A must-win game to 0:01:11.569 --> 0:01:14.890 extend this series as the Dodgers are down 3-0 to 0:01:14.910 --> 0:01:17.149 the Milwaukee Brewers. Tonight they give the ball to the 0:01:17.350 --> 0:01:20.510 to Tyler Glass now in hopes of jump-starting this Dodgers 0:01:20.550 --> 0:01:23.510 team who need to get things going offensively in Game 0:01:23.510 --> 0:01:26.810 4 tonight. First pitch is coming up at 5.08. Between 0:01:26.850 --> 0:01:28.610 then and now, we've got a lot to get to 0:01:28.650 --> 0:01:31.030 here on Morongo Casino. Dodgers on deck coming up in 0:01:31.050 --> 0:01:31.850 about 15 minutes. 0:01:31.870 --> 0:01:34.400 You're going to hear from the manager himself. Dave Roberts. 0:01:34.420 --> 0:01:37.160 Let's get his pregame thoughts on what his team is thinking, 0:01:37.200 --> 0:01:39.260 how he's feeling, what the lineup is going to look 0:01:39.280 --> 0:01:41.100 like going into this must-win game four. 0:01:41.360 --> 0:01:43.600 We'll check in with David Vassie, of course, throughout the hour. 0:01:43.620 --> 0:01:46.760 DB is going to go one-on-one with Dodger catcher Will Smith, 0:01:46.860 --> 0:01:49.480 who had a big hit last night in what was 0:01:49.580 --> 0:01:53.610 a lackluster offensive performance in game three. Coming up, we'll 0:01:53.650 --> 0:01:57.250 also get your Otani Rewind. Kirsten Watson from Sportsnet LA 0:01:57.310 --> 0:01:59.410 will join us. In just a couple of minutes, we'll 0:01:59.430 --> 0:02:01.530 head over to the Gallup and Ford broadcast booth with 0:02:01.610 --> 0:02:04.610 Rick Munday and Charlie Steiner. Well, last night, it was 0:02:04.670 --> 0:02:06.690 a tough start for the boys in blue, but a 0:02:06.830 --> 0:02:10.269 much worse finish as Blake Snell. 0:02:09.970 --> 0:02:10.750 Got the start. 0:02:10.950 --> 0:02:13.030 And it didn't take long for the Milwaukee Brewers to 0:02:13.050 --> 0:02:15.410 get on the board. First pitch of the game, Jackson 0:02:15.470 --> 0:02:20.680 Churio took Snell deep to right center field. Just like that, 0:02:20.740 --> 0:02:23.520 before the Dodger fans could even sit down, it was 0:02:23.580 --> 0:02:25.899 a 1-0 Milwaukee lead. 0:02:25.940 --> 0:02:27.780 And it remained that way to the second. 0:02:28.100 --> 0:02:30.639 Through the third, through the fourth, through the fifth, as 0:02:30.700 --> 0:02:33.700 Blake Snell settled in. He retired 14 in a row 0:02:33.740 --> 0:02:37.780 at one point. Meanwhile, Robert Gasser, yes, the Robert Gasser, 0:02:37.820 --> 0:02:40.360 had his way with the Dodgers offense, holding him in 0:02:40.400 --> 0:02:43.440 check for five scoreless innings, scattering just three hits along 0:02:43.480 --> 0:02:46.320 the way. Top of the sixth, another zero put up 0:02:46.380 --> 0:02:49.530 on the scoreboard by Blake Snell. Bottom of the sixth inning, 0:02:49.540 --> 0:02:52.470 the Dodgers started to get something going, and they got 0:02:52.510 --> 0:02:55.510 it going thanks to some, well, Bad pitching for the 0:02:55.570 --> 0:02:59.770 Milwaukee Brewers bullpen. Uribe came in, struggled with his command 0:02:59.810 --> 0:03:03.590 last night. He walked to Oscar Hernandez. Kyle Tucker walked. 