<v Speaker 3>Booth with more details. Well, last night in Denver, the

0:01:46.240 --> 0:01:48.520
<v Speaker 3>Dodgers needed a win to get the split of the

0:01:48.560 --> 0:01:52.440
<v Speaker 3>four game series. No Bets, no Freeman, no Kyle Tucker

0:01:52.520 --> 0:01:56.760
<v Speaker 3>in the lineup, no problem for the Dodgers offense, Justin Robleski. Meanwhile,

0:01:56.760 --> 0:01:59.600
<v Speaker 3>in the mount seven innings, one run, eight hits, three strikeouts,

0:02:00.040 --> 0:02:03.600
<v Speaker 3>ninety seven pitches, seventy two for strikes. Coming off eight

0:02:03.640 --> 0:02:06.760
<v Speaker 3>scoreless innings against the New York Mets. He was fantastic

0:02:06.840 --> 0:02:08.440
<v Speaker 3>last night. Got into a little bit of a trouble

0:02:08.480 --> 0:02:11.080
<v Speaker 3>early in the first Breton Doyle and RBI double, but

0:02:11.280 --> 0:02:14.800
<v Speaker 3>it was Zeros after that. In the second, Max Munsey

0:02:14.919 --> 0:02:17.639
<v Speaker 3>home run tied the game at won. Then Miguel Rojas

0:02:17.680 --> 0:02:18.880
<v Speaker 3>gave the Dodgers the lead.

0:02:19.600 --> 0:02:22.640
<v Speaker 2>Of his seven home runs of the season, three of

0:02:22.639 --> 0:02:26.320
<v Speaker 2>them have now come against left handed pitching, and swings

0:02:26.320 --> 0:02:26.760
<v Speaker 2>and drills.

0:02:26.760 --> 0:02:27.680
<v Speaker 7>One deep to left.

0:02:27.880 --> 0:02:33.000
<v Speaker 2>This pass back back to back home runs, Rojas gives

0:02:33.040 --> 0:02:34.079
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers.

0:02:33.680 --> 0:02:36.960
<v Speaker 7>A two to one lead. Oh, he did not wait

0:02:37.040 --> 0:02:37.440
<v Speaker 7>a round.

0:02:38.600 --> 0:02:41.000
<v Speaker 2>He got a pitch that was on the inner half

0:02:41.040 --> 0:02:42.640
<v Speaker 2>but right in the wheelhouse, and.

0:02:42.720 --> 0:02:44.120
<v Speaker 1>He turns on it for his.

0:02:44.160 --> 0:02:45.560
<v Speaker 2>First home run of the season.

0:02:45.880 --> 0:02:47.960
<v Speaker 3>Dodgers with back to back home runs in the second

0:02:47.960 --> 0:02:50.239
<v Speaker 3>of two to one. Then they just kept tacking on

0:02:50.560 --> 0:02:53.440
<v Speaker 3>Will Smith groundball the third misplayed by Kyle Caro so

0:02:53.520 --> 0:02:56.200
<v Speaker 3>Tany scored. Dodgers up three to one to Oscar Hernandez

0:02:56.240 --> 0:02:59.040
<v Speaker 3>grinded into a double play, Will Smith scored, I made

0:02:59.040 --> 0:03:01.360
<v Speaker 3>it four to one. Then Mounsey scored on a bock

0:03:01.440 --> 0:03:04.160
<v Speaker 3>Dodgers up five to one. Alex Call drew a bases

0:03:04.200 --> 0:03:07.520
<v Speaker 3>loaded walk Monsey scored. Dodgers up six to one. Miguel

0:03:07.600 --> 0:03:10.840
<v Speaker 3>Rojas sack, but Andy Pie has scored. Dodgers up seven

0:03:10.880 --> 0:03:13.560
<v Speaker 3>to one. In the eighth, it was home run city again,

0:03:13.639 --> 0:03:16.200
<v Speaker 3>Dalton rushing a home run, his six of the season.

0:03:16.200 --> 0:03:18.840
<v Speaker 3>Dodgers up eight to one. Tay Oscar Hernandez in an

0:03:18.919 --> 0:03:21.600
<v Speaker 3>RBI single, finally a traditional winn to score a run

0:03:21.639 --> 0:03:22.480
<v Speaker 3>Besides the home run.

0:03:22.600 --> 0:03:23.680
<v Speaker 5>Dodgers up nine to one.

0:03:23.680 --> 0:03:26.560
<v Speaker 3>They're up ninety two in the ninth inning when Max

0:03:26.760 --> 0:03:27.840
<v Speaker 3>Munsey did it again.

0:03:28.440 --> 0:03:31.639
<v Speaker 2>Think Roberts sending a Ward up there to follow Munsey

0:03:31.840 --> 0:03:35.400
<v Speaker 2>get him another at bat after he had a couple

0:03:35.480 --> 0:03:37.960
<v Speaker 2>last night. Pitch swung, I'm well hit till lot field

0:03:37.960 --> 0:03:41.320
<v Speaker 2>indep this Paul heading back toward the wall. This ball

0:03:41.640 --> 0:03:46.160
<v Speaker 2>is gone. That's a home run per month. See it

0:03:46.240 --> 0:03:50.160
<v Speaker 2>is his second one tonight. It is his twenty second

0:03:50.240 --> 0:03:53.800
<v Speaker 2>career multi home run game. It is his second multi

0:03:53.840 --> 0:03:54.760
<v Speaker 2>home run game.

0:03:54.600 --> 0:03:58.840
<v Speaker 7>Of this series. Home run number eight.

0:03:58.680 --> 0:04:01.680
<v Speaker 1>On the season from month mile high.

0:04:01.880 --> 0:04:04.640
<v Speaker 3>Monsey with two home runs last night. He had four

0:04:04.640 --> 0:04:08.000
<v Speaker 3>home runs in this series. That one a solo shot

0:04:08.000 --> 0:04:11.520
<v Speaker 3>of the ninth Dodgers I've tended to Dalton, Russian said yeah,

0:04:11.640 --> 0:04:13.600
<v Speaker 3>I want to do some more crushing as well. He

0:04:13.680 --> 0:04:15.680
<v Speaker 3>hit a home run, a two run shot. Dodgers a

0:04:15.760 --> 0:04:19.240
<v Speaker 3>twelve to two win over the Rockies, a lineup with

0:04:19.279 --> 0:04:22.680
<v Speaker 3>no bets, no Freeman, no Kyle Tucker, twelve runs, fifteen hits,

0:04:22.720 --> 0:04:23.640
<v Speaker 3>five home runs.

0:04:23.880 --> 0:04:25.320
<v Speaker 5>Justin Robleski gets the win.

0:04:25.680 --> 0:04:30.240
<v Speaker 3>Dodgers now sixteen and six overall on the season, first

0:04:30.240 --> 0:04:33.360
<v Speaker 3>place atop the NL West. And now the road trip

0:04:33.400 --> 0:04:36.480
<v Speaker 3>continues in rainy San Francisco. But the good news is

0:04:36.720 --> 0:04:39.640
<v Speaker 3>the rain has gone away, the sun is out. Yoshinobu

0:04:39.720 --> 0:04:42.600
<v Speaker 3>Yamamoto on the mount first pitch at six forty five,

0:04:42.640 --> 0:04:44.480
<v Speaker 3>and with the latest, let's head up to the galloping

0:04:44.520 --> 0:04:47.320
<v Speaker 3>Ford broadcast as we say hello to Stephen Nelson and

0:04:47.440 --> 0:04:47.960
<v Speaker 3>Rick Monday.

0:04:48.000 --> 0:04:48.760
<v Speaker 5>Guys.

0:04:49.000 --> 0:04:51.440
<v Speaker 8>All right, Tim Kates, it's always great when you get

0:04:51.440 --> 0:04:53.840
<v Speaker 8>a chance to come up to Oracle Park and watch

0:04:53.920 --> 0:04:56.480
<v Speaker 8>the Dodgers and Giants, one of the all time great

0:04:56.600 --> 0:04:59.600
<v Speaker 8>rivalries in sports. Mo You are well aware of that,

0:05:00.320 --> 0:05:03.000
<v Speaker 8>and teams at opposite ends of the standings in the

0:05:03.160 --> 0:05:06.720
<v Speaker 8>early part of the season. Seven games already separating these

0:05:06.760 --> 0:05:09.320
<v Speaker 8>two teams in the standings in twenty twenty six, but

0:05:09.560 --> 0:05:13.120
<v Speaker 8>no games separating them in the all time standings against

0:05:13.120 --> 0:05:13.480
<v Speaker 8>each other.

