<v Speaker 5>The ceremony in upstate New York.

<v Speaker 2>And there's a great ceremony and tribute and display set

0:01:42.200 --> 0:01:45.119
<v Speaker 2>up at the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown for Rick

0:01:45.200 --> 0:01:47.880
<v Speaker 2>Monday because this is the fifty year anniversary when he

0:01:47.960 --> 0:01:51.040
<v Speaker 2>came in and swooped up that American flag and left

0:01:51.040 --> 0:01:53.920
<v Speaker 2>field as a member of the Chicago Cubs at Dodgers

0:01:53.960 --> 0:01:56.960
<v Speaker 2>Stadium when those two animals were on the field trying

0:01:56.960 --> 0:01:59.160
<v Speaker 2>to light and burn the American flag and Rick went

0:01:59.160 --> 0:02:01.840
<v Speaker 2>in and saved it. So a great tribute and display

0:02:01.920 --> 0:02:03.360
<v Speaker 2>there at the Hall of Fame, and Rick is there

0:02:03.400 --> 0:02:05.760
<v Speaker 2>this weekend for that. Tol here from Rick Monday, but

0:02:05.800 --> 0:02:07.600
<v Speaker 2>we also here from you at eight sixty six, nine,

0:02:07.680 --> 0:02:09.600
<v Speaker 2>eight to seven two five seventy. A lot to get

0:02:09.639 --> 0:02:12.200
<v Speaker 2>to and a lot to digest from this road trip,

0:02:12.280 --> 0:02:15.640
<v Speaker 2>which again when you look at the whole nine games

0:02:15.720 --> 0:02:18.280
<v Speaker 2>and what the Dodgers were able to do. A complete

0:02:18.280 --> 0:02:20.959
<v Speaker 2>game from Yamamoto against the Yankees, they took two or

0:02:20.960 --> 0:02:26.040
<v Speaker 2>three in Bronx and ran out that Saturday in New York.

0:02:26.280 --> 0:02:28.800
<v Speaker 2>Then they go to Philadelphia, they'd take two of three.

0:02:28.919 --> 0:02:31.680
<v Speaker 2>The only game they lose is to Christopher Sanchez. They

0:02:31.720 --> 0:02:33.560
<v Speaker 2>have a day off, but yet it's not really a

0:02:33.680 --> 0:02:36.839
<v Speaker 2>day off because they were going to Washington, DC. Got

0:02:36.919 --> 0:02:39.440
<v Speaker 2>in late, woke up, went to Capitol Hill, went to

0:02:39.480 --> 0:02:41.639
<v Speaker 2>the White House and saw the President, and then had

0:02:41.639 --> 0:02:43.520
<v Speaker 2>to bust up to New York and get ready for

0:02:43.560 --> 0:02:46.320
<v Speaker 2>a three game weekend set back in New York, this

0:02:46.440 --> 0:02:49.799
<v Speaker 2>time in Queens against the Mets. And they still take

0:02:49.800 --> 0:02:52.040
<v Speaker 2>two with three and this was a road trip.

0:02:52.160 --> 0:02:52.360
<v Speaker 6>I know.

0:02:52.440 --> 0:02:55.360
<v Speaker 2>David Vese talked about it on his Instagram live on

0:02:55.400 --> 0:02:57.680
<v Speaker 2>AFI seven E LA Sports earlier today and he hit

0:02:57.720 --> 0:02:59.760
<v Speaker 2>it right on the head. We all looked at this

0:03:00.080 --> 0:03:03.880
<v Speaker 2>nine game road trip before the All Star Break as

0:03:03.960 --> 0:03:07.960
<v Speaker 2>one of those pivotal points of the season. I know

0:03:08.040 --> 0:03:10.600
<v Speaker 2>they have a double digit lead in the NL West,

0:03:10.600 --> 0:03:13.480
<v Speaker 2>but momentum wise, how would they come out of the

0:03:13.520 --> 0:03:17.240
<v Speaker 2>All Star break with five players, a coaching staff show,

0:03:17.280 --> 0:03:20.919
<v Speaker 2>hey Otani getting some work done on his knee. How

0:03:20.960 --> 0:03:22.640
<v Speaker 2>are they going to come out of all of that

0:03:23.639 --> 0:03:26.880
<v Speaker 2>on an East Coast roadie with nine games and ten

0:03:27.000 --> 0:03:29.680
<v Speaker 2>days and the only off days a trip to another

0:03:29.760 --> 0:03:32.600
<v Speaker 2>city to be recognized for what you did last year.

0:03:32.840 --> 0:03:35.480
<v Speaker 5>There's a lot going on on this road trip.

0:03:35.920 --> 0:03:39.880
<v Speaker 2>There's a lot of moving parts against teams fighting for

0:03:39.960 --> 0:03:43.120
<v Speaker 2>playoff spots and a Phillies team that likes to think

0:03:43.200 --> 0:03:46.520
<v Speaker 2>they're a contender in the National League with the Dodgers.

0:03:47.560 --> 0:03:49.680
<v Speaker 2>So the Dodgers, when you look back at what they

0:03:49.720 --> 0:03:52.920
<v Speaker 2>did winning all three series, taking two or three from

0:03:52.960 --> 0:03:55.400
<v Speaker 2>the Yankees, taking two of three from the Phillies, and

0:03:55.440 --> 0:03:57.920
<v Speaker 2>then finishing off taking two of three against the Mets,

0:03:58.000 --> 0:04:00.160
<v Speaker 2>albeit losing today, stings.

0:04:00.480 --> 0:04:01.560
<v Speaker 5>It's a pretty.

0:04:01.240 --> 0:04:04.400
<v Speaker 2>Gosh darn good road trip for the Dodgers coming out

0:04:04.400 --> 0:04:06.800
<v Speaker 2>of the All Star break and get your feet off

0:04:06.800 --> 0:04:08.880
<v Speaker 2>and run in here. And when you think about what's

0:04:08.920 --> 0:04:12.360
<v Speaker 2>coming up for the Dodgers, not just schedule wise, but

0:04:12.600 --> 0:04:16.880
<v Speaker 2>roster wise. Man, how can you not be excited to

0:04:16.960 --> 0:04:20.960
<v Speaker 2>see what is returning for this Dodgers team off the

0:04:21.080 --> 0:04:25.200
<v Speaker 2>injured list? And oh yeah, the trade deadline is eight

0:04:25.320 --> 0:04:28.520
<v Speaker 2>days away on August third. We can get into that

0:04:28.600 --> 0:04:31.039
<v Speaker 2>as well. Eight sixty six ninety eighty seven two five

0:04:31.120 --> 0:04:33.880
<v Speaker 2>seventy Dodgers Baseball, brought to you by Midello Madelo, The

0:04:33.960 --> 0:04:37.240
<v Speaker 2>Mark of a Fighter. Wef off night Dodger Talk tomorrow

0:04:37.320 --> 0:04:40.200
<v Speaker 2>night from seven to eight o'clock. We're really gonna get

0:04:40.200 --> 0:04:44.159
<v Speaker 2>into the trade deadline there because a lot of speculation,

0:04:44.240 --> 0:04:47.200
<v Speaker 2>will the Dodgers be in on tarring Schoobel, will the

0:04:47.200 --> 0:04:50.000
<v Speaker 2>Tigers even trade him? And then to me, there's a

0:04:50.120 --> 0:04:54.960
<v Speaker 2>drastic fall off between Schooble and everybody else. And because

0:04:55.000 --> 0:04:58.920
<v Speaker 2>of that, as I've mentioned numerous times here on Dodger Talk,

0:04:59.240 --> 0:05:02.880
<v Speaker 2>what the Dodgers getting back off the injured list. Trump's

0:05:03.279 --> 0:05:06.839
<v Speaker 2>what there could possibly do in a trade and what

0:05:06.920 --> 0:05:07.839
<v Speaker 2>they can get in return.