0:03:03.650 --> 0:03:07.460 First and second, nobody out. Max Muncy struck out. Otani 0:03:07.540 --> 0:03:10.880 walked to load the bases. And that brought up Will Smith. 0:03:12.240 --> 0:03:15.280 This first pitch is a big pitch. Obviously for both 0:03:15.360 --> 0:03:21.020 the pitcher and the hitter. Bases are loaded with one out. 0:03:22.150 --> 0:03:27.310 Uribe to Smith. Fly ball, deep left center field. It's 0:03:27.350 --> 0:03:28.460 way back there. 0:03:28.480 --> 0:03:29.139 At the wall. 0:03:29.200 --> 0:03:32.040 It's off the base of the wall. 0:03:32.139 --> 0:03:35.660 Water on his head. Two runs are in. Smith with 0:03:35.960 --> 0:03:38.180 a double. The Dodgers take the lead 2-1. 0:03:44.870 --> 0:03:45.370 Finally. 0:03:49.170 --> 0:03:52.490 It's not an earthquake, but this stadium is shaking right now. 0:03:53.840 --> 0:03:54.750 Indeed it was. 0:03:54.840 --> 0:03:57.650 Will Smith almost hit a grand slam. Instead, it's a 0:03:57.690 --> 0:04:01.950 two-run double as the Dodgers took a 2-1 lead, and 0:04:01.970 --> 0:04:05.730 they had the momentum. After a pitching change, the Dodgers, though, 0:04:05.790 --> 0:04:08.850 lost the momentum. Runners on second and third one out. 0:04:08.910 --> 0:04:12.020 Kike Hernandez struck out, and Tommy Evans struck out. And 0:04:12.040 --> 0:04:14.580 the threat was over. But the Dodgers grabbed the 2-1 lead. 0:04:14.620 --> 0:04:16.640 Back out to the top of the 7th for Blake Snell. 0:04:17.140 --> 0:04:20.500 He walked the leadoff batter Vaughn. And then after 10 0:04:20.500 --> 0:04:23.960 pitches of fouling things off, a battle between Snell and 0:04:24.000 --> 0:04:24.640 Jake Bowers. 0:04:24.700 --> 0:04:27.120 On the 11th pitch, Bowers would go deep. 0:04:28.020 --> 0:04:31.240 So let's see if Yellich goes. It's a golden opportunity. 0:04:31.279 --> 0:04:34.119 There he goes. Here's the pitch. Fly ball to right. 0:04:34.380 --> 0:04:36.080 And deep. Way back there. 0:04:36.300 --> 0:04:39.680 On its way. And it is gone. A two-run home 0:04:39.740 --> 0:04:45.780 run for Jake Bowers. And the entire Brewer dugout out 0:04:45.839 --> 0:04:48.320 on the field. It's like a little league game. They're 0:04:48.360 --> 0:04:51.950 waiting for their hero to score. And the Dodgers now 0:04:52.050 --> 0:04:56.650 find themselves down 3-2. Jake Bowers on the home run 0:04:56.690 --> 0:04:57.089 to right. 0:04:58.890 --> 0:05:02.530 Jake Bowers with the two-run home run and flipping the 0:05:02.550 --> 0:05:05.950 scoreboard just like that in favor of Milwaukee. But then 0:05:05.990 --> 0:05:09.630 Garrett Mitchell, the pride of UCLA, took Blake Snell deep. 0:05:09.670 --> 0:05:13.240 The very next hitter, back-to-back home runs, and a 2-1 0:05:13.300 --> 0:05:17.120 Dodgers lead quickly turned into a 4-2 Milwaukee lead. They 0:05:17.160 --> 0:05:18.900 would tack on more, and they go on and win 0:05:18.940 --> 0:05:21.260 it by a final of 6-2. A tough loss for 0:05:21.279 --> 0:05:23.640 the Dodgers, who had the momentum, but then it was 0:05:23.680 --> 0:05:26.510 snatched back by the Milwaukee Brewers as they take a 0:05:26.529 --> 0:05:29.170 3-0 series lead tonight. Must win game four for the 0:05:29.210 --> 0:05:32.330 Dodgers to keep this series alive as they send out 0:05:32.390 --> 0:05:33.630 Tyler Glass now to the mound. 