Incredible and while others make excuses. 0:00:12.280 --> 0:00:14.280 The only reason the Dodgers are doing this is because 0:00:14.280 --> 0:00:15.400 they can. They print money. 0:00:15.400 --> 0:00:17.280 The Dodgers just can't continue. 0:00:17.320 --> 0:00:18.080 It's not fair. 0:00:18.280 --> 0:00:19.400 Are making plans. 0:00:20.000 --> 0:00:25.200 Yeah, it's a singular focus on controlling what they can control. 0:00:25.640 --> 0:00:29.400 Now your pregame host of the world champion LA Dodgers, 0:00:29.880 --> 0:00:30.760 Tama Cats. 0:00:31.160 --> 0:00:36.159 Hi, everybody, good afternoon, and welcome to Morongo Casino Dodgers 0:00:36.200 --> 0:00:40.240 on deck on this beautiful Saturday afternoon, April fourth, twenty 0:00:40.320 --> 0:00:44.200 twenty six.

We got your 0:01:12.040 --> 0:01:16.000 Dodgers magical moment. We got highlights of glory to get to. Shortly, 0:01:16.040 --> 0:01:19.320 we'll visit with Kirsten Watson live on the field at 0:01:19.400 --> 0:01:22.240 Nationals Park as she gets ready as well, and in 0:01:22.319 --> 0:01:24.000 just a few minutes we'll head out to the Galpin 0:01:24.080 --> 0:01:29.600 Motors broadcast booth with Steven Nelson and Rick Monday. Well, yesterday, 0:01:29.720 --> 0:01:32.880 the Dodgers played spoiler in the Nationals home opener. 0:01:33.120 --> 0:01:34.560 Image She and got the start. 0:01:34.640 --> 0:01:37.480 The right hander got into a little trouble early in 0:01:37.520 --> 0:01:39.480 the first and traffic on the bass pass. 0:01:39.640 --> 0:01:39.959 CJ. 0:01:40.160 --> 0:01:42.960 Abrams then took him deep for a three run home run, 0:01:43.000 --> 0:01:46.160 and just like that the Nationals with a early three 0:01:46.200 --> 0:01:49.520 to nothing lead. The Dodgers' bats, which were quiet the 0:01:49.560 --> 0:01:51.920 first six games, would wake up in a big way. 0:01:52.040 --> 0:01:55.520 Yesterday him the third down three to nothing show Hey 0:01:55.640 --> 0:01:58.880 O Tany with a blast to write a three run 0:01:58.960 --> 0:02:01.240 shot that tied the game in three. 0:02:01.440 --> 0:02:02.840 Two batters later. 0:02:03.160 --> 0:02:07.320 Mookie deal one now bets lists one in the air 0:02:07.320 --> 0:02:09.800 to left field. This one struck pretty well on the 0:02:09.840 --> 0:02:16.040 warning track at the wall. It is gone. Mookie Betts 0:02:16.160 --> 0:02:20.440 goes into the Dodger bullpen, his second of the year 0:02:20.800 --> 0:02:22.919 and the Dodgers second of this inning. 0:02:23.440 --> 0:02:27.360 They now lead five to three. Two run home run 0:02:27.400 --> 0:02:30.000 for Mookie Bets. Dodgers up five to three. Then in 0:02:30.000 --> 0:02:32.280 the fourth and Andy pot Has with a two run 0:02:32.320 --> 0:02:34.600 home run. He's on fire. Dodgers up seven to four. 0:02:34.880 --> 0:02:38.080 Still in the fifth, Dodgers get Taoscar Hernandez with an 0:02:38.160 --> 0:02:41.600 RBI doubled than Kyle Tucker and RBI's single. Dodgers with 0:02:41.680 --> 0:02:43.880 four runs in the fifth busted it open with an 0:02:43.880 --> 0:02:44.760 eleven to four lead. 0:02:45.080 --> 0:02:48.600 Then in the seventh, Kyle Tucker went deep. 0:02:49.000 --> 0:02:51.240 Two ounce bases empty for the Dodgers in the seventh, 0:02:51.360 --> 0:02:55.600 leading by seventh, Kyle Tucker the better first pitch and 0:02:55.760 --> 0:02:58.960 Tucker rifles won in the air to right field. 