Jack Flaherty got 23 00:01:07.359 --> 00:01:09.480 to start, the right hander coming off his best start 24 00:01:09.519 --> 00:01:12.959 as a Dodger, but last night he only lasted three innings, 25 00:01:12.959 --> 00:01:15.200 giving him four runs on five hits while striking out 26 00:01:15.239 --> 00:01:18.280 four along the way. The Braves got the scoring started 27 00:01:18.359 --> 00:01:21.480 early in the first met Olson a two out RBI, 28 00:01:21.640 --> 00:01:24.040 doubled to right and the Braves were up one to nothing. 29 00:01:24.480 --> 00:01:26.840 In the third, the Dodgers able to get to Brave 30 00:01:26.879 --> 00:01:30.000 starter Chris sale Key k Hernandez a ground rule double 31 00:01:30.040 --> 00:01:33.000 in one out after show he struck out that brought 32 00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:35.719 up Mookie Betts and the breath of fresh air moment 33 00:01:35.719 --> 00:01:36.159 of the game. 34 00:01:37.040 --> 00:01:39.079 So all ready to deal here Now there are to 35 00:01:39.079 --> 00:01:42.480 two pitch to Bets swing on and that is into 36 00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:43.920 shallow center field. 37 00:01:43.640 --> 00:01:44.799 Long run in for Harris. 38 00:01:44.840 --> 00:01:45.719 You won't get it. 39 00:01:45.719 --> 00:01:48.040 It drops.

The score was tied at one, but not 52 00:02:23.919 --> 00:02:27.240 for long. Jack Flerity got into trouble. A lead off double, 53 00:02:27.280 --> 00:02:29.840 then a walk three batters later, a walk to load 54 00:02:29.879 --> 00:02:32.599 the bases with two outs, when things really went south 55 00:02:32.639 --> 00:02:33.680 for Flarity. 56 00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:38.919 One ball, one strike, pitch to rco swung on, hitting 57 00:02:38.960 --> 00:02:40.080 the ear of the white center. 58 00:02:39.879 --> 00:02:42.000 Field gamp Bookie on the run. He's not gonna get it. 59 00:02:42.199 --> 00:02:43.280 This is big trouble. 60 00:02:43.960 --> 00:02:44.800 So Lari is in. 61 00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:48.280 Here comes Murphy kell Nick behind him. It is a 62 00:02:48.360 --> 00:02:53.360 two out basis clearing double and Upbraids have opened up 63 00:02:53.439 --> 00:02:57.280 a lead here in the third, eniting three runs commanded a. 64 00:02:57.439 --> 00:03:02.520 Four to one Orlando Arcia, a basis clearing double, braves 65 00:03:02.599 --> 00:03:04.719 a four to one lead, and things would only get 66 00:03:04.800 --> 00:03:08.000 worse than the sixth. Evan Phillips and Ryan Brazier combined 67 00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:10.680 to give up six runs. Dodgers were down ten to one. 68 00:03:10.759 --> 00:03:13.439 With the game out of reach, Dave Roberts emptied the 69 00:03:13.479 --> 00:03:16.520 bench and brought in Miguel Rojas to pitch the eighth inning. 70 00:03:16.840 --> 00:03:19.199 He put up a zero. Then Key Key Hernandez, if 71 00:03:19.199 --> 00:03:21.400 we've seen before, he came in and pitched as a 72 00:03:21.439 --> 00:03:24.319 position player a scoreless eighth. Dodgers, though, go on and 73 00:03:24.400 --> 00:03:26.840 lose last night ten to one. Chris Sailed will win 74 00:03:26.919 --> 00:03:30.199 his seventeenth of the season. Jack Flerry the loss. Dodgers 75 00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:32.319 have now dropped the first two games of this series 76 00:03:32.360 --> 00:03:34.840 in Atlanta. They're now eighty seventy and sixty one on 77 00:03:34.960 --> 00:03:37.080 this season, but they look to churn things around here 78 