0:05:07.880 --> 0:05:10.520
<v Speaker 5>But I also have to give up something to get something.

0:05:10.720 --> 0:05:13.200
<v Speaker 2>The Dodgers are one of those teams and you don't

0:05:13.200 --> 0:05:15.640
<v Speaker 2>see this very often in fact, I'm trying to think

0:05:15.640 --> 0:05:19.920
<v Speaker 2>of another team or another Dodger year in which they

0:05:20.000 --> 0:05:23.799
<v Speaker 2>had this much talent on the injured list coming back

0:05:24.200 --> 0:05:27.960
<v Speaker 2>to bolster to inject life, if you will, into the

0:05:28.000 --> 0:05:30.520
<v Speaker 2>team that's already got the best record in baseball, into

0:05:30.520 --> 0:05:32.680
<v Speaker 2>a team that's already now got a twelve game lead

0:05:32.720 --> 0:05:35.400
<v Speaker 2>in the division in this year's Dodgers. And you got

0:05:35.480 --> 0:05:38.760
<v Speaker 2>Keky Hernandez coming off the injured list on Tuesday. Wow,

0:05:40.000 --> 0:05:41.880
<v Speaker 2>when Keyk is healthy, he's KEYK.

0:05:42.440 --> 0:05:44.720
<v Speaker 5>He's mister reliable. He's missed October.

0:05:44.800 --> 0:05:48.279
<v Speaker 2>Certainly right after that on Wednesday, in the second game

0:05:48.320 --> 0:05:51.440
<v Speaker 2>against Seattle, Edwin Diaz is scheduled to come off the

0:05:51.440 --> 0:05:54.400
<v Speaker 2>injured list. He's gonna throw his final tune up in

0:05:54.440 --> 0:05:56.919
<v Speaker 2>a minor league rehab appearance today and be good to

0:05:56.960 --> 0:05:59.960
<v Speaker 2>go on Wednesday. We haven't seen him since April, Folks,

0:06:00.480 --> 0:06:03.360
<v Speaker 2>We've got most of the season without Edwin Diaz. I

0:06:03.400 --> 0:06:06.080
<v Speaker 2>can't remember the last time we heard those beautiful trumpets

0:06:06.320 --> 0:06:10.280
<v Speaker 2>going off at Dodger Stadium. And then past that, you're

0:06:10.320 --> 0:06:13.560
<v Speaker 2>a few weeks away from Blake Snell returning, made two

0:06:13.600 --> 0:06:16.400
<v Speaker 2>appearances already in the minor leagues, set to make a third.

0:06:16.240 --> 0:06:18.680
<v Speaker 5>One on Wednesday, and if he can get to four innings.

0:06:18.880 --> 0:06:21.400
<v Speaker 2>Dave Roberts has already alluded to the fact he could

0:06:21.440 --> 0:06:25.599
<v Speaker 2>come back and join this rotation. What ten days, two

0:06:25.640 --> 0:06:28.040
<v Speaker 2>weeks from now, that's kind of that timeline when he

0:06:28.080 --> 0:06:30.840
<v Speaker 2>could jump back into this rotation. And even further down

0:06:30.839 --> 0:06:33.760
<v Speaker 2>the line is Tyler Glassnew and then not even to

0:06:33.800 --> 0:06:37.760
<v Speaker 2>mention Will Smith. So they got so many players coming

0:06:37.800 --> 0:06:40.480
<v Speaker 2>back off of injured list, I think trump what they

0:06:40.480 --> 0:06:43.560
<v Speaker 2>can go out and get at the trade deadline far

0:06:43.640 --> 0:06:48.360
<v Speaker 2>superior players in my mind, contributors and fit into the

0:06:48.400 --> 0:06:51.200
<v Speaker 2>piece of the puzzle here better than what you can

0:06:51.240 --> 0:06:52.839
<v Speaker 2>go out and get the trade deadline, and you're not

0:06:52.880 --> 0:06:55.920
<v Speaker 2>having to give up any equity in it. No minor

0:06:56.000 --> 0:06:58.679
<v Speaker 2>league prospects would be lost if that were the case.

0:06:59.040 --> 0:07:02.760
<v Speaker 5>Eight six, six seventy. So the road trip was a success.

0:07:03.120 --> 0:07:05.599
<v Speaker 2>The Dodgers got the trade deadline coming up, and they're

0:07:05.640 --> 0:07:08.800
<v Speaker 2>getting players back here off of the injured list, two

0:07:08.839 --> 0:07:11.560
<v Speaker 2>of them on this next series against the Seattle Manners.

0:07:11.600 --> 0:07:14.200
<v Speaker 2>Eight sixty six nine seven two five seventy.

0:07:13.960 --> 0:07:14.520
<v Speaker 5>Is a number.

0:07:15.160 --> 0:07:18.000
<v Speaker 2>It's just been a really good run here for the

0:07:18.000 --> 0:07:20.480
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers coming out of the All Star break a really

0:07:20.520 --> 0:07:23.000
<v Speaker 2>good run. All right, let's take some phone calls. We'll

0:07:23.000 --> 0:07:24.480
<v Speaker 2>hear from Imma. She ain't coming up in just a

0:07:24.520 --> 0:07:26.800
<v Speaker 2>couple of minutes. We'll hear from Rick Monday and again.

0:07:27.080 --> 0:07:30.800
<v Speaker 2>Today was the Hall of Fame induction ceremony at Cooperstown,

0:07:30.840 --> 0:07:31.280
<v Speaker 2>New York.

0:07:31.840 --> 0:07:32.920
<v Speaker 5>Three guys went in.

0:07:33.160 --> 0:07:35.200
<v Speaker 2>Andrew Jones played with the Dodgers at the end of

0:07:35.200 --> 0:07:38.240
<v Speaker 2>his career, Jeff Kent went in as a giant unfortunately,

0:07:38.320 --> 0:07:40.160
<v Speaker 2>but played for the Dodgers at the end of his career,

0:07:40.400 --> 0:07:42.840
<v Speaker 2>and of course Carlos Peltron.

0:07:43.040 --> 0:07:44.600
<v Speaker 5>All three going into the Hall of Fame.

0:07:45.200 --> 0:07:47.280
<v Speaker 2>I've looked ahead, Colin and I and I were looking

0:07:47.400 --> 0:07:51.600
<v Speaker 2>ahead to the next year in twenty twenty seven. It's

0:07:51.600 --> 0:07:55.000
<v Speaker 2>not a great class for the Hall of Fame. In fact,

0:07:55.040 --> 0:07:58.000
<v Speaker 2>you can make an argument they may get one player

0:07:58.680 --> 0:08:01.720
<v Speaker 2>elected into the Hall of Fame next year. I'm trying

0:08:01.720 --> 0:08:03.400
<v Speaker 2>to think, and I'm gonna look this up during the break.

