<v Speaker 1>Immortality. is within their reach.

0:00:08.930 --> 0:00:10.050
<v Speaker 3>Incredible.

0:00:10.289 --> 0:00:11.969
<v Speaker 1>And while others make excuses.

0:00:12.289 --> 0:00:14.270
<v Speaker 2>The only reason the Dodgers are doing this is because

0:00:14.290 --> 0:00:14.630
<v Speaker 2>they can.

0:00:14.650 --> 0:00:17.250
<v Speaker 1>They print money. The Dodgers. This can't continue.

0:00:17.290 --> 0:00:18.150
<v Speaker 4>It's not fair.

0:00:18.329 --> 0:00:19.430
<v Speaker 1>Are making plans.

0:00:19.829 --> 0:00:20.290
<v Speaker 5>Again.

0:00:20.350 --> 0:00:25.189

<v Speaker 1>Now your pregame host of the world champion L.A. Dodgers,

0:00:29.570 --> 0:00:30.310

<v Speaker 2>weekend set against the Marlins. Dodgers 90-57 on this season.

0:00:50.490 --> 0:00:53.750
<v Speaker 2>First place atop the NL West. Dodgers a game and

0:00:53.790 --> 0:00:55.670
<v Speaker 2>a half back of Milwaukee for the best spot in

0:00:55.710 --> 0:00:57.890
<v Speaker 2>the National League. Three and a half games up. On

0:00:57.930 --> 0:01:00.350
<v Speaker 2>the Atlanta Braves for the two spot, which would get

0:01:00.400 --> 0:01:04.120
<v Speaker 2>them a wild card bye when the playoffs begins. Dodgers

0:01:04.140 --> 0:01:06.320
<v Speaker 2>sending out Tyler Glass now to the mound in this

0:01:06.560 --> 0:01:09.360
<v Speaker 2>game two of a three-game set. First pitch coming up

0:01:09.500 --> 0:01:12.130
<v Speaker 2>at 110. Between then and now, we got a lot

0:01:12.170 --> 0:01:15.230
<v Speaker 2>to get to here. on Morongo Casino. Dodgers on deck.

0:01:15.250 --> 0:01:16.950
<v Speaker 2>We're going to hear from the manager, Dave Roberts. Get

0:01:16.990 --> 0:01:19.510
<v Speaker 2>his pregame thoughts on this Dodgers team that has won

0:01:19.630 --> 0:01:22.050
<v Speaker 2>eight in a row. That's coming up in about 20 minutes.

0:01:22.330 --> 0:01:25.270
<v Speaker 2>We'll preview this pitching matchup. David Vasse goes high and

0:01:25.310 --> 0:01:28.810
<v Speaker 2>tight with Jack Dreyer, Dodger reliever. We'll check in with DB,

0:01:28.850 --> 0:01:30.970
<v Speaker 2>of course, throughout the hour. We'll hear from Charlie Steiner.

0:01:31.290 --> 0:01:34.250
<v Speaker 2>We got your Dodgers magical moment because the last time

0:01:34.290 --> 0:01:36.590
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers were in Miami, Well, a couple years ago,

0:01:36.670 --> 0:01:40.339
<v Speaker 2>it was something special for Shohei Ohtani. Shortly, we'll visit

0:01:40.380 --> 0:01:44.000
<v Speaker 2>with Kirsten Watson live on the field in South Florida.

0:01:44.020 --> 0:01:45.740
<v Speaker 2>In just a few minutes, we'll head out to Tim

0:01:45.780 --> 0:01:48.960
<v Speaker 2>Nevard and Rick Monday at the Galpin Ford Broadcast booth. Well,

0:01:48.980 --> 0:01:52.360
<v Speaker 2>last night in Miami, King Tuck had himself a night,

0:01:52.410 --> 0:01:55.410
<v Speaker 2>including a big blast as the Dodgers won their eighth

0:01:55.470 --> 0:01:58.490
<v Speaker 2>in a row. Blake Snell got the start. His sixth

0:01:58.530 --> 0:02:01.070
<v Speaker 2>is coming back from the injured list. Snell with another

0:02:01.170 --> 0:02:04.010
<v Speaker 2>really good outing, pitching into the sixth inning. Meanwhile, the

0:02:04.050 --> 0:02:06.400
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers offense gave him a lead to work with in

0:02:06.420 --> 0:02:10.500
<v Speaker 2>the third. Kyle Tucker, sack fly. That scored Tommy Edmond,

0:02:10.520 --> 0:02:13.840
<v Speaker 2>and the Dodgers grabbed a 1-0 lead. Then in the sixth,

0:02:13.919 --> 0:02:17.750
<v Speaker 2>Kyle Tucker, the spark yet again. A one-out triple bringing

0:02:17.910 --> 0:02:18.950
<v Speaker 2>up Will Smith.

0:02:19.870 --> 0:02:21.450
<v Speaker 4>The ball's one strike to Will.

0:02:21.470 --> 0:02:24.120
<v Speaker 7>1-0 Dodgers in the sixth.

0:02:25.410 --> 0:02:25.710
<v Speaker 4>Pitch.

0:02:25.750 --> 0:02:27.750
<v Speaker 7>Swung on. That's looped into right field. That's going to

0:02:27.810 --> 0:02:30.000
<v Speaker 7>get down for a hit. Tucker will come in to score.

0:02:30.639 --> 0:02:32.790
<v Speaker 7>Will Smith drives in the second.

0:02:32.510 --> 0:02:33.160
<v Speaker 1>Run, and it's 2-0.

0:02:34.630 --> 0:02:38.040
<v Speaker 2>RBI single for Will. Dodgers 2-0 lead. The bottom of

0:02:38.080 --> 0:02:40.460
<v Speaker 2>the inning, Blake Snell retired the first two batters, but

0:02:40.480 --> 0:02:42.960
<v Speaker 2>then gave up a two-out single. That was it. Evan

0:02:43.000 --> 0:02:45.320
<v Speaker 2>Phillips came in. He would give up an RBI double.

0:02:45.380 --> 0:02:48.240
<v Speaker 2>Marlins on the board, but the Dodgers with a 2-1 lead.

0:02:48.280 --> 0:02:51.270
<v Speaker 2>That run credited to Blake Snell. So officially 5-2, third

0:02:51.290 --> 0:02:54.870
<v Speaker 2>innings for Snellzilla. One run, four hits, eight strikeouts. The

0:02:54.910 --> 0:02:58.730
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers offense wasted no time getting that run back and

0:02:58.810 --> 0:03:02.160
<v Speaker 2>more in the 7th. A little two-out magic. Tommy Edmond walked.

0:03:02.240 --> 0:03:05.100
<v Speaker 2>Max Muncy an infield single. Mookie Betts then drew a

0:03:05.139 --> 0:03:08.040
<v Speaker 2>walk to load the bases after a pitching change to

0:03:08.080 --> 0:03:11.740
<v Speaker 2>bring in a lefty in Cade Gibson to face Kyle Tucker.

0:03:12.620 --> 0:03:17.930
<v Speaker 7>Edmond at third. Muncy at second. Betts at first. And

0:03:18.090 --> 0:03:20.410
<v Speaker 7>a 1-1 pitch. Swung on.

0:03:20.450 --> 0:03:21.410
<v Speaker 2>Belted to right and deep.

0:03:21.730 --> 0:03:24.470
<v Speaker 1>This ball heading back. This ball's gone.

0:03:24.690 --> 0:03:27.429
<v Speaker 7>A grand slam for Kyle Tucker.

0:03:28.710 --> 0:03:29.690
<v Speaker 1>Do you believe it?

0:03:30.960 --> 0:03:37.400
<v Speaker 7>Kyle Tucker, a grand slam, and the Dodgers lead it 6-1.

0:03:37.460 --> 0:03:43.170
<v Speaker 7>Home run number 14 on the season for Tucker.

0:03:45.650 --> 0:03:47.330
<v Speaker 5>You don't want to mess with a guy that has

0:03:47.410 --> 0:03:51.700
<v Speaker 5>a career batting average with bases loaded of. 398, and

0:03:51.780 --> 0:03:55.020
<v Speaker 5>Tucker delivers his sixth career grand slam.

0:03:56.090 --> 0:04:00.400
<v Speaker 2>Grand slam for King Tuck. Dodgers a 6-1 lead. What

0:04:00.420 --> 0:04:02.880
<v Speaker 2>a night for Kyle Tucker. It's not been a great season,

0:04:02.900 --> 0:04:05.240
<v Speaker 2>but last night, a grand slam, a single, a triple,

0:04:05.260 --> 0:04:07.490
<v Speaker 2>a sack fly. He was a double shy of the

0:04:07.550 --> 0:04:10.590
<v Speaker 2>cycle while driving in five runs for the Dodgers. Brock

0:04:10.610 --> 0:04:12.650
<v Speaker 2>Stewart got the seventh, put up a zero. Blake Trinan

0:04:12.670 --> 0:04:15.260
<v Speaker 2>got the eighth. Give up a run. Dodgers a 6-2

0:04:15.300 --> 0:04:17.540
<v Speaker 2>lead in the ninth. Edgardo Enriquez comes in, puts up

0:04:17.580 --> 0:04:20.159
<v Speaker 2>a zero. Ball game over. Dodgers win their eighth in

0:04:20.200 --> 0:04:23.580
<v Speaker 2>a row last night. A 6-2 victory over Miami. Blake

0:04:23.600 --> 0:04:27.760
<v Speaker 2>Snell gets the win. Dodgers now 90-57 on the season.

0:04:28.160 --> 0:04:30.339
<v Speaker 2>And this afternoon, they look to keep the winning going.

0:04:30.360 --> 0:04:32.760
<v Speaker 2>Could it be nine in a row for the Blue Crew?

