WEBVTT - Dodger Talk (9-13-26) 

0:00:00.510 --> 0:00:03.029
<v Speaker 1>The quest for the three-peat has begun.

0:00:03.270 --> 0:00:07.230
<v Speaker 2>Only four teams in Major League Baseball history have won

0:00:07.350 --> 0:00:08.930
<v Speaker 2>three consecutive titles.

0:00:09.430 --> 0:00:13.470
<v Speaker 1>The Dodgers are the favorites to become the fifth. This

0:00:13.810 --> 0:00:15.830
<v Speaker 1>is World Champion Dodger Talk.

0:00:15.910 --> 0:00:17.790
<v Speaker 3>Here we go again. We're getting ready to run it back.

0:00:17.810 --> 0:00:22.750
<v Speaker 1>To get in on the show, call 866-987-2570. And be

0:00:22.840 --> 0:00:26.200
<v Speaker 1>sure to follow Dodger Talk wherever you get your podcasts.

0:00:26.780 --> 0:00:30.000
<v Speaker 1>And now your host... Here's Tim Cates.

0:00:31.600 --> 0:00:35.780
<v Speaker 2>Wow, what a disappointing day for the Dodgers in South Florida.

0:00:36.360 --> 0:00:38.820
<v Speaker 2>A day in which the NFL season kicks off with

0:00:38.900 --> 0:00:42.600
<v Speaker 2>its first full Sunday. Everybody excited in the world of sports.

0:00:42.659 --> 0:00:45.659
<v Speaker 2>Certainly the Dodgers excited about the final stretch of the

0:00:45.720 --> 0:00:48.540
<v Speaker 2>season here with a chance to get one game closer

0:00:48.620 --> 0:00:52.760
<v Speaker 2>to clinching their 13th divisional title in the last 14 years.

0:00:52.780 --> 0:00:55.600
<v Speaker 2>A chance to clinch a playoff berth. And it was

0:00:55.700 --> 0:00:58.440
<v Speaker 2>right there for the take. And unfortunately, the Dodgers bullpen

0:00:58.500 --> 0:01:00.030
<v Speaker 2>gave it up in the eighth inning. And then in

0:01:00.070 --> 0:01:03.670
<v Speaker 2>the ninth, a four-run ninth inning from the Marlins. And

0:01:03.710 --> 0:01:07.460
<v Speaker 2>a walk-off two-run home run does end Tanner Scott, Brock Stewart,

0:01:07.480 --> 0:01:10.190
<v Speaker 2>and the Dodgers bullpen. And they lose it 6-4. A

0:01:10.230 --> 0:01:12.210
<v Speaker 2>lot to digest from this one. We'll hear from the manager,

0:01:12.250 --> 0:01:14.390
<v Speaker 2>Dave Roberts, coming up in just a little bit. We'll

0:01:14.410 --> 0:01:16.290
<v Speaker 2>hear from Miguel Rojas as well. But I want to

0:01:16.330 --> 0:01:16.940
<v Speaker 2>hear from you at 866-987-2570.

0:01:16.940 --> 0:01:17.030
<v Speaker 4>866-987-2570.

0:01:17.090 --> 0:01:20.040
<v Speaker 2>If you're listening on AM570 LA Sports or listening around

0:01:20.060 --> 0:01:29.370
<v Speaker 2>the world on the iHeartRadio app. The Dodgers packing up

0:01:29.410 --> 0:01:32.090
<v Speaker 2>and heading to Cincinnati. No doubt one that got away

0:01:32.140 --> 0:01:34.459
<v Speaker 2>from them. A game in which the Dodgers had so

0:01:34.500 --> 0:01:37.660
<v Speaker 2>many positives early on. You got a great outing from

0:01:37.680 --> 0:01:41.460
<v Speaker 2>Emmitt Sheehan. Six shutout innings. He struck out five along

0:01:41.500 --> 0:01:44.959
<v Speaker 2>the way. Very efficient 81 pitches over the six innings.

0:01:45.020 --> 0:01:47.810
<v Speaker 2>Turned it over to a Dodgers bullpen that, quite frankly,

0:01:48.810 --> 0:01:51.210
<v Speaker 2>he deserved better from. In the eighth and ninth inning

0:01:51.230 --> 0:01:53.800
<v Speaker 2>for Bengardo Enriquez and Tanner Scott. A little bit of

0:01:53.820 --> 0:01:56.880
<v Speaker 2>the defense in part from the Dodgers was not up

0:01:56.900 --> 0:02:00.520
<v Speaker 2>to par. Covering first base, a double clutch from Mookie

0:02:00.540 --> 0:02:03.760
<v Speaker 2>Betts extended the eighth inning. So it wasn't all on

0:02:03.780 --> 0:02:06.440
<v Speaker 2>the bullpen. They didn't get some help defensively, but certainly

0:02:06.500 --> 0:02:09.160
<v Speaker 2>a game the Dodgers have to win. There's just no ifs, ands,

0:02:09.180 --> 0:02:11.720
<v Speaker 2>or buts about it. It's the Miami Marlins. You're up

0:02:11.740 --> 0:02:14.430
<v Speaker 2>3-0 going into the eighth inning. All right, it's a

0:02:14.450 --> 0:02:16.690
<v Speaker 2>3-2 game going into the ninth. You score a key

0:02:16.730 --> 0:02:20.170
<v Speaker 2>insurance run on a Mookie Betts RBI double of 4-2,

0:02:20.470 --> 0:02:23.490
<v Speaker 2>and you leave it out there with a walk-off two-run

0:02:23.510 --> 0:02:27.770
<v Speaker 2>home run from Augustine Ramirez. Just cannot happen. Cannot happen

0:02:27.790 --> 0:02:29.690
<v Speaker 2>for this Dodgers team. And a couple of question marks

0:02:29.990 --> 0:02:32.609
<v Speaker 2>to think about moving forward as far as this Dodgers team.

0:02:32.669 --> 0:02:35.900
<v Speaker 2>Josue DiPaola continues to play well in the three games.

0:02:35.960 --> 0:02:38.380
<v Speaker 2>I know it's a small sample size, but he does

0:02:38.419 --> 0:02:41.019
<v Speaker 2>a great job and is at bat, takes walks, gets

0:02:41.080 --> 0:02:43.480
<v Speaker 2>on base. We saw that today with a double in

0:02:43.520 --> 0:02:45.120
<v Speaker 2>his third at bat. We had a walk to lead

0:02:45.160 --> 0:02:46.810
<v Speaker 2>off in his first at bat. And then the three-run

0:02:46.840 --> 0:02:49.370
<v Speaker 2>home run that he clobbered in the fourth inning was huge.

0:02:49.770 --> 0:02:52.510
<v Speaker 2>for the Dodgers offense today, which didn't have much outside

0:02:52.550 --> 0:02:55.070
<v Speaker 2>of Josue DePaul and a couple of other hits. Freddie

0:02:55.110 --> 0:02:57.889
<v Speaker 2>Freeman hit into two double plays, which was not good.

0:02:58.110 --> 0:03:01.430
<v Speaker 2>And Freddie Freeman's knee, certainly a problem. Certainly something to

0:03:01.470 --> 0:03:04.350
<v Speaker 2>think about moving forward for the Dodgers is what to

0:03:04.389 --> 0:03:06.589
<v Speaker 2>do with him. And the time is running out for him.

0:03:06.650 --> 0:03:09.550
<v Speaker 2>He missed a couple of games, didn't play. Came back

0:03:09.730 --> 0:03:12.910
<v Speaker 2>the last two games for the Dodgers, just turned 37.

