00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:12,760
Speaker 1: Immortality is within their reach. Incredible and while others make excuses.

4
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:14,520
Speaker 3: The only reason the Dodgers are doing this because they

5
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 3: can they print money.

6
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:17,360
Speaker 1: The Dodgers just can't continue.

7
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:18,160

8
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:19,520

Speaker 3: your O Tawni Rewind coming up, Charlie Steiner and Rick

35
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 3: Monday at the gallopin Ford Broadcast Booth in just a

36
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 3: couple of minutes. Well, the Dodgers were off yesterday before

37
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 3: that on Saturday night, they finished off a sweep of

38
00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 3: the Snakes. Tyler Glass now got the start and six innings.

39
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 3: He allowed two runs on four hits while striking out

40
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 3: six along the way. The Diamondbacks, like they did in

41
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 3: the first two games of this series, jumped out to

42
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:10,639
Speaker 3: the early lead. They were up two to nothing as

43
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 3: they failed though to hold that lead again, this time

44
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 3: Peven Smith the two out RBI single in the first

45
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 3: in Corbyn Carrol sacked flying the third off Tyler Glass

46
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:21,839
Speaker 3: Now and the Dodgers were in a hole, down two

47
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 3: to nothing. Arizona starter eduard O Rodriguez meanwhile gave the

48
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 3: Dodgers hitters some fits. He went five innings, gave up

49
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 3: a run on four hits while striking out five the

50
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:35,079
Speaker 3: first five innings really good. In the sixth inning, Dodgers

51
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 3: down two to nothing, when Kyle Tucker let off the inning,

52
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 3: reaching base on an air that would send Rodriguez to

53
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,919
Speaker 3: the bench. The Snakes would go to their bullpen. After

54
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 3: a pitching change, Mookie Betch flew out, Will Smith grounded out,

55
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 3: so two down. Kyle Tucker now at second when Freddy

56
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 3: Freeman came through.

57
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 2: Three ball, one strike pitch to Freeman. Lway's a go set.

58
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:59,920
Speaker 2: He kicks fires Man. Freddie hits him inside a third,

59
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 2: down the line, play ball.

60
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:02,919
Speaker 6: Tucker will around third.

61
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 2: He'll score Freeman around first.

62
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,520
Speaker 6: He is in a second base with a double.

63
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 2: The five hundred forty eight career double for Freddie Freeman

64
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 2: is now tied Alex Rodriguez on the all time list

65
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 2: thirty third all time, and he drives into Dodgers first

66
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 2: run of the game and represents the tying run at

67
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 2: second base.

68
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 3: Freddie Freeman delivering with the RBI double. He went three

69
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 3: for four, ending an zero for eight skid to start

70
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 3: the season. Dodgers down two to one. Fast forward to

71
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 3: the eighth, little two out magic Mookie Betts, a two

72
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 3: out walk, next batter, Will Smith fell behind two, then

73
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 3: a couple of balls. It was a two to two count.

74
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 3: Fouled up a couple of pitches. Pitch seven of the bat,

75
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 3: Will Smith went yard.

Speaker 7: four hundred and fourteen feet to ted center field.

84
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:33,680

97

98
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:14,479
Speaker 3: first pitch coming up at seven to ten, and with

99
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 3: more we head out to the Gallpin Motors Broadcast booth

100
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 3: as we welcome in Charlie Steiner and Rick Monday.

101
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 8: Guys, all right, tim second series of the season. Dodgers,

102
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 8: of course, off to the perfect start, three comeback wins,

103
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 8: the raising of the championship banner on Thursday, the ring

104
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 8: ceremony on Friday, Will Smith's game winning home run on

105
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:38,920
Speaker 8: his bobblehead night no Less, by the way, other Bobblehead Night,

106
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:42,720
Speaker 8: home run hitters for the Dodgers Manny Ramirez, hanglo Vermires,

107
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:47,599
Speaker 8: Juan Yuribay, Yasiel Puig, Cody Bellinger twice, and Mookie Betts.

108
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,279
Speaker 8: But all in all, most it could not have been

109
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 8: a more perfect opening series for the Dodgers. By the way,

110
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 8: they're three and zero. The rest of the National League

111
00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 8: is won and eleven.

112
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 9: Yeah, and it's severey good star, no question about it.

113
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 9: Remember last year Dodgors went eight and oh before they

114
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 9: dropped their first decision. It's a nice way to go

115
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:10,160
Speaker 9: because the magnifying glass is there. Are they looked at

116
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:12,840
Speaker 9: as the villain? Quote unquote, who cares?

117
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:13,840
Speaker 10: I thought?

118
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 9: Mookie Bets put it nicely. So the games, the ending

119
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:19,600
Speaker 9: of the games will dictate who the good guys are

120
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 9: and the bad guys are. The Dodgors have a very

121
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 9: good team, and we can underline that. Now they have

122
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 9: to play consistently good baseball. And they're off to that

123
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 9: very good start. You know what gets lost a little

124
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 9: bit in the transition, which, by the way, they need

125
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 9: to have a lot more of the bobbleheads in particular,

126
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 9: maybe even multi bobblehead nights. Here's the thing, that maybe

127
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,839
Speaker 9: gets unnoticed for those on the radio. Here's how many

128
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,839
Speaker 9: runs the bullpen has given up in case you cannot

129
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 9: see my fingers, it's for good reason. Zero is the

130
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 9: number to this point.

