We got your 0:01:23.080 --> 0:01:27.319 Dodgers magical moment. Shortly we'll visit with Kirsten Watson from 0:01:27.520 --> 0:01:30.119 Sports and at LA and in just a few minutes 0:01:30.160 --> 0:01:33.720 we will head over to Charlie Steiner and Rick Monday 0:01:34.000 --> 0:01:37.479 in the Galloping Ford Broadcast booth. Well, yesterday, the Dodgers 0:01:37.840 --> 0:01:41.440 ran into an Elder statesman literally as the Braves beat 0:01:41.440 --> 0:01:44.520 the Blue. Bryce Elder, the young right hander for the Braves, 0:01:44.560 --> 0:01:48.240 limited the Dodgers offense five and a third shutout innings. 0:01:48.520 --> 0:01:51.360 He struck out eight along the way while giving him 0:01:51.440 --> 0:01:52.360 just one hit. 0:01:52.880 --> 0:01:55.360 The Dodgers just didn't have a lot of traffic on 0:01:55.400 --> 0:01:59.000 the basis yesterday against Elder, despite a couple of walks. Meanwhile, 0:01:59.200 --> 0:02:01.920 justin Robuski, he was in and out of trouble. In 0:02:02.000 --> 0:02:04.559 the second the Braves got after him, White and RBI 0:02:04.680 --> 0:02:07.400 single got Atlanta on the board one to nothing. Next batter, 0:02:07.480 --> 0:02:11.160 Sean Murphy had a comebacker to Robleski. However, instead of 0:02:11.200 --> 0:02:13.600 a four to six or one six to three double 0:02:13.680 --> 0:02:17.359 play to get out of the inning, Robleski's throat was high. 0:02:17.720 --> 0:02:20.480 He only got the force out at second. Robleski then 0:02:20.520 --> 0:02:24.280 walks the next batter. Bases loaded for Mauricio Duban. 0:02:24.680 --> 0:02:26.040 Braves with a one nothing lead. 0:02:26.080 --> 0:02:28.120 One one pitch to Dubal and that smack past the 0:02:28.240 --> 0:02:32.120 diving Muncieing down the third baseline, Harris comes into score. 0:02:32.160 --> 0:02:36.959 Here comes White behind him, and they're gonna wave home Matteo. 0:02:39.160 --> 0:02:42.200 It's a basis clearing double and the Braves lead it 0:02:42.280 --> 0:02:42.919 for nothing. 0:02:43.560 --> 0:02:46.400 Basis clearing double for the Braves, shorts off Atlanta with 0:02:46.560 --> 0:02:49.720 four run to the top of the second. Robleski would 0:02:49.760 --> 0:02:52.680 settle in, though navigate his way to the eighth when 0:02:52.800 --> 0:02:55.519 Drake Baldwin took him deep for a solo home run. 0:02:55.560 --> 0:02:57.960 Braves of five to nothing mean while the Dodgers offense 0:02:58.200 --> 0:03:01.520 couldn't muster anything until the sixth, and finally they got 0:03:01.520 --> 0:03:04.480 something going. They loaded the bases but could not score. 0:03:04.600 --> 0:03:07.360 The seventh, they had runners on first and second and 0:03:07.600 --> 0:03:10.160 could not score. But in the bottom of the eighth inning, 0:03:10.440 --> 0:03:13.280 the Dodgers finally burst through. They got on the board 0:03:13.280 --> 0:03:14.400 thanks to Max Monsey. 0:03:15.080 --> 0:03:15.799 Here's the pitch. 0:03:15.840 --> 0:03:20.359 Two Monthly Wins hits a drive deep right field, way back, 0:03:20.440 --> 0:03:24.400 it goes, it is gone, a two run homer for 0:03:24.680 --> 0:03:26.880 Max Mounsey and it's five to two. 0:03:29.800 --> 0:03:32.320 Well, he didn't wait a round. He's got a slider 0:03:33.040 --> 0:03:34.920 right over the middle of the plate and he crushed 0:03:34.960 --> 0:03:36.760 bit for his tenh home run of the season. 