0:00:12.360 --> 0:00:14.440
<v Speaker 3>The only reason the Dodgers are doing this because they

0:00:14.520 --> 0:00:15.480

0:00:15.480 --> 0:00:17.360

<v Speaker 2>gonna check in with Charlie steiner Rick Monday out of

0:01:36.160 --> 0:01:39.960
<v Speaker 2>the galpin Ford broadcast booth. Well, Dodgers were off yesterday

0:01:39.959 --> 0:01:43.399
<v Speaker 2>before that Wednesday, they wrapped up their series in Colorado

0:01:43.480 --> 0:01:46.479
<v Speaker 2>going for the sweep. Roki Sasaki was on the mound,

0:01:46.680 --> 0:01:48.960
<v Speaker 2>had traffic on the base pass for the five Indians.

0:01:49.000 --> 0:01:51.080
<v Speaker 2>He was out there, gave up two runs on seven

0:01:51.160 --> 0:01:54.160
<v Speaker 2>hits while striking out six, but the Dodgers offense gave

0:01:54.240 --> 0:01:56.680
<v Speaker 2>him an instant lead. About the second inning, Key k

0:01:56.840 --> 0:02:00.160
<v Speaker 2>Hernandez an RBI single, Dodgers up one to nothing. Then

0:02:00.160 --> 0:02:03.080
<v Speaker 2>in the fourth, Mookie Betts home run number sixteen on

0:02:03.200 --> 0:02:06.280
<v Speaker 2>this season, solo shot Dodgers a two to nothing lead.

0:02:06.400 --> 0:02:09.280
<v Speaker 2>Later in the fourth, key K Hernandez at it again.

0:02:09.639 --> 0:02:11.200
<v Speaker 7>PK with an RBI base hit.

0:02:11.280 --> 0:02:12.720
<v Speaker 5>Scored Bets in the second.

0:02:12.760 --> 0:02:18.160
<v Speaker 3>In it one on one out stretch pitch and Kei

0:02:18.240 --> 0:02:20.880
<v Speaker 3>k hits a high fly ball to left and deep.

0:02:21.240 --> 0:02:23.960
<v Speaker 5>This ball headed back toward the wall. Fiend at the wall,

0:02:24.000 --> 0:02:27.280
<v Speaker 5>he looks up, it's gone. It's a two run home run.

0:02:27.440 --> 0:02:31.160
<v Speaker 3>Ke K Hernandez and the Dodgers lead at four to

0:02:31.160 --> 0:02:36.920
<v Speaker 3>nothing by towering fly ball the left. The ki K

0:02:37.120 --> 0:02:40.320
<v Speaker 3>home run number two on the season, and he has

0:02:40.400 --> 0:02:42.840
<v Speaker 3>driven in three of the four Dodger runs.

0:02:42.880 --> 0:02:46.560
<v Speaker 2>Tonight, key K Hernandez goes deep, two run shot, Dodgers

0:02:46.639 --> 0:02:50.680
<v Speaker 2>cruising with a four to nothing lead. However, in the fourth,

0:02:50.840 --> 0:02:53.120
<v Speaker 2>runner is on when the ball was hit to left field,

0:02:53.160 --> 0:02:55.640
<v Speaker 2>te Oscar Hernandez didn't get a good route on the

0:02:55.680 --> 0:02:59.000
<v Speaker 2>baseball actually got past him for a two run double,

0:02:59.040 --> 0:03:01.079
<v Speaker 2>and all of a sudden, the Dodgers lead was forwarded two.

0:03:01.160 --> 0:03:04.000
<v Speaker 2>Then in the seventh inning, Alex Vesia on in relief.

0:03:04.040 --> 0:03:07.200
<v Speaker 2>The Dodgers up forwarded two. Vessie comes in and with

0:03:07.320 --> 0:03:10.839
<v Speaker 2>two outs a walk. The next batter, Mickey moniac two

0:03:10.919 --> 0:03:13.360
<v Speaker 2>run home run comes back to bite him as the

0:03:13.440 --> 0:03:16.760
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers find themselves all tied up with the Rockies AD four.

0:03:16.880 --> 0:03:19.000
<v Speaker 2>Neither team would score in the eighth. Jack Tryer pitched

0:03:19.000 --> 0:03:21.120
<v Speaker 2>the bottom of the inning. Kyle Hurt got the ninth.

0:03:21.360 --> 0:03:24.280
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers and Rockies went to extra innings in Denver. In

0:03:24.320 --> 0:03:26.960
<v Speaker 2>the top of the tenth, Freddie Freeman sack fly scored

0:03:27.000 --> 0:03:30.080
<v Speaker 2>Andy Piz Dodgers at five to four lead, but with

0:03:30.160 --> 0:03:34.280
<v Speaker 2>a runner at second base, Mookie Betts with a huge insurance.

0:03:33.840 --> 0:03:36.720
<v Speaker 3>Run the Rockies with a left hander Bernardino.

0:03:36.840 --> 0:03:38.520
<v Speaker 7>He's up now.

0:03:38.520 --> 0:03:40.880
<v Speaker 3>The pitch to Bets line drive center field base hit.

0:03:40.920 --> 0:03:43.640
<v Speaker 3>Ty Oscar touches third. He's coming to the plate pro

0:03:43.800 --> 0:03:48.200
<v Speaker 3>from Carrig too late. RBI base hit. Tay Oscar scores

0:03:48.400 --> 0:03:50.360
<v Speaker 3>and the Dodgers lead at six to four.

0:03:50.840 --> 0:03:53.800
<v Speaker 2>Tay Oscar Hernandez comes in to score on the Mookie

0:03:53.800 --> 0:03:56.600
<v Speaker 2>Bets RBI single. That is the top tier play of

0:03:56.640 --> 0:03:59.240
<v Speaker 2>the game, brought to by Arco Quality, top tier gas

0:03:59.320 --> 0:04:01.160
<v Speaker 2>for less. So the Dodgers re took the lead in

0:04:01.240 --> 0:04:03.120
<v Speaker 2>the top of the tenth with a two spot. The

0:04:03.120 --> 0:04:05.440
<v Speaker 2>bottom of the tenth went to Tanner Scott. Yes, the

0:04:05.480 --> 0:04:08.280
<v Speaker 2>same Tanner Scott who pitched twenty seven pitches the night

0:04:08.320 --> 0:04:10.680
<v Speaker 2>before in a save against the Rockies. He had talked

0:04:10.680 --> 0:04:13.280
<v Speaker 2>to Dave Roberts during batting practice said he's good to go.

0:04:13.400 --> 0:04:15.440
<v Speaker 2>So Dave Roberts went back to Tanner Scott for back

0:04:15.480 --> 0:04:17.320
<v Speaker 2>to back outings and he put up a one, two

0:04:17.400 --> 0:04:18.880
<v Speaker 2>three bottom half of the tenth inning.

0:04:18.920 --> 0:04:21.000
<v Speaker 4>Nobody Across took eight pitches.

0:04:21.040 --> 0:04:23.719
<v Speaker 2>That was it from Tanner Scott as the Dodgers get

0:04:23.760 --> 0:04:25.920
<v Speaker 2>the win in Denverse, six to four over the Rockies.

0:04:25.960 --> 0:04:26.800
<v Speaker 4>Kyle Hurt to the win.

0:04:27.240 --> 0:04:30.360
<v Speaker 2>Tanner Scott gets the save, as eighteenth of this season.

0:04:30.680 --> 0:04:32.800
<v Speaker 2>As the Dodgers win it in ten innings. They get

0:04:32.800 --> 0:04:35.440
<v Speaker 2>the three games sweep, their ninth series sweep this year.

0:04:35.720 --> 0:04:37.960
<v Speaker 2>They are now four to zero and extra inning games.

0:04:38.040 --> 0:04:40.560
<v Speaker 2>They're nine games up in the division over San Diego

0:04:40.560 --> 0:04:42.800
<v Speaker 2>as they return home now for the start of a

0:04:42.920 --> 0:04:48.400
<v Speaker 2>brief three game homestand against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Yoshinobu Yamamoto

0:04:48.400 --> 0:04:50.320
<v Speaker 2>on the mound in the series opener first pitch is

0:04:50.360 --> 0:04:51.600
<v Speaker 2>seven to ten, and with more we head out to

0:04:51.640 --> 0:04:53.520
<v Speaker 2>the galloping Ford broadcast booth as we.

