WEBVTT - Dodgers on Deck (9-24-26) 

0:00:00.569 --> 0:00:03.550
<v Speaker 1>For the back-to-back world champions of baseball.

0:00:03.750 --> 0:00:05.990
<v Speaker 2>One of the greatest runs in the history of baseball.

0:00:06.070 --> 0:00:08.620
<v Speaker 1>Immortality is within their reach.

0:00:09.039 --> 0:00:10.209
<v Speaker 3>Incredible.

0:00:10.380 --> 0:00:12.060
<v Speaker 1>And while others make excuses.

0:00:12.380 --> 0:00:14.360
<v Speaker 3>The only reason the Dodgers are doing this is because

0:00:14.380 --> 0:00:15.420
<v Speaker 3>they can. They print money.

0:00:15.460 --> 0:00:17.340
<v Speaker 1>The Dodgers. This can't continue.

0:00:17.380 --> 0:00:18.239
<v Speaker 3>It's not fair.

0:00:18.420 --> 0:00:19.500
<v Speaker 1>Are making plans.

0:00:19.900 --> 0:00:20.360
<v Speaker 4>Again.

0:00:20.440 --> 0:00:25.259
<v Speaker 5>It's a singular focus on controlling what they can control.

0:00:25.440 --> 0:00:30.820
<v Speaker 1>Now your pregame host of the world champion L.A. Dodgers. &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt;.

<v Speaker 6>head out to Rick Monday and Steven Nelson. in the

0:01:41.620 --> 0:01:45.500
<v Speaker 6>Galpin Ford broadcast booth. Well, last night, the Dodgers ride

0:01:45.540 --> 0:01:49.390
<v Speaker 6>an 11 game home winning streak, looking to clinch a

0:01:49.470 --> 0:01:52.450
<v Speaker 6>buy in the wildcard round. All they needed to do

0:01:52.570 --> 0:01:54.910
<v Speaker 6>was win the game last night, but the Dodgers fell

0:01:55.050 --> 0:01:57.850
<v Speaker 6>short as the Dodgers last night fell to the San

0:01:57.870 --> 0:02:00.790
<v Speaker 6>Diego Padres by a final of five to one. And

0:02:00.810 --> 0:02:03.740
<v Speaker 6>the Dodgers fell in a hole early top half of

0:02:03.780 --> 0:02:07.680
<v Speaker 6>the fourth inning. Yoshinobu Yamamoto, a hit by pitch, but

0:02:07.700 --> 0:02:11.460
<v Speaker 6>the leadoff batter Harris on the The next batter, Manny Machado.

0:02:11.480 --> 0:02:15.430
<v Speaker 7>Yamamoto delivers, and a fly ball to center field.

0:02:16.230 --> 0:02:19.870
<v Speaker 8>Racing on back, and at the wall, Pahez looks it,

0:02:20.850 --> 0:02:26.120
<v Speaker 8>over the fence, a home run. He kept waiting for

0:02:26.130 --> 0:02:27.220
<v Speaker 8>it to come out of the sky.

0:02:27.280 --> 0:02:31.620
<v Speaker 7>Well, it did, but on landing, about 10 feet behind

0:02:31.639 --> 0:02:31.820
<v Speaker 7>the 395 sign.

0:02:34.840 --> 0:02:36.600
<v Speaker 8>And the Padres take a two, nothing lead.

0:02:36.840 --> 0:02:38.320
<v Speaker 4>Well, one guy that knew it was going to be

0:02:38.340 --> 0:02:41.660
<v Speaker 4>gone was Machado. He was standing about five feet from

0:02:41.720 --> 0:02:44.120
<v Speaker 4>home plate, admiring his work for a long time.

0:02:44.530 --> 0:02:46.510
<v Speaker 3>Manny Machado to run home run.

0:02:46.550 --> 0:02:48.109
<v Speaker 6>That is a top tier play of the game brought

0:02:48.130 --> 0:02:50.750
<v Speaker 6>to you by Arco quality top tier gas for less

0:02:51.190 --> 0:02:53.770
<v Speaker 6>as the Padres jumped out to a two, nothing lead, but,

0:02:53.790 --> 0:02:55.890
<v Speaker 6>or the Dodgers were able to get to Robbie Ray

0:02:55.970 --> 0:02:58.840
<v Speaker 6>in the fourth. They had a golden opportunity to not

0:02:58.900 --> 0:03:00.820
<v Speaker 6>only get back into the game and tie it, but

0:03:00.860 --> 0:03:04.340
<v Speaker 6>to bust it open. Teoscar Hernandez, an infield single to

0:03:04.380 --> 0:03:06.360
<v Speaker 6>start off the inning. Kyle Tucker, a single up the

0:03:06.400 --> 0:03:09.660
<v Speaker 6>middle runners on base for Andy Pius, who's singled the

0:03:09.680 --> 0:03:15.240
<v Speaker 6>center Dodgers had the bases loaded and nobody out Robbie

0:03:15.340 --> 0:03:18.440
<v Speaker 6>Ray on the robes. Max Muncy flew out to center

0:03:18.490 --> 0:03:21.230
<v Speaker 6>after a pitching change. Tommy Edmond came up, hit a

0:03:21.350 --> 0:03:25.070
<v Speaker 6>sack fly to left Teoscar handed Hernandez would score. Dodgers

0:03:25.130 --> 0:03:29.070
<v Speaker 6>on the board, two to one Mookie bets walked that

0:03:29.130 --> 0:03:33.010
<v Speaker 6>loaded the bases again with two outs for show. Hey, Oh, Tony,

0:03:33.370 --> 0:03:37.520
<v Speaker 6>who came up to bat and struck out to end

0:03:37.540 --> 0:03:40.710
<v Speaker 6>the inning. to end the threat. The Dodgers with the

0:03:40.790 --> 0:03:43.470
<v Speaker 6>bases loaded and nobody out, we're only able to get

0:03:43.690 --> 0:03:46.140
<v Speaker 6>one run across. They were down two to one in

0:03:46.160 --> 0:03:48.360
<v Speaker 6>the fifth inning and they come back out and they

0:03:48.400 --> 0:03:50.920
<v Speaker 6>get some help on a throwing air from Yamamoto run

0:03:51.020 --> 0:03:53.860
<v Speaker 6>scores Machado sack fly all of a sudden a two,

0:03:53.980 --> 0:03:57.500
<v Speaker 6>one Padre lead tuned in and a four, one Padre lead.

0:03:57.520 --> 0:04:00.710
<v Speaker 6>You go to the ninth for means singled that scored Taylor.

0:04:00.880 --> 0:04:03.590
<v Speaker 6>And that gave the Padres a five to one lead

0:04:03.650 --> 0:04:06.710
<v Speaker 6>that run scored off of Blake Trinan. As Yamamoto would

0:04:06.750 --> 0:04:09.290
<v Speaker 6>go six innings, allowed the four runs, two of which

0:04:09.330 --> 0:04:13.310
<v Speaker 6>were earned, struck out only four through 88 pitches, turned

0:04:13.350 --> 0:04:15.690
<v Speaker 6>it over to the bullpen for the final three innings.

0:04:15.740 --> 0:04:18.219
<v Speaker 3>They gave up a run in the Dodgers offense last night.

0:04:18.700 --> 0:04:21.500
<v Speaker 6>No bueno. They were one for nine with runners in

0:04:21.540 --> 0:04:25.520
<v Speaker 6>scoring position. They stranded 12. base runners last night in

0:04:25.560 --> 0:04:30.110
<v Speaker 6>a 5-1 Padres win over the Dodgers. Yamamoto loses his

0:04:30.190 --> 0:04:34.330
<v Speaker 6>final regular season outing. He falls to 14-9 on this season.

0:04:34.690 --> 0:04:38.970
<v Speaker 6>Dodgers fall on the year to 97-61. And the magic

0:04:39.029 --> 0:04:42.150
<v Speaker 6>number now remains at one as they look to clench

0:04:42.190 --> 0:04:44.660
<v Speaker 6>a bye in the wild card round. Dodgers back at

0:04:44.700 --> 0:04:49.180
<v Speaker 6>it tonight. Final regular season outing. home game of the year.

0:04:49.300 --> 0:04:51.560
<v Speaker 6>Tyler Glass now on the mound. First pitch is 7-10.

0:04:51.860 --> 0:04:53.480
<v Speaker 6>And with more, we head out to the Galpin Ford

0:04:53.520 --> 0:04:56.479
<v Speaker 6>broadcast booth as we welcome in Stephen Nelson and Rick Monday.

0:04:56.500 --> 0:04:57.870
<v Speaker 8>Guys, here we go, Tim.

0:04:57.900 --> 0:05:00.970
<v Speaker 2>It's the regular season finale here at Uniqlo Field at

0:05:00.990 --> 0:05:04.730
<v Speaker 2>Dodger Stadium and the series finale for the Dodgers and Padres,

0:05:04.770 --> 0:05:08.070
<v Speaker 2>a rubber game in this three-game set. And each team

0:05:08.710 --> 0:05:13.250
<v Speaker 2>playing for something to celebrate. The Dodgers' magic number to

0:05:13.390 --> 0:05:17.250
<v Speaker 2>lock up a first-round buy is one. And the Padres'

0:05:17.290 --> 0:05:20.790
<v Speaker 2>magic number to lock up a spot in the postseason

0:05:21.010 --> 0:05:23.409
<v Speaker 2>is one. So, Mo, what did you take away from

0:05:23.470 --> 0:05:26.380
<v Speaker 2>last night? The Padres beating the Dodgers and snapping their

0:05:26.390 --> 0:05:27.940
<v Speaker 2>11-game win streak here at home.

