28
00:01:29.879 --> 00:01:34.239
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers scored early and scored often for Jack Flerity, who

29
00:01:34.319 --> 00:01:37.200
<v Speaker 2>was dealing at Dodger Stadium. Jack Flerity made his first

30
00:01:37.239 --> 00:01:39.439

<v Speaker 3>The Pride of Burbank.

32
00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:42.640

33
00:01:42.760 --> 00:01:45.560
<v Speaker 2>nine hits while striking out ten along the way. The

34
00:01:45.599 --> 00:01:48.439
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers offense gave Jack Flerty plenty of run support to

35
00:01:48.480 --> 00:01:50.920
<v Speaker 2>work with. In the first inning, Freddie Freeman got it

36
00:01:50.959 --> 00:01:52.719
<v Speaker 2>started with the solo blast.

37
00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:57.879
<v Speaker 4>Girls on toy the right field corner, and it is gone.

<v Speaker 3>A hole bro.

39
00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:02.480
<v Speaker 5>A hard line drive.

40
00:02:02.599 --> 00:02:06.599
<v Speaker 4>Not a lot of alptitude, but it got out in

41
00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:07.120
<v Speaker 4>a hurry.

42
00:02:07.640 --> 00:02:09.199
<v Speaker 6>Dodgers with the early lead.

43
00:02:09.879 --> 00:02:12.520
<v Speaker 5>I'm Freddy Freeman, seventeenth home run.

44
00:02:12.319 --> 00:02:12.719
<v Speaker 4>Of the year.

45
00:02:12.919 --> 00:02:15.520
<v Speaker 2>Seventeenth home run of the season for Freeman. Dodgers up

46
00:02:15.520 --> 00:02:18.199
<v Speaker 2>one to nothing. In the third, Dodgers offense really got

47
00:02:18.240 --> 00:02:20.400
<v Speaker 2>it going. Andy Pott has a one out walk. Next

48
00:02:20.400 --> 00:02:22.919
<v Speaker 2>batter show he Otani hit his thirty fifth home run

49
00:02:22.960 --> 00:02:25.439
<v Speaker 2>of the season, four hundred and forty eight feet to

50
00:02:25.479 --> 00:02:28.280
<v Speaker 2>center field. Dodgers up three to nothing, and they're just

51
00:02:28.280 --> 00:02:31.680
<v Speaker 2>getting started. To Oscar Hernandez a walk, Freddie Freeman a

52
00:02:31.759 --> 00:02:35.000
<v Speaker 2>double that brought up the struggling Will Smith LA.

53
00:02:35.159 --> 00:02:36.080
<v Speaker 4>All the stars are up.

54
00:02:36.439 --> 00:02:39.000
<v Speaker 7>Oh a little excuse me, swing and that's gonna fall

55
00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:42.280
<v Speaker 7>in fair to right field. Here comes ta Oscar to score,

57
00:02:45.639 --> 00:02:47.159
<v Speaker 4>And I didn't mean to do it, but.

58
00:02:47.120 --> 00:02:50.680
<v Speaker 7>I'm glad I did hit for Will. Smith drives in

59
00:02:50.759 --> 00:02:53.199
<v Speaker 7>two more and the Dodgers leave hit five nothing.

60
00:02:53.639 --> 00:02:55.439
<v Speaker 4>I don't want to swing. I don't want to swing.

61
00:02:55.520 --> 00:02:58.919
<v Speaker 3>Oh nice swing, two runs single for Will.

62
00:02:59.000 --> 00:03:01.599
<v Speaker 2>He needed that. One under one hundred so far in

<v Speaker 2>as we say hello to Tim Nevertt and Rick Monday.

86
00:04:04.800 --> 00:04:06.719
<v Speaker 4>Guys, thanks very much, Tim.

87
00:04:06.800 --> 00:04:10.719
<v Speaker 7>It is a sunny and warm evening here at Dodgers Stadium.

88
00:04:10.759 --> 00:04:15.560
<v Speaker 7>Dodgers and Pirates, Game two of this three game weekend set.

89
00:04:15.599 --> 00:04:19.800
<v Speaker 7>The Dodgers start to night sixty seven and forty nine. Well,

90
00:04:19.800 --> 00:04:22.720
<v Speaker 7>the Pirates are fifty six and fifty nine. So tonight

91
00:04:22.839 --> 00:04:26.720
<v Speaker 7>Paul Skenes, who started the All Star Game for the

92
00:04:26.800 --> 00:04:29.240
<v Speaker 7>National League and is one of the leading contenders for

93
00:04:29.360 --> 00:04:32.800
<v Speaker 7>National League Rookie of the Year, He'll go for Pittsburgh River.

94
00:04:33.000 --> 00:04:37.920
<v Speaker 7>Ryan Dodger Rookie will go for the Dodgers, and tonight show, Hey,

95
00:04:37.920 --> 00:04:41.639
<v Speaker 7>Otani can do something with just one little double that

96
00:04:41.800 --> 00:04:45.199
<v Speaker 7>only two other Dodgers have done before, and Moe. If

97
00:04:45.240 --> 00:04:48.839
<v Speaker 7>he gets one more double, he'll have thirty doubles, thirty

98
00:04:48.879 --> 00:04:51.680
<v Speaker 7>five home runs, thirty two stolen bases. He would become

99
00:04:51.720 --> 00:04:56.079
<v Speaker 7>the third ever Dodger to be a thirty thirty thirty guy.

100
00:04:56.720 --> 00:04:59.480
<v Speaker 7>Only Matt Kemp in twenty eleven and Roal Mondesy in

101
00:04:59.519 --> 00:05:01.279
<v Speaker 7>nineteen ninety seven have done it.

102
00:05:01.360 --> 00:05:04.040
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, and Matt Kemp is going to be hearing the

103
00:05:04.160 --> 00:05:08.720
<v Speaker 5>fact he's here this weekend, it's really amazing. We look

104
00:05:08.759 --> 00:05:12.279
<v Speaker 5>at Otani, he's on a different level and we're gonna

105
00:05:12.279 --> 00:05:14.519
<v Speaker 5>have to keep score as far as all the different

106
00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:19.519
<v Speaker 5>records that he is accumulating and in atmosphere that does

107
00:05:19.560 --> 00:05:22.240
<v Speaker 5>not really get to approach that often, not only hitting

108
00:05:22.240 --> 00:05:25.519
<v Speaker 5>the ball the distance wisely how frequently he hits it,

109
00:05:26.040 --> 00:05:28.279
<v Speaker 5>the timely hit that he has, and then you look

110
00:05:28.279 --> 00:05:30.360
<v Speaker 5>at the home runs and the doubles and the RBIs

111
00:05:31.000 --> 00:05:33.680
<v Speaker 5>is truly as amazing. And for Otani has set the

112
00:05:33.720 --> 00:05:36.319
<v Speaker 5>stage as the designated hitter and baton the leedo spot

113
00:05:36.360 --> 00:05:37.319
<v Speaker 5>is a big, big deal with.

