9
00:00:27.359 --> 00:00:30.440

29
00:01:24.920 --> 00:01:29.040
<v Speaker 2>Broadcast booth. Well Wednesday night, a frustrating call turned into

30
00:01:29.079 --> 00:01:30.840
<v Speaker 2>a frustrating night for the Dodgers.

31
00:01:31.200 --> 00:01:32.799
<v Speaker 3>Cavin Stone got the start.

32
00:01:33.079 --> 00:01:36.840
<v Speaker 2>The right hander immediately got tagged by Kyle Schwarber for

33
00:01:36.920 --> 00:01:37.760
<v Speaker 2>a home run.

34
00:01:37.560 --> 00:01:38.359
<v Speaker 3>To lead off the game.

35
00:01:38.439 --> 00:01:41.400
<v Speaker 2>The Phillies the early one nothing lead, but that didn't

36
00:01:41.480 --> 00:01:44.599
<v Speaker 2>last long. Is a Dodgers answer back In the bottom

37
00:01:44.599 --> 00:01:47.239
<v Speaker 2>of the first Freddie Freeman and RBI single tied the

38
00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:51.799
<v Speaker 2>game at none and won and then came at Gel Rojas.

39
00:01:51.079 --> 00:01:54.560
<v Speaker 4>One ozer pitch, Rojas blisters of all the left field. Hey,

40
00:01:54.599 --> 00:01:57.400
<v Speaker 4>he's coming in, it's sicking. He can't all make the cats.

41
00:01:58.239 --> 00:02:02.079
<v Speaker 4>Freeman cross his home play Dodgers half the lead. A

42
00:02:02.319 --> 00:02:05.599
<v Speaker 4>tie breaking single for Miguel Rojas in his first plate

43
00:02:05.640 --> 00:02:08.319
<v Speaker 4>appearance off the Il Harvey I.

44
00:02:08.479 --> 00:02:11.439
<v Speaker 2>Single for Miguel Dodgers up two to one. In the second,

45
00:02:11.479 --> 00:02:14.800
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers added to their lead thanks to Freddy Freeman.

46
00:02:15.479 --> 00:02:16.080
<v Speaker 5>First pitcher.

47
00:02:16.120 --> 00:02:18.879
<v Speaker 4>Freeman, He's swinging a little flair left side, turning going

48
00:02:18.919 --> 00:02:22.120
<v Speaker 4>back from shore. It drops in the left field arm

49
00:02:22.240 --> 00:02:23.840
<v Speaker 4>scores Kiermia.

50
00:02:23.479 --> 00:02:27.039
<v Speaker 6>Right behind him. A two run bloop single for.

51
00:02:27.159 --> 00:02:31.960
<v Speaker 4>Freddy Freeman, and now he's got three RBIs.

52
00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:34.960
<v Speaker 6>The Dodgers have a three run lead, four to one.

53
00:02:35.319 --> 00:02:38.000
<v Speaker 7>That's the O line in the box score tomorrow. That

54
00:02:38.039 --> 00:02:39.759
<v Speaker 7>will look like a line drive.

55
00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:42.400
<v Speaker 2>No doubt about a two out, two run single for

56
00:02:42.439 --> 00:02:44.840
<v Speaker 2>Freddy Freeman. That is the top tier play of the game,

57
00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:47.680
<v Speaker 2>brought to you by Arco quality, top tier gas for less.

58
00:02:47.719 --> 00:02:48.120
<v Speaker 3>Dodgers.

59
00:02:48.120 --> 00:02:51.039
<v Speaker 2>With a four to one lead and feeling good. In

60
00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:54.400
<v Speaker 2>the fifth though, things started to get away from Gavin Stone.

61
00:02:54.560 --> 00:02:56.439
<v Speaker 2>Kyle Schwarber a two run double that made it a

62
00:02:56.439 --> 00:02:59.360
<v Speaker 2>four to three Dodgers lead. In the sixth inning, Alex

63
00:02:59.400 --> 00:03:02.639
<v Speaker 2>Baum to the left, Brandon Marsh grounded into a fielder's

64
00:03:02.759 --> 00:03:05.000
<v Speaker 2>choice at third, but Key k hernet Is.

65
00:03:05.039 --> 00:03:07.759
<v Speaker 3>His throw to Miguel Rojas.

66
00:03:07.439 --> 00:03:12.840
<v Speaker 2>Ruled interference by umpire Hunter Windelstead. Boom then scored on

67
00:03:12.879 --> 00:03:15.719
<v Speaker 2>a jt Real Muto RBI ground out to third against

68
00:03:15.800 --> 00:03:19.360
<v Speaker 2>Joe Kelly. That tide they came at four. Joe Kelly walked,

69
00:03:19.400 --> 00:03:23.000
<v Speaker 2>Nick Castianis, Joe on Rojastin loaded the bases. Brandon Marsh

70
00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:25.400
<v Speaker 2>scored on a wild pitch and fell apart for the

71
00:03:25.479 --> 00:03:29.080
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers in that sixth inning. Kyle Schwarber in his twenty

72
00:03:29.080 --> 00:03:31.080
<v Speaker 2>seventh home run to lead off the ninth inning against

73
00:03:31.120 --> 00:03:33.840
<v Speaker 2>Michael Grove, the Dodgers let one get away. They fall

74
00:03:33.879 --> 00:03:36.520
<v Speaker 2>to the Phillies nine to four. Dodgers blow a lead

75
00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:39.240
<v Speaker 2>for the second straight game. Dodgers dropped two of three

76
00:03:39.280 --> 00:03:42.280
<v Speaker 2>to Philadelphia. They're now sixty six and forty nine on

77
00:03:42.319 --> 00:03:44.879
<v Speaker 2>this season, and they're lead now two and a half

78
00:03:44.919 --> 00:03:48.560
<v Speaker 2>games in the Division over the Padres, and tonight the

79
00:03:48.599 --> 00:03:52.039

90
00:04:17.680 --> 00:04:20.240
<v Speaker 7>of different ways. Dodgers, steady, and first of all, Dusty

<v Speaker 5>And I have the pleasure.

94
00:04:27.480 --> 00:04:32.800
<v Speaker 7>Of bringing back on the air not only a friend

95
00:04:32.800 --> 00:04:36.560
<v Speaker 7>of mine, but a broadcast partner of mine that I

96
00:04:36.680 --> 00:04:40.160
<v Speaker 7>have dearly missed. And he's here and we're going to

97
00:04:40.399 --> 00:04:43.519
<v Speaker 7>do some baseball. And that's Charlie Steiner and Charlie. I

98
00:04:43.519 --> 00:04:46.639
<v Speaker 7>cannot tell you enough how many times people have said,

99
00:04:46.800 --> 00:04:49.920
<v Speaker 7>how's Charlie doing well? Charlie is doing well enough, and

100
00:04:50.040 --> 00:04:51.199
<v Speaker 7>welcome back, my friend.

