Speaker 1: One thing about this geen is the invisible and tangibles
Speaker 1: that they have.

Speaker 1: And come to the show. And now your host of
Speaker 1: Dodger Talk, Tim Kakes.
Speaker 5: The Oklahoma City Express comes through for the Dodgers today
Speaker 5: in Miami. Hi, everybuddy, and welcome to Dodger Talk here
Speaker 5: on five seventy LA Sports Live Everywhere on the I
Speaker 5: Heart Radio app. Thanks for being with us on these
Speaker 5: Wednesday afternoon some day baseball in Miami. As the Dodgers
Speaker 5: beat the Marlins ten to one, it took a couple
Speaker 5: of spins around the lineup to get the Dodgers on
Speaker 5: the board. Finally, in the top half of the sixth inning,
Speaker 5: Freddie Freeman delivered with an RBI single after showing Otani
Speaker 5: tripled with one out and two batters before that, RBI
Speaker 5: number twenty six on this season, and Freddie Freeman was
Speaker 5: just getting going. Finished with four ribbies in the game.
Speaker 5: The Dodgers erupted with a six run seventh inning to
Speaker 5: take a seven to Zing League. James Outman put the
Speaker 5: cherry on top in the ninth inning with a three
Speaker 5: run home run, but the Oklahoma City Express. The four
Speaker 5: different Triple A players called up during this road trip
Speaker 5: all came through today. Landon Knack recalled from Triple A
Speaker 5: Olkama City to get the start five shutout.
Speaker 4: Innings for the win.
Speaker 5: Matt Sour called up activated right before the game with
Speaker 5: Evan Phillips going on the injured list. Four innings of relief,
Speaker 5: four strikeouts, gives up an unearned run after a couple
Speaker 5: of Dodger airs in the ninth inning, brought in and
Speaker 5: run on a Sack fly, he picks up his first
Speaker 5: save of his big league career. Then you've got Hey
Speaker 5: sun Kim the RBI single in the seventh inning started
Speaker 5: that big six run seventh for the Dodgers. Kim played
Speaker 5: center field today, has been absolutely fantastic for the Dodgers
Speaker 5: since getting called up. And then you add James Altman,
Speaker 5: who also was on the Oklahoma City Express, joining this
Speaker 5: Dodgers team on the road trip and gets out into
Speaker 5: center field today as a relief player, lead in the
Speaker 5: game and has a three run home run in the
Speaker 5: ninth inning, his first this season in.
Speaker 4: The Big leagues.
Speaker 5: Four different TRIPLEA players called up or recalled on this
Speaker 5: road trip contributing for the Dodgers today along with the
Speaker 5: Big Three and Andy Pajez, and the Dodgers put a
Speaker 5: ten spot up on the board as they beat the
Speaker 5: Miami Marlins ten to one. If you ever wanted to
Speaker 5: test the depth of this Dodgers team at multiple positions
Speaker 5: right pitching, outfield, infield, it was on full display today
Speaker 5: with James Autman, Hey Sunk, Kim, Matt sower landinack all
Speaker 5: four brought up on this road trip, two brought up
Speaker 5: in the last day to help because of entrees because
Speaker 5: of really a taxed bullpen, and they all deliver for
Speaker 5: the Dodgers this afternoon and the win over the Miami Marlins.
Speaker 5: The Dodgers take two to three, and they're the first
Speaker 5: team now in Major League Baseball to get to twenty
Speaker 5: five wins. Don't look now, but the Dodgers are twenty
Speaker 5: five and twelve. And I say that cautiously because the
Speaker 5: division is stacked. The Dodgers just can't shake the Padres
Speaker 5: or the Giants, and based on what happens the next
Speaker 5: four days in Arizona, the Diamondbacks could be right back
Speaker 5: into the equation in the NL West. And I get
Speaker 5: it's only early May and the Dodgers have played thirty
Speaker 5: seven games, but based on what we've seen so far,
Speaker 5: the Dodgers out in front of the division for the
Speaker 5: most part the entire way. The Padres and Giants going
Speaker 5: through runs had their lull last week and now both
Speaker 5: teams have won six out of their last ten, and
Speaker 5: they're right there at game game and a half back
Speaker 5: of the Dodgers. Depending on what happens in New York
Speaker 5: and what happens with the Giants moving forward, the Dodgers
Speaker 5: just can't seem to shake them, but still the first
Speaker 5: team to twenty five wins. The Dodgers two hundred and
Speaker 5: three runs scored is the second best in all of baseball,
Speaker 5: only behind the Chicago Cubs, who have the best offense
Speaker 5: in the major leagues right now. So the Dodgers continue
Speaker 5: to win, but just can't shake the teams behind them.
