00:00:00.360 --> 00:00:03.839
<v Speaker 1>And now your host of Dodger Talk, David Vasse.

2
00:00:06.839 --> 00:00:11.400
<v Speaker 2>Welcome the Dodger Talk David Fassey live from Dodgers Stadium

3
00:00:11.519 --> 00:00:15.679
<v Speaker 2>until eleven o'clock. We are taking your phone calls at

4
00:00:15.720 --> 00:00:19.679
<v Speaker 2>eight six six nine, eight seven two five seventy. Jose

5
00:00:19.879 --> 00:00:23.320
<v Speaker 2>Moto will check in. You'll hear from Freddie Freeman. But

6
00:00:23.399 --> 00:00:26.879
<v Speaker 2>tonight was about the Dodgers improving to seven and oh,

7
00:00:27.480 --> 00:00:31.480
<v Speaker 2>and it was about Dustin May a successful return to

8
00:00:31.559 --> 00:00:34.960
<v Speaker 2>the man for the first time since twenty twenty three.

9
00:00:35.759 --> 00:00:38.759
<v Speaker 2>The Dodgers are seven and oh to begin the season.

10
00:00:38.880 --> 00:00:39.759
<v Speaker 3>That is new.

11
00:00:40.240 --> 00:00:43.039
<v Speaker 2>That is a new record to start the season for

12
00:00:43.200 --> 00:00:47.679
<v Speaker 2>any LA Dodger team. The eighty one Dodgers begin their

13
00:00:47.759 --> 00:00:52.000
<v Speaker 2>season six and oh. These Dodgers are now seven and oh.

14
00:00:52.600 --> 00:00:56.399
<v Speaker 2>The best start to any season for a Dodger franchise

15
00:00:56.479 --> 00:01:00.799
<v Speaker 2>team was the nineteen fifty five Dodgers, who began that

16
00:01:01.079 --> 00:01:04.959
<v Speaker 2>season ten and oh. And if you want more context

17
00:01:05.040 --> 00:01:08.799
<v Speaker 2>to what the Dodgers are doing, only the nineteen thirty

18
00:01:08.879 --> 00:01:13.920
<v Speaker 2>three World champion Yankees started the season seven to zero

19
00:01:13.959 --> 00:01:18.040
<v Speaker 2>as a defending champion. So not only did the Dodgers

20
00:01:18.079 --> 00:01:21.359
<v Speaker 2>win the World Series last year, they have continued to

21
00:01:21.480 --> 00:01:26.120
<v Speaker 2>play with edge and urgency and have played like they

22
00:01:26.159 --> 00:01:27.079
<v Speaker 2>did not win.

23
00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:28.519
<v Speaker 3>The World Series last year.

24
00:01:28.719 --> 00:01:33.959
<v Speaker 2>They want more and that's the most encouraging part of

25
00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:37.959
<v Speaker 2>the start to this season. Not to mention, guys are

26
00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:44.200
<v Speaker 2>playing really well even with or without Freddie Freeman on

27
00:01:44.319 --> 00:01:48.200
<v Speaker 2>certain nights to start this year, even without Mookie Bets

28
00:01:48.280 --> 00:01:51.640
<v Speaker 2>on certain nights to start the season. Freddie was not

29
00:01:51.760 --> 00:01:54.319
<v Speaker 2>in the starting lineup for a second straight night, but

30
00:01:54.840 --> 00:01:58.159
<v Speaker 2>you'll hear from him he's encouraged about how his right

31
00:01:58.200 --> 00:02:03.760
<v Speaker 2>ankle is re cooper rating from that shower fall on

32
00:02:03.920 --> 00:02:08.840
<v Speaker 2>Sunday morning. Mookie Bets, by the way, big game for him,

33
00:02:09.319 --> 00:02:12.000
<v Speaker 2>especially in the sixth inning when he hit that go

34
00:02:12.120 --> 00:02:15.120
<v Speaker 2>ahead two run home run off of Chris Sale, making

35
00:02:15.199 --> 00:02:17.879
<v Speaker 2>up for the air that he made earlier in the

36
00:02:17.919 --> 00:02:21.240
<v Speaker 2>game to allow the Braves to score their first and

37
00:02:21.400 --> 00:02:25.080
<v Speaker 2>only run of the game. You know, Mookie Bets was

38
00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:29.400
<v Speaker 2>feeling good, and you know Mookie Bets felt redemption as

39
00:02:29.400 --> 00:02:32.199
<v Speaker 2>he was rounding the bases after that go ahead two

40
00:02:32.319 --> 00:02:36.439
<v Speaker 2>run home run off his former teammate Chris Sale in

41
00:02:36.560 --> 00:02:38.039
<v Speaker 2>the bottom of the sixth inning.

42
00:02:39.360 --> 00:02:42.159
<v Speaker 4>Nookie, You've had three home runs on this season. All

43
00:02:42.199 --> 00:02:44.400
<v Speaker 4>three of them have been go ahead home runs. When

44
00:02:44.439 --> 00:02:46.319
<v Speaker 4>you think about that on that against Chris Sale, he

45
00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:49.719
<v Speaker 4>was cruising to this one. How did you get to him?

46
00:02:49.840 --> 00:02:51.159
<v Speaker 5>I was just ready to hit him. Mean, he was

47
00:02:51.199 --> 00:02:54.879
<v Speaker 5>throning a lot of strikes and you know, I mean

48
00:02:55.120 --> 00:02:57.800
<v Speaker 5>he's bitching really well. I mean, there was nothing else

49
00:02:57.840 --> 00:02:59.319
<v Speaker 5>I can really do but be ready to swing.

50
00:02:59.560 --> 00:03:00.560
<v Speaker 3>Yes, close game.

51
00:03:00.599 --> 00:03:02.199
<v Speaker 4>When you think about just earlier in the game, the

52
00:03:02.199 --> 00:03:04.919
<v Speaker 4>defensive mishap to come back to get that go ahead

53
00:03:04.919 --> 00:03:06.960
<v Speaker 4>home run, did it make it feel any sweeter for you?

54
00:03:07.319 --> 00:03:07.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

55
00:03:07.560 --> 00:03:08.199
<v Speaker 3>It was huge.

56
00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:11.159
<v Speaker 5>I mean I'm still beating myself self up about that

57
00:03:11.759 --> 00:03:16.639
<v Speaker 5>because that's just that can't happen. And so I'm glad

58
00:03:16.680 --> 00:03:18.719
<v Speaker 5>I was able to make up for it. But you

59
00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:21.479
<v Speaker 5>better believe I'll be working on that same late tomorrow.

60
00:03:21.759 --> 00:03:24.800
<v Speaker 4>This game was also about Dustin May making his return

61
00:03:24.840 --> 00:03:26.560
<v Speaker 4>to the mountain. When you saw what he was able

62
00:03:26.599 --> 00:03:29.000
<v Speaker 4>to do, his efficiency, what stood out about his.

