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

0:00:03.440 --> 0:00:05.680
<v Speaker 2>One of the greatest runs in the history of baseball.

0:00:05.720 --> 0:00:12.119
<v Speaker 1>Immortality is within their reach. Incredible and while others make excuses.

0:00:11.680 --> 0:00:13.600
<v Speaker 3>The only reason the Dodgers are doing this is because

0:00:13.600 --> 0:00:14.680
<v Speaker 3>they can. They print money.

0:00:14.680 --> 0:00:16.440
<v Speaker 1>The Dodgers just can't continue.

0:00:16.480 --> 0:00:17.200
<v Speaker 3>It's not fair.

0:00:17.400 --> 0:00:18.520
<v Speaker 1>Are making plans.

0:00:19.040 --> 0:00:24.040
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it's a singular focus on controlling what they can control.

0:00:24.400 --> 0:00:27.960

<v Speaker 5>series opener, the Dodgers blew.

0:01:00.360 --> 0:01:02.120

<v Speaker 5>stop by from Sports Net LA and it's just a

0:01:34.080 --> 0:01:36.040
<v Speaker 5>few minutes. We will check in with Tim Nevererd and

0:01:36.120 --> 0:01:38.800
<v Speaker 5>Rick Monday out the gallopin Ford Broadcast booth.

0:01:38.800 --> 0:01:40.440
<v Speaker 3>Well, last night, the Dodgers.

0:01:40.040 --> 0:01:42.360
<v Speaker 5>Jumped out to the early lead and then a bigger

0:01:42.440 --> 0:01:46.240
<v Speaker 5>lead late, only to see that lead fall apart and

0:01:46.280 --> 0:01:49.720
<v Speaker 5>the game fall apart. Thanks to the Dodgers' bullpen. Dodgers

0:01:49.720 --> 0:01:53.000
<v Speaker 5>got on the board early. Max Munsey RBI double in

0:01:53.040 --> 0:01:56.560
<v Speaker 5>the fourth gave the Dodgers a one to nothing lead.

0:01:56.720 --> 0:01:59.279
<v Speaker 5>Than the next batter, Kyle Tucker doubled it up.

0:02:00.240 --> 0:02:02.880
<v Speaker 2>Count for Jones, getting a little higher than the Pirates like,

0:02:02.920 --> 0:02:05.840
<v Speaker 2>here's the pitch and Tucker swings hits the ball into

0:02:05.960 --> 0:02:09.200
<v Speaker 2>center field of base hit around third comes Moncie. He

0:02:09.320 --> 0:02:13.640
<v Speaker 2>will score and on a full count, Kyle Tucker strokes

0:02:13.639 --> 0:02:15.840
<v Speaker 2>one up the middle for an RBI single and the

0:02:15.960 --> 0:02:17.320
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers lead it to nothing.

0:02:18.360 --> 0:02:22.120
<v Speaker 5>Kyle Tucker delivers with the RBI single back up the middle,

0:02:22.160 --> 0:02:24.880
<v Speaker 5>Dodgers with a two to nothing in lead. That lead

0:02:25.000 --> 0:02:27.560
<v Speaker 5>was cut in half a home run by the Buckos

0:02:27.560 --> 0:02:29.520
<v Speaker 5>in the bottom half of the fourth inning. Dodgers up

0:02:29.520 --> 0:02:32.560
<v Speaker 5>two to one. Still within reach was Pittsburgh. Going to

0:02:32.600 --> 0:02:35.160
<v Speaker 5>the top half of the sixth inning, Base is loaded

0:02:35.160 --> 0:02:36.520
<v Speaker 5>for the rookie right Ward.

0:02:37.480 --> 0:02:40.399
<v Speaker 2>Hitch to Ward. These Wings hits a drive to right

0:02:40.440 --> 0:02:41.440
<v Speaker 2>field toward the wall.

0:02:41.800 --> 0:02:43.359
<v Speaker 6>It is done.

0:02:43.919 --> 0:02:47.959
<v Speaker 2>Hits a grand slam, the first career grand slam for

0:02:48.160 --> 0:02:52.040
<v Speaker 2>Ryan Ward. A line drive over the clemeny walling right.

0:02:54.160 --> 0:02:58.240
<v Speaker 2>A frozen rope for Ryan Ward. His third career home

0:02:58.320 --> 0:03:04.119
<v Speaker 2>run is a grand slam out and the Dodgers lead

0:03:04.200 --> 0:03:07.320
<v Speaker 2>it six to one. Oh, how do you like that?

0:03:07.440 --> 0:03:07.959
<v Speaker 1>For Wards?

0:03:08.400 --> 0:03:10.720
<v Speaker 5>How about Ryan War with a three hundred and eighty

0:03:10.760 --> 0:03:12.640
<v Speaker 5>foot shot to the grand slam.

0:03:12.720 --> 0:03:15.520
<v Speaker 3>The Dodgers up six to one. In cruising.

0:03:15.919 --> 0:03:19.600
<v Speaker 5>Meanwhile, show Hey Otani on the mound would go six

0:03:19.680 --> 0:03:22.760
<v Speaker 5>and two third innings. Sotani would give up a season

0:03:22.919 --> 0:03:26.400
<v Speaker 5>high though four runs, three of which were earned, six

0:03:26.480 --> 0:03:29.120
<v Speaker 5>hits and six and two thirds as e ra ticked

0:03:29.200 --> 0:03:33.240
<v Speaker 5>up to one point six. O'tani struck out six, walked

0:03:33.240 --> 0:03:36.680
<v Speaker 5>three before being removed from following Brandon Lowe's two out,

0:03:36.680 --> 0:03:40.000
<v Speaker 5>two run double in the seventh as the Philida or

0:03:40.040 --> 0:03:44.280
<v Speaker 5>the Pittsburgh Pirates scored four runs in the three runs

0:03:44.280 --> 0:03:46.320
<v Speaker 5>in the seventh to make it an interesting game. And

0:03:46.360 --> 0:03:49.200
<v Speaker 5>then Kyle hurt Well he got roughed up in that

0:03:49.320 --> 0:03:53.040
<v Speaker 5>eighth inning as the Dodgers bullpen really imploded, given up

0:03:53.080 --> 0:03:55.400
<v Speaker 5>five runs in the bottom of the eighth. The Dodgers

0:03:55.440 --> 0:03:57.920
<v Speaker 5>would answer back with two more in the night, trying

0:03:57.920 --> 0:04:00.840
<v Speaker 5>to get back into it. As the Dodgers found themselves

0:04:00.960 --> 0:04:04.160
<v Speaker 5>trailing nine to six, otani a two run home run

0:04:04.200 --> 0:04:06.360
<v Speaker 5>made it nine to eight, but the Dodgers could get

0:04:06.400 --> 0:04:10.320
<v Speaker 5>no closer. A six to two lead fell apart for

0:04:10.360 --> 0:04:13.360
<v Speaker 5>the Dodgers as they lose it nine to eight. Showy

0:04:13.400 --> 0:04:17.359
<v Speaker 5>Otani and no decision. Kyle Hert gets tagged with the

0:04:17.440 --> 0:04:19.359
<v Speaker 5>loss as the Dodgers dropped the second game of this

0:04:19.440 --> 0:04:22.479
<v Speaker 5>three game series at PNC Park. They're now forty three

0:04:22.560 --> 0:04:24.880
<v Speaker 5>and twenty five and today the rubber game of this

0:04:24.960 --> 0:04:27.360
<v Speaker 5>three game series before they head to the South side

0:04:27.360 --> 0:04:29.880
<v Speaker 5>of Chicago. Justin Robuski on the mound, first pitch at

0:04:29.880 --> 0:04:31.680
<v Speaker 5>three forty and with more we head out to the

0:04:31.680 --> 0:04:34.040
<v Speaker 5>galp before broadcast. But as we say hello to Tim

0:04:34.080 --> 0:04:36.280
<v Speaker 5>Neverett and Rick Monday, guys.

0:04:36.000 --> 0:04:39.520
<v Speaker 2>Tam, thank you very much. Here in Pittsburgh, a deluge

0:04:39.640 --> 0:04:42.720
<v Speaker 2>of rain, thunder and lightning. But that has cleared up.

0:04:42.880 --> 0:04:46.200
<v Speaker 2>The tarp is taken off the field and we're looking

0:04:46.240 --> 0:04:49.039
<v Speaker 2>at it on time. Start tonight in Pittsburgh for Game

0:04:49.080 --> 0:04:51.360
<v Speaker 2>three of this three game series. It's the rubber game

0:04:51.400 --> 0:04:54.559
<v Speaker 2>after last night, the Pirates came back for the ninth

0:04:54.600 --> 0:04:57.440
<v Speaker 2>time this year, and the locals here in Pittsburgh talking

0:04:57.440 --> 0:05:00.640
<v Speaker 2>about the fact that last night was their most exciting

0:05:00.760 --> 0:05:04.240
<v Speaker 2>game of the year. Joey Otani deserved to win. He

0:05:04.320 --> 0:05:06.760
<v Speaker 2>left the game he was up six to one, but

0:05:07.240 --> 0:05:10.240
<v Speaker 2>ended up being a nine to eight win for the Pirates.

