<v Speaker 1>For the back to back world champions of Baseball.

0:00:03.720 --> 0:00:06.080
<v Speaker 2>One of the greatest runs in the history of baseball.

<v Speaker 1>Immortality is within their reach.

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

0:00:12.400 --> 0:00:14.520
<v Speaker 4>The only reason the Dodgers are doing this because they

0:00:14.520 --> 0:00:14.920
<v Speaker 4>can't they.

0:00:14.920 --> 0:00:18.200
<v Speaker 3>Printing money, The Dodgers continue, it's not fair.

0:00:18.360 --> 0:00:19.520
<v Speaker 1>Are making plans.

0:00:20.079 --> 0:00:25.320
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, it's a singular focus on controlling what they can control.

0:00:25.640 --> 0:00:29.400
<v Speaker 3>Now your pregame host of the world champion La Dodgers,

0:00:29.880 --> 0:00:31.360

<v Speaker 6>Dodgers on deck on this Tuesday, June twenty third, as

0:00:39.960 --> 0:00:43.479
<v Speaker 6>your back to back world serious champions are on the

0:00:43.640 --> 0:00:48.080
<v Speaker 6>road in rainy Minneapolis as they take on the Twins.

0:00:48.159 --> 0:00:51.120
<v Speaker 6>Dodgers fifty and twenty nine on this season, the first

0:00:51.120 --> 0:00:54.840
<v Speaker 6>team in baseball to the fifty win mark, first place

0:00:54.880 --> 0:00:57.520
<v Speaker 6>atop of the NL West, they are running away with

0:00:57.600 --> 0:01:01.640
<v Speaker 6>the division. After a serious opening over the Twins yesterday,

0:01:01.920 --> 0:01:05.440
<v Speaker 6>the Dodgers look to do it again with Justin Robleski

0:01:05.640 --> 0:01:09.679
<v Speaker 6>on the mound. First pitch and target field in Minneapolis

0:01:09.800 --> 0:01:14.839
<v Speaker 6>is scheduled for four forty pm Pacific, but most likely

0:01:14.920 --> 0:01:17.839
<v Speaker 6>we will start in a rain delay as the tarp

0:01:18.000 --> 0:01:20.800
<v Speaker 6>is on the field and the rain is coming down.

0:01:20.880 --> 0:01:22.399
<v Speaker 4>But we got you covered.

0:01:22.440 --> 0:01:25.720
<v Speaker 6>No pun intended between now and then Here on Morongo Casino,

0:01:25.760 --> 0:01:28.320
<v Speaker 6>Dodgers on deck, you're gonna hear from the manager, Dave Roberts,

0:01:28.319 --> 0:01:31.880
<v Speaker 6>get his pregame thoughts before this game eventually gets under away,

0:01:31.880 --> 0:01:34.040
<v Speaker 6>we'll dive deeper into what this pitching matchup is gonna

0:01:34.080 --> 0:01:36.920
<v Speaker 6>look like. David Vassa joins us throughout the hour and

0:01:37.040 --> 0:01:38.360
<v Speaker 6>coming up in forty five minutes.

0:01:38.440 --> 0:01:39.040
<v Speaker 4>Not gonna miss it.

0:01:39.120 --> 0:01:42.200
<v Speaker 6>David Vassie is gonna go one on one with Kyle Tucker.

0:01:42.720 --> 0:01:44.840
<v Speaker 6>Certainly has not had the start of the season he

0:01:44.880 --> 0:01:47.360
<v Speaker 6>had hoped since signing as a free agent. But we're

0:01:47.360 --> 0:01:50.040
<v Speaker 6>gonna hear from the Dodger right fielder not in the

0:01:50.080 --> 0:01:53.280
<v Speaker 6>lineup today, still bothered by the sore back. But you're

0:01:53.280 --> 0:01:55.240
<v Speaker 6>gonna hear from Kyle Tucker one on one with David

0:01:55.320 --> 0:01:57.400
<v Speaker 6>Vassi coming up again in forty five minutes.

0:01:57.440 --> 0:01:59.000
<v Speaker 4>We got your Dodgers magical moment.

0:01:59.200 --> 0:02:01.960
<v Speaker 6>Shortly, we'll visit with Kirsten Watson from Sports and at

0:02:02.080 --> 0:02:04.400
<v Speaker 6>LA and just a few minutes we head out to

0:02:04.480 --> 0:02:07.800
<v Speaker 6>the Galloping Ford broadcast booth with Tim Neverett and Rick Monday. Well,

0:02:07.880 --> 0:02:11.440
<v Speaker 6>yesterday the Dodgers went with the opener and Will kleinb

0:02:11.560 --> 0:02:14.000
<v Speaker 6>trying to get the right handers out. He struck out

0:02:14.000 --> 0:02:17.480
<v Speaker 6>the first battery faced, but then the second batter old

0:02:17.639 --> 0:02:19.720
<v Speaker 6>Byron Buxton, got the best of them.

0:02:19.960 --> 0:02:22.520
<v Speaker 2>So even though they're productive, not as productive as they

0:02:22.520 --> 0:02:27.359
<v Speaker 2>could have been. He's got forty runs batted him and

0:02:27.520 --> 0:02:31.520
<v Speaker 2>a two to one he swings and hammers one deep

0:02:31.639 --> 0:02:35.800
<v Speaker 2>left center field back toward the Wallpie has gone.

0:02:35.440 --> 0:02:36.160
<v Speaker 1>Tie game.

0:02:37.520 --> 0:02:40.200
<v Speaker 2>Buxton's twenty fifth home run of the season.

0:02:41.200 --> 0:02:42.680
<v Speaker 1>It is one to one.

0:02:43.480 --> 0:02:45.640
<v Speaker 4>Byron Buckston went the solo home run again.

0:02:45.680 --> 0:02:48.960
<v Speaker 6>This came after show Hey Otani led off the game

0:02:49.000 --> 0:02:51.639
<v Speaker 6>in the top of the first with a solo blast,

0:02:52.040 --> 0:02:55.440
<v Speaker 6>his seventeenth of the year. The one nothing Dodgers lead

0:02:55.840 --> 0:02:59.399
<v Speaker 6>gone just like that to Byron Buxton, and we were

0:02:59.440 --> 0:03:02.040
<v Speaker 6>tied at one. Will Klein would go just the one inning.

0:03:02.360 --> 0:03:06.040
<v Speaker 6>In came Eric Lauer as the bulk inning pitcher, a

0:03:06.080 --> 0:03:08.440
<v Speaker 6>guy who probably should have got the start. He went

0:03:08.760 --> 0:03:11.840
<v Speaker 6>six shutout innings. In fact, he didn't give up a

0:03:11.919 --> 0:03:15.359
<v Speaker 6>hit over the six innings, walk three, but struck out two,

0:03:15.639 --> 0:03:19.480
<v Speaker 6>threw eighty four pitches and cruised over his six innings

0:03:19.480 --> 0:03:24.520
<v Speaker 6>of work. Meanwhile, the Dodgers offense struggled against Zebbie Matthews.

0:03:24.520 --> 0:03:27.880
<v Speaker 6>After the leadoff home run for show Hey o'tani, the game,

0:03:27.919 --> 0:03:31.440
<v Speaker 6>remind remained tied at one all the way until the

0:03:31.480 --> 0:03:35.280
<v Speaker 6>top half of the sixth inning, when the Dodgers unbroke

0:03:35.360 --> 0:03:37.760
<v Speaker 6>the tie with the leadoff batter Freddy Freeman.

0:03:38.400 --> 0:03:40.440
<v Speaker 2>I gotta have the feelings something's got to give here

0:03:40.480 --> 0:03:42.040
<v Speaker 2>pretty soon for the Dodger offense.

0:03:42.160 --> 0:03:44.640
<v Speaker 7>Yep, I have the feeling is gonna be a loud

0:03:44.720 --> 0:03:45.920
<v Speaker 7>sound sometime soon.

0:03:46.480 --> 0:03:50.880
<v Speaker 2>Freeman swings hits a high drive center field. Buxton looking

0:03:51.000 --> 0:03:54.720
<v Speaker 2>up and this ball is gone A oh run right on,

0:03:54.920 --> 0:03:56.200
<v Speaker 2>cue Freddy Freeman.

0:03:56.840 --> 0:03:57.920
<v Speaker 7>I rest my case.

0:03:59.520 --> 0:04:02.360
<v Speaker 2>Freeman gives the Dodgers a two to one lead, and

0:04:02.480 --> 0:04:06.680
<v Speaker 2>Freddie with his three one hundred and eightieth career home run.

0:04:06.800 --> 0:04:09.440
<v Speaker 6>Freddie Freeman goes deep. How did they know that was

0:04:09.480 --> 0:04:10.160
<v Speaker 6>gonna happen?

0:04:10.280 --> 0:04:10.480
<v Speaker 4>Well?

0:04:10.560 --> 0:04:12.960
<v Speaker 6>That untied the game, Dodgers with a two to one lead.

0:04:13.040 --> 0:04:16.560
<v Speaker 6>Mention Eric Lawer, he went really well over six innings.