0:05:33.650 --> 0:05:34.450 First pitch at 5-0-8. 0:05:34.510 --> 0:05:36.029 And with more, we head over to the Galvin Ford 0:05:36.070 --> 0:05:38.680 broadcast booth as we say hello to Charlie Steiner and 0:05:38.720 --> 0:05:39.140 Rick Munday. 0:05:39.160 --> 0:05:40.800 Guys. All right, Tim. 0:05:40.839 --> 0:05:44.120 Welcome inside the booth and the Last Chance Saloon for 0:05:44.140 --> 0:05:44.820 the Dodgers tonight. 0:05:45.660 --> 0:05:47.660 One win away from elimination. 0:05:47.700 --> 0:05:51.020 Of course, last year, Mo, they wiped out the Brewers 0:05:51.160 --> 0:05:53.560 in four, and now the Brewers have a chance to 0:05:53.620 --> 0:05:59.380 do that against the Dodgers. That eventuality has never happened before, ever. Yeah, 0:05:59.440 --> 0:06:01.260 and the Dodgers want to make sure it does not happen. 0:06:01.400 --> 0:06:03.789 And I think the mindset right now, regardless of what, 0:06:03.810 --> 0:06:06.330 you know, Dave Robertson, the postgame last night, he said 0:06:06.350 --> 0:06:08.510 he would talk to his ball club today, whatever took 0:06:08.529 --> 0:06:10.810 place inside the locker room, but that's going to stay 0:06:10.830 --> 0:06:13.890 in the locker room. Dodgers have to take on the Descents. 0:06:14.390 --> 0:06:16.810 That this is one game. This is a one-game series. 0:06:16.870 --> 0:06:19.770 In order to have tomorrow, they win tonight. That's the mindset. 0:06:20.180 --> 0:06:23.300 And quite frankly, in the first three games of this series, 0:06:23.700 --> 0:06:26.740 the Dodgers have been outplayed in just about every aspect 0:06:26.820 --> 0:06:28.920 of the game. You can talk about the pitching. You 0:06:28.960 --> 0:06:31.339 can talk about the hitting, the base running, the defense. 0:06:31.760 --> 0:06:34.220 From top to bottom, the Dodgers have not played up 0:06:34.260 --> 0:06:35.960 to their capabilities anywhere close to it. 0:06:36.240 --> 0:06:37.780 Offensively, especially. 0:06:37.820 --> 0:06:40.339 The thought was they're coming in with the big muscles 0:06:40.400 --> 0:06:41.440 and 204 home runs, 50 more than Milwaukee. 0:06:44.029 --> 0:06:46.450 And they should have their way with the Brewers. It 0:06:46.870 --> 0:06:48.830 in no way has happened. 0:06:49.190 --> 0:06:51.930 No, and the double last night by Will Smith, just 0:06:52.270 --> 0:06:54.710 only the second extra base hit the Dodgers have hit 0:06:55.170 --> 0:06:57.210 over the first three games of this series. And then 0:06:57.250 --> 0:06:59.120 you start to look, okay, tonight they're going to face 0:06:59.180 --> 0:07:02.900 the left-hander for Milwaukee. Well, the last four games, if 0:07:02.920 --> 0:07:05.020 you go back to that series in Atlanta as well, 0:07:05.420 --> 0:07:08.659 against left-handed pitching, the Dodgers have gone four for 44, 0:07:08.660 --> 0:07:12.559 but the problem is still remaining, Charlie. When they've had 0:07:12.660 --> 0:07:16.000 