Game one was Saturday in Philadelphia. Show Hey 0:01:49.200 --> 0:01:53.560 Otani and Christopher Sanchez went toe to toe for six innings. 0:01:53.600 --> 0:01:56.040 Show hey Otani had a little bit of a hiccup 0:01:56.080 --> 0:01:58.520 in the second as a ball got to the wall 0:01:58.520 --> 0:02:02.200 from JT room Muto triple, two runs scored, then a sackfly. 0:02:02.480 --> 0:02:03.000 Just like that. 0:02:03.360 --> 0:02:06.560 The Phillies jumped out to a three nothing lead. But 0:02:06.920 --> 0:02:10.760 O'tani would settle in on Saturday, putting up zero's the 0:02:10.840 --> 0:02:13.680 rest of the way. He would go six innings, striking 0:02:13.720 --> 0:02:17.560 out nine. Christopher Sanchez was good through the first five innings. 0:02:17.720 --> 0:02:18.560 Dodgers could not. 0:02:18.600 --> 0:02:21.640 Get to him until the six when they got traffic 0:02:21.680 --> 0:02:23.079 on the base for key. 0:02:23.000 --> 0:02:26.880 Kin, the best two out offense in baseball the last 0:02:26.880 --> 0:02:31.480 two years, show up again. On a one zero pitch, 0:02:31.960 --> 0:02:35.320 Hernandez turns on one down the line fare ball into 0:02:35.320 --> 0:02:39.640 the left field corner. Freddie Freeman's coming home. Tommy Edmond 0:02:39.760 --> 0:02:42.840 running through a stop sign, and he does so sweetly. 0:02:43.240 --> 0:02:47.520 He slides in safely to score. Keiy k Hernandez plates 0:02:47.560 --> 0:02:50.280 a pair with a two out, two run double. 0:02:50.720 --> 0:02:54.679 Key k Hernandez delivers mister October with a two run 0:02:54.720 --> 0:02:57.200 double with two outs in the six that made it 0:02:57.280 --> 0:02:59.240 a three to two Phillies lead. 0:02:59.600 --> 0:03:00.359 Then at the. 0:03:00.160 --> 0:03:03.760 Seventh, the Dodgers got after the Phillies bullpen runners on 0:03:04.120 --> 0:03:05.400 two out for Tao. 0:03:05.840 --> 0:03:07.600 It has been a tough night for Tao. 0:03:08.320 --> 0:03:12.600 Zero for three, three strikeouts and part of the misplaying 0:03:12.680 --> 0:03:14.760 right field, and the Phillies scored three runs in the 0:03:14.800 --> 0:03:19.040 second inning. He can make up for it with one swing. 0:03:19.160 --> 0:03:22.919 The pitch get high in the air right center field, 0:03:22.919 --> 0:03:25.160 Baitter on the run on the warning track, He's. 0:03:25.000 --> 0:03:25.680 At the wall. 0:03:26.000 --> 0:03:30.480 It's gone. 0:03:30.240 --> 0:03:31.240 Tao time. 0:03:31.320 --> 0:03:35.880 In Game one, he flips the scoreboard with a three 0:03:35.960 --> 0:03:37.400 run bomb. 0:03:40.000 --> 0:03:44.440 And all of a sudden Citizens Bank Park resembles a library. 0:03:44.760 --> 0:03:48.440 Yeah he got quiet in Philadelphia, tey Oscar Hernandez the 0:03:48.480 --> 0:03:51.280 three run home run of the seventh Dodgers with a 0:03:51.400 --> 0:03:53.360 five to three lead. That is a top tier player 0:03:53.360 --> 0:03:55.640 of the game, brought to you by Arco quality, top 0:03:55.680 --> 0:03:59.760 tier gas for less. The Dodgers bullpen after Otani, Tyler 0:04:00.320 --> 0:04:02.480 now and inning in two thirds, Alex Vessi got the 0:04:02.480 --> 0:04:04.880 final out of the eighth inning to get out of 0:04:04.960 --> 0:04:07.840 dodge and then the ninth inning belonged to the new 0:04:07.960 --> 0:04:12.600 Dodger