0:08:03.840 --> 0:08:05.960
<v Speaker 2>Has there ever been a year where nobody got elected

0:08:05.960 --> 0:08:08.920
<v Speaker 2>into the Hall of Fame? Because next year is not

0:08:09.040 --> 0:08:12.880
<v Speaker 2>one of those. Wow, these guys are, no doubt first

0:08:12.880 --> 0:08:15.080
<v Speaker 2>time Hall of famers, or these guys have been waiting

0:08:15.120 --> 0:08:17.880
<v Speaker 2>so long. He deserves to get in finally, because this

0:08:17.920 --> 0:08:20.600
<v Speaker 2>is a year in which it speaks to that person

0:08:20.600 --> 0:08:22.520
<v Speaker 2>getting in because there's not a bunch of other first

0:08:22.520 --> 0:08:25.280
<v Speaker 2>timers or no doubt about hers. It's interesting. We'll get

0:08:25.280 --> 0:08:27.960
<v Speaker 2>into that as well here as Dodger Talk rolls on.

0:08:28.000 --> 0:08:30.000
<v Speaker 2>All right, let's go out to the phones. Let's go

0:08:30.080 --> 0:08:32.480
<v Speaker 2>to Bill and Mission Viejo starting us off here on

0:08:32.520 --> 0:08:34.959
<v Speaker 2>Dodger Talk. On this Sunday after the Dodgers fallow, the

0:08:35.040 --> 0:08:36.280
<v Speaker 2>Met's eight to three, Hi doing.

0:08:36.160 --> 0:08:39.720
<v Speaker 4>Bill, Hi, thanks for taking my call. So Evan Phillips

0:08:39.800 --> 0:08:41.680
<v Speaker 4>has given up to go ahead home running back to

0:08:41.720 --> 0:08:45.680
<v Speaker 4>back Sundays now, and it's a little bit troubling because

0:08:45.800 --> 0:08:47.880
<v Speaker 4>you know he might not be the same as he

0:08:48.040 --> 0:08:52.079
<v Speaker 4>was before. And then also Will Klein struggling, and the

0:08:52.200 --> 0:08:55.280
<v Speaker 4>Dodgers themselves have not had many home runs from a

0:08:55.280 --> 0:08:59.400
<v Speaker 4>few players like Paez and Oscar Hernandez and the show. Hey,

0:08:59.440 --> 0:09:01.080
<v Speaker 4>they're doing a home run droughts. So what do you

0:09:01.080 --> 0:09:01.760
<v Speaker 4>think of all that?

0:09:01.960 --> 0:09:03.880
<v Speaker 2>Well, I think they're gonna get right, and I appreciate

0:09:03.880 --> 0:09:06.319
<v Speaker 2>the phone call Bill. It's a stretch in which show

0:09:06.360 --> 0:09:09.319
<v Speaker 2>Hay is struggling. I mentioned it earlier with Jose on

0:09:09.320 --> 0:09:11.480
<v Speaker 2>this road trip, seven for thirty eight, hitting one to

0:09:11.480 --> 0:09:14.839
<v Speaker 2>eighty four, no home runs, eleven strikeouts. I gotta believe

0:09:14.840 --> 0:09:17.040
<v Speaker 2>it's the knee. He just doesn't look the same at

0:09:17.040 --> 0:09:19.040
<v Speaker 2>the plate. But he'll get right. I don't have any

0:09:19.040 --> 0:09:22.360
<v Speaker 2>problems with that tasker. Hernandez starting to worry a little bit.

0:09:22.640 --> 0:09:25.200
<v Speaker 2>He's chasing way too many pitches out of the strike

0:09:25.280 --> 0:09:28.040
<v Speaker 2>zone and swinging and missing at pitches that are really

0:09:28.040 --> 0:09:30.480
<v Speaker 2>out of the strike zone. Andy paj Has I'm not

0:09:30.559 --> 0:09:33.959
<v Speaker 2>concerned about because when the guys around him get right,

0:09:33.960 --> 0:09:35.960
<v Speaker 2>and Freddie certainly has been right, but when show Hay

0:09:36.040 --> 0:09:38.600
<v Speaker 2>gets right above him, you know, I think Andy will

0:09:38.640 --> 0:09:39.280
<v Speaker 2>get right as well.

0:09:39.280 --> 0:09:40.599
<v Speaker 5>I think it's going to be a trickle down for

0:09:40.640 --> 0:09:41.319
<v Speaker 5>those two guys.

0:09:41.320 --> 0:09:43.440
<v Speaker 2>Taska is the one I'm a little bit worried about

0:09:43.600 --> 0:09:45.520
<v Speaker 2>as far as the lineup is concerned, and they've Darney

0:09:45.559 --> 0:09:48.120
<v Speaker 2>dropped him down towards the bottom third of the lineup,

0:09:48.160 --> 0:09:49.959
<v Speaker 2>so I don't know how much further he can fall

0:09:50.320 --> 0:09:52.160
<v Speaker 2>unless he goes all the way down to the ninth spot.

0:09:52.240 --> 0:09:54.240
<v Speaker 2>But he's got to get right, and he's got to

0:09:54.280 --> 0:09:55.800
<v Speaker 2>get right, and I think it's just a couple of

0:09:55.840 --> 0:09:59.360
<v Speaker 2>games and seeing some positive results and he'll feel better

0:09:59.559 --> 0:10:00.440
<v Speaker 2>at the play and we'll.

0:10:00.360 --> 0:10:02.400
<v Speaker 5>Start seeing that ta Oscar Hernandez again.

0:10:02.480 --> 0:10:05.199
<v Speaker 2>So much runway, so to speak, left in the second

0:10:05.200 --> 0:10:07.760
<v Speaker 2>half of the season. You don't need to come out

0:10:07.840 --> 0:10:10.720
<v Speaker 2>out of the gate and catch fire, and you know

0:10:10.840 --> 0:10:12.560
<v Speaker 2>that's it. You just kind of peter out the rest

0:10:12.559 --> 0:10:15.280
<v Speaker 2>of the way. You know, it's a marathon. These guys

0:10:15.320 --> 0:10:16.959
<v Speaker 2>are gonna have their ups and downs right now. A

0:10:16.960 --> 0:10:19.880
<v Speaker 2>couple of those guys are having their down portions of

0:10:19.920 --> 0:10:22.440
<v Speaker 2>this season. But there's no doubt over the course of

0:10:22.480 --> 0:10:24.679
<v Speaker 2>one sixty two. So he flipped the calendar to August

0:10:24.720 --> 0:10:27.079
<v Speaker 2>next week, so we get into September. I have all

0:10:27.120 --> 0:10:29.160
<v Speaker 2>the confidence that these guys are going to get right.

0:10:29.160 --> 0:10:31.439
<v Speaker 2>As far as the relievers are concerned, it's a little

0:10:31.480 --> 0:10:33.840
<v Speaker 2>concerning the amount of walks, and Dave Roberts sounded a

0:10:34.040 --> 0:10:36.520
<v Speaker 2>very frustrated post game when we heard from him in

0:10:36.520 --> 0:10:39.280
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers of Clubout Show. Too many walks, too many

0:10:39.280 --> 0:10:41.760
<v Speaker 2>free passes, and too many at bats where you're not

0:10:41.880 --> 0:10:47.320
<v Speaker 2>throwing contested pitches and pitches that you know are you're trying,

0:10:47.320 --> 0:10:50.440
<v Speaker 2>you're able to get swinging missus or get out. You know,

0:10:50.520 --> 0:10:52.160
<v Speaker 2>too many pitches down the middle of the plate from

0:10:52.160 --> 0:10:54.440
<v Speaker 2>Evan Phillips, and he's given up four home runs now

0:10:54.720 --> 0:10:57.160
<v Speaker 2>in seven outings since coming back off the injured list

0:10:58.120 --> 0:11:01.480
<v Speaker 2>will Climb. Will Climb, to me, is the biggest question

