Today, 23 00:01:00.759 --> 00:01:04.920 the rubber game for Petco Park. Ben Casparius is the 24 00:01:05.079 --> 00:01:08.680 opener for the Dodgers. First pitch coming up at one ten. 25 00:01:08.799 --> 00:01:10.519 Between then and now, we got a lot to get 26 00:01:10.519 --> 00:01:13.439 to here on Marongo Casino Dodgers on deck. You're gonna 27 00:01:13.480 --> 00:01:16.079 hear from the manager himself, Dave Roberts. A lot to 28 00:01:16.159 --> 00:01:18.959 hear from the Dodgers skipper as far as the pitching plans, 29 00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:22.239 a concern, a little tweaking the Dodgers lineup. Today we'll 30 00:01:22.280 --> 00:01:25.920 dive deeper into this series finale pitching matchup. David Bassey 31 00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:28.079 will join us throughout the hour. He goes one on 32 00:01:28.079 --> 00:01:31.200 one with Dalton Rushing. We've got your Dodgers magical moment. 33 00:01:31.519 --> 00:01:33.760 Shortly we'll head to the field and check in live 34 00:01:33.799 --> 00:01:36.439 with Kirsten Watson from Sports and at LA and in 35 00:01:36.599 --> 00:01:38.120 just a few minutes we head out to the Gallpit. 36 00:01:38.159 --> 00:01:41.959 Motors broadcast booth was Steven Nelson and Rick monday Well. 37 00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:44.920 The series started on Monday night with a thriller in 38 00:01:45.079 --> 00:01:48.799 extra innings. The Dodgers beat the Padres last night though 39 00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:53.159 San Diego. It was unfortunately a laugher and the Dodgers 40 00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:55.920 were on the bad side of it. Tillan ceased his 41 00:01:56.079 --> 00:01:58.560 best start of the year. He was one in five 42 00:01:59.040 --> 00:02:01.879 and struggling in the month of May in early June, 43 00:02:01.879 --> 00:02:04.640 but last night they looked like the Dylan Sez of old. 44 00:02:04.799 --> 00:02:08.520 Seven shutout innings. He struck out eleven along the way, 45 00:02:08.599 --> 00:02:12.000 scattered three hits against the Dodgers offense, who only had 46 00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:15.599 six hits in the entire game. The Padres often scored 47 00:02:15.639 --> 00:02:19.680 early and often. They scored three in the third, They 48 00:02:19.719 --> 00:02:22.840 scored a run in the fourth, They scored a run 49 00:02:22.919 --> 00:02:26.439 in the fifth, and then in the sixth inning the 50 00:02:26.439 --> 00:02:29.280 fifth any Manny Machado tacked on more. 51 00:02:30.919 --> 00:02:33.120 Fine draft base hit left center field. This sea is 52 00:02:33.199 --> 00:02:38.080 going to score a rise. Pajz thought about throwing hole 53 00:02:38.199 --> 00:02:40.879 but once to keep Machado on first base. A smart 54 00:02:40.919 --> 00:02:44.280 player by Andy. Another RBI hit for Machado, and now 55 00:02:44.319 --> 00:02:45.639 it's five nothing, San. 56 00:02:45.520 --> 00:02:49.319 Diego, Manny Machado, the RBI single Maldonado with homer in 57 00:02:49.360 --> 00:02:52.080 this sixth Manchado then an RBI ground out in the 58 00:02:52.319 --> 00:02:55.879 sixth Manny Machado then again a two run single in 59 00:02:55.919 --> 00:02:59.599 the seventh inning, and Manny Machado last night drove in five. 60 00:03:00.919 --> 00:03:04.520 He was three for five. Luisa Rise was three for five, 61 00:03:04.599 --> 00:03:09.240 extra basein and RBI. The Padre scored eleven runs on 62 00:03:09.680 --> 