Otani, the designated 0:06:04.440 --> 0:06:07.839 hitter tonight, expected to be there again tomorrow night as well. 0:06:07.920 --> 0:06:12.240 So this Dodger balclumb they just continue to create scoring opportunities, 0:06:12.279 --> 0:06:14.000 and they did it last night, game one of the 0:06:14.080 --> 0:06:18.479 series and pounding out seventeen hits. And winning it by 0:06:18.520 --> 0:06:19.760 a score nine to four. 0:06:20.200 --> 0:06:22.120 So Otani at the top of the order. He homeward 0:06:22.200 --> 0:06:25.239 last night. He's two away from the milestone three hundred. 0:06:26.040 --> 0:06:28.720 The wind is blowing out to right right now and 0:06:28.839 --> 0:06:31.720 facing a pitcher in Jeffrey Springs who's given up more 0:06:31.720 --> 0:06:34.599 home runs than anybody in the American League with twenty two. 0:06:34.800 --> 0:06:37.159 Yeah, and he's given up some long wins in that 0:06:37.240 --> 0:06:40.039 period of time.

It bounced so high, he hit 0:10:22.679 --> 0:10:24.439 it so hard it bounced right over the head of 0:10:24.480 --> 0:10:25.199 the first basement. 0:10:25.280 --> 0:10:29.000 Kertz show Hey Otani a single and then the three 0:10:29.160 --> 0:10:33.760 run bomb to right center field, a three run shot, 0:10:33.800 --> 0:10:36.880 his seventeenth home run of the season, as the Dodgers 0:10:36.920 --> 0:10:39.720 go on and beat the Athletics last night nine to four. 0:10:40.320 --> 0:10:44.600 This is Kirston's Corner with Kirston Watson. 0:10:44.800 --> 0:10:48.000 And Kirston now joins us from what Sacramento brought to 0:10:48.000 --> 0:10:50.160 you by Cars for Kids Donate now Cars for Kids 0:10:50.200 --> 0:10:52.199 dot org De's cars with a K. 0:10:52.480 --> 0:10:54.959 Here we are Kirston the Dodgers looking to. 0:10:54.920 --> 0:10:58.800 Win again against the Athletics after a big victory last night, 0:10:58.840 --> 0:11:02.320 which was win number one's nine hundred and ninety nine 0:11:02.480 --> 0:11:04.000 for Dave Roberts. 0:11:04.080 --> 0:11:07.120 Which means if they pick up the next win, hopefully 0:11:07.120 --> 0:11:08.480 if it's to night, that means that is going to 0:11:08.520 --> 0:11:11.560 be one thousand career managerial wins for Dave Roberts, which 0:11:11.720 --> 0:11:14.439 he's the fastest manager to get to a thousand wins, 0:11:14.480 --> 0:11:16.640 which is just so want to say something remarkable. And 0:11:16.920 --> 0:11:19.959 this afternoon I spent really the day in the clubhouse 0:11:20.080 --> 0:11:23.360 just talking to guys about one what it means to 0:11:23.800 --> 0:11:27.679 achieve this milestone, what it takes to achieve this milestone, 0:11:27.920 --> 0:11:30.640 and they were all saying, you know, obviously there are 0:11:30.640 --> 0:11:32.520 a lot of superstars in this clubhouse. 0:11:32.520 --> 0:11:33.920 There's a lot of talent in this clubhouse. 0:11:34.000 --> 0:11:36.160 And with talent, and when you have the team, it 0:11:36.200 --> 0:11:39.040 does come with pressure and expectations to win, but it 0:11:39.120 --> 0:11:42.040 also takes someone who can lead the charge and lead 0:11:42.120 --> 0:11:44.360 all of these personalities that are brought together to be 0:11:44.440 --> 0:11:46.600 successful in to play for each other, play for the 0:11:46.600 --> 0:11:48.480 team on the front of their jury's not for the 0:11:48.559 --> 0:11:51.720 name on the back of their jerseys. And everyone was 0:11:51.920 --> 0:11:54.920 just praising Dave Roberts and how he's been able to 0:11:54.960 --> 0:11:57.840 do that. He is someone who you know, he cares 0:11:57.840 --> 0:12:00.360 so