They're under five hundred 0:05:05.600 --> 0:05:08.239 for the first time since April the eighth. They've lost 0:05:08.320 --> 0:05:11.600 seven in a row. And last night when Jade Cronerworth 0:05:11.680 --> 0:05:13.960 made that error in the bottom of the seventh, you 0:05:14.040 --> 0:05:16.400 knew something bad was going to happen to them and 0:05:16.520 --> 0:05:19.800 something good for the Dodgers.

They're 0:05:24.640 --> 0:05:27.960 twenty seventh, come from behind victory and they did it 0:05:28.000 --> 0:05:30.240 in find fashion. And you start to just flip back 0:05:30.440 --> 0:05:33.119 a couple of months ago, on the twelfth of May, 0:05:33.279 --> 0:05:35.960 it was the sandingg of Andres who led the Western 0:05:35.960 --> 0:05:39.520 Division of nash League exactly one half game in front 0:05:39.560 --> 0:05:41.040 of the Dodgers in that West. 0:05:41.080 --> 0:05:42.800 But that was then. This is now. 0:05:43.200 --> 0:05:45.880 If the Dodgers fifty eight and thirty one, they continue 0:05:45.920 --> 0:05:49.080 to roll along, they are twenty eight and fourteen. 0:05:49.160 --> 0:05:49.760 As you mentioned. 0:05:49.800 --> 0:05:52.880 For San Diego, they now dropped below the five hundred 0:05:52.960 --> 0:05:55.240 mark of the season, and they're trying to avoid their 0:05:55.279 --> 0:05:57.080 eighth consecutive loss. 0:05:56.920 --> 0:05:59.520 Since the eighteenth of May. As you pointed out, the 0:06:00.520 --> 0:06:03.600 half a game behind. Since then, they went twenty nine 0:06:03.680 --> 0:06:06.320 and twelve coming into the game today on the fourth 0:06:06.360 --> 0:06:08.920 at July, weill San Diego's got the worst record in 0:06:08.960 --> 0:06:12.760 baseball since then fourteen and twenty six. You know, there 0:06:12.800 --> 0:06:15.719 are no other teams in the National League West over 0:06:15.760 --> 0:06:19.159 five hundreds except for the Dodgers. Yeah, the Dodgers have 0:06:19.240 --> 0:06:22.360 done it in all facets really of the game.

Then he was pinched it for by 0:06:35.480 --> 0:06:38.839 Miguel Rojas. But for Otani, he went five innings. He 0:06:38.960 --> 0:06:39.760 really labored. 0:06:39.800 --> 0:06:42.239 It was one hundred and ten pitches and that's really 0:06:42.320 --> 0:06:42.960 unlike show. 0:06:43.000 --> 0:06:43.200 Hey. 0:06:43.240 --> 0:06:45.800 Otani says, it did not really affect his pitching, but 0:06:46.160 --> 0:06:48.400 that's something the Dodgers are going to be watching very 0:06:48.400 --> 0:06:50.760 closely in how they handle it right bicep. 0:06:50.960 --> 0:06:52.360 He's also got the knee issue. 0:06:52.360 --> 0:06:53.080 That's what happens. 0:06:53.080 --> 0:06:55.680 You work pretty near every day every day. 0:06:55.760 --> 0:06:59.520 Yeah, and the skill level is off the charts.