0:04:16.560 --> 0:04:19.000
<v Speaker 6>In fact, the Twins win hitless between Royce Lewis's two

0:04:19.000 --> 0:04:21.760
<v Speaker 6>out single the first and then an Austin Martin leadoff

0:04:21.800 --> 0:04:23.000
<v Speaker 6>single in the eighth inning.

0:04:23.080 --> 0:04:26.080
<v Speaker 4>That was it. Eric Lower struck out two along the way.

0:04:26.320 --> 0:04:29.080
<v Speaker 6>Lower would exit after six innings of where Kyle Hurt

0:04:29.240 --> 0:04:31.960
<v Speaker 6>got the eighth inning. Tanner Scott came in, pitched the

0:04:32.080 --> 0:04:33.920
<v Speaker 6>ninth inning and put up a zero.

0:04:34.320 --> 0:04:36.640
<v Speaker 4>Dodgers hang on for a two to one win.

0:04:37.120 --> 0:04:39.599
<v Speaker 6>Eric Lower, good for him, gets the win, his third

0:04:39.640 --> 0:04:42.120
<v Speaker 6>of the season, second as a member of the Dodgers.

0:04:42.160 --> 0:04:45.200
<v Speaker 6>Tanner Scott picks up his tenth save of the season.

0:04:45.279 --> 0:04:47.920
<v Speaker 6>Dodgers with the win, first team to fifty wins now

0:04:48.080 --> 0:04:51.560
<v Speaker 6>fifty to twenty nine, best record in baseball, first place

0:04:51.600 --> 0:04:56.000
<v Speaker 6>atop the NL West, and today, barring the rain, Dodgers

0:04:56.080 --> 0:04:59.160
<v Speaker 6>look to do it again with Justin Robleski on the mound.

0:04:59.160 --> 0:05:02.479
<v Speaker 6>First pitch schedule for four forty, but we're most likely

0:05:02.480 --> 0:05:04.080
<v Speaker 6>going to be in a rain delay. Let's head out

0:05:04.080 --> 0:05:06.560
<v Speaker 6>though to the gallop before broadcast booth as we say

0:05:06.560 --> 0:05:08.480
<v Speaker 6>hello to Tidon Everdeen Rick Monday.

0:05:08.520 --> 0:05:12.320
<v Speaker 2>Guys, Tim, thanks very much. It's the opposite weather today

0:05:12.360 --> 0:05:15.320
<v Speaker 2>that we had for last night's game here in Minneapolis.

0:05:15.680 --> 0:05:20.520
<v Speaker 2>Last night beautiful tonight not so beautiful and very wet.

0:05:20.560 --> 0:05:24.640
<v Speaker 2>It's been raining since this afternoon, clouds and fog all

0:05:24.680 --> 0:05:28.200
<v Speaker 2>downtown really obscuring the view of some of the buildings

0:05:28.200 --> 0:05:30.840
<v Speaker 2>that are just beyond Target Field here as we get

0:05:30.880 --> 0:05:33.839
<v Speaker 2>set for Game two of this three game series between

0:05:33.960 --> 0:05:37.200
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers and the Minnesota Twins. Dodgers winning two to

0:05:37.240 --> 0:05:40.520
<v Speaker 2>one last night. Three home runs accounted for all the scoring.

0:05:40.880 --> 0:05:43.760
<v Speaker 2>Byron Buxton had a first inning home run for the Twins,

0:05:43.760 --> 0:05:46.400
<v Speaker 2>but Otani a leadoff home run, the thirtieth of his

0:05:46.440 --> 0:05:49.440
<v Speaker 2>career career home run number two ninety seven, and Freddie

0:05:49.440 --> 0:05:52.920
<v Speaker 2>Freeman hit his thirteenth of the year in his three

0:05:53.040 --> 0:05:57.120
<v Speaker 2>hundred and eightieth of his career. Tonight, Kenry Rojas will

0:05:57.160 --> 0:05:59.600
<v Speaker 2>start the game for the Twins. He is a left

0:05:59.600 --> 0:06:02.320
<v Speaker 2>Handry not expected to go very far in the game,

0:06:02.640 --> 0:06:05.640
<v Speaker 2>maybe a few winnings. Joe Ryan was supposed to start,

0:06:05.640 --> 0:06:07.560
<v Speaker 2>but he came down ill, so he is out and

0:06:07.640 --> 0:06:10.320
<v Speaker 2>Kendrey Rojas will get the start. He's one to zero

0:06:10.400 --> 0:06:14.280
<v Speaker 2>the one two six era. Justin Robluski has been very,

0:06:14.400 --> 0:06:16.400
<v Speaker 2>very good for the Dodgers this year, really a bright

0:06:16.440 --> 0:06:19.040
<v Speaker 2>surprise at eight and two in a two seven to

0:06:19.040 --> 0:06:23.919
<v Speaker 2>two era. Per Roblusky. He will face a Twins lineup

0:06:23.960 --> 0:06:26.599
<v Speaker 2>of pretty much all right handers. There are three switch

0:06:26.680 --> 0:06:29.200
<v Speaker 2>hitters in there, but one through nine they bat right

0:06:29.240 --> 0:06:29.960
<v Speaker 2>handed against them.

0:06:30.040 --> 0:06:32.000
<v Speaker 7>The Dodgers have to get the offense going a little

0:06:32.000 --> 0:06:34.599
<v Speaker 7>bit better than what they were able to do actually,

0:06:34.600 --> 0:06:36.880
<v Speaker 7>not only last night, but of recent games. On top

0:06:36.960 --> 0:06:39.360
<v Speaker 7>of it, another one run decision, this one a two

0:06:39.400 --> 0:06:42.599
<v Speaker 7>to one, But the Dodgers they had plenty of pitching,

0:06:42.640 --> 0:06:46.000
<v Speaker 7>allowed his three hints, but from an offensive standpoint, zero

0:06:46.040 --> 0:06:48.440
<v Speaker 7>for seven with runners in scoring position. Thanks for a

0:06:48.480 --> 0:06:50.960
<v Speaker 7>couple of big home runs you were alluding to, but

0:06:51.440 --> 0:06:53.240
<v Speaker 7>did they need to get that going a little bit more?

0:06:53.320 --> 0:06:55.880
<v Speaker 7>And they're going to be playing underhanded a little bit

0:06:55.920 --> 0:06:58.400
<v Speaker 7>more tonight because Kyle Tucker is not going to be

0:06:58.480 --> 0:07:02.320
<v Speaker 7>available in any stretching to imagination lower back spasms a

0:07:02.560 --> 0:07:06.160
<v Speaker 7>tightness that he experienced last night, and also with Dalton

0:07:06.240 --> 0:07:10.200
<v Speaker 7>Rushing had to leave last night's ball game, ironic did

0:07:10.240 --> 0:07:12.800
<v Speaker 7>in the first inning, Rushing took a foul ball off

0:07:12.840 --> 0:07:15.320
<v Speaker 7>the mask and eventually had to leave the ballgame. So

0:07:15.360 --> 0:07:19.200
<v Speaker 7>he's still under concussion protocol and probably not available the

0:07:19.320 --> 0:07:20.440
<v Speaker 7>entire game tonight.

0:07:20.600 --> 0:07:23.800
<v Speaker 2>Well, they did not taxi a catcher from the minor leagues,

0:07:24.200 --> 0:07:28.040
<v Speaker 2>so the emergency catcher, I'm told will be Alex Call,

0:07:28.600 --> 0:07:32.080
<v Speaker 2>and if not Alex call, it'll be Max Munson. So

0:07:32.200 --> 0:07:34.640
<v Speaker 2>let's hope we don't get to the emergency catcher portion

0:07:34.720 --> 0:07:35.080
<v Speaker 2>of the game.

0:07:35.160 --> 0:07:37.600
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, and especially since Al's call is going to start

0:07:37.640 --> 0:07:40.320
<v Speaker 7>in right field tonight and Max Buonci of course, will

0:07:40.360 --> 0:07:42.720
<v Speaker 7>be at third base on top of it, so we're

0:07:42.760 --> 0:07:45.200
<v Speaker 7>going to be able to see what happens. One thing

0:07:45.200 --> 0:07:47.200
<v Speaker 7>that happens also in the catching corps. This is kind

0:07:47.240 --> 0:07:50.520
<v Speaker 7>of interesting too. The Dodger catching corps in the month

0:07:50.600 --> 0:07:54.720
<v Speaker 7>of June has a mask a total of just eleven hits,

0:07:55.160 --> 0:07:57.320
<v Speaker 7>so they have been a few and far between as

0:07:57.320 --> 0:07:58.960
<v Speaker 7>far as opportunities to get on base.

0:07:59.280 --> 0:08:01.400
<v Speaker 2>And for chuck You Robinson, he has not had a

0:08:01.520 --> 0:08:04.920
<v Speaker 2>hit in the big leagues since September of twenty twenty four.