63
00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:33.560
<v Speaker 5>Performance to you, I mean everything, I mean, he was

64
00:03:33.759 --> 00:03:36.000
<v Speaker 5>he was in the zone, got himself out of trouble

65
00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:39.560
<v Speaker 5>a couple of times. He really just did a great job,

66
00:03:39.719 --> 00:03:43.319
<v Speaker 5>and especial with this his first time pitching, and so long.

67
00:03:43.400 --> 00:03:45.360
<v Speaker 5>You know, he there were some emotions out there and

68
00:03:45.400 --> 00:03:47.520
<v Speaker 5>you felt it, and I'm just glad to pitch.

69
00:03:47.560 --> 00:03:50.520
<v Speaker 4>Well, you guys are continuing to be undefeated seven and

70
00:03:50.639 --> 00:03:53.719
<v Speaker 4>zero on this season. That ties a record for most

71
00:03:53.759 --> 00:03:56.080
<v Speaker 4>wins just coming off of winning the World Series. The

72
00:03:56.159 --> 00:03:58.879
<v Speaker 4>tone you guys have set this early in the season

73
00:03:59.000 --> 00:03:59.960
<v Speaker 4>doesn't say about this for.

74
00:04:01.319 --> 00:04:02.400
<v Speaker 3>You know, I don't.

75
00:04:02.840 --> 00:04:05.000
<v Speaker 5>I think it's more just the culture we created here.

76
00:04:05.159 --> 00:04:07.759
<v Speaker 5>You know, it's a winning culture. And you know, we

77
00:04:07.840 --> 00:04:10.520
<v Speaker 5>looked up we're seven and zero, but I mean, nobody

78
00:04:10.599 --> 00:04:12.400
<v Speaker 5>here really cares. You know, We're just focused on the

79
00:04:12.400 --> 00:04:15.280
<v Speaker 5>game tomorrow and we're got a final way to win tomorrow,

80
00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:17.439
<v Speaker 5>and you know the record will be the record. You know, well,

81
00:04:17.680 --> 00:04:18.759
<v Speaker 5>we're not gonna worry about that.

82
00:04:19.120 --> 00:04:20.920
<v Speaker 4>Congratulations on this one tonight, bookie.

83
00:04:21.079 --> 00:04:21.399
<v Speaker 5>Thank you.

84
00:04:22.199 --> 00:04:26.240
<v Speaker 2>Mookie Betts with Kirsten Watson on sports Net LA after

85
00:04:26.399 --> 00:04:29.639
<v Speaker 2>he comes up with the big hit and redemption in

86
00:04:29.759 --> 00:04:32.439
<v Speaker 2>the bottom of the sixth inning off of Chris Sale

87
00:04:32.519 --> 00:04:36.120
<v Speaker 2>with a two run home run off his former teammate

88
00:04:36.160 --> 00:04:37.560
<v Speaker 2>to give the Dodgers a two.

89
00:04:37.480 --> 00:04:39.959
<v Speaker 3>To one lead, and then Tommy Edmond and.

90
00:04:39.920 --> 00:04:42.519
<v Speaker 2>Will Smith teamed up for the third run in that

91
00:04:42.600 --> 00:04:46.839
<v Speaker 2>inning that came off a reliever Pierce Johnson. Edmund got

92
00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:51.079
<v Speaker 2>on base and then stole second, and the Braves rookie

93
00:04:51.199 --> 00:04:54.680
<v Speaker 2>catcher Drake Baldwin threw it into center field. Edmund got

94
00:04:54.720 --> 00:04:58.079
<v Speaker 2>to third and scored with the infield drawn in will

95
00:04:58.160 --> 00:05:03.319
<v Speaker 2>Smith hitting one past the drawn in Ozzy Albis to

96
00:05:03.399 --> 00:05:06.720
<v Speaker 2>give Will Smith a nine game hitting street going back

97
00:05:06.759 --> 00:05:10.079
<v Speaker 2>to last season, and now Smith is four for five

98
00:05:10.160 --> 00:05:14.759
<v Speaker 2>with runners in scoring position. Quite honestly, Will Smith probably

99
00:05:14.920 --> 00:05:18.480
<v Speaker 2>has the best job on this Dodger team because not

100
00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:22.199
<v Speaker 2>only is he hitting in and big and being a

101
00:05:22.199 --> 00:05:25.759
<v Speaker 2>big part of the best offense in baseball, but he

102
00:05:25.879 --> 00:05:29.480
<v Speaker 2>also has a front row seat catching the best pitching

103
00:05:29.560 --> 00:05:34.160
<v Speaker 2>staff in baseball, including tonight with Dustin May coming back

104
00:05:34.279 --> 00:05:37.240
<v Speaker 2>and pitching in a Major league stadium for the first

105
00:05:37.319 --> 00:05:41.879
<v Speaker 2>time since May seventeenth of twenty twenty three. And what

106
00:05:42.040 --> 00:05:45.360
<v Speaker 2>a start for Dustin May tonight, striking out the Braves

107
00:05:45.439 --> 00:05:49.680
<v Speaker 2>in order to begin his comeback. He struck out Michael

108
00:05:49.720 --> 00:05:54.720
<v Speaker 2>Harris looking, Austin Riley swinging, and Matt Olsen looking to

109
00:05:54.879 --> 00:05:58.879
<v Speaker 2>get those first three huge threats of the Braves and

110
00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:02.720
<v Speaker 2>skipped off then. And I'm sure I had a prayer

111
00:06:02.920 --> 00:06:06.839
<v Speaker 2>or just something to himself to say thank you for

112
00:06:06.920 --> 00:06:09.439
<v Speaker 2>allowing me to be here, because he was facing the

113
00:06:09.519 --> 00:06:13.959
<v Speaker 2>dugout wall and I'm sure he was saying some sort

114
00:06:13.959 --> 00:06:16.639
<v Speaker 2>of prayer of thanks no matter what you believe in.

115
00:06:16.720 --> 00:06:19.879
<v Speaker 2>He was saying thank you to somebody. Let's head downstairs

116
00:06:19.920 --> 00:06:23.120
<v Speaker 2>right now to the Dodger Clubhouse to hear from the

117
00:06:23.160 --> 00:06:23.920
<v Speaker 2>big ginger.

118
00:06:24.680 --> 00:06:24.879
<v Speaker 6>Well.

119
00:06:24.920 --> 00:06:27.399
<v Speaker 7>To start off, they started with the wrong walkout song,

120
00:06:27.480 --> 00:06:29.040
<v Speaker 7>so that kind of pissed me off to start the game.

121
00:06:29.240 --> 00:06:30.240
<v Speaker 3>But it's okay.

122
00:06:31.000 --> 00:06:33.480
<v Speaker 7>It ended up being a good start, so I can't

123
00:06:33.480 --> 00:06:37.519
<v Speaker 7>complain it. But there was definitely a lot of emotions

124
00:06:37.560 --> 00:06:40.160
<v Speaker 7>that got let out after the first hitter and the

125
00:06:40.199 --> 00:06:43.600
<v Speaker 7>first thing. Definitely, like I said, after my first outing

126
00:06:43.600 --> 00:06:45.480
<v Speaker 7>in spring training, it was a huge weight lifted off

127
00:06:45.519 --> 00:06:49.680
<v Speaker 7>my shoulders. It was just super super great to be.