0:05:27.980 --> 0:05:30.640
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, for Yamamoto, it was kind of a strange outing.

0:05:30.920 --> 0:05:32.680
<v Speaker 4>He was very good to begin with and hit the

0:05:32.720 --> 0:05:35.040
<v Speaker 4>leadoff batter in the fourth inning, followed with a two-run

0:05:35.080 --> 0:05:37.380
<v Speaker 4>home run. And for the Padres, they never looked back

0:05:37.940 --> 0:05:40.600
<v Speaker 4>after that particular point. I thought the offense was very flat.

0:05:41.170 --> 0:05:43.810
<v Speaker 4>I also thought that there was a play that Andy

0:05:43.830 --> 0:05:46.100
<v Speaker 4>Paez has the strongest throwing arm in the outfield, but

0:05:46.130 --> 0:05:47.940
<v Speaker 4>I thought it was a bad decision for him to

0:05:47.980 --> 0:05:51.660
<v Speaker 4>make the throw from right center field and try and

0:05:51.680 --> 0:05:52.980
<v Speaker 4>throw the runner out at home plate.

0:05:53.000 --> 0:05:53.960
<v Speaker 1>Just little things.

0:05:53.839 --> 0:05:55.680
<v Speaker 4>I'm talking about. I'm not trying to pick on any player,

0:05:55.700 --> 0:05:57.660
<v Speaker 4>but if we're looking at things, here's the other part.

0:05:57.680 --> 0:06:00.460
<v Speaker 4>Look at the replay. It took Andy Paez, who would

0:06:00.480 --> 0:06:04.270
<v Speaker 4>have been a routine catch for Tucker in right field,

0:06:04.310 --> 0:06:06.630
<v Speaker 4>and Tucker has a strong throwing arm. And he was

0:06:06.690 --> 0:06:09.390
<v Speaker 4>in position to make the throw making two steps and

0:06:09.450 --> 0:06:11.830
<v Speaker 4>making the throw to home plate. I counted the steps.

0:06:11.910 --> 0:06:14.630
<v Speaker 4>It took eight steps for Andy Pius. Those are little

0:06:14.670 --> 0:06:16.849
<v Speaker 4>things that I think the coaching staff talks to the

0:06:16.890 --> 0:06:19.620
<v Speaker 4>players about. They look at the video. I'm saying it

0:06:19.660 --> 0:06:22.380
<v Speaker 4>from a constructive standpoint because even towards the end of

0:06:22.420 --> 0:06:25.020
<v Speaker 4>the season, we all learn a little bit about things.

0:06:25.180 --> 0:06:26.110
<v Speaker 8>No question about it.

0:06:26.360 --> 0:06:30.360
<v Speaker 2>Another thing that was a separator last night was the Dodgers–

0:06:30.880 --> 0:06:33.460
<v Speaker 2>Lack of productivity with men on base. They were three

0:06:33.500 --> 0:06:35.659
<v Speaker 2>for 20 in that regard. I believe it was one

0:06:35.720 --> 0:06:38.279
<v Speaker 2>for nine with wrist. They left a dozen guys on base.

0:06:38.300 --> 0:06:40.460
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, one for nine and left too many runners on base.

0:06:40.520 --> 0:06:43.620
<v Speaker 4>Opportunities were there, and especially when you leave in the

0:06:43.660 --> 0:06:46.460
<v Speaker 4>first six innings, nine runs. You left the bases loaded once.

0:06:46.480 --> 0:06:49.609
<v Speaker 4>You left two runners on base once on top of that.

0:06:49.900 --> 0:06:52.370
<v Speaker 4>The good news, and we start to look at different things.

0:06:53.029 --> 0:06:56.370
<v Speaker 4>The bullpen has really come into shape with this Dodger

0:06:56.390 --> 0:06:57.950
<v Speaker 4>ball club. I mean, you look at game one of

0:06:57.990 --> 0:07:03.320
<v Speaker 4>the series, eight different relievers. scoreless in the outings that

0:07:03.360 --> 0:07:05.860
<v Speaker 4>they had. There were three relievers used last night, two

0:07:05.900 --> 0:07:08.950
<v Speaker 4>of those scoreless appearances on top of it. So that's

0:07:09.010 --> 0:07:11.110
<v Speaker 4>in good shape. Now the question is going to be

0:07:11.350 --> 0:07:14.770
<v Speaker 4>for Dave Roberts, how does he position this lineup? Because

0:07:14.830 --> 0:07:18.500
<v Speaker 4>it's different tonight. Otani will bat leadoff, Mookie bats bat second.

0:07:18.560 --> 0:07:22.280
<v Speaker 4>It was flip-flop last night against the lefties, and has

0:07:22.300 --> 0:07:25.810
<v Speaker 4>Dave Roberts really kind of solidified his thoughts on what

0:07:26.010 --> 0:07:27.570
<v Speaker 4>the postseason lineup might look like.

0:07:28.190 --> 0:07:30.880
<v Speaker 2>We'll probably get into this a little bit as tonight's

0:07:30.940 --> 0:07:34.200
<v Speaker 2>game goes along because it's the last regular season game. Obviously,

0:07:34.220 --> 0:07:37.180
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers hoping to host plenty of postseason games here,

0:07:37.260 --> 0:07:39.840
<v Speaker 2>but the Dodgers are also getting ready to make a

0:07:39.860 --> 0:07:41.740
<v Speaker 2>little bit of history with the fans. A lot of

0:07:41.960 --> 0:07:45.300
<v Speaker 2>folks listening right now probably making their way up to

0:07:45.340 --> 0:07:48.860
<v Speaker 2>Dodger Stadium, and it'll be back-to-back years, Mo, hitting four

0:07:48.940 --> 0:07:50.310
<v Speaker 2>million fans through the gates here.

0:07:50.370 --> 0:07:52.310
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, that is a huge thing.

0:07:52.830 --> 0:07:58.270
<v Speaker 4>There has been a great relationship between the Dodgers organization

0:07:58.830 --> 0:08:01.430
<v Speaker 4>and the city of Los Angeles, and really the entire

0:08:01.450 --> 0:08:05.430
<v Speaker 4>Southern California area. And it goes hand-in-hand. This has been

0:08:05.510 --> 0:08:08.410
<v Speaker 4>basically a joint venture. Everything that the Dodgers do within

0:08:08.450 --> 0:08:11.770
<v Speaker 4>the communities and fields and with community affairs on top

0:08:11.810 --> 0:08:14.850
<v Speaker 4>of that, it is greatly appreciated because I know You know,

0:08:14.870 --> 0:08:16.560
<v Speaker 4>in the past as a player, when you're down there,

0:08:17.020 --> 0:08:19.130
<v Speaker 4>it's nice to be here and know that people are

0:08:19.210 --> 0:08:21.910
<v Speaker 4>interested in what you're doing as a team. And they've

0:08:21.950 --> 0:08:24.780
<v Speaker 4>got a real good chance now to go on to, well,

0:08:24.800 --> 0:08:26.640
<v Speaker 4>they're going to go to postseason play. Can they get

0:08:26.680 --> 0:08:28.140

0:09:59.220 --> 0:10:03.080
<v Speaker 6>last night. One for four on base twice, including a walk,

0:10:03.100 --> 0:10:04.920
<v Speaker 6>but he struck out in the fourth inning with the

0:10:04.960 --> 0:10:07.360
<v Speaker 6>bases loaded and the Dodgers down 2-1.

0:10:07.640 --> 0:10:08.900
<v Speaker 3>Ohtani, your rewind is.

0:10:08.840 --> 0:10:11.679
<v Speaker 6>Presented by Nikaido Shochu, the official Shochu of the Los

0:10:11.740 --> 0:10:16.750
<v Speaker 6>Angeles Dodgers. Discover Nikaido. Discover Shochu. Well, the Dodgers last

0:10:16.830 --> 0:10:20.890
<v Speaker 6>night had runners on base, lots, 12 of them stranded.

0:10:20.910 --> 0:10:23.670
<v Speaker 6>They were a one for nine with runners in scoring

0:10:23.710 --> 0:10:28.250
<v Speaker 6>position last night. Andy Pai has had an opportunity. Mookie Betts,

0:10:28.510 --> 0:10:32.390
<v Speaker 6>Max Muncy, Shohei Otani, Freddie Freeman was over to runners

0:10:32.429 --> 0:10:35.290
<v Speaker 6>in scoring position. The Dodgers had their opportunities out, hit

0:10:35.330 --> 0:10:38.470
<v Speaker 6>the Padres, but lost five to one. Will Smith batting

0:10:38.550 --> 0:10:40.730
<v Speaker 6>third in the lineup last night, one for two on

0:10:40.790 --> 0:10:41.650
<v Speaker 6>base four times.

0:10:41.690 --> 0:10:42.450
<v Speaker 8>He walked out.

0:10:42.960 --> 0:10:45.220
<v Speaker 3>Three times and afterwards talk to the.

0:10:45.200 --> 0:10:47.820
<v Speaker 10>Media with yoshi what were you seeing from him tonight

0:10:47.860 --> 0:10:50.000
<v Speaker 10>that kind of either allowed them to get to him

0:10:50.020 --> 0:10:52.079
<v Speaker 10>in different ways or just ways that we usually don't

0:10:52.100 --> 0:10:52.690
<v Speaker 10>see from him.

