I knew it was hot, but 101 00:04:48.680 --> 00:04:50.040 I didn't realize it was just that hot. 102 00:04:51.959 --> 00:04:53.720 My brain's fried after yesterday. 103 00:04:53.759 --> 00:04:56.160 You know, it is one thing, and this series, I mean, 104 00:04:56.160 --> 00:04:58.600 the Dodgers don't take it for granted because basically, if 105 00:04:58.639 --> 00:05:01.040 you look at the Cubs, their backs are against the 106 00:05:01.079 --> 00:05:04.040 proverbial wall if they have any hopes of being in 107 00:05:04.079 --> 00:05:07.040 postseason playing. If you look at the wild Card, I mean, 108 00:05:07.560 --> 00:05:10.639 the Cubs standing second place in the Nation League Central 109 00:05:10.680 --> 00:05:13.160 but nine games behind them with Walker Brewers, that's an 110 00:05:13.160 --> 00:05:16.000 impossible number to make them. Question is can they make 111 00:05:16.079 --> 00:05:18.360 up five games in the standings in the Wildcard of 112 00:05:18.360 --> 00:05:21.279 the National League. So these are desperate times and the 113 00:05:21.319 --> 00:05:23.199 Cubs come in they had not been hitting, and for 114 00:05:23.279 --> 00:05:26.079 Walker Buehler would like to continue that mode because he's 115 00:05:26.079 --> 00:05:27.279 starting for the Dodgers tonight. 116 00:05:27.560 --> 00:05:29.959 You talk about the Cubs, the offense went ice cold 117 00:05:30.079 --> 00:05:33.079 on its homestead, especially this last series they had against 118 00:05:33.079 --> 00:05:35.360 the Yankees over the weekend. They won yesterday to avoid 119 00:05:35.439 --> 00:05:39.000 getting swept. They only gave up six total runs to 120 00:05:39.040 --> 00:05:41.000 New York their entire weekend, and they still lost the 121 00:05:41.040 --> 00:05:43.800 series because they had just seven total hits. But the 122 00:05:43.800 --> 00:05:46.519 pitching staff has been performing well for Chicago, so we'll 123 00:05:46.519 --> 00:05:48.920 see what kind of battle that presents. What has been 124 00:05:48.959 --> 00:05:52.279 the most encouraging thing about in your eyes, of what 125 00:05:52.279 --> 00:05:55.519 you've seen from the Dodgers the last few games here, 126 00:05:55.600 --> 00:05:57.120 you know, the first three games of this homestand and 127 00:05:57.160 --> 00:05:58.720 going back now on a week and a half. 128 00:05:58.800 --> 00:06:01.360 I think everybody's talking about Townty, no question about it. 129 00:06:01.680 --> 00:06:05.000 I think of another guy that's Jack Flaherty. We saw him. 130 00:06:05.079 --> 00:06:09.279 I mean, you talk about additions the Dodgers made this year, 131 00:06:09.360 --> 00:06:11.639 and for Flaherty came in picked up the win, his 132 00:06:11.720 --> 00:06:14.079 twelfth of the season, making his twenty fifth start. That 133 00:06:14.199 --> 00:06:16.879 was on Sunday, and what a breath of fresh air 134 00:06:16.920 --> 00:06:20.879 he has been able to provide, not only in keeping 135 00:06:20.959 --> 00:06:24.279 opposing teams down, but also giving the bullpen a rest, 136 00:06:24.360 --> 00:06:28.000 and they came in to the weekend series against Cleveland 137 00:06:28.279 --> 00:06:30.199 in desperate need of a breather. 138 00:06:30.639 --> 00:06:34.279 Jack Flaherty has ascended to the top spot in the 139 00:06:34.319 --> 00:06:37.000 Dodger rotation. He has been pitching like an ace all 140 00:06:37.040 --> 00:06:40.079 season long, whether in the Tiger uniform or Dodger uniform. 141 00:06:40.120 --> 00:06:40.800 He's not the. 142 00:06:40.680 --> 00:06:44.360 Only Harvard Westlake Wolverine here at Dodgers Stadium for these 143 00:06:44.399 --> 00:06:47.959 next three games. The Cubs starting centerfielder Pete crol Armstrong 144 00:06:48.639 --> 00:06:51.040 went to Harvard Westlake as well. Of course the return 145 00:06:51.079 --> 00:06:53.120 of Cody Bellinger.