0:04:32.800 --> 0:04:35.960
<v Speaker 2>Tyler Glass now on the mound. First pitch from South

0:04:35.980 --> 0:04:38.500
<v Speaker 2>Florida coming up at 110. And with more, let's head

0:04:38.560 --> 0:04:41.039
<v Speaker 2>out to the Galpin Ford broadcast booth as we say

0:04:41.080 --> 0:04:44.190
<v Speaker 2>good afternoon. To Tim Neverett and Rick Monday.

0:04:44.250 --> 0:04:44.630
<v Speaker 3>Guys.

0:04:45.250 --> 0:04:48.850
<v Speaker 7>Tim, thank you very much. A hot, humid day in Miami.

0:04:48.890 --> 0:04:49.850
<v Speaker 2>Roof is closed.

0:04:49.890 --> 0:04:54.150
<v Speaker 7>Very comfortable inside Lone Depot Park. As the Dodgers and

0:04:54.270 --> 0:04:57.670
<v Speaker 7>Marlins get set for game two of this three-game series.

0:04:57.710 --> 0:05:00.580
<v Speaker 7>The Dodgers have won 12 of the last 16 against

0:05:00.620 --> 0:05:03.560
<v Speaker 7>the Marlins. And have won a season best eight in

0:05:03.580 --> 0:05:06.920
<v Speaker 7>a row, playing 50 runs. in that period of time.

0:05:07.440 --> 0:05:09.620
<v Speaker 7>Things are getting down to it now as we get

0:05:09.660 --> 0:05:11.640
<v Speaker 7>closer to the end of the regular season. The Dodgers

0:05:11.660 --> 0:05:14.950
<v Speaker 7>with a record of 90-57. They're 11 games up in

0:05:14.990 --> 0:05:19.210
<v Speaker 7>the West. Their magic number to clinch the West is four.

0:05:19.710 --> 0:05:22.830
<v Speaker 7>They can clinch a postseason berth as early as today.

0:05:22.870 --> 0:05:25.380
<v Speaker 7>The magic number for that is two. So with a

0:05:25.440 --> 0:05:29.720
<v Speaker 7>win today and losses by San Diego and Arizona, the

0:05:29.760 --> 0:05:34.440
<v Speaker 7>Dodgers would clinch a postseason berth. So magic numbers.

0:05:34.970 --> 0:05:35.830
<v Speaker 4>We've got records.

0:05:35.910 --> 0:05:38.369
<v Speaker 7>We've got all kinds of things happening in terms of numbers,

0:05:38.730 --> 0:05:42.630
<v Speaker 7>including the first grand slam from Kyle Tucker as a Dodger.

0:05:42.950 --> 0:05:45.180
<v Speaker 7>The sixth of his career came in the seventh inning

0:05:45.220 --> 0:05:47.300
<v Speaker 7>last night with two outs, and it couldn't have come

0:05:47.320 --> 0:05:49.680
<v Speaker 7>at a better time. And Kyle Tucker seems to be

0:05:49.720 --> 0:05:50.480
<v Speaker 7>turning things around.

0:05:50.600 --> 0:05:52.620
<v Speaker 5>Well, he's turning things around, and now we're getting a

0:05:52.660 --> 0:05:55.140
<v Speaker 5>report that he's been working with the hitting coaches and

0:05:55.320 --> 0:05:59.460
<v Speaker 5>altering the swing. I've been talking really since spring training.

0:06:00.190 --> 0:06:02.510
<v Speaker 5>Kyle Tucker's swing is one that is a little bit

0:06:02.610 --> 0:06:05.690
<v Speaker 5>different than others, and he surrounds the ball. If you

0:06:05.710 --> 0:06:09.309
<v Speaker 5>can imagine, almost creating a circle behind the ball, coming

0:06:09.390 --> 0:06:12.589
<v Speaker 5>out beyond and behind the plate, and then trying to,

0:06:12.820 --> 0:06:15.100
<v Speaker 5>it's like a sweep around. Well, now it's a little

0:06:15.120 --> 0:06:17.980
<v Speaker 5>bit more level into the baseball. Hopefully that's going to

0:06:18.000 --> 0:06:21.359
<v Speaker 5>be the case now as he gets hot and goes on.

0:06:21.620 --> 0:06:24.040
<v Speaker 5>He's been hot. I mean, remarkable. We mentioned last night

0:06:24.100 --> 0:06:29.090
<v Speaker 5>the career for Kyle Tucker with bases loaded, Now is 4-0-5.

0:06:29.150 --> 0:06:31.010
<v Speaker 5>Those numbers are really off the charts.

0:06:31.370 --> 0:06:33.510
<v Speaker 7>Hopefully he comes up with the bases loaded again today.

0:06:33.570 --> 0:06:35.960
<v Speaker 7>We'll see some more of that. We will see Freddie

0:06:36.060 --> 0:06:38.980
<v Speaker 7>Freeman in the lineup. Today happens to be Freddie's 37th birthday.

0:06:40.760 --> 0:06:42.630
<v Speaker 7>He's missed the last couple of games, but he is

0:06:42.810 --> 0:06:45.610
<v Speaker 7>in the lineup today. Dave Roberts talking about him just

0:06:45.630 --> 0:06:47.810
<v Speaker 7>a little while ago saying, you know, they just have

0:06:47.850 --> 0:06:49.990
<v Speaker 7>to manage him. He does have a sore right knee,

0:06:50.050 --> 0:06:52.250
<v Speaker 7>but they have to manage him down the stretch. But today,

0:06:52.470 --> 0:06:53.210
<v Speaker 7>he's set to play.

0:06:53.230 --> 0:06:55.570
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, we did not see him very much on the

0:06:55.630 --> 0:06:57.750
<v Speaker 5>bench last night because I think he was getting treatment

0:06:57.770 --> 0:07:00.240
<v Speaker 5>during the entire ballgame. Then you and I saw Freddie

0:07:00.279 --> 0:07:02.540
<v Speaker 5>walking out to get on the buses, go back to

0:07:02.560 --> 0:07:05.440
<v Speaker 5>the hotel. He's walking somewhat gingerly, at least last night.

0:07:05.880 --> 0:07:07.820
<v Speaker 5>The good thing is, at first base, you don't have

0:07:07.860 --> 0:07:10.000
<v Speaker 5>to run 100 yards to go get the baseball, but

0:07:10.390 --> 0:07:13.810
<v Speaker 5>Still for Freeman, it has been an issue with that knee. Now,

0:07:13.890 --> 0:07:15.770
<v Speaker 5>how much is bothering the swing and how much is

0:07:15.810 --> 0:07:17.850
<v Speaker 5>having to alter it? We'll find out because he's just

0:07:17.910 --> 0:07:21.490
<v Speaker 5>three hits in his last 22 at-bats that he's had,

0:07:21.970 --> 0:07:24.570
<v Speaker 5>and hopefully he's getting better and better because obviously they're

0:07:24.590 --> 0:07:26.180
<v Speaker 5>going to need his bat and defense.

0:07:26.970 --> 0:07:30.290
<v Speaker 7>Dodgers top prospect Josue DePaula made his Major League debut

0:07:30.330 --> 0:07:32.170
<v Speaker 7>last night. He didn't have a hit. He worked a walk.

0:07:32.710 --> 0:07:35.150
<v Speaker 7>But the Dodger folks were very impressed with his command

0:07:35.190 --> 0:07:39.060
<v Speaker 7>of the strike zone, not swinging at pitches outside the zone,

0:07:39.080 --> 0:07:42.420
<v Speaker 7>but really being very disciplined at the plate. Today, he's

0:07:42.480 --> 0:07:44.880
<v Speaker 7>back in the lineup as the designated hitter. Today, he

0:07:44.920 --> 0:07:47.220
<v Speaker 7>has even more family and friends. He doesn't even know

0:07:47.240 --> 0:07:49.940
<v Speaker 7>the number who will be here in Miami today as

0:07:49.960 --> 0:07:51.380
<v Speaker 7>he looks for his first Major League hit.

0:07:51.660 --> 0:07:53.480
<v Speaker 5>And I think that if we look at what he

0:07:53.520 --> 0:07:56.860
<v Speaker 5>has done this year, he has swung, as you mentioned,

0:07:57.290 --> 0:08:00.250
<v Speaker 5>Fewer pitches out of the strike zone. He's also had

0:08:00.350 --> 0:08:04.310
<v Speaker 5>a lower percentage of swings and miss. And he's a

0:08:04.370 --> 0:08:07.870
<v Speaker 5>young man. It's going to be watching very closely what

0:08:07.930 --> 0:08:10.410
<v Speaker 5>he does. I hope we see him run. He can

0:08:10.450 --> 0:08:13.250
<v Speaker 5>gobble up some territory doing that end of it. You know,

0:08:13.270 --> 0:08:14.950
<v Speaker 5>he's a big guy. A lot of people don't realize,

0:08:14.970 --> 0:08:17.870
<v Speaker 5>you know, he's like 6'3, 6'4, and 185 pounds.

0:08:18.390 --> 0:08:21.870
<v Speaker 7>So Josue DiPaolo will bat 7th and DH again this afternoon.

0:10:24.450 --> 0:10:29.110
<v Speaker 2>cars with a K. All hail the king, King Tuck,

0:10:29.490 --> 0:10:32.930
<v Speaker 2>Kyle Tucker. Kirsten, he's starting to turn it around just

0:10:32.990 --> 0:10:34.210
<v Speaker 2>at the right time.

0:10:35.290 --> 0:10:37.530
<v Speaker 8>He really is. And when you get to see a

0:10:37.570 --> 0:10:40.110
<v Speaker 8>guy like Kyle and look, it's no secret this year

0:10:40.490 --> 0:10:43.250
<v Speaker 8>has been far from idea. And even we've talked about how,

0:10:43.570 --> 0:10:46.290
<v Speaker 8>you know, last year, Mookie Betts struggled and didn't have

0:10:46.320 --> 0:10:48.500
<v Speaker 8>the best numbers in the regular season. Of course, started

0:10:48.540 --> 0:10:50.579
<v Speaker 8>the year being sick and just kind of took some

0:10:50.620 --> 0:10:54.459
<v Speaker 8>time to get back on track, but was able come September,

0:10:54.580 --> 0:10:57.439
<v Speaker 8>October to be back to where he wanted to be.

