<v Speaker 3>Incredible and while others make excuses.

0:00:12.360 --> 0:00:14.520
<v Speaker 2>The only reason that Dodgers are doing this because they

0:00:14.520 --> 0:00:15.480
<v Speaker 2>can they print money.

0:00:15.480 --> 0:00:17.360
<v Speaker 1>The Dodgers just can't continue.

0:00:17.400 --> 0:00:18.160
<v Speaker 4>It's not fair.

0:00:18.360 --> 0:00:19.480
<v Speaker 1>Are making plans.

0:00:20.079 --> 0:00:25.279

<v Speaker 4>also head over to the Galloping Ford broadcast with Tim

0:01:46.600 --> 0:01:49.760
<v Speaker 4>Nevert and Rick Monday in just a few minutes. Well,

0:01:49.800 --> 0:01:52.880
<v Speaker 4>last night it was the home debut of Trek Scooble.

0:01:53.120 --> 0:01:55.240
<v Speaker 4>A lot of excitement to have the two times sty

0:01:55.320 --> 0:01:58.360
<v Speaker 4>Young Award winner pitching for the Dodgers. However, his start

0:01:58.600 --> 0:02:01.240
<v Speaker 4>didn't go exactly as play and Schooble got into trouble

0:02:01.240 --> 0:02:04.160
<v Speaker 4>in the first a leadoff single. Two batters later, Jack

0:02:04.240 --> 0:02:07.640
<v Speaker 4>kagleon an RBI single, Royals with a one to nothing lead.

0:02:07.760 --> 0:02:10.639
<v Speaker 4>Then in the third, Schooble got into trouble again a

0:02:10.720 --> 0:02:13.200
<v Speaker 4>one out double. Two batters later, kag Leon with a

0:02:13.240 --> 0:02:15.280
<v Speaker 4>two run home run to right center field into the

0:02:15.280 --> 0:02:18.200
<v Speaker 4>pavilion and the Kansas City Royals had a three to

0:02:18.200 --> 0:02:22.280
<v Speaker 4>nothing lead. The Dodgers offense, meanwhile, needed a few innings

0:02:22.280 --> 0:02:25.600
<v Speaker 4>to get going against Royal starter Noah Cameron Hunter Ferdusia

0:02:25.680 --> 0:02:29.880
<v Speaker 4>a leadoff double. Next batter, show Hey o'tany changed spots

0:02:29.919 --> 0:02:32.480
<v Speaker 4>with a Fadusia hitting an RBI double, Dodgers on the

0:02:32.480 --> 0:02:35.880
<v Speaker 4>board down three to one. Two batters later, Freddie Freeman

0:02:35.960 --> 0:02:38.400
<v Speaker 4>made it a three to two game with an RBI

0:02:38.520 --> 0:02:41.400
<v Speaker 4>single to left scoring show Hey. Then in the sixth,

0:02:41.440 --> 0:02:43.600
<v Speaker 4>the Dodgers with one of those big innings like they've

0:02:43.639 --> 0:02:47.400
<v Speaker 4>had all season long, Freddie Freeman leadoff single, Tommy edmonfielder's choice.

0:02:47.480 --> 0:02:50.400
<v Speaker 4>Two batters later, Miguel Rojasa double the left. After a

0:02:50.440 --> 0:02:54.160
<v Speaker 4>pitching change, Kyle Tucker drew walk that loaded the bases

0:02:54.280 --> 0:02:56.959
<v Speaker 4>for the man who had a bobblehead. Last night, Max

0:02:57.040 --> 0:03:01.120
<v Speaker 4>Bunzie in that three quarter motion was not easy to track.

0:03:02.720 --> 0:03:05.280
<v Speaker 1>Here's the one too line.

0:03:05.160 --> 0:03:09.040
<v Speaker 6>Drive BEA's hit into the right field corner in the

0:03:09.120 --> 0:03:14.480
<v Speaker 6>score is Edmond, here comes Rohas, and here comes Tucker.

0:03:15.720 --> 0:03:19.440
<v Speaker 6>A face is clear and ten hits doubles from Max Mundzie.

0:03:24.520 --> 0:03:27.520
<v Speaker 7>Of course it was It's Max Munsey's bible.

0:03:27.520 --> 0:03:28.119
<v Speaker 1>Ahead night.

0:03:28.880 --> 0:03:31.640
<v Speaker 4>How about that he clears the benches with one swing

0:03:31.720 --> 0:03:34.600
<v Speaker 4>of the bat. Dodgers flipped the scoreboards that at five

0:03:34.639 --> 0:03:37.160
<v Speaker 4>to three lead. Trek Scoopel with the five Indians, allowed

0:03:37.200 --> 0:03:39.520
<v Speaker 4>three runs on four hits while striking out six along

0:03:39.560 --> 0:03:42.320
<v Speaker 4>the way. He would not factor in the decision. Last night,

0:03:42.360 --> 0:03:44.440
<v Speaker 4>Dodgers with the lead in the seventh, Jack Dryer on

0:03:44.480 --> 0:03:47.040
<v Speaker 4>the mound, He would give up a two run home run,

0:03:47.160 --> 0:03:50.000
<v Speaker 4>tying the game at five. In the bottom of the inning,

0:03:50.040 --> 0:03:53.160
<v Speaker 4>though the Dodgers would answer back show Hey a leadoff single.

0:03:53.400 --> 0:03:56.440
<v Speaker 4>He stole second to get into scoring position. Two batters later,

0:03:56.760 --> 0:03:57.960
<v Speaker 4>Freddy Freeman.

0:03:58.840 --> 0:04:04.320
<v Speaker 2>Three ball, two strike to Freddy Freeman, and Freddy swings,

0:04:04.400 --> 0:04:04.920
<v Speaker 2>rips it on.

0:04:04.840 --> 0:04:06.040
<v Speaker 4>The ground right field.

0:04:05.760 --> 0:04:06.240
<v Speaker 1>Of base hit.

0:04:06.400 --> 0:04:09.600
<v Speaker 2>They're gonna send Otony. He comes around third. Here comes

0:04:09.640 --> 0:04:11.600
<v Speaker 2>the turn of the plate. That's off the Marco Tony

0:04:11.680 --> 0:04:14.880
<v Speaker 2>scores down to second. Freeman is out trying to extend,

0:04:15.280 --> 0:04:17.160
<v Speaker 2>but the run comes in of the Dodgers take a

0:04:17.320 --> 0:04:24.120
<v Speaker 2>six to five lead, an RBI single for Freddy Freeman

0:04:24.960 --> 0:04:26.479
<v Speaker 2>his second run banded.

0:04:26.200 --> 0:04:27.000
<v Speaker 1>Into the ballgame.

0:04:27.680 --> 0:04:30.640
<v Speaker 4>RBI single for Freddy. He had three hits last night,

0:04:30.720 --> 0:04:32.800
<v Speaker 4>none bigger than that one. That is the top tier

0:04:32.839 --> 0:04:34.480
<v Speaker 4>play of the game, brought to you by Arco quality,

0:04:34.520 --> 0:04:37.479
<v Speaker 4>top tier gass for less Dodgers a six to five lead,

0:04:37.560 --> 0:04:39.719
<v Speaker 4>can they hang on ten? Or Scott got the eighth,

0:04:39.880 --> 0:04:41.760
<v Speaker 4>he put up a zero and when Diez got the

0:04:41.880 --> 0:04:44.560
<v Speaker 4>ninth and he put up a zero. Dodgers with a

0:04:44.600 --> 0:04:47.080
<v Speaker 4>comeback win over the Royals last night, six to five

0:04:47.160 --> 0:04:49.640
<v Speaker 4>the final. With the win, the Dodgers now seventy one

0:04:49.680 --> 0:04:51.880
<v Speaker 4>and forty eight on this season, first place atop the

0:04:52.000 --> 0:04:54.400
<v Speaker 4>NL West. Tonight, they look to do it again with

0:04:54.440 --> 0:04:56.839
<v Speaker 4>a Royal flush. Blake Snell on the mount as he

0:04:56.880 --> 0:05:00.440
<v Speaker 4>makes his first start in three months. First pitch Uniclow

0:05:00.480 --> 0:05:02.320
<v Speaker 4>Field the Dodger Stadium is coming up at seven ten

0:05:02.360 --> 0:05:04.120
<v Speaker 4>and with more we head over to the gallop before

0:05:04.160 --> 0:05:07.039
<v Speaker 4>broadcast booth as we say hello to Tim Neverett and

0:05:07.120 --> 0:05:09.839
<v Speaker 4>Rick Monday, guys, Tim, thanks very much.

