First pitch from 0:01:13.880 --> 0:01:16.039 Dodgers Stadium is coming up as six to zero eight. 0:01:16.120 --> 0:01:18.600 Between then and now, we got a lot to get 0:01:18.600 --> 0:01:21.520 to here on Marongo Casino Dodgers on deck. You are 0:01:21.560 --> 0:01:24.600 gonna hear from the manager himself, Dave Roberts. That's coming 0:01:24.680 --> 0:01:28.200 up in about fifteen minutes. David Vasse joins us throughout 0:01:28.200 --> 0:01:30.360 the hour. Of course, he'll go one on one with 0:01:30.440 --> 0:01:34.480 Dodger outfielder Alex Call. We got your Dodgers magical moment 0:01:34.520 --> 0:01:35.479 here in the postseason. 0:01:35.560 --> 0:01:36.920 Shortly we'll visit with. 0:01:37.400 --> 0:01:40.640 Kirsten Watson from Sports at LA and in just a 0:01:40.680 --> 0:01:42.960 few minutes we will head over to the gallopin Motors 0:01:43.080 --> 0:01:46.400 Broadcast booth with Steven Nelson and Rick Monday, who are 0:01:46.440 --> 0:01:48.960 onto the call. Well, the Dodgers were last at it 0:01:49.040 --> 0:01:52.920 on Monday in Philadelphia. The Dodgers looking to go up 0:01:52.920 --> 0:01:55.480 two to ozho in the best of five series, and 0:01:55.520 --> 0:01:59.360 they got a fantastic pitching performance from Snell. 0:01:59.480 --> 0:01:59.720 Zilla. 0:01:59.800 --> 0:02:04.880 Yeah, Blake Snell. Six shutout innings. He allowed just one 0:02:05.000 --> 0:02:09.720 hit while striking out nine. Meanwhile, Hayestunis Lozardo was pitching 0:02:09.760 --> 0:02:12.240 well for the Phillies. They were going toe to toe 0:02:12.600 --> 0:02:15.760 for the first sixth innies. It was a pitchers duel 0:02:16.160 --> 0:02:18.760 until the seventh, when the Dodgers do what they do, 0:02:19.040 --> 0:02:21.919 put up those crooked numbers on the scoreboard. Keith k 0:02:22.080 --> 0:02:25.600 Hernandez got it started with a fielder's choice, scoring ta 0:02:25.639 --> 0:02:28.959 Oscar Hernandez on the broken bat ball up the middle. 0:02:29.320 --> 0:02:32.320 Then a few matters later will Smith added two more. 0:02:33.120 --> 0:02:35.600 Dodgers up one nothing, looking from more than the seventh 0:02:35.680 --> 0:02:39.040 bases loaded, two out, first pitch, will. 0:02:38.880 --> 0:02:41.240 Smith drives the base hit to left field. 0:02:41.560 --> 0:02:46.160 Freeman is in. Here comes key k. Will Smith clutches 0:02:46.280 --> 0:02:47.959 up a two. 0:02:47.960 --> 0:02:51.560 Rung single on the seventh to make it three nothing Dodgers. 0:02:51.800 --> 0:02:54.280 And that's why Dave Roberts is talking about, Look, we're 0:02:54.320 --> 0:02:58.320 going to use will Smith when opportunities arise, and boy, 0:02:58.480 --> 0:03:00.639 no bigger opportunity than right there. 0:03:01.160 --> 0:03:04.480 Will Smith deliverers with the two run singles the left 0:03:04.680 --> 0:03:07.080 Dodgers a three to nothing lead, and wouldn't you know it, 0:03:07.120 --> 0:03:10.079 the lineup turned over and show a Ho Tani. Then 0:03:10.160 --> 0:03:13.600 with an RBI single through the right hole, scoring Max Mounsei. 