00:00:08.720 --> 00:00:12.000
<v Speaker 2>Hi Dodger Fan, Tan, Welcome to Dodger Talk here on

5
00:00:12.039 --> 00:00:16.320
<v Speaker 2>this off night, Thursday, August first. Thanks for being with

00:00:16.399 --> 00:00:20.440
<v Speaker 2>us as the Dodgers road trip continues. The third stop

<v Speaker 2>begins tomorrow in Oakland and a three game series against

8
00:00:24.800 --> 00:00:28.000
<v Speaker 2>the A's. As the Dodgers started this road trip in

9
00:00:28.160 --> 00:00:31.320
<v Speaker 2>Houston drop two of three to the Astros, played two

10
00:00:31.320 --> 00:00:33.960
<v Speaker 2>in San Diego the past two nights, drop both of

11
00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:36.399
<v Speaker 2>those games to the Padres, and the Dodgers now head

12
00:00:36.439 --> 00:00:39.799
<v Speaker 2>to Oakland for a three game weekend series. Phone lines

00:00:39.840 --> 00:00:41.880
<v Speaker 2>are wide open at eighty six six nine eighty seven

14
00:00:41.960 --> 00:00:44.960
<v Speaker 2>two five to seventy eight six six nine to eighty

15
00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:47.880
<v Speaker 2>seven two five seventy. Got a lot to get to

16
00:00:48.039 --> 00:00:50.679
<v Speaker 2>over the next hour. It's give me a busy sixty minutes,

17
00:00:50.719 --> 00:00:51.920
<v Speaker 2>and I'll want you to be a part of it,

18
00:00:52.159 --> 00:00:54.840
<v Speaker 2>wherever you may be on this Thursday night, eight sixty

19
00:00:54.840 --> 00:00:57.719
<v Speaker 2>six nine eighty seven two five seventy coming up in

20
00:00:57.719 --> 00:00:59.960
<v Speaker 2>about forty five minutes. Gonna get you a farm report.

21
00:01:00.520 --> 00:01:03.159
<v Speaker 2>The Dodgers at the trade deadline, made a couple of

22
00:01:03.240 --> 00:01:06.560
<v Speaker 2>moves and really only one top prospect got dealt, and

23
00:01:06.599 --> 00:01:09.879
<v Speaker 2>that was Thean Loronzo, the Dodgers catcher and high a Ball,

24
00:01:10.120 --> 00:01:13.280
<v Speaker 2>considered a top ten overall prospect for the Dodgers, but

25
00:01:13.359 --> 00:01:17.480
<v Speaker 2>also considered the third of three Dodger prospects in the

26
00:01:17.519 --> 00:01:19.920
<v Speaker 2>minor leagues here. In twenty twenty four, he was dealt

27
00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:22.599
<v Speaker 2>to the Detroit Tigers in the deal for Jack Fulaherty.

28
00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:26.359
<v Speaker 2>After that, the Dodgers maintained pretty well as far as

29
00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:29.719
<v Speaker 2>their prospects are concerned, and their minor league depth stayed

30
00:01:29.799 --> 00:01:32.280
<v Speaker 2>pat at the deadline. Even though the Dodgers were able

31
00:01:32.359 --> 00:01:34.640
<v Speaker 2>to make some moves and add to their major league roster,

32
00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:38.480
<v Speaker 2>their minor league system did not get depleted, unlike a

33
00:01:38.480 --> 00:01:41.359
<v Speaker 2>couple of other organizations around baseball. So I'll give you

34
00:01:41.359 --> 00:01:43.480
<v Speaker 2>an update on where some of these guys are at,

35
00:01:43.560 --> 00:01:46.239
<v Speaker 2>how they're doing, because we could see some of them

36
00:01:46.599 --> 00:01:49.359
<v Speaker 2>at the major league level this year. Certainly we'll see

37
00:01:49.400 --> 00:01:52.599
<v Speaker 2>some of them next year. But the Dodgers not trading

38
00:01:52.599 --> 00:01:55.719
<v Speaker 2>away the quote unquote farm at the deadline. So we'll

39
00:01:55.719 --> 00:01:57.519
<v Speaker 2>tell you where some of these guys are at and

40
00:01:57.560 --> 00:01:59.959
<v Speaker 2>how they're doing. That's coming up at seven forty five,

41
00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:02.519
<v Speaker 2>eight sixty six, nine eighty seven, two five seventy is

42
00:02:02.560 --> 00:02:03.040
<v Speaker 2>the number.

43
00:02:03.200 --> 00:02:04.239
<v Speaker 3>It's gonna be a busy hour.

44
00:02:04.280 --> 00:02:06.280
<v Speaker 2>As I mentioned, coming up in just a little bit,

45
00:02:06.719 --> 00:02:11.560
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers are making their last trip to Oakland ever. Yes,

46
00:02:12.240 --> 00:02:14.560
<v Speaker 2>we all know the Oakland A's have been looking for

47
00:02:14.639 --> 00:02:16.919
<v Speaker 2>a new stadium. They are moving to Las Vegas in

48
00:02:16.960 --> 00:02:19.800
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty eight, but in the meantime they're gonna be

49
00:02:19.800 --> 00:02:23.000
<v Speaker 2>moving the Sacramento and playing their games at the TRIPAA

50
00:02:23.080 --> 00:02:26.199
<v Speaker 2>Stadium there in Sacktown. So that means this is the

51
00:02:26.280 --> 00:02:29.199
<v Speaker 2>last season that they are gonna be playing baseball at

52
00:02:29.240 --> 00:02:33.439
<v Speaker 2>the Oakland Alameda County Coliseum. This is the last trip

53
00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:36.960
<v Speaker 2>ever for the Dodgers in Oakland. Now they stay in

54
00:02:37.000 --> 00:02:40.240
<v Speaker 2>San Francisco. They play the three games in Oakland, as

55
00:02:40.280 --> 00:02:42.840
<v Speaker 2>do all the teams that fly and travel to the

56
00:02:42.840 --> 00:02:45.680
<v Speaker 2>Bay Area to take on the Giants or the A's.

57
00:02:45.719 --> 00:02:48.360
<v Speaker 2>They stay in San Francisco and they'll play this series

58
00:02:48.719 --> 00:02:52.000
<v Speaker 2>across the Bay in Oakland. But the Dodgers have some

59
00:02:52.240 --> 00:02:55.520
<v Speaker 2>history in Oakland, which we're gonna get to, some big

60
00:02:55.599 --> 00:02:58.439
<v Speaker 2>history going back to nineteen eighty eight and that World

61
00:02:58.520 --> 00:03:02.400
<v Speaker 2>Series showdown against the Oakland a So we'll remember a

62
00:03:02.479 --> 00:03:04.759
<v Speaker 2>moment there in nineteen eighty eight because this is the

63
00:03:04.840 --> 00:03:08.120
<v Speaker 2>last trip the Dodgers are ever making to Oakland. They'll

64
00:03:08.159 --> 00:03:10.680
<v Speaker 2>be going to Sacramento, as I mentioned, and then eventually

65
00:03:10.759 --> 00:03:14.080
<v Speaker 2>Las Vegas, where the A's will end up. The Summer

66
00:03:14.159 --> 00:03:17.000
<v Speaker 2>Games are going on over in Paris, and we're just

67
00:03:17.080 --> 00:03:19.919
<v Speaker 2>about a week in to the Summer Olympics, and we've

68
00:03:19.919 --> 00:03:21.800
<v Speaker 2>got a lot of track and field still to come.

69
00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:23.840
<v Speaker 2>In the second week. You're seeing a lot of the

70
00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:27.960
<v Speaker 2>swimming events starting to wrap up today in tomorrow. Basketball

71
00:03:28.039 --> 00:03:31.919
<v Speaker 2>is in full swing. But where's baseball? Why isn't baseball

72
00:03:32.479 --> 00:03:35.800
<v Speaker 2>in the twenty twenty four Summer Games? Will it be

73
00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:38.719
<v Speaker 2>in the Summer Olympics here in Los Angeles in four

74
00:03:38.840 --> 00:03:43.319
<v Speaker 2>years in the twenty twenty eight games, Yes, yes it will.

75
00:03:43.639 --> 00:03:46.280
<v Speaker 2>We'll get into that and why baseball isn't in this

76
00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:49.120
<v Speaker 2>Summer Games? And one of the big questions that's going

77
00:03:49.199 --> 00:03:52.280
<v Speaker 2>to be going in to the twenty twenty eight Summer Olympics.

78
00:03:52.319 --> 00:03:54.000
<v Speaker 2>And I know that the long ways away, but it's

79
00:03:54.039 --> 00:03:56.759
<v Speaker 2>gonna be here in Los Angeles, and it'll be here

80
00:03:56.800 --> 00:04:00.680
<v Speaker 2>before you know it is. We'll majorly play be able

81
00:04:00.719 --> 00:04:05.159
<v Speaker 2>to play. Will Baseball pause their season for a week

82
00:04:05.960 --> 00:04:09.039
<v Speaker 2>so they can play in the summer games in Los

83
00:04:09.080 --> 00:04:12.360
<v Speaker 2>Angeles in twenty twenty four, You can make it so

84
00:04:12.879 --> 00:04:14.919
<v Speaker 2>one of the two weeks of the Olympics is where

85
00:04:14.960 --> 00:04:17.600
<v Speaker 2>you play those games, and you don't have to stretch

86
00:04:17.639 --> 00:04:20.879
<v Speaker 2>it out over two weeks. Swimming doesn't do that. Swimming

87
00:04:20.920 --> 00:04:22.439
<v Speaker 2>takes up one of the weeks, and then you get

88
00:04:22.439 --> 00:04:24.879
<v Speaker 2>gymnastics that takes up a week, and you get track

89
00:04:24.920 --> 00:04:27.560
<v Speaker 2>and field that takes up the second half of the Olympics.

