Well after 0:01:54.320 --> 0:01:56.960 putting a thirteen spot up on the board on Friday 0:01:57.000 --> 0:02:00.360 in this series opener, the Dodgers came back yesterday and 0:02:00.400 --> 0:02:03.320 picked up right where they left off, getting after Jake Irvin, 0:02:03.600 --> 0:02:06.040 the starter for the Nationals. Freddie Freeman got it going 0:02:06.320 --> 0:02:09.400 with a two run double in the first Dodgers up 0:02:09.440 --> 0:02:11.840 two to nothing. Then they grabbed a three nothing leading 0:02:11.880 --> 0:02:14.600 the second on the Micguiel Rojas sack fly in the 0:02:14.680 --> 0:02:17.760 second still Dodgers up three to nothing, runners on for 0:02:17.880 --> 0:02:18.560 Freddy Freeman. 0:02:19.639 --> 0:02:22.640 Irvan's first pitch, Freeman swings and hits it in the 0:02:22.639 --> 0:02:25.600 air right center field. This ball is carrying back and 0:02:25.760 --> 0:02:27.840 it is off the base of the wall. 0:02:28.480 --> 0:02:30.480 Freddie Freeman has done it again. 0:02:31.040 --> 0:02:35.200 Ambushes Jake Irvin a first pitch double that drives in 0:02:35.320 --> 0:02:38.320 another pair and makes it five nothing. 0:02:38.200 --> 0:02:47.400 La Freddy Freeman has two doubles, He's knocked in four, 0:02:47.480 --> 0:02:49.320 and he's seen a total. 0:02:49.680 --> 0:02:51.160 Of just two pitches in the game. 0:02:51.400 --> 0:02:55.160 Freddie Freeman the two run double, his second of the game. 0:02:55.240 --> 0:02:57.280 You can hear the chance of Freddy in the background. 0:02:57.320 --> 0:03:01.440 Sounds like Dodger Stadium, but it's National's part. With that double, 0:03:01.800 --> 0:03:05.040 number five hundred and fifty of his career, Freddie Freeman 0:03:05.160 --> 0:03:08.320 passes Chipper Jones on the all time list. Next up, 0:03:08.400 --> 0:03:12.160 ten away from tying Eddie Murray and Jeff can't. But 0:03:12.200 --> 0:03:14.680 the Dodgers were just getting started at five to nothing. 0:03:15.000 --> 0:03:18.000 Alice call and RBI single and the third Dodgers led 0:03:18.120 --> 0:03:21.400 six to nothing. Fast forward to the fifth, Dodgers up 0:03:21.480 --> 0:03:25.600 six to two, runners on for red hot Andy Potters. 0:03:26.040 --> 0:03:31.160 See if pies can stay hot. The right handed Lord 0:03:31.240 --> 0:03:34.760 sets in fires Piz hits it in the air, left 0:03:34.760 --> 0:03:37.760 field in deep. This ball is on the track. It 0:03:37.880 --> 0:03:39.480 is gone. 0:03:41.720 --> 0:03:46.600 Andy Potez cannot be stopped, sends one into the Dodger 0:03:46.640 --> 0:03:51.440 bullpen for his third home run of the year, and 0:03:51.600 --> 0:03:53.680 the Dodgers lead nine to two. 0:03:54.280 --> 0:03:57.640 Andy Potez with the three run home run. He goes 0:03:57.720 --> 0:04:01.240 three for five yesterday the three run home run. Now 0:04:01.320 --> 0:04:07.520 batting five hundred on this season, Andy Pajez is on 0:04:07.720 --> 0:04:12.200 fire to start the twenty twenty six season. Dodgers weren't done. 0:04:12.400 --> 0:04:15.720 A Kyle Tucker RBI single in the seventh made it 0:04:15.760 --> 0:04:18.280 a ten to two lead. They go on and punish 0:04:18.360 --> 0:04:20.840 the Nationals yesterday by a final of ten to five. 0:04:21.160 --> 0:04:24.760 Tyler Glass now six solid innings, two runs, four hits, 0:04:24.920 --> 0:04:28.720 nine strikeouts. Then the Dodgers bullpen finished off the last 0:04:28.720 --> 0:04:32.400 three innings. Tanner Scott put up a zero, Ben Casparius 0:04:32.440 --> 0:04:35.039 gave up a couple runs. Guardo n Riquez gave up 0:04:35.080 --> 0:04:36.960 a run in the ninth inning, but the Dodgers' lead 0:04:37.080 --> 0:04:37.719 was too big. 0:04:37.920 --> 0:04:39.400 They get the win ten to five. 0:04:39.440 --> 0:04:41.840 They're now six and two on this season and now 0:04:41.880 --> 0:04:44.839 today they go for the sweep over the Washington Nationals. 