WEBVTT - Dodger Talk (8-2-26) 

0:00:00.600 --> 0:00:02.920
<v Speaker 1>The quest for the three peat has begun.

0:00:03.160 --> 0:00:07.000
<v Speaker 2>Only four teams in Major League Baseball history have won

0:00:07.080 --> 0:00:08.680
<v Speaker 2>three consecutive titles.

0:00:09.039 --> 0:00:12.320
<v Speaker 3>The Dodgers are the favorites to become the fifth.

0:00:12.680 --> 0:00:15.120
<v Speaker 1>This is world Champion Dodger Talk.

0:00:15.200 --> 0:00:15.960
<v Speaker 4>Here we go again.

0:00:15.960 --> 0:00:17.200
<v Speaker 2>We're gotta running back.

0:00:17.040 --> 0:00:19.239
<v Speaker 1>To get in on the show called eight six six

0:00:19.640 --> 0:00:22.400

0:00:22.520 --> 0:00:26.720

<v Speaker 1>here's Tim kakes.

0:00:29.920 --> 0:00:30.160
<v Speaker 4>Well.

0:00:30.240 --> 0:00:35.960
<v Speaker 2>The Dodgers get swept at home by the Boston Red Sox,

0:00:36.600 --> 0:00:40.239
<v Speaker 2>who are red hot, but the Dodgers also pick up

0:00:40.320 --> 0:00:44.040
<v Speaker 2>Trek Scooble, so an emotional rollercoaster a day for this

0:00:44.159 --> 0:00:47.120
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers team as they get finished off by the Red

0:00:47.120 --> 0:00:49.639
<v Speaker 2>Sox and eight to four victory for Boston as they

0:00:49.640 --> 0:00:52.199
<v Speaker 2>finish off the three game weekend sweep. Jake Bennett the

0:00:52.240 --> 0:00:54.400
<v Speaker 2>win image she and gets the loss. But on the

0:00:54.400 --> 0:00:56.920
<v Speaker 2>flip side of the things, as Dave Robert mentioned, the

0:00:56.920 --> 0:01:00.320
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers picking up Terrek Schooble just what they needed for

0:01:00.360 --> 0:01:03.160
<v Speaker 2>the final two months of the season. In October, Baseball

0:01:03.600 --> 0:01:05.800
<v Speaker 2>Dodger Talk is off and running here on this Sunday night.

0:01:05.840 --> 0:01:07.679
<v Speaker 2>Thanks for being with us wherever you may be. Eight

0:01:07.720 --> 0:01:09.760
<v Speaker 2>six six nine eighty seven two five seventy is the

0:01:09.800 --> 0:01:12.520
<v Speaker 2>number eight six six nine eighty seven to two five

0:01:12.600 --> 0:01:14.839
<v Speaker 2>seventy coming up in just a little bit, you're gonna

0:01:14.880 --> 0:01:17.200
<v Speaker 2>hear from Andrew Freeman. David Vesse had a chance to

0:01:17.200 --> 0:01:19.679
<v Speaker 2>catch up with Andrew before the game and was on

0:01:19.760 --> 0:01:22.800
<v Speaker 2>our Dodgers on Deck show and talked about the trade

0:01:22.800 --> 0:01:26.080
<v Speaker 2>for Trek Scooble, what they gave up in River Ryan

0:01:26.240 --> 0:01:29.360
<v Speaker 2>and Zayir Hope and a third prospect to get Trek Scooble,

0:01:29.400 --> 0:01:31.120
<v Speaker 2>and what he means for this team. So you're not

0:01:31.120 --> 0:01:32.959
<v Speaker 2>going to want to miss that. The comments from Andrew

0:01:33.000 --> 0:01:35.959
<v Speaker 2>Freeman about the trade that he pulled off last night

0:01:36.040 --> 0:01:38.399
<v Speaker 2>was made official this morning. And in case you missed it,

0:01:38.440 --> 0:01:41.560
<v Speaker 2>Tarrek Scooble joined the Dodgers during the game, showed up,

0:01:41.600 --> 0:01:44.640
<v Speaker 2>put on a Dodger uniform and joined his new teammates

0:01:44.680 --> 0:01:47.200
<v Speaker 2>inside the Dodgers dugout. He gave Dave Roberts a big

0:01:47.240 --> 0:01:49.240
<v Speaker 2>old bear hug, and then it was up on that

0:01:49.280 --> 0:01:52.440
<v Speaker 2>second step sitting next to Freddie Freeman and different guys.

0:01:52.480 --> 0:01:55.240
<v Speaker 2>Max muncie I saw him talking to as well, meeting

0:01:55.280 --> 0:01:58.480
<v Speaker 2>and greeting his new Dodger teammates, and it looks like

0:01:58.520 --> 0:02:01.120
<v Speaker 2>he's gonna get his start on Tuesday for his first

0:02:01.120 --> 0:02:03.720
<v Speaker 2>start in a Dodger uniform in Chicago at Wrigley Field

0:02:03.720 --> 0:02:06.280
<v Speaker 2>as the Dodgers head off on a six game road trip,

0:02:06.280 --> 0:02:09.400
<v Speaker 2>and tomorrow expected to have him meet the media before

0:02:09.480 --> 0:02:13.320
<v Speaker 2>the first game in Chicago tomorrow afternoon. But a lot

0:02:13.360 --> 0:02:15.440
<v Speaker 2>to get to here on Dodger Talk, a lot to

0:02:15.520 --> 0:02:18.400
<v Speaker 2>kind of process what just happened this weekend to Trek

0:02:18.440 --> 0:02:22.200
<v Speaker 2>Scuoble trade and what happens now moving forward. All Right,

0:02:22.240 --> 0:02:24.480
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers lost three to the Boston Red Side. I'm

0:02:24.480 --> 0:02:27.040
<v Speaker 2>not gonna panic. I'm not gonna worry. Boston's the hottest

0:02:27.040 --> 0:02:29.800
<v Speaker 2>team in baseball for whatever reason, They've put it together

0:02:29.880 --> 0:02:33.919
<v Speaker 2>under Chad Tracy. They're doing everything right right now. Small ball. Tonight,

0:02:33.960 --> 0:02:36.679
<v Speaker 2>they had four home runs season high in a game

0:02:36.720 --> 0:02:38.600
<v Speaker 2>for them. They're not known for the home run ball.

0:02:38.720 --> 0:02:41.600
<v Speaker 2>They're playing great defense, they're getting really good pitching, and

0:02:41.639 --> 0:02:44.000
<v Speaker 2>they had three lefties going this weekend, two of which

0:02:44.000 --> 0:02:47.000
<v Speaker 2>are rookies, and then Rangers sworez wining the series opener.

0:02:47.240 --> 0:02:49.760
<v Speaker 2>Everything's clicking right now. For the Boston Red Sox, and

0:02:49.760 --> 0:02:52.359
<v Speaker 2>they've got their own fight in the American League and

0:02:52.360 --> 0:02:55.079
<v Speaker 2>their own battle right now for a wild card spot

0:02:55.200 --> 0:02:56.919
<v Speaker 2>or if they can even get closer and get back

0:02:56.919 --> 0:03:00.840
<v Speaker 2>in this Al East reethe race. I'm more worried about

0:03:00.880 --> 0:03:03.960
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers. I'm more worried about the final two months

0:03:04.040 --> 0:03:07.720
<v Speaker 2>of this season and what this looks like now for

0:03:07.840 --> 0:03:11.600
<v Speaker 2>this Dodgers team. And tomorrow at three o'clock is the

0:03:11.639 --> 0:03:15.359
<v Speaker 2>Major League Baseball trade deadline, so there's still time. If

0:03:15.400 --> 0:03:19.400
<v Speaker 2>Andrew Freeman and Brandon Gomes are working the phones trying

0:03:19.440 --> 0:03:23.160
<v Speaker 2>to add to this roster or subtract from this roster

0:03:23.520 --> 0:03:28.720
<v Speaker 2>to get more minor league prospect equity, there's time to

0:03:28.760 --> 0:03:31.320
<v Speaker 2>do it. And I'm sure they're working the phones. I'm

0:03:31.360 --> 0:03:33.920
<v Speaker 2>sure they're doing their due diligence. If they're gonna make

0:03:33.919 --> 0:03:37.160
<v Speaker 2>any more moves, they have until three o'clock Pacific tomorrow.

0:03:37.200 --> 0:03:40.520
<v Speaker 2>And my question for you is is there another move

0:03:40.920 --> 0:03:44.160
<v Speaker 2>to be made for this Dodgers team. And I'm not

0:03:44.240 --> 0:03:48.040
<v Speaker 2>getting greedy here and saying Trek's Google, Okay, now what now?

0:03:48.080 --> 0:03:50.240
<v Speaker 2>What what are you gonna I'm not looking at that way.

0:03:50.520 --> 0:03:53.080
<v Speaker 2>Look at this roster in the way it's put together

0:03:53.160 --> 0:03:55.440
<v Speaker 2>right now and the way the depth looks on this

0:03:55.560 --> 0:04:00.440
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers team. In reality, there is a need. That need

0:04:00.560 --> 0:04:05.280
<v Speaker 2>is a catcher, and that is a glaring need tonight

0:04:05.840 --> 0:04:09.360
<v Speaker 2>with Eliezer Alfonso getting the start. Minutes before the game,

0:04:09.480 --> 0:04:13.760
<v Speaker 2>Dalton Rushing was scratched with irritation in his right elbow. Now,

0:04:13.840 --> 0:04:16.600
<v Speaker 2>Dave Roberts said it hadn't been a problem before. As

0:04:16.600 --> 0:04:18.960
<v Speaker 2>soon as he heard about it, he changed the lineup.

