So Zuki a home run to left in 0:01:51.840 --> 0:01:53.600 the second. The Cubbies jumped out to a one to 0:01:53.680 --> 0:01:55.800 nothing lead. They made it two to nothing to the 0:01:55.840 --> 0:01:59.440 third on former Dodger Michael Bush's single to write. Chicago 0:01:59.560 --> 0:02:02.680 had a nothing lead and then finally the second time 0:02:02.720 --> 0:02:05.960 through the lineup, the Dodgers offense was able to get 0:02:06.240 --> 0:02:08.400 to Colin Ray at the Cub starter and it was 0:02:08.440 --> 0:02:10.040 all thanks to Maximuntsey. 0:02:10.600 --> 0:02:12.119 Time run at the plate went out in the third 0:02:12.120 --> 0:02:15.919 two nothing, Chicago to won one pitch and Monsey. 0:02:15.639 --> 0:02:17.240 Rips it to right.

Monsy says, hey, 0:02:37.639 --> 0:02:41.600 let's make it too. That looked like a launch out 0:02:41.600 --> 0:02:43.799 of Kate canaverl. 0:02:43.720 --> 0:02:46.880 Two run shot from Maximuntsey. The game was all tied 0:02:46.960 --> 0:02:49.720 up in two until it was and Moisey's and Balastro's 0:02:50.000 --> 0:02:52.400 the very next inning a home run to rights centator 0:02:52.400 --> 0:02:55.119 Field and the Cubs retook the lead three to two. 0:02:55.200 --> 0:02:58.400 With that lead for Chicago would not last long. Bottom 0:02:58.400 --> 0:03:00.960 of the fourth inning, Dodgers got some traffic on the 0:03:01.000 --> 0:03:04.600 basis Alex Freeland and RBI doubled the left almost hit 0:03:04.720 --> 0:03:05.200 it out. 0:03:05.040 --> 0:03:07.320 What off the wall the very top of the wall. 0:03:07.360 --> 0:03:10.160 The short wall in left field, it bounces back in Kim. 0:03:10.280 --> 0:03:13.840 Scores were tied at three. Then later in the fourth 0:03:13.880 --> 0:03:16.920 Dodgers with traffic still on the basis for Freddie Freeman 0:03:17.040 --> 0:03:20.320 who had a two out single, making it four to 0:03:20.360 --> 0:03:23.679 three Dodgers, and then ta Oscar Hernandez busting wide open. 0:03:24.000 --> 0:03:26.359 Dodgers looking for a big swing in a big spot, 0:03:26.480 --> 0:03:30.040 bases loaded, two outs, the old one from a side, tai. 0:03:29.919 --> 0:03:32.240 Oscar shoots one through the right side. 0:03:32.960 --> 0:03:33.960 Old Toddy is in. 0:03:34.360 --> 0:03:35.600 Here comes Freeman. 0:03:38.040 --> 0:03:40.600 Tioscar Hernandez comes through. 0:03:44.280 --> 0:03:48.040 That is such a great event. Not trying to pull 0:03:48.080 --> 0:03:50.400 the ball. You've got a guy that's struggling on the mound, 0:03:50.520 --> 0:03:53.960 coming in out of the bullpen and staying on top 0:03:54.000 --> 0:03:56.840 of the baseball and basically hitting it where it's pitched, 0:03:56.920 --> 0:03:57.680 not away from you. 0:03:58.040 --> 0:04:01.200 Great job by Oscar Hernandez going the right field with it, 0:04:01.280 --> 0:04:03.520 and it was scored too. Dodgers up six to three, 0:04:03.760 --> 0:04:06.480 and they weren't done. Dalton rushing a single to left 0:04:06.800 --> 0:04:09.600 game came run number seven and Andy Potts a single 0:04:09.680 --> 0:04:12.000 up the middle, scoring ta Oscar that made it an 0:04:12.040 --> 0:04:15.640 eight three Dodgers lead. After the Dodgers put up a 0:04:15.760 --> 0:04:18.479 sixth spot in the fourth inning, and that is the 0:04:18.480 --> 0:04:20.760 top tier play of the game, brought to by Arco Quality, 0:04:20.880 --> 0:04:23.960 top tier gas for less. Dodgers up eight to three 0:04:24.800 --> 