0:04:53.520 --> 0:04:56.800
<v Speaker 4>Say hello to Charlie Steiner and Rick Monday. Guys.

0:04:56.960 --> 0:04:59.560
<v Speaker 8>All right, Tim, the Dodgers are back home. They had

0:04:59.640 --> 0:05:02.400
<v Speaker 8>dropped off their drag cleaning over the weekend. They've got

0:05:02.400 --> 0:05:04.800
<v Speaker 8>the Pirates here and then they hit the road again.

0:05:05.680 --> 0:05:06.760
<v Speaker 1>Game one, twenty.

0:05:06.560 --> 0:05:07.520
<v Speaker 5>Nine for the Dodgers.

0:05:07.640 --> 0:05:11.560
<v Speaker 8>Thirty four games remained in the regular season, thirty seven days.

0:05:11.640 --> 0:05:14.840
<v Speaker 8>This afternoon, Brewers beat the Braves two to one, and

0:05:14.960 --> 0:05:17.000
<v Speaker 8>so in the race for the best record in the

0:05:17.120 --> 0:05:21.040
<v Speaker 8>National League, all the home field ramifications of the postseason,

0:05:21.520 --> 0:05:23.800
<v Speaker 8>Brews to to won over the Braves, and so the

0:05:23.839 --> 0:05:27.320
<v Speaker 8>Dodgers find themselves tonight two and a half behind Milwaukee

0:05:27.680 --> 0:05:30.960
<v Speaker 8>and two games in front of the Atlanta Braids. Well,

0:05:31.120 --> 0:05:36.960
<v Speaker 8>a three game sweep in Colorado, mope, not unexpected, not unexpected.

0:05:36.960 --> 0:05:39.680
<v Speaker 9>But I think the biggest takeaway that I got in

0:05:39.760 --> 0:05:43.680
<v Speaker 9>talking to the Dave Roberts also the fact the offense

0:05:44.120 --> 0:05:47.440
<v Speaker 9>was really running on more of the cylinders than what

0:05:47.520 --> 0:05:48.120
<v Speaker 9>he has seen.

0:05:48.200 --> 0:05:49.960
<v Speaker 7>You know, the month the buckets is not in that kind.

0:05:50.040 --> 0:05:52.680
<v Speaker 9>Eight and ten is their record after the Dodgers coming

0:05:52.720 --> 0:05:55.600
<v Speaker 9>off of that series. Yes, you have expectations to beat

0:05:55.600 --> 0:05:58.760
<v Speaker 9>the Rockies, although some very close games up in that

0:05:59.279 --> 0:06:02.000
<v Speaker 9>high altitude. But the Dodgers need to improve Charlie at

0:06:02.000 --> 0:06:04.359
<v Speaker 9>home because if we look at him the last sixteen

0:06:04.400 --> 0:06:06.120
<v Speaker 9>games they played at home, you figure what's going to

0:06:06.160 --> 0:06:08.160
<v Speaker 9>be comfortable with. They've lost ten of the last sixteen

0:06:08.240 --> 0:06:09.200
<v Speaker 9>year And.

0:06:09.200 --> 0:06:12.839
<v Speaker 8>So the Dodgers find themselves comfortably in front in the

0:06:12.880 --> 0:06:16.320
<v Speaker 8>division race, well in front of both San Diego and Arizona.

0:06:16.800 --> 0:06:20.159
<v Speaker 8>And the Pirates are an interesting team now O'Neil Cruz

0:06:20.279 --> 0:06:23.200
<v Speaker 8>is back. They still are on the outside looking in

0:06:23.279 --> 0:06:26.479
<v Speaker 8>for a possible wildcard spot. But they've been a better

0:06:26.560 --> 0:06:29.240
<v Speaker 8>team this year, although they have had struggles in the

0:06:29.240 --> 0:06:30.039
<v Speaker 8>month of August.

0:06:30.480 --> 0:06:33.159
<v Speaker 9>Tell you what, and they get overlooked because you look

0:06:33.160 --> 0:06:36.159
<v Speaker 9>at the Dodgers batting average, team average second best in

0:06:36.240 --> 0:06:37.200
<v Speaker 9>Major League Baseball.

0:06:37.440 --> 0:06:39.520
<v Speaker 7>Who's third the Pittsburgh.

0:06:39.000 --> 0:06:42.400
<v Speaker 9>Pirates that catches a lot of people also runs per game,

0:06:42.720 --> 0:06:45.560
<v Speaker 9>the Dodgers are fifth in Major League Baseball. Who's in

0:06:45.600 --> 0:06:48.800
<v Speaker 9>front of them the Pittsburgh Pirates fourth in baseball?

0:06:48.920 --> 0:06:52.480
<v Speaker 8>And who has the most hits in Major League Baseball?

0:06:52.760 --> 0:06:56.280
<v Speaker 8>The Pittsburgh Pirates one hundred and thirty six.

0:06:56.680 --> 0:06:57.360
<v Speaker 5>Who the thunk?

0:06:57.560 --> 0:07:00.120
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, and they're hungry. I mean, they're embarking up on

0:07:00.160 --> 0:07:03.960
<v Speaker 9>their longest road trip of the season, nine games, and

0:07:04.320 --> 0:07:06.000
<v Speaker 9>they've got a chance to knock on the door and

0:07:06.080 --> 0:07:09.039
<v Speaker 9>maybe close a little bit of a gam But you

0:07:09.040 --> 0:07:11.760
<v Speaker 9>know they're gonna be facing some teams that are pretty

0:07:11.840 --> 0:07:13.760
<v Speaker 9>darn good on this road trip and hoping that they

0:07:13.800 --> 0:07:16.560
<v Speaker 9>can continue to hit the ball put the ball into play.

0:07:16.600 --> 0:07:19.080
<v Speaker 9>The question is the difference. The Dodgers are tightened up

0:07:19.080 --> 0:07:21.320
<v Speaker 9>a few things. Their base running has been much much better.

0:07:21.360 --> 0:07:23.240
<v Speaker 9>If we look at the last ten days, it was

0:07:23.280 --> 0:07:25.560
<v Speaker 9>a problem there for a while. They have done a

0:07:25.600 --> 0:07:27.960
<v Speaker 9>lot of things much much better in the last ten

0:07:28.000 --> 0:07:28.840
<v Speaker 9>games that they played.

0:07:28.880 --> 0:07:32.520
<v Speaker 8>Tonight's pitching matchup, Ya'm a moto for the Dodgers twelve up,

0:07:32.600 --> 0:07:36.920
<v Speaker 8>seven down, a two sixty er, Bubba Chandler six and

0:07:36.960 --> 0:07:39.720
<v Speaker 8>eight and a four to twenty three er. But he

0:07:39.760 --> 0:07:42.680
<v Speaker 8>has won each of his last three starts against the Brewers,

0:07:42.720 --> 0:07:44.760
<v Speaker 8>the Mets, and the Red Sox, and so he's no

0:07:44.840 --> 0:07:48.680
<v Speaker 8>pushover those last three starts a two sixteen ra So

0:07:48.720 --> 0:07:51.480
<v Speaker 8>this should be a fairly interesting game tonight, the first

0:07:51.520 --> 0:07:55.160
<v Speaker 8>of three, and the Dodgers hit the road again, Tien.

0:07:55.240 --> 0:07:56.040
<v Speaker 1>That's it for now.

0:07:56.360 --> 0:07:58.320
<v Speaker 2>Talk to you a little bit later on a right

0:07:58.400 --> 0:08:00.920
<v Speaker 2>thank you. Charlie's been counting down to first pitch. Dodger fans,

0:08:00.920 --> 0:08:03.800

0:09:01.480 --> 0:09:04.680
<v Speaker 2>The Dodgers won on Wednesday night and extra innings. What

0:09:04.800 --> 0:09:06.720
<v Speaker 2>it was the night was shohl Tani had a quiet

0:09:06.800 --> 0:09:08.840
<v Speaker 2>night at the plate. He was zero for four but

0:09:08.960 --> 0:09:11.360
<v Speaker 2>did get on via a walk, now hitting two ninety

0:09:11.360 --> 0:09:13.520
<v Speaker 2>one on this season at three to eighty eight on

0:09:13.679 --> 0:09:16.200
<v Speaker 2>base percentage, but the Dodgers still managed to pull out

0:09:16.240 --> 0:09:18.160

<v Speaker 2>Cars with the k Dodgers back home at Uniclow Field

0:09:35.480 --> 0:09:39.679
<v Speaker 2>at Dodgers Stadium and hopefully Kirston they packed those offensive

0:09:39.720 --> 0:09:41.160
<v Speaker 2>bags with them back from Denver.