00:03:14.479 sixteen hits. Poor Matt Souer, the bulkanting guy yesterday after 63 00:03:14.560 --> 00:03:17.280 lu Trevino went one shutout inning, four and two thirds 64 00:03:17.439 --> 00:03:20.599 gave up nine runs on thirteen hits. He was out 65 00:03:20.639 --> 00:03:23.319 there to wear it. He threw a season high one 66 00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:26.639 hundred and eleven pitches for the Dodgers, who needed to 67 00:03:26.639 --> 00:03:29.439 save the bullpen, so they brought in Keyke Hernandez for 68 00:03:29.520 --> 00:03:31.360 the final two and a third innings. He gave him 69 00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:34.280 a couple more runs. The Dodgers offense finally scored in 70 00:03:34.319 --> 00:03:36.520 the eighth inning thanks to Michael Confordo. 71 00:03:36.639 --> 00:03:39.000 If Confordo hits a whole run, I will call it 72 00:03:39.080 --> 00:03:41.120 like it's Game one of the World Series right now. 73 00:03:41.280 --> 00:03:44.319 That's where I'm got met to first pitch, swinging line 74 00:03:44.400 --> 00:03:45.960 drive left center field, down for. 75 00:03:45.919 --> 00:03:48.840 A hit, but Goo Rojas gonna be waved around. He 76 00:03:48.919 --> 00:03:50.240 will score without a throw. 77 00:03:50.680 --> 00:03:53.960 The Dodgers are on the board, hits eleven to one. 78 00:03:54.080 --> 00:03:58.319 San Diego RBI base hit Michael Confordo, Yeah, a. 79 00:03:58.360 --> 00:04:01.240 Little something to get happy about it, Yes, Michael Conforto. 80 00:04:01.360 --> 00:04:04.199 The RBI single in the top half of the eighth inning. 81 00:04:04.680 --> 00:04:05.319 That was it. 82 00:04:05.439 --> 00:04:09.159 The Dodgers one run on six hits. The Dodgers stranded 83 00:04:09.199 --> 00:04:11.520 eleven base runners. They were two for six with runners 84 00:04:11.560 --> 00:04:14.719 in scoring position. But last night was all about the 85 00:04:14.759 --> 00:04:18.600 Padres offense. Dylan Cez and Matt Soer out there wearing 86 00:04:18.600 --> 00:04:21.560 it for almost five innings, giving them nine runs on 87 00:04:21.680 --> 00:04:24.360 thirteen hits. Once you're out there, you're gonna have to 88 00:04:24.399 --> 00:04:26.879 take it to save the bullpen. Last night is just 89 00:04:26.920 --> 00:04:29.160 one of those games you chalk up as one of 90 00:04:29.199 --> 00:04:32.079 one sixty two. You take your lumps in an eleven 91 00:04:32.120 --> 00:04:34.639 to one loss to the San Diego Padres. 92 00:04:34.839 --> 00:04:36.360 The good thing is today is. 93 00:04:36.360 --> 00:04:38.720 A new day, a new game, and a chance to 94 00:04:38.759 --> 00:04:41.519 win this series in San Diego. As the Dodgers and 95 00:04:41.600 --> 00:04:45.279 Padres square off Ben Casparius, we'll get the start as 96 00:04:45.319 --> 00:04:47.759 the opener, first bitch at one ten and with more 97 00:04:47.879 --> 00:04:50.240 we head out to the Gallvin Butters broadcast booth as 98 00:04:50.240 --> 00:04:53.639 we say good afternoon to Stephen Nelson and Rick Monday, guys. 99 00:04:53.439 --> 00:04:54.000 Thank you. Tim. 100 00:04:54.040 --> 00:04:56.279 Feels a little bit like a Sunday getaway, but it's 101 00:04:56.439 --> 00:04:59.199 the middle of the week. Wednesday afternoon, the Dodgers and 102 00:04:59.240 --> 00:05:02.480 Padres series finale and the rubber game of this three 103 00:05:02.519 --> 00:05:07.399 game set. Bowl game one awesome postseason feel. The Dodgers 104 00:05:07.439 --> 00:05:11.480 won it, and last night was really the exact opposite. 