00:00:24.600 --> 00:00:27.640
<v Speaker 2>road trip that didn't start off great but certainly finished well,

00:00:27.839 --> 00:00:30.039
<v Speaker 2>with the Dodgers taking two to three in Oakland over

9
00:00:30.039 --> 00:00:32.200

<v Speaker 4>Well.

28
00:01:16.599 --> 00:01:21.439
<v Speaker 2>Yesterday in Oakland, the Dodgers scored early, scored in.

29
00:01:21.400 --> 00:01:23.879
<v Speaker 3>The middle, and let the bullpen do the rest.

30
00:01:23.959 --> 00:01:27.040
<v Speaker 2>Yes River Ryan got the start four him two third innings,

31
00:01:27.040 --> 00:01:30.200
<v Speaker 2>two runs, five hits, four strikeouts, three walks through seventy

32
00:01:30.239 --> 00:01:33.040
<v Speaker 2>five pitches. The Dodgers' offense gave River Ryan the early

33
00:01:33.159 --> 00:01:35.280
<v Speaker 2>lead thanks to Key K and.

34
00:01:35.359 --> 00:01:37.239
<v Speaker 5>The strange hits the ball to the gap in left

35
00:01:37.239 --> 00:01:39.519
<v Speaker 5>center field. That ball is going to get down for

36
00:01:39.599 --> 00:01:43.319
<v Speaker 5>a hit and past the center fielder bla Day around

37
00:01:43.400 --> 00:01:47.319
<v Speaker 5>third and coming into scores. Hernandez looks around third he'll

38
00:01:47.359 --> 00:01:51.040
<v Speaker 5>score and Key K Hernandez comes up with a two hot,

39
00:01:51.079 --> 00:01:54.719
<v Speaker 5>two run double and the Dodgers strike first this afternoon.

40
00:01:54.920 --> 00:01:56.480
<v Speaker 5>It is two to nothing.

41
00:01:56.359 --> 00:01:59.280
<v Speaker 2>Two run double for KEYK on a two out pitch.

42
00:01:59.480 --> 00:02:01.840
<v Speaker 2>RBIs the twenty two and twenty three Dodgers with a

43
00:02:01.840 --> 00:02:04.480
<v Speaker 2>two to nothing lead, but Brent Rooker a two run

44
00:02:04.560 --> 00:02:06.599
<v Speaker 2>home run in the bottom of the first sitting off

45
00:02:06.680 --> 00:02:09.680
<v Speaker 2>River Ryan, that even the score. Dodgers and A's were

46
00:02:09.719 --> 00:02:13.039
<v Speaker 2>tied at two. In the top half of the third inning,

47
00:02:13.120 --> 00:02:16.879
<v Speaker 2>Cavin Biegio and Rbi single with an two count and

48
00:02:17.000 --> 00:02:20.039
<v Speaker 2>two out to the inning that drove in Jason Hayward

49
00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:23.639
<v Speaker 2>as the Dodgers took a three two lead. Now River

50
00:02:23.719 --> 00:02:25.680
<v Speaker 2>Ryan would take that lead, put up a zero in

51
00:02:25.719 --> 00:02:28.199
<v Speaker 2>the fourth and the fifth got into a little trouble,

52
00:02:28.280 --> 00:02:31.319
<v Speaker 2>loaded the bases with two out, so Dave Roberts going

53
00:02:31.360 --> 00:02:34.439
<v Speaker 2>to one of his high leverage relievers and Evan Phillips

54
00:02:34.439 --> 00:02:36.400
<v Speaker 2>to get the final out of the inning comes in

55
00:02:36.520 --> 00:02:39.520
<v Speaker 2>bases loaded, two outsmitting seeing Brent Rooker.

56
00:02:39.639 --> 00:02:42.039
<v Speaker 5>Kier Meira over toward right center a few steps left

57
00:02:42.039 --> 00:02:46.719
<v Speaker 5>center field gap opened one two pitch inside corner got

58
00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:51.240
<v Speaker 5>him with a sweeper call strike three. Rooker standing at

59
00:02:51.280 --> 00:02:55.479
<v Speaker 5>all plate, face to face with umpired Dan Bollino, and

60
00:02:55.599 --> 00:02:59.840
<v Speaker 5>he strikes out looking with the bases loaded, and Evan

61
00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:06.719
<v Speaker 5>Phillips throws water onto the fire of the.

62
00:03:05.520 --> 00:03:09.639
<v Speaker 2>Athletics won a strikeout by Evan Phillips gets Brent Rooker

63
00:03:09.879 --> 00:03:12.759
<v Speaker 2>looking with the bases loaded to end the thread. That's

64
00:03:12.759 --> 00:03:15.000
<v Speaker 2>the top tier play of the game, sponsored by Arco Quality,

65
00:03:15.039 --> 00:03:17.560
<v Speaker 2>top tier gas for less. The three to two Dodgers

66
00:03:17.639 --> 00:03:20.599
<v Speaker 2>lead with all they need is the Dodgers bullpen allowed

67
00:03:20.639 --> 00:03:23.439
<v Speaker 2>one base runner over four to third innings of relief.

68
00:03:23.479 --> 00:03:26.719
<v Speaker 2>They struck out six along the way as the Dodgers

69
00:03:26.719 --> 00:03:28.680
<v Speaker 2>hang on and get the win. Yesterday, three to two,

70
00:03:28.719 --> 00:03:31.800
<v Speaker 2>Alex Vesi, the winning pitcher, Anthony Bonda, picks up the

71
00:03:31.840 --> 00:03:34.159
<v Speaker 2>save after he pitched the ninth inning. Dodgers take two

72
00:03:34.199 --> 00:03:36.479
<v Speaker 2>to three in Oakland. They go three and five on

73
00:03:36.520 --> 00:03:38.719
<v Speaker 2>the road trip. They maintain their four and a half

74
00:03:38.800 --> 00:03:41.240
<v Speaker 2>game lead in the division, and tonight they're back home

75
00:03:41.360 --> 00:03:44.639
<v Speaker 2>for the start of a big three game series against

76
00:03:44.680 --> 00:03:47.919
<v Speaker 2>the Phillies. Tyler klass Now gets the ball first pitch,

77
00:03:47.960 --> 00:03:49.639
<v Speaker 2>coming up at seven to ten and with more We

78
00:03:49.680 --> 00:03:52.919
<v Speaker 2>head out to the Galloping Motors broadcast booth as we

79
00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:55.800
<v Speaker 2>hear from Steven Nelson and say hello to Rick Monday.

80
00:03:55.439 --> 00:03:56.879
<v Speaker 3>Guys, Thank you Tim.

81
00:03:57.000 --> 00:03:58.080
<v Speaker 6>Great to be back home.

82
00:03:58.199 --> 00:04:01.280
<v Speaker 7>Gorgeous afternoon and evening on tap here at Dodgers Stadium

83
00:04:01.280 --> 00:04:04.000
<v Speaker 7>in a big series on tap at Dodger Stadium Rick Monday,

84
00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:07.360
<v Speaker 7>the Dodgers and Phillies. These two teams met at the

85
00:04:07.360 --> 00:04:10.680
<v Speaker 7>Bank in Philadelphia just a few weeks ago, and the

86
00:04:10.680 --> 00:04:13.360
<v Speaker 7>Phillies took it to the Dodgers in every single facet

87
00:04:13.400 --> 00:04:15.960
<v Speaker 7>of the game. Dodgers have an opportunity for some payback.

88
00:04:16.079 --> 00:04:19.160
<v Speaker 8>You know what's strange and just preparing for this game,

89
00:04:19.399 --> 00:04:21.759
<v Speaker 8>you know, earlier today and looking at the different numbers,

90
00:04:21.759 --> 00:04:23.759
<v Speaker 8>and you can take all the numbers. The biggest number

91
00:04:23.800 --> 00:04:26.279
<v Speaker 8>is both these teams are leading their respected divisions and

92
00:04:26.319 --> 00:04:29.000
<v Speaker 8>for the Phillies six games in front of Atlanta, for

93
00:04:29.079 --> 00:04:31.839
<v Speaker 8>the Dodgers four and a half in front of San Diego.

