And again it's more than just to post 96 00:04:32.759 --> 00:04:35.040 it up. Hey, we have the best record, I know 97 00:04:35.120 --> 00:04:37.199 it and actually means something if it comes down to 98 00:04:37.279 --> 00:04:37.959 with the postseason. 99 00:04:38.079 --> 00:04:40.399 And the Dodgers have seen already this year how tough 100 00:04:40.439 --> 00:04:43.439 a play Citizens Bank Ballpark is to play a baseball game, 101 00:04:43.519 --> 00:04:46.319 and it is to the end degree in the postseason. 102 00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:48.720 So you'd rather have the majority of the games here 103 00:04:48.759 --> 00:04:51.399 at Dodgers Stadium, wuldn't you? I absolutely agree, especially when 104 00:04:51.439 --> 00:04:55.079 you saw the atmosphere that can be created by Dodgers fans. 105 00:04:55.160 --> 00:04:57.519 Last night was a moment that we'll never forget to 106 00:04:57.600 --> 00:04:58.839 welcome back for Freddy. 107 00:04:58.519 --> 00:05:01.040 Franz, and it was wonderful. I think for all of us. 108 00:05:02.079 --> 00:05:04.120 There's a timeout that we had. First of all, there's 109 00:05:04.120 --> 00:05:06.360 a time out from reality when we come to the ballpark. 110 00:05:06.680 --> 00:05:09.360 That's one of the things you checked at the gate, YEP. Unfortunately, 111 00:05:09.360 --> 00:05:11.759 when the game's over, they hand us back the reality 112 00:05:12.399 --> 00:05:15.439 as we're leaving the stadium. But last night, the moment, 113 00:05:15.639 --> 00:05:18.000 I mean from the moment that fred Freeman walked into 114 00:05:18.319 --> 00:05:20.199 the locker room for a matter a matter of fact, 115 00:05:20.199 --> 00:05:23.000 and seeing all the jerseys that were up with the 116 00:05:23.079 --> 00:05:25.839 Maximus on the front and then Freeman on the back, 117 00:05:25.879 --> 00:05:27.959 I mean that brought him to tears. And I think 118 00:05:28.040 --> 00:05:31.480 all of us, you know, one of the big, big deals. 119 00:05:31.480 --> 00:05:33.800 We talked about it last night from a parent's standpoint, 120 00:05:33.800 --> 00:05:36.279 but when you have one of your children's in peril, 121 00:05:37.160 --> 00:05:40.920 everything stops, I mean reality stops, live stops and everything else. 122 00:05:41.519 --> 00:05:43.920 That was a magical moment I think for all of us, 123 00:05:43.959 --> 00:05:46.279 And kudos to everybody was here at the stadium, because 124 00:05:47.000 --> 00:05:50.560 in support we are much much better as a society. 125 00:05:50.680 --> 00:05:54.600 When we hold hands, you go arm in arm in something. 126 00:05:54.639 --> 00:05:57.160 And last night, fifty thousand went arm in arm to 127 00:05:57.199 --> 00:05:58.959 let Freddy Freeman his family know, look. 128 00:05:58.839 --> 00:05:59.519 We're right with you. 129 00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:04.120 Example of the baseball brotherhood that is talked about so often. 130 00:06:04.160 --> 00:06:04.680 You saw it. 131 00:06:04.759 --> 00:06:08.160 I mean just from Marvin Hudson, the crew chief, Garrett Stubbs, 132 00:06:08.160 --> 00:06:10.399 the catcher, Aaron Nola, all the Phillies, I mean Nick 133 00:06:10.439 --> 00:06:14.160 Castianos has his hat off in his hand to his chest, 134 00:06:14.319 --> 00:06:17.160 just the whole the whole scene. It was well done 135 00:06:17.279 --> 00:06:20.439 by all parties involved, and especially the Dodgers fans. 136 00:06:20.199 --> 00:06:22.879 And trod That was one of those moments too. No 137 00:06:22.920 --> 00:06:25.560 one was saying, oh, is your team in first place? 138 00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:28.480 Is he gotten a base hit? Is this guy's era 139 00:06:28.639 --> 00:06:31.319 is down? No, this was a moment about hey, look 140 00:06:32.839 --> 00:06:35.240 we can all be touched, yeah, at the snap of 141 00:06:35.240 --> 00:06:37.839 a finger in our own lives and our own families. 