Tyler Glass now on the mound. 11 00:00:30.199 --> 00:00:32.960 First pitch coming up at seven to ten, coming up 12 00:00:32.960 --> 00:00:36.479 over the next hour here on Marongo Casino, Dodgers on Deck, 13 00:00:36.640 --> 00:00:39.280 you're gonna hear from the manager himself. Dave Roberts will 14 00:00:39.320 --> 00:00:42.479 dive deeper into this pitching matchup. David Vassi goes one 15 00:00:42.520 --> 00:00:46.280 on one with Eric Carrols. We got your Dodgers magical moments. 16 00:00:46.320 --> 00:00:49.000 I've got your price picks, double play of the day. 17 00:00:49.200 --> 00:00:52.159 We're gonna get the latest on Freddie Freeman, who is 18 00:00:52.280 --> 00:00:55.719 not in the lineup tonight because he slipped in the 19 00:00:55.840 --> 00:00:59.560 shower over the weekend and retweaked his right ankle. More 20 00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:02.439 on that throughout the Dodgers on Deck Show, including with 21 00:01:02.520 --> 00:01:05.079 Kirsten Watson in just a little bit. In a few minutes, 22 00:01:05.239 --> 00:01:07.359 we'll check it with Stephen Nelson and Rick Monday out 23 00:01:07.400 --> 00:01:10.480 the Galpin Motors Broadcast booth Well Saturday at Dodgers Stadium. 24 00:01:10.719 --> 00:01:13.040 It was a rough night for rookie, but the Dodgers 25 00:01:13.079 --> 00:01:15.920 bailed them out. Twenty three year old rookie Sasaki made 26 00:01:15.920 --> 00:01:18.879 his Dodger Stadium debut. The right handers struggle with his 27 00:01:18.959 --> 00:01:21.640 control forty one pitches in the first inning, twenty more 28 00:01:21.680 --> 00:01:24.640 in the second. Sasaki lasted only any in two thirds, 29 00:01:24.640 --> 00:01:27.280 giving him two runs on three hits while walking four 30 00:01:27.319 --> 00:01:30.319 along the way. The Dodgers offense bailed them out. Started 31 00:01:30.359 --> 00:01:32.280 in the bottom of the first. Freddie Freeman a solo 32 00:01:32.280 --> 00:01:34.760 home run, did at the second Michael Confordo at RBI 33 00:01:34.840 --> 00:01:37.400 double that tied the game of two. Then in the fifth, 34 00:01:37.439 --> 00:01:39.920 the Dodgers took the lead thanks to ta Oscar. 35 00:01:40.480 --> 00:01:43.159 Two to one and this one down the third. That's 36 00:01:43.200 --> 00:01:46.000 a fair ball. It's gonna roll in the foul territory. 37 00:01:46.280 --> 00:01:50.400 There comes Confordo on this score. Otani's rounding third. He's 38 00:01:50.480 --> 00:01:52.040 coming to the plate, the throws lay. 39 00:01:52.319 --> 00:01:53.319 He's in safely. 40 00:01:53.879 --> 00:01:57.879 It's a two up, two run double for Tatasker Hernandez 41 00:01:57.920 --> 00:01:59.200 and the Dodgers lead. 42 00:01:59.040 --> 00:02:02.400 At Ford to two run double for Tale. That's the 43 00:02:02.439 --> 00:02:04.519 top tier play the game, brought to by Arco quality, 44 00:02:04.560 --> 00:02:07.040 top tier gas for less Dodgers of four to two. 45 00:02:07.079 --> 00:02:09.479 In the sixth, they added to that Will Smith a 46 00:02:09.520 --> 00:02:11.879 solo home run, his first of the season, Dodgers of 47 00:02:11.960 --> 00:02:14.960 five to two. Then in this seventh Dodgers of five 48 00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:18.319 to three, when Tommy Edmund got the home run. 49 00:02:18.400 --> 00:02:22.319 Fun continuing and Edmund patting left handled against Ken tom Mayada, 50 00:02:22.439 --> 00:02:25.039 the former Dodger, and Tommy swings and hits a drive 51 00:02:25.879 --> 00:02:28.080 deep right center of that bull is back. 52 00:02:28.159 --> 00:02:28.919 It has gone. 53 00:02:29.199 --> 00:02:32.039 Home run Tommy with another tank. 54 00:02:33.159 --> 00:02:34.479 His third home. 55 00:02:34.319 --> 00:02:37.120 Run of the season of the Dodgers lead at six 56 00:02:37.199 --> 00:02:38.159 to three. 