked when they let you know you

617
00:30:51.839 --> 00:30:54.200
<v Speaker 10>had to come to LA they wanted him to go

618
00:30:54.279 --> 00:30:55.279
<v Speaker 10>catch some bullpens.

619
00:30:57.160 --> 00:30:57.640
<v Speaker 8>Yeah haven't.

620
00:30:57.720 --> 00:30:59.799
<v Speaker 14>I haven't heard a word on that, but that's that's funny,

621
00:30:59.799 --> 00:31:01.359
<v Speaker 14>that's good, Yeah, Hunter.

622
00:31:01.640 --> 00:31:03.880
<v Speaker 10>The Dodgers have called up a lot of the pictures

623
00:31:03.920 --> 00:31:07.240
<v Speaker 10>that you have caught at Oklahoma City. Gavin Stone is

624
00:31:07.279 --> 00:31:10.160
<v Speaker 10>on the mountain tonight. How impressed are you with the

625
00:31:10.160 --> 00:31:12.640
<v Speaker 10>way their growth has come along so quickly?

626
00:31:12.880 --> 00:31:14.559
<v Speaker 8>Right, No, it's it's very impressive.

627
00:31:15.759 --> 00:31:17.759
<v Speaker 14>You know, I think he was two drafts after me,

628
00:31:17.920 --> 00:31:22.599
<v Speaker 14>and you know, he started off in I think Hya

629
00:31:22.759 --> 00:31:25.119
<v Speaker 14>when I was in Double A, So you know, he

630
00:31:25.160 --> 00:31:28.559
<v Speaker 14>came through, he progressed, you know, learned a new pitch

631
00:31:28.640 --> 00:31:30.960
<v Speaker 14>and just kind of took off from that. So it's

632
00:31:31.039 --> 00:31:34.519
<v Speaker 14>it's awesome to see him, you know, throwing well in

633
00:31:34.559 --> 00:31:36.799
<v Speaker 14>the big leagues, you know, and everything.

634
00:31:36.839 --> 00:31:38.160
<v Speaker 8>It's it's been called.

635
00:31:38.200 --> 00:31:40.759
<v Speaker 10>What makes him so special because it seems like this

636
00:31:40.799 --> 00:31:43.319
<v Speaker 10>spring training he came back a new guy.

637
00:31:43.759 --> 00:31:45.000
<v Speaker 4>Did you see that as well?

638
00:31:45.279 --> 00:31:46.279
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, definitely.

639
00:31:46.960 --> 00:31:49.200
<v Speaker 14>You know, I don't know what he did during the offseason,

640
00:31:49.240 --> 00:31:51.720
<v Speaker 14>but you know, it seemed like his his velos staying.

641
00:31:52.079 --> 00:31:54.480
<v Speaker 14>He's way more confident on the mound. You know, he

642
00:31:54.519 --> 00:31:58.240
<v Speaker 14>has his change up. I noticed his slider. They might

643
00:31:58.240 --> 00:32:00.640
<v Speaker 14>have tweaked some few things with his slide. Sawyer looks

644
00:32:00.640 --> 00:32:02.880
<v Speaker 14>a lot better this year, and you know, he's moving

645
00:32:02.880 --> 00:32:05.559
<v Speaker 14>the ball now all over the plate. He has the

646
00:32:05.599 --> 00:32:08.079
<v Speaker 14>sinker now, so he has a few more options in

647
00:32:08.880 --> 00:32:09.759
<v Speaker 14>a year or two ago.

648
00:32:09.920 --> 00:32:12.599
<v Speaker 8>So yeah, he's doing well and proud of him.

649
00:32:12.680 --> 00:32:15.039
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, another one of your pitchers was called up a

650
00:32:15.039 --> 00:32:18.079
<v Speaker 10>couple of days ago, Ben Caspiraus. What can you tell

651
00:32:18.160 --> 00:32:20.839
<v Speaker 10>us about him? Because out here in LA we're not

652
00:32:21.079 --> 00:32:24.440
<v Speaker 10>like these bloggers. We're not keeping tabs on every single pitch.

653
00:32:24.359 --> 00:32:26.839
<v Speaker 14>Right, So I've I think I've caught two of his

654
00:32:26.960 --> 00:32:31.079
<v Speaker 14>starts so far. Very impressive, has really good stuff. I

655
00:32:31.079 --> 00:32:34.599
<v Speaker 14>would say his best is probably a spin. He's able

656
00:32:34.599 --> 00:32:37.720
<v Speaker 14>to spin the ball well, you know, relentless in the

657
00:32:37.759 --> 00:32:39.519
<v Speaker 14>strike zone, and he comes right.

