One hundred 0:01:37.080 --> 0:01:40.399 and twelve minutes, the shortest nine inning game for the 0:01:40.440 --> 0:01:43.520 Dodgers since nineteen ninety two, the shortest nine inning game 0:01:43.720 --> 0:01:48.600 at Dodger Stadium since nineteen eighty two, and the Dodgers 0:01:48.600 --> 0:01:52.400 will take it, especially with a quick turnaround on Wednesday Tomorrow, 0:01:52.600 --> 0:01:56.360 a nooner out at Dodgers Stadium was show Hey Otani 0:01:56.880 --> 0:01:59.440 scheduled to take the mount and will not serve as 0:01:59.440 --> 0:02:01.600 a dozen en hit or we know that Dave Roberts 0:02:01.640 --> 0:02:03.640 telling David Vassa just a few minutes ago, and we'll 0:02:03.640 --> 0:02:06.000 hear from the Dodger skipper coming up here very shortly. 0:02:06.040 --> 0:02:08.280 We'll all chill check in with Jose Mota, get his 0:02:08.360 --> 0:02:11.000 thoughts on this Dodger win tonight, and a lot to 0:02:11.080 --> 0:02:14.320 dissect and really look at what happened with this Dodger 0:02:14.480 --> 0:02:18.919 game tonight Justin Robleski first off, six shutout innings, scattered 0:02:18.919 --> 0:02:22.480 three hits, struck out five along the way, zero walks, 0:02:22.840 --> 0:02:27.840 attacking the strike zone, efficient, getting ahead in the count, 0:02:27.880 --> 0:02:30.400 oh one, getting in ahead in the count, and not 0:02:30.520 --> 0:02:33.400 falling behind three to zero, three to one. There wasn't 0:02:33.400 --> 0:02:36.760 a lot of deep at bats in this outing from 0:02:36.880 --> 0:02:40.400 Justin Robleski. Through twelve pitches in the first inning, had 0:02:40.680 --> 0:02:44.520 had a one out air at third by Max Munty. 0:02:44.560 --> 0:02:47.839 That didn't hurt him because it was a double play ball. 0:02:47.960 --> 0:02:51.280 Right after that in a ten pitch second inning. His 0:02:51.400 --> 0:02:55.720 fifth inning, he threw seven pitches to get three outs 0:02:55.720 --> 0:03:00.240 and was through fifty six pitches through five innings. In 0:03:00.320 --> 0:03:03.480 the sixth inning, give up a one out single before 0:03:03.520 --> 0:03:07.440 getting out of the inning unscathed after throwing eleven pitches. 0:03:08.240 --> 0:03:11.040 Now you're wondering, and I was wondering, Colin. He was wondering. 0:03:11.520 --> 0:03:16.240 Sixty seven pitches, fifty strikes. He was efficient, didn't have 0:03:16.280 --> 0:03:19.760 a lot of stress on him over those six innings, 0:03:20.120 --> 0:03:22.080 didn't have a lot of pressure on him. Wasn't pitching 0:03:22.120 --> 0:03:25.120 out of the stretch very often in this game tonight. 0:03:25.639 --> 0:03:28.400 So why did he come out after six innings? Why 0:03:28.440 --> 0:03:32.799 not ride Justin Robleski longer. Well you heard from Robo, 0:03:33.440 --> 0:03:35.640 You're gonna hear from the manager, Dave Roberts. He was 0:03:35.680 --> 0:03:39.920 working on four days rest. That was it for Justin Robleski. 0:03:39.960 --> 0:03:41.720 And for a lot of you old school Dodger fans 0:03:41.720 --> 0:03:43.720 like myself and baseball fans, you're like. 0:03:44.240 --> 0:03:48.480 Four days rest, that's the norm. Well not this year. 0:03:48.720 --> 0:03:51.640 The Dodgers have a six man rotation, and because they 0:03:51.680 --> 0:03:55.320 have a six man rotation, that means there's five days 0:03:55.400 --> 0:03:58.840 usually for these starters in between starts, and that is 0:03:58.840 --> 0:04:01.720 what they've been going with for