He allowed 0:02:00.120 --> 0:02:03.080 six runs on five hits and struck out five along 0:02:03.120 --> 0:02:05.160 the way Dodgers game in the early one to nothing 0:02:05.280 --> 0:02:07.800 lead thanks to a solo home run from sho hey 0:02:07.800 --> 0:02:10.640 Otani in the third, his second of the season. A 0:02:10.760 --> 0:02:13.639 four hundred and thirty eight foot shot. Dodgers rough one 0:02:13.639 --> 0:02:16.519 to nothing. The bottom of the third inning, Luis Garcia 0:02:16.600 --> 0:02:19.240 Junior with a two run home run, and the Dodgers 0:02:19.280 --> 0:02:21.520 found themselves down two to one. In the fourth inning, 0:02:21.800 --> 0:02:25.079 some unlucky magic I guess for the Dodgers, whatever you 0:02:25.120 --> 0:02:27.680 want to call it, A ball hits the bag at first, 0:02:27.760 --> 0:02:30.560 goes over the head of Freddie Freeman. Caber Luiz gets 0:02:30.560 --> 0:02:33.320 an RBI single, Then two batters later, James would a 0:02:33.320 --> 0:02:34.280 three run home run. 0:02:34.639 --> 0:02:36.920 Just like that, the Nationals flipped the script up six 0:02:37.040 --> 0:02:37.399 to one. 0:02:37.800 --> 0:02:40.880 Dodgers down in the sixth inning, but not out thanks 0:02:40.919 --> 0:02:41.760 to Dalton Rushing. 0:02:42.160 --> 0:02:46.520 Puland's two to two pitch to Dalton Rushing, and Rushing 0:02:46.720 --> 0:02:48.880 hits it high in the ear to right field in 0:02:48.960 --> 0:02:51.440 deep Wood is back. He is at the wall and 0:02:51.639 --> 0:02:57.280 it's into the National bullpen. Dalton Rushing chips away in 0:02:57.400 --> 0:03:01.520 a big way, a two run home and it's now 0:03:01.760 --> 0:03:06.320 six to three on Dalton Rushings first of the year. 0:03:06.600 --> 0:03:09.839 Two run home run for the Dodger catcher. Dodgers down 0:03:09.960 --> 0:03:11.920 six to three. You knew they were going to make 0:03:12.000 --> 0:03:14.639 another effort late in this game to get back into it, 0:03:14.639 --> 0:03:16.240 and that's exactly what they did. 0:03:16.320 --> 0:03:17.120 In the eighth. 0:03:17.280 --> 0:03:22.000 The Dodgers loaded the bases, nobody out for Santiago Espenal. 0:03:22.600 --> 0:03:25.360 Still one and two on spen All bases loaded, no outs. 0:03:25.440 --> 0:03:28.480 The pitch spen All in the air left center field, 0:03:28.760 --> 0:03:32.760 down for a hit. One run is in. Freeman scores. 0:03:32.840 --> 0:03:35.760 Here comes Pa has to throw his late it's a 0:03:35.920 --> 0:03:40.920 one run game. Spin All drives in a pair and 0:03:41.040 --> 0:03:44.760 the Dodgers have something special cooking in the eighth. 0:03:44.920 --> 0:03:47.320 Well, that's a big advent obviously in this ball game. 0:03:47.360 --> 0:03:50.640 In for Espinal, remember he was down one ball, two strikes. 0:03:51.040 --> 0:03:55.760 He fouled off a breaking ball and then he got 0:03:55.800 --> 0:03:59.040 another pitch and just sent it into left center field. 