quote unquote closer Rochi Sasaki, who gave up a hit, 0:04:12.800 --> 0:04:15.200 also struck out a batter put up a zero in 0:04:15.280 --> 0:04:18.200 the ninth to get the save. Dodgers come back beat 0:04:18.240 --> 0:04:21.440 the Phillies and steal Game one of the National League 0:04:21.440 --> 0:04:25.039 Divisional Series, where a five to three victory show Hey 0:04:25.040 --> 0:04:28.120 Otani gets the whim. The Dodgers now looking to make 0:04:28.160 --> 0:04:32.200 it too straight in Philadelphia as they send Blake Snell 0:04:32.360 --> 0:04:34.840 to the mound. First pitch from the bank is coming 0:04:34.920 --> 0:04:37.440 up at three to eight with more Let's head out 0:04:37.440 --> 0:04:39.760 to the Galvin Motors broadcast. But as we welcome in 0:04:40.080 --> 0:04:42.960 Steven Nelson and Rick Monday, guys. 0:04:42.360 --> 0:04:46.320 Tim Kates, that off day on Sunday felt like three days. 0:04:46.360 --> 0:04:49.239 But we're back at Citizens Bank Ballpark on this Monday 0:04:49.279 --> 0:04:52.120 evening in Philly. The Dodgers gonna try and get greedy 0:04:52.680 --> 0:04:54.480 here in the Nation League Division Series. 0:04:54.200 --> 0:04:55.000 Here Rick Monday. 0:04:55.120 --> 0:04:59.920 Yes, they won Game one and they stole home field advantage, 0:05:00.520 --> 0:05:02.920 but they don't want to stop there. Blake Snell against 0:05:02.960 --> 0:05:06.400 Jesus Lozardo, give me your sense for tonight on the 0:05:06.440 --> 0:05:07.400 heels of a good game one. 0:05:07.839 --> 0:05:10.080 Well, first of all, if you win the first two 0:05:10.120 --> 0:05:12.040 on the road in the best of five, the numbers 0:05:12.080 --> 0:05:15.320 are round the overwhelming and the Phillies could really care less. 0:05:16.080 --> 0:05:18.240 This is a huge game for both these teams, and 0:05:18.600 --> 0:05:21.520 even more so for Philadelphia. The reason is in the 0:05:21.520 --> 0:05:24.919 best of five series, teams that have won the first 0:05:24.920 --> 0:05:27.720 two games on the road gods have a chance to 0:05:27.720 --> 0:05:31.479 do that have gone on thirty one and three is 0:05:31.520 --> 0:05:34.320 the outcome in those series. That's all well and good, 0:05:34.360 --> 0:05:37.400 but they still have nine outs to get in the 0:05:37.400 --> 0:05:39.400 first three innings, and nine outs in the next three, 0:05:39.400 --> 0:05:42.200 and then nine outs in the next one. So all 0:05:42.279 --> 0:05:44.880 in all, the Phillies understand exactly what they have to do. 0:05:45.160 --> 0:05:49.000 And I think the Dodger hitters understand as well, not 0:05:49.240 --> 0:05:52.080 chasing balls out of the strike zone and just continue 0:05:52.080 --> 0:05:53.599 with the plan. And that plan has worked at this 0:05:53.640 --> 0:05:54.400 particular point. 0:05:54.600 --> 0:06:00.440 And winning Game one has historically voted well for a 0:06:00.480 --> 0:06:04.040 certain division series, but over just the last three years, 0:06:04.040 --> 0:06:06.720 eleven out of twelve winners of Game one went on 0:06:06.760 --> 0:06:10.200 to win the series. That one loss belongs to the Dodgers. 