Over the next hour here 0:01:31.400 --> 0:01:34.080 on Morago Casino, Dodgers on deck. We got a lot 0:01:34.120 --> 0:01:36.200 to get to. We're gonna hear from the manager himself, 0:01:36.319 --> 0:01:39.959 Dave Roberts. We'll dive deeper into this pitching matchup tonight. 0:01:40.080 --> 0:01:42.959 David Vase is going to join us throughout the hour. 0:01:43.040 --> 0:01:45.440 Of course, we got your Dodgers magical moment. He'll go 0:01:45.440 --> 0:01:49.400 one on one with Clayton McCullough, Marlins manager, former Dodgers 0:01:49.520 --> 0:01:53.320 first base coach, bound back at Dodger Stadium with his team. Shortly, 0:01:53.320 --> 0:01:55.720 we'll visit with Kirsten Watson and at just a few 0:01:55.720 --> 0:01:58.600 minutes we'll head out to Charlie Steiner and Rick Monday 0:01:59.000 --> 0:02:02.560 in the gaalpin Ford Broadcast booth. Well, yesterday at the Ravine, 0:02:03.240 --> 0:02:07.000 Justin Robleski would end up going six innings, no runs, 0:02:07.400 --> 0:02:11.040 four hits, He walked four, had traffic on the bases 0:02:11.040 --> 0:02:14.799 almost every single inning. Walk that tight rope for six innings, 0:02:14.880 --> 0:02:17.640 striking out six along the way, but he would have 0:02:17.639 --> 0:02:20.600 put up zeros on the scoreboard. Meanwhile, the Dodgers offense 0:02:20.720 --> 0:02:23.640 last night, Andy Pajez got the party started in the 0:02:23.639 --> 0:02:26.800 first of the Sacfly scoring show Hey Dodgers grabbed a 0:02:26.840 --> 0:02:30.320 one nothing lead. Then Mcguel Rojas. 0:02:29.800 --> 0:02:32.799 Double the lead, second and third, two out, one ball, 0:02:32.880 --> 0:02:37.440 no strikes. Imnauga comes home and Rojas wraps it in 0:02:37.480 --> 0:02:39.960 the ear to left field going after it has happened, 0:02:39.960 --> 0:02:42.760 it's over his head. Hey one hops off the wall, 0:02:43.080 --> 0:02:45.880 hurt in his scores tuckered US two a. 0:02:46.000 --> 0:02:50.480 Two run double, Poor Miguel Rojas. Niggie ro drives in 0:02:50.520 --> 0:02:53.640 the pairs. That Dodgers scored three runs in the first 0:02:53.680 --> 0:02:56.080 inning jump out to the three to nothing lead. That 0:02:56.240 --> 0:02:59.079 was more than enough for Justin Robleski, who again had 0:02:59.120 --> 0:03:03.040 traffic on the base, But the Chicago Cubs just could 0:03:03.080 --> 0:03:05.600 not get the hit when they needed it. As Robleski 0:03:05.680 --> 0:03:08.320 got out of jam after jam, twelve runners left on 0:03:08.400 --> 0:03:11.080 base for the Cubbies. They were zero for eight with 0:03:11.240 --> 0:03:13.959 runners in scoring position. The Dodgers will take it into six, 0:03:14.040 --> 0:03:17.079 Dodgers added them to the lead thanks to Dalton rushing 0:03:18.040 --> 0:03:18.440 three and. 0:03:18.440 --> 0:03:22.120 Two on Dalton rushing, the one hundredth pitch of the 0:03:22.200 --> 0:03:26.480 afternoon from Chota Imanaga is hit on the ground through 0:03:26.560 --> 0:03:30.480 the right side pa his scores. Tucker will stop at third. 0:03:30.960 --> 0:03:34.000 It's an RBI base hit for rushing and now the 0:03:34.080 --> 0:03:35.440 Dodgers leave by four. 0:03:36.120 --> 0:03:40.560 Dalton rushing with the RBIs single number sixteen on the season. 0:03:40.600 --> 0:03:42.960 Dodgers a four to nothing in lead. They would tack 0:03:43.040 --> 0:03:45.800 on one more on an air, making it five to nothing. 