Speaker 1: Dodger Talk is sponsored by LA Care Health Plan, providing
Speaker 1: affordable healthcare insurance to millions of Angelinos for over twenty
Speaker 1: five years. And now your voice for Todger Talking.
Speaker 2: Fight back Damn Cats, Dodgers with the win in Arizona
Speaker 2: as they put some separation between them and the Snakes. Hi, everybody,
Speaker 2: welcome to Dodger Talk here on this Monday afternoon early
Speaker 2: evening here in southern California, wrapping up this Labor Day weekend.
Speaker 2: Hope you're staying cool out there as things starting to
Speaker 2: heat up here in this first week of September. Eight
Speaker 2: sixty six nine eighty seven two five seventy is our number.
Speaker 2: Eight sixty six nine eighty seven two five seventy. What
Speaker 2: a wild weekend in Arizona. The Dodgers won ten nine
Speaker 2: on Friday, Dodgers won eight to six on Saturday, the
Speaker 2: Diamondbacks come back and win yesterday.
Speaker 3: Fourteen to three.
Speaker 2: And the Dodgers and Diebacks today in the fourth and
Speaker 2: final game of this series, the final time they'll meet
Speaker 2: this season in the regular season, seventeen more combined runs.
Speaker 2: Dodgers win it eleven to six over Arizona eleven runs
Speaker 2: on seventeen hits, Chris Taylor at double, Mookie Bets a double,
Speaker 2: ta Oscar Hernandez a double, Toascar Hernandez with a triple,
Speaker 2: Freddie Freeman two home runs. The Dodgers absolutely pounded and
Speaker 2: Water Rodriguez and they got to Jordan Montgomery tagged him
Speaker 2: out of the game literally, ta Oscar Hernandez drilling a
Speaker 2: ball off to his shin. He had to come out
Speaker 2: of the game after it started to balloon up on
Speaker 2: him and the Diamondbacks had to go to the bullpen.
Speaker 2: But think about this, Two of the bigger free agents
Speaker 2: in baseball this pass offseason pitching wise, and Water Rodriguez
Speaker 2: and Jordan Montgomery both signed with the Arizona Diamondbacks. Jordan
Speaker 2: Montgomery and late signed. Certainly we know the drama that
Speaker 2: he he had waiting and waiting and waiting during spring
Speaker 2: training to sign and Water Rodriguez.
Speaker 3: For those of you who don't remember.
Speaker 2: Last year, the Dodgers wanted him up the trade deadline,
Speaker 2: thought they had a deal in place with the Detroit
Speaker 2: Tigers to acquire the leftander at the deadline last year,
Speaker 2: only to have it water O Rodriguez not waive his
Speaker 2: trade clause to go to the Dodgers didn't want to
Speaker 2: pitch on the West coast, instead stayed in Detroit and
Speaker 2: the offseason signs a deal with the Arizona Diamonbacks.
Speaker 3: The last time I looked it pretty close to the
Speaker 3: West coast.
Speaker 2: Gets Hurt, makes only four starts going into today, and
Speaker 2: the Dodgers roughed him up for four innings, three runs,
Speaker 2: seven hits, a couple of walks. They milt him for
Speaker 2: ninety two pitches and four innings of work. And then
Speaker 2: they got after Jordan Montgomery. So the Dodgers got after
Speaker 2: Arizona's two big free agent signings this past offseason. That's
Speaker 2: a positive takeaway from this now, certainly the Dodgers winning
Speaker 2: three of four big for multiple accounts.
Speaker 3: One, you leave Arizona after.
Speaker 2: Final meeting against them head to head of the regular
Speaker 2: season with a six game lead. You go in there
Speaker 2: with the four game lead, you come out picking up
Speaker 2: two games in the division. The Dodgers up six on Arizona.