0:05:10.240 --> 0:05:12.120
<v Speaker 2>So Otani would hit a home run later. He is

0:05:12.200 --> 0:05:14.640
<v Speaker 2>back in the lineup the day after he pitches today,

0:05:14.960 --> 0:05:18.080
<v Speaker 2>he's leading off as the designated hitter against Mitch Keller,

0:05:18.160 --> 0:05:21.320
<v Speaker 2>the right hander and lefty Justin Roebluski has the start

0:05:21.320 --> 0:05:22.039
<v Speaker 2>for the Dodgers.

0:05:22.080 --> 0:05:25.320
<v Speaker 7>Well, for the Dodgers, I mentioned before Game one, and

0:05:25.400 --> 0:05:27.640
<v Speaker 7>we can still talk about it during the game too.

0:05:27.720 --> 0:05:30.360
<v Speaker 7>Is it don't take the Pirates lightly. I mean they're

0:05:30.360 --> 0:05:32.880
<v Speaker 7>in the top six and batting average of all teams

0:05:32.880 --> 0:05:35.000
<v Speaker 7>in Major League Baseball. Home they proved that last night.

0:05:35.360 --> 0:05:37.919
<v Speaker 7>Don't take anybody for granted. And you know the battle

0:05:37.960 --> 0:05:40.080
<v Speaker 7>cry after the game as we're walking back to the hotel.

0:05:40.440 --> 0:05:43.160
<v Speaker 7>A lot of people are almost giddy about the vacuum

0:05:43.480 --> 0:05:46.640
<v Speaker 7>print playoff tickets. And we just had the trip to

0:05:46.680 --> 0:05:50.679
<v Speaker 7>Pittsburgh officially christened if we can because of the great

0:05:50.680 --> 0:05:54.120
<v Speaker 7>Steve Blast, a former pitcher with this Pirate ball club.

0:05:54.200 --> 0:05:57.159
<v Speaker 7>The organization still does a lot of public relations for them.

0:05:57.240 --> 0:05:59.880
<v Speaker 7>Just drop by, so indeed it is now a fit

0:06:00.000 --> 0:06:01.480
<v Speaker 7>a trip to Pittsburgh.

0:06:01.520 --> 0:06:03.000
<v Speaker 2>We took him till the third day, but we got

0:06:03.080 --> 0:06:03.640
<v Speaker 2>him over well.

0:06:03.640 --> 0:06:05.159
<v Speaker 7>He had to build up the courage to come and

0:06:05.200 --> 0:06:06.680
<v Speaker 7>see us.

0:06:07.080 --> 0:06:10.159
<v Speaker 2>So the Dodgers forty three and twenty five, seven and

0:06:10.160 --> 0:06:13.320
<v Speaker 2>a half up on the padres. The Diamondbacks have already

0:06:13.360 --> 0:06:15.320
<v Speaker 2>lost today, So they've lost another half game and the

0:06:15.360 --> 0:06:18.240
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers picked one up by doing nothing roster move today

0:06:18.279 --> 0:06:20.960
<v Speaker 2>with Will Smith being placed on the injured list. Chuckie

0:06:21.080 --> 0:06:24.920
<v Speaker 2>Robinson is here. He's got the league experience more recently

0:06:24.960 --> 0:06:27.240
<v Speaker 2>with the Angels, but he's been in triple A. Caught

0:06:27.279 --> 0:06:31.000
<v Speaker 2>all nine innings of Oklahoma City's game yesterday, and Chucky

0:06:31.080 --> 0:06:36.279
<v Speaker 2>gonna back up tonight. But tonight's lineup looks remarkably similar

0:06:36.279 --> 0:06:37.400
<v Speaker 2>to last night's line up.

0:06:37.480 --> 0:06:41.160
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, and it congratulates also the Ryan Ward. It's been

0:06:41.160 --> 0:06:43.080
<v Speaker 7>a long time for Ryan Wood to get here, trying

0:06:43.120 --> 0:06:45.120
<v Speaker 7>to stick in the big league level. The Grand Slam

0:06:45.440 --> 0:06:48.160
<v Speaker 7>in last night's game in the sixth inning, So it's

0:06:48.240 --> 0:06:51.040
<v Speaker 7>good to see somebody that's really toiled, loves this game

0:06:51.080 --> 0:06:53.960
<v Speaker 7>of baseball, loves to compete, comes up and does very

0:06:54.000 --> 0:06:56.400
<v Speaker 7>well in last night's ball game. And he's getting the

0:06:56.440 --> 0:06:59.960
<v Speaker 7>starting night again in left field, and Dalton rushing again

0:07:00.560 --> 0:07:03.360
<v Speaker 7>in the number eight spot. What is kind of mysterious

0:07:03.680 --> 0:07:06.120
<v Speaker 7>is that Mookie Betts is still not really broken out

0:07:06.160 --> 0:07:09.040
<v Speaker 7>at all. Average went down again last night. He's hitting

0:07:09.080 --> 0:07:11.280
<v Speaker 7>a buck eighty five. What is going to be interesting

0:07:11.320 --> 0:07:14.560
<v Speaker 7>to watch tonight? Tim is what Freddy Freeman does first

0:07:14.600 --> 0:07:16.720
<v Speaker 7>of all the last twenty games hitting over three fifty,

0:07:16.720 --> 0:07:20.200
<v Speaker 7>But what he does against Keller in tonight's game, Why, well,

0:07:20.280 --> 0:07:23.320
<v Speaker 7>Freddy Freeman's face Keller eighteen times. How's it worked out?

0:07:23.640 --> 0:07:26.360
<v Speaker 7>Freeman has nine hits, that's not a bad average, five

0:07:26.440 --> 0:07:27.640
<v Speaker 7>hundred against the guy tonight.

0:07:27.880 --> 0:07:32.120
<v Speaker 2>And you mentioned Betts. He's got one hit in eleven

0:07:32.160 --> 0:07:36.600
<v Speaker 2>trips against Keller. That one hit is a home run.

0:07:36.880 --> 0:07:39.680
<v Speaker 2>So maybe he repeats that We'll see lots to do

0:07:39.760 --> 0:07:43.840
<v Speaker 2>here tonight. Overcast guys here in Pittsburgh. We may see

0:07:43.880 --> 0:07:46.040
<v Speaker 2>some more rain before it's all over, but we are

0:07:46.080 --> 0:07:49.160
<v Speaker 2>expecting an on time start from PNC Park.

0:07:49.240 --> 0:07:50.400
<v Speaker 3>Tim All right, thank you guys.

0:07:50.400 --> 0:07:52.600

<v Speaker 5>six on this season. Dodgers loose to the Pirates yesterday

0:10:09.640 --> 0:10:10.040
<v Speaker 5>nine to eight.

0:10:10.679 --> 0:10:14.560
<v Speaker 1>This is Kirston's corner with Kirston Watson.

0:10:15.000 --> 0:10:17.640
<v Speaker 3>Hey Kirson now joined us. Brought to by Cars for Kids.

0:10:17.640 --> 0:10:20.400
<v Speaker 5>Dont now at Carsfurkids dot org All right, it's been

0:10:20.440 --> 0:10:23.320
<v Speaker 5>a few days. We saw it coming, but Will Smith

0:10:23.400 --> 0:10:25.120
<v Speaker 5>officially to the IL.

0:10:25.480 --> 0:10:27.760
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, and we got to the chance to just check

0:10:27.800 --> 0:10:29.840
<v Speaker 8>in with We'll have a conversation with him this afternoon

0:10:29.880 --> 0:10:32.720
<v Speaker 8>and he shared that this neck stiffness that he's been

0:10:32.760 --> 0:10:34.760
<v Speaker 8>dealing with, it was something that he just woke up

0:10:34.840 --> 0:10:37.400
<v Speaker 8>with it. Unfortunately, as we are getting older, that is

0:10:37.440 --> 0:10:39.480
<v Speaker 8>something that does happen for all of us. We all

0:10:39.520 --> 0:10:41.800
<v Speaker 8>can relate to that. But he said, you know, it

0:10:41.840 --> 0:10:43.840
<v Speaker 8>was in Arizona, so when the team's on the road,

0:10:43.880 --> 0:10:46.120
<v Speaker 8>and he was able to play through it at the beginning,

0:10:46.160 --> 0:10:48.240
<v Speaker 8>even that first day where it was really bothering him,

0:10:48.240 --> 0:10:49.680
<v Speaker 8>that was the game where she had a double, and

0:10:49.720 --> 0:10:51.760
<v Speaker 8>so it wasn't impacting him.

