Incredible and while others make excuses. 0:00:12.160 --> 0:00:14.440 The only reason the Dodgers are doing this because they can. 0:00:14.520 --> 0:00:15.280 They printing money. 0:00:15.280 --> 0:00:17.160 The Dodgers just can't continue. 0:00:17.200 --> 0:00:17.960 It's not fair. 0:00:18.120 --> 0:00:19.280 Are making plans. 0:00:19.880 --> 0:00:25.079 Yeah, it's a singular focus on controlling what they can control. 0:00:25.480 --> 0:00:30.120 Now you're inside man with the La Dodgers. It's David Basset. 0:00:32.000 --> 0:00:35.600 We are live at Oracle Park in San Francisco. It's 0:00:35.680 --> 0:00:40.279 Morongo Casino Dodgers on deck. The Dodgers trying to salvage 0:00:40.280 --> 0:00:43.159 the final game of this three game series and end 0:00:43.200 --> 0:00:45.600 the road trip on a high note today with Tyler 0:00:45.680 --> 0:00:49.239 glassnow on the mound going up against Logan Webb of 0:00:49.360 --> 0:00:53.040 the Giants. First pitch coming up at twelve forty five. 0:00:53.360 --> 0:00:53.800 Coming up. 0:00:53.840 --> 0:00:56.800 Over the next sixty minutes here on Morongo Casino Dodgers 0:00:56.840 --> 0:00:59.640 on deck, we'll hear from Dodger manager Dave Roberts about 0:00:59.680 --> 0:01:03.360 the lineup change, Kyle Tucker moving to the cleanup spot, 0:01:03.400 --> 0:01:06.640 Freddie Freeman now hitting second, and also we'll go on 0:01:06.640 --> 0:01:09.720 on one with Blake Snell, who had a successful first 0:01:09.920 --> 0:01:13.840 rehab start yesterday in San Jose. Last night here in 0:01:13.880 --> 0:01:18.520 San Francisco, show Hey Otani the pitcher was outstanding, Otani 0:01:18.600 --> 0:01:21.479 the hitter, and the Dodger offense not so much. Only 0:01:21.520 --> 0:01:24.119 three Dodgers had a hit, and O'tani was not one 0:01:24.160 --> 0:01:26.959 of them. Show Hey back doing double duty as the 0:01:26.959 --> 0:01:31.319 starting pitcher and DH on the mound six shutout innings. 0:01:31.360 --> 0:01:32.520 He was phenomenal. 0:01:32.720 --> 0:01:36.640 Seven strikeouts, scattered five hits, and certainly a big night 0:01:36.760 --> 0:01:38.000 for him on the mound. 0:01:39.600 --> 0:01:41.320 You will Smith right now, what are you going to 0:01:41.400 --> 0:01:41.800 be tolling? 0:01:43.240 --> 0:01:45.880 And it is down, You've got to block it with everything. 0:01:45.920 --> 0:01:47.560 You've got to make sure he doesn't get past you. 0:01:48.520 --> 0:01:54.160 The one two pitch he struck him out. Oltani turls 0:01:54.160 --> 0:01:57.240 off the mount and pumps his fist as he strands 0:01:57.240 --> 0:02:00.960 a pair of two out hits to keep the game scoreless. 0:02:02.520 --> 0:02:04.240 That was in the sixth inning. 0:02:04.320 --> 0:02:07.720 His final batter Casey Schmidt, with runners at second and 0:02:07.880 --> 0:02:10.760 third with two outs in that sixth inning in a 0:02:10.800 --> 0:02:14.240 scoreless tie. He used two sweepers and one hundred mile 0:02:14.240 --> 0:02:17.880 an hour fastball to strike out Schmidt in that at bat, 0:02:17.919 --> 0:02:21.400 and he showed emotion coming off the mound, seventh strikeout 0:02:21.440 --> 0:02:24.680 of the game. That was the exclamation mark on all that. 0:02:24.960 --> 0:02:28.399 As good as O'tani was Tyler Mallley, who came into 0:02:28.480 --> 0:02:32.320 the game with an over seven ELRA pitched seven shutout 0:02:32.360 --> 0:02:35.280 innings against the Dodgers last night, holding them to just 0:02:35.360 --> 0:02:38.680 three hits. Jack Dreyer came in in the seventh inning 0:02:38.720 --> 0:02:42.120 to relieve