0:05:13.640 --> 0:05:16.200
<v Speaker 9>No, it's head to head and the Winter tonight will

0:05:16.240 --> 0:05:20.599
<v Speaker 9>have the series edge all time being able to do that.

0:05:20.600 --> 0:05:23.440
<v Speaker 9>That being said, yeah, I agree with you. There's something

0:05:23.680 --> 0:05:26.360
<v Speaker 9>magical I think the Doctors and Giants over so many

0:05:26.400 --> 0:05:29.000
<v Speaker 9>different years, the fact that they both moved on to

0:05:29.080 --> 0:05:31.520
<v Speaker 9>the West Coast from New York at the same time

0:05:31.600 --> 0:05:34.800
<v Speaker 9>as well, And the story goes that, you know, the

0:05:34.880 --> 0:05:38.440
<v Speaker 9>lay water O'Malley may have allowed the Giants to select Hey,

0:05:38.440 --> 0:05:41.320
<v Speaker 9>wait a minute, Los Angeles or San Francisco, and they

0:05:41.400 --> 0:05:44.120
<v Speaker 9>used to have in fact that they sent somebody up

0:05:44.160 --> 0:05:47.280
<v Speaker 9>to kind of study where they might build the ballpark. Well,

0:05:47.320 --> 0:05:50.920
<v Speaker 9>they built Candlestick Park, and they always took the representative

0:05:50.960 --> 0:05:53.839
<v Speaker 9>from the Giants on to that point on Candlestick Point

0:05:54.240 --> 0:05:57.520
<v Speaker 9>in the morning. Why, because the winds had not kicked

0:05:57.600 --> 0:06:00.760
<v Speaker 9>up in the morning, they built that place and stood, Hey,

0:06:00.839 --> 0:06:02.880
<v Speaker 9>the win kind of picks up about three o'clock in

0:06:02.920 --> 0:06:03.480
<v Speaker 9>the afternoon.

0:06:03.600 --> 0:06:04.080
<v Speaker 1>Oops.

0:06:04.760 --> 0:06:07.240
<v Speaker 8>But here we are, all these years later, get to

0:06:07.279 --> 0:06:09.760
<v Speaker 8>watch them again. The Dodgers going to experience a little

0:06:09.760 --> 0:06:14.360
<v Speaker 8>different hitting environment here at Oracle, certainly different from Candlestick

0:06:14.480 --> 0:06:16.719
<v Speaker 8>than what they just came from at Coors Field, they

0:06:16.720 --> 0:06:19.360
<v Speaker 8>had to fight for that series split just really came

0:06:19.440 --> 0:06:21.960
<v Speaker 8>up empty too many times with runners in scoring position.

0:06:22.279 --> 0:06:24.960
<v Speaker 8>That big hit eluded them far too often, but they

0:06:24.960 --> 0:06:27.480
<v Speaker 8>still were able to salvage they split up the series,

0:06:27.480 --> 0:06:29.560
<v Speaker 8>but they got the big horses lined up finishing.

0:06:29.440 --> 0:06:31.599
<v Speaker 9>And you bring up a good point too, because I

0:06:31.720 --> 0:06:34.839
<v Speaker 9>look at runners in scoring position, it's not an absolute

0:06:34.920 --> 0:06:36.839
<v Speaker 9>guarantee that you're going to win the ball game. But

0:06:37.240 --> 0:06:39.960
<v Speaker 9>the facts are what the facts are. In that four

0:06:40.000 --> 0:06:42.760
<v Speaker 9>game series where they split against the Rockies, that itself

0:06:42.880 --> 0:06:45.520
<v Speaker 9>was kind of a disappointing, no question about it. But

0:06:45.560 --> 0:06:49.799
<v Speaker 9>the Dodgers hit below two hundred with runners in scoring position. Meanwhile,

0:06:49.880 --> 0:06:53.279
<v Speaker 9>the Rockies hit almost three hundred in those four games

0:06:53.279 --> 0:06:55.880
<v Speaker 9>and picking up opportunities. So now we're going to find

0:06:55.920 --> 0:06:59.159
<v Speaker 9>out tonight. And at first blushed little breeze earlier on

0:06:59.279 --> 0:07:02.280
<v Speaker 9>during Bannic rad is blowing out towards center field, right center,

0:07:02.279 --> 0:07:04.279
<v Speaker 9>if you will find out. But the ball is not

0:07:04.320 --> 0:07:07.480
<v Speaker 9>going to carry nearly as well here as they just

0:07:07.640 --> 0:07:10.440
<v Speaker 9>experienced in the four days in Denver, even though the

0:07:10.440 --> 0:07:11.400
<v Speaker 9>weather was rather.

0:07:11.320 --> 0:07:14.800
<v Speaker 8>Cool, and two of the main culprits of those baseballs

0:07:14.840 --> 0:07:19.480
<v Speaker 8>carrying cors field, Max Munsey and Dalton Rushing combined MO

0:07:19.760 --> 0:07:22.960
<v Speaker 8>with Munzi's eight and Rushing seven, they have fifteen home runs.

0:07:23.280 --> 0:07:26.680
<v Speaker 8>That is more than the entire San Francisco Giants roster.

0:07:26.840 --> 0:07:29.800
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, exactly. Well, if you look at Rushing, the numbers

0:07:29.840 --> 0:07:33.720
<v Speaker 9>are again he's only had eight games. It's twenty seven advants.

0:07:34.080 --> 0:07:36.360
<v Speaker 9>He's hitting four forty four and those twenty seven at

0:07:36.400 --> 0:07:39.480
<v Speaker 9>bats seven home runs, thirteen RBIs. How about Max Bunsey

0:07:39.560 --> 0:07:42.040
<v Speaker 9>comes on hitting a three to oh three. People may

0:07:42.200 --> 0:07:45.200
<v Speaker 9>blink a couple of different times three oh three. Tonight

0:07:45.400 --> 0:07:47.400
<v Speaker 9>when the Dodgers played their first game on this road

0:07:47.400 --> 0:07:51.120
<v Speaker 9>trip in Denver, he was hitting two twenty two. It's

0:07:51.160 --> 0:07:54.240
<v Speaker 9>still kind of an oddity with with Munsei eight home

0:07:54.360 --> 0:07:57.320
<v Speaker 9>runs but only driven in nine runs.

0:07:57.640 --> 0:07:59.280
<v Speaker 8>Well, hitting homer is going to be a little bit

0:07:59.280 --> 0:08:01.760
<v Speaker 8>tougher tonight to Kates as Landing Roop is on the

0:08:01.800 --> 0:08:04.960
<v Speaker 8>mound for San Francisco and he's been excellent. Four starts,

0:08:05.200 --> 0:08:07.240
<v Speaker 8>twenty two and two thirds innings. He has yet to

0:08:07.320 --> 0:08:09.840
<v Speaker 8>allow a single home run. We'll see if the Dodgers

0:08:09.840 --> 0:08:11.080
<v Speaker 8>can change that. We'll talk to you a little bit

0:08:11.160 --> 0:08:12.000
<v Speaker 8>later and get a key from mom.

0:08:12.200 --> 0:08:13.960
<v Speaker 3>All right, thank you, Nelly as we count you down

<v Speaker 11>another We've got two more Dodger babies that are here

0:11:31.559 --> 0:11:33.160
<v Speaker 11>and this time another baby girl.

0:11:33.559 --> 0:11:36.000
<v Speaker 3>Welcome to the world of being a girl, Dad, Freddie Freeman,

0:11:36.080 --> 0:11:39.240
<v Speaker 3>no doubt. Speaking of bag, it feels like we're getting

0:11:39.280 --> 0:11:40.960
<v Speaker 3>closer to get Blake Snell back.