0:11:01.600 --> 0:11:05.240
<v Speaker 2>mark in that bullpen as of recent He has not

0:11:05.280 --> 0:11:07.360
<v Speaker 2>been really good, giving up too many runs, a lead

0:11:07.400 --> 0:11:10.520
<v Speaker 2>off walk in the seventh, a second walk in the

0:11:10.559 --> 0:11:13.280
<v Speaker 2>inning gets pulled, or it gives up the three run

0:11:13.360 --> 0:11:17.320
<v Speaker 2>home run. So to me, it is a problem for

0:11:17.640 --> 0:11:21.120
<v Speaker 2>will Climb as of late. And the good news is

0:11:21.160 --> 0:11:23.480
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers are so deep with the bullpen getting back

0:11:23.559 --> 0:11:26.640
<v Speaker 2>Edwin Diaz, I think will kind of rearrange some of

0:11:26.679 --> 0:11:30.200
<v Speaker 2>the high leverage Dodger back end bullpen guys and we

0:11:30.360 --> 0:11:32.640
<v Speaker 2>may not see as much as We'll Climb in high

0:11:32.720 --> 0:11:35.439
<v Speaker 2>leverage situations. And maybe that's not a bad thing. Maybe

0:11:35.440 --> 0:11:37.640
<v Speaker 2>he needs to go in some situations that are not

0:11:37.960 --> 0:11:40.720
<v Speaker 2>high leverage, where the Dodgers are either down or up,

0:11:40.720 --> 0:11:42.439
<v Speaker 2>in a situation he can go out there and get

0:11:42.480 --> 0:11:46.280
<v Speaker 2>some work in and again see some positive results, because

0:11:46.320 --> 0:11:47.959
<v Speaker 2>that is a big thing in the game of baseball,

0:11:48.080 --> 0:11:51.280
<v Speaker 2>is going out there and seeing what you're working on

0:11:51.360 --> 0:11:53.880
<v Speaker 2>and the mechanics that you're working on a daily basis

0:11:53.880 --> 0:11:57.120
<v Speaker 2>and grinding to see some positive results. Finally, to see

0:11:57.360 --> 0:11:59.560
<v Speaker 2>some base hits, home runs as a hitter, to see

0:11:59.559 --> 0:12:02.000
<v Speaker 2>strike and outs being made as a pitcher.

0:12:02.559 --> 0:12:04.680
<v Speaker 5>It's amazing what it'll do for your psyche. Folks.

0:12:04.720 --> 0:12:06.800
<v Speaker 2>Just think about your everyday life and when you see

0:12:06.800 --> 0:12:09.560
<v Speaker 2>something positive happens, or something good in your life happens

0:12:09.720 --> 0:12:11.520
<v Speaker 2>that you're working on or trying to get done.

0:12:11.679 --> 0:12:13.160
<v Speaker 5>You know, whether you're working at home.

0:12:13.040 --> 0:12:15.920
<v Speaker 2>Or do whatever, and you see something positive happen, you

0:12:15.920 --> 0:12:18.280
<v Speaker 2>feel good about it and you're you're a little bit

0:12:18.280 --> 0:12:20.960
<v Speaker 2>more confident in what you're doing. And I think that's

0:12:21.000 --> 0:12:22.680
<v Speaker 2>just the case for some of these Dodger hitters, and

0:12:22.679 --> 0:12:25.319
<v Speaker 2>certainly for Will Klein. In the Dodger bullpen, as Dave

0:12:25.360 --> 0:12:28.400
<v Speaker 2>Roberts said, this isn't a bullpen that's taxed. This isn't

0:12:28.400 --> 0:12:30.840
<v Speaker 2>a bullpen that you can say, wow, man, nine games

0:12:30.840 --> 0:12:33.199
<v Speaker 2>in ten days and they were pitching half of those innings.

0:12:33.320 --> 0:12:33.840
<v Speaker 5>They weren't.

0:12:34.280 --> 0:12:36.800
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers starting pitchers have been really good out of the gate,

0:12:37.080 --> 0:12:39.920
<v Speaker 2>coming out of the All Star Break. Dodger's bullpen is,

0:12:40.040 --> 0:12:43.080
<v Speaker 2>you know, not had to do a lot of work,

0:12:44.000 --> 0:12:46.840
<v Speaker 2>and certainly there weren't. That they did in the Philly

0:12:46.920 --> 0:12:48.839
<v Speaker 2>series was good, and then New York was good the

0:12:48.880 --> 0:12:51.120
<v Speaker 2>first time around against the Yankees. They just the last

0:12:51.120 --> 0:12:53.839
<v Speaker 2>two games for whatever reason, just too many walks and

0:12:53.920 --> 0:12:58.000
<v Speaker 2>too many bad count situations for guys like Evan Phillips

0:12:58.040 --> 0:13:00.199
<v Speaker 2>and Will Clin in this Dodger's bullpen, and certainly Jack

0:13:00.240 --> 0:13:02.520
<v Speaker 2>tryer Ga throw into that mix as well, walking two

0:13:02.559 --> 0:13:04.719
<v Speaker 2>of the three batters that he faced to start off

0:13:04.720 --> 0:13:06.240
<v Speaker 2>the sixth inning and giving up that three to one

0:13:06.360 --> 0:13:09.040
<v Speaker 2>lead eight sixty six, nine eighty seven, two five seventy.

0:13:09.120 --> 0:13:11.880
<v Speaker 5>Eric in Hollywood is next up on Dodger Talk. What's up, Eric?

0:13:11.880 --> 0:13:16.920
<v Speaker 5>How you doing? Dodder? Nay shit, it's been a.

0:13:16.880 --> 0:13:18.000
<v Speaker 3>Minute man, How are you?

0:13:18.040 --> 0:13:18.160
<v Speaker 6>Man?

0:13:18.280 --> 0:13:20.480
<v Speaker 3>Been listening to you? It's been great.

0:13:20.800 --> 0:13:21.959
<v Speaker 5>Love your love.

0:13:22.000 --> 0:13:24.600
<v Speaker 3>When you're on the radio, you always have something positive

0:13:24.679 --> 0:13:26.640
<v Speaker 3>or saying You're always feeling me in And I've got

0:13:26.679 --> 0:13:28.440
<v Speaker 3>to agree with you, man. I love this road trip.

0:13:28.440 --> 0:13:31.480
<v Speaker 3>Six and three is fantastic coming out of the All

0:13:31.480 --> 0:13:33.880
<v Speaker 3>Star break like that, and guys are starting to figure

0:13:33.920 --> 0:13:37.360
<v Speaker 3>it out. And yes, I completely concur man. We don't

0:13:37.360 --> 0:13:40.080
<v Speaker 3>need anything in the trade deadline and we don't get

0:13:40.120 --> 0:13:42.760
<v Speaker 3>players to prevent other players from getting them. We make

0:13:42.840 --> 0:13:47.160
<v Speaker 3>ourselves right, and Blake's coming back, Glassno's coming back. I

0:13:47.200 --> 0:13:49.800
<v Speaker 3>am a little bit worried about Will. Been listening to Timmy,

0:13:50.000 --> 0:13:52.080
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I'm sorry, been listening to DV and dv's

0:13:52.120 --> 0:13:54.720
<v Speaker 3>got no news to give us, And well that's usually

0:13:54.760 --> 0:13:57.920
<v Speaker 3>not a good sign. But Dolphin's coming around, and I

0:13:58.040 --> 0:14:00.800
<v Speaker 3>really don't think we need a catcher. I think we

0:14:00.840 --> 0:14:03.840
<v Speaker 3>could do it with Fonzie and with Dalton and everybody

0:14:03.920 --> 0:14:05.839
<v Speaker 3>gets on him because he's emotional, but I want a

0:14:05.880 --> 0:14:08.800
<v Speaker 3>guy like that. Man, he's got fire, you know, and

0:14:08.960 --> 0:14:10.920
<v Speaker 3>you know, come playoff time. He had a little taste

0:14:10.920 --> 0:14:12.760
<v Speaker 3>a bit last year, and I think he wants to

0:14:12.800 --> 0:14:15.000
<v Speaker 3>take the crown on his own and kind of roll

0:14:15.080 --> 0:14:17.360
<v Speaker 3>through these playoffs. But I'm excited.