0:10:53.070 --> 0:10:55.630
<v Speaker 11>Yeah honestly i thought he was pretty good um you

0:10:55.650 --> 0:10:57.310
<v Speaker 11>know we had to hit by fish and homer and

0:10:57.330 --> 0:11:00.930
<v Speaker 11>then you know walk wherever and air and stuff um

0:11:00.990 --> 0:11:03.450
<v Speaker 11>yeah i thought he looked i thought he looked fine

0:11:03.890 --> 0:11:06.110
<v Speaker 11>um you know i don't know if he's got one

0:11:06.130 --> 0:11:08.679
<v Speaker 11>more start this regular season or not but uh I'm

0:11:08.740 --> 0:11:10.080
<v Speaker 11>excited for the postseason with him.

0:11:10.340 --> 0:11:11.939
<v Speaker 10>What does it do when you have a guy like

0:11:11.980 --> 0:11:15.640
<v Speaker 10>him who so consistently posts every week and is available,

0:11:15.660 --> 0:11:18.089
<v Speaker 10>and even like what we saw last year in October?

0:11:18.110 --> 0:11:19.150
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's incredible.

0:11:19.530 --> 0:11:23.050
<v Speaker 11>It's so valuable. How well he takes care of his body,

0:11:23.570 --> 0:11:26.290
<v Speaker 11>his preparation off the field, behind the scenes that you

0:11:26.330 --> 0:11:28.820
<v Speaker 11>guys don't see that I see every day. It's second

0:11:28.840 --> 0:11:30.740
<v Speaker 11>to none, and that's why he goes out there, competes

0:11:30.880 --> 0:11:32.980
<v Speaker 11>week in and week out, and can last a full season.

0:11:33.380 --> 0:11:36.040
<v Speaker 10>You personally, it seemed like you saw almost every pitch

0:11:36.100 --> 0:11:38.479
<v Speaker 10>of this game, just really long at-bats. How does that,

0:11:38.940 --> 0:11:42.530
<v Speaker 10>as you prepare yourself for October offensively, what does it

0:11:42.570 --> 0:11:44.390
<v Speaker 10>kind of say when you're seeing the ball really well,

0:11:44.630 --> 0:11:47.189
<v Speaker 10>forcing pitch accounts to get up, and ultimately getting the

0:11:47.210 --> 0:11:47.829
<v Speaker 10>results you want?

0:11:48.510 --> 0:11:51.390
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, just trying to swing the right pitches, take the

0:11:51.410 --> 0:11:54.000
<v Speaker 11>right pitches, foul good pitches off and move the ball

0:11:54.010 --> 0:11:57.020
<v Speaker 11>when I should. Yeah, just trying to take one good

0:11:57.040 --> 0:11:57.420
<v Speaker 11>at-bat at a time.

0:11:59.580 --> 0:12:02.200
<v Speaker 12>I know you don't want to look too far ahead,

0:12:02.280 --> 0:12:04.260
<v Speaker 12>but this is a team that you might see in

0:12:04.280 --> 0:12:10.239
<v Speaker 12>the postseason. I mean, is there anything to that that

0:12:10.580 --> 0:12:11.600
<v Speaker 12>affects this series?

0:12:14.380 --> 0:12:16.880
<v Speaker 11>No, we're still approaching it, trying to win ballgames. I

0:12:16.900 --> 0:12:18.660
<v Speaker 11>don't think we've clinched the bye yet, so we're still

0:12:18.679 --> 0:12:19.140
<v Speaker 11>trying to do that.

0:12:20.660 --> 0:12:23.620
<v Speaker 9>You guys have stayed really level throughout, and just by

0:12:23.660 --> 0:12:25.939
<v Speaker 9>your comments today, it seems like you guys always know

0:12:25.960 --> 0:12:27.619
<v Speaker 9>that you can be better, but always looking at the

0:12:27.720 --> 0:12:30.980
<v Speaker 9>positives as well. How does that factor into a result

0:12:31.020 --> 0:12:32.920
<v Speaker 9>like today, and how do you see that factoring in

0:12:33.460 --> 0:12:34.220
<v Speaker 9>come October?

0:12:35.520 --> 0:12:37.400
<v Speaker 11>Just one day at a time. We're not going to

0:12:37.420 --> 0:12:41.020
<v Speaker 11>win every game. We still believe in each other day

0:12:41.059 --> 0:12:43.920
<v Speaker 11>in and day out to win a ballgame and to

0:12:43.950 --> 0:12:44.750
<v Speaker 11>reach our goal of winning.

0:12:44.630 --> 0:12:47.790
<v Speaker 3>World Series again. All right, there's Will Smith after the

0:12:47.830 --> 0:12:50.310
<v Speaker 3>game last night. Again, on base four times, a walk.

0:12:50.720 --> 0:12:53.300
<v Speaker 6>Three times a single, but the Dodgers just couldn't get

0:12:53.320 --> 0:12:56.880
<v Speaker 6>those big hits collectively in a 5-1 loss. Dodgers baseball

<v Speaker 6>end of the regular season?

0:13:32.880 --> 0:13:34.230

0:14:27.880 --> 0:14:31.460
<v Speaker 6>We'll find out Dalton Russian on the IL. So September 4th,

<v Speaker 6>that's the last time he played a game with right

0:14:33.530 --> 0:14:37.650
<v Speaker 6>elbow discomfort. Sounds like he's going to be activated tomorrow

0:14:37.730 --> 0:14:39.750
<v Speaker 6>for the start of the three game series. Up in

<v Speaker 6>threw to batters two days ago out at Dodger Stadium.

0:14:49.620 --> 0:14:51.440
<v Speaker 6>Speaking of Dodger Stadium, let's head back out there as

0:14:51.460 --> 0:14:53.080
<v Speaker 6>we check in with the Dodger Skipper.

0:14:53.420 --> 0:14:53.940
<v Speaker 3>Anything else for Dave?

0:14:54.180 --> 0:14:54.900
<v Speaker 1>Dave, do you think.

0:14:55.160 --> 0:14:56.090
<v Speaker 3>Other questions for Dave?

0:14:56.160 --> 0:14:57.990
<v Speaker 1>Dave, can you just describe.

0:14:58.010 --> 0:14:59.810
<v Speaker 3>Dave, can you talk about the pressure?

0:15:00.690 --> 0:15:04.070
<v Speaker 1>In the Dugout with Dave Roberts. Brought to you by

0:15:04.110 --> 0:15:08.890
<v Speaker 1>Concordia University, Irvine's Masters in Coaching and Athletics Administration.

0:15:09.830 --> 0:15:11.250
<v Speaker 10>In other sports, you know.

0:15:11.270 --> 0:15:12.530
<v Speaker 9>One player can make a difference.

0:15:12.570 --> 0:15:16.610
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if quarterbacks.

0:15:15.250 --> 0:15:16.530
<v Speaker 7>Can, you know, make a huge difference.

0:15:16.550 --> 0:15:17.220
<v Speaker 8>NBA, same thing.

0:15:17.270 --> 0:15:21.000
<v Speaker 7>But baseball is a bigger group as well.

0:15:21.020 --> 0:15:24.340
<v Speaker 5>Just having Otani back, though, can he have that big

0:15:24.420 --> 0:15:25.240
<v Speaker 5>of an impact.

0:15:25.040 --> 0:15:27.660
<v Speaker 1>Just by having his presence in the lineup at the.

0:15:27.660 --> 0:15:30.490
<v Speaker 5>Top or second?

0:15:31.470 --> 0:15:36.620
<v Speaker 13>Yes, he can have an impact, definitely. Certainly, you know,

0:15:36.660 --> 0:15:41.060
<v Speaker 13>the biggest impact in baseball is the starting pitcher, I believe.

0:15:42.620 --> 0:15:44.860
<v Speaker 13>But as far as Shohei, what he can do in

0:15:44.880 --> 0:15:49.640
<v Speaker 13>the batter's box can certainly make that impact. And then

0:15:49.720 --> 0:15:53.270
<v Speaker 13>it goes to, you know, every time he takes the–

0:15:53.540 --> 0:15:56.810
<v Speaker 13>he can change the score when he steps in the box. And,

0:15:57.530 --> 0:16:00.880
<v Speaker 13>you know, when he's in the hole, when he's on deck–

0:16:01.630 --> 0:16:05.150
<v Speaker 13>he's always looming, and that plays into the pitcher's mind, psyche,

0:16:05.210 --> 0:16:09.630
<v Speaker 13>the manager, the pitching coach. So he certainly can make

0:16:09.670 --> 0:16:11.990
<v Speaker 13>that impact. Then it just goes to the player and,

0:16:12.890 --> 0:16:16.080
<v Speaker 13>you know, taking good at-bats, taking what an opponent gives you,

0:16:16.520 --> 0:16:19.300
<v Speaker 13>and that's when you can make the biggest impact.

0:16:19.700 --> 0:16:21.760
<v Speaker 5>What did you make of the patience that he showed

0:16:21.780 --> 0:16:23.260
<v Speaker 5>at the plate last night?

0:16:23.500 --> 0:16:24.180
<v Speaker 6>Is there anything to.

0:16:24.160 --> 0:16:24.920
<v Speaker 13>Read into how.