0:10:51.679 --> 0:10:53.320
<v Speaker 9>Until of course it was.

0:10:53.400 --> 0:10:55.440
<v Speaker 8>And so with that, he just felt like whether it

0:10:55.559 --> 0:10:57.600
<v Speaker 8>was how he was turning his neck trying to see

0:10:57.640 --> 0:11:01.760
<v Speaker 8>the picture, swinging the bat, obviously playing catch, he's as

0:11:01.800 --> 0:11:02.840
<v Speaker 8>much as he's been.

0:11:02.720 --> 0:11:06.840
<v Speaker 9>Able to do a little bit of that right now, that's.

0:11:06.679 --> 0:11:08.360
<v Speaker 8>Where it was really causing him some pain where he

0:11:08.400 --> 0:11:10.240
<v Speaker 8>just felt like he couldn't be behind the play and

0:11:10.280 --> 0:11:14.079
<v Speaker 8>in a position to help support the team. So ultimately,

0:11:14.920 --> 0:11:17.040
<v Speaker 8>it more of right now is just some inflammation that

0:11:17.080 --> 0:11:19.240
<v Speaker 8>he's dealing in his neck, dealing with kind of a

0:11:19.280 --> 0:11:21.720
<v Speaker 8>disc on his right side. He doesn't really have any

0:11:21.880 --> 0:11:24.120
<v Speaker 8>high level of concern or anything when it comes to that.

0:11:24.280 --> 0:11:27.120
<v Speaker 8>So he's hopeful that once this ten day IL stint

0:11:27.160 --> 0:11:30.160
<v Speaker 8>comes to an end, which it was backdated to June eighth,

0:11:30.280 --> 0:11:31.880
<v Speaker 8>he feels that he should be good to go.

0:11:32.640 --> 0:11:35.760
<v Speaker 5>Dodgers making a move Chucky Robinson gets called up.

0:11:35.800 --> 0:11:37.520
<v Speaker 3>He's been in the league a couple of times.

0:11:37.400 --> 0:11:39.200
<v Speaker 8>He has, and of course you know he's been with

0:11:39.240 --> 0:11:41.160
<v Speaker 8>spring training with Dodgers as well. He's with the team

0:11:41.240 --> 0:11:43.920
<v Speaker 8>last year got called up for a little bit similar

0:11:43.960 --> 0:11:46.760
<v Speaker 8>situation in which Will Smith as well as Dalton Rushing.

0:11:46.800 --> 0:11:48.160
<v Speaker 8>Of course, we're dealing with a little bit of injuries

0:11:48.200 --> 0:11:50.400
<v Speaker 8>at the back end of last year. So the good

0:11:50.400 --> 0:11:53.120
<v Speaker 8>news is that he knows the pitching staff well. Especially

0:11:53.160 --> 0:11:55.160
<v Speaker 8>they also have to think we've had a lot of

0:11:55.200 --> 0:11:57.400
<v Speaker 8>guys on the IL. That means that they've been with

0:11:57.440 --> 0:11:59.800
<v Speaker 8>the Triple A OKC team and they've been rehabbing.

0:11:59.800 --> 0:12:01.560
<v Speaker 9>So he has worked a lot with the pictures.

0:12:01.840 --> 0:12:04.680
<v Speaker 8>So he's gonna actually have the start tomorrow in Chicago

0:12:04.840 --> 0:12:08.160
<v Speaker 8>against the White Sox and then should have another one

0:12:08.320 --> 0:12:10.680
<v Speaker 8>in that raise series when the Dodgers come back to

0:12:10.760 --> 0:12:11.600
<v Speaker 8>Los Angeles.

0:12:11.640 --> 0:12:13.640
<v Speaker 9>So they feel really good as to where.

0:12:13.440 --> 0:12:15.120
<v Speaker 8>He is and even with talking to him, he's felt

0:12:15.160 --> 0:12:18.040
<v Speaker 8>like while he hasn't really made any mechanical changes per se,

0:12:18.080 --> 0:12:20.479
<v Speaker 8>he just feels like he's in a good groove offensively,

0:12:20.559 --> 0:12:22.839
<v Speaker 8>and so hopefully when his name is called he can

0:12:22.920 --> 0:12:25.760
<v Speaker 8>have some not only contribute behind the play, but even

0:12:25.800 --> 0:12:27.760
<v Speaker 8>you know, offensively as well well.

0:12:27.800 --> 0:12:29.920
<v Speaker 5>The Dodgers need to get back on track Tonight's really

0:12:29.920 --> 0:12:32.040
<v Speaker 5>the bullpen needs to get back on track and get out.

0:12:31.880 --> 0:12:34.400
<v Speaker 3>Of Pittsburgh with the series. Winn Kirsten, we appreciate it.

0:12:34.480 --> 0:12:36.760
<v Speaker 3>Stay dry, let's at the rain mood through. That is

0:12:36.800 --> 0:12:39.040
<v Speaker 3>certainly a good side. We'll talk to you after the game.

0:12:39.120 --> 0:12:41.000
<v Speaker 5>Still, they come here on Wrongo because you know, Dodgers

0:12:41.000 --> 0:12:43.680

<v Speaker 5>it with the Dodger skibber.

0:14:06.840 --> 0:14:09.959
<v Speaker 1>Some questions for Dave, Dave, can you just describe Dave?

0:14:10.040 --> 0:14:13.520
<v Speaker 1>Can you talk about the pressure in the dugouts with

0:14:13.720 --> 0:14:14.720
<v Speaker 1>Dave Robberts.

0:14:15.160 --> 0:14:20.120
<v Speaker 10>I see Chucky catching tomorrow, catching rookie tomorrow, and then

0:14:22.000 --> 0:14:27.120
<v Speaker 10>Dalton will probably catch Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and then I

0:14:27.400 --> 0:14:31.160
<v Speaker 10>Chuck you will catch Tuesday, and then you know, then

0:14:31.200 --> 0:14:34.600
<v Speaker 10>we have the off day on Thursday, I think, and

0:14:34.640 --> 0:14:37.240
<v Speaker 10>then hopefully at that point in time, you know there's

0:14:37.280 --> 0:14:38.680
<v Speaker 10>a real conversation that we'll.

0:14:38.520 --> 0:14:40.800
<v Speaker 8>We'll be back with He was mentioning that it's just

0:14:40.880 --> 0:14:44.040
<v Speaker 8>kind of the inflemation on that right side potentially disrelated.

0:14:44.080 --> 0:14:45.800
<v Speaker 8>Does that have any concern for you or you just

0:14:45.840 --> 0:14:48.680
<v Speaker 8>feel based off what he's been telling you that a

0:14:49.200 --> 0:14:51.320
<v Speaker 8>just ten day stint could be a good spot for him.

0:14:52.040 --> 0:14:52.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:14:52.240 --> 0:14:53.480
<v Speaker 11>I think that's more.

0:14:54.360 --> 0:14:57.480
<v Speaker 10>It's just kind of talking to Will, talking to the trainers,

0:14:57.520 --> 0:15:01.600
<v Speaker 10>and just not really wanting it to go in reverse.

0:15:02.000 --> 0:15:06.480
<v Speaker 10>And I think that it's certainly probably playable if we needed,

0:15:07.200 --> 0:15:10.280
<v Speaker 10>but to what cost? And I think that right now,

0:15:11.240 --> 0:15:14.520
<v Speaker 10>I just don't think it's smart to, you know, run

0:15:14.560 --> 0:15:17.080
<v Speaker 10>Will out there just because he's Will Smith and he'll

0:15:17.120 --> 0:15:21.520
<v Speaker 10>do it. We got to take care of his health

0:15:22.360 --> 0:15:25.000
<v Speaker 10>for this year, and so I think that I don't

0:15:25.040 --> 0:15:26.760
<v Speaker 10>think it's a serious thing, but I do think that

0:15:26.920 --> 0:15:29.160
<v Speaker 10>us taking care of it right now on the front

0:15:29.240 --> 0:15:32.320
<v Speaker 10>end will pay benefits, you know later.

0:15:32.120 --> 0:15:38.680
<v Speaker 7>On preferences or concerns about who you are chucky with.

0:15:38.840 --> 0:15:43.760
<v Speaker 10>As far as the picture, no, I think the only

0:15:43.800 --> 0:15:51.440
<v Speaker 10>person I really feel really convicted on is having rushing

0:15:51.480 --> 0:15:53.360
<v Speaker 10>with show Hey, just because I think he's just been

0:15:53.400 --> 0:15:54.360
<v Speaker 10>around show hay More.

