Speaker 2: place at top the NLS, a four and a half
Speaker 2: game lead in the division. After a three to five
Speaker 2: road trip that didn't start off great but certainly finished well,
Speaker 2: with the Dodgers taking two to three in Oakland over
Speaker 2: the weekend. Well, the Dodgers are now back home for
Speaker 2: the start of a six game homestand first up a
Speaker 2: three game series against the team at the best record
Speaker 2: of the National League, the Philadelphia Phillies. Tyler glasnow on

Speaker 2: Dave Roberts. We'll hear from Freddie Freeman, who is back
Speaker 2: after his emergency situation with his son.
Speaker 3: He is back in the lineup.
Speaker 2: We'll find out more from Freddy and what is happening
Speaker 2: we'll preview this pitching matchup. David vaseegoes one on one
Speaker 2: with KEYK Hernandez. We got your Dodgers magical moment, your
Speaker 2: otani Re Ryan, and shortly we'll check in with Kirsten
Speaker 2: Watson and just a few minutes we'll hear from Steven
Speaker 2: Nelson and Rick Monday out the Galpin Motors Broadcast booth.
Speaker 4: Well.
Speaker 2: Yesterday in Oakland, the Dodgers scored early, scored in.
Speaker 3: The middle, and let the bullpen do the rest.
Speaker 2: Yes River Ryan got the start four him two third innings,
Speaker 2: two runs, five hits, four strikeouts, three walks through seventy
Speaker 2: five pitches. The Dodgers' offense gave River Ryan the early
Speaker 2: lead thanks to Key K and.
Speaker 5: The strange hits the ball to the gap in left
Speaker 5: center field. That ball is going to get down for
Speaker 5: a hit and past the center fielder bla Day around
Speaker 5: third and coming into scores. Hernandez looks around third he'll
Speaker 5: score and Key K Hernandez comes up with a two hot,
Speaker 5: two run double and the Dodgers strike first this afternoon.
Speaker 5: It is two to nothing.
Speaker 2: Two run double for KEYK on a two out pitch.
Speaker 2: RBIs the twenty two and twenty three Dodgers with a
Speaker 2: two to nothing lead, but Brent Rooker a two run
Speaker 2: home run in the bottom of the first sitting off
Speaker 2: River Ryan, that even the score. Dodgers and A's were
Speaker 2: tied at two. In the top half of the third inning,
Speaker 2: Cavin Biegio and Rbi single with an two count and
Speaker 2: two out to the inning that drove in Jason Hayward
Speaker 2: as the Dodgers took a three two lead. Now River
Speaker 2: Ryan would take that lead, put up a zero in
Speaker 2: the fourth and the fifth got into a little trouble,
Speaker 2: loaded the bases with two out, so Dave Roberts going
Speaker 2: to one of his high leverage relievers and Evan Phillips
Speaker 2: to get the final out of the inning comes in
Speaker 2: bases loaded, two outsmitting seeing Brent Rooker.
Speaker 5: Kier Meira over toward right center a few steps left
Speaker 5: center field gap opened one two pitch inside corner got
Speaker 5: him with a sweeper call strike three. Rooker standing at
Speaker 5: all plate, face to face with umpired Dan Bollino, and
Speaker 5: he strikes out looking with the bases loaded, and Evan
Speaker 5: Phillips throws water onto the fire of the.
Speaker 2: Athletics won a strikeout by Evan Phillips gets Brent Rooker
Speaker 2: looking with the bases loaded to end the thread. That's
Speaker 2: the top tier play of the game, sponsored by Arco Quality,
Speaker 2: top tier gas for less. The three to two Dodgers
Speaker 2: lead with all they need is the Dodgers bullpen allowed
Speaker 2: one base runner over four to third innings of relief.
Speaker 2: They struck out six along the way as the Dodgers
Speaker 2: hang on and get the win. Yesterday, three to two,
Speaker 2: Alex Vesi, the winning pitcher, Anthony Bonda, picks up the
Speaker 2: save after he pitched the ninth inning. Dodgers take two
Speaker 2: to three in Oakland. They go three and five on
Speaker 2: the road trip. They maintain their four and a half
Speaker 2: game lead in the division, and tonight they're back home
Speaker 2: for the start of a big three game series against
Speaker 2: the Phillies. Tyler klass Now gets the ball first pitch,
Speaker 2: coming up at seven to ten and with more We
Speaker 2: head out to the Galloping Motors broadcast booth as we
Speaker 2: hear from Steven Nelson and say hello to Rick Monday.
Speaker 3: Guys, Thank you Tim.
Speaker 6: Great to be back home.
Speaker 7: Gorgeous afternoon and evening on tap here at Dodgers Stadium
Speaker 7: in a big series on tap at Dodger Stadium Rick Monday,
Speaker 7: the Dodgers and Phillies. These two teams met at the
Speaker 7: Bank in Philadelphia just a few weeks ago, and the
Speaker 7: Phillies took it to the Dodgers in every single facet
Speaker 7: of the game. Dodgers have an opportunity for some payback.