0:08:05.040 --> 0:08:08.080
<v Speaker 2>That's OH for twenty one in the big league since then,

0:08:08.120 --> 0:08:10.920
<v Speaker 2>he's OH for his last eleven with the Dodgers. So

0:08:11.160 --> 0:08:13.760
<v Speaker 2>it's about time Chuckie Robinson can get a hit and

0:08:13.800 --> 0:08:17.080
<v Speaker 2>contribute offensively. Dodgers' first team in Major League Baseball to

0:08:17.240 --> 0:08:20.800
<v Speaker 2>fifty wins fifty to twenty nine. The last time they

0:08:21.000 --> 0:08:24.160
<v Speaker 2>were first to fifty was twenty twenty two. That year

0:08:24.240 --> 0:08:27.640
<v Speaker 2>they also started fifty and twenty nine. They finished one

0:08:27.640 --> 0:08:32.360
<v Speaker 2>to eleven and fifty one. Game two tonight, will tell

0:08:32.400 --> 0:08:35.240
<v Speaker 2>you when it gets started. Just before it gets started,

0:08:35.760 --> 0:08:39.080
<v Speaker 2>rain's still coming down here in Minneapolis. Dodgers and Twins

0:08:39.120 --> 0:08:39.959
<v Speaker 2>coming up, Tim.

0:08:39.920 --> 0:08:41.079

<v Speaker 2>six degree the game time. Temp Otani swings Hammers want

0:10:08.040 --> 0:10:12.199
<v Speaker 2>the career of show Hey O'tani his sixth this year.

0:10:13.000 --> 0:10:16.559
<v Speaker 2>Instant offense and the Dodgers lead at one nothing.

0:10:19.400 --> 0:10:21.880
<v Speaker 7>I'm not sure the balls even come down yet.

0:10:22.600 --> 0:10:23.960
<v Speaker 1>What a blast.

0:10:24.280 --> 0:10:25.160
<v Speaker 4>What a blast?

0:10:25.280 --> 0:10:28.520
<v Speaker 6>Indeed, Show Hey Otani didn't tank long to get that

0:10:28.600 --> 0:10:31.280
<v Speaker 6>home run out of the ballpark. The second pitch of

0:10:31.280 --> 0:10:33.400
<v Speaker 6>the game, he took Deep into the plaza and right

0:10:33.440 --> 0:10:36.040
<v Speaker 6>field at an eighty seven mile an hour change up

0:10:36.040 --> 0:10:38.560
<v Speaker 6>in the middle of the zone from zeb Matthews and

0:10:38.640 --> 0:10:42.600
<v Speaker 6>O'tani hit it out at one hundred and twelve miles

0:10:42.640 --> 0:10:46.080
<v Speaker 6>per hour, clearing the right field seats at Target Field.

0:10:46.160 --> 0:10:49.520
<v Speaker 6>Otani certainly likes playing there. He has four home runs

0:10:49.520 --> 0:10:53.360
<v Speaker 6>and ten ribies in thirteen career games played at that ballpark.

0:10:53.360 --> 0:10:56.040
<v Speaker 6>He was his sixth leadoff home run this season and

0:10:56.120 --> 0:10:59.520
<v Speaker 6>his seventh in seventeen games in the month of June.

0:11:00.080 --> 0:11:03.840
<v Speaker 1>It is Kirston's Corner with Kirston Watson.

0:11:04.960 --> 0:11:07.839
<v Speaker 6>Hey, Kirsten now joins us from Minneapolis.

0:11:07.880 --> 0:11:09.760
<v Speaker 4>Before the game brought to you by.

0:11:09.640 --> 0:11:12.680
<v Speaker 6>Cars for Kids donat now Carsfrokids dot org. That's Cars

0:11:12.760 --> 0:11:15.880
<v Speaker 6>with the k All right, Kirsten, what is the latest

0:11:15.920 --> 0:11:16.760
<v Speaker 6>with the weather.

0:11:18.040 --> 0:11:21.560
<v Speaker 8>Oh, Tim, it is rain, rain, and some more rain.

0:11:21.679 --> 0:11:23.440
<v Speaker 8>But you know what, the hope is that they want

0:11:23.440 --> 0:11:25.480
<v Speaker 8>to get this game in tonight. So what does that

0:11:25.559 --> 0:11:28.560
<v Speaker 8>mean to be determined? It is seem likely that they

0:11:28.600 --> 0:11:31.440
<v Speaker 8>could be starting in a delay. Nothing official at this moment,

0:11:31.520 --> 0:11:34.000
<v Speaker 8>but yeah, there's a lot of rain in the forecast.

0:11:34.000 --> 0:11:36.600
<v Speaker 8>It's really not supposed to open up until maybe like nine,

0:11:36.679 --> 0:11:39.160
<v Speaker 8>nine thirty, and even at that point it may just

0:11:39.200 --> 0:11:42.440
<v Speaker 8>be a lighter rain. It's come in spurts. We've had heavy,

0:11:42.480 --> 0:11:44.880
<v Speaker 8>we've had drizzled, but it's been very steady, and we're

0:11:44.920 --> 0:11:46.760
<v Speaker 8>talking to just some of the guys it's more of

0:11:47.240 --> 0:11:49.160
<v Speaker 8>it's some type of rain that proves to be more

0:11:49.200 --> 0:11:51.840
<v Speaker 8>of an annoyance than anything. So the hope is that

0:11:51.880 --> 0:11:53.960
<v Speaker 8>they can get this game started though, and just have

0:11:54.040 --> 0:11:55.040
<v Speaker 8>to battle through it tonight.

0:11:55.679 --> 0:11:58.360
<v Speaker 6>What's the latest on the injuries, Kirston, Because yesterday we

0:11:58.400 --> 0:11:59.920
<v Speaker 6>saw two Dodgers go out of the game.

0:12:00.760 --> 0:12:02.320
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, and they came out of the game early.

0:12:02.480 --> 0:12:05.400
<v Speaker 8>So first let's start with Kyle Tucker. So when we

0:12:05.440 --> 0:12:07.640
<v Speaker 8>spoke to him after the game last night, he was

0:12:07.679 --> 0:12:10.679
<v Speaker 8>sharing that early in the game he felt basically his

0:12:10.720 --> 0:12:13.520
<v Speaker 8>lower back kind of tightened up and then that led

0:12:13.559 --> 0:12:15.640
<v Speaker 8>to a spasm. It was something he felt in the

0:12:15.679 --> 0:12:17.520
<v Speaker 8>at bad and he wasn't really in both of his

0:12:17.520 --> 0:12:19.319
<v Speaker 8>at bats, i should say, and he wasn't really sure

0:12:19.800 --> 0:12:22.280
<v Speaker 8>kind of what the result was going to be. But

0:12:22.320 --> 0:12:24.360
<v Speaker 8>once he got on base, pay the walk and then

0:12:24.440 --> 0:12:27.640
<v Speaker 8>ran over a second with Tommy Edmund getting his hit,

0:12:28.480 --> 0:12:30.880
<v Speaker 8>that's when he really felt it. And so Dave Roberts

0:12:30.960 --> 0:12:33.280
<v Speaker 8>was aware that his back had been bothering him, so

0:12:33.360 --> 0:12:35.400
<v Speaker 8>that was why he immediately took him out of the game.

0:12:35.760 --> 0:12:38.880
<v Speaker 8>He had shared that he has experienced this backspasm in

0:12:38.920 --> 0:12:41.240
<v Speaker 8>the past before last time, he said it felt like

0:12:41.280 --> 0:12:43.080
<v Speaker 8>it was a little bit worse than this one that

0:12:43.120 --> 0:12:47.840
<v Speaker 8>he's currently experiencing. Dave Roberts did confirm that he's unavailable today,

0:12:48.640 --> 0:12:50.720
<v Speaker 8>likely just going to be unavailable the rest of this

0:12:50.840 --> 0:12:53.040
<v Speaker 8>series and then they'll hopefully get him back out there

0:12:53.040 --> 0:12:56.040
<v Speaker 8>on Friday in San Diego, but they just kind of

0:12:56.040 --> 0:12:58.240
<v Speaker 8>want to give him a moment to reset, allow that

0:12:58.280 --> 0:13:00.680
<v Speaker 8>back to feel better, but they are going to truly

0:13:00.679 --> 0:13:02.160
<v Speaker 8>stay away from him, especially.

0:13:01.840 --> 0:13:03.080
<v Speaker 1>Tonight and likely tomorrow.

0:13:03.360 --> 0:13:05.040
<v Speaker 4>Then you've got Dalton Rushing.

0:13:05.080 --> 0:13:07.360
<v Speaker 8>So Dalton Rushing to the foul tip off of his mask,

0:13:07.480 --> 0:13:11.280
<v Speaker 8>went into concussion protocols and testing, so he's not in

0:13:11.280 --> 0:13:14.040
<v Speaker 8>the lineup either today and they are gonna undergo one

0:13:14.040 --> 0:13:16.360
<v Speaker 8>more round of testing with him, so that'll be at

0:13:16.480 --> 0:13:20.200
<v Speaker 8>six pm local. Dalton came in today feeling that he's

0:13:20.320 --> 0:13:22.319
<v Speaker 8>saying that he does feel a lot better and that

0:13:22.400 --> 0:13:25.120
<v Speaker 8>he could be out there in the lineup, But Dave said,

0:13:25.880 --> 0:13:28.440
<v Speaker 8>you know, especially when you have these young players, one like.

0:13:28.480 --> 0:13:31.680
<v Speaker 4>Dalton Rushing, where he will go out there even if.

