The A's meantime, have slipped 0:05:08.400 --> 0:05:11.400 into fourth place in the American League West, but there 0:05:11.400 --> 0:05:16.520 are only two games behind the newly leading Texas Rangers. 0:05:16.640 --> 0:05:20.440 Is that division has really tightened things up here? Pitching 0:05:20.440 --> 0:05:23.039 matchup tonight a battle of lefti's Eric Lauer at three 0:05:23.080 --> 0:05:27.280 and five four eighty seven is era gauge jump and 0:05:27.440 --> 0:05:29.880 rookie Lefty three and one with a two point zero 0:05:30.080 --> 0:05:33.480 four era. Oh, this is a franchise on the move. 0:05:33.920 --> 0:05:36.360 You can relate more than anybody because you were with 0:05:36.440 --> 0:05:40.120 the Athletics when they moved from Kansas City to Oakland. 0:05:40.600 --> 0:05:44.600 And the players really can't relate yet because they haven't 0:05:44.640 --> 0:05:46.919 moved to their final destination, which is Las Vegas. But 0:05:47.000 --> 0:05:48.560 you know what it was like going through with this 0:05:48.640 --> 0:05:50.160 particular franchise. 0:05:49.760 --> 0:05:50.279 For the A's. 0:05:50.400 --> 0:05:54.080 This isn't like a connecting flight in between going from 0:05:54.120 --> 0:05:57.279 Oakland to Las Vegas. I was not in that transition 0:05:57.279 --> 0:06:00.000 from Philadelphia to Kansas City, but from Kansas City to Oakland. 0:06:00.120 --> 0:06:01.880 Yes, it was one of those areas. 0:06:02.640 --> 0:06:06.720 What was really kind of refreshing last night arriving at 0:06:06.720 --> 0:06:10.560 the hotel downtown and then today too and leaving to 0:06:10.560 --> 0:06:13.159 come to the bomb Park has gone the tension of 0:06:13.160 --> 0:06:13.880 a lot of people here. 0:06:13.920 --> 0:06:15.120 Hey, the Los Angeles Dodgers. 0:06:15.160 --> 0:06:17.520 The back to back world champions are in town, and 0:06:17.560 --> 0:06:20.400 the Dodgers have lived up to that billing. You start 0:06:20.440 --> 0:06:22.000 to look at what they've done. As you mentioned, they're 0:06:22.000 --> 0:06:24.520 five and one on this road trip. They now won 0:06:24.600 --> 0:06:27.200 eight of the last nine road series that they play, 0:06:27.320 --> 0:06:30.000 going back to the fourth of May, during which time 0:06:30.000 --> 0:06:33.200 they've gone nineteen and nine on the roads. The bunk 0:06:33.279 --> 0:06:34.920 up it comes in has drawn a lot of interest. 0:06:34.960 --> 0:06:38.640 Obviously, Dodgers have been doing very well lately. Meantime, the 0:06:38.680 --> 0:06:42.000 Athletics have not been. They just had a disastrous road 0:06:42.040 --> 0:06:45.080 trip and fell from second place a half game behind 0:06:45.120 --> 0:06:49.560 Seattle when they left to two games out and in 0:06:49.720 --> 0:06:53.040 fourth place suddenly in the American League West. But they've 0:06:53.040 --> 0:06:55.240 got a lot of good young players and one guy 0:06:55.240 --> 0:06:57.760 to really watches, the first baseman, Nick Kurtz, who should 0:06:57.760 --> 0:07:00.599 be an All Star this year. Nineteen home runs, sixty 0:07:00.680 --> 0:07:03.360 four runs. Bat at him first basement's pretty good. 0:07:03.440 --> 0:07:06.000 Yeah, he's pretty good. The youngster we're going to see 0:07:06.040 --> 0:07:08.200 we talk more about him a little bit later on 0:07:08.279 --> 0:07:11.000 that being Gay's jump. He's caught the attention of a 0:07:11.000 --> 0:07:13.160 lot of people, and for very good reasons. But the 0:07:13.200 --> 0:07:15.600 A's trying to get back on the winning track. There 0:07:15.640 --> 0:07:18.360 are four games under five hundred. They had dropped now 0:07:18.480 --> 0:07:20.720 six of their last eight that they had been able 0:07:20.760 --> 0:07:24.720 to play. But still the numbers you were given, they're 0:07:24.760 --> 0:07:27.520 still knocking on the door for postseason play if they 0:07:27.520 --> 0:07:28.520 can get it into gear. 0:07:29.520 --> 0:07:32.760 We'll have some Major League history here, a little odd history, 0:07:32.840 --> 0:07:38.520 as Max Munsey will play third base in Batch seventh 0:07:38.880 --> 0:07:39.760 for both teams. 0:07:40.760 --> 0:07:43.080 Yeah, people are saying, well, wait a minute, there's a catch. 0:07:43.160 --> 0:07:45.560 You know, there's a catch. Two guys named Max Munsey 0:07:45.800 --> 0:07:47.880 both are going to play at third base, both batting 0:07:47.880 --> 0:07:49.280 in the same spot in the lineup. 0:07:49.720 --> 0:07:50.560 So we'll have to. 0:07:50.480 --> 0:07:54.360 Differentiate who's actually batting for that guy that's going down 0:07:54.400 --> 0:07:56.480 the freeway. Oh, months he's up. Oh and he hit 0:07:56.560 --> 0:07:58.800 one for the A's.