0:09:41.600 --> 0:09:43.400
<v Speaker 10>That is you know, that is the big hope, Tim,

0:09:43.440 --> 0:09:45.560
<v Speaker 10>and you look at what the Dodgers did in that

0:09:45.640 --> 0:09:47.760
<v Speaker 10>Brewer Series. So right before they went on the road

0:09:47.800 --> 0:09:50.560
<v Speaker 10>to Colorado, they were only averaging two and a half

0:09:50.640 --> 0:09:53.640
<v Speaker 10>runs per game. Then that they get to Colorado and

0:09:53.760 --> 0:09:57.200
<v Speaker 10>they were immediately able to get back on track. Had

0:09:57.240 --> 0:09:59.760
<v Speaker 10>twenty four runs in the series on thirty five hits.

0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:02.320
<v Speaker 10>We saw the long ball, we saw extra base hits

0:10:02.480 --> 0:10:05.439
<v Speaker 10>where they were excellent with runners in scoring position, really

0:10:05.480 --> 0:10:07.960
<v Speaker 10>just continuing to pass the baton, and we were able

0:10:08.000 --> 0:10:11.160
<v Speaker 10>to see a collective of guys get going. It wasn't

0:10:11.200 --> 0:10:12.839
<v Speaker 10>just the top of the order or the bottom of

0:10:12.880 --> 0:10:16.559
<v Speaker 10>the order. Ultimately it was one through nine. So the

0:10:16.600 --> 0:10:19.439
<v Speaker 10>hope now coming back to Dodger Stadium or unique to

0:10:19.480 --> 0:10:22.000
<v Speaker 10>feel at Dodger Stadium, the hope is that they can

0:10:22.080 --> 0:10:24.600
<v Speaker 10>maintain that. And Dave Roberts was saying that he actually

0:10:24.640 --> 0:10:28.040
<v Speaker 10>feels really good with what he saw in Colorado. It

0:10:28.120 --> 0:10:30.440
<v Speaker 10>wasn't just you know, playing to the elements and the

0:10:30.440 --> 0:10:33.360
<v Speaker 10>altitude and letting the ball fly. He was really pleased

0:10:33.400 --> 0:10:36.240
<v Speaker 10>with the contact he saw from the hitters, the quality

0:10:36.280 --> 0:10:39.320
<v Speaker 10>of at bats, the decreased swing rate and the swing

0:10:39.360 --> 0:10:42.000
<v Speaker 10>and miss so he actually felt like they were taking

0:10:42.160 --> 0:10:44.760
<v Speaker 10>they were picking better pitches to try to make contact

0:10:44.800 --> 0:10:47.640
<v Speaker 10>with picking up on mistakes and putting themselves in really

0:10:47.640 --> 0:10:49.960
<v Speaker 10>good counts, because that was the issue heading into it.

0:10:49.960 --> 0:10:52.400
<v Speaker 10>They were getting behind in the count and ultimately kind

0:10:52.400 --> 0:10:54.320
<v Speaker 10>of either striking out or not being able to get

0:10:54.320 --> 0:10:56.960
<v Speaker 10>that walk. So he feels really good as to where

0:10:56.960 --> 0:11:01.280
<v Speaker 10>the group is at heading into this series against the Pirates.

0:11:01.160 --> 0:11:03.439
<v Speaker 2>And the Dodgers back home where it's not been a

0:11:03.480 --> 0:11:06.520
<v Speaker 2>good place for Kyle Tucker this year. But he's hoping

0:11:06.559 --> 0:11:08.520
<v Speaker 2>also to build off of what he's done the last

0:11:08.520 --> 0:11:10.640
<v Speaker 2>couple of games in Denver and bring that back as well.

0:11:10.720 --> 0:11:12.800
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, a couple knocks when he was in Denver, and

0:11:12.840 --> 0:11:15.720
<v Speaker 10>he actually came on the field today and took batting practice.

0:11:15.760 --> 0:11:18.600
<v Speaker 10>We've seen when guys do this. You know, there are

0:11:18.600 --> 0:11:20.440
<v Speaker 10>some guys who don't prefer to come on the field

0:11:20.480 --> 0:11:22.480
<v Speaker 10>for batting practice, like to do work in the cage.

0:11:22.720 --> 0:11:26.080
<v Speaker 10>Perfect examples of that are show Hey Otani, Freddie Freeman.

0:11:26.320 --> 0:11:28.240
<v Speaker 10>But when they do come on the field, that's when

0:11:28.240 --> 0:11:31.200
<v Speaker 10>you know that they're looking to feel something specific. For

0:11:31.320 --> 0:11:33.920
<v Speaker 10>Kyle Tucker, he was more of I just wanted to

0:11:34.000 --> 0:11:36.360
<v Speaker 10>kind of get a different look, try something different, So

0:11:36.400 --> 0:11:38.720
<v Speaker 10>we came out here this afternoon, did two rounds of

0:11:38.720 --> 0:11:41.800
<v Speaker 10>batting practice, and when we spoke to him right after,

0:11:42.200 --> 0:11:44.360
<v Speaker 10>he said he was feeling pretty good with the swing

0:11:44.400 --> 0:11:47.040
<v Speaker 10>when he was in Denver, but looking for that continuing

0:11:47.080 --> 0:11:50.800
<v Speaker 10>to look for that consistency and trying to work on

0:11:50.880 --> 0:11:52.920
<v Speaker 10>things that he did in batting practice, because there were

0:11:52.920 --> 0:11:54.760
<v Speaker 10>some swings that looked really good. I was actually talking

0:11:54.760 --> 0:11:56.839
<v Speaker 10>to no Mark Garcia Para just as to what he

0:11:56.960 --> 0:11:59.920
<v Speaker 10>was seeing, and he was saying that he liked some

0:12:00.040 --> 0:12:02.160
<v Speaker 10>of the backspin. He's saw how he was using the

0:12:02.320 --> 0:12:05.760
<v Speaker 10>entire field, and so Kyle was sharing that the focus

0:12:05.800 --> 0:12:08.960
<v Speaker 10>for him right now is making that swing repetitive and

0:12:09.000 --> 0:12:12.560
<v Speaker 10>finding ways to recreate those results and that swing. So

0:12:13.080 --> 0:12:15.280
<v Speaker 10>he's hoping to bring it into the game tonight. I'm

0:12:15.280 --> 0:12:17.080
<v Speaker 10>hoping he goes like three for four tonight and then

0:12:17.120 --> 0:12:18.840
<v Speaker 10>maybe we'll see him on the field all the time,

0:12:18.880 --> 0:12:21.480
<v Speaker 10>and that could be fine. Not to completely switch up

0:12:21.520 --> 0:12:25.040
<v Speaker 10>his routine, but just trying to find ways to maybe

0:12:25.080 --> 0:12:28.200
<v Speaker 10>not salvage the season, but recognize that there's still so

0:12:28.320 --> 0:12:30.520
<v Speaker 10>much more to come in the most important games are

0:12:30.520 --> 0:12:31.839
<v Speaker 10>to come, and he wants to be ready and in

0:12:31.920 --> 0:12:33.120
<v Speaker 10>the best position for those.

0:12:33.440 --> 0:12:35.200
<v Speaker 2>No better time to get hot than right now. If

0:12:35.200 --> 0:12:37.199
<v Speaker 2>you Kyle Talker here still, we appreciate it. Well, check

0:12:37.200 --> 0:12:38.320

0:14:11.720 --> 0:14:14.600
<v Speaker 2>Let's get the pregame thoughts of the Dodgers kipper.

0:14:16.240 --> 0:14:17.200
<v Speaker 11>Questions for Dave Dave?

0:14:17.280 --> 0:14:20.160
<v Speaker 7>Can you just describe Dave? Can you talk about the

0:14:20.200 --> 0:14:21.600
<v Speaker 7>pressure in.