0:03:12.910 --> 0:03:15.269
<v Speaker 2>And you have to wonder, if that knee is barking

0:03:15.290 --> 0:03:17.790
<v Speaker 2>and that knee is a real problem, would an IEL

0:03:17.810 --> 0:03:20.810
<v Speaker 2>stand of 10 games make sense here in the final

0:03:21.290 --> 0:03:23.610
<v Speaker 2>two weeks of the season? You know, you're about to

0:03:23.650 --> 0:03:27.530
<v Speaker 2>clinch the division. You're about to hold on, hopefully, to

0:03:27.570 --> 0:03:30.300
<v Speaker 2>the second spot in the National League. I mean, the

0:03:30.320 --> 0:03:32.700
<v Speaker 2>loss doesn't help the Dodgers today with the Atlanta Braves,

0:03:33.020 --> 0:03:34.620
<v Speaker 2>you know, two and a half games behind them going

0:03:34.660 --> 0:03:37.840
<v Speaker 2>into action today. You have to keep winning games. It's

0:03:37.880 --> 0:03:39.900
<v Speaker 2>not like they can put it in cruise control. Thankfully,

0:03:39.920 --> 0:03:42.180
<v Speaker 2>the Braves lost today to the Phillies, so the Dodgers

0:03:42.200 --> 0:03:44.600
<v Speaker 2>remain two and a half games up for that second spot.

0:03:44.820 --> 0:03:46.780
<v Speaker 2>And that's a second spot the Dodgers really want to

0:03:46.820 --> 0:03:48.520
<v Speaker 2>hold on to. We'll get into that coming up in

0:03:48.540 --> 0:03:52.180
<v Speaker 2>a couple of minutes. But let's get out to the phones.

0:03:52.200 --> 0:03:52.600
<v Speaker 3>866-987-2570.

0:03:52.640 --> 0:03:55.180
<v Speaker 2>Just not a good day for the Dodgers. A game

0:03:55.200 --> 0:03:57.640
<v Speaker 2>you have to have, a game you do have. through

0:03:57.700 --> 0:03:59.220
<v Speaker 2>eight innings, and you get to the ninth and you

0:03:59.280 --> 0:04:01.660
<v Speaker 2>tack on an insurance run, you've got to win this game.

0:04:01.990 --> 0:04:04.810
<v Speaker 2>You have to win it in Miami and get on

0:04:04.850 --> 0:04:07.410
<v Speaker 2>that flight taking two or three. And if you win

0:04:07.430 --> 0:04:09.470
<v Speaker 2>like you're supposed to, and that Braves team that's lost

0:04:09.490 --> 0:04:11.610
<v Speaker 2>to the Phillies did, you're now three and a half

0:04:11.650 --> 0:04:14.160
<v Speaker 2>games up in the standings as far as the second

0:04:14.180 --> 0:04:16.839
<v Speaker 2>spot in the National League. So a big loss for

0:04:16.860 --> 0:04:18.380
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers where they could have made up some ground.

0:04:18.860 --> 0:04:21.800
<v Speaker 2>in many different ways, winning the division, clinching a playoff spot,

0:04:22.100 --> 0:04:23.920
<v Speaker 2>and picking up a game on the Atlanta Braves. Let's

0:04:23.940 --> 0:04:26.159
<v Speaker 2>go out to Dan in Santa Monica. You're first up

0:04:26.200 --> 0:04:29.580
<v Speaker 2>here on Dodger Talk after a disappointing 6-4 loss to

0:04:29.600 --> 0:04:30.000
<v Speaker 2>the Marlins.

0:04:30.020 --> 0:04:30.640
<v Speaker 1>How you doing, Dan?

0:04:34.060 --> 0:04:36.760
<v Speaker 5>Disappointed like you are, Tim. I thought that was the

0:04:36.839 --> 0:04:41.400
<v Speaker 5>one the Dodgers had. But I got a two-part question

0:04:41.440 --> 0:04:46.390
<v Speaker 5>for you, if that's okay. My first one is, Any

0:04:46.450 --> 0:04:51.010
<v Speaker 5>thought to maybe letting Sheehan go out to start the seventh?

0:04:51.010 --> 0:04:56.919
<v Speaker 5>81 pitches. I know he's maybe, I don't know. I

0:04:56.940 --> 0:04:58.720
<v Speaker 5>thought maybe they might have let him go out. He

0:04:58.760 --> 0:05:03.060
<v Speaker 5>seemed to be pretty good. And my second question is given,

0:05:03.740 --> 0:05:04.160
<v Speaker 5>I'm sorry.

0:05:04.540 --> 0:05:04.920
<v Speaker 1>No, go ahead.

0:05:04.960 --> 0:05:05.220
<v Speaker 3>Go ahead.

0:05:06.600 --> 0:05:10.840
<v Speaker 5>Oh, my second question is given the recent struggles with

0:05:10.920 --> 0:05:15.719
<v Speaker 5>Enriquez and Tanner Scott, any thought of maybe Rokey? going

0:05:15.760 --> 0:05:20.339
<v Speaker 5>back into the closer role. That's a serious question. Tim,

0:05:20.360 --> 0:05:21.320
<v Speaker 5>you have a great weekend.

0:05:21.610 --> 0:05:25.339
<v Speaker 2>You too. I appreciate that. To your first point. and

0:05:25.860 --> 0:05:28.609
<v Speaker 2>whether or not they should have brought back out Emmitt

0:05:28.620 --> 0:05:30.950
<v Speaker 2>Sheen in the seventh inning. It was the 4-5 hitters

0:05:31.470 --> 0:05:33.750
<v Speaker 2>for the Miami Marlins. I mean, you asked him to

0:05:33.790 --> 0:05:36.410
<v Speaker 2>go six. He did a great job. The final nine

0:05:36.510 --> 0:05:39.029
<v Speaker 2>outs and the arms you have down there, I mean,

0:05:39.130 --> 0:05:43.450
<v Speaker 2>in theory, Vessia, Enriquez, and Tanner Scott, that should be

0:05:43.650 --> 0:05:47.150
<v Speaker 2>nine outs right there. That should be a Dodger win.

0:05:47.790 --> 0:05:50.940
<v Speaker 2>You turn it over after six shutout innings to Alex Vecchia.

0:05:51.460 --> 0:05:53.320
<v Speaker 2>He strikes out the first batter, a couple of fly

0:05:53.339 --> 0:05:55.779
<v Speaker 2>ball outs, took him 14 pitches. And now you're down

0:05:55.800 --> 0:05:58.219
<v Speaker 2>to getting the final six outs of the game for

0:05:58.240 --> 0:06:00.420
<v Speaker 2>this Dodgers bullpen. And the fact that they couldn't get

0:06:00.440 --> 0:06:03.260
<v Speaker 2>the final six outs is a problem with the combination

0:06:03.279 --> 0:06:05.370
<v Speaker 2>of the guys they have down there. And everybody keeps

0:06:05.390 --> 0:06:08.870
<v Speaker 2>talking about how Edgardo Enriquez is moving up the trust tree,

0:06:09.190 --> 0:06:13.670
<v Speaker 2>so to speak, with Dave Roberts and Mark Pryor. Well, yeah,

0:06:13.790 --> 0:06:17.250
<v Speaker 2>he had been. But today was a serious setback. Today

0:06:17.290 --> 0:06:20.140
<v Speaker 2>was not a good outing from Edgardo Enriquez. And Tanner Scott,

0:06:20.440 --> 0:06:22.500
<v Speaker 2>I know he was giddy and excited about going back

0:06:22.520 --> 0:06:25.740
<v Speaker 2>to Miami this weekend and was talking to different people

0:06:25.820 --> 0:06:27.599
<v Speaker 2>and got out there today and got out of the

0:06:27.660 --> 0:06:30.679
<v Speaker 2>eighth with the strikeout. But the infield single, the bunt single,

0:06:30.779 --> 0:06:33.490
<v Speaker 2>not covering first, opened the door then, and then a

0:06:33.520 --> 0:06:36.029
<v Speaker 2>two-run double. He comes out of the game, two-run home run,

0:06:36.370 --> 0:06:37.630
<v Speaker 2>and all of a sudden the game's over and he

0:06:37.670 --> 0:06:39.990
<v Speaker 2>has a blown save. So it's got to be better.

