Another beautiful night here at 0:04:27.839 --> 0:04:31.200 Unicolo Field at Dodgers Stadium for National League action as 0:04:31.200 --> 0:04:33.600 the Diamondbacks come in to take on the Dodgers. Dodgers 0:04:33.600 --> 0:04:37.360 sixty one and thirty three and a season high fourteen 0:04:37.400 --> 0:04:40.680 and a half games above the Diamondbacks and the standings. 0:04:41.279 --> 0:04:44.480 The Dodgers have won sixteen of their last twenty two, 0:04:44.640 --> 0:04:47.960 which has tied the Miami Marlins for the best record 0:04:48.000 --> 0:04:52.400 since mid June. Anytime. The Diamondbacks forty six and forty seven, 0:04:52.880 --> 0:04:55.359 they've lost eleven of the last eighteen. Coming off a 0:04:55.360 --> 0:04:59.520 four game split with San Diego Tonight, and Wardo Rodriguez 0:04:59.560 --> 0:05:01.880 will pitch for Arizona the left. He is seven and 0:05:02.040 --> 0:05:05.600 three with a two and a quarter ERA. Kyle Hurt 0:05:05.640 --> 0:05:07.960 will be the opener. He'll start tonight, make his second 0:05:08.040 --> 0:05:12.040 career start. He has twenty four scoreless outings in thirty 0:05:12.080 --> 0:05:14.200 one appearances. He's three and one on a four five 0:05:14.320 --> 0:05:17.600 five ERA. Why is Kyle Hurt starting? Because show hey 0:05:17.640 --> 0:05:20.920 Otani isn't That is the top story today, the fact 0:05:20.960 --> 0:05:23.760 that Otani is going to skip this start. He's also 0:05:23.920 --> 0:05:26.680 going to skip the All Star Game. He will dh 0:05:27.040 --> 0:05:29.719 these three games this weekend, but he will not be 0:05:29.800 --> 0:05:31.479 participating in the Midsummer Classes. 0:05:31.560 --> 0:05:33.440 No, he will be in the lineup tonight as the 0:05:33.480 --> 0:05:36.840 designated hitter and lead things off. And Dave Robertson asked 0:05:37.320 --> 0:05:40.320 about an hour and a half before a ballgame, what 0:05:40.520 --> 0:05:43.320 is the status of show Hey Otani, and he said, well, 0:05:43.560 --> 0:05:46.000 it's the left knee that's an issue, and it continues 0:05:46.040 --> 0:05:48.240 to swell. There's a build up of fluid. He will 0:05:48.240 --> 0:05:51.279 have the fluid drained on Sunday. They've got it precisely 0:05:52.279 --> 0:05:55.400 figured out. He's not going to fly to the All 0:05:55.440 --> 0:05:57.400 Star Game either. They did not want him getting in 0:05:57.440 --> 0:06:00.680 the airplane with altitude possibly the swelling on top of that. 0:06:00.839 --> 0:06:04.200 So as far as no extra pressure is put on 0:06:04.240 --> 0:06:07.000 that knee, as far as his stress and strain as 0:06:07.000 --> 0:06:09.120 the hitter, Otani will remain in the lineup. 0:06:09.520 --> 0:06:11.920 And the next question is what about after the All 0:06:11.960 --> 0:06:15.040 Star Game? Where does he fit in? Well, Dave roberts 0:06:15.040 --> 0:06:17.400 said he didn't know where he'll slot in just yet. 0:06:17.480 --> 0:06:20.200 In terms of the starting rotation. He will be there 0:06:20.240 --> 0:06:22.719 at the plate leading off and as the DH but 0:06:23.160 --> 0:06:27.599 they can recalibrate the rotation afterward. Because the Dodgers have 0:06:27.680 --> 0:06:30.160 six starters, they've got a