0:14:21.640 --> 0:14:24.840
<v Speaker 12>The dugouts with Dave Roberts See, it was a good

0:14:24.880 --> 0:14:28.400
<v Speaker 12>day for Will taking at bats. He'll catch a couple

0:14:28.440 --> 0:14:36.040
<v Speaker 12>of bullpens today. He'll do a couple more lives and

0:14:36.120 --> 0:14:42.080
<v Speaker 12>then don't expect him to go with us too on

0:14:42.160 --> 0:14:45.400
<v Speaker 12>the road, but expect him to continue to build up

0:14:45.440 --> 0:14:49.360
<v Speaker 12>and then you know, you know, hopefully that first week

0:14:49.400 --> 0:14:53.520
<v Speaker 12>of September, you know he's active. So I don't know

0:14:54.080 --> 0:14:59.440
<v Speaker 12>how many rehab games he's going to take. But obviously

0:14:59.480 --> 0:15:02.800
<v Speaker 12>with that you can work in the dhing. But he

0:15:02.880 --> 0:15:05.200
<v Speaker 12>still needs to get his legs back under him before

0:15:05.240 --> 0:15:08.160
<v Speaker 12>we feel confident that he can, you know, take down

0:15:08.200 --> 0:15:10.720
<v Speaker 12>a major league game and feel good coming out of it.

0:15:10.920 --> 0:15:11.840
<v Speaker 5>I know he's talked.

0:15:11.600 --> 0:15:13.800
<v Speaker 6>About being paid free, but we didn't.

0:15:13.680 --> 0:15:16.480
<v Speaker 10>Have conversations with Teddy's what tells you that this is

0:15:16.520 --> 0:15:17.680
<v Speaker 10>a thing of the past.

0:15:17.800 --> 0:15:19.640
<v Speaker 6>You guys are in a position where you don't have

0:15:19.680 --> 0:15:20.240
<v Speaker 6>to really.

0:15:20.040 --> 0:15:21.520
<v Speaker 4>Think about it once those from our.

0:15:21.440 --> 0:15:26.800
<v Speaker 12>Games stay here. Yeah, I mean, I believe what he says,

0:15:26.800 --> 0:15:31.280
<v Speaker 12>and he's very in tune with his body. But at

0:15:31.320 --> 0:15:33.720
<v Speaker 12>the end of the day is there's not much of

0:15:33.800 --> 0:15:38.000
<v Speaker 12>the calendar left and he's going to play in the postseason.

0:15:39.120 --> 0:15:42.200
<v Speaker 12>So I think it's also helpful knowing that there's no

0:15:42.280 --> 0:15:45.880
<v Speaker 12>other alternative, so he's going to prepare his mind and

0:15:45.960 --> 0:15:48.440
<v Speaker 12>body to get ready to go.

0:15:48.960 --> 0:15:51.600
<v Speaker 2>All right, there's the manager, Dave Roberts, so we'll continue

0:15:51.680 --> 0:15:54.120
<v Speaker 2>here on WRONGO because you know, Dodger's on deck, and

0:15:54.160 --> 0:15:56.680
<v Speaker 2>when we come back, we will check in with David

0:15:56.760 --> 0:16:02.640
<v Speaker 2>Veza more on Will Smith, Kyle Tucker changing up things

0:16:03.040 --> 0:16:05.800
<v Speaker 2>sometimes that's a good thing to do. James the Mojo

0:16:10.040 --> 0:16:12.960

<v Speaker 1>This is Dodger Insider.

0:17:00.880 --> 0:17:03.400
<v Speaker 2>Right DV When things aren't going right, you gotta change

0:17:03.480 --> 0:17:05.440
<v Speaker 2>things up, and in the case of Kyle Tucker, a

0:17:05.480 --> 0:17:06.840
<v Speaker 2>little change of the routine.

0:17:07.359 --> 0:17:10.840
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, before we get to Kyle Tucker's routine, Oral Herschheiser

0:17:10.920 --> 0:17:13.399
<v Speaker 5>is in the booth. He is calling this series on

0:17:13.440 --> 0:17:17.159
<v Speaker 5>sports Net LA, and he obviously is super excited about

0:17:17.240 --> 0:17:19.359
<v Speaker 5>Sunday because we know what that is, bump day for

0:17:19.440 --> 0:17:20.040

0:17:20.119 --> 0:17:23.080
<v Speaker 2>Right, Oral, I've never seen a bigger love affair than

<v Speaker 2>you and snell Zilla.

0:17:24.680 --> 0:17:28.480
<v Speaker 5>Wow, there's a great level affair between LA and Oral Herscheiser.

0:17:28.520 --> 0:17:30.119
<v Speaker 5>And it's still going on right now.

0:17:30.160 --> 0:17:32.119
<v Speaker 11>But your wife, Jealous.

0:17:32.040 --> 0:17:35.879
<v Speaker 5>Sometimes sometimes get those late night phone calls.

0:17:36.119 --> 0:17:36.560
<v Speaker 4>Hello.

0:17:38.040 --> 0:17:41.320
<v Speaker 5>Anyway, Kyle Tucker did change up his routine today. He

0:17:41.400 --> 0:17:44.919
<v Speaker 5>took batting practice on the field for only the second

0:17:44.960 --> 0:17:47.679
<v Speaker 5>time this season. The last time he did that was

0:17:47.720 --> 0:17:51.119
<v Speaker 5>all the way back in May. And also, something that

0:17:51.240 --> 0:17:55.280
<v Speaker 5>Kyle Tucker does on the first game of every series

0:17:55.560 --> 0:17:58.480
<v Speaker 5>is go out to right field and shag batting practice.

0:17:58.520 --> 0:18:01.479
<v Speaker 5>But from what I've been told, Tucker plans on doing

0:18:01.520 --> 0:18:05.399
<v Speaker 5>that now before every night game the Dodgers play on

0:18:05.440 --> 0:18:08.919
<v Speaker 5>the home or road. And I did talk to JT.

0:18:09.200 --> 0:18:13.000
<v Speaker 5>Wakins and Rob van Zoyek about Kyle Tucker coming out

0:18:13.000 --> 0:18:15.240
<v Speaker 5>here and taking BP on the field with the rest

0:18:15.280 --> 0:18:18.280
<v Speaker 5>of the team for basically the first time this year,

0:18:18.720 --> 0:18:22.080
<v Speaker 5>and it just comes down to a group consensus between

0:18:22.160 --> 0:18:25.960
<v Speaker 5>him and the hitting coaches. Let's change the routine, try

0:18:26.000 --> 0:18:29.720
<v Speaker 5>to change the look, try to change the daily routine,

0:18:29.800 --> 0:18:32.879
<v Speaker 5>because obviously things have not gone his way this season,

0:18:33.240 --> 0:18:37.640
<v Speaker 5>and they especially have not gone his way at Dodgers Stadium.

0:18:37.760 --> 0:18:40.200
<v Speaker 5>So we'll see what happens. And also, I guess there's

0:18:40.200 --> 0:18:44.520
<v Speaker 5>an organic social media groundswell of giving Tucker a standing

0:18:44.560 --> 0:18:47.680
<v Speaker 5>ovation when he comes to the plate in his first

0:18:47.720 --> 0:18:50.240
<v Speaker 5>at bat, so we'll see if that happens too.

0:18:50.400 --> 0:18:51.800
<v Speaker 2>No, Dut David is brought to you by a Ford

0:19:00.800 --> 0:19:03.600
<v Speaker 2>Imma Shea was back up in Colorado and now he's

0:19:03.640 --> 0:19:04.800
<v Speaker 2>back down to Oklahoma City.

0:19:04.880 --> 0:19:08.679
<v Speaker 5>Dave, Yeah, the Dodgers gave Emma she and a lot

0:19:08.800 --> 0:19:12.600
<v Speaker 5>of you know, a big runway to be able to

0:19:12.640 --> 0:19:14.560
<v Speaker 5>try to figure things out this year. It's been a

0:19:14.600 --> 0:19:17.560
<v Speaker 5>struggle for him since spring training and the reason why

0:19:17.600 --> 0:19:20.400
<v Speaker 5>they called him up was to have some length out

0:19:20.400 --> 0:19:23.240
<v Speaker 5>of the bullpen in cors Field. You know, things can

0:19:23.280 --> 0:19:26.000
<v Speaker 5>go sideways there. But he's been sent back down and

0:19:26.040 --> 0:19:28.280
<v Speaker 5>I had a chance to catch up with Emmett before

0:19:28.760 --> 0:19:31.520
<v Speaker 5>we left Denver, and he seemed to be having a

0:19:31.520 --> 0:19:35.120
<v Speaker 5>good spirit and understanding that being in Oklahoma City can

0:19:35.520 --> 0:19:37.480
<v Speaker 5>help get his season back on track.