0:05:09.880 --> 0:05:12.920
<v Speaker 2>A nice night here at Uniclow Field at Dodgers Stadium.

0:05:12.960 --> 0:05:15.479
<v Speaker 2>Slight breeze cooling things down a bit from the last

0:05:15.520 --> 0:05:18.719
<v Speaker 2>couple of days. Dodgers looking for back to back wins

0:05:18.760 --> 0:05:22.160
<v Speaker 2>as they won Game one last night by a six

0:05:22.240 --> 0:05:25.040
<v Speaker 2>to five score. Freddie Freeman with a goal ahead RBI

0:05:25.640 --> 0:05:28.200
<v Speaker 2>in the bottom of the seventh scoring show Hey Otani,

0:05:28.760 --> 0:05:31.840
<v Speaker 2>And tonight, Blake Snell makes his return after a three

0:05:31.960 --> 0:05:35.680
<v Speaker 2>month stint on the injured list. Snell is zero to one.

0:05:35.760 --> 0:05:38.520
<v Speaker 2>He's had just one start for the Dodgers this year,

0:05:39.000 --> 0:05:42.200
<v Speaker 2>and tonight we'll make just his thirteenth start in a

0:05:42.240 --> 0:05:45.440
<v Speaker 2>Dodger uniform. Michael Walker will be his mold opponent, the

0:05:45.520 --> 0:05:48.120
<v Speaker 2>veteran right hander five and eight with a three four

0:05:48.160 --> 0:05:53.240
<v Speaker 2>to four ERA for the Royals. The Dodgers have had

0:05:53.279 --> 0:05:55.960
<v Speaker 2>a power outage more. They have gone back to back

0:05:56.000 --> 0:05:58.080
<v Speaker 2>games now without hitting a home run. The last time

0:05:58.120 --> 0:06:01.360
<v Speaker 2>they did that May seventeenth and eighteenth against the Angels

0:06:01.880 --> 0:06:04.960
<v Speaker 2>and Padres in the last game of a series against

0:06:05.200 --> 0:06:08.200
<v Speaker 2>the Angels in the first game against San Diego, So

0:06:08.240 --> 0:06:09.880
<v Speaker 2>they need to see if they can get the power

0:06:09.920 --> 0:06:10.560
<v Speaker 2>back going.

0:06:10.440 --> 0:06:14.080
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, they had some mispuiers as far as the long Bowl,

0:06:14.160 --> 0:06:16.239
<v Speaker 7>and they continue to hit into ground bowl double plays

0:06:16.279 --> 0:06:18.640
<v Speaker 7>on top of that. One more last night the highest

0:06:18.760 --> 0:06:21.880
<v Speaker 7>total of double plays by any team in baseball so

0:06:22.000 --> 0:06:25.200
<v Speaker 7>far this season. But I think the big key may be, hey,

0:06:25.920 --> 0:06:27.599
<v Speaker 7>have one of your big guys in the lineup, have

0:06:27.640 --> 0:06:31.080
<v Speaker 7>a bobblehead night, because last night Max Munsey bobblehead. He

0:06:31.200 --> 0:06:34.080
<v Speaker 7>delivered the three run to double in the sixth inning

0:06:34.080 --> 0:06:37.080
<v Speaker 7>that gave the Dodgers the edge. Really that stood up

0:06:37.080 --> 0:06:40.040
<v Speaker 7>for the victory. But tonight kind of odd because the Dodgers,

0:06:40.040 --> 0:06:42.400
<v Speaker 7>believe it or not. I'm seeking to go back to

0:06:42.480 --> 0:06:45.680
<v Speaker 7>back wins for the first time in almost two weeks.

0:06:45.680 --> 0:06:48.080
<v Speaker 7>It was back on July twenty ninth and thirtieth the

0:06:48.120 --> 0:06:49.320
<v Speaker 7>Dodgers won two in a row.

0:06:49.560 --> 0:06:52.200
<v Speaker 2>Freddie Freeman bats second tonight. He's going to move up

0:06:52.240 --> 0:06:55.320
<v Speaker 2>to that spot against the right hander Waka Dave Roberts

0:06:55.400 --> 0:06:57.880
<v Speaker 2>telling us a little while ago that that's something we

0:06:57.960 --> 0:07:00.080
<v Speaker 2>could be seeing a lot more of, having a so

0:07:00.160 --> 0:07:02.200
<v Speaker 2>TONI and Freeman hit back to back at the top

0:07:02.240 --> 0:07:02.640
<v Speaker 2>of the order.

0:07:02.720 --> 0:07:05.240
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, and I think trying to set the stage and Freeman,

0:07:05.279 --> 0:07:07.679
<v Speaker 7>there's no question about it. The last seventeen games, boys,

0:07:07.720 --> 0:07:10.080
<v Speaker 7>he'd been a house on fire, hitting at four thirty nineties,

0:07:10.120 --> 0:07:12.880
<v Speaker 7>also eight for fifteen with a home run, winning his

0:07:12.960 --> 0:07:15.440
<v Speaker 7>face walk in the past. But that's not the only

0:07:15.520 --> 0:07:18.720
<v Speaker 7>juggling in that lineup. Tucker will bat in the fourth spot,

0:07:19.280 --> 0:07:22.520
<v Speaker 7>Bets gets moved down to the sixth spot, Edmund is

0:07:22.560 --> 0:07:25.200
<v Speaker 7>in the seventh spot, and Alice call is going to

0:07:25.240 --> 0:07:28.160
<v Speaker 7>be in left field tonight and Ti Oscar Hernandez. You know,

0:07:28.240 --> 0:07:30.680
<v Speaker 7>we may see this lineup without the Oscar for a

0:07:30.760 --> 0:07:33.480
<v Speaker 7>number of games now against right handed pitching for a while.

0:07:33.600 --> 0:07:36.120
<v Speaker 2>We'll see how that works out. One thing Dave did

0:07:36.200 --> 0:07:40.800
<v Speaker 2>talk to the team about today is the ABS challenge system.

0:07:41.280 --> 0:07:43.960
<v Speaker 2>They have been losing some of these challenges early in

0:07:44.000 --> 0:07:45.760
<v Speaker 2>the game, blowing them so they don't have them late

0:07:45.800 --> 0:07:47.360
<v Speaker 2>in the game. They could have used one last night,

0:07:47.360 --> 0:07:50.600
<v Speaker 2>and Andy Pye has a bat, but Andy actually wasted

0:07:50.640 --> 0:07:52.640
<v Speaker 2>one early in the game. But he said he talked

0:07:52.680 --> 0:07:55.120
<v Speaker 2>to the team about ABS and he says they think

0:07:55.160 --> 0:07:57.040
<v Speaker 2>they have a much better handle on it right now.

0:07:57.240 --> 0:08:01.000
<v Speaker 7>Well, yeah, but then you introduce a rental and during

0:08:01.000 --> 0:08:03.800
<v Speaker 7>a ballgame, and the competitiveness of all these guys who

0:08:03.800 --> 0:08:08.360
<v Speaker 7>have been in the upper echelon in competition for their careers.