101
00:04:51.480 --> 00:04:55.759
<v Speaker 8>You know, this is our twentieth year together, and I thought, well,

102
00:04:56.000 --> 00:04:59.360
<v Speaker 8>happy anniversary. I'm sorry I'm a little late to wish it,

103
00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:03.160
<v Speaker 8>but we're back. You know, some folks know that I've

104
00:05:03.160 --> 00:05:06.680
<v Speaker 8>had a bad back. I don't recommend it to anyone,

105
00:05:07.120 --> 00:05:10.800
<v Speaker 8>but we're getting better. We're here tonight. A I miss you,

106
00:05:11.639 --> 00:05:18.680
<v Speaker 8>I miss Dwayne, I miss David. Is so much fun

107
00:05:18.839 --> 00:05:22.759
<v Speaker 8>to see everybody again. I've been sneaking in and out

108
00:05:23.600 --> 00:05:26.360
<v Speaker 8>here and there the last couple of weeks as I

109
00:05:26.399 --> 00:05:28.920
<v Speaker 8>am progressing, and we'll get to do a couple of

110
00:05:28.959 --> 00:05:32.839
<v Speaker 8>innings tonight together. I miss you, guys. Don't get me gone,

111
00:05:32.839 --> 00:05:35.079
<v Speaker 8>I'll start to tear up. I'm so happy.

112
00:05:35.120 --> 00:05:36.399
<v Speaker 5>Well, we're not going to let that happen.

113
00:05:36.399 --> 00:05:38.040
<v Speaker 7>But you and I have been talking about this Dodger

114
00:05:38.040 --> 00:05:39.800
<v Speaker 7>ball club on and off because we're on the phone.

115
00:05:39.839 --> 00:05:41.600
<v Speaker 7>A lot of we're not on the phone, we're texting

116
00:05:41.639 --> 00:05:43.680
<v Speaker 7>back and forth. Okay, the lead is two and a

117
00:05:43.720 --> 00:05:46.040
<v Speaker 7>half games. The Dodgers since the opening day, which took

118
00:05:46.040 --> 00:05:48.600
<v Speaker 7>place in South Korea, have had a share of the

119
00:05:48.680 --> 00:05:51.639
<v Speaker 7>lead in the nash League Western Division. But quite frankly,

120
00:05:51.720 --> 00:05:53.879
<v Speaker 7>they need to play better. They need to hit better,

121
00:05:54.199 --> 00:05:57.360
<v Speaker 7>and they also need some healthy guys that can pitch better.

122
00:05:57.680 --> 00:06:01.920
<v Speaker 8>Well, and talking about help. At least now it looks

123
00:06:01.959 --> 00:06:05.720
<v Speaker 8>like Mookie will be back. He's been on the field

124
00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:09.759
<v Speaker 8>here today last couple of days and I gather he'll

125
00:06:09.759 --> 00:06:12.399
<v Speaker 8>be back in right field and not at short stop

126
00:06:12.480 --> 00:06:16.600
<v Speaker 8>beginning on Monday. And as you mentioned, the Dodgers got

127
00:06:16.639 --> 00:06:19.720
<v Speaker 8>off to the great start that everybody expected and then

128
00:06:19.839 --> 00:06:22.680
<v Speaker 8>now it is really kind of petered out. Yeah, and

129
00:06:22.800 --> 00:06:27.000
<v Speaker 8>for the last what is it, three months, roughly a

130
00:06:27.000 --> 00:06:28.000
<v Speaker 8>five hundred tea.

131
00:06:28.399 --> 00:06:31.319
<v Speaker 7>Your impressions are watching his team. Yes, they've had the injuries,

132
00:06:31.319 --> 00:06:33.720
<v Speaker 7>there's no question about it, but the other guys have

133
00:06:33.800 --> 00:06:35.959
<v Speaker 7>had to step up. They've had to reach into the

134
00:06:35.959 --> 00:06:38.319
<v Speaker 7>minor league level. They've been over thirty three pitchers that

135
00:06:38.360 --> 00:06:41.920
<v Speaker 7>have also been used. But just a brief sketch if

136
00:06:41.920 --> 00:06:44.240
<v Speaker 7>you will, what you have seen from this team of

137
00:06:44.240 --> 00:06:45.199
<v Speaker 7>what you think that.

138
00:06:45.079 --> 00:06:47.360
<v Speaker 5>They need to do as far as the direction from here.

139
00:06:47.360 --> 00:06:51.000
<v Speaker 8>I think health is the big thing. You know, when

140
00:06:51.000 --> 00:06:54.720
<v Speaker 8>you're missing the likes of a Mookie Bets day in

141
00:06:54.839 --> 00:06:57.720
<v Speaker 8>and day out, and when he comes back, you will

142
00:06:57.759 --> 00:07:02.439
<v Speaker 8>be batting second, which I find fascinating, and not short stuff,

143
00:07:02.519 --> 00:07:05.800
<v Speaker 8>but in right field once they get their help. If

144
00:07:06.240 --> 00:07:09.279
<v Speaker 8>my grandmother used to say, how you doing, Grandma, If

145
00:07:09.279 --> 00:07:16.040
<v Speaker 8>you got your health, you got everything, And they're getting close, Hi, Grandma,

146
00:07:16.879 --> 00:07:19.560
<v Speaker 8>buffing beyond all that again, I'm so thrilled to be

147
00:07:20.319 --> 00:07:24.000
<v Speaker 8>back in the booth with you guys and uh but

148
00:07:24.199 --> 00:07:26.920
<v Speaker 8>we'll chat more about it a little bit later on.

149
00:07:27.399 --> 00:07:31.480
<v Speaker 8>But between now and then, much more important stuff than

150
00:07:31.879 --> 00:07:33.040
<v Speaker 8>their health or mine.

151
00:07:33.480 --> 00:07:37.240
<v Speaker 2>We go back to Tim, Charlie. Great to hear your voice.

00:09:04.879 --> 00:09:08.840
<v Speaker 2>five on Wednesday, zero hits in his last nine at

180
00:09:08.879 --> 00:09:12.720
<v Speaker 2>bets going back to the last two games against Philadelphia. However,

181
00:09:12.799 --> 00:09:14.960
<v Speaker 2>he's now hitting three to oh two on this season.

<v Speaker 2>He's still top ten in baseball and batting average in

<v Speaker 6>This is Kirston's corner with Kirston Watson.

189
00:09:43.039 --> 00:09:46.120
<v Speaker 2>And Kirston now joins us from Dodgers Stadium. A busy

190
00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:49.320
<v Speaker 2>day with Dusty Baker going into the Legends of Dodgers

191
00:09:49.360 --> 00:09:52.399
<v Speaker 2>Hall of Fame. But off the field, Mookie Bets getting

192
00:09:52.440 --> 00:09:55.840
<v Speaker 2>closer to returning to this Dodgers lineup, and Kirston when

193
00:09:55.879 --> 00:09:59.200
<v Speaker 2>he does, he's gonna be playing right field.

