Hope you're well. On this Monday night, 10 00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:38,519 Speaker 2: the homestead continues for your Los Angeles Dodgers, who are 11 00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:41,080 Speaker 2: fifty nine and forty one on this season. 12 00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:47,159 Speaker 1: First place to the end, Chavez Ravine. Monday night, it's dusk, 13 00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:52,000 Speaker 1: about an hour before first pitch. The Dodgers' bullpen and 14 00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:55,800 Speaker 1: right field is empty except for one guy who's hunched 15 00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:59,720 Speaker 1: over head in his hands. He looks like he's deep 16 00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:03,720 Speaker 1: in prayer or maybe, as somebody suggested on Twitter, he's 17 00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:07,160 Speaker 1: about to wretch on the back of his jersey the 18 00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:12,440 Speaker 1: number seventy seven. This was our first image of the 19 00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:16,600 Speaker 1: newest Dodgers rookie, a twenty five year old flame throwing 20 00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:19,000 Speaker 1: right hander from Huntersville, North Carolina. 21 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:23,119 Speaker 2: River Ryan River. That's probably one of our favorite names, 22 00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:25,360 Speaker 2: River Ryan. It just sounds like a big league River. 23 00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:29,360 Speaker 1: Ryan is such a great name, and it's a name 24 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:33,080 Speaker 1: that's been ringing out across Dodgerland for years already, even 25 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:35,800 Speaker 1: before his call up from the Dodgers Triple A affiliate 26 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:36,760 Speaker 1: in Oklahoma City. 27 00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:40,720 Speaker 2: On Monday, Dodger pitching prospects called up from the minor leagues, 28 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 2: makes his major league debut to night. 29 00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:46,600 Speaker 1: The New York Times ranked Ryan the number two prospect 30 00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:48,760 Speaker 1: in the Dodgers system earlier this year. 31 00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:52,800 Speaker 2: This is something that is really exciting for us. It's 32 00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:53,920 Speaker 2: big stuff. 33 00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:57,200 Speaker 1: It's a high velocity fastball as a curveball, that slider, 34 00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:00,240 Speaker 1: a change of bit. Welcome to Dodger Blue Dream. I'm 35 00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:04,640 Speaker 1: Richard Parks. Today's episode River and the Rookies. 36 00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:07,560 Speaker 2: Five year old River Riot. It's about to become a 37 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:08,200 Speaker 2: big leaker. 38 00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:10,760 Speaker 1: I was there Monday night to see his debut, and 39 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 1: so I can tell you he's a big fella. He's 40 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:18,639 Speaker 1: listed at six two one ninety five and he throws gas. 41 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:22,799 Speaker 1: River's right arm is why the Dodgers converted him from 42 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,960 Speaker 1: a two way shortstop to a full time starting pitcher 43 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,240 Speaker 1: after picking him up in a trade with the Padres 44 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 1: a couple years ago. His four seam fastball touches ninety 45 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:33,680 Speaker 1: nine miles per out at. 46 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:35,960 Speaker 3: A perfect Southern California day for him to make this 47 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 3: debut under light blue skies. 48 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,000 Speaker 1: So I found it of interest when his first pitch 49 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:44,160 Speaker 1: was not a fastball but a slider, and River walked 50 00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:45,760 Speaker 1: the first batter that he faced. 51 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 3: Wait, it cracks a basuit to latch center food and 52 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,959 Speaker 3: first to reach for the giants Vargus Jackson. So they're 53 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 3: trying to make him pay the throw boxes in time, and. 54 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:59,440 Speaker 1: He si, I'm sure he was feeling butterflies, because I. 55 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 2: Think that I even was. 56 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 1: And the first inning was a little rocky with a 57 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 1: weird play in the outfield from Miguel Vargas, but on flies. 58 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:08,519 Speaker 2: Shadow left center field. 59 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 3: Man does out of this adventure of her first big 60 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 3: good getting Cubs Dull close with a zero up for River. 61 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:16,919 Speaker 2: Ryan offed Roland in Los Angeles. 62 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,200 Speaker 1: After that, River pretty much settled in. 63 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:23,239 Speaker 2: Perfect pitch sprazy. 64 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:26,080 Speaker 3: He got his first name strike out the fastball to 65 00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:27,320 Speaker 3: get Tyler Fitzgerald. 