The Dodgers were 0:01:53.280 --> 0:01:57.520 last in action last Thursday night out of Dodgers Stadium 0:01:57.560 --> 0:02:00.720 and a thriller against the Phillies in Game four of 0:02:00.800 --> 0:02:04.840 the NLDS. As the Dodgers were up in that series 0:02:04.840 --> 0:02:06.840 two games to one, looking to close it out. With 0:02:06.920 --> 0:02:10.200 Tyler Glass now on the mound against a really good 0:02:10.320 --> 0:02:13.520 leftender in Christopher Sanchez, they went toe to toe for 0:02:13.680 --> 0:02:16.679 six innings Sanchez six and a third, one run five 0:02:16.760 --> 0:02:17.839 hitch five strikeouts. 0:02:18.000 --> 0:02:20.919 Tyler Glass now six shutout innings. 0:02:21.160 --> 0:02:23.880 He gave up just two hits while striking out eight 0:02:23.960 --> 0:02:27.480 along the way. The phillies lone run came in the 0:02:27.480 --> 0:02:30.840 top half of the seventh inning off Image Shean, Castellanos 0:02:30.880 --> 0:02:33.720 and Rbi doubled down the left field line, scoring Kepler, 0:02:33.880 --> 0:02:36.560 and the Phillies grabbed a one nothing lead. But the 0:02:36.639 --> 0:02:39.280 Dodgers would answer back in the bottom of the seventh. 0:02:39.320 --> 0:02:42.679 They'd load the bases after an intentional walk to show hey. 0:02:42.680 --> 0:02:46.239 Otani put all the runners on for Mookie Betts, who 0:02:46.320 --> 0:02:49.079 drew a walk with the bases loaded that brought in 0:02:49.160 --> 0:02:52.680 the Tye run. The Dodgers and Phillies were tied at one. 0:02:53.200 --> 0:02:56.600 They went to extra innings. Roki Sasaki asked to go 0:02:56.720 --> 0:03:00.520 multiple innings, and he did three to be exact. Meanwhile, 0:03:00.520 --> 0:03:04.480 the Phillies bullpen continue to put up zeros until the 0:03:04.520 --> 0:03:08.880 bottom half of the eleventh inning, Dodgers got runners on base. 0:03:08.960 --> 0:03:11.799 And sometimes doesn't matter how hard you hit it, how 0:03:11.840 --> 0:03:13.840 far you hit it, It's just that you hit it. 0:03:14.520 --> 0:03:17.920 Heart rates through the roof the oh one pitch. PA 0:03:18.040 --> 0:03:20.440 has grounds it back to Kirkery. He can't find it, 0:03:20.560 --> 0:03:21.280 he tells home. 0:03:21.480 --> 0:03:26.040 It's wide ten scores and the Dodgers are going to 0:03:26.120 --> 0:03:27.760 the Championship Series. 0:03:35.200 --> 0:03:36.080 Fire Works go. 0:03:36.240 --> 0:03:40.320 Off in center field. The Dodgers celebrate your first. 0:03:40.040 --> 0:03:43.200 Base on a ground ball back to the pitcher. 0:03:43.880 --> 0:03:47.520 Andy pot has somehow gets the job done. 0:03:48.440 --> 0:03:51.960 Andy Pie has hit it sixty feet six inches right 0:03:52.040 --> 0:03:55.520 to Ryan Kirkeran who bobbled the ground ball. Then in 0:03:55.560 --> 0:03:58.120 a panic, instead of throwing the first for the final out, 0:03:58.200 --> 0:04:01.320 decided to go home with it on Kim Wash tailing 0:04:01.360 --> 0:04:04.280 it down the line, beat the throw which was high 0:04:04.400 --> 0:04:07.240 to the catcher as he comes in to score, and 0:04:07.320 --> 0:04:11.480 the Dodgers walk off the Phillies last Thursday night, advancing 0:04:11.520 --> 0:04:13.640 to this National League Championship Series. 0:04:13.880 --> 0:04:15.600 As the Dodgers ninety. 0:04:15.320 --> 0:04:18.360 Three wins during the regular season now go up against 0:04:18.400 --> 0:04:22.560 the Milwaukee Brewers, who had ninety seven wins, most in 0:04:22.560 --> 0:04:25.240 the National League during the regular season. And of course, 0:04:25.279 --> 0:04:26.599 that was the top tier play of the game, brought 0:04:26.600 --> 0:04:29.240 to by Arco quality, top tier gas for less. As 0:04:29.279 --> 0:04:31.640 the Dodgers get fueled up and ready to go now 0:04:31.800 --> 0:04:35.359 as they continue their postseason March now in Milwaukee for 0:04:35.400 --> 0:04:38.159 the NLCS, Blake Snell on the mound first pitch coming 0:04:38.200 --> 0:04:40.080 up at five ozo Waight and with more, let's head 0:04:40.080 --> 0:04:42.320 out to the Gallpin Motors broadcast booth as we welcome 0:04:42.360 --> 0:04:44.680 in Steven Nelson and Rick Monday. 