<v Speaker 3>Incredible and while others make excuses.

0:00:11.760 --> 0:00:13.800
<v Speaker 4>The only reason the Dodgers are doing this because they

0:00:13.800 --> 0:00:14.760
<v Speaker 4>can they print money.

0:00:14.760 --> 0:00:16.520
<v Speaker 1>The Dodgers just can't continue.

0:00:16.560 --> 0:00:17.320
<v Speaker 5>It's not fair.

0:00:17.480 --> 0:00:18.560

<v Speaker 3>magical moment. Charlie Steiner stops by. We'll preview this pitching

<v Speaker 3>matchup David vat Sego's one on one with his weekly

0:01:25.680 --> 0:01:28.440
<v Speaker 3>chat with the manager Dave Roberts. That's coming up in

<v Speaker 3>just a little bit, and we'll head out, of course

0:01:30.200 --> 0:01:32.840
<v Speaker 3>to the Galloping Ford Broadcast booth with Tim Nevert and

0:01:33.080 --> 0:01:35.720
<v Speaker 3>Rick Monday. Well, the Dodgers won on Friday against the

0:01:35.760 --> 0:01:37.600
<v Speaker 3>Angels to make it four straight this season.

0:01:37.800 --> 0:01:39.160
<v Speaker 5>Then they won on Saturday.

0:01:39.240 --> 0:01:42.320
<v Speaker 3>They were a five zero series lead against the Angels

0:01:42.440 --> 0:01:45.399
<v Speaker 3>with a chance to sweep the season series. On Sunday,

0:01:45.760 --> 0:01:48.960
<v Speaker 3>Emmett she and got the ball and immediately ran into

0:01:49.000 --> 0:01:51.760
<v Speaker 3>trouble as he lasted an inning in a third, giving

0:01:51.880 --> 0:01:55.320
<v Speaker 3>up two runs on three hits while walking to the

0:01:55.400 --> 0:01:58.400
<v Speaker 3>Angels jumped out to a two to nothing lead. Dodgers

0:01:58.400 --> 0:01:59.840
<v Speaker 3>cut that in half in the bottom of the third.

0:01:59.880 --> 0:02:02.720
<v Speaker 3>On Kyle Talker RBI Ground out that made it a

0:02:02.760 --> 0:02:05.480
<v Speaker 3>two to one Halos lead. But then the Angels really

0:02:05.480 --> 0:02:09.120
<v Speaker 3>pulled away. In the fourth Rivero a two run single

0:02:09.160 --> 0:02:11.639
<v Speaker 3>made it four to one. Then the Angels tacked on

0:02:11.760 --> 0:02:13.880
<v Speaker 3>more with two in the top half of the fifth inning.

0:02:14.200 --> 0:02:16.000
<v Speaker 5>Dodgers down six to one.

0:02:16.480 --> 0:02:18.800
<v Speaker 3>As they go to the bottom half of the sixth inning,

0:02:18.880 --> 0:02:23.560
<v Speaker 3>when they finally cut into the offensive groove, Dalton rushing

0:02:23.919 --> 0:02:25.600
<v Speaker 3>with a big blast.

0:02:25.320 --> 0:02:27.000
<v Speaker 5>To make it a six to four game.

0:02:27.919 --> 0:02:30.840
<v Speaker 4>The pitch rushing hangs back, lifts it in the ore

0:02:30.880 --> 0:02:32.840
<v Speaker 4>to right field. The Dell is on the warning track.

0:02:32.680 --> 0:02:37.560
<v Speaker 5>He's at the wall. Pits gone. Tolten rushing with a.

0:02:37.560 --> 0:02:41.200
<v Speaker 4>Three run homer is a home run of the season,

0:02:41.800 --> 0:02:43.760
<v Speaker 4>makes it six to four.

0:02:45.120 --> 0:02:47.720
<v Speaker 6>And things just got interesting.

0:02:47.919 --> 0:02:48.720
<v Speaker 5>Yes they did.

0:02:48.960 --> 0:02:53.280
<v Speaker 3>Is a six to four Angels lead. Then Ward with

0:02:53.440 --> 0:02:56.480
<v Speaker 3>a solo home run to right center field.

0:02:56.200 --> 0:02:58.320
<v Speaker 5>That made it a one run game.

0:02:58.440 --> 0:03:01.960
<v Speaker 3>On Ward's second home run of the season, Dodgers found

0:03:02.000 --> 0:03:05.480
<v Speaker 3>themselves down six to five, right back in it. It

0:03:05.560 --> 0:03:08.720
<v Speaker 3>was a bullpen gave the rest of the way. However,

0:03:09.000 --> 0:03:12.320
<v Speaker 3>in the seventh the Angels erupted and Joe Adell got

0:03:12.360 --> 0:03:12.960
<v Speaker 3>it started.

0:03:13.440 --> 0:03:14.919
<v Speaker 4>So the kids are just gonna get a kick out

0:03:14.919 --> 0:03:19.079
<v Speaker 4>of it. That's the major point. First pitch to Joe Adell,

0:03:19.360 --> 0:03:23.600
<v Speaker 4>launched the left and halfway up to pavilion. Joe Adell,

0:03:23.760 --> 0:03:28.480
<v Speaker 4>the number six hitter, with a two run bomb off

0:03:28.560 --> 0:03:33.560
<v Speaker 4>Jonathan Hernandez and the Angels get some breathing room right back.

0:03:34.760 --> 0:03:36.280
<v Speaker 5>It's now eight to five.

0:03:38.240 --> 0:03:41.240
<v Speaker 6>This was not a squeaker out of the ballpark.

0:03:42.080 --> 0:03:42.640
<v Speaker 5>Jo Adell.

0:03:42.720 --> 0:03:45.320
<v Speaker 3>The two run home run made it a three run deficit.

0:03:45.400 --> 0:03:49.120
<v Speaker 3>Had just got worse Sebastian Rivero. Then an RBI single

0:03:49.120 --> 0:03:51.200
<v Speaker 3>made it a nine to five Angels lead. Then Zach

0:03:51.280 --> 0:03:54.200
<v Speaker 3>Netto with a three run home run to make it

0:03:54.240 --> 0:03:56.320
<v Speaker 3>a twelve to five Angels lead.

0:03:56.360 --> 0:03:58.040
<v Speaker 5>That Halo scored six.

0:03:57.840 --> 0:04:00.360
<v Speaker 3>Runs in the top half of the seventh and they

0:04:00.440 --> 0:04:03.520
<v Speaker 3>go on and win it big, thirteen to five. Rivero,

0:04:03.640 --> 0:04:06.520
<v Speaker 3>the backup catcher for the Angels, goes five for five

0:04:07.280 --> 0:04:10.920
<v Speaker 3>with six hits in the game. Meanwhile, the Dodgers we

0:04:11.120 --> 0:04:13.640
<v Speaker 3>ended up losing the game despite five runs on eleven

0:04:13.720 --> 0:04:15.920
<v Speaker 3>hits and a couple of home runs from Ward and rushing.

0:04:16.160 --> 0:04:18.479
<v Speaker 3>Dodgers dropped the finale of the three game set, but

0:04:18.600 --> 0:04:21.360
<v Speaker 3>they still win the series, taking two of three at

0:04:21.360 --> 0:04:24.320
<v Speaker 3>the Ravine. After a day off yesterday, Dodgers back at

0:04:24.360 --> 0:04:26.559
<v Speaker 3>it at forty two and twenty four, first place atop

0:04:26.600 --> 0:04:28.920
<v Speaker 3>the division, and now they head to Pittsburgh for a

0:04:28.960 --> 0:04:30.680
<v Speaker 3>three game series against the Pirates.

0:04:31.000 --> 0:04:33.320
<v Speaker 5>Eric Lower and Paul Schemes.

0:04:32.920 --> 0:04:35.359
<v Speaker 3>The pitching matchup in the series opener, first pitch at

0:04:35.360 --> 0:04:37.640
<v Speaker 3>three forty With more we head out to the galloping

0:04:37.680 --> 0:04:40.120
<v Speaker 3>Ford broadcast booth as we welcome in Tim Neverett and

0:04:40.240 --> 0:04:40.880
<v Speaker 3>Rick Monday.

0:04:40.880 --> 0:04:42.520
<v Speaker 5>Guys, Thank you very much.

0:04:42.560 --> 0:04:42.760
<v Speaker 6>Tim.