runners on base and not that many times in scoring position, 0:07:16.360 --> 0:07:18.080 they have just not delivered the mail. 0:07:18.400 --> 0:07:22.310 The Dodgers are 3-32 with runners in scoring position in 0:07:22.370 --> 0:07:25.010 this series. They're on the verge of becoming just the 0:07:25.170 --> 0:07:27.910 second team ever to be held without a home run 0:07:28.310 --> 0:07:31.150 or a stolen base in a best-of-seven series. The only 0:07:31.210 --> 0:07:35.600 other time that happened, 1927, the Pirates against Murderers Row. 0:07:35.620 --> 0:07:39.420 So the Dodgers, again, offense was the key. The pitching 0:07:39.500 --> 0:07:43.260 starting was great. The bullpen was solid, and it just 0:07:43.300 --> 0:07:44.800 has not worked out this way. 0:07:44.880 --> 0:07:47.500 No, and there's been too many advance on the opposing teams. 0:07:47.620 --> 0:07:50.460 The Dodgers, okay, postseason, they're 3 for 32. The other 0:07:50.480 --> 0:07:54.270 teams have gone 10 for 50. 50. And in this series, 0:07:54.310 --> 0:07:57.670 the Dodgers are 2 for 16, a 125 average. What 0:07:57.690 --> 0:08:02.120 about the Brewers? They're 9 for 27. That's batting 333. 0:08:02.110 --> 0:08:05.030 They've had a ton of runners in scoring position. 0:08:05.270 --> 0:08:08.620 An interesting stat on ball one. When the count is 0:08:08.640 --> 0:08:14.190 1-0 in this series... The Dodgers are hitting 200. When 0:08:14.250 --> 0:08:18.310 it's ball one to Milwaukee, they're hitting 353. They get 0:08:18.350 --> 0:08:21.010 ahead in the count, and they make hay. The Dodgers 0:08:21.250 --> 0:08:23.930 have just not been able to put hits together, and 0:08:23.950 --> 0:08:26.730 when they do, they don't score them. 0:08:26.990 --> 0:08:30.450 No, and again, the other part, too, the Brewers, they've 0:08:30.470 --> 0:08:33.650 been sending runners. They have run the bases much, much better. 0:08:33.670 --> 0:08:35.510 Of course, they've been on base more times than that. 0:08:36.010 --> 0:08:38.010 And for the Dodgers, the last time they were swept 0:08:38.070 --> 0:08:41.580 in a best-of-seven series was It's only happened once. That 0:08:41.640 --> 0:08:46.370 was the 1966 World Series against the Baltimore Orioles. 0:08:46.710 --> 0:08:49.350 And so that was a great rotation in Baltimore and 0:08:49.370 --> 0:08:52.349 the Dodgers were wiped out. They had no hitting in 0:08:52.390 --> 0:08:55.890 that series. Dodgers haven't had much hitting in this one either. 0:08:56.390 --> 0:08:59.190 It's going to be Tyler Glasnow today, and then it's 0:08:59.210 --> 0:09:01.970 going to be a bullpen game for Milwaukee, beginning with 0:09:02.030 --> 0:09:02.710 Shane Drohan. 0:09:03.090 --> 0:09:05.450 We'll detail that pitching matchup a little later on. 0:09:06.150 --> 0:09:07.050 All right, thank you, Charlie. 0:09:07.090 --> 0:09:09.240 As we count you down to first pitch, Dodger fans, 0:09:09.670 --> 0:09:10.470 get that game. 0:09:10.270 --> 0:09:12.260 Day meal on at Shakey's Pizza Parlor. 0:09:12.280 --> 0:09:14.819 You can order the Shakey's Pizza, chicken and mojos right 0:09:14.860 --> 0:09:18.760 now at Shakey's.com.

