Well, 0:01:33.640 --> 0:01:37.080 last night, a good old fashioned pitchers duel turned into 0:01:37.160 --> 0:01:41.280 a dramatic ex ratings win for the Dodgers. Yoshinobu Yamamoto 0:01:41.319 --> 0:01:44.080 and Brandon fought on the mound last night. They would 0:01:44.080 --> 0:01:46.960 go toe to toe, back and forth, putting up zeros 0:01:47.000 --> 0:01:50.080 along the way. Yamamoto pitched into the sixth st inning 0:01:50.160 --> 0:01:52.960 five and two thirds shutout innings, officially scattered just three 0:01:53.040 --> 0:01:55.559 hits while striking out six along the way. His pitch 0:01:55.600 --> 0:01:58.120 count got a little high That's why he exited in 0:01:58.160 --> 0:02:00.640 the sixth inning with one hundred and seven pitches. Meanwhile, 0:02:00.640 --> 0:02:03.680 Brandon Fought minute through seven shutout Indian's given him just 0:02:03.720 --> 0:02:06.800 two hits while striking out two and walking to the 0:02:06.840 --> 0:02:10.280 game remained tied until the eighth INNA, when the bullpens 0:02:10.320 --> 0:02:12.400 took over and the Diamondbacks went to the penn and 0:02:12.480 --> 0:02:15.200 Jonathan Loway isia on a relief facing Kyle. 0:02:15.000 --> 0:02:21.079 Tucker's a classic pitchers duel between Fought and Yamamoto. They're 0:02:21.080 --> 0:02:25.840 both now out of the game. One to oh pitch, 0:02:26.480 --> 0:02:27.799 Tucker swings hits. 0:02:27.560 --> 0:02:31.280 A high trive dap brightfield back it goes hit is 0:02:31.400 --> 0:02:34.360 done pal Tucker. 0:02:34.160 --> 0:02:35.960 Breaks the ice with a home run. 0:02:36.600 --> 0:02:40.120 Here's eleventh of the season and the Dodgers lead at 0:02:40.200 --> 0:02:40.959 one to nothing. 0:02:41.480 --> 0:02:43.480 Solo home run for King Tuck. 0:02:43.560 --> 0:02:46.440 He's eleventh of the season, his fourth since the All 0:02:46.480 --> 0:02:51.280 Star Game. Dodgers take a one nothing lead. Well, Dodgers 0:02:51.320 --> 0:02:53.480 with the lead take it into the ninth inning. Dave 0:02:53.560 --> 0:02:57.119 Roberts going to his closer, Edwin Diaz, who propably gave 0:02:57.200 --> 0:02:59.760 up a lead off triple to Haraldo Perdomo. Next batter 0:03:00.280 --> 0:03:01.800 Carroll and RBI triple that tie. 0:03:01.800 --> 0:03:02.760 The game had one. 0:03:02.680 --> 0:03:05.720 Blown save for Edwin Diaz, who was in danger of 0:03:05.880 --> 0:03:09.080 taking the loss. He settled in though line drive to third, 0:03:09.080 --> 0:03:11.680 pop out to short. After an intentional walk, he struck 0:03:11.680 --> 0:03:14.880 out Vargas to send it to extra innings. In the tenth, 0:03:15.000 --> 0:03:17.960 Dodgers had runners on first and third, two outsman show, Hey, 0:03:17.960 --> 0:03:19.840 o'tani you reached on an infield single. 0:03:20.080 --> 0:03:22.160 Kyle Tucker scored Dodgers at two to one lead. 0:03:22.280 --> 0:03:24.239 So to the bottom of the tenth we went Jack 0:03:24.360 --> 0:03:27.800 Dryer on in relief, strikeout infield single, so runners on 0:03:27.880 --> 0:03:29.640 first and third, one out. 0:03:29.760 --> 0:03:33.200 Dryer facing Ryan Walschmiz Tryer. 0:03:32.880 --> 0:03:35.560 Puts the ball in his Globin comes seven peaks over 0:03:35.640 --> 0:03:41.680 at first. OH two pitch curveball, round ball back to Tryer. 0:03:41.720 --> 0:03:42.320 He throws the. 0:03:42.280 --> 0:03:45.840 Second one on the first double pay he the Dodgers 0:03:45.880 --> 0:03:51.400 win OH game ending double play started by Jack Dryer, 0:03:53.360 --> 0:03:56.440 and the Dodgers win it an extra innings two to one, 0:03:57.000 --> 0:03:58.800 and in the seven game. 0:03:58.600 --> 0:04:01.960 Losing skid, the Dodgers are back. 0:04:01.760 --> 0:04:04.160 In the win column with win number seventy. 