Dodgers seventy four 0:00:49.200 --> 0:00:51.920 and fifty one on this season first place a top 0:00:51.960 --> 0:00:55.200 the NL West, but their lead is now seven in 0:00:55.280 --> 0:00:57.920 the division after a four and three homestand I saw 0:00:57.920 --> 0:01:00.360 the Dodgers sweep the Kansas City Royals, but they drop 0:01:00.440 --> 0:01:02.120 three of four to the Milwaukee Brewers. 0:01:02.360 --> 0:01:04.880 They now head to Denver for a three game series. 0:01:04.880 --> 0:01:07.479 Blake Snell on the mound in the series opener, first 0:01:07.480 --> 0:01:10.120 pitch from Corsefield is coming up at five point forty. 0:01:10.400 --> 0:01:11.160 Between then and. 0:01:11.120 --> 0:01:13.319 Now, we got a lot to cover here on Marongo 0:01:13.360 --> 0:01:15.480 Casino Dodgers on deck. You are going to hear for 0:01:15.560 --> 0:01:18.360 the Dodger manager Dave Roberts, who was not too happy 0:01:18.400 --> 0:01:20.160 with the way his team's been playing on the last 0:01:20.160 --> 0:01:22.200 home stand.

He'll go one 0:01:26.880 --> 0:01:29.480 on one with Dodger reliever Evan Phillips. Coming up in 0:01:29.520 --> 0:01:32.199 forty five minutes, we got your Dodgers magical moment. Charlie 0:01:32.240 --> 0:01:35.440 Steinders stops by. Shortly we'll visit with Kirsten Watson from 0:01:35.560 --> 0:01:38.080 Sports Net LA, and in just a few minutes we 0:01:38.160 --> 0:01:40.680 will check in with Tim Neverett and Rick Monday out 0:01:40.720 --> 0:01:43.920 the Galloping Ford Broadcast booth. Well, yesterday the Dodgers were 0:01:43.920 --> 0:01:46.200 trying to get the sweep or the split with the 0:01:46.280 --> 0:01:50.440 Milwaukee Brewers. Unfortunately, they ran into Logan Henderson, who went 0:01:50.560 --> 0:01:54.200 seven innings allowed just a one run on three hits. 0:01:54.280 --> 0:01:57.280 The Dodgers offense was not very good in the series 0:01:57.320 --> 0:02:01.040 against Milwaukee, and yesterday they struggled the street together hits. Meanwhile, 0:02:01.080 --> 0:02:03.720 Terrek Scooble got the start for the Dodgers. He goes 0:02:03.760 --> 0:02:06.880 six innings, two runs, seven hits, seven strikeouts. Didn't get 0:02:06.960 --> 0:02:09.040 the defensive help he was looking for. That started in 0:02:09.120 --> 0:02:11.560 the second inning on a ground ball field, there's choice 0:02:11.600 --> 0:02:14.519 and air officially on Tommy edmonted second that brought in 0:02:14.639 --> 0:02:16.400 the first run of the game, as Milwaukee had a 0:02:16.440 --> 0:02:18.960 one to nothing lead. Fast forward to the fourth, the 0:02:19.000 --> 0:02:21.560 Dodgers looking for some offense and they found it in 0:02:21.680 --> 0:02:22.239 Max Munsey. 0:02:22.919 --> 0:02:25.320 Man given the situation, let alone the pitch that was 0:02:25.360 --> 0:02:27.600 awful monthly, on the very next pitch flies one to 0:02:27.639 --> 0:02:29.440 deep right field, carrying. 0:02:29.120 --> 0:02:31.200 Back Man it is gone. 0:02:32.120 --> 0:02:35.880 Max Monsey ties the game with a two out solo 0:02:36.040 --> 0:02:40.880 home run, and man with the most home runs in 0:02:40.919 --> 0:02:44.640 the history of this ballpark, adds to that tally and 0:02:44.800 --> 0:02:46.000 resets the ballgame. 0:02:49.000 --> 0:02:50.840 Oh but that's going to be a spark for this 0:02:50.960 --> 0:02:53.720 Dodger ball club. They need a spark and they need 0:02:53.720 --> 0:02:54.320 it quickly. 