128
00:06:49.639 --> 00:06:51.399
<v Speaker 4>Back out there just seeing how your stuff played. Though.

129
00:06:51.439 --> 00:06:53.040
<v Speaker 4>Just how rewarding was it to see all the hard

130
00:06:53.040 --> 00:06:55.519
<v Speaker 4>work that you have been doing to make sure you're

131
00:06:55.560 --> 00:06:58.519
<v Speaker 4>in a good spot and didn't see it really playing out.

132
00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:00.439
<v Speaker 8>The world.

133
00:07:00.920 --> 00:07:03.920
<v Speaker 7>Knowing that my stuff still plays, I mean, I thought

134
00:07:03.959 --> 00:07:05.199
<v Speaker 7>I could strike a lot of guys out of my

135
00:07:05.199 --> 00:07:07.079
<v Speaker 7>bullpens that I've been throwing, because I've thrown a lot

136
00:07:07.120 --> 00:07:09.560
<v Speaker 7>of them, but it was good to see actually get

137
00:07:09.560 --> 00:07:11.000
<v Speaker 7>big lea kidders out in the big league game.

138
00:07:11.439 --> 00:07:16.199
<v Speaker 5>If they've been theory and hoop.

139
00:07:16.240 --> 00:07:18.600
<v Speaker 7>He would that big. Yeah, I mean it was huge.

140
00:07:18.639 --> 00:07:20.279
<v Speaker 7>I mean, we're we're never out of it. I mean,

141
00:07:20.439 --> 00:07:22.120
<v Speaker 7>especially with the hitters that we got. I mean, we

142
00:07:22.160 --> 00:07:23.879
<v Speaker 7>can go score ten runs and one anything. I mean,

143
00:07:23.959 --> 00:07:28.040
<v Speaker 7>we're very very talently team. We're gonna have to wait

144
00:07:28.040 --> 00:07:28.519
<v Speaker 7>for the next one.

145
00:07:28.560 --> 00:07:31.720
<v Speaker 6>I guess it looked like it was just fun out

146
00:07:31.759 --> 00:07:33.480
<v Speaker 6>there for yeah.

147
00:07:33.519 --> 00:07:35.319
<v Speaker 7>I mean even if it would have went bad, I

148
00:07:35.319 --> 00:07:36.879
<v Speaker 7>mean I still would have been having a good time

149
00:07:36.959 --> 00:07:39.199
<v Speaker 7>just being being back on the Big league mount. I

150
00:07:39.199 --> 00:07:41.199
<v Speaker 7>mean it literally meant the world to me just to

151
00:07:41.240 --> 00:07:44.920
<v Speaker 7>be back out on the mount, because about eight months ago.

152
00:07:44.839 --> 00:07:47.000
<v Speaker 3>I didn't know if I would be all right.

153
00:07:47.079 --> 00:07:51.360
<v Speaker 2>There's Dustin May, who had a good sense of humor

154
00:07:51.399 --> 00:07:54.839
<v Speaker 2>about himself. Obviously, he told us during spring training that

155
00:07:55.240 --> 00:07:58.040
<v Speaker 2>he has a different outlook on life after what took

156
00:07:58.079 --> 00:08:03.199
<v Speaker 2>place last year with choking on salad on a piece

157
00:08:03.240 --> 00:08:07.079
<v Speaker 2>of lettuce where he had you know, obviously the lettuce

158
00:08:07.279 --> 00:08:10.959
<v Speaker 2>did not cause his esophagus to tear. It was something

159
00:08:11.000 --> 00:08:14.720
<v Speaker 2>that was I'm sure happening, but man, that changed his

160
00:08:14.759 --> 00:08:17.839
<v Speaker 2>outlook on life, and he's worried about his his warm

161
00:08:17.920 --> 00:08:18.399
<v Speaker 2>up song.

162
00:08:18.839 --> 00:08:19.759
<v Speaker 3>That's pretty funny.

163
00:08:19.800 --> 00:08:22.920
<v Speaker 2>But whatever it was, I guess it worked against the

164
00:08:22.959 --> 00:08:26.079
<v Speaker 2>Braves because he struck him out in order to start

165
00:08:26.160 --> 00:08:29.279
<v Speaker 2>the game and pitch five scoreless innings tonight with six

166
00:08:29.319 --> 00:08:34.279
<v Speaker 2>strikeouts and certainly proved that he belongs here still after

167
00:08:34.320 --> 00:08:37.919
<v Speaker 2>not pitching since May of twenty twenty three. Eight six

168
00:08:38.080 --> 00:08:41.799
<v Speaker 2>six nine, eight seven two five seventy is the phone number.

169
00:08:42.080 --> 00:08:44.879
<v Speaker 2>Let's go out to Colin and Costa Mesa. You're on

170
00:08:45.000 --> 00:08:48.399
<v Speaker 2>Dodger Talk Live from Dodger Stadium.

171
00:08:48.799 --> 00:08:52.639
<v Speaker 9>Hey DV, thanks for having me on. I just wanted

172
00:08:52.679 --> 00:08:54.519
<v Speaker 9>to say I went to the game tonight. I had

173
00:08:54.519 --> 00:08:58.759
<v Speaker 9>no expectations. I was just happy to be there. Stressed

174
00:08:58.799 --> 00:09:02.159
<v Speaker 9>out after the playoff last year, and these guys are

175
00:09:02.200 --> 00:09:05.679
<v Speaker 9>working so hard. I can't believe it to see Dustin

176
00:09:05.799 --> 00:09:10.039
<v Speaker 9>come back. It's so inspiring to watch his team every night.

177
00:09:10.159 --> 00:09:13.080
<v Speaker 9>And I want to say that I hope we can

178
00:09:13.120 --> 00:09:15.600
<v Speaker 9>get Freddie a flat shower bed.

179
00:09:15.799 --> 00:09:18.240
<v Speaker 6>In his guest room.

180
00:09:18.320 --> 00:09:21.639
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, hopefully he gets that, but he told us that

181
00:09:21.720 --> 00:09:25.360
<v Speaker 2>he will not be showering there again, and we're gonna

182
00:09:25.399 --> 00:09:27.480
<v Speaker 2>take a time out here on Dodger Talk. When we

183
00:09:27.559 --> 00:09:30.480
<v Speaker 2>come back, you'll hear from Freddie Freeman. We'll also chick

184
00:09:30.519 --> 00:09:34.120
<v Speaker 2>in with Jose Mota. After the Dodgers defeat the Braves

185
00:09:34.159 --> 00:09:37.840
<v Speaker 2>three to one and remain undefeated seven and zero on

186
00:09:37.960 --> 00:09:42.360
<v Speaker 2>the season. The Dodgers and Brave Dodgers and Padres are

187
00:09:42.399 --> 00:09:46.480
<v Speaker 2>the only two remaining undefeated teams, and they happen to

188
00:09:46.519 --> 00:09:49.320
<v Speaker 2>be in the same division. Should be a fun season.