0:04:26.680 before they were up eight to four in the fifth 0:04:26.680 --> 0:04:28.560 and then they just kept tacking on runs. In the 0:04:28.600 --> 0:04:31.360 sixth inning, Pot has a RBI double scored a pair 0:04:31.360 --> 0:04:34.640 of runs heisun Kim and RBI ground out. Andy Pote 0:04:34.640 --> 0:04:37.080 has scored on a wild pitch as the Dodgers went 0:04:37.120 --> 0:04:41.400 crazy yesterday, scoring twelve runs on fourteen hits. As the 0:04:41.440 --> 0:04:44.280 Dodgers go on and beat up on the Cubbies twelve 0:04:44.440 --> 0:04:48.560 to four. The final rookie Susaki finally picks up his 0:04:48.720 --> 0:04:53.080 first win of the season as he goes the five 0:04:53.160 --> 0:04:55.760 innings to get the win. Gave up four runs on 0:04:55.800 --> 0:04:58.560 seven hits, struck out five, but the Dodgers bullpen most 0:04:58.600 --> 0:05:01.120 employee the rest of the way put up zero's dryer 0:05:01.200 --> 0:05:04.600 kline heart eater all put up zeros as the Dodgers 0:05:04.640 --> 0:05:08.320 where they breakout performance yesterday, twelve runs, fourteen hits, six 0:05:08.440 --> 0:05:10.880 extra base hits a home run. They were seven for 0:05:11.160 --> 0:05:15.120 eighteen with runners in scoring position, to season high as 0:05:15.160 --> 0:05:17.360 they even up this best of three weekend set at 0:05:17.360 --> 0:05:19.400 a game of peace today the rubber game between the 0:05:19.440 --> 0:05:22.479 Dodgers and the Cubbies, as the Dodgers will send out 0:05:22.600 --> 0:05:24.440 Justin Robleski to the mound first pitch of one to 0:05:24.480 --> 0:05:26.279 ten and with more, let's head out to the galloping 0:05:26.360 --> 0:05:28.680 four broadcast booth as we say hello and good afternoon 0:05:28.800 --> 0:05:30.200 to Steven Nelson and Rick Monday. 0:05:30.240 --> 0:05:31.080 Guys. 0:05:31.320 --> 0:05:32.040 Thank you, Tim. 0:05:32.040 --> 0:05:35.040 You got kids and families strolling around the warning track 0:05:35.080 --> 0:05:38.440 here at Dodgers Stadium, as it's a Sunday Day game 0:05:38.480 --> 0:05:40.680 in the series finale for the Dodgers and the Cubs, 0:05:40.720 --> 0:05:43.559 and it's the rubber match of this three game series. 0:05:43.600 --> 0:05:47.800 The Dodgers punched back in Game number two, scoring ten 0:05:47.839 --> 0:05:51.560 plus runs for the fifth time this year in that 0:05:51.760 --> 0:05:54.880 twelve four victory, and Moe, you talked about it at 0:05:54.880 --> 0:05:58.479 the end of the game. It probably the final score 0:05:58.560 --> 0:06:02.040 does not indicate just how tight it was for a 0:06:02.080 --> 0:06:04.800 time and how tense it was at four a time 0:06:04.839 --> 0:06:07.279 for the Dodgers, but it was good to see them 0:06:07.360 --> 0:06:09.359 kind of find the fairway again, see the ball go 0:06:09.400 --> 0:06:12.120 in the hole, to use another golf metaphor, and have 0:06:12.240 --> 0:06:13.279 the bats break out the way. 0:06:13.320 --> 0:06:16.919 Yeah, and for rookie Sazaki. He went through that first 0:06:16.920 --> 0:06:19.960 inning with fine fashion and served up a double play 0:06:20.000 --> 0:06:21.640 on the ground ball as well. And then the solo 0:06:21.760 --> 0:06:24.720 home run by Kurt Suzuki in the second inning, and 0:06:25.520 --> 0:06:28.800 then the Cubs got another home run by Bostos that 0:06:28.839 --> 0:06:31.240 came in the fourth inning. So early the Dodgers were down. 0:06:31.600 --> 0:06:33.919 But for Max