0:01:24.800 --> 0:01:27.920
<v Speaker 3>we'll visit with Kirsten Watson live on the field at

<v Speaker 3>in with Tim Nevert and Rick Monday out the Gallpin

0:01:32.720 --> 0:01:36.480
<v Speaker 3>Motors Broadcast booth. Well, last night, wasn't it a great

0:01:36.520 --> 0:01:40.040
<v Speaker 3>outing for Roki Sasaki who has struggled all spring long.

0:01:40.440 --> 0:01:42.520
<v Speaker 3>Got into trouble in the first inning, had to come

0:01:42.560 --> 0:01:45.720
<v Speaker 3>out after giving up four runs, walked in a run,

0:01:45.800 --> 0:01:48.520
<v Speaker 3>walked in a second run, gave up a two run single.

0:01:48.560 --> 0:01:51.160
<v Speaker 3>It just was not a good start for Rokie, who

0:01:51.160 --> 0:01:53.360
<v Speaker 3>would come back out in the second inning. It's spring

0:01:53.400 --> 0:01:56.200
<v Speaker 3>training baseball still, you can do that kind of stuff. Officially,

0:01:56.200 --> 0:02:00.520
<v Speaker 3>he gave up five runs on no hits and walked

0:02:00.760 --> 0:02:03.440
<v Speaker 3>six in his outing last night.

0:02:03.560 --> 0:02:04.560
<v Speaker 4>Put the Dodgers in the hole.

0:02:04.600 --> 0:02:06.960
<v Speaker 3>They were down six to nothing after three and a

0:02:06.960 --> 0:02:09.480
<v Speaker 3>half ineas bottom of the fourth inning, though the Dodgers

0:02:09.480 --> 0:02:11.679
<v Speaker 3>finally got on the board thanks to Tao.

0:02:12.160 --> 0:02:16.400
<v Speaker 1>That's where the comeback begins. More might as well some

0:02:16.560 --> 0:02:20.119
<v Speaker 1>time like the President. One old pitch and this one

0:02:20.200 --> 0:02:21.840
<v Speaker 1>driven high and deep to left.

0:02:22.120 --> 0:02:25.280
<v Speaker 6>It is headed back to the pavilion in corn A

0:02:25.400 --> 0:02:30.120
<v Speaker 6>home run tay Oscar Hernandez with his fifth home run

0:02:30.200 --> 0:02:32.760
<v Speaker 6>of the spring, and the Dodgers get on the board.

0:02:32.840 --> 0:02:37.520
<v Speaker 7>It is six to one. There's the start you were

0:02:37.560 --> 0:02:38.320
<v Speaker 7>talking about.

0:02:38.400 --> 0:02:41.160
<v Speaker 8>And for Teo, he's at himself white the spring to

0:02:41.280 --> 0:02:42.200
<v Speaker 8>get ready for this.

0:02:42.240 --> 0:02:45.880
<v Speaker 3>Season taskar Hernettez gets the Dodgers on the board, home

0:02:45.919 --> 0:02:47.200
<v Speaker 3>run number five of the spring.

0:02:47.240 --> 0:02:49.359
<v Speaker 4>He's ready to go. The Dodgers weren't done.

0:02:49.400 --> 0:02:51.919
<v Speaker 3>Miguel Rojas a two run home run that made it

0:02:51.960 --> 0:02:54.200
<v Speaker 3>a six to three game. In the sixth, the Dodgers

0:02:54.240 --> 0:02:57.120
<v Speaker 3>would score one more Dalton rushing walk with the bases

0:02:57.120 --> 0:02:59.240
<v Speaker 3>loaded to make it a six to four game. Angels

0:02:59.240 --> 0:03:00.760
<v Speaker 3>got to run in the top of the seventh, but

0:03:00.800 --> 0:03:03.280
<v Speaker 3>the Dodgers, with a lot of young players out there,

0:03:03.280 --> 0:03:05.880
<v Speaker 3>the starters came out and once you know it, the

0:03:05.960 --> 0:03:08.120
<v Speaker 3>young guys put together a nice little rally in the

0:03:08.160 --> 0:03:11.160
<v Speaker 3>eighth inning, Dalton rushing delivering.

0:03:11.240 --> 0:03:14.679
<v Speaker 1>Won swung out and lined into the gap in right

0:03:14.720 --> 0:03:17.080
<v Speaker 1>center field. That's a base hit that's gonna go all

0:03:17.120 --> 0:03:20.320
<v Speaker 1>the way to the wall around third is Alfonso. Here

0:03:20.440 --> 0:03:23.480
<v Speaker 1>comes air hard in the score. It's a one run

0:03:23.560 --> 0:03:27.160
<v Speaker 1>ball game. A two run couple for Dunton rushing. It's

0:03:27.200 --> 0:03:28.000
<v Speaker 1>seven to six.

0:03:28.520 --> 0:03:31.040
<v Speaker 3>How about that Dalton rushing with the double the right

0:03:31.080 --> 0:03:33.160
<v Speaker 3>two runs come in, it's a seven to six game.

0:03:33.560 --> 0:03:36.160
<v Speaker 4>Alex call. Well, he made the right call last night.

0:03:36.200 --> 0:03:38.800
<v Speaker 3>A double down the left field line that scored Dalton rushing,

0:03:38.840 --> 0:03:40.160
<v Speaker 3>that tied the game at seven.

0:03:40.640 --> 0:03:41.920
<v Speaker 4>Well, that's how they would finish.

0:03:42.000 --> 0:03:44.840
<v Speaker 3>After nine complete innings and a lot of different pitchers

0:03:44.840 --> 0:03:47.680
<v Speaker 3>getting in for both the Dodgers and the Angels, both

0:03:47.720 --> 0:03:50.560
<v Speaker 3>sides agreed, Hey, that's enough, we've seen enough after nine.

0:03:50.720 --> 0:03:53.360
<v Speaker 3>So they played to a seven to seven tie last night.

0:03:53.360 --> 0:03:54.640
<v Speaker 3>And that was the top tier play of the game,

0:03:54.760 --> 0:03:58.040
<v Speaker 3>brought to you by Arco Quality, top tier gas for less. Tonight,

0:03:58.080 --> 0:04:01.080
<v Speaker 3>they're back at it as the Dodgers up the exhibition

0:04:01.160 --> 0:04:04.160

<v Speaker 1>Beautiful evening here at Dodgers Stadium as we get things

0:04:14.440 --> 0:04:16.880

<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty six preseason, the Dodgers and the Angels, as

0:04:25.800 --> 0:04:28.520
<v Speaker 1>Show hey Otani will take them mound tonight. He's also

0:04:28.560 --> 0:04:30.680
<v Speaker 1>going to DH and lead off, so it'll be a

0:04:30.680 --> 0:04:34.120
<v Speaker 1>busy night for Show hey Otani. In the spring one

0:04:34.200 --> 0:04:37.200
<v Speaker 1>to zero with the no ERA, he will face right

0:04:37.200 --> 0:04:42.159
<v Speaker 1>hander Jack Kahanowitz. Kohanowitz is also recordless no decisions with

0:04:42.200 --> 0:04:44.960
<v Speaker 1>an ERA just under two at one ninety eight. So

0:04:45.080 --> 0:04:48.080
<v Speaker 1>the twenty five year old out of Baalakinwood, Pennsylvania taking

0:04:48.120 --> 0:04:51.839
<v Speaker 1>on Show hey Otani here in what we expect to

0:04:51.880 --> 0:04:54.039
<v Speaker 1>be a game where we'll see the starters take two,

0:04:54.080 --> 0:04:56.279
<v Speaker 1>maybe three at bats, and then we'll see the young

0:04:56.279 --> 0:04:59.240
<v Speaker 1>guys finish it up tonight as the Dodgers get sent

0:04:59.279 --> 0:05:04.440
<v Speaker 1>for opening coming Thursday five thirty right here at Dodgers Stadium,

0:05:04.600 --> 0:05:08.000
<v Speaker 1>as the Dodgers will take on the Diamondbacks. Yoshinobu Yamamoto,

0:05:08.080 --> 0:05:11.760
<v Speaker 1>the opening day starter against Zach Gallon of the Diamondbacks.

0:05:12.160 --> 0:05:14.880
<v Speaker 1>But tonight, Mo, it's a chance to see what could

0:05:14.880 --> 0:05:17.320
<v Speaker 1>be the opening day lineup. And one of the questions

0:05:17.320 --> 0:05:19.680
<v Speaker 1>we had who would start at second base? Would it

0:05:19.680 --> 0:05:22.680
<v Speaker 1>be Miguel Rojas due to the fact he was a

0:05:22.839 --> 0:05:25.880
<v Speaker 1>World Series hero, Would he get the start on opening day?

