0:01:45.720 --> 0:01:49.960
<v Speaker 5>game series against the Twins. On Wednesday, it was Otani Day.

0:01:50.400 --> 0:01:53.680
<v Speaker 5>Otani the pitcher and Otani the hitter. What should have

0:01:53.680 --> 0:01:56.240
<v Speaker 5>been a great pitching matchup against the right hander Joe

0:01:56.320 --> 0:01:59.520
<v Speaker 5>Ryan O'tani win six in hees allowed three runs, two

0:01:59.520 --> 0:02:02.480

0:02:07.000 --> 0:02:10.280
<v Speaker 2>Three to two pitch to Bets, he swings and hammers

0:02:10.280 --> 0:02:13.160
<v Speaker 2>won left center and team this ball heading back to

0:02:13.240 --> 0:02:13.640
<v Speaker 2>the wall.

0:02:13.800 --> 0:02:15.560
<v Speaker 3>It has gone a home run.

0:02:16.280 --> 0:02:21.320
<v Speaker 2>Uokie Betts home run number nine and the Dodgers strike first.

0:02:21.320 --> 0:02:30.239
<v Speaker 2>It's one nothing and Rookie got a four seamer a

0:02:30.280 --> 0:02:34.720
<v Speaker 2>little bit up in the zone and he put the good.

0:02:34.520 --> 0:02:35.480
<v Speaker 6>Part of the barrel on it.

0:02:36.320 --> 0:02:38.639
<v Speaker 5>Mookie Betts with his ninth home run of the season,

0:02:38.680 --> 0:02:42.200
<v Speaker 5>but his three hundredth of his career, now one of

0:02:42.280 --> 0:02:45.400
<v Speaker 5>only thirty Major leaguers all time who have hit at

0:02:45.480 --> 0:02:48.080
<v Speaker 5>least three hundred home runs, four hundred doubles, and one

0:02:48.160 --> 0:02:49.760
<v Speaker 5>hundred and fifty stolen bases.

0:02:49.800 --> 0:02:51.440
<v Speaker 6>The Dodgers had a one to nothing elite.

0:02:51.440 --> 0:02:54.120
<v Speaker 5>However, the Dodgers would run into trouble in the bottom

0:02:54.200 --> 0:02:57.120
<v Speaker 5>half of the second inning. It was Dalton rushing and

0:02:57.200 --> 0:03:01.600
<v Speaker 5>shoey Otani miscommunicating couple base hits and pass ball some

0:03:01.680 --> 0:03:05.200
<v Speaker 5>frustration from show hey Otani on the ABS system and

0:03:05.240 --> 0:03:06.360
<v Speaker 5>not challenging pitching.

0:03:06.600 --> 0:03:07.800
<v Speaker 6>The Dodgers were down.

0:03:07.760 --> 0:03:10.239
<v Speaker 5>Three to one, going ahead into the top half of

0:03:10.280 --> 0:03:13.280
<v Speaker 5>the third inning when things flipped again in favor of

0:03:13.320 --> 0:03:16.480
<v Speaker 5>the Dodgers. Show hey Otani got it started RBI single

0:03:16.560 --> 0:03:18.359
<v Speaker 5>that made it a three to two game, and then

0:03:18.440 --> 0:03:19.840
<v Speaker 5>Max Munsey tied.

0:03:19.639 --> 0:03:22.120
<v Speaker 2>It once he waits in the one to zero pitch,

0:03:23.200 --> 0:03:25.200
<v Speaker 2>swings in, hits it on the ground right side up,

0:03:25.240 --> 0:03:28.800
<v Speaker 2>basic Otani will score. They'll hold Freeman a third. That

0:03:29.000 --> 0:03:32.440
<v Speaker 2>tie is the game at three, and Monthly is two

0:03:32.520 --> 0:03:32.880
<v Speaker 2>for two.

0:03:32.919 --> 0:03:37.080
<v Speaker 5>Tonight, Max Munsey with the RBI singles six ribbies in

0:03:37.120 --> 0:03:39.960
<v Speaker 5>his last six games, none of which have come off.

0:03:40.000 --> 0:03:42.920
<v Speaker 5>The home run for Max Munsey. Then Alex call with

0:03:43.040 --> 0:03:46.440
<v Speaker 5>a sackfly gave the Dodgers a four to three lead.

0:03:46.680 --> 0:03:49.320
<v Speaker 5>So just that, like that, the Dodgers answer with three

0:03:49.400 --> 0:03:51.600
<v Speaker 5>runs in the top half of the third to take

0:03:51.640 --> 0:03:53.880
<v Speaker 5>a four to three lead and then showe a. Otani

0:03:54.160 --> 0:03:56.480
<v Speaker 5>did it the rest of the way six solid innings.

0:03:56.560 --> 0:03:59.880
<v Speaker 5>Kyle hurtpitched his seventh, Alex Vesia struck out three and

0:04:00.000 --> 0:04:02.760
<v Speaker 5>the eighth ten Or Scott love him or hand him

0:04:02.880 --> 0:04:04.120
<v Speaker 5>eleven save of the season.

0:04:04.160 --> 0:04:04.920
<v Speaker 6>He pitched the ninth.

0:04:04.920 --> 0:04:07.160
<v Speaker 5>Then he put up a zero as the Dodgers get

0:04:07.160 --> 0:04:09.440
<v Speaker 5>out of Minneapolis with the three games sweep. They went

0:04:09.440 --> 0:04:11.840
<v Speaker 5>at four to three on Wednesday. They take all three

0:04:11.920 --> 0:04:15.240
<v Speaker 5>games as their seventh series sweep of the year, as

0:04:15.240 --> 0:04:17.719
<v Speaker 5>they improved a fifty two and twenty nine on this

0:04:17.839 --> 0:04:21.320
<v Speaker 5>season and now They're in San Diego for a three

0:04:21.480 --> 0:04:25.800
<v Speaker 5>game weekend set against the Padres, who are nine games

0:04:25.920 --> 0:04:30.640
<v Speaker 5>back in the NL West. Rokie Susaki Walker Buehler the

0:04:30.640 --> 0:04:32.960
<v Speaker 5>pitching matchup in the series opener, first pitch of six

0:04:33.080 --> 0:04:34.320
<v Speaker 5>forty five and with more.

0:04:34.360 --> 0:04:35.040
<v Speaker 6>We head out to the.

0:04:34.960 --> 0:04:38.000
<v Speaker 5>Galloping four broadcast booth as we say hello to Steven

0:04:38.080 --> 0:04:40.719
<v Speaker 5>Nelson and Rick Monday, guys.

0:04:40.360 --> 0:04:42.799
<v Speaker 7>Thank you Tim. It's great to be back in America's

0:04:42.839 --> 0:04:45.280
<v Speaker 7>finest city. It seems like we were just here mode

0:04:45.320 --> 0:04:48.680
<v Speaker 7>the Dodgers at Petco Park taking on the Padres, the

0:04:48.720 --> 0:04:51.400
<v Speaker 7>first of three games here, in the first of seven

0:04:51.560 --> 0:04:54.559
<v Speaker 7>games between these two rivals over the next ten days.

0:04:54.600 --> 0:04:59.320
<v Speaker 7>But as we come off an off day, we're halfway

0:04:59.320 --> 0:05:00.800
<v Speaker 7>home in twenty two TWI.

0:05:00.600 --> 0:05:02.720
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, eighty one games, they're already in the book, and

0:05:02.760 --> 0:05:05.159
<v Speaker 8>the Dodgers and nine games in front of San Diego

0:05:05.240 --> 0:05:07.280
<v Speaker 8>to lead the Nation League Western Division, ten and a

0:05:07.320 --> 0:05:10.800
<v Speaker 8>half in front of Arizona. But you come in here,

0:05:10.800 --> 0:05:12.920
<v Speaker 8>don't think the Pandres lightly. They're gonna have to make

0:05:12.920 --> 0:05:15.960
<v Speaker 8>a move sometime and do it soon. And they feel

0:05:16.000 --> 0:05:19.120
<v Speaker 8>good about themselves just having swept the three game series

0:05:19.120 --> 0:05:22.400
<v Speaker 8>against the Atlanta Brains, so for the pres they've got

0:05:22.440 --> 0:05:24.880
<v Speaker 8>to kick it into gear. I'm surprised looking at San

0:05:24.880 --> 0:05:27.120
<v Speaker 8>Diego that they are as low as they are that

0:05:27.160 --> 0:05:29.839
<v Speaker 8>many games we have the Dodgers, in particular, just twenty

0:05:29.839 --> 0:05:30.920
<v Speaker 8>two and nineteen at home.

0:05:31.000 --> 0:05:34.279
<v Speaker 7>Their record, it's been in anemic offense really for most

0:05:34.320 --> 0:05:36.680
<v Speaker 7>of the year, last in the majors in terms of

0:05:36.760 --> 0:05:39.200
<v Speaker 7>runs per game, But it has been a better unit

0:05:39.480 --> 0:05:41.440
<v Speaker 7>the last two and a half weeks or so as

0:05:41.480 --> 0:05:44.520
<v Speaker 7>they've started to try try to turn their own ship around.

0:05:44.600 --> 0:05:47.200
<v Speaker 7>Nine games separate the Dodgers and Padres as we sit

0:05:47.279 --> 0:05:51.880
<v Speaker 7>here and now, and I think with this next two

0:05:51.880 --> 0:05:55.600
<v Speaker 7>week stretch, so much activity between these two clubs, even

0:05:55.600 --> 0:05:57.599
<v Speaker 7>though they're up nine games right now, the Dodgers have

0:05:57.600 --> 0:06:00.880
<v Speaker 7>a chance to really throttle down and take a stranglehold

0:06:00.880 --> 0:06:01.479
<v Speaker 7>on the division.

0:06:01.480 --> 0:06:04.200
<v Speaker 8>To agree more. And if you look at the disparity

0:06:04.480 --> 0:06:07.040
<v Speaker 8>talking about runs, well, the Dodgers have scored four hundred

0:06:07.080 --> 0:06:10.000
<v Speaker 8>and twenty three. They've allowed only two hundred and seventy nine,

0:06:10.480 --> 0:06:13.120
<v Speaker 8>So that's a plus plus. You know, San Diego's given

0:06:13.200 --> 0:06:15.240
<v Speaker 8>up more runs than they've scored, which is really kind

0:06:15.240 --> 0:06:17.159
<v Speaker 8>of crazy, not by a whole lot, but the fact

0:06:17.200 --> 0:06:19.799
<v Speaker 8>that even an even balance is rather shocking.

0:06:19.880 --> 0:06:21.640
<v Speaker 7>The Dodgers are the only team in the National League

0:06:21.640 --> 0:06:24.679
<v Speaker 7>West that have a positive run deferential, let alone plus

0:06:24.760 --> 0:06:26.480
<v Speaker 7>one four like they do on the year.