0:04:00.080 --> 0:04:02.920 Thiago Espinal with the two runs single, Dodges down six 0:04:03.000 --> 0:04:05.720 to five, and they weren't done. Kyle Tucker comes off 0:04:05.760 --> 0:04:08.200 the bench as a pinch hitter fielders choice. S gooins 0:04:08.280 --> 0:04:11.480 Alex call that tied the game at six and show 0:04:11.480 --> 0:04:15.080 Hey otanias sackfly to left that brought in the go 0:04:15.120 --> 0:04:18.040 ahead run. Dodgers with four runs in the eighth yesterday 0:04:18.200 --> 0:04:20.880 took the lead seven to sixth The Taskar Hernandez a 0:04:20.920 --> 0:04:22.960 solo home run to left in the ninth made it 0:04:23.000 --> 0:04:25.920 an eight to six game, and when Diaz ballgame over 0:04:26.000 --> 0:04:28.240 closed out the bottom half of the ninth inning got 0:04:28.240 --> 0:04:31.159 all three batters that he faced as the Dodgers, with 0:04:31.279 --> 0:04:34.039 their fifth comfort behind win of this season, beat the 0:04:34.160 --> 0:04:37.960 Washington Nationals eight to six. Year Final. Dodgers waited out 0:04:38.000 --> 0:04:39.880 the rain delay and they get the win. It was 0:04:39.920 --> 0:04:42.080 worth it now seven to two on this season, a 0:04:42.160 --> 0:04:44.240 day at which Mookie Betts went on the injured list, 0:04:44.360 --> 0:04:46.840 the Dodgers still able to get the victory, and now 0:04:46.920 --> 0:04:50.240 they're in Toronto for the first of three against the 0:04:50.240 --> 0:04:54.400 Blue Jays, a rematch of last year's World Series. Justin 0:04:54.480 --> 0:04:56.960 Robleski on the mount in the series opener, first pitch 0:04:57.000 --> 0:04:58.840 at four to zero seven. With more we head out 0:04:58.839 --> 0:05:01.640 to the Calvin Ford broadcast both as we say hello 0:05:01.960 --> 0:05:04.000 to Steven Nelson and Rick Monday. 0:05:04.040 --> 0:05:08.960 Guys, Tim Kats, it is great to be back in Toronto, 0:05:09.040 --> 0:05:12.320 the Dodgers and Blue Jays meeting for the first time 0:05:12.520 --> 0:05:15.600 in one hundred and fifty seven days. Moll, that's how 0:05:15.680 --> 0:05:18.840 much time has passed since Game seven of an epic 0:05:18.880 --> 0:05:22.159 World Series between these two clubs. And it could have 0:05:22.240 --> 0:05:25.279 gone either way and almost did in that series, but 0:05:25.360 --> 0:05:26.800 ultimately the Dodgers went back to back. 0:05:26.800 --> 0:05:26.960 There. 0:05:27.000 --> 0:05:29.800 Everybody talks about Game seven, and I mean it was 0:05:30.120 --> 0:05:33.680 a time capsule Game seven, but Game six could have 0:05:33.720 --> 0:05:37.360 been ended also with the Toronto winning the World Championship. 0:05:37.400 --> 0:05:40.400 That happened to not take place. But I think this 0:05:40.440 --> 0:05:42.719 is going to be interesting tonight to see exactly what happens. 0:05:42.760 --> 0:05:47.400 Who gets booed? Rableski, Who's going to start? Yeah, he 0:05:47.480 --> 0:05:49.960 hit a batter during the World Series. They had a 0:05:50.040 --> 0:05:52.799 benches emptied, and he says, I expect to get booed. 0:05:53.520 --> 0:05:56.839 But I think the overall flavor in this town. You know, 0:05:56.920 --> 0:06:01.640 the wound is still rather fresh in fifty seven days. Yeah, 0:06:01.720 --> 0:06:03.800 and I know what it feels like to face the 0:06:03.839 --> 0:06:06.320 team that beat you in the World Series. Experienced it 0:06:06.360 --> 0:06:09.080 a couple of different times, and it is painful. It 0:06:09.200 --> 0:06:12.200 is a wound. And the question is the Dodgers took 0:06:12.240 --> 0:06:14.559 care of business. You and I talked about this. Dodgers 0:06:14.600 --> 0:06:18.520 took care of business against the Nationals. They swept that series. Well, Toronto, 0:06:18.560 --> 0:06:20.480 were they looking ahead to this series a little bit 0:06:20.480 --> 0:06:22.440 too much? Because they not only lost the series of 0:06:22.520 --> 0:06:25.919 the White Sox, they also lost to the Sacramento A's 0:06:26.320 --> 0:06:29.480 and do they have focus. Although I'll say this, Toronto 0:06:29.800 --> 0:06:33.120 is banged up physically and they got a big injury 0:06:33.160 --> 0:06:35.360 they they found out it's even more compounded today. 