0:03:45.920 --> 0:03:50.040 Then in the seventh show, Hey Otany with a home run, 0:03:50.160 --> 0:03:52.480 his sixth of the year. He goes three for three 0:03:52.560 --> 0:03:54.800 on the day with the home run, drives in a 0:03:54.840 --> 0:03:57.640 g run as the Dodgers go on and shut out 0:03:57.680 --> 0:04:02.000 the Chicago Cubs six to nothing. Your final and that 0:04:02.240 --> 0:04:04.080 is the top tier play the game, brought to you 0:04:04.160 --> 0:04:07.560 by Arco quality, top tier gas for less. Robleski would 0:04:07.600 --> 0:04:11.160 go the six shutout Indians and Guardo Enriquez came in, 0:04:11.320 --> 0:04:14.040 walked a couple of runners in the seventh, but was 0:04:14.080 --> 0:04:16.880 able to get out of it. Jack Dryer came in 0:04:17.000 --> 0:04:19.240 pitched the eighth. Kyle Hurt pitched the ninth put up 0:04:19.240 --> 0:04:21.800 a zero as well on five pitches. That's all it 0:04:21.839 --> 0:04:26.080 took him. As the Dodgers bullpen helps out Justin Robleski 0:04:26.320 --> 0:04:29.240 to improve the four to zero on this season, his 0:04:29.360 --> 0:04:33.279 longest outing one hundred and nine pitches thrown by Justin Robletski. 0:04:33.520 --> 0:04:35.960 As the Dodgers take two or three from Chicago, they're 0:04:35.960 --> 0:04:38.960 now nineteen and nine overall on this season. As the 0:04:39.040 --> 0:04:43.280 homestead continues to night with Yoshinobu Yamamoto on the mound, 0:04:43.480 --> 0:04:45.640 first pitch at seven ten and with more we head 0:04:45.640 --> 0:04:48.039 out to the gallopin four broadcast booth as we welcome 0:04:48.080 --> 0:04:50.120 in Charlie Steiner and Rick Monday. 0:04:50.160 --> 0:04:53.000 Guys, All right, Tim, The Dodgers begin the night nineteen 0:04:53.160 --> 0:04:55.960 and nine back in first place by themselves a half 0:04:56.000 --> 0:04:58.880 a game in front of the Podras eleven and four 0:04:58.960 --> 0:05:01.679 at home this year, and after that six to nothing 0:05:01.720 --> 0:05:05.120 shut out of the Cubs yesterday behind rob Lusky, the 0:05:05.240 --> 0:05:07.640 Dodgers look like the Dodgers again. 0:05:08.040 --> 0:05:10.000 Well, They're started to do it in both signes. First 0:05:10.040 --> 0:05:11.800 of all, they outscored the Cubs each of the last 0:05:11.839 --> 0:05:14.640 two games by a total of eighteen to four. They 0:05:14.680 --> 0:05:16.880 out hit them on top of it. They were much 0:05:16.960 --> 0:05:19.440 much better with runners in scoring position. Oh, by the way, 0:05:19.880 --> 0:05:22.000 they got very good pitching, including out of the bullpen, 0:05:22.080 --> 0:05:24.480 which has kind of turned things around. And on top 0:05:24.520 --> 0:05:27.039 of that, they returned to first place a half game 0:05:27.080 --> 0:05:28.120 in front of San Diego. 0:05:28.480 --> 0:05:31.320 What's your take on Roblusky each time he goes out 0:05:31.839 --> 0:05:33.920 is more confident and simply pitching. 0:05:34.000 --> 0:05:36.560 Well. I read a quote that was talking about he 0:05:36.680 --> 0:05:40.440 was looked at as a stopgap until some other starting pitcher. 0:05:40.440 --> 0:05:43.320 Blake Snell probably the closest to coming back. He's on 0:05:43.400 --> 0:05:46.680 a rehab start very very soon. But if you look 0:05:46.720 --> 0:05:50.279 at Robleski, he's become more than just a stopgap. He 0:05:50.320 --> 0:05:53.120 has entered into conversation as if he is going to 0:05:53.200 --> 0:05:54.679 possibly stay in the rotation. 0:05:55.080 --> 0:05:58.240 And then there there. Marlins are at thirteen and fifteen. 0:05:58.839 --> 0:06:01.440 They began the year eight and five in their first 0:06:01.480 --> 0:06:04.680 thirteen games, but they've gone five to ten in their 0:06:04.760 --> 0:06:08.120 last fifteen. And this is a team that Dodgers frankly 0:06:08.200 --> 0:06:09.480 have dominated over the year. 0:06:09.600 --> 0:06:11.760 Yeah, they have. They've had very good luck, but that's 0:06:11.760 --> 0:06:14.200 in the past and we're going to have tonight to 0:06:14.440 --> 0:06:16.559 begin in the future. As far as the three games 0:06:16.560 --> 0:06:19.000 again back to back night games in a day game, 0:06:19.040 --> 0:06:21.479 and then there's an off day. The Dodgers then pack 0:06:21.560 --> 0:06:23.200 up in the going the road. Doesn't seem like they've 0:06:23.240 --> 0:06:25.640 been home very long, but they'll be taking off and 0:06:25.720 --> 0:06:28.200 going to Saint Louis in Houston before coming back, and 0:06:28.240 --> 0:06:31.479 then they have much talked about it Atlanta. Rains will 0:06:31.480 --> 0:06:33.520 come in, but that's the way down the road. The 0:06:33.560 --> 0:06:36.520 Dodgers have some ball games to play and win, starting 0:06:36.520 --> 0:06:37.400 tonight again. 