Tonight, they let's do it again in a 0:00:53.840 --> 0:00:58.360 great pitching matchup. Yoshinobu Yamamoto on the mound, first pitcher, 0:00:58.560 --> 0:01:01.280 Uniclo Field. The Dodger Stadium is coming up at seven 0:01:01.280 --> 0:01:02.840 to ten. Between then and now, we got a lot 0:01:02.880 --> 0:01:05.440 to get to here on Maronggo Casino Dodgers on Deck. 0:01:05.440 --> 0:01:08.200 You're gonna hear from the manager himself, Dave Roberts, get 0:01:08.200 --> 0:01:10.320 his thoughts on what's happening with his team, an update 0:01:10.360 --> 0:01:13.120 on the injuries as well. We'll preview this pitching matchup. 0:01:13.200 --> 0:01:16.040 David vatsegoes one on one with Justin Robleski. 0:01:16.160 --> 0:01:17.199 More on him in a minute. 0:01:17.240 --> 0:01:19.640 We got your Dodgers' magical moment and in just a 0:01:19.640 --> 0:01:21.960 few minutes we will catch up with Kirston Watson and 0:01:22.360 --> 0:01:25.039 head out to Steven Nelson and Rick Monday in the 0:01:25.040 --> 0:01:30.240 Galloping Ford Broadcast booth. Well, yesterday, Justin Robleski was eat electric. 0:01:30.360 --> 0:01:33.480 He fired a career high eight scoreless innings, giving up 0:01:33.520 --> 0:01:36.200 only two hits while striking out two in his second 0:01:36.240 --> 0:01:39.000 win of this season. It was the first time this 0:01:39.080 --> 0:01:41.600 year that a Dodger pitcher reached more than six innings 0:01:41.600 --> 0:01:43.880 in a start. He made only six pitches in the 0:01:43.920 --> 0:01:47.080 sixth inning. He was so efficient, with only just two 0:01:47.120 --> 0:01:50.720 strikeouts in the game. As far as the Dodgers' offense 0:01:50.800 --> 0:01:52.960 was concerned, well, they gave him the run support that 0:01:53.000 --> 0:01:55.360 he needed and it started in the first runners on 0:01:55.560 --> 0:01:56.320 for Will Smith. 0:01:56.760 --> 0:02:01.760 Dodger two catchers combined are hitting three fifty seven with 0:02:01.880 --> 0:02:05.240 a four to nineteen on base percentage. There's a hard 0:02:05.240 --> 0:02:07.960 ground ball basic in the left center field. 0:02:08.120 --> 0:02:09.840 Otani is around third. 0:02:09.960 --> 0:02:13.320 He'll come in to score an RBI single for Will 0:02:13.320 --> 0:02:16.720 Smith and the Dodgers probably have a one to nothing league. 0:02:17.560 --> 0:02:22.000 Oh, they got can position the hard way hit batter. 0:02:23.200 --> 0:02:26.799 Then good eye Tucker drew the walk and for Will Smith, yep, 0:02:27.040 --> 0:02:28.400 he delivers yet again. 0:02:29.120 --> 0:02:32.520 Will Smith with the RBIs single scoring show Hey Otani, 0:02:32.880 --> 0:02:35.640 Dodgers weren't done. Then in the third, two on for 0:02:35.760 --> 0:02:37.400 Andy pies first and. 0:02:37.520 --> 0:02:40.520 Third, two out, one nothing Dodgers. Bottom half of the third, 0:02:40.560 --> 0:02:41.519 Peterson delivers. 0:02:42.000 --> 0:02:43.760 They're gonna fly ball left. 0:02:43.520 --> 0:02:46.240 Down the line and it is done. 0:02:48.040 --> 0:02:54.440 Three run home run for Andy pahees Smith home run 0:02:54.480 --> 0:02:58.040 of the year. Three run flash. He's got twenty RBI's 0:02:58.440 --> 0:02:59.800 and the Dodgers have a board. 0:02:59.840 --> 0:03:02.160 And that's the top tier play of the game, brought 0:03:02.160 --> 0:03:04.560 to you by ourco quality, top tier gas. For last, 0:03:04.600 --> 0:03:06.640 Andy pat has his fifth home run of the season. 