0:06:26.800 --> 0:06:27.000
<v Speaker 9>Yeap.

0:06:27.080 --> 0:06:28.680
<v Speaker 8>Then you start to look at other things too, I

0:06:28.680 --> 0:06:31.599
<v Speaker 8>mean americaly say hey, we'd like to have those numbers too.

0:06:32.040 --> 0:06:34.040
<v Speaker 8>You start to look at ten American League teams that

0:06:34.040 --> 0:06:35.279
<v Speaker 8>are below the fine hundred mark.

0:06:35.440 --> 0:06:38.960
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, the National League has been the superior league by

0:06:39.080 --> 0:06:42.360
<v Speaker 7>far so far in twenty twenty six. Obviously it doesn't

0:06:42.400 --> 0:06:44.599
<v Speaker 7>have any bearing when it comes down to the World Series.

0:06:44.680 --> 0:06:46.839
<v Speaker 7>That's a long way off of the distance though. This

0:06:46.880 --> 0:06:49.920
<v Speaker 7>first half has flown by, and so has time. Because

0:06:49.960 --> 0:06:52.919
<v Speaker 7>now the Dodgers are playing a game and they're facing

0:06:53.240 --> 0:06:55.760
<v Speaker 7>Walker Bueller. It's gonna be weird. I know they saw

0:06:55.839 --> 0:06:58.880
<v Speaker 7>him when he was in Boston last year, but that

0:06:58.960 --> 0:07:01.480
<v Speaker 7>was at Fenway Park and it was all right. He's

0:07:01.520 --> 0:07:03.680
<v Speaker 7>in the American League. He's far removed.

0:07:03.680 --> 0:07:04.880
<v Speaker 1>He was just the World Series shirt.

0:07:04.960 --> 0:07:08.159
<v Speaker 7>But now he's back in the division pitching for the Padres.

0:07:08.240 --> 0:07:09.960
<v Speaker 7>I think it's going to take some time for folks

0:07:09.960 --> 0:07:10.600
<v Speaker 7>to get used to that.

0:07:10.720 --> 0:07:14.160
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, And for Buehler, you know, he'll want to succeed,

0:07:14.240 --> 0:07:16.080
<v Speaker 8>no question about it, and he's been doing that. You

0:07:16.200 --> 0:07:18.400
<v Speaker 8>start to look at the four starts so far this month,

0:07:19.000 --> 0:07:21.600
<v Speaker 8>his era is under two one point seven to one.

0:07:21.640 --> 0:07:23.520
<v Speaker 8>To be exactly, This slider has been a very big

0:07:23.560 --> 0:07:25.680
<v Speaker 8>pitch for him, and he's gone to the cut fastball

0:07:26.080 --> 0:07:28.320
<v Speaker 8>a lot as well. So we'll find out what happens.

0:07:28.480 --> 0:07:29.400
<v Speaker 8>Was really kind of crazy.

0:07:29.920 --> 0:07:30.360
<v Speaker 9>What was it?

0:07:30.440 --> 0:07:32.880
<v Speaker 8>Six weeks ago? The Padres had a half game lead

0:07:32.920 --> 0:07:34.920
<v Speaker 8>in the Western Division over the Dodgers, and now the

0:07:34.960 --> 0:07:37.400
<v Speaker 8>Dodgers come in with nine in front of San Diego

0:07:37.480 --> 0:07:40.200
<v Speaker 8>as we get said to go officially beginning the second

0:07:40.200 --> 0:07:41.640
<v Speaker 8>half of the season, Mamia.

0:07:41.760 --> 0:07:44.480
<v Speaker 7>The tables have turned quickly, and the Dodgers want to

0:07:44.560 --> 0:07:47.360
<v Speaker 7>keep the tables tilted in their favor against the Padres.

0:07:47.400 --> 0:07:49.800
<v Speaker 7>First pitch a little bit later, but before then, mo

0:07:50.160 --> 0:07:51.920
<v Speaker 7>we will have a key from you, Tim. Let's send

0:07:51.960 --> 0:07:52.720

<v Speaker 5>The former Dodger going against his former team for the

<v Speaker 5>second time in his career. First pitch from pet Goo Park,

0:09:10.360 --> 0:09:11.520
<v Speaker 5>coming up at six forty five.

0:09:12.200 --> 0:09:16.320
<v Speaker 2>This is the Otani three wide and half of those

0:09:16.360 --> 0:09:18.959
<v Speaker 2>have come in the fifth inning of games. Swinging amiss,

0:09:19.000 --> 0:09:23.120
<v Speaker 2>strike three, big sweeper cut on by Lewis. He makes

0:09:23.240 --> 0:09:25.840
<v Speaker 2>quick work of Royce Lewis and there's one away in

0:09:25.880 --> 0:09:29.520
<v Speaker 2>the Twins second. Derek Shelton did walk him the other

0:09:29.600 --> 0:09:32.880
<v Speaker 2>night with a runner at first, but they're going to

0:09:32.960 --> 0:09:35.040
<v Speaker 2>pitch to him now. As Ryan goes into the stretch,

0:09:35.080 --> 0:09:37.760
<v Speaker 2>looks at second, comes home and Otani hits the ground

0:09:37.760 --> 0:09:40.640
<v Speaker 2>ball up the middle. Freeland will round third, He'll come

0:09:40.679 --> 0:09:43.800
<v Speaker 2>around to score and O'tani gets one of those runs

0:09:43.880 --> 0:09:44.280
<v Speaker 2>right back.

0:09:44.320 --> 0:09:45.120
<v Speaker 1>Ats three to two.

0:09:46.360 --> 0:09:49.120
<v Speaker 2>Here's the two on the way to bell and he

0:09:49.200 --> 0:09:51.560
<v Speaker 2>chased another splitter. He had no idea where that one

0:09:51.600 --> 0:09:54.840
<v Speaker 2>of those. He strikes out on three pitches. Otani strikes

0:09:54.840 --> 0:09:58.120
<v Speaker 2>out the side. He's got five in the game. Otani

0:09:58.240 --> 0:10:02.160
<v Speaker 2>is three to two. Pitch swung on end miss strike three,

0:10:02.480 --> 0:10:10.520
<v Speaker 2>a sweeper strikeout number eight for Otani. Tani shrugs his shoulders,

0:10:10.600 --> 0:10:14.400
<v Speaker 2>kicks fires, swung on ground ball towards short, tightening stop

0:10:14.600 --> 0:10:17.960
<v Speaker 2>by Bets. He gets up throws loader first dugout by Freemouth.

0:10:18.559 --> 0:10:23.400
<v Speaker 2>Terrific play both ends and that is seven in a

0:10:23.440 --> 0:10:26.440
<v Speaker 2>row set down by Otani as he retires the Twins

0:10:26.480 --> 0:10:28.880
<v Speaker 2>in order in the bottom of the sixth. Then a

0:10:28.960 --> 0:10:32.800
<v Speaker 2>eighty nine pitches for show Hey through six wors throws in.

0:10:32.880 --> 0:10:35.640
<v Speaker 2>Otani hits a line, tried to write base hit, one

0:10:35.679 --> 0:10:41.560
<v Speaker 2>hop to clements second hit for Otani. He's averaging getting

0:10:41.559 --> 0:10:43.520
<v Speaker 2>on base at least twice a game, and he's done

0:10:43.559 --> 0:10:44.280
<v Speaker 2>that here tonight.

0:10:44.760 --> 0:10:45.880
<v Speaker 6>Busy night for show Hey.

0:10:45.920 --> 0:10:48.679
<v Speaker 5>Otani goes two for five with an RBI single at

0:10:48.720 --> 0:10:51.160
<v Speaker 5>the plate, now hitting two ninety five with a four

0:10:51.240 --> 0:10:55.240
<v Speaker 5>to fourteen on base percentage. Show Hootani the pitcher six

0:10:55.320 --> 0:10:57.960
<v Speaker 5>solid innings, give up three runs, two of which were earned,

0:10:58.280 --> 0:11:02.040
<v Speaker 5>five hits, eight strikeout eighty nine pitches as he gets

0:11:02.040 --> 0:11:03.880
<v Speaker 5>his eighth win of the season and a four to

0:11:03.960 --> 0:11:07.000
<v Speaker 5>three Dodger victory over the Minnesota Twins. How about Mookie

0:11:07.000 --> 0:11:09.280
<v Speaker 5>Bets was a triple away from the cycle. You went

0:11:09.400 --> 0:11:12.679
<v Speaker 5>three for four in Wednesday's game against the Twins and

0:11:12.760 --> 0:11:15.760
<v Speaker 5>afterwards got up with our Kirsena Watson Mookie.

0:11:15.760 --> 0:11:17.760
<v Speaker 10>You had things going on both sides of the ball.

0:11:17.800 --> 0:11:18.160
<v Speaker 1>Tonight.

0:11:18.240 --> 0:11:20.240
<v Speaker 10>But when we look at the numbers, offensively, you had

0:11:20.280 --> 0:11:22.160
<v Speaker 10>three hits and one of them happened to be your

0:11:22.240 --> 0:11:25.559
<v Speaker 10>three hundredth home run. You are hitting so many milestones

0:11:25.559 --> 0:11:27.839
<v Speaker 10>here soon when you think about three hundred and when

0:11:27.840 --> 0:11:29.880
<v Speaker 10>it comes to the home run, how special is that

0:11:29.920 --> 0:11:30.600
<v Speaker 10>achievement to you?

0:11:31.720 --> 0:11:33.880
<v Speaker 11>I'm in a special I guess I just mean that

0:11:34.000 --> 0:11:35.800
<v Speaker 11>old you know, I've been in for a long time,

0:11:36.960 --> 0:11:38.760
<v Speaker 11>but you know, I guess it kind of comes with

0:11:38.800 --> 0:11:42.040
<v Speaker 11>the territory. I've been pretty good and just got to

0:11:42.080 --> 0:11:43.200
<v Speaker 11>keep on helping the boys wins.

0:11:43.559 --> 0:11:45.880
<v Speaker 10>You look at just the numbers right now, offensively, those

0:11:45.920 --> 0:11:48.200
<v Speaker 10>three hits, you're a triple shy of the cycle. But

0:11:48.240 --> 0:11:50.040
<v Speaker 10>how much confidence are you just feeling back at the

0:11:50.040 --> 0:11:52.839
<v Speaker 10>plate right now considering the results you're seeing now?

