<v Speaker 1>Immortality. is within their reach incredible and while others make excuses.

0:00:12.380 --> 0:00:14.900
<v Speaker 3>The only reason the dodgers are doing this because they can.

0:00:14.740 --> 0:00:17.739
<v Speaker 1>They print money the dodgers just can't continue it's not

0:00:17.860 --> 0:00:20.680
<v Speaker 1>fair are making plans again.

0:00:20.420 --> 0:00:25.870

<v Speaker 5>wrap up a three game weekend set Dodgers 90 and

0:00:47.270 --> 0:00:50.480
<v Speaker 5>58 on the season. First place atop the NL West,

0:00:50.490 --> 0:00:53.540
<v Speaker 5>the magic number to clinch the division is for the

0:00:53.580 --> 0:00:55.600
<v Speaker 5>Dodgers two and a half games back in Milwaukee for

0:00:55.620 --> 0:00:57.540
<v Speaker 5>the top spot in the national league. They're two and

0:00:57.580 --> 0:01:00.040
<v Speaker 5>a half games up on Atlanta for the second spot

0:01:00.060 --> 0:01:02.420
<v Speaker 5>in in the National League, which means a buy in

0:01:02.440 --> 0:01:05.680
<v Speaker 5>the wildcard round today. Emmitt Sheehan on the mound in

0:01:05.720 --> 0:01:08.990
<v Speaker 5>the series finale. First pitch coming up at 1040. Between

0:01:09.030 --> 0:01:11.190
<v Speaker 5>then and now, we got a lot to get to

0:01:11.270 --> 0:01:13.450
<v Speaker 5>here on Morongo Casino Dodgers on Deck. We're going to

0:01:13.490 --> 0:01:16.510
<v Speaker 5>hear from the manager himself, Dave Roberts. A little explanation

0:01:16.530 --> 0:01:19.750
<v Speaker 5>of why the lineup looks a little different today with

0:01:20.010 --> 0:01:22.630
<v Speaker 5>Josue DePaula getting the start in left field. We'll preview

0:01:22.650 --> 0:01:26.440
<v Speaker 5>this pitching matchup. David Vasse goes one-on-one with Dodger assistant

0:01:26.720 --> 0:01:29.039
<v Speaker 5>Chris Archer. He works in the front office. We got

0:01:29.060 --> 0:01:31.880
<v Speaker 5>your Dodgers magical moment. We'll hear from Charlie Steiner shortly.

0:01:31.900 --> 0:01:34.860
<v Speaker 5>We'll visit with Kirsten Watson from Sportsnet LA and in

0:01:34.900 --> 0:01:37.620
<v Speaker 5>just a few minutes out to the Galpin 4 broadcast

0:01:37.640 --> 0:01:41.220
<v Speaker 5>booth with Tim Neffert and Rick Monday. Well, yesterday in Miami,

0:01:41.580 --> 0:01:44.559
<v Speaker 5>things started off great for the Dodgers, but then Glass

0:01:44.620 --> 0:01:47.280
<v Speaker 5>now couldn't find his control and the Dodgers couldn't complete

0:01:47.319 --> 0:01:49.960
<v Speaker 5>the comeback. Tyler Glass now got the start. He had

0:01:49.980 --> 0:01:52.180
<v Speaker 5>the early lead to work with before he even took

0:01:52.220 --> 0:01:54.820
<v Speaker 5>the mound. Top of the first inning. Mookie Betts got

0:01:54.840 --> 0:01:55.320
<v Speaker 5>it going.

0:01:56.160 --> 0:01:56.910
<v Speaker 2>Just underway.

0:01:56.970 --> 0:02:02.190
<v Speaker 6>Top of the first inning. Phillips steps and fires toward

0:02:02.210 --> 0:02:04.230
<v Speaker 6>the plate. Mookie swings, hits a drive to.

0:02:04.170 --> 0:02:07.290
<v Speaker 1>Left field and deep. This ball heading back toward the wall.

0:02:07.410 --> 0:02:07.990
<v Speaker 2>Gone!

0:02:08.150 --> 0:02:08.910
<v Speaker 1>A home run!

0:02:09.370 --> 0:02:13.890
<v Speaker 6>Mookie Betts home run number 20. Instant offense for the

0:02:13.930 --> 0:02:19.280
<v Speaker 6>Dodgers and they lead it 1-0. Oh, he got a

0:02:19.380 --> 0:02:21.600
<v Speaker 6>splitter that didn't do much. It hung over the middle

0:02:21.620 --> 0:02:25.480
<v Speaker 6>of the plate. And Mookie absolutely hammered it over the

0:02:25.540 --> 0:02:26.440
<v Speaker 6>left field wall.

0:02:27.419 --> 0:02:30.019
<v Speaker 7>It also is a big number for L.A.

0:02:30.080 --> 0:02:30.620
<v Speaker 1>Dodgers.

0:02:31.650 --> 0:02:37.410
<v Speaker 7>That is home run number 10,000. Hit by a Los

0:02:37.530 --> 0:02:39.270
<v Speaker 7>Angeles Dodger hitter.

0:02:40.120 --> 0:02:43.730
<v Speaker 5>Milestone moment for Mookie bets and the Dodgers that gave

0:02:43.770 --> 0:02:46.350
<v Speaker 5>them a one, nothing lead. And then immediately after that,

0:02:46.850 --> 0:02:50.930
<v Speaker 5>Max Muncy with a back-to-back home run, his 28th of

0:02:50.990 --> 0:02:53.950
<v Speaker 5>this season, as the Dodgers had a two, nothing lead

0:02:53.990 --> 0:02:57.010
<v Speaker 5>for Tyler glass. Now who struggled with his command from

0:02:57.030 --> 0:02:59.350
<v Speaker 5>the get-go, he loaded the bases in the first got

0:02:59.430 --> 0:03:01.109
<v Speaker 5>out of it. But in the second, he wasn't so

0:03:01.190 --> 0:03:03.669
<v Speaker 5>fortunate after a walk glass now surrendered a two run

0:03:03.710 --> 0:03:06.160
<v Speaker 5>home run to Graham Pauly tying the game at two.

0:03:06.200 --> 0:03:09.119
<v Speaker 5>The Miami Marlins had strung together a couple of singles.

0:03:09.180 --> 0:03:12.240
<v Speaker 5>The third one from Otto Lopez was Lopez's RBI single,

0:03:12.300 --> 0:03:15.940
<v Speaker 5>giving the Marlins a 3-2 lead. Miami added an important

0:03:15.970 --> 0:03:19.290
<v Speaker 5>insurance run in the fifth. Griffin Conine, Otto Lopez reached

0:03:19.350 --> 0:03:21.690
<v Speaker 5>on walks. Tyler Glass now would exit the game. Jack

0:03:21.710 --> 0:03:24.389
<v Speaker 5>Dreyer came in. RBI ground out. That credited to Glass now.

0:03:24.790 --> 0:03:27.690
<v Speaker 5>and the Marlins had a 4-2 lead. The Dodgers offense,

0:03:28.150 --> 0:03:30.290
<v Speaker 5>after the first inning, it was like a shutdown. They

0:03:30.350 --> 0:03:34.000
<v Speaker 5>struggled for hits. After that explosive first inning, the Dodgers

0:03:34.020 --> 0:03:36.880
<v Speaker 5>were held hitless much of the game until late when

0:03:36.900 --> 0:03:39.860
<v Speaker 5>the Miami bullpen came in and the Dodgers got on

0:03:39.900 --> 0:03:42.120
<v Speaker 5>the board. Well, they made it interesting in the ninth.

0:03:42.140 --> 0:03:44.900
<v Speaker 5>Thanks to Josue DiPaola, drew a walk, would advance to second.

0:03:45.380 --> 0:03:47.180
<v Speaker 5>Two down for Hunter Fiducia.

0:03:48.230 --> 0:03:48.850
<v Speaker 2>Oh, one pitch.

0:03:48.890 --> 0:03:50.670
<v Speaker 1>There's a ground ball through the whole left side.

0:03:50.710 --> 0:03:53.390
<v Speaker 6>A base hit. DePaul is going to round third. He

0:03:53.410 --> 0:03:57.720
<v Speaker 6>will come in to score. An RBI base hit makes

0:03:57.820 --> 0:03:58.820
<v Speaker 6>it a one-run game.

0:03:58.900 --> 0:03:59.090
<v Speaker 1>It's 4-3.

0:04:04.570 --> 0:04:07.020
<v Speaker 6>Hunter Fiducia drives him in.

0:04:07.060 --> 0:04:08.140
<v Speaker 2>17th run batted in.

0:04:08.520 --> 0:04:12.000
<v Speaker 5>Hunter Fiducia with the RBI single. That made it a

0:04:12.020 --> 0:04:15.950
<v Speaker 5>4-3 game. Still two outs, but Peter Fairbanks settled down

0:04:15.990 --> 0:04:17.730
<v Speaker 5>and retired Will Smith on a line drive to end

0:04:17.750 --> 0:04:20.240
<v Speaker 5>the game. Marlins hang on and beat the Dodgers yesterday, 4-3.

0:04:21.089 --> 0:04:23.170
<v Speaker 5>Kate Gibson with the win, Tyler Glass now the loss.

0:04:23.190 --> 0:04:25.400
<v Speaker 5>Dodgers have their eight-game winning streak come to an end.

0:04:25.700 --> 0:04:29.840
<v Speaker 5>They fall to 90-58 overall, still a matter of win,

0:04:29.880 --> 0:04:32.100
<v Speaker 5>not if they clinch the division with the magic number

0:04:32.140 --> 0:04:34.500
<v Speaker 5>down to four. And today the Dodgers look to trim

0:04:34.520 --> 0:04:36.570
<v Speaker 5>that number down as they go for the series win

0:04:36.650 --> 0:04:39.750
<v Speaker 5>in Miami. Emmitt Sheehan on the mound, first pitch at 1040.

0:04:39.750 --> 0:04:41.350
<v Speaker 5>And with more, let's head out to the Galpin Ford

0:04:41.370 --> 0:04:43.870
<v Speaker 5>broadcast booth as we say hello to Tim Deveritt and

0:04:43.910 --> 0:04:44.560
<v Speaker 5>Rick Munday, guys.

0:04:45.330 --> 0:04:46.190
<v Speaker 2>Tim, thanks again.