0:03:13.720 --> 0:03:16.400 The Dodgers put a four spot up in the seventh 0:03:16.440 --> 0:03:19.720 inning to take a four to nothing lead. Mentioned Blake 0:03:19.760 --> 0:03:22.320 Snell with the six shutout innings image she ain't got 0:03:22.360 --> 0:03:24.640 the seventh, put up a zero in the eighth, he 0:03:24.720 --> 0:03:27.119 gave up a run. It was four to one going 0:03:27.160 --> 0:03:29.920 to the ninth inning when Blake Tryon took over and 0:03:29.960 --> 0:03:32.320 that's when the wheels kind of came off Trying and 0:03:32.639 --> 0:03:37.000 the first three batters scored got on base, and the 0:03:37.040 --> 0:03:40.800 Dodgers found themselves in a hole, possibly with a tie 0:03:40.920 --> 0:03:44.760 run ninety or at second base. The Dodgers with a 0:03:44.800 --> 0:03:47.760 great defensive play with Bryson Soot up to bat. 0:03:47.920 --> 0:03:50.040 Both Munsi a third. That means the Bets is going 0:03:50.080 --> 0:03:51.760 over to third from the short stop position. 0:03:53.880 --> 0:03:56.440 Bessie A kicks and fire Stott gets the bunt down 0:03:56.440 --> 0:03:56.840 to third. 0:03:56.880 --> 0:03:58.440 Picked up on Munsie, he goes. 0:03:58.280 --> 0:04:01.520 To third and Castianos is gonna be out. 0:04:02.440 --> 0:04:04.880 They execute the play to perfection. 0:04:05.120 --> 0:04:10.040 Rick Mundane absolute gutsy play by Max Munsey. He had 0:04:10.040 --> 0:04:12.120 his body in position to begin with. I think the 0:04:12.120 --> 0:04:14.560 Phillies gonna challenge this. They have really nothing to lose 0:04:14.600 --> 0:04:17.280 to challenge it. And Mookie Betts stood his ground because 0:04:17.760 --> 0:04:21.760 Bets he got knocked over on that tag, but for 0:04:21.920 --> 0:04:24.440 months he the good throw to Bets. Bets got there 0:04:24.480 --> 0:04:28.159 in time, and what an athletic catching tag by Mookie Betts. 0:04:28.440 --> 0:04:29.640 Terrific play on. 0:04:29.640 --> 0:04:33.240 The fundamentals of the game. In the ninth in against the. 0:04:33.279 --> 0:04:36.320 Old wheel play on the debunt defense as the Dodgers 0:04:36.400 --> 0:04:39.279 get Costianos out at third. That was big because the 0:04:39.320 --> 0:04:41.640 next batter, Harrison Baders, singled the left. He would have 0:04:41.640 --> 0:04:44.800 scored the tye and run instead. A couple of batters later, 0:04:44.920 --> 0:04:47.320 Rookie Sasaki came on with a tye and run at 0:04:47.400 --> 0:04:50.119 ninety feet away at third base gets the ground ball out, 0:04:50.360 --> 0:04:53.960 ballgame over. Dodgers hang on and beat the Phillies on 0:04:54.040 --> 0:04:56.880 Monday night at the Bank in Philadelphia four to three. 0:04:57.000 --> 0:04:59.880 Your final Blake Snell gets to win Ky susil Azar 0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:02.839 against tagged with the lost, Dodgers head home now with 0:05:02.880 --> 0:05:05.359 a two to oh series lead in this best of 0:05:05.440 --> 0:05:07.840 five nlds and that was the top tier playing the game, 0:05:07.880 --> 0:05:11.320 Rodger by Arco quality, top tier gas for less and 0:05:11.360 --> 0:05:13.840 tonight the Dodgers look to put the nail in the 0:05:13.839 --> 0:05:17.600 coffin that is the Phillies season. With Yoshinobu Yamamoto on 0:05:17.640 --> 0:05:19.800 the mound first pitch at six oh eight and with more, 0:05:19.920 --> 0:05:22.400 let's head over to the Gallpin Motors broadcast. But as 0:05:22.440 --> 0:05:26.159 we say hello to Steven Nelson and Rick Monday, guys. 0:05:26.200 --> 0:05:28.560 Tim kats it's great to be back home at Dodgers 0:05:28.560 --> 0:05:31.840 Stadium for a postseason game in Rick Monday, it is 0:05:31.880 --> 0:05:36.039 even better on the heels of two road victories for 0:05:36.080 --> 0:05:39.640 the Dodgers. They open the division series against the Phillies 0:05:39.680 --> 0:05:42.520 with two road wins and now they need just one 0:05:42.600 --> 0:05:46.000 more win to head back to the National League Championship Series. 