Speaker 3: Well last night, Susaki shine none of the bright lights
Speaker 3: of New York. Roki Susaki looking to build off his
Speaker 3: last start against the Yankees up in the Bronx exactly
Speaker 3: that last night. Solid seven innings in Queens. He allowed
Speaker 3: his one run on three hits while striking out nine
Speaker 3: along the way. Sasaki's only mistake was his solo home
Speaker 3: run He gave up in the second that gave the
Speaker 3: Mets a one nothing lead, but after that Susaki would
Speaker 3: put up zeros and case.
Speaker 2: Evan Phillips getting loose in the Dodger pin a one
Speaker 2: two pitch struck him out. That's nine cas in four
Speaker 2: to row four Sasaki.
Speaker 3: Rookie Susaki putting up strikeouts. In the fourth, Dodgers down
Speaker 3: one to nothing when Freddy Freeman and Mookie Betts had
Speaker 3: back to back singles to lead off the Indian with
Speaker 3: Freeman on third, Miguel Rojas a sack fly that scored
Speaker 3: him and then that tied the game at one. Fast forward
Speaker 3: to this seventh Dodgers again using a little small ball
Speaker 3: to take the lead. Back to back singles, sack bunt
Speaker 3: then show Hey o'tiny as sack fly to center that
Speaker 3: gave the Dodgers a two to one lead. In the eighth,
Speaker 3: Freddie Freeman a lead off single. He would steal second,
Speaker 3: just as fifth stolen base of the year, as the
Speaker 3: Dodgers had a runner in scoring position looking to add
Speaker 3: on to their lead. However, Mookie Betts popped out, Miguel
Speaker 3: Rojas popped out, so two down, bringing up Kyle Tucker.
Speaker 2: Tucker standing tall ahead of the one. One here it is.
Speaker 2: Tucker hits it hard, in't here to deep right field,
Speaker 2: going back bench, he will turn It's gone. Oh how
Speaker 2: much did Kyle Tucker need a swing like that? His
Speaker 2: eighth home run of the year, a two run shot
Speaker 2: to give the Dodgers some breathing room in the Ague.
Speaker 3: Two run home run for Kyle Tucker, just over the
Speaker 3: wall in right his eighth of this season and his
Speaker 3: first home run since June twenty seventh.
Speaker 6: How about that.
Speaker 3: Rookie Sasaki went the seven innings. Evan Phillips got the
Speaker 3: eighth he Gama solo home run, but limited the damage.
Speaker 6: Tanner Scott got the ninth on a one two three inning.
Speaker 3: Dodgers go on and beat the Mets last night by
Speaker 3: final four to two. Rookie Sasaki against the win his
Speaker 3: first in May twenty third Tenner Scott his sixteenth save
Speaker 3: of the seasons. The Dodgers just keep on winning. They
Speaker 3: have now won three in a row. They're five and
Speaker 3: two on this East Coast road trip. They're now sixty
Speaker 3: six and thirty eight overall in the season, best record
Speaker 3: in baseball, first place atop the NIAS and they look
Speaker 3: to do it again tonight with Yoshinobu Yamamoto on the
Speaker 3: mount first pitcher. City field is coming up at four
Speaker 3: point fifteen, and with more we head out to the
Speaker 3: Galloping four broadcast booth as.
Speaker 6: We welcome in Steven Nelson and Jose Mode.
Speaker 2: Guys, here we go, Tim. It was a gorgeous July
Speaker 2: afternoon here in New York City. The Dodgers getting close
Speaker 2: to the end of this nine game road trip hoose Mota,
Speaker 2: and they've already clinched a winning road trip, having won
Speaker 2: five of the first seven. Now they want to clinch
Speaker 2: a third consecutive series. They can get that done with
Speaker 2: a win today.
Speaker 7: Nobody's been better in baseball and winning series than the Dodgers.
Speaker 7: And you consider the Dodgers playing till there's one level only, Stephen,
Speaker 7: and overall, if you look consider the many ways in
Speaker 7: which they have won, there's this slugging part of it.
Speaker 7: There's been a pitching side of it, whether the bullpen
Speaker 7: were the starting pitchers. But now thing's a combination of
Speaker 7: the minimum of everything making it work. You have talent,
Speaker 7: you want enough, you executed at the right time, and
Speaker 7: that's exactly what's happening throughout this trip.
Speaker 2: Last night, they just continued to give themselves opportunit unities
Speaker 2: throughout the game. Seven of nine innings started with a
Speaker 2: leadoff hit. It's the first time they've done that in
Speaker 2: more than a decade, having seven plus leadoff hits in
Speaker 2: a game. Now, they were not good with runners in
Speaker 2: scoring position to Dodger's just one for thirteen. That one
Speaker 2: hit was Kyle Tucker's ultimately game winning home run, But
Speaker 2: the fact that they gave themselves chances and then speak
Speaker 2: on Tucker, that big swing won. That was big for
Speaker 2: the game, but also big for him personally.
Speaker 7: And I think if you talk about building in talk
Speaker 7: about that swing for Kyle Tucker, it's pretty much building
Speaker 7: the mind so that I'm good enough right now to
Speaker 7: go out there and get something good to hit and
Speaker 7: put my best swing. His swing has gotten a little
Speaker 7: bit shorter sometimes at times we'll see a little bit longer.
Speaker 7: But you know, you and all we're talking about this
Speaker 7: take the positive mindset. Just a bloop hit, a ball
Speaker 7: off the end of the bat, a walk sometimes just
Speaker 7: along that bat is enough to get your mind right.
Speaker 7: So when you see that one pitch, you know, not
Speaker 7: thinking about anything else but to put a good swing
Speaker 7: through it and he got it done.
Speaker 2: Ose O, I'm going to dive into something with you.
Speaker 1: Is the dot.