0:05:26.000 --> 0:05:27.880
<v Speaker 1>Or would they go with a left handed bat in

0:05:27.960 --> 0:05:30.320
<v Speaker 1>Alex Freeland. Tonight, Freeland's in the lineup.

0:05:30.400 --> 0:05:32.760
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, so it's a kind of rebeat of what we

0:05:32.800 --> 0:05:37.240
<v Speaker 8>have seen. Dave Roberts, interestingly enough, was asked a little

0:05:37.279 --> 0:05:41.680
<v Speaker 8>early this afternoon, what about spring training so far? I mean,

0:05:41.800 --> 0:05:45.120
<v Speaker 8>are the Dodgers where they wanted to be when spring

0:05:45.160 --> 0:05:48.839
<v Speaker 8>training got underway. I'm talking about preparedness. I'm talking about

0:05:49.040 --> 0:05:51.640
<v Speaker 8>from a health standpoint, And he went through really kind

0:05:51.640 --> 0:05:54.159
<v Speaker 8>of a laundry list, in particular some of the younger

0:05:54.200 --> 0:05:56.719
<v Speaker 8>players that we have seen little snippets here and there

0:05:57.040 --> 0:06:00.920
<v Speaker 8>about how pleased he has been with think the gradual

0:06:01.000 --> 0:06:03.920
<v Speaker 8>elevation of their awareness on how to play this game

0:06:04.000 --> 0:06:07.840
<v Speaker 8>at elevated level as well. And we've seen a lot

0:06:07.880 --> 0:06:10.640
<v Speaker 8>of players and I think that overall, there's no question

0:06:10.760 --> 0:06:13.279
<v Speaker 8>that I just have to be very very pleased with

0:06:13.400 --> 0:06:16.480
<v Speaker 8>the transition from a club that came in trying to

0:06:16.480 --> 0:06:19.360
<v Speaker 8>prepare for the season open up versus tide as we're

0:06:19.400 --> 0:06:21.920
<v Speaker 8>just really on the threshold of opening up on Thursday.

0:06:22.560 --> 0:06:25.600
<v Speaker 1>One of the stories today continuing from last night's game,

0:06:25.720 --> 0:06:28.280
<v Speaker 1>Roki Sasaki been talked about all night last night, all

0:06:28.360 --> 0:06:31.720
<v Speaker 1>day today, and the Dodgers, you know, looking at him

0:06:31.760 --> 0:06:33.800
<v Speaker 1>and saying, look, we're having conversations with him.

0:06:34.560 --> 0:06:36.400
<v Speaker 7>Dave said this afternoon.

0:06:35.960 --> 0:06:39.240
<v Speaker 1>That he can be overly analytical about things, but bottom

0:06:39.240 --> 0:06:39.599
<v Speaker 1>line is.

0:06:39.600 --> 0:06:40.479
<v Speaker 7>He needs to be better.

0:06:40.560 --> 0:06:40.760
<v Speaker 9>Yeah.

0:06:41.080 --> 0:06:43.479
<v Speaker 8>I think of one word that he also used last night.

0:06:43.520 --> 0:06:46.320
<v Speaker 8>He being Dave Roberts, the manager before the game, was

0:06:46.360 --> 0:06:49.080
<v Speaker 8>asked about Sasaki, and he said, we need him to

0:06:49.120 --> 0:06:52.520
<v Speaker 8>be more competitive. That's not what we saw last night.

0:06:52.800 --> 0:06:54.520
<v Speaker 8>And that was the final tune up. And I know

0:06:54.560 --> 0:06:58.039
<v Speaker 8>there's been some conversations that Mark Prior, the pitching coaches had,

0:06:58.040 --> 0:07:01.160
<v Speaker 8>that Dave Roberts has had with him. But last night

0:07:01.279 --> 0:07:04.240
<v Speaker 8>was kind of a disappointing, not even kind of last

0:07:04.320 --> 0:07:06.640
<v Speaker 8>night was a disappointing OUTI versus Hoki.

0:07:07.000 --> 0:07:09.920
<v Speaker 1>Sosaki scheduled to pitch on March thirtieth. That will be

0:07:09.960 --> 0:07:12.760
<v Speaker 1>Game four of the season. Game one of the series

0:07:12.800 --> 0:07:15.840
<v Speaker 1>with the Cleveland Guardians, and at that point in time,

0:07:16.200 --> 0:07:19.240
<v Speaker 1>Dave said, it's all about, you know, production and all

0:07:19.280 --> 0:07:22.600
<v Speaker 1>about results as it affects Roki Sasaki, who continues to

0:07:22.640 --> 0:07:23.200
<v Speaker 1>be a story.

0:07:23.600 --> 0:07:26.400
<v Speaker 7>Meantime, the Dodgers twenty wins eight.

0:07:26.240 --> 0:07:29.440
<v Speaker 1>Losses to ties in the spring, the Angels sixteen fifteen

0:07:29.560 --> 0:07:32.760
<v Speaker 1>and one, show Hey Otani against Jack Kohanowitz.

0:07:33.160 --> 0:07:34.440
<v Speaker 7>That's the pitching matchup.

0:07:34.920 --> 0:07:37.560

<v Speaker 3>season Kirsten and a big one for show Heyo Tani.

0:09:45.000 --> 0:09:47.880
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, it really is. But sho Hey, obviously, most of

0:09:47.920 --> 0:09:49.800
<v Speaker 10>the spring he was away from the teams. Who's playing

0:09:49.800 --> 0:09:52.520
<v Speaker 10>for Team Japan in the World Baseball Classic, and during

0:09:52.600 --> 0:09:54.600
<v Speaker 10>that it was made very clear that he wasn't going

0:09:54.679 --> 0:09:56.960
<v Speaker 10>to be pitching in any games, so he's only with

0:09:57.000 --> 0:09:59.959
<v Speaker 10>Team Japan as the DH but he was still continuing

0:10:00.120 --> 0:10:02.600
<v Speaker 10>his build up. Of course, he comes into this sprink

0:10:02.920 --> 0:10:05.679
<v Speaker 10>fully healthy. We saw how last year how they really

0:10:05.720 --> 0:10:08.480
<v Speaker 10>managed whether it was his build up one inning and

0:10:08.520 --> 0:10:11.640
<v Speaker 10>then two innings, three innings, moving on. So for this

0:10:11.760 --> 0:10:14.920
<v Speaker 10>year he comes in a totally different position. Dave Roberts

0:10:14.960 --> 0:10:18.040
<v Speaker 10>was sharing today that just considering with his last outing

0:10:18.200 --> 0:10:20.760
<v Speaker 10>that was in Arizona, he was able to get into

0:10:20.800 --> 0:10:23.679
<v Speaker 10>the fifth inning. They feel really good as to where

0:10:23.840 --> 0:10:26.559
<v Speaker 10>his build up is at right now, so hopefully tonight

0:10:26.679 --> 0:10:29.280
<v Speaker 10>he can get through six. But he's in a good

0:10:29.280 --> 0:10:31.360
<v Speaker 10>spot and he's ready for the regular season.

0:10:31.640 --> 0:10:34.559
<v Speaker 3>He's ready, But last night we saw the Roki Sasaki

0:10:35.080 --> 0:10:37.760
<v Speaker 3>not necessarily up to mid season.

0:10:37.520 --> 0:10:39.560
<v Speaker 4>Form to get ready here for the start of the season.

0:10:40.840 --> 0:10:44.040
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, it's the results are showing that. He's definitely still

0:10:44.080 --> 0:10:46.200
<v Speaker 10>working through a few things. He even shared that he

0:10:46.280 --> 0:10:49.120
<v Speaker 10>felt interesting enough when he was in the bullten ahead

0:10:49.120 --> 0:10:51.480
<v Speaker 10>of the game, he felt really good with how his

0:10:51.520 --> 0:10:53.680
<v Speaker 10>stuff was playing, but once he got on the mound

0:10:53.840 --> 0:10:56.200
<v Speaker 10>in the game, just his mechanics were a little out

0:10:56.240 --> 0:10:58.800
<v Speaker 10>of black. He did say that, you know, look, he

0:10:58.920 --> 0:11:01.200
<v Speaker 10>is going to have games of the season, so that's

0:11:01.200 --> 0:11:03.720
<v Speaker 10>actually going to be Game one of the Guardian Series.