00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:40.319 on Sunday Night Baseball. Walker Buehler on the mound, first 79 00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:42.319 pitch coming up at four to ten, and with more 80 00:03:42.360 --> 00:03:44.479 we head out to the Galpa Motors broadcast booth as 81 00:03:44.479 --> 00:03:48.400 we say hello to Rick Monday and Tim Neffert. Guys, Tim, 82 00:03:48.520 --> 00:03:49.280 thank you very much. 83 00:03:49.319 --> 00:03:52.960 We've actually seen blue skies here in Atlanta today, some 84 00:03:53.199 --> 00:03:56.039 clouds hanging around, but we're getting you ready for Sunday 85 00:03:56.080 --> 00:03:58.879 Night baseball. In the third game of this four game 86 00:03:59.039 --> 00:04:01.680 series against the Land of Braves. The Dodger has come 87 00:04:01.719 --> 00:04:03.960 into this one eighty seven and sixty one, three and 88 00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:07.039 a half ahead of San Diego and five ahead of 89 00:04:07.080 --> 00:04:10.560 the Arizona Diamondbacks in the National League Western Division. Over 90 00:04:10.639 --> 00:04:14.080 the National League East, the Braves and Mets were tied, 91 00:04:14.199 --> 00:04:16.600 but the Phillies walked off the Mets earlier today, so 92 00:04:16.680 --> 00:04:19.680 the Braves now sit in second place and a half 93 00:04:19.759 --> 00:04:22.600 game ahead of them in the wild card standings. The 94 00:04:22.680 --> 00:04:25.360 Mets find themselves a half game back the Braves overall 95 00:04:25.480 --> 00:04:30.000 eighty one and sixty seven. The pitching matchup today is 96 00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:32.680 Walker Buehller at one in five and an ERA of 97 00:04:32.800 --> 00:04:36.040 five ninety five, looking to find his way against veteran 98 00:04:36.120 --> 00:04:39.160 right hander Charlie Morton. Morton is eight and eight and 99 00:04:39.319 --> 00:04:41.680 a four to eleven earned run average. The Dodgers have 100 00:04:41.759 --> 00:04:43.720 seen plenty of Morton in the past, and the Braves 101 00:04:44.160 --> 00:04:46.959 have seen plenty of Bueller in the past. In the 102 00:04:47.079 --> 00:04:49.800 lineup today for the Dodgers, Freddy Freeman goes back to 103 00:04:49.879 --> 00:04:53.000 the third spot, te Oscar Hernandez back to cleanup moment. 104 00:04:53.040 --> 00:04:55.240 Yeah, and Austin Barnes will do the catching gain, Kevin 105 00:04:55.279 --> 00:04:57.639 Kiermer is going to be in centerfield, kier maraill bet 106 00:04:57.680 --> 00:05:00.399 in the ninth spot in this lineup. You know, we 107 00:05:00.480 --> 00:05:02.279 can talk about a lot of different things. This is 108 00:05:02.319 --> 00:05:04.480 the time the Dodgers right now have to kick it 109 00:05:04.519 --> 00:05:07.000 into gear. They've lost four or five six of the 110 00:05:07.120 --> 00:05:09.879 last nine and a three and a half game lead. 111 00:05:10.040 --> 00:05:13.120 Is they get ready to go against San Diego in 112 00:05:13.199 --> 00:05:15.720 the Western Division. They have not really played very well. 113 00:05:15.759 --> 00:05:18.560 They have not been able to pitch very well, and 114 00:05:19.000 --> 00:05:21.759 the starting pitching has really been a question mark. You 115 00:05:21.839 --> 00:05:23.920 can talk more a little bit later on about the pitching, 116 00:05:23.959 --> 00:05:25.759 but this is going to be a big outing for 117 00:05:25.920 --> 00:05:28.720 Walker Bueller because they need some more hands to be 118 00:05:28.879 --> 00:05:32.319 raised from the starting rotation and say, look, count me 119 00:05:32.439 --> 00:05:34.959 