Well. The Dodgers off 35 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,520 Speaker 4: yesterday to travel to the East Coast. Before that Wednesday 36 00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:50,640 Speaker 4: night at the Ravine, they wrapped up their home stand 37 00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,240 Speaker 4: against the Guardians. A rough one in the rubber game 38 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:56,040 Speaker 4: between the Dodgers and Guardians. As far as the Dodgers 39 00:01:56,200 --> 00:02:00,440 Speaker 4: offense was concerned, they ran into big Gavin Williams six 40 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:04,280 Speaker 4: foot six right hander was really good for the Guardians, 41 00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:07,560 Speaker 4: hitting his fastball in the corners ninety nine seventy or 42 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,520 Speaker 4: seven shutout innings. He allowed just two hits along the 43 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,799 Speaker 4: way while striking out ten. He got three ground ball 44 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:16,800 Speaker 4: double plays from the Dodgers, who had limited traffic on 45 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:20,920 Speaker 4: the base pass early on. Meanwhile, Yoshinobu Yamamoto six innings, 46 00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:24,240 Speaker 4: two runs, four hits, two strikeouts through eighty seven pitches, 47 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,680 Speaker 4: had a one two three first, a one two three second, 48 00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:30,040 Speaker 4: but then a leadoff double to Daniel Schneman to lead 49 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,880 Speaker 4: off the third. He stole third and on the play 50 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:34,920 Speaker 4: a throw in the left field from Will Smith brought 51 00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:38,359 Speaker 4: in a run. Nick batter Gabriel Arias a solo home run, 52 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 4: and just like that, it was a two to nothing 53 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 4: Guardians lead. Fast forward to the eighth inning, Will kleinb 54 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:47,480 Speaker 4: a two out walk pitching James brought in Tanner Scott, who, 55 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 4: on an O two pitch with two outs to Jose Ramirez, 56 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:54,680 Speaker 4: gives up a two run home run. So what was 57 00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:58,160 Speaker 4: a two nothing Guardians lead ballooned up to a four 58 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:02,080 Speaker 4: to nothing Guardians lead Dodgers down but not out in 59 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,200 Speaker 4: the ninth inning thanks to Freddie Freeman. 60 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:06,799 Speaker 2: Three of them belong to Andy Potters. They say two 61 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 2: three and the other one to Taoscar Hernandez, two to 62 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 2: oz and Freddie Hammers went deep the center failed this 63 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,400 Speaker 2: ball heading back toward the wall in his cart a 64 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:20,160 Speaker 2: home run and the Dodgers hope they shutout tonight. It 65 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 2: is four to one as Freddy Freeman launches his first 66 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:25,840 Speaker 2: home run of the season. 67 00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,600 Speaker 1: The three hundred and sixty eighth home run. 68 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 2: Of his career. 69 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,800 Speaker 4: Freddie Freeman prevents the shutout with the solo home run. 70 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 4: Will Smith then went deep to the center. Bud flew 71 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 4: out to the wall to end the game. Guardians beat 72 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,200 Speaker 4: the Dodgers on Wednesday night, four to one. Kevin Williams 73 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 4: against the winning Yoshanoba Yamamoto against the loss. Dodgers go 74 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,280 Speaker 4: four and two on the opening homestand after a day 75 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 4: off to travel, they're back at it today the Nationals 76 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:55,920 Speaker 4: home opener in our Nation's capital, Washington, d C. Dodgers, 77 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 4: and that's Immit Sheen on the mound, first pitch of 78 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 4: ten oh five. With more we head out the Galpin 79 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,240 Speaker 4: of four broadcast booth. Is we welcome in Steven Nelson 80 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:05,720 Speaker 4: and Rick Monday, guys, thank you Tim. 81 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 6: It is opening day in DC at Nationals Park, the 82 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 6: Washington Nationals playing their first home game with twenty twenty six, 83 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 6: and Mode the Dodgers playing their first road game of 84 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,160 Speaker 6: twenty twenty six. Isn't it an odd to have a 85 00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:21,120 Speaker 6: four and two homestand or a stretch of six games 86 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:24,160 Speaker 6: in which you win four of them, and yet the 87 