131
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 8: Eleven and two thirds shutout and nine strikeouts, two walks.

132
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 6: And if there was a ify part of their season

133
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 6: last year was the bullpen.

134
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 8: And now certainly three games in there's a strength and

135
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 8: they've got a legitimate closer in da and Charlie.

136
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 9: I think, especially too in the beginning of a season,

137
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:08,039
Speaker 9: because the starters are still.

138
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 10: Not stretched out that far.

139
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 9: We'll find out how far rookie Susaki is going to

140
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 9: go into night's bowl game and trying to turn things around.

141
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 9: Kind of a disappointing spring, no question about that end

142
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 9: of it, so they'll be looking at it. But the

143
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 9: bullpen to me seems rather solidified in their roles, and

144
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 9: sometimes there are some years with some bullpens it takes

145
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 9: them a month or two to understand the roles they're

146
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 9: going to be called upon.

147
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 8: Well, we've got Diaz and the trumpet in coming out

148
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 8: of the bullpen is a spectacular show. And oh, by

149
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 8: the way he gets on the mountains.

150
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 6: Spectacular.

151
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, they when he gets on the mound for hitters,

152
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 9: it may seem like at home plate they're turning off

153
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 9: the lights of the stadium.

154
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 10: When the pitch is on his way.

155
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 9: There's a lot of hoopla, There's no question about it.

156
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 9: But these guys are up to the challenge because I

157
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 9: think they understand full well they can do something that

158
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 9: has never been done in the National League. Win three

159
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 9: consecutive World championships.

160
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 8: And we welcome Tatiana Tait and her trumpet. It is

161
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 8: such an exciting moment for Daz to come out of

162
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 8: the bullpen. The lights are flashing and there goes the trumpet.

163
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 9: And you know, it's really nice about it. It even

164
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 9: surprised him because he did not know ahead of time

165
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 9: that there was going to be a live trumpet player,

166
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 9: uh bugling, if you will.

167

206
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:16,080
Speaker 3: Guardians in town playoff team a year ago, and well,

207
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:19,680
Speaker 3: Roki Sasaki makes his twenty twenty six debut.

208
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:21,960
Speaker 11: Yeah, and you know what, there's kind of there's gonna

209
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 11: be a lot of eyes on Rokie tonight because he's

210
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 11: unfortunately coming into a situation where he did have a

211
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:29,080
Speaker 11: tougher spring. The results weren't necessarily there. He had a

212
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 11: lot of walks, and so you know, Dave Robertson the

213
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:35,080
Speaker 11: organization have been very clear that they believe and what

214
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 11: Rokie has been able to do, maybe outside of those

215
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 11: results and the signs he's been showing. We saw what

216
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 11: he did in the postseason last year after battling shoulder

217
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 11: injury and then really showing up for his team, So

218
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 11: they're hoping he can lock back into that tonight. Dave

219
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:51,560
Speaker 11: Roberts did's share that he had a bullpen just earlier

220
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 11: this week in which the stuff looked better as more

221
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 11: consistent with his throw in the strike zone. So they're

222
00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:00,440
Speaker 11: really hoping that he can just carry that over into tonight.

223
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 11: It is about compete mode. They want to see him

224
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 11: go out there and attack the Guardian's hitters, and he's

225
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:07,679
Speaker 11: saying that, you know, he did work there a few

226
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:10,840
Speaker 11: small mechanical changes, just small things here and there, and

227
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 11: that they do believe is going to put him in

228
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 11: a better position. So he does have the support of

229
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:17,959
Speaker 11: the bullpen. The bullpen has been excellent as of late,

230
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 11: but in specific justin Robleski. He of course broke camp,

231
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 11: but the team had a really strong spring training and

232
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 11: the question was could he potentially be that sixth starter

233
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:30,200
Speaker 11: or could this be a piggyback situation, And they have decided,

234
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 11: just considering what they've seen with Rokie and some of

235
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:36,319
Speaker 11: those results, to protect him. They have Justin Robleski as

236
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:39,320
Speaker 11: a piggyback option for him if need be.

237
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:40,079
Speaker 4: Behind the play tonight.

238
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 3: Will Smith not in the lineup after his heroics on

239
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 3: Saturday night on his bobblehead night and his birthday, but

240
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 3: dal Russian behind the plane.

241
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 11: Yeah, well, first I should say, you know, for Will

242
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 11: Smith in that final game of the Diamondback series, he

243
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:55,840
Speaker 11: actually was supposed to be off that day, but definitely

244
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:57,960
Speaker 11: was like, it's my bubblehead night. I want to be

245
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:00,720
Speaker 11: out there. And honestly, we go back last year he

246
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:02,719
Speaker 11: wasn't playing with babb blah head night and even Dave

247
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:05,440
Speaker 11: Roberts was teasing that. His wife Trisha was like, the

248
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:07,560
Speaker 11: guys need to be out there on their babblehead night.

249
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 1: You know, that's when the big moments happened.

250
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 11: And of course we saw the big moment on Saturday.

251
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 11: So that was great for him, But that does mean

252
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:15,560
Speaker 11: they wanted to give him a day.

253
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:16,559
Speaker 1: Off in this series.