o'tani. Back to back singles got him in 0:02:42.120 --> 0:02:46.400 trouble early, and then Patrick Bailey, the number nine hitter, 0:02:47.000 --> 0:02:49.400 with two strikes, changed the game. 0:02:50.600 --> 0:02:54.720 Another one two pitch, Baily listened here to left field 0:02:54.760 --> 0:03:00.280 hit date, this ball's back and it is gone. 0:03:01.880 --> 0:03:05.919 Patrick Bailey breaks the ice with his first home run 0:03:06.000 --> 0:03:10.200 of the season, his first extra base hit, a three 0:03:10.360 --> 0:03:11.040 run homer. 0:03:13.040 --> 0:03:16.400 The number nine hitter, Patrick Bailey, down one two in 0:03:16.440 --> 0:03:19.960 the count, got a hanging slider from Drag Dryer and 0:03:20.080 --> 0:03:21.880 the Giants had a three to nothing lead. 0:03:22.280 --> 0:03:23.760 That would be the final score. 0:03:23.840 --> 0:03:26.480 In the first time this year, the Dodgers have been 0:03:26.520 --> 0:03:29.000 shut out. The Dodgers by the way show Hey o 0:03:29.080 --> 0:03:32.120 Tani over four so his on base streek comes to 0:03:32.160 --> 0:03:35.760 an end at fifty three straight games. Sean Green can 0:03:35.840 --> 0:03:39.480 exhale now somewhere in Newport Beach. The Dodgers have no 0:03:39.600 --> 0:03:42.320 time to feel sorry for themselves. Quick turnaround today and 0:03:42.360 --> 0:03:44.920 for the first time, let's check in with Rick Monday 0:03:44.960 --> 0:03:45.920 and Steven Nelson. 0:03:46.760 --> 0:03:48.680 Thank you so much, DV. Great to be with you 0:03:48.960 --> 0:03:50.880 on this pregame show and great to be with you MO. 0:03:51.120 --> 0:03:54.000 As the Dodgers finish up this seven game road trip, 0:03:54.040 --> 0:03:55.880 it's going to be a losing road trip and they 0:03:55.880 --> 0:03:57.880 need to win a day to avoid a sweep. And 0:03:58.080 --> 0:04:00.680 if you'd have been told going into San Francisco, hey, 0:04:00.720 --> 0:04:03.000 the Dodgers are going to get seven innings from Yamamoto 0:04:03.080 --> 0:04:06.360 at quality start and six shoutout from Otani, you probably 0:04:06.360 --> 0:04:08.840 would have bet that it's the Dodgers going for a 0:04:08.840 --> 0:04:09.880 sweep on this Thursday. 0:04:09.920 --> 0:04:11.560 But the offense has been dead quiet. 0:04:11.640 --> 0:04:14.480 Yeah, and you would think with those two pitching performances 0:04:14.560 --> 0:04:17.240 you're talking about, they get titleer glassnow on the mound today, 0:04:17.320 --> 0:04:19.520 you would think, well, the numbers should be better than 0:04:19.520 --> 0:04:22.719 two and four. The numbers don't always add up to 0:04:22.800 --> 0:04:26.000 who wins and who loses. Because here's some numbers that 0:04:26.120 --> 0:04:30.120 threw together this morning. The Dodgers have out hit the 0:04:30.120 --> 0:04:33.119 opponents twenty nine to twenty five. On this road trip, 0:04:33.400 --> 0:04:37.560 they have outscored the opposing teams fifty six to forty nine, 0:04:37.640 --> 0:04:40.800 and yet they have dropped four into the lost column 0:04:40.839 --> 0:04:43.000 and the sixth that they have played, And one of 0:04:43.000 --> 0:04:45.480 the big reasons is that they have just passed up 0:04:45.520 --> 0:04:48.680 opportunities to score. Talk about it very often, but the 0:04:48.720 --> 0:04:51.039 Dodgers in this two game series thus far against the 0:04:51.080 --> 0:04:54.080 Giants are zero for nine with runners in scoring position, 0:04:54.160 --> 0:04:57.320 and on the road trip they're hitting collectively just one 0:04:57.480 --> 0:05:01.159 seventy seven