0:04:42.880 --> 0:04:46.000
<v Speaker 2>A little bit overcast and humid here in Pittsburgh at

0:04:46.040 --> 0:04:49.200
<v Speaker 2>PNC Park on a good night for baseball is the

0:04:49.240 --> 0:04:52.520
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers take on the Pittsburgh Pirates for the first time

0:04:52.560 --> 0:04:55.360
<v Speaker 2>this year. Left hander Eric Lower will make his third

0:04:55.400 --> 0:04:57.640
<v Speaker 2>start with the Dodgers. Dodgers have won each of his

0:04:57.680 --> 0:05:01.919
<v Speaker 2>first two starts. Overall between the Dodgers in Toronto, Lower's

0:05:01.960 --> 0:05:04.040
<v Speaker 2>numbers two and five and a five to seven four

0:05:04.520 --> 0:05:08.640
<v Speaker 2>earn run average. Paul Skins the right hander they're rainning

0:05:08.760 --> 0:05:12.080
<v Speaker 2>Cy Young winner in the National League six and five

0:05:12.160 --> 0:05:14.679
<v Speaker 2>with a two eighty three earn run average. His last

0:05:14.680 --> 0:05:17.160
<v Speaker 2>four starts have not been very good. He's zero in

0:05:17.279 --> 0:05:20.680
<v Speaker 2>three with an ERA of almost five, and he is

0:05:20.720 --> 0:05:23.680
<v Speaker 2>looking to get off the Schneid here tonight, but the

0:05:23.720 --> 0:05:26.080
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers are hoping to give him another loss in the

0:05:26.120 --> 0:05:28.919
<v Speaker 2>first game of this three game set. And mo a

0:05:29.000 --> 0:05:32.039
<v Speaker 2>day off yesterday for the Dodgers important they get the

0:05:32.080 --> 0:05:35.400
<v Speaker 2>rest as they get set for this road trip game

0:05:35.440 --> 0:05:38.200
<v Speaker 2>one tonight in Pittsburgh and then they'll be in Chicago

0:05:38.279 --> 0:05:39.800
<v Speaker 2>against the White Sox over the weekend.

0:05:39.880 --> 0:05:41.520
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, the Dodgers have been a very good team on

0:05:41.600 --> 0:05:44.040
<v Speaker 8>the road. They're twenty and twelve, and if we look

0:05:44.040 --> 0:05:46.600
<v Speaker 8>at their recent record, I mean he's looked back to

0:05:46.760 --> 0:05:49.800
<v Speaker 8>the thirteenth of May. They've won eighteen to the last

0:05:49.839 --> 0:05:52.440
<v Speaker 8>twenty four games, and in that period of time, they

0:05:52.440 --> 0:05:54.719
<v Speaker 8>have scored one hundred and thirty seven runs. Now, what's

0:05:54.760 --> 0:05:57.920
<v Speaker 8>significant about that. Only one team, that being Milwaukee Brewers,

0:05:57.960 --> 0:06:00.960
<v Speaker 8>has scored more runs in that time. But if we

0:06:01.080 --> 0:06:03.800
<v Speaker 8>talk about runs and we talk about teams that don't

0:06:03.800 --> 0:06:06.440
<v Speaker 8>take them for granted, I think the Pittsburgh Pirates are

0:06:06.480 --> 0:06:08.520
<v Speaker 8>that team. Oh, they're in third place in the Central

0:06:08.520 --> 0:06:11.480
<v Speaker 8>Division of the National League. But tim when you look

0:06:11.520 --> 0:06:14.800
<v Speaker 8>at the numbers, they're fifth in hitting, their fourth in runs.

0:06:15.279 --> 0:06:18.200
<v Speaker 8>They would like to improve. In team Era, they're in

0:06:18.240 --> 0:06:20.080
<v Speaker 8>the middle of the pack right there. But I'll say this,

0:06:20.560 --> 0:06:22.320
<v Speaker 8>if you let them get on base, they're going to

0:06:22.360 --> 0:06:25.600
<v Speaker 8>steal bases. They've already stolen sixty five bases.

0:06:26.000 --> 0:06:28.599
<v Speaker 2>They've pirate at sixty five holes as if you will.

0:06:28.640 --> 0:06:30.760
<v Speaker 2>And when you look at this team in the recent

0:06:30.880 --> 0:06:34.720
<v Speaker 2>history with the Dodgers, they give the Dodgers fits. Pittsburgh

0:06:34.720 --> 0:06:37.760
<v Speaker 2>plays the Dodgers tough. They've won a lot of games

0:06:37.800 --> 0:06:39.440
<v Speaker 2>in the last couple of years against.

0:06:39.520 --> 0:06:42.720
<v Speaker 8>La Yeah, the Pirates quite frankly, one of the things

0:06:42.720 --> 0:06:45.720
<v Speaker 8>that they've improved upon they do not beat themselves as

0:06:45.760 --> 0:06:47.400
<v Speaker 8>we saw there for a number of years.

0:06:47.400 --> 0:06:49.360
<v Speaker 6>And the other part too, is they know full.

0:06:49.160 --> 0:06:51.960
<v Speaker 8>Well you've got back to back world champions coming into town.

0:06:52.440 --> 0:06:55.719
<v Speaker 8>They will elevate the competitive juices. There's no ifens and

0:06:55.760 --> 0:06:57.599
<v Speaker 8>butts about it. There's going to be a bigger crowd

0:06:57.600 --> 0:07:00.000
<v Speaker 8>because the Dodgers are in town as well. The Dodgers

0:07:00.160 --> 0:07:02.320
<v Speaker 8>need to take care of business. They start seven and

0:07:02.320 --> 0:07:04.839
<v Speaker 8>a half games in front of both Arizona and San

0:07:04.839 --> 0:07:07.960
<v Speaker 8>Diego in the Western Division, and the Dodgers the only

0:07:08.040 --> 0:07:10.360
<v Speaker 8>team in the West now that has a winning record

0:07:10.440 --> 0:07:11.920
<v Speaker 8>in the last ten games they played.

0:07:11.960 --> 0:07:14.560
<v Speaker 2>And the story of this afternoon Center is around catching.

0:07:14.640 --> 0:07:17.840
<v Speaker 2>Will Smith not in the lineup. Dalton Rushing is again

0:07:17.960 --> 0:07:22.360
<v Speaker 2>and he's batting eight and not sure if Smith is

0:07:22.400 --> 0:07:24.840
<v Speaker 2>going to play at all in this series, still with

0:07:24.880 --> 0:07:28.640
<v Speaker 2>a neck issue. The Dodgers haven't ruled out an il stint,

0:07:28.720 --> 0:07:30.480
<v Speaker 2>but he is still active as of right now.

0:07:30.560 --> 0:07:33.480
<v Speaker 8>Well, you know these are my words, not anybody with

0:07:33.520 --> 0:07:36.560
<v Speaker 8>the Dodgers. This is becoming more and more of a concern,

0:07:36.960 --> 0:07:38.640
<v Speaker 8>at least the way I look at it. If you're

0:07:38.680 --> 0:07:42.080
<v Speaker 8>not planning on maybe even starting in this series, are

0:07:42.120 --> 0:07:44.320
<v Speaker 8>you going to take a chance in running short?

0:07:44.400 --> 0:07:44.560
<v Speaker 1>Now?

0:07:44.640 --> 0:07:46.920
<v Speaker 8>What happens and we keep your fingers crossed it does

0:07:46.960 --> 0:07:50.080
<v Speaker 8>not happen. But for Dalton Rushing, he's doing the catching tonight.

0:07:50.120 --> 0:07:53.160
<v Speaker 8>He will bat eighth. He's been hot as far as

0:07:53.240 --> 0:07:56.080
<v Speaker 8>overall average and the home runs. But if he gets

0:07:56.200 --> 0:07:59.840
<v Speaker 8>nicked up, who's the backup guy? If Will Smith either

0:08:00.240 --> 0:08:02.640
<v Speaker 8>cannot answer the bell or you don't want him back

0:08:02.640 --> 0:08:04.920
<v Speaker 8>there very long at all, the Dodgers have some tough

0:08:04.960 --> 0:08:07.400
<v Speaker 8>decisions and we hope that that Will Smith feels better

0:08:07.600 --> 0:08:08.200
<v Speaker 8>in a hurry.

0:08:08.200 --> 0:08:10.520
<v Speaker 2>Now Dodgers hope that's not an issue this series. But

<v Speaker 4>at third but Oltani's gonna hustle out an indfield hit.

0:09:29.679 --> 0:09:32.480
<v Speaker 4>Excellent effort at third base by magical to get there

0:09:32.559 --> 0:09:33.400
<v Speaker 4>diving toward the.

0:09:33.360 --> 0:09:37.080
<v Speaker 6>Line, but old Tani has his second hit of the day.

0:09:37.360 --> 0:09:37.880
<v Speaker 5>Show Hey.

0:09:37.920 --> 0:09:42.040
<v Speaker 3>Otani goes two for five with the run scored on Sunday,

<v Speaker 3>now hitting three to oh two on the season, four

0:09:45.040 --> 0:09:49.320
<v Speaker 3>seventeen on base percentage. However, the Dodgers lost big to

0:09:49.360 --> 0:09:52.000
<v Speaker 3>the Angels on Sunday at the Ravine, thirteen to five.

0:09:52.679 --> 0:09:56.559
<v Speaker 7>This is Kirston's corner with Kirston Watson.

0:09:56.960 --> 0:09:59.760
<v Speaker 3>Hey Kirson now joins us from Pittsburg before the Dodgers

0:09:59.800 --> 0:10:03.880
<v Speaker 3>and brought to you by Cars Cars for Kids, Dot Org.

0:10:03.880 --> 0:10:06.640
<v Speaker 3>All right, Currison, another day and another game with know

0:10:06.720 --> 0:10:07.360
<v Speaker 3>Will Smith.