254
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:19,199
Speaker 11: So he's down today as you mentioned, so Dalton Rushing

255
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 11: is going to be behind the plate. Dalton obviously had

256
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 11: majority of the work this spring just because Will was

257
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:26,839
Speaker 11: away from the team at the World Baseball Classic with

258
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,719
Speaker 11: Team USA. So Dalton's in a really good spot, made

259
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:32,320
Speaker 11: a few mechanical changes to his swing, is really seeing

260
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 11: the results, and also is just feeling more confident in

261
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 11: who he is at the big league level. Obviously, he

262
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 11: saw him make his debut last year, so he comes

263
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 11: in this year just with a complete different kind of

264
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 11: mindset and framework. So he's feeling really good, So expect

265
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:47,080
Speaker 11: to see, you know, some good stuff with him behind

266
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 11: the plate, and also just working closely with Rokey and

267
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:51,199
Speaker 11: helping him navigate through this out.

268
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 3: Hopefully rookie Sasaki gets on track tonight. Hasn't been there

269
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 3: during the spring, but hey, regular seasons here and we'll

270
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,319

Speaker 3: and get the pregame. Thought to the Dodgers skipper, any.

300
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 10: Questions for Dave Dave? Can you just describe Dave? Can

301
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 10: you talk about the pressure in.

302
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 12: The dugouts with Dave Roberts, I feel, you know, he

303
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 12: had a good pen the other day. I think he's

304
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 12: in a good headspace, so you know, hopefully we can

305
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 12: just kind of he can just get past, you know,

306
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 12: all the spring and kind of the inconsistencies of the

307
00:14:55,760 --> 00:15:00,120
Speaker 12: spring and and get to pitching. One games matter. So

308
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 12: I think for me it's you know, go out there

309
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 12: and I mean we've got to attack. We have to

310
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 12: attack and uses mix and try to be as efficient

311
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 12: as possible and get some length out of him as

312
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 12: a starter.

313
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 6: And just let it out and listen out.

314
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 12: It was more the consistency of the throw, the execution,

315
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 12: and you know, just talking to the pitching guys, they

316
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 12: were all pretty encouraged and even Roki was had a

317
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 12: little smile when I asked him how it was. So

318
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 12: that was a good sign.

319
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 10: Brandon was sort of saying, they even put the blows

320
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 10: down last year.

321
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:42,360
Speaker 6: Who's able to obvious keeps games?

322
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 10: Wasn't you have stressed with this click that.

323
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 13: Experience last year, using that maybe building block into what

324
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 13: this can be going forward.

325
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 12: You know, I think that in different ways. I think

326
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 12: that you know, pitchers have have the confidence that they

327
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 12: feel that they expect a lot of them of themselves.

328
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 12: So I think for me, it's just framing it that

329
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 12: we need length, We need you to to because we can't.

330
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 12: You know, we got to get some innings out of

331
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 12: our starters, you know, to knock tax the pen and

332
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 12: with our offense, you know, just keep us in games.

333
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 12: But I think that you know, he's expecting to go

334
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 12: out there and pitch really well, and that kind of

335
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 12: mindset is a good thing. But I think, yeah, so

336
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 12: I think the way to kind of you know, cut

337
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 12: both sides of it is just saying, you know, give

338
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 12: us some length out of your start and we'll go

339
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 12: from there.

340
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, there's manager Dave Roberts. Yeah, he's absolutely right.

341
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 3: A fifteen e r and four starts. A couple of

342
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 3: times he was taken out of an inning and then

343
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 3: brought back to reset in spring training. You can do that,

344
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 3: you can't do it during the regular season, so the

345
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 3: Dodgers need a different Rookie Sasaki dials in here in

346
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 3: his first start. Well we continue here. I'm Wrongo Casino

Speaker 5: I accept everybody for who they are.

365
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:54,359
Speaker 1: This is Dodger insider David Base all right, DV.

366
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 3: We talked during the Freeway Series rookie Sasaki against the

367
00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:00,679
Speaker 3: Angels in his last start before the regular season. He

368
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 3: needed to turn the page, get right, do something different

369
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 3: than what he was doing during spring training, and he

370
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:07,159
Speaker 3: went out and had the same result. What does he

371
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:09,159
Speaker 3: got to do tonight to get back on track.

372
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:13,359
Speaker 5: It's easy throw strikes and that's something that he's had

373
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 5: trouble with. You know, we talked about when spring training began,

374
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:20,120
Speaker 5: going back to Dodger Fest, when Roki told us that

375
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:22,720
Speaker 5: he was trying to develop a third pitch. It just

376
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:26,119
Speaker 5: seems like he's thinking way too much on the mound.

377
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:29,200
Speaker 5: And that's not for me. That's from Dave Roberts and

378
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:32,679
Speaker 5: the Japanese media. Tim As you know, they do not

379
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:37,400
Speaker 5: keep a comfortable distance from the Japanese pitchers and players

380
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 5: that they cover. They really get close up, especially in

381
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:44,640
Speaker 5: bullpen sessions, and a few of the Japanese media members

382
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:48,959
Speaker 5: told me that in Sasaki's last bullpen session, he was

383
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:51,679
Speaker 5: all over the place. He was just as erratic in

384
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:54,760
Speaker 5: his bullpen session as he has been in games.

385
00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 6: So fast forward to tonight. There's no secrets.

386
00:18:58,760 --> 00:18:58,960
Speaker 1: Justin.

