We'll dive deeper to this pitching matchup. 0:01:19.319 --> 0:01:22.920 David Basse goes one on one with Jason Hayward, now 0:01:22.959 --> 0:01:25.640 returning in a new role with the Dodgers in the 0:01:25.680 --> 0:01:29.920 front office under Andrew Freeman and Brandon Gombs. Sixteen years 0:01:29.959 --> 0:01:32.520 in the Big leagues, played with the Dodgers, now back 0:01:32.880 --> 0:01:35.680 in the organization in the front office. You'll hood from 0:01:35.720 --> 0:01:37.280 Jay hay coming up in just a little bit. We 0:01:37.360 --> 0:01:40.240 got your Dodgers' magical moment. Shortly we'll visit with Kirsten 0:01:40.280 --> 0:01:43.119 Watson from Sports at LA and in just a few 0:01:43.160 --> 0:01:46.040 minutes we'll head out to the Galloping for broadcast booth 0:01:46.319 --> 0:01:49.680 with Steven Nelson and a Rick Monday. Well, last night 0:01:49.840 --> 0:01:53.080 not a great night for the Dodgers offense, and certainly 0:01:53.160 --> 0:01:56.440 a night in which Yoshinobu Yamamoto would like to have back. 0:01:56.760 --> 0:01:59.880 He pitched into the seventh innam Buds. Yamamoto gave a 0:02:00.200 --> 0:02:03.560 five runs on six hits while striking out eight on 0:02:03.920 --> 0:02:06.160 the way, gave him three home runs more on that 0:02:06.280 --> 0:02:09.839 coming up in just a second. The Dodgers had their opportunities, 0:02:09.960 --> 0:02:12.320 at least early on they did. The Dodgers loaded the 0:02:12.400 --> 0:02:14.239 bases for will Smith. 0:02:14.560 --> 0:02:15.519 The old one from Houser. 0:02:16.080 --> 0:02:18.639 Smith hits a fly ball to right field, pushing beck 0:02:18.720 --> 0:02:21.120 Lee's on the warning track, and he hauls it in 0:02:21.600 --> 0:02:24.160 on the warning track as he runs into his bullpen fence. 0:02:24.440 --> 0:02:27.800 Well Tony tags and scores from third. It's a sacrifice 0:02:27.840 --> 0:02:31.120 fly for will Smith and the Dodgers jump ahead one nothing. 0:02:31.240 --> 0:02:33.760 Well, the Dongers will take it, obviously they score here 0:02:33.800 --> 0:02:35.440 in the first inning. But I'll tell you what, there 0:02:35.480 --> 0:02:39.359 have been some terrific defensive plays in the outfield in 0:02:39.480 --> 0:02:40.800 this home stand against the. 0:02:40.840 --> 0:02:42.160 Dodgers in right field. 0:02:42.760 --> 0:02:45.720 Indeed, a nice play in right field, as the Dodgers 0:02:45.800 --> 0:02:48.320 only able to get one there in the bottom half 0:02:48.360 --> 0:02:50.239 of the first Indy despite the bases Loadly, that's the 0:02:50.280 --> 0:02:52.600 top tier to play the game, brought to by Arco quality, 0:02:52.720 --> 0:02:56.519 top tier gas for less. Then in the third, Eric Hoss, 0:02:56.639 --> 0:02:59.320 the catcher for the Giants not known for his power, 0:02:59.680 --> 0:03:02.600 hit home run to tie the game in one bottom 0:03:02.639 --> 0:03:06.160 of the inning. Dodgers answered right back show hey Otani 0:03:06.320 --> 0:03:09.120 it's his kid. He gets a home run three hundred 0:03:09.200 --> 0:03:12.000 ninety eight feet to less center field as the Dodgers 0:03:12.080 --> 0:03:14.560 took a two to one lead on Otani's seventh home 0:03:14.639 --> 0:03:17.959 run of this season. Then in the fifth, the wheel 0:03:18.040 --> 0:03:21.880 started to fall off for Yamamoto. Harrison Bader a home 0:03:21.960 --> 0:03:24.480 run to left that tied the game in two. The 0:03:24.720 --> 0:03:27.079 very next batter again a guy who doesn't hit a 0:03:27.120 --> 0:03:28.720 lot of home runs, Eric Hoss. 0:03:29.240 --> 0:03:31.640 He is giving up a lot more barrels this year, 0:03:31.760 --> 0:03:35.080 Yoshinoba Yamamoto and the Dodgers have become accustomed to. 0:03:35.200 --> 0:03:39.240 Now has again first pitch swinging in the air, and 0:03:39.400 --> 0:03:43.560 he's got his second home run of the game. Three 0:03:43.760 --> 0:03:47.640 two San Francisco, as the Giants go back to back 0:03:47.720 --> 0:03:51.280 with two outs in the fifth and Eric Haas, who 0:03:51.360 --> 0:03:54.240 hadn't hit a home run since last May before tonight, 0:03:54.960 --> 0:03:57.480 he's got two and two plate appearances. 