90
00:04:27.839 --> 00:04:30.160
<v Speaker 2>They spread them out pretty good, but they also divide

91
00:04:30.199 --> 00:04:34.120
<v Speaker 2>it up pretty well equally as well. And baseball could

92
00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:39.079
<v Speaker 2>be played in one week, maybe even eight days. It

93
00:04:39.079 --> 00:04:42.120
<v Speaker 2>could be done. But will Major League Baseball allow show

94
00:04:42.199 --> 00:04:45.839
<v Speaker 2>Heyo Tani Mookie Betts might trout to the world if

95
00:04:45.839 --> 00:04:48.759
<v Speaker 2>he's healthy. The stars of the Big leagues, the Bobby

96
00:04:48.800 --> 00:04:51.959
<v Speaker 2>Witt Juniors, will they be allowed to play in four

97
00:04:52.040 --> 00:04:55.839
<v Speaker 2>years in the summer games? Now it's during the season,

98
00:04:56.399 --> 00:04:59.199
<v Speaker 2>which is a lot different than the NBA, which is

99
00:04:59.399 --> 00:05:02.000
<v Speaker 2>not the season. And right now, thus you're seeing Lebron

100
00:05:02.079 --> 00:05:04.759
<v Speaker 2>James and Anthony Davis, and you know, the top fifteen

101
00:05:04.839 --> 00:05:07.879
<v Speaker 2>players in the NBA from the United States playing for

102
00:05:07.959 --> 00:05:10.720
<v Speaker 2>Team USA, and a lot of players representing Canada and

103
00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:15.240
<v Speaker 2>Puerto Rico, the Dominican, Australia. There's a lot of NBA

104
00:05:15.319 --> 00:05:19.519
<v Speaker 2>players in these Olympics, the French team. But baseball is

105
00:05:19.560 --> 00:05:21.839
<v Speaker 2>a different story. It's like hockey in the Winter Games.

106
00:05:22.240 --> 00:05:26.759
<v Speaker 2>The hockey season is taking place, but they pause. They

107
00:05:26.800 --> 00:05:30.360
<v Speaker 2>pause for two weeks every time there's a Winter Olympics,

108
00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:34.879
<v Speaker 2>so teams stop play and players can go play for

109
00:05:34.920 --> 00:05:37.240
<v Speaker 2>their respective countries because it's a big deal for a

110
00:05:37.279 --> 00:05:40.600
<v Speaker 2>lot of these hockey players. That's the NHL. Well, Major

111
00:05:40.680 --> 00:05:42.319
<v Speaker 2>League Baseball do it in four years. I got some

112
00:05:42.360 --> 00:05:43.920
<v Speaker 2>thoughts on that coming up. You can weigh in as

113
00:05:43.959 --> 00:05:46.399
<v Speaker 2>well at eight sixty six ninety seven to two five

114
00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:49.319
<v Speaker 2>seventy so got a lot to get into, including the

115
00:05:49.439 --> 00:05:51.759
<v Speaker 2>update on Walker Bueler, which I'm gonna get to in

116
00:05:51.839 --> 00:05:53.560
<v Speaker 2>just a couple of minutes. He pitched tonight and his

117
00:05:53.680 --> 00:05:57.680
<v Speaker 2>night is over in TRIPAA, Oklahoma City, and if you

118
00:05:57.720 --> 00:06:01.000
<v Speaker 2>were hoping for a good result, it was, And I

119
00:06:01.040 --> 00:06:03.560
<v Speaker 2>got some thoughts on what that means as far as

120
00:06:03.560 --> 00:06:07.319
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers' rotation going forward. But the big question Dodger fans.

121
00:06:07.519 --> 00:06:12.319
<v Speaker 2>Why the panic? Why the panic? We've flipped the calendar

122
00:06:12.360 --> 00:06:15.959
<v Speaker 2>to August. Now the month of July, and the dismal

123
00:06:16.079 --> 00:06:22.079
<v Speaker 2>eleven and thirteen record is behind them. The first losing

124
00:06:22.160 --> 00:06:25.399
<v Speaker 2>month since twenty eighteen for the Dodgers is in the

125
00:06:25.439 --> 00:06:30.560
<v Speaker 2>rear view. This series against San Diego is behind them.

126
00:06:30.879 --> 00:06:34.720
<v Speaker 2>Certainly a four and a half game lead. And what

127
00:06:34.759 --> 00:06:36.839
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers have done up to this point is great.

128
00:06:38.120 --> 00:06:40.680
<v Speaker 2>But now the Dodgers need to buckle up and get

129
00:06:40.720 --> 00:06:43.439
<v Speaker 2>ready for the final two months of the regular season

130
00:06:44.040 --> 00:06:48.800
<v Speaker 2>and October baseball. And this Dodgers team is going to

131
00:06:48.879 --> 00:06:52.199
<v Speaker 2>start getting healthy. And I keep having to remind people,

132
00:06:52.279 --> 00:06:57.399
<v Speaker 2>whether it's friends or family that continuously text, what's going

133
00:06:57.439 --> 00:07:00.439
<v Speaker 2>on the Dodgers. What's up with this player? The Dodgers

134
00:07:00.439 --> 00:07:02.800
<v Speaker 2>can be able to win without this guy. This guy

135
00:07:02.839 --> 00:07:05.079
<v Speaker 2>needs to be out of the rotation. This guy's no

136
00:07:05.160 --> 00:07:09.360
<v Speaker 2>longer a good player anymore. Just pumped the breaks for

137
00:07:09.399 --> 00:07:13.920
<v Speaker 2>a second. They got out to a big lead. They've

138
00:07:14.040 --> 00:07:17.199
<v Speaker 2>led the NL West virtually all season. You got a

139
00:07:17.240 --> 00:07:18.920
<v Speaker 2>four and a half game lead now going into the

140
00:07:18.920 --> 00:07:23.720
<v Speaker 2>final two months of play. Sure the Dodgers team right

141
00:07:23.759 --> 00:07:28.360
<v Speaker 2>now playing five hundred baseball compared to what the Diamondbacks

142
00:07:28.360 --> 00:07:30.399
<v Speaker 2>and Padres have done over the last couple of weeks

143
00:07:30.519 --> 00:07:33.439
<v Speaker 2>pre All Star Break and post All Star Break. That's

144
00:07:33.439 --> 00:07:35.759
<v Speaker 2>why they've made up some ground. They're playing some good baseball.

145
00:07:36.439 --> 00:07:40.800
<v Speaker 2>Well the Dodgers aren't, but that could quickly flip. As

146
00:07:40.800 --> 00:07:43.319
<v Speaker 2>good as you are today, you can start a losing

147
00:07:43.360 --> 00:07:47.240
<v Speaker 2>streak tomorrow and the lead for the Dodgers could balloon

148
00:07:47.319 --> 00:07:49.279
<v Speaker 2>back up to seven and a half eight and a

149
00:07:49.360 --> 00:07:51.600
<v Speaker 2>half nine games in the division. At what point it

150
00:07:51.639 --> 00:07:54.759
<v Speaker 2>was double digits ahead of all the other teams of

151
00:07:54.759 --> 00:07:59.600
<v Speaker 2>the division. So yeah, while the Padres and the Diamondbacks

152
00:07:59.639 --> 00:08:03.240
<v Speaker 2>are playing better baseball, they are and they've made some

153
00:08:03.279 --> 00:08:06.639
<v Speaker 2>additions at the trade deadline. They did so before the

154
00:08:06.680 --> 00:08:10.720
<v Speaker 2>trade deadline, with Luisa Rice coming over from Miami to

155
00:08:10.839 --> 00:08:15.959
<v Speaker 2>San Diego. Dylan Cees they acquired well before the trade

156
00:08:15.959 --> 00:08:21.240
<v Speaker 2>deadline at a bargain. Things got a little bit different

157
00:08:21.680 --> 00:08:25.800
<v Speaker 2>that the trade deadline as far as asking prices, and

158
00:08:25.879 --> 00:08:29.000
<v Speaker 2>players who were weren't available, weren't available were't going to

159
00:08:29.079 --> 00:08:31.600
<v Speaker 2>get moved to guys who were tried to get moved,

160
00:08:31.600 --> 00:08:34.480
<v Speaker 2>but the asking price was just too high for everybody.

161
00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:39.919
<v Speaker 2>The Dodgers are sitting in a good situation, and I

162
00:08:40.000 --> 00:08:45.159
<v Speaker 2>know Dodger fans are panicking, but I remind you the

163
00:08:45.240 --> 00:08:49.840
<v Speaker 2>ultimate goal is a championship. Winning one hundred and eleven games?

164
00:08:50.240 --> 00:08:56.320
<v Speaker 2>What does it get you? What a note on your

165
00:08:56.320 --> 00:09:00.360
<v Speaker 2>Wikipedia page it says, the uh, whatever year team won

166
00:09:00.399 --> 00:09:03.000
<v Speaker 2>one hundred and eleven games. This year's team won one

167
00:09:03.080 --> 00:09:06.600
<v Speaker 2>hundred and five games. That's all gets you, goes down

168
00:09:06.600 --> 00:09:10.799
<v Speaker 2>on Baseball Reference dot com. Suret's there forever, But if

169
00:09:10.840 --> 00:09:13.960
<v Speaker 2>it doesn't get you a championship, what does it really

170
00:09:14.000 --> 00:09:20.559
<v Speaker 2>get you? So this panic of season's over throw it in.

171
00:09:21.200 --> 00:09:24.519
<v Speaker 2>We don't have the rotation, we don't have the bodies,

172
00:09:24.559 --> 00:09:27.679
<v Speaker 2>we don't have the bats. Our bullpen is aged and

173
00:09:27.919 --> 00:09:33.240
<v Speaker 2>washed up. Hold on, just hold on a second. Guys

174
00:09:33.240 --> 00:09:37.399
<v Speaker 2>are gonna get healthy Max months He's gonna be back

175
00:09:37.399 --> 00:09:39.600
<v Speaker 2>in this lineup. I'm convinced soon.

176
00:09:40.759 --> 00:09:41.600
<v Speaker 3>I hope.

177
00:09:43.200 --> 00:09:47.279
<v Speaker 2>Mookie Betts is progressing every day. He's hitting off a tee,

178
00:09:47.320 --> 00:09:52.559
<v Speaker 2>taking ground balls. The Dodgers are gonna get back Freddie

179
00:09:52.559 --> 00:09:53.639
<v Speaker 2>Freeman and more on him.

180
00:09:53.679 --> 00:09:56.600
<v Speaker 3>In just a minute. He'll be back.