0:06:35.520 --> 0:06:38.640 Yeah, that would be Alejandro Kirk. You talk about painful 0:06:38.680 --> 0:06:40.600 memories of Game seven, There's been a lot of pain 0:06:40.640 --> 0:06:41.960 here in twenty twenty six for. 0:06:41.880 --> 0:06:42.520 The Blue Jays. 0:06:42.560 --> 0:06:46.120 No Jose Burrios, no Shane Bieber, trey Ya Savage, who 0:06:46.160 --> 0:06:48.200 burst onto the scene against the Dodgers in the World 0:06:48.200 --> 0:06:50.600 Series and through that postseason, he is on the injury 0:06:50.640 --> 0:06:54.360 ass Cody Ponce, a free agent started they signed from overseas. 0:06:54.680 --> 0:06:56.920 He messed up his ACL He's going to be out 0:06:56.960 --> 0:06:59.159 for a long time. And then Alejandro Kirk, their catcher, 0:06:59.160 --> 0:07:01.720 it took a foul ball off of his thumb on 0:07:01.720 --> 0:07:03.840 his glove hand as a catcher and he had to 0:07:03.880 --> 0:07:04.560 have surgery. 0:07:04.680 --> 0:07:05.360 So he has done. 0:07:05.400 --> 0:07:08.960 Addison Barger exited the series finel against the White Sox 0:07:09.000 --> 0:07:13.440 with two ankle injuries. And Anthony Santunder, who was a 0:07:13.480 --> 0:07:16.040 free agent signing two off seasons ago, He's going to 0:07:16.080 --> 0:07:18.120 be out for a long time too. So the Dodgers 0:07:18.160 --> 0:07:20.679 look they're missing some pieces from that World Series run. Obviously, 0:07:21.120 --> 0:07:24.200 Blake Snell is not here, Keith A. Hernandez is not here, 0:07:24.240 --> 0:07:27.160 but Andy Pajes is here, and he's the National League 0:07:27.160 --> 0:07:28.880 Player of the week well and for good reason. 0:07:28.920 --> 0:07:32.200 So Paz has just done everything in my estimation, I mean, 0:07:32.280 --> 0:07:35.400 the start that he's gotten off to, it's the best 0:07:35.640 --> 0:07:38.080 I think, concentrated area that we have seen this young 0:07:38.120 --> 0:07:42.040 man who just continues to grow, not only offensively but defensively. 0:07:42.080 --> 0:07:44.480 He's running the bases better. On top of it, he's 0:07:44.480 --> 0:07:47.560 a guy that's all of a sudden he's realized he belongs. 0:07:47.640 --> 0:07:49.680 Not only belongs in the big leagues, but he could 0:07:49.680 --> 0:07:52.080 be a big, big influence on what happens in the 0:07:52.120 --> 0:07:56.240 lineup for Dave Roberts elevates him tonight in batting the 0:07:56.320 --> 0:07:58.480 number six point one lineup. 