Speaker 2: In this regular season, they have this big division lead,
Speaker 2: and obviously the Diamondbacks are are pesky, They're not going anywhere.
Speaker 2: But it's really the regular season for this organization has
Speaker 2: become just a testing and proving ground for the postseason.
Speaker 2: That's not said with any arrogance, because again, this is
Speaker 2: baseball and anything can happen in the postseason. But that's
Speaker 2: what this one hundred and sixty two game marathon is for.
Speaker 2: But the fact that these Dodgers have been so good,
Speaker 2: especially lately and on this road trip, with comeback wins,
Speaker 2: close games, beating quality pitchers, those are the types of
Speaker 2: tests that they are trying to pass in these summer
Speaker 2: months to get ready for the fall.
Speaker 7: There's an evaluation happening from the beginning of spring training
Speaker 7: until the first week, and they consider, how do I
Speaker 7: find all this talent to put together and how do
Speaker 7: all this talent come together to understand how to win games? Steven,
Speaker 7: they know how to win ball games. They put themselves
Speaker 7: in good positions to do that, and they never look
Speaker 7: back as to how the game started, just ask how
Speaker 7: we're going to end it in a positive way.
Speaker 8: Counting on the big guns.
Speaker 7: Now, we know that the lineup at Toms scuffle from
Speaker 7: the top, middle or the bottom up. The one consistent
Speaker 7: piece for the Dodgers has been when the bottom hits
Speaker 7: and gets on bass, very good things happen.
Speaker 8: We've seen him throughout this trip.
Speaker 7: But if you talk about the big picture, they always
Speaker 7: keep their mind on one thing, who's on the roster,
Speaker 7: not who's now, who's coming back, and thus you maximized
Speaker 7: with great leaders, the best out of the young players.
Speaker 2: It's a great pitching matchup tonight. Tim Yoshinobu Yamamoto for
Speaker 2: the Dodgers, Nolan McLain, the talented right handed rookie for
Speaker 2: the Mets. We'll dive into that matchup and get to
Speaker 2: keep from Jose in just a little bit.

Speaker 2: strike leadoff single for show Hey another one two pitch Otani.
Speaker 2: You just flips the bat out there, pulls it down
Speaker 2: the right field line toward the corner. Old Tani makes
Speaker 2: a turn for so now he's thinking three throw back
Speaker 2: in cut up by Lindor. The throw to third and
Speaker 2: he is out. Dodgers won Mets one second and third
Speaker 2: one out. In the seventh on a one to one,
Speaker 2: Old Tani unloads to center field, but it's way in
Speaker 2: front of the warning track. I got got there. That's
Speaker 2: plenty deep to score. The runner toa Oscar Hernandez tags
Speaker 2: and scores from third, rushing tags from second to get
Speaker 2: to third. It's a sacrifice fly for Old Tony and
Speaker 2: the Dodgers take the lead two to one.
Speaker 3: Show Hey Otani with the sack fly and the seventh
Speaker 3: inning and that gave the Dodgers a two to one lead.
Speaker 3: A two for four tonight, including that sack fly. He
Speaker 3: had a double trying to stretch it into a triple
Speaker 3: got thrown out. But overall, show Hey Otani a big
Speaker 3: night last night, now hitting two eighty six on this season.
Speaker 3: More on show hel Tani the pitcher coming up with
Speaker 3: David vasse In just a little bit. Last night, Kyle
Speaker 3: Tucker hit a home run for the first time in
Speaker 3: almost a month. Yes, Kyle Tucker goes deep for his
Speaker 3: eighth home run of the season, a two run shot
Speaker 3: in the eighth Indian and afterwards or the Dodgers went
Speaker 3: it four to two and he caught up quick your.
Speaker 9: Somat Kyle, First, just going into this game, you have
Speaker 9: a matchup against Sean and Iah, you have a lot
Speaker 9: of familiarity and a lot of success against him. Just
Speaker 9: knowing that matchup, how much of a confidence booster was
Speaker 9: it as you're looking to get going coming.
Speaker 1: Into this game.
Speaker 10: I mean I feel confident every game, and every time
Speaker 10: I go up there, so's everyone else. I Mean I
Speaker 10: haven't faced probably since kind of a few years ago,
Speaker 10: so I know he's changed a little bit with this
Speaker 10: setup and the way thursdays up. But so at first,
Speaker 10: I just want to see a couple of pitches and
Speaker 10: see how it goes, and then you're trying to go
Speaker 10: up there and compete.
Speaker 9: Ultimately, ultimately, you saw a bunch of lefties. So if
Speaker 9: it wasn't him, of course he saw a did mentor
Speaker 9: you that's your run homers, just what we were.
Speaker 10: Looking for specifically in that at that just get something
Speaker 10: over the plate. It's a good, good cutter, So I
Speaker 10: didn't want to chase anything awesome, just trying to get
Speaker 10: something closer to me and at our pitch or the
Speaker 10: middle of part of the play.
Speaker 6: It's just put a good swing on it.
Speaker 9: You look at how things all came together for each night,
Speaker 9: is there something that you kind of maybe point to
Speaker 9: that led to.
Speaker 6: The results you had?
Speaker 10: Just keep grinding every single day, just try and do
Speaker 10: your best out there to be and just try and
Speaker 10: keep on lying moving and just play.
Speaker 6: For one another.
Speaker 10: So I mean, if we keep doing that like we've
Speaker 10: been doing, we'll be in a good spot.
Speaker 9: Not only was it just the offense tonight, but you
Speaker 9: also have Roki Sasaki. He was excellent through seven. How
Speaker 9: would you describe just what you were seeing from him
Speaker 9: on the mount of his composure?
Speaker 6: Yeah, he's been great.