105 00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:13.319 Every since it did. 106 00:05:13.160 --> 00:05:16.279 Not have a postseason feel, and the Dodgers got absolutely 107 00:05:16.279 --> 00:05:16.759 blown out. 108 00:05:16.839 --> 00:05:19.480 So what are your expectations coming into today. 109 00:05:19.240 --> 00:05:21.439 Well, not only did it not have a postseason field, 110 00:05:21.839 --> 00:05:24.560 it did not have a spring training Field's fair. It 111 00:05:24.600 --> 00:05:27.399 was just it was one of those days that you say, okay, 112 00:05:27.399 --> 00:05:31.079 look we did nothing and they did just about everything. 113 00:05:31.120 --> 00:05:34.240 And that's kind of the story. In spite of that, 114 00:05:35.160 --> 00:05:38.120 the Dodgers didn't play that poorly. There were a couple 115 00:05:38.120 --> 00:05:42.199 of good defensive plays, one of them by Andy PAHs 116 00:05:42.240 --> 00:05:45.839 in center field and the other Mookie bench. There was 117 00:05:45.879 --> 00:05:48.959 a good defensive play also made by San Diego. It 118 00:05:49.079 --> 00:05:52.480 was somewhat entertaining, although painful, for this Dodger ball club, 119 00:05:52.519 --> 00:05:54.480 and I expect them to turn things around in the 120 00:05:54.480 --> 00:05:57.920 bigger picture. We talked about it yesterday, Stephen. The Dodgers, Yes, 121 00:05:57.959 --> 00:06:00.720 they're atop the nationally Western Division. Look at the last 122 00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:03.839 thirty three games, they're below five hundred, they're sixteen and seventeen. 123 00:06:04.079 --> 00:06:05.639 And if you look at the p Andres the last 124 00:06:05.720 --> 00:06:08.920 thirty one games they played, they're just below five hundred, 125 00:06:09.079 --> 00:06:12.079 they're at fifteen and sixteen. Both of these teams are 126 00:06:12.079 --> 00:06:14.560 trying to shift gears and get it into gear and 127 00:06:14.560 --> 00:06:16.519 start to play good baseball. 128 00:06:16.240 --> 00:06:18.439 And here's where things stand at the end of today, 129 00:06:18.480 --> 00:06:21.959 mo any one of three different teams can be in first. 130 00:06:21.720 --> 00:06:22.439 Place in the West. 131 00:06:22.480 --> 00:06:24.759 Could be the Dodgers, could be the Padres, could be 132 00:06:24.759 --> 00:06:28.240 the San Francisco Giants who won one run ball games 133 00:06:28.279 --> 00:06:29.920 all in a row six to one. 134 00:06:29.959 --> 00:06:31.240 Her game san Francisco's won. 135 00:06:31.360 --> 00:06:33.600 And obviously the Giants coming to Dodgers Stadium for a 136 00:06:33.639 --> 00:06:37.000 three game set this weekend. And so the Dodgers are 137 00:06:37.000 --> 00:06:39.959 short of in this portion of the season where the 138 00:06:39.959 --> 00:06:43.240 injuries are with the are the injury list of the 139 00:06:43.240 --> 00:06:46.399 pitching staff speak for itself, and so they are just 140 00:06:46.519 --> 00:06:49.480 simply trying to tread water at this point and by 141 00:06:49.720 --> 00:06:51.600 time for those guys to get. 142 00:06:51.480 --> 00:06:55.199 Back healthy exactly. And while they are trying to tread water, 143 00:06:55.959 --> 00:06:58.639 you know, there's some sharks in the water also trying 144 00:06:58.680 --> 00:07:00.720 to take advantage of it, and for good reason. I mean, 145 00:07:01.000 --> 00:07:03.040 if there's an opening, you're going to be going for it. 146 00:07:03.079 --> 00:07:05.399 That's exactly what the Dodgers have done in the past. 147 00:07:06.240 --> 00:07:09.920 I think that yesterday is one of those games. It's 148 00:07:09.959 --> 00:07:12.879 not as painful, Oh it's embarrassing, but you know, you 149 00:07:13.000 --> 00:07:15.680 get over that much much more rapidly than you do 150 00:07:15.959 --> 00:07:18.839 when you lose a one run game late in the 151 00:07:18.879 --> 00:07:21.519 game because maybe a miscuse. So I expect this Dodger 152 00:07:21.560 --> 00:07:23.639 buck love to come on out. They have a point 153 00:07:23.680 --> 00:07:26.160 to prove, and that point is to remain not just 154 00:07:26.240 --> 00:07:28.680 in first place, but turn things around and start to 155 00:07:28.720 --> 00:07:31.480 play like the team that they have, because if you 156 00:07:31.519 --> 00:07:34.399 start to think of all the injuries, it's incredible that 157 00:07:34.439 --> 00:07:36.839 they have put together the record that they have right now. 158 00:07:36.879 --> 00:07:39.319 Yeah, and that's the sentiment that I've heard from several 159 00:07:39.399 --> 00:07:43.519 Dodger position players heading into this series. So look, if 160 00:07:43.519 --> 00:07:46.519 you're gonna put yourself in the spin zone after last night, 161 00:07:46.600 --> 00:07:49.920 the only positive, the only takeaway from Kei k Hernandez 162 00:07:49.959 --> 00:07:52.120 pitching more than two winnings last night. It wasn't the 163 00:07:52.120 --> 00:07:55.279 fun and entertainment. That wasn't the point. What was the 164 00:07:55.279 --> 00:07:58.000 point was that the Dodger bullpen was preserved for today. 165 00:07:58.160 --> 00:08:00.920 They have a chance to win this series. COSPIRAUS will 166 00:08:00.920 --> 00:08:03.800 open Justin Robleski available to be the bulk guy out 167 00:08:03.800 --> 00:08:05.920 of the pen, and then all their high leverage arms 168 00:08:05.920 --> 00:08:08.040 will be ready to go. The same can be set 169 00:08:08.079 --> 00:08:10.040 for the San Diego Padres. So we're excited for this one. 170 00:08:10.079 --> 00:08:12.360 Tim we'll talk to you a little bit later with 171 00:08:12.439 --> 00:08:13.639 some keys from Rick Monday. 172 00:08:13.839 --> 00:08:15.639 Sounds good, Thank you, Nelly.

Randy Vesquez the pitching man shuffle time t 192 00:09:15.759 --> 00:09:16.919 part of that matchup coming up. 193 00:09:16.960 --> 00:09:18.240 First pitch set for one ten. 194 00:09:18.840 --> 00:09:21.960 This is the Otani Rewe. 195 00:09:21.720 --> 00:09:24.399 Show Hey Otani to the play base is empty, one 196 00:09:24.440 --> 00:09:27.279 out in the fifth for nothing, San Diego. First pitch 197 00:09:27.480 --> 00:09:29.440 rounded in the right field for a base sit. 198 00:09:30.399 --> 00:09:33.200 Show Hey Otani, last night just the one base hit. 199 00:09:33.320 --> 00:09:35.759 Dodgers as a team collectively only had six hits in 200 00:09:35.799 --> 00:09:39.440 the game. Showy O'tani. One for three last night with 201 00:09:39.519 --> 00:09:42.519 the strikeout. That tells you the Dodgers just didn't do 202 00:09:42.600 --> 00:09:46.679 anything offensively. The leadoff hitter three at bats last night, 203 00:09:46.799 --> 00:09:49.759 one for three with the strikeout. Now hitting two ninety 204 00:09:49.759 --> 00:09:52.039 two on the season. Dodgers want to put away last night, 205 00:09:52.159 --> 00:09:54.519 put it behind them after losing to the Padres eleven 206 00:09:54.519 --> 00:09:55.039 to one. 207 00:09:55.440 --> 00:09:59.279 This is Kirston's Corner with Kirston Watson. 208 00:10:00.080 --> 00:10:01.960 Hey Kierson now joins us.