0:14:17.360 --> 0:14:17.560
<v Speaker 7>Man.

0:14:17.600 --> 0:14:21.080
<v Speaker 3>We look good, tim We look good. What should we

0:14:21.160 --> 0:14:21.760
<v Speaker 3>be looking for?

0:14:21.800 --> 0:14:22.160
<v Speaker 1>Then? Man?

0:14:22.200 --> 0:14:24.280
<v Speaker 3>What should we be worried about that? I mean, because

0:14:24.280 --> 0:14:25.800
<v Speaker 3>we're Dodger fans, I'm gonna worry.

0:14:27.240 --> 0:14:29.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm out worried.

0:14:29.640 --> 0:14:31.120
<v Speaker 5>I appreciate the phone call. Eric.

0:14:31.360 --> 0:14:33.360
<v Speaker 2>I don't think the Dodgers are going to be actively

0:14:33.400 --> 0:14:35.920
<v Speaker 2>going out there and trying to find a player. In

0:14:35.960 --> 0:14:40.440
<v Speaker 2>my book, somebody that's gonna be a plug in, ready

0:14:40.480 --> 0:14:43.880
<v Speaker 2>to go every day starter. I just don't think there's

0:14:43.920 --> 0:14:46.720
<v Speaker 2>the need for that. Certainly, he can always look to

0:14:46.720 --> 0:14:48.800
<v Speaker 2>get better on your roster, but man, you'll get this

0:14:48.800 --> 0:14:51.920
<v Speaker 2>twenty six man roster, it's pretty deep. I mean, Alex

0:14:51.960 --> 0:14:54.280
<v Speaker 2>Freelan is going to be going back to Triple A

0:14:54.360 --> 0:14:56.080
<v Speaker 2>here in the next twenty four hours.

0:14:56.080 --> 0:14:59.880
<v Speaker 5>When you see the return of Keith Aharnant.

0:15:00.680 --> 0:15:02.200
<v Speaker 2>What are the Dodgers gonna do as far as the

0:15:02.200 --> 0:15:04.720
<v Speaker 2>bullpen is concerned, Charlie Barnes probably the odd man out.

0:15:04.840 --> 0:15:05.200
<v Speaker 5>They do.

0:15:05.240 --> 0:15:07.160
<v Speaker 2>They put an injured list to a guy like Will

0:15:07.200 --> 0:15:10.160
<v Speaker 2>Klein so he can rest a Jack Dryer who's already

0:15:10.200 --> 0:15:12.040
<v Speaker 2>seen a stint on the IL. I mean, when you

0:15:12.080 --> 0:15:14.080
<v Speaker 2>get Edwin Diaz back, you're gonna have to put somebody

0:15:14.160 --> 0:15:15.520
<v Speaker 2>on the injured list, or you're gonna have to send

0:15:15.560 --> 0:15:18.160
<v Speaker 2>somebody back to Triple A, Oklahoma City or DFAM.

0:15:18.240 --> 0:15:21.040
<v Speaker 5>So there's roster moves to be made. And we're again

0:15:21.120 --> 0:15:21.600
<v Speaker 5>seeing the.

0:15:21.480 --> 0:15:23.920
<v Speaker 2>Depth of this Dodgers team and how good it is

0:15:24.320 --> 0:15:26.400
<v Speaker 2>over the last couple of weeks, and now that we're

0:15:26.440 --> 0:15:30.480
<v Speaker 2>seeing diz kyk down the road, Blake Snell even further

0:15:30.520 --> 0:15:34.800
<v Speaker 2>down the road, Tyler Glass now returning is again in

0:15:34.840 --> 0:15:37.520
<v Speaker 2>my mind, those are bigger pickups that you could go

0:15:37.560 --> 0:15:39.920
<v Speaker 2>out and get into trade with somebody out there and

0:15:39.960 --> 0:15:43.880
<v Speaker 2>having to give up or draft or trade equity in return.

0:15:44.080 --> 0:15:46.120
<v Speaker 2>I just think you already have the guys in the house.

0:15:46.160 --> 0:15:47.720
<v Speaker 2>There's no need to go out and do it. And

0:15:47.760 --> 0:15:49.800
<v Speaker 2>I know there's a lot of talk about whether or

0:15:49.840 --> 0:15:54.800
<v Speaker 2>not the Dodgers should be stoppers or blockers in it

0:15:54.960 --> 0:15:58.400
<v Speaker 2>possible Terry Scougle trade. If the Brewers are a team,

0:15:58.480 --> 0:16:01.160
<v Speaker 2>which here they are trying to go out and get

0:16:01.320 --> 0:16:04.440
<v Speaker 2>a Terrek Scooble, do do you block that from happening?

0:16:05.200 --> 0:16:07.120
<v Speaker 2>And I know David's adamant that they're not going to

0:16:07.200 --> 0:16:09.120
<v Speaker 2>do it, and you can you can argue both sides.

0:16:09.360 --> 0:16:13.480
<v Speaker 2>My personal opinion, just my personal opinion. If the Milwaukee

0:16:13.600 --> 0:16:16.200
<v Speaker 2>Brewers are trying to go out and get Terrek Scooble.

0:16:15.920 --> 0:16:18.640
<v Speaker 5>The Dodgers have to block it. The Dodgers have to.

0:16:18.640 --> 0:16:23.200
<v Speaker 2>Go out and give up more and get Schooble in return.

0:16:23.360 --> 0:16:26.720
<v Speaker 2>And why you ask, because I don't want to see

0:16:26.800 --> 0:16:32.040
<v Speaker 2>Jacob Mizerowski Tarry Schooble Harrison in that possible matchup in

0:16:32.080 --> 0:16:35.720
<v Speaker 2>the postseason with those three starters, folks. The miz today

0:16:36.080 --> 0:16:39.960
<v Speaker 2>struck out seven straight batters to start the game against Colorado.

0:16:40.160 --> 0:16:43.520
<v Speaker 2>He struck out eleven of the first twelve that he faced.

0:16:44.000 --> 0:16:46.920
<v Speaker 2>The dude is nasty and he throws Trek Scouble in

0:16:46.960 --> 0:16:50.000
<v Speaker 2>there and then they get Harrison back. That's a one

0:16:50.080 --> 0:16:53.800
<v Speaker 2>two three punch you really don't want to see come October.

0:16:53.840 --> 0:16:57.240
<v Speaker 2>When games are lower scored, you know, runs are at

0:16:57.240 --> 0:16:59.600
<v Speaker 2>a premium more, you really have to, you know, win

0:16:59.640 --> 0:17:02.920
<v Speaker 2>tight games. You know, three two to one, four to two.