181
00:09:57.879 --> 00:10:01.759
<v Speaker 2>In this lineup with Mookie and Max Munci and shoey

182
00:10:01.759 --> 00:10:04.720
<v Speaker 2>Otani and now a heated up Gavin Lux and a

183
00:10:04.799 --> 00:10:07.600
<v Speaker 2>tae Oscar Hernanez, and it'll be back to the Dodger

184
00:10:07.720 --> 00:10:12.840
<v Speaker 2>lineup that we saw stacked one through six, and all

185
00:10:12.919 --> 00:10:16.159
<v Speaker 2>you wanted to complain about was seven, eight and nine

186
00:10:16.200 --> 00:10:19.720
<v Speaker 2>not carrying their weight in the Dodger lineup. Well, you

187
00:10:19.840 --> 00:10:22.360
<v Speaker 2>take three of those guys out of the lineup, it's

188
00:10:22.360 --> 00:10:25.039
<v Speaker 2>gonna look a little different. Run production's gonna look a

189
00:10:25.080 --> 00:10:28.600
<v Speaker 2>little different. Results are gonna look a little different. Outcomes

190
00:10:28.639 --> 00:10:31.399
<v Speaker 2>of games are gonna look a little different. And they

191
00:10:31.440 --> 00:10:34.960
<v Speaker 2>have now as far as the bullpit is concerned. There

192
00:10:34.960 --> 00:10:38.919
<v Speaker 2>were stretches this year. The Dodgers were thrown out Ramirez's

193
00:10:39.000 --> 00:10:43.240
<v Speaker 2>and Bondas of the world, just to mix and match.

194
00:10:44.759 --> 00:10:48.639
<v Speaker 2>They've gotten back Joe Kelly, They've picked up Michael Kopek,

195
00:10:49.639 --> 00:10:53.919
<v Speaker 2>Daniel Hudson and Blake Tried and they'll be okay. Just

196
00:10:54.399 --> 00:10:58.159
<v Speaker 2>throttle back their usage a little bit. But Michael Grove

197
00:10:58.279 --> 00:11:00.720
<v Speaker 2>is close to returning to help out this Didger's bullpen.

198
00:11:01.279 --> 00:11:05.799
<v Speaker 2>Right behind him the Bazooka Bruce Dark Graderol who hasn't

199
00:11:05.879 --> 00:11:08.080
<v Speaker 2>pitched at all in.

200
00:11:08.080 --> 00:11:09.000
<v Speaker 3>Twenty twenty four.

201
00:11:09.279 --> 00:11:12.360
<v Speaker 2>Ryan Brazier, who has been one of these guys the

202
00:11:12.399 --> 00:11:16.480
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers acquired and has been a very good reliever for

203
00:11:16.519 --> 00:11:19.879
<v Speaker 2>them out of the bullpen. Those three arms are coming.

204
00:11:20.600 --> 00:11:25.399
<v Speaker 2>They are That's like three trades right there. Haven't seen

205
00:11:25.440 --> 00:11:29.120
<v Speaker 2>Grove in a while, haven't seen Graderole all year. Forgot

206
00:11:29.159 --> 00:11:33.559
<v Speaker 2>about Brazier. All three of those arms are coming. Help

207
00:11:34.080 --> 00:11:40.080
<v Speaker 2>is coming to a tired bullpen. Help is coming to

208
00:11:40.200 --> 00:11:45.440
<v Speaker 2>an injured and depleted lineup. As far as the rotation

209
00:11:45.600 --> 00:11:50.600
<v Speaker 2>is concerned, they added Jack Flaherty. Glass Now's back is good.

210
00:11:51.320 --> 00:11:55.320
<v Speaker 2>Gavin Stone has been really good. You've got young arms

211
00:11:55.360 --> 00:12:01.639
<v Speaker 2>like River Ryan who have contributed and have been surprises

212
00:12:01.720 --> 00:12:05.960
<v Speaker 2>in eye opening. Justin Rubleski sent back to Triple A.

213
00:12:06.559 --> 00:12:10.799
<v Speaker 2>Did nothing wrong. The Dodgers just brought back Clayton Gershawn

214
00:12:10.960 --> 00:12:16.720
<v Speaker 2>added Jack Flaherty. There is one question mark for me

215
00:12:16.840 --> 00:12:18.600
<v Speaker 2>right now in this rotation.

216
00:12:18.559 --> 00:12:19.000
<v Speaker 3>Not to mention.

217
00:12:19.120 --> 00:12:22.960
<v Speaker 2>Yoshinobo Yamamoto is throwing from distance on flat ground, and

218
00:12:23.039 --> 00:12:29.039
<v Speaker 2>tomorrow Friday is scheduled to throw a bullpen session. He

219
00:12:29.159 --> 00:12:32.360
<v Speaker 2>keeps on that track, he throws another bullpen early next week,

220
00:12:32.679 --> 00:12:35.639
<v Speaker 2>and if that checks the box, he goes out on

221
00:12:35.639 --> 00:12:39.240
<v Speaker 2>a minor league rehab assignments or plays and pitches in

222
00:12:39.360 --> 00:12:44.240
<v Speaker 2>sim games to get built back up. Three innings, thirty

223
00:12:44.279 --> 00:12:48.279
<v Speaker 2>five pitches, four innings, forty to fifty pitches, five innings,

224
00:12:48.480 --> 00:12:52.120
<v Speaker 2>fifty to sixty five pitches, and he'll be back before

225
00:12:52.159 --> 00:12:52.639
<v Speaker 2>you know it.

226
00:12:52.840 --> 00:12:53.200
<v Speaker 3>Again.

227
00:12:53.440 --> 00:12:57.480
<v Speaker 2>Help is coming to the lineup, to the rotation, and

228
00:12:57.519 --> 00:13:02.039
<v Speaker 2>to the bullpen. And with that all being said, there's

229
00:13:02.080 --> 00:13:05.159
<v Speaker 2>still four and a half games up, and they got

230
00:13:05.159 --> 00:13:08.960
<v Speaker 2>two teams who are red hot behind them, who won't

231
00:13:09.000 --> 00:13:12.000
<v Speaker 2>be playing this hot all season.

232
00:13:12.879 --> 00:13:14.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, they've won nine of ten.

233
00:13:14.960 --> 00:13:17.080
<v Speaker 2>If caught and fire a little bit, Corbyn Carroll is

234
00:13:17.080 --> 00:13:19.919
<v Speaker 2>starting to carry a little bit offensively in Arizona. That

235
00:13:20.000 --> 00:13:23.440
<v Speaker 2>offense okay, great, but they're not gonna be able to

236
00:13:23.519 --> 00:13:25.519
<v Speaker 2>keep it up all season long. Nor is this Dodger

237
00:13:25.600 --> 00:13:28.799
<v Speaker 2>team gonna continue to struggle like they are on this

238
00:13:28.919 --> 00:13:29.399
<v Speaker 2>road trip.

239
00:13:29.519 --> 00:13:31.559
<v Speaker 3>Yes, numbers aren't great.

240
00:13:31.960 --> 00:13:34.399
<v Speaker 2>One in four on this road trip, lose two to

241
00:13:34.519 --> 00:13:38.639
<v Speaker 2>three in Houston, drop both games in San Diego on

242
00:13:38.679 --> 00:13:41.960
<v Speaker 2>this road trip, five games, hitting one to eighty eight.

243
00:13:41.840 --> 00:13:45.279
<v Speaker 3>Collectively with sixty six strikeouts. Yeah, that doesn't look good.

244
00:13:45.320 --> 00:13:46.799
<v Speaker 3>It doesn't sound good.

245
00:13:47.399 --> 00:13:53.080
<v Speaker 2>It's not good, But I'm pretty convinced things will level out.

246
00:13:53.200 --> 00:13:56.879
<v Speaker 2>They do in baseball, it's a funny game. For the

247
00:13:56.919 --> 00:14:00.200
<v Speaker 2>most part, You're not gonna suck for very long. You're

248
00:14:00.200 --> 00:14:03.159
<v Speaker 2>not gonna actually go out there and win ninety percent

249
00:14:03.159 --> 00:14:06.759
<v Speaker 2>of your games either. Usually you kind of find the

250
00:14:06.799 --> 00:14:10.039
<v Speaker 2>happy medium. Usually you find a groove at where you're

251
00:14:10.039 --> 00:14:11.960
<v Speaker 2>at that year. Now you can be a team like

252
00:14:12.000 --> 00:14:16.679
<v Speaker 2>the White Sox. Sure, you do stink, and you are

253
00:14:16.720 --> 00:14:19.679
<v Speaker 2>gonna lose a ton of games, and you're gonna have

254
00:14:19.840 --> 00:14:23.799
<v Speaker 2>long losing streaks because you're the White Sox and the

255
00:14:23.879 --> 00:14:27.320
<v Speaker 2>talent is not there. But the Dodgers have the talent,

256
00:14:27.799 --> 00:14:32.039
<v Speaker 2>they got the depth, and they're gonna turn it around.

257
00:14:32.639 --> 00:14:34.759
<v Speaker 2>This is a mini blip on a one hundred and

258
00:14:34.840 --> 00:14:39.279
<v Speaker 2>sixty two game schedule. Convince me otherwise. Eight sixty six,

259
00:14:39.679 --> 00:14:42.759
<v Speaker 2>nine eighty seven, two five seventy. Now I mentioned Freddy Freeman.

260
00:14:42.919 --> 00:14:47.200
<v Speaker 2>He's been out since the Houston series. He left right

261
00:14:47.360 --> 00:14:49.799
<v Speaker 2>soon as the Dodgers got on this road trip. A

262
00:14:49.879 --> 00:14:52.960
<v Speaker 2>minute mid park. He got on a plane and flew

263
00:14:52.960 --> 00:14:56.159
<v Speaker 2>back home and he came back to be with his family.

264
00:14:57.360 --> 00:14:59.919
<v Speaker 2>And we've got an update. Now I want to pas.

265
00:15:01.279 --> 00:15:04.759
<v Speaker 2>This comes from Freddie Freeman and his wife Chelsea posted

266
00:15:04.799 --> 00:15:09.279
<v Speaker 2>a joint statement on Instagram just about.

267
00:15:08.639 --> 00:15:09.440
<v Speaker 3>An hour ago.

268
00:15:09.720 --> 00:15:13.480
<v Speaker 2>A little over an hour ago, Freddie Freeman again who

269
00:15:13.519 --> 00:15:16.799
<v Speaker 2>has been placed on the Emergency Family List last weekend.