0:04:44.720 --> 0:04:47.320 Guys, Tim Kats happy to join you from the good 0:04:47.400 --> 0:04:50.919 Land Game one of the National League Championship Series the 0:04:51.000 --> 0:04:55.080 Dodgers and Brewers. We've seen this postseason matchup before, Rick Monday. 0:04:55.080 --> 0:04:58.479 In twenty eighteen in the NLCS, the Brewers had home 0:04:58.520 --> 0:05:00.839 field advantage, came back home the three to two lead. 0:05:00.880 --> 0:05:04.480 The Dodgers won games six and seven to advance to 0:05:04.520 --> 0:05:06.400 the World Series. Then in twenty twenty in the wild 0:05:06.440 --> 0:05:09.560 Card round, the Dodgers swept these two teams. But this year, 0:05:09.920 --> 0:05:12.799 this Brewer's team the best record in Major League Baseball. 0:05:12.839 --> 0:05:15.760 They swept the season series from the Dodgers. This is 0:05:15.800 --> 0:05:18.599 going to be a tough test, even if most Dodger 0:05:18.680 --> 0:05:21.680 fans can't name a handful of players on that roster. 0:05:21.760 --> 0:05:25.120 Yeah, we talked Stephen in Philadelphia in the Division series 0:05:25.120 --> 0:05:26.840 about how loud that crowd was going to be. It 0:05:26.920 --> 0:05:29.640 was going to be the same way here before the game, 0:05:29.720 --> 0:05:31.480 we can say, well, the roof has been closed. There 0:05:31.520 --> 0:05:35.360 was some rain around the Milwaukee area, throughout the day. 0:05:35.800 --> 0:05:37.400 This is going to be a Rockers ground. It's been 0:05:37.440 --> 0:05:39.760 a while since the Brewers have gotten this far into 0:05:39.800 --> 0:05:43.800 postseason playing, and everybody sells the Brewers short. But then, 0:05:43.880 --> 0:05:45.760 as you mentioned, I mean, the best record in baseball, 0:05:46.200 --> 0:05:49.119 and they may be to some people. Is Pat Murphy, 0:05:49.160 --> 0:05:52.720 their managers is they may be the average joes, he said, 0:05:52.720 --> 0:05:54.719 but I look at him as woodpeckers. They just don't 0:05:54.760 --> 0:05:56.800 give up and they just continue to do it. And 0:05:56.800 --> 0:05:59.640 that's exactly what the Dodgers experienced because in losing those 0:05:59.680 --> 0:06:02.360 six games, yes that was in July, the Dodgers are 0:06:02.360 --> 0:06:04.800 not playing particularly well right. They also didn't have all 0:06:04.800 --> 0:06:07.200 other guys that were healthy either, but they were outscored 0:06:07.279 --> 0:06:09.839 thirty one runs to sixteen in that stretch. Did not 0:06:09.960 --> 0:06:11.799 sell the Brewers short at all. 0:06:11.960 --> 0:06:14.800 No, they had two win streaks this season of at 0:06:14.880 --> 0:06:17.760 least eleven games, and the Dodgers caught them during one 0:06:17.800 --> 0:06:19.920 of those hot streaks when they, as you mentioned, did 0:06:19.960 --> 0:06:21.680 not have a lot of the horses that are on 0:06:21.720 --> 0:06:24.600 the pitching staff incluting tonight's Game one starter. But it's 0:06:24.640 --> 0:06:27.640 an interesting contrast this championship series. Of course, you talk 0:06:27.680 --> 0:06:31.880 about market size, La against Milwaukee. You talk about payroll size, 0:06:32.080 --> 0:06:35.200 but really how these two teams play the games as well. 0:06:35.240 --> 0:06:38.120 The Dodgers, of course, led by their starting pitching. The