this year and now 0:04:01.880 --> 0:04:05.040 for just a second time this season, a Dodger starter 0:04:05.200 --> 0:04:08.920 going on four days rest. Justin Robleski, you know, not 0:04:09.200 --> 0:04:11.640 used to that, coming off and outing and pitcher. Remember 0:04:11.760 --> 0:04:13.840 go back to last week in PNC Park, had to 0:04:13.840 --> 0:04:16.200 come out of the game, the hamstring issue. You know, 0:04:16.360 --> 0:04:19.839 all this kind of combined together. One nothing lead after 0:04:19.880 --> 0:04:21.800 the home run from show ay O'tani, I don't think 0:04:21.839 --> 0:04:24.440 if show he hits the home runner, not Robleski's not 0:04:24.480 --> 0:04:25.360 going back out there. 0:04:25.400 --> 0:04:27.600 But fortunately show A hit the home run. 0:04:27.640 --> 0:04:30.120 When he did so, Robleski was in line for the 0:04:30.160 --> 0:04:32.400 win and he turned it over to the bullpen who 0:04:32.440 --> 0:04:35.280 combined for three shotout innings and he gets his victory, 0:04:35.320 --> 0:04:38.159 his eighth of the year. But I thought he looked 0:04:38.480 --> 0:04:41.080 so good out there. And I don't just say this 0:04:41.120 --> 0:04:42.800 because it was an hour and fifty two minute game 0:04:42.839 --> 0:04:45.600 and we all love quick games. But I love the 0:04:45.640 --> 0:04:50.160 pace that he pitches at. I can appreciate what he 0:04:50.279 --> 0:04:52.920 does out there on the mound and a couple of things. 0:04:53.240 --> 0:04:55.680 I think he's a product one of this new pitch 0:04:55.720 --> 0:04:57.160 clock generation of pitchers. 0:04:57.279 --> 0:04:59.159 This guy's only twenty five years old. 0:04:59.240 --> 0:05:02.080 You know they you're minted with the pitch clock before 0:05:02.720 --> 0:05:05.960 they brought it to the major leagues. Justin Robuski is 0:05:06.000 --> 0:05:08.320 now only in the second full season the major leagues. 0:05:08.920 --> 0:05:13.040 He got to use it in the minor leagues. He's 0:05:13.160 --> 0:05:14.839 used to it by the time he gets to the 0:05:14.880 --> 0:05:19.360 major leagues. And he's a young product of this new 0:05:19.480 --> 0:05:23.080 generation of starting pitchers that have to adjust and work quick. 0:05:23.480 --> 0:05:26.279 He's okay with it because he's been trained to do 0:05:26.360 --> 0:05:31.200 it coming up. And second of all, he understands the 0:05:31.320 --> 0:05:34.560 faster I work, the quicker and more efficient I work, 0:05:34.800 --> 0:05:36.920 the faster I can get my guys up to bat. 0:05:37.200 --> 0:05:41.320 And also I'm keeping my defense engaged. I'm not going 0:05:41.400 --> 0:05:45.040 deep into counts. I'm not having these lengthy at bats. 0:05:45.400 --> 0:05:48.520 I'm not putting guys on with free passes, with walks. 0:05:48.720 --> 0:05:52.760 I'm not having long innings. I'm not having these stressful innings. 0:05:53.080 --> 0:05:57.200 By working quick, being efficient, it keeps your defense on 0:05:57.240 --> 0:06:01.400 their toes because they're expecting a fast paced half inning 0:06:02.040 --> 0:06:04.960 and that's exactly what they get from Justin Roblusky. I 0:06:05.000 --> 0:06:10.200 could appreciate it. I like the pace that he works 0:06:10.240 --> 0:06:12.880 out there on the mount. Now, not every pitcher is 0:06:13.000 --> 0:06:15.800 like that, but I can appreciate him in this starring 0:06:15.920 --> 0:06:19.960 rotation being that hard throwing lefty that can mix it up, 0:06:20.040 --> 0:06:23.880 pitch backwards if he needs to pitch with depth as 0:06:24.160 --> 0:06:26.560 a guy who's built up now as a part of 0:06:26.560 --> 0:06:30.680 this rotation, I really do appreciate what Justin Roblusky does. 0:06:30.720 --> 0:06:32.720 And you know what, a tip of the cap to 0:06:32.760 --> 0:06:36.800 the guy for earning this spot in the rotation. 