lot of flexibility and they 0:06:30.200 --> 0:06:32.400 might put him off a little bit later just to 0:06:32.400 --> 0:06:33.320 give him some extra rush. 0:06:33.400 --> 0:06:34.520 Yeah, so that's up in here. 0:06:34.560 --> 0:06:37.200 Meanwhile, the Dodgers have the ball games to win, and 0:06:37.240 --> 0:06:39.680 they won seven of the last ten ball games on 0:06:39.720 --> 0:06:42.240 top of it, So a little bit different lineup. Tommy 0:06:42.360 --> 0:06:45.000 Edmund who's really been hitting the ball very well, will 0:06:45.040 --> 0:06:47.479 move up in the lineup. Miguel Rojas will also be 0:06:47.520 --> 0:06:50.440 in the lineup tonight, and Dults and Rushing returns to 0:06:50.480 --> 0:06:51.880 the starting lineup behind the plate. 0:06:52.839 --> 0:06:55.760 So as far as Eduardo Rodriguez goes, he has been 0:06:55.800 --> 0:06:58.800 tough against the Dodgers this year, So the Dodgers have 0:06:58.839 --> 0:07:00.600 to find a way to get some run against them. 0:07:00.600 --> 0:07:03.120 He's only allowed two runs, one of them earned. Where 0:07:03.160 --> 0:07:05.120 do they get their runs against the all star left? 0:07:05.360 --> 0:07:06.880 Well, we're going to find out if the Dodgers have 0:07:06.920 --> 0:07:09.920 been made able to manufacture some runs. In fact, they've 0:07:09.920 --> 0:07:12.960 scored one hundred, make that four hundred and ninety eight, 0:07:13.480 --> 0:07:16.320 they have allowed just three hundred and thirty four. So 0:07:16.360 --> 0:07:18.640 there's a big, big disparity. If you look at Arizona, 0:07:18.960 --> 0:07:21.440 they have allowed more runs than they have scored. But 0:07:21.640 --> 0:07:24.720 this is a new challenge here tonight, and there's no 0:07:24.880 --> 0:07:27.840 question that teams behind the Dodgers, every one of them 0:07:27.840 --> 0:07:29.680 in the Western Division, trying to knock on the door 0:07:29.680 --> 0:07:31.440 and close the gap. And before that's a big gap. 0:07:31.520 --> 0:07:33.920 Fourteen and a half, five and a half out in 0:07:33.960 --> 0:07:37.080 the wild Card for the Diamondbacks, that's their their best 0:07:37.080 --> 0:07:39.600 hope at this point in time. For the Dodgers are 0:07:39.680 --> 0:07:42.440 cruising along here in the National League Western Division at 0:07:42.440 --> 0:07:44.960 Wider Ron Rigez, Kyle Hurt.

Good news is it's a team game. 0:09:06.920 --> 0:09:09.959 The Dodgers won the game four to three thanks to 0:09:10.040 --> 0:09:13.240 Mookie Betts, who had to go ahead RBI single in 0:09:13.320 --> 0:09:15.680 the bottom half of the eighth Indian and afterwards caught 0:09:15.760 --> 0:09:18.320 up with Kears to Watson, Mookie. 0:09:18.040 --> 0:09:20.040 Let's go straight to that. At that you were down 0:09:20.080 --> 0:09:22.160 in the count. You battled though, just brinding to get 0:09:22.160 --> 0:09:24.480 to that ninth pitch and which you ultimately got the result. 0:09:24.559 --> 0:09:26.760 What were you just looking for? What was your approach 0:09:26.800 --> 0:09:27.839 there to get to Senstela? 