189
00:09:49.600 --> 00:09:52.279
<v Speaker 2>It's off to a great start for the Dodgers after

190
00:09:52.320 --> 00:09:55.080

<v Speaker 5>Mookie pumps his this twice as he hits third base

<v Speaker 5>and gives the Dodgers a lead.

201
00:10:34.919 --> 00:10:39.320
<v Speaker 2>You know, Mookie wanted to redeem himself after an embarrassing

202
00:10:39.559 --> 00:10:42.279
<v Speaker 2>error early in the game to allow the Braves to

203
00:10:42.320 --> 00:10:45.360
<v Speaker 2>score the first run of the game. That would be

204
00:10:45.399 --> 00:10:48.759
<v Speaker 2>the only run Atlanta score tonight. As the Dodgers go

205
00:10:48.840 --> 00:10:51.840

206
00:10:51.919 --> 00:10:55.039

00:11:25.399 --> 00:11:29.240

<v Speaker 2>begin a year with a seven and oh record. They

217

<v Speaker 2>start to a season The Boys of Summers started that

219
00:11:39.840 --> 00:11:45.399
<v Speaker 2>year ten and oh. The Dodgers win again against Freddy

220
00:11:45.440 --> 00:11:49.679
<v Speaker 2>Freeman's former team without Freddy Freeman. And if you remember

221
00:11:49.759 --> 00:11:54.720
<v Speaker 2>last night, I was a little curious about the story

222
00:11:54.840 --> 00:11:59.360
<v Speaker 2>Dave Roberts was telling yesterday because he said Freddie Freeman

223
00:12:00.080 --> 00:12:04.120
<v Speaker 2>slipped and fell in his shower on Saturday night, and

224
00:12:04.159 --> 00:12:08.200
<v Speaker 2>that didn't really add up, considering the Dodgers played on

225
00:12:08.320 --> 00:12:12.799
<v Speaker 2>Saturday night. You're telling me that Freddie Freeman took two showers.

226
00:12:13.320 --> 00:12:16.519
<v Speaker 2>Well earlier today, Freddie Freeman was out on the field

227
00:12:16.600 --> 00:12:21.120
<v Speaker 2>doing his normal pregame routine and came over and spoke

228
00:12:21.200 --> 00:12:23.600
<v Speaker 2>to a few of us to kind of take us

229
00:12:23.639 --> 00:12:27.919
<v Speaker 2>through the sequence of events that led to him reaggravating

230
00:12:27.960 --> 00:12:30.080
<v Speaker 2>his right surgically repaired ankle.

231
00:12:30.919 --> 00:12:33.600
<v Speaker 8>Chelsea drove me to the field Sunday morning and then

232
00:12:33.639 --> 00:12:35.960
<v Speaker 8>I was able to drive home, so big, that was

233
00:12:36.000 --> 00:12:38.960
<v Speaker 8>a big progress, big relief. Really, I've had an X ray.

234
00:12:39.000 --> 00:12:41.799
<v Speaker 8>There's no little chips or anything like that. But I

235
00:12:41.879 --> 00:12:43.879
<v Speaker 8>literally stepped in with my right foot and it slid

236
00:12:44.000 --> 00:12:47.399
<v Speaker 8>and I went down, which is a glass door, So

237
00:12:47.440 --> 00:12:49.480
<v Speaker 8>it could have been so much worse, you know, I

238
00:12:49.519 --> 00:12:51.039
<v Speaker 8>could have hit my head or something like that. So

239
00:12:51.039 --> 00:12:54.279
<v Speaker 8>I'm very thankful that it was just a little misshalf

240
00:12:54.320 --> 00:12:56.919
<v Speaker 8>of my ankle. So I'm feeling good today and did this.

241
00:12:57.039 --> 00:12:59.080
<v Speaker 8>I'm gonna go hit and if hitting goes well, I'll

242
00:12:59.080 --> 00:13:01.159
<v Speaker 8>come out here and run a few Sprintston just trying

243
00:13:01.200 --> 00:13:02.679
<v Speaker 8>to check out the boxes, trying to check out.

244
00:13:03.399 --> 00:13:07.120
<v Speaker 2>So Freddie went into the shower at about ten fifteen

245
00:13:07.240 --> 00:13:12.120
<v Speaker 2>on Sunday morning. That's when he slipped and fell in

246
00:13:12.320 --> 00:13:16.159
<v Speaker 2>his bathtub slash shower. He was telling us there were

247
00:13:16.200 --> 00:13:18.919
<v Speaker 2>some plumbing issues in his master bedrooms, so he went

248
00:13:18.960 --> 00:13:22.559
<v Speaker 2>to go use a different shower that he normally doesn't use,

249
00:13:23.000 --> 00:13:26.960
<v Speaker 2>and he slipped and fell, and that's where he had

250
00:13:27.000 --> 00:13:29.600
<v Speaker 2>some issues, and he had his wife, as you heard

251
00:13:29.679 --> 00:13:32.879
<v Speaker 2>him say, Chelsea, drive him to Dodgers Stadium. He had

252
00:13:32.960 --> 00:13:36.200
<v Speaker 2>three hours of treatment and then was able to drive

253
00:13:36.240 --> 00:13:39.960
<v Speaker 2>back home. And that's a huge relief for Freddy and

254
00:13:40.080 --> 00:13:44.039
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers that there were no bone chip fragments shown

255
00:13:44.159 --> 00:13:47.159
<v Speaker 2>in the X ray, So that's great news. It's great

256
00:13:47.159 --> 00:13:50.279
<v Speaker 2>news that he was trying to hit today. He's going

257
00:13:50.320 --> 00:13:53.240
<v Speaker 2>to try to force the Dodger's hand to let him

258
00:13:53.240 --> 00:13:56.759
<v Speaker 2>play tomorrow. The chances of him playing tomorrow are not

259
00:13:57.039 --> 00:13:59.799
<v Speaker 2>very high. The Dodgers are going to play a caution

260
00:14:00.120 --> 00:14:03.360
<v Speaker 2>and see how things go in Philadelphia where rain is

261
00:14:03.399 --> 00:14:07.519
<v Speaker 2>in the forecast on Friday night. So we'll see how

262
00:14:07.559 --> 00:14:12.120
<v Speaker 2>that plays into the Dodgers' decision, especially after Freddie having

263
00:14:12.120 --> 00:14:15.480
<v Speaker 2>to fly across country on the travel day Thursday.

264
00:14:15.919 --> 00:14:16.919
<v Speaker 3>But Freddy did have.

265
00:14:16.879 --> 00:14:19.720
<v Speaker 2>A good sense of humor about all this, which tells

266
00:14:19.759 --> 00:14:23.360
<v Speaker 2>me things are not that serious, and he feels pretty

267
00:14:23.399 --> 00:14:26.039
<v Speaker 2>good about where his right ankle is and it wasn't

268
00:14:26.080 --> 00:14:29.080
<v Speaker 2>a huge setback. Here's what Freddy had to say about

269
00:14:29.120 --> 00:14:32.000
<v Speaker 2>how things have been going for that right ankle since

270
00:14:32.080 --> 00:14:33.279
<v Speaker 2>the beginning of the season.