Brewers, 0:06:38.160 --> 0:06:40.480 on the other hand, led by their bullpen. The Dodger 0:06:40.560 --> 0:06:44.240 offense built on slug the Brewer lineup that's built on 0:06:44.480 --> 0:06:47.160 playing small ball, doing all the fundamentals, the little things, 0:06:47.200 --> 0:06:49.239 being aggressive on the base pass, hitting with the runners 0:06:49.240 --> 0:06:52.040 in scoring position, getting the guy over. So I'm really 0:06:52.040 --> 0:06:55.599 excited to watch this series playout, but ultimately it feels 0:06:55.680 --> 0:06:58.280 like it could hinge on the Dodgers' ability to catch 0:06:58.279 --> 0:06:59.160 and throw the ball cleanland. 0:06:59.200 --> 0:07:02.640 Yeah, absolutely, because the Brewers, like the Dodgers, really did 0:07:02.640 --> 0:07:05.840 not beat themselves by making bad mistakes on the field, 0:07:05.880 --> 0:07:08.159 whether it be based running, swinging the bat. Swinging the 0:07:08.200 --> 0:07:10.600 bat also something the Dodgers a couple of guys need 0:07:10.600 --> 0:07:11.680 to figure some things out. 0:07:11.720 --> 0:07:11.920 Show. 0:07:11.960 --> 0:07:15.640 Hey, Otani did not have a good session. If you 0:07:15.680 --> 0:07:19.160 look at postseason so far, in particular against left handed pitching. Well, 0:07:19.520 --> 0:07:22.240 they've got a left he's going to open for them today. 0:07:22.320 --> 0:07:24.880 Ashby the left heam might be in there for one inning, 0:07:24.920 --> 0:07:27.680 maybe two at the most. But for this Dodger ball 0:07:27.680 --> 0:07:30.160 club from top to bottom. They were able to fill 0:07:31.000 --> 0:07:33.640 the spectrum of getting base hits, but I think more 0:07:33.640 --> 0:07:35.920 emphasis on getting hits than trying to go long bawl 0:07:35.920 --> 0:07:36.560 in this series. 0:07:36.640 --> 0:07:39.280 Yeah, we'll see what version of the Dodger offense shows 0:07:39.360 --> 0:07:41.720 up to start this NLCS ten. Because, of course, in 0:07:41.760 --> 0:07:44.720 a wild card round against the Reds, eighteen runs in 0:07:44.760 --> 0:07:47.600 two games on twenty eight hits. Well, in four games 0:07:47.600 --> 0:07:49.800 against the Phillies they had twenty eight hits in just 0:07:49.880 --> 0:07:50.640 thirteen runs. 0:07:50.680 --> 0:07:51.000 Score. 0:07:51.240 --> 0:07:52.960 It's going to take more than that if they're going 0:07:53.000 --> 0:07:55.840 to knock off the number one record in Major League Baseball. 0:07:56.120 --> 0:07:58.160 We'll get back to you a little bit later with 0:07:58.200 --> 0:07:59.000 some keys from mom. 0:07:59.160 --> 0:08:00.960 All right, thank you, Elli, as we cut you down 0:08:01.000 --> 0:08:03.200 to first pitch.

Blake's now on the 0:09:05.120 --> 0:09:07.559 mount in the series opener.

That's Cars with the k 0:09:22.800 --> 0:09:27.199 to donate your car. Today. Here we are Game one NLCS. 0:09:27.400 --> 0:09:29.960 The Dodgers a chance to reset their roster for this 0:09:30.120 --> 0:09:31.839 round and a little bit of a tweak to this 0:09:31.920 --> 0:09:32.920 twenty six man roster. 0:09:33.040 --> 0:09:33.400 Karson. 0:09:33.720 --> 0:09:37.120 Yeah. So in the Wildcard as well as the NLDS, 0:09:37.160 --> 0:09:39.760 the Dodgers were carrying three catchers. A lot of that 0:09:39.840 --> 0:09:42.439 was due to Will Smith, the health of his hand fracture. 