0:10:57.500 --> 0:11:00.360
<v Speaker 8>And sometimes it's just about, you know, putting yourself in

0:11:00.380 --> 0:11:02.780
<v Speaker 8>the best position for the right time. And so, um,

0:11:03.020 --> 0:11:04.319
<v Speaker 8>You can look at the season, you can put it

0:11:04.340 --> 0:11:06.440
<v Speaker 8>as a thing of the past, but ultimately he even

0:11:06.480 --> 0:11:09.400
<v Speaker 8>said last night for Kyle that, you know, something has

0:11:09.440 --> 0:11:11.820
<v Speaker 8>kind of just clicked for him and focus on his

0:11:11.860 --> 0:11:14.040
<v Speaker 8>bat path and making sure that he's trying to get

0:11:14.080 --> 0:11:16.350
<v Speaker 8>ahead in the count. And all of the things that,

0:11:16.710 --> 0:11:19.070
<v Speaker 8>you know, it's not that it's just, he's just started

0:11:19.110 --> 0:11:21.770
<v Speaker 8>working on it, things he's been doing all year. It's

0:11:21.809 --> 0:11:25.740
<v Speaker 8>just now. something is finally clicking for him. So, you know,

0:11:25.920 --> 0:11:27.880
<v Speaker 8>when you can have a grand slam, you can have

0:11:28.000 --> 0:11:31.990
<v Speaker 8>back-to-back multi-hit games and, you know, really you see the

0:11:32.030 --> 0:11:34.950
<v Speaker 8>slug when you can do that. It also allows for

0:11:34.990 --> 0:11:38.670
<v Speaker 8>just like some more excitement and smiles. And just, it's

0:11:38.710 --> 0:11:40.850
<v Speaker 8>been nice to hear how all of his teammates, not

0:11:40.929 --> 0:11:43.830
<v Speaker 8>only have they been like super supportive of him, but

0:11:44.230 --> 0:11:48.030
<v Speaker 8>they've also been, For them, it's cool for them to

0:11:48.070 --> 0:11:50.770
<v Speaker 8>see him coming out of his shell and just really

0:11:50.890 --> 0:11:56.110
<v Speaker 8>enjoying the moment and being excited and stuff. So it's

0:11:56.190 --> 0:11:58.390
<v Speaker 8>fun for obviously the fans and all of us to see,

0:11:58.410 --> 0:12:00.570
<v Speaker 8>but even listening to his teammates and how they talk

0:12:00.610 --> 0:12:02.489
<v Speaker 8>about these moments for him is really special as well.

0:12:03.000 --> 0:12:05.400
<v Speaker 2>Kirsten, this Dodgers team has been going with a six-man

0:12:05.440 --> 0:12:08.250
<v Speaker 2>rotation for most of the season because of injuries. Guys

0:12:08.260 --> 0:12:10.750
<v Speaker 2>have been in and out of this rotation. What's this

0:12:10.830 --> 0:12:13.699
<v Speaker 2>rotation look like the rest of this series and this

0:12:13.740 --> 0:12:15.599
<v Speaker 2>four-game series coming up in Cincinnati?

0:12:16.890 --> 0:12:19.790
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, so it's essentially kind of like going back to

0:12:19.860 --> 0:12:23.199
<v Speaker 8>a five, well, five slash a six-man rotation because you're

0:12:23.220 --> 0:12:25.600
<v Speaker 8>still waiting for someone like Roki Suzuki is working his

0:12:25.660 --> 0:12:28.060
<v Speaker 8>way back. So we know that he played catch yesterday.

0:12:28.080 --> 0:12:30.560
<v Speaker 8>The blisters seem to be healing and in a pretty

0:12:30.600 --> 0:12:33.199
<v Speaker 8>good spot. But it sounds like a bullpen for him

0:12:33.260 --> 0:12:35.230
<v Speaker 8>is going to be coming up in the next few days.

0:12:35.290 --> 0:12:37.670
<v Speaker 8>And there's a chance we could see him pitch. on

0:12:37.710 --> 0:12:39.870
<v Speaker 8>this road trip, but not till the back end of

0:12:39.929 --> 0:12:43.380
<v Speaker 8>this road trip. So potentially that last day in Cincinnati.

0:12:43.740 --> 0:12:46.140
<v Speaker 8>So that means tomorrow, I know that Dave Robert yesterday

0:12:46.200 --> 0:12:50.930
<v Speaker 8>had mentioned potentially Rogi, but tomorrow actually is more likely

0:12:51.030 --> 0:12:54.469
<v Speaker 8>to be Emmett Sheehan, but they might go with an

0:12:54.590 --> 0:12:56.949
<v Speaker 8>opener or come up with just kind of a piggyback

0:12:56.990 --> 0:12:59.750
<v Speaker 8>plan if need be. So Emmett's going to take down

0:12:59.809 --> 0:13:01.410
<v Speaker 8>the bulk of it, but they'll see if we go

0:13:01.429 --> 0:13:03.939
<v Speaker 8>with an opener or if we see a couple of

0:13:03.960 --> 0:13:07.200
<v Speaker 8>relievers before Emmett comes in. Also help preparing him for

0:13:07.220 --> 0:13:10.220
<v Speaker 8>a potential role come October. And then once you get

0:13:10.260 --> 0:13:14.180
<v Speaker 8>to Cincy, it's kind of the usual Tarek Scouble and

0:13:14.220 --> 0:13:17.750
<v Speaker 8>then Yamamoto and then Blake Snell. So a few guys

0:13:17.790 --> 0:13:20.830
<v Speaker 8>dropping in here and there, but right now it's kind

0:13:20.850 --> 0:13:23.069
<v Speaker 8>of keeping guys in a good spot to repair for October.

0:13:23.570 --> 0:13:25.530
<v Speaker 2>The depth of this team is scary. How much depth

0:13:25.550 --> 0:13:27.760
<v Speaker 2>they got in the rotation and the bullpen and certainly

0:13:28.110 --> 0:13:30.290
<v Speaker 2>with this lineup of guys being called up and down

0:13:30.370 --> 0:13:32.760
<v Speaker 2>and doing their jobs. Kirsten, we appreciate it. We will

0:13:32.780 --> 0:13:34.200
<v Speaker 2>check in with you after the game. Coming up here

0:13:34.220 --> 0:13:36.280
<v Speaker 2>on Morocco, Casino Dodgers on deck. We'll dive deeper into

0:13:36.320 --> 0:13:39.000
<v Speaker 2>this pitching matchup. David Vasse goes high and tight with

0:13:39.040 --> 0:13:41.880
<v Speaker 2>the closer Jack Dreyer. But up next, we'll get you

0:13:41.920 --> 0:13:44.540
<v Speaker 2>an injury report. And we'll hear from the manager, Dave Roberts.

0:13:44.880 --> 0:13:46.660
<v Speaker 2>That's all coming up as we lead you up to

0:13:46.700 --> 0:13:49.370
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers and Marlins. I'm Tim Cates, and this is the

0:13:49.400 --> 0:13:52.150
<v Speaker 2>back-to-back World Series champion Dodgers Audio Network.

0:13:54.550 --> 0:14:00.630

<v Speaker 1>for the blue all season long.

0:14:03.780 --> 0:14:07.679
<v Speaker 2>Morongo Casino Dodgers on deck continues on this Saturday afternoon

0:14:07.760 --> 0:14:09.819
<v Speaker 2>as we lead you up to first pitch from Miami.

0:14:09.860 --> 0:14:13.579
<v Speaker 2>It's the Dodgers and the Marlins. Morongo Casino Resort and Spa,

0:14:13.600 --> 0:14:17.880
<v Speaker 2>a grand slam for good times. Tyler Glass now, Tyler Phillips,

0:14:17.920 --> 0:14:20.620
<v Speaker 2>the pitching matchup. First pitch coming up at 110. This

0:14:21.120 --> 0:14:22.960
<v Speaker 2>is the L.A.

0:14:23.040 --> 0:14:25.750
<v Speaker 1>Dodgers. Injury report.

0:14:25.830 --> 0:14:28.630
<v Speaker 2>Shohei Otani on the injured list with the bicep inflammation.

0:14:28.690 --> 0:14:31.010
<v Speaker 2>He is getting much needed rest. Good news is Freddie

0:14:31.050 --> 0:14:33.380
<v Speaker 2>Freeman is back in the lineup after missing a couple

0:14:33.420 --> 0:14:34.920
<v Speaker 2>of games with a sore right knee. More on that

0:14:34.940 --> 0:14:37.340
<v Speaker 2>with David Basset coming up. Dalton Russian on the I.L.

0:14:37.640 --> 0:14:41.000
<v Speaker 2>Eric Lauer moved to the 60-day I.L. with the elbow inflammation.

0:14:41.040 --> 0:14:44.580
<v Speaker 2>Roki Sasaki, as Kirsten alluded to, blister on his throwing hand,

0:14:44.600 --> 0:14:47.700
<v Speaker 2>feeling much better. He threw yesterday. Sounds like one more

0:14:47.740 --> 0:14:50.750
<v Speaker 2>bullpen session before he gets activated. And, of course, Andy

0:14:50.810 --> 0:14:53.150
<v Speaker 2>Paez on the injured list with the fractured left hand.

0:14:53.510 --> 0:14:56.080
<v Speaker 2>The injury report presented by UCLA Health, the official medical

0:14:56.130 --> 0:14:59.800
<v Speaker 2>partner of the Los Angeles Dodgers. Edwin Diaz getting closer,

0:14:59.840 --> 0:15:02.700
<v Speaker 2>looking to do back-to-back days in AAA Oklahoma City. With

0:15:02.720 --> 0:15:05.420
<v Speaker 2>the neck inflammation, he could be activated here in the

0:15:05.460 --> 0:15:07.940
<v Speaker 2>next week or so. All right, let's head back out

0:15:07.980 --> 0:15:09.880
<v Speaker 2>to Miami as we check in with the Dodger Skipper.