Speaker 10: Like you said, I mean, he comes out and goes
Speaker 10: this is best every single time, whether he's got a
Speaker 10: battle through some aniversary or not, he goes out there
Speaker 10: and gives is all. So there's just another good outing
Speaker 10: from him.
Speaker 6: Kyle, Congratulations on this one.
Speaker 8: Tonight.
Speaker 6: Yeah, thank you, appreciate it all right. There's Kyle Tucker
Speaker 6: hit to run home run.

Speaker 5: This it's the LA Time injury.
Speaker 3: Report presented by UCLA Healthy official medical partner of the
Speaker 3: Los Angeles Dodgers. Blake tried it on the IL with
Speaker 3: the right elbow inflammation, Keith A Hernandez on the IL
Speaker 3: with the left oblique injury. He is scheduled to come
Speaker 3: off the injury list on the next homestand as is
Speaker 3: Edwin Diaz, Dodger reliever and closer who probably could have
Speaker 3: been ready this weekend in New York against the Mets,
Speaker 3: but with the Dodgers on the East Coast road trip,
Speaker 3: no need for him to fly all the way out
Speaker 3: there for three games and then fly all the way back.
Speaker 3: They have a homestand coming up and getting it on Tuesday,
Speaker 3: and all signs point to Edwin Diaz being activated off
Speaker 3: the ange list. He has completed a couple of minor
Speaker 3: league rehab assignments, including pitching him back to back games.
Speaker 3: Tyler Glasstow on the il with lower back spasms. He
Speaker 3: is beginning to throw off the mound.
Speaker 6: That is good news.
Speaker 3: Will Smith the next inflammation still bothering him. No update
Speaker 3: as far as the Dodger catcher. Good news as far
Speaker 3: as Blake Snell is concerned. He made his second minor
Speaker 3: league rehab stent last night for TRIPAA Oklahoma City. He
Speaker 3: pitched two and two third innings. He struck out three,
Speaker 3: He allowed two singles a run scored. After he departed,
Speaker 3: Blake Snell threw forty nine pitches with no walks and
Speaker 3: again two and a third innings, one run, two hits,
Speaker 3: three strikeouts, no walks, and he was sitting at mid
Speaker 3: to upper nineties on his fastball, so that is certainly
Speaker 3: a good sign well. Last night a good sign for
Speaker 3: the Dodgers, who won their third in a row on
Speaker 3: this road trip now five and two overall, with a
Speaker 3: series winning New York, a series win in Philadelphia, and
Speaker 3: taking the series opener against the New York Mets last
Speaker 3: night four to two Freddie Freeman. Three more hits for Freddy,
Speaker 3: including a double, and afterwards caught up with David S.
Speaker 4: Freddie, this team has been in three different cities the
Speaker 4: last forty eight hours. How did you guys have enough
Speaker 4: in the tank to come out and win a baseball game.
Speaker 10: Yeah, it's been a long couple of weeks on the
Speaker 10: East Coast, but we've been playing good baseball. We know
Speaker 10: we want to end the road trip on a good note.
Speaker 10: We got a good team and Rookie was unbelievable again,
Speaker 10: so we'll pull it out tonight. So it gets rested,
Speaker 10: Knight and come out again.
Speaker 4: Farm When he works quickly and gets out and throws strikes,
Speaker 4: how much does that just help everything?

Speaker 4: and Charlie Garraner. The next double you HiT's how has
Speaker 4: that happened?
Speaker 8: How is that transpired?
Speaker 10: Yeah? Yeah, it's hard to you know, sometimes comprehend when
Speaker 10: you're doing something. You don't really focus on those things when.
Speaker 8: You're going about it.
Speaker 10: But yeah, just been lucky enough to stay healthy for
Speaker 10: a long time, play this game a long time, be
Speaker 10: consistently good long enough, and obviously have the trust and
Speaker 10: my managers to put me out there every single day.
Speaker 10: So yeah, it's pretty cool.
Speaker 8: But yeah, we'll see what you're doing tomorrow. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Hey, it's fitting in New York too, Freddy. I know
Speaker 4: about your history here.
Speaker 10: Yeah, I do like New York. I like I like

Speaker 3: We will check in with David Vast say get the
Speaker 3: very latest. There's an update on show. Heil O Tani
Speaker 3: the pitcher. It's the very latest. What are we going
Speaker 3: to see him again on the mound? Dank's gonna let
Speaker 3: us know when we come back. Dodgers and Mets First
Speaker 3: pitch from City Field at four fifteen. I'm Tim Kats's
Speaker 3: the back to back World Series champion Dodgers Paul, You'll.
Speaker 11: Know where.
Speaker 5: As we were saying, yes, he's my wrong Casino Dodgers
Speaker 5: on deck on the official home of La Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 3: Dodgers and Mets, Game two of this three game weekend,
Speaker 3: sent from Queens Yoshio Yamamoto, Nolan McLean the pitching matchoup
Speaker 3: first pitch coming up at four fifteen. Dodgers Baseball is
Speaker 3: brought to you by al Pato, born in La Made
Speaker 3: for your game day, al Pato brings authentic Mexican style
Speaker 3: tomato sauces sauces and hot sauces right to your table
Speaker 3: every single time.
Speaker 6: El Pato Gourmet and a.
Speaker 1: Can joining Tim Kats on Dodgers on Deck.
Speaker 8: I accept everybody for who they are.
Speaker 1: This is Dodger insider David Bassi.
Speaker 6: All right, DV.
Speaker 3: We get to see Showy Otani the hitter, still every
Speaker 3: single day at the top of the lineup as a
Speaker 3: designated hitter.
Speaker 6: What about show Hal Tani the pitcher.
Speaker 8: What's going on? Well?