0:07:58.520 --> 0:08:00.680 Note you may have seen the Initi lineup and know 0:08:00.800 --> 0:08:03.640 Will Smith there and alarm bills may have been ringing 0:08:03.680 --> 0:08:06.080 for any of you at home. You can turn those 0:08:06.160 --> 0:08:10.240 alarms off, tim It is just a scheduling reason for 0:08:10.480 --> 0:08:13.040 Will Smith not being in there today. Dave Roberts wants 0:08:13.040 --> 0:08:16.040 Will Smith behind the plate for Yoshinobu Yamamoto and show 0:08:16.080 --> 0:08:19.240 hi Otani starts in this series, so dunt rushing, he 0:08:19.280 --> 0:08:21.559 will take the first crack at it in this series opener, 0:08:21.680 --> 0:08:23.960 we back with a little bit in a bit with 0:08:24.040 --> 0:08:26.080 some keys from mo until then we send it back 0:08:26.120 --> 0:08:26.640 to the studio. 0:08:26.680 --> 0:08:28.280 All right, thank you, Nelly, so we caun't you down 0:08:28.320 --> 0:08:30.840 the first pitch.

It's a 0:11:18.520 --> 0:11:21.160 return to the scene of the crime, Game seven of 0:11:21.200 --> 0:11:24.360 the World Series last November, first Dodger's back there for 0:11:24.400 --> 0:11:25.560 the first time since then. 0:11:25.920 --> 0:11:26.640 What is it like? 0:11:26.760 --> 0:11:28.880 Hereson you know. 0:11:28.880 --> 0:11:32.560 What it's there's a lot of familiarity. That's what it 0:11:32.600 --> 0:11:34.600 feels like being back, and you talk to the guys, 0:11:34.640 --> 0:11:36.400 a few of them are like, it kind of feels 0:11:36.440 --> 0:11:38.800 like we were just here, going back into the hotel. We're 0:11:38.800 --> 0:11:40.360 in the same one that we stayed in when the 0:11:40.400 --> 0:11:42.920 team is here for the World Series. Just being back 0:11:42.960 --> 0:11:45.120 out here, there are so many of those memories. And 0:11:45.160 --> 0:11:48.400 then of course it's the excitement of winning the World Series. 0:11:48.480 --> 0:11:50.600 So you know, right now, it's like when you talk 0:11:50.640 --> 0:11:53.280 to the guys, it's a lot about just what do 0:11:53.280 --> 0:11:56.480 you remember from that game certain moments. Of course, we 0:11:56.520 --> 0:11:59.000 think Andy Paus's catch has come up quite a bit. 0:11:59.320 --> 0:12:01.800 The double play that ended the game has come up. 0:12:02.640 --> 0:12:05.240 Even Dave Roberts was laughing. He was just more of like, 0:12:06.080 --> 0:12:08.559 when he looks at the feeling he has right now 0:12:08.720 --> 0:12:12.560 being in Rogers Center is as far from as anxious 0:12:12.640 --> 0:12:15.440 as he was last year. Obviously, when this team came in, 0:12:15.520 --> 0:12:17.960 they were in a situation where the Blue Jays had 0:12:18.000 --> 0:12:19.840 to win and they had to win one and the 0:12:19.840 --> 0:12:22.040 Dodgers had to win two, and they were they were 0:12:22.120 --> 0:12:25.200 able to, you know, obviously pick up Game six and 0:12:25.559 --> 0:12:28.720 Game seven and facing elimination. So there's a lot of 0:12:28.760 --> 0:12:31.240 really just that there's the excitement of kind of being 0:12:31.559 --> 0:12:35.320 where it all happened, but also there's that feeling of Okay, 0:12:35.440 --> 0:12:37.520 well that was last year. This is a new team 0:12:37.559 --> 0:12:39.640 this year. We have a new goal this year and 0:12:39.640 --> 0:12:42.720 it includes winning the World Series again, creating a three 0:12:42.760 --> 0:12:44.880 p and that's kind of where their mind is at 0:12:44.920 --> 0:12:45.640 at this moment. 0:12:46.080 --> 0:12:49.559 Looking at the lineup right now today, no Will Smith 0:12:49.679 --> 0:12:52.559 in the lineup. Interesting back to back days not in 0:12:52.600 --> 0:12:54.720 the lineup exactly. 