0:11:42.240 --> 0:11:45.000
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, we are so. Blake Sells actually currently here in

0:11:45.040 --> 0:11:47.680
<v Speaker 11>San Francisco with the team, so he is going to

0:11:47.679 --> 0:11:50.280
<v Speaker 11>be starting his rehab assignment tomorrow. He's going to be

0:11:50.280 --> 0:11:53.079
<v Speaker 11>playing with the Ontario Tower Buzzers, but they happen to

0:11:53.120 --> 0:11:56.040
<v Speaker 11>be playing here in and San Jose again to the

0:11:56.120 --> 0:11:59.240
<v Speaker 11>Giants minor league team, so it worked out perfectly.

0:11:59.360 --> 0:11:59.920
<v Speaker 1>So he was out.

0:12:00.080 --> 0:12:02.720
<v Speaker 11>You're kind of in the outfield this afternoon and talking

0:12:02.720 --> 0:12:06.080
<v Speaker 11>to the guys. He'll start his rehabit time at tomorrow.

0:12:06.160 --> 0:12:08.960
<v Speaker 11>Dave Roberts. It's a plan. It's for him to get

0:12:08.960 --> 0:12:13.640
<v Speaker 11>through three innings, three innings of word start just continuing

0:12:13.679 --> 0:12:16.760
<v Speaker 11>with his build up. So they did say the floor

0:12:16.880 --> 0:12:19.400
<v Speaker 11>is going to be that five and seventy five when

0:12:19.400 --> 0:12:21.480
<v Speaker 11>it comes to where they want him to be in

0:12:21.520 --> 0:12:23.679
<v Speaker 11>regard to this build up. So if that's maybe three

0:12:23.920 --> 0:12:28.160
<v Speaker 11>before rehab outings, they're not rushing him in his returns,

0:12:28.160 --> 0:12:29.680
<v Speaker 11>but they just want him to continue to have a

0:12:29.720 --> 0:12:32.280
<v Speaker 11>steady build up and continue to feel healthy, which he does.

0:12:32.840 --> 0:12:35.000
<v Speaker 5>Kirsty, we appreciate it. We'll check in with you after

0:12:35.040 --> 0:12:35.320

<v Speaker 3>minor league rehab assignment as well in Triple Ay Oklahoma City.

0:14:09.200 --> 0:14:12.600

<v Speaker 3>head back up to Oracle Park and check out with

0:14:18.040 --> 0:14:19.480
<v Speaker 3>the Dodger Skipper anything else?

0:14:19.960 --> 0:14:21.880
<v Speaker 6>D questions for Dave?

0:14:21.960 --> 0:14:24.080
<v Speaker 1>Dave? Can you just describe Dave?

0:14:24.120 --> 0:14:26.560
<v Speaker 7>Can you talk about the pressure in.

0:14:26.600 --> 0:14:28.840
<v Speaker 1>The dugouts with Dave Roberts?

0:14:29.760 --> 0:14:30.120
<v Speaker 10>It does?

0:14:30.400 --> 0:14:33.120
<v Speaker 12>It does, It's I think the expectation is for him

0:14:33.160 --> 0:14:37.480
<v Speaker 12>to go three innings and then probably six days later

0:14:38.160 --> 0:14:40.960
<v Speaker 12>do another three innings and go from there. But yeah,

0:14:41.160 --> 0:14:43.720
<v Speaker 12>it's good to see him around and with the guys,

0:14:43.720 --> 0:14:44.840
<v Speaker 12>and I know he's chomping.

0:14:44.600 --> 0:14:45.000
<v Speaker 10>At the bed.

0:14:45.120 --> 0:14:46.680
<v Speaker 13>What is the floor for him when it comes to

0:14:46.720 --> 0:14:47.600
<v Speaker 13>his rehab assignment?

0:14:48.880 --> 0:14:52.120
<v Speaker 12>I would say the floor is getting to five innings

0:14:52.160 --> 0:14:56.240
<v Speaker 12>for sure, you know, And you know how we get

0:14:56.240 --> 0:15:00.200
<v Speaker 12>there is obviously up. You know, we're gonna talk about

0:15:00.240 --> 0:15:03.960
<v Speaker 12>that as far as you know the three four, repeat

0:15:03.960 --> 0:15:06.520
<v Speaker 12>the three or I'm not sure you know how we

0:15:06.600 --> 0:15:08.720
<v Speaker 12>have the progression, but you know the floor is getting

0:15:08.720 --> 0:15:09.640
<v Speaker 12>to five innings for sure.

0:15:09.720 --> 0:15:12.720
<v Speaker 13>Obviously, looking at this lineup today, you've got Dalton rushing catching.

0:15:12.880 --> 0:15:15.400
<v Speaker 13>Is it part of that more just seeing Will Smith

0:15:15.440 --> 0:15:17.920
<v Speaker 13>take down three or four in Denver or is it

0:15:17.960 --> 0:15:19.560
<v Speaker 13>what you've been seeing from him at the play and

0:15:19.560 --> 0:15:21.360
<v Speaker 13>wanting to get him some opportunity.

0:15:20.920 --> 0:15:25.800
<v Speaker 12>Here combo, but more so just appreciating that Will caught

0:15:25.800 --> 0:15:28.560
<v Speaker 12>three or four there in Denver, and you know, so

0:15:28.680 --> 0:15:32.640
<v Speaker 12>Dalton will catch today and then Thursday, and then Will

0:15:32.680 --> 0:15:35.560
<v Speaker 12>will catch Wednesday, and then he'll catch the two games,

0:15:35.760 --> 0:15:37.200
<v Speaker 12>the first two games and we get home.

0:15:37.600 --> 0:15:39.560
<v Speaker 14>It didn'tely get to this point even a little quicker

0:15:39.560 --> 0:15:40.960
<v Speaker 14>than you guys were thinking initially.

0:15:42.080 --> 0:15:43.240
<v Speaker 7>I think he's right on track.

0:15:44.920 --> 0:15:48.720
<v Speaker 12>I think that we were very methodical about this whole process,

0:15:48.960 --> 0:15:52.200
<v Speaker 12>and so I think even from the outset, we were

0:15:52.280 --> 0:15:55.120
<v Speaker 12>pretty conservative as far as when he's going to come back.

0:15:55.120 --> 0:15:56.480
<v Speaker 12>So this is kind of what we had hope.

0:15:57.280 --> 0:16:00.440
<v Speaker 7>Hey, look at three or four appearances.

0:16:01.280 --> 0:16:06.680
<v Speaker 12>Oh, it'll for sure be three, but most likely four. Yeah.

0:16:06.800 --> 0:16:09.280
<v Speaker 9>This I just wanted to get him a break after

0:16:09.440 --> 0:16:11.040
<v Speaker 9>Foreign Colorado.

0:16:11.160 --> 0:16:16.120
<v Speaker 12>Yeah, I think this is his first day off, so

0:16:16.720 --> 0:16:18.400
<v Speaker 12>we're in the middle of thirteen in a row. So

0:16:18.440 --> 0:16:21.360
<v Speaker 12>I thought this would be a good time for in Colorado.

0:16:21.400 --> 0:16:25.280
<v Speaker 12>Getting in late last night, and he was certainly trying

0:16:25.320 --> 0:16:27.960
<v Speaker 12>to plead a case to play tonight. But it's still

0:16:28.280 --> 0:16:29.720
<v Speaker 12>I just felt it was the right decision.

0:16:30.120 --> 0:16:32.720
<v Speaker 3>All right, there's the manager, Dave Roberts. Well, we continue

0:16:32.720 --> 0:16:34.960
<v Speaker 3>here on Marongo Casino, Dodgers on Deck. We'll check in

<v Speaker 7>That's right.

0:17:45.680 --> 0:17:48.920
<v Speaker 6>Freddy Freeman is here in the starting lineup. As you know,

0:17:49.119 --> 0:17:53.160
<v Speaker 6>Ryan Ward sent to Oklahoma City after making his major

0:17:53.240 --> 0:17:56.080
<v Speaker 6>league debut, getting his first major league hit and run

0:17:56.160 --> 0:17:58.960
<v Speaker 6>driven in. But it's great to have Freddy Freeman back

0:17:58.960 --> 0:18:03.680
<v Speaker 6>and all as well with the family after receiving their

0:18:03.720 --> 0:18:06.840
<v Speaker 6>first baby girl. And here's what Freddy had to say

0:18:06.880 --> 0:18:10.399
<v Speaker 6>as far as the name of their brand new baby girl.