387
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:02,480
Speaker 5: Robleski is on high alert to come into this game

388
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:06,159
Speaker 5: whenever needed. Dave Roberts and the Dodgers are hoping they

389
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 5: won't need him until maybe the fifth inning, but he

390
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 5: is ready, and you know at some point the Dodgers

391
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:15,919
Speaker 5: are going to go to Robleski. You just hope that

392
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:19,960
Speaker 5: it's later rather than sooner. In this game, David is

393
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 5: brought to by Ford. It's Ford Truck Month. Now is

394
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 5: the best time to get a Ford truck. Hurry though,

395
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:26,199
Speaker 5: because Ford Truck Month only happens once a year. Go

396
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 5: to your Southern California Ford dealers today. Blake Snell starts

397
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:33,719
Speaker 5: the year on the injured list. David, what's the latest. Well,

398
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:36,960
Speaker 5: he told me earlier today that he is biting and

399
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:41,479
Speaker 5: wanting to come back sooner rather than later, but the

400
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 5: Dodgers are not letting him skip any steps. He still

401
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:48,199
Speaker 5: hasn't thrown to hitters. He threw another bullpen session today.

402
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 5: Snell told me that he will not throw to hitters

403
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 5: until after the Dodgers return from this upcoming road trip,

404
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 5: So he's gonna stay back, but he's expected to throw

405
00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:02,960
Speaker 5: the hitters. When the Dodgers returned from their first road

406
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 5: trip of the season, and Dave Roberts made it very

407
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 5: clear that they're not expecting Snail to come back until

408
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:13,159
Speaker 5: the middle or end of May, and look, that's just

409
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 5: the reality of it. He may not like it, but

410
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:18,560
Speaker 5: you can't skip steps. The Dodgers want him to come

411
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 5: back and never look back.

412
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:23,199
Speaker 3: David, I saw you on social media standing next to

413
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 3: a guy on the field.

414
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:25,720
Speaker 4: You're taller than this guy.

415
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:26,400
Speaker 1: Who is it.

416
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:32,639
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson, who is eligible for

417
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:36,840
Speaker 5: the NFL Draft. He's in town and Dave Roberts has

418
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:41,639
Speaker 5: become very friendly with the Alabama football coach, so he

419
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 5: found out that Ty Simpson was in town and wanted

420
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 5: to invite him to his very first Dodger game. Simpson

421
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:50,760
Speaker 5: actually told me Tim I had a chance to visit

422
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 5: with him. He told me he's a huge baseball fan.

423
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 5: He grew up in the Nashville area and actually played

424
00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 5: on the same travel ball team that Mookie Betts played on.

425
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:05,239
Speaker 5: Obviously there's an age difference, but that travel team and

426
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 5: the coach was the same as when Mookie Betts played

427
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 5: on it, and he also told me he wanted to

428
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:15,760
Speaker 5: continue the baseball dream at Alabama, but Nick Saban told him,

429
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:19,880
Speaker 5: no chance. You are the quarterback for Bama. You are

430
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:23,000
Speaker 5: not pursuing your baseball dreams. He told me he was

431
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 5: a shortstop and outfielder and was a big enough fan

432
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:31,480
Speaker 5: growing up out there in Nashville. He followed LSU and

433
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 5: Vanderbilt College baseball. He actually went to the Dansby Swanson

434
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:39,600
Speaker 5: baseball clinic when he was a young kid. So Ty

435
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:42,919
Speaker 5: Simpson a big baseball fan and a special guest of

436
00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:43,760
Speaker 5: Dave Roberts.

437
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:44,119
Speaker 6: Tonight.

438
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:46,920

439
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 3: we'll find out.

440
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:49,880

486
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 1: and World Series champion Dodger Rick Monday.

487
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:16,760
Speaker 6: A rare Sunday day off.

488
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:20,000
Speaker 5: I think Rick Monday had some bass say with drawls yesterday.

489
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:22,160
Speaker 9: No, take a couple of days off. We'll get back

490
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:22,399
Speaker 9: to you.

491
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:23,680
Speaker 6: So you know what is nice?

492
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:27,640
Speaker 9: You know the players received their rings. All of the

493
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:31,200
Speaker 9: front office and the coaching staff and the training staff

494
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:34,200
Speaker 9: clubhouse they got their rings yesterday and then the rest

495
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:38,920
Speaker 9: of us Gunnar's today, and it's a big, big deal.

496
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:42,920
Speaker 9: From an organizational standpoint, yes, it's a lot of blame,

497
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:45,119
Speaker 9: but I think more than that, it really shows the

498
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:47,439
Speaker 9: commitment to this organization has had over the years, the

499
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:49,679
Speaker 9: investment that they've had on top of it, and the

500
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:53,440
Speaker 9: expectations that they had, not just within the community expectations,

501
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:58,119
Speaker 9: but the organization as well. And it's over and above

502
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:01,360
Speaker 9: what you see. You know, every night we come into

503
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 9: the ballpark and we leave reality at the gate. I

504
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:06,400
Speaker 9: was just telling a group down the right field line

505
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:09,280
Speaker 9: about twenty minutes ago. I said, that's the good news.

506
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 9: So you leave reality to the gate. Unfortunate, We're going

507
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:12,680
Speaker 9: to give it back to you when you leave the ballpark.

