We'll hear from Charlie Steiner. 0:01:33.120 --> 0:01:35.240 We'll go live to the field at PNC Park in 0:01:35.360 --> 0:01:37.400 just a little bit and visit with Kirsten Watson from 0:01:37.440 --> 0:01:39.560 Sports in at La and in just a few minutes 0:01:39.600 --> 0:01:42.479 out to the galloping Ford broadcast with Tim Nevert and 0:01:42.760 --> 0:01:46.360 Rick Monday. Well, last night's it was all about Paul 0:01:46.560 --> 0:01:50.200 Skeens and the Dodgers. Yes, the big right hander was 0:01:50.280 --> 0:01:52.520 zero and three in his last four starts, looking for 0:01:52.560 --> 0:01:55.000 a better start, and the Dodgers were hoping it wasn't 0:01:55.040 --> 0:01:57.520 against them. He was going up against Eric Lauer, who 0:01:57.720 --> 0:02:00.000 put the Dodgers in a hole back to back home 0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:02.560 runs in the first from the Buckos and the Pirates 0:02:02.560 --> 0:02:06.520 and Paul Skeens had a two nothing lead. However, the 0:02:06.560 --> 0:02:08.440 Dodgers would chip away at that in the top of 0:02:08.480 --> 0:02:11.919 the second, Kyle Tucker a sack fly, scoring Mookie Bets, 0:02:11.919 --> 0:02:13.679 who's starting to heat up a little bit. As the 0:02:13.720 --> 0:02:15.720 Dodgers cut the deficit in half. They were down two 0:02:15.800 --> 0:02:18.560 to one. Then fast forward to the sixth was skiing 0:02:18.639 --> 0:02:22.360 still in there, Max Munty with an RBI single past 0:02:22.440 --> 0:02:25.480 the second basement into right field that scored Freddie Freeman. 0:02:25.600 --> 0:02:28.560 The game was tied at two. Then came the rain 0:02:29.080 --> 0:02:31.960 and they played through it in Pittsburgh and it became 0:02:32.000 --> 0:02:35.200 a bullpen game after that, and the seventh inning turned 0:02:35.200 --> 0:02:38.240 in to not a rain delay, but a run delay 0:02:38.400 --> 0:02:41.840 for the Dodgers' offense. They'd put up a ten spot 0:02:42.280 --> 0:02:46.720 in the seventh inning. Unbelievable the offense that they got going. 0:02:46.840 --> 0:02:49.480 Dalton Rushing scored on a pickoff air by the catcher 0:02:49.560 --> 0:02:52.560 Davis that gave the Dodgers the lead. Show hey, O'TI 0:02:52.760 --> 0:02:55.959 despite the idiotic chance from the fans there at P 0:02:56.480 --> 0:02:59.400 and C Park saying overrated? Are you kidding me? Show 0:02:59.400 --> 0:03:02.360 a o'ton double the center scored Alex Freeland made it 0:03:02.400 --> 0:03:06.280 a forty two game. Then Andy Piz is Andy Piz. 0:03:06.880 --> 0:03:09.400 Oh Tani leads a second the stretch in the two 0:03:09.400 --> 0:03:11.400 to one and Andy swings hits a track to left 0:03:11.400 --> 0:03:12.040 field and deep. 0:03:12.240 --> 0:03:15.720 This ball heading back to the wall god a home run. 0:03:16.120 --> 0:03:19.480 Andy pie Haz his fifteenth home run of the season, 0:03:19.600 --> 0:03:20.520 drives in two. 0:03:21.000 --> 0:03:23.120 It is six to two Dodgers. 0:03:24.320 --> 0:03:29.080 Pie Haz with a blast into the bleachers and left 0:03:29.120 --> 0:03:33.399 four hundred and ten feet away from home plate.

