Speaker 5: Hope you enjoyed that one nice and quick. Put a
Speaker 5: bow on it. Dodgers get a one to nothing win
Speaker 5: in an hour and fifty two minutes as they improved
Speaker 5: a forty seven twenty seven great pitching, good defense, and
Speaker 5: one big swing of the bat from sho hey Otani
Speaker 5: and the sixth inning is all they needed in a
Speaker 5: one to nothing shutout win over the Tampa Bay Rays.
Speaker 5: Their ninth shutout victory of this season, as they improved
Speaker 5: a forty seven and twenty seven on this season as
Speaker 5: a Dodgers now a nine game lead in the Division,
Speaker 5: nine games up on the San Diego Padres, nine and
Speaker 5: a half games up on the Arizona Diamondbacks in a
Speaker 5: game that took one hundred and twelve minutes. One hundred
Speaker 5: and twelve minutes, the shortest nine inning game for the
Speaker 5: Dodgers since nineteen ninety two, the shortest nine inning game
Speaker 5: at Dodger Stadium since nineteen eighty two, and the Dodgers
Speaker 5: will take it, especially with a quick turnaround on Wednesday Tomorrow,
Speaker 5: a nooner out at Dodgers Stadium was show Hey Otani
Speaker 5: scheduled to take the mount and will not serve as
Speaker 5: a dozen en hit or we know that Dave Roberts
Speaker 5: telling David Vassa just a few minutes ago, and we'll
Speaker 5: hear from the Dodger skipper coming up here very shortly.
Speaker 5: We'll all chill check in with Jose Mota, get his
Speaker 5: thoughts on this Dodger win tonight, and a lot to
Speaker 5: dissect and really look at what happened with this Dodger
Speaker 5: game tonight Justin Robleski first off, six shutout innings, scattered
Speaker 5: three hits, struck out five along the way, zero walks,
Speaker 5: attacking the strike zone, efficient, getting ahead in the count,
Speaker 5: oh one, getting in ahead in the count, and not
Speaker 5: falling behind three to zero, three to one. There wasn't
Speaker 5: a lot of deep at bats in this outing from
Speaker 5: Justin Robleski. Through twelve pitches in the first inning, had
Speaker 5: had a one out air at third by Max Munty.
Speaker 5: That didn't hurt him because it was a double play ball.
Speaker 5: Right after that in a ten pitch second inning. His
Speaker 5: fifth inning, he threw seven pitches to get three outs
Speaker 5: and was through fifty six pitches through five innings. In
Speaker 5: the sixth inning, give up a one out single before
Speaker 5: getting out of the inning unscathed after throwing eleven pitches.
Speaker 6: Now you're wondering, and I was wondering, Colin. He was wondering.
Speaker 5: Sixty seven pitches, fifty strikes. He was efficient, didn't have
Speaker 5: a lot of stress on him over those six innings,
Speaker 5: didn't have a lot of pressure on him. Wasn't pitching
Speaker 5: out of the stretch very often in this game tonight.
Speaker 5: So why did he come out after six innings? Why
Speaker 5: not ride Justin Robleski longer. Well you heard from Robo,
Speaker 5: You're gonna hear from the manager, Dave Roberts. He was
Speaker 5: working on four days rest. That was it for Justin Robleski.
Speaker 5: And for a lot of you old school Dodger fans
Speaker 5: like myself and baseball fans, you're like.
Speaker 6: Four days rest, that's the norm. Well not this year.
Speaker 5: The Dodgers have a six man rotation, and because they
Speaker 5: have a six man rotation, that means there's five days
Speaker 5: usually for these starters in between starts, and that is
Speaker 5: what they've been going with for this year and now
Speaker 5: for just a second time this season, a Dodger starter
Speaker 5: going on four days rest. Justin Robleski, you know, not
Speaker 5: used to that, coming off and outing and pitcher. Remember
Speaker 5: go back to last week in PNC Park, had to
Speaker 5: come out of the game, the hamstring issue. You know,
Speaker 5: all this kind of combined together. One nothing lead after
Speaker 5: the home run from show ay O'tani, I don't think
Speaker 5: if show he hits the home runner, not Robleski's not
Speaker 5: going back out there.