0:05:46.040 --> 0:05:48.960 But similarly to how we talk about getting the final 0:05:49.000 --> 0:05:51.640 outs of a single game, getting the last win of 0:05:51.839 --> 0:05:53.799 a series is the toughest yep. 0:05:53.720 --> 0:05:54.080 It is. 0:05:54.200 --> 0:05:55.839 And for the Dodgers, they had to play their tails 0:05:55.839 --> 0:05:59.520 off defensively in the ninth inning on Monday night in Philadelphia. 0:06:00.080 --> 0:06:02.120 You'll play on the bunt. They got a huge out 0:06:02.200 --> 0:06:04.560 a third and then for Freddy Freeman saved the bacon 0:06:04.920 --> 0:06:06.880 as he picked a clean on a very poor throw 0:06:07.000 --> 0:06:10.279 by Tommy Edmond, which is unusual in itself, also in 0:06:10.360 --> 0:06:12.200 that ninth then and so yeah, the Dodgers are up 0:06:12.200 --> 0:06:14.640 two games to none, having won Monday's game by a 0:06:14.720 --> 0:06:16.520 score at four to three. So we can plug in 0:06:16.560 --> 0:06:20.000 a lot of different numbers. How about these numbers teams 0:06:20.120 --> 0:06:22.240 up two and zero in the best of a five 0:06:22.320 --> 0:06:25.160 series winning those two games on the road are thirty 0:06:25.240 --> 0:06:30.080 one and thirteen as far as winning series means absolutely nothing. 0:06:30.120 --> 0:06:32.880 If you ask the Philadelphia Phillies, because they know people 0:06:32.880 --> 0:06:34.560 will say, well, you have to win three in a row. 0:06:34.600 --> 0:06:37.600 Their mindset is they have to win one game and 0:06:37.600 --> 0:06:40.840 then tomorrow come back and win one game and send 0:06:40.839 --> 0:06:41.720 it back to philm. 0:06:41.480 --> 0:06:43.520 In the short series, it could get tight, it could 0:06:43.520 --> 0:06:45.039 get uncomfortable really quick. 0:06:45.080 --> 0:06:46.400 But the Dodgers playing great baseball. 0:06:46.400 --> 0:06:49.719 They've won nine straight overall, and in the postseason they 0:06:49.800 --> 0:06:52.640 won fourteen of the last seventeen games. They've been especially 0:06:52.680 --> 0:06:55.800 good here at home. And they have Yoshinobu Yamamodo on 0:06:55.880 --> 0:06:59.280 the mound. Not a surprise for the Dodgers. It's their 0:06:59.320 --> 0:07:02.360 ace and he's going on regular rest for him. The 0:07:02.440 --> 0:07:04.960 surprises on the other side for the Phillies. They're starting 0:07:05.040 --> 0:07:08.039 Aaron Nola. But I think, mo, this is just me. 0:07:08.120 --> 0:07:08.520 To do him. 0:07:08.520 --> 0:07:10.880 We're obviously not in the meetings of Rob Thompson in 0:07:10.880 --> 0:07:13.960 the Philadelphia front office, but it seemed like potentially a 0:07:14.040 --> 0:07:17.360 move to just basically make Nola an opener in front 0:07:17.400 --> 0:07:19.400 of Ranger swar Is to see if the Dodgers would 0:07:19.400 --> 0:07:21.720 throw out a starting lineup where they stack a bunch 0:07:21.720 --> 0:07:23.480 of their lefties and then bring Suarez in. 0:07:23.600 --> 0:07:26.840 Yeah, exactly. And for Aaron Nolan, he's not started a 0:07:26.840 --> 0:07:30.840 ballgame in eleven days. And as to your explanation, the 0:07:30.880 --> 0:07:33.400 Dodgers had dropped Max Muncie, who is going to start 0:07:33.400 --> 0:07:35.680 at third base tonight. Munsey's going to bat in the 0:07:35.720 --> 0:07:38.240 seventh spot. We also have another new edition in the 0:07:38.280 --> 0:07:40.760 starting line up, that being Will Smith, who's going to 0:07:40.840 --> 0:07:42.760 bat in the five spots. So it's going to be O, 0:07:42.880 --> 0:07:45.960 Tommy Betts, Teoscar Hernandez, who has been red hot so 0:07:46.000 --> 0:07:49.280 far in postseason, followed by Freeman and then Smith kicking. 