114
00:05:37.360 --> 00:05:40.279
<v Speaker 7>His offense and the way the offense looks tonight pretty

115
00:05:40.319 --> 00:05:42.279
<v Speaker 7>similar to last night in the top part of the order,

116
00:05:42.319 --> 00:05:44.000
<v Speaker 7>the middle part of the order, but the bottom part

117
00:05:44.040 --> 00:05:47.040
<v Speaker 7>of the order is completely different. Austin Barnes hitting seventh,

118
00:05:47.120 --> 00:05:49.959
<v Speaker 7>Kevin kier Myers in center field batting eight, and Nick

119
00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:51.600
<v Speaker 7>Ahmed at shortstop hitting ninth.

120
00:05:51.639 --> 00:05:54.240
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, and for Dave Roberts are kind of changing things

121
00:05:54.279 --> 00:05:56.759
<v Speaker 5>around a little bit more. And the Dodgers have seen

122
00:05:56.800 --> 00:05:59.319
<v Speaker 5>Paul Skens. We'll talk about him a little bit later on,

123
00:05:59.399 --> 00:06:01.480
<v Speaker 5>but this Dodge ball club needs to figure out how

124
00:06:01.480 --> 00:06:04.759
<v Speaker 5>to hit the heat because the Skens can rush it

125
00:06:04.839 --> 00:06:06.839
<v Speaker 5>up there. He'll light up the radar guns. But the

126
00:06:06.839 --> 00:06:09.639
<v Speaker 5>Dodgers need to light up the win column because we

127
00:06:09.720 --> 00:06:12.120
<v Speaker 5>start to look at the last fifty games the Dodgers

128
00:06:12.160 --> 00:06:14.920
<v Speaker 5>have played. There are just two games over the five

129
00:06:15.040 --> 00:06:17.399
<v Speaker 5>hundred mark. And this is a better ball club. Yes,

130
00:06:17.439 --> 00:06:19.839
<v Speaker 5>they've been beat up. Yes they have people on the

131
00:06:19.839 --> 00:06:21.800
<v Speaker 5>injury list, some of them are going to be coming back.

132
00:06:21.879 --> 00:06:24.279
<v Speaker 5>Mookie Bens will be back on Monday with the Dodgers

133
00:06:24.279 --> 00:06:26.959
<v Speaker 5>go to Milwaukee. In the meantime, the Dodgers need to

134
00:06:26.959 --> 00:06:30.360
<v Speaker 5>string some more victories because both San Diego and Arizona,

135
00:06:30.759 --> 00:06:34.199
<v Speaker 5>those two teams are knocking on the door, and the door, well,

136
00:06:34.360 --> 00:06:35.879
<v Speaker 5>that knock gets louder and louder.

137
00:06:36.240 --> 00:06:39.600
<v Speaker 7>Update on Mookie Betsy took live BP again today. They

138
00:06:39.639 --> 00:06:42.000
<v Speaker 7>had a SIM game for him today, played in right

139
00:06:42.040 --> 00:06:45.560
<v Speaker 7>field as well, and where it is Tomorrow. He'll take

140
00:06:45.600 --> 00:06:49.560
<v Speaker 7>batting practice on the field in the regular slot the

141
00:06:49.560 --> 00:06:52.480
<v Speaker 7>Dodgers normally would, and then he'll get on the plane

142
00:06:52.519 --> 00:06:55.079
<v Speaker 7>with the Dodgers after the game and head to Milwaukee

143
00:06:55.160 --> 00:06:58.519
<v Speaker 7>and start in right field on Monday and bat's second.

144
00:06:58.639 --> 00:07:00.519
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, that's going to be a big, big deal because

145
00:07:00.560 --> 00:07:03.120
<v Speaker 5>since Mookie Bets has been out, Taskar Hernanez has played

146
00:07:03.160 --> 00:07:05.839
<v Speaker 5>right field. He's done a very good job, hit close

147
00:07:05.879 --> 00:07:07.759
<v Speaker 5>to three hundred in when he has been in the

148
00:07:07.839 --> 00:07:11.759
<v Speaker 5>right field position. But everyone else is hitting collectively just

149
00:07:11.800 --> 00:07:13.959
<v Speaker 5>twoh eight and that's not going to get it done.

150
00:07:14.000 --> 00:07:17.120
<v Speaker 5>So yes, welcome back soon, Mookie Betts.

151
00:07:17.279 --> 00:07:21.160
<v Speaker 7>And a note on Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Dodger pitcher has been

152
00:07:21.199 --> 00:07:22.079
<v Speaker 7>out for quite a while.

153
00:07:22.160 --> 00:07:24.560
<v Speaker 4>He seems to be doing very very well at this point.

154
00:07:25.160 --> 00:07:28.199
<v Speaker 7>He'll have a bullpen session on Tuesday here and then

155
00:07:28.240 --> 00:07:31.879
<v Speaker 7>we'll join the team in Saint Louis on Friday and

156
00:07:31.959 --> 00:07:35.079
<v Speaker 7>we'll pitch against hitters. He'll have live VP in Saint

157
00:07:35.160 --> 00:07:38.480
<v Speaker 7>Louis on Friday. So Yamamoto getting a little closer to

158
00:07:38.519 --> 00:07:41.319
<v Speaker 7>coming back. Certainly the Dodgers could use his talented right

159
00:07:41.439 --> 00:07:45.040
<v Speaker 7>arm and Ryan Brazier, who is in Oklahoma City getting

160
00:07:45.240 --> 00:07:48.199
<v Speaker 7>a little closer to coming back. Max Monthly and Tommy

161
00:07:48.360 --> 00:07:51.279
<v Speaker 7>Edmund in the lineup for Oklahoma City tonight as they

162

204
00:10:06.399 --> 00:10:10.039
<v Speaker 2>Of course, Walter O'Malley being honored on Dodger Stadium tonight.

205
00:10:10.039 --> 00:10:12.919
<v Speaker 2>It's a great ceremony. Taking place. Here's been a great

206
00:10:12.960 --> 00:10:16.120
<v Speaker 2>pitching matchup on the mound tonight. Paul Skeene's a talk

207
00:10:16.159 --> 00:10:17.960
<v Speaker 2>of baseball at Dodger Stadium.

208
00:10:18.639 --> 00:10:20.879
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, it's almost like you have this really cool dynamic

209
00:10:20.919 --> 00:10:23.559
<v Speaker 8>because we're seeing some of the best of the younger

210
00:10:23.600 --> 00:10:25.960
<v Speaker 8>players and we're getting to see some of the greatest

211
00:10:26.200 --> 00:10:28.879
<v Speaker 8>of just the older generation of the veterans who are

212
00:10:28.919 --> 00:10:31.559
<v Speaker 8>now in the legends of Dodger Baseball. So tonight's going

213
00:10:31.600 --> 00:10:33.799
<v Speaker 8>to be a special one. You mentioned Walter O'Malley just

214
00:10:33.840 --> 00:10:35.919
<v Speaker 8>being inducted to the Ring of Honor, so his family

215
00:10:35.919 --> 00:10:38.440
<v Speaker 8>will be here represent him tonight. That'll be really nice

216
00:10:38.480 --> 00:10:41.799
<v Speaker 8>and seeing just what they're gonna do to unveil him

217
00:10:42.360 --> 00:10:44.480
<v Speaker 8>in the Ring of Honor here inside Dodger Stadium. And

218
00:10:44.519 --> 00:10:47.279
<v Speaker 8>then there are just players from so many different decades.