0:03:06.919 --> 0:03:10.120 That three run shot gave the Dodgers a four nothing 0:03:10.200 --> 0:03:12.680 lead and they never looked back. Miguel Rojas, by the way, 0:03:12.760 --> 0:03:15.600 finished the night three for four, his fifty first career 0:03:15.680 --> 0:03:18.000 game with three plus since the last time to do 0:03:18.040 --> 0:03:20.520 it was April of last season. With the win, the 0:03:20.560 --> 0:03:23.400 Dodgers improve on the season, out twelve and four overall, 0:03:23.600 --> 0:03:25.520 and tonight they look to do it again against the 0:03:25.520 --> 0:03:28.440 New York Mets. Yoshinobu Yamamoto on the mount first pitch 0:03:28.480 --> 0:03:30.280 at seven to ten and with more than set out 0:03:30.320 --> 0:03:33.120 to the galpin Ford broadcast booth as we welcome in Steamer, 0:03:33.240 --> 0:03:34.840 Nephis Nelson and Rick Monday. 0:03:34.880 --> 0:03:35.680 Guys. 0:03:36.480 --> 0:03:39.720 All right, Tim Kats, it's a beautiful Tuesday afternoon in 0:03:39.720 --> 0:03:41.960 the evening shaping up here at the stadium, and I 0:03:41.960 --> 0:03:44.280 think the only thing Dodger fans would like to see 0:03:44.360 --> 0:03:46.240 on top of this weather would be another w and 0:03:46.320 --> 0:03:49.280 another series win. Mod But they have been excellent, the 0:03:49.320 --> 0:03:52.200 Dodgers have in the start of this twenty twenty six season, 0:03:52.680 --> 0:03:56.360 making a statement early in series, taking games one and or. 0:03:56.320 --> 0:03:58.720 Two, yeah, and scoring early. 0:03:59.240 --> 0:04:01.520 And that's the case last night, although they let a 0:04:01.520 --> 0:04:04.040 golden opportunity maybe make it more than just one run 0:04:04.040 --> 0:04:07.800 in the first inning last night, but the Mets pitching 0:04:07.840 --> 0:04:10.000 came through and did that. And as good as the 0:04:10.000 --> 0:04:12.080 Dodgers are playing, the New York Mets are looking to 0:04:12.120 --> 0:04:14.840 snap a six game losing streak, and they've got a 0:04:14.840 --> 0:04:17.680 guy who's a tough customer and Nolan McLain who's going 0:04:17.720 --> 0:04:20.520 for them. Yeah, Chinobo Yabamota going for the Dodgers. But 0:04:20.560 --> 0:04:24.240 I thought last night was kind of indicative from three 0:04:24.240 --> 0:04:27.800 different angles, from an offensive standpoint, from a defensive standpoint, 0:04:27.839 --> 0:04:30.760 and from a pitching standpoint. The Dodgers, that's the reason 0:04:30.800 --> 0:04:32.919 that they wanted by a score a Ford to nothing 0:04:33.040 --> 0:04:36.120 and New York having difficulty swinging the bats only three 0:04:36.200 --> 0:04:37.000 hits last night. 0:04:37.240 --> 0:04:40.200 Yeah, Look, the Dodgers are catching the Mets at a 0:04:40.240 --> 0:04:43.720 great time or the worst time you feel, probably if 0:04:43.720 --> 0:04:46.120 you're a fan of New York is It's now six 0:04:46.200 --> 0:04:49.200 consecutive losses for the Mets. They've been outscored thirty four 0:04:49.240 --> 0:04:51.840 to nine in this losing streak. They haven't scored since 0:04:51.880 --> 0:04:55.680 the seventh inning last Saturday, a stretch of twenty offensive 0:04:55.720 --> 0:04:58.520 innings without a run, and not even does that they're 0:04:58.560 --> 0:05:00.760 not I mean hitting the ball, he said a bucko 0:05:00.960 --> 0:05:02.800 nine in the six game skid. They didn't have an 0:05:02.800 --> 0:05:05.040 extra base hit last night. So the Dodgers want to 0:05:05.080 --> 0:05:06.840 continue that trend, and they got the right guy on 0:05:06.880 --> 0:05:09.440 the bump for it. In Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who will be 0:05:09.560 --> 0:05:12.560 opposite and Olan McLain who he referenced earlier. But Justin 0:05:12.640 --> 0:05:15.479 Robleski tip of the cap to him MO for setting 0:05:15.520 --> 0:05:19.679 a tone in this series. Eight shutout innings. The first 0:05:19.720 --> 0:05:22.320 Dodger to record it out in the seventh this year, 0:05:22.480 --> 0:05:22.719 and he. 0:05:22.760 --> 0:05:26.440 Went eight and he did a good job too, fourteen 0:05:26.600 --> 0:05:29.080 outs as a result of ground balls that were thrown, 0:05:29.600 --> 0:05:32.800 and a little surprising there were only two strikeouts. I mean, 0:05:32.839 --> 0:05:35.800 here's a guy that was in total control, only two strikeouts. 