0:03:58.200 --> 0:04:00.800 Eric Hass had two home runs all last year. He 0:04:00.880 --> 0:04:03.600 had two home runs last night. The Giants took a 0:04:03.680 --> 0:04:06.240 three to two late and then the seventh, the Giants 0:04:06.240 --> 0:04:09.800 would tack on more as they scored three more runs 0:04:10.320 --> 0:04:12.520 as they go on and beat the Dodgers last night 0:04:12.560 --> 0:04:15.960 by a final of six to two. The Dodgers give 0:04:16.080 --> 0:04:18.000 Adrian Houser his first. 0:04:17.880 --> 0:04:18.720 Win of the year. 0:04:18.760 --> 0:04:21.200 He was zero to four coming into the game with 0:04:21.240 --> 0:04:24.120 an era north as six. He lowers it under six 0:04:24.200 --> 0:04:27.520 and his first win of the season. Meanwhile, Yamamoto gets 0:04:27.560 --> 0:04:30.320 tagged with the loss. He falls to three and three 0:04:30.440 --> 0:04:33.840 on the season. The Dodgers had opportunities early in the game, 0:04:34.400 --> 0:04:37.000 but not much after that first inning. They stranded eight 0:04:37.080 --> 0:04:39.800 base runners on the night, but just zero for three 0:04:39.920 --> 0:04:42.680 with runners in scoring position. They just didn't have the opportunities, 0:04:42.920 --> 0:04:46.600 as the Dodgers scored two runs on four hits in 0:04:46.720 --> 0:04:50.080 the entire game. That's it. The offense needs to wake up, 0:04:50.160 --> 0:04:52.080 as the Dodgers have now lost four in a row 0:04:52.600 --> 0:04:56.240 as they fall to twenty four and eighteen on the season. Tonight, 0:04:56.480 --> 0:04:59.360 they continue their series with the San Francisco Giants. They 0:04:59.400 --> 0:05:01.440 need to get a win, so they give the ball 0:05:01.680 --> 0:05:04.680 to show Hey, Show Hey, Otani on the mound first 0:05:04.720 --> 0:05:06.600 pitch at seven ten and with more we head out 0:05:06.640 --> 0:05:08.839 to the Galvin Ford broadcast both as we say hello 0:05:08.960 --> 0:05:13.159 to Stephen Nelson and Rick Monday. Guys, all right, TC. 0:05:13.520 --> 0:05:16.320 The sun came up on this Wednesday. Despite the Dodgers 0:05:16.400 --> 0:05:18.160 losing two in a row to start this four game 0:05:18.200 --> 0:05:19.400 set against the Giants. 0:05:19.120 --> 0:05:23.400 And four in a row overall in mo Those four. 0:05:23.440 --> 0:05:26.800 Losses actually make some history, not the kind the Dodgers 0:05:26.839 --> 0:05:29.240 are hoping to make. In twenty twenty six, They've lost 0:05:29.320 --> 0:05:31.880 four games in a row by at least four runs 0:05:32.040 --> 0:05:35.240 for just the second time in franchise history, the first 0:05:35.320 --> 0:05:40.080 time since nineteen thirty six. All that to say and 0:05:40.320 --> 0:05:43.119 underscore that this team is in a funk. 0:05:43.440 --> 0:05:46.560 Well, and talk about underscore. In those four games that 0:05:46.640 --> 0:05:50.760 they have lost, they've been outscored twenty nine runs to nine. 0:05:51.160 --> 0:05:53.080 Something has to change, and it's going to change in 0:05:53.120 --> 0:05:56.279 a hurry. The different lineup toninth, you've got show Heyo 0:05:56.400 --> 0:05:58.880 Tani on the mound. You do not have show Hao 0:05:59.000 --> 0:06:02.640 Tani as the designs. So Mookie Benz moves up to Leidosbon. 0:06:02.920 --> 0:06:05.559 A couple of other changes in Dave Roberts starting lineup. 0:06:05.600 --> 0:06:08.680 But this is about now. I think selection of pitches 0:06:08.720 --> 0:06:11.520 for the hitting standpoint, and also better swings. 0:06:11.560 --> 0:06:13.520 We're not seeing that on a consistent basis. 0:06:13.600 --> 0:06:15.720 About the only thing I think we can analyze the 0:06:15.760 --> 0:06:18.800 say has been consistent in recent times. I'm talking about 0:06:18.839 --> 0:06:21.080 over the last couple of weeks has been the defense 0:06:21.160 --> 0:06:23.920 of this ball club, which I think has been underrated 0:06:23.960 --> 0:06:24.919 at this point in the season. 