He will give us 26 00:01:27.239 --> 00:01:30.200 his thoughts on this show. Hey Otani shoulder injury that 27 00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:32.280 he suffered in the seventh inning in Game two. David 28 00:01:32.319 --> 00:01:34.760 Vasse is in New York with the team, traveled out 29 00:01:34.760 --> 00:01:37.719 there yesterday and will join us in the eight o'clock hour. 30 00:01:37.719 --> 00:01:40.159 We'll hear from Game three starter Walker Buehler coming up 31 00:01:40.400 --> 00:01:42.799 at eight o'clock. Steve's keys to a Game three win 32 00:01:42.920 --> 00:01:46.280 coming up as well. The shoulder injury to showy Otani 33 00:01:46.560 --> 00:01:49.040 at first glance, just looked like a normal slide into 34 00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:51.400 second base and the seventh inning, for the final out 35 00:01:51.439 --> 00:01:54.040 of the bottom of the seventh he rolled over onto 36 00:01:54.079 --> 00:01:57.200 his stomach and started to grimace and then held his 37 00:01:57.319 --> 00:02:00.400 left arm and the doctors for the Dodgers out in 38 00:02:00.400 --> 00:02:02.680 the field. Dave Roberts ran out in the field. He 39 00:02:02.799 --> 00:02:04.680 left the game of the seventh inning, and now we 40 00:02:04.760 --> 00:02:08.800 find out it is a shoulder sublexation and tests were 41 00:02:08.800 --> 00:02:11.599 done on it. He flew out separately from the team yesterday, 42 00:02:11.919 --> 00:02:13.599 did not work out with the team on the field 43 00:02:13.599 --> 00:02:16.680 a Yankee Stadium, but did do some baseball activities after 44 00:02:17.000 --> 00:02:19.240 they had left to test out that shoulder. As Dave 45 00:02:19.319 --> 00:02:22.599 Roberts alluded to, the shoulder injury is never a fun 46 00:02:22.639 --> 00:02:25.400 thing for a player. And this is a shoey Otani 47 00:02:25.439 --> 00:02:28.360 already coming off a Tommy John surgery, albeit to his 48 00:02:28.479 --> 00:02:31.680 right elbow. This is his left shoulder. When you saw 49 00:02:31.759 --> 00:02:34.599 the slide, initially it didn't look too bad. Sex he 50 00:02:34.680 --> 00:02:36.879 kind of just looked like maybe a little pressure was 51 00:02:36.879 --> 00:02:39.199 put on his left arm, maybe a wrist, maybe a 52 00:02:39.199 --> 00:02:41.639 finger or something. But the shoulder is something you never want. 53 00:02:41.479 --> 00:02:44.560 To mess with, no, and and much more complicated than 54 00:02:44.599 --> 00:02:47.199 an elbow. And I'm really looking forward to talking to 55 00:02:47.960 --> 00:02:50.560 doctor Chow and finding more about, you know, exactly what's 56 00:02:50.599 --> 00:02:55.960 going on with him. Of course, they had left shoulder subluxation. Yeah, 57 00:02:56.360 --> 00:02:58.479 I have no idea what that is, but I guess 58 00:02:58.520 --> 00:03:01.800 it's when you hurt your left shoulder. Partial dislocation, So 59 00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:04.599 I guess the shoulder doesn't completely pop out, Yeah, but 60 00:03:04.680 --> 00:03:07.039 there's damage to the shoulder. Then I had one of those. 61 00:03:07.120 --> 00:03:09.000 I had one of those when I was sixteen years old. 62 00:03:09.199 --> 00:03:10.800 I want to I want to ask doctor child about that, 63 00:03:10.840 --> 00:03:14.039 because I've always wondered I was sliding head first in 64 00:03:14.120 --> 00:03:16.599 the home plate, you know, you know, sixteen and stupid. 65 00:03:16.960 --> 00:03:20.840 And I was in American Legion baseball right before I signed. 