0:11:52.920 --> 0:11:56.360
<v Speaker 11>I mean, I'm feeling pretty confident, feeling pretty normal. I

0:11:56.400 --> 0:11:58.800
<v Speaker 11>know I've said it before and then it didn't kind

0:11:58.800 --> 0:12:00.760
<v Speaker 11>of pan out, but I felt like this is a

0:12:00.800 --> 0:12:03.280
<v Speaker 11>little different. So we'll just ride the way.

0:12:03.480 --> 0:12:04.960
<v Speaker 1>You look at how you guys won this game.

0:12:04.960 --> 0:12:06.400
<v Speaker 10>I know it started with the show, hey, but to

0:12:06.400 --> 0:12:08.360
<v Speaker 10>see this bullpen, how they thought through to pick up

0:12:08.400 --> 0:12:10.240
<v Speaker 10>this win. What are you just seeing from the guys

0:12:10.280 --> 0:12:11.199
<v Speaker 10>coming out of the bullpen.

0:12:11.760 --> 0:12:13.760
<v Speaker 11>They did an amazing job and just keeping them off balanced.

0:12:13.760 --> 0:12:14.959
<v Speaker 11>I know we got in a little bit of trouble,

0:12:14.960 --> 0:12:16.040
<v Speaker 11>but they got themselves out of it.

0:12:16.920 --> 0:12:17.120
<v Speaker 9>Show.

0:12:17.160 --> 0:12:20.600
<v Speaker 11>Hey had a little misstep early, but he was able

0:12:20.600 --> 0:12:22.880
<v Speaker 11>to kind of settle in. So the guys are just

0:12:22.920 --> 0:12:24.200
<v Speaker 11>resilient and it showed.

0:12:24.440 --> 0:12:25.839
<v Speaker 10>Do you think it was settling in for a show?

0:12:25.840 --> 0:12:26.000
<v Speaker 1>Hare?

0:12:26.080 --> 0:12:27.480
<v Speaker 10>Did you feel like there was another edge after that

0:12:27.480 --> 0:12:28.280
<v Speaker 10>second ending of work.

0:12:28.480 --> 0:12:30.280
<v Speaker 11>That's probably a little bit of both. I mean, once

0:12:30.320 --> 0:12:32.800
<v Speaker 11>he was able to settle in, and when he gets

0:12:32.800 --> 0:12:35.400
<v Speaker 11>fired up, you know he's he's already the best player

0:12:35.400 --> 0:12:37.040
<v Speaker 11>in the world, but when he gets fired up, it's

0:12:37.040 --> 0:12:38.920
<v Speaker 11>even better. And so at that point we were just

0:12:39.559 --> 0:12:41.200
<v Speaker 11>kind of sitting back and watching the show.

0:12:41.080 --> 0:12:42.920
<v Speaker 10>Now this is a the recenty road trip. How important

0:12:43.000 --> 0:12:44.360
<v Speaker 10>is it for you guys to start on such a

0:12:44.400 --> 0:12:46.400
<v Speaker 10>high note with the sweep of your first team against

0:12:46.440 --> 0:12:47.559
<v Speaker 10>you guys you're be seeing.

0:12:48.240 --> 0:12:51.160
<v Speaker 11>Super important, especially going into San Diego.

0:12:50.840 --> 0:12:51.360
<v Speaker 6>Where we're going.

0:12:51.400 --> 0:12:53.720
<v Speaker 11>We know they're going to be hungry and I'm ready

0:12:53.760 --> 0:12:55.200
<v Speaker 11>to go, so at least we can go in with

<v Speaker 5>lineup tonight for the Dodgers. Dalton Rushing back in the

<v Speaker 5>lineup as he was the other night behind the plate.

0:14:25.840 --> 0:14:27.760
<v Speaker 5>Kyle Tucker has been out of the line up the

0:14:27.800 --> 0:14:30.520
<v Speaker 5>last two games, but back in there, batting sixth and

0:14:30.640 --> 0:14:33.360
<v Speaker 5>playing right field. Will Smith on the IL with the

0:14:33.400 --> 0:14:36.320
<v Speaker 5>neck information. Ti Oscar Hernandez on the IL. He's in

0:14:36.320 --> 0:14:38.920
<v Speaker 5>Triple A Oklahoma City on her minor league rehab assignment.

0:14:39.160 --> 0:14:42.200
<v Speaker 5>Tyler glassnow just not progressing with those lower back spasms.

0:14:42.200 --> 0:14:45.280
<v Speaker 5>Blake Snell is progressing. He is now throwing off the mount,

0:14:45.320 --> 0:14:48.440
<v Speaker 5>expecting three to four bullpen sessions before he can go

0:14:48.480 --> 0:14:51.040
<v Speaker 5>out on a minor league rehabit assignment. Edwin Diaz is

0:14:51.040 --> 0:14:53.920
<v Speaker 5>throwing bullpen sessions, so that is good news. However, Evan

0:14:53.960 --> 0:14:56.760
<v Speaker 5>Phillips appears to be the closest Dodger reliever.

0:14:56.800 --> 0:14:58.600
<v Speaker 6>To making a return.

0:14:58.680 --> 0:15:01.120
<v Speaker 5>Well, the Dodgers get the went on Wednesday night in

0:15:01.200 --> 0:15:03.520
<v Speaker 5>Minnesota four to three over the Twins. Mookie Bets had

0:15:03.560 --> 0:15:05.960
<v Speaker 5>a big game Showeotani got the win. But how about

0:15:05.960 --> 0:15:08.720
<v Speaker 5>Max Munsey two for four and a big RBI single

0:15:08.720 --> 0:15:10.239
<v Speaker 5>and afterwards talk with Davidvesse.

0:15:10.880 --> 0:15:14.000
<v Speaker 4>Max, Let's start with the team. You guys come in here,

0:15:14.120 --> 0:15:16.480
<v Speaker 4>you sweep this three game series. Who went two games

0:15:16.480 --> 0:15:19.200
<v Speaker 4>again by one run? How good did it feel to

0:15:19.280 --> 0:15:20.720
<v Speaker 4>kind of get back on track again?

0:15:21.040 --> 0:15:21.240
<v Speaker 6>Yeah?

0:15:21.240 --> 0:15:22.680
<v Speaker 12>It was a you know, it's a good serious for us,

0:15:22.720 --> 0:15:25.320
<v Speaker 12>good start with the road trip. Hopefully been carried momentum

0:15:25.880 --> 0:15:27.480
<v Speaker 12>through the off day. You know, off day, wou get

0:15:27.480 --> 0:15:30.160
<v Speaker 12>for one gear, little rest and you know, just keep going.

0:15:30.560 --> 0:15:33.920
<v Speaker 4>You guys made Joe Ryan look pretty average tonight. Why

0:15:33.960 --> 0:15:35.800
<v Speaker 4>were you guys so effective against him?

0:15:36.320 --> 0:15:37.520
<v Speaker 12>Uh? You know, I think we had I think we

0:15:37.560 --> 0:15:39.680
<v Speaker 12>had a good game plan and we were, you know,

0:15:39.720 --> 0:15:42.280
<v Speaker 12>we were executing it well. And then you know, towards

0:15:42.320 --> 0:15:44.000
<v Speaker 12>the end, he kind of shifted from from what he

0:15:44.080 --> 0:15:45.560
<v Speaker 12>was doing and he kind of got a little got

0:15:45.640 --> 0:15:47.440
<v Speaker 12>us a little off balance. But you know, coming out

0:15:47.480 --> 0:15:49.040
<v Speaker 12>of the gate, we we did what we wanted to.

0:15:49.040 --> 0:15:51.360
<v Speaker 4>Do in that third inning where you're able to score

0:15:51.520 --> 0:15:54.280
<v Speaker 4>three runs. You tied the game with an RBI based

0:15:54.360 --> 0:15:56.720
<v Speaker 4>it did you? Were you surprised he never threw you

0:15:56.720 --> 0:15:58.960
<v Speaker 4>a fastball and any of your first two at bats.

0:15:59.280 --> 0:16:00.000
<v Speaker 8>No, not at all.

0:16:00.240 --> 0:16:02.960
<v Speaker 12>Uh, that's just you know, I understand who I am,

0:16:03.000 --> 0:16:04.880
<v Speaker 12>and that's a you know, it's part of when I

0:16:04.880 --> 0:16:06.840
<v Speaker 12>step in the box. You got to understand that there's

0:16:06.880 --> 0:16:08.560
<v Speaker 12>not many times I'm gonna see a fastball, and so

0:16:08.640 --> 0:16:10.080
<v Speaker 12>you know he's gotta be ready for the other stuff.

0:16:10.200 --> 0:16:12.240
<v Speaker 4>I'll tell you who you are. You're an All Star.

0:16:12.680 --> 0:16:17.120

<v Speaker 5>the most votes through the first two rounds, so he

0:16:29.040 --> 0:16:32.400

<v Speaker 4>I accept everybody for who they are.

0:17:38.920 --> 0:17:42.160
<v Speaker 1>This is Dodger insider David Bassi.

0:17:42.600 --> 0:17:45.040
<v Speaker 5>All right, DV A lot of talk after Wednesday's game.

0:17:45.080 --> 0:17:47.359
<v Speaker 5>What happened in the second evening with Dalton rushing and

0:17:47.400 --> 0:17:51.560
<v Speaker 5>Showy Otani. Do we expect moving forward rushing to be

0:17:51.600 --> 0:17:53.440
<v Speaker 5>behind the plate when Otani's on the mound.

0:17:54.600 --> 0:17:58.399
<v Speaker 4>Dave Roberts told the media earlier today he hasn't fully

0:17:58.520 --> 0:18:02.359
<v Speaker 4>decided yet, but he is leaning towards having rushing catch

0:18:02.440 --> 0:18:05.800
<v Speaker 4>him Wednesday in Sacramento, and if that happens, or if

0:18:05.800 --> 0:18:09.520
<v Speaker 4>it's Chuckie Robinson, I fully expect Otani to call his

0:18:09.560 --> 0:18:12.800
<v Speaker 4>own pitches from the very first pitch, and that's the

0:18:12.800 --> 0:18:16.040
<v Speaker 4>way it should go. Everybody I've spoken to, as far

0:18:16.040 --> 0:18:18.960
<v Speaker 4>as his teammates go, believe that's the best route for

0:18:19.080 --> 0:18:22.320
<v Speaker 4>him to go until Will Smith returns. Call your own pitches,

0:18:22.400 --> 0:18:25.720
<v Speaker 4>so you have that conviction behind what you want to throw,

0:18:25.760 --> 0:18:30.080
<v Speaker 4>and he obviously has a clear intention of which pitches

0:18:30.119 --> 0:18:33.919
<v Speaker 4>he wants to throw. So don't leave any sort of

0:18:34.240 --> 0:18:38.240
<v Speaker 4>window for something like Wednesday to happen again, David.

