David Vassi goes 0:01:21.880 --> 0:01:25.000 one on what with Aj Prizinski from Fox. We got 0:01:25.000 --> 0:01:28.160 your Dodgers' magical moment. Charlie Steiner will stop by. Kirsten 0:01:28.240 --> 0:01:30.399 Watson will be here in just a little bit. In 0:01:30.440 --> 0:01:32.160 a few minutes, we will head out to the gallpin 0:01:32.240 --> 0:01:35.040 Ford broadcast booth and check in with Tim Neverett and 0:01:35.280 --> 0:01:36.120 Rick Monday. 0:01:36.200 --> 0:01:36.520 Well. 0:01:36.640 --> 0:01:41.039 Last night in Pittsburgh Showhi Otani gave the Dodgers the 0:01:41.080 --> 0:01:44.160 early lead, and then Otani came out of the game. Well, 0:01:44.360 --> 0:01:46.679 Justin Robleski got the start on the mound. He'd pitched 0:01:46.680 --> 0:01:48.800 into the fifth inning, not before giving hip four runs 0:01:48.800 --> 0:01:51.080 on six hits and turning it over to the bullpen 0:01:51.160 --> 0:01:53.960 the rest of the way. Mentioned at Otanium the third inning, 0:01:54.000 --> 0:01:56.480 his second at bat, a solo home run to right 0:01:56.560 --> 0:01:59.520 center field that gave the Dodgers a one nothing lead. 0:01:59.560 --> 0:02:02.200 They weren't done a few batters later still, the third 0:02:02.440 --> 0:02:03.840 Kyle Tucker added to that lead. 0:02:04.560 --> 0:02:08.520 Piz a third Freeman at second once he can get 0:02:08.520 --> 0:02:11.280 a big lead at first, and Tucker lifts one of 0:02:11.280 --> 0:02:13.720 the ear to shadow left. That ball's gonna drop in 0:02:13.840 --> 0:02:17.000 for a hit. Pie Has comes into score Freeman, who 0:02:17.040 --> 0:02:19.919 is on the run on contact right behind him. It's 0:02:19.919 --> 0:02:22.720 a two out, two run single for Kyle Tucker and 0:02:22.840 --> 0:02:24.440 the Dodgers lead it three to nothing. 0:02:24.800 --> 0:02:26.639 You don't have to hit it hard all the time, 0:02:27.520 --> 0:02:30.680 man Tucker followed that lead. It's just a little flair. 0:02:30.639 --> 0:02:33.080 Yeah, Kyle Tucker with the two out flair, giving the 0:02:33.120 --> 0:02:35.360 Dodgers a three to nothing lead, and then the fourth 0:02:35.560 --> 0:02:38.480 Freddie Freeman added another well. 0:02:38.560 --> 0:02:41.720 During this series, the Dodgers have scored twenty three runs 0:02:43.240 --> 0:02:48.040 on twenty nine hits. They've had four home runs. Pitch 0:02:48.120 --> 0:02:50.079 to Freeman, he lines at to left field. That's a 0:02:50.200 --> 0:02:53.799 base hit. Otani will score rounding second on his way 0:02:53.840 --> 0:02:56.480 to third as Piez and Freeman with an RBI base 0:02:56.560 --> 0:02:58.720 hit makes it a four to nothing ball game. 0:02:59.080 --> 0:03:01.560 So we mentioned the said that Freddy Freeman, when he 0:03:01.639 --> 0:03:05.040 is faced killer is nine for eighteen. Will now make 0:03:05.080 --> 0:03:09.120 it ten for nineteen. He's been on base all three times. 0:03:09.400 --> 0:03:11.960 Well, the Dodgers adding one more in the fourth. After 0:03:12.000 --> 0:03:15.760 that Freddie Freeman RBI. That was a wild pitch that 0:03:15.840 --> 0:03:18.239 allowed Andy pott Has to score from third. This is 0:03:18.320 --> 0:03:21.480 the Dodgers scored three to third two more in the fourth. 