219
00:10:47.320 --> 00:10:51.279
<v Speaker 8>There's gonna be about forty legends who informer Dodger players

220
00:10:51.279 --> 00:10:53.399
<v Speaker 8>who are going to be here. So that'll be a

221
00:10:53.440 --> 00:10:55.559
<v Speaker 8>really fun one. And they guess, as you mentioned, they're

222
00:10:55.559 --> 00:10:59.720
<v Speaker 8>gonna watch this incredible matchup River Ryan, who's just proven

223
00:10:59.759 --> 00:11:02.039
<v Speaker 8>that he was someone who's called up a bit a

224
00:11:02.080 --> 00:11:04.799
<v Speaker 8>go and he is shown definitely does play at the

225
00:11:04.840 --> 00:11:06.879
<v Speaker 8>Big League level, and he belongs to this level, and

226
00:11:06.879 --> 00:11:09.480
<v Speaker 8>he's been a really just kind of fun I guess

227
00:11:09.559 --> 00:11:12.840
<v Speaker 8>rookie moment we've been having. And then you've got Paul Skans,

228
00:11:12.919 --> 00:11:15.440
<v Speaker 8>who's got the best era in Major League Baseball, and

229
00:11:15.519 --> 00:11:18.799
<v Speaker 8>so we've seen him once before this year and you

230
00:11:18.919 --> 00:11:20.440
<v Speaker 8>get to see him again, I think will be a

231
00:11:20.480 --> 00:11:21.080
<v Speaker 8>fun one.

232
00:11:21.600 --> 00:11:24.399
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, no doubt seeing Paul Skeans. The Dodgers have seen

233
00:11:24.440 --> 00:11:27.399
<v Speaker 2>him once at PNC Park and he struck out Showy

234
00:11:27.399 --> 00:11:29.559
<v Speaker 2>Otani to start off the game with three pitches over

235
00:11:29.600 --> 00:11:31.720
<v Speaker 2>all hundred miles an hour. I know the Dodgers want

236
00:11:31.759 --> 00:11:33.279
<v Speaker 2>to get this guy out of the game as quickly

237
00:11:33.279 --> 00:11:33.919
<v Speaker 2>as possible.

238
00:11:35.279 --> 00:11:37.960
<v Speaker 8>They do, especially because he's someone who not only has

239
00:11:38.000 --> 00:11:40.120
<v Speaker 8>the ability to be efficient go deep into the game,

240
00:11:40.480 --> 00:11:43.799
<v Speaker 8>but he is he's been lights out, and so they

241
00:11:43.840 --> 00:11:45.200
<v Speaker 8>have to find a way to kind of get the

242
00:11:45.200 --> 00:11:47.840
<v Speaker 8>pitch coron up, you know. The we hopefully we can

243
00:11:47.879 --> 00:11:49.639
<v Speaker 8>see the home runs that we saw last night, But

244
00:11:49.679 --> 00:11:52.240
<v Speaker 8>more importantly, it's just about what can you do to

245
00:11:52.320 --> 00:11:54.720
<v Speaker 8>get to the bullpen because the bullpen has been there

246
00:11:54.759 --> 00:11:57.480
<v Speaker 8>a weaker just kind of peete as of late. As

247
00:11:57.559 --> 00:12:00.360
<v Speaker 8>much as last night, her mom did a great jobs

248
00:12:00.440 --> 00:12:03.440
<v Speaker 8>kind of maintaining things for them as of late. That's

249
00:12:03.440 --> 00:12:06.240
<v Speaker 8>been the part that it may not be getting to

250
00:12:06.279 --> 00:12:08.679
<v Speaker 8>Paul schemes, but maybe just having come along at bats,

251
00:12:08.679 --> 00:12:10.960
<v Speaker 8>I like the pitches off things like that to then

252
00:12:11.559 --> 00:12:13.879
<v Speaker 8>just increase his pitch counts, but that you have a

253
00:12:14.000 --> 00:12:16.080
<v Speaker 8>quicker chance of getting to the bullpen. That might be

254
00:12:16.120 --> 00:12:18.159
<v Speaker 8>what the key is got to be aggressive against him.

255
00:12:18.399 --> 00:12:20.759
<v Speaker 2>After this homestand the Dodgers will hit the road, starting

256
00:12:20.799 --> 00:12:23.559
<v Speaker 2>off in Milwaukee, and we could have a Walker Bueler.

257
00:12:23.399 --> 00:12:28.200
<v Speaker 8>Signing Yeah, I mean Curson Lukey Pet's viewing once he

258
00:12:28.240 --> 00:12:30.000
<v Speaker 8>gets in on Monday, and then the plan is that

259
00:12:30.159 --> 00:12:33.440
<v Speaker 8>on on Wednesday. As of right now, we can see

260
00:12:33.559 --> 00:12:36.039
<v Speaker 8>Walker Bueler taking the mound And what does that mean

261
00:12:36.080 --> 00:12:38.679
<v Speaker 8>for the rotation. It does sound like just what they

262
00:12:38.679 --> 00:12:41.720
<v Speaker 8>haven't made any decisions just yet, but just considering that

263
00:12:41.840 --> 00:12:44.799
<v Speaker 8>the four game series in Milwaukee then a three game

264
00:12:44.840 --> 00:12:47.639
<v Speaker 8>series to follow that in Saint Louis, it does seem like,

265
00:12:47.799 --> 00:12:50.120
<v Speaker 8>just kind of looking at what the schedule looks like,

266
00:12:50.480 --> 00:12:52.039
<v Speaker 8>it might make sense to kind of have a six

267
00:12:52.080 --> 00:12:55.240
<v Speaker 8>man rotation for now, so we'll kind of see what

268
00:12:55.320 --> 00:12:59.120
<v Speaker 8>his return means to the rotation. What it means to

269
00:12:59.159 --> 00:13:02.559
<v Speaker 8>just the pitching plan and moving forward. But yeah, it's

270
00:13:02.600 --> 00:13:05.120
<v Speaker 8>crazy to think it's coming off of a really strong

271
00:13:05.159 --> 00:13:08.000
<v Speaker 8>outing in Triple A with OKC. So this is the

272
00:13:08.039 --> 00:13:10.080
<v Speaker 8>next step for him. What everyone is before you get

273
00:13:10.120 --> 00:13:11.279
<v Speaker 8>to see him back on the mountain.

274
00:13:11.440 --> 00:13:12.039
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, no doubt.

275
00:13:12.039 --> 00:13:13.840
<v Speaker 2>Hopefully it's the walker viewer of old that we can

276
00:13:13.879 --> 00:13:15.960
<v Speaker 2>get back out there on the mount Kirson, we appreciate it.

277
00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:17.879
<v Speaker 3>We'll check it back in with you after the game.

00:14:36.000 --> 00:14:37.639
<v Speaker 2>iel at the fraction of left hand, but set to

303
00:14:37.639 --> 00:14:40.000
<v Speaker 2>come off on this next upcoming road trip that starts

304
00:14:40.000 --> 00:14:43.600
<v Speaker 2>on Monday in Milwaukee. Yoshinobu Yamamoto is throwing bullpen sessions.