So is this a huge 205 00:10:01.639 --> 00:10:03.919 day for Mookie beds He When he spoke to the 206 00:10:03.960 --> 00:10:07.200 media about the nominee, he talks about just one, how 207 00:10:07.360 --> 00:10:10.559 honored he was to be nominated, but two about the 208 00:10:10.600 --> 00:10:14.480 work that he his wife, Bree, his cousin Unique, all 209 00:10:14.559 --> 00:10:16.919 the work that they have done together with the fifty 210 00:10:16.960 --> 00:10:19.679 to fifty Foundation, and how meaningful this has been to 211 00:10:19.759 --> 00:10:24.159 support the community, to support children, whether it's in academic settings, 212 00:10:24.200 --> 00:10:27.240 whether it's on the baseball field, things like that. So, 213 00:10:27.600 --> 00:10:31.159 you know, for him, he was just saying, obviously with 214 00:10:31.279 --> 00:10:33.879 a winner's mentality, I asked him how they're going to 215 00:10:33.919 --> 00:10:37.000 celebrate this nominee and he goes, we celebrate when we win. 216 00:10:37.159 --> 00:10:39.000 You know, for him, if he wins the award, they 217 00:10:39.000 --> 00:10:41.399 will celebrate, but right now they can recognize all the 218 00:10:41.440 --> 00:10:43.879 hard work that they've punted it, but that they have 219 00:10:44.000 --> 00:10:46.519 put in. And he even talked about how this is 220 00:10:46.559 --> 00:10:48.720 something that's always been instilled in him since he was 221 00:10:48.759 --> 00:10:50.679 a young boy. He was saying he remembers when he 222 00:10:50.720 --> 00:10:52.960 was younger going to school and his mom and dad 223 00:10:52.960 --> 00:10:55.679 always saying to share his snacks, and you know, things 224 00:10:55.799 --> 00:10:57.679 like that are kind of a way of how he 225 00:10:57.720 --> 00:10:59.320 was giving back when he was younger, and now that 226 00:10:59.360 --> 00:11:02.080 he obviously has the means and the platform to do 227 00:11:02.120 --> 00:11:05.960 it on a much larger scale. So this it's very 228 00:11:06.240 --> 00:11:07.639 it's something very special for him. 229 00:11:07.879 --> 00:11:10.720 Yeah, no doubt about that. That's a great honor for him. 230 00:11:11.240 --> 00:11:13.759 Tonight the Dodgers started a series with the Cubs, and 231 00:11:13.799 --> 00:11:16.080 for Walker viewer, this is a start. They really need 232 00:11:16.120 --> 00:11:18.279 to get something out of him, and Dave Roberts needs 233 00:11:18.320 --> 00:11:19.879 to see something if he wants to be a part 234 00:11:19.879 --> 00:11:20.799 of this October roster. 235 00:11:20.919 --> 00:11:24.200 Right, Yeah, it is, And for Walker it seems like, 236 00:11:24.279 --> 00:11:26.360 especially when look at the last few outings, one the 237 00:11:26.960 --> 00:11:29.759 results have been good, but two he's talked about how 238 00:11:29.879 --> 00:11:32.519 they've been building blocks. So the hope is for today 239 00:11:32.600 --> 00:11:35.279 to be, of course another building block for him, but 240 00:11:35.320 --> 00:11:37.919 it's also about showing just that compete and we've been 241 00:11:37.919 --> 00:11:39.679 seeing that. I think it's fair to say we've been 242 00:11:39.720 --> 00:11:41.960 seeing that as of late, as how he has been 243 00:11:42.000 --> 00:11:45.039 throwing really competitive pitches. But Dave roberts Day was talking 244 00:11:45.039 --> 00:11:48.679 about how, look, yes there are nineteen games left in 245 00:11:48.679 --> 00:11:52.440 the regular season, including tonight, and what he's looking for 246 00:11:52.720 --> 00:11:56.840 in players, it's every pitch, it's every at bat. You 247 00:11:56.919 --> 00:11:58.720 can't give him up at this moment. It's what it's 248 00:11:58.759 --> 00:12:01.000 the decisions you're making on defuse because right now it's 249 00:12:01.039 --> 00:12:04.759 about preparing for October. Look, this team has big goals 250 00:12:04.799 --> 00:12:06.840 of playing until the very end of October. They want 251 00:12:06.840 --> 00:12:08.480 to be in the World Series. We've seen how the 252 00:12:08.559 --> 00:12:11.759 last few years have been handled and they don't want 253 00:12:11.759 --> 00:12:14.320 to go out that way. So when you're looking at 254 00:12:14.320 --> 00:12:16.720 things right now, he actually really celebrated landon Nag and 255 00:12:16.759 --> 00:12:19.519 showing that you know, he is someone who he is 256 00:12:20.000 --> 00:12:22.240 putting it all out there right now. He's competing and 257 00:12:22.279 --> 00:12:25.639 he's showing that how he can compete on the big stage. 258 00:12:26.240 --> 00:12:28.559 We've been seeing it in bits from Walker Bueler. It 259 00:12:28.559 --> 00:12:30.279 seems like that's been one of those kind of final 260 00:12:30.279 --> 00:12:33.200 things that's been clicking into him as he's been leveling 261 00:12:33.240 --> 00:12:35.759 up his play of games. So for these guys, he 262 00:12:35.840 --> 00:12:38.279 just wants to see a continuation with that because a 263 00:12:38.360 --> 00:12:41.799 spot on the postseason roster is not a guarantee, and 264 00:12:42.000 --> 00:12:44.639 they know how Walker can perform in the postseason. So 265 00:12:44.720 --> 00:12:47.159 now it's about preparing him to do just that that 266 00:12:47.240 --> 00:12:49.480 he is a part of that conversation come October. 267 00:12:49.559 --> 00:12:51.200 We let's see what he can do tonight, Kirriston, we 268 00:12:51.240 --> 00:12:52.840 appreciate it.