271
00:14:33.720 --> 00:14:36.039
<v Speaker 8>I've been actually feeling really good. I have not felt

272
00:14:36.039 --> 00:14:38.879
<v Speaker 8>my rib at all, which is that's the most kind

273
00:14:38.879 --> 00:14:40.679
<v Speaker 8>of the frustrating part. I was actually feeling really good

274
00:14:40.679 --> 00:14:43.360
<v Speaker 8>with all my injuries. I got sick, the sickness was

275
00:14:43.399 --> 00:14:46.200
<v Speaker 8>doing good too, so I was I was so close,

276
00:14:46.279 --> 00:14:48.759
<v Speaker 8>you know, really hard to get in these regular season

277
00:14:48.759 --> 00:14:52.639
<v Speaker 8>games right now. But I'm feeling much better today, so hopefully.

278
00:14:53.960 --> 00:14:56.039
<v Speaker 8>I mean, they're gonna, I know them, they'll probably push

279
00:14:56.120 --> 00:14:59.039
<v Speaker 8>me to play Friday, just because of the flying across country.

280
00:14:59.080 --> 00:15:00.559
<v Speaker 8>It's gonna be cold and filled. There's a lot of

281
00:15:00.639 --> 00:15:02.360
<v Speaker 8>variables that we're gonna have to deal with in the

282
00:15:02.399 --> 00:15:06.000
<v Speaker 8>East Coast as well. So I think they all know

283
00:15:06.559 --> 00:15:09.399
<v Speaker 8>my plan. They're actually okay with me if everything goes

284
00:15:09.440 --> 00:15:11.399
<v Speaker 8>well to playing tomorrow. But you know, I'm gonna get

285
00:15:11.440 --> 00:15:13.159
<v Speaker 8>to push back a little bit. I'm sure tomorrow, but

286
00:15:14.080 --> 00:15:16.679
<v Speaker 8>I feel good enough so far. The hitting is a

287
00:15:16.679 --> 00:15:19.000
<v Speaker 8>big one because it's more of when I get my stance.

288
00:15:19.080 --> 00:15:20.279
<v Speaker 8>I don't want to be on my back side. I

289
00:15:20.320 --> 00:15:21.600
<v Speaker 8>want to be able to go into my front leg

290
00:15:21.639 --> 00:15:24.919
<v Speaker 8>a little bit so which causes a little dorseyflection. So

291
00:15:24.960 --> 00:15:27.120
<v Speaker 8>if that goes well, which I'm about to go try

292
00:15:27.159 --> 00:15:30.200
<v Speaker 8>and do now, then I really do believe I'll can

293
00:15:30.279 --> 00:15:31.519
<v Speaker 8>potentially get back out there tomorrow.

294
00:15:31.559 --> 00:15:33.679
<v Speaker 3>So you feel like you haven't set yourself back.

295
00:15:33.759 --> 00:15:36.159
<v Speaker 8>I don't think so. No. I mean the way how

296
00:15:36.159 --> 00:15:37.919
<v Speaker 8>it's responded to the treatment, I think it was just,

297
00:15:38.480 --> 00:15:40.480
<v Speaker 8>you know, I just kind of just irritated everything again.

298
00:15:40.600 --> 00:15:45.200
<v Speaker 8>So Bernard's been working real hard again trying to get

299
00:15:45.200 --> 00:15:47.919
<v Speaker 8>me back. So we we were down to like a

300
00:15:47.960 --> 00:15:51.480
<v Speaker 8>fifty minute treatment before the games, and we're back up

301
00:15:51.480 --> 00:15:54.759
<v Speaker 8>to three hours again. So I don't feel bad for Bernard,

302
00:15:54.799 --> 00:15:58.159
<v Speaker 8>but he's got me into a good spot. You know,

303
00:15:58.360 --> 00:16:00.840
<v Speaker 8>yesterday was just a full shutdown to try and do

304
00:16:00.919 --> 00:16:03.960
<v Speaker 8>what I was doing today yesterday. But then Thomas and

305
00:16:04.080 --> 00:16:05.960
<v Speaker 8>Doc they're like, let's just give you a day. So

306
00:16:07.360 --> 00:16:09.200
<v Speaker 8>I'm feeling much better, so I'm going to try and

307
00:16:09.279 --> 00:16:09.639
<v Speaker 8>do all.

308
00:16:09.559 --> 00:16:12.039
<v Speaker 2>That's it even more frustrated that you're not able to

309
00:16:12.039 --> 00:16:13.919
<v Speaker 2>play in this particular series.

310
00:16:14.080 --> 00:16:16.000
<v Speaker 8>Obviously, I would love to be I want to be

311
00:16:16.039 --> 00:16:18.159
<v Speaker 8>in every game. I think that we all know that.

312
00:16:18.279 --> 00:16:21.399
<v Speaker 8>But thankfully, you know, it kind of works. We got

313
00:16:21.399 --> 00:16:23.679
<v Speaker 8>a lot of guys and we're getting rotating at bass

314
00:16:23.759 --> 00:16:26.000
<v Speaker 8>Hey case just coming back off his sickness, can said

315
00:16:26.039 --> 00:16:29.240
<v Speaker 8>more about Zmiggie. So, I mean, we got such a

316
00:16:29.240 --> 00:16:31.600
<v Speaker 8>deep team that I want to be out there every game,

317
00:16:31.639 --> 00:16:34.399
<v Speaker 8>but we're not losing that much, so you know, the

318
00:16:34.480 --> 00:16:36.679
<v Speaker 8>boys are playing really good right now. So I think

319
00:16:36.679 --> 00:16:38.759
<v Speaker 8>the main thing is getting me healthy so I can

320
00:16:38.879 --> 00:16:39.919
<v Speaker 8>make it through the rest of the year.

321
00:16:40.720 --> 00:16:41.600
<v Speaker 3>So there it is.

322
00:16:41.639 --> 00:16:44.320
<v Speaker 2>You heard from Freddie Freeman himself. You did not have

323
00:16:44.399 --> 00:16:47.360
<v Speaker 2>to read words or read between the lines. You heard

324
00:16:47.360 --> 00:16:50.759
<v Speaker 2>the tone of his voice. Things are okay with his

325
00:16:50.879 --> 00:16:54.960
<v Speaker 2>right ankle. So that's a huge relief for the Dodgers

326
00:16:55.000 --> 00:16:59.080
<v Speaker 2>and Freddie Freeman who had a freak accident on Sunday morning,

327
00:16:59.480 --> 00:17:04.079
<v Speaker 2>slipping and falling in his uh one of his whatever

328
00:17:04.319 --> 00:17:06.680
<v Speaker 2>x amount of showers in his house.

329
00:17:06.759 --> 00:17:09.000
<v Speaker 3>But that's good. That's a good sign.

330
00:17:09.119 --> 00:17:12.079
<v Speaker 2>And the Dodgers kept rolling tonight as they beat the

331
00:17:12.079 --> 00:17:14.839
<v Speaker 2>Braves three to one and improve their record to seven

332
00:17:14.880 --> 00:17:15.200
<v Speaker 2>and zero.

333
00:17:16.319 --> 00:17:20.960
<v Speaker 1>It's time to go around the horn with jose Mota.