0:08:08.400 --> 0:08:10.840
<v Speaker 7>There's no question about it. But it is something that

0:08:10.960 --> 0:08:13.320
<v Speaker 7>needs to be managed much much better than what we're

0:08:13.360 --> 0:08:14.440
<v Speaker 7>seeing it consistently.

0:08:14.800 --> 0:08:18.120
<v Speaker 2>Blake Snell, Michael Walker. That's the pitching matchup, Dodgers trying

0:08:18.120 --> 0:08:20.840
<v Speaker 2>to beat the Royals for the second night in a row.

0:08:20.920 --> 0:08:23.160
<v Speaker 4>Tim all right, thank you guys, as we cut down

<v Speaker 4>on Salvadorian harriage Knight out here a uniclo feel the

<v Speaker 4>makes the second start of the season, first since May's

0:09:23.760 --> 0:09:25.640
<v Speaker 4>been on the injured list with the loose bodies and

0:09:25.679 --> 0:09:28.040
<v Speaker 4>his elbow had a surgery done as well. First pitch

0:09:28.080 --> 0:09:28.920
<v Speaker 4>coming up at seven.

0:09:28.760 --> 0:09:34.120
<v Speaker 1>Ten, This is the rewide Hiz on deck.

0:09:35.080 --> 0:09:38.240
<v Speaker 4>Otani shot a deep right center piel.

0:09:38.360 --> 0:09:41.760
<v Speaker 1>It is right back and it is one hop off

0:09:41.840 --> 0:09:42.280
<v Speaker 1>the wall.

0:09:42.880 --> 0:09:46.040
<v Speaker 6>Producer will score easily a stand up double floor.

0:09:46.200 --> 0:09:47.800
<v Speaker 4>Tani, I'm a dodgership.

0:09:48.720 --> 0:09:52.600
<v Speaker 5>I've gotten a run on the board three one games a.

0:09:52.679 --> 0:09:58.000
<v Speaker 2>Sevenming ready to go from the belt, right handed kicks

0:09:58.040 --> 0:10:00.079
<v Speaker 2>and delivers, and Otani line.

0:10:00.000 --> 0:10:02.640
<v Speaker 5>Sit in the left center up base check only a

0:10:02.880 --> 0:10:03.800
<v Speaker 5>rocket that just.

0:10:03.880 --> 0:10:07.120
<v Speaker 2>Kept on climbing. Bobby Witt Junior went to the top

0:10:07.280 --> 0:10:09.080
<v Speaker 2>run on the ladder and it was just too tall

0:10:09.160 --> 0:10:11.839
<v Speaker 2>for him. So Otani's got his second hit and the

0:10:11.960 --> 0:10:14.960
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers have a leadoff man aboard and the go ahead

0:10:15.000 --> 0:10:15.320
<v Speaker 2>run on.

<v Speaker 4>Show Hey Otani two for four with the double and

0:10:19.000 --> 0:10:22.160
<v Speaker 4>RBI two runs scored. He also stole his seventh eight

0:10:22.280 --> 0:10:24.840
<v Speaker 4>of the season in his last twelve games. How about

0:10:24.880 --> 0:10:28.880
<v Speaker 4>showey Otani Batty now three to ninety one, four doubles,

0:10:29.320 --> 0:10:31.960
<v Speaker 4>four home runs and eleven rbi. Is the Dodgers going

0:10:32.000 --> 0:10:34.360
<v Speaker 4>to come from behind win last night against the Royals.

0:10:34.960 --> 0:10:38.800

<v Speaker 4>donat now at Carsfurkids dot Org. That's cars with the

0:10:52.800 --> 0:10:56.120
<v Speaker 4>k Kirsten the Dodgers. A little bit of momentum after

0:10:56.240 --> 0:10:58.120
<v Speaker 4>that come from behind win last night?

0:10:58.559 --> 0:11:00.679
<v Speaker 9>Oh yeah, a lot of momentum. And look at just

0:11:00.840 --> 0:11:04.480
<v Speaker 9>how yesterday played out with erk School making his Dodger

0:11:04.559 --> 0:11:07.920
<v Speaker 9>Stadium debut. There's obviously a lot of excitement around that.

0:11:08.920 --> 0:11:12.240
<v Speaker 9>It wasn't his best outing, but ultimately he grinded through.

0:11:12.320 --> 0:11:14.400
<v Speaker 9>He was able to give five innings of work and

0:11:15.480 --> 0:11:18.040
<v Speaker 9>the Dodgers were able to get a few things going offensively.

0:11:18.160 --> 0:11:20.240
<v Speaker 9>You know, obviously when you look at that group, that's

0:11:20.280 --> 0:11:22.400
<v Speaker 9>been one of the slower pieces as of like really

0:11:22.480 --> 0:11:25.120
<v Speaker 9>only averaging about three runs per game, and so for

0:11:25.280 --> 0:11:27.520
<v Speaker 9>them to put six runs on the board, have ten hits,

0:11:27.600 --> 0:11:29.560
<v Speaker 9>to see a lot of guys get involved, and then

0:11:29.640 --> 0:11:32.439
<v Speaker 9>even as you mentioned, to see when they took the

0:11:32.559 --> 0:11:34.760
<v Speaker 9>leads then and then ultimately gave up the lead, tying

0:11:34.800 --> 0:11:37.000
<v Speaker 9>the game with Jack Dryer with that to run home run,

0:11:37.760 --> 0:11:40.680
<v Speaker 9>how they were able to battle back to then pick

0:11:40.760 --> 0:11:42.719
<v Speaker 9>up the go ahead run in the seventh That was

0:11:42.880 --> 0:11:45.040
<v Speaker 9>huge for the group. You know, in times and more

0:11:45.120 --> 0:11:47.679
<v Speaker 9>recently he've been seeing where maybe that's kind of the

0:11:47.840 --> 0:11:50.160
<v Speaker 9>thing that pulls the air out of the Dodger. So

0:11:50.559 --> 0:11:52.760
<v Speaker 9>for them to battle back is huge, and it really

0:11:52.840 --> 0:11:55.200
<v Speaker 9>as much as they've been saying, you know, things are

0:11:55.280 --> 0:11:58.000
<v Speaker 9>fine on the player's side, Dave Robert Chesty talked about

0:11:58.040 --> 0:12:00.320
<v Speaker 9>how he was going to manage with urgency. You wanted

0:12:00.360 --> 0:12:02.160
<v Speaker 9>to see these guys get back on track, and so

0:12:02.280 --> 0:12:02.920
<v Speaker 9>they did just that.

0:12:03.120 --> 0:12:03.560
<v Speaker 3>Yesterday.

0:12:04.320 --> 0:12:06.880
<v Speaker 4>Dodgers tonight got Blake Snell on the mound. He's made

0:12:07.000 --> 0:12:09.880
<v Speaker 4>one start way back in May, but all signs point

0:12:09.920 --> 0:12:12.160
<v Speaker 4>to him being healthy and hopefully a big night tonight.

0:12:12.840 --> 0:12:15.240
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, really and truly. I mean you kind of get

0:12:15.440 --> 0:12:17.640
<v Speaker 9>a lot of positive news coming back home to Los

0:12:17.679 --> 0:12:20.800
<v Speaker 9>Angeles yesterday, whether it was Tech Schoobl's debut at home.

