Speaker 2: gallupin Motors broadcast with it here from Tim Nevert and
Speaker 2: Rick monday Well. On Wednesday at the Ravine, it was
Speaker 2: home run derby for the Dodgers. Is a bailed out
Speaker 2: Bobby Miller who went four to third innings. He gave
Speaker 2: up six runs on five hits while walking four. He
Speaker 2: got into trouble with two outs in the first, giving
Speaker 2: up an RBI single and then Michael Bush and RBI
Speaker 2: double in the Chicago Cubs led two to nothing, but
Speaker 2: in the bottom of the first inning, the leadoff batter
Speaker 2: Show Hey Otani.
Speaker 3: Here's a one too, and o'tani belts this one to
Speaker 3: right center field in date this one.
Speaker 4: Heading back, it's gone a line time out of here.

Speaker 2: Tommy Edmond a two run home run, Dodgers a three
Speaker 2: to two lead. Will Smith the very next batter, a

Speaker 5: Can you believe this.
Speaker 3: Dodger Stadium going crazy?
Speaker 1: Right now here? In at first inning?
Speaker 2: Max Mounsey makes it back to back to back home
Speaker 2: runs for the Dodgers. In the bottom half of the
Speaker 2: first inning, they set a franchise record with four home
Speaker 2: runs in the first inning to take a five to
Speaker 2: two lead. That's the breath of fresh Air moment of
Speaker 2: the game, presented by a Tara Mechanical. Looking for reliabel
Speaker 2: heating and air conditioning services in southern California. A Tar
Speaker 2: Mechanical is your trusted partner. Say hi to Omar and Brittany,

Speaker 2: delivers friendly, honest service at a fair price. Dodgers were
Speaker 2: on their way to a big win on Wednesday night.
Speaker 2: They were up five to three going to the bottom
Speaker 2: half of the third inning with Show Ayotani in a
Speaker 2: two run single. Dodgers up seven to three when the
Speaker 2: duels fell off for Bobby Miller. In the top half
Speaker 2: of the fifth inning, Cody Bellinger, a three run home
Speaker 2: run made it a seven to six game, and then
Speaker 2: Peter crow Armstrong out of Harvard Westlake High School touched
Speaker 2: up Daniel Hudson and RBI single and we were tied
Speaker 2: at seven after five. Fast forward to the seventh inning,
Speaker 2: Dodgers with the runners on tye ballgame, Gavin Lux an
Speaker 2: RBI single that gave the Dodgers an eight to seven lead,
Speaker 2: Tommy Edmond a two run home run. Yet the same
Speaker 2: Tommy Edmon who had a two run home run in
Speaker 2: the first, It's another one in the eighth that was
Speaker 2: huge to give the Dodgers a ten to seven lead.
Speaker 2: In the ninth inning, Michael Kopek walked the bases loaded.
Speaker 2: Two batters later, a run scores with a sack fly
Speaker 2: a ten to eight Dodgers lead, and that's how it
Speaker 2: would end. Dodgers hang on for a ten to eight
Speaker 2: win over the Cubs. On Wednesday, they win the final
Speaker 2: game of the series. Now eighty seven and fifty nine
Speaker 2: the Dodgers with the lead in the NL West. The
Speaker 2: Dodgers looking to get that magical number down yet again.
Speaker 2: Is there at Atlanta tonight for the start of a
Speaker 2: four game rap around series in the south Land and
Speaker 2: Knack on the mount of the series opener, first bitch
Speaker 2: coming up at four to twenty and with more we
Speaker 2: head out to the Gallpin Motors broadcast booth as we
Speaker 2: say hello and welcome in Rick Monday, Tim Never Guys,
Speaker 2: thank you very much.
Speaker 5: Tim.
Speaker 3: Overcast here in Atlanta did rain when the Dodgers arrived
Speaker 3: here last night, and some scattered rain around the area
Speaker 3: today right now looking okay, just to overcast skies as
Speaker 3: we get ready for Game one of this four game
Speaker 3: wrap around series the Dodgers and the Atlanta Braves. The
Speaker 3: Dodgers come into this series with a record of eighty
Speaker 3: seven and fifty nine. They swept the Braves in May,
Speaker 3: so if they win this one tonight, they will win
Speaker 3: the season series and on the tiebreaker over Atlanta. If
Speaker 3: that would come into play, it would also shrink the
Speaker 3: magic number for a postseason berth from nine all the
Speaker 3: way down to six. The magic number to win the
Speaker 3: division stands at eleven. As we get set to start
Speaker 3: this one tonight, the Dodgers five games up on Arizona,
Speaker 3: five and a half of San Diego. Meantime, the Braves
Speaker 3: are fighting for their postseason lives. They're one game out
Speaker 3: of the wild card right now, nine games back in
Speaker 3: the National League East behind the Phillies, one game behind
Speaker 3: the match Mets or eight out. Braves are nine out,
Speaker 3: seventy nine and sixty seven. For the Braves, who have
Speaker 3: lost seven of their last thirteen ball games, and well,
Speaker 3: when we look at this ball game tonight coming here
Speaker 3: to Atlanta, the Dodgers have some business.