334
00:17:21.079 --> 00:17:23.920
<v Speaker 2>All right, jose Mota, we talked a lot about Dustin May.

335
00:17:23.960 --> 00:17:26.839
<v Speaker 2>We heard from Dustin May. Let's talk about something that

336
00:17:27.359 --> 00:17:30.480
<v Speaker 2>fans were trying to pick apart, and that is new

337
00:17:30.559 --> 00:17:34.519
<v Speaker 2>closer Tanner Scott. I know Blake Trynin faced the heart

338
00:17:34.599 --> 00:17:36.680
<v Speaker 2>of the Braves lineup, but it was still good to

339
00:17:36.720 --> 00:17:39.720
<v Speaker 2>see Scott get the Braves out in order in the

340
00:17:39.799 --> 00:17:40.359
<v Speaker 2>ninth inning.

341
00:17:41.200 --> 00:17:43.079
<v Speaker 6>Boy, it was good to see him be put on

342
00:17:43.119 --> 00:17:45.680
<v Speaker 6>that situation. And as you mentioned, Dave, Robert has a

343
00:17:45.720 --> 00:17:48.279
<v Speaker 6>way because the luxury of so many guys that can

344
00:17:48.279 --> 00:17:50.480
<v Speaker 6>go their and close. But you got to throw about

345
00:17:50.519 --> 00:17:53.119
<v Speaker 6>the fire. I mean, there's no reason to paddic there's

346
00:17:53.160 --> 00:17:55.599
<v Speaker 6>no reason to not trust the guy. The one thing

347
00:17:55.640 --> 00:17:56.960
<v Speaker 6>you don't want to do with a guy that just

348
00:17:57.119 --> 00:18:00.839
<v Speaker 6>joins your organization and whom you publicly said and he's

349
00:18:00.839 --> 00:18:03.000
<v Speaker 6>going to get the majority of says opportunities. You don't

350
00:18:03.079 --> 00:18:05.160
<v Speaker 6>let just the bad start a couple of innings here

351
00:18:05.160 --> 00:18:08.079
<v Speaker 6>and there derail him. So you got to throw him

352
00:18:08.079 --> 00:18:09.799
<v Speaker 6>out that the only way to get fixed is out

353
00:18:09.839 --> 00:18:11.599
<v Speaker 6>there on the field. A bullpen side is not.

354
00:18:11.559 --> 00:18:12.039
<v Speaker 5>Going to do it.

355
00:18:12.640 --> 00:18:15.640
<v Speaker 6>He's got to read hitters get the reactions, how their

356
00:18:15.680 --> 00:18:18.000
<v Speaker 6>reaction to things. And the one thing that obviously he

357
00:18:18.079 --> 00:18:19.759
<v Speaker 6>knows he's got to get better at is get those

358
00:18:19.839 --> 00:18:22.480
<v Speaker 6>lefties out. Because he's been so good throughout his career.

359
00:18:22.960 --> 00:18:26.400
<v Speaker 2>Up until last year, basically he's been a journeyman reliever.

360
00:18:26.880 --> 00:18:29.559
<v Speaker 2>He gets a big contract during the offseason with the

361
00:18:29.640 --> 00:18:33.359
<v Speaker 2>defending world champion Dodgers. I'm sure we always talk about

362
00:18:33.400 --> 00:18:36.079
<v Speaker 2>position players trying to do too much. I'm sure Tanner

363
00:18:36.160 --> 00:18:38.960
<v Speaker 2>Scott is trying to show out. Do you believe that

364
00:18:39.079 --> 00:18:41.880
<v Speaker 2>maybe played a part in some of the rocky outings

365
00:18:41.920 --> 00:18:44.200
<v Speaker 2>he's had so far in this Homestand.

366
00:18:44.240 --> 00:18:47.279
<v Speaker 6>It's fair to say that, Dave, it's normal to think that.

367
00:18:47.440 --> 00:18:50.599
<v Speaker 6>I mean the expectations you mentioned something so important, which

368
00:18:50.599 --> 00:18:53.839
<v Speaker 6>is for journeymen, when that means people are not believing

369
00:18:53.839 --> 00:18:56.200
<v Speaker 6>in you, that's where you're bouncing around and somebody has

370
00:18:56.240 --> 00:18:58.839
<v Speaker 6>a doubt, but somebody always believes and gives you that opportunity.

371
00:18:58.839 --> 00:19:02.200
<v Speaker 6>And now the big contract, the higher expectations. When he

372
00:19:02.319 --> 00:19:05.559
<v Speaker 6>joined the Powders last year. Is not pitching in Miami anymore.

373
00:19:05.599 --> 00:19:07.880
<v Speaker 6>It's pitching for the Dodgers, and that, you know, brings

374
00:19:07.880 --> 00:19:10.680
<v Speaker 6>a whole lot and then to say you are a

375
00:19:10.720 --> 00:19:12.960
<v Speaker 6>guy who's gonna say games pull the Dodgers in LA

376
00:19:13.519 --> 00:19:16.039
<v Speaker 6>it's not the same as other other places. And I

377
00:19:16.079 --> 00:19:17.359
<v Speaker 6>think at the same time we look at a big

378
00:19:17.440 --> 00:19:19.279
<v Speaker 6>number of the Dodgers put on him with that contract.

379
00:19:19.759 --> 00:19:22.519
<v Speaker 6>It's naturalist, normal, and it's human to go I got

380
00:19:22.559 --> 00:19:24.480
<v Speaker 6>to be perfect, but we know one thing. This game

381
00:19:24.559 --> 00:19:27.119
<v Speaker 6>is not perfect, and he was on for a reason.

382
00:19:27.559 --> 00:19:31.200
<v Speaker 6>Every dad that you needed from him you had, and

383
00:19:31.440 --> 00:19:33.240
<v Speaker 6>every chance to know that you don't need to match

384
00:19:33.319 --> 00:19:35.079
<v Speaker 6>him against lefties or right he's he's with the guy

385
00:19:35.119 --> 00:19:37.720
<v Speaker 6>that's going to go out there and challenge people, which

386
00:19:37.759 --> 00:19:39.400
<v Speaker 6>is what you want, and he's got it done.

387
00:19:39.880 --> 00:19:43.960
<v Speaker 2>We talk about Father Time always winning. Jose, how is

388
00:19:44.000 --> 00:19:47.839
<v Speaker 2>Blake Trining as nasty as he is at age thirty

389
00:19:47.880 --> 00:19:49.759
<v Speaker 2>six almost age thirty seven.

