Top prospect Dalton Rushing called 37 00:01:42.640 --> 00:01:47.159 up from TRIPLEA Oklahoma City. Unfortunately that meant Austin Barnes 38 00:01:47.560 --> 00:01:50.719 designated it for assignment. More on that coming up throughout. 39 00:01:50.760 --> 00:01:53.200 Dodgers on Deck.

Well, last night, it was a 45 00:02:07.920 --> 00:02:10.159 sweet homecoming for one player. 46 00:02:10.520 --> 00:02:12.439 A long night though for the Dodgers. 47 00:02:12.599 --> 00:02:15.199 Landing knack up to start, the Dodger right hander win 48 00:02:15.240 --> 00:02:17.199 four and two third innings, gave him five runs on 49 00:02:17.319 --> 00:02:20.479 seven hits while striking out eight. Nac though got into 50 00:02:20.479 --> 00:02:22.919 trouble in the third, giving up a two run home 51 00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:26.759 run to Jacob Wilson at a Thousand Oaks High School Athletics. 52 00:02:26.840 --> 00:02:29.199 Up two to nothing in the bottom of the ending, though, 53 00:02:29.240 --> 00:02:32.719 the Dodgers got back one of those runs as Jacob 54 00:02:32.759 --> 00:02:35.479 Wilson had a defensive missque. 55 00:02:35.199 --> 00:02:38.199 Two oh ground ball to short Taylor's gonna come in 56 00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:42.120 and Wilson makes an Era full ball roll right up 57 00:02:42.159 --> 00:02:45.479 his arm. Mookie is safe and the Dodgers get on 58 00:02:45.479 --> 00:02:45.800 the board. 59 00:02:45.800 --> 00:02:46.639 It's two to one. 60 00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:49.560 An air from the shortstop Jacob Wilson on the ground 61 00:02:49.599 --> 00:02:52.439 ball for Mookie bets Chris Taylor scored and the Dodgers 62 00:02:52.439 --> 00:02:55.319 were down two to one. However, in the fifth, again 63 00:02:55.520 --> 00:02:58.120 Jacob Wilson at one thousand Oaks High School with a 64 00:02:58.199 --> 00:03:00.560 big blast and his return to la Hey. 65 00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:02.879 It was big League ready broke camp with the club 66 00:03:02.919 --> 00:03:04.800 this year. There goes the runner from first. This Baul 67 00:03:04.919 --> 00:03:08.280 swung on it hammered tape to the center field way back. 68 00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:09.560 It goes and it is. 69 00:03:09.560 --> 00:03:13.879 Gone, and Jacob Wilson has hit another two run home run. 70 00:03:14.479 --> 00:03:18.199 It is now four to one Athletics. Can you believe 71 00:03:18.240 --> 00:03:18.840 this kid? 72 00:03:19.000 --> 00:03:21.199 The second two run home run of the game for 73 00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:23.319 Jacob Wilson. Top tier play of the game brought to 74 00:03:23.319 --> 00:03:26.400 you by ARCO Quality, top tier gas for less as 75 00:03:26.439 --> 00:03:28.439 the Athletics had a four to one lead, later in 76 00:03:28.479 --> 00:03:30.039 the inning of the eighth with a two run double 77 00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:32.960 from Lawrence Butler to take a six to one lead. 78 00:03:33.000 --> 00:03:34.759 After that it was pretty much over. 79 00:03:34.840 --> 00:03:37.000 The Athletics added two more in the seventh, one in 80 00:03:37.039 --> 00:03:39.280 the eighth, and then two more runs of the ninth 81 00:03:39.280 --> 00:03:42.639 off Miguel Rojas, who was pitching for the Dodgers. Athletics 82 00:03:42.639 --> 00:03:45.360 win eleven to one. What a homecoming for twenty three 83 00:03:45.439 --> 00:03:49.199 year old Jacob Wilson. Four for five, had four RBI, 84 00:03:49.360 --> 00:03:52.439 two home runs, his eighth multi hit game in his 85 00:03:52.560 --> 00:03:56.319 last twelve Jeffrey Springs, when seven Indians allowed one run 86 00:03:56.319 --> 00:03:58.639 on six hits to get the win for the Athletics. 