0:06:40.270 --> 0:06:42.089
<v Speaker 2>It's got to be a better job by the Dodgers

0:06:42.130 --> 0:06:44.230
<v Speaker 2>bullpen when you get a performance like you did from

0:06:44.290 --> 0:06:47.229
<v Speaker 2>Emmitt Sheehan. And to your second point, Rokey Sasaki in

0:06:47.250 --> 0:06:49.990
<v Speaker 2>the bullpen, it's a serious question now that Dave Roberts

0:06:50.029 --> 0:06:52.630
<v Speaker 2>and this coaching staff has to figure out. When Rokey

0:06:52.680 --> 0:06:55.080
<v Speaker 2>Sasaki comes back, and all signs point to him coming

0:06:55.140 --> 0:06:58.100
<v Speaker 2>back maybe at the third or fourth game of this

0:06:58.460 --> 0:07:02.040
<v Speaker 2>series against the Cincinnati Reds, if that's the case and

0:07:02.080 --> 0:07:05.380
<v Speaker 2>he's coming back, is he as a starter? Is he

0:07:05.400 --> 0:07:08.479
<v Speaker 2>your fourth or fifth starter in the postseason? You don't

0:07:08.520 --> 0:07:11.820
<v Speaker 2>really need that many starters in October. You need really

0:07:12.040 --> 0:07:16.790
<v Speaker 2>three legitimate starters in in a seven-game series. That's all

0:07:16.810 --> 0:07:19.650
<v Speaker 2>you need. And if the Dodgers already have that in

0:07:19.690 --> 0:07:23.450
<v Speaker 2>theory with Yamamoto and Blake Snell and Tarek Skubal, and

0:07:23.470 --> 0:07:25.460
<v Speaker 2>then you got a Tyler Glass now who had a

0:07:26.160 --> 0:07:29.880
<v Speaker 2>pretty bad performance yesterday, is your fourth. Is Sasaki your fifth?

0:07:30.580 --> 0:07:33.040
<v Speaker 2>You don't need a fifth. And if you're not going

0:07:33.060 --> 0:07:35.260
<v Speaker 2>to use him, except for a long relief, why not

0:07:35.490 --> 0:07:38.710
<v Speaker 2>now make him your reliever, your back-end guy to get

0:07:38.750 --> 0:07:41.370
<v Speaker 2>you out, to go along with an Enriquez, to go

0:07:41.410 --> 0:07:43.430
<v Speaker 2>along with a Tanner Scott, to go along with an

0:07:43.510 --> 0:07:46.570
<v Speaker 2>Alex Vestia. That right there would be a dominant, absolutely

0:07:46.730 --> 0:07:50.420
<v Speaker 2>dominant bullpen come October if you can have Roki Sasaki

0:07:50.440 --> 0:07:52.900
<v Speaker 2>on the back end. Whether it's in a high-leverage situation

0:07:52.920 --> 0:07:55.280
<v Speaker 2>in the eighth or whether it's a high-leverage situation to

0:07:55.320 --> 0:07:57.500
<v Speaker 2>close out a game in the ninth inning or extra innings,

0:07:57.820 --> 0:08:00.520
<v Speaker 2>it would be great to have Oroki Sasaki in the bullpen.

0:08:00.540 --> 0:08:02.560
<v Speaker 2>And I think that's a question they need to start

0:08:02.640 --> 0:08:05.060
<v Speaker 2>thinking about. And with him coming off the injured list,

0:08:05.380 --> 0:08:07.600
<v Speaker 2>maybe that is the plan. And if he can come

0:08:07.620 --> 0:08:09.520
<v Speaker 2>back and get a start, it doesn't have to be

0:08:09.580 --> 0:08:12.290
<v Speaker 2>a long start. You can limit him in the pitches

0:08:12.370 --> 0:08:14.050
<v Speaker 2>and how many innings he goes in the next start

0:08:14.350 --> 0:08:16.770
<v Speaker 2>and start whittling him down and getting him ready for

0:08:16.830 --> 0:08:19.190
<v Speaker 2>October baseball. So it's something the Dodgers really need to

0:08:19.210 --> 0:08:21.470
<v Speaker 2>think about moving forward. And I think, you know, as

0:08:21.510 --> 0:08:23.750
<v Speaker 2>the clock ticks in the season here and we're getting

0:08:24.110 --> 0:08:26.190
<v Speaker 2>with less and less games and now just four games

0:08:26.250 --> 0:08:28.230
<v Speaker 2>left on this road trip and You come back for

0:08:28.250 --> 0:08:31.350
<v Speaker 2>the final homestand, it's certainly something to think about for

0:08:31.370 --> 0:08:36.440
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers moving forward. 866-987-2570 is the telephone number as

0:08:36.460 --> 0:08:39.319
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers lose today by a final of 6-4. Dax

0:08:39.400 --> 0:08:42.380
<v Speaker 2>Fulton gets the win in relief. Tanner Scott gets the loss,

0:08:42.460 --> 0:08:45.280
<v Speaker 2>a blown save, and the loss as he falls to 1-6.

0:08:45.700 --> 0:08:49.470
<v Speaker 2>A day in which Mookie Betts extended his on-base streak

0:08:49.950 --> 0:08:54.960
<v Speaker 2>to 21 straight games. Since August 19th, over the last

0:08:54.960 --> 0:08:58.689
<v Speaker 2>21 games, Mookie Betts is hitting. 325 with an OPS

0:08:59.250 --> 0:09:02.870
<v Speaker 2>over 1,000. I mean, bottle that up, keep that, and

0:09:02.890 --> 0:09:05.550
<v Speaker 2>let's move it and take it to October for Mookie

0:09:05.590 --> 0:09:08.720
<v Speaker 2>Betts because he is hitting fantastic right now for this

0:09:08.770 --> 0:09:12.080
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers team. Now, the concern for Freddie Freeman, as we

0:09:12.100 --> 0:09:13.940
<v Speaker 2>discussed with Jose in the Clubhouse show, I think it's

0:09:13.960 --> 0:09:16.929
<v Speaker 2>a legitimate question. whether or not Freddie Freeman maybe needs

0:09:16.970 --> 0:09:19.250
<v Speaker 2>a brief IL stint here down the stretch to get

0:09:19.290 --> 0:09:22.170
<v Speaker 2>him off his legs. If not, maybe just the designated hitter.

0:09:22.309 --> 0:09:24.970
<v Speaker 2>If not, a couple of days off in the Cincinnati series.

0:09:25.270 --> 0:09:27.070
<v Speaker 2>I mean, unfortunately, you don't have a day off and

0:09:27.090 --> 0:09:30.109
<v Speaker 2>then start a series in Cincinnati. You're going right to Cincinnati,

0:09:30.210 --> 0:09:33.569
<v Speaker 2>and you've got a four-game series, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and

0:09:33.590 --> 0:09:36.429
<v Speaker 2>then Thursday, a day game, a getaway game. And you've

0:09:36.450 --> 0:09:38.110
<v Speaker 2>got to come right back home and start a homestand.