0:15:55.000 --> 0:15:57.160
<v Speaker 5>All right, there's a manager, Dave Roberts, talking about what

0:15:57.160 --> 0:15:59.720
<v Speaker 5>they're going to do with the cat catching situation between

0:15:59.760 --> 0:16:03.280
<v Speaker 5>Dalton Russian and Chuckie Robinson. Moving forward again, Will Smith

0:16:03.360 --> 0:16:06.080

0:17:00.920 --> 0:17:02.800
<v Speaker 5>to start the season, got sitting down.

0:17:03.000 --> 0:17:04.200
<v Speaker 3>Was certainly disappointed.

0:17:04.240 --> 0:17:07.800
<v Speaker 5>But this second time around, Alex Freelands look different, hasn't he?

0:17:07.800 --> 0:17:08.600
<v Speaker 2>He really has.

0:17:08.680 --> 0:17:11.720
<v Speaker 4>The one thing that's remained the same is the solid

0:17:11.760 --> 0:17:14.919
<v Speaker 4>defense in the field for the game at second base.

0:17:15.440 --> 0:17:19.920
<v Speaker 4>Since he was recalled from Oklahoma City twelve games ago,

0:17:20.080 --> 0:17:23.480
<v Speaker 4>he has thirty at bats and his OPS is eight

0:17:23.560 --> 0:17:26.879
<v Speaker 4>oh five compared to where it was before in his

0:17:27.000 --> 0:17:30.440
<v Speaker 4>first thirty three games this season a six forty six

0:17:30.600 --> 0:17:34.359
<v Speaker 4>OPS and the strikeout to walk ratio is much better.

0:17:34.440 --> 0:17:37.040
<v Speaker 4>It's like what we saw in spring training. He struck

0:17:37.040 --> 0:17:41.000
<v Speaker 4>out seven times so far and has six walks since

0:17:41.200 --> 0:17:44.639
<v Speaker 4>returning from Oklahoma City. Maybe his best game of the

0:17:44.720 --> 0:17:47.119
<v Speaker 4>year was on the last road trip, where he had

0:17:47.440 --> 0:17:49.840
<v Speaker 4>four hits. I had a chance to catch up with

0:17:50.000 --> 0:17:53.920
<v Speaker 4>him right after that game, and obviously feeling good about himself.

0:17:54.560 --> 0:17:57.920
<v Speaker 3>It's a night and day difference. I feel like myself,

0:17:57.960 --> 0:17:58.480
<v Speaker 3>I feel.

0:17:58.240 --> 0:18:01.520
<v Speaker 11>Like I'm having fun and it's just fun. Yeah.

0:18:01.560 --> 0:18:04.920
<v Speaker 4>It just seems a lot more comfortable this time around,

0:18:05.119 --> 0:18:08.880
<v Speaker 4>and I think he understands what it's like to be here,

0:18:08.960 --> 0:18:12.920
<v Speaker 4>what's expected being here now for a third different time.

0:18:13.040 --> 0:18:18.520
<v Speaker 4>So until tom Yedman returns, Alex Friedman is Alex Freeman

0:18:18.600 --> 0:18:20.920
<v Speaker 4>is going to be the starting second baseman.

0:18:21.119 --> 0:18:22.880

<v Speaker 5>Southern California Ford Dealers today or by fordnow dot com.

0:18:37.600 --> 0:18:40.680
<v Speaker 5>All right, we're getting closer and closer to that trade deadline, David,

0:18:40.760 --> 0:18:42.159
<v Speaker 5>It's still about a month and a half away, but

0:18:42.280 --> 0:18:43.080
<v Speaker 5>we're getting closer.

0:18:43.200 --> 0:18:45.680
<v Speaker 3>Trek Scouble. What's the latest on the trade rumors.

0:18:46.440 --> 0:18:49.760
<v Speaker 4>Well, the biggest thing everybody keeps talking about Trek Scouble.

0:18:49.920 --> 0:18:54.879
<v Speaker 4>He's actually returning on Saturday, just over a month after

0:18:54.920 --> 0:19:00.000
<v Speaker 4>having that nanoscope procedure on his left pitching elbow. That's

0:19:00.160 --> 0:19:04.960
<v Speaker 4>significant news as it surrounds Tarrek Scubel. But my understanding

0:19:05.040 --> 0:19:07.600
<v Speaker 4>is the Tigers are going to take this closer to

0:19:07.640 --> 0:19:10.639
<v Speaker 4>the end of July, if not on the trading deadline

0:19:11.080 --> 0:19:14.480
<v Speaker 4>of August two, to see how far they're out, whether

0:19:14.560 --> 0:19:17.120
<v Speaker 4>or not they got back into the wildcard race or

0:19:17.240 --> 0:19:20.680
<v Speaker 4>at the very least the Al Central race, because that's

0:19:20.760 --> 0:19:24.119
<v Speaker 4>more that's more realistic for them to be able to

0:19:24.160 --> 0:19:28.120
<v Speaker 4>get into the postseason winning their division. They're eight games back,

0:19:28.200 --> 0:19:31.560
<v Speaker 4>they're twenty nine to forty. The chances of that happening

0:19:31.640 --> 0:19:35.320
<v Speaker 4>are not high, but the Tigers GM Scott Harris. My

0:19:35.440 --> 0:19:39.200
<v Speaker 4>understanding is he's going to wait until, at the very least,

0:19:39.240 --> 0:19:41.359
<v Speaker 4>like I said, the end of July before making a

0:19:41.400 --> 0:19:44.119
<v Speaker 4>decision on whether or not the Tigers wave the white

0:19:44.119 --> 0:19:48.000
<v Speaker 4>flag on the season and trade Tarrek Scuble. But Saturday

0:19:48.080 --> 0:19:50.399
<v Speaker 4>is a big day and I think for all teams,

0:19:50.480 --> 0:19:53.480
<v Speaker 4>they all want to see how Scooble looks coming off

0:19:53.520 --> 0:19:58.880
<v Speaker 4>that nanoscope procedure where doctor elatrosh removed one bone chip

0:19:58.920 --> 0:20:01.479
<v Speaker 4>from that left elbow. It only took thirty minutes, so

0:20:01.560 --> 0:20:02.840
<v Speaker 4>not very invasive at all.

0:20:02.920 --> 0:20:05.600
<v Speaker 5>All right, David, We're gonna see Justin Robleski get the

0:20:05.640 --> 0:20:07.800
<v Speaker 5>start today, chance to get to his eighth win of

0:20:07.840 --> 0:20:10.840
<v Speaker 5>this season. He's been really good and consistent for this

0:20:10.920 --> 0:20:12.919
<v Speaker 5>Dodgers team this year when they needed him. Does he

0:20:12.960 --> 0:20:15.120
<v Speaker 5>have a case to get to Philadelphia for this All

0:20:15.119 --> 0:20:15.600
<v Speaker 5>Star Game?

0:20:16.040 --> 0:20:17.959
<v Speaker 4>I think he does. I mean, you look at the

0:20:18.000 --> 0:20:22.080
<v Speaker 4>Dodgers locks. In my opinion, it's a Pajez, it's Otani,

0:20:22.280 --> 0:20:26.120
<v Speaker 4>it's Muncie and Yamamoto. For me, those are the locks.

0:20:26.240 --> 0:20:29.960
<v Speaker 4>And how could you say no to Justin Robleski, especially

0:20:30.040 --> 0:20:33.160
<v Speaker 4>if he wins tonight's game and his era is under three.

0:20:33.400 --> 0:20:36.400
<v Speaker 4>So I know he's not a household name, but he's

0:20:36.440 --> 0:20:39.240
<v Speaker 4>a guy that certainly has earned a lot of attention,

0:20:39.400 --> 0:20:41.879
<v Speaker 4>and it's gonna have to come from the players and

0:20:41.960 --> 0:20:45.040
<v Speaker 4>coaches votes to get Robleski on there. I know Dave

0:20:45.119 --> 0:20:48.160
<v Speaker 4>Roberts is the manager, maybe he has some say if

0:20:48.200 --> 0:20:51.640
<v Speaker 4>guys can't pitch on that Midsummer Classic in Philly.

0:20:51.800 --> 0:20:53.959
<v Speaker 2>But I feel like if Robleski.

0:20:53.520 --> 0:20:57.600
<v Speaker 4>Continues to get closer to ten wins before the first

0:20:57.640 --> 0:21:00.399
<v Speaker 4>half is over and his era is under three, you

0:21:00.480 --> 0:21:02.560
<v Speaker 4>gotta believe he's joining those other stars.

