The only mistake that he made up came 0:02:04.880 --> 0:02:08.160 in the second inning Jorgeeslaire a solo home run to 0:02:08.280 --> 0:02:11.800 right center field as the Angels grabbed a one nothing lead, 0:02:11.880 --> 0:02:15.519 but that lead did not last long. Top of the third, 0:02:15.720 --> 0:02:17.280 up came Tao. 0:02:17.800 --> 0:02:20.200 Several years ago, they moved the home run line down 0:02:21.280 --> 0:02:25.560 below the halfway mark of that wall, and the ball 0:02:25.639 --> 0:02:27.560 hit the scoreboard for a home run, and it's head 0:02:27.600 --> 0:02:30.000 in that direction again. This time it's going to be 0:02:30.040 --> 0:02:33.040 over the scoreboard and gone an opposite field home run 0:02:33.360 --> 0:02:36.720 Teoscar Hernandez, and it's one to one. 0:02:38.360 --> 0:02:41.359 Fourth home run of the spring for tayoskar. 0:02:42.880 --> 0:02:45.280 Or a guy that has had twenty five home runs 0:02:45.360 --> 0:02:48.720 or more in five consecutive seasons, and there was no 0:02:48.840 --> 0:02:50.040 doubt about that one. 0:02:50.440 --> 0:02:53.839 Tay Oscar Hernandez goes deep that tied the game at one, 0:02:53.919 --> 0:02:57.440 and the Dodgers were just getting started. Mookie Betts would 0:02:57.520 --> 0:03:01.720 drive bases loaded walk, then Freddy rebjury bases loaded walk, 0:03:01.800 --> 0:03:06.280 then Max Munsey drew a bassis loaded walk. Tasker Hernandez 0:03:06.280 --> 0:03:08.760 would come back up still in the third and single 0:03:08.840 --> 0:03:10.600 to left, scoring two Dodgers a. 0:03:10.720 --> 0:03:13.119 Six to one lead, and they still weren't done. 0:03:13.120 --> 0:03:16.239 Andy Pie has an RBI single to right, scoring Max Monsey. 0:03:16.560 --> 0:03:20.720 Dodgers were up seven to one, bases loaded for Shohey O'tani, 0:03:20.800 --> 0:03:24.280 who doubled off the wall in center field. Three runs 0:03:24.320 --> 0:03:27.520 came in to score. Dodgers sent fourteen batters to the 0:03:27.560 --> 0:03:30.880 plate in the third inning, faced three different Angel pitchers 0:03:31.120 --> 0:03:33.680 as they took a ten to one lead, and they 0:03:33.720 --> 0:03:35.760 weren't done. In the top half of the sixth inning, 0:03:35.760 --> 0:03:39.040 Will Smith and RBI single that made it an eleven 0:03:39.120 --> 0:03:43.480 to one Dodgers lead. In the seventh, Dodgers up eleven 0:03:43.520 --> 0:03:46.720 to five when James Tibbs the third left the parks. 0:03:47.360 --> 0:03:50.840 He's out of Florida State, the twenty twenty four ACC 0:03:51.280 --> 0:03:54.240 Player of the Year out of Florida State. He swings 0:03:54.280 --> 0:03:57.320 HiT's a drive to center. This balls back, it is 0:03:57.440 --> 0:04:02.040 gone a home around. James up Is the third makes 0:04:02.080 --> 0:04:08.600 it twelve to five, as he has homeward in consecutive games. Again, 0:04:08.760 --> 0:04:11.160 the buttons did not pop off the shirt, but he 0:04:11.280 --> 0:04:12.200 showed some power. 0:04:12.920 --> 0:04:16.640 Tims goes deep four hundred and eight feet to center field, 0:04:16.680 --> 0:04:19.599 his fourth of the spring, and that is the top 0:04:19.600 --> 0:04:22.040 tier play the game, brought to by ARCO quality, top 0:04:22.080 --> 0:04:24.560 tier gash for less than the eighth of Neil Morales 0:04:24.560 --> 0:04:27.560 and rby guyed single as the Dodgers go on and 0:04:27.640 --> 0:04:31.760 beat up on the Anaheim Angels last night, thirteen to five. 0:04:32.240 --> 0:04:33.480 Tyler Glass now. 0:04:33.520 --> 0:04:36.479 Really good for five innings, one run to three hits, 0:04:36.760 --> 0:04:39.119 eleven strike gowns now two to zero in this spring 0:04:39.120 --> 0:04:41.359 and his final tune up before the start of the 0:04:41.360 --> 0:04:44.560 regular season. The series now heads back up to Dodgers 0:04:44.560 --> 0:04:47.800 Stadium for tonight and tomorrow night. Rookie Sasaki on the 0:04:47.839 --> 0:04:50.200 mounta tonight for the Dodgers with more. Let's head out 0:04:50.200 --> 0:04:52.920 to the Kalpin Motors broadcast booth as we say hello 0:04:52.960 --> 0:04:54.480 to Tim Nevert and Rick Monday. 