194
00:10:00.200 --> 00:10:02.720
<v Speaker 9>So he's, like you said, he's getting even closer. And

195
00:10:02.759 --> 00:10:05.159
<v Speaker 9>he's been taking part in different sim games the last

196
00:10:05.159 --> 00:10:08.039
<v Speaker 9>couple of days, including one today, and everyone noticed that

197
00:10:08.080 --> 00:10:10.039
<v Speaker 9>when he was taking part of the sim game in

198
00:10:10.080 --> 00:10:12.840
<v Speaker 9>between is at best, he would go and do some

199
00:10:13.039 --> 00:10:16.240
<v Speaker 9>just defensive reps and he was taking fly balls in

200
00:10:16.440 --> 00:10:18.480
<v Speaker 9>right field. So of course the question came up of

201
00:10:18.919 --> 00:10:21.159
<v Speaker 9>especially after the other day when Dave Roberts said that

202
00:10:21.240 --> 00:10:24.159
<v Speaker 9>he's going to primarily be playing at shortstop, questions came

203
00:10:24.240 --> 00:10:26.559
<v Speaker 9>up of, you know what led to now him getting

204
00:10:26.600 --> 00:10:28.600
<v Speaker 9>reps in right field and what does that mean for

205
00:10:28.679 --> 00:10:31.039
<v Speaker 9>the team. So Dave Roberts today that then he had

206
00:10:31.039 --> 00:10:34.159
<v Speaker 9>a conversation with Movie last night, and you know, They've

207
00:10:34.200 --> 00:10:36.600
<v Speaker 9>been having a lot of conversations just as of late

208
00:10:36.639 --> 00:10:38.919
<v Speaker 9>as kind of what the team needs and things like that,

209
00:10:39.559 --> 00:10:42.559
<v Speaker 9>and it's for both sides. It just made the most

210
00:10:42.600 --> 00:10:45.240
<v Speaker 9>sense for him to go back to right field. They've

211
00:10:45.240 --> 00:10:47.840
<v Speaker 9>obviously been staying that Gavin Bluff has been playing really

212
00:10:47.879 --> 00:10:50.320
<v Speaker 9>strong at second base, and I think you know, earlier

213
00:10:50.399 --> 00:10:53.159
<v Speaker 9>season there are maybe some questions of maybe does movie

214
00:10:53.159 --> 00:10:54.960
<v Speaker 9>come back at the second basement and they come back

215
00:10:54.960 --> 00:10:57.279
<v Speaker 9>at shortstop. And then we've been seeing toguil roof not

216
00:10:57.360 --> 00:11:00.120
<v Speaker 9>only getting his bat going but continuing to play go

217
00:11:00.200 --> 00:11:02.399
<v Speaker 9>in dee bet he's now healthy and he saw him

218
00:11:02.399 --> 00:11:04.799
<v Speaker 9>making some huge plays the other day. And then you

219
00:11:05.120 --> 00:11:07.679
<v Speaker 9>acquire someone like Nick Ahmed, and there's all these other

220
00:11:07.720 --> 00:11:09.960
<v Speaker 9>players that have come in who can kind of play

221
00:11:09.960 --> 00:11:11.960
<v Speaker 9>at different parts of the field. A lot of the

222
00:11:12.039 --> 00:11:15.000
<v Speaker 9>questions were what are the needs right now, and right

223
00:11:15.039 --> 00:11:17.320
<v Speaker 9>now the need is Mookie Bets and right field. He

224
00:11:17.360 --> 00:11:20.600
<v Speaker 9>obviously has been working really hard to try to come

225
00:11:20.639 --> 00:11:23.200
<v Speaker 9>back as the shortstop, and it even said that these

226
00:11:23.320 --> 00:11:26.240
<v Speaker 9>last what months and a half has been kind of

227
00:11:26.279 --> 00:11:28.320
<v Speaker 9>like a spring training for him of getting his reps

228
00:11:28.320 --> 00:11:30.399
<v Speaker 9>at short So yes, he's gonna have to kind of

229
00:11:30.399 --> 00:11:33.200
<v Speaker 9>get readjusted going back to right field, but he has

230
00:11:33.240 --> 00:11:36.919
<v Speaker 9>the confidence and his skill set and so that's just

231
00:11:36.960 --> 00:11:38.799
<v Speaker 9>what the team means. Now he's still going to be

232
00:11:38.840 --> 00:11:42.039
<v Speaker 9>batting second behind Shoeotani, which was another, you know, big move,

233
00:11:42.200 --> 00:11:44.759
<v Speaker 9>But right now it's what does the team need to win,

234
00:11:45.080 --> 00:11:47.399
<v Speaker 9>and right now they need Mookie Betts and right field

235
00:11:47.799 --> 00:11:51.039
<v Speaker 9>to not only win the division, to win to win

236
00:11:51.080 --> 00:11:54.240
<v Speaker 9>the Pennant and to ultimately win the World Serio.

237
00:11:54.919 --> 00:11:58.039
<v Speaker 2>Quick update, Tommy Edmonds going out in a minor league rehab,

238
00:11:58.039 --> 00:12:00.279
<v Speaker 2>Assigmon and Max Months he's getting close, sir.

239
00:12:01.440 --> 00:12:03.519
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, both of those guys. They flew out today. So

240
00:12:03.519 --> 00:12:06.120
<v Speaker 9>they're going to meet the Oklahoma City team and Dave

241
00:12:06.200 --> 00:12:08.399
<v Speaker 9>was saying, I calling need about a week of just

242
00:12:09.360 --> 00:12:13.240
<v Speaker 9>whether it's fast, playing defense, all the above, and then

243
00:12:13.240 --> 00:12:14.679
<v Speaker 9>they're going to have a conversation at the end of

244
00:12:14.720 --> 00:12:16.879
<v Speaker 9>the week and kind of reevaluate see where they're at.

245
00:12:16.919 --> 00:12:19.919
<v Speaker 9>But hopefully they'll be returning quickly after that.

00:14:04.879 --> 00:14:08.720
<v Speaker 5>Anything else with questions for Dave Dave? Can you just

282
00:14:08.879 --> 00:14:12.519
<v Speaker 5>describe Dave? Can you talk about the pressure in.

283
00:14:12.399 --> 00:14:14.679
<v Speaker 6>The dugouts with Dave Roberts.

284
00:14:14.919 --> 00:14:19.639
<v Speaker 10>It's coming along well, you know, they're they're taking it bats,

285
00:14:19.720 --> 00:14:23.919
<v Speaker 10>they're playing defense. Uh, you know, they're running the bases

286
00:14:24.000 --> 00:14:26.600
<v Speaker 10>and all that stuff. So I'm encouraged.

287
00:14:28.519 --> 00:14:28.759
<v Speaker 5>You know.

288
00:14:28.879 --> 00:14:31.919
<v Speaker 10>Mookie is still on track to join us on Monday.

289
00:14:32.879 --> 00:14:39.039
<v Speaker 10>And you know, CT is probably a couple of weeks behind. Uh,

290
00:14:39.159 --> 00:14:43.159
<v Speaker 10>Tommy and Max just went on rehab. They left today

291
00:14:43.919 --> 00:14:48.159
<v Speaker 10>and they'll start playing games with OKC tomorrow, and so

292
00:14:48.960 --> 00:14:51.039
<v Speaker 10>you know, I'm hopeful that in a week we'll get

293
00:14:51.039 --> 00:14:54.320
<v Speaker 10>both those guys back, you know, a week or so

294
00:14:54.519 --> 00:14:59.679
<v Speaker 10>something like that. And yesterday Walker just kind of on

295
00:14:59.720 --> 00:15:03.080
<v Speaker 10>the re have front. Walker was good yesterday, then got

296
00:15:03.080 --> 00:15:06.639
<v Speaker 10>into the sixth inning, which was really good to see

297
00:15:07.320 --> 00:15:11.320
<v Speaker 10>the performance of stuff. All that was lined up. So,

298
00:15:12.279 --> 00:15:15.600
<v Speaker 10>you know, to imagine him making a start for us

299
00:15:15.679 --> 00:15:22.919
<v Speaker 10>in Milwaukee seems feasible. So we're trending he is as.