0:02:54.560 --> 0:02:56.760 And they got that spark from Max Mounsey his twenty 0:02:56.760 --> 0:02:59.240 fourth home run of the season, number two thirty three 0:02:59.280 --> 0:03:02.519 as a dodger Is seventh since the All Star Break. However, 0:03:02.840 --> 0:03:04.960 that tie game in a one didn't last very long. 0:03:05.080 --> 0:03:07.160 Top half of the fifth inning, Jake Bowers, with two 0:03:07.160 --> 0:03:09.639 outs bloop single to write that gave the Brewers a 0:03:09.680 --> 0:03:12.360 two to one lead. In the seventh, the Dodgers bullpen 0:03:12.440 --> 0:03:14.839 gave it up and Guardo and Riquez got the first 0:03:14.919 --> 0:03:17.600 two outs, and then it turned into a two out 0:03:17.680 --> 0:03:20.440 rally for the Brewers. They scored two more runs take 0:03:20.480 --> 0:03:22.359 a four to one lead. They attacked on two more 0:03:22.400 --> 0:03:24.600 on a ninth inning air from Tommy Emmon. 0:03:24.680 --> 0:03:27.160 It was a six to one Brewers lead. Bottom of 0:03:27.160 --> 0:03:27.760 the ninth inning. 0:03:27.840 --> 0:03:30.920 The Dodgers didn't manage to get one more back, so 0:03:31.040 --> 0:03:31.560 three of the. 0:03:31.480 --> 0:03:34.359 Four games the starting pitchers had done exactly what you're 0:03:34.400 --> 0:03:36.720 talking about. Give your ball club a chance to win. 0:03:38.440 --> 0:03:41.120 Paz hits one high in the ear to deep left field. 0:03:41.160 --> 0:03:43.680 This ball's carrying back in it is gone. A home 0:03:43.760 --> 0:03:47.560 run for Randy Pajes, a three to two pitch from 0:03:47.640 --> 0:03:49.640 d L Hall, and it's now six to two. 0:03:51.160 --> 0:03:54.400 Andy Pijes with a solo home run in the ninth inning, 0:03:54.400 --> 0:03:57.000 his twenty first of the season. But it wasn't gonna 0:03:57.040 --> 0:03:58.840 be enough. The Dodgers go on and fall to the 0:03:58.840 --> 0:04:03.000 Brewers two. As the Dodgers yesterday had a couple of 0:04:03.000 --> 0:04:05.680 opportunities late. They had first and third eighth inning show 0:04:05.680 --> 0:04:08.120 hey Otani, though grind it into a double play. The 0:04:08.200 --> 0:04:12.720 Brewers scored sixteen runs in this series, compared to the Dodgers, 0:04:12.800 --> 0:04:16.679 who outscored ten to three in the final two games 0:04:16.720 --> 0:04:19.240 of the series. Justin Robuski was placed on the il. 0:04:19.279 --> 0:04:22.280 That was also bad news yesterday. Logan Hinterson the win, 0:04:22.440 --> 0:04:24.880 Trek schoobl to the loss. Schooble now zero to two 0:04:24.920 --> 0:04:27.799 and three starts since coming over at the trade deadline 0:04:27.800 --> 0:04:30.400 from Detroit. Dodgers dropped three of four to Milwaukee. They 0:04:30.440 --> 0:04:32.640 lose the season series. They go four and three on 0:04:32.680 --> 0:04:35.080 the home stand. The Dodgers they dropped eleven of their 0:04:35.160 --> 0:04:38.600 last sixteen. Dave Roberts not too happy after the game yesterday. 0:04:38.880 --> 0:04:40.880 First pitch though from Denver, as they look to turn 0:04:40.920 --> 0:04:42.880 the page. Coming up at five poin forty as they 0:04:42.920 --> 0:04:46.719 start a brand news series three games against the Colorado Rockies. 0:04:46.880 --> 0:04:48.960 Maybe it's a get right series for the Dodgers. We'll 0:04:48.960 --> 0:04:50.800 find out with more. Let's head out to the Galloping 0:04:50.839 --> 0:04:53.760 Ford Broadcast booth. As we welcome in Tim Neberdy Rick Monday. 