0:19:38.040 --> 0:19:38.200
<v Speaker 7>Yeah.

0:19:38.240 --> 0:19:39.800
<v Speaker 13>I feel like that's the only way to look at is,

0:19:40.000 --> 0:19:44.200
<v Speaker 13>you know, getting work in, and I felt like it

0:19:44.080 --> 0:19:46.400
<v Speaker 13>was it was valuable to get some time down there

0:19:46.440 --> 0:19:49.320
<v Speaker 13>and away from everything, to work on things and get

0:19:49.359 --> 0:19:51.320
<v Speaker 13>back to being you know who I know I can

0:19:51.359 --> 0:19:53.320
<v Speaker 13>be out there, So yeah, I felt good about it.

0:19:54.000 --> 0:19:58.280
<v Speaker 5>Emmett was raving about Oklahoma City's triple A pitching coach

0:19:58.400 --> 0:20:02.080
<v Speaker 5>Dave Anderson, not the stop that played with her Scheizer,

0:20:02.440 --> 0:20:05.280
<v Speaker 5>but a really good pitching coach. And he's already made

0:20:05.280 --> 0:20:10.480
<v Speaker 5>strides with Sheehans. So hopefully in September we'll see Emmett again, no.

0:20:10.520 --> 0:20:12.760
<v Speaker 2>Doubt, David great stuff will appreciate We'll check in with

0:20:12.800 --> 0:20:14.280

<v Speaker 5>charity dinner last night.

<v Speaker 7>I'll tell you what. That was a fabulous event.

0:23:48.520 --> 0:23:51.679
<v Speaker 9>The Dodgers were honored, you know, Dave Roberts and some

0:23:51.720 --> 0:23:55.240
<v Speaker 9>of the Dodgers that had, you know, big, big moments

0:23:55.280 --> 0:24:01.360
<v Speaker 9>in the World Series. That first of all, fundraiser, Magic

0:24:01.480 --> 0:24:05.960
<v Speaker 9>Johnson got up and part of the fundraiser right, and

0:24:06.280 --> 0:24:10.159
<v Speaker 9>he auctioned off two things. Magic Johnson in eight minutes

0:24:10.359 --> 0:24:16.119
<v Speaker 9>raised a half a million dollars in donations and one

0:24:16.280 --> 0:24:19.040
<v Speaker 9>of the first that he offered was a game of

0:24:19.080 --> 0:24:23.400
<v Speaker 9>horse against Magic Johnson. Magic said, look, no longer one

0:24:23.440 --> 0:24:25.480
<v Speaker 9>on one, have a game of horse. And for those

0:24:25.560 --> 0:24:28.199
<v Speaker 9>maybe not familiar, do you make a shot and it

0:24:28.240 --> 0:24:31.560
<v Speaker 9>goes in basketball, your opponent has to make that shot

0:24:31.680 --> 0:24:33.639
<v Speaker 9>or he's given a letter you spell out first. One

0:24:33.640 --> 0:24:36.320
<v Speaker 9>of the yells out, the spells out horse, you lose.

0:24:36.400 --> 0:24:40.240
<v Speaker 9>So it was a game of horse against Magic Johnson

0:24:41.040 --> 0:24:41.680
<v Speaker 9>and France.

0:24:42.560 --> 0:24:44.359
<v Speaker 4>Oh wow, and maybe on the.

0:24:44.400 --> 0:24:46.840
<v Speaker 5>Yacht is he going to take you to France? Is

0:24:46.840 --> 0:24:48.120
<v Speaker 5>that part of the back of that part.

0:24:48.160 --> 0:24:54.800
<v Speaker 9>I don't know, but two folks both both went ahead

0:24:54.840 --> 0:24:56.840
<v Speaker 9>and bid for that. So and then there was another

0:24:56.880 --> 0:25:00.400
<v Speaker 9>one where he would spend an hour at your at

0:25:00.400 --> 0:25:04.360
<v Speaker 9>your business or like, there's going to be a decision

0:25:04.680 --> 0:25:06.760
<v Speaker 9>either an hour at your business and talking to all

0:25:06.760 --> 0:25:08.679
<v Speaker 9>your employees or whatever you wanted to do on that

0:25:08.840 --> 0:25:09.399
<v Speaker 9>end of it.

0:25:09.400 --> 0:25:11.280
<v Speaker 7>Or have a barbecue at his house.

0:25:11.400 --> 0:25:13.400
<v Speaker 5>Oh, come on, I wish I was there. I would

0:25:13.440 --> 0:25:13.960
<v Speaker 5>have bid on that.

0:25:14.160 --> 0:25:15.680
<v Speaker 9>Well. I don't think you would have let you bid

0:25:15.680 --> 0:25:18.199
<v Speaker 9>on there because I think security would keep you at

0:25:18.280 --> 0:25:19.240
<v Speaker 9>least two blocks away.

0:25:19.359 --> 0:25:21.000
<v Speaker 5>That's true. But man, but it was.

0:25:21.000 --> 0:25:23.080
<v Speaker 7>A wonderful, wonderful evening.

0:25:23.119 --> 0:25:26.520
<v Speaker 9>The Dodgers were very well represented, and it's nice to see,

0:25:26.960 --> 0:25:30.439
<v Speaker 9>you know, raised for cancer research on that end of it,

0:25:30.480 --> 0:25:33.080
<v Speaker 9>and a lot of the Dodgors were involved, all the

0:25:33.160 --> 0:25:37.840
<v Speaker 9>organizations were involved. It was amazing how many former players.

0:25:37.880 --> 0:25:41.160
<v Speaker 9>I'm not talking about just Dodger players but basketball. I mean,

0:25:41.720 --> 0:25:42.359
<v Speaker 9>you look at the.

0:25:43.880 --> 0:25:45.240
<v Speaker 7>Sugar Ray Leonard was there.

0:25:46.359 --> 0:25:51.840
<v Speaker 9>Just amazing the list of people in all sports and

0:25:51.880 --> 0:25:53.639
<v Speaker 9>it was just a lovely evening.

0:25:53.880 --> 0:25:56.040
<v Speaker 5>I thought it was great to see some former major

0:25:56.119 --> 0:25:59.240
<v Speaker 5>league players that were dominant in their day, Eric Davis,

0:25:59.320 --> 0:26:02.760
<v Speaker 5>Darryl Stop, Gary Schaffield, those guys were out there too.

0:26:02.800 --> 0:26:05.080
<v Speaker 5>Did you have a chance to talk to any of

0:26:05.080 --> 0:26:05.520
<v Speaker 5>these fools?

0:26:05.560 --> 0:26:07.240
<v Speaker 9>All the way were on stage, and then the Dave

0:26:07.320 --> 0:26:10.840
<v Speaker 9>Roberts got up and accepted the Pill Lifetime Achievement Award

0:26:11.200 --> 0:26:14.160
<v Speaker 9>on behalf of the Dodgers and the players that were

0:26:14.160 --> 0:26:17.600
<v Speaker 9>there also to support. There was a red carpet of

0:26:17.800 --> 0:26:21.600
<v Speaker 9>walk down with photographers on top of that. I saw

0:26:21.680 --> 0:26:24.760
<v Speaker 9>Dave before tonight's ball game. I said, hey, one heck

0:26:24.760 --> 0:26:27.280
<v Speaker 9>of a nice speech that he gave on behalf of

0:26:27.280 --> 0:26:29.680
<v Speaker 9>the Dodgers and really kind of outlined what it took

0:26:29.720 --> 0:26:32.119
<v Speaker 9>to win last year and the mindset now in trying

0:26:32.119 --> 0:26:34.639
<v Speaker 9>to get back to the World Series again. It's not

0:26:34.720 --> 0:26:37.119
<v Speaker 9>going to be easy. By any strengthed imagination. If it

0:26:37.160 --> 0:26:38.800
<v Speaker 9>was going to be easy, every team would do it.

0:26:38.920 --> 0:26:41.560
<v Speaker 9>That just does not happen. And the Dodgers come on.