300
00:15:23.480 --> 00:15:26.960
<v Speaker 1>Righting the guys play in that conversation that just taking

301
00:15:27.399 --> 00:15:28.279
<v Speaker 1>he inspress right.

302
00:15:30.000 --> 00:15:37.240
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, I think that with Mookie, he's first off, what

303
00:15:37.360 --> 00:15:43.240
<v Speaker 10>he's done for us at shortstop doesn't go unnoiced, taking

304
00:15:43.279 --> 00:15:48.120
<v Speaker 10>on that daunting task to be a great teammate, and

305
00:15:48.200 --> 00:15:51.879
<v Speaker 10>he was relentless, has been relentless with his work at

306
00:15:51.879 --> 00:15:54.360
<v Speaker 10>short as we've all seen guys that have been here

307
00:15:54.399 --> 00:15:59.480
<v Speaker 10>every day. And so I think that, you know, we've

308
00:15:59.480 --> 00:16:05.519
<v Speaker 10>had commons essentially daily about what's best for him, what's

309
00:16:05.559 --> 00:16:09.240
<v Speaker 10>best for the team, And I think that, you know,

310
00:16:09.279 --> 00:16:11.799
<v Speaker 10>I know that I said that. You know, we want

311
00:16:11.799 --> 00:16:15.159
<v Speaker 10>to start with Mooki out there at short to then

312
00:16:15.759 --> 00:16:19.200
<v Speaker 10>give the potential a pivot out there. I had a

313
00:16:19.240 --> 00:16:23.639
<v Speaker 10>good conversation with him last night, and you know, I

314
00:16:23.679 --> 00:16:26.919
<v Speaker 10>think right now and again things always seem to change.

315
00:16:27.559 --> 00:16:31.759
<v Speaker 10>But right now we're gonna go. We're gonna kick Mooky

316
00:16:31.799 --> 00:16:32.720
<v Speaker 10>out to right field.

<v Speaker 11>I accept everybody for who they are.

340
00:17:46.680 --> 00:17:49.880
<v Speaker 6>This is Dodger insider David Basse.

341
00:17:50.640 --> 00:17:52.759
<v Speaker 2>All right, DV, you're gonna go high and tight with

342
00:17:52.880 --> 00:17:56.519
<v Speaker 2>Dusty Baker in about twenty minutes. But what a night

343
00:17:56.599 --> 00:17:58.000
<v Speaker 2>to celebrate one of the great.

344
00:17:57.799 --> 00:17:59.279
<v Speaker 3>Dodgers, no doubt.

345
00:17:59.319 --> 00:18:01.240
<v Speaker 11>And when he was playing, I'm not sure if you

346
00:18:01.279 --> 00:18:05.279
<v Speaker 11>know this, Tim, they called left field Baker's field here

347
00:18:05.319 --> 00:18:08.359
<v Speaker 11>at Dodgers Stadium. And how about this He was telling

348
00:18:08.400 --> 00:18:11.880
<v Speaker 11>the story story in his press conference that there was

349
00:18:11.920 --> 00:18:15.000
<v Speaker 11>a fan in the left field pavilion that would throw

350
00:18:15.519 --> 00:18:18.720
<v Speaker 11>bubblegum to Dusty Baker, and then all of a sudden

351
00:18:18.799 --> 00:18:22.480
<v Speaker 11>it turned into all the fans throwing bubblegum to Dusty

352
00:18:22.480 --> 00:18:25.319
<v Speaker 11>Baker when he would take his position out there in

353
00:18:25.440 --> 00:18:28.079
<v Speaker 11>left field. But he said he would only eat the

354
00:18:28.160 --> 00:18:32.599
<v Speaker 11>gum from that fan because he trusted that gum. He

355
00:18:32.680 --> 00:18:35.079
<v Speaker 11>wasn't sure what could have been in those other gums

356
00:18:35.079 --> 00:18:37.680
<v Speaker 11>that were being thrown at him. So it's awesome that

357
00:18:37.799 --> 00:18:41.039
<v Speaker 11>Dusty's going to be honored Reggie Smith this year. Kenny

358
00:18:41.119 --> 00:18:44.920
<v Speaker 11>Landrou is here, Rick Monday is right in front of me,

359
00:18:45.119 --> 00:18:47.559
<v Speaker 11>So it's a special night to have a lot of

360
00:18:47.559 --> 00:18:50.559
<v Speaker 11>his teammates here to celebrate one of the all time

361
00:18:50.799 --> 00:18:51.839
<v Speaker 11>favorite Dodgers.

362
00:18:52.160 --> 00:18:54.000
<v Speaker 3>No doubt about it. David is driven by Ford.

363
00:18:54.200 --> 00:18:56.160
<v Speaker 2>If there's one thing we like, its choice is fine

364
00:18:56.200 --> 00:18:58.480
<v Speaker 2>yours with the four f one fifty gas hybrid or

365
00:18:58.519 --> 00:19:01.759
<v Speaker 2>electric tough this mart it can be only called f

366
00:19:01.839 --> 00:19:04.599
<v Speaker 2>one fifty. Jack Flaherty gets to start tonight, David. He

367
00:19:04.640 --> 00:19:07.279
<v Speaker 2>got to start in Oakland last time his Dodger debut,

368
00:19:07.319 --> 00:19:10.039
<v Speaker 2>But tonight his Dodger debut at Dodger Stadium.

369
00:19:10.440 --> 00:19:14.480
<v Speaker 11>Really full circle for Jack Flarerity. In twenty thirteen, when

370
00:19:14.480 --> 00:19:18.640
<v Speaker 11>he was pitching for Harvard Westlake in the CIF Championship game,

371
00:19:18.960 --> 00:19:22.799
<v Speaker 11>he pitched a complete game shutout to win the championship

372
00:19:22.839 --> 00:19:26.839
<v Speaker 11>for Harvard Westlake. And also drove in the only run

373
00:19:26.880 --> 00:19:28.920
<v Speaker 11>of the game. It was a one nothing game. So

374
00:19:29.519 --> 00:19:32.480
<v Speaker 11>Jack Flarity on the mound in twenty thirteen as a

375
00:19:32.559 --> 00:19:36.000
<v Speaker 11>high school senior, and now here he is tonight wearing

376
00:19:36.039 --> 00:19:40.559
<v Speaker 11>a Dodger uniform, making his Dodger Stadium debut this season.

377
00:19:40.720 --> 00:19:43.880
<v Speaker 11>Wearing that blue certainly a special night for him, his

378
00:19:44.000 --> 00:19:46.799
<v Speaker 11>mom and everybody that saw him grow up in the

379
00:19:46.839 --> 00:19:47.960
<v Speaker 11>San Fernando Valley.

380
00:19:48.359 --> 00:19:51.160
<v Speaker 2>All Right, David Mookie Bags, last time we spoke, he

381
00:19:51.279 --> 00:19:52.920
<v Speaker 2>was not gonna be batting lead off, but he was

382
00:19:52.960 --> 00:19:53.960
<v Speaker 2>gonna play shortstop.