0:04:19.240 --> 0:04:21.600
<v Speaker 2>Dalton Rushing's going to get the night off, get some treatment,

0:04:21.680 --> 0:04:23.760
<v Speaker 2>get some therapy, and hopefully we'll be back in the

0:04:23.800 --> 0:04:25.720
<v Speaker 2>next couple of days. Here, as he said, he's day

0:04:25.760 --> 0:04:28.240
<v Speaker 2>to day. Well, he already got will Smith on the

0:04:28.279 --> 0:04:31.000
<v Speaker 2>injured list and he hasn't played in months, and will

0:04:31.040 --> 0:04:34.760
<v Speaker 2>Smith doing baseball activities is still what three to four

0:04:34.760 --> 0:04:37.880
<v Speaker 2>weeks away. If he were to start right now ramping

0:04:38.000 --> 0:04:40.520
<v Speaker 2>back up, and it's a slow ramp it's not like

0:04:40.560 --> 0:04:42.800
<v Speaker 2>he's itching to go and you know, needs thirty at

0:04:42.800 --> 0:04:44.520
<v Speaker 2>bats and hey, let's hurry then get those thirty at

0:04:44.560 --> 0:04:46.279
<v Speaker 2>bats in real quick and get him back to the

0:04:46.320 --> 0:04:49.800
<v Speaker 2>major leagues. This feels like a spring training ramp up,

0:04:50.240 --> 0:04:52.200
<v Speaker 2>a month long ramp up. And if that's the case,

0:04:52.240 --> 0:04:54.720
<v Speaker 2>look at the calendar. Talge ist second a month from now,

0:04:54.760 --> 0:04:58.440
<v Speaker 2>we're looking at the first second of September, the final stretch,

0:04:58.720 --> 0:05:02.040
<v Speaker 2>the final thirty days of season. So between now at

0:05:02.040 --> 0:05:07.920
<v Speaker 2>three o'clock on Monday, is catching a necessity? Is there

0:05:08.000 --> 0:05:10.680
<v Speaker 2>a catcher they can go out and get to help

0:05:10.720 --> 0:05:14.880
<v Speaker 2>out this Dodgers team one because Will Smith may not

0:05:14.960 --> 0:05:19.120
<v Speaker 2>be back for another month and Dalton Rushing, Okay, I'm

0:05:19.279 --> 0:05:22.039
<v Speaker 2>a little little bit of a little red flag with

0:05:22.080 --> 0:05:25.240
<v Speaker 2>the irritation and the elbow. Maybe it's nothing, maybe it's something.

0:05:25.279 --> 0:05:27.920
<v Speaker 2>Who knows, but he was scratched from the game tonight

0:05:28.600 --> 0:05:34.880
<v Speaker 2>and Eliotsarafonso love him, great kid, great story. Been through

0:05:34.920 --> 0:05:37.720
<v Speaker 2>a lot in the last month with the tragedy in Venezuela.

0:05:38.360 --> 0:05:41.120
<v Speaker 2>But when it comes to October baseball, I'm not sure

0:05:41.120 --> 0:05:44.080
<v Speaker 2>he's one of my two catchers on my roster, no offense.

0:05:45.000 --> 0:05:46.919
<v Speaker 2>But is there a catcher at the deadline that the

0:05:46.960 --> 0:05:49.320
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers can go out and get. Is there somebody that

0:05:49.440 --> 0:05:52.880
<v Speaker 2>makes sense that they can go out and get and

0:05:52.960 --> 0:05:56.120
<v Speaker 2>be that backup catcher right now to a Dalton Rushing

0:05:56.400 --> 0:06:00.200
<v Speaker 2>or play you know every three days, and then when

0:06:00.240 --> 0:06:03.560
<v Speaker 2>Will Smith hopefully gets back. You make a tough decision

0:06:03.560 --> 0:06:05.839
<v Speaker 2>on whether or not you're catching. You're carrying three catchers,

0:06:05.960 --> 0:06:09.040
<v Speaker 2>or he gets released or whatever happens. But for the

0:06:09.080 --> 0:06:12.680
<v Speaker 2>next month, can the Dodgers afford just to have Alfonso

0:06:14.279 --> 0:06:17.800
<v Speaker 2>and Dalton rushing behind the plate? There's no depth at

0:06:17.800 --> 0:06:23.880
<v Speaker 2>that position in Triple A or in Double A. There

0:06:24.080 --> 0:06:28.320
<v Speaker 2>is no top prospect just knocking on the door at

0:06:28.360 --> 0:06:31.160
<v Speaker 2>the catching spot. So that's something to keep in mind

0:06:31.640 --> 0:06:35.080
<v Speaker 2>between now at three o'clock tomorrow, is there somebody that

0:06:35.200 --> 0:06:37.920
<v Speaker 2>Brandon Gomes and Andrew Freeman can go out and get

0:06:38.160 --> 0:06:41.560
<v Speaker 2>As far as catcher is concerned, there's not a lot

0:06:41.600 --> 0:06:44.680
<v Speaker 2>of guys out there. Jonah him with the Athletics, but

0:06:44.720 --> 0:06:48.560
<v Speaker 2>it's calling, he pointed out with the injury to Shangaliers.

0:06:49.440 --> 0:06:52.279
<v Speaker 2>Jonah Heim's playing a lot now with the Athletics. Pedro

0:06:52.360 --> 0:06:55.440
<v Speaker 2>Piaz with the Cardinals, they got two catchers they're rotating,

0:06:55.880 --> 0:06:58.080
<v Speaker 2>and apparently the Cardinals have a lot of depth at

0:06:58.120 --> 0:07:00.920
<v Speaker 2>the upper levels of the minor leagues ready to get

0:07:00.920 --> 0:07:03.360
<v Speaker 2>to the major leagues at the catching spot. So there

0:07:03.440 --> 0:07:06.279
<v Speaker 2>could be a possibility to bring in a catcher for

0:07:06.320 --> 0:07:08.640
<v Speaker 2>the next month or however long you need him here

0:07:08.960 --> 0:07:10.960
<v Speaker 2>for the rest of this season eight six, sixth nine,

0:07:10.960 --> 0:07:14.160
<v Speaker 2>eighty seven, two five seventy. To me, if you could

0:07:14.240 --> 0:07:18.600
<v Speaker 2>upgrade catcher between now and three o'clock Pacific on Monday,

0:07:19.520 --> 0:07:22.600
<v Speaker 2>I do it. I don't break the bank. You're you're

0:07:22.600 --> 0:07:25.120
<v Speaker 2>obviously you know you're not gonna go out there and

0:07:25.560 --> 0:07:28.640
<v Speaker 2>find an all star catcher at this point. You're not

0:07:28.640 --> 0:07:31.280
<v Speaker 2>gonna go out there and pull off a trade like

0:07:31.320 --> 0:07:32.760
<v Speaker 2>you did for a school bl to go out and

0:07:32.760 --> 0:07:35.640
<v Speaker 2>get a catcher because you have Will Smith long term

0:07:36.200 --> 0:07:40.160
<v Speaker 2>Hunter Goodman, who is a stud Silver Slugger Award winner,

0:07:40.360 --> 0:07:43.120
<v Speaker 2>already an All Star. You know, the kid is hitting

0:07:43.160 --> 0:07:45.920
<v Speaker 2>thirty plus bombs. He's sitting now what thirty three home runs,

0:07:46.000 --> 0:07:49.400
<v Speaker 2>ninety or sixty five RBIs. Yeah, if you're gonna get

0:07:49.440 --> 0:07:51.120
<v Speaker 2>him in a trade, it's gonna cost you because he's

0:07:51.120 --> 0:07:53.560
<v Speaker 2>got a couple more years of service time that you

0:07:53.560 --> 0:07:56.080
<v Speaker 2>have him under control for. That's not the kind of

0:07:56.120 --> 0:07:59.120
<v Speaker 2>catcher the Dodgers really are looking for. They're looking for

0:07:59.240 --> 0:08:01.880
<v Speaker 2>like the paw has got with the car of the Cardinals,

0:08:02.280 --> 0:08:05.480
<v Speaker 2>or somebody who is in a situation where there's some

0:08:05.640 --> 0:08:08.240
<v Speaker 2>depth and somebody who can come in and help out

0:08:08.240 --> 0:08:10.440
<v Speaker 2>this Dodgers team, whether it's for the next four to

0:08:10.520 --> 0:08:14.080
<v Speaker 2>five weeks until Will Smith gets healthy and gets back

0:08:14.280 --> 0:08:16.760
<v Speaker 2>to playing every day eight sixty six, nine eighty seven, two,

0:08:16.800 --> 0:08:20.720
<v Speaker 2>five seventy. But on top of that, the Dodgers and

0:08:20.720 --> 0:08:24.680
<v Speaker 2>and Imate Shean, I'm not sure there there's a lot

0:08:24.720 --> 0:08:28.280
<v Speaker 2>more starts in there for Immit Shean at the big

0:08:28.360 --> 0:08:31.280
<v Speaker 2>league level. And I love Immit Shean. When his number

0:08:31.320 --> 0:08:34.360
<v Speaker 2>has been called, he has answered it every single time.

0:08:35.080 --> 0:08:38.400
<v Speaker 2>He has been one of the reliable starters that Dodgers

0:08:38.440 --> 0:08:43.280
<v Speaker 2>could go to this year. Yamamoto, Sasaki, Robleski, Imit Shean,

0:08:43.920 --> 0:08:45.920
<v Speaker 2>they're not. They haven't been sitting on the injury list

0:08:45.960 --> 0:08:50.240
<v Speaker 2>like Blake Snell and Tyler Glass. Now, Imit Shean has

0:08:50.280 --> 0:08:53.439
<v Speaker 2>been called upon and made start after start, but he's

0:08:53.600 --> 0:08:56.360
<v Speaker 2>just not gaining a lot of outs and swinging miss

0:08:56.400 --> 0:08:58.120
<v Speaker 2>He's given up too many runs. In fact, to go

0:08:58.160 --> 0:08:59.720
<v Speaker 2>back and look at what he's done over his twenty

0:08:59.760 --> 0:09:03.640
<v Speaker 2>star he's giving up runs in every single start. He's

0:09:03.679 --> 0:09:05.760
<v Speaker 2>had traffic on the base pass seems like every single

0:09:05.800 --> 0:09:08.400
<v Speaker 2>time he's out there. Too many leadoff walks, too many

0:09:08.440 --> 0:09:11.520
<v Speaker 2>base hits, too many thirty pitch innings too many twenty

0:09:11.520 --> 0:09:14.680
<v Speaker 2>two pitch innings. He'll get in and on traffic. He'll

0:09:14.679 --> 0:09:17.720
<v Speaker 2>give up three runs here, five runs there. He'll give

0:09:17.760 --> 0:09:22.840
<v Speaker 2>you a start, but he doesn't give you length. It's

0:09:22.840 --> 0:09:25.160
<v Speaker 2>been since early June that he's gone at least six

0:09:25.160 --> 0:09:28.320
<v Speaker 2>innings in a start. Tonight, in essence, turned into a

0:09:28.360 --> 0:09:32.000
<v Speaker 2>bullpen game until Dave Roberts said, all right, I'm not

0:09:32.040 --> 0:09:34.160
<v Speaker 2>gonna keep running guys out there like Jack Dryer and

0:09:34.240 --> 0:09:37.240
<v Speaker 2>Evan Phillips and Kyle Hurt. If we're down now what

0:09:37.920 --> 0:09:41.760
<v Speaker 2>seven or six to three? All right, Wyatt Mills your turn.