0:04:45.080 --> 0:04:48.760 Roki Susaki will get the start. First pitch was scheduled 0:04:48.760 --> 0:04:52.960 for ten thirty five, but raining in our nation's capital, 0:04:53.080 --> 0:04:55.839 tarp on the field, this game will not start on time. 0:04:55.880 --> 0:04:58.680 But we head out to the Galloping four broadcast booth 0:04:58.720 --> 0:05:01.120 as we welcome in on this East than Sunday. 0:05:00.800 --> 0:05:02.320 Steven Nelson and Rick Monday. 0:05:02.360 --> 0:05:05.599 Guys, All right, Tim, we are here in DC for 0:05:05.839 --> 0:05:09.840 the series finale and mo as great a weather as 0:05:09.880 --> 0:05:12.200 we got the first two games of the series. That's 0:05:12.240 --> 0:05:15.080 as bad as it looks here and now the finale 0:05:15.200 --> 0:05:18.239 will start in a rain delay. So we'll keep everybody 0:05:18.320 --> 0:05:21.280 posted as we get information here at Nationals Park. We'll 0:05:21.320 --> 0:05:24.640 passed along everybody listening in on the Dodgers Audio Network. 0:05:24.680 --> 0:05:28.839 But whenever this game does start, they have an opportunity. 0:05:28.880 --> 0:05:31.720 The Dodgers will to complete the sweep of the Nationalstroki 0:05:31.760 --> 0:05:35.040 Sasaki against Foster Griffin the starting pitching matchup. And you know, 0:05:35.720 --> 0:05:38.080 the only sour notes so far in this series has 0:05:38.080 --> 0:05:41.480 been the injury to Mookie Betts and outside of that, 0:05:41.960 --> 0:05:45.799 especially from an offensive standpoint, which garnered so much conversation 0:05:45.920 --> 0:05:47.799 and concern coming into the weekend. 0:05:48.120 --> 0:05:49.120 They've answered the bell. 0:05:49.360 --> 0:05:52.479 Yeah, and getting an update actually on Mookie Bets. Not 0:05:52.520 --> 0:05:54.840 that long ago, is it. We were told last night 0:05:54.839 --> 0:05:57.080 when he left the ball game after scoring a run 0:05:57.080 --> 0:05:59.760 at the top of the first inning that it was 0:05:59.800 --> 0:06:02.520 the right side, the lower back. Well, that has now 0:06:02.560 --> 0:06:06.200 been updated. It's the right oblique. And anything that we 0:06:06.279 --> 0:06:09.080 know about oblique injuries in the past with other players, 0:06:09.120 --> 0:06:11.640 and you know you're playing the short stop position plus 0:06:11.680 --> 0:06:15.080 swinging the bat, it's really a high risk to come 0:06:15.120 --> 0:06:18.640 back soon. Are we talking maybe a couple of weeks, 0:06:18.680 --> 0:06:21.120 So we're talking a couple of months. No one really knows, 0:06:21.160 --> 0:06:22.280 including Mookie Betts. 