0:01:01.320 --> 0:01:03.960
<v Speaker 3>are eight and a half games up in the division,

0:01:03.960 --> 0:01:06.240
<v Speaker 3>with the possibility of pushing that number to nine because

0:01:06.240 --> 0:01:10.200
<v Speaker 3>the Padres have already lost today. Roki Sasaki on the

0:01:10.200 --> 0:01:12.320
<v Speaker 3>mound first pitch, and course field is coming up at

<v Speaker 3>broadcast both with Tim Neverd and Rick Monday in just

0:01:35.040 --> 0:01:38.120
<v Speaker 3>a couple of minutes. Eric Lower yesterday got the start

0:01:38.319 --> 0:01:40.800
<v Speaker 3>in game two of this three games set. The left

0:01:40.800 --> 0:01:44.320
<v Speaker 3>hander has been pretty much good since coming over from Toronto,

0:01:44.480 --> 0:01:47.319
<v Speaker 3>just one loss in a Dodger uniform. Looking to bounce

0:01:47.400 --> 0:01:50.480
<v Speaker 3>back after a shaky outing in Chicago couple starts ago, Well,

0:01:50.560 --> 0:01:52.600
<v Speaker 3>he looks pretty good. Last night five innings gave U

0:01:52.680 --> 0:01:54.800
<v Speaker 3>four runs on six hits. The Dodgers game an early

0:01:54.880 --> 0:01:58.160
<v Speaker 3>lead to work with thanks to a Max Mounsey sackfly

0:01:58.360 --> 0:02:00.080
<v Speaker 3>in the top of the first, Dodgers out to a

0:02:00.400 --> 0:02:03.560
<v Speaker 3>one nothing lead. However, the Rockies would tie back up

0:02:03.600 --> 0:02:05.560
<v Speaker 3>with an RBI double on the bottom first. We were

0:02:05.600 --> 0:02:08.640
<v Speaker 3>tied at one going to the third win Show Hey

0:02:08.720 --> 0:02:12.560
<v Speaker 3>o'tany clobbered a four hundred and forty eight foot home

0:02:12.639 --> 0:02:15.600
<v Speaker 3>run to a right center field two run shot, his

0:02:15.720 --> 0:02:18.440
<v Speaker 3>thirtieth of the year. Dodgers jumped out to a three

0:02:18.520 --> 0:02:21.120
<v Speaker 3>to two lead, but the Rockies working to go away quietly.

0:02:21.160 --> 0:02:23.480
<v Speaker 3>In the bottom of the third, yep but RBI double,

0:02:23.720 --> 0:02:25.920
<v Speaker 3>RBI double, and all of a sudden, the game was

0:02:25.960 --> 0:02:28.440
<v Speaker 3>tied again at three. We go to the top half

0:02:28.520 --> 0:02:31.519
<v Speaker 3>of the fourth inning. Speaking at doubles, Ryan Feltnoner on

0:02:31.560 --> 0:02:33.560
<v Speaker 3>the mound for the Rockies and the Dodgers with the

0:02:33.600 --> 0:02:35.880
<v Speaker 3>doubles parade. It started with Tommy Edmond a lead off

0:02:35.919 --> 0:02:39.400
<v Speaker 3>double the center. Then up came up the struggling Kyle Tucker.

0:02:39.720 --> 0:02:42.920
<v Speaker 2>Talker, Justin's batting helmet, left handed hitter looks out. Feltner

0:02:43.000 --> 0:02:43.720
<v Speaker 2>fires and.

0:02:43.840 --> 0:02:45.080
<v Speaker 1>The ball hit right along the line.

0:02:45.080 --> 0:02:47.400
<v Speaker 2>That's a fair ball that's gonna go down the line.

0:02:47.600 --> 0:02:48.640
<v Speaker 1>Edmund around third.

0:02:48.680 --> 0:02:52.280
<v Speaker 2>He'll score and Tucker into second with a run scoring

0:02:52.360 --> 0:02:56.120
<v Speaker 2>double and for Kyle Tucker that breaks up a string

0:02:56.160 --> 0:02:59.640
<v Speaker 2>of oh for twenty six as he pitched up his

0:02:59.760 --> 0:03:02.400
<v Speaker 2>night t teenth double in this fifty fifth run batted

0:03:02.480 --> 0:03:04.320
<v Speaker 2>in and it came on the changeup.

0:03:04.720 --> 0:03:07.639
<v Speaker 3>Kyle Tucker needed that, Dodgers needed it as well, and

0:03:07.840 --> 0:03:10.400
<v Speaker 3>RBI doubled the second in a row that made it

0:03:10.440 --> 0:03:13.720
<v Speaker 3>a four to three Dodgers lead. The very next batter,

0:03:14.120 --> 0:03:16.720
<v Speaker 3>Ta Hoosker Hernandez. How about another double.

0:03:17.240 --> 0:03:19.280
<v Speaker 2>And the pitch swung out that's in the right center

0:03:19.320 --> 0:03:22.760
<v Speaker 2>that's going to get down for a hit. Tucker is

0:03:22.760 --> 0:03:25.679
<v Speaker 2>going to get waived around third and in with a

0:03:25.760 --> 0:03:29.480
<v Speaker 2>run scoring double is tay Oscar Hernandez. Three doubles in

0:03:29.520 --> 0:03:32.800
<v Speaker 2>a row, two runs in and the Dodgers with a

0:03:32.880 --> 0:03:34.000
<v Speaker 2>five to three lead.

0:03:34.080 --> 0:03:36.440
<v Speaker 5>Us good sign for a lot of different reasons. Last night.

0:03:36.480 --> 0:03:39.360
<v Speaker 5>As we mentioned really in the top of the brouncast,

0:03:40.120 --> 0:03:42.640
<v Speaker 5>it was the first five hitters in the lineup that

0:03:42.760 --> 0:03:45.920
<v Speaker 5>did all the damage last night, and now it's the

0:03:45.960 --> 0:03:48.640
<v Speaker 5>bottom part of the lineup just doing some damage here

0:03:48.880 --> 0:03:50.080
<v Speaker 5>so far in this inning.

0:03:49.880 --> 0:03:52.840
<v Speaker 3>Alone, back to back RBI doubles, we'll call that a

0:03:52.960 --> 0:03:55.560
<v Speaker 3>double double animal style route there for the Dodgers, who

0:03:55.560 --> 0:03:58.280
<v Speaker 3>scored three runs on the three doubles in the fourth inning.

0:03:58.600 --> 0:04:02.600
<v Speaker 3>Dodgers with a five to three lead Freddy Freeman, then

0:04:02.600 --> 0:04:04.680
<v Speaker 3>a sack fly later in the inning that made it

0:04:04.720 --> 0:04:07.560
<v Speaker 3>a six to three Dodgers lead. Yep, they took a

0:04:07.640 --> 0:04:10.160
<v Speaker 3>lead into the fifth. However, a Castro home run made

0:04:10.200 --> 0:04:12.000
<v Speaker 3>it six to four. Freddie Freeman in the top of

0:04:12.040 --> 0:04:15.800
<v Speaker 3>the six added again RBI's singles, scoring Taskar Hernandez. Dodgers

0:04:15.840 --> 0:04:17.920
<v Speaker 3>with a seven to four lead. The Rockies would make

0:04:17.960 --> 0:04:20.680
<v Speaker 3>it interesting, no doubt about that. A RBI single in

0:04:20.680 --> 0:04:22.960
<v Speaker 3>the eighth and RBI single the ninth. They had the

0:04:23.000 --> 0:04:26.000
<v Speaker 3>tie run on base in the ninth inning against Tanner Scott,

0:04:26.040 --> 0:04:29.119
<v Speaker 3>but he closes it out for the four out save.

0:04:29.760 --> 0:04:33.080
<v Speaker 3>Dodgers win it seven to six over the Colorado Rockies

0:04:33.160 --> 0:04:36.000
<v Speaker 3>last night. They improved a seventy six and fifty one

0:04:36.120 --> 0:04:39.320
<v Speaker 3>on this season. How about the Dodgers offense Tasker Hernandez

0:04:39.320 --> 0:04:41.560
<v Speaker 3>had a double of a triple. Tom Y Haven't double twice.

0:04:41.680 --> 0:04:44.680
<v Speaker 3>Dodgers breaking out of their offensive slump in Denver, Dodgers

0:04:44.680 --> 0:04:48.159
<v Speaker 3>have scored well eighteen runs on twenty four hits, with

0:04:48.240 --> 0:04:50.719
<v Speaker 3>four home runs, three of which have come from show

0:04:50.760 --> 0:04:52.640
<v Speaker 3>a Otani in the first two games of the series.