0:03:37.880 --> 0:03:39.800 Two run home run for Monthsy. 0:03:40.440 --> 0:03:42.560 That's the top tier play of the game, brought to 0:03:42.600 --> 0:03:45.320 you by Arco Quality, top tier gas for less. Dodgers 0:03:45.360 --> 0:03:48.480 down five to two, they'd get In fact, the Braves. 0:03:48.160 --> 0:03:50.520 Would take more in the ninth battles. 0:03:50.600 --> 0:03:52.640 The solo home run than an RBI single from the 0:03:52.640 --> 0:03:54.960 Braves made it seven to two. Braves go on and 0:03:55.000 --> 0:03:57.560 win it by that same final score. Bryce Elder gets 0:03:57.600 --> 0:04:00.880 to win Justin. Robleski pitched well win eight and two 0:04:01.000 --> 0:04:03.800 third innings, gave up seven runs though in the lost. 0:04:04.080 --> 0:04:06.400 Dodgers dropped two of three to Atlanta over the weekend. 0:04:06.440 --> 0:04:09.200 They fall to twenty four and sixteen on this season. 0:04:09.200 --> 0:04:11.200 They fall into a first place tie with the Padres 0:04:11.400 --> 0:04:14.680 atop the NL West. Tonight, a new day, a new 0:04:14.760 --> 0:04:18.080 series as the San Francisco Giants are in town. Roki 0:04:18.279 --> 0:04:22.200 Sisaki on the mound, Mookie Betts back off the injured list. 0:04:22.240 --> 0:04:24.120 Dodgers feeling good going into this series. 0:04:24.279 --> 0:04:24.880 First pitch is. 0:04:24.880 --> 0:04:26.600 Seven to ten and with more we head over to 0:04:26.640 --> 0:04:29.240 the galloping Ford broadcast booth as we welcome in Charlie 0:04:29.240 --> 0:04:30.680 Steiner and Rick Monday. 0:04:30.720 --> 0:04:31.560 Guys. 0:04:32.040 --> 0:04:34.600 All right, Tim, we're at the quarter pole of the season. 0:04:35.160 --> 0:04:38.680 Dodgers at twenty four and sixteen todds, first place with 0:04:38.760 --> 0:04:42.359 the Padres padres idle. Tonight they begin a series in 0:04:42.480 --> 0:04:46.000 Milwaukee tomorrow. Yeah, the Dodgers, since they're fifteen and four 0:04:46.080 --> 0:04:49.560 start mow, have gone nine of twelve. They've scored three 0:04:49.640 --> 0:04:52.800 runs or fewer in twelve of those twenty one games. 0:04:52.880 --> 0:04:55.600 The case of the missing offense against the Giant team 0:04:55.640 --> 0:04:57.120 that has no offense at all. 0:04:57.200 --> 0:04:59.640 Yeah, the Giants come in the third worst record of 0:04:59.720 --> 0:05:01.520 Major Baseball, and if you look at the last three 0:05:01.560 --> 0:05:04.520 games played against the Atlanta Brings, the Dodgers had a 0:05:04.600 --> 0:05:07.120 total of just seven runs, only thirteen hits in that 0:05:07.160 --> 0:05:10.080 period of time. That's got to turn around. And they 0:05:10.080 --> 0:05:12.400 had been struggling try and get on base the bullpen 0:05:12.480 --> 0:05:15.400 has been terrific, the starting pitching has been here and there, 0:05:15.680 --> 0:05:17.960 and hopefully they're going to get a good performance tonight 0:05:17.960 --> 0:05:21.480 by Roki Sasaki, who will start for the Dodgers in 0:05:21.520 --> 0:05:23.880 Game one of the series against the Giants. Bit runs 0:05:23.960 --> 0:05:26.160 have been problematic as far as on the board for 0:05:26.200 --> 0:05:27.120 this Dodger bunk club. 0:05:27.279 --> 0:05:29.760 Oh, the Dodgers, at least looking at the schedule, have 0:05:29.920 --> 0:05:32.600 four with the Giants and then three down in Anaheim. 