383
00:19:54.039 --> 00:19:56.039
<v Speaker 3>Now, Dave Roberts, we've just heard from him.

384
00:19:56.039 --> 00:19:59.519
<v Speaker 2>He said, not batting lead off and not playing shortstop anymore.

385
00:19:59.519 --> 00:20:00.079
<v Speaker 3>What's going on?

386
00:20:00.839 --> 00:20:03.440
<v Speaker 11>Well, when I got here to Dodgers Stadium, I saw

387
00:20:03.480 --> 00:20:06.640
<v Speaker 11>they were getting ready for a simulated game where Mooki

388
00:20:06.799 --> 00:20:10.119
<v Speaker 11>was participating. That part was not out of the ordinary.

389
00:20:10.400 --> 00:20:12.799
<v Speaker 11>And then all of a sudden we saw Mooki Bets

390
00:20:12.839 --> 00:20:16.480
<v Speaker 11>go out to right field, and that was certainly eye catching,

391
00:20:17.000 --> 00:20:19.640
<v Speaker 11>And Dave Roberts was asked about it. And Muki is

392
00:20:19.680 --> 00:20:23.160
<v Speaker 11>coming back Monday in Milwaukee, and Mookie Betts will be

393
00:20:23.200 --> 00:20:26.400
<v Speaker 11>the starting right fielder. And right now, tim the Dodgers

394
00:20:26.440 --> 00:20:29.240
<v Speaker 11>don't have the luxury of time to figure things out.

395
00:20:29.480 --> 00:20:31.960
<v Speaker 11>There are only three games ahead of the Diamondbacks and

396
00:20:32.000 --> 00:20:36.519
<v Speaker 11>Padres as play starts tonight. They are in a division race.

397
00:20:36.920 --> 00:20:39.559
<v Speaker 11>And Dave Roberts had a phone call with Mookie Betts

398
00:20:39.640 --> 00:20:41.720
<v Speaker 11>and asked him where do you feel the most confident,

399
00:20:42.000 --> 00:20:45.279
<v Speaker 11>and MOOKI was honest. Right field and he's a six

400
00:20:45.359 --> 00:20:46.240
<v Speaker 11>time goal glover.

401
00:20:46.400 --> 00:20:46.680
<v Speaker 3>Tim.

402
00:20:47.039 --> 00:20:50.200
<v Speaker 11>Many consider him one of the greatest, if not the greatest,

403
00:20:50.240 --> 00:20:53.519
<v Speaker 11>right fielder of his generation. It just makes a lot

404
00:20:53.559 --> 00:20:56.079
<v Speaker 11>of sense, especially when you have a guy like Miguel

405
00:20:56.200 --> 00:20:57.400
<v Speaker 11>Rojas at shortstop.

406
00:20:57.799 --> 00:21:00.119
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, no doubt about that. Smart move all around for

407
00:21:00.160 --> 00:21:02.759
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers. David great stuff. Dave's gonna go one on

408
00:21:02.759 --> 00:21:06.000
<v Speaker 2>one with Dusty Baker in fifteen minutes.

409
00:21:06.200 --> 00:21:07.960
<v Speaker 3>You're not gonna want to miss that, Dodger fans.

456
00:23:52.960 --> 00:23:57.720
<v Speaker 1>broadcaster and World Series Champion Dodger Rick Monday.

457
00:23:58.240 --> 00:24:01.440
<v Speaker 11>Rick Mondy your best teammate. It's being honored in the

458
00:24:01.519 --> 00:24:04.039
<v Speaker 11>legends of Dodger Baseball. Dusty Baker.

459
00:24:04.279 --> 00:24:09.599
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, Johnny b the hard bake, doctor scald was the

460
00:24:09.640 --> 00:24:10.599
<v Speaker 7>other was the other nick.

461
00:24:10.599 --> 00:24:12.039
<v Speaker 11>Where did that nickname come from?

462
00:24:12.400 --> 00:24:14.440
<v Speaker 5>And I brought this up. I think was on the road.

463
00:24:14.640 --> 00:24:16.039
<v Speaker 5>We talked about him.

464
00:24:16.440 --> 00:24:18.720
<v Speaker 7>Dusty had a tendency to say and he hit the ball,

465
00:24:18.720 --> 00:24:21.319
<v Speaker 7>and he hit the ball hard a lot, so he

466
00:24:21.359 --> 00:24:23.680
<v Speaker 7>would come back he goes, I scalded that ball.

467
00:24:23.759 --> 00:24:27.000
<v Speaker 5>So we kept hearing I scalded it. I scalded it.

468
00:24:27.079 --> 00:24:29.880
<v Speaker 5>So we just coined the phrase doctor scold.

469
00:24:30.319 --> 00:24:32.839
<v Speaker 11>Hey, Rick, I was not teammates with him. I was

470
00:24:32.920 --> 00:24:34.839
<v Speaker 11>just a kid watching you guys play in the San

471
00:24:34.880 --> 00:24:38.559
<v Speaker 11>Fernando Valley. What made Dusty Baker such a great teammate.

472
00:24:39.079 --> 00:24:42.680
<v Speaker 7>He had high expectations of himself, higher expectations of himself

473
00:24:42.720 --> 00:24:46.119
<v Speaker 7>than those around him, and he wanted to prove a

474
00:24:46.160 --> 00:24:48.400
<v Speaker 7>point all the time. You know, he's the same guy

475
00:24:48.440 --> 00:24:52.720
<v Speaker 7>that was able to shake Hank Aaron's hand when he

476
00:24:52.799 --> 00:24:56.720
<v Speaker 7>hit that big home run. And he learned a lot

477
00:24:56.759 --> 00:24:59.000
<v Speaker 7>from Hank Aaron about not only being a player, but

478
00:24:59.039 --> 00:25:02.599
<v Speaker 7>also about being he uman, being kind of man. And

479
00:25:02.640 --> 00:25:04.720
<v Speaker 7>that's carried over to the Dusty.

480
00:25:05.160 --> 00:25:07.839
<v Speaker 5>He always wanted to excel, but.

481
00:25:07.960 --> 00:25:12.759
<v Speaker 7>Again his expectations were the highest of himself versus those

482
00:25:12.920 --> 00:25:15.240
<v Speaker 7>around him. Someone asked me, also, a lot of people

483
00:25:15.319 --> 00:25:19.160
<v Speaker 7>ask me, did it surprise me at all that Dusty became,

484
00:25:19.319 --> 00:25:22.559
<v Speaker 7>first of all, a manager. The answer is flat out no.

485
00:25:23.119 --> 00:25:24.960
<v Speaker 7>And then they asked me, did it surprise me at

486
00:25:25.000 --> 00:25:27.720
<v Speaker 7>all that it became a very good manager? And that

487
00:25:27.920 --> 00:25:31.400
<v Speaker 7>was double note. And here's a couple of reasons why.

488
00:25:31.759 --> 00:25:36.119
<v Speaker 7>First of all, he's a wonderful person. You saw the ballplayer.