305
00:14:43.679 --> 00:14:47.159
<v Speaker 2>He is progressing. Walker Buehler hopefully will join this Dodgers

306
00:14:47.200 --> 00:14:49.039
<v Speaker 2>team on this next road trip as well. After a

307
00:14:49.240 --> 00:14:51.840
<v Speaker 2>final minor league rehabit start just a couple of days

308

309
00:14:54.840 --> 00:14:56.159

<v Speaker 3>All right, let's tep back out.

311
00:14:57.200 --> 00:14:59.759
<v Speaker 2>To Dodgers Stadium and check out the Dodgers skipper anything else?

312
00:15:00.320 --> 00:15:02.240
<v Speaker 5>Dave Questions for Dave.

313
00:15:02.320 --> 00:15:05.320
<v Speaker 4>Dave, can you just describe Dave? Can you talk about

314
00:15:05.360 --> 00:15:06.919
<v Speaker 4>the pressure in.

315
00:15:06.960 --> 00:15:09.759
<v Speaker 3>The dugouts with Dave Robberts.

316
00:15:10.879 --> 00:15:15.080
<v Speaker 6>Dave, Alumni weekend is continuing. You're in that category. How

317
00:15:15.120 --> 00:15:17.480
<v Speaker 6>special is it for you to see what you saw,

318
00:15:17.600 --> 00:15:20.279
<v Speaker 6>participate like you did last night and be part of

319
00:15:20.320 --> 00:15:21.759
<v Speaker 6>a special ceremony today.

320
00:15:22.320 --> 00:15:25.960
<v Speaker 9>It's great. It's a great weekend for the Dodgers, for

321
00:15:26.000 --> 00:15:29.759
<v Speaker 9>the alumni, certainly last night for Dusty Baker, getting him

322
00:15:29.759 --> 00:15:34.120
<v Speaker 9>back at Dodger Stadium, his family, some of his old teammates,

323
00:15:34.519 --> 00:15:37.759
<v Speaker 9>and you know, you've got everyone from Sandy Kofax to

324
00:15:39.080 --> 00:15:41.879
<v Speaker 9>Sean Green to everybody here. So it's going to be

325
00:15:41.919 --> 00:15:46.120
<v Speaker 9>a great day today, great weekend and exciting for Dodger fans.

326
00:15:46.240 --> 00:15:48.240
<v Speaker 6>Do you still feel the bond with some of those

327
00:15:48.279 --> 00:15:50.639
<v Speaker 6>teammates that come back for these type of weekends?

328
00:15:50.879 --> 00:15:53.000
<v Speaker 9>I do, you know, I think that life happens and

329
00:15:53.720 --> 00:15:56.879
<v Speaker 9>you just sort of lose touch with guys. Can kind

330
00:15:56.879 --> 00:15:59.039
<v Speaker 9>of keep in touch a little bit, but give somebody

331
00:15:59.080 --> 00:16:02.039
<v Speaker 9>a hug and share some stories, remin us a little bit.

332
00:16:02.120 --> 00:16:03.000
<v Speaker 4>That's always nice.

333
00:16:03.240 --> 00:16:06.879
<v Speaker 6>Not sure if you saw, but Team USA Basketball team

334
00:16:07.159 --> 00:16:09.879
<v Speaker 6>Men's won the gold medal today. There's a lot of

335
00:16:09.919 --> 00:16:13.360
<v Speaker 6>talk about Major League Baseball players being part of a

336
00:16:13.759 --> 00:16:16.679
<v Speaker 6>USA Baseball team when it comes to LA. What's your

337
00:16:16.679 --> 00:16:19.440
<v Speaker 6>thoughts on that? Do you feel like that's realistic, possible?

338
00:16:20.200 --> 00:16:23.879
<v Speaker 9>I think anything's possible. You know, I've got a chance

339
00:16:23.879 --> 00:16:25.919
<v Speaker 9>to see Steph Curry take the game over, which is

340
00:16:25.919 --> 00:16:29.799
<v Speaker 9>fun to watch. But obviously we've got the WBC, which

341
00:16:29.840 --> 00:16:32.440
<v Speaker 9>has gained a lot of traction, a lot of interest.

342
00:16:33.240 --> 00:16:36.919
<v Speaker 9>But you're looking at twenty twenty eight Los Angeles hosting

343
00:16:36.960 --> 00:16:41.840
<v Speaker 9>the Olympics, and I just think that there's.

344
00:16:40.919 --> 00:16:42.039
<v Speaker 3>A way, all right.

345
00:16:42.080 --> 00:16:44.759
<v Speaker 2>That's Dave Roberts down in the dugout getting his pregame thoughts.

346
00:16:44.759 --> 00:16:46.960
<v Speaker 2>Brought to you by Service Titan. Dave Roberts is a

364
00:17:45.119 --> 00:17:46.880
<v Speaker 6>I accept everybody for who they are.

365
00:17:46.960 --> 00:17:51.240
<v Speaker 3>This is Dodger inside there. David Basse, all.

366
00:17:51.200 --> 00:17:53.720
<v Speaker 2>Right, dv A lot's been talked about the last twenty

367
00:17:53.759 --> 00:17:56.680
<v Speaker 2>four hours. Mookie Betts. Now he's gonna go back to

368
00:17:56.799 --> 00:17:59.799
<v Speaker 2>right field. What's going on with this whole story?

369
00:18:00.359 --> 00:18:04.319
<v Speaker 6>Well, Dave Roberts, from my understanding, was one hundred percent candid.

370
00:18:04.480 --> 00:18:08.079
<v Speaker 6>My understanding was there was a simulated game here on Thursday,

371
00:18:08.240 --> 00:18:11.680
<v Speaker 6>Mooki gave it a tried shortstop and you felt, like

372
00:18:11.839 --> 00:18:15.759
<v Speaker 6>Dave described yesterday, he was most confident at right field.

373
00:18:15.920 --> 00:18:19.559
<v Speaker 6>And like we talked about yesterday, Tim, this is not

374
00:18:19.880 --> 00:18:23.799
<v Speaker 6>May or June. There is only forty five games to go,

375
00:18:23.920 --> 00:18:27.880
<v Speaker 6>forty six if you include tonight to go in the season.

376
00:18:28.039 --> 00:18:33.160
<v Speaker 6>The Dodgers' lead in the NLST has evaporated, So Mooki

377
00:18:33.359 --> 00:18:37.279
<v Speaker 6>understands there needs to be a sense of urgency. Tryout

378
00:18:37.359 --> 00:18:41.039
<v Speaker 6>time is over and he feels confident in right field.

379
00:18:41.200 --> 00:18:44.759
<v Speaker 6>So Dave Roberts was actually telling me earlier today. Look,

380
00:18:44.799 --> 00:18:47.119
<v Speaker 6>I give a lot of credit to Mooki because he

381
00:18:47.279 --> 00:18:50.920
<v Speaker 6>was the one that initiated this conversation and was very

382
00:18:50.960 --> 00:18:55.640
<v Speaker 6>honest a with himself and be honest with Dave Roberts.

383
00:18:55.680 --> 00:18:59.200
<v Speaker 6>So all this is on Mookie Betts and just being

384
00:19:00.400 --> 00:19:04.759
<v Speaker 6>with himself and understanding that the Dodgers have Nick Ahmed,

385
00:19:04.880 --> 00:19:08.559
<v Speaker 6>Miguel Rojas and if necessary, Kei k Hernandez who have

386
00:19:08.640 --> 00:19:11.920
<v Speaker 6>a lot more experience at shortstop, and the Dodgers need

387
00:19:11.960 --> 00:19:15.599
<v Speaker 6>Mooki in right field because Dodger right fielders outside of

388
00:19:15.599 --> 00:19:18.599
<v Speaker 6>ta Oscar Hernandez are hitting two toh eight this season.