0:09:38.130 --> 0:09:42.929
<v Speaker 2>So there's no rest here. Anywhere in there for Freddie Freeman.

0:09:42.950 --> 0:09:45.090
<v Speaker 2>It's not like you can give him off Wednesday or

0:09:45.150 --> 0:09:47.710
<v Speaker 2>Thursday and he's got two days before our weekend series

0:09:47.730 --> 0:09:50.550
<v Speaker 2>back at Uniqlo Field at Dodger Stadium. It just doesn't

0:09:50.590 --> 0:09:53.750
<v Speaker 2>line up that way. So maybe it's in his best

0:09:53.809 --> 0:09:56.369
<v Speaker 2>interest if that knee is barking to keep him on

0:09:56.410 --> 0:09:58.949
<v Speaker 2>an IL stint to let him rest like you're doing

0:09:59.650 --> 0:10:02.099
<v Speaker 2>with a... a Shohei Otani. Dodgers baseball brought to you

0:10:02.120 --> 0:10:05.900
<v Speaker 2>by Modelo. Modelo, the mark of a fighter. Yeah, this

0:10:05.990 --> 0:10:09.369
<v Speaker 2>is a disappointing day for the Dodgers and certainly a

0:10:09.410 --> 0:10:12.189
<v Speaker 2>game in which the Dodgers had in their grasp, need

0:10:12.210 --> 0:10:15.179
<v Speaker 2>to win this game. And, you know, you look at

0:10:15.260 --> 0:10:17.870
<v Speaker 2>the relievers they went to, and you can't say, well,

0:10:17.910 --> 0:10:20.250
<v Speaker 2>they didn't use their high leverage relievers. It's not like

0:10:20.309 --> 0:10:21.390
<v Speaker 2>they used a Tanner Scott.

0:10:21.410 --> 0:10:21.850
<v Speaker 3>Well, they did.

0:10:22.309 --> 0:10:25.819
<v Speaker 2>It's not like they used an Edgardo Enriquez. They used

0:10:25.890 --> 0:10:30.020
<v Speaker 2>Edgardo Enriquez. Well, Brock Stewart. It's an interesting question because

0:10:30.080 --> 0:10:32.870
<v Speaker 2>right now Brock Stewart, at least on my Twitter timeline,

0:10:33.500 --> 0:10:35.910
<v Speaker 2>is getting it because of what he did in coming

0:10:35.970 --> 0:10:39.150
<v Speaker 2>up and serving up the two-run home run. Brock Stewart's

0:10:39.190 --> 0:10:42.110
<v Speaker 2>one of those guys that when he's on and he's

0:10:42.150 --> 0:10:45.270
<v Speaker 2>got the bite on his slider, he's nasty. But today

0:10:45.840 --> 0:10:47.760
<v Speaker 2>he got hit, and he got hit right away, and

0:10:47.800 --> 0:10:50.260
<v Speaker 2>it was a ball game over in favor of the

0:10:50.280 --> 0:10:53.700
<v Speaker 2>Miami Marlins in the 6-1 win. So a disappointing day

0:10:53.900 --> 0:10:55.969
<v Speaker 2>for the Dodgers' bullpen, a game in which they had

0:10:56.000 --> 0:10:58.760
<v Speaker 2>to have taking two or three in Miami, because now

0:10:58.800 --> 0:11:02.020
<v Speaker 2>you look at what Atlanta did. I mean, the Dodgers

0:11:02.059 --> 0:11:04.459
<v Speaker 2>had a golden opportunity to pick up another game on

0:11:04.480 --> 0:11:07.540
<v Speaker 2>the Atlanta Braves for that second spot in the National League,

0:11:07.830 --> 0:11:10.830
<v Speaker 2>and they let it get away. Image Sheehan, six scoreless innings.

0:11:11.210 --> 0:11:13.190
<v Speaker 2>Josue DePaula, two for two with a home run and

0:11:13.210 --> 0:11:15.189
<v Speaker 2>a double. And how do you not like the swag

0:11:15.230 --> 0:11:18.050
<v Speaker 2>of Josue DePaula? You know, I'm a guy who, I

0:11:18.070 --> 0:11:21.160
<v Speaker 2>fully admit it, I don't like the trash talking. I

0:11:21.200 --> 0:11:23.500
<v Speaker 2>don't like the crooked hats on the mound. You know,

0:11:23.520 --> 0:11:25.660
<v Speaker 2>I'm just not a big guy in favor of that

0:11:25.679 --> 0:11:28.710
<v Speaker 2>kind of stuff. But you know what? Credit to Josue DiPaola.

0:11:28.990 --> 0:11:31.450
<v Speaker 2>Hit the home run, thumping the chest, showing the power.

0:11:31.730 --> 0:11:32.330
<v Speaker 2>And you know what?

0:11:32.470 --> 0:11:33.069
<v Speaker 3>He deserved it.

0:11:33.130 --> 0:11:33.510
<v Speaker 5>You know why?

0:11:33.530 --> 0:11:39.030
<v Speaker 2>He hit the ball 416 feet. 416 feet into the

0:11:39.110 --> 0:11:43.410
<v Speaker 2>second deck there at Lone Depot Park in Miami to

0:11:44.370 --> 0:11:46.970
<v Speaker 2>get the home run and turn to the Dodgers dugout.

0:11:47.030 --> 0:11:48.500
<v Speaker 2>It was kind of fun to hear him talk about

0:11:48.520 --> 0:11:51.300
<v Speaker 2>it with the assembled media there in the clubhouse, including

0:11:51.320 --> 0:11:54.160
<v Speaker 2>David Vasse, talking about how excited he was and the

0:11:54.500 --> 0:11:57.340
<v Speaker 2>emotions got to him. And he's looking to build on that.

0:11:57.380 --> 0:11:59.720
<v Speaker 2>And he can't wait to continue to do that and

0:11:59.760 --> 0:12:01.260
<v Speaker 2>produce and be a part of this team. And he

0:12:01.300 --> 0:12:04.330
<v Speaker 2>also said something that was very interesting about how, you know,

0:12:04.890 --> 0:12:08.070
<v Speaker 2>was anything surprised you? about being at the big league level,

0:12:08.150 --> 0:12:10.410
<v Speaker 2>about being in the big leagues for three games in

0:12:10.450 --> 0:12:13.490
<v Speaker 2>the series of Miami. And he talked about the clubhouse

0:12:13.970 --> 0:12:16.370
<v Speaker 2>and this team. And again, this is a veteran team

0:12:16.390 --> 0:12:19.260
<v Speaker 2>with so many guys who have won and played in

0:12:19.340 --> 0:12:22.959
<v Speaker 2>October the last few years, have won championships wherever they've been,

0:12:22.980 --> 0:12:26.979
<v Speaker 2>whether it's Mookie or Freddie. I mean, this is a

0:12:27.040 --> 0:12:29.300
<v Speaker 2>team that's got experience and guys who have seen a lot.

0:12:29.740 --> 0:12:32.880
<v Speaker 2>And now to see a Josue DePaula come in and

0:12:33.380 --> 0:12:37.960
<v Speaker 2>be welcomed in the way he was in these last

0:12:38.000 --> 0:12:41.840
<v Speaker 2>three games, it's pretty impressive to see what the Dodgers

0:12:42.540 --> 0:12:44.790
<v Speaker 2>do to surround these young players like they do. I'll

0:12:44.830 --> 0:12:46.870
<v Speaker 2>sway the ball in for him to feel that love

0:12:46.929 --> 0:12:50.050
<v Speaker 2>and to feel and be embraced like he has been

0:12:50.070 --> 0:12:52.370
<v Speaker 2>these first three games. I'm excited to see what he

0:12:52.390 --> 0:12:55.270
<v Speaker 2>does in Cincinnati over the next four days because he'll

0:12:55.290 --> 0:12:56.900
<v Speaker 2>be in the lineup. He was in the lineup in

0:12:56.920 --> 0:12:59.160
<v Speaker 2>left field today. There's no doubt he'll be in the

0:12:59.200 --> 0:13:02.440
<v Speaker 2>lineup moving forward for Dave Roberts as he is up.