508
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:16,000
Speaker 9: But during that time, it's kind of a kind of

509
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:17,680
Speaker 9: a respite from reality.

510
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:18,320
Speaker 10: When we're here at the ballpark.

511
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:22,080
Speaker 5: Well, tonight, the Dodgers are coming off a sweep of

512
00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 5: the Diamondbacks and they did it from come from behind

513
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:26,960
Speaker 5: fashion in all three games, all.

514
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:27,520
Speaker 10: Three of them.

515
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 9: And if we start to look at different things too,

516
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:33,119
Speaker 9: how about the bullpen. I mean the bullpen. You know,

517
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:37,199
Speaker 9: I can't say it's unheralded, but if you look at

518
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:40,119
Speaker 9: the fact that the bullpen itself has not given up

519
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:42,920
Speaker 9: a run to this particular point. Now, that's not going

520
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:47,480
Speaker 9: to continue on obviously, but I think it shows that,

521
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:50,280
Speaker 9: you know, sometimes it takes a bit of time for

522
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 9: everybody to understand their roles in the bullpen. This is

523
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:55,400
Speaker 9: a group to kind of feed off one another to.

524
00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:56,280
Speaker 10: This particular point.

525
00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:59,480
Speaker 9: Yes, the success of the past helps they understand one

526
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:00,440
Speaker 9: another exceptionally.

527
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:01,680
Speaker 10: Well, there's not too many.

528
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:05,120
Speaker 9: New faces down there except for Diaz really, and you know,

529
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:08,880
Speaker 9: he's been trumpeting all the way into the stadium and

530
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 9: that's kind of a kind of a neat situation when

531
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:17,360
Speaker 9: he comes in now because it catches everybody by surprise,

532
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:20,639
Speaker 9: including Edwin Diaz. He did not realize that the Dodgers

533
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 9: are going to have a live trumpet player play his

534
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:25,880
Speaker 9: interest music when he came out of the bullpen.

535
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 5: Yes, a young Tatiana Tate from Long Beach has been

536
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 5: brought into a company Edwin Diaz's entrance. But Rick, when

537
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 5: you talk about Edwin Diaz, to me, there's that feel

538
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:41,600
Speaker 5: again that the Dodgers haven't had since Kenley Jansen was here,

539
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 5: that the ninth inning is very secure.

540
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:45,600
Speaker 9: The other part, too, is that Charlie Stein and I

541
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:48,040
Speaker 9: were talking about this earlier today. Is that everything that

542
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:53,040
Speaker 9: he throws seem to have movement. I would assume that

543
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:56,400
Speaker 9: the movement is something that he designs himself and knows

544
00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:59,040
Speaker 9: ahead of time. Is a different pressure points that he

545
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:02,080
Speaker 9: makes on the baseball itself. By that, maybe one pitch

546
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:04,720
Speaker 9: a little bit more pressure with the index finger, next pitch,

547
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:08,439
Speaker 9: maybe a little bit more the pressure with the middle finger.

548
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 9: But everything that he throws seem to have great deal

549
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:15,199
Speaker 9: of movement. And by the way, he also has a

550
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:17,240
Speaker 9: pretty good idea of what he's doing before he releases

551
00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 9: the baseball.

552
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:20,520
Speaker 5: And the ninth inning isn't made for everybody, reck I'm

553
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:21,960
Speaker 5: sure you've seen that over the years.

554
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:27,440
Speaker 9: Yeah, and there's some guys that don't. He has expectations too,

555
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:30,480
Speaker 9: I mean, he wants to be able to have the

556
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:33,080
Speaker 9: baseball when the game's on the line. By the way,

557
00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:35,719
Speaker 9: the ABS system, if we look at the opening series

558
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:40,159
Speaker 9: around Major League Baseball, one hundred and seventy five challenges,

559
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:45,639
Speaker 9: fifty three point seven percent success rate in those challenges,

560
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:48,480
Speaker 9: and here's the breakdown. How many teams that we heard

561
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:50,320
Speaker 9: in spring training, well, we're not going to have the

562
00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 9: pitcher be able to challenge. We don't want the pitcher

563
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:56,640
Speaker 9: to challenge on a call that they think is a strike. Well,

564
00:27:56,680 --> 00:28:00,240
Speaker 9: pitchers have only challenged five they've been successful in just

565
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 9: two of those five hitters. They're at forty three plus percent.

566
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:09,040
Speaker 9: And the catchers, by and large, this is not a surprise.

567
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:11,480
Speaker 9: We figured their number would be higher. Sixty four percent

568
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:15,640
Speaker 9: of the challenges by catchers they had been reversed. And

569
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:18,760
Speaker 9: we've seen some umpires they've had some difficulty. I'm not

570
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:21,240
Speaker 9: going to mention the umpire's name, but one was challenged,

571
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:25,240
Speaker 9: was it yesterday? Lost six out of eight challenges, and

572
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:28,760
Speaker 9: that's something you know, that's for the umpires to worry about.

573
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:32,160
Speaker 9: It from a hitter, pitcher and catcher just worry about

574
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:34,520
Speaker 9: what affects you at that particular moment.

575
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:37,080
Speaker 5: Well, Will Smith has the night off tonight, but we're

576
00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:39,280
Speaker 5: going to talk to him about the abs and his

577
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:41,960
Speaker 5: experience the first series of the season so when it

578
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:45,240
Speaker 5: is to be bought on. Yeah, yeah, he's been good.