0:03:21.480 --> 0:03:24.280 They were of five to nothing in cruising until well. 0:03:24.320 --> 0:03:27.080 The wheels fell off for Justin Robleski in that fifth 0:03:27.120 --> 0:03:29.680 inning as the Pirates put up at four spot to 0:03:29.720 --> 0:03:31.760 make it a five to four game. In the seventh, 0:03:31.800 --> 0:03:35.000 the Dodgers would tack on two more. An RBI ground out, 0:03:35.040 --> 0:03:37.320 a wild pitch gave the Dodgers some runs, and a 0:03:37.360 --> 0:03:40.280 satify in the eighth from Miguel Rojas put the Dodgers 0:03:40.400 --> 0:03:43.280 up on top of the Pittsburgh Pirates by a score 0:03:43.320 --> 0:03:46.680 of eight to four. But the Pirates wouldn't go away no. 0:03:46.880 --> 0:03:49.320 In the eighth inning, they tacked on two more in 0:03:49.360 --> 0:03:51.520 the bottom half of that inning to make it an 0:03:51.600 --> 0:03:55.000 eight to six game as the Dodgers, Tanner Scott would 0:03:55.040 --> 0:03:57.520 have to get the final four outs. Three strikeouns looked 0:03:57.560 --> 0:03:59.920 really good coming out of the bullpen as the Dodger 0:04:00.160 --> 0:04:02.720 close it down with an eight to six final. Justin 0:04:02.800 --> 0:04:05.880 Robleski had to leave the game after getting hit by 0:04:05.920 --> 0:04:08.320 a line drive and then an altercation at first base, 0:04:08.560 --> 0:04:10.600 and of course, show Hey Otani had to leave the 0:04:10.600 --> 0:04:13.920 game as well with left knee inflammation. More on that 0:04:14.000 --> 0:04:16.359 coming up here on Dodgers on Deck. He is not 0:04:16.560 --> 0:04:19.680 in the lineup tonight against the Chicago White Sox. Will 0:04:19.720 --> 0:04:21.760 have more coming up in just a couple of minutes. 0:04:21.800 --> 0:04:23.400 With the win, the Dodgers go to forty four and 0:04:23.480 --> 0:04:25.920 twenty five. They now have an eight game lead over 0:04:25.960 --> 0:04:28.400 San Diego and the NL West. And now the roachup 0:04:28.400 --> 0:04:32.040 continues to the south side of Chicago. Rookie Sasaki on 0:04:32.080 --> 0:04:34.719 the mound in the series opener against the first place 0:04:34.800 --> 0:04:37.839 Chicago White Sox. First pitch coming up at four forty 0:04:37.839 --> 0:04:39.600 and with more we head out to the galloping for 0:04:39.800 --> 0:04:43.040 broadcast booth this way, c Good afternoon to Tim Neverett 0:04:43.040 --> 0:04:43.679 and Rick Monday. 0:04:43.720 --> 0:04:46.080 Guys, Tim, thank you very much. 0:04:46.120 --> 0:04:49.160 Beautiful night here in Chicago on the South side at 0:04:49.279 --> 0:04:53.160 Rate Field, where tonight the White Sox will welcome the Dodgers. 0:04:53.200 --> 0:04:55.520 The White Sox have been one of the biggest surprises 0:04:55.520 --> 0:04:57.800 in all of Major League Baseball. They come in tonight 0:04:58.440 --> 0:05:02.240 in first place in them American League Central Division thirty 0:05:02.279 --> 0:05:04.600 six and thirty one, the third best record in. 0:05:04.560 --> 0:05:05.680 The American League. 