Speaker 2: The Dodgers also today by beating the Dimonbacks win the
Speaker 2: season series. The Dodgers win seven of the thirteen head
Speaker 2: to head meetings. Why is that important? I'll keep reiterating
Speaker 2: to you Rick Monday talked about it. Tim never talked
Speaker 2: about it. Dam if I say mentioned it on the
Speaker 2: pregame show. The importance of this game, the deciding game
Speaker 2: in the season series. Now, if the Diamonbacks and Dodgers
Speaker 2: square off in October in an NLDS series, the Dodgers
Speaker 2: will have home field advantage based on the fact that
Speaker 2: they won this season series. So the Dodgers will have
Speaker 2: home field advantage over Arizona if they meet. That's an
Speaker 2: important cog in this win today for the Dodgers. So
Speaker 2: the Dodgers victory today big for multiple reasons. And you
Speaker 2: look at the way they did it. The offense exploding
Speaker 2: for eleven runs, the top of the lineup producing Will Smith,
Speaker 2: who you heard in the Clubhouse show with David Vasse
Speaker 2: on the field, a great defensive play, but also starting
Speaker 2: to heat up offensively today goes two for five drives
Speaker 2: in two part of a three run seventh inning to
Speaker 2: pull the Dodgers up six to one. They tacked on
Speaker 2: five more in the eighth inning to go up eleven
Speaker 2: to three. I know, the final score is eleven to six,
Speaker 2: and you're starting to think, wow, the bullpen the bullpen,
Speaker 2: they can look like they did today. Well, let's keep
Speaker 2: in mind this is an Arizona Diamondbacks team, although a
Speaker 2: little banged up right now, still leads baseball in runs
Speaker 2: per game, and it's one of the better come from
Speaker 2: behind teams and late inning teams in baseball this year.
Speaker 2: And we saw those in the first three games. How
Speaker 2: close you know, I'll be it. Yesterday not so much,
Speaker 2: but the first two games close and the Dodgers pulling
Speaker 2: away late on Friday and Saturday. Today the Dodgers up
Speaker 2: three to one, up six to one, to six to three.
Speaker 2: Game after the seventh inning, the Dodgers with the five
Speaker 2: runs go up ten to three, up eleven to three,
Speaker 2: and then you see the dim Backs scorer a running
Speaker 2: the eighth and the running the ninth. It was too
Speaker 2: much at that point, but they continued to battle. They
Speaker 2: continue to fight and scrap and put the cross runs
Speaker 2: and tried to get back into this game. So if
Speaker 2: these two teams meet in October, I'll be honest with you,
Speaker 2: they scare me. I know what happened last year, and
Speaker 2: they caught fire. And certainly that was a Diamondbacks team
Speaker 2: that caught everybody in baseball by surprise, never let up,
Speaker 2: never took their foot off the gas the second half
Speaker 2: of the season into October, and ran all the way
Speaker 2: to a World Series appearance, falling short to the Texas Rangers.
Speaker 2: Now this year, I think this Dodgers team will be
Speaker 2: ready for him. I know they will come October. And
Speaker 2: David bassay, that's a great question to show, hey Otani.
Speaker 2: You heard it in the Clubout show about being selfless
Speaker 2: and at bats in this series and at bats for
Speaker 2: show hey moving forward as he strives to get to
Speaker 2: fifty to fifty in the final twenty four games of
Speaker 2: the season, but also being a team player. And in
Speaker 2: this series we saw at bats, moving guys, over stealing bases,
Speaker 2: getting in scoring position, sacrificing maybe in a bat for
Speaker 2: yourself to better the team in a situation. That halfending.
Speaker 2: We're seeing it up and down the lineup. We saw
Speaker 2: Shoe Otani put down a bun attempt, albeit I don't
Speaker 2: think he was really trying to bunt. But you know,
Speaker 2: we're seeing guys like Keik Hernandez, who's got power, who's
Speaker 2: been a proven postseason player, a player that the Dodgers
Speaker 2: are going to rely upon. This stretch run, go out
Speaker 2: there and put down a bunt to move guys over
Speaker 2: in one of the games this weekend. It's it's contagious
Speaker 2: winning and losing. If you don't think it is, you're crazy.
Speaker 2: And I think right now, this team with the top
Speaker 2: of the lineup, the big three as we call them, Otani, Bets,
Speaker 2: and Freeman, not afraid to move guys over, not afraid
Speaker 2: to be selfless. Mookie Bets today goes two for four.
Speaker 2: Rookie Bets today, that two run single, first pitch, swinging
Speaker 2: in the first line drive to left, Mookie Bets two
Speaker 2: run double in the eighth inning, perfectly placed, not trying
Speaker 2: to hit a home run, not trying to have a
Speaker 2: big shot there in a three run bomb in that
Speaker 2: situation in the eighth inning. Instead, Mookie Bets finds the
Speaker 2: line and gets a double, two runs scored, just doing
Speaker 2: things to manufacture runs and not try to play hero
Speaker 2: baseball with one swing of the bat, which I think
Speaker 2: we saw this Dodger team the last couple of years
Speaker 2: get into a bad habit of and we saw it
Speaker 2: stretches this year, certainly during that rut last month. But
Speaker 2: as we flip the calendar to September. Now, I like
Speaker 2: what I saw in these four games in Arizona. Certainly
Speaker 2: things got away from him yesterday with Justin Robleski giving
Speaker 2: up to eight runs early and putting them in a
Speaker 2: huge hole. But I like this Dodgers offense. Now, there
Speaker 2: are still some question marks going into October, certainly eight six, six, nine,
Speaker 2: eighty seven, two five seventy starting pitching. What are they
Speaker 2: going to get out of Yamamoto when he comes back.