Speaker 4: I found out that today show Hal Tani was not
Speaker 4: necessarily penned in schedule to throw a bullpen session. As
Speaker 4: Mark Pryor has told us multiple times, it's a read
Speaker 4: and react situation with Otani. So when he went out
Speaker 4: and through that bullpen session on Wednesday, thirty four pitches,
Speaker 4: that was something that he had scheduled with the trainers,
Speaker 4: and the left knee was a little sore after throwing
Speaker 4: that bullpen session, and yesterday is when Otani decided that,
Speaker 4: you know what, the left knee doesn't feel good enough
Speaker 4: to try to throw the bullpen session that was tentatively
Speaker 4: scheduled for today. So he threw some playballs against the
Speaker 4: wall and basically, as Dave Roberts said, earlier today, quote
Speaker 4: kick the can down the road as far as the
Speaker 4: next time he throws a bullpen session. But I will
Speaker 4: say this, and I asked this directly to Dave Roberts
Speaker 4: during his media session, does he still believe that Otani
Speaker 4: will pitch again this season? And without hesitating, he said, yes,
Speaker 4: He's confident Otani will pitch again this season.
Speaker 6: Let's hope.
Speaker 3: So, David is brought to you by your Ford Summer
Speaker 3: Sales event. Don't wagh hurrying right now for the best
Speaker 3: offers of the year, Ford Official Vehicle of Major League Baseball.
Speaker 3: Yoshinobu Yamamoto on the mound last time out of complete
Speaker 3: game four hitter at Yankee Stadium.
Speaker 6: What's he gonna do for tonight, David.
Speaker 4: Well, the one thing about tonight, it's a great pitching
Speaker 4: matchup that we don't usually get. But Yamamoto's on the mound,
Speaker 4: a guy that is in the running for the Cy
Speaker 4: Young Award, and Nolan McClain, who was heralded coming out
Speaker 4: of spring training in the World Baseball Classic as a
Speaker 4: guy that was going to rival guys like Skiens and
Speaker 4: Yamamoto and Mislarowski. Obviously, he's not on a good team.
Speaker 4: So tonight, let's see what Nolan McClain has. But talking
Speaker 4: to people around Yamamoto, they told me the way that
Speaker 4: he's been able to really take his game to the
Speaker 4: next level is preparation and really going to the homework
Speaker 4: to dissect hitters and have the confidence and conviction to
Speaker 4: throw pitches to certain hitters. Maybe in his first year
Speaker 4: he relied on the catcher to do all that, but
Speaker 4: my understanding is Yamamoto has been Robleski level detailed in
Speaker 4: his preparation and that's why he has so much conviction
Speaker 4: and no more you know, fifty to fifty on what
Speaker 4: he may throw. He is in control of the game,
Speaker 4: and he has a very detailed start day. I was
Speaker 4: able to get his schedule for today. For instance, at
Speaker 4: two thirty he got treatment. At four point fifteen he
Speaker 4: went to the pitchers meeting. Right about now he's getting
Speaker 4: ready to come out and.
Speaker 8: Throw in the outfield.
Speaker 4: And you know, it's just I'm not going to say
Speaker 4: it's Kershaw like, but he really It's not a coincidence, Tim,
Speaker 4: that he is so talented and he has taken his
Speaker 4: game another level. It goes all the way back to
Speaker 4: what all the greats say, it's preparation and attention to detail,
Speaker 4: and that is where Yama motos right now in his career.
Speaker 3: Can I want to see him out there tonight in
Speaker 3: this great pitching matchups. But speaking of scene, what are
Speaker 3: we gonna see Blake Snell back with the Dodgers?
Speaker 4: David, Oh, Well, Dave Roberts left the door open for
Speaker 4: that tim He's going to make one more rehab start
Speaker 4: and they're hoping that Snell goes four innings.
Speaker 8: In that rehab start.
Speaker 4: Dave Roberts was posed the question whether or not there's
Speaker 4: going to be two more rehab starts for Snell, and
Speaker 4: he left the door open and saying, let's see how
Speaker 4: it looks after he.
Speaker 8: Goes four innings. I can tell you this.
Speaker 4: Blake Snell texted me said he felt great last night
Speaker 4: pitching in Sacramento. The fastball was ninety seven, the curveball
Speaker 4: was there. But he hasn't pitched all season long, so
Speaker 4: he's knocking off the rust.
Speaker 8: And is very anxious to come back.
Speaker 4: And who knows, maybe one more rehab start and snell
Speaker 4: Zilla is back in the rotation.
Speaker 6: We shall see great stuff, Dave. I'll check back in

Speaker 3: not two, but three of them.

Speaker 3: home run nights. Yes, as the Dodgers hit five total

Speaker 3: We head back out to the booth. Jose Motive, David Vesse,
Speaker 3: guys Hose.
Speaker 4: I know you and Steven have talked about this already,
Speaker 4: but man, what a night here in New York to
Speaker 4: have Yamamoto going up against Nolan McClain.
Speaker 8: I think it's great.
Speaker 7: We consider their matching up again for the second time
Speaker 7: this season. The first one was one that did not disappoint. Again,
Speaker 7: I expect a lower scoring game. Catch a baseball, maximize
Speaker 7: opportunities on the offensive side, and with this guy, throw
Speaker 7: like seven different pitches.
Speaker 8: Don't look for seven of them.
Speaker 7: Don't even sit on like tendencies or counts, don't read velocity,
Speaker 7: sit in one area and if it's a ball, let
Speaker 7: it go. If it's not obviously, put your best swing
Speaker 7: on it.
Speaker 4: You know what stood out to me They have a
Speaker 4: big video board here at City Field, and the stats
Speaker 4: really pop, right, your stats, good or bad, really pop.
Speaker 4: And it was shocking to see two ninety five next
Speaker 4: to Mookie Bets on base percentage.
Speaker 8: I don't think we.