in on postseason play. As Dave Roberts is saying the 120 00:05:35.040 --> 00:05:37.360 other day, said, Okay, we're in a good position, but 121 00:05:37.480 --> 00:05:40.959 they have not nailed down yet postseason play. That's going 122 00:05:41.000 --> 00:05:42.639 to be right at the top of the list now. 123 00:05:42.759 --> 00:05:45.240 Dave Roberts a little while ago in the dugout was 124 00:05:45.279 --> 00:05:48.199 telling the assembled media that they had a team meeting 125 00:05:48.279 --> 00:05:51.959 today and held it and talked about the significance of 126 00:05:52.079 --> 00:05:55.000 Roberto Clemente his life and his career and kind of 127 00:05:55.079 --> 00:05:58.639 devetailed that into a message of belief in this group 128 00:05:59.600 --> 00:06:02.079 and that this team is one that he feels can 129 00:06:02.120 --> 00:06:04.199 go the whole way. But again, they've got to get 130 00:06:04.240 --> 00:06:06.360 some runs on the board. They're outscoring sixteen to three 131 00:06:06.399 --> 00:06:07.199 in the series so far. 132 00:06:07.319 --> 00:06:09.959 Yeah, not only that, but you can look back really 133 00:06:10.439 --> 00:06:12.639 longer stretch. We'll talk more about it. During the ball game. 134 00:06:12.920 --> 00:06:15.199 They've had not a whole lot of opportunities to score 135 00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:18.560 runners in scoring position, and last night it was not 136 00:06:18.720 --> 00:06:20.839 real good based running right at the top of the 137 00:06:20.959 --> 00:06:24.040 lineup in the very first inning. They've had games that 138 00:06:24.120 --> 00:06:26.720 they not played very good defense and covering on just 139 00:06:26.879 --> 00:06:30.480 little fundamental areas, and that's something that needs to be polished. 140 00:06:30.519 --> 00:06:32.720 I mean, we're looking at game number one and forty 141 00:06:32.839 --> 00:06:36.079 nine as they get set to go here tonight in Atlanten, 142 00:06:36.560 --> 00:06:38.279 and this is the time that you need to really 143 00:06:38.360 --> 00:06:41.279 start to push down the accelerator. Right now, the doctors 144 00:06:41.319 --> 00:06:42.560 are having difficulty doing that. 145 00:06:42.800 --> 00:06:45.199 I think you're expecting more out of the top three 146 00:06:45.240 --> 00:06:47.959 of the batting order Otani, Betts, and Freeman, who are 147 00:06:48.000 --> 00:06:51.360 a combined two for twenty in the series, and Otani's over. 148 00:06:51.680 --> 00:06:55.360 Yeah, and it's interesting to watch how they are pitching 149 00:06:55.480 --> 00:06:59.079 to show Otani. They have tried to jamming. They've tried 150 00:06:59.120 --> 00:07:02.199 to go away, gone away from him a lot, and 151 00:07:02.399 --> 00:07:06.519 so far o'tane. You also wonder is O'tani maybe thinking 152 00:07:06.600 --> 00:07:09.480 in the back of his mind about home runs and 153 00:07:09.600 --> 00:07:12.000 stolen bases. You know, there's some games to be won, 154 00:07:12.560 --> 00:07:16.199 and the Dodgers they just can't afford to miss opportunities. 155 00:07:16.240 --> 00:07:17.920 And that's been the case. Really we look at the 156 00:07:17.959 --> 00:07:19.279 last dozen games. 157 00:07:19.399 --> 00:07:23.079 Looking for an opportunity tonight against Charlie Morton, the veteran 158 00:07:23.199 --> 00:07:27.199 right handed for Atlanta, going against Walker Bueller for the Dodgers, 159 00:07:27.319 --> 00:07:29.360 Game three coming up from Atlanta. 160 00:07:29.439 --> 00:07:31.839 Tim, all right, thank you very much as we cut 161 00:07:31.879 --> 00:07:34.079 you down to first pitch.