0:04:52.800 --> 0:04:54.960
<v Speaker 3>Think about to the series against Milwaukee, the four game

0:04:55.040 --> 0:04:58.080
<v Speaker 3>set Dodgers scored just to combine ten runs in the

0:04:58.200 --> 0:05:01.560
<v Speaker 3>entire four game series. They've already scored eighteen runs in

0:05:01.600 --> 0:05:03.920
<v Speaker 3>the first two games of this series. Well, the Mile

0:05:04.000 --> 0:05:06.480
<v Speaker 3>Hight Cities where they're out again tonight, game three of

0:05:06.520 --> 0:05:09.040
<v Speaker 3>this three game set. Roki Sasaki on the mound, first

0:05:09.040 --> 0:05:11.000
<v Speaker 3>pitch coming up at five forty with more Let's head

0:05:11.000 --> 0:05:13.120
<v Speaker 3>out to the gallup and four broadcast booth as we

0:05:13.200 --> 0:05:16.279
<v Speaker 3>say hello to Tim Nevertt and Rick Monday. Guys, Tim,

0:05:16.360 --> 0:05:17.080
<v Speaker 3>thanks very much.

0:05:17.080 --> 0:05:19.920
<v Speaker 2>Beautiful night in Denver, no threat of rain. It's just

0:05:19.960 --> 0:05:22.480
<v Speaker 2>going to be another nice evening here at Coors Field

0:05:22.839 --> 0:05:24.960
<v Speaker 2>as the Dodgers take on the Rockies for the third

0:05:24.960 --> 0:05:27.159
<v Speaker 2>game of this three game set and the chance for

0:05:27.240 --> 0:05:30.159
<v Speaker 2>a three game sweep. The Dodgers come in seventy six

0:05:30.200 --> 0:05:33.000
<v Speaker 2>and fifty one, eight games ahead of San Diego. They've

0:05:33.040 --> 0:05:37.040
<v Speaker 2>won thirty of their last thirty seven against Colorado. Meantime,

0:05:37.080 --> 0:05:39.880
<v Speaker 2>the Rockies find themselves twenty five and a half games back,

0:05:40.160 --> 0:05:43.120
<v Speaker 2>with the record of fifty and seventy six and basically

0:05:43.120 --> 0:05:46.200
<v Speaker 2>playing to not lose one hundred this year. Roki Sasaki,

0:05:46.240 --> 0:05:47.800
<v Speaker 2>at five and five with a four to four to

0:05:47.800 --> 0:05:51.440
<v Speaker 2>six ERA, makes the start against Kyle Freeland. Freeland four

0:05:51.480 --> 0:05:54.880
<v Speaker 2>and ten with a six to twenty seven ERA. Despite

0:05:54.880 --> 0:05:57.279
<v Speaker 2>having a four to ten record, he's pitched pretty well lately.

0:05:57.800 --> 0:06:00.840
<v Speaker 2>Sho heil Tani. They ought an in the stadium after

0:06:00.920 --> 0:06:02.520
<v Speaker 2>him here Rick. The way that he plays, I mean,

0:06:02.560 --> 0:06:05.560
<v Speaker 2>he has been unbelievable. He's got a twenty two game

0:06:05.680 --> 0:06:08.440
<v Speaker 2>hitting streak here at Corsfield. It's the third longest ever

0:06:08.839 --> 0:06:10.880
<v Speaker 2>for a visiting player. He's hitting four to zho two

0:06:10.880 --> 0:06:13.960
<v Speaker 2>here during that stretch, twenty six games here overall three

0:06:14.040 --> 0:06:16.599
<v Speaker 2>eighty eight with ten home runs. He's got three home

0:06:16.680 --> 0:06:18.840
<v Speaker 2>runs over the first two games. What hasn't he done

0:06:18.880 --> 0:06:21.160
<v Speaker 2>except he's even thrown a bullpen while he's been.

0:06:21.040 --> 0:06:23.960
<v Speaker 5>Here named after him, the Rocky has liked, having banned

0:06:24.120 --> 0:06:26.720
<v Speaker 5>from coming into the stadium. How about the offense, I mean,

0:06:26.760 --> 0:06:30.280
<v Speaker 5>there two games here, eighteen runs. They've had twenty four hits. Yes,

0:06:30.320 --> 0:06:33.360
<v Speaker 5>they've given up eleven hits in the process, but overall,

0:06:33.760 --> 0:06:35.920
<v Speaker 5>I think we're now beginning to see the Dodger ball

0:06:35.920 --> 0:06:40.080
<v Speaker 5>club from an offensive standpoint. Start to fire on all cylinders.

0:06:40.560 --> 0:06:42.480
<v Speaker 5>The first game of this series, it was the top

0:06:42.560 --> 0:06:44.520
<v Speaker 5>five in the lineup, but we look at last night,

0:06:44.560 --> 0:06:47.360
<v Speaker 5>it was top two bottom in that lineup, and hopefully

0:06:47.400 --> 0:06:48.920
<v Speaker 5>that's going to be a sign of some very good

0:06:48.960 --> 0:06:50.080
<v Speaker 5>things to take place.

0:06:50.120 --> 0:06:50.280
<v Speaker 1>Now.

0:06:50.320 --> 0:06:53.280
<v Speaker 5>This is game number one, twenty eight, the Dodgers in

0:06:53.360 --> 0:06:55.960
<v Speaker 5>search of their seventy seventh victory this year.

0:06:55.880 --> 0:06:58.359
<v Speaker 2>And it's a lineup based on a left handed starter tonight,

0:06:58.400 --> 0:07:00.640
<v Speaker 2>with Andy Pye has moving up to the two bontasker

0:07:00.680 --> 0:07:03.719
<v Speaker 2>Hernandez hitting third, getting the two right handers in between

0:07:03.800 --> 0:07:06.440
<v Speaker 2>Otani and Freeman, then two more right handers in between

0:07:06.480 --> 0:07:10.080
<v Speaker 2>Freeman and Tucker, with Bets and Rojas there. There was

0:07:10.120 --> 0:07:12.600
<v Speaker 2>some thought that maybe Dave Roberts would give Kyle Tucker

0:07:13.120 --> 0:07:15.320
<v Speaker 2>a day off right before the day off tomorrow, but

0:07:15.320 --> 0:07:17.120
<v Speaker 2>he said no, he's in there tonight and he gives

0:07:17.160 --> 0:07:19.080
<v Speaker 2>us the best chance to win. That's what the manager said.

0:07:19.320 --> 0:07:22.440
<v Speaker 5>We saw Tucker very busy this afternoon during banning practice

0:07:22.480 --> 0:07:25.480
<v Speaker 5>taking some extra fly balls as well. One of the

0:07:25.560 --> 0:07:28.160
<v Speaker 5>changes in this lineup, besides you mentioned Rojas, gonna started

0:07:28.200 --> 0:07:31.320
<v Speaker 5>second base. Also, Keiky Hernandez would be at third base

0:07:31.360 --> 0:07:34.160
<v Speaker 5>tonight at least at the beginning against the left handed

0:07:34.200 --> 0:07:36.360
<v Speaker 5>with Freeland and the Dodgers seen him many many times

0:07:36.440 --> 0:07:38.800
<v Speaker 5>twenty eight starts he's at against him in the past,

0:07:39.000 --> 0:07:43.280
<v Speaker 5>so a couple of different faces in this ball game tonight,

0:07:43.320 --> 0:07:45.920
<v Speaker 5>wrote fit behind the plate doing the catching. So it's

0:07:45.960 --> 0:07:49.200
<v Speaker 5>going to be a late night arrival back at Lax tonight.

0:07:49.240 --> 0:07:51.360
<v Speaker 5>By the time the Dodgers either get back to the

0:07:51.400 --> 0:07:53.360
<v Speaker 5>stadium or get home, it's going to be well, not

0:07:53.440 --> 0:07:55.920
<v Speaker 5>quite sunrise, but it's going to be a late night

0:07:56.200 --> 0:07:58.360
<v Speaker 5>off day tomorrow and then back at Harness Friday night

0:07:58.720 --> 0:08:01.360
<v Speaker 5>at Dodger Stadium against the Pittsburgh Pirates.

0:10:39.320 --> 0:10:43.040
<v Speaker 3>That's cars with Okay, all right. The Dodgers have won

0:10:43.080 --> 0:10:44.839
<v Speaker 3>the first two games of this series, going for the

0:10:44.920 --> 0:10:47.280
<v Speaker 3>sweep in the mile highest city. But the lineup looks

0:10:47.280 --> 0:10:50.080
<v Speaker 3>a little different tonight, Kirston it does.

0:10:50.160 --> 0:10:52.480
<v Speaker 6>So the Rockies have a lefty on the mound in

0:10:52.600 --> 0:10:55.160
<v Speaker 6>Kyle Freeland, so Dave Roberts did kind of shake a

0:10:55.200 --> 0:10:57.439
<v Speaker 6>few things up. Plus it's the third game in Denver,

0:10:57.559 --> 0:11:00.880
<v Speaker 6>obviously playing an altitude something we often talk and so

0:11:01.000 --> 0:11:03.080
<v Speaker 6>trying to make sure guys are getting a little time

0:11:03.120 --> 0:11:06.040
<v Speaker 6>off their feet before the off day tomorrow, and of

0:11:06.080 --> 0:11:08.040
<v Speaker 6>course then also be on the back end of thirteen

0:11:08.080 --> 0:11:11.080
<v Speaker 6>in a row. So for today you've got Keithy Hernandez

0:11:11.120 --> 0:11:13.800
<v Speaker 6>was playing at third base. Tommy Edmund is down, so

0:11:13.880 --> 0:11:18.400
<v Speaker 6>that means that Miguel Rojas is playing at second Freddie Freeman.