0:12:54.760 --> 0:12:57.480 So when we were in DC, Dave Roberts did make 0:12:57.520 --> 0:12:59.760 it clear that he wanted to have adult Rutching start 0:12:59.760 --> 0:13:03.360 one of those three just so that you know that 0:13:03.520 --> 0:13:05.559 Will could be ready. But for this three game series, 0:13:05.559 --> 0:13:08.360 of course they're playing on turf here. But Dave Roberts 0:13:08.400 --> 0:13:10.040 did say that when he saw just kind of a 0:13:10.040 --> 0:13:12.320 party of a bad city, sew them doun't rushing yesterday. 0:13:12.440 --> 0:13:14.280 Of course, you know that home run that put them 0:13:14.320 --> 0:13:17.840 even in a position to really force that comeback against 0:13:17.840 --> 0:13:20.320 the Nationals. He liked that, and he also just looked 0:13:20.320 --> 0:13:23.200 at with this series. He wanted to make sure that 0:13:23.440 --> 0:13:25.680 Dalton got to start in this one and that Will 0:13:25.800 --> 0:13:28.079 was playing two of three, so he just felt like 0:13:28.120 --> 0:13:29.800 it made the most sense for it get him to 0:13:29.880 --> 0:13:33.680 start this one. You know, we obviously hear load management 0:13:33.679 --> 0:13:35.520 and a lot of different sports and all, so I 0:13:35.559 --> 0:13:37.439 think that's like the correct way of saying it for 0:13:37.600 --> 0:13:39.200 what they're doing with Will Smith. But they do want 0:13:39.200 --> 0:13:41.719 to be very mindful of just making sure that he's 0:13:41.800 --> 0:13:44.360 kind of getting maybe like two of three per series, 0:13:44.559 --> 0:13:46.640 especially early, you know in the year. 0:13:47.400 --> 0:13:49.320 Well he gets a day off to at least start 0:13:49.360 --> 0:13:52.800 the game today, maybe some more lady heroic from Will 0:13:52.880 --> 0:13:56.800 Smith will find out how Yeah, absolutely, Garson enjoy it 0:13:57.000 --> 0:13:58.640 head on a swivel. Of course, with all those Blue 0:13:58.720 --> 0:14:01.520 Jay fans there inside Rogers Centators where you're seeing it 0:14:01.559 --> 0:14:01.959 during the game. 0:14:02.000 --> 0:14:02.600 Still they come here. 0:14:02.600 --> 0:14:05.080 I'm Wrongo Casino, Dodgers on deck. We'll dive deeper into 0:14:05.080 --> 0:14:08.000 this pitching matchup David Vasse. We'll check in throughout the 0:14:08.040 --> 0:14:10.440 hour as well. But up next your injury report and 0:14:10.840 --> 0:14:13.400 we hear from Dodgers manager Dave Roberts. It's the Dodgers 0:14:13.440 --> 0:14:15.200 in Blue Jays and Rogers Center in Toronto. 0:14:15.280 --> 0:14:16.360 First pitch at four old seven. 0:14:16.440 --> 0:14:18.600 I'm Tim Katson, the Back to Back World Champion Dodgers 0:14:18.880 --> 0:14:19.880 Audio Network. 0:14:21.960 --> 0:14:28.040 This is Marongo Casino Dodgers on Deck on your home 0:14:28.120 --> 0:14:30.040 for the Blue All season long. 0:14:31.000 --> 0:14:34.480 Wrongo Casino Dodgers on Deck continues as we leach up 0:14:34.520 --> 0:14:36.360 to first pitch Dodgers and the Blue Jays on this 0:14:36.440 --> 0:14:40.320 Monday afternoon Maronggo Casino Resort and Spa a grand slam 0:14:40.400 --> 0:14:43.320 for a good times. Justin Robletsky on the mount first pitch, 0:14:43.800 --> 0:14:44.520 four oh seven. 0:14:46.160 --> 0:14:50.000 It's the LA Dodgers Injury Report. 