0:13:02.559 --> 0:13:04.589
<v Speaker 2>And when he's up, he's going to play as long

0:13:04.630 --> 0:13:06.970
<v Speaker 2>as he's up with this Dodgers team. So very exciting

0:13:07.350 --> 0:13:10.870
<v Speaker 2>for Josue DiPaola. Unfortunately, in a losing effort today as

0:13:10.890 --> 0:13:14.420
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers get beat by the Marlins 6-4. Dax Fulton

0:13:14.460 --> 0:13:17.680
<v Speaker 2>gets the win. Tanner Scott gets the loss. We'll hear

0:13:17.700 --> 0:13:20.300
<v Speaker 2>from Miguel Rojas coming up in just a little bit.

0:13:20.640 --> 0:13:23.839
<v Speaker 2>As again, the Dodgers drop 2-3 in Miami, and it

0:13:23.900 --> 0:13:25.620
<v Speaker 2>had an opportunity to pick up a game on the

0:13:25.640 --> 0:13:27.790
<v Speaker 2>Atlanta Braves for that second spot in the National League.

0:13:28.090 --> 0:13:30.210
<v Speaker 2>That doesn't happen, and also another day in which the

0:13:30.230 --> 0:13:33.050
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers will have to wait to celebrate clinching a playoff

0:13:33.090 --> 0:13:37.620
<v Speaker 2>spot and getting one game closer to clenching their 13th

0:13:37.700 --> 0:13:44.050
<v Speaker 2>divisional title in the last 14 years. 866-987-2570 is the number.

0:13:44.090 --> 0:13:46.630
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers head to Cincinnati, and look who it is. Tarek

0:13:46.650 --> 0:13:49.380
<v Speaker 2>Skubal on the mound in the series opener tomorrow. Yoshinobu

0:13:49.400 --> 0:13:53.170
<v Speaker 2>Yamamoto will go on Tuesday. Keep hearing about Roki Sasaki

0:13:53.190 --> 0:13:56.070
<v Speaker 2>throwing a bullpen session and could be activated for Wednesday

0:13:56.110 --> 0:14:00.600
<v Speaker 2>or Thursday in Cincinnati. Again, I don't have any problem

0:14:00.620 --> 0:14:02.840
<v Speaker 2>with him coming back to the rotation, and I don't

0:14:02.880 --> 0:14:05.199
<v Speaker 2>worry about him in that role, but it will certainly

0:14:05.220 --> 0:14:07.219
<v Speaker 2>be interesting to see if he can come and be

0:14:07.280 --> 0:14:09.360
<v Speaker 2>a reliever as well. All right, let's head back out

0:14:09.400 --> 0:14:12.950
<v Speaker 2>to Miami. Certainly, I can't imagine Day Roberts too happy

0:14:12.970 --> 0:14:14.890
<v Speaker 2>with the outcome of this game as the Dodgers give

0:14:14.929 --> 0:14:16.349
<v Speaker 2>up four runs in the bottom of the ninth, and

0:14:16.370 --> 0:14:18.970
<v Speaker 2>they lose to the Marlins 6-4. Let's head back out

0:14:18.990 --> 0:14:21.110
<v Speaker 2>to Home Depot Park and check in with the Dodger Skipper.

0:14:21.810 --> 0:14:24.950
<v Speaker 6>Um, well, I, you know, it honestly is, I thought, uh,

0:14:25.070 --> 0:14:28.070
<v Speaker 6>offensively we were good today, um, scored enough to win. Um,

0:14:28.990 --> 0:14:31.970
<v Speaker 6>I thought Emma threw the baseball really well. And, um,

0:14:33.650 --> 0:14:37.100
<v Speaker 6>you know, I think, you know, quite honestly is, you know,

0:14:37.120 --> 0:14:40.340
<v Speaker 6>Edgardo's inning, you know, Mookie couldn't come up with a

0:14:40.360 --> 0:14:44.080
<v Speaker 6>ball with the exchange and that led to some runs. Um,

0:14:44.320 --> 0:14:46.660
<v Speaker 6>and then right there, that's a PFP that Freddie made

0:14:46.680 --> 0:14:49.870
<v Speaker 6>an errant throw and, you know, Xavier's on, then they

0:14:50.050 --> 0:14:53.030
<v Speaker 6>get a bunt base hit that's perfectly placed. And then

0:14:53.050 --> 0:14:55.960
<v Speaker 6>Sanoa hits a ball that's jammed, but over the third

0:14:56.000 --> 0:14:58.680
<v Speaker 6>baseman's head. And that's kind of how it happens. But, um,

0:14:59.300 --> 0:15:02.920
<v Speaker 6>you know, you give a team extra outs, that's what happens. Um,

0:15:03.340 --> 0:15:06.260
<v Speaker 6>and so I don't think it was, you know, it's

0:15:06.280 --> 0:15:07.440
<v Speaker 6>just kind of, it's baseball.

0:15:07.560 --> 0:15:10.440
<v Speaker 3>It's, it sucks. It feels bad, but you know, that's

0:15:10.920 --> 0:15:11.440
<v Speaker 3>part of the game.

0:15:11.920 --> 0:15:14.200
<v Speaker 4>You mentioned the offense to be able to see Oswego

0:15:14.220 --> 0:15:16.460
<v Speaker 4>to Paula with Just the quality of the bats that

0:15:16.500 --> 0:15:18.740
<v Speaker 4>he's had since making his major league debut, for him

0:15:18.900 --> 0:15:21.230
<v Speaker 4>to get a swing like that three-run homer, how big

0:15:21.260 --> 0:15:23.370
<v Speaker 4>is that for a young guy? And just how cool

0:15:23.410 --> 0:15:24.530
<v Speaker 4>is it to see him have that moment?

0:15:24.610 --> 0:15:25.690
<v Speaker 3>It was a great, great moment.

0:15:26.770 --> 0:15:30.450
<v Speaker 6>You know, getting behind the count, fouling pitches off, staying

0:15:30.470 --> 0:15:33.290
<v Speaker 6>in the count, getting to a good count, hitting a

0:15:33.310 --> 0:15:38.380
<v Speaker 6>poolside homer. Actually a pretty executed pitch, pretty well executed pitch,

0:15:38.460 --> 0:15:41.359
<v Speaker 6>but that was great. And then almost hit another one

0:15:41.380 --> 0:15:44.440
<v Speaker 6>off the wall. So just a great day, got a walk.

0:15:44.700 --> 0:15:48.540
<v Speaker 6>So had a perfect day and a lot of youthful

0:15:48.600 --> 0:15:51.120
<v Speaker 6>enthusiasm and really uplifting.

0:15:53.140 --> 0:15:55.380
<v Speaker 3>This was maybe the most uncomfortable we've seen Freddie Freeman

0:15:55.400 --> 0:15:57.710
<v Speaker 3>look as of late. You mentioned the error or the

0:15:58.000 --> 0:16:00.830
<v Speaker 3>misplay in the ninth as well. What's your understanding of

0:16:00.850 --> 0:16:03.410
<v Speaker 3>where Freddie's at? Is there concern that he's not recovering.

0:16:03.070 --> 0:16:03.750
<v Speaker 1>As well as you'd like?