Speaker 8: You know what's strange and just preparing for this game,
Speaker 8: you know, earlier today and looking at the different numbers,
Speaker 8: and you can take all the numbers. The biggest number
Speaker 8: is both these teams are leading their respected divisions and
Speaker 8: for the Phillies six games in front of Atlanta, for
Speaker 8: the Dodgers four and a half in front of San Diego.
Speaker 8: And yet these are two teams that have not played
Speaker 8: particularly well. I mean, the Dodgers had on July twenty
Speaker 8: fourth and eight and a half game lead. If you
Speaker 8: look at the Phillies on July twenty seventh, they led
Speaker 8: the Eastern Division by nine and a half games. Victories
Speaker 8: have not come easily to either one of the teams.
Speaker 8: And I think that you know, the Dodgers, they win
Speaker 8: each of the last two games in Oakland. Now looks
Speaker 8: like they're firing on all cylinders. That is much needed
Speaker 8: and much anticipated, no question about it.
Speaker 5: I think the.
Speaker 8: Phillies followed basically into the same category.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 7: Since the Dodgers left Philadelphia, only the Chicago White Sox
Speaker 7: have been worse than the Philadelphia Phillies, which is really
Speaker 7: crazy to fathom. And so then from a Dodgers fan standpoint,
Speaker 7: excuse me. You think about the struggles of the last
Speaker 7: road trip and the malaise that they've been on the
Speaker 7: last couple of months. They're only one and a half
Speaker 7: back of the Phills for the top spot in the
Speaker 7: National League.
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, and you know, both these bunk clubs trying
Speaker 8: to define the solution because they are much much better. Yes, granted,
Speaker 8: you know, the Phillies are getting some people back off
Speaker 8: the injured list. I think of Real Mudo right off
Speaker 8: the top of my head, their catcher. He's not in
Speaker 8: the lineup tonight. He just came back on Saturday, so
Speaker 8: kind of working him back and forth on that end
Speaker 8: of it. And the Dodgers are they got some people
Speaker 8: that are close to coming off the injured list. The
Speaker 8: biggest edition is tonight, and it's great news because Freddie
Speaker 8: Freeman returns to the lineup. That's not the greatest news
Speaker 8: the greatest news is that his son Max is doing
Speaker 8: much much better. He is out of the hospital. Freddie
Speaker 8: Freeman met with the media here this afternoon. This is
Speaker 8: going to be an emotional evening for Freddie Freeman and
Speaker 8: his family. The good news is Max is doing better.
Speaker 8: That's phenomenal news.
Speaker 7: To make room for Freddie's return from the family emergency list,
Speaker 7: the Dodgers did designate Kevin Bigio for assignment, So again
Speaker 7: Calvin Bigio DFAE. Freddie Freeman is back. But as Moe
Speaker 7: just alluded to, Maximus Freeman Max Strong, all the shirts
Speaker 7: to the Dodgers are wearing during the pregame warm ups,
Speaker 7: batting practice, and infield Max Strong across the front Freeman
Speaker 7: and five below. You can only imagine what the last
Speaker 7: week plus has been like for Freddy, for Chelsea, for
Speaker 7: the entire Freeman family. But as Freddie told the Immediate
Speaker 7: earlier today, he would not be the fact that he
Speaker 7: is here it means that Max is on the way
Speaker 7: to recovery. The doctors say that he's supposed to be
Speaker 7: a full recovery for the young three year old, and
Speaker 7: for that we are all thankful, the Dodgers' family. We're
Speaker 7: gonna step aside for a little breather here, Tim Kates,
Speaker 7: get it back to you. On the other side, we'll
Speaker 7: talk about the outstanding pitching matchup that we have tonight.
Speaker 7: Tiler Glass now and Aaron Nola.

Speaker 1: This is Kirston's Corner with Kirston Watson.
Speaker 2: And Kirson now joins us from the stadium before this
Speaker 2: series opener. It's a big one, Dodgers and Philly is.
Speaker 2: More on that in a second. But the big news
Speaker 2: today Freddie Freeman is back.
Speaker 4: Yes, Freddie Freeman is back and he took the time
Speaker 4: to speak with the media this afternoon just giving everyone
Speaker 4: an update on how his son Maximus is doing. He said,
Speaker 4: we received an update from his wife Chelsea over the weekend,
Speaker 4: say meant they were out of the of the ICU
Speaker 4: and so they was back home. So that was first
Speaker 4: just really really big news for everyone to know that
Speaker 4: Maximus is doing better.
Speaker 9: Today.