0:06:10.360 --> 0:06:12.320 In twenty twenty two, they took the opener from the 0:06:12.400 --> 0:06:16.680 Padres and then lost the next three. So tonight is 0:06:16.960 --> 0:06:20.600 that the Dodgers will throw out Blake Snell, who is 0:06:20.920 --> 0:06:23.280 seems to be peaking at the right time moment, and 0:06:24.000 --> 0:06:27.200 you saw his hunger and desire for the big moments 0:06:27.480 --> 0:06:30.080 his last regular season turn against the Phillies. 0:06:30.160 --> 0:06:31.520 I think that checks that box. 0:06:31.560 --> 0:06:34.719 And of certainly the started getting Cincinnati the Wildcard round, 0:06:34.800 --> 0:06:37.520 kicking that off with a series win, going past six 0:06:37.560 --> 0:06:39.640 innings the postseason for the first time in his career, 0:06:40.080 --> 0:06:43.760 he is showing Dodger fans really quickly that he wants 0:06:43.800 --> 0:06:44.920 the spotlight. 0:06:44.560 --> 0:06:47.760 Absolutely and for the Dodger pitching. And not to overlook 0:06:47.760 --> 0:06:50.760 the fact that in Game one with Otani, then Glassnott 0:06:50.800 --> 0:06:53.440 came on when an ending in two thirds, Vesia won 0:06:53.480 --> 0:06:56.080 a third and then Roki Sasaki came in and closed 0:06:56.120 --> 0:06:59.280 it down, picked up the same worked a ninth inning, 0:06:59.360 --> 0:07:02.320 gave up one. So the Dodgers were very good in 0:07:02.360 --> 0:07:04.960 game one, holding the big threesome at the top of 0:07:04.960 --> 0:07:07.640 the the Phillies lineup. If you look at Trade Turner, 0:07:07.760 --> 0:07:11.920 Kyle Schwarber, and then Bryce Harbor combined, they just went 0:07:12.040 --> 0:07:15.920 one for eleven with six strikeouts in game one. You 0:07:15.920 --> 0:07:18.400 would love to be able to repeat that. But he figures, 0:07:18.400 --> 0:07:19.800 you know, good hitting, he is going to rise to 0:07:19.880 --> 0:07:22.600 the top, no question about that. Don't have Max Munsey 0:07:22.640 --> 0:07:25.480 in the lineup again tonight. Don't have Will Smith yet 0:07:25.520 --> 0:07:27.640 in the lineup. Although he did come in Finch it 0:07:27.680 --> 0:07:29.720 stayed in the game in Game one, but he is 0:07:29.800 --> 0:07:31.320 available to come in if needed. 0:07:31.400 --> 0:07:33.240 Ye had to piggyback off that Tim as we get 0:07:33.240 --> 0:07:36.760 it back to Dave Roberts saying Will Smith does seem 0:07:36.800 --> 0:07:39.680 to be on track to perhaps start in game number three, 0:07:39.760 --> 0:07:42.400 but I think the Dodgers do not want to rock 0:07:42.440 --> 0:07:45.720 the boat with Ben Rourkevett doing such a tremendous job, 0:07:46.080 --> 0:07:49.800 particularly with the starting pitchers, and keep in mind Will 0:07:49.800 --> 0:07:51.800 Smith there was no rehab assignment, so the way that 0:07:51.840 --> 0:07:54.240 they eased him into Game one and likely will tonight 0:07:54.280 --> 0:07:57.440 in Game two, this is essentially a rehab assignment in 0:07:57.480 --> 0:07:59.800 the Nation League Division Series. Very unique, but of course 0:07:59.800 --> 0:08:01.880 Will Smith talented enough to do this. And then one 0:08:01.960 --> 0:08:04.680 last injury note for the Philly side, Harrison Bader. He 0:08:04.800 --> 0:08:07.680 left Saturday's game with groin tightness. He is not in 0:08:07.720 --> 0:08:10.400 the starting line up tonight. Rob Thompson said he may 0:08:10.400 --> 0:08:12.800 be available to come off the bench, but that takes 0:08:12.800 --> 0:08:15.240 a right handed bat away from the outfield, so it'll 0:08:15.280 --> 0:08:18.360 be Brandon marsh in centerfield instead of Harrison Bader. We'll 0:08:18.360 --> 0:08:20.080 be back a little bit later with some keys to 0:08:20.120 --> 0:08:20.360 the game. 0:08:20.480 --> 0:08:21.960 All right, thank you, Nelly, as we cut you down 0:08:21.960 --> 0:08:24.400 to first pitch.