both the Rockies and the the Giants combine 0:05:01.600 --> 0:05:03.880 on this trip with runners in scoring position. If he 0:05:03.880 --> 0:05:06.800 had an even three hundred, that's a great disparity as 0:05:06.800 --> 0:05:09.480 far as what's going to happen under that big part 0:05:09.560 --> 0:05:12.919 in the scoreboard that says are meaning runs and. 0:05:12.800 --> 0:05:14.960 It's not just with runners and score position, just ment 0:05:14.960 --> 0:05:17.400 on base period. This Syearies, they're three for twenty two 0:05:18.120 --> 0:05:21.359 just overall, they're batting one seventeen the first two games. 0:05:21.360 --> 0:05:26.120 They've been absolutely stifled by Land and Roupe, Tyler Malley 0:05:26.279 --> 0:05:29.160 and a giant bullpen that is pitching very well. Now 0:05:29.279 --> 0:05:33.120 we ask the question on yesterday's broadcast, if I'm not 0:05:33.160 --> 0:05:37.279 mistaken moling. At what point do you consider maybe changing 0:05:37.279 --> 0:05:40.240 the lineup? Well, the Dodgers are doing that on this Sunday. 0:05:40.320 --> 0:05:43.640 Kyle Tucker is just he's not right. He's not fully 0:05:43.720 --> 0:05:45.840 there yet his first season as a Dodger, he has. 0:05:45.800 --> 0:05:46.479 Yet to break out. 0:05:46.480 --> 0:05:48.120 And so he's bumped down in the order and Freddie 0:05:48.080 --> 0:05:49.240 Freeman back to the two hole. 0:05:49.520 --> 0:05:53.560 And yet with Tucker kind of scrambling around right now 0:05:53.880 --> 0:05:56.719 with the the swing, he's batting in the four spot, 0:05:56.839 --> 0:05:59.359 which kind of catches you by surprise. But yes, Freddy 0:05:59.400 --> 0:06:03.440 Freeman batt second behind Otani, then ta Oscar Hernandez Max 0:06:03.520 --> 0:06:05.840 Munsey again well bat fifth, he's at third base, pile 0:06:05.960 --> 0:06:09.560 his patrolling in center Fieldalton Rushing with the start today 0:06:09.960 --> 0:06:12.480 behind the plate, and we'll see about his bat has 0:06:12.520 --> 0:06:15.640 been hot except for the last outing that he was having. 0:06:15.960 --> 0:06:18.320 And for Alex frielan back in the lineup at second 0:06:18.360 --> 0:06:19.720 base with Kim at shortstop. 0:06:19.800 --> 0:06:20.400 So you're kind of. 0:06:20.400 --> 0:06:24.520 Changing at least the positioning of the batting order. Our 0:06:24.560 --> 0:06:27.159 big question is going to be does Dave Roberts continue 0:06:27.160 --> 0:06:30.040 to think about changing the positioning of the batting order 0:06:30.440 --> 0:06:33.960 when Shohotani is the starting pitcher on top of it, 0:06:34.000 --> 0:06:37.279 and that's something that may get more close of a 0:06:37.279 --> 0:06:38.719 look as we continue in the season. 0:06:38.800 --> 0:06:40.520 I think they're just going to have to sprinkle it 0:06:40.560 --> 0:06:42.800 in because the Dodgers are always playing the long game. 0:06:42.800 --> 0:06:46.040 They're always getting ready for the stretcherrun of the regular 0:06:46.080 --> 0:06:48.920 season and obviously through the postseason, and you want to 0:06:48.960 --> 0:06:50.320 keep him as fresh as possible. 0:06:50.360 --> 0:06:52.720 But the other part two is is enabling him if 0:06:52.760 --> 0:06:54.520 you put him in the number even if number two 0:06:54.560 --> 0:06:56.760 spot right, you know, if you put him in the 0:06:56.800 --> 0:06:58.120 lineup in the middle in. 0:06:58.440 --> 0:07:00.240 Three, four or maybe even five. 0:07:00.600 --> 0:07:03.000 On the days that he's pitching, that does give him 0:07:03.040 --> 0:07:06.359 a little bit of a breather between coming off of 0:07:06.400 --> 0:07:08.400 the mound and then coming in not even going to 0:07:08.440 --> 0:07:11.160 the dugout and changing and putting the helmet on and 0:07:11.160 --> 0:07:13.440 getting the bat and putting the batting gloves on. He 0:07:13.480 --> 0:07:16.160 doesn't even sat down from just pitching right. 