66 00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:23.360 I was a maybe sophomore in high school. And I 67 00:03:23.599 --> 00:03:26.680 slid in a home plate and my hand caught the 68 00:03:26.759 --> 00:03:29.759 catcher's like foot as I was that he had blocked 69 00:03:29.759 --> 00:03:32.280 in front of home plate. And I kept going and 70 00:03:32.319 --> 00:03:34.840 my shoulder stayed back there where I was sliding, and 71 00:03:34.919 --> 00:03:38.000 I remember rolling over like show Hey did, and my 72 00:03:38.080 --> 00:03:40.759 shoulder was really hurting. And you know what, all through 73 00:03:40.759 --> 00:03:45.240 my baseball career, it never kept me from really doing anything, 74 00:03:45.759 --> 00:03:48.879 but it was always a reminder of that terrible decision 75 00:03:48.919 --> 00:03:50.439 to slide head first in the home plate when I 76 00:03:50.439 --> 00:03:52.719 was sixteen years old. I could always feel like when 77 00:03:52.719 --> 00:03:55.319 I raised my shoulders up, if you can just think 78 00:03:55.319 --> 00:03:57.879 about and pull your shoulders back a little bit, if 79 00:03:57.919 --> 00:04:00.360 there's any time where I can pull my shoulder, I 80 00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:03.800 can feel how tentative and weak it is back there. 81 00:04:03.879 --> 00:04:07.039 Is it a or it's just like, oh boy, that 82 00:04:07.080 --> 00:04:08.439 I better'm not going any further, that he's going to 83 00:04:08.520 --> 00:04:11.599 pop out. So it's always been weak, but it never 84 00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:14.520 bothered my baseball career. I was really lucky. And that's 85 00:04:14.520 --> 00:04:16.959 why I'm curious about this. Was show Hey, maybe it's 86 00:04:16.959 --> 00:04:19.160 something that he can play with that's not going to 87 00:04:19.199 --> 00:04:21.759 be debilitating. Yeah, but that's kind of how it was 88 00:04:21.800 --> 00:04:22.000 for me. 89 00:04:22.360 --> 00:04:24.519 I mean, I've heard in the last twenty four hours, 90 00:04:24.519 --> 00:04:27.560 I've heard from amateur doctors on social media to actual 91 00:04:27.600 --> 00:04:30.800 doctors on social media that put up put out some videos. 92 00:04:31.079 --> 00:04:32.720 And that's why I'm excited to talk to doctor child 93 00:04:32.720 --> 00:04:35.040 about this. Get an actual orthopedic surgeon to talk about 94 00:04:35.079 --> 00:04:37.800 this injury and somebody's been around professional sports teams for 95 00:04:37.839 --> 00:04:39.959 the better part of the last thirty years, to talk 96 00:04:40.000 --> 00:04:44.120 about this sub subluxation of the shoulder and is it 97 00:04:44.160 --> 00:04:46.040 a tear of the labor I've read doctors, That's what 98 00:04:46.079 --> 00:04:48.160 I'm curious about. It Did it just pop out and 99 00:04:48.199 --> 00:04:51.079 it's and it's now it's inflamed and it's gonna or 100 00:04:51.160 --> 00:04:53.160 did it create scar tissue and is that why it 101 00:04:53.199 --> 00:04:53.800 feels this way? 102 00:04:53.920 --> 00:04:54.240 Or right? 103 00:04:54.600 --> 00:04:57.800 And you know, and I really have heard doctors talk 104 00:04:57.839 --> 00:04:59.959 about this. In the time I've been around that show, 105 00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:03.600 are really like there's a lot that they still are 106 00:05:03.639 --> 00:05:06.279 tentative about. You know, it's not a perfected thing yet. 107 00:05:06.480 --> 00:05:08.319 About all the things that they do in their course, 108 00:05:08.639 --> 00:05:10.639 they've come a long ways. But when you're talking to 109 00:05:10.680 --> 00:05:13.120 compare that with an elbow night and day. From what 110 00:05:13.160 --> 00:05:15.240 I understand, and that's what doctor Chow would tell us. 111 00:05:15.319 --> 00:05:16.879 Yeah, and you know, if there's a tear in the 112 00:05:16.959 --> 00:05:19.360 labor and does that mean surgery after the season. Certainly 113 00:05:19.360 --> 00:05:22.199 he's not throwing here in the World Series. He's it's 114 00:05:22.199 --> 00:05:24.759 his left shoulder, so that's good as a hitter, right 115 00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:27.800 