Munsey, who played the game started to 0:06:33.920 --> 0:06:35.640 begin with, he was under the weather, but he was 0:06:35.680 --> 0:06:37.120 trying to gut it out and not trying to be 0:06:37.120 --> 0:06:39.440 a play on words either. But the two run home 0:06:39.520 --> 0:06:41.200 run that he hit in the third ending at the 0:06:41.200 --> 0:06:45.279 time tied the ballgame and it looked like well maybe 0:06:45.320 --> 0:06:47.920 on easy Street. Well, Munsey eventually had to leave the game. 0:06:47.960 --> 0:06:50.159 He's not in the lineup today either, at least not 0:06:50.240 --> 0:06:53.120 in the starting lineup. But the bats came alive in 0:06:53.160 --> 0:06:56.040 that fourth inning, from top to bottom. We've been talking 0:06:56.080 --> 0:06:59.359 about the bottom part of the lineup being really constant, 0:06:59.400 --> 0:07:01.680 but last night it was the top of the or 0:07:01.800 --> 0:07:03.080 that did some damage as well. 0:07:03.440 --> 0:07:05.320 It was good to see them get involved, and obviously 0:07:05.320 --> 0:07:07.000 the lineup is going to look a little bit different 0:07:07.000 --> 0:07:09.800 today facing a left handed starter and a outstanding one, 0:07:09.800 --> 0:07:13.080 and showed at Yamanaga as Max Munsey is out of 0:07:13.120 --> 0:07:16.000 line up, Will Smith still not in the back, still 0:07:16.000 --> 0:07:18.360 not feeling well enough for him to go, Freeland is 0:07:18.400 --> 0:07:22.200 getting a breather, and Kyle Tucker has dropped one more 0:07:22.200 --> 0:07:25.000 spot in the order from fourth to fifth as they 0:07:25.000 --> 0:07:27.280 elevate ta Oscar Hernandez and Andy Pye is to the 0:07:27.320 --> 0:07:31.120 three and four hole. So Baseball aside, I do want 0:07:31.120 --> 0:07:33.760 to get your one final thought for you and from 0:07:33.840 --> 0:07:36.440 you and your family after yesterday and all the festivities 0:07:36.440 --> 0:07:38.800 and the pomp and circumstance, which I know you feel 0:07:38.880 --> 0:07:42.800 uneasy about generally speaking, but it was certainly a special 0:07:42.880 --> 0:07:45.760 day with the flag and you give it to Josh Wawitch, 0:07:45.920 --> 0:07:48.440 the president of National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum. 0:07:48.480 --> 0:07:51.440 And I'm just wondering when when you got home last 0:07:51.520 --> 0:07:53.240 night and you're sitting down on the couch of the 0:07:53.240 --> 0:07:54.920 family with the conversation. 0:07:55.120 --> 0:07:57.480 It was overwhelming, to be honest with it was a surprise. 0:07:57.880 --> 0:08:01.280 My wife was in on some of the ins and 0:08:01.320 --> 0:08:04.760 outs before I was. But you know, my thanks to 0:08:04.800 --> 0:08:07.280 the Dodgers, a great tailor who put together his staff 0:08:07.320 --> 0:08:11.160 also put together a video that was just off the charts, 0:08:11.320 --> 0:08:13.360 you know, when he come to Dodger Stadium, and this 0:08:13.480 --> 0:08:16.600 is not a plug. This is real. When you come here. 0:08:17.200 --> 0:08:20.560 These people and I'm talking about Dodger people that put 0:08:20.600 --> 0:08:24.200 on the pregames and everything else, the video boards, it 0:08:24.320 --> 0:08:28.280 looks easy because they are so good at what they do. 0:08:28.320 --> 0:08:30.480 And my thanks to them. My thanks also that the 0:08:30.880 --> 0:08:34.600 Marine Corps was here, that a surprise statue was given, 0:08:34.920 --> 0:08:37.240 which we may have on display here at the stadium 0:08:37.240 --> 0:08:38.760 for a while. We're still trying to do that. The 0:08:38.800 --> 0:08:40.880 flag is back in New York, thank goodness. That's going 0:08:40.920 --> 0:08:43.160 to be on display for a number of months safely. 