Speaker 5: And I got a feeling it's gonna be that way
Speaker 5: all season long. This is gonna be the wild Wild West,
Speaker 5: like we thought a couple of years ago was gonna
Speaker 5: happen and the Dodgers just ended up running away with
Speaker 5: the division. I think here in twenty twenty five, it's
Speaker 5: gonna be that way. It's gonna be competitive. And think
Speaker 5: about all the head to head matchups the Dodgers and
Speaker 5: Padres and Dodgers and Giants still have against each other.
Speaker 5: The Dodgers are three to zero against three against NL
Speaker 5: West teams.
Speaker 4: And correct me if I'm wrong.
Speaker 5: Call those are against the Colorado Rockies, right they haven't
Speaker 5: even played the Padres yet, Dodgers haven't even seen the
Speaker 5: Giants yet, And those are the two teams sniffing them
Speaker 5: in the standings. Oh, this is gonna be a fun season.
Speaker 5: This is gonna be a fun stretch run the second
Speaker 5: half of the year. With the NL West being as
Speaker 5: good as it is this season eight sixty six, nine
Speaker 5: eighty seven, two, five seventy. With the good comes the bad.
Speaker 5: The injuries for the Dodgers. As good as it was
Speaker 5: to see the Oklahoma City Express and the four guys
Speaker 5: contribute today, they're here for a reason.
Speaker 4: They're here because of injuries.
Speaker 5: Tommy Edmund, David Vasse telling us on the pregame show today,
Speaker 5: worked out in Miami, but Dave Roberts is not going
Speaker 5: to activate him off the injury list for this four
Speaker 5: game set in Arizona because of the Chase Field field
Speaker 5: being synthetic turf and being notoriously hard on knees and
Speaker 5: ankles when playing there. They're going to side on the
Speaker 5: side of caution. Either on the side of caution here
Speaker 5: for Tommy Edmond and let him stay on the injured
Speaker 5: list through the four games in Arizona and then activate
Speaker 5: him afterwards. Give him a few more days to rest
Speaker 5: that right ankle. That is good, It hasn't been a problem.
Speaker 5: They're just, you know, being cautious with Tommy Edmund and
Speaker 5: his ankle. Clayton Kershaw threw six no hit innings in
Speaker 5: an Arizona League game yesterday over in Phoenix. Now he's
Speaker 5: pitching against eighteen and nineteen year old young kids dominated them.
Speaker 5: But the good news is came out of it injury free.
Speaker 5: The toe is good, the arm is good, the body
Speaker 5: feel is good, and the future Hall of Famer is
Speaker 5: scheduled to get one more start in Oklahoma City before
Speaker 5: being activated when he's eligible to come off the injured
Speaker 5: list on May eighteenth. That is fantastic news for the
Speaker 5: Dodgers Taoscar Hernandez. Dave Roberts telling David Vasse in the
Speaker 5: media before the game forty eight hours ago, it wasn't
Speaker 5: looking good, could be a month. Well, here we are
Speaker 5: the final game of the series in Miami, and Dave
Speaker 5: Roberts alluded to the media that he could be back
Speaker 5: in a few weeks.
Speaker 4: They are fingers crossed hoping.
Speaker 5: It's not going to be as a long of an
Speaker 5: eyel stent for Taoscar Hernandez. Then then he initially thought, so,
Speaker 5: we'll see how that plays out and how much rest
Speaker 5: and rehabit he can get in the next few weeks.