as it's his non front shoulder. As a left handed hitter, 116 00:05:27.839 --> 00:05:30.519 that'd be his right shoulder. Fixing the pictures his power arm. 117 00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:32.439 I guess you could call it. I think in all. 118 00:05:32.279 --> 00:05:35.439 Things considered, it's probably what you'd rather have as opposed 119 00:05:35.439 --> 00:05:37.319 to something on the right side. Of course, Okay, because 120 00:05:37.319 --> 00:05:39.839 he's pitching, you know, that's big problems if it's on 121 00:05:39.879 --> 00:05:41.959 the right side. And again mine was on my left, 122 00:05:41.959 --> 00:05:43.360 so it didn't bother me throwing up. 123 00:05:43.439 --> 00:05:45.399 But what about swinging though, No, it just it did. 124 00:05:45.480 --> 00:05:47.199 It didn't. It didn't bother me that. 125 00:05:47.319 --> 00:05:49.879 It's not going to pop out when you swing right. Soreness, 126 00:05:49.920 --> 00:05:52.839 the flexibility, the range of motion. And remember when. 127 00:05:52.680 --> 00:05:55.759 You're hitting two my left your left elbow from a 128 00:05:55.839 --> 00:05:58.319 right hand hitter, your elbow's down. You know if you 129 00:05:58.399 --> 00:06:01.199 raise your elbow up. I can feel it right now 130 00:06:01.240 --> 00:06:03.199 when I just raised my elbow up. What a difference 131 00:06:03.240 --> 00:06:05.399 that would make. But do you never really do that 132 00:06:05.639 --> 00:06:08.000 in baseball when you're hitting your the left elbows always down. 133 00:06:08.240 --> 00:06:11.360 So watching show Hey on the ground, I just kept thinking, 134 00:06:11.759 --> 00:06:14.040 oh no, not now exactly is that what you're thinking? 135 00:06:14.079 --> 00:06:14.279 Yeah? 136 00:06:14.279 --> 00:06:16.199 And then I thought, which arm is this I'm looking at. 137 00:06:16.199 --> 00:06:18.839 I'm like, okay, it's the left arm. Yeah, okay, thank goodness, 138 00:06:18.879 --> 00:06:21.360 I guess because he's coming back from Tommy John surgery 139 00:06:21.680 --> 00:06:24.319 on the right arm again and we want to protect 140 00:06:24.319 --> 00:06:26.199 that elbow. We want to protect that arm right because 141 00:06:26.240 --> 00:06:28.720 he's hopefully going to start pitching again next season. And 142 00:06:28.759 --> 00:06:33.839 then I hear shoulder sublexation, partial dislocation, and I've heard 143 00:06:33.879 --> 00:06:35.600 the word tear of the labor I'm thrown around the 144 00:06:35.680 --> 00:06:38.040 last twenty four hours. Let's hope it's not that case. Yeah, 145 00:06:38.079 --> 00:06:42.199 But then I think labram shoulder gosh darn it. Thankfully 146 00:06:42.240 --> 00:06:44.439 it's not the right shoulder that he had to be 147 00:06:44.439 --> 00:06:47.560 coming back from a laboram surgery throwing shoulder again. 148 00:06:47.560 --> 00:06:49.839 And that's problems down the road. How long are we 149 00:06:49.879 --> 00:06:51.360 going to get him as a pitcher? Maybe a year 150 00:06:51.439 --> 00:06:51.759 or two? 151 00:06:51.879 --> 00:06:52.040 Is that? 152 00:06:52.120 --> 00:06:55.439 And that's it? Price is averted? There is he going? Yeah? 153 00:06:55.600 --> 00:06:57.240 Is he going to become an outfielder? Now? 154 00:06:57.839 --> 00:07:00.600 You know, the bottom line was show hey, dude is 155 00:07:00.600 --> 00:07:03.439 so talented. I mean, let's say, worst case scenario, it 156 00:07:03.480 --> 00:07:05.240 happened to his right shoulder and he couldn't throw it. 157 00:07:05.839 --> 00:07:08.680 I mean, no doubt he could be converted to an outfielder, 158 00:07:08.759 --> 00:07:11.000 no question. You know he could do it with his 159 00:07:11.079 --> 00:07:13.560 speed and you know the way he throws in everything. 