0:02:59.080 --> 0:03:01.200 It is out of here. 0:03:03.240 --> 0:03:09.919 And Kyle Tucker is on the board in blue. His 0:03:10.120 --> 0:03:14.560 first Dodger home run gives him a dozen in DC. 0:03:15.360 --> 0:03:19.160 Solo home run for Kyle Tucker on the day, the 0:03:19.160 --> 0:03:21.959 Dodgers would have hit five home runs as he took 0:03:22.000 --> 0:03:24.800 a twelve four lead. They'd go on and win big 0:03:24.880 --> 0:03:29.760 over the Nationals yesterday thirteen to six. The Dodgers bats, well, 0:03:29.760 --> 0:03:32.760 how about sixteen hits, five home runs, Kyle Tucker to 0:03:32.800 --> 0:03:36.360 Asker Hernandez Andy Pyez, each with three hits in the game. 0:03:36.400 --> 0:03:39.720 Pie has Is hitting four to eighty on this season. 0:03:39.800 --> 0:03:42.600 Emmitt Sheen gave up that three run home run to CJ. 0:03:42.720 --> 0:03:45.680 Abrams in the first, but the Nationals only scored one 0:03:45.720 --> 0:03:46.640 more in his five. 0:03:46.440 --> 0:03:48.040 And two third innings he gets to win. 0:03:48.320 --> 0:03:51.920 Miles Michaelis gets roughed up, gives up a career high 0:03:51.960 --> 0:03:54.960 eleven runs on eleven hits in four and a third 0:03:55.000 --> 0:03:58.200 innings of work as the Nationals lose their home opener 0:03:58.240 --> 0:04:01.400 for a fifth straight year, the most runs the Nationals 0:04:01.400 --> 0:04:04.120 are allowed in the home opener since they moved to 0:04:04.160 --> 0:04:08.720 our nation's capital twenty one years ago. Dodgers really piled 0:04:08.760 --> 0:04:11.360 on yesterday, looking to do it again today game two 0:04:11.360 --> 0:04:13.920 of this three game series. Tyler klass Now on the 0:04:13.920 --> 0:04:16.200 mount first pitch on one oh five and with Morlan's 0:04:16.200 --> 0:04:18.160 head out to the galloping four broadcast booth, as we 0:04:18.200 --> 0:04:20.600 say hello to Stephen Nelson and Rick Monday. 0:04:20.640 --> 0:04:24.760 Guys, All right, tim, another beautiful day here in DC 0:04:25.120 --> 0:04:28.040 as the Dodgers have an opportunity to clinch the series 0:04:28.120 --> 0:04:30.640 against the Nationals. It'd be Tyler Glassnell starting for the 0:04:30.640 --> 0:04:34.479 Dodgers and another rity for the Nets, Jake Irvin. But 0:04:34.640 --> 0:04:37.359 Moe looking back to the series opener, who was just 0:04:37.400 --> 0:04:40.239 with the doctor order for the offense season, best marks 0:04:40.560 --> 0:04:43.719 for hits in a game, runs in a game, homers 0:04:43.720 --> 0:04:47.400 in a game. Everybody got involved and the top four 0:04:47.880 --> 0:04:48.839 looked like the top four. 0:04:48.960 --> 0:04:51.240 Yeah, and it was from top to bottom. That was 0:04:51.279 --> 0:04:53.160 a good thing. Five home runs, of course, so they 0:04:53.160 --> 0:04:54.960 can make up for a lot of mistakes that you 0:04:55.040 --> 0:04:57.640 might be able to make. How much Joe Heyotani first 0:04:57.680 --> 0:05:02.000 time he leaves a ballpark, and or Tucker also his 0:05:02.040 --> 0:05:04.840 first home run in a Dodger uniform. But I think 0:05:04.920 --> 0:05:08.080 from talked about him, the Dodgers approach, including the fact 0:05:08.320 --> 0:05:11.880 very few swings and misses in yesterday's ball game, that 0:05:12.000 --> 0:05:13.839 is a big, big improvement for a couple of games 0:05:14.000 --> 0:05:16.560 prior to that. This is a ball club. When you 0:05:16.560 --> 0:05:18.880 look at the Dodgers, they understand full well, and all 0:05:18.920 --> 0:05:21.039 you have to do is just kind of take a 0:05:21.200 --> 0:05:23.720 reading from the crowds that were going to see on 0:05:23.760 --> 0:05:27.400 the road. They're anticipating a great team that their home 0:05:27.440 --> 0:05:29.560 team is going