Speaker 4: Fully grasp how much he has struggled this season because
Speaker 4: he's not even taking walks.
Speaker 7: And that was what a big part of this game
Speaker 7: coming up, since a youngster right combined with a power,
Speaker 7: the ability to get on base, the ability to have
Speaker 7: a high batting average. And I related to one thing,
Speaker 7: which is sometimes Muki is looking for base hits and
Speaker 7: we look for base hits. It's a problem. We look
Speaker 7: for just something good to hit. And you work in
Speaker 7: counts and you trust yourself, then you're a guy that's
Speaker 7: gonna find something better to hit and put your best swing.
Speaker 7: When you see Mooki Bets not walking, and it doesn't
Speaker 7: seem like he's chasing a lot, right, It's just he's
Speaker 7: making a lot of early on balls that are not
Speaker 7: even hit hard.
Speaker 8: But when Mooki goes deeper.
Speaker 7: Into the counts, as we saw member last postseason, I mean,
Speaker 7: against very tough relievers. He was clearly getting a couple
Speaker 7: of key walks Duran Durand for example, you know, against
Speaker 7: the Phillies, that's when he's at his best. But I
Speaker 7: think right now, Dave, he fights himself a lot and
Speaker 7: who he is today as a player, who he was,
Speaker 7: and who he wants to become. So this islam more like, hey,
Speaker 7: whatever it was in the past, let it go, but
Speaker 7: whoever you are today, trust that there's something more because
Speaker 7: of your intellect and baseball your abilities still that many
Speaker 7: hitters would like to have. But don't make so many
Speaker 7: early outs because how many tenses are that somebody throws
Speaker 7: four strikes in a row?
Speaker 8: Very little in the big leagues.
Speaker 7: If you look at the quadrant in the strike zone itself,
Speaker 7: it's like two percent for anybody, right, the other outs
Speaker 7: are made by you chasing, so for Mooki and you
Speaker 7: also don't want to get into a situation where you're
Speaker 7: chasing walks.
Speaker 8: That's also bad. But there's a fine line between knowing
Speaker 8: that you know.
Speaker 7: The well, give yourself enough credit to know that the
Speaker 7: watch need to.
Speaker 8: Be part of your game, all right.
Speaker 4: The flip side, his double play partner tonight. Tommy Edmund
Speaker 4: has been out of this world ever since he came
Speaker 4: off the IL. Do you feel like he had time
Speaker 4: to work on something, because you've heard this. When you're
Speaker 4: injured and you're coming back from an injury or a surgery,
Speaker 4: you don't have time to focus on baseball. So what
Speaker 4: Edmund is doing is even more remarkable.
Speaker 8: Very impressive.
Speaker 7: And I've talked to Tommy about this, and one thing
Speaker 7: that's happening is his landing foot is solid. Now he
Speaker 7: doesn't have to think about it when you're landing foot
Speaker 7: because the ankle issues that he has since.
Speaker 8: King from Saint Louis are not there.
Speaker 7: Then the ball's gonna move, your eyes are gonna move,
Speaker 7: and all those things just start, you know, accumulating for
Speaker 7: you to think, Okay, now who am I and I
Speaker 7: need to go out to and find base sits. But
Speaker 7: for Tommy, the one thing he notices he doesn't overswing.
Speaker 7: If he's first, second, and third, fourth, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 7: He's the same guy. But I think the mentality is
Speaker 7: one where he goes, hey, there are certain guys where
Speaker 7: I want to jump early and get that fastball to
Speaker 7: hit other guys. He's going to work to look for
Speaker 7: a pitch. So how many guys do you know that
Speaker 7: when they see a guy that throws a split finger
Speaker 7: says I'm going to turn around about from the right side, Dave,
Speaker 7: that doesn't happen anymore.
Speaker 8: That's the type of mentality. He has to understand himself
Speaker 8: who he is.
Speaker 7: And the interesting thing tire very quickly is last time
Speaker 7: in New York against the Yankees, Fernando Cruz throw predominantly
Speaker 7: what splitters. But he saw the report on him which
Speaker 7: nark splitters are not running away from lefties, they're running
Speaker 7: down hit from the left side, got the long ball,
Speaker 7: got the double.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Did you notice, by the way that Cruiz had a
Speaker 4: photo of his family on the glove And when he
Speaker 4: went to go get checked by the umpires, the umpires said,
Speaker 4: you can't have that. They took the glove away, and
Speaker 4: he was a little bit more indecisive with his splitters.
Speaker 8: One of the players told me that they saw that.
Speaker 7: I saw the glove. You had no idea what it was,
Speaker 7: but I know something legal is down.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, obviously we see them get checked, but
Speaker 4: it doesn't feel like the umpires are really going to
Speaker 4: the extreme limits of doing anything like that these days.
Speaker 7: Watching thing, I thought maybe something sticky was on it.
Speaker 7: So how about Roki's glove? What do you got on that, Jose?
Speaker 7: The glove is not pitching is the ard. That's all
Speaker 7: I have to say about that. Okay, but I like it.
Speaker 7: You know what if guys on the other side are
Speaker 7: thinking that they're not seeing the ball as well coming
Speaker 7: out of his hand, or maybe not tipping a grip
Speaker 7: or two, let it be. If you have a problem,
Speaker 7: check it, Okay, Ose, what do you think it might
Speaker 7: be a mental thing? Right, he's confident now that nobody's uh.
Speaker 7: I think it's just part of the confidence thing.
Speaker 4: But I'm still not ready to make these declarations of
Speaker 4: statements that some of the LA media wants to make
Speaker 4: after every single Rokie start good or bad. Now, all
Speaker 4: of a sudden he's a world beater, But if he
Speaker 4: doesn't pitch well the next time, they're gonna say, oh,
Speaker 4: Rokie's shaky now.