Kyle Tucker crowded into a 0:03:49.400 --> 0:03:52.240 fielder's choice, A throwing there brought in a run, made 0:03:52.280 --> 0:03:55.160 it sevent to two. Then Ryan Ward has singled to 0:03:55.320 --> 0:03:57.600 right that scored a run, made it eight to two. 0:03:57.880 --> 0:04:01.080 Then a bases loaded walk to brought it no run. 0:04:01.120 --> 0:04:03.440 I made it nine to two. Then show hey Otani, 0:04:03.480 --> 0:04:05.360 they didn't want a piece of him. They walked in 0:04:05.400 --> 0:04:07.280 with the basis low that made it ten to too. 0:04:07.600 --> 0:04:10.200 Andy Pie has a sack fly made it eleven to 0:04:10.200 --> 0:04:13.200 two Dodgers with nine runs in the inning, and up 0:04:13.280 --> 0:04:16.400 came Freddy Freeman with a milestone. 0:04:16.200 --> 0:04:19.120 Now sacrifice fly by Pie his that's his third run, 0:04:19.160 --> 0:04:23.279 batted into the game. And Freddy Freeman swings there. It 0:04:23.400 --> 0:04:26.560 is hit number twenty five hundred. It's a pace hit 0:04:26.640 --> 0:04:30.480 to center. Freeman comes into score, Otani goes first to third. 0:04:31.120 --> 0:04:34.200 So Freddy Freeman with a milestone hit. Two thousand and 0:04:34.320 --> 0:04:36.760 five hundred career hits for Freddy Freeman. 0:04:36.960 --> 0:04:42.599 Yeah, and they're asking for the ball, come played, umpire, 0:04:42.800 --> 0:04:46.159 just motion throw the ball with the Dodgers first base 0:04:46.240 --> 0:04:50.080 dugout and for Freddy Freeman, a souvenir, well. 0:04:49.920 --> 0:04:54.520 Earned congratulations to Freddie Freeman, career hit number twenty five hundred, 0:04:54.600 --> 0:04:57.599 a milestone for Freddie Freeman, who will no doubt be 0:04:57.640 --> 0:05:00.640 in Cooper's down when it is all said.

Last night twelve to three 0:05:54.240 --> 0:05:56.359 drubbing of the Pirates with the hands of the Dodgers 0:05:56.520 --> 0:05:59.840 to raise their record to forty three and twenty four 0:05:59.839 --> 0:06:02.000 and now have built an eight and a half game 0:06:02.080 --> 0:06:05.080 lead in the National League Western Division. The Pirates are 0:06:05.080 --> 0:06:07.760 eight back in the Central tied with the Cubs. They're 0:06:07.760 --> 0:06:10.080 now one game over five hundred and thirty four and 0:06:10.240 --> 0:06:14.159 thirty three. The Pirates get right handed Jared Jones back 0:06:14.160 --> 0:06:16.320 on the hill he missed all of last season recovering 0:06:16.520 --> 0:06:19.839 from elbows surgery, and show hey o'tani will make his 0:06:20.000 --> 0:06:25.720 eleventh start his era under one zero point seven to four. 0:06:25.760 --> 0:06:27.640 There's a lot to say about what o'tany's been doing, 0:06:27.680 --> 0:06:30.200 both at the plate and on the hill and mo 0:06:30.440 --> 0:06:33.680 last night was a game that was anybody's game until 0:06:33.720 --> 0:06:37.440 the seventh inning a big error throwing air by Henry Davis, 0:06:37.480 --> 0:06:39.640 the catcher for the Pirates, and then the roof fell 0:06:39.680 --> 0:06:40.360 in for Pittsburgh. 0:06:40.440 --> 0:06:42.600 Ye had two costly airs in fact during the ball 0:06:42.680 --> 0:06:45.880 game by Pittsburgh, and they were battling tough, I mean 0:06:45.960 --> 0:06:47.840 back to back home runs at the very first inning. 