0:06:24.960 --> 0:06:26.680 Oh, they've been one of the best defensive teams in 0:06:26.720 --> 0:06:28.840 the league. It did falter a little bit last night 0:06:28.920 --> 0:06:31.640 in a first and third, one out situation with the 0:06:32.320 --> 0:06:35.239 safety squeeze put on by Drew Gilbert and Freddie Freeman 0:06:35.279 --> 0:06:39.320 couldn't come home and make the play just but well 0:06:39.360 --> 0:06:42.400 executed to San Francisco. I think that you could say 0:06:42.480 --> 0:06:45.120 more so than the Dodgers failing to execute a play. 0:06:45.160 --> 0:06:48.000 But either way, now they're in a hole in this series. 0:06:48.040 --> 0:06:50.560 They're trying to fight to split this thing, and they've 0:06:50.600 --> 0:06:53.920 dropped four or five games to the Giants, who in 0:06:54.040 --> 0:06:57.159 this series they look like the Giants. I think most 0:06:57.640 --> 0:07:01.080 analysts expected going into the season. They just hadn't been here. 0:07:00.960 --> 0:07:01.479 Up to this point. 0:07:01.560 --> 0:07:04.039 Yeah, the expectations were much higher than what the performance 0:07:04.160 --> 0:07:06.440 was until they have come into this series and of 0:07:06.520 --> 0:07:10.360 recent times as well. They're still eighteen and twenty four overall, 0:07:10.480 --> 0:07:13.040 but the Giants have won three in a row and 0:07:13.200 --> 0:07:15.360 they are playing like a ball club now that has 0:07:15.480 --> 0:07:17.640 kind of gotten a foothold, especially when you look at 0:07:17.640 --> 0:07:21.000 the fact they scored twenty two runs in the three 0:07:21.080 --> 0:07:23.160 games that they have won. They hit five home runs. 0:07:23.240 --> 0:07:24.880 This is not a home run hitting ball club if 0:07:24.920 --> 0:07:27.920 you look at the Giants, but they had lost nine 0:07:28.000 --> 0:07:32.160 of the previous eleven games, scoring just barely over two 0:07:32.320 --> 0:07:35.440 runs a ballgame in that stretch. But right now they 0:07:35.520 --> 0:07:38.320 are feeling their oats and they are not afraid to 0:07:38.400 --> 0:07:39.040 swing the bats. 0:07:39.120 --> 0:07:41.280 Yeah, they're looking for their first four game winning streak 0:07:41.320 --> 0:07:44.040 of the season. The Dodters trying to avoid a five 0:07:44.160 --> 0:07:46.920 game losing streak for the first time since last September. 0:07:47.000 --> 0:07:48.920 That was part of that two two and a half 0:07:49.000 --> 0:07:50.840 month skid where they were one of the worst teams 0:07:50.880 --> 0:07:53.520 in baseball in twenty twenty five. And they got the 0:07:53.600 --> 0:07:55.640 right guy on the mound to try and stop this thing. 0:07:55.840 --> 0:07:57.400 They lose their d eight to the top of the 0:07:57.520 --> 0:08:00.280 order because he's getting a nine off from hitting Old 0:08:00.320 --> 0:08:04.600 Tani though, is the best era in baseball of pitchers 0:08:04.760 --> 0:08:07.120 with at least what thirty innings or whatever it is, 0:08:07.240 --> 0:08:09.920 it's sub one. He is coming off back to back 0:08:10.000 --> 0:08:13.360 losses though, despite giving up two or fewer runs in 0:08:13.440 --> 0:08:14.200 both of those games. 0:08:14.280 --> 0:08:17.200 Yeah, he could have sued for lack of support, there's 0:08:17.240 --> 0:08:20.679 no question about that. We talked about a different lineup tonight. 0:08:20.840 --> 0:08:23.840 Max Munsey is going to sit at least at the beginning, 0:08:23.920 --> 0:08:26.240 the left handed Robbie Ray going for San Francisco, So 0:08:26.360 --> 0:08:30.240 Santiago Espino will be at third base. Alex Cole will 0:08:30.280 --> 0:08:33.000 get the start in the left field as well in 0:08:33.160 --> 0:08:37.439 tonight's Bowl games, so kind of just readjusting some lineup positions. 0:08:37.480 --> 0:08:40.400 Miguel Rojas will be at second base, but again Mookie 0:08:40.440 --> 0:08:41.920 Betts will bat in the eliteof spot. 0:08:42.000 --> 0:08:43.480 Then Will Smith and Freddie Freeman. 0:08:43.840 --> 0:08:46.400 Looking forward to this night at the ballpark. 0:08:46.480 --> 0:08:47.280 It's a beautiful one. 0:08:47.360 --> 0:08:50.560 They are giving away their twenty twenty five World Championship 0:08:50.880 --> 0:08:54.559 gold jerseys as folks stroll into the stadium.