And last night was a game in 218 00:10:19.600 --> 00:10:23.679 which Dave Roberts he realized that Dylan Zis was phenomenal. 219 00:10:23.799 --> 00:10:27.399 He was essentially untouchable, unhittable, very much so. And so 220 00:10:27.879 --> 00:10:30.759 with Matt Souer, he intically have the command that he 221 00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:33.919 wanted to going into it, but he was able to 222 00:10:33.960 --> 00:10:36.000 eat up a lot of innings, so he was able 223 00:10:36.039 --> 00:10:38.919 to protect the bullpen, saving our key arms out of there. 224 00:10:38.960 --> 00:10:42.000 So they are available today to win the rubber match. 225 00:10:42.000 --> 00:10:44.120 And I think it's just that reminder of it's one 226 00:10:44.200 --> 00:10:47.440 hundred and sixty two regular season games, and yes, you 227 00:10:47.480 --> 00:10:49.480 want to win every single one of them, but sometimes 228 00:10:49.519 --> 00:10:52.120 you got a kind of plan for ahead when you 229 00:10:52.159 --> 00:10:55.879 recognize situation. So ultimately, with it being at the time 230 00:10:56.039 --> 00:10:59.200 a nine zero game for Kyk to come in and 231 00:10:59.320 --> 00:11:01.399 take the last three innings, that's kind of. 232 00:11:01.399 --> 00:11:02.759 What was needed today. 233 00:11:02.799 --> 00:11:05.519 The Dodgers, they're pitching plan a little different than what 234 00:11:05.559 --> 00:11:07.559 we thought it was going to be last night. 235 00:11:07.639 --> 00:11:09.159 For today's final game of the series. 236 00:11:10.240 --> 00:11:13.559 Exactly. Yeah, last night and even just coming into this series, 237 00:11:13.600 --> 00:11:15.799 we were told that Justin Robleski was going to have 238 00:11:15.840 --> 00:11:19.200 the start today but was considering how things went yesterday, 239 00:11:19.320 --> 00:11:22.279 still wanting to win this series and have an opportunity 240 00:11:22.320 --> 00:11:25.799 to win the series. Dave Roberts in just the coaching staff, 241 00:11:25.799 --> 00:11:28.960 they decided they wanted to go with Ben Casparius as 242 00:11:29.039 --> 00:11:32.279 the opener slash starter today. So we know that Bennison 243 00:11:32.360 --> 00:11:35.039 coming out of the bullpen taking down bulk inning, being 244 00:11:35.080 --> 00:11:38.519 a high leverage arm in different situations, but it sounds 245 00:11:38.559 --> 00:11:41.159 like they're going to start kind of stretching him out, 246 00:11:41.639 --> 00:11:45.000 potentially keeping him leaving him in the rotation. So we'll 247 00:11:45.000 --> 00:11:47.480 see what that looks like today. He's only built up 248 00:11:47.480 --> 00:11:50.519 to like that forty five fifty pitch count range, so 249 00:11:50.639 --> 00:11:53.879 Dave said that realistically three innings probably makes the most 250 00:11:53.879 --> 00:11:56.519 sense with him for this one today and then he's 251 00:11:56.559 --> 00:11:59.600 going to manage to win. So that could include Justin 252 00:11:59.639 --> 00:12:02.519 roeless in the pitching plan, or it could include just 253 00:12:02.960 --> 00:12:05.159 the rest of the bullpen in the high leverage arms 254 00:12:05.159 --> 00:12:08.440 that at least are available today because Matt sour By 255 00:12:08.480 --> 00:12:11.440 eating up all those innings yesterday was able to protect them. 256 00:12:11.559 --> 00:12:14.080 So we'll see exactly how it plays out as the 257 00:12:14.120 --> 00:12:16.600 game goes on, but it does sound like we might 258 00:12:16.639 --> 00:12:20.519 be seeing more of than taking down the first three 259 00:12:20.600 --> 00:12:23.360 potentially four inning spending on how efficient he is, and 260 00:12:23.440 --> 00:12:26.960 then more of a traditional bullten kind of game behind him. 261 00:12:27.080 --> 00:12:28.919 The most important thing is let's get a win and 262 00:12:29.000 --> 00:12:32.080 get home for the off day tomorrow. Kirist, We appreciate it. 263 00:12:32.080 --> 00:12:34.000 We'll check in with you after the game. Still to come. 264 00:12:34.000 --> 00:12:35.679 Here on Dodgers on Deck, we dive deeper to this 265 00:12:35.720 --> 00:12:38.879 benching matchup David Vesego's one on one with Dalton rushing. 266 00:12:38.879 --> 00:12:41.279 But up next we'll hear from the manager, Dave Roberts. 267 00:12:41.279 --> 00:12:43.879 It's the Dodgers and Padres on this Wednesday, first pitch 268 00:12:43.919 --> 00:12:46.200 at one ten.