57 00:02:39.120 --> 00:02:40.159 Oh, how do you like it? 58 00:02:41.520 --> 00:02:42.719 Tommy Edmond with a. 59 00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:47.199 Flash to greet kent to Mayeta, the new Detroit pitcher. 60 00:02:47.719 --> 00:02:50.319 Solo home run for Tommy Edmond, his third of the season, 61 00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:52.439 Dodgers a six to three lead, and they weren't done. 62 00:02:52.520 --> 00:02:55.199 Later in the inning, Freddy Freeman an RB double scoring 63 00:02:55.240 --> 00:02:58.319 show Hey Dodgers a seven to three lead. The offense 64 00:02:58.400 --> 00:03:01.039 more than enough. Even with the short out from Roki Sasaki, 65 00:03:01.080 --> 00:03:04.360 the Dodgers bullpen had to cover seven and a third innings. 66 00:03:04.479 --> 00:03:06.599 They were great, all of them, allowing just one run 67 00:03:06.639 --> 00:03:09.240 on three hits while striking out eleven. Dodgers going to 68 00:03:09.240 --> 00:03:11.879 beat the Tigers on Saturday seven to three. Anthony Bonda 69 00:03:11.879 --> 00:03:14.439 gets the win. Dodgers finish off the sweep of the 70 00:03:14.439 --> 00:03:17.439 Detroit Tigers. They improved to five and zero on this season. 71 00:03:17.479 --> 00:03:20.639 After a day off yesterday, the Dodgers homesteak continues with 72 00:03:20.680 --> 00:03:23.960 a three game series against the Atlanta Braves. Tyler glassnow 73 00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:25.599 on the mountain in his first start to this season, 74 00:03:25.759 --> 00:03:27.520 and with more. We head out to the Gallpin Motors 75 00:03:27.560 --> 00:03:30.719 broadcast booth as we welcome in Steven Nelson and Rick Monday. 76 00:03:30.759 --> 00:03:34.080 Guys, thank you Tim here with Rick Monday nineteen eighty 77 00:03:34.120 --> 00:03:37.120 one World Series champion and mo your team began that 78 00:03:37.199 --> 00:03:40.080 campaign six to zero here in twenty twenty five. This 79 00:03:40.199 --> 00:03:43.000 Dodgers team trying to follow suit in a couple of ways, right, 80 00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:45.319 winning the first six games and then also winning the 81 00:03:45.400 --> 00:03:46.479 very last game of the year. 82 00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:48.319 Yeah, and I think if you look at the Dodgers 83 00:03:48.360 --> 00:03:50.520 a lot of different reasons. They are five and oh 84 00:03:50.599 --> 00:03:53.080 to start with, and just having swept that series against 85 00:03:53.080 --> 00:03:57.520 the Tigers. The offensively and not a high batting average, 86 00:03:57.599 --> 00:04:01.000 but very effective when needed to be and collect base hits. 87 00:04:01.039 --> 00:04:04.199 And the pitching has been right on the money. Starting 88 00:04:04.240 --> 00:04:06.439 pitchers still trying to stretch things out. The bullpen has 89 00:04:06.479 --> 00:04:08.319 been very, very good. And on the flip side, you 90 00:04:08.360 --> 00:04:10.520 look at the Atlanta Braves oh and four swept in 91 00:04:10.520 --> 00:04:12.960 that series in San Diego, and the last time the 92 00:04:12.960 --> 00:04:15.120 Braves started the season OH and four, he go back 93 00:04:15.159 --> 00:04:17.600 to twenty twenty one, But they're not the only team 94 00:04:17.639 --> 00:04:21.680 OH and four this year, Detroit, Milwaukee and Minnesota still 95 00:04:21.720 --> 00:04:24.360 looking for their first victory. Has actually got under way today. 