0:07:49.320 --> 0:07:52.920 Hernandez gets to start in left field, Pajz in center, 0:07:53.200 --> 0:07:55.760 and Tommy Edmond will start at second base. 0:07:56.360 --> 0:07:59.320 No team since the Toronto Blue Jays in twenty fifteen 0:07:59.720 --> 0:08:02.200 has won a best of five series after losing the 0:08:02.200 --> 0:08:05.360 first two games at home. The Dodgers would like to 0:08:05.480 --> 0:08:08.400 keep that bit of history in Toronto, and they could 0:08:08.440 --> 0:08:10.640 take care of business tonight. One more win and they're 0:08:10.640 --> 0:08:13.240 onto the Nation League Championship Series. We'll be back in 0:08:13.280 --> 0:08:15.120 a little bit with some keys from Mope. 0:08:15.920 --> 0:08:17.560 All right, thank you, Nelly, as we cut you down 0:08:17.560 --> 0:08:20.520 to first pitch, Dodger fans get your GameDay meo long 0:08:21.640 --> 0:08:24.679 at Shaky's Pizza Parlor.

Here we are a 0:09:49.920 --> 0:09:52.440 closeout game for the Dodgers, up two games to nothing 0:09:52.480 --> 0:09:54.880 in this best of five series. And the right guy 0:09:54.960 --> 0:09:57.520 to have on the mound at Yoshinobu Yamamoto. 0:09:57.760 --> 0:10:00.240 It really is when you look at what Yoshina has 0:10:00.280 --> 0:10:03.240 done this year. First of course having an All Star campaign, 0:10:03.360 --> 0:10:06.440 he is someone who has been so good in the postseason. 0:10:06.480 --> 0:10:09.160 He talked about before heading into the Wildcard just the 0:10:09.240 --> 0:10:11.920 experience and what he learned last year in the postseason, 0:10:11.920 --> 0:10:15.079 obviously ultimately winning the World Series, but he came in 0:10:15.240 --> 0:10:17.000 so clutch in really big moments. 0:10:17.080 --> 0:10:19.200 Yes, maybe that first postseason. 0:10:18.679 --> 0:10:20.959 Start he had, maybe things were a little bit off 0:10:21.040 --> 0:10:23.760 for him, but since then he has been elite in 0:10:23.840 --> 0:10:26.040 these types of games, and so for him to be 0:10:26.200 --> 0:10:28.240 on the mound today even I love what kek her 0:10:28.320 --> 0:10:31.800 Names was saying this afternoon that whenever they needed to 0:10:31.960 --> 0:10:34.679 win in a big moment or kind of win clinch 0:10:34.720 --> 0:10:37.880 the division, win a series, he's been that guy that's 0:10:37.880 --> 0:10:40.520 been called upon. Obviously, they have so many they have 0:10:40.520 --> 0:10:44.120 so much talent in the rotation that anyone could be it. 0:10:44.200 --> 0:10:47.160 But Yoshi has been that constant ace of this team 0:10:47.200 --> 0:10:50.200 this year, and so whether it was winning the NLS, 0:10:50.240 --> 0:10:52.480 he was the guy in the mound, if it was 0:10:52.520 --> 0:10:55.240 to win the wild Card Series. Now being in a 0:10:55.280 --> 0:10:57.760 position today where they could sweep the Phillies to move 0:10:57.800 --> 0:11:00.320 on to the NLCS. Early in the year, he wasn't 0:11:00.320 --> 0:11:03.240 getting the run support. The last two he has gotten 