0:05:32.680 --> 0:05:35.720 So you've got seven games against two teams that are 0:05:35.880 --> 0:05:40.000 bad San Francisco sixteen and twenty four, the Angels sixteen 0:05:40.040 --> 0:05:43.320 and twenty five, and so the competitions for the Dodgers 0:05:43.440 --> 0:05:46.320 over the next week, it's a combined record of thirty 0:05:46.360 --> 0:05:48.200 two and forty nine tied to fatten up. 0:05:48.279 --> 0:05:51.520 Yeah, at least on paper, that's true. And how well 0:05:51.640 --> 0:05:53.800 the of the Giants hit tonight we were going to 0:05:53.800 --> 0:05:56.200 find out. But they've been on the losing ledger nine 0:05:56.279 --> 0:05:57.920 or the last twelve. If you look at what they've 0:05:57.920 --> 0:06:00.000 done on the road, they've dropped seven in a row 0:06:00.680 --> 0:06:03.240 into the lost column. When they've been on the road itself, 0:06:03.279 --> 0:06:05.040 they had not scored a lot of runs on the 0:06:05.120 --> 0:06:08.000 road at recent times as well. But one thing about it, 0:06:08.120 --> 0:06:10.240 when you come again to play the back to back 0:06:10.279 --> 0:06:14.760 world champion Dodgers, the world champions to begin with, regardless 0:06:14.800 --> 0:06:16.640 of the team, you're going to be up for it. 0:06:16.760 --> 0:06:19.839 And these two organizations have a long history of playing 0:06:19.880 --> 0:06:20.680 against one another. 0:06:20.839 --> 0:06:24.360 Yes, indeed, and the Dodgers big story tonight as they 0:06:24.400 --> 0:06:27.200 begin playing four game series with the Giants. 0:06:27.240 --> 0:06:29.000 The return of Mookie Betts. 0:06:29.320 --> 0:06:31.200 Yeah, and it's going to be nice to have Bookie. 0:06:31.279 --> 0:06:34.119 He'll be at shortstop and batting in the number two spot. 0:06:34.240 --> 0:06:37.719 Last play in April fourth and he was a couple 0:06:37.760 --> 0:06:41.120 of home run seven RBIs before the oblique put him 0:06:41.200 --> 0:06:42.320 on the injured list. 0:06:42.360 --> 0:06:43.000 He came back. 0:06:43.160 --> 0:06:46.560 Just watching him work out early this afternoon appeared to 0:06:46.600 --> 0:06:48.920 be just fine. We're going to find out may take 0:06:48.960 --> 0:06:50.520 him a couple of days to kind of get back 0:06:50.520 --> 0:06:53.080 into it.

We'll have a lot 0:07:14.880 --> 0:07:17.320 more to go between now and the very first pitch. 0:07:17.520 --> 0:07:19.840 Dem all right, thank you, Charlie's been culling you down 0:07:19.880 --> 0:07:22.160 to first pitch.

Showy Otani 0:08:34.800 --> 0:08:37.520 slumping a little bit right now? How much so well? 0:08:37.840 --> 0:08:41.000 Showey Otani doesn't very often take bounding practice on the field. 0:08:41.600 --> 0:08:44.320 Forty five minutes ago, he took four rounds of each 0:08:44.400 --> 0:08:46.680 beat here at Dodger Stadium, put on a show for 0:08:46.760 --> 0:08:48.720 the Dodger Stadium crowd. 0:08:48.760 --> 0:08:52.640 This is Kirston's corner with Kirston Watson. 0:08:53.160 --> 0:08:54.839 Hey, Kirston now joins us hit We're brought to you 0:08:54.920 --> 0:08:56.840 my Cars for Kids, the easiest way to get rid 0:08:56.840 --> 0:08:58.520 of your old car.