0:09:42.000 --> 0:09:43.920
<v Speaker 2>You get the final six outs of the game. And

0:09:43.960 --> 0:09:46.559
<v Speaker 2>he struggled a wild pitch to pass the ball hit

0:09:46.640 --> 0:09:50.120
<v Speaker 2>by batter a couple of walks in the ninth. It

0:09:50.160 --> 0:09:55.840
<v Speaker 2>was a struggle out there for Wyat Wyatt Mills image.

0:09:55.920 --> 0:09:59.520
<v Speaker 2>Shean cannot continue to pitch like this and expect to

0:09:59.559 --> 0:10:03.440
<v Speaker 2>be in the die rotation. It's just a reality because

0:10:04.120 --> 0:10:06.280
<v Speaker 2>of the return of Glass. Now a couple of starts

0:10:06.400 --> 0:10:09.320
<v Speaker 2>from now, after he gets his minor league rehab assignment's done,

0:10:09.840 --> 0:10:14.040
<v Speaker 2>and more on the near side, here is the return

0:10:14.120 --> 0:10:17.120
<v Speaker 2>of Blake Snell, who's gonna make a start on Tuesday

0:10:17.160 --> 0:10:21.000
<v Speaker 2>in Oklahoma City and then be good to go. Well,

0:10:21.040 --> 0:10:25.360
<v Speaker 2>you're getting Blake Snell back, you're getting Tyler Glass now back,

0:10:25.440 --> 0:10:28.800
<v Speaker 2>and oh yeah, you picked up Trek Scouble. That's three

0:10:29.240 --> 0:10:34.480
<v Speaker 2>starters now added back to this rotation. They're not enough

0:10:34.520 --> 0:10:37.079
<v Speaker 2>starts for everybody in the course of the week when

0:10:37.080 --> 0:10:40.680
<v Speaker 2>you already got a rotation of six starters. Now, what

0:10:40.760 --> 0:10:45.800
<v Speaker 2>about shoe a Otani the pitcher? Can you count on

0:10:45.880 --> 0:10:48.920
<v Speaker 2>Glass now? Robleski's innings are starting to get up there.

0:10:49.440 --> 0:10:52.680
<v Speaker 2>There's a lot of question marks going forward the next

0:10:52.720 --> 0:10:55.400
<v Speaker 2>two months of this season. And for the Dodgers, they

0:10:55.440 --> 0:10:58.120
<v Speaker 2>have the luxury of having so much depth. They've got

0:10:58.520 --> 0:11:02.240
<v Speaker 2>eight and if you throw in Otani, nine different starting pitchers,

0:11:02.800 --> 0:11:05.959
<v Speaker 2>they will have once Glass now and Snell come back

0:11:06.000 --> 0:11:08.840
<v Speaker 2>off the injured Liss, that's a lot for Dave Roberts

0:11:08.840 --> 0:11:11.840
<v Speaker 2>to choose from. That also means if you're not producing,

0:11:12.360 --> 0:11:14.320
<v Speaker 2>if you're not going out there and getting out and

0:11:14.320 --> 0:11:17.600
<v Speaker 2>putting up zeros, you're not gonna be out there because

0:11:17.640 --> 0:11:21.920
<v Speaker 2>there's somebody else, most likely that can do that job. Yamamoto,

0:11:24.880 --> 0:11:30.319
<v Speaker 2>Terre Skouble, Jessa Robleski, Roki Sasaki. Four starters right there,

0:11:30.320 --> 0:11:32.600
<v Speaker 2>you're getting Snell back. Glass Now is down the road.

0:11:34.440 --> 0:11:38.400
<v Speaker 2>It mean Shean? Can you pencil him in there? Once

0:11:38.440 --> 0:11:43.080
<v Speaker 2>a week show hey Otani kind of feels like it's

0:11:43.080 --> 0:11:46.040
<v Speaker 2>gonna be a while until he comes back pitching, and

0:11:46.080 --> 0:11:49.240
<v Speaker 2>then there's Eric lower now before we get to tomorrow's

0:11:49.240 --> 0:11:51.600
<v Speaker 2>three o'clock trade deadline, and let's just not all assume

0:11:51.640 --> 0:11:53.920
<v Speaker 2>now that Eric Lawer is gonna be traded. It's a

0:11:53.960 --> 0:11:57.920
<v Speaker 2>great story what he did turning his season around after

0:11:58.000 --> 0:12:00.440
<v Speaker 2>disaster in Toronto the first month and a half to

0:12:00.480 --> 0:12:04.280
<v Speaker 2>come to the Dodgers and be undefeated. Dodgers just win

0:12:04.360 --> 0:12:09.320
<v Speaker 2>when he starts games. He's been fantastic. I kind of

0:12:09.400 --> 0:12:11.679
<v Speaker 2>like Eric Lawer more than I like Image Shean right

0:12:11.720 --> 0:12:14.840
<v Speaker 2>now at this point, I'd feel a little bit more

0:12:14.880 --> 0:12:18.520
<v Speaker 2>confident for the next month here until Tyler glass Now

0:12:18.559 --> 0:12:21.200
<v Speaker 2>gets back and im it or show hey o Tony

0:12:21.240 --> 0:12:24.680
<v Speaker 2>gets back, assuming it's another month or so. If you

0:12:24.760 --> 0:12:27.360
<v Speaker 2>need arms, do you want image Sheen out there? We

0:12:27.400 --> 0:12:31.439
<v Speaker 2>went once a week or a Eric Lawer. I love Shean.

0:12:32.200 --> 0:12:34.839
<v Speaker 2>I really like Eric Lawer, and I like where Eric

0:12:34.880 --> 0:12:37.280
<v Speaker 2>Lawer's at right now with this confidence and the way

0:12:37.320 --> 0:12:40.560
<v Speaker 2>he pitches and the way he gets out and puts

0:12:40.600 --> 0:12:43.440
<v Speaker 2>up zeros and navigates, you know, when he does have

0:12:43.480 --> 0:12:46.120
<v Speaker 2>traffic or gives up a couple early runs, is able

0:12:46.160 --> 0:12:48.360
<v Speaker 2>to get back and put up zeros right after that

0:12:48.440 --> 0:12:50.959
<v Speaker 2>and stack zeros and keep the Dodgers in games and

0:12:51.000 --> 0:12:54.160
<v Speaker 2>wait for the offense to start slugging. So it's gonna

0:12:54.160 --> 0:12:56.839
<v Speaker 2>be interesting to see how they navigate the next month,

0:12:57.040 --> 0:12:59.520
<v Speaker 2>and really the next two months with guys coming in

0:12:59.559 --> 0:13:02.640
<v Speaker 2>and out of the starting rotation, and again tomorrow three

0:13:02.640 --> 0:13:06.360
<v Speaker 2>o'clock trade deadline. What should they do if they need

0:13:06.400 --> 0:13:10.199
<v Speaker 2>another move or two to make? Is it subtracting Alex

0:13:10.320 --> 0:13:13.560
<v Speaker 2>call and Eric Lawer I hate to see Eric Lawer go,

0:13:13.760 --> 0:13:16.760
<v Speaker 2>I really would, Or is it to bring in a catcher,

0:13:16.880 --> 0:13:20.560
<v Speaker 2>which I think is a strong need right now, an

0:13:20.600 --> 0:13:23.960
<v Speaker 2>absolute strong need for a veteran presence behind the plate.

0:13:24.040 --> 0:13:26.560
<v Speaker 2>Eight sixty six nine eight seven two five seven. Let's

0:13:26.559 --> 0:13:28.280
<v Speaker 2>take a couple of calls we're gonna hear from Andrew

0:13:28.320 --> 0:13:30.840
<v Speaker 2>Freeman coming up in just a little bit. Michael, who

0:13:30.880 --> 0:13:34.079
<v Speaker 2>is at Dodger Stadium tonight. Michael, thank you for being patient,

0:13:34.120 --> 0:13:35.680
<v Speaker 2>really appreciate it. How you doing tonight?

0:13:36.920 --> 0:13:39.920
<v Speaker 5>We're doing great. It's so great to be talking here

0:13:39.920 --> 0:13:42.720
<v Speaker 5>on Dodger Talk. We listen to you guys every night.

0:13:42.960 --> 0:13:45.760
<v Speaker 5>Just love the show. Timmy do a great job. We

0:13:45.800 --> 0:13:48.960
<v Speaker 5>live in Saint Louis. I'm out here visiting family. I'm

0:13:48.960 --> 0:13:50.319
<v Speaker 5>here with my dad.

0:13:50.200 --> 0:13:54.200
<v Speaker 6>And my son Matthew, and my son Simon, who's gone

0:13:54.240 --> 0:13:56.840
<v Speaker 6>to Dodger Stadium tonight for his first time ever, and

0:13:56.920 --> 0:14:00.800
<v Speaker 6>my nephew James, and they're just having a block, right, guys.

0:14:02.480 --> 0:14:04.560
<v Speaker 5>So it's been a great evening for us. And I

0:14:04.640 --> 0:14:07.240
<v Speaker 5>just got to say, you know, from from a Dodger fan,

0:14:07.320 --> 0:14:09.960
<v Speaker 5>he's an exile. You know, we we go to a

0:14:09.960 --> 0:14:11.920
<v Speaker 5>lot of road games. We rarely get to go and

0:14:11.960 --> 0:14:15.640
<v Speaker 5>see him at home. Here Dodgers Tatum experience is so

0:14:15.880 --> 0:14:20.680
<v Speaker 5>much better than other stadiums, and it's just unreal how

0:14:20.960 --> 0:14:23.560
<v Speaker 5>how big the differential is. I mean, just little things

0:14:23.640 --> 0:14:26.480
<v Speaker 5>like the cap games, a hitting ball thing so much

0:14:26.520 --> 0:14:29.640
<v Speaker 5>better at Dodger Stadium. So we had a great time,

0:14:29.680 --> 0:14:32.160
<v Speaker 5>even though we lost. I would just say I'm with you.

0:14:32.680 --> 0:14:36.280
<v Speaker 5>Let's keep Eric Lauer. And here is a possible suggestion.

0:14:36.880 --> 0:14:37.560
<v Speaker 3>The Dodgers.

0:14:37.600 --> 0:14:39.160
<v Speaker 5>You know they don't they don't just go out to

0:14:39.160 --> 0:14:43.600
<v Speaker 5>get anybody. Well, here's a wild suggestion. What if we're

0:14:43.640 --> 0:14:48.040
<v Speaker 5>really worried about you know, Rushing. What about Adlie Ritschman.