much about each one of these players, each one 0:12:00.400 --> 0:12:03.000 of these men, their families, their children, their wives, and 0:12:03.360 --> 0:12:06.360 he has made that a priority in this clubhouse. And 0:12:06.440 --> 0:12:09.720 so they have just said that he has set the standard, 0:12:09.880 --> 0:12:12.200 he has created a space of success. He is not 0:12:12.280 --> 0:12:14.280 only a remarkable manager and how he knows the game 0:12:14.280 --> 0:12:17.319 and how he makes a decision and has that gut 0:12:17.320 --> 0:12:20.800 feeling when he's in the duckout, but it's also who 0:12:20.800 --> 0:12:23.600 he is off the field and how he brings everyone together. 0:12:23.760 --> 0:12:27.200 And Dave said, you know, yes, this number is top 0:12:27.240 --> 0:12:30.000 of mind because we're all talking about it, but for him, 0:12:30.240 --> 0:12:33.440 it really just is another win. But he even added, 0:12:33.480 --> 0:12:37.119 you know, he's constantly telling his players to appreciate these milestones, 0:12:37.160 --> 0:12:39.280 and we've seen so many in the last two years. 0:12:39.520 --> 0:12:43.320 Kershaw's three thousand career strikeouts, We've got Freddie Freeman, what 0:12:43.400 --> 0:12:45.559 Mookie Betts the other day was with his three hundredth 0:12:45.559 --> 0:12:48.560 career home run. We've seen so many, and he was saying, 0:12:48.600 --> 0:12:50.520 it wouldn't be fair of me to tell them to 0:12:51.000 --> 0:12:53.240 bask in their milestones and to take pride in that 0:12:53.320 --> 0:12:55.720 moment and for him not to. So he is definitely 0:12:55.760 --> 0:12:57.720 grateful for everything that's come and building up to this. 0:12:57.880 --> 0:13:01.120 So hopefully, fingers crossed it comes to night, Hopefully. 0:13:00.800 --> 0:13:02.640 He gets it tonight there in West Sacramento. The other 0:13:02.640 --> 0:13:05.200 big storyline going into tonight's game was the announcement with. 0:13:05.200 --> 0:13:07.480 That show Eotani's not pitching tomorrow. 0:13:08.240 --> 0:13:10.200 Yeah, so he's not going to be on the mound. 0:13:10.280 --> 0:13:11.960 They did confirm that he is going to be in 0:13:12.000 --> 0:13:14.400 at the DH tomorrow, so you will still see him 0:13:14.600 --> 0:13:17.320 batting lead off. But Dave Roberts was saying a couple 0:13:17.320 --> 0:13:19.720 of things went into this decision. You know, he hasn't 0:13:19.800 --> 0:13:23.000 gone on regular rest this year, and so by pushing 0:13:23.080 --> 0:13:25.760 him back, it gives him those extra few days. They 0:13:25.800 --> 0:13:28.240 said that what they're going to do is tomorrow on 0:13:28.320 --> 0:13:30.960 Wednesday is going to be a bullpen game of soorts, 0:13:31.240 --> 0:13:34.080 they'll start with an opener. They're debating if maybe there's 0:13:34.080 --> 0:13:36.240 someone who can come in and be maybe a long relief, 0:13:36.280 --> 0:13:39.000 but ultimately it will be a bullpen game. Then Roki's 0:13:39.000 --> 0:13:42.079 gonna step in to pitch on Thursday against the Padres, 0:13:42.160 --> 0:13:45.400 with Sho Heo Tani pitching on Friday against the Padres. 0:13:45.640 --> 0:13:48.120 But ultimately, you know, with the show, Hey, it's just 0:13:48.240 --> 0:13:50.440 managing him in his two way abilities. We know that 0:13:50.480 --> 0:13:53.520 he's been dealing with some knee inflammation. This is a 0:13:53.559 --> 0:13:56.440 really hard surface, I've been told, so it potentially could 0:13:56.440 --> 0:13:56.800 have been. 0:13:56.720 --> 0:13:57.280 A part of that. 0:13:57.400 --> 0:14:00.480 Dave did say that the knee is ultimately it's not 0:14:00.520 --> 0:14:02.880 one hundred percent, but it isn't a good spot. So 0:14:03.080 --> 0:14:06.240 they're just really looking at managing him as a whole. 