0:04:54.480 --> 0:04:56.200 Guys, Tim, thank you very much. 0:04:56.240 --> 0:04:58.960 We've got a beautiful night for to Dodgers Stadium as 0:04:58.960 --> 0:05:02.120 the Dodgers and Angel take part in Game two of 0:05:02.320 --> 0:05:05.760 the Freeway Series. Last night, the Dodgers with a thirteen 0:05:05.880 --> 0:05:08.920 to five win, a ten run third inning. They batted 0:05:08.960 --> 0:05:12.120 around on that inning, seven walks in that inning. And 0:05:12.160 --> 0:05:15.719 you might say, well, the pitching for the Angels was subpar. 0:05:15.920 --> 0:05:17.960 But on the other hand, I think you have to 0:05:17.960 --> 0:05:21.520 look at the plate discipline of the Dodgers, not chasing pitches. 0:05:21.600 --> 0:05:24.960 That's something we saw all spring. They earned all those walks. 0:05:25.040 --> 0:05:25.200 You know. 0:05:25.240 --> 0:05:27.320 One of the things we talk about is the amount 0:05:27.400 --> 0:05:30.760 of patients that they use as selection if you will pitches, 0:05:31.000 --> 0:05:33.880 are the pitches worthy enough of the swing? And especially 0:05:33.920 --> 0:05:36.960 in situations you know first and third, Okay, what's my 0:05:37.080 --> 0:05:40.200 job being selective according to situation? What's up on the 0:05:40.200 --> 0:05:43.040 scoreboard as well? Where you are positioning the lineup, who's 0:05:43.040 --> 0:05:45.680 batting behind you, in which stage in the ballgame you are, 0:05:45.960 --> 0:05:48.440 seventh inning, the ninth inning, the first inning. A lot 0:05:48.440 --> 0:05:50.520 of different factors go into it. And this has been 0:05:50.560 --> 0:05:53.760 a Dodger ball club Arizona. We saw last night very 0:05:53.920 --> 0:05:55.000 patient at home plate. 0:05:55.440 --> 0:05:58.239 Breed Dettmer's the lefty wore the Angels gets the start. 0:05:58.240 --> 0:06:01.120 He's zero and one in the spring, wrote Sasaki, the 0:06:01.160 --> 0:06:03.800 Dodger right hand and will start. He has won. And oh, 0:06:03.880 --> 0:06:06.800 we'll talk more about the pitchers in just a little bit. 0:06:06.920 --> 0:06:09.760 But as far as the lineup goes tonight, Mo, this 0:06:09.839 --> 0:06:13.359 is more of a lineup, maybe an experiment against what 0:06:13.480 --> 0:06:17.800 would be a left handed pitcher with Otani and Tucker left. 0:06:17.800 --> 0:06:19.760 He's at the top of the order, but Freddie Freeman 0:06:19.839 --> 0:06:22.360 moves to the fifth spot and Max Munsey is out. 0:06:22.400 --> 0:06:24.200 And the other part too, is you look down near 0:06:24.240 --> 0:06:27.760 the bottom of it, Santiago Espinola continues to really kind 0:06:27.760 --> 0:06:30.640 of flash. He's playing at third base, batting in that 0:06:30.760 --> 0:06:33.800 number seven spot, and then Miguel Rojas will bat night 0:06:33.880 --> 0:06:36.880 then play at second base in tonight's BAWL game. If 0:06:36.880 --> 0:06:39.440 you look at this lineup, Dave Roberts is talking a 0:06:39.440 --> 0:06:41.960 little bit earlier. You know he has great flexibility at 0:06:41.960 --> 