0:11:04.600 --> 0:11:07.560
<v Speaker 10>He understands what he needs to do to get ready

0:11:07.559 --> 0:11:10.000
<v Speaker 10>for that outing. Dave Roberts and the organization has been

0:11:10.040 --> 0:11:12.600
<v Speaker 10>very clear and the confidence that they have with him.

0:11:12.640 --> 0:11:16.520
<v Speaker 10>It's just now getting back to compete. Most trying not

0:11:16.679 --> 0:11:19.240
<v Speaker 10>to be focused so much on the mechanics but now

0:11:19.559 --> 0:11:22.080
<v Speaker 10>getting back to where he can get the positive results.

0:11:22.160 --> 0:11:24.280
<v Speaker 10>So he did say that, you know, he knows that

0:11:24.320 --> 0:11:26.200
<v Speaker 10>he needs to work on to get there, and so

0:11:26.280 --> 0:11:28.960
<v Speaker 10>the hope and expectation is that he can perform when

0:11:29.000 --> 0:11:30.400
<v Speaker 10>that regular season start comes.

0:11:30.760 --> 0:11:33.360
<v Speaker 3>The regular season starts on Thursday, ro Okio'll get to

0:11:33.400 --> 0:11:37.680
<v Speaker 3>start in the second series against the Cleveland Guardians. Kirsten

<v Speaker 3>appreciate it. We'll do it for real on Thursday. We'll

<v Speaker 3>head back out to Dodger Stadium as we check in

<v Speaker 3>with the Dodger skipper.

0:13:11.000 --> 0:13:11.520
<v Speaker 9>Anything else.

0:13:12.960 --> 0:13:14.079
<v Speaker 7>The questions for Dave Dave.

0:13:14.200 --> 0:13:17.040
<v Speaker 9>Can you just describe Dave. Can you talk about the

0:13:17.080 --> 0:13:18.560
<v Speaker 9>pressure in.

0:13:18.559 --> 0:13:21.960
<v Speaker 2>The dugouts with Dave Roberts.

0:13:21.920 --> 0:13:22.960
<v Speaker 9>Really really pleased.

0:13:23.320 --> 0:13:28.360
<v Speaker 11>I think you know that that outing in Arizona, you

0:13:28.480 --> 0:13:33.679
<v Speaker 11>saw the the intent, the stuff was really good, very focused.

0:13:34.800 --> 0:13:36.800
<v Speaker 11>I think for us tonight, if we can get him

0:13:36.840 --> 0:13:40.800
<v Speaker 11>to get to the sixth inning, get up to seventy

0:13:40.840 --> 0:13:44.160
<v Speaker 11>five eighty pitches, that'd be a huge win and uh

0:13:44.480 --> 0:13:48.200
<v Speaker 11>just kind of have similar command and sequencing that he

0:13:48.240 --> 0:13:49.000
<v Speaker 11>did in Arizona.

0:13:50.280 --> 0:13:53.240
<v Speaker 2>Hey, what what she says for Showy's desire to go

0:13:53.280 --> 0:13:55.080
<v Speaker 2>to wire to wire as a pure.

0:13:57.480 --> 0:13:58.720
<v Speaker 9>How way do you think.

0:13:58.520 --> 0:13:58.840
<v Speaker 11>He is.

0:14:01.080 --> 0:14:01.520
<v Speaker 9>Mm hmm.

0:14:03.000 --> 0:14:08.840
<v Speaker 11>I think it's Uh, his desire is is is high

0:14:08.880 --> 0:14:14.240
<v Speaker 11>to do that. I think it's very realistic to do

0:14:14.320 --> 0:14:19.280
<v Speaker 11>that with the the idea that you know, there's times

0:14:19.280 --> 0:14:22.160
<v Speaker 11>to give him a little extra rest in between starts

0:14:23.040 --> 0:14:25.440
<v Speaker 11>and so I don't think anyone knows how that it's

0:14:25.440 --> 0:14:28.960
<v Speaker 11>going to look, but I think it's safe to say

0:14:29.000 --> 0:14:32.440
<v Speaker 11>that it's not a situation as every sixth day, every

0:14:32.480 --> 0:14:37.280
<v Speaker 11>seventh day he pitches. So I think that, yeah, so

0:14:38.040 --> 0:14:41.680
<v Speaker 11>the desires high, I think it's realistic. Then the question,

0:14:41.880 --> 0:14:44.040
<v Speaker 11>the bigger question is how are we going to manage

0:14:44.080 --> 0:14:45.000
<v Speaker 11>that and navigate it.

0:14:45.440 --> 0:14:47.040
<v Speaker 3>Well, well, you kind of have to see that during

0:14:47.160 --> 0:14:51.280
<v Speaker 3>starts to how much LEA should give him pitch count or.

0:14:51.200 --> 0:14:52.880
<v Speaker 9>Whatever, like once he actually gets.

0:14:52.720 --> 0:14:56.080
<v Speaker 8>Sent an agel kind of treat like any other picture.

0:14:59.680 --> 0:14:59.880
<v Speaker 9>You know.

0:15:00.000 --> 0:15:03.880
<v Speaker 11>So I think that that's a good question. I think

0:15:03.920 --> 0:15:07.600
<v Speaker 11>it's some of it is contingent on tonight. Some of

0:15:07.640 --> 0:15:10.440
<v Speaker 11>it then is contingent on his first start in the season,

0:15:10.520 --> 0:15:14.080
<v Speaker 11>and as the build up is and looking at each

0:15:14.120 --> 0:15:21.960
<v Speaker 11>outing separately, but yeah, looking at each outing separately, stress,

0:15:23.280 --> 0:15:25.880
<v Speaker 11>you know, all that stuff, the stuff, and then I

0:15:25.920 --> 0:15:29.400
<v Speaker 11>think for us and coming out of it, you know,

0:15:29.640 --> 0:15:33.560
<v Speaker 11>as far as off days, you know what the schedule

0:15:33.600 --> 0:15:36.640
<v Speaker 11>looks like, where potentially he would slot in for his

0:15:36.720 --> 0:15:39.440
<v Speaker 11>next start. There's a lot of other variables that I

0:15:39.560 --> 0:15:43.600
<v Speaker 11>just you really can't kind of answer right now. But

0:15:45.000 --> 0:15:50.400
<v Speaker 11>I guess Jack, once he gets going, managing them to

0:15:50.480 --> 0:15:54.360
<v Speaker 11>win the game, but also just being mindful of, you know,

0:15:55.360 --> 0:15:57.840
<v Speaker 11>the workload, what he's done, what he's capable of. So

0:15:58.480 --> 0:16:00.760
<v Speaker 11>you know, just like tonight, not going to get into

0:16:00.760 --> 0:16:04.160
<v Speaker 11>the seventh inning, could he if he's efficient, could he

0:16:04.240 --> 0:16:08.440
<v Speaker 11>get through six? Yes, you know, And then when you're

0:16:08.440 --> 0:16:11.160
<v Speaker 11>talking about the first game of the season. Could he

0:16:11.240 --> 0:16:13.520
<v Speaker 11>get through sixth inning? Could he touch the seventh Yes,

0:16:13.560 --> 0:16:15.920
<v Speaker 11>but he won't touch the eighth inning. So there's got

0:16:15.960 --> 0:16:19.160
<v Speaker 11>to be some responsibility as far as how we manage him.

0:16:19.640 --> 0:16:23.000
<v Speaker 11>And then you know, looking out the ensuing days.

0:16:23.240 --> 0:16:25.640
<v Speaker 3>Figure is the workload even from last year when he

0:16:25.720 --> 0:16:26.160
<v Speaker 3>was kind.

0:16:26.000 --> 0:16:27.960
<v Speaker 2>Of building up and coming back by the end of

0:16:27.960 --> 0:16:30.400
<v Speaker 2>the season, just kind of doing two a like a.

0:16:30.400 --> 0:16:31.160
<v Speaker 12>Full time half.

0:16:31.840 --> 0:16:34.720
<v Speaker 11>Well, I think last year it was easier in the

0:16:34.760 --> 0:16:38.400
<v Speaker 11>sense of it was one inning, it was one inning,

0:16:38.480 --> 0:16:41.840
<v Speaker 11>it was two innings, two innings, and then you slowly

0:16:41.880 --> 0:16:43.680
<v Speaker 11>got to build up, so there wasn't much of a

0:16:43.880 --> 0:16:49.440
<v Speaker 11>tax on the hitting. I think now, you know, even tonight,

0:16:49.480 --> 0:16:53.680
<v Speaker 11>where we're looking at five six innings, there's more of

0:16:53.680 --> 0:16:56.760
<v Speaker 11>a tax to throw seventy five pitches versus one inning.

