Shortly, we'll visit with Kirsten Watson 0:01:52.440 --> 0:01:55.480 from sports net LA. It's the only sports Net LA 0:01:55.600 --> 0:01:59.640 game of this three game series.

But you know where you can always depend 0:02:07.080 --> 0:02:10.519 on Dodger Baseball, right here on your back to back 0:02:10.560 --> 0:02:13.040 world champion Dodgers Audio Network. 0:02:13.080 --> 0:02:13.960 We'll check in with. 0:02:14.320 --> 0:02:17.040 My guy, Steven Nelson and Rick Monday in a moment 0:02:17.160 --> 0:02:20.720 from our gaping four broadcast booth in the Bronx. But 0:02:20.880 --> 0:02:24.079 just to remind you what took place going into the break. 0:02:24.120 --> 0:02:27.600 The Dodgers seemed like they started the break after that 0:02:27.720 --> 0:02:30.880 Thursday day off, and they got swept for the first 0:02:30.919 --> 0:02:36.320 time this season by the Arizona Diamondbacks. Uncharacteristically, the Dodgers 0:02:36.360 --> 0:02:39.840 made nine errors in their last five games before the 0:02:39.919 --> 0:02:43.840 All Star Break. Their defense has been elite all season. 0:02:43.960 --> 0:02:48.000 They had only made twenty four airs going into the 0:02:48.120 --> 0:02:51.360 last five games of the first half. Really, the only 0:02:51.560 --> 0:02:55.720 highlight of that last Sunday at Dodgers Stadium was you 0:02:55.840 --> 0:02:57.440 know who show Heyo. 0:02:57.440 --> 0:03:01.840 Tani offtaned hitter waits he swings hits a drive tape 0:03:01.840 --> 0:03:03.840 center failed way back. 0:03:03.639 --> 0:03:08.840 It cause it has gone another one. The show starts 0:03:08.960 --> 0:03:13.600 right away on the first pitch, his thirty third career 0:03:13.840 --> 0:03:20.360 leadoff home run ninth this year. Won nothing Dodgers more 0:03:20.800 --> 0:03:22.880 instant offense from the Show. 0:03:22.639 --> 0:03:23.520 That Never ends. 0:03:25.480 --> 0:03:26.519 Remarkable that show. 0:03:26.560 --> 0:03:29.840 He Otani could homer and double Knowing that he was 0:03:29.960 --> 0:03:33.680 going to have his left knee drained earlier today, Dave 0:03:33.800 --> 0:03:37.840 Roberts said that O'tani did not have his knee drained. 0:03:37.880 --> 0:03:41.400 He just got a lubricant injection in that left knee 0:03:41.400 --> 0:03:43.960 and good news, O'tani is leading off tonight as the 0:03:44.000 --> 0:03:47.600 Dodgers DH and is expected to do that all three 0:03:47.720 --> 0:03:48.720 games here. 0:03:48.840 --> 0:03:49.680 In the Bronx. 0:03:49.800 --> 0:03:52.440 So we'll turn the page like the Dodgers are to 0:03:52.480 --> 0:03:54.880 the second half of the season as they begin play 0:03:54.960 --> 0:03:58.800 with this three game series against the Yankees. Roki Sasaki 0:03:58.800 --> 0:04:01.720 on the mound, first pitch at four five, with more, 0:04:01.800 --> 0:04:04.600 we turn it over to Rick Monday and Steven Nelson 0:04:04.840 --> 0:04:08.960 right here in our galloping Ford Broadcast booth in the Bronx. 0:04:09.040 --> 0:04:10.680 Guys, thank you DV. 0:04:10.760 --> 0:04:13.080 As you can tell from five feet behind us, it 0:04:13.160 --> 0:04:16.120 is a beautiful Friday evening that we have on tap. 0:04:16.240 --> 0:04:19.359 Though there is rain in the forecast on Saturday, but 0:04:19.400 --> 0:04:21.760 that's in the future. Rick Monday, the president, right now, 0:04:21.839 --> 0:04:22.400 the first thing? 0:04:22.440 --> 0:04:24.159 Can they tell from five feet behind you? 0:04:24.240 --> 0:04:24.280 No? 0:04:24.360 --> 0:04:26.600 No, Well DV can look because he's right here, he's 0:04:26.640 --> 0:04:27.560 right next to us in the booth. 