to be playing against, and you know 0:05:29.839 --> 0:05:33.040 the Nationals, they took the early lead. Another come from 0:05:33.080 --> 0:05:34.880 behind victory for this Dodger ball club. 0:05:34.960 --> 0:05:36.880 Yeah, well, you team me up from an next point 0:05:37.000 --> 0:05:39.640 was going to be another comeback win, and the Dodgers 0:05:39.720 --> 0:05:42.400 already have four this year. They led the National League 0:05:42.440 --> 0:05:45.159 with forty eighty year ago, only one fewer than the 0:05:45.240 --> 0:05:49.320 Toronto Boue Jays in twenty twenty five. And on one hand, 0:05:49.360 --> 0:05:53.000 you're saying, Okay, the confidence in this group, they never 0:05:53.040 --> 0:05:54.040 feel like they're out of it. 0:05:54.360 --> 0:05:55.360 They always feel like. 0:05:55.320 --> 0:05:57.480 They can come back, and more often than not they 0:05:57.520 --> 0:06:00.040 seem to. But I don't know if you want to 0:05:59.880 --> 0:06:04.000 fall into the habit of falling behind quickly and early 0:06:04.240 --> 0:06:04.920 like they have been. 0:06:05.040 --> 0:06:07.520 No. Sixth of seven, the other teams have scored first, 0:06:07.600 --> 0:06:10.520 and obviously you had the six games at home, so 0:06:10.600 --> 0:06:13.280 the visiting team has six opportunities to score first because 0:06:13.279 --> 0:06:15.440 they're batting in the time of the first inning. But 0:06:15.520 --> 0:06:17.440 I think part of that, too, is not just the 0:06:17.560 --> 0:06:22.359 run production opportunities with this lineup. Dodgors also had great, 0:06:22.560 --> 0:06:25.520 great belief in their bullpen to be able to shut 0:06:25.560 --> 0:06:28.880 the team down if needed in the seventh, the eighth, 0:06:29.000 --> 0:06:30.880 and the ninth inning. And so far they've been able 0:06:31.120 --> 0:06:32.039 to do that as well. 0:06:32.640 --> 0:06:36.720 And looking ahead to today after spoiling the Nationals home 0:06:36.800 --> 0:06:39.920 opener on Friday, on Saturday, they will hand the ball 0:06:40.000 --> 0:06:43.359 to Tyler Glass now for his second outing of the season. 0:06:44.480 --> 0:06:47.239 Interestingly enough, you're thinking, all right, Glass now with his stuff, 0:06:47.320 --> 0:06:49.440 facing a Nationals team that has been down for the 0:06:49.520 --> 0:06:52.080 last six or seven years, this should be an easy matchup. 0:06:52.120 --> 0:06:55.320 But his career marks against them aren't particularly great. That 0:06:55.400 --> 0:06:56.640 being said, that's in the past. 0:06:56.760 --> 0:06:59.040 Yeah, that's in the past. But the other part too 0:06:59.200 --> 0:07:01.000 is what he want wants to have in the past 0:07:01.040 --> 0:07:04.440 to the rearview mirror is the fact eleven starts last 0:07:04.560 --> 0:07:07.720 year at home, his ERA was under two point eight. 0:07:08.120 --> 0:07:11.560 The seven starts on the road, the ERA was over four. 0:07:11.720 --> 0:07:13.480 Trying to flip that around, do it a little bit 0:07:13.480 --> 0:07:16.920 more and a good outing he had against Arizona last Saturday, 0:07:17.080 --> 0:07:20.440 no decision, but went six strong innings, allowed just two runs, 0:07:20.440 --> 0:07:21.760 struck out six and at. 0:07:21.640 --> 0:07:26.480 Ball game and facing a starter in Jake Irvin opposite Glass. Now, 0:07:26.800 --> 0:07:29.440 we's had some trouble keeping the ball in the yard. 0:07:29.480 --> 0:07:31.280 We'll talk about that a little bit later, Tim, when 0:07:31.280 --> 0:07:32.280 we get a key from mope. 0:07:32.360 --> 0:07:33.880 All right, thank you nellyus.