0:16:58.560 --> 0:17:05.800
<v Speaker 11>So but I feel that he's he's strong, he can,

0:17:05.840 --> 0:17:10.320
<v Speaker 11>he's conditioned to do it mentally physically, So yeah, I mean,

0:17:11.000 --> 0:17:12.600
<v Speaker 11>we'll see how it looks, but I think that it

0:17:12.680 --> 0:17:14.960
<v Speaker 11>is different, you know, like I've said a couple of times,

0:17:14.960 --> 0:17:17.040
<v Speaker 11>this is just a different jumping off point than we

0:17:17.119 --> 0:17:19.640
<v Speaker 11>had last year. But I think and it's a good thing, all.

0:17:19.640 --> 0:17:22.280
<v Speaker 3>Right, there's a manager Dave Roberts talking about show Hey Otani,

<v Speaker 4>We got your magical moment.

0:17:31.560 --> 0:17:33.960
<v Speaker 3>But up next we check in with David Vassey's we

0:18:00.800 --> 0:18:03.159
<v Speaker 3>to ten. Dodgers Baseball brought to you by El Pato

0:18:03.320 --> 0:18:04.560

<v Speaker 2>Can Joining Tim Kits on Dodgers on Deck.

0:18:09.520 --> 0:18:11.280
<v Speaker 13>I accept everybody for who they are.

0:18:11.359 --> 0:18:14.640
<v Speaker 2>This is Dodger insider David Bassi.

0:18:14.840 --> 0:18:16.080
<v Speaker 4>All right, DV here.

0:18:15.920 --> 0:18:18.959
<v Speaker 3>We are wrapping up the exhibition, the spring portion, if

0:18:19.000 --> 0:18:20.560
<v Speaker 3>you will of this Dodgers season.

0:18:20.880 --> 0:18:22.840
<v Speaker 4>Who do you think has had the best spring for

0:18:22.880 --> 0:18:23.480
<v Speaker 4>the Dodgers.

0:18:24.600 --> 0:18:27.639
<v Speaker 5>Well, there's a couple of guys that stand out the most.

0:18:27.800 --> 0:18:31.840
<v Speaker 5>Number one, James Tibbs the third. He's had an incredible spring.

0:18:31.880 --> 0:18:34.000
<v Speaker 5>You even seen some of it here in the first

0:18:34.000 --> 0:18:37.199
<v Speaker 5>two games of the Freeways series. But I feel like

0:18:37.280 --> 0:18:41.880
<v Speaker 5>that distinction has to go to Santiago Espinal because he

0:18:41.920 --> 0:18:44.880
<v Speaker 5>did not have a major league contract. The Dodgers brought

0:18:44.920 --> 0:18:47.359
<v Speaker 5>him in on a minor league contract and he made

0:18:47.359 --> 0:18:51.040
<v Speaker 5>the team. Now, obviously the injuries to Tommy Edmond and

0:18:51.080 --> 0:18:55.480
<v Speaker 5>Keik Hernandez played a part in the Dodgers having us

0:18:55.560 --> 0:18:58.800
<v Speaker 5>been all in camp, but also him performing the way

0:18:58.880 --> 0:19:03.320
<v Speaker 5>that they were envisioning to start the season, so he

0:19:03.359 --> 0:19:05.760
<v Speaker 5>would he would be at the top of my list

0:19:05.880 --> 0:19:06.879
<v Speaker 5>for those reasons.

0:19:07.400 --> 0:19:09.480
<v Speaker 3>David is brought to you by Ford. It's Ford Truck Month.

0:19:09.520 --> 0:19:10.960
<v Speaker 3>Now is the best time to get a Ford truck.

0:19:11.040 --> 0:19:13.919
<v Speaker 3>Hurry in because Ford Truck Month only happens once a year.

0:19:13.920 --> 0:19:17.159
<v Speaker 3>Ago to your Southern California Ford Dealers Today, Mookie Bets

0:19:17.160 --> 0:19:21.480
<v Speaker 3>we saw during the spring day using Yama Moto's workout program.

0:19:21.800 --> 0:19:23.240
<v Speaker 4>Is this something that's gonna continue?

0:19:24.359 --> 0:19:28.120
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, somewhat surreal to see it at Dodgers Stadium. It's

0:19:28.119 --> 0:19:30.399
<v Speaker 5>one thing to see it on you know, a side

0:19:30.440 --> 0:19:33.800
<v Speaker 5>grass field at camel Back Ranch, but to see him

0:19:33.920 --> 0:19:37.000
<v Speaker 5>make the effort to go out to left field where

0:19:37.000 --> 0:19:40.040
<v Speaker 5>all the pitchers are working out and for him to

0:19:40.160 --> 0:19:45.200
<v Speaker 5>throw those plastic darts for a lack of better term

0:19:45.400 --> 0:19:49.840
<v Speaker 5>for it. And you know, Yamamoto has his translator Hero

0:19:50.200 --> 0:19:54.119
<v Speaker 5>go pick up the darts because Yamamoto can throw it

0:19:54.200 --> 0:19:58.240
<v Speaker 5>from basically the foul line to center field. But Mookie

0:19:58.240 --> 0:20:00.600
<v Speaker 5>picks up his own darts, so he's getting cardio and

0:20:00.680 --> 0:20:03.040
<v Speaker 5>steps because he has nobody else to go get the

0:20:03.119 --> 0:20:05.440
<v Speaker 5>darts for him, so he does it himself.

0:20:06.040 --> 0:20:09.080
<v Speaker 3>David, any questions about this team you got going into

0:20:09.160 --> 0:20:11.080
<v Speaker 3>Opening Day on Thursday night.

0:20:12.280 --> 0:20:14.920
<v Speaker 5>The only one that stands out is who is going

0:20:14.960 --> 0:20:18.800
<v Speaker 5>to get a tough right handed hitter or two out

0:20:19.240 --> 0:20:23.280
<v Speaker 5>in the sixth or seventh inning not named Alex Vesia.

0:20:24.119 --> 0:20:26.720
<v Speaker 5>Is it going to be Blake Trinan, Is it going

0:20:26.760 --> 0:20:29.600
<v Speaker 5>to be benk Caspirius. Is it going to be Will Klein?

0:20:30.160 --> 0:20:33.320
<v Speaker 5>Because the Dodgers traded for brock Stewart because they felt

0:20:33.320 --> 0:20:36.600
<v Speaker 5>like they needed that last year, and they did, but

0:20:36.800 --> 0:20:41.000
<v Speaker 5>unfortunately he barely pitched. So he's starting the year on

0:20:41.040 --> 0:20:44.480
<v Speaker 5>the injured list again, and until he returns, I feel

0:20:44.520 --> 0:20:48.159
<v Speaker 5>like the Dodgers are looking for that guy to be

0:20:48.280 --> 0:20:51.760
<v Speaker 5>able to get a big time right handed bat out.

0:20:51.920 --> 0:20:55.040
<v Speaker 5>And look, Alex Vesia can get lefties and right he's out,

0:20:55.359 --> 0:20:58.560
<v Speaker 5>but he can't get every batter out. He can't pitch

0:20:58.640 --> 0:21:03.360
<v Speaker 5>every single relief opportunity, high leverage situation, and that's part

0:21:03.400 --> 0:21:05.560
<v Speaker 5>of the equation of Tanner Scott. It would be great

0:21:05.600 --> 0:21:08.439
<v Speaker 5>if Tanner Scott can't return to form to kind of

0:21:08.480 --> 0:21:11.800
<v Speaker 5>alleviate that situation as well. But that's my biggest question.

0:21:12.119 --> 0:21:14.680
<v Speaker 4>What about Roki Sasaki? David we a lot of question

0:21:14.720 --> 0:21:18.240
<v Speaker 4>marks after last night's third time in the spring he's

0:21:18.240 --> 0:21:19.760
<v Speaker 4>had to come out of a game and then re

0:21:19.960 --> 0:21:21.639
<v Speaker 4>entered in the following inning.

0:21:23.640 --> 0:21:25.879
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I don't know how. It just all of a

0:21:25.920 --> 0:21:30.719
<v Speaker 5>sudden clicks. Here's a stat that was alarming that I

0:21:30.840 --> 0:21:35.399
<v Speaker 5>saw today. The average in spring training for pitchers to

0:21:35.480 --> 0:21:39.360
<v Speaker 5>throw strikes was about forty nine percent of their pitches.