0:04:53.760 --> 0:04:55.719 Guys, Tim, thank you very much. 0:04:55.800 --> 0:04:58.560 This is a beautiful, warm evening here in the Rocky 0:04:58.600 --> 0:05:01.719 Mountains in down town, Denver, the lower portion of it 0:05:01.760 --> 0:05:05.880 at Coors Field, as the Dodgers and the Colorado Rockies 0:05:05.920 --> 0:05:08.400 gets set to begin a three game set. The Dodgers 0:05:08.760 --> 0:05:11.960 start the night seven up on the San Diego Padres 0:05:12.400 --> 0:05:16.200 seventy four and fifty one. Meantime, the Rockies fifty and 0:05:16.279 --> 0:05:19.239 seventy four in the basement of the National League West, 0:05:19.600 --> 0:05:23.720 twenty three and a half games behind the Dodgers. Tomoyuki 0:05:23.800 --> 0:05:26.320 Sugano will get the start tonight. He's twelve and five. 0:05:26.480 --> 0:05:28.880 The Rockies have had anybody who's had any success this year, 0:05:28.920 --> 0:05:33.279 it's been Sugano, and he will oppose left hander Blake Snell. 0:05:33.400 --> 0:05:36.680 Snell makes his second start since coming off the injured list. 0:05:36.720 --> 0:05:38.480 He was very good last time out, and he's been 0:05:38.560 --> 0:05:42.720 very good against the Rockies in his career. Otani will 0:05:42.720 --> 0:05:45.000 be back at the top of the lineup and Freeman 0:05:45.080 --> 0:05:48.599 batting second. The lineup looks rather familiar mode, but it's 0:05:48.640 --> 0:05:50.680 been three things that have been an issue for the 0:05:50.720 --> 0:05:53.200 Dodgers in recent days that you can point at, and 0:05:53.200 --> 0:05:55.279 that's offense, defense, and pitching. 0:05:55.400 --> 0:05:57.560 Yeah, other than that has been fine. The pitching has 0:05:57.560 --> 0:05:59.960 been holding up. The book been's been doing a better 0:06:00.160 --> 0:06:03.520 jobs as we progress. But you know, the times are 0:06:03.520 --> 0:06:06.320 difficult right now. Dodgers have lost eleven of the last 0:06:06.360 --> 0:06:09.719 sixteen in that period of time, averaging just under three 0:06:09.760 --> 0:06:11.599 and a half runs a ballgame. And they missed a 0:06:11.640 --> 0:06:15.719 golden opportunity in that four game series against the Milwaukee Brewers, 0:06:16.200 --> 0:06:19.120 so they not only lost three out of the four, 0:06:19.200 --> 0:06:21.520 but also they lost the tie breaker to the Brewers, 0:06:21.520 --> 0:06:25.880 which could have postseason ramification. So the Dodgers have they 0:06:25.880 --> 0:06:28.240 have to tighten the belt. I agree with you. It's 0:06:28.360 --> 0:06:31.840 not just one area. It's just about every area. It's 0:06:31.920 --> 0:06:35.000 encompassed into the losses that they've had recently. And if 0:06:35.000 --> 0:06:37.280 we put in perspective, you know, this is game number 0:06:37.279 --> 0:06:40.120 one hundred and twenty six, so seventy seven percent of 0:06:40.160 --> 0:06:43.279 the season has already been played, and Fellows, this is 0:06:43.320 --> 0:06:45.400 a great time to start a winning stream. 0:06:45.640 --> 0:06:47.440 And you know as well as anybody, you went through 0:06:47.480 --> 0:06:50.440 the battles as a player for better than nineteen years 0:06:50.440 --> 0:06:52.599 if you count your time outside of the major leagues. 