Speaker 4: Freddie said that with him returning to the team, he
Speaker 4: was very clear that the organization was very much like
Speaker 4: you need to be with your family, So do what
Speaker 4: you need to do and we will be here when
Speaker 4: you're ready to return. And he said that him being
Speaker 4: back here means that his son is continuing to progress
Speaker 4: in the right direction. He started visical therapy, so he's
Speaker 4: making his way back. He's got his smile and his energy,
Speaker 4: all of that but Freddie was very honest with us,
Speaker 4: and it was really emotional because he said that, you know, obviously,
Speaker 4: for those listeners who are parents, whenever you see a
Speaker 4: child or someone does you love and care about seeing
Speaker 4: them suffer, there are times where you just want to
Speaker 4: do anything that you can't remove that pain. And he
Speaker 4: wanted that so badly for his son, and he obviously
Speaker 4: he couldn't do that. So just to have to experience that,
Speaker 4: our hearts have been with Freddy and his wife Chelsea
Speaker 4: and all of their kids throughout this entire time. But
Speaker 4: to know that Max that he is recovering, he's recovering
Speaker 4: very well, that is just a beautiful thing. And so
Speaker 4: that means that Freddy now gets to be back with
Speaker 4: his teammates. They all surprised him wearing Max Strong T
Speaker 4: shirts and he said that definitely made him cry. But
Speaker 4: just to see the support that he has been feeling
Speaker 4: the last ten days, to see it in person, just
Speaker 4: with all of his teammates, it was really special.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no doubt about that. They're glad to have him back,
Speaker 2: glad that his son is feeling better. Dodgers had to
Speaker 2: make a corresponding move. Kirsten and Cavin Viggio.
Speaker 4: Dav It, Yeah, he was, and Dave Robert said that
Speaker 4: that was a tough conversation from what we've been seeing
Speaker 4: from Kevin, especially at these last what ten to fifteen days,
Speaker 4: with him stepping up with Freddie Freeman being down. He
Speaker 4: was holding down first base and he had proven that,
Speaker 4: you know, he was getting his back going, moving in
Speaker 4: the right direction. But he is someone, where Dave said,
Speaker 4: he is a professional, So it was sad to see
Speaker 4: him go. But obviously we're all very grateful for what
Speaker 4: he did while he was with the team. But you know,
Speaker 4: this is a conversation that we're going to be having
Speaker 4: quite a few times and in near future, because not
Speaker 4: only is Freddie Freeman back, Miguel Rojas is likely going
Speaker 4: to be back in the next couple of days. We're
Speaker 4: going to see some bullpen arms making their way back.
Speaker 4: Bruis Dark Grattarol and Michael Grove will be back pretty
Speaker 4: soon one potentially even tonight I mentioned Miguel Rojas. Mookie
Speaker 4: Betts is going to be back in a couple of weeks.
Speaker 4: So we're going to be seeing a lot of movement
Speaker 4: with the roster. So unfortunately, I think we might be
Speaker 4: having quite a few of these conversations, but hey, that's
Speaker 4: the name of the game. It's a competitive one and
Speaker 4: this team wants to win. So if that's what they're
Speaker 4: gonna have to do, and then they'll do it.
Speaker 2: It's a good problem when you got too many guys
Speaker 2: on the roster for only twenty six spots.
Speaker 3: Kirsten, we appreciate it.
Speaker 10: We'll check you with you after the game.
Speaker 2: Dodger fans and hands, you're listening to experienced by downloading
Speaker 2: the iHeartRadio app and listening in HD. It's all powered

Speaker 2: Still to come here on Dodgers on Deck, we'll dive
Speaker 2: deeper to this pitching matchup. We'll hear from Keith g Hernandez.
Speaker 2: But up next we'll get you more of an injury
Speaker 2: report and we'll get the pregame thoughts of the Dodger
Speaker 2: skipper Dave Roberts. That's all coming up, Dodgers Billies, first
Speaker 2: pitch at seven ten. I'm Tim Kasi's Los Angeles Dodgers
Speaker 2: audio number.
Speaker 1: This is Morongo Casino Dodgers Hunting Game on your home
Speaker 1: for LA Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 2: Brongo Casino Dodgers on deck continues as he leads up

Speaker 2: Casino Resort and Spy Grand Slam for good times. Tyler
Speaker 2: Glass now on the mountain the series opener. We'll dive
Speaker 2: deeper to that pitching matchup. First pitch coming up at
Speaker 2: seven ten.
Speaker 9: This is the La Dodgy Injury Report.
Speaker 2: Presented by UCLA Healthy, Official Medical partner of the Los
Speaker 2: Angeles Dodgers. Chris Taylor on the IEL at the left groinstrain.
Speaker 2: Miguel Rojas is soon to come off the IEL from
Speaker 2: that right forum tightness. Mookie Betts is getting closer to
Speaker 2: coming off the I L. Looking like the next road
Speaker 2: trip in Milwaukee Ocean. Oba Yamamoto on the IEL with
Speaker 2: the strained rotator Craft Walker Buehler on the IL with
Speaker 2: the sword him. Michael Grove working his way back on
Speaker 2: the IL with the lats soortness, Max Munsey, Bruce dar Gratol,
Speaker 2: and Ryan Brazier also working their way back from the
Speaker 2: sixty day I L. All right, let's tap back out
Speaker 2: to Dodger Stadium and get the pregame thought to the
Speaker 2: Dodger skipper.