0:18:10.720 --> 0:18:13.240
<v Speaker 7>Can you sure the meaning of her name and just

0:18:13.280 --> 0:18:14.080
<v Speaker 7>honoring your mom?

0:18:14.160 --> 0:18:17.960
<v Speaker 14>Yes, So London is her first name. Obviously, Chelsea. My

0:18:18.000 --> 0:18:20.800
<v Speaker 14>wife my in laws are from England, born and raised there.

0:18:21.080 --> 0:18:23.320
<v Speaker 14>She's always loved the name London. So ever since I've

0:18:23.320 --> 0:18:25.640
<v Speaker 14>known Chelsea, it felt like we're gonna have a girl.

0:18:25.880 --> 0:18:28.399
<v Speaker 14>The girl's name is gonna be London. And she has

0:18:28.400 --> 0:18:31.480
<v Speaker 14>two middle names. Rosemary Joy. My mom's name was Rosemary

0:18:31.560 --> 0:18:35.720
<v Speaker 14>Joy Freeman, so our daughter's name is London Rosemary Joy

0:18:35.760 --> 0:18:36.840
<v Speaker 14>Freeman after my mom.

0:18:37.520 --> 0:18:39.880
<v Speaker 6>Preddy, you going on the paternity list kind of set

0:18:39.920 --> 0:18:42.800
<v Speaker 6>a chain of events that allowed Ryan Ward to have

0:18:42.880 --> 0:18:45.119
<v Speaker 6>his first major league start and hit and all that

0:18:45.160 --> 0:18:45.920
<v Speaker 6>were you watching.

0:18:46.480 --> 0:18:50.480
<v Speaker 14>Unfortunately, London was born at eleven fifty two, so no,

0:18:50.560 --> 0:18:53.280
<v Speaker 14>I was not watching the game. I did not see

0:18:53.320 --> 0:18:55.880
<v Speaker 14>any visual game on Sunday. I did watch the game

0:18:55.960 --> 0:18:58.199
<v Speaker 14>last night, London's first game she got to watch with me.

0:18:59.320 --> 0:19:01.920
<v Speaker 14>But I I am happy. I've got to know Ryan

0:19:01.960 --> 0:19:04.000
<v Speaker 14>over the last few years, and he's an.

0:19:04.840 --> 0:19:05.959
<v Speaker 10>Incredibly hard worker.

0:19:06.560 --> 0:19:08.399
<v Speaker 14>He's worked so hard for that moment and to go

0:19:08.400 --> 0:19:10.159
<v Speaker 14>out there and get two hits and RBI and his

0:19:10.160 --> 0:19:13.639
<v Speaker 14>big league debut, I was special, So we all know

0:19:13.680 --> 0:19:15.360
<v Speaker 14>he can do it. So I'm sure there'll be another

0:19:15.359 --> 0:19:16.879
<v Speaker 14>opportunity at some point for him to get back here.

0:19:17.720 --> 0:19:21.520
<v Speaker 7>Did you hear about Dalton giving up that start for him?

0:19:22.440 --> 0:19:25.520
<v Speaker 14>I just heard about it, yeah, so I for me,

0:19:25.600 --> 0:19:28.160
<v Speaker 14>I thought Dalton was starting Sunday, So when I heard

0:19:28.200 --> 0:19:30.240
<v Speaker 14>that he wasn't, I did have a smile and I

0:19:30.240 --> 0:19:32.760
<v Speaker 14>faced was like, oh good because Ryan will get to play.

0:19:32.840 --> 0:19:35.360
<v Speaker 14>But awesome for Dalton to do that, and dalton'sent off

0:19:35.359 --> 0:19:39.040
<v Speaker 14>to a great start, So I'm just happy they both

0:19:39.040 --> 0:19:40.320
<v Speaker 14>got to play. Because he played the next day and

0:19:40.359 --> 0:19:42.760
<v Speaker 14>hit to him run, so first face was well taken

0:19:42.800 --> 0:19:43.040
<v Speaker 14>care of.

0:19:45.080 --> 0:19:48.680
<v Speaker 6>So everybody's happy. The Freeman family, the Dodger family. And

0:19:48.840 --> 0:19:51.480
<v Speaker 6>if you remember over the weekend, Tim when we spoke

0:19:51.520 --> 0:19:54.400
<v Speaker 6>to Dave Roberts, I asked him, how did the Dodgers

0:19:54.440 --> 0:19:57.440
<v Speaker 6>have all these really good players yet everybody checks their

0:19:57.480 --> 0:20:00.760
<v Speaker 6>egos at the door. He said, it starts with Freddie Freeman.

0:20:00.920 --> 0:20:04.440
<v Speaker 6>So certainly Dalton Rushing was following his example.

0:20:04.520 --> 0:20:06.800
<v Speaker 3>In Denver, David is brought to by the Forton Maverick

0:20:06.840 --> 0:20:08.760

<v Speaker 6>He has seven home runs in his first twenty seven

0:20:27.880 --> 0:20:30.960
<v Speaker 6>at bats. And we talk about the game rewarding you. Well,

0:20:31.000 --> 0:20:33.760
<v Speaker 6>we just talked about the karma he had giving up

0:20:33.760 --> 0:20:36.960
<v Speaker 6>a start that he doesn't rarely get at first base

0:20:37.119 --> 0:20:39.840
<v Speaker 6>and hits two home runs last night in Denver and

0:20:40.160 --> 0:20:42.360
<v Speaker 6>Will Smith gets the day off. In the first game

0:20:42.400 --> 0:20:45.640
<v Speaker 6>of this series in Dalton, rushing behind the plate, and

0:20:45.800 --> 0:20:49.480
<v Speaker 6>Dave Roberts said, when he went to rushing, Rushing finished

0:20:49.480 --> 0:20:53.000
<v Speaker 6>his sentence when he was explaining to him that Ryan

0:20:53.119 --> 0:20:56.960
<v Speaker 6>Ward was going to have the start on Sunday afternoon.

0:20:57.520 --> 0:20:58.879
<v Speaker 10>I did he was.

0:20:59.400 --> 0:21:01.760
<v Speaker 15>He came up from approached me and said, Hey, this

0:21:01.880 --> 0:21:03.960
<v Speaker 15>is what I'm thinking. And before he even told me

0:21:04.000 --> 0:21:05.320
<v Speaker 15>what he was thinking, I was like, I know where

0:21:05.359 --> 0:21:08.359
<v Speaker 15>your head's at, and he deserves it. And he was like,

0:21:08.400 --> 0:21:10.919
<v Speaker 15>I appreciate you being so open minded about it and

0:21:10.960 --> 0:21:15.000
<v Speaker 15>obviously giving him that opportunity. And like I said, he

0:21:15.280 --> 0:21:17.359
<v Speaker 15>made the most of his opportunity. And I was just

0:21:17.359 --> 0:21:19.160
<v Speaker 15>so happy for him to be able to see him

0:21:19.160 --> 0:21:22.280
<v Speaker 15>get his first one at this level. Every single first

0:21:22.280 --> 0:21:24.720
<v Speaker 15>one at this level is pretty special, and uh, just

0:21:24.760 --> 0:21:26.280
<v Speaker 15>for him to get it after so many years of

0:21:26.280 --> 0:21:27.919
<v Speaker 15>grinding in the minor leagues was pretty special.

0:21:28.080 --> 0:21:29.680
<v Speaker 7>How well do you know Ryan Ward?

0:21:30.119 --> 0:21:30.480
<v Speaker 10>I've played.

0:21:30.480 --> 0:21:32.320
<v Speaker 15>I've played a good hand but or a handful of

0:21:32.320 --> 0:21:35.199
<v Speaker 15>games with him. He's one of my favorite teammates that

0:21:35.240 --> 0:21:37.440
<v Speaker 15>I've actually got to play with. He's such a good dude,

0:21:37.960 --> 0:21:40.920
<v Speaker 15>same guy on the field off the field, always down

0:21:40.960 --> 0:21:42.399

0:21:43.640 --> 0:21:43.760
<v Speaker 9>Uh.