0:11:18.520 --> 0:11:20.720
<v Speaker 6>Just looking at the lineup, of course he's in the game,

0:11:20.800 --> 0:11:23.840
<v Speaker 6>but he's actually batting fourth tonight, and primarily whenever there's

0:11:23.880 --> 0:11:26.360
<v Speaker 6>bits a left on the mound, we've seen him batting

0:11:26.400 --> 0:11:29.600
<v Speaker 6>third behind Andy Pajas. But Dave Roberts was saying that

0:11:30.000 --> 0:11:32.600
<v Speaker 6>with Freelan, he's talented lefty, they kind of want to

0:11:32.600 --> 0:11:36.040
<v Speaker 6>make it a little bit more tougher on him. Also,

0:11:36.160 --> 0:11:38.320
<v Speaker 6>just kind of looking into the bullpen. He was like,

0:11:38.360 --> 0:11:42.320
<v Speaker 6>I like the idea of forcing just either facing Freddie

0:11:42.360 --> 0:11:45.480
<v Speaker 6>one more time or potentially forcing a change. So that's

0:11:45.520 --> 0:11:47.480
<v Speaker 6>how things are looking. But he really likes where the

0:11:47.480 --> 0:11:50.400
<v Speaker 6>group is at. Offensively. We've seen the top of the

0:11:50.480 --> 0:11:52.120
<v Speaker 6>order get going to the bottom of the order be

0:11:52.160 --> 0:11:54.480
<v Speaker 6>excellent last night, especially with the extra base hits, and

0:11:54.520 --> 0:11:57.800
<v Speaker 6>so now it's just seeing a continuation for them building

0:11:58.160 --> 0:12:00.520
<v Speaker 6>things together with their quality of at bats to hopefully

0:12:00.559 --> 0:12:02.000
<v Speaker 6>bring it home to Los Angeles.

0:12:02.080 --> 0:12:04.880
<v Speaker 3>Collectively they're doing it and individually kind of feel like

0:12:05.000 --> 0:12:07.000
<v Speaker 3>Kyle Tucker's getting back on the right track.

0:12:07.760 --> 0:12:10.440
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, he had a big extra base hit yesterday. And

0:12:10.800 --> 0:12:13.240
<v Speaker 6>Dave Roberts last night, when he was talking about this

0:12:13.320 --> 0:12:16.280
<v Speaker 6>game and guys who would potentially beat down, he said

0:12:16.280 --> 0:12:17.880
<v Speaker 6>he was kind of going back and forth with the

0:12:17.880 --> 0:12:20.080
<v Speaker 6>decision for Kyle Tucker, and he was saying, yes, you

0:12:20.120 --> 0:12:23.480
<v Speaker 6>have the easy decision of you know, sitting him and

0:12:23.559 --> 0:12:26.200
<v Speaker 6>allowing him to kind of get through this on his own,

0:12:26.480 --> 0:12:28.959
<v Speaker 6>or you have the other decision that people probably don't

0:12:29.000 --> 0:12:30.760
<v Speaker 6>that you're going to go to, and that's getting him

0:12:30.760 --> 0:12:32.560
<v Speaker 6>out there and getting him to play and kind of

0:12:32.559 --> 0:12:35.160
<v Speaker 6>play through this. And he said that he liked the

0:12:35.360 --> 0:12:37.720
<v Speaker 6>bad he in general, he liked what he saw yesterday.

0:12:38.040 --> 0:12:40.720
<v Speaker 6>He likes how you know, Kyle. As much as there

0:12:40.760 --> 0:12:43.080
<v Speaker 6>are times where it's can be frustrating for him and

0:12:43.120 --> 0:12:46.080
<v Speaker 6>things can be compounding, he is mentally in a good

0:12:46.080 --> 0:12:48.160
<v Speaker 6>spot and so Dave roberts side, he wanted to have

0:12:48.240 --> 0:12:50.880
<v Speaker 6>him out there today and even this afternoon he was

0:12:50.880 --> 0:12:53.360
<v Speaker 6>actually out here doing early work with you know, evils

0:12:53.360 --> 0:12:56.960
<v Speaker 6>of taking some flyballs. This obviously is a massive outfield

0:12:57.040 --> 0:12:59.680
<v Speaker 6>and so just whether it's just reading it off the bat,

0:13:00.000 --> 0:13:03.120
<v Speaker 6>making that first step, he was clearly working on through

0:13:03.160 --> 0:13:06.600
<v Speaker 6>things and just showing how, you know, just like all

0:13:06.640 --> 0:13:10.040
<v Speaker 6>of these guys, they've recognized it's a very long baseball season.

0:13:10.120 --> 0:13:13.120
<v Speaker 6>One sixty two is no easy feat plus spring training

0:13:13.120 --> 0:13:15.120
<v Speaker 6>that of course all of October because of the goals

0:13:15.120 --> 0:13:17.760
<v Speaker 6>that this team has and the achievements that they've already done.

0:13:18.000 --> 0:13:20.200
<v Speaker 6>So it's about how you show.

0:13:20.120 --> 0:13:21.120
<v Speaker 1>Up every single day.

0:13:21.280 --> 0:13:23.640
<v Speaker 6>And I think this was a good sign of just

0:13:23.720 --> 0:13:25.959
<v Speaker 6>how he is showing up and how he is feeling

0:13:26.160 --> 0:13:28.040
<v Speaker 6>in the support that he's getting not only from his

0:13:28.040 --> 0:13:30.400
<v Speaker 6>teammates but also the coaching staff that want to help him,

0:13:30.440 --> 0:13:32.319
<v Speaker 6>which I think was a really nice thing to see, no.

0:13:32.320 --> 0:13:34.640
<v Speaker 3>Doubt about it. Get him back on track mentally and

0:13:34.720 --> 0:13:37.040
<v Speaker 3>physically in the box, and this will be a Dodger

0:13:37.080 --> 0:13:39.120
<v Speaker 3>team that's going to be hard to beat. Came here

0:13:39.120 --> 0:13:41.560
<v Speaker 3>in September on October here, so we appreciate it. We

0:13:41.600 --> 0:13:43.360

<v Speaker 3>It's the Dodgers and the Rockies, Rookie Sasaki Kyle Freeland

0:17:41.840 --> 0:17:43.640
<v Speaker 4>I accept everybody for who they are.

0:17:43.720 --> 0:17:47.200
<v Speaker 1>This is Dodger insider David Base.

0:17:47.200 --> 0:17:50.760
<v Speaker 3>All Right, David, Kyle Tucker struggles well documented, but last

0:17:50.840 --> 0:17:53.359
<v Speaker 3>night maybe got back on track with that RBI double.

0:17:53.600 --> 0:17:55.240
<v Speaker 3>How's he doing at the plate? How's he dealing with

0:17:55.240 --> 0:17:55.880
<v Speaker 3>his routine?

0:17:57.040 --> 0:18:00.359
<v Speaker 4>Well, one thing that we've suggested and everybody, he's a

0:18:00.400 --> 0:18:02.840
<v Speaker 4>hitting coach at this point when you have struggles like

0:18:02.920 --> 0:18:06.199
<v Speaker 4>Kyle Tucker's had this season. But I know for a

0:18:06.320 --> 0:18:10.040
<v Speaker 4>fact that Sho Hail Tawny and Freddie Freeman when they're struggling,

0:18:10.240 --> 0:18:13.040
<v Speaker 4>they're guys that like to hit inside in the cage,

0:18:13.080 --> 0:18:16.520
<v Speaker 4>but when they feel they need to change the routine,

0:18:16.800 --> 0:18:19.320
<v Speaker 4>they come out and take betting practice on the field.

0:18:19.359 --> 0:18:22.760
<v Speaker 4>And I thought today we may see that with Kyle Tucker,

0:18:22.880 --> 0:18:26.600
<v Speaker 4>because his routine is to hit inside and the first

0:18:26.600 --> 0:18:29.439
<v Speaker 4>game of every series, come out in right field and

0:18:29.520 --> 0:18:32.760
<v Speaker 4>shag during betting practice. He did that the first day

0:18:32.800 --> 0:18:35.840
<v Speaker 4>in Denver. But today we saw something that we don't

0:18:35.880 --> 0:18:39.640
<v Speaker 4>normally see Kyle Tucker do the final game of this series,

0:18:39.800 --> 0:18:42.399
<v Speaker 4>go back out to right field and do the same

0:18:42.440 --> 0:18:45.840
<v Speaker 4>thing that he does during the first game of every series.

0:18:46.000 --> 0:18:50.120
<v Speaker 4>But Tucker ran out from right field once the round

0:18:50.119 --> 0:18:55.000
<v Speaker 4>of BP was over and went back inside to hit inside,

0:18:55.000 --> 0:18:58.439
<v Speaker 4>and you know, he runs off the field, so I

0:18:58.520 --> 0:19:01.080
<v Speaker 4>walk with him back to the club and try to

0:19:01.119 --> 0:19:03.960
<v Speaker 4>gauge his temperature. He was in good spirits and obviously

0:19:04.000 --> 0:19:06.880
<v Speaker 4>a little self deprecating as well as we were talking

0:19:07.240 --> 0:19:10.560
<v Speaker 4>going back to the clubhouse. But Dave Roberts told me

0:19:10.640 --> 0:19:14.480
<v Speaker 4>earlier today they just got to keep stacking chips.