0:05:35.839 --> 0:05:38.520 And the other part that I found there were only 0:05:38.560 --> 0:05:42.600 four swings and misses at pitches that Robleski threw last night. 0:05:42.640 --> 0:05:44.120 So he say, hey, wait a minute, how can it 0:05:44.160 --> 0:05:47.000 be that dominant only four swings and misses. It's because 0:05:47.040 --> 0:05:50.520 he had precise location with pitches that he made and 0:05:50.600 --> 0:05:51.960 induced a lot of ground ball outs. 0:05:52.000 --> 0:05:53.640 Yeah, I think it's something that you made mention of 0:05:53.760 --> 0:05:56.159 multiple times on the broadcast, and it's an excellent point. 0:05:56.200 --> 0:05:57.600 And when you were throwing. 0:05:57.240 --> 0:05:59.720 The ball with conviction, Justin Obleski is actually one of 0:05:59.720 --> 0:06:01.760 the more confident guys the Daughters have on their roster. 0:06:02.320 --> 0:06:04.480 When you throw the ball with conviction and that having 0:06:04.480 --> 0:06:07.200 that the quote unquote trust in your stuff, the old cliche, 0:06:07.880 --> 0:06:10.640 and trust in your defense behind you that they're going 0:06:10.720 --> 0:06:13.200 to back you up, and they did several times last night, 0:06:13.440 --> 0:06:15.680 Like that is a that's a winning recipe. I know 0:06:15.720 --> 0:06:18.360 it's not the recipe in the current iteration of Major 0:06:18.400 --> 0:06:20.640 League Baseball, but you saw that it could be a 0:06:20.640 --> 0:06:21.520 good recipe. 0:06:21.279 --> 0:06:24.640 Including mcguil Rojas, and it made just a sensational play 0:06:25.120 --> 0:06:27.920 early in the ballgame, in fact, leading off the second inning, 0:06:28.560 --> 0:06:31.719 just a circus catch if you will, to stop any momentum. 0:06:31.960 --> 0:06:34.560 And the Dodgers have a lot of things going for 0:06:34.640 --> 0:06:37.120 them as so on Campbell's start at shortstop tonight. That's 0:06:37.160 --> 0:06:40.400 the only difference really in this lineup other than the positioning. 0:06:40.839 --> 0:06:43.880 And the story continues to go also Steven with when 0:06:43.960 --> 0:06:46.039 Andy Potter has is doing. I mean, here's a guy's 0:06:46.120 --> 0:06:50.120 hitting coming on four seventeen. You start to look at 0:06:50.160 --> 0:06:52.839 the number of hits. He's right at top on that one. 0:06:53.000 --> 0:06:55.600 The number of RBIs is twenty. He's number one in 0:06:55.600 --> 0:06:58.920 that category. And he has flat worn out bullpens. He's 0:06:59.000 --> 0:07:01.960 hitting over four when he's had a chance to get 0:07:02.000 --> 0:07:03.719 to a bullpen of the opposing team. 0:07:04.080 --> 0:07:06.760 Well, the Dodgers is gonna try and take another series. 0:07:06.839 --> 0:07:08.600 That's the name of the game. Over the course of 0:07:08.640 --> 0:07:10.600 one hundred and sixty two you stack wins, and you 0:07:10.640 --> 0:07:13.320 stack series wins in a win tonight would do just 0:07:13.400 --> 0:07:15.440 that against the New York Mets. We'll be back a 0:07:15.480 --> 0:07:17.160 little bit later, Tim with a key from moment. 0:07:17.200 --> 0:07:18.760 All right, thank you Nelly as for counting down to 0:07:18.800 --> 0:07:19.320 first pitch. 0:07:19.400 --> 0:07:22.680 Dodger fans, get that game day meal on and Shaky's 0:07:22.680 --> 0:07:27.360 Pizza Parlor.

