We got 0:01:35.680 --> 0:01:38.039 your Otani rewind coming up in just a few minutes. 0:01:38.200 --> 0:01:40.440 We will check in with Tim Neverett and Rick Monday 0:01:40.440 --> 0:01:44.120 out the Galloping Ford Broadcast booth. Well, yesterday at the Ravine, 0:01:44.520 --> 0:01:48.440 Scoob's got into trouble early before settling in Trek Scuoble 0:01:48.480 --> 0:01:51.680 in the first gave up three runs to the first 0:01:51.720 --> 0:01:53.680 five hitters of the game, and all of a sudden, 0:01:53.840 --> 0:01:56.600 the Dodgers early were down three to nothing to the 0:01:56.600 --> 0:02:01.080 Pittsburgh Pirates. However, Schooble will settle in retired twenty of 0:02:01.120 --> 0:02:03.880 his final twenty three batters, the left hander allowed just 0:02:03.960 --> 0:02:07.640 three runs on five hits over seven innings, just one walk. 0:02:07.960 --> 0:02:10.760 His strikeouts, well, they were one off the season high, 0:02:10.760 --> 0:02:14.280 two off his career best, as Scooble would strike out eleven. 0:02:14.000 --> 0:02:14.640 Along the way. 0:02:14.720 --> 0:02:17.600 Meanwhile, the Dodgers' offense needed to spin around the lineup 0:02:17.800 --> 0:02:20.600 to get after Jared Jones out of Lamarado High School, 0:02:20.639 --> 0:02:23.880 and finally in the fourth some command issues from Jones 0:02:23.919 --> 0:02:26.640 helped out the Dodgers, but start with Max Munsey's doubled 0:02:26.639 --> 0:02:29.880 down the right field line. Then Tommy Edmond took advantage 0:02:29.919 --> 0:02:33.280 of some well bad pitching from Jones. He walked two 0:02:33.320 --> 0:02:36.520 batters later, te Oscar Hernandez got the Dodgers on the board, 0:02:36.560 --> 0:02:38.840 Dodgers down three to one with the RBIs single. 0:02:39.160 --> 0:02:42.240 Then the newest Dodger, Alec Thomas. 0:02:42.400 --> 0:02:46.920 Welcome three two to Thomas. He swings hits a ground 0:02:46.919 --> 0:02:49.760 bowl into left field. At basic Tucker's gonna get waved around. 0:02:49.760 --> 0:02:52.720 He touches third. He is coming home. It's now a 0:02:52.800 --> 0:02:58.079 one run bowl game. Alec Thomas, well, this first hit 0:02:58.200 --> 0:03:00.720 is a Dodger. It produces a and makes it a 0:03:00.760 --> 0:03:01.679 one run ball game. 0:03:01.720 --> 0:03:05.360 It's three to two, Dodgers making a one run game. 0:03:05.560 --> 0:03:07.360 A fielder's choice, then a walk. 0:03:07.440 --> 0:03:11.040 Dodgers had their bases loaded for Freddie Freeman, but he 0:03:11.360 --> 0:03:13.480 flew out to left to end the threat and get 0:03:13.560 --> 0:03:15.840 Jones off the hook in the fourth. We fast forward 0:03:15.840 --> 0:03:18.960 to the bottom of the fifth, Dodgers down still three 0:03:19.040 --> 0:03:22.120 to two, when they took advantage of again some bad 0:03:22.160 --> 0:03:25.040 Pirates pitching. Mookie Betts hit by a pitch by Ramirez 0:03:25.080 --> 0:03:27.680 to lead off the inning. Max Munsey again, how about 0:03:27.680 --> 0:03:29.840 a double double animal style his second double down the 0:03:29.919 --> 0:03:33.200 right field line, Mookie Betts to third. Tommy Emmon grounded 0:03:33.200 --> 0:03:36.840 out to first, then runners on for Kyle Tucker, who 0:03:36.840 --> 0:03:39.800 has been struggling oer for twenty five at Dodgers Stadium. 0:03:39.880 --> 0:03:41.000 Come on, something gotta changed. 