0:12:21.200 --> 0:12:23.280
<v Speaker 9>Now you get Blake Snell back today, You've got Tyler

0:12:23.320 --> 0:12:26.160
<v Speaker 9>Glass now who's continuing with his rehab assignment. Show has

0:12:26.240 --> 0:12:28.640
<v Speaker 9>can you be playing catch? There's so much happening, and so,

0:12:28.800 --> 0:12:31.240
<v Speaker 9>like you said today, with Blake Snell in his last

0:12:31.280 --> 0:12:33.800
<v Speaker 9>rehab assignment, he wasn't able to get through the five

0:12:33.880 --> 0:12:35.600
<v Speaker 9>as they were hoping for, but he did get up

0:12:35.679 --> 0:12:38.640
<v Speaker 9>to seventy three pitches. So Dave Roberts today was saying

0:12:38.679 --> 0:12:41.320
<v Speaker 9>that they feel really good with him hopefully getting through five.

0:12:41.720 --> 0:12:44.800
<v Speaker 9>The bullpen is slightly taxed. We've seen Edwin Diaz as

0:12:44.840 --> 0:12:47.880
<v Speaker 9>well as Sander Scott pitch in four of the last

0:12:48.000 --> 0:12:50.599
<v Speaker 9>five games that this team has had, so you know,

0:12:50.880 --> 0:12:54.640
<v Speaker 9>there's not a fully stopped bullpen behind him. But Dave

0:12:54.720 --> 0:12:57.200
<v Speaker 9>Roberts did say he feels comfortable with you know, if

0:12:57.240 --> 0:12:59.599
<v Speaker 9>they are needed in high situations, they could do that.

0:12:59.800 --> 0:13:02.360
<v Speaker 9>But the hope is that Blake today Billy can get

0:13:02.400 --> 0:13:04.760
<v Speaker 9>through five. They're not going to push him too much.

0:13:04.880 --> 0:13:07.840
<v Speaker 9>Maybe that seventy five to eighty pitch count range is ideal,

0:13:08.240 --> 0:13:09.800
<v Speaker 9>but they're obviously going to keep an eye on him.

0:13:09.880 --> 0:13:11.920
<v Speaker 9>But he's healthy and he feels really good, and he

0:13:12.200 --> 0:13:14.240
<v Speaker 9>personally decided to get back out on this big league

0:13:14.280 --> 0:13:17.080
<v Speaker 9>field and just help provide and support this team.

0:13:17.559 --> 0:13:19.280
<v Speaker 4>Today feels like a good night to make it two

0:13:19.320 --> 0:13:21.560
<v Speaker 4>in a row and get this winning streak started. Here Kurriston,

0:13:21.600 --> 0:13:23.640
<v Speaker 4>we appreciate it. We'll check you with you after the game.

0:13:23.720 --> 0:13:26.000

0:14:25.040 --> 0:14:27.200
<v Speaker 4>the elbow injury. David Vasse had a chance to ten

0:14:27.320 --> 0:14:29.560
<v Speaker 4>to talk to him earlier today, so more on that

0:14:29.680 --> 0:14:31.760
<v Speaker 4>coming up in just a few minutes. But sounds like

0:14:31.840 --> 0:14:34.960
<v Speaker 4>he's gonna try to make a comeback here before October.

0:14:35.040 --> 0:14:37.400
<v Speaker 4>Blake trying to move to the sixty day IL with

0:14:37.480 --> 0:14:41.000

<v Speaker 4>hopefully going to take some batting practice here soon. On

0:14:43.600 --> 0:14:46.400
<v Speaker 4>the field. Tyler Glass now on the IL, has made

0:14:46.440 --> 0:14:49.120
<v Speaker 4>two rehab starts, most recently on Sunday, and as we've

0:14:49.120 --> 0:14:51.320
<v Speaker 4>been talking about, the big news off the injured list

0:14:51.400 --> 0:14:53.960
<v Speaker 4>for the second time this year, making a start. That

0:14:54.080 --> 0:14:56.360
<v Speaker 4>of course is Blake Snell coming up. I know just

0:14:56.440 --> 0:14:58.600
<v Speaker 4>a little bit. Let's head back downstairs and hear from

0:14:58.640 --> 0:15:00.720
<v Speaker 4>the Dodger skipper Dave.

0:15:00.760 --> 0:15:02.760
<v Speaker 5>Do you think the questions for dam Dave?

0:15:02.840 --> 0:15:04.680
<v Speaker 1>Can you just describe with Dave?

0:15:04.760 --> 0:15:06.560
<v Speaker 4>Can you talk about the pressure.

0:15:07.040 --> 0:15:09.240
<v Speaker 1>In the dugouts with Dave Roberts.

0:15:10.360 --> 0:15:13.880
<v Speaker 10>I want to see him attack. You know, he's got

0:15:14.400 --> 0:15:18.800
<v Speaker 10>numerous pitches, you know, not try to be too fine.

0:15:20.520 --> 0:15:22.280
<v Speaker 10>You know, it's a team that gets on base, they

0:15:22.360 --> 0:15:26.240
<v Speaker 10>put the ball in play. But I think coming back,

0:15:27.120 --> 0:15:30.240
<v Speaker 10>you know, like I said yesterday, he's on a mission

0:15:30.560 --> 0:15:34.920
<v Speaker 10>and it starts tonight. And granted it's his first start,

0:15:35.040 --> 0:15:37.360
<v Speaker 10>but you know, like we talked about, you know, we're

0:15:37.400 --> 0:15:39.440
<v Speaker 10>in it right now and we got to play well.

0:15:39.480 --> 0:15:41.080
<v Speaker 10>We need a good start at him.

0:15:41.640 --> 0:15:42.640
<v Speaker 11>You have kind of an.

0:15:42.560 --> 0:15:45.320
<v Speaker 3>Interesting dynamic in the sense of you have multiple players

0:15:45.360 --> 0:15:47.520
<v Speaker 3>this season that have undergone that procedure to have the

0:15:47.600 --> 0:15:48.800
<v Speaker 3>loose bodies taken out.

0:15:49.160 --> 0:15:51.560
<v Speaker 9>Do you feel like when you have someone like Terrek,

0:15:51.640 --> 0:15:53.920
<v Speaker 9>who's right now two months removed, and then you have

0:15:54.080 --> 0:15:56.640
<v Speaker 9>someone with Edwin's a little bit ahead of like, do

0:15:56.680 --> 0:15:58.480
<v Speaker 9>you feel like you have someone of a blueprint as

0:15:58.520 --> 0:16:01.240
<v Speaker 9>to what this problem So it looks like for these.

0:16:01.120 --> 0:16:02.480
<v Speaker 1>Players, who's just with these guys?

0:16:03.160 --> 0:16:07.560
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, I think so you know, uh, you know, Trek

0:16:07.640 --> 0:16:12.080
<v Speaker 10>feels as good as he felt he's felt physically. Edwin

0:16:12.240 --> 0:16:14.760
<v Speaker 10>feels as good as he's felt in a long time physically,

0:16:14.880 --> 0:16:17.800
<v Speaker 10>and just talking to Blake over the last you know,

0:16:17.840 --> 0:16:19.760
<v Speaker 10>a couple of weeks, it's as good as he's felt

0:16:19.760 --> 0:16:22.560
<v Speaker 10>in a long time. And so certainly you've got to

0:16:22.600 --> 0:16:25.320
<v Speaker 10>build up the stamina of the tolerance and things like that,

0:16:25.480 --> 0:16:28.200
<v Speaker 10>the endurance. But as far as kind of ball coming

0:16:28.240 --> 0:16:32.080
<v Speaker 10>out of hand, we do understand, you know, how it's

0:16:32.080 --> 0:16:37.000
<v Speaker 10>supposed to look, and the adjustment curve is not that

0:16:37.640 --> 0:16:39.360
<v Speaker 10>it doesn't take that long, which is good.

0:16:40.360 --> 0:16:42.520
<v Speaker 2>Going to be on words this.

0:16:44.120 --> 0:16:46.040
<v Speaker 7>Point, Recavery's kind.