0:06:37.320 --> 0:06:41.080 You were mentioning how the Dodgers have been finally grabbing 0:06:41.120 --> 0:06:44.640 the bull by the horns, both with the bat and pitching. 0:06:45.000 --> 0:06:48.560 Dodgers lead major League Baseball with a two seventy eighteen 0:06:48.640 --> 0:06:52.599 batting average, most home runs forty five, three point fifty 0:06:52.680 --> 0:06:56.400 five on base percentage, the most extra base hits ninety four. 0:06:56.880 --> 0:07:01.039 The starting pitching er is two seventy nine, and since 0:07:01.080 --> 0:07:03.160 April the sixth, they've given. 0:07:03.000 --> 0:07:05.120 Up twenty eight earn runs eighty one. 0:07:05.040 --> 0:07:09.000 Hits, and the Dodgers starters are ten and two in 0:07:09.080 --> 0:07:10.480 their last nineteen stars. 0:07:10.560 --> 0:07:13.160 Yeah, and that's starting pitching. That era that's the best 0:07:13.160 --> 0:07:15.840 in baseball overall. That era is third best in Major 0:07:15.920 --> 0:07:17.960 League Baseball. So they're getting it done. A lot of 0:07:18.000 --> 0:07:21.360 different areas including well, as you mentioned some of the 0:07:21.400 --> 0:07:23.880 other numbers, the one number that does not really stick 0:07:23.920 --> 0:07:27.480 out in the upper echelon, and that's stolen bases. You know, 0:07:27.680 --> 0:07:29.720 they're not a ball club that that steals a lot 0:07:29.760 --> 0:07:32.040 of bases. They are going to be facing a team 0:07:32.120 --> 0:07:35.760 tonight that does. The Marlins. They put runners into motion. 0:07:35.840 --> 0:07:38.640 They've stolen thirty one bases already this year. 0:07:38.800 --> 0:07:42.120 And one final note about Otani three for three a walking, 0:07:42.160 --> 0:07:46.000 a home run yesterday, ending his twelve game horrorless streak. 0:07:46.240 --> 0:07:49.040 You've gone fifty nine plate appearances without hitting one out, 0:07:49.280 --> 0:07:53.320 and it's looking like he's finally beginning to find his 0:07:53.400 --> 0:07:54.040 way off thatense. 0:07:54.040 --> 0:07:56.520 You know, many times we talk about pitchers maybe getting 0:07:56.600 --> 0:07:59.120 involved too much with the mechanics as they're actually trying 0:07:59.160 --> 0:08:01.320 to deliver the ball. Was a show, hey o Tani 0:08:01.400 --> 0:08:03.680 thinking too much about mechanics when he was trying to 0:08:03.760 --> 0:08:06.200 hit the ball. I don't know on that end of it, 0:08:06.280 --> 0:08:09.760 but we're beginning to now see much better swings. And 0:08:09.840 --> 0:08:12.640 speaking of swings, Will Smith will start to swing again. 0:08:12.720 --> 0:08:14.920 He's back in the starting lineup. A little stiffness in 0:08:14.960 --> 0:08:17.200 the back, missed a couple of games. He's going to 0:08:17.240 --> 0:08:20.160 bat third tonight. Max Bunsey returns the lineup, so he 0:08:20.200 --> 0:08:23.400 had Hassan Kim at short stuff and Alex Freeland again 0:08:23.600 --> 0:08:25.360 at second base, first. 0:08:25.040 --> 0:08:28.000 Of three the Dodgers and the Marlins Lineup's the first 0:08:28.040 --> 0:08:29.240 pitch right around the corner. 0:08:29.280 --> 0:08:32.160 Tim, all right, thank you, Charlie, looking forward to that 0:08:32.400 --> 0:08:34.480 as we call you down to first pitch.