0:17:03.240 --> 0:17:05.640
<v Speaker 2>You're not blown out teams eight to three, or you're

0:17:05.640 --> 0:17:08.560
<v Speaker 2>not blown out teams seven to one. They're closer games

0:17:08.600 --> 0:17:10.760
<v Speaker 2>because the talent is closer than the Brewers are just

0:17:10.880 --> 0:17:12.960
<v Speaker 2>right there with the Dodgers. So again, we'll get into

0:17:13.000 --> 0:17:16.119
<v Speaker 2>an off night Dodger talk tomorrow because we'll be a

0:17:16.160 --> 0:17:19.000
<v Speaker 2>week away from the trade deadline, which is again Monday, August.

0:17:19.000 --> 0:17:21.080
<v Speaker 2>Thirtt's take it, take a quick time out, we'll come back.

0:17:21.119 --> 0:17:23.960
<v Speaker 2>We'll hear from Immachina, We'll hear from Rick Monday, who

0:17:24.200 --> 0:17:27.160
<v Speaker 2>has spent the weekend in Cooperstown, New York, for the

0:17:27.200 --> 0:17:29.720
<v Speaker 2>Hall of Fame induction ceremony. And I want to get

0:17:29.720 --> 0:17:33.920
<v Speaker 2>into next year. Three went in today. But will anybody

0:17:33.960 --> 0:17:36.840
<v Speaker 2>be elected into the Hall of Fame next year in

0:17:36.960 --> 0:17:38.000
<v Speaker 2>Major League Baseball?

0:17:38.640 --> 0:17:39.120
<v Speaker 5>I don't know.

0:17:40.640 --> 0:17:46.560
<v Speaker 2>We'll find out. First time since nineteen sixty it happened in.

0:17:46.520 --> 0:17:47.360
<v Speaker 5>Twenty twenty one.

0:17:48.280 --> 0:17:51.280
<v Speaker 2>No player in the twenty twenty one class reached the

0:17:51.320 --> 0:17:53.960
<v Speaker 2>seventy five percent threshold needed for enshrinement.

0:17:54.960 --> 0:17:55.480
<v Speaker 5>Interesting.

0:17:56.520 --> 0:17:58.720
<v Speaker 2>Interesting, So we may see it again next year. We'll

0:17:58.720 --> 0:18:01.080
<v Speaker 2>get into it. Dodgers lose the Mets eight to three

0:18:01.080 --> 0:18:03.439

<v Speaker 2>the fourth inning on an Alfonso Rbi groundout, Dodgers were

0:18:49.320 --> 0:18:51.479
<v Speaker 2>up three to one, handed it over to the bullpen

0:18:51.520 --> 0:18:54.120
<v Speaker 2>after Imma Machine went five innings. Jack Dryer though while

0:18:54.200 --> 0:18:56.720

<v Speaker 2>lead and the game. As the Mets win the finale

0:19:11.200 --> 0:19:13.119
<v Speaker 2>eight to three. The Dodgers still take two to three,

<v Speaker 2>go six and three on this nine game road trip

0:19:15.480 --> 0:19:19.040
<v Speaker 2>with series wins against the Yankees, the Phillies, and the Mets.

0:19:19.080 --> 0:19:21.879
<v Speaker 2>Immit Sheen gave up back to back to back hits

0:19:21.920 --> 0:19:24.439
<v Speaker 2>to lead off the first inning to the Mets, but

0:19:24.480 --> 0:19:26.520
<v Speaker 2>then after that did not give up a hit the

0:19:26.520 --> 0:19:29.480
<v Speaker 2>rest of the way, struck out five through eighty seven pitches,

0:19:29.640 --> 0:19:32.080
<v Speaker 2>was in line for the win, but gets a no decision.

0:19:32.119 --> 0:19:34.159
<v Speaker 2>Let's head back out to New York, Immit she and

0:19:34.240 --> 0:19:34.960
<v Speaker 2>with the media.

0:19:35.040 --> 0:19:36.680
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, I think that's something I've been working on this

0:19:36.760 --> 0:19:38.399
<v Speaker 8>year for sure, is just trying not to let it

0:19:38.440 --> 0:19:42.119
<v Speaker 8>snowball like that, So yeah, I think first inning is

0:19:42.119 --> 0:19:44.280
<v Speaker 8>a little off, and then was able to walk it

0:19:44.320 --> 0:19:45.920
<v Speaker 8>in and just try to keep us there. Obviously it's

0:19:45.960 --> 0:19:47.480
<v Speaker 8>not good to put us in a hole ever, but

0:19:47.560 --> 0:19:49.200
<v Speaker 8>trying to keep it there, so like I did a

0:19:49.200 --> 0:19:49.600
<v Speaker 8>good job.

0:19:49.760 --> 0:19:52.600
<v Speaker 7>Let me look at just kind of as you kind

0:19:52.600 --> 0:19:53.920
<v Speaker 7>of just mentioned, you know, we'll do a good job

0:19:53.920 --> 0:19:55.720
<v Speaker 7>of selling back in. Is there something in specific that

0:19:55.760 --> 0:19:58.679
<v Speaker 7>you've kind of found that you were working on kind

0:19:58.720 --> 0:20:00.640
<v Speaker 7>of a glove tap to center, but it's just something

0:20:00.640 --> 0:20:03.520
<v Speaker 7>that you've found mechanically or just mentally to put you

0:20:03.560 --> 0:20:05.040
<v Speaker 7>back into a position so you can be a little

0:20:05.040 --> 0:20:05.720
<v Speaker 7>bit more effective.

0:20:05.960 --> 0:20:08.280
<v Speaker 8>I think just being convicted knowing the plan when we

0:20:08.320 --> 0:20:10.280
<v Speaker 8>go out there. Me and Fanzi run on the same

0:20:10.320 --> 0:20:12.600
<v Speaker 8>page all day, I thought, so getting with him in

0:20:12.960 --> 0:20:15.439
<v Speaker 8>between innings and shammering down what we're gonna do when

0:20:15.440 --> 0:20:17.000
<v Speaker 8>we get out there, so I'm convicted in it when

0:20:17.000 --> 0:20:19.879
<v Speaker 8>I can throw it, says, I feel like when the

0:20:19.880 --> 0:20:22.040
<v Speaker 8>game starts with three straight hits, just trying to kind

0:20:22.040 --> 0:20:24.000
<v Speaker 8>of settle in there and get out of that spot and.

0:20:23.960 --> 0:20:25.720
<v Speaker 7>Then you know, get deep into the game from there.

0:20:25.920 --> 0:20:27.640
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, definitely, I mean I've been there before this year

0:20:27.760 --> 0:20:30.880
<v Speaker 8>a few times. So I feel like if I didn't

0:20:30.960 --> 0:20:33.000
<v Speaker 8>learn from it, then there's no point in it happening.

0:20:33.040 --> 0:20:36.040
<v Speaker 8>So yeah, trying to just you know, change it a

0:20:36.080 --> 0:20:38.800
<v Speaker 8>little bit and do what I can to keep us there.

0:20:39.320 --> 0:20:40.680
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, and bitch better.

0:20:40.800 --> 0:20:43.119
<v Speaker 2>After the back to back to back hits that he

0:20:43.160 --> 0:20:46.840
<v Speaker 2>gave up in the first inning, including Francisco Lindor RBI single,

0:20:46.960 --> 0:20:49.359
<v Speaker 2>settled in, didn't have the best to command, still did

0:20:49.400 --> 0:20:51.000
<v Speaker 2>to walk a couple of batters, but was able to

0:20:51.000 --> 0:20:53.600
<v Speaker 2>get some chase and get some swing and missus and

0:20:53.640 --> 0:20:56.000
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers, though fall to the Mets by a final

0:20:56.160 --> 0:20:58.880

<v Speaker 2>induction ceremony. Real quick before we get to the audio

0:21:44.600 --> 0:21:48.560
<v Speaker 2>from Rick Monday, who was there this weekend nineteen ninety nine,

0:21:49.520 --> 0:21:52.800
<v Speaker 2>I along with my family went to the Baseball Hall

0:21:52.840 --> 0:21:56.200
<v Speaker 2>of Fame in Cooperstown, New York for the induction ceremony

0:21:56.240 --> 0:21:59.719
<v Speaker 2>that year. And you talk about a class that equals

0:21:59.720 --> 0:22:01.560
<v Speaker 2>one of the best in recent history.