489
00:25:36.200 --> 00:25:39.480
<v Speaker 7>He didn't get to see the person. Secondly because of

490
00:25:39.519 --> 00:25:41.640
<v Speaker 7>the expectations that he had it himself. But the other

491
00:25:41.680 --> 00:25:45.000
<v Speaker 7>part too, is he reads people very well. And by

492
00:25:45.039 --> 00:25:48.920
<v Speaker 7>that I'm talking about you know, we work with people

493
00:25:48.920 --> 00:25:51.200
<v Speaker 7>and we see them me eaching every day. And it's

494
00:25:51.279 --> 00:25:54.880
<v Speaker 7>even more I think concentrated on a baseball field with

495
00:25:55.000 --> 00:25:58.079
<v Speaker 7>the ups and downs and the expectations, and really you're

496
00:25:58.119 --> 00:26:02.759
<v Speaker 7>looking at livelihoods and guys succeed and fail in front

497
00:26:02.799 --> 00:26:05.960
<v Speaker 7>of fifty thousand people each and every night during the

498
00:26:06.000 --> 00:26:09.720
<v Speaker 7>regular season. Sometimes you become very fragile. So my point

499
00:26:09.799 --> 00:26:12.720
<v Speaker 7>in being able to read people, he knows when he

500
00:26:12.799 --> 00:26:15.599
<v Speaker 7>needs to put an arm around someone, and he knows

501
00:26:15.599 --> 00:26:19.519
<v Speaker 7>when he needs to place a boot somewhere on someone's backside,

502
00:26:20.160 --> 00:26:22.079
<v Speaker 7>and very seldom does he do the boot because he

503
00:26:22.160 --> 00:26:24.440
<v Speaker 7>understands he can get a whole lot more from people,

504
00:26:24.799 --> 00:26:27.640
<v Speaker 7>and understand people by putting their arm around him and

505
00:26:27.799 --> 00:26:31.640
<v Speaker 7>encouraging and nurturing. And that's kind of in a nutshell,

506
00:26:33.599 --> 00:26:36.359
<v Speaker 7>I was thinking about a couple of different things. If

507
00:26:36.400 --> 00:26:38.599
<v Speaker 7>I'm going to look at Dusty Baker, I would say

508
00:26:38.680 --> 00:26:41.279
<v Speaker 7>it was a pleasure to have Dusty as a teammate.

509
00:26:41.880 --> 00:26:43.559
<v Speaker 7>He has been an honor to have me as a friend.

510
00:26:44.000 --> 00:26:46.559
<v Speaker 11>Man, that's special. Rick, do you remember the first time

511
00:26:46.599 --> 00:26:48.559
<v Speaker 11>you ever got a high five from Dusty Baker?

512
00:26:48.640 --> 00:26:48.720
<v Speaker 4>Oh?

513
00:26:48.799 --> 00:26:51.880
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, I mean he would bruise you. Yeah, he could

514
00:26:51.920 --> 00:26:54.160
<v Speaker 7>bruise you and say, hey, wait a minute. You didn't

515
00:26:54.240 --> 00:26:56.319
<v Speaker 7>necessarily want to high five him if you were coming

516
00:26:56.359 --> 00:26:58.599
<v Speaker 7>to home plate. Here's why he hits a home run,

517
00:26:58.640 --> 00:27:00.880
<v Speaker 7>you're standing at home plate celebrating and give him the

518
00:27:00.960 --> 00:27:03.279
<v Speaker 7>high five. And I mean there was a loud sound

519
00:27:03.279 --> 00:27:05.079
<v Speaker 7>that took place, and go, wait a minute, I have

520
00:27:05.119 --> 00:27:07.319
<v Speaker 7>to let my hand cool off before I can grab

521
00:27:07.359 --> 00:27:09.039
<v Speaker 7>the bat and go to home plate. He was one

522
00:27:09.079 --> 00:27:10.960
<v Speaker 7>of those things let me tell you a quick story

523
00:27:11.079 --> 00:27:16.400
<v Speaker 7>about Johnny b Dusty hard Bake, doctor skull Baker. I

524
00:27:16.440 --> 00:27:19.119
<v Speaker 7>think we're in I think we're here in La playing

525
00:27:19.160 --> 00:27:22.240
<v Speaker 7>against the Astros and Joaquin Andahar. If you think back

526
00:27:22.240 --> 00:27:24.920
<v Speaker 7>into the memory bank, when he would strike a guy out,

527
00:27:25.000 --> 00:27:28.920
<v Speaker 7>Joaquin Andahar would act as if he had a holster

528
00:27:29.440 --> 00:27:32.319
<v Speaker 7>on his right side, and he would make believe he

529
00:27:32.400 --> 00:27:35.279
<v Speaker 7>was pulling out a six shooter right, and then he

530
00:27:35.359 --> 00:27:38.000
<v Speaker 7>was making believe that he was blowing into the barrel

531
00:27:38.119 --> 00:27:40.920
<v Speaker 7>of the gun to blow the smoke out of it,

532
00:27:40.960 --> 00:27:43.359
<v Speaker 7>because he just blew you away as a hitter. And

533
00:27:43.400 --> 00:27:45.599
<v Speaker 7>then he would pretend that he was putting the gun,

534
00:27:45.680 --> 00:27:47.319
<v Speaker 7>the six shooter back into the holster.

535
00:27:47.480 --> 00:27:48.240
<v Speaker 5>Right.

536
00:27:48.319 --> 00:27:51.359
<v Speaker 7>So he strikes out Dusty in one game here Dodger

537
00:27:51.400 --> 00:27:53.799
<v Speaker 7>Stadium would believe it was and he pulls out this

538
00:27:53.880 --> 00:27:55.920
<v Speaker 7>imaginary pistol and he blows in the end of the

539
00:27:55.920 --> 00:27:58.079
<v Speaker 7>barrel and then puts it back into the holster. He

540
00:27:58.119 --> 00:28:01.799
<v Speaker 7>strikes it Dusty out. The second time he pulls it out,

541
00:28:01.839 --> 00:28:03.839
<v Speaker 7>he blows in into the barrel and then he.

542
00:28:03.759 --> 00:28:04.920
<v Speaker 5>Puts it back into the holster.

543
00:28:05.000 --> 00:28:08.519
<v Speaker 7>And Johnny goes back into the dugout and he stands

544
00:28:08.559 --> 00:28:11.880
<v Speaker 7>with his right foot up on that ledge, the first

545
00:28:11.920 --> 00:28:13.720
<v Speaker 7>step to come out of the dungout at the time,

546
00:28:14.279 --> 00:28:16.519
<v Speaker 7>and he has hands on his hips, and only as

547
00:28:17.200 --> 00:28:20.440
<v Speaker 7>bait could he goes, yeah, go hey, keep laughing. Next

548
00:28:20.440 --> 00:28:22.519
<v Speaker 7>time up, I'm gonna knock the spit right out of

549
00:28:22.559 --> 00:28:26.519
<v Speaker 7>your mouth. And he stood there. The dugout got very quiet,

550
00:28:27.000 --> 00:28:28.839
<v Speaker 7>and then he started to chuckle. And he turned around

551
00:28:28.839 --> 00:28:33.240
<v Speaker 7>and goes, that was pretty weak, wasn't it. So he

552
00:28:33.319 --> 00:28:36.119
<v Speaker 7>has the ability to laugh at himself at the same time.

553
00:28:36.359 --> 00:28:39.559
<v Speaker 11>Love it, Rick, you're the best person to honor Dusty us.

554
00:28:39.599 --> 00:28:41.359
<v Speaker 5>You can tell I don't like him at all.