Speaker 5: But also right before first pitch, the Dodgers announced Evan
Speaker 5: Phillips was placed on the injured list, another blow to
Speaker 5: the Dodgers' bullpen. Evan Phillips has just been activated from
Speaker 5: the injured list. What three and a half weeks ago,
Speaker 5: he missed twenty one games because of the right rotator
Speaker 5: cuff strain. Since coming back, made seven appearances with a save,
Speaker 5: six strikeouts in a couple of walks, well not giving
Speaker 5: up a run. But he goes back on the injured
Speaker 5: list today. Evan Phillips with right forearm discomfort.
Speaker 4: Let's head back out to Miami.
Speaker 5: Our own David Vasa just moments ago catching up with
Speaker 5: Evan Phillips.
Speaker 2: How long is this bothering you?
Speaker 7: Uh, you know, it's kind of just been. I thought
Speaker 7: it was just reacclimating to, you know, the workload, and
Speaker 7: I always felt good when I pitched, so that's kind of,
Speaker 7: you know, where my disappointment comes in, as I do
Speaker 7: feel like I can still contribute. But I think what
Speaker 7: it comes down to is is we don't want to
Speaker 7: mess around with something in early May, so we don't
Speaker 7: really have the luxury of giving me a couple of
Speaker 7: days off here to you know, figure it out. So
Speaker 7: we decided best to just you know, be cautious with it.
Speaker 7: We'll get a you know, a deeper look at things
Speaker 7: over the next week or a few days in Arizona
Speaker 7: when we get over there and you know, hopefully have
Speaker 7: a clear idea of what we're working with. But I
Speaker 7: think there's a lot of optimism in the training room
Speaker 7: about you know, what they're expecting. So let's just hope
Speaker 7: this is a quick fifteen days and we're right back
Speaker 7: to its true. We'll get to Arizona and kind of
Speaker 7: get our ducks in a row and create a plan,
Speaker 7: whether that's getting back to LA and getting something figured
Speaker 7: out or you know, see how things develop overnight. I
Speaker 7: think we've made some great progress even in just the.
Speaker 5: Past couple of days.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 7: That's again I'm you know, not happy to be in
Speaker 7: this position. I think we've made some great strides, am
Speaker 7: I just general recovery over the past couple of days.
Speaker 7: So hopefully we just keep building on that, you know,
Speaker 7: a pretty like normal ramp up with the rehab and everything.
Speaker 7: But do you think like just coming back and kind
Speaker 7: of being a little delayed the start of the season
Speaker 7: like it has anything to do with it. Maybe, you know, probably,
Speaker 7: But I think anytime a pictures, you know, building up,
Speaker 7: we're bound to experience some you know, soreness and you
Speaker 7: getting rebuilt up is always, you.
Speaker 4: Know, kind of a process.
Speaker 7: So I think this is just something we're being cautious
Speaker 7: with and we'll just you know, see how it plays out.
Speaker 7: But I don't feel too too worried at this point.
Speaker 7: In the forearm A yeah, Yeah, Well, I had been
Speaker 7: feeling you know, tightness kind of just generally in my
Speaker 7: my my lower arms would bice tricep forearm, and then
Speaker 7: it's kind of just bounced around a little bit. I've
Speaker 7: been getting different kinds of treatment to try to handle it,
Speaker 7: and I think that was a little bit alarming to
Speaker 7: get to the folks in the training room to see
Speaker 7: me handling things differently.
Speaker 3: Damn.
Speaker 7: Like I said, just at this stage, they're just not
Speaker 7: willing to take any chances.
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 5: There's Evan Phillips talking with David Veasse and the assembled media.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a stretch in which the Dodgers.
Speaker 5: Are playing ten games in ten days, playing nineteen games
Speaker 5: in twenty days. There is only one day off next Monday,
Speaker 5: before the Dodgers then turn around and start a nine
Speaker 5: game homestand before another day off, so there isn't a
Speaker 5: lot of breathing room to let a guy rest and
Speaker 5: give him a day off at the end of a series,
Speaker 5: a day off and then maybe a travel day. There's
Speaker 5: just not enough time there for a guide to rest
Speaker 5: without having to go on the injured list. So they
Speaker 5: are siding again on the side of caution there for
Speaker 5: the Dodgers like Tommy Evan and his ankle.