Speaker 1: Any questions for Dave, Dave, can you just describe Dave?
Speaker 3: Can you talk about the pressure in.
Speaker 4: The dugouts with Dave Robberts, Dave, we spoke with Freddie
Speaker 4: Freeman earlier and just the emotions when his family has
Speaker 4: gone through over these last ten to fifteen days. How
Speaker 4: he's doing. I know you guys have talked a lot
Speaker 4: about him taking the time he needs, but with his
Speaker 4: return with these Max Strong just how have you seen
Speaker 4: your players truly not only just embrace their brother, their teammate,
Speaker 4: but really half is back in this moment and really
Speaker 4: true scare.
Speaker 11: I've seen it firsthand. First off, it's obviously great to
Speaker 11: have Freddie back, and judging by that press conference, he
Speaker 11: is certainly he has a heavy heart. I think there's
Speaker 11: a lot of relief in the sense of where Max
Speaker 11: is at right now, being back at home. He's back
Speaker 11: to being able to do what he loves to do,
Speaker 11: and that's played baseball. Really excited to see this Max
Speaker 11: Strong shirt in my locker. And to your point about
Speaker 11: you know the support of his teammates and coaches. Everyone's
Speaker 11: wearing it, and it's just good to have him back.
Speaker 11: And I do think that there is a little bit of,
Speaker 11: you know, therapy part of it as far as being
Speaker 11: here in a little diversion from his family reality, just
Speaker 11: getting back.
Speaker 4: To playing baseball, kind of giving that separation. When you
Speaker 4: think about just this matchup, obviously we saw what happened
Speaker 4: in Philadelphia. How are you hoping to whether it's right
Speaker 4: the wrongs or just get that going, especially against this
Speaker 4: team here in Los.
Speaker 11: Angeles good ball club, certainly, as we know that they
Speaker 11: got the best of us in Philly. I think, you know,
Speaker 11: for us tonight, it's you know, Glass goes out there
Speaker 11: and pitch us well and puts us in a good
Speaker 11: spot and get some timely hits. Nola's been a thorn
Speaker 11: in our side, always admired, you know, him as a competitor.
Speaker 11: So it's not going to be easy, but you know,
Speaker 11: coming off a serious win, I feel good about this series.
Speaker 9: All right.
Speaker 2: There's Dave Roberts talking about returner Freddie Freeman in this
Speaker 2: big three game series against the Phillies. Down the dug Out,
Speaker 2: brought to you by Service Titan. Dave Roberts is a
Speaker 2: Titan in his own right. He's got a plan before

Speaker 9: Ten, Joining Tim Kats on Dodgers on Deck.
Speaker 12: I accept everybody for who they are.
Speaker 9: This is Dodger insider David Basse.
Speaker 3: All right, DV. Certainly an emotional day.
Speaker 2: The return of Freddie Freeman and he had a chance
Speaker 2: to talk to the media earlier.
Speaker 12: Yeah, an emotional Freddie Freeman. And we saw as you
Speaker 12: saw Freddie wearing the Max straw T shirt and on
Speaker 12: the back it had number five and Freeman written across it.
Speaker 12: That was made up by somebody inside the clubhouse. The players,
Speaker 12: the coaches, the staff all wearing that in support a
Speaker 12: Max Freeman. And here's part of what Freddie Freeman said.
Speaker 12: And Freddie went on for about thirty five minutes as
Speaker 12: Freddy does an open book, just spilling his emotions and
Speaker 12: the timeline of everything that he, Chelsea and Max Freeman
Speaker 12: had to deal with.
Speaker 13: The wins that we've been getting the last three days
Speaker 13: have helped me mentally with my family, Chelsea saying, so,
Speaker 13: I think that's why I'm able to be here, because
Speaker 13: of knowing Max is going to be okay. So maybe
Speaker 13: when I step on through those lines, I can focus
Speaker 13: for three hours. I think I can. I've been through
Speaker 13: a lot in my life. I can compartment lives pretty good.
Speaker 13: Knowing your son is at home, okay. I think that
Speaker 13: will help.
Speaker 3: No doubt.
Speaker 12: And here at the stadium, I'm sure it's going to
Speaker 12: be emotional. When Freddy steps to the plate. But everybody
Speaker 12: is happy to see Freddy Freeman back because that means
Speaker 12: Max Freeman is on the way back too.
Speaker 2: No doubt about a great news to have both at
Speaker 2: Max at home and Freddy at the ballpark. Team is
Speaker 2: driven by Ford. If there's one thing we like, his
Speaker 2: choices by yours of the Ford. F one to fifty
Speaker 2: gas hybrid or all electric tough This mark can only
Speaker 2: be called F one fifty. Freddie Freeman's back, and the
Speaker 2: Dodgers' health wise looks like they're going to start getting
Speaker 2: guys trickling back in How far away is Mookie Bets TV?