0:06:22.680 --> 0:06:25.760 And I think the silver lining of that is that 0:06:25.960 --> 0:06:29.600 it's happening so early in the season and there is 0:06:29.760 --> 0:06:32.440 time for Mookie to take his time. There is just 0:06:32.560 --> 0:06:34.600 no pressure for him, Hey, I got a rush back 0:06:34.640 --> 0:06:37.799 for the postseason or for anything like that. He really 0:06:37.839 --> 0:06:41.520 can just let it heal, especially given the injury because 0:06:41.560 --> 0:06:43.839 it's an oblique we know how tricky those things can be. 0:06:44.040 --> 0:06:46.400 And Steven, I think this is obviously a very good 0:06:46.440 --> 0:06:48.800 move because if you want to be able to nip 0:06:48.839 --> 0:06:52.080 it in the bud as best you can and do 0:06:52.200 --> 0:06:54.720 it early. I mean this is you look at it. 0:06:55.120 --> 0:06:58.320 This is game number nine of one hundred and sixty 0:06:58.320 --> 0:07:00.720 two to find out who's going to win and the 0:07:00.760 --> 0:07:03.479 Western Division of the National League and then go on 0:07:03.600 --> 0:07:08.279 to a postseason play. So yeah, the risk reward at 0:07:08.320 --> 0:07:10.840 the early stages this is talking about, Hey, look, let's 0:07:10.880 --> 0:07:12.040 not increase the risk. 0:07:12.480 --> 0:07:15.080 Let's put him down. Has On Kim has rejoined the 0:07:15.080 --> 0:07:16.520 ball club. He is available. 0:07:16.880 --> 0:07:19.320 But this is big concern obviously how long this is 0:07:19.360 --> 0:07:20.960 going to sideline Mookie. 0:07:20.680 --> 0:07:23.840 Betts whenever we do get rolling today, the Dodgers hope 0:07:23.840 --> 0:07:26.760 that Roki Sasaki can build on his first outing of 0:07:26.760 --> 0:07:30.880 the year. Look, it wasn't a world beating outing for 0:07:30.960 --> 0:07:33.800 him by any stretch of the imagination, but given the 0:07:33.920 --> 0:07:37.720 expectations that he had for himself going into it on 0:07:37.760 --> 0:07:40.400 the heels of a really tough spring, it was at 0:07:40.480 --> 0:07:44.960 least encouraging and so now again a building blocky hope. 0:07:44.880 --> 0:07:47.280 You use the word encouraging, and I hope that was 0:07:47.320 --> 0:07:50.360 the case, because he said after the ballgame that he 0:07:50.480 --> 0:07:53.920 did not have a whole lot of faith, if you will, 0:07:54.040 --> 0:07:58.040 and going into the experience itself. Now, I understand you 0:07:58.080 --> 0:08:01.720 know a little trepidation your first outing, but hopefully he 0:08:01.760 --> 0:08:04.320 can build back upon it because we've seen now an 0:08:04.360 --> 0:08:08.240 increase in him attacking the strike zone. And that's exactly 0:08:08.920 --> 0:08:12.040 the verbiage that Dave Roberts used before his start. Look, 0:08:12.080 --> 0:08:14.560 they want him to attack the strike zone and make 0:08:14.600 --> 0:08:17.800 the hitters really defend themselves and have to swing the bats. 0:08:17.920 --> 0:08:20.160 Hopefully he can get to the place we were discussing 0:08:20.200 --> 0:08:23.640 Tyler Glassnell, getting to where he's exactly thinking anymore. He 0:08:23.720 --> 0:08:25.880 is just able to go out pitch and compete. The 0:08:25.920 --> 0:08:29.520 Dodgers and Nationals will compete at some point on this Sunday, 0:08:29.800 --> 0:08:33.040 the game, the series finale is officially going to start 0:08:33.080 --> 0:08:36.320 in a weather delay. Whenever we have more official word, 0:08:36.360 --> 0:08:38.520 we will pass that along to you. Until then, Tim, 0:08:38.600 --> 0:08:40.000 we're gonna send it back to you in the studio. 0:08:40.040 --> 0:08:41.640 All right, thank you, Nelly, as we cut you down 0:08:41.679 --> 0:08:43.760 the first pitch.

Can't wait 0:08:58.440 --> 0:09:00.880 to see what he has to say about Mookie Betts 0:09:00.880 --> 0:09:03.000 going to the injured list with the oblique strain. We'll 0:09:03.080 --> 0:09:05.360 check it with David Vassay throughout the hour. Of course, 0:09:05.400 --> 0:09:08.400 we'll break down what will this pitching matchup will look like. 0:09:08.640 --> 0:09:11.440 We got your Otani rewind and next we'll head to 0:09:11.480 --> 0:09:13.800 the field.