0:14:48.360 --> 0:14:50.800
<v Speaker 5>He's been on the market. We know the Oriols have

0:14:50.840 --> 0:14:52.880
<v Speaker 5>been shopping him around. I don't know what it would

0:14:52.880 --> 0:14:55.200
<v Speaker 5>take to get him, but you know he could spell

0:14:55.600 --> 0:14:58.080
<v Speaker 5>Freddie at first base. He can give him a day off,

0:14:58.360 --> 0:15:01.760
<v Speaker 5>he can play behind the plate. He'd be reliable for us.

0:15:02.480 --> 0:15:03.920
<v Speaker 5>Just a suggestion. What do you think of that?

0:15:04.440 --> 0:15:06.400
<v Speaker 2>It's interesting to see if they could go out and

0:15:06.400 --> 0:15:07.960
<v Speaker 2>get him. I know the Yankees who are in the

0:15:07.960 --> 0:15:10.280
<v Speaker 2>division with Orioles, and I appreciate the phone call, Michael.

0:15:11.280 --> 0:15:14.000
<v Speaker 2>The Orioles and Yankees, those are the two teams talking

0:15:14.000 --> 0:15:17.160
<v Speaker 2>about Adlie Rushman. I love Adie rush and I think

0:15:17.200 --> 0:15:20.720
<v Speaker 2>he's a great defensive catcher. I think he'd be a

0:15:20.760 --> 0:15:25.120
<v Speaker 2>perfect addition. At what cost, I'm not sure, but the

0:15:25.200 --> 0:15:28.400
<v Speaker 2>Yankees are in dire need for a catcher right now.

0:15:28.480 --> 0:15:33.280
<v Speaker 2>I mean, the combination of Ali Sanchez and Austin Wells

0:15:33.880 --> 0:15:37.560
<v Speaker 2>has been bad, has been absolutely bad in the Bronx,

0:15:37.880 --> 0:15:41.040
<v Speaker 2>and you're throwing the injuries to Judge and Stanton Bellinger.

0:15:41.360 --> 0:15:43.720
<v Speaker 2>They need a little pop with the bad and Atlie

0:15:43.760 --> 0:15:47.520
<v Speaker 2>Rushman could could bring that. It wouldn't surprise me though,

0:15:47.520 --> 0:15:49.360
<v Speaker 2>if the Dodgers were in play for a guy like

0:15:49.440 --> 0:15:52.680
<v Speaker 2>Adlie Rushman, because you never count out Andrew Freeman. Just

0:15:52.720 --> 0:15:55.200
<v Speaker 2>when you think, ah, the Yankees and Orioles are gonna

0:15:55.200 --> 0:15:58.160
<v Speaker 2>make a trade, and in comes Andrew Freeman, and he

0:15:58.200 --> 0:16:00.320
<v Speaker 2>can come in very easily and make a trade for

0:16:00.320 --> 0:16:02.720
<v Speaker 2>an athlete rush back. I think he'd be a perfect fit.

0:16:02.800 --> 0:16:05.840
<v Speaker 2>At what cost, I'm not sure, because it again you're

0:16:05.840 --> 0:16:09.480
<v Speaker 2>not thinking long term for catching, and in reality you're

0:16:09.520 --> 0:16:12.760
<v Speaker 2>thinking Will Smith is gonna come back in September, and

0:16:12.800 --> 0:16:15.880
<v Speaker 2>he's your everyday catcher once he gets healthy and does return.

0:16:16.200 --> 0:16:18.600
<v Speaker 2>So what does that mean for Rushman? He's your backup catcher?

0:16:18.640 --> 0:16:20.880
<v Speaker 2>What does that mean for Dalton Rushing? You only got

0:16:20.880 --> 0:16:24.600
<v Speaker 2>twenty six spots on the postseason roster. Is Dalton Rushing,

0:16:24.600 --> 0:16:27.040
<v Speaker 2>who you've relied upon a lot to be behind the plate?

0:16:27.480 --> 0:16:29.440
<v Speaker 2>Is he out? So a lot of things to think

0:16:29.440 --> 0:16:31.600
<v Speaker 2>about as far as pulling the trigger and making the

0:16:31.640 --> 0:16:35.080
<v Speaker 2>deal before three o'clock tomorrow afternoon. Dodger's Baseball is brought

0:16:35.120 --> 0:16:38.680
<v Speaker 2>to you by Medello Midello. The Mark of Fighter eight

<v Speaker 2>Dominic in wes Woods. Next up here on Dodger Talk,

0:16:49.080 --> 0:16:53.920
<v Speaker 7>I've been okay, trying to still keep positive despite what happened.

0:16:59.240 --> 0:17:10.520
<v Speaker 7>I'll tell you, I.

0:17:05.359 --> 0:17:07.879
<v Speaker 2>Dominic, your your phone is breaking up. My man, I'm

<v Speaker 2>if we get a better connection. But I appreciate it.

0:17:12.520 --> 0:17:14.960
<v Speaker 2>If we can get a better connection, we will. Julian

0:17:15.240 --> 0:17:16.720
<v Speaker 2>and for Wittier is going all right, Let's go to

0:17:16.760 --> 0:17:19.800
<v Speaker 2>Corey and long beach. Corey, thanks for being patient, Thanks

0:17:19.800 --> 0:17:21.439
<v Speaker 2>for joining us here on Dodger Talk on this Sunday.

0:17:21.440 --> 0:17:24.520
<v Speaker 4>He a you doing, Hey, Tim, Thank you very much.

0:17:26.160 --> 0:17:32.320
<v Speaker 4>I am I am upside down over the fact that

0:17:32.720 --> 0:17:39.480
<v Speaker 4>the contending teams that allegedly want to win, silly Milwaukee

0:17:39.600 --> 0:17:44.600
<v Speaker 4>Yankees blah blah blah, they couldn't put together a better

0:17:44.720 --> 0:17:49.359
<v Speaker 4>package for Derek scooball than the Dodgers did.

0:17:50.640 --> 0:17:51.359
<v Speaker 8>I mean, that's not.

0:17:51.600 --> 0:17:57.600
<v Speaker 4>All it takes. That's all it takes a prospect, a suspect,

0:17:58.200 --> 0:17:59.600
<v Speaker 4>and an unknown.

0:18:00.760 --> 0:18:04.520
<v Speaker 2>Well, the Dodgers didn't just give up nothing. I appreciate it.

0:18:04.520 --> 0:18:06.960
<v Speaker 2>Thank you Corey for checking and Dodgers didn't just give

0:18:07.040 --> 0:18:09.640
<v Speaker 2>up nothing. I mean, Zaire Hope is their number two

0:18:09.760 --> 0:18:12.760
<v Speaker 2>overall prospect. He's a top thirty prospect in all the

0:18:12.800 --> 0:18:17.320
<v Speaker 2>baseball Everybody loves him. River Ryan can very easily be

0:18:17.440 --> 0:18:22.119
<v Speaker 2>on you know, twenty eight starting rotations around baseball. Right now,

0:18:22.240 --> 0:18:24.919
<v Speaker 2>he's just at a log jam with the Dodgers, and

0:18:25.080 --> 0:18:27.520
<v Speaker 2>you kind of felt like with him not coming back

0:18:27.560 --> 0:18:29.760
<v Speaker 2>up to the big leagues the last few weeks, with

0:18:29.800 --> 0:18:32.560
<v Speaker 2>the injuries to glass Now and Blakesnell, and the Dodgers

0:18:32.600 --> 0:18:35.720
<v Speaker 2>going out and doing bullpen games and you know, bringing

0:18:35.800 --> 0:18:38.400
<v Speaker 2>up Wyatt Mills and different guys to soak up innings

0:18:38.440 --> 0:18:41.520
<v Speaker 2>and not going to River Ryan. I think I said

0:18:41.560 --> 0:18:43.480
<v Speaker 2>it a few weeks ago on Dodgers talk. It kind

0:18:43.480 --> 0:18:45.480
<v Speaker 2>of fell like all along they're keeping him in Triple A,

0:18:46.000 --> 0:18:48.440
<v Speaker 2>hoping that he'll be flipped in part of a deal.

0:18:48.680 --> 0:18:50.439
<v Speaker 2>You don't want to bring up to the major leagues

0:18:50.720 --> 0:18:53.919
<v Speaker 2>having get hit around a lot, you know, and the

0:18:54.000 --> 0:18:57.040
<v Speaker 2>value goes down. You know, you want him at peak value,

0:18:57.080 --> 0:18:58.840
<v Speaker 2>and that's keeping him in Triple A. So I think

0:18:58.880 --> 0:19:01.080
<v Speaker 2>that's kind of why we never all him come back up,

0:19:01.320 --> 0:19:03.920
<v Speaker 2>even though he's been healthy and been just making start

0:19:03.960 --> 0:19:06.520
<v Speaker 2>after start in Triple A Oklahoma se He's had some

0:19:06.600 --> 0:19:08.399
<v Speaker 2>nagging injuries this year, a couple of stints on the

0:19:08.440 --> 0:19:10.680
<v Speaker 2>il in Triple A Oklahoma City, but for the most

0:19:10.680 --> 0:19:13.200
<v Speaker 2>part he's healthy now. And then Brady Smith was a

0:19:13.240 --> 0:19:14.879
<v Speaker 2>third round pick a couple of years ago at the

0:19:14.880 --> 0:19:17.800
<v Speaker 2>lower levels doing okay. I mean, they didn't give up nothing.

0:19:18.160 --> 0:19:20.240
<v Speaker 2>I mean, they gave up a young prospect, they give

0:19:20.320 --> 0:19:22.760
<v Speaker 2>up a highly touted prospect, and they gave up a

0:19:22.800 --> 0:19:25.679
<v Speaker 2>major league arm a young one who's got still got

0:19:25.720 --> 0:19:30.760
<v Speaker 2>control as far as his contract in years in River Ryan.

0:19:30.880 --> 0:19:34.000
<v Speaker 2>So it is interesting, I'll be fully honest with you,

0:19:34.680 --> 0:19:39.920
<v Speaker 2>it is interesting that there wasn't a trade from Milwaukee

0:19:40.040 --> 0:19:43.880
<v Speaker 2>or Tampa somebody else. That's just like whoa they gave

0:19:44.000 --> 0:19:47.080
<v Speaker 2>up that they get Terry Scooble. They gave up the

0:19:47.320 --> 0:19:50.520
<v Speaker 2>farm to get this guy. I mean you would you

0:19:50.520 --> 0:19:52.320
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't be mad at it. You know, it's Terry Scooble.

0:19:52.359 --> 0:19:54.400
<v Speaker 2>He's one of the best pitchers in baseball two times

0:19:54.440 --> 0:19:56.360
<v Speaker 2>say Young Award winner. I mean, could be the most

0:19:56.359 --> 0:20:00.000
<v Speaker 2>sought after free agent this offseason. But the Dodgers got him.