0:03:41.360 --> 0:03:44.360 Pirate right hander throws and Tucker hits it on the 0:03:44.360 --> 0:03:47.960 ground either the right peeld a basic Murky scores rounding 0:03:48.080 --> 0:03:49.000 third is month Sie. 0:03:49.280 --> 0:03:52.760 He will score. It's a two run, go ahead. 0:03:52.480 --> 0:03:56.120 Single for Kyle Tucker and the Dodgers lead. 0:03:56.000 --> 0:03:57.240 At four to three. 0:03:58.040 --> 0:04:00.320 Well, the Dodgers needed that hit of his late and 0:04:00.400 --> 0:04:01.800 so did Kyle Tucker. 0:04:02.520 --> 0:04:05.760 Kyle Tucker needed that base it certainly that ended at 0:04:05.800 --> 0:04:08.600 zero for twenty five stretch. That is the top tier 0:04:08.600 --> 0:04:10.680 play of the game, brought to by Arco Quality, top 0:04:10.720 --> 0:04:11.880 tier gas for less. 0:04:12.080 --> 0:04:13.520 As the Dodgers. 0:04:13.040 --> 0:04:15.880 Flipped the scoreboard there in the fifth inning, they take 0:04:16.160 --> 0:04:19.320 a four to two lead, four to three lead at 0:04:19.360 --> 0:04:22.320 that point. After the fifth and again Trek scouble settled in. 0:04:22.360 --> 0:04:24.960 He went to seven innings, didn't allow a run after 0:04:25.000 --> 0:04:27.880 that first inning. Evan Phillips came in along with Jack Dryer, 0:04:27.960 --> 0:04:30.599 got out of the eighth. Tanner Scott got the ninth 0:04:30.600 --> 0:04:33.440 inning and he would retire him in order Dodgers get 0:04:33.480 --> 0:04:36.919 the win four to three over the Pittsburgh Pirates. Trek 0:04:37.000 --> 0:04:39.720 scooble He's now eight and seven on this season, but 0:04:39.760 --> 0:04:42.960 more importantly, picks up his first win in four starts 0:04:43.000 --> 0:04:45.440 since coming over from the Tigers at the trade deadline. 0:04:45.480 --> 0:04:49.480 Tanner Scott don't look now, but he's got nineteen saves 0:04:49.960 --> 0:04:53.440 on this season, as the Dodgers have now won five 0:04:53.520 --> 0:04:54.320 in a row. 0:04:54.240 --> 0:04:56.440 For the first time since May. 0:04:56.560 --> 0:04:59.240 Yes, remember when everybody was freaking out about the Dodgers 0:04:59.279 --> 0:05:02.560 losing three four to the Milwaukee Brewers. Well, they've now 0:05:02.600 --> 0:05:05.960 swept the Colorado Rockies and today a chance to finish 0:05:06.040 --> 0:05:08.440 off the three games sweep of the Pittsburgh Pirates. The 0:05:08.480 --> 0:05:11.760 Dodgers seventy nine to fifty one, nine games up on 0:05:11.839 --> 0:05:15.360 San Diego, eleven games up on the Arizona Diamondbacks, and 0:05:15.400 --> 0:05:18.200 they've separated themselves between them and the Braves as far 0:05:18.240 --> 0:05:20.720 as the top two spots in the National League, with 0:05:20.760 --> 0:05:23.839 Milwaukee holding the top spot. Today, Blake Snell on the mound, 0:05:23.920 --> 0:05:25.720 first pitch of one ten and with more we head 0:05:25.760 --> 0:05:27.840 out to the Gallo before broadcast booth as we say 0:05:27.880 --> 0:05:29.960 good afternoon to Tim neverdet Rick Monday. 0:05:30.000 --> 0:05:31.960 Guys, Tim, thank you very much. 0:05:32.000 --> 0:05:36.039 Gorgeous afternoon, warm temperatures here at Dodgers Stadium as the 0:05:36.080 --> 0:05:38.640 Dodgers get sent to wrap up this three game series 0:05:38.680 --> 0:05:42.040 with the Pittsburgh Pirates, a chance for a sweep. Dodgers 0:05:42.040 --> 0:05:45.200 are seventy nine and fifty one, nine games in front 0:05:45.200 --> 0:05:47.400 of the Podres, four up on Atlanta, two and a 0:05:47.440 --> 0:05:51.040 half behind Milwaukee for the best record in the National League. 