Calex is 0:09:58.800 --> 0:10:01.200 going to be out there and Let's and it's really 0:10:01.320 --> 0:10:03.280 just so that they can get tail office speeds to 0:10:03.320 --> 0:10:06.439 prepare for this Toronto series. It's obviously three games straight, 0:10:06.520 --> 0:10:09.480 it's going to be on turf, indoors, and so Dave 0:10:09.600 --> 0:10:11.559 was saying he wanted to find ways to get players 0:10:11.600 --> 0:10:13.880 here and there just a day so that they can 0:10:13.920 --> 0:10:17.160 be prepared for that Blue Jay series. So today it 0:10:17.200 --> 0:10:20.240 is chaoscar. We also noticed, of course yesterday with how 0:10:20.360 --> 0:10:22.280 many runs the guys were able to put on the board. 0:10:22.520 --> 0:10:25.280 He got to break late in the game, but there's 0:10:25.320 --> 0:10:28.200 nothing there. Colet's obviously come into this spring in this 0:10:28.280 --> 0:10:31.720 year incredibly healthy and a really good spot, being intentional 0:10:31.760 --> 0:10:33.400 with kind of losing a little bit of weight so 0:10:33.440 --> 0:10:36.280 that he's felt like he could just move quicker, and 0:10:36.440 --> 0:10:39.800 even with battling that groin injury last year, he just 0:10:39.800 --> 0:10:42.640 felt like this offseason not only was he able to steal, 0:10:42.800 --> 0:10:44.440 but just be in a position where he could be 0:10:44.440 --> 0:10:47.880 extremely agile. So he is fully healthy, in a really 0:10:47.880 --> 0:10:50.319 good spot, just getting a day off prepare for the 0:10:50.360 --> 0:10:51.240 Blue Jay Series. 0:10:51.480 --> 0:10:54.079 Tyler Glass now gets to start. He had a really 0:10:54.120 --> 0:10:57.120 good spring here, so we talked about that before first start, 0:10:57.160 --> 0:10:58.480 and he went out and had a really good first 0:10:58.480 --> 0:10:59.120 start as well. 0:11:00.120 --> 0:11:00.440 He did. 0:11:00.480 --> 0:11:03.359 He has been someone who has been a steady workforce, 0:11:03.400 --> 0:11:06.160 whether we saw it in spring training as you mentioned 0:11:06.240 --> 0:11:09.640 the first outing of the season, getting through sixth innings 0:11:09.679 --> 0:11:12.280 of work, and even how we've seen them to set 0:11:12.360 --> 0:11:14.480 up the rotation, how you have a young player in 0:11:14.640 --> 0:11:16.840 Emmett and you've got Tyler and then a young player 0:11:16.840 --> 0:11:20.640 in Rokie. How he can provide just a consistency in 0:11:20.720 --> 0:11:23.920 the depths. Such a value, especially in between two young 0:11:24.040 --> 0:11:27.440 starters in which obviously there's high expectations from them unless 0:11:27.559 --> 0:11:29.760 we were able to see Emmett getting to that sixth 0:11:29.760 --> 0:11:32.120 inning yesterday, but they're still a little bit of unknown 0:11:32.120 --> 0:11:33.920 of what they're going to be able to provide. So 0:11:33.960 --> 0:11:36.400 you have someone like Tyler in the middle, he has 0:11:36.480 --> 0:11:38.600 been excellent stuff is in a really good spot and 0:11:38.640 --> 0:11:42.280 he even shared with me, actually, you look at how 0:11:42.360 --> 0:11:44.640 last year played out for him. The month of September, 0:11:44.840 --> 0:11:47.199 he won all four of his start and he was 0:11:47.240 --> 0:11:49.880 saying that he actually found something in a