0:14:49.720 --> 0:14:53.080 Presented by UCLA Healthy Official medical partner the Los Angeles Dodgers. 0:14:53.080 --> 0:14:55.280 Mookie Bets on the iel with the right obleague strain, 0:14:55.480 --> 0:14:58.640 Tommy Emmon on the IEL recovering from off season ankle surgery. 0:14:58.680 --> 0:15:01.400 Blake Snell, Brock Stewart, where is our Grouderol Land and Neck, 0:15:01.440 --> 0:15:04.560 Gavin Stone, Evan Phillips all on the injured. 0:15:04.200 --> 0:15:04.640 List as well. 0:15:04.760 --> 0:15:08.400 Keiki Hernandez on the sixty dail To start twenty twenty six, 0:15:08.480 --> 0:15:10.800 Let's head back out north of the border and get 0:15:10.840 --> 0:15:13.000 the pregame thoughts of the Dodger skipper. 0:15:13.320 --> 0:15:16.440 Any questions for Dave? Dave? 0:15:16.520 --> 0:15:18.360 Can you just describe Dave? 0:15:18.440 --> 0:15:20.280 Can you talk about the pressure. 0:15:20.680 --> 0:15:23.400 In the dugouts? With Dave Roberts. 0:15:24.200 --> 0:15:28.960 Yeah, it feels obviously a lot of great memories. I 0:15:28.960 --> 0:15:30.840 think the thing that I feel is I don't feel 0:15:30.880 --> 0:15:34.800 as much anxiousness as I did the last time. We 0:15:34.880 --> 0:15:39.000 hear understandably so so to come back here and the 0:15:39.040 --> 0:15:44.280 stakes aren't as high as they were in October, it's different. 0:15:44.920 --> 0:15:47.840 But I'm sure the players will be ready to go, 0:15:47.920 --> 0:15:50.640 and the fans are going to be pretty excited. 0:15:50.400 --> 0:15:51.440 Focusing on the players. 0:15:51.440 --> 0:15:53.560 And you look at this lineup today, No Will Smith. 0:15:53.960 --> 0:15:56.040 What led us to that decision to have him ountain 0:15:56.040 --> 0:15:56.320 this game? 0:15:57.160 --> 0:15:57.320 You know? 0:15:57.640 --> 0:16:01.240 I think it was just more of king at the 0:16:01.280 --> 0:16:05.440 schedule and trying to get Dalton in there one game, 0:16:06.200 --> 0:16:09.640 and I really wanted a will to catch Yamamoto and 0:16:09.720 --> 0:16:13.200 show hey got in late last night. Dalton hit a 0:16:13.200 --> 0:16:16.560 homer yesterday, so I felt to get him back in there, 0:16:16.560 --> 0:16:18.640 I thought was a good thing. So it just made sense. 0:16:18.680 --> 0:16:21.960 And he'll play two or three this series and two 0:16:22.080 --> 0:16:24.680 or three the next series and we get home dude 0:16:24.720 --> 0:16:25.120 expects We. 0:16:25.320 --> 0:16:29.080 Started two times a week starts for Dalton early obviously time. 0:16:29.680 --> 0:16:31.320 I think, so, yeah, I like that. 0:16:31.440 --> 0:16:34.320 I mean, I wouldn't say hard and fast, but if 0:16:34.360 --> 0:16:35.840 we can get him a couple starts in a week. 0:16:35.880 --> 0:16:38.480 I think that'd be nice times. 0:16:38.520 --> 0:16:40.640 If you watched the Pie Has Catch. 0:16:42.280 --> 0:16:45.880 I would say probably you know it's you see it, 0:16:46.360 --> 0:16:48.760 you know, at different times on the highlights, So I 0:16:48.760 --> 0:16:50.320 would say probably a dozen times. 