You'll 0:08:36.040 --> 0:08:38.880 get the pregame thoughts of the manager Dave Roberts. We'll 0:08:38.880 --> 0:08:42.079 dive deeper into this Game two pitching matchup up next though. 0:08:42.400 --> 0:08:46.199 Kirston Watson from Sports net LA joins us as we 0:08:46.360 --> 0:08:49.560 lead you up to Dodgers and Phillies on this Monday, 0:08:49.679 --> 0:08:53.080 Game two of the National League Divisional Series.

Here we are Game two Dodgers 0:09:39.720 --> 0:09:43.720 looking to come back home with a decisive two tozero advantage, 0:09:43.880 --> 0:09:46.559 and Will Smith not in the lineup. I think that's 0:09:46.559 --> 0:09:49.080 a big story, Kirston. We thought maybe he'd be ready 0:09:49.080 --> 0:09:51.080 for game two. Came off the bench in game one. 0:09:51.400 --> 0:09:52.400 What's the plant to night? 0:09:53.400 --> 0:09:55.199 Yeah, And I think because you're right, because he did 0:09:55.200 --> 0:09:57.680 come off the bench in game one, caught the final 0:09:57.720 --> 0:10:00.400 five innings of that game, and then and also for 0:10:00.480 --> 0:10:02.560 him just to be on this roster, they feel that 0:10:02.600 --> 0:10:05.720 continuously his hand is getting stronger and healing. Even when 0:10:05.760 --> 0:10:07.680 he spoke to the media ahead of Game one, he 0:10:07.760 --> 0:10:10.400 was talking about how it's not one hundred percent just yet, 0:10:10.400 --> 0:10:13.560 but he is really, really close. So Dave Roberts was 0:10:13.559 --> 0:10:15.960 saying that he came out of game one feeling good. 0:10:15.960 --> 0:10:18.320 He came out of practice yesterday feeling good, but not 0:10:18.360 --> 0:10:21.280 necessarily in a position in which he's ready to catch. 0:10:21.200 --> 0:10:22.560 All nine innings of work. 0:10:22.679 --> 0:10:25.400 So they're kind of they're essentially building him up. So 0:10:25.559 --> 0:10:27.880 I mentioned it in game one, he caught the final 0:10:28.000 --> 0:10:31.480 five innings of that game. Today he's not in their 0:10:31.559 --> 0:10:33.960 starting Ben Wertvett is, but it does sound like we 0:10:34.000 --> 0:10:36.280 could be seeing him coming off the bench to pinch 0:10:36.360 --> 0:10:38.600 hit maybe a little bit early in it, so that 0:10:38.640 --> 0:10:41.360 they are building him up, and then the hope is 0:10:41.400 --> 0:10:44.160 when the team gets back to Los Angeles for Game three, 0:10:44.280 --> 0:10:46.000 then he'd be in a position as long as he 0:10:46.040 --> 0:10:48.880 continues to kind of bounce back. Even Dave said, the soreness, 0:10:48.880 --> 0:10:51.080 it's like a normal level of Sertans. It's not a 0:10:51.120 --> 0:10:55.280 concerning level. But he can continue just to progress and 0:10:55.360 --> 0:10:58.040 be in a good position come Game three. He could 0:10:58.080 --> 0:11:01.120 then take down the full nine innings that start. So 0:11:01.160 --> 0:11:02.600 it sounds like we might see him a little bit 0:11:02.679 --> 0:11:05.240 earlier in this game, but it's still looking at it 0:11:05.280 --> 0:11:07.600 as quote unquote like a build up for him behind 0:11:07.640 --> 0:11:07.960 the plate. 