0:11:03.240 --> 0:11:05.800 the run support. I'm just saying, we've been doing this 0:11:05.800 --> 0:11:07.800 thing ahead of starts where it's like, okay, ten runs. 0:11:08.040 --> 0:11:10.520 It's just like, oh, obviously ten is a lot in 0:11:10.520 --> 0:11:13.520 the October, but ten runs, if we could do that, 0:11:13.520 --> 0:11:15.920 they're in a really good spot. But he's definitely if 0:11:15.920 --> 0:11:17.960 they give him some run support. Really, obviously, he said, 0:11:17.960 --> 0:11:19.199 one who knows how to kind of set the tone 0:11:19.200 --> 0:11:19.760 in this one. 0:11:19.720 --> 0:11:21.760 Speaking of of being a good spot, the Dodgers are 0:11:21.760 --> 0:11:23.480 in a great spot, up two games to nothing. 0:11:23.480 --> 0:11:25.559 But the last thing you wanted to do is give. 0:11:25.400 --> 0:11:27.640 This Phillies team, which is looking for any kind of 0:11:27.679 --> 0:11:31.840 momentum right now, something to get positive feelings for, because 0:11:31.840 --> 0:11:33.480 they can take off at any time they can. 0:11:33.600 --> 0:11:36.200 And as much as when you ask baseball players, some 0:11:36.320 --> 0:11:39.760 believe in this word momentum, Others do not believe in momentum. 0:11:39.840 --> 0:11:40.560 But I believe in it. 0:11:40.679 --> 0:11:42.559 I believe in it as well, and I will say 0:11:42.600 --> 0:11:47.240 that right now, what is clear is the Dodgers are clicking. 0:11:47.440 --> 0:11:51.040 They're playing really good baseball. They're playing together, the offense 0:11:51.040 --> 0:11:54.720 are passing the baton. It's a group that it just 0:11:54.760 --> 0:11:56.800 takes one person to have a big moment and then 0:11:56.800 --> 0:11:58.600 they can feed off of that. We've seen it in 0:11:58.640 --> 0:12:00.480 Game one, we saw it in Game two. So now 0:12:00.520 --> 0:12:02.400 you come into this one in which they are trying 0:12:02.440 --> 0:12:04.680 to close things out, they want to get greedy because 0:12:04.960 --> 0:12:07.320 the last thing is you mentioned they want is that's 0:12:07.320 --> 0:12:10.000 a very talented Phillies team, like for them to be 0:12:10.040 --> 0:12:12.440 in a situation in which they wont two games in Philadelphia. 0:12:12.480 --> 0:12:14.640 They're looking to close it out. Tonight, Like that's huge 0:12:14.640 --> 0:12:17.800 for the Dodgers, but they respect and they recognize you 0:12:17.840 --> 0:12:20.360 cannot allow the Phillies to get hot because once they do, 0:12:20.800 --> 0:12:22.880 this thing could turn pretty quickly. So they want to 0:12:22.880 --> 0:12:25.400 get it going. Hopefully they close it out tonight. That 0:12:25.400 --> 0:12:28.640 would be amazing for all of us. Let's get greedy, right, 0:12:29.360 --> 0:12:31.640 let's call it. Let's let's move on to the NLCS. 0:12:31.640 --> 0:12:32.520 Nothing wrong with being greedy? 0:12:32.600 --> 0:12:32.880 Is time? 0:12:32.960 --> 0:12:34.440 Anything wrong with right now? 0:12:34.559 --> 0:12:35.280 All right? 0:12:35.320 --> 0:12:37.920 Well, hopefully the Dodgers should help out everybody and get 0:12:37.920 --> 0:12:39.840 a win tonight. It's coming up here on Moroco because 0:12:39.880 --> 0:12:41.440 you know, Dodgers on Deck will dive deeper into this 0:12:41.480 --> 0:12:44.200 pitching matchup. Also, we'll hear from David Vessai, who goes 0:12:44.240 --> 0:12:46.199 one on one with Alex Call. But up next we'll 0:12:46.200 --> 0:12:49.160 hear from the Dodger manager, Dave Roberts. It's the Dodgers 0:12:49.160 --> 0:12:51.760 in Phillies, Game three of the National League Divisional Series. 