0:04:46.230 --> 0:04:49.510
<v Speaker 6>Roof is closed one more time here in Miami as

0:04:49.550 --> 0:04:52.100
<v Speaker 6>the Dodgers and Marlins play game.

0:04:51.920 --> 0:04:53.659
<v Speaker 2>Three of this three-game series.

0:04:53.720 --> 0:04:57.120
<v Speaker 6>The Dodgers hoping to come away with a series win

0:04:57.160 --> 0:05:02.380
<v Speaker 6>as today is the rubber game after last night's loss

0:05:02.400 --> 0:05:07.310
<v Speaker 6>4-3 to Miami. And this afternoon, it'll be Emmett Sheehan

0:05:07.350 --> 0:05:11.240
<v Speaker 6>getting the start. The Dodgers were saying... As of yesterday,

0:05:11.279 --> 0:05:13.920
<v Speaker 6>as recently as yesterday, that he would be the bulk

0:05:14.100 --> 0:05:16.180
<v Speaker 6>innings pitcher. Well, he's going to get the bulk of

0:05:16.200 --> 0:05:18.549
<v Speaker 6>them today, but he's going to start, too, for the

0:05:18.730 --> 0:05:19.789
<v Speaker 6>22nd time.

0:05:20.270 --> 0:05:22.169
<v Speaker 2>And Yuri Perez, right-hander.

0:05:22.210 --> 0:05:25.930
<v Speaker 6>Will go for the Marlins. For the Dodgers, a little

0:05:25.950 --> 0:05:29.339
<v Speaker 6>different-looking lineup as Mookie Betts has been put into play.

0:05:30.029 --> 0:05:34.410
<v Speaker 6>The leadoff spot, Tommy Edmund and Teosca Hernandez are not

0:05:34.450 --> 0:05:36.050
<v Speaker 6>going to play three games in a row on the

0:05:36.150 --> 0:05:36.950
<v Speaker 6>AstroTurf here.

0:05:37.450 --> 0:05:40.349
<v Speaker 2>So they're out, and Betts is in, and.

0:05:40.300 --> 0:05:44.420
<v Speaker 6>Josue DePaulo will make his first Major League start defensively

0:05:44.500 --> 0:05:45.540
<v Speaker 6>as he'll start in left field.

0:05:45.680 --> 0:05:47.620
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's going to be interesting to watch DePaulo in

0:05:47.660 --> 0:05:48.279
<v Speaker 2>the outfield.

0:05:48.600 --> 0:05:52.160
<v Speaker 7>He worked with Dino Ebel right before the first game

0:05:52.220 --> 0:05:57.020
<v Speaker 7>here in left field. This carpet, while it is manufactured,

0:05:57.100 --> 0:06:00.760
<v Speaker 7>it's not natural. It does play somewhat close to the

0:06:00.839 --> 0:06:04.480
<v Speaker 7>speed of a regular field. And we're going to find out,

0:06:04.900 --> 0:06:07.850
<v Speaker 7>I think the biggest thing is the sight lines. Neither

0:06:08.430 --> 0:06:10.930
<v Speaker 7>team took batting practice today, so he did not have

0:06:10.950 --> 0:06:13.150
<v Speaker 7>a chance to go out and take some fly balls.

0:06:13.190 --> 0:06:15.330
<v Speaker 7>But it's going to be interesting. The other part about

0:06:15.770 --> 0:06:18.349
<v Speaker 7>DePaulo so far, Tim, you and I have commented about this.

0:06:19.130 --> 0:06:22.070
<v Speaker 7>He has appeared to be very relaxed at home plate.

0:06:22.720 --> 0:06:25.840
<v Speaker 7>His selection of pitches that he has swung at have

0:06:25.880 --> 0:06:28.920
<v Speaker 7>been good pitches, and he has not been in a

0:06:28.960 --> 0:06:30.860
<v Speaker 7>hurry to swing the bat, which a lot of young

0:06:30.900 --> 0:06:34.200
<v Speaker 7>players come up, they feel so intimidated. They swing at everything,

0:06:34.260 --> 0:06:36.080
<v Speaker 7>including the rosin bag he was throwing.

0:06:36.100 --> 0:06:38.789
<v Speaker 6>He's 0-5 in the big leagues, but he has walked

0:06:38.870 --> 0:06:42.210
<v Speaker 6>three times, and those three at-bats have been pretty good.

0:06:42.490 --> 0:06:44.290
<v Speaker 2>And in a stolen.

0:06:43.990 --> 0:06:46.630
<v Speaker 6>Base attempt, he overslit it, was tagged out.

0:06:47.310 --> 0:06:49.040
<v Speaker 2>And we would expect to see him run should he

0:06:49.060 --> 0:06:49.580
<v Speaker 2>get on base.

0:06:49.640 --> 0:06:52.440
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, so the other changes in the lineup, Alex Call

0:06:52.680 --> 0:06:54.100
<v Speaker 7>will be in center field.

0:06:54.420 --> 0:06:56.120
<v Speaker 2>Miguel Rojas will be at second base.

0:06:56.220 --> 0:06:59.310
<v Speaker 7>Alex Freeland will be at third base, as Max Muncy

0:06:59.700 --> 0:07:03.610
<v Speaker 7>will be the designated hitter. Disappointment in yesterday's ballgame, because

0:07:03.650 --> 0:07:06.130
<v Speaker 7>with two outs at the top of the first, back-to-back

0:07:06.170 --> 0:07:09.430
<v Speaker 7>home runs, Mookie Benson, Max Muncy, you figure, well, it's

0:07:09.450 --> 0:07:11.660
<v Speaker 7>going to be a cakewalk. It was anything but that,

0:07:11.760 --> 0:07:14.020
<v Speaker 7>and a one-run loss for this Dodger ball club.

0:07:14.580 --> 0:07:18.350
<v Speaker 6>The Dodgers can clinch a postseason berth today with a win,

0:07:19.010 --> 0:07:21.830
<v Speaker 6>and they would need a loss by either San Diego

0:07:21.990 --> 0:07:23.850
<v Speaker 6>or Arizona, not both today.

0:07:24.570 --> 0:07:26.030
<v Speaker 2>As the season continues to.

0:07:25.990 --> 0:07:30.190
<v Speaker 6>Wind down, game number 149, 13 left to play after today,

0:07:30.690 --> 0:07:32.770
<v Speaker 6>and the magic number to win the National League West

0:07:32.810 --> 0:07:35.890
<v Speaker 6>remains at four due to the fact the Dodgers own

0:07:35.930 --> 0:07:39.490
<v Speaker 6>the tiebreaker over San Diego. A 10-game lead over the

0:07:39.510 --> 0:07:44.690
<v Speaker 6>Padres today, To start action today, 90-58 the record. The Marlins,

0:07:44.690 --> 0:07:45.850
<v Speaker 6>15 back in the.

0:07:45.890 --> 0:07:46.770
<v Speaker 2>East, 73-76.

0:07:46.810 --> 0:07:51.450
<v Speaker 6>And they are 7.5 out of that final wild card spot.

0:07:51.890 --> 0:07:53.590
<v Speaker 6>And at this point in the season, that may as

0:07:53.630 --> 0:07:58.190
<v Speaker 6>well be a mile or 10 for the Marlins out

0:07:58.230 --> 0:07:58.550
<v Speaker 6>of that.

0:07:58.490 --> 0:07:59.710
<v Speaker 2>Wild card situation.

0:08:00.130 --> 0:08:03.100
<v Speaker 6>So the rubber game of this three-game series, Dodgers and Marlins,

0:08:03.130 --> 0:08:04.660
<v Speaker 6>coming up from Lone Depot Park.

0:08:05.480 --> 0:08:06.620
<v Speaker 2>In Miami, Florida.

0:08:06.640 --> 0:08:06.760
<v Speaker 1>Tim?

0:08:07.080 --> 0:08:07.360
<v Speaker 7>All right.

0:09:54.910 --> 0:09:57.550
<v Speaker 5>colleague at Sportsnet LA, it's a big honor for him.

0:09:58.580 --> 0:10:01.040
<v Speaker 8>It sure is. He today, he's going to be inducted

0:10:01.100 --> 0:10:02.890
<v Speaker 8>into the Marlins Hall of Fame, and he's going to

0:10:02.900 --> 0:10:06.050
<v Speaker 8>be the sixth inductee. I just learned that. And he's

0:10:06.090 --> 0:10:08.210
<v Speaker 8>so excited. You know, when it comes to Dontrell, he's

0:10:08.230 --> 0:10:11.060
<v Speaker 8>someone who doesn't like to kind of sing his own

0:10:11.120 --> 0:10:13.770
<v Speaker 8>praises and for him to be able to have this

0:10:13.809 --> 0:10:16.210
<v Speaker 8>moment for us to be forcing him to be talking

0:10:16.270 --> 0:10:18.689
<v Speaker 8>about just when he thinks about his time here and

0:10:18.710 --> 0:10:20.410
<v Speaker 8>you know of course and now being here at lone

0:10:20.450 --> 0:10:23.650
<v Speaker 8>depot park the house that dantrell made and things like

0:10:23.690 --> 0:10:25.850
<v Speaker 8>that it's really exciting for him so he's got his

0:10:25.890 --> 0:10:28.630
<v Speaker 8>whole family here i've gotten to meet his daughters his

0:10:28.690 --> 0:10:31.550
<v Speaker 8>mom is here he's got some really close friends and

0:10:31.970 --> 0:10:34.460
<v Speaker 8>he's gonna be putting on that teal jacket this afternoon

0:10:34.510 --> 0:10:36.840
<v Speaker 8>and he's so funny because he's like we're all like

0:10:36.960 --> 0:10:38.840
<v Speaker 8>oh it's all about you d train and he's like

0:10:39.300 --> 0:10:41.020
<v Speaker 8>We just need a series win from the Dodgers. And

0:10:41.040 --> 0:10:44.720
<v Speaker 8>he keeps diverting and going back to talking about Dodgers baseball.

0:10:44.760 --> 0:10:46.559
<v Speaker 1>And it's like, you know what? That is fair.

