We'll dive deeper into this 0:01:36.800 --> 0:01:37.960 pitching matchup. David vs. 0:01:38.040 --> 0:01:41.160 Sego's one on one with Josh Rowich.

Josh Rowich worked for 0:01:51.600 --> 0:01:55.040 the Diamondbacks and now five years running the Baseball Hall 0:01:55.080 --> 0:01:56.920 of Fame. So that's coming up in forty five minutes. 0:01:56.960 --> 0:01:59.000 Not gonna want to miss that. Kirston Watson will check in. 0:01:59.120 --> 0:02:01.440 We got your Dodgers maum. In just a few minutes, 0:02:01.560 --> 0:02:03.559 we'll hear from Tim neverdey Rick Monday out the galloping 0:02:03.600 --> 0:02:07.360 Ford Broadcast booth. Well, yesterday, Rookie Sisaki got the ball, 0:02:07.680 --> 0:02:10.400 and Rookie was up and down for six innings. Gave 0:02:10.480 --> 0:02:13.200 him three runs on five hits while striking out four 0:02:13.240 --> 0:02:15.760 along the way. He got his pitch count up early 0:02:15.960 --> 0:02:18.680 as he struggled with guys on base, but was able 0:02:18.720 --> 0:02:20.400 to walk that tight rope and get out of it 0:02:20.600 --> 0:02:22.560 in the first and second inning. In the bottom of 0:02:22.600 --> 0:02:25.440 the third, Alec Burlson, though then RBI doubled to right 0:02:25.680 --> 0:02:27.320 and the Cardinals were on the board. 0:02:27.120 --> 0:02:28.000 One to nothing. 0:02:28.440 --> 0:02:32.320 And then it was all about the big fellow, Jordan Walker, 0:02:32.360 --> 0:02:34.760 who is off to a blistering start here in twenty 0:02:34.800 --> 0:02:37.320 twenty six, hitting his tenth Holle run of the season. 0:02:37.360 --> 0:02:39.840 This won a laser to left just over the wall, 0:02:40.080 --> 0:02:42.520 a two run shot, and the Cardinals had a three 0:02:42.520 --> 0:02:46.280 to ninzhing lead. The Dodgers offense quiet again. They're just 0:02:46.480 --> 0:02:49.600 not putting together hits in this series against Saint Louis. 0:02:49.639 --> 0:02:51.000 In fact, he can go back to the final three 0:02:51.040 --> 0:02:53.800 games against the Marlins on the last homestand the Dodgers 0:02:53.840 --> 0:02:56.560 offense has really been really Meanwhile, they got going in 0:02:56.600 --> 0:02:59.120 the ninth inning. Finally they started to put something together 0:02:59.240 --> 0:03:00.560 and it began with Monzi. 0:03:01.320 --> 0:03:06.200 Two balls had to strike to Muncie O'Brien's pitch swung 0:03:06.280 --> 0:03:09.600 on line drive base hit to right fail. Tucker's gonna 0:03:09.600 --> 0:03:12.800 get waived around third. Coming around second, heading to third 0:03:12.880 --> 0:03:16.720 is ta Oscar Hernendez and Max Mounsey gets the Dodgers 0:03:16.760 --> 0:03:19.760 on the board. It's three to one and the tying 0:03:19.840 --> 0:03:20.320 run is. 0:03:20.240 --> 0:03:25.960 At first base. I don't go away yet. Three straight 0:03:26.040 --> 0:03:27.080 hits for the Dodgers. 0:03:27.720 --> 0:03:32.160 Max Munci with the RBIs single scoring Kyle Tucker. Dodgers 0:03:32.200 --> 0:03:35.640 down three to one. Months he delivered, and then it 0:03:35.760 --> 0:03:37.600 was Andy Pajez added. 