0:05:05.880 --> 0:05:10.440 Meanwhile, the Dodgers are eight ahead of the San Diego 0:05:10.520 --> 0:05:14.360 Padres in the National League West, forty four and twenty 0:05:14.560 --> 0:05:18.440 five the overall record. The Dodgers have won seven straight 0:05:18.560 --> 0:05:22.320 against the White Sox, holding them to only fourteen runs 0:05:22.360 --> 0:05:24.880 in those seven games, an average of two runs a game. 0:05:25.320 --> 0:05:28.039 But this is a different White Sox team. Will venable 0:05:28.080 --> 0:05:30.560 managing them and they have found their way to the 0:05:30.600 --> 0:05:33.080 top of the standings in the American League Central Division 0:05:33.120 --> 0:05:35.160 more than the White Sox coming up. But the story 0:05:35.160 --> 0:05:38.279 of the day will show Hey Otani play. How is 0:05:38.320 --> 0:05:41.599 his left knee well? The update from the manager he 0:05:41.680 --> 0:05:45.320 says show Hey is fine ish and he will not 0:05:45.360 --> 0:05:48.120 be available tonight. He will not be able to pinch 0:05:48.200 --> 0:05:51.119 hit tonight. They did get some imaging on his left knee. 0:05:51.120 --> 0:05:51.919 It came back. 0:05:51.800 --> 0:05:56.520 Clean, and Dave said that as long as he's fine tomorrow, 0:05:56.520 --> 0:05:57.560 he'll be back in the lineup. 0:05:57.600 --> 0:06:00.920 Well, they're going to work at very cautious obviously, because 0:06:00.960 --> 0:06:02.280 they did not want to lose him for a long 0:06:02.320 --> 0:06:05.120 period of time. So in in his stead would be 0:06:05.160 --> 0:06:09.360 Santiago Espinal, who'll pinch hint for show Hey Otani. Yesterday 0:06:09.440 --> 0:06:11.560 over in Pittsburgh, and that may be the highlight as 0:06:11.560 --> 0:06:13.760 far as Hey, at one time, I actually pinch it 0:06:13.880 --> 0:06:16.520 for show, Hey Otani, So Espinol will be in there. 0:06:16.560 --> 0:06:19.600 The Dodgers kind of adjust their lineup and we see 0:06:19.720 --> 0:06:23.479 Chucky Robinson in the lineup. He will be behind the 0:06:23.480 --> 0:06:26.000 plate doing the catching and batting night for the Dodgers. 0:06:26.120 --> 0:06:28.560 Chucki's got plenty of big league experience. He was with 0:06:28.600 --> 0:06:31.200 the Angels for a little bit. But Robinson's going to 0:06:31.240 --> 0:06:33.960 make his first start this year. Last year came up, 0:06:34.000 --> 0:06:36.720 played in one game, got himself a World Series rank. 0:06:36.800 --> 0:06:38.680 So he's going to get that one game here tonight. 0:06:38.440 --> 0:06:42.120 At least absolutely. And Alice call will be the leadoff 0:06:42.200 --> 0:06:44.480 hitter tonight and the Hippie at the top of the 0:06:44.600 --> 0:06:47.479 order and play in left field. And for rookie Benz, 0:06:47.640 --> 0:06:50.160 you know, this is his thirty fifth game that he's played. 0:06:50.160 --> 0:06:52.080 Of course, missed a lot of time with the oblique. 0:06:52.080 --> 0:06:55.000 We're starting to see some better swings from rookie. It 0:06:55.120 --> 0:06:57.679 is not really translated to a lot of bass hints. 0:06:58.360 --> 0:07:00.920 He did have a bass hit in last Knight's Bowl game. 0:07:01.279 --> 0:07:03.760 Also was robbed of another base hit, which, by the way, 0:07:03.760 --> 0:07:07.280 there were some terrific defensive plays on both sides of 0:07:07.320 --> 0:07:09.720 the field. In that series in Pittsburgh, the Dodgers went 0:07:09.800 --> 0:07:13.120 two out of three, and one thing one advice I 0:07:13.200 --> 0:07:16.360 give don't take the White Sox for granted at all. 0:07:16.720 --> 0:07:19.880 They started off the season six and thirteen, but since 0:07:19.920 --> 0:07:23.120 that time, since the eighteenth of April, they've gone twenty 0:07:23.280 --> 0:07:24.480 nine and seventeen. 