Speaker 7: So I'm not doing that. He's still growing. Remember of
Speaker 7: the glove issue. To Yama multi first outing in spring
Speaker 7: training as a Dodger, there's an issue beel tipping in
Speaker 7: the different.
Speaker 8: Glove and the whole thing. So the gloves are was
Speaker 8: going to be part of it? Moy On, Yeah, Tipping's
Speaker 8: a big part of the game. Now, everybody look for
Speaker 8: little h here and there.
Speaker 4: All right, Hey, maybe you'll catch some pitches from here.
Speaker 4: Maybe Nolan McLean's tipping and you might find.
Speaker 8: It for us. I don't want to get in trouble. Thanks.
Speaker 11: Ose.
Speaker 4: We'll check back in with you and Steven Nelson a
Speaker 4: little bit later. Tim, we'll send it back to you
Speaker 4: in that nice air conditioned Burbank studio.
Speaker 6: Sixty eight degrees and feeling good in here, DV. Thank
Speaker 6: you very much.

Speaker 3: champion Dodgers Audio a network.
Speaker 5: As we were saying, this is Marongo Casino, Dodgers on
Speaker 5: Jack on the official home of La Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 3: It's Dodgers and Mets from Queens City Field, Yoshinoba Yamamoto,
Speaker 3: Nolan McClain.
Speaker 6: The pitching matchup, It's a good one.
Speaker 3: These two squared off against each other back on April fourteenth,
Speaker 3: combined for fifteen strikeouts. Neither got the decision into Dodgers win.
Speaker 3: First pitch coming up at four fifteen Dodgers Baseball brought
Speaker 3: to by Shaky's Pizza Parlor, the official pizza partner of
Speaker 3: the Dodgers Audio broadcast. When it's game night, it's group
Speaker 3: night at shakeys dot com.
Speaker 5: And now what will likely be vassy fielding insults from
Speaker 5: a Dodger player.
Speaker 6: It's an engagement of endearment.
Speaker 1: This is high and tucked.
Speaker 11: Well.
Speaker 4: The best part of Dave Roberts road trip is right now,
Speaker 4: presented by Downey Hunday. We're in the manager's office at
Speaker 4: City Field, Dave Man what a what a great bonding
Speaker 4: experience it's been with you and me for ten days.
Speaker 11: It's been great, Dave.
Speaker 13: You know, best part of my trip is this, you know,
Speaker 13: once a week conversation that you and I have and
Speaker 13: no all kidding aside. It's been a long trip, certainly
Speaker 13: with the All Star Game, but it's been a very
Speaker 13: productive trip. And you know, here we are game two
Speaker 13: here in City Field, so we got Yamamoto going so
Speaker 13: excited to get this one going.
Speaker 4: Just to put it into context, to fully appreciate what
Speaker 4: you guys pulled off in the last forty eight to
Speaker 4: seventy two hours. Three cities within forty eight hours, and
Speaker 4: you come to City Field against a Mets team that's
Speaker 4: going to give you their best shot and you pull
Speaker 4: off a win. How impressed and proud are you of
Speaker 4: your guys to come out and show up the way
Speaker 4: they did last night?
Speaker 11: Really really proud.
Speaker 13: Obviously, you know, having to take the trip to DC
Speaker 13: a lot of guys, so that was our off day,
Speaker 13: and to come back late at night to then play
Speaker 13: the way we did last night to get a win,
Speaker 13: and obviously Rookie was fantastic, But you know, it's one
Speaker 13: of those things where you know, starting the break and
Speaker 13: the Yankees are trying to give us, are giving us
Speaker 13: their best, the Philly same and to win two series there,
Speaker 13: and then you know, the Mets haven't played up to
Speaker 13: their capabilities, but they're still going to go out there
Speaker 13: and give us their best, and we got their best
Speaker 13: starter going tonight, so we got to work, you know,
Speaker 13: our hands full tonight. But yeah, for the way we've played,
Speaker 13: died and it seems like every night there's somebody else
Speaker 13: that steps up and helps lead us to a victory.
Speaker 11: So that's been fun to watch for you.
Speaker 8: And having Yamamoto on the mound tonight.
Speaker 11: What do you.
Speaker 4: Believe he has done to take his game to the
Speaker 4: next level after coming off a World Series MVP, a
Speaker 4: cy Young A finalist, how has he gotten better this year?
Speaker 13: I think if I could say one thing, I would
Speaker 13: probably say his efficiency. I think that you know, there's
Speaker 13: pitchers in our league that can be good for five
Speaker 13: in but they don't have enough bullets left to go six,
Speaker 13: or they're good for six and don't have enough bullets
Speaker 13: to go into the seventh inning. But I think Yamamoto
Speaker 13: has done a much better job of these last couple
Speaker 13: of years about being efficient and given himself a chance
Speaker 13: to get into that seventh inning.
Speaker 4: Dave, the one thing I've heard about Yamamoto this year
Speaker 4: is that he has become better prepared, studying the hitters,
Speaker 4: understanding what he can do against certain guys, and that
Speaker 4: has given him a lot more conviction on the mound.
Speaker 4: Do you feel like that has led to his dominance
Speaker 4: this season?
Speaker 11: I do? I do.
Speaker 13: I think in the first couple of years it was
Speaker 13: more of that trustfall and not knowing the league, not
Speaker 13: knowing the hitters, and trying to depend on the catchers
Speaker 13: and the coaches. But you know, as he's had more
Speaker 13: at bats with guys than he can kind of get
Speaker 13: his own thoughts, and then you layer that in with
Speaker 13: the game planning, and then it's really more concrete. I
Speaker 13: do think that the experience that he's had in our
Speaker 13: league is made him even better.
Speaker 8: Is it fair to compare him that he may be?