0:10:46.600 --> 0:10:50.819
<v Speaker 8>But also, we all get to celebrate you and continue

0:10:50.840 --> 0:10:53.179
<v Speaker 8>to find ways to give him his flowers for what

0:10:53.220 --> 0:10:54.990
<v Speaker 8>he did on the field and what he did to

0:10:55.070 --> 0:10:58.190
<v Speaker 8>not only... you know, win a World Series championship, but

0:10:58.210 --> 0:11:00.489
<v Speaker 8>to bring success to the city of Miami when it

0:11:00.530 --> 0:11:03.250
<v Speaker 8>comes to baseball. So it should be a lot of fun.

0:11:03.270 --> 0:11:05.590
<v Speaker 8>He's going to get his teal jacket this afternoon. Of course,

0:11:05.630 --> 0:11:08.070
<v Speaker 8>he is dressed to the nines and ready to go.

0:11:08.090 --> 0:11:10.770
<v Speaker 8>And he did say that he will not be taking.

0:11:10.550 --> 0:11:12.290
<v Speaker 1>Off the teal jacket for the rest of the day.

0:11:12.330 --> 0:11:14.390
<v Speaker 8>So that's how you know things are getting to be

0:11:14.429 --> 0:11:18.050
<v Speaker 8>a little emotional for him. And I just think it's

0:11:18.070 --> 0:11:20.450
<v Speaker 8>going to be really special. And I'm getting the bobblehead.

0:11:20.910 --> 0:11:22.450
<v Speaker 8>I got to talk to someone to get my hands

0:11:22.550 --> 0:11:24.200
<v Speaker 8>on one. But I'm going to have him sign it.

0:11:24.309 --> 0:11:27.410
<v Speaker 8>because I think this is a big deal, and I

0:11:27.429 --> 0:11:29.270
<v Speaker 8>want to commemorate it, and I want to be the

0:11:29.360 --> 0:11:31.920
<v Speaker 8>one and only to have the signed D-Train bobblehead from

0:11:31.940 --> 0:11:32.420
<v Speaker 8>the Hall of Fame.

0:11:32.880 --> 0:11:33.720
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely.

0:11:34.020 --> 0:11:36.920
<v Speaker 5>I remember when he made his major league debut in 03,

0:11:36.920 --> 0:11:39.740
<v Speaker 5>went to the All-Star game as like a 19-, 20-year-old.

0:11:39.780 --> 0:11:41.179
<v Speaker 5>I'm rolling the elevator with the guy, and I'm like,

0:11:41.400 --> 0:11:44.120
<v Speaker 5>who's this kid at the All-Star game? Now here he

0:11:44.179 --> 0:11:46.600
<v Speaker 5>is going to the Marlins Hall of Fame. There is

0:11:46.640 --> 0:11:48.610
<v Speaker 5>a game, and the Dodgers are trying to get this

0:11:48.670 --> 0:11:50.970
<v Speaker 5>series win, and they're doing so with Emmitt Sheen on

0:11:50.990 --> 0:11:52.790
<v Speaker 5>the mound in a little different looking lineup.

0:11:53.870 --> 0:11:56.130
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, so a couple guys are down today, and it's

0:11:56.150 --> 0:11:58.360
<v Speaker 8>not due to injury or anything. It's more of we

0:11:58.380 --> 0:12:01.120
<v Speaker 8>have to remind ourselves that playing here at Lone Depot Park,

0:12:01.440 --> 0:12:03.500
<v Speaker 8>it is a turf field. And obviously turf can be

0:12:03.520 --> 0:12:05.579
<v Speaker 8>a little bit harder on your knees, your hips, and

0:12:05.600 --> 0:12:09.830
<v Speaker 8>just your body in general. there's officially only two weeks left,

0:12:10.070 --> 0:12:11.569
<v Speaker 8>less than two weeks now, which is kind of crazy

0:12:11.590 --> 0:12:14.690
<v Speaker 8>to think, in the regular season. So it's really about

0:12:14.770 --> 0:12:18.220
<v Speaker 8>finding ways to maintain the health of guys. So that

0:12:18.250 --> 0:12:21.560
<v Speaker 8>means that Teosca Hernandez, who originally Dave Roberts had kind

0:12:21.600 --> 0:12:24.600
<v Speaker 8>of planned for him to play all three. He is

0:12:24.840 --> 0:12:27.760
<v Speaker 8>down today. Tommy Edmond is down today. And that's kind

0:12:27.800 --> 0:12:30.380
<v Speaker 8>of a similar one where Dave Roberts, he spoke with

0:12:30.400 --> 0:12:33.320
<v Speaker 8>the training staff and just decided that, you know, obviously

0:12:33.360 --> 0:12:35.380
<v Speaker 8>they have some natural soreness on the back end of

0:12:35.400 --> 0:12:38.160
<v Speaker 8>the season. And it's not worth kind of pushing it

0:12:38.179 --> 0:12:41.160
<v Speaker 8>a little extra, especially when we're about to have four

0:12:41.280 --> 0:12:44.010
<v Speaker 8>straight in Cincinnati and then they immediately go home to

0:12:44.070 --> 0:12:47.380
<v Speaker 8>have another three before the next off day. just finding

0:12:47.440 --> 0:12:49.640
<v Speaker 8>ways to give guys a break. But that does mean

0:12:49.679 --> 0:12:52.020
<v Speaker 8>that Josue de Paula is going to be playing in

0:12:52.090 --> 0:12:56.130
<v Speaker 8>left field. And when he was activated and made his

0:12:56.170 --> 0:12:58.770
<v Speaker 8>major league debut, there's been so much talk about how

0:12:59.170 --> 0:13:01.950
<v Speaker 8>the bat is there, but how much emphasis and work

0:13:02.010 --> 0:13:06.100
<v Speaker 8>he's really been making on the defensive side. So, you know,

0:13:06.160 --> 0:13:08.300
<v Speaker 8>he's of course working closely with Dino Evil. And while

0:13:08.320 --> 0:13:09.880
<v Speaker 8>it's only been a few days that he's been with

0:13:09.900 --> 0:13:11.980
<v Speaker 8>the big league team, they feel really good about just

0:13:12.020 --> 0:13:15.520
<v Speaker 8>getting some eyes on him in the outfield and Kind

0:13:15.559 --> 0:13:17.790
<v Speaker 8>of giving him this opportunity to play and have a

0:13:17.830 --> 0:13:20.990
<v Speaker 8>little bit of a different type of runway in the

0:13:21.070 --> 0:13:23.990
<v Speaker 8>outfield compared to what we've been seeing, which we know

0:13:24.050 --> 0:13:26.030
<v Speaker 8>is going to be as the DH.

0:13:26.150 --> 0:13:26.510
<v Speaker 2>All right.

0:13:26.530 --> 0:13:29.000
<v Speaker 5>Well, we'll find out the Dodgers and get the series win.

0:13:29.010 --> 0:13:30.839
<v Speaker 5>It's going to be a big one today. Then head

0:13:30.880 --> 0:13:33.199
<v Speaker 5>off to Cincinnati for four. We appreciate it, Kirsten. Still

0:13:33.220 --> 0:13:35.560
<v Speaker 5>to come here on Morongo Casino, Dodgers on deck. David

0:13:35.580 --> 0:13:39.370
<v Speaker 5>Vassey goes one-on-one with Chris Archer, Dodger assistant. But up next,

0:13:39.500 --> 0:13:41.390
<v Speaker 5>we get you an injury report, and we'll hear from

0:13:41.410 --> 0:13:44.190
<v Speaker 5>the manager, Dave Roberts, ahead of this series finale for

0:13:44.210 --> 0:13:46.489
<v Speaker 5>Miami Dodgers and Marlins. I'm Tim Cates. This is the

0:14:09.710 --> 0:14:11.150
<v Speaker 5>This is the L.A. Dodgers.

0:14:14.559 --> 0:14:15.660
<v Speaker 1>Injury Report.

0:14:15.710 --> 0:14:18.530
<v Speaker 5>Presented by UCLA Health, the official medical partner of the

0:14:18.550 --> 0:14:21.730
<v Speaker 5>Los Angeles Dodgers. Good news, Freddie Freeman in the lineup

0:14:21.750 --> 0:14:23.330
<v Speaker 5>for his second straight day, even though he's got the

0:14:23.390 --> 0:14:25.790
<v Speaker 5>sore right knee. Dalton Rushing on the IEL with the

0:14:25.810 --> 0:14:29.130
<v Speaker 5>right elbow discomfort. Shohei Otani on the IEL with the

0:14:29.150 --> 0:14:32.680
<v Speaker 5>bicep inflammation. Eric Lauer on the 60-day IEL. Roki Sasaki

0:14:32.740 --> 0:14:35.000
<v Speaker 5>on the IEL with the blister on his throwing hand.

0:14:35.020 --> 0:14:37.960
<v Speaker 5>But it sounds like he could, he could maybe start

0:14:38.300 --> 0:14:40.120
<v Speaker 5>Wednesday or Thursday in Cincinnati.

0:14:40.160 --> 0:14:40.500
<v Speaker 7>However.

0:14:40.930 --> 0:14:43.470
<v Speaker 5>how that blister is healing. Andy Pai has on the

0:14:43.590 --> 0:14:45.729
<v Speaker 5>IL Edwin Diaz trying to work his way back into

0:14:45.750 --> 0:14:49.410
<v Speaker 5>the Dodgers bullpen. He is rehabbing in AAA Oklahoma City.

0:14:49.470 --> 0:14:51.410
<v Speaker 5>All right, let's head back out to Miami and check

0:14:51.430 --> 0:14:52.290
<v Speaker 5>in with the Dodger skipper.

0:14:52.370 --> 0:14:53.130
<v Speaker 2>Anything else for Dave?

0:14:53.370 --> 0:14:55.110
<v Speaker 1>Dave, do you think.

0:14:55.130 --> 0:14:58.390
<v Speaker 2>Dave, can you just describe... Dave, can you talk about

0:14:58.410 --> 0:14:58.990
<v Speaker 2>the pressure?

0:14:59.890 --> 0:15:03.250
<v Speaker 1>In the Dugout with Dave Roberts. Brought to you by

0:15:03.290 --> 0:15:08.080
<v Speaker 1>Concordia University, Irvine's Masters in Coaching and Athletics Administration.