Presented by Mikado Shochu. 0:10:24.610 --> 0:10:27.170 And he lines one into center field for a base hit. 0:10:28.470 --> 0:10:32.410 Two outs, single to center. A good swing for many reasons. 0:10:34.450 --> 0:10:36.990 Shohei Otani had a base hit back up the middle 0:10:37.030 --> 0:10:38.170 last night in the eighth inning. 0:10:38.210 --> 0:10:40.530 Unfortunately, the Dodgers couldn't do anything with it. 0:10:40.570 --> 0:10:42.589 Shohei Otani hopefully starting to heat up here. 0:10:43.090 --> 0:10:43.590 They need him. 0:10:43.870 --> 0:10:45.610 They need to keep this series extended with a win 0:10:45.650 --> 0:10:48.990 tonight in game four.

Donate today, 0:11:05.800 --> 0:11:08.680 your car can be picked up tomorrow. Donate now at carsforkids.org. 0:11:09.020 --> 0:11:11.850 That's cars with a K. All right, it's win or 0:11:11.900 --> 0:11:14.510 go home. And tonight, the Dodgers give the ball to 0:11:14.550 --> 0:11:17.410 Tyler Glasnow with the hopes that he could shut down 0:11:17.450 --> 0:11:18.510 this Brewers offense. 0:11:18.550 --> 0:11:21.910 Meanwhile, the Dodgers offense... Get something going. 0:11:21.970 --> 0:11:24.750 Yeah, you need both sides. Ultimately, it's going to be 0:11:25.270 --> 0:11:27.449 all hands on deck with this one. But with Tyler 0:11:27.470 --> 0:11:30.200 Glass now, you know, when he's right, he is excellent. 0:11:30.240 --> 0:11:32.700 And he's really good at putting guys away with two strikes. 0:11:32.740 --> 0:11:35.060 He gets the swing and miss. And I think being 0:11:35.140 --> 0:11:37.979 able to see that from Blake Snell yesterday, as much 0:11:38.059 --> 0:11:40.520 as you have lefty versus righty, and it's two very 0:11:40.580 --> 0:11:43.950 different pitchers. But the fact that, you know, outside of 0:11:44.050 --> 0:11:46.770 the leadoff home run and then, yes, we know what 0:11:46.790 --> 0:11:49.750 happened in the seventh with Blake Snell, he was dialed 0:11:49.790 --> 0:11:52.630 in and he was excellent. And I do think that Tyler, 0:11:52.670 --> 0:11:55.080 from watching that, from seeing kind of what's happened in 0:11:55.120 --> 0:11:57.600 the first three games in this series. He can take 0:11:57.980 --> 0:12:01.740 that information and apply that for himself in this outing. So, yes, 0:12:01.820 --> 0:12:04.160 the hope is that he can set the tone. But 0:12:04.200 --> 0:12:06.420 the other good news is the bullpen is in a 0:12:06.460 --> 0:12:08.840 good spot. They are fully stocked, so they can help 0:12:08.900 --> 0:12:12.500 support him. But ultimately, if we've learned anything with this 0:12:12.540 --> 0:12:15.260 series so far, it's going to start with the pitching, 0:12:15.590 --> 0:12:18.309 but you have to get the offense going. And yesterday 0:12:18.370 --> 0:12:20.890 we saw a little bit of light in the sixth 0:12:20.950 --> 0:12:25.410 inning with that– to run double from Will Smith, and 0:12:25.429 --> 0:12:27.110 that was huge. It felt like they were going to 0:12:27.130 --> 0:12:30.230 take the game, but now it's been made clear that 0:12:30.690 --> 0:12:33.400 no lead, unfortunately, is safe in this one, and they're 0:12:33.420 --> 0:12:35.500 going to have to find ways to continue to tack 0:12:35.620 --> 0:12:36.020 on today. 