0:06:37.360 --> 0:06:39.400 This wasn't handed to him. 0:06:39.560 --> 0:06:43.159 And like, okay, because there's everybody hurt, we gotta have 0:06:43.279 --> 0:06:46.280 Robleski out there, all right, Let's see what he can do. 0:06:46.880 --> 0:06:51.080 Justin Robluski was a starting pitcher at Oklahoma State. Justin 0:06:51.120 --> 0:06:53.560 Robleski was hurt when he was drafted, come off with 0:06:53.600 --> 0:06:57.800 Tommy John surgery, Tommy, He came off the injury in 0:06:57.839 --> 0:07:01.360 the minor leagues, built himself up. Dodgers used him as 0:07:01.400 --> 0:07:06.400 a bulk inning reliever, an opener, a closer, a back 0:07:06.480 --> 0:07:08.839 end of the gang kind of pitcher. He did it 0:07:08.920 --> 0:07:11.400 all the first year and a half, and going into 0:07:11.440 --> 0:07:14.920 spring training this year, there was that battle for the 0:07:15.240 --> 0:07:19.840 fifth spot in the rotation. Bobby Miller got hurt, shoulder 0:07:19.960 --> 0:07:22.120 was barking, never really got into the mix. As far 0:07:22.160 --> 0:07:27.360 as the competition was concerned. Justin Robleski and shean fighting 0:07:27.440 --> 0:07:30.600 for that fifth spot. Now, as it turns out, Blake 0:07:30.640 --> 0:07:33.840 Snell wasn't ready to go. So it had two roster 0:07:33.920 --> 0:07:36.920 spots and two openings in the rotation for both these 0:07:36.920 --> 0:07:39.480 guys to grab. But if it was just the two 0:07:39.520 --> 0:07:42.000 of them fighting for that third spot, you can make 0:07:42.040 --> 0:07:46.080 a real, real strong case that he would have been 0:07:46.120 --> 0:07:49.000 the fifth starter coming out of spring training because a 0:07:49.040 --> 0:07:52.080 way he pitched and the way he has you know, 0:07:52.160 --> 0:07:55.200 gone out there and attacked the strike zone and allowed 0:07:55.240 --> 0:07:58.840 the Dodgers to win behind him with the offense and defense. 0:07:58.880 --> 0:08:01.400 That they have, and tonight it was on full display. 0:08:01.720 --> 0:08:05.640 Six shutout innings. So I mean fifty strikes out of 0:08:05.720 --> 0:08:08.679 the sixty seven pitches he threw, thirteen to twenty seven 0:08:08.720 --> 0:08:09.600 batters he faced. 0:08:09.720 --> 0:08:10.880 He got ahead oh one. 0:08:12.520 --> 0:08:15.280 I mean at one point he struck out three straight 0:08:15.320 --> 0:08:18.239 to end the first and to start the second. Got 0:08:18.280 --> 0:08:21.280 defense behind him with a double play ball in the second. 0:08:21.680 --> 0:08:25.120 Got a great defensive play in the sixth inning for 0:08:25.280 --> 0:08:28.560 Max Munsey diving to his glove side, going to one 0:08:28.640 --> 0:08:31.360 knee and laying out to rob a base it between 0:08:31.360 --> 0:08:34.120 the five to six hole there after a one out single, 0:08:34.920 --> 0:08:36.760 and then get to feel there's choice on a ground 0:08:36.760 --> 0:08:38.559 ball at the middle that Alex Freeland just flips to 0:08:38.640 --> 0:08:40.720 Mookie Betts for the force out of second. 0:08:40.840 --> 0:08:42.520 No damage done on the one out single. 