0:15:08.630 --> 0:15:10.760
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, I thought the last one was really good. I

0:15:10.780 --> 0:15:14.540
<v Speaker 9>thought he did a nice job holding his velocity, competing,

0:15:14.580 --> 0:15:17.240
<v Speaker 9>making pitches. I thought, you know, body of work was great.

0:15:18.520 --> 0:15:20.940
<v Speaker 9>I think for me, it's just seeing more of the same.

0:15:21.000 --> 0:15:24.170
<v Speaker 9>I think that he's on a good little rhythm schedule.

0:15:24.970 --> 0:15:27.610
<v Speaker 9>And we got, you know, our bullpens in a good

0:15:27.670 --> 0:15:30.730
<v Speaker 9>spot behind him. But yeah, I'm looking forward to Emmitt

0:15:30.750 --> 0:15:32.450
<v Speaker 9>making consecutive starts for us.

0:15:32.720 --> 0:15:35.100
<v Speaker 8>The lineup behind him does look a little bit different today.

0:15:35.120 --> 0:15:37.400
<v Speaker 8>I know Teoscar in left, you decided to put Josue

0:15:37.420 --> 0:15:39.620
<v Speaker 8>DiPaola out there. What went to that decision, and what

0:15:39.660 --> 0:15:41.340
<v Speaker 8>do you want to see from Josue playing the field?

0:15:41.820 --> 0:15:45.140
<v Speaker 9>Well, I think for me it's just the potential three

0:15:45.200 --> 0:15:49.120
<v Speaker 9>days on the turf for Teo. I wanted to kind

0:15:49.160 --> 0:15:53.980
<v Speaker 9>of guard against that. And I think for Josue, it's

0:15:54.000 --> 0:15:55.860
<v Speaker 9>just good to get him out there. I think that

0:15:55.900 --> 0:16:00.280
<v Speaker 9>obviously he's got two DH days. And he's played, obviously,

0:16:00.320 --> 0:16:02.100
<v Speaker 9>a lot of the corner outfields.

0:16:02.180 --> 0:16:02.880
<v Speaker 2>He's an outfielder.

0:16:03.440 --> 0:16:06.050
<v Speaker 9>And so I thought, you know, giving Tommy a day,

0:16:06.410 --> 0:16:09.360
<v Speaker 9>which I thought was good for him, being on the

0:16:09.400 --> 0:16:11.560

<v Speaker 4>I accept everybody for who they are.

0:17:32.580 --> 0:17:35.800
<v Speaker 1>This is Dodger Insider, David Bassett.

0:17:35.869 --> 0:17:39.350
<v Speaker 5>All right, Davey, a very special little event happening right

0:17:39.369 --> 0:17:40.350
<v Speaker 5>behind you right now, right?

0:17:41.310 --> 0:17:44.550
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, Dontrell Willis, who made his name in the major

0:17:44.609 --> 0:17:47.629
<v Speaker 4>leagues as a pitcher, a world champion with the Marlins,

0:17:47.810 --> 0:17:51.929
<v Speaker 4>is being inducted into the Marlins Hall of Fame. They

0:17:51.990 --> 0:17:56.480
<v Speaker 4>inducted former Dodger Josh Beckett earlier this week, and since

0:17:56.560 --> 0:18:00.160
<v Speaker 4>Dontrell is on the call with the Dodgers Sportsnet LA,

0:18:00.619 --> 0:18:03.220
<v Speaker 4>they scheduled this for today, and they gave away a

0:18:03.260 --> 0:18:07.399
<v Speaker 4>bobblehead of Dontrell Willis with his signature leg kick and

0:18:07.520 --> 0:18:09.080
<v Speaker 4>the hat tilted to.

0:18:09.000 --> 0:18:09.800
<v Speaker 2>The side, so.

0:18:10.330 --> 0:18:14.409
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, cool for Dontrell Willis. I saw Juan Pierre in

0:18:14.430 --> 0:18:17.470
<v Speaker 4>the clubhouse earlier today. Every time the Dodgers come to

0:18:17.510 --> 0:18:20.470
<v Speaker 4>Miami to play the Marlins, Juan Pierre makes it a

0:18:20.520 --> 0:18:23.280
<v Speaker 4>point one of the days to come into the Dodger clubhouse.

0:18:23.320 --> 0:18:26.240
<v Speaker 4>So it was great to see the guy that originated

0:18:26.340 --> 0:18:28.920
<v Speaker 4>beast mode and had such an impact on guys like

0:18:28.980 --> 0:18:31.620
<v Speaker 4>Matt Kemp and Andre Ethier back in the day.

0:18:32.200 --> 0:18:33.859
<v Speaker 5>David is brought to you by Ford, the official vehicle

0:18:33.880 --> 0:18:35.700
<v Speaker 5>of Major League Baseball. Ford is number one in J.D.

0:18:35.720 --> 0:18:39.090
<v Speaker 5>Power's new vehicle amongst mainstream brands. Two years in a row,

<v Speaker 5>and with the built Ford Tough truck, you get more capability.

0:18:42.530 --> 0:18:46.230
<v Speaker 5>See your award-winning lineup at Southern California Ford dealers today.

0:18:46.609 --> 0:18:50.210
<v Speaker 5>Miguel Rojas in the lineup today, David, in the series finale.

0:18:50.310 --> 0:18:52.170
<v Speaker 5>Is it his final game in Miami?

0:18:53.130 --> 0:18:55.300
<v Speaker 4>I mean, he seems to keep going back and forth

0:18:55.340 --> 0:18:57.540
<v Speaker 4>and leaving the door open that he may return to

0:18:57.600 --> 0:19:01.290
<v Speaker 4>play another season next year, but With the uncertainty of

0:19:01.330 --> 0:19:05.410
<v Speaker 4>the collective bargaining agreement and how long that may last,

0:19:05.790 --> 0:19:08.710
<v Speaker 4>for all intents and purposes, Tim, the reason why Dave

0:19:08.770 --> 0:19:12.000
<v Speaker 4>Roberts is giving Rojas the start today is that it

0:19:12.060 --> 0:19:15.480
<v Speaker 4>very well may be his final game being played here

0:19:15.520 --> 0:19:18.780
<v Speaker 4>in Miami. And, of course, that's where he really matured

0:19:18.820 --> 0:19:21.420
<v Speaker 4>and grew up to be a leader. with the Marlins

0:19:21.500 --> 0:19:24.919
<v Speaker 4>before returning to the Dodgers. So my understanding is the

0:19:24.960 --> 0:19:29.010
<v Speaker 4>Marlins may even play a montage for Rojas at some

0:19:29.070 --> 0:19:30.330
<v Speaker 4>point during the game today.

0:19:30.690 --> 0:19:33.730
<v Speaker 5>Real quick, David, Shohei Otani, any update on how he's

0:19:33.770 --> 0:19:34.970
<v Speaker 5>doing over the last couple days?

0:19:36.150 --> 0:19:38.970
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, Otani is still not swinging a bat, just getting

0:19:39.109 --> 0:19:42.109
<v Speaker 4>treatment on that right side, the right arm, the right neck.

0:19:42.450 --> 0:19:46.050
<v Speaker 4>But Dave Roberts told us earlier today that he expects

0:19:46.150 --> 0:19:47.750
<v Speaker 4>Otani to start swinging.

0:19:47.470 --> 0:19:48.989
<v Speaker 2>A bat by Tuesday.

0:19:49.150 --> 0:19:51.940
<v Speaker 4>So I guess that good news. But as I've said

0:19:52.000 --> 0:19:54.800
<v Speaker 4>on Dodger Talk, Tim, the Dodgers have the NL West

0:19:54.900 --> 0:19:57.230
<v Speaker 4>wrapped up. They have a four game lead on the

0:19:57.270 --> 0:20:00.090
<v Speaker 4>Braves for the number two seed. I don't see any

0:20:00.150 --> 0:20:04.470
<v Speaker 4>reason why Otani should play until game one of the NLDS.

0:20:05.369 --> 0:20:07.040
<v Speaker 5>David, you got your fantasy football lineup set?

0:20:08.260 --> 0:20:08.680
<v Speaker 2>Oh, yeah.

0:20:08.820 --> 0:20:12.469
<v Speaker 4>Malik Neighbors caused me some problems, so I benched him

0:20:12.530 --> 0:20:16.149
<v Speaker 4>for Jamison Williams. And by the way, a lot of

0:20:16.190 --> 0:20:18.720
<v Speaker 4>the players, they have their fantasy league. They are very

0:20:18.780 --> 0:20:23.020
<v Speaker 4>much excited about... And there's some trades going on already

0:20:23.060 --> 0:20:26.040
<v Speaker 4>before the first game is played. So, yeah, fantasy football,

0:20:26.060 --> 0:20:27.060
<v Speaker 4>very top of mind.

0:20:27.300 --> 0:20:27.640
<v Speaker 7>All right.

0:20:27.660 --> 0:20:30.200
<v Speaker 5>The first Sunday of the NFL season kicks off in

0:20:30.240 --> 0:20:32.230
<v Speaker 5>a few minutes. David, we appreciate it. We'll check back

0:20:32.270 --> 0:20:34.010
<v Speaker 5>in with you in a few minutes. Still to come

0:20:34.050 --> 0:20:36.669

<v Speaker 1>for L.A. Dodgers baseball.

0:20:57.290 --> 0:21:01.470
<v Speaker 5>Dodgers and Marlins on this Sunday. Emmitt Sheehan, Yoni Perez.

0:21:01.510 --> 0:21:04.389
<v Speaker 5>The pitching matchup. First pitch from South Florida coming up

0:21:05.030 --> 0:21:06.980
<v Speaker 5>at 1040. Hot dogs here.

0:21:07.140 --> 0:21:10.359
<v Speaker 4>It's not a ball game without a hot dog.

0:21:10.400 --> 0:21:11.500
<v Speaker 2>Who wants a hot dog?

0:21:12.380 --> 0:21:14.820
<v Speaker 1>It's time for the Hoffie magical moment.

0:21:14.840 --> 0:21:15.560
<v Speaker 5>It's magical.

0:21:15.660 --> 0:21:19.070
<v Speaker 1>It was magical. Presented by Hoffie Hot Dogs.