0:04:27.600 --> 0:04:29.280 Yeah, you know what I mean. They have to squimt 0:04:29.400 --> 0:04:32.680 it mo. How the heck are you? After that, all 0:04:32.680 --> 0:04:36.120 start doing very well and hopefully the doctors have been 0:04:36.160 --> 0:04:37.719 able to get a little bit of a respite and 0:04:37.800 --> 0:04:41.279 come out I think running full speed because of losing 0:04:41.279 --> 0:04:44.040 three straight coming into the end of the break, not 0:04:44.080 --> 0:04:46.320 what they wanted to do lost five of seven coming 0:04:46.360 --> 0:04:48.120 to the break. That's not what they wanted to do, 0:04:48.200 --> 0:04:51.080 and they open up into Big Apple. So yeah, it's 0:04:51.160 --> 0:04:53.640 it's one of those things. Yeah, little strains flying in 0:04:53.760 --> 0:04:55.799 last night because of all the smoke from the Canadian 0:04:55.839 --> 0:04:59.040 fires that they've got. Fortunately that's cleared up a great 0:04:59.080 --> 0:05:02.520 deal today. But as you're mentioning, the weather man has 0:05:02.640 --> 0:05:05.240 at least not been then that thoughtful as far as 0:05:05.279 --> 0:05:08.360 predictions for tomorrow. But that's tomorrow. Win a ball game tonight. 0:05:08.560 --> 0:05:11.640 The Dodgers, despite that brutal final week where they were 0:05:11.680 --> 0:05:14.680 just sloppy, it looked like a team that was ready 0:05:14.680 --> 0:05:17.000 for the All Star break and the way that they 0:05:17.000 --> 0:05:20.000 played baseball. Despite that doomo, there's still eleven and a 0:05:20.040 --> 0:05:22.120 half clear in the division, the best record of Major 0:05:22.160 --> 0:05:24.360 League Baseball. And here we are back in the Bronx 0:05:24.400 --> 0:05:26.920 for the first time since Game five of the twenty 0:05:26.960 --> 0:05:30.560 twenty four World Series. You, myself down McDonald were back 0:05:30.600 --> 0:05:32.839 in the same spots we were as we watched the 0:05:32.839 --> 0:05:35.640 Dodgers win the first of two championships in a row. 0:05:35.760 --> 0:05:40.440 Yeah, it was a little it was a little well festival. Yeah, 0:05:40.440 --> 0:05:42.040 you might say that when we left, but we did 0:05:42.040 --> 0:05:44.760 not leave the stadium until about three o'clock in the 0:05:44.760 --> 0:05:47.640 morning to get to the get to the airport, and 0:05:47.800 --> 0:05:50.920 what a flight that was going back to la with 0:05:51.040 --> 0:05:53.960 the World championship. So that was then, this is now. 0:05:54.240 --> 0:05:56.360 The Yankees are very aware of it. I can make 0:05:56.400 --> 0:05:59.599 one prediction right now, Okay, as the pitchers will be 0:05:59.680 --> 0:06:02.240 Rookie Susaki going for the Dodgers, it's going to be 0:06:02.279 --> 0:06:05.239 Garrett Cole on the mound for the New York Yankees. 0:06:05.720 --> 0:06:09.520 I guarantee you that Garrett Cole will cover first base 0:06:09.600 --> 0:06:11.760 on anything that's in to his first baseman that they 0:06:11.760 --> 0:06:16.120 did not do in that disastrous fifth inning of the 0:06:16.160 --> 0:06:19.080 deciding game of the World Series in twenty four. Well, 0:06:19.120 --> 0:06:20.159 that is an excellent prediction. 0:06:20.240 --> 0:06:23.760 The Yankees' staff, in fact, just finished doing PFTs and 0:06:23.800 --> 0:06:25.760 I wonder if they told Garrett, Garret, we don't even 0:06:25.760 --> 0:06:26.960 care if you pick up the ball, just run for 0:06:27.040 --> 0:06:27.560 the mount. 