0:10:07.880 --> 0:10:09.800
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, this is now three in a row.

0:10:09.880 --> 0:10:11.840
<v Speaker 9>And then of course there was the off day yesterday.

0:10:11.920 --> 0:10:14.000
<v Speaker 9>So for Will Smith, we know that the other day

0:10:14.040 --> 0:10:17.120
<v Speaker 9>when he was scratched. He was dealing with some next stiffness,

0:10:17.120 --> 0:10:19.640
<v Speaker 9>and Dave Roberts had said he thought it had maybe

0:10:19.720 --> 0:10:23.559
<v Speaker 9>come from just how he slept, because it's still bothering him.

0:10:23.640 --> 0:10:26.120
<v Speaker 9>They are now deciding if they want to have some imaging.

0:10:26.240 --> 0:10:28.320
<v Speaker 9>There is the possibility that he could be placed on

0:10:28.360 --> 0:10:30.160
<v Speaker 9>the IL and it would be backdated.

0:10:30.520 --> 0:10:31.280
<v Speaker 1>He was able to.

0:10:31.280 --> 0:10:33.840
<v Speaker 9>Take some swings as well as play catch this afternoon,

0:10:34.160 --> 0:10:36.840
<v Speaker 9>but Dave shared with us that just something still doesn't

0:10:36.840 --> 0:10:39.560
<v Speaker 9>feel right for will Smith. So you know, Dave said,

0:10:39.720 --> 0:10:41.520
<v Speaker 9>for them to put him back in the lineup, they

0:10:41.520 --> 0:10:43.720
<v Speaker 9>want him to have one full day in which he

0:10:43.840 --> 0:10:46.600
<v Speaker 9>feels good. And so, because they're not there just yet,

0:10:47.040 --> 0:10:49.240
<v Speaker 9>the earliest we likely will see him if they don't

0:10:49.240 --> 0:10:51.200
<v Speaker 9>decide to put him on the IL, would then be

0:10:51.240 --> 0:10:54.000
<v Speaker 9>in Game three of this series on Thursday. So then

0:10:54.040 --> 0:10:56.120
<v Speaker 9>they could give him tomorrow to see how he feels,

0:10:56.120 --> 0:10:57.960
<v Speaker 9>give him that full day to decide if he's ready

0:10:57.960 --> 0:10:58.600
<v Speaker 9>to get back there.

0:10:58.880 --> 0:11:01.079
<v Speaker 5>Dalt Russians then a nice job in his absence.

0:11:01.080 --> 0:11:04.480
<v Speaker 3>But today, collectively, Kirston the Dodgers got a tough hole

0:11:04.559 --> 0:11:06.120
<v Speaker 3>here against Paul Schemes.

0:11:06.720 --> 0:11:10.559
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, you know what Paul is, He's a one of

0:11:10.600 --> 0:11:14.079
<v Speaker 9>a kind talent for so many reasons, and even how

0:11:14.160 --> 0:11:16.360
<v Speaker 9>I love what Dave Roberts was saying about him this afternoon,

0:11:16.400 --> 0:11:18.520
<v Speaker 9>because obviously with him being having been a National League

0:11:18.520 --> 0:11:20.360
<v Speaker 9>All Star and due to the success of the Dodgers

0:11:20.400 --> 0:11:23.080
<v Speaker 9>and winning the World Series, that means the Dodgers coaching

0:11:23.080 --> 0:11:25.480
<v Speaker 9>staff has been Dave Roberts has been the manager for

0:11:25.600 --> 0:11:27.520
<v Speaker 9>the National League and the All Star Game, and so

0:11:27.640 --> 0:11:30.240
<v Speaker 9>he's gotten the chance, obviously not too much, but he's

0:11:30.240 --> 0:11:33.160
<v Speaker 9>gotten the chance to spend time with Paul's kens from

0:11:33.200 --> 0:11:35.960
<v Speaker 9>that managerial experience of the All Star Game, and he

0:11:36.000 --> 0:11:38.080
<v Speaker 9>said that what he's learned from him it's not only

0:11:38.280 --> 0:11:41.080
<v Speaker 9>is the stuff. It's high octane, it's you know, he's

0:11:41.160 --> 0:11:44.280
<v Speaker 9>lights out. He has such a massive stature on the mound.

0:11:44.280 --> 0:11:46.920
<v Speaker 9>But he's also the ultimate competitor. And so when you're

0:11:46.960 --> 0:11:49.840
<v Speaker 9>facing a guy like that, obviously you don't want to

0:11:49.920 --> 0:11:52.760
<v Speaker 9>match his energy in the sense one, it is a

0:11:52.800 --> 0:11:54.800
<v Speaker 9>control that he has, but like you don't want to

0:11:54.800 --> 0:11:55.680
<v Speaker 9>match because you don't want to.

0:11:55.640 --> 0:11:57.719
<v Speaker 5>Get out of yourself. But also you're gonna have to.

0:11:57.640 --> 0:12:00.960
<v Speaker 9>Find ways to take advantage of the mistake if there

0:12:01.000 --> 0:12:04.080
<v Speaker 9>are mistakes. So looking at this series. It is going

0:12:04.080 --> 0:12:06.040
<v Speaker 9>to be, I should say, looking at this matchup tonight,

0:12:06.160 --> 0:12:08.000
<v Speaker 9>is going to be a very tall task for the

0:12:08.040 --> 0:12:10.560
<v Speaker 9>Dodgers offense. We've seen how the group is. You know,

0:12:10.559 --> 0:12:12.960
<v Speaker 9>they're taking quality at bats, but there have been games

0:12:13.000 --> 0:12:15.679
<v Speaker 9>where it's their lights out, and then there have been

0:12:15.720 --> 0:12:18.280
<v Speaker 9>other games where it's either one inning they get going,

0:12:18.320 --> 0:12:20.360
<v Speaker 9>maybe two innings, and then it can be a little

0:12:20.400 --> 0:12:24.360
<v Speaker 9>bit quiet. So the hope is to find ways to

0:12:24.400 --> 0:12:27.000
<v Speaker 9>build innings, but everyone has made it clear that that

0:12:27.160 --> 0:12:30.240
<v Speaker 9>is going to be a challenging thing to do, especially

0:12:30.240 --> 0:12:31.000
<v Speaker 9>in this one tonight.

0:12:31.200 --> 0:12:32.000
<v Speaker 5>No doubt about it.

0:12:32.080 --> 0:12:34.320
<v Speaker 3>Dodgers are up for the TASKO, Kirsten. We appreciate it.

0:12:34.360 --> 0:12:35.840

<v Speaker 3>weekend for our own David Vese, he is throwing off

0:13:41.480 --> 0:13:43.520

<v Speaker 3>gets tagged with the loss. He falls to three and

0:14:11.040 --> 0:14:12.440
<v Speaker 3>three and afterwards spoke about it.

0:14:13.200 --> 0:14:17.080
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, just frustrating, definitely, you know, couldn't put guys away,

0:14:18.480 --> 0:14:21.160
<v Speaker 10>not efficient and just yet not good all right.

0:14:21.040 --> 0:14:22.640
<v Speaker 9>When you look at did you find that that was

0:14:22.800 --> 0:14:25.040
<v Speaker 9>stuff on your end? Was it something you were feeling?

0:14:25.200 --> 0:14:26.400
<v Speaker 9>Just what do you think led to it?

0:14:27.160 --> 0:14:30.320
<v Speaker 10>Probably more execution and stuff. Felt felt pretty good early,

0:14:30.400 --> 0:14:33.040
<v Speaker 10>but yeah, just executing, especially with two strikes, just.

0:14:33.360 --> 0:14:33.920
<v Speaker 6>Not very good.

0:14:34.320 --> 0:14:36.560
<v Speaker 9>How frustrating was this one? Just considering you have been

0:14:36.600 --> 0:14:38.920
<v Speaker 9>really trending in the right direction, even your last one,

0:14:38.920 --> 0:14:41.160

<v Speaker 11>Did you pick your Syria?

0:14:49.280 --> 0:14:49.560
<v Speaker 1>I bet?

0:14:49.600 --> 0:14:51.160
<v Speaker 5>And did you start thing the all kind of.

0:14:52.800 --> 0:14:53.280
<v Speaker 11>The Syria?

0:14:53.360 --> 0:14:53.520

<v Speaker 11>obviously dult things that.

0:14:57.120 --> 0:14:57.760
<v Speaker 6>I couldn't tell.

0:14:57.800 --> 0:15:01.360
<v Speaker 10>Honestly, I couldn't see from that far away how much I.

0:15:01.400 --> 0:15:04.600
<v Speaker 5>Thought pot one kind of wear on you as a pitcher.

0:15:05.240 --> 0:15:07.040
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, obviously you know I got the pitch count up.

0:15:07.720 --> 0:15:09.880

0:15:13.240 --> 0:15:16.880
<v Speaker 7>pitches and staying alive for I'm trying to get him.