94
00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:35.000
<v Speaker 8>And yet these are two teams that have not played

95
00:04:35.040 --> 00:04:38.720
<v Speaker 8>particularly well. I mean, the Dodgers had on July twenty

96
00:04:38.720 --> 00:04:40.560
<v Speaker 8>fourth and eight and a half game lead. If you

97
00:04:40.560 --> 00:04:43.160
<v Speaker 8>look at the Phillies on July twenty seventh, they led

98
00:04:43.160 --> 00:04:47.079
<v Speaker 8>the Eastern Division by nine and a half games. Victories

99
00:04:47.120 --> 00:04:49.439
<v Speaker 8>have not come easily to either one of the teams.

100
00:04:49.920 --> 00:04:52.279
<v Speaker 8>And I think that you know, the Dodgers, they win

101
00:04:52.319 --> 00:04:54.480
<v Speaker 8>each of the last two games in Oakland. Now looks

102
00:04:54.480 --> 00:04:57.560
<v Speaker 8>like they're firing on all cylinders. That is much needed

103
00:04:57.560 --> 00:04:59.519
<v Speaker 8>and much anticipated, no question about it.

104
00:04:59.759 --> 00:05:00.160
<v Speaker 5>I think the.

105
00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:02.279
<v Speaker 8>Phillies followed basically into the same category.

106
00:05:02.360 --> 00:05:02.519
<v Speaker 9>Yeah.

107
00:05:02.600 --> 00:05:05.959
<v Speaker 7>Since the Dodgers left Philadelphia, only the Chicago White Sox

108
00:05:06.000 --> 00:05:09.480
<v Speaker 7>have been worse than the Philadelphia Phillies, which is really

109
00:05:09.480 --> 00:05:13.680
<v Speaker 7>crazy to fathom. And so then from a Dodgers fan standpoint,

110
00:05:13.759 --> 00:05:16.839
<v Speaker 7>excuse me. You think about the struggles of the last

111
00:05:16.920 --> 00:05:18.639
<v Speaker 7>road trip and the malaise that they've been on the

112
00:05:18.720 --> 00:05:21.079
<v Speaker 7>last couple of months. They're only one and a half

113
00:05:21.279 --> 00:05:23.040
<v Speaker 7>back of the Phills for the top spot in the

114
00:05:23.120 --> 00:05:23.839
<v Speaker 7>National League.

115
00:05:23.920 --> 00:05:26.839
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, yeah, and you know, both these bunk clubs trying

116
00:05:26.839 --> 00:05:30.839
<v Speaker 8>to define the solution because they are much much better. Yes, granted,

117
00:05:31.120 --> 00:05:33.879
<v Speaker 8>you know, the Phillies are getting some people back off

118
00:05:33.920 --> 00:05:37.000
<v Speaker 8>the injured list. I think of Real Mudo right off

119
00:05:37.000 --> 00:05:38.519
<v Speaker 8>the top of my head, their catcher. He's not in

120
00:05:38.519 --> 00:05:42.560
<v Speaker 8>the lineup tonight. He just came back on Saturday, so

121
00:05:42.920 --> 00:05:44.879
<v Speaker 8>kind of working him back and forth on that end

122
00:05:44.959 --> 00:05:47.920
<v Speaker 8>of it. And the Dodgers are they got some people

123
00:05:47.959 --> 00:05:50.439
<v Speaker 8>that are close to coming off the injured list. The

124
00:05:50.439 --> 00:05:54.839
<v Speaker 8>biggest edition is tonight, and it's great news because Freddie

125
00:05:54.839 --> 00:05:57.959
<v Speaker 8>Freeman returns to the lineup. That's not the greatest news

126
00:05:58.000 --> 00:06:00.240
<v Speaker 8>the greatest news is that his son Max is doing

127
00:06:00.360 --> 00:06:03.519
<v Speaker 8>much much better. He is out of the hospital. Freddie

128
00:06:03.519 --> 00:06:05.920
<v Speaker 8>Freeman met with the media here this afternoon. This is

129
00:06:05.959 --> 00:06:08.399
<v Speaker 8>going to be an emotional evening for Freddie Freeman and

130
00:06:08.439 --> 00:06:12.360
<v Speaker 8>his family. The good news is Max is doing better.

131
00:06:12.639 --> 00:06:14.279
<v Speaker 8>That's phenomenal news.

132
00:06:14.720 --> 00:06:17.519
<v Speaker 7>To make room for Freddie's return from the family emergency list,

133
00:06:17.560 --> 00:06:21.240
<v Speaker 7>the Dodgers did designate Kevin Bigio for assignment, So again

134
00:06:21.319 --> 00:06:24.519
<v Speaker 7>Calvin Bigio DFAE. Freddie Freeman is back. But as Moe

135
00:06:24.560 --> 00:06:27.920
<v Speaker 7>just alluded to, Maximus Freeman Max Strong, all the shirts

136
00:06:27.920 --> 00:06:30.040
<v Speaker 7>to the Dodgers are wearing during the pregame warm ups,

137
00:06:30.040 --> 00:06:34.079
<v Speaker 7>batting practice, and infield Max Strong across the front Freeman

138
00:06:34.160 --> 00:06:37.720
<v Speaker 7>and five below. You can only imagine what the last

139
00:06:37.759 --> 00:06:41.079
<v Speaker 7>week plus has been like for Freddy, for Chelsea, for

140
00:06:41.160 --> 00:06:43.519
<v Speaker 7>the entire Freeman family. But as Freddie told the Immediate

141
00:06:43.560 --> 00:06:45.480
<v Speaker 7>earlier today, he would not be the fact that he

142
00:06:45.560 --> 00:06:47.240
<v Speaker 7>is here it means that Max is on the way

143
00:06:47.279 --> 00:06:49.360
<v Speaker 7>to recovery. The doctors say that he's supposed to be

144
00:06:49.639 --> 00:06:52.240
<v Speaker 7>a full recovery for the young three year old, and

145
00:06:52.360 --> 00:06:55.319
<v Speaker 7>for that we are all thankful, the Dodgers' family. We're

146
00:06:55.319 --> 00:06:57.680
<v Speaker 7>gonna step aside for a little breather here, Tim Kates,

147
00:06:57.680 --> 00:06:59.040
<v Speaker 7>get it back to you. On the other side, we'll

148
00:06:59.040 --> 00:07:01.439
<v Speaker 7>talk about the outstanding pitching matchup that we have tonight.

149
00:07:01.480 --> 00:07:03.120
<v Speaker 7>Tiler Glass now and Aaron Nola.

150
00:07:03.199 --> 00:07:04.839
<v Speaker 2>All right, thanks a lot, Nelly. As we came down

151
00:07:04.839 --> 00:07:07.519
<v Speaker 2>to first pitch, Dodger fans, get your game day meal

152
00:07:07.680 --> 00:07:11.040
<v Speaker 2>on a Shaky's Pizza parlor. What are your Shaky's Pizza,

190
00:09:01.360 --> 00:09:03.279
<v Speaker 2>More on that in a second. But the big news

191
00:09:03.279 --> 00:09:05.000
<v Speaker 2>today Freddie Freeman is back.

192
00:09:05.720 --> 00:09:08.000
<v Speaker 4>Yes, Freddie Freeman is back and he took the time

193
00:09:08.039 --> 00:09:10.639
<v Speaker 4>to speak with the media this afternoon just giving everyone

194
00:09:10.639 --> 00:09:13.720
<v Speaker 4>an update on how his son Maximus is doing. He said,

195
00:09:13.799 --> 00:09:16.519
<v Speaker 4>we received an update from his wife Chelsea over the weekend,

196
00:09:16.600 --> 00:09:19.600
<v Speaker 4>say meant they were out of the of the ICU

197
00:09:19.759 --> 00:09:22.360
<v Speaker 4>and so they was back home. So that was first

198
00:09:22.519 --> 00:09:24.919
<v Speaker 4>just really really big news for everyone to know that

199
00:09:24.960 --> 00:09:26.080
<v Speaker 4>Maximus is doing better.