160 00:07:13.600 --> 00:07:15.759 But we don't want to even go there. Let's let 161 00:07:15.800 --> 00:07:18.000 him be the media that he is right now and 162 00:07:18.079 --> 00:07:20.360 see the great pitching that's coming next year. And of 163 00:07:20.360 --> 00:07:21.279 course all the offense. 164 00:07:21.360 --> 00:07:23.800 I love all the Dodger fans who saw that he 165 00:07:23.839 --> 00:07:27.040 did not travel with the team and immediately like, well, 166 00:07:27.079 --> 00:07:28.480 I wonder if he's at LAX. I wonder if he's 167 00:07:28.480 --> 00:07:30.319 gonna be on my flight to New York. Listen, and 168 00:07:30.879 --> 00:07:33.360 he's taking a PJA a private jet, yeah, to New York. 169 00:07:33.639 --> 00:07:36.279 He's Shoeotani. He can get there when he needs to 170 00:07:36.279 --> 00:07:38.519 get there, and he did arrive after the team got 171 00:07:38.560 --> 00:07:40.399 to New York yesterday. They did not fly out after 172 00:07:40.399 --> 00:07:42.680 the game on Saturday night. They were scheduled too, but 173 00:07:42.720 --> 00:07:44.720 I think a two nothing lead in this series, they 174 00:07:44.720 --> 00:07:47.800 didn't want to travel all night, rather fly early Sunday morning, 175 00:07:47.800 --> 00:07:50.360 get there in the afternoon. Workout last night, which they did. 176 00:07:50.639 --> 00:07:54.920 Shoeotani worked out after the team was finishing their workout. 177 00:07:55.040 --> 00:07:57.920 We'll find out how he felt today. I guess from 178 00:07:58.000 --> 00:07:59.720 Dave Roberts when he speaks to the media a couple 179 00:07:59.800 --> 00:08:03.000 hours before first pitch. But the only news we got 180 00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:05.199 officially yesterday was from Dave Roberts, and you heard that 181 00:08:05.240 --> 00:08:08.040 audio last hour saying that he expects shoey Otani to 182 00:08:08.079 --> 00:08:10.480 play in Game three. And at this point, I mean, 183 00:08:10.519 --> 00:08:12.600 doctor Chow will explain him more and give us more information, 184 00:08:12.639 --> 00:08:15.560 but I get the feeling it's a pain tolerance, yeah 185 00:08:15.600 --> 00:08:17.879 for show at this point how much can how much 186 00:08:17.920 --> 00:08:20.160 can you play through? How much are you willing to 187 00:08:20.319 --> 00:08:23.040 go through? And if it's gonna further damage your shoulder, 188 00:08:23.120 --> 00:08:24.920 that's one thing. But if it's just something that it's 189 00:08:24.959 --> 00:08:27.319 gonna bother you, it's not gonna damage it anymore. Right, 190 00:08:27.439 --> 00:08:30.240 But how much can you play through the pain? Hopefully 191 00:08:30.240 --> 00:08:31.920 he can play through it. And you wonder if he'd 192 00:08:31.959 --> 00:08:34.480 have some assistance in dealing with that pain, would they 193 00:08:34.480 --> 00:08:37.519 would they reject something? Yeah, would they inject it? I 194 00:08:37.559 --> 00:08:40.600 don't know, but you know again, doctor Chow will tell us. 195 00:08:40.639 --> 00:08:44.879 But still, hey, I thought, when it's just a partial 196 00:08:44.960 --> 00:08:47.320 separation and he's back, you know, could pop out and 197 00:08:47.360 --> 00:08:47.799 come back. 198 00:08:47.960 --> 00:08:50.320 It's still not gonna bee hundred percent. But like Dave 199 00:08:50.399 --> 00:08:54.279 Roberts said, he felt better today than yesterday. Tomorrow, he's 200 00:08:54.279 --> 00:08:56.840 probably gonna feel better than today. That's good news. And 201 00:08:56.879 --> 00:08:58.720 if that's just it, he's just gonna need some time 202 00:08:58.759 --> 00:09:00.720 to rest. Let's go out to the phone. Todaight six 203 00:09:00.759 --> 00:09:01.120 six nine. 204 00:09:02.519 --> 00:09:04.759 David Vess joins this next hour, Will Hood from Walker 205 00:09:04.799 --> 00:09:07.679 Bueler next hour as well Oscar and Baldwin Park.