Speaker 6: But fortunately show A hit the home run.
Speaker 5: When he did so, Robleski was in line for the
Speaker 5: win and he turned it over to the bullpen who
Speaker 5: combined for three shotout innings and he gets his victory,
Speaker 5: his eighth of the year. But I thought he looked
Speaker 5: so good out there. And I don't just say this
Speaker 5: because it was an hour and fifty two minute game
Speaker 5: and we all love quick games. But I love the
Speaker 5: pace that he pitches at. I can appreciate what he
Speaker 5: does out there on the mound and a couple of things.
Speaker 5: I think he's a product one of this new pitch
Speaker 5: clock generation of pitchers.
Speaker 6: This guy's only twenty five years old.
Speaker 5: You know they you're minted with the pitch clock before
Speaker 5: they brought it to the major leagues. Justin Robuski is
Speaker 5: now only in the second full season the major leagues.
Speaker 5: He got to use it in the minor leagues. He's
Speaker 5: used to it by the time he gets to the
Speaker 5: major leagues. And he's a young product of this new
Speaker 5: generation of starting pitchers that have to adjust and work quick.
Speaker 5: He's okay with it because he's been trained to do
Speaker 5: it coming up. And second of all, he understands the
Speaker 5: faster I work, the quicker and more efficient I work,
Speaker 5: the faster I can get my guys up to bat.
Speaker 5: And also I'm keeping my defense engaged. I'm not going
Speaker 5: deep into counts. I'm not having these lengthy at bats.
Speaker 5: I'm not putting guys on with free passes, with walks.
Speaker 5: I'm not having long innings. I'm not having these stressful innings.
Speaker 5: By working quick, being efficient, it keeps your defense on
Speaker 5: their toes because they're expecting a fast paced half inning
Speaker 5: and that's exactly what they get from Justin Roblusky. I
Speaker 5: could appreciate it. I like the pace that he works
Speaker 5: out there on the mount. Now, not every pitcher is
Speaker 5: like that, but I can appreciate him in this starring
Speaker 5: rotation being that hard throwing lefty that can mix it up,
Speaker 5: pitch backwards if he needs to pitch with depth as
Speaker 5: a guy who's built up now as a part of
Speaker 5: this rotation, I really do appreciate what Justin Roblusky does.
Speaker 5: And you know what, a tip of the cap to
Speaker 5: the guy for earning this spot in the rotation.
Speaker 6: This wasn't handed to him.
Speaker 5: And like, okay, because there's everybody hurt, we gotta have
Speaker 5: Robleski out there, all right, Let's see what he can do.
Speaker 5: Justin Robluski was a starting pitcher at Oklahoma State. Justin
Speaker 5: Robleski was hurt when he was drafted, come off with
Speaker 5: Tommy John surgery, Tommy, He came off the injury in
Speaker 5: the minor leagues, built himself up. Dodgers used him as
Speaker 5: a bulk inning reliever, an opener, a closer, a back
Speaker 5: end of the gang kind of pitcher. He did it
Speaker 5: all the first year and a half, and going into
Speaker 5: spring training this year, there was that battle for the
Speaker 5: fifth spot in the rotation. Bobby Miller got hurt, shoulder
Speaker 5: was barking, never really got into the mix. As far
Speaker 5: as the competition was concerned. Justin Robleski and shean fighting
Speaker 5: for that fifth spot. Now, as it turns out, Blake
Speaker 5: Snell wasn't ready to go. So it had two roster
Speaker 5: spots and two openings in the rotation for both these
Speaker 5: guys to grab. But if it was just the two
Speaker 5: of them fighting for that third spot, you can make
Speaker 5: a real, real strong case that he would have been
Speaker 5: the fifth starter coming out of spring training because a
Speaker 5: way he pitched and the way he has you know,
Speaker 5: gone out there and attacked the strike zone and allowed
Speaker 5: the Dodgers to win behind him with the offense and defense.