Speaker 5: To take care of. It's a huge series for the Braves.
Speaker 5: If they have any hope really.
Speaker 3: Of trying to make the postseason, they've got to make
Speaker 3: some hay in this series. But the Dodgers need to
Speaker 3: keep on putting some wins together to keep that distance
Speaker 3: between them and the Diamondbacks and the Padres.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and I think being able to change a couple
Speaker 6: of things. They've had a couple of clucker games in
Speaker 6: the last homestand fank you starting to look at the
Speaker 6: last ten they're just a five and five team, And
Speaker 6: while they've hit well in that period of time, almost
Speaker 6: two seventy is a team they're eer in those ten
Speaker 6: games is just under five five and a half. So
Speaker 6: that's one area that needs to be tightened up. But
Speaker 6: that burden has really been on the starting staff, not
Speaker 6: so much of the bullpen. The bullpen has not only
Speaker 6: had a heavy workload, they have done just an absolutely
Speaker 6: outstanding John And the question is going to be in
Speaker 6: this four game series, what's the workload for the bullpen?
Speaker 6: Landon Knack will get the start tonight, his tenth start
Speaker 6: plus a couple of relief appearances for this Dodger Bulkleum.
Speaker 6: The hitting needs to continue and also the improvement to
Speaker 6: take really advantage of opportunities.
Speaker 3: Interesting comment that Dave Roberts made today on the radio
Speaker 3: and then talked about it in the Dugout just a
Speaker 3: little while ago. Regarding Sho hal Tani and pitching this year,
Speaker 3: he said that the chances are slim. His quote was,
Speaker 3: the chances are really slim, but they're not zero.
Speaker 6: Well, we don't know. Again, I think that's a broad statement,
Speaker 6: but let's look at it. He's not pitched competitively for
Speaker 6: how long. He is not thrown a simulated game this
Speaker 6: year at all. He is thrown in the outfield, and
Speaker 6: he's thrown in the bullpen. There's not been any hitters
Speaker 6: there in there. On top of it, the other biggest
Speaker 6: question is are you going to expose him even if
Speaker 6: it came around? And if it did, they would make
Speaker 6: sure that there's one hundred percent reduction in the exposure
Speaker 6: of an injury. But are you counting upon an injury
Speaker 6: free existence in the Why increase the workload when you
Speaker 6: have a guy that is just off the charts and
Speaker 6: what he has done from an offensive standpoint. But it
Speaker 6: was indeed interesting comments with the door being left open.
Speaker 6: But how wide is the door open?
Speaker 5: We don't know.
Speaker 3: We'll see that's the answer, will steek. But we will
Speaker 3: also see history perhaps on this road trip. Shoe Heytowny
Speaker 3: with forty seven home runs, forty eighth stolen bases, every
Speaker 3: time he steals a base and hits a home run,
Speaker 3: it's history. But nobody has ever had that, even fifty
Speaker 3: to fifty mark and show Heyo Towny has it within
Speaker 3: his sights?
Speaker 6: Is kind it with his sights? And speaking of sites,
Speaker 6: everybody has show Hey o'tani in their sights whenever it
Speaker 6: comes to home plate. I mean we just we marvel
Speaker 6: and we see him each and every day, but you
Speaker 6: start to look at what he has done overall. It
Speaker 6: has been absolutely incredible and interesting numbers that I saw today.
Speaker 6: If the forty seven home runs, you know, twenty of
Speaker 6: those that come on breaking pitches. The reason I bring
Speaker 6: that up, how many breaking pitches are the Atlanta Braves
Speaker 6: going to be throwing to show Hey o'tani, including tonight,
Speaker 6: that the guy that they're going to be facing throws
Speaker 6: six different pitches, and he relies upon a lot of
Speaker 6: chases of breaking pitches.
Speaker 3: Spencer Schwellenbach, the right hander at five and seven going
Speaker 3: for the Braves, land and neck pitching for the Dodgers.
Speaker 3: He is two and three game one of those four
Speaker 3: game set in Atlanta at Truest Park between the Dodgers
Speaker 3: and the Braves.
Speaker 2: Coming up, Tim, all right, thank you very much, guys,

Speaker 3: and it's home run number forty.
Speaker 4: Seven for the Big Show Show hal Tony.
Speaker 3: The Clemente family usually Luis and Bobby Junior.

Speaker 2: to you by Eto ans Oyo jud Japan's number one
Speaker 2: Green Tea and the Tea that Showyotani loves and drinks
Speaker 2: available our local Diso stores, Amazon at etowin dot com.
Speaker 2: That's I t O e n dot com. Showey Otani
Speaker 2: had himself a night on Wednesday as the Dodgers as
Speaker 2: a group hit five home runs, four in the first inning.
Speaker 2: Tommy Edmund hit two home runs on Tuesday Night, comes
Speaker 2: back on Wednesday against the Cubs, hits a two run
Speaker 2: home run of the first then hits a two run
Speaker 2: home run in the eighth inning to help out the
Speaker 2: Dodgers with some insurance runs as they go on and
Speaker 2: win at ten to eight. And afterwards, Tommy Edmund talked
Speaker 2: to the media, I think this.