0:06:44.480 this particular point. And there's a couple of guys on 0:06:44.520 --> 0:06:47.520 the men. If we think of Tommy Edmond and also 0:06:47.600 --> 0:06:51.200 kicka Hernandez. They are ways away from being healthy and 0:06:51.240 --> 0:06:53.760 being eligible to come back on the active list, but 0:06:53.920 --> 0:06:57.200 that will continue as far as being able to have 0:06:57.360 --> 0:07:00.919 different possibilities in the different verytions. They'll line up. 0:07:01.160 --> 0:07:03.279 Great to be back here at Dodgers Stadium. This is 0:07:03.279 --> 0:07:05.680 the first time the twenty twenty six Dodgers will play 0:07:05.720 --> 0:07:09.680 a game here. Two exhibitions here before opening evening on 0:07:09.880 --> 0:07:11.480 Thursday against the Diamondbacks. 0:07:11.840 --> 0:07:13.120 Dodgers this spring. 0:07:12.960 --> 0:07:16.680 Twenty eight and one. That's twenty wins, eight losses. At 0:07:16.680 --> 0:07:19.680 one time. The Angels are sixteen and fifteen and the 0:07:19.720 --> 0:07:22.880 Dodgers are three and zero against the Angels this spring. 0:07:23.000 --> 0:07:24.680 Nice to be back here, and one thing that's nice 0:07:24.800 --> 0:07:26.960 kind of flies under the radar. A lot of the 0:07:26.960 --> 0:07:30.400 really good Dodger prospects are here. They'll play in this series, 0:07:30.800 --> 0:07:32.960 and for some of them, it's their first time getting 0:07:32.960 --> 0:07:35.040 on the field at Dodger Stadium, getting to take VP. 0:07:35.240 --> 0:07:36.840 And I saw some of them just go out on 0:07:36.880 --> 0:07:39.040 the field and look and kudos to the ground screw 0:07:39.080 --> 0:07:41.239 here because one of the first things I noticed, besides 0:07:41.280 --> 0:07:44.120 being back into this you know, Dodger Blue Palace, that's 0:07:44.160 --> 0:07:48.560 exactly what it is. It has held its age exceptionally. Well. 0:07:48.800 --> 0:07:50.560 It's fun to come back here. And then you look 0:07:50.600 --> 0:07:53.240 at this field.

Kudos again to the 0:07:58.800 --> 0:08:01.840 ground screw.

Season one of that's 0:10:54.120 --> 0:10:57.600 against right against, left and so it's all starting to 0:10:57.600 --> 0:10:59.720 feel very, real and being back here is kind of 0:10:59.720 --> 0:11:00.760 just like the icing on the. 0:11:00.800 --> 0:11:04.000 Cake Roki, sasaki as you mentioned on the, mound and For, 0:11:04.160 --> 0:11:06.400 roki it's been kind of an up and down. Spring 0:11:06.480 --> 0:11:09.400 he didn't go play in The World Baseball, classic all 0:11:09.440 --> 0:11:10.800 focus on being in this. 0:11:10.880 --> 0:11:13.800 Rotation, yeah you, know and that's exactly what it. Is 0:11:13.840 --> 0:11:16.760 he's been working through a few things, mechanically and when 0:11:16.760 --> 0:11:18.319 we look at his, outings you know there would be 0:11:18.360 --> 0:11:21.840 time where the stuff was, excellent his command was.

Work so when it comes to this one, 0:11:44.080 --> 0:11:47.080 tonight obviously he's been working through a few. Things he 0:11:47.200 --> 0:11:50.080 does feel with each outing that he is continuing to, 0:11:50.080 --> 0:11:52.960 progress and Even Dave roberts said today that they have 0:11:53.040 --> 0:11:56.680 felt like the command and specific has continued to really 0:11:56.760 --> 0:11:59.040 lock in as spring has gone. On with each outing 0:11:59.080 --> 0:12:01.760 he's gotten. Better but now it's kind of going to 0:12:02.200 --> 0:12:04.439 going into compete. Mode you, know we really saw that 0:12:04.520 --> 0:12:07.240 last night With Tyler.