0:16:05.080 --> 0:16:06.280
<v Speaker 3>I don't know.

0:16:06.380 --> 0:16:09.720
<v Speaker 6>Just talking to him today, he said he felt good. Obviously,

0:16:09.780 --> 0:16:14.060
<v Speaker 6>the swings don't indicate that, don't kind of validate that.

0:16:14.960 --> 0:16:17.440
<v Speaker 3>On the defense, yeah, I mean, I don't know.

0:16:17.480 --> 0:16:22.690
<v Speaker 6>He's obviously not moving as well as he's used to. But, yeah,

0:16:22.710 --> 0:16:25.310
<v Speaker 6>I mean, I'll have him down tomorrow, give him a

0:16:25.330 --> 0:16:27.410
<v Speaker 6>chance to recover today, then have you back in there

0:16:27.470 --> 0:16:31.900
<v Speaker 6>on Tuesday. But, yeah, I think that he's doing anything

0:16:31.940 --> 0:16:36.800
<v Speaker 6>and everything he can to prepare. But, yeah, you know,

0:16:36.820 --> 0:16:39.790
<v Speaker 6>I think the last week it's pretty obvious that he's

0:16:39.830 --> 0:16:41.250
<v Speaker 6>not himself in the box.

0:16:42.130 --> 0:16:44.910
<v Speaker 3>How concerned are you about Rojas' shoulder? You said he

0:16:44.950 --> 0:16:46.290
<v Speaker 3>might get an injection tomorrow.

0:16:46.310 --> 0:16:48.110
<v Speaker 7>Do you feel like this may keep him out for

0:16:48.150 --> 0:16:49.310
<v Speaker 7>an extended period of time?

0:16:50.130 --> 0:16:50.670
<v Speaker 3>I hope not.

0:16:52.150 --> 0:16:54.360
<v Speaker 6>You know, we've got two lefties here this next series,

0:16:54.390 --> 0:16:57.100
<v Speaker 6>so whatever he can give us would be helpful.

0:16:58.040 --> 0:16:59.420
<v Speaker 3>But obviously he's got to be healthy.

0:16:59.540 --> 0:17:03.140
<v Speaker 6>So that's more of the training staff thing, decision, and

0:17:03.180 --> 0:17:07.439
<v Speaker 6>I'm sure that tomorrow, kind of late morning, I'll get

0:17:07.480 --> 0:17:08.940
<v Speaker 6>a text from him or the trainer to see how

0:17:08.960 --> 0:17:11.869
<v Speaker 6>he's feeling. And then I'll make a decision, you know,

0:17:12.010 --> 0:17:12.710
<v Speaker 6>early afternoon.

0:17:13.550 --> 0:17:16.150
<v Speaker 3>There's so many guys dealing with stuff.

0:17:16.330 --> 0:17:18.890
<v Speaker 2>How hard is it to balance that you want them

0:17:18.930 --> 0:17:19.750
<v Speaker 2>to be healthy, but.

0:17:19.650 --> 0:17:23.790
<v Speaker 4>You also are playing for seeding and guys want to be.

0:17:23.760 --> 0:17:25.520
<v Speaker 2>On a roll going into the postseason?

0:17:25.690 --> 0:17:27.620
<v Speaker 3>How are you juggling all of those things?

0:17:27.760 --> 0:17:30.840
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, it is kind of a juggling in the sense of,

0:17:31.300 --> 0:17:33.020
<v Speaker 6>you know, the most important thing is to win games.

0:17:34.950 --> 0:17:37.590
<v Speaker 6>The other important part of it is to get guys

0:17:37.630 --> 0:17:40.300
<v Speaker 6>healthy or keep them healthy to get them ready for

0:17:40.320 --> 0:17:43.960
<v Speaker 6>the stretch run. And they both work hand in hand, obviously.

0:17:44.040 --> 0:17:48.160
<v Speaker 6>And then the other part is guys are vying for roles, opportunities.

0:17:48.440 --> 0:17:51.379
<v Speaker 6>So the depth we do have is huge. And just

0:17:51.400 --> 0:17:53.920
<v Speaker 6>like even today, to be able to bring in Kike

0:17:54.280 --> 0:17:56.980
<v Speaker 6>for defense and then him take the at-bat to feel

0:17:57.020 --> 0:18:01.660
<v Speaker 6>good about his base hit, that's great. And to get

0:18:02.320 --> 0:18:04.440
<v Speaker 6>you know, Tay off his feet, Tommy off his feet

0:18:04.480 --> 0:18:07.030
<v Speaker 6>for eight innings, you know, to be able to kind

0:18:07.070 --> 0:18:09.550
<v Speaker 6>of balance out the catching. So all those things are

0:18:09.570 --> 0:18:11.669
<v Speaker 6>helpful while, all the while still trying to.

0:18:11.869 --> 0:18:14.410
<v Speaker 3>You know, win games. But yeah, today was a, today

0:18:14.430 --> 0:18:15.100
<v Speaker 3>was a crappy one.

0:18:15.670 --> 0:18:15.869
<v Speaker 5>All right.

0:18:15.890 --> 0:18:19.550
<v Speaker 2>There's a manager, Dave Roberts, certainly not happy after today's

0:18:19.670 --> 0:18:22.570
<v Speaker 2>loss as the Dodgers bullpen gave it up after a

0:18:22.630 --> 0:18:26.669
<v Speaker 2>strong performance from image. She and six shutout innings, and

0:18:26.690 --> 0:18:28.359
<v Speaker 2>then a three run home run from host way to

0:18:28.400 --> 0:18:30.720
<v Speaker 2>Paula is first in the big leagues. His first hit,

0:18:31.090 --> 0:18:33.510
<v Speaker 2>in the big leagues as well, is spoiled thanks to

0:18:33.530 --> 0:18:35.930
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers' bullpen, which gives up two runs in the eighth,

0:18:36.030 --> 0:18:38.590
<v Speaker 2>four in the ninth, as the Dodgers get walked off

0:18:38.609 --> 0:18:44.869
<v Speaker 2>by the Marlins 6-4. 866-987-2570 is our number. 866-987-2570 is

0:18:45.090 --> 0:18:45.370
<v Speaker 2>the number.

0:18:45.390 --> 0:18:45.910
<v Speaker 1>We'll take a break.

0:18:45.930 --> 0:18:47.550
<v Speaker 2>We'll come back. We'll get to more of your phone

0:18:47.590 --> 0:18:51.030
<v Speaker 2>calls as Dodger Talk continues. Dodgers lose in Miami. They

0:18:51.070 --> 0:18:54.600
<v Speaker 2>fall to the Marlins 6-4 right here on AM570 LA Sports,

0:18:54.630 --> 0:18:56.590

<v Speaker 1>Hey, it's Teosca Hernandez. This is Dodger Stock.

<v Speaker 7>the iHeartRadio app.

0:19:14.630 --> 0:19:20.470
<v Speaker 1>Here comes a 2-2 offer from Perez. And DePaula swings,

0:19:20.530 --> 0:19:23.359
<v Speaker 1>hits a drive to right field and deep. It is back.

0:19:23.900 --> 0:19:26.660
<v Speaker 1>It is in the upper deck for a home run.

0:19:26.880 --> 0:19:31.419
<v Speaker 4>The first major league hit for Josue DePaula is a

0:19:31.520 --> 0:19:33.060
<v Speaker 4>three-run home run.