0:07:24.960 --> 0:07:28.520 They've had three straight one hundred lost seasons. No team 0:07:28.560 --> 0:07:31.920 has ever made it to the postseason coming off two straight, 0:07:32.480 --> 0:07:35.520 but this White Sox team is on a collision course. 0:07:35.200 --> 0:07:36.200 With the postseason, you know. 0:07:36.400 --> 0:07:38.480 And to somewhat like the Pittsburgh Bymers, they scored a 0:07:38.480 --> 0:07:41.520 lot of runs. They've scored over three hundred three eighteen 0:07:41.600 --> 0:07:44.320 to be exact, Dodgers are three hundred and seventy three 0:07:44.720 --> 0:07:47.320 and if we look at it recently, they've also had 0:07:47.360 --> 0:07:50.080 some pretty good pitching, both in the starters and out 0:07:50.120 --> 0:07:52.600 of the bullpen. So again, the Dodgers have to play 0:07:53.000 --> 0:07:56.160 very good baseball. It was a late arrival last night 0:07:56.200 --> 0:07:59.160 coming in with all the storms. O'Hare Field was actually 0:07:59.160 --> 0:08:02.160 closed down. Dodgers had to get a different airplane, one 0:08:02.200 --> 0:08:05.200 of the two that they flew into into Chicago, so 0:08:05.480 --> 0:08:07.800 didn't get to the hotel until about three o'clock local 0:08:07.840 --> 0:08:08.560 time this morning. 0:08:08.800 --> 0:08:11.160 Rokie Sasaki gets the start. He's three and three. 0:08:11.320 --> 0:08:14.640 Anthony Kay, who was going to pitch last night against Atlanta. 0:08:14.960 --> 0:08:17.120 They were rained out. He's been pushed to today. 0:08:17.240 --> 0:08:20.480 He is five and one, counting you down to the 0:08:20.480 --> 0:08:21.640 first pitch here in Chicago. 0:08:21.800 --> 0:08:23.480 Tim all right, thank you guys, as we count you 0:08:23.520 --> 0:08:25.600 down to first pitch.

Yeah, So with shoe Heyotani. 0:10:25.000 --> 0:10:27.800 Last night after the game, Dave Roberts made it clear 0:10:27.800 --> 0:10:29.480 to us that, first of all, when it came to 0:10:29.520 --> 0:10:31.679 that left knee inflammation, he was feeling it more, a 0:10:31.679 --> 0:10:34.640 little bit more behind the knee. Dave had thought maybe 0:10:34.679 --> 0:10:37.640 more hamstring related, but he did have some imaging this 0:10:37.760 --> 0:10:40.880 morning here in Chicago, and that revealed that there's no 0:10:41.200 --> 0:10:44.120 there's nothing to report in regard to the imaging, just 0:10:44.200 --> 0:10:47.319 some more wear and tear on that left knee. Of course, 0:10:47.320 --> 0:10:49.360 that's the knee that he's landing on he's coming down 0:10:49.400 --> 0:10:52.920 the mound. Even when Dave was asked, can you point 0:10:52.960 --> 0:10:56.880 to anything that maybe led to this knee inflammation or 0:10:56.880 --> 0:10:59.720 to bothering him? And they literally they said, he said, 0:10:59.720 --> 0:11:01.800 he talked show Hey and there was nothing to point to. 0:11:02.000 --> 0:11:04.520 So it does it wasn't a move we thought potentially 0:11:04.559 --> 0:11:06.320 it was a move that he made when he was 0:11:06.320 --> 0:11:10.040 attempting to steal second. Obviously we saw him running the bases. 