But the right guy back in the lineup, 0:09:13.520 --> 0:09:14.679 Mookie Bets is back. 0:09:14.800 --> 0:09:17.360 He is back, and he brings you know, he's a 0:09:17.360 --> 0:09:19.560 superstar in his own right, and so naturally he's going 0:09:19.559 --> 0:09:21.160 to bring a spark. But when this team, in this 0:09:21.280 --> 0:09:23.960 offense is looking to really get go right now, you 0:09:24.040 --> 0:09:26.840 have to take into consideration with his return. This is 0:09:26.880 --> 0:09:29.040 the first time the team is back to full strength 0:09:29.160 --> 0:09:31.520 since the at the beginning of the regular season. The 0:09:31.600 --> 0:09:34.480 last game he played in was Game eight. So for 0:09:34.640 --> 0:09:36.920 his return, yes, they are going to be very mindful 0:09:36.960 --> 0:09:39.200 that he's coming off that right oblique strain. While Lukey 0:09:39.280 --> 0:09:41.520 says that he is in an excellent position and he 0:09:41.600 --> 0:09:44.000 feels like he checked off every box and it's a 0:09:44.120 --> 0:09:46.559 muscular injury, so it takes a little bit more time. 0:09:46.640 --> 0:09:50.640 He needed the four weeks plus honestly to make that return, 0:09:50.800 --> 0:09:53.319 but he feels good. But Dave Roberts has been clear that, 0:09:53.559 --> 0:09:56.720 especially in these first two series, he's gonna play these 0:09:56.760 --> 0:09:59.240 first two then be off on Wednesday. Migie will step 0:09:59.280 --> 0:10:01.920 in at short and then he's going to play Game 0:10:01.960 --> 0:10:03.679 four of this series, but then if you look at 0:10:03.679 --> 0:10:06.520 the next one, he'll likely only do two of three. 0:10:05.880 --> 0:10:09.160 To continue to manage that especially early. 0:10:09.520 --> 0:10:11.520 Dodgers had to make a decision with the roster too, 0:10:11.559 --> 0:10:14.000 with Mookie Betts coming off the injury list, somebody had 0:10:14.000 --> 0:10:16.120 to go back to Triple A Oklahoma City, and that 0:10:16.200 --> 0:10:16.960 was Alex Freeland. 0:10:17.160 --> 0:10:20.400 It was, and Dave's shared he was very honest with 0:10:20.480 --> 0:10:23.280 us that he was a challenging conversation. Alex Freeland has 0:10:23.320 --> 0:10:25.640 worked very hard. We obviously know he was the guy 0:10:25.679 --> 0:10:29.640 who broke camp with this team and won the opportunity 0:10:29.640 --> 0:10:32.680 and the position coming out of spring training. But ultimately 0:10:32.800 --> 0:10:35.400 Hessong has been the better performer as of late. The 0:10:35.520 --> 0:10:38.560 numbers show that, and he's playing at second this evening. 0:10:38.640 --> 0:10:40.800 He is going to step in and get some runway there. 0:10:41.120 --> 0:10:43.480 Dave did say that they are likely going to stick 0:10:43.520 --> 0:10:45.480 with the platoon that we saw for him between him 0:10:45.480 --> 0:10:47.760 and Miggi when they were playing at short, but as 0:10:47.800 --> 0:10:51.240 they're easing Mookie Betts back in, Miggy will primarily be 0:10:51.280 --> 0:10:54.160 supporting Mooki, allowing for Hassong just to kind of get 0:10:54.200 --> 0:10:54.720 that runway. 0:10:54.920 --> 0:10:57.520 Looking at this Dodgers lineup, they struggled in two of 0:10:57.520 --> 0:11:00.960 the three games against the Atlanta Braves. Joie can influx 0:11:01.200 --> 0:11:04.000 a little bit of life, I guess into this offense. 