66 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:31,839 Speaker 1: Peter Rule underscored the occasion with a couple River oriented 67 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 1: songs by Justin Timberlake and Henry Mancini and the crowd, 68 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 1: which included River's family, soaked it up. 69 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,280 Speaker 2: Did he go? You bet he did it? Back to 70 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,520 Speaker 2: back good cutters from River Roynald. What a debut this 71 00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:46,640 Speaker 2: has been for River. 72 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 1: N River ended up giving up just one earned run 73 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,600 Speaker 1: in five and a third innings, and when Dave Roberts 74 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 1: came to get the ball from him in the sixth, 75 00:03:54,560 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 1: the youngster walked off to a standing ovation, which he deserved. 76 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,720 Speaker 1: I mean, imagine getting a phone call, Hey, You're coming 77 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 1: to LA today to make your first start in the 78 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:11,040 Speaker 1: big leagues in front of fifty thousand people, and against 79 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 1: Blake Snell, by the way, the reigning nl Cy Young winner. 80 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 1: It's not an easy thing to do. And River Ryan 81 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 1: did it. He gave the team a chance to win. 82 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:23,600 Speaker 1: And that's the most you could ever hope for from 83 00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 1: a rookie call up on his debut night, and the 84 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:31,279 Speaker 1: Dodgers did win. Teoscar Hernandez drove in all three runs 85 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:34,360 Speaker 1: in a three to two victory against the rival Giants. 86 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:38,200 Speaker 1: Purse congratulations. How would you just describe being out there 87 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 1: on that mound. Now back to that first image of 88 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:44,479 Speaker 1: River Ryan hunched over in the bullpen. Was he praying 89 00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 1: or puking. 90 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 2: But I spent some time with the Lord earlier today. 91 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,360 Speaker 1: I definitely prayed when I got on the mound, helped 92 00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:54,840 Speaker 1: them call my nerves. I'd say his prayers were answered. 93 00:04:56,240 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 1: But River Ryan's day deb underlines something troubling about the 94 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,480 Speaker 1: Dodgers twenty twenty four season, because it's become an all 95 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 1: too frequent site this year, a rookie pitcher taking the 96 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:14,080 Speaker 1: ball in the first inning. Ryan was the sixth Dodgers 97 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 1: pitcher overall and the fourth starting pitcher to make his 98 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:22,200 Speaker 1: major league debut in twenty twenty four. Landon Nack rookie, 99 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:27,919 Speaker 1: Justin Robleski rookie. Even Yoshinobu Yamamoto is a rookie, and 100 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,880 Speaker 1: as the Dodgers limped into the All Star Break, Bobby 101 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:34,680 Speaker 1: Miller and Gavin Stone, rookie call ups last year, were 102 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:38,359 Speaker 1: beginning to look like the elder Statesman of our starting rotation. 103 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,760 Speaker 1: At the beginning of this week, the Dodgers had more 104 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:45,279 Speaker 1: than an entire rotation's worth of starters, many of them 105 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:51,880 Speaker 1: big dogs on the injured list, Dustin May, Yamamoto, Walker Buehler, 106 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 1: Tyler Glass, Noow Tony Gonsolyn, Imit Sheian Clayton Kershaw sounds 107 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 1: like a really good starting rotation and then some. But 108 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:07,599 Speaker 1: the night that River had his debut, they were all unavailable, 109 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:13,480 Speaker 1: recovering from things like Tommy John second Tommy John strained 110 00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:20,359 Speaker 1: rotator cuff, lower back tightness, and an esophagal tear. Just 111 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 1: how does one tear one's esophagus? That'll have to wait 112 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 1: for another episode. Because I'm concerned with the preponderance of 113 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:34,360 Speaker 1: rookie starting pitchers and the dearth of proven veterans. We've 114 00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:36,680 Speaker 1: been lucky with the young guys coming up to fill 115 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:40,200 Speaker 1: in the gaps, said manager Dave Roberts. They've been able 116 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,920 Speaker 1: to kind of allow us to sustain winning while at 117 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,880 Speaker 1: the same time cutting their teeth and gaining experience. So 118 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:49,159 Speaker 1: that's kind of the best of both worlds. And you 119 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:52,240 Speaker 