0:06:52.640 --> 0:06:56.000 But you can't just flip the switch in baseball and say, Okay, 0:06:56.000 --> 0:06:57.839 it's time to win now. You've got to find a 0:06:57.880 --> 0:06:59.560 way to change the approach. 0:07:00.120 --> 0:07:00.240 You know. 0:07:00.279 --> 0:07:02.599 The one thing that Dave Roberts has talked about saying, look, 0:07:02.960 --> 0:07:05.560 you know, the approaches at the plate have not been 0:07:05.600 --> 0:07:08.599 the same. Guys aren't taking as many walks, not getting 0:07:08.600 --> 0:07:09.400 as many base runs. 0:07:09.520 --> 0:07:11.840 Yeah, I think first of all, the preparation is there. 0:07:11.880 --> 0:07:14.240 These guys are working hard. We see that end of it. 0:07:14.520 --> 0:07:18.320 They're working hard each and every day. But the game 0:07:18.360 --> 0:07:20.720 plans are there. I just don't think they're able to 0:07:20.800 --> 0:07:25.120 execute right now on a competitive basis those game plans. 0:07:25.120 --> 0:07:28.240 So we're seeing our first question is for hitters, are 0:07:28.280 --> 0:07:31.480 you swinging at good pinches to begin with, especially early 0:07:31.560 --> 0:07:33.040 in the count? And I thought that was one of 0:07:33.080 --> 0:07:35.760 the issues that they had in dropping three of those 0:07:35.800 --> 0:07:39.960 four against the Brewers pitch selection that they were offering. 0:07:39.640 --> 0:07:41.560 It and playing here in Denver. 0:07:41.680 --> 0:07:43.680 People say, well, it's a great place to get right, 0:07:43.760 --> 0:07:47.000 that's a huge outfield. The ball carries well here. But 0:07:47.200 --> 0:07:48.960 as you and I both know, we both have seen 0:07:49.000 --> 0:07:51.080 a lot of ball games in this ballpark. It doesn't 0:07:51.120 --> 0:07:54.320 matter who's wearing the Rockies' uniforms. The two toughest innings 0:07:54.320 --> 0:07:56.760 typically are the eighth and ninth because they just never 0:07:56.880 --> 0:07:57.200 quit here. 0:07:57.240 --> 0:07:57.400 Yeah. 0:07:57.640 --> 0:07:59.480 I think the other part too, is awareness coming in. 0:08:00.040 --> 0:08:02.440 You're looking at Sigano. He's a ground ball pitcher and 0:08:02.520 --> 0:08:06.000 the ground ball batting average against him is very poor. 0:08:06.160 --> 0:08:09.080 So what are the Dodgers going to do? They're gonna 0:08:09.120 --> 0:08:12.840 have to have better selection of pitches. These guys understand. 0:08:12.960 --> 0:08:14.520 Is not just one guy that can all of a 0:08:14.560 --> 0:08:17.640 sudden turn things around. This is a joint effort and 0:08:18.440 --> 0:08:21.239 no better time than tonight. Game one is very brief 0:08:21.280 --> 0:08:22.200 three game road trip. 0:08:22.280 --> 0:08:24.239 Tell me Yoki Sogano for the Rockies. 0:08:24.280 --> 0:08:27.440 The right hander facing Dodgers left deep Blake Snell, Rockies 0:08:27.480 --> 0:08:30.240 and Dodgers coming up from coursefield, Tim all. 0:08:30.160 --> 0:08:31.880 Right, thank you very much, as we count you down 0:08:31.920 --> 0:08:34.040 to first pitch on this Monday, Dodger fans, get that 0:08:34.080 --> 0:08:37.360 game day meal on Shaky's Pizza parlor or your Shaky's 0:08:37.360 --> 0:08:41.160 pizza shaking and Mojo's right now, he's Shaky's dot Com 0:08:41.200 --> 0:08:43.400 coming up here on Dodgers on deck before first pitch, 0:08:43.480 --> 0:08:45.960 David Bassego's high and tight with Evan Phillips.