That night, I was 219 00:09:37.159 --> 00:09:39.080 working late. I had to. I had to go help 220 00:09:39.080 --> 00:09:40.879 a buddy in the family out because I'm a plumbing 221 00:09:40.879 --> 00:09:42.440 by trades. I had to go hop out with something. 222 00:09:42.480 --> 00:09:44.919 Getting frustrated. I was going guy kid, going back and forth, 223 00:09:45.080 --> 00:09:46.919 hearing on the radio that I was hearing it play 224 00:09:47.120 --> 00:09:50.159 little by little as they were down, and then I left. 225 00:09:50.159 --> 00:09:52.600 I was frustrated, and I swear I turned Brittany to 226 00:09:52.679 --> 00:09:55.960 the radio, wanted to hear the game, and bam heard 227 00:09:56.000 --> 00:09:59.120 it right, Freddy Man. That was man. One thing I 228 00:09:59.200 --> 00:10:01.039 say to about the radio, you hear it first. For 229 00:10:01.120 --> 00:10:03.000 people on TV, it's like a minute or two delay. 230 00:10:03.480 --> 00:10:05.679 I heard it first, and yeah where every time where 231 00:10:05.720 --> 00:10:08.759 I live, at anytime. The Dodgers scored the light fireworks 232 00:10:08.960 --> 00:10:10.679 I don't know. And then after about two minutes ago, 233 00:10:10.840 --> 00:10:13.799 people started lighting fireworks, happy and man, it was a 234 00:10:14.240 --> 00:10:16.320 It's definitely those moments you're gonna always remember. I always 235 00:10:16.320 --> 00:10:18.360 remember I was driving my work mad and I heard 236 00:10:18.759 --> 00:10:21.759 heard the call five seventy beautiful when I heard it 237 00:10:21.799 --> 00:10:22.360 any other. 238 00:10:22.240 --> 00:10:25.320 Way, awesome, Oscar, appreciate it. Oscer, thanks for listening to 239 00:10:25.320 --> 00:10:28.120 a five seventy l A Sports. Patrick in Thousand Oaks. 240 00:10:28.120 --> 00:10:30.240 You're next up on a five seventy l A Sports 241 00:10:30.399 --> 00:10:32.639 with Sacks and Kate's and am Patrick, how you doing? 242 00:10:33.840 --> 00:10:36.960 I'm doing well. K C Sacks my all time favorite 243 00:10:37.000 --> 00:10:42.799 Dodger and k C my all time favorite workaholics. But hey, 244 00:10:42.840 --> 00:10:46.159 I have a quick question for Steve. Yeah, late in 245 00:10:46.200 --> 00:10:50.759 the game when Chasm stole second and then they the Dodgers, 246 00:10:51.679 --> 00:10:55.080 inextricably just kind of let him take third. I mean, 247 00:10:55.080 --> 00:10:58.960 they didn't have Monthy playing in or even double play depths, 248 00:10:59.039 --> 00:11:01.799 and they had him basic in shallow left field. I'm 249 00:11:01.840 --> 00:11:05.039 wondering what is the logic behind that. I mean, that 250 00:11:05.080 --> 00:11:08.639 could have been brutal without Freddy's heroics, it would have 251 00:11:08.639 --> 00:11:11.360 been a big point of controversy. And so I'm just wondering, 252 00:11:11.399 --> 00:11:13.039 why do you think they had him play him back 253 00:11:13.080 --> 00:11:13.519 so deep? 254 00:11:14.039 --> 00:11:16.200 Well? We wanted to take that. Yeah, go ahead, okay, 255 00:11:16.240 --> 00:11:18.600 thanks Patrick, Patrick, thanks for you call. Patrick. 256 00:11:19.559 --> 00:11:21.600 First of all, I wanted to allude about you said 257 00:11:21.600 --> 00:11:25.080 about Tim Kates about he's a workaholic. Yeah, you know 258 00:11:25.320 --> 00:11:27.240 he is. You know you you mentioned the word work 259 00:11:27.279 --> 00:11:29.360 to Tim and he gets drunk. So I mean it's 260 00:11:29.360 --> 00:11:32.039 a problem, right, it's a problem. We're just having fun 261 00:11:32.080 --> 00:11:32.399 with him. 262 00:11:33.000 --> 00:11:33.360 Patrick. 