270
00:15:17.559 --> 00:15:20.279
<v Speaker 2>Him and his wife revealed today on Instagram at their

271
00:15:20.320 --> 00:15:23.840
<v Speaker 2>three year old sound Maximus, is suffering from a gillion

272
00:15:24.080 --> 00:15:30.200
<v Speaker 2>Barret syndrome. It's a rare neurological disorder and the family

273
00:15:30.240 --> 00:15:33.559
<v Speaker 2>has been huddled together with doctors at a local hospital

274
00:15:33.600 --> 00:15:37.440
<v Speaker 2>here in southern California, and they said that he has

275
00:15:37.480 --> 00:15:41.840
<v Speaker 2>shown significant improvement praise God for that the past forty

276
00:15:41.879 --> 00:15:46.000
<v Speaker 2>eight hours, and he has had his breathing tube taken

277
00:15:46.039 --> 00:15:48.720
<v Speaker 2>out and he's been taken off a ventilator. This is

278
00:15:48.840 --> 00:15:54.480
<v Speaker 2>all great news. It is a condition that attacks the

279
00:15:54.480 --> 00:15:59.559
<v Speaker 2>body's immune system and the nerves. It's very very rare,

280
00:16:00.120 --> 00:16:06.080
<v Speaker 2>even more rare in children. Somehow he came across it.

281
00:16:06.080 --> 00:16:11.080
<v Speaker 2>It affects weakness, numbness, paralysis. There's no known cure, but

282
00:16:11.440 --> 00:16:15.000
<v Speaker 2>people recover from it, and it's a battle you have

283
00:16:15.080 --> 00:16:18.200
<v Speaker 2>to fight through, and this young three year old Maximus

284
00:16:18.240 --> 00:16:21.360
<v Speaker 2>is fighting a good fight. A lot of prayers going

285
00:16:21.399 --> 00:16:23.960
<v Speaker 2>their way to that family, and they want to thank

286
00:16:24.039 --> 00:16:28.799
<v Speaker 2>everybody for those prayers. And his condition, as they said,

287
00:16:29.120 --> 00:16:32.000
<v Speaker 2>rapidly declined at one point he was in full paralysis,

288
00:16:32.080 --> 00:16:36.120
<v Speaker 2>but things have dramatically turned around, so that is great news.

289
00:16:36.159 --> 00:16:38.399
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to read you the whole quote here from

290
00:16:38.399 --> 00:16:42.360
<v Speaker 2>the family, but certainly good news all around that Freddie

291
00:16:42.399 --> 00:16:45.600
<v Speaker 2>Freeman's young three year old son looks like he has

292
00:16:45.639 --> 00:16:49.159
<v Speaker 2>taken a turn for the recovery, and that is awesome.

293
00:16:49.519 --> 00:16:53.159
<v Speaker 2>Eight sixty six nine eighty seven two five seventy is

294
00:16:53.240 --> 00:16:56.120
<v Speaker 2>the number. Eight sixty six nine eighty seven two five

295
00:16:56.279 --> 00:16:59.879
<v Speaker 2>seventy in the full statement from Freddy in his.

296
00:16:59.799 --> 00:17:01.960
<v Speaker 3>One make sure I want to read it here for

297
00:17:02.080 --> 00:17:05.319
<v Speaker 3>you where it is there you go.

298
00:17:05.960 --> 00:17:09.400
<v Speaker 2>Last Friday, Max rapidly the cline went into full body paralysis.

299
00:17:09.480 --> 00:17:11.839
<v Speaker 2>We are very fortunate to have gotten him to the

300
00:17:11.839 --> 00:17:14.880
<v Speaker 2>hospital in time so they can reinforce his lungs. Freddie

301
00:17:14.920 --> 00:17:16.519
<v Speaker 2>was in Houston at the time and rushed to the

302
00:17:16.559 --> 00:17:19.440
<v Speaker 2>first flight back home. After many tests, maxis battling the

303
00:17:19.440 --> 00:17:22.720
<v Speaker 2>severe case of Gillian Barry syndrome, a rare neurological condition

304
00:17:22.759 --> 00:17:25.279
<v Speaker 2>that is especially rare in children. These have been the

305
00:17:25.319 --> 00:17:27.839
<v Speaker 2>hardest and scariest days of our lives. Maximus is such

306
00:17:27.839 --> 00:17:30.720
<v Speaker 2>a special boy and has been fighting so hard. This

307
00:17:30.759 --> 00:17:33.480
<v Speaker 2>is going to be a journey to recovery, but we

308
00:17:33.559 --> 00:17:36.640
<v Speaker 2>have faith that he will completely heal. We have been

309
00:17:36.680 --> 00:17:39.640
<v Speaker 2>blown away by his improvements in the last forty eight hours.

310
00:17:39.640 --> 00:17:42.039
<v Speaker 3>That is awesome. Maximus was a vacuum.

311
00:17:44.440 --> 00:17:46.680
<v Speaker 2>He was taking off his breathing to him and taken

312
00:17:46.680 --> 00:17:49.440
<v Speaker 2>off the ventilator yesterday, which is a huge win for us. Again,

313
00:17:49.480 --> 00:17:51.640
<v Speaker 2>this is from the Freemans. We believe in the power

314
00:17:51.680 --> 00:17:53.720
<v Speaker 2>of prayer and we have been witnessing a miracle in

315
00:17:53.799 --> 00:17:57.599
<v Speaker 2>his recovery. Amen, please continue to cover Maximus and our

316
00:17:57.640 --> 00:18:00.839
<v Speaker 2>family and your prayers. We really appreciate and felt it

317
00:18:01.039 --> 00:18:04.519
<v Speaker 2>all your support. Again, that is from Freddie Freeman and

318
00:18:04.559 --> 00:18:06.559
<v Speaker 2>his wife Chelsea in their entire family. So that is

319
00:18:06.599 --> 00:18:08.680
<v Speaker 2>some positive news. Now, when is Freddie Freeman go to

320
00:18:08.759 --> 00:18:09.640
<v Speaker 2>be back back on the field.

321
00:18:09.880 --> 00:18:14.359
<v Speaker 3>Who knows? This is an important situation that needs to

322
00:18:14.359 --> 00:18:14.880
<v Speaker 3>be handled.

323
00:18:15.000 --> 00:18:18.079
<v Speaker 2>It's family. It's family first. You take care of that

324
00:18:18.480 --> 00:18:22.000
<v Speaker 2>and whenever the right time is and who's to decide

325
00:18:22.039 --> 00:18:24.720
<v Speaker 2>what time that is? Well, Freddie and his wife and

326
00:18:24.720 --> 00:18:27.160
<v Speaker 2>his family are the ones to decide that he will

327
00:18:27.160 --> 00:18:31.559
<v Speaker 2>rejoin this Dodgers team. In the meantime, the Dodgers will

328
00:18:31.559 --> 00:18:34.599
<v Speaker 2>start a series in Oakland tomorrow and going to get

329
00:18:34.640 --> 00:18:35.039
<v Speaker 2>into it in.

330
00:18:35.000 --> 00:18:35.519
<v Speaker 3>A little bit.

331
00:18:35.759 --> 00:18:39.359
<v Speaker 2>Why this series is special because the Dodgers don't go

332
00:18:39.359 --> 00:18:42.359
<v Speaker 2>to Oakland often, and one of the times they went

333
00:18:42.400 --> 00:18:45.359
<v Speaker 2>there many years ago, something special happen. Let's get out

334
00:18:45.359 --> 00:18:47.519
<v Speaker 2>to the phones. Eight sixty six, nine eighty seven, two

335
00:18:47.559 --> 00:18:50.480
<v Speaker 2>five seventy. Let's go to Diana and Granada Hill starting

336
00:18:50.480 --> 00:18:52.039
<v Speaker 2>the things off here on this Thursday night.

337
00:18:52.119 --> 00:18:56.039
<v Speaker 3>Hi Diana, Hi Keim, how are you? I'm doing Gray,

338
00:18:56.039 --> 00:18:56.559
<v Speaker 3>what's going on?

339
00:18:58.039 --> 00:18:58.319
<v Speaker 4>Well?

340
00:18:58.359 --> 00:19:00.279
<v Speaker 5>First off, I want to say that I am saying

341
00:19:00.279 --> 00:19:03.920
<v Speaker 5>for Freddie Maximus and his family. That's that's just huge.

342
00:19:05.279 --> 00:19:09.480
<v Speaker 5>But anyway, so last night you were talking about the

343
00:19:09.519 --> 00:19:11.839
<v Speaker 5>potential need for a raw, raw guy to be on

344
00:19:11.920 --> 00:19:16.279
<v Speaker 5>the team, and my question is this, I just wonder

345
00:19:16.319 --> 00:19:20.160
<v Speaker 5>about the guys on the injury list now, mainly Mookie

346
00:19:20.200 --> 00:19:23.039
<v Speaker 5>and Max Muncy, Like, why aren't they with the team

347
00:19:23.160 --> 00:19:25.240
<v Speaker 5>currently supporting their teammates.

348
00:19:25.319 --> 00:19:26.319
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, a lot of times.

349
00:19:26.319 --> 00:19:28.599
<v Speaker 2>And I appreciate Diana, thanks for that and for the

350
00:19:28.640 --> 00:19:32.119
<v Speaker 2>positive thoughts for the Freeman family. Again, so good news.

351
00:19:32.200 --> 00:19:35.480
<v Speaker 2>The young massimist is off the ventilator and breathing Tuban

352
00:19:35.519 --> 00:19:38.920
<v Speaker 2>has appeared to have turned the corner and continue to

353
00:19:38.960 --> 00:19:41.759
<v Speaker 2>continue to turn the corner. But to your question about

354
00:19:41.960 --> 00:19:46.480
<v Speaker 2>the injured list. Guys who are rehabbing can get more

355
00:19:46.640 --> 00:19:50.519
<v Speaker 2>done either at Dodger Stadium with the physical training staff

356
00:19:51.160 --> 00:19:54.039
<v Speaker 2>or in Arizona Cowback Raanch where you got a full

357
00:19:54.039 --> 00:19:56.440
<v Speaker 2>staff there as well. You don't necessarily have to be

358
00:19:56.519 --> 00:19:59.799
<v Speaker 2>with the team on the road. In Houston, you know,

359
00:19:59.839 --> 00:20:02.440
<v Speaker 2>they they have a traveling staff, they have an athletic trainer,

360
00:20:02.480 --> 00:20:05.599
<v Speaker 2>they have all that, Yes, but you can get more

361
00:20:05.799 --> 00:20:10.839
<v Speaker 2>specialized individual work done at Dodger Stadium with the full

362
00:20:10.880 --> 00:20:13.759
<v Speaker 2>weight room and everything that's there. At Dodger Stadium, you

363
00:20:13.920 --> 00:20:17.359
<v Speaker 2>throw bullpen sessions, things get videoed. It's not just like

364
00:20:17.480 --> 00:20:19.920
<v Speaker 2>Dave Roberts and the front office or three or four

365
00:20:19.960 --> 00:20:23.119
<v Speaker 2>people can have to see it. And so wherever they're

366
00:20:23.160 --> 00:20:25.960
<v Speaker 2>at on the road, you gotta go there. No things

367
00:20:25.960 --> 00:20:29.519
<v Speaker 2>can be done away from the team, And that's what

368
00:20:29.599 --> 00:20:32.240
<v Speaker 2>happens a lot, especially if you're rehabbing to Tommy John surgery.