555
00:28:43.359 --> 00:28:45.599
<v Speaker 11>That bond will be there forever, that's for sure. Rick,

<v Speaker 11>beloved by his teammates and everybody that has ever come

594
00:30:41.680 --> 00:30:44.599
<v Speaker 12>uh man, it's a time goes by very quickly. And

595
00:30:44.799 --> 00:30:47.880
<v Speaker 12>I never thought about, you know, being a legend or

596
00:30:48.000 --> 00:30:50.720
<v Speaker 12>just I just thought about playing ball and uh, you know,

597
00:30:50.920 --> 00:30:53.200
<v Speaker 12>doing everything that I could to help my team win.

598
00:30:53.279 --> 00:30:55.720
<v Speaker 12>It's just, uh, you know, it's a little strange to

599
00:30:57.000 --> 00:30:58.799
<v Speaker 12>you know, to be here right now because I you know,

600
00:30:58.839 --> 00:31:02.000
<v Speaker 12>I never thought of myself and so you know, I

601
00:31:02.000 --> 00:31:04.039
<v Speaker 12>thought I was a good ball player. But at the

602
00:31:04.039 --> 00:31:07.119
<v Speaker 12>same time, you know, and I you know, me going

603
00:31:07.160 --> 00:31:10.200
<v Speaker 12>in the four guys like you know, Reggie Smith, I

604
00:31:10.240 --> 00:31:13.279
<v Speaker 12>thought Reggie was the best player on the team. Oh yeah,

605
00:31:13.319 --> 00:31:15.839
<v Speaker 12>I mean we all did. And uh and you know,

606
00:31:16.240 --> 00:31:18.839
<v Speaker 12>you know, hopefully you know, and get Ronsea and some

607
00:31:18.920 --> 00:31:22.160
<v Speaker 12>of my other teammates in because you know, without those guys,

608
00:31:22.240 --> 00:31:25.519
<v Speaker 12>you know, I was hoping, well, when I look back,

609
00:31:25.960 --> 00:31:28.240
<v Speaker 12>you know, they made me better coming here from the Braids.

610
00:31:28.880 --> 00:31:31.359
<v Speaker 12>And I was hoping that possibly, you know, I could

611
00:31:31.359 --> 00:31:33.440
<v Speaker 12>have you know, made them a little bit better. But

612
00:31:33.519 --> 00:31:35.279
<v Speaker 12>they made me a lot better because I wanted to

613
00:31:35.319 --> 00:31:38.559
<v Speaker 12>come here as a kid, I wanted to win the

614
00:31:38.640 --> 00:31:41.400
<v Speaker 12>Dodgers and winners. I loved the Braids. I was born

615
00:31:41.400 --> 00:31:46.359
<v Speaker 12>on the Braids, so to speak. But I I matured

616
00:31:46.400 --> 00:31:48.480
<v Speaker 12>as a man and.

617
00:31:47.839 --> 00:31:50.319
<v Speaker 5>A pro, you know, with the Dodgers.

618
00:31:50.759 --> 00:31:53.640
<v Speaker 11>I remember in the eighties when you played Dusty the

619
00:31:53.640 --> 00:31:56.880
<v Speaker 11>two best smiles in Los Angeles. One was at the

620
00:31:56.920 --> 00:31:59.960
<v Speaker 11>form with Magic Johnson and the other smile that was

621
00:32:00.119 --> 00:32:03.640
<v Speaker 11>the best was out here at Dodgers Stadium. The joy

622
00:32:03.680 --> 00:32:05.759
<v Speaker 11>that you had for the game of baseball. Could you

623
00:32:05.839 --> 00:32:09.000
<v Speaker 11>feel how infectious it was for your teammates and for

624
00:32:09.079 --> 00:32:09.519
<v Speaker 11>the city.

625
00:32:09.920 --> 00:32:11.799
<v Speaker 12>Well not really, Like I said, I didn't think about it.

626
00:32:11.839 --> 00:32:13.119
<v Speaker 5>I love playing.

627
00:32:13.319 --> 00:32:15.599
<v Speaker 12>I mean, I love it, and uh, you know, I

628
00:32:15.599 --> 00:32:17.839
<v Speaker 12>try to respect the game, you know, as much as

629
00:32:17.839 --> 00:32:20.960
<v Speaker 12>I could, and try to respect my you know, my teammates.

630
00:32:21.240 --> 00:32:22.920
<v Speaker 5>I uh, you.

631
00:32:22.880 --> 00:32:25.200
<v Speaker 12>Know, we came to play, and we came to play

632
00:32:25.240 --> 00:32:29.480
<v Speaker 12>every day, I mean, and it was it was fun, yeah,

633
00:32:29.559 --> 00:32:32.799
<v Speaker 12>you know, I mean, and and and the media guys

634
00:32:32.799 --> 00:32:34.880
<v Speaker 12>were close to us at the same time, the media

635
00:32:35.200 --> 00:32:38.079
<v Speaker 12>and and and the players were together. I mean, and that,

636
00:32:38.400 --> 00:32:40.440
<v Speaker 12>you know, I kind of missed that after a while

637
00:32:40.519 --> 00:32:42.960
<v Speaker 12>because now things are a little bit more adversarial than

638
00:32:42.960 --> 00:32:44.960
<v Speaker 12>they were back in those days. I mean, you know,

639
00:32:45.039 --> 00:32:48.200
<v Speaker 12>we'd hang out, you know, you know, with Joe McDonald

640
00:32:48.240 --> 00:32:51.599
<v Speaker 12>and then I mean, you know, all these guys, Jim Hill,

641
00:32:51.680 --> 00:32:53.920
<v Speaker 12>I mean, we were I mean we were like like

642
00:32:54.039 --> 00:32:55.839
<v Speaker 12>one and uh so, uh.

643
00:32:55.920 --> 00:32:58.200
<v Speaker 11>Would did Joe ever give you a ride in his Cadillac?

644
00:32:58.799 --> 00:33:01.319
<v Speaker 12>Yeah? Yeah, if if I needed it, you know what

645
00:33:01.400 --> 00:33:05.160
<v Speaker 12>I mean. You know, when every time I come to

646
00:33:05.240 --> 00:33:08.039
<v Speaker 12>Dodge Stadium, it's like, you know, I have very pleasant

647
00:33:08.079 --> 00:33:09.480
<v Speaker 12>memories here, and.

648
00:33:10.880 --> 00:33:12.960
<v Speaker 5>You know, like I just.

649
00:33:14.440 --> 00:33:16.440
<v Speaker 12>Think about a lot of the kids that were here,

650
00:33:16.920 --> 00:33:21.480
<v Speaker 12>like you you know, and now they're fathers and grandfathers.

651
00:33:21.480 --> 00:33:23.920
<v Speaker 12>Look at a few of them and just shows you

652
00:33:24.000 --> 00:33:26.720
<v Speaker 12>how fast life goes. But you know, you try to

653
00:33:26.799 --> 00:33:29.079
<v Speaker 12>enjoy it, try to do the right thing and treat

654
00:33:29.079 --> 00:33:29.559
<v Speaker 12>people right.