0:11:08.240 --> 0:11:11.640 Dodgers took Game one, finally getting into Christopher Sanchez in 0:11:11.679 --> 0:11:14.520 the sixth inning and then getting after that Phillies bullpen. 0:11:14.640 --> 0:11:16.880 It kind of feels like a Dodger's team that was 0:11:16.960 --> 0:11:18.679 just out there with the game plan to maybe get 0:11:18.720 --> 0:11:20.640 after that starting pitcher, maybe wear him down. 0:11:21.640 --> 0:11:24.400 Yeah, exactly so. But talking to a few guys after 0:11:24.440 --> 0:11:28.200 the game on Saturday, they were saying how in their 0:11:28.280 --> 0:11:31.120 hitters meeting, so Aaron Bates, one of the hitting coaches, 0:11:31.920 --> 0:11:33.240 he was saying, how. 0:11:33.559 --> 0:11:35.640 Christopher Sanchez has very good stuff. 0:11:35.640 --> 0:11:37.000 You know, you kind of have to fus see if 0:11:37.000 --> 0:11:39.600 you can make some adjustments in game, but like find 0:11:39.640 --> 0:11:41.880 ways to different ways to get to him, and if 0:11:41.880 --> 0:11:44.360 that's deeper in his outing, that's got to be the 0:11:44.360 --> 0:11:47.600 focus when you play here in Philadelphia. When I tell 0:11:47.640 --> 0:11:50.720 you these fans were in their seats ahead of first page, 0:11:50.800 --> 0:11:53.200 it was so loud to start the game. But as 0:11:53.240 --> 0:11:55.360 the game went on, and as the Dodgers are finding 0:11:55.360 --> 0:11:58.080 different oportunities to get on base, not necessarily making anything 0:11:58.120 --> 0:12:01.280 happen just yet, but putting themselves in different positions, you 0:12:01.320 --> 0:12:04.679 started to feel just kind of the crowd slowly kind 0:12:04.679 --> 0:12:06.600 of start to die down. And I guess Aaron Bates 0:12:06.600 --> 0:12:08.680 had shared with the guys like that's when you have 0:12:08.800 --> 0:12:09.560 to take advantage. 0:12:09.600 --> 0:12:10.880 That's when you have to strike. 0:12:10.640 --> 0:12:13.200 And really find a place to build some momentum. And 0:12:13.240 --> 0:12:15.640 the Dodgers did just that. We saw it with the 0:12:15.720 --> 0:12:18.200 Kei Ka Hernandez at bat, and then later, of course 0:12:18.240 --> 0:12:20.959 we saw tai Oscar Hernandez with that three run home 0:12:21.040 --> 0:12:24.480 run to then be to flip the score. So when 0:12:24.480 --> 0:12:26.400 you have situations like that, you know, you just have 0:12:26.440 --> 0:12:28.480 to understand you're coming into this place. It's going to 0:12:28.480 --> 0:12:30.800 be a hostile environment, but there's going to be times 0:12:30.840 --> 0:12:33.040 in which you can find ways to strike when you 0:12:33.160 --> 0:12:35.560 are able to kind of shift the momentum, and that's 0:12:35.600 --> 0:12:37.440 got to be and I have to imagine it might 0:12:37.480 --> 0:12:40.600 be something similar in this one. They understand they're playing 0:12:40.640 --> 0:12:43.440 a very talented team in the Phillies. They have a 0:12:43.600 --> 0:12:46.200 huge top of the order, similar to the Dodgers that've 0:12:46.240 --> 0:12:48.400 got Lizardo as you mentioned on the mound. So it's 0:12:48.440 --> 