263 00:11:33.440 --> 00:11:36.440 No, Look, so I'm with you on this. I'm not 264 00:11:36.600 --> 00:11:39.240 an advocate of the over shifting. I think it's a 265 00:11:39.240 --> 00:11:42.159 little bit overrated. I think as a middle infielder, you 266 00:11:42.279 --> 00:11:44.679 always pinched the two guys at middle in for the 267 00:11:45.159 --> 00:11:48.080 shortstop in the second basement a little bit two steps up, 268 00:11:48.120 --> 00:11:50.879 two steps over towards second base, because you never want 269 00:11:50.919 --> 00:11:53.159 to give up the chance. How many times have we 270 00:11:53.240 --> 00:11:56.440 seen where they're shifting it's a double play situation and 271 00:11:56.480 --> 00:11:58.639 they hit a ground ball right to the right side 272 00:11:58.639 --> 00:12:00.720 of second base and it's through for a base hit. 273 00:12:00.799 --> 00:12:03.480 That should be a double play every single time. I 274 00:12:03.519 --> 00:12:06.000 don't like giving up the chance to turn a double 275 00:12:06.039 --> 00:12:09.600 play because it's a killer for the other side. And 276 00:12:09.759 --> 00:12:11.720 as far as third base is the same thing, lots 277 00:12:11.720 --> 00:12:14.200 of times what you see now, Patrick, it's a foot 278 00:12:14.279 --> 00:12:17.159 race between the runner after a secondary lead on the 279 00:12:17.159 --> 00:12:19.960 pitch and how fast can the third basement get over 280 00:12:20.039 --> 00:12:25.399 from the exaggerated shift that he's now engaging in. I'm 281 00:12:25.480 --> 00:12:27.840 not a I think you got to protect your base 282 00:12:27.879 --> 00:12:31.080 and whatnot. And I get the shifting part. We shifted, 283 00:12:31.399 --> 00:12:34.559 but we didn't do it so much that it becomes 284 00:12:34.600 --> 00:12:36.440 a bunch of you know, bull shift. 285 00:12:36.639 --> 00:12:38.240 Yeah, so that's it. 286 00:12:38.399 --> 00:12:41.919 The speed element of the game is coming back into baseball. 287 00:12:42.039 --> 00:12:44.240 Is it's a beautiful thing to see. We saw it 288 00:12:44.240 --> 00:12:47.639 with shoey Otani's stealing fifty bases this season. But to 289 00:12:47.679 --> 00:12:50.440 see what Jazz Chisholm can do on the bass pass, 290 00:12:50.720 --> 00:12:53.159 yeah talented, Yeah, I mean he really is the base 291 00:12:53.200 --> 00:12:55.440 hit next thing, you know, it's like watching Ellie Della 292 00:12:55.480 --> 00:12:58.559 Cruiz with the Cincinnati risk a single. Two pitches later, 293 00:12:58.600 --> 00:13:00.799 he's standing on third base. Right, He's a threat And 294 00:13:00.799 --> 00:13:01.960 does that change the game or what? 295 00:13:02.200 --> 00:13:02.720 Absolutely? 296 00:13:02.799 --> 00:13:05.879 Seriously, absolutely talk to the best fielders in baseball. You 297 00:13:05.919 --> 00:13:08.879 talk especially the outfielders. They have a tendency to look 298 00:13:08.960 --> 00:13:12.039 up just a beat before they should because that that 299 00:13:12.120 --> 00:13:14.320 cat might go to third base, and so they're looking 300 00:13:14.399 --> 00:13:16.759 up to a little bit too soon. And even gold 301 00:13:16.759 --> 00:13:18.919 glove outfits. We talked to Andre Ethier about it the 302 00:13:18.919 --> 00:13:21.360 other day. He said the same thing. Yeah, you know, 303 00:13:21.399 --> 00:13:23.879 that speed element of the game makes you look up 304 00:13:23.879 --> 00:13:26.000 a little bit. This guy won the gold glove and 305 00:13:26.399 --> 00:13:28.519 have a chance, a chance to make some errors that 306 00:13:28.600 --> 00:13:32.600 way because speed kills. It absolutely does, and the Dodgers 307 00:13:32.600 --> 00:13:35.039 were fortunate to hang on and get the win in 308 00:13:35.080 --> 00:13:36.919 Game one with the Grand Slam, and they get the 309 00:13:36.960 --> 00:13:39.519 win in Game two on Saturday night. Now in two 310 00:13:39.559 --> 00:13:42.120 oh series lead Game three with Walker Bueller on the mound, 311 00:13:42.159 --> 00:13:44.399 coming up at five oh eight this afternoon. Chris and 312 00:13:44.440 --> 00:13:46.480 your Bolina joins us now here on a five to 313 00:13:46.559 --> 00:13:48.440 seven he with Sax and Kates and am how you doing? 