0:13:31.559 --> 0:13:34.600
<v Speaker 8>It's probably against what the training stuff was saying. They

0:13:34.600 --> 0:13:36.400
<v Speaker 8>were saying they're gonna wait to hear what the trainers

0:13:36.400 --> 0:13:38.520
<v Speaker 8>have to say confirm that he's in the clear, but

0:13:38.640 --> 0:13:41.520
<v Speaker 8>they don't expect he to be on a concussion all

0:13:41.760 --> 0:13:43.880
<v Speaker 8>or anything either. And the hope is that not only

0:13:43.920 --> 0:13:46.800
<v Speaker 8>could he be available off the bench tonight, but be

0:13:46.880 --> 0:13:50.040
<v Speaker 8>back in the lineup tomorrow. So guys are feeling better,

0:13:50.080 --> 0:13:51.800
<v Speaker 8>which is a good thing. We're grateful to be saying

0:13:51.800 --> 0:13:53.840
<v Speaker 8>that no one is going on the il at this moment.

0:13:53.880 --> 0:13:55.680
<v Speaker 8>But it definitely was a bit scary yesterday, or not

0:13:55.679 --> 0:13:58.360
<v Speaker 8>even scary, but just concerning when you have two key

0:13:58.400 --> 0:13:59.679
<v Speaker 8>guys coming out of the game.

0:13:59.480 --> 0:14:01.559
<v Speaker 4>So early, no doubt about it. You hear the rain

0:14:01.559 --> 0:14:02.319
<v Speaker 4>in the background.

0:14:02.480 --> 0:14:05.560
<v Speaker 6>Stage Ry Kirsten, and hopefully this game gets in eventually.

0:14:05.559 --> 0:14:07.640
<v Speaker 4>We'll check in with you after it's all done. Still

0:14:07.640 --> 0:14:08.079
<v Speaker 4>to come here.

0:14:08.200 --> 0:14:10.439
<v Speaker 6>I'm Marongo Casino Dodgers on deck, will dive deeper of

0:14:10.480 --> 0:14:13.240
<v Speaker 6>this injury report, and we'll hear from the manager, Dave Roberts.

<v Speaker 6>and Kendri Rojas the scheduled pitching matchup from Minnesota. This

0:14:54.160 --> 0:14:57.240
<v Speaker 6>game will not start on time, so we'll see what

0:14:57.440 --> 0:15:01.720
<v Speaker 6>time first pitch eventually is. As the Dodgers get ready

0:15:01.760 --> 0:15:04.560
<v Speaker 6>for their to get to fifty one wins on the season.

0:15:04.840 --> 0:15:07.360
<v Speaker 6>First team to fifty wins this year is the Dodgers

0:15:07.640 --> 0:15:08.920
<v Speaker 6>cruising in the NL West.

0:15:10.520 --> 0:15:14.359
<v Speaker 1>He's the LA Dodgers Injury Report.

0:15:14.000 --> 0:15:17.800
<v Speaker 6>Presented by UCLA Healthy official medical partner the Los Angeles Dodgers.

0:15:17.800 --> 0:15:18.440
<v Speaker 4>Here's an update.

0:15:18.480 --> 0:15:21.000
<v Speaker 6>Will Smith on the IL with the next inflammation, ta

0:15:21.080 --> 0:15:23.560
<v Speaker 6>Oskar Hernandez on the IL with the left hamstring strain.

0:15:23.840 --> 0:15:25.280
<v Speaker 4>No Dalton rushing in the game.

0:15:25.400 --> 0:15:28.680
<v Speaker 6>Still still okay from last night leaving the game with

0:15:28.720 --> 0:15:31.960
<v Speaker 6>concussion like symptoms but checked out no concussion after the game,

0:15:32.040 --> 0:15:35.200
<v Speaker 6>but just for precautionary reasons, not in the lineup today, so.

0:15:35.160 --> 0:15:36.080
<v Speaker 4>That is certainly good news.

0:15:36.120 --> 0:15:38.720
<v Speaker 6>Also, no Kyle Tucker still bothered by the backspasses, but

0:15:38.720 --> 0:15:41.120
<v Speaker 6>you're gonna hear from Kyle Tucker coming up. In less

0:15:41.120 --> 0:15:44.160
<v Speaker 6>than twenty minutes. We got Tyler Glassdow on the IL,

0:15:44.200 --> 0:15:47.160
<v Speaker 6>Blake Snell on the IL. Edwin Diaz is starting the

0:15:47.160 --> 0:15:49.480
<v Speaker 6>throwing program. That is good news. Looks like Evan Phillips,

0:15:49.520 --> 0:15:52.320
<v Speaker 6>out of all the Dodger relievers, is the closest to

0:15:52.440 --> 0:15:55.720
<v Speaker 6>returning sometime next month. Let's head back out to rainy

0:15:55.720 --> 0:15:57.640
<v Speaker 6>Minneapolis and check out with the Dodger Skipper.

0:15:58.120 --> 0:15:58.640
<v Speaker 7>Anything else with.

0:16:00.240 --> 0:16:03.120
<v Speaker 1>Questions for Dave, Dave, can you just describe Dave?

0:16:03.200 --> 0:16:06.640
<v Speaker 3>Can you talk about the pressure in the dugouts with

0:16:06.880 --> 0:16:07.960
<v Speaker 3>Dave Robberts.

0:16:09.520 --> 0:16:12.640
<v Speaker 9>Well, we have a call in about forty minutes with

0:16:12.760 --> 0:16:15.880
<v Speaker 9>Major League Baseball the Twins, and then hopefully we'll know

0:16:15.880 --> 0:16:18.520
<v Speaker 9>a little bit more. You know, as it stands now,

0:16:19.680 --> 0:16:22.280
<v Speaker 9>you know, guys would cancel bat and practice. Guys are

0:16:22.400 --> 0:16:26.120
<v Speaker 9>getting cranked up indoors. But like I said, we'll know

0:16:26.200 --> 0:16:28.960
<v Speaker 9>more about forty minutes, but hopefully there's not too much

0:16:28.960 --> 0:16:29.520
<v Speaker 9>of a delay.

0:16:29.720 --> 0:16:32.440
<v Speaker 8>You've got Justin Robleski starting today. When you think about

0:16:32.480 --> 0:16:35.520
<v Speaker 8>just a player who has to pitch through whether it's rain,

0:16:35.720 --> 0:16:37.920
<v Speaker 8>other things like that, I mean, how has he prepared

0:16:38.000 --> 0:16:40.240
<v Speaker 8>himself for these moments that can pose different challenges.

0:16:40.960 --> 0:16:44.320
<v Speaker 9>Justin's good in the sense that I don't think that,

0:16:44.840 --> 0:16:51.080
<v Speaker 9>you know, circumstances conditions affect him. He's a very focused ballplayer,

0:16:51.240 --> 0:16:54.440
<v Speaker 9>and so you know, once we have some clarity on

0:16:54.520 --> 0:16:56.840
<v Speaker 9>what we're going to do, he'll be ready to go.

0:16:56.920 --> 0:16:59.400
<v Speaker 9>And I don't think that you know, any type of

0:16:59.480 --> 0:17:05.600
<v Speaker 9>weather conditions are going to affect him tonight today it's

0:17:05.640 --> 0:17:10.040
<v Speaker 9>at six o'clock. But from what I hear, he said

0:17:10.040 --> 0:17:14.360
<v Speaker 9>he's good to go. So that doesn't carry too much

0:17:14.400 --> 0:17:17.080
<v Speaker 9>weight until I hear from the medical staff, but it

0:17:17.160 --> 0:17:18.840
<v Speaker 9>is good to know that he said he's good to go.

0:17:20.000 --> 0:17:22.439
<v Speaker 9>My hope is that he'll be available off the bench,

0:17:23.800 --> 0:17:30.000
<v Speaker 9>you know, in some capacity. Tucker unavailable, so feeling better,

0:17:30.960 --> 0:17:32.560
<v Speaker 9>but yeah, unavailable tonight.

0:17:33.600 --> 0:17:34.199
<v Speaker 1>With the ils.

0:17:34.240 --> 0:17:35.479
<v Speaker 7>That's sort of how you're feeling as well.

0:17:35.760 --> 0:17:41.119
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, yeah, I think most likely will probably stay away

0:17:41.119 --> 0:17:44.040
<v Speaker 9>from him this series and then you know, with hopes

0:17:44.040 --> 0:17:45.640
<v Speaker 9>of getting him back in line up on Friday.

0:17:48.080 --> 0:17:50.159
<v Speaker 1>I mean that given the way things about him that,

0:17:50.440 --> 0:17:52.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, I mean, if you're already going to miss

0:17:52.040 --> 0:17:54.760
<v Speaker 1>a few days anyway, that he's kind of give him

0:17:54.720 --> 0:17:56.679
<v Speaker 1>the ten days is kind of I don't know.

0:17:56.640 --> 0:18:00.800
<v Speaker 9>If being compressed, he said, you know, you know, I haven't.