0:15:19.920 --> 0:15:21.680
<v Speaker 10>make him put the ball in play, which, yeah, he

0:15:29.280 --> 0:15:31.760
<v Speaker 3>giving him two runs on three hits and walking to

0:15:31.920 --> 0:15:35.120
<v Speaker 3>as well through forty nine pitches and only got four

0:15:35.160 --> 0:15:37.840

<v Speaker 11>I accept everybody for who they are.

0:16:35.240 --> 0:16:38.760
<v Speaker 1>This is Dodger insider David Basse.

0:16:38.720 --> 0:16:43.520
<v Speaker 3>All right, DV Freddie Freeman closing in on a career milestone.

0:16:43.960 --> 0:16:45.600
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, only two hits away.

0:16:45.720 --> 0:16:50.560
<v Speaker 12>Tim from career number twenty five hundred in his career

0:16:50.800 --> 0:16:54.120
<v Speaker 12>and there's only been a handful of players since two

0:16:54.160 --> 0:16:58.360
<v Speaker 12>thousand to achieve twenty five hundred hits in their career.

0:16:58.760 --> 0:17:01.920
<v Speaker 12>The fastest to do in the last twenty five years

0:17:02.360 --> 0:17:06.159
<v Speaker 12>is Ichiro Suzuki, who reached twenty five hundred hits in

0:17:06.280 --> 0:17:10.159
<v Speaker 12>eighteen one. Hundred and seventeen games. This will be Freddy

0:17:10.200 --> 0:17:14.600
<v Speaker 12>Freeman's two thousand, two hundred and forty third career game.

0:17:14.960 --> 0:17:17.080
<v Speaker 12>And let's not forget Freddy could have got to the

0:17:17.160 --> 0:17:20.480
<v Speaker 12>s milestone a lot sooner if it wasn't for the

0:17:20.560 --> 0:17:25.360
<v Speaker 12>twenty twenty pandemic season. Obviously, only sixty games. In sixty

0:17:25.440 --> 0:17:29.280
<v Speaker 12>games that year, Freddy Freeman had seventy three hits, So

0:17:29.640 --> 0:17:32.359
<v Speaker 12>around that time of his career, he was getting two

0:17:32.480 --> 0:17:35.480
<v Speaker 12>hundred hits every season, so at least one hundred hits

0:17:35.520 --> 0:17:39.359
<v Speaker 12>shy in that season that was only sixty games where

0:17:39.400 --> 0:17:42.720
<v Speaker 12>he won the National League MVP. But yes, he needs

0:17:42.760 --> 0:17:46.480
<v Speaker 12>two hits tonight to have twenty five hundred hits, which

0:17:46.600 --> 0:17:48.200
<v Speaker 12>is certainly something special.

0:17:48.680 --> 0:17:50.520
<v Speaker 3>Maybe he gets it done tonight, that'd be pretty cool.

<v Speaker 3>Chris Taylor calling in a career David, and he had

0:18:10.560 --> 0:18:11.720
<v Speaker 3>a chance to catch up with him.

0:18:12.040 --> 0:18:14.720
<v Speaker 12>Yeah, he was our guest on Off Day Dodger Talk

0:18:14.840 --> 0:18:18.720
<v Speaker 12>last night. Tim, and he finished his career playing for

0:18:19.119 --> 0:18:22.560
<v Speaker 12>the Angels Triple A team in Salt Lake City, and

0:18:22.760 --> 0:18:27.439
<v Speaker 12>he clarified the so called confusion about whether or not

0:18:27.520 --> 0:18:30.800
<v Speaker 12>he retired, unretired, and then retired again.

0:18:31.400 --> 0:18:33.840
<v Speaker 13>The way it all went down was kind of strange.

0:18:34.680 --> 0:18:40.320
<v Speaker 13>I didn't I wasn't anticipating making it public, and then

0:18:40.960 --> 0:18:46.840
<v Speaker 13>it ended up getting leaked, I guess, and then and

0:18:46.880 --> 0:18:50.560
<v Speaker 13>then people thought I was unretiring and it was like

0:18:50.680 --> 0:18:52.920
<v Speaker 13>kind of embarrassing. So then I was like, okay, now

0:18:52.960 --> 0:18:58.680
<v Speaker 13>I have to say something. But no, it was all fine.

0:18:58.920 --> 0:19:02.639
<v Speaker 13>It was It was cool after I'm made the post

0:19:02.720 --> 0:19:06.439
<v Speaker 13>or after it came out, seeing all the support. I

0:19:06.480 --> 0:19:11.320
<v Speaker 13>got a lot of very nice texts, and yeah, it's

0:19:11.440 --> 0:19:18.119
<v Speaker 13>cool to to see all the love, especially from Dodgers fans.

0:19:18.200 --> 0:19:22.960
<v Speaker 13>Obviously playing almost ten years with them and you know,

0:19:23.160 --> 0:19:26.160
<v Speaker 13>still I still think they're the best fans in baseball.

0:19:26.240 --> 0:19:31.040
<v Speaker 13>And yeah, it's it always feels good to know that

0:19:31.080 --> 0:19:32.000
<v Speaker 13>you were appreciated.

0:19:33.000 --> 0:19:35.960
<v Speaker 12>So no confusion on Chris Taylor's and Tim he was

0:19:36.040 --> 0:19:39.439
<v Speaker 12>retiring after getting hit by a pitch and fracturing his

0:19:39.600 --> 0:19:43.480
<v Speaker 12>left forearm. To hear the full conversation with Chris Taylor

0:19:43.880 --> 0:19:48.160
<v Speaker 12>some official closure closure to his career, you can find

0:19:48.200 --> 0:19:50.119
<v Speaker 12>it on the iHeartRadio app.

0:19:49.880 --> 0:19:50.520
<v Speaker 6>All right, David.

0:19:50.840 --> 0:19:53.440
<v Speaker 3>The pitching matchup today has Eric Lauer making his third

0:19:53.480 --> 0:19:57.640
<v Speaker 3>start as a Dodger against Paul Schemes. Schemes has been

0:19:57.680 --> 0:20:00.520
<v Speaker 3>struggling as of late, but he's still Paul ski.

0:20:00.920 --> 0:20:04.080
<v Speaker 12>Yeah, he's winless in his last four starts. And I

0:20:04.240 --> 0:20:06.680
<v Speaker 12>ran into one of the guys that he works with

0:20:06.800 --> 0:20:09.920
<v Speaker 12>and he said, yes, Skeens needs a win tonight, and

0:20:10.119 --> 0:20:13.040
<v Speaker 12>here's something to try to get the karma going in

0:20:13.119 --> 0:20:16.520
<v Speaker 12>his way. Last night, Paul Skeenes was driving by a

0:20:16.600 --> 0:20:20.800
<v Speaker 12>local Pittsburgh parking reck where they were having little leaguers practice,

0:20:21.240 --> 0:20:24.480
<v Speaker 12>and he parked in the parking lot, called one of

0:20:24.520 --> 0:20:27.960
<v Speaker 12>his managers and said, Hey, do you think it's okay

0:20:28.040 --> 0:20:30.639
<v Speaker 12>if I go out and play catch with these kids?

0:20:30.680 --> 0:20:33.600
<v Speaker 11>And the guy responded and said, yeah, of course. He

0:20:33.680 --> 0:20:35.880
<v Speaker 11>goes out plays catch with these.

0:20:35.920 --> 0:20:39.680
<v Speaker 12>Little leaguers that are practicing for two hours in some

0:20:39.840 --> 0:20:43.479
<v Speaker 12>parking wreck at Pittsburgh. Signs autographs, takes a photo and

0:20:43.520 --> 0:20:46.840
<v Speaker 12>it goes viral, so he's trying to get some good

0:20:46.960 --> 0:20:49.800
<v Speaker 12>karma going his way facing the back to back champs.

0:20:49.920 --> 0:20:53.240
<v Speaker 3>Well, hopefully that karma doesn't start until after tonight's start

0:20:53.240 --> 0:20:55.200
<v Speaker 3>against the Dodger's great Stuff. Dave will check back in

<v Speaker 3>back to twenty seventeen, August twenty third, to be exact,

0:22:22.600 --> 0:22:25.359
<v Speaker 3>a night in which rich Hill was unhittable.

0:22:25.720 --> 0:22:29.320
<v Speaker 8>Marte trying to end it and instaground ball to Hopper

0:22:31.880 --> 0:22:35.840
<v Speaker 8>and we are headed for extra innings. Rich Hill has

0:22:36.000 --> 0:22:38.600
<v Speaker 8>not allowed a hit through nine innings.

0:22:38.920 --> 0:22:42.440
<v Speaker 3>Rich Hill with a no hitter through nine innings. However,

0:22:43.040 --> 0:22:46.520
<v Speaker 3>the game was scoreless and it went to the tenth.