0:12:51.800 --> 0:12:53.240 First pitch coming up at six oh eight. 0:12:53.320 --> 0:12:55.720 I'm Tim Kats' is the world champion Los Angeles Dodgers 0:12:56.200 --> 0:12:57.120 Audio Network. 0:13:00.800 --> 0:13:06.880 This is Marongo Casino, Dodgers on Deck on your home 0:13:07.000 --> 0:13:11.080 for the Blue All Season Law. 0:13:12.800 --> 0:13:15.800 Marongo Casino Dodgers on Deck continues as we lead up 0:13:15.840 --> 0:13:20.120 to first pitch, Dodgers and the Phillies Marongo Casino Resort 0:13:20.160 --> 0:13:23.520 and spot a Grand Slam for good times Game three 0:13:23.559 --> 0:13:27.720 of the National League Divisional Series. Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Aaron 0:13:27.800 --> 0:13:30.920 Nola the pitching matchup. We'll dive deeper into the numbers 0:13:31.000 --> 0:13:33.440 both these guys coming up and listen just a little bit. 0:13:33.480 --> 0:13:36.480 We expect to see Rangers Swars also come into relief 0:13:36.640 --> 0:13:39.199 for the Phillies at some point. Right now, let's head 0:13:39.200 --> 0:13:40.839 back downstairs and check out with the Dodgers. 0:13:40.880 --> 0:13:42.040 Skpbard anything. 0:13:43.679 --> 0:13:44.360 Questions for Dave? 0:13:44.480 --> 0:13:47.480 Dave? Can you just describe Dave? Can you talk about 0:13:47.480 --> 0:13:51.280 the pressure in the dugouts with Dave Roberts. 0:13:51.600 --> 0:13:55.240 I think it's just kind of staying in this, uh, 0:13:55.960 --> 0:13:58.920 you know, mental state. I think that we're in a 0:13:58.960 --> 0:14:04.000 good spot. You know, Guys aren't too high, guys aren't 0:14:04.280 --> 0:14:08.200 too lax. Just focus on kind of as they said Keith, 0:14:08.200 --> 0:14:11.679 a momentum and just play good baseball. But yeah, I 0:14:12.000 --> 0:14:17.160 feel good where we're at the focus Dave. 0:14:17.240 --> 0:14:20.200 Regarding the wheel play in the ninth Mookie mentioned that 0:14:20.280 --> 0:14:22.760 it was a conversation him and Meggy had after a 0:14:22.840 --> 0:14:26.040 game against the Angels, and Maggy said, you use that 0:14:26.120 --> 0:14:29.360 play when it's do or die situations. I guess how 0:14:29.400 --> 0:14:31.960 often do you get those kind of nuggets from Miguel 0:14:32.160 --> 0:14:34.520 as a leader in the clubhouse and the value he 0:14:34.560 --> 0:14:35.040 brings to. 0:14:35.000 --> 0:14:39.560 This team all the time. You know, he he kind 0:14:39.560 --> 0:14:42.480 of asked me the right questions, and you know he 0:14:42.560 --> 0:14:45.720 wants to manage at some point, and so he's always 0:14:45.760 --> 0:14:51.560 trying to learn, and you know, he's really helped Mouky's growth, 0:14:52.120 --> 0:14:55.160 really sped up the process because of you know, the 0:14:55.280 --> 0:14:58.840 nuances of the position and thinking about things that might 0:14:58.960 --> 0:15:02.160 or might not happen and getting ahead of it. And 0:15:02.240 --> 0:15:05.280 so it's good to see, you know, Mookie thinks as 0:15:05.320 --> 0:15:09.160 a shortstop and Makey's a big reason why. 0:15:09.840 --> 0:15:11.840 Anyway, Jack here in the second row, did do you 0:15:11.880 --> 0:15:14.320 think Sheen and Roki will be back online for you tonight? 