Speaker 4: Obviously these two guys are Hall of famers, But is
Speaker 4: he a mixture of Greg maddicks and Pedro Martinez? Do
Speaker 4: you see those characteristics?
Speaker 13: I see both in different ways. I think I see
Speaker 13: the command the studying with Greg maddox, I see the
Speaker 13: different pitches that Pedro had the killer, but Greg was
Speaker 13: a killer as well. Yeah, you know it's like there's
Speaker 13: a there's a little bit of Bulldogs or hersh eyes
Speaker 13: that there's a little bit of John Smoltz with the command.
Speaker 11: You know, he's you know, there's a.
Speaker 13: Lot of great pitchers that he's got a lot of
Speaker 13: those character traits.
Speaker 4: Manager Dave Roberts is our guest. It's the Manager's Meeting
Speaker 4: presented by Downey Hyundai. All right, when you look at
Speaker 4: your team, you start to get some players back, Dave,
Speaker 4: And when the Dodgers would turn home, Keith a Hernandez
Speaker 4: was pretty confident that he'll be back with the team.
Speaker 4: Do you feel like on the upcoming homestand Edwin Diaz
Speaker 4: and keiy K will add even more talent to your roster?
Speaker 13: I think right now very confident. Key K's playing through
Speaker 13: the weekend with this OKAC team and the expectations he'll
Speaker 13: be back with us on Tuesday, And the expectation with
Speaker 13: Edwin is he's going to throw tomorrow and then he'll
Speaker 13: be back available with us on Wednesday night. So yeah,
Speaker 13: we're starting to become whole. And you know, Blake Snell
Speaker 13: just do last night, So he'll pitch next week for
Speaker 13: four innings and then you know, hopefully shortly after that,
Speaker 13: you know he'll be back, you know, coming back to.
Speaker 11: Us as well.
Speaker 4: And with those guys that have missed the majority of
Speaker 4: the season, do you think adding those guys helps the
Speaker 4: guys that have been grinding all season long, gives them
Speaker 4: a little extra something?
Speaker 13: I think so, you know, it's kind of, you know,
Speaker 13: recharges us. And I think that you saw that a
Speaker 13: little bit with Key K when he came back and
Speaker 13: he just gave us a shot in the arm and
Speaker 13: then he heard the oblique.
Speaker 11: But you know, that's what he's going to do.
Speaker 13: And obviously when you get your closer back, that's going
Speaker 13: to do a lot for the bullpen. And when you
Speaker 13: get a guy like Blake Snow who's won two side youngs,
Speaker 13: that's certainly going to make your rotation your team much
Speaker 13: better as well.
Speaker 4: Earlier on this road trip, I got to go back
Speaker 4: in time with some of the things that have stood
Speaker 4: out to me, and the last game of the series
Speaker 4: in Philadelphia. Managers don't usually go out to exchange lineup cards,
Speaker 4: but you and Don manningly went out there to exchange
Speaker 4: lineup cards in Philadelphia. Two umpires that have been in
Speaker 4: the league a long time, Brian O Noorra and Las Diaz.
Speaker 4: It's their final season. Where did that was that? A?
Speaker 4: Was that the reason why you went out there and
Speaker 4: bu What did that mean for you to, you know,
Speaker 4: just salute those guys.
Speaker 11: Yeah, so it was kind of organic.
Speaker 13: I go out there every first game of every series,
Speaker 13: That's kind of what I do, and then this one
Speaker 13: I went out for the first and then the last one.
Speaker 13: I just wanted to send those guys off. I know
Speaker 13: we'll see Las again, and I think Brian is going
Speaker 13: to get some type of procedure done, so I think
Speaker 13: that that was going to be his last game, you know,
Speaker 13: first career. So I think that Donnie knew that as well.
Speaker 13: So it was great for us to, you know, send
Speaker 13: them off. And you know, umpires are scrutinized every single
Speaker 13: night just like managers are, and they do a great job.
Speaker 11: They do the best they can.
Speaker 13: So you know, for two guys that have done it
Speaker 13: for as long as they have, I got nothing but
Speaker 13: respect for him.
Speaker 4: I've seen you before have interactions with certain umpires.
Speaker 8: Dan Bellino seems to be a very.
Speaker 4: Friendly Dave Roberts type of umpire as much as you
Speaker 4: can be.
Speaker 13: Yeah, you know what, Dan and I we've had our
Speaker 13: you know, we've had our battles, but he's softened. I
Speaker 13: have nothing but love and respect for him. But I
Speaker 13: have fun with the umpires, and like I said, they
Speaker 13: do the best they can. But we definitely throw our barbs,
Speaker 13: you know, in jes tongue in cheek.
Speaker 11: Have a lot of fun with those guys.
Speaker 4: All right, before I let you go, Since we're talking
Speaker 4: about umpires, we are almost at the end of the
Speaker 4: regular season here, almost into August. How do you believe
Speaker 4: the abs challenging has worked out so far for the
Speaker 4: teams but also for the umpires.
Speaker 13: Well, I think in total, I think for the game
Speaker 13: it's been great. I think I can't speak to the teams.
Speaker 13: I can speak to our team where I think that
Speaker 13: there's opportunities to get better and pick times of the
Speaker 13: right times, leverage times to do it. But I think
Speaker 13: that and I think that it's been good for the umpires.
Speaker 13: I think that no one likes to be embarrassed, and
Speaker 13: you know, when you have the opportunity to potentially challenge,
Speaker 13: it does make their focus a little bit more heightened,
Speaker 13: and that's good for the game. And it's no you know,
Speaker 13: I'm not trying to bang or knock mpires, but I
Speaker 13: do think so overall, nets it's a huge win for us.
Speaker 8: And it also proves that they're pretty good at their job.