It kicks in the 0:09:54.679 --> 0:09:58.040 shallow left field and now he's running for third, so 0:09:58.200 --> 0:10:00.600 it's just stolen base. And then it's good.

The Dodgers fresh off taking two to 0:11:29.360 --> 0:11:32.720 three from the Chicago Cubs and the offense really starting 0:11:32.720 --> 0:11:33.560 to come to life. 0:11:34.240 --> 0:11:35.280 Yeah, they really are. 0:11:35.360 --> 0:11:37.480 When you look at the last two games at specific, 0:11:37.720 --> 0:11:40.840 this team had eighteen runs on twenty one hit, so 0:11:40.880 --> 0:11:43.360 that's averaging about nine runs per game. Obviously, we saw 0:11:43.360 --> 0:11:46.520 the offense breakout yesterday and the day before, but before that, 0:11:46.600 --> 0:11:48.920 when we ended the road trip in San Francisco came 0:11:49.120 --> 0:11:50.559 here to start the series with the. 0:11:50.520 --> 0:11:52.400 Cubs, things were still a little bit. 0:11:52.400 --> 0:11:53.440 Slower for the offense. 0:11:53.440 --> 0:11:55.480 Even talking with shoe Hey, o Tani or guys like 0:11:55.559 --> 0:11:58.320 Kyle Tucker, you know, they were just feeling like they're 0:11:58.360 --> 0:12:01.120 working through a few things or not they'd normally like 0:12:01.240 --> 0:12:03.319 to be, but they felt like they were getting closer 0:12:03.400 --> 0:12:06.120 and closer. Now it does feel like they've gotten to 0:12:06.160 --> 0:12:08.199 that point, Dave Roberts earlier tonight, so that he feels 0:12:08.200 --> 0:12:10.760 like the pit selection is in a much better position. 0:12:10.800 --> 0:12:13.319 They're not being indecisive when they're reading the pitches kind 0:12:13.320 --> 0:12:16.360 of at the plate. The quality of bats has been there. 0:12:16.400 --> 0:12:18.200 Of course, they've been getting on base, taking their walks 0:12:18.240 --> 0:12:20.320 when need be, but now we're just seeing that the 0:12:20.360 --> 0:12:22.880 swing is in so much of a better position. Even 0:12:22.920 --> 0:12:27.439 show Hey last night was saying that the change that 0:12:27.520 --> 0:12:31.360 he made was more kind of with his upper half positioning, 0:12:31.720 --> 0:12:33.480 and that has allowed for him to just be in 0:12:33.520 --> 0:12:36.160 a better position and more on time. So the guys 0:12:36.200 --> 0:12:38.439 feel really good right now, and Dave Roberts has made 0:12:38.440 --> 0:12:41.000 it clear that he does believe just from what he's 0:12:41.000 --> 0:12:43.400 seen in the last two games, he expects to see 0:12:43.440 --> 0:12:45.880 some more consistency, especially from the top of the. 0:12:45.880 --> 0:12:46.840 Order moving forward. 0:12:47.080 --> 0:12:48.719 Well, the guy at the top of the lineup is 0:12:48.840 --> 0:12:52.160 show Hey Otani. He's in there tonight as a designated hitter. 0:12:52.320 --> 0:12:54.880 He'll be on the mound tomorrow night in game two 0:12:55.280 --> 0:12:58.240 of this three game series against Miami, but we may 0:12:58.280 --> 0:12:59.360 not see him hit. 0:13:00.320 --> 0:13:03.440 Yeah, you know what, So obviously we've seen this this time. 0:13:03.679 --> 0:13:06.679 We've seen it this year before in which they decided 0:13:06.720 --> 0:13:09.440 to only have him focusing on pitching and as the starter. 0:13:09.600 --> 0:13:12.920 So that was a question for tomorrow, especially considering so 0:13:12.960 --> 0:13:15.320 sho haa Toni. Typically they've had him on like six 0:13:15.480 --> 0:13:18.240 seven day rest, pitching once a week. They've been trying 0:13:18.280 --> 0:13:21.120 to have it so that he's pitching so that it's 0:13:21.160 --> 0:13:25.160 teed up to next one off day. But with considering 0:13:25.400 --> 0:13:28.040 how many pitches Tyler Blaster through his last outing, and 0:13:28.040 --> 0:13:30.280 they didn't want to switch the two of them again. 