142 00:06:37.839 --> 00:06:40.079 And it was a wonderful sharing. I think of a 143 00:06:40.079 --> 00:06:41.759 lot of emotion and support last night. 144 00:06:42.160 --> 00:06:46.839 It was one of those where I was obviously was thankful. 145 00:06:46.439 --> 00:06:46.920 To be here. 146 00:06:47.199 --> 00:06:49.600 I was bummed to be on the radio call because 147 00:06:49.639 --> 00:06:51.439 you have to describe it, and I was like trying 148 00:06:51.439 --> 00:06:53.439 to hold back the tears and the emotions of the 149 00:06:53.480 --> 00:06:55.199 moment as well. So it was just a really cool thing. 150 00:06:55.319 --> 00:06:56.800 And to cap off the night with the win of 151 00:06:56.800 --> 00:07:00.000 course with Freddy obviously and show he talked about the 152 00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:03.079 afterwards to get a win and Freddie's turn was ultimately 153 00:07:03.480 --> 00:07:05.639 an appoint important thing too because it sets him up 154 00:07:05.639 --> 00:07:06.519 for a series win today. 155 00:07:06.600 --> 00:07:09.279 Yeah, and the ball clup's going back, and you understand 156 00:07:09.319 --> 00:07:11.000 as it look the guys on the other side of 157 00:07:11.040 --> 00:07:14.120 the field for the Phillies, they're trying to iron things 158 00:07:14.160 --> 00:07:17.240 out as well, because since the All Star break they've 159 00:07:17.240 --> 00:07:19.800 gone four and twelve. They're trying to right the ship. 160 00:07:20.160 --> 00:07:22.480 And we'll talk more about the Phillies and the struggles 161 00:07:22.519 --> 00:07:24.279 that they may have had, but each and every game 162 00:07:24.959 --> 00:07:27.360 you have to treat it differently. And we're gonna see 163 00:07:27.360 --> 00:07:29.800 Clayton Kershaw on the mound tonight. We'll talk about it 164 00:07:29.839 --> 00:07:31.839 the next segment a little bit more about Clayton Kershaw. 165 00:07:32.120 --> 00:07:34.920 But he's trying to get his season really underway. Even 166 00:07:34.959 --> 00:07:37.560 though it's gonna be his third start, I don't think 167 00:07:37.600 --> 00:07:39.120 he's had the start that he would like to have. 168 00:07:39.240 --> 00:07:40.959 It Tonight it's gonna be a whole different story. 169 00:07:41.399 --> 00:07:44.360 It'll be a battle of left handed pitchers.

Kirsten beforehand, though some good news. 225 00:10:30.080 --> 00:10:32.600 Mookie Betts's return is on the horizon. 226 00:10:32.879 --> 00:10:33.440 Yeah it is. 227 00:10:33.480 --> 00:10:35.639 I mean we can almost get a countdown clock going. 228 00:10:35.759 --> 00:10:38.679 He's supposed to be returning on the road trip in Milwaukee. 229 00:10:38.879 --> 00:10:41.039 It's looking like day one or day two of that 230 00:10:41.159 --> 00:10:43.840 road trip for the twelfth or the thirteenth. But as 231 00:10:43.919 --> 00:10:45.840 much as David's kind of like they don't want to 232 00:10:45.840 --> 00:10:49.080 go into the specifics of which date is going to be, 233 00:10:49.559 --> 00:10:52.279 those two seem very very likely and just that road 234 00:10:52.279 --> 00:10:54.919 trip in that series is a definite. Yes, So what 235 00:10:55.000 --> 00:10:57.120 does that mean for when he returns? What position is 236 00:10:57.120 --> 00:10:59.240 he going to be playing, obviously, with how a well 237 00:10:59.279 --> 00:11:02.519 Gavin Lucks and playing at second with Miguel Rojas, how 238 00:11:02.600 --> 00:11:05.440 well he was playing at shortstop and offensively before going 239 00:11:05.440 --> 00:11:08.919 on the IL. With all the acquisitions, there have been 240 00:11:08.960 --> 00:11:11.000 a lot of questions as to what are things going 241 00:11:11.039 --> 00:11:14.720 to look like. Dave Roberts