Speaker 12: He is extremely close. We saw him here taking ground balls.
Speaker 12: He's going to be part of a simulated game on Thursday.
Speaker 12: And I had a chance to catch up with Mookie
Speaker 12: Betts after he was done with his pregame work about
Speaker 12: the possibility he may not be the Dodgers shortstop when
Speaker 12: he returns.
Speaker 6: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I mean I haven't talked to talk about it.
Speaker 14: I mean, there's a lot of guys that can play
Speaker 14: short here, so you know, if that's not in the cars,
Speaker 14: then you.
Speaker 3: Know that's cool.
Speaker 14: I'm just gonna that's the best position for me. I
Speaker 14: can go from there anywhere else. So I just prepare
Speaker 14: and wherever I land is where I land.
Speaker 12: And just talking to people around the Dodgers tim it's
Speaker 12: not a foregone conclusion that Mookie Bets won't be the
Speaker 12: shortstop when he comes back. He's had a lot of
Speaker 12: time to work on a better throw during this injury
Speaker 12: period of time, and I wouldn't rule out the fact
Speaker 12: Mookie Bets comes back to play shortstop. But also the
Speaker 12: Dodgers will use Miguel Rojas as well there. So the
Speaker 12: Dodgers want to see what they still have in Mookie
Speaker 12: Bets at shortstop. But if he's not the Dodgers shortstop,
Speaker 12: if Gavin Lux continues to hit the way he has
Speaker 12: been hitting since the All Star Break, the only other
Speaker 12: position for Mookie Betts is in right field.
Speaker 3: I no doubt about it. Dave.
Speaker 2: This is a big matchup against Philadelphia. We talked a
Speaker 2: couple weeks ago when they were in Philadelphia and the
Speaker 2: Dodgers got swept. It was in a three game series,
Speaker 2: full of emotion in Philadelphia.
Speaker 3: Was rocking there as this is big park.
Speaker 2: This two teams a little different than that matchup, just
Speaker 2: two and a half three weeks ago.
Speaker 12: Yeah, the Phillies are slumping in a big way. The
Speaker 12: Dodgers are only a game and a half back of
Speaker 12: Philadelphia for the best record in the National League. But
Speaker 12: talking to Andrew Freeman earlier today, he said he's not
Speaker 12: putting a lot of stock in this series because the
Speaker 12: Dodgers are still that whole. The way the Dodgers lineup
Speaker 12: looks tonight is not the way it would look in
Speaker 12: an October series against Philadelphia. We're all excited about the
Speaker 12: two best teams in the National League playing each other
Speaker 12: here at Dodgers Stadium, But just like in Philadelphia, the pitchers,
Speaker 12: the Dodgers through out there, the players they had out
Speaker 12: there are not the same players they are going to
Speaker 12: have even on their next road trip.
Speaker 6: In a week.
Speaker 12: So enjoy this series, have fun with this series, but
Speaker 12: don't put a lot of stock in this series.
Speaker 2: This roster is gonna look different, especially in the bullpen
Speaker 2: dv right because they're gonna start getting back. Maybe Graderol
Speaker 2: Brazier grow three new arms to add to the bullpen.
Speaker 12: More importantly, fresh arms, right tim, because the aging veterans
Speaker 12: and Daniel Hudson, Blake trin In and even Alex Vessia's
Speaker 12: velosity has dipped here in the last week or so.
Speaker 12: They need a kind of a breather so for them
Speaker 12: to get back those pitchers. Graderol had a breakout season
Speaker 12: last year and has not thrown one single pitch this year.
Speaker 12: To get him back is huge for this bullpen, along
Speaker 12: with Michael Kopek and Evan Phillips getting back on track.
Speaker 12: Those are power arms coming out of the bullpen, and
Speaker 12: you need power arms to win in October.
Speaker 3: No no doubt about David.
Speaker 2: Great stuff will check back you with you in just
Speaker 2: a little bit. Coming up here, I'm Wrongo Casino Dodgers
Speaker 2: on deck. You'll hear from Key k Hernandez Well break
Speaker 2: down this pitch he magic with Aaron Nola going against
Speaker 2: Tyler Glass now, but I'm next you Dodgers' magical moment
Speaker 2: well leading up to Dodgers in Philly, his first pitch
Speaker 2: in the ravine at seven ten.
Speaker 10: I'm Tim Kates's Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 1: As we were saying, this is Marongo Casino Dodgers on
Speaker 1: jack on the official home of La Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 2: Leading up to Dodgers and Phillies on this Monday night, start.
Speaker 3: Of a three game set, beginning of.