314 00:13:48.519 --> 00:13:49.120 Chris? 315 00:13:49.679 --> 00:13:50.639 Hey, guys, good morning. 316 00:13:50.639 --> 00:13:51.360 How are you Chris? 317 00:13:51.519 --> 00:13:53.360 Good, good, guys. 318 00:13:53.399 --> 00:13:56.960 I'm super excited. That Game one walkoff was absolutely nuts. 319 00:13:57.039 --> 00:13:59.240 That was like a first round knockdown. I mean, hard 320 00:13:59.240 --> 00:14:02.159 to think that the can come back. But the dislocation 321 00:14:02.399 --> 00:14:06.200 of Pani's shoulder is pretty concerning. I mean, those happened 322 00:14:06.240 --> 00:14:09.559 pretty frequently once, they happened once, so I don't know 323 00:14:09.600 --> 00:14:11.679 what the plan is, but it's kind of concerning. 324 00:14:12.360 --> 00:14:14.320 It is concerning. Chris we're gonna get an update from 325 00:14:14.360 --> 00:14:17.440 dctri Choo, who has been around professional athletes and worked 326 00:14:17.440 --> 00:14:21.039 for the Chargers as their team physician for two plus decades. 327 00:14:22.159 --> 00:14:24.240 He wighed in on social media over the weekend. He's 328 00:14:24.279 --> 00:14:26.519 with the Sports Injury Central and a doctor still in 329 00:14:26.559 --> 00:14:28.600 San Diego. He's gonna win with this next segment about 330 00:14:28.600 --> 00:14:31.879 this injury. What he's seen in past instants with guys 331 00:14:31.960 --> 00:14:34.120 having shoulder injuries. I mean for the Dodgers, he just 332 00:14:34.120 --> 00:14:36.080 had to go back four years to twenty twenty. In 333 00:14:36.120 --> 00:14:39.159 the NLCS, the Dodgers were facing the Braves and Keiky 334 00:14:39.159 --> 00:14:42.519 Hernandez and Cody Bellinger did a celebration where they kind 335 00:14:42.519 --> 00:14:46.759 of locked arms and the shoulder and Cody Bellinger popped. 336 00:14:47.159 --> 00:14:49.879 He heard it in the celebration. He has still played 337 00:14:49.879 --> 00:14:54.559 in the World Series. Yeah, and wasn't as productive in 338 00:14:54.600 --> 00:14:56.720 the World Series, but he's still played great defense in 339 00:14:56.759 --> 00:14:59.799 center field. And what happened after the season in no 340 00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:03.080 remember a month later he had surgery. Doctor Latrash performed 341 00:15:03.080 --> 00:15:06.320 surgery on his shoulder and Cody Bellinger in twenty eighteen 342 00:15:06.519 --> 00:15:09.240 or twenty twenty one, excuse me. After that surgery in 343 00:15:09.279 --> 00:15:12.080 twenty twenty had a slow start to the season. I 344 00:15:12.120 --> 00:15:15.519 mean it's a ten week rehab after that shoulder injury, 345 00:15:15.960 --> 00:15:17.879 and he came back in twenty twenty one and was 346 00:15:17.919 --> 00:15:19.639 slow to get going out of the box. You can 347 00:15:19.679 --> 00:15:22.399 tell the shoulder was still hurting him. He even afterwards 348 00:15:22.399 --> 00:15:24.320 was telling David Vassy that it took a few months 349 00:15:24.360 --> 00:15:27.080 for him to feel right at the plate in twenty 350 00:15:27.200 --> 00:15:29.440 twenty one coming back from that shoulder injury, just the 351 00:15:29.480 --> 00:15:32.480 stiffness and his swing and feeling comfortable again in the 352 00:15:32.559 --> 00:15:34.919 left handed side of the box. So it's something that, Yeah, 353 00:15:34.919 --> 00:15:37.879 it affected Cody Bellinger even after he heard it in 354 00:15:37.919 --> 00:15:38.559 twenty twenty. 355 00:15:38.799 --> 00:15:41.759 Yeah, this could be, you know, obviously a long term thing. 356 00:15:42.799 --> 00:15:45.360 If it pops out of the socket and gets back 357 00:15:45.399 --> 00:15:47.840 in it's still a lot of inflammation in there. And 358 00:15:48.000 --> 00:15:50.919 you know, like I said, I've dealt with this my 359 00:15:50.960 --> 00:15:53.000 whole baseball career, my whole life.