0:13:30.840 --> 0:13:34.080 So he's going to be on regular five day rest tomorrow, 0:13:34.080 --> 0:13:36.360 and so Dave Roberts was asked, you know, could this 0:13:36.440 --> 0:13:39.200 be a situation in which, as you guys have been talking, 0:13:39.280 --> 0:13:41.040 maybe you would move him on to the leadoff spot 0:13:41.280 --> 0:13:44.640 or you just have him not DH, and he said 0:13:45.240 --> 0:13:48.080 it is under consideration. It's all very much on the 0:13:48.120 --> 0:13:51.160 table right now. Obviously, shohe has been very open to 0:13:51.559 --> 0:13:54.800 the conversations that they've been having. So he said this 0:13:54.840 --> 0:13:56.840 a possibility. He didn't want to give away too many 0:13:56.840 --> 0:13:59.360 things just yet. He did add that if he is 0:13:59.440 --> 0:14:01.320 to D eight, just think he would be batting lead up. 0:14:01.320 --> 0:14:02.320 They're not gonna move him in. 0:14:02.320 --> 0:14:03.600 The order just yet. 0:14:03.960 --> 0:14:06.600 But it does feel like there could be a world 0:14:06.600 --> 0:14:09.400 in which we see, especially considering he's on short rest, 0:14:10.160 --> 0:14:12.439 there's a world in which he may not be the DH, 0:14:12.720 --> 0:14:13.360 just the pitcher. 0:14:13.400 --> 0:14:13.880 Tomorrow. 0:14:14.280 --> 0:14:16.680 We shall see. No matter what, we'll see him leading 0:14:16.720 --> 0:14:19.080 off with the Dodgers tonight. Kirson. We appreciate it. We'll 0:14:19.160 --> 0:14:20.680 check in with you after the game.

I think 0:16:39.400 --> 0:16:41.600 Tayo's done a good job of that, you know, last 0:16:41.680 --> 0:16:46.200 couple of nights, and you know, being able to hit 0:16:46.200 --> 0:16:48.840 to all fields, and it's kind of you know, right now, 0:16:49.040 --> 0:16:51.960 I think we're leading baseball and batting average, which I 0:16:51.960 --> 0:16:54.040 think is a good thing in the sense of being 0:16:54.040 --> 0:16:56.080 able to hit outfield grass, put the ball in play. 0:16:58.080 --> 0:17:01.360 And so for me, hopefully we can continue to stay 0:17:01.360 --> 0:17:04.080 on that track with what you've seen the. 0:17:04.119 --> 0:17:07.360 Show, Hey, Kyle, maybe these little few adjustment in those 0:17:07.400 --> 0:17:09.840 two specimically getting back on track, you do there now in. 0:17:09.880 --> 0:17:10.840 A good spot that they. 0:17:10.720 --> 0:17:12.600 Can be a little bit more consistent. I do. 0:17:12.800 --> 0:17:15.920 I do. I think that, you know, with show Hey, 0:17:16.240 --> 0:17:18.760 I think that his decision making has been better the 0:17:18.800 --> 0:17:22.600 last couple of nights a couple of days, And with Kyle, 0:17:22.640 --> 0:17:25.200 I think the quality of contact and decision making has 0:17:25.240 --> 0:17:27.440 been better. So yeah, when you get those two guys 0:17:27.440 --> 0:17:30.040 doing what they're supposed to do, it sort of makes uh, 0:17:30.600 --> 0:17:31.960 you know, the lineup that much better. 0:17:32.040 --> 0:17:34.400 All right, there's a manager, Dave Roberts with some pregame 0:17:34.440 --> 0:17:37.360 thoughts as we continue here on Marago Casino Dodgers on Deck. 0:17:37.359 --> 0:17:40.040 We'll check you out with David Vasse as we lead 0:17:40.119 --> 0:17:43.720 job to first page Dodgers and Marlins from Uniclow Field 0:17:43.720 --> 0:17:46.000 at Dodgers Stadium.

Remember, 0:19:44.240 --> 0:19:47.720 Andrew told us over the weekend that the bone chip 0:19:47.880 --> 0:19:52.520 was pressing up against the tricep muscle of Edwin Diaz's 0:19:52.600 --> 0:19:56.760 right arm, but nowhere near any tendons. So that's a 0:19:56.800 --> 0:19:59.600 great relief for Diaz and the Dodgers. 0:20:00.400 --> 0:20:02.640 I guess I think my emotion was a little way 0:20:03.160 --> 0:20:06.240 short and on normal.