As the Dodgers fell to the Brewers 0:10:04.400 --> 0:10:06.000 yesterday by final all four to one. 0:10:06.400 --> 0:10:10.240 This is Kirston's corner with Kirston Watson. 0:10:10.520 --> 0:10:12.600 Hey, Kirston now joins us for the Mile High City, 0:10:12.640 --> 0:10:14.360 brought to you by Cars for Kids.

That's Cars with 0:10:21.440 --> 0:10:24.079 a K. If hitting an offense were only as easy 0:10:24.080 --> 0:10:26.400 as donating your car to Cars for Kids, well, the 0:10:26.440 --> 0:10:28.720 Dodgers will have a better offense right now because they're 0:10:28.800 --> 0:10:29.640 really struggling. 0:10:30.559 --> 0:10:33.400 Yeah, if it could only be so easy. It's been 0:10:33.400 --> 0:10:36.480 a tough ride for this offense as of late. I mean, 0:10:36.679 --> 0:10:39.360 and it's tricky because in the Royal Series to start 0:10:39.400 --> 0:10:41.800 the homestand they were excellent, They were really good with 0:10:41.880 --> 0:10:44.480 runners in scoring position, they were getting things going. Of course, 0:10:44.559 --> 0:10:46.920 you saw the clutch hitting as well, but then you 0:10:47.000 --> 0:10:50.000 have the Brewers series, and yes, you have to sometimes 0:10:50.040 --> 0:10:52.640 tip your cap. They did see some excellent pitching, but 0:10:52.679 --> 0:10:55.959 they were limited entirely in that series. What four hits 0:10:56.000 --> 0:10:58.560 one game, five hits the other only a total of 0:10:58.600 --> 0:11:01.600 three runs. So now it's a matter of how do 0:11:01.640 --> 0:11:04.360 they get back on track in this one. They're playing 0:11:04.360 --> 0:11:07.920 here in Denver, Colorado, where the ball flies due to 0:11:08.000 --> 0:11:10.920 the altitude. It's a massive outfield, so you're more likely 0:11:11.000 --> 0:11:13.640 to get a base hit as well. But Dave Roberts, 0:11:13.679 --> 0:11:16.679 either last night as well as today, he's been talking 0:11:16.760 --> 0:11:19.280 about how when he looks at the offense as a 0:11:19.320 --> 0:11:23.240 collective right now, there's just no consistency to the group, 0:11:23.280 --> 0:11:26.240 and unfortunately you have one through nine that are struggling. 0:11:26.320 --> 0:11:28.480 It's not that they're not working hard to get back 0:11:28.520 --> 0:11:31.559 on track, it's just there's a little bit of that pressing. 0:11:31.600 --> 0:11:33.920 There's a little bit of you know, they're getting behind 0:11:33.960 --> 0:11:36.480 in the counts and that's leading to more strikeouts. Then 0:11:37.360 --> 0:11:38.520 they're not getting on base. 0:11:38.600 --> 0:11:40.280 So you have the walks are. 0:11:40.200 --> 0:11:43.280 Down, the strikeouts are up, the results are not there. 0:11:44.080 --> 0:11:46.360 So the hope is they can use with this matchup 0:11:46.360 --> 0:11:49.440 against Sagano, someone they're very familiar with, someone who does 0:11:49.559 --> 0:11:52.000 give up the long ball. They're hoping that they can 0:11:52.040 --> 0:11:54.560 find ways to get back get to him, but also 0:11:54.720 --> 0:11:58.040 get back to just their true selves as hitters. They 0:11:58.080 --> 0:12:00.679 know how talented they are. They need to stick to 0:12:00.720 --> 0:12:03.200 their approach and stick to their plan and hopefully that 0:12:03.280 --> 0:12:06.439 can allow for just some result