0:22:02.960 --> 0:22:04.119
<v Speaker 5>The Veterans Committee.

0:22:04.640 --> 0:22:09.000
<v Speaker 2>Four different men including Orlando Cipaida got inducted into the

0:22:09.040 --> 0:22:09.520
<v Speaker 2>Hall of Fame.

0:22:10.000 --> 0:22:10.600
<v Speaker 5>Pretty cool.

0:22:11.800 --> 0:22:15.920
<v Speaker 2>But three Hall of Famers that were inducted that year.

0:22:15.920 --> 0:22:18.119
<v Speaker 2>In nineteen ninety nine, the year that I went up,

0:22:18.359 --> 0:22:20.440
<v Speaker 2>went to this Hall of Fame induction ceremony, and by

0:22:20.440 --> 0:22:22.199
<v Speaker 2>the way, it was like one hundred degrees with one

0:22:22.280 --> 0:22:25.240
<v Speaker 2>hundred percent humidity and there was like thirty five thousand

0:22:25.240 --> 0:22:29.120
<v Speaker 2>people there. It was great except for the heat. George Brett,

0:22:29.520 --> 0:22:33.840
<v Speaker 2>Robin Youngnt and Nolan Ryan. Those three guys, along with

0:22:33.960 --> 0:22:37.560
<v Speaker 2>Orlando Cepaida and three others on the Veterans Committee inducted

0:22:37.600 --> 0:22:40.000
<v Speaker 2>into the Baseball Hall of Fame back in nineteen ninety nine.

0:22:40.320 --> 0:22:43.280
<v Speaker 2>Was there, was there for the weekend. It was tremendous.

0:22:43.440 --> 0:22:44.919
<v Speaker 2>It was so cool to be a part of it.

0:22:45.160 --> 0:22:48.000
<v Speaker 2>I highly suggest you get to Cooper's Down whether it's

0:22:48.640 --> 0:22:50.960
<v Speaker 2>induction weekend or not. But if you can get there

0:22:50.960 --> 0:22:53.880
<v Speaker 2>for Induction weekend, it is really cool to see all

0:22:53.920 --> 0:22:55.320
<v Speaker 2>the Hall of Famers that are there. And they had

0:22:55.359 --> 0:22:58.159
<v Speaker 2>a record sixty there this weekend. And while he's not

0:22:58.240 --> 0:23:00.919
<v Speaker 2>a Hall of Famer, he is an our hearts the

0:23:00.960 --> 0:23:03.840
<v Speaker 2>great Rick Monday was there this weekend. It's fifty years

0:23:03.920 --> 0:23:06.520
<v Speaker 2>since Rick saved the American flag from those two animals

0:23:06.560 --> 0:23:09.280
<v Speaker 2>and left field the Dodger Stadium back in nineteen seventy six.

0:23:09.560 --> 0:23:11.920
<v Speaker 2>He has kept the American flag, you know the story.

0:23:12.119 --> 0:23:14.080
<v Speaker 2>You know he still uses it for great causes for

0:23:14.160 --> 0:23:18.800
<v Speaker 2>our troops. And he now has a display at Cooperstown

0:23:18.920 --> 0:23:21.320
<v Speaker 2>Josh Rowich Form, where Dodger P. R. Maven now is

0:23:21.320 --> 0:23:24.280
<v Speaker 2>the President of the Baseball Hall of Fame. In Cooperstown,

0:23:24.440 --> 0:23:27.399
<v Speaker 2>and they have set up a tremendous display for people

0:23:27.440 --> 0:23:30.080
<v Speaker 2>to get the background of the flag, to learn about

0:23:30.119 --> 0:23:32.840
<v Speaker 2>what happened, and to learn about what has been done

0:23:33.440 --> 0:23:37.000
<v Speaker 2>fundraising with that American flag that Rick Monday still has.

0:23:37.000 --> 0:23:39.280
<v Speaker 2>So Rick was there along with his wife and his

0:23:39.400 --> 0:23:41.600
<v Speaker 2>daughter and was able to enjoy the weekend.

0:23:41.640 --> 0:23:42.440
<v Speaker 5>They had a great.

0:23:42.240 --> 0:23:44.720
<v Speaker 2>Ceremony, they had a panel discussion. He was there all

0:23:44.720 --> 0:23:47.639
<v Speaker 2>weekend long and had a great chance to speak about

0:23:47.680 --> 0:23:49.200
<v Speaker 2>what this flag means.

0:23:49.440 --> 0:23:52.399
<v Speaker 6>But in the fifty years that have transpired since that

0:23:52.560 --> 0:23:56.800
<v Speaker 6>Sunday afternoon at Dodger Stadium, not much has changed. The

0:23:56.840 --> 0:24:01.560
<v Speaker 6>mail that we get is the same respect for this

0:24:01.680 --> 0:24:06.480
<v Speaker 6>country and the people that supported what that flag represents

0:24:06.520 --> 0:24:08.040
<v Speaker 6>for each and every one of us, the rights and

0:24:08.119 --> 0:24:11.679
<v Speaker 6>freedoms and what we do with those rights and freedoms

0:24:11.760 --> 0:24:15.760
<v Speaker 6>is up to us individually and collectively. But on that

0:24:15.840 --> 0:24:21.000
<v Speaker 6>Sunday afternoon, it really started a windstorm of thoughts. And

0:24:21.160 --> 0:24:23.560
<v Speaker 6>most of the letters that we get today are from

0:24:23.600 --> 0:24:25.760
<v Speaker 6>those who were not even born at that particular time,

0:24:25.800 --> 0:24:30.600
<v Speaker 6>so it touched people. That flag still has a life

0:24:30.760 --> 0:24:32.760
<v Speaker 6>and we are honored to share it with the Hall

0:24:32.840 --> 0:24:35.639
<v Speaker 6>of Fame, and the people come here and how it

0:24:35.720 --> 0:24:38.879
<v Speaker 6>has been displayed and all of the people, remarkable people

0:24:38.920 --> 0:24:40.560
<v Speaker 6>at the Hall of Fame and how they have done

0:24:40.560 --> 0:24:43.560
<v Speaker 6>it with the care that they have presented in that

0:24:43.720 --> 0:24:51.160
<v Speaker 6>display is phenomenal. My thanks to everyone that has really

0:24:51.280 --> 0:24:54.719
<v Speaker 6>accepted us as we have tried to go forward and

0:24:54.920 --> 0:24:57.359
<v Speaker 6>kind of present the flag and what it means.

0:24:57.880 --> 0:25:01.640
<v Speaker 2>All right, there is our own Monday in Cooper's Down

0:25:01.680 --> 0:25:05.159
<v Speaker 2>this weekend talking about the displayed flag that he saved

0:25:05.240 --> 0:25:09.719
<v Speaker 2>fifty years ago. And it is a tremendous display and

0:25:09.760 --> 0:25:11.480
<v Speaker 2>the Cooper's Down Hall of Fame.