Speaker 5: That they have, and tonight it was on full display.
Speaker 5: Six shutout innings. So I mean fifty strikes out of
Speaker 5: the sixty seven pitches he threw, thirteen to twenty seven
Speaker 5: batters he faced.
Speaker 6: He got ahead oh one.
Speaker 5: I mean at one point he struck out three straight
Speaker 5: to end the first and to start the second. Got
Speaker 5: defense behind him with a double play ball in the second.
Speaker 5: Got a great defensive play in the sixth inning for
Speaker 5: Max Munsey diving to his glove side, going to one
Speaker 5: knee and laying out to rob a base it between
Speaker 5: the five to six hole there after a one out single,
Speaker 5: and then get to feel there's choice on a ground
Speaker 5: ball at the middle that Alex Freeland just flips to
Speaker 5: Mookie Betts for the force out of second.
Speaker 6: No damage done on the one out single.
Speaker 5: Eleven pitches in the inning, and he's sitting at sixty
Speaker 5: seven pitches after six shutout innings. Then the Dodgers bullpen
Speaker 5: will climb a lead off walk in the seventh. Now,
Speaker 5: I don't know about you, if you were listening, you're watching,
Speaker 5: you're at the game tonight, you're like sixty seven pitches
Speaker 5: just Roalbuski, he's dealing man. And then we get a
Speaker 5: lead off walk from Will Klin on five pitches.
Speaker 1: What's going on?
Speaker 5: Well, Will Klein settled in, got to pop out and
Speaker 5: then got a ground ball double play to get out
Speaker 5: of it. A real good job by Will Klein. Who again,
Speaker 5: we've seen this bullpen implode. We've seen the bullpen give
Speaker 5: up big innings. Just go back to Pittsburgh, go back
Speaker 5: to Chicago. Over the weekend Friday and Sunday, two big
Speaker 5: innings did in the Dodgers and those losses in the
Speaker 5: series lost to the White Sox.
Speaker 6: He kind of felt like, uh, oh, is this about
Speaker 6: to happen again?
Speaker 5: But to Will Klein's credit, was able to get a
Speaker 5: fly ball pop out to Will to Freddie Freeman at
Speaker 5: first and then induce a double playball to get out
Speaker 5: of the inning.
Speaker 6: And then Kyle.
Speaker 5: Hurt good outing by him, one two, three eighth inning,
Speaker 5: including a called strike three to get.
Speaker 6: Out of the eighth inning. That's exactly what Kyle Hurt needed.
Speaker 6: And then Tanner.
Speaker 5: Scott, you know, I'm not forgetting what happened with kateel
Speaker 5: Martine and Arizona, but you know what, he has put
Speaker 5: up more good games than he has bad outings. Tanner
Speaker 5: Scott with his ninth save of the year, striking out
Speaker 5: a pair and then getting the fly ball out to
Speaker 5: Andy pie Has to.
Speaker 6: End the game.
Speaker 5: A really good job by him coming out tonight and
Speaker 5: attack all the Dodger pitchers tonight. Attacked the strike zone.
Speaker 5: We're pumping strike one, We're going after.
Speaker 6: These raised hitters.
Speaker 5: And what you notice was it wasn't mistakes over the
Speaker 5: middle part of the plate because Junior Cavinaro, that guy
Speaker 5: can crush. That guy can hit one to lot g
Speaker 5: if he wanted to, and probably has during batting practice.
Speaker 5: That's the last thing you want to do is layout
Speaker 5: pitches over the plate for this race team that can
Speaker 5: hit it out of the park. Justin Robleski, a lot
Speaker 5: of times the ball was up in the strike zone,
Speaker 5: up and in too left tanned hitters. He did a
Speaker 5: great job of pumping first pitch strikes and fastballs for
Speaker 5: strikes up in the zone.