0:20:00.560 --> 0:20:03.440
<v Speaker 2>And what the Dodgers had to give back in return

0:20:03.680 --> 0:20:06.480
<v Speaker 2>is still really good. Like I mentioned, the three guys

0:20:06.480 --> 0:20:10.040
<v Speaker 2>they gave back, are you know three bodies that are

0:20:10.040 --> 0:20:13.240
<v Speaker 2>gonna maybe someday help out the Tigers more more currently

0:20:13.359 --> 0:20:17.080
<v Speaker 2>River Ryan on the mound and in the rotation with Detroit.

0:20:17.160 --> 0:20:19.240
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, they had to give up something to get

0:20:19.320 --> 0:20:21.800
<v Speaker 2>Terrek Schouble. But it is kind of surprising that there

0:20:21.880 --> 0:20:26.000
<v Speaker 2>wasn't that wow trade. There wasn't that Oh my gosh,

0:20:26.080 --> 0:20:29.160
<v Speaker 2>that's what they took to get Trekscouoble. So I'm with

0:20:29.200 --> 0:20:32.320
<v Speaker 2>you on that, But for the Dodger's sake, I'm certainly

0:20:32.520 --> 0:20:35.800
<v Speaker 2>so grateful to have Andrew Freeman. We're gonna hear from

0:20:35.880 --> 0:20:37.280
<v Speaker 2>m coming up after the break and what he was

0:20:37.320 --> 0:20:40.760
<v Speaker 2>able to do and navigate through this trade process and

0:20:40.800 --> 0:20:43.280
<v Speaker 2>how it ramped up yesterday with the talks at the

0:20:43.320 --> 0:20:45.159
<v Speaker 2>Tigers and the Dodgers were able to pull off the

0:20:45.160 --> 0:20:47.640
<v Speaker 2>deal for Trek Scooble eight six six nine eight seven

0:20:47.720 --> 0:20:49.560
<v Speaker 2>two five seventy. We'll take a break, we'll come back,

0:20:49.760 --> 0:20:51.840
<v Speaker 2>we'll get to more of your phone calls, and we'll

0:20:51.880 --> 0:20:54.840
<v Speaker 2>hear from Andrew Freeman himself, the man who pulled off

0:20:54.880 --> 0:20:57.200
<v Speaker 2>the trade, the biggest trade here at the trade deadline.

0:20:57.280 --> 0:20:59.760
<v Speaker 2>No matter what happens between now and three o'clock Pacific

0:20:59.800 --> 0:21:04.400
<v Speaker 2>to tomorrow, this was the guy everybody wanted. Tarrek Scooble

0:21:04.920 --> 0:21:10.320
<v Speaker 2>was the number one sought after pitching commodity at the

0:21:10.359 --> 0:21:12.960
<v Speaker 2>trade deadline, and the Dodgers landed him in a three

0:21:13.040 --> 0:21:14.879
<v Speaker 2>for one deal. He'll make his first start in at

0:21:14.880 --> 0:21:17.880
<v Speaker 2>Dodger uniform on Tuesday at Wrigley Field. Will come back

0:21:17.920 --> 0:21:21.080
<v Speaker 2>your phone calls Andrew Freeman, Dodgers. Oh yeah, by the way,

0:21:21.440 --> 0:21:23.960
<v Speaker 2>got beat by the Boston Red Sox tonight eight to four.

0:21:24.320 --> 0:21:26.480
<v Speaker 2>As they lose all three games to the Red Sox.

0:21:26.520 --> 0:21:29.560
<v Speaker 2>BA doesn't matter. Ten game leading the division, two months

0:21:29.560 --> 0:21:32.480
<v Speaker 2>to go, and Tarrek Scooble's now in a Dodger uniform.

<v Speaker 2>Night Baseball eight to four is the final Jake Bennet

0:22:04.880 --> 0:22:07.680
<v Speaker 2>against the win for Boston image Shean couldn't get out

0:22:07.680 --> 0:22:10.119
<v Speaker 2>of the third inning, gave up back to back home runs,

0:22:10.119 --> 0:22:12.760
<v Speaker 2>three home runs to four batters over a course of

0:22:12.840 --> 0:22:15.680
<v Speaker 2>seven pitches in the third and Dave Roberts has seen

0:22:15.760 --> 0:22:18.320
<v Speaker 2>enough after two and two third innings, five runs, six hits,

0:22:18.359 --> 0:22:21.920
<v Speaker 2>three home runs only fifty eight pitches. As the Dodgers

0:22:21.920 --> 0:22:24.119
<v Speaker 2>were down early, took the lead in the second, but

0:22:24.160 --> 0:22:26.159
<v Speaker 2>that lead was gone in the third, and then the

0:22:26.160 --> 0:22:28.159
<v Speaker 2>Red Sox were off and running on their way to

0:22:28.200 --> 0:22:30.280
<v Speaker 2>an eight to four win and a three game sweep

0:22:30.680 --> 0:22:34.199
<v Speaker 2>over the Dodgers, who have now been swept twice in

0:22:34.240 --> 0:22:36.359
<v Speaker 2>the last month at home. They got swept in a

0:22:36.359 --> 0:22:38.639
<v Speaker 2>three game weekend series going into the All Star Break

0:22:38.760 --> 0:22:41.639

<v Speaker 2>Dodger Talk on This Sunday Night. How you doing, Sean.

0:23:02.640 --> 0:23:05.639
<v Speaker 3>Doing well? First time? Long time? If my question is

0:23:05.720 --> 0:23:08.760
<v Speaker 3>two parts. One, you talked about Catcher, what why can't

0:23:08.800 --> 0:23:12.120
<v Speaker 3>we bring back Beton Rhdvett? And number two we've talked

0:23:12.160 --> 0:23:14.680
<v Speaker 3>about trying to find a second hitter. Why not move

0:23:14.760 --> 0:23:18.280
<v Speaker 3>Shoha Tani to the second spot because he's not really

0:23:18.320 --> 0:23:20.280
<v Speaker 3>a threat to steal with his knee. And I feel like,

0:23:20.280 --> 0:23:22.239
<v Speaker 3>because he's hitting so many home runs, we should put

0:23:22.320 --> 0:23:24.639
<v Speaker 3>like Tommy Edmonds first to get on base and to

0:23:24.640 --> 0:23:25.680
<v Speaker 3>get more run potential.

0:23:26.680 --> 0:23:29.760
<v Speaker 2>I like both of those ideas. I appreciated Sean. You know,

0:23:29.840 --> 0:23:32.320
<v Speaker 2>I love Ben Rhardvett. I love Rordy. I think he

0:23:32.440 --> 0:23:34.760
<v Speaker 2>is a stud behind the plane. You're gonna draw a

0:23:34.800 --> 0:23:38.919
<v Speaker 2>pitcher of a Catcher in twenty twenty six. He is that.

0:23:38.960 --> 0:23:42.399
<v Speaker 2>If you're gonna, you know, go into the old encyclopedias

0:23:42.400 --> 0:23:45.040
<v Speaker 2>and look up for the young kids encyclopedias where you

0:23:45.080 --> 0:23:48.240
<v Speaker 2>found like factual stuff and things in history. If you

0:23:48.240 --> 0:23:50.560
<v Speaker 2>were to look up Ketcher, he would look just like

0:23:50.760 --> 0:23:52.879
<v Speaker 2>he'd be the description he looks like a catcher. He

0:23:52.920 --> 0:23:55.840
<v Speaker 2>is a catcher. What you get offensively from him, okay,

0:23:55.880 --> 0:23:59.080
<v Speaker 2>it's great, But defensively a really solid I think, just

0:23:59.119 --> 0:24:02.959
<v Speaker 2>above average defensive catcher, Ben Roard fat, he'd be perfect.

0:24:02.960 --> 0:24:04.320
<v Speaker 2>And I believe he's in Triple A with the New

0:24:04.400 --> 0:24:06.520
<v Speaker 2>York Mets, so you'd have to go dig him out

0:24:06.520 --> 0:24:09.240
<v Speaker 2>of Triple A over there, putting Tommy Edman the lead

0:24:09.280 --> 0:24:11.560
<v Speaker 2>off spot, dropping Show Hey to the number two spot.

0:24:12.160 --> 0:24:14.399
<v Speaker 2>I don't see them shuffling the lineup right now and

0:24:14.480 --> 0:24:16.560
<v Speaker 2>moving Show Hey out of the lead off spot, just

0:24:16.600 --> 0:24:18.879
<v Speaker 2>because of where he's been and how he's done and

0:24:18.920 --> 0:24:20.560
<v Speaker 2>all the lead off home runs and what he does

0:24:20.600 --> 0:24:22.560
<v Speaker 2>at the lead off spot when you flip that lineup around.

0:24:22.560 --> 0:24:25.719
<v Speaker 2>But you know, I wouldn't hate it. I can see it.

0:24:25.760 --> 0:24:28.360
<v Speaker 2>Makes sense. You put switch hitting Tommy Edman, who gets

0:24:28.400 --> 0:24:30.680
<v Speaker 2>on bass, finds the gap, puts the ball in play,

0:24:30.760 --> 0:24:32.919
<v Speaker 2>can get on bass at the lead off spot and

0:24:33.040 --> 0:24:36.159
<v Speaker 2>leading into Show Hey bat in second I can I

0:24:36.160 --> 0:24:39.080
<v Speaker 2>can see it. I could absolutely see it. Dominic and

0:24:39.080 --> 0:24:41.280
<v Speaker 2>west Wood are your next up. Thanks for being patient, Dominic.

0:24:41.359 --> 0:24:44.239
<v Speaker 2>I think we've got a better phone line now, all right?

0:24:44.280 --> 0:24:46.520
<v Speaker 7>Can you hear me now? No more wind or any

0:24:46.520 --> 0:24:46.800
<v Speaker 7>of that.

0:24:47.160 --> 0:24:49.520
<v Speaker 2>All right, we got I'm doing good.

0:24:51.080 --> 0:24:54.800
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, it's this is a tough week. Just all three

0:24:54.800 --> 0:24:58.040
<v Speaker 7>of my sports teams, including the Dodgers, lost this week.

0:24:59.200 --> 0:25:01.480
<v Speaker 7>But you know what, the saving grace with the Dodgers

0:25:01.680 --> 0:25:05.320
<v Speaker 7>is that we're still first and we got Scooble now,

0:25:05.680 --> 0:25:08.560
<v Speaker 7>so that's at least at least there's a good ending

0:25:08.600 --> 0:25:12.800
<v Speaker 7>to that. But yeah, I I will say I I

0:25:12.840 --> 0:25:16.560
<v Speaker 7>do agree with you with Eric. I agree one with Eric,

0:25:17.600 --> 0:25:20.360
<v Speaker 7>and so I am sorry. My headset was going all off,

0:25:20.400 --> 0:25:22.399
<v Speaker 7>so I I couldn't hear exactly what you said, but

0:25:22.440 --> 0:25:25.280
<v Speaker 7>I do agree with you on that. But I do

0:25:25.359 --> 0:25:28.320
<v Speaker 7>have one off, sort of off topic question, I guess

0:25:28.320 --> 0:25:31.240
<v Speaker 7>sort of off question, but it is. It is Dodger related.