0:06:27.360 --> 0:06:27.920 Of first base. 0:06:28.000 --> 0:06:30.159 Yeah. I imagine he's already been talked to. He's in 0:06:30.200 --> 0:06:32.360 the locker room. But this is a good matchup and 0:06:32.640 --> 0:06:34.599 no question about it. I mean, the Yankees have tried 0:06:34.640 --> 0:06:37.280 to make some Hey, they're three games out in the 0:06:37.320 --> 0:06:40.320 American League, Eastern Division for first place. Tampa's holding onto 0:06:40.360 --> 0:06:43.760 it very well to this particular point, Boston trying to 0:06:43.800 --> 0:06:46.200 play much better. They're ten games out, but Boss has 0:06:46.240 --> 0:06:49.279 won nine of their last ten games. And if you 0:06:49.320 --> 0:06:52.520 look at the Nation League West, yes, the Dodgers eleven 0:06:52.520 --> 0:06:54.720 and a half in front of Arizona, twelve and a 0:06:54.760 --> 0:06:57.320 half in front of San Diego. But we'll see how 0:06:57.360 --> 0:07:01.039 they're going to answer the bill post break, because it 0:07:01.120 --> 0:07:03.120 looked like they had an early break. They did not 0:07:03.240 --> 0:07:05.880 hit well, they did not field well, and quite frankly, 0:07:06.160 --> 0:07:07.240 they didn't pitch well either. 0:07:07.520 --> 0:07:10.880 Let's see if they have indeed flushed that away and 0:07:10.960 --> 0:07:13.680 are ready for the stretch run into the postseason. 0:07:13.760 --> 0:07:14.920 Dvs. We get it back to you. 0:07:15.040 --> 0:07:18.480 There are games in series that just feel bigger over 0:07:18.480 --> 0:07:21.240 the course of one sixty two. Dodgers and Yankees certainly 0:07:21.320 --> 0:07:22.320 qualifies as. 0:07:22.200 --> 0:07:26.280 That, no doubt, a lot of history between these two teams, 0:07:26.280 --> 0:07:30.000 and usually Rick Monday lights me at least seven feet 0:07:30.160 --> 0:07:30.680 from him. 0:07:30.760 --> 0:07:31.920 So five will have to do. 0:07:32.120 --> 0:07:36.040 Right now, Dodger fans, as we count down to first pitch, Dot, 0:07:36.040 --> 0:07:39.760 we get your game day meal at Shaky's Pizza Parterer Parlor. 0:07:40.160 --> 0:07:44.120 Order your Shaky's Pizza, Chicken and Mojo's now at Shakey's 0:07:44.200 --> 0:07:48.760 dot Com.

But next we'll get. 0:07:56.720 --> 0:08:00.280 You your Otani rewind. We'll rewind to the first half 0:08:00.320 --> 0:08:03.760 of the season. First pitch from the Bronx is coming 0:08:03.840 --> 0:08:07.720 up at four oh five, Rochi Sasaki against Garrett Cole. 0:08:08.040 --> 0:08:10.680 I'm David Vasse and this is the back to back 0:08:10.680 --> 0:08:13.040 World champion Dodgers Audio Network. 0:08:17.520 --> 0:08:22.800 This is Morongo Casino Dodgers game on your home for 0:08:23.160 --> 0:08:24.680 La Dodgers Baseball. 0:08:27.400 --> 0:08:30.760 We are live at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx as 0:08:30.840 --> 0:08:34.439 the Dodgers and Yankees are getting said for a three 0:08:34.520 --> 0:08:38.200 game series with Garrett Cole facing the Dodgers at Yankee 0:08:38.240 --> 0:08:42.360 Stadium for the first time since Game five. Roki Sasaki 0:08:42.400 --> 0:08:44.880 will be on the mound for the Dodgers. First pitch 0:08:45.000 --> 0:08:46.720 is coming up at four oh five. 0:08:47.920 --> 0:08:50.800 This is the Otani rewide. 0:08:51.120 --> 0:08:54.000 Right out of the stretch from the belt delivers a 0:08:54.080 --> 0:08:55.880 two to one swining out of a hammer to a 0:08:55.960 --> 0:08:56.800 right field and deep. 0:08:57.120 --> 0:08:59.719 That's Paul going back and off the wall. 0:08:59.480 --> 0:09:02.760 And writes Otani around first and he was chugging in 0:09:02.840 --> 0:09:03.480 the second. 0:09:03.720 --> 0:09:05.720 We'll a lead off stand up double. 0:09:07.480 --> 0:09:10.760 Shoe a O'tani was the highlight of that final Sunday 0:09:10.800 --> 0:09:13.800 before the All Star Break. As you know, Otani did 0:09:13.800 --> 0:09:17.640 not go to Philadelphia for the Midsummer Classic. Instead, he 0:09:17.800 --> 0:09:20.640 nursed his left knee and he did not have the 0:09:20.720 --> 0:09:24.800 left knee drained, but he did have a lubricant injection 0:09:25.360 --> 0:09:28.320 in that left knee.