369
00:20:32.400 --> 00:20:34.599
<v Speaker 2>A lot of these guys they're not even with the

370
00:20:34.640 --> 00:20:37.160
<v Speaker 2>team all year, and for home games, all of a sudden,

371
00:20:37.160 --> 00:20:38.880
<v Speaker 2>they'll pop up in a dugout and you're like, hey,

372
00:20:39.000 --> 00:20:42.279
<v Speaker 2>there's Dustin May, Hey, there's Clayton Kershaw, Hey, there's Tony

373
00:20:42.319 --> 00:20:45.079
<v Speaker 2>Gonsolin's an example. Tony Gonsolin doesn't travel with the team,

374
00:20:45.079 --> 00:20:46.680
<v Speaker 2>but you see him at the Dodger Stadium in the

375
00:20:46.720 --> 00:20:48.839
<v Speaker 2>dugout for home games a lot of the times. Yeah,

376
00:20:48.920 --> 00:20:51.720
<v Speaker 2>because he's rehabiting and working out and he's at Dodger Stadium.

377
00:20:51.720 --> 00:20:54.079
<v Speaker 2>When the team's on the road, he's at Dodger Stadium

378
00:20:54.279 --> 00:20:57.279
<v Speaker 2>working out their facility, strengthening in his arm, going through

379
00:20:57.359 --> 00:20:59.039
<v Speaker 2>the routine of returning from.

380
00:20:58.880 --> 00:20:59.880
<v Speaker 3>Tommy John surgery.

381
00:21:00.079 --> 00:21:02.240
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, they don't have to be with the actual

382
00:21:02.279 --> 00:21:04.359
<v Speaker 2>team in the dugout at the stadium on the road,

383
00:21:04.359 --> 00:21:07.680
<v Speaker 2>wherever that city may be. They can get it done elsewhere.

384
00:21:07.680 --> 00:21:10.680
<v Speaker 2>Eight seventy real quick, we'll take it one more call

385
00:21:10.720 --> 00:21:12.720
<v Speaker 2>before we can take a break. Kevin in Culver City

386
00:21:13.039 --> 00:21:14.400
<v Speaker 2>is next up here on Dodge Talf.

387
00:21:14.400 --> 00:21:15.400
<v Speaker 3>What's up, Kevin? How you doing?

388
00:21:15.440 --> 00:21:15.599
<v Speaker 1>Man?

389
00:21:16.839 --> 00:21:20.680
<v Speaker 6>Well, thank god, everything's okay. With little Maximums. There's only

390
00:21:20.720 --> 00:21:23.680
<v Speaker 6>one reason to have it after the other guy. Everybody's

391
00:21:23.680 --> 00:21:26.079
<v Speaker 6>in praying. He's been in my thoughts. Praise the family.

392
00:21:26.160 --> 00:21:29.480
<v Speaker 6>So that's number one. I'm just happy to get that news.

393
00:21:29.519 --> 00:21:33.440
<v Speaker 6>That's that's like, that's like a four series Dodger wins

394
00:21:33.440 --> 00:21:38.200
<v Speaker 6>for me. So I'm doing cartwheels after you delivered that news.

395
00:21:38.960 --> 00:21:41.880
<v Speaker 6>Great job on that, Tommy. Back to the team, man,

396
00:21:42.000 --> 00:21:46.160
<v Speaker 6>yo yo. Jack Flaherty coming to Dodgers is huge. He's

397
00:21:46.200 --> 00:21:49.519
<v Speaker 6>been my guy. I mean, Harvard Westlake, Burbank's finest. I

398
00:21:49.559 --> 00:21:52.319
<v Speaker 6>mean he was talking about the Mama mentality, Kobe Bryant.

399
00:21:52.599 --> 00:21:54.480
<v Speaker 6>I mean, this is huge for La and he wants

400
00:21:54.519 --> 00:21:56.920
<v Speaker 6>to be here. Like when you look at this team,

401
00:21:57.200 --> 00:21:59.359
<v Speaker 6>I remember there was one game just Marionnate on this

402
00:21:59.400 --> 00:22:02.759
<v Speaker 6>real quickkr Bueller and Jack Claridy pitched against each other.

403
00:22:03.000 --> 00:22:04.839
<v Speaker 6>I said, want to be something for these two guys

404
00:22:04.880 --> 00:22:07.200
<v Speaker 6>to be on the same team. And he's finally here.

405
00:22:07.759 --> 00:22:10.279
<v Speaker 6>And when you look at this roster, we could potentially

406
00:22:10.279 --> 00:22:13.440
<v Speaker 6>in the playoffs have Tyler Glass now, Jack Clarity, Gavin

407
00:22:13.519 --> 00:22:18.920
<v Speaker 6>stone Yovanodu Kursaw and possibly Bueler for a playoff run

408
00:22:19.119 --> 00:22:22.440
<v Speaker 6>with Coca in the bullpen as possible. I think that's

409
00:22:22.480 --> 00:22:24.680
<v Speaker 6>our closer, by the way, throwing one hundred miles an hour.

410
00:22:24.920 --> 00:22:27.519
<v Speaker 6>We got a deep dep rotation. Andrew Freeman is a

411
00:22:27.559 --> 00:22:30.119
<v Speaker 6>beast out on the trades, and then we got a

412
00:22:30.119 --> 00:22:33.640
<v Speaker 6>factory in Mookie betts Otani and Freddie Freeman aren't together

413
00:22:33.759 --> 00:22:35.720
<v Speaker 6>with Will Smith where he's supposed to be in Munsey.

414
00:22:36.160 --> 00:22:38.960
<v Speaker 6>This is a world Series team. Everybody calmed down. This

415
00:22:39.039 --> 00:22:41.880
<v Speaker 6>is a deep, deep squad. The Dodgers know what they're doing,

416
00:22:42.519 --> 00:22:44.839
<v Speaker 6>and Jack Clarity is gonna be huge for this team

417
00:22:44.880 --> 00:22:47.839
<v Speaker 6>down the stretch. A seven inning bulldog in La in

418
00:22:47.960 --> 00:22:50.839
<v Speaker 6>Kobe Town's, oh, forget about it. This is big stuff.

419
00:22:50.880 --> 00:22:54.279
<v Speaker 6>This is a huge, huge trade. Nobody's talking about. This

420
00:22:54.319 --> 00:22:57.599
<v Speaker 6>is big, big for the city. Clarity and Glasshuw together,

421
00:22:57.680 --> 00:22:59.200
<v Speaker 6>that's the one two punch I want to have for

422
00:22:59.200 --> 00:23:00.000
<v Speaker 6>a World Series run.

423
00:23:00.119 --> 00:23:00.440
<v Speaker 3>I love.

424
00:23:00.680 --> 00:23:01.359
<v Speaker 6>I appreciate it.

425
00:23:01.400 --> 00:23:01.680
<v Speaker 7>All right.

426
00:23:01.680 --> 00:23:04.759
<v Speaker 2>I appreciate that. Kevin Harvard westlay Heart High School stand up.

427
00:23:04.799 --> 00:23:08.839
<v Speaker 2>Let's go Dodgers front of the rotation now, last two

<v Speaker 2>Oakland for the final time ever as the team moves

450
00:24:18.279 --> 00:24:20.759
<v Speaker 2>to Las Vegas. But before they actually get to Vegas

451
00:24:20.799 --> 00:24:22.880
<v Speaker 2>in twenty twenty eight, there has been a few seasons

452
00:24:23.079 --> 00:24:27.039
<v Speaker 2>playing in a Triple A facility in Sacramento. It's gotten

453
00:24:27.079 --> 00:24:31.160
<v Speaker 2>really contentious up there. Between the Council of Oakland and

454
00:24:31.279 --> 00:24:35.400
<v Speaker 2>the city and the organization the Oakland A's. So they

455
00:24:35.480 --> 00:24:37.920
<v Speaker 2>are calling it quits and leaving after this year. And

456
00:24:38.200 --> 00:24:42.079
<v Speaker 2>got me remembering some of the moments in Oakland for

457
00:24:42.160 --> 00:24:44.759
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers, and there's not a lot of them because

458
00:24:44.839 --> 00:24:46.680
<v Speaker 2>they didn't play each other for a long time being

459
00:24:46.720 --> 00:24:50.200
<v Speaker 2>the American League and National League and then Interleague started

460
00:24:50.599 --> 00:24:53.680
<v Speaker 2>years ago, and the Dodgers have been making trips to Oakland.

461
00:24:53.680 --> 00:24:55.759
<v Speaker 2>I remember a time where Clayton Kershaw got so madd

462
00:24:55.759 --> 00:24:58.480
<v Speaker 2>he threw the ball against the wall in Oakland. That

463
00:24:58.519 --> 00:25:01.640
<v Speaker 2>was kind of a funny little memory. Certainly, it's a

464
00:25:01.720 --> 00:25:06.480
<v Speaker 2>different stadium, it's an old stadium, and the Dodgers have

465
00:25:06.559 --> 00:25:08.319
<v Speaker 2>some history there. All you gotta do is go back

466
00:25:08.359 --> 00:25:11.359
<v Speaker 2>to nineteen eighty eight. Remember the World Series the Dodgers

467
00:25:11.400 --> 00:25:14.359
<v Speaker 2>and the Big Bad Bash Brothers of the Oakland A's

468
00:25:14.680 --> 00:25:18.119
<v Speaker 2>with Tony Laruss at the Helm, Jose Canseco and Mark McGuire,

469
00:25:18.160 --> 00:25:20.359
<v Speaker 2>and they squared off in the eighty eight World Series.

470
00:25:20.359 --> 00:25:22.680
<v Speaker 2>We know happening Game one of course, Kurt Gibson the

471
00:25:22.680 --> 00:25:25.559
<v Speaker 2>home run off Dennis Eckersley at Dodgers Stadium on that

472
00:25:25.599 --> 00:25:28.400
<v Speaker 2>October fifteenth, ninth Dodgers take a one zero series lead.