0:22:46.720 --> 0:22:49.080
<v Speaker 3>Dodgers did not score the top of the inning. In

0:22:49.200 --> 0:22:53.359
<v Speaker 3>the bottom of the tenth inning, Josh Harrison a walk

0:22:53.400 --> 0:22:57.160

<v Speaker 14>All right, Tim, the road trip is underwey the first

0:24:00.680 --> 0:24:03.520
<v Speaker 14>of a three game series with the Pirates, and then

0:24:03.560 --> 0:24:06.760
<v Speaker 14>it's onto the South side of Chicago this weekend with

0:24:06.960 --> 0:24:10.480
<v Speaker 14>the White Sox. The Dodgers begin tonight at forty two

0:24:10.560 --> 0:24:14.040
<v Speaker 14>and twenty four first place in the National League West,

0:24:14.160 --> 0:24:17.160
<v Speaker 14>seven and a half in front of Arizona and San Diego,

0:24:17.400 --> 0:24:20.720
<v Speaker 14>and the Padres continue to get lost at sea, while

0:24:20.760 --> 0:24:23.160
<v Speaker 14>the Pirates at thirty four and thirty two, they find

0:24:23.160 --> 0:24:26.480
<v Speaker 14>themselves in third place in the National League Central, eight

0:24:26.600 --> 0:24:29.760
<v Speaker 14>behind first place Milwaukee. And of course the Brewers have

0:24:29.880 --> 0:24:33.840
<v Speaker 14>been hot all year. Well, your since the Dodgers now

0:24:33.960 --> 0:24:36.720
<v Speaker 14>hitting the road, gonna see the Pirates for the first

0:24:36.720 --> 0:24:40.320
<v Speaker 14>time where they're actually pretty good, and so too. Are

0:24:40.400 --> 0:24:42.520
<v Speaker 14>the White Sox interesting road trip ahead?

0:24:42.600 --> 0:24:42.840
<v Speaker 6>Yeah?

0:24:42.920 --> 0:24:45.960
<v Speaker 8>I think so, and do not discount to Pittsburgh Pirates.

0:24:45.960 --> 0:24:49.320
<v Speaker 8>For example, the Dodgers, they have the best team batting average.

0:24:48.960 --> 0:24:51.040
<v Speaker 6>In Major League Baseball. They hit two sixty two.

0:24:51.200 --> 0:24:53.679
<v Speaker 8>Well, the Pirates, that you think about, maybe be in

0:24:53.720 --> 0:24:56.600
<v Speaker 8>the bottom part, you know, their fifth best. They're also

0:24:56.720 --> 0:24:59.000
<v Speaker 8>fourth best in run scores you were alluding to a

0:24:59.160 --> 0:25:02.600
<v Speaker 8>moment ago. What they can improve upon is their earned

0:25:02.640 --> 0:25:04.240
<v Speaker 8>run average. They're right in the middle of the back

0:25:04.280 --> 0:25:08.280
<v Speaker 8>at fifteen. The Dodgers have the best era collectively, starters

0:25:07.960 --> 0:25:11.400
<v Speaker 8>and relievers in Major League Baseball. So for the Pirates,

0:25:11.480 --> 0:25:13.800
<v Speaker 8>I mean, they're looking at a wild card position if

0:25:13.800 --> 0:25:16.880
<v Speaker 8>they can. They're drawing a few more fans this year.

0:25:17.160 --> 0:25:19.120
<v Speaker 8>And this is a pall club. Do not take them

0:25:19.160 --> 0:25:22.280
<v Speaker 8>for granted, especially in their home ballpark. They're three games

0:25:22.280 --> 0:25:24.680
<v Speaker 8>above five hundred here at PNC. But this is a

0:25:24.720 --> 0:25:27.080
<v Speaker 8>pall club that believes in themselves. And as we know,

0:25:27.680 --> 0:25:30.560
<v Speaker 8>you bring a back to back world champion team into town,

0:25:30.880 --> 0:25:34.000
<v Speaker 8>it is going to uplift the competitive balance and that

0:25:34.080 --> 0:25:35.720
<v Speaker 8>other dugout over for the Pirates.

0:25:36.160 --> 0:25:39.479
<v Speaker 14>Last year, the Pirates beat the Dodgers four out of six.

0:25:40.000 --> 0:25:42.320
<v Speaker 14>So Eric lower is going to get the start tonight,

0:25:42.400 --> 0:25:44.760
<v Speaker 14>his third with the Dodgers two and five, a five

0:25:44.840 --> 0:25:48.760
<v Speaker 14>seventy four er. His last start last Tuesday, couple of

0:25:48.760 --> 0:25:52.160
<v Speaker 14>earned runs and four and two thirds, didn't get a decision.

0:25:52.400 --> 0:25:55.960
<v Speaker 14>And then there's Paul Schemes. Schemes six and five a

0:25:56.000 --> 0:25:59.720
<v Speaker 14>three point zho nine er. But the Pirates have lost

0:26:00.000 --> 0:26:02.680
<v Speaker 14>he should his last four starts, and in those four

0:26:02.760 --> 0:26:05.560
<v Speaker 14>starts he's zero and three with an er if nearly five.

0:26:05.760 --> 0:26:08.119
<v Speaker 6>What in the world has happened to Paul Steen?

0:26:08.320 --> 0:26:11.520
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, and our people, Well, first, of all, the fastball

0:26:11.640 --> 0:26:14.639
<v Speaker 8>is there. I mean he averages right at ninety seven

0:26:14.680 --> 0:26:17.320
<v Speaker 8>point eight those ninety eight miles an hours what he

0:26:17.400 --> 0:26:20.040
<v Speaker 8>averages on that end of it. He also uses the

0:26:20.200 --> 0:26:22.760
<v Speaker 8>change up, and the change up has really been a big,

0:26:22.800 --> 0:26:25.239
<v Speaker 8>big pitch. Now people starting to figure out maybe a

0:26:25.320 --> 0:26:28.360
<v Speaker 8>pattern that he is pitching, because when he's a head

0:26:28.359 --> 0:26:31.000
<v Speaker 8>in the count is just a one thirty eight batting

0:26:31.040 --> 0:26:33.600
<v Speaker 8>average against. But when he's behind in the count now

0:26:33.640 --> 0:26:37.040
<v Speaker 8>this year, it's two seventy, and those numbers just don't

0:26:37.080 --> 0:26:39.879
<v Speaker 8>really correspond to what we've seen Paul Skans in the

0:26:39.920 --> 0:26:42.040
<v Speaker 8>early going of his career, not that he's been here

0:26:42.040 --> 0:26:44.119
<v Speaker 8>for a long time, but boys, he ever made an impression.

0:26:44.240 --> 0:26:50.040
<v Speaker 14>He has been intimidating out on the hill. Hasten to

0:26:50.280 --> 0:26:54.720
<v Speaker 14>shut myself up and say he's a young Nolan Ryan.

0:26:55.040 --> 0:26:56.400
<v Speaker 6>He's not a young Nolan Ryan.

0:26:56.440 --> 0:26:59.720
<v Speaker 14>But what he is is a power pitcher who certainly

0:26:59.720 --> 0:27:00.760
<v Speaker 14>has his mark.

0:27:00.920 --> 0:27:02.960
<v Speaker 8>Yeah he is, But if we look at the last

0:27:02.960 --> 0:27:05.800
<v Speaker 8>four starts, he's starting to come down looks human because

0:27:05.800 --> 0:27:08.399
<v Speaker 8>he's zero and three in that particular time as the

0:27:08.640 --> 0:27:12.160
<v Speaker 8>Ras almost five given eleven runs last twenty innings, and

0:27:12.840 --> 0:27:16.159
<v Speaker 8>opposing hitters are hitting two ninety one in the last

0:27:16.200 --> 0:27:19.040
<v Speaker 8>four starts, and hopefully the Dodgers have a plan to

0:27:19.119 --> 0:27:21.600
<v Speaker 8>be able to attack ball Skins, who's had good success

0:27:21.600 --> 0:27:24.280
<v Speaker 8>against the Dodgers and every other team. Quite frankly, he's

0:27:24.280 --> 0:27:25.359
<v Speaker 8>facing his young career.

0:27:25.480 --> 0:27:27.879
<v Speaker 14>So the Dodger pitching has carried the freight to this

0:27:27.960 --> 0:27:32.040
<v Speaker 14>point this year three seventeen RA, which is the lowest

0:27:32.119 --> 0:27:33.360
<v Speaker 14>in Major League Baseball.

0:27:33.440 --> 0:27:34.960
<v Speaker 6>The starter's collective.

0:27:34.600 --> 0:27:39.080
<v Speaker 14>Eras two ninety best in baseball, and the relievers three

0:27:39.280 --> 0:27:43.159
<v Speaker 14>sixty six er, and they've had thirty eight quality starts,

0:27:43.160 --> 0:27:45.880
<v Speaker 14>so the pitching has been right on the mark all year.

0:27:46.160 --> 0:27:49.640
<v Speaker 14>Pirate pitching is okay, middle of the pack of four

0:27:49.640 --> 0:27:52.760
<v Speaker 14>to oh three earn run average. But what they are is,

0:27:52.800 --> 0:27:56.640
<v Speaker 14>as you mentioned now, they're becoming interesting. They're becoming relevant,

0:27:56.680 --> 0:27:58.800
<v Speaker 14>it seems like for the first time in a long time.

