Dodgers a few days off and now 0:04:25.000 --> 0:04:28.679 they're in Philadelphia, PA for the start of a five 0:04:28.880 --> 0:04:33.080 game divisional series show, Hey Otani on the mound in 0:04:33.120 --> 0:04:36.479 this series opener, First Bitch from Citizens Bank Park is 0:04:36.520 --> 0:04:39.200 coming up at three thirty eight and with more we 0:04:39.279 --> 0:04:41.600 head out to the Galpin Motors broadcast booth as we 0:04:41.600 --> 0:04:42.120 welcome in. 0:04:42.279 --> 0:04:44.320 Steven Nelson and Rick Monday. 0:04:44.400 --> 0:04:47.640 Guys, sim Kates, we are joining you from the Bank 0:04:47.720 --> 0:04:51.680 Citizens Bank Ballpark, Philadelphia, PA, the city of brotherly love 0:04:52.160 --> 0:04:54.560 and the sight of games one and two of the 0:04:54.640 --> 0:04:57.839 National League Division Series. And you have teams number one 0:04:57.920 --> 0:05:01.960 and two in most people's mind in the National League. 0:05:01.960 --> 0:05:03.880 And that is with respect to the Milwaukee Brewers, who 0:05:03.880 --> 0:05:06.000 got out to a great start in their series against Chicago. 0:05:06.240 --> 0:05:09.360 But the Phillies and the Dodgers, probably the two most 0:05:09.360 --> 0:05:12.960 talented rosters in this league, only five games to decide 0:05:13.000 --> 0:05:14.240 who moves on to the LCS. 0:05:14.760 --> 0:05:17.240 I look, I don't think anybody had to set their 0:05:17.320 --> 0:05:19.680 alarm clock this morning to wake up because there's a 0:05:19.680 --> 0:05:22.320 lot of electricity in this city, There's no question about it. 0:05:22.560 --> 0:05:24.600 They had thirty one thousand that came in the other 0:05:24.680 --> 0:05:26.719 day just to watch his scrimmage by the Phillies. The 0:05:26.760 --> 0:05:31.920 Dodgers equal in interest. Also going on I really look 0:05:31.960 --> 0:05:35.599 at this series, Steven as if both teams play well, 0:05:35.760 --> 0:05:38.760 and both teams play it for the capabilities, this is 0:05:38.800 --> 0:05:41.040 going to be a series that's going to be remembered 0:05:41.080 --> 0:05:44.440 in baseball because these are two very good. 0:05:44.200 --> 0:05:48.320 Teams and you have two top offenses, two terrific starting 0:05:48.360 --> 0:05:52.919 pitching staffs, and two kind of shaky bullpens. And so 0:05:53.320 --> 0:05:57.680 tonight it'll be Christopher Sanchez, a talented left four Philadelphia, 0:05:57.720 --> 0:06:01.720 and then shohe Otani making his postseason pitching debut. One 0:06:01.760 --> 0:06:04.840 hundred career starts in the regular season, but the October 0:06:04.880 --> 0:06:07.679 stage is different, and shohe admitted yesterday that there's probably 0:06:07.680 --> 0:06:09.800 gonna be some nerves, which is rare for him. For 0:06:09.839 --> 0:06:11.760 her last postseason, his debut for the Dodgers, he was 0:06:11.760 --> 0:06:14.599 at are you nervous and he goes no, So Ty's 0:06:14.600 --> 0:06:15.440 gonna be a little different. 0:06:15.440 --> 0:06:17.760 He's a difficult guy to read. We've been trying to 0:06:17.760 --> 0:06:21.039 read him all year long. Yeah, he's tough. And I 0:06:21.080 --> 0:06:22.960 say that because I was on the bus with him 0:06:23.000 --> 0:06:24.159 coming to the ballpark today. 