473
00:25:28.680 --> 00:25:30.640
<v Speaker 2>The next night they come back and they shut out

474
00:25:30.640 --> 00:25:33.880
<v Speaker 2>the A's six to nothing. Game three up at the Oakland,

475
00:25:33.880 --> 00:25:36.359
<v Speaker 2>Alameda County Coliseum. The A's came back at one two

476
00:25:36.440 --> 00:25:40.400
<v Speaker 2>to one. Dodgers won Game four the next night with

477
00:25:40.519 --> 00:25:42.559
<v Speaker 2>a four to three win to go up three to

478
00:25:42.559 --> 00:25:46.720
<v Speaker 2>one in the best of seven series. October twentieth, nineteen

479
00:25:46.839 --> 00:25:51.359
<v Speaker 2>eighty eight, Dodgers in Oakland at the Oakland Alameda County Coliseum,

480
00:25:51.720 --> 00:25:54.480
<v Speaker 2>taken on the A's at night, in which the Bulldog

481
00:25:54.599 --> 00:25:57.640
<v Speaker 2>Oral Herscheizer helped clinch a World Series.

482
00:25:58.559 --> 00:25:59.440
<v Speaker 1>Green too to.

483
00:26:01.079 --> 00:26:04.960
<v Speaker 8>Lansford down the line from third with two out, Steinbach

484
00:26:05.079 --> 00:26:08.319
<v Speaker 8>on deck five, two Dodgers in the ninth.

485
00:26:12.160 --> 00:26:15.319
<v Speaker 3>Got him. They've done it, Like the.

486
00:26:15.319 --> 00:26:19.799
<v Speaker 8>Nineteen sixty nine Mets, which the Impossible.

487
00:26:19.119 --> 00:26:21.319
<v Speaker 9>Dream revisited.

488
00:26:24.240 --> 00:26:29.640
<v Speaker 8>A basketball nine strikeouts for Hersheiser. He gives up a

489
00:26:29.720 --> 00:26:31.200
<v Speaker 8>total of four hits.

490
00:26:30.960 --> 00:26:32.079
<v Speaker 2>And look at the club.

491
00:26:32.960 --> 00:26:35.400
<v Speaker 3>It looked like he was going to be replaced.

492
00:26:34.839 --> 00:26:37.960
<v Speaker 8>But we hung in her pull dog is quitting and

493
00:26:38.119 --> 00:26:42.799
<v Speaker 8>meanwhile Jose Canseco quietly goes back to the dressing room.

494
00:26:42.920 --> 00:26:46.160
<v Speaker 8>The biggest single gun in the open now let its

495
00:26:46.480 --> 00:26:51.839
<v Speaker 8>thoroughly muffled in the series, Mister Horror Herscheiser Senior can

496
00:26:51.960 --> 00:26:56.079
<v Speaker 8>finally relax for a moment. The A's a great hitting

497
00:26:56.160 --> 00:27:00.559
<v Speaker 8>ball club, n one seventy seven in the series and

498
00:27:00.720 --> 00:27:05.440
<v Speaker 8>scored a total of eleven runners in five games. Never

499
00:27:05.480 --> 00:27:08.400
<v Speaker 8>would have believed that unless you saw it. You'd have

500
00:27:08.480 --> 00:27:12.079
<v Speaker 8>to attribute it to pretty good pitching, very good pitching,

501
00:27:13.160 --> 00:27:17.160
<v Speaker 8>and especially by the leader on the staff, the master

502
00:27:17.319 --> 00:27:20.200
<v Speaker 8>of the house or Hersheiser.

503
00:27:20.000 --> 00:27:23.240
<v Speaker 2>One at night for Oral Hersheisers. The Dodgers won the

504
00:27:23.319 --> 00:27:26.599
<v Speaker 2>nineteen eighty eight World Series, beating the Oakland A's five

505
00:27:26.640 --> 00:27:30.000
<v Speaker 2>to two on the field there at the Oakland Alameda

506
00:27:30.039 --> 00:27:32.559
<v Speaker 2>County Colls scene with the Dodgers will play for the

507
00:27:32.599 --> 00:27:35.920
<v Speaker 2>final time this weekend. Who will ever forget that scene?

508
00:27:36.359 --> 00:27:40.240
<v Speaker 2>The strikeouts putting both fists up in the air, Rick

509
00:27:40.319 --> 00:27:43.720
<v Speaker 2>Dempsey jumping up and hugging and clutching on the Oral

510
00:27:43.759 --> 00:27:47.240
<v Speaker 2>Herscheiser and the Dodger players then surrounding them and jumping

511
00:27:47.279 --> 00:27:50.240
<v Speaker 2>in joy. And the celebration that occurred on the field

512
00:27:50.279 --> 00:27:53.839
<v Speaker 2>there in Oakland against the A's back in nineteen eighty eight,

513
00:27:53.920 --> 00:27:56.359
<v Speaker 2>Oral Herseeizer, by the way, Game five of that World Series,

514
00:27:56.839 --> 00:28:01.920
<v Speaker 2>Complete Game two runs, four hits, struck out nine in

515
00:28:01.960 --> 00:28:04.200
<v Speaker 2>getting the win. He finished two to zero in that

516
00:28:04.359 --> 00:28:07.200
<v Speaker 2>World Series. So the Dodgers tomorrow will start a three

517
00:28:07.240 --> 00:28:10.519
<v Speaker 2>game series final trip to Oakland. Ever, and that goes

518
00:28:10.559 --> 00:28:13.079
<v Speaker 2>back to nineteen eighty eight with that magical moment on

519
00:28:13.119 --> 00:28:17.400
<v Speaker 2>the field at the Oakland Alameda County Coliseum. Tony and

520
00:28:17.440 --> 00:28:19.200
<v Speaker 2>Waittier is next up here on Dodge Talk on a

521
00:28:19.240 --> 00:28:20.359
<v Speaker 2>five to seventy LA Sports.

522
00:28:20.400 --> 00:28:22.079
<v Speaker 3>Hi, Tony, how are you hey?

523
00:28:22.079 --> 00:28:25.400
<v Speaker 10>It was going on tim that much. I have a question,

524
00:28:25.400 --> 00:28:26.799
<v Speaker 10>Well not even a question, but I just kind of

525
00:28:26.799 --> 00:28:28.680
<v Speaker 10>want to say, I'm kind of liking this adversity to

526
00:28:28.720 --> 00:28:31.200
<v Speaker 10>do this team station because let's be honest, they haven't

527
00:28:31.240 --> 00:28:33.400
<v Speaker 10>played any meaningful games in August or September in a

528
00:28:33.440 --> 00:28:36.240
<v Speaker 10>couple of seasons. So I mean I might, I might even, Okay,

529
00:28:36.240 --> 00:28:38.000
<v Speaker 10>if the lead gets even, you know, a little bit

530
00:28:38.000 --> 00:28:40.559
<v Speaker 10>smaller than that in the division. They need to university.

531
00:28:41.119 --> 00:28:43.880
<v Speaker 10>They need to play meaningful games in August and September.

532
00:28:44.039 --> 00:28:44.279
<v Speaker 7>Again.

533
00:28:44.319 --> 00:28:45.359
<v Speaker 10>I'm ready for the postseason.

534
00:28:45.400 --> 00:28:47.720
<v Speaker 4>I'm all for this. That's just that's just righting to

535
00:28:48.079 --> 00:28:49.720
<v Speaker 4>let's just riding and see how far they can take it.

536
00:28:50.200 --> 00:28:52.519
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think it depends on how they face the

537
00:28:52.559 --> 00:28:55.920
<v Speaker 2>adversity and how they get past that adversity. How do

538
00:28:55.960 --> 00:28:59.680
<v Speaker 2>they handle it? And to your point, we haven't seen

539
00:28:59.720 --> 00:29:02.319
<v Speaker 2>them a lot of adversity in the regular season, so

540
00:29:02.400 --> 00:29:05.079
<v Speaker 2>quite frankly, I don't know how some of these players

541
00:29:05.160 --> 00:29:08.000
<v Speaker 2>individually are gonna handle it, and certainly this collective group

542
00:29:08.039 --> 00:29:10.759
<v Speaker 2>here in twenty twenty four, it's been so many injuries

543
00:29:10.759 --> 00:29:13.119
<v Speaker 2>and so many guys coming in and out of that clubhouse.

544
00:29:13.680 --> 00:29:16.480
<v Speaker 2>I don't know how they're gonna handle this adversity. You

545
00:29:16.480 --> 00:29:20.039
<v Speaker 2>look at this team over the last five games, certainly

546
00:29:20.240 --> 00:29:23.799
<v Speaker 2>haven't handled things well, not having their three boppers in

547
00:29:23.880 --> 00:29:26.720
<v Speaker 2>the lineup, having Max Munsey gone for a while, having

548
00:29:26.759 --> 00:29:29.519
<v Speaker 2>Freddie Freeman out with the family emergency, and having Mookie

549
00:29:29.559 --> 00:29:32.680
<v Speaker 2>Betts out for the last month. The Dodgers on the

550
00:29:32.759 --> 00:29:35.359
<v Speaker 2>road have not been able to come over that adversity.

551
00:29:35.400 --> 00:29:36.960
<v Speaker 2>But you go back to what they've done at home

552
00:29:37.480 --> 00:29:40.359
<v Speaker 2>post All Star Break, the Dodgers were really good and

553
00:29:40.359 --> 00:29:42.880
<v Speaker 2>then they win five of six to come out of

554
00:29:42.880 --> 00:29:46.759
<v Speaker 2>the All Star Break. At home, the Dodgers, for whatever reason,

555
00:29:47.359 --> 00:29:52.960
<v Speaker 2>away from the ravine, just haven't been a very good team.

556
00:29:53.480 --> 00:29:55.119
<v Speaker 2>They won six of seven. That's what it was they

557
00:29:55.119 --> 00:29:57.319
<v Speaker 2>went six and one at home, three or four from

558
00:29:57.359 --> 00:29:59.240
<v Speaker 2>the Giants, and they swept the Boston Red Sox in

559
00:29:59.279 --> 00:30:03.200
<v Speaker 2>those three games to start the post All Star break. So, yeah,

560
00:30:03.359 --> 00:30:07.839
<v Speaker 2>this group is gonna face adversity. I'm so curious to

561
00:30:07.960 --> 00:30:11.559
<v Speaker 2>see how they face it and overcome it. And I

562
00:30:11.599 --> 00:30:15.480
<v Speaker 2>think it is a good thing, absolutely, because they test you.