0:21:19.090 --> 0:21:23.450
<v Speaker 5>Well, we go back to July 14th, 1995. The Los

0:21:23.510 --> 0:21:27.169
<v Speaker 5>Angeles Dodgers playing host to then Florida Marlins out at

0:21:27.210 --> 0:21:32.580
<v Speaker 5>Dodgers Stadium. 30,000 in attendance to watch Pedro or his

0:21:32.640 --> 0:21:36.560
<v Speaker 5>brother Ramon Martinez throw a no-no. Ramon Martinez is cool

0:21:36.580 --> 0:21:43.570
<v Speaker 5>as a cucumber. Going back with the fastball inside. And

0:21:45.630 --> 0:21:46.989
<v Speaker 5>it is out into left field.

0:21:47.010 --> 0:21:51.859
<v Speaker 6>Kelly makes the catch.

0:21:53.140 --> 0:21:54.560
<v Speaker 1>And Ramon Martinez.

0:21:54.660 --> 0:21:56.879
<v Speaker 2>A remarkable performance.

0:21:56.900 --> 0:21:58.190
<v Speaker 5>No hitting the Marlins 7-0.

0:21:58.180 --> 0:21:58.510
<v Speaker 1>Thank you.

0:22:02.869 --> 0:22:07.179
<v Speaker 5>Jay Randolph and Gary Carter on the call back in 1995.

0:22:07.170 --> 0:22:11.570
<v Speaker 5>Ramon Martinez threw 114 pitches, had eight strikeouts. He retired

0:22:11.609 --> 0:22:14.910
<v Speaker 5>the first 22 batters he faced before walking Tommy Gregg

0:22:14.930 --> 0:22:17.889
<v Speaker 5>with two outs in the eighth inning, ruining his perfect game.

0:22:17.930 --> 0:22:21.740
<v Speaker 5>But he still goes on to throw the 22nd no-hitter

0:22:21.800 --> 0:22:25.500
<v Speaker 5>in Dodgers franchise history back in 1995 and the only

0:22:25.580 --> 0:22:30.800
<v Speaker 5>no-hitter of Ramon Martinez' 14-year career. MLB career. This Hoffie

0:22:30.840 --> 0:22:33.320
<v Speaker 5>magical moment brought to you by Hoffie Hot Dogs. Hoffie,

0:22:42.820 --> 0:22:44.800
<v Speaker 5>leads up to first pitch on this Sunday morning, Dodgers

0:22:44.840 --> 0:22:46.760
<v Speaker 5>and Marlins. I'm Tim Cates. This is the back-to-back World

0:22:46.780 --> 0:22:48.320
<v Speaker 5>Series Champion, Dodgers Audio Network.

0:22:51.200 --> 0:22:56.010
<v Speaker 1>This is Morongo Casino, Dodgers on Deck. What a home run!

0:22:56.740 --> 0:22:59.310
<v Speaker 1>On your home for the blue all season long.

0:23:00.850 --> 0:23:05.230
<v Speaker 5>Dodgers and Marlins on this Sunday in Michigan. Yuri Perez,

0:23:05.430 --> 0:23:07.810
<v Speaker 5>the pitching matchup. Time now for the Verizon Startup as

0:23:07.830 --> 0:23:10.149
<v Speaker 5>we're 35 minutes away from the start of this game.

0:23:10.170 --> 0:23:12.159
<v Speaker 5>Now Verizon, you can lock in that low price for

0:23:12.200 --> 0:23:15.180
<v Speaker 5>three years so you can save big. Visit your SoCal

0:23:15.200 --> 0:23:18.119
<v Speaker 5>Verizon store today. We welcome in Charlie Steiner.

0:23:19.970 --> 0:23:24.740
<v Speaker 10>All right, Tim, game 149, 14 games, 15 days remain.

0:23:25.180 --> 0:23:29.740
<v Speaker 10>The magic number to win the division is four. But realistically,

0:23:29.780 --> 0:23:33.629
<v Speaker 10>the only race that Dodgers are intimately involved with now

0:23:34.350 --> 0:23:37.650
<v Speaker 10>is for the top three records in the National League.

0:23:38.180 --> 0:23:41.000
<v Speaker 2>The Braves, the Brewers, and the Dodgers.

0:23:41.359 --> 0:23:44.510
<v Speaker 10>The Dodgers trail Milwaukee by two and a half for

0:23:44.550 --> 0:23:47.230
<v Speaker 10>best record. And they're two and a half in front

0:23:47.550 --> 0:23:50.689
<v Speaker 10>of Atlanta. And Atlanta at this point would be the

0:23:50.850 --> 0:23:53.720
<v Speaker 10>odd man out. And they, in fact, would be playing

0:23:54.080 --> 0:23:58.360
<v Speaker 10>the wild card series against somebody. So it's the Dodgers

0:23:58.420 --> 0:24:01.220
<v Speaker 10>and Marlins. The Dodgers for the record ten in front

0:24:01.240 --> 0:24:03.800
<v Speaker 10>of San Diego. 11 and a half.

0:24:03.570 --> 0:24:04.679
<v Speaker 2>In front of Arizona.

0:24:05.330 --> 0:24:08.510
<v Speaker 10>And this afternoon, Emmitt Sheehan is going to go against

0:24:08.630 --> 0:24:12.610
<v Speaker 10>Uri Perez. First, a look back at yesterday. Off to

0:24:12.650 --> 0:24:15.890
<v Speaker 10>a great start with the Dodgers. Suddenly, it's two zip

0:24:15.950 --> 0:24:20.490
<v Speaker 10>in the first. But then they turn real cold, real fast, Bo.

0:24:20.850 --> 0:24:23.470
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, and unfortunately, that happens. So they had their eight-game

0:24:23.510 --> 0:24:26.080
<v Speaker 7>winning streak that was snapped last night. Still not bad,

0:24:26.140 --> 0:24:30.220
<v Speaker 7>winning eight of the last nine games. And I think overall,

0:24:30.260 --> 0:24:31.879
<v Speaker 7>you know, you look at this ball club, it has

0:24:31.960 --> 0:24:34.360
<v Speaker 7>picked up the pace from an offensive standpoint.

0:24:34.380 --> 0:24:35.460
<v Speaker 2>It didn't happen yesterday.

0:24:36.100 --> 0:24:39.020
<v Speaker 7>You thought it was going to explode because the third

0:24:39.080 --> 0:24:41.399
<v Speaker 7>batter in the top of the first inning was Mookie Betts.

0:24:41.980 --> 0:24:43.830
<v Speaker 7>The count was one and two. Then it moved to

0:24:43.880 --> 0:24:46.450
<v Speaker 7>two balls and two strikes. And then Mookie Betts unloaded,

0:24:46.510 --> 0:24:49.570
<v Speaker 7>hit the home run. Rather significant home run as far

0:24:49.609 --> 0:24:52.889
<v Speaker 7>as L.A. Dodger history because that was number 10,000. And

0:24:53.470 --> 0:24:55.909
<v Speaker 7>then not to be outdone, the very next batter, Max Muncy,

0:24:55.950 --> 0:24:59.300
<v Speaker 7>hit number 10,001. You figure, oh, my goodness. Might be

0:24:59.340 --> 0:25:02.720
<v Speaker 7>a cakewalk. Well, instead, it was a soupy sales. Get

0:25:02.760 --> 0:25:05.600
<v Speaker 7>a cake in your face. And for the Dodgers, they

0:25:05.660 --> 0:25:10.400
<v Speaker 7>wind up losing by the score. You get the significance

0:25:10.460 --> 0:25:13.740
<v Speaker 7>in mentioning soupy sales because that was a program we

0:25:13.790 --> 0:25:15.290
<v Speaker 7>used to watch a number of years ago that was

0:25:15.310 --> 0:25:17.850
<v Speaker 7>hit by I don't know how many thousand pies. But

0:25:18.490 --> 0:25:21.010
<v Speaker 7>the Dodgers got hit with one last night as far

0:25:21.050 --> 0:25:21.530
<v Speaker 7>as the loss.

0:25:22.010 --> 0:25:25.150
<v Speaker 10>Once they cleaned the mess off their face, Max Muncy said,

0:25:26.080 --> 0:25:30.020
<v Speaker 10>He's at 478. He's 11 for his last 23. Three

0:25:30.080 --> 0:25:33.560
<v Speaker 10>home runs, five extra base hits during a six-game hitting

0:25:33.600 --> 0:25:37.740
<v Speaker 10>streak in which he is involved. In his last 25 games,

0:25:37.820 --> 0:25:42.060
<v Speaker 10>an OPS of over 1,000. And so Muncie, who was

0:25:42.240 --> 0:25:45.200
<v Speaker 10>in the doldrums for a bit, has turned things around

0:25:45.240 --> 0:25:48.290
<v Speaker 10>the last week or ten days. And Mookie continues to

0:25:48.330 --> 0:25:51.410
<v Speaker 10>hit pretty well. So the veterans down the stretch who've

0:25:51.430 --> 0:25:53.490
<v Speaker 10>been down this road before have.

0:25:53.369 --> 0:25:54.869
<v Speaker 2>Been able to pick up the pace.

0:25:55.010 --> 0:25:57.889
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, Kyle Tucker hitless in four bats last night. The

0:25:57.930 --> 0:26:00.449
<v Speaker 7>night before, obviously, it was red hot, hit the Grand Slam,

0:26:00.530 --> 0:26:04.150
<v Speaker 7>which with bases loaded and screws, hit. 405, just kind

0:26:04.190 --> 0:26:06.470
<v Speaker 7>of matching on that end of it. Three hits and

0:26:06.510 --> 0:26:09.270
<v Speaker 7>a sacrifice fly on Friday night. The other thing that

0:26:09.310 --> 0:26:12.880
<v Speaker 7>we're noticing, Charlie, is that Dave Roberts, yes, we've got

0:26:13.260 --> 0:26:13.980
<v Speaker 7>the opportunity.

0:26:14.020 --> 0:26:14.679
<v Speaker 2>As you mentioned, the.

0:26:14.660 --> 0:26:17.439
<v Speaker 7>Magic number is four now to clinch the Western Division.