390
00:19:52.680 --> 00:19:54.880
<v Speaker 6>You've had a lot of conversations with him. This guy

391
00:19:54.960 --> 00:19:59.519
<v Speaker 6>is so analytical. He is so precise in self assessing

392
00:20:00.279 --> 00:20:03.160
<v Speaker 6>that I'm not surprised at all. He's not chasing velocity,

393
00:20:03.279 --> 00:20:07.119
<v Speaker 6>which he has. He has movements, he has the ability

394
00:20:07.160 --> 00:20:10.839
<v Speaker 6>to pitch backwards. He's very hard to predict, and I

395
00:20:10.880 --> 00:20:14.480
<v Speaker 6>think Dave he has fun doing this. When there's a

396
00:20:14.519 --> 00:20:18.880
<v Speaker 6>time last season, when the word got around that he's

397
00:20:18.880 --> 00:20:21.079
<v Speaker 6>throwing that wrapper around, break the ball down in the

398
00:20:21.119 --> 00:20:23.359
<v Speaker 6>back of the foot of the lefties, guys got away

399
00:20:23.359 --> 00:20:25.279
<v Speaker 6>from it and they start to not swing at it.

400
00:20:25.640 --> 00:20:27.759
<v Speaker 6>He reinvented himself. It's going to be a little bit slower,

401
00:20:27.759 --> 00:20:30.559
<v Speaker 6>a little bit tighter, smaller to gain a strike, and

402
00:20:30.640 --> 00:20:32.640
<v Speaker 6>before you know it, he's out there in the middle

403
00:20:32.640 --> 00:20:35.880
<v Speaker 6>of every important inning, in the limelight in October, getting

404
00:20:35.880 --> 00:20:38.480
<v Speaker 6>it done. Because I don't think he's ever satisfied. He

405
00:20:38.519 --> 00:20:40.400
<v Speaker 6>knows there's always another level. That's what you want from

406
00:20:40.400 --> 00:20:42.240
<v Speaker 6>your guys out there, and that's how they're going to

407
00:20:42.279 --> 00:20:44.000
<v Speaker 6>take it to another level. And that's why guys want

408
00:20:44.000 --> 00:20:46.759
<v Speaker 6>to copy people like that, because they know the leadership

409
00:20:46.799 --> 00:20:48.519
<v Speaker 6>and the guts of their takes and know that one

410
00:20:48.799 --> 00:20:50.559
<v Speaker 6>bat outing is not going to derail them.

411
00:20:50.960 --> 00:20:54.359
<v Speaker 2>Jose Mota is joining us after the Dodgers improved their

412
00:20:54.400 --> 00:20:57.119
<v Speaker 2>record to seven and oh to begin the season with

413
00:20:57.200 --> 00:21:00.759
<v Speaker 2>the three to one win over the Braves Bets with

414
00:21:00.839 --> 00:21:03.480
<v Speaker 2>the big hit Jose in the sixth inning off his

415
00:21:03.640 --> 00:21:07.319
<v Speaker 2>former teammate Chris Sale a go ahead to run home run,

416
00:21:07.440 --> 00:21:11.839
<v Speaker 2>and Mooki admitted he was very relieved and happy that

417
00:21:11.920 --> 00:21:15.799
<v Speaker 2>he could redeem himself after a play that caused the

418
00:21:15.839 --> 00:21:17.839
<v Speaker 2>Braves to score their first run.

419
00:21:18.480 --> 00:21:20.519
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I mean, as we're just talking about Tanner Scott. Yeah,

420
00:21:20.519 --> 00:21:22.200
<v Speaker 6>it matters to these guys. They're they're even, they have

421
00:21:22.279 --> 00:21:24.400
<v Speaker 6>feelings and Mookie, by the way, that was the Dodgers

422
00:21:24.480 --> 00:21:27.279
<v Speaker 6>first air of the season. You think about this, We

423
00:21:27.319 --> 00:21:30.160
<v Speaker 6>talk about the prows of the offense, the pitching, how

424
00:21:30.160 --> 00:21:32.480
<v Speaker 6>well they're doing, but that was the first era committed

425
00:21:32.480 --> 00:21:35.200
<v Speaker 6>about the Dodgers defense this season in seven games, which

426
00:21:35.240 --> 00:21:38.079
<v Speaker 6>is remarkable. But going back to MOOKI having a conversation

427
00:21:38.160 --> 00:21:41.480
<v Speaker 6>went before the game and he's one of those guys

428
00:21:41.480 --> 00:21:43.799
<v Speaker 6>a day. But you can count in one hand the

429
00:21:43.880 --> 00:21:45.920
<v Speaker 6>guys that can tell you if I get out of bed,

430
00:21:46.480 --> 00:21:49.640
<v Speaker 6>I'm playing, meaning all the questions about his weight coming

431
00:21:49.640 --> 00:21:52.240
<v Speaker 6>back from Japan and all the obviously the wheel wondered,

432
00:21:52.599 --> 00:21:54.119
<v Speaker 6>but he goes, oes, Hey, if I can get up,

433
00:21:54.119 --> 00:21:55.799
<v Speaker 6>I'm gonna play, and there's no doubt. And then we

434
00:21:55.839 --> 00:21:58.240
<v Speaker 6>talk about greatness. That's trying to be great. And I'm

435
00:21:58.240 --> 00:21:59.920
<v Speaker 6>glad that he mentioned in his interview the fact the

436
00:22:00.119 --> 00:22:02.680
<v Speaker 6>fact that he wanted to he was thinking about the

437
00:22:02.680 --> 00:22:04.480
<v Speaker 6>air still gonna eat him up. He's gonna work on

438
00:22:04.519 --> 00:22:07.240
<v Speaker 6>that tomorrow. But to have the ability to just turn

439
00:22:07.240 --> 00:22:08.839
<v Speaker 6>the game around like that, what he does with once

440
00:22:08.880 --> 00:22:10.319
<v Speaker 6>thing is pretty sweet.

441
00:22:10.559 --> 00:22:12.519
<v Speaker 2>All Right, we'll see if the Dodgers go eight and

442
00:22:12.599 --> 00:22:14.720
<v Speaker 2>oh on snell Zilla Day tomorrow.

443
00:22:14.839 --> 00:22:16.759
<v Speaker 3>Jose, look forward to seeing you out here.

444
00:22:17.400 --> 00:22:20.680
<v Speaker 6>A big day for you. Deve Assey. The Snell's back.

445
00:22:21.119 --> 00:22:22.599
<v Speaker 3>Hey, I'm not on the mound.

446
00:22:22.680 --> 00:22:26.480
<v Speaker 6>He is, though, He's fun to watch. Take care of

447
00:22:26.480 --> 00:22:27.519
<v Speaker 6>good night, all right.

448
00:22:27.440 --> 00:22:30.519
<v Speaker 2>Good night, Jose moda. Good to have Jose back with

449
00:22:30.599 --> 00:22:34.200
<v Speaker 2>us this season. Part of the Dodgers Spanish radio broadcast.

450
00:22:34.240 --> 00:22:37.480
<v Speaker 2>It is snell Zilla Day tomorrow, the Dodgers looking to

451
00:22:37.480 --> 00:22:39.759
<v Speaker 2>improve their record and to eight and oh.

452
00:22:40.319 --> 00:22:42.480
<v Speaker 3>The Dodgers and Padres are the.