0:27:58.880 --> 0:28:02.120
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, and they're also stopping some surges offensively of other

0:28:02.160 --> 0:28:05.080
<v Speaker 8>teams because the batting average against is the eighth lowest

0:28:05.080 --> 0:28:07.880
<v Speaker 8>in baseball to two thirty one. Who has the lowest. Well,

0:28:08.160 --> 0:28:10.600
<v Speaker 8>they've got blue uniforms on at least trend in blue,

0:28:10.680 --> 0:28:14.200
<v Speaker 8>that being the Dodgers, who've allowed opposing batters to hit

0:28:14.359 --> 0:28:16.959
<v Speaker 8>just two toh eight to this particular points, there's I've

0:28:17.000 --> 0:28:19.840
<v Speaker 8>been a whole lot of threat offensively. The Dodgers obviously

0:28:19.920 --> 0:28:22.160
<v Speaker 8>like to continue to rule. They've been good on the road.

0:28:22.160 --> 0:28:25.359
<v Speaker 8>They're twenty and twelve away from the West Coast and

0:28:25.400 --> 0:28:27.800
<v Speaker 8>hopefully they can build upon that on this six game

0:28:27.880 --> 0:28:28.320
<v Speaker 8>road trip.

0:28:28.480 --> 0:28:31.800
<v Speaker 14>Dodgers have a pretty good starter tomorrow. Fellow named shoe

0:28:31.840 --> 0:28:35.600
<v Speaker 14>Hee Otani. Since May twenty ninth is last nine games.

0:28:35.640 --> 0:28:38.120
<v Speaker 14>All he's doing is hitting four to sixty two. He's

0:28:38.200 --> 0:28:41.400
<v Speaker 14>eighteen out of his last thirty nine. And so while

0:28:41.440 --> 0:28:44.040
<v Speaker 14>the Dodgers begin the first of three with the Pirates

0:28:44.120 --> 0:28:47.520
<v Speaker 14>in Pittsburgh, Cincinnati is at San Diego.

0:28:47.640 --> 0:28:48.360
<v Speaker 6>And the thing.

0:28:48.240 --> 0:28:52.680
<v Speaker 14>About the Padres, they have fallen out of bed. Back

0:28:52.720 --> 0:28:55.920
<v Speaker 14>on May eighteenth, they led the division by half a game.

0:28:56.120 --> 0:29:00.800
<v Speaker 14>Since then, they've lost sixteen of their last nineteen. That's them,

0:29:00.920 --> 0:29:03.440
<v Speaker 14>the Dodgers and the Pirates. They're getting ready for the

0:29:03.480 --> 0:29:05.440
<v Speaker 14>first of this three game series coming up.

0:29:05.560 --> 0:29:07.280

<v Speaker 7>from a Dodger player.

0:30:07.000 --> 0:30:08.240

<v Speaker 11>Dave, thanks again for the time.

0:30:21.960 --> 0:30:23.920
<v Speaker 15>It's good to be with you, Dave. We've got a

0:30:23.960 --> 0:30:28.120
<v Speaker 15>family trip here. So we've got Pittsburgh, we've got Chicago,

0:30:29.320 --> 0:30:32.800
<v Speaker 15>the South Side, the White Sox, so it's gonna be

0:30:32.800 --> 0:30:34.480
<v Speaker 15>a good road trip. It's gonna be a lot of fun.

0:30:34.720 --> 0:30:36.720
<v Speaker 15>And yeah, we're playing good baseball.

0:30:36.920 --> 0:30:39.560
<v Speaker 12>You are the guy that sets the tone for the

0:30:39.560 --> 0:30:43.440
<v Speaker 12>family of the Dodgers, and you're gonna be really trying

0:30:43.440 --> 0:30:46.640
<v Speaker 12>to focus on family and your job because you're flying

0:30:46.720 --> 0:30:50.520
<v Speaker 12>back to be part of your daughter's graduation this weekend.

0:30:50.680 --> 0:30:51.440
<v Speaker 6>I am. I am.

0:30:51.520 --> 0:30:54.880
<v Speaker 15>So I've got three games here and then I'll get

0:30:54.920 --> 0:30:58.360
<v Speaker 15>the first two in Chicago, and then I'll fly back

0:30:58.520 --> 0:31:01.720
<v Speaker 15>to my daughter's graduation and on Saturday night, which is

0:31:01.760 --> 0:31:05.400
<v Speaker 15>on Sunday, and she's graduating from Stanford. So I'm really proud.

0:31:05.440 --> 0:31:08.120
<v Speaker 15>And it is weird though, because you never want to

0:31:08.160 --> 0:31:09.760
<v Speaker 15>miss a game, but I think that this is a

0:31:09.840 --> 0:31:10.320
<v Speaker 15>good reason.

0:31:10.520 --> 0:31:13.720
<v Speaker 12>Hey, the Rangers manager Skip Schumacher left the team for

0:31:13.800 --> 0:31:16.320
<v Speaker 12>a day to be at his son's high school graduation.

0:31:16.840 --> 0:31:20.320
<v Speaker 12>What's the balance for you, because obviously you have a

0:31:20.360 --> 0:31:24.960
<v Speaker 12>lot of responsibility, but also your family comes first.

0:31:24.880 --> 0:31:25.040
<v Speaker 1>You know.

0:31:25.280 --> 0:31:27.600
<v Speaker 15>I think the one thing for me is that the

0:31:27.640 --> 0:31:30.600
<v Speaker 15>world has evolved, and many can argue not in a

0:31:30.600 --> 0:31:33.720
<v Speaker 15>good way, in some ways good, some ways bad. But

0:31:33.840 --> 0:31:35.520
<v Speaker 15>I do think in a lot of ways from the

0:31:35.560 --> 0:31:39.520
<v Speaker 15>workplace sense of things, it's more open to kind of

0:31:39.600 --> 0:31:43.800
<v Speaker 15>people spending time with their families and knowing that those

0:31:43.840 --> 0:31:47.400
<v Speaker 15>moments are important, they're fleeting and so you know the

0:31:47.480 --> 0:31:49.520
<v Speaker 15>job is going to get done with or without you.

0:31:49.920 --> 0:31:53.400
<v Speaker 15>And so for me, I encourage my coaches to enjoy,

0:31:53.640 --> 0:31:57.080
<v Speaker 15>you know, graduations, things like that. One of our coaches

0:31:57.080 --> 0:32:01.000
<v Speaker 15>had to leave for a surgery for their daughter, and

0:32:01.040 --> 0:32:04.440
<v Speaker 15>I it certainly welcome that because there's nothing more important

0:32:04.480 --> 0:32:07.240
<v Speaker 15>than family. And it also I think when you get

0:32:07.280 --> 0:32:09.440
<v Speaker 15>to do moments with your family and other things that

0:32:09.480 --> 0:32:11.680
<v Speaker 15>are really important, I think you do your job better

0:32:11.720 --> 0:32:14.040
<v Speaker 15>and then you feel better about the people you work with.

0:32:14.160 --> 0:32:16.960
<v Speaker 11>And for you've done this before with your son, Cole.

0:32:17.360 --> 0:32:20.160
<v Speaker 12>I'm curious when you're at your daughter's graduation, will you

0:32:20.200 --> 0:32:22.040
<v Speaker 12>be looking at your phone a lot? How are you

0:32:22.120 --> 0:32:23.760
<v Speaker 12>able to be present.

0:32:23.440 --> 0:32:24.040
<v Speaker 11>In the moment.

0:32:24.360 --> 0:32:27.840
<v Speaker 15>That's a great question. So I don't know what I

0:32:27.920 --> 0:32:31.280
<v Speaker 15>did for Cole's graduation. But Emmy, it is going to

0:32:31.320 --> 0:32:33.080
<v Speaker 15>be a day game, and I think they are going

0:32:33.120 --> 0:32:36.840
<v Speaker 15>to overlap, so I think I might just try to

0:32:36.880 --> 0:32:39.280
<v Speaker 15>put my phone down be completely present.

0:32:39.560 --> 0:32:42.600
<v Speaker 12>Dave Roberts is our guest in Pittsburgh. The Dodgers will

0:32:42.640 --> 0:32:45.920
<v Speaker 12>have Shoey Otani on the mound again. He's coming off

0:32:45.960 --> 0:32:49.280
<v Speaker 12>a really good start in Arizona, but obviously we started

0:32:49.280 --> 0:32:52.240
<v Speaker 12>to see the blister that he'd been dealing with. Where's

0:32:52.280 --> 0:32:55.320
<v Speaker 12>that at, David, is there any concern possum?

0:32:55.320 --> 0:32:57.600
<v Speaker 15>Our trainer does a good job with the blisters, and

0:32:58.000 --> 0:33:00.760
<v Speaker 15>he's been with the Dodger since I played for the Dodgers,

0:33:00.760 --> 0:33:04.080
<v Speaker 15>and he is a clubhouse favorite, and he says that

0:33:04.160 --> 0:33:07.480
<v Speaker 15>the blister is totally manageable, totally fine. Uh, you know,

0:33:07.640 --> 0:33:11.280
<v Speaker 15>not a big deal at all. So I expect show

0:33:11.320 --> 0:33:12.480
<v Speaker 15>Hay to be good on Wednesday.