0:03:37.360 --> 0:03:40.400 On pitch swung on ground ball through the whole left 0:03:40.440 --> 0:03:44.560 side of base hit. Here comes Hernandez into score. Four 0:03:44.720 --> 0:03:48.000 straight hits for the Dodgers and they pulled within a run. 0:03:48.040 --> 0:03:51.440 It's three to two. The tying run now in scoring 0:03:51.520 --> 0:03:53.240 position with Munsey at. 0:03:53.160 --> 0:03:57.480 Second, Andy Pajez delivers a three to two game is 0:03:57.520 --> 0:04:00.960 ta Oscar Herneda scored Monsi at second in base he 0:04:01.080 --> 0:04:03.960 is the tie in run with two outs. However, Dalton 0:04:04.040 --> 0:04:08.400 Rushing would strikeouts swinging to end the rally as the 0:04:08.440 --> 0:04:11.280 Saint Louis Cardinals, for this second game in a row, 0:04:11.480 --> 0:04:15.320 defeat the Dodgers three to two is the final and 0:04:15.520 --> 0:04:18.920 Michael McCreevy out of San Clementi High School, he delivered 0:04:18.960 --> 0:04:22.400 with six shutout innings to pick up the win. Rookie 0:04:22.440 --> 0:04:25.080 Susaki with six as well, he gets the loss. He 0:04:25.160 --> 0:04:28.480 falls to one in three. The Dodgers just two runs 0:04:28.480 --> 0:04:30.360 on eight hits, and those two runs coming in the 0:04:30.440 --> 0:04:32.760 ninth inning, but they get tagged with the losses. They 0:04:32.800 --> 0:04:35.839 fall to twenty and thirteen overall on this season. But 0:04:36.000 --> 0:04:38.760 they're back at it today, riding a four game losing streak, 0:04:38.839 --> 0:04:41.320 hoping to shake that. With Justin Robuski on the mound 0:04:41.480 --> 0:04:43.400 first pitch at eleven to fifteen and with more we 0:04:43.480 --> 0:04:45.680 head out to the Galpin four broadcast as we say 0:04:45.720 --> 0:04:48.560 hello and good morning to Tim Nevert and Rick Monday. 0:04:48.560 --> 0:04:50.320 Guys, Thanks very much. Tim. 0:04:50.440 --> 0:04:53.640 On this Sunday afternoon in Saint Louis, the Dodgers and 0:04:53.680 --> 0:04:56.599 Cardinals wrap up this three game set. Dodgers trying to 0:04:56.640 --> 0:04:59.839 salvage a game in this three game series. The team's 0:04:59.839 --> 0:05:03.520 co men with identical twenty and thirteen records, although that's 0:05:03.560 --> 0:05:06.360 not how they came into the series, but that's how 0:05:06.400 --> 0:05:08.560 it is right now. The Dodgers have lost four in 0:05:08.600 --> 0:05:11.920 a row, a season high. Meantime, the Cardinals have won 0:05:12.160 --> 0:05:15.880 sixth straight. After last night's victory here three to two, 0:05:15.960 --> 0:05:18.480 Dodgers tried to come back in the ninth inning. They 0:05:18.480 --> 0:05:21.479 had four consecutive hits. The bats finally got going bunch 0:05:21.720 --> 0:05:24.080 some hits together, but they could only come up with 0:05:24.120 --> 0:05:26.200 two runs. And they left the tying and go ahead 0:05:26.240 --> 0:05:30.360 runs on base in the ninth inning and left everything 0:05:30.400 --> 0:05:32.279 for today to see if they can find a way 0:05:32.279 --> 0:05:34.719 to get a win. And well, that's what Dave Roberts 0:05:34.760 --> 0:05:37.200 was talking about in the dugout today when he met 0:05:37.240 --> 0:05:39.760 with us prior to the game, is they've got to 0:05:39.800 --> 0:05:41.840 try to find a way to get a win, get 0:05:41.880 --> 0:05:43.560 back in the win column somehow. 0:05:43.760 --> 0:05:47.320 Well, a piece of advice for the offense, don't hit 0:05:47.360 --> 0:05:49.720 into four double plays as they did in last night's 0:05:49.720 --> 0:05:52.240 bowl game. Talk about an abrupt ending to some of 0:05:52.279 --> 0:05:54.960 the innings and opportunities to score. The other part two 0:05:55.080 --> 0:05:58.480 is the Dodgers, partly because of four double plays last night. 