Speaker 7: Past homestand like, we've had some crazy games, so you know,
Speaker 7: getting some rest is always nice, but it's not really
Speaker 7: an optics. We're traveling out to Atlanta, but yeah, I know,
Speaker 7: it has been nice to have a string of a
Speaker 7: couple of good games in a row, just you.
Speaker 3: Know, hitting wise, what you have four homers in twenty
Speaker 3: four hours, what's really working for you?
Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't know if I've ever done that before
Speaker 7: in my life, but you know, I feel like I've
Speaker 7: kind of gotten locked into a pretty good routine in
Speaker 7: the cage, you know, really working on uh the mechanics
Speaker 7: and and having consistent movements in my swing, and I
Speaker 7: think the results are paying off.
Speaker 8: And we did it from both sides, right mm hmm, yep, yep,
Speaker 8: both sides.
Speaker 7: Kind of working on a couple of different things from
Speaker 7: from each side of the plate, but I think I'm
Speaker 7: doing a good job.
Speaker 8: Of becoming more consistent from each side. Do you ever
Speaker 8: work from both sides of the plate in one game? No,
Speaker 8: that was my first one. First time.
Speaker 7: I'd had a few where it was either too righty
Speaker 7: or two lefty, but that was the first right and left.
Speaker 7: That same part when you're kind of locked in from
Speaker 7: one side, like your three or three home runs righty
Speaker 7: and then but you're you're maybe struggling a little bit
Speaker 7: left handed, like to just keep that consistency, Yeah, I
Speaker 7: think being a switch hitter is is definitely tough because
Speaker 7: it's it's kind of rare to be completely locked in
Speaker 7: both right handed and left handed at the same time.
Speaker 7: So that's kind of why it's it's tough to have
Speaker 7: those games where you home, we're both righty and lefty,
Speaker 7: but you know, hopefully I can uh become locked in
Speaker 7: from both sides of the play.
Speaker 5: Now, how incredible is it to watch show?
Speaker 6: Hey, you've been able to do it here for the last.
Speaker 7: Month or so, but but yeah, pretty much it Yeah,
Speaker 7: I mean each day he does something, you're like, I've
Speaker 7: never seen anyone do that before.
Speaker 8: You know, the the day game on.
Speaker 7: Sunday, the ball you hit off like the glass and
Speaker 7: right field and then that was one of the lowest
Speaker 7: home runs I think I've seen it. I think it's
Speaker 7: like nineteen degrees off the bat.
Speaker 8: He just he crushes the ball. And to do that
Speaker 8: and steal as.
Speaker 7: Many bases as he as he is too is pretty incredible.
Speaker 5: Are you excited for him? Fifteen fifty?
Speaker 9: I mean, obviously it helps the team, so you're probably excited,
Speaker 9: night sense, But for a guy to do that.
Speaker 8: And for you to be on the team and watch
Speaker 8: it Yeah, Yeah, it's crazy.
Speaker 7: I mean, never been done before, and I mean he
Speaker 7: does things that you know, nobody's ever done before on
Speaker 7: a on a daily basis, and you.
Speaker 8: Know, to get to see it is up close is
Speaker 8: really special.
Speaker 7: Time. No, I've if I could hit a ball one
Speaker 7: hundred and eighteen miles an hour, I'd I don't know,
Speaker 7: that'd be crazy. But yeah, I'm just I'm honestly kind
Speaker 7: of trying to learn from him, just just seeing the
Speaker 7: way he goes about it day to day business.
Speaker 8: And yeah, it's pretty impressive.
Speaker 7: You know, he's very consistent and same demeanor throughout, and
Speaker 7: I think that's why there's a good players.
Speaker 8: At this point of the season with the new team.
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, I mean it's it's I think it's
Speaker 7: just a huge blessing to be back on the field.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 7: I obviously I had the surgery in the off season
Speaker 7: and I didn't really know what my season would look like.
Speaker 7: And to get traded here and the think of a
Speaker 7: playoff race and and to be able to contribute like
Speaker 7: this is is a huge blessing. And you know, if
Speaker 7: I looked back a couple of months ago, I would
Speaker 7: have had no idea what my season would have looked
Speaker 7: like So I'm just glad, glad to be here and
Speaker 7: part of.

Speaker 2: Dodgers and Braids from Atlanta. First pitch coming up at
Speaker 2: four twenty.
Speaker 1: It's the LA Dodgers Injury Report.
Speaker 2: Presented by UCLA Healthy, Official medical partner of the Los
Speaker 2: Angeles Dodgers. Clayton Kershaw on the IL with the turf
Speaker 2: toe and his big left toe, Joe Kelly on the
Speaker 2: IL with the right shoulder inflammation, Gavin Stone on the
Speaker 2: IL with the elbow inflammation. Tyler Glassteal. More on him
Speaker 2: coming up, but just a moment. He was supposed to
Speaker 2: throw a sim game today with the right elbow tend
Speaker 2: Tonight is Dave Roberts kind of an update and more
Speaker 2: on that also with David Vasse coming up in just
Speaker 2: a little bit, Let's head back to Atlanta and here
Speaker 2: from the Dodgers Getbird.