0:19:14.359 --> 0:19:15.760
<v Speaker 3>With Kyle Tucker.

0:19:15.800 --> 0:19:18.639
<v Speaker 4>And look, Tucker had a double inside the first baseline

0:19:18.640 --> 0:19:21.280
<v Speaker 4>at eighty five miles an hour. He joked with me

0:19:21.400 --> 0:19:24.320
<v Speaker 4>that he needed a little something extra on that. So

0:19:24.359 --> 0:19:26.520
<v Speaker 4>he knows all this stuff. He just has got to

0:19:26.560 --> 0:19:27.720
<v Speaker 4>find a way to work it out.

0:19:28.040 --> 0:19:30.200
<v Speaker 3>David is brought to my Ford Summer Sales event. Don't wait,

0:19:30.280 --> 0:19:31.920

<v Speaker 3>Major League Baseball. Hunter Ferdusia. How's he feeling, David.

0:19:41.600 --> 0:19:44.000
<v Speaker 4>Hunter Ferdusia is still not feeling great. Look a little

0:19:44.040 --> 0:19:46.480
<v Speaker 4>pale today. Tim When I saw him in the clubhouse

0:19:46.520 --> 0:19:50.240
<v Speaker 4>and Tommy Edmund, I found out is under the weather

0:19:50.359 --> 0:19:53.679
<v Speaker 4>as well. So Tommy Edmund was our guest on the

0:19:53.720 --> 0:19:57.800
<v Speaker 4>pregame show yesterday. So I helped myself to some chlorox

0:19:57.880 --> 0:20:01.720
<v Speaker 4>wipes and wipe down my microphone today. So hopefully Tommy

0:20:01.880 --> 0:20:04.960
<v Speaker 4>Edman is feeling better on the way home back to LA.

0:20:05.040 --> 0:20:08.320
<v Speaker 4>But yeah, I think Tommy Edman caught whatever Hunter Fadusha

0:20:08.400 --> 0:20:10.879
<v Speaker 4>has and Tanner Scott and Emma Sheen were trying to

0:20:10.880 --> 0:20:12.919
<v Speaker 4>get in my head tim and said they want me

0:20:12.960 --> 0:20:14.960
<v Speaker 4>to stay away from them because I might have got

0:20:14.960 --> 0:20:16.720
<v Speaker 4>it as well. But I said, hey, I feel great,

0:20:16.920 --> 0:20:20.000
<v Speaker 4>there's no issues here. Have those floorox wipes and they

0:20:20.000 --> 0:20:22.199
<v Speaker 4>said it kills ninety nine percent of the germs. I

0:20:22.240 --> 0:20:23.119
<v Speaker 4>got the one percent.

0:20:23.359 --> 0:20:24.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I've gotta get some of those kits that Dave

0:20:25.000 --> 0:20:27.320
<v Speaker 3>Roberts is talking about all the time, those wellnesses. Kay,

0:20:27.400 --> 0:20:29.720
<v Speaker 3>there we go, Yeah, no doubt. And he had a

0:20:29.760 --> 0:20:31.679
<v Speaker 3>little adventure today, Dave outside of Denver.

0:20:32.800 --> 0:20:33.040
<v Speaker 8>Yeah.

0:20:33.240 --> 0:20:37.000
<v Speaker 4>Our director of travel, Scott Akasaki, put together a small

0:20:37.040 --> 0:20:40.560
<v Speaker 4>group of staff members and invited some players to go

0:20:40.680 --> 0:20:44.280
<v Speaker 4>to Broncos camp. We got to see their brand new facility,

0:20:44.320 --> 0:20:47.120
<v Speaker 4>and Evan Phillips was the only player to take them

0:20:47.160 --> 0:20:49.040
<v Speaker 4>up on the offers. So went out there with Evan

0:20:49.119 --> 0:20:52.920
<v Speaker 4>Phillips and it's so interesting to see one professional athlete

0:20:53.280 --> 0:20:56.720
<v Speaker 4>and the way he reacts when he sees another professional,

0:20:56.960 --> 0:21:00.240
<v Speaker 4>you know, organization in a different league. And the way

0:21:00.240 --> 0:21:03.439
<v Speaker 4>he was examining things was examining the size of the

0:21:03.440 --> 0:21:08.840
<v Speaker 4>Broncos new locker rooms, new training rooms, new recovery rooms.

0:21:08.880 --> 0:21:12.000
<v Speaker 4>So it's interesting to get a peek inside the mind

0:21:12.200 --> 0:21:15.800
<v Speaker 4>of a professional athlete and how they compare Major League

0:21:15.840 --> 0:21:20.199
<v Speaker 4>Baseball amenities and training rooms and weight rooms compared to

0:21:20.240 --> 0:21:23.240
<v Speaker 4>the NFL. But it is it's a brand new facility,

0:21:23.280 --> 0:21:25.800
<v Speaker 4>and the Broncos were out there getting ready for their

0:21:26.480 --> 0:21:30.120
<v Speaker 4>last preseason game, and it was it was pretty spectacular.

0:21:30.160 --> 0:21:32.440
<v Speaker 4>I gotta say I'm not easily impressed, but I.

0:21:32.560 --> 0:21:34.600
<v Speaker 3>Was very cool. All right, dB, I'll check back you

0:21:34.600 --> 0:21:35.800
<v Speaker 3>with you just a little bit, and it's gonna go

0:21:35.800 --> 0:21:37.719
<v Speaker 3>one on one with the manager Dave Roberts coming up

0:21:37.800 --> 0:21:40.640
<v Speaker 3>in about fifteen minutes. Still to come. No, we'll dive

0:21:40.640 --> 0:21:42.919
<v Speaker 3>deeper this pitching matchup. But I'm next to Dodgers' magical

0:21:42.920 --> 0:21:45.200
<v Speaker 3>moment Dodgers and Rockies. I'm Tim Kas's the back to

0:21:45.240 --> 0:21:47.880
<v Speaker 3>back World Series champion Dodgers Audio nowork.

0:21:50.840 --> 0:21:56.320
<v Speaker 1>Well, this is Morongo Casino Dodgers hunting on your home

0:21:56.359 --> 0:21:58.879
<v Speaker 1>for La Dodgers Baseball.

0:21:59.320 --> 0:22:02.520
<v Speaker 3>Dodgers and the Rockies one final time from Denver. Dodgers

0:22:02.520 --> 0:22:04.960
<v Speaker 3>going for the sweep with rookie Sasaki on the mound,

0:22:04.960 --> 0:22:07.360
<v Speaker 3>first pitch coming up at five forty.

0:22:09.960 --> 0:22:14.200
<v Speaker 1>A hot dog who wants a hot God. It's time

0:22:14.320 --> 0:22:20.480
<v Speaker 1>for the hawfe magical moment, ditch magical hawby hot Dogs.

0:22:20.480 --> 0:22:23.240
<v Speaker 3>Well, Dodgers taking on the Rockies. Go back to twenty

0:22:23.320 --> 0:22:26.040
<v Speaker 3>and eighteen. Yes, the Dodgers and Rockies had to play

0:22:26.040 --> 0:22:29.240
<v Speaker 3>a game one sixty three because they were tied in

0:22:29.320 --> 0:22:33.360
<v Speaker 3>the standing. So on October first, twenty eighteen, at Dodgers Stadium,

0:22:33.359 --> 0:22:36.920
<v Speaker 3>they played a game one sixty three, a game in

0:22:36.960 --> 0:22:41.520
<v Speaker 3>which Walker Bueller, a rookie, was absolutely dazzling to.

0:22:41.720 --> 0:22:43.399
<v Speaker 8>Out top half of the ninth pinning.

0:22:45.960 --> 0:22:49.720
<v Speaker 9>Oh and two para, twun on and miss strike three

0:22:50.480 --> 0:22:55.200
<v Speaker 9>Champions strikes out para and for the sixth consecutive season,

0:22:55.680 --> 0:23:00.159
<v Speaker 9>the Dodgers are the best in the West. As they

0:23:00.240 --> 0:23:04.280
<v Speaker 9>come storming out of the dugout, congratulating one another on

0:23:04.520 --> 0:23:08.240
<v Speaker 9>top of the hill, and that is where the Dodgers reside,

0:23:08.560 --> 0:23:13.000
<v Speaker 9>champions of the National League Western Division, finishing the year

0:23:13.200 --> 0:23:17.080
<v Speaker 9>at ninety two and seventy one. The Rockies finished the

0:23:17.160 --> 0:23:21.520
<v Speaker 9>year at ninety one and seventy two, the best in

0:23:21.600 --> 0:23:22.119
<v Speaker 9>the West.