200
00:09:26.320 --> 00:09:26.679
<v Speaker 9>Today.

201
00:09:26.840 --> 00:09:29.159
<v Speaker 4>Freddie said that with him returning to the team, he

202
00:09:29.279 --> 00:09:32.720
<v Speaker 4>was very clear that the organization was very much like

203
00:09:33.320 --> 00:09:35.000
<v Speaker 4>you need to be with your family, So do what

204
00:09:35.039 --> 00:09:36.440
<v Speaker 4>you need to do and we will be here when

205
00:09:36.480 --> 00:09:39.000
<v Speaker 4>you're ready to return. And he said that him being

206
00:09:39.080 --> 00:09:42.759
<v Speaker 4>back here means that his son is continuing to progress

207
00:09:42.799 --> 00:09:46.200
<v Speaker 4>in the right direction. He started visical therapy, so he's

208
00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:48.960
<v Speaker 4>making his way back. He's got his smile and his energy,

209
00:09:49.039 --> 00:09:51.679
<v Speaker 4>all of that but Freddie was very honest with us,

210
00:09:51.720 --> 00:09:54.759
<v Speaker 4>and it was really emotional because he said that, you know, obviously,

211
00:09:55.840 --> 00:09:59.480
<v Speaker 4>for those listeners who are parents, whenever you see a

212
00:09:59.559 --> 00:10:01.879
<v Speaker 4>child or someone does you love and care about seeing

213
00:10:01.879 --> 00:10:04.080
<v Speaker 4>them suffer, there are times where you just want to

214
00:10:04.120 --> 00:10:06.960
<v Speaker 4>do anything that you can't remove that pain. And he

215
00:10:07.159 --> 00:10:09.559
<v Speaker 4>wanted that so badly for his son, and he obviously

216
00:10:09.559 --> 00:10:12.320
<v Speaker 4>he couldn't do that. So just to have to experience that,

217
00:10:12.639 --> 00:10:15.000
<v Speaker 4>our hearts have been with Freddy and his wife Chelsea

218
00:10:15.080 --> 00:10:17.240
<v Speaker 4>and all of their kids throughout this entire time. But

219
00:10:17.320 --> 00:10:20.840
<v Speaker 4>to know that Max that he is recovering, he's recovering

220
00:10:21.000 --> 00:10:23.240
<v Speaker 4>very well, that is just a beautiful thing. And so

221
00:10:23.279 --> 00:10:25.639
<v Speaker 4>that means that Freddy now gets to be back with

222
00:10:25.679 --> 00:10:28.559
<v Speaker 4>his teammates. They all surprised him wearing Max Strong T

223
00:10:28.720 --> 00:10:32.320
<v Speaker 4>shirts and he said that definitely made him cry. But

224
00:10:32.720 --> 00:10:35.360
<v Speaker 4>just to see the support that he has been feeling

225
00:10:35.840 --> 00:10:39.200
<v Speaker 4>the last ten days, to see it in person, just

226
00:10:39.240 --> 00:10:41.039
<v Speaker 4>with all of his teammates, it was really special.

227
00:10:41.159 --> 00:10:43.279
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, no doubt about that. They're glad to have him back,

228
00:10:43.320 --> 00:10:45.639
<v Speaker 2>glad that his son is feeling better. Dodgers had to

229
00:10:45.679 --> 00:10:48.919
<v Speaker 2>make a corresponding move. Kirsten and Cavin Viggio.

230
00:10:48.840 --> 00:10:51.519
<v Speaker 4>Dav It, Yeah, he was, and Dave Robert said that

231
00:10:51.519 --> 00:10:54.559
<v Speaker 4>that was a tough conversation from what we've been seeing

232
00:10:54.559 --> 00:10:57.519
<v Speaker 4>from Kevin, especially at these last what ten to fifteen days,

233
00:10:57.559 --> 00:11:00.600
<v Speaker 4>with him stepping up with Freddie Freeman being down. He

234
00:11:00.720 --> 00:11:02.960
<v Speaker 4>was holding down first base and he had proven that,

235
00:11:03.000 --> 00:11:04.799
<v Speaker 4>you know, he was getting his back going, moving in

236
00:11:04.840 --> 00:11:08.480
<v Speaker 4>the right direction. But he is someone, where Dave said,

237
00:11:08.519 --> 00:11:10.360
<v Speaker 4>he is a professional, So it was sad to see

238
00:11:10.440 --> 00:11:12.519
<v Speaker 4>him go. But obviously we're all very grateful for what

239
00:11:12.559 --> 00:11:15.440
<v Speaker 4>he did while he was with the team. But you know,

240
00:11:15.559 --> 00:11:17.840
<v Speaker 4>this is a conversation that we're going to be having

241
00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:20.679
<v Speaker 4>quite a few times and in near future, because not

242
00:11:20.720 --> 00:11:23.759
<v Speaker 4>only is Freddie Freeman back, Miguel Rojas is likely going

243
00:11:23.840 --> 00:11:25.480
<v Speaker 4>to be back in the next couple of days. We're

244
00:11:25.519 --> 00:11:27.799
<v Speaker 4>going to see some bullpen arms making their way back.

245
00:11:27.840 --> 00:11:30.960
<v Speaker 4>Bruis Dark Grattarol and Michael Grove will be back pretty

246
00:11:31.000 --> 00:11:35.919
<v Speaker 4>soon one potentially even tonight I mentioned Miguel Rojas. Mookie

247
00:11:35.919 --> 00:11:37.679
<v Speaker 4>Betts is going to be back in a couple of weeks.

248
00:11:37.679 --> 00:11:39.879
<v Speaker 4>So we're going to be seeing a lot of movement

249
00:11:39.879 --> 00:11:42.399
<v Speaker 4>with the roster. So unfortunately, I think we might be

250
00:11:42.399 --> 00:11:46.039
<v Speaker 4>having quite a few of these conversations, but hey, that's

251
00:11:46.080 --> 00:11:48.360
<v Speaker 4>the name of the game. It's a competitive one and

252
00:11:48.559 --> 00:11:50.039
<v Speaker 4>this team wants to win. So if that's what they're

253
00:11:50.039 --> 00:11:51.240
<v Speaker 4>gonna have to do, and then they'll do it.

254
00:11:51.240 --> 00:11:53.440
<v Speaker 2>It's a good problem when you got too many guys

255
00:11:53.480 --> 00:11:55.440
<v Speaker 2>on the roster for only twenty six spots.

256
00:11:55.519 --> 00:11:56.559
<v Speaker 3>Kirsten, we appreciate it.

257
00:11:56.600 --> 00:11:57.559
<v Speaker 10>We'll check you with you after the game.

<v Speaker 4>gone through over these last ten to fifteen days. How

296

<v Speaker 4>he's doing. I know you guys have talked a lot

297

<v Speaker 4>but really half is back in this moment and really

301
00:14:08.519 --> 00:14:09.080
<v Speaker 4>true scare.

00:14:10.600 --> 00:14:15.159
<v Speaker 11>I've seen it firsthand. First off, it's obviously great to

303
00:14:15.159 --> 00:14:21.120
<v Speaker 11>have Freddie back, and judging by that press conference, he

304
00:14:21.240 --> 00:14:25.000
<v Speaker 11>is certainly he has a heavy heart. I think there's

305
00:14:25.039 --> 00:14:28.080
<v Speaker 11>a lot of relief in the sense of where Max

306
00:14:28.200 --> 00:14:31.159
<v Speaker 11>is at right now, being back at home. He's back

307
00:14:31.240 --> 00:14:32.919
<v Speaker 11>to being able to do what he loves to do,

308
00:14:32.960 --> 00:14:37.360
<v Speaker 11>and that's played baseball. Really excited to see this Max

309
00:14:37.399 --> 00:14:42.360
<v Speaker 11>Strong shirt in my locker. And to your point about

310
00:14:42.440 --> 00:14:45.080
<v Speaker 11>you know the support of his teammates and coaches. Everyone's

311
00:14:45.120 --> 00:14:48.039
<v Speaker 11>wearing it, and it's just good to have him back.