579
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 5: He told me in spring. The pitchers have enough to

580
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 5: worry about all handle the challenges well.

581
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:52,440
Speaker 9: Especially too, because pictures are still off palaced. I mean,

582
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:54,800
Speaker 9: they're just throwing a pitch, they go into the defensive

583
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:57,600
Speaker 9: mode as soon as they release the ball, and many

584
00:28:57,640 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 9: of them falling off to one side.

585
00:28:59,200 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 10: Or the other.

586
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 9: They don't really get a clear shot of what's happening.

587
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:05,280
Speaker 9: I've said this before interview. It pitches lead. The strike

588
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:07,640
Speaker 9: zone is from here to the to the curvature of

589
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:08,000
Speaker 9: the earth.

590
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:10,080
Speaker 6: Well, you got one hundred percent right on this.

591
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:12,800
Speaker 9: Teste, just like you walking into the boot table.

592
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 6: Thanks a lot. We'll send it back in the studio, Tim, all.

627
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:51,760
Speaker 5: through some some things for tonight's game.

628
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:55,840
Speaker 10: I guess, yeah, what do you what do you mean

629
00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 10: what I have to walk them through?

630
00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:58,880
Speaker 5: Well, don't you help him with the game planning first

631
00:30:59,000 --> 00:30:59,880

Speaker 13: get rookie up to go start tonight.

636
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:12,720
Speaker 5: After another clutch home run the other day, I started

637
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:14,760
Speaker 5: to look back at some of the moments you had

638
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:18,000
Speaker 5: in your career. Is it hard to believe now you've

639
00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:20,400
Speaker 5: been in the league since twenty nineteen, it feels like

640
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:24,440
Speaker 5: yesterday you were here following the team around in twenty eighteen.

641
00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:28,200
Speaker 13: Yeah, No, it's it's yeah, it's been it's felt like

642
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:30,800
Speaker 13: a long you know, seven years now, I guess.

643
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:32,560
Speaker 10: But also it's kind of flies.

644
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:32,640
Speaker 6: By to.

645
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:37,080
Speaker 10: Yeah, just just grateful to be with the Dodgers.

646
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:39,400
Speaker 13: You know, we've been competitor every year, making the postseason

647
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:41,600
Speaker 13: every year, one a few World Series.

648
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 10: Yeah, it's gone.

649
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:45,480
Speaker 13: It's gone really well, and you know, just couldn't be

650
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:48,120
Speaker 13: We're happy and you know, grateful to be here.

651
00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 5: Was that thirty first birthday maybe the most memorable birthday

652
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:52,640
Speaker 5: you've ever had.

653
00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:57,240
Speaker 13: Yeah, probably it's most recent, so it's definitely the most

654
00:31:57,240 --> 00:31:57,920
Speaker 13: memorial at this point.

655
00:31:58,000 --> 00:31:58,480
Speaker 10: Yeah.

656
00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:01,080
Speaker 5: I can't think of another birthday where you had your

657
00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 5: Bobblehead night and you're able to do what you've done

658
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:06,720
Speaker 5: so many times and help the Dodgers win a game.

659
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:08,400
Speaker 10: Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

660
00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:11,640
Speaker 13: Usually, you know, sometimes the season hasn't even started yet,

661
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:13,960
Speaker 13: so uh yeah, that was That was a fun one.

662
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:14,480
Speaker 10: The other day.

663
00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:17,520
Speaker 5: What was this story that Dave Roberts was talking about

664
00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:20,960
Speaker 5: how he wanted to give you Sunday off, but you

665
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 5: convinced him to play you. Is that accurate assessment of

666
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:25,920
Speaker 5: the way it went down?

667
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:26,840
Speaker 1: Uh?

668
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:29,959
Speaker 13: Yeah, yeah, I think, you know, it's still early the year.

669
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:33,680
Speaker 13: I feel feel good, you know, I think, you know,

670
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:36,360
Speaker 13: his mindset, front office mindset or whatever is always kind

671
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:39,200
Speaker 13: of like just slow play it, you know, build back up.

672
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:41,360
Speaker 13: But uh yeah, I felt good. Just felt like I

673
00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:44,400
Speaker 13: needed to let him know that, you know, I was

674
00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:46,880
Speaker 13: kind of just joking around. I wasn't really like totally

675
00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 13: like fighting, like I need to be in there, but

676
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:50,320
Speaker 13: I kind of like, you know, always I wanted.

677
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:50,880
Speaker 10: To be in there every game.

678
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:53,920
Speaker 13: Uh And I remember last year I didn't play my bibblehead,

679
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:56,680
Speaker 13: and I remember giving him some grief about that and stuff,

680
00:32:56,880 --> 00:32:59,240
Speaker 13: but uh yeah, pulled that card. He let me in there,

681
00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 13: and uh turned out all right.

682
00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:04,080
Speaker 5: I guess when his starting catcher is invited to go

683
00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:07,040
Speaker 5: to Augusta with him, you got some pool with the manager.

684
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:08,720
Speaker 10: Right, yep, that'll help for sure.

685
00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:12,840
Speaker 5: So your golf game is almost as legendary as your

686
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:16,240
Speaker 5: dramatic home runs late in games. What what was that

687
00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:18,320
Speaker 5: like going to Augusta with Dave Roberts.