0:06:47.960 --> 0:06:51.479 So Dodgers were down and behind, but they came back 0:06:51.560 --> 0:06:54.200 had he used the ball bin and the three different 0:06:54.240 --> 0:06:57.200 relievers kind of tied things down. Eric Lower, one of 0:06:57.240 --> 0:06:59.960 the things that he has done with this starting rote 0:07:00.360 --> 0:07:02.920 since he has been acquired is he given innings, went 0:07:02.960 --> 0:07:05.760 five and two thirds last night. And speaking of starting pitching, 0:07:06.160 --> 0:07:08.159 when we start to look at the starters for this 0:07:08.200 --> 0:07:10.920 Dodger Ball Club sho, heo, Tony's out there tonight. Well, 0:07:11.080 --> 0:07:14.080 the starters have not allowed more than two earned runs 0:07:14.560 --> 0:07:18.240 over their last sixteen games, and that's really allowed the 0:07:18.280 --> 0:07:21.640 Dodgers to feel much better about the offense as far 0:07:21.760 --> 0:07:24.000 as the bill is going to be, dude, and how 0:07:24.080 --> 0:07:27.080 much acted to base hits and get runs. 0:07:27.760 --> 0:07:30.480 Freddie Freeman reached the big milestone last night, twenty five 0:07:30.560 --> 0:07:34.520 hundred hits. In the clubhouse after the game, a champagne 0:07:34.560 --> 0:07:37.080 toast to Freddy. Freddie made a speech and he said, 0:07:37.120 --> 0:07:39.200 here's the five hundred more hits. I mean, it's easier 0:07:39.200 --> 0:07:40.720 said than done, isn't it. But I mean he's that 0:07:40.840 --> 0:07:41.880 close to three thousands. 0:07:41.880 --> 0:07:44.080 And he was also very humble and saying, look, it's 0:07:44.120 --> 0:07:46.880 a lot of fun coming to the ballpark with teammates 0:07:46.960 --> 0:07:50.040 like he has. And he voiced that last night. I 0:07:50.080 --> 0:07:52.720 looked it up molto last night before the ballgame is over. 0:07:52.840 --> 0:07:55.760 Freddie Freeman with base hitt number twenty five hundred last 0:07:55.840 --> 0:08:00.000 night his first base hit September fifth, twenty ten, again 0:08:00.000 --> 0:08:03.360 against the Marlins. Who is the pitcher, Clay Hensley. A 0:08:03.360 --> 0:08:05.560 lot of water's gone under the bridge and Freddie Freeman 0:08:05.840 --> 0:08:08.080 has outlasted a lot of pitchers that he's hit very 0:08:08.120 --> 0:08:08.600 well against. 0:08:08.720 --> 0:08:10.680 He certainly has a guy the Dodgers are going to 0:08:10.720 --> 0:08:12.720 have to find ways to get runs off of. Jared 0:08:12.840 --> 0:08:16.120 Jones in coming back from elbow surgery. He's had two 0:08:16.200 --> 0:08:19.600 starts since his return. In his last start against Houston, 0:08:19.600 --> 0:08:23.440 he pitched five shutout innings. He's averaging ninety nine miles 0:08:23.440 --> 0:08:24.920 per hour or better on his force ver. 0:08:25.040 --> 0:08:27.080 Yeah, how about the fact that since the surgery his 0:08:27.360 --> 0:08:31.120 miles per hour has increased by almost two miles an hour. 0:08:32.040 --> 0:08:35.079 So that's a big, big turnaround for him. And if 0:08:35.120 --> 0:08:36.760 you look at what he's done so far in the 0:08:36.840 --> 0:08:39.720 two games, lefties have hit one forty eight, right hitters 0:08:39.720 --> 0:08:43.120 have only hit one thirty nine. And he's just really 0:08:43.120 --> 0:08:47.480 been a force, especially at home where his ERA is 0:08:47.720 --> 0:08:50.319 under zero point nine. 0:08:50.480 --> 0:08:52.320 And as we speak right now, we don't know the 0:08:52.360 --> 0:08:55.400 status of Will Smith. Currently, he's on the active roster. 0:08:55.880 --> 0:08:59.679 The Dodgers are still having conversations about possibly putting him 0:08:59.720 --> 0:09:02.600 on the IL if so they'll have to get a 0:09:02.640 --> 0:09:05.040 catcher here, But as of right now, Will is still 0:09:05.040 --> 0:09:08.120 on the active roster. He's got the stiff neck issue 0:09:08.120 --> 0:09:10.000 that has been keeping him out of the lineup. Dalton 0:09:10.080 --> 0:09:13.720 rushing back in tonight Dodgers and the Pirates coming up 0:09:13.720 --> 0:09:15.760 from PNC Park in Pittsburgh. 0:09:15.840 --> 0:09:17.800 T all right, thank you guys, as we canting you 0:09:17.840 --> 0:09:19.559 down to the first pitch.