0:11:04.280 --> 0:11:07.360 It's dead so much that we saw showy Otani out here. 0:11:07.360 --> 0:11:09.680 Taking VP and this is the second time within a week. 0:11:09.800 --> 0:11:12.600 I mean, we know that whenever he takes batting practice 0:11:12.640 --> 0:11:14.319 that means he's working through something. 0:11:14.440 --> 0:11:16.440 We saw it in Houston today. 0:11:16.480 --> 0:11:19.320 He took four rounds a VP, which feels like a 0:11:19.360 --> 0:11:21.719 lot if I'm being honest, I think as we saw 0:11:21.800 --> 0:11:24.200 kind of the back end of the work, we saw 0:11:24.200 --> 0:11:27.520 some more consistent home run, some more hard contact and power. 0:11:28.040 --> 0:11:30.760 But it is clear, like even we noticed that when 0:11:30.760 --> 0:11:33.559 he started in that first round his batting position he 0:11:33.640 --> 0:11:35.959 had it rested, his bat resting on his shoulder, on 0:11:36.040 --> 0:11:38.880 his back shoulder, and that was something we had never 0:11:39.200 --> 0:11:41.400 And I say week because I'm with Oral Herscheizer and 0:11:41.440 --> 0:11:44.400 our statistician Rick Krajewski and we're all watching and we 0:11:44.440 --> 0:11:46.440 were like, we've never seen him hold the bat like that. 0:11:46.640 --> 0:11:49.800 So it's clear that he's looking to work through kind 0:11:49.840 --> 0:11:51.800 of getting his feel. The last time he was working 0:11:51.800 --> 0:11:54.439 on more of his upper half. In regard to how 0:11:54.440 --> 0:11:59.040 he's positioning himself. So hopefully he found something and hopefully 0:11:59.080 --> 0:12:00.000 we'll see it play out tonight. 0:12:00.320 --> 0:12:02.120 Let's hope he gets back on track tonight. It's been 0:12:02.120 --> 0:12:04.960 a long time since we can show aotani go deep 0:12:04.960 --> 0:12:05.760 here at Dodgers. 0:12:05.559 --> 0:12:06.360 Dam and thank you curious and well. 0:12:06.440 --> 0:12:07.600 Check in with you after the game still to come 0:12:07.640 --> 0:12:09.920 here on Marongo Casino Dodgers on Deck.

But up next we'll get. 0:12:14.080 --> 0:12:15.240 You an injury report. 0:12:15.440 --> 0:12:18.440 It's the Dodgers and the Giants on this Monday night, 0:12:18.480 --> 0:12:20.480 first pitch at seven ten.

It's the Dodgers and the Giants, the first 0:12:48.240 --> 0:12:52.280 of four Rookie Sasaki and Trevor McDonald the pitching matchup 0:12:52.280 --> 0:12:52.840 in the series. 0:12:52.880 --> 0:12:55.200 Opener, first pitch, set, first seven ten. 0:12:56.920 --> 0:13:00.240 It's the LA Dodgers Injury. 0:13:00.640 --> 0:13:04.320 Presented by UCLA Healthy Official Medical partner of the Los 0:13:04.320 --> 0:13:07.480 Angeles Dodgers. Tyler Glass now on the IL with the 0:13:07.520 --> 0:13:11.080 lower back spasms. Brock Stewart back on the injured list 0:13:11.400 --> 0:13:14.360 with the left bone spur Edwin Diaz on the IL 0:13:14.400 --> 0:13:17.720 recovering from elbow surgery. He helps me back sometime after 0:13:17.760 --> 0:13:20.280 the All Star break. Ben Casparius on the IL with 0:13:20.400 --> 0:13:23.960 the right shoulder inflammation. Mookie Betts back off the IL. 0:13:24.000 --> 0:13:25.160 That is certainly good news. 0:13:25.360 --> 0:13:28.240 Tommy Edmonds saw him taking some batting practice earlier today, 0:13:28.440 --> 0:13:30.680 doing some throwing in long distance. He is doing a 0:13:30.679 --> 0:13:33.760 lot of baseball activities, but currently on the sixty day 0:13:33.840 --> 0:13:36.840 IL as he makes his way back from off season 0:13:36.920 --> 0:13:40.240 ankle surgery. Bruce dark gratterols in Triple A Oklahoma City 0:13:40.400 --> 0:13:43.440 on a minor league rehabit. Simon Keiky Hernandez in Triple 0:13:43.480 --> 0:13:44.199 A as well. 0:13:44.400 --> 0:13:46.880 He's due off the IL late in this month. 