0:23:22.359 --> 0:23:27.680
<v Speaker 3>Yet again, Walker Buehler was fantastic. The Dodgers offense led

0:23:27.680 --> 0:23:29.560
<v Speaker 3>by Cody Bellinger, who hit a two run home run

0:23:29.600 --> 0:23:31.479
<v Speaker 3>in the fourth. Max Monsey smashed the two run home

0:23:31.560 --> 0:23:33.840
<v Speaker 3>run in the fifth. Kille Jansen gave up home runs

0:23:33.840 --> 0:23:36.840
<v Speaker 3>of the ninth, but the Rockies rally fell short. Dodgers

0:23:37.000 --> 0:23:39.600
<v Speaker 3>won the game one sixty three back in October first,

0:23:39.600 --> 0:23:41.840
<v Speaker 3>twenty eighteen by a final of five to two. The

<v Speaker 3>welcome in Charlie Steiner.

0:24:28.920 --> 0:24:31.359
<v Speaker 10>All right, Tim, get away day and night for the

0:24:31.440 --> 0:24:35.360
<v Speaker 10>Dodgers looking for a clean three games sweep from the Rockies.

0:24:35.760 --> 0:24:38.760
<v Speaker 10>This is game one hundred and twenty seven, thirty six

0:24:38.840 --> 0:24:41.880
<v Speaker 10>games and thirty nine days remain in the regular season.

0:24:42.280 --> 0:24:44.680
<v Speaker 10>You know more, when folks get run down, they want

0:24:44.720 --> 0:24:47.000
<v Speaker 10>to get away for a while. They head up to

0:24:47.040 --> 0:24:50.679
<v Speaker 10>the mountains to rejuvenate their batteries. And that's what the

0:24:50.720 --> 0:24:53.320
<v Speaker 10>Dodgers did and have done in the first two games

0:24:53.320 --> 0:24:54.080
<v Speaker 10>of this series.

0:24:55.320 --> 0:24:57.399
<v Speaker 5>I thought I was listening to an infomercial there for

0:24:57.400 --> 0:25:00.880
<v Speaker 5>a moment about the heads of the hills. The Dodgers,

0:25:01.080 --> 0:25:05.800
<v Speaker 5>fortunately have withstood the altitude up here. We'll see about

0:25:05.840 --> 0:25:08.359
<v Speaker 5>Sasaki tonight, who came in later. They're trying to suck

0:25:08.440 --> 0:25:12.359
<v Speaker 5>well a new view on maybe dealing with altitude. But

0:25:12.880 --> 0:25:15.440
<v Speaker 5>be that as a make Yeah, the Dodgers a nice

0:25:15.480 --> 0:25:18.679
<v Speaker 5>respite up here. They've played obviously, well, not just this

0:25:18.800 --> 0:25:21.720
<v Speaker 5>year against the Rockies, where they've won nine of the twelve,

0:25:22.359 --> 0:25:25.080
<v Speaker 5>but I mean you go back since twenty eighteen, they've

0:25:25.080 --> 0:25:28.440
<v Speaker 5>gone ninety nine and thirty nine. Yeah, this place can

0:25:28.480 --> 0:25:30.959
<v Speaker 5>be fun at times, it could be a nightmare at

0:25:31.000 --> 0:25:34.800
<v Speaker 5>other times. And for the Dodgers, they finally look like now, Charlie,

0:25:34.880 --> 0:25:37.600
<v Speaker 5>that they have found themselves and going back into the

0:25:37.640 --> 0:25:40.480
<v Speaker 5>Dodger mode instead of that motive. Who are these guys?

0:25:40.720 --> 0:25:44.600
<v Speaker 10>They outscored Colorado eleven to five in Game one, seven

0:25:44.640 --> 0:25:48.800
<v Speaker 10>to six last night. In the two games, twenty four hits,

0:25:49.080 --> 0:25:52.280
<v Speaker 10>thirteen extra base hits, five home runs, eight doubles in

0:25:52.320 --> 0:25:55.480
<v Speaker 10>a triple. As a team, they're hitting three four and

0:25:55.760 --> 0:25:59.000
<v Speaker 10>going back to June first of twenty twenty four, the

0:25:59.040 --> 0:26:02.840
<v Speaker 10>Dodgers have won of their last thirty seven against the Rockies.

0:26:03.520 --> 0:26:06.680
<v Speaker 10>Before we get to Sasaki, let's look back at another

0:26:06.880 --> 0:26:08.840
<v Speaker 10>terrific performance by Eric Lower.

0:26:09.560 --> 0:26:11.879
<v Speaker 5>He just gives the ball club opportunities to win. I

0:26:11.960 --> 0:26:14.600
<v Speaker 5>know I use that term quite often, but that's what

0:26:14.840 --> 0:26:17.919
<v Speaker 5>it is. When your starting pitcher takes the mound and

0:26:18.040 --> 0:26:21.080
<v Speaker 5>gives your team an opportunity to score it. In other words,

0:26:21.119 --> 0:26:24.040
<v Speaker 5>that they're not getting whitewashed to begin with. In down

0:26:24.160 --> 0:26:26.639
<v Speaker 5>six to nothing, you're seven to two, very early in

0:26:26.680 --> 0:26:30.080
<v Speaker 5>the ball game. So Lower went five innings very serviceable. Yes,

0:26:30.160 --> 0:26:33.119
<v Speaker 5>he gave up four runs, only six hits, and struck

0:26:33.160 --> 0:26:35.400
<v Speaker 5>out six. So it's Dodger bulk club. I think responds

0:26:35.440 --> 0:26:38.160
<v Speaker 5>too from a standpoint is that they understand now they're

0:26:38.200 --> 0:26:41.000
<v Speaker 5>starting pitching, when they take the mound, they have a

0:26:41.080 --> 0:26:43.320
<v Speaker 5>job to do, and they're really doing a good job.

0:26:43.720 --> 0:26:47.840
<v Speaker 10>When Lower starts, the Dodgers are eleven and one. Personally

0:26:47.920 --> 0:26:51.040
<v Speaker 10>he is seven and one, and the bullpen came in

0:26:51.119 --> 0:26:54.520
<v Speaker 10>did the job. Now we're not comparing the Colorado Rockies

0:26:54.520 --> 0:26:57.520
<v Speaker 10>to the Milwaukee Brewers, but they did what they had

0:26:57.560 --> 0:27:00.639
<v Speaker 10>to do, and tonight Roki Sasaki gets to start.

0:27:01.000 --> 0:27:03.760
<v Speaker 1>He came in the night before trying.

0:27:03.440 --> 0:27:06.840
<v Speaker 10>To figure out what's best to come into Colorado with

0:27:06.960 --> 0:27:10.119
<v Speaker 10>the altitude, to come in early and get adjusted, or

0:27:10.119 --> 0:27:12.639
<v Speaker 10>do you come in very late and just go at it.

0:27:12.800 --> 0:27:15.439
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, the doctors Charlie did some more research and they

0:27:15.480 --> 0:27:17.000
<v Speaker 5>in the students said hey, we're going to give this

0:27:17.040 --> 0:27:19.320
<v Speaker 5>a go. As some experts were saying, look, don't come

0:27:19.359 --> 0:27:23.040
<v Speaker 5>in three days before you're going to perform at the

0:27:23.040 --> 0:27:25.880
<v Speaker 5>altitude made the both you. So we'll find out what happens.

0:27:26.000 --> 0:27:29.080
<v Speaker 5>You know, for Susaki, he's got back to the kind

0:27:29.080 --> 0:27:31.119
<v Speaker 5>of sea level as far as what he's done, because

0:27:31.160 --> 0:27:33.359
<v Speaker 5>prior to the All Star Break he was three and

0:27:33.480 --> 0:27:36.080
<v Speaker 5>five with an ERA of over five and a quarter. Well,

0:27:36.560 --> 0:27:39.280
<v Speaker 5>now in the five games after the All Star Break,

0:27:39.680 --> 0:27:42.160
<v Speaker 5>not only is he two to oh, his ER now

0:27:42.560 --> 0:27:44.760
<v Speaker 5>is just two point one in that period of time.

0:27:45.040 --> 0:27:47.600
<v Speaker 10>What's interesting, I go back a million years ago when

0:27:47.600 --> 0:27:52.199
<v Speaker 10>I was broadcasting for the Jets and flying into Denver

0:27:52.320 --> 0:27:56.080
<v Speaker 10>to play the Broncos. The Jets decided they would leave

0:27:56.160 --> 0:28:00.199
<v Speaker 10>instead of Friday night, they would leave Wednesday afternoon, and

0:28:00.280 --> 0:28:03.520
<v Speaker 10>so for three days it would get adjusted to the altitude.

0:28:03.680 --> 0:28:05.760
<v Speaker 10>I can't tell you if they won or lost, because

0:28:05.760 --> 0:28:08.639
<v Speaker 10>in those days, the odds are they didn't win, but

0:28:09.119 --> 0:28:12.840
<v Speaker 10>it was one of those thoughts that they had. Let's

0:28:12.880 --> 0:28:14.800
<v Speaker 10>try it this way. We'll see how it works for

0:28:14.960 --> 0:28:19.880
<v Speaker 10>Sasaki tonight. Kyle Freelan four and ten on the year,

0:28:20.280 --> 0:28:23.280
<v Speaker 10>he enters the game right one hundredth out of one

0:28:23.400 --> 0:28:26.720
<v Speaker 10>hundred and one major league starting pitchers with at least

0:28:26.760 --> 0:28:31.879
<v Speaker 10>one hundred innings with an ERA of six twenty seven.