0:25:11.680 --> 0:25:12.639
<v Speaker 5>Is so awesome.

0:25:12.680 --> 0:25:16.320
<v Speaker 2>If you're a baseball fan, I cannot suggest you get

0:25:16.400 --> 0:25:18.919
<v Speaker 2>there at some point in your life. Get the time

0:25:19.359 --> 0:25:21.680
<v Speaker 2>to get to Upstate New York and don't just go

0:25:21.720 --> 0:25:25.800
<v Speaker 2>for the Little league or or tournaments that they have there.

0:25:25.840 --> 0:25:28.040
<v Speaker 2>That's great as well for the young kids that get

0:25:28.040 --> 0:25:29.760
<v Speaker 2>to go play that huge tournament they have there every

0:25:29.800 --> 0:25:33.800
<v Speaker 2>summer in Cooperstown. But as a baseball fan, tour that

0:25:33.920 --> 0:25:37.399
<v Speaker 2>great Hall of Fame in Cooper's Down, check out the city,

0:25:38.080 --> 0:25:40.720
<v Speaker 2>check everything out about it there in Upstate New York.

0:25:40.720 --> 0:25:42.720
<v Speaker 2>It is truly a great time and you'll enjoy it

0:25:42.760 --> 0:25:45.240
<v Speaker 2>and the display of Rick Monday's flag is on there

0:25:45.320 --> 0:25:49.200
<v Speaker 2>as well temporarily this year, so again the fiftieth anniversary

0:25:49.200 --> 0:25:51.920
<v Speaker 2>of that. And Rick was there celebrating this weekend along

0:25:51.960 --> 0:25:55.400
<v Speaker 2>with his family. The three Hall of famers now inducted

0:25:55.400 --> 0:25:57.680
<v Speaker 2>into the Cooperstown Hall of Fame in Major for Major

0:25:57.760 --> 0:26:02.840
<v Speaker 2>League Baseball, of course, Carlos Beltran, you have Andrew Jones

0:26:02.880 --> 0:26:06.320
<v Speaker 2>and Jeff Kent going in next year. We look ahead

0:26:06.359 --> 0:26:11.199
<v Speaker 2>to next year. Who gets in. Chase Utley was the

0:26:11.280 --> 0:26:16.200
<v Speaker 2>closest player who didn't get in this year but could

0:26:16.280 --> 0:26:19.800
<v Speaker 2>get in next year. Is Chase Utley a Hall of Famer?

0:26:21.160 --> 0:26:23.639
<v Speaker 2>You can make a good case that he is. But

0:26:23.800 --> 0:26:26.040
<v Speaker 2>one of the new players eligible to go into the

0:26:26.040 --> 0:26:30.719
<v Speaker 2>Hall of Fame next year is Buster Posey, Giants catcher

0:26:30.760 --> 0:26:34.920
<v Speaker 2>now general manager. Is he a first time ballot Hall

0:26:34.960 --> 0:26:38.600
<v Speaker 2>of Famer in twenty twenty seven. It'll be interesting to

0:26:38.600 --> 0:26:40.919
<v Speaker 2>see if he gets in. John Lester also makes his

0:26:41.000 --> 0:26:45.840
<v Speaker 2>debut on the postseason or the Hall of Fame vote.

0:26:46.000 --> 0:26:49.520
<v Speaker 2>Then you get Ryan Zimmerman, Brett Gardner, Kyle Seger, Jay

0:26:49.560 --> 0:26:54.120
<v Speaker 2>Bruce Sorry not Hall of famers also key return holdovers

0:26:54.160 --> 0:26:56.159
<v Speaker 2>besides Chase Utley, who had fifty nine percent of the

0:26:56.240 --> 0:27:02.080
<v Speaker 2>vote last year, Felix Hernandez King Felix.

0:27:01.760 --> 0:27:03.560
<v Speaker 5>Is he a Hall of Famer?

0:27:04.320 --> 0:27:07.960
<v Speaker 2>Andy Pettitt forty eight percent of the vote this last year,

0:27:09.200 --> 0:27:12.359
<v Speaker 2>ninth years of eligibility going in next year is Hall

0:27:12.400 --> 0:27:12.840
<v Speaker 2>of Famer.

0:27:13.240 --> 0:27:14.840
<v Speaker 5>It's a down year for Hall.

0:27:14.760 --> 0:27:18.199
<v Speaker 2>Of Fame class outside of Buster Posey and Chase Utley.

0:27:18.680 --> 0:27:21.200
<v Speaker 2>I don't see anybody else that gets in in twenty

0:27:21.200 --> 0:27:25.560
<v Speaker 2>twenty seven. And is Buster Posey a first ballot Hall

0:27:25.600 --> 0:27:26.080
<v Speaker 2>of Famer?

0:27:27.520 --> 0:27:28.000
<v Speaker 8>I don't know.

0:27:28.440 --> 0:27:29.800
<v Speaker 5>He's got the championships.

0:27:30.600 --> 0:27:33.320
<v Speaker 2>You know, he's got the numbers, but he's he a

0:27:33.480 --> 0:27:36.080
<v Speaker 2>first ballot Hall of Famer. Is Chase Utley going to

0:27:36.160 --> 0:27:38.479
<v Speaker 2>finally get over the hump and get to that seventy

0:27:38.520 --> 0:27:42.680
<v Speaker 2>five percent vote threshold. We'll find out. Twenty twenty one,

0:27:42.800 --> 0:27:45.040
<v Speaker 2>we didn't have a Hall of Fame class. We did

0:27:45.080 --> 0:27:48.040
<v Speaker 2>have a ceremony that year. No twenty twenty one class

0:27:48.080 --> 0:27:50.679
<v Speaker 2>because nobody met the seventy five percent vote threshold. But

0:27:50.760 --> 0:27:53.159
<v Speaker 2>we did have a ceremony because the twenty twenty class

0:27:53.480 --> 0:27:57.520
<v Speaker 2>with Derek Jeter and Larry Walker and Ted Simmons, Marvin Miller,

0:27:57.640 --> 0:27:59.960
<v Speaker 2>that class in twenty twenty because of COVID had their

0:28:00.040 --> 0:28:02.760
<v Speaker 2>induction ceremony delayed until twenty twenty one, so we did

0:28:02.800 --> 0:28:04.879
<v Speaker 2>have a ceremony that year, but we had nobody from

0:28:04.920 --> 0:28:07.840
<v Speaker 2>the class of twenty twenty one that was elected in

0:28:07.880 --> 0:28:09.560
<v Speaker 2>to the Hall of Fame. So we could be in

0:28:09.560 --> 0:28:13.160
<v Speaker 2>that situation next year in twenty twenty seven, nobody gets

0:28:13.200 --> 0:28:16.119
<v Speaker 2>elected into the Hall of Fame, or as I said,

0:28:16.480 --> 0:28:21.280
<v Speaker 2>two most likely guys that could could get to the

0:28:21.359 --> 0:28:25.280
<v Speaker 2>number is Buster Posey and Chase Utley. Real quick, before

0:28:25.280 --> 0:28:27.440
<v Speaker 2>we say goodbye, don't forget an off night for the

0:28:27.520 --> 0:28:30.280
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers tomorrow. But that doesn't mean there's nothing happening at

0:28:30.280 --> 0:28:34.520
<v Speaker 2>Dodger Stadium. The Los Angeles Sports and Entertainment Commission has

0:28:34.600 --> 0:28:36.720

<v Speaker 2>degrees and beautiful. The weather completely flipped and I don't

0:30:07.800 --> 0:30:08.160