96 00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:27.240 Well for Atlanta, I guess if you're trying to find 97 00:04:27.279 --> 00:04:30.040 a silver lining, oh, we started that twenty twenty one 98 00:04:30.120 --> 00:04:32.279 year over or the winning. 99 00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:32.600 The World Series. 100 00:04:32.639 --> 00:04:34.920 So we'll see if they can finally turn things around. 101 00:04:35.040 --> 00:04:37.040 One thing we do want to say, both teams are 102 00:04:37.079 --> 00:04:40.839 going to be without two presumptive members of their starting lineup. First, 103 00:04:40.879 --> 00:04:43.360 let's get to the Dodgers. Freddie Freeman, of course, facing 104 00:04:43.439 --> 00:04:45.959 his old team, Well, he's not in the lineup for 105 00:04:46.199 --> 00:04:48.480 this series opener. Dave Roberts told the media there was 106 00:04:48.519 --> 00:04:51.560 a mishap in the shower for Freddy at home and 107 00:04:51.600 --> 00:04:56.480 he tweaked his surgically repaired right ankle. Now Freddie did 108 00:04:56.560 --> 00:05:00.240 as Freddy usually does, which is protest and try to play. 109 00:05:00.480 --> 00:05:03.680 But Dave said they don't anticipate it being a long 110 00:05:03.800 --> 00:05:06.800 term issue. But Mo, that is a concern, I think, 111 00:05:06.839 --> 00:05:09.560 Danny Dodger Viner, here's a wait. Tweaking is surgically prepared 112 00:05:09.600 --> 00:05:11.439 right ankle. That was a big deal for a master. 113 00:05:11.639 --> 00:05:14.759 Thank you long term also, Stephen, because they want Freddy 114 00:05:14.800 --> 00:05:17.360 Freeman for the long term of the season. And if 115 00:05:17.360 --> 00:05:20.399 that means missing a game or two or three, maybe 116 00:05:20.399 --> 00:05:22.879 even the rest of this homestand there's another travel day 117 00:05:22.959 --> 00:05:27.519 in between, going on that road trip to Philadelphia and 118 00:05:27.519 --> 00:05:30.240 then to our nation's capital, that's all well and good. 119 00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:32.319 They can afford to do that for another three games 120 00:05:32.439 --> 00:05:35.079 very very easily. And in the meanwhile, it's going to 121 00:05:35.120 --> 00:05:37.639 be k k Hernandez starting at first base today, So 122 00:05:37.759 --> 00:05:40.399 Dave Roberts juggles the lineup around a little bit. Michael 123 00:05:40.439 --> 00:05:43.199 Confordo again is in left field and he will Ban 124 00:05:43.319 --> 00:05:45.800 in the cleanup spot. That moves to Oskar Hernandez up 125 00:05:45.920 --> 00:05:48.800 to the number three spot in right. But they're looking 126 00:05:48.800 --> 00:05:51.160 at the big picture on that end of it. That's 127 00:05:51.160 --> 00:05:54.079 for the Dodger side. And then we understand today that 128 00:05:54.399 --> 00:05:57.279 the Atlanta Rays will be missing someone on their side 129 00:05:57.319 --> 00:05:58.680 for a considerable period of time. 130 00:05:58.759 --> 00:06:02.519 Yeah, it would be Jerks and profile o old nemesis 131 00:06:02.560 --> 00:06:04.800 of the Dodgers from last year with the Padres of course, 132 00:06:04.839 --> 00:06:07.879 and mister irrelevant to from that first series with Will 133 00:06:07.959 --> 00:06:11.279 Smith the exchange and Profar. Look, you had a career 134 00:06:11.360 --> 00:06:14.879 year in twenty twenty four, parlaid that into a multi 