Speaker 1: Questions for Dave, Dave, can you just describe Dave?
Speaker 5: Can you talk about the pressure.
Speaker 1: In the dugouts with Dave Roberts.
Speaker 9: We heard that Tyler did not participate in his simulated game.
Speaker 9: Can you give us any details on why he.
Speaker 10: Just felt some discomfort in his arm and felt that
Speaker 10: we had to cut it short and couldn't go through
Speaker 10: with the sim game. So obviously it's a setback. I
Speaker 10: don't know what that means as far as the coming days.
Speaker 10: I do know that we're just going to kind of
Speaker 10: reassess and CEI feels over the next couple of days
Speaker 10: and see when we can pick up the throne again.
Speaker 9: Is that the first time you've experienced a picture warming
Speaker 9: up and you guys have everything set up and at
Speaker 9: that point he can't.
Speaker 10: Go no, no, That's happened numerous times.
Speaker 5: Yeah, So yeah, it.
Speaker 2: Was when he was warming up, like in a pen,
Speaker 2: he started to feel it.
Speaker 5: Yep, yep.
Speaker 10: He was warming up throwing the pen and and honestly
Speaker 10: from the outset he felt good, and then I was
Speaker 10: I was there.
Speaker 11: It looked good.
Speaker 10: And then when he got to kind of throw, you know,
Speaker 10: twenty three, twenty four, it just started to not feel good.
Speaker 10: And then he was smart in the sense of, you know,
Speaker 10: cutting it short so he didn't put himself in harm's way.
Speaker 12: Is he gonna go adminish your guys office waving me
Speaker 12: back this season?
Speaker 10: It's certainly not helpful and positive, but you know again,
Speaker 10: we'll see how he comes in tomorrow, and it's certainly
Speaker 10: not dead. But just today I thought we made the
Speaker 10: right decision. If he didn't feel well enough to continue,
Speaker 10: there's no sense in pushing it today. I know he's
Speaker 10: in with the training staff, so I don't know. I'm
Speaker 10: sure there's gonna be some testing gonna be done.
Speaker 8: And it was like twenty pitches in.
Speaker 10: The whole I think it was, so I think right
Speaker 10: around he probably end up throwing about twenty five picks
Speaker 10: something like that, right, and is kind of somewhere in
Speaker 10: his arm or mean more, yeah, somewhere in his arm,
Speaker 10: not shoulder, But I don't know if it's.
Speaker 8: Yeah, the same.
Speaker 5: It's going pretty head to begin with it.
Speaker 12: Yes, you can get it said, you're going to reassess everything,
Speaker 12: but given you know his past stuff with the forum
Speaker 12: and out going out of this stuff, like how much
Speaker 12: do you weigh that into you know, his ability the
Speaker 12: rest of the way.
Speaker 10: It's a big part of the equation, and so obviously
Speaker 10: where we're at the calendar and all that stuff, but
Speaker 10: his health is most important. How we build him up,
Speaker 10: how we get them pain free. All those are conversations
Speaker 10: that he's got to have with the training staff and
Speaker 10: see where we're at. So all I know right now
Speaker 10: is that we just couldn't finish the simulated game today.
Speaker 10: So that's telling in a lot of senses.
Speaker 2: All right. There's Dave Roberts with the latest so not
Speaker 2: good news about Tyler Glass now discomfort still in his
Speaker 2: right arm and who was supposed to throw the same game.
Speaker 2: More on that from David Veasse and what this means
Speaker 2: moving forward with dv Coming up in just a little bit,
Speaker 2: Dave Roberts down the dugout brought to you by Service Titan.

Speaker 2: we'll hear from David VESSI don't forget coming up at
Speaker 2: about ten minutes your Zinchet Sweet Life Challenge to lead
Speaker 2: you out to first pitch from Atlanta Dodgers and Braves
Speaker 2: of Tim Kats's Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 1: This is Marongo Casino, Dodgers on deck on your home
Speaker 1: for the blue all Season Law.
Speaker 2: It's the Dodgers and Braves on this Friday afternoon. Landing
Speaker 2: Neck and Spencer Schwellenbach. You're pitching matchup. First pitch coming
Speaker 2: up at four twenty. This umpiring crew for today's game
Speaker 2: is brought to you by Fred Loyer Insurance, celebrating fifty
Speaker 2: year of providing reliable and affordable car insurance for you
Speaker 2: and your family.
Speaker 1: Joining Tim Kats on Dodgers on Deck.
Speaker 5: I accept everybody for who they are.
Speaker 1: This is Dodger insider David Bassi.
Speaker 2: All right, DV lots to get to here. Let's start
Speaker 2: off with Showy O'tani. A lot of buzz in the
Speaker 2: last forty eight hours about a possible return to the
Speaker 2: mound this season.
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, all season long.
Speaker 9: Tim Dave Roberts says shut down any suggestions that o'tani
Speaker 9: would pitch at any point in time during the regular
Speaker 9: season or even in the postseason. Then today he went
Speaker 9: on his weekly national radio appearance and left the door
Speaker 9: open that he would not put anything past o'tani, including
Speaker 9: pitching in the postseason.
Speaker 5: So we'll see where it goes.