0:05:51.240 --> 0:05:54.479 Down to the five week mark remaining in the regular season, 0:05:54.560 --> 0:05:56.920 Dodgers now have won five in a row. They haven't 0:05:56.960 --> 0:06:00.479 won six straight since they won six in a row 0:06:00.560 --> 0:06:03.400 in May, and looking to do that today if they 0:06:03.400 --> 0:06:05.520 can get back to back sweeps put together. They just 0:06:05.520 --> 0:06:08.080 swept the Rockies and I have won two of the 0:06:08.080 --> 0:06:10.800 first two against the Pirates. The Pirates come in sixty 0:06:10.839 --> 0:06:13.080 three and sixty eight, eighteen and a half off the 0:06:13.120 --> 0:06:16.679 pace in the National League Central Division, and a loss 0:06:16.720 --> 0:06:19.760 today for Pittsburgh and a win for Cincinnati, they would 0:06:19.800 --> 0:06:22.400 flip flop in the standings and the Pirates would fall 0:06:22.440 --> 0:06:26.400 into the basement of the Central Division. Blake Snell the 0:06:26.480 --> 0:06:28.760 left hander on the mound. He is one and one 0:06:28.800 --> 0:06:31.799 with a three sixty ERA last time out against Colorado 0:06:31.960 --> 0:06:35.599 very good. Lake Baker will open his second game in 0:06:35.640 --> 0:06:38.880 a week. He opened against Boston last Sunday, and it'll 0:06:38.920 --> 0:06:43.240 be a bullpen game for the Pirates today. Last night, 0:06:43.279 --> 0:06:46.039 the Buckos had a lead of three to nothing in 0:06:46.120 --> 0:06:49.919 the first, but that was it. Once Trek Scougbel dialed 0:06:49.960 --> 0:06:53.920 in the Sites, he really bared down hard on the Pirates, 0:06:54.000 --> 0:06:57.599 retiring eighteen to the last nineteen he faced and got 0:06:57.600 --> 0:07:01.240 the win, his first as a Dodge. Jared Jones had 0:07:01.279 --> 0:07:04.120 a good start at the beginning, but then just fell 0:07:04.160 --> 0:07:07.360 apart in the fourth inning and the Dodgers took advantage 0:07:07.360 --> 0:07:11.120 for their thirty seventh come from behind win. Well, it 0:07:11.200 --> 0:07:13.520 was a good win, obviously, and he wins a good win, 0:07:13.600 --> 0:07:16.040 but a one run win for the Dodgers. They have 0:07:16.200 --> 0:07:19.080 more one run wins than anybody in baseball twenty six 0:07:19.560 --> 0:07:22.200 and they've played in more one run games than anybody 0:07:22.200 --> 0:07:23.720 in baseball forty four. 0:07:24.360 --> 0:07:26.720 They got the feeling. I remember about three weeks ago 0:07:26.760 --> 0:07:28.840 for Dave Roberts who was asked about his ball club, 0:07:28.840 --> 0:07:32.440 which basically they were marching in place, they weren't doing 0:07:32.480 --> 0:07:34.960 a whole lot sufficiently on a day in and day 0:07:35.040 --> 0:07:38.480 on basis, he used the word urgency. Well, from what 0:07:38.560 --> 0:07:40.640 I see now, this Dodger ball club is playing with 0:07:40.640 --> 0:07:43.040 a sense of urgency. As you mentioned, yes, five weeks 0:07:43.040 --> 0:07:46.920 from today the regular season concludes, and then well, which 0:07:47.000 --> 0:07:50.960 division is going to be representing themselves in postseason? Playing 0:07:50.960 --> 0:07:53.640 for the Dodgers leading by nine games in