0:21:39.680 --> 0:21:43.800
<v Speaker 5>Roki Sasaki was in the thirty percent tile, well below

0:21:43.960 --> 0:21:47.359
<v Speaker 5>the median in spring training. This year, He's got to

0:21:47.400 --> 0:21:50.440
<v Speaker 5>throw strikes, and look, the Dodgers do have two pitchers

0:21:50.440 --> 0:21:54.560
<v Speaker 5>that are in the bullpen that can pitch multiple innings

0:21:54.600 --> 0:21:56.959
<v Speaker 5>and they're going to be on high alert.

0:21:57.240 --> 0:21:59.960
<v Speaker 13>They have to be. And that's Ben Casparius and justin.

0:22:00.640 --> 0:22:02.479
<v Speaker 4>No doubt about it, Dave. Great stuff. We'll check back

0:22:02.600 --> 0:22:04.520
<v Speaker 4>with you in just a couple of minutes. Still to come.

<v Speaker 7>Rick.

0:24:59.280 --> 0:25:02.080
<v Speaker 5>When you look at this Dodgers lineup tonight, it looks

0:25:02.119 --> 0:25:04.480
<v Speaker 5>like the opening day lineup. And do you feel like

0:25:04.600 --> 0:25:08.920
<v Speaker 5>Zach Gallon might be having some nightmares until five thirty

0:25:08.920 --> 0:25:09.600
<v Speaker 5>on Thursday.

0:25:09.720 --> 0:25:11.320
<v Speaker 9>I don't think he's having nightmares.

0:25:11.800 --> 0:25:14.520
<v Speaker 8>It may take place on Thursday, But if you're looking

0:25:14.600 --> 0:25:18.680
<v Speaker 8>at this lineup again tonight, o'tani dual purpose by the way,

0:25:18.680 --> 0:25:21.120
<v Speaker 8>in case anyone has missed it, both as a hitter,

0:25:21.200 --> 0:25:24.320
<v Speaker 8>the designated hitter, and he will be the starting pitcher.

0:25:24.680 --> 0:25:29.600
<v Speaker 8>Butt O'tani Tucker Benz, Freeman Smith Muncie, the Oscar Hernandez

0:25:29.960 --> 0:25:34.320
<v Speaker 8>Pahz and then Alex Friedland again. I start at second base,

0:25:34.640 --> 0:25:37.040
<v Speaker 8>and the question is going to be, are we in

0:25:37.080 --> 0:25:39.320
<v Speaker 8>fact looking at the starting lineup that we will see

0:25:39.359 --> 0:25:42.879
<v Speaker 8>on Thursday? Begin to get five thirty as if the

0:25:42.920 --> 0:25:46.040
<v Speaker 8>Dodgers officially open up the season. Arizona comes in, followed

0:25:46.040 --> 0:25:49.600
<v Speaker 8>by an off day on Sunday, strangely enough, and then

0:25:49.880 --> 0:25:52.320
<v Speaker 8>the Cleveland Guardians come in before the Dodgers turn and

0:25:52.359 --> 0:25:54.119
<v Speaker 8>go on their first road trips. They'll take them to

0:25:54.160 --> 0:25:57.280
<v Speaker 8>our nation's capital and up to Toronto, which should be

0:25:57.400 --> 0:26:01.639
<v Speaker 8>very interesting going up there as well. I like this

0:26:01.760 --> 0:26:04.840
<v Speaker 8>lineup a lot. I like this ball club a lot.

0:26:05.280 --> 0:26:08.320
<v Speaker 8>And wondering on what your impressions are because not only

0:26:08.359 --> 0:26:12.480
<v Speaker 8>free observations, but also with your conversations of the players.

0:26:12.560 --> 0:26:15.240
<v Speaker 8>During the Arizona portion of spring training.

0:26:15.240 --> 0:26:18.000
<v Speaker 5>Well number one, a lot of them were relieved at

0:26:18.040 --> 0:26:20.520
<v Speaker 5>the beginning that they had a normal spring training for

0:26:20.560 --> 0:26:24.120
<v Speaker 5>the first time in five or six years. But by

0:26:24.160 --> 0:26:26.159
<v Speaker 5>the end of it, they were ready to go and

0:26:26.320 --> 0:26:28.040
<v Speaker 5>ready to get this season started.

0:26:28.200 --> 0:26:30.639
<v Speaker 13>And to a man, they all.

0:26:30.520 --> 0:26:35.720
<v Speaker 5>Are embracing the opportunity to make history in three peete.

0:26:35.720 --> 0:26:38.280
<v Speaker 5>They are not shying away from that, and that sounds

0:26:38.359 --> 0:26:41.320
<v Speaker 5>like the Rick Monday Dodgers back in the seventies and eighties.

0:26:41.520 --> 0:26:44.600
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, well, you got a normal spring training, although the

0:26:44.720 --> 0:26:48.080
<v Speaker 8>WBC interrupted a lot of teams being together for a

0:26:48.119 --> 0:26:48.720
<v Speaker 8>period of time.

0:26:49.080 --> 0:26:49.600
<v Speaker 9>I agree.

0:26:50.040 --> 0:26:53.000
<v Speaker 8>I start to look at this ball club, and the

0:26:53.040 --> 0:26:57.480
<v Speaker 8>camveat is always how healthy do they remain, both the

0:26:57.560 --> 0:27:00.919
<v Speaker 8>starters and relievers. And if you look at the starting

0:27:01.119 --> 0:27:04.800
<v Speaker 8>lineup as well defensively, you know there are some teams

0:27:04.800 --> 0:27:07.800
<v Speaker 8>that are coming into this season already Atlanta Rays we

0:27:07.840 --> 0:27:10.960
<v Speaker 8>mentioned this last night, is that you know Strider is

0:27:11.000 --> 0:27:13.320
<v Speaker 8>going to be on the injured list with an oblique

0:27:13.320 --> 0:27:16.240
<v Speaker 8>Oblique could be what three weeks or three months, You

0:27:16.280 --> 0:27:19.639
<v Speaker 8>don't really know. They've got five potential starting pitchers that

0:27:19.680 --> 0:27:23.280
<v Speaker 8>are going to start on the injured list. Now, don't

0:27:23.320 --> 0:27:25.520
<v Speaker 8>believe for a second the doctors will not have people

0:27:25.600 --> 0:27:27.960
<v Speaker 8>on the injured list this year. It's going to happen.

0:27:28.400 --> 0:27:31.560
<v Speaker 8>But I also like the opportunities in the backup decisions

0:27:32.040 --> 0:27:35.360
<v Speaker 8>to replenish those that may be on the injured list.

0:27:35.560 --> 0:27:39.439
<v Speaker 5>Well, two guys that had incredible spring trainings are Andy

0:27:39.480 --> 0:27:43.359
<v Speaker 5>paj Has and Teoscar hernandez Rick. How much stock do

0:27:43.440 --> 0:27:46.720
<v Speaker 5>you put in spring training results? And what did you

0:27:46.760 --> 0:27:48.000
<v Speaker 5>think about those two guys?

0:27:48.040 --> 0:27:50.159
<v Speaker 8>If we were talking about younger players, I would go

0:27:50.160 --> 0:27:51.960
<v Speaker 8>to the old adage you never get too high on

0:27:52.000 --> 0:27:54.160
<v Speaker 8>a young player in spring trunning, and you never get

0:27:54.240 --> 0:27:57.720
<v Speaker 8>down too low about a player in spring truning. But

0:27:57.760 --> 0:28:01.600
<v Speaker 8>we're talking about guys that now tis veteran, no question

0:28:01.680 --> 0:28:04.560
<v Speaker 8>about it. Paz now is technically a veteran, but I

0:28:04.560 --> 0:28:07.320
<v Speaker 8>think he's learned more in the last year and a

0:28:07.320 --> 0:28:09.640
<v Speaker 8>half on what to do. A couple of things very

0:28:09.680 --> 0:28:13.440
<v Speaker 8>quickly about Pies and Taskar falls in the same category.