Last night we saw that in 0:11:23.480 --> 0:11:25.720 that first inning he was able to get on base, 0:11:25.800 --> 0:11:27.800 and then we noticed after he was running the bases 0:11:27.840 --> 0:11:30.360 he was kind of walking relatively slowly or even a 0:11:30.400 --> 0:11:33.240 little gingerly as he went into the dugout quickly was 0:11:33.240 --> 0:11:35.160 taken out of the game. We call Miguel Rojas come 0:11:35.200 --> 0:11:38.520 in and play at short. So afterwards he underwent he 0:11:38.559 --> 0:11:41.600 had an MRI. Yet they had announced that he exited 0:11:41.600 --> 0:11:45.000 the game with lower back pain. But today Dave Roberts 0:11:45.040 --> 0:11:49.240 said that the MRI actually revealed a right oblique strain. Obviously, 0:11:49.360 --> 0:11:51.520 when it comes to that, you know, you never really 0:11:51.520 --> 0:11:53.320 know what the timeline could look like. A lot of 0:11:53.320 --> 0:11:56.040 people say kind of that four to six weeks. Dave 0:11:56.120 --> 0:11:58.400 did say he wasn't sure if it would be that long, 0:11:58.520 --> 0:12:01.080 but obviously, with the news of being an oblique strain, 0:12:01.120 --> 0:12:03.720 they have decided to put him on the IL. So 0:12:03.800 --> 0:12:07.280 that means that Hassan Kim's he has been recalled, is 0:12:07.320 --> 0:12:10.600 going to be activated this afternoon, and he's actually going 0:12:10.679 --> 0:12:12.760 to be stepping in at short, So we're going to 0:12:12.760 --> 0:12:14.480 be seeing a little bit of a different setup. So 0:12:14.520 --> 0:12:18.200 we'll see Miguel Rojas as well as Hassan Kim kind 0:12:18.200 --> 0:12:20.959 of platuning at short essentially, even though there will be 0:12:21.000 --> 0:12:24.199 opportunity for Rohaks to be facing right handed batters when 0:12:24.200 --> 0:12:26.160 he's playing at short, and then they're going to keep 0:12:26.200 --> 0:12:29.840 Alex Freeland at second, continuing to give him that runway. 0:12:30.080 --> 0:12:32.480 You know what's great about this Dodger's roster is you 0:12:32.559 --> 0:12:34.720 hate to see anybody get hurt, but a guy like 0:12:34.760 --> 0:12:37.200 Bookie Betch goes down Kirsten and you look at the 0:12:37.200 --> 0:12:39.400 rest of the lineup, but it's like, Okay, you got 0:12:39.400 --> 0:12:42.319 like five other all stars that can easily just pick 0:12:42.400 --> 0:12:45.800 up this lineup on any given day exactly. 0:12:45.840 --> 0:12:47.880 And you know what we're really seeing right now, how 0:12:48.280 --> 0:12:50.400 guys have gotten back on track. You know, whether it 0:12:50.440 --> 0:12:52.640 was Kyle Tucker who kind of felt when you look 0:12:52.679 --> 0:12:55.800 at those first two series on the homestand that you know, 0:12:55.800 --> 0:12:57.360 he didn't really like his swing was in the best 0:12:57.360 --> 0:12:59.760 spot and he really was trying to like swing through it, 0:12:59.800 --> 0:13:01.960 like literally, just how can I keep singing the ball, 0:13:02.080 --> 0:13:04.319 swinging the bat and seeing what I can do. We've 0:13:04.360 --> 0:13:07.120 seen him now get to DC. The results have been consistent. 