0:04:05.320 --> 0:04:09.160 How about the old one four to three double play ball. 0:04:08.960 --> 0:04:11.560 Game over on a stretch by Freddie Freeman at first 0:04:11.560 --> 0:04:13.520 base by the way, Dodgers hang on for the two 0:04:13.560 --> 0:04:16.320 to one win and ten innings, snapping that seven game 0:04:16.440 --> 0:04:17.880 losing streak that is over. 0:04:18.040 --> 0:04:19.280 With the win, Dodgers now. 0:04:19.240 --> 0:04:21.560 Seventy and forty seven, eight and a half games up 0:04:21.600 --> 0:04:23.479 in the NL West, and today the rubber game of 0:04:23.520 --> 0:04:27.120 this three game series in Arizona. Justin Robleski on the mound, 0:04:27.120 --> 0:04:29.080 looking to get back on track. First pitch coming up 0:04:29.080 --> 0:04:30.800 at one ten and with more we head out to 0:04:30.839 --> 0:04:33.360 the Gallop and four broadcast booth as we say good 0:04:33.400 --> 0:04:36.560 afternoon to Tim Nevert and Rick Monday guys. 0:04:36.320 --> 0:04:39.159 Tim, thanks very much. Roof closed on this very warm 0:04:39.200 --> 0:04:43.520 afternoon in Phoenix, Arizona for Game three, the final one 0:04:43.839 --> 0:04:46.160 of this three game set. It's the rubber game, as 0:04:46.240 --> 0:04:49.920 the Dodgers and Diamondbacks have split the first two. The Dodgers, 0:04:49.960 --> 0:04:52.679 with their seventieth win of the year last night, seventy 0:04:52.720 --> 0:04:55.839 and forty seven the record improved their lead to eight 0:04:55.839 --> 0:04:58.240 and a half over the Diamondbacks in the National League 0:04:58.279 --> 0:05:02.039 Western Division. Meantime, the Diamondbacks go to sixty two and 0:05:02.279 --> 0:05:06.080 fifty six. They are tied with Philadelphia for the second 0:05:06.240 --> 0:05:10.520 wild card. They are six behind the Chicago Cubs in 0:05:10.640 --> 0:05:13.680 the wild card race on the mound. The battle of 0:05:13.760 --> 0:05:16.840 lefty is Justin Robleski. He's eleven and three with a 0:05:16.880 --> 0:05:19.839 three to three to one ERA. Eduardo Rodriguez ten and 0:05:20.040 --> 0:05:24.640 four with a two seventy one earned run average. It 0:05:24.760 --> 0:05:27.279 was an exhale, a sigh of relief. It wasn't the 0:05:27.320 --> 0:05:29.400 way they wanted it to go down last night, but 0:05:29.440 --> 0:05:32.000 they'll take the win nonetheless, and in the seven game 0:05:32.040 --> 0:05:34.880 win streak, getting back in the win column with a 0:05:34.880 --> 0:05:38.320 two to one extra innings victory last night. It was 0:05:38.360 --> 0:05:40.520 an all hands on deck kind of game. They used 0:05:40.520 --> 0:05:43.280 a lot of the bullpen and a lot of drama 0:05:43.279 --> 0:05:44.400 in that ballgame last night. 0:05:44.440 --> 0:05:46.479 Well, it was a high wire act, there's no question 0:05:46.600 --> 0:05:49.520 about it. And for the Dodgers, yes, they were able 0:05:49.560 --> 0:05:52.560 to go hold on by their fingernails and be able 0:05:52.560 --> 0:05:54.960 to do it. We saw something I don't recall really 0:05:55.000 --> 0:05:58.000 happening in the bottom of the night then, I mean 0:05:58.080 --> 0:06:01.040 back to back triples. The Doctors had a one run 0:06:01.120 --> 0:06:04.320 lead at the time and a high wire act by 0:06:04.480 --> 0:06:06.920 Edwin Diaz, who after the ball game, you know, Dave 0:06:06.960 --> 0:06:08.400 Roberts says, you know, it was the first time they 0:06:08.600 --> 0:06:12.320 really saw the intensity coming out of Diaz, and he 0:06:12.360 --> 0:06:15.440 needed that intensity because he pitched out of it in 0:06:15.520 --> 0:06:17.920 the night. The Doctors eventually win it in the tenth 0:06:18.000 --> 0:06:20.280 and even then was a high wire act with the 0:06:20.360 --> 0:06:22.080 game ending on a double play ball. 0:06:22.200 --> 0:06:24.839 Which brings us to the question of the bullpen today. 