0:21:02.760 --> 0:21:04.640
<v Speaker 5>Let's hope he can get to Philadelphia, all right, David,

0:21:04.640 --> 0:21:06.240

<v Speaker 1>All right, Tim.

0:23:42.520 --> 0:23:45.240
<v Speaker 6>The rubber game of the three game series, the Pirates

0:23:45.320 --> 0:23:49.160
<v Speaker 6>came from behind last night, beating the Dodgers nine to eight.

0:23:49.240 --> 0:23:52.600
<v Speaker 6>Having said that, the Dodgers still at forty three and

0:23:52.680 --> 0:23:55.439
<v Speaker 6>twenty five in first place, seven and a half in

0:23:55.440 --> 0:23:57.840
<v Speaker 6>front of the Padres, eight and a half in front

0:23:57.840 --> 0:24:01.359
<v Speaker 6>of Arizona. The Dodgers have won five of eight, twelve

0:24:01.359 --> 0:24:04.919
<v Speaker 6>of seventeen, fourteen of twenty and nineteen of their last

0:24:04.960 --> 0:24:07.480
<v Speaker 6>thirty and are on a pace to win one hundred

0:24:07.480 --> 0:24:10.919
<v Speaker 6>and two games. Despite last night's lost, the Buccos at

0:24:10.960 --> 0:24:14.240
<v Speaker 6>thirty five and thirty three in third place in the.

0:24:14.320 --> 0:24:15.520
<v Speaker 2>National League Central.

0:24:15.840 --> 0:24:19.359
<v Speaker 6>Everybody's been talking about the Knicks and the Spurs last

0:24:19.440 --> 0:24:22.320
<v Speaker 6>night and the excitement and one of the things bo

0:24:22.520 --> 0:24:25.920
<v Speaker 6>in general, that game, the way it played itself out,

0:24:26.400 --> 0:24:29.760
<v Speaker 6>that is why we like sports. We don't know what's

0:24:29.800 --> 0:24:34.240
<v Speaker 6>gonna happen, but when it does, it does something to

0:24:34.320 --> 0:24:37.320
<v Speaker 6>us that few other escapades can.

0:24:37.560 --> 0:24:39.800
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, let me just let people in on a little bit.

0:24:39.920 --> 0:24:43.080
<v Speaker 7>I gave you a call immediately after the Knicks that

0:24:43.320 --> 0:24:46.080
<v Speaker 7>miraculous come from behind because you had been since you

0:24:46.119 --> 0:24:49.360
<v Speaker 7>were a kid, a fan of the New York Knickaboxers

0:24:49.400 --> 0:24:53.719
<v Speaker 7>and the basketball team, so you were kind of celebrating.

0:24:53.800 --> 0:24:55.600
<v Speaker 7>And I don't think there was anybody that thought there

0:24:55.640 --> 0:24:57.920
<v Speaker 7>was a chance looking at that game. There are a lot

0:24:57.920 --> 0:24:59.960
<v Speaker 7>of people here in Pittsburgh didn't think there's a chance

0:25:00.080 --> 0:25:03.320
<v Speaker 7>for the Pirates to come back last night. But that's happened.

0:25:03.600 --> 0:25:06.520
<v Speaker 7>And once you come into the ballpark, you truly never

0:25:06.720 --> 0:25:08.800
<v Speaker 7>know what's going to happen. In the sporting event.

0:25:08.840 --> 0:25:09.159
<v Speaker 2>Itself.

0:25:09.240 --> 0:25:10.600
<v Speaker 1>That's why we love sports.

0:25:10.760 --> 0:25:15.040
<v Speaker 6>So Otani last night pitched reasonably well, left the game

0:25:15.160 --> 0:25:19.080
<v Speaker 6>leading six to three after six and two thirds. Dodgers

0:25:19.359 --> 0:25:22.560
<v Speaker 6>are only six and five and his eleven starts this year,

0:25:23.600 --> 0:25:27.600
<v Speaker 6>so that is fascinating. But what is perhaps a bit

0:25:27.640 --> 0:25:31.440
<v Speaker 6>more problematic the bullpen has become an issue.

0:25:31.920 --> 0:25:34.000
<v Speaker 7>It has with the number of runs that may give

0:25:34.040 --> 0:25:36.480
<v Speaker 7>it up now recently in the number of innings pitch

0:25:36.640 --> 0:25:39.640
<v Speaker 7>that used to be closed the door. The game's over

0:25:39.760 --> 0:25:41.840
<v Speaker 7>once the Dodgers turn it over to the bullpen.

0:25:41.880 --> 0:25:42.600
<v Speaker 1>That has not been the.

0:25:42.560 --> 0:25:45.959
<v Speaker 7>Case, as you mentioned of recent times. And I do know,

0:25:46.000 --> 0:25:48.719
<v Speaker 7>and not giving away trade secrets, that there were some

0:25:48.760 --> 0:25:52.000
<v Speaker 7>conversations going on between a couple of coaches and a

0:25:52.040 --> 0:25:54.960
<v Speaker 7>couple of relievers. By chance, they talk every day to

0:25:55.000 --> 0:25:57.160
<v Speaker 7>begin with and getting ready for the game, but there

0:25:57.160 --> 0:26:01.240
<v Speaker 7>were maybe some in depth conversations about maybe not pitch selection,

0:26:01.680 --> 0:26:04.359
<v Speaker 7>but maybe refining pitches just to make sure everybody gets

0:26:04.440 --> 0:26:06.840
<v Speaker 7>back on track. It's something's done each and every day

0:26:06.920 --> 0:26:10.320
<v Speaker 7>during his season. It's nothing out of the ordinary. But

0:26:11.000 --> 0:26:13.520
<v Speaker 7>the coaches do a wonderful job and keeping in touch

0:26:13.560 --> 0:26:16.680
<v Speaker 7>with the players and also not letting them get too

0:26:16.760 --> 0:26:18.560
<v Speaker 7>frustrated and get down on things.

0:26:18.880 --> 0:26:25.000
<v Speaker 6>Last fourteen games, the bullpen era seven seventy one, opponent's

0:26:25.080 --> 0:26:27.560
<v Speaker 6>hitting two to eighty three against him, and they've given

0:26:27.640 --> 0:26:31.240
<v Speaker 6>up twelve home runs in forty two innings. And so

0:26:31.400 --> 0:26:35.760
<v Speaker 6>while the Dodgers starters have been terrific of late, the

0:26:35.800 --> 0:26:38.440
<v Speaker 6>bullpen is beginning to spring some leaks.

0:26:38.200 --> 0:26:40.399
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, and some of the guys have to figure out

0:26:40.440 --> 0:26:42.080
<v Speaker 7>a way to carry the load on top of it.

0:26:42.119 --> 0:26:44.280
<v Speaker 7>Can't keep going to the same guys over and over

0:26:44.359 --> 0:26:46.719
<v Speaker 7>and over. Bessie came into the seventh inning and retired

0:26:46.720 --> 0:26:49.600
<v Speaker 7>the last batter that he was going to face and

0:26:49.640 --> 0:26:51.520
<v Speaker 7>then turn it over to the rest of the bullpen.

0:26:52.040 --> 0:26:55.159
<v Speaker 7>Kyle Hurt had trouble, and then for Jack Dryer, and

0:26:55.160 --> 0:26:57.879
<v Speaker 7>he continues to ask some probble and the home runs

0:26:57.880 --> 0:27:00.960
<v Speaker 7>are being given up late in the ballgames. Pittsburgh Pirates,

0:27:01.280 --> 0:27:04.520
<v Speaker 7>I mentioned before Game one of this series. Don't take

0:27:04.560 --> 0:27:08.600
<v Speaker 7>the Pirates for granted because they score runs. In fact,

0:27:08.680 --> 0:27:10.560
<v Speaker 7>I'll repeat it again, when you look at the run

0:27:10.640 --> 0:27:12.960
<v Speaker 7>scored for the Pittsburgh Pirates, they came in a last

0:27:13.040 --> 0:27:17.240
<v Speaker 7>night's game sixth highest run scored in all of baseball,

0:27:17.359 --> 0:27:19.000
<v Speaker 7>and they proved that again last night.

0:27:19.240 --> 0:27:23.440
<v Speaker 6>Pitching matchup tonight for the Dodgers. Robleski seven and two,

0:27:23.640 --> 0:27:27.399
<v Speaker 6>most wins of any Dodger starter, a two sixty two er,

0:27:27.720 --> 0:27:30.960
<v Speaker 6>that's the second lowest ra among all the Dodgers starters.