0:15:17.160 --> 0:15:20.360 Yeah? They should be out there playing catch right now, 0:15:20.840 --> 0:15:23.160 and so you know, once they do that, then I'll 0:15:23.720 --> 0:15:26.840 converse with Bardo and Mark and kind of see where 0:15:26.880 --> 0:15:27.240 they're at. 0:15:28.320 --> 0:15:28.440 All. 0:15:28.520 --> 0:15:31.880 Right, there's the manager, Dave Roberts, so all hands on deck, 0:15:31.960 --> 0:15:35.720 including an image she and rookie Susaki down that Dodgers bullpen. 0:15:35.920 --> 0:15:39.760 Will we see Clayton Kershaw for the first time in 0:15:39.840 --> 0:15:42.440 this n l DS. We'll find out and we continue here. 0:15:42.440 --> 0:15:44.840 I'm Wrongo Casino Dodgers on deck. We will check you 0:15:44.840 --> 0:15:47.720 in with David Vase gets it all the latest as 0:15:47.760 --> 0:15:49.880 we lead you up to Dodgers in Phillies here at 0:15:49.920 --> 0:15:53.480 Dodger Stadium, Game three of the National League Divisional Series. 0:15:53.520 --> 0:15:56.240 First bench schedule for six so eight. I'm Tim Katson. 0:15:56.280 --> 0:16:02.240 This is the world champion Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network. 0:16:02.600 --> 0:16:07.280 As we were saying, this is Marongo Casino Dodgers on 0:16:07.480 --> 0:16:13.160 tack on the official home of LA Dodgers Baseball. 0:16:13.400 --> 0:16:16.400 It's a Dodgers in Phillies Game three the National League 0:16:16.440 --> 0:16:20.000 Divisional Series. Yoshinobu Yamamoto on the mountain, first pitch coming 0:16:20.080 --> 0:16:20.720 up at six. 0:16:20.800 --> 0:16:25.400 Await joining Tim kats on Dodgers on deck. 0:16:25.480 --> 0:16:27.240 I accept everybody for who they are. 0:16:27.360 --> 0:16:30.520 This is Dodger insider David Basse. 0:16:31.000 --> 0:16:33.840 All right, dv Also, it feels much different than it 0:16:33.880 --> 0:16:36.400 did a week ago for the wild card round. Here 0:16:36.440 --> 0:16:38.240 in the Divisional round. Is it's going to be rocking 0:16:38.280 --> 0:16:40.320 here at Dodgers Dating With that being said, when it 0:16:40.360 --> 0:16:43.160 gets to possibly the ninth inning, David, who are the 0:16:43.240 --> 0:16:45.440 Dodgers going to go to for those final three outs 0:16:45.480 --> 0:16:46.680 if that were to happen tonight. 0:16:47.840 --> 0:16:50.040 I don't believe there's any doubt that it would be 0:16:50.160 --> 0:16:53.040 Roki Sasaki to get those final three outs in a 0:16:53.120 --> 0:16:57.200 safe situation. The only question now is how do the 0:16:57.280 --> 0:17:01.520 Dodgers get to Roki Sasaki if Yama Modo only goes 0:17:01.560 --> 0:17:05.040 six or seven innings? And you mentioned this earlier, Tim, 0:17:05.080 --> 0:17:08.480 I believe there's a very good chance Clayton Kershaw could 0:17:08.560 --> 0:17:11.480 be one of the candidates to bridge the game from 0:17:11.600 --> 0:17:13.520 Yamamoto to Sasaki. 0:17:14.000 --> 0:17:16.080 And Kershaw joined us on Off Day. 0:17:15.920 --> 0:17:19.520 Dodger Talk last night, and he did not shy away 0:17:19.600 --> 0:17:21.920 from the fact that, Yeah, he's ready to come into 0:17:22.000 --> 0:17:25.239 this game tonight at some point. So he's itching to 0:17:25.480 --> 0:17:29.960 make his first postseason pitch this year, He's definitely ready 0:17:30.040 --> 0:17:30.800 when called upon. 0:17:31.200 --> 0:17:32.800 David has brought to you by Ford. It's time to 0:17:32.800 --> 0:17:34.879 see Ford in a new light. Just to follow up 0:17:34.880 --> 0:17:38.000 on Yamamoto