Speaker 9: But obviously the Dodgers are a lot thinner today than
Speaker 9: they were two months ago with their pitching staff, and
Speaker 9: it feels like to be able to get through October,
Speaker 9: they're not going to be able to lean on just
Speaker 9: one or two guys. They're going to have to use
Speaker 9: a whole staff to cover the innings that it will
Speaker 9: take to be able to get to.
Speaker 5: The World Series and win the World Series. And who knows.
Speaker 9: I guess Otani now is possibly in those plants. I
Speaker 9: wouldn't consider him a starting pitcher. If he does come
Speaker 9: back to pitch, I could see him pitching one, maybe
Speaker 9: two innings max in a postseason game if they desperately
Speaker 9: needed it. And I don't believe we'll know until we
Speaker 9: get there. I feel like it's going to be one
Speaker 9: of those situations similar to when Clayton Kershaw would leave
Speaker 9: the Dodger dugout and walk to the bullpen in a
Speaker 9: playoff game and all of a sudden, the antennas go
Speaker 9: up all right, here we go, Kershaw's available out of
Speaker 9: the bullpen. It feels like that would be the type
Speaker 9: of scenario and we wouldn't find out until it was happening.
Speaker 2: David has driven by Ford it there's one thing we
Speaker 2: like its choices, find yours with the Ford one fifty
Speaker 2: gas hybrid all electric tough, this mark can only be
Speaker 2: called F one fifty. We heard Dave Roberts talk about
Speaker 2: Tyler Glass now in the same game that never happened. Dave,
Speaker 2: how much of a setback is this? And what else
Speaker 2: do we know?
Speaker 5: Huge setback?
Speaker 9: And I remember Dave Roberts was asked who he thought
Speaker 9: had a better chance of pitching for the Dodgers in
Speaker 9: October and he said, back then two weeks ago, it
Speaker 9: would be Yamamoto. Well, he obviously knew something because Yamamoto
Speaker 9: looked fantastic in his first game back last week at
Speaker 9: Dodgers Stadium. And here we are with Tyler Glass now
Speaker 9: having a huge setback.
Speaker 5: I feel like if.
Speaker 9: He does not get on the mound again on this
Speaker 9: road trip to throw a simulated game, the chances of
Speaker 9: him being available for the NLDS are considerably lower than
Speaker 9: they were yesterday. And I would I would definitely put
Speaker 9: it in doubt that he would be available to pitch
Speaker 9: the rest of the year if he does not throw
Speaker 9: a simulated game on this road trip.
Speaker 2: All right, Dave switching gears. Freddie Freeman celebrated on a
Speaker 2: birthday yesterday.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he did.
Speaker 9: And he's back in Atlanta, where he called home for
Speaker 9: a number of years. He still has a home here
Speaker 9: in Atlanta, and he did celebrate with eighteen members of
Speaker 9: his family who flew out from Los Angeles to be
Speaker 9: able to celebrate with him and his oldest son. Charlie's
Speaker 9: birthday is on Sunday, so they're going to have a
Speaker 9: birthday party for Charlie at the house tomorrow. And Freddie
Speaker 9: was still lamenting the fact that he's in a little
Speaker 9: bit of a slump, and he said, you know what's
Speaker 9: great about a slump, You've got to get a hit
Speaker 9: at some point. So he's looking to feel right back
Speaker 9: at home in a place he won the twenty one
Speaker 9: World Series with the Braves.
Speaker 2: All Right, Dave, you've done a little snooping around and
Speaker 2: you found out exactly what Clayton Kershaw told Yamamoto a
Speaker 2: couple days ago in that meeting in the bullpen.
Speaker 9: Right, Yeah, I guess I wish it was a little
Speaker 9: bit more dramatic than the way Kerr told.
Speaker 5: It to me.
Speaker 9: He said, all I told him to do was release
Speaker 9: the curveball a little further out in front of him
Speaker 9: and talking to Japanese reporters that wanted to know what
Speaker 9: Kershaw said. They told me, Yes, not a big deal
Speaker 9: for Kershaw, but it meant the world to Yamamoto. So
Speaker 9: it's how you look at it. And for Yamamoto, he
Speaker 9: certainly appreciates the suggestion and the tip because he believes
Speaker 9: that really made his curveball effective in his first start
Speaker 9: back since June fifteenth.
Speaker 2: No doubt about it. He looked good. Hopefully more of
Speaker 2: that coming here in the rest of September and October.

Speaker 2: deeper to this bitch match up. Carl Crawford still to come,
Speaker 2: but first and now.
Speaker 1: Joined by David Basseying, Here's La Dodgers broadcast and World
Speaker 1: Series champion Dodger Rick Monday.
Speaker 9: Rick, the Dodgers kick off this seven game road trip
Speaker 9: here in Atlanta, and you had a good time catching
Speaker 9: up with a former Dodger and now Braves broadcaster Joe Simpson.
Speaker 6: Now one of the really good guys who understood exceptionally well.