0:05:58.600 --> 0:06:01.240 You know runners and scored position just two for twelve 0:06:01.360 --> 0:06:04.599 in the first two games of this series. The approaches 0:06:04.720 --> 0:06:08.440 have not been bad, their results have not been very good. 0:06:08.800 --> 0:06:11.160 If there's Dodger bunk club, they're just trying to string 0:06:11.360 --> 0:06:15.400 some hits together. And we'll find out today because you know, 0:06:15.960 --> 0:06:18.320 Robleski's starting for the Dodgers, he's one of the guys 0:06:18.360 --> 0:06:20.680 he's attacks the strike zone. We're going to find out 0:06:20.720 --> 0:06:24.400 about the former Dodger Dustin May, who was really lit 0:06:24.480 --> 0:06:27.080 up like a lamppost over his first two starts this year. 0:06:27.160 --> 0:06:30.000 Since that time, he's gotten much more on track. We'll 0:06:30.040 --> 0:06:31.680 find out what happens here this afternoon. 0:06:32.080 --> 0:06:34.920 And for a team and the Cardinals that was supposed 0:06:34.960 --> 0:06:39.039 to be in rebuilding mode, apparently nobody gave that memo 0:06:39.120 --> 0:06:41.440 to the players, because the way they're swinging the match, 0:06:41.480 --> 0:06:44.159 the way they're pitching, the way they're defending, they're playing 0:06:44.200 --> 0:06:44.880 like a contender. 0:06:45.000 --> 0:06:48.280 Well, they're swarming on the other team right now. They 0:06:48.320 --> 0:06:51.560 believe themselves. They're hungry. And it's the first time in 0:06:51.600 --> 0:06:54.279 a few years that we've really seen the Saint Louis 0:06:54.279 --> 0:06:56.960 Cardinals be what we have come to known over the years. 0:06:56.960 --> 0:06:59.480 Over the decades, the Saint Louis Cardinals organization, by the 0:06:59.480 --> 0:07:02.599 way that they the game. I'm talking about fundamentals and 0:07:02.720 --> 0:07:05.720 approaches that they've had at home plate so far in 0:07:05.760 --> 0:07:07.719 the first two games of this series. So we're going 0:07:07.800 --> 0:07:09.640 to find out. The other part two is I'm still 0:07:09.680 --> 0:07:13.280 mystified on why the local support has not been better 0:07:13.640 --> 0:07:16.520 than what we have seen. Bigger crowd yesterday, thirty four 0:07:16.560 --> 0:07:19.680 thousand after one of the smaller crowds ever to see 0:07:19.680 --> 0:07:23.080 a Dodger game. Really the smallest is nineteen ninety eight 0:07:23.120 --> 0:07:25.560 in the opening game of the series. It's not because 0:07:25.600 --> 0:07:29.000 of bad bad weather. Well it's been on the cool side, 0:07:29.000 --> 0:07:31.680 but today no reason not to be here. It's absolutely 0:07:31.680 --> 0:07:33.320 gorgeous and a good day to have a victory. 0:07:33.480 --> 0:07:35.360 A perfect day for a ball game today. 0:07:35.720 --> 0:07:37.480 Just looking up with the sky a little while ago, 0:07:37.640 --> 0:07:40.920 one thing's missing clouds. They do not have any in 0:07:41.000 --> 0:07:43.240 the sky above the ballpark here and that could be 0:07:43.280 --> 0:07:44.360 tough for the outfielders. 0:07:44.360 --> 0:07:45.680 That's big sun today. 0:07:45.560 --> 0:07:49.440 It is, and it's this alignment of the stadium very 0:07:49.480 --> 0:07:52.680 similar to what was beyond Leffield where the old ballpark 0:07:52.720 --> 0:07:54.720 Bush Stadium was. Yeah, it can be a little problem, 0:07:54.840 --> 0:07:57.200 especially up the middle. The other part two is they're 0:07:57.240 --> 0:07:59.760 expecting gusts up to twenty five to thirty miles an 0:07:59.760 --> 0:08:02.240 hour here this afternoon. Now, how much effect is going 0:08:02.280 --> 0:08:04.760 to have? It appears to be blowing out towards left 0:08:04.760 --> 0:08:08.080 center field, But what's the overall effect of the stands 0:08:08.560 --> 0:08:10.680 kind of blocking some of that wind? How does it 0:08:10.720 --> 0:08:13.080 affect the flight of the ball down on the field. 