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 6: feelings and the vibes around the team almost indicate two 88 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 6: and four. That's the way the offensive struggles have kind 89 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,719 Speaker 6: of pushed things over that Guardian series. Ma'pet a chance 90 00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:36,240 Speaker 6: to kind of wipe those away here on the road. 91 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:37,840 Speaker 7: Now, Yeah, I think it's a good point, and I 92 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 7: think it's a lot because of expectations that this ball 93 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,280 Speaker 7: club has of itself. But if you start to look 94 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 7: at it, you know, the opposing team, for example, has 95 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,360 Speaker 7: scored first in the five of the six games that 96 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:50,800 Speaker 7: have played so far. So you look at the four 97 00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 7: victories and you know three of those four have been 98 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 7: come from behind. They've had to do it. And if 99 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:57,720 Speaker 7: we're looking at the last game that they played in 100 00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,600 Speaker 7: that series, they had a very well pitched game against him. 101 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,040 Speaker 7: But you know, the bat's a big, big question, in 102 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:05,760 Speaker 7: particular at the top of the order, because if you 103 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,040 Speaker 7: look at Otani, Tucker, and Bets. Those will be the 104 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:11,280 Speaker 7: three hitters to lead it off for Dave Roberts Ball 105 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:14,640 Speaker 7: Club today. Combined, they're just hitting at one fifty nine. 106 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,920 Speaker 7: Not to put the two losses on them, but they 107 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 7: need to get something going from an offensive standpoint and 108 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:24,480 Speaker 7: make better contact because the last two games collectively, the 109 00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,480 Speaker 7: Dodgers are struck out as a team twenty three times. 110 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, and you know, Kyle Tucker is a guy throughout 111 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:30,760 Speaker 4: his career mode. 112 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:34,400 Speaker 6: He does not strike out far below league average his 113 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:37,280 Speaker 6: career strikeout rate, but it is way above his career 114 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,760 Speaker 6: average this year to start. Granted it is very very early, 115 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,720 Speaker 6: but watching these abs, do you get the feeling or 116 00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:46,040 Speaker 6: the sense that it's still spring training for a number 117 00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 6: of these guys, Like just based on how they look 118 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 6: in the box, like it still feels like they're kind 119 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,240 Speaker 6: of searching for that feel at the play. 120 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,640 Speaker 7: It could be, but it's been kind of come and go, 121 00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:00,280 Speaker 7: you know, up high Milki Metts. It's the home run figure, 122 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,440 Speaker 7: okay all as well, and since that time has been 123 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:04,560 Speaker 7: kind of a dry spell. Three for twenty two for 124 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:08,760 Speaker 7: Mookie Betts. Otania is three for eighteen, Tucker is four 125 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:12,080 Speaker 7: for twenty three on top of it. I think it's 126 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 7: a good point. Yeah, it's the early going. But I 127 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:18,480 Speaker 7: will also say this, in particular the two losses, the 128 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 7: Dodgers have seen some very good pitching that's been thrown 129 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,200 Speaker 7: against them. And as we know, you know, you come 130 00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:27,760 Speaker 7: back back to back world championships. All we have to 131 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,279 Speaker 7: do is look at the television today, the local news. 132 00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:32,880 Speaker 7: They're talking about, Hey, the world champion Dodgers were in. 133 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:35,480 Speaker 7: The guys in the other dugout are very aware of that, 134 00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:37,360 Speaker 7: and they understand, Hey, look, we're going to circle this 135 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:39,839 Speaker 7: because the best of the best is coming into town. 136 00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,880 Speaker 6: And the Nationals and Dodgers last year three and three 137 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:46,440 Speaker 6: split their season series. The home team won each of 138 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:48,680 Speaker 6: the series.