said today that when Mooky returns, 242 00:11:14.759 --> 00:11:17.159 he's going to be playing at shortstop and he's going 243 00:11:17.159 --> 00:11:20.000 to be batting second. So similar to what we saw 244 00:11:20.080 --> 00:11:23.000 with the lineup last night in which it was show 245 00:11:23.080 --> 00:11:28.039 Hey O Tani, Teoscar Hernandez, and then Freddie Freeman. Moving forward, 246 00:11:28.080 --> 00:11:31.159 once Mookie returns from the injury from the injured list, 247 00:11:31.440 --> 00:11:34.600 it's going to be show Heyo Tani batting lead off, 248 00:11:34.799 --> 00:11:36.840 Moogie Betts has got a bad second, and then we'll 249 00:11:36.879 --> 00:11:39.240 see Freddy Freeman. And so David was just saying that 250 00:11:39.600 --> 00:11:42.879 he likes breaking up those two lefties, and so as 251 00:11:42.960 --> 00:11:45.080 much as we saw the first half of the season 252 00:11:45.120 --> 00:11:47.360 before Mookie went on the IL, he was batting first 253 00:11:47.360 --> 00:11:49.759 and then show Hey and then Freddy, there was talks 254 00:11:49.799 --> 00:11:51.919 of breaking them up. That's what the plan is going 255 00:11:51.960 --> 00:11:54.960 to be upon return. But that just means there's a 256 00:11:55.000 --> 00:11:57.480 whole lethora of more questions as to what does that 257 00:11:57.519 --> 00:12:00.519 mean for everyone else? So, Tim, it's gonna be a tricky. 258 00:12:00.360 --> 00:12:03.039 On It's gonna be a game of musical chairs here 259 00:12:03.120 --> 00:12:06.080 soon once these guys all get back, and Max Munsey's 260 00:12:06.120 --> 00:12:08.440 on the horizon as well, we're gonna get these arms 261 00:12:08.440 --> 00:12:11.279 back in the bulp and there's just not enough chairs 262 00:12:11.320 --> 00:12:11.960 at the dance. 263 00:12:12.320 --> 00:12:14.720 Yeah, And that's the biggest thing is how do you 264 00:12:14.840 --> 00:12:17.600 make this work? Obviously, when you look at the trade deadline, 265 00:12:17.600 --> 00:12:20.919 Tommy Edmund was acquired, You've got Ahmed Rosario, They've got 266 00:12:21.039 --> 00:12:24.600 Nick Ahmed, Like, there are so many players who they're 267 00:12:24.600 --> 00:12:25.879 playing well, they're putting. 268 00:12:25.679 --> 00:12:26.080 It out there. 269 00:12:26.080 --> 00:12:27.960 Even you look at Kei y Hernandez, he has upped 270 00:12:27.960 --> 00:12:30.399 his game ass of Lade, playing primarily every day at 271 00:12:30.399 --> 00:12:35.159 third base. Well, tomorrow we're gonna be seeing likely Miguel 272 00:12:35.240 --> 00:12:39.120 rohas returning from the il tonight he's with the Quakes. 273 00:12:39.159 --> 00:12:41.440 He's gonna be dhing in that game, so is getting 274 00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:44.200 some more at bats and then his return could be tomorrow. 275 00:12:44.600 --> 00:12:46.679 So who is he gonna come in for? What is 276 00:12:46.720 --> 00:12:48.879 he gonna play? Is he gonna step in as shortstop 277 00:12:49.000 --> 00:12:51.480 or is he gonna step in more at third because 278 00:12:51.519 --> 00:12:55.039 then a couple days later, I guess maybe a series later, 279 00:12:55.200 --> 00:12:57.600 we're gonna be seeing Mookie Betts return on the road trip. 280 00:12:57.639 --> 00:13:00.879 So there are a lot of questions. Does this mean 281 00:13:00.919 --> 00:13:04.399 that you know the younger guys in Andy pa has 282 00:13:04.480 --> 00:13:08.480 as well as James Outman. Is it limited opportunity for 283 00:13:08.600 --> 00:13:11.440 them now? Or are maybe one of these veteran guys 284 00:13:11.480 --> 00:13:14.000 Like it's a good problem to have, but it's a 285 00:13:14.000 --> 00:13:15.000 tough one as well. 286 00:13:15.279 --> 00:13:17.919 It definitely is. Here's to appreciate it. We'll check you 287 00:13:17.960 --> 00:13:20.240 with you after the game.