135 00:06:14.959 --> 00:06:17.480 year contract with the Braves. But today he was handed 136 00:06:17.759 --> 00:06:23.120 an eighty game ped suspension tested positive for hCG, which, 137 00:06:23.480 --> 00:06:25.959 according to the reports of the experts out there and 138 00:06:26.040 --> 00:06:29.519 know about it, is a masking agent. So Profar will 139 00:06:29.560 --> 00:06:32.199 be out for eighty games and then if it went 140 00:06:32.279 --> 00:06:35.199 and mix it to the postseason, he is not eligible 141 00:06:35.240 --> 00:06:36.879 to play on that postseason. 142 00:06:36.439 --> 00:06:39.920 Roster in today's game, And knowing full well what is 143 00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:43.199 accepted and not accepted, and you've got medical staff and 144 00:06:43.279 --> 00:06:49.160 you've got agents, it's inexcusable, is just that Unfortunately? Okay, fine, 145 00:06:49.839 --> 00:06:53.240 ded the test is administered, move him off the sideline. 146 00:06:53.319 --> 00:06:55.560 Yep, all right, We're gonna hit the sideline as well, 147 00:06:55.600 --> 00:06:57.079 Tim and get it back to you when we talk 148 00:06:57.240 --> 00:06:59.480 to you next.

He 184 00:08:50.279 --> 00:08:52.960 fell he slipped over the weekend and not in the lineup. 185 00:08:53.279 --> 00:08:56.399 Yeah, you're right right now, it's not his favorite place whatsoever. 186 00:08:56.720 --> 00:08:59.399 He We all know he had to have surgery this 187 00:08:59.440 --> 00:09:02.600 offseason on that right ankle to repair it, the injury 188 00:09:02.639 --> 00:09:05.279 that happened at the end of lasher in the regular season, 189 00:09:05.399 --> 00:09:08.440 So you know, he was in a pretty good spot 190 00:09:08.440 --> 00:09:10.799 when it came to that ankle, just feeling so much better. 191 00:09:10.840 --> 00:09:13.879 But unfortunately, like you said, he did slip over the 192 00:09:13.879 --> 00:09:14.840 weekend in the shower. 193 00:09:14.919 --> 00:09:15.720 It just tweaked it. 194 00:09:15.840 --> 00:09:18.759 Now that being said, we know Freddie Freeman. He wants 195 00:09:18.759 --> 00:09:20.799 to get in the lineup every single day. He's a 196 00:09:20.840 --> 00:09:22.840 guy you can guarantee who's going to post when you 197 00:09:22.840 --> 00:09:25.320 need him. He wanted to be back out there today. 198 00:09:25.399 --> 00:09:27.279 Dave Roberts even said that he felt like he was 199 00:09:27.320 --> 00:09:29.840 good enough to go today, but they just want to 200 00:09:29.840 --> 00:09:32.799 give him this evening. He's day to day right now, 201 00:09:32.960 --> 00:09:35.440 continue to see how he feels because it was a 202 00:09:35.480 --> 00:09:38.000 surgically repaired ankle and it doesn't make sense to push 203 00:09:38.039 --> 00:09:40.320 it if you don't need to. So we'll keep an 204 00:09:40.320 --> 00:09:43.320 eye on Freddy's see how he's doing. But he is 205 00:09:43.360 --> 00:09:44.960 at to day at the moment. 206 00:09:45.240 --> 00:09:48.039 Big story in baseball over the weekend. Certainly the Dodgers 207 00:09:48.120 --> 00:09:51.080 five and OH Padres four and OH Yankee scored thirty 208 00:09:51.159 --> 00:09:54.679 six runs in three games in their series over the weekend. 