0:16:45.920 --> 0:16:50.320
<v Speaker 10>Of a yeah, I wouldn't say just let him go.

0:16:51.800 --> 0:16:54.480
<v Speaker 10>You know, I think for me, you know, the hope

0:16:54.560 --> 0:16:57.880
<v Speaker 10>is to get him through five. I think he's probably

0:16:58.080 --> 0:17:02.280
<v Speaker 10>expecting north of that. But you know, it's all kind

0:17:02.320 --> 0:17:04.640
<v Speaker 10>of the pitch count, and I don't want to give

0:17:04.680 --> 0:17:09.760
<v Speaker 10>a hard pitch count, but you know, seventy five eighty

0:17:09.880 --> 0:17:11.320
<v Speaker 10>something like that would be ideal.

0:17:11.840 --> 0:17:14.600
<v Speaker 4>All right, there's the manager, Dave Roberts. The expectations for

0:17:14.680 --> 0:17:18.040
<v Speaker 4>Blake Snell tonight, in just his second start this year.

0:17:18.160 --> 0:17:20.680
<v Speaker 4>When we continue here on Moroco Casino Dodgers on Deck.

<v Speaker 5>I accept everybody for who they are.

0:18:16.680 --> 0:18:20.960
<v Speaker 1>This is Dodger insider David Bassi DV.

0:18:21.280 --> 0:18:23.920
<v Speaker 4>Dalton Rushing made an appearance today on the field of

0:18:23.960 --> 0:18:26.359
<v Speaker 4>Dodgers stadium. Well, what's going on? Will we see him

0:18:26.400 --> 0:18:27.040
<v Speaker 4>again this year?

0:18:27.680 --> 0:18:31.440
<v Speaker 5>Well, he's very optimistic that you will. He's not conceding

0:18:31.600 --> 0:18:34.520
<v Speaker 5>his season in any way. And he was out here

0:18:34.600 --> 0:18:38.080
<v Speaker 5>working with Ben Rourtban doing some catching drills with Bob Gearan,

0:18:38.200 --> 0:18:42.840
<v Speaker 5>the Dodgers game coordinator and former major league catcher. After

0:18:42.960 --> 0:18:46.159
<v Speaker 5>he was done with that, he was very willing to

0:18:46.760 --> 0:18:50.560
<v Speaker 5>set the record straight on how exactly he hurt his

0:18:50.800 --> 0:18:55.080
<v Speaker 5>right throwing arm on right before Sunday Night Baseball, the

0:18:55.160 --> 0:18:58.560
<v Speaker 5>last time the Dodgers were here. So here's what Rushing

0:18:58.680 --> 0:19:01.520
<v Speaker 5>had to say about how he hurt his arm and

0:19:01.840 --> 0:19:04.159
<v Speaker 5>whether or not he'll play again this season.

0:19:04.840 --> 0:19:08.720
<v Speaker 12>No, it was perfectly fine, and I usually make about

0:19:08.760 --> 0:19:11.360
<v Speaker 12>thirty to forty throws before the game in the outfield,

0:19:11.440 --> 0:19:14.800
<v Speaker 12>and my first twenty five thirty were great, and the

0:19:14.920 --> 0:19:18.760
<v Speaker 12>last couple it felt a little weird. So that's kind

0:19:18.800 --> 0:19:21.160
<v Speaker 12>of when I said something and wanted to make sure

0:19:21.200 --> 0:19:23.520
<v Speaker 12>that everyone was aware of it. So I didn't go

0:19:23.640 --> 0:19:26.040
<v Speaker 12>start a game. And then an inning and a half later,

0:19:26.119 --> 0:19:29.280
<v Speaker 12>my arm's hurt, and I ruined our chances of having coverage.

0:19:29.840 --> 0:19:32.200
<v Speaker 12>Like I said I have, my arm has not went

0:19:32.240 --> 0:19:36.040
<v Speaker 12>in a throwing action since it happened. So until I'm

0:19:36.080 --> 0:19:39.480
<v Speaker 12>cleared from doctors to throw anything again, I really won't

0:19:39.480 --> 0:19:41.960
<v Speaker 12>have an answer on whether it hurts or not. I

0:19:42.000 --> 0:19:43.879
<v Speaker 12>don't anticipate it to bother me too much once it

0:19:43.920 --> 0:19:47.480
<v Speaker 12>comes back. Obviously the diagnosis is what it is, but

0:19:48.200 --> 0:19:49.440
<v Speaker 12>I don't anticipate.

0:19:49.040 --> 0:19:51.280
<v Speaker 5>It to hurt too about him, all right, So the

0:19:51.320 --> 0:19:55.560
<v Speaker 5>way Dalton Rushing talked about the UCLA strain or ucl

0:19:55.760 --> 0:19:58.600
<v Speaker 5>strain or tear, he said he's not even sure what

0:19:58.760 --> 0:20:02.720
<v Speaker 5>it is, but he believes that he has two months

0:20:02.800 --> 0:20:07.280
<v Speaker 5>to strengthen the muscles around that right UCL to give

0:20:07.400 --> 0:20:10.640
<v Speaker 5>himself a chance to come back and catch and look.

0:20:10.760 --> 0:20:13.240
<v Speaker 5>I know people just want to run with the viral

0:20:13.400 --> 0:20:16.920
<v Speaker 5>videos from earlier in the season, but the reality is

0:20:17.480 --> 0:20:20.679
<v Speaker 5>with Will Smith missing the majority of the season, Dalton

0:20:20.760 --> 0:20:23.920
<v Speaker 5>Rushing has been a big part of this Dodger lineup,

0:20:24.160 --> 0:20:27.000
<v Speaker 5>hitting two point fifty three in ops of eight hundred,

0:20:27.119 --> 0:20:31.280
<v Speaker 5>twelve home runs thirty six RBIs hitting eighth ninth. I mean,

0:20:31.359 --> 0:20:34.000
<v Speaker 5>that's a lot of production to miss, and it's a

0:20:34.040 --> 0:20:37.600
<v Speaker 5>bigger drop off with Fiducca and Ben Rourtman from Dalton

0:20:37.680 --> 0:20:41.159
<v Speaker 5>Rushing this season, So hopefully he can come back but

0:20:42.000 --> 0:20:44.639
<v Speaker 5>you know he's not conceding anything, and you would expect

0:20:44.720 --> 0:20:45.280
<v Speaker 5>that from him.

0:20:45.560 --> 0:20:47.560
<v Speaker 4>David has brought to you by Ford Summer Sales event.

0:20:47.640 --> 0:20:49.720

<v Speaker 4>Go to buy Ford now dot com or you're Southern

<v Speaker 4>California Ford Dealer for more information. Ford official vehicle of

0:20:55.440 --> 0:20:58.160
<v Speaker 4>Major League Baseball. Let's stay with the catching position, David,

0:20:58.400 --> 0:21:00.560
<v Speaker 4>what about Will Smith? Also catcher?

0:21:01.280 --> 0:21:03.000
<v Speaker 5>All right, I don't know if you know this, Tim,

0:21:03.119 --> 0:21:06.080
<v Speaker 5>but I've been standing in front of Will Smith's locker

0:21:06.119 --> 0:21:10.439
<v Speaker 5>at Dodgers Stadium every day for the last thirty home games,

0:21:11.080 --> 0:21:13.440
<v Speaker 5>and I send messages to him through one of the

0:21:13.520 --> 0:21:16.760
<v Speaker 5>club he's RJ Peete, and he comes back and says,

0:21:16.920 --> 0:21:20.040
<v Speaker 5>Will's not talking to you today. Well, there was a

0:21:20.160 --> 0:21:23.440
<v Speaker 5>Will Smith sighting today. I was in the clubhouse. I

0:21:23.560 --> 0:21:26.280
<v Speaker 5>saw him duck in to get a bats, him duck out,

0:21:26.640 --> 0:21:28.720
<v Speaker 5>and then I saw him play catch on the field.