Since the Dodgers beat the 0:10:07.840 --> 0:10:11.120 Yankees in Game five of the twenty four World Series. 0:10:11.280 --> 0:10:14.000 What do you remember the most about the last time 0:10:14.040 --> 0:10:14.600 we were here? 0:10:15.120 --> 0:10:16.959 So many things I remember. It's funny. 0:10:16.960 --> 0:10:18.679 I feel like I remember the beginning of the game 0:10:18.800 --> 0:10:21.479 and playing from behind, and then I remember the insane 0:10:21.559 --> 0:10:25.000 moment when everything shifted, because we were actually sitting next 0:10:25.000 --> 0:10:27.680 to each other upstairs in the press box, and I 0:10:27.800 --> 0:10:29.800 just remember we were kind of like, all right, Okay, 0:10:29.840 --> 0:10:31.400 well it seems like we're going to force a game, 0:10:31.440 --> 0:10:33.200 We're going to go to a game six, that I'll 0:10:33.280 --> 0:10:35.520 be back in Los Angeles. We were kind of thinking 0:10:35.600 --> 0:10:39.280 ahead to that, and then all of a sudden, everything shifted. 0:10:39.480 --> 0:10:40.920 It was just like what. 0:10:41.080 --> 0:10:44.000 Garrett holes on the mound, and I don't remember the specifics, 0:10:44.040 --> 0:10:46.400 but no one was at first to cover the base, 0:10:46.440 --> 0:10:48.520 and or Garrett wasn't at first to cover the base. 0:10:48.760 --> 0:10:51.800 Luka gets on and then everything just kind of for 0:10:51.880 --> 0:10:55.800 the Yankees downfalled, but for the Dodgers picks back up, 0:10:55.800 --> 0:10:57.280 and the next thing I knew, the team was on 0:10:57.320 --> 0:11:00.160 the field celebrating, hoisting up the trophy and we were 0:11:00.200 --> 0:11:01.640 on a plane back to Los Angeles. 0:11:01.679 --> 0:11:03.280 So yeah, it's kind of crazy to think that that's 0:11:03.280 --> 0:11:03.800 the last time. 0:11:03.720 --> 0:11:06.640 We were here and that was your first World Championship 0:11:06.800 --> 0:11:08.079 champagne celebration. 0:11:09.040 --> 0:11:10.400 That was a fun one. 0:11:10.440 --> 0:11:11.280 That was a fun one. 0:11:11.480 --> 0:11:13.720 It was insane like it was one of those things 0:11:13.720 --> 0:11:15.359 where you couldn't have asked. 0:11:15.080 --> 0:11:17.280 For a better script in regard to it was the Dodgers, 0:11:17.320 --> 0:11:20.640 it was the Yankees. It was two iconic franchises, two iconic. 0:11:20.360 --> 0:11:23.200 Cities, and you know, there was a lot of thought 0:11:23.240 --> 0:11:25.000 of going into that series. It was going to be 0:11:25.000 --> 0:11:27.160 an intense one and for the Dodgers to. 0:11:27.160 --> 0:11:30.760 Win in five, it was, Yeah, it was. It was incredible. 0:11:30.920 --> 0:11:32.400 To do it again last year it was even better. 0:11:32.520 --> 0:11:35.280 And you'll be a dug outside for the game tonight. 