bullpen that 0:11:49.960 --> 0:11:53.040 Connor McGinnis and Mark Bryer brought to his attention. He 0:11:53.080 --> 0:11:55.640 said that he felt like he was kind of flying 0:11:55.679 --> 0:11:57.800 open when he was landing coming off of the mound 0:11:57.840 --> 0:12:00.520 and it was not allowing him to really stol and 0:12:00.800 --> 0:12:04.080 manned his hitches, and so by landing a little bit 0:12:04.120 --> 0:12:06.079 more closed in in order to do that, he opened 0:12:06.160 --> 0:12:08.240 up his back foot just a little bit, and he 0:12:08.280 --> 0:12:11.080 said it made a world of a difference. So's that 0:12:11.160 --> 0:12:13.360 bullpen that kind of changed everything, and he's just been 0:12:13.480 --> 0:12:17.400 riding that out and obviously we're seeing the results. He's 0:12:17.440 --> 0:12:19.960 in a great position and he's been such a reliable 0:12:20.000 --> 0:12:22.080 person for this team, and a part of it also 0:12:22.200 --> 0:12:23.880 is just kind of has grown and the time he's 0:12:23.880 --> 0:12:25.560 been here and Dave Roberts has really seen that. 0:12:26.360 --> 0:12:29.040 No doubt, they need another big audience from Tyler Glass 0:12:29.040 --> 0:12:31.400 now today, all right, Kirsten, we will check in with 0:12:31.440 --> 0:12:32.240 you after the game. 0:12:32.160 --> 0:12:32.560 Still to come. 0:12:32.559 --> 0:12:34.920 Here on Wrongo Causino Dodgers on Deck, we'll dive deeper 0:12:34.920 --> 0:12:37.480 into this pitching matchup David Vestatoes one on one with 0:12:37.600 --> 0:12:40.400 Chris Archer. But up next at injury report and we'll 0:12:40.400 --> 0:12:43.480 hear from the Dodger skipper Dave Roberts. Dodgers and Nationals 0:12:43.480 --> 0:12:45.400 on this Saturday first pitch of one oh five.

First pitch coming up at one o five. 0:13:17.800 --> 0:13:21.480 It's the LA Dodgers Injury Report. 0:13:21.600 --> 0:13:23.880 Of my UCLA Healthy official medical partner of the Los 0:13:23.920 --> 0:13:26.400 Angeles Dodgers. Tommy Emman on the I L. Blake Snell 0:13:26.480 --> 0:13:28.760 on the IL Rock Stewart starting the year on the 0:13:28.760 --> 0:13:31.400 I L. Key k Hernandez on the sixty day I L, 0:13:31.760 --> 0:13:34.040 but he is trending towards the comeback when those sixty 0:13:34.120 --> 0:13:36.320 days expire. Land and knack on the I L with 0:13:36.400 --> 0:13:40.199 the intercostal stran Gavin Stone on the sixty day IL 0:13:40.640 --> 0:13:43.520 as well. Let's head back out to our nation's capital 0:13:43.520 --> 0:13:44.840 and check in with the Dodger manager. 0:13:45.240 --> 0:13:45.760 Anything else with. 0:13:47.360 --> 0:13:48.080 Questions for Dave? 0:13:48.160 --> 0:13:51.160 Dave? Can you just describe Dave? Can you talk about 0:13:51.160 --> 0:13:52.800 the pressure in. 0:13:52.800 --> 0:13:55.679 The dugouts with Dave Roberts, you. 0:13:55.640 --> 0:14:01.920 Know, not really I think that, you know, I think 0:14:03.200 --> 0:14:05.800 obviously the leg injury, which I think he was kind 0:14:05.800 --> 0:14:09.240 of battling with a lot of the year, But I 0:14:09.320 --> 0:14:12.640 feel that he's in much better shape this year. He's healthy, 0:14:13.360 --> 0:14:15.280 and I think this is more for me of like 0:14:15.840 --> 0:14:20.080 kind of trying to get his footing before we kind 0:14:20.080 --> 0:14:23.040 of let him run loose six in rows a lot, 0:14:23.120 --> 0:14:25.680 and then we're going to play three games on turf 0:14:25.760 --> 0:14:28.640 in Toronto. I want them for all three games there. 