0:16:32.330 --> 0:16:36.130
<v Speaker 13>I hope that's a sign of things to come. I

0:16:36.190 --> 0:16:41.130
<v Speaker 13>thought even yesterday, taking the first slider from Robbie Ray

0:16:41.210 --> 0:16:45.190
<v Speaker 13>for a ball got him into a good count. Whereas

0:16:45.670 --> 0:16:50.150
<v Speaker 13>the last couple weeks, just really hair on fire swinging

0:16:50.610 --> 0:16:53.490
<v Speaker 13>and chasing you know, it's hard way to make a

0:16:53.530 --> 0:16:54.210
<v Speaker 13>living that way.

0:16:54.270 --> 0:16:54.530
<v Speaker 9>Right.

0:16:54.950 --> 0:16:58.850
<v Speaker 13>And so I thought yesterday the patients was, was, was

0:16:58.970 --> 0:17:02.359
<v Speaker 13>really good. And like I said, I hope that's, you know,

0:17:02.940 --> 0:17:03.380
<v Speaker 13>more to come.

0:17:03.840 --> 0:17:04.100
<v Speaker 1>All right.

0:17:04.119 --> 0:17:06.980

<v Speaker 3>This is the back-to-back world series champion Dodgers audio network.

<v Speaker 1>As we were saying, this is Morongo casino Dodgers on

0:18:05.150 --> 0:18:09.090
<v Speaker 1>deck on the official home of LA Dodgers baseball.

0:18:16.350 --> 0:18:19.640
<v Speaker 6>It's the Dodgers and the Padres on this Thursday night.

0:18:19.740 --> 0:18:23.260
<v Speaker 6>Final regular season home game for the Blue. Tyler Glass now.

0:18:23.540 --> 0:18:26.540
<v Speaker 6>Nick Pavetta, the pitching matchup. First pitch coming up at 7-10.

0:18:26.760 --> 0:18:29.090
<v Speaker 6>Dodgers baseball is brought to you by El Pato. Born

0:18:29.109 --> 0:18:31.750

<v Speaker 3>El Pato gourmet in a can.

0:18:40.859 --> 0:18:44.370
<v Speaker 1>Joining Tim Cates on Dodgers on deck. I accept everybody

0:18:44.420 --> 0:18:48.389
<v Speaker 1>for who they are. This is Dodger insider, David Bassett.

0:18:48.550 --> 0:18:49.030
<v Speaker 8>All right.

0:18:49.070 --> 0:18:51.369
<v Speaker 3>DV day two show.

0:18:51.410 --> 0:18:54.399
<v Speaker 6>Hey Otani back in the lineup, but he's back in

0:18:54.420 --> 0:18:55.580
<v Speaker 6>the lead off spots.

0:18:56.030 --> 0:18:58.960
<v Speaker 5>Yes, and that's something Dave Roberts told us at the

0:18:59.000 --> 0:19:03.540
<v Speaker 5>beginning of this series, exclusively in our one-on-one conversation, that

0:19:03.980 --> 0:19:07.660
<v Speaker 5>the final five handful of regular season games, he was

0:19:07.720 --> 0:19:10.720
<v Speaker 5>going to go with the matchups as far as who

0:19:10.810 --> 0:19:13.109
<v Speaker 5>is going to lead off, and tonight Nick Pavetta is

0:19:13.210 --> 0:19:16.530
<v Speaker 5>on the mound, so the left-handed hitting, Otani's leading off,

0:19:16.630 --> 0:19:19.930
<v Speaker 5>Mookie Betts is sitting second, last night Robbie Ray, that

0:19:19.970 --> 0:19:23.369
<v Speaker 5>meant Mookie Betts was leading off and Otani's.

0:19:22.910 --> 0:19:25.600
<v Speaker 8>Return, so We'll see where this goes.

0:19:25.670 --> 0:19:28.480
<v Speaker 5>I feel like he's going to keep going with this

0:19:28.660 --> 0:19:31.920
<v Speaker 5>in San Francisco, and then all bets are off for

0:19:31.960 --> 0:19:33.460
<v Speaker 5>game one of the NLDS.

0:19:33.900 --> 0:19:36.400
<v Speaker 6>David is brought to you by Ford, the official vehicle

0:19:36.420 --> 0:19:38.560
<v Speaker 6>of Major League Baseball. Ford is number one at J.D.

0:19:38.600 --> 0:19:41.629
<v Speaker 6>Power's new vehicle quality amongst mainstream brands two years in

0:19:41.670 --> 0:19:43.770
<v Speaker 6>a row, and with a built Ford Tough truck, you

0:19:43.810 --> 0:19:47.030
<v Speaker 6>get more capability. See your award-winning lineup at your Southern

0:19:47.050 --> 0:19:51.270
<v Speaker 6>California Ford dealer today. Manny Machado, certainly gets booed a

0:19:51.310 --> 0:19:54.350
<v Speaker 6>lot at Uniqlo Field at Dodger Stadium, but last night

0:19:54.390 --> 0:19:55.379
<v Speaker 6>he made some friends.

0:19:55.880 --> 0:19:56.490
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, he did.

0:19:56.560 --> 0:19:58.780
<v Speaker 5>There was a young fan, a little kid that was

0:19:58.890 --> 0:20:02.960
<v Speaker 5>screaming at Machado for his batting gloves. And as Machado

0:20:03.020 --> 0:20:05.460
<v Speaker 5>was walking to home plate, he told the kid, hey,

0:20:06.050 --> 0:20:07.989
<v Speaker 5>If I hit a home run here, you'll get my

0:20:08.050 --> 0:20:08.810
<v Speaker 5>batting gloves.

0:20:09.109 --> 0:20:09.890
<v Speaker 1>And what happened?

0:20:10.550 --> 0:20:14.530
<v Speaker 5>Manny Machado hit a two-run home run off a Yamamoto,

0:20:14.530 --> 0:20:17.859
<v Speaker 5>409 feet to straightaway center field. And that's why on

0:20:17.910 --> 0:20:20.419
<v Speaker 5>TV you saw him shout back at a fan. He

0:20:20.480 --> 0:20:23.480
<v Speaker 5>wasn't trying to talk trash.

0:20:23.160 --> 0:20:23.820
<v Speaker 8>To any fan.

0:20:23.859 --> 0:20:26.280
<v Speaker 5>He was just yelling at the kid, hey, you'll get

0:20:26.320 --> 0:20:29.710
<v Speaker 5>my batting gloves now. That's what that was all about

0:20:29.780 --> 0:20:32.800
<v Speaker 5>last night, and it seemed like Manny Machado was more

0:20:32.840 --> 0:20:35.000
<v Speaker 5>of a hero to a young fan than a villain

0:20:35.220 --> 0:20:36.020
<v Speaker 5>in a Dodger hat.

0:20:36.280 --> 0:20:38.600
<v Speaker 3>That is very cool. All right, the best matchup, D.V.,

0:20:38.640 --> 0:20:39.140
<v Speaker 3>what do you think?

0:20:39.640 --> 0:20:43.910
<v Speaker 5>Braves or Phillies, to me, are the two matchups that

0:20:44.050 --> 0:20:46.730
<v Speaker 5>favor the Dodgers. The Braves just don't have the pitching

0:20:46.790 --> 0:20:50.429
<v Speaker 5>to match the Dodgers. The Phillies lineup is very pitchable

0:20:50.990 --> 0:20:54.119
<v Speaker 5>and also would have both those teams, whoever comes out

0:20:54.140 --> 0:20:57.100
<v Speaker 5>of Atlanta. would have to spend their two best starters,

0:20:57.160 --> 0:20:59.340
<v Speaker 5>and that would put them in a tough predicament coming

0:20:59.560 --> 0:21:02.440
<v Speaker 5>all the way across the country to open up against

0:21:02.480 --> 0:21:05.040
<v Speaker 5>a well-rested Dodger team here in L.A.

0:21:05.119 --> 0:21:07.960
<v Speaker 6>Real quick, tonight, final home game of the regular season.

0:21:08.000 --> 0:21:12.800
<v Speaker 6>Another 4 million Dodger fans going through the turnstiles at

0:21:12.900 --> 0:21:14.359
<v Speaker 6>Uniqlo Field at Dodger Stadium.

0:21:14.700 --> 0:21:15.459
<v Speaker 3>It never gets old.

0:21:15.520 --> 0:21:18.320
<v Speaker 6>It's pretty impressive what, on a year-in and year-out basis,

0:21:18.400 --> 0:21:20.820
<v Speaker 6>this fan group and this Dodger nation does.

0:21:21.460 --> 0:21:23.920
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, and I think that's a testament to what the

0:21:24.180 --> 0:21:26.640
<v Speaker 5>owners have done, the team that they put on the field.

0:21:26.680 --> 0:21:29.160
<v Speaker 5>Because as you know, Tim, if you don't win, they're

0:21:29.200 --> 0:21:29.679
<v Speaker 5>not coming.

0:21:30.000 --> 0:21:30.420
<v Speaker 8>And it was.

0:21:30.359 --> 0:21:33.619
<v Speaker 5>Just 15 years ago that fans were not really coming.

0:21:33.619 --> 0:21:37.590
<v Speaker 5>16 years ago, concession stands were closed on the field level.

0:21:38.030 --> 0:21:39.070
<v Speaker 8>Fans were not coming.