87 00:03:58.680 --> 00:04:02.039 The Dodgers offense didn't do more much, however. Michael CONFORDO 88 00:04:02.159 --> 00:04:04.960 will Smith combined to go six for eight. The rest 89 00:04:04.960 --> 00:04:08.080 of the Dodgers had to combine two hits. Dodgers also 90 00:04:08.159 --> 00:04:11.919 zero for twelve with runners in scoring position. With the loss, 91 00:04:11.960 --> 00:04:14.680 Dodgers now twenty seven to fifteen, but tonight a chance 92 00:04:14.719 --> 00:04:18.439 to turn things around. Yoshinobu Yamamoto on the mount in 93 00:04:18.480 --> 00:04:20.319 game two of this three game set, and with more 94 00:04:20.600 --> 00:04:22.879 head out to the Galpi Motors broadcast booth as we 95 00:04:22.879 --> 00:04:26.759 welcome in Tim Nevern and Jose Mota, guys, Thank. 96 00:04:26.600 --> 00:04:26.959 You, Tim. 97 00:04:27.040 --> 00:04:30.079 Beautiful night at Dodgers Stadium once again, Game two of 98 00:04:30.079 --> 00:04:33.560 this three game set. Dodgers and the Athletics, well, it 99 00:04:33.639 --> 00:04:35.759 was a different outcome than I think a lot of 100 00:04:35.759 --> 00:04:38.120 people expected last night, eleven to one in favor of 101 00:04:38.120 --> 00:04:41.480 the Athletics. They earned their nickname the swing and A's 102 00:04:41.959 --> 00:04:44.600 because that's all they did, especially in the first pitch, 103 00:04:45.160 --> 00:04:47.399 and a lot of opposite field hits too from right 104 00:04:47.439 --> 00:04:50.600 handed hitters. The's have proven that they can swing. 105 00:04:50.399 --> 00:04:53.199 The bats, swing the bats. They're smart about making decisions 106 00:04:53.240 --> 00:04:55.879 down the first pitch too, because it's not just going 107 00:04:55.879 --> 00:04:57.480 out there and saying I don't want to fall behind. 108 00:04:57.560 --> 00:04:59.920 And against Landam nag they sold the fastball working out 109 00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:02.519 pretty early, and then they found out that he went 110 00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:04.639 to a different pattern. But they're like, make sure if 111 00:05:04.680 --> 00:05:06.240 he swing first pitch, it's going to be a control 112 00:05:06.279 --> 00:05:10.399 swing in your zone. And beyond that, tim every swing 113 00:05:10.519 --> 00:05:12.399 was not a pulse swing. I mean they took first 114 00:05:12.439 --> 00:05:15.720 pitch swings going the other way up the middle. A 115 00:05:15.839 --> 00:05:19.600 very well thought out plan overall from him and first pitch. 116 00:05:19.720 --> 00:05:22.879 They hit three fifty eight as a team, and they 117 00:05:22.920 --> 00:05:25.319 have now hit twelve home runs on first pitch. 