Speaker 4: With Evan Phillips.
Speaker 5: And his forearmed discomfort, a little bit of tightness there,
Speaker 5: says it feels better already than it did two days ago,
Speaker 5: and an injury injury listing is what they needed to
Speaker 5: do again because there's no days off during this ten
Speaker 5: games and ten days, and there's only one day off
Speaker 5: over the course of twenty days. With nineteen games in
Speaker 5: twenty days, you have to get another arm up there.
Speaker 5: There's just not enough room for Evan Phillips to get
Speaker 5: a breather or without him having to go on the
Speaker 5: injured list. So we'll see how that pans out. In
Speaker 5: the next couple of days. They're heading to Arizona. They
Speaker 5: certainly they got the facility there at camel Back Ranch
Speaker 5: that they can send Evan to and that's where all
Speaker 5: the Dodger pitchers and players go for rehab. That's where
Speaker 5: Clayton Kershaw was pitching yesterday in an Arizona League game
Speaker 5: against a bunch of young players. So thankfully the Dodgers
Speaker 5: are going outside of coming back to Los Angeles, Dodgers
Speaker 5: are going to the best spot Arizona so they can
Speaker 5: get those bodies that are hurt to camel Back Ranch.
Speaker 5: And I know they're gonna plan on getting hopefully some
Speaker 5: eyes on Blake Trining and Blake Snell and some of
Speaker 5: these Dodger pitchers, Tyler Glassdal while they're at camel Back
Speaker 5: Ranch and kind of get an update on what's happening
Speaker 5: with some of these Dodger pitchers. Again today, a masterful
Speaker 5: job by Matt Sower four innings gets him out of
Speaker 5: a jam with nobody out and runners on first and
Speaker 5: second in the sixth land and neck before that five
Speaker 5: shot out innings, the Dodgers' offense explodes for six runs
Speaker 5: in the seventh in a ten to one win over
Speaker 5: the Marlins. Just got to the phone, Steven la Thanks
Speaker 5: for joining us here on Dodger Talk on this Wednesday afternoon.
Speaker 4: What's going on? Steve?
Speaker 3: Hey, Tim, I'm glad you're on the phone with me
Speaker 3: because I played baseball. You played baseball at a high level.
Speaker 3: The eyes don't lie. When Edmund comes back, howsum and
Speaker 3: Kim should be the second baseman, then you what do
Speaker 3: you call it?
Speaker 2: At third?
Speaker 3: You use Kiki and the month Sie. But here's the
Speaker 3: big thing, Tim, how much and you are a catcher?
Speaker 3: How much longer do we have to put up with
Speaker 3: Austin Barnes.
Speaker 2: As a hitter?
Speaker 3: You know, I have my nephew's friend. It's better than
Speaker 3: Austin Barnes.
Speaker 2: He's pathetic.
Speaker 4: It was a struggle. It was a struggle.
Speaker 5: I appreciate it was a struggle today at the plate
Speaker 5: for Austin Barnes. He obviously was not happy with one
Speaker 5: of the at bats. You can see him almost like
Speaker 5: he wanted to break the bat over his knee Bo
Speaker 5: Jackson style. And he's frustrated with his offense and lack thereof.
Speaker 5: But Austin Barnes is a really good defensive catcher. And
Speaker 5: Austin Barnes is not playing every day. Will Smith is catching,
Speaker 5: you know, two out of every three games, four out
Speaker 5: of every six games. So that's where a bulk of
Speaker 5: the Indians and the at bats are going. It's hard
Speaker 5: to be a backup catcher in the major leagues and
Speaker 5: be a three hundred hitter. It just is you don't
Speaker 5: get enough of AB's. You don't get as as many
Speaker 5: opportunities as you like. Austin Barnes would love to be
Speaker 5: out there catching two out of every three games, four
Speaker 5: out of any six games, like a Will Smith.