0:21:39.450 --> 0:21:43.550
<v Speaker 5>And that was probably rock bottom for this organization. And

0:21:43.590 --> 0:21:46.210
<v Speaker 5>they have rose from the ashes in a big way

0:21:46.609 --> 0:21:50.230
<v Speaker 5>to be back-to-back world champions and Like Dave Roberts said,

0:21:50.270 --> 0:21:53.560
<v Speaker 5>it's not just about L.A. It's an international team now

0:21:53.600 --> 0:21:56.359
<v Speaker 5>with Japan in the mix. They get so many tourists

0:21:56.780 --> 0:22:00.220
<v Speaker 5>from Japan and other parts of Asia to come watch

0:22:00.260 --> 0:22:02.640
<v Speaker 5>Dodger games. So that's a big part of all this

0:22:02.720 --> 0:22:03.980
<v Speaker 5>and the 4 million fans.

0:22:04.080 --> 0:22:04.859
<v Speaker 3>No doubt about it.

0:22:04.880 --> 0:22:06.219
<v Speaker 6>David Graystuff, we'll check back in with you in just

0:22:06.240 --> 0:22:08.280
<v Speaker 6>a little bit. Still to come here on Morongo Casino,

<v Speaker 6>Tyler Glass now. Nick Pavetta the pitching matchup. We'll dive

0:22:39.980 --> 0:22:42.390
<v Speaker 6>deeper into the numbers coming up in just a little bit.

0:22:42.450 --> 0:22:43.419
<v Speaker 6>First pitch set for 7-10.

0:22:45.920 --> 0:22:48.590
<v Speaker 8>Hot dogs here. It's not a ball game without a

0:22:48.670 --> 0:22:49.270
<v Speaker 8>hot dog.

0:22:49.310 --> 0:22:50.910
<v Speaker 3>Who wants a hot dog?

0:22:50.950 --> 0:22:54.170
<v Speaker 1>It's time for the Hoffie Magical Moment. It's magical.

0:22:54.290 --> 0:22:55.510
<v Speaker 2>It's magical.

0:22:55.570 --> 0:22:57.520
<v Speaker 1>Presented by Hoffie Hot Dogs.

0:22:57.780 --> 0:23:03.840
<v Speaker 6>Well, we go back to September 24th, 2014, the 12-year

0:23:03.980 --> 0:23:09.020
<v Speaker 6>anniversary in which the Dodgers defeated the San Francisco Giants,

0:23:09.100 --> 0:23:12.730
<v Speaker 6>giving the Dodgers their second straight NL West crown.

0:23:13.210 --> 0:23:13.850
<v Speaker 8>Wilson's set.

0:23:14.570 --> 0:23:17.070
<v Speaker 7>The 1-1 to the left-handed hit in Blanco, ground ball

0:23:17.150 --> 0:23:20.820
<v Speaker 7>right side, Barney diving stop, throws him out, and the

0:23:20.920 --> 0:23:25.220
<v Speaker 7>Dodgers have won the National League Western Division title. It

0:23:25.300 --> 0:23:30.010
<v Speaker 7>began six months, two days, and 10,000 miles ago. when

0:23:30.090 --> 0:23:34.389
<v Speaker 7>Clayton Kershaw won his first game. Tonight, the Dodgers win

0:23:34.450 --> 0:23:35.449
<v Speaker 7>their 91st.

0:23:35.880 --> 0:23:38.159
<v Speaker 8>Clayton Kershaw wins his 21st.

0:23:38.600 --> 0:23:42.280
<v Speaker 7>And the Dodgers have won their second consecutive National League

0:23:42.400 --> 0:23:47.850
<v Speaker 7>Western Division title. They rout the Giants tonight, 9-1. Fireworks

0:23:47.940 --> 0:23:50.449
<v Speaker 7>exploding out beyond the center field wall.

0:23:50.770 --> 0:23:53.990
<v Speaker 8>The Dodgers all over themselves in the middle of the infield.

0:23:54.390 --> 0:23:56.190
<v Speaker 8>Let the bubble machine begin.

0:23:57.170 --> 0:24:01.180

0:24:01.240 --> 0:24:05.300
<v Speaker 6>to win the division 9-1. Second straight NL West title

0:24:05.340 --> 0:24:08.970
<v Speaker 6>for the Dodgers. However, that year in 2014, the Dodgers

0:24:09.010 --> 0:24:10.170
<v Speaker 6>would fall to the St.

0:24:10.210 --> 0:24:13.450
<v Speaker 3>Louis Cardinals in the NLDS. And the team from up north.

0:24:14.380 --> 0:24:15.649

0:25:02.640 --> 0:25:03.880
<v Speaker 3>We welcome in Charlie Steiner.

0:25:04.310 --> 0:25:06.629
<v Speaker 7>All right, Tim, the Dodgers and the rest of major

0:25:06.670 --> 0:25:10.130
<v Speaker 7>league baseball. The magic number is four, four games left

0:25:10.190 --> 0:25:13.530
<v Speaker 7>in the regular season. And then the post season begins today.

0:25:14.020 --> 0:25:18.590
<v Speaker 7>And tonight, Mo, both teams, Dodgers and the Padres, have

0:25:18.650 --> 0:25:19.770
<v Speaker 7>quite a bit riding on the.

0:25:19.790 --> 0:25:20.949
<v Speaker 8>Outcome of this game.

0:25:21.450 --> 0:25:24.330
<v Speaker 7>The Dodgers, with a win, clinched their first round by

0:25:24.590 --> 0:25:27.950
<v Speaker 7>magic numbers one. The Padres, with a win, clinched a

0:25:27.990 --> 0:25:32.199
<v Speaker 7>playoff berth for a team record three consecutive seasons. And

0:25:32.280 --> 0:25:35.199
<v Speaker 7>coming into this game, looking back really since about the

0:25:35.280 --> 0:25:38.380
<v Speaker 7>middle of July, you look at their comparative records, they're

0:25:38.400 --> 0:25:39.300
<v Speaker 7>about the same.

0:25:40.109 --> 0:25:40.690
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, they are.

0:25:40.869 --> 0:25:43.639
<v Speaker 4>And for San Diego, victorious in last night's ballgame. The

0:25:43.660 --> 0:25:47.580
<v Speaker 4>Dodgers did not have a great offensive evening or defense

0:25:47.640 --> 0:25:50.080
<v Speaker 4>either for that matter. But, you know, you're not going

0:25:50.100 --> 0:25:51.560
<v Speaker 4>to win a lot of ballgames when you're leaving a

0:25:51.619 --> 0:25:54.000
<v Speaker 4>dozen runners on base. You're one for nine with runners

0:25:54.040 --> 0:25:54.820
<v Speaker 4>in scoring position.

0:25:54.859 --> 0:25:55.600
<v Speaker 8>I agree with you.

0:25:55.660 --> 0:25:59.990
<v Speaker 4>This could be a huge step for the Padres. Also

0:26:00.070 --> 0:26:02.909
<v Speaker 4>considering the fact, as I found out last night, is

0:26:02.950 --> 0:26:06.659
<v Speaker 4>that their new ownership was also present last night. to

0:26:06.700 --> 0:26:08.740
<v Speaker 4>see that victory, and they would like to be able

0:26:08.780 --> 0:26:12.480
<v Speaker 4>to celebrate very, very quickly and maybe do that tonight.

0:26:12.510 --> 0:26:14.889
<v Speaker 4>It has been a long time. If you look at

0:26:14.930 --> 0:26:17.810
<v Speaker 4>what the San Diego Padres have done as far as

0:26:17.850 --> 0:26:22.170
<v Speaker 4>the postseason, they're seeking their fifth playoff appearance since 2020,

0:26:22.170 --> 0:26:24.550
<v Speaker 4>but it could be a big feather in their cap

0:26:24.590 --> 0:26:26.950
<v Speaker 4>to do it, I think, here against this ball club,

0:26:26.990 --> 0:26:28.930
<v Speaker 4>the back-to-back defending world champions.

0:26:29.410 --> 0:26:33.250
<v Speaker 7>Dating back to the 24th of July, the Padres have

0:26:33.490 --> 0:26:37.369
<v Speaker 7>gone 38-17 with a 28-9 record against.

0:26:37.170 --> 0:26:38.510
<v Speaker 8>Teams with losing records.

0:26:38.930 --> 0:26:44.550
<v Speaker 7>The Dodgers have gone 32-23 with a 29-8 record against

0:26:44.630 --> 0:26:47.300
<v Speaker 7>losing teams. So the Dodgers, of course, to the big

0:26:47.359 --> 0:26:49.720
<v Speaker 7>start the first half of the season, had plenty of

0:26:49.800 --> 0:26:54.119
<v Speaker 7>cushion down the stretch. And here are the Padres getting

0:26:54.180 --> 0:26:57.139
<v Speaker 7>hot at the right time, And tonight, it's going to

0:26:57.180 --> 0:26:59.980
<v Speaker 7>be Nick Pavetta. He's got the bad elbow. He's finally

0:27:00.020 --> 0:27:04.140
<v Speaker 7>coming back. And Tyler Glasnow with the gimpy back. He

0:27:04.200 --> 0:27:05.300
<v Speaker 7>goes for the Dodgers.

0:27:05.420 --> 0:27:08.020
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, and for Pavetta, you know, in September, he's made

0:27:08.140 --> 0:27:12.480
<v Speaker 4>three starts this month. And he has been really a

0:27:12.530 --> 0:27:14.830
<v Speaker 4>guy that's shown that he's healthy and off that injury

0:27:14.850 --> 0:27:17.270
<v Speaker 4>list you're talking about. In those three starts, his ERA

0:27:17.290 --> 0:27:21.270
<v Speaker 4>is under two. And they're expecting a good procedure from

0:27:21.330 --> 0:27:24.790
<v Speaker 4>him tonight. And for Tyler Glasnow, has not been really

0:27:25.430 --> 0:27:27.570
<v Speaker 4>Wide on the ball, the last three starts, also in

0:27:27.590 --> 0:27:30.780
<v Speaker 4>the month of September, where his ERA is over 5.5.