0:07:16.200 --> 0:07:20.720 And he also just he's not himself offensively yet either. 0:07:20.720 --> 0:07:22.640 He's one for eight in this series, is batting average 0:07:22.680 --> 0:07:25.480 down to two fifty eight. He's still searching for his swing. 0:07:26.080 --> 0:07:28.360 And so the Dodgers being in this position still tie 0:07:28.400 --> 0:07:31.800 the top of the division. Despite so you know, they're 0:07:31.840 --> 0:07:33.520 missing one of their big guns and movie betts for 0:07:33.520 --> 0:07:35.760 at least another couple of weeks, and then two of 0:07:35.800 --> 0:07:39.440 their other all stars and their MVPs Old Tani and 0:07:39.520 --> 0:07:40.080 Kyle Tucker. 0:07:40.400 --> 0:07:41.880 They're searching for it at the place. 0:07:41.960 --> 0:07:44.560 So all things consider the Dodgers in a great spot 0:07:44.960 --> 0:07:47.280 despite all that, because that's how much talent they have 0:07:47.360 --> 0:07:49.320 on the roster. They're gonna need that talent to come 0:07:49.360 --> 0:07:50.400 through today, get a win and. 0:07:50.400 --> 0:07:52.520 Avoid a sweep. We'll be back a little bit later 0:07:52.600 --> 0:07:53.880 DV with a key from home. 0:07:54.720 --> 0:07:56.960 All right, sounds good And as we count you down 0:07:57.000 --> 0:08:00.560 to first pitch, Dodger fans, get your game day at 0:08:00.600 --> 0:08:04.000 Shaky's Pizza Parlor or to your Shaky's Pizza, Chicken and 0:08:04.080 --> 0:08:05.200 mojos now. 0:08:05.200 --> 0:08:06.840 At Shaky's dot com. 0:08:06.880 --> 0:08:10.080 It's the Dodgers and Giants coming up at twelve forty five. 0:08:10.160 --> 0:08:13.880 A great pitching matchup between Tyler Glass now and Logan Webb. 0:08:14.240 --> 0:08:16.840 I'm David Vasse and this is the back to back 0:08:16.840 --> 0:08:18.920 world champion Dodgers Audio Network. 0:08:21.240 --> 0:08:26.320 Well, this is Morongo Casino Dodgers Hunting Game on your 0:08:26.400 --> 0:08:28.640 home for La Dodgers Baseball. 0:08:32.400 --> 0:08:36.320 Dodgers and Giants Game three Here in San Francisco at 0:08:36.320 --> 0:08:39.880 Oracle Park, Tyler Glass now coming up against Logan Webb 0:08:40.000 --> 0:08:41.400 at twelve forty five. 0:08:42.720 --> 0:08:44.960 This is the Otani re. 0:08:45.160 --> 0:08:47.960 What he had nineteen swings and missus his first two 0:08:47.960 --> 0:08:51.839 starts combined. It was a huge up tip that last 0:08:51.840 --> 0:08:55.320 turn another two to two, strike three, call the fastball 0:08:55.400 --> 0:08:59.960 down the pipe and Adonis knew it right away. County 0:09:00.080 --> 0:09:03.800 even two and two. Here's the pitch, sway, I'm gonna 0:09:03.800 --> 0:09:07.960 miss strike three. All four outs recorded to start this 0:09:08.080 --> 0:09:11.840 game from show Hey Old Tani strikeouts. 0:09:11.440 --> 0:09:12.800 The one two pitch. 0:09:13.360 --> 0:09:17.640 He struck him out. Old Tani turls off the mount 0:09:17.720 --> 0:09:20.600 and pumps his fist as he strands a pair of 0:09:20.640 --> 0:09:23.880 two out hits to keep the game scoreless. 