He went o for four with the strikeout. However, 0:08:22.640 --> 0:08:25.840 Shoei Otani was hitting the back on his right shoulder 0:08:26.200 --> 0:08:30.239 during his first at bat last night, extending his career 0:08:30.360 --> 0:08:33.480 best on Bay streak to forty seven games, which is 0:08:33.559 --> 0:08:36.480 now tied with Ron Say for the fourth longest streak 0:08:36.720 --> 0:08:39.360 in franchise history.

He has the best batting 0:09:11.640 --> 0:09:14.280 average in Major League Baseball, he has, he's number one 0:09:14.320 --> 0:09:18.160 in hits. He what is first in RBI as well, Like, 0:09:19.320 --> 0:09:21.200 I don't think there is when it comes to what 0:09:21.280 --> 0:09:22.760 he has been able to do. And you know what, 0:09:22.840 --> 0:09:26.080 now we're about what three weeks into the regular season, 0:09:26.120 --> 0:09:29.360 and we're starting to really see the consistency in what 0:09:29.480 --> 0:09:32.120 he's done. I think obviously, sometimes when you see players 0:09:32.120 --> 0:09:33.960 get off to a hot start, you're like, oh, wow, 0:09:34.000 --> 0:09:36.480 he's on fire right now, but it feels like at 0:09:36.520 --> 0:09:39.040 some time it's going to cool off. Now, yes it 0:09:39.080 --> 0:09:41.000 is base on, it's one hundred and sixty two games. 0:09:41.520 --> 0:09:43.640 He will in fact cool off just a bit. But 0:09:43.720 --> 0:09:46.200 it does seem like he has made the mechanical changes 0:09:46.400 --> 0:09:49.160 and he's really put in the work this offseason to 0:09:49.280 --> 0:09:51.760 make it so that his swing, his pitch selection, everything 0:09:51.840 --> 0:09:54.440 is in such a better position. And I think what 0:09:54.600 --> 0:09:58.320 Dave Roberts was saying this afternoon with Andy Piez, if 0:09:58.320 --> 0:10:00.600 we go back to that game three and Toronto on 0:10:00.640 --> 0:10:03.400 which the team lost, he had four strikeouts in that game. 0:10:03.559 --> 0:10:06.240 Then you turn around to game one in the Ranger series, 0:10:06.480 --> 0:10:08.560 he had a night in which he had three hits, 0:10:08.640 --> 0:10:10.560 two runs, and just the fact that you have a 0:10:10.559 --> 0:10:13.920 player who he didn't allow for that four strikeout game 0:10:13.920 --> 0:10:16.760 to become a snowball effect, and that is very telling 0:10:16.840 --> 0:10:19.000 us to where he is mentally, where he's at physically, 0:10:19.400 --> 0:10:21.360 and just a continuation of the praise of the work 0:10:21.360 --> 0:10:22.600 that he put in this offseason. 