0:15:09.940 --> 0:15:11.060
<v Speaker 2>Anything else for Dave?

0:15:11.120 --> 0:15:11.840
<v Speaker 4>Dave, do you think?

0:15:12.360 --> 0:15:13.060
<v Speaker 2>Questions for Dave.

0:15:13.100 --> 0:15:14.960
<v Speaker 9>Dave, can you just describe?

0:15:14.980 --> 0:15:18.580
<v Speaker 1>Dave, can you talk about the pressure? In the dugout

0:15:18.680 --> 0:15:23.000
<v Speaker 1>with Dave Roberts. Brought to you by Concordia University, Irvine's

0:15:23.120 --> 0:15:25.890
<v Speaker 1>Masters in Coaching and Athletics Administration.

0:15:27.950 --> 0:15:30.090
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, I think he's in a much better spot today.

0:15:31.540 --> 0:15:33.180
<v Speaker 9>I think it's one of those things where we've got

0:15:33.220 --> 0:15:36.990
<v Speaker 9>to manage it and when I say that it's probably

0:15:37.070 --> 0:15:40.190
<v Speaker 9>just pick spots to give him an off day here

0:15:40.210 --> 0:15:43.130
<v Speaker 9>or there because again we've just got to make sure

0:15:43.150 --> 0:15:47.960
<v Speaker 9>he's at optimal kind of health when we finish the

0:15:48.000 --> 0:15:50.780
<v Speaker 9>season so I think that He might not love it,

0:15:50.890 --> 0:15:52.470
<v Speaker 9>but giving him a day off here or there might

0:15:52.510 --> 0:15:53.230
<v Speaker 9>be beneficial.

0:15:53.390 --> 0:15:56.010
<v Speaker 8>Are you hopeful that just when he does return to

0:15:56.030 --> 0:15:58.270
<v Speaker 8>the plane, where the swing is at, it's back to

0:15:58.310 --> 0:15:59.050
<v Speaker 8>form now that his.

0:15:58.950 --> 0:15:59.790
<v Speaker 3>Knee is feeling better?

0:16:00.170 --> 0:16:04.130
<v Speaker 9>I think so. I think with him, like any hitter,

0:16:04.190 --> 0:16:09.100
<v Speaker 9>where they're not healthy, certainly on the lower half, their

0:16:09.120 --> 0:16:13.260
<v Speaker 9>swing is compromised. And that last sort of three games

0:16:13.280 --> 0:16:16.900
<v Speaker 9>that we saw Freddie last just weren't atypical of him.

0:16:17.650 --> 0:16:20.090
<v Speaker 9>So hopefully if he's pain-free, then I think he'll be

0:16:20.110 --> 0:16:20.850
<v Speaker 9>in a better spot.

0:16:22.790 --> 0:16:28.050
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah.

0:16:28.290 --> 0:16:31.960
<v Speaker 9>And also with him, it's like he's dealt with kind

0:16:31.980 --> 0:16:37.480
<v Speaker 9>of the knees before, so just kind of appreciating that

0:16:38.500 --> 0:16:40.860
<v Speaker 9>he's done it. It's only going to be a few days,

0:16:40.940 --> 0:16:41.500
<v Speaker 9>and that's kind.

0:16:41.400 --> 0:16:43.700

<v Speaker 1>Joining Tim Cates on Dodgers on Deck.

0:18:06.510 --> 0:18:08.310
<v Speaker 4>I accept everybody for who they are.

0:18:08.350 --> 0:18:11.860
<v Speaker 1>This is Dodger Insider, David Bassett.

0:18:11.950 --> 0:18:15.179
<v Speaker 2>All right, DV, great to see Freddie Freeman back in

0:18:15.220 --> 0:18:16.960
<v Speaker 2>the lineup today on a special day.

0:18:18.200 --> 0:18:21.460
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I got to the ballpark earlier than usual just

0:18:21.500 --> 0:18:23.479
<v Speaker 6>so I could see whether or not he came out

0:18:23.540 --> 0:18:27.379
<v Speaker 6>to do his usual infield drills because over the course

0:18:27.400 --> 0:18:29.619
<v Speaker 6>of the last four or five days, he has not

0:18:29.810 --> 0:18:33.510
<v Speaker 6>dealing with that patellar tendonitis. That's exactly what it is,

0:18:33.570 --> 0:18:36.790
<v Speaker 6>and it's something that he told me earlier today he

0:18:36.830 --> 0:18:39.330
<v Speaker 6>dealt with a couple of years ago in spring training,

0:18:39.430 --> 0:18:42.570
<v Speaker 6>so he knows how to manage it. He's had treatment

0:18:42.609 --> 0:18:45.729
<v Speaker 6>over the course of the last few days, and Obviously,

0:18:45.780 --> 0:18:48.680
<v Speaker 6>with the turf here in Miami, the Dodgers decided it

0:18:48.740 --> 0:18:51.200
<v Speaker 6>would be a good choice to give him yesterday off.

0:18:51.280 --> 0:18:51.880
<v Speaker 4>But on his.

0:18:51.859 --> 0:18:55.980
<v Speaker 6>37th birthday, Freddie Freeman is back in the starting lineup.

0:18:56.060 --> 0:18:57.880
<v Speaker 6>And I had a chance to catch up with him

0:18:57.960 --> 0:19:01.580
<v Speaker 6>about exactly what is going on with that right knee.

0:19:02.340 --> 0:19:05.600
<v Speaker 10>Kind of wear and tear. But I feel much better today.

0:19:06.500 --> 0:19:09.580
<v Speaker 10>So I'll be in there today. And the last three days,

0:19:11.619 --> 0:19:14.040
<v Speaker 10>from Tuesday to now, light and day.

0:19:14.520 --> 0:19:16.880
<v Speaker 4>When you were DH, was that like an indication that

0:19:16.940 --> 0:19:17.580
<v Speaker 4>that's what it was?

0:19:17.600 --> 0:19:20.639
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, I was having trouble moving. I just didn't have

0:19:20.660 --> 0:19:23.580
<v Speaker 10>a front and side anymore. You know, it just aches

0:19:23.640 --> 0:19:25.570
<v Speaker 10>and pains over the course of the season. It got

0:19:25.590 --> 0:19:27.949
<v Speaker 10>to the point where it just wasn't giving me the

0:19:27.990 --> 0:19:30.290
<v Speaker 10>best opportunity to be able to play like I want to.

0:19:30.330 --> 0:19:32.250
<v Speaker 10>So we took the time to get a lot of

0:19:32.270 --> 0:19:33.770
<v Speaker 10>treatment and a lot of work done, and I feel

0:19:33.810 --> 0:19:37.250
<v Speaker 10>much better today. We think it's just patella tendonitis, and

0:19:37.290 --> 0:19:40.190
<v Speaker 10>it's way better now already. So a few days off,

0:19:40.520 --> 0:19:42.660
<v Speaker 10>long travel, turf, and that was kind of what played

0:19:42.680 --> 0:19:43.320
<v Speaker 10>into yesterday.

0:19:44.600 --> 0:19:45.160
<v Speaker 1>So I feel good.

0:19:45.180 --> 0:19:49.080
<v Speaker 10>I feel way better today. So hopefully we'll hopefully it

0:19:49.119 --> 0:19:50.520
<v Speaker 10>hurts tomorrow because that means i was on the bases

0:19:50.560 --> 0:19:52.260
<v Speaker 10>a lot today do.

0:19:52.220 --> 0:19:54.980
<v Speaker 4>You feel uh 37 or 33 today.

0:19:54.680 --> 0:19:59.750
<v Speaker 10>Um yeah yeah i feel all of it whatever age

0:19:59.770 --> 0:20:01.090
<v Speaker 10>you want to put on me is what i feel

0:20:01.130 --> 0:20:03.070
<v Speaker 10>no no it's good i'm just happy to be able

0:20:03.090 --> 0:20:05.629
<v Speaker 10>to be back on the field and um you know

0:20:05.650 --> 0:20:07.409
<v Speaker 10>i got dinner with the in-laws tonight so that'd be

0:20:07.430 --> 0:20:08.950
<v Speaker 10>good but uh no i feel.

0:20:08.830 --> 0:20:10.170
<v Speaker 3>Much better today.

0:20:11.800 --> 0:20:14.600
<v Speaker 6>So freddie's in good spirits not just because it's his

0:20:14.660 --> 0:20:17.139
<v Speaker 6>birthday but he's playing again that's what he wants to

0:20:17.180 --> 0:20:21.560
<v Speaker 6>do and he's just four extra base hits away from

0:20:21.560 --> 0:20:23.790
<v Speaker 6>1000 in his career which would make him only the

0:20:24.109 --> 0:20:28.430
<v Speaker 6>40th player in baseball history to achieve that What a career.

0:20:28.230 --> 0:20:28.690
<v Speaker 7>He has had.

0:20:28.730 --> 0:20:30.330
<v Speaker 2>David is brought to you by Ford, the official vehicle

0:20:45.220 --> 0:20:48.030
<v Speaker 2>after making his Major League debut. How's he feeling?

0:20:49.250 --> 0:20:52.350
<v Speaker 6>Well, everybody's talking about how impressed they were that he

0:20:52.390 --> 0:20:54.850
<v Speaker 6>did not allow the game to get too fast.

0:20:54.910 --> 0:20:56.030
<v Speaker 4>And I was talking to him.

0:20:56.800 --> 0:20:59.460
<v Speaker 6>Right before I spoke to Freddie, and he was just saying, yeah,

0:20:59.480 --> 0:21:01.139
<v Speaker 6>you know, that's the way I approach things.

0:21:01.320 --> 0:21:02.760
<v Speaker 4>It wasn't too fast for me.