0:11:10.080 --> 0:11:11.800 He was a bit aggressive in the game yesterday, but 0:11:12.200 --> 0:11:14.199 they said it was nothing there. It just kind of 0:11:14.240 --> 0:11:17.079 started bothering him and due to how they were being 0:11:17.080 --> 0:11:19.640 a little bit more preventive and being one step ahead 0:11:19.760 --> 0:11:22.560 at deciding to remove him out of the game, he 0:11:22.679 --> 0:11:25.280 isn't a very good spot. Dave said that if this 0:11:25.480 --> 0:11:28.600 was a game not in the regular season early June 0:11:28.800 --> 0:11:32.160 in Chicago, then if it was a higher stakes game, 0:11:32.200 --> 0:11:34.000 then he would have been in the lineup. So they 0:11:34.000 --> 0:11:36.160 do feel good ultimately as to where he's at, but 0:11:36.200 --> 0:11:39.440 they're going to give him today. Potentially tomorrow that is 0:11:39.440 --> 0:11:41.280 on the table as well. He might be down tomorrow, 0:11:41.320 --> 0:11:43.520 but they're kind of just gonna read and react. But 0:11:43.679 --> 0:11:46.080 as of right now, he's continuing to feel better, which 0:11:46.080 --> 0:11:46.920 is a very good sign. 0:11:47.160 --> 0:11:50.079 That is a great sign, and again it's June the twelfth. 0:11:50.080 --> 0:11:52.520 There's no need to rush back and try to play 0:11:52.520 --> 0:11:54.800 a game tonight. If you're not one hundred percent or 0:11:54.840 --> 0:11:57.160 close to one hundred percent, this is a long season. 0:11:57.200 --> 0:11:59.560 If the Dodgers need to show Hey more than anyed 0:11:59.559 --> 0:12:00.400 anybody else. 0:12:01.120 --> 0:12:01.560 They do. 0:12:01.600 --> 0:12:03.319 And even with that, Dave was saying, you know, they 0:12:03.320 --> 0:12:05.400 feel good about him making his next start, which is 0:12:05.440 --> 0:12:09.120 going to be on Wednesday. And it did come up that, 0:12:09.200 --> 0:12:11.600 you know, shohe of Tani actually did have knee surgery 0:12:11.640 --> 0:12:13.760 back in twenty nineteen. So when he was born, he 0:12:14.040 --> 0:12:17.400 was essentially his kneecap and layman's terms, his kneecap is 0:12:17.400 --> 0:12:19.760 like in two essentially, so they cleaned it up a 0:12:19.800 --> 0:12:22.840 little bit and that is something that naturally could lead 0:12:22.880 --> 0:12:24.880 to wear and tear, that could lead to some inflammation. 0:12:25.000 --> 0:12:27.280 And so Dave he was asked about that and he 0:12:27.320 --> 0:12:29.319 was saying, you know, he didn't hear anything in regard 0:12:29.360 --> 0:12:32.679 pointing to that surgery back in twenty nineteen. So at 0:12:32.679 --> 0:12:35.240 this rate, they're very much just more of this might 0:12:35.320 --> 0:12:37.560 just be the natural wear and tear, and sometimes you 0:12:37.559 --> 0:12:40.080 feel a little inflammation. We all feel here and there. 0:12:40.160 --> 0:12:42.600 So they do feel that this is not something that's 0:12:42.640 --> 0:12:45.160 going to lead to a high concern or anything like that. 0:12:45.440 --> 0:12:49.120 But because like you mentioned, they're so focused on the 0:12:49.160 --> 0:12:53.040 long game that it's more of okay, if you feel something, now, 0:12:53.320 --> 0:12:56.199 let's give him a few days to then allow himself 0:12:56.280 --> 0:12:58.520 just to recover, get some treatment on it and feel better. 0:12:58.760 --> 0:13:00.640 And they have, you know, the opportunity in the depth 0:13:00.720 --> 0:13:03.040 with their lineup. Yes, of course they are down a 0:13:03.040 --> 0:13:05.240 couple of guys. No Will Smith, who's on the il 0:13:05.600 --> 0:13:08.120 A no show Hey. He did say that, if you know, 0:13:08.280 --> 0:13:11.200 for more of the cat and mouse game show Hey 0:13:11.320 --> 0:13:14.280 is technically available off the bench if need be. It 0:13:14.320 --> 0:13:15.920 sounds like they want to stay away from him, but 0:13:16.280 --> 0:13:18.160 they just are more you know, they've got the option. 