0:11:35.840 --> 0:11:37.439 Have you ever done it here? 0:11:37.840 --> 0:11:38.200 Yes? 0:11:38.400 --> 0:11:40.000 So the last it would have been that two years 0:11:40.040 --> 0:11:42.480 ago because we had played the series here, but I 0:11:42.520 --> 0:11:45.560 remember all three games were national but because the Dodgers 0:11:45.559 --> 0:11:47.920 and Yankees hadn't played so long in New York City, 0:11:48.240 --> 0:11:50.959 we actually had a split broadcast with Apple TV for 0:11:51.080 --> 0:11:53.880 the Friday night so two years ago here, So that 0:11:54.000 --> 0:11:56.719 was my first time over here at Yankee Stadium, being 0:11:56.800 --> 0:11:57.160 on the field. 0:11:57.200 --> 0:11:59.000 It is pretty incredible for someone who went to school 0:11:59.040 --> 0:11:59.360 up here. 0:12:00.320 --> 0:12:03.280 All right, we'll be cool down here. The air condition 0:12:03.400 --> 0:12:06.400 should be flowing. So thank you for the time, and 0:12:06.559 --> 0:12:07.720 enjoy the next two days. 0:12:07.800 --> 0:12:09.520 All right, I can't wait.

As we get set for first pitch 0:12:57.720 --> 0:13:00.479 between the Dodgers and Yankee. 0:13:01.280 --> 0:13:05.840 This is the LA Dodgers Injury Report. 0:13:06.920 --> 0:13:10.520 You're back to back World champion Dodgers Injury Report, presented 0:13:10.559 --> 0:13:14.720 by UCLA Health, the official medical partner of the Los 0:13:14.800 --> 0:13:18.880 Angeles Dodgers. Blake trying and joined us on Dodger Talk 0:13:19.000 --> 0:13:21.679 last night. He said he's feeling really good. He still 0:13:21.720 --> 0:13:25.960 has to make a rehab assignment or two. Dave Roberts said, 0:13:25.960 --> 0:13:29.920 Will Smith has shut down doing anything and it doesn't 0:13:29.920 --> 0:13:34.000 seem like he's going to be back anytime before the 0:13:34.120 --> 0:13:39.480 end of August. Key Hernandez and Blake Snell are in Tacoma. 0:13:38.880 --> 0:13:40.280 With Oklahoma City. 0:13:40.400 --> 0:13:44.079 Keyk is starting his rehab assignment and told us he 0:13:44.160 --> 0:13:47.839 will return when the Dodgers return from this nine game 0:13:47.920 --> 0:13:51.160 East Coast road trip, and Blake Snell will make his 0:13:51.360 --> 0:13:57.479 first rehab start tomorrow for Oklahoma City against Tacoma. 0:13:57.800 --> 0:13:58.240 All Right. 0:13:58.400 --> 0:14:01.480 We also had Mark Pryor on Dodger Talk last night, 0:14:01.559 --> 0:14:04.480 and I picked his brain on how the Dodgers plan 0:14:04.679 --> 0:14:09.240 on managing Otani's pitching schedule the second half of the season. 0:14:09.880 --> 0:14:11.680 You know, I'm pretty much the same way we've always 0:14:11.679 --> 0:14:14.480 managed to. You know, we we go kind of day 0:14:14.520 --> 0:14:16.720 by day or start to start, and obviously there's a 0:14:16.760 --> 0:14:20.000 week between those starts usually, and we're trying to listen 0:14:20.000 --> 0:14:21.640 to the show as much as possible, and I mean 0:14:21.800 --> 0:14:23.880 to be able to him to manage his workload between 0:14:23.920 --> 0:14:26.000 the hitting, you know, how much he's on the base 0:14:26.080 --> 0:14:29.640 pass you know, sometimes I think dictates that. You know, 