0:09:25.480 --> 0:09:28.040 The dominance of show Hey Otani on the mound this 0:09:28.200 --> 0:09:32.319 year continued last night with six shutout inning, seven strikeouts, 0:09:32.360 --> 0:09:36.480 no walks in a no decision. Otani this year, in 0:09:36.600 --> 0:09:41.360 four starts has an ERA of zero thirty eight and 0:09:41.440 --> 0:09:43.480 his whip is zero seventy five. 0:09:43.600 --> 0:09:44.959 That's how good he's been. 0:09:45.080 --> 0:09:47.679 And certainly if he gets to that one hundred and 0:09:47.800 --> 0:09:51.559 sixty two any market some point this season, he definitely 0:09:51.559 --> 0:09:54.000 would be in the conversation for the National League Cy 0:09:54.080 --> 0:09:57.000 Young Award. Let's check in now with Kirsten Watson. 0:09:57.760 --> 0:10:01.600 This is Kirston's Corner with Kirston Watson. 0:10:02.559 --> 0:10:05.160 Kirston Watson brought to you by Cars for Kids, the 0:10:05.240 --> 0:10:06.040 easiest way. 0:10:05.920 --> 0:10:07.000 To get rid of your old car. 0:10:07.120 --> 0:10:10.000 Donate today and your car can be picked up tomorrow. 0:10:10.040 --> 0:10:12.800 Donate now at Carsfourkids dot org. 0:10:13.000 --> 0:10:14.160 That's Cars with a K. 0:10:14.400 --> 0:10:18.360 Well, Kirston, your final game before National TV takes over 0:10:18.400 --> 0:10:21.160 the next two days at Dodger Stadium. I feel like 0:10:21.200 --> 0:10:24.160 I'm pointing the finger at you since the camera well 0:10:24.280 --> 0:10:27.360 is connected to this Dodger dugout. The bats have been 0:10:27.400 --> 0:10:30.360 a little consato, Kirsten. What have you been hearing down here? 0:10:30.559 --> 0:10:32.199 You know what I think? Right now when you talk 0:10:32.240 --> 0:10:34.600 to the guys, you're just hearing that they're frustration with 0:10:34.640 --> 0:10:37.079 the inconsistencies are having at the plane. It's like we're 0:10:37.080 --> 0:10:39.640 seeing moments and when you know, guys are breaking out. 0:10:39.679 --> 0:10:40.440 Typically on the road. 0:10:40.480 --> 0:10:42.760 The bats have been hot, but when you look at 0:10:43.840 --> 0:10:45.920 what we've been seeing on this roach. I'm obviously playing 0:10:45.920 --> 0:10:48.160 in Denver it can be a hitters park but also 0:10:48.240 --> 0:10:50.199 can prove to have some challenges. They took two of 0:10:50.320 --> 0:10:52.640 four there, but in that final game we did see 0:10:52.679 --> 0:10:54.679 things get hot, and so it was a bit surprising 0:10:54.720 --> 0:10:57.320 than to come to San Francisco where things have been 0:10:57.320 --> 0:10:59.840 a bit quieter. But it sounds like just from seeing 0:10:59.880 --> 0:11:04.560 the guys some of their emotions reactions, it feels like, yes, 0:11:05.280 --> 0:11:07.520 the Bats have cooled off in this side, but it 0:11:07.559 --> 0:11:10.920 also seems like they've been facing some really strong pitching 0:11:11.080 --> 0:11:13.280 from the Giants. Their guys have showed up, we saw 0:11:13.360 --> 0:11:16.080 with Mali yesterday, So I think for today it's really 0:11:16.120 --> 0:11:19.240 just finding ways to stay stick to their approach, stick 0:11:19.280 --> 0:11:21.679 to their true selves, and hopefully find ways to get 0:11:21.679 --> 0:11:23.240 going to find a way to pick up a win 0:11:23.280 --> 0:11:23.800 in the series. 0:11:24.000 --> 0:11:25.679 You're more in the game here than you are in 0:11:25.760 --> 0:11:27.319 other ballparks and dugouts. 0:11:27.320 --> 0:11:29.720 So are you hearing frustrations? What are you hearing? 