0:08:13.760 --> 0:08:17.760 Dodgers and Cardinals at Bush Stadium on a sunny Sunday afternoon, 0:08:17.880 --> 0:08:20.800 Dustin May three and two against Justin Robleski, the left 0:08:20.800 --> 0:08:23.040 hander is for and oh Tim. 0:08:23.080 --> 0:08:24.960 All right, thank you guys, as we count you down 0:08:25.000 --> 0:08:26.520 to first bitch on this Sunday. 0:08:26.560 --> 0:08:27.720 What are you thinking about for lunch? 0:08:27.760 --> 0:08:30.240 Dodger fans, Let me help you out a little Shaky's 0:08:30.240 --> 0:08:31.040 Pizza Parlor. 0:08:31.200 --> 0:08:33.240 Get your game day meal on order. 0:08:33.120 --> 0:08:37.440 Your Shaky's Pizza Chicken em Mojo's at shakys dot com. 0:08:37.480 --> 0:08:39.320 We're off and running here on WRONGO because you know 0:08:39.360 --> 0:08:41.000 Dodgers on deck coming up.

We lead you up to first pitch at 0:10:04.960 --> 0:10:05.680 eleven fifteen. 0:10:06.400 --> 0:10:10.240 This is Kirston's corner with Kirston Wasson. 0:10:10.640 --> 0:10:13.200 Hey, Kirston now joins us on this Sunday morning, brought 0:10:13.200 --> 0:10:14.839 to you by Cars for Kids, the easiest way to 0:10:14.840 --> 0:10:16.600 get rid of your old car. Donate today your car 0:10:16.640 --> 0:10:18.800 could be picked up tomorrow. That easy donating now with 0:10:18.880 --> 0:10:20.080 carsfrokids dot org. 0:10:20.440 --> 0:10:21.559 That's Cars with a K. 0:10:21.840 --> 0:10:24.640 If only scoring runs were as easy as donating your 0:10:24.679 --> 0:10:27.199 car to Cars for Kids, he goes, Really, the last 0:10:27.200 --> 0:10:30.160 four games and beyond, this offense has not been anywhere 0:10:30.160 --> 0:10:30.640 to be seen. 0:10:31.320 --> 0:10:34.120 Well played, Tim, No, look, obviously, when you see just 0:10:34.800 --> 0:10:36.760 what this offense has been doing here now on a 0:10:36.760 --> 0:10:39.040 four game losing streak. In these four games, it's only 0:10:39.040 --> 0:10:43.080 scored two runs or less. So the offense, it's fair 0:10:43.120 --> 0:10:46.400 to say it really has not been existing at the moment. 0:10:46.559 --> 0:10:49.199 But it's a new day. There's always a way to 0:10:49.240 --> 0:10:49.920 turn the page. 0:10:50.440 --> 0:10:50.680 You know what. 0:10:50.800 --> 0:10:52.800 Even when you look at what happened late in last 0:10:52.880 --> 0:10:54.760 night's game, Yes, they were shut out early, there are 0:10:54.760 --> 0:10:57.800 a lot of double plays, but with how they handled 0:10:57.880 --> 0:11:00.360 the ninth inning, how they did create a rat how 0:11:00.360 --> 0:11:02.599 they scored two runs, you were starting to kind of 0:11:02.640 --> 0:11:05.400 see that passing out the baton. The hope is is 0:11:05.440 --> 0:11:08.720 that they can just carry that into today. Obviously, with 0:11:08.760 --> 0:11:11.199 facing it off against Tustin May, there is some familiarity, 0:11:11.480 --> 0:11:13.880 but it's going to be key for the offense to 0:11:13.920 --> 0:11:16.680 get going early because especially when you're struggling. Dave Roberts 0:11:16.679 --> 0:11:19.200 did say, if you can get a lead early in 0:11:19.240 --> 0:11:21.720 the game, that does just make it a little bit easier, 0:11:21.760 --> 0:11:23.800 so it's not so much pressure that's mounting by the 0:11:23.920 --> 0:11:24.520 end of the game. 0:11:24.920 --> 0:11:27.800 You mentioned his name, Dustin May, code Red. I haven't 0:11:27.800 --> 0:11:29.760 seen him in a minute, but here he is facing 0:11:29.800 --> 0:11:30.520 his former team. 0:11:30.840 --> 0:11:31.440 He sure is. 0:11:31.480 --> 0:11:32.720 And you know what, when you look at with Dustin 0:11:32.760 --> 0:11:34.439 May's been able to do this year as of late, 0:11:34.480 --> 0:11:35.760 he's been pitching much better. 