0:21:02.780 --> 0:21:06.820
<v Speaker 6>I was really happy with the at-bats and the quality

0:21:06.840 --> 0:21:09.400
<v Speaker 6>of swings that I had. And Dave Roberts also was

0:21:09.440 --> 0:21:12.159
<v Speaker 6>singing his praises because he said he doesn't believe that

0:21:12.220 --> 0:21:15.710
<v Speaker 6>DePaula swung at a pitch outside of the strike zone

0:21:15.770 --> 0:21:19.760
<v Speaker 6>last night. So this is going to be a big day.

0:21:19.960 --> 0:21:22.940
<v Speaker 6>I predict DePaula not only gets his first hit, but

0:21:23.040 --> 0:21:26.379
<v Speaker 6>first extra base hit in his Major League career today.

0:21:26.440 --> 0:21:26.880
<v Speaker 5>That's right.

0:21:27.820 --> 0:21:30.200
<v Speaker 2>Cannot wait. Hopefully that happens, David. Great stuff. We'll check

0:21:30.240 --> 0:21:31.260
<v Speaker 2>back in with you in just a little bit. Dave's

0:21:31.280 --> 0:21:34.359
<v Speaker 2>going to go one-on-one with Jack Dreyer, Dodger reliever. That's

0:21:34.400 --> 0:21:36.560
<v Speaker 2>coming up in about 15 minutes. When we come back

0:21:36.600 --> 0:21:38.699

<v Speaker 2>We go back to September 19th, 2024. Lone Depot Park

0:22:26.510 --> 0:22:30.530
<v Speaker 2>in Miami. The scene, a day in which Shohei Ohtani

0:22:30.609 --> 0:22:31.890

<v Speaker 7>to have a 50-50 season.

0:22:54.600 --> 0:22:55.919
<v Speaker 1>He is incredible.

0:22:55.940 --> 0:23:01.710
<v Speaker 7>Shohei Ohtani with an opposite field home run.

0:23:01.730 --> 0:23:01.780
<v Speaker 1>50-50.

0:23:05.310 --> 0:23:07.290
<v Speaker 4>What a day for Shohei.

0:23:08.230 --> 0:23:13.010
<v Speaker 7>He is the new all-time single-season home runs leader for

0:23:13.050 --> 0:23:18.400

0:23:18.060 --> 0:23:19.200
<v Speaker 4>Home run season.

<v Speaker 2>hello to Charlie Steiner.

0:24:35.340 --> 0:24:38.820
<v Speaker 11>All right, Tim, 15 games remain. The Dodgers' magic number

0:24:39.000 --> 0:24:42.680
<v Speaker 11>is four. And the magic number to earn a wild card,

0:24:42.790 --> 0:24:46.690
<v Speaker 11>buy and eliminate Atlanta in that three-team race with Milwaukee

0:24:47.150 --> 0:24:49.770
<v Speaker 11>is down to an even dozen. A couple of other

0:24:49.830 --> 0:24:52.850
<v Speaker 11>notes as we enter the game mode today. The Dodgers

0:24:52.990 --> 0:24:58.550
<v Speaker 11>enter the game with 9,999 home runs hit. since they

0:24:58.609 --> 0:25:02.950
<v Speaker 11>moved to Los Angeles. And they're riding a season-high eight-game

0:25:03.030 --> 0:25:06.220
<v Speaker 11>winning streak, during which time they have scored 50 runs,

0:25:06.600 --> 0:25:09.199
<v Speaker 11>ever won nine games in a row since an 11-game

0:25:09.240 --> 0:25:13.200
<v Speaker 11>winning streak back in 2023. And the Dodgers have won

0:25:13.359 --> 0:25:17.879
<v Speaker 11>seven of those eight without Shohei Itani. So, where do

0:25:17.900 --> 0:25:21.480
<v Speaker 11>the Dodgers stand? Well, about an inch away from the

0:25:21.570 --> 0:25:23.950
<v Speaker 11>finish line in the postseason yet again.

0:25:24.210 --> 0:25:24.850
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, and.

0:25:25.910 --> 0:25:28.369
<v Speaker 5>We were just talking in the booth a little bit earlier.

0:25:29.350 --> 0:25:31.570
<v Speaker 5>Will the Dodgers be talked about as much as the

0:25:31.590 --> 0:25:35.290
<v Speaker 5>Atlanta Braves when they clenched 14 in a row in

0:25:35.310 --> 0:25:38.360
<v Speaker 5>their division? We're going to find out. I think more

0:25:38.400 --> 0:25:41.720
<v Speaker 5>importantly for the Dodgers to win the West and then

0:25:41.859 --> 0:25:43.820
<v Speaker 5>be one of the top two teams as far as

0:25:43.900 --> 0:25:48.460
<v Speaker 5>victories and avoid that wild card playoff is huge, especially

0:25:49.040 --> 0:25:52.590
<v Speaker 5>magnified since you did not have Shohei Ohtani, at least

0:25:52.650 --> 0:25:55.310
<v Speaker 5>at the present time. If they have to play in

0:25:55.470 --> 0:25:58.190
<v Speaker 5>that wild card round, they would only have, I believe,

0:25:58.270 --> 0:26:00.710
<v Speaker 5>five days for him to just kind of complete it

0:26:01.270 --> 0:26:03.990
<v Speaker 5>from serving on the injured list to the first game

0:26:04.030 --> 0:26:06.270
<v Speaker 5>that's going to be played. So there's a lot on

0:26:06.290 --> 0:26:09.230
<v Speaker 5>the line here, even though the Dodgers, I mean, they're

0:26:09.250 --> 0:26:11.869
<v Speaker 5>going to go to postseason. The question is, when do

0:26:11.890 --> 0:26:12.930
<v Speaker 5>they play their first game?

0:26:13.310 --> 0:26:16.350
<v Speaker 11>Starting play today, there are three games in front of

0:26:16.369 --> 0:26:21.300
<v Speaker 11>Atlanta in that race to avoid that first round wild card. Mo,

0:26:21.320 --> 0:26:24.800
<v Speaker 11>with the win last night, there were so many interesting stories.

0:26:25.160 --> 0:26:28.880
<v Speaker 11>Let's begin with the debut of Josue de Paula. What

0:26:28.920 --> 0:26:31.160
<v Speaker 11>did you think? One of the things that I noticed

0:26:31.220 --> 0:26:34.000
<v Speaker 11>more than anything else beside the walk, he took a

0:26:34.040 --> 0:26:35.919
<v Speaker 11>lot of pitches, and I'm not sure he swung at

0:26:35.960 --> 0:26:37.480
<v Speaker 11>a pitch outside the strike zone.

0:26:37.560 --> 0:26:39.420
<v Speaker 5>No, and that's one of the areas that he really

0:26:39.460 --> 0:26:41.260
<v Speaker 5>improved upon if you look at what he did in

0:26:41.380 --> 0:26:44.780
<v Speaker 5>AA this year compared to a season ago. Is it

0:26:44.800 --> 0:26:48.870
<v Speaker 5>his selection of pitches to offer? were much, much better,

0:26:49.290 --> 0:26:52.629
<v Speaker 5>a lower percentage of swings and misses in particular, and

0:26:52.690 --> 0:26:55.609
<v Speaker 5>then pitches that were out of the strike zone. I

0:26:55.650 --> 0:26:59.310
<v Speaker 5>thought he played with a rather mild heartbeat last night

0:26:59.369 --> 0:27:02.080
<v Speaker 5>after the first at-bat. It's kind of fun to see

0:27:02.410 --> 0:27:05.280
<v Speaker 5>someone make their major league debut and family here. He

0:27:05.320 --> 0:27:08.180
<v Speaker 5>had 15 members of his family and friends on hand

0:27:08.220 --> 0:27:10.280
<v Speaker 5>and then had a chance to get together with them

0:27:10.320 --> 0:27:12.860
<v Speaker 5>right after the ballgame before the buses went back to

0:27:12.880 --> 0:27:15.210
<v Speaker 5>the hotel area. So really kind of a neat night,

0:27:15.250 --> 0:27:18.240
<v Speaker 5>no question about that. And how about Kyle Tucker last night?

0:27:18.700 --> 0:27:21.280
<v Speaker 5>He winds up with a grand slam, a sacrifice fly.

0:27:21.300 --> 0:27:24.840
<v Speaker 5>He had a single, a triple, missed having the cycle,

0:27:24.880 --> 0:27:27.800
<v Speaker 5>did not have the double. But is it a different

0:27:27.840 --> 0:27:30.379
<v Speaker 5>swing path that we're seeing with Tucker? And hopefully it

0:27:30.480 --> 0:27:34.670
<v Speaker 5>is because I mentioned even in spring training, the swing

0:27:34.869 --> 0:27:37.710
<v Speaker 5>surrounds the ball. And for those that are really kind

0:27:37.730 --> 0:27:39.929
<v Speaker 5>of unfamiliar, instead of the barrel of the bat out

0:27:40.109 --> 0:27:43.380
<v Speaker 5>to the baseball line, It's like he's surrounding a round

0:27:43.400 --> 0:27:45.619
<v Speaker 5>of the baseball. Well, there was a much cleaner path

0:27:45.660 --> 0:27:48.140
<v Speaker 5>to the bowl last night, and hopefully that's a sign

0:27:48.180 --> 0:27:49.260
<v Speaker 5>of really good things to come.

0:27:49.740 --> 0:27:53.130
<v Speaker 11>Ryan Gusto made the start for the Marlins last night,

0:27:53.150 --> 0:27:56.629
<v Speaker 11>so the Marlins began with Gusto and then got tuckered out.

0:27:57.010 --> 0:27:59.690
<v Speaker 11>Forgive me, I had a lot of time between last

0:27:59.780 --> 0:28:01.600
<v Speaker 11>night and As we talk this morning.

0:28:01.640 --> 0:28:04.780
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, evidently. And, by the way, it was not time

0:28:04.820 --> 0:28:05.399
<v Speaker 5>well spent.

