Today, 0:01:05.480 --> 0:01:08.639 the Dodgers look to avoid getting swept in the final 0:01:08.720 --> 0:01:10.440 series before the All Star Break. 0:01:10.640 --> 0:01:12.480 Emmittshan on the mound. 0:01:12.280 --> 0:01:14.839 First pitch from uniclove Field, that Dodger Stadium was coming 0:01:14.880 --> 0:01:17.360 up at one ten between then and that we got 0:01:17.400 --> 0:01:19.880 a lot to get to here on Marago Casino Dodgers 0:01:19.880 --> 0:01:21.640 on deck, We're gonna check in with the Dodger manager 0:01:21.720 --> 0:01:24.679 Dave Roberts. Get his thoughts on this Dodgers team, what 0:01:24.800 --> 0:01:28.039 is happening this series as they been outscored eighteen to 0:01:28.160 --> 0:01:31.279 five by the Snakes. Also his thoughts on the MLB 0:01:31.400 --> 0:01:33.640 All Star Game, which he'll be managing the National League 0:01:33.680 --> 0:01:36.480 come up on Tuesday in Philadelphia. That's coming up in 0:01:36.480 --> 0:01:39.440 twenty minutes. We'll preview this pitching matchup. David Vess joins us. 0:01:39.480 --> 0:01:41.360 Of course, throughout the hour, he'll be live on the 0:01:41.360 --> 0:01:43.720 field as he works for Sports net LA. He'll also 0:01:43.760 --> 0:01:47.480 go one on one with Dodger All Star Justin Robleski. 0:01:47.600 --> 0:01:49.120 Yeah, that's coming up in just a little bit. 0:01:49.240 --> 0:01:52.000 We'll hear from Dino Eble, Dodger third base coach and 0:01:52.040 --> 0:01:54.920 proud father of not one but two sons who have 0:01:55.000 --> 0:01:56.960 been drafted him back to back years in the first 0:01:57.040 --> 0:01:59.840 round by the Milwaukee Brewers. We got your Otani on 0:02:00.200 --> 0:02:02.000 In just a few minutes, we will check in with 0:02:02.040 --> 0:02:06.160 Tim Nevert and Rick Monday at the Galloping Ford Broadcast booth. Well, 0:02:06.280 --> 0:02:10.040 last night was supposed to be the stopper Yoshinobu Yamamoto 0:02:10.160 --> 0:02:13.320 to stop the Dodger skid. Yamamoto would get into a 0:02:13.360 --> 0:02:16.160 pitcher's duel with Brandon Fott. Both would go toe to 0:02:16.160 --> 0:02:19.160 toe for the first five innings. One run giving up 0:02:19.160 --> 0:02:21.560 by Yamamoto in the fourth on the Tim Tawa RBI 0:02:21.680 --> 0:02:22.080 ground out. 0:02:22.160 --> 0:02:22.919 That was it. 0:02:22.919 --> 0:02:25.639 It was a Diamondbacks one nothing lead until the sixth 0:02:25.680 --> 0:02:29.680 inning win. A leadoff walk unraveled for Yamamoto, who had 0:02:29.680 --> 0:02:33.119 a thirty one pitch inning Max Kepler. A sack fly 0:02:33.240 --> 0:02:35.640 made it two to nothing. Tim Tawa, who has become 0:02:35.680 --> 0:02:39.680 a Dodger killer RBI double Diamondbacks led three to nothing 0:02:39.720 --> 0:02:41.080 and they still weren't done. 0:02:41.160 --> 0:02:43.400 Two on for James McCann. 0:02:44.000 --> 0:02:47.320 Barrovsa on deck and there's a fly ball to left 0:02:47.360 --> 0:02:51.160 field and deep going back is tay Oscar Hernandez and 0:02:51.240 --> 0:02:57.000 it is gone a three run home run. Yamamoto has 0:02:57.000 --> 0:03:01.240 a look like what hit me? It's a five run 0:03:01.400 --> 0:03:03.200 sixth for the Diamondbacks. 0:03:03.200 --> 0:03:08.600 They lead six to nothing, James McCann three run home run. 0:03:08.680 --> 0:03:12.320 It was a five run six for the Diamondbacks against 0:03:12.360 --> 0:03:16.080 Yoshinobu Yamamoto. Dodgers in a big hole, down six to 0:03:16.160 --> 0:03:18.600 nothing bottom of the sixth, they would chip away a 0:03:18.680 --> 0:03:21.480 little bit against Brandon Fought. Andy Pohe has got it 0:03:21.520 --> 0:03:24.880 going with an RBI single, his sixty six run batted 0:03:24.919 --> 0:03:27.640 in of the season. Dodgers on the board, down six 0:03:27.680 --> 0:03:29.720 to one. Two batters later, Muki. 0:03:30.120 --> 0:03:33.280 One ball once stright, swinging the ground ball in the 0:03:33.400 --> 0:03:36.720 left field for a base hit rounding third on his 0:03:36.840 --> 0:03:40.320 way home. As pohead second run of the inning. 