0:19:34.740 --> 0:19:38.050
<v Speaker 2>Josue DiPaolo, welcome to the big leagues, young man. His

0:19:38.130 --> 0:19:41.650
<v Speaker 2>first big league hit is a home run, 416 feet

0:19:42.070 --> 0:19:44.810
<v Speaker 2>into the second deck there at Lone Depot Park, giving

0:19:44.830 --> 0:19:47.330
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers a 3-0 lead, but the Dodgers would give

0:19:47.390 --> 0:19:48.870
<v Speaker 2>up the lead in the 8th and 9th, a 4-0 lead.

0:19:50.410 --> 0:19:50.730
<v Speaker 5>9th inning.

0:19:50.770 --> 0:19:53.990
<v Speaker 2>A walk-off Augustine Ramirez 2-run home run wins it for

0:19:54.030 --> 0:19:57.080
<v Speaker 2>the Marlins 6-4. Daniels Jewelers presents the home run forecast

0:20:06.740 --> 0:20:09.340
<v Speaker 2>Fulton the win in relief. Tanner Scott gets the loss.

0:20:09.859 --> 0:20:12.119
<v Speaker 2>After a great outing from Emmitt Sheehan, in which he

0:20:12.160 --> 0:20:14.790
<v Speaker 2>goes six shutout innings, striking out five. We mentioned it,

0:20:14.830 --> 0:20:18.510
<v Speaker 2>Emmitt Sheehan, his last two starts since getting recalled from AAA.

0:20:18.530 --> 0:20:22.230
<v Speaker 2>11-2 third combined innings, one earned run, five hits, 15 strikeouts,

0:20:22.650 --> 0:20:26.830
<v Speaker 2>and only two walks. Love those numbers for Emmitt Sheehan

0:20:26.970 --> 0:20:28.950
<v Speaker 2>in his return, looking like the Emmitt Sheehan of the

0:20:28.990 --> 0:20:30.340
<v Speaker 2>first few months.

0:20:30.520 --> 0:20:31.620
<v Speaker 3>Of this season.

0:20:31.660 --> 0:20:34.400
<v Speaker 2>Miguel Rojas made his final trip back, what we think

0:20:34.460 --> 0:20:36.620
<v Speaker 2>is his final trip back, to Miami, where he played

0:20:36.640 --> 0:20:38.719
<v Speaker 2>for the Marlins after a Billing for the Dodgers when

0:20:38.740 --> 0:20:40.859
<v Speaker 2>he came up, making his return. He says he's going

0:20:40.880 --> 0:20:42.300
<v Speaker 2>to retire at the end of the year. We'll find

0:20:42.340 --> 0:20:44.200
<v Speaker 2>out if he officially does, but this is the last

0:20:44.220 --> 0:20:46.929
<v Speaker 2>time the Dodgers are there here in 2026. Let's head

0:20:46.950 --> 0:20:49.850
<v Speaker 2>back out to Miami. Let's hear from Miguel Rojas postgame.

0:20:50.340 --> 0:20:52.619
<v Speaker 4>Let's start with how you're feeling. When you kind of

0:20:52.640 --> 0:20:54.500
<v Speaker 4>landed on that shoulder, it looks pretty painful. How's your

0:20:54.520 --> 0:20:55.219
<v Speaker 4>arm feeling right now?

0:20:55.460 --> 0:20:58.840
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, it's really sore right now. We will wait until

0:20:59.900 --> 0:21:02.340
<v Speaker 7>tomorrow morning. I will get a bunch of treatment and

0:21:02.680 --> 0:21:04.540
<v Speaker 7>see what the doctors and.

0:21:04.940 --> 0:21:05.820
<v Speaker 3>The medical staff say.

0:21:05.980 --> 0:21:09.699
<v Speaker 7>I'm pretty sure I'm probably going to get an injection.

0:21:11.200 --> 0:21:12.699
<v Speaker 7>This is not going to be something new for me.

0:21:12.740 --> 0:21:16.200
<v Speaker 7>I played through some shoulder pain before and kind of

0:21:16.240 --> 0:21:19.450
<v Speaker 7>like what I felt in that play is my lever

0:21:19.510 --> 0:21:21.510
<v Speaker 7>and tear that I have on my right shoulder kind

0:21:21.550 --> 0:21:24.109
<v Speaker 7>of like maybe got a little bigger or it got

0:21:24.150 --> 0:21:27.960
<v Speaker 7>worse because I felt a little bit of a pop

0:21:28.920 --> 0:21:29.680
<v Speaker 7>on the back of my shoulder.

0:21:29.720 --> 0:21:30.940
<v Speaker 3>So we'll see.

0:21:31.750 --> 0:21:34.449
<v Speaker 7>Till tomorrow and see how it feels, uh, um, in

0:21:34.470 --> 0:21:36.010
<v Speaker 7>the next 24, 48 hours.

0:21:36.050 --> 0:21:39.250
<v Speaker 3>But, uh, um, looking forward to, bounce back as soon

0:21:39.270 --> 0:21:39.710
<v Speaker 3>as possible.

0:21:39.930 --> 0:21:41.469
<v Speaker 4>Can you say you felt a little pop, like kind

0:21:41.490 --> 0:21:43.330
<v Speaker 4>of popping out of its socket there, or just maybe

0:21:43.350 --> 0:21:44.409
<v Speaker 4>that more labrum-ish?

0:21:44.710 --> 0:21:45.390
<v Speaker 3>I think, I think it's.

0:21:45.330 --> 0:21:47.890
<v Speaker 7>More of the labrum, uh, because I, I didn't really

0:21:47.910 --> 0:21:51.180
<v Speaker 7>slide when I, when I dove headfirst right there. It was, uh,

0:21:51.580 --> 0:21:53.919
<v Speaker 7>I got stuck on the, on the artificial grass and

0:21:53.940 --> 0:21:56.070
<v Speaker 7>kind of like I felt it right away. But, uh,

0:21:56.220 --> 0:21:58.260
<v Speaker 7>that's something that I know kind of like it happens

0:21:58.280 --> 0:21:58.940
<v Speaker 7>to me in the past.

0:21:59.720 --> 0:22:01.550
<v Speaker 3>Um, I mean, it's that time of.

0:22:01.530 --> 0:22:04.109
<v Speaker 7>The year when you will do whatever is possible to

0:22:04.150 --> 0:22:06.630
<v Speaker 7>stay on the roster, to stay on the lineup and

0:22:07.210 --> 0:22:10.820
<v Speaker 7>kind of like play through minor stuff. I don't think

0:22:10.840 --> 0:22:12.860
<v Speaker 7>this is going to sideline me for a while. But

0:22:13.560 --> 0:22:17.920
<v Speaker 7>at the same time, I got to be responsible.

0:22:17.460 --> 0:22:18.980
<v Speaker 3>And see how I feel tomorrow and the next day.

0:22:19.600 --> 0:22:21.420
<v Speaker 3>Do you guys get an MRI on it tomorrow? I

0:22:21.420 --> 0:22:23.600
<v Speaker 3>don't think so. It's more of the same.

0:22:23.660 --> 0:22:25.919
<v Speaker 7>I feel like I already have a labrum there that

0:22:25.960 --> 0:22:28.790
<v Speaker 7>I know is there. On my right shoulder, it's going

0:22:28.810 --> 0:22:31.110
<v Speaker 7>to be kind of like pain tolerance, to be honest

0:22:31.130 --> 0:22:34.790
<v Speaker 7>with you. I don't think there's a benefit for my

0:22:34.810 --> 0:22:38.290
<v Speaker 7>MRI if I can still throw and I can still

0:22:38.330 --> 0:22:39.790
<v Speaker 7>hit with some pain.

0:22:39.910 --> 0:22:41.619
<v Speaker 3>Probably, I don't know.