front of 0:07:53.680 --> 0:07:56.000 San Diego to lead the Nation League Western Division. I 0:07:56.040 --> 0:07:58.600 just get the feeling that this Dodger ball club right 0:07:58.640 --> 0:08:03.080 now is working on with more urgency, if you will, 0:08:03.160 --> 0:08:04.679 on the way that they're playing the game. 0:08:05.400 --> 0:08:08.679 So Manews to report on We understand that Andy Pie 0:08:08.680 --> 0:08:11.840 has did have some sort of medical procedure done on 0:08:11.960 --> 0:08:14.960 his hand with the fractures, perhaps a pin put in there. 0:08:15.040 --> 0:08:19.400 Dave Robbers telling us just moments ago that the procedure 0:08:19.440 --> 0:08:23.320 has already taken place, which means that his recovery period 0:08:23.360 --> 0:08:24.760 will start sooner than they thought. 0:08:24.880 --> 0:08:27.840 Yeah, so that came as a big surprise. Pleasant one too, 0:08:27.920 --> 0:08:31.240 because that will probably and most likely speed up the process. 0:08:31.240 --> 0:08:33.680 As they've said, it's either a pin or a screw. 0:08:33.800 --> 0:08:36.199 The other good news is is that Will Smith, who 0:08:36.200 --> 0:08:39.920 we saw him yesterday out here and working with Shoheo 0:08:40.040 --> 0:08:43.120 Tani was pitching. Will Smith, will be headed to Oklahoma 0:08:43.240 --> 0:08:47.200 City and start his rehab on Tuesdays. So guys are 0:08:47.200 --> 0:08:49.960 getting even closer and closer to getting back and getting healthier. 0:08:50.080 --> 0:08:52.920 Smith was running the bases out here earlier today, so 0:08:53.040 --> 0:08:55.640 Tuesday he'll start with Oklahoma City. We'll see how many 0:08:55.679 --> 0:08:58.079 swings he gets down there, but they do expect him 0:08:58.120 --> 0:09:00.400 back by the time the Dodgers get off this next 0:09:00.480 --> 0:09:03.719 road trip to Atlanta and Detroit. Also, one other thing, 0:09:03.840 --> 0:09:07.280 Eric Lower is in the Dodger bullpen right now for 0:09:07.480 --> 0:09:10.320 a paulk innings role. No word on whether he will 0:09:10.360 --> 0:09:12.840 start again this season, but they do expect him to 0:09:12.880 --> 0:09:16.040 be utilized as a long man for the remainder of 0:09:16.080 --> 0:09:19.040 the regular season and into the postseason. Blake Snell, Lake Baker, 0:09:19.160 --> 0:09:22.080 that's the pitching matchup to start the game. Dodgers going 0:09:22.120 --> 0:09:23.960 for a three game sweep over the Pirates. 0:09:24.040 --> 0:09:25.480 Timp All right, thank you guys. 0:09:25.480 --> 0:09:27.840 As we gutting down to first bitch on this Sunday, 0:09:27.840 --> 0:09:30.720 it's lunchtime, Dodger fans, what's your plans?

He did get on base twice via walk, 0:10:47.160 --> 0:10:49.640 but it oh for three day with a couple of strikeouts. 0:10:49.720 --> 0:10:50.160 For show. 0:10:50.400 --> 0:10:52.360 He's now hitting two eighty nine on this season, a 0:10:52.400 --> 0:10:56.800 three ninety one on base percentage. As show Hey Otani 0:10:56.840 --> 0:10:59.199 and the Dodgers got the win over the Pittsburgh Pirates 0:10:59.240 --> 0:11:00.240 yesterday four to three. 0:11:00.600 --> 0:11:04.440 This is Kirston's Corner with Kirston Watson. 0:11:04.880 --> 0:11:07.240 Hey Kirston, that joins us from the ravine. Brought to 0:11:07.280 --> 0:11:08.880 by Cars for Kids, the easiest way to get rid 0:11:08.880 --> 0:11:10.480 of your old car.