Speaker 6: And it wasn't like he was getting guys to chase.
Speaker 5: He was just elevating that fastball to the upper part
Speaker 5: of the zone and getting called strikes and getting swinging
Speaker 5: strikes for that matter as well. So it's just a
Speaker 5: great pitching performance all around by Justin Robleski and the
Speaker 5: three Dodger relievers. The offense was at a premium for
Speaker 5: both sides. Drew Rasmussen seven innings, one mistake, sho hey
Speaker 5: Otani's fifteenth home run of the season, and then defensively,
Speaker 5: we mentioned a couple double plays that were induced to
Speaker 5: end the innings and then Max Muntzi's diving stab at third.
Speaker 6: Good job by.
Speaker 5: The Dodgers defense today and again playing on their toes
Speaker 5: when you got a fast moving Justin Robluski on the
Speaker 5: mount eight six, six, nine eighty seven two five seventy.
Speaker 5: Let's hear quickly from the manager Dave roberts as weekend postgame,
Speaker 5: get his thoughts on this game and look at ahead
Speaker 5: tomorrow with show hey on the mound, looking you up, say.
Speaker 2: Tonro BLESSI again just from the first stitting, aren't really
Speaker 2: attacking tonight?
Speaker 3: Yeah, he was attacking all night. That's who he is.
Speaker 7: And it was good to see first day he was
Speaker 7: on you know, regular rest, short rest whatever, and so
Speaker 7: I didn't want to push him too much tonight, but
Speaker 7: he gave us everything we needed and it was just
Speaker 7: good to see him compete.
Speaker 3: And that's kind of what he does. How much of your.
Speaker 2: Defense has been overlooked?
Speaker 3: As far as the success.
Speaker 7: So far, it's you know, it just goes hand in
Speaker 7: hand the pitching with the defense, and the positioning has
Speaker 7: been great. The defense, you know, Max got a lot
Speaker 7: of action today, a lot of hard contact made plays,
Speaker 7: and then Mookie's just been fantastic. Get short and then
Speaker 7: the double play turn with Freeland right there. It was
Speaker 7: a big play, you know, when Klein was in the game.
Speaker 7: So just really stellar defense and certainly overlooked. But when
Speaker 7: you talk about the pitching, it has to be the
Speaker 7: defense has to be mentioned.
Speaker 6: Skiper, What's what pleases you the most?
Speaker 3: What pleased you the most.
Speaker 7: About Tonight's the thing that pleased me most about tonight
Speaker 7: is the way Robo just continued to, uh, you know,
Speaker 7: go after guys. And obviously it was a very fast game.
Speaker 7: The pace of play was great, you know, there was
Speaker 7: a rhythm to it. And Rasmussen is a very good picture.
Speaker 7: We don't see him very often, but this guy's an
Speaker 7: elite pitcher. And for us to you know, find a
Speaker 7: way show a hitting a homer to win an old
Speaker 7: school baseball game, one won nothing under two hours.
Speaker 3: Really fun baseball game to be part of a kind
Speaker 3: of aquire different some of the.
Speaker 7: You know, I think it's just it's just we talked
Speaker 7: about this a couple of weeks ago. It's just just
Speaker 7: near missing the baseball in the sense of he was
Speaker 7: hitting the ballhard, doubles some singles, and then if he
Speaker 7: was just missing it a little bit, there was going
Speaker 7: to be slug And so that's that's what's happening, seeing
Speaker 7: the baseball well, swinging at good pitches. And then yeah,
Speaker 7: like we've always talked about, when he used a big
Speaker 7: part of the field, there's just no one better.
Speaker 2: But if Roleiski's still in ninety seven in the first
Speaker 2: inning and he goes right after Kevin Arow the way
Speaker 2: he did in that first inning on three pitches, does
Speaker 2: that kind of tell you something about the way the
Speaker 2: n's going to go for him?