Speaker 2: The health of Clayton Kershaw, who's going to be walking
Speaker 2: around in a walking boot at times to help his
Speaker 2: toe heal and take some of the inflammation out of
Speaker 2: the turf toe, the injured toe that he's got on
Speaker 2: his left big toe on his foot. What about Walker
Speaker 2: Buehler and his up and down We'll find out tomorrow
Speaker 2: on his next start how he's progressing. You maybe he
Speaker 2: has turned the page and back to Walker Buehler form.
Speaker 2: There's a lot of question marks. Tyler Glass now who
Speaker 2: if you hear the conversation he had with David vas
Speaker 2: Say earlier in this series in Arizona, you kind of
Speaker 2: get the feeling that, while yes, they are in a
Speaker 2: race right now in the division, they've got eyes on
Speaker 2: October for Tyler Glass now, and you hate to say, well,
Speaker 2: we'll worry about the division with everybody else, but Tyler
Speaker 2: is for October. But I think that's really, honestly the
Speaker 2: way they're looking at it. We need a fresh, healthy
Speaker 2: horse in Tyler Glass now for October, and there's no
Speaker 2: need to have him come back.
Speaker 3: If he's got inflammation, a.
Speaker 2: Little tendonitis, a little soreness, a little dead arm, however
Speaker 2: you want to describe it, fatigue, Let's get rid of
Speaker 2: it now.
Speaker 3: Let's let him rest. What's the hurry.
Speaker 2: It's not a half game, leads, not down to one
Speaker 2: and a half, it maybe five. The Padres hang on
Speaker 2: and win against the Detroit Tigers, and they're up one
Speaker 2: to nothing right now in the eighth inning to Pet
Speaker 2: go apart. Okay, they'll be five up on the Padres
Speaker 2: that maintains, and there's six games up on the Diamondbacks.
Speaker 2: You can get away with another turn through the rotation
Speaker 2: without Tyler Glass now and feel pretty confident about your
Speaker 2: team and where they're at in the standings. He's gonna
Speaker 2: need probably one tune up, maybe two coming back before
Speaker 2: the postseason. You can't just come right off the il
Speaker 2: And'm thinking he's gonna be ready to go come October
Speaker 2: with nothing pitched in September, so they'll get him back
Speaker 2: at the end of the month. I'm pretty sure, but
Speaker 2: based on the way his tone and his talking with
Speaker 2: David Vassay earlier in this series in Arizona, the gist
Speaker 2: I got, and maybe I'm completely wrong, but I don't
Speaker 2: think I am. Kind of feels like they're just getting
Speaker 2: him ready for October, making sure he's ready, making sure
Speaker 2: he's rested. There's another guy I want to make sure
Speaker 2: he's good to go come October, and that was a
Speaker 2: guy we saw today in Jack Flarity. Jack Flerity to
Speaker 2: me is an old school pitcher. Jack Flaerity to me
Speaker 2: is a guy who today when he came out of
Speaker 2: the game, if you happen to see it on sports
Speaker 2: and net LA, if you see it on a replay,
Speaker 2: see it on social media. He got pulled with two
Speaker 2: outs after back to back walks in the sixth inning,
Speaker 2: and at the time the Dodgers were leading three to one.
Speaker 3: He was not happy.
Speaker 2: Jack Flarerity came off the mount and not happy with
Speaker 2: anybody on his team or Dave Roberts, for coming to
Speaker 2: get him. He was not happy with himself because his
Speaker 2: pitch count was pretty low after four innings. The Diamondbacks,
Speaker 2: to their credit, did a really good job elongating at
Speaker 2: bats in the fifth inning. He only faced four batters
Speaker 2: in the fifth, but through twenty three pitches, and then
Speaker 2: he comes back on the sixth a leadoff single, a strikeout.
Speaker 2: Will Smith nails Jack Jake McCarthy at second base for
Speaker 2: the second out of the inning. Perfect, but then he
Speaker 2: walks Josh Bell with two outs and then walks another
Speaker 2: batter and that's when Dave Roberts came to get him.