0:06:24.640 --> 0:06:25.279 He was as. 0:06:25.160 --> 0:06:29.000 Calm and cool and collective on the exterior. Don't know 0:06:29.040 --> 0:06:32.200 if it's a hurricane going on inside. But he was 0:06:32.279 --> 0:06:34.200 just that way. Let me give you a quote that 0:06:34.240 --> 0:06:36.240 I saw today that I think really sums it up. 0:06:36.240 --> 0:06:38.560 Bill Bunk of the Orange County Register, who travels with 0:06:38.600 --> 0:06:40.680 the ball club and that reports on them. Here was 0:06:40.680 --> 0:06:44.599 his quote in talking about Otani and pitching today. It's 0:06:44.680 --> 0:06:47.479 time for Superman to put on his cape. 0:06:48.040 --> 0:06:50.640 And there has there's rarely been a moment that shohe 0:06:50.800 --> 0:06:53.279 Oldtani has not meant in his career. He faced the 0:06:53.279 --> 0:06:57.160 Phillies just a few weeks ago September sixteenth, the Dodgers Stadium. 0:06:57.400 --> 0:07:00.280 He dealt five no hit innings against them. What kind 0:07:00.279 --> 0:07:03.360 of adjustments are made for both sides tonight? We will 0:07:03.360 --> 0:07:05.040 find out in a matter of ours.

Of course as a 0:08:49.360 --> 0:08:51.720 DH as he wasn't he's still coming back from having 0:08:51.760 --> 0:08:55.160 surgery on his elbow. This year, he's already been on 0:08:55.200 --> 0:08:57.480 a tear to start the wild Card. You know, now 0:08:57.520 --> 0:08:59.600 he comes into this series, he's going to be the 0:08:59.679 --> 0:09:02.040 star in this game. It's his first, as you mentioned, 0:09:02.280 --> 0:09:05.480 his first pitching game in the postseason. And so when 0:09:05.480 --> 0:09:07.880 you have this moment, of course there's a lot of 0:09:07.920 --> 0:09:10.320 excitement from everyone around just the fact that he's going 0:09:10.320 --> 0:09:14.680 to be starting this game leading off offensively. So even 0:09:14.679 --> 0:09:16.880 with talking to Dave Roberts, he was saying, you know, 0:09:16.920 --> 0:09:18.520 you kind of have a moment where you take a 0:09:18.559 --> 0:09:21.960 step back and have this realization of what's actually happening 0:09:22.000 --> 0:09:24.880 and how special this is. Of course you maintain you know, 0:09:25.200 --> 0:09:28.240 Shohey is a huge competitor and I love actually what 0:09:28.280 --> 0:09:31.320 Andrew Friedman at this afternoon he was saying, there's something 0:09:31.880 --> 0:09:34.640 about how this all has played out. How last year 0:09:34.679 --> 0:09:37.600 he had his first experience in the postseason. Yes he 0:09:37.679 --> 0:09:39.320 was as the DH, but he was able to kind 0:09:39.360 --> 0:09:43.560 of experience that ultimately winning the World Series. Having that, 0:09:43.760 --> 0:09:47.120 now you come in year two, you understand what the 0:09:47.120 --> 0:09:50.120 stakes are in the postseason. You understand the adrenaline rush, 0:09:50.200 --> 0:09:53.679 the luck, and the focus, and now you get to 0:09:53.679 --> 0:09:56.240 do it as a pitcher in year two, so you 0:09:56.280 --> 0:09:58.640 know when it comes to show. Hey, he talked last 0:09:58.720 --> 0:10:01.560 night about their might be an uptick in velocity. That's 0:10:01.559 --> 0:10:04.200 obviously a thing that we see amongst pictures, especially on 0:10:04.200 --> 0:10:06.800 the big stage come October, and so he said that 0:10:06.920 --> 0:10:09.400 might be a thing. His focus is that, yes, he's 0:10:09.400 --> 0:10:11.559 probably gonna have a few nerves and he's on the