0:06:24.839 --> 0:06:27.400 With heavy usage in the first couple of games, especially 0:06:27.560 --> 0:06:31.280 last night, who closes today? Well, Dave Roberts was asked 0:06:31.360 --> 0:06:33.320 that question a short time ago and he said, we'll 0:06:33.360 --> 0:06:35.200 see when we get there. I think he's got a 0:06:35.200 --> 0:06:38.000 pretty good idea, but he just doesn't want anybody to 0:06:38.040 --> 0:06:38.800 know before the game. 0:06:38.839 --> 0:06:39.039 Tim. 0:06:39.080 --> 0:06:41.760 I thought it was also interesting, is that postgame comments 0:06:41.760 --> 0:06:44.680 by Dave Roberts asked about Edwin Diaz as well, he's 0:06:44.720 --> 0:06:48.400 been struggling. Yes, you saw intensity last night, and Roberts 0:06:48.440 --> 0:06:50.880 again says, really the first time he has seen it 0:06:50.880 --> 0:06:53.719 this year from him at that level. And he says, well, 0:06:53.760 --> 0:06:56.200 you know, here's the other thing. Will Diaz remain as 0:06:56.200 --> 0:06:59.040 the closer? Because Dave said I thought it was interesting, 0:06:59.080 --> 0:07:01.640 he is, yeah, we need to because what are their 0:07:01.640 --> 0:07:04.880 options do I really have? And especially as you're alluding to, 0:07:04.960 --> 0:07:07.839 I mean six different relievers used in last night's game. 0:07:08.240 --> 0:07:11.280 Edwin Diaz gave up twelve runs all last season with 0:07:11.360 --> 0:07:14.040 the Mets. He's given up twelve runs already in limited 0:07:14.080 --> 0:07:15.000 duty with the Dodgers. 0:07:15.080 --> 0:07:17.520 Yeah. And the other part too, is we can talk 0:07:17.520 --> 0:07:19.800 about the pitching all we wanted. The era has gone up, 0:07:19.840 --> 0:07:21.880 no question about over the last number of weeks, but 0:07:22.200 --> 0:07:25.560 the offense has been very inconsistent on top of it. 0:07:25.600 --> 0:07:27.680 And one thing that Dodgers need to get rid of 0:07:28.240 --> 0:07:30.560 is the double play ball. They hit into two more 0:07:30.840 --> 0:07:33.560 last night. They've hit into more double plays than any 0:07:33.560 --> 0:07:36.640 other team in baseball and has really taken them out 0:07:36.640 --> 0:07:38.280 of opportunities in certain innings. 0:07:38.400 --> 0:07:41.040 Dave was asked about the double plays recently, just a 0:07:41.120 --> 0:07:43.480 few minutes ago, and he said, it's a matter of 0:07:43.520 --> 0:07:46.240 our hitters being more aware of what the pitcher is 0:07:46.280 --> 0:07:48.760 trying to do to them, and that's what he's trying 0:07:48.760 --> 0:07:50.800 to do to help them cut down on hitting into 0:07:50.800 --> 0:07:54.920 double plays. Dodgers and the Diamondbacks. That said, Wydro Rodriguez 0:07:55.000 --> 0:07:59.440 pitching for Arizona, Justin Roeblusky for the Dodgers in a 0:07:59.480 --> 0:08:02.360 game that will decide the tiebreaker between these two teams 0:08:02.400 --> 0:08:03.400 if it comes down to it. 0:08:03.680 --> 0:08:06.000 Tim all right, Thank you guys as we count you 0:08:06.040 --> 0:08:07.560 down to first pitch on this Sunday. 0:08:07.600 --> 0:08:09.240 Dodger fans, what you're doing for lunch? 0:08:10.120 --> 0:08:12.960 Get your game day meal on Shaky's Pizza Parlor, or 0:08:13.040 --> 0:08:15.480 to your Shaky's Pizza Chicken Mojo's. 0:08:15.520 --> 0:08:16.280 You can do it right now. 0:08:16.320 --> 0:08:19.760 It's Shaky's dot Com coming up here on Dodgers on Deck. 0:08:19.840 --> 0:08:22.880 David Vasego's high and tight with Alex Vesia.