0:28:13.920 --> 0:28:17.200
<v Speaker 8>They both had trouble last year Paz earlier on for

0:28:17.359 --> 0:28:20.119
<v Speaker 8>Teo it lasted a little bit longer breaking balls away

0:28:20.200 --> 0:28:22.920
<v Speaker 8>from right handed pitchers to begin with it. I also

0:28:23.000 --> 0:28:25.360
<v Speaker 8>thought that Pies, if we look at his first year

0:28:25.440 --> 0:28:28.439
<v Speaker 8>versus last year of the full season, he learned his

0:28:28.480 --> 0:28:32.720
<v Speaker 8>striketh zone, in my opinion, much much more rapidly than

0:28:32.760 --> 0:28:36.000
<v Speaker 8>you may have with a younger player, in particular the

0:28:36.040 --> 0:28:39.360
<v Speaker 8>outer third of the plate, because he didn't really know

0:28:39.400 --> 0:28:42.240
<v Speaker 8>where that outside corner was located. I thought he got

0:28:42.240 --> 0:28:45.239
<v Speaker 8>a good grasp of that the second half of the

0:28:45.240 --> 0:28:47.880
<v Speaker 8>season last year, in particular the last quarter part of

0:28:47.920 --> 0:28:49.960
<v Speaker 8>the season, and so far this spring.

0:28:50.280 --> 0:28:51.800
<v Speaker 13>When you look at Piz, it's funny.

0:28:51.800 --> 0:28:54.240
<v Speaker 5>When I run into people on the streets Trick, they said,

0:28:54.240 --> 0:28:56.160
<v Speaker 5>do you think he's going to have a bounce back year?

0:28:56.320 --> 0:28:59.200
<v Speaker 5>I said, he hit twenty seven home runs last year.

0:28:59.440 --> 0:29:03.680
<v Speaker 5>You're only thinking about his first postseason, which obviously a

0:29:03.720 --> 0:29:05.120
<v Speaker 5>lot of young players struggle in.

0:29:05.320 --> 0:29:06.920
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, did they look at the average? Also?

0:29:07.120 --> 0:29:07.320
<v Speaker 11>Yeah?

0:29:07.400 --> 0:29:11.120
<v Speaker 8>Right, you know you hit you hit two eighty. Where

0:29:11.240 --> 0:29:13.560
<v Speaker 8>was Here's the other part too, what was his position

0:29:13.600 --> 0:29:17.320
<v Speaker 8>in the line up? You know, there's the run production

0:29:17.480 --> 0:29:20.840
<v Speaker 8>areas that tree had already been tickled by some other guys.

0:29:21.320 --> 0:29:24.160
<v Speaker 8>And if you're batting in the four or five, six

0:29:24.280 --> 0:29:26.800
<v Speaker 8>or seventh spot in this Dodger lineup, you're gonna have

0:29:26.840 --> 0:29:30.360
<v Speaker 8>a great opportunities, number of opportunities in my estimation, to

0:29:30.440 --> 0:29:33.200
<v Speaker 8>come on and hit with runners in scoring position, if

0:29:33.240 --> 0:29:35.360
<v Speaker 8>not just strictly runners on base.

0:29:35.400 --> 0:29:37.720
<v Speaker 13>Might be rockets reg Lair more nights than not.

0:29:37.880 --> 0:29:40.440
<v Speaker 9>Rick, Oh, you're feeling your oaks? You ready for Thursday?

0:29:40.520 --> 0:29:40.640
<v Speaker 7>Oh?

0:29:40.720 --> 0:29:42.760
<v Speaker 9>I'm so ready bringing on Opening Day?

0:29:42.960 --> 0:29:43.640

0:30:39.360 --> 0:30:43.080

0:30:43.160 --> 0:30:46.680
<v Speaker 2>a Dodger player, It's an engagement of endearment is high

0:30:46.760 --> 0:30:47.360
<v Speaker 2>and tugged.

0:30:48.160 --> 0:30:51.239
<v Speaker 5>It's the final game of the exhibition season for the

0:30:51.280 --> 0:30:55.520
<v Speaker 5>Dodgers and a great baseball man back in the Dodger organization.

0:30:55.720 --> 0:30:59.080
<v Speaker 5>Since he took over third base coaching during the twenty

0:30:59.160 --> 0:31:02.640
<v Speaker 5>fifteen Sea has remained in the organization and is a

0:31:02.800 --> 0:31:06.000
<v Speaker 5>very important voice for Andrew Friedman. That is the one

0:31:06.000 --> 0:31:09.480
<v Speaker 5>and only Ron Rennicky who just slap high fives with

0:31:09.520 --> 0:31:13.440
<v Speaker 5>the World Series MVP and opening day starter Yoshi Yamamoto.

0:31:13.560 --> 0:31:14.480
<v Speaker 13>Ron, thanks a lot.

0:31:14.280 --> 0:31:14.760
<v Speaker 7>For the time.

0:31:14.880 --> 0:31:17.600
<v Speaker 13>Oh sure, anytime you've seen a lot of baseball, Ron.

0:31:17.640 --> 0:31:18.960
<v Speaker 13>We were just talking about this.

0:31:19.400 --> 0:31:22.240
<v Speaker 5>Have you ever seen a picture do what Yamamoto did

0:31:22.280 --> 0:31:23.680
<v Speaker 5>in last year's postseason?

0:31:24.040 --> 0:31:25.520
<v Speaker 13>No, we were just.

0:31:25.440 --> 0:31:28.080
<v Speaker 12>Talking watching Nuoki out there trying to throw the dark

0:31:28.160 --> 0:31:31.400
<v Speaker 12>psych Yamamoto was doing last year, and I you know,

0:31:31.880 --> 0:31:35.200
<v Speaker 12>for a guy physically to do that and then bounce

0:31:35.280 --> 0:31:37.760
<v Speaker 12>back the next year and hopefully he stays healthy all

0:31:37.840 --> 0:31:41.040
<v Speaker 12>year this year, but pretty incredible. So so whatever he's

0:31:41.080 --> 0:31:44.360
<v Speaker 12>doing physically in his workouts, which is pretty fun to

0:31:44.440 --> 0:31:48.800
<v Speaker 12>watch him do all that is amazing and really keeping

0:31:48.840 --> 0:31:52.640
<v Speaker 12>a body that's not this huge guy in a place

0:31:52.680 --> 0:31:55.040
<v Speaker 12>where physically nobody else can do.

0:31:55.480 --> 0:31:57.720
<v Speaker 5>I guess we also forget the fact that during that

0:31:57.840 --> 0:32:01.440
<v Speaker 5>eighteen inning game of Game three, he was warming up

0:32:01.440 --> 0:32:03.960
<v Speaker 5>in the bullpen. I feel like we forget that part

0:32:04.000 --> 0:32:05.200
<v Speaker 5>of the equation as well.

0:32:05.720 --> 0:32:10.680
<v Speaker 12>Yeah, pretty amazing, obviously great year, but just physically to

0:32:10.720 --> 0:32:13.600
<v Speaker 12>be able to do that, And you know, I think

0:32:13.640 --> 0:32:16.360
<v Speaker 12>everybody's trying to figure out how do we keep players healthy?

0:32:16.480 --> 0:32:20.360
<v Speaker 12>And when you see something like that, that's when you

0:32:20.400 --> 0:32:22.800
<v Speaker 12>get Mookie out there throwing the dark side. He was

0:32:22.880 --> 0:32:26.960
<v Speaker 12>so but it's a big problem I think now in

0:32:27.920 --> 0:32:31.440
<v Speaker 12>the major leagues is keeping people healthy. We know if

0:32:31.480 --> 0:32:34.040
<v Speaker 12>we do it, we've got a great team, and other

0:32:34.120 --> 0:32:35.200
<v Speaker 12>teams feel the same way.

0:32:35.920 --> 0:32:38.760
<v Speaker 5>When you talk about that and Yamamoto and how it

0:32:38.880 --> 0:32:42.520
<v Speaker 5>relates to staying healthy, it seems like the Japanese pitchers

0:32:42.640 --> 0:32:46.280
<v Speaker 5>still believe in what major league pitchers used to believe

0:32:46.320 --> 0:32:47.120
<v Speaker 5>thirty years ago.

0:32:47.480 --> 0:32:50.360
<v Speaker 13>The more you throw, the more you're going.

0:32:50.200 --> 0:32:53.480
<v Speaker 5>To be prepared to endure one hundred and sixty two

0:32:53.480 --> 0:32:54.840
<v Speaker 5>game season thirty starts.

0:32:55.120 --> 0:32:58.920
<v Speaker 12>Yeah. Yeah, it's hard to say which one is the

0:32:59.000 --> 0:33:04.840
<v Speaker 12>right way to go. But whatever we're doing now, it

0:33:04.880 --> 0:33:09.040
<v Speaker 12>doesn't seem to be working real well, and everybody realizes

0:33:09.120 --> 0:33:12.720
<v Speaker 12>it's because guys are throwing harder, they're spinning the ball harder.