0:12:50.319 not going to be easy. But if they can just 0:12:50.440 --> 0:12:53.640 keep grinding through at bats, they recognize that if they're 0:12:53.880 --> 0:12:56.520 playing from behind, they still are in a position to 0:12:56.559 --> 0:12:59.160 win something. They did a lot during the regular series 0:12:59.200 --> 0:13:01.560 of what we're second then National League and come back wins. 0:13:01.840 --> 0:13:04.079 So this is a team that understands what it takes 0:13:04.080 --> 0:13:06.560 to get back on track very quickly. And so the 0:13:06.559 --> 0:13:08.280 hope is, you know, yes, that they can start with 0:13:08.320 --> 0:13:11.160 the lead, that would be ideal, but they know that 0:13:11.200 --> 0:13:13.320 they are never out even if they're playing from behind. 0:13:13.720 --> 0:13:16.200 No doubt, we'll find out what happens tonight for Game two, Kres, 0:13:16.200 --> 0:13:18.360 So we appreciate it still to come here on Marongo 0:13:18.360 --> 0:13:19.360 Casino Dodgers on deck. 0:13:19.360 --> 0:13:20.960 We'll dive deeper to this pitching matchup. 0:13:21.080 --> 0:13:24.080 David batsegoes one on one with Dino Evil Dodgers third 0:13:24.120 --> 0:13:26.320 base coach. But up next we'll hear from the manager, 0:13:26.440 --> 0:13:28.640 Dave Roberts. So he leads up to Game two of 0:13:28.679 --> 0:13:31.959 the Nationally Divisional Series Dodgers and Phillies. First pitch coming 0:13:32.000 --> 0:13:33.599 up at three oh eight. I'm Tim kas Is the 0:13:33.600 --> 0:13:34.520 world champion. 0:13:34.200 --> 0:13:36.400 Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network. 0:13:40.320 --> 0:13:46.400 This is Marongo Casino Dodgers on Deck on your home 0:13:46.480 --> 0:13:47.640 for the Blue. 0:13:47.240 --> 0:13:48.360 All season long. 0:13:50.240 --> 0:13:53.400 Marongo Casino Dodgers on Deck continues as we lead up 0:13:53.400 --> 0:13:56.280 to the first pitch from Philadelphia Dodgers and the Phillies 0:13:56.559 --> 0:14:00.839 Maronggo Casino Resort and Spa A Grand Slam, four good times. 0:14:00.880 --> 0:14:03.400 Game two of the National League Divisional Series. Blake's now 0:14:03.480 --> 0:14:06.400 on the mountain, first pitch coming up at three anything else? 0:14:08.120 --> 0:14:08.800 Questions for Dave? 0:14:08.880 --> 0:14:09.080 Dave? 0:14:09.160 --> 0:14:11.000 Can you just describe Dave? 0:14:11.080 --> 0:14:12.920 Can you talk about the pressure. 0:14:13.320 --> 0:14:16.040 In the dugouts with Dave Roberts? 0:14:16.480 --> 0:14:19.800 Dave, what was the thought process of Ben road Fitz 0:14:19.920 --> 0:14:22.800 starting and having Will come off the bench tonight? 0:14:23.720 --> 0:14:28.960 I think the thought was similar to Game one, given 0:14:29.040 --> 0:14:32.120 Will hasn't had you know, much of a work up 0:14:33.280 --> 0:14:37.240 coming back from the I L so, you know, catching 0:14:37.280 --> 0:14:41.320 the five innings whatever it was to then you know, 0:14:41.440 --> 0:14:45.640 build up tonight to then you know, feel like he's 0:14:45.640 --> 0:14:47.560 in a better spot. We got three at bats under 0:14:47.600 --> 0:14:50.720 our belt, which is also a positive. Came out of 0:14:50.760 --> 0:14:54.240 it feeling good, which is encouraging. And then you know, 0:14:54.360 --> 0:14:57.320 if we continue to trend, then you know, having him 0:14:57.360 --> 0:14:59.880 start game three if if it still looks good. 0:15:01.280 --> 0:15:02.359 Connect question. 