The sky was falling. 0:10:18.200 --> 0:10:20.559 But when it's all said and done, the Dodge is 0:10:20.600 --> 0:10:22.240 now have a chance to actually win this series. 0:10:22.240 --> 0:10:23.080 With the victory. 0:10:22.800 --> 0:10:26.560 Today, the sun has come back up. Everything is gonna 0:10:26.600 --> 0:10:28.720 be fine. No, they're in a good position. They're an 0:10:28.760 --> 0:10:30.959 opportunity they can win this series. Like you mentioned, and 0:10:31.040 --> 0:10:33.800 name got Justin Robleski who's on the mound. And as 0:10:33.880 --> 0:10:36.800 much as yes like as a collective, they're still working 0:10:36.800 --> 0:10:39.400 through a few things to get back to playing their 0:10:39.520 --> 0:10:42.559 version and their level of Dodger Baseball. Yesterday at least 0:10:42.600 --> 0:10:44.559 was a very good step. You saw whether it was 0:10:44.559 --> 0:10:48.199 the bullten who, yes, dealt with some traffic in different situations, 0:10:48.200 --> 0:10:50.800 but they were able to grind through it. Even if 0:10:50.840 --> 0:10:54.240 you think about Edwin Diaz there in that ninth inning, 0:10:54.280 --> 0:10:56.040 for him to be in a situation with the two 0:10:56.120 --> 0:10:59.120 backpack triples, one of them being an RBI triple to 0:10:59.160 --> 0:11:01.960 bring in the game tying rind, but for him to 0:11:02.000 --> 0:11:04.240 be able to get out of that with no outs 0:11:04.280 --> 0:11:06.560 with a runner on third. That was huge for him. 0:11:06.640 --> 0:11:09.400 Dave Robertson talked about just a different level of intensity 0:11:09.400 --> 0:11:12.439 that they saw from him. So the team is ultimately 0:11:12.480 --> 0:11:15.960 in a good spot to continue building on yesterday. I've 0:11:15.960 --> 0:11:18.600 got Justin on the mound. He's looking for a bounce 0:11:18.679 --> 0:11:21.240 back outing and then hopefully the offense. There's a lot 0:11:21.240 --> 0:11:24.560 of familiarity with Eduardo Rodriguez, but he's had a great year, 0:11:24.880 --> 0:11:27.120 so hopefully they can really find ways to get going early. 0:11:27.320 --> 0:11:29.800 You mentioned Justin Robleski and bouncing back. He had a 0:11:29.840 --> 0:11:32.880 great first half of the season since the All Star break. 0:11:33.200 --> 0:11:35.920 Justin Robleski's just the one win in Philadelphia and the 0:11:36.000 --> 0:11:38.160 last time in Chicago wasn't a great outing. 0:11:38.640 --> 0:11:40.360 Yeah, he got jumped on, you know when you look 0:11:40.360 --> 0:11:42.080 at the four home runs and for him it's now 0:11:42.120 --> 0:11:44.760 been four home runs and back to back outings, and 0:11:44.800 --> 0:11:47.400 so the long golf killing him at the moment. But 0:11:48.080 --> 0:11:50.720 talking to Dave roberts he had shared that they were 0:11:50.720 --> 0:11:52.199 going to look in to see if there was any 0:11:52.240 --> 0:11:55.400 tipping that was maybe happening, especially after that outing in Chicago, 0:11:55.840 --> 0:11:58.599 and he said that that thing it came back inconclusive. 0:11:58.720 --> 0:12:01.800 They didn't see anything there. With talking to Justin, he 0:12:01.920 --> 0:12:05.280 has shared that when he being a picture that truly 0:12:05.400 --> 0:12:08.520 attacks the strike zone like you're facing big lea hiders, 0:12:08.559 --> 0:12:10.400 there are going to be times that the execution's not 0:12:10.520 --> 0:12:12.400 there that you are going to get jimped on and 0:12:12.400 --> 0:12:14.360 get attacked, similar to what we saw in these last 0:12:14.400 --> 0:12:16.600 two outings. So he was saying, it's more of you 0:12:16.679 --> 0:12:19.199 have to look at it as a learning experience. Maybe 0:12:19.200 --> 0:12:21.480 there's some things in the game planning and sequencing he 0:12:21.559 --> 0:12:24.040 can adjust, but you know, he can't change. He is 0:12:24.080 --> 0:12:26.160 and he wants to be that guy. He's had success 0:12:26.200 --> 0:12:28.560 in the zone. But now it's just okay, what are 0:12:28.600 --> 0:12:31.320 maybe certain ways we can make some adjustments so that 0:12:31.440 --> 0:12:34.280 the execution is coming back and the results aren'nest aren't 0:12:34.280 --> 0:12:35.680 as impactful, no doubt. 