0:13:07.120 --> 0:13:09.240 If you look at the first two games of this series, 0:13:09.960 --> 0:13:12.720 someone like Freddie Freeman, he of Courts, had the home 0:13:12.800 --> 0:13:16.080 run in Game one yesterday, had two doubles now at 0:13:16.120 --> 0:13:19.640 a five hundred and fifty on his career. But afterwards 0:13:19.720 --> 0:13:21.440 he said that, you know, he was doing some work 0:13:21.520 --> 0:13:23.400 in the cage and he just kind of felt like 0:13:24.280 --> 0:13:26.360 he put the bat in between his legs and make 0:13:26.400 --> 0:13:29.280 sure that he wasn't like kind of overdoing his stride 0:13:29.360 --> 0:13:31.439 or anything, and then he's able to get those results 0:13:31.520 --> 0:13:35.480 last night. So they do feel like guys have kind 0:13:35.480 --> 0:13:38.080 of turned the corner and are in a really good spot. 0:13:38.120 --> 0:13:40.040 And you're right, it comes at a good time because 0:13:40.080 --> 0:13:43.280 obviously losing movies bat in the lineup is not ideal. 0:13:43.720 --> 0:13:45.520 Even when you look at the lineup today, we've seen 0:13:45.559 --> 0:13:49.520 how Miguel Rojas is going to be batting second. But 0:13:49.720 --> 0:13:51.920 essentially you're seeing how guys can kind of step up 0:13:51.960 --> 0:13:54.440 and kind of create different ways to get looks to 0:13:54.480 --> 0:13:57.480 attack the picture. So it's not something we might see 0:13:57.760 --> 0:14:00.000 every day. Obviously, Kyle Talker will be back out there 0:14:00.080 --> 0:14:03.160 in the lineup, but Dave did say that with some 0:14:03.240 --> 0:14:04.839 of the rain that's going to be here today, it 0:14:04.880 --> 0:14:07.000 might give him some time to get a better understanding 0:14:07.000 --> 0:14:09.000 as to what the order is going to look like 0:14:09.080 --> 0:14:11.559 and the lineup's going to look like while they bets 0:14:11.640 --> 0:14:12.040 is down. 0:14:12.320 --> 0:14:13.400 Well, the rain is here. 0:14:13.520 --> 0:14:15.079 The rain is gonna be here for a little bit, 0:14:15.080 --> 0:14:18.439 but this game will get underway eventually. Kirsten, we appreciate it. 0:14:18.480 --> 0:14:21.520 Stay dry and we'll talk to you tomorrow from Toronto. 0:14:21.520 --> 0:14:23.160 We'll talk to you after the game as well. There 0:14:23.200 --> 0:14:25.520 she goes Kirsten Watson from Sports in at La. Still 0:14:25.560 --> 0:14:27.840 to come here on Morago Casino Dodgers on deck. We'll 0:14:27.840 --> 0:14:30.080 dive deeper to this pitch match with David Besse goes 0:14:30.080 --> 0:14:32.640 one on one with Justin Robleski. But up next we'll 0:14:32.640 --> 0:14:36.000 hear from the manager Dave Roberts, Dodgers and Nationals from 0:14:36.040 --> 0:14:38.800 Rainy Washington, d C. I'm Tim Katson. This is the 0:14:38.840 --> 0:14:41.520 back to back World Champion Dodgers Audio Network. 0:14:44.120 --> 0:14:50.200 This is Marongo Casino Dodgers on Deck on your home 0:14:50.280 --> 0:14:52.160 for the Blue All Season Law. 0:14:53.240 --> 0:14:57.120 Marogo Casino Dodgers on Deck continues as we lead you 0:14:57.200 --> 0:15:00.480 up to Dodgers and Nationals Marago Casino Resort and Spy 0:15:00.600 --> 0:15:04.080 a Grand Slam for good times. First pitch was scheduled 0:15:04.080 --> 0:15:07.760 for ten thirty five am Pacific, but tarp is on 0:15:07.800 --> 0:15:08.280 the field. 0:15:08.280 --> 0:15:10.320 This game will start in a rain delay. When it 0:15:10.360 --> 0:15:13.080 gets started, we don't know this. 0:15:14.160 --> 0:15:18.000 It's the LA Dodger Injury Report. 