Speaker 3: After ninety six pitches. Jack Flaherty's anger.
Speaker 2: Not being happy at the moment, again, not directing anybody
Speaker 2: but himself, because you can tell he wanted to get
Speaker 2: out of that inning. He wanted to get through six
Speaker 2: and turn it over to the bullpen for the final
Speaker 2: nine outs. As it was Alex VESSI comes in, get
Speaker 2: to punch out on four pitches and the inning is over.
Speaker 3: Flareity still gets the win. But I love his fight.
Speaker 3: I love his.
Speaker 2: Aggressiveness on the mound. It's not just his composure, his build,
Speaker 2: his moxie on the mount. He reminds me of an
Speaker 2: old school got not afraid to throw inside, not afraid
Speaker 2: to challenge a hitter and go up in the zone
Speaker 2: with the fastball and say, here's ninety six at the letters.
Speaker 2: It's gonna be a strike. Can you turn on it?
Speaker 3: And he got seven punch outs today.
Speaker 2: I am excited to see what he can be a
Speaker 2: part of this Dodger rotation come October. But again, I
Speaker 2: want to make sure he's healthy too. I want to
Speaker 2: make sure that Jack Flaherty's ready to go come octobery.
Speaker 2: Through ninety six pitches, today's made now five starts in
Speaker 2: a Dodger uniform. He picked up as eleventh win of
Speaker 2: the season, but he's now made twenty five starts on
Speaker 2: the season. Hey, let's make sure he's good to go
Speaker 2: as well. Eight sixty six, nine eighty seven, two five seventy.
Speaker 2: Let's hear from the Dodger manager, Dave Roberts. Let's head
Speaker 2: back out to Chase Field before the Dodger head out
Speaker 2: and come back home to southern California.
Speaker 3: And here from the Dodger skipper, it was a.
Speaker 4: It was an important series, big series, and it was
Speaker 4: good to see, you know. Twenty eight guys, twenty six,
Speaker 4: twenty eight guys come together and you know, finish off
Speaker 4: the series the right way. Obviously, you can see the
Speaker 4: urgency with both clubs, how they played and for us
Speaker 4: to win three here was is a is a tough
Speaker 4: feat and it took some big hits, some big pitching
Speaker 4: and overall, you know, to come out of this series
Speaker 4: up six games against these guys, we took care of business.
Speaker 1: Ja length about just how Jack and Will navigated through
Speaker 1: their lineups so efficiently.
Speaker 4: I thought they were in lockstep all day today. We
Speaker 4: talked about it earlier in the sense of, you know,
Speaker 4: how to use your fastball, when to use your fastball,
Speaker 4: how to use your secondary pitches, and he did just
Speaker 4: that and so I thought, you know, through five innings
Speaker 4: he was fantastic. And in that sixth inning, I just
Speaker 4: thought he started losing command a little bit, and you
Speaker 4: know it worked out, but you know, Jack to give
Speaker 4: us some length right there and to keep us in
Speaker 4: the ball game was was fantastic.
Speaker 5: It was the kind of stakes were there and how
Speaker 5: does sort of see him have that kind of started
Speaker 5: as acte one?
Speaker 3: No, it was.
Speaker 4: It was good and it's not surprising. I don't know
Speaker 4: his entire track record, but I know he's pitched in
Speaker 4: some big ball games and for him to go out there,
Speaker 4: you know, with a workman like kind of mindset and
Speaker 4: execute pitches and certainly the moment's not going to get
Speaker 4: too big for him. So yeah, that's a little preview
Speaker 4: of what's to come. And it was, you know, a
Speaker 4: playoff that atmosphere.
Speaker 2: All right, there's Dave Roberts high praise for Jack Flaherty
Speaker 2: and the job he did today helping out the bullpen
Speaker 2: by pitching into the sixth inning and also to show
Speaker 2: that aggressiveness that I talked about, to show that mentality
Speaker 2: out of the mound and wanting to finish that sixth
Speaker 2: inning and going out in battling, striking out the side
Speaker 2: in the second inning, I'll beeat on thirteen pitches and
Speaker 2: to go out and get the win. Into what he's
Speaker 2: done now in five starts, what is he four and
Speaker 2: one now as a Dodger starter, Pretty darn impressive, and
Speaker 2: I'm excited to see what he can do come October eight, six,
Speaker 2: sixth nine, eighty seven, two five seven. You we'll take
Speaker 2: a break, we'll come back, We'll get to your phone calls.