0:26:17.740 --> 0:26:20.420
<v Speaker 7>But for Dave Roberts, kind of moving that lineup around,

0:26:20.460 --> 0:26:23.629
<v Speaker 7>the batting order around, And it gets moved around again

0:26:23.650 --> 0:26:26.929
<v Speaker 7>this afternoon, or in the afternoon as far as the

0:26:27.030 --> 0:26:31.650
<v Speaker 7>East Coast, because Josue DePaulo is going to start, not

0:26:31.730 --> 0:26:34.070
<v Speaker 7>only as we've seen him the designated hitter each of

0:26:34.090 --> 0:26:36.910
<v Speaker 7>the last two games, not the DH today. He's going

0:26:36.930 --> 0:26:39.190
<v Speaker 7>to be in left field, so we'll get a chance

0:26:39.230 --> 0:26:41.119
<v Speaker 7>to see him from a defensive standpoint.

0:26:41.359 --> 0:26:42.090
<v Speaker 1>And the other.

0:26:41.930 --> 0:26:44.159
<v Speaker 10>Thing we have seen, again, it's just a couple of

0:26:44.200 --> 0:26:47.900
<v Speaker 10>days in, but we've seen his numbers and seen highlights

0:26:47.980 --> 0:26:49.360
<v Speaker 10>here and there over the season.

0:26:49.900 --> 0:26:50.400
<v Speaker 7>DePaulo.

0:26:51.070 --> 0:26:53.910
<v Speaker 10>As we saw yesterday, he can run with the best

0:26:53.970 --> 0:26:57.790
<v Speaker 10>of them. Certainly he can work in that bat with.

0:26:57.690 --> 0:26:58.379
<v Speaker 1>The best of them.

0:26:59.000 --> 0:27:02.260
<v Speaker 10>He continues to be a very interesting study.

0:27:02.380 --> 0:27:05.159
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, Ben, when you say working in a bat, one

0:27:05.180 --> 0:27:07.400
<v Speaker 7>of the areas that he's really improved upon, talked about

0:27:07.420 --> 0:27:09.199
<v Speaker 7>in each of the first two games that he's played,

0:27:09.240 --> 0:27:12.200
<v Speaker 7>been the designated hitter. From what we see and what

0:27:12.260 --> 0:27:16.140
<v Speaker 7>we see with the numbers, he has narrowed down the

0:27:16.160 --> 0:27:19.649
<v Speaker 7>strike zone, not chasing as many pitches as maybe he

0:27:19.710 --> 0:27:23.990
<v Speaker 7>did last year, and also making better contact. But still,

0:27:24.040 --> 0:27:26.639
<v Speaker 7>all in all, I mean, you talk about a learning curve.

0:27:26.760 --> 0:27:30.180
<v Speaker 7>I mean, he was two years under the average age

0:27:30.240 --> 0:27:33.419
<v Speaker 7>for AA players, and he's only 21, and here he

0:27:33.480 --> 0:27:35.679
<v Speaker 7>is at the big league level. So, yeah, this is

0:27:35.740 --> 0:27:37.230
<v Speaker 7>a big challenge for the youngster.

0:27:37.250 --> 0:27:41.190
<v Speaker 10>He runs real fast but has a real slow heartbeat.

0:27:41.390 --> 0:27:43.929
<v Speaker 7>Well, and you need to have that because he knows

0:27:44.190 --> 0:27:47.510
<v Speaker 7>all eyes are upon him. And, you know, it's a

0:27:47.550 --> 0:27:50.520
<v Speaker 7>quick turnaround. It's leaps and bounds. I mean, going from

0:27:50.619 --> 0:27:53.420
<v Speaker 7>double A to the major league level, that is absolutely

0:27:53.560 --> 0:27:56.740
<v Speaker 7>huge because, you know, you're missing one big step, that

0:27:56.760 --> 0:27:59.780
<v Speaker 7>being triple A, where the consistency of the pitching that

0:27:59.820 --> 0:28:02.260
<v Speaker 7>you see is a little bit better than what you

0:28:02.280 --> 0:28:04.990
<v Speaker 7>see on a daily basis. And in double A, not

0:28:05.010 --> 0:28:08.510
<v Speaker 7>to diminish their ability at that level. but it's more

0:28:08.570 --> 0:28:10.350
<v Speaker 7>refined up here than what he's ever seen.

0:28:10.590 --> 0:28:13.470
<v Speaker 10>So it's going to be Emmett Sheehan going for the Dodgers,

0:28:13.810 --> 0:28:17.510
<v Speaker 10>Uri Perez for the Marlins. The lineups and first pitch

0:28:17.670 --> 0:28:18.159
<v Speaker 10>coming up.

0:28:18.710 --> 0:28:19.090
<v Speaker 1>All right.

<v Speaker 5>It's an engagement of endearment.

0:29:26.010 --> 0:29:27.990
<v Speaker 1>This is high and tight.

0:29:28.570 --> 0:29:31.230
<v Speaker 4>Well, when you're in Florida, you've got to find a

0:29:31.310 --> 0:29:35.140
<v Speaker 4>Florida guy. And we found our guy, a proud guy

0:29:35.180 --> 0:29:38.090
<v Speaker 4>that lives in Tampa, pitched for the Tampa Bay Rays,

0:29:38.150 --> 0:29:42.330
<v Speaker 4>and now has graduated. to being part of Andrew Friedman's

0:29:42.410 --> 0:29:45.320
<v Speaker 4>cabinet in the front office. And that is the one

0:29:45.360 --> 0:29:48.260
<v Speaker 4>and only Chris Archer. Great to see you and great

0:29:48.280 --> 0:29:52.020
<v Speaker 4>to see that smile, that Florida glow out here at

0:29:52.500 --> 0:29:53.440
<v Speaker 4>Marlins Park.

0:29:54.560 --> 0:29:57.170
<v Speaker 3>Oh, Vasay, you're hilarious, but it's always a pleasure to

0:29:57.210 --> 0:29:59.540
<v Speaker 3>be on and It's a pleasure to be a part

0:29:59.560 --> 0:30:00.800
<v Speaker 3>of that cabinet you spoke of.

0:30:01.260 --> 0:30:04.600
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I mean, I love seeing you here on the

0:30:04.680 --> 0:30:08.620
<v Speaker 4>field with the players because they have so much respect

0:30:08.860 --> 0:30:12.950
<v Speaker 4>for you. What does that mean that you've earned that respect?

0:30:13.010 --> 0:30:15.710
<v Speaker 4>It's not been given. You've earned that respect from guys

0:30:15.770 --> 0:30:17.290
<v Speaker 4>that you never even played with.

0:30:18.070 --> 0:30:23.110
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I think as a staffer, people really pay attention

0:30:23.170 --> 0:30:26.870
<v Speaker 3>to how invested you are, how much you pour into it.

0:30:28.370 --> 0:30:31.250
<v Speaker 3>Being able to read a room and not always share input,

0:30:31.310 --> 0:30:35.130
<v Speaker 3>but be prepared when someone asks you for something. I've

0:30:35.150 --> 0:30:39.540
<v Speaker 3>tried to do my best at being available, being around,

0:30:40.020 --> 0:30:42.340
<v Speaker 3>showing that I'm willing to roll up my sleeves and

0:30:42.480 --> 0:30:47.700
<v Speaker 3>put the work in. To have the respect from people

0:30:47.740 --> 0:30:49.110
<v Speaker 3>in this group, it means a lot to me.

0:30:49.510 --> 0:30:52.350
<v Speaker 4>Being a former player, when you're playing, you're only thinking

0:30:52.390 --> 0:30:55.470
<v Speaker 4>about the day-to-day, how you're going to win the next day.

0:30:56.190 --> 0:31:00.950
<v Speaker 4>In this position... being a bigger picture type of organizational piece.

0:31:01.470 --> 0:31:04.090
<v Speaker 4>What have you learned the most about this side of it?

0:31:05.360 --> 0:31:09.500
<v Speaker 3>I think patience is probably one of the biggest things

0:31:09.540 --> 0:31:14.820
<v Speaker 3>that you can possess and the willingness to listen. I

0:31:14.880 --> 0:31:19.130
<v Speaker 3>think when you are a player, you want to see

0:31:19.150 --> 0:31:22.210
<v Speaker 3>things happen fast, especially when you're in the big leagues.

0:31:22.770 --> 0:31:24.270
<v Speaker 3>You have a tough start. You want to make the

0:31:24.470 --> 0:31:28.730
<v Speaker 3>change immediately for the next start. And I feel like

0:31:29.090 --> 0:31:32.850
<v Speaker 3>you also want to express your opinion more frequently. So

0:31:34.110 --> 0:31:37.750
<v Speaker 3>being on the staff now and being in player development,

0:31:37.810 --> 0:31:42.210
<v Speaker 3>seeing guys from the Dominican even to the African Academy,

0:31:42.790 --> 0:31:45.830
<v Speaker 3>we have to build systems that allow us to see

0:31:45.950 --> 0:31:50.830
<v Speaker 3>incremental growth over a long period of time rather than

0:31:50.910 --> 0:31:54.610
<v Speaker 3>the immediate satisfaction of success that we're all looking for

0:31:54.630 --> 0:31:56.050
<v Speaker 3>when we're here at the big league level.

0:31:56.420 --> 0:31:59.560
<v Speaker 4>When you're evaluating players, there's that balance of the eye

0:31:59.620 --> 0:32:03.360
<v Speaker 4>test and the analytics. How do you balance that when

0:32:03.400 --> 0:32:05.180
<v Speaker 4>you're putting your eyes on somebody?

0:32:05.620 --> 0:32:09.110
<v Speaker 3>It's something that I'm still learning. I spend a lot

0:32:09.140 --> 0:32:12.510
<v Speaker 3>of time with our analytic group, whether it be in L.A.

0:32:12.570 --> 0:32:16.330
<v Speaker 3>or Arizona, with the pitching staff, pitching group down there.

0:32:18.050 --> 0:32:20.950
<v Speaker 3>But I think it has to be a healthy blend.

0:32:21.610 --> 0:32:24.100
<v Speaker 3>I don't want to put a percentage on it. But

0:32:24.120 --> 0:32:26.020
<v Speaker 3>it has to be a healthy blend, and it's something

0:32:26.060 --> 0:32:29.400
<v Speaker 3>I've taken a lot of responsibility in learning because it

0:32:29.460 --> 0:32:31.000
<v Speaker 3>is such a big part of the game now.