mound, 0:10:11.600 --> 0:10:13.360 but just to make sure he's honing in on his 0:10:13.400 --> 0:10:16.960 command and his control, trying to control the emotions that 0:10:17.000 --> 0:10:20.080 he can. But he's excited, you know, he wants to 0:10:20.120 --> 0:10:22.640 be He lives for these moments and everyone has said 0:10:22.760 --> 0:10:25.720 he kind of made a turn in September. He started 0:10:25.760 --> 0:10:27.840 to lock in. Obviously down the mound. The numbers have 0:10:27.920 --> 0:10:31.320 been excellent, posting a zero era for the month. So 0:10:31.720 --> 0:10:34.120 for him to come into this one and he feels great, 0:10:34.200 --> 0:10:36.480 and the hope is that he can set the tone 0:10:36.559 --> 0:10:38.679 in this series, and if they can find a way 0:10:38.720 --> 0:10:40.760 to take Game one, I think that would be huge 0:10:40.760 --> 0:10:42.920 for what they're looking to do in this NLDS. 0:10:43.240 --> 0:10:46.680 Looking at the roster for this NLDS, couple of changes 0:10:46.800 --> 0:10:47.880 to the pitching staff. 0:10:48.400 --> 0:10:50.600 Yeah, a couple of changes in the bullpen. So we 0:10:50.679 --> 0:10:52.640 knew that Clayton Kershar was going to be a part 0:10:52.679 --> 0:10:56.160 of the NLDS roster in some capacity. They confirmed of course, 0:10:56.200 --> 0:10:57.599 with him being on the roster, he's going to be 0:10:57.640 --> 0:11:00.360 a part of the bullpen, so of course that's going 0:11:00.400 --> 0:11:02.280 to be a key arm for this group. Then you've 0:11:02.280 --> 0:11:05.600 got Anthony Bonda back on the roster. Dave Roberts also 0:11:05.600 --> 0:11:08.520 talks about him and just how valuable when you look 0:11:08.559 --> 0:11:11.880 at the Phillies lineup, you know, having a good amount 0:11:11.880 --> 0:11:14.199 of lefties in the bullpen and how they can attack them, 0:11:14.240 --> 0:11:16.280 that's going to be huge. So you add those two 0:11:16.400 --> 0:11:20.400 back in, so there's no Justin Brobleski, no Edgardo Henriquez. 0:11:21.120 --> 0:11:23.520 Dave did say that Justin one was a tough conversation 0:11:23.679 --> 0:11:25.679 just because obviously Justin has been so good out of 0:11:25.720 --> 0:11:28.120 the bullpen and consistent out of the bullpen, and of 0:11:28.200 --> 0:11:30.600 course when you have someone like Clayton Kersha understanding what 0:11:30.640 --> 0:11:33.160 the usage is going to look like. The good news 0:11:33.200 --> 0:11:35.040 is in this series, the off days are going to 0:11:35.080 --> 0:11:38.360 benefit the group. They're only carrying eleven pictures. Then you add, 0:11:38.400 --> 0:11:41.079 of course Shohatani to make it technically twelve. But by 0:11:41.120 --> 0:11:44.200 only carrying eleven pictures fifteen position players, they're in a 0:11:44.240 --> 0:11:46.640 good spot because of course it's game one off day, 0:11:46.720 --> 0:11:48.920 Game two off day, then three and four would be 0:11:48.960 --> 0:11:50.920 back to back if they force a game five, who 0:11:50.920 --> 0:11:52.959 would come after an off day. So they feel like 0:11:53.000 --> 0:11:55.640 they have really good coverage in this game tonight. If 0:11:55.679 --> 0:11:58.640 they decide to pull this string, they will have Tyler 0:11:58.679 --> 0:12:02.000 Glass now available of the bullpen, but he's expected to 0:12:02.040 --> 0:12:04.760 start Game four as well. So they've got, you know, 0:12:04.880 --> 0:12:07.040 a good collective of how they can kind of bring 0:12:07.040 --> 0:12:09.959 this together and string the bullpen together. So we'll see, 0:12:10.080 --> 0:12:10.959 we'll see what happens. 0:12:11.160 --> 0:12:13.400 We'll find out here shortly, Kirsten, we appreciate it. We'll 0:12:13.480 --> 0:12:15.040 check in with you after the game. Still they come here, 0:12:15.040 --> 0:12:17.840 I'm Wrongo Casino Dodgers on deck.