Here we are opening day 180 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:57,360 Speaker 4: in our nation's capital for the Washington Nationals, Dodgers starting 181 00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:00,199 Speaker 4: a three game series, and Kious of the Dodgers' on 182 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:03,240 Speaker 4: off his series against the Guardians. Well, quite frankly, the 183 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:06,280 Speaker 4: top of the lineup, the Big four just didn't do 184 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:09,120 Speaker 4: a lot. Yeah, no, they didn't. 185 00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:10,959 Speaker 8: And even when you just are kind of like looking 186 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 8: at the numbers, especially in those last two games of 187 00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:18,000 Speaker 8: that Guardian series, the team had twenty three strikeouts, and 188 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,360 Speaker 8: obviously when you look at that feels like a large 189 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,960 Speaker 8: number no matter what. But with this offense right now, 190 00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,199 Speaker 8: You've talked to guys and some feel like, you know, 191 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:28,200 Speaker 8: they're clicking. And even I I was talking to Max 192 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:31,120 Speaker 8: Monsey recently, he said that he had a he feels 193 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:32,960 Speaker 8: really good at the play. He's not getting the results 194 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:35,360 Speaker 8: as much right now, but he does feel like things 195 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:37,040 Speaker 8: are in a good spot. And that seems to kind 196 00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:40,160 Speaker 8: of be like a shared response. Some guys feel like 197 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,679 Speaker 8: things are close, maybe they're not there just yet. Other 198 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:44,880 Speaker 8: guys feel really good. You've got someone like Heavy Pahas 199 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:49,000 Speaker 8: who had three hits on Wednesday. So even when Doc 200 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:50,839 Speaker 8: was talking about it, he just was saying that he 201 00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:53,160 Speaker 8: feels like guys are kind of figuring out their swings 202 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:55,319 Speaker 8: right now. Yes, the amount of strikeout, especially in those 203 00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:57,560 Speaker 8: last two games, is a little bit concerning, but everyone 204 00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:00,960 Speaker 8: does believe that it's going to truly level out. Today 205 00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:03,240 Speaker 8: they are facing Michaels, who's going to be having his 206 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:05,680 Speaker 8: second start of the regular season, and Dave was saying 207 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:08,040 Speaker 8: that they've seen him a lot over the years. He 208 00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:10,520 Speaker 8: has a heavy curve ball cutter, might sneak in the 209 00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:12,920 Speaker 8: fastball there, but they say he was saying that he's 210 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,040 Speaker 8: not really a strikeout guy, so when it comes to 211 00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:18,520 Speaker 8: just like that strikeout rate, they're not too concerned when 212 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,120 Speaker 8: it comes to this matchup. Obviously, if we continue to 213 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,400 Speaker 8: see the strikeout rates being a hi, then that will 214 00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:25,920 Speaker 8: lead to more questions in regard to the offense. But 215 00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:27,959 Speaker 8: he does expect that the ball is going to be 216 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:29,719 Speaker 8: a bit more in play and he just wants to 217 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,959 Speaker 8: see his players continue just to take quality at bats. 218 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,599 Speaker 8: They are getting on base, so if they can continue that, 219 00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:38,000 Speaker 8: they do believe the swings are gonna come. The big 220 00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:38,880 Speaker 8: ones will be here. 221 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,040 Speaker 4: It's just no, it's still early in the season and 222 00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:43,800 Speaker 4: may need a little bit more time. On the other side, 223 00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,120 Speaker 4: Image she And making his second start of the season 224 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:48,320 Speaker 4: last time out, couldn't get out of the fourth Inny. 225 00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:52,440 Speaker 8: Yeah, and with Emmett, when they broke down the numbers, 226 00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:56,400 Speaker 8: he noticed that his velocity was a bit low slider 227 00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:58,760 Speaker 8: and then even on that fastball. So for him in 228 00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:01,520 Speaker 8: twenty twenty five, he was at like the ninety five 229 00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:04,400 Speaker 8: point six mouse power arrange. When it came to his 230 00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 8: four steamer in his first start of the season, he 231 00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:09,920 Speaker 8: was down to ninety four. Now, we do know early 232 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,000 Speaker 8: in spring he was a bit under the weather, but 233 00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:14,719 