0:08:43.240 --> 0:08:45.680 But it was just a wonderful evening and I thank 0:08:45.720 --> 0:08:49.439 you also for your hospitality and my family here was 0:08:50.240 --> 0:08:52.920 well taken care of a special moment. And I think 0:08:52.920 --> 0:08:54.760 the biggest thing is is that we moved the flag 0:08:54.800 --> 0:08:57.280 now to have some exposure for those that want to 0:08:57.280 --> 0:09:01.720 go to Baseball's Hall of Fame, because we have really 0:09:01.720 --> 0:09:04.480 great feelings about this country in what their flag represents. 0:09:04.559 --> 0:09:07.320 No, I think I speak for DV. Dween and the 0:09:07.360 --> 0:09:09.559 rest of the Dodger family here in the booth. It 0:09:09.640 --> 0:09:12.000 was really cool and special for us to share yesterday 0:09:12.000 --> 0:09:14.160 with you and your family. So he deserved everything. 0:09:14.200 --> 0:09:14.240 Mo. 0:09:14.480 --> 0:09:15.920 And now that's. 0:09:15.840 --> 0:09:16.160 Enough of that. 0:09:16.240 --> 0:09:18.040 Let's get back to the baseball game a little bit 0:09:18.160 --> 0:09:20.280 later today the series finale.

Thanks for being with us, Tim Keates is 0:10:00.440 --> 0:10:02.960 the back to back World Series champion Dodgers Audio Network. 0:10:05.880 --> 0:10:11.079 This is Morongo Casino Dodgers Hunters game on your home 0:10:11.120 --> 0:10:13.079 for La Dodgers Baseball. 0:10:13.920 --> 0:10:18.200 It's the Dodgers and the Cub's Justin Robleski showtay Minaga 0:10:18.320 --> 0:10:20.400 the pitching matchup on this Sunday afternoon. 0:10:20.480 --> 0:10:25.280 First pitch set for one ten show Hey O Tony. 0:10:25.440 --> 0:10:29.160 Yesterday avoided his first four game stretch without a hit 0:10:29.400 --> 0:10:32.000 as a Dodger, as he had a single in the 0:10:32.040 --> 0:10:35.280 first inning yesterday. He finished the night one for three 0:10:35.360 --> 0:10:38.760 with two run scores and two walks. So there's no 0:10:39.480 --> 0:10:41.840 secret when the Dodgers get some production out of show 0:10:41.840 --> 0:10:43.760 Hey O Tony, like they did last night. In fact, 0:10:43.800 --> 0:10:46.120 every Dodger started last night with the base hit. The 0:10:46.160 --> 0:10:49.120 Dodgers score runs, and they win baseball games. They beat 0:10:49.160 --> 0:10:50.920 the Cubbies last night twelve to four. 0:10:51.800 --> 0:10:55.679 This is Kirston's Corner with Kirston Watson. 0:10:56.360 --> 0:10:59.160 Hey Kirson now joins us live from the stadium before 0:10:59.160 --> 0:11:01.960 the Dodgers and comes brought to you Buy cars for kids, 0:11:02.000 --> 0:11:03.440 the easiest way to get rid of your little car. 0:11:03.480 --> 0:11:06.160 Donate today your car could be picked up tomorrow. Donating 0:11:06.160 --> 0:11:08.800 now with carsfrokids dot Org. That's Cars with the K. 0:11:09.559 --> 0:11:12.880 A second straight day no Will Smith in the lineup 0:11:12.880 --> 0:11:14.160 for Dave Roberts Garson. 