0:33:12.880 --> 0:33:15.959
<v Speaker 12>There's way more effort into it. But how do we

0:33:16.200 --> 0:33:18.800
<v Speaker 12>physically train them to be able to do that and

0:33:18.840 --> 0:33:23.760
<v Speaker 12>still hold up through a really long season? And it's difficult.

0:33:23.920 --> 0:33:28.160
<v Speaker 12>So I think anytime you see something that works, let's

0:33:28.200 --> 0:33:31.240
<v Speaker 12>try it and see and see how it goes. If

0:33:31.280 --> 0:33:34.560
<v Speaker 12>it works, great, and I don't think there's any harm

0:33:34.560 --> 0:33:35.360
<v Speaker 12>in doing it.

0:33:35.480 --> 0:33:37.680
<v Speaker 5>Ron Rennicky as our guest. He was part of the

0:33:37.720 --> 0:33:40.840
<v Speaker 5>Dodgers that took down the Big Red Machine in the

0:33:40.880 --> 0:33:44.920
<v Speaker 5>early eighties after their dominance in the seventies. You've seen

0:33:45.120 --> 0:33:47.600
<v Speaker 5>the A's of the mid seventies win three in a row.

0:33:47.760 --> 0:33:50.880
<v Speaker 5>You saw the Yankees twenty six years ago win three

0:33:50.880 --> 0:33:53.920
<v Speaker 5>in a row. What is it about this Dodger team

0:33:53.960 --> 0:33:57.120
<v Speaker 5>that has them believing that they can do that as well?

0:33:57.920 --> 0:34:02.120
<v Speaker 12>Well? Certainly it starts with the talent of the players.

0:34:02.240 --> 0:34:05.000
<v Speaker 12>I mean you look at the lineup. I was looking

0:34:05.040 --> 0:34:07.040
<v Speaker 12>at it two nights ago and I was like, I

0:34:07.080 --> 0:34:09.719
<v Speaker 12>don't want to pitch to that lineup. And you look

0:34:09.760 --> 0:34:13.080
<v Speaker 12>at our starting staff, you look at the bullpen. So

0:34:13.560 --> 0:34:17.160
<v Speaker 12>physically we have the tools to be able to do that,

0:34:17.760 --> 0:34:20.160
<v Speaker 12>and then the mental part of it, which you know,

0:34:20.360 --> 0:34:22.520
<v Speaker 12>I get to see because I'm here with him and

0:34:22.960 --> 0:34:26.560
<v Speaker 12>get to see what happens underneath. Is a special group

0:34:26.600 --> 0:34:28.880
<v Speaker 12>of guys. It's a group of guys that understand how

0:34:28.920 --> 0:34:32.440
<v Speaker 12>to win, how to prepare to win, and that comes

0:34:32.440 --> 0:34:34.560
<v Speaker 12>in all different phases. I talk about Mooki and how

0:34:34.560 --> 0:34:37.200
<v Speaker 12>he prepares well. Other guys can't physically do what he does,

0:34:37.840 --> 0:34:40.040
<v Speaker 12>so other guys prepare in a different way, And it's

0:34:40.080 --> 0:34:43.319
<v Speaker 12>just trying to figure out in each individual what you

0:34:43.400 --> 0:34:45.120
<v Speaker 12>need to give this guy to be ready to play

0:34:45.120 --> 0:34:47.040
<v Speaker 12>a game and to play for one sixty.

0:34:46.719 --> 0:34:49.040
<v Speaker 5>Two there he is a member of the book club.

0:34:49.080 --> 0:34:52.040
<v Speaker 5>I got to get some books from Ron Renicky. Yes,

0:34:52.640 --> 0:34:54.520
<v Speaker 5>Ron Renicky has been our guest, Tim. We'll send it

0:34:54.520 --> 0:34:55.320
<v Speaker 5>back to you in the studio.

0:34:55.360 --> 0:34:56.359
<v Speaker 4>All right, thanks a lot, DV.

0:34:56.520 --> 0:34:58.480
<v Speaker 3>Great to hear Ron Renicky's voice, one of the good

0:34:58.520 --> 0:35:01.760
<v Speaker 3>guys in baseball. We have to first pitch Dodgers and Angels.

0:35:02.320 --> 0:35:05.000
<v Speaker 3>It's the final game with the Freeway Series starts for

0:35:05.080 --> 0:35:07.480
<v Speaker 3>real on Thursday. Show Hey O tany on the man

0:35:07.520 --> 0:35:10.200
<v Speaker 3>will dive deep into the pitching matchup next. I'm Tim Kases,

0:35:10.200 --> 0:35:12.640
<v Speaker 3>the back to back world champion Dodgers Audio Network.

0:35:16.120 --> 0:35:21.320
<v Speaker 2>This is Morongo Cassino Dodgers Hunters game on your home

0:35:21.360 --> 0:35:23.320
<v Speaker 2>for La Dodgers Baseball.

0:35:24.239 --> 0:35:28.880
<v Speaker 3>It's the Dodgers and the Angels. The Freeway Series final

0:35:28.920 --> 0:35:31.000
<v Speaker 3>matchup between these two teams will see each other in

0:35:31.080 --> 0:35:34.480
<v Speaker 3>the regular season, of course, but exhibition style final matchup

0:35:34.520 --> 0:35:35.160
<v Speaker 3>between the two.

0:35:35.520 --> 0:35:37.200
<v Speaker 4>First pitch coming up at five to ten.

0:35:37.880 --> 0:35:41.439
<v Speaker 2>And now before the Dodgers hit the dinet, we look

0:35:41.480 --> 0:35:42.600
<v Speaker 2>at the pitching.

0:35:42.320 --> 0:35:45.120
<v Speaker 3>Matchup presented by your Toyota Dealers.

0:35:45.160 --> 0:35:46.960
<v Speaker 4>We make it easy.

0:35:47.280 --> 0:35:50.440
<v Speaker 3>Jack Howanowitz on the mound for the Angels actually been

0:35:50.480 --> 0:35:52.399
<v Speaker 3>really good for them since he made his major league

0:35:52.400 --> 0:35:53.760
<v Speaker 3>debut in twenty twenty four.

0:35:54.200 --> 0:35:55.360
<v Speaker 4>Last year, he was solid.

0:35:55.400 --> 0:35:57.640
<v Speaker 3>The twenty five year old right hender six foot seven,

0:35:57.880 --> 0:36:00.719
<v Speaker 3>two hundred and thirty pounds, a third round pick of

0:36:00.760 --> 0:36:02.840
<v Speaker 3>the Angels at a high school in Pennsylvania back in

0:36:02.840 --> 0:36:05.880
<v Speaker 3>twenty nineteen, made his major league debut hes mentioned in

0:36:05.920 --> 0:36:08.400
<v Speaker 3>twenty four last year, really burst onto the scene. He

0:36:08.480 --> 0:36:11.560
<v Speaker 3>was top five amongst a major American league pitchers with

0:36:11.640 --> 0:36:14.480
<v Speaker 3>the fastball over ninety three miles an hour constantly. He

0:36:14.560 --> 0:36:17.120
<v Speaker 3>earned the win in his only career regular season start

0:36:17.120 --> 0:36:19.000
<v Speaker 3>against the Dodgers that was May sixteenth.

0:36:19.400 --> 0:36:19.960
<v Speaker 4>Last year.

0:36:20.000 --> 0:36:22.520
<v Speaker 3>He went six and two third innings, allowed one ear

0:36:22.560 --> 0:36:24.960
<v Speaker 3>and run, five hits, struck out five. He also faced

0:36:25.000 --> 0:36:28.120
<v Speaker 3>the Dodgers in spring training last year in the Freeway Series.

0:36:28.160 --> 0:36:29.160
<v Speaker 4>He was really good there.

0:36:29.520 --> 0:36:32.920
<v Speaker 3>Seven innings, two runs, two hits, three strikeouts. So he's

0:36:32.920 --> 0:36:35.160
<v Speaker 3>faced the Dodgers a couple of times and been pretty

0:36:35.200 --> 0:36:37.279
<v Speaker 3>good no matter who's in the lineup. Last year, he

0:36:37.360 --> 0:36:40.360
<v Speaker 3>ranked fourth in the American League with fifty two percent

0:36:40.400 --> 0:36:43.200
<v Speaker 3>ground ball rate. A fifty four percent ground ball rate

0:36:43.480 --> 0:36:45.760
<v Speaker 3>is really good amongst top three and all of baseball

0:36:45.800 --> 0:36:48.200
<v Speaker 3>as well, not just the American League. He's going up

0:36:48.239 --> 0:36:51.240
<v Speaker 3>against show Hey Otani, so a really good pitching matchup

0:36:51.239 --> 0:36:54.040
<v Speaker 3>here in the final game of the Freeway Series. Otani

0:36:54.080 --> 0:36:57.000
<v Speaker 3>thirty one years old, year three going into now with

0:36:57.040 --> 0:36:59.799
<v Speaker 3>the Dodgers. Remember he played in the WBC but did

0:36:59.840 --> 0:37:03.040
<v Speaker 3>not pitch, was just the hitter for the team Japan.