Randy Vasquez will be 277 00:13:17.320 --> 00:13:19.480 on the mound for the Padres first pitch set for 278 00:13:19.559 --> 00:13:19.960 one ten. 279 00:13:20.399 --> 00:13:24.919 This he's the LA Dodgers Injury. 280 00:13:24.559 --> 00:13:27.879 Report presented by UCLA Healthy Official Medical partner of the 281 00:13:27.879 --> 00:13:30.639 Los Angeles Dodgers. Tony Gonsolin on the IL with the 282 00:13:30.720 --> 00:13:34.519 right elbow swordis Tyler Glass Noow Blake Snell both on 283 00:13:34.600 --> 00:13:37.480 the IL. Luis Garci on the IL IMiD she and 284 00:13:37.600 --> 00:13:40.879 working his way back from shoulder surgery. Brookie Sasaki on 285 00:13:40.960 --> 00:13:45.919 the IL with the right shoulder impingement. Tony Gonsolin with 286 00:13:46.080 --> 00:13:48.679 him on the IL, the Dodgers hoping Ben Casparrius can 287 00:13:48.720 --> 00:13:51.399 give him a little length today. Dave Roberts also hinting 288 00:13:51.399 --> 00:13:53.840 a little earlier that Freddie Freeman dealing with a little 289 00:13:53.960 --> 00:13:57.159 quad injury, but nothing to keep him out of the lineup. 290 00:13:57.159 --> 00:13:59.240 In fact, let's hear more from the manager Dave Roberts. 291 00:13:59.279 --> 00:14:02.240 Well head back to say, do you think. 292 00:14:02.639 --> 00:14:03.320 Questions for Dave? 293 00:14:03.399 --> 00:14:05.519 Dave, can you just describe Dave? 294 00:14:05.600 --> 00:14:09.039 Can you talk about the pressure in the dugouts with 295 00:14:09.279 --> 00:14:10.519 Dave Robbers. 296 00:14:11.480 --> 00:14:16.080 Yeah, I think that certainly, you know, go as long 297 00:14:16.080 --> 00:14:19.240 as you can, within reason, get as many outs as 298 00:14:19.240 --> 00:14:19.639 he can. 299 00:14:21.840 --> 00:14:22.000 You know. 300 00:14:22.039 --> 00:14:24.200 It's so I think that's kind of part of that. 301 00:14:26.000 --> 00:14:29.879 As far as going forward, we'll see what that means. 302 00:14:29.919 --> 00:14:36.080 As far as role, we're certainly uh, you know, with 303 00:14:36.080 --> 00:14:39.279 with things that are going on with the rotation. Obviously 304 00:14:39.360 --> 00:14:43.879 the way Ben's performed being a former starting pitcher. We 305 00:14:44.120 --> 00:14:48.840 like this kind of transition right now. What that means 306 00:14:48.879 --> 00:14:51.639 after today, we'll see, But we feel good about Ben 307 00:14:51.759 --> 00:14:54.879 starting today and eating up as many outs, and as 308 00:14:54.919 --> 00:14:59.440 far as after I think we feel good about leverage 309 00:14:59.639 --> 00:15:02.000 versus is kind of covering the game and all that. 310 00:15:02.559 --> 00:15:05.039 Could you see. I guess the situation which potentially you 311 00:15:05.039 --> 00:15:07.360 can start stretching him alan to start taking down a 312 00:15:07.399 --> 00:15:10.799 little bit more innings, it need be just considering the injuries. 313 00:15:10.440 --> 00:15:12.759 Like you mentioned, I think so, Yeah, I think that's 314 00:15:12.799 --> 00:15:16.039 certainly a likely possibility. 315 00:15:15.519 --> 00:15:19.080 With Justin Okay, is that my probabtively hold him gang 316 00:15:19.120 --> 00:15:20.519 a little bit healthier so you don't have to rely 317 00:15:20.679 --> 00:15:23.159 on Ben as much as the leverage for a situation. 