Speaker 4: But his role is to be the backup.
Speaker 5: And it's not like you're gonna bring up I don't
Speaker 5: know Dalton Rushing to be a backup catcher to catch
Speaker 5: one out of every game in a series, a day
Speaker 5: game after a night game.
Speaker 4: You need to get him at.
Speaker 5: Bats, you need to get him opportunities to play every day.
Speaker 5: And that's why he's had a logjam right now in TRIPAA,
Speaker 5: Oklahoma City.
Speaker 4: And that's why Austin Barnes, to me.
Speaker 5: Is the perfect backup catcher veteran calls a great game,
Speaker 5: receives well, is very good defensively, and you know what
Speaker 5: you get out of him on defense, it's just a
Speaker 5: very very solid, above average, really good major league catcher,
Speaker 5: a good mind behind the plate. Offensively, what you get
Speaker 5: is what you get, and right today, zero for four
Speaker 5: with three punch outs, that's what you're gonna get at
Speaker 5: the bottom of the lineup with Austin Barnes. Fortunately, everybody
Speaker 5: else stepped up today. Even a hitless Mookie Betts still
Speaker 5: got on base twice with a couple of walks. Dodgers
Speaker 5: ten runs on twelve hits, beat the Marlins until one.
Speaker 5: We'll take a break, we'll come back. We'll get to
Speaker 5: more of your phone calls. We're also gonna hear from
Speaker 5: Freddy Freeman, what a day he had, what a series he.
Speaker 4: Had against the Miami Martins.
Speaker 5: We'll hear from Freddy her phone calls, and then turn
Speaker 5: things over to Petro. Some money coming up in about
Speaker 5: fifteen minutes. Don't go anywhere. Dodgers beat the Marlins ten

Speaker 6: I've regressed it back where it was, but he was
Speaker 6: swinging well, and he swings well here and he hammers
Speaker 6: one to the center field. It's deep, it's back to
Speaker 6: the wall.
Speaker 4: It's gone.
Speaker 1: A har run, A.
Speaker 4: Three run home run for James Outman.
Speaker 6: Once around the park, James, it is ten to nothing Dodgers.
Speaker 5: James out me with the three run home run. Daniels

Speaker 5: Dodgers own the Miami Marlins a ten to one win
Speaker 5: in South Florida today, landing NAC five shutout innings, gets
Speaker 5: to win.
Speaker 4: He improves the two to zero.
Speaker 5: Matt Sower comes in and pitches solid four innings of
Speaker 5: relief to pick up his first big League save. As
Speaker 5: the Dodgers erupted for six runs in the seventh inning.
Speaker 5: You just heard the three run home run from James
Speaker 5: Outman in the ninth inning. That was the cherry on
Speaker 5: top in a Dodgers ten to one win. Again, Tommy
Speaker 5: Edmond Ta Oscar Hernandez trending in the right direction. You
Speaker 5: heard Evan Phillips going on the injured list with the
Speaker 5: right forearm tightness. That was Matt Sower getting called up
Speaker 5: from Triple A Oklahoma City taking his spot, and he
Speaker 5: was fantastic with four innings of relief, giving up one
Speaker 5: Earnarn run in the ninth inning after back to back
Speaker 5: errors by the Dodger in field put runners on, and
Speaker 5: then a sack fly brought in the loan run of
Speaker 5: the game for my Amy. Let's go back out to
Speaker 5: the phones, Larry to Mechila, thanks for being patient, Larry.
Speaker 4: How you doing.
Speaker 2: I'm doing great. Hey, I just wanted to comment on
Speaker 2: your last caller, who I don't know. He seemed to
Speaker 2: proclaim that he's he's played ball at a high level.
Speaker 2: I don't know. Full me crazy, but I don't think
Speaker 2: it's a coincidence that every time, not every time, but
Speaker 2: often times, when the Dodgers have to throw a young
Speaker 2: pitcher out to start a game, often times Austin Barnes
Speaker 2: is behind the plate. I think there's a reason for that.