0:18:01.000 --> 0:18:02.720
<v Speaker 9>I don't think we've thought about that, but I do

0:18:02.840 --> 0:18:06.399
<v Speaker 9>think that, you know, the four days might be with

0:18:06.520 --> 0:18:09.360
<v Speaker 9>the off day would be a middle to that. And

0:18:09.400 --> 0:18:13.000
<v Speaker 9>so hopefully that he has taken advantage of, you know

0:18:13.040 --> 0:18:15.520
<v Speaker 9>this obviously to get right, but also kind of a

0:18:15.520 --> 0:18:18.200
<v Speaker 9>mental reset. Hopefully the four days will suffice.

0:18:18.520 --> 0:18:20.840
<v Speaker 6>All right, there's the manager, Dave Roberts talking about no

0:18:20.920 --> 0:18:24.040
<v Speaker 6>Kyle Tucker available tonight, by Dalton Russian is available if

0:18:24.080 --> 0:18:26.480
<v Speaker 6>needed off the bench. So that is certainly good news

0:18:26.480 --> 0:18:29.560
<v Speaker 6>for the Dodger catcher, as the Dodgers already without Will

0:18:29.560 --> 0:18:30.760
<v Speaker 6>Smith on the injured list.

0:18:30.800 --> 0:18:32.480
<v Speaker 4>So we continue here on Dodgers on Deck.

0:18:32.640 --> 0:18:35.560
<v Speaker 6>We will check in with David Vase get the latest

0:18:35.840 --> 0:18:37.680

<v Speaker 5>I accept everybody for who they are.

0:19:29.840 --> 0:19:33.000
<v Speaker 1>This is Dodger Insider David Basse.

0:19:33.320 --> 0:19:37.119
<v Speaker 6>All right, DV, what is the latest from Rainy target Field.

0:19:38.520 --> 0:19:40.960
<v Speaker 5>Well, you just said we are expected to start the

0:19:41.040 --> 0:19:43.520
<v Speaker 5>game in a delay. I got news for you, Tim.

0:19:43.800 --> 0:19:46.679
<v Speaker 5>We are starting this game in a delay. That's official.

0:19:47.160 --> 0:19:49.760
<v Speaker 5>We just don't know when this game will start. Effort

0:19:49.840 --> 0:19:54.560
<v Speaker 5>everything from ten o'clock Central time to eight o'clock Central time.

0:19:54.680 --> 0:19:57.840
<v Speaker 5>But the rain is still coming down pretty heavy right now.

0:19:57.920 --> 0:20:00.639
<v Speaker 5>The tarp is on the field, the ground screw is

0:20:00.680 --> 0:20:03.400
<v Speaker 5>trying to manage the tarf so when they do take

0:20:03.440 --> 0:20:07.000
<v Speaker 5>the tarp off, it's not flooded with water. And one

0:20:07.040 --> 0:20:09.639
<v Speaker 5>thing about target field, they may not have put a

0:20:09.680 --> 0:20:12.520
<v Speaker 5>retractable roof on it, but they do have a pretty

0:20:12.560 --> 0:20:16.399
<v Speaker 5>good drainage system on the warning track. And they just

0:20:16.480 --> 0:20:20.200
<v Speaker 5>let the fans in the stadium about twenty minutes ago,

0:20:20.400 --> 0:20:25.040
<v Speaker 5>So they have every intent on playing this game, even

0:20:25.080 --> 0:20:27.640
<v Speaker 5>if it means starting it at ten o'clock Central time.

0:20:27.840 --> 0:20:30.440
<v Speaker 6>That is a late start time for a game ten

0:20:30.440 --> 0:20:33.160
<v Speaker 6>o'clock at night. All right, David's brought to you by

0:20:33.160 --> 0:20:34.200
<v Speaker 6>Ford here for those.

0:20:34.200 --> 0:20:35.240

<v Speaker 4>I'm sticking to you, David.

0:20:37.440 --> 0:20:41.639
<v Speaker 6>You know your sleep habits brought to you by Ford,

<v Speaker 6>the door as we speak.

0:20:48.560 --> 0:20:50.480
<v Speaker 4>All right, Dodgers all Star voting.

0:20:50.560 --> 0:20:52.240
<v Speaker 6>David, what's the lightest as we get ready for the

0:20:52.280 --> 0:20:54.520
<v Speaker 6>Midsummer Classic? What are we look at as far as

0:20:54.520 --> 0:20:55.639
<v Speaker 6>guys going to Philadelphia?

0:20:56.640 --> 0:20:59.360
<v Speaker 5>Well, I think like the biggest surprised him is that

0:20:59.440 --> 0:21:03.440
<v Speaker 5>Freddy is leading all first basemen in the National League,

0:21:03.520 --> 0:21:07.640
<v Speaker 5>and he's ahead of current Atlanta Bray first baseman Matt Olson,

0:21:07.720 --> 0:21:10.840
<v Speaker 5>who you could argue is an MVP candidate this year.

0:21:11.160 --> 0:21:14.720
<v Speaker 5>Freddy's ops is eight thirty eight. He hit his five

0:21:14.840 --> 0:21:18.400
<v Speaker 5>hundred or three hundred and eightieth career home run last night.

0:21:18.680 --> 0:21:22.280
<v Speaker 5>He's having a very fine season. But yeah, he's among

0:21:22.400 --> 0:21:25.200
<v Speaker 5>the Dodgers that are leading the votes in the National League.

0:21:25.240 --> 0:21:28.199
<v Speaker 5>Max Munsey, who hands down should be the starter at

0:21:28.280 --> 0:21:30.960
<v Speaker 5>third base and the fans are getting that right. Andy

0:21:31.040 --> 0:21:35.240
<v Speaker 5>Pat has same thing. He is leading all National League outfielders.

0:21:35.240 --> 0:21:38.240
<v Speaker 5>Shoe hay O Tommi is leading all vote getters in

0:21:38.280 --> 0:21:40.879
<v Speaker 5>both leagues with two point one million votes.

0:21:41.720 --> 0:21:42.720
<v Speaker 1>The one also.

0:21:42.640 --> 0:21:45.840
<v Speaker 5>Surprises that Will Smith is second, so he'll be going

0:21:45.880 --> 0:21:49.359
<v Speaker 5>on to Phase two likely. So the Dodgers have a

0:21:49.600 --> 0:21:52.880
<v Speaker 5>strong contingent of position players that are getting a lot

0:21:52.880 --> 0:21:55.240
<v Speaker 5>of votes, and you would have to venture to say

0:21:55.520 --> 0:21:58.200
<v Speaker 5>they're getting a lot of international votes these days.

0:21:58.040 --> 0:22:00.960
<v Speaker 6>So doubt about that, David. What's the light with the twins?

0:22:01.240 --> 0:22:04.320
<v Speaker 6>Joe Ryan, the All Star argue their best pitcher. Are

0:22:04.359 --> 0:22:06.680
<v Speaker 6>the Dodgers going to see him in the next couple

0:22:06.680 --> 0:22:07.080
<v Speaker 6>of days?

0:22:07.080 --> 0:22:10.600
<v Speaker 5>Here we'll get this, tim Joe Ryan was supposed to

0:22:10.720 --> 0:22:14.040
<v Speaker 5>start tonight and then obviously with the rain and everything

0:22:14.080 --> 0:22:17.040
<v Speaker 5>that has come with it, all of a sudden, Joe

0:22:17.119 --> 0:22:21.240
<v Speaker 5>Ryan was scratched for an illness. His illness was so

0:22:21.440 --> 0:22:24.080
<v Speaker 5>bad tim that he was throwing in the bullpen when

0:22:24.119 --> 0:22:29.160
<v Speaker 5>the rain was coming down. And tomorrow Joe Ryan and

0:22:29.240 --> 0:22:32.760
<v Speaker 5>shoe Hey Otani will square off, and not coincidentally, about

0:22:32.760 --> 0:22:36.479
<v Speaker 5>an hour ago, the Twins' Twitter account put out that

0:22:36.640 --> 0:22:40.720
<v Speaker 5>marquee matchup Otani versus Joe Ryan with a link to

0:22:40.760 --> 0:22:44.840
<v Speaker 5>buy tickets to Tomorrow's game. And the expectation is that

0:22:44.920 --> 0:22:46.919
<v Speaker 5>they are going to have the largest crowd of the

0:22:47.040 --> 0:22:51.600
<v Speaker 5>season at Target Field tomorrow night. Thirty five thousand plus

0:22:51.640 --> 0:22:55.080
<v Speaker 5>are expected now, and my understanding talking to some of

0:22:55.119 --> 0:22:57.600
<v Speaker 5>the Twins media members, they are going to open the

0:22:57.640 --> 0:23:02.800
<v Speaker 5>gates thirty minutes earlier before tomorrow night's game. So Joe

0:23:02.880 --> 0:23:07.720
<v Speaker 5>Ryan push back a day. With the rain, Otani and

0:23:07.760 --> 0:23:08.840
<v Speaker 5>an illness, that's.

0:23:08.680 --> 0:23:10.640
<v Speaker 4>Probably why they don't want to do a doubleheader tomorrow.

0:23:10.760 --> 0:23:14.080
<v Speaker 6>Also, David, but yeah, great pitching matchup on paper with

0:23:14.200 --> 0:23:15.600
<v Speaker 6>Joe Ryan and show Heltani.

0:23:15.680 --> 0:23:18.600
<v Speaker 4>David, great stuff. Looking forward to your conversation with Kyle Tucker.

