- He was fightin' so hard to fill that gap in the Dodgers' lineup and he didn't know he was wearin' his arm out.

- They take him off the field. The coach looks him over.

- Let's see that arm. Oh. Pretty bad.

- We're gettin' near the home stretch, and they'll be pickin' players for the Dodgers. You gotta make it.