0:12:36.280 --> 0:12:38.960 Being around this team today, being down there in the dugout, 0:12:39.040 --> 0:12:41.120 being around the guys on the field, what's the sense 0:12:41.160 --> 0:12:43.780 you get from this team going into this game is 0:12:43.860 --> 0:12:46.600 it nervous energy is it confidence what do you what 0:12:46.620 --> 0:12:46.920 do you. 0:12:46.840 --> 0:12:50.199 Sense it so I feel confidence and I feel from 0:12:50.260 --> 0:12:52.540 them this is a group that truly has no panic 0:12:52.600 --> 0:12:54.939 I mean they've come out they've done the their normal 0:12:55.020 --> 0:12:58.300 pre-game routines guys are out here getting early work in 0:12:58.370 --> 0:13:01.250 from Freddie Freeman to Mookie Betts taking grounders you know 0:13:01.270 --> 0:13:04.250 they're doing their work in the cage young guys Josue 0:13:04.270 --> 0:13:06.949 de Paula's in the outfield taking reps and left so 0:13:06.970 --> 0:13:09.770 it's Guys are doing their normal things. I think they 0:13:10.070 --> 0:13:12.910 understand the situation that is at hand. 0:13:12.970 --> 0:13:14.340 But this is a group. 0:13:14.360 --> 0:13:17.140 They know how talented they are. They recognize that. 0:13:17.520 --> 0:13:17.740 You know. 0:13:18.980 --> 0:13:21.380 You just have to leave it all out there. And 0:13:21.740 --> 0:13:23.840 they can lay their head... I think Mookie said this 0:13:23.880 --> 0:13:25.570 very well. He was like, you know, when you give 0:13:25.590 --> 0:13:28.270 it your all, you can lay your head to rest afterwards, 0:13:28.350 --> 0:13:31.330 understanding you put everything in to try to win. So 0:13:31.730 --> 0:13:34.150 I think that is the feeling today. Even Dave Roberts 0:13:34.190 --> 0:13:38.420 had shared that when you are in a situation facing elimination... 0:13:38.120 --> 0:13:39.959 You don't want to put too much pressure on yourself. 0:13:40.000 --> 0:13:42.060 You do have to be free and easy. And so 0:13:42.140 --> 0:13:45.290 hopefully that just kind of energy and feeling allows for 0:13:45.330 --> 0:13:46.550 them to be successful today. 0:13:46.950 --> 0:13:49.130 We'll find out here shortly. Kirsten, we appreciate it. 0:13:49.130 --> 0:13:50.510 We'll check in with you after the game. Still to 0:13:50.550 --> 0:13:52.929 come here on Morongo, Casino Dodgers on deck. We'll dive 0:13:52.970 --> 0:13:55.680 deeper into this pitching matchup. David Vasse goes one-on-one with 0:13:55.740 --> 0:13:59.020 Will Smith. But up next, we'll get you the manager himself, 0:13:59.080 --> 0:14:03.520 Dave Roberts. His game four thoughts before this NLCS matchup. 0:14:03.600 --> 0:14:05.969 It's the Dodgers and the Brewers from Uniqlo Field at 0:14:05.990 --> 0:14:08.090 Dodger Stadium. I'm Tim Cates, and this is the back-to-back 0:14:08.110 --> 0:14:10.450 World Series champion Dodgers Audio Network. 0:14:13.590 --> 0:14:19.010 This is Morongo Casino. Dodgers on tape. On your home 0:14:19.070 --> 0:14:21.000 for L.A. Dodgers baseball. 0:14:23.430 --> 0:14:26.670 Morongo Casino Dodgers on deck continues as we lead you 0:14:26.690 --> 0:14:29.190 up to first pitch here from Unico Field at Dodger Stadium. 0:14:29.510 --> 0:14:30.810 Dodgers and the Brewers. 0:14:31.230 --> 0:14:35.200 Dodgers a must-win game four down 0-3 in this best-of-seven series. 0:14:35.240 --> 0:14:37.780 Tyler Glass now. Shane Drone in the pitching matchup. It 0:14:37.820 --> 0:14:39.560 is going to be a bullpen game for the Brewers. 0:14:39.600 --> 0:14:42.180 First pitch coming up at 5-0-8. And with more, we 0:14:42.200 --> 0:14:44.859 head back downstairs, get the pregame thoughts of the Dodger skipper. 