Speaker 6: He was one of the better outfielders that you could
Speaker 6: have found. And we were talking about fundamentals of outfield play,
Speaker 6: fundamentals of throwing the ball, which sounds somewhat elementary, but
Speaker 6: it is not elementary when you're throwing from a long distance,
Speaker 6: in that being from the outfield itself, you know if
Speaker 6: the ball is tailing mechanically, not only the way you're
Speaker 6: holding the ball, you want to have a cross seams
Speaker 6: that released the ball too, but also your footwork. And
Speaker 6: Joe understood that very well and he was kind of demonstrating.
Speaker 6: But it's nice to talk to some baseball people about
Speaker 6: what appears to be things that are taken for granted,
Speaker 6: somewhat simplistic, but it means a big difference for a
Speaker 6: runners safe a out rick.
Speaker 9: You're so right about that, because a lot of people
Speaker 9: around the game believe in the minor leagues there's too
Speaker 9: much focus on only hitting and pitching. There's a lot
Speaker 9: of other parts that go into being a good baseball player.
Speaker 6: There's a reason that one team is on offense and
Speaker 6: the other is on defense, and the guy's on the
Speaker 6: defensive end of it. There's a reason they have gloves,
Speaker 6: but it's not just the gloms. What about the footwork?
Speaker 6: You can run, you can catch the ball. What do
Speaker 6: you do with it? Once you catch the ball? You
Speaker 6: have to be able to set up, understand fundamentally how
Speaker 6: you set up to make a throw and make a
Speaker 6: very good throw, and understand is that every throw that
Speaker 6: you make, you want to hit the cutoff man. Can't
Speaker 6: tag anybody out when no one has the ball, and
Speaker 6: if you miss a cutoff man, no one has the baseball.
Speaker 9: Rick I was asked earlier today what would be considered
Speaker 9: a successful road trip for the Dodgers. Isn't it just
Speaker 9: about being able to keep the parts healthy and play
Speaker 9: better and clean baseball?
Speaker 6: Yep, yeah, I think we get focused on what's the
Speaker 6: clinch state, what's the clinch date? Dave robertson the other
Speaker 6: day he said, we haven't clenched anything so far. So
Speaker 6: to get there, what do you do? You have to
Speaker 6: play good baseball. And if we look over this last
Speaker 6: homestand Dodgers did not play on a consistent basis up
Speaker 6: to the ability that they had. If they didn't have
Speaker 6: the ability, we wouldn't even be talking about it. But
Speaker 6: they had the ability in the one game. I mean
Speaker 6: it was a terrible game. Three physical errors there were
Speaker 6: some mental errors also that went to the wayside. Again.
Speaker 6: I thought it was interesting to Dave Roberts when asked
Speaker 6: in the postgame, are you going to talk to your
Speaker 6: ball club that night? And he said no, they understand
Speaker 6: what we did and did not do. He said, we'll
Speaker 6: have a couple of private conversations or just at ease
Speaker 6: conversations with players the following day. They know exactly what
Speaker 6: they have to do. As far as clinching things. Here's
Speaker 6: a possibility that they could do it on this particular
Speaker 6: road trip. But even if you clinch, where do you
Speaker 6: go from there? There are bigger issues I think than
Speaker 6: clinching Dodgers will be in postseason play. Who are they
Speaker 6: going to have on the active roster? I think those
Speaker 6: are the bigger questions than are they going to do
Speaker 6: this and are they going to clinch? Because there's some
Speaker 6: big question marks really on this ball club as to
Speaker 6: who in the pitching end of it is going to
Speaker 6: be on the twenty six man roster for postseason playing.
Speaker 9: And just being around Kershawn and Walker Buehler earlier today
Speaker 9: in the clubhouse, Rick, I get the sense they are searching,
Speaker 9: searching for different things. Kershaw's searching to get his toe healthy,
Speaker 9: and Bueller's just searching to pitch better.
Speaker 6: Yeah, well, there's two other names you have to include.
Speaker 6: Bobby Miller has made two starts. I've been surprised by
Speaker 6: both the post game comments and Bobby Miller. He thinks
Speaker 6: he's pitched well and it's just good swings. Well, I
Speaker 6: think there's a correlation between bad pitches and good swings,
Speaker 6: and then we see a lot of good swings coming
Speaker 6: against bad pitches.
Speaker 8: The consistency is.
Speaker 6: Not been there. There's another big question. We may find
Speaker 6: out more about it today. Tyler glasnow was scheduled to
Speaker 6: have a bullpen session a live SIM game today. My
Speaker 6: sources say he warmed up in the bullpen, hitters were
Speaker 6: ready with helmets in hand, and then the sim game
Speaker 6: was canceled. More to come on that one, evidently, Yeah.
Speaker 5: Dave Roberts said it's a setback.
Speaker 9: He did feel pain in the same area that put
Speaker 9: him on the il, So no ways around it.
Speaker 5: This is a setback for Tyler glass.
Speaker 6: Here's my question, how do you have a sim game
Speaker 6: schedule and you understand that there's still pain was there?
Speaker 6: How did it get to that point where you go, Hey, oh,
Speaker 6: we found out today and there's still some discomfort.
Speaker 5: Feels like one day there's pain, one day there's not.
Speaker 9: It could be I'm not sure, and I'm not sure
Speaker 9: the Dodgers are quite sure how to wrap their heads
Speaker 9: around Tyler Glassnow's right elbow and his six eight body frame.