0:10:23.320 --> 0:10:26.280 Justin Robleski talking about a guy putting in work last 0:10:26.360 --> 0:10:28.439 night eight shutout any of my. 0:10:28.559 --> 0:10:32.880 Goodness, literally, my goodness. He had a remarkable performance on 0:10:32.920 --> 0:10:35.480 the mound and for him, even just how he was 0:10:35.600 --> 0:10:38.679 navigating through this Met's lineup, he kind of he primarily 0:10:38.800 --> 0:10:42.360 was going fastball, yeah, fastball, slider, And even with that, 0:10:42.520 --> 0:10:44.199 you know, when you look at what he was able 0:10:44.240 --> 0:10:48.040 to achieve in October, the four shutout innings of work 0:10:48.080 --> 0:10:50.760 out of the bullpen and relief, and we just really 0:10:50.800 --> 0:10:53.600 saw his confidence continue to grow on that back end 0:10:53.640 --> 0:10:56.160 of the regular season as well as the postseason last year. 0:10:56.400 --> 0:10:58.640 And the mindset was very much, you know, just go 0:10:58.720 --> 0:11:02.320 out there, attack, attack, at even if you're a starter, attack, attack, attack. 0:11:02.400 --> 0:11:04.880 You don't want to allow yourself to ease into games, 0:11:05.200 --> 0:11:08.080 and we saw Justin do that from the beginning. He 0:11:08.160 --> 0:11:10.720 was efficient, The stuff was effective how he was playing. 0:11:11.240 --> 0:11:13.880 He of course continued to praise Will Smith in the 0:11:13.920 --> 0:11:16.439 game that Will called and was finding. You know, He's like, 0:11:16.480 --> 0:11:19.080 you know, honestly, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. 0:11:19.160 --> 0:11:21.120 The stuff was playing well. Yes, he did mixing a 0:11:21.160 --> 0:11:23.600 few curve balls here and there, but the fact that 0:11:23.679 --> 0:11:28.600 majority of his usage is one of was essentially two pitches, 0:11:28.600 --> 0:11:30.839 the fastball or the slider. It was just so telling 0:11:30.920 --> 0:11:33.880 us to where he was, how he was feeling on 0:11:33.960 --> 0:11:37.079 the mound. You know, he was asked if there was 0:11:37.120 --> 0:11:39.319 a conversation to go back out there for the ninth inning, 0:11:39.760 --> 0:11:43.400 and he said, you know, obviously the decision that Dave 0:11:43.440 --> 0:11:46.480 Roberts the organization makes, he was absolutely trusting. So there 0:11:46.679 --> 0:11:49.600 wasn't a conversation. But he did say that he feels that, 0:11:49.640 --> 0:11:52.040 you know, that's something that is a young pitcher like 0:11:52.120 --> 0:11:54.880 him you have to earn and he wants to earn that. 0:11:54.920 --> 0:11:56.520 And I think that was so telling us to who 0:11:56.559 --> 0:11:58.400 he is as a man, who is as an athlete, 0:11:58.559 --> 0:12:00.400 and how he does want to be in that position 0:12:00.440 --> 0:12:03.560 to continue to grow as a top pitcher in this 0:12:03.679 --> 0:12:06.080 league so that he has the opportunity to have a 0:12:06.080 --> 0:12:09.199 complete game, because he does still value those types of things. 0:12:08.840 --> 0:12:09.240 No doubt. 0:12:09.280 --> 0:12:11.760 From last year's postseason out of the bullpen to now 0:12:11.760 --> 0:12:16.199 it's starter, Justin Robleski has certainly earned everything. Cur's that 0:12:16.280 --> 0:12:17.920 we appreciate. We'll check out with you after the game 0:12:17.960 --> 0:12:20.240 is still to come.