0:15:05.080 --> 0:15:09.560 An we go here in the first row, so it 0:15:09.560 --> 0:15:11.680 comes out today. No suppress you guys, Thatt. Your third 0:15:11.720 --> 0:15:14.320 straight year you led the major leagues and days on 0:15:14.360 --> 0:15:18.200 the injured list. I guess you know, what does it 0:15:18.240 --> 0:15:20.120 say about this team that you're able to survive all 0:15:20.120 --> 0:15:22.200 these injuries and get to this point? And now what's 0:15:22.240 --> 0:15:24.120 the feeling when, especially on your staff, some of these 0:15:24.120 --> 0:15:26.320 guys are healthy and you feel like you're probably that's what. 0:15:26.360 --> 0:15:26.920 It lives a bit. 0:15:27.080 --> 0:15:31.160 Yeah, you know, we've had our certainly our fair share 0:15:31.200 --> 0:15:33.960 of injuries. I think a couple of things. I think 0:15:34.040 --> 0:15:37.520 it certainly speaks to the way the front office can 0:15:37.640 --> 0:15:42.240 kind of, you know, add depth and navigate the waiver wire. 0:15:43.520 --> 0:15:45.760 On the development side, we've had some young guys cut 0:15:45.800 --> 0:15:49.360 their teeth that probably weren't ready, but you know, had 0:15:49.400 --> 0:15:53.000 to rise to opportunities and then as far as like 0:15:53.080 --> 0:15:55.840 the guys that were around the core group of guys 0:15:55.880 --> 0:15:59.000 that were healthy, just to remain steadfast and keep going. 0:15:59.160 --> 0:16:03.640 And you know, early on the starting pitching was very 0:16:03.760 --> 0:16:08.880 uh you know, patchworky, and then later on the pen 0:16:09.480 --> 0:16:13.120 and uh. Fortunately the positional player group for the most 0:16:13.120 --> 0:16:16.600 part has been intact, which has been great. But you know, 0:16:16.640 --> 0:16:19.160 guys have stepped up and for us to keep going 0:16:19.320 --> 0:16:21.760 says a lot, you know about the organization. 0:16:22.240 --> 0:16:24.840 All right, there's the manager, Dave Roberts' pregame thoughts as 0:16:24.880 --> 0:16:28.000 we lead up to Game two of the nationally Divisional Series. 0:16:28.040 --> 0:16:30.120 Still to come here, I'm wrongco Casino Dodgers on deck. 0:16:30.120 --> 0:16:33.320 You'll hear from Dino Evil. But up next we'll hear 0:16:33.360 --> 0:16:37.920 from David Basse. Are Dodger Insider with all the latest 0:16:37.920 --> 0:16:40.440 from the bank in Philadelphia to leads up to Dodgers 0:16:40.480 --> 0:16:42.400 in Phillies first pitch of three oh eight. I'm Tim 0:16:42.480 --> 0:16:45.640 Kayson's world champion Los Angeles Dodgers audio nowhere. 0:16:47.760 --> 0:16:49.160 As we were saying. 0:16:49.360 --> 0:16:54.200 Yes, is Morongo Casino Dodgers on tack on the official 0:16:54.280 --> 0:16:56.480 home of La Dodgers Baseball. 0:16:58.240 --> 0:17:02.120 Lean you up to the first pitch from Philadelphia on 0:17:02.120 --> 0:17:04.879 this Monday. It's Game two of the nationally Divisional Series. 0:17:05.000 --> 0:17:08.560 Blake's Noell Hayes, Susilzarno Dodgers Phillies first pitch, coming up 0:17:08.600 --> 0:17:09.040 at three O. 0:17:09.119 --> 0:17:13.600 Eights, joining Tim kats on Dodgers on deck. 0:17:13.680 --> 0:17:15.480 I accept everybody for who they are. 0:17:15.560 --> 0:17:18.640 This is Dodger insider David. 