Glass Now got 28 00:01:28.400 --> 00:01:31.680 the start. The right hander pitch seven strong innings. He 29 00:01:31.760 --> 00:01:34.280 louches two runs on five hits while striking out four 30 00:01:34.319 --> 00:01:37.120 along the way. Klass Now got some early run support 31 00:01:37.159 --> 00:01:39.159 in the bottom of the first Freddie Freeman at two 32 00:01:39.159 --> 00:01:41.239 out double that brought up Will Smith. 33 00:01:41.239 --> 00:01:44.120 Hits the Will swings, hits the ball well the right 34 00:01:44.200 --> 00:01:47.719 field Jeewan Bay does not have it. It's gonna bounce 35 00:01:47.760 --> 00:01:50.079 off the track and off the wall.

That was it 51 00:02:30.199 --> 00:02:32.520 Dodgers with a four to two lead when Glass now 52 00:02:32.560 --> 00:02:34.960 turned it over to the bullpen. However, the eighth was 53 00:02:35.000 --> 00:02:37.240 a rocky one for Anthony Bonda.

Very 104 00:04:59.439 --> 00:05:03.079 important for the Dodgers, but most importantly, they get Mookie 105 00:05:03.160 --> 00:05:04.199 Bets back to night Mare. 106 00:05:04.480 --> 00:05:08.560 Even when the Dodgers boarded their plane at Lax last 107 00:05:08.680 --> 00:05:12.720 night after winning the final game of that series against 108 00:05:12.759 --> 00:05:17.199 the Pittsburgh Pirates, even the captain made an announcement welcome 109 00:05:17.279 --> 00:05:20.600 back Mookie Betts, happy to have you board and there 110 00:05:20.680 --> 00:05:23.120 was some applause that took place in the Dodger playing So, yeah, 111 00:05:23.160 --> 00:05:26.199 it's catching everybody's attention, and he just wonders that what's 112 00:05:26.199 --> 00:05:29.360 going on inside Mookie Betts. Forty five games he had 113 00:05:29.439 --> 00:05:32.199 missed in that period of time, and he's going to 114 00:05:32.240 --> 00:05:34.399 batt at the number two spot and be in right 115 00:05:34.439 --> 00:05:35.040 field tonight. 116 00:05:35.279 --> 00:05:38.199 The Dodgers with Mookie Bets in the lineup for forty 117 00:05:38.279 --> 00:05:41.639 four and twenty nine, without him five games over five 118 00:05:41.720 --> 00:05:44.839 hundred and just twenty five and twenty he'll be batting 119 00:05:44.879 --> 00:05:45.680 in the second spot. 120 00:05:45.720 --> 00:05:47.120 It's not unfamiliar to him. 121 00:05:47.120 --> 00:05:49.639 He's done it enough in his big league career, most 122 00:05:49.680 --> 00:05:52.399 recently with the Boston Red Sox in twenty nineteen. He 123 00:05:52.439 --> 00:05:54.720 had a substantial number of games where he was in 124 00:05:54.759 --> 00:05:55.680 that number two position. 125 00:05:55.720 --> 00:05:57.759 And it's not just about Mookie Betts. This is about 126 00:05:57.759 --> 00:05:59.759 the Dodgers kind of turning things on. Look at the 127 00:05:59.800 --> 00:06:02.759 last thirty five games they've gone, well, they're game below 128 00:06:02.800 --> 00:06:05.800 five hundred, they're seventeen and eighteen. He start to think back, 129 00:06:06.160 --> 00:06:09.519 not that long ago, twenty third of July, the Dodgers 130 00:06:09.560 --> 00:06:11.879 had an eight and a half game lead in the 131 00:06:11.879 --> 00:06:14.439 Western Division of the National League. With that lead has 132 00:06:14.480 --> 00:06:16.879 now been trimmed at three and a half by both 133 00:06:17.000 --> 00:06:20.480 Arizona and San Diego. They're playing good baseball and if 134 00:06:20.480 --> 00:06:23.240 the Dodgers hoping, obviously as you mentioned, to try and 135 00:06:23.279 --> 00:06:23.879 get back. 136 00:06:23.680 --> 00:06:26.600 On track, ta Oscar Hernandez had the walk off hit 137 00:06:26.680 --> 00:06:30.160 of the tenth inning to sink the Pirates yesterday. He 138 00:06:30.279 --> 00:06:34.040 has been terrific this month and nine August games, tay 139 00:06:34.120 --> 00:06:37.160 Oscar is hitting four thirty two, sixteen out of thirty seven, 140 00:06:37.279 --> 00:06:40.480 four home runs, twelve runs scored, and again came up 141 00:06:40.480 --> 00:06:42.000 with the clutch single in the town. 142 00:06:42.240 --> 00:06:42.439 Yeah. 143 00:06:42.519 --> 00:06:44.680 And if we look at the lineup tonight, Kevin Kiermer 144 00:06:44.800 --> 00:06:47.319 is going to be starting in center field, kicking Hernanis 145 00:06:47.360 --> 00:06:50.519 again at third base. What has changed the overall look 146 00:06:50.639 --> 00:06:53.680 is the position in the batting order of Will Smith, 147 00:06:53.800 --> 00:06:55.639 because if you look at Will Smith, he's going to 148 00:06:55.680 --> 00:06:59.199 bat six tonight and the last thirty days for Smith, 149 00:06:59.240 --> 00:07:01.680 it has been a struggling swinging the bat better the 150 00:07:01.759 --> 00:07:04.199 last three games that he's played in, but the last 151 00:07:04.240 --> 00:07:08.319 thirty overall just a one forty one batting average against. 152 00:07:08.399 --> 00:07:11.759 In just about every month since April, that average has 153 00:07:11.800 --> 00:07:14.680 gone down and down. He says he's healthy and hopefully 154 00:07:14.920 --> 00:07:16.480 that swing's gonna get healthy again. 155 00:07:16.639 --> 00:07:19.800 Smith, hitting behind Gavin Lucks Lux, has earned his spot 156 00:07:20.120 --> 00:07:22.279 in the batting order. He has been terrific since the 157 00:07:22.360 --> 00:07:22.800 All Star bar. 158 00:07:22.959 --> 00:07:25.480 Yeah, and if this Dodger ball club hoping obviously for 159 00:07:25.519 --> 00:07:28.800 a good performers by Clayton Kershaw his fourth start, still 160 00:07:28.839 --> 00:07:31.439 looking for his first victory, but he's had good success 161 00:07:31.519 --> 00:07:34.959 over the years eight and five with an ERA under 162 00:07:35.079 --> 00:07:38.560 three and eighteen starts career against the Milwaukee Brewers. 163 00:07:38.639 --> 00:07:43.800 Clayton Kershaw and two facing Freddy Peralta, who is seven 164 00:07:44.000 --> 00:07:46.800 and six.