0:25:32.240 --> 0:25:34.879
<v Speaker 7>The La Sparks w n B A team is having

0:25:34.920 --> 0:25:39.040
<v Speaker 7>the the Dodger Night. I was gonna ask Dave this question,

0:25:39.080 --> 0:25:40.960
<v Speaker 7>but he's not on tonight. I don't know if you

0:25:41.000 --> 0:25:42.800
<v Speaker 7>can send him the message, but is he going to

0:25:42.880 --> 0:25:45.800
<v Speaker 7>be there for the for the Dodgers Night? Because I

0:25:45.800 --> 0:25:47.240
<v Speaker 7>I for sure will be there on a season ticket

0:25:47.240 --> 0:25:50.120
<v Speaker 7>holder with the Sparks, so I I I for sure

0:25:50.160 --> 0:25:52.679
<v Speaker 7>will be there. But I also wanted to ask you

0:25:52.720 --> 0:25:56.320
<v Speaker 7>as well, will you be there? No hard feelings if

0:25:56.320 --> 0:25:58.160
<v Speaker 7>you can't make it, because I have a feeling there

0:25:58.240 --> 0:26:00.000
<v Speaker 7>is a game that night as well.

0:26:00.520 --> 0:26:04.520
<v Speaker 2>If the game, yeah, probably won't be out there, Thanks Tomin.

0:26:04.560 --> 0:26:07.520
<v Speaker 2>I appreciate the phone call. Probably won't be out there,

0:26:08.520 --> 0:26:10.520
<v Speaker 2>and I cannot speak for Dave, so I'll let you

0:26:10.680 --> 0:26:12.840
<v Speaker 2>address that with Dave when he's back on Dodger Talk.

0:26:13.440 --> 0:26:15.760
<v Speaker 2>Eight six six nine, eight seven two five seventy is

0:26:15.800 --> 0:26:17.960
<v Speaker 2>the number Dodgers loose to the Red Sox eight to four.

0:26:17.960 --> 0:26:20.000
<v Speaker 2>But the big news of the day is Trek Scooble.

0:26:20.200 --> 0:26:22.560
<v Speaker 2>The trade became official this morning. He was in the

0:26:22.560 --> 0:26:26.840
<v Speaker 2>Dodger dugout mid game, hugging Dodge Dodgers manager Dave Roberts

0:26:26.840 --> 0:26:29.879
<v Speaker 2>and meeting and greeting his new team teammates there on

0:26:29.920 --> 0:26:32.280
<v Speaker 2>the second step of the Dodger dugout, hanging out with

0:26:32.320 --> 0:26:34.760
<v Speaker 2>Freddie Freeman, talking to some of the Dodger pitchers. I

0:26:34.760 --> 0:26:37.520
<v Speaker 2>saw him in Yamamoto greet each other down underneath in

0:26:37.600 --> 0:26:40.480
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers' clubhouse, and Keiky Hernandez down there as well.

0:26:40.560 --> 0:26:42.639
<v Speaker 2>So he has joined the Team's going to be on

0:26:42.720 --> 0:26:45.320
<v Speaker 2>the team flight as they head now to Chicago and

0:26:45.400 --> 0:26:47.359
<v Speaker 2>start a six game road trip at three against the

0:26:47.400 --> 0:26:50.760
<v Speaker 2>Cubies beginning tomorrow. Tomorrow, Terrek Scooble is his scheduled to

0:26:50.840 --> 0:26:54.119
<v Speaker 2>talk to the media before the series opener, and then

0:26:54.160 --> 0:26:56.520
<v Speaker 2>he is scheduled to get the start on Tuesday in

0:26:56.600 --> 0:26:58.439
<v Speaker 2>the second game of this three game series. And of

0:26:58.480 --> 0:27:02.280
<v Speaker 2>course tomorrow at three o'clock Monday, three pm Pacific is

0:27:02.320 --> 0:27:06.400
<v Speaker 2>the MLB trade deadline. We'll see if the Dodgers make

0:27:06.440 --> 0:27:10.639
<v Speaker 2>any more moose. What they've done already is really really

0:27:10.720 --> 0:27:14.280
<v Speaker 2>cause waves around baseball and around the sports world. As

0:27:14.280 --> 0:27:17.119
<v Speaker 2>far as going out and getting Terry Schooble at the

0:27:17.160 --> 0:27:21.160
<v Speaker 2>trade deadline. My guy Blake in Colorado. There he is, Blake.

0:27:21.200 --> 0:27:23.159
<v Speaker 2>Welcome to Dodger Talk. How you doing, Buddy.

0:27:24.960 --> 0:27:26.520
<v Speaker 9>Good? I tell what you doing today.

0:27:27.080 --> 0:27:34.720
<v Speaker 2>I'm fantastic. Tarrek Schooble is a Dodger, Blake, Come on, Yeah.

0:27:34.000 --> 0:27:36.000
<v Speaker 7>What do you think the God is going to need

0:27:36.160 --> 0:27:37.680
<v Speaker 7>at this trade deadline?

0:27:38.000 --> 0:27:40.880
<v Speaker 2>Well, I think catching could be a spot they go

0:27:41.160 --> 0:27:44.640
<v Speaker 2>in an upgrade. I don't know at what level they're

0:27:44.680 --> 0:27:47.359
<v Speaker 2>gonna go. If it's adi Ruchman, if it's a a

0:27:47.440 --> 0:27:49.919
<v Speaker 2>pie has there in Saint Louis who they've got some

0:27:50.040 --> 0:27:52.639
<v Speaker 2>depth availability to make a trade and help out the

0:27:52.680 --> 0:27:55.199
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers with their depth at the catching spot. But with

0:27:55.320 --> 0:27:57.720
<v Speaker 2>Dalton rushing scratch with a little bit of irritation in

0:27:57.800 --> 0:28:01.520
<v Speaker 2>his elbow, Will Smith still he had three four weeks

0:28:01.520 --> 0:28:05.240
<v Speaker 2>away from being ready to play against the major league level.

0:28:06.040 --> 0:28:07.760
<v Speaker 2>You can make a serious case that they need to

0:28:07.760 --> 0:28:10.080
<v Speaker 2>make a trade for a catcher tomorrow by three o'clock.

0:28:10.119 --> 0:28:15.400
<v Speaker 6>Blake, Yeah, And I would like to see Alex calgo

0:28:16.480 --> 0:28:17.879
<v Speaker 6>and they will gut and Mt.

0:28:18.160 --> 0:28:21.040
<v Speaker 7>Hand Kit is really not doing that great.

0:28:21.400 --> 0:28:24.040
<v Speaker 2>He struggled, no doubt about. I'd like to see Eric

0:28:24.080 --> 0:28:27.080
<v Speaker 2>Lauer stay, Blake. I think he has been absolutely fantastic

0:28:27.400 --> 0:28:30.240
<v Speaker 2>since coming over from the Blue Jays, and I don't

0:28:30.280 --> 0:28:32.200
<v Speaker 2>mind throwing him out there once a week in a

0:28:32.280 --> 0:28:35.520
<v Speaker 2>six man rotation. I don't care who's back and who's healthy.

0:28:35.720 --> 0:28:38.320
<v Speaker 2>I think he has earned the right to stick around. Now,

0:28:38.360 --> 0:28:40.800
<v Speaker 2>will he? We'll find out. You know, there was no

0:28:40.880 --> 0:28:42.800
<v Speaker 2>guarantees when they made the trade for him. They took

0:28:42.840 --> 0:28:45.240
<v Speaker 2>a flyer on him when nobody else would and they would,

0:28:45.280 --> 0:28:48.080
<v Speaker 2>and you know, traded him for cash considerations and they

0:28:48.120 --> 0:28:50.000
<v Speaker 2>have turned him into an absolute Jim again like he

0:28:50.080 --> 0:28:56.480
<v Speaker 2>was pitching last year. Yeah, he is all right, Blake.

0:28:56.520 --> 0:28:58.120
<v Speaker 2>Great to hear from you, my man. I'll be back

0:28:58.120 --> 0:29:00.120
<v Speaker 2>in a couple of days as the Dodgers start a

0:29:00.160 --> 0:29:03.000
<v Speaker 2>six game road trip, three in Chicago. I'll be back

0:29:03.040 --> 0:29:04.320
<v Speaker 2>on Wednesday, on the getaway day.

0:29:06.160 --> 0:29:08.440
<v Speaker 9>Okay, I talked to you Wednesday.

0:29:08.440 --> 0:29:11.760
<v Speaker 2>God's good. My guy. Blake in Colorado checking in here

0:29:12.000 --> 0:29:15.800
<v Speaker 2>on Dodger Talk. Ken at Newport Beach, Ken, Welcome to

0:29:15.840 --> 0:29:18.520
<v Speaker 2>Dodger Talk. The sky is not falling, even though they

0:29:18.600 --> 0:29:20.360
<v Speaker 2>lost all three to the Red Sox.

0:29:20.520 --> 0:29:24.240
<v Speaker 8>I know, I got two quick things to talk about,

0:29:24.280 --> 0:29:28.280
<v Speaker 8>christ Off. I spent yesterday sending messages up to about

0:29:28.480 --> 0:29:32.040
<v Speaker 8>thirty people that are complaining about the Dodgers. They were

0:29:32.160 --> 0:29:35.400
<v Speaker 8>ruining the game of baseball, that everything was going to

0:29:35.520 --> 0:29:38.080
<v Speaker 8>change next year. And then I pointed out to them

0:29:38.160 --> 0:29:44.760
<v Speaker 8>that that's my checked. Yankees won five in a row

0:29:45.360 --> 0:29:48.480
<v Speaker 8>and the Bosome Suffix won eight.

0:29:48.720 --> 0:29:53.560
<v Speaker 10>Room, Denny, you're alva jumping down and screaming and yelling

0:29:53.920 --> 0:29:59.880
<v Speaker 10>about that that's part of the game, and complained about that,

0:30:00.120 --> 0:30:02.040
<v Speaker 10>and they're going crazy.

0:30:02.120 --> 0:30:06.280
<v Speaker 8>Complaining makes no sense. It just sounds like jealousy, Bros.