0:14:28.720 --> 0:14:32.080 So how can we kind of introduce Alex into the season, 0:14:32.800 --> 0:14:34.880 get him off to see that's more than impetus. 0:14:37.120 --> 0:14:38.240 You look at this rotation. 0:14:39.560 --> 0:14:41.480 I noticed how you kind of stacked the two younger 0:14:41.480 --> 0:14:44.000 players with in between the veterans. When you have someone 0:14:44.040 --> 0:14:46.320 like Tyler Glass now in the force that he has 0:14:46.360 --> 0:14:48.240 been on the mound, how beneficial is. 0:14:48.160 --> 0:14:51.000 It just having him in between him and then Roki. 0:14:52.120 --> 0:14:52.680 It's great. 0:14:53.080 --> 0:14:57.080 There's a little bit of thought obviously behind that, you know, 0:14:58.080 --> 0:15:01.160 just making sure that a feeling comfortable in the sense 0:15:01.160 --> 0:15:03.960 that when Tyler takes him out and you feel that 0:15:04.080 --> 0:15:07.480 he can give you some length and coverage and be 0:15:07.600 --> 0:15:10.640 willing to be able to navigate through some stress and 0:15:10.680 --> 0:15:12.880 you can push them a little bit more so having 0:15:13.000 --> 0:15:16.760 him kind of lumped in between those two guys, you know, 0:15:16.960 --> 0:15:19.960 is pretty helpful for our staff in total. 0:15:20.240 --> 0:15:22.800 All right, there's Dave Roberts with some pregame thoughts. When 0:15:22.800 --> 0:15:25.720 we continue here on Wrongo Casino Dodgers on Deck, we'll 0:15:25.800 --> 0:15:29.800 check in with David Vaz say Dodger player injured in 0:15:29.880 --> 0:15:32.800 pregame warm ups. We'll find out the latest from dv 0:15:33.000 --> 0:15:36.920 next as we lead you out to first pitch Dodgers Nationals. 0:15:37.160 --> 0:15:38.280 I'm Tim Kates is the back to. 0:15:38.280 --> 0:15:44.720 Back world champion Dodgers Audio Network. 0:15:45.040 --> 0:15:49.760 As we were saying yes' is Morongo Casino Dodgers on 0:15:49.960 --> 0:15:53.840 Jack on the official home of La Dodgers Baseball. 0:15:54.880 --> 0:15:58.040 Dodgers and Nationals. On this Saturday afternoon, Tyler Glass now 0:15:58.080 --> 0:16:00.000 goes for the blue first pitch of one oh five 0:16:00.080 --> 0:16:02.000 Dodgers Baseball is brought to by Alpoto, born. 0:16:01.880 --> 0:16:03.760 In LA and made for your game day. 0:16:03.760 --> 0:16:07.960 Alipoto brings authentic Mexican style tomato sauces, sauces and hot 0:16:08.000 --> 0:16:11.840 sauces to your table El Pato Gourmet and a can. 0:16:13.640 --> 0:16:16.280 Joining Tim Kats on Dodgers on deck. 0:16:16.160 --> 0:16:17.920 I accept everybody for who they are. 0:16:18.040 --> 0:16:21.040 This is Dodger inside the David. 0:16:21.560 --> 0:16:23.720 All right, David, what in the world happened? Some kind 0:16:23.760 --> 0:16:26.240 of freak accident during stretching. 