Do you feel that pressure? 236 00:11:02.519 --> 00:11:04.679 Do you think about those expectations at all? 237 00:11:05.279 --> 00:11:05.320 No? 238 00:11:05.440 --> 00:11:06.159 I mean our jobs. 239 00:11:06.240 --> 00:11:07.799 Go out and give the team a chance to win. 240 00:11:07.879 --> 00:11:09.639 If you look at tonight, I didn't really didn't do 241 00:11:09.679 --> 00:11:12.200 a good job of that.

And and he's pitched in some 295 00:13:39.639 --> 00:13:43.120 of the biggest ball games, you know, in our franchise's history, 296 00:13:43.720 --> 00:13:46.159 and so you know, just go out there and take 297 00:13:46.200 --> 00:13:48.080 it one pitch at a time and you. 298 00:13:48.120 --> 00:13:49.759 Know, put us in a position to win a ball game. 299 00:13:50.000 --> 00:13:52.279 Do you feel like one start is going to make 300 00:13:52.360 --> 00:13:55.240 a click or do you feel like he's working towards 301 00:13:55.320 --> 00:13:56.799 something he does? 302 00:13:56.840 --> 00:13:59.360 He has he accepted just who he is right now 303 00:13:59.399 --> 00:13:59.879 as a pitch. 304 00:14:00.480 --> 00:14:02.720 He definitely hasn't accepted who he is as a pitcher, 305 00:14:03.279 --> 00:14:06.360 which is a good thing. I do think that one 306 00:14:06.480 --> 00:14:09.840 start can get you on a roll, and so you know, 307 00:14:09.919 --> 00:14:12.159 the way I look at things is this is an opportunity. 308 00:14:12.320 --> 00:14:14.159 So I I do believe that this could be a 309 00:14:14.240 --> 00:14:18.840 good night and he could get on a heater. What's that? 310 00:14:21.360 --> 00:14:23.480 I know he's he flew out. I'm not sure where 311 00:14:23.519 --> 00:14:26.440 he flew to, but he's not with the team. Now. 312 00:14:26.720 --> 00:14:29.480 Do you know what kind of like the longer term 313 00:14:29.519 --> 00:14:31.720 progression of what he might have to do these this 314 00:14:31.840 --> 00:14:33.759 winner just kind of getting back to throwing that do 315 00:14:33.799 --> 00:14:35.360 you know yet kind of what the early stages of 316 00:14:35.399 --> 00:14:36.480 the recovery might look like. 317 00:14:37.159 --> 00:14:37.919 I don't know. 318 00:14:38.399 --> 00:14:40.279 I do know that there's gonna be weeks of a 319 00:14:40.320 --> 00:14:44.559 shutdown period of throwing, and and we'll see where he 320 00:14:44.759 --> 00:14:47.159 is at at that point in time, so you know, 321 00:14:47.360 --> 00:14:49.480 you call it the next handful of weeks, there's gonna 322 00:14:49.480 --> 00:14:50.080 be no throwing. 323 00:14:50.200 --> 00:14:51.080 That's that's what I do know. 324 00:14:51.320 --> 00:14:53.519 And was there anything more specific on the diagnosis or 325 00:14:53.639 --> 00:14:55.480 just as far as you know, still just elbow. 326 00:14:55.200 --> 00:14:58.919 Spring, elbo elbow sprang Yeah, with with the other pictures. 