and then some runs. 0:12:06.920 --> 0:12:08.800 Also be nice to have Blake Snell do what he 0:12:08.840 --> 0:12:11.120 did last time out, because if he could keep duplicating 0:12:11.120 --> 0:12:13.840 what he did in his return last week, this Dodge's 0:12:13.920 --> 0:12:15.280 rotation will be sitting pretty good. 0:12:15.760 --> 0:12:18.280 Blake was so good in his last time out, and 0:12:18.320 --> 0:12:20.600 it was only his second start of the regular season, 0:12:20.640 --> 0:12:23.400 and if we recall first it was the shoulder irritation 0:12:23.520 --> 0:12:25.920 that he was just working through and fatigue that he 0:12:25.960 --> 0:12:29.200 was working through before joining the team in the regular season. 0:12:29.480 --> 0:12:32.200 Then in that first start, he ultimately had to go 0:12:32.280 --> 0:12:34.520 back on the el to have the loose bodies removed 0:12:34.559 --> 0:12:37.679 in his left elbow. So for him, he was saying 0:12:37.679 --> 0:12:40.600 he took a lot with how he took too long 0:12:40.640 --> 0:12:42.840 to get into the game in his first outing. I 0:12:42.840 --> 0:12:45.160 believe it was against the Braves, if I recall correctly, 0:12:45.200 --> 0:12:48.520 But whereas in this last one against the Royals, from 0:12:48.559 --> 0:12:51.120 the first pitch of the game, he was locked in 0:12:51.360 --> 0:12:53.520 and he was saying just how much he learned from 0:12:53.520 --> 0:12:55.880 that first outing and how he wanted to be in 0:12:55.880 --> 0:12:59.319 a different position and also complimently wanted to kind of 0:12:59.320 --> 0:13:01.120 make up from the time. I'm that he's at lost 0:13:01.120 --> 0:13:03.040 and away from the team and wanting to finally be 0:13:03.040 --> 0:13:05.479 able to be in a position where he can contribute. 0:13:05.640 --> 0:13:08.960 So with that urgency that he is pitching with, the 0:13:09.080 --> 0:13:11.800 hope is that that can translate just to the rest 0:13:11.880 --> 0:13:14.040 of the group as they do look to get back 0:13:14.080 --> 0:13:16.240 on track and hopefully pick up a win today in. 0:13:16.200 --> 0:13:19.240 Colorado, No doubt, tonight's the night it all turns around. Curiously, 0:13:19.320 --> 0:13:20.800 we appreciate It'll check you with you after the game 0:13:20.800 --> 0:13:23.000 is still to come. Here on Marango Casino, Dodgers on 0:13:23.040 --> 0:13:25.560 Deck will dive deeper to this pitching matchup. David Vatsey 0:13:25.640 --> 0:13:27.719 goes one on one with Evan Phillips. But up next 0:13:27.760 --> 0:13:30.440 an injury report, and well here from the manager himself, 0:13:30.559 --> 0:13:33.560 Dave Roberts, what's he gotta say? Dodgers and Rockies first 0:13:33.559 --> 0:13:35.679 pitch in Denver, five forty. I'm Tim Kates with the 0:13:35.679 --> 0:13:38.200 back to back World Series champion Dodgers audio number. 0:13:40.520 --> 0:13:46.679 This is Marongo Casino Dodgers on Deck. On your hope 0:13:46.679 --> 0:13:48.600 for the Blue all season long. 0:13:49.480 --> 0:13:52.200 Morongo Casino Dodgers on Deck continues as we lead you 0:13:52.240 --> 0:13:54.240 up to first page from Denver. It's the Dodgers and 0:13:54.280 --> 0:13:57.040 the Rockies, Marongo Casino Resort and Spy. It's a Grand 0:13:57.080 --> 0:13:59.360 Slam for good times. 