How difficult was it to tell on 307 00:14:38.519 --> 00:14:41.480 met he was the guy that is the odd man out. 308 00:14:42.080 --> 00:14:45.840 It's it's a it was a difficult conversation.

And they 378 00:18:21.680 --> 00:18:25.559 are very happy that Mooki read the room and understood 379 00:18:25.599 --> 00:18:28.680 that his best place to help the team win at 380 00:18:28.680 --> 00:18:32.839 this juncture with forty five games to go is right field, 381 00:18:32.880 --> 00:18:36.279 and he's in there batting second. As Dave Roberts outlined 382 00:18:36.480 --> 00:18:40.240 for us, that would happen when Mooki returned tonight. And 383 00:18:40.440 --> 00:18:43.839 I saw Mooki out here earlier working with Clayton McCullough, 384 00:18:43.880 --> 00:18:46.920 who works with the outfielders. He was long tossing, and 385 00:18:47.319 --> 00:18:49.960 I guess that's the biggest question in my mind, where 386 00:18:50.079 --> 00:18:53.079 is the arm for Mookie Betts, because all season long 387 00:18:53.519 --> 00:18:57.000 he's been making throws from shortstop. But my understanding is 388 00:18:57.319 --> 00:19:00.119 he was still throwing the baseball to first base. It's 389 00:19:00.200 --> 00:19:02.960 the same way he would from right field. When he 390 00:19:03.000 --> 00:19:06.599 got hurt. They were trying to adjust his throwing motion 391 00:19:06.880 --> 00:19:10.160 from shortstop. But obviously it's like riding a bike for 392 00:19:10.319 --> 00:19:14.279 Mookie Bets. And many that have seen Willie May's play 393 00:19:14.400 --> 00:19:17.359 tim and there's not too many of those anymore. Unfortunately, 394 00:19:17.880 --> 00:19:20.279 they say that Mooki Bets is right there as an 395 00:19:20.279 --> 00:19:24.759 outfielder with the great Willie Mays and this just feels perfect, David. 396 00:19:24.799 --> 00:19:26.839 In order to activate Mookie, they had to make a 397 00:19:26.880 --> 00:19:29.680 corresponding move and kind of the surprise move. 398 00:19:29.759 --> 00:19:33.160 I guess yeah. Ahmed Rosario was a casualty of the 399 00:19:33.240 --> 00:19:37.680 roster crunch. It's the first of many tough roster decisions 400 00:19:37.720 --> 00:19:39.920 the Dodgers will have to make in the next seven 401 00:19:39.960 --> 00:19:43.400