0:32:31.320 --> 0:32:34.060
<v Speaker 4>Chris, your former manager, Joe Maddon, who was with Andrew

0:32:34.120 --> 0:32:38.680
<v Speaker 4>Friedman in Tampa Bay, said recently that Andrew is one

0:32:38.720 --> 0:32:42.960
<v Speaker 4>of the best scouts, eye-test scouts out there. Have you

0:32:43.080 --> 0:32:45.840
<v Speaker 4>seen that from him as well? Is that something that

0:32:46.220 --> 0:32:48.420
<v Speaker 4>people don't really know about him? They just kind of

0:32:48.480 --> 0:32:52.020
<v Speaker 4>put him in the bucket of looking at the analytics?

0:32:53.010 --> 0:32:56.470
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I think Andrew has spent a lot of time

0:32:56.600 --> 0:33:01.400
<v Speaker 3>watching young players, seeing how their bodies move, checking in

0:33:01.500 --> 0:33:06.300
<v Speaker 3>on their makeup, understanding what works and what doesn't work

0:33:06.360 --> 0:33:10.510
<v Speaker 3>at the highest level. And, yeah, he's a great evaluator.

0:33:10.590 --> 0:33:16.150
<v Speaker 3>I mean, between Tampa and the Dodgers, the player acquisition

0:33:16.190 --> 0:33:18.930
<v Speaker 3>has been elite. So the player development has been elite.

0:33:18.970 --> 0:33:21.410
<v Speaker 3>The player acquisition has been elite. And then winning on

0:33:21.430 --> 0:33:25.590
<v Speaker 3>the margins has been a lead as well. So it's

0:33:25.610 --> 0:33:28.030
<v Speaker 3>been really fun to watch his growth. I've known him

0:33:28.090 --> 0:33:32.470
<v Speaker 3>for 15 or so years now. And again, I'm happy

0:33:32.490 --> 0:33:35.530
<v Speaker 3>to be a part of a group that he's in

0:33:35.590 --> 0:33:36.090
<v Speaker 3>charge of.

0:33:36.310 --> 0:33:40.320
<v Speaker 4>A valued evaluator himself, Chris Archer is our guest, part

0:33:40.340 --> 0:33:44.020
<v Speaker 4>of Andrew Friedman's Baseball Operations Department. You've been in the

0:33:44.060 --> 0:33:47.460
<v Speaker 4>minor leagues a lot. We're looking at Josue DePaula. What

0:33:47.480 --> 0:33:49.460
<v Speaker 4>can you tell us about what you saw from this

0:33:49.520 --> 0:33:53.010
<v Speaker 4>young man at AA Tulsa to give him this opportunity.

0:33:53.550 --> 0:33:57.230
<v Speaker 3>He loves to play the game, and he can really

0:33:57.370 --> 0:34:01.230
<v Speaker 3>slow the game down, especially in the box. And he

0:34:01.280 --> 0:34:04.660
<v Speaker 3>has a great understanding of the strike zone. And he's

0:34:04.720 --> 0:34:07.080
<v Speaker 3>still very young, and he's grown into his body, but

0:34:07.120 --> 0:34:10.339
<v Speaker 3>he's showing a lot of power this year. So it's

0:34:10.380 --> 0:34:12.339
<v Speaker 3>kind of like a perfect blend of what you want

0:34:12.380 --> 0:34:13.700
<v Speaker 3>at the plate for a young hitter.

0:34:14.160 --> 0:34:18.060
<v Speaker 4>Do you believe he understands... that defense does matter i

0:34:18.100 --> 0:34:20.140
<v Speaker 4>know he's the dh but do you feel like this

0:34:20.180 --> 0:34:22.800
<v Speaker 4>year's been a big step forward in that respect.

0:34:22.800 --> 0:34:27.180
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah look like no player is going to be

0:34:27.180 --> 0:34:30.080
<v Speaker 3>20 years old and be a complete package from a

0:34:30.180 --> 0:34:33.109
<v Speaker 3>from a skill set but we do admire how much

0:34:33.260 --> 0:34:35.670
<v Speaker 3>work and energy and effort he's put in to the

0:34:35.710 --> 0:34:38.570
<v Speaker 3>defensive side of the ball so to answer your question

0:34:38.610 --> 0:34:41.710
<v Speaker 3>yes he knows the importance and he's making strides he's

0:34:41.770 --> 0:34:44.410
<v Speaker 3>making those incremental strides on a daily basis.

0:34:44.469 --> 0:34:46.780
<v Speaker 4>And what you saw last night sounds like what you

0:34:46.820 --> 0:34:49.680
<v Speaker 4>were describing. The game didn't get too fast on him,

0:34:49.840 --> 0:34:50.740
<v Speaker 4>even at this level.

0:34:51.239 --> 0:34:54.580
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean, he had great at-bats yesterday. He did

0:34:54.620 --> 0:34:57.810
<v Speaker 3>show his speed. Yeah, he put up a few great at-bats.

0:34:58.070 --> 0:35:00.430
<v Speaker 3>Did they result in a hit? No, not yet, but

0:35:00.450 --> 0:35:03.050
<v Speaker 3>you can kind of see it coming. He stayed inside

0:35:03.070 --> 0:35:05.170
<v Speaker 3>the strike zone with the swings and didn't swing at balls.

0:35:05.330 --> 0:35:07.529
<v Speaker 4>Chris, thanks a lot for the time. Always great to

0:35:07.590 --> 0:35:10.910
<v Speaker 4>see you, especially in the state of Florida where there's

0:35:10.950 --> 0:35:13.469
<v Speaker 4>that special smell in the air and you've got that

0:35:13.570 --> 0:35:16.900
<v Speaker 4>special glow and that great smile that will light up

0:35:17.060 --> 0:35:21.060
<v Speaker 4>from Miami to Orlando. Thanks a lot for the time, and, man,

0:35:21.100 --> 0:35:22.899
<v Speaker 4>the Dodgers are lucky to have you to be part

0:35:22.920 --> 0:35:23.919
<v Speaker 4>of this organization.

0:35:24.280 --> 0:35:27.470
<v Speaker 3>Thank you very much. You're too kind, and it's always

0:35:27.489 --> 0:35:28.319
<v Speaker 3>a pleasure to be on with you.

0:35:28.750 --> 0:35:29.650
<v Speaker 2>I'll show you L.A.

0:35:29.830 --> 0:35:31.750
<v Speaker 4>Next time you're out there during the offseason.

0:35:32.150 --> 0:35:33.950
<v Speaker 3>All right, Agoura Hills, Calabasas area?

0:35:34.090 --> 0:35:34.870
<v Speaker 2>Wherever you want.

0:35:35.190 --> 0:35:35.969
<v Speaker 3>All right, sounds good.

0:35:36.110 --> 0:35:39.450
<v Speaker 4>There's my guy, Chris Archer, part of Andrew Friedman's front office.

0:35:39.710 --> 0:35:41.180
<v Speaker 4>We'll send it back to you in the studio, Tim.

0:35:41.219 --> 0:35:43.509
<v Speaker 5>All right, thanks a lot, DV. Thank you to Chris Archer,

0:35:43.660 --> 0:35:45.799
<v Speaker 5>part of the Dodgers front office and the brain trust

0:35:45.840 --> 0:35:48.320
<v Speaker 5>that is there leading you up to first pitch. Dodgers

0:35:48.739 --> 0:35:52.080
<v Speaker 5>and Marlins from Miami, one final time. Up next, we'll

0:35:52.100 --> 0:35:55.300
<v Speaker 5>dive deeper into this pitching matchup. Don't you go anywhere.

0:35:55.880 --> 0:35:58.220
<v Speaker 5>I'm Tim Cates. This is the back-to-back World Series champion Dodgers.

0:35:59.040 --> 0:35:59.460
<v Speaker 5>Audio Network.

0:36:02.260 --> 0:36:08.359
<v Speaker 1>This is Morongo Casino. Dodgers on deck. On your home

0:36:08.440 --> 0:36:10.380
<v Speaker 1>for the blue all season long.

0:36:11.460 --> 0:36:15.100
<v Speaker 5>It's the Dodgers and the Marlins from South Florida. One

0:36:15.140 --> 0:36:18.930
<v Speaker 5>final time, D'Andre Willis, part of the Sportsnet LA broadcast team,

0:36:18.989 --> 0:36:21.930
<v Speaker 5>former Marlin All-Star Rookie of the Year, being inducted into

0:36:21.950 --> 0:36:24.950
<v Speaker 5>the Marlins Hall of Fame as we speak. The ceremony

0:36:25.090 --> 0:36:27.770
<v Speaker 5>just now wrapping up as he waves and says goodbye.

0:36:28.150 --> 0:36:32.670
<v Speaker 5>So congratulations to the D-Train. First pitch coming up at 1040.

0:36:32.670 --> 0:36:36.189
<v Speaker 1>And now, before the Dodgers hit the diamond, we look

0:36:36.230 --> 0:36:37.550
<v Speaker 1>at the pitching matchup.

0:36:37.610 --> 0:36:41.049
<v Speaker 5>Brought to you by your Toyota dealers. We make it easy.

0:36:41.070 --> 0:36:46.759
<v Speaker 5>Iori Perez on the mound for the Marlins. 7-11 with a.

0:36:46.330 --> 0:36:49.730
<v Speaker 5>394 ERA. 23-year-old right-hander of the Dominican Republic. He's a

0:36:49.790 --> 0:36:54.180
<v Speaker 5>big dude. 6'8, 220 pounds. He made his major league

0:36:54.260 --> 0:36:57.400
<v Speaker 5>debut in 2023, missed all of 2024 Tommy John surgery,

0:36:57.460 --> 0:37:00.280
<v Speaker 5>came back last year, made 20 starts, making his 27th

0:37:00.320 --> 0:37:03.719
<v Speaker 5>start this season. In 13 starts since his stint on

0:37:03.739 --> 0:37:08.160
<v Speaker 5>the IL on June 24th, he's 4-4 with a. 297

0:37:08.160 --> 0:37:12.630
<v Speaker 5>ERA and 73 strikeouts. He's also limited opponents during this stretch.