0:26:41.640 --> 0:26:45.080
<v Speaker 9>Obviously they have a lead, sizeable lead in the Western Division.

0:26:45.119 --> 0:26:49.160
<v Speaker 9>But as we well know, postseason can be a totally

0:26:49.400 --> 0:26:52.360
<v Speaker 9>different animal. And the question is between now and then.

0:26:52.600 --> 0:26:54.600
<v Speaker 9>This is game number one hundred and twenty nine. Almost

0:26:54.640 --> 0:26:57.439
<v Speaker 9>eighty percent of the season has gone. Now who's going

0:26:57.480 --> 0:26:59.840
<v Speaker 9>to be healthy going into the postseason. I'm talking about

0:27:00.000 --> 0:27:01.960
<v Speaker 9>which team is going to be healthy, which team will

0:27:01.960 --> 0:27:02.520
<v Speaker 9>be on a roll?

0:27:02.840 --> 0:27:04.280
<v Speaker 7>Right now? The Dodgers are on a roll.

0:27:04.640 --> 0:27:07.760
<v Speaker 9>Yes, they won games against teams they should win games against.

0:27:07.840 --> 0:27:10.800
<v Speaker 9>But the way that they have won that is the

0:27:10.840 --> 0:27:13.600
<v Speaker 9>sweep BLUs series in Denver, for example. We saw a

0:27:13.600 --> 0:27:16.879
<v Speaker 9>different energy level of this ball club even before they

0:27:16.960 --> 0:27:18.640
<v Speaker 9>left to go on the road trips. So hopefully that's

0:27:18.680 --> 0:27:21.119
<v Speaker 9>going to be a positive sign. And Dave Roberts has

0:27:21.119 --> 0:27:24.080
<v Speaker 9>talked about it, and we'll see what's going to happen.

0:27:24.119 --> 0:27:27.400
<v Speaker 9>But the things lead up to a very positive situation.

0:27:27.520 --> 0:27:30.280
<v Speaker 9>And by the way, do not take the Pittsburgh Pirates

0:27:30.640 --> 0:27:33.359
<v Speaker 9>for granted. The Dodgers, for example, it's talking on the

0:27:33.359 --> 0:27:37.800
<v Speaker 9>pregame show. Second in baseball in batting average, who's third

0:27:38.400 --> 0:27:41.399
<v Speaker 9>the Pittsburgh Pirates. That surprises a lot of people. Also,

0:27:41.440 --> 0:27:43.080
<v Speaker 9>in run scored, they're up there.

0:27:43.280 --> 0:27:45.240
<v Speaker 5>There you go, something you may not have known.

0:27:45.480 --> 0:27:47.000
<v Speaker 7>Thanks Rick, That's why they're listening.

0:27:47.080 --> 0:27:49.159
<v Speaker 5>We'll learn more during the nine ay of affair and.

0:27:49.160 --> 0:27:51.200
<v Speaker 7>I'll listen to you on the postgame Dodger Talk as well.

0:27:51.240 --> 0:27:51.600

<v Speaker 6>a Dodger player.

0:28:58.480 --> 0:29:01.720
<v Speaker 4>It's an engagement of endearments is high and tucked.

<v Speaker 5>The Dodgers are back for a short three game series,

0:29:05.120 --> 0:29:07.680
<v Speaker 5>and it's always great to see a guy that belongs

0:29:07.720 --> 0:29:11.320
<v Speaker 5>in cooper'stown. One day. Right now though, he's helping Andrew

0:29:11.400 --> 0:29:14.440
<v Speaker 5>Freeman and the Dodgers out, and that's the great Chase Lee,

0:29:14.440 --> 0:29:16.240
<v Speaker 5>thanks a lot for the time. Appreciate it, I.

0:29:16.480 --> 0:29:18.720
<v Speaker 11>Say, it's always a pleasure to talk with you.

0:29:18.880 --> 0:29:21.240
<v Speaker 5>Hey, I love your Gucci sunglasses. Do you wear those

0:29:21.280 --> 0:29:21.720
<v Speaker 5>in Philly?

0:29:21.760 --> 0:29:24.240
<v Speaker 11>These are my These are actually my wife's glasses. I

0:29:24.280 --> 0:29:26.840
<v Speaker 11>lost my shades. No way, Yeah, what do you think

0:29:27.000 --> 0:29:28.040
<v Speaker 11>I think? Yeah?

0:29:28.120 --> 0:29:29.800
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, those are unisex right there.

0:29:29.680 --> 0:29:30.760
<v Speaker 11>I feel clearly, I hope.

0:29:30.840 --> 0:29:30.880
<v Speaker 6>So.

0:29:32.400 --> 0:29:34.680
<v Speaker 5>Hey, uh, I haven't talked to you since she came

0:29:34.720 --> 0:29:38.200
<v Speaker 5>back from Philly and inducted into the Phillies Hall of Fame.

0:29:38.240 --> 0:29:41.320
<v Speaker 5>What was that experience like to be back with guys

0:29:41.360 --> 0:29:44.160
<v Speaker 5>that obviously you respect and they respect.

0:29:44.320 --> 0:29:46.000
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, it was. It was a great weekend a few

0:29:46.040 --> 0:29:48.920
<v Speaker 11>weeks ago. Yeah, it was great to see some old

0:29:48.960 --> 0:29:51.600
<v Speaker 11>teammates and old coaches, just some old friends in general.

0:29:52.640 --> 0:29:54.640
<v Speaker 11>You know, I spent the majority of my career in Philly.

0:29:54.680 --> 0:29:56.320
<v Speaker 11>I don't know eighty percent of my career. I played

0:29:56.360 --> 0:29:59.680
<v Speaker 11>in Philadelphia and love loved every second of it. We

0:29:59.720 --> 0:30:02.320
<v Speaker 11>want to World championship, so it's yes, it was great

0:30:02.320 --> 0:30:02.760
<v Speaker 11>to be back.

0:30:02.920 --> 0:30:05.600
<v Speaker 5>I remember the first day you joined the Dodgers. We

0:30:05.600 --> 0:30:09.560
<v Speaker 5>were in Houston when the trade happened and you showed

0:30:09.600 --> 0:30:12.640
<v Speaker 5>up for the first time. How much of that team

0:30:12.720 --> 0:30:15.080
<v Speaker 5>culture did you bring to that Dodger team.

0:30:15.520 --> 0:30:18.400
<v Speaker 11>Well, I tried to do I try to do my thing.

0:30:18.480 --> 0:30:20.640
<v Speaker 11>I don't know how much. I feel like there were

0:30:20.640 --> 0:30:23.720
<v Speaker 11>some young players on a team that definitely matured over

0:30:23.760 --> 0:30:25.680
<v Speaker 11>the time that I was there. Hopefully I had a

0:30:25.720 --> 0:30:27.720
<v Speaker 11>little little bit to do with it, but I guess

0:30:27.760 --> 0:30:28.600
<v Speaker 11>you'd have to ask them.

0:30:28.800 --> 0:30:30.720
<v Speaker 5>Do you still keep in contact with any of those

0:30:30.760 --> 0:30:32.000
<v Speaker 5>guys a little bit?

0:30:32.120 --> 0:30:34.320
<v Speaker 11>Not as much as I'd like to. I mean, we

0:30:34.360 --> 0:30:36.240
<v Speaker 11>all kind of go separate ways now we all have

0:30:36.320 --> 0:30:39.680
<v Speaker 11>families living all over the country. But definitely when I

0:30:39.720 --> 0:30:41.960
<v Speaker 11>when I see them, there's there's some good conversations that

0:30:42.040 --> 0:30:42.280
<v Speaker 11>we had.

0:30:42.480 --> 0:30:45.200
<v Speaker 5>You obviously are close to the situation or closer to

0:30:45.240 --> 0:30:49.240
<v Speaker 5>the situation with the twenty six Dodgers. Can you describe

0:30:49.280 --> 0:30:51.640
<v Speaker 5>to us what it's like at this stage, back to

0:30:51.680 --> 0:30:55.160
<v Speaker 5>back champions, you know, going through August and trying to

0:30:55.200 --> 0:30:58.040
<v Speaker 5>find a way to get that motivation for the stretch.

0:30:59.280 --> 0:30:59.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, this is.