0:18:38.320 --> 0:18:41.680
<v Speaker 5>The devastating earthquake down in Venezuela a couple of days ago,

0:18:41.800 --> 0:18:44.640
<v Speaker 5>and I know it's affected several Dodger players.

0:18:45.400 --> 0:18:49.359
<v Speaker 4>Well, first and foremost Miguel Rojas and Edgardo Enriquez. But

0:18:49.480 --> 0:18:53.080
<v Speaker 4>Rojas specifically because his wife and kids are back in

0:18:53.200 --> 0:18:57.320
<v Speaker 4>Venezuela and they were in Caracas when those two seven

0:18:57.359 --> 0:19:02.879
<v Speaker 4>point one earthquakes hit that country three Venezuela. Luckily they're okay.

0:19:03.320 --> 0:19:06.159
<v Speaker 4>The buildings around them collapsed, but they were able to

0:19:06.280 --> 0:19:09.320
<v Speaker 4>escape the building they were in through the stairwell. We

0:19:09.400 --> 0:19:11.480
<v Speaker 4>had a chance to catch up with Rojas in the

0:19:11.520 --> 0:19:15.439
<v Speaker 4>Dodger Clubhouse earlier today to talk about the devastation in

0:19:15.560 --> 0:19:17.240
<v Speaker 4>Venezuela to its home country.

0:19:17.640 --> 0:19:19.679
<v Speaker 3>Because everything is okay with my family, that doesn't mean

0:19:19.720 --> 0:19:22.800
<v Speaker 3>everything is okay with the country. We're going through really

0:19:22.800 --> 0:19:26.639
<v Speaker 3>tough moments right now, and I just wish and hope

0:19:26.680 --> 0:19:28.760
<v Speaker 3>for everybody to kind of like pray for us, because

0:19:29.920 --> 0:19:33.639
<v Speaker 3>it's devastated seeing how many families are losing everything. And

0:19:33.720 --> 0:19:37.840
<v Speaker 3>I'm not talking about things in general, it's just life,

0:19:37.880 --> 0:19:41.600
<v Speaker 3>you know. It's really tough because I got a pretty

0:19:41.640 --> 0:19:44.280
<v Speaker 3>close connection to the city where a lot of the

0:19:44.320 --> 0:19:46.920
<v Speaker 3>things are happening right now, which is Lawaida. I play

0:19:46.960 --> 0:19:49.720
<v Speaker 3>in that city for so many years, and it's really

0:19:49.760 --> 0:19:54.639
<v Speaker 3>tough to see teammates of mine and players who I

0:19:54.680 --> 0:19:57.240
<v Speaker 3>play with at some point in my career to lose

0:19:57.280 --> 0:20:02.480
<v Speaker 3>family members and to lose kids, and it's really devastating.

0:20:02.640 --> 0:20:04.200
<v Speaker 3>It's been really hard for me to go to sleep,

0:20:04.280 --> 0:20:06.480
<v Speaker 3>and actually my family is in Mannesula right now. My

0:20:06.560 --> 0:20:09.119
<v Speaker 3>kids and my wife are in Venezuela, and they have

0:20:09.200 --> 0:20:11.040
<v Speaker 3>to go through that a couple a couple of days

0:20:11.040 --> 0:20:15.560
<v Speaker 3>ago when it happened, and I just I just feel

0:20:17.000 --> 0:20:20.200
<v Speaker 3>terry right now. I mean, they're they're in a place

0:20:20.200 --> 0:20:26.400
<v Speaker 3>where they have power, they have connection, they have everything

0:20:26.440 --> 0:20:28.840
<v Speaker 3>that we need to talk and stay in contact every

0:20:28.840 --> 0:20:32.720
<v Speaker 3>single day. But it's still still really feel like I'm

0:20:32.760 --> 0:20:33.720
<v Speaker 3>so far away from them.

0:20:35.080 --> 0:20:39.040
<v Speaker 4>Obviously, another difficult moment for Miguel Rojas, who lost his

0:20:39.200 --> 0:20:42.919
<v Speaker 4>father earlier this year when he was back in Venezuela

0:20:42.960 --> 0:20:46.639
<v Speaker 4>and passed away. But the Dodgers and Padres are both

0:20:46.760 --> 0:20:50.040
<v Speaker 4>wearing VZ on the side of their hats tonight, tim

0:20:50.600 --> 0:20:54.520
<v Speaker 4>just to lend support, let the people of Venezuela know

0:20:54.640 --> 0:20:57.679
<v Speaker 4>that they're not alone and that they're acknowledging that this

0:20:57.920 --> 0:21:02.639
<v Speaker 4>is a devastating, uh natural disaster that has taken many lives.

0:21:02.680 --> 0:21:06.000
<v Speaker 4>And there's many baseball players in the big leagues, not

0:21:06.240 --> 0:21:09.919
<v Speaker 4>just Rojas and Enriquez, that are from Venezuela. So the

0:21:09.960 --> 0:21:14.040
<v Speaker 4>Major League Baseball community, specifically the Dodgers and Padres tonight

0:21:14.440 --> 0:21:17.600
<v Speaker 4>going to acknowledge that VZ on the side of their hats.

0:21:17.600 --> 0:21:19.119
<v Speaker 6>That our thoughts are with everybody down there.

0:21:19.200 --> 0:21:20.679

<v Speaker 5>to your Southern California Ford dealer today or buy Ford

0:21:32.119 --> 0:21:35.560
<v Speaker 5>now dot com. Walker Bueller, for the second time David

0:21:35.560 --> 0:21:38.040
<v Speaker 5>in his career since leaving the Dodgers is facing his

0:21:38.119 --> 0:21:38.920
<v Speaker 5>former team to nine.

0:21:39.800 --> 0:21:40.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:21:40.119 --> 0:21:43.320
<v Speaker 4>Last year, before the Red Sox let Bueller go, the

0:21:43.400 --> 0:21:46.840
<v Speaker 4>Dodgers were at Fenway Park and face Bueller. He didn't

0:21:46.840 --> 0:21:49.560
<v Speaker 4>even get through the fifth inning. And the people I've

0:21:49.600 --> 0:21:52.640
<v Speaker 4>spoken to on the Dodgers side believe that he does

0:21:52.680 --> 0:21:55.360
<v Speaker 4>not want to give up any home runs. He'd rather

0:21:55.480 --> 0:21:57.720
<v Speaker 4>walk the house than give up home runs. And that's

0:21:57.800 --> 0:22:00.760
<v Speaker 4>kind of what we saw in Boston last year. So

0:22:01.280 --> 0:22:04.199
<v Speaker 4>Bueller has been pitching much better for the Padres, but

0:22:04.240 --> 0:22:07.040
<v Speaker 4>he's not going much deeper than five innings in games.

0:22:07.080 --> 0:22:09.960
<v Speaker 4>So uh for at the very least, you're gonna see

0:22:09.960 --> 0:22:13.400
<v Speaker 4>Bueller in there for five innings and we'll see whether

0:22:13.560 --> 0:22:16.320
<v Speaker 4>or not, his emotions will be in check enough to

0:22:16.359 --> 0:22:18.720
<v Speaker 4>be effective against this former team.

0:22:18.840 --> 0:22:20.600
<v Speaker 6>Very emotional out there on the mount. All right, David,

0:22:20.640 --> 0:22:21.040
<v Speaker 6>great stuff.

0:22:21.119 --> 0:22:22.760
<v Speaker 5>Dave's gonna go one on one with the manager, Dave

0:22:22.840 --> 0:22:24.760
<v Speaker 5>Roberts coming up in about fifteen minutes.

0:22:24.800 --> 0:22:25.879

<v Speaker 5>Well, the Dodgers taken on the Padres. We go back

0:23:20.720 --> 0:23:24.639
<v Speaker 5>two years to the NLDS Dodgers and Padres. Remember that

0:23:24.720 --> 0:23:27.200
<v Speaker 5>series was in favor of the San Diego Padres two

0:23:27.320 --> 0:23:29.800
<v Speaker 5>games to one. Going back to Game four at Petco

0:23:29.960 --> 0:23:32.080
<v Speaker 5>Park and what was a bullpen game for the Dodgers,

0:23:32.160 --> 0:23:34.920
<v Speaker 5>yet they shut out the Padres eight to nothing. Two

0:23:35.040 --> 0:23:38.879
<v Speaker 5>days later, decisive Game five at Dodgers Stadium. It was

0:23:38.960 --> 0:23:43.400
<v Speaker 5>Yoshinobu Yamamoto and you darbished the pitching matchup keyk Hernandez

0:23:43.480 --> 0:23:45.399
<v Speaker 5>and a solo home run in the bottom of the

0:23:45.440 --> 0:23:47.359
<v Speaker 5>second to give the Dodgers a one to nothing lead.

0:23:47.680 --> 0:23:48.560
<v Speaker 6>Then in the bottom of.

0:23:48.560 --> 0:23:52.000
<v Speaker 5>The seventh inning, tay Oscar Hernandez would go deep for

0:23:52.040 --> 0:23:55.840
<v Speaker 5>a solo home run, Dodgers up to nothing. Ninth eighteen

0:23:55.960 --> 0:23:58.200
<v Speaker 5>Blake trying it on to close it outs.

0:23:58.920 --> 0:24:04.560
<v Speaker 13>Dodgers two, Padres nothing. Game five of the Division Series

0:24:04.640 --> 0:24:08.439
<v Speaker 13>comes down to this tryn in against Fernando Tatis Junior.

0:24:14.920 --> 0:24:18.160
<v Speaker 13>Here's the pitch, Tati swings chopping.

0:24:17.880 --> 0:24:20.200
<v Speaker 6>A third beckhead picked by Hernandez.

0:24:20.400 --> 0:24:23.680
<v Speaker 1>There's the throw the doe in for Alay.

0:24:26.680 --> 0:24:30.720
<v Speaker 6>Fireworks go off and straight away center Field as the

0:24:30.760 --> 0:24:34.160
<v Speaker 6>Dodgers shut out the Padres in back.

0:24:34.000 --> 0:24:35.000
<v Speaker 14>To back games.

0:24:35.440 --> 0:24:42.640
<v Speaker 5>They are going to the National League Championship Series. Down

0:24:42.680 --> 0:24:45.440
<v Speaker 5>two games to one, they win Game four, and then

0:24:45.480 --> 0:24:48.560
<v Speaker 5>they win Game five, a two to nothing shutout to

0:24:48.680 --> 0:24:51.240
<v Speaker 5>send the Dodgers to the NLCS. And then we know

0:24:51.320 --> 0:24:54.160

0:25:54.680 --> 0:25:57.040
<v Speaker 14>All right, Tim, it's the Dodgers and the Padres. It

0:25:57.119 --> 0:25:59.360
<v Speaker 14>is game one of the second half of the season.