Speaker 2: I don't think it's a coincidence, right Austin Barnes obviously
Speaker 2: knows how to receive the ball. He's a really good receiver.
Speaker 3: Of the ball.
Speaker 2: He doesn't have the arm that he used to have.
Speaker 2: That's okay, I mean, but young pitchers need to have
Speaker 2: their confidence built, and apparently he must provide something because,
Speaker 2: as I say, I don't think it's coincidence that he's
Speaker 2: always out there catching these young guys. And by the way, yeah,
Speaker 2: he's not hitting as well as he did last year,
Speaker 2: but Austin Barnes had a nice what two eighty last
Speaker 2: year playing once a week.
Speaker 7: That's not bad.
Speaker 2: Now the guy that plays once a.
Speaker 4: Week, I'm with you, yeah, go ahead, go ahead.
Speaker 2: One other comment. You know, Andrew Friedman has done a
Speaker 2: really nice job over the years obviously putting this roster together.
Speaker 2: But don't look now, but you know, they were like,
Speaker 2: what four superior arms available in the off season. Max
Speaker 2: Freed is sitting with a sub one e r A,
Speaker 2: so we signed the first of those big arms. You know.
Speaker 2: Blake Snell is a great pitcher, but he has a
Speaker 2: history of injury, and as does Max Freed. But Max
Speaker 2: Freed looks pretty good and the Yankee tin strike he looks.
Speaker 4: Good so far.
Speaker 5: Larry, you're right, Well, we'll see how it all shakes
Speaker 5: out the second half of the season and moving forward.
Speaker 5: Because you're right, Max Freed does have an injury history,
Speaker 5: as does Blake Snell, But Blake Snell's also got a
Speaker 5: couple of Cy Young's sitting on.
Speaker 4: The back of his office chair.
Speaker 5: There has been a really good pitcher the second half
Speaker 5: of the season, and certainly that's what the Dodgers are wanting,
Speaker 5: is him to be there when it counts late in
Speaker 5: the year. Freddie Freeman has been there and continues to dominate.
Speaker 5: Freddie Freeman today an RBI single in the sixth He
Speaker 5: then had a three run home run in the seventh inning.
Speaker 5: Freddie Freeman just continues to dominate against the Miami Marlins.
Speaker 5: He has the most home runs of any player against
Speaker 5: the Marlins as an opposing hitter. He had that home
Speaker 5: run to break the record, now forty two. Yesterday, Freddie
Speaker 5: Freeman extends his Hitty Street to twelve games with the
Speaker 5: hits today for the Dodgers, now hitting three to sixty
Speaker 5: two on the season. Let's go back out to Miami.
Speaker 5: Here from Freddie postgame.
Speaker 8: Yeah, obviously I feel good. I mean, swing's going up
Speaker 8: to the middle kind of looking for the swing for
Speaker 8: a long time and finally found it. Things are going good.
Speaker 8: I mean, just the pitches, like the triple pitch, you
Speaker 8: know it's down below the zone, able to stay through
Speaker 8: it and not roll it over. So that's when you
Speaker 8: know you're feeling good.
Speaker 7: Dave said he thought that you had to find a
Speaker 7: new normal with your ankle.
Speaker 4: Have you found a new normal or is this the
Speaker 4: same Freddy No.
Speaker 8: I mean I might need to check myself a little bit,
Speaker 8: you know, getting thrown out going for a double the
Speaker 8: other day, I was out by about fifteen steps. I
Speaker 8: thought I was athletic going back when I was trying
Speaker 8: to when I got doubled off tonight, that didn't look
Speaker 8: so good on replay. So I think that's a new normal.