0:08:42.760 --> 0:08:45.400 Eleven pitches in the inning, and he's sitting at sixty 0:08:45.480 --> 0:08:49.640 seven pitches after six shutout innings. Then the Dodgers bullpen 0:08:51.480 --> 0:08:53.680 will climb a lead off walk in the seventh. Now, 0:08:53.760 --> 0:08:56.200 I don't know about you, if you were listening, you're watching, 0:08:56.600 --> 0:08:59.160 you're at the game tonight, you're like sixty seven pitches 0:08:59.240 --> 0:09:02.120 just Roalbuski, he's dealing man. And then we get a 0:09:02.160 --> 0:09:04.440 lead off walk from Will Klin on five pitches. 0:09:04.960 --> 0:09:05.640 What's going on? 0:09:07.320 --> 0:09:11.160 Well, Will Klein settled in, got to pop out and 0:09:11.240 --> 0:09:14.920 then got a ground ball double play to get out 0:09:14.920 --> 0:09:19.120 of it. A real good job by Will Klein. Who again, 0:09:19.160 --> 0:09:23.000 we've seen this bullpen implode. We've seen the bullpen give 0:09:23.120 --> 0:09:26.319 up big innings. Just go back to Pittsburgh, go back 0:09:26.360 --> 0:09:29.640 to Chicago. Over the weekend Friday and Sunday, two big 0:09:29.679 --> 0:09:32.000 innings did in the Dodgers and those losses in the 0:09:32.040 --> 0:09:33.480 series lost to the White Sox. 0:09:34.200 --> 0:09:36.760 He kind of felt like, uh, oh, is this about 0:09:36.800 --> 0:09:37.559 to happen again? 0:09:38.720 --> 0:09:41.160 But to Will Klein's credit, was able to get a 0:09:41.160 --> 0:09:44.320 fly ball pop out to Will to Freddie Freeman at 0:09:44.360 --> 0:09:47.480 first and then induce a double playball to get out 0:09:47.520 --> 0:09:48.000 of the inning. 0:09:48.320 --> 0:09:49.199 And then Kyle. 0:09:49.000 --> 0:09:53.720 Hurt good outing by him, one two, three eighth inning, 0:09:53.960 --> 0:09:57.000 including a called strike three to get. 0:09:56.880 --> 0:09:59.920 Out of the eighth inning. That's exactly what Kyle Hurt needed. 0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:01.000 And then Tanner. 0:10:00.720 --> 0:10:04.760 Scott, you know, I'm not forgetting what happened with kateel 0:10:04.840 --> 0:10:07.320 Martine and Arizona, but you know what, he has put 0:10:07.360 --> 0:10:11.400 up more good games than he has bad outings. Tanner 0:10:11.440 --> 0:10:15.000 Scott with his ninth save of the year, striking out 0:10:15.040 --> 0:10:17.240 a pair and then getting the fly ball out to 0:10:17.240 --> 0:10:18.120 Andy pie Has to. 0:10:18.120 --> 0:10:18.640 End the game. 0:10:19.160 --> 0:10:21.880 A really good job by him coming out tonight and 0:10:21.920 --> 0:10:25.480 attack all the Dodger pitchers tonight. Attacked the strike zone. 0:10:26.040 --> 0:10:29.599 We're pumping strike one, We're going after. 0:10:29.360 --> 0:10:30.320 These raised hitters. 0:10:30.800 --> 0:10:33.680 And what you notice was it wasn't mistakes over the 0:10:33.679 --> 0:10:36.720 middle part of the plate because Junior Cavinaro, that guy 0:10:36.760 --> 0:10:40.000 can crush. That guy can hit one to lot g 0:10:40.200 --> 0:10:44.199 if he wanted to, and probably has during batting practice. 0:10:44.960 --> 0:10:47.040 That's the last thing you want to do is layout 0:10:47.040 --> 0:10:48.960 pitches over the plate for this race team that can 0:10:49.000 --> 0:10:52.200 hit it out of the park. Justin Robleski, a lot 0:10:52.240 --> 0:10:54.360 of times the ball was up in the strike zone, 0:10:54.960 --> 0:10:57.400 up and in too left tanned hitters. He did a 0:10:57.440 --> 0:11:02.040 great job of pumping first pitch strikes and fastballs for 0:11:02.120 --> 0:11:04.439 strikes up in the zone. 0:11:04.520 --> 0:11:06.559 And it wasn't like he was getting guys to chase. 