0:26:00.240 --> 0:26:04.359
<v Speaker 14>On May the eighteenth, the Dodgers trailed by one half

0:26:04.440 --> 0:26:08.000
<v Speaker 14>game to the Padres. But since then the Padres have

0:26:08.080 --> 0:26:11.760
<v Speaker 14>gone thirteen and nineteen, while the Dodgers have gone twenty

0:26:11.800 --> 0:26:14.920
<v Speaker 14>three and ten. And that is how the Dodgers find

0:26:14.960 --> 0:26:18.320
<v Speaker 14>themselves nine games in front of San Diego in the

0:26:18.400 --> 0:26:21.159
<v Speaker 14>National League West and most of the Padres.

0:26:21.200 --> 0:26:23.200
<v Speaker 6>This is really a do or die series.

0:26:23.640 --> 0:26:26.840
<v Speaker 14>Not necessarily that they're going to be catching the Dodgers,

0:26:26.840 --> 0:26:28.960
<v Speaker 14>not the way the Dodgers have been playing at this point.

0:26:29.440 --> 0:26:32.600
<v Speaker 14>But they've got a lot of company in that wildcard race.

0:26:32.960 --> 0:26:35.040
<v Speaker 14>And then again, as we mentioned, they're going to be

0:26:35.080 --> 0:26:37.560
<v Speaker 14>playing the Dodgers quite a bit, seven times in the

0:26:37.600 --> 0:26:38.480
<v Speaker 14>next ten days.

0:26:38.560 --> 0:26:40.960
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, and on the home turf. These are the final

0:26:41.000 --> 0:26:43.600
<v Speaker 8>three games this year during their regular season. Dodgers have

0:26:43.640 --> 0:26:45.919
<v Speaker 8>already been here once and you only make two trips

0:26:46.160 --> 0:26:50.639
<v Speaker 8>to your division, so yeah, time is not really in

0:26:50.680 --> 0:26:52.760
<v Speaker 8>the favor of San Diego. Then you start to look

0:26:52.760 --> 0:26:55.040
<v Speaker 8>at what the Dodgers have done. Not only three and

0:26:55.119 --> 0:26:57.040
<v Speaker 8>zero on this road trip, Charlie, but you go back

0:26:57.080 --> 0:26:59.760
<v Speaker 8>over the bigger home. They've won twenty one of the

0:26:59.800 --> 0:27:03.360
<v Speaker 8>land thirty games, and they've done it in very fine fashion.

0:27:03.440 --> 0:27:05.240
<v Speaker 8>This is a team right now that we're looking at

0:27:05.280 --> 0:27:07.480
<v Speaker 8>with this Dodger team. Oh, they have a couple of

0:27:07.520 --> 0:27:11.000
<v Speaker 8>clunckers here and there, but they have just not taken

0:27:11.040 --> 0:27:12.400
<v Speaker 8>their foot off the accelerator.

0:27:12.760 --> 0:27:15.600
<v Speaker 14>At fifty two and twenty nine, they've got the best

0:27:15.640 --> 0:27:18.200
<v Speaker 14>record in baseball. In fact, they're the only team over

0:27:18.359 --> 0:27:21.879
<v Speaker 14>fifty wins. So they're sitting pretty with a run differential

0:27:21.920 --> 0:27:24.119
<v Speaker 14>of one hundred and forty four in a pace to

0:27:24.160 --> 0:27:27.119
<v Speaker 14>win one hundred and four games this year. The Padres

0:27:27.200 --> 0:27:29.879
<v Speaker 14>just trying to hang on for dear life. They haven't

0:27:29.920 --> 0:27:32.400
<v Speaker 14>been able to hit a leg all year and try

0:27:32.480 --> 0:27:36.160
<v Speaker 14>to turn it around to night against Roki Sasaki, Walker Bueller,

0:27:36.280 --> 0:27:39.120
<v Speaker 14>the old Dodger will be facing the Dodgers tonight.

0:27:39.400 --> 0:27:41.320
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, I mean, I think one thing to look for

0:27:41.440 --> 0:27:44.440
<v Speaker 8>in this series and based upon what you were just saying,

0:27:44.440 --> 0:27:46.520
<v Speaker 8>and I agree one hundred percent, is that the Pondres

0:27:46.560 --> 0:27:48.320
<v Speaker 8>have to make a move sometime if they're going to

0:27:48.320 --> 0:27:50.080
<v Speaker 8>make a move at all, and do it very soon.

0:27:50.960 --> 0:27:52.919
<v Speaker 8>My point being is that I think they're going to

0:27:52.960 --> 0:27:53.679
<v Speaker 8>force the issue.

0:27:53.720 --> 0:27:54.480
<v Speaker 9>They can force the.

0:27:54.400 --> 0:27:57.119
<v Speaker 8>Issue on the bases if they can get on. Pondres

0:27:57.160 --> 0:28:00.880
<v Speaker 8>have stole it eighty two bases already this year, what

0:28:00.920 --> 0:28:04.080
<v Speaker 8>about the Dodgers thirty three. There's a big disparity right there.

0:28:04.160 --> 0:28:06.360
<v Speaker 8>So I think they're going to try and run some rabbits.

0:28:06.400 --> 0:28:09.239
<v Speaker 8>If they can get on tonight against Sasaki, I mean,

0:28:09.280 --> 0:28:11.120
<v Speaker 8>if they can get on during this series, I think

0:28:11.160 --> 0:28:13.720
<v Speaker 8>they're going to push the button to try and steal bases.

0:28:13.880 --> 0:28:16.840
<v Speaker 14>They're gonna have to. The Dodgers have a better road

0:28:16.920 --> 0:28:20.159
<v Speaker 14>record at twenty six and fifteen, then the Padres have

0:28:20.200 --> 0:28:23.919
<v Speaker 14>a home record, which is twenty two and nineteen. But

0:28:24.000 --> 0:28:27.720
<v Speaker 14>as offensively, the Dodgers are first in the National League

0:28:27.840 --> 0:28:32.679
<v Speaker 14>or second in batting average, hits, runs on base percentage,

0:28:32.760 --> 0:28:36.440
<v Speaker 14>home runs, and RBI's. The Padres, on the other hand,

0:28:36.680 --> 0:28:39.800
<v Speaker 14>are last in all those categories, with the exception of

0:28:39.840 --> 0:28:42.800
<v Speaker 14>home runs, where they rank twelfth. So the Dodgers can hit,

0:28:43.160 --> 0:28:46.760
<v Speaker 14>the Padres can't. The big question is can the Padre

0:28:46.960 --> 0:28:49.760
<v Speaker 14>pitching keep the Dodgers at bay? And the way things

0:28:49.800 --> 0:28:51.680
<v Speaker 14>have been going as hot as the Dodgers have been,

0:28:52.000 --> 0:28:52.960
<v Speaker 14>that's a tall order.

0:28:53.240 --> 0:28:55.480
<v Speaker 8>It's a tall order. And for the and Andres said

0:28:55.480 --> 0:28:57.640
<v Speaker 8>their bullpen has been doing a very good job. But

0:28:57.760 --> 0:29:01.440
<v Speaker 8>what do they inherit along the way is Walker Brueler

0:29:01.480 --> 0:29:04.000
<v Speaker 8>has been on a roll the four starts in the

0:29:04.040 --> 0:29:07.400
<v Speaker 8>month of June. His era is very low, one point

0:29:07.520 --> 0:29:11.120
<v Speaker 8>seven to one and he's allowed just one home run

0:29:11.440 --> 0:29:13.880
<v Speaker 8>here so far in the month of June. So he's

0:29:13.880 --> 0:29:16.840
<v Speaker 8>making a fifth start and he has really depended upon

0:29:17.240 --> 0:29:20.040
<v Speaker 8>the cunt face ball and particular the slider.

0:29:20.400 --> 0:29:23.640
<v Speaker 14>Mooki Betts Boy, he's finally turned it on that his

0:29:23.720 --> 0:29:27.800
<v Speaker 14>three hundredth home run of his career on Wednesday in Minneapolis.

0:29:28.040 --> 0:29:31.800
<v Speaker 14>Became the seventeenth active player with three hundred since the

0:29:31.880 --> 0:29:35.720
<v Speaker 14>thirteenth of June the last eleven games. Mooki is seventeen

0:29:35.800 --> 0:29:38.520
<v Speaker 14>for his last forty five and a three seventy eight

0:29:38.600 --> 0:29:42.440
<v Speaker 14>clip and that fellow Otani in his last thirty five games,

0:29:42.640 --> 0:29:46.760
<v Speaker 14>he's hitting three sixty four with eleven home runs thirty RB.

0:29:46.920 --> 0:29:50.040
<v Speaker 14>I's had a four to seventy two on base percentage.

0:29:50.240 --> 0:29:52.640
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, for bets, he's doing it not only with the bat.

0:29:52.720 --> 0:29:57.400
<v Speaker 8>He made three just absolutely terrific plays in that series,

0:29:57.520 --> 0:30:01.240
<v Speaker 8>just completed as they were in Minneapolis against the Twins

0:30:01.280 --> 0:30:03.960
<v Speaker 8>where they swept all three games in that particular area.

0:30:04.000 --> 0:30:06.920
<v Speaker 8>And Ben's also if you go, eleven hits in his

0:30:07.040 --> 0:30:10.960
<v Speaker 8>last twenty nine advanced three seventy nine average in the

0:30:11.040 --> 0:30:12.200
<v Speaker 8>last seven games.

0:30:12.440 --> 0:30:15.240
<v Speaker 14>And Freddie Freeman just keeps motoring along. But on the

0:30:15.280 --> 0:30:20.320
<v Speaker 14>other hand, the Padres Manny Machada. Manny Machado's hitting one

0:30:20.440 --> 0:30:24.080
<v Speaker 14>hundred and eighty four lowest batting average in the BIGS,

0:30:24.320 --> 0:30:28.520
<v Speaker 14>fourteen home runs forty three RBIs Tatis finally beginning to

0:30:28.560 --> 0:30:30.520
<v Speaker 14>heat it up a little bit. He's been on base

0:30:30.600 --> 0:30:34.680
<v Speaker 14>eighteen consecutive games. But the Padres all, you just have

0:30:34.920 --> 0:30:36.800
<v Speaker 14>not been able to hit a lick.