0:15:17.720 --> 0:15:20.280 Presented by UCLA Healthy, official medical partner of the Los 0:15:20.320 --> 0:15:23.240 Angeles Dodgers. As we've been talking about, Mookie Betts goes 0:15:23.280 --> 0:15:27.360 to the i L with a right oblique strain. Hayes 0:15:27.480 --> 0:15:30.160 On Kim gets called up from Triple A Oklahoma City. 0:15:30.200 --> 0:15:32.760 He is with the team there in Washington, d C. 0:15:33.440 --> 0:15:37.440 Mookie Betts joins Tommy Edmund Blake, Snell, Brock Stewart, Bruce Dark, 0:15:37.440 --> 0:15:43.080 gredol landon Neck, Gavin Stone, Evan Phillips, and keyk Hernandez 0:15:43.160 --> 0:15:46.160 All on the il Keiky and Gavin Stone on the 0:15:46.240 --> 0:15:49.080 sixty day i L working on their way back from injuries. 0:15:49.360 --> 0:15:51.120 Let's head back out to Washington, DC. 0:15:51.400 --> 0:15:53.280 Maybe we'll get it up date. Let's check in with 0:15:53.280 --> 0:15:53.920 the manager. 0:15:53.720 --> 0:15:55.479 Dave Roberts. 0:15:54.640 --> 0:15:56.320 Any Dave do you think. 0:15:56.760 --> 0:15:57.440 Questions for Dave? 0:15:57.520 --> 0:16:00.560 Dave? Can you just describe Dave? Can you talk about 0:16:00.560 --> 0:16:01.520 the pressure. 0:16:01.960 --> 0:16:04.400 In the dugouts with Dave Roberts? 0:16:05.320 --> 0:16:10.160 I see Miggie and Kim taking down short and leaving 0:16:10.800 --> 0:16:14.800 Freeland at second base, still knowing that he can play short. 0:16:15.160 --> 0:16:16.760 That's kind of having to divvy it up. And then 0:16:16.840 --> 0:16:21.680 we'll see, you know, we've got three starters in Toronto, 0:16:21.840 --> 0:16:26.240 so heysong, we'll play short, againsureser, and then we'll probably 0:16:26.240 --> 0:16:27.200 start two of the three. 0:16:27.880 --> 0:16:31.360 Dave, but MOOKI was just Harry talking to you. What's 0:16:31.400 --> 0:16:33.200 his mood? Where's he at with all this? 0:16:33.800 --> 0:16:38.560 He's actually in better spirits, you know, it's not obviously disappointed, 0:16:38.600 --> 0:16:41.800 but just the way he feels today. And I think 0:16:41.840 --> 0:16:45.360 he's had some dealings with that before and said it's 0:16:45.440 --> 0:16:49.040 better than he recalls past experience. 0:16:49.440 --> 0:16:50.400 So that was encouraging. 0:16:50.640 --> 0:16:53.200 What do you think about as far as you know obliques, 0:16:53.240 --> 0:16:55.600 they're kind of tricky. Do you feel like this could 0:16:55.600 --> 0:16:57.320 be a four to six week situation? 0:16:58.160 --> 0:17:01.280 I would take the under on that but as far 0:17:01.320 --> 0:17:04.800 as putting a timeline, I'm really hesitant right now because 0:17:04.840 --> 0:17:05.520 they are tricky. 0:17:06.400 --> 0:17:09.760 Is it more concerning than just like the back or 0:17:09.880 --> 0:17:12.160 kind of re you surprised that that ended up being 0:17:12.160 --> 0:17:16.520 the diagnosis. 0:17:17.880 --> 0:17:20.840 Yeah, I think early on just kind of trying to 0:17:20.840 --> 0:17:24.320 figure out what initiated, which we didn't know where the 0:17:24.359 --> 0:17:28.840 pain was, didn't really know, so then kind of hearing 0:17:28.840 --> 0:17:32.080 oblique then it kind of gives you a little something 0:17:32.080 --> 0:17:36.240 in your stomach. But talking to Mookie, I felt a 0:17:36.280 --> 0:17:37.639 little bit more reassured today. 0:17:37.920 --> 0:17:40.000 All Right, there's a manager, Dave Roberts. 