That's Cars with a K. 0:11:15.600 --> 0:11:17.199 All right, a couple of big things going on with 0:11:17.280 --> 0:11:19.319 the Dodgers are looking to win their sixth in a 0:11:19.440 --> 0:11:23.560 row today on this hot Sunday afternoon. Kirston first off show, Hey, 0:11:23.640 --> 0:11:26.280 oh Tony, how did he come out of that simulated 0:11:26.280 --> 0:11:27.440 innity pitch yesterday? 0:11:27.640 --> 0:11:30.440 Yeah, he pitched like thirty pitches. He came out of 0:11:30.480 --> 0:11:33.560 it really well. So Dave Roberts was saying that, you know, 0:11:33.760 --> 0:11:35.720 when it comes to show Hayes build up, they have 0:11:35.800 --> 0:11:38.160 made it clear that it's going to be a live 0:11:38.320 --> 0:11:40.199 maybe two lives, and then they're going to start building 0:11:40.240 --> 0:11:42.400 them up in games, similar to what we saw last 0:11:42.480 --> 0:11:45.720 year when he was finishing his just rehab from having. 0:11:45.480 --> 0:11:46.640 The surgery the year before. 0:11:47.559 --> 0:11:50.680 So Dave was saying, what's going to be next is 0:11:50.760 --> 0:11:53.280 likely going to be another bullpen in the actual pin 0:11:53.440 --> 0:11:57.240 that will be happening in Atlanta, and then after that 0:11:57.320 --> 0:11:59.400 when they'll see how he feels, and then they'll decide 0:11:59.440 --> 0:12:02.520 if it makes it to throw another live or if 0:12:02.559 --> 0:12:05.000 it makes sense to slot him back into the rotation 0:12:05.200 --> 0:12:08.040 to begin the build up in game. What we saw 0:12:08.120 --> 0:12:10.280 last year with show Hey, it was essentially like he 0:12:10.360 --> 0:12:12.720 threw an inning in a big league game twice and 0:12:12.800 --> 0:12:15.160 he would build up to about two innings, et cetera. 0:12:15.520 --> 0:12:17.720 But due to kind of where they are in the schedule, 0:12:17.880 --> 0:12:20.720 due to where Showhey's health is at as well, Dave 0:12:20.760 --> 0:12:22.080 Roberts said that they feel like that they can be 0:12:22.120 --> 0:12:24.760 a little bit more aggressive with him. So it will 0:12:24.800 --> 0:12:27.920 be interesting just to see what really comes next after 0:12:27.960 --> 0:12:30.800 that bullpen in Atlanta, it's going to another live or 0:12:30.800 --> 0:12:32.360 if they're going to slot him into the game. But 0:12:32.480 --> 0:12:34.520 Dave did make it clear that once the slot him 0:12:34.559 --> 0:12:36.880 into the game, we're going to be seeing Eric Lauer 0:12:37.040 --> 0:12:39.880 likely kind of piggyback behind him because one, of course, 0:12:39.960 --> 0:12:43.160 he's already built up. He is available in the bullpit 0:12:43.320 --> 0:12:46.959 now technically, but they like the idea of having him 0:12:47.000 --> 0:12:50.200 to protect and also protecting themselves so that Eric is 0:12:50.200 --> 0:12:52.360 available if need be to start as well. 0:12:52.640 --> 0:12:53.040 No doubt. 0:12:53.120 --> 0:12:55.560 What about the update on Andy pie Has, who of 0:12:55.559 --> 0:12:57.959 course on the injured list now with the hand injury. 0:12:58.440 --> 0:13:00.720 Yeah, so of course we saw Into getting hit by 0:13:00.760 --> 0:13:04.360 that pitch on his left hand on Friday night and 0:13:04.559 --> 0:13:06.559 immediately we knew it was an ideal. He tried to 0:13:06.559 --> 0:13:08.920 stay out there, but of course afterwards we found out 0:13:08.920 --> 0:13:11.240 that he's dealing with a hand fracture. So Dave Roberts 0:13:11.280 --> 0:13:15.280 today said that yesterday morning he had a smallish procedure 0:13:15.360 --> 0:13:17.959 to put a pin in his hand. They're still hopeful, 0:13:18.040 --> 0:13:20.480 otimistic that he will be returning. They're still sticking to 0:13:20.520 --> 0:13:23.360 that four to six week timeline and just making sure 0:13:23.400 --> 0:13:25.560 that one he's ready to start swinging the back with 0:13:25.640 --> 0:13:28.160 the swinging the bat excuse me, when his hand is healed, 0:13:28.440 --> 0:13:31.600 that he is using the traject machine getting into live 0:13:31.760 --> 0:13:34.400 so that he's kind of keeping himself in a position 0:13:34.520 --> 0:13:37.640 to be ready come October. So we know how valuable 0:13:37.640 --> 0:13:40.360 he has been to this lineup, whether it's batting second 0:13:40.480 --> 0:13:41.280 or towards the top. 0:13:41.160 --> 0:13:41.720 Of the order. 0:13:42.120 --> 0:13:44.040 We saw what he did to start this season having 0:13:44.080 --> 0:13:47.160 an All Star campaign, So for him, it's just finding 0:13:47.200 --> 0:13:49.240 ways to make sure they can get that defense and 0:13:49.320 --> 0:13:52.320 his bat into the lineup again because there it's going 0:13:52.400 --> 0:13:54.800 to be a tough one without him trying to replace that, 0:13:55.000 --> 0:13:56.920 So things are going to look a little bit different 0:13:57.000 --> 0:13:59.480 while he is down. Right today and even last night 0:13:59.520 --> 0:14:01.720 we saw that Alec Thomas is going to be in center, 0:14:02.000 --> 0:14:04.360 but Dave said there will be times that it's Alec 0:14:04.400 --> 0:14:06.160 when there is a righty on the mound, but then 0:14:06.240 --> 0:14:09.120 we could see Tommy or Key Gay in center when 0:14:09.120 --> 0:14:11.560 there's a left on lefty on the mound. So they're 0:14:11.640 --> 0:14:13.880 just kind of we'll be seeing some different things with 0:14:14.000 --> 0:14:17.400 the lineup, just while they're trying to offset the time 0:14:17.440 --> 0:14:19.440 in which Andy is down. But they still at this 0:14:19.520 --> 0:14:22.320 moment feel very hopeful that he will be returning this season. 0:14:22.480 --> 0:14:24.240 All right, Kiers, it's suposed to be one hundred degrees 0:14:24.280 --> 0:14:26.040 on the field here with first bitch of one o'clock, 0:14:26.120 --> 0:14:28.520 somebody gets you an umbrella, and I hope you're hydrating. 0:14:29.040 --> 0:14:29.960 I am hydrating. 0:14:30.040 --> 0:14:33.040 I've got literally like three drinks with me, I've got electrolytes. 0:14:33.440 --> 0:14:37.480 I have a fan with a mister. But will you 0:14:37.520 --> 0:14:40.760 know what's sad? Because of how the seats are set 0:14:40.800 --> 0:14:43.160 up at Dodger Stadium, I can't put an umbrella. No, 0:14:43.360 --> 0:14:46.000 so it would block the view from the people in 0:14:46.040 --> 0:14:48.400 the first row. And obviously those seats are so expensive, 0:14:48.520 --> 0:14:50.680 so I can't That would be so rude of me. 0:14:50.760 --> 0:14:51.560 So I can't do that. 0:14:51.680 --> 0:14:55.560 So I'll just be like layering on sunscreen every hour, 0:14:55.720 --> 0:14:57.800 maybe forty five minutes. I think that's a correct thing 0:14:57.840 --> 0:14:58.160 to say. 0:14:59.520 --> 0:15:02.000 How about one of those hats the high school football 0:15:02.000 --> 0:15:02.760 coaches all, well. 0:15:02.720 --> 0:15:04.880 Yes, you know what, I'm gonna give me a bucket hat. 0:15:05.160 --> 0:15:06.880 So you'll see me down there with a little bucket hat. 0:15:07.000 --> 0:15:07.920 I'll be fine, all. 0:15:07.840 --> 0:15:10.080 Right, We'll stay cool, hydrate, and we'll keep an eye 0:15:10.080 --> 0:15:12.240 on you down there next to the Dodgers duguy, and 0:15:12.280 --> 0:15:13.880 we'll check you with you after the game still to 0:15:13.880 --> 0:15:15.040 come here on Marongo Casino. 0:15:15.080 --> 0:15:15.840 Dodgers on Deck. 0:15:15.680 --> 0:15:18.040 Will dive deep into this pitching matchup.