0:30:59.800 --> 0:31:01.760
<v Speaker 11>This is the time of year where it starts to

0:31:01.800 --> 0:31:03.880
<v Speaker 11>matter a little bit, a little bit more. Obviously, the

0:31:04.440 --> 0:31:08.720
<v Speaker 11>Dodgers are playing some pretty good baseball, but from what

0:31:08.760 --> 0:31:10.280
<v Speaker 11>I've seen the work that they're putting it in, they're

0:31:10.280 --> 0:31:14.080
<v Speaker 11>trying to continue to improve. As long as Possum is

0:31:14.120 --> 0:31:16.440
<v Speaker 11>here massaging people, that's all that really matters.

0:31:16.600 --> 0:31:19.000
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, how many massages did you get or did you

0:31:19.040 --> 0:31:20.480
<v Speaker 5>stay away from the trainer?

0:31:20.520 --> 0:31:22.320
<v Speaker 11>I stayed away from I try to stay away from

0:31:22.320 --> 0:31:24.840
<v Speaker 11>the trans room as much as possible, but I do

0:31:24.960 --> 0:31:26.280
<v Speaker 11>check in with Possum occasionally.

0:31:26.400 --> 0:31:28.440
<v Speaker 5>Hey, is the dog days of August a real thing?

0:31:28.680 --> 0:31:30.520
<v Speaker 11>It is a real thing. I mean it's hot, it's

0:31:30.560 --> 0:31:33.200
<v Speaker 11>great hitting weather, but the season is a grind and

0:31:34.280 --> 0:31:36.720
<v Speaker 11>it takes some experience to figure out how to maneuver

0:31:37.000 --> 0:31:40.520
<v Speaker 11>during this time of year. Obviously, September you can see

0:31:40.520 --> 0:31:42.280
<v Speaker 11>the light at the end of the tunnel, but this

0:31:42.360 --> 0:31:44.040
<v Speaker 11>is that time you've got to dig down deep and

0:31:44.240 --> 0:31:45.160
<v Speaker 11>figure out a way to win.

0:31:45.440 --> 0:31:48.920
<v Speaker 5>You were behind the cage today, Kyle Tucker only for

0:31:49.000 --> 0:31:51.640
<v Speaker 5>the second time this year taking batting practice out on

0:31:51.720 --> 0:31:54.640
<v Speaker 5>the field. How much have you paid attention to what's

0:31:54.680 --> 0:31:57.480
<v Speaker 5>going on with him and what is him coming out

0:31:57.600 --> 0:32:01.440
<v Speaker 5>taking BP and changing his routine do for him?

0:32:01.760 --> 0:32:03.520
<v Speaker 11>Well, I mean, as a hitter, hitting it is tough,

0:32:03.600 --> 0:32:06.440
<v Speaker 11>especially at the major league level. So uh yeah, the

0:32:06.480 --> 0:32:08.920
<v Speaker 11>fact that he's changing it up a bit, you can

0:32:09.000 --> 0:32:12.120
<v Speaker 11>get him right back on track. Baseball is a funny game.

0:32:12.160 --> 0:32:14.239
<v Speaker 11>Sometimes you feel like you're doing everything in the right

0:32:14.280 --> 0:32:16.720
<v Speaker 11>way and you don't get any any results. Sometimes you

0:32:16.760 --> 0:32:17.840
<v Speaker 11>just have to switch it up a bit.

0:32:17.960 --> 0:32:20.520
<v Speaker 5>Did you ever have anything like that where you got

0:32:20.560 --> 0:32:23.040
<v Speaker 5>out of your routine you were so routine oriented, or

0:32:23.400 --> 0:32:25.640
<v Speaker 5>did you feel like just sticking to your process was

0:32:25.680 --> 0:32:26.960
<v Speaker 5>the best way.

0:32:27.040 --> 0:32:29.320
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, for the most part, I stuck to my process.

0:32:29.360 --> 0:32:32.000
<v Speaker 11>But there are iterations throughout the course of my career

0:32:32.000 --> 0:32:34.360
<v Speaker 11>that I would change a little bit, whether I saw

0:32:34.400 --> 0:32:36.040
<v Speaker 11>someone else doing it or it was just a thought

0:32:36.080 --> 0:32:38.320
<v Speaker 11>process in my mind. And you play with little things

0:32:38.720 --> 0:32:40.560
<v Speaker 11>throughout the course of the air to try to fine

0:32:40.600 --> 0:32:42.680
<v Speaker 11>tune it all and as you develop, as you get

0:32:42.760 --> 0:32:45.200
<v Speaker 11>older and gain a little bit more experience, and you'd

0:32:45.520 --> 0:32:47.320
<v Speaker 11>hopefully find a routine that works for you.

0:32:47.360 --> 0:32:49.400
<v Speaker 5>Do you feel like at this stage of the season

0:32:50.000 --> 0:32:53.240
<v Speaker 5>he's starting to get more comfortable being in new surroundings.

0:32:53.520 --> 0:32:56.600
<v Speaker 5>What do you think it is with his transition thirteen

0:32:56.680 --> 0:32:57.680
<v Speaker 5>in three years.

0:32:58.160 --> 0:33:01.000
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, I'm listening to Tuck is a really talented player,

0:33:01.760 --> 0:33:04.120
<v Speaker 11>and he's put He's on a team with other really

0:33:04.160 --> 0:33:07.120
<v Speaker 11>talented players. So for me, it's just a matter of

0:33:07.160 --> 0:33:11.680
<v Speaker 11>time and until he clicks and carries his team.

0:33:12.240 --> 0:33:14.720
<v Speaker 5>Chase Uttley is our guest as we get ready for

0:33:14.800 --> 0:33:18.280
<v Speaker 5>first pitch between the Dodgers and Pirates. I mentioned at

0:33:18.280 --> 0:33:22.440
<v Speaker 5>the beginning of this conversation you belong in Cooperstown. When

0:33:22.440 --> 0:33:25.120
<v Speaker 5>you were on the podium back in Philly, you know

0:33:25.240 --> 0:33:28.920
<v Speaker 5>their pseudo Hall of Fame. How much do you pay

0:33:28.960 --> 0:33:32.160
<v Speaker 5>attention to what people say as far as your place

0:33:32.360 --> 0:33:33.479
<v Speaker 5>in baseball history.

0:33:33.840 --> 0:33:37.440
<v Speaker 11>You can not pay attention at this point. Obviously, I'm

0:33:38.560 --> 0:33:41.080
<v Speaker 11>excited and humbled with the fact that I'm part of

0:33:41.080 --> 0:33:44.160
<v Speaker 11>the conversation, which is great. Now I'm definitely following it

0:33:44.160 --> 0:33:46.360
<v Speaker 11>a little bit closer than I used to follow it

0:33:46.560 --> 0:33:49.320
<v Speaker 11>as a player, but just you know, again, being being

0:33:49.360 --> 0:33:51.719
<v Speaker 11>part of that conversation is is excited.

0:33:51.960 --> 0:33:54.120
<v Speaker 5>Did you know how much of an impact you had

0:33:54.480 --> 0:33:57.960
<v Speaker 5>on teammates throughout your career and how much people appreciated

0:33:58.000 --> 0:33:58.800
<v Speaker 5>the way you played.

0:34:00.200 --> 0:34:04.080
<v Speaker 11>Occasionally you talk to some guys that express, you know,

0:34:04.240 --> 0:34:07.280
<v Speaker 11>how things went while while I while I was around,

0:34:07.720 --> 0:34:09.880
<v Speaker 11>and I enjoyed it. I enjoyed that process. I enjoyed

0:34:10.120 --> 0:34:13.359
<v Speaker 11>trying to leave guys in the right direction. You know,

0:34:13.640 --> 0:34:16.160
<v Speaker 11>I think it's important at times to have a guy

0:34:16.200 --> 0:34:18.120
<v Speaker 11>that's been around the block a few times, that's been good,

0:34:18.200 --> 0:34:20.600
<v Speaker 11>it's been bad, that's gonna been all around to kind

0:34:20.600 --> 0:34:21.680
<v Speaker 11>of learn from their experience.

0:34:21.880 --> 0:34:24.920
<v Speaker 5>You're still obviously in good playing shape. I know towards

0:34:24.960 --> 0:34:27.120
<v Speaker 5>the end it took a lot to put the body together.