0:12:35.720 --> 0:12:37.400 Let's hope you can get back on track and not 0:12:37.480 --> 0:12:39.040 give up the home run ball like he has the 0:12:39.120 --> 0:12:39.800 last two games. 0:12:39.840 --> 0:12:40.880 Kirsten, we appreciate it. 0:12:40.920 --> 0:12:42.440 We'll check it with you after the game still to 0:12:42.440 --> 0:12:45.040 come here on Marongo Casino Dodgers on deck.

So, 0:14:21.320 --> 0:14:25.640 you know, going to today, Robos had a couple of 0:14:25.640 --> 0:14:29.320 tough ones and so I'm really excited to see how 0:14:29.400 --> 0:14:33.920 he responds today. You know, he talks a little bit 0:14:33.960 --> 0:14:37.520 about the offense and just kind of, you know, anxious 0:14:37.560 --> 0:14:41.600 to see how they respond to Rodriguez, who's had a 0:14:41.720 --> 0:14:45.560 great year, good pitcher, change his speeds and so just 0:14:45.680 --> 0:14:49.520 kind of how we, you know, navigate him today as well. 0:14:50.040 --> 0:14:52.640 Justin you guys had mentioned just after the back to 0:14:52.640 --> 0:14:54.400 back games with four home runs, you guys were going 0:14:54.440 --> 0:14:56.280 to look into whether if there were some tippings and 0:14:56.320 --> 0:14:58.600 things like that. Was there anything that you guys were 0:14:58.640 --> 0:15:00.920 able to find and is it hop that either it 0:15:01.080 --> 0:15:03.840 just this like mechanical thing or with him attacking the zone, 0:15:03.880 --> 0:15:05.400 this is just a possibility. 0:15:05.800 --> 0:15:07.720 I think with we we did look into it. I 0:15:07.720 --> 0:15:11.360 think it was unfounded, and you know, some of it 0:15:11.400 --> 0:15:16.960 is just pitch execution, you know, some of it, you know, 0:15:16.960 --> 0:15:20.280 and the last one there is some wind involved aiding 0:15:20.320 --> 0:15:22.640 some of the slug. But I think at the end 0:15:22.640 --> 0:15:24.800 of the day we feel good about you know, he's 0:15:24.920 --> 0:15:26.560 got to go out there next few pitches. 0:15:28.000 --> 0:15:32.240 Next you got back to back two times, say young winners, 0:15:33.440 --> 0:15:37.240 how much of the weapon or advantage is that they 0:15:37.280 --> 0:15:40.600 have that kind of a one two punch in a rotation. 0:15:41.520 --> 0:15:44.040 It's great, it's you know, on one side of it, 0:15:45.000 --> 0:15:48.400 you feel it as the home team because you feel 0:15:48.440 --> 0:15:51.160 that the confidence of who you're running out there. But 0:15:51.280 --> 0:15:54.040 on the other side, you know, it seems daunting, you 0:15:54.080 --> 0:15:56.120 know when you look at the probables and you see 0:15:56.160 --> 0:16:00.000 these cy young guys back to back and you it's 0:16:00.120 --> 0:16:03.280 a lot to take in as a potential offense, you know, 0:16:03.480 --> 0:16:06.960 as an offense, and so it's it feels really good 0:16:06.960 --> 0:16:08.480 to have those two guys on our side. 0:16:08.640 --> 0:16:10.720 When the last time you had something. 0:16:10.440 --> 0:16:18.480 Like that, you know, yeah, I can't remember, you know, 0:16:18.600 --> 0:16:22.080 I mean you'd have to go back to Kershaw granky 0:16:22.320 --> 0:16:26.160 and you know, yeah, Yamamoto hasn't one to cy Young, 0:16:26.280 --> 0:16:29.200 but he's right up there in the conversation, you know, 0:16:29.240 --> 0:16:30.640 the last couple of years. 0:16:30.680 --> 0:16:32.280 That get ahead of myself. 