0:21:29.119 --> 0:21:32.240
<v Speaker 5>And my understanding from what I was told from Dodgers

0:21:32.359 --> 0:21:36.280
<v Speaker 5>hitting coach Aaron Bates, is that Smith took batting practice

0:21:36.400 --> 0:21:40.800
<v Speaker 5>in the cage yesterday, and Dave Roberts mentioned this yesterday,

0:21:40.840 --> 0:21:44.359
<v Speaker 5>and I found out more that Will Smith is still

0:21:44.520 --> 0:21:48.280
<v Speaker 5>on schedule to take batting practice on the field by

0:21:48.320 --> 0:21:51.680
<v Speaker 5>the end of this homestand and after that we'll know

0:21:51.800 --> 0:21:52.400
<v Speaker 5>a lot more.

0:21:52.880 --> 0:21:54.840
<v Speaker 4>I'm embarrass Dave, I've gone this far and I haven't

0:21:54.840 --> 0:21:56.399
<v Speaker 4>said Happy Snalls Villa day to you.

0:21:57.200 --> 0:21:59.920
<v Speaker 5>Well, I mean, come on, Tim buried the lead right there.

0:22:00.400 --> 0:22:03.800
<v Speaker 5>What do we expect tonight? I would expect at least

0:22:03.880 --> 0:22:07.760
<v Speaker 5>five innings and maybe giving up two earned runs. If

0:22:07.800 --> 0:22:10.560
<v Speaker 5>you look back at last year's first start, it was

0:22:10.640 --> 0:22:13.240
<v Speaker 5>a little rocky, a lot of pitchers thrown, not a

0:22:13.280 --> 0:22:16.280
<v Speaker 5>lot of command. But he has told me that he

0:22:16.480 --> 0:22:20.200
<v Speaker 5>hasn't felt this good in three years, and he said,

0:22:20.320 --> 0:22:23.800
<v Speaker 5>Dodger fans have not seen him healthy yet. So he's

0:22:23.920 --> 0:22:27.920
<v Speaker 5>really excited and confident that he's going to perform well

0:22:28.000 --> 0:22:30.720
<v Speaker 5>in the rest of the season. But like I told him,

0:22:30.760 --> 0:22:32.760
<v Speaker 5>he's got to prove it on the mound tonight.

0:22:32.760 --> 0:22:34.560
<v Speaker 4>No doubt, David. Great stuff will check back you with

0:22:34.640 --> 0:22:36.080
<v Speaker 4>you just a little bit. Dave's gonna go one on

0:22:36.200 --> 0:22:38.760

<v Speaker 13>All right, Tim, it's game one twenty after the Dodgers

0:25:17.080 --> 0:25:19.960
<v Speaker 13>one run win last night over the Royals, means there

0:25:20.000 --> 0:25:23.000
<v Speaker 13>are forty three games left in the regular season with

0:25:23.200 --> 0:25:26.639
<v Speaker 13>forty seven days to play. The Dodgers at seventy one

0:25:26.760 --> 0:25:30.760
<v Speaker 13>and forty six, comfortably in first place in the Western Division,

0:25:31.520 --> 0:25:33.320
<v Speaker 13>seven and a half in front of the d Backs,

0:25:33.400 --> 0:25:35.560
<v Speaker 13>eight and a half in front of the Padres. Then

0:25:35.640 --> 0:25:38.040
<v Speaker 13>you've got the Royals at forty nine and seventy one

0:25:38.119 --> 0:25:41.480
<v Speaker 13>their last place in the American League Central thirteen and

0:25:41.560 --> 0:25:44.640
<v Speaker 13>a half behind the White Sox, and tonight, I guess both.

0:25:44.680 --> 0:25:48.560
<v Speaker 13>The big story is the return of Blake Snell. Much

0:25:48.640 --> 0:25:49.959
<v Speaker 13>anticipated return.

0:25:50.160 --> 0:25:52.919
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, And Dave Roberts asked about it a little bit

0:25:52.960 --> 0:25:55.720
<v Speaker 7>earlier because Day's been talking about the last few days.

0:25:55.760 --> 0:25:58.760
<v Speaker 7>But he said, hey, look what they want Snell to

0:25:58.880 --> 0:26:02.000
<v Speaker 7>do is attack, you know, don't just we'll see if

0:26:02.040 --> 0:26:05.800
<v Speaker 7>this works. No, go ahead and attack, And for Roberts said, look,

0:26:05.880 --> 0:26:09.200
<v Speaker 7>Blake Snell is on a mission and that mission starts

0:26:09.440 --> 0:26:12.919
<v Speaker 7>tonight as he will make his second start of the season.

0:26:13.040 --> 0:26:16.040
<v Speaker 7>So it's been a kind of a merry go round

0:26:16.119 --> 0:26:18.600
<v Speaker 7>trying to come back and get Blake Snell back into

0:26:18.640 --> 0:26:21.600
<v Speaker 7>the fold, and they're looking for big things. He said,

0:26:21.640 --> 0:26:23.119
<v Speaker 7>they didn't want to put a pitch count on it,

0:26:23.200 --> 0:26:26.119
<v Speaker 7>but somewhere between maybe seventy five and eighty pitches and

0:26:26.320 --> 0:26:28.639
<v Speaker 7>hopefully that'll be somewhere around five innings tonight.

0:26:28.840 --> 0:26:31.840
<v Speaker 13>In his two years with the Dodgers, Snell has made

0:26:32.119 --> 0:26:37.040
<v Speaker 13>twelve regular season starts, eleven minor league rehabs starts, and

0:26:37.080 --> 0:26:39.560
<v Speaker 13>then of course he has done well in the postseason.

0:26:39.880 --> 0:26:43.880
<v Speaker 13>That's where his bread is buttered. Six postseason appearances, three

0:26:43.960 --> 0:26:48.080
<v Speaker 13>and two, a three point one eight er. So he's

0:26:48.920 --> 0:26:52.200
<v Speaker 13>he's the mayor down the stretch, headed to the finish line,

0:26:52.200 --> 0:26:53.879
<v Speaker 13>and that's where they're really gonna need him.

0:26:53.960 --> 0:26:55.919
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, and they're gonna have to have him. I mean,

0:26:55.960 --> 0:26:58.119
<v Speaker 7>here's the guy that has a lot of credentials. I mean,

0:26:58.160 --> 0:27:01.760
<v Speaker 7>two time Cy Young Award winner, so that has a

0:27:01.800 --> 0:27:03.680
<v Speaker 7>lot of weight. But you know you're not going to

0:27:03.760 --> 0:27:05.800
<v Speaker 7>win that Cy Young if you're on the injured list

0:27:05.840 --> 0:27:08.000
<v Speaker 7>and not playing. So hopefully this is going to be

0:27:08.040 --> 0:27:10.440
<v Speaker 7>a stepping stone. And as you mentioned really at the top,

0:27:10.560 --> 0:27:12.639
<v Speaker 7>this is game number one hundred and twenty, so there

0:27:12.720 --> 0:27:15.080
<v Speaker 7>is ample time for him to get settled in and

0:27:15.200 --> 0:27:18.399
<v Speaker 7>then go to postseason. Hopefully he stays healthy. He says

0:27:18.480 --> 0:27:20.800
<v Speaker 7>he's fine. We'll find out tonight at least, taking a

0:27:20.960 --> 0:27:23.440
<v Speaker 7>very big step, and again, only his second start for

0:27:23.520 --> 0:27:24.320
<v Speaker 7>the entire season.