0:03:40.680 --> 0:03:45.840 It's now six to two. As Bets deliveries for Mookie. 0:03:45.840 --> 0:03:48.680 Bets is thirty first STARBI of the year. 0:03:49.080 --> 0:03:51.760 Mookie with the RBI single, that's the top tier playing 0:03:51.760 --> 0:03:53.560 the game, brought to you by ARCO quality, top tier 0:03:53.560 --> 0:03:55.960 gas for least. Unfortunately, that's all the Dodgers would get 0:03:56.080 --> 0:03:58.040 in the inning, down six to two, and it just 0:03:58.080 --> 0:04:02.160 got worse after that. Landing his first outing of the 0:04:02.280 --> 0:04:05.360 year back off the injured list, goes three. Indians gets 0:04:05.440 --> 0:04:06.880 up a run in the seventh and then two more 0:04:06.920 --> 0:04:08.960 in the eighth on back to back home runs from 0:04:09.000 --> 0:04:13.560 Nolan Aeronado and James McCann as the Rockies, or they 0:04:13.560 --> 0:04:16.520 think that as the Diamondbacks had a ninety two league 0:04:16.560 --> 0:04:19.280 feel like the Rockies who were just in town. Diamondbacks 0:04:19.440 --> 0:04:22.000 win the game by a final of ninety two. Branded 0:04:22.080 --> 0:04:26.000 fought since being recalled from Triple A. Reno pitched well, 0:04:26.120 --> 0:04:28.520 he gets to win. He's now three to one. Yoshanobo 0:04:28.600 --> 0:04:31.520 Yamamodo gets tagged with the loss. He falls to nine 0:04:31.560 --> 0:04:34.960 and six. Dodgers have now lost three of their last four. 0:04:35.440 --> 0:04:37.840 Not to mention, they also had another air last night. 0:04:37.880 --> 0:04:40.720 They've got seven airs now in the last four games. 0:04:40.960 --> 0:04:43.560 Dodgers need to get back on track and in a hurry. 0:04:43.920 --> 0:04:46.599 Emmitt Sheen on the mount in the series finale today, 0:04:46.640 --> 0:04:49.440 final game before the All Star Break. First pitch coming 0:04:49.520 --> 0:04:51.600 up in one ten and with more. Let's head out 0:04:51.600 --> 0:04:53.920 to the galvin Ford broadcast with us on the Sunday 0:04:53.960 --> 0:04:56.440 afternoon and say hello to Tim Neverert and Rick Monday. 0:04:56.480 --> 0:04:59.240 Guys, Tam, thank you very much getting except for the 0:04:59.240 --> 0:05:02.719 final game before the All Star Break. In the final 0:05:02.720 --> 0:05:06.400 game of this three game series, the Dodgers and the Diamondbacks, 0:05:06.400 --> 0:05:09.440 Dodgers come in with Major League baseball's best record at 0:05:09.480 --> 0:05:11.680 sixty one and thirty five, they're twelve and a half 0:05:11.760 --> 0:05:15.080 up on the Diamondbacks in the National League West. Meantime, 0:05:15.120 --> 0:05:17.600 the Diamondbacks just a game above five hundred, forty eight 0:05:17.640 --> 0:05:20.280 and forty seven twelve and a half back, but three 0:05:20.360 --> 0:05:22.720 and a half back now in the Wild Card. They 0:05:22.760 --> 0:05:25.920 have picked up two games in the last two days 0:05:25.920 --> 0:05:29.920 as they have outscored the Dodgers eighteen to five over 0:05:29.960 --> 0:05:33.039 the last two ballgames. In the meantime, the Dodgers have 0:05:33.240 --> 0:05:37.520 not been swept in a series this season, and trying 0:05:37.560 --> 0:05:39.520 to salvage a game in this three game set get 0:05:39.520 --> 0:05:42.719 a win before some head to Philadelphia for the All 0:05:42.720 --> 0:05:46.039 Star festivities and the others scatter for a few days 0:05:46.040 --> 0:05:50.360 