However, the Giants win the game 0:11:01.440 --> 0:11:02.640 last night, six to two. 0:11:03.559 --> 0:11:07.800 This is Kirston's Corner with Kirston Watson. 0:11:07.600 --> 0:11:10.240 And Kirston now joins us from the stadium.

That's 0:11:18.200 --> 0:11:21.079 Cars with the K, the Dodgers and a funk right 0:11:21.200 --> 0:11:24.640 now and tonight show Hey O Tani on the mound, 0:11:24.720 --> 0:11:26.480 but not in the lineup, Kirsen. 0:11:26.960 --> 0:11:29.679 Yeah, only focusing on pitching today. And you know what, 0:11:29.880 --> 0:11:32.120 let's just start with that quickly because with him focusing 0:11:32.160 --> 0:11:34.160 on pitchure, he gets to be the stopper today. And 0:11:34.240 --> 0:11:36.679 he has been so good this year on the mountain. 0:11:36.679 --> 0:11:38.600 We know he's talked about, you know, wanting to win 0:11:38.679 --> 0:11:41.400 aside Young, the results have been there, and so the 0:11:41.480 --> 0:11:43.440 hope is that he can really set the tone. Now 0:11:43.520 --> 0:11:45.599 you mentioned he is not in the lineup today, and 0:11:45.720 --> 0:11:48.760 this has been a big topic of conversation show Hey 0:11:49.040 --> 0:11:51.240 as of late has been struggling at the plate. He's 0:11:51.240 --> 0:11:53.559 been trying to find ways to get back on track. Now, 0:11:53.679 --> 0:11:56.200 last night he did get back on track. He did 0:11:56.320 --> 0:11:58.640 have a two hit game, had a home run that 0:11:58.800 --> 0:12:01.760 went to like left center, and that's exactly when he's 0:12:01.840 --> 0:12:05.160 going there. He is truly going right. So you know, 0:12:05.440 --> 0:12:07.679 Dave Roberts had shared that he had already had a 0:12:07.760 --> 0:12:12.080 conversation with Shohy and the plan yesterday as well yes today, 0:12:12.280 --> 0:12:15.400 was to have him just focusing on pitching, not worrying 0:12:15.440 --> 0:12:18.400 about hitting. He's not going to be playing at all tomorrow, 0:12:18.480 --> 0:12:20.160 so he's not going to be in as the DH tomorrow. 0:12:20.640 --> 0:12:22.880 If situation comes about and they need him as a 0:12:22.960 --> 0:12:26.280 late bat late in the game, then he will be available. 0:12:26.480 --> 0:12:29.080 But Dave has made it very clear that with him 0:12:29.120 --> 0:12:32.120 getting back to his two way full time ability, just 0:12:32.679 --> 0:12:34.880 it is a lot on the body. It's a lot mentally, 0:12:34.960 --> 0:12:37.440 it's a lot physically. We know he's been grinding at 0:12:37.480 --> 0:12:39.800 the plate as I mentioned, So it was more of 0:12:39.920 --> 0:12:41.760 a way of how can we just give him a 0:12:41.880 --> 0:12:44.360 day to reset, give him a little time. So by 0:12:44.720 --> 0:12:47.080 allowing him just to focus on the pitching and then 0:12:47.120 --> 0:12:50.079 allowing him to recover fully tomorrow, the hope is that 0:12:50.200 --> 0:12:52.600 not only can he continue to be in a good spot, 0:12:52.880 --> 0:12:54.920 but it also could allow him to be in a 0:12:55.000 --> 0:12:58.440 situation where he can continue to build on the results 0:12:58.480 --> 0:12:59.719 that he had last night. 0:13:00.240 --> 0:13:02.280 With no show Hay in the lineup as a hitter, 0:13:02.480 --> 0:13:04.760 that means the Dodgers lineup looks a little different, and 0:13:05.040 --> 0:13:06.480 by a little it means a lot different. 