00:00Freddie Freeman, this is kind of in the same situation where, you know, where you drafted him, you're obviously not moving on from him.

00:06He's off to a slow start. It's been a weird season for him.

00:09He got scratched when they were, you know, in Japan for the first two opening games.

00:12Then he came back. He went on the IL. I assume it's just a wait with what you have when it comes to Freddie Freeman.

00:18It's certainly the Denver situation all over again, right?

00:21Came into the season with an injury and we were concerned about it.

00:24You mentioned he missed the first couple of games in Japan, the Tokyo series there.

00:30Maybe the one big difference is second round pick again.

00:33And you probably worry during the draft season about picking him, but there were only, what, five good first basemen?

00:38I mean, Guerrero, Harper, Alonzo, who we all had worries about at the same time, Olsen, and pretty much Freeman.

00:45That's it. You know, we didn't have a lot there.

00:47So you're probably happy to get Freeman here.

00:49And now you're thinking, oh, God, you know, there's nothing you can do here.

00:52You're keeping him. You're more than likely starting him.

00:55It's not just Freeman, by the way.

00:56The entire Dodger team's not hitting outside of Tommy Edmund.

01:00Where would the Dodgers be?

01:01The Dodgers, we thought, were going to win 172 games in a 162-game season.

01:05But where would they be without Tommy Edmund?

01:07I mean, this guy right now is a league winner.

01:09You know, if he stops hitting it, there may be a lot of trouble.

01:11What, Freeman's not hitting?

01:12Muncy has no idea what a baseball is.

01:15Mookie Betts hasn't done much.

01:16Maybe it's the food poisoning catching up to him, whatever it is.

01:19But he hasn't done much yet.

01:20You go up and down this lineup.

01:21No one's really hitting.

01:23I'll give Teoscar Hernandez some love.

01:24He actually is hitting.

01:25I'll give you.