318 00:15:24.440 --> 00:15:27.480 I think that that's one part of it. I also 319 00:15:27.600 --> 00:15:31.200 think part of the fact that, you know, losing Gonsolin 320 00:15:33.080 --> 00:15:39.320 kind of also you know, created a different opportunity for 321 00:15:39.440 --> 00:15:41.679 Ben or need any way you want to look at it. 322 00:15:42.159 --> 00:15:45.799 Has there been conversation then, but you know Ben's pitch 323 00:15:45.960 --> 00:15:49.559 very well. Is this the best way to maximize that? 324 00:15:50.440 --> 00:15:54.000 Yeah, I think that's kind of internally kind of figuring 325 00:15:54.000 --> 00:15:59.720 out how we get through this period before we get 326 00:15:59.759 --> 00:16:03.360 out of guys back to health and you know, what's 327 00:16:03.399 --> 00:16:07.000 best for Ben, what's best for our ball club in 328 00:16:07.039 --> 00:16:09.440 this moment in time. So those are the conversations, and 329 00:16:10.240 --> 00:16:13.039 you know, Skearsen said, potentially there's a chance to continue 330 00:16:13.080 --> 00:16:15.679 to build him up, which you know right now. 331 00:16:15.559 --> 00:16:18.159 Makes sense if you talk to him about it and 332 00:16:18.279 --> 00:16:19.440 kind of pitched it to him. 333 00:16:19.879 --> 00:16:22.559 I don't think there needs to be a pitch. I 334 00:16:22.600 --> 00:16:25.559 think that this is kind of he's in for whatever 335 00:16:26.399 --> 00:16:27.360 is asked of him. 336 00:16:27.919 --> 00:16:29.840 What is he kind of stretched out to right now? 337 00:16:29.960 --> 00:16:34.039 Like the three I think I think three, I think 338 00:16:34.080 --> 00:16:38.440 three and forty five. I think I liked for today 339 00:16:38.480 --> 00:16:39.320 something like that. 340 00:16:40.360 --> 00:16:44.279 Dave last night game ending double play. It didn't seem 341 00:16:44.320 --> 00:16:47.320 like Freddy was really running that hard. Is there anything 342 00:16:47.360 --> 00:16:48.200 going on with him. 343 00:16:48.799 --> 00:16:53.759 Yeah, yeah, Actually he's dealing with the little quad, a 344 00:16:53.799 --> 00:16:57.600 little quad thing, and so he was not going to 345 00:16:57.639 --> 00:17:00.720 come out of the game. So I think that for 346 00:17:01.000 --> 00:17:03.679 for me, my deal with him is that if you're 347 00:17:03.679 --> 00:17:06.720 going to play today, stay in the game last night, 348 00:17:06.839 --> 00:17:10.759 then manage it, so let's not go crazy on the basis. 349 00:17:10.799 --> 00:17:12.799 So they got the ankle thing, and then he's obviously 350 00:17:12.839 --> 00:17:16.279 dealing with this quad, so yeah, if you're not giving 351 00:17:16.319 --> 00:17:19.319 one hundred and ten percent down the line, that's no problem. 352 00:17:19.400 --> 00:17:21.759 So he is managing a quad situation. So yeah, thanks 353 00:17:21.799 --> 00:17:22.119 for asking. 354 00:17:22.359 --> 00:17:24.000 All Right, there's a manager, Dave Roberts. 355 00:17:24.039 --> 00:17:28.160 More on that, Freddy's Quad, Ben casparraous Dodgers changing the 356 00:17:28.200 --> 00:17:31.039 lineup up today with David vasse As. We continue next 357 00:17:31.240 --> 00:17:34.000 here on Marongo Casino Dodgers on deck coming up again 358 00:17:34.079 --> 00:17:36.359 in about twenty minutes.