0:23:18.640 --> 0:23:21.320

<v Speaker 5>we get this game underway at whatever time and Robleski

0:26:20.280 --> 0:26:22.840
<v Speaker 5>pitches the way he's pitched all year, I'm not sure

0:26:22.840 --> 0:26:24.720
<v Speaker 5>how you leave him out of that conversation.

0:26:24.880 --> 0:26:27.080
<v Speaker 7>I'm glad that you brought that up because for those

0:26:27.200 --> 0:26:29.280
<v Speaker 7>that have not been keeping abreast of what's going on,

0:26:30.320 --> 0:26:33.440
<v Speaker 7>Justin Robleski has made twelve stars plus one relief appearance.

0:26:33.520 --> 0:26:36.879
<v Speaker 7>His record is eight and two, his er is under

0:26:37.040 --> 0:26:40.600
<v Speaker 7>two and three quarters. Why would he not be in

0:26:40.760 --> 0:26:41.960
<v Speaker 7>the thoughts and in the mix?

0:26:42.440 --> 0:26:45.560
<v Speaker 5>Dave Roberts actually drew the parallel of a few years

0:26:45.560 --> 0:26:48.920
<v Speaker 5>ago when Tony Gonsolin had his best year in baseball

0:26:48.960 --> 0:26:51.000
<v Speaker 5>at the end of the year one eighteen games and

0:26:51.600 --> 0:26:54.320
<v Speaker 5>just was one of those seasons, And it feels like

0:26:54.400 --> 0:26:55.919
<v Speaker 5>that's what the All Star Game is.

0:26:56.040 --> 0:26:58.800
<v Speaker 7>Some other numbers that we will talk about when Tim

0:26:58.840 --> 0:27:00.800
<v Speaker 7>and I are doing the pregame show, I'm certain and

0:27:00.840 --> 0:27:03.920
<v Speaker 7>it will enter into the ballgame as well. First of all,

0:27:03.920 --> 0:27:07.000
<v Speaker 7>the banning average against it just two fifteen runners in

0:27:07.000 --> 0:27:09.920
<v Speaker 7>scoring position, which to me tells a whole lot about

0:27:09.920 --> 0:27:12.119
<v Speaker 7>when the game's on the line really important. Just a

0:27:12.160 --> 0:27:15.320
<v Speaker 7>one ninety six banning average, so below the Mendoza lines.

0:27:15.320 --> 0:27:17.800
<v Speaker 7>We referred to it as the Bob Yucker line because

0:27:17.840 --> 0:27:20.720
<v Speaker 7>Bob Yucker's career batting average is a two hundred, ranted

0:27:20.720 --> 0:27:22.840
<v Speaker 7>by Bob and Bill Walking number of years ago. Because

0:27:23.080 --> 0:27:25.720
<v Speaker 7>I would be honored if you use my name as

0:27:25.720 --> 0:27:28.560
<v Speaker 7>the Bob Bucker line. So that in itself, I mean,

0:27:28.800 --> 0:27:31.520
<v Speaker 7>very good, very good point did you bring up here

0:27:32.400 --> 0:27:35.520
<v Speaker 7>in particular home, I started to look at some numbers today.

0:27:36.400 --> 0:27:38.880
<v Speaker 7>Ribleski's four and one both at home and on the road.

0:27:38.960 --> 0:27:41.240
<v Speaker 7>But at home he's only allowed a one to fifty

0:27:41.280 --> 0:27:44.159
<v Speaker 7>one banning average against. I mean, he basically has owned

0:27:44.840 --> 0:27:45.480
<v Speaker 7>the home turf.

0:27:46.000 --> 0:27:46.200
<v Speaker 2>Rick.

0:27:46.560 --> 0:27:50.159
<v Speaker 5>Last night, the Dodgers and Twins combined to score three runs.

0:27:50.240 --> 0:27:53.520
<v Speaker 5>They were all hit by home runs. Does it feel

0:27:53.560 --> 0:27:57.080
<v Speaker 5>like at this point of the season that teams have

0:27:57.200 --> 0:28:00.320
<v Speaker 5>built their identity, and the Dodgers' identity is if they

0:28:00.400 --> 0:28:02.800
<v Speaker 5>hit home runs, they usually win well.

0:28:02.880 --> 0:28:05.000
<v Speaker 7>That and if you make a mistake against the Dodgers'

0:28:05.000 --> 0:28:08.000
<v Speaker 7>ball club, they will win a high percentage of the games.

0:28:08.040 --> 0:28:09.960
<v Speaker 7>That's why you just cannot afford to make a mistake,

0:28:10.040 --> 0:28:12.679
<v Speaker 7>a mistake against good teams, whether it be the Dodgers

0:28:12.920 --> 0:28:16.560
<v Speaker 7>or anybody else. I look at the standings around Major

0:28:16.640 --> 0:28:18.879
<v Speaker 7>League Baseball, I'm still kind of puzzled as to why

0:28:19.680 --> 0:28:21.800
<v Speaker 7>there are only X number of teams that are even

0:28:21.840 --> 0:28:26.000
<v Speaker 7>about five hundred. You know, is it parody?

0:28:26.119 --> 0:28:26.840
<v Speaker 1>Is it what?

0:28:26.960 --> 0:28:27.159
<v Speaker 7>Is it?

0:28:27.200 --> 0:28:27.960
<v Speaker 1>Is it bad years?

0:28:28.040 --> 0:28:30.520
<v Speaker 7>Don't really know, but it is nice to see a

0:28:30.560 --> 0:28:33.120
<v Speaker 7>couple of different teams are you know, kind of up there?

0:28:33.160 --> 0:28:36.720
<v Speaker 7>For example, who would have thought on the twenty third

0:28:36.880 --> 0:28:40.000
<v Speaker 7>of June. Coming into today's action in the America League

0:28:40.000 --> 0:28:42.600
<v Speaker 7>Central Division, the Chicago White Sox will be tied for

0:28:42.680 --> 0:28:43.840
<v Speaker 7>first place in the division.

0:28:44.480 --> 0:28:46.000
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, nobody thought that would happen.

0:28:46.240 --> 0:28:48.280
<v Speaker 5>But I will say this, it's been four or five

0:28:48.360 --> 0:28:50.440
<v Speaker 5>years where they've had the first pick in the draft,

0:28:50.760 --> 0:28:52.480
<v Speaker 5>so at some point you got to get some good

0:28:52.480 --> 0:28:53.520
<v Speaker 5>players in the system.

0:28:53.600 --> 0:28:57.040
<v Speaker 7>You think, yeah, it would be nice to be able

0:28:57.280 --> 0:28:59.200
<v Speaker 7>to do that. There's no question the Dodgers start with

0:28:59.240 --> 0:29:01.760
<v Speaker 7>a nine game lead over the San Diego Padres and

0:29:01.760 --> 0:29:04.320
<v Speaker 7>the Nashley Western Division that a couple of different things

0:29:04.360 --> 0:29:06.320
<v Speaker 7>have to take place. First of all, we're not going

0:29:06.360 --> 0:29:10.960
<v Speaker 7>to see Kyle Tucker availability tonight. You heard that from

0:29:11.040 --> 0:29:14.320
<v Speaker 7>Dave Roberts downstairs. But you're also going to be talking

0:29:14.360 --> 0:29:16.840
<v Speaker 7>to mister Tucker a little bit later on on the pregame.

0:29:16.440 --> 0:29:18.600
<v Speaker 5>Show, and I gave him some advice. I said, Hey,

0:29:18.840 --> 0:29:21.040
<v Speaker 5>Friday in San Diego is a great day to start

0:29:21.080 --> 0:29:21.760
<v Speaker 5>playing again.

0:29:22.040 --> 0:29:25.080
<v Speaker 7>Okay, takes a good time. Okay, So now you're his

0:29:25.760 --> 0:29:26.760
<v Speaker 7>playing managers, and.

0:29:27.120 --> 0:29:31.520
<v Speaker 5>I'm his life coach, I'm his manager, back therapist, all

0:29:31.560 --> 0:29:32.200
<v Speaker 5>of these things.

0:29:32.280 --> 0:29:35.719
<v Speaker 7>Rick, Well, tomorrow is a showed Hey, Otan, he's going

0:29:35.760 --> 0:29:38.000
<v Speaker 7>to be pitching correct. Yes, well, let me bring back

0:29:38.040 --> 0:29:40.800
<v Speaker 7>another pitcher that turned into a hitter, and boy what

0:29:40.880 --> 0:29:43.280
<v Speaker 7>a hitter he did. Because on his date We'll go

0:29:43.320 --> 0:29:47.120
<v Speaker 7>back to nineteen seventeen with the Boston Red Sox. At

0:29:47.120 --> 0:29:51.000
<v Speaker 7>the time, olboy Dabe Ruth walked the leadoff man, Ray

0:29:51.120 --> 0:29:54.880
<v Speaker 7>Morgan was his name. On four pitches, he argued with

0:29:54.920 --> 0:29:58.640
<v Speaker 7>the homeplate umpire named Brick Owens, and he was ejected

0:29:59.320 --> 0:30:02.560
<v Speaker 7>one batter into the ball game. Babe Ruce ejected, so

0:30:02.640 --> 0:30:05.440
<v Speaker 7>what happened? Well, I'm the name of Ernie Shores came

0:30:05.480 --> 0:30:10.320
<v Speaker 7>into the contest. He retired twenty six consecutive batters, and

0:30:10.360 --> 0:30:13.560
<v Speaker 7>then Morgan was thrown out trying to steal second on

0:30:13.680 --> 0:30:16.480
<v Speaker 7>the really re first delivery. So you know, as it

0:30:16.520 --> 0:30:20.840
<v Speaker 7>turns out baseball's first combined no hitter with Babe Ruce

0:30:20.960 --> 0:30:23.560
<v Speaker 7>the starting pitcher thrown out of the game after facing

0:30:23.600 --> 0:30:25.640
<v Speaker 7>one batter, and he walked and argued on the call.