0:27:24.760 --> 0:27:28.560
<v Speaker 13>Last pitched in Salt Lake City a week ago. Tonight,

0:27:28.840 --> 0:27:31.600
<v Speaker 13>gave up three runs in three and two thirds. He

0:27:31.760 --> 0:27:34.680
<v Speaker 13>walked four, struck out three seventy three pitches.

0:27:35.119 --> 0:27:35.919
<v Speaker 1>Michael Walker.

0:27:36.040 --> 0:27:39.879
<v Speaker 13>We remember him vividly back in twenty and thirteen in

0:27:39.960 --> 0:27:43.960
<v Speaker 13>the National League Championship Series where he was outstanding in

0:27:44.080 --> 0:27:47.400
<v Speaker 13>two starts. What a rookie he was, now thirteen years

0:27:47.480 --> 0:27:49.640
<v Speaker 13>later the season veteran with the Royal.

0:27:49.560 --> 0:27:51.359
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, he knows how to pitch. The big guy is

0:27:51.359 --> 0:27:53.639
<v Speaker 7>six foot six to begin with, he's thirty five now.

0:27:53.720 --> 0:27:56.879
<v Speaker 7>He's allowed us to two thirty four average against him,

0:27:56.920 --> 0:28:02.000
<v Speaker 7>But he has had difficulty against the Dodgers. Seven decisions

0:28:02.080 --> 0:28:05.520
<v Speaker 7>he's had against Los Angeles, only one in the victory

0:28:05.560 --> 0:28:09.040
<v Speaker 7>column and an ERA career against them of over eight.

0:28:09.160 --> 0:28:11.679
<v Speaker 7>We'll see if that continues tonight, or maybe he changes

0:28:11.720 --> 0:28:13.399
<v Speaker 7>the way he pitches to the Dodger hitters.

0:28:13.720 --> 0:28:16.200
<v Speaker 13>He has changed quite a bit since the All Star

0:28:16.359 --> 0:28:20.680
<v Speaker 13>Bright in four Stars a one eighty two er. So

0:28:20.840 --> 0:28:25.199
<v Speaker 13>the Dodgers got some hitting last night, and so finally

0:28:25.280 --> 0:28:27.960
<v Speaker 13>it looks like again it's the Kansas City of Royals.

0:28:28.040 --> 0:28:30.919
<v Speaker 13>Not a terrific team, but they got some offense, certainly

0:28:30.960 --> 0:28:31.680
<v Speaker 13>when they needed it.

0:28:31.880 --> 0:28:33.960
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, and the second night at a row. Now we're

0:28:33.960 --> 0:28:37.159
<v Speaker 7>beginning to see some different lineups by Dave Roberts, and

0:28:37.280 --> 0:28:39.520
<v Speaker 7>tonight is going to be Freddie Freeman that moves up

0:28:39.560 --> 0:28:41.719
<v Speaker 7>to the number two spot for a couple of reasons.

0:28:41.760 --> 0:28:44.320
<v Speaker 7>First of all, the last seventeen games hitting at four

0:28:44.360 --> 0:28:47.840
<v Speaker 7>to thirty nine, and then career against Walkert eight hits

0:28:47.960 --> 0:28:51.160
<v Speaker 7>in fifteen advance, including one home run. Not the only

0:28:51.320 --> 0:28:53.840
<v Speaker 7>change in the lineup as far as positioning po has

0:28:53.880 --> 0:28:56.040
<v Speaker 7>for third Tucker is going to be in the fourth

0:28:56.080 --> 0:28:59.080
<v Speaker 7>spot and Alex Kolb is going to be in left

0:28:59.120 --> 0:29:02.640
<v Speaker 7>field tonight. They Oscar Hernandez, who has struggled in particular

0:29:02.680 --> 0:29:05.240
<v Speaker 7>against right handed pitching, not in the lineup tonight.

0:29:05.560 --> 0:29:08.360
<v Speaker 13>Rart Vett is the catcher, and so we get ready

0:29:08.400 --> 0:29:10.880
<v Speaker 13>to play the second game of the three game series.

0:29:11.360 --> 0:29:14.160
<v Speaker 13>Blake Snell his first start of the year, actually the

0:29:14.240 --> 0:29:17.480
<v Speaker 13>second start but first is way back in May, going

0:29:17.560 --> 0:29:18.760
<v Speaker 13>against Michael Waka.

0:29:18.880 --> 0:29:19.280

<v Speaker 4>That day, and you know, just leave it at that.

0:31:06.960 --> 0:31:09.880

<v Speaker 11>and to be in the lineup today.

<v Speaker 5>I know you expressed to Dave Roberts Andrew Friedman that

0:31:35.200 --> 0:31:37.920
<v Speaker 5>there was nowhere else you'd rather be than here, even

0:31:37.960 --> 0:31:40.880
<v Speaker 5>if it meant getting a start once every week, once

0:31:40.920 --> 0:31:43.600
<v Speaker 5>every couple of weeks, coming off the bench. How much

0:31:43.680 --> 0:31:46.080
<v Speaker 5>does it mean to you to still be part of

0:31:46.160 --> 0:31:48.480
<v Speaker 5>this team and be able to contribute to a possible

0:31:48.560 --> 0:31:49.080
<v Speaker 5>three peat?

0:31:49.560 --> 0:31:50.200
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I mean.

0:31:51.560 --> 0:31:54.200
<v Speaker 11>You kind of been dealing with that question a lot,

0:31:55.440 --> 0:31:57.520
<v Speaker 11>just trying to wrestle with it all throughout the year.

0:31:57.560 --> 0:32:00.720
<v Speaker 11>And it's just so much fun here and the guys

0:32:00.760 --> 0:32:03.120
<v Speaker 11>are great, and you get to play amongst the best,

0:32:03.440 --> 0:32:07.200
<v Speaker 11>and you know, hall of famers everywhere, and possibility for

0:32:07.240 --> 0:32:09.360
<v Speaker 11>winning World Series. I mean last year was so much fun.

0:32:10.240 --> 0:32:11.840
<v Speaker 11>It's like, why would you not want to do that again?

0:32:12.240 --> 0:32:14.720
<v Speaker 11>No matter what the capacity? And you know, I'll be

0:32:14.800 --> 0:32:18.720
<v Speaker 11>ready and I'm ready for my moments not only today,

0:32:18.800 --> 0:32:20.480
<v Speaker 11>but as we go throughout the rest of the season

0:32:20.680 --> 0:32:23.720
<v Speaker 11>in October, and that's kind of what I'm focusing on.

0:32:23.800 --> 0:32:24.160
<v Speaker 12>Every day.

0:32:24.520 --> 0:32:27.840
<v Speaker 5>I get to witness part of your process and just

0:32:27.920 --> 0:32:31.680
<v Speaker 5>to be candid with those listening, you have been the

0:32:31.720 --> 0:32:34.480
<v Speaker 5>first guy out here every day, whether you're starting, whether

0:32:34.520 --> 0:32:37.040
<v Speaker 5>you're not starting, you're out here the first guy to

0:32:37.080 --> 0:32:40.200
<v Speaker 5>work with Dino Ebel. How big has that been to

0:32:40.360 --> 0:32:43.080
<v Speaker 5>your role on this team to not waiver from your

0:32:43.200 --> 0:32:44.000
<v Speaker 5>daily routine.