0:13:47.160 --> 0:13:50.760 Landing that Gavin Stone Evan Phillips all working their way 0:13:50.800 --> 0:13:55.439 back from arm injuries. All right, we headed back downstairs. 0:13:55.440 --> 0:13:59.520 As yesterday. Max Munsey provided the only offense for the Dodgers, 0:13:59.520 --> 0:14:02.800 and I've been to two loss to the Atlanta Braves. 0:14:02.920 --> 0:14:05.040 Dodgers dropped two or three over the weekend. 0:14:05.080 --> 0:14:08.120 Max Bunci almost hit a Grand Slam yesterday, would have 0:14:08.120 --> 0:14:10.520 made things interesting in the late in the game, but 0:14:10.720 --> 0:14:12.880 ended up hitting a two run home running afterwards, talked 0:14:12.880 --> 0:14:13.560 about the loss. 0:14:13.720 --> 0:14:15.240 Yeah, I just think it's a rough stretch for us. 0:14:16.440 --> 0:14:18.839 You know, obviously we're are facing tough pitching and they're 0:14:18.840 --> 0:14:21.440 making pitches. But I think for us as a group, 0:14:21.440 --> 0:14:23.000 we're just going through a rough stretch. 0:14:23.000 --> 0:14:24.160 And you know, that's part of baseball. 0:14:24.200 --> 0:14:26.480 And you know, we had some guys hitting balls hard, 0:14:26.520 --> 0:14:28.640 and we had some guys hitting the balls often, none 0:14:28.640 --> 0:14:29.400 of them team fall. 0:14:30.760 --> 0:14:32.520 That's just kind of how the game goes sometimes. Is 0:14:32.520 --> 0:14:33.240 that what it felt like? 0:14:33.320 --> 0:14:35.400 Just in that at that before the home run with 0:14:35.440 --> 0:14:37.280 the line out to right field, does it seem like 0:14:37.560 --> 0:14:39.360 it felt like that moment was going to be yours? 0:14:39.640 --> 0:14:42.320 I mean, I kind of felt that way all weekend, 0:14:42.320 --> 0:14:44.200 with the exception of Sale, which I'm not supposed to 0:14:44.200 --> 0:14:47.520 feel that way off him. I mean, and I hit 0:14:47.600 --> 0:14:49.520 what four or five balls one hundred and five or harder, 0:14:49.520 --> 0:14:51.440 and none of them were hits so it's just it's 0:14:51.480 --> 0:14:53.640 just how baseball goes. It's it's a really tough sport 0:14:53.680 --> 0:14:56.560 and you know, you can square a ball up and 0:14:56.600 --> 0:14:58.560 you can go right at somebody. It's just just part 0:14:58.560 --> 0:15:01.440 of it, just for the offense where doesn't feel like 0:15:01.480 --> 0:15:03.720 it's like one cohesive you what do you think of 0:15:03.800 --> 0:15:04.400 plays into that? 0:15:04.480 --> 0:15:05.720 Is that sort of approach. 