0:14:06.760 --> 0:14:09.120 In allowing him just to push back a few days, 0:14:09.320 --> 0:14:11.200 it still puts him in a position where he'd have 0:14:11.280 --> 0:14:13.800 two starts before the All Star break. We know he's 0:14:13.800 --> 0:14:16.280 going to be in the All Star Game, but ultimately 0:14:16.360 --> 0:14:18.640 just the two starts before and putting him in a 0:14:18.640 --> 0:14:21.360 really good position and against two divisional rivals, which is great. 0:14:21.160 --> 0:14:22.400 As well, no doubt about it. 0:14:22.560 --> 0:14:25.440 Bigger games against the Padres and in the division more 0:14:25.480 --> 0:14:27.080 so than against the Athletics. 0:14:27.120 --> 0:14:28.920 Christ that we appreciate. We'll check in with you after 0:14:28.920 --> 0:14:29.120 the game. 0:14:29.200 --> 0:14:30.960 Is still the cop here on Dodgers on Deck, David 0:14:31.000 --> 0:14:33.440 Vat saying, goes one on one with Eric Carros up next. 0:14:33.480 --> 0:14:35.200 That will get you an injury report and I will 0:14:35.200 --> 0:14:38.240 to hear from the manager himself. Dave Roberts knocking on 0:14:38.280 --> 0:14:40.960 the door to win number one thousand in his coaching career. 0:14:41.200 --> 0:14:43.720 It's the Dodgers and the Athletics. First pitch coming up 0:14:43.760 --> 0:14:45.680 at six forty. I'm Tim Kansas, the back to back 0:14:45.720 --> 0:14:47.680 World Series champion Dodgers audio number. 0:14:49.760 --> 0:14:55.600 This is MA Wrongo Casino Dodgers on deck on your 0:14:55.640 --> 0:15:00.200 home for the blue all season law on. 0:15:00.160 --> 0:15:02.520 Go Casino Dodgers on deck in tin Us on this 0:15:02.640 --> 0:15:04.600 Tuesday night, as we lead you up to first pitch. 0:15:04.760 --> 0:15:07.880 Dodgers and Athletics wro Ongo Casino Resort and Spa and 0:15:07.960 --> 0:15:10.680 Grand Slam for good times. Justin Robleski on the mount 0:15:10.680 --> 0:15:13.800 first pitch coming up at six forty. 0:15:14.040 --> 0:15:17.800 He's the LA Dodgers injury report. 0:15:17.640 --> 0:15:20.120 Is about UCLA healthy, official medical partner of the Los 0:15:20.120 --> 0:15:22.120 Angeles Dodgers. Blake trying it on the iel with the 0:15:22.200 --> 0:15:24.840 right elbow inflammation, Will Smith on the iel with the 0:15:24.920 --> 0:15:27.400 next inflammation. Tyler glasst now on the iel with the 0:15:27.440 --> 0:15:30.600 lower back spasms. Blake Snell is to begun throwing. That 0:15:30.680 --> 0:15:32.480 is good news, but he still needs about five and 0:15:32.520 --> 0:15:34.560 a half weeks to ramp up, so we're looking post 0:15:34.680 --> 0:15:37.120 All Star break for his return. Evan Philips looks like 0:15:37.160 --> 0:15:40.720 the closest Dodger pitcher to could be returning before the 0:15:40.760 --> 0:15:42.720 All Star break, as he has now had a couple 0:15:42.720 --> 0:15:46.880 of minor league rehabit stints. All right, he's one went 0:15:46.920 --> 0:15:49.240 away from one thousand in his managerial career. 0:15:49.320 --> 0:15:51.240 Let's head back up to Sacramento and check out with 0:15:51.240 --> 0:15:51.880 the Dodgers skipper. 