Speaker 8: Dave said today he doesn't believe that that's contributing to 234 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,559 Speaker 8: just this slight drop off in velocity for him. 235 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:19,240 Speaker 4: He said that Mark. 236 00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:21,800 Speaker 8: Pryor, as well as Connor McGinnis, they're working closely with 237 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:24,920 Speaker 8: Emmitt Shean just to understand kind of working through a 238 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:27,280 Speaker 8: few mechanical things, trying to get his delivery in the 239 00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:29,920 Speaker 8: right spot. And they do believe that, you know, coming 240 00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:31,840 Speaker 8: into this when he's able to clean some stuff up 241 00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:33,880 Speaker 8: and so we should start to see things move in 242 00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 8: the right direction for Emmett. But you're right, you know, 243 00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:40,080 Speaker 8: when it comes to kind of taking down innings, they 244 00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:42,120 Speaker 8: do want to see him get deeper into the game 245 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:44,800 Speaker 8: and be a little bit more efficient. This rotation right 246 00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:47,280 Speaker 8: now is moving to a six man rotation, so that 247 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:51,040 Speaker 8: show Hey gets an extra day, and that means that 248 00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:53,839 Speaker 8: Justin Robleski is not going to be available in a 249 00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:57,480 Speaker 8: piggyback situation. We could potentially seem available for like one 250 00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:00,360 Speaker 8: inning of work on Sunday. Dave Roberts said today, but 251 00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:02,439 Speaker 8: there's no one who's going to be there to take 252 00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:04,960 Speaker 8: down a bulk of innings if need be, to help protect, 253 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,920 Speaker 8: whether it's an Emma Chian or even a Rokie Sasaki 254 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,080 Speaker 8: who's going to be pitching in this series as well. 255 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:12,640 Speaker 8: So it will be interesting to see kind of how 256 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:15,560 Speaker 8: Emma can continue just to evolve. But they did say 257 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:17,439 Speaker 8: that it felt like he cleaned up some stuff and 258 00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:19,240 Speaker 8: they do believe he's in a good position, but they 259 00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:20,800 Speaker 8: do want to see him eat up some more innings. 260 00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:23,480 Speaker 4: We'll find out what happens. Kristen, appreciate it. We'll check 261 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:25,240 Speaker 4: in with you after the game.

Let's head back out to our 288 00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:52,040 Speaker 4: nation's Capitol and check out the Dodgers manager. 289 00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:54,920 Speaker 5: Questions for Dave? 290 00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:57,120 Speaker 1: Dave, can you just describe Dave? 291 00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:00,640 Speaker 4: Can you talk about the pressure in the out. 292 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:01,640 Speaker 1: With Dave Roberts. 293 00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:07,200 Speaker 9: Yeah, you know, we've seen Michaelis a lot over the years. 294 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:11,880 Speaker 9: You know, it's a heavy curveball. There's a cutter in there. 295 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:15,640 Speaker 9: He'll sneak the fastball in there. Not really a strikeout guy. 296 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:18,120 Speaker 9: So I would expect to, you know, ball and play 297 00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:23,320 Speaker 9: a lot more today. Yeah, but I think that the 298 00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:26,120 Speaker 9: approaches are fine. I just think that there's some there's 299 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:28,840 Speaker 9: a little bit with certain guys. There's certainly some chase 300 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:32,360 Speaker 9: in there. But I think that the strikeout to walk 301 00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:34,800 Speaker 9: will kind of bounce itself out. 302 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:36,800 Speaker 8: Then on Wednesday, you had mentioned you were going to 303 00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:39,000 Speaker 8: check in with Showhy after he was kind of rolling 304 00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:41,120 Speaker 8: out that right risk. Did you hear anything or just 305 00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:43,880 Speaker 8: was that kind of a maybe something has bothered him 306 00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:44,240 Speaker 8: that day? 307 00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:46,920 Speaker 9: You know, I talked to Thomas about it and he 308 00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:50,120 Speaker 9: says that it's a non issue. So we saw, we saw. 309 00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:52,640 Speaker 9: But that's that's good news that it's not an issue. 310 00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:52,840 Speaker 3: Though. 311 00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:55,640 Speaker 4: All right, there's a manager Dave Roberts certainly good news. 312 00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,400 Speaker 4: When we continue here, on Wrongo because you know, Dodgers 313 00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:01,120 Speaker 4: on Deck.