Speaker 2: A six game homestand with the Pirates in town over
Speaker 2: the weekend, Tyler glassnow gets to start tonight. Will dive
Speaker 2: deeper into the numbers coming up in just a little

Speaker 1: Com and now joined by David Bassaying. Here's La Dodgers
Speaker 1: broadcaster and World Series champion Dodger Rick Monday.
Speaker 12: Rick, It's great to be back with you, but especially
Speaker 12: great to be back at Dodgers Stadium.
Speaker 8: Well, it always is and I think the Dodgers the
Speaker 8: home remedy. Let's go with that quote unquote, the home
Speaker 8: remedy is to come back home. Because the Dodgers did
Speaker 8: not start up this road trip well at all that
Speaker 8: they just completed. They won two of the last three
Speaker 8: that was in Oakland against the A's, and don't discount
Speaker 8: the factors, say, well, it was the Oakland A's last
Speaker 8: place in the Western Division. The A's since a certain
Speaker 8: date in July had played some of the best baseball
Speaker 8: in Major League Baseball itself. And I've always said this
Speaker 8: is that the good teams, when you go into a town,
Speaker 8: they're waiting for you, and they understand that. The Dodgers
Speaker 8: come in first place in the Western Division the National League,
Speaker 8: and the first game of that series, and really all
Speaker 8: throughout that series too, is that the A's were up
Speaker 8: to the task. They played as well as you can
Speaker 8: possibly play.
Speaker 12: Rick, it feels like there's more optimism around the Dodgers
Speaker 12: for a few different reasons. Not only winning two out
Speaker 12: of three in Oakland, but how about yesterday the bullpen
Speaker 12: allowing just one hit. I heard you and Tim never
Speaker 12: talking about that.
Speaker 8: Yeah, the bullpen did a good job. If you look
Speaker 8: at the middle game of that series, Dodgers ran away
Speaker 8: with it. But they ran away in the ninth any
Speaker 8: in particular, by stringing some bass hits together. I thought
Speaker 8: there was a more urgent message from one batter to
Speaker 8: the other about making contact. I thought that they were
Speaker 8: much more selective, because if you look at how the
Speaker 8: Dodgers entered that last game, that being yesterday, in that series,
Speaker 8: the Dodgers had struck out eighty eight times in the
Speaker 8: first number of games on that road trip. And I
Speaker 8: mean that comes down to, you know, if you add
Speaker 8: the fact that they struck out eleven times yesterday, which
Speaker 8: was actually a little bit less number. I mean, you're
Speaker 8: looking at thirty three innings on this last road trip,
Speaker 8: a total of thirty three innings that there was nothing
Speaker 8: but strikeouts.
Speaker 12: Good news Freddy Freeman is back to help us. Great
Speaker 12: even better news that his son is on the way
Speaker 12: back to recome.
Speaker 8: Absolutely absolutely, And I know that you were there with
Speaker 8: the media when Freddy talked to the media for a
Speaker 8: considerable period of time and he opened up his heart.
Speaker 8: And the nice thing is and one of the things
Speaker 8: we'll talk about when he walked into the locker room
Speaker 8: today on every locker. On the front it said Maximus
Speaker 8: and on the back it was Freeman number five. Freeman
Speaker 8: said he broke into tears when he saw that because
Speaker 8: this is a very supportive organization. It's a very supportive
Speaker 8: team that he is part of, and I think also
Speaker 8: the community. I think it's going to be something to
Speaker 8: look at the first a bat that Freddie Freeman goes
Speaker 8: to home Plate tonight. I think it's going to be
Speaker 8: an emotional thing and I believe they will turn off
Speaker 8: the pitchclock because I think there's going to be a
Speaker 8: thunderous roar for Freddie. In his statement from the fans
Speaker 8: here that they're just tickled to death, a lot of
Speaker 8: answers to prayers and good thoughts that their family is
Speaker 8: is recovering now. Max is on the road to recovery.
Speaker 8: Is going to take a while, but he's out of danger.
Speaker 8: And for every parent, there's nothing worse than having your
Speaker 8: child in a helpless situation, no.
Speaker 12: Doubt, And that's a great sign that Freddie's here because
Speaker 12: that means Maximus is on his way back.
Speaker 6: Absolutely.
Speaker 8: Let me ask you something on a lighter side, much
Speaker 8: lighter side, does the name Harold Arlen register at all
Speaker 8: to you. No, no, no, no, well he could have
Speaker 8: gone on honeymoon. I mentioned that name with us on
Speaker 8: the radio side, because it was on this date that
Speaker 8: Harold Arlin, a staff announcer for KDKA and Pittsburgh on
Speaker 8: their radio station nineteen twenty one, was the first ever
Speaker 8: broadcast of a Major League baseball game. We should all
Speaker 8: recognize the name of Harold Arlind because he was a
Speaker 8: staff announcer. They said it, Katieka, look we're going to
Speaker 8: do the first broadcast of a of a Major League
Speaker 8: baseball game. And he did the broadcast this day.