1: might be thinking, what's wrong, Richard. The Dodgers are in 120 00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,920 Speaker 1: first place, seven and a half games up on the Padres, 121 00:06:56,200 --> 00:07:00,279 Speaker 1: nineteen games above five hundred. Given the cushy lead, isn't 122 00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:02,400 Speaker 1: it nice to see some young guys get a little 123 00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:07,680 Speaker 1: big league experience. I love rookies. It's so exciting to 124 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:11,239 Speaker 1: see what they can do, and I appreciate these guys. 125 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:14,880 Speaker 1: But I'm also concerned about what this means for our 126 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:18,600 Speaker 1: chances in the postseason and our chances to win the 127 00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 1: World Series. You can't win in October without a solid 128 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:27,640 Speaker 1: starting rotation and ideally starters who can go deep into 129 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 1: games and have been in the postseason before. And so 130 00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:34,760 Speaker 1: this week in which the Dodgers' newest rookie started on 131 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:39,239 Speaker 1: Monday and our longest standing veteran starts later in the day. Today, 132 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:42,360 Speaker 1: as I write these words on Thursday, with the trade 133 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 1: deadline looming on July thirtieth, just five days from now, 134 00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:49,920 Speaker 1: is an inflection point in the Dodgers twenty twenty four season. 135 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:56,120 Speaker 1: It all comes down to proven starting pitching. Let's talk 136 00:07:56,160 --> 00:08:02,920 Speaker 1: about it. We've got a couple big dogs coming off 137 00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:05,840 Speaker 1: the injured list this week to spell the young pups 138 00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:10,000 Speaker 1: who have been playing in their absence. Tyler Glasnow, who's 139 00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 1: pretty much been our ace this year, made his first 140 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:16,280 Speaker 1: start since before the All Star break on Wednesday, after 141 00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:19,320 Speaker 1: a fifteen day stint on the injured list with lower 142 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:22,679 Speaker 1: back tightness, and in what was a messy, bad game 143 00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:25,920 Speaker 1: for the Dodgers for other reasons. Glasnow had a solid 144 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:29,160 Speaker 1: first outing, giving up just two runs in five innings 145 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,640 Speaker 1: in the Dodgers eight to three loss against the Giants. 146 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:35,079 Speaker 1: I was also there to see this one, and Glasnow 147 00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:38,440 Speaker 1: didn't look one hundred percent. He was having some trouble 148 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:41,400 Speaker 1: with his command, and he walked four and the Giants 149 00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:44,280 Speaker 1: put some good swings on him. After the game, Glasnow 150 00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,880 Speaker 1: said that his mechanics felt a little weird and he 151 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,400 Speaker 1: wasn't really in a good rhythm. Just the whole night 152 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:52,120 Speaker 1: was kind of a struggle, he said. And this isn't 153 00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:56,119 Speaker 1: the greatest sign given that we dfa James Paxton aka 154 00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:59,959 Speaker 1: Big Maple, our only veteran starter who stayed healthy all season, 155 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 1: and to make room for River Ryan on the roster. 156 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:05,440 Speaker 1: Glasnow is kind of the one proven guy we have 157 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,439 Speaker 1: going right now. I mean, Gavin Stone's been having a 158 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:10,959 Speaker 1: great year, but he hasn't gotten close to pitching in 159 00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:16,920 Speaker 1: October before. He hasn't proven. But you know who is proven? 160 00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,679 Speaker 1: Clayton Edward Kershaw. 161 00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:24,719 Speaker 4: Clayton Kershaw with a regative six and two want to 162 00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:26,720 Speaker 4: zero against the Rockies this year. 163 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:32,400 Speaker 1: Clayton Kershaw, more than any other player, represents this era 164 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:36,440 Speaker 1: of the Los Angeles Dodgers. Kershaw is a ten time 165 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:40,120 Speaker 1: All Star, a three time nl Cy Young Award winner, 166 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:44,440 Speaker 1: He's the twenty fourteen NL Most Valuable Player and a 167 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:48,920 Speaker 1: World Series champion with the twenty twenty Dodgers. There's this 168 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:52,360 Speaker 1: image that you see a lot online in Dodgers' communities, 169 00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:55,640 Speaker 1: and it's an image that's seared into the brains and 170 00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:59,199 Speaker 1: memories of every Dodger fans. 171 00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:01,840 Speaker 2: Dodgers have won at. 172 00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:07,000 Speaker 1: All in twenty twenty, Clayton Kershaw running out of the 173 00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:11,000 Speaker 1: bullpen and onto the field in Arlington, Texas after the 174 00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:14,439 Speaker 1: last out of the twenty twenty World Series was recorded. 