563
00:30:16.079 --> 00:30:19.880
<v Speaker 2>It tests you individually, it'll test this group collectively, maybe

564
00:30:20.000 --> 00:30:22.119
<v Speaker 2>force them to come together a little bit better. Maybe

565
00:30:22.119 --> 00:30:24.400
<v Speaker 2>you find out more about the teammate to your left

566
00:30:24.400 --> 00:30:26.599
<v Speaker 2>in the clubhouse, to your right in the clubhouse, find

567
00:30:26.640 --> 00:30:29.319
<v Speaker 2>out a little bit more about them, how they're they're wired.

568
00:30:30.079 --> 00:30:32.599
<v Speaker 2>And knowing that going into October, when you face that

569
00:30:32.640 --> 00:30:36.079
<v Speaker 2>adversity again, whether it's a tough pitching matchup, whether it's

570
00:30:36.119 --> 00:30:39.119
<v Speaker 2>a tough situation, a mistake on the field that you

571
00:30:39.160 --> 00:30:42.759
<v Speaker 2>cannot let it grow and an air on the field

572
00:30:42.839 --> 00:30:45.480
<v Speaker 2>let more runs come in. You got to squash that,

573
00:30:45.480 --> 00:30:48.960
<v Speaker 2>that that blip on the field as quick as possible. Yeah,

574
00:30:49.119 --> 00:30:51.079
<v Speaker 2>we'll find out what this group is all about here,

575
00:30:51.160 --> 00:30:54.440
<v Speaker 2>certainly in the next few weeks. Eight sixty six, nine

576
00:30:54.440 --> 00:30:57.039
<v Speaker 2>eighty seven, two five seventy. I mentioned the Summer Olympics

577
00:30:57.039 --> 00:30:59.839
<v Speaker 2>are going on right now, and there's no baseball in

578
00:30:59.839 --> 00:31:03.400
<v Speaker 2>the twenty twenty four Summer Games over in Paris.

579
00:31:03.720 --> 00:31:05.000
<v Speaker 3>Now, there were.

580
00:31:05.319 --> 00:31:08.839
<v Speaker 2>Games in the twenty twenty Tokyo Olympics. That's because Tokyo

581
00:31:09.160 --> 00:31:11.920
<v Speaker 2>elected to have him as a temporary game as the

582
00:31:12.000 --> 00:31:18.000
<v Speaker 2>host country Japan. Now, baseball was an exhibition sport for many,

583
00:31:18.000 --> 00:31:20.920
<v Speaker 2>many years when the Olympics were here in nineteen eighty four.

584
00:31:21.359 --> 00:31:25.200
<v Speaker 2>I'm old enough to have gone to those Olympics at

585
00:31:25.200 --> 00:31:29.039
<v Speaker 2>the nineteen eighty four games at Dodger Stadium. I've got

586
00:31:29.079 --> 00:31:32.839
<v Speaker 2>a team program still from the eighty four Games that

587
00:31:33.039 --> 00:31:37.200
<v Speaker 2>has team pitchers and rosters of every team that was there, Australia,

588
00:31:37.519 --> 00:31:42.359
<v Speaker 2>Dominican Republic, Canada, US, Great Britain. I forgot who else

589
00:31:42.400 --> 00:31:45.640
<v Speaker 2>was that. Japan was there, Korea was there as well,

590
00:31:46.119 --> 00:31:49.640
<v Speaker 2>And years later that was nineteen eighty four, nineteen ninety four.

591
00:31:50.079 --> 00:31:53.759
<v Speaker 2>This is how old I am. Nineteen ninety four. Ten

592
00:31:53.839 --> 00:31:57.680
<v Speaker 2>years later there was a baseball card convention in Anaheim,

593
00:31:58.400 --> 00:32:00.880
<v Speaker 2>and I think it was the national the big one

594
00:32:00.880 --> 00:32:04.000
<v Speaker 2>that goes around the country. And that was ten years

595
00:32:04.039 --> 00:32:07.720
<v Speaker 2>after the eighty four Olympic team, and many of those players,

596
00:32:07.960 --> 00:32:15.119
<v Speaker 2>including mcbarry Larkin, were there signing autographs, guys like Scott Bankkhead,

597
00:32:15.240 --> 00:32:18.640
<v Speaker 2>Roger McDowell, I mean, Rod Dato was the coach, and

598
00:32:18.839 --> 00:32:22.920
<v Speaker 2>God rest his soul. It was pretty cool. It was

599
00:32:22.920 --> 00:32:26.000
<v Speaker 2>a ten years after the eighty four Olympic team and

600
00:32:26.039 --> 00:32:28.319
<v Speaker 2>they were all there signing. Most of them were there

601
00:32:28.359 --> 00:32:32.799
<v Speaker 2>signing autographs. So that was a cool moment in nineteen

602
00:32:32.880 --> 00:32:35.839
<v Speaker 2>ninety four. And we're gonna get baseball back in twenty

603
00:32:35.880 --> 00:32:36.359
<v Speaker 2>twenty eight.

604
00:32:36.440 --> 00:32:36.880
<v Speaker 3>That's right.

605
00:32:37.200 --> 00:32:42.119
<v Speaker 2>Baseball and softball will be Olympic sports at the LA Olympics.

606
00:32:42.799 --> 00:32:46.079
<v Speaker 2>And between then and now, Major League Baseball has to

607
00:32:46.160 --> 00:32:49.640
<v Speaker 2>figure out a way to get their stars and their

608
00:32:49.680 --> 00:32:53.480
<v Speaker 2>major league players to play in the summer games, not

609
00:32:53.640 --> 00:32:56.039
<v Speaker 2>just because they're in the United States. It helps with

610
00:32:56.119 --> 00:32:59.039
<v Speaker 2>the time difference and guys not having to travel halfway

611
00:32:59.039 --> 00:33:00.720
<v Speaker 2>around the world to go play for a week and

612
00:33:00.720 --> 00:33:03.559
<v Speaker 2>then come back and resume their season. You can trade

613
00:33:03.559 --> 00:33:05.640
<v Speaker 2>this almost like an All Star break. Heck, you can

614
00:33:05.680 --> 00:33:07.599
<v Speaker 2>tie it into an All Star break if you wanted.

615
00:33:07.839 --> 00:33:10.079
<v Speaker 2>You're gonna lose a lot of your top players. But

616
00:33:10.599 --> 00:33:12.200
<v Speaker 2>maybe you just make the All Star break a week

617
00:33:12.240 --> 00:33:14.000
<v Speaker 2>and a half and you play the All Star Game

618
00:33:14.200 --> 00:33:16.039
<v Speaker 2>and then you let the guys go play in the Olympics,

619
00:33:16.599 --> 00:33:19.839
<v Speaker 2>but the World Baseball Classic, which is, you know, not

620
00:33:19.920 --> 00:33:23.599
<v Speaker 2>the Olympics, but that kind of stage where you represent

621
00:33:23.640 --> 00:33:27.400
<v Speaker 2>your team nationally and you play country v country. And

622
00:33:27.440 --> 00:33:30.039
<v Speaker 2>we saw how epic these games were being played in

623
00:33:30.119 --> 00:33:34.000
<v Speaker 2>Miami and all across the country. The last couple of

624
00:33:34.079 --> 00:33:36.319
<v Speaker 2>years was the last one. Last year we had Mike

625
00:33:36.359 --> 00:33:40.000
<v Speaker 2>Trout facing Shoho Tani, two teammates, square and off in

626
00:33:40.039 --> 00:33:44.440
<v Speaker 2>the twenty three World Baseball Classic. It's fun, it's very cool,

627
00:33:44.440 --> 00:33:47.839
<v Speaker 2>it's very exciting. Fans get into it, represent your country.

628
00:33:48.160 --> 00:33:49.680
<v Speaker 2>Didn'd be kind of sweet to have that in the

629
00:33:49.680 --> 00:33:53.039
<v Speaker 2>Olympics in twenty twenty eight. So I think it's important

630
00:33:53.319 --> 00:33:58.559
<v Speaker 2>that baseball get itself out of its own way and

631
00:33:58.640 --> 00:34:02.000
<v Speaker 2>the baseball players associated do the same, and the two

632
00:34:02.039 --> 00:34:06.640
<v Speaker 2>sides come together and let's figure this out. Elongate the

633
00:34:06.960 --> 00:34:10.440
<v Speaker 2>All Star break in twenty twenty eight. Maybe make it

634
00:34:10.480 --> 00:34:12.559
<v Speaker 2>two weeks if you have to play an All Star Game,

635
00:34:13.000 --> 00:34:16.360
<v Speaker 2>and then you could have the summer games be played

636
00:34:16.400 --> 00:34:19.719
<v Speaker 2>over the course of a week throughout southern California, or

637
00:34:19.760 --> 00:34:22.840
<v Speaker 2>at Dodger Stadium and Dodger Stadium, in Anaheim Stadium, whatever

638
00:34:22.840 --> 00:34:25.519
<v Speaker 2>you need to do. To make multiple games happen. Let's

639
00:34:25.519 --> 00:34:27.119
<v Speaker 2>figure this out.

640
00:34:27.280 --> 00:34:27.920
<v Speaker 3>Let's get the.

641
00:34:27.840 --> 00:34:33.760
<v Speaker 2>Olympics to have baseball with professional players, the superstars of

642
00:34:33.800 --> 00:34:37.559
<v Speaker 2>the game. A stack Dominican Republic team, the Venezuelan team,

643
00:34:37.880 --> 00:34:41.360
<v Speaker 2>a South Korean team, a Japanese team, a team US, say,

644
00:34:41.360 --> 00:34:42.719
<v Speaker 2>with Bobby Witt Junior.

645
00:34:42.559 --> 00:34:43.119
<v Speaker 3>Leading the way.

646
00:34:43.519 --> 00:34:47.800
<v Speaker 2>Let's go. How awesome would that be. Let's get it done, Baseball.

647
00:34:48.079 --> 00:34:51.039
<v Speaker 2>Let's get it done. Players Association, you have four years

648
00:34:51.400 --> 00:34:55.159
<v Speaker 2>to figure it out. Ish in Riverside, next up here

649
00:34:55.199 --> 00:34:56.599
<v Speaker 2>on Dodge Talk, how you doing, Ish?

650
00:34:57.679 --> 00:34:58.679
<v Speaker 4>Hey, I'm doing pretty good.

651
00:34:58.719 --> 00:35:00.639
<v Speaker 3>Jim, Hey you doing I'm doing good things?

652
00:35:01.679 --> 00:35:03.800
<v Speaker 4>Well? Cool? Well, you know, I agree, man, that'd be

653
00:35:03.840 --> 00:35:06.559
<v Speaker 4>really cool. I mean, our family we love World Baseball,

654
00:35:06.840 --> 00:35:07.480
<v Speaker 4>you know, yeah, the.

