 So they got Peterson in left tonight, Kike Hernandez is in center and he's fine there and then Verdugo is in right Remember Puyg just went on the DL2, but let's talk about the Seager He's about his time. I know the Dodgers are DPK, but he's about as tough as a person to replace in the game I'd have to think I'd say position player wise That was the one guy that they really couldn't afford to miss because they have a lot of depth There's no question, but their depth extends for a couple weeks not for an entire season. So a guy like Corey Seager The Dodgers, I think what they do is they see where they're at come trade deadline I don't think you go out and make a move you have to see they haven't played well with Corey Seager up this first month And this first month their schedule was not all that demanding in fact going into tonight's ball game The only team that they played that had over a 500 record were these Arizona Diamondbacks So they've got to get their own house in order once they do that then they can explore options But Chris Taylor is the option right now. That's where he's playing tonight Frank What do you see? I feel your pain. I need a hug Frank. The Dodgers man You know, it's just unfortunate right now. They got injuries to deal with But losing this kid is one of the faces of baseball watching him play through the playoff effortlessly effortlessly and the World Series He's a young superstar to game. I hate to see this happen, but the Dodgers got to find a way They got a lot of depth. They got a lot of superstars in the roster They collectively got to come together in that locker room and pull that rope together because this team is Underachieving right now and everyone knows and you see and Dave Roberts now trying to turn and twist some buttons to get those guys going You know, and this is a you know, obviously they're gonna they're gonna they're gonna fool the offense They're gonna see might as well see what Verdugo the kid can do while he's here, right? And if he can play I'm sure who play in the mix But just defensively I guess key K is the best defensive short stuff they have left right now Is that fair to say? Well, I he's but he's so versatile and he has to play everywhere And that's that's a problem not only do you take Seager out of the lineup But now you thrust other guys into positions where you can't use them where you would have used them prior if Seager's out there So key K may have to become an everyday guy We're now Taylor goes here now that for that to short and then you force some outfielders to play But as you mentioned you find out if Verdugo Verdugo can play there's no question about it He just needs an opportunity But what the Dodgers won't do and they've shown this historically especially with this front office They're not gonna go out and get held up for ransom. They will not do that Yeah, they won't and one thing about Taylor, right? You know you think about the breakout year he had at center field. He is an infielder by trade So it's not just they're just throwing a guy there has never played the infield before so Clearly an issue for the Dodgers who as we said, they're not playing well So it's like just it's just one thing after another so Frank What kind of message was this year was this is that tired of the losing give me a feel for what the manager was thinking I really believe you know all managers before spring training they bring guys in I mean for big meeting and say hey Certain things I'm not gonna deal with on the field one is lack of hustle One is being late and another is being disrespectful to your clubhouse and your teammates So what I think he was trying to do is send a message to the team we lack of hustle right now We're underachieving you might as well point out the biggest star on the team at this point, which is Corey Cody Belger Yeah, I mean he goes after I think he's trying to make a point just in that it's been a frustrating month and Look at I've been saying it as well. Well, it's gonna turn. It's going to come It's going to come and this happens leading right into a big series with Arizona who is you know six seven games up in the Lost column here comes a four-game series the Dodgers in this situation right here on the verge of getting you know beaten three out of four in San Francisco And like I said earlier the Dodgers have not played a difficult schedule The Arizona is the only team that they have played coming in a night that has over a 500 record. So Doc is trying to maybe spark something But I also think there's an element of frustration and it's look guys It's not just gonna happen for us and we better get our blank together now Well, we're gonna find ourselves so far back that there's gonna be no postseason I've been there, you know in my my career when things are going bad I've had managers try to needle me to get everybody else going and it works from time to time So there was nothing disrespectful about it. Doc's been around a while Dave. I love them Well, we've managed he's trying to get a spark in that clubhouse Whatever you got to do some time do it to the top players because the top players will ignite the rest of team It makes a lot of sense makes a lot of sense. We'll see if it works not working yet so far tonight