0:16:51.280 --> 0:16:54.720 I think I've listened to it, probably fifteen times. Dave Roberts, 0:16:54.720 --> 0:16:57.880 it never gets old hearing those catches from Pie Has, 0:16:57.880 --> 0:17:00.480 the infield play for Miguel Rojas and the ninth and 0:17:00.560 --> 0:17:02.720 of course the home run from Rojas, the whole run 0:17:02.720 --> 0:17:05.240 from Will Smith, and then of course Stephen Nelson's final 0:17:05.280 --> 0:17:09.080 call epic and will always be legendary. When we continue 0:17:09.080 --> 0:17:11.600 here on Morongo Casino Dodgers on Deck, we'll check in. 0:17:11.640 --> 0:17:13.639 With another legend, David Vesse. 0:17:14.240 --> 0:17:16.560 That's next as we leach out to First Pitch Dodgers 0:17:16.880 --> 0:17:19.160 and Blue Jays, a rematch of the World Series from 0:17:19.160 --> 0:17:21.000 Toronto of Tim Kates. Is the batch to back World 0:17:21.080 --> 0:17:25.399 champion Dodgers Audio Network. 0:17:25.440 --> 0:17:30.159 As we were saying, this is Morongo Casino Dodgers on 0:17:30.359 --> 0:17:35.120 jack on the official home of La Dodgers Baseball. 0:17:37.800 --> 0:17:39.879 It's a Dodgers in Blue Jays, the start of a 0:17:39.920 --> 0:17:41.719 three game series from Toronto. 0:17:41.840 --> 0:17:43.560 First Pitch and the Rogers Centers. Coming up at four 0:17:43.640 --> 0:17:43.960 zero seven. 0:17:43.960 --> 0:17:46.600 Dodgers Baseball, brought to you by l Pato, born in 0:17:46.760 --> 0:17:49.760 la and made for your game day. Lapoto brings authentic 0:17:49.840 --> 0:17:53.439 Mexican style tomato sauces, sauces and hot sauces to your table. 0:17:53.440 --> 0:17:55.440 El Pato Gourmet. 0:17:55.320 --> 0:17:56.120 And a can. 0:17:57.680 --> 0:17:59.680 Joining Tim Kats on Dodgers on. 0:18:00.200 --> 0:18:01.960 I accept everybody for who they are. 0:18:02.080 --> 0:18:04.680 This is Dodger insider. 0:18:04.440 --> 0:18:08.400 David all Right, DV. It was November one last fall. 0:18:08.480 --> 0:18:10.640 Doesn't seem like a long time ago that the Dodgers 0:18:10.640 --> 0:18:13.200 won Game seven of that World Series and here they 0:18:13.280 --> 0:18:16.480 are started the season back at the Rogers Center. 0:18:17.000 --> 0:18:20.080 Yeah, and being at the same team hotel as they 0:18:20.119 --> 0:18:23.359 were during the World Series last year. I took the 0:18:23.359 --> 0:18:27.879 same walk back to the hotel and to Rogers Center 0:18:28.240 --> 0:18:30.240 a few times last year, and I took. 0:18:30.040 --> 0:18:32.160 The same path today. 0:18:32.440 --> 0:18:35.240 And maybe the reason why it feel so similar to 0:18:35.400 --> 0:18:38.840 last year is because the temperatures outside tim are thirty 0:18:38.880 --> 0:18:44.280 five degrees similar to what they were last October and November. 0:18:44.320 --> 0:18:47.400 But players have their own different feelings. You'll hear from 0:18:47.400 --> 0:18:51.000 Miguel Rojas a little bit later. But some have told 0:18:51.000 --> 0:18:53.800 me to turn the page and move on to this 0:18:53.880 --> 0:18:55.680 year others are you know. 0:18:55.840 --> 0:18:57.920 Enjoying returning to Toronto. 0:18:58.800 --> 0:19:02.080 I think part of the reason why everybody's so excited 0:19:02.119 --> 0:19:05.359 about this series is because it's happening on the first 0:19:05.400 --> 0:19:07.679 road trip of the year, the first two weeks of 0:19:07.720 --> 0:19:10.480 the season, and it was the greatest World Series we've 0:19:10.520 --> 0:19:13.800 all witnessed. If this is taking place in August, I 0:19:13.840 --> 0:19:17.440 feel like the emotions would be more validated to turn 0:19:17.520 --> 0:19:21.480