But as 329 00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:51,600 Speaker 4: far as the Dodgers are concerned, any answers for this 330 00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:54,160 Speaker 4: slow start to the Dodgers' bats. 331 00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:57,640 Speaker 5: Well, I've heard a few different theories, and one that 332 00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:00,640 Speaker 5: seems to be the one that most people around the 333 00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:05,040 Speaker 5: team are talking about or hypothesizing about, is the fact 334 00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:10,960 Speaker 5: that during spring training, for various different reasons for each 335 00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:15,800 Speaker 5: player World Baseball Classic load management, the Dodgers really slow 336 00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:18,600 Speaker 5: played a lot of their hitters during spring training, and 337 00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:23,000 Speaker 5: maybe that is working against them as the season starts. 338 00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:27,200 Speaker 5: But the one thing that's alarming is that Kyle Tucker 339 00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:29,960 Speaker 5: is striking out at a forty percent rate. That is 340 00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:32,640 Speaker 5: not something that is going to continue. If I'm the 341 00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:36,520 Speaker 5: Nationals Tim, I would be very concerned because show hal 342 00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:39,240 Speaker 5: Tommy does not have a home run, does not have 343 00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:42,080 Speaker 5: an extra base it. You know that's not going to 344 00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:45,040 Speaker 5: last very long. You got Mookie Beds and Freddie Freeman 345 00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:47,680 Speaker 5: and Kyle Tucker all in a little bit of a 346 00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:52,160 Speaker 5: slump during that opening homestand so at some point these 347 00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:54,000 Speaker 5: guys are going to break out, And I would be 348 00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:57,240 Speaker 5: kind of nervous if I'm Miles Michaelis, who the Dodgers 349 00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:58,440 Speaker 5: have handled in the past. 350 00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:01,040 Speaker 4: David is brought to you by the Ford Motor Trends. 351 00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:03,320 Speaker 4: In the North American Truck of the Year, You're Ford 352 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:06,159 Speaker 4: Maverick everything you need in the most initiative truck with 353 00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:08,960 Speaker 4: forty two miles per gallon and the best MSRP of 354 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:10,760 Speaker 4: its category is time to see Ford in a new 355 00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:14,080 Speaker 4: likely or Southern California four dealers today on the flip side. 356 00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:16,560 Speaker 4: Sheen on the mountain, his second start of the season. 357 00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:20,800 Speaker 5: David, Yeah, the Dodgers need some length out of Emmit Sheen. 358 00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:23,119 Speaker 5: I'm not sure if you heard this story, Tim, but 359 00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:27,680 Speaker 5: during spring training it was March sixteenth in Mesa. Emmit 360 00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:32,320 Speaker 5: Sheen's fast fastball velocity was in the low nineties, mid nineties, 361 00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:34,040 Speaker 5: and I asked him about it, and he said it 362 00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:37,919 Speaker 5: was a mechanical issue that was preventing him from really 363 00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:41,520 Speaker 5: achieving ninety five. And that's what he said after the 364 00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:44,560 Speaker 5: last start as well, that the reason why his fastball 365 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:48,320 Speaker 5: velocity was so low is because of some mechanics that 366 00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:51,960 Speaker 5: were not syncd up. But the reality is, you got 367 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:55,720 Speaker 5: two guys in your rotation right now in Roki Sasaki 368 00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:59,400 Speaker 5: and Emic Sheen that have given you basically four innings. 369 00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:04,000 Speaker 5: Robert said earlier today, that's not sustainable to remain in 370 00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:07,400 Speaker 5: the rotation. So Ima Sheen needs to find a way 371 00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:10,560 Speaker 5: to compete to give the Dodgers some length and log 372 00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:11,480 Speaker 5: some innings. 373 00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:15,080 Speaker 4: In Dave's words, yesterday at off Day, a travel day 374 00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:16,879 Speaker 4: for the Dodgers, back to the East Coast.