Speaker 6: At this point in time, hopefully everybody's going to be healthy,
Speaker 6: because right now it's kind of the shock.
Speaker 8: Troops are in there for.
Speaker 6: The pitching, and the bullpen has been sensation the workload
Speaker 6: that they've had.
Speaker 5: Hey, how about the guy tonight? Rick? I feel like
Speaker 5: he's the most overlooked starter.
Speaker 6: And I'm glad you brought that up because he does
Speaker 6: not pitch scared and he has answered the bell. You
Speaker 6: start to look, who's the most consistent really right now
Speaker 6: in this book? Love, you really have to like what
Speaker 6: Landon Neck has done, and especially you start to look, Okay,
Speaker 6: this is his tenth start, a couple of relief appearances.
Speaker 6: You know, he's only given up a one ninety five
Speaker 6: banning average.
Speaker 5: Against That's what I'm talking about.
Speaker 9: We're focused on Bobby Miller and Tyler glassnew and Walker Buehler,
Speaker 9: while this guy who's not been on a five day
Speaker 9: routine has been pretty solid for the Dodger.
Speaker 6: You got to play with those that you got.
Speaker 9: That's right, and maybe you're not the flashiest guy, but
Speaker 9: I get the job done.
Speaker 6: Here's the question, are you done?
Speaker 5: I'm done right now.
Speaker 9: Okay, we'll be back a little bit later on the show,
Speaker 9: but for now, Tim.
Speaker 5: We'll send it back to you in the studio.
Speaker 2: All right, Thanks a lot, DV Dodger fans. Start your
Speaker 2: future at a California community college. Financial aids available to
Speaker 2: help you with tuition, in the books, and sometimes even

Speaker 11: seen what twenty sixteen. So you know, it's good to
Speaker 11: get around the game and getting the ballpark, you know
Speaker 11: it feels good.
Speaker 9: What was it like going into the clubhouse to see
Speaker 9: some of the guys that you played with. There's not
Speaker 9: too many, but there's still a few familiar faces.
Speaker 11: But the funny thing is a lot of you guys
Speaker 11: were so young when I was, when I was when
Speaker 11: I retired, that they like, oh like little grown little
Speaker 11: men into they prims now. So it was cool to
Speaker 11: see them. Man, I'm glad to see that. You know,
Speaker 11: guys that I worked with when they was young or
Speaker 11: you know, doing doing excelling and doing real well in
Speaker 11: the big league right now.
Speaker 9: Did you remember the little guy Austin Barnes. He is
Speaker 9: a second basement night as a cat.
Speaker 11: One of the we was one of the cool little ones.
Speaker 8: You know.
Speaker 11: Him and Jack Peterson used to be side by side,
Speaker 11: you know what I'm saying. So, yeah, man, well those guys, yeah, man,
Speaker 11: Like I said, it's nice to see him and see
Speaker 11: him actually doing well.
Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 11: Those were some good players and I always thought they
Speaker 11: was gonna be really good players. And to see how
Speaker 11: they how they turn out, is great.
Speaker 9: Carl. You brought back some great memories, like do you
Speaker 9: remember in the clubhouse Jack Peterson looking up to you
Speaker 9: just want to leave your side the player that he's become.
Speaker 5: Did you see that when he was a rookie?
Speaker 11: Ye, I saw it, you know what I'm saying with
Speaker 11: rookie And then you know, like I said, I had
Speaker 11: to go down for a couple of thinks in the
Speaker 11: minor league. So I saw him when he was going
Speaker 11: thirty thirty in the minors, So I already knew he
Speaker 11: he had the talent to do what he's doing. Now
Speaker 11: you know he's I'm glad his personality is still the same.
Speaker 11: He still has fun to go about the game in
Speaker 11: a great way. So, uh, you know, it's good to
Speaker 11: see that he's doing well. One of my little what
Speaker 11: they say, protezades and whatnot, little brothers. Yeah, yeah, man,
Speaker 11: little bro real though, So now I'm glad to see
Speaker 11: you're doing well.
Speaker 9: When you look back your ear back at your career,
Speaker 9: what do you think about the most.
Speaker 11: I just think about just always playing and just being
Speaker 11: in different cities, meeting new people, being around the gods,
Speaker 11: and just competing. You know, that's one of the toughest
Speaker 11: things that when you've done playing, you gotta find someone
Speaker 11: else to you to take that competitive nature too. You
Speaker 11: know what I'm saying, and use those are some of
Speaker 11: the things you missed when you leave the game.
Speaker 9: When you retired from baseball, where did you channel all
Speaker 9: of that competitive design.
Speaker 11: Talented, ho talented, I can said to the music business.
Speaker 11: You know, I took I took my craft really really serious.
Speaker 11: I understood that nobody was gonna take me serious in it,
Speaker 11: and that you know, if I put together, if I
Speaker 11: put the effort like I did into baseball, like I
Speaker 11: did into any other type of enterprise, that I'll be successful.
Speaker 11: And that's that's kind of an approach I took.
Speaker 9: Yeah, you got your own record label. You're very successful,
Speaker 9: Carl Crawford.