Speaker 7: You know, I just think that the dependability with Robo
Speaker 7: in the sense that you know that he's going to
Speaker 7: go after guys and his first pitch is like his
Speaker 7: last pitch, and he's an epitome of going as hard
Speaker 7: as you can for as long as you can and
Speaker 7: until the manager takes the ball from you. And tonight
Speaker 7: we asked, you know, six innings, and he did that
Speaker 7: and he passed the to the pen and they were fantastic.
Speaker 7: So I think the dependability from the first pitch. Yeah,
Speaker 7: you know, Kevin Arow is one of the really good
Speaker 7: hitters in baseball and it's fun to see a team
Speaker 7: like this because we don't see them very often, but
Speaker 7: very talented.
Speaker 3: And but yeah, he didn't run from that is.
Speaker 2: The sixth inning center. The sixty five pitches you had
Speaker 2: for him do to because because of the regular rest
Speaker 2: four days rest.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, and you know, and I think he had
Speaker 7: you know, five punch which was great, but there was
Speaker 7: still some hard contact in there. So I think for me, it's,
Speaker 7: you know, you got to the teeth part of the lineup,
Speaker 7: and I just felt that with the short rest, he
Speaker 7: did his job. Show he's going to pitch and then
Speaker 7: he's not going to hit.
Speaker 3: All right.
Speaker 6: There. It is from the manager himself.
Speaker 5: Show, Hey, Otani will pitch but not serve as a
Speaker 5: designated hitter tomorrow as he takes the mount in this
Speaker 5: series finale against the Tampa Bay Rays. But tonight, show hey,
Speaker 5: the hitter with a solo home run a blast in
Speaker 5: the bottom half of the sixth inning is fifteenth of
Speaker 5: the year, to give the Dodgers a one nothing win.
Speaker 5: Dodgers Baseball is brought to by Medello Midello the mark
Speaker 5: of a fighter, Oz leaving Dodger Stadium tonight on this
Speaker 5: Tuesday night after a Dodgers win over the race.
Speaker 6: How you doing, Oz?
Speaker 8: Good Sim, how are you?
Speaker 5: I'm fantastic an hour fifty two minutes saw a great game,
Speaker 5: great pitchers duel and a show hey home run.
Speaker 6: Let's go.
Speaker 1: Jim.
Speaker 9: First of all, I want to say congratulations on to
Speaker 9: your daughter for graduating this year.
Speaker 6: That's a big accomplishment. Thank you appreciate it. And then second,
Speaker 6: second course, Second, all I want to say is my
Speaker 6: call is just full of gratitude.
Speaker 9: From show Hay to the starter.
Speaker 5: And justin to the bullpen.
Speaker 8: It's a Will cling and Tenner Scott slamming the door.
Speaker 6: We have to be grateful for what we see every
Speaker 6: single night, day in and day out.
Speaker 8: I think you had said this after the Dodgers one in.
Speaker 10: Twenty twenty, is like, you don't get to see this
Speaker 10: every single year.
Speaker 8: It's not that the Dodgers sprinkled in.
Speaker 4: A World Series in the nineties or you know, in
Speaker 4: the early two thousand.
Speaker 8: So we just have to keep faith and rely on
Speaker 8: what we see.
Speaker 5: And just enjoy what we have for right now.
Speaker 8: That's all I have to say, Tim, thank you.
Speaker 5: I appreciate it. Oz, thanks for checking in. You saw
Speaker 5: a good one tonight. Forty and seventy in attendance at
Speaker 5: at Uniclo Fuel the Dodger Stadium in a game that
Speaker 5: took one hundred and eleven minutes, an hour and fifty
Speaker 5: two minutes if you're keeping track, in a one nothing
Speaker 5: Dodgers shutout over the Tampa Bay Rays, the Dodgers down
Speaker 5: nine games up in the division over San Diego, nine
Speaker 5: and a half games up over Arizona in the NL West.