Speaker 2: And we'll also hear from Freddie Freeman, who had a
Speaker 2: big day today, a couple of home runs.
Speaker 3: Five Ribby's.
Speaker 2: Dodgers beat the Diamondbacks eleven to six, eight six, six,
Speaker 2: nine eighty seven two five seventy is our number. We'll

Speaker 2: game lead over Arizona as we speak, five and a
Speaker 2: half game lead over San Diego as they take on
Speaker 2: the Tigers.
Speaker 3: Right now.
Speaker 2: The Padres in the bottom half of the eighth Indiana
Speaker 2: Petco Park. So if that holds, the Dodgers will be
Speaker 2: five games up on Manny Machado and the Padres.
Speaker 3: Let's go out to the phones. Thanks for being patient.
Speaker 2: Let's go to Brian in Pointa Park here on Dodger
Speaker 2: Talk on this Labor Day Monday.
Speaker 3: Hi Brian, Hi, how's it going? Doing great? How are
Speaker 3: you today?
Speaker 7: Saying thanks? You know, I'm just wondering. It's September now
Speaker 7: and the minor leaguers are coming up, and I just
Speaker 7: talk about James Elman. Has they lost confidence in James Elvin.
Speaker 2: I don't know if they've lost confidence, and I appreciate
Speaker 2: the phone call, Brian. I certainly certainly think they've don't
Speaker 2: have room.
Speaker 3: For James Outman right now. Andy pa has.
Speaker 2: Got the nod to come up from Triple A, Oklahoma City.
Speaker 2: And just a reminder, it's September and rosters expand, but
Speaker 2: they don't expand like they used to. You may be
Speaker 2: used to the days in which roster's expanded you can
Speaker 2: bring up everybody on your forty man roster.
Speaker 3: Just not the case anymore.
Speaker 2: You got twenty six man roster until September first, and
Speaker 2: then you can add two more players, a position player
Speaker 2: and a pitcher to your roster to get to twenty eight.
Speaker 3: That's it.
Speaker 2: The days of bringing up everybody and having a long
Speaker 2: bench and having a crowded clubhouse, those days are done.
Speaker 2: The last collective bargaining agreement that changed between the players
Speaker 2: and the owners, and so now you only get to
Speaker 2: twenty eight man roster for September. So I think if
Speaker 2: there was the old days of having an expanded rosters
Speaker 2: and you can bring up everybody on your forty man
Speaker 2: with the minor league seasons ending here this first week
Speaker 2: of September, certainly James Allen would be called up. But
Speaker 2: just as we speak right now, when you've got Kevin
Speaker 2: Kiermeyer and you've got a full outfield as it is,
Speaker 2: and Tommy Edmonds who can play center field, and Andy
Speaker 2: Potts who can play outfield, there's just no room in
Speaker 2: the end for James Outman, unfortunately, as he continues to
Speaker 2: play down in Triple A Oklahoma City. Congratulations to him
Speaker 2: and his wife on the birth that they're into baby
Speaker 2: in the last week, so congratulations to them. We haven't
Speaker 2: seen the last of James Altman, no doubt about it.
Speaker 2: But right now there's just not enough space for James Almen.
Speaker 2: We've talked about this here on Dodger Talk for the
Speaker 2: last month. We're gonna get to a point in this
Speaker 2: season where everybody gets healthy arms and position players and
Speaker 2: guys who are being counted on, guys who have played
Speaker 2: extensive innings just aren't going to be there anymore. Nick
Speaker 2: on Meds a casualty. They signed him because of necessity,
Speaker 2: no longer with the team. Calvin Biegio was brought in
Speaker 2: and did okay to help this Dodgers during this stretch
Speaker 2: in which Mookie Betts was out and Miguel Rojas was
Speaker 2: hurt no longer with the team. You look at this
Speaker 2: outfield situation now with Jason Hayward gone, Mookie Betts is
Speaker 2: your right fielder, Tiascar Hernandez is your left fielder. That
Speaker 2: leaves one spot in the outfield every day or two
Speaker 2: out of every three games of a series. That's Kevin Kiermeyer,
Speaker 2: that's Tommy Edmonds, or that is Andy Payaz. Just no
Speaker 2: room in the outfield. Do you think about the infield spot?
Speaker 2: Max Munty, Gavin Lux did even play today and they
Speaker 2: scored eleven runs on seventeen hits. Didn't play because at
Speaker 2: Wardo Rodriguez, the left hander, got the start, and you didn't.