175 00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:18,520 Speaker 1: The smile on his face the fulfillment of a lifelong dream. 176 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:28,839 Speaker 1: He opens his hands and looks to the sky. Today, Thursday, 177 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:32,960 Speaker 1: July twenty fifth, the thirty six year old Dodger legend 178 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:36,040 Speaker 1: and first ballot Hall of Famer will be making his 179 00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:39,400 Speaker 1: first start of the season after undergoing shoulder surgery in 180 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:43,480 Speaker 1: the off season. And I'm so excited to see Kershaw back. 181 00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:49,960 Speaker 4: But Awsop pitched lace to the left sutter Field outlet 182 00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,440 Speaker 4: on the run, misjudged it and it pops out. 183 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:52,880 Speaker 2: Of his glove. 184 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:56,080 Speaker 1: We all know that when it comes to Kershaw's legacy, 185 00:10:56,440 --> 00:11:01,480 Speaker 1: his postseason performance has been inconsistent line to left of 186 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:04,720 Speaker 1: base hit and last year, in that one start in 187 00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:08,680 Speaker 1: our very disappointing NLDS loss to the d Backs, Kershaw 188 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:10,080 Speaker 1: was rocked hard. 189 00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:14,160 Speaker 4: Driven that deep leapt back way back and off the wall. 190 00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:16,120 Speaker 1: He didn't even make it out of the first inning. 191 00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:18,320 Speaker 4: He's had a rough time before in the postseason. This 192 00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:20,520 Speaker 4: has to be the worst of all those outings. 193 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:24,120 Speaker 1: And of course there are those who question our twenty 194 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:27,480 Speaker 1: twenty World Series win because the season was only sixty 195 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:32,040 Speaker 1: games long. We don't know how Kershaw will pitch coming 196 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:35,280 Speaker 1: back from his first major surgery of his career. We 197 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:38,640 Speaker 1: do know that his fastball isn't even reaching ninety miles 198 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:41,880 Speaker 1: an hour in rehab starts, and of course you can't 199 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,240 Speaker 1: expect him to be the pitcher he was in his prime. 200 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,720 Speaker 1: Who knows, Maybe this is it for Kersh. Maybe he 201 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:52,040 Speaker 1: just can't quite hack it in the big leagues anymore. 202 00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,240 Speaker 1: Even the greatest of all has to hang it up 203 00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:59,120 Speaker 1: at some point and let the kids play. And no 204 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,520 Speaker 1: matter what he does when he comes back, he can't 205 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:04,319 Speaker 1: do it on his own. We, of course, all hope 206 00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:07,600 Speaker 1: to see some moves made before the July thirtieth trade 207 00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:11,559 Speaker 1: deadline to address our starting pitching needs. But in the meantime, 208 00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:15,600 Speaker 1: I'm going down to Dodger Stadium to watch Clayton Kershaw pitch. 209 00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:21,800 Speaker 1: For us longtime Dodger fans, this is one of the 210 00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:25,880 Speaker 1: most important narratives of this season. We all want to 211 00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:29,480 Speaker 1: see Kersh come back strong, and more than anything, we 212 00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:33,840 Speaker 1: want to see him win. So Kershaw's return this week 213 00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:38,400 Speaker 1: seems to represent something bigger, something that is both important 214 00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:44,000 Speaker 1: for this season's success and important on a spiritual philosophical 215 00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:47,520 Speaker 1: level for what this player deserves and what he represents 216 00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:53,240 Speaker 1: for this team. And yes, our Dodger Blue dreams a 217 00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:57,400 Speaker 1: link to Vin Scully, to Sandy Kofax, to a time 218 00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:00,040 Speaker 1: when pitchers hit for themselves in the National League, and 219 00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:04,040 Speaker 1: a bridge to the future, a vet coming back to 220 00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:07,839 Speaker 1: step in with the rookies today, and a. 221 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:08,480 Speaker 2: Man of God. 222 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:15,840 Speaker 1: So let us pray or whatever your thing is, do it, 223 00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:20,200 Speaker 1: and let's see if we can get there this year together. 224 00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:28,720 Speaker 2: Cass, I like you game much.