Speaker 5: Is Justin Robleski goes six shutout innings for the win.
Speaker 5: Drew Rasmusin pitched well, he gets the lost Hanner Scott
Speaker 5: struck out two of the three batters that he faced
Speaker 5: to pick up his ninth.
Speaker 6: Save of the season.
Speaker 5: Again, shoey Otani providing the power tonight a solo home run,
Speaker 5: and tomorrow will provide the pitching, but not the hitting pitcher.
Speaker 5: Only tomorrow for show hey Otani as he takes them out,
Speaker 5: we will see the debut with Tommy Edmond, who is
Speaker 5: coming off the injured listen playing for the first time
Speaker 5: here in twenty twenty six. Robert and Chino, it's next
Speaker 5: up here on Dodge Talk. Robert, how you doing, my friend?
Speaker 5: Praising yourself doing fantastic an hour and fifty two minutes show.
Speaker 6: Hey goes deep.
Speaker 5: Robo is the man and the Dodgers now nine games
Speaker 5: up in the division and we haven't gotten to the
Speaker 5: fourth of July yet.
Speaker 8: Yeah, ROBO's proven himself, making him pretty hard to trade
Speaker 8: with his production and everything. With Shean what he's doing,
Speaker 8: I would say, you know, if you're gonna trade one
Speaker 8: or the other, it was looking like Shean. Robo is,
Speaker 8: you know, pretty strong with his contact to the defense,
Speaker 8: making the defense play. He's like a singer ball pitcher
Speaker 8: doing his thing.
Speaker 6: Yeah, Yeah, he was efficient tonight.
Speaker 5: He's got the fastball mid nineties, Robert, I appreciate the
Speaker 5: phone call. He's got the fastball going. He had the
Speaker 5: cutter going. He had the sinker working as well. And
Speaker 5: I mentioned the fastball. It's one thing to be pumping
Speaker 5: six ninety six, ninety seven, but if you're throwing over
Speaker 5: to the middle of the play, those guys are gonna
Speaker 5: hit you, and you're gonna get hit around. We've seen
Speaker 5: that happen with Justin Robleski at times this year, the
Speaker 5: game against the Angels and where he had to wear
Speaker 5: it against Pittsburgh. He gave a couple of home runs
Speaker 5: at P and C Park. But when he's elevating that
Speaker 5: pitch and getting guys to swing on that fastball up
Speaker 5: in the zone and he's able to get guys, you know,
Speaker 5: to swing it to his offspeed pitches that are that
Speaker 5: are nibbling the corners. He's a tough guy to face.
Speaker 5: And the way he works, the efficiency that he works
Speaker 5: at the defense, you know, really on their toes playing
Speaker 5: behind him.
Speaker 6: Again, He's just a joy to watch out there.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna start going with with with RoboCop, a pun
Speaker 5: on the old eighties movie Part Man, Part Machine, All Pitcher,
Speaker 5: Justin Robleski, RoboCop, Kate in Torrents. Thanks for being patient,

Speaker 9: need some time to think it over and get myself
Speaker 9: ready and things like that. But these young guys, man,
Speaker 9: it's like they have the clock in their mind. It's
Speaker 9: like tick, let's go, I'm ready to go. One thing
Speaker 9: I like it's urgency on the part of justerro Bleski.
Speaker 9: Number two is let's give some credit to Chuckie Robinson man,
Speaker 9: because let me tell you, these two guys were like
Speaker 9: throwing a bullpen. They're like in rhythm. He gave great targets,
Speaker 9: he had them in the great rhythm, they're on the
Speaker 9: same page. You didn't see a whole lot of shaking
Speaker 9: and with the you know, the PitchCom and he won
Speaker 9: fastball happy against the club that does not hit fastball
Speaker 9: very well, which is one thing you want to see
Speaker 9: from a picture. Right, he's got the experience to know
Speaker 9: he's got ninety four, he's got ninety seven in his pocket.