0:30:06.280 --> 0:30:09.760
<v Speaker 8>The pictures are concerned. I don't want to see Sheen anymore.

0:30:10.040 --> 0:30:13.000
<v Speaker 8>He's four and eight with a five point thirty e R.

0:30:13.960 --> 0:30:18.200
<v Speaker 8>No more done history. I do like Laur a lot.

0:30:18.360 --> 0:30:20.360
<v Speaker 8>He's four and all with the three R.

0:30:21.000 --> 0:30:23.240
<v Speaker 10>There's no comparison between the two.

0:30:24.000 --> 0:30:29.959
<v Speaker 8>So lease eat Blower, please say goodbye? Does she Han?

0:30:30.520 --> 0:30:33.880
<v Speaker 8>And would go on hey to bad three games? But

0:30:34.000 --> 0:30:34.840
<v Speaker 8>those things happen.

0:30:35.200 --> 0:30:37.320
<v Speaker 2>Ye all right, Ken, great to hear from you. Well,

0:30:37.480 --> 0:30:38.720
<v Speaker 2>I talk to you in a couple days, budd, I

0:30:38.720 --> 0:30:42.360
<v Speaker 2>appreciate it. He brings up a great point. And before

0:30:42.360 --> 0:30:45.800
<v Speaker 2>we get to Andrew Freeman here in his pregame comments

0:30:45.800 --> 0:30:48.400
<v Speaker 2>with David Abatt, say about how he pulled off this trade.

0:30:48.720 --> 0:30:51.479
<v Speaker 2>Keep in mind there's a lot of griping. There's a

0:30:51.720 --> 0:30:55.240
<v Speaker 2>lot of people around baseball. There are a lot of

0:30:55.280 --> 0:31:00.640
<v Speaker 2>sports fans, sports pundits, so called experts, and list talk

0:31:00.680 --> 0:31:05.440
<v Speaker 2>show host everybody complaining about the Dodgers. Oh, how did

0:31:05.480 --> 0:31:09.160
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers get trek'scoogle? How did the Tigers trade him

0:31:09.200 --> 0:31:12.120
<v Speaker 2>to the Dodge? Why would they do that? How are

0:31:12.120 --> 0:31:16.400
<v Speaker 2>they letting the rich get richer? Listen, folks, it was

0:31:16.440 --> 0:31:19.560
<v Speaker 2>as a trade involves two parties and they have to

0:31:19.600 --> 0:31:23.400
<v Speaker 2>agree upon it. To make it happen, every other team

0:31:23.440 --> 0:31:25.680
<v Speaker 2>in baseball, the twenty eight other teams that weren't a

0:31:25.720 --> 0:31:28.480
<v Speaker 2>part of this one on one trade, had the opportunity

0:31:28.720 --> 0:31:31.520
<v Speaker 2>to look at their farm system, to look at their

0:31:31.600 --> 0:31:34.120
<v Speaker 2>team at the major league level, and put together a

0:31:34.240 --> 0:31:39.840
<v Speaker 2>package they felt was good enough to land at terrek'schooble. Now,

0:31:39.880 --> 0:31:42.440
<v Speaker 2>the Tigers are going to choose which packers they want

0:31:42.440 --> 0:31:44.520
<v Speaker 2>to go with. And I don't know how many teams

0:31:44.520 --> 0:31:47.120
<v Speaker 2>were involved in the actual bidding for a Terrek Schooble,

0:31:47.840 --> 0:31:50.760
<v Speaker 2>but the Tigers felt the Dodgers package was the best.

0:31:51.040 --> 0:31:53.720
<v Speaker 2>You may look at that package and say, that's it,

0:31:54.400 --> 0:31:57.320
<v Speaker 2>that's it. Why didn't the Brewers do more? Why didn't

0:31:57.320 --> 0:31:59.640
<v Speaker 2>the Yankees get involved? How come the Rays with all

0:31:59.640 --> 0:32:02.200
<v Speaker 2>that young talent and the great Pharmer system, how come

0:32:02.280 --> 0:32:06.280
<v Speaker 2>they didn't get him? Well, the Tigers didn't feel like

0:32:06.320 --> 0:32:09.200
<v Speaker 2>it was good enough in return. And that's all that matters,

0:32:09.280 --> 0:32:13.520
<v Speaker 2>is what the Detroit Tigers wanted. The Dodgers had to

0:32:14.240 --> 0:32:18.040
<v Speaker 2>ask for a trade and get the permission of the Tigers,

0:32:18.400 --> 0:32:21.719
<v Speaker 2>who they're the ones controlling everything. They have to present

0:32:21.760 --> 0:32:23.880
<v Speaker 2>them with the trade and the other teams the one

0:32:23.880 --> 0:32:26.160
<v Speaker 2>has got to sign off on it, not the other

0:32:26.200 --> 0:32:30.560
<v Speaker 2>way around. The Dodgers presented who they felt was a

0:32:30.600 --> 0:32:32.920
<v Speaker 2>good a lot of the players for a trade for

0:32:33.040 --> 0:32:35.480
<v Speaker 2>Trek Scooble, and they signed off and made a trade

0:32:35.480 --> 0:32:37.360
<v Speaker 2>between the two of them. I don't want to hear

0:32:37.400 --> 0:32:40.000
<v Speaker 2>the griping anymore. I don't want to hear the whining

0:32:40.080 --> 0:32:44.880
<v Speaker 2>and complaining from baseball people, baseball fans, and people out

0:32:44.880 --> 0:32:48.160
<v Speaker 2>there saying they're ruining the game. If this were free

0:32:48.160 --> 0:32:50.480
<v Speaker 2>agency and they just went out and said, here's a

0:32:50.480 --> 0:32:53.240
<v Speaker 2>blank check, you fill it in. Trek Scooble, come join

0:32:53.280 --> 0:32:55.520
<v Speaker 2>our team. Okay, we can sit there and have an

0:32:55.600 --> 0:32:58.640
<v Speaker 2>argument about, all right, this isn't fair. They've got a

0:32:58.640 --> 0:33:02.160
<v Speaker 2>blank checkbook and everybody else is just fighting for second.

0:33:02.520 --> 0:33:04.240
<v Speaker 2>But there are a lot of teams out there spending

0:33:04.280 --> 0:33:06.880
<v Speaker 2>money in Major League Baseball, and there are a lot

0:33:06.880 --> 0:33:10.080
<v Speaker 2>of teams that should be spending more money across Major

0:33:10.200 --> 0:33:13.040
<v Speaker 2>League Baseball, but their owners don't want to. They've got

0:33:13.080 --> 0:33:15.800
<v Speaker 2>the money, they just don't want to spend it. The

0:33:15.880 --> 0:33:18.120
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers are on ownership that want to spend it and

0:33:18.160 --> 0:33:20.920
<v Speaker 2>put it back into their team, and they're smart about

0:33:20.920 --> 0:33:24.480
<v Speaker 2>the decisions they make. Are they gonna hit on everyone. No,

0:33:25.000 --> 0:33:26.760
<v Speaker 2>a lot of grip, and he complaining here on Dodger

0:33:26.800 --> 0:33:29.080
<v Speaker 2>talk about it, certain Kyle Tucker and how he hasn't

0:33:29.080 --> 0:33:33.320
<v Speaker 2>lived up to his massive deal. Shoe Ao Tani certainly

0:33:33.320 --> 0:33:36.240
<v Speaker 2>has the trades for rookie Betts, you know, the signing

0:33:36.240 --> 0:33:39.840
<v Speaker 2>to Freddie Freeman, the trades that brought him, the players

0:33:39.880 --> 0:33:42.200
<v Speaker 2>that they flipped in for Trek Scooble. I don't see

0:33:42.240 --> 0:33:44.560
<v Speaker 2>Buddy complaining about the Matt Baty trade and the Michael

0:33:44.560 --> 0:33:47.240
<v Speaker 2>Bush trade. They got him River Ryan and Zayer Hope

0:33:47.280 --> 0:33:50.120
<v Speaker 2>in those trades. They turned around and use that trade

0:33:50.160 --> 0:33:53.640
<v Speaker 2>equity to then bundle up and get Trek Scooble. Every

0:33:53.640 --> 0:33:55.680
<v Speaker 2>other team could have done that. We look at the

0:33:55.720 --> 0:33:58.360
<v Speaker 2>Baseball Top one hundred minor league prospects. The Dodgers had

0:33:58.360 --> 0:34:00.720
<v Speaker 2>what nine on there. They're still a lot of players

0:34:00.760 --> 0:34:02.200
<v Speaker 2>from a lot of other teams that are still in

0:34:02.200 --> 0:34:04.200
<v Speaker 2>the top one hundred list in which the scouts and

0:34:04.240 --> 0:34:07.440
<v Speaker 2>teams all look at and ranked players. So there are

0:34:07.440 --> 0:34:09.400
<v Speaker 2>other teams that could have got involved. But hey, it

0:34:09.440 --> 0:34:11.880
<v Speaker 2>was the Detroit Tiger's decision on who they felt with

0:34:11.960 --> 0:34:14.560
<v Speaker 2>the best return for Terrek Schouble, and they felt like

0:34:14.600 --> 0:34:17.520
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers were the best in return. That's it can't

0:34:17.520 --> 0:34:20.120
<v Speaker 2>complain that the Dodgers did anything wrong. They put together

0:34:20.160 --> 0:34:22.640
<v Speaker 2>a trader proposal and the Detroit Tigers are the one

0:34:22.640 --> 0:34:24.680
<v Speaker 2>They had to accept it, and they did, and the

0:34:24.680 --> 0:34:26.360
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers had to give up something to get him. And

0:34:26.400 --> 0:34:28.520
<v Speaker 2>we'll see in a few years what Zayier hope is,

0:34:28.960 --> 0:34:31.200
<v Speaker 2>we'll see what River Ryan's able to turn into. And

0:34:31.239 --> 0:34:33.239
<v Speaker 2>I think he's a really good young guy and a

0:34:33.280 --> 0:34:34.840
<v Speaker 2>good young man off the field, and I hope the

0:34:34.880 --> 0:34:37.080
<v Speaker 2>best for all the three of those now former Dodgers.

0:34:37.480 --> 0:34:41.239
<v Speaker 2>All right. Earlier today, Andrew Freeman caught up with David

0:34:41.320 --> 0:34:44.720
<v Speaker 2>Vassay to talk about how in the world he landed

0:34:44.800 --> 0:34:45.440
<v Speaker 2>Terrek Schouble.