0:30:37.320 --> 0:30:39.800
<v Speaker 8>No, they've had trouble offensively. In fact, you start to

0:30:39.840 --> 0:30:44.040
<v Speaker 8>look overall, they have allowed more runs scored against them

0:30:44.200 --> 0:30:46.160
<v Speaker 8>than runs that they hit put up on the board,

0:30:46.200 --> 0:30:48.880
<v Speaker 8>and that is not going to be really playing very

0:30:48.880 --> 0:30:51.560
<v Speaker 8>well in their division. However, if you look at it,

0:30:51.800 --> 0:30:54.560
<v Speaker 8>Padres feeling good about this, Charlie. They just swept the

0:30:54.560 --> 0:30:57.520
<v Speaker 8>Atlanta Raims here before. The Dodgers and the Padres play

0:30:57.600 --> 0:30:59.719
<v Speaker 8>tonight and it's a big, big series.

0:30:59.800 --> 0:31:03.680
<v Speaker 14>Four the Padres as the Dodgers begin the second leg

0:31:03.760 --> 0:31:06.720

<v Speaker 1>a Dodger player.

0:32:39.480 --> 0:32:40.719
<v Speaker 6>It's an engagement of endearment.

<v Speaker 4>We're in his hometown. We are in slam Diego, that's

0:32:47.280 --> 0:32:49.520
<v Speaker 4>what they used to call it. But the Dodgers are

0:32:49.600 --> 0:32:52.320
<v Speaker 4>back here at Petco Park. The last time they were here,

0:32:52.360 --> 0:32:54.160
<v Speaker 4>they had a game and a half lead in the

0:32:54.280 --> 0:32:56.960
<v Speaker 4>NL West. Now a nine game lead over the San

0:32:57.000 --> 0:33:00.160
<v Speaker 4>Diego Padres, and I'm in the office, the managers off

0:33:00.840 --> 0:33:03.719
<v Speaker 4>of the man that has three World championships as the

0:33:03.720 --> 0:33:07.640

<v Speaker 15>Always fun catching up with you, having a conversation, and yeah,

0:33:19.440 --> 0:33:22.120
<v Speaker 15>coming off and off day got in the late a

0:33:22.160 --> 0:33:25.800
<v Speaker 15>couple of nights ago, guys reset did what they could do.

0:33:25.880 --> 0:33:27.800
<v Speaker 15>And then today, you know, just kind of going around

0:33:27.840 --> 0:33:29.800
<v Speaker 15>the clubhouse, everyone seemed recharged.

0:33:30.040 --> 0:33:32.560
<v Speaker 4>Were you surprised even on the day off, just how

0:33:32.920 --> 0:33:35.520
<v Speaker 4>whatever took place in Minnesota took on a life of

0:33:35.560 --> 0:33:37.920
<v Speaker 4>its own with social media. I mean, it just seems

0:33:37.960 --> 0:33:40.000
<v Speaker 4>like there's no controlling some of these things.

0:33:40.240 --> 0:33:40.960
<v Speaker 9>No, I get it.

0:33:41.000 --> 0:33:44.560
<v Speaker 15>And when you're the Los Angeles Dodgers, everything is certainly

0:33:44.600 --> 0:33:48.160
<v Speaker 15>more magnified. And I guess the off day came at

0:33:48.200 --> 0:33:50.560
<v Speaker 15>the right time, and you know, just seeing the guys

0:33:50.640 --> 0:33:54.360
<v Speaker 15>right now. Ultimately we won three games there, and you're

0:33:54.400 --> 0:33:58.600
<v Speaker 15>always trying to get better with communication amongst staff, players, staff,

0:33:58.880 --> 0:34:02.200
<v Speaker 15>our players, among play players, and so that's part of it.

0:34:02.280 --> 0:34:03.760
<v Speaker 9>So nothing is always easy.

0:34:03.840 --> 0:34:06.440
<v Speaker 15>But you know, coming in here today, I feel really

0:34:06.440 --> 0:34:08.520
<v Speaker 15>good about, you know, communication, where we're at.

0:34:08.840 --> 0:34:12.280
<v Speaker 4>You got Walker Bueller on the mound for the padres today.

0:34:12.440 --> 0:34:15.239
<v Speaker 4>Obviously he's meant a lot to you, a lot to

0:34:15.280 --> 0:34:18.560
<v Speaker 4>the Dodgers. What do you expect tonight as far as

0:34:18.920 --> 0:34:21.440
<v Speaker 4>his emotions. Do you feel like that may get the

0:34:21.480 --> 0:34:22.520
<v Speaker 4>better of him tonight?

0:34:22.840 --> 0:34:25.000
<v Speaker 15>Well, I think it's going to bring out the best

0:34:25.000 --> 0:34:28.160
<v Speaker 15>in him in the sense of his motivation to want

0:34:28.160 --> 0:34:31.880
<v Speaker 15>to pitch well against us. He means a lot to me, obviously,

0:34:32.040 --> 0:34:34.520
<v Speaker 15>means a lot to the Dodger fans. Considering what he's

0:34:34.560 --> 0:34:37.400
<v Speaker 15>done for all of us. I think who he is now,

0:34:37.760 --> 0:34:41.680
<v Speaker 15>he has sort of reinvented himself. The fastball is not

0:34:41.880 --> 0:34:44.279
<v Speaker 15>ninety seven ninety eight. You're going to see fours and

0:34:44.800 --> 0:34:47.720
<v Speaker 15>threes and three to five. There's be a lot of cutters,

0:34:47.760 --> 0:34:50.319
<v Speaker 15>a lot of curveballs, you know, some two seamers, and

0:34:50.400 --> 0:34:53.040
<v Speaker 15>kind of just mixing and matching, more of an even

0:34:53.080 --> 0:34:54.920
<v Speaker 15>distributed pitch mix.

0:34:55.400 --> 0:34:57.200
<v Speaker 9>But he's still as competitive as ever.

0:34:57.400 --> 0:35:00.720
<v Speaker 4>I'm always interested with what you're seeing from the dugout

0:35:00.760 --> 0:35:03.759
<v Speaker 4>because you've had so many really good players come through

0:35:03.760 --> 0:35:07.560
<v Speaker 4>this clubhouse that have moved on to other teams. Just

0:35:08.160 --> 0:35:11.200
<v Speaker 4>when you're watching a guy like Walker who does feed

0:35:11.239 --> 0:35:14.200
<v Speaker 4>off emotion, will what will you know early in the game.

0:35:15.800 --> 0:35:18.640
<v Speaker 15>You know, I think for me is he's not going

0:35:18.719 --> 0:35:21.480
<v Speaker 15>I know Walker in big games, and this is going

0:35:21.560 --> 0:35:23.960
<v Speaker 15>to be a big game for him. He's going to

0:35:24.040 --> 0:35:26.840
<v Speaker 15>try to minimize slug. He's not afraid to walk guys.

0:35:27.080 --> 0:35:29.440
<v Speaker 15>You know, when it gets hot, he's going to go

0:35:29.480 --> 0:35:34.280
<v Speaker 15>to his secondary pitches. You know, he's going to be emotional.

0:35:34.680 --> 0:35:37.440
<v Speaker 15>I think that this is something that he's always you know,

0:35:37.520 --> 0:35:40.200
<v Speaker 15>wanted to stay a Dodger and it just didn't work out.

0:35:40.320 --> 0:35:42.880
<v Speaker 15>So his first crack at US, I think he's going

0:35:42.960 --> 0:35:44.000
<v Speaker 15>to be pretty emotional.

0:35:44.160 --> 0:35:46.080
<v Speaker 4>What did you love the most about him when he

0:35:46.160 --> 0:35:48.640
<v Speaker 4>was pitching for you? We think back to twenty eighteen

0:35:48.760 --> 0:35:52.080
<v Speaker 4>Game one sixty three, obviously the last out in the

0:35:52.080 --> 0:35:55.480
<v Speaker 4>twenty four World Series. What did you love the most

0:35:55.520 --> 0:35:57.520
<v Speaker 4>about him being on your side?

0:35:58.080 --> 0:36:01.080
<v Speaker 15>I think that I think the main thing I loved

0:36:01.120 --> 0:36:04.840
<v Speaker 15>about him is that you knew that he was going

0:36:04.880 --> 0:36:08.239
<v Speaker 15>to compete. He was going to make pitches when he

0:36:08.280 --> 0:36:11.760
<v Speaker 15>needed to make pitches. He was prepared, he wasn't afraid.

0:36:12.760 --> 0:36:15.200
<v Speaker 15>I think that you know, you said Game one sixty three.

0:36:15.280 --> 0:36:18.000
<v Speaker 15>There's been a lot of postseason games, you know, the

0:36:18.080 --> 0:36:21.640
<v Speaker 15>clinching game coming back in New York in game six.

0:36:22.040 --> 0:36:23.839
<v Speaker 15>There's just a lot of things that this guy has

0:36:23.880 --> 0:36:26.960
<v Speaker 15>just got a huge heart and compete.

0:36:27.320 --> 0:36:30.520
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I'll ever forget the post at Yankee Stadium. I

0:36:30.520 --> 0:36:31.960
<v Speaker 4>think that's the lasting image.

0:36:32.080 --> 0:36:35.200
<v Speaker 15>I think he was just looking right at me, Dave saying,

0:36:35.239 --> 0:36:36.680
<v Speaker 15>I told you, Doc, I could do this.

0:36:36.840 --> 0:36:37.800
<v Speaker 9>Just give me the baseball.

0:36:38.680 --> 0:36:41.000
<v Speaker 4>Dave Roberts is our guest in front of first pitch

0:36:41.040 --> 0:36:44.480
<v Speaker 4>between the Dodgers and Padres. Dave, just take an inventory

0:36:44.719 --> 0:36:46.920
<v Speaker 4>of the first half of the season. You have the

0:36:46.920 --> 0:36:52.080
<v Speaker 4>best record in baseball and your team hasn't been whole yet.

0:36:52.200 --> 0:36:53.480
<v Speaker 4>How have you been able.

0:36:53.239 --> 0:36:53.680
<v Speaker 2>To do it?

0:36:55.160 --> 0:36:57.520
<v Speaker 15>Yeah, I mean I think that we haven't been whole.

0:36:57.880 --> 0:36:59.920
<v Speaker 15>It doesn't feel like we have the best record in

0:37:00.440 --> 0:37:01.960
<v Speaker 15>and I think that's a good thing. You know, we're

0:37:02.000 --> 0:37:04.760
<v Speaker 15>always striving to get better and on the margins get better.

0:37:06.040 --> 0:37:09.800
<v Speaker 15>Guys have stepped up, certainly in the bullpen. The bottom

0:37:09.880 --> 0:37:12.680
<v Speaker 15>half of the rotation has been fantastic.

0:37:13.640 --> 0:37:13.840
<v Speaker 9>You know.