Speaker 9: The Rays are one of the poorest hitting teams against
Speaker 9: fastballs in all of baseball. Now you go on reaction.
Speaker 9: How are they reacting? Do they know I'm going to
Speaker 9: throw it? And from there on he went, okay, not
Speaker 9: only are my force teamer, but he won sinkers today.
Speaker 9: He you on twelve sinkers and you see the effectiveness
Speaker 9: do you have the lots of when you're sitting on
Speaker 9: it adding to movement And that makes a big difference
Speaker 9: between current and baseball and not.
Speaker 5: Tim talk about being a defensive player behind a pitcher
Speaker 5: like Justin Robleski Jose and you know you see a
Speaker 5: guy working quick, you know he's going to be efficient.
Speaker 5: What does that do as a guy playing behind him?
Speaker 9: Oh, it makes you better because you're always on your
Speaker 9: toes as number one. But I think you get into
Speaker 9: rhythm too, where you know exactly when to get your
Speaker 9: feet set. It's like a great dance. Everything's in coordination.
Speaker 9: You know exactly where you're You know a couple's gonna do,
Speaker 9: You know exactly and anticipate what sequences he's going to
Speaker 9: be using. So in that way, well you start cheating.
Speaker 9: And cheating is a good thing on the infield side
Speaker 9: and on the defensive side, because you start leaning in
Speaker 9: one direction, anticipate one thing or the other, and when
Speaker 9: you consistent, even on your missus, it's gonna make you anticipate,
Speaker 9: get better routes, get better first step, and you know,
Speaker 9: playing good defense, it's about really positioning. But it's about
Speaker 9: the first step and how you get to the baseball
Speaker 9: because the first step is gonna set up everything with
Speaker 9: your hands, your eyes, and also for you to find
Speaker 9: a great hob to go out there and find yourself.
Speaker 9: And it always goes together because the pitcher sees good
Speaker 9: defense behind him and he agrees to tell himself, hey,
Speaker 9: it's not just about the punch outs. I may have
Speaker 9: ninety seven today, I may have ninety eight, but these
Speaker 9: guys are making plains. I want to go deep into
Speaker 9: a game. And that's exactly what happens, is one fitting
Speaker 9: out for the thrower. But I think the pitcher needs
Speaker 9: to pay attention to to know that it's not all
Speaker 9: about amping up and throwing that fast white people.
Speaker 6: Jose show Hey is showy.
Speaker 5: The solo home run is all the Dodgers needed, and
Speaker 5: he absolutely blasted that. But I want to touch upon
Speaker 5: the bullpen and Will climb the leadoff walk in this
Speaker 5: seventh five pitches he comes in and I don't know
Speaker 5: about you. I immediately was like, oh no, here we go.
Speaker 5: The bullpen is gonna let this one maybe get away,
Speaker 5: and you put the tie run on first immediately coming
Speaker 5: in at the bullpen. His credit though, got a fly
Speaker 5: ball out to Freddie Freeman and then a ground ball
Speaker 5: double play to get out of it.
Speaker 6: What do you think?
Speaker 5: What did you think about Will Kline and then Kyle
Speaker 5: Hurt and Tanner Scott behind him, those guys going out
Speaker 5: and putting them.
Speaker 9: Zeros, just like last night the bullpen going out there
Speaker 9: and throwing strikes getting rid of the first guy. It
Speaker 9: didn't happen with Caminado and Clining, but I think with
Speaker 9: coming Ado, we gotta be careful there. I think he
Speaker 9: was trying to be so careful that he is not missing,
Speaker 9: and they say Yankees and fast balls or were kind
Speaker 9: of crossover on the other side, comes back strong and
Speaker 9: it makes a good location on Ryan Vlay. You gotta
Speaker 9: be careful of Bla too. I mean, he's having a
Speaker 9: very good year as the most he's ever played as
Speaker 9: a big Lyrics is producing quite well. And then you're
Speaker 9: pitching to the weak spots, so you're pitching too. A
Speaker 9: guy's anticipating one location against Williamson gets a double play.