0:28:32.119 --> 0:28:34.119
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, but he's also one of those guys too, Charlie.

0:28:34.160 --> 0:28:35.800
<v Speaker 5>Look at what he's done the three starts in the

0:28:35.840 --> 0:28:38.720
<v Speaker 5>month of August. He's appeared to be a different guy.

0:28:38.760 --> 0:28:40.760
<v Speaker 5>Why well, he's two and zero in those three starts

0:28:40.800 --> 0:28:44.840
<v Speaker 5>with an ERA of just one twenty seven. So he

0:28:44.920 --> 0:28:48.640
<v Speaker 5>has turned things around. He's run into problems against the Dodgers,

0:28:48.680 --> 0:28:50.960
<v Speaker 5>you know, twenty eight starts in his careers five and

0:28:51.040 --> 0:28:53.760
<v Speaker 5>thirteen with an ERA of almost five and a quarter

0:28:53.840 --> 0:28:56.080
<v Speaker 5>against them. But he's on the roll right now. The

0:28:56.160 --> 0:28:57.400
<v Speaker 5>last three audience.

0:28:57.400 --> 0:29:01.160
<v Speaker 10>As a Dodgers get ready to play the Colorado Rockies.

0:29:01.160 --> 0:29:04.800
<v Speaker 10>Of course, they dominated them through the years. Last night

0:29:05.000 --> 0:29:09.600
<v Speaker 10>Milwaukee pounded Seattle twenty two to nothing. They host the

0:29:09.600 --> 0:29:14.360
<v Speaker 10>Mariners tonight, and this same afternoon the Twins beat the

0:29:14.400 --> 0:29:18.600
<v Speaker 10>Braves again. So the Braves now they're about two games

0:29:18.600 --> 0:29:21.320
<v Speaker 10>behind the Dodgers. The Dodgers are two and a half

0:29:21.360 --> 0:29:24.600
<v Speaker 10>behind Milwaukee. Two of those three teams will get a

0:29:24.680 --> 0:29:27.120
<v Speaker 10>buy in the first round. At the moment, it is

0:29:27.160 --> 0:29:30.680
<v Speaker 10>the Braves who are the last men's stand. Time will

0:29:30.720 --> 0:29:33.760
<v Speaker 10>tell over the next six weeks or so. Lineups at

0:29:33.760 --> 0:29:34.920
<v Speaker 10>first pitch coming.

<v Speaker 1>from a Dodger player.

0:30:30.320 --> 0:30:31.560
<v Speaker 3>It's an engagement of endearment.

0:30:31.600 --> 0:30:33.480
<v Speaker 1>This is high and tight.

0:30:34.520 --> 0:30:37.560
<v Speaker 4>The Dodgers are wrapping up thirteen straight games in a row,

0:30:37.640 --> 0:30:41.000
<v Speaker 4>and it's time now for the Managers Meeting taking place today,

0:30:41.040 --> 0:30:44.680
<v Speaker 4>presented by Downy Hunday with the one and only Dave Roberts. Dave,

0:30:44.960 --> 0:30:47.120
<v Speaker 4>thanks a lot for the time, Appreciate.

0:30:46.600 --> 0:30:49.480
<v Speaker 8>It, Dave. Good to sit with you and chat. You know,

0:30:49.560 --> 0:30:51.880
<v Speaker 8>coming off a couple wins here in Denver, so in

0:30:52.040 --> 0:30:55.120
<v Speaker 8>good in a good place right now. Offense is kind

0:30:55.120 --> 0:30:58.720
<v Speaker 8>of rebounded, pitching has been good, so you know, want

0:30:58.720 --> 0:30:59.880
<v Speaker 8>to close these guys out.

0:31:00.240 --> 0:31:02.280
<v Speaker 4>Just to get the pulse of you and the team

0:31:03.040 --> 0:31:05.800
<v Speaker 4>after a couple of games here in Denver, what are

0:31:05.840 --> 0:31:08.520
<v Speaker 4>the vibes? Are you convinced things are going in the

0:31:08.600 --> 0:31:09.200
<v Speaker 4>right direction?

0:31:09.720 --> 0:31:14.360
<v Speaker 8>I am, you know, I'm not totally still appreciating results matter,

0:31:15.280 --> 0:31:17.160
<v Speaker 8>just kind of how we've gone about things the last

0:31:17.160 --> 0:31:19.400
<v Speaker 8>couple of days. You know, I think the team at

0:31:19.480 --> 0:31:22.280
<v Speaker 8>bats and what I mean by that is, you know,

0:31:22.520 --> 0:31:26.440
<v Speaker 8>swinging of strikes, taking balls, our swing percentage is lower,

0:31:26.440 --> 0:31:29.640
<v Speaker 8>our chase rate is lower, and then the production's gone up.

0:31:29.680 --> 0:31:31.600
<v Speaker 8>And I can see that from everyone in the lineup.

0:31:31.680 --> 0:31:34.680
<v Speaker 8>So that's something to bet on going forward. So yeah,

0:31:34.840 --> 0:31:36.880
<v Speaker 8>I think that we stacked a couple of days together

0:31:37.000 --> 0:31:39.200
<v Speaker 8>and just kind of the vibe right now, guys are

0:31:39.200 --> 0:31:42.400
<v Speaker 8>feeling good. They're looking forward to that off day coming

0:31:42.480 --> 0:31:45.400
<v Speaker 8>up tomorrow, and then we've got another one on Monday,

0:31:45.520 --> 0:31:47.400
<v Speaker 8>So you know, guys are in a good spot.

0:31:47.760 --> 0:31:50.240
<v Speaker 4>Dave, You've taught us a lot over the years, But

0:31:50.360 --> 0:31:53.480
<v Speaker 4>the one thing that stands out to me is how

0:31:53.560 --> 0:31:57.600
<v Speaker 4>you've talked about earning good counts, which in turn has

0:31:57.680 --> 0:32:02.040
<v Speaker 4>good results. Where does that come from individually and collectively?

0:32:02.600 --> 0:32:05.560
<v Speaker 8>Well, I think first it is collectively in the sense

0:32:05.600 --> 0:32:10.040
<v Speaker 8>of really understanding that that philosophy and buying into it,

0:32:10.320 --> 0:32:13.960
<v Speaker 8>and then individually just understanding that, yeah, you get four

0:32:14.000 --> 0:32:17.280
<v Speaker 8>balls for a walk, three balls for a strikeout, but

0:32:17.360 --> 0:32:21.360
<v Speaker 8>they're all valuable, right, and so that dictates what a

0:32:21.360 --> 0:32:23.160
<v Speaker 8>pitcher is going to do, what he can do, what

0:32:23.200 --> 0:32:25.320
<v Speaker 8>he can't do, and so you know, you take that

0:32:25.360 --> 0:32:28.320
<v Speaker 8>first pitch slider off, you're one to know you've earned

0:32:28.720 --> 0:32:31.040
<v Speaker 8>a better opportunity where that they want to be too

0:32:31.120 --> 0:32:34.440
<v Speaker 8>fine again and nibble, then you could be too to zero.

0:32:34.560 --> 0:32:36.960
<v Speaker 8>And so those are things that I think that you

0:32:37.040 --> 0:32:40.040
<v Speaker 8>continue to earn good counts and then you look at

0:32:39.800 --> 0:32:42.520
<v Speaker 8>the body of work, then you look at your in

0:32:42.560 --> 0:32:44.840
<v Speaker 8>good counts, and then you have more production.

0:32:45.040 --> 0:32:47.479
<v Speaker 4>Since you took over. I remember being next to your

0:32:47.560 --> 0:32:50.720
<v Speaker 4>dugout and those group of players and yourself would always

0:32:50.760 --> 0:32:53.080
<v Speaker 4>be screaming at the hitter at the plate, keep going,

0:32:53.200 --> 0:32:56.480
<v Speaker 4>keep going. Do you feel like that's the identity you

0:32:56.600 --> 0:32:57.720
<v Speaker 4>have to rediscover?

0:32:58.440 --> 0:33:01.680
<v Speaker 8>I do, you know, and have it as part of

0:33:01.680 --> 0:33:04.440
<v Speaker 8>our DNA. But I think sometimes in a one sixty

0:33:04.480 --> 0:33:07.120
<v Speaker 8>two marathon, you know, it's a grind, and every hitter

0:33:07.120 --> 0:33:09.440
<v Speaker 8>will say that. Then it gets kind of lost a

0:33:09.440 --> 0:33:11.280
<v Speaker 8>little bit, and you got to kind of bring that

0:33:11.320 --> 0:33:13.960
<v Speaker 8>to the forefront. And yeah, you could be O two

0:33:14.160 --> 0:33:16.200
<v Speaker 8>and you know, you win a pitch right there, you

0:33:16.280 --> 0:33:19.040
<v Speaker 8>get back to one, two, and you just keep going

0:33:19.280 --> 0:33:21.840
<v Speaker 8>and you you know, in Max months he did it

0:33:21.880 --> 0:33:23.960
<v Speaker 8>a couple of nights ago where he was O two

0:33:24.080 --> 0:33:27.080
<v Speaker 8>and one, a couple pitches, got back to two to two,

0:33:27.200 --> 0:33:29.760
<v Speaker 8>spoiled a two to two inside heater, and then got

0:33:29.800 --> 0:33:32.280
<v Speaker 8>to three. Then the next pitch was a homer. You know.