0:37:13.880 --> 0:37:16.400
<v Speaker 15>The defense has been very consistent, even with what Muki

0:37:16.480 --> 0:37:22.040
<v Speaker 15>did in Minnesota. On the defensive side, was huge. How

0:37:22.040 --> 0:37:24.239
<v Speaker 15>have we done it? I think for us it's just

0:37:24.719 --> 0:37:27.839
<v Speaker 15>really not worrying about the guys that aren't with us

0:37:27.840 --> 0:37:29.719
<v Speaker 15>and just focusing on the guys that are with us

0:37:29.719 --> 0:37:32.920
<v Speaker 15>and trying to you know, just collect wins, keep stocking

0:37:33.000 --> 0:37:35.879
<v Speaker 15>wins and so and also just trying to get better

0:37:35.920 --> 0:37:36.359
<v Speaker 15>every day.

0:37:36.560 --> 0:37:39.280
<v Speaker 4>How much higher can the ceiling be for you guys

0:37:39.320 --> 0:37:39.839
<v Speaker 4>this year?

0:37:40.440 --> 0:37:40.680
<v Speaker 9>Yeah?

0:37:40.760 --> 0:37:44.279
<v Speaker 15>I mean we expect to win another championship. We have

0:37:44.320 --> 0:37:48.000
<v Speaker 15>a long way to go, even from June twenty sixth

0:37:48.120 --> 0:37:51.440
<v Speaker 15>to you know, to the postseason. But I think for us,

0:37:51.880 --> 0:37:55.160
<v Speaker 15>you know, getting guys back, you know, getting Blake back,

0:37:55.320 --> 0:37:59.959
<v Speaker 15>getting Eddie ds back, getting Will Smith back, getting Taoskar back,

0:38:01.040 --> 0:38:03.879
<v Speaker 15>guys like that Evan Phillips are going to make us,

0:38:03.920 --> 0:38:07.320
<v Speaker 15>you know, raise that ceiling for us. But for me, honestly,

0:38:07.400 --> 0:38:10.640
<v Speaker 15>seeing the younger guys play another guy's good opportunities, that's

0:38:10.680 --> 0:38:12.399
<v Speaker 15>been a big takeaway up to this point.

0:38:12.760 --> 0:38:12.960
<v Speaker 9>Yeah.

0:38:13.040 --> 0:38:16.799
<v Speaker 4>So you mentioned Tommy Edmunds back ta Oscar Hernandez. Is

0:38:16.840 --> 0:38:19.200
<v Speaker 4>he still coming back when you get to Sacramento.

0:38:19.400 --> 0:38:22.160
<v Speaker 15>Yeah, that's the plan is he's going to play again

0:38:22.360 --> 0:38:24.759
<v Speaker 15>the next two nights and then Sunday. I think he'll

0:38:24.760 --> 0:38:28.560
<v Speaker 15>be down and he'll meet us in Sacramento on Monday.

0:38:28.760 --> 0:38:31.080
<v Speaker 4>I remember a couple of weeks ago you had mentioned

0:38:31.480 --> 0:38:34.080
<v Speaker 4>around the fourth of July for Evan Phillips. Is that

0:38:34.200 --> 0:38:35.720
<v Speaker 4>still trending in the right direction?

0:38:36.040 --> 0:38:36.799
<v Speaker 9>I think so. Yeah.

0:38:36.920 --> 0:38:38.760
<v Speaker 15>Right now, I think he's going to take a couple

0:38:38.719 --> 0:38:43.360
<v Speaker 15>of days off from pitching back to back, and so

0:38:43.680 --> 0:38:47.040
<v Speaker 15>I think that that July fourth kind of timeline still

0:38:47.200 --> 0:38:49.600
<v Speaker 15>looks to be you know where we're at.

0:38:49.920 --> 0:38:51.760
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, when you look at your team now, you're starting

0:38:51.800 --> 0:38:54.440
<v Speaker 4>to get your bullpen looking like you wanted it to

0:38:54.719 --> 0:38:58.600
<v Speaker 4>until Diaz comes back. With Brock Stewart back, it feels

0:38:58.640 --> 0:39:01.720
<v Speaker 4>like some of these younger guys, Kyle Hurt have really

0:39:02.239 --> 0:39:03.520
<v Speaker 4>seized their opportunity.

0:39:03.760 --> 0:39:06.640
<v Speaker 15>No, Kyle Hurt is a guy that you know, we

0:39:06.760 --> 0:39:09.880
<v Speaker 15>traded for him a couple of years ago and just

0:39:09.920 --> 0:39:12.480
<v Speaker 15>always liked his stuff, but just couldn't stay on the field.

0:39:12.760 --> 0:39:16.279
<v Speaker 15>But now the body is strong, he's healthy, he's got

0:39:16.280 --> 0:39:18.759
<v Speaker 15>a lot of real confidence, and we've I've referenced that

0:39:18.880 --> 0:39:24.160
<v Speaker 15>with Robleski with that real confidence. Now Henriquez, you know,

0:39:24.280 --> 0:39:26.359
<v Speaker 15>Guarda is another guy that I think that he's come

0:39:26.400 --> 0:39:29.800
<v Speaker 15>of age. And so with Kyle Hurt and Guarda Henriquez.

0:39:29.840 --> 0:39:32.840
<v Speaker 15>Doing what they're doing allows me to you know, put

0:39:32.960 --> 0:39:36.959
<v Speaker 15>Vessia and Tanner Scott in their rightful spots and having

0:39:37.000 --> 0:39:39.759
<v Speaker 15>trying and down, so we still really haven't lost much.

0:39:39.880 --> 0:39:42.400
<v Speaker 4>You know, I love when you talk about your trust tree.

0:39:42.640 --> 0:39:43.279
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, you know what.

0:39:43.560 --> 0:39:45.360
<v Speaker 15>But the great thing is that it's not a plan,

0:39:45.600 --> 0:39:47.400
<v Speaker 15>it's a trust tree. And that's a good thing for

0:39:47.440 --> 0:39:50.240
<v Speaker 15>a manager when you've got a lot of different good branches.

0:39:50.480 --> 0:39:53.080
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, Mookie Betts, you mentioned him and his defense, the

0:39:53.120 --> 0:39:55.840
<v Speaker 4>trust tree has always been there with him. Do you

0:39:55.920 --> 0:39:58.520
<v Speaker 4>feel like he's kind of turned the corner on his season?

0:39:58.800 --> 0:40:00.719
<v Speaker 15>I do, I do, and and I think the thing

0:40:00.800 --> 0:40:03.160
<v Speaker 15>is for me is that the defense has been consistent,

0:40:04.040 --> 0:40:07.000
<v Speaker 15>you know, from the outset. But I think the thing

0:40:07.080 --> 0:40:09.759
<v Speaker 15>is that you know, we all have to wrap our

0:40:09.800 --> 0:40:13.080
<v Speaker 15>heads around, is that he's not Mookie from from Boston.

0:40:13.120 --> 0:40:15.359
<v Speaker 9>He's not playing right field, and so you.

0:40:15.320 --> 0:40:17.680
<v Speaker 15>Know, people, I think, and even Mookie I'm sure has

0:40:17.719 --> 0:40:22.160
<v Speaker 15>that expectation have a nine hundred ops, but you know,

0:40:22.480 --> 0:40:25.800
<v Speaker 15>you're playing shortstop. And for me, it's you know, dominate

0:40:25.840 --> 0:40:28.760
<v Speaker 15>the defense, which he has, help us win baseball games,

0:40:28.800 --> 0:40:31.799
<v Speaker 15>which he has, And for me, I just don't look

0:40:31.840 --> 0:40:34.319
<v Speaker 15>at the numbers. I really don't. I just want him.

0:40:34.760 --> 0:40:37.960
<v Speaker 15>I still believe he's a productive player, but it's not

0:40:38.160 --> 0:40:41.799
<v Speaker 15>something as shooting for a certain standard of an ops

0:40:41.840 --> 0:40:44.920
<v Speaker 15>to kind of validate who he is as a ballplayer

0:40:45.160 --> 0:40:45.640
<v Speaker 15>right now.

0:40:45.800 --> 0:40:48.040
<v Speaker 4>Does he understand that? Do you feel like he has

0:40:48.080 --> 0:40:49.360
<v Speaker 4>that outlook for himself?

0:40:49.560 --> 0:40:52.239
<v Speaker 15>I think so, you know, And we've had numerous conversations

0:40:52.280 --> 0:40:56.040
<v Speaker 15>about that, about expectations and still you know, telling him,

0:40:56.400 --> 0:40:58.800
<v Speaker 15>you know, how much I believe he is a great player,

0:40:58.920 --> 0:41:03.400
<v Speaker 15>but understanding you know, expectations, I think manager expectations is

0:41:03.440 --> 0:41:04.120
<v Speaker 15>something really.

0:41:03.920 --> 0:41:04.879
<v Speaker 9>Important for all of us.

0:41:06.120 --> 0:41:09.520
<v Speaker 15>But you know, for people to expect him to, you know,

0:41:09.680 --> 0:41:13.719
<v Speaker 15>be superman, that's sometimes unrealistic, but it is an ultimate compliment.

0:41:13.800 --> 0:41:15.680
<v Speaker 15>But again, at the end of the day, to put

0:41:15.680 --> 0:41:17.960
<v Speaker 15>a ball on this day, we've got the best record

0:41:18.000 --> 0:41:18.680
<v Speaker 15>in baseball.

0:41:19.280 --> 0:41:20.120
<v Speaker 9>We're not whole.

0:41:20.440 --> 0:41:22.399
<v Speaker 15>There's still a lot of good things that we're doing,

0:41:22.440 --> 0:41:24.279
<v Speaker 15>and we got a fun series this week and ahead

0:41:24.280 --> 0:41:24.759
<v Speaker 15>of us, no.

0:41:24.760 --> 0:41:26.920
<v Speaker 4>Doubt, before we back out of here, Kyle Tucker is

0:41:26.920 --> 0:41:29.799
<v Speaker 4>back in the starting lineup. It seems like that back

0:41:29.840 --> 0:41:30.879
<v Speaker 4>issues behind him.

0:41:31.000 --> 0:41:33.319
<v Speaker 15>Yeah, I think so, you know, getting him a few

0:41:33.360 --> 0:41:37.399
<v Speaker 15>days to kind of reset, he took swings the other

0:41:37.440 --> 0:41:40.959
<v Speaker 15>day in Minnesota. He feels good and it'll be good

0:41:40.960 --> 0:41:42.720
<v Speaker 15>to get him back in right field tonight.

0:41:43.000 --> 0:41:44.920
<v Speaker 4>Thanks a lot for the time, Dave. Always great to

0:42:55.320 --> 0:43:00.640
<v Speaker 1>This is Morongo Casino Dodgers Hunting Game going home for

0:43:00.960 --> 0:43:04.040
<v Speaker 1>La Dodgers Baseball hits.