658
00:32:39.400 --> 00:32:42.200
<v Speaker 8>After you with good stuff. So I'm excited to watch

659
00:32:42.240 --> 00:32:42.960
<v Speaker 8>him pitch.

660
00:32:43.000 --> 00:32:45.759
<v Speaker 10>Also, does all this make it a little bit more

661
00:32:45.799 --> 00:32:48.720
<v Speaker 10>comfortable for you because so many of the same guys

662
00:32:48.759 --> 00:32:52.319
<v Speaker 10>that you were with in the miners are here already.

663
00:32:52.039 --> 00:32:56.039
<v Speaker 14>Yeah, one hundred percent, and you know, seeing them grow

664
00:32:56.079 --> 00:32:59.079
<v Speaker 14>it's been awesome, you know, And having a better feel

665
00:32:59.160 --> 00:33:01.279
<v Speaker 14>if I do get in aaron have to catch them,

666
00:33:01.279 --> 00:33:05.039
<v Speaker 14>you know, I'm a little more comfortable. But yeah, it's

667
00:33:05.039 --> 00:33:08.160
<v Speaker 14>definitely a comforting feeling, and you know, I've got to

668
00:33:08.160 --> 00:33:11.039
<v Speaker 14>see all these guys in spring too, So just in general, like,

669
00:33:11.079 --> 00:33:15.039
<v Speaker 14>I feel good the short time I was up from

670
00:33:15.440 --> 00:33:18.680
<v Speaker 14>Houston and San Diego, I got to catch a lot

671
00:33:18.720 --> 00:33:21.599
<v Speaker 14>of bullpens and you know, meet new faces.

672
00:33:21.640 --> 00:33:23.960
<v Speaker 8>So yeah, feel good Hunter.

673
00:33:24.240 --> 00:33:27.279
<v Speaker 10>When people ask me about you, Hunter Fiduccia's our guest

674
00:33:27.279 --> 00:33:30.480
<v Speaker 10>here before first Pitch. He is now active as Austin

675
00:33:30.519 --> 00:33:33.359
<v Speaker 10>Barnes goes on to il. When people ask me, what

676
00:33:33.400 --> 00:33:36.279
<v Speaker 10>can you tell me about Hunter Fiduccia, all I refer

677
00:33:36.359 --> 00:33:39.279
<v Speaker 10>to is Clayton Kershaw a couple of years ago saying

678
00:33:39.319 --> 00:33:41.400
<v Speaker 10>he liked throwing to you. That's got to be the

679
00:33:41.400 --> 00:33:42.440
<v Speaker 10>greatest validation.

680
00:33:42.640 --> 00:33:44.920
<v Speaker 14>Yeah, I think that's where it all started a couple

681
00:33:44.960 --> 00:33:48.160
<v Speaker 14>of years ago. Getting that validation. That's awesome. You know,

682
00:33:48.160 --> 00:33:51.200
<v Speaker 14>I've watched them since I was a kid, and you know,

683
00:33:51.279 --> 00:33:53.400
<v Speaker 14>getting to catch them and work with them is it

684
00:33:53.519 --> 00:33:55.920
<v Speaker 14>was awesome. So yeah, that was kind of a kickstart

685
00:33:55.960 --> 00:33:56.920
<v Speaker 14>to the whole thing.

686
00:33:57.079 --> 00:33:57.559
<v Speaker 8>Yeah.

687
00:33:57.640 --> 00:34:00.960
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, I feel like when I say that the conversation ends,

688
00:34:00.960 --> 00:34:02.359
<v Speaker 10>they're like, Okay, he's.

689
00:34:02.279 --> 00:34:04.599
<v Speaker 8>Legit, right, Yeah, yeah, one hundred percent.

690
00:34:04.799 --> 00:34:08.199
<v Speaker 10>What did you learn that day catching him?

691
00:34:08.280 --> 00:34:10.880
<v Speaker 14>You know, I mean it's it's still the same game obviously,

692
00:34:11.119 --> 00:34:13.079
<v Speaker 14>I mean, Hall of Fame pitcher on the mountain. You're

693
00:34:14.239 --> 00:34:16.440
<v Speaker 14>I mean, you want to do well, You're not. I'm

694
00:34:16.480 --> 00:34:18.559
<v Speaker 14>trying not to be so nervous and worked up.