getting his start, David, a year ago, he 0:17:38.040 --> 0:17:40.359 made the start in Game five of the NLDS against 0:17:40.400 --> 0:17:42.480 the Padres, and that was kind of really his coming 0:17:42.520 --> 0:17:45.000 out party as far as who he's been since then, 0:17:45.160 --> 0:17:47.840 He's been aggressive all season long. He's been really the 0:17:47.880 --> 0:17:50.399 front end guy on this rotation because of injuries, and 0:17:50.480 --> 0:17:52.960 here he is in a closeout game, the right guy 0:17:53.000 --> 0:17:54.240 to have on the mount tonight, right. 0:17:55.600 --> 0:17:56.439 He really is. 0:17:57.160 --> 0:18:00.720 Clayton Kershaw even said last night, if it wasn't for schemes, 0:18:00.840 --> 0:18:04.159 Yamamoto to him is the National League Say Young Award winner, 0:18:04.520 --> 0:18:07.240 and he's a different look than what we have seen 0:18:07.320 --> 0:18:12.080 with Otani and Blake Snell. Obviously, his signature's pitch is 0:18:12.119 --> 0:18:15.760 the split fingered fastball. But again, Tim, I feel like 0:18:15.880 --> 0:18:20.560 people don't realize that Yamamoto has pitched fantastic in his 0:18:20.640 --> 0:18:24.199 last six starts at the highest level. He's had a 0:18:24.200 --> 0:18:27.000 great year, but in his last six starts, going back 0:18:27.040 --> 0:18:30.320 to that almost no hitter in Baltimore, he's. 0:18:30.119 --> 0:18:31.119 On another level. 0:18:31.480 --> 0:18:34.040 And it feels like people just want to pick apart 0:18:34.440 --> 0:18:37.480 every little weakness to come up for a reason why 0:18:37.520 --> 0:18:38.760 the Dodgers may lose. 0:18:39.320 --> 0:18:40.359 When you look at it. 0:18:40.280 --> 0:18:43.199 Objectively, it's going to be a tall task for the 0:18:43.240 --> 0:18:47.040 Phillies to stay alive tonight against that starting pitcher in 0:18:47.160 --> 0:18:48.280 Yoshi Yamamoto. 0:18:49.240 --> 0:18:52.760 Dodgers' offense, David the last few weeks has been red 0:18:52.800 --> 0:18:54.000 hot asn't it today? 0:18:54.760 --> 0:18:57.800 Yeah, And you go back to last year's postseason, all 0:18:57.800 --> 0:19:00.520 of a sudden, after the second game of the end Olds, 0:19:00.640 --> 0:19:05.080 it really took off. Not coincidentally, keyk Hernandez was inserted, 0:19:05.119 --> 0:19:07.919 and keyk is in the starting lineup again tonight, and 0:19:08.440 --> 0:19:12.440 he has started every single postseason game so far this year. 0:19:12.720 --> 0:19:15.880 And he talked about why the Dodger offense has remained 0:19:15.920 --> 0:19:18.399 red hot during their nine game winning streak. 0:19:18.880 --> 0:19:21.439 I mean last year it was just a matter of 0:19:21.920 --> 0:19:25.040 you know, not looking back and just looking living in 0:19:25.080 --> 0:19:28.399 the moment and taking a one pitch of time. And 0:19:28.440 --> 0:19:31.159 I feel like, you know, last year, we we started 0:19:32.160 --> 0:19:34.480 going really well after Game four of the NLDS, and 0:19:34.520 --> 0:19:37.480 then this year we uh, you know, we had to 0:19:37.480 --> 0:19:40.080 play through the finish line, and I think that might 0:19:40.080 --> 0:19:41.520 have been something that helped us out. 0:19:41.640 --> 0:19:45.000 And then we got to play the the. 0:19:45.000 --> 0:19:48.199 Walker around which you know, Cincinnati ratz if you look 0:19:48.240 --> 0:19:51.400 at it in an invest of three series, we could 0:19:51.400 --> 0:19:53.439