655
00:33:30.160 --> 00:33:33.319
<v Speaker 11>Dusty, before I let you go, the bond you shared

656
00:33:33.480 --> 00:33:36.799
<v Speaker 11>with your teammates losing to the Yankees twice and then

657
00:33:36.839 --> 00:33:41.599
<v Speaker 11>finally beating them, how much more complete is everything with

658
00:33:41.680 --> 00:33:44.079
<v Speaker 11>you guys? Not only winning in eighty one, but beating

659
00:33:44.119 --> 00:33:45.759
<v Speaker 11>those Yankees, well.

660
00:33:45.559 --> 00:33:48.599
<v Speaker 12>You know something, I see Yankee fans now and they're

661
00:33:48.640 --> 00:33:51.200
<v Speaker 12>still mad because we beat them one time. And I'm like,

662
00:33:51.200 --> 00:33:53.480
<v Speaker 12>wait a minute, you guys beat us twice, and you

663
00:33:53.519 --> 00:33:56.799
<v Speaker 12>know something. Seventy seven, I thought we had a great,

664
00:33:56.880 --> 00:34:00.279
<v Speaker 12>great team and we had outstanding and then seven eight

665
00:34:00.359 --> 00:34:02.440
<v Speaker 12>we were playing for Jim Gilliam who died of a

666
00:34:02.480 --> 00:34:05.559
<v Speaker 12>brain aneurysm that August, and so we had this number

667
00:34:05.599 --> 00:34:08.679
<v Speaker 12>on our sleeves and I think we were up to

668
00:34:08.679 --> 00:34:11.800
<v Speaker 12>to nothing on the Yankees, and then we went to

669
00:34:11.880 --> 00:34:15.039
<v Speaker 12>the Well two to nothing. We played them there, and

670
00:34:15.039 --> 00:34:17.159
<v Speaker 12>then we came back here for a three game series

671
00:34:17.480 --> 00:34:19.599
<v Speaker 12>and I don't think we lost the game of a

672
00:34:19.760 --> 00:34:22.800
<v Speaker 12>series at home all year, and they beat us three

673
00:34:22.800 --> 00:34:24.559
<v Speaker 12>in a row, and then we had to go back

674
00:34:24.599 --> 00:34:27.320
<v Speaker 12>to New York to lose one in a row, to

675
00:34:27.400 --> 00:34:30.440
<v Speaker 12>lose one and end up. I mean, I never you know,

676
00:34:30.519 --> 00:34:32.960
<v Speaker 12>forget the you know, the pain and the hurt that

677
00:34:33.000 --> 00:34:36.400
<v Speaker 12>we felt coming back home, because I was like the

678
00:34:36.519 --> 00:34:40.000
<v Speaker 12>longest trip home. That was like a ghost trip. You know,

679
00:34:40.079 --> 00:34:42.480
<v Speaker 12>none of us really wanted to come home. We didn't

680
00:34:42.480 --> 00:34:44.199
<v Speaker 12>want to go out in the public. We didn't want

681
00:34:44.199 --> 00:34:47.199
<v Speaker 12>to go to the supermarket, you know, because because we

682
00:34:47.599 --> 00:34:48.519
<v Speaker 12>you know, we thought we were.

683
00:34:48.440 --> 00:34:49.079
<v Speaker 5>Supposed to win.

684
00:34:49.199 --> 00:34:52.760
<v Speaker 12>But you know, fourteen for us, we won eighty one,

685
00:34:53.119 --> 00:34:54.360
<v Speaker 12>which wasn't our best team.

686
00:34:54.519 --> 00:34:55.559
<v Speaker 5>So joseih show you.

687
00:34:55.760 --> 00:34:57.920
<v Speaker 12>I mean a lot of times, you know, you win

688
00:34:58.239 --> 00:34:59.360
<v Speaker 12>when you're supposed to win.

689
00:35:00.239 --> 00:35:02.960
<v Speaker 11>Winner, Dusty Baker winning in life for sure.

690

748
00:37:47.960 --> 00:37:51.760

750

771
00:39:07.199 --> 00:39:11.360
<v Speaker 2>out to the booth. Rick Monday, Charlie Steiner, guys.

772
00:39:10.960 --> 00:39:13.599
<v Speaker 8>All right, Tien back at Dodger Stadium, first of three

773
00:39:13.719 --> 00:39:18.159
<v Speaker 8>the Pirates and the Dodgers. Neither team particularly hot coming

774
00:39:18.199 --> 00:39:21.760
<v Speaker 8>into this three game set. The Dodgers their lead over

775
00:39:21.800 --> 00:39:24.320
<v Speaker 8>the Padres now is just two and a half games

776
00:39:24.719 --> 00:39:29.320
<v Speaker 8>in the Western Division and two terrific pitchers having hated tonight.

777
00:39:29.719 --> 00:39:31.840
<v Speaker 8>Mitch Keller, He's ten and five out of the three.

778
00:39:32.000 --> 00:39:35.880
<v Speaker 8>Twenty Eer the Pirates have won each of his last

779
00:39:35.920 --> 00:39:40.440
<v Speaker 8>five starts and thirteen of his past fifteen. Jack Flaherty

780
00:39:40.519 --> 00:39:44.039
<v Speaker 8>making his first start in a Dodger uniform here at

781
00:39:44.079 --> 00:39:46.559
<v Speaker 8>Dodger Stadium. He is eight and five out of two.

782
00:39:46.679 --> 00:39:50.159
<v Speaker 7>Eighty er and Charlie Flaerty was really really good on

783
00:39:50.239 --> 00:39:53.360
<v Speaker 7>Saturday up in Oakland against the Ages. Six shutout innings,

784
00:39:54.000 --> 00:39:57.480
<v Speaker 7>only one walk, only five hits, struck out seven. And

785
00:39:57.519 --> 00:39:59.960
<v Speaker 7>I think really for both of these pitchers, tonight is

786
00:40:00.119 --> 00:40:02.559
<v Speaker 7>going to be the breaking stuff, because if you're looking

787
00:40:02.880 --> 00:40:06.119
<v Speaker 7>at Jack Flaherty, only four starters in baseball have thrown

788
00:40:06.119 --> 00:40:08.000
<v Speaker 7>breaking balls more often than he has.

789
00:40:08.320 --> 00:40:11.159
<v Speaker 8>The Pirates are just swept at home by the Padres,

790
00:40:11.199 --> 00:40:14.559
<v Speaker 8>and they have lost six of their last seven, five

791
00:40:14.599 --> 00:40:17.119
<v Speaker 8>of those defeats coming to us by one run.

792
00:40:17.199 --> 00:40:17.440
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

793
00:40:17.480 --> 00:40:19.960
<v Speaker 7>For Keller, he moves the fastball in on you, and

794
00:40:20.039 --> 00:40:22.239
<v Speaker 7>he also has that good curve boall on top of it.

795
00:40:22.239 --> 00:40:24.880
<v Speaker 7>Here's the thing too, with Keller, he's had hitters with

796
00:40:24.920 --> 00:40:29.199
<v Speaker 7>two strikes. It's below a two hundred batting average. First

797
00:40:29.199 --> 00:40:31.679
<v Speaker 7>of all, we're hitting one thousand tonight. I can't tell

798
00:40:31.719 --> 00:40:34.519
<v Speaker 7>you what a big deal it is to have you

799
00:40:34.719 --> 00:40:35.880

800
00:40:35.920 --> 00:40:38.920