0:11:29.920 --> 0:11:30.240 You know what? 0:11:30.320 --> 0:11:32.480 At times it is frustrations. I feel like kind of 0:11:32.520 --> 0:11:34.360 more on the back end. I think the other day 0:11:34.400 --> 0:11:37.040 in Game one was probably the first time I've seen 0:11:37.040 --> 0:11:40.439 and heard some frustration from Kyle Tucker. Alex Frielan was 0:11:40.440 --> 0:11:42.600 a little upset with himself, I think with some of 0:11:42.640 --> 0:11:46.079 the There was a an at bat in which if 0:11:46.120 --> 0:11:48.400 he had challenge, I would have overturned it. And I 0:11:48.440 --> 0:11:50.440 think kind of he realizing that it was a ball 0:11:50.480 --> 0:11:52.680 when you wanted to challenge it and not doing so. 0:11:53.240 --> 0:11:55.400 You could see kind of just some frustration with him 0:11:55.480 --> 0:11:59.319 after game one. So it is a thing. It is 0:11:59.360 --> 0:12:02.760 starting to build debt. But ultimately, these are guys, they're professionals. 0:12:02.800 --> 0:12:05.000 They know kind of they know who they are at 0:12:05.000 --> 0:12:07.080 the play, they know who they are as professional athletes. 0:12:07.120 --> 0:12:09.640 So it's more of sticking to their approach not letting 0:12:10.160 --> 0:12:12.480 the frustrations build over time. 0:12:12.920 --> 0:12:15.200 All right, We'll see whether or not Kirsten Watson can 0:12:15.240 --> 0:12:17.120 get the bets woken up today. 0:12:17.240 --> 0:12:17.920 I'll do my best. 0:12:17.960 --> 0:12:19.959 I'll do my best. We have a lineup shake up, 0:12:20.000 --> 0:12:21.920 so we'll see if that kind adds a little. 0:12:21.720 --> 0:12:22.200 Fire to it. 0:12:22.280 --> 0:12:24.120 Yeah, I love it. Kyle Tucker hitting clean up. 0:12:24.280 --> 0:12:26.880 Yeah, I like it too. And I think, you know, obviously, 0:12:27.320 --> 0:12:29.520 Logan Webb's a very talented picture is kind of had 0:12:29.559 --> 0:12:32.240 the best numbers this year. But let's see if they 0:12:32.240 --> 0:12:33.960 can find ways to get to him and at least 0:12:34.120 --> 0:12:37.880 leave San Francisco with a happy flight, a win and 0:12:37.920 --> 0:12:40.440 even kind of ending this road trip. I think on 0:12:40.480 --> 0:12:42.720 a more positive note when you come to the results 0:12:42.720 --> 0:12:44.439 and how they're able to kind of finish things out. 0:12:44.679 --> 0:12:46.760 All right, Thanks Kirsten. Great to see you, and we'll 0:12:46.800 --> 0:12:48.120 catch up with you on Sunday. 0:12:48.160 --> 0:12:49.400 All right, but are you a believer? 0:12:49.800 --> 0:12:50.440 I'm a believer? 0:12:50.679 --> 0:12:52.760 Yes, everyone, we. 0:12:52.760 --> 0:12:56.280 Have quite a few. Actually, I've seen so the song 0:12:56.360 --> 0:12:58.360 here choice at the end of the game, when they 0:12:58.760 --> 0:13:01.320 the fans choose, it's been Baby by Justin Bieber. And 0:13:01.360 --> 0:13:04.200 I have noticed when I look over there have been 0:13:04.280 --> 0:13:07.600 quite a few guys who are singing Baby by Justin Bieber. 0:13:07.640 --> 0:13:09.160 So we have a lot of believers on this. 0:13:09.160 --> 0:13:12.079 Team, Okay, a lot of guilty pleasures. Nobody will admit 0:13:12.160 --> 0:13:12.880 except you. 0:13:12.920 --> 0:13:15.000 No, I've got a few. I've got a few that 0:13:15.160 --> 0:13:16.760 are willing to admit. 0:13:16.960 --> 0:13:17.320 Okay. 0:13:17.360 --> 0:13:21.120 Freddie has said he is a believer. We've got Tanter'scott 0:13:21.280 --> 0:13:23.560 not a believer. He was very adamant. He's like, my 0:13:23.600 --> 0:13:26.280 wife has been up talking about this concert and blah 0:13:26.320 --> 0:13:28.640 blah blah. Not one, but we have quite a few. 0:13:29.040 --> 0:13:29.439 Okay. 0:13:30.240 --> 0:13:32.679 We'll keep an eye on that. We'll see whether or 0:13:32.720 --> 0:13:35.000 not that wakes up the bats. Still to come here 0:13:35.000 --> 0:13:38.520 on Wrongo Casino Dodgers on Deck we'll preview today's pitching matchup. 0:13:38.679 --> 0:13:40.520 We'll go one on one with snell Zilla. 0:13:40.760 --> 0:13:44.000 Plus we'll get you the latest Dodger injury report Dodgers 0:13:44.000 --> 0:13:46.839 and Giants coming up at twelve forty five.