The pitching matchup, first pitch coming up. 0:13:07.440 --> 0:13:10.559 Questions for Dave, Dave? Can you just describe Dave? Can 0:13:10.600 --> 0:13:12.280 you talk about the pressure. 0:13:12.679 --> 0:13:18.160 In the dugouts with Dave Robberts, Yeah, I think you know, 0:13:18.480 --> 0:13:22.000 as he takes the mound for the bottom half, I'm 0:13:22.040 --> 0:13:24.800 going to take a moment just to appreciate, you know, 0:13:25.000 --> 0:13:32.160 him doing something really unprecedented. He's done a tremendous deal 0:13:32.240 --> 0:13:35.320 for our ball club on a micro level, obviously with 0:13:35.400 --> 0:13:39.120 the talent, the two way player, but you know, much 0:13:39.160 --> 0:13:42.640 more broad for baseball. You know, he's just a player 0:13:42.720 --> 0:13:43.880 that people have to. 0:13:43.840 --> 0:13:44.880 See, want to go see. 0:13:44.920 --> 0:13:48.679 So it's just been so uh, you know, a huge 0:13:48.720 --> 0:13:50.240 benefit to our game, which is great. 0:13:50.920 --> 0:13:52.960 This will be a first experience for him. He talked 0:13:53.000 --> 0:13:56.640 yesterday about there might be some nerves, an uptake in velocity. 0:13:56.960 --> 0:13:59.080 Do you think just last year as a DH in 0:13:59.120 --> 0:14:00.559 the postseason and even and if you look at the 0:14:00.559 --> 0:14:03.640 wild card that as a position player can prepare him 0:14:03.679 --> 0:14:04.839 as a starter in this game. 0:14:05.800 --> 0:14:06.480 I think, you. 0:14:06.440 --> 0:14:10.280 Know, I just believe that his whole life has been 0:14:11.200 --> 0:14:17.200 about preparing him for big moments, and he never gets 0:14:17.400 --> 0:14:21.600 out of himself, never lets the emotions or the moment 0:14:21.680 --> 0:14:25.960 get too big. Seems like he's always under control. He's 0:14:26.000 --> 0:14:34.760 obviously got a very precise routine. 0:14:32.120 --> 0:14:34.320 So I expect him to perform. 0:14:34.000 --> 0:14:39.920 Well in the box, on the mound and just control 0:14:40.000 --> 0:14:42.280 those emotions. But you know, having him get through the 0:14:42.320 --> 0:14:45.800 sixth inning in Arizona, so as far as kind of usage, 0:14:45.840 --> 0:14:46.960 I feel good where he's at. 0:14:47.880 --> 0:14:49.160 You a Fabian here in the second row. 0:14:52.920 --> 0:14:55.880 Yeah, Dave is Will Smith and as to start this series, 0:14:55.920 --> 0:14:57.320 and how close is he to that point where you 0:14:57.400 --> 0:15:00.000 feel comfortable catching him for nine innings? 0:15:00.000 --> 0:15:02.280 He's close, you know. 0:15:02.440 --> 0:15:04.960 With with Will, we just haven't had the chance to 0:15:05.040 --> 0:15:07.640 do the build up as far as the rehab, the 0:15:07.640 --> 0:15:11.760 catching five innings, the sixth innies, sevens, let alone the 0:15:11.840 --> 0:15:14.800 nine innings, and he hasn't caught in you know, four weeks. 