0:34:27.200 --> 0:34:30.560
<v Speaker 5>As Krushaw calls his body a carcass. Do you ever

0:34:30.560 --> 0:34:32.799
<v Speaker 5>get the itch to come out and uh, maybe give

0:34:32.800 --> 0:34:34.440
<v Speaker 5>it one more run? Or is that gone?

0:34:34.560 --> 0:34:36.840
<v Speaker 11>You know, that is gone. I left it all on

0:34:36.920 --> 0:34:38.840
<v Speaker 11>the field, and I'll keep it, keep it that way.

0:34:39.200 --> 0:34:42.719
<v Speaker 5>Some body parts are out there still right. Probably thanks

<v Speaker 2>Pirates back in twenty twenty one on a high school.

0:36:02.880 --> 0:36:05.360
<v Speaker 2>He was drafted as a two way player, but he

0:36:05.440 --> 0:36:07.200
<v Speaker 2>gave that up after two years.

0:36:06.960 --> 0:36:07.680
<v Speaker 4>In the minor leagues.

0:36:07.680 --> 0:36:09.799
<v Speaker 2>They want him just to concentrate on pitching, and then

0:36:09.800 --> 0:36:12.080
<v Speaker 2>he skyrocketed to the big leagues. Now in his second

<v Speaker 2>five innings, two runs, four hits, five strikeouts in a

<v Speaker 2>seven decision after allowing three runs over four innings of relief.

0:36:37.560 --> 0:36:40.120
<v Speaker 2>And his only appearance against the Dodgers that was last

<v Speaker 2>he is zero to one after he gave up three

0:37:32.680 --> 0:37:35.600
<v Speaker 2>runs one earn over five innings doing his only start

0:37:35.600 --> 0:37:38.840

<v Speaker 2>of three in a row after the sweep in Denver,

<v Speaker 2>August with an era around two, first pitch coming up

0:38:20.760 --> 0:38:23.120

<v Speaker 2>games up in the NL West over the San Diego Padres,

0:38:26.200 --> 0:38:29.560

<v Speaker 2>They are currently sitting in fourth place in the NL Central,

0:38:32.280 --> 0:38:36.240
<v Speaker 2>seventeen games back in the division is they are trying

<v Speaker 2>a half games back with about five teams ahead of

0:38:41.280 --> 0:38:45.040
<v Speaker 2>them in the wild card standings. Dodgers trying to pad

0:38:45.120 --> 0:38:47.960
<v Speaker 2>their lead even more over the other teams in the division,

0:38:48.160 --> 0:38:50.520
<v Speaker 2>including San Diego who's got a two to nothing lead

0:38:50.760 --> 0:38:52.960
<v Speaker 2>over the Twins down at Petco Park. That games in

0:38:53.000 --> 0:38:56.280
<v Speaker 2>the second inning, Arizona taking on Cincinnati over in the desert.

0:38:56.280 --> 0:38:57.440
<v Speaker 2>That one in the bottom of the first and the

0:38:57.480 --> 0:39:00.920
<v Speaker 2>Diamonbacks have already jumped out to a one nothing lead

0:39:01.200 --> 0:39:03.160
<v Speaker 2>over the Reds. As it gets you ready for this

0:39:03.200 --> 0:39:06.600
<v Speaker 2>started game with Saporo start, great moment, start of Sapporo beer. Yep,

0:39:06.800 --> 0:39:09.040
<v Speaker 2>whatever your taste preference, Sapporo has you covered with the

0:39:09.080 --> 0:39:12.960
<v Speaker 2>variety of crisp and refreshing loggers, including lights and non

0:39:13.000 --> 0:39:13.799
<v Speaker 2>alcoholic beer.

0:39:13.880 --> 0:39:16.560
<v Speaker 4>Sapporo good with sushi, greats with baseball.

0:39:16.640 --> 0:39:18.919
<v Speaker 2>It's head back out to the booth one final time

0:39:19.000 --> 0:39:19.799
<v Speaker 2>before first pitch.

0:39:19.840 --> 0:39:21.640
<v Speaker 4>Charlie Steiner and Rick Monday, guys.

0:39:21.840 --> 0:39:24.680
<v Speaker 8>All right, tim first of three with the Pirates, and

0:39:24.880 --> 0:39:29.040
<v Speaker 8>tonight it's gonna be Yamamoto going for the Dodgers against

0:39:29.120 --> 0:39:33.080
<v Speaker 8>Bubba Chandler. Yamamoto has been one of the elite pitchers

0:39:33.120 --> 0:39:34.040
<v Speaker 8>in this game.

0:39:33.880 --> 0:39:35.200
<v Speaker 7>Ever since he's gotten here.

0:39:35.520 --> 0:39:38.680
<v Speaker 8>On the season twelve and seven, a two sixty RA.

0:39:39.200 --> 0:39:41.279
<v Speaker 8>If you go back to the middle of May, he

0:39:41.360 --> 0:39:45.839
<v Speaker 8>had one clunker of a start against Arizona. Set that

0:39:45.920 --> 0:39:49.800
<v Speaker 8>one aside his RA in his last thirteen starts.

0:39:50.000 --> 0:39:51.799
<v Speaker 7>It's just one sixty one.

0:39:51.920 --> 0:39:53.880
<v Speaker 9>Charlie I used the term a lot about giving your

0:39:53.920 --> 0:39:56.879
<v Speaker 9>ball club a chance to win. That's exactly what Yamamoto does.

0:39:56.920 --> 0:39:58.640
<v Speaker 9>And since the All Star Break, you look at the

0:39:58.640 --> 0:40:00.960
<v Speaker 9>five Star ands, he's three and one with an ERA

0:40:01.080 --> 0:40:04.760
<v Speaker 9>of just one point eight two, and he comes equipped

0:40:04.800 --> 0:40:06.200
<v Speaker 9>if he gets ahead in the count. I mean, it's

0:40:06.200 --> 0:40:08.600
<v Speaker 9>a little batting average to begin with for the season,

0:40:08.680 --> 0:40:10.600
<v Speaker 9>just one eighty six, but when he gets ahead in

0:40:10.640 --> 0:40:13.440
<v Speaker 9>the count of hitters, it's just a one forty two average.

0:40:13.440 --> 0:40:15.200
<v Speaker 9>So if you're a hitter, which one of the six

0:40:15.239 --> 0:40:17.319
<v Speaker 9>pitches you're going to see at any given time.

0:40:17.560 --> 0:40:20.960
<v Speaker 8>Baba Chandler goes for the Pirates tonight on the season

0:40:21.120 --> 0:40:23.840
<v Speaker 8>six and eight of four and a quarter er, But

0:40:23.960 --> 0:40:26.400
<v Speaker 8>since the All Star Break, he's three and zero and

0:40:26.520 --> 0:40:28.680
<v Speaker 8>five starts in an ERA of two and a third.

0:40:28.760 --> 0:40:30.880
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, he's won each of his last three starts, and

0:40:30.920 --> 0:40:33.920
<v Speaker 9>that's against Milwaukee, the New York Mets, and the Boston

0:40:33.960 --> 0:40:36.680
<v Speaker 9>Red Sox, and his ERA is barely about two in

0:40:36.680 --> 0:40:39.040
<v Speaker 9>that period of time, and a little banning average against

0:40:39.239 --> 0:40:41.399
<v Speaker 9>like Yamamoto, if he gets ahead in the count, it's

0:40:41.440 --> 0:40:45.000
<v Speaker 9>below a two hundred batning average against. For Chandler, he

0:40:45.160 --> 0:40:47.880
<v Speaker 9>was a victorious in four innings of relief the Dodgers

0:40:47.880 --> 0:40:50.680
<v Speaker 9>saw him last year, and the Dodgers trying to pick

0:40:50.760 --> 0:40:53.080
<v Speaker 9>up another victory here tonight in game number one hundred

0:40:53.080 --> 0:40:54.120
<v Speaker 9>and twenty nine.

0:40:54.400 --> 0:40:56.719
<v Speaker 8>And so the Dodgers get ready for the first of

0:40:56.800 --> 0:40:59.960
<v Speaker 8>three with the Pirates, then once again hit the row,

0:41:00.600 --> 0:41:04.200
<v Speaker 8>but sitting pretty with a sizeable lead in the National

0:41:04.280 --> 0:41:08.440
<v Speaker 8>League Western Division nine in front of San Diego lineups

0:41:08.440 --> 0:41:09.560
<v Speaker 8>and first pitch coming up.