0:27:30.780 --> 0:27:34.480
<v Speaker 7>Let's look back on a couple of the fellows last night. Otani,

0:27:34.580 --> 0:27:38.420
<v Speaker 7>his first game back. What did you see? What were

0:27:38.460 --> 0:27:41.560
<v Speaker 7>you looking for? What do you suppose Dave Roberts was

0:27:41.619 --> 0:27:44.020
<v Speaker 7>looking for? How he went about his business?

0:27:44.760 --> 0:27:45.290
<v Speaker 8>What did you think?

0:27:45.369 --> 0:27:47.730
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, first of all, I'll go with Dave Roberts because

0:27:47.770 --> 0:27:51.369
<v Speaker 4>he was asked that question a little bit earlier today.

0:27:51.430 --> 0:27:54.619
<v Speaker 4>He's the first at bat that Otani had. And if

0:27:54.680 --> 0:27:57.910
<v Speaker 4>against the left-hander, Robbie Ray. He said when Otani took

0:27:57.950 --> 0:28:00.389
<v Speaker 4>the first pitch, a slider that was really close to

0:28:00.430 --> 0:28:01.450
<v Speaker 4>being a strike was.

0:28:01.369 --> 0:28:02.470
<v Speaker 8>Not, he did not offer.

0:28:03.470 --> 0:28:06.149
<v Speaker 4>Dave said, look, I felt so much better about it. Well,

0:28:06.170 --> 0:28:08.139
<v Speaker 4>he wound up getting a base hit on a slider

0:28:08.180 --> 0:28:10.740
<v Speaker 4>on a 2-0 pitch in that very first at-bat. What

0:28:10.840 --> 0:28:12.500
<v Speaker 4>I was looking for, as you and I were talking

0:28:12.540 --> 0:28:15.680
<v Speaker 4>before the ballgame last night, consistency of the swing. A,

0:28:15.900 --> 0:28:19.220
<v Speaker 4>not chasing pitches out of the strike zone. And B,

0:28:19.550 --> 0:28:22.090
<v Speaker 4>are we going to see, which we did in my opinion,

0:28:22.310 --> 0:28:25.160
<v Speaker 4>a much better swing, more controlled swing than we saw

0:28:25.220 --> 0:28:27.720
<v Speaker 4>when he was banged up and even wincing when he

0:28:27.760 --> 0:28:29.570
<v Speaker 4>was swinging the bat. So I took that as a

0:28:29.590 --> 0:28:32.080
<v Speaker 4>strong point. And tonight's going to be Otani in the

0:28:32.160 --> 0:28:35.399
<v Speaker 4>leadoff spot. He and Mookie Betts will switch spots in

0:28:35.440 --> 0:28:37.620
<v Speaker 4>the order from what they had last night.

0:28:38.020 --> 0:28:42.020
<v Speaker 7>Yamamoto, what was your sense? We were talking about it. Again,

0:28:42.060 --> 0:28:45.530
<v Speaker 7>he's one of those guys, he's so incredibly consistent. But

0:28:45.610 --> 0:28:48.650
<v Speaker 7>last night, it felt like oftentimes he was sprinting up

0:28:48.710 --> 0:28:49.310
<v Speaker 7>a sand dune.

0:28:49.470 --> 0:28:52.770
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, infield single, the first batter that he faced. And

0:28:52.810 --> 0:28:55.910
<v Speaker 4>then he was fine after that point until he hit

0:28:55.950 --> 0:28:58.410
<v Speaker 4>the first batter in the fourth inning, the leadoff hitter.

0:28:58.820 --> 0:29:02.160
<v Speaker 4>Then the two-run home run. And after that point, you know,

0:29:02.180 --> 0:29:03.740
<v Speaker 4>the other thing that you and I talked about is

0:29:03.760 --> 0:29:07.400
<v Speaker 4>that we very seldom see Otani make that Yamamoto in

0:29:07.440 --> 0:29:10.459
<v Speaker 4>a hurry-up situation. And it was just thereafter in that

0:29:10.530 --> 0:29:14.290
<v Speaker 4>fifth inning, a very costly throwing error when he held

0:29:15.070 --> 0:29:17.330
<v Speaker 4>a chance to get the runner at third base and

0:29:17.470 --> 0:29:20.110
<v Speaker 4>just threw the ball away. So that was uncharacteristic of him.

0:29:20.550 --> 0:29:22.830
<v Speaker 4>Not the sharpest of starts. And I think that now

0:29:23.650 --> 0:29:25.510
<v Speaker 4>it plays a little bit into the last couple of.

0:29:25.490 --> 0:29:26.870
<v Speaker 8>Starts that we've seen from the right-handers.

0:29:27.270 --> 0:29:30.160
<v Speaker 7>In the win for San Diego last night, the turning

0:29:30.220 --> 0:29:32.000
<v Speaker 7>point may have come in the fourth inning.

0:29:32.400 --> 0:29:34.580
<v Speaker 8>On the ABS challenge.

0:29:34.400 --> 0:29:38.390
<v Speaker 7>By Ethan Salas, Otani thought he had ball four.

0:29:38.490 --> 0:29:41.610
<v Speaker 8>Turns out he didn't, Otani. would eventually strike out.

0:29:42.150 --> 0:29:44.410
<v Speaker 7>And so the Dodgers, cost of a run because they

0:29:44.430 --> 0:29:45.910
<v Speaker 7>had the bases loaded at the time.

0:29:45.990 --> 0:29:48.480
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, and that's following the third inning where they left

0:29:48.540 --> 0:29:50.620
<v Speaker 4>two runners on base. They left one in the first,

0:29:50.800 --> 0:29:53.040
<v Speaker 4>one in the second, two in the third, three in

0:29:53.080 --> 0:29:57.460
<v Speaker 4>the fourth, one in the fifth. In fact, every inning,

0:29:57.520 --> 0:30:00.860
<v Speaker 4>including the ninth, The Dodgers stranded at least one runner

0:30:00.880 --> 0:30:01.680
<v Speaker 4>in last night's game.

0:30:02.000 --> 0:30:04.540
<v Speaker 7>A frustrating night to be sure, but the Dodgers can

0:30:04.980 --> 0:30:07.700
<v Speaker 7>make it all right tonight. With a win, they have

0:30:08.340 --> 0:30:12.200
<v Speaker 7>clinched the first round by. Something they've been working toward

0:30:12.590 --> 0:30:16.890

0:32:58.990 --> 0:33:03.330
<v Speaker 14>anybody that you pencil on that paper when they pass

0:33:03.370 --> 0:33:06.210
<v Speaker 14>it around, you will be okay voting for anybody in

0:33:06.230 --> 0:33:08.440
<v Speaker 14>that clubhouse. And I'm really happy that I got the

0:33:08.480 --> 0:33:09.140
<v Speaker 14>opportunity to be.

0:33:11.190 --> 0:33:14.130
<v Speaker 14>Recognized by that award for the third time in a row.

0:33:14.900 --> 0:33:16.960
<v Speaker 5>How much does it mean to you to know that

0:33:17.220 --> 0:33:21.420
<v Speaker 5>other younger players have experienced Miguel Rojas and your leadership

0:33:21.480 --> 0:33:24.860
<v Speaker 5>and your care for others, and that part of your

0:33:24.920 --> 0:33:27.670
<v Speaker 5>career will live on through other young players?

0:33:27.710 --> 0:33:30.870
<v Speaker 14>That's what I always hope for. I hope for leaving

0:33:30.890 --> 0:33:33.270
<v Speaker 14>this game in a better place than when I get them.

0:33:34.250 --> 0:33:35.970
<v Speaker 14>I feel like when I got here, I got so

0:33:35.990 --> 0:33:38.950
<v Speaker 14>many people that helped me. become the player and the

0:33:38.990 --> 0:33:40.850
<v Speaker 14>person that I am right now. And that's why I

0:33:41.110 --> 0:33:44.530
<v Speaker 14>feel so grateful for the opportunity to put this uniform

0:33:44.630 --> 0:33:48.230
<v Speaker 14>on and not just perform on the field, but being

0:33:48.580 --> 0:33:50.719
<v Speaker 14>a person that they can look up to off the

0:33:50.740 --> 0:33:54.000
<v Speaker 14>field as well. I want them to know that they

0:33:54.020 --> 0:33:57.100
<v Speaker 14>always have their back from me. And that's something that

0:33:57.140 --> 0:34:00.220
<v Speaker 14>is really special because, like I said, this is family

0:34:00.240 --> 0:34:02.540
<v Speaker 14>to me. This is what I spend the majority of

0:34:02.580 --> 0:34:06.280
<v Speaker 14>my time on on a daily basis, on a yearly basis.

0:34:06.820 --> 0:34:08.839
<v Speaker 14>and it's been really special to me and I feel

0:34:08.890 --> 0:34:11.250
<v Speaker 14>like these last four years of my life have been

0:34:11.290 --> 0:34:14.729
<v Speaker 14>something that I think not even in my wildest dream

0:34:15.090 --> 0:34:16.810
<v Speaker 14>I could have dreamed of something better than this.