Speaker 11: You know, it took me a lot of how to
Speaker 11: go through a lot, just like anybody starting a new business.
Speaker 11: At the end of the day, Uh, we here and
Speaker 11: I'm I got new artists that I want to put
Speaker 11: out there, and you know, I just want to watch
Speaker 11: my son play and promote new promote new new artists
Speaker 11: and do stuff like that.
Speaker 9: Your son, Justin Crawford, is rising through the Phillies minor leagues.
Speaker 9: He was one of the top picks in the Nature
Speaker 9: League draft a few years ago.
Speaker 5: How proud are you of Justin?
Speaker 11: Well, I'm I'm so proud of him because he said
Speaker 11: goes to to you know, to to beat my goals
Speaker 11: and to actually see him a compass though it was great.
Speaker 11: You know, I have a story here with one of
Speaker 11: the clubhouse here, Chico. Yeah, yeah, Chico used to be
Speaker 11: in a dugout with him when he was a kid.
Speaker 11: And I tell my I tell Justin, hey, don't you
Speaker 11: talk about money, contracts, nothing. And as soon as I leave,
Speaker 11: Chico say, he talking about me everything you told him
Speaker 11: not to. He say he gonna get that contract one day.
Speaker 11: He don't care what did Daddy say?
Speaker 1: So?
Speaker 11: And he did so, you know, stuff like that. You
Speaker 11: know what I'm saying, beat my time in the sixties
Speaker 11: and uh, you know what I'm saying, just just just
Speaker 11: being an all around polished player already at where he's
Speaker 11: at his career.
Speaker 9: How much do you think you bringing him to the
Speaker 9: ballpark when you were playing for the Dodgers really get
Speaker 9: gave him a couple of legs up on the rest
Speaker 9: of the kids.
Speaker 11: Always give him advantage because you know that the wild
Speaker 11: factor is gone. They come in and they like, oh well,
Speaker 11: I mean, you know, they people gonna always get excited
Speaker 11: because it's the big leagues. But you know, it makes
Speaker 11: it a little easier when you can come see a
Speaker 11: guy that you was chilling with, you know what I'm
Speaker 11: saying when you were about seven or eight, you know,
Speaker 11: and just talk to him and kind of get comfortable
Speaker 11: and uh, you know that way you can go about
Speaker 11: your business. And then he has a real business like approach.
Speaker 11: So whether whether he was in the clubhouse or now,
Speaker 11: he's gonna come in and focus. He laysers show focus.
Speaker 9: And Carl Crawford still got that signature smile. Justin looks
Speaker 9: almost exactly like you. When I see him smile, I
Speaker 9: think of you.
Speaker 11: Yeah, Nah, that's cool. That's the way it's supposed to be. Man,
Speaker 11: that's my son. Even though he you know, he's like
Speaker 11: we look you know, we look more like brothers, like
Speaker 11: brothers together. So he don't like to tell people on his dad.
Speaker 9: You know, speaking of family, what about your brothers. Do
Speaker 9: you still got the barbecue going in Houston?
Speaker 11: We still got the barbecue restaurant and burn Barbecue. My
Speaker 11: brother still aroun dad. We still do all the family stuff. Yeah,
Speaker 11: and I got other kids coming up, you know, Justin
Speaker 11: didn't gonna be the only one in the big leagues. Yeah.
Speaker 5: So, and then I got nephews.
Speaker 11: You know what I'm saying, Like we still have a
Speaker 11: whole feminine fellow major leagues.

Speaker 9: before I let you go, that's John Sue.

Speaker 5: What's going on? Man?
Speaker 11: Making me feel oh man, like Jesus So Yeah, man,
Speaker 11: it's all good.
Speaker 9: You were with the Dodgers for a short time, but
Speaker 9: it seems like you left such a great impression with
Speaker 9: everybody that came in contact. You had so much joy,
Speaker 9: and guys would tell me you were the funniest guy
Speaker 9: in the clubhouse.
Speaker 11: Oh no, you know, you gotta try to stay loose,
Speaker 11: so like I stay mare it's a long season and
Speaker 11: enjoy everything. When I got to La, you know, it
Speaker 11: was it was just one of those things where I
Speaker 11: was able to smile again because you know, I had
Speaker 11: just came off the stuff from Boston, so La was
Speaker 11: just like it was just the hend of note I
Speaker 11: needed at the moment. Yeah.
Speaker 9: You people ask me what you were, Like, I always
Speaker 9: tell him, I said, I would read Carl the schedule
Speaker 9: for next year and I would tell him whether or
Speaker 9: not we were going to Boston.
Speaker 11: Hey, I was able to I was able to avoid
Speaker 11: it for three years.
Speaker 1: Man.
Speaker 11: So you know, hey man, I gotta looky man. But
Speaker 11: you know, like I said, I enjoyed my time in La.
Speaker 11: I wish I could have played longer, but at the
Speaker 11: end of the day, I took it for what it
Speaker 11: is worth. And uh, like I said, I really appreciate
Speaker 11: the fans in La the people, the city to town, everything.
Speaker 11: So I really enjoyed my time I stayed in La.