0:13:18.240 --> 0:13:20.559 So Santiago is in as the DH and then Alex 0:13:20.600 --> 0:13:22.440 call is going to be batting lead off, and we 0:13:22.520 --> 0:13:24.360 know Alex Fall he will do anything in his power 0:13:24.400 --> 0:13:26.360 to get on base. So hopefully the guys behind him 0:13:26.400 --> 0:13:27.880 can help get the offense going. 0:13:27.760 --> 0:13:30.240 No doubt, different looking lineup, hopefully they can continue the 0:13:30.240 --> 0:13:32.240 winning for the Dodgers. Thank you, curious, we'll check out 0:13:32.240 --> 0:13:33.719 with you after the game. Still they come here on 0:13:33.800 --> 0:13:36.280 Moronggo Casino Dodgers on deck.

Blake Snell in the sixty day 0:14:45.360 --> 0:14:47.840 IL with the loose bodies removed from his elbow. He's 0:14:47.840 --> 0:14:51.160 continuing his throwing progression. Brock Stewart is actually in Ontario 0:14:51.160 --> 0:14:53.720 with the Tower Buzzards on a minor league rehab assignment. Tonight, 0:14:54.000 --> 0:14:56.360 he has scheduled to pitch out of the bullpen. Tommy 0:14:56.480 --> 0:14:59.000 Edmund is with Triple A Oklahoma City. He is on 0:14:59.160 --> 0:15:01.960 track to be activated and play for the first time 0:15:02.000 --> 0:15:05.120 this year on Tuesday when the Dodgers return home. 0:15:05.160 --> 0:15:07.480 All right, let's return to Chicago and check out with 0:15:07.480 --> 0:15:07.840 the Dodgers. 0:15:07.840 --> 0:15:13.400 Skipper questions for Dave Dave, can you just describe Dave? 0:15:13.440 --> 0:15:15.880 Can you talk about the pressure in. 0:15:15.920 --> 0:15:18.120 The dugouts with Dave Roberts. 0:15:18.880 --> 0:15:22.200 He is doing He's doing fine today. I think that 0:15:23.640 --> 0:15:27.200 we got we got some pictures. Uh, there was no findings. 0:15:27.520 --> 0:15:31.320 It's just the normal wear and tear. I thought initially 0:15:31.360 --> 0:15:32.200 it was a hamstring. 0:15:32.280 --> 0:15:33.080 It was the knee. 0:15:33.640 --> 0:15:37.680 So it just kind of got upset, swelled up a 0:15:37.680 --> 0:15:41.280 little bit, and so I think we were kind of 0:15:41.320 --> 0:15:43.320 getting ahead of it smart getting him. 0:15:43.200 --> 0:15:44.800 Out of the game, which I think was prudent. 0:15:45.560 --> 0:15:49.880 And then with the travel, it's just just to give 0:15:49.920 --> 0:15:52.440 him an extra day, and my hope is that he's 0:15:52.480 --> 0:15:55.760 in there tomorrow, but if not, he'll need another day. 0:15:55.800 --> 0:15:58.160 But it's something that I think that we can. 0:15:58.040 --> 0:16:02.480 Manage, uh not an eye situation, and just seeing him today, 0:16:02.960 --> 0:16:07.160 he feels fine ish. But again, just giving him extra 0:16:07.280 --> 0:16:08.480 day is the smart thing to do. 0:16:08.480 --> 0:16:11.160 Do you have a better idea as to when this happened? 0:16:11.680 --> 0:16:13.720 There is no incident, we don't know. 0:16:13.880 --> 0:16:17.240 He doesn't know, and I was like, I asked him 0:16:17.240 --> 0:16:19.800 if it was during the pitching, was it, you know, 0:16:19.920 --> 0:16:21.960 when he was hitting, when he was trying to steal 0:16:22.000 --> 0:16:25.160 a base, and there was no one, you know, incident, 0:16:25.280 --> 0:16:26.160 So I don't know. 0:16:26.200 --> 0:16:27.720 I think that's maybe a good thing. 