0:33:32.400 --> 0:33:35.080
<v Speaker 8>So those are things that you keep fighting, you keep going,

0:33:35.120 --> 0:33:37.360
<v Speaker 8>and not just just wave the white flag.

0:33:37.880 --> 0:33:41.360
<v Speaker 4>Dave your Best Player show. Hey Otani told me last night, Yes,

0:33:41.440 --> 0:33:43.560
<v Speaker 4>it was nice to hit his thirtieth home run of

0:33:43.560 --> 0:33:46.120
<v Speaker 4>the year, but he was lamenting the fact that his

0:33:46.200 --> 0:33:49.440
<v Speaker 4>other at bats he wasn't able to drive in runs

0:33:49.440 --> 0:33:53.320
<v Speaker 4>in those situations. Is that a good feeling, a good

0:33:53.360 --> 0:33:54.959
<v Speaker 4>tone setter from the best player?

0:33:55.200 --> 0:33:58.200
<v Speaker 8>It is? It is, And I think that everyone praises

0:33:58.240 --> 0:34:00.600
<v Speaker 8>the homer and the things that you can kind to see,

0:34:00.640 --> 0:34:03.280
<v Speaker 8>but you know, not getting a guy in from third base,

0:34:03.360 --> 0:34:05.320
<v Speaker 8>not getting a guy over second base, those are things

0:34:05.320 --> 0:34:08.160
<v Speaker 8>when you have great players that lament, as you said,

0:34:08.560 --> 0:34:11.719
<v Speaker 8>you know value those things, and you know that's when

0:34:11.719 --> 0:34:14.600
<v Speaker 8>you have a championship culture, and you know, to hear

0:34:14.680 --> 0:34:18.319
<v Speaker 8>Showey say that, that kind of that gives me goosebumps.

0:34:18.600 --> 0:34:19.160
<v Speaker 8>I love it.

0:34:19.280 --> 0:34:22.319
<v Speaker 4>Dave Roberts with goosebumps here. I got another question for

0:34:22.400 --> 0:34:24.920
<v Speaker 4>Otani in last night. I asked him whether or not

0:34:24.960 --> 0:34:28.680
<v Speaker 4>he's paying attention to what PCA is doing in Chicago.

0:34:29.160 --> 0:34:30.000
<v Speaker 2>He would not.

0:34:30.080 --> 0:34:32.880
<v Speaker 4>Concede that he is. But how much do you believe

0:34:33.239 --> 0:34:36.359
<v Speaker 4>the MVP and the way PCA is pushing him this

0:34:36.440 --> 0:34:39.080
<v Speaker 4>year is a factor going down the stretch.

0:34:39.520 --> 0:34:41.120
<v Speaker 8>You know, Show He's always going to want to be

0:34:41.200 --> 0:34:45.239
<v Speaker 8>his best version right and realize whatever expectation he has

0:34:45.280 --> 0:34:48.800
<v Speaker 8>for himself. But obviously I think he's a very smart

0:34:48.800 --> 0:34:51.400
<v Speaker 8>in tune player that it's hard not to ignore that,

0:34:51.520 --> 0:34:53.840
<v Speaker 8>and you know, you only get so many chances to

0:34:53.840 --> 0:34:56.319
<v Speaker 8>be an MVP, and obviously he's done it, you know,

0:34:56.400 --> 0:34:58.960
<v Speaker 8>many times over. But you know, you got another guy

0:34:59.080 --> 0:35:01.920
<v Speaker 8>making some noise. I'm certain he's aware of it, but

0:35:02.440 --> 0:35:05.960
<v Speaker 8>it certainly doesn't play into is every at that kind

0:35:06.000 --> 0:35:09.439
<v Speaker 8>of mindset? But I'm glad it's funny that he played

0:35:09.440 --> 0:35:10.040
<v Speaker 8>a little koy.

0:35:10.840 --> 0:35:13.600
<v Speaker 4>What about the pitching side of it? Everybody keeps debating

0:35:13.760 --> 0:35:18.520
<v Speaker 4>PCA's defense and Otani's fourteen starts this year. Where are

0:35:18.560 --> 0:35:21.120
<v Speaker 4>we with the possibility of Otani returning.

0:35:21.400 --> 0:35:24.520
<v Speaker 8>Well, he's had two good bullpen sessions right around thirty

0:35:24.560 --> 0:35:28.080
<v Speaker 8>five pitches, and he's either gonna you know, throw another

0:35:28.120 --> 0:35:30.680
<v Speaker 8>bullpen here at home over the weekend or do a

0:35:30.719 --> 0:35:33.320
<v Speaker 8>live session at some point soon, a one inning session

0:35:33.360 --> 0:35:36.040
<v Speaker 8>to build off of that. But I could see early

0:35:36.080 --> 0:35:39.480
<v Speaker 8>September him, you know, coming back and you know, building

0:35:39.520 --> 0:35:41.960
<v Speaker 8>up from an inning to two innings and going forward there.

0:35:42.000 --> 0:35:44.160
<v Speaker 4>Are you comfortable with all that doing what you did

0:35:44.239 --> 0:35:46.839
<v Speaker 4>last year with the rehab starts being at the major

0:35:46.920 --> 0:35:47.799
<v Speaker 4>league level.

0:35:48.000 --> 0:35:50.439
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, I think we all are. We're all aligned. From

0:35:50.480 --> 0:35:53.640
<v Speaker 8>Showhy to the front office, to the training staff, coaching staff,

0:35:54.719 --> 0:35:57.640
<v Speaker 8>and he's one of our best pitchers, so any inning

0:35:57.800 --> 0:36:01.200
<v Speaker 8>we can get from him is certainly valuable and additive.

0:36:01.320 --> 0:36:03.880
<v Speaker 8>So yeah, we're good with it. Thanks a lot for

0:36:03.920 --> 0:36:04.560
<v Speaker 8>the time, Dave.

0:36:04.680 --> 0:36:08.719
<v Speaker 4>Enjoy your day off and obviously the Dodgers are doing

0:36:08.760 --> 0:36:12.000
<v Speaker 4>pretty well these days with seventy six wins in counting.

0:36:12.239 --> 0:36:13.360
<v Speaker 4>Thanks a lot for the time.

0:36:13.480 --> 0:36:15.160
<v Speaker 8>All right, Dave, we'll catch up next week.

0:36:15.320 --> 0:36:16.920

<v Speaker 3>His Dodgers and the Rockies one more time from of

0:36:53.719 --> 0:36:56.799
<v Speaker 3>course field in Denver. Dodgers going for the sweep. Also

0:36:56.840 --> 0:36:58.400
<v Speaker 3>a chance to pick up another half game in the

0:36:58.440 --> 0:37:01.520
<v Speaker 3>standards with the Padres already losing today, first pitch coming

0:37:01.600 --> 0:37:03.920
<v Speaker 3>up at five forty.

0:37:03.320 --> 0:37:06.879
<v Speaker 1>And now before the Dodgers hit the dining we look

0:37:06.920 --> 0:37:08.040
<v Speaker 1>at the pitching.

0:37:07.760 --> 0:37:10.359
<v Speaker 3>Matchups brought to you buy your Toyota dealers. We make

0:37:10.440 --> 0:37:13.120
<v Speaker 3>it easy. Kyle Freeland on the mound for the Rockies,

0:37:13.160 --> 0:37:17.080
<v Speaker 3>four and ten with a six twenty seven ERA, thirty

0:37:17.080 --> 0:37:19.760
<v Speaker 3>three year old left hander, tenth year in the big leagues,

0:37:19.800 --> 0:37:22.640
<v Speaker 3>all with the Rockies, making his twenty third start this year.