312
00:14:48.159 --> 00:14:50.600
<v Speaker 11>And I do think that there is a little bit of,

313
00:14:51.840 --> 00:14:54.639
<v Speaker 11>you know, therapy part of it as far as being

314
00:14:54.720 --> 00:14:59.360
<v Speaker 11>here in a little diversion from his family reality, just

315
00:14:59.360 --> 00:15:00.000
<v Speaker 11>getting back.

316
00:14:59.840 --> 00:15:02.399
<v Speaker 4>To playing baseball, kind of giving that separation. When you

317
00:15:02.440 --> 00:15:05.080
<v Speaker 4>think about just this matchup, obviously we saw what happened

318
00:15:05.080 --> 00:15:07.639
<v Speaker 4>in Philadelphia. How are you hoping to whether it's right

319
00:15:07.679 --> 00:15:10.279
<v Speaker 4>the wrongs or just get that going, especially against this

320
00:15:10.360 --> 00:15:11.320
<v Speaker 4>team here in Los.

321
00:15:11.120 --> 00:15:14.960
<v Speaker 11>Angeles good ball club, certainly, as we know that they

322
00:15:14.960 --> 00:15:18.159
<v Speaker 11>got the best of us in Philly. I think, you know,

323
00:15:18.240 --> 00:15:21.879
<v Speaker 11>for us tonight, it's you know, Glass goes out there

324
00:15:21.919 --> 00:15:24.639
<v Speaker 11>and pitch us well and puts us in a good

325
00:15:24.639 --> 00:15:27.759
<v Speaker 11>spot and get some timely hits. Nola's been a thorn

326
00:15:27.799 --> 00:15:31.879
<v Speaker 11>in our side, always admired, you know, him as a competitor.

327
00:15:32.679 --> 00:15:34.919
<v Speaker 11>So it's not going to be easy, but you know,

328
00:15:35.000 --> 00:15:37.360
<v Speaker 11>coming off a serious win, I feel good about this series.

329
00:15:37.679 --> 00:15:38.000
<v Speaker 9>All right.

00:16:44.639 --> 00:16:47.799
<v Speaker 9>This is Dodger insider David Basse.

353
00:16:48.200 --> 00:16:50.279
<v Speaker 3>All right, DV. Certainly an emotional day.

354
00:16:50.320 --> 00:16:52.519
<v Speaker 2>The return of Freddie Freeman and he had a chance

355
00:16:52.600 --> 00:16:53.759
<v Speaker 2>to talk to the media earlier.

356
00:16:54.159 --> 00:16:57.200
<v Speaker 12>Yeah, an emotional Freddie Freeman. And we saw as you

357
00:16:57.360 --> 00:17:01.200
<v Speaker 12>saw Freddie wearing the Max straw T shirt and on

358
00:17:01.240 --> 00:17:04.720
<v Speaker 12>the back it had number five and Freeman written across it.

359
00:17:04.920 --> 00:17:09.000
<v Speaker 12>That was made up by somebody inside the clubhouse. The players,

360
00:17:09.039 --> 00:17:12.359
<v Speaker 12>the coaches, the staff all wearing that in support a

361
00:17:12.519 --> 00:17:16.160
<v Speaker 12>Max Freeman. And here's part of what Freddie Freeman said.

362
00:17:16.160 --> 00:17:18.640
<v Speaker 12>And Freddie went on for about thirty five minutes as

363
00:17:18.680 --> 00:17:22.440
<v Speaker 12>Freddy does an open book, just spilling his emotions and

364
00:17:22.559 --> 00:17:26.519
<v Speaker 12>the timeline of everything that he, Chelsea and Max Freeman

365
00:17:26.599 --> 00:17:27.359
<v Speaker 12>had to deal with.

366
00:17:28.000 --> 00:17:29.759
<v Speaker 13>The wins that we've been getting the last three days

367
00:17:29.799 --> 00:17:33.640
<v Speaker 13>have helped me mentally with my family, Chelsea saying, so,

368
00:17:33.920 --> 00:17:36.400
<v Speaker 13>I think that's why I'm able to be here, because

369
00:17:36.480 --> 00:17:43.079
<v Speaker 13>of knowing Max is going to be okay. So maybe

370
00:17:43.119 --> 00:17:45.039
<v Speaker 13>when I step on through those lines, I can focus

371
00:17:45.079 --> 00:17:47.839
<v Speaker 13>for three hours. I think I can. I've been through

372
00:17:47.839 --> 00:17:50.680
<v Speaker 13>a lot in my life. I can compartment lives pretty good.

373
00:17:51.720 --> 00:17:55.079
<v Speaker 13>Knowing your son is at home, okay. I think that

374
00:17:55.119 --> 00:17:55.920
<v Speaker 13>will help.

375
00:17:56.799 --> 00:17:57.319
<v Speaker 3>No doubt.

376
00:17:57.440 --> 00:17:59.799
<v Speaker 12>And here at the stadium, I'm sure it's going to

377
00:17:59.799 --> 00:18:03.079
<v Speaker 12>be emotional. When Freddy steps to the plate. But everybody

378
00:18:03.119 --> 00:18:06.559
<v Speaker 12>is happy to see Freddy Freeman back because that means

379
00:18:06.759 --> 00:18:09.079
<v Speaker 12>Max Freeman is on the way back too.

380
00:18:09.440 --> 00:18:11.839
<v Speaker 2>No doubt about a great news to have both at

381
00:18:12.079 --> 00:18:14.559
<v Speaker 2>Max at home and Freddy at the ballpark. Team is

382
00:18:14.599 --> 00:18:16.519
<v Speaker 2>driven by Ford. If there's one thing we like, his

383
00:18:16.680 --> 00:18:19.079
<v Speaker 2>choices by yours of the Ford. F one to fifty

384
00:18:19.119 --> 00:18:22.160
<v Speaker 2>gas hybrid or all electric tough This mark can only

385
00:18:22.160 --> 00:18:25.119
<v Speaker 2>be called F one fifty. Freddie Freeman's back, and the

386
00:18:25.160 --> 00:18:27.640
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers' health wise looks like they're going to start getting

387
00:18:27.680 --> 00:18:30.240
<v Speaker 2>guys trickling back in How far away is Mookie Bets TV?

388
00:18:30.720 --> 00:18:34.559
<v Speaker 12>He is extremely close. We saw him here taking ground balls.

389
00:18:34.599 --> 00:18:37.720
<v Speaker 12>He's going to be part of a simulated game on Thursday.

390
00:18:38.119 --> 00:18:40.119
<v Speaker 12>And I had a chance to catch up with Mookie

391
00:18:40.119 --> 00:18:43.200
<v Speaker 12>Betts after he was done with his pregame work about

392
00:18:43.200 --> 00:18:47.160
<v Speaker 12>the possibility he may not be the Dodgers shortstop when

393
00:18:47.200 --> 00:18:47.880
<v Speaker 12>he returns.

394
00:18:48.359 --> 00:18:48.759
<v Speaker 6>I don't know.

395
00:18:48.920 --> 00:18:51.279
<v Speaker 3>I mean I haven't talked to talk about it.

396
00:18:51.480 --> 00:18:53.519
<v Speaker 14>I mean, there's a lot of guys that can play

397
00:18:53.559 --> 00:18:57.160
<v Speaker 14>short here, so you know, if that's not in the cars,

398
00:18:57.200 --> 00:18:57.720
<v Speaker 14>then you.