0:33:12.640 --> 0:33:15.040
<v Speaker 12>I have random thoughts and with the All Star Game

0:33:15.080 --> 0:33:18.560
<v Speaker 12>and the voting going on right now, Showho Tani most

0:33:18.560 --> 0:33:21.320
<v Speaker 12>certainly will be voted in and maybe the top vote getter.

0:33:21.440 --> 0:33:24.440
<v Speaker 12>But since he is pitching again, I'm curious, with the

0:33:24.480 --> 0:33:27.320
<v Speaker 12>game being in Philadelphia, Sanchez having such a great year,

0:33:27.880 --> 0:33:32.000
<v Speaker 12>would you rule out completely Otani possibly being the starting

0:33:32.000 --> 0:33:34.720
<v Speaker 12>pitcher for the National League or since you're the guy

0:33:34.880 --> 0:33:38.440
<v Speaker 12>and the Dodgers have greater aspirations, that's not something you

0:33:38.440 --> 0:33:39.760
<v Speaker 12>would you would venture into.

0:33:40.160 --> 0:33:40.360
<v Speaker 1>You know.

0:33:40.880 --> 0:33:43.960
<v Speaker 15>Yeah, I don't know how. You know, obviously you're looking

0:33:44.000 --> 0:33:49.320
<v Speaker 15>at you know Sanchez, You're looking at Miz, You're looking

0:33:49.320 --> 0:33:49.680
<v Speaker 15>at Shoe.

0:33:49.800 --> 0:33:50.560
<v Speaker 6>Who's my guy.

0:33:51.480 --> 0:33:53.400
<v Speaker 15>I don't know the schedule for all the guys, but

0:33:53.480 --> 0:33:56.280
<v Speaker 15>obviously I think that I know Show he's done it before,

0:33:57.680 --> 0:34:00.960
<v Speaker 15>you know Sanchez at home? I think, you know, so,

0:34:01.760 --> 0:34:04.240
<v Speaker 15>I haven't made that decision yet, but as we get closer,

0:34:04.760 --> 0:34:07.240
<v Speaker 15>you know, things can change. But as we get closer,

0:34:07.240 --> 0:34:08.600
<v Speaker 15>I'll put more thought into it.

0:34:08.680 --> 0:34:10.440
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, that's the fun side of baseball.

0:34:10.560 --> 0:34:14.120
<v Speaker 12>And you have a few players that maybe aren't number

0:34:14.160 --> 0:34:17.799
<v Speaker 12>one as far as the popularity contest. But how much

0:34:17.840 --> 0:34:19.960
<v Speaker 12>do you believe that Max month Se and Andy pa

0:34:20.040 --> 0:34:21.239
<v Speaker 12>has have earned.

0:34:20.920 --> 0:34:22.879
<v Speaker 11>To start at their respective positions.

0:34:23.440 --> 0:34:25.320
<v Speaker 15>I think they've both earned it. And still we have

0:34:25.400 --> 0:34:27.160
<v Speaker 15>a lot of baseball left for the first half. But

0:34:27.560 --> 0:34:31.000
<v Speaker 15>as we kind of get kick off the fan voting

0:34:31.000 --> 0:34:34.000
<v Speaker 15>for the All Star Game, I really hope that you know,

0:34:34.280 --> 0:34:37.440
<v Speaker 15>Los Angeles Dodger fans and fans all over the country

0:34:38.160 --> 0:34:41.720
<v Speaker 15>pitch in and support Max and Andy specifically because Andy

0:34:41.760 --> 0:34:44.400
<v Speaker 15>lost out last year. Max has been I think a

0:34:44.400 --> 0:34:46.600
<v Speaker 15>few years since he's been an All Star. But they're

0:34:46.600 --> 0:34:50.480
<v Speaker 15>both having tremendous seasons, and you know, we draw more

0:34:50.520 --> 0:34:53.040
<v Speaker 15>than anyone. We have the best fan base than anyone,

0:34:53.160 --> 0:34:55.720
<v Speaker 15>so hopefully that be reflected in the voting for our guys.

0:34:56.000 --> 0:34:58.200
<v Speaker 12>As far as the pitchers go, do you believe that

0:34:58.600 --> 0:35:00.960
<v Speaker 12>it's out of the question or not the question that

0:35:01.160 --> 0:35:03.200
<v Speaker 12>Justin Robleski could earn a spot.

0:35:03.440 --> 0:35:06.640
<v Speaker 15>Well, I think that young Moto should certainly and will

0:35:06.680 --> 0:35:09.759
<v Speaker 15>certainly be in the conversation. And I think Robo, you

0:35:09.880 --> 0:35:13.360
<v Speaker 15>can't argue the numbers and the performance, so if he

0:35:13.440 --> 0:35:15.799
<v Speaker 15>continues to do what he's doing, I hope that he

0:35:15.880 --> 0:35:17.160
<v Speaker 15>certainly gets some consideration.

0:35:17.320 --> 0:35:20.000
<v Speaker 12>It's always great catching up with you, and again another

0:35:20.040 --> 0:35:23.080
<v Speaker 12>great week with you, and congratulations to you, your wife

0:35:23.400 --> 0:35:26.800

<v Speaker 3>As we lead you up to first pitch from Pittsburgh

0:35:55.400 --> 0:35:58.440
<v Speaker 3>Dodgers and the Pirates. Up next, we'll dive deeper in

0:35:58.480 --> 0:36:01.600
<v Speaker 3>this pitching matchup. Don't you go anywhere. I'm Tim Katson

0:36:01.680 --> 0:36:04.800
<v Speaker 3>is the back to back World Series champion Dodgers Audio Network.

0:36:08.560 --> 0:36:13.080
<v Speaker 7>This is Morongo Cassino Dodgers hunting on.

0:36:13.200 --> 0:36:15.120
<v Speaker 1>Your home for La Dodgers.

0:36:15.160 --> 0:36:19.640
<v Speaker 3>Faseball hits the Dodgers and the Pirates as they start

0:36:19.640 --> 0:36:23.000
<v Speaker 3>a three game series from beautiful PMC Park along the

0:36:23.000 --> 0:36:24.680
<v Speaker 3>three Rivers there in Pittsburgh.

0:36:24.719 --> 0:36:27.440
<v Speaker 5>First pitch coming up at three forty.

0:36:26.760 --> 0:36:30.319
<v Speaker 7>And now before the Dodgers hit the Dina, we look

0:36:30.360 --> 0:36:32.200
<v Speaker 7>at the pitching matchups.

0:36:31.760 --> 0:36:36.040
<v Speaker 3>Brought to you by your Toyota dealers. We make it easy, well,

0:36:36.160 --> 0:36:40.440
<v Speaker 3>never easy. Facing Paul Schimes, the pride of Elatorial High School,

0:36:40.680 --> 0:36:43.719
<v Speaker 3>the Air Force Academy LSU, the number one overall pick

0:36:43.760 --> 0:36:45.000
<v Speaker 3>in twenty twenty three draft.

0:36:45.239 --> 0:36:47.560
<v Speaker 5>The twenty four year old right hander is six and.

0:36:47.440 --> 0:36:50.239
<v Speaker 3>Five with a three zho nine ERA in his third

0:36:50.280 --> 0:36:53.160
<v Speaker 3>season now in the big League's got that overpowering fastball

0:36:53.160 --> 0:36:57.319
<v Speaker 3>that averages ninety seven miles per hour, a devastating change up,

0:36:57.400 --> 0:37:01.239
<v Speaker 3>a sweeper, a sinker, a splittery three all. Making his

0:37:01.360 --> 0:37:04.440
<v Speaker 3>fourteenth start this season last time out four and two,

0:37:04.560 --> 0:37:08.239
<v Speaker 3>third innings, three runs, six hits, seven strikeouts, and a

0:37:08.320 --> 0:37:09.080
<v Speaker 3>no decision.

0:37:09.480 --> 0:37:11.480
<v Speaker 5>Paul Skiings has been really good, but over his.

0:37:11.480 --> 0:37:15.560
<v Speaker 3>Last four starts owen three with a four to ninety

0:37:15.640 --> 0:37:18.560
<v Speaker 3>five r. Let's keep him down while he's not pitching well.

0:37:18.640 --> 0:37:20.600
<v Speaker 3>He has three and one with a two seventy ERA

0:37:20.719 --> 0:37:24.520
<v Speaker 3>with thirty three strikeouts. In four career starts against the Dodgers.

0:37:24.560 --> 0:37:27.160
<v Speaker 3>He has pitched a combine twelve and a third scoreless

0:37:27.200 --> 0:37:30.839
<v Speaker 3>innings over his last two starts against La Skiings is

0:37:30.920 --> 0:37:33.239
<v Speaker 3>good to go in the first inning and good to

0:37:33.239 --> 0:37:33.640
<v Speaker 3>get him.

0:37:33.640 --> 0:37:34.880
<v Speaker 5>He's got a season high.