0:37:22.960 --> 0:37:25.600
<v Speaker 3>Last time out, Kyle Frieland eight innings, one run, four

0:37:25.680 --> 0:37:27.920
<v Speaker 3>hits in a win over the Giants, and his last

0:37:27.920 --> 0:37:29.879
<v Speaker 3>three starts he's two to zero because that other win

0:37:29.960 --> 0:37:33.239
<v Speaker 3>was a complete game, one run, five hitter, eight strikeouts

0:37:33.640 --> 0:37:36.480
<v Speaker 3>against the Kansas City Royals. This is Kyle Frielan's twenty

0:37:36.560 --> 0:37:39.879
<v Speaker 3>ninth start against the Dodgers. His twenty eight starts going

0:37:39.920 --> 0:37:42.439
<v Speaker 3>to today are the most against the Dodgers by any

0:37:42.480 --> 0:37:45.799
<v Speaker 3>active pitcher. He's four and thirteen, though, with a five

0:37:45.840 --> 0:37:48.279
<v Speaker 3>to twenty three RARA against them. Making his third start

0:37:48.280 --> 0:37:50.520
<v Speaker 3>against the Dodgers this year oh to one with a

0:37:50.719 --> 0:37:54.360
<v Speaker 3>fourteen RORA. His twelve quality starts so against the Dodgers

0:37:54.880 --> 0:37:56.759
<v Speaker 3>since his first year in the majors are the most

0:37:56.800 --> 0:38:00.840
<v Speaker 3>by any pitcher against the Dodgers since twenty seventeen. Rookie

0:38:00.880 --> 0:38:03.839
<v Speaker 3>Sasaki on the mound five and five with a four

0:38:03.880 --> 0:38:06.920
<v Speaker 3>to four six ERA. The twenty four year old right

0:38:06.960 --> 0:38:09.520
<v Speaker 3>handers really started to turn it on here the second

0:38:09.560 --> 0:38:12.080
<v Speaker 3>half of the season. Since the All Star break, Sasaki

0:38:12.160 --> 0:38:14.680
<v Speaker 3>is two to zero with a two to ten ERA,

0:38:14.920 --> 0:38:18.920
<v Speaker 3>twenty eight strikeouts and a one ninety six opponent's batting

0:38:19.000 --> 0:38:22.760
<v Speaker 3>average over thirty innings. That's pretty good over those five starts.

0:38:22.880 --> 0:38:25.479
<v Speaker 3>Last time out, six innings, two runs, four hits, two

0:38:25.480 --> 0:38:27.840
<v Speaker 3>strikeouts in a winner with the Milwaukee Brewers, making his

0:38:27.880 --> 0:38:31.560
<v Speaker 3>twenty second start, his third career start against the Rockies

0:38:31.560 --> 0:38:35.080
<v Speaker 3>and his other two both this season against Colorado. No wins,

0:38:35.120 --> 0:38:38.440
<v Speaker 3>no losses, A five RRA, seven strikeouts. He's made his

0:38:38.800 --> 0:38:42.279
<v Speaker 3>coors Field debut in his first start back on April nineteenth,

0:38:42.400 --> 0:38:46.600
<v Speaker 3>pitching into the fifth inning. Broki Sasaki Kyle frielan the

0:38:46.600 --> 0:38:49.560
<v Speaker 3>pitching matchup. Dodgers and Rockies were fifteen minutes away for

0:38:49.640 --> 0:38:51.919
<v Speaker 3>first pitch. Keys of the game are next. I'm Tim

0:38:52.000 --> 0:38:54.040
<v Speaker 3>Kais is the back to back World Series Champion Dodgers

0:38:54.160 --> 0:38:54.840
<v Speaker 3>Audio Network.

0:38:58.160 --> 0:39:03.360
<v Speaker 1>This is Morongo Cassino Dodgers Hunt game on your home

0:39:03.400 --> 0:39:05.320
<v Speaker 1>for La Dodgers Baseball.

0:39:06.960 --> 0:39:11.360
<v Speaker 3>It's the Dodgers and the Rockies Rookie Sasaki and Kyle

0:39:11.440 --> 0:39:13.919
<v Speaker 3>frielan the pitching matchup first pitch coming up at five

0:39:14.040 --> 0:39:17.319
<v Speaker 3>forty as the Dodgers sit at seventy six and fifty one.

0:39:17.360 --> 0:39:19.240
<v Speaker 3>They've won two in a row, looking for the sweep.

0:39:19.239 --> 0:39:22.799
<v Speaker 3>In Denver, Padres have already lost Diamondbacks one. So as

0:39:22.840 --> 0:39:25.719
<v Speaker 3>we speak, the Padres are eight and a half games back,

0:39:25.800 --> 0:39:28.120
<v Speaker 3>the Diamondbacks nine and a half games back. A Dodger

0:39:28.239 --> 0:39:31.600
<v Speaker 3>win means the Padres would fall back to nine games

0:39:31.640 --> 0:39:33.520
<v Speaker 3>back in the division. The Diamonbacks would go back to

0:39:33.560 --> 0:39:35.680
<v Speaker 3>ten games back. So a chance to pick up some

0:39:35.719 --> 0:39:38.400
<v Speaker 3>ground here, at least on San Diego with a victory

0:39:38.440 --> 0:39:40.080
<v Speaker 3>in Colorado's we get you ready for the start of

0:39:40.080 --> 0:39:42.560
<v Speaker 3>the game with the Sapporo Start Great Moments, Start with

0:39:42.560 --> 0:39:45.240

<v Speaker 3>non alcoholic beers. Soporo good with sushi, great with baseball,

0:39:52.160 --> 0:39:55.720
<v Speaker 3>back out to the booth one final time, Tim and Rick, guys, Tim.

0:39:55.600 --> 0:39:57.560
<v Speaker 2>Thanks again as we get you ready for this one.

0:39:57.600 --> 0:40:00.239
<v Speaker 2>The Dodgers will send rookie Sasaki to the mom five

0:40:00.280 --> 0:40:02.120
<v Speaker 2>and five and a four point four to six earn

0:40:02.200 --> 0:40:07.520
<v Speaker 2>run average. He has faced the Rockies twice already this season,

0:40:07.640 --> 0:40:10.520
<v Speaker 2>so third time around for Roki and the Dodgers trying

0:40:10.520 --> 0:40:13.200
<v Speaker 2>something a little different with him. Though he didn't fly

0:40:13.280 --> 0:40:15.640
<v Speaker 2>in here until yesterday. The Dodgers left him back in

0:40:15.680 --> 0:40:19.960
<v Speaker 2>Los Angeles and due to sports science studies, they felt

0:40:19.960 --> 0:40:22.279
<v Speaker 2>that it would be better to have him fly in

0:40:22.320 --> 0:40:24.520
<v Speaker 2>about twenty four hours before the game, come in here

0:40:24.520 --> 0:40:26.320
<v Speaker 2>and pitch and get right back on the plane and

0:40:26.320 --> 0:40:27.040
<v Speaker 2>get back to Aline.

0:40:27.080 --> 0:40:29.920
<v Speaker 5>Well, we're going to find out, because otherwise you'd be asking, well,

0:40:29.920 --> 0:40:33.200
<v Speaker 5>why didn't the other two starting pitchers fly in not

0:40:33.360 --> 0:40:36.000
<v Speaker 5>that early? So yeah, maybe it's a change into the

0:40:36.000 --> 0:40:38.400
<v Speaker 5>guard on how you approach coming into this. Weallparker're going

0:40:38.400 --> 0:40:40.840
<v Speaker 5>to find out. It's this hockey has turned things around

0:40:40.880 --> 0:40:44.200
<v Speaker 5>before the All Star break. Is era was over five

0:40:44.239 --> 0:40:47.680
<v Speaker 5>and a quarter since the All Star break five games.

0:40:47.880 --> 0:40:50.160
<v Speaker 5>Not only is he two to zero, that era is

0:40:50.239 --> 0:40:51.080
<v Speaker 5>just two point one.

0:40:51.600 --> 0:40:54.000
<v Speaker 2>The opposition tonight. Kyle Freedham, the left hander, has been

0:40:54.000 --> 0:40:56.120
<v Speaker 2>pitching well lately. He comes off a game against the

0:40:56.160 --> 0:40:58.840
<v Speaker 2>Giants where he won eight solid innings. A couple of

0:40:58.840 --> 0:41:01.680
<v Speaker 2>starts before that, he pitched his first career complete game

0:41:01.719 --> 0:41:05.040
<v Speaker 2>against Kansas City. But the Dodgers have hit the long

0:41:05.080 --> 0:41:07.759
<v Speaker 2>ball against Kyle Freeland in the past Sho Hey O

0:41:07.920 --> 0:41:11.239
<v Speaker 2>Tony to name one the Mookie Betts. He's also had

0:41:11.239 --> 0:41:13.520
<v Speaker 2>three home runs against him, and Tommy Edmund has a pair.

0:41:13.680 --> 0:41:13.839
<v Speaker 8>Yeah.

0:41:14.040 --> 0:41:15.799
<v Speaker 5>I think first of all, he throws a lot of

0:41:15.800 --> 0:41:18.480
<v Speaker 5>off speed pitches, but first pitch of it bats this

0:41:18.640 --> 0:41:22.800
<v Speaker 5>year for eighty average. Go hunting that first delivery.

0:41:22.960 --> 0:41:25.600
<v Speaker 2>Kyle Freeland the south pa against the right hand of

0:41:25.680 --> 0:41:28.560
<v Speaker 2>Roki Sasaki, final game of his three game sent as

0:41:28.560 --> 0:41:31.360
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers look for a sweep here in Colorado.

0:41:31.440 --> 0:41:33.279
<v Speaker 3>Tim, all right, don't forget when this game is over.

0:41:33.320 --> 0:41:34.799
<v Speaker 3>I got you cover with all the post game. We'll

0:41:34.800 --> 0:41:36.520
<v Speaker 3>get you an update on what's happened in the standings

0:41:36.520 --> 0:41:39.200
<v Speaker 3>and around baseball as well. Dodgers going for the sweep.

0:41:39.200 --> 0:41:41.279
<v Speaker 3>First pitch from Denver is next. This is Ben Rongo,