0:11:35.760 --> 0:11:37.280 The velocity is starting to uptick. 0:11:37.320 --> 0:11:39.200 But I was talking to a few of the guys 0:11:39.240 --> 0:11:43.080 because obviously you think, like, okay, Like again, early in 0:11:43.120 --> 0:11:47.320 the season, the offense was excellent against high Velow, but 0:11:47.679 --> 0:11:49.720 right now things are kind of a little bit. Obviously 0:11:49.760 --> 0:11:51.960 in general, they've been a little bit off offensively. But 0:11:52.000 --> 0:11:53.400 I was asking, you know, like do you look at 0:11:53.440 --> 0:11:56.079 this as a benefit facing off against a former teammate, 0:11:56.120 --> 0:11:59.000 and they said, you know, yes, there is familiarity, but 0:11:59.160 --> 0:12:01.400 when it comes to us may no one wants to 0:12:01.400 --> 0:12:03.520 be traded during the season with a team that's just 0:12:03.559 --> 0:12:05.520 coming off of winning the World Series. I've seen it. 0:12:05.600 --> 0:12:07.480 We know what happened. Let them going back to back. 0:12:07.800 --> 0:12:09.640 So they do believe that he's going to be pitching 0:12:09.720 --> 0:12:12.040 with a chip on his shoulder. They do believe that 0:12:12.040 --> 0:12:13.760 that means like there's going to be a probably a 0:12:13.920 --> 0:12:17.400 check in velocity. But Dave Roberts was saying that that 0:12:17.520 --> 0:12:19.960 also means that when you're trying to sometimes do too much, 0:12:20.080 --> 0:12:23.600 there could be some space for errors, and the hope 0:12:23.640 --> 0:12:26.960 is that the offense can just take advantage of those mistakes. 0:12:27.000 --> 0:12:30.280 So they do expect Dustin to come out here wanting 0:12:30.320 --> 0:12:33.160 to prove himself and kind of what the Dodgers lost 0:12:33.200 --> 0:12:36.120 from him. He is an ultimate competitor. Who said it 0:12:36.160 --> 0:12:39.000 code read, we've seen it ourselves. So the hope is 0:12:39.040 --> 0:12:41.000 they can just find ways to get to him early 0:12:41.120 --> 0:12:43.400 and they know what they're going to get. But it's 0:12:43.480 --> 0:12:45.320 having a good plan and a good plan of attack 0:12:45.440 --> 0:12:46.800 to take advantage of it. 0:12:47.040 --> 0:12:49.000 One of the benefits of having Clayton Kershaw for so 0:12:49.040 --> 0:12:51.400 many years is he was that stopper in the instance 0:12:51.440 --> 0:12:53.679 that if they had a losing streak, he would stop 0:12:53.720 --> 0:12:55.200 it because you would go out there and pitch so 0:12:55.280 --> 0:12:57.719 well the offense would somehow get going and they get 0:12:57.720 --> 0:12:58.760 back on the winning track. 0:12:58.800 --> 0:13:01.679 And for Justin Robleski, he's pitched really well this year. 0:13:01.800 --> 0:13:03.640 Kind of flows out there like the right guy, right place, 0:13:03.760 --> 0:13:05.680 right day for him, you know what it does. 0:13:05.800 --> 0:13:07.320 But even when you look at just kind of this 0:13:07.400 --> 0:13:10.200 losing streak, I don't think it's fair to say it 0:13:10.400 --> 0:13:12.600 was the pitching staff, you know, like the pitching really 0:13:12.640 --> 0:13:16.040 has been great as of late last night, Rokie Susaki 0:13:16.120 --> 0:13:18.640 had that