Mookie 0:14:55.520 --> 0:14:58.520 Betts is on the il with a right oblique string. 0:14:58.640 --> 0:15:00.840 Good news as it per tains to him. 0:15:00.880 --> 0:15:02.960 He is starting to swing the back, which is a 0:15:03.000 --> 0:15:05.600 good sign that he's on the way to return to 0:15:05.680 --> 0:15:08.960 the Dodger lineup. Rock Stewart is on a minor league 0:15:09.000 --> 0:15:12.320 rehab assignment as he works his way back from shoulder surgery. 0:15:12.680 --> 0:15:15.640 And Bruce dark Gradol, who has not pitched much in 0:15:15.680 --> 0:15:19.080 the last two years, having difficult setbacks with his right 0:15:19.120 --> 0:15:23.440 throwing shoulder as well, sent me a text yesterday, see 0:15:23.480 --> 0:15:26.440 you soon. So that's great news if the Dodgers can 0:15:26.480 --> 0:15:29.840 get Stuart and Graderol back in the next couple of months. 0:15:30.240 --> 0:15:32.920 All Right, it's time now to hear from manager Dave Roberts, 0:15:32.920 --> 0:15:36.480 who explained the line of thinking of changing the lineup 0:15:36.520 --> 0:15:41.320 and having Kyle Tucker hit cleanup today. 0:15:41.920 --> 0:15:45.040 Question for Dave, Dave, can you just describe Dave, Can 0:15:45.080 --> 0:15:46.760 you talk about the pressure. 0:15:47.160 --> 0:15:49.840 In the dugouts with Dave Roberts. 0:15:50.080 --> 0:15:54.520 Yeah, I think it's more of just trying to uh 0:15:54.960 --> 0:15:56.320 give Kyle a different look. 0:15:57.720 --> 0:15:58.560 I think that. 0:16:00.120 --> 0:16:02.560 Obviously, you know, going through it right now and not 0:16:02.680 --> 0:16:07.000 feeling great at the plate. So sometimes you know, the 0:16:07.120 --> 0:16:10.160 different visual letting the game come to a little bit 0:16:10.960 --> 0:16:14.560 before jumping in there, and the two you know changes 0:16:14.640 --> 0:16:16.560 is your outlook and potentially the results. 0:16:16.640 --> 0:16:20.920 So that's kind of the thought. And I'm gonna stick. 0:16:20.680 --> 0:16:25.240 With this for for the foreseeable future and we'll see where. 0:16:25.120 --> 0:16:27.640 It goes with talking to the guys right now and 0:16:27.800 --> 0:16:29.240 just what do you want to see from the offense 0:16:29.280 --> 0:16:31.440 as collective as they do look to get back on track. 0:16:31.480 --> 0:16:33.680 Obviously only four hits last night, but really to kind 0:16:33.680 --> 0:16:35.400 of get back to the quality that we have been 0:16:35.440 --> 0:16:36.240 seeing through must. 0:16:36.120 --> 0:16:36.600 Of this season. 0:16:38.120 --> 0:16:41.040 You know what, I was looking at the game last 0:16:41.120 --> 0:16:43.120 night and I thought, there are there are a lot 0:16:43.160 --> 0:16:44.960 of good at bets. I thought we had some balls 0:16:45.000 --> 0:16:48.640 hard and this guy today is hard to square up. 0:16:49.920 --> 0:16:52.600 We've got him, He's got us really a lot of 0:16:52.600 --> 0:16:56.800 respect for Webbing. So for me, just take good at 0:16:56.800 --> 0:17:00.240 bets and I do think that it'll turn. It's one 0:17:00.280 --> 0:17:03.240 of those things that baseball hitting is pretty cyclical, and 0:17:03.360 --> 0:17:06.040 right now, you know, recently we're just not getting the 0:17:06.080 --> 0:17:07.760 results that we would expect. 