Speaker 8: It's just my brain and my ankle aren't really. I
Speaker 8: still think I can run and do some stuff, but
Speaker 8: I know I feel my routine is the same. I
Speaker 8: feel good. My ankle's obviously feeling much better because I
Speaker 8: think if you guys know, we were talking about potentially
Speaker 8: a day off during this road trip, and obviously I
Speaker 8: didn't take it, So I think that kind of says
Speaker 8: it all for itself. That my ankle's feeling really good
Speaker 8: right now. It's in a good spot. And obviously my
Speaker 8: swing is too differently with the lower half in your
Speaker 8: swing because of the ankle. No more, I have done nothing,
Speaker 8: I think I myself. I'm thinking the same things. My
Speaker 8: ankle feels good, so I'm hitting three times a day
Speaker 8: with my knee drills and you know, kind of doing
Speaker 8: the same thing I've always done. So that's a good thing.
Speaker 5: There's Freddy Freeman. It kind of feels like the ankle
Speaker 5: is doing well. And I'm sure it's not one hundred percent.
Speaker 5: But Freddie Freeman again today legging out a triple, you know,
Speaker 5: three for four, four ribbies, comes out of the game
Speaker 5: early so Dave Roberts can get him off his feet.
Speaker 5: But to think about what Freddy Freeman has done during
Speaker 5: this twelve game hitting streak, I mean today three for four,
Speaker 5: four ribbies. During this twelve game hitting streak, he's batting
Speaker 5: four to seventy eight. He is twenty two of for
Speaker 5: forty six with eight extra base hits and eighteen ribbies.
Speaker 5: During the last twelve game hitting streak for Freddie Freeman
Speaker 5: three sixty two average. Again only Trails, Aaron Judge, who's
Speaker 5: hitting over four hundred amongst hitters with ninety at bats
Speaker 5: this year.
Speaker 4: Freddy Freeman just.
Speaker 5: Quietly hitting three sixty two. I mean, you kind of
Speaker 5: put your head down, look what the Dodgers are doing.
Speaker 5: Next thing, you know, you look up and Freddie Freeman's
Speaker 5: second in the majors in batting average. Freddie Freeman's has
Speaker 5: a twelve game hitting streak. Just kind of whole hum.
Speaker 5: There's nothing a whole hum about what Freddie Freeman is
Speaker 5: doing right now. And to think, you know, we're talking
Speaker 5: about what Austin Barnes isn't doing offensively.
Speaker 4: Hey, when you've got eight guys.
Speaker 5: Above him doing what they're doing producing offensively, When you
Speaker 5: got six guys, you know, consistently producing the way they are,
Speaker 5: throwing Andy pajees into that group. Now to Askar Hernandez
Speaker 5: when he's healthy, Mookie Bez, Freddie Freeman show, Hey, o Tani,
Speaker 5: you don't necessarily need all nine guys to go three
Speaker 5: for four and driving a bunch of runs every single game.
Speaker 5: There are different rules and different things for different guys
Speaker 5: during the game, and obviously what you get offensively from
Speaker 5: Austin Barnes as far as production you take. But again,
Speaker 5: his defense is really good. And then what he does
Speaker 5: is helping out a young staff and a young pitcher
Speaker 5: like he did today in landon Neck and he's done
Speaker 5: with Roki Sasaki and even going back to Yamamodo Go
Speaker 5: and dealing with these young arms and being a guy
Speaker 5: who's behind the plate and makes them feel a little
Speaker 5: bit more ease. So Dodgers get the win today a
Speaker 5: collective effort. They erupt for six runs into seventh. Freddie
Speaker 5: Freeman drives in four, James Autman a three run home
Speaker 5: run in the ninth inning, and the Dodgers beat up
Speaker 5: on the Marlins ten to one. That's going to do
Speaker 5: it for a postgame Dodgers off coming up next, It's
Speaker 5: a Petro said Money show, and I got a feeling
Speaker 5: the launching pad may have takeoff coming up here shortly.
Speaker 5: Thanks to Colin ye Neanks to all you for listening
Speaker 5: being a part as you're making your way home on
Speaker 5: this Wednesday afternoon. Dodgers get the win and hopefully we
Speaker 5: entertained you for a little while.
Speaker 4: If not, maybe next time.
Speaker 5: Petros and Money Show coming up next, we'll be back
Speaker 5: at it.
Speaker 4: Tomorrow.