688
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:21,240
Speaker 13: It was that was an amazing three days. You know,

689
00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:25,800
Speaker 13: Mookie came with us. You know, Uh, our host was incredible,

690
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:27,480
Speaker 13: it was.

691
00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:28,280
Speaker 10: It was awesome.

692
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:30,600
Speaker 13: You know, the courses in such good shape. It was

693
00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:32,640
Speaker 13: so much fun to you know, play it. You know,

694
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:34,800
Speaker 13: I've seen the tournament so many times and different holes

695
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:35,880
Speaker 13: and different shots and like.

696
00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:37,560
Speaker 10: Oh that's where that was, That's where that was.

697
00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:41,120
Speaker 13: You know, we looked out with the weather, got to

698
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:44,080
Speaker 13: see kind of the whole every facility in the grounds

699
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:46,160
Speaker 13: and all that and kind of everything that goes on there.

700
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:48,640
Speaker 13: It was, you know, it's just a special place and uh,

701
00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:51,040
Speaker 13: you know, just just Cloud was able to go at

702
00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:53,000
Speaker 13: least once and hopefully, you know, some point in the future,

703
00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:53,600
Speaker 13: could go again.

704
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:55,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, that place is tough to even cover as a

705
00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:58,680
Speaker 5: media member. There's a lottery to be drawn. Could you

706
00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:02,200
Speaker 5: ever imagine that you'd be playing golf where Tiger Woods

707
00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:03,120
Speaker 5: is one of the Masters.

708
00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:06,479
Speaker 13: Yeah, that's you know, that's one of those dream courses,

709
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:08,360
Speaker 13: you know, the bucket list course. You want to play,

710
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:10,440
Speaker 13: You want to you want to see what it's all about.

711
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:12,160
Speaker 13: You want to, you know, at least just go to

712
00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:14,560
Speaker 13: the Masters and watch the tournament even and I know

713
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:16,320
Speaker 13: I'll do that at some point, you know, after baseball

714
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:17,120
Speaker 13: because that's in April.

715
00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:19,719
Speaker 10: But yeah, it was. It was just really cool. It's

716
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:23,799
Speaker 10: kind of surreal, you know, it's incredible, you.

717
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:27,080
Speaker 13: Know, the level of like, uh, you know, care they

718
00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:29,720
Speaker 13: put into every single thing, every single little detail is

719
00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:31,799
Speaker 13: is the best of the best, you know, from from

720
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:36,279
Speaker 13: their bushes and stuff to their landscaping to the buildings

721
00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:40,040
Speaker 13: to just the service. The people are so nice there

722
00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:42,560
Speaker 13: and so like, uh just welcoming and everything.

723
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:43,560
Speaker 10: It was. It was really cool.

724
00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:45,919
Speaker 5: So can you share with all the golfers out there?

725
00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:47,960
Speaker 5: How Will Smith shot at Augusta.

726
00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:50,759
Speaker 10: The first day was bad. I don't know what I

727
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:51,200
Speaker 10: was doing.

728
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:54,880
Speaker 13: The second day was better, but moo and MOOKI and

729
00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:56,760
Speaker 13: I'd beat up on docks, so that's all that mattered.

730
00:34:56,880 --> 00:34:58,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, not surprising.

731
00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:01,680
Speaker 5: Will Smith is our guest three time World Series champion.

732
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:03,920
Speaker 5: There's been a lot of talk now after the first

733
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:07,319
Speaker 5: week of the season about the ABS and how it's

734
00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:11,239
Speaker 5: gone so far, and now we're seeing percentages. From your standpoint,

735
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:14,160
Speaker 5: both as a hitter and a catcher, how has it

736
00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:17,560
Speaker 5: gone in for the first time experiencing it in games

737
00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:18,080
Speaker 5: that matter.

738
00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:23,160
Speaker 13: Yeah, it's it's it's gone well, you know, I don't

739
00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:25,120
Speaker 13: I don't know. I think it's good for the game,

740
00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:28,719
Speaker 13: you know. I think, honestly, the best part about it

741
00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:30,440
Speaker 13: is I think the umpires are more locked in.

742
00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:34,879
Speaker 10: Just from the get go, you know, just.

743
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:38,080
Speaker 13: To spring training. I think, you know, there were a

744
00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:41,080
Speaker 13: lot less overturned calls because they were they were locked in.

745
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:43,560
Speaker 13: That's that's the most important thing, is, you know, just

746
00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:46,200
Speaker 13: getting the call right and you know they're they're trying

747
00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:48,280
Speaker 13: to do their best too. They get that instant feedback,

748
00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:50,680
Speaker 13: which is great, you know, for the rest of the game.

749
00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:54,560
Speaker 13: So I think it's I think it's a good thing.

750
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:56,680
Speaker 13: I think we've handled it pretty well. You got a

751
00:35:56,719 --> 00:36:00,520
Speaker 13: couple of calls go our way using the right situations.

752
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:02,919
Speaker 13: So it's just been good. It's still kind of learning

753
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:07,120
Speaker 13: process and learning different situations and all that stuff, But

754
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:08,640
Speaker 13: overall you've been pretty good as so far.

755
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:10,200
Speaker 6: I know you're always in the moment.