Speaker 9: Good defense behind him. Again, positioning by the Dodgers and
Speaker 9: the guys in tintipating the baseball, it just makes all
Speaker 9: much much better. And for will Klein and the rest
Speaker 9: of the bullpen, it's great to get to punch out
Speaker 9: stim it's great to get the swings and misses. But
Speaker 9: let's not forget even as managers, it's not so much
Speaker 9: about the swings and missions of times, it's about a
Speaker 9: guy that can come and help you get some weak contact,
Speaker 9: stay in the zone, and if the defense your defense
Speaker 9: is and the rhythm throughout the game, there's no need
Speaker 9: to distort it by trying to just go out there
Speaker 9: and have guys trying to amp up with those fastballs
Speaker 9: and get it buy him. I mean the rais Or
Speaker 9: a team that came into today first and batting collectively
Speaker 9: in the American League number three in baseball, so it's
Speaker 9: not like they're easy out. But so far this series
Speaker 9: of dollars have made so many great pitches of what
Speaker 9: in the beginning by being able to work the defense
Speaker 9: along with the pitching quite well.
Speaker 6: An hour and fifty two minutes.
Speaker 5: How about we get an hour and fifty tomorrow with
Speaker 5: Sham and klanahan and show hey Otanya on.
Speaker 6: The man, another good pitcher's duel with two guys that
Speaker 6: can fill up the strike zone.
Speaker 9: What if I toy that's not gonna happen.
Speaker 5: Yeah, they don't really necessarily work at the same pace
Speaker 5: as justin robles.
Speaker 9: No, let's how those guys do what they do. McClanahan
Speaker 9: obviously one of the best pitches in baseball. Show heavy
Speaker 9: and show he's going to take the time. And you know,
Speaker 9: Showy on the other side has been using the clock
Speaker 9: to the very max sometimes to throw off hitter, so
Speaker 9: you know, smallly enough he knows exactly how to do it.
Speaker 9: I saw a bullpen today which it was supposed to
Speaker 9: be a short bullpen, tim but it was like a
Speaker 9: full on as Mike sushould say, a full gorilla bullpen
Speaker 9: today for Shohio Tony. But I'm glad that the knee
Speaker 9: responded well the way that I saw him deliver over
Speaker 9: that right leg. Everything seems to be lining up nicely
Speaker 9: for him for tomorrow.
Speaker 6: Can not wait till tomorrow.
Speaker 5: First pitch of twelve ten, Jose, We'll talk to you
Speaker 5: tomorrow after the game.
Speaker 3: Let's do it all right.
Speaker 6: There, He goes Jose Mo to join it us here

Speaker 5: over the Tampa Bay Rays. Justin Robleski the six shutout innings.
Speaker 6: He gets the win.
Speaker 5: He's now eight and two on this season. Drew Rasmussen
Speaker 5: gets the loss. He falls to six and three. He
Speaker 5: pitched well tonight. One mistake, it was a costly one.
Speaker 5: Shoho Tani's fifteenth home run of the season as solo
Speaker 5: blast to lead off the bottom of the six and
Speaker 5: then the Dodgers' bullpen three shutout innings. Tanner Scott with
Speaker 5: the exclamation point, striking out two of the three batters
Speaker 5: that he faced for his ninth save of the years.
Speaker 5: The Dodgers again pick up more ground in the NL.
Speaker 5: The Padres and the Diamondbacks both lost, so the Dodgers
Speaker 5: are now nine games up on San Diego, nine and
Speaker 5: a half games up on Arizona. Well, tomorrow we're only

Speaker 5: up with them.

Speaker 12: a couple of months that I haven't gotten to play,

Speaker 2: forty days and forty nights.

Speaker 12: lot of good players, and you know, it was just
Speaker 12: fun to get back to playing.