695
00:34:18.480 --> 00:34:21.360
<v Speaker 8>In the moment. You know, kind of live in the moment.

696
00:34:21.440 --> 00:34:23.519
<v Speaker 14>I think that would help me, you know when I

697
00:34:23.519 --> 00:34:27.679
<v Speaker 14>do end up catching one game and you know, just

698
00:34:27.719 --> 00:34:30.119
<v Speaker 14>live in the moment, take everything in and you know,

699
00:34:30.480 --> 00:34:33.519
<v Speaker 14>trust my game and the process with everything, and should

700
00:34:33.559 --> 00:34:33.920
<v Speaker 14>be fun.

701
00:34:34.440 --> 00:34:38.159
<v Speaker 10>Hey, don't forget about Hunter Fiduca's bat. There's a bat there,

702
00:34:38.280 --> 00:34:41.320
<v Speaker 10>left handed bat. People better not sleep on that.

703
00:34:41.400 --> 00:34:46.079
<v Speaker 14>Hunter. Yeah, it's been uh, yeah, it's been good. I'm

704
00:34:46.119 --> 00:34:49.480
<v Speaker 14>working tweaking some few things this year, you know, just

705
00:34:49.480 --> 00:34:51.320
<v Speaker 14>trying to put the ball in play, help the team win.

706
00:34:52.639 --> 00:34:53.880
<v Speaker 8>But yeah, awesome.

750
00:37:04.679 --> 00:37:07.800
<v Speaker 2>big leagues, making his fifteen start. He's been pretty good

751
00:37:07.800 --> 00:37:11.000
<v Speaker 2>out there for the Mariners. He's pitched six innings in

752
00:37:11.239 --> 00:37:14.280
<v Speaker 2>seven for seven in quality starts, allowing one or fewer

753
00:37:14.400 --> 00:37:17.599
<v Speaker 2>runs at nine of his fourteen starts this year. Last

754
00:37:17.599 --> 00:37:20.760
<v Speaker 2>time out, seven shutout innings, four hits, He struck out

755
00:37:20.800 --> 00:37:24.039
<v Speaker 2>six but got a no decision against the Detroit Tigers.

756
00:37:24.079 --> 00:37:26.760
<v Speaker 2>His three starts in the month of August twenty and

757
00:37:26.800 --> 00:37:29.840
<v Speaker 2>two third innings, three earned runs and a one point

758
00:37:29.920 --> 00:37:34.320
<v Speaker 2>three to one RA with nineteen strikeouts. Tonight his first

759
00:37:34.320 --> 00:37:38.079
<v Speaker 2>time ever facing the Dodgers. Gavin Stone on the mound

760
00:37:38.119 --> 00:37:39.920
<v Speaker 2>for the Dodgers. Think about where the Dodgers would be

761
00:37:40.079 --> 00:37:42.719
<v Speaker 2>if they didn't have him in the rotation. Since opening Day,

762
00:37:43.039 --> 00:37:45.400
<v Speaker 2>he leads the team and wins. He's ten and five

763
00:37:45.760 --> 00:37:48.880
<v Speaker 2>with a three sixty three ERRA. The twenty five year

764
00:37:48.920 --> 00:37:51.599
<v Speaker 2>old right hinder in his first full season now in

765
00:37:51.639 --> 00:37:54.639
<v Speaker 2>the big leagues after making eight appearances last year. In

766
00:37:54.679 --> 00:37:57.760
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty three, making his twenty third start of the season,

767
00:37:58.159 --> 00:38:02.159
<v Speaker 2>he has gone six plus innings and ten of the

768
00:38:02.199 --> 00:38:04.800
<v Speaker 2>twenty two starts he's made this season. Last time out,

769
00:38:05.159 --> 00:38:08.360
<v Speaker 2>five innings, one run, three hits, six strikeouts. That was

770
00:38:08.400 --> 00:38:11.159
<v Speaker 2>in a win against the Milwaukee Brewers. This would be

771
00:38:11.199 --> 00:38:13.719
<v Speaker 2>his first start ever against the Seattle Mariners, but he

772
00:38:13.840 --> 00:38:16.880
<v Speaker 2>has faced them once and that came in relief. Last

773
00:38:17.039 --> 00:38:22.519

788
00:39:21.519 --> 00:39:25.079
<v Speaker 2>head back out to the booth. Tim Neverett, Rick Monday, Guys.