756
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:13,759
Speaker 5: You got the Guardians starting tonight, but ever since the

757
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:16,480
Speaker 5: schedule came out, it's hard to ignore that your first

758
00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:20,000
Speaker 5: road trip is taking you to Toronto, the scene of

759
00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:23,719
Speaker 5: where you guys dramatically came back to win the World Series.

760
00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:27,439
Speaker 5: Any concern over customs the Mounties when you go back

761
00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:28,879
Speaker 5: across the border.

762
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:30,800
Speaker 10: No, no, I'm not concerned.

763
00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:33,520
Speaker 13: I was asked the other day if I was actually banned.

764
00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:35,640
Speaker 13: That was that one kind of threw me for a

765
00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:36,640
Speaker 13: loop thinking it was real.

766
00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:39,920
Speaker 5: But you did a whole commercial promoting your babblehead going

767
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:41,200
Speaker 5: through the security line.

768
00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:42,960
Speaker 13: I know that was that was that turned out better

769
00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:44,520
Speaker 13: than I thought. That was pretty good. That was a

770
00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:46,600
Speaker 13: good a good script. I didn't I didn't have any

771
00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:48,600
Speaker 13: part of that other than just kind of reading the lines.

772
00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:51,279
Speaker 10: But that was good. But no, it'd be fun.

773
00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:54,160
Speaker 13: I know they're gonna want a little payback on us,

774
00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:55,880
Speaker 13: so it should be. It should be a good series.

775
00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:57,879
Speaker 13: You know they're they're a really good team again this year,

776
00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:00,560
Speaker 13: so it should be you know, fun fun were there.

777
00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:03,920
Speaker 5: All right, So no concerns over Canadian TSA stopping you

778
00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:06,719
Speaker 5: a little longer. You and Rojas, you guys have some

779
00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:08,920
Speaker 5: targets on your back when you go through TSA.

780

Speaker 3: Pitch last October. He was huge for the Dodgers coming

821
00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:02,960
Speaker 3: out of the bullpen. It's been a rough spring though

822
00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:06,160
Speaker 3: for Rookie Sasaki, multiple times pulled and brought back in

823
00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:08,879

Speaker 3: head back out to the booth, Charlie rid guys.

840
00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:05,240
Speaker 8: All right, moth of the Dodgers, looking for their fourth

841
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:06,719
Speaker 8: consecutive went out of the gate.

842
00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:09,040
Speaker 6: Of course, they won their first eight.

843
00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:11,759
Speaker 8: Last year on their way to the World Series Championship.

844
00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:15,680
Speaker 8: So tonight Roki Sasaki somewhat of a question because of

845
00:40:15,719 --> 00:40:18,840
Speaker 8: how he fared in spring against the left He solid

846
00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:19,880
Speaker 8: Parker Messik.

847
00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:21,920
Speaker 9: Yeah, I think the big story is going to be

848
00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:25,520
Speaker 9: with Sasaki because in the spring he just did not

849
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:28,200
Speaker 9: pinch very well at all. One thing that Dave Roberts

850
00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:31,800
Speaker 9: said earlier this afternoon, asked about Sasaki, he said, look,

851
00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:35,799
Speaker 9: we want him to attack the striketh zone, something he

852
00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:38,160
Speaker 9: did not do in spring training. You know, he had

853
00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:40,840
Speaker 9: that shoulder in pingement last year. After a few starts

854
00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:43,759
Speaker 9: he came back in his rehab in Triple A, he

855
00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:45,920
Speaker 9: wasn't finding the striketh zone and then finally said, look

856
00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:47,759
Speaker 9: how about the bullpen. Well, he volunteered to go to

857
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:50,799
Speaker 9: the bullpen and fared very well in postseason and nine

858
00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:54,560
Speaker 9: appearances in postseason play last year had three saves, two

859
00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:57,320
Speaker 9: holes and that was over ten and two thirds innings.

860
00:40:57,320 --> 00:40:59,360
Speaker 9: That we'll find out tonight how far he can stretch

861
00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:00,040
Speaker 9: things out.

862
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:03,520
Speaker 8: Parker Messik, a left hander, slow stuff by and large.

863
00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:05,000
Speaker 8: He was three and one last year.

864
00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:07,600
Speaker 9: Yeah, man, but he closed out very well last year

865
00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:10,799
Speaker 9: after getting the call up. In fact, so well his

866
00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:14,239
Speaker 9: era was about two and three quarters. That was over

867
00:41:14,360 --> 00:41:16,520
Speaker 9: seven stars. They got a very good look at him

868
00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:18,520
Speaker 9: and they like what they have seen thus far.

869
00:41:18,840 --> 00:41:21,480
Speaker 8: So it's the Dodgers looking to go four and oh

870
00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:24,120
Speaker 8: to begin the season. The Guardians the first of a

871
00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:27,000
Speaker 8: three game series. Lineups in first pitch.

872
00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:29,640
Speaker 3: Coming up all right, Dodgers three and zero to start

873
00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:32,799
Speaker 3: this season, and all three games against the Diamondbacks they

874
00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:35,720
Speaker 3: fell behind and had to come back and win the game.

875
00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:38,560
Speaker 3: How about getting off to a good start tonight? Give

876
00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:43,240
Speaker 3: Rokie Susaki some run support the Dodgers get their fourth

877
00:41:43,239 --> 00:41:46,919
Speaker 3: win to start this season. Getting you ready for first pitch,