0:09:28.840 --> 0:09:31.160 Early in account, I was trying to drive it just 0:09:31.160 --> 0:09:32.800 to make sure we got the run in, and once 0:09:32.840 --> 0:09:35.880 I got down, it was just here a battle, put 0:09:35.960 --> 0:09:38.360 it in play and just see what happens. I was 0:09:38.400 --> 0:09:41.880 able to thousand pitches off and I got one that. 0:09:42.040 --> 0:09:44.560 Uh oh, I got one that. Uh. 0:09:44.720 --> 0:09:46.000 I mean, I was able to put a good swing 0:09:46.080 --> 0:09:47.600 on and I'm glad it went fair. 0:09:47.640 --> 0:09:49.040 I hit enough foul balls that at. 0:09:48.960 --> 0:09:51.480 That there's obviously a lot of familiarity there. But is 0:09:51.520 --> 0:09:53.360 there anything you were able to take into your bat 0:09:53.400 --> 0:09:55.600 from what you were looking for, whether it's from Tommy 0:09:55.679 --> 0:09:57.280 or even Freddie who were in front of you tonight. 0:09:58.040 --> 0:09:59.920 No, I mean him. 0:10:00.160 --> 0:10:01.760 I faced him a bunch of times, but out of 0:10:01.760 --> 0:10:04.600 the bullpen, you know, it's a little different, and so 0:10:04.720 --> 0:10:06.640 he the way he pitches a little different. So that's 0:10:06.640 --> 0:10:08.200 really my first time facing him out of the thin, 0:10:08.320 --> 0:10:10.439 but I mean it was really just kind of being 0:10:10.480 --> 0:10:12.400 in competition and just playing. 0:10:12.640 --> 0:10:14.080 Last night was a tough loss. Well, a lot of 0:10:14.080 --> 0:10:16.520 today was about turning the page with the row Ki Sasaki. 0:10:16.559 --> 0:10:18.559 How did you see him just grind through this outing 0:10:18.600 --> 0:10:20.760 but really get back on track after having two on 0:10:20.840 --> 0:10:21.760 there in the fourth inning. 0:10:22.080 --> 0:10:24.360 Yeah, that was that was huge.

We're fighting for him, and I mean 0:10:35.080 --> 0:10:37.120 he gave us a great outing today, you know, letting 0:10:37.160 --> 0:10:37.760 him to score three. 0:10:37.760 --> 0:10:39.240 I mean we got to be able to score. 0:10:39.080 --> 0:10:40.760 More than three runs, you know, as this offense, and 0:10:40.840 --> 0:10:43.200 so he did a great job grinding through it, and uh, 0:10:43.400 --> 0:10:44.679 you know, fortunately got the win. 0:10:44.880 --> 0:10:46.440 You guys were able to support him with that in 0:10:46.480 --> 0:10:46.760 the end. 0:10:46.960 --> 0:10:49.160 Mookie, congratulations on this win tonight and the win on 0:10:49.240 --> 0:10:49.800 the series. 0:10:49.920 --> 0:10:50.240 Thank you. 0:10:51.040 --> 0:10:52.520 All right, there's Karris to watch it with. 0:10:52.559 --> 0:10:54.760 Mookie Betts after his go ahead single of the eighth 0:10:54.800 --> 0:10:56.880 inning gave the Dodgers a four to three win and 0:10:56.960 --> 0:11:00.679 his series win against the Rockies.

That means he is not 0:12:24.920 --> 0:12:28.360 going to Philadelphia and will not play in the Midsummer Classic. 0:12:28.360 --> 0:12:30.959 But again he will designate be the designated hitter for 0:12:31.000 --> 0:12:32.680 the Dodgers at least tonight and tomorrow. 0:12:32.720 --> 0:12:33.800 We'll see about Sunday. 0:12:34.120 --> 0:12:36.439 Will Smith's still on the IL at the neckle inflammation 0:12:36.559 --> 0:12:38.439 and Blake trying it on the IL at the right 0:12:38.480 --> 0:12:42.280 elbow inflammation.