399
00:18:57.680 --> 00:18:59.039
<v Speaker 3>Know that's cool.

400
00:18:59.079 --> 00:19:01.079
<v Speaker 14>I'm just gonna that's the best position for me. I

401
00:19:01.079 --> 00:19:04.119
<v Speaker 14>can go from there anywhere else. So I just prepare

402
00:19:04.200 --> 00:19:06.000
<v Speaker 14>and wherever I land is where I land.

403
00:19:06.440 --> 00:19:09.119
<v Speaker 12>And just talking to people around the Dodgers tim it's

404
00:19:09.119 --> 00:19:12.079
<v Speaker 12>not a foregone conclusion that Mookie Bets won't be the

405
00:19:12.119 --> 00:19:15.079
<v Speaker 12>shortstop when he comes back. He's had a lot of

406
00:19:15.119 --> 00:19:18.640
<v Speaker 12>time to work on a better throw during this injury

407
00:19:18.680 --> 00:19:22.079
<v Speaker 12>period of time, and I wouldn't rule out the fact

408
00:19:22.240 --> 00:19:26.640
<v Speaker 12>Mookie Bets comes back to play shortstop. But also the

409
00:19:26.759 --> 00:19:30.759
<v Speaker 12>Dodgers will use Miguel Rojas as well there. So the

410
00:19:30.839 --> 00:19:33.319
<v Speaker 12>Dodgers want to see what they still have in Mookie

411
00:19:33.359 --> 00:19:37.039
<v Speaker 12>Bets at shortstop. But if he's not the Dodgers shortstop,

412
00:19:37.160 --> 00:19:39.920
<v Speaker 12>if Gavin Lux continues to hit the way he has

413
00:19:39.960 --> 00:19:42.759
<v Speaker 12>been hitting since the All Star Break, the only other

414
00:19:42.839 --> 00:19:45.279
<v Speaker 12>position for Mookie Betts is in right field.

415
00:19:45.960 --> 00:19:47.119
<v Speaker 3>I no doubt about it. Dave.

416
00:19:47.279 --> 00:19:49.640
<v Speaker 2>This is a big matchup against Philadelphia. We talked a

417
00:19:49.640 --> 00:19:52.440
<v Speaker 2>couple weeks ago when they were in Philadelphia and the

418
00:19:52.480 --> 00:19:55.359
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers got swept. It was in a three game series,

419
00:19:55.400 --> 00:19:57.039
<v Speaker 2>full of emotion in Philadelphia.

420
00:19:57.160 --> 00:19:59.200
<v Speaker 3>Was rocking there as this is big park.

421
00:19:59.640 --> 00:20:02.000
<v Speaker 2>This two teams a little different than that matchup, just

422
00:20:02.039 --> 00:20:03.119
<v Speaker 2>two and a half three weeks ago.

423
00:20:03.400 --> 00:20:05.799
<v Speaker 12>Yeah, the Phillies are slumping in a big way. The

424
00:20:05.880 --> 00:20:08.119
<v Speaker 12>Dodgers are only a game and a half back of

425
00:20:08.200 --> 00:20:11.880
<v Speaker 12>Philadelphia for the best record in the National League. But

426
00:20:12.039 --> 00:20:15.640
<v Speaker 12>talking to Andrew Freeman earlier today, he said he's not

427
00:20:15.720 --> 00:20:18.200
<v Speaker 12>putting a lot of stock in this series because the

428
00:20:18.240 --> 00:20:22.200
<v Speaker 12>Dodgers are still that whole. The way the Dodgers lineup

429
00:20:22.240 --> 00:20:24.880
<v Speaker 12>looks tonight is not the way it would look in

430
00:20:24.920 --> 00:20:29.519
<v Speaker 12>an October series against Philadelphia. We're all excited about the

431
00:20:29.680 --> 00:20:32.200
<v Speaker 12>two best teams in the National League playing each other

432
00:20:32.240 --> 00:20:36.720
<v Speaker 12>here at Dodgers Stadium, But just like in Philadelphia, the pitchers,

433
00:20:36.759 --> 00:20:39.359
<v Speaker 12>the Dodgers through out there, the players they had out

434
00:20:39.400 --> 00:20:42.200
<v Speaker 12>there are not the same players they are going to

435
00:20:42.279 --> 00:20:44.680
<v Speaker 12>have even on their next road trip.

436
00:20:44.440 --> 00:20:45.079
<v Speaker 6>In a week.

437
00:20:45.480 --> 00:20:49.680
<v Speaker 12>So enjoy this series, have fun with this series, but

438
00:20:49.799 --> 00:20:51.839
<v Speaker 12>don't put a lot of stock in this series.

439
00:20:52.119 --> 00:20:54.440
<v Speaker 2>This roster is gonna look different, especially in the bullpen

440
00:20:54.559 --> 00:20:57.240
<v Speaker 2>dv right because they're gonna start getting back. Maybe Graderol

441
00:20:57.359 --> 00:21:01.039
<v Speaker 2>Brazier grow three new arms to add to the bullpen.

442
00:21:01.079 --> 00:21:05.279
<v Speaker 12>More importantly, fresh arms, right tim, because the aging veterans

443
00:21:05.359 --> 00:21:08.720
<v Speaker 12>and Daniel Hudson, Blake trin In and even Alex Vessia's

444
00:21:08.759 --> 00:21:11.440
<v Speaker 12>velosity has dipped here in the last week or so.

445
00:21:11.960 --> 00:21:15.200
<v Speaker 12>They need a kind of a breather so for them

446
00:21:15.240 --> 00:21:19.319
<v Speaker 12>to get back those pitchers. Graderol had a breakout season

447
00:21:19.440 --> 00:21:23.160
<v Speaker 12>last year and has not thrown one single pitch this year.

448
00:21:23.359 --> 00:21:26.920
<v Speaker 12>To get him back is huge for this bullpen, along

449
00:21:26.960 --> 00:21:31.160
<v Speaker 12>with Michael Kopek and Evan Phillips getting back on track.

450
00:21:31.319 --> 00:21:35.119
<v Speaker 12>Those are power arms coming out of the bullpen, and

524

<v Speaker 1>broadcaster and World Series champion Dodger Rick Monday.

525
00:25:38.519 --> 00:25:41.200
<v Speaker 12>Rick, It's great to be back with you, but especially

526
00:25:41.279 --> 00:25:43.160
<v Speaker 12>great to be back at Dodgers Stadium.

527
00:25:43.279 --> 00:25:46.720
<v Speaker 8>Well, it always is and I think the Dodgers the

528
00:25:46.799 --> 00:25:49.839
<v Speaker 8>home remedy. Let's go with that quote unquote, the home

529
00:25:49.880 --> 00:25:52.119
<v Speaker 8>remedy is to come back home. Because the Dodgers did

530
00:25:52.160 --> 00:25:54.119
<v Speaker 8>not start up this road trip well at all that

531
00:25:54.200 --> 00:25:56.680
<v Speaker 8>they just completed. They won two of the last three

532
00:25:56.720 --> 00:25:59.119
<v Speaker 8>that was in Oakland against the A's, and don't discount

533
00:25:59.119 --> 00:26:01.720
<v Speaker 8>the factors, say, well, it was the Oakland A's last

534
00:26:01.720 --> 00:26:04.440
<v Speaker 8>place in the Western Division. The A's since a certain

535
00:26:04.519 --> 00:26:07.160
<v Speaker 8>date in July had played some of the best baseball

536
00:26:07.319 --> 00:26:10.599
<v Speaker 8>in Major League Baseball itself. And I've always said this

537
00:26:10.759 --> 00:26:13.119
<v Speaker 8>is that the good teams, when you go into a town,

538
00:26:13.880 --> 00:26:16.680
<v Speaker 8>they're waiting for you, and they understand that. The Dodgers

539
00:26:16.680 --> 00:26:19.319
<v Speaker 8>come in first place in the Western Division the National League,

540
00:26:19.759 --> 00:26:21.799
<v Speaker 8>and the first game of that series, and really all

541
00:26:21.839 --> 00:26:24.279
<v Speaker 8>throughout that series too, is that the A's were up

542
00:26:24.319 --> 00:26:27.000
<v Speaker 8>to the task. They played as well as you can

543
00:26:27.039 --> 00:26:27.799
<v Speaker 8>possibly play.