0:30:25.840 --> 0:30:28.000
<v Speaker 5>I wonder if the Babe went to the local tavern.

0:30:28.040 --> 0:30:29.360
<v Speaker 5>Did he ever see the end of the game.

0:30:29.400 --> 0:30:32.440
<v Speaker 7>He probably started to think. He probably did not wait

0:30:32.480 --> 0:30:34.720
<v Speaker 7>till the ninth in he was over before going out there.

0:30:34.800 --> 0:30:37.840
<v Speaker 7>He was a robust in his celebration of life.

0:30:37.960 --> 0:30:40.960
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, and that's another difference between him and Otani Clean

0:30:41.040 --> 0:30:44.200
<v Speaker 5>living for show. Hey, While Babe chose other ways to

0:30:44.240 --> 0:30:45.160
<v Speaker 5>get ready for games.

0:30:45.200 --> 0:30:47.479
<v Speaker 7>I'm about Otani last night, I mean he launched one.

0:30:47.680 --> 0:30:50.920
<v Speaker 7>I saw the replay today and there were some people

0:30:50.960 --> 0:30:54.000
<v Speaker 7>sitting in the front row behind home plate that I

0:30:54.040 --> 0:30:55.800
<v Speaker 7>was amazed. What happened was as soon as the ball

0:30:55.880 --> 0:30:58.040
<v Speaker 7>left the bat, you saw the heads of the people

0:30:58.120 --> 0:31:00.880
<v Speaker 7>the fans in this turned to their right as they're

0:31:01.000 --> 0:31:04.280
<v Speaker 7>behind home and watching it, and then one, two, three,

0:31:04.400 --> 0:31:09.320
<v Speaker 7>four almost gone cue their jaws dropped. Well, we experienced

0:31:09.320 --> 0:31:11.000
<v Speaker 7>that a lot when we see him come to home play.

0:31:11.080 --> 0:31:13.640
<v Speaker 5>You say this all the time, Rick, do not take

0:31:13.680 --> 0:31:14.160
<v Speaker 5>your eyes.

0:31:14.200 --> 0:31:16.280
<v Speaker 7>Take your eyes off of him, because you're liable to

0:31:16.320 --> 0:31:18.800
<v Speaker 7>see something that is very very special.

0:31:18.920 --> 0:31:21.520
<v Speaker 5>Whenever this game gets started, be in your seats and

0:31:21.560 --> 0:31:22.080
<v Speaker 5>be ready.

0:31:22.120 --> 0:31:24.960
<v Speaker 7>It's like tuning on the radio when David Vase is

0:31:24.960 --> 0:31:27.800
<v Speaker 7>going to be present, because you never know. You don't

0:31:27.800 --> 0:31:28.400
<v Speaker 7>want to miss it.

0:31:28.720 --> 0:31:31.120

<v Speaker 6>slash us. While this game will start in a rain,

0:31:43.720 --> 0:31:47.000
<v Speaker 6>delay as the Dodgers and Twins both await the weather

0:31:47.080 --> 0:31:51.520
<v Speaker 6>to blow through. When it does, we'll find out together.

0:31:51.800 --> 0:31:54.320

<v Speaker 3>jack on the official home of La Dodgers Baseball.

<v Speaker 6>Dodgers and Twins. Jess Robleski Kendre Rojas. The pitching matchup

0:32:16.840 --> 0:32:21.440
<v Speaker 6>first pitch from target Field was scheduled for four forty Pacific,

0:32:21.640 --> 0:32:24.640
<v Speaker 6>but the rain is causing that to be delayed. But

0:32:25.120 --> 0:32:29.600
<v Speaker 6>first pitch now officially scheduled for five oh five Pacific

<v Speaker 6>seven oh five Central time in Minneapolis.

0:32:54.600 --> 0:32:57.720
<v Speaker 5>Well, I finally cornered Kyle Tucker. He's got nowhere to

0:32:57.760 --> 0:33:01.200

<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I know right, you're buckled in. They you can't

0:33:09.240 --> 0:33:10.880
<v Speaker 5>go anywhere. You're stuck talking to me.

0:33:11.760 --> 0:33:13.160
<v Speaker 10>Oh perfect, right where I want to be.

0:33:14.040 --> 0:33:16.360
<v Speaker 5>So what's this machine doing for your back? Right now?

0:33:16.800 --> 0:33:19.520
<v Speaker 10>It's just like a PMF machine. It just kind of

0:33:19.520 --> 0:33:22.719
<v Speaker 10>just pulses. So there's like a couple of different like

0:33:23.240 --> 0:33:25.160
<v Speaker 10>attachments that you can do to it, and a couple

0:33:25.200 --> 0:33:29.160
<v Speaker 10>guy like a couple of guys mostly pictures kind of

0:33:29.240 --> 0:33:32.680
<v Speaker 10>use it. But it's just kind of like the electromagnetic

0:33:32.800 --> 0:33:36.440
<v Speaker 10>waves and pulses through you. So I just came came here,

0:33:36.520 --> 0:33:38.800
<v Speaker 10>sat down for a little bit to use it, and.

0:33:38.720 --> 0:33:41.360
<v Speaker 5>Then I saw you, and then I saw Tommy Edmund

0:33:41.440 --> 0:33:42.400
<v Speaker 5>doing this yesterday.

0:33:42.560 --> 0:33:44.160
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, it's not bad. I mean you just kind of

0:33:44.160 --> 0:33:46.280
<v Speaker 10>sit down, hang out and let it, let it do

0:33:46.320 --> 0:33:46.640
<v Speaker 10>his thing.

0:33:46.920 --> 0:33:49.840
<v Speaker 5>How's the bag feeling today? You're not in the starting lineup.

0:33:50.280 --> 0:33:52.600
<v Speaker 5>Good day to choose not to be in the starting

0:33:52.640 --> 0:33:54.880
<v Speaker 5>lineup with this rain. But how's the bag feeling.

0:33:55.120 --> 0:33:57.920
<v Speaker 10>It feels better. Kind of locked up yesterday and was

0:33:58.000 --> 0:34:00.400
<v Speaker 10>kind of tight and sore. Today it's better, uh so,

0:34:00.600 --> 0:34:03.560
<v Speaker 10>kind of sore and bothers to kind of rotate a

0:34:03.560 --> 0:34:06.080
<v Speaker 10>little bit, but it's better than yesterday. So that's that's

0:34:06.080 --> 0:34:06.800
<v Speaker 10>good improvement.

0:34:07.280 --> 0:34:07.560
<v Speaker 2>Kyle.

0:34:07.640 --> 0:34:09.560
<v Speaker 5>Okay, A lot of people have asked you a lot

0:34:09.560 --> 0:34:13.080
<v Speaker 5>of different questions that I'm not sure I would ask

0:34:13.440 --> 0:34:15.520
<v Speaker 5>as far as your hitting goes. But I do have

0:34:15.600 --> 0:34:19.200
<v Speaker 5>specific questions to ask you that nobody's asked. Number One,

0:34:19.800 --> 0:34:21.960
<v Speaker 5>you're swinging at the first pitch more than you ever

0:34:22.000 --> 0:34:24.680
<v Speaker 5>have in your career. Why do you think that is?

0:34:27.040 --> 0:34:29.080
<v Speaker 10>I was I think at the beginning of the season.

0:34:29.480 --> 0:34:31.080
<v Speaker 10>I mean, it kind of just depends. I mean, if

0:34:31.400 --> 0:34:33.440
<v Speaker 10>sometimes that's the best pitch you're going to get in

0:34:33.480 --> 0:34:38.880
<v Speaker 10>that bat, I mean, if they're throwing it in the

0:34:38.920 --> 0:34:41.319
<v Speaker 10>middle ish part of the zone, like I might as

0:34:41.320 --> 0:34:43.880
<v Speaker 10>well swing at that, then take that and then have

0:34:43.920 --> 0:34:45.680
<v Speaker 10>to swing at pitches on the corner. So I just

0:34:45.680 --> 0:34:48.560
<v Speaker 10>gotta probably do a little bit petter job at not

0:34:48.680 --> 0:34:49.799
<v Speaker 10>missing those ones.