Great hustle show. 0:10:51.200 --> 0:10:54.680 Hey, Otani with the RBI double, his fifteenth of the 0:10:54.840 --> 0:10:57.560 season also had an RBI with the bases loaded walk. 0:10:57.880 --> 0:11:00.240 So he drives into last night part of the at 0:11:00.480 --> 0:11:04.000 ten run seventh inning for the Dodgers and a twelve 0:11:04.040 --> 0:11:05.520 to three route of the Pirates. 0:11:06.080 --> 0:11:09.960 This is Karston's corner with Kirston Watson. 0:11:10.320 --> 0:11:10.480 Hey. 0:11:10.520 --> 0:11:12.439 Kearson now joins us from the field, brought to buy 0:11:12.480 --> 0:11:15.600 cars for kids, donate now at Cars for Kids dot Org. 0:11:15.679 --> 0:11:18.760 All Right, Kirson, the Dodgers and Will Smith, they got 0:11:18.760 --> 0:11:20.880 a decision to make here because that next just not 0:11:20.960 --> 0:11:21.840 get any better. 0:11:22.480 --> 0:11:25.760 Yeah, no, so you know what he is progressing, he's 0:11:25.840 --> 0:11:27.760 getting better, but because now he's been out of the 0:11:27.760 --> 0:11:29.599 lineup for four games straight, of course you know what 0:11:29.600 --> 0:11:32.520 adult and rushing is in there tonight. Dave Roberts was 0:11:32.520 --> 0:11:34.760 sharing this afternoon that they just kind of feel like 0:11:34.960 --> 0:11:37.439 right now it might make more sense to put them 0:11:37.440 --> 0:11:39.440 on the IL and then backdate it when it comes 0:11:39.440 --> 0:11:42.439 to position players. It's only a ten DAYIL, so it 0:11:42.480 --> 0:11:45.679 would work out well in that sense, But right now 0:11:45.679 --> 0:11:47.680 they're kind of more of they have to make the decision. 0:11:48.000 --> 0:11:51.000 They're likely going to make it by the end of today. 0:11:51.440 --> 0:11:53.680 But Dave Roberts did say that if something worse to 0:11:53.760 --> 0:11:58.840 happen tonight regarding Dalton Rushing, they do like they could 0:11:58.840 --> 0:12:01.280 go to Will Smith in urgency if need be. That 0:12:01.320 --> 0:12:04.160 would been mess up being able to backdate the IL sit. 0:12:04.720 --> 0:12:06.520 But they do feel like he's in a position where 0:12:06.520 --> 0:12:08.600 he could go out there if he has to, So 0:12:08.640 --> 0:12:10.600 they are hoping to stay away from him and then 0:12:10.600 --> 0:12:13.720 they'll be making that decision tonight, but it does feel 0:12:13.800 --> 0:12:17.199 like I L now is going to be happening. 0:12:17.320 --> 0:12:20.760 The Dodgers tonight gets showy Otani on the mound, certainly 0:12:20.800 --> 0:12:23.720 a buzz inside PNC Park whether he's a hitter, but 0:12:23.760 --> 0:12:26.760 certainly when he's a two way player pitching and hitting. Tonight, 0:12:26.800 --> 0:12:28.160 we're going to be in for a treat tonight to 0:12:28.160 --> 0:12:29.760 see what he can do against his Pirates team. 0:12:30.520 --> 0:12:32.440 We really are. And you know what, It's so funny 0:12:32.440 --> 0:12:35.200 because last night, of course you have the Pirates fans 0:12:35.240 --> 0:12:37.839 and they're changing that show Hey Otani is overrated. But 0:12:37.880 --> 0:12:39.680 then you have a guy who's coming onto the mound 0:12:39.720 --> 0:12:41.920 today who's got a goal of winning a cy young 0:12:42.080 --> 0:12:44.000 He's got an e al right, that's under one. He's 0:12:44.040 --> 0:12:47.520 been excellent and then on offensively since in mid May, 0:12:47.800 --> 0:12:50.280 he's been lights out. So when you have a guy 0:12:50.360 --> 0:12:52.600 like that, Dave Roberts obviously feels really good to us 0:12:52.640 --> 0:12:55.160 to where he's at when it is managing that fatigue, 0:12:55.200 --> 0:12:57.200 to the mechanic pool changes that he was working through, 0:12:57.200 --> 0:13:00.719 with his posture, with his playing. Everything now for him 0:13:00.840 --> 0:13:04.480 is very much instinct until it's kind of like the 0:13:04.520 --> 0:13:06.600 world is his oyster at the moment. What is he 0:13:06.640 --> 0:13:08.360 going to do today? I think we're at all going 0:13:08.440 --> 0:13:12.000 to be in for something. But he's far from overrated 0:13:12.040 --> 0:13:14.880 and most likely more underrated if anything, because of how 0:13:14.960 --> 0:13:17.079 much talent he has and what he's able to do. 0:13:17.480 --> 0:13:18.839 So we're all in for a street today. 0:13:19.080 --> 0:13:21.760 Yeah, how about that chat last night from those fans 0:13:22.200 --> 0:13:23.640 in the top deck they can save. 0:13:23.720 --> 0:13:25.040 It is the Dodgers that went out. 0:13:24.960 --> 0:13:27.720 Scored ten runs, and Kirsten, we appreciate.