0:27:31.240 --> 0:27:34.280
<v Speaker 6>He's held opponents to a two to fourteen average his

0:27:34.359 --> 0:27:38.520
<v Speaker 6>last start at Arizona six scoreless. In fact, his last

0:27:38.560 --> 0:27:43.760
<v Speaker 6>two starts one earned run in thirteen innings, thirteen strikeouts,

0:27:43.840 --> 0:27:46.720
<v Speaker 6>two walks. Facing Mitch Keller, who has had his head

0:27:46.760 --> 0:27:49.800
<v Speaker 6>handed to him in his last five starts. So the

0:27:49.840 --> 0:27:52.880
<v Speaker 6>Dodgers are sending out a very hot starter in rob

0:27:52.960 --> 0:27:53.760
<v Speaker 6>Leski tonight.

0:27:53.920 --> 0:27:56.600
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, he's been a breath of fresh air, and especially

0:27:56.640 --> 0:27:58.960
<v Speaker 7>coming in with injuries in that starting rotation, gonna be

0:27:58.960 --> 0:28:02.080
<v Speaker 7>interesting to watch. Freddy Freeman also against Keller tonight. You

0:28:02.160 --> 0:28:04.480
<v Speaker 7>mentioned Keller has had some difficulty, in particular the last

0:28:04.480 --> 0:28:07.399
<v Speaker 7>couple of outings, but he's had difficulty with Freddy Freeman.

0:28:07.480 --> 0:28:10.760
<v Speaker 7>How much difficulty? Well, Freeman has faced him eighteen times.

0:28:10.840 --> 0:28:13.840
<v Speaker 7>How's he done? He has nine hits, so that's not bad.

0:28:13.840 --> 0:28:15.960
<v Speaker 7>He hitting five hundred. We'll see what happens tonight in

0:28:16.000 --> 0:28:16.560
<v Speaker 7>that matchup.

0:28:16.680 --> 0:28:19.480
<v Speaker 6>Freeman has been red hot the last three weeks or

0:28:19.480 --> 0:28:22.320
<v Speaker 6>so the Dodgers at forty three and twenty five, the

0:28:22.400 --> 0:28:24.919
<v Speaker 6>rubber game of the three game set. Next stop to

0:28:24.960 --> 0:28:27.800

<v Speaker 1>Jack on the official home of La Dodgers Baseball.

0:29:18.120 --> 0:29:21.360
<v Speaker 5>It's the Dodgers and Pirates on this Thursday afternoon. The

0:29:21.480 --> 0:29:24.160
<v Speaker 5>rain is coming gone, the tarp is off the field,

0:29:24.160 --> 0:29:26.840

<v Speaker 1>a Dodger player.

0:29:46.640 --> 0:29:47.920
<v Speaker 3>It's an engagement of endearment.

0:29:47.960 --> 0:29:49.840

<v Speaker 11>I appreciate it, My Butcher, thanks, thanks as always, David.

0:30:04.360 --> 0:30:08.240
<v Speaker 4>A little known fact, Bob Nightingale covered the Dodgers once

0:30:08.320 --> 0:30:10.960
<v Speaker 4>upon a time for the La Times. What do you

0:30:11.040 --> 0:30:14.640
<v Speaker 4>remember the most about your experience covering the Dodgers on

0:30:14.680 --> 0:30:17.560
<v Speaker 4>a daily basis in the eighties and nineties.

0:30:18.320 --> 0:30:21.120
<v Speaker 13>You know, I was actually living in northern San Diego

0:30:21.520 --> 0:30:24.000
<v Speaker 13>and so traffic wasn't that bad. I originally with the

0:30:24.080 --> 0:30:26.320
<v Speaker 13>La Times to cover the Potres and the Angels and

0:30:26.360 --> 0:30:26.960
<v Speaker 13>the Dodgers.

0:30:27.520 --> 0:30:28.640
<v Speaker 11>So yeah, great time.

0:30:28.760 --> 0:30:31.760
<v Speaker 13>It was a fun thing and nothing there was nothing

0:30:31.800 --> 0:30:34.400
<v Speaker 13>like Vero Beach. I still remember it was a guy

0:30:34.840 --> 0:30:37.080
<v Speaker 13>no one want to call his name. Out was suburban paper.

0:30:37.440 --> 0:30:39.760
<v Speaker 13>So it was the lockout year. So it was actually

0:30:39.760 --> 0:30:42.960
<v Speaker 13>a long spring. You remember that the food was unbelievable

0:30:43.080 --> 0:30:45.360
<v Speaker 13>Vero Beach. You know, you're drinking every night and stuff.

0:30:45.560 --> 0:30:47.920
<v Speaker 13>This guy gained forty pounds in spring training?

0:30:48.760 --> 0:30:51.280
<v Speaker 11>Was that eighty one? No, no, this is a lockout

0:30:51.320 --> 0:30:52.320
<v Speaker 11>for ninety four ninety five.

0:30:52.520 --> 0:30:55.400
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, yeah, so you were you were stuck in the

0:30:55.440 --> 0:30:57.160
<v Speaker 4>lockout at Vero Beach, Florida.

0:30:57.560 --> 0:30:59.200
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, it was unbelievable.

0:30:59.240 --> 0:31:01.920
<v Speaker 13>So, you know, had all replacement players, Tommy holding court

0:31:01.960 --> 0:31:04.400
<v Speaker 13>every day, and I just thought that was so cool.

0:31:04.520 --> 0:31:07.440
<v Speaker 13>You know, you're doing your stories or someone asking for

0:31:07.480 --> 0:31:10.520
<v Speaker 13>your what cocktail you want your dining? You know there's

0:31:10.560 --> 0:31:12.960
<v Speaker 13>Colfax in one chair, there's Drysdale. But you know, it

0:31:13.000 --> 0:31:14.080
<v Speaker 13>was just a great time.

0:31:14.360 --> 0:31:18.000
<v Speaker 4>The new generation only knows Eric Carrows as the broadcaster,

0:31:18.320 --> 0:31:22.360
<v Speaker 4>but ninety four ninety three when you were covering the Dodgers.

0:31:22.400 --> 0:31:25.600
<v Speaker 4>Mike Piazza and Eric Carrows were the two biggest stars

0:31:25.600 --> 0:31:28.000
<v Speaker 4>in LA at that time. What do you remember the

0:31:28.040 --> 0:31:31.480
<v Speaker 4>most about covering Mike Piazza and Eric Carross the players

0:31:31.480 --> 0:31:32.440
<v Speaker 4>with the Dodgers.

0:31:32.840 --> 0:31:34.680
<v Speaker 13>Yeah, just had how much fun they used to have.

0:31:34.800 --> 0:31:37.000
<v Speaker 13>I mean they were the Golden Boys, the Gamoral Boys.

0:31:37.800 --> 0:31:40.480
<v Speaker 13>Think I lived together at that point in Manhattan Beach

0:31:41.000 --> 0:31:44.080
<v Speaker 13>and uh so, yeah, it was fun. Uh you know,

0:31:44.080 --> 0:31:46.360
<v Speaker 13>remember going on the road with those guys and just

0:31:46.440 --> 0:31:49.360
<v Speaker 13>it was like one big family. But yeah, tremendous guys.

0:31:49.400 --> 0:31:52.800
<v Speaker 13>And then both guys were a blasphy around and it

0:31:52.840 --> 0:31:54.040
<v Speaker 13>was it was it was a fun time.

0:31:54.120 --> 0:31:56.160
<v Speaker 11>I mean, I uh, you know, will never see those

0:31:56.200 --> 0:31:58.080
<v Speaker 11>times again. Those a blast back then.

0:31:58.440 --> 0:31:58.920
<v Speaker 2>Bob Night.

0:31:58.960 --> 0:32:01.680
<v Speaker 4>Gail is our guest for USA Today. You were with

0:32:01.840 --> 0:32:04.720
<v Speaker 4>the Dodgers when they were in Arizona last week. What

0:32:04.840 --> 0:32:07.920
<v Speaker 4>do you take away from your time being around the

0:32:07.960 --> 0:32:10.960
<v Speaker 4>team and just the perception of the Dodgers around Major

0:32:11.040 --> 0:32:13.120
<v Speaker 4>League Baseball Just how.

0:32:12.960 --> 0:32:13.560
<v Speaker 11>Deep they are.

0:32:13.640 --> 0:32:16.320
<v Speaker 13>I mean, they've had all these injuries. You know, Lookie

0:32:16.360 --> 0:32:19.200
<v Speaker 13>Betts has come back. You'll struggle a little bit, obviously,

0:32:19.280 --> 0:32:21.600
<v Speaker 13>some guys haven't performed like they hoped. You know, they

0:32:21.680 --> 0:32:26.440
<v Speaker 13>loser Snell and Glass now and they don't blink. That's amazing,

0:32:26.480 --> 0:32:28.960
<v Speaker 13>you know, like we talked about David, I mean, having

0:32:29.280 --> 0:32:32.560
<v Speaker 13>you know, eleven twelve home drawn players is amazing and

0:32:32.640 --> 0:32:35.440
<v Speaker 13>they haven't they haven't blinked. And you know how many

0:32:35.440 --> 0:32:38.880
<v Speaker 13>teams can survive losing this many players and you know,

0:32:39.040 --> 0:32:42.280
<v Speaker 13>two fists or a string rotation and say hey, we're fine.