Speaker 2: You didn't have that many left handed bats in the
Speaker 2: lineup outside of Freddie Freeman. So again, it's just the
Speaker 2: numbers game, and if you're the Dodgers, it's a great
Speaker 2: problem to have. There are teams across baseball right now
Speaker 2: that don't have twenty six guys on the roster that
Speaker 2: they can count on. They don't have twenty guys on
Speaker 2: their roster that they can count on, don't have enough
Speaker 2: position players that they can count on. The Dodgers have
Speaker 2: an abundance of talent and players that they've relied upon,
Speaker 2: and now that they're all healthy, we're seeing some guys
Speaker 2: left off the roster, some guys back in triple A,
Speaker 2: some guys gone altogether dfaight, because there's just not enough
Speaker 2: roster spots eight six, six, nine, eighty seven, two five seventy. Man,
Speaker 2: Well and Guardina, how you doing, Buddy the.
Speaker 8: Artist of scam who is not a scam artist? Red State,
Speaker 8: Tim Caite, the mother loving Wall much love.
Speaker 9: Hey, Dodgers are hitting on all cylinders right now, other
Speaker 9: than we can usually green in the bullpen.
Speaker 3: Yeah, showed up.
Speaker 9: They showed up this week.
Speaker 8: That was to me a playoff series because we know
Speaker 8: how it's gone against Arizona of late and San Diego,
Speaker 8: so they got to show up.
Speaker 9: Against San Diego too, and they got to carry it
Speaker 9: through this year. No more September flame outs. But this
Speaker 9: is good for them, man, they have this stress to
Speaker 9: have this going, and I think we're getting.
Speaker 8: Healthy at the right time.
Speaker 9: Tim Go Dodgers World mother at being champions all right.
Speaker 3: Man, Well, appreciate it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're getting healthy at the right time and they're
Speaker 2: going to continue to get healthy. With the additions of
Speaker 2: three more arms come back here hopefully soon a Yamamoto,
Speaker 2: Bruce Dear Garaderol Clayton kers shot, make that four arms
Speaker 2: and then you add in of course, uh Tyler Glass
Speaker 2: now as well. All right, let's head back out to Arizona.
Speaker 2: What a big day for Freddie Freeman, two home runs,
Speaker 2: five ribbises. Let's see what he has to say postgame.
Speaker 6: How big of when is this for you to not
Speaker 6: only you know, beat them today, but obviously extend your
Speaker 6: lead to six games and have the tiebreaker.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's nice, And obviously at the start of September,
Speaker 5: I think everyone kind of checks where the standings are.
Speaker 5: But when you play a series when you don't have
Speaker 5: Christian Walker, katl Marte, Gabriel Moreno, you got to try
Speaker 5: and take advantage of that. And as an offense we
Speaker 5: did a good job against their tough pitching and as
Speaker 5: a as a whole, this was just a good series.
Speaker 1: Man.
Speaker 6: Did you think you got your feelback at the plate
Speaker 6: with these three or four days off, because obviously the
Speaker 6: results were there.
Speaker 5: I was just been able to be able to do
Speaker 5: my routine and work. That's There's not doing anything different
Speaker 5: I've just been able to practice before games. Wasn't able
Speaker 5: to do that last week, so I don't know. I
Speaker 5: would take the three or four days off and say, yeah,
Speaker 5: I hoped because my finger doesn't hurt as bad as
Speaker 5: it did last week. So ultimately it was a second
Speaker 5: do my routine before games?
Speaker 1: Are you back to your four route?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Been back.
Speaker 3: I think the stable as our presence was it to
Speaker 3: have Jack sort of how to start.
Speaker 2: He did today.
Speaker 7: Yeah, that was big.
Speaker 5: Just the hats off Totur Bullpen for covering how to
Speaker 5: be at least twenty innings in the series. And Jack
Speaker 5: went out there on the last, you know, last game
Speaker 5: of the series and knowing that, you know, having kershon
Speaker 5: only go won the first day, and then even Robleski
Speaker 5: giving us five and five plus yesterday was huge. And
Speaker 5: then Jack went out there and giving us five and
Speaker 5: two third strong innings and US has an offense scoring
Speaker 5: some runs so we can give some other guys another
Speaker 5: extra day off, and it was just a big Dale
Speaker 5: around all right.
Speaker 2: There's Freddy Freeman after his big day two home runs,