The defensive 0:10:33.840 --> 0:10:36.640 work that he's not only continued to elevate his game, 0:10:36.840 --> 0:10:39.120 but then we've been seeing just the consistency he's been 0:10:39.120 --> 0:10:41.200 having at the plate. The numbers are out of this 0:10:41.280 --> 0:10:44.840 world and he's now stepped into batting second in the order, 0:10:44.920 --> 0:10:47.280 and so he feels really good heading into this game. 0:10:47.320 --> 0:10:49.120 And then you've got Max Munsey. The big thing with 0:10:49.200 --> 0:10:51.680 him is getting him to be named as a starter. 0:10:52.559 --> 0:10:54.839 So it's really exciting for him. It's been the He's 0:10:54.880 --> 0:10:57.920 the first Dodger a third baseman since what Ron say. 0:10:58.040 --> 0:11:00.679 So we're gonna see so many Dodgers in the All 0:11:00.720 --> 0:11:02.600 Star Games. So it's going to be a very exciting time. 0:11:02.600 --> 0:11:04.839 And we know that yes for Showhy not in the 0:11:04.880 --> 0:11:07.320 lineup tonight, but just the fact that he's going to 0:11:07.360 --> 0:11:10.280 be out there in Philly. No decision on if he's 0:11:10.280 --> 0:11:12.760 going to be pitching, but at least hopefully as a dh. 0:11:12.559 --> 0:11:14.600 Which would be really special for the fans to experience. 0:11:14.920 --> 0:11:17.439 Dodg has made a roster move a couple of hours ago, 0:11:17.520 --> 0:11:20.480 an interesting one, and that involves a catcher position. 0:11:20.880 --> 0:11:21.640 Yes it does. 0:11:21.720 --> 0:11:25.640 So Eliezer Alfonso Junior has been activated. And you know, 0:11:25.760 --> 0:11:28.080 Dave Roberts was sharing today that the decision came down 0:11:28.120 --> 0:11:30.920 to a few things. You know, with Will Smith, he's 0:11:30.920 --> 0:11:33.280 still taking a little bit more time and longer than 0:11:33.480 --> 0:11:35.560 they honestly expected with him being on the il with 0:11:35.600 --> 0:11:38.560 that neck inflammation. As much as he has resumed to 0:11:38.559 --> 0:11:40.400 base activity, he's been playing catch. 0:11:40.720 --> 0:11:42.600 He took some swings in the cage the other day, 0:11:42.880 --> 0:11:44.400 so he is feeling better, but. 0:11:44.360 --> 0:11:46.760 He's not in a position in which he is either 0:11:46.840 --> 0:11:48.959 game ready, ready to go out on a rehab assignment, 0:11:49.040 --> 0:11:50.720 and ready to really push his body. 0:11:50.800 --> 0:11:52.360 So as much as he's. 0:11:52.200 --> 0:11:55.440 Still kind of in this holding period, the good news 0:11:55.480 --> 0:11:57.880 is that he is starting to progress in the right direction. 0:11:58.000 --> 0:12:00.240 But it's been made very clear that he's not going 0:12:00.280 --> 0:12:00.400 to be. 0:12:00.400 --> 0:12:01.960 Available before the All Star break. 0:12:02.000 --> 0:12:04.280 He's going to need to rehab assignment, so it's going 0:12:04.360 --> 0:12:05.800 to take time for him to get back. 0:12:05.840 --> 0:12:07.959 So it does create opportunity. 0:12:07.640 --> 0:12:10.439 For Elie Sir to have some big league time. He'll 0:12:10.480 --> 0:12:12.440 be making his major league debut, he'll be in the 0:12:12.480 --> 0:12:15.800 lineup tomorrow, an opportunity just to kind of get some 0:12:15.880 --> 0:12:17.360 reps up here in a little bit. 0:12:17.240 --> 0:12:17.920 Of a runway. 0:12:17.960 --> 0:12:21.080 So it'll still be Dalton as the leading catcher while 0:12:21.080 --> 0:12:24.080 Will is down, but it creates opportunity for Elliott Aser 0:12:24.160 --> 0:12:25.680 to get this experience as well. 0:12:25.720 --> 0:12:27.880 All right, most important question, what's your favorite thing about 0:12:27.880 --> 0:12:28.480 fourth of July. 0:12:28.600 --> 0:12:29.640 Is it the fireworks? 0:12:29.720 --> 0:12:32.319 Is it the barbecue, the food, the hot dogs and 0:12:32.400 --> 0:12:34.559 hamburgers to celebrate America? 0:12:34.600 --> 0:12:37.000 What is it that you like most about the Force? 0:12:37.160 --> 0:12:39.280 Honestly, it's one of my favorite days.