0:32:42.680 --> 0:32:45.000
<v Speaker 11>And you know they give them credit. I mean a

0:32:45.000 --> 0:32:45.800
<v Speaker 11>lot of patients.

0:32:45.880 --> 0:32:48.280
<v Speaker 13>I mean everyone in Sasaki back in the Miron leagues,

0:32:48.280 --> 0:32:50.480
<v Speaker 13>at least in the bullpen. They said, no, he'll be fine,

0:32:50.480 --> 0:32:52.840
<v Speaker 13>he'll be fine, and sure enough, you know he's pitching

0:32:53.040 --> 0:32:53.640
<v Speaker 13>better than ever.

0:32:54.040 --> 0:32:54.320
<v Speaker 2>Bob.

0:32:54.360 --> 0:32:58.120
<v Speaker 4>We are witnessing maybe the greatest player of all time

0:32:58.200 --> 0:33:02.280
<v Speaker 4>and maybe the greatest season of all time. And show, hey, Otani,

0:33:02.920 --> 0:33:05.160
<v Speaker 4>is there anything more that can be added to what

0:33:05.280 --> 0:33:10.360
<v Speaker 4>he's doing? Are are we failing to appreciate fully what

0:33:10.400 --> 0:33:11.880
<v Speaker 4>we are watching in real time?

0:33:12.760 --> 0:33:14.680
<v Speaker 13>I think we are. I mean now we're gonna tanking,

0:33:14.760 --> 0:33:16.719
<v Speaker 13>for granted, A mess of them are. When he came

0:33:16.800 --> 0:33:19.520
<v Speaker 13>over his first spring training, people said, oh, he's a bust.

0:33:19.560 --> 0:33:22.200
<v Speaker 13>He's never going to do this, and uh, I remembera

0:33:22.240 --> 0:33:24.040
<v Speaker 13>coming the Dodgers with the Hideo Nomo and they said

0:33:24.040 --> 0:33:26.440
<v Speaker 13>the same thing about Nomo. But just you know, uh,

0:33:26.520 --> 0:33:28.200
<v Speaker 13>you know, each row a lot of times when the

0:33:28.240 --> 0:33:31.040
<v Speaker 13>guys come from Japan, it's just the first spring, it's

0:33:31.320 --> 0:33:33.680
<v Speaker 13>filling out process and one's lights come on, they turn

0:33:33.720 --> 0:33:36.480
<v Speaker 13>it on and sure enough, I mean I was looking

0:33:36.520 --> 0:33:38.480
<v Speaker 13>to fit way too much time looking up.

0:33:38.400 --> 0:33:40.440
<v Speaker 11>Babe Ruth's best years in.

0:33:40.640 --> 0:33:43.400
<v Speaker 13>Uh, you know, pitching and hitting, you know, and never

0:33:43.480 --> 0:33:45.280
<v Speaker 13>you know, did he win over you know, ten games

0:33:45.280 --> 0:33:48.040
<v Speaker 13>and hit over twenty home runs? So we always say, oh,

0:33:48.200 --> 0:33:50.480
<v Speaker 13>best player, says s Babe Roof. Well maybe he's the

0:33:50.480 --> 0:33:52.960
<v Speaker 13>best player ever, you know. And going past Babe.

0:33:52.760 --> 0:33:55.600
<v Speaker 4>Roof, yeah, I mean you can't even compare the talent

0:33:55.720 --> 0:34:00.160
<v Speaker 4>level that Otani is facing each and every night as

0:34:00.200 --> 0:34:03.120
<v Speaker 4>a hitter compared to who Babe Ruth faced as a

0:34:03.200 --> 0:34:04.280
<v Speaker 4>hitter when he was playing.

0:34:04.760 --> 0:34:06.200
<v Speaker 11>Absolutely And I was stunned.

0:34:06.200 --> 0:34:08.279
<v Speaker 13>You know, when the the game last week when he

0:34:08.320 --> 0:34:11.560
<v Speaker 13>pitched against the Diamondbacks, he was on base five times.

0:34:11.920 --> 0:34:13.960
<v Speaker 13>I think he was on you know, I don't remember

0:34:14.040 --> 0:34:15.440
<v Speaker 13>him going the dugoup maybe once.

0:34:15.800 --> 0:34:17.560
<v Speaker 11>And I was talking mcguil Rojas.

0:34:17.600 --> 0:34:19.160
<v Speaker 13>After that game, he says, I don't think he sat

0:34:19.239 --> 0:34:22.400
<v Speaker 13>down the entire time, but just his energy level. I

0:34:22.440 --> 0:34:24.440
<v Speaker 13>thought for sure when he was, you know, hang on

0:34:24.480 --> 0:34:26.440
<v Speaker 13>the bases and having to rush in and you know,

0:34:26.520 --> 0:34:28.359
<v Speaker 13>grab his glove to wear him out.

0:34:28.520 --> 0:34:28.960
<v Speaker 11>Never did.

0:34:29.160 --> 0:34:31.759
<v Speaker 4>Hey, Bob, what would it take for Otani to get

0:34:31.800 --> 0:34:35.560
<v Speaker 4>the vote over at Christopher Sanchez or Jacob Mazerowski to

0:34:35.600 --> 0:34:38.080
<v Speaker 4>win the cy Young He's never won that award.

0:34:38.640 --> 0:34:39.439
<v Speaker 11>What would it take.

0:34:40.200 --> 0:34:44.200
<v Speaker 13>I think he's staggering ERA certainly below two, maybe below

0:34:44.280 --> 0:34:47.080
<v Speaker 13>you know one six, something like that. Uh, you know,

0:34:47.200 --> 0:34:50.000
<v Speaker 13>certainly blow one will do it. So he's knocking at

0:34:50.000 --> 0:34:52.600
<v Speaker 13>the innings those two wetter guys. You know, he's you know,

0:34:52.640 --> 0:34:54.359
<v Speaker 13>going to be on the edge of qualifying. He's got

0:34:54.400 --> 0:34:56.640
<v Speaker 13>to make sure to qualify and win the ERA title.

0:34:56.960 --> 0:34:59.279
<v Speaker 13>And I think Dave Robert says to be cogniz of that.

0:34:59.560 --> 0:35:01.640
<v Speaker 13>To make sare he gets a horn sixty two winnings,

0:35:01.760 --> 0:35:04.560
<v Speaker 13>so he qualifies as long as he does that, you know,

0:35:04.560 --> 0:35:07.040
<v Speaker 13>if he wins the er Towel, particularly a low himount,

0:35:07.680 --> 0:35:10.440
<v Speaker 13>I like his chances over Misrowski, you know, in a

0:35:10.840 --> 0:35:13.400
<v Speaker 13>Sanchez as well. And we'll see about those guys. Can

0:35:13.480 --> 0:35:16.439
<v Speaker 13>keep it up. You know, mis Roskiet thrown that hard.

0:35:16.480 --> 0:35:19.239
<v Speaker 13>Not many pitches, you know, you almost you know, rush

0:35:19.320 --> 0:35:21.399
<v Speaker 13>your fingers. I got to hope this kid never gets hurt.

0:35:21.640 --> 0:35:25.040
<v Speaker 4>Well, it's not out of the realm of possibility. It's

0:35:25.080 --> 0:35:27.600
<v Speaker 4>not out of the question for Otani to win the

0:35:27.680 --> 0:35:32.000
<v Speaker 4>cy Young and MVP, because Clayton Kershaw did that not

0:35:32.120 --> 0:35:33.800
<v Speaker 4>so long ago in twenty fourteen.

0:35:34.280 --> 0:35:37.000
<v Speaker 13>Oh absolutely, you know, Justin Verlander did it too, and

0:35:37.600 --> 0:35:41.080
<v Speaker 13>I think right now he's by far the runaway winner

0:35:41.080 --> 0:35:41.680
<v Speaker 13>for the MVP.

0:35:41.920 --> 0:35:44.120
<v Speaker 11>I don't think there's any many close to him MVP wise,

0:35:44.320 --> 0:35:45.240
<v Speaker 11>not even Matt Olsen.

0:35:45.800 --> 0:35:48.959
<v Speaker 13>I don't uh, you know, Matt Olson's had a great year,

0:35:49.280 --> 0:35:52.480
<v Speaker 13>but still there's just a big gap between and of

0:35:52.520 --> 0:35:55.120
<v Speaker 13>course the the catcher ball when he was doing great

0:35:55.160 --> 0:35:57.759
<v Speaker 13>too win Atlanta until he got hurt, and he'll take

0:35:57.800 --> 0:35:59.880
<v Speaker 13>some boats away, But no, I think it's I think

0:36:00.000 --> 0:36:01.080
<v Speaker 13>that's a big, big gap.