544
00:26:28.160 --> 00:26:31.240
<v Speaker 12>Rick, it feels like there's more optimism around the Dodgers

545
00:26:31.279 --> 00:26:33.759
<v Speaker 12>for a few different reasons. Not only winning two out

546
00:26:33.759 --> 00:26:36.880
<v Speaker 12>of three in Oakland, but how about yesterday the bullpen

547
00:26:37.079 --> 00:26:39.200
<v Speaker 12>allowing just one hit. I heard you and Tim never

548
00:26:39.319 --> 00:26:39.960
<v Speaker 12>talking about that.

549
00:26:40.160 --> 00:26:42.279
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, the bullpen did a good job. If you look

550
00:26:42.279 --> 00:26:44.359
<v Speaker 8>at the middle game of that series, Dodgers ran away

551
00:26:44.400 --> 00:26:46.039
<v Speaker 8>with it. But they ran away in the ninth any

552
00:26:46.079 --> 00:26:49.519
<v Speaker 8>in particular, by stringing some bass hits together. I thought

553
00:26:49.519 --> 00:26:53.440
<v Speaker 8>there was a more urgent message from one batter to

554
00:26:53.480 --> 00:26:56.799
<v Speaker 8>the other about making contact. I thought that they were

555
00:26:56.839 --> 00:27:00.279
<v Speaker 8>much more selective, because if you look at how the

556
00:27:00.319 --> 00:27:04.319
<v Speaker 8>Dodgers entered that last game, that being yesterday, in that series,

557
00:27:04.880 --> 00:27:08.960
<v Speaker 8>the Dodgers had struck out eighty eight times in the

558
00:27:09.000 --> 00:27:12.119
<v Speaker 8>first number of games on that road trip. And I

559
00:27:12.119 --> 00:27:14.720
<v Speaker 8>mean that comes down to, you know, if you add

560
00:27:14.720 --> 00:27:17.839
<v Speaker 8>the fact that they struck out eleven times yesterday, which

561
00:27:17.920 --> 00:27:21.039
<v Speaker 8>was actually a little bit less number. I mean, you're

562
00:27:21.079 --> 00:27:24.960
<v Speaker 8>looking at thirty three innings on this last road trip,

563
00:27:25.079 --> 00:27:27.720
<v Speaker 8>a total of thirty three innings that there was nothing

564
00:27:27.759 --> 00:27:28.839
<v Speaker 8>but strikeouts.

565
00:27:29.279 --> 00:27:32.079
<v Speaker 12>Good news Freddy Freeman is back to help us. Great

566
00:27:32.359 --> 00:27:34.599
<v Speaker 12>even better news that his son is on the way

567
00:27:34.640 --> 00:27:35.240
<v Speaker 12>back to recome.

568
00:27:35.359 --> 00:27:38.039
<v Speaker 8>Absolutely absolutely, And I know that you were there with

569
00:27:38.079 --> 00:27:40.920
<v Speaker 8>the media when Freddy talked to the media for a

570
00:27:40.960 --> 00:27:43.839
<v Speaker 8>considerable period of time and he opened up his heart.

571
00:27:44.359 --> 00:27:46.240
<v Speaker 8>And the nice thing is and one of the things

572
00:27:46.240 --> 00:27:49.039
<v Speaker 8>we'll talk about when he walked into the locker room

573
00:27:49.079 --> 00:27:54.000
<v Speaker 8>today on every locker. On the front it said Maximus

574
00:27:54.000 --> 00:27:56.759
<v Speaker 8>and on the back it was Freeman number five. Freeman

575
00:27:56.839 --> 00:27:59.680
<v Speaker 8>said he broke into tears when he saw that because

576
00:27:59.759 --> 00:28:03.720
<v Speaker 8>this is a very supportive organization. It's a very supportive

577
00:28:03.799 --> 00:28:06.640
<v Speaker 8>team that he is part of, and I think also

578
00:28:06.680 --> 00:28:09.079
<v Speaker 8>the community. I think it's going to be something to

579
00:28:09.119 --> 00:28:11.720
<v Speaker 8>look at the first a bat that Freddie Freeman goes

580
00:28:11.759 --> 00:28:13.759
<v Speaker 8>to home Plate tonight. I think it's going to be

581
00:28:13.799 --> 00:28:15.680
<v Speaker 8>an emotional thing and I believe they will turn off

582
00:28:15.680 --> 00:28:17.799
<v Speaker 8>the pitchclock because I think there's going to be a

583
00:28:17.839 --> 00:28:20.799
<v Speaker 8>thunderous roar for Freddie. In his statement from the fans

584
00:28:20.839 --> 00:28:23.759
<v Speaker 8>here that they're just tickled to death, a lot of

585
00:28:23.799 --> 00:28:28.000
<v Speaker 8>answers to prayers and good thoughts that their family is

586
00:28:28.000 --> 00:28:30.559
<v Speaker 8>is recovering now. Max is on the road to recovery.

587
00:28:30.640 --> 00:28:32.920
<v Speaker 8>Is going to take a while, but he's out of danger.

588
00:28:33.000 --> 00:28:37.119
<v Speaker 8>And for every parent, there's nothing worse than having your

589
00:28:37.240 --> 00:28:39.599
<v Speaker 8>child in a helpless situation, no.

590
00:28:39.440 --> 00:28:41.960
<v Speaker 12>Doubt, And that's a great sign that Freddie's here because

591
00:28:41.960 --> 00:28:44.519
<v Speaker 12>that means Maximus is on his way back.

592
00:28:44.599 --> 00:28:45.200
<v Speaker 6>Absolutely.

593
00:28:45.359 --> 00:28:47.160
<v Speaker 8>Let me ask you something on a lighter side, much

594
00:28:47.240 --> 00:28:51.960
<v Speaker 8>lighter side, does the name Harold Arlen register at all

595
00:28:52.039 --> 00:28:56.839
<v Speaker 8>to you. No, no, no, no, well he could have

596
00:28:56.839 --> 00:29:00.880
<v Speaker 8>gone on honeymoon. I mentioned that name with us on

597
00:29:00.920 --> 00:29:04.480
<v Speaker 8>the radio side, because it was on this date that

598
00:29:04.640 --> 00:29:09.839
<v Speaker 8>Harold Arlin, a staff announcer for KDKA and Pittsburgh on

599
00:29:09.880 --> 00:29:13.559
<v Speaker 8>their radio station nineteen twenty one, was the first ever

600
00:29:13.640 --> 00:29:17.839
<v Speaker 8>broadcast of a Major League baseball game. We should all

601
00:29:17.880 --> 00:29:21.559

00:31:24.480 --> 00:31:25.559
<v Speaker 12>the time, appreciated.

646
00:31:25.920 --> 00:31:27.279
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I guess I didn't have a choice.

647
00:31:27.279 --> 00:31:30.039
<v Speaker 12>All right, Well, I helped you out with your pregame

648
00:31:30.119 --> 00:31:32.960
<v Speaker 12>drills while Dino Ebol was meeting with the media, and

649
00:31:33.000 --> 00:31:34.279
<v Speaker 12>you're helping me out right now.

650
00:31:34.960 --> 00:31:38.519
<v Speaker 16>Uh yeah, Now, I understand why you're a pro prilayer

651
00:31:38.559 --> 00:31:41.119
<v Speaker 16>and you don't really love to criticize players, because I

652
00:31:41.119 --> 00:31:43.640
<v Speaker 16>can see that you weren't very good at this game.

653
00:31:43.720 --> 00:31:46.279
<v Speaker 6>So I appreciate you helping me out and all and

654
00:31:46.480 --> 00:31:47.480
<v Speaker 6>h here we are now.