389
00:19:18.799 --> 00:19:21.759
<v Speaker 6>They need some offense. And you know, Jason Hayward has

390
00:19:21.759 --> 00:19:24.359
<v Speaker 6>done a great job defensively, tim as you've seen, But

391
00:19:25.079 --> 00:19:28.119
<v Speaker 6>Mooki's a six time Goal Globe Award winner. Some that

392
00:19:28.279 --> 00:19:31.319
<v Speaker 6>have seen Willie Mays play the outfield tell me that

393
00:19:31.759 --> 00:19:34.920
<v Speaker 6>Mookie Betts is right on par with the greatness of

394
00:19:34.960 --> 00:19:36.359
<v Speaker 6>Willie Mays in the outfield.

395
00:19:36.599 --> 00:19:38.759
<v Speaker 2>Wow, David is driven by Ford. If there's one thing

396
00:19:38.799 --> 00:19:41.279
<v Speaker 2>we like, it's choices. Find yours with the four f

397
00:19:41.319 --> 00:19:44.279
<v Speaker 2>one to fifty gas hybrid all electric tough. This mark

398
00:19:44.359 --> 00:19:47.119
<v Speaker 2>can be only called the f one fifty all right,

399
00:19:47.160 --> 00:19:47.759
<v Speaker 2>he alluded to.

400
00:19:47.799 --> 00:19:48.240
<v Speaker 5>It, David.

401
00:19:48.599 --> 00:19:51.720
<v Speaker 2>There's gonna be some roster crunching here. Who are some

402
00:19:51.759 --> 00:19:53.960
<v Speaker 2>of the guys maybe on the bubble once the regular

403
00:19:53.960 --> 00:19:54.680
<v Speaker 2>guys come back.

404
00:19:54.880 --> 00:19:57.720
<v Speaker 6>Look, the Dodgers have made no secret about it. They

405
00:19:57.759 --> 00:20:02.079
<v Speaker 6>have some tough decisions to make because after the game tomorrow,

406
00:20:02.440 --> 00:20:05.039
<v Speaker 6>the Dodgers leave for a seven game road trip, and

407
00:20:05.160 --> 00:20:09.000
<v Speaker 6>Mookie Betts is going to be activated on Monday in Milwaukee.

408
00:20:09.359 --> 00:20:11.640
<v Speaker 6>They need to make not only a twenty six man

409
00:20:11.759 --> 00:20:15.720
<v Speaker 6>roster move, but also a six forty man roster move

410
00:20:15.759 --> 00:20:19.319
<v Speaker 6>with Mooki coming off the sixty day IL, and you

411
00:20:19.359 --> 00:20:23.079
<v Speaker 6>look at Ahmed Rosario, you look at Nick Ahmed. Those

412
00:20:23.119 --> 00:20:26.480
<v Speaker 6>would be probably two of the bubble players that the

413
00:20:26.559 --> 00:20:30.799
<v Speaker 6>Dodgers are considering. And once Tommy Edmund and Max Munsey

414
00:20:30.920 --> 00:20:33.680
<v Speaker 6>come back in a week or so, the Dodgers have

415
00:20:33.799 --> 00:20:37.279
<v Speaker 6>even more tough decisions to make. So Tomorrow's the first

416
00:20:37.319 --> 00:20:40.079
<v Speaker 6>start because they don't want that player to get on

417
00:20:40.160 --> 00:20:43.000
<v Speaker 6>the plane after the game if they're not going to

418
00:20:43.039 --> 00:20:46.279
<v Speaker 6>be part of the Dodger roster. Monday and Milwaukee.

419
00:20:45.920 --> 00:20:49.759
<v Speaker 2>Alumni Weekend David forty Dodger alumni in town for the

420
00:20:49.799 --> 00:20:53.359
<v Speaker 2>celebration last night. Of course for Dusty Baker. Matt Cam's

421
00:20:53.359 --> 00:20:57.559
<v Speaker 2>going to be honored tomorrow tonight. Walter O'Malley fifteenth person

422
00:20:57.599 --> 00:20:59.160
<v Speaker 2>inducted to the Dodgers' Ring of Honor.

423
00:20:59.240 --> 00:21:01.160
<v Speaker 3>It's kind of a cool we the Dodgers to put together.

424
00:21:01.480 --> 00:21:05.559
<v Speaker 6>It really is tim And what makes franchises like the

425
00:21:05.640 --> 00:21:09.400
<v Speaker 6>Dodgers special is not just because the name on the front.

426
00:21:09.680 --> 00:21:13.599
<v Speaker 6>It's because of the history and successful history of the

427
00:21:13.720 --> 00:21:17.440
<v Speaker 6>organization that goes back to Brooklyn with the nineteen fifty

428
00:21:17.519 --> 00:21:22.079
<v Speaker 6>five and early fifties boys. This summer it obviously continued

429
00:21:22.119 --> 00:21:26.079
<v Speaker 6>here in Los Angeles, and Walter O'Malley is a villain

430
00:21:26.160 --> 00:21:29.279
<v Speaker 6>back in Brooklyn, but he's a hero here in Los Angeles.

431
00:21:29.359 --> 00:21:32.200
<v Speaker 6>And without him, the Dodgers would not be here, and

432
00:21:32.319 --> 00:21:35.480
<v Speaker 6>Dodgers Stadium certainly would not be where it is. So

433
00:21:36.240 --> 00:21:38.680
<v Speaker 6>Peter O'Malley is here to honor his late father. And

434
00:21:38.720 --> 00:21:41.319
<v Speaker 6>how about this, tim just to put it into context

435
00:21:41.319 --> 00:21:44.880
<v Speaker 6>on how much Walter O'Malley meant to so many. When

436
00:21:44.920 --> 00:21:48.279
<v Speaker 6>I interviewed Vince Gully for the first time in twenty twelve,

437
00:21:48.680 --> 00:21:52.119
<v Speaker 6>he told me in these words, I have two dying

438
00:21:52.200 --> 00:21:56.680
<v Speaker 6>wishes before I leave this mortal coil. One was to

439
00:21:56.720 --> 00:21:59.319
<v Speaker 6>have Gil Hodges go into the Hall of Fame. The

440
00:21:59.359 --> 00:22:02.680
<v Speaker 6>other was Walter O'Malley to be in the Hall of Fame.

441
00:22:02.799 --> 00:22:05.079
<v Speaker 6>So you know, Vin Scully is smiling down with the

442
00:22:05.200 --> 00:22:09.240
<v Speaker 6>rainbow from heaven today because Walter O'Malley now will be

443
00:22:09.319 --> 00:22:13.000
<v Speaker 6>honored at the place that he built, Dodgers Stadium.

444
00:22:12.720 --> 00:22:14.839
<v Speaker 3>No doubt about that. Well, put David, we'll check back

445
00:22:14.839 --> 00:22:15.839
<v Speaker 3>in with you in just a little bit.