0:11:14.520 --> 0:11:16.680 Yeah, and you know what, coming into this series, Dave 0:11:16.760 --> 0:11:19.200 Roberts has made it pretty clear that he wanted Will 0:11:19.200 --> 0:11:21.280 Smith to play in all three games, which is why 0:11:21.320 --> 0:11:23.319 he really balanced things when the team was on the 0:11:23.400 --> 0:11:25.960 road in San Francisco and he's not out there. So 0:11:26.040 --> 0:11:29.000 yesterday Dave Roberts said that Will's dealing with a little 0:11:29.040 --> 0:11:31.600 bit of back tightness, and he said today it's the 0:11:31.640 --> 0:11:33.880 same thing. He did say that he felt like, you know, 0:11:34.040 --> 0:11:36.320 Will could be out there today if he needed to be. 0:11:36.600 --> 0:11:39.360 They're truly looking at this as something of let's give 0:11:39.400 --> 0:11:42.079 him the time to just rest right now. There's no 0:11:42.120 --> 0:11:44.880 need to push him. Dalton Rushing has been playing very well. 0:11:45.200 --> 0:11:47.679 He works very well behind the plate with these pitchers, 0:11:47.960 --> 0:11:49.560 so and they were kind of like, you know what, 0:11:49.679 --> 0:11:51.760 it's early in the season. Let's continue to give Will 0:11:51.840 --> 0:11:55.040 a little bit more time. They're considering him essentially day 0:11:55.080 --> 0:11:57.880 to day at the moment. But Dave Roberts was asked 0:11:58.280 --> 0:12:00.840 if this continues in the next few days, is it 0:12:00.840 --> 0:12:02.920 feels like it's something that could put will Smith on 0:12:03.000 --> 0:12:05.439 the il, and he made it pretty clear that at 0:12:05.440 --> 0:12:08.160 this moment that's not something they're considering. They're really just 0:12:08.240 --> 0:12:10.720 more of let's just continue to give him a day 0:12:10.840 --> 0:12:12.880 or two to heal so that he can feel just 0:12:12.920 --> 0:12:15.360 at a better position, because realistically they did say that 0:12:15.400 --> 0:12:16.760 he could be out there right now. 0:12:16.760 --> 0:12:18.720 They're just playing it safe. 0:12:18.760 --> 0:12:20.840 Will Smith one of those guys at the top of 0:12:20.880 --> 0:12:23.440 the lineup throughout the season, and we look at what 0:12:23.480 --> 0:12:26.280 the Dodgers bottom half of the lineup was done most recently, 0:12:26.360 --> 0:12:27.760 Kirsten feels like they're. 0:12:27.559 --> 0:12:29.200 Carrying them it truly. 0:12:29.240 --> 0:12:30.960 I mean, even if you look at yesterday, the bottom 0:12:30.960 --> 0:12:33.080 of the order accounted for driving in half of the 0:12:33.120 --> 0:12:36.520 team's runs. Yesterday we saw an explosive offensive performance. But 0:12:36.840 --> 0:12:39.360 when you look at the numbers for Dodgers hitters six, 0:12:39.679 --> 0:12:42.520 six through nine last night, they were seven for eighteen. 0:12:42.600 --> 0:12:44.319 But if you look at just on the season, they 0:12:44.360 --> 0:12:47.440 have a collected three twenty nine batting average, they are 0:12:47.440 --> 0:12:48.400 at nine forty one. 0:12:48.480 --> 0:12:49.040 Ops. 0:12:49.080 --> 0:12:52.040 I mean, they look excellent right now. And so I 0:12:52.120 --> 0:12:54.920 was asking Dave Roberts just what he's been seeing from 0:12:54.960 --> 0:12:58.320 the bottom half of the order, and he is saying that, like, look, 0:12:58.600 --> 0:13:00.880 coming into the season, whenever we talk about their success, 0:13:00.960 --> 0:13:03.880 it was more of guys are taking really good at bats. Obviously, 0:13:03.960 --> 0:13:06.280 Andy Potter has has been typically the bottom of the order, 0:13:06.360 --> 0:13:08.600 so he was very much a part of that conversation, 0:13:08.720 --> 0:13:10.560 and