Speaker 12: KDKA, I believe is the hub in Pittsburgh.
Speaker 8: Correct, absolutely, yeah, yeah. So the Pirates won by the way,
Speaker 8: eight to five. Guess who they beat. The team that
Speaker 8: the Doctors will beat tonight, the Phillies.
Speaker 12: I love it. Rick, thanks a lot for stopping by.
Speaker 12: We'll check back in with you.
Speaker 8: You see again, David, welcome home.

Speaker 12: We're back at Dodger Stadium with the Dodgers and Key
Speaker 12: K Hernandez. This is Key K time August September and
Speaker 12: we all know October. Key K, thanks a lot for
Speaker 12: the time, appreciated.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I guess I didn't have a choice.
Speaker 12: All right, Well, I helped you out with your pregame
Speaker 12: drills while Dino Ebol was meeting with the media, and
Speaker 12: you're helping me out right now.
Speaker 16: Uh yeah, Now, I understand why you're a pro prilayer
Speaker 16: and you don't really love to criticize players, because I
Speaker 16: can see that you weren't very good at this game.
Speaker 6: So I appreciate you helping me out and all and
Speaker 6: h here we are now.
Speaker 12: I took it for granted. I was across from a
Speaker 12: really great defender, maybe the best versatile defensive player in
Speaker 12: Major League Baseball, and I was going too light on
Speaker 12: that baseball.
Speaker 6: That you use.
Speaker 16: It's okay, people, Uh, this is radio. People can't really
Speaker 16: see what happens. So let's get to business.
Speaker 6: Okay, key K.
Speaker 12: Dave Roberts said, the other day, you're playing your best baseball.
Speaker 12: Do you feel like you're starting to hit your stride
Speaker 12: at the right time.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm definitely feeling better to play. Uh, you know.
Speaker 16: Getting this stretch of games in a row, and uh,
Speaker 16: this has definitely helped to get into a little bit
Speaker 16: of rhythm here. You know, of course, a roster is
Speaker 16: pretty beaten down right now and we're not playing great baseball,
Speaker 16: so uh, you know, I recognized right away that I
Speaker 16: was gonna you know, there was not a lot of
Speaker 16: people to to to cover third base, so I was
Speaker 16: gonna get a pretty good chance to play. And I
Speaker 16: realized that it was the right time to rise up
Speaker 16: to the occasion. And uh, you know, I'm playing probably
Speaker 16: the best best two three week stretch of games that
Speaker 16: I played this year, and I'm not trying to really
Speaker 16: think too much about it. I'm just trying to you know,
Speaker 16: go out there and keep having fun playing baseball and
Speaker 16: uh doing my part.
Speaker 12: Do you feel like the pitching, I know, we we
Speaker 12: have fun with that, Like that's part of having fun
Speaker 12: and just making you play loose and just play the game.
Speaker 6: Ah, Well, I guess, but not really.
Speaker 16: I just, uh, you know, the last two times, the
Speaker 16: two times I pitched this year, I've been in a
Speaker 16: little bit of an easier situation than.
Speaker 6: The only time I had pitched before in my career.
Speaker 16: So so it's easy to have fun when it's not
Speaker 16: a tide game and you're on the bump not really
Speaker 16: knowing what the heck you're doing. But uh, but yeah,
Speaker 16: I know, just it's just trying to you know, trying
Speaker 16: to enjoy the little things and uh, you know, trying
Speaker 16: to cherish each each moment. It's been a it's been
Speaker 16: a grind of a season for me. Offensively, I feel
Speaker 16: like defensively, I'd gotten back to to being the player
Speaker 16: that I've been throughout my career.
Speaker 6: I feel like last year was a little.
Speaker 16: Bit of an outlier, uh, especially because of you know,
Speaker 16: I don't like to play excuses, but the reality was
Speaker 16: that I was hurt and I wasn't really understanding why
Speaker 16: I was struggling defensively. But uh, you know, at least
Speaker 16: this year i've been I've been doing you know, what
Speaker 16: I usually do defensively everywhere, and uh, you know, obviously
Speaker 16: it was about performing at the plate and you know,
Speaker 16: the last two weeks have been have been better, so uh,
Speaker 16: you know, hopefully we can build off that and uh,
Speaker 16: you know, keep it going so that Uh, I'm locked
Speaker 16: in when when the real fun starts.
Speaker 12: Kay, I love the way you play the game, but
Speaker 12: I also love what you bring in the clubhouse. And
Speaker 12: I know everybody talks about you know, your great personality,
Speaker 12: your joyful personality. But it feels like at this point
Speaker 12: in time of the season, you bring the edge and
Speaker 12: urgency this team needs. Do you feel that Do you
Speaker 12: feel like this team needs a little bit more of that?
Speaker 6: Uh?