one inning where he struggled, but ultimately, you know, 0:13:18.760 --> 0:13:21.600 had a really solid outing. But you're right that with 0:13:22.120 --> 0:13:26.679 Justin Robleski, he has truly proven just how valuable he is. 0:13:26.720 --> 0:13:28.840 Whether it's to the rotation, whether it's to the bullpen, 0:13:28.880 --> 0:13:30.760 And obviously we know what he did in the postseason 0:13:30.840 --> 0:13:34.600 last year having a shutout performance and relief. But this year, 0:13:34.600 --> 0:13:36.280 I mean he's had a one five year o ra. 0:13:36.840 --> 0:13:39.160 The stuff has looked excellent. Even with talking to him, 0:13:39.160 --> 0:13:41.000 it's kind of funny because he's like, I don't really 0:13:41.040 --> 0:13:43.120 think I'm there just yet, Like, yeah, you know, I'm 0:13:43.120 --> 0:13:45.000 getting good results, but I feel like I'm still waiting 0:13:45.040 --> 0:13:48.000 for a little bit more velow to kick in with 0:13:48.080 --> 0:13:50.120 his lighter he wants to execute it a little bit sharper, 0:13:50.800 --> 0:13:53.439 and obviously the results are saying that everything is in 0:13:53.559 --> 0:13:55.599 a very good spot. So he is very much the 0:13:55.679 --> 0:13:59.160 right guy to take the ball today because he's been 0:13:59.360 --> 0:14:01.599 obviously out of like Shoho Toni, who is probably the 0:14:01.600 --> 0:14:04.199 Bessie Hurray on her rotation right now. But he has 0:14:04.320 --> 0:14:06.880 truly been one of those guys who goes out there, 0:14:06.960 --> 0:14:09.800 he competes, he's aggressive, and so yeah, the hope is 0:14:09.840 --> 0:14:11.840 that not only he can set the tone, but he 0:14:11.880 --> 0:14:14.600 can have that run sup support early so that it's 0:14:14.640 --> 0:14:16.959 not all the pressure on the pitching. 0:14:16.640 --> 0:14:18.640 Today, No doubt, Let's get a win today. 0:14:18.720 --> 0:14:20.600 Dodgers can then head to Houston for a three game 0:14:20.600 --> 0:14:23.160 step beginning tomorrow. Karriston, we appreciate it still to come 0:14:23.160 --> 0:14:24.880 here on Marongo because you know, Dodgers on deck. 0:14:25.000 --> 0:14:26.560 We'll dive deeper into this pitching matchup. 0:14:26.600 --> 0:14:29.800 David vessagoes one on one with Josh Rawitch, former Dodger 0:14:29.960 --> 0:14:33.640 PR Maybn, now president of the Baseball Hall of Fame 0:14:33.680 --> 0:14:35.880 in Cooperstown, New York. He'll hear for him coming up 0:14:36.120 --> 0:14:37.880 in just a little bit. But up next we'll get 0:14:37.880 --> 0:14:39.840 you an injury report and we'll hear from the manager. 0:14:39.960 --> 0:14:43.320 Dave Roberts Dodgers Cardinals. First pitch at eleven fifteen. I'm 0:14:43.360 --> 0:14:45.680 Tim Kase's the back to back World Series champion Dodgers 0:14:46.080 --> 0:14:46.840 Audio Network. 0:14:49.680 --> 0:14:53.000 This is Marongo Casino, Dodgers on deck. 0:14:55.160 --> 0:14:57.840 On your hope for the blue all season. 0:14:57.560 --> 0:15:01.200 Loss Marongo because you know Dodge deck continues on this 0:15:01.240 --> 0:15:03.840 Sundays that leads up to Dodgers and Cardinals from Morongo 0:15:03.840 --> 0:15:06.200 because you know resorted in Spy Grand Slam for good times. 0:15:06.200 --> 0:15:08.120 First pitch coming up at eleven fifteen. 0:15:08.800 --> 0:15:13.720 This is the LA Dodgers Injury Report. 0:15:13.400 --> 0:15:15.920 Presented by UCLA Healthy, official medical partner of the Los 0:15:15.960 --> 0:15:19.080 Angeles Dodgers. Edwin Diaz on the iel with the yellobow surgery, 0:15:19.160 --> 0:15:21.160 Mookie Bets on the IL with the right oblique strain, 0:15:21.280 --> 0:15:24.200 Tommy Edmund working his way back from off season ankle surgery. 