327 00:14:58.960 --> 00:15:00.519 Like Walker and some of the guys, like do you 328 00:15:00.600 --> 00:15:03.679 want them kind of feeling the need to like kind 329 00:15:03.720 --> 00:15:06.080 of take on some of that role and understand how 330 00:15:06.120 --> 00:15:08.720 important they are in the just kind of the construction 331 00:15:08.840 --> 00:15:10.440 of your team now or do you want them blocking 332 00:15:10.519 --> 00:15:12.120 it out or is it different for each guy? 333 00:15:12.360 --> 00:15:16.039 Like I think I think more so probably it's pretty 334 00:15:16.960 --> 00:15:21.919 understood the value of each pitcher, certainly the starting pitchers 335 00:15:22.080 --> 00:15:26.720 where given where are you know, starting staff is right now? 336 00:15:27.600 --> 00:15:29.519 So I don't think there needs to be any you 337 00:15:29.600 --> 00:15:31.600 know more any more emphasis. I think they just need 338 00:15:31.679 --> 00:15:34.200 to go out and pitch of their abilities and you know, 339 00:15:34.320 --> 00:15:36.960 each night, pitch to give a chance to win, and 340 00:15:37.080 --> 00:15:39.320 and you know, outside of that, that's I think that's 341 00:15:39.320 --> 00:15:40.279 the only expectation. 342 00:15:41.240 --> 00:15:44.360 Just the less he's supposed to pitch last night Triple A, 343 00:15:44.519 --> 00:15:44.960 he didn't. 344 00:15:45.840 --> 00:15:47.200 Might there be a reason for that? 345 00:15:48.039 --> 00:15:50.879 Now he will. There was a reason we brought him 346 00:15:51.240 --> 00:15:51.840 for coverage. 347 00:15:54.240 --> 00:15:57.279 We found we got through last night somehow with a 348 00:15:57.320 --> 00:16:01.320 couple of position players, but just kind of some things 349 00:16:01.320 --> 00:16:02.240 that were uncertain. 350 00:16:02.679 --> 00:16:03.879 But I think Justin is going to. 351 00:16:03.879 --> 00:16:06.720 Fly back, all right.

Who is in the booth 381 00:17:29.119 --> 00:17:31.960 right now. No, it's not Rick Monday or Tim Neverett. 382 00:17:32.319 --> 00:17:36.039 It's David Cone, five time World Series champion. We won't 383 00:17:36.079 --> 00:17:38.960 hold it against him that he's buddies with Mark Goubazaw. 384 00:17:39.400 --> 00:17:43.839 That's the blemish on his record, but we'll absolve him 385 00:17:43.880 --> 00:17:45.079 of Cupcake Gubazza. 386 00:17:46.960 --> 00:17:49.559 Sounds good. I'm sure he had a lot of team 387 00:17:49.640 --> 00:17:52.759 meetings in his days, Dave as a pitcher, especially with 388 00:17:52.799 --> 00:17:55.920 those Royals teams. But what did this team do today? 389 00:17:56.000 --> 00:17:57.599 Team meeting in that Dodger clubhouse. 390 00:17:58.440 --> 00:18:02.839 Yeah, Dave Roberts the opportunity today to gather the team 391 00:18:03.119 --> 00:18:07.240 and just reflect on Roberto Clemente day, just to let 392 00:18:07.319 --> 00:18:10.960 his players know what Clemente was all about on and 393 00:18:11.079 --> 00:18:13.160 off the field, and he also said he took the 394 00:18:13.279 --> 00:18:19.440 opportunity organically to just reinforce his belief in this Dodger team. 395 00:18:19.480 --> 00:18:22.039 They've gone through a lot of adversity this year, They've 396 00:18:22.039 --> 00:18:24.240 had to deal with a lot of injuries. So he 397 00:18:24.400 --> 00:18:30.160 took the opportunity, after acknowledging Roberto Clemente, to bring up 398 00:18:30.200 --> 00:18:33.119 his belief in the team and to give them some encouragement. 399 00:18:33.599 --> 00:18:36.920 Interesting thing took place before that meeting. Tim We were 400 00:18:37.119 --> 00:18:40.079 supposed to be allowed in that clubhouse at four o'clock 401 00:18:40.519 --> 00:18:43.920