446
00:22:15.880 --> 00:22:18.559
<v Speaker 2>Coming up here on Marongo Casino Dodgers on Deck, we'll

447
00:22:18.559 --> 00:22:22.319
<v Speaker 2>hear from Miguel Rojas will dive deeper into this pitching matchup.

448
00:22:22.319 --> 00:22:25.200
<v Speaker 2>But up next you Dodgers Magical Moment. Don't go anywhere.

449
00:22:25.279 --> 00:22:27.400
<v Speaker 2>We're leading you up to Dodgers and Pirates on this

450
00:22:27.440 --> 00:22:30.279

498
00:25:10.839 --> 00:25:14.319
<v Speaker 6>on the pregame show with Oral Hersheiser in the balcony.

499
00:25:14.559 --> 00:25:17.960
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, there's there's a backstory to this. As ORL is

500
00:25:18.000 --> 00:25:20.359
<v Speaker 5>looking on and he's smiling because as I walked into

501
00:25:20.400 --> 00:25:22.920
<v Speaker 5>the booth and we're on the we're in the in

502
00:25:23.000 --> 00:25:26.440
<v Speaker 5>the broadcast booth right now, ORL was here and you

503
00:25:26.519 --> 00:25:29.079
<v Speaker 5>made a comment that we had to get this done

504
00:25:29.079 --> 00:25:31.359
<v Speaker 5>on the pregame show. So yeah, ORL says, Oh, you're

505
00:25:31.440 --> 00:25:33.559
<v Speaker 5>number one guy, you don't have time for me. So

506
00:25:33.680 --> 00:25:36.680
<v Speaker 5>that's the reason for the lead in, folks, for David

507
00:25:36.759 --> 00:25:40.640
<v Speaker 5>Vasse at the pleasure of the consternation of Oral Herscheizer,

508
00:25:40.680 --> 00:25:43.480
<v Speaker 5>who's still yeah, he's waving from the back row.

509
00:25:43.680 --> 00:25:46.359
<v Speaker 6>Hey, I don't play favorites. You guys are both my

510
00:25:46.440 --> 00:25:47.240
<v Speaker 6>number one guys.

511
00:25:47.319 --> 00:25:50.680
<v Speaker 5>No, you do play favorites. Is whoever's closest and the

512
00:25:50.720 --> 00:25:53.599
<v Speaker 5>most convenient. That's your number one guy. Let's let's come

513
00:25:53.599 --> 00:25:54.400
<v Speaker 5>down to brass tax.

514
00:25:55.200 --> 00:25:57.519
<v Speaker 6>Well number one guy, Rick Monday is closest to me

515
00:25:57.640 --> 00:25:59.920
<v Speaker 6>right now. So Rick, I'm all yours.

516
00:26:00.160 --> 00:26:02.799
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, yeah, it works out well. You know, the Dodgers,

517
00:26:02.960 --> 00:26:06.160
<v Speaker 5>here's a number that I that I ran across in

518
00:26:06.240 --> 00:26:07.839
<v Speaker 5>for the Dodgers. They've got to take care of some

519
00:26:07.920 --> 00:26:11.960
<v Speaker 5>business because you begin to look at the last you know,

520
00:26:12.160 --> 00:26:14.960
<v Speaker 5>fifty some games, the Dodgers are just what is it,

521
00:26:15.039 --> 00:26:17.119
<v Speaker 5>two games over the five hundred park in that period

522
00:26:17.160 --> 00:26:20.519
<v Speaker 5>of time, better ball game last night, and I think

523
00:26:20.559 --> 00:26:22.839
<v Speaker 5>they get it the work cutout for them tonight with

524
00:26:23.160 --> 00:26:25.839
<v Speaker 5>you know, with Skemes on the mound for the Pittsburgh Pirates.

525
00:26:26.119 --> 00:26:27.880
<v Speaker 5>And I think if you're looking at the Dodgers, I mean,

526
00:26:27.920 --> 00:26:30.640
<v Speaker 5>this is the time that I think you can kind

527
00:26:30.640 --> 00:26:32.920
<v Speaker 5>of look forward and say, hey, look things are trending.

528
00:26:33.200 --> 00:26:36.319
<v Speaker 5>That's the words of David. David Roberts. I should say, also,

529
00:26:36.400 --> 00:26:39.240
<v Speaker 5>David say uses it. But trending in the right direction

530
00:26:39.359 --> 00:26:42.319
<v Speaker 5>because some guys are getting healthy. That being also, Mookie

531
00:26:42.359 --> 00:26:45.599
<v Speaker 5>Betts will rejoin the club as we understand Monday when

532
00:26:45.599 --> 00:26:47.920
<v Speaker 5>they go to Milwaukee and start the seven game road

533
00:26:47.960 --> 00:26:50.880
<v Speaker 5>trip in Milwaukee and then on to Saint Louis. So

534
00:26:50.920 --> 00:26:54.559
<v Speaker 5>some guys are getting healthy. You have Bueller and with Miller,

535
00:26:54.599 --> 00:26:58.359
<v Speaker 5>they had good outings in their rehabs. They're getting closer

536
00:26:58.400 --> 00:26:59.880
<v Speaker 5>to come back. When that's going to be, we don't

537
00:27:00.880 --> 00:27:03.119
<v Speaker 5>but the Dodgers A have to get healthy and b

538
00:27:03.279 --> 00:27:06.119
<v Speaker 5>they have to play better baseball on a consistent basis.

539
00:27:06.240 --> 00:27:06.640
<v Speaker 4>No doubt.

540
00:27:06.680 --> 00:27:09.720
<v Speaker 6>It's a division race, three team race between the Dodgers,

541
00:27:09.759 --> 00:27:13.880
<v Speaker 6>Diamondbacks and Padres. How envious do you believe Freddie Freeman's

542
00:27:13.920 --> 00:27:17.400
<v Speaker 6>teammates are of him? After missing nine games, he just

543
00:27:17.480 --> 00:27:18.839
<v Speaker 6>picks up where he left off.

544
00:27:19.319 --> 00:27:21.519
<v Speaker 5>It's like he turned the page. You know, you read

545
00:27:21.559 --> 00:27:23.880
<v Speaker 5>a book and to put a bookmarker in the page,

546
00:27:23.920 --> 00:27:25.440
<v Speaker 5>it might be a week before you come back and

547
00:27:25.480 --> 00:27:29.880
<v Speaker 5>finish that chapter you're reading. That's what Freddy Freeman is

548
00:27:29.920 --> 00:27:31.920
<v Speaker 5>able to do. And he's done it from both ends,

549
00:27:31.960 --> 00:27:35.000
<v Speaker 5>from getting jammed and getting a base hit, knocking in

550
00:27:35.119 --> 00:27:38.000
<v Speaker 5>runs to hitting a home run. On top of it,

551
00:27:38.359 --> 00:27:42.039
<v Speaker 5>I think the guys are remarkable too. From a standpoint

552
00:27:42.079 --> 00:27:43.960
<v Speaker 5>is that even when Freddy was out for a while,

553
00:27:43.960 --> 00:27:46.319
<v Speaker 5>he was able to swing the bat a little bit.

554
00:27:47.160 --> 00:27:50.519
<v Speaker 5>He worked with his dad a couple of different days.