0:17:40.040 --> 0:17:43.720 He's feeling more optimistic about the injury to Mookie Betts 0:17:43.760 --> 0:17:46.359 as far as length that he'll be out, But certainly 0:17:46.400 --> 0:17:49.240 no update on the rain delay which is currently reigning 0:17:49.280 --> 0:17:50.119 in Washington, d C. 0:17:50.240 --> 0:17:51.800 Will we continue here on wrong because. 0:17:51.600 --> 0:17:53.119 You know Dodgers on Tech, we'll get an update from 0:17:53.200 --> 0:17:56.119 David Vase from the booth as we lead you up 0:17:56.119 --> 0:17:58.920 to Dodgers and Nationals when this game eventually gets underway. 0:17:59.160 --> 0:18:01.919 Tim Katson's to back World Champion Dodgers Audio Network. 0:18:05.320 --> 0:18:10.520 As we were saying, this is Morongo Casino Dodgers ontach 0:18:10.880 --> 0:18:14.119 on the official home of La Dodgers Baseball. 0:18:16.560 --> 0:18:20.439 Dodgers in Washington, Nationals rookie Sisaki will be on the 0:18:20.440 --> 0:18:23.720 mound today when this game eventually gets under away. Currently 0:18:23.840 --> 0:18:26.479 in a rain Dela Dodgers Baseball brought to you by 0:18:26.520 --> 0:18:28.720 El Pto, born in La and made for your game day, 0:18:28.720 --> 0:18:32.600 Alpato bringing authentic Mexican style tomato sauces, sauces and hot 0:18:32.600 --> 0:18:36.720 sauces to your table. El Pato, it is gourmet and 0:18:36.760 --> 0:18:37.120 a can. 0:18:39.080 --> 0:18:41.720 Joining Tim Kats on Dodgers on Tech. 0:18:41.600 --> 0:18:43.400 I accept everybody for who they are. 0:18:43.480 --> 0:18:46.199 This is Dodger Insider David. 0:18:46.920 --> 0:18:49.639 All Right, DV as you sit there at Nationals Park, 0:18:49.840 --> 0:18:51.040 what are we looking at right now? 0:18:51.080 --> 0:18:51.600 As far as the. 0:18:51.600 --> 0:18:56.680 Weather, Yeah, I'm actually standing Tim. 0:18:55.640 --> 0:18:57.840 As you're standing at Nationals Park, David. 0:18:57.640 --> 0:18:58.679 What does the weather look like? 0:19:00.080 --> 0:19:02.560 Yeah, it's not looking good the rain, and right now 0:19:02.600 --> 0:19:05.760 the ground screw is squeegen the water off the tarp 0:19:05.880 --> 0:19:09.000 and look. Talking to some of the ground screw members 0:19:09.080 --> 0:19:11.520 yesterday during the ninth inning, they kind of gave me 0:19:11.600 --> 0:19:14.920 some fair warning that don't expect that this game will 0:19:14.920 --> 0:19:18.879 be played before three thirty Eastern times. So they know 0:19:19.320 --> 0:19:22.080 and have been through this many times before. There are 0:19:22.119 --> 0:19:25.600 some fans on the concourse. So we're just waiting on 0:19:25.640 --> 0:19:28.400 this easter Sunday to play some ball, all. 0:19:28.359 --> 0:19:30.440 Right, David, the big news Mookie Betts and the Old 0:19:30.560 --> 0:19:34.359 League going on the injured list. Dave Roberts kind of said, 0:19:34.359 --> 0:19:37.000 take the under as far as the injury and coming 0:19:37.040 --> 0:19:38.919 off the iel is concerned lengthwise. 0:19:39.200 --> 0:19:39.760 What are you hearing? 0:19:41.080 --> 0:19:43.200 Yeah, Well, he also said he didn't want to put 0:19:43.240 --> 0:19:46.840 a timeline on it, and I think that's a better 0:19:46.960 --> 0:19:50.560 fair assessment. I don't think Daves has a great track 0:19:50.600 --> 0:19:53.840 record of predicting injury timeline, So let's just go with 0:19:53.920 --> 0:19:57.320 no timeline. But an oblique injury serious. You know, when 0:19:57.359 --> 0:20:00.240 you go through all that, that's gonna be some thing 0:20:00.280 --> 0:20:02.879 to keep an eye on. And it's just interesting that 0:20:02.920 --> 0:20:06.119