0:37:03.440 --> 0:37:06.440
<v Speaker 3>Made his second making the second spring training start tonight.

0:37:06.520 --> 0:37:08.680
<v Speaker 3>You only got one outing. That was against the Giants

0:37:09.000 --> 0:37:11.879
<v Speaker 3>last week at camel Back Ranch. Remember he went four

0:37:11.920 --> 0:37:15.760
<v Speaker 3>to third scoreless innings while striking out four and walking

0:37:15.840 --> 0:37:19.439
<v Speaker 3>to last season, Show Hey Otani didn't get a really

0:37:19.520 --> 0:37:21.800
<v Speaker 3>go until midway through the year because of the slow

0:37:21.840 --> 0:37:24.600
<v Speaker 3>start in fourteen starts, one in one with the two

0:37:24.600 --> 0:37:27.880
<v Speaker 3>to eighty seven r ray, forty seven innings, pitch sixty

0:37:27.920 --> 0:37:31.719
<v Speaker 3>two strikeouts only nine walks in the regular season. He

0:37:31.800 --> 0:37:35.040
<v Speaker 3>also saw his first postseason pitching experience last year, going

0:37:35.040 --> 0:37:38.399
<v Speaker 3>two to one with a four to forty three RORA

0:37:39.000 --> 0:37:43.120
<v Speaker 3>in four starts in October. So show hey Otani and

0:37:43.200 --> 0:37:46.719
<v Speaker 3>his final tune up here of the exhibition season, Dave

0:37:46.800 --> 0:37:49.680
<v Speaker 3>Roberts saying earlier they expect him to get these five

0:37:49.840 --> 0:37:53.960
<v Speaker 3>six innings somewhere around seventy five pitches for show hey Otani.

0:37:54.360 --> 0:37:58.600
<v Speaker 3>Jakohonowitz again really good big right hander going for the Angels,

0:37:58.600 --> 0:38:00.719
<v Speaker 3>and what will be the final game for both these

0:38:00.760 --> 0:38:04.560
<v Speaker 3>two teams. Wrapping up the exhibition partion of the season.

<v Speaker 3>tomorrow night. One game, a solo game in San Francisco

0:38:22.400 --> 0:38:26.239

<v Speaker 3>last night, seven to seven. That was an interesting finish

0:39:18.200 --> 0:39:20.520
<v Speaker 3>as the Dodgers young pups came back and made it

0:39:20.560 --> 0:39:22.640

<v Speaker 1>We count you down to the first pitch here tonight

0:40:33.920 --> 0:40:37.080
<v Speaker 1>at Dodgers Stadium, Dodgers and Angels final game with his

0:40:37.160 --> 0:40:41.320
<v Speaker 1>three game Freeways series Show. Hey, Otani makes the start.

0:40:41.360 --> 0:40:42.960
<v Speaker 1>He's also going to be the d H and lead

0:40:43.000 --> 0:40:45.520
<v Speaker 1>off in the bottom of the first inning. Jack cohanowit's

0:40:45.560 --> 0:40:47.440
<v Speaker 1>going for the Angels first for Show.

0:40:47.440 --> 0:40:47.640
<v Speaker 9>Hey.

0:40:48.320 --> 0:40:51.120
<v Speaker 1>He'll make just his second spring training start. But he

0:40:51.120 --> 0:40:53.040
<v Speaker 1>had been throwing on the side, and he also threw

0:40:53.080 --> 0:40:57.200
<v Speaker 1>a four inning simulated game against Team Japan, his teammates

0:40:57.200 --> 0:41:00.360
<v Speaker 1>when they were in Miami. He is stretched out to

0:41:00.520 --> 0:41:03.000
<v Speaker 1>about five innings seventy five pitches. He could go a

0:41:03.040 --> 0:41:06.080
<v Speaker 1>little bit more tonight through sixty one in his first

0:41:06.080 --> 0:41:08.960
<v Speaker 1>start against the Giants on the eighteenth of March, and

0:41:09.000 --> 0:41:09.359
<v Speaker 1>boy did.

0:41:09.360 --> 0:41:09.879
<v Speaker 7>He looked good.

0:41:10.200 --> 0:41:13.000
<v Speaker 8>He looked good and tonight how far his stretches it

0:41:13.000 --> 0:41:15.520
<v Speaker 8>out depends on how well he feels in this area.

0:41:15.719 --> 0:41:17.920
<v Speaker 8>Make no mistake about it. We've been a good lineup

0:41:17.960 --> 0:41:20.840
<v Speaker 8>for the Dodgers, maybe the opening day lineup on Thursday.

0:41:20.880 --> 0:41:23.360
<v Speaker 8>But I'll say one thing about the lineup we see tonight.

0:41:23.800 --> 0:41:26.280
<v Speaker 8>By the ninth inning when this game is over, probably

0:41:26.400 --> 0:41:29.399
<v Speaker 8>majority of the lineup for the Dodgers starting. They could

0:41:29.440 --> 0:41:32.040
<v Speaker 8>probably be in a restaurant having nice dinner because I

0:41:32.040 --> 0:41:34.040
<v Speaker 8>think it's going to be two advanced in Fly out

0:41:34.040 --> 0:41:34.960
<v Speaker 8>of Here tonight.

0:41:34.760 --> 0:41:37.560
<v Speaker 7>One two barbecues. Absolutely, it's gonna be it. Okay.

0:41:38.600 --> 0:41:41.280
<v Speaker 1>Jack co Honowitz a young right hander twenty five years

0:41:41.320 --> 0:41:44.160
<v Speaker 1>of age. He is the guy that the Angels are

0:41:44.200 --> 0:41:46.600
<v Speaker 1>looking toward. I mean he last year spent most of

0:41:46.640 --> 0:41:50.439
<v Speaker 1>the season in Salt Lake. He did have twenty three

0:41:50.480 --> 0:41:55.160
<v Speaker 1>appearances with the Angels. Last year I went three and eleven,

0:41:55.200 --> 0:41:57.520
<v Speaker 1>and the Angels looking for him to improve. So Kohanawitz

0:41:57.520 --> 0:42:00.720
<v Speaker 1>against Otani. That's the pitching matchup as we get ready

0:42:00.719 --> 0:42:04.800
<v Speaker 1>for the final spring training exhibition game from Dodger Stadium.

0:42:04.840 --> 0:42:07.720
<v Speaker 3>Tim all right, first pitch right around the corner, Show

0:42:07.760 --> 0:42:10.400
<v Speaker 3>hey o Tani on the mount and his final tune up.

0:42:10.600 --> 0:42:12.239
<v Speaker 4>Then he'll be ready to go. Oh yeah.

0:42:12.239 --> 0:42:15.120
<v Speaker 3>He also hits for the Dodgers as well, batting lead

0:42:15.120 --> 0:42:18.080
<v Speaker 3>off tonight. How long will we see the starters out there? Well,

0:42:18.160 --> 0:42:20.399
<v Speaker 3>maybe a spin or two around the lineup, and then

0:42:20.680 --> 0:42:22.759
<v Speaker 3>we'll see a bunch of young Dodgers out there trying

0:42:22.800 --> 0:42:25.319
<v Speaker 3>to work their way to Dodger Stadium someday as the

0:42:25.360 --> 0:42:29.320
<v Speaker 3>Dodgers wrap up the Freeway Series, wrap up the exhibition

0:42:29.440 --> 0:42:31.560
<v Speaker 3>part of the season, and then they'll be ready to

0:42:31.600 --> 0:42:35.320
<v Speaker 3>go to defend their back to back championship on Thursday

0:42:35.640 --> 0:42:38.880
<v Speaker 3>against the Arizona Diamondbacks. First things first, let's wrap up

0:42:38.880 --> 0:42:39.800
<v Speaker 3>this Freeway Series.

0:42:39.960 --> 0:42:41.359
<v Speaker 4>First pitch is next.

0:42:41.080 --> 0:42:44.160