209 00:09:54.679 --> 00:09:57.440 And there's a new bat in baseball that's creating a buzz. 210 00:09:57.879 --> 00:09:59.919 It's called the torpedo bat. 211 00:10:00.080 --> 00:10:02.679 And so what has been explained to me of this, 212 00:10:02.840 --> 00:10:05.720 you know, one in my lifetime torpedo bat, is that 213 00:10:05.960 --> 00:10:08.720 it's the sweet spot is a little bit moved down 214 00:10:08.840 --> 00:10:11.120 so that for guys who get jammed a lot, it 215 00:10:11.320 --> 00:10:14.519 just puts it so that more weight of the barrel 216 00:10:14.600 --> 00:10:17.000 is in that spot, making that the sweet spot. So 217 00:10:17.399 --> 00:10:19.519 now this bat feels like it came out of the 218 00:10:19.519 --> 00:10:21.440 blue for all of us. And I've asked what the 219 00:10:21.440 --> 00:10:23.480 players this as well, and they kind of feel like 220 00:10:23.519 --> 00:10:25.919 it has as well. We were told that actually young 221 00:10:26.000 --> 00:10:28.960 Carlos Stanton he actually used it in the postseason last year, 222 00:10:29.039 --> 00:10:31.399 so he's been more familiar with it. We able to know. 223 00:10:31.440 --> 00:10:34.080 As you mentioned the Yankees, they've been using it to 224 00:10:34.120 --> 00:10:36.919 start this regular season. None of the guys and the 225 00:10:36.919 --> 00:10:40.360 Dodgers at the moment are using the torpedo bat. But 226 00:10:41.399 --> 00:10:43.320 when it's all the rage and it's all the crazy. 227 00:10:43.480 --> 00:10:45.639 It has been ordered, so a few of the guys 228 00:10:45.759 --> 00:10:47.799 have ordered it just to test it out to see 229 00:10:47.840 --> 00:10:50.120 if they like it or not, because it really is 230 00:10:50.200 --> 00:10:52.679 just depending on where you make contact with the ball, 231 00:10:52.879 --> 00:10:55.039 where the sweet spot is for you in your swing, 232 00:10:55.320 --> 00:10:57.679 it might make sense for a few guys. So someone 233 00:10:57.720 --> 00:10:59.919 like Max Munsey, he did order it just to test 234 00:11:00.080 --> 00:11:03.840 it out. He said he should be coming hopefully middle 235 00:11:03.879 --> 00:11:05.919 of this week's maybe on Wednesday he should have it. 236 00:11:06.759 --> 00:11:08.759 A few others have as well, but it's a bat 237 00:11:08.759 --> 00:11:11.759 that's by Marucci, and yeah, they're kind of like, yes, 238 00:11:11.799 --> 00:11:13.240 it kind of like it came out as surprise as 239 00:11:13.279 --> 00:11:15.720 some of them, but hey, you know what, let's test 240 00:11:15.720 --> 00:11:17.200 it out, see if it works. And so if the 241 00:11:17.279 --> 00:11:19.080 guys like it based kind of how the wait, how 242 00:11:19.120 --> 00:11:22.440 it feels, maybe we'll be seeing more of these torpedo bats. 243 00:11:22.480 --> 00:11:24.200 But we definitely have a few guys that are going 244 00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:26.120 to be testing them out this week. 245 00:11:26.120 --> 00:11:28.879 New is always fun, certainly in a game of baseball here, 246 00:11:28.879 --> 00:11:30.519 so I appreciate it. We'll check in with you after 247 00:11:30.519 --> 00:11:32.720 the game. Still they come here on Wrango Casino Dodgers 248 00:11:32.720 --> 00:11:35.000 on Deck. We'll dive deeper to this pitching matchup. David 249 00:11:35.039 --> 00:11:37.759 Vadego's one on one with Eric Carrolls up next, so 250 00:11:37.840 --> 00:11:40.000 we'll get you an injury report and we'll hear from 251 00:11:40.080 --> 00:11:42.919 Dodger manager Dave Roberts.