0:11:06.800 --> 0:11:10.000 He was just elevating that fastball to the upper part 0:11:10.040 --> 0:11:13.120 of the zone and getting called strikes and getting swinging 0:11:13.120 --> 0:11:15.960 strikes for that matter as well. So it's just a 0:11:16.000 --> 0:11:19.360 great pitching performance all around by Justin Robleski and the 0:11:19.440 --> 0:11:22.440 three Dodger relievers. The offense was at a premium for 0:11:22.520 --> 0:11:29.040 both sides. Drew Rasmussen seven innings, one mistake, sho hey 0:11:29.040 --> 0:11:32.520 Otani's fifteenth home run of the season, and then defensively, 0:11:32.600 --> 0:11:35.200 we mentioned a couple double plays that were induced to 0:11:35.280 --> 0:11:39.559 end the innings and then Max Muntzi's diving stab at third. 0:11:40.480 --> 0:11:41.400 Good job by. 0:11:41.240 --> 0:11:44.880 The Dodgers defense today and again playing on their toes 0:11:45.000 --> 0:11:48.080 when you got a fast moving Justin Robluski on the 0:11:48.080 --> 0:11:50.600 mount eight six, six, nine eighty seven two five seventy. 0:11:50.800 --> 0:11:53.720 Let's hear quickly from the manager Dave roberts as weekend postgame, 0:11:54.000 --> 0:11:56.200 get his thoughts on this game and look at ahead 0:11:56.200 --> 0:12:00.560 tomorrow with show hey on the mound, looking you up, say. 0:12:00.520 --> 0:12:03.800 Tonro BLESSI again just from the first stitting, aren't really 0:12:03.840 --> 0:12:04.760 attacking tonight? 0:12:05.080 --> 0:12:06.840 Yeah, he was attacking all night. That's who he is. 0:12:06.880 --> 0:12:09.160 And it was good to see first day he was 0:12:09.200 --> 0:12:13.560 on you know, regular rest, short rest whatever, and so 0:12:13.559 --> 0:12:15.240 I didn't want to push him too much tonight, but 0:12:16.040 --> 0:12:18.720 he gave us everything we needed and it was just 0:12:18.760 --> 0:12:19.960 good to see him compete. 0:12:20.200 --> 0:12:22.640 And that's kind of what he does. How much of your. 0:12:22.520 --> 0:12:24.559 Defense has been overlooked? 0:12:24.559 --> 0:12:26.280 As far as the success. 0:12:25.920 --> 0:12:29.040 So far, it's you know, it just goes hand in 0:12:29.080 --> 0:12:32.360 hand the pitching with the defense, and the positioning has 0:12:32.400 --> 0:12:35.920 been great. The defense, you know, Max got a lot 0:12:35.960 --> 0:12:38.400 of action today, a lot of hard contact made plays, 0:12:38.960 --> 0:12:42.480 and then Mookie's just been fantastic. Get short and then 0:12:42.480 --> 0:12:45.959 the double play turn with Freeland right there. It was 0:12:46.000 --> 0:12:48.040 a big play, you know, when Klein was in the game. 0:12:48.160 --> 0:12:52.000 So just really stellar defense and certainly overlooked. But when 0:12:52.040 --> 0:12:53.640 you talk about the pitching, it has to be the 0:12:53.679 --> 0:12:55.280 defense has to be mentioned. 0:12:55.280 --> 0:12:57.800 Skiper, What's what pleases you the most? 0:12:57.840 --> 0:12:59.000 What pleased you the most. 0:12:58.840 --> 0:13:02.720 About Tonight's the thing that pleased me most about tonight 0:13:02.880 --> 0:13:06.480 is the way Robo just continued to, uh, you know, 0:13:06.520 --> 0:13:09.640 go after guys. And obviously it was a very fast game. 0:13:09.840 --> 0:13:13.080 The pace of play was great, you know, there was 0:13:13.120 --> 0:13:16.160 a rhythm to it. And Rasmussen is a very good picture. 