0:28:08.030 --> 0:28:08.690
<v Speaker 1>Evidently.

0:28:09.490 --> 0:28:10.870
<v Speaker 11>But well spent.

0:28:11.270 --> 0:28:13.470
<v Speaker 4>Once again, Blake Snell was terrific.

0:28:14.230 --> 0:28:17.869
<v Speaker 11>Since coming off the elbow surgery, he went five and

0:28:17.910 --> 0:28:20.909
<v Speaker 11>two-thirds last night, held the Marlins to one run and

0:28:21.050 --> 0:28:27.270
<v Speaker 11>four hits. And his ERA is now 191. He gave

0:28:27.330 --> 0:28:30.050
<v Speaker 11>up just four base hits, struck out eight, and walked two.

0:28:30.109 --> 0:28:31.450
<v Speaker 2>So he's ready for postseason.

0:28:31.550 --> 0:28:32.250
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, he is.

0:28:32.330 --> 0:28:35.209
<v Speaker 5>But one thing that we would recommend to him, and

0:28:35.390 --> 0:28:38.060
<v Speaker 5>he made this comment right after his previous start, he says,

0:28:38.080 --> 0:28:40.520
<v Speaker 5>you know, he's missing by a little bit here and there.

0:28:41.140 --> 0:28:43.640
<v Speaker 5>The pitch count was high. He made 101 pitches in

0:28:43.660 --> 0:28:47.220
<v Speaker 5>five and two-thirds. Now, that's very high, especially for Snell.

0:28:47.240 --> 0:28:49.620
<v Speaker 5>So I think that's the area that he has really

0:28:49.660 --> 0:28:53.310
<v Speaker 5>been channeling to try and improve, you know, not missing pitches.

0:28:54.240 --> 0:28:57.880
<v Speaker 5>in critical counts and critical spots in ballgames. And, you know,

0:28:58.000 --> 0:29:00.320
<v Speaker 5>one thing about it, though, he understands how to pitch

0:29:00.360 --> 0:29:01.240
<v Speaker 5>and how to change speeds.

0:29:01.610 --> 0:29:04.990
<v Speaker 11>And so does Tyler Glasnow, making his fourth start since

0:29:05.050 --> 0:29:09.090
<v Speaker 11>coming off the injured list. Interesting note about him, only Miz,

0:29:09.270 --> 0:29:13.830
<v Speaker 11>Jacob Mizorowski, a 156 batting average against, is lower than

0:29:13.890 --> 0:29:18.690
<v Speaker 11>what Glasnow has. So Glasnow, he too, like Snell, seemed

0:29:18.730 --> 0:29:21.780
<v Speaker 11>to excel down the stretch, and we'll find out more

0:29:21.840 --> 0:29:22.880
<v Speaker 11>today as he faces.

0:29:23.390 --> 0:29:24.250
<v Speaker 2>Tyler Phillips.

0:29:24.530 --> 0:29:27.030
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, we're going to find out on that. Also, you

0:29:27.070 --> 0:29:30.750
<v Speaker 5>might want to keep some candles happy and somewhat convenient.

0:29:30.850 --> 0:29:31.130
<v Speaker 1>Why?

0:29:31.670 --> 0:29:35.010
<v Speaker 5>Well, for Freddie Freeman, he wants to blow out 37

0:29:35.010 --> 0:29:38.010
<v Speaker 5>candles on his birthday cake here today, and hopefully he'll

0:29:38.050 --> 0:29:40.750
<v Speaker 5>be able to do it. And hopefully that knee is

0:29:40.790 --> 0:29:43.130
<v Speaker 5>getting much better. Because he's been struggling, if we look

0:29:43.170 --> 0:29:44.770
<v Speaker 5>at the last, oh, 10 to 12 days.

0:29:45.110 --> 0:29:48.800
<v Speaker 11>And certainly that's another reason why the Dodgers want to

0:29:48.860 --> 0:29:52.800
<v Speaker 11>have nothing to do with being the wild card. Being

0:29:53.040 --> 0:29:56.620
<v Speaker 11>third out of three with Milwaukee and Atlanta. Again, a

0:29:56.980 --> 0:29:59.709
<v Speaker 11>comfortable lead. Three and a half over the Braves. and

0:29:59.730 --> 0:30:03.200
<v Speaker 11>a magic number to eliminate them of 12. Well, we'll

0:30:03.220 --> 0:30:05.580
<v Speaker 11>get to the lineups and first pitch in just.

0:30:05.300 --> 0:30:06.120
<v Speaker 4>A little bit, Tim.

0:30:06.460 --> 0:30:09.390
<v Speaker 2>All right. Thank you, Charlie. Dodgers baseball presented by Uniqlo

<v Speaker 1>And now, what will likely be Vasse fielding insults from

0:31:13.850 --> 0:31:14.630
<v Speaker 1>a Dodger player.

0:31:14.870 --> 0:31:16.010
<v Speaker 2>It's an engagement of endearment.

0:31:16.050 --> 0:31:17.990
<v Speaker 1>This is... is high and tight.

0:31:18.530 --> 0:31:20.930
<v Speaker 6>Last night was a big night for the Dodgers. Kyle

0:31:20.990 --> 0:31:23.750
<v Speaker 6>Tucker hits the Grand Slam, a double shy of the cycle.

0:31:23.790 --> 0:31:27.930
<v Speaker 6>But the biggest news was that Dodger reliever, Jack Dreyer,

0:31:28.450 --> 0:31:32.550
<v Speaker 6>caught clean Kyle Tucker's Grand Slam that landed in the

0:31:32.590 --> 0:31:35.530
<v Speaker 6>Dodger bullpen. And Jack joins us right now. Thanks a

0:31:35.590 --> 0:31:36.960
<v Speaker 6>lot for the time. Appreciate it.

0:31:37.170 --> 0:31:37.950
<v Speaker 3>Thank you for having me.

0:31:38.270 --> 0:31:40.970
<v Speaker 6>I didn't know there was such a heated battle in

0:31:40.990 --> 0:31:44.120
<v Speaker 6>the bullpen when it comes to who's leading this home

0:31:44.160 --> 0:31:45.620
<v Speaker 6>run catching contest.

0:31:46.560 --> 0:31:48.560
<v Speaker 4>Is it getting competitive out there, Jack?

0:31:49.240 --> 0:31:52.360
<v Speaker 12>Yeah, when you award 10 points for calling a home

0:31:52.400 --> 0:31:56.380
<v Speaker 12>run and catching it, things get pretty competitive. So the

0:31:56.380 --> 0:31:59.560
<v Speaker 12>10 points yesterday definitely boosted me, but we've now had

0:31:59.600 --> 0:32:02.410
<v Speaker 12>three guys catch a home run that they called this year,

0:32:02.510 --> 0:32:04.110
<v Speaker 12>so it's going to be a pretty tight race down

0:32:04.130 --> 0:32:04.470
<v Speaker 12>to the end.

0:32:04.730 --> 0:32:06.410
<v Speaker 4>Wow, only three. So wait a minute.

0:32:06.450 --> 0:32:10.010
<v Speaker 6>Last night I knew you caught the Grand Slam from Tucker,

0:32:10.050 --> 0:32:12.290
<v Speaker 6>but I had no idea that you called it. You

0:32:12.350 --> 0:32:16.030
<v Speaker 6>called it before the game or before that at bat?

0:32:16.380 --> 0:32:18.540
<v Speaker 12>I called it before the at bat before the pitching change.

0:32:19.200 --> 0:32:20.880
<v Speaker 4>Oh, okay. So that's how it works.

0:32:21.320 --> 0:32:22.680
<v Speaker 3>That's right. You need to call it before the at

0:32:22.700 --> 0:32:23.180
<v Speaker 3>bat starts.

0:32:23.720 --> 0:32:26.260
<v Speaker 6>So was that just throwing a dart against the wall

0:32:26.320 --> 0:32:27.370
<v Speaker 6>or you really believed it?

0:32:27.900 --> 0:32:29.740
<v Speaker 12>No, I liked the matchup. I think that our hitters

0:32:29.760 --> 0:32:32.720
<v Speaker 12>were taking some good at bats. Um, obviously with the

0:32:32.760 --> 0:32:37.080
<v Speaker 12>pitching change, bringing in a lefty to go left on left, um, was,

0:32:37.500 --> 0:32:39.790
<v Speaker 12>you know, matchup based for them, but I feel like

0:32:40.070 --> 0:32:43.180
<v Speaker 12>tuck was swinging it well. And, uh, I had called

0:32:43.200 --> 0:32:44.940
<v Speaker 12>the shot before the pitching change, so I wasn't going

0:32:44.960 --> 0:32:45.620
<v Speaker 12>to change my mind.

0:32:45.640 --> 0:32:46.560
<v Speaker 3>I had all the faith in him.

0:32:47.220 --> 0:32:50.090
<v Speaker 6>So everybody wants to know, when you catch that baseball,

0:32:50.640 --> 0:32:53.430
<v Speaker 6>do you get Tucker to sign it? Everybody wants to know,

0:32:53.490 --> 0:32:56.210
<v Speaker 6>what's Jack Dreyer doing with that Grand Slam baseball?

0:32:56.690 --> 0:33:00.050
<v Speaker 12>I did keep it at first, but then, you know,

0:33:00.610 --> 0:33:02.230
<v Speaker 12>we still had a job to do. So I had

0:33:02.270 --> 0:33:05.090
<v Speaker 12>to get hot a couple times yesterday and focus on

0:33:05.110 --> 0:33:07.230
<v Speaker 12>the game. So I think the ball got lost in

0:33:07.250 --> 0:33:10.610
<v Speaker 12>the shuffle. But I'm just appreciative that he helped me

0:33:10.650 --> 0:33:11.430
<v Speaker 12>get 10 points there.

0:33:11.820 --> 0:33:12.660
<v Speaker 4>Oh, my gosh.

0:33:12.880 --> 0:33:16.290
<v Speaker 6>So maybe you even used the baseball to warm up

0:33:16.330 --> 0:33:16.850
<v Speaker 6>for the game.