0:14:00.120 --> 0:14:04.000 He's the LA Dodgers Injury report Well. 0:14:03.920 --> 0:14:06.920 The Dodgers in Denver, presented by UCLA Healthy, official medical 0:14:06.960 --> 0:14:09.760 partner of the Los Angeles Dodgers. They getting healthy and 0:14:09.880 --> 0:14:12.560 also at the same time not getting healthy. As yesterday, 0:14:12.720 --> 0:14:15.480 Justin Robleski was placed on the injured list with irritation 0:14:15.920 --> 0:14:18.360 in his left forearm. Good news is, Dave Robert said 0:14:18.360 --> 0:14:20.560 after the game yesterday. They're just giving him some rest 0:14:20.560 --> 0:14:23.320 after he carried this Dodger rotation in the first half 0:14:23.320 --> 0:14:26.320 of the season along with Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Dalton Rushing on 0:14:26.360 --> 0:14:28.920 the iel with the elbow injury. Blake Snell pitched in 0:14:28.960 --> 0:14:31.520 Ontario with the Tower Buzzers over the weekend, so he 0:14:31.600 --> 0:14:33.880 is making his way back. Will Smith on the iel 0:14:33.920 --> 0:14:36.320 with the next inflammation, he is hopefully trending in the 0:14:36.360 --> 0:14:38.000 right direction to return in a few weeks. 0:14:38.080 --> 0:14:38.760 Fingers crossed. 0:14:38.880 --> 0:14:41.120 Tyler Glass now is gonna make one more rehab outing 0:14:41.160 --> 0:14:43.680 this week after he made three alreadies, planning to go 0:14:43.680 --> 0:14:46.840 about five innings seventy five pitches. All right, we head 0:14:46.840 --> 0:14:49.080 back out to Denver. Let's get the pregame dot to 0:14:49.120 --> 0:14:51.080 the Dodgers skipperd anything else for Dave? 0:14:51.120 --> 0:14:52.840 Do you think the questions for Dave? 0:14:52.920 --> 0:14:53.080 Dave? 0:14:53.200 --> 0:14:55.040 Can you just describe Dave? 0:14:55.080 --> 0:14:56.960 Can you talk about the pressure. 0:14:57.360 --> 0:15:01.720 In the dugouts with Dave Roberts, Well, first off, it's 0:15:01.720 --> 0:15:08.920 not clutch situations. It's about just collectively having good quality 0:15:08.960 --> 0:15:12.600 of bets. And I think that it's been like I 0:15:12.640 --> 0:15:15.640 said yesterday, it's been quite some time since we've been 0:15:15.720 --> 0:15:20.680 consistent and you know, with our approaches and making adjustments 0:15:20.720 --> 0:15:24.360 in the middle of a game being better with two strikes. 0:15:24.680 --> 0:15:27.840 You know, the chase is up, the swing percentages up, 0:15:28.000 --> 0:15:31.520 the walk percentages down, and so those are things that 0:15:31.520 --> 0:15:34.920 that's just not who we are as an offense. So 0:15:35.720 --> 0:15:38.080 I understand it's a long season. I understand that the 0:15:38.120 --> 0:15:43.440 guys are are preparing and playing hard and trying, but 0:15:43.520 --> 0:15:46.480 the standards for this talent that we have is higher 0:15:46.520 --> 0:15:49.280 and it should be. And so that's what I'm looking for, 0:15:49.480 --> 0:15:50.960 you know, with. 0:15:50.840 --> 0:15:54.400 Our bets individually, I mean, how do you how do 0:15:54.480 --> 0:15:56.960 guys get back to kind of getting to that level 0:15:57.000 --> 0:15:58.880 that they know they can be. Is it's something where 0:15:58.920 --> 0:16:01.000 you're seeing that you maybe just kind of the time 0:16:01.080 --> 0:16:03.800 of the season, do you think, I