655
00:35:07.440 --> 00:35:09.960
<v Speaker 2>World Baseball Classics fining to watch, whether you're in person,

656
00:35:10.199 --> 00:35:11.199
<v Speaker 2>we're watching on TV.

657
00:35:11.320 --> 00:35:12.559
<v Speaker 3>It's a great experience.

658
00:35:13.800 --> 00:35:16.039
<v Speaker 4>Oh yeah, I mean, and we're like a World Cup

659
00:35:16.079 --> 00:35:18.440
<v Speaker 4>family too. So combining like World Cup with baseball just

660
00:35:18.920 --> 00:35:21.199
<v Speaker 4>notice like a no greater you know what I mean?

661
00:35:23.079 --> 00:35:25.039
<v Speaker 4>Then you have well first and foremost man from my

662
00:35:25.119 --> 00:35:27.880
<v Speaker 4>family to the Freeman's. You know, definitely, you guys are

663
00:35:27.920 --> 00:35:31.199
<v Speaker 4>in our thoughts and you know, we we want the best,

664
00:35:31.519 --> 00:35:33.800
<v Speaker 4>uh you know for girl Max. So that's that's definitely

665
00:35:33.800 --> 00:35:36.000
<v Speaker 4>wanted to say that. But you know, I had just

666
00:35:36.039 --> 00:35:39.760
<v Speaker 4>two points tim, you know, one was regarding Kershaw's start

667
00:35:39.840 --> 00:35:41.960
<v Speaker 4>last night and then the other one regarding the trades

668
00:35:42.000 --> 00:35:46.880
<v Speaker 4>and whatnot with with Kersh. You know, that first inning

669
00:35:47.039 --> 00:35:49.599
<v Speaker 4>was it was like magic, you know, I mean, he

670
00:35:49.840 --> 00:35:52.760
<v Speaker 4>almost it was almost like a seven pitch inning. You know,

671
00:35:52.760 --> 00:35:55.119
<v Speaker 4>there was the extra batle that came up right with

672
00:35:55.480 --> 00:35:57.880
<v Speaker 4>I think it was an error on us, but still

673
00:35:58.159 --> 00:35:59.719
<v Speaker 4>what was like one or two pitches later and he

674
00:35:59.760 --> 00:36:02.000
<v Speaker 4>got out of that. I thought like, wow, we're seeing

675
00:36:02.000 --> 00:36:05.119
<v Speaker 4>like the pitch Kershaw, you know. So the reason why

676
00:36:05.239 --> 00:36:07.480
<v Speaker 4>I mentioned that too is I've seen Bueler have kind

677
00:36:07.519 --> 00:36:09.000
<v Speaker 4>of the same out, and I think he got out

678
00:36:09.000 --> 00:36:11.760
<v Speaker 4>of the first inning maybe on a second or third start,

679
00:36:11.880 --> 00:36:14.760
<v Speaker 4>on like six pitches and then boom like the next inning.

680
00:36:14.800 --> 00:36:18.079
<v Speaker 7>So I don't know what what what? What explains Like

681
00:36:18.239 --> 00:36:20.360
<v Speaker 7>how can you have such a discrepancy between like a

682
00:36:20.519 --> 00:36:22.760
<v Speaker 7>you know, the first inning with the one through three,

683
00:36:22.920 --> 00:36:26.239
<v Speaker 7>one through four batters versus like you know, the middle

684
00:36:26.239 --> 00:36:27.480
<v Speaker 7>of the order, you know what I mean? What are

685
00:36:27.519 --> 00:36:28.039
<v Speaker 7>your thoughts on that?

686
00:36:28.119 --> 00:36:28.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I appreciate it.

687
00:36:29.000 --> 00:36:31.119
<v Speaker 2>You know, I think you're seeing a Padres team that

688
00:36:31.199 --> 00:36:34.800
<v Speaker 2>is so used to facing a Clayton Kershaw. And last night,

689
00:36:35.320 --> 00:36:37.880
<v Speaker 2>again he's not throwing ninety five miles an hour. He's

690
00:36:37.960 --> 00:36:40.840
<v Speaker 2>hitting ninety US fastball and his slider had no bite

691
00:36:40.840 --> 00:36:44.119
<v Speaker 2>to it, and that's a recipe for disaster. In his

692
00:36:44.159 --> 00:36:47.119
<v Speaker 2>first start at Dodger Stadium, coming back from the shoulder injury,

693
00:36:47.599 --> 00:36:50.119
<v Speaker 2>he had bite on the on the slider. He was

694
00:36:50.159 --> 00:36:54.119
<v Speaker 2>mixing in his curveball, and that helps her fastball, which

695
00:36:54.159 --> 00:36:57.840
<v Speaker 2>may only be ninety ninety one, get past guys and

696
00:36:57.880 --> 00:37:01.239
<v Speaker 2>you get swinging missus. Last night, nothing on the slider

697
00:37:01.679 --> 00:37:04.440
<v Speaker 2>fastball is what it is, and guys were laying off

698
00:37:04.480 --> 00:37:06.719
<v Speaker 2>the curveball because he was having trouble throwing it for strikes.

699
00:37:07.239 --> 00:37:10.000
<v Speaker 2>That's a recipe for disaster. And that's what happened last night.

700
00:37:10.039 --> 00:37:14.840
<v Speaker 2>When you've got forty one swings and only two swinging misses,

701
00:37:16.760 --> 00:37:19.639
<v Speaker 2>that's that is not good. And even Kershaw said that

702
00:37:19.719 --> 00:37:22.039
<v Speaker 2>is really bad. His outing last night, which he couldn't

703
00:37:22.039 --> 00:37:24.280
<v Speaker 2>get out of the fourth inning. Speaking of outings, tonight,

704
00:37:24.360 --> 00:37:28.559
<v Speaker 2>Oklahoma City, the Oklahoma City Baseball Club, the Dodgers Triple

705
00:37:28.599 --> 00:37:35.960
<v Speaker 2>A affiliate in El Paso taking on the Triple A

706
00:37:36.039 --> 00:37:41.639
<v Speaker 2>affiliate there, Walker Bueller got the start. He went three

707
00:37:41.679 --> 00:37:45.800
<v Speaker 2>and a third innings. He allowed three runs on seven hits,

708
00:37:46.480 --> 00:37:52.920
<v Speaker 2>walked three, struck out six, got eleven swinging misses, and

709
00:37:52.960 --> 00:37:57.320
<v Speaker 2>threw eighty six pitcheskay right away high pitch count, couldn't

710
00:37:57.320 --> 00:37:59.760
<v Speaker 2>get out of the fourth inning, gave him three runs

711
00:37:59.760 --> 00:38:02.199
<v Speaker 2>on seven hits. I mean, there's probably traffic on the

712
00:38:02.199 --> 00:38:06.000
<v Speaker 2>bass pass. Three walks, yep, seven hits, three walks, a

713
00:38:06.000 --> 00:38:08.360
<v Speaker 2>lot of guys on the bass pass. He was limited

714
00:38:08.360 --> 00:38:10.239
<v Speaker 2>to three runs, struck out six, so he got out

715
00:38:10.239 --> 00:38:12.800
<v Speaker 2>of some jams. Looks like this is my first impression

716
00:38:12.920 --> 00:38:17.519
<v Speaker 2>looking at the numbers, and he had five guys steal

717
00:38:17.559 --> 00:38:21.760
<v Speaker 2>bases off. He's now allowed ten stolen bases in two outies.

718
00:38:21.800 --> 00:38:23.559
<v Speaker 2>He can't really read into that. A good friend, Eric

719
00:38:23.599 --> 00:38:25.760
<v Speaker 2>Steven at Truberu Lela said you got to kind of

720
00:38:25.880 --> 00:38:28.159
<v Speaker 2>put that aside because he's probably not worried about the

721
00:38:28.159 --> 00:38:31.119
<v Speaker 2>base runners. He's working more as pitching on a rehab assignment,

722
00:38:31.119 --> 00:38:36.559
<v Speaker 2>which is absolutely true. Spot on, He's right, but I'm

723
00:38:36.599 --> 00:38:38.559
<v Speaker 2>not sure if this is positive, if this is the

724
00:38:38.599 --> 00:38:41.199
<v Speaker 2>next step for Walker Buealer coming back three in the

725
00:38:41.280 --> 00:38:44.079
<v Speaker 2>third innings, three runs, seven hits, three walks, struck out six,

726
00:38:44.480 --> 00:38:46.719
<v Speaker 2>A lot of traffic on the bass pass, but got

727
00:38:46.760 --> 00:38:47.679
<v Speaker 2>out of a jam.

728
00:38:48.119 --> 00:38:52.000
<v Speaker 3>Eleven swing and misses. We'll see.

729
00:38:52.480 --> 00:38:54.320
<v Speaker 2>I think he's still another start in the minor leagues

730
00:38:54.360 --> 00:38:57.760
<v Speaker 2>away from a decision being made. I don't think this

731
00:38:57.880 --> 00:39:00.519
<v Speaker 2>was that next jump that the Dodgers front office and

732
00:39:00.559 --> 00:39:02.400
<v Speaker 2>the coaching staff wanted to see. I think they probably

733
00:39:02.400 --> 00:39:05.519
<v Speaker 2>wanted to see him go deeper into game eighty six pitches,

734
00:39:06.119 --> 00:39:09.239
<v Speaker 2>somewhere in the sixth inning, least a fifth inning, But

735
00:39:09.480 --> 00:39:10.920
<v Speaker 2>to not even get out of the fourth inning on

736
00:39:10.960 --> 00:39:13.079
<v Speaker 2>eighty six pitches, A lot of traffic on the base pass,

737
00:39:13.559 --> 00:39:15.320
<v Speaker 2>not where he wanted to be. Eight six, six, nine,

738
00:39:15.400 --> 00:39:17.440
<v Speaker 2>eighty seven to two, five seventy. We'll take a break.

739
00:39:17.480 --> 00:39:18.960
<v Speaker 2>We'll come back if we have time. We'll try to

740
00:39:18.960 --> 00:39:21.039
<v Speaker 2>get to your phone calls. If not, we got a

741
00:39:21.079 --> 00:39:24.639
<v Speaker 2>farm report. Next trade deadline is coming gone. Top prospects

742
00:39:24.679 --> 00:39:26.880
<v Speaker 2>are still here? What are they doing? Where are they at?

743
00:39:26.960 --> 00:39:29.119
<v Speaker 2>We'll tell you next off Night Dodger Talk here on