I 452 00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:37,240 Speaker 5: don't know how you feel about that. But it kind 453 00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:39,480 Speaker 5: of looks from all the way up here, looks like 454 00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:41,440 Speaker 5: it's got some swag. 455 00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:43,119 Speaker 4: As the kids like this swag. 456 00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:45,440 Speaker 7: I mean, it's somewhat similar to what we see in 457 00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:48,159 Speaker 7: spring training, you know, with the blue top and in 458 00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:51,399 Speaker 7: the Great Tants. You know, the doctors have you know, 459 00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:55,080 Speaker 7: if they changed their uniforms, not that often I think 460 00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:58,440 Speaker 7: of I think of three teams in particular to me 461 00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:01,280 Speaker 7: iconic uniforms over the years. 462 00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:03,399 Speaker 4: The Dodgers without question. 463 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:05,479 Speaker 7: I mean, it just pops when you see the Dodgers 464 00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:08,359 Speaker 7: across the front and then occasionally on the road as 465 00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:11,480 Speaker 7: Los Angeles as well. I think of the Cardinals uniform 466 00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:13,360 Speaker 7: with the birds on the bat. 467 00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:13,880 Speaker 4: And the Yankees. 468 00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:17,639 Speaker 7: I mean, if you look at the end one okay, fine, 469 00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:20,600 Speaker 7: but I think the Dodgers, without question, one of the 470 00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:25,760 Speaker 7: truly iconic uniforms of really any team and just about 471 00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:26,320 Speaker 7: any sport. 472 00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:29,440 Speaker 5: And Amid Shean wants to wear that jersey as long 473 00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:32,240 Speaker 5: as he can. Dave Roberts said it's not sustainable to 474 00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:34,440 Speaker 5: have two guys that only go four innings. 475 00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:38,879 Speaker 7: No, no, it's not, and it was not really spot 476 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:41,800 Speaker 7: on for she and I think also from standpoint I 477 00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:44,480 Speaker 7: looked at some numbers last night with them at Sheen. 478 00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:45,680 Speaker 4: If we go back to last. 479 00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:49,160 Speaker 7: Year, think of the high percentage of strikes that were thrown, 480 00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:52,320 Speaker 7: especially first pitch strikes. Not the case that we saw 481 00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:57,040 Speaker 7: in the original outing. Both of these guys today very 482 00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:59,639 Speaker 7: good changeups off speed pitches, and they need to get 483 00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:01,920 Speaker 7: the most with a slider, no question about it. Michael's 484 00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:05,000 Speaker 7: the Dodgers have seen him before and we'll find out 485 00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:07,520 Speaker 7: what happens. But this is kind of fun.

He's starting opposite Emmett she 724 00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:55,160 Speaker 6: And for the Dodgers and Mole. Before we get your 725 00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:58,040 Speaker 6: big key of the game, diving into this starting pitching matchup, 726 00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:02,360 Speaker 6: all to talk about the Dodgers' offensive struggles early on 727 00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:06,279 Speaker 6: in this season with respect knowing that the other side, hey, 728 00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:09,640 Speaker 6: they're big leaguers too. There are at least a couple 729 00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:12,840 Speaker 6: pitchers on this National staff where the Dodgers should get to. 730 00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:14,200 Speaker 10: Them, including today. 731 00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:17,240 Speaker 7: If we look at Miles Michaelis, seven starts, ten games 732 00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:21,200 Speaker 7: overall era career against the Dodgers. Yes, that's in the past, 733 00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:25,840 Speaker 7: but an era of over six Okay, that's one thing. However, 734 00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:28,360 Speaker 7: I think both of these ball clubs have to be 735 00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:32,120 Speaker 7: very cognizant. For the Nationals was Emitt Sheen, who was 736 00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:36,080 Speaker 7: not particularly sharp in his first outing, but she and 737 00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:38,920 Speaker 7: a very good slider and a good change up. And 738 00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:41,399 Speaker 7: I mentioned the change up in the slider because that's 739 00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:43,880 Speaker 7: what the Dodger hitters have to look at. At Miles Michaelis, 740 00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:47,040 Speaker 7: how about this number the last two years for michaelas 741 00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:49,560 Speaker 7: if you're a Dodger hitter, you're going to looking off 742 00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:52,680 Speaker 7: speed pitch well, the first pitch. In the last two 743 00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:56,560 Speaker 7: years to hitters, exactly fifty percent of the pitches have 744 00:35:56,760 --> 00:35:59,920 Speaker 7: been off speed. He's not gonna blow the fastball by, 745 00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:02,680 Speaker 7: but he will change speeds and change very well. 746 00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:06,720 Speaker 6: Miles michaelis Emmitt Shean, the Dodgers and the Nationals opening 747 00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:09,520 Speaker 6: day at Nationals Park.