0:17:08.280 --> 0:17:11.719 Have you gathered from Kyle that he wasn't comfortable hitting second. 0:17:12.320 --> 0:17:15.480 No, No, I just went into him last night and 0:17:15.680 --> 0:17:18.840 just had a quick conversation and you know, just told 0:17:18.880 --> 0:17:21.640 of my thoughts and he was agreeable and that was it. 0:17:21.720 --> 0:17:27.600 So you know, yeah, so that that was kind of old. 0:17:27.600 --> 0:17:29.520 But I didn't have any other feeling outside of just 0:17:29.600 --> 0:17:31.920 kind of feeling just to change it up a little bit. 0:17:32.119 --> 0:17:34.400 Did you still feel him trying to do a little 0:17:34.400 --> 0:17:36.600 bit as much and just doing this tak some of them? 0:17:36.680 --> 0:17:38.480 Just like the pressure off is I kind of work 0:17:38.560 --> 0:17:38.720 to do? 0:17:40.040 --> 0:17:45.120 You know, I do feel he's trying to do too much. 0:17:48.560 --> 0:17:51.879 It's still a prime part in the order, and so, 0:17:52.760 --> 0:17:55.760 you know, I'd like to think that it's not pressure based, 0:17:56.920 --> 0:18:00.920 but the reality is that he's scuffling right now. I 0:18:01.000 --> 0:18:06.919 definitely expect him to come out of it and you 0:18:06.960 --> 0:18:09.199 know and hit and get on base and do what 0:18:09.280 --> 0:18:15.199 he's done for many years. So yeah, honestly, Jack, I 0:18:15.280 --> 0:18:18.440 just wanted to change it up and felt like it 0:18:18.480 --> 0:18:18.800 was time. 0:18:20.240 --> 0:18:23.320 All right, there's manager Dave Roberts on deciding to drop 0:18:23.400 --> 0:18:25.880 Kyle Tucker down in the order from the number two 0:18:25.960 --> 0:18:29.240 spot to hitting cleanup. And look like Dave Roberts said, 0:18:29.320 --> 0:18:32.960 hitting cleanup is not a demotion it's just a chance 0:18:33.000 --> 0:18:35.439 for Tucker to ease into the game, and from what 0:18:35.480 --> 0:18:38.880 I've heard, Tucker really likes to see what that pitcher's 0:18:38.920 --> 0:18:42.440 got that day, and hitting seconds. Sometimes maybe he's doing 0:18:42.480 --> 0:18:44.679 what you're not supposed to do as a hitter, and 0:18:44.720 --> 0:18:48.520 that's rush to hit. When we continue here a Wrongo 0:18:48.600 --> 0:18:51.800 Casino Dodgers on Deck, we'll get into more of Kyle 0:18:51.840 --> 0:18:54.760 Tucker and the Dodgers' batting order, and also you'll hear 0:18:54.840 --> 0:18:57.879 from Oral Herscheizer, who joined us yesterday and shared some 0:18:57.920 --> 0:19:01.399 of his memories of pitching not here at Oracle Park, 0:19:01.480 --> 0:19:06.640 but at Candlestick Park, which was archaic to put it kindly. 0:19:06.960 --> 0:19:09.400 We're leading you up to first pitch between the Dodgers 0:19:09.400 --> 0:19:12.359 and Giants, first pitch at twelve forty five. I'm David 0:19:12.400 --> 0:19:14.959 Vasse and this is the back to back World Champion 0:19:15.000 --> 0:19:16.320 Dodgers Audio Network. 0:19:19.920 --> 0:19:21.560 As we were saying, this. 0:19:22.320 --> 0:19:26.680 Is Marongo Casino Dodgers on jack on the official home 0:19:26.760 --> 0:19:28.639 of La Dodgers Baseball. 0:19:32.119 --> 0:19:36.040 David Vasse live at Oracle Park in San Francisco, as 0:19:36.119 --> 0:19:39.359 the Dodgers are wrapping up this seven game road trip today, 0:19:39.680 --> 0:19:42.200 trying to salvage the final game of this series against 0:19:42.280 --> 0:19:42.880