0:21:44.200 --> 0:21:47.159
<v Speaker 15>I think that's what you love most about players, the

0:21:47.240 --> 0:21:51.280
<v Speaker 15>openness to just be themselves regardless of how the game's going,

0:21:51.359 --> 0:21:54.439
<v Speaker 15>how things are going personally. And that's something I'll never

0:21:54.480 --> 0:21:55.800
<v Speaker 15>forget about him as a teammate.

0:21:56.760 --> 0:21:58.720
<v Speaker 6>That's so great to hear from a young player like

0:21:58.800 --> 0:22:01.520

0:22:01.880 --> 0:22:04.639

0:25:00.040 --> 0:25:02.679
<v Speaker 3>in the Bay Area that has since blown through. We

0:25:23.920 --> 0:25:25.800
<v Speaker 3>We say hello to Charlie Steiner.

0:25:26.440 --> 0:25:28.920
<v Speaker 16>All right, tim, a change of venue for the Dodgers

0:25:28.960 --> 0:25:32.080
<v Speaker 16>after splitting four in Denver, now the first of three

0:25:32.119 --> 0:25:35.960
<v Speaker 16>with the Giants in San Francisco. The Dodgers at sixteen

0:25:36.000 --> 0:25:39.399
<v Speaker 16>and six, winners of seven of the last ten, a

0:25:39.520 --> 0:25:43.080
<v Speaker 16>one game lead over second place San Diego, and they

0:25:43.119 --> 0:25:47.040
<v Speaker 16>are playing the Rockies tonight. Now, the Dodgers had a chance,

0:25:47.119 --> 0:25:48.920
<v Speaker 16>now at least in the last twenty four to forty

0:25:48.920 --> 0:25:51.880
<v Speaker 16>eight hours, to take a deep breath and figure out

0:25:52.160 --> 0:25:55.199
<v Speaker 16>who's closing, what's going to be next. Out of the

0:25:55.200 --> 0:25:57.879
<v Speaker 16>bullpen where it appears that Diaz is going to be

0:25:57.960 --> 0:25:59.800
<v Speaker 16>out for not weeks.

0:25:59.680 --> 0:26:04.240
<v Speaker 9>But months exactly undergoing a surgery is we understand tomorrow

0:26:04.320 --> 0:26:07.200
<v Speaker 9>to remove loose bodies. And I think it caught most

0:26:07.200 --> 0:26:09.680
<v Speaker 9>of us by surprise too, Charlie, because we kept reading

0:26:09.680 --> 0:26:12.200
<v Speaker 9>as well with Diaz, maybe a drop off the velocity

0:26:12.520 --> 0:26:15.600
<v Speaker 9>because of a knee issue. Well, all of a sudden

0:26:15.600 --> 0:26:17.960
<v Speaker 9>the knee went to the elbow and the elbow is

0:26:17.960 --> 0:26:21.760
<v Speaker 9>going to be surgically repaired tomorrow. And meanwhile everybody else

0:26:21.840 --> 0:26:24.000
<v Speaker 9>understands is look, we need to pick up the slack

0:26:24.040 --> 0:26:26.560
<v Speaker 9>in the bullpen. Interesting note, very quickly found this a

0:26:26.600 --> 0:26:30.120
<v Speaker 9>note earlier today. If we look at the bullpen, they

0:26:30.160 --> 0:26:32.960
<v Speaker 9>have four different relievers that they have used. You know,

0:26:33.080 --> 0:26:36.399
<v Speaker 9>combine those four relievers just to one point three era.

0:26:36.560 --> 0:26:38.760
<v Speaker 9>And here's the other part too. Some people say, well,

0:26:38.800 --> 0:26:42.240
<v Speaker 9>too many lefties in the bullpen right handed batters against

0:26:42.240 --> 0:26:45.520
<v Speaker 9>the Dodgers. Lefties out of the bullpen are just four

0:26:45.600 --> 0:26:47.720
<v Speaker 9>hits and fifty one at bats. So they're really taking

0:26:47.760 --> 0:26:48.919
<v Speaker 9>care of business on that end.

0:26:49.080 --> 0:26:52.480
<v Speaker 16>All right, the old question who's on first, who's the

0:26:52.520 --> 0:26:56.120
<v Speaker 16>first out of the bullpen? Or perhaps the last last year,

0:26:56.160 --> 0:26:59.440
<v Speaker 16>the Dodgers used twelve different picture to earn a save,

0:27:00.200 --> 0:27:03.800
<v Speaker 16>not including Sasaki. Of course, it was great in the postseason.

0:27:04.160 --> 0:27:05.080
<v Speaker 7>So who do you go to?

0:27:05.200 --> 0:27:07.240
<v Speaker 10>You go to Vesio, you go to Scott.

0:27:07.520 --> 0:27:10.000
<v Speaker 16>Of course, twenty twenty three and twenty four we had

0:27:10.040 --> 0:27:13.920
<v Speaker 16>up in Phillips twenty twenty two Cid Kimberl. Ten years

0:27:13.960 --> 0:27:16.680
<v Speaker 16>before that ken Lee Jansen, So there was some sense

0:27:16.720 --> 0:27:21.280
<v Speaker 16>of continuity. But now a flip of the coin, I guess.

0:27:21.600 --> 0:27:25.159
<v Speaker 9>I would think that it could be Alex Vesi. And

0:27:25.280 --> 0:27:28.960
<v Speaker 9>it's particular right now because he's not been overused. Unfortunately,

0:27:29.040 --> 0:27:32.320
<v Speaker 9>the guys in a bullpen have not been overused in

0:27:32.359 --> 0:27:34.840
<v Speaker 9>the early goings of this season. So yeah, and the

0:27:34.840 --> 0:27:37.000
<v Speaker 9>other part two is who's throwing the best? I think

0:27:37.040 --> 0:27:39.880
<v Speaker 9>that's gonna been. Then, of course the situation the ballgame,

0:27:40.080 --> 0:27:42.760
<v Speaker 9>who threw up against? In what the opposing lineup is

0:27:42.800 --> 0:27:44.760
<v Speaker 9>going to be when it comes down to the end

0:27:44.800 --> 0:27:46.800
<v Speaker 9>of a ball game trying to wrap up a victory.

0:27:47.160 --> 0:27:51.520
<v Speaker 16>Last night, the old question who's up well bottoms up

0:27:51.960 --> 0:27:55.359
<v Speaker 16>last night. The first five hitters in the lineup of Tani,

0:27:55.560 --> 0:27:59.000
<v Speaker 16>Carl Smith, Pey Oscar and Pie has combined to.

0:27:58.960 --> 0:28:00.280
<v Speaker 7>Go four for twenty four.

0:28:01.000 --> 0:28:05.480
<v Speaker 16>The bottom four in the lineup went eleven for sixteen months.

0:28:05.520 --> 0:28:08.360
<v Speaker 16>E four for four, couple of home runs, Rojas three

0:28:08.440 --> 0:28:11.520
<v Speaker 16>for three, a home run and two rbiss Alton Rushing

0:28:11.600 --> 0:28:13.800
<v Speaker 16>continues to hit and that's been all had a big night.

0:28:14.240 --> 0:28:15.040
<v Speaker 7>So the Dodgers.

0:28:15.119 --> 0:28:18.359
<v Speaker 16>The offense is there and what's been fascinating and really

0:28:18.400 --> 0:28:21.200
<v Speaker 16>through the first twenty two games of the year, it's

0:28:21.240 --> 0:28:23.760
<v Speaker 16>been the bottom half of the lineup that has really

0:28:23.800 --> 0:28:24.960
<v Speaker 16>done most of the damage.

0:28:25.000 --> 0:28:26.800
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, they've gotten on base to kind of set the

0:28:26.800 --> 0:28:28.800
<v Speaker 9>stage for the tough part of the lineup. It Two,

0:28:29.320 --> 0:28:32.000
<v Speaker 9>how about these numbers on rushing as you were alluding to.

0:28:32.080 --> 0:28:33.640
<v Speaker 9>First of all, he's hitting a four to forty four.