0:43:03.840 --> 0:43:06.400
<v Speaker 5>The Dodgers and Padres on this Friday night. Leading up

0:43:06.440 --> 0:43:09.239
<v Speaker 5>to first pitch from Petco Park, first pitch set of

0:43:09.280 --> 0:43:09.960
<v Speaker 5>six to forty five.

0:43:10.520 --> 0:43:14.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and now before the Dodgers hit the dining we

0:43:14.080 --> 0:43:16.040
<v Speaker 1>look at the pitching matchup.

0:43:15.680 --> 0:43:18.040
<v Speaker 6>Brought to you by your Toyota dealers. We make it easy.

0:43:18.120 --> 0:43:20.040
<v Speaker 5>Walker Bueller on the Mountain four and three at the

0:43:20.040 --> 0:43:21.319
<v Speaker 5>three ninety six Rora.

0:43:21.719 --> 0:43:23.560
<v Speaker 6>The thirty one year old right hander.

0:43:23.280 --> 0:43:26.160
<v Speaker 5>Spent almost seven seasons in a Dodger uniform. He was

0:43:26.239 --> 0:43:28.440
<v Speaker 5>hurt a couple of years last year, though he was

0:43:28.480 --> 0:43:30.960
<v Speaker 5>with the Red Sox with the Phillies. Signed a minor

0:43:31.040 --> 0:43:33.120
<v Speaker 5>league deal with the Padres during spring train this year,

0:43:33.200 --> 0:43:36.640
<v Speaker 5>made the rotation, making his sixteenth start this year last

0:43:36.640 --> 0:43:38.440
<v Speaker 5>time out five and a third innings, a one run,

0:43:38.480 --> 0:43:40.800
<v Speaker 5>five hit, seven strikeouts and a no decision. In fact,

0:43:41.000 --> 0:43:43.280
<v Speaker 5>his last four starts here in the month of June,

0:43:43.360 --> 0:43:45.719
<v Speaker 5>he's one to zero with a one to seventeen rara,

0:43:45.880 --> 0:43:49.480
<v Speaker 5>twenty two strikeouts, only five walks, only one home run

0:43:49.640 --> 0:43:51.920
<v Speaker 5>given up. This isn't the first time the Dodgers have

0:43:51.960 --> 0:43:53.960
<v Speaker 5>seen Walker Buelly. They saw him last year in Boston,

0:43:54.080 --> 0:43:56.520
<v Speaker 5>as David Vasse alluded to earlier. Four to two third innings,

0:43:56.560 --> 0:43:59.239
<v Speaker 5>three runs, four hits, five strikeouts in a loss at

0:43:59.239 --> 0:44:02.400
<v Speaker 5>Fenway Park. Roki Sasaki on the mound for the Dodgers,

0:44:02.440 --> 0:44:04.560
<v Speaker 5>twenty four year old right hitter, making his fourteen start

0:44:04.600 --> 0:44:07.240
<v Speaker 5>this year last time out five and two third inning's,

0:44:07.280 --> 0:44:10.360
<v Speaker 5>three runs, four hits, two home runs, six strikeouts. That

0:44:10.440 --> 0:44:12.840
<v Speaker 5>was a no decision against the Baltimore Orioles. Believe it

0:44:12.920 --> 0:44:16.080
<v Speaker 5>or not, this is the first time Rokie Susaki has

0:44:16.200 --> 0:44:21.400
<v Speaker 5>faced Manny Machado and the Padres. Dodgers Padres, we're.

0:44:21.280 --> 0:44:24.399
<v Speaker 6>Fifteen minutes away from first pitch. Keys to the game.

0:44:24.480 --> 0:44:26.520
<v Speaker 6>Our next I'm Tim Kass the back to back World

0:44:26.600 --> 0:44:28.960
<v Speaker 6>Series Champion Dodgers Audio Network.

0:44:30.280 --> 0:44:36.399
<v Speaker 1>This is Marongo Casino Dodgers on dep on your home

0:44:36.480 --> 0:44:40.200
<v Speaker 1>for the blue all season long hits.

0:44:39.960 --> 0:44:44.120
<v Speaker 5>The Dodgers and the Padres, Rookie Susaki, Walker Bueler, the

0:44:44.160 --> 0:44:48.160
<v Speaker 5>pitching matchup. We're alive from Smoke Queen Barbecue and Garden Grove.

0:44:48.200 --> 0:44:49.799
<v Speaker 5>We got a watch party coming up in just a

0:44:49.800 --> 0:44:52.320
<v Speaker 5>couple of minutes. As we lead you up to first pitch.

0:44:52.400 --> 0:44:55.640
<v Speaker 5>When the start of the game, the supporto start great moment,

0:44:55.680 --> 0:44:58.359
<v Speaker 5>Start with Sapporo Beer, whatever your taste preference. Sapporo has

0:44:58.400 --> 0:45:01.000
<v Speaker 5>you covered with a variety of Chris Been refreshing loggers,

0:45:01.000 --> 0:45:05.120
<v Speaker 5>including light and non alcoholic beers. Saporo good with sushi,

0:45:05.600 --> 0:45:08.839
<v Speaker 5>Great with baseball. One final time, we head back out

0:45:08.880 --> 0:45:10.720
<v Speaker 5>to the boots Stephen Nelson and Rick Monday.

0:45:10.760 --> 0:45:13.640
<v Speaker 7>Guys, all right, TC counting down the first pitch at

0:45:13.640 --> 0:45:17.800
<v Speaker 7>pet Cole Park, a gorgeous Friday night here in San Diego.

0:45:17.880 --> 0:45:20.040
<v Speaker 7>To open up this series in Mo it is Rookie

0:45:20.080 --> 0:45:23.960
<v Speaker 7>Sasaki for the Dodgers against Walker Buehler, the old friend

0:45:24.480 --> 0:45:27.480
<v Speaker 7>now pitching for the Padres. The two time World Series

0:45:27.560 --> 0:45:31.560
<v Speaker 7>champ recorded the final out of the twenty twenty four

0:45:32.120 --> 0:45:34.640
<v Speaker 7>World Series victory in the Bronx in New York and

0:45:34.719 --> 0:45:38.640
<v Speaker 7>now in San Diego City. Connect uniforms starting against La

0:45:38.719 --> 0:45:40.800
<v Speaker 7>give me a key or a player to watch tonight.

0:45:40.880 --> 0:45:43.439
<v Speaker 8>I think with Sasaki, let's start right off the top.

0:45:43.520 --> 0:45:45.239
<v Speaker 8>When he's ahead in the count, it's only a one

0:45:45.320 --> 0:45:48.520
<v Speaker 8>seventy batting average against. Why is that important? Well, when

0:45:48.520 --> 0:45:51.040
<v Speaker 8>he's behind in the count this year, it's a three

0:45:51.200 --> 0:45:54.200
<v Speaker 8>eighty nine batting average and he's also been hit over

0:45:54.360 --> 0:45:58.239
<v Speaker 8>three twenty five with runners in scoring position. So for Susaki,

0:45:58.520 --> 0:46:00.880
<v Speaker 8>go ahead and challenge hitters. I've seen him do. I

0:46:00.880 --> 0:46:03.319
<v Speaker 8>think two of the last three outings he's had he

0:46:03.360 --> 0:46:06.040
<v Speaker 8>has challenged hitters instead of pitching like he's trying to

0:46:06.280 --> 0:46:08.440
<v Speaker 8>avoid the hit or even hitting the base.

0:46:08.680 --> 0:46:11.000
<v Speaker 7>Some I'll tell you, I think we're both looking out

0:46:11.040 --> 0:46:13.960
<v Speaker 7>for tonight. Is him later in the outings because he

0:46:14.000 --> 0:46:16.879
<v Speaker 7>has been so good to start outings. I know we've

0:46:16.920 --> 0:46:20.120
<v Speaker 7>had so many conversations about guys like Yoshinobyamamoto or she

0:46:20.440 --> 0:46:23.200
<v Speaker 7>struggling in the first inning. Well for Sasaki innings one

0:46:23.239 --> 0:46:25.680
<v Speaker 7>through four, he is great. But you saw it last

0:46:25.680 --> 0:46:29.520
<v Speaker 7>time out against Baltimore. After five scoreless five shoutout innings.

0:46:29.800 --> 0:46:32.640
<v Speaker 7>You could see the breathing was heavier, the sweat was

0:46:32.719 --> 0:46:36.839
<v Speaker 7>more evident and obvious, and he seemed to be laboring more.

0:46:36.840 --> 0:46:38.880
<v Speaker 7>It was like, Okay, he's running out of gas, and

0:46:38.920 --> 0:46:41.440
<v Speaker 7>it was clear that the end of his last two outings,

0:46:41.440 --> 0:46:42.280
<v Speaker 7>teams have taken.

0:46:42.120 --> 0:46:42.520
<v Speaker 1>It to him.

0:46:42.600 --> 0:46:46.319
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, in spite of the fact that his velocity has

0:46:46.400 --> 0:46:49.440
<v Speaker 8>remained relatively high. It hasn't been like he's run out

0:46:49.440 --> 0:46:50.960
<v Speaker 8>of gas and all of a sudden i drop off

0:46:51.120 --> 0:46:53.960
<v Speaker 8>in velocity that has been there. Just the effectiveness now

0:46:53.960 --> 0:46:54.640
<v Speaker 8>has been proved.

0:46:54.680 --> 0:46:57.600
<v Speaker 7>All right, Tim, It'll be Sasaki and Bueller, the Dodgers

0:46:57.880 --> 0:47:01.480
<v Speaker 7>against the Padres. The Dodgers have done well against San

0:47:01.520 --> 0:47:03.879
<v Speaker 7>Diego the last couple of years, really since that twenty

0:47:03.920 --> 0:47:05.800
<v Speaker 7>twenty four Division Series, and they want to try and

0:47:05.880 --> 0:47:08.200
<v Speaker 7>keep it that way and continue this hot stretch where

0:47:08.239 --> 0:47:11.000
<v Speaker 7>they've won twenty eight of thirty nine games since the

0:47:11.040 --> 0:47:11.839
<v Speaker 7>thirteenth of May.

0:47:12.400 --> 0:47:14.600
<v Speaker 6>Send it back to you, all right, thanks a lot, Nelly.

0:47:14.640 --> 0:47:15.399
<v Speaker 6>First pitch is next.

0:47:15.480 --> 0:47:17.600
<v Speaker 5>David Vassy's got you cover with all the post game.

0:47:17.760 --> 0:47:20.080
<v Speaker 5>We are live at the Smoke Queen Barbecue and Garden Grove.

0:47:20.239 --> 0:47:22.480
<v Speaker 5>We got a watch party. Come on out, hang out

0:47:22.520 --> 0:47:26.480