guess what is 0:16:03.800 --> 0:16:05.680 it either leading to that and how do you get 0:16:05.720 --> 0:16:06.280 away from that? 0:16:06.480 --> 0:16:09.120 Is it even possible that Well, it's possible, And I 0:16:09.160 --> 0:16:14.960 think that it's it's about having a clear plan approach 0:16:15.400 --> 0:16:18.920 for that starter, that pitcher and sticking to it. And 0:16:18.960 --> 0:16:23.120 I think that, you know, that's something that I see 0:16:23.200 --> 0:16:28.000 us kind of changing approaches and as far as you know, 0:16:28.720 --> 0:16:30.960 you just got to have a plan and be consistent 0:16:31.000 --> 0:16:33.680 with that approach. And I think that's kind of and 0:16:33.720 --> 0:16:35.840 be willing to live with the results as opposed to 0:16:36.040 --> 0:16:39.880 kind of chasing your tail in the box, which is 0:16:39.960 --> 0:16:41.080 kind of what I see a little bit of. 0:16:41.400 --> 0:16:43.680 All right, there's a manager, Dave Roberts, expanding on what 0:16:43.720 --> 0:16:47.160 he was talking about yesterday postgame. The approach needs to change, 0:16:47.280 --> 0:16:49.520 at least on the offensive side for this Dodgers team. 0:16:49.680 --> 0:16:51.880 When we continue here, I'm wrong Witho Casino Dodgers on Deck. 0:16:51.880 --> 0:16:54.320 We'll check in with David Vassay. We leads up to 0:16:54.360 --> 0:16:57.280 first pitch, Dodgers and the Rockies. It smells Zilla Day. 0:16:57.320 --> 0:16:59.520 More on that with DV. I'm Tim Kason's the back 0:16:59.520 --> 0:17:05.240 to back Worlds. Here's champion Dodgers on your network. 0:17:05.320 --> 0:17:10.000 As we were saying, this is Marongo Casino Dodgers on 0:17:10.240 --> 0:17:14.760 deck on the official home of La Dodgers Baseball. 0:17:17.600 --> 0:17:21.160 It's the Dodgers and the Rockies. Blake Snell on the Mountain. 0:17:21.160 --> 0:17:23.440 First pitch coming up in five forty. Dodgers Baseball is 0:17:23.440 --> 0:17:25.600 brought to you by our friends at El Poto, born 0:17:25.640 --> 0:17:29.119 in La Made for your game.

Man, If we get the 0:17:48.760 --> 0:17:50.160 Blake Snell we got a week ago. 0:17:50.320 --> 0:17:53.800 Hello, lookout, Oh you're gonna get that guy, Tim. He 0:17:53.920 --> 0:17:57.639 has done really well against the Rockies, going back to 0:17:57.720 --> 0:18:01.600 his time with the Padres, Blake's Nell has pitched twenty 0:18:01.720 --> 0:18:06.880 five consecutive scoreless innings against the Rockies. And to give 0:18:06.920 --> 0:18:09.760 you a peek into his preparation, a couple of days 0:18:09.800 --> 0:18:13.240 ago at Dodger Stadium at his locker, he showed me 0:18:13.520 --> 0:18:17.080 his binder, his scouting report on all these Rockies hitters, 0:18:17.320 --> 0:18:20.360 and he was flipping through the lineup page by page. Yeah, 0:18:20.440 --> 0:18:22.800 I'll do this, go up here, go down there, I'll 0:18:22.840 --> 0:18:26.720 do this. He already had the game plan two days ago, 0:18:27.000 --> 0:18:29.919 and a great departure from let's say a guy like 0:18:30.000 --> 0:18:33.679 Trek Scooble. On start day, Blake Snell showed up in 0:18:33.760 --> 0:18:38.280 the Dodger Clubhouse at about three point fifteen, immediately changed 0:18:38.320 --> 0:18:41.560 into his full uniform with his headphones on. So he's 0:18:41.600 --> 0:18:45.720