0:28:33.640 --> 0:28:35.879
<v Speaker 9>It's only in eight games twenty seven advanced. But in

0:28:35.920 --> 0:28:38.000
<v Speaker 9>those twenty seven at bats, how about seven home runs

0:28:38.040 --> 0:28:41.479
<v Speaker 9>and thirteen RBIs. The other guy that you mentioned is

0:28:41.600 --> 0:28:45.200
<v Speaker 9>Max Munsey, who comes on hitting at three oh three

0:28:45.400 --> 0:28:46.800
<v Speaker 9>tonight the batting ends.

0:28:46.920 --> 0:28:47.680
<v Speaker 1>Yes, this is.

0:28:47.680 --> 0:28:50.280
<v Speaker 9>Only April, but if you look at the beginning of

0:28:50.320 --> 0:28:53.760
<v Speaker 9>the road trip Max Munsey was hitting two twenty it

0:28:53.800 --> 0:28:56.560
<v Speaker 9>gives you an indication that he too, has been red

0:28:56.600 --> 0:28:57.960
<v Speaker 9>hot in recent days.

0:28:58.360 --> 0:29:00.120
<v Speaker 1>Here's a question about Russian.

0:29:00.080 --> 0:29:01.200
<v Speaker 7>What do you do with him?

0:29:01.360 --> 0:29:02.560
<v Speaker 1>Where do you play him?

0:29:03.320 --> 0:29:08.440
<v Speaker 16>He's hitting unbelievably well. How long do you stay with him?

0:29:08.640 --> 0:29:12.280
<v Speaker 16>How often does he go out? Every team would like

0:29:12.320 --> 0:29:14.280
<v Speaker 16>to have a problem like that.

0:29:14.360 --> 0:29:18.480
<v Speaker 1>To solve, but you thinking about it, you got to.

0:29:18.440 --> 0:29:20.720
<v Speaker 16>Get him some time somewhere somehow.

0:29:20.960 --> 0:29:24.520
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, just watching him very closely in Denver. He was

0:29:24.560 --> 0:29:29.240
<v Speaker 9>working just about before every ball came during battic practice.

0:29:29.280 --> 0:29:32.160
<v Speaker 9>Is working at first base, on the footwork, receiving throws,

0:29:32.240 --> 0:29:34.920
<v Speaker 9>taking ground balls. That is an area I don't think

0:29:34.960 --> 0:29:37.600
<v Speaker 9>we'll ever see him in the outfield by any chance.

0:29:37.600 --> 0:29:40.320
<v Speaker 9>And he's in there doing the catching tonight, will Smith

0:29:40.360 --> 0:29:43.000
<v Speaker 9>will get a breather to begin with, and he can't

0:29:43.040 --> 0:29:46.440
<v Speaker 9>just automatically say well, we'll put Rushing as the designated hitter. Hey,

0:29:46.440 --> 0:29:49.160
<v Speaker 9>they've got a pretty good one already in show. Hey, Otani,

0:29:49.240 --> 0:29:50.360
<v Speaker 9>the DH who.

0:29:50.200 --> 0:29:51.560
<v Speaker 16>Was one for four last night.

0:29:51.560 --> 0:29:52.880
<v Speaker 7>A couple of walks.

0:29:52.600 --> 0:29:55.840
<v Speaker 16>Extending is on Bay Street to fifty two. He's been

0:29:55.880 --> 0:29:59.200
<v Speaker 16>on base ninety eight times in those fifty two games.

0:29:59.480 --> 0:30:01.920
<v Speaker 16>By the way, the all time record for on base

0:30:01.960 --> 0:30:07.360
<v Speaker 16>streak Ted Williams eighty four straight in nineteen forty nine.

0:30:07.840 --> 0:30:11.040
<v Speaker 16>In forty nine he hit three p forty three. His

0:30:11.160 --> 0:30:15.640
<v Speaker 16>on base percentage was four ninety. His career on base

0:30:15.680 --> 0:30:20.040
<v Speaker 16>percentage splendid splitter Ted Williams was for eighty two. So

0:30:20.280 --> 0:30:22.959
<v Speaker 16>Toddy's got some work to do with a base hit

0:30:23.040 --> 0:30:26.000
<v Speaker 16>tonight or a walkie gets on base He'll get up

0:30:26.040 --> 0:30:31.160
<v Speaker 16>there right with Sean Green at fifty three consecutive games.

0:30:31.200 --> 0:30:34.360
<v Speaker 16>Whole lot to watch tonight, the first of three Dodgers

0:30:34.440 --> 0:30:35.280

<v Speaker 4>You know, everybody would die to be in the position

0:33:36.000 --> 0:33:39.280
<v Speaker 4>that I'm in. And so, you know, just remembering that

0:33:39.320 --> 0:33:42.440
<v Speaker 4>and just making sure that I'm focused and prepared to

0:33:42.480 --> 0:33:44.520
<v Speaker 4>be the best Major League Baseball player that I can

0:33:44.560 --> 0:33:46.440
<v Speaker 4>be on a nightly basis, whether I'm in the lineup

0:33:46.520 --> 0:33:46.680
<v Speaker 4>or not.

0:33:47.240 --> 0:33:50.040
<v Speaker 6>Is the mindset to be able to perform when you

0:33:50.080 --> 0:33:53.280
<v Speaker 6>are called upon? Does it have to be a certain

0:33:53.360 --> 0:33:55.400
<v Speaker 6>level of embracing this role.

0:33:56.120 --> 0:33:58.400
<v Speaker 7>If you don't embrace this role, can you excel?

0:33:59.040 --> 0:33:59.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

0:33:59.320 --> 0:34:02.600
<v Speaker 4>I mean it's you know, it's interesting because it's like, yeah,

0:34:02.600 --> 0:34:04.400
<v Speaker 4>obviously you want to play every day, like it to

0:34:04.400 --> 0:34:06.760
<v Speaker 4>everybody's goal. Everybody wants to play every day, be an

0:34:06.760 --> 0:34:09.400
<v Speaker 4>All Star, win a World Series like whatever. Like for me,

0:34:09.560 --> 0:34:11.320
<v Speaker 4>right now, this is what I've been given.

0:34:11.520 --> 0:34:13.040
<v Speaker 10>And when not what you're.

0:34:12.960 --> 0:34:15.600
<v Speaker 4>Given, just do it and execute it to the best

0:34:15.640 --> 0:34:17.840
<v Speaker 4>of your ability. And so all that comes in with

0:34:18.040 --> 0:34:22.520
<v Speaker 4>just like understanding the innate like pressure that there is

0:34:22.680 --> 0:34:24.759
<v Speaker 4>with playing major League baseball. Like I just said, like

0:34:25.040 --> 0:34:27.480
<v Speaker 4>every little kid wants to take my job. They want

0:34:27.480 --> 0:34:29.600
<v Speaker 4>to be where I'm at, playing the game that I

0:34:29.640 --> 0:34:33.319
<v Speaker 4>love that they love. So there's only so many spots though,

0:34:33.440 --> 0:34:34.960
<v Speaker 4>and if I want to hold onto that spot, it

0:34:34.960 --> 0:34:37.480
<v Speaker 4>doesn't matter whether I get to play every day or

0:34:37.480 --> 0:34:39.680
<v Speaker 4>whether I get to play it once a week, like

0:34:40.560 --> 0:34:42.359
<v Speaker 4>you got to go out there and perform and show

0:34:42.400 --> 0:34:44.480
<v Speaker 4>that you are a major league baseball player, that you're

0:34:44.520 --> 0:34:46.319
<v Speaker 4>an asset for the team and that you make the

0:34:46.320 --> 0:34:48.759
<v Speaker 4>team better and that you you know, do the thing

0:34:48.920 --> 0:34:51.799
<v Speaker 4>little things the right way. So that's my focus and

0:34:51.840 --> 0:34:53.799
<v Speaker 4>that's my mindset every day.

0:34:53.920 --> 0:34:56.919
<v Speaker 6>How much of a badge of honor is it when

0:34:57.239 --> 0:35:00.520
<v Speaker 6>Dave Roberts calls upon Alex's call, you know you're going

0:35:00.560 --> 0:35:04.200
<v Speaker 6>to get a quality at bat. That picture knows he's

0:35:04.239 --> 0:35:06.279
<v Speaker 6>not going to get a three pitch at bat when

0:35:06.280 --> 0:35:07.520
<v Speaker 6>he's facing Alex call.