0:13:16.200 --> 0:13:18.840 We don't see him very often, but this guy's an 0:13:18.880 --> 0:13:21.160 elite pitcher. And for us to you know, find a 0:13:21.160 --> 0:13:24.160 way show a hitting a homer to win an old 0:13:24.240 --> 0:13:28.240 school baseball game, one won nothing under two hours. 0:13:28.400 --> 0:13:32.240 Really fun baseball game to be part of a kind 0:13:32.240 --> 0:13:34.520 of aquire different some of the. 0:13:36.480 --> 0:13:38.160 You know, I think it's just it's just we talked 0:13:38.160 --> 0:13:39.920 about this a couple of weeks ago. It's just just 0:13:40.080 --> 0:13:42.679 near missing the baseball in the sense of he was 0:13:42.760 --> 0:13:45.839 hitting the ballhard, doubles some singles, and then if he 0:13:45.960 --> 0:13:47.720 was just missing it a little bit, there was going 0:13:47.800 --> 0:13:51.679 to be slug And so that's that's what's happening, seeing 0:13:51.679 --> 0:13:55.320 the baseball well, swinging at good pitches. And then yeah, 0:13:55.440 --> 0:13:57.360 like we've always talked about, when he used a big 0:13:57.400 --> 0:13:59.079 part of the field, there's just no one better. 0:14:00.200 --> 0:14:02.640 But if Roleiski's still in ninety seven in the first 0:14:02.679 --> 0:14:05.319 inning and he goes right after Kevin Arow the way 0:14:05.360 --> 0:14:07.760 he did in that first inning on three pitches, does 0:14:07.800 --> 0:14:10.839 that kind of tell you something about the way the 0:14:10.920 --> 0:14:12.079 n's going to go for him? 0:14:12.559 --> 0:14:16.000 You know, I just think that the dependability with Robo 0:14:16.040 --> 0:14:17.719 in the sense that you know that he's going to 0:14:17.800 --> 0:14:21.160 go after guys and his first pitch is like his 0:14:21.280 --> 0:14:25.320 last pitch, and he's an epitome of going as hard 0:14:25.360 --> 0:14:27.320 as you can for as long as you can and 0:14:27.640 --> 0:14:30.280 until the manager takes the ball from you. And tonight 0:14:30.440 --> 0:14:33.080 we asked, you know, six innings, and he did that 0:14:33.640 --> 0:14:36.440 and he passed the to the pen and they were fantastic. 0:14:36.560 --> 0:14:40.280 So I think the dependability from the first pitch. Yeah, 0:14:40.360 --> 0:14:42.520 you know, Kevin Arow is one of the really good 0:14:42.600 --> 0:14:45.840 hitters in baseball and it's fun to see a team 0:14:45.880 --> 0:14:47.440 like this because we don't see them very often, but 0:14:47.600 --> 0:14:48.280 very talented. 0:14:48.800 --> 0:14:50.920 And but yeah, he didn't run from that is. 0:14:50.880 --> 0:14:53.440 The sixth inning center. The sixty five pitches you had 0:14:53.480 --> 0:14:57.480 for him do to because because of the regular rest 0:14:57.560 --> 0:14:58.280 four days rest. 0:14:58.440 --> 0:15:01.120 Yeah, yeah, and you know, and I think he had 0:15:01.240 --> 0:15:03.480 you know, five punch which was great, but there was 0:15:03.520 --> 0:15:05.720 still some hard contact in there. So I think for me, it's, 0:15:05.800 --> 0:15:07.800 you know, you got to the teeth part of the lineup, 0:15:08.160 --> 0:15:12.280 and I just felt that with the short rest, he 0:15:12.320 --> 0:15:17.120 did his job. Show he's going to pitch and then 0:15:17.120 --> 0:15:17.880 he's not going to hit. 0:15:18.480 --> 0:15:18.920 All right. 