It just 361 00:17:21.400 --> 00:17:25.440 seemed like certain movements gave him discomfort and even pain. 362 00:17:25.640 --> 00:17:29.000 So it wasn't surprising when we saw the Dodgers starting 363 00:17:29.000 --> 00:17:32.240 lineup that Teoscar Hernandez was not in it. 364 00:17:32.480 --> 00:17:34.720 That doesn't cause alarm for anybody. 365 00:17:34.839 --> 00:17:37.920 Dave Roberts was out there earlier today just watching him 366 00:17:38.000 --> 00:17:40.359 run as he heard in the last segment. But if 367 00:17:40.400 --> 00:17:43.920 he wakes up tomorrow and the foot pain and discomfort 368 00:17:44.119 --> 00:17:47.640 is not what it was yesterday, I'm sure he'll be 369 00:17:47.759 --> 00:17:48.279 back in there. 370 00:17:48.279 --> 00:17:49.960 If not tomorrow, then on Wednesday. 371 00:17:50.000 --> 00:17:53.359 And also that's the day that Bruce star graderol is 372 00:17:53.440 --> 00:17:54.960 expected to be activated. 373 00:17:55.519 --> 00:17:58.599 David Walker Bueller gets the start tonight. It's a big 374 00:17:58.640 --> 00:17:59.519 one for him, isn't it. 375 00:17:59.799 --> 00:17:59.960 Yeah? 376 00:18:00.119 --> 00:18:02.359 That is I feel like he still has to prove 377 00:18:02.440 --> 00:18:07.279 himself that he deserves a spot, and the Dodgers playoff rotation. 378 00:18:07.519 --> 00:18:09.519 I know it looks a little thin right now, but 379 00:18:09.599 --> 00:18:13.720 the Dodgers are getting Yamamoto back tomorrow, and the Dodgers 380 00:18:13.720 --> 00:18:16.759 are going to get Tyler Glass now back probably when 381 00:18:16.759 --> 00:18:20.680 they return home from this next road trip. And here's 382 00:18:20.720 --> 00:18:24.319 what Andrew Freeman had to say last week about his 383 00:18:24.480 --> 00:18:27.720 thoughts of what he's seen from Walker Bueller so far. 384 00:18:28.240 --> 00:18:30.279 I mean, we've talked about this a lot, you know, 385 00:18:30.400 --> 00:18:33.480 even when you're scuffling there for a little bit, his 386 00:18:33.640 --> 00:18:36.400 stuff was very similar to where he was in twenty 387 00:18:36.440 --> 00:18:40.640 twenty one. And you know finished, I don't remember top 388 00:18:40.680 --> 00:18:44.200 five in the sye. It was just about execution which 389 00:18:44.240 --> 00:18:46.799 gets to the delivery can be a little bit off, 390 00:18:46.839 --> 00:18:51.039 and especially as you're you know, feeling your body again 391 00:18:51.079 --> 00:18:57.000 and going through that normal pitching routine every five days, 392 00:18:57.720 --> 00:19:02.279 every six days, challenging to execute at the level that 393 00:19:02.319 --> 00:19:07.599 he executed before, but knowing that he was capable of 394 00:19:07.640 --> 00:19:10.640 it and excelled at it in the past always gave 395 00:19:10.720 --> 00:19:13.200 us the confidence that we'd be able to figure it out. 396 00:19:13.559 --> 00:19:17.880 And these last two have been really promising on that front. 397 00:19:17.920 --> 00:19:21.240 His ability to mix pitches and execute have been a 398 00:19:21.359 --> 00:19:24.160 huge part of why he's pitched so well, and we're 399 00:19:24.200 --> 00:19:25.880 really excited about where he's at. 400 00:19:26.039 --> 00:19:26.119 All. 401 00:19:26.240 --> 00:19:28.079