0:16:28.040 --> 0:16:31.200 Would you say when you say the knee, like, is 0:16:31.240 --> 0:16:32.440 there a specific part of the knee? 0:16:32.480 --> 0:16:34.680 Is it something that is related to the twenty nineteen 0:16:34.720 --> 0:16:37.680 surgery that he had or he said that there. 0:16:37.600 --> 0:16:39.760 Was some soreness in the back and then that's where 0:16:39.760 --> 0:16:41.400 the swelling is at. But that's where a lot of 0:16:41.400 --> 0:16:45.280 the swelling with the knee kind of like builds. But again, 0:16:45.320 --> 0:16:48.640 his range of motion today is good and so if 0:16:48.680 --> 0:16:51.600 it was another you know, time in the season, he'd 0:16:51.640 --> 0:16:52.400 be in there tonight. 0:16:52.600 --> 0:16:54.360 All right, there's a manager, Dave Roberts. 0:16:54.360 --> 0:16:56.440 So it sounds like show hey, O, Tani is okay, 0:16:56.840 --> 0:16:58.800 and it's just now day to day moving forward with 0:16:58.800 --> 0:17:01.160 that inflammation in the left. When we continue here on 0:17:01.320 --> 0:17:03.800 Rogo Casino Dodgers on Deck, we'll get into more with 0:17:03.880 --> 0:17:06.040 David vas as we lead you up to first pitch 0:17:06.240 --> 0:17:08.920 from the South Side of Chicago, Dodgers and White Sox 0:17:08.960 --> 0:17:10.680 on this Friday. I'm Tim Kates is the back to 0:17:10.680 --> 0:17:13.000 back World Series champion Dodgers Audio Network. 0:17:16.080 --> 0:17:20.920 As we were saying, this is Marongo Casino Dodgers on 0:17:21.119 --> 0:17:25.720 Deck on the official home of La Dodgers Baseball. 0:17:25.680 --> 0:17:28.560 Dodgers and White Sox Rookie Sasanki on the Mount Todgers 0:17:28.600 --> 0:17:30.800 Baseball brought to by al Ponto, born in La. Made 0:17:30.800 --> 0:17:34.120 for your game, Dale Poto brings authentic Mexican style tomato sauces, 0:17:34.160 --> 0:17:36.320 salsas and hot sauces. 0:17:35.920 --> 0:17:38.600 Right to your table al Poto Gourmet in a can. 0:17:40.400 --> 0:17:43.920 Joining Tim Kates on Dodgers on Deck, I accept everybody 0:17:43.960 --> 0:17:47.959 for who they are. This is Dodger insider David Basse. 0:17:48.200 --> 0:17:48.840 All right, DV. 0:17:48.920 --> 0:17:52.320 According to Dave Roberts, sounds like they avoided disaster or 0:17:52.480 --> 0:17:54.640 potential problem with his knee and Otawani. 0:17:55.200 --> 0:17:58.879 Yeah, And it seemed like Dave Roberts was unsure where 0:17:58.920 --> 0:18:02.920 the issue was Otani's left knee last night after the game, 0:18:03.359 --> 0:18:05.040 because he said it was in the back of the 0:18:05.119 --> 0:18:08.600 left knee. He thought it was a hamstring issue more 0:18:08.640 --> 0:18:11.440 than a left knee issue. But then again today, as 0:18:11.480 --> 0:18:14.119 you heard him say, now that's where you know, the 0:18:14.200 --> 0:18:17.600 swelling starts to really show itself in the back of 0:18:17.600 --> 0:18:20.840 the left knee. So it is Otani's left knee. And 0:18:20.880 --> 0:18:24.760 I did see video of Otani arriving at raid Field 0:18:24.920 --> 0:18:28.679 in Chicago today and he was not limping. He was 0:18:28.720 --> 0:18:32.639 carrying a carry on type of suitcase, so he was 0:18:32.680 --> 0:18:35.159