Brock Stewart is 0:14:35.400 --> 0:14:38.440 throwing the sim games, so that's a progression. There, as 0:14:38.560 --> 0:14:40.760 is Tommy Evan who's on a minor league rehab assignment 0:14:40.760 --> 0:14:43.640 with Triple A Oklahoma City, Ben Cospari's Land and nat Evinstone, 0:14:43.840 --> 0:14:47.160 Evan Phillips, Bruce Dargrad Role all on the IL with 0:14:47.400 --> 0:14:49.920 various injuries.

Dave? 0:14:54.480 --> 0:14:57.320 Can you just describe Dave can you talk about the 0:14:57.360 --> 0:15:01.200 pressure in the dugouts with Roberts? 0:15:01.720 --> 0:15:05.760 You know what he's progressing, but I think that it's 0:15:05.800 --> 0:15:09.880 been what probably four days since he's been in a game. 0:15:11.000 --> 0:15:14.040 There's been some improvement, but I think you're talking to 0:15:14.120 --> 0:15:18.320 him today the training stuff ils most likely to kind 0:15:18.320 --> 0:15:24.320 of use those back date days and then so yeah, 0:15:24.480 --> 0:15:26.440 I mean that's probably what I see, and we'll have 0:15:26.480 --> 0:15:28.720 to make that decision.

So 0:15:44.040 --> 0:15:45.480 I'm not sure who that's going to be though. 0:15:45.880 --> 0:15:48.480 All Right, there's the manager, Dave Roberts, so looking like 0:15:48.480 --> 0:15:51.080 an il stand for Will Smith, and got to figure 0:15:51.120 --> 0:15:52.520 out what they're going to do as far as I 0:15:52.520 --> 0:15:54.840 have backup catchers concerned.

That's what Baseball's 0:17:50.600 --> 0:17:53.040 ballot is, a team basebooks ballot, and for me to 0:17:53.040 --> 0:17:53.720 be a part of it. 0:17:53.680 --> 0:17:55.399 Over these last few years, it's been. 0:17:55.280 --> 0:17:57.000 Special and it makes it fun for me to come 0:17:57.040 --> 0:18:00.240 to the yard, keep grinding, leading our families every other week. 0:18:01.320 --> 0:18:01.800 It's hard. 0:18:01.880 --> 0:18:03.840 And when you have guys like you, guys clued Offs 0:18:03.920 --> 0:18:07.000 his money team as you apart hit So I like 0:18:07.119 --> 0:18:09.160 Doc Chevis trying to get five hundred more. 0:18:09.880 --> 0:18:12.760 All right, Yeah sounds good, Freddy Freeman. Five hundred more 0:18:12.800 --> 0:18:15.760 to three thousand. We'll see whether or not he's able 0:18:15.840 --> 0:18:18.040 to do it, but you know, the COVID year took 0:18:18.080 --> 0:18:21.600 away hits from him, and also the looming lockout and 0:18:21.720 --> 0:18:26.400 the labor disagreement right now is also over his head 0:18:26.440 --> 0:18:29.240 about trying to get in his way for three thousand hits. 0:18:29.280 --> 0:18:33.679 But very classy if Freddie Freeman wouldn't expect anything less 0:18:34.040 --> 0:18:37.880 for Freddy Freeman to show the gratitude towards his teammates 0:18:37.880 --> 0:18:41.360 more than you know, talking about himself and his accomplishments, 0:18:41.400 --> 0:18:44.240 and twenty five hundred hits, tim and this day and 0:18:44.320 --> 0:18:46.879 age of baseball is not something you're going to see 0:18:47.000 --> 0:18:50.520 very often.