0:34:49.880 --> 0:34:52.279
<v Speaker 5>I guess. Dave Roberts said yesterday, you're a guy that

0:34:53.080 --> 0:34:56.680
<v Speaker 5>would run counts deep, you know, be very selective. Do

0:34:56.719 --> 0:34:58.799
<v Speaker 5>you feel like if you get back to doing that

0:34:58.960 --> 0:35:02.240
<v Speaker 5>and maybe going back to who Kyle Tucker was swinging

0:35:02.280 --> 0:35:04.920
<v Speaker 5>at the first pitch thirty four percent of the time,

0:35:05.480 --> 0:35:07.400
<v Speaker 5>that could help you moving forward.

0:35:08.400 --> 0:35:09.879
<v Speaker 10>I mean it just depends. I mean, if you get

0:35:09.920 --> 0:35:12.960
<v Speaker 10>first pitched fastball in the middle, I mean that, like

0:35:12.960 --> 0:35:14.359
<v Speaker 10>I said, that could be the best pitch that you're

0:35:14.360 --> 0:35:16.200
<v Speaker 10>gonna see that at bat, So you just take your

0:35:16.280 --> 0:35:18.560
<v Speaker 10>chances of that, and you know, if they throw something

0:35:18.560 --> 0:35:21.440
<v Speaker 10>out of the zone, then you can work deeper into accounts.

0:35:21.440 --> 0:35:24.480
<v Speaker 10>So it kind of just depends on the ad bat

0:35:24.480 --> 0:35:27.120
<v Speaker 10>and how it goes. I mean, if you have four

0:35:27.239 --> 0:35:30.320
<v Speaker 10>bats and the first pitch is all you know, fastball

0:35:30.400 --> 0:35:33.320
<v Speaker 10>or something right down the middle, and you see four pitches,

0:35:33.400 --> 0:35:34.920
<v Speaker 10>like I mean, you at least swung at the ones

0:35:34.960 --> 0:35:38.319
<v Speaker 10>you wanted to swing at. It just kind of as

0:35:38.360 --> 0:35:40.239
<v Speaker 10>a matter of fact of putting the barrel to the

0:35:40.239 --> 0:35:42.640
<v Speaker 10>ball a little bit better and making things happen.

0:35:42.840 --> 0:35:45.160
<v Speaker 5>Do you feel like pitchers are pitching you differently this

0:35:45.239 --> 0:35:48.400
<v Speaker 5>year because it feels like those first pitches are a

0:35:48.440 --> 0:35:51.480
<v Speaker 5>lot more spin than they were fastballs in years past.

0:35:52.360 --> 0:35:56.200
<v Speaker 10>I think it just depends. I mean, I'm sure teams

0:35:56.200 --> 0:35:58.680
<v Speaker 10>look at how other teams fitch me and see whatever

0:35:58.840 --> 0:36:03.960
<v Speaker 10>success that someone's had or what worked, so kind kind

0:36:03.960 --> 0:36:06.640
<v Speaker 10>of just depends on the pitcher or the catcher and

0:36:06.680 --> 0:36:08.600
<v Speaker 10>like the team and their game plan and stuff. So

0:36:10.160 --> 0:36:12.879
<v Speaker 10>I remember, regardless, I can got to hit it either way.

0:36:13.360 --> 0:36:17.680
<v Speaker 5>All right, here's a right, Hey, Miguel Rojas endorsing this

0:36:17.760 --> 0:36:20.880
<v Speaker 5>interview right now in the rain delay with Kyle Tucker. Okay,

0:36:20.920 --> 0:36:24.200
<v Speaker 5>so here's another one everybody trying to diagnose. Be Kyle

0:36:24.280 --> 0:36:27.640
<v Speaker 5>Tucker's number one hitting coach no more. Garcia Para did

0:36:27.680 --> 0:36:30.480
<v Speaker 5>a whole thing on TV about just the way that

0:36:30.640 --> 0:36:33.239
<v Speaker 5>your stride seems to be more than it has been

0:36:33.280 --> 0:36:36.560
<v Speaker 5>in years past. Is that something that you're conscious of,

0:36:36.719 --> 0:36:39.000
<v Speaker 5>Is it something that you're trying to shorten up? What

0:36:39.040 --> 0:36:42.479
<v Speaker 5>do you say about the stride being too big this year?

0:36:43.560 --> 0:36:46.280
<v Speaker 10>I mean, I'm sure it has, I mean has varied

0:36:46.360 --> 0:36:50.439
<v Speaker 10>throughout my career. And sometimes I'm taller, sometimes I'm more

0:36:50.480 --> 0:36:53.360
<v Speaker 10>closed or open. Sometimes its strides a little bit bigger, shorter.

0:36:53.640 --> 0:36:56.920
<v Speaker 10>Kind of just depends, and honestly, whatever's feeling right that

0:36:57.080 --> 0:36:59.799
<v Speaker 10>day or whatever's working at the time. I just kind

0:36:59.800 --> 0:37:02.920
<v Speaker 10>of ride with it. But this year I've kind of

0:37:02.920 --> 0:37:06.920
<v Speaker 10>been searching for what's worked and trying to make that

0:37:06.960 --> 0:37:09.520
<v Speaker 10>consistent every single time. So it's kind of just been

0:37:10.080 --> 0:37:12.520
<v Speaker 10>trying to find something that's that's working and just trying

0:37:12.520 --> 0:37:13.239
<v Speaker 10>and hold on to it.

0:37:13.560 --> 0:37:15.880
<v Speaker 5>The last day at home, I thought it was amazing.

0:37:15.960 --> 0:37:18.600
<v Speaker 5>I was waiting for you, Tucker, in front of your locker,

0:37:18.640 --> 0:37:21.319
<v Speaker 5>and I was told that right after the final out

0:37:21.360 --> 0:37:23.520
<v Speaker 5>of the game, you went into the cage to work

0:37:23.560 --> 0:37:27.000
<v Speaker 5>to try to figure out whatever You're trying to figure out.

0:37:27.239 --> 0:37:30.160
<v Speaker 5>Where does that come from? And do you believe too

0:37:30.239 --> 0:37:32.240
<v Speaker 5>many swings can be counterproductive?

0:37:33.000 --> 0:37:34.160
<v Speaker 10>I mean maybe at times.

0:37:34.239 --> 0:37:34.800
<v Speaker 7>I mean.

0:37:36.120 --> 0:37:37.759
<v Speaker 10>I mean I've hit after the game a couple of times,

0:37:37.840 --> 0:37:40.240
<v Speaker 10>just trying to figure it out or hoping that something

0:37:40.280 --> 0:37:42.520
<v Speaker 10>clicks so I go into the next day feeling better.

0:37:44.920 --> 0:37:47.880
<v Speaker 10>So I mean, I mean hittings that constantly trying to

0:37:47.880 --> 0:37:51.120
<v Speaker 10>get better. You're never gonna be perfect, but I'm just

0:37:51.120 --> 0:37:52.840
<v Speaker 10>trying to find something that helps.

0:37:53.160 --> 0:37:55.720
<v Speaker 5>I feel like All Star Break could help you reset,

0:37:55.840 --> 0:37:58.360
<v Speaker 5>clear your mind, not have to talk to people like

0:37:58.440 --> 0:38:02.760
<v Speaker 5>David Vass saying come back Yankee Stadium and be Kyle Tucker.

0:38:03.160 --> 0:38:05.400
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, I mean Obviously, I'd like to not have the

0:38:05.440 --> 0:38:07.360
<v Speaker 10>time off there an ulcer break, because that means you

0:38:08.120 --> 0:38:09.680
<v Speaker 10>played pretty well in the first half and you get the

0:38:09.680 --> 0:38:13.000
<v Speaker 10>opportunity to play in the Oscar game. But She's kind

0:38:13.040 --> 0:38:16.200
<v Speaker 10>of most important thing is just trying to play better

0:38:16.239 --> 0:38:17.960
<v Speaker 10>throughout the year, get to the playoffs and really take

0:38:18.000 --> 0:38:18.440
<v Speaker 10>off from there.

0:38:18.760 --> 0:38:22.000
<v Speaker 5>It feels like your teammates have continued to support you,

0:38:22.080 --> 0:38:24.120
<v Speaker 5>love on you. How much has that meant?

0:38:24.920 --> 0:38:25.360
<v Speaker 4>That's awesome.

0:38:25.400 --> 0:38:28.239
<v Speaker 10>I mean this team is full of great talent and

0:38:28.280 --> 0:38:30.440

<v Speaker 6>coming up through the Toronto Blue Jays system before he

0:40:21.200 --> 0:40:23.800
<v Speaker 6>was traded to the Twins last year at the deadline.

0:40:24.000 --> 0:40:26.399
<v Speaker 6>No wins, no losses, but a one twenty six erra.

0:40:26.920 --> 0:40:29.200

<v Speaker 6>seing fastball, which is averaging ninety six miles per hour

0:40:40.280 --> 0:40:42.560
<v Speaker 6>and holding opposing hitters to a one to eight team

0:40:42.680 --> 0:40:45.719
<v Speaker 6>batting average. He makes his return from the injured list,

<v Speaker 6>and an inning in a third and a rehab appearance

0:40:58.480 --> 0:41:01.120
<v Speaker 6>please enough with this velocity and man, so they brought

0:41:01.200 --> 0:41:03.640
<v Speaker 6>him back and activated him off the il. He gets