Can you just describe Dave? Can 0:13:18.720 --> 0:13:20.959 you talk about the pressure in. 0:13:21.000 --> 0:13:22.760 The dugouts with Dave. 0:13:22.600 --> 0:13:26.240 Roberts what took place for those time When did you 0:13:26.360 --> 0:13:27.760 know that you want to be able to make the 0:13:27.920 --> 0:13:28.680 start tonight? 0:13:29.960 --> 0:13:35.360 I found out yesterday morning. 0:13:37.679 --> 0:13:43.960 Kind of talking through with our guys show. Hey, you know, 0:13:44.040 --> 0:13:47.920 he's been managing this quite well, the knee, and so 0:13:48.280 --> 0:13:51.120 if if there's a chance that we could kind of 0:13:52.160 --> 0:13:55.560 be proactive and get it drained and do whatever we 0:13:55.600 --> 0:13:58.720 need to do to kind of try to manage it, 0:13:59.000 --> 0:14:01.720 and along with the rest for the All Star Break, 0:14:02.960 --> 0:14:06.920 we were going to do that, and so to not 0:14:07.080 --> 0:14:11.160 put any more stress on it tonight, you know, throwing 0:14:11.200 --> 0:14:14.079 a hundred pitches to our pitching is in a good 0:14:14.080 --> 0:14:17.080 spot coming off and off day. We've got the four 0:14:17.200 --> 0:14:21.000 days for the break, so everything lined up, which made 0:14:21.040 --> 0:14:21.960 sense for all of us. 0:14:22.200 --> 0:14:24.320 What does this mean for the second half when you 0:14:24.600 --> 0:14:27.120 pitching it. Does it allow him. 0:14:27.000 --> 0:14:29.960 To possibly even be available for the first series of 0:14:30.000 --> 0:14:32.240 New York don't know. 0:14:32.600 --> 0:14:35.160 I don't. It's not going to change anything for the 0:14:35.200 --> 0:14:35.680 second half. 0:14:35.720 --> 0:14:38.840 As far as pitching, I'm not sure where he's going 0:14:38.880 --> 0:14:43.400 to be slotted in after the break. So that's something 0:14:43.440 --> 0:14:45.080 that we're going to talk through. We have plenty of 0:14:45.120 --> 0:14:49.280 time to talk through that. But you know that's more 0:14:49.800 --> 0:14:52.800 opponent driven and kind of all that stuff looking out 0:14:52.960 --> 0:14:53.640 what makes sense. 0:14:53.680 --> 0:14:54.960 So I can't answer that right now. 0:14:55.000 --> 0:14:57.040 But as far as like overarching, I don't think it 0:14:57.040 --> 0:14:58.280 affects the second half pitching. 0:14:58.440 --> 0:15:01.480 We're getting the knee drain, having continue. 0:15:01.120 --> 0:15:04.080 To swell up on him a little bit a little bit, 0:15:04.120 --> 0:15:06.400 but obviously the way he's swinging the bat has a 0:15:06.480 --> 0:15:11.880 really affected performance. We have certainly kurtailed the stealing bases, 0:15:12.400 --> 0:15:15.440 but he feels good obviously, and he's going to be 0:15:15.520 --> 0:15:16.880 dhing the next three games. 0:15:17.480 --> 0:15:18.440 Sort of new incidents. 0:15:19.880 --> 0:15:22.240 It will be more no this is just more of 0:15:22.400 --> 0:15:23.520 like there wasn't. 0:15:23.840 --> 0:15:26.560 It was just more of, Okay, if we have a 0:15:26.600 --> 0:15:34.520 potential opportunity to you know, nip this, let's do it 0:15:34.560 --> 0:15:36.680 and let's not try to add to it. So that's 0:15:36.720 --> 0:15:39.720 why how we came out of Wednesday's game with the pitching. 0:15:39.720 --> 0:15:42.920 We have enough pitching to cover and not take more 0:15:42.960 --> 0:15:45.360 of a toll going into the All Star break was 0:15:45.400 --> 0:15:48.800 sort of the thought the conversation, and it just made 0:15:48.880 --> 0:15:49.840 sense to everyone. 0:15:50.360 --> 0:15:51.320 All Right, there's a manager. 0:15:51.400 --> 0:15:53.560 Dave Roberts kind of been telling us more that we 0:15:53.920 --> 0:15:56.120 find out about show his left knee gonna have a 0:15:56.200 --> 0:15:58.880 drain on Sunday. Sounds like after the game and after 0:15:58.920 --> 0:16:01.440 the final game of this series against the Diamondbacks. 