0:34:17.150 --> 0:34:20.290
<v Speaker 5>Miggy Rowe will never be forgotten in Major League Baseball history,

0:34:20.330 --> 0:34:23.200
<v Speaker 5>Dodger history, and of course by this fan base and

0:34:23.239 --> 0:34:25.620
<v Speaker 5>his teammates. We're getting closer to the end of the

0:34:25.680 --> 0:34:28.420
<v Speaker 5>regular season. You guys are getting closer to that bye.

0:34:28.880 --> 0:34:31.359
<v Speaker 5>Do you feel like you're already making plans on how

0:34:31.400 --> 0:34:33.830
<v Speaker 5>you guys are going to come together If you have

0:34:33.870 --> 0:34:36.129
<v Speaker 5>those five days, it seems like it's not an if,

0:34:36.210 --> 0:34:38.910
<v Speaker 5>but when. But in the past, you guys have really

0:34:38.950 --> 0:34:40.450
<v Speaker 5>come together on those five days.

0:34:40.969 --> 0:34:43.390
<v Speaker 14>Well, the most important part right now is kind of

0:34:43.690 --> 0:34:47.160
<v Speaker 14>like finish the season strong. You know, staying with the

0:34:47.180 --> 0:34:49.120
<v Speaker 14>foot on the gas pedal. I think it's really important

0:34:49.140 --> 0:34:51.379
<v Speaker 14>for us to keep playing hard. these last five games

0:34:51.400 --> 0:34:53.920
<v Speaker 14>of the season. Obviously, we're looking forward to win one

0:34:53.960 --> 0:34:57.180
<v Speaker 14>more so we can for sure get the bye. After that,

0:34:57.219 --> 0:35:00.640
<v Speaker 14>I think we've done a really good job committing to

0:35:01.450 --> 0:35:04.450
<v Speaker 14>one another, to play for each other, to play for

0:35:04.469 --> 0:35:07.629
<v Speaker 14>the next guy, and to actually have a full month

0:35:07.670 --> 0:35:08.569
<v Speaker 14>of baseball. We always.

0:35:10.300 --> 0:35:14.180
<v Speaker 14>Go through the 162 games. We take days off. Sometimes

0:35:14.200 --> 0:35:17.580
<v Speaker 14>we don't hit BP. We don't take a full batting practice,

0:35:17.620 --> 0:35:20.500
<v Speaker 14>a full infield routine. But when it comes to October,

0:35:20.520 --> 0:35:22.779
<v Speaker 14>I think we got a pretty good understanding of what

0:35:22.840 --> 0:35:25.049
<v Speaker 14>it takes to win it all, you know, and to

0:35:25.090 --> 0:35:27.529
<v Speaker 14>stay engaged and to stay in the moment. So I

0:35:27.570 --> 0:35:30.890
<v Speaker 14>feel like it's really important for us to continue what

0:35:30.910 --> 0:35:33.830
<v Speaker 14>we did the last couple of years. And obviously in 2024,

0:35:33.830 --> 0:35:35.690
<v Speaker 14>we play with the bye. And we did a pretty

0:35:35.710 --> 0:35:39.480
<v Speaker 14>good job of staying in shape, staying baseball ready, coming here,

0:35:39.780 --> 0:35:42.980
<v Speaker 14>using all the things that we have in the clubhouse,

0:35:43.000 --> 0:35:46.840
<v Speaker 14>the trajectory, using the coaches, using the pitchings, the pitchers

0:35:46.860 --> 0:35:48.620
<v Speaker 14>that they're going to be throwing like VP. So I

0:35:48.640 --> 0:35:51.230
<v Speaker 14>think we are in a pretty good place knowing that

0:35:51.290 --> 0:35:53.190
<v Speaker 14>we've done it before and we're going to be ready

0:35:53.230 --> 0:35:54.969
<v Speaker 14>to go whenever that first game is.

0:35:55.230 --> 0:35:56.170
<v Speaker 8>Last question for you.

0:35:56.560 --> 0:35:59.260
<v Speaker 5>Do you feel like this team's not getting enough credit

0:35:59.320 --> 0:36:02.140
<v Speaker 5>for knowing how to win? It's one thing to be experienced,

0:36:02.180 --> 0:36:04.560
<v Speaker 5>but you guys are experienced in winning championships.

0:36:04.920 --> 0:36:07.489
<v Speaker 14>Yeah, I mean, that's what we did the last couple years,

0:36:07.510 --> 0:36:09.670
<v Speaker 14>you know, and you always have to respect that. But

0:36:09.710 --> 0:36:13.750
<v Speaker 14>at the same time, the experience, the talent, or anything,

0:36:13.790 --> 0:36:16.730
<v Speaker 14>the money, whatever, that's not going to guarantee you wins,

0:36:16.830 --> 0:36:19.739
<v Speaker 14>you know? And there's not going to guarantee you're going

0:36:19.760 --> 0:36:21.799
<v Speaker 14>to win awards here just because you have the best

0:36:21.840 --> 0:36:24.900
<v Speaker 14>team out there. I feel like everybody's searching and looking

0:36:24.920 --> 0:36:27.640
<v Speaker 14>for the same thing. So the crown is the ultimate goal,

0:36:27.800 --> 0:36:31.340
<v Speaker 14>winning the last game of the season. And everybody, anybody

0:36:31.380 --> 0:36:33.840
<v Speaker 14>who can get hot and play really good baseball in

0:36:33.920 --> 0:36:36.470
<v Speaker 14>October have a chance to win 11 games. We have

0:36:36.489 --> 0:36:38.950
<v Speaker 14>done it a couple times in the last couple years,

0:36:39.370 --> 0:36:41.390
<v Speaker 14>and then we're looking forward to do it again. But

0:36:41.750 --> 0:36:43.370
<v Speaker 14>it's going to take a lot of sacrifice, a lot

0:36:43.430 --> 0:36:45.770
<v Speaker 14>of effort, talent, and we're going to have to win

0:36:45.790 --> 0:36:48.549
<v Speaker 14>moments and be able to use all the experience in

0:36:48.610 --> 0:36:51.230
<v Speaker 14>our favor because I know all the other teams that

0:36:51.270 --> 0:36:53.029
<v Speaker 14>I get in, they're going to look for the same thing.

0:36:53.450 --> 0:36:57.530
<v Speaker 5>Well, Miguel Rojas knows all about winning. Back-to-back World Series champion,

0:36:57.570 --> 0:37:00.969
<v Speaker 5>World Series hero, and certainly the heart and soul of

0:37:01.010 --> 0:37:03.710
<v Speaker 5>this team. And his teammates recognized him with that Roy

0:37:03.730 --> 0:37:05.790
<v Speaker 5>Campanella Award for the third straight year.

0:37:06.250 --> 0:37:06.850
<v Speaker 8>Thank you, Miggy.

0:37:07.190 --> 0:37:08.290
<v Speaker 5>All the love from L.A.

0:37:08.310 --> 0:37:08.649
<v Speaker 8>To you.

0:37:09.030 --> 0:37:10.330
<v Speaker 14>Thank you very much, and I want to say thank

0:37:10.370 --> 0:37:12.109
<v Speaker 14>you to all the fans and all the people that

0:37:12.150 --> 0:37:17.490
<v Speaker 14>have been following my career. If this is it, I'm

0:37:17.510 --> 0:37:20.560
<v Speaker 14>really proud, and I'm going with a smile on my

0:37:20.600 --> 0:37:22.860
<v Speaker 14>face because it was a great journey.

0:37:23.260 --> 0:37:26.640
<v Speaker 5>I'm feeling like it's not. Far from over, Miguel Rojas.

0:37:26.680 --> 0:37:27.600
<v Speaker 5>We'll send it back to you.

0:37:27.620 --> 0:37:29.120
<v Speaker 3>All right, thanks a lot, DV.

0:37:29.160 --> 0:37:31.480
<v Speaker 6>Miguel Rojas, one of the good guys, and hopefully can

0:37:31.520 --> 0:37:34.030
<v Speaker 6>send him out if this, in fact, is his final

0:37:34.090 --> 0:37:36.089
<v Speaker 6>season on a winning note.

0:37:36.110 --> 0:37:38.060
<v Speaker 3>It was leading you up to first pitch, Dodgers and Giants.

0:37:39.719 --> 0:37:42.400
<v Speaker 6>Coming up this weekend, Dodgers and Padres wrapping up this

0:37:42.440 --> 0:37:43.380
<v Speaker 6>three-game series.

0:37:43.420 --> 0:37:46.379
<v Speaker 3>Looking ahead, yeah, big weekend up in San Francisco.

0:37:46.739 --> 0:37:48.920
<v Speaker 6>Dodgers need to take care of business tonight, though, and

0:37:48.960 --> 0:37:50.880
<v Speaker 6>clinch a buy in the wild card roundup. Next, we'll

0:37:50.920 --> 0:37:52.560
<v Speaker 6>dive deeper into this pitching matchup. Don't you go anywhere.

0:37:52.840 --> 0:37:54.540
<v Speaker 3>I'm Tim Cates. This is the back-to-back World Series champion,

0:37:54.580 --> 0:37:55.680
<v Speaker 3>Dodgers Audio Network.

0:37:57.219 --> 0:38:00.109
<v Speaker 1>This is Morongo Casino. Dodgers on deck.

0:38:00.130 --> 0:38:00.620
<v Speaker 3>What a home run!