0:37:34.960 --> 0:37:38.560
<v Speaker 3>Six thirty nine ERA with four home runs in the

0:37:38.600 --> 0:37:42.040
<v Speaker 3>first inning. After that, though, the number drops as he

0:37:42.080 --> 0:37:45.680
<v Speaker 3>gets into a rhythm. Eric Lower left hander veteran going

0:37:45.719 --> 0:37:47.719
<v Speaker 3>for the Dodgers two and five overall this year at

0:37:47.719 --> 0:37:48.920
<v Speaker 3>the five to seventy four ERA.

0:37:49.360 --> 0:37:51.080
<v Speaker 5>Thirty one year old left hander has.

0:37:50.960 --> 0:37:53.120
<v Speaker 3>Been in the Big league's part of eight season with

0:37:53.160 --> 0:37:57.200
<v Speaker 3>the Padres, the Brewers, the Blue Jays, now the Dodgers. Fastball, cutter,

0:37:57.480 --> 0:38:00.799
<v Speaker 3>change up, and a curveball. He was one five with

0:38:00.880 --> 0:38:03.799
<v Speaker 3>a six sixty nine ERA in eight games with the

0:38:03.840 --> 0:38:06.640
<v Speaker 3>Toronto Blue Jays this year. This is in comparison to

0:38:06.800 --> 0:38:10.440
<v Speaker 3>last year, where he was really good during the regular season,

0:38:10.480 --> 0:38:13.120
<v Speaker 3>going nine to two with a three to eighteen RA

0:38:13.520 --> 0:38:18.640
<v Speaker 3>and a career best two point two WAR Well, this

0:38:18.760 --> 0:38:21.200
<v Speaker 3>year has not been good for him, so bad that

0:38:21.280 --> 0:38:23.799
<v Speaker 3>he was designated for assignment. The Dodgers acquired him in

0:38:23.840 --> 0:38:26.760
<v Speaker 3>a trade. Now making his third start in a Dodger uniform,

0:38:26.840 --> 0:38:28.480
<v Speaker 3>a one to zero record with a two to fifty

0:38:28.480 --> 0:38:31.520
<v Speaker 3>three ERA, less timeout, four and two third innings, two runs,

0:38:31.520 --> 0:38:34.080
<v Speaker 3>five hits, and no decision against the Diamondbacks in ten

0:38:34.200 --> 0:38:38.000
<v Speaker 3>career games nine starts against the Pirates, Eric Lowers three

0:38:38.040 --> 0:38:42.640
<v Speaker 3>and two with a two sixty one ER. So Eric Lower,

0:38:42.680 --> 0:38:45.680
<v Speaker 3>the veteran left hander going for the Dodgers. Paul Schemes,

0:38:45.719 --> 0:38:48.800
<v Speaker 3>the pride of Eltoral High School, going at for the Pirates,

0:38:49.040 --> 0:38:51.920
<v Speaker 3>we are fifteen minutes away from first pitch. Keys to

0:38:51.960 --> 0:38:54.880

<v Speaker 3>city road trip for the Dodgers.

0:39:18.600 --> 0:39:19.760
<v Speaker 5>Three against the Pirates.

0:39:19.760 --> 0:39:22.359
<v Speaker 3>Then it's off to the South side of Chicago as

0:39:22.360 --> 0:39:25.440
<v Speaker 3>they will have a weekend set against the Chicago White Sox.

0:39:25.800 --> 0:39:27.120
<v Speaker 5>Eric Lower Paul Skens.

0:39:27.160 --> 0:39:30.279
<v Speaker 3>The pitching matchup first pitch in PNC Park is coming

<v Speaker 3>for the start of the game with the Sapporo Start

<v Speaker 3>Great Moments. Start with Sapporo Beer, whatever your taste preference.

<v Speaker 3>Sapporo has you cover with the variety of crisp and

0:39:39.440 --> 0:39:43.520
<v Speaker 3>refreshing Loggers Incleaning light and non alcoholic beers. Sapporo good

0:39:43.560 --> 0:39:48.040
<v Speaker 3>with sushi, Great with baseball. One final time before first pitch,

0:39:48.280 --> 0:39:49.640
<v Speaker 3>we head back out to the booth.

0:39:49.680 --> 0:39:51.680
<v Speaker 5>Two guys on the call, Tim Never, Rick Monday.

0:39:52.400 --> 0:39:55.000
<v Speaker 2>Tim, Thanks again, we're counting you down to the first

0:39:55.040 --> 0:39:57.360
<v Speaker 2>pitch here in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on the banks of the

0:39:57.400 --> 0:40:01.279
<v Speaker 2>Alleghany River as we look out over the Roberto Clemente

0:40:01.440 --> 0:40:04.640
<v Speaker 2>Bridge with a lot of boat traffic on the Allegheny

0:40:04.719 --> 0:40:07.480
<v Speaker 2>right underneath it. As the Dodgers get set to take

0:40:07.520 --> 0:40:09.279
<v Speaker 2>on the Pirates here in game one of a three

0:40:09.280 --> 0:40:12.839
<v Speaker 2>game set. Lefty Eric Lauer will be the seventeenth left

0:40:12.840 --> 0:40:15.919
<v Speaker 2>handed starter against the Pirates this year. They don't see

0:40:15.960 --> 0:40:18.720
<v Speaker 2>lefties all that often, but he's two and five. The

0:40:18.800 --> 0:40:21.279
<v Speaker 2>last two starts he made for the Dodgers have been good.

0:40:21.320 --> 0:40:23.640
<v Speaker 2>The Dodgers have won both of those games, and he

0:40:23.680 --> 0:40:26.560
<v Speaker 2>comes off a two run performance over four and two

0:40:26.640 --> 0:40:28.880
<v Speaker 2>thirds innings against Arizona last Tuesday.

0:40:28.960 --> 0:40:31.799
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, he's been effective in throwing strengths and challenging and

0:40:31.840 --> 0:40:34.080
<v Speaker 8>also he's had a lot of cold strike threes in

0:40:34.120 --> 0:40:34.719
<v Speaker 8>a couple.

0:40:34.520 --> 0:40:36.880
<v Speaker 6>Of starts he's had with the Dodgers. Flip side.

0:40:36.920 --> 0:40:39.759
<v Speaker 8>Dodgers have to figure out Paul Skeens, and hopefully they

0:40:39.760 --> 0:40:41.960
<v Speaker 8>can do it the way it's happened the last four

0:40:42.000 --> 0:40:45.840
<v Speaker 8>starts where Skiens is a zero to three. He's allowed

0:40:45.880 --> 0:40:49.480
<v Speaker 8>eleven earned runs in twenty innings of the last four starts.

0:40:49.520 --> 0:40:51.680
<v Speaker 8>And opposing hitters believe it or not, or he hitting

0:40:51.719 --> 0:40:54.359
<v Speaker 8>two to ninety one against him. Those are numbers you've

0:40:54.360 --> 0:40:56.680
<v Speaker 8>never associated with Paul Skien so far in the early

0:40:56.719 --> 0:40:57.480
<v Speaker 8>part of his career.

0:40:57.640 --> 0:40:59.400
<v Speaker 2>Now in the early part of his career, he's got

0:40:59.440 --> 0:41:02.880
<v Speaker 2>good numbers against the Dodgers. In his prior four starts.

0:41:03.280 --> 0:41:05.719
<v Speaker 2>He only four starts against the Dodgers, He's three and

0:41:05.840 --> 0:41:09.160
<v Speaker 2>one with an ERA of two seventy. So he's had success,

0:41:09.239 --> 0:41:13.280
<v Speaker 2>including a twelve and a third innings pitched scoring streak

0:41:13.400 --> 0:41:16.279
<v Speaker 2>last year against La So we'll see what happens with

0:41:16.320 --> 0:41:19.400
<v Speaker 2>Paul Skeins. Does he get back on track or do

0:41:19.560 --> 0:41:21.680
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers send him to another loss. We'll have to

0:41:21.719 --> 0:41:23.840
<v Speaker 2>find out. Dodgers have won eighteen of the last twenty

0:41:23.920 --> 0:41:26.400
<v Speaker 2>four game one of a six game road trip to

0:41:26.680 --> 0:41:28.960
<v Speaker 2>Pittsburgh and then to Chicago after that.

0:41:29.000 --> 0:41:31.160
<v Speaker 3>Tim all right, Dodgers seven and a half games up

0:41:31.160 --> 0:41:33.560
<v Speaker 3>of both the Diamondbacks and the Padres, both of those

0:41:33.600 --> 0:41:37.080
<v Speaker 3>teams in action. Arizona is in Miami getting ready to

0:41:37.080 --> 0:41:40.320
<v Speaker 3>start a game against the Marlins. Meanwhile, later on tonight

0:41:40.360 --> 0:41:42.799
<v Speaker 3>down at Petco Park in San Diego, it'll be the

0:41:42.800 --> 0:41:48.160
<v Speaker 3>Padres against Eli Deli Cruz and the Cincinnati Reds Dodgers

0:41:48.640 --> 0:41:51.320
<v Speaker 3>pirates Paul Skeins takes the mountain decks.

0:41:51.560 --> 0:41:52.919
<v Speaker 5>When we return, this has.

0:41:52.840 --> 0:41:55.279
<v Speaker 3>Been Moroco Casino Dodgers on deck right here. You're back

0:41:55.280 --> 0:41:57.600