118 00:05:25.360 --> 00:05:26.759 That tells you everything you need to know. 119 00:05:27.120 --> 00:05:29.360 Five home runs for the A's last night, the most 120 00:05:29.399 --> 00:05:32.079 they've had in a single game this year. Jacob Wilson, 121 00:05:32.160 --> 00:05:34.199 the Thousand Oaks product, had his best game as a 122 00:05:34.199 --> 00:05:36.160 big leaguer, four for five with a pair of two 123 00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:39.279 run home runs. He is the son of former major 124 00:05:39.319 --> 00:05:42.839 league shortstop Jack Wilson, and he got the hit gene. 125 00:05:42.959 --> 00:05:44.879 He's one of those guys and you got to go 126 00:05:44.920 --> 00:05:47.480 out there and change the patterns on how he pitched him, 127 00:05:47.519 --> 00:05:49.720 There's no doubt in my mind he saw fastball first 128 00:05:49.720 --> 00:05:52.399 pitch on nac early and then second time he's looking 129 00:05:52.399 --> 00:05:54.920 for that slider and he hung it and made him 130 00:05:54.920 --> 00:05:56.639 pay a big price, But he's one of those guys 131 00:05:56.639 --> 00:06:00.360 that throwback puts ball in play as of Velosa is 132 00:06:00.439 --> 00:06:03.040 out the window, and who cares about that? Right longsangle 133 00:06:03.160 --> 00:06:04.879 just out the door? Who cares about that too? But 134 00:06:05.040 --> 00:06:07.439 just a complete player and obviously working more than the 135 00:06:07.439 --> 00:06:09.959 defensive side. And they're a team that he is the 136 00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:13.399 anchor of that short stop position and also the infia, 137 00:06:13.480 --> 00:06:15.959 but also a team that you have to pressure more 138 00:06:16.240 --> 00:06:18.319 on the defensive side because they have their issues catching 139 00:06:18.360 --> 00:06:19.120 the baseball, you. 140 00:06:19.040 --> 00:06:20.879 Know, So you get the feeling tonight's gonna be a 141 00:06:20.920 --> 00:06:24.959 little different for one reason. Otani, Betts, and Freeman were 142 00:06:24.959 --> 00:06:27.920 all over last night. It's only the second time this 143 00:06:28.040 --> 00:06:30.240 year where all three did not get a hit in 144 00:06:30.279 --> 00:06:30.839 the same game. 145 00:06:30.920 --> 00:06:31.680 All right with you? 146 00:06:31.600 --> 00:06:34.519 You paw has to that all for thirteen, shohe Molki, 147 00:06:34.600 --> 00:06:37.000 Freddy and Ony Paie has and Dodgers met in scoring 148 00:06:37.040 --> 00:06:40.439 position in absence all for twelve. They're swinging out of 149 00:06:40.480 --> 00:06:42.759 the zone way too often. But as we'd look at 150 00:06:42.800 --> 00:06:44.920 probabilities and percentages, we know and then they're gonna make 151 00:06:44.920 --> 00:06:45.959 this kid earn it here tonight. 152 00:06:46.040 --> 00:06:46.800 Yeah, it's just math. 153 00:06:46.879 --> 00:06:47.040 Right. 154 00:06:47.079 --> 00:06:49.920 So Gunnar Hogland and his third major league start. It's 155 00:06:49.959 --> 00:06:53.199 been pretty good so far. It's been drafted number one twice, 156 00:06:53.319 --> 00:06:55.560 or he should say, in the first round twice. But 157 00:06:55.839 --> 00:06:58.839 Gunnar Hogland won to Ero in his third Major league starting. 158 00:06:58.879 --> 00:07:01.040 The first guy he'll face will be Sho He Tony. 159 00:07:00.759 --> 00:07:02.639 Shoho Tommy, I see what he pissed about. This guy 160 00:07:03.319 --> 00:07:05.399 can figure out and pitch backwards. That's one thing that 161 00:07:05.399 --> 00:07:07.240 he does. And one thing is for sure. He throws 162 00:07:07.279 --> 00:07:08.279 a lot of strikes. 