0:15:24.240 --> 0:15:27.000 Blake Snells with the team, throwing bullpen sessions, two minor 0:15:27.040 --> 0:15:29.920 league rehab starts in Ontario, Brock Stewart in Triple A 0:15:29.960 --> 0:15:32.480 Oklahoma City. He seems like he's the closest ready to go. 0:15:32.680 --> 0:15:35.000 Bruce dar Gratterol pitched last night in Okay See, his 0:15:35.040 --> 0:15:36.920 first time on the Mounta since Game five of the 0:15:36.960 --> 0:15:39.440 twenty twenty four World Series, so he is training in 0:15:39.480 --> 0:15:40.680 the right direction as well. 0:15:40.760 --> 0:15:42.360 Let's head back out to Saint Lewis and check out 0:15:42.360 --> 0:15:43.160 with the Dodgers skipper. 0:15:43.720 --> 0:15:47.560 Anything else Dave Questions for Dave, Dave, can you just 0:15:47.720 --> 0:15:50.640 describe Dave? Can you talk about the pressure. 0:15:51.040 --> 0:15:53.520 In the dugouts with Dave Roberts. 0:15:55.080 --> 0:15:58.480 That's my expectation. I don't know how many we've lost 0:15:58.520 --> 0:16:01.040 in a row and the offense has and you know, 0:16:01.080 --> 0:16:03.840 we haven't performed. So this is one of those things 0:16:03.880 --> 0:16:07.560 where it's a gut check in the sense of you 0:16:07.560 --> 0:16:09.080 don't want to get swept. Do we have a chance 0:16:09.120 --> 0:16:12.960 to salvage a series? And you know this is it's 0:16:12.960 --> 0:16:14.800 certainly not a must win, but this is a game 0:16:14.840 --> 0:16:16.840 that we need to find a way to win. And 0:16:17.000 --> 0:16:20.400 collectively we need to pitch well, we need to hit, 0:16:20.480 --> 0:16:23.960 play defense, run the bases, all of that. So yeah, 0:16:24.000 --> 0:16:25.520 we got we got to turn this thing around. 0:16:25.920 --> 0:16:28.800 Me facing Destin May obviously there's some familiarity there, but 0:16:29.120 --> 0:16:30.680 even with talking to a few of the guys, I 0:16:30.800 --> 0:16:33.080 do expect Destin to be pitching with a chip on 0:16:33.120 --> 0:16:35.360 his shoulder. What do you want to see just when 0:16:35.360 --> 0:16:38.200 it comes to the Bats plan of attack, going up 0:16:38.240 --> 0:16:39.080 against a guy like. 0:16:39.080 --> 0:16:43.400 Destin, he's going to be He's going to be, uh, 0:16:43.560 --> 0:16:46.040 you know, out to prove a point. And obviously you're 0:16:46.080 --> 0:16:50.440 facing your your former team. I think with that there's 0:16:50.480 --> 0:16:54.560 going to be extra motivation, adrenaline, but that there's going 0:16:54.640 --> 0:16:58.360 to be mistakes. That's just what's going to happen, and 0:16:58.360 --> 0:17:00.600 we just got to be ready for the mistakes. And 0:17:00.680 --> 0:17:02.600 I say that because I think there's gonna be a 0:17:02.600 --> 0:17:05.600 lot of extra effort into his start. I know Dustin, 0:17:05.680 --> 0:17:07.439 I know he's an emotional guy and he's gonna really 0:17:07.480 --> 0:17:07.920 want to pitch. 0:17:07.920 --> 0:17:11.000 Well, so all right, there's a manager, Dave Roberts talking 0:17:11.040 --> 0:17:12.920 about Dustin May getting the start and the Dodgers need 0:17:12.960 --> 0:17:15.640 to snap this four game losing streak. Go we continue 0:17:15.680 --> 0:17:17.440 here on Dodgers on dep We'll check in with the 0:17:18.080 --> 0:17:20.040 David Veasey gets to the latest as we lead you 0:17:20.080 --> 0:17:22.200 up to Dodgers and Cardinals on this Sunday.