0:09:42.640 --> 0:09:44.439 He's in a much better spot. He of course is 0:09:44.480 --> 0:09:47.520 starting behind the plate today, and so they felt confident 0:09:47.600 --> 0:09:50.319 that they were only going to need two catchers for 0:09:50.400 --> 0:09:52.840 this series. So they ultimately went with Will Smith and 0:09:52.880 --> 0:09:55.079 then Ben Rourtvett, who has been such a force where 0:09:55.080 --> 0:09:57.400 they're working with the pitching staff working behind the plate 0:09:57.960 --> 0:10:00.280 while will Smith was down. So they've got those two 0:10:00.280 --> 0:10:03.320 catchers behind the plate. Then, so with that they added 0:10:03.360 --> 0:10:06.480 an additional pitcher. Of course, this is a best of seven, 0:10:06.840 --> 0:10:10.000 so they added Ben Casparius. And for Ben this year, 0:10:10.040 --> 0:10:13.160 he started off it was excellent. He was a key 0:10:13.240 --> 0:10:15.079 arm out of the bullpen. It was available in high 0:10:15.120 --> 0:10:17.880 lover situations. Then when there were some injuries to the rotation, 0:10:18.000 --> 0:10:20.160 they kind of built him up a little bit more 0:10:20.200 --> 0:10:21.840 so that he could be a part of the rotation, 0:10:22.160 --> 0:10:25.560 and that's where he started to struggle. They sent him 0:10:25.600 --> 0:10:27.920 back to the bullpen, but there was a point where 0:10:28.120 --> 0:10:30.200 one of the keys for him was getting righties out 0:10:30.200 --> 0:10:33.320 and he just was really struggling facing against righty batters. 0:10:33.320 --> 0:10:35.920 So they sent him down, they optioned him, and with 0:10:36.000 --> 0:10:38.080 that they put a goal in mind and it was 0:10:38.200 --> 0:10:40.600 just to lock in, make a few adjustments, get back 0:10:40.640 --> 0:10:43.560 on track. And what Andrew Friedman said today, he said, 0:10:43.640 --> 0:10:46.000 we challenged him and he went down there and he 0:10:46.000 --> 0:10:48.080 did exactly what he needed to do to get back 0:10:48.120 --> 0:10:51.120 on track. So he's been staying hot. He's been a 0:10:51.160 --> 0:10:53.840 with this team, traveling during of course of the postseason. 0:10:54.120 --> 0:10:56.040 But he feels good and he's excited to be a 0:10:56.040 --> 0:10:58.760 part of this NLCS roster and being to get on 0:10:58.800 --> 0:11:00.480 that mound and be in a position in which he 0:11:00.520 --> 0:11:03.200 can contribute, be another rity out of the bullpen, but 0:11:03.320 --> 0:11:06.080 contribute in key moments that it seems like this team 0:11:06.160 --> 0:11:08.439 is going to meet, especially in a seven game series, 0:11:08.880 --> 0:11:09.600 Dodgers are going to. 0:11:09.600 --> 0:11:12.040 Need show Hayo Tani to contribute as well. He's pretty 0:11:12.080 --> 0:11:14.840 quiet in the NLDS got neutralized by their left handers 0:11:15.080 --> 0:11:17.760 in the Phillies lineup. But this series a little different 0:11:17.760 --> 0:11:19.880 with the Brewers and the Dodgers are gonna need him. 0:11:20.240 --> 0:11:22.680 Yeah, it is gonna look a little bit different. We 0:11:22.760 --> 0:11:26.120 knew in the NLDS going up against the Phillies they 0:11:26.120 --> 0:11:28.160 were going to throw a bunch of lefties out, and 0:11:28.200 --> 0:11:29.480 we knew it was going to be some of the 0:11:29.480 --> 0:11:32.760 best lefties in this league. They attacked show Hey A 0:11:32.840 --> 0:11:37.640 Tani honestly, I mean in their case beautifully. Even Andrew 0:11:37.679 --> 0:11:40.920 Friedman this afternoon was just saying, you know, you had 0:11:41.040 --> 0:11:45.320 really good pitchers who executed their pitches perfectly facing show 0:11:45.320 --> 0:11:47.680 Hey O Tani and so yes there was a swing 0:11:47.720 --> 0:11:49.760 of miss maybe there could have been some better pitch selection, 0:11:50.120 --> 0:11:53.480 but ultimately just show Hey just wasn't in a position 0:11:53.559 --> 0:11:56.080 to be successful due to who he was facing. Now 0:11:56.080 --> 0:11:58.760 he comes into the NLCS looking to get back on track. 