0:13:06.480 --> 0:13:09.680 To that it does mean a lot different. So obviously 0:13:09.920 --> 0:13:12.360 no show, Hey, so who isn't at the DH? Usually 0:13:12.440 --> 0:13:15.640 we've been seeing adult and rushing stepping in as the 0:13:15.720 --> 0:13:18.920 DH whenever show Heyo Tani? Has it been hitting as 0:13:18.920 --> 0:13:21.280 a d when he's been pitching? But you know this, 0:13:21.679 --> 0:13:25.079 Today Dave Roberts decided to put Taoscar Hernandez as a DH, 0:13:25.120 --> 0:13:26.040 and it kind of is like a. 0:13:26.080 --> 0:13:27.319 Twofold for Tao. 0:13:27.679 --> 0:13:29.679 Not only does it get him off his feet, they 0:13:29.720 --> 0:13:32.720 are essentially at the beginning of thirteen in a row, 0:13:32.880 --> 0:13:34.679 so it gets him off his feet and playing a 0:13:34.720 --> 0:13:37.120 lot recently, but it also kind of puts him in 0:13:37.120 --> 0:13:39.160 a position where he can keep working on his swing. 0:13:39.320 --> 0:13:41.400 He is someone who they moved him down in the 0:13:41.559 --> 0:13:44.240 order a few days ago and that actually did work 0:13:44.360 --> 0:13:47.199 for him for Taoscar, so he's still working through a 0:13:47.240 --> 0:13:49.160 few things, trying to get that field, trying to get 0:13:49.200 --> 0:13:51.960 that consistency, so it allows for him just to continue 0:13:52.000 --> 0:13:54.280 to be out there to work through. That also allows 0:13:54.320 --> 0:13:57.120 for Alex call who has been excellent at the plate, 0:13:57.400 --> 0:14:00.600 allows him some playing time in the outfield, and then 0:14:00.679 --> 0:14:03.079 just looking at the order, they decided not just to 0:14:03.280 --> 0:14:06.560 switch the DH, but ultimately changing the lineup a little 0:14:06.600 --> 0:14:09.839 bit so Mookie Betts, who Dodger fans have seen a 0:14:09.920 --> 0:14:12.400 lot in the past batting lead off, not since Joho 0:14:12.480 --> 0:14:14.599 Tani has been here, but they had seen that, and 0:14:14.679 --> 0:14:17.199 so he's going to be back there. And the hope is, 0:14:17.360 --> 0:14:20.920 obviously with his return coming off the IL to start 0:14:21.000 --> 0:14:24.920 this series, was hopefully he can be the spark for 0:14:25.120 --> 0:14:27.560 the offense, and that is a feeling amongst everyone, not 0:14:27.600 --> 0:14:30.400 necessarily him being the spark, but somebody being the spark. 0:14:30.640 --> 0:14:33.720 And hopefully that can start tonight. Let's hope it begins tonight. 0:14:33.840 --> 0:14:36.520 This Dodgers team can turn things around and get back 0:14:36.640 --> 0:14:38.800 on a winning streak. Here still, we appreciate it.

But 0:17:34.840 --> 0:17:38.359 I also feel that, you know, you've got to, you know, 0:17:38.840 --> 0:17:41.520 earn that right to hit in certain parts of the order. 0:17:42.920 --> 0:17:45.560 And so I know he's been working on some mechanical 0:17:45.640 --> 0:17:48.080 things and some approach things.

First pitch coming up at seven ten, 0:18:34.280 --> 0:18:36.960 Dodgers Baseball is brought to you by al Poto, born 0:18:37.000 --> 0:18:39.520 in la and made for your game day.

The Panic 0:19:05.320 --> 0:19:08.440 Brothers are in full of fact. Yeah, you know. 0:19:09.160 --> 0:19:12.640 Obviously it's tough to watch. I can understand why fans 0:19:12.760 --> 0:19:15.120 are not very happy with the way things have gone. 0:19:15.240 --> 0:19:19.119 And the reality is, since April eighteenth, the Dodgers have 0:19:19.240 --> 0:19:23.280 a nine and fourteen record. Only the Mets and Diamondbacks 0:19:23.400 --> 0:19:26.800 have a worse record during that period of time. And 0:19:26.920 --> 0:19:30.520 what's even more frustrating is the Dodgers are getting excellent 0:19:30.600 --> 0:19:34.480 starting pitching. They're getting very good pitching out of their bullpen, 0:19:34.680 --> 0:19:38.480 but their offense is not scoring. They're only averaging two 0:19:38.680 --> 0:19:43.879 runs per game since the beginning of that stretch of 0:19:44.000 --> 0:19:46.840