0:17:18.400 --> 0:17:19.919 Bassi, all right, DV. 0:17:20.280 --> 0:17:23.800 Saturday, we saw Roki Susaki come in close it out 0:17:23.800 --> 0:17:24.679 on the ninth inning. 0:17:25.160 --> 0:17:26.080 Game two tonight. 0:17:26.200 --> 0:17:29.840 Moving forward, will we see Roki again in a same situation? 0:17:29.880 --> 0:17:33.959 You think, yes, he is available, and there is no 0:17:34.080 --> 0:17:36.879 doubt in my mind that Dave Roberts is going to 0:17:36.920 --> 0:17:42.000 go to Roki if it is a save situation. Interesting enough, 0:17:42.119 --> 0:17:46.000 Roki still has a long routine to get warmed up, 0:17:46.040 --> 0:17:49.240 and after Game one we heard about how Dave Roberts 0:17:49.320 --> 0:17:53.480 was trying to stall a couple of different ways to 0:17:53.560 --> 0:17:56.639 be able to give Roki the enough amount of time 0:17:56.720 --> 0:17:58.439 to be able to warm up because it was a 0:17:58.520 --> 0:18:01.639 late call to the bullpen to have him ready. 0:18:01.400 --> 0:18:02.240 For the ninth inning. 0:18:02.280 --> 0:18:05.719 We saw a cross up on a pitch between the 0:18:05.760 --> 0:18:08.960 Phillies JT. Real Mudo and the relief pitcher on the 0:18:08.960 --> 0:18:12.399 mound for Philadelphia when Sho he O Tommy was squaring 0:18:12.440 --> 0:18:16.560 around the bunt and got the umpire in the chest 0:18:16.800 --> 0:18:19.920 and that created a delay. The trainer went out there 0:18:19.960 --> 0:18:23.280 and also Otani said he took his time going back 0:18:23.359 --> 0:18:25.600 up to the plate because he was trying to buy 0:18:25.680 --> 0:18:28.560 time for Roki Sasaki. So that's something to keep in 0:18:28.600 --> 0:18:33.600 mind that Dave Roberts has to give Roki ample amount 0:18:33.600 --> 0:18:35.720 of time to warm up to come into the game. 0:18:36.040 --> 0:18:37.840 David is brought to by Ford. It's time to see 0:18:37.880 --> 0:18:40.680 Ford in a new light. Clayton Kershaw didn't see him 0:18:40.680 --> 0:18:43.640 in Game one. He's on the roster, he's in the bullpen. 0:18:44.000 --> 0:18:45.560 How does Kershaw's role play. 0:18:46.800 --> 0:18:49.920 Yeah, it seems like he's the long man in that bullpen, 0:18:50.119 --> 0:18:53.399 and I talked to him today. That's what he's going 0:18:53.440 --> 0:18:56.560 into each and every game. There are no plans for 0:18:56.640 --> 0:18:59.880 him to start in this series. So he's a guy 0:19:00.080 --> 0:19:04.200 that if a starter isn't going well and it's early 0:19:04.240 --> 0:19:06.199 in the game, he could be a bridge to the 0:19:06.200 --> 0:19:09.280 back end of the bullpen. If there's extra innings, he 0:19:09.440 --> 0:19:13.119 definitely would be a guy that is called upon as well. 0:19:13.640 --> 0:19:17.200 An interesting part of kershaw I mean he is eighteen 0:19:17.280 --> 0:19:19.920 years in the league. We all know that it takes 0:19:20.040 --> 0:19:22.640 a while for him also to get warmed up. It's 0:19:22.680 --> 0:19:25.159 been a little bit of an adjustment for him because 0:19:25.160 --> 0:19:28.920 as a reliever, you come out, you throw, you sit down, 0:19:29.080 --> 0:19:31.399 you get cold again, then you have to get hot again. 0:19:32.080 --> 0:19:35.440