Freddie Freeman not in the lineup 266 00:12:31.559 --> 00:12:33.879 tonight as we've been mentioning more on that coming up 267 00:12:33.879 --> 00:12:36.440 as well. Throughout the Dodgers on deck pregame and during 268 00:12:36.480 --> 00:12:39.759 the game. Freddy Freeman not in the lineup. He tweaked 269 00:12:39.759 --> 00:12:41.720 his right ankle that he had surgery on during the 270 00:12:41.720 --> 00:12:45.559 off season, slipped in the shower on Saturday night after 271 00:12:45.559 --> 00:12:47.960 the Dodgers win. So sad back out the Dodgers, Davy, 272 00:12:48.000 --> 00:12:49.240 maybe get a little bit more as we check in 273 00:12:49.399 --> 00:12:51.960 the Dodger skipper anything else, Dave? 274 00:12:52.000 --> 00:12:53.679 Do you questions for Dave? 275 00:12:53.799 --> 00:12:53.960 Dave? 276 00:12:54.039 --> 00:12:55.879 Can you just describe Dave? 277 00:12:55.960 --> 00:12:59.799 Can you talk about the pressure in the dugouts with Dave? 278 00:13:01.120 --> 00:13:04.320 He had a little mishap in the shower, Uh, entering 279 00:13:04.360 --> 00:13:08.440 the shower the bathtub and so slipped and it was 280 00:13:08.519 --> 00:13:12.000 kind of it's the same ankle and so day to 281 00:13:12.080 --> 00:13:16.240 day and kind of swelled up a little bit. Not 282 00:13:16.360 --> 00:13:24.720 Able to play tonight. Happened Uh two days ago or yeah, 283 00:13:25.080 --> 00:13:28.360 or was it yesterday? Maybe yesterday, I think it's or 284 00:13:28.559 --> 00:13:31.559 Sunday night something like that or Saturday night something like that. 285 00:13:32.320 --> 00:13:37.279 Came in yesterday for treatment. Feels better and just kind 286 00:13:37.320 --> 00:13:39.559 of he feels that he could go out there and play, 287 00:13:40.679 --> 00:13:43.320 but just kind of the upside downside kind of doing 288 00:13:43.320 --> 00:13:46.600 the math just let him kind of recoup today and 289 00:13:46.600 --> 00:13:52.279 we'll see how he is tomorrow. You know what, it 290 00:13:52.360 --> 00:13:56.240 wasn't one hundred percent, So it wasn't a hundred percent, 291 00:13:56.360 --> 00:13:59.279 but still obviously the way he swung the bat in 292 00:13:59.320 --> 00:14:00.240 a good spot. 293 00:14:00.519 --> 00:14:05.559 Was Dave, What can you tell us about torpedo bats? 294 00:14:05.919 --> 00:14:08.519 You know what, I guess it's just crazy. I just 295 00:14:08.559 --> 00:14:13.879 haven't dug into it. It's certainly early and there's kind 296 00:14:13.919 --> 00:14:15.840 of people talking about it, but I don't think any 297 00:14:15.879 --> 00:14:17.720 of our guys swing that bats, So I'm not sure 298 00:14:17.720 --> 00:14:21.559 what it is. Yeah, I just saw a picture of it, 299 00:14:21.600 --> 00:14:23.840 but I don't know, you know, the benefits. I don't 300 00:14:23.879 --> 00:14:26.399 really know who's using them. I haven't really spent too 301 00:14:26.440 --> 00:14:27.120 much time on it. 302 00:14:27.919 --> 00:14:31.320 Is it surprising to you that, you know, after so 303 00:14:31.480 --> 00:14:33.879 many years of you know, making, that they're still kind 304 00:14:33.879 --> 00:14:39.200 of finding these new ways to like improve them. 305 00:14:40.399 --> 00:14:43.240 It's uh, I wouldn't say totally surprising. I guess it's 306 00:14:43.240 --> 00:14:46.399 surprising in one sense where baseball is very tradition driven, 307 00:14:47.080 --> 00:14:49.600 but I do think that trying to figure out any 308 00:14:50.000 --> 00:14:55.639 competitive advantage maximize something a product is not a bad thing, 309 00:14:56.080 --> 00:14:59.039 and so certainly nowadays there's a lot more open minded 310 00:14:59.080 --> 00:15:00.919 players to kind of if it gives them a chance 311 00:15:00.960 --> 00:15:02.159 to perform better. 312 00:15:02.639 --> 00:15:05.279 All right, there's Dave Roberts talking about everybody else around 313 00:15:05.279 --> 00:15:09.399 baseball's talking about torpedo bats and certainly Freddy Freeman's ankle. 