0:14:30.040 --> 0:14:32.160 we all like it when it goes over the park early, 0:14:32.320 --> 0:14:35.360 over the fence, it's easier to kind of jog around 0:14:35.400 --> 0:14:38.360 the bases. But we just kind of go day by day, 0:14:38.480 --> 0:14:40.200 you know, and see where we're at. And so we'll 0:14:40.240 --> 0:14:42.400 just continue to kind of take that philosophy and then 0:14:42.440 --> 0:14:44.800 try to really understand where he's at. And if there's 0:14:44.840 --> 0:14:47.720 moments where it's not you know, perfect between the knee 0:14:48.040 --> 0:14:51.000 or whatever, he's just fatigued and tired from you know, 0:14:51.040 --> 0:14:52.000 playing the game. 0:14:51.840 --> 0:14:53.000 Then we have to adjust. 0:14:53.040 --> 0:14:55.600 And I think that you know, we've kind of calculated 0:14:55.640 --> 0:14:58.360 that into you know, how we built the staff and 0:14:58.720 --> 0:15:01.520 what we have to do. That's usually why we've kind 0:15:01.520 --> 0:15:03.440 of put them in certain days, you know, through the 0:15:03.480 --> 0:15:05.920 first half of the season on Wednesdays so hopefully capture 0:15:05.960 --> 0:15:08.760 those off days. So, I mean, there's all those things. 0:15:08.800 --> 0:15:11.000 We try to use those tools at our advantage, but 0:15:11.000 --> 0:15:12.440 at the end of the day, it's you know, really 0:15:12.480 --> 0:15:14.160 trying to get an understanding of where he's at day 0:15:14.200 --> 0:15:16.400 to day, and that's kind of how we've put it 0:15:16.400 --> 0:15:18.200 out these last year and a half as he's pitched, 0:15:18.520 --> 0:15:20.400 and I feel like that's probably just the way we're 0:15:20.440 --> 0:15:23.200 going to continue to go this second half, and then 0:15:23.400 --> 0:15:26.000 you know, things come up, we'll make decisions accordingly. 0:15:27.240 --> 0:15:30.960 Sounds like a really good game plan, obviously. And for 0:15:31.040 --> 0:15:33.720 those that think the Dodgers are taken off guard by 0:15:33.800 --> 0:15:36.040 any of this, they're not. They have a plan, and 0:15:36.120 --> 0:15:39.240 Mark Pryor just said right there, they built the staff 0:15:39.480 --> 0:15:42.600 for the variables that do come with the most unique 0:15:42.640 --> 0:15:45.240 player in all a Major League Baseball. To hear the 0:15:45.240 --> 0:15:48.800 full conversation with Dodgers pitching coach Mark Pryor, you can 0:15:48.880 --> 0:15:52.480 find it under Dodger Talk on the iHeartRadio app. And 0:15:52.480 --> 0:15:57.240 Otani will start Wednesday in Philadelphia because the Dodgers have 0:15:57.320 --> 0:15:58.880 a day off on Thursday. 0:15:59.280 --> 0:16:00.080 All right, When we. 0:16:00.120 --> 0:16:04.720 Continue live from Yankee Stadium in Morongo, Casino, Dodgers on Deck, 0:16:05.000 --> 0:16:07.360 you'll hear from Mookie Betts as we lead you up 0:16:07.400 --> 0:16:11.080 to first pitch between the Dodgers and Yankees from the. 0:16:11.000 --> 0:16:14.240 Bronx at four to oh five.