0:33:16.970 --> 0:33:18.530
<v Speaker 3>There's definitely a chance that that happened, yeah.

0:33:18.590 --> 0:33:19.090
<v Speaker 9>Wow.

0:33:19.330 --> 0:33:21.330
<v Speaker 4>Is Tucker upset you don't have the baseball?

0:33:21.810 --> 0:33:24.370
<v Speaker 12>No, I don't think he minds. I think the grand

0:33:24.390 --> 0:33:25.910
<v Speaker 12>slam was enough for him.

0:33:26.080 --> 0:33:29.580
<v Speaker 6>Okay. Now, in the backyard, we can't relate to the

0:33:29.660 --> 0:33:33.280
<v Speaker 6>level of baseball that you play or pitch in, but

0:33:33.340 --> 0:33:35.940
<v Speaker 6>we can all relate to three flies up in the

0:33:35.980 --> 0:33:39.010
<v Speaker 6>swimming pool or in the backyard or in the cul-de-sac

0:33:39.570 --> 0:33:42.850
<v Speaker 6>out there in the bullpen. When the ball is coming

0:33:42.890 --> 0:33:46.230
<v Speaker 6>your way, are guys elbowing each other to get out

0:33:46.250 --> 0:33:48.110
<v Speaker 6>of the way, three flies up style?

0:33:48.510 --> 0:33:50.210
<v Speaker 3>No, there's definitely a respect factor.

0:33:51.680 --> 0:33:55.420
<v Speaker 12>If you haven't called the shot, nobody really goes for

0:33:55.440 --> 0:33:59.420
<v Speaker 12>the ball. But if somebody's in on that at bat,

0:34:00.040 --> 0:34:01.920
<v Speaker 12>they give them as much space as they need to

0:34:01.960 --> 0:34:05.110
<v Speaker 12>make the catch so that hopefully there's no jostling or

0:34:05.270 --> 0:34:06.350
<v Speaker 12>injuries or anything like that.

0:34:06.650 --> 0:34:07.610
<v Speaker 4>Okay, I love that.

0:34:07.670 --> 0:34:10.230
<v Speaker 6>Jack Dreyer is our guest and There's always a lot

0:34:10.270 --> 0:34:13.770
<v Speaker 6>of competitive relievers out here. Tanner Scott, who believes he

0:34:13.890 --> 0:34:17.710
<v Speaker 6>owns Miami, is trying to listen in on our conversation.

0:34:18.270 --> 0:34:21.750
<v Speaker 6>Where's Tanner Scott on this whole list of points?

0:34:22.710 --> 0:34:24.630
<v Speaker 12>Well, he is not one of the three guys that

0:34:24.670 --> 0:34:28.530
<v Speaker 12>has called a shot this year, so it's unfortunate, but

0:34:29.700 --> 0:34:32.900
<v Speaker 12>no matter how well you're doing, if you haven't caught

0:34:33.100 --> 0:34:35.160
<v Speaker 12>a home run, the 10 points really hurts, so I

0:34:35.200 --> 0:34:36.820
<v Speaker 12>don't think he's near the top.

0:34:37.080 --> 0:34:40.220
<v Speaker 4>Who are the three guys that have called it besides yourself?

0:34:40.770 --> 0:34:42.770
<v Speaker 3>It's me trying in and Kyle hurt.

0:34:43.250 --> 0:34:43.950
<v Speaker 1>Oh, wow.

0:34:44.570 --> 0:34:46.350
<v Speaker 4>And can you fill us in on the leaderboard?

0:34:46.910 --> 0:34:50.210
<v Speaker 12>Um, as far as I know, according to Blake, he's,

0:34:50.250 --> 0:34:53.180
<v Speaker 12>he says we're tied, uh, but we're getting, we're getting

0:34:53.219 --> 0:34:56.200
<v Speaker 12>an update of the accurate leaderboard later today. Um, and

0:34:56.219 --> 0:34:58.100
<v Speaker 12>then I think Kyle might be a point or two

0:34:58.140 --> 0:34:58.560
<v Speaker 12>behind us.

0:34:58.900 --> 0:35:01.600
<v Speaker 6>Who is the Dodger reliever that you can trust to

0:35:02.060 --> 0:35:04.580
<v Speaker 6>not change the score like a guy on the golf course?

0:35:04.920 --> 0:35:08.850
<v Speaker 12>Well, we give, uh, The commissioner of the points game

0:35:08.890 --> 0:35:11.930
<v Speaker 12>in the bullpen is Chico, so he's in charge of

0:35:11.969 --> 0:35:15.080
<v Speaker 12>all of the rulemaking and the point leaderboard system and everything.

0:35:15.120 --> 0:35:17.200
<v Speaker 3>So whenever there are problems, it's his fault.

0:35:17.400 --> 0:35:19.340
<v Speaker 4>Okay, just double-check his math.

0:35:19.680 --> 0:35:20.580
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, exactly.

0:35:21.280 --> 0:35:23.600
<v Speaker 6>Jack Dreyer is our guest. Before I let you go,

0:35:23.640 --> 0:35:26.279
<v Speaker 6>I've got to ask you a pitching question. It's one

0:35:26.340 --> 0:35:28.700
<v Speaker 6>thing to get your season back on track for a week,

0:35:29.320 --> 0:35:32.130
<v Speaker 6>but how have you continued to stack these chips?

0:35:33.130 --> 0:35:35.219
<v Speaker 12>I think the biggest thing is just Getting a little

0:35:35.239 --> 0:35:38.160
<v Speaker 12>bit better every day. You know, there's so much noise

0:35:38.200 --> 0:35:42.640
<v Speaker 12>going on with the media and games and now like

0:35:42.700 --> 0:35:45.719
<v Speaker 12>magic numbers and stuff like that coming up. And so

0:35:45.739 --> 0:35:46.950
<v Speaker 12>you just need to be able to focus on what

0:35:46.969 --> 0:35:49.750
<v Speaker 12>you can control and just get a little bit better

0:35:49.790 --> 0:35:51.630
<v Speaker 12>each day. And when you look up at the end

0:35:51.650 --> 0:35:53.589
<v Speaker 12>of the season, you'll be in a much better spot

0:35:53.610 --> 0:35:54.489
<v Speaker 12>than you were at the.

0:35:54.469 --> 0:35:54.969
<v Speaker 3>Beginning of the year.

0:35:55.370 --> 0:35:56.650
<v Speaker 4>Be where your feet are.

0:35:56.670 --> 0:35:58.450
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, be present as much as possible.

0:35:58.910 --> 0:35:59.270
<v Speaker 7>Love it.

0:35:59.530 --> 0:36:01.989
<v Speaker 6>Jack, thanks a lot. We're in the safe zone. You're

0:36:02.010 --> 0:36:04.029
<v Speaker 6>in the safe zone right here, Jack. Thanks a lot

<v Speaker 3>Thank you for having me.

0:36:05.760 --> 0:36:07.750
<v Speaker 4>There he is, my guy, Jack Dreyer.

0:36:08.110 --> 0:36:10.230
<v Speaker 6>All respect for this guy, and he'll receive a gift

0:36:10.250 --> 0:36:13.810
<v Speaker 6>card to Capitol Grill. The Capitol Grill in Burbank specifically,

0:36:14.170 --> 0:36:17.050
<v Speaker 6>an upscale, relaxed spot with a great bar, great steaks,

0:36:17.489 --> 0:36:20.509
<v Speaker 6>and nobody would treat Jack Dreyer and tell baby to

0:36:20.550 --> 0:36:21.310
<v Speaker 6>go to the corner.

0:36:21.550 --> 0:36:22.709

<v Speaker 4>All right, we'll send it back to you, Tim.

0:36:25.350 --> 0:36:28.110
<v Speaker 2>All right, thanks a lot, DV. The game within the game,

0:36:28.230 --> 0:36:31.180
<v Speaker 2>the guys in the bullpen playing a points game, calling

0:36:31.200 --> 0:36:34.640
<v Speaker 2>their shot at bats for the Dodger players. Very good.

0:36:34.950 --> 0:36:37.310
<v Speaker 2>Fun stuff. You've got to pass the time somehow in

0:36:37.350 --> 0:36:39.609
<v Speaker 2>the bullpen. Leading you up to first pitch, Dodgers and

0:36:39.650 --> 0:36:42.310
<v Speaker 2>the Marlins. Up next, we'll get you some numbers. We'll

0:36:42.350 --> 0:36:43.950
<v Speaker 2>dive deeper into this pitching matchup.

0:36:44.110 --> 0:36:44.609
<v Speaker 3>I'm Tim Cates.

0:36:44.630 --> 0:36:48.890
<v Speaker 2>This is the back-to-back World Series champion Dodgers Audio Network.

0:36:50.260 --> 0:36:56.399
<v Speaker 1>This is Morongo Casino. Dodgers on deck. On your home

0:36:56.460 --> 0:36:58.340
<v Speaker 1>for the blue all season long.

0:36:59.930 --> 0:37:02.830
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers in Miami as they continue this weekend set with

0:37:02.870 --> 0:37:06.380
<v Speaker 2>the Marlins. First pitch coming up at 110.

0:37:06.380 --> 0:37:09.910
<v Speaker 1>And now, before the Dodgers hit the diamond, we look

0:37:09.930 --> 0:37:11.320
<v Speaker 1>at the pitching matchup.

0:37:11.360 --> 0:37:14.380
<v Speaker 2>Brought to you by your Toyota dealers, we make it easy.

0:37:14.540 --> 0:37:19.799
<v Speaker 2>Tyler Phillips on the mound for the Marlins. 5-6 with a.

0:37:19.700 --> 0:37:22.500
<v Speaker 2>351 ERA. 28-year-old right-hander. He was drafted out of high

0:37:22.540 --> 0:37:26.450
<v Speaker 2>school in 2016 by the Texas Rangers. Spent almost nine

0:37:26.570 --> 0:37:29.410
<v Speaker 2>years in the minor leagues between the Rangers farm system

0:37:29.430 --> 0:37:33.320
<v Speaker 2>and the Phillies farm system. Finally made his debut in 2024.