0:36:01.480 --> 0:36:02.800
<v Speaker 11>I really do, Bob.

0:36:03.160 --> 0:36:05.640

0:37:17.920 --> 0:37:21.120
<v Speaker 5>fastball sweeper sinker, making his fourteenth start this year. The

0:37:21.200 --> 0:37:23.520
<v Speaker 5>last two starts have been rough. He has given up

0:37:23.520 --> 0:37:25.840
<v Speaker 5>a combined thirteen earned runs. Last time out four to

0:37:25.880 --> 0:37:27.800
<v Speaker 5>two third innings six runs on seven hits on the

0:37:27.840 --> 0:37:30.400
<v Speaker 5>loss of the Atlanta Braves. Keller as a six to

<v Speaker 5>fifty nine r Ray in six career starts against the Dodgers,

0:37:33.840 --> 0:37:36.439

<v Speaker 5>six innings and his last start against him, which came

0:37:39.000 --> 0:37:41.319
<v Speaker 5>on April twenty sixth last year at Dodgers Stadium. His

0:37:41.400 --> 0:37:44.480
<v Speaker 5>last start against the Dodgers at PNC Park April twenty seventh,

0:37:44.520 --> 0:37:47.520
<v Speaker 5>twenty twenty three. He won that decision. He had ten

0:37:47.600 --> 0:37:52.560
<v Speaker 5>strikeouts over six innings. Justin Robleski on the mound for

0:37:52.719 --> 0:37:55.080
<v Speaker 5>the Dodgers seven and two with the two to sixty

0:37:55.120 --> 0:37:57.680
<v Speaker 5>two r Ray, the twenty five year old left hander

0:38:00.239 --> 0:38:02.440
<v Speaker 5>as a full time member of the rotation, He's been

0:38:02.480 --> 0:38:05.279
<v Speaker 5>really good, making his eleven start twelfth appearance, He's got

0:38:05.400 --> 0:38:08.840
<v Speaker 5>sixty eight and two third innings underneath his belt already,

0:38:08.840 --> 0:38:11.239
<v Speaker 5>which is now a career high. He is looking to

0:38:11.280 --> 0:38:13.480
<v Speaker 5>become the seventh member of the eight win club in

0:38:13.480 --> 0:38:15.479
<v Speaker 5>the major leagues, in the fifth in the National League.

0:38:15.520 --> 0:38:18.560

<v Speaker 5>the Arizona Diamondbacks last week, he scattered six hits while

0:38:21.400 --> 0:38:23.239
<v Speaker 5>striking out four. He was on his way to a

0:38:23.320 --> 0:38:26.320
<v Speaker 5>win until the Dodgers lost and he got a no decision.

0:38:26.360 --> 0:38:26.920
<v Speaker 3>In Phoenix.

0:38:27.239 --> 0:38:30.319

<v Speaker 5>the Sapporo Start get great moments started with Sapporo Beer,

0:39:31.560 --> 0:39:34.879
<v Speaker 5>variety of crisp and refreshing loggers, including light and non

0:39:34.920 --> 0:39:40.600
<v Speaker 5>alcoholic beers. Sapporo good with sushi, great with baseball. Before

0:39:40.640 --> 0:39:42.719
<v Speaker 5>first pitch, we head back out to the booth one

0:39:42.760 --> 0:39:45.200
<v Speaker 5>final time. Tim never Rickmundy, Guys.

0:39:44.960 --> 0:39:47.160
<v Speaker 2>Tim, thanks again. We're counting you down to the first pitch.

0:39:47.200 --> 0:39:49.759
<v Speaker 2>Tonight in Pittsburgh, the final game of this three games

0:39:49.800 --> 0:39:53.680
<v Speaker 2>sent even at a win apiece after the Pirates largest

0:39:53.719 --> 0:39:56.600
<v Speaker 2>comeback win of the season last night, down six to one,

0:39:56.840 --> 0:40:00.440
<v Speaker 2>came back to win at nine to eight. Tonight, Justin

0:40:00.520 --> 0:40:02.960
<v Speaker 2>Robleski gets the call. He is seven and two on

0:40:03.040 --> 0:40:06.439
<v Speaker 2>a two six two earned run average. Robusky's pitching quite

0:40:06.480 --> 0:40:08.960
<v Speaker 2>well and it seems like he has figured a lot

0:40:08.960 --> 0:40:11.240
<v Speaker 2>of things out ball pitching with a ton of confidence.

0:40:11.320 --> 0:40:13.799
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, and four and one on the road with an

0:40:13.800 --> 0:40:16.200
<v Speaker 7>ERA is two point three to one. On top of that,

0:40:16.360 --> 0:40:18.520
<v Speaker 7>just one home run of the four that he has

0:40:18.560 --> 0:40:21.680
<v Speaker 7>served up this year have been away from Dodgers Stadium,

0:40:22.000 --> 0:40:24.040
<v Speaker 7>so he has really been a breath of fresh air

0:40:24.080 --> 0:40:27.560
<v Speaker 7>when desperately needed. Because the injuries into starting rotation until

0:40:27.600 --> 0:40:30.480
<v Speaker 7>those guys get back, Robleski has really worked in there

0:40:30.560 --> 0:40:33.399
<v Speaker 7>very steadily. Dodgers have to figure out Mitch Keller. They've

0:40:33.400 --> 0:40:36.520
<v Speaker 7>seen him before. And for Keller, if you look at home,

0:40:36.600 --> 0:40:39.640
<v Speaker 7>his ERA is higher than it is on the road.

0:40:40.080 --> 0:40:42.120
<v Speaker 7>The other part two is that a Keller, he's given

0:40:42.200 --> 0:40:45.120
<v Speaker 7>up seven stolen bases. Now that may sound a little

0:40:45.120 --> 0:40:47.359
<v Speaker 7>bit high, but consider the pack last year he gave

0:40:47.440 --> 0:40:49.840
<v Speaker 7>up twenty three, so he's improved in that area. He

0:40:49.960 --> 0:40:51.359
<v Speaker 7>may cut down in the running game.

0:40:51.800 --> 0:40:55.960
<v Speaker 2>So the left handed starter formula for the Pirates has

0:40:55.960 --> 0:40:58.839
<v Speaker 2>not been good. They've got the second worst record tied

0:40:58.880 --> 0:41:02.399
<v Speaker 2>with the Rockies at five I haven twelve against left

0:41:02.400 --> 0:41:05.320
<v Speaker 2>handed starters this year. So the Dodgers hoping that comes

0:41:05.320 --> 0:41:07.879
<v Speaker 2>into play as they try to pick up a win

0:41:08.200 --> 0:41:11.680
<v Speaker 2>and take this series and block up their forty fourth

0:41:11.760 --> 0:41:15.560
<v Speaker 2>victory of the year. Dodgers and the Pirates from PNC Park,

0:41:15.600 --> 0:41:17.440
<v Speaker 2>coming up shortly, Jim all Right.

0:41:17.440 --> 0:41:20.000
<v Speaker 5>First pitch, right around the corner. Dodgers forty three and

0:41:20.040 --> 0:41:22.359
<v Speaker 5>twenty five. They go into play seven and a half

0:41:22.360 --> 0:41:25.080
<v Speaker 5>games up on the San Diego Padres, who are idle today.

0:41:25.280 --> 0:41:27.600
<v Speaker 5>They finished off their series in Cincinnati yesterday with the

0:41:27.640 --> 0:41:30.040
<v Speaker 5>win off. Today they start a three game weekend set

0:41:30.080 --> 0:41:32.880
<v Speaker 5>in Baltimore over the weekend against the Orioles. Meanwhile, the

0:41:32.920 --> 0:41:35.520
<v Speaker 5>Arizon and Diamondbacks already lost today.

0:41:35.600 --> 0:41:36.439
<v Speaker 3>They got shut out.

0:41:36.360 --> 0:41:39.759
<v Speaker 5>To nothing in Miami by the Marlins. So the Diamondbacks,

0:41:39.880 --> 0:41:42.480
<v Speaker 5>losers of three in a row, are now nine games

0:41:42.520 --> 0:41:44.799
<v Speaker 5>back in the division. So Dodgers seven and a half

0:41:44.800 --> 0:41:46.680
<v Speaker 5>games up, a chance to get a half game even

0:41:47.200 --> 0:41:49.879
<v Speaker 5>further ahead of San Diego with a win today. Take

0:41:49.920 --> 0:41:52.400