0:11:59.080 --> 0:12:02.000 Dave Roberts talking about him today, and they feel confident 0:12:02.040 --> 0:12:04.240 within him, you know, for him, they believe that they 0:12:04.320 --> 0:12:07.160 just want to see some consistent and better at bats 0:12:07.160 --> 0:12:10.880 and some more consistent at bats. So for that, obviously, 0:12:10.920 --> 0:12:12.920 when it comes to this match with the Brewers are 0:12:12.960 --> 0:12:16.880 going with a lefty opener in Ashby. The hope it's 0:12:16.920 --> 0:12:19.040 gonna look a little bit different compared to the lefties 0:12:19.080 --> 0:12:21.640 we saw in the for the Phillies. But the hope 0:12:21.720 --> 0:12:24.120 is that Showhittani can get back on track. He is 0:12:24.160 --> 0:12:26.200 going to pitch at some point in this series. Is 0:12:26.200 --> 0:12:27.400 not going to be a part of the first two 0:12:27.400 --> 0:12:30.160 games today, of course, Blake Snell tomorrow, Yoshinobia on Moto, 0:12:30.520 --> 0:12:32.400 but there is a plan for him to pitch in 0:12:32.440 --> 0:12:34.000 this series where right now the hope is he can 0:12:34.040 --> 0:12:37.680 kind of just get things going offensively, get back on track, 0:12:37.720 --> 0:12:40.680 and they feel absolutely confident as to what she can do. 0:12:41.240 --> 0:12:43.600 And we know sometimes the show Hey, it just it 0:12:43.640 --> 0:12:45.280 really can take one to pitch, and that is going 0:12:45.320 --> 0:12:47.400 to be a home run that might actually go through 0:12:47.400 --> 0:12:51.480 the windows here because they're open. So hopefully he can 0:12:51.520 --> 0:12:54.400 do that, and we will talk about show Hey struggling anymore. 0:12:54.480 --> 0:12:55.520 That'll be the end of it. 0:12:55.520 --> 0:12:57.920 It's good show Hey. Back on track is the Dodgers. 0:12:58.120 --> 0:13:00.040 Good things will happen after that, but right here and 0:13:00.120 --> 0:13:01.439 we appreciate it. Well, check in with you after the 0:13:01.480 --> 0:13:04.000 game still to come here on Marongo Casino Dodgers on Deck, 0:13:04.040 --> 0:13:06.400 we will hear from David vesse. He goes one on 0:13:06.400 --> 0:13:08.719 one with Dodger catcher Will Smith. But up next we'll 0:13:08.760 --> 0:13:11.480 hear from the manager Dave Roberts. Get his pregame thoughts 0:13:11.600 --> 0:13:13.320 as we leads up to Game one of the National 0:13:13.400 --> 0:13:16.479 League Championship Series Dodgers and Brewers from Milwaukee. 0:13:16.640 --> 0:13:17.679 I'm Tim Kats and this. 0:13:17.720 --> 0:13:23.520 Is the world champion Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network. 0:13:23.720 --> 0:13:29.800 This is Marongo Casino Dodgers on deck on your home 0:13:29.920 --> 0:13:31.800 for the blue all season long. 0:13:33.280 --> 0:13:36.480 Marongo Casino Dodgers on Deck, continues says. We leads up 0:13:36.480 --> 0:13:39.760 to first pitch, Game one of the National League Championship Series, 0:13:39.960 --> 0:13:43.240 Dodgers in Milwaukee taking on the Brewers, Marongo Casino Resort 0:13:43.280 --> 0:13:46.200 and Spa a Grand Slam for a good time. Is 0:13:46.200 --> 0:13:48.280 Blake Snell on the mound for the Dodgers in the 0:13:48.320 --> 0:13:50.839 series opener, first pitch coming up at five oh eight. 0:13:51.080 --> 0:13:53.880 Anything questions for Dave? 0:13:53.960 --> 0:13:54.160 Dave? 0:13:54.240 --> 0:13:56.080 Can you just describe Dave? 0:13:56.120 --> 0:13:58.000 Can you talk about the pressure. 0:13:58.400 --> 0:14:00.720 In the dugouts with Dave Robberts? 