163 00:07:08.560 --> 00:07:12.040 So it'll be Yoshinobu Yamamoto pitching for the Dodgers tonight. 164 00:07:12.120 --> 00:07:15.040 Record is four and three, but in a recent MLB 165 00:07:15.160 --> 00:07:18.399 dot com poll about the Cy Young Award, he ended 166 00:07:18.439 --> 00:07:21.319 up getting twenty two of the thirty seven first place votes, 167 00:07:21.360 --> 00:07:22.839 far and away more than anybody else. 168 00:07:22.920 --> 00:07:25.160 The next closest had four votes. 169 00:07:25.319 --> 00:07:27.480 You gotta look at so many things with Yoshi and 170 00:07:27.639 --> 00:07:29.639 the way he attacks is his zone, and all those 171 00:07:29.720 --> 00:07:31.439 numbers now'll tell you that you can win a say 172 00:07:31.519 --> 00:07:32.720 Young winning thirteen games. 173 00:07:33.279 --> 00:07:35.000 We saw with you know, guys. 174 00:07:34.720 --> 00:07:37.879 Like Corbyn Burns winning not with Layela. Games we saw 175 00:07:37.959 --> 00:07:42.079 with Phillip Hernandez. We saw with Jacob Degram. So I'm 176 00:07:42.079 --> 00:07:44.439 not surprised that, you know, looking at the numbers inside 177 00:07:44.439 --> 00:07:46.959 of the damage that you know, he's done two batters 178 00:07:47.240 --> 00:07:52.399 and beyond that, now he's Abitington under two runs of 179 00:07:52.399 --> 00:07:55.560 support per nine innings. And think about how much good, 180 00:07:55.680 --> 00:07:57.879 how much better you have to pitch just in order 181 00:07:57.920 --> 00:07:59.360 to keep your team in the game, knowing that you're 182 00:07:59.360 --> 00:08:00.759 not getting a little the us to work with. 183 00:08:00.959 --> 00:08:03.319 And I'm burying the lead today too with the Austin 184 00:08:03.360 --> 00:08:05.560 Barnes now DFA. There's been a lot of talk about 185 00:08:05.600 --> 00:08:10.800 that already tonight Dalton rushing, he'll start tomorrow. He'll make 186 00:08:10.839 --> 00:08:13.079 his first start with the Dodgers tomorrow. 187 00:08:13.439 --> 00:08:15.800 Exciting. I mean, you know, haven't been around here for 188 00:08:15.800 --> 00:08:17.560 a long time. I've seen so many Dodgers come up 189 00:08:18.079 --> 00:08:19.879 through the years with hard decisions have had to be 190 00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:21.639 made about players that we're here for a long time. 191 00:08:21.839 --> 00:08:25.399 Austin Barrs, no doubt what he did here quite valuable. 192 00:08:25.519 --> 00:08:28.199 Put a lot of weight on that developmental pitchers, catchers 193 00:08:28.199 --> 00:08:31.240 and all things like that. But it's the future moving forward. 194 00:08:31.319 --> 00:08:33.559 Wish all the very best to Austin bars. But now 195 00:08:34.120 --> 00:08:35.759 we'll see a kid that has done a lot of homework, 196 00:08:35.840 --> 00:08:38.279 especially the way he was putting the spot in spring training. 197 00:08:38.320 --> 00:08:40.559 They had to recite so many things about how he 198 00:08:40.600 --> 00:08:43.200 would pitch guys, how he would catch guys, which proudny 199 00:08:43.159 --> 00:08:45.519 he will take. So the homework's been done, the numbers 200 00:08:45.519 --> 00:08:48.279 were there, and the time is now full.

Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Gunner Hoagland 221 00:09:58.240 --> 00:10:01.080 the pitchy matchup. First pitch coming up at seven ten. 222 00:10:02.159 --> 00:10:05.600 This is the Otani rewind. 223 00:10:05.480 --> 00:10:08.120 Well no highlights from show A last night. He was 224 00:10:08.240 --> 00:10:11.120 zero for three with a walk. The Dodgers offense really 225 00:10:11.120 --> 00:10:15.000 struggled last night, just two hits outside of Will Smith 226 00:10:15.039 --> 00:10:19.200 and Michael Conforto for the Dodgers lineup show Hey, Otani's over, 227 00:10:19.679 --> 00:10:22.159 snapping his nine game hitting streak. 228 00:10:22.399 --> 00:10:25.200 Otani now hitting three h two on this season. 229 00:10:25.919 --> 00:10:29.840 This is Kirston's corner with Kirston Watson. 230 00:10:30.360 --> 00:10:33.320 Hey Kearson now joins us from the stadium. A big 231 00:10:33.399 --> 00:10:36.399 day for the Dodgers. Dalton Rushing gets called up. I'm 232 00:10:36.440 --> 00:10:39.559 old enough to remember when Lebron James had the decision 233 00:10:39.919 --> 00:10:42.600 when he announced he was going to Miami to win 234 00:10:42.720 --> 00:10:45.440 not one, not two, not three, but four championships. But 235 00:10:46.279 --> 00:10:48.720 today a decision for the Dodgers had to be made, 236 00:10:48.720 --> 00:10:49.159 and it did. 237 00:10:50.399 --> 00:10:51.840 First of all, did you do you don't think I 238 00:10:51.960 --> 00:10:53.720 was old enough for that either. I remember when he 239 00:10:53.720 --> 00:10:55.159 said he's taking his talents in South Beach. 240 00:10:56.519 --> 00:10:59.960 You just go listening. You know you are a younger. No, 241 00:11:00.120 --> 00:11:01.519 you're right, I got you though. 242 00:11:01.559 --> 00:11:05.759 But when it comes to yes, today a lot happened. 243 00:11:05.759 --> 00:11:08.120 So first of course, the news Austin Barnes be DFA 244 00:11:08.159 --> 00:11:10.799 and Austin Barnes has been a huge guy in his clubhouse, 245 00:11:10.879 --> 00:11:13.320 this organization final out of the World Series. There are 246 00:11:13.360 --> 00:11:16.480 so many big moments that include him. And also just 247 00:11:16.840 --> 00:11:19.960 he's a guy. He he brings a different kind of fire, 248 00:11:20.120 --> 00:11:22.480 especially when it comes to October, kind of similar to 249 00:11:22.519 --> 00:11:25.360 a Keik Hernandez where he is a gamer. I even 250 00:11:25.440 --> 00:11:28.039 remember just there have been conversations of you know, if 251 00:11:28.039 --> 00:11:30.679 he had to build out your you're starting five on 252 00:11:30.720 --> 00:11:33.000 a basketball team playing Kershaw and many other. 253 00:11:32.840 --> 00:11:34.159 Guys would be like Austin. 254 00:11:33.879 --> 00:11:35.879 Barnes because he gonna go for some He's going for 255 00:11:35.919 --> 00:11:39.480 ankles and knees like he was a fighter till the end. 256 00:11:39.600 --> 00:11:42.360 So for you know, this his time with the Dodgers 257 00:11:42.399 --> 00:11:45.039 becoming to an end right now. It's it's a tough one. 258 00:11:45.039 --> 00:11:47.440 It's a tough spilled pill to swallow. It's it's hard 259 00:11:47.480 --> 00:11:49.639 to say goodbye, especially because he is such a great 260 00:11:49.679 --> 00:11:53.000 guy in the clubhouse and just a great guy in general. 