0:35:08.080 --> 0:35:12.000
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I mean it's I think why they they went

0:35:12.040 --> 0:35:14.240
<v Speaker 4>out and got me. You know, they said they wanted

0:35:14.239 --> 0:35:15.800
<v Speaker 4>guys that are just gonna grind the pitcher.

0:35:15.880 --> 0:35:16.560
<v Speaker 10>You know, I think.

0:35:16.440 --> 0:35:21.399
<v Speaker 4>About my first at bat the other day in Colorado,

0:35:22.440 --> 0:35:25.680
<v Speaker 4>you know against Lorenzen was a you know, three to two,

0:35:26.640 --> 0:35:29.600
<v Speaker 4>you know, seven to eight pitch at bat with two outs,

0:35:29.640 --> 0:35:31.560
<v Speaker 4>nobody on base, two outs, nobody on base, and the

0:35:31.600 --> 0:35:33.760
<v Speaker 4>I think his second inning, you know, grind.

0:35:33.600 --> 0:35:35.720
<v Speaker 10>It out, had a good at bat, took some good swings.

0:35:35.800 --> 0:35:38.360
<v Speaker 4>You know, I ended up putting the ball in play

0:35:38.840 --> 0:35:42.160
<v Speaker 4>to right field. You know, that wasn't super significant but

0:35:42.239 --> 0:35:44.000
<v Speaker 4>it's just like that's a great at bat, Like that's

0:35:44.040 --> 0:35:46.840
<v Speaker 4>a that's exactly. I just made him a little bit

0:35:46.880 --> 0:35:48.839
<v Speaker 4>more tired and made him have to exert a little

0:35:48.840 --> 0:35:51.040
<v Speaker 4>bit more energy. And then the next inning, sure enough,

0:35:51.040 --> 0:35:52.680
<v Speaker 4>we we go out there and put runs up on

0:35:52.680 --> 0:35:55.239
<v Speaker 4>the board. And you know that doesn't happen every time.

0:35:55.280 --> 0:35:58.200
<v Speaker 4>But it's just like that mindset of of of making

0:35:58.200 --> 0:36:00.879
<v Speaker 4>the picture, grind it out.

0:36:01.000 --> 0:36:02.239
<v Speaker 10>But also I'm ready to hit, you.

0:36:02.239 --> 0:36:03.640
<v Speaker 4>Know, so like if I get a cookie, if I

0:36:03.640 --> 0:36:05.839
<v Speaker 4>get I'm looking for a first pitch, you know, like

0:36:05.960 --> 0:36:08.319
<v Speaker 4>it all goes into it. So like I'm ready to hit,

0:36:09.360 --> 0:36:11.520
<v Speaker 4>you know, especially with kind of the more aggressive mindset

0:36:11.560 --> 0:36:12.439
<v Speaker 4>that I've had this year.

0:36:12.680 --> 0:36:15.040
<v Speaker 10>I'm ready to hit, but I'm only gonna hit my pitch.

0:36:15.200 --> 0:36:17.839
<v Speaker 4>And uh so that's the bottom line, and that's kind

0:36:17.840 --> 0:36:18.759
<v Speaker 4>of how I go about it.

0:36:18.880 --> 0:36:21.480
<v Speaker 7>What do you mean having a more aggressive mindset this year?

0:36:21.760 --> 0:36:24.440
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I think when you look at Alex called the

0:36:24.440 --> 0:36:28.120
<v Speaker 4>baseball player, uh you know, you're getting basically one of

0:36:28.120 --> 0:36:32.200
<v Speaker 4>the best two strike hitters in baseball, and I that

0:36:32.400 --> 0:36:35.400
<v Speaker 4>is something that I work on, I train on. You know,

0:36:35.440 --> 0:36:38.400
<v Speaker 4>two strike is the worst average count for everybody, but

0:36:38.520 --> 0:36:43.160
<v Speaker 4>for me, I'm I take I'm comfortable there. I'm comfortable there.

0:36:43.160 --> 0:36:44.560
<v Speaker 4>I know that I can put the bat on the ball.

0:36:44.600 --> 0:36:45.920
<v Speaker 4>I know what I can put the ball in play,

0:36:46.160 --> 0:36:49.520
<v Speaker 4>And so when you do that, there's just a comfort

0:36:49.560 --> 0:36:52.680
<v Speaker 4>level with that. So that's ultimately you know what you're

0:36:52.680 --> 0:36:57.120
<v Speaker 4>getting without it's called but the first couple pitches, the

0:36:57.239 --> 0:36:59.479
<v Speaker 4>oh count, the two oh count, the one oh count,

0:36:59.520 --> 0:37:03.320
<v Speaker 4>the three one count, that is where I believe as

0:37:03.920 --> 0:37:06.719
<v Speaker 4>the Dodgers came to me and I as I look

0:37:06.719 --> 0:37:09.040
<v Speaker 4>at myself from last year, that's like, hey, we can

0:37:09.040 --> 0:37:11.080
<v Speaker 4>improve there, Like we can improve there, Like that's a

0:37:11.160 --> 0:37:13.560
<v Speaker 4>time for you to sit on that heater and take

0:37:13.600 --> 0:37:15.520
<v Speaker 4>a great swing at it, like be ready for it,

0:37:15.640 --> 0:37:18.319
<v Speaker 4>be ready to rip it. And if you can just

0:37:18.400 --> 0:37:20.680
<v Speaker 4>do that and you know, add a little bit more

0:37:20.719 --> 0:37:24.520
<v Speaker 4>slug to your profile, well that just improves my value

0:37:24.560 --> 0:37:28.279
<v Speaker 4>as a player, my value for the team, and just

0:37:28.560 --> 0:37:31.120
<v Speaker 4>you know helps helps in any way possible. So when

0:37:31.120 --> 0:37:32.840
<v Speaker 4>you look at like what do I do best and

0:37:32.880 --> 0:37:35.359
<v Speaker 4>where can we improve, we identified like if I can

0:37:35.400 --> 0:37:37.960
<v Speaker 4>be just a little bit more aggressive on pitches that

0:37:38.000 --> 0:37:42.080
<v Speaker 4>I can handle, expect them, expect to drive them, then

0:37:42.080 --> 0:37:44.360
<v Speaker 4>there's opportunity for me to have more production, which is

0:37:44.360 --> 0:37:45.600
<v Speaker 4>good for the for everybody.

0:37:45.719 --> 0:37:48.319
<v Speaker 6>And that's a mindset, right, you have to go up

0:37:48.360 --> 0:37:51.360
<v Speaker 6>to the plate with that type of preparation exactly.

0:37:51.400 --> 0:37:54.840
<v Speaker 4>It's that type of preparation, the approach with that, and

0:37:54.840 --> 0:37:57.680
<v Speaker 4>then also the staff and the team being on the

0:37:57.719 --> 0:37:59.759
<v Speaker 4>same page, like, hey, this is what Alex is trying

0:37:59.800 --> 0:37:59.960
<v Speaker 4>to do.

0:38:00.080 --> 0:38:01.320
<v Speaker 10>This is where he's trying to improve.

0:38:01.880 --> 0:38:03.920
<v Speaker 4>We worked on that through spring training and the results

0:38:03.960 --> 0:38:06.840
<v Speaker 4>are pretty solid. So we're taking it into the season

0:38:06.880 --> 0:38:09.920
<v Speaker 4>and I've had the aggressive mindset to be ready on

0:38:09.960 --> 0:38:13.719
<v Speaker 4>pitch one. That doesn't mean that I, you know, take

0:38:13.760 --> 0:38:15.640
<v Speaker 4>a week swing like no, I'm trying to get my

0:38:15.680 --> 0:38:18.719
<v Speaker 4>best swing off. And you know, at the same time,

0:38:18.760 --> 0:38:20.560
<v Speaker 4>if I end up chasing a pitch or if like

0:38:20.880 --> 0:38:23.160
<v Speaker 4>you know, it doesn't look great, well, who cares because

0:38:23.160 --> 0:38:25.080
<v Speaker 4>I'm still the best two strike hit or there is

0:38:24.840 --> 0:38:28.640
<v Speaker 4>is how I think in my head, And so that's

0:38:28.719 --> 0:38:31.160
<v Speaker 4>just kind of building myself as a player in a

0:38:31.200 --> 0:38:34.440
<v Speaker 4>way to help our team get better. If every individual

0:38:34.480 --> 0:38:37.920
<v Speaker 4>can get better, then therefore the team gets better by default.