314 00:15:09.600 --> 00:15:11.720 But he tweaked over the weekend. As we continue here 315 00:15:11.720 --> 00:15:14.519 on Morongo Casino Dodgers on Deck, we will check out 316 00:15:14.559 --> 00:15:16.200 with David Vass saying as we lead you up to 317 00:15:16.240 --> 00:15:19.320 first pitch, Dodgers and Braves Championship of Footy night out 318 00:15:19.320 --> 00:15:21.639 of Dodger Stadium, first pitch of seven ten, I'm Tim 319 00:15:21.720 --> 00:15:24.360 Kates's the world champion, Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network. 320 00:15:27.919 --> 00:15:33.759 This is MA Wrongo Casino Dodgers on Deck on your 321 00:15:33.799 --> 00:15:36.960 home for the Blue All Season Law. 322 00:15:37.240 --> 00:15:39.360 It's the Dodgers and Braves on this Monday and night. 323 00:15:39.399 --> 00:15:42.039 Tyler Glass now Grant Holmes a pitching matchup, first pitch 324 00:15:42.080 --> 00:15:43.080 coming up at seven ten. 325 00:15:45.480 --> 00:15:47.960 Joining Tim Kates on Dodgers on Deck. 326 00:15:48.000 --> 00:15:49.799 I accept everybody for who they are. 327 00:15:49.879 --> 00:15:53.080 This is Dodger insider David Basse. 328 00:15:53.440 --> 00:15:55.679 All right, David, looks like the shower wasn't a safe 329 00:15:55.679 --> 00:15:57.480 place for Freddy Freeman over the weekend. 330 00:15:58.360 --> 00:15:58.559 Yeah. 331 00:15:58.639 --> 00:16:02.120 Unfortunately for Freddy, he had a slip in the shower. 332 00:16:02.159 --> 00:16:04.200 I mean when you hear mishap, I mean, that's what 333 00:16:04.279 --> 00:16:08.240 you immediately think. And look, Freddie's had to deal with 334 00:16:08.279 --> 00:16:11.600 that right ankle since he had surgery on it, and 335 00:16:11.679 --> 00:16:14.720 even before as we know, and he was very candid 336 00:16:14.799 --> 00:16:16.840 with us in spring training where he said, it's going 337 00:16:16.919 --> 00:16:17.799 to have to be managed. 338 00:16:17.840 --> 00:16:21.120 I might even have to miss day games after night games. 339 00:16:21.159 --> 00:16:25.799 And look things happened, I mean, right, but it's the 340 00:16:25.879 --> 00:16:29.960 ankle hasn't just magically gotten better. It's been swollen like 341 00:16:30.000 --> 00:16:33.039 a cantalope. After every one of these games, most players 342 00:16:33.120 --> 00:16:36.240 probably would have sat out and been on the il, 343 00:16:36.360 --> 00:16:39.320 but Freddy wants to be out there. And that's what 344 00:16:39.480 --> 00:16:41.919 makes Freddy Freeman the great player that he is, not 345 00:16:41.960 --> 00:16:44.039 only what he does on the field, but the fact 346 00:16:44.039 --> 00:16:45.720 that he wants to be out there every day. 347 00:16:46.039 --> 00:16:47.919 David has turned by four. There's one thing we like. 348 00:16:48.000 --> 00:16:49.840 Its choice is fine yours with the four f one 349 00:16:49.879 --> 00:16:52.919 to fifty gas hybrid all electric tough. This mark can 350 00:16:52.960 --> 00:16:55.320 only be called F one fifty and the Yankee scored 351 00:16:55.399 --> 00:16:58.559 thirty six runs in a three game series over the weekend. 