0:14:01.480 --> 0:14:04.720 Dave pat Murphy has not been shy about describing his 0:14:04.760 --> 0:14:07.120 team as the underdog in this series. I think he 0:14:07.200 --> 0:14:09.040 joked today he wasn't sure if most of your players 0:14:09.080 --> 0:14:12.640 could name a Brewers. Has this been a concern at 0:14:12.640 --> 0:14:14.439 all for you, just in the way these teams are 0:14:14.679 --> 0:14:17.839 give you perception wise publicly that you guys are taking 0:14:17.840 --> 0:14:18.640 them lately at all. 0:14:19.880 --> 0:14:24.000 No, No, not of not a concern at all. That's 0:14:24.040 --> 0:14:26.680 just kind of how Murphy is. He tries to get 0:14:26.720 --> 0:14:31.720 into psyche and he's telling his team the opposite right 0:14:31.840 --> 0:14:36.760 in the clubhouse behind closed stores, so we know the act. 0:14:37.880 --> 0:14:41.040 He's gonna have his guys prepared. But no, we're prepared. 0:14:41.160 --> 0:14:44.640 We're playing good baseball and we expect the same out 0:14:44.680 --> 0:14:46.920 of those guys and all that. You know, the talk 0:14:47.040 --> 0:14:49.680 isn't going to really factor in the you know, once 0:14:49.720 --> 0:14:50.880 the game starts. 0:14:50.760 --> 0:14:52.800 And then teams make a lot of errors against these 0:14:52.840 --> 0:14:54.840 guys with the way they play. What is it about 0:14:54.880 --> 0:14:56.960 what they do the kind of leads to that, how 0:14:56.960 --> 0:14:58.960 do you guys kind of get your guys prepared to 0:14:59.000 --> 0:15:00.560 try to avoid some of that defensively? 0:15:01.480 --> 0:15:05.720 Yeah, I think what it is starts with is they 0:15:05.760 --> 0:15:09.080 give a hard ninety, They run hard, they give a 0:15:09.080 --> 0:15:12.920 good effort, They try to be opportunistic on the bases, 0:15:12.960 --> 0:15:16.840 take the extra base. The batter runner is always aggressive, 0:15:16.880 --> 0:15:20.160 as a trail runner, and so with that, it puts 0:15:20.760 --> 0:15:22.640 a little bit more pressure on the defense to be 0:15:22.680 --> 0:15:25.120 sure handed, to be a little bit quicker, and so 0:15:25.480 --> 0:15:27.760 we're certainly prepared for that and understand that's how they 0:15:27.800 --> 0:15:29.400 play and that's the way you're supposed to play. 0:15:30.480 --> 0:15:34.160 Sonya, second round, Dave, what was kind of behind the 0:15:34.200 --> 0:15:37.720 decision to add Casparius and then remove Rushing from the roster. 0:15:39.880 --> 0:15:43.720 You know, with the rushing piece, we felt that Will 0:15:43.800 --> 0:15:48.240 is in a good spot to feel that we don't 0:15:48.280 --> 0:15:53.040 need to protect him to have a third catcher with Ben, 0:15:53.320 --> 0:15:58.120 we just felt that having another right hander to sort 0:15:58.120 --> 0:16:01.320 of be able to, you know, take down a certain 0:16:01.360 --> 0:16:06.160 part of their lineup if needed. And Ben was pitching 0:16:06.200 --> 0:16:08.840 the World Series last year, so he's got some experience 0:16:08.880 --> 0:16:09.360 as well. 0:16:09.400 --> 0:16:11.600 All Right, there's the manager, Dave Roberts talking about the 0:16:11.640 --> 0:16:14.040 twenty six man roster. A couple of tweaks from the 0:16:14.200 --> 0:16:17.840 NLDS now to the NLCS where we continue here. I'm 0:16:17.920 --> 0:16:20.400 Roco Casino, Dodgers on deck. We will check in with 0:16:20.800 --> 0:16:24.840 the David Vasse. Mister Milwaukee joins us next. So we 0:16:24.960 --> 0:16:27.720 lead you up to first pitch, Dodgers and Brewers game 0:16:27.800 --> 0:16:31.360 one of the NLCS. Some Tim Kas's World champion Los 0:16:31.400 --> 0:16:33.440 Angeles Dodgers Audio Network. 0:16:35.240 --> 0:16:39.920 As we were saying, yes, it's Marongo Casino Dodgers on 0:16:40.120 --> 0:16:45.320 deck on the official home of La Dodgers Baseball. 