we know what he's been able to do to 0:13:10.600 --> 0:13:13.560 start this season. But Dave today and I asked him 0:13:13.559 --> 0:13:15.400 about it. I asked him about how does it now 0:13:15.480 --> 0:13:19.360 stabilize this order, especially considering the top of the order 0:13:19.559 --> 0:13:22.600 just hasn't really gotten going to its full potential just yet, 0:13:22.960 --> 0:13:25.720 and he said what he's been seeing from the group, 0:13:25.840 --> 0:13:29.960 it's their truly exceeding expectations at the moment, maybe not 0:13:29.960 --> 0:13:33.080 necessarily for themselves individually, but for what they've been able 0:13:33.120 --> 0:13:34.599 to do and how they've been able to produce the 0:13:34.600 --> 0:13:37.120 bottom of the order for this team, it's well beyond 0:13:37.200 --> 0:13:39.599 what I think Dave Roberts the organization really could have 0:13:39.640 --> 0:13:42.400 imagined when they put together this lineup structure. So it 0:13:42.440 --> 0:13:44.920 continues to put pressure on the picture. It does continue 0:13:45.000 --> 0:13:47.720 you to lengthen things out when it comes to the order, 0:13:47.960 --> 0:13:50.160 but there is a stabilizing factor and how we've been 0:13:50.160 --> 0:13:52.560 able to see the offense get going and putting up 0:13:52.600 --> 0:13:54.160 runs and just support for the pictures. 0:13:54.320 --> 0:13:56.320 No doubt the bottom of the lineup has been big 0:13:56.320 --> 0:13:58.480 for this Dodgers team. Kirsen, we appreciate it. We'll check 0:13:58.520 --> 0:14:00.439 in with you after the game. Still I'm here on 0:14:00.520 --> 0:14:03.560 Moroco Casino Dodgers on deck. David Vatsee goes one on 0:14:03.559 --> 0:14:05.600 one with Will Climb. But up next we'll get you 0:14:05.640 --> 0:14:08.640 an injury report and we'll hear from the manager himself, 0:14:08.800 --> 0:14:11.480 Dave Roberts as we lead you up to Dodgers and 0:14:11.600 --> 0:14:13.199 Cubbies on this Sunday afternoon. 0:14:13.240 --> 0:14:15.120 First pitch of one ten. I'm Tim Katson. 0:14:15.160 --> 0:14:20.400 Is the back to back World Series champion Dodgers Audio notWe. 0:14:20.640 --> 0:14:26.720 This is Marongo Casino Dodgers on Deck on your home 0:14:26.800 --> 0:14:29.760 for the blue all season law Law. 0:14:29.920 --> 0:14:34.040 Bronggo Casino Dodgers on Deck continues on this Sunday afternoon 0:14:34.080 --> 0:14:36.360 as we leads up to Dodgers and Cobies rubber game 0:14:36.400 --> 0:14:39.320 of this three game set Wrongo Casino Resort and Spy 0:14:39.400 --> 0:14:41.440 a Grand Slam afore good times. 0:14:41.520 --> 0:14:43.760 Justin Robleski on the mount. First pitch at one ten. 0:14:44.240 --> 0:14:48.680 This is the LA Dodgers Injury. 0:14:48.360 --> 0:14:51.760 Report presented by UCLA Healthy official medical partner of the 0:14:51.760 --> 0:14:54.480 Los Angeles Dodgers. Edwin Diaz on the IL recovering from 0:14:54.520 --> 0:14:56.880 elbows surgery. He'll be back after the All Star Breakbin 0:14:56.960 --> 0:15:00.520 Consparius on the IL right shoulder inflammation, Mookie Bets on 0:15:00.560 --> 0:15:02.680 the I L with the right oblique strain, Tommy Emmon 0:15:02.760 --> 0:15:05.760 on the I L recovering from all season ankle surgery. 