0:16:01.480 --> 0:16:02.520 So that is good news and. 0:16:02.520 --> 0:16:04.320 We'll see how it affects him making his next start 0:16:04.360 --> 0:16:06.760 after the All Star Break. Well, we continue here. I'm 0:16:06.800 --> 0:16:09.280 Wrongo Casino Dodgers on deck. We'll check in with David 0:16:09.320 --> 0:16:13.240 Vassa leads up to first pitch Dodgers and Diamondbacks of 0:16:13.360 --> 0:16:15.120 Tim Kates' is the back to back World Series Champion 0:16:15.200 --> 0:16:16.360 Dodgers Audio Network. 0:16:22.760 --> 0:16:27.960 As we were saying, this is Marongo Casino Dodgers on Deck, 0:16:28.280 --> 0:16:31.560 on the official home of La Dodgers Baseball. 0:16:35.240 --> 0:16:38.080 He's the Dodgers and Diamondbacks on this Friday night, Dodgers 0:16:38.080 --> 0:16:40.600 going with a bullpen game and Warno rod Riguez on 0:16:40.680 --> 0:16:42.880 the mound for the Snakes first pitch coming up at 0:16:42.920 --> 0:16:44.920 seven to ten. Dodgers Baseball brought to you by Al Poto, 0:16:45.200 --> 0:16:47.800 born in La and made for your game day. L 0:16:47.840 --> 0:16:51.600 Poto brings authentic Mexican style tomato, sauces, sauces and hot 0:16:51.640 --> 0:16:56.000 sauces right to your plate every single time. El Poto Gourmet. 0:16:55.880 --> 0:16:56.760 And McKim. 0:16:58.480 --> 0:17:00.920 Joining Tim Kates on deck. 0:17:01.040 --> 0:17:02.800 I accept everybody for who they are. 0:17:02.880 --> 0:17:06.160 This is Dodger insider David Bassi. 0:17:07.320 --> 0:17:11.080 All right, DV the big story showy Otani not getting 0:17:11.160 --> 0:17:13.600 the start tonight on the mound, but is in the 0:17:13.640 --> 0:17:16.960 lineup as a designated hit Explain what's going on here? 0:17:17.640 --> 0:17:20.600 Yeah, Dave Roberts went through the timeline. You heard it 0:17:20.640 --> 0:17:23.800 earlier today. He found out yesterday o'tanni would not be 0:17:23.880 --> 0:17:26.280 able to make the start. And look, this is something 0:17:26.320 --> 0:17:29.560 that Dodgers had been pretty transparent about that they're going 0:17:29.600 --> 0:17:32.280 to have to manage the left knee of sho Heyotani. 0:17:32.720 --> 0:17:35.399 The rest of the season. Dave Roberts was pretty candid 0:17:35.440 --> 0:17:37.920 when he said, I would say a month ago that 0:17:38.480 --> 0:17:40.879 it's not behind him and they are going to have 0:17:41.000 --> 0:17:44.320 to manage it moving forward. They managed it before his 0:17:44.560 --> 0:17:46.960 last start where they pushed him back a couple of days, 0:17:46.960 --> 0:17:50.560 and now this it makes a lot of sense. This 0:17:50.680 --> 0:17:54.200 left knee has been problematic for Otani. It's his land leg, 0:17:54.640 --> 0:17:57.600 and I thought it also is very transparent that Dave 0:17:57.680 --> 0:18:00.760 Roberts said that O'tani is going to have his left 0:18:00.840 --> 0:18:04.920 knee drained on Sunday, which probably means he's not even 0:18:04.960 --> 0:18:07.320 going to be in the starting lineup. He's missing the 0:18:07.400 --> 0:18:10.879 All Star Game, and he's pretty confident that he'll be 0:18:10.920 --> 0:18:13.920 able to pitch some point on the next road trip 0:18:14.000 --> 0:18:18.160 that goes from the Bronx to Philadelphia to Queens, New York. 0:18:19.840 --> 0:18:22.200 David has brought to you by a Ford Summer sales event. 0:18:22.280 --> 0:18:25.400 Now don't wait a hurry in for their best offers 0:18:25.440 --> 0:18:28.640 of the year for the official vehicle of Major League Baseball. 0:18:28.640 --> 0:18:31.280 All right, David Key k Hernandez a name we haven't 0:18:31.280 --> 0:18:33.360 heard of in a long time because of the injury. 0:18:33.359 --> 0:18:36.000 But he's progressing pretty good, isn't he. 0:18:36.000 --> 0:18:39.360 He really is. I mean, he has taken off on 0:18:39.400 --> 0:18:42.680 this homestand when we first saw him the first day here, 0:18:42.720 --> 0:18:45.560 he took batting practice outside for the first time, and 0:18:45.680 --> 0:18:50.080