0:14:45.500 --> 0:14:47.820 Anything else for Dave? Dave, do you think... Other questions 0:14:47.880 --> 0:14:48.200 for Dave? 0:14:48.240 --> 0:14:50.020 Dave, can you just describe. 0:14:50.070 --> 0:14:51.010 Dave, can you. 0:14:50.770 --> 0:14:51.830 Talk about the pressure. 0:14:52.770 --> 0:14:56.130 In the dugout with Dave Roberts. Brought to you by 0:14:56.150 --> 0:15:01.010 Concordia University, Irvine's Masters in Coaching and Athletics Administration. 0:15:01.790 --> 0:15:04.410 We saw the lineup, Dave, and there's an unexpected name 0:15:04.450 --> 0:15:07.330 at the top. How did you come to the conclusion 0:15:07.370 --> 0:15:09.650 that Chauvet was ready to get back to the leadoff spot? 0:15:11.570 --> 0:15:16.630 Just seeing the work the last couple days, I like 0:15:16.790 --> 0:15:21.010 where his head is at. I just really like the 0:15:21.050 --> 0:15:26.610 at-bats yesterday. And I felt that, you know, trying to 0:15:26.770 --> 0:15:29.950 shake it up a little bit. Obviously, we haven't, you know, 0:15:29.970 --> 0:15:33.240 performed the way that we're capable of. So to kind 0:15:33.260 --> 0:15:35.940 of shake it up a little bit, but something that's 0:15:36.360 --> 0:15:39.340 of somewhat normalcy that our guys are used to. 0:15:40.000 --> 0:15:42.500 And a couple of the other moves, Kike and Miguel, are, 0:15:43.100 --> 0:15:46.479 I assume, response to the expectation. 0:15:45.870 --> 0:15:46.430 Of their opener? 0:15:47.420 --> 0:15:48.530 Yeah, yeah. 0:15:48.570 --> 0:15:51.370 No, I just think it's more of, you know, the 0:15:51.410 --> 0:15:58.230 starter who's starting today. I still love Miggy Rowe against 0:15:58.270 --> 0:16:01.930 a lefty and to kind of give them that opportunity 0:16:02.010 --> 0:16:06.180 and force their hand and having Muncie and the holster 0:16:06.780 --> 0:16:10.960 for either Kike or Miggy Rowe at some point in time. Yeah, 0:16:11.620 --> 0:16:14.160 and I just like having Kike in there in a 0:16:14.180 --> 0:16:14.739 game like this. 0:16:15.740 --> 0:16:16.880 Can you go to Jack right here on the left? 0:16:17.460 --> 0:16:19.540 Dave, will Yamamoto be available for you out of the 0:16:19.560 --> 0:16:20.180 bullpen tonight? 0:16:20.640 --> 0:16:28.430 No, no. Our bullpen is rested, very, very capable. You 0:16:28.450 --> 0:16:30.530 still got to win four, but obviously you got to 0:16:30.550 --> 0:16:34.510 win one first. I completely understand that, but the short answer, no. 0:16:35.150 --> 0:16:38.530 And then there's been some speculation, especially with like looking 0:16:38.570 --> 0:16:40.510 at the Bowers at bats last couple of games, but 0:16:40.530 --> 0:16:43.080 some others that maybe your guys were tipping pitches or 0:16:43.120 --> 0:16:44.860 that they knew what was coming. Is that anything that 0:16:44.880 --> 0:16:46.760 you've sensed or that you guys have looked into the 0:16:46.800 --> 0:16:47.440 last couple of days? 0:16:49.300 --> 0:16:51.880 You know what? We're always kind of mindful of stuff 0:16:51.900 --> 0:16:56.040 like that, but I don't think that's the case given 0:16:56.060 --> 0:17:00.380 the prior at bats that Blake had against those guys 0:17:00.480 --> 0:17:02.350 and At the end of the day, you've got to 0:17:02.370 --> 0:17:05.100 give credit where credit's due. And he put together a 0:17:05.160 --> 0:17:09.030 really good at bat and homered. So I don't think 0:17:09.050 --> 0:17:09.909 there's anything to that. 0:17:10.670 --> 0:17:13.430 All right, there's the manager, Dave Roberts, down in the dugout.