0:38:38.360 --> 0:38:41.160
<v Speaker 6>Alex calls our guest in front of first pitch Dodgers

0:38:41.239 --> 0:38:44.040
<v Speaker 6>Giants Game one of this three game series, alex is

0:38:44.080 --> 0:38:46.480
<v Speaker 6>starting in center field. You're a great guy to ask

0:38:46.520 --> 0:38:50.560
<v Speaker 6>this question too, because yesterday you're hitting second behind Shoeyotani

0:38:50.560 --> 0:38:53.719
<v Speaker 6>at Corus Field, and then today and some other days

0:38:53.760 --> 0:38:56.719
<v Speaker 6>you're hitting more towards the middle third, bottom third of

0:38:56.760 --> 0:39:00.760
<v Speaker 6>the order. Do you believe that every spot in lineup

0:39:00.800 --> 0:39:03.960
<v Speaker 6>has a certain responsibility or do you believe you just

0:39:04.000 --> 0:39:06.719
<v Speaker 6>have to be everything that you describe.

0:39:06.960 --> 0:39:08.000
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, it's a good question.

0:39:09.239 --> 0:39:11.080
<v Speaker 4>At the end of the day, my objective is to

0:39:11.120 --> 0:39:14.239
<v Speaker 4>get to first base. Like the name's baseball, you got

0:39:14.239 --> 0:39:16.520
<v Speaker 4>to get on base. So however I can get on base,

0:39:16.560 --> 0:39:17.920
<v Speaker 4>however I can take it good at bat.

0:39:18.160 --> 0:39:19.400
<v Speaker 10>It's kind of my mindset.

0:39:19.600 --> 0:39:22.719
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, there's some other intricacies and nuances to where you

0:39:22.800 --> 0:39:25.840
<v Speaker 4>hit in the order, but for the most part, the

0:39:25.880 --> 0:39:27.759
<v Speaker 4>objective is just gonna stay the same and get on

0:39:27.800 --> 0:39:28.279
<v Speaker 4>first base.

0:39:28.360 --> 0:39:28.560
<v Speaker 9>Now.

0:39:29.040 --> 0:39:32.640
<v Speaker 4>In a unique situation like yesterday when Rushing was up

0:39:33.080 --> 0:39:37.000
<v Speaker 4>with one out and runners on second and third, nobody

0:39:37.080 --> 0:39:40.960
<v Speaker 4>was on first. I was thinking in my head, I'm

0:39:41.000 --> 0:39:44.040
<v Speaker 4>in the hole right now. But if Rushing gets out here,

0:39:44.320 --> 0:39:47.279
<v Speaker 4>they are walking, show hey to pitch to me, and

0:39:47.360 --> 0:39:53.440
<v Speaker 4>so like being ready for that is really important because

0:39:53.680 --> 0:39:55.200
<v Speaker 4>it can happen really quick. It's like, Oh, all of

0:39:55.239 --> 0:39:57.080
<v Speaker 4>a sudden, I'm in the hole. Well now I'm not

0:39:57.120 --> 0:39:59.319
<v Speaker 4>on deck. I'm up because they're putting it right on,

0:39:59.360 --> 0:40:01.640
<v Speaker 4>so I don't have any you're ready, So like yesterday,

0:40:01.680 --> 0:40:05.319
<v Speaker 4>I switched my mindset to Okay, I'm preparing for this

0:40:05.480 --> 0:40:07.759
<v Speaker 4>situation to go out if rushing gets out right here,

0:40:07.840 --> 0:40:09.919
<v Speaker 4>they're walking show ay, So I'm on deck right now

0:40:10.080 --> 0:40:12.040
<v Speaker 4>and I'm getting ready to walk up to the plate.

0:40:12.280 --> 0:40:17.040
<v Speaker 4>And it sounds very small, but like the psychology of

0:40:17.120 --> 0:40:20.319
<v Speaker 4>that is something that's unique and doesn't happen a lot.

0:40:20.680 --> 0:40:23.719
<v Speaker 4>So it actually just having that extra three four five

0:40:23.719 --> 0:40:26.960
<v Speaker 4>seconds of realization of prep actually puts you in a better,

0:40:27.520 --> 0:40:30.120
<v Speaker 4>more prepared mindset. And then I was able to do

0:40:30.160 --> 0:40:32.359
<v Speaker 4>that and have a good at bat yesterday and get

0:40:32.360 --> 0:40:33.440
<v Speaker 4>the walk walk a guy in.

0:40:33.640 --> 0:40:33.920
<v Speaker 10>Yeah.

0:40:33.960 --> 0:40:36.720
<v Speaker 6>Hey, that's amazing because some of the best hitters have said,

0:40:37.000 --> 0:40:39.760
<v Speaker 6>you're at bat doesn't start when you're in the batter's

0:40:39.800 --> 0:40:42.600
<v Speaker 6>box or even on the on deck circle. It starts

0:40:42.600 --> 0:40:46.240
<v Speaker 6>in the dugout. It sounds like you've already won that game.

0:40:46.680 --> 0:40:46.919
<v Speaker 7>Yeah.

0:40:47.080 --> 0:40:51.480
<v Speaker 4>No, definitely, from understanding what the pitcher's doing, what he's throwing.

0:40:51.680 --> 0:40:54.120
<v Speaker 4>How he's going to try to attack us to seeing

0:40:54.800 --> 0:40:56.799
<v Speaker 4>is he is? You know, where's he throwing? What's his

0:40:56.880 --> 0:41:00.360
<v Speaker 4>stuff that day? But then even your your mindset in

0:41:00.400 --> 0:41:03.000
<v Speaker 4>the hole is different when it's on deck, and so

0:41:03.400 --> 0:41:06.040
<v Speaker 4>there's just a whole bevy of things that go into it,

0:41:06.080 --> 0:41:08.840
<v Speaker 4>and you know, everything is very important. It all contributes

0:41:08.880 --> 0:41:11.440
<v Speaker 4>to having the best chance at success when you're up

0:41:11.440 --> 0:41:11.839
<v Speaker 4>at the plate.

0:41:12.160 --> 0:41:16.280
<v Speaker 6>I know you were loving and embracing hitting behind Otani yesterday.

<v Speaker 8>Right, TC first pitch, fast approaching by the bay. Yoshinobu

0:45:09.880 --> 0:45:12.400
<v Speaker 8>Yamamoto for the Dodgers, land and Roope for the San

0:45:12.400 --> 0:45:15.560
<v Speaker 8>Francisco Giants. He has been really the ace of San

0:45:15.560 --> 0:45:18.760
<v Speaker 8>Francisco's staff to start the year, as Logan Webb has

0:45:18.880 --> 0:45:21.480
<v Speaker 8>struggled to get things going. But give me a key

0:45:21.520 --> 0:45:23.239
<v Speaker 8>tonight or perhaps a player to watch them.

0:45:23.560 --> 0:45:25.960
<v Speaker 9>Well, I think with Rufe, you've got to be able

0:45:26.000 --> 0:45:28.719
<v Speaker 9>to a adjust to the curb ball. Why it's got

0:45:28.719 --> 0:45:31.640
<v Speaker 9>the biggest horizontal break of any starting pitchers so far,

0:45:31.640 --> 0:45:33.799
<v Speaker 9>and he throws it forty two percent of the time

0:45:33.920 --> 0:45:36.400
<v Speaker 9>so far this season. The other part two is is

0:45:36.440 --> 0:45:38.520
<v Speaker 9>he can just stayed the same pattern with two strikes.

0:45:38.600 --> 0:45:42.120
<v Speaker 9>I mentioned that because so far in the four starts

0:45:42.120 --> 0:45:44.279
<v Speaker 9>when he's had two strikes on the hitter, he's come

0:45:44.360 --> 0:45:47.560
<v Speaker 9>up with a changeup over seventy percent of the pitches

0:45:47.600 --> 0:45:48.120
<v Speaker 9>he's thrown.

0:45:51.600 --> 0:45:57.239