261 00:11:53.080 --> 00:11:54.799 So that was obviously unfortunate news. 262 00:11:54.840 --> 00:11:57.720 Now with that, there is the very exciting news of 263 00:11:57.799 --> 00:12:00.879 Dalton Rushing the top prospect of the Dodge for him 264 00:12:01.039 --> 00:12:04.759 finally getting his chance, and to get that chance as 265 00:12:04.840 --> 00:12:07.320 a catcher. You know, he is a player who we've 266 00:12:07.360 --> 00:12:09.360 seen him in Triple A. They've kind of in the 267 00:12:09.440 --> 00:12:11.679 and in the miners, moving him around, whether it's in 268 00:12:11.759 --> 00:12:14.159 left field, playing a little bit of first. In spring 269 00:12:14.200 --> 00:12:16.679 training he was primarily playing some first of course, with 270 00:12:16.679 --> 00:12:19.919 Freddie Freeman working back from that ankle injury. So for 271 00:12:20.039 --> 00:12:23.360 him to have this opportunity for the organization to say 272 00:12:23.799 --> 00:12:26.120 we are believing in you. You have put in a 273 00:12:26.159 --> 00:12:29.080 lot of hard work. He's obviously the bat is huge. 274 00:12:29.399 --> 00:12:32.480 So for him now to get this opportunity and not 275 00:12:32.559 --> 00:12:34.919 just to step in for an il Stint or to 276 00:12:34.960 --> 00:12:37.919 step in for you know, a quick little ten to 277 00:12:37.960 --> 00:12:41.519 fifteen day stint here. He's stepping in as the backup 278 00:12:41.559 --> 00:12:44.360 catcher of the Los Angeles Dodgers. So the organization is saying, 279 00:12:44.399 --> 00:12:46.159 we believe in you and we want you to be 280 00:12:46.200 --> 00:12:48.919 a part of this future. And so for Dalton, he 281 00:12:49.159 --> 00:12:51.320 is he's obviously very excited. He got the call late 282 00:12:51.399 --> 00:12:54.080 last night and he just wants to contribute. So Dave said, 283 00:12:54.080 --> 00:12:56.639 he'll be behind the plate tomorrow. Maybe he'll be out 284 00:12:56.679 --> 00:13:00.120 there in a pinch hit situation tonight or so, I 285 00:13:00.120 --> 00:13:01.799 guess if things got out of hand in this one, 286 00:13:01.879 --> 00:13:04.799 but it seems like we'll be watching him make that 287 00:13:05.159 --> 00:13:07.679 big major league debut tomorrow. So very excited for him. 288 00:13:07.879 --> 00:13:09.799 Like the old Boys to Men's song, it's hard to 289 00:13:09.840 --> 00:13:12.440 say goodbye to yesterday. We say goodbye to Austin Bars, 290 00:13:12.480 --> 00:13:16.440 but we welcome in Dalton Rushing the new shiny toy for 291 00:13:16.519 --> 00:13:19.720 the Dodgers behind the plate, Kirsten, we appreciate what check 292 00:13:19.759 --> 00:13:21.440 with you after the game still to come here on 293 00:13:21.559 --> 00:13:24.840 Wrongo Casino Dodgers on Deck.

Let's head back 321 00:14:54.279 --> 00:14:56.240 out to Dodger Stadium here for the Dodgers skipper. 322 00:14:56.559 --> 00:14:57.000 Anything else? 323 00:14:58.720 --> 00:15:01.600 Questions for Dave, Dave? Can you you just described Dave? 324 00:15:01.679 --> 00:15:03.480 Can you talk about the pressure. 325 00:15:03.919 --> 00:15:06.720 In the dugouts with Dave Roberts? 326 00:15:07.799 --> 00:15:14.919 This was certainly a tough conversation. Austin is a Dodger 327 00:15:14.960 --> 00:15:19.679 for life. He helped us win a championship, caught the 328 00:15:19.720 --> 00:15:22.600 lost last pitch in twenty twenty in the World Series, 329 00:15:23.240 --> 00:15:25.279 and he's done a lot of great things in the 330 00:15:25.279 --> 00:15:30.080 community for the Dodgers, for myself personally, and I just 331 00:15:30.120 --> 00:15:35.919 think that for us right now, with what Dalton Russian 332 00:15:36.039 --> 00:15:40.919 is doing on the performance side, it's an opportunity to 333 00:15:41.360 --> 00:15:45.519 challenge him, expand his growth, give him an opportunity to 334 00:15:45.600 --> 00:15:50.240 log some major league games and essentially give him some runway. 