0:32:44.440 --> 0:32:44.640
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:32:44.720 --> 0:32:47.160
<v Speaker 11>Well, the bottom line is when you play the game

0:32:47.560 --> 0:32:49.560
<v Speaker 11>and when you get called on, you got to be

0:32:49.640 --> 0:32:51.640
<v Speaker 11>a major league player, not only a major league player,

0:32:51.640 --> 0:32:53.000
<v Speaker 11>but you got to be a good one and you

0:32:53.120 --> 0:32:54.520
<v Speaker 11>got to be able to help the team win. So

0:32:56.880 --> 0:32:59.880
<v Speaker 11>that's the role and that's the bottom line. So whatever

0:33:00.120 --> 0:33:02.640
<v Speaker 11>I have, I have to do whatever it takes to

0:33:02.760 --> 0:33:06.640
<v Speaker 11>be ready for that opportunity to be above average major

0:33:06.720 --> 0:33:10.040
<v Speaker 11>league player when I step on the field, and uh,

0:33:10.400 --> 0:33:13.360
<v Speaker 11>you know, that's tricky and it's difficult. But when you

0:33:13.480 --> 0:33:16.960
<v Speaker 11>have you know, a great coaching staff and just the

0:33:17.560 --> 0:33:20.720
<v Speaker 11>want and the ability to work, you can go at

0:33:20.760 --> 0:33:23.440
<v Speaker 11>it and then you know you've given it all you can.

0:33:23.560 --> 0:33:25.480
<v Speaker 11>You've done everything you can and the results are in

0:33:25.520 --> 0:33:26.080
<v Speaker 11>God's hands.

0:33:26.440 --> 0:33:29.200
<v Speaker 5>Alex call is our guest. He's in left field tonight

0:33:29.360 --> 0:33:32.760
<v Speaker 5>on snell Zilla Day. That's right bump day for Blake Snell.

0:33:32.960 --> 0:33:35.640
<v Speaker 5>Second start of the season, first start in a long time.

0:33:36.360 --> 0:33:39.000
<v Speaker 5>You guys know how much work pitchers put into their

0:33:39.120 --> 0:33:41.920
<v Speaker 5>every fifth or sixth day. What does it mean for

0:33:42.000 --> 0:33:44.320
<v Speaker 5>you to be in left field with Blake on the

0:33:44.400 --> 0:33:46.880
<v Speaker 5>mound and a guy that really does value defense.

0:33:47.360 --> 0:33:50.400
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, it's exciting, you know, super excited to have Blake

0:33:50.480 --> 0:33:53.760
<v Speaker 11>back out there, and when you're playing defense behind him,

0:33:53.800 --> 0:33:56.760
<v Speaker 11>you're just ready to help him out by any means necessary.

0:33:56.880 --> 0:33:59.560
<v Speaker 11>So it's great to have him back out there. We're

0:33:59.600 --> 0:34:02.040
<v Speaker 11>excited to see what he's got and be ready to,

0:34:02.560 --> 0:34:04.200
<v Speaker 11>you know, make some place for him and watch him deal.

0:34:04.600 --> 0:34:07.000
<v Speaker 5>How about Michael Waka. He's the guy that's been around

0:34:07.040 --> 0:34:09.560
<v Speaker 5>a long time. Dodger fans remember him from the twenty

0:34:09.640 --> 0:34:13.279
<v Speaker 5>thirteen NLCS. Hard to believe it's twenty twenty six, but

0:34:13.800 --> 0:34:15.800
<v Speaker 5>there's not a lot of secrets that he has for you.

0:34:16.560 --> 0:34:19.040

<v Speaker 4>starts against the Dodgers, going back to twenty seventeen when

<v Speaker 4>Nevert and Rick Monday.

0:39:16.480 --> 0:39:19.160
<v Speaker 2>Guys, Tim, thanks for getting you ready for this one

0:39:19.600 --> 0:39:23.560
<v Speaker 2>as Blake Snell will pitch against Michael Waka. Snell coming

0:39:23.640 --> 0:39:26.520
<v Speaker 2>off the injured list and he hasn't pitched in a

0:39:26.600 --> 0:39:30.719
<v Speaker 2>major league game since early May, and again he had

0:39:30.719 --> 0:39:33.720
<v Speaker 2>a late start during spring training. He was slow played,

0:39:33.760 --> 0:39:36.440
<v Speaker 2>had a shoulder issue, then the elbow issue came up.

0:39:36.520 --> 0:39:39.279
<v Speaker 2>He had the needle procedure done. He says that he

0:39:39.400 --> 0:39:42.719
<v Speaker 2>can he feels better than he's felt in a long

0:39:42.800 --> 0:39:45.280
<v Speaker 2>long time. He can feel the ball again. He doesn't

0:39:45.320 --> 0:39:46.920
<v Speaker 2>have any numbness in his hand anymore.

0:39:47.360 --> 0:39:47.400
<v Speaker 1>So.

0:39:47.600 --> 0:39:50.600
<v Speaker 2>Blake Snell is a guy that Dave Roberts described as

0:39:50.600 --> 0:39:52.080
<v Speaker 2>a man on a mission.

0:39:52.200 --> 0:39:55.160
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, and he says that mission begins tonight. And for Snell,

0:39:55.640 --> 0:39:57.920
<v Speaker 7>the last down that he had and the only one

0:39:58.040 --> 0:40:00.720
<v Speaker 7>of the Dodgers was on the ninth of So hopefully

0:40:00.760 --> 0:40:03.680
<v Speaker 7>he's going to go. Roberts was hesitant in putting a

0:40:03.840 --> 0:40:06.440
<v Speaker 7>pitch count, but he said, hopefully be somewhere seventy five

0:40:06.520 --> 0:40:09.480
<v Speaker 7>and eighty, and hopefully it would be maybe equating into

0:40:09.680 --> 0:40:12.880
<v Speaker 7>five innings of work, because if we look at the bullpen,

0:40:13.280 --> 0:40:15.879
<v Speaker 7>the bullpen has been really worked hard, if you look

0:40:15.920 --> 0:40:18.160
<v Speaker 7>at the last couple of games in Arizona, and then

0:40:18.200 --> 0:40:20.560
<v Speaker 7>we saw a few relievers in last night's ball game

0:40:20.600 --> 0:40:22.680
<v Speaker 7>as well. Four more called out of the pin.

0:40:23.320 --> 0:40:27.080
<v Speaker 2>Twenty thirteen, Michael Waka was a rookie with the Saint

0:40:27.160 --> 0:40:30.880
<v Speaker 2>Louis Cardinals and he pitched against the Dodgers in the

0:40:31.000 --> 0:40:33.840
<v Speaker 2>National League Championship Series, and he tossed a pair of

0:40:33.880 --> 0:40:36.880
<v Speaker 2>scoreless starts. Actually, as a rookie, he was on fire

0:40:37.880 --> 0:40:41.200
<v Speaker 2>at that point in his career in terms of having success,

0:40:41.719 --> 0:40:44.600
<v Speaker 2>but Since that time, he's gone one in six against

0:40:44.600 --> 0:40:46.520
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers with an ERA nearly eight and a half.

0:40:46.600 --> 0:40:49.040
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, that's over his last nine starts against the Dodgers

0:40:49.080 --> 0:40:52.399
<v Speaker 7>as well. One guy we mentioned before for Freeman, we'll

0:40:52.440 --> 0:40:55.040
<v Speaker 7>see how he does against Waka, who's had a good

0:40:55.120 --> 0:40:58.120
<v Speaker 7>success nine for fifteen when he's faced the big right hander.

0:40:58.360 --> 0:41:00.239
<v Speaker 7>The other part, too, is if we look at the

0:41:00.360 --> 0:41:03.360
<v Speaker 7>Kansas City with the lefty on the mound and Blake Snell,

0:41:04.000 --> 0:41:06.200
<v Speaker 7>they are at the bottom of the heap. They're nine

0:41:06.320 --> 0:41:08.759
<v Speaker 7>and twenty five when the left handed starter is in

0:41:08.840 --> 0:41:09.640
<v Speaker 7>the game against them.

0:41:09.960 --> 0:41:14.200
<v Speaker 2>It's Blake Snell against Michael Waka. Dodgers and Royals, Game

0:41:14.320 --> 0:41:15.920