Ben Casparraus on the IL with the 0:13:24.960 --> 0:13:28.240 right shoulder inflammation. Tommy Edmond Blake snell A Bruce Dark 0:13:28.240 --> 0:13:31.440 graderl Kiky Hernandez landing that, Gavin Stone, Evan Phillips All 0:13:31.440 --> 0:13:33.640 on the IL. Rock Stewart on the IL. He's actually 0:13:33.640 --> 0:13:38.080 making a minor league rehab appearance today in a ball 0:13:38.160 --> 0:13:40.520 out in Ontario with the tower buzzers, so his first 0:13:40.559 --> 0:13:43.520 time throwing to a hitter down in ab Also, he 0:13:43.640 --> 0:13:46.760 is training in the right direction. Let's head back out 0:13:46.760 --> 0:13:48.520 to the stadium and check out with the Dodger Skipper. 0:13:48.760 --> 0:13:51.839 Anything else, Dave do you think? Questions for Dave Dave. 0:13:51.960 --> 0:13:53.760 Can you just describe Dave. 0:13:53.840 --> 0:13:57.400 Can you talk about the pressure in the dugouts with. 0:13:57.520 --> 0:14:01.920 Dave Roberts, the way he's going about it, there's consistency 0:14:01.960 --> 0:14:07.439 of work. His demeanor is consistent, which he's always kind 0:14:07.440 --> 0:14:12.720 of like that. I like the you know, the internal insight. 0:14:12.840 --> 0:14:15.280 I think that he's swinging at the right pitches. The 0:14:15.280 --> 0:14:19.760 plate discipline has gotten a lot better, the quality of 0:14:19.840 --> 0:14:25.520 contact better, ability to hit all fields is real, and 0:14:25.560 --> 0:14:27.720 so I think that, Yeah, like I said last night, 0:14:27.760 --> 0:14:29.600 he's not going to hit four hundred, but I do 0:14:29.640 --> 0:14:32.440 think that the production of what he's doing, I think 0:14:32.480 --> 0:14:34.480 there's some consistencies there. 0:14:34.400 --> 0:14:36.280 There's a perfect example of that when he had that 0:14:36.320 --> 0:14:38.920 four strikeout game in Toronto but was able to turn 0:14:38.960 --> 0:14:40.320 the page quickly in the next one. 0:14:40.600 --> 0:14:40.880 Yeah. 0:14:40.920 --> 0:14:44.400 Absolutely, you know, because I think certainly with young players, 0:14:45.200 --> 0:14:49.160 you sort sometimes a tend a spiral as a game 0:14:49.200 --> 0:14:51.720 speeds up. You know, one bad game turned into four 0:14:51.760 --> 0:14:54.360 bad games, and he was able to write the ship 0:14:54.400 --> 0:14:57.040 pretty quickly and just kind of stay to the fundamentals 0:14:57.040 --> 0:15:00.080 and basics and got a big hit that next day 0:15:00.080 --> 0:15:01.760 and just kind of went from there. 0:15:02.160 --> 0:15:04.760 All Right, there's a manager Dave Roberts. When we continue 0:15:04.800 --> 0:15:06.880 here on Moroco Casino Dodgers on a Deck, well check 0:15:06.920 --> 0:15:08.960 in with David Vesta, who again had a chance to 0:15:09.000 --> 0:15:10.120 catch up with Mookie Vetts. 0:15:10.320 --> 0:15:11.960 You're not gonna want to miss that. As we lead 0:15:12.000 --> 0:15:12.840 you up to first. 0:15:12.600 --> 0:15:16.880 Pitch Dodgers and Mets from Uniclo Field at Dodger Stadium, 0:15:16.880 --> 0:15:18.520 I'm Tim Kates is the back to back world champion 0:15:18.600 --> 0:15:21.680 Dodgers Audio Network. 0:15:23.640 --> 0:15:28.360 As we were saying, this is Marongo Casino Dodgers on 0:15:28.560 --> 0:15:35.000 tack On, the official home of La Dodgers Baseball. 0:15:33.640 --> 0:15:35.760 Lead you up to Dodgers in the New York Mets 0:15:35.800 --> 0:15:40.200 on this Tuesday night, Yamamoto, Nolan McClain.