All right, 0:16:40.000 --> 0:16:41.520 let's head back out to the ravine and check in 0:16:41.600 --> 0:16:42.440 with the Dodger skipper. 0:16:42.720 --> 0:16:45.560 Any questions for Dave? 0:16:45.640 --> 0:16:45.840 Dave? 0:16:45.920 --> 0:16:47.760 Can you just describe Dave? 0:16:47.800 --> 0:16:49.680 Can you talk about the pressure. 0:16:50.080 --> 0:16:52.520 In the dugouts with Dave Roberts? 0:16:53.000 --> 0:17:00.400 The next step will be another bullpen, probably in Atlanta, 0:17:01.240 --> 0:17:03.080 and then I think at that point in time it 0:17:03.120 --> 0:17:06.920 would be alive or in the game in a game. 0:17:07.880 --> 0:17:11.080 Oh, we've seen him build up before, and how about 0:17:11.160 --> 0:17:14.120 how valuable was that? Just learning last year of seeing 0:17:14.160 --> 0:17:15.920 him go inning by inning and then you look at 0:17:15.960 --> 0:17:18.400 the rotator not even the rotation of the pitching staff that. 0:17:18.400 --> 0:17:21.560 You have options like and Eric Lawer or people. 0:17:21.359 --> 0:17:23.640 Who provide length. How valuable is that just right now 0:17:23.680 --> 0:17:24.679 as he is building up? 0:17:25.200 --> 0:17:28.840 Yeah, it's great. Obviously we've got Glass coming back, we 0:17:28.960 --> 0:17:33.040 have lower with length, and so to then have the 0:17:33.200 --> 0:17:39.119 opportunity the flexibility to insert show hey to you know, 0:17:39.200 --> 0:17:42.000 build up like you did last year, I think is 0:17:42.400 --> 0:17:45.879 a huge benefit. You know, both ways, and again having 0:17:45.960 --> 0:17:50.320 guys like lower certainly behind them is uh makes it 0:17:50.359 --> 0:17:52.400 that much a software landing for show? 0:17:52.400 --> 0:17:53.919 Hey, what with the terminal? 0:17:54.000 --> 0:17:55.960 It's a live or in gamers. 0:17:55.840 --> 0:17:57.639 I think it's more of how the pen goes, and 0:17:57.680 --> 0:18:00.640 I think and and also more so to be quiet 0:18:00.680 --> 0:18:03.280 on it's how show he feels if if he feels 0:18:03.320 --> 0:18:05.920 like you know, I feel like I can he can 0:18:05.960 --> 0:18:09.800 take on the game and thrown inning great and you 0:18:09.800 --> 0:18:12.240 know how it lines up versus I might need to 0:18:12.600 --> 0:18:13.520 see some more hitters. 0:18:14.160 --> 0:18:17.040 All right, there's a manager Dave Roberts on show, Hey, Otani, 0:18:17.160 --> 0:18:20.439 who is gonna throw another bit of bullpen session and 0:18:20.560 --> 0:18:23.800 everything checks off. There sounds like it's back to the 0:18:23.880 --> 0:18:27.720 rotation for show. Hey, slow build up still, but back 0:18:27.760 --> 0:18:30.159 to the rotation when we continue here, I'm wrong with 0:18:30.160 --> 0:18:32.560