of rest. The starting pitchers this afternoon, Emmt Sheean, right hander, 0:05:50.400 --> 0:05:52.320 will go for the Dodgers. He's four and six in 0:05:52.360 --> 0:05:55.599 a four to ninety one ERA. Mitch Bratt will get 0:05:55.640 --> 0:05:59.320 the start, no decisions and an ERA of three. This 0:05:59.400 --> 0:06:02.839 will be his major league start. He is replacing Zach 0:06:02.960 --> 0:06:07.040 Gallon today. Gallen's had some inflammation in his right elbow, 0:06:07.080 --> 0:06:09.159 and it's likely that Gallon will end up on the 0:06:09.200 --> 0:06:12.920 injured list before the day is over. In the meantime, 0:06:13.000 --> 0:06:15.840 always we look at this final game before the All 0:06:15.839 --> 0:06:18.280 Star break. Dave Roberts said last night after the game, 0:06:18.520 --> 0:06:20.240 got to find a way to get a win today 0:06:20.520 --> 0:06:23.479 heading into the break, feel good about yourselves as you 0:06:23.520 --> 0:06:24.840 get those extra days off. 0:06:24.920 --> 0:06:27.880 Yeah, And the bottom line is that means, quite frankly, 0:06:28.200 --> 0:06:30.280 you have to play better baseball than what they have played, 0:06:30.320 --> 0:06:32.640 in particular the last two games. I made three airs 0:06:32.960 --> 0:06:35.280 in that first game of this series against Arizona, and 0:06:35.320 --> 0:06:37.880 not only three physical errors, but didn't back up bases, 0:06:37.920 --> 0:06:41.120 the wrong cutoff man that didn't get runners over and 0:06:41.360 --> 0:06:44.400 situations like that. Last night made another air that was 0:06:44.440 --> 0:06:47.640 costly and then did not really deliver with runners in 0:06:47.680 --> 0:06:50.760 scoring position. In fact, in this series the Dodgers just 0:06:50.800 --> 0:06:53.719 two for eleven runners in scoring position. And for the 0:06:53.760 --> 0:06:56.640 last eighteen games they've hit very well as a team, 0:06:56.720 --> 0:06:59.000 but there has been a big letdown. If you look 0:06:59.000 --> 0:07:01.360 at the last two games, and they can play much 0:07:01.400 --> 0:07:02.840 better baseball than what we've seen. 0:07:03.040 --> 0:07:05.159 Well, you look at the lack of production with runners 0:07:05.200 --> 0:07:08.480 in scoring position, look at the errors. They have allowed 0:07:09.240 --> 0:07:11.640 nine or more runs and back to back games. They 0:07:11.640 --> 0:07:16.000 haven't done that since twenty twenty four in July when 0:07:16.000 --> 0:07:18.920 they lost back to back games to Milwaukee and Philadelphia 0:07:19.000 --> 0:07:22.600 nine to two and ten to one. How do they 0:07:22.680 --> 0:07:24.160 turn that around here the next nine. 0:07:24.200 --> 0:07:26.000 Well, I think to Tim is that this is the 0:07:26.000 --> 0:07:29.440 ball club they've had expectations of the longest home stand 0:07:29.480 --> 0:07:31.640 of the season to come out better than coming into 0:07:31.640 --> 0:07:34.200 the final game, whether five and four, just one game 0:07:34.680 --> 0:07:37.800 above the five hundred mark. That's got to improve. And 0:07:37.880 --> 0:07:40.120 I know the feeling is, oh, the Dodgers lost the game. 0:07:40.200 --> 0:07:43.160 How on earth did that happen? And especially if you 0:07:43.200 --> 0:07:45.160 look at the last two games, well, we've seen how 0:07:45.160 --> 0:07:46.880 it happened. They had not played well. 0:07:47.240 --> 0:07:50.520 Ely Israel Fonso will get the start behind the plate today, 0:07:50.560 --> 0:07:53.640 catching Emitt she and Otani of course at the top 0:07:53.680 --> 0:07:56.640 of the order. And Otani is expected to have his 0:07:56.800 --> 0:08:00.360 left knee drained after the game today before he gets 0:08:00.400 --> 0:08:02.520 some rest, and then we'll get ready to start the 0:08:02.520 --> 0:08:03.400 second half of the season. 