I haven't started hitting yet, but we're doing. 0:16:38.440 --> 0:16:39.560 Like medball throws. 0:16:40.880 --> 0:16:44.720 So we want to get fully comfortable with like throwing 0:16:44.720 --> 0:16:48.640 the med ball and like not having really any hesitation 0:16:48.720 --> 0:16:51.360 with that before we start swinging, just because I don't 0:16:51.400 --> 0:16:54.000 want to start developing bad habits because I'm scared to swing, 0:16:54.720 --> 0:16:59.160 you know so. But I mean, with all that being said, 0:16:59.240 --> 0:17:01.520 I mean things are going great. I mean, it's just 0:17:01.560 --> 0:17:03.840 an oblique and it's gonna take It's gonna take time. 0:17:04.280 --> 0:17:06.880 Do you only do you feel it still in everyday 0:17:06.920 --> 0:17:08.480 life or just in certain movements. 0:17:08.560 --> 0:17:12.080 No, just when I start doing like sports stuff, I 0:17:12.080 --> 0:17:16.840 mean everyday life, no, is way better. And I mean 0:17:16.880 --> 0:17:19.600 now it's now, I'm pretty normal. It's just when I 0:17:19.600 --> 0:17:22.360 get here and I start having to do like sports specific. 0:17:21.920 --> 0:17:23.879 Stuff, is when I start feeling it. 0:17:23.880 --> 0:17:25.840 And it's not that it hurts. I mean, it's not 0:17:25.880 --> 0:17:26.320 that it hurts. 0:17:26.320 --> 0:17:27.919 It's just that you feel it. 0:17:27.960 --> 0:17:30.159 And the more you you don't really want to you 0:17:30.200 --> 0:17:33.040 don't want to feel it because the more you feel it, 0:17:33.040 --> 0:17:36.000 it's it's the means it's still healing, and any quick 0:17:36.400 --> 0:17:39.920 movements from there can just re reinjurre and then it's 0:17:39.960 --> 0:17:41.439 them We're in a much worse spot. 0:17:43.040 --> 0:17:45.480 So, like the Dodgers said at the very beginning of 0:17:45.520 --> 0:17:48.440 all this, and we all know this with past athletes 0:17:48.520 --> 0:17:51.399 injuries with obliques, you gotta be extra careful not to 0:17:51.520 --> 0:17:54.320 rush it because it can make it a lot worse. 0:17:54.400 --> 0:17:58.560 And the Dodgers keep rolling even without Mookie bets And look, 0:17:58.600 --> 0:18:01.280 the Dodgers are headed to den for a four game 0:18:01.440 --> 0:18:05.320 series starting Friday night. That's not a place for any injuries. 0:18:05.359 --> 0:18:08.560 So certainly Mookie will not be on the next road trip, 0:18:08.560 --> 0:18:11.080 and we'll see where he's at when the Dodgers return 0:18:11.200 --> 0:18:12.800 home after this seven game trip. 0:18:13.000 --> 0:18:14.920 David is brought to you by the Ford Maverick Motor 0:18:14.960 --> 0:18:16.760 trends of North American Truck of the Year.

David, and you tease 0:18:28.800 --> 0:18:31.560 the pitching matchup for a ton I was like, man Yamamoto, 0:18:31.760 --> 0:18:34.080 Noelan McClain, what a great outing tonight. 0:18:35.080 --> 0:18:35.280 Yeah. 0:18:35.320 --> 0:18:38.520 And Austin Barnes, the former Dodger, was in camp with 0:18:38.600 --> 0:18:41.879 the Mets this spring training and he was raving about 0:18:41.960 --> 0:18:45.920 catching McLean's bullpens and even some live BPS. He said, 0:18:45.920 --> 0:18:49.720 he's the closest thing that he has seen to Yama Moto, 0:18:49.920 --> 0:18:53.160 So we'll see how good he is tonight. Nolan McLain, 0:18:53.240 --> 0:18:57.240 by the way, has an exceptional curveball. In forty at 0:18:57.240 --> 0:19:01.399 bats against his curveball hitters, I have only had three 0:19:01.560 --> 0:19:04.560