555
00:27:50.559 --> 00:27:53.920
<v Speaker 5>On top of that as well, the biggest thing is, yes,

556
00:27:53.960 --> 00:27:55.839
<v Speaker 5>he's getting some bass hits. That's the nice thing. The

557
00:27:55.839 --> 00:27:59.799
<v Speaker 5>greatest thing is Max's son is doing better and better,

558
00:28:00.279 --> 00:28:03.200
<v Speaker 5>and a lot of prayers are going in the direction

559
00:28:03.240 --> 00:28:04.160
<v Speaker 5>of the Freeman family.

560
00:28:04.440 --> 00:28:08.599
<v Speaker 6>Rick Alumni Weekend continues, You're a big part of Dodger history.

561
00:28:08.839 --> 00:28:11.440
<v Speaker 6>How great is it for you to see former teammates

562
00:28:11.480 --> 00:28:14.200
<v Speaker 6>and also the young kids that you helped groom like

563
00:28:14.359 --> 00:28:15.359
<v Speaker 6>Oral Herscheys.

564
00:28:15.119 --> 00:28:17.960
<v Speaker 5>We again, since since Orl is here, let's go back

565
00:28:18.000 --> 00:28:20.400
<v Speaker 5>to his rookie rookie year when he came back up.

566
00:28:21.680 --> 00:28:23.519
<v Speaker 5>The only reason he's still in the booth is we're

567
00:28:23.519 --> 00:28:25.599
<v Speaker 5>doing this. We're going to head down to the luncheon,

568
00:28:25.640 --> 00:28:27.519
<v Speaker 5>and he didn't know where it was going to be located,

569
00:28:27.559 --> 00:28:29.759
<v Speaker 5>so he's going to go with us. That's the only

570
00:28:29.799 --> 00:28:31.920
<v Speaker 5>reason he's hanging out with us right now. David, I

571
00:28:31.920 --> 00:28:33.839
<v Speaker 5>don't want you to think this because he believes that

572
00:28:33.880 --> 00:28:36.480
<v Speaker 5>we're important or that he believes he wants to hang

573
00:28:36.519 --> 00:28:38.799
<v Speaker 5>out with us. He doesn't know the directions on how

574
00:28:38.799 --> 00:28:40.160
<v Speaker 5>to get to where we're headed.

575
00:28:40.400 --> 00:28:41.599
<v Speaker 11>ORL do you need directions?

576
00:28:41.839 --> 00:28:43.960
<v Speaker 6>You need veteran leadership from Rick Monday.

577
00:28:44.000 --> 00:28:44.240
<v Speaker 4>Again.

578
00:28:44.400 --> 00:28:47.200
<v Speaker 12>I've been texting Carrie Osborne, head of the alumni relations,

579
00:28:47.200 --> 00:28:51.720
<v Speaker 12>and it's out at the Gold Bar. Yes, yes, bring

580
00:28:51.720 --> 00:28:55.759

00:31:00.440 --> 00:31:02.279
<v Speaker 6>delivering on the field and for us.

<v Speaker 13>Yeah, of course, anytime that you guys need me. It's

629
00:31:05.400 --> 00:31:06.279
<v Speaker 13>a pleasure talking to you.

630
00:31:06.319 --> 00:31:06.640
<v Speaker 11>Guys.

631
00:31:06.720 --> 00:31:09.000
<v Speaker 6>It's great to see the smile back on your face.

632
00:31:09.079 --> 00:31:12.720
<v Speaker 6>How tough was it to watch and just be patient

633
00:31:12.759 --> 00:31:13.920
<v Speaker 6>with the healing process?

634
00:31:14.240 --> 00:31:16.279
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, I guess that's that's all I can do.

635
00:31:16.920 --> 00:31:20.400
<v Speaker 13>When you feeling something throughout the year that you can

636
00:31:20.480 --> 00:31:23.240
<v Speaker 13>really like play through, it's really hard and it's a

637
00:31:23.319 --> 00:31:25.599
<v Speaker 13>challenge for you to stay focused on what you need

638
00:31:25.640 --> 00:31:27.240
<v Speaker 13>to do to get back on the field as soon

639
00:31:27.279 --> 00:31:27.920
<v Speaker 13>as possible.

640
00:31:27.920 --> 00:31:30.039
<v Speaker 11>And that's exactly what I tried to do.

641
00:31:30.079 --> 00:31:34.119
<v Speaker 13>I try to work myself as hard as I can

642
00:31:34.200 --> 00:31:36.880
<v Speaker 13>every single day to come back in the minimum time,

643
00:31:36.920 --> 00:31:39.119
<v Speaker 13>and I'm happy that I'm back with the guys. And

644
00:31:39.599 --> 00:31:41.400
<v Speaker 13>I mean it was really tough to watch on TV

645
00:31:41.440 --> 00:31:43.359
<v Speaker 13>for sure, but at the end of the day, we

646
00:31:43.440 --> 00:31:46.039
<v Speaker 13>got a lot of time left and were ready.

647
00:31:46.440 --> 00:31:48.759
<v Speaker 6>You were one of the first key players to come

648
00:31:48.799 --> 00:31:51.920
<v Speaker 6>back from the injured list, Mookie coming back Monday. Do

649
00:31:51.960 --> 00:31:55.319
<v Speaker 6>you feel like with yourself, Mookie and the rest coming

650
00:31:55.400 --> 00:31:58.000
<v Speaker 6>back that can restore order to the season.

651
00:31:58.839 --> 00:32:01.240
<v Speaker 13>Yeah, I mean, I feel like we've been opened down

652
00:32:01.279 --> 00:32:04.480
<v Speaker 13>this year, and part of that is injuries on the

653
00:32:04.480 --> 00:32:07.119
<v Speaker 13>pitching side and the offensive side. But at the end

654
00:32:07.160 --> 00:32:09.039
<v Speaker 13>of the day, we got a pretty good team that

655
00:32:09.119 --> 00:32:10.279
<v Speaker 13>can actually fill in.

656
00:32:10.240 --> 00:32:12.920
<v Speaker 11>For the players who went down.

657
00:32:13.319 --> 00:32:16.119
<v Speaker 13>Unfortunately, a bunch of us went down at the same time,

658
00:32:16.359 --> 00:32:19.960
<v Speaker 13>especially with the Freddie situation and his family situation that

659
00:32:20.000 --> 00:32:22.759
<v Speaker 13>he have to stay away from the team for so long.

660
00:32:23.039 --> 00:32:26.039
<v Speaker 11>And a guy I know Freddy.

661
00:32:26.079 --> 00:32:28.400
<v Speaker 13>Take care of his family, and uh, he cares about

662
00:32:28.440 --> 00:32:31.000
<v Speaker 13>his family a lot, but he's pretty hard on himself

663
00:32:31.039 --> 00:32:33.640
<v Speaker 13>when he comes to like not playing every single day.

664
00:32:33.839 --> 00:32:36.079
<v Speaker 13>So the same way I feel, and the same way

665
00:32:36.160 --> 00:32:39.279
<v Speaker 13>Mookie feels, the same way Max Montsterfield, and I feel

666
00:32:39.319 --> 00:32:43.680
<v Speaker 13>like everybody creating momentum coming back, I think inspire others

667
00:32:43.720 --> 00:32:45.519
<v Speaker 13>to trying to come back as soon as possible.