453
00:22:42.480 --> 00:22:48.160
<v Speaker 2>Two only undefeated teams in baseball this season. I couldn't

454
00:22:48.200 --> 00:22:51.680
<v Speaker 2>get over the fact everybody was just disregarding the San

455
00:22:51.759 --> 00:22:55.559
<v Speaker 2>Diego Padres coming into the season. I know they've had

456
00:22:55.599 --> 00:22:59.720
<v Speaker 2>some issues with their ownership after the unfortunate passing of

457
00:22:59.759 --> 00:23:04.079
<v Speaker 2>a great man, Peter Seidler, but they did not sell

458
00:23:04.160 --> 00:23:07.720
<v Speaker 2>off their players like everybody thought they were going to do.

459
00:23:08.319 --> 00:23:12.839
<v Speaker 2>They still have Fernando Tattis Junior, they still have Manny Machado.

460
00:23:12.920 --> 00:23:14.160
<v Speaker 3>They still have boguards.

461
00:23:14.200 --> 00:23:17.640
<v Speaker 2>They still got Luisa Rise, They still have a budding

462
00:23:17.720 --> 00:23:20.759
<v Speaker 2>star in Jackson Merrill. They still have Dylan Ceese and

463
00:23:20.880 --> 00:23:25.559
<v Speaker 2>Michael King and You Darvish and Robert Suarez. They didn't

464
00:23:25.680 --> 00:23:29.640
<v Speaker 2>add a big piece during the off season, no doubt

465
00:23:29.680 --> 00:23:33.160
<v Speaker 2>about it. The Dodgers blew them away in the off season.

466
00:23:33.279 --> 00:23:37.039
<v Speaker 2>The Dodgers are the defending World Series champions, and they

467
00:23:37.079 --> 00:23:41.640
<v Speaker 2>added even more. The Padres did not really make a

468
00:23:41.680 --> 00:23:46.920
<v Speaker 2>significant addition during the off season, but they still have

469
00:23:47.279 --> 00:23:51.519
<v Speaker 2>basically the same team that pushed the Dodgers to five

470
00:23:51.599 --> 00:23:55.000
<v Speaker 2>games in the NLDS, and still have the same team

471
00:23:55.119 --> 00:23:58.240
<v Speaker 2>that many believe was good enough to win the World

472
00:23:58.319 --> 00:24:02.000
<v Speaker 2>Series if they got past the Dodgers. So I'm a

473
00:24:02.079 --> 00:24:07.599
<v Speaker 2>big believer in the Padres hanging around all season long. No,

474
00:24:07.720 --> 00:24:10.000
<v Speaker 2>I don't believe they're going to win the NL West,

475
00:24:10.559 --> 00:24:13.400
<v Speaker 2>but I do believe they're a playoff team, and I

476
00:24:13.559 --> 00:24:16.920
<v Speaker 2>do believe we could have a rematch in the NLDS

477
00:24:17.319 --> 00:24:20.240
<v Speaker 2>of a year ago between the Dodgers and Padres. So

478
00:24:21.400 --> 00:24:24.160
<v Speaker 2>I'm and I'm a firm believer. If the Dodgers win

479
00:24:24.279 --> 00:24:28.119
<v Speaker 2>ninety nine games or one hundred and seventeen games. That

480
00:24:28.279 --> 00:24:32.960
<v Speaker 2>first round is still the most dangerous round for any

481
00:24:33.319 --> 00:24:37.640
<v Speaker 2>division winner. If the Dodgers can get past that trap

482
00:24:37.880 --> 00:24:40.720
<v Speaker 2>round like they did last year, they're going on to

483
00:24:40.799 --> 00:24:44.160
<v Speaker 2>the World Series, and I believe they'll win the World Series.

484
00:24:44.720 --> 00:24:46.599
<v Speaker 3>But that first round is a wildcard.

485
00:24:46.759 --> 00:24:50.720
<v Speaker 2>Everybody knows it, and I could see the Dodgers and

486
00:24:50.759 --> 00:24:55.039
<v Speaker 2>Padres playing again in that first round. I also believe

487
00:24:55.119 --> 00:24:58.240
<v Speaker 2>the Diamondbacks are going to be a playoff team, and

488
00:24:58.279 --> 00:25:01.440
<v Speaker 2>I still believe this Braves is going to be a

489
00:25:01.480 --> 00:25:04.960
<v Speaker 2>wildcard team as well, even though their record and their

490
00:25:05.000 --> 00:25:08.440
<v Speaker 2>offense don't reflect that. Right now, they're owing six to

491
00:25:08.480 --> 00:25:12.319
<v Speaker 2>start the season. Tonight, Anthony Banda got the winning relief

492
00:25:12.319 --> 00:25:15.319
<v Speaker 2>for the Dodgers. Chris Sale takes the loss in his

493
00:25:15.519 --> 00:25:20.119
<v Speaker 2>first outing at Dodgers Stadium since Game five of the

494
00:25:20.160 --> 00:25:24.200
<v Speaker 2>twenty eighteen World Series, when he came through the bullpen

495
00:25:24.359 --> 00:25:27.640
<v Speaker 2>gates to close out that World Series and beat the

496
00:25:27.640 --> 00:25:31.440
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers in twenty eighteen. Tanner Scott got his second save

497
00:25:31.559 --> 00:25:34.759
<v Speaker 2>of the season and a successful night for Dustin May,

498
00:25:35.000 --> 00:25:37.319
<v Speaker 2>who returned to a Major League mount for the first

499
00:25:37.359 --> 00:25:41.440
<v Speaker 2>time since May of twenty twenty three. Tomorrow Night is

500
00:25:41.480 --> 00:25:45.480
<v Speaker 2>showe Aotani MVP Bobblehead Night, which means you want to

501
00:25:45.519 --> 00:25:48.279
<v Speaker 2>get here early. There's gonna be a lot of traffic

502
00:25:48.319 --> 00:25:52.559
<v Speaker 2>around the stadium. No, they're not opening the gates any earlier,

503
00:25:52.599 --> 00:25:55.279
<v Speaker 2>but just get here early. You know when I used

504
00:25:55.279 --> 00:25:57.599
<v Speaker 2>to come the games and it was a big giveaway night,

505
00:25:57.720 --> 00:26:00.880
<v Speaker 2>I got here at least an hour before first pitch,

506
00:26:00.920 --> 00:26:03.160
<v Speaker 2>So I would recommend doing that. I know it's an

507
00:26:03.160 --> 00:26:07.039
<v Speaker 2>early start, but do your best and save yourselves some headaches.

508
00:26:07.519 --> 00:26:09.880
<v Speaker 2>Snell Zilla is on the mound for the second time

509
00:26:09.920 --> 00:26:13.000
<v Speaker 2>as a Dodger. He's going up against right hander Bryce

510
00:26:13.119 --> 00:26:17.839
<v Speaker 2>Elder Morongo Casino. Dodgers on Deck begins at four thirty tomorrow,

511
00:26:18.039 --> 00:26:22.000
<v Speaker 2>with first pitch at five thirty eight, and then the

512
00:26:22.079 --> 00:26:25.359
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers hit the road again. They will travel to Philadelphia

513
00:26:25.440 --> 00:26:29.799
<v Speaker 2>and Washington, DC on their upcoming East Coast road trip.

514
00:26:30.240 --> 00:26:32.839
<v Speaker 2>That'll do it for us tonight on Dodger Talk. Thanks