0:16:47.080 --> 0:16:49.520 It's the Dodgers and the Brewers, game one of the 0:16:49.600 --> 0:16:52.480 National Leg Championships Series. Blake Snell on the mountain for 0:16:52.520 --> 0:16:54.920 the Dodgers. Left hander Aaron Ashby will be the opener 0:16:55.000 --> 0:16:56.960 for the Brewers. First pitch coming up at. 0:16:56.840 --> 0:17:01.480 Five o eight, joining Tim Kay Dodgers on deck. 0:17:01.560 --> 0:17:03.320 I accept everybody for who they are. 0:17:03.440 --> 0:17:07.120 This is Dodger insider David Bassi. 0:17:07.040 --> 0:17:09.879 Or a DV less than an hour away from first pitch. 0:17:09.960 --> 0:17:11.800 What's it like there at American Family Field? 0:17:12.119 --> 0:17:15.320 Well, first and foremost, the roof will be closed for 0:17:15.480 --> 0:17:19.120 the first two games of the NLCS. Major League Baseball 0:17:19.200 --> 0:17:22.679 dictates that it was a little rainy and cold this afternoon, 0:17:22.800 --> 0:17:24.399 same as expected. 0:17:23.840 --> 0:17:25.560 Tomorrow, so the roof is closed. 0:17:25.560 --> 0:17:29.919 But unlike Chase Field in Arizona, the panels in the 0:17:29.960 --> 0:17:34.600 outfield don't exist here an American Family Field. Those are 0:17:34.720 --> 0:17:37.840 wide open windows, so the chill of the outdoor air 0:17:38.320 --> 0:17:43.119 is permeating inside American Family Field and the fans are 0:17:43.160 --> 0:17:45.919 starting to get into their seats. It's expected to be 0:17:45.960 --> 0:17:47.240 a sellout crowds. 0:17:47.359 --> 0:17:48.800 But I gotta be honest with you. 0:17:48.720 --> 0:17:51.800 Tim, not as much buzz here in Milwaukee as there 0:17:51.960 --> 0:17:55.000 was for Game one in Philadelphia. I guess it's just 0:17:55.080 --> 0:17:57.400 the kinder, gentler Midwest folk out here. 0:17:57.560 --> 0:17:59.600 They are nicer people than people in Philadelphia. 0:17:59.640 --> 0:18:01.720 Doubt Dames were city in Philadelphia. 0:18:02.480 --> 0:18:04.840 Davis brought to you by Ford. It's time to see 0:18:04.880 --> 0:18:07.119 Ford in a new light, all right, Dbie. What was 0:18:07.160 --> 0:18:10.159 the keys to the Dodgers to win this series as 0:18:10.160 --> 0:18:12.320 opposed to maybe last series in Philadelphia? 0:18:12.359 --> 0:18:13.359 Or is it still the same? 0:18:13.760 --> 0:18:15.040 No, it's much different. 0:18:15.160 --> 0:18:18.680 The Phillies were all about pitching and the Dodgers were 0:18:18.680 --> 0:18:21.440 able to grind out, you know, enough runs to beat 0:18:21.480 --> 0:18:25.200 the Phillies in a four game series. This is much different. 0:18:25.280 --> 0:18:29.040 The Dodgers are expecting o'tani and Freeman to do some 0:18:29.200 --> 0:18:32.919 damage against the Milwaukee right handers. The danger here, and 0:18:33.000 --> 0:18:36.320 the Dodgers got a taste of it in July when 0:18:36.320 --> 0:18:40.280 they lost six games and ten days to Milwaukee. Was 0:18:40.600 --> 0:18:45.639 just the tenacious base running that the Brewers' identity is. 0:18:46.080 --> 0:18:50.280 And talking to Miguel Rojas earlier this afternoon talking to 0:18:50.359 --> 0:18:53.760 Will Smith and Dino Ebel as well. They're all very 0:18:53.800 --> 0:18:56.520 aware of the fact what the Brewers like to do. 0:18:57.040 --> 0:18:59.680 If there's a runner on base, it's not just about 0:18:59.840 --> 0:19:02.320 the lead runner, it's about the runner that is, the 0:19:03.160 --> 0:19:05.560 batted runner, the trail runner. He'll try to take an 0:19:05.560 --> 0:19:10.040 extra base as well. So the way Miguel Rojas described 0:19:10.080 --> 0:19:13.760 it to me is the outfielders cannot just field a 0:19:13.880 --> 0:19:16.879 basic casually. They've got to be on their toes to 0:19:16.920 --> 0:19:19.480 be able to get that ball to the infield as 0:19:19.560 --> 0:19:23.040 quickly as possible. Expect, you know, the trail runner to 0:19:23.920 --> 0:19:27.840