0:15:18.960 --> 0:15:20.600 There. It is from the manager himself. 0:15:20.640 --> 0:15:23.960 Show, Hey, Otani will pitch but not serve as a 0:15:24.000 --> 0:15:27.080 designated hitter tomorrow as he takes the mount in this 0:15:27.200 --> 0:15:30.400 series finale against the Tampa Bay Rays. But tonight, show hey, 0:15:30.480 --> 0:15:34.320 the hitter with a solo home run a blast in 0:15:34.360 --> 0:15:36.800 the bottom half of the sixth inning is fifteenth of 0:15:36.800 --> 0:15:39.320 the year, to give the Dodgers a one nothing win. 0:15:39.360 --> 0:15:42.400 Dodgers Baseball is brought to by Medello Midello the mark 0:15:42.680 --> 0:15:46.120 of a fighter, Oz leaving Dodger Stadium tonight on this 0:15:46.240 --> 0:15:48.800 Tuesday night after a Dodgers win over the race. 0:15:48.840 --> 0:15:49.520 How you doing, Oz? 0:15:51.400 --> 0:15:52.400 Good Sim, how are you? 0:15:52.680 --> 0:15:56.000 I'm fantastic an hour fifty two minutes saw a great game, 0:15:56.240 --> 0:15:58.360 great pitchers duel and a show hey home run. 0:15:58.560 --> 0:15:59.000 Let's go. 0:16:01.000 --> 0:16:01.200 Jim. 0:16:01.360 --> 0:16:03.520 First of all, I want to say congratulations on to 0:16:03.520 --> 0:16:04.920 your daughter for graduating this year. 0:16:04.960 --> 0:16:09.600 That's a big accomplishment.

With Shean what he's doing, 0:18:04.440 --> 0:18:06.680 I would say, you know, if you're gonna trade one 0:18:06.800 --> 0:18:10.119 or the other, it was looking like Shean. Robo is, 0:18:10.640 --> 0:18:14.919 you know, pretty strong with his contact to the defense, 0:18:14.960 --> 0:18:18.520 making the defense play. He's like a singer ball pitcher 0:18:19.160 --> 0:18:19.760 doing his thing. 0:18:20.000 --> 0:18:22.080 Yeah, Yeah, he was efficient tonight. 0:18:22.119 --> 0:18:25.080 He's got the fastball mid nineties, Robert, I appreciate the 0:18:25.080 --> 0:18:27.040 phone call. He's got the fastball going. He had the 0:18:27.040 --> 0:18:30.359 cutter going. He had the sinker working as well. And 0:18:30.400 --> 0:18:32.480 I mentioned the fastball. It's one thing to be pumping 0:18:32.520 --> 0:18:35.000 six ninety six, ninety seven, but if you're throwing over 0:18:35.040 --> 0:18:36.520 to the middle of the play, those guys are gonna 0:18:36.600 --> 0:18:38.520 hit you, and you're gonna get hit around. We've seen 0:18:38.560 --> 0:18:41.359 that happen with Justin Robleski at times this year, the 0:18:41.400 --> 0:18:43.120 game against the Angels and where he had to wear 0:18:43.160 --> 0:18:45.200 it against Pittsburgh. He gave a couple of home runs 0:18:45.200 --> 0:18:47.480 at P and C Park. But when he's elevating that 0:18:47.520 --> 0:18:50.000 pitch and getting guys to swing on that fastball up 0:18:50.000 --> 0:18:52.600 in the zone and he's able to get guys, you know, 0:18:53.160 --> 0:18:55.200 to swing it to his offspeed pitches that are that 0:18:55.240 --> 0:18:58.960 are nibbling the corners. He's a tough guy to face. 0:18:59.280 --> 0:19:02.480 And the way he works, the efficiency that he works 0:19:02.520 --> 0:19:05.359 at the defense, you know, really on their toes playing 0:19:05.400 --> 0:19:06.639 behind him. 0:19:06.760 --> 0:19:08.720 Again, He's just a joy to watch out there. 0:19:08.760 --> 0:19:11.880 I'm gonna start going with with with RoboCop, a pun 0:19:11.960 --> 0:19:16.959 on the old eighties movie Part Man, Part Machine, All Pitcher, 0:19:18.000 --> 0:19:22.840 Justin Robleski, RoboCop, Kate in Torrents.