0:37:13.120 --> 0:37:16.860
<v Speaker 5>to a 195 batting average while making five straight quality

0:37:16.900 --> 0:37:20.440
<v Speaker 5>starts in the month of July. Last time out, Iori Perez,

0:37:20.719 --> 0:37:23.360
<v Speaker 5>four innings, five runs, seven hits, five strikeouts, and a

0:37:23.400 --> 0:37:26.200
<v Speaker 5>loss to the New York Mets. In his lone start

0:37:26.239 --> 0:37:29.819
<v Speaker 5>against the Dodgers during his rookie year in 2023, he

0:37:29.920 --> 0:37:33.360
<v Speaker 5>faced just two over the minimum, six scoreless innings of work,

0:37:33.390 --> 0:37:36.630
<v Speaker 5>surrounding just two hits while striking out 10. It was

0:37:36.670 --> 0:37:39.710
<v Speaker 5>part of a Dodgers 3-1 win. out at Dodger Stadium.

0:37:39.989 --> 0:37:42.969
<v Speaker 5>Emmitt Sheehan on the mound for the Dodgers. 5-8 with

0:37:43.050 --> 0:37:48.140
<v Speaker 5>a 5-0-8 ERA. 26-year-old right-hander in his fourth season now

0:37:48.160 --> 0:37:50.140
<v Speaker 5>in the big leagues and finally been healthy all of

0:37:50.200 --> 0:37:53.430
<v Speaker 5>this season. But he's had an up-and-down year, literally up-and-down

0:37:53.469 --> 0:37:56.350
<v Speaker 5>from AAA, up-and-down as far as results are concerned, making

0:37:56.370 --> 0:37:59.790
<v Speaker 5>his 22nd start this season, his second since coming back

0:37:59.810 --> 0:38:03.180
<v Speaker 5>from AAA Oklahoma City, where he made four starts, was

0:38:03.340 --> 0:38:07.320
<v Speaker 5>really good, was named the PCL Pitcher of the Month.

0:38:07.400 --> 0:38:10.260
<v Speaker 5>The Dodgers recalled him last time out, 5-2, third innings,

0:38:10.800 --> 0:38:13.810
<v Speaker 5>one run, three hits, 10 strikeouts. in a win over

0:38:13.850 --> 0:38:15.830
<v Speaker 5>the Cincinnati Reds. He gave up an early run, but

0:38:15.850 --> 0:38:18.339
<v Speaker 5>then settled in and pitched really good. Emmitt Sheehan has

0:38:18.430 --> 0:38:20.880
<v Speaker 5>never faced the Marlins in his Major League career. A

0:38:20.920 --> 0:38:24.419
<v Speaker 5>victory today would match his career high in wins with

0:38:24.540 --> 0:38:27.680
<v Speaker 5>six and also get the Dodgers' magic number down, which

0:38:27.760 --> 0:38:30.279
<v Speaker 5>is Curley at four. They clinched the division for the

0:38:30.320 --> 0:38:37.180
<v Speaker 5>13th time in the last 14 seasons. Emmitt Sheehan, Iori Perez, Dodgers-Marlins.

0:38:37.239 --> 0:38:40.660
<v Speaker 5>We are 15 minutes away from first pitch today. Keys

0:38:40.680 --> 0:38:43.830
<v Speaker 5>to the game with Tim and Rick are coming up next.

0:38:43.870 --> 0:38:45.890
<v Speaker 5>Don't you go anywhere. I'm Tim Cates, and this is

0:38:45.910 --> 0:38:49.049
<v Speaker 5>the back-to-back World Series champion Dodgers Audio Network.

0:38:51.550 --> 0:38:59.140
<v Speaker 1>This is Morongo Casino. Dodgers on tape. On your home

0:38:59.219 --> 0:39:01.160
<v Speaker 1>for L.A. Dodgers baseball.

0:39:02.340 --> 0:39:06.489
<v Speaker 5>It's the Dodgers and the Miami Marlins. From South Florida,

0:39:06.570 --> 0:39:10.770
<v Speaker 5>Emmett Sheehan, Iori Perez, the pitching matchup. After the game,

0:39:10.810 --> 0:39:12.710
<v Speaker 5>the Dodgers will get on a plane and head to

0:39:12.750 --> 0:39:16.270
<v Speaker 5>Cincinnati for a four-game series against the Reds who they

0:39:16.290 --> 0:39:18.830
<v Speaker 5>just swept last week out of Uniqlo Field at Dodger Stadium.

0:39:18.850 --> 0:39:19.910
<v Speaker 5>As we get you ready for the start of the

0:39:19.950 --> 0:39:22.810
<v Speaker 5>game with the Sapporo Starts. Great moment to start with

0:39:22.830 --> 0:39:26.170
<v Speaker 5>Sapporo beer. Whatever your taste preference, Sapporo has you covered

0:39:26.190 --> 0:39:28.770
<v Speaker 5>with a variety of crisp and refreshing lagers, including light

0:39:28.810 --> 0:39:33.620
<v Speaker 5>and non-alcoholic beers. Sapporo, good with sushi, great with baseball.

0:39:33.640 --> 0:39:35.379
<v Speaker 5>Let's head back out to the booth one final time

0:39:35.400 --> 0:39:38.300
<v Speaker 5>before first pitch. Rick Munday, Tim Never, guys.

0:39:39.140 --> 0:39:40.100
<v Speaker 2>Tim, thanks again.

0:39:40.140 --> 0:39:43.120
<v Speaker 6>We're counting you down to the first pitch on this

0:39:43.219 --> 0:39:47.320
<v Speaker 6>Sunday afternoon, Sunday morning, West Coast time, as the Dodgers

0:39:47.340 --> 0:39:50.430
<v Speaker 6>and Marlins will wrap up this three-game set Emmitt Sheehan

0:39:50.450 --> 0:39:53.330
<v Speaker 6>will get the start. He'll make his 22nd start of

0:39:53.370 --> 0:39:56.250
<v Speaker 6>the season. And his last start against Cincinnati was a

0:39:56.290 --> 0:39:59.990
<v Speaker 6>good one back on the 7th of September. He allowed

0:40:00.130 --> 0:40:03.800
<v Speaker 6>one earned run, three hits, through five and two-thirds innings,

0:40:04.000 --> 0:40:07.820
<v Speaker 6>and struck out ten. So Sheehan's looking for another performance

0:40:07.860 --> 0:40:09.380
<v Speaker 6>like that here today against the Fish.

0:40:09.480 --> 0:40:11.779
<v Speaker 7>He had a good fastball and also moved in the

0:40:11.800 --> 0:40:13.940
<v Speaker 7>breaking stuff. This is some big guys on the mound.

0:40:14.020 --> 0:40:18.640
<v Speaker 7>Sheehan 6'5, and for Yurik Perez, going for the Marlins, 6'8, right-hander,

0:40:19.930 --> 0:40:23.950
<v Speaker 7>Here's one thing about Perez. Now, the Dodgers are not really, quote-unquote,

0:40:24.050 --> 0:40:26.610
<v Speaker 7>a running team. Not a lot of stolen bases. However,

0:40:26.650 --> 0:40:28.830
<v Speaker 7>they may even send the Bat-Boys today.

0:40:28.910 --> 0:40:29.149
<v Speaker 1>Why?

0:40:29.570 --> 0:40:34.610
<v Speaker 7>Perez has given up 29 stolen bases. Only six runners

0:40:34.660 --> 0:40:36.920
<v Speaker 7>have been thrown out trying to steal against him. But

0:40:36.960 --> 0:40:38.980
<v Speaker 7>the big deal is, need to get on base to

0:40:39.000 --> 0:40:39.400
<v Speaker 7>begin with.

0:40:39.719 --> 0:40:42.040
<v Speaker 6>For Perez, he hasn't had a lot of run support.

0:40:42.080 --> 0:40:45.299
<v Speaker 6>He's got the 11th worst run support average in the

0:40:45.340 --> 0:40:48.080
<v Speaker 6>National League, only getting a little over four runs a

0:40:48.120 --> 0:40:51.570
<v Speaker 6>game for him. So, Emmett Sheehan's job, keep the runs down,

0:40:51.930 --> 0:40:54.770
<v Speaker 6>keep the runners off base for Miami, and we'll see

0:40:54.870 --> 0:40:56.440
<v Speaker 6>where the chips fall at the end of the day

0:40:56.480 --> 0:40:59.549
<v Speaker 6>before the Dodgers get on the plane and head to

0:40:59.650 --> 0:41:02.580
<v Speaker 6>Cincinnati to begin a four-game series with the Reds tomorrow.

0:41:02.600 --> 0:41:05.460
<v Speaker 6>But business to conduct here and a series to win

0:41:05.540 --> 0:41:08.420
<v Speaker 6>as the Dodgers take on the Marlins in game three

0:41:08.440 --> 0:41:09.460
<v Speaker 6>of this three-game set.

0:41:09.960 --> 0:41:10.379
<v Speaker 1>All right.

0:41:10.420 --> 0:41:13.910
<v Speaker 5>Dodgers can clench a postseason birthday with a win over

0:41:13.950 --> 0:41:18.050
<v Speaker 5>the Marlins. Plus, either a Diamondbacks loss or a Padres loss.

0:41:18.070 --> 0:41:21.009
<v Speaker 5>The Dodgers two-and-a-half games back of the Milwaukee Brewers with

0:41:21.030 --> 0:41:22.880
<v Speaker 5>the best record in the National League. Two-and-a-half games up

0:41:23.260 --> 0:41:26.040
<v Speaker 5>on the Atlanta Braves with the second spot. in the

0:41:26.120 --> 0:41:28.419
<v Speaker 5>National League. The Braves are at home against the Phillies.

0:41:28.440 --> 0:41:30.850
<v Speaker 5>That game is just about to get underway. Brewers will

0:41:30.870 --> 0:41:33.210
<v Speaker 5>get underway in about 30 minutes at home as they

0:41:33.250 --> 0:41:36.450
<v Speaker 5>take on the Cincinnati Reds. So a full slate of baseball,

0:41:36.530 --> 0:41:40.080
<v Speaker 5>also a full slate of NFL games as week one

0:41:40.680 --> 0:41:43.700
<v Speaker 5>is here for the National Football League. Hope you set

0:41:43.719 --> 0:41:46.410
<v Speaker 5>your fancy football roster. Hope you set your roster for

0:41:46.450 --> 0:41:50.070
<v Speaker 5>fantasy baseball because the Dodgers and the Marlins is next.

0:41:50.160 --> 0:41:52.820
<v Speaker 5>Enjoy it, everybody. I'm Tim Cates. This has been Morongo Casino.