0:16:32.320 --> 0:16:35.840 But if I even more amplify the the postseason. 0:16:35.320 --> 0:16:38.080 Than that feeling it is, it is. 0:16:38.280 --> 0:16:40.960 Yeah. I mean I think that you know, you have 0:16:41.040 --> 0:16:44.680 to win with starting pitching, you really do. And I 0:16:44.680 --> 0:16:47.400 think in twenty four. I know in twenty four we 0:16:47.480 --> 0:16:51.120 did it a different way, but starting pitching is kind 0:16:51.120 --> 0:16:56.680 of your backbone. And to have those guys, yeah, regular season, postseason, 0:16:57.680 --> 0:16:59.440 that's a good kind of foundation. 0:17:00.120 --> 0:17:00.480 All Right. 0:17:00.520 --> 0:17:03.360 There's a manager, Dave Roberts addressing a lot of topics, 0:17:03.400 --> 0:17:06.919 including next week. Yes, with Schooble and Snell back to 0:17:06.960 --> 0:17:10.119 back starts on Monday and Tuesday. We'll continue here on 0:17:10.240 --> 0:17:12.560 Wrongo Casino Dodgers on Deck. We will check in with 0:17:12.720 --> 0:17:15.720 the David Vas get you all the latest to lead 0:17:15.720 --> 0:17:18.240 you up to Dodgers and Diamondbacks on this Sunday from Phoenix. 0:17:18.320 --> 0:17:19.880 I'm Tim Kates as the back to back World Series 0:17:19.920 --> 0:17:21.760 champion Dodgers Audio Network. 0:17:25.200 --> 0:17:29.920 As we were saying, this is Marongo Casino, Dodgers on 0:17:30.119 --> 0:17:34.000 deck on the official home of La Dodgers Baseball. 0:17:36.040 --> 0:17:39.760 It's the Dodgers and the Diamondbacks. Justin Robleski on the mound. 0:17:39.840 --> 0:17:42.760 First pitch from Phoenix is coming up at one ten. 0:17:45.160 --> 0:17:47.640 Joining Tim Kats on Dodgers on deck. 0:17:47.680 --> 0:17:49.480 I accept everybody for who they are. 0:17:49.560 --> 0:17:52.760 This is Dodger insider David Basse. 0:17:53.119 --> 0:17:54.160 All right, DV. 0:17:54.119 --> 0:17:57.720 Dodgers gonna win last night. But another rough outing for 0:17:57.840 --> 0:17:59.080 Edwin Diaz in the ninth. 0:17:59.359 --> 0:18:01.680 Yeah, it was a tail of two innings for Edwin 0:18:01.760 --> 0:18:04.800 Diaz because he gave up back to back triples, blew 0:18:04.840 --> 0:18:09.119 the safe but stranded Corby and Carroll at third base 0:18:09.200 --> 0:18:13.000 with nobody out. And I talked to Edwin Diaz earlier 0:18:13.040 --> 0:18:16.080 this morning and we went through that ninth inning, and 0:18:16.119 --> 0:18:19.719 I asked him whether or not the back of his mind, 0:18:19.800 --> 0:18:23.600 not really allowing himself to let it go as far 0:18:23.680 --> 0:18:27.879 as finishing his pitches has prevented him from looking like 0:18:28.080 --> 0:18:31.280 Edwin Diaz since returning off the IL. And he said, 0:18:31.320 --> 0:18:35.560 you know what, to a certain extent, yes, because when 0:18:35.560 --> 0:18:38.560 that guy was at third base, he said to himself, 0:18:39.040 --> 0:18:42.440 I am not going to allow the Dodgers to lose 0:18:42.480 --> 0:18:45.000 this game. I am not going to allow us to 0:18:45.080 --> 0:18:48.480 lose this game. And then he said he went into 0:18:48.640 --> 0:18:51.919 compete mode and just let it rip and did not 0:18:52.080 --> 0:18:54.680 allow whatever he had in the back of his mind 0:18:54.720 --> 0:18:58.239 about whether or not his arm would cooperate enter his 0:18:58.359 --> 0:19:01.040 mind at that point in time, and that gave the 0:19:01.080 --> 0:19:04.879 Dodgers a chance to win. So, like Dave Roberts said 0:19:04.960 --> 0:19:07.520 after the game last night when he spoke to DS, 0:19:07.640 --> 0:19:11.040 he believes what took place in that ninth inning, where 0:19:11.119 --> 0:19:14.879 DS competed his way through the rest of that ninth 0:19:14.880 --> 0:19:17.520