655
00:31:47.640 --> 00:31:50.200
<v Speaker 12>I took it for granted. I was across from a

656
00:31:50.279 --> 00:31:54.200
<v Speaker 12>really great defender, maybe the best versatile defensive player in

657
00:31:54.279 --> 00:31:57.519
<v Speaker 12>Major League Baseball, and I was going too light on

658
00:31:58.079 --> 00:31:59.680
<v Speaker 12>that baseball.

659
00:31:59.200 --> 00:31:59.799
<v Speaker 6>That you use.

660
00:32:00.279 --> 00:32:03.079
<v Speaker 16>It's okay, people, Uh, this is radio. People can't really

661
00:32:03.079 --> 00:32:05.000
<v Speaker 16>see what happens. So let's get to business.

662
00:32:05.119 --> 00:32:05.720
<v Speaker 6>Okay, key K.

663
00:32:06.200 --> 00:32:09.039
<v Speaker 12>Dave Roberts said, the other day, you're playing your best baseball.

664
00:32:09.519 --> 00:32:11.319
<v Speaker 12>Do you feel like you're starting to hit your stride

665
00:32:11.319 --> 00:32:12.039
<v Speaker 12>at the right time.

666
00:32:12.640 --> 00:32:17.559
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I'm definitely feeling better to play. Uh, you know.

667
00:32:18.480 --> 00:32:20.640
<v Speaker 16>Getting this stretch of games in a row, and uh,

668
00:32:21.039 --> 00:32:23.400
<v Speaker 16>this has definitely helped to get into a little bit

669
00:32:23.440 --> 00:32:27.160
<v Speaker 16>of rhythm here. You know, of course, a roster is

670
00:32:27.319 --> 00:32:29.920
<v Speaker 16>pretty beaten down right now and we're not playing great baseball,

671
00:32:29.960 --> 00:32:34.000
<v Speaker 16>so uh, you know, I recognized right away that I

672
00:32:34.039 --> 00:32:35.720
<v Speaker 16>was gonna you know, there was not a lot of

673
00:32:35.720 --> 00:32:38.200
<v Speaker 16>people to to to cover third base, so I was

674
00:32:38.240 --> 00:32:40.440
<v Speaker 16>gonna get a pretty good chance to play. And I

675
00:32:40.519 --> 00:32:42.799
<v Speaker 16>realized that it was the right time to rise up

676
00:32:42.839 --> 00:32:45.799
<v Speaker 16>to the occasion. And uh, you know, I'm playing probably

677
00:32:45.799 --> 00:32:48.880
<v Speaker 16>the best best two three week stretch of games that

678
00:32:48.920 --> 00:32:50.960
<v Speaker 16>I played this year, and I'm not trying to really

679
00:32:50.960 --> 00:32:53.039
<v Speaker 16>think too much about it. I'm just trying to you know,

680
00:32:53.119 --> 00:32:55.160
<v Speaker 16>go out there and keep having fun playing baseball and

681
00:32:55.279 --> 00:32:56.440
<v Speaker 16>uh doing my part.

682
00:32:56.680 --> 00:32:58.680
<v Speaker 12>Do you feel like the pitching, I know, we we

683
00:32:58.759 --> 00:33:01.519
<v Speaker 12>have fun with that, Like that's part of having fun

684
00:33:01.559 --> 00:33:04.359
<v Speaker 12>and just making you play loose and just play the game.

685
00:33:04.920 --> 00:33:09.240
<v Speaker 6>Ah, Well, I guess, but not really.

686
00:33:09.839 --> 00:33:12.519
<v Speaker 16>I just, uh, you know, the last two times, the

687
00:33:12.519 --> 00:33:14.240
<v Speaker 16>two times I pitched this year, I've been in a

688
00:33:14.240 --> 00:33:16.200
<v Speaker 16>little bit of an easier situation than.

689
00:33:17.519 --> 00:33:19.880
<v Speaker 6>The only time I had pitched before in my career.

690
00:33:20.000 --> 00:33:22.480
<v Speaker 16>So so it's easy to have fun when it's not

691
00:33:22.519 --> 00:33:25.119
<v Speaker 16>a tide game and you're on the bump not really

692
00:33:25.160 --> 00:33:28.039
<v Speaker 16>knowing what the heck you're doing. But uh, but yeah,

693
00:33:28.079 --> 00:33:31.240
<v Speaker 16>I know, just it's just trying to you know, trying

694
00:33:31.240 --> 00:33:33.720
<v Speaker 16>to enjoy the little things and uh, you know, trying

695
00:33:33.720 --> 00:33:38.039
<v Speaker 16>to cherish each each moment. It's been a it's been

696
00:33:38.039 --> 00:33:40.240
<v Speaker 16>a grind of a season for me. Offensively, I feel

697
00:33:40.279 --> 00:33:42.920
<v Speaker 16>like defensively, I'd gotten back to to being the player

698
00:33:42.920 --> 00:33:44.480
<v Speaker 16>that I've been throughout my career.

699
00:33:45.119 --> 00:33:46.559
<v Speaker 6>I feel like last year was a little.

700
00:33:46.319 --> 00:33:49.839
<v Speaker 16>Bit of an outlier, uh, especially because of you know,

701
00:33:49.839 --> 00:33:52.160
<v Speaker 16>I don't like to play excuses, but the reality was

702
00:33:52.200 --> 00:33:55.279
<v Speaker 16>that I was hurt and I wasn't really understanding why

703
00:33:55.480 --> 00:33:58.240
<v Speaker 16>I was struggling defensively. But uh, you know, at least

704
00:33:58.240 --> 00:34:00.279
<v Speaker 16>this year i've been I've been doing you know, what

705
00:34:00.319 --> 00:34:03.920
<v Speaker 16>I usually do defensively everywhere, and uh, you know, obviously

706
00:34:04.039 --> 00:34:07.359
<v Speaker 16>it was about performing at the plate and you know,

707
00:34:07.400 --> 00:34:11.599
<v Speaker 16>the last two weeks have been have been better, so uh,

708
00:34:11.760 --> 00:34:13.960
<v Speaker 16>you know, hopefully we can build off that and uh,

709
00:34:14.280 --> 00:34:16.519
<v Speaker 16>you know, keep it going so that Uh, I'm locked

710
00:34:16.559 --> 00:34:18.440
<v Speaker 16>in when when the real fun starts.

711
00:34:18.800 --> 00:34:21.039
<v Speaker 12>Kay, I love the way you play the game, but

712
00:34:21.079 --> 00:34:23.599
<v Speaker 12>I also love what you bring in the clubhouse. And

713
00:34:23.639 --> 00:34:26.440
<v Speaker 12>I know everybody talks about you know, your great personality,

714
00:34:26.440 --> 00:34:29.519
<v Speaker 12>your joyful personality. But it feels like at this point

715
00:34:29.599 --> 00:34:32.719
<v Speaker 12>in time of the season, you bring the edge and

716
00:34:32.960 --> 00:34:35.400
<v Speaker 12>urgency this team needs. Do you feel that Do you

717
00:34:35.440 --> 00:34:37.239
<v Speaker 12>feel like this team needs a little bit more of that?

718
00:34:37.760 --> 00:34:37.880
<v Speaker 6>Uh?