0:08:03.440 --> 0:08:05.360 You know, and for guys that have the build up 0:08:05.360 --> 0:08:07.880 of fluid that can really relieve a lot of discomfort, 0:08:07.960 --> 0:08:09.800 and hopefully that's going to be the kid the case, 0:08:10.280 --> 0:08:11.680 he's not going to be on a plane and go 0:08:11.720 --> 0:08:13.840 to Philadelphia. They don't want him at outitude for a 0:08:13.920 --> 0:08:15.840 number of days until the team has to fly to 0:08:15.880 --> 0:08:18.440 New York open up the second half of the season. 0:08:18.440 --> 0:08:20.880 That'll be against the Yankees, then under Philadelphia, and they're 0:08:20.880 --> 0:08:22.760 back to New York to face the Mets. 0:08:22.760 --> 0:08:23.920 So there's some traveling also. 0:08:24.320 --> 0:08:27.560 But getting that knee where it's healthy and it's not 0:08:27.600 --> 0:08:29.200 going to be an issue is really at the top 0:08:29.200 --> 0:08:29.600 of the list. 0:08:29.640 --> 0:08:30.800 Obviously, he still. 0:08:30.560 --> 0:08:32.920 Has three home runs over his last five games with 0:08:33.040 --> 0:08:35.880 a bad knee or not. So Otani will lead off 0:08:35.920 --> 0:08:38.839 again today for the Dodgers. Dodgers and Diamondbacks. Emmett Chean 0:08:38.920 --> 0:08:42.360 against Mitch Bratt. That's the pitching matchup.

I 0:16:46.520 --> 0:16:50.400 think the city of Philly will enjoy watching support him. 0:16:50.880 --> 0:16:54.520 And uh, you know, I had a conversation with him 0:16:54.560 --> 0:16:58.880 this morning, with Donnie and the pitching staff and Christopher. 0:16:59.120 --> 0:17:03.960 So he is very grateful. And you know, in a 0:17:04.040 --> 0:17:09.920 time where guys are not wanting to participate and this 0:17:10.000 --> 0:17:13.239 guy in the Midsummer Classic for the fans, I think that, 0:17:13.960 --> 0:17:16.560 you know, this is a good thing. That he's very 0:17:16.640 --> 0:17:17.600 excited about pitching. 0:17:18.280 --> 0:17:21.280 Is that refreshing to have that type of gratitude considering 0:17:21.320 --> 0:17:25.000 everything that's gone on in the last week. 0:17:25.400 --> 0:17:27.800 It is? It is, you know, and there's there's certain 0:17:27.840 --> 0:17:33.960 circumstances where you know, guys can't play, they are injured. 0:17:34.920 --> 0:17:37.760 But this is an honor, and you know, it's not 0:17:37.800 --> 0:17:40.200 only just an honor to be named it, but also 0:17:40.359 --> 0:17:42.920 to be able to participate, you know, and want to participate. 0:17:43.040 --> 0:17:47.000 So Christopher wants to and I'm excited about naming him 0:17:47.040 --> 0:17:48.880 the starter in the All Star Game. 0:17:49.400 --> 0:17:52.919 DS and after outing yesterday in Ontario that he feels 0:17:52.960 --> 0:17:54.960 like you only needs two or three more of those, 0:17:55.560 --> 0:17:58.440 does that put him in play for upcoming road. 0:17:58.240 --> 0:18:01.240 Trip after the All Star break or is that still 0:18:01.400 --> 0:18:02.600 a little bit further away. 0:18:03.800 --> 0:18:08.200 You know, we'll see. I think that I think that 0:18:08.680 --> 0:18:12.200 the arm feels good, but there's also a command of 0:18:12.320 --> 0:18:17.800 getting major league hitters out situation. You know, I'm going 0:18:17.880 --> 0:18:19.880 to be make up. We're going to make sure that 0:18:19.960 --> 0:18:21.840 he's ready to go before we put him at the 0:18:21.840 --> 0:18:24.159 back end of a major league game. You know, I 0:18:24.160 --> 0:18:27.359 think that's fair too, not only him, but also you 0:18:27.400 --> 0:18:28.200 know our ball club. 0:18:28.720 --> 0:18:31.400