Speaker 13: They are, they are, and I think that's something it's
Speaker 13: hard to kind of appreciate. You know, you're talking about
Speaker 13: ninety three, ninety four mon hours sliders, cutters and one
Speaker 13: hundred and five mile an hour fastballs that certain guys
Speaker 13: are throwing up there. It's like and now you're talking
Speaker 13: about missing a half an inch an inch and it
Speaker 13: ain't easy. But like I said, they're doing the best
Speaker 13: they can. They do a pretty good job.
Speaker 8: All right, Dave, thanks a lot for the time.
Speaker 4: I've had a great time in joining the East Coast
Speaker 4: with you, and we'll have a happy flight home tomorrow.
Speaker 11: Let's do it, Dave.
Speaker 4: There he is the man, the manager, three time World
Speaker 4: Series manager, Dave Roberts. And it's all brought to you
Speaker 4: by our friends at Downey Hunday.

Speaker 3: Only making his twenty first start, he pitched in the
Speaker 3: WBC sinker four seam fastball, sweeper, curveball.
Speaker 6: That curveball. It's one of the best in baseball.
Speaker 3: It's got the highest average RPM of any pitcher in
Speaker 3: the big leagues. He gets a thirty nine percent whiff
Speaker 3: rate on it, and the hitters are just one to
Speaker 3: eighteen against the curve. He has completed at least six
Speaker 3: innings in each of his last six starts last time out,
Speaker 3: six shutout innings, two hits, ten strikeouts on a win

Speaker 2: getting ready for the first pitch of Game two in
Speaker 2: this three game series for the Dodgers and Mets. The
Speaker 2: Dodgers trying to back up last night's win and clinch
Speaker 2: this series, as they will throw out Yoshinobu Yamamoto opposite
Speaker 2: Nolan McClain. This is the best schedule pitching matchup of
Speaker 2: the series with respect to the other starters we have seen.
Speaker 2: But Yoshinobu Yamamoto last week in New York against the
Speaker 2: Yankees was utterly brilliant. I mean, his first complete game
Speaker 2: in the regular season. Obviously, it did it a couple
Speaker 2: of times un route to the World Series last year, Jose,
Speaker 2: But any chance you get to watch Yoshinoba Yamamoto go
Speaker 2: to work, it's a trick.
Speaker 7: Quietly, he just has built himself into the most dependable
Speaker 7: starter in baseball for this reason. Nine times he's down
Speaker 7: one hundred pitches or more, he's thrown five innings at least,
Speaker 7: and every single start eight times, Steve and he's gone
Speaker 7: seven plus innings. And then on top of that is
Speaker 7: not like the pitches accumulate you have to be worried about. Wow,
Speaker 7: I'm gonna get him out of there. In the fifth inning,
Speaker 7: he finds a way in which, if he's not economical early,
Speaker 7: he induces a ground ball. That's a great combination. He's
Speaker 7: thrown more strikes. One of the issues last year was
Speaker 7: what has happened between you know Yamamoto in the first
Speaker 7: three innings or he issued most of his walks. That's
Speaker 7: been eliminated and when he needs to push you off
Speaker 7: the side.
Speaker 11: Great.
Speaker 7: But now the one thing that I know is working
Speaker 7: the best for him, fast poles down on the zone
Speaker 7: because he's a dark thrower. The opponent's rating one hundred against.
Speaker 7: Are you going to tell me downstairs doesn't work anymore?
Speaker 13: Oh?
Speaker 8: Yes it does.
Speaker 2: The last ten starts for Yema Motor just his ten
Speaker 2: game sample size, and that includes the turn against Arizona
Speaker 2: in which he gave up a high and six earned
Speaker 2: runs opponents ops combined in the last ten starts, four
Speaker 2: seventy five. That's the ops against Yamamoto. Just to illustrate
Speaker 2: and underscore how dominant he has been. He has ascended
Speaker 2: to a status not just on this step but across
Speaker 2: the league. On the other side, it's Nolan McClain, rookie
Speaker 2: right handed for the Met's got a taste of the
Speaker 2: big leagues last year and eight starts, and he was
Speaker 2: dominant and pitched for Team USA in the World Baseball Classic.
Speaker 2: And he has been really good this year. Is right
Speaker 2: three point three four. He's had three blow up outings,
Speaker 2: but outside of those, he's been hard to touch.
Speaker 7: He's got six or seven pitches he's gonna use every
Speaker 7: single one of them, but he depends more of that
Speaker 7: slider that breaks about eighteen inches, the best among any
Speaker 7: starter in baseball. The Dodgers got to him early last
Speaker 7: time they saw him back then at the Unicolfield Dowers
Speaker 7: Stadium because of the first ending, he was just not
Speaker 7: there yet. But after that it's one of those games
Speaker 7: where a guy like this, with so many pitches Steven
Speaker 7: narrowed down to one or two. Don't look for anything
Speaker 7: or anticipate tendencies. Don't look for anything else beyond breaks
Speaker 7: or anything like that. Just look in one zone, stay
Speaker 7: with it, and when he makes a mistake, sure that
Speaker 7: you don't put your best swing that means home run,
Speaker 7: put your best swing that means hard contact.
Speaker 2: This is a rematch tim of the starting pitching matchup
Speaker 2: that we saw back on April fourteenth in La Young
Speaker 2: Moto against mcclaim. The Dodgers ultimately won that game two
Speaker 2: to one. Neither starter factored into the decision, as Kyle
Speaker 2: Tucker got the game winning RBI late in the game
Speaker 2: off Brooks Raley. So it's Game two for the Dodgers
Speaker 2: and Mets. It gets going shortly, we'll send it back
Speaker 2: to you.
Speaker 6: All right, thank you, Nelly, as we lead you up
Speaker 6: to first pitch.
Speaker 3: We got first pitch next, that's right, Dodgers and Mets,
Speaker 3: Game two of.
Speaker 6: This three game series.