719
00:34:38.239 --> 00:34:40.840
<v Speaker 16>I mean, yeah, I believe we need urgency, We need

720
00:34:40.840 --> 00:34:43.679
<v Speaker 16>to we need edge. It's easy, you know, when we

721
00:34:43.760 --> 00:34:46.079
<v Speaker 16>look at the our last month or so of baseball,

722
00:34:46.400 --> 00:34:49.360
<v Speaker 16>we've been pretty inconsistent. We've been like you know, as

723
00:34:49.360 --> 00:34:51.559
<v Speaker 16>a team, we've been up and down, and and I

724
00:34:51.559 --> 00:34:54.119
<v Speaker 16>feel like it's easy for us to, you know, forget

725
00:34:54.119 --> 00:34:57.320
<v Speaker 16>who we are as a team and and and forget

726
00:34:57.360 --> 00:35:00.760
<v Speaker 16>that we're right right among the top of best teams

727
00:35:00.760 --> 00:35:03.599
<v Speaker 16>in the league. And I think sometimes we forget to

728
00:35:03.599 --> 00:35:07.519
<v Speaker 16>show that on the field. And you know, I think

729
00:35:07.960 --> 00:35:11.400
<v Speaker 16>obviously getting close closer to to October and all that

730
00:35:12.880 --> 00:35:15.559
<v Speaker 16>bring some some sense of urgency in me as well.

731
00:35:15.639 --> 00:35:18.079
<v Speaker 16>But I think the fact that my season has been

732
00:35:19.679 --> 00:35:23.320
<v Speaker 16>such a grind and filled with struggles that seeing all

733
00:35:23.360 --> 00:35:26.000
<v Speaker 16>the injuries happen, it was kind of a wake up

734
00:35:26.000 --> 00:35:27.480
<v Speaker 16>call for me and it was.

735
00:35:27.440 --> 00:35:28.360
<v Speaker 6>Time to get going.

736
00:35:28.400 --> 00:35:32.199
<v Speaker 16>Otherwise, you know, uh, opportunities and my career is gonna

737
00:35:32.239 --> 00:35:35.920
<v Speaker 16>you know, get shortened out. But that's something that's out

738
00:35:35.920 --> 00:35:37.519
<v Speaker 16>of their control and you try not to think about it.

739
00:35:37.519 --> 00:35:40.280
<v Speaker 16>But definitely, I it helped me open my eyes and

740
00:35:40.559 --> 00:35:43.440
<v Speaker 16>bring some sense of urgency on the field and when

741
00:35:43.480 --> 00:35:45.519
<v Speaker 16>I playing, so hopefully I can keep it going.

742
00:35:45.880 --> 00:35:48.400
<v Speaker 12>Key K, great to catch up with you. City of

804
00:38:43.159 --> 00:38:46.639
<v Speaker 7>Right, TC Dodgers in Phillies, Game one fast approaching here

805
00:38:46.760 --> 00:38:51.039
<v Speaker 7>at Dodgers Stadium and Rick Monday. Our previous segment we

806
00:38:51.079 --> 00:38:54.400
<v Speaker 7>talked about the biggest news in Dodger Nation is the

807
00:38:54.440 --> 00:38:57.840
<v Speaker 7>return of Freddy Freeman thanks to the improving health of

808
00:38:58.000 --> 00:39:01.440
<v Speaker 7>his young son Maximus. He and Fred and Chelsea elated

809
00:39:01.440 --> 00:39:05.199
<v Speaker 7>at that news. Obviously, after too much time in the ICU,

810
00:39:05.559 --> 00:39:07.639
<v Speaker 7>Max is on the road to recovery. Now, Freddy says

811
00:39:08.039 --> 00:39:08.679
<v Speaker 7>his swing.

812
00:39:08.480 --> 00:39:10.000
<v Speaker 3>Has felt good the past couple of days.

813
00:39:10.039 --> 00:39:13.039
<v Speaker 7>We'll see how it works against the curve ball of

814
00:39:13.159 --> 00:39:14.039
<v Speaker 7>one Aaron Nola.

815
00:39:14.079 --> 00:39:14.719
<v Speaker 6>Tonight's Fildalp.

816
00:39:14.800 --> 00:39:17.079
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, there's no question about it. And we'll talk more

817
00:39:17.079 --> 00:39:19.440
<v Speaker 8>and more about Freddy Freeman and his family as the

818
00:39:19.480 --> 00:39:23.079
<v Speaker 8>game continues. For Tyler Glass, now you start to look

819
00:39:23.079 --> 00:39:25.119
<v Speaker 8>at Glass now now his third start off the injured

820
00:39:25.159 --> 00:39:28.599
<v Speaker 8>list and the lower back stiffness. He pitched very well

821
00:39:28.679 --> 00:39:31.119
<v Speaker 8>on Tuesday. Yes, he gave up three runs, but he

822
00:39:31.159 --> 00:39:34.079
<v Speaker 8>went seven innings. He wound up having a no decision

823
00:39:34.119 --> 00:39:35.920
<v Speaker 8>because the book Ben could not hold the lead at

824
00:39:35.920 --> 00:39:38.760
<v Speaker 8>that particular time, but he pitched well enough to get

825
00:39:38.800 --> 00:39:40.599
<v Speaker 8>the victory. And then you look at the flip side

826
00:39:40.599 --> 00:39:42.599
<v Speaker 8>of the coin. The Dodgers have to figure out how

827
00:39:42.639 --> 00:39:44.920
<v Speaker 8>to get to Aaron Nola, in particular with that good

828
00:39:44.960 --> 00:39:47.760
<v Speaker 8>curve ball that he has. Dodgers have seen him plenty

829
00:39:47.760 --> 00:39:50.920
<v Speaker 8>of times in the past. But for Nola, first of all,

830
00:39:51.000 --> 00:39:53.920
<v Speaker 8>he does not walk a great number of batters one

831
00:39:54.000 --> 00:39:55.960
<v Speaker 8>hundred and thirty six in the third innings, He's walked

832
00:39:55.960 --> 00:39:58.519
<v Speaker 8>only thirty four. He struck out almost a batter per

833
00:39:58.559 --> 00:40:01.039
<v Speaker 8>inning if you look at the overall score things. I

834
00:40:01.039 --> 00:40:03.760
<v Speaker 8>think the Dodgers the last two games, they put their

835
00:40:03.800 --> 00:40:06.039
<v Speaker 8>theory back into play, keeping the line moving and not

836
00:40:06.119 --> 00:40:07.599
<v Speaker 8>trying to hit the ball out of the ballpark all

837
00:40:07.599 --> 00:40:09.920
<v Speaker 8>the time. It looked like they were going more contact

838
00:40:09.920 --> 00:40:10.800
<v Speaker 8>than you needed tonight.

839
00:40:11.079 --> 00:40:13.760
<v Speaker 7>I don't care how poorly these two teams are playing

840
00:40:13.800 --> 00:40:16.280
<v Speaker 7>coming into this series. It's a heavyweight bout the top

841
00:40:16.280 --> 00:40:18.400
<v Speaker 7>two teams in the National League. The Dodgers only one

842
00:40:18.440 --> 00:40:20.559
<v Speaker 7>and a half back of the Phillies entering this three

843
00:40:20.599 --> 00:40:21.400
<v Speaker 7>game set.

844
00:40:21.639 --> 00:40:24.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Dodgers and Philly is getting ready to square off.

845
00:40:24.360 --> 00:40:26.239
<v Speaker 2>The Dodgers start the night with a four and a

846
00:40:26.320 --> 00:40:30.119
<v Speaker 2>half game lead in the division over both the Diamondbacks

847
00:40:30.159 --> 00:40:33.360
<v Speaker 2>and the Padres. But look out for those pesky Giants.

848
00:40:33.639 --> 00:40:35.760
<v Speaker 2>They have now won two in a row, eight of

849
00:40:35.800 --> 00:40:38.679
<v Speaker 2>their last ten, and they're only nine games back in.

850
00:40:38.679 --> 00:40:39.800
<v Speaker 3>The NL West.

851
00:40:39.920 --> 00:40:43.920
<v Speaker 2>It's August fifth, but the Dodgers first place in the

852
00:40:44.039 --> 00:40:47.360
<v Speaker 2>NL West, battling it out with the other top team

853
00:40:47.400 --> 00:40:51.039
<v Speaker 2>in the National League, the Philadelphia Phillies. Tyler Glass now

854
00:40:51.239 --> 00:40:54.599
<v Speaker 2>Aaron Nola first pitch is next. Enjoy the game, everybody,

855