0:37:33.320 --> 0:37:36.319
<v Speaker 2>Made eight appearances, seven starts for the Phillies. Went 4-1

0:37:36.360 --> 0:37:40.259
<v Speaker 2>with his. 687 ERA with 28 strikeouts. Last year, though,

0:37:40.300 --> 0:37:45.290
<v Speaker 2>pitched primarily as a reliever. 54 games. This season, he

0:37:45.330 --> 0:37:47.430
<v Speaker 2>has done both. Pitching out of the bullpen, now as

0:37:47.510 --> 0:37:50.810
<v Speaker 2>a starter, making his 18th start, his 35th appearance. 2-0

0:37:50.870 --> 0:37:54.030
<v Speaker 2>in his last two starts. Last time out, Tyler Phillips,

0:37:54.070 --> 0:37:56.840
<v Speaker 2>five innings, three runs, five hits, and three strikeouts in

0:37:56.860 --> 0:37:59.299
<v Speaker 2>a win over the Kansas City Royals. Dodgers have seen

0:37:59.340 --> 0:38:01.560
<v Speaker 2>him three times last year, all out of the bullpen,

0:38:01.700 --> 0:38:05.140
<v Speaker 2>all in relief with the Marlins. Tyler Glass now on

0:38:05.180 --> 0:38:08.980
<v Speaker 2>the mound for the Dodgers. 4-0 with a 3-12 ERA.

0:38:09.000 --> 0:38:11.300
<v Speaker 2>The 33-year-old right-hander in his third season now with the Dodgers,

0:38:11.560 --> 0:38:13.900
<v Speaker 2>11th season in the big leagues. He's been hurt for

0:38:13.960 --> 0:38:15.540
<v Speaker 2>most of the year. He missed three and a half

0:38:15.620 --> 0:38:18.900
<v Speaker 2>months with the back spasms. It's his fourth start back

0:38:18.940 --> 0:38:21.770
<v Speaker 2>since coming off the injured list. Last time out, six innings,

0:38:21.950 --> 0:38:24.510
<v Speaker 2>four runs, six hits, eight strikeouts, and a no decision

0:38:24.930 --> 0:38:27.930
<v Speaker 2>against the Washington Nationals. And five career starts against Miami.

0:38:28.230 --> 0:38:31.160
<v Speaker 2>Tyler Glass now is one and one with a. 386

0:38:31.160 --> 0:38:33.719
<v Speaker 2>ERA and 33 strikeouts. In his only career start for

0:38:33.739 --> 0:38:35.899
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers against the Marlins, he gave up two runs

0:38:35.960 --> 0:38:38.680
<v Speaker 2>on three hits and a no decision at Dodger Stadium

0:38:38.719 --> 0:38:41.580
<v Speaker 2>back on April 29th this year. In that outing, he

0:38:41.660 --> 0:38:44.939
<v Speaker 2>walked a career high. Six batters. Looking for some better

0:38:44.960 --> 0:38:48.900
<v Speaker 2>control today. It's the battle of the Tylers. Tyler Glasnow.

0:38:49.420 --> 0:38:51.380
<v Speaker 2>Tyler Phillips. Dodgers.

0:38:51.780 --> 0:38:52.180
<v Speaker 1>Marlins.

0:38:55.590 --> 0:38:57.950
<v Speaker 2>to the game are next. Don't you go anywhere. I'm

0:38:57.969 --> 0:38:59.930
<v Speaker 2>Tim Cates. This is the back-to-back World Series Champion Dodgers

<v Speaker 2>Audio Network.

0:39:04.810 --> 0:39:09.989
<v Speaker 1>This is Morongo Casino. Dodgers on deck. On your home

0:39:10.050 --> 0:39:11.950
<v Speaker 1>for L.A. Dodgers baseball.

0:39:13.850 --> 0:39:17.390
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers looking to win their ninth in a row in

0:39:17.440 --> 0:39:20.580
<v Speaker 2>Miami to take on the Marlins. Tyler Glasnow looking to

0:39:20.600 --> 0:39:23.820
<v Speaker 2>stay undefeated on this season. First pitch coming up at

0:39:23.820 --> 0:39:25.489
<v Speaker 2>110 as we get you ready for the start of

0:39:25.510 --> 0:39:28.819
<v Speaker 2>the game with the Sapporo start. Yeah, great moment. Start

0:39:28.840 --> 0:39:31.640
<v Speaker 2>with Sapporo beer, whatever your taste preference. Sapporo has you

0:39:31.700 --> 0:39:34.760
<v Speaker 2>covered with a variety of crisp and refreshing lagers, including

0:39:34.800 --> 0:39:40.960
<v Speaker 2>light and non-alcoholic beers. Sapporo, good with sushi, great with baseball.

0:39:41.060 --> 0:39:43.180
<v Speaker 2>One final time before first pitch. Let's head back out

0:39:43.200 --> 0:39:44.819
<v Speaker 2>to the booth. Tim Neverett, Rick Monday, guys.

0:39:45.550 --> 0:39:48.650
<v Speaker 7>Tim, thanks again. Roof is closed on a humid afternoon

0:39:48.670 --> 0:39:52.190
<v Speaker 7>in Miami as the Dodgers take on the Marlins. Second

0:39:52.230 --> 0:39:56.469
<v Speaker 7>game of this three-game set. Tyler Glasnow will get the ball. 4-0,

0:39:56.469 --> 0:40:00.800
<v Speaker 7>3.12 the earned run average. He's allowed just three runs

0:40:00.900 --> 0:40:04.180
<v Speaker 7>over his last three starts versus the Marlins. He last

0:40:04.260 --> 0:40:07.239
<v Speaker 7>faced them on the 29th of April. Went five and

0:40:07.280 --> 0:40:10.489
<v Speaker 7>two-thirds in that game. But the way we've seen Tyler

0:40:10.510 --> 0:40:14.090
<v Speaker 7>Glasnow since coming off the injured list, he has been very,

0:40:14.130 --> 0:40:17.520
<v Speaker 7>very tough. Good fastball location. The breaking ball's been good, too.

0:40:17.560 --> 0:40:19.950
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, and he holds a high percentage of the breaking stuff, too,

0:40:19.989 --> 0:40:22.550
<v Speaker 5>and gets it over. The numbers, you look at it

0:40:22.570 --> 0:40:24.470
<v Speaker 5>a couple of different times. First of all, he's allowed

0:40:24.510 --> 0:40:29.230
<v Speaker 5>just a 177 batting average against him. Now, that's 57

0:40:29.230 --> 0:40:32.489
<v Speaker 5>and two-thirds innings. He's given up just 34 base hits. So,

0:40:32.530 --> 0:40:35.120
<v Speaker 5>when he is on, he is really on. And for hitters,

0:40:35.140 --> 0:40:38.279
<v Speaker 5>you've got to make some adjustments because for Glasknow, When

0:40:38.320 --> 0:40:40.680
<v Speaker 5>he has his good stuff, he can absolutely take the

0:40:40.719 --> 0:40:41.570
<v Speaker 5>bat out of your hand.

0:40:41.860 --> 0:40:45.710
<v Speaker 7>Tyler Phillips won his second consecutive start last Sunday against

0:40:45.750 --> 0:40:48.190
<v Speaker 7>the Cubs. He allowed three runs and five innings pitched.

0:40:48.730 --> 0:40:51.510
<v Speaker 7>And over his last four games. He has been stingy.

0:40:51.550 --> 0:40:55.250
<v Speaker 7>He's only allowed five runs. So Tyler Phillips against Tyler Glasnow.

0:40:55.310 --> 0:40:58.430
<v Speaker 7>That's the pitching matchup as the Dodgers look to win

0:40:58.469 --> 0:41:00.870
<v Speaker 7>their second in a row against the Marlins and look

0:41:00.890 --> 0:41:03.110
<v Speaker 7>to win their ninth in a row overall.

0:41:03.130 --> 0:41:03.270
<v Speaker 9>Tim?

0:41:03.770 --> 0:41:07.200
<v Speaker 2>All right. Dodgers 90-57. First place in the NL West.

0:41:07.239 --> 0:41:10.500
<v Speaker 2>Just a matter of when they clinch the division. Not if,

0:41:10.580 --> 0:41:13.000
<v Speaker 2>but also the Dodgers. A game and a half back

0:41:13.040 --> 0:41:15.740
<v Speaker 2>of the Milwaukee Brewers who have already clinched the playoff spot.

0:41:15.780 --> 0:41:17.370
<v Speaker 2>They are three and a half games up. on the

0:41:17.410 --> 0:41:19.930
<v Speaker 2>Atlanta Braves for the second spot in the National League.

0:41:20.270 --> 0:41:22.930
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers coming up against the Marlins later on this afternoon

0:41:22.950 --> 0:41:25.600
<v Speaker 2>when the Dodger game is over. Braves will take on

0:41:25.620 --> 0:41:27.960
<v Speaker 2>the Phillies, and the Brewers will play host to the

0:41:28.020 --> 0:41:30.799
<v Speaker 2>Cincinnati Reds. Keep an eye on those later on this

0:41:30.980 --> 0:41:33.759
<v Speaker 2>evening as the Dodgers look to widen the gap over

0:41:33.800 --> 0:41:36.640
<v Speaker 2>the Braves and close the gap over the Milwaukee Brewers.

0:41:36.680 --> 0:41:38.950
<v Speaker 2>First things first, though, the battle of the Tylers. Tyler

0:41:38.969 --> 0:41:42.009
<v Speaker 2>Glass now, Tyler Phillips, Dodgers and Marlins. Dodgers looking to

0:41:42.030 --> 0:41:44.470
<v Speaker 2>win their ninth in a row next. I'm Tim Cates.