0:16:26.960 --> 0:16:29.880 Something that I've never seen and other players on the 0:16:29.920 --> 0:16:33.640 Dodgers had never seen. So the Dodgers were starting to 0:16:34.320 --> 0:16:39.600 stretch out along the third base foul territory area while 0:16:39.640 --> 0:16:44.200 the Nationals were still taking batting practice, and Alex Call 0:16:44.440 --> 0:16:48.160 got drilled by a foul ball off the bat of 0:16:48.200 --> 0:16:52.240 his former team, a Brady House. Somehow, some way, the 0:16:52.360 --> 0:16:56.560 right handed hitting House uh pull the ball that didn't 0:16:56.560 --> 0:17:00.280 get stopped by the batting cage and instead he hit 0:17:00.320 --> 0:17:04.120 Alex Call in the upper chest area. Call went down. 0:17:04.200 --> 0:17:06.240 You heard him scream. You heard the bat and then 0:17:06.280 --> 0:17:10.320 you heard call scream. The Dodgers got the trainer to 0:17:10.359 --> 0:17:13.760 come over. Luckily, where he'd hit him, there was a 0:17:13.760 --> 0:17:16.600 lot of meat and muscle. It could have been a 0:17:16.640 --> 0:17:19.399 lot worse, but he was very fortunate it hit him 0:17:19.400 --> 0:17:22.680 where it did. And after he was in the dugout, 0:17:22.800 --> 0:17:26.800 so I took the opportunity to ask him how he's feeling, 0:17:26.880 --> 0:17:29.760 and you know whether or not, he he feels like 0:17:29.800 --> 0:17:33.720 he's very lucky. I'm okay, I'm okay, I'm doing did 0:17:33.760 --> 0:17:34.680 you see it even coming? 0:17:35.400 --> 0:17:38.080 Well, I saw it coming, yeah, and then I was 0:17:38.080 --> 0:17:39.919 doing hig knees and I got in the chest, you know, 0:17:40.080 --> 0:17:43.399 my buddy Brady. So hopefully he doesn't beat himself up 0:17:43.400 --> 0:17:44.600 too much. But it's all good. 0:17:44.640 --> 0:17:46.399 He's trying to take you out for your first start. 0:17:46.880 --> 0:17:50.440 Maybe probably not, but it's all good. 0:17:50.440 --> 0:17:50.800 It's all guy. 0:17:50.800 --> 0:17:52.720 I've been hit with baseballs every part of my body, 0:17:52.760 --> 0:17:54.040 so that's kind of a new area. 0:17:54.080 --> 0:17:54.760 But it's all right. 0:17:56.680 --> 0:17:58.679 Yeah, he could laugh about it now, but it was 0:17:58.680 --> 0:18:00.440 a scary situation there. 0:18:00.480 --> 0:18:01.960 Everybody was very concerned. 0:18:01.960 --> 0:18:05.119 Bretty House came over and you know, wanted to make 0:18:05.160 --> 0:18:08.040 sure his former teammate and buddy, Alex Call was okay. 0:18:08.119 --> 0:18:11.240 And then after all that took place, tim they actually 0:18:11.280 --> 0:18:12.880 moved the cage forward. 0:18:13.280 --> 0:18:14.120 Maybe they should have. 0:18:14.080 --> 0:18:18.040 Done that initially before Alex Call got hit by a 0:18:18.080 --> 0:18:21.119 ball that wrapped around the cage. So he's still on 0:18:21.200 --> 0:18:24.040 the starting lineup and he's making his first start of 0:18:24.040 --> 0:18:28.639 the season. We were joking Taascar. Hernandez came out in 0:18:28.680 --> 0:18:31.640 a hoodie and me and Alex Friedland were screaming at him, Hey, 0:18:31.640 --> 0:18:35.280 get ready, tail starts stretching, and you could joke around 0:18:35.320 --> 0:18:37.000 about it now because Call was okay. 0:18:37.320 --> 0:18:38.200 Thankfully he is okay. 0:18:38.280 --> 0:18:40.080 David is brought to you by the Ford Maverick Motor 0:18:40.119 --> 0:18:42.440 Trends in North America's Truck of the Year, the Ford 0:18:42.480 --> 0:18:45.000 Maverick everything you need in the most innovative truck with 0:18:45.119 --> 0:18:47.800 forty two miles per gallon at the best MSRP of 0:18:47.840 --> 0:18:50.600 its category.