A pivotal, 0:17:49.260 --> 0:17:52.639 must-win game four of the NLCS Dodgers and Brewers. 0:17:53.060 --> 0:17:54.830 I'm Tim Cates, and this is the back-to-back World Series 0:17:54.850 --> 0:17:56.590 champion Dodgers. Audio Network. 0:18:01.930 --> 0:18:06.710 As we were saying, this is Morongo Casino Dodgers on 0:18:06.760 --> 0:18:10.719 deck on the official home of L.A.

Dodgers baseball brought. 0:18:18.780 --> 0:18:19.460 To you by El Pato. 0:18:19.800 --> 0:18:22.060 Born in L.A. and made for your game day. 0:18:22.080 --> 0:18:25.600 El Pato brings authentic Mexican-style tomato sauces, salsas, and hot 0:18:25.640 --> 0:18:26.640 sauces right to your plate. 0:18:26.960 --> 0:18:29.100 El Pato gourmet. 0:18:28.560 --> 0:18:33.710 In a can. Joining Tim Cates on Dodgers on Deck. 0:18:33.750 --> 0:18:35.530 I accept everybody for who they are. 0:18:35.570 --> 0:18:38.970 This is Dodger Insider, David Bassett. 0:18:39.050 --> 0:18:41.690 All right, DV, go back to last night real quick. 0:18:41.890 --> 0:18:44.380 An outing for Blake Snell. He was strong for six innings. 0:18:44.390 --> 0:18:46.419 Things got away in the seventh inning. But how was 0:18:46.460 --> 0:18:47.100 he feeling today? 0:18:47.720 --> 0:18:50.399 Yeah, I talked to him after the game last night 0:18:50.460 --> 0:18:53.980 and again today and just frustrated because he was so 0:18:54.060 --> 0:18:56.880 good for six innings and things kind of fell apart 0:18:57.480 --> 0:19:01.020 in that seventh inning. Remember, Tim? Blake Snell had not 0:19:01.260 --> 0:19:04.320 touched the seventh inning of a game since last year's 0:19:04.400 --> 0:19:08.350 game one of the NLCS against these Brewers. He hasn't 0:19:08.390 --> 0:19:11.870 pitched a lot. Tarek Skubal has made more starts for 0:19:11.910 --> 0:19:14.910 the Dodgers this season than Blake Snell. And you go 0:19:14.970 --> 0:19:18.739 back to the last month of pitching for Snell, He 0:19:18.760 --> 0:19:23.350 had an abbreviated start in Cincinnati. He missed about 14 0:19:23.350 --> 0:19:26.290 days until his next start. So he just hasn't pitched 0:19:26.350 --> 0:19:30.530 a lot. And obviously things unraveled in that seventh inning. 0:19:30.609 --> 0:19:34.780 But he's hoping for another opportunity in a possible game 0:19:34.840 --> 0:19:36.340 seven of this NLCS. 0:19:36.800 --> 0:19:38.100 David is brought to you by Ford. It's time to 0:19:38.140 --> 0:19:40.200 see Ford in a new light from the F-150 to 0:19:40.220 --> 0:19:42.570 the Bronco. Ford has the trucks and SUVs built for 0:19:42.590 --> 0:19:44.870 whatever comes your way. Visit your Southern California Ford dealer 0:19:45.210 --> 0:19:47.310 and take a test drive today for the official vehicle 0:19:47.670 --> 0:19:50.540 of Major League Baseball. David, do the Dodgers have enough 0:19:50.840 --> 0:19:52.520 to come all the way back and win this series? 0:19:53.300 --> 0:19:56.660 That's the question. I feel like people fail to realize 0:19:56.760 --> 0:19:59.919 or appreciate the fact that the Dodgers, the last three years, 0:20:00.010 --> 0:20:03.510