0:22:41.690 --> 0:22:43.719
<v Speaker 7>I don't want to make any assumptions of what we're

0:22:43.740 --> 0:22:47.320
<v Speaker 7>going to do, but maybe an injection or something like

0:22:47.340 --> 0:22:49.240
<v Speaker 7>that to make me feel better and to calm down.

0:22:49.980 --> 0:22:52.800
<v Speaker 2>How do you not love Miguel Rojas? Guy just wants

0:22:52.840 --> 0:22:55.449
<v Speaker 2>to play. Guy just wants to stay out on the

0:22:55.490 --> 0:22:57.709
<v Speaker 2>field and be there for his teammates. So he'll get

0:22:57.750 --> 0:23:00.270
<v Speaker 2>it evaluated again tomorrow. That happened late in the game.

0:23:00.290 --> 0:23:03.190
<v Speaker 2>A ball up the middle, went diving for it on

0:23:03.230 --> 0:23:05.990
<v Speaker 2>a ball that was right between him and Mookie Betts.

0:23:06.490 --> 0:23:10.240
<v Speaker 2>And he went face first, chest first, diving for the ball,

0:23:10.520 --> 0:23:12.700
<v Speaker 2>both hands out like a Superman dive with the glove

0:23:12.760 --> 0:23:15.679
<v Speaker 2>on his left hand. And the way his hand kind

0:23:15.700 --> 0:23:17.240
<v Speaker 2>of got stuck in the dirt a little bit, his

0:23:17.300 --> 0:23:20.199
<v Speaker 2>right hand, and his shoulder just opened up a little bit.

0:23:20.220 --> 0:23:22.190
<v Speaker 2>You see it all the time, almost like what happened

0:23:22.250 --> 0:23:26.130
<v Speaker 2>to Shohei Otani last year, or two years ago, against

0:23:26.170 --> 0:23:28.310
<v Speaker 2>the Yankees in the World Series when he was stealing

0:23:28.369 --> 0:23:32.409
<v Speaker 2>second there and hurt his shoulder. Not to that extent, certainly,

0:23:32.490 --> 0:23:34.109
<v Speaker 2>but you can see the similarities as far as the

0:23:34.490 --> 0:23:37.639
<v Speaker 2>awkward landing and the way his shoulder positioned there on

0:23:37.660 --> 0:23:38.020
<v Speaker 2>the field.

0:23:38.080 --> 0:23:38.660
<v Speaker 1>Stayed in the game.

0:23:39.220 --> 0:23:41.060
<v Speaker 2>Says it's sore and will be reevaluated tomorrow. But you

0:23:41.080 --> 0:23:43.619
<v Speaker 2>just love Miguel Rojas wanting to stay out there and

0:23:43.660 --> 0:23:46.340
<v Speaker 2>wanting to stay off the injured list here at the

0:23:46.440 --> 0:23:49.159
<v Speaker 2>end of the season. Izzy in Anaheim. Wrap things up

0:23:49.200 --> 0:23:51.250
<v Speaker 2>here on this Sunday afternoon before we say goodbye. Izzy,

0:23:51.270 --> 0:23:51.609
<v Speaker 2>how are you?

0:23:53.369 --> 0:23:57.429
<v Speaker 8>Depressed. When are the Dodgers going to wake up? It's

0:23:57.810 --> 0:24:02.389
<v Speaker 8>September 15th. I mean, come on, guys. And listen, I

0:24:02.450 --> 0:24:05.560
<v Speaker 8>know it's hard, baseball is hard, but you're right, Tim.

0:24:05.650 --> 0:24:09.020
<v Speaker 8>There was no reason losing this game. No reason not

0:24:09.080 --> 0:24:13.360
<v Speaker 8>even winning the series. I'm just... I don't know what

0:24:13.400 --> 0:24:14.340
<v Speaker 8>to think anymore.

0:24:14.359 --> 0:24:17.619
<v Speaker 2>I think that sort of sums things up right there

0:24:17.640 --> 0:24:20.030
<v Speaker 2>when you say, that sort of sums it up.

0:24:21.350 --> 0:24:26.210
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, I just It's ridiculous. And the bullpen. And Tanner

0:24:26.230 --> 0:24:33.410
<v Speaker 8>Scott and Brock Stewart, both of you, you guys need

0:24:33.430 --> 0:24:37.250
<v Speaker 8>to wake up too. So, anyway, I don't know.

0:24:37.630 --> 0:24:38.450
<v Speaker 3>All right, Izzy.

0:24:38.490 --> 0:24:42.280
<v Speaker 2>Great to hear from you. It'll be okay. Brock Stewart

0:24:42.320 --> 0:24:44.419
<v Speaker 2>pitched well the other night. I appreciate it, Izzy. On

0:24:44.460 --> 0:24:46.419
<v Speaker 2>Friday night, he pitched an inning and relief in the

0:24:46.460 --> 0:24:48.939
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers 6-2 win. Gave up a couple of hits, a strikeout. But,

0:24:49.320 --> 0:24:51.340
<v Speaker 2>you know, this was the first runs given up by

0:24:51.400 --> 0:24:55.110
<v Speaker 2>Brock Stewart. in over a week. This is his, what, one, two, three, four,

0:24:55.630 --> 0:24:57.830
<v Speaker 2>fifth time he's been used in the last week, and

0:24:57.890 --> 0:24:59.990
<v Speaker 2>the first time he's given up runs since the game

0:25:00.040 --> 0:25:03.360
<v Speaker 2>against the Cardinals back on September 2nd. All right, that's

0:25:03.380 --> 0:25:06.460
<v Speaker 2>going to do it for postgame Dodger talk. Many thanks

0:25:06.500 --> 0:25:09.020
<v Speaker 2>to Collin E., the best of the best. Really appreciate

0:25:09.060 --> 0:25:11.220
<v Speaker 2>him today. Appreciate all you Dodger fans for being a

0:25:11.240 --> 0:25:13.590
<v Speaker 2>part of the show, whether you're listening live or you're

0:25:13.609 --> 0:25:16.980
<v Speaker 2>podcasting the show. On the iHeartRadio app, we certainly appreciate

0:25:17.020 --> 0:25:19.340
<v Speaker 2>that as well. Tough one for the Dodgers. They fall

0:25:19.359 --> 0:25:21.400
<v Speaker 2>to the Marlins 6-4, a game in which they led,

0:25:21.720 --> 0:25:23.580
<v Speaker 2>a game in which Emmitt Sheehan had six shutout innings,

0:25:23.880 --> 0:25:27.240
<v Speaker 2>a game in which Jose Osweita-Paula hit a three-run home run,

0:25:27.260 --> 0:25:29.360
<v Speaker 2>his first hit, his first home run. But it all

0:25:29.400 --> 0:25:31.859
<v Speaker 2>comes at a losing effort as the Marlins come all

0:25:31.880 --> 0:25:33.840
<v Speaker 2>the way back with four in the ninth and beat

0:25:33.859 --> 0:25:36.600
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers 6-4. Dodgers flying to Cincinnati right back at

0:25:36.619 --> 0:25:39.030
<v Speaker 2>it tomorrow. Morongo Casino, Dodgers on deck, gets our cover

0:25:39.050 --> 0:25:42.609
<v Speaker 2>started at 230. First pitch at 340. Tarek Skubal and

0:25:42.670 --> 0:25:46.410
<v Speaker 2>Nick Lodolo, the pitching matchup, in the series opener. Until then,

0:25:46.810 --> 0:25:50.070
<v Speaker 2>enjoy some football on this Sunday afternoon, and we'll talk

0:25:50.090 --> 0:25:50.609
<v Speaker 2>to you tomorrow.

0:25:50.650 --> 0:25:51.169
<v Speaker 1>So long, everybody.