668
00:32:45.519 --> 00:32:48.519
<v Speaker 6>To Miguel, You've been around a lot of great players

669
00:32:48.559 --> 00:32:51.440
<v Speaker 6>in your career. Have you ever seen a player of

670
00:32:51.559 --> 00:32:56.519
<v Speaker 6>Mookie's caliber be so flexible to move positions and do

671
00:32:56.640 --> 00:32:57.640
<v Speaker 6>what's best for the team.

672
00:32:57.880 --> 00:33:01.519
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, I feel like that's what a superstars is like.

673
00:33:01.640 --> 00:33:03.960
<v Speaker 13>You know, it doesn't matter what happened on the field,

674
00:33:03.960 --> 00:33:06.480
<v Speaker 13>but he's always willing to do whatever is best for

675
00:33:06.519 --> 00:33:08.440
<v Speaker 13>the team at the moment, you know. Uh, And that

676
00:33:08.519 --> 00:33:11.400
<v Speaker 13>kind of flexibility you don't find any anybody else. I

677
00:33:11.400 --> 00:33:13.480
<v Speaker 13>feel like this is the first time that I play

678
00:33:13.559 --> 00:33:18.119
<v Speaker 13>with a guy who won multiple silverl Slogers Gold Gloves

679
00:33:18.160 --> 00:33:20.839
<v Speaker 13>in right field and he's willing to move to the infielder.

680
00:33:21.039 --> 00:33:23.319
<v Speaker 13>And it's not just to to the to the dirt,

681
00:33:23.359 --> 00:33:25.599
<v Speaker 13>but to short stop, which is one of the hardest

682
00:33:25.640 --> 00:33:28.599
<v Speaker 13>positions to play in the sport. And I mean all

683
00:33:28.599 --> 00:33:31.880
<v Speaker 13>the all the credits to him for for being what

684
00:33:31.920 --> 00:33:33.839
<v Speaker 13>the what is the best for the team, And that's

685
00:33:33.880 --> 00:33:35.119
<v Speaker 13>what a superstart and a.

686
00:33:35.200 --> 00:33:38.599
<v Speaker 6>Leader should be looking like, looking like Hey, speaking of shortstop,

687
00:33:38.720 --> 00:33:41.640
<v Speaker 6>it is the most amending position on the field outside

688
00:33:41.680 --> 00:33:44.200
<v Speaker 6>of catcher. How do you make it look so easy?

689
00:33:44.240 --> 00:33:47.000
<v Speaker 6>How do you have those instincts? Is it just something

690
00:33:47.079 --> 00:33:48.839
<v Speaker 6>that you had at a young age or is it

691
00:33:48.960 --> 00:33:50.359
<v Speaker 6>something you learned over time.

692
00:33:50.480 --> 00:33:53.079
<v Speaker 13>I feel like I've been playing the position for like

693
00:33:53.119 --> 00:33:57.240
<v Speaker 13>for a long time, almost my whole life, ever since

694
00:33:57.359 --> 00:33:58.400
<v Speaker 13>I remember going.

695
00:33:58.200 --> 00:34:00.000
<v Speaker 11>To a field. I wanted to be a short stop.

696
00:34:00.839 --> 00:34:03.440
<v Speaker 13>That comes from like watching really good short stop early

697
00:34:03.480 --> 00:34:06.200
<v Speaker 13>in my age, like Marvi Scale, the Big Consection on

698
00:34:06.920 --> 00:34:10.760
<v Speaker 13>Louis Aparisio and all those guys coming from Venezuela. We

699
00:34:10.760 --> 00:34:13.679
<v Speaker 13>we uh produce a lot of good short stops in

700
00:34:13.719 --> 00:34:16.119
<v Speaker 13>my in my jown age. So I was watching them

701
00:34:16.360 --> 00:34:18.920
<v Speaker 13>and I was trying to emulate the way that they

702
00:34:18.920 --> 00:34:21.679
<v Speaker 13>play short and I meant, at this point it takes

703
00:34:21.719 --> 00:34:23.639
<v Speaker 13>a little bit more of preparation for me because I'm

704
00:34:23.679 --> 00:34:25.920
<v Speaker 13>thirty five years old and I'm trying to like stay

705
00:34:25.960 --> 00:34:28.360
<v Speaker 13>on the on the top of the game defensively, and

706
00:34:29.079 --> 00:34:30.719
<v Speaker 13>I just stay pride on them, and I just stay

707
00:34:30.719 --> 00:34:33.320
<v Speaker 13>pride of playing good defense behind my guys, and that's

708
00:34:33.320 --> 00:34:34.880
<v Speaker 13>what keeps me in the in the in the Big

709
00:34:34.960 --> 00:34:36.199
<v Speaker 13>League for so many years.

710
00:34:36.239 --> 00:34:40.239
<v Speaker 6>Hey, so fair to say Venezuela is the country of shortstops.

711
00:34:40.679 --> 00:34:42.199
<v Speaker 11>It used to be. It used to be that way.

712
00:34:42.239 --> 00:34:43.320
<v Speaker 11>I feel like we still have.

713
00:34:43.559 --> 00:34:48.119
<v Speaker 13>Some representative on like the short stop from Colorado. I Seekultobar,

714
00:34:48.360 --> 00:34:51.039
<v Speaker 13>and we have Brian Rocky in clevelandand and we have

715
00:34:51.199 --> 00:34:53.920
<v Speaker 13>a couple other guys. But right now it's trending more

716
00:34:53.960 --> 00:34:56.519
<v Speaker 13>towards the catchers because we have a lot of catchers

717
00:34:56.559 --> 00:34:58.360
<v Speaker 13>in the big leagues right now. But definitely when I

718
00:34:58.519 --> 00:35:01.360
<v Speaker 13>when I was growing up, it was I mean, we

719
00:35:01.480 --> 00:35:02.960
<v Speaker 13>produce a lot of good short stops.

720
00:35:03.079 --> 00:35:05.840
<v Speaker 6>Hey, before I let you go, tomorrow is Matt camp Day.

721
00:35:06.159 --> 00:35:08.280
<v Speaker 6>You were teammates with Matt Camp when you first got

722
00:35:08.320 --> 00:35:11.840
<v Speaker 6>called up. Is it surreal to realize that you're still

723
00:35:11.840 --> 00:35:14.320
<v Speaker 6>playing and tomorrow he's officially retiring.

724
00:35:14.920 --> 00:35:17.480
<v Speaker 13>Yeah, it's crazy to see how many players that I

725
00:35:17.519 --> 00:35:21.039
<v Speaker 13>play with now they're coaching on or they like don't

726
00:35:21.039 --> 00:35:24.000
<v Speaker 13>with their careers and and moving on to the next

727
00:35:24.079 --> 00:35:25.159
<v Speaker 13>charter of their life.

<v Speaker 7>in a short time in the big leagues, and he's

828
00:40:12.119 --> 00:40:14.119

837
00:40:36.000 --> 00:40:39.039

838
00:40:39.159 --> 00:40:41.480
<v Speaker 5>Other pitches complimented. The Dodgers saw him back on the

839
00:40:41.480 --> 00:40:43.920
<v Speaker 5>fifth of June. He went five innings in that game,

840
00:40:44.000 --> 00:40:45.480