0:15:52.160 --> 0:15:55.240 Any questions for Dave Dave? 0:15:55.320 --> 0:15:57.160 Can you just describe Dave? 0:15:57.200 --> 0:15:59.760 Can you talk about the pressure in the. 0:16:00.240 --> 0:16:06.080 Out with Dave Roberts, Well, the thought behind it is 0:16:06.160 --> 0:16:09.040 we're in the middle of thirteen in a row, and 0:16:09.120 --> 0:16:12.240 so if there's any opportunity for us to give him 0:16:12.280 --> 0:16:16.080 some extra rest, try to take advantage. Of it, and 0:16:16.120 --> 0:16:20.800 so pushing him to Friday allows us to have him 0:16:20.840 --> 0:16:24.840 still take down two starts before the break and then 0:16:24.960 --> 0:16:29.040 get on to division opponents. So in that vein, there's 0:16:29.120 --> 0:16:32.960 just no downside. Just made too much sense with that. 0:16:33.120 --> 0:16:34.880 I know you had talked about how his knee is 0:16:34.920 --> 0:16:37.600 not technically at one hundred percent. Was that a part 0:16:37.600 --> 0:16:39.400 of the decision as well? And do you guys think 0:16:39.400 --> 0:16:41.000 that he'll be in as the DH tomorrow or do 0:16:41.000 --> 0:16:42.240 you want him to give him a day off? 0:16:43.680 --> 0:16:49.800 He'll DH tomorrow? Is there a day off from dhing 0:16:50.240 --> 0:16:57.000 coming potentially? But I'll have that conversation show. Hey, it's 0:16:57.120 --> 0:17:01.760 just everything just kind of overall, you know, bodied workload, 0:17:01.880 --> 0:17:04.000 managing him as a full two way player. 0:17:04.320 --> 0:17:05.959 All right, there's the manager, Dave Roberts. 0:17:05.960 --> 0:17:08.560 So when we continue here on Moroco Casino Dodgers on Deck, 0:17:08.600 --> 0:17:11.920 we'll find out more from the David vassays we leach 0:17:12.000 --> 0:17:14.960 up to first Pitch Dodgers and Athletics.

Hey, Otani not pitching tomorrow. The 0:18:05.119 --> 0:18:06.680 start has been pushed back. 0:18:07.320 --> 0:18:08.439 Why. 0:18:08.720 --> 0:18:08.920 Yeah. 0:18:08.920 --> 0:18:12.200 The real story, Tim, is the fact that Dave Roberts 0:18:12.240 --> 0:18:17.040 said two weeks ago that Otani's left knee inflammation is 0:18:17.080 --> 0:18:19.320 not behind him, but he is going to have to 0:18:19.320 --> 0:18:22.320 be managed for the rest of the season. Well, the 0:18:22.359 --> 0:18:24.919 Dodgers are managing it by pushing him back, and he 0:18:25.000 --> 0:18:28.159 was only going to start two more times before the 0:18:28.240 --> 0:18:31.719 All Star break, So the Dodgers decided to give that 0:18:31.840 --> 0:18:35.040 left knee a couple of extra days and have him 0:18:35.080 --> 0:18:39.040 pitch at home against the Padres and also on this 0:18:39.240 --> 0:18:43.920 ten game homestand before the break against the Arizona Diamondbacks. 0:18:43.960 --> 0:18:46.359 So it gives him a couple of extra days, and 0:18:46.400 --> 0:18:49.240 he pitches at home, gives that left knee a couple 0:18:49.320 --> 0:18:52.160 of extra days to cool down. And also, if he's 0:18:52.200 --> 0:18:55.320 going to pitch only two more times before the All 0:18:55.320 --> 0:18:58.920 Star break, why not give him extra day's rest instead 0:18:58.920 --> 0:19:02.000 of having him have to pay on five days rest. 0:19:02.200 --> 0:19:05.200 So that was the thinking behind all this. And I mean, 0:19:05.240 --> 0:19:08.160 the Dodgers are pretty thin right now in the minor 0:19:08.240 --> 0:19:11.840 leagues as far as starting pitchers go, because River Ryan 0:19:12.040 --> 0:19:15.280 is on the il with the hamstring strain. Jackson Ferris 0:19:15.640 --> 0:19:18.560 has not gotten his season going in the right direction, 0:19:18.840 --> 0:19:22.359 so a bullpen game was the only other alternative to 0:19:22.440 --> 0:19:24.440 keep this six man rotation going. 0:19:24.680 --> 0:19:25.879 David is brought to by Ford. 0:19:25.960 --> 0:19:28.880 Ford is celebrating the fourth of July with employee pricing 0:19:28.920 --> 0:19:33.040