0:38:02.800 --> 0:38:05.400
<v Speaker 1>On your home for the blue all season long.

0:38:06.300 --> 0:38:08.640
<v Speaker 3>It's the Dodgers and the Padres.

0:38:08.780 --> 0:38:11.440
<v Speaker 6>One final time from Uniqlo Field at Dodger Stadium. First

0:38:11.460 --> 0:38:12.460
<v Speaker 6>pitch coming up at 7-10.

0:38:13.000 --> 0:38:16.529
<v Speaker 1>And now, before the Dodgers hit the diamond, we look

0:38:16.570 --> 0:38:17.890
<v Speaker 1>at the pitching matchup.

0:38:17.950 --> 0:38:20.430
<v Speaker 6>Brought to you by your Toyota dealers, we make it easy.

0:38:20.510 --> 0:38:24.560
<v Speaker 6>Nick Pavetta on the mound, 3-2, 3-30 ERA. 33-year-old right-hander,

0:38:24.600 --> 0:38:28.620
<v Speaker 6>10th season in the big league, second with the Padres. Fastball, curveball, cutter, sweeper,

0:38:28.660 --> 0:38:31.460
<v Speaker 6>making his eighth start this year. His fourth since coming

0:38:31.480 --> 0:38:33.290
<v Speaker 6>off the IEL, where he missed five months with a

0:38:33.370 --> 0:38:34.669
<v Speaker 6>right elbow flexor strain.

0:38:35.130 --> 0:38:36.190
<v Speaker 3>In the three starts.

0:38:35.930 --> 0:38:38.710
<v Speaker 6>Since coming back, he's 2-0 with a 193 ERA and

0:38:38.750 --> 0:38:43.290
<v Speaker 6>seven career starts against the Dodgers. Nick Pavetta is 1-1 with.

0:38:42.870 --> 0:38:46.210
<v Speaker 3>A 280 ERA. Tyler Glass now on the mound.

0:38:46.230 --> 0:38:50.489
<v Speaker 6>5-1, 346 ERA, 33-year-old right-hander in his third season with

0:38:50.530 --> 0:38:53.489
<v Speaker 6>the Dodgers, making his 13th start as he spent time

0:38:53.530 --> 0:38:56.419
<v Speaker 6>on the IL as well as Nick Pavetta. Since coming

0:38:56.460 --> 0:38:58.500
<v Speaker 6>off the injured list on August 25th, he has made

0:38:58.540 --> 0:39:01.980
<v Speaker 6>five starts, 2-1 with a 450 ERA. Opponents hitting just

0:39:01.980 --> 0:39:05.810
<v Speaker 6>178 against Snell today. and Glass now this year. Last

0:39:05.850 --> 0:39:08.649
<v Speaker 6>Friday against the Giants, the big right-hander picked up the win,

0:39:08.690 --> 0:39:11.089
<v Speaker 6>allowing two runs on three hits over six innings while

0:39:11.130 --> 0:39:13.919
<v Speaker 6>striking out a season-high 10 in eight career games, five

0:39:13.940 --> 0:39:17.560
<v Speaker 6>starts against the Padres. Glass now is 0-1 with a.

0:39:17.500 --> 0:39:20.980
<v Speaker 6>327 ERA and 38 strikeouts. He last faced them last

0:39:21.160 --> 0:39:24.990
<v Speaker 6>August at Petco Park. Keeping an eye on what's happened

0:39:25.550 --> 0:39:28.270
<v Speaker 6>in Atlanta and the Reds. Runner on third, two outs.

0:39:29.469 --> 0:39:31.600
<v Speaker 6>Braves down to their last out. A Braves loss, and

0:39:31.620 --> 0:39:33.600
<v Speaker 6>the Dodgers would clinch a wild card.

0:39:33.440 --> 0:39:34.700
<v Speaker 3>Round before first pitch.

0:39:34.739 --> 0:39:37.180
<v Speaker 6>We'll keep you updated and tell you what's happening when

0:39:37.200 --> 0:39:37.859
<v Speaker 6>we come back.

0:39:38.969 --> 0:39:41.770
<v Speaker 3>Dodgers Padres. I'm Tim Cates. This is the back-to-back World

0:39:41.790 --> 0:39:43.250
<v Speaker 3>Series champion Dodgers Audio Network.

0:39:45.750 --> 0:39:50.960
<v Speaker 1>This is Morongo Casino Dodgers on tape. On your home

0:39:51.020 --> 0:39:52.920
<v Speaker 1>for L.A. Dodgers baseball.

0:39:53.739 --> 0:39:57.279
<v Speaker 6>Dodgers and the Padres. Tyler Glass now, Nick Pavetta, the

0:39:57.300 --> 0:40:01.040
<v Speaker 6>pitching matchup. First pitch coming up at 7-10. The Dodgers'

0:40:01.100 --> 0:40:04.489
<v Speaker 6>magic number was one. A combination of a Dodger win

0:40:04.530 --> 0:40:07.110
<v Speaker 6>or a Braves loss, and the Dodgers will clinch a

0:40:07.850 --> 0:40:12.089
<v Speaker 6>wild card bye next week and go right to the NLDS.

0:40:12.230 --> 0:40:19.420
<v Speaker 6>It is a final in Atlanta. Reds beat the Braves 7-6.

0:40:19.480 --> 0:40:22.720
<v Speaker 6>The Braves had the tying run 90 feet away.

0:40:23.120 --> 0:40:25.480
<v Speaker 3>Ustrymski, though, flew out to right center field.

0:40:25.500 --> 0:40:29.100
<v Speaker 6>They almost bobbled the final out, but the Reds win 7-6,

0:40:29.140 --> 0:40:33.760
<v Speaker 6>so the Dodgers have clinched a bye in the wildcard round.

0:40:33.800 --> 0:40:36.279
<v Speaker 6>That is big for the boys and blues. We get

0:40:36.300 --> 0:40:37.340
<v Speaker 6>you ready for the start of the game with the

0:40:37.360 --> 0:40:39.620
<v Speaker 6>Sapporo start. Great moment to start with your Sapporo beer,

0:40:39.860 --> 0:40:42.050
<v Speaker 6>whatever your taste preference. Sapporo has you covered with a

0:40:42.070 --> 0:40:45.709
<v Speaker 6>variety of crisp and refreshing lagers, including light and non-alcoholic beers.

0:40:46.010 --> 0:40:48.350
<v Speaker 3>Sapporo, good with sushi, great with baseball.

0:40:48.370 --> 0:40:50.490
<v Speaker 8>Stephen, Rick, guys. Thank you, TC.

0:40:50.530 --> 0:40:53.669
<v Speaker 2>Tyler Glassnow getting ready to lead the Dodgers out here

0:40:53.870 --> 0:40:56.880
<v Speaker 2>and kick off this rubber game against the San Diego Padres.

0:40:56.900 --> 0:40:59.500
<v Speaker 2>It'll be Nick Pavetta starting on the other side for

0:40:59.540 --> 0:41:02.660
<v Speaker 2>the Friars. Mo, give us a key for tonight's game.

0:41:02.700 --> 0:41:04.880
<v Speaker 4>Well, I think with Pavetta, first of all, from an

0:41:04.920 --> 0:41:08.050
<v Speaker 4>offensive standpoint, the Dodgers, I didn't think, had bad approaches

0:41:08.090 --> 0:41:10.730
<v Speaker 4>last night, but they need better approaches tonight. Pavetta's been

0:41:10.770 --> 0:41:12.690
<v Speaker 4>on a roll. You start to look at what he's

0:41:12.710 --> 0:41:15.710
<v Speaker 4>been able to do In recent times, the last three

0:41:15.770 --> 0:41:19.980
<v Speaker 4>starts in September, he's 2-0 with an ERA of under 2.

0:41:19.980 --> 0:41:22.880
<v Speaker 4>The Dodgers have seen him before. Seven different starts in

0:41:22.920 --> 0:41:25.819
<v Speaker 4>his career plus one relief appearance and an ERA just

0:41:25.900 --> 0:41:28.940
<v Speaker 4>over 3.5. And for Tyler Glasnow, hoping he can rebound.

0:41:29.320 --> 0:41:33.590
<v Speaker 4>You know, career against the Padres, Glasnow has made five starts,

0:41:33.650 --> 0:41:36.609
<v Speaker 4>three relief appearances. And while his record is just 0-1,

0:41:36.989 --> 0:41:40.569
<v Speaker 4>ERA is around 3.25. But he needs to rebound from

0:41:40.610 --> 0:41:41.270
<v Speaker 4>his last outing.

0:41:41.770 --> 0:41:44.469
<v Speaker 2>One more regular season game here at Blue Heaven.

0:41:44.510 --> 0:41:45.069
<v Speaker 3>Tim, back to you.

0:41:45.350 --> 0:41:45.710
<v Speaker 1>All right.

0:41:45.770 --> 0:41:48.750
<v Speaker 6>Again, the Dodgers will have a bye in the wildcard round.

0:41:48.790 --> 0:41:52.030
<v Speaker 6>The Braves have lost, so the Dodgers postseason will start

0:41:52.090 --> 0:41:56.239
<v Speaker 6>in the NLDS on October 3rd. Well, the Dodgers got

0:41:56.260 --> 0:41:59.140
<v Speaker 6>business to take care of tonight. First pitch when we return.

0:41:59.440 --> 0:42:01.239
<v Speaker 6>This has been Morocco Casino Dodgers on deck on your

0:42:01.260 --> 0:42:03.219