0:15:16.040 --> 0:15:19.160 So you know, yeah, I mean you're gonna have to. 0:15:19.480 --> 0:15:21.440 I'm trying to find a jumping off point that would 0:15:21.520 --> 0:15:25.720 kind of play the middle the slice. So there's a 0:15:25.800 --> 0:15:28.040 chance that he can come into tonight's game and kind 0:15:28.040 --> 0:15:31.960 of you know, get his feet wet a little bit. 0:15:32.240 --> 0:15:33.760 So, but yeah, he's. 0:15:33.560 --> 0:15:36.600 Close, baby, and I just don't know when, but he's 0:15:36.640 --> 0:15:37.400 he's very close. 0:15:37.480 --> 0:15:40.440 Yes, And obviously you kind of said that Krishaw's gonna 0:15:40.440 --> 0:15:42.600 have the roster went into some of the other decisions, 0:15:42.640 --> 0:15:45.280 putting Bonda on, taking Ribleski and Henriquez off. 0:15:45.960 --> 0:15:50.160 Well, you know, with Enriquez it was a little bit 0:15:50.240 --> 0:15:52.400 easier in the sense of the way they construct their 0:15:52.800 --> 0:15:57.440 their lineup. It's it's heavy left. You got Glass in 0:15:57.520 --> 0:16:01.840 the pen, for this game, we got some other right handers. 0:16:01.600 --> 0:16:03.760 It's a lot of left handed lanes. 0:16:05.680 --> 0:16:08.400 I think with Robo was really difficult because he's performed 0:16:08.400 --> 0:16:14.400 so well, and I can't really justify it, to be 0:16:14.440 --> 0:16:16.760 honest with you, I think that we just wanted Clayton. 0:16:16.800 --> 0:16:20.280 Clayton's earned the opportunity to be on this roster. I'm 0:16:20.280 --> 0:16:23.120 going to use them accordingly. And then also with Bonda, 0:16:23.480 --> 0:16:26.960 just kind of his skill set is to really take 0:16:26.960 --> 0:16:30.080 down left hand hitters so specifically, so that was kind 0:16:30.120 --> 0:16:31.360 of the thought on both those guys. 0:16:31.520 --> 0:16:33.840 All right, there's the manager, Dave Roberts, giving an updates 0:16:33.840 --> 0:16:37.360 on Otani, Will Smith not in the lineup today and 0:16:37.560 --> 0:16:40.880 what the decision making process was for swapping out two 0:16:40.960 --> 0:16:43.920 guys in the pitching staff and bringing in Banda and 0:16:44.000 --> 0:16:46.360 Clayton Kershaw. When we continue here, I'm wrong because you 0:16:46.360 --> 0:16:48.400 know Dodgers on deck. We all check in with the 0:16:49.240 --> 0:16:51.120 David Vass saying gets you all the latest as we 0:16:51.240 --> 0:16:53.360 leave you up to first pitch game one of the 0:16:53.480 --> 0:16:56.240 n l DS Dodgers and Phillies from Philadelphia. I'm Tim 0:16:56.320 --> 0:16:59.040 Kats's World champion at Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network. 0:17:00.680 --> 0:17:05.399 As we were saying, this is Marongo Casino, Dodgers on 0:17:05.600 --> 0:17:12.240 deck on the official home of La Dodgers Baseball. 0:17:10.720 --> 0:17:14.120 Dodgers and Phillies, Game one of the National League Divisional Series. Show, 0:17:14.160 --> 0:17:16.239 Hey O Tany on the mound, first pitch coming up 0:17:16.400 --> 0:17:17.280 at three thirty. 0:17:17.080 --> 0:17:21.880 Eight, joining Tim Kats on Dodgers on Deck. 0:17:21.960 --> 0:17:23.800 I accept everybody for who they are. 0:17:23.840 --> 0:17:27.000 This is Dodger insider David Basse. 