A lot of memorable moments here at 0:17:14.359 --> 0:17:17.520 Yankee Stadium with Mooki and the Dodgers in twenty four 0:17:17.680 --> 0:17:20.560 Fans trying to grab his glove and take the ball out, 0:17:20.880 --> 0:17:25.159 Garrett Cole and Anthony Rizzo not covering first base, Mookie 0:17:25.200 --> 0:17:29.080 running hard, and that's when the fifth inning comeback all started. 0:17:29.680 --> 0:17:33.520 Mookie Betts, also over the All Star Break, announced that 0:17:33.760 --> 0:17:37.159 he is launching his own baseball. 0:17:36.640 --> 0:17:38.360 Glove apparel line. 0:17:38.640 --> 0:17:41.240 Had a chance to catch up with the Dodgers shortstop 0:17:41.320 --> 0:17:42.160 earlier today. 0:17:42.720 --> 0:17:46.720 Yeah, I've been using it all year. Just want to 0:17:46.800 --> 0:17:50.960 just create something for the players and for the kids especially. 0:17:52.040 --> 0:17:54.879 I know these this glove breaks in so well. I 0:17:54.920 --> 0:17:57.800 love the shape of it. It's easy for kids to 0:17:57.840 --> 0:18:01.320 break in. I know sometimes with some other gloves it's 0:18:01.480 --> 0:18:03.280 it's hard for those kids to break in. They take 0:18:03.320 --> 0:18:07.240 like months to break in, but this is you take 0:18:07.359 --> 0:18:10.359 maybe a week if you're a kid, and you'll be 0:18:10.400 --> 0:18:12.520 able to use it, and it's like you can really 0:18:12.600 --> 0:18:17.119 customize it and show who you are as a person 0:18:17.119 --> 0:18:17.640 on your glove. 0:18:17.840 --> 0:18:21.159 The cost of equipment for kids to play baseball is 0:18:21.200 --> 0:18:23.800 pretty high these days, is are you is there a 0:18:23.840 --> 0:18:25.919 plan to try to get it into the hands of 0:18:26.040 --> 0:18:29.080 kids that really can't afford baseball equipment. 0:18:29.280 --> 0:18:32.000 Yeah, we'll make sure, we we make sure, we'll make sure. 0:18:31.880 --> 0:18:32.360 We do that. 0:18:32.480 --> 0:18:35.680 I mean, obviously there's a business, right so, I mean 0:18:36.800 --> 0:18:39.160 we have to just figure out like your business model 0:18:39.200 --> 0:18:42.760 and and what not to kind of keep up because, 0:18:43.000 --> 0:18:45.480 like you said, it's so it's really just expensive to 0:18:46.480 --> 0:18:50.040 get into this business in general. So but definitely there's 0:18:50.119 --> 0:18:52.919 definitely things we're going to do to make sure that 0:18:53.000 --> 0:18:54.600 we get it to the to the kids that can't 0:18:54.600 --> 0:18:57.440 afford it, Just do our part. 0:18:58.440 --> 0:19:01.359 Speaking of your glove, your glove it was grabbed in 0:19:01.400 --> 0:19:05.399 the stands and right field. Do you what do you 0:19:05.440 --> 0:19:07.920 remember coming back here any of those memories from twenty 0:19:07.960 --> 0:19:11.680 four that in right field? You know, you beating out 0:19:11.720 --> 0:19:15.399 that ground ball that nobody covered first space? What do 0:19:15.440 --> 0:19:17.800 you remember about all that coming back here for the 0:19:17.800 --> 0:19:18.320 first time. 0:19:18.680 --> 0:19:19.800 I mean, I remember all of it. 0:19:19.840 --> 0:19:20.000 You know. 0:19:20.080 --> 0:19:23.000 That was that was a crazy That was a crazy game, 0:19:23.040 --> 0:19:25.480 crazy situation. Honestly, when I came in, I wasn't thinking 0:19:25.560 --> 0:19:27.479 I forgot about all that. I wasn't I wasn't even 0:19:27.480 --> 0:19:29.720 thinking about any of that, you know, and just here 0:19:30.160 --> 0:19:35.320 focused on today. Yeah, it's I'm glad you reminded me 0:19:35.359 --> 0:19:38.159 of it. You didn't say anything. I definitely wouldn't have 0:19:38.160 --> 0:19:39.399 thought about it. 0:19:39.359 --> 0:19:41.480 It's gont mad if you've been on a baseball. 0:19:41.080 --> 0:19:44.560 Field, Yeah, because baseball is kind of hard to get 0:19:45.480 --> 0:19:48.600 mad at someone else, particularly, I mean, I guess you could. 0:19:48.760 --> 0:19:52.399 I'm not that kind of guy. So yeah, it's probably 0:19:52.359 --> 0:19:53.120