Speaker 16: I mean, yeah, I believe we need urgency, We need
Speaker 16: to we need edge. It's easy, you know, when we
Speaker 16: look at the our last month or so of baseball,
Speaker 16: we've been pretty inconsistent. We've been like you know, as
Speaker 16: a team, we've been up and down, and and I
Speaker 16: feel like it's easy for us to, you know, forget
Speaker 16: who we are as a team and and and forget
Speaker 16: that we're right right among the top of best teams
Speaker 16: in the league. And I think sometimes we forget to
Speaker 16: show that on the field. And you know, I think
Speaker 16: obviously getting close closer to to October and all that
Speaker 16: bring some some sense of urgency in me as well.
Speaker 16: But I think the fact that my season has been
Speaker 16: such a grind and filled with struggles that seeing all
Speaker 16: the injuries happen, it was kind of a wake up
Speaker 16: call for me and it was.
Speaker 6: Time to get going.
Speaker 16: Otherwise, you know, uh, opportunities and my career is gonna
Speaker 16: you know, get shortened out. But that's something that's out
Speaker 16: of their control and you try not to think about it.
Speaker 16: But definitely, I it helped me open my eyes and
Speaker 16: bring some sense of urgency on the field and when
Speaker 16: I playing, so hopefully I can keep it going.
Speaker 12: Key K, great to catch up with you. City of

Speaker 3: Dodgers and Phillies. Tyler Glass Now Aaron Nola.
Speaker 2: The pitching matchup two top teams in the National League
Speaker 2: squaring off here in early August. Dodgers fans and hands
Speaker 2: are listening experience by downloading the iHeartRadio app and listening
Speaker 2: in HD. It's all powered by LA Care Health Plan
Speaker 2: serving all Angelino's lacare dot Org. All right, let's head
Speaker 2: back out to the booth. Stephen Nelson, Rick Monday, guys, All.
Speaker 7: Right, TC Dodgers in Phillies, Game one fast approaching here
Speaker 7: at Dodgers Stadium and Rick Monday. Our previous segment we
Speaker 7: talked about the biggest news in Dodger Nation is the
Speaker 7: return of Freddy Freeman thanks to the improving health of
Speaker 7: his young son Maximus. He and Fred and Chelsea elated
Speaker 7: at that news. Obviously, after too much time in the ICU,
Speaker 7: Max is on the road to recovery. Now, Freddy says
Speaker 7: his swing.
Speaker 3: Has felt good the past couple of days.
Speaker 7: We'll see how it works against the curve ball of
Speaker 7: one Aaron Nola.
Speaker 6: Tonight's Fildalp.
Speaker 8: Yeah, there's no question about it. And we'll talk more
Speaker 8: and more about Freddy Freeman and his family as the
Speaker 8: game continues. For Tyler Glass, now you start to look
Speaker 8: at Glass now now his third start off the injured
Speaker 8: list and the lower back stiffness. He pitched very well
Speaker 8: on Tuesday. Yes, he gave up three runs, but he
Speaker 8: went seven innings. He wound up having a no decision
Speaker 8: because the book Ben could not hold the lead at
Speaker 8: that particular time, but he pitched well enough to get
Speaker 8: the victory. And then you look at the flip side
Speaker 8: of the coin. The Dodgers have to figure out how
Speaker 8: to get to Aaron Nola, in particular with that good
Speaker 8: curve ball that he has. Dodgers have seen him plenty
Speaker 8: of times in the past. But for Nola, first of all,
Speaker 8: he does not walk a great number of batters one
Speaker 8: hundred and thirty six in the third innings, He's walked
Speaker 8: only thirty four. He struck out almost a batter per
Speaker 8: inning if you look at the overall score things. I
Speaker 8: think the Dodgers the last two games, they put their
Speaker 8: theory back into play, keeping the line moving and not
Speaker 8: trying to hit the ball out of the ballpark all
Speaker 8: the time. It looked like they were going more contact
Speaker 8: than you needed tonight.
Speaker 7: I don't care how poorly these two teams are playing
Speaker 7: coming into this series. It's a heavyweight bout the top
Speaker 7: two teams in the National League. The Dodgers only one
Speaker 7: and a half back of the Phillies entering this three
Speaker 7: game set.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Dodgers and Philly is getting ready to square off.
Speaker 2: The Dodgers start the night with a four and a
Speaker 2: half game lead in the division over both the Diamondbacks
Speaker 2: and the Padres. But look out for those pesky Giants.
Speaker 2: They have now won two in a row, eight of
Speaker 2: their last ten, and they're only nine games back in.
Speaker 3: The NL West.
Speaker 2: It's August fifth, but the Dodgers first place in the
Speaker 2: NL West, battling it out with the other top team
Speaker 2: in the National League, the Philadelphia Phillies. Tyler Glass now
Speaker 2: Aaron Nola first pitch is next. Enjoy the game, everybody,
Speaker 2: don't forget afterward. David Vasa's got you cover with all
Speaker 2: the postgame highlights, reaction and Dodgers as well. I'm Tim