0:15:05.440 --> 0:15:07.720 Things that just sort of guys filing out their swings 0:15:07.800 --> 0:15:08.840 or what kind of leads to that. 0:15:10.240 --> 0:15:14.600 Yes, No, I mean I think we have some guys 0:15:14.600 --> 0:15:16.600 that aren't in the spot that they want to be 0:15:16.640 --> 0:15:18.240 in right now, and they're trying to figure that out. 0:15:18.400 --> 0:15:21.960 And uh, you know, it's kind of tough to compete 0:15:21.960 --> 0:15:23.160 when you're trying to figure things out. 0:15:23.200 --> 0:15:24.440 And you know. 0:15:24.400 --> 0:15:27.120 We've we've preached that in the past sometimes that you 0:15:27.160 --> 0:15:29.000 got to just forget about everything you're doing off the 0:15:29.000 --> 0:15:30.400 field and when you get in the batter's box you 0:15:30.480 --> 0:15:33.120 just have to compete. And you know, that's probably something 0:15:33.160 --> 0:15:34.720 we're gonna harp on a little bit again right now 0:15:34.760 --> 0:15:36.640 because there are a lot of guys trying to just 0:15:36.760 --> 0:15:38.760 find some mechanics and it's it's hard to hit when 0:15:38.760 --> 0:15:39.160 you're doing that. 0:15:39.720 --> 0:15:42.000 All right, There's Max a bunch, So yeah, frustrating for 0:15:42.040 --> 0:15:45.560 all the Dodger hitters with the offense collectively not clicking 0:15:45.640 --> 0:15:48.200 right now, but you know, one, two, three, all of 0:15:48.240 --> 0:15:50.080 a sudden, these guys are going to turn things around, 0:15:50.200 --> 0:15:52.600 maybe all at once, and look out when these guys 0:15:52.600 --> 0:15:54.760 get back on track. Well, we continue here on Wrongo 0:15:54.760 --> 0:15:56.680 Continio do Wrongo Casino. 0:15:56.360 --> 0:15:58.840 Dodgers on Deck. We will check in with David Vassa. 0:15:59.000 --> 0:16:00.960 That's right as we lead j up to first pitch 0:16:01.280 --> 0:16:04.600 Dodgers and Giants from Uniclo Field to Dodger Stadium.

He'll be starting at short stop and hitting second. 0:17:01.480 --> 0:17:04.560 We had a chance to catch up with Mookie earlier 0:17:04.600 --> 0:17:07.200 today and the Dodger dug out at about three o'clock 0:17:07.240 --> 0:17:09.960 this afternoon. Here's some of the things that we talked 0:17:09.960 --> 0:17:13.000 about Mookie in Toronto. You thought this wouldn't keep you 0:17:13.040 --> 0:17:15.199 out as long as it did. Did you ever have 0:17:15.320 --> 0:17:18.879 any setbacks trying to push it? Was that part of 0:17:18.920 --> 0:17:21.800 the reason why this took longer than you originally anticipated. 0:17:22.400 --> 0:17:23.040 No, I just. 0:17:24.760 --> 0:17:27.399 Didn't really realize how long it takes to for it 0:17:27.440 --> 0:17:28.080 to really heal. 0:17:28.880 --> 0:17:29.080 You know. 0:17:29.119 --> 0:17:33.240 I felt pretty good, pretty fast, actually, but just some 0:17:33.280 --> 0:17:36.879 of the movements that I couldn't do, just the it 0:17:37.040 --> 0:17:39.959 kind of just lingered for a long time, and I 0:17:40.000 --> 0:17:42.800 was trying to hurry. But obviously doctors are like it. 0:17:42.800 --> 0:17:45.040 It just takes a month for it to just heal, 0:17:45.240 --> 0:17:48.240 and then you have to do all your prep to 0:17:48.359 --> 0:17:51.680 to get back to playing, So you can't really rush 0:17:51.800 --> 0:17:52.560 rush time. 0:17:52.640 --> 0:17:54.520 When you look at the team and the offense the 0:17:54.600 --> 0:17:57.840 last three weeks. When you come back in a situation 0:17:58.040 --> 0:17:59.840 like this after not playing for a month, do you 0:17:59.840 --> 0:18:02.320 have to fight against trying to do too much and 0:18:02.440 --> 0:18:04.399 you know, trying to be the hero to save things. 0:18:05.400 --> 0:18:07.480 No, because I know I'm not the hero. 0:18:08.160 --> 0:18:09.640