I'm Tim Kas' is 364 00:17:50.359 --> 00:17:53.000 the world champion Los Angeles Dodgers on your network. 365 00:17:55.559 --> 00:18:02.000 As we were saying, yes's Marongo Casino on the official 366 00:18:02.079 --> 00:18:04.279 home of La Dodgers Baseball. 367 00:18:05.839 --> 00:18:09.519 It's the Dodgers and the Badres, Bencus Various, Randy Vasquez, 368 00:18:09.519 --> 00:18:12.200 a pitching matchups, serious finalitey rubber game of this three 369 00:18:12.200 --> 00:18:13.559 game cent first bitch coming up a one. 370 00:18:13.559 --> 00:18:18.079 Ten joining Tim Cats on Dodgers on deck. 371 00:18:18.160 --> 00:18:19.920 I accept everybody for who they are. 372 00:18:20.000 --> 00:18:23.240 This is Dodger insider David Bassi. 373 00:18:23.640 --> 00:18:25.559 All right, David, just a few minutes ago, we heard 374 00:18:25.559 --> 00:18:28.519 your question to Dave Roberts about Freddie Freeman. 375 00:18:28.880 --> 00:18:30.119 When did this pop up? 376 00:18:30.160 --> 00:18:34.359 This quad injury last night in the seventh inning, Tim, 377 00:18:34.480 --> 00:18:38.799 is when it really reaggravated itself or reared its head 378 00:18:38.839 --> 00:18:42.039 as far as Freddy's concerned. So you know I noticed 379 00:18:42.039 --> 00:18:44.640 it as you heard me ask on the final play 380 00:18:44.720 --> 00:18:47.799 of the yesterday's game. A very forgettable game if you're 381 00:18:47.799 --> 00:18:51.039 the Dodgers, but a game ending double play and very 382 00:18:51.119 --> 00:18:54.480 uncharacteristic of Freddy just to kind of jog up the 383 00:18:54.519 --> 00:18:57.440 first base line. But there was a reason. I believe 384 00:18:57.440 --> 00:19:01.039 it's his left quad that is compromised right now on 385 00:19:01.200 --> 00:19:06.000 top of his right ankle, and look, Freddie wants to 386 00:19:06.000 --> 00:19:08.799 be out there for as close to one hundred and 387 00:19:08.839 --> 00:19:13.039 sixty two games. So Dave Roberts is trusting him that 388 00:19:13.160 --> 00:19:16.359 he can manage this quad injury, and that's why he 389 00:19:16.480 --> 00:19:20.160 allowed him to play today, day off tomorrow as you know, 390 00:19:20.400 --> 00:19:24.200 so hopefully this doesn't turn into a more serious injury. 391 00:19:24.200 --> 00:19:28.000 But Dave Roberts is not only trusting Freddie Freeman to 392 00:19:28.039 --> 00:19:31.079 manage the injury, get treatment on that injury on the quad, 393 00:19:31.480 --> 00:19:34.960 but also not try to do anything ill advised on 394 00:19:35.039 --> 00:19:38.039 the basis trying to extend a single into a double 395 00:19:38.160 --> 00:19:40.799 going first to third. You're going to see a station 396 00:19:40.920 --> 00:19:42.920 to station Freddy Freeman today. 397 00:19:42.880 --> 00:19:44.720 David is driven by Ford. There's one thing we like 398 00:19:44.799 --> 00:19:47.039 its choices.