352 00:16:58.840 --> 00:17:01.159 The talk of baseball right now what they're using at 353 00:17:01.159 --> 00:17:03.120 the plate torpedo bets. 354 00:17:03.559 --> 00:17:06.319 Yeah, it's just a weight distribution that is a little 355 00:17:06.359 --> 00:17:09.640 bit different. I guess they had an mit nerd for 356 00:17:09.839 --> 00:17:12.920 lack of a better turn a term, be able to 357 00:17:13.160 --> 00:17:17.039 kind of identify where these Yankee hitters hit the baseball 358 00:17:17.079 --> 00:17:20.079 the most, and it's not usually on the traditional sweet spot. 359 00:17:20.200 --> 00:17:23.160 So they redistributed the weight of the bat and it's 360 00:17:23.240 --> 00:17:26.920 well within the rules. And Dodgers hitting coach Rob Van 361 00:17:27.000 --> 00:17:31.400 Sooyak was cornered by the beat here at Dodgers Stadium, 362 00:17:31.480 --> 00:17:33.279 so I jumped in and here's what he had to 363 00:17:33.279 --> 00:17:36.880 say about just hitters trying to even the technical playing 364 00:17:36.880 --> 00:17:39.039 field that pitchers have at their advantage. 365 00:17:39.240 --> 00:17:40.240 It's the big part of it. 366 00:17:40.319 --> 00:17:43.000 They have track man, they have a lot more info 367 00:17:43.079 --> 00:17:45.839 on what they're doing and all that, and we don't 368 00:17:45.920 --> 00:17:49.599 capt the bat up to this point, so it's a 369 00:17:49.599 --> 00:17:52.039 little bit like less known on our end. So I 370 00:17:52.039 --> 00:17:53.519 think guys are gonna try it. I mean, how do 371 00:17:53.559 --> 00:17:54.319 you not right? 372 00:17:55.119 --> 00:17:57.920 I will say this, Tim that I do remember back 373 00:17:57.960 --> 00:18:00.599 in twenty twenty one, the Dodgers kind I had Cody 374 00:18:00.599 --> 00:18:03.640 Bellinger hooked up to all this machinery because they were 375 00:18:03.680 --> 00:18:05.359 trying to fit him like he would if you go 376 00:18:05.400 --> 00:18:09.119 to a golf store for customized golf clubs. They were 377 00:18:09.160 --> 00:18:11.160 trying to do that back then in twenty one with 378 00:18:11.240 --> 00:18:14.000 Cody Bellinger. But it's a field thing for a lot 379 00:18:14.000 --> 00:18:17.680 of hitters. It may make practical sense, but guys just 380 00:18:17.680 --> 00:18:20.440 don't like the feel of it. But we'll see how 381 00:18:20.440 --> 00:18:23.160 many hitters turned to whatever the Yankees are doing. 382 00:18:23.839 --> 00:18:26.400 Jerks and Profar Dodger is certainly familiar with him with 383 00:18:26.440 --> 00:18:29.920 the Padres incident in left field last year. He is 384 00:18:29.960 --> 00:18:32.200 now in Atlanta brave, but he will be playing for 385 00:18:32.400 --> 00:18:32.880 very long. 386 00:18:33.400 --> 00:18:36.759 Hey, or Tim orl Herscheizer just stepped in with his 387 00:18:36.880 --> 00:18:38.480 brand new right hip into the booth. 388 00:18:38.519 --> 00:18:38.680 Here. 389 00:18:38.759 --> 00:18:42.039 He's got his beautiful blue navy blue blazer. Are you 390 00:18:42.079 --> 00:18:44.640 wearing his replica jersey right now? Back in the studio? 391 00:18:44.680 --> 00:18:47.480 We all want to know, I am not. No, Unfortunately, 392 00:18:47.519 --> 00:18:51.519 that's disappointing. Disappointing, Well, Orl's not disappointed. Jerks and Profar 393 00:18:51.599 --> 00:18:54.640 is not playing tonight, and neither is Will Smith. Remember 394 00:18:54.759 --> 00:18:58.200 last year after a Padre game, he was called mystery 395 00:18:58.400 --> 00:19:01.640 relevant by the Dodger catcher after there was some barking 396 00:19:01.720 --> 00:19:04.720 going on, and quite honestly, there was a lot of 397 00:19:04.759 --> 00:19:08.559 buzz on the field during betting practice from unnamed Dodger 398 00:19:08.640 --> 00:19:12.920 players Tim. They will remain unnamed here, but they were 399 00:19:13.759 --> 00:19:17.480 talking about the revelation of a season that Jerkson Profar 400 00:19:17.640 --> 00:19:21.279 had last year, and it all makes sense now, Dave. 401 00:19:21.480 --> 00:19:25.599