0:17:27.240 --> 0:17:27.800 All right, DV. 0:17:27.880 --> 0:17:30.040 As we get closer to the first pitch, what's it 0:17:30.200 --> 0:17:31.560 like is Citizens Bank Park? 0:17:32.640 --> 0:17:34.919 Well, the fans are starting to fill up here. I 0:17:35.000 --> 0:17:37.800 was on the concourse about a half hour ago and 0:17:38.280 --> 0:17:41.639 there is long lines for the food, the drinks. They 0:17:41.680 --> 0:17:44.360 are getting all their stuff ready to go before they 0:17:44.400 --> 0:17:47.879 take their positions in their spots. I did spot a 0:17:47.880 --> 0:17:51.240 couple of Dodger fans, but this is Philly all the 0:17:51.240 --> 0:17:54.359 way and around the city. Tim a lot of Philly 0:17:54.440 --> 0:17:58.520 fans wearing Phillies hats, Philly's T shirts. So it is 0:17:58.600 --> 0:18:01.280 going to be electric tonight for Game one of the 0:18:01.359 --> 0:18:03.040 NLDS in this stadium. 0:18:03.400 --> 0:18:06.280 David will Smith on the roster. 0:18:07.119 --> 0:18:09.159 We've been hearing that he's good to go. What's the 0:18:09.240 --> 0:18:11.000 latest because he's not starting. 0:18:10.600 --> 0:18:14.640 Today, Yes, but there's a very good chance you could 0:18:14.720 --> 0:18:17.040 see him come into the game not only as a 0:18:17.080 --> 0:18:20.520 pin hitter, but possibly even stay in the game and 0:18:20.600 --> 0:18:25.119 catch once he does take that pinchit. Will Smith was 0:18:25.160 --> 0:18:27.960 in the interview room earlier today and we try to 0:18:27.960 --> 0:18:31.200 get more into where he's at with that right hand. 0:18:31.640 --> 0:18:33.480 You know, it's definitely still the rehabit on the hand, 0:18:33.480 --> 0:18:35.800 but definitely you know, making sure the shoulder's not getting 0:18:35.840 --> 0:18:37.840 banged up, the hips, the legs, all that. Just kind 0:18:37.880 --> 0:18:41.399 of getting my feetback under me. So yeah, we're just 0:18:41.400 --> 0:18:42.679 trying to be smart about it. You know, it's it's 0:18:42.680 --> 0:18:44.719 a long month, but also you know there's some urgency 0:18:44.720 --> 0:18:47.240 to win now obviously, so just trying to kind of 0:18:47.240 --> 0:18:49.560 weigh both of those and go from there. I mean, 0:18:49.560 --> 0:18:51.119 I feel like I could go nine innings right now 0:18:51.160 --> 0:18:52.280 and be and be good. 0:18:53.800 --> 0:18:56.120 Well, he may not go nine innings tonight, but there's 0:18:56.119 --> 0:18:59.320 a very good chance he may go nine innings in Game. 0:18:59.119 --> 0:19:00.680 Two of this series. 0:19:00.800 --> 0:19:04.359 Because he went out to the bullpen earlier this afternoon 0:19:04.400 --> 0:19:07.359 to catch Blake Snell, the Game two starter. 0:19:07.480 --> 0:19:08.480 He was in full gear. 0:19:08.840 --> 0:19:11.400 Blake told me that Will was throwing the baseball back 0:19:11.440 --> 0:19:11.800 to him. 0:19:12.040 --> 0:19:13.520 He looked good. He's ready to go. 0:19:13.680 --> 0:19:16.800 So there's a very good chance it's the battery of 0:19:16.840 --> 0:19:20.720 Blake Snell and Will Smith in Game two of the NLDS. 0:19:20.240 --> 0:19:21.800 The David is brought to you by Ford. It's time 0:19:21.840 --> 0:19:24.280 to see Ford in a new light, all right, show 0:19:24.359 --> 0:19:28.040 Hill Tani gets to start. What's the possible plan after him? 0:19:28.119 --> 0:19:29.560 David Well. 0:19:29.640 --> 0:19:33.200 Dave Roberts was very candid yesterday at the workout when 0:19:33.240 --> 0:19:36.919