335 00:15:51.759 --> 00:15:56.279 How much is as much about Dalton as is about 336 00:15:56.440 --> 00:16:00.480 Will sit and just how the past seven years worn 337 00:16:00.559 --> 00:16:03.080 down and the offense discussion has gone down In said 338 00:16:03.120 --> 00:16:05.000 of the thought by a set as Piers was on 339 00:16:05.120 --> 00:16:05.879 the cash you want to. 340 00:16:05.840 --> 00:16:11.279 See, Yeah, it's more, it's driven. It's a combo, I 341 00:16:11.279 --> 00:16:14.519 would say, Dave. I think that I think if you've 342 00:16:14.559 --> 00:16:21.080 seen how I've managed Will this year, it's been a 343 00:16:21.159 --> 00:16:25.080 little bit on the conservative side, and I think that 344 00:16:25.159 --> 00:16:27.000 there is some part of it where I want to 345 00:16:27.000 --> 00:16:29.919 make sure I keep him fresh and wanting for more 346 00:16:29.960 --> 00:16:33.559 as the season goes on. And then I see some 347 00:16:33.720 --> 00:16:40.039 runway for a backup catcher, and I think that, like 348 00:16:40.080 --> 00:16:42.080 I said, Dalton's earned this opportunity. 349 00:16:42.240 --> 00:16:42.559 All right. 350 00:16:42.639 --> 00:16:43.279 That's the manager. 351 00:16:43.360 --> 00:16:46.639 Dave Roberts covering a lot of topics on this Wednesday 352 00:16:46.759 --> 00:16:48.919 night leading up the first pitch.

And Dave Roberts said during 372 00:17:49.200 --> 00:17:52.880 his press conference earlier today that this was not something 373 00:17:52.960 --> 00:17:57.240 that Dodgers had been discussing for weeks or the last month. 374 00:17:57.319 --> 00:18:00.440 This is something that really stood out to them recently, 375 00:18:00.599 --> 00:18:03.200 and it kind of points towards that last road trip, 376 00:18:03.319 --> 00:18:07.279 especially the last game Barnes cot in Arizona, where he 377 00:18:07.359 --> 00:18:10.599 couldn't even get the ball to second base and he 378 00:18:10.640 --> 00:18:13.400 threw to second base when the runner wasn't stealing. So 379 00:18:13.680 --> 00:18:16.880 it kind of points to the throwing issues that Austin 380 00:18:16.920 --> 00:18:20.000 Barnes has had going back to the last three years, 381 00:18:20.039 --> 00:18:23.559 but certainly even more noticeable this season to begin it. 382 00:18:23.680 --> 00:18:26.160 And look, I'm gonna say this right now, the way 383 00:18:26.279 --> 00:18:29.240 Barnes was throwing was not normal. I'm not gonna say 384 00:18:29.240 --> 00:18:32.039 he just stopped being able to throw to second base. 385 00:18:32.079 --> 00:18:35.519 It feels like there was something physical that he wasn't 386 00:18:35.559 --> 00:18:39.319 willing to concede, and it was evident he only threw 387 00:18:39.359 --> 00:18:42.559 out two of the seventeen base runners that tried to 388 00:18:42.640 --> 00:18:45.200 steal against him this year, and in the last three 389 00:18:45.279 --> 00:18:48.240 years he only threw out fifteen of the one hundred 390 00:18:48.279 --> 00:18:53.400 and forty one base runners. So I mean, he's a 391 00:18:53.400 --> 00:18:56.000 major league player. He can throw. There's got to be 392 00:18:56.079 --> 00:18:58.799 something more to it. But the Dodgers just didn't have 393 00:18:58.880 --> 00:19:02.039 the luxury of time to wait for that to correct itself, 394 00:19:02.640 --> 00:19:05.720 and they needed to give Will Smith more days off, 395 00:19:05.799 --> 00:19:08.599 and the time was right for Dalton rushing. 396 00:19:08.920 --> 00:19:10.799 Dana's driven by Ford. If there's one thing we like, 397 00:19:10.839 --> 00:19:12.599 its choices, find yours. With the Ford F one to 398 00:19:12.640 --> 00:19:15.319 fifty gas hybrid all electric tough this market will be 399 00:19:15.359 --> 00:19:19.160 called the F one fifty. David Dalton rushing.