789
00:39:25.039 --> 00:39:27.320
<v Speaker 3>Tim, thanks again, We count you down to the first pitch.

790
00:39:27.360 --> 00:39:30.199
<v Speaker 3>Look at the pitching matchups. Brian Wu. He's out of

791
00:39:30.239 --> 00:39:33.199
<v Speaker 3>count Poly San Louis obispo second year in the big

792
00:39:33.280 --> 00:39:36.159
<v Speaker 3>leagues five and one and a two O six to era.

793
00:39:36.400 --> 00:39:40.039
<v Speaker 3>He has been a bright spot for this Mariner rotation.

794
00:39:40.199 --> 00:39:44.960
<v Speaker 5>He has and for Gavin Stone, I think it basically

795
00:39:45.079 --> 00:39:48.039
<v Speaker 5>falls around being able to throw strikes to set up

796
00:39:48.079 --> 00:39:50.480
<v Speaker 5>the change up. He has an outstanding change up throws

797
00:39:50.480 --> 00:39:52.880
<v Speaker 5>at about thirty percent of the time. Dodgers have to

798
00:39:52.880 --> 00:39:55.119
<v Speaker 5>figure out, as you mentioned with Brian Wu, They've got

799
00:39:55.159 --> 00:39:56.840
<v Speaker 5>to figure out how to get on base. Wu has

800
00:39:56.880 --> 00:39:59.960
<v Speaker 5>given up zero earned runs in two of his lef

801
00:40:00.079 --> 00:40:02.639
<v Speaker 5>has three starts in overall just the two to zero

802
00:40:02.679 --> 00:40:06.280
<v Speaker 5>four batting average against. The Dodgers need to have very

803
00:40:06.480 --> 00:40:09.199
<v Speaker 5>thoughtful advanced We'll find about the newcomers, if you will,

804
00:40:09.280 --> 00:40:11.960
<v Speaker 5>that being Muncie and Edmund both in the lineup.

805
00:40:11.679 --> 00:40:14.559
<v Speaker 3>And Nikama had designated for as Simon, Andy Pah has

806
00:40:14.679 --> 00:40:17.840
<v Speaker 3>optioned to Triple A and Austin Barnes placed on the

807
00:40:17.880 --> 00:40:21.639
<v Speaker 3>injured list with a fractured left big toe. So those

808
00:40:21.639 --> 00:40:23.920
<v Speaker 3>are the roster moves for today. Is the Dodgers and

809
00:40:23.920 --> 00:40:26.280
<v Speaker 3>Mariners get set for the first game of this three

810
00:40:26.320 --> 00:40:26.880
<v Speaker 3>game series.

811
00:40:26.960 --> 00:40:29.320
<v Speaker 2>Dan all right, Dodgers start the night seventy three and

812
00:40:29.440 --> 00:40:32.679
<v Speaker 2>fifty two. They are three games up on the Padres,

813
00:40:32.679 --> 00:40:34.679
<v Speaker 2>who are in action as we speak, playing host of

814
00:40:34.679 --> 00:40:38.599
<v Speaker 2>the Minnesota Twins. They're actually feeding in Minnesota, already two

815
00:40:38.639 --> 00:40:41.079
<v Speaker 2>to one in the bottom half of the first inning. Meanwhile,

816
00:40:41.119 --> 00:40:44.719
<v Speaker 2>the Arizona Diamondbacks they have already won. Yeah, Arizona in

817
00:40:44.800 --> 00:40:48.639
<v Speaker 2>action down to Miami, they won nine to six being

818
00:40:48.679 --> 00:40:51.880
<v Speaker 2>the Marlin, so they're a half game closer now as

819
00:40:51.920 --> 00:40:55.079
<v Speaker 2>we speak, Arizona three and a half games back of

820
00:40:55.159 --> 00:40:57.800
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers. Of the Dodgers got themselves a nice little

821
00:40:57.880 --> 00:40:59.559
<v Speaker 2>race here. Got to keep pace with the win tonight

822
00:41:00.800 --> 00:41:05.000
<v Speaker 2>when we come back. First pitch, Dodgers, Mariners, enjoy this one.