0:34:45.800 --> 0:34:50.600
<v Speaker 11>I think yesterday afternoon, even then, I would say that

0:34:50.680 --> 0:34:53.560
<v Speaker 11>I was more confident, but not confident. You have no

0:34:53.640 --> 0:34:58.640
<v Speaker 11>idea exactly what other teams were offering. And obviously it's

0:34:58.680 --> 0:35:01.319
<v Speaker 11>in Scott Harris's entry to make it seem like it's

0:35:01.320 --> 0:35:04.000
<v Speaker 11>more from other teams, and you know, he's probably saying

0:35:04.040 --> 0:35:09.200
<v Speaker 11>that to every team. But we knew that what we

0:35:09.280 --> 0:35:11.320
<v Speaker 11>put out there was aggressive and there was no way

0:35:11.800 --> 0:35:15.759
<v Speaker 11>that someone was beating it by a lot and so

0:35:15.840 --> 0:35:20.520
<v Speaker 11>then the question was, you know, obviously how they see

0:35:20.560 --> 0:35:24.600
<v Speaker 11>our guys, and you know, just through conversation felt reasonably confident.

0:35:24.600 --> 0:35:26.520
<v Speaker 11>But until he called and said, hey, we have a deal,

0:35:27.120 --> 0:35:27.799
<v Speaker 11>I wasn't sure.

0:35:28.280 --> 0:35:30.239
<v Speaker 2>We all know how good Schooble is when he's on

0:35:30.280 --> 0:35:34.759
<v Speaker 2>the mound, but you obviously witnessed what made Cruse shot great.

0:35:34.880 --> 0:35:37.600
<v Speaker 2>It wasn't just every fifth day, but the way he

0:35:37.719 --> 0:35:39.840
<v Speaker 2>competed in the weight room, the way he pushed and

0:35:39.920 --> 0:35:42.520
<v Speaker 2>had everybody feel that accountability to do the same.

0:35:43.120 --> 0:35:45.080
<v Speaker 7>It feels like Schooble's that type of guy.

0:35:45.920 --> 0:35:48.920
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, everything we've gotten on the guy, the makeup the

0:35:48.960 --> 0:35:52.520
<v Speaker 11>competitor is as good as you could ask for, which

0:35:52.680 --> 0:35:56.080
<v Speaker 11>in turn made us even more aggressive and trying to

0:35:56.120 --> 0:36:01.600
<v Speaker 11>require him. That's like watching him last October gave me goosebumps.

0:36:02.920 --> 0:36:05.520
<v Speaker 11>I love watching playoff baseball, especially when I don't care

0:36:05.520 --> 0:36:08.839
<v Speaker 11>about the outcome. I hate watching our games, but love

0:36:08.920 --> 0:36:13.320
<v Speaker 11>watching others, And it gave me goosebumps watching him compete

0:36:13.400 --> 0:36:16.760
<v Speaker 11>last October. You could feel the energy through the TV

0:36:18.760 --> 0:36:21.200
<v Speaker 11>and just the way he goes after hitters. It's rare

0:36:21.239 --> 0:36:25.239
<v Speaker 11>to have that combination of power to your stuff and

0:36:25.360 --> 0:36:28.560
<v Speaker 11>also feel in command. So to have that kind of

0:36:28.560 --> 0:36:31.800
<v Speaker 11>dominant stuff and not walk guys, challenge hitters in the

0:36:31.840 --> 0:36:34.600
<v Speaker 11>strike zone, be able to throw pitches kind of on

0:36:34.760 --> 0:36:38.359
<v Speaker 11>to off to get miss. It's exactly how you draw

0:36:38.400 --> 0:36:43.360
<v Speaker 11>it up. And he is incredibly talented and really excited

0:36:43.360 --> 0:36:45.560
<v Speaker 11>about watching him compete in Dodger Blue.

0:36:46.160 --> 0:36:49.000
<v Speaker 2>All right, there's Andrew Freeman with David Vassa earlier today,

0:36:49.120 --> 0:36:51.719
<v Speaker 2>I are on Dodgers on deck? Is Trek Google is

0:36:51.760 --> 0:36:54.279
<v Speaker 2>now wearing a Dodger uniform. Whether you like it or not,

0:36:54.400 --> 0:36:57.040
<v Speaker 2>Baseball World, he is a Dodger and he's here for

0:36:57.080 --> 0:36:59.080
<v Speaker 2>the rest of the season, and the Dodgers are pushing

0:36:59.400 --> 0:37:04.080
<v Speaker 2>for a back to back to back championship run. All right,

0:37:04.280 --> 0:37:07.120
<v Speaker 2>is he? Is he in Anaheim? Our final call the

0:37:07.200 --> 0:37:09.279
<v Speaker 2>night on this Sunday after the Dodgers get beat by

0:37:09.280 --> 0:37:11.640
<v Speaker 2>the Red Sox eight to four, they get swept in

0:37:11.680 --> 0:37:14.879
<v Speaker 2>this three game series. But it's all right, Trek Scoogle's here,

0:37:14.960 --> 0:37:17.239
<v Speaker 2>is he? Yeah?

0:37:17.480 --> 0:37:22.319
<v Speaker 9>That's great? Yeah, it's really great. Who care? But I

0:37:22.480 --> 0:37:27.160
<v Speaker 9>hate leading to any leading to Boston. But whatever, I'll

0:37:27.239 --> 0:37:30.759
<v Speaker 9>live through it. But no, listen, hey, I'm so I'm

0:37:30.800 --> 0:37:34.400
<v Speaker 9>glad that now we did that. But then telling you what,

0:37:34.560 --> 0:37:37.880
<v Speaker 9>we need an extra We need an extra catcher, we

0:37:38.080 --> 0:37:38.520
<v Speaker 9>really do.

0:37:38.880 --> 0:37:39.920
<v Speaker 7>So I hate to.

0:37:39.880 --> 0:37:42.640
<v Speaker 9>See that hours go, but we have to go then

0:37:42.680 --> 0:37:46.160
<v Speaker 9>and go. So but yeah, and we'll see how this

0:37:46.360 --> 0:37:49.600
<v Speaker 9>week go. They're gonna have a tough, tough week, so

0:37:49.800 --> 0:37:53.480
<v Speaker 9>at least at least what's the cargo. So we'll see

0:37:53.560 --> 0:37:54.440
<v Speaker 9>how this week go.

0:37:54.640 --> 0:37:56.960
<v Speaker 2>So it's gonna be We're gonna be an interesting road trip.

0:37:57.000 --> 0:37:58.719
<v Speaker 2>It's gonna be a tough six games, is he. There's

0:37:58.719 --> 0:38:01.400
<v Speaker 2>no doubt about it. They're going to two teams in

0:38:01.440 --> 0:38:04.840
<v Speaker 2>two cities here that are fighting for wildcard spots in

0:38:04.880 --> 0:38:06.840
<v Speaker 2>the National League. In fact, they're both holding on to

0:38:07.040 --> 0:38:09.160
<v Speaker 2>a wildcard spot of the National League, and the Cubs

0:38:09.440 --> 0:38:11.800
<v Speaker 2>and the Diamondbacks both teams really out of their divisional

0:38:11.880 --> 0:38:14.799
<v Speaker 2>races at the moment. The Diamonbacks ten games back and

0:38:14.800 --> 0:38:16.399
<v Speaker 2>the Cubbies, I believe we six and a half games

0:38:16.440 --> 0:38:19.320
<v Speaker 2>back in the NL Central but again leading the wildcard

0:38:19.360 --> 0:38:21.000
<v Speaker 2>race in the National League. So they got a lot

0:38:21.040 --> 0:38:23.719
<v Speaker 2>to play for. They're hungry. The Diamondbacks just swept the

0:38:23.719 --> 0:38:25.919
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers in the three games right before the All Star

0:38:26.000 --> 0:38:28.520
<v Speaker 2>break at Dodger Stadium. I mentioned it during the course

0:38:28.560 --> 0:38:30.480
<v Speaker 2>of the first half of the season. If the Diamondbacks

0:38:30.520 --> 0:38:32.400
<v Speaker 2>were still in the playoff race, I thought they'd be

0:38:32.400 --> 0:38:35.200
<v Speaker 2>a contender for Trek Scooble. Certainly they can still go

0:38:35.280 --> 0:38:36.960
<v Speaker 2>out and get a starting pitching. There's been a couple

0:38:37.000 --> 0:38:40.520
<v Speaker 2>of trades already before the trade deadline. Trek School will

0:38:40.520 --> 0:38:42.080
<v Speaker 2>being the big win, of course for the Dodgers. But

0:38:42.440 --> 0:38:45.040
<v Speaker 2>we've already seen Kevin Gosman go to the Cubs, Luis

0:38:45.040 --> 0:38:47.560
<v Speaker 2>Castillo go from Seattle to the White Sox, Freddy Peralta

0:38:47.719 --> 0:38:49.440
<v Speaker 2>going from the Mets to the Tampa Bay Ray. So

0:38:49.719 --> 0:38:52.200
<v Speaker 2>pitching has been the thing that has gone first so far.

0:38:52.440 --> 0:38:54.320
<v Speaker 2>As we get closer and closer to the three pm

0:38:54.360 --> 0:38:56.840
<v Speaker 2>trade deadline tomorrow, so we'll see what else happens between

0:38:57.160 --> 0:38:59.440
<v Speaker 2>then and now. That's gonna do it for Dodger to

0:38:59.520 --> 0:39:02.440
<v Speaker 2>talk to night. Many thanks to Colin you, thanks to

0:39:02.440 --> 0:39:03.920
<v Speaker 2>all you Dodger fans for being a part of the

0:39:03.960 --> 0:39:08.359
<v Speaker 2>show and they can stay. Andrew Freeman for a giving

0:39:08.400 --> 0:39:11.160
<v Speaker 2>us a little insight there about the trade process for

0:39:11.280 --> 0:39:14.160
<v Speaker 2>Arrek Scooble and how it went down and how yesterday

0:39:14.200 --> 0:39:16.239
<v Speaker 2>and it presented the trade and we're waiting to hear

0:39:16.360 --> 0:39:19.359
<v Speaker 2>back from the Tigers' front office and finally did. And

0:39:19.400 --> 0:39:21.600
<v Speaker 2>as he said, until you hear we have a deal,

0:39:22.120 --> 0:39:24.359
<v Speaker 2>you don't have a deal. And the Dodgers were able

0:39:24.400 --> 0:39:26.400
<v Speaker 2>to get it done. And now Trek schools, we're at

0:39:26.440 --> 0:39:29.400
<v Speaker 2>number twenty nine. We're in a Dodger uniform today and

0:39:29.600 --> 0:39:31.439
<v Speaker 2>we'll be wearing a Dodger uniform the rest of twenty

0:39:31.480 --> 0:39:33.760
<v Speaker 2>twenty six. And again we'll be making his Dodger debut