Can you just describe Dave? 324 00:15:09.080 --> 00:15:10.960 Can you talk about the pressure. 325 00:15:11.360 --> 00:15:14.039 In the dugouts with Dave Roberts. 326 00:15:15.240 --> 00:15:17.559 You know, it's sort of, you know, the first one 327 00:15:17.879 --> 00:15:22.399 I thought was really good stuff is crisp sharp. The 328 00:15:22.480 --> 00:15:26.679 second one not as crisp across the board, and so 329 00:15:26.879 --> 00:15:30.240 I think that, you know, tonight, I think that we 330 00:15:31.080 --> 00:15:34.000 sort of the pitching guys work through some things on 331 00:15:34.080 --> 00:15:38.159 the delivery. I you know, I don't expect Clayton to 332 00:15:38.279 --> 00:15:41.759 be perfect every time out still just give us what 333 00:15:41.799 --> 00:15:44.639 he has. Uh, it's a very good lineup over there, 334 00:15:45.039 --> 00:15:48.080 and you know, I think tonight, you know, the slider 335 00:15:48.120 --> 00:15:50.200 obviously is his pitch. There's a lot of right hand 336 00:15:50.240 --> 00:15:53.159 hitters in there. So the depth of the slider is 337 00:15:53.159 --> 00:15:56.080 going to be important. And you know, using this using 338 00:15:56.120 --> 00:15:59.919 the curveball and then also locating the fastball. So, uh, 339 00:16:00.519 --> 00:16:03.679 he's gonna have to be effective as far as command. 340 00:16:03.759 --> 00:16:05.159 And if he does that, it's going to be a 341 00:16:05.159 --> 00:16:07.559 good outing and we'll see as far as how far 342 00:16:07.639 --> 00:16:09.840 we push him. But I expected to be good tonight. 343 00:16:10.279 --> 00:16:13.159 All right, there's Dave Roberts talking about Clayton Kershaw getting 344 00:16:13.159 --> 00:16:16.080 the start tonight on the Dugout with Dave Roberts, brought 345 00:16:16.080 --> 00:16:18.559 to you by Service Titan.

Hey o Tani there, Uh, what 371 00:17:32.920 --> 00:17:33.599 do you make of this? 372 00:17:34.279 --> 00:17:37.000 Yeah? I wasn't sure what to make out of it, 373 00:17:37.079 --> 00:17:41.640 but gauging Mookie's temperature after Dave Roberts announced it, my 374 00:17:41.759 --> 00:17:44.640 understanding is Mookie is okay with it because he wants 375 00:17:44.680 --> 00:17:47.559 to win a World Series and more importantly, he wants 376 00:17:47.599 --> 00:17:50.039 to have a parade in Los Angeles for the first 377 00:17:50.039 --> 00:17:53.160 time since nineteen eighty eight for the Dodgers. So that's 378 00:17:53.200 --> 00:17:57.480 at the forefront of his focus this season, and you 379 00:17:57.519 --> 00:18:00.960 know his actions has spoken louder than his He went 380 00:18:01.039 --> 00:18:04.200 to second base, then he went to shortstop, and there's 381 00:18:04.279 --> 00:18:06.599 even a chance that he may go back to right 382 00:18:06.640 --> 00:18:09.680 field when the postseason starts. But here he is. He 383 00:18:09.720 --> 00:18:12.920 gets unfortunately hit by a pitch on his left hand. 384 00:18:13.279 --> 00:18:15.599 He's out for six weeks, and when he comes back, 385 00:18:15.880 --> 00:18:19.079 he's no longer the Dodgers' leadoff hitter. But I will 386 00:18:19.119 --> 00:18:22.079 say this Tim, it's a lot to expect for Mooki 387 00:18:22.160 --> 00:18:24.839 to come back and be the leadoff hitter when he's 388 00:18:24.839 --> 00:18:27.839 missed six weeks. So I could see this being the 389 00:18:27.880 --> 00:18:31.559 Dodgers allowing him to just get the feel back to hitting, 390 00:18:32.039 --> 00:18:35.880 and maybe when October comes around, or maybe even a 391 00:18:35.920 --> 00:18:38.960 few weeks after he returns, they go back to the 392 00:18:39.000 --> 00:18:43.480 original starting lineup of bets Otani and Freeman. As far 393 00:18:43.519 --> 00:18:46.160 as shortstop goes, he heard from Muki yesterday. We had 394 00:18:46.200 --> 00:18:48.960 a chance to speak to him. That's where he prefers 395 00:18:49.039 --> 00:18:52.200 to play, and the Dodgers feel like these six weeks 396 00:18:52.240 --> 00:18:54.920 since he broke his left hand has given him an 397 00:18:54.960 --> 00:18:59.240 opportunity to refine the throwing from that position, because that 398 00:18:59.440 --> 00:19:02.559 was the biggest hurdle, So we'll see. The Dodgers want 399 00:19:02.599 --> 00:19:05.359 to see what this version of Mookie Betts is like 400 00:19:05.480 --> 00:19:09.400 after having basically six weeks of spring training to throw 401 00:19:09.480 --> 00:19:12.559