0:15:06.320 --> 0:15:07.760 Blake Snell on the I e L. 0:15:07.840 --> 0:15:09.800 So I'm throwing a bullpen session just a few minutes 0:15:09.840 --> 0:15:11.760 ago at Dodger Stadium because he works his way back. 0:15:11.800 --> 0:15:14.760 He already has one minor league rehab stint underneath his 0:15:14.800 --> 0:15:18.280 belt with Ontario Bruce dark Gratterol working his way back. 0:15:18.320 --> 0:15:18.960 That is good news. 0:15:18.960 --> 0:15:21.720 Brock Stewart's and Triple A Oklahoma City also working his 0:15:21.760 --> 0:15:23.880 way back. So the Dodgers trending in the right direction. 0:15:23.960 --> 0:15:26.720 Looks like as far as the injuries are concerned, Let's 0:15:26.760 --> 0:15:28.280 head back out to the stadium and check out the 0:15:28.320 --> 0:15:29.040 Dodger skipper. 0:15:29.360 --> 0:15:29.800 Anything else. 0:15:31.320 --> 0:15:34.400 The questions for Dave Dave, can you just describe Dave? 0:15:34.440 --> 0:15:36.280 Can you talk about the pressure. 0:15:36.720 --> 0:15:39.120 In the dugouts with Dave Roberts? 0:15:40.280 --> 0:15:44.440 No, really, no, no new news. It's one of those 0:15:44.520 --> 0:15:48.680 he could play if needed to, but we just felt 0:15:48.720 --> 0:15:50.360 it was smart to just give him an extra day 0:15:50.400 --> 0:15:54.040 and I guess put him in the day to day category. 0:15:54.360 --> 0:15:55.920 Is this something that you think you kind of want 0:15:55.960 --> 0:15:58.000 to give him some time right now and considering just 0:15:58.040 --> 0:15:59.000 how well Dull rushing. 0:15:59.280 --> 0:16:02.960 Absolutely absolutely, you know, you kind of weigh out the 0:16:03.000 --> 0:16:05.880 positives and negatives, and you know, my hope is is 0:16:06.000 --> 0:16:08.480 he's in there tomorrow. But to have Dalton going away, 0:16:08.480 --> 0:16:12.120 he's going and you know it just you know, just 0:16:12.160 --> 0:16:15.280 only seems like, you know, downside to kind of push 0:16:15.400 --> 0:16:15.960 him right now. 0:16:16.720 --> 0:16:19.360 It's something that the RECOGNI. 0:16:19.160 --> 0:16:20.520 Of the days, the quire and I know. 0:16:23.120 --> 0:16:25.560 And even talking to the training staff, it's something that 0:16:25.680 --> 0:16:28.320 again he could have played last night, he could have 0:16:28.360 --> 0:16:31.080 probably played today, but we didn't want to push it. 0:16:31.120 --> 0:16:33.760 So I don't think that Aisles, you know, any consideration. 0:16:34.360 --> 0:16:36.640 The duck hitting came back in a big way last night, 0:16:36.760 --> 0:16:38.880 and can you attribute that to and what do you 0:16:38.880 --> 0:16:42.800 expect from the Cup today? 0:16:42.880 --> 0:16:47.840 You know, I think, uh yeah, taking you know, good 0:16:47.840 --> 0:16:51.360 at bats as the goal. Obviously. I thought there was 0:16:51.400 --> 0:16:53.440 some good contact in the big part of the field, 0:16:54.720 --> 0:16:57.720 taking walks when needed. Showy I got on base a 0:16:57.720 --> 0:17:03.040 few times last night. You know, the homer certainly don't hurt, 0:17:03.440 --> 0:17:06.040 but the bottom half continues to do what they've been doing. 0:17:06.920 --> 0:17:08.639 As far as the Cubs, they're going to try to 0:17:08.680 --> 0:17:11.280 win a series just like we are. You know, they 0:17:11.280 --> 0:17:14.600 got their guy Imon Naga going and Justin's went on 0:17:14.720 --> 0:17:18.040 the baseball really well, so like you know him going today, 0:17:18.080 --> 0:17:19.240 so it should be a good one today. 0:17:19.320 --> 0:17:21.359 All right, there's the manager Dave Roberts with the media 0:17:21.440 --> 0:17:23.159 just a few minutes ago.