You know, they 0:10:33.920 --> 0:10:37.000 thought it was going to take potentially four or maybe 0:10:37.040 --> 0:10:39.280 for the four to six weeks or even more time 0:10:39.280 --> 0:10:41.720 because you never really know with a hamstring injury. But 0:10:42.120 --> 0:10:45.000 ultimately he's in a spot where he's one hundred percent 0:10:45.080 --> 0:10:47.480 ready to go. He's now back at essentially the four 0:10:47.520 --> 0:10:50.240 week mark. It's only when we were talking to him 0:10:50.240 --> 0:10:53.600 this afternoon as to how he's feeling and honestly how 0:10:53.720 --> 0:10:56.600 kind of quick this recovery had been. He shared that 0:10:56.640 --> 0:10:58.440 he felt due to the work he put it in 0:10:58.480 --> 0:11:00.480 the off season and as you remember, or like we 0:11:00.480 --> 0:11:03.800 were talking about all spring, is the weight that he's dropped. 0:11:03.840 --> 0:11:05.439 How he's really focused. 0:11:04.920 --> 0:11:07.199 On kind of how he's moving in the outfield, being 0:11:07.240 --> 0:11:09.880 faster that first step, especially coming off with a groin 0:11:09.920 --> 0:11:11.440 injury he dealt with last year. 0:11:11.840 --> 0:11:12.480 He said he. 0:11:12.480 --> 0:11:14.880 Thinks how he trained his body and prepared himself for 0:11:14.920 --> 0:11:17.800 this season that did help in his recovery to get 0:11:17.840 --> 0:11:20.160 him back on the field faster that at the three 0:11:20.200 --> 0:11:22.560 week week mark is when he felt one hundred percent. 0:11:22.679 --> 0:11:25.280 He then went on his rehab assignment. The power has 0:11:25.320 --> 0:11:28.000 been there with the swing, with the homelong ball. He 0:11:28.120 --> 0:11:30.320 still said he feels like he's kind of working on 0:11:30.360 --> 0:11:32.600 his timing and stuff at the plate, but he does 0:11:32.720 --> 0:11:35.640 feel like he's in a good spot to contribute to 0:11:35.640 --> 0:11:37.839 the offense and to be productive, and he's ultimately just 0:11:37.880 --> 0:11:38.640 happy to be back. 0:11:38.840 --> 0:11:41.160 Listening in the background, sounds like a lot of people 0:11:41.360 --> 0:11:43.880 ready to see this Dodger team in West Sacramento. 0:11:45.040 --> 0:11:48.079 When I tell you, obviously it's a more intimate ballpark, 0:11:48.120 --> 0:11:51.320 but they have the grass, think like Camelback Ranch, but 0:11:51.520 --> 0:11:55.520 it does technically have a second deck. But it's there's 0:11:55.559 --> 0:11:58.640 a lot of people. Even during batting practice had to 0:11:58.640 --> 0:12:00.000 have been like one hundred people on the field. 0:12:00.360 --> 0:12:01.040 It's insane. 0:12:01.160 --> 0:12:04.520 So I do believe it's I mean, I imagine it's 0:12:04.520 --> 0:12:07.280 a sellout, but I do think because it's an intimate experience, 0:12:07.320 --> 0:12:10.600 it's gonna feel a fun atmosphere. And even Dave was saying, like, 0:12:11.040 --> 0:12:14.160 you know, it's it's a cool place to experience. They 0:12:14.200 --> 0:12:16.520 did a great job with the clubhouse, they you know, 0:12:16.840 --> 0:12:19.480 we've this is now our second year in a row 0:12:19.520 --> 0:12:23.200 in which were playing in a minor league ballpark, because 0:12:23.240 --> 0:12:29.000 we played in Tampa at technically the Yankees facility. But honestly, 0:12:29.000 --> 0:12:31.480 they've done a great job, and so we have a 0:12:31.520 --> 0:12:33.760 few guys who have been here recently while they were 0:12:33.760 --> 0:12:36.480 in Triple A or even on the rehab assignment of sorts. 0:12:36.880 --> 0:12:39.440 So it should be interesting. From the pictures I've talked to, 0:12:39.600 --> 0:12:42.800 they said, of the or the minor league ballparks, it's 0:12:42.880 --> 0:12:45.760 not the one where the ball's flying out left and right, 0:12:45.880 --> 0:12:48.960 but it is one where things could get a little interesting. 0:12:49.760 --> 0:12:51.680 But they feel good as to kind of where things 0:12:51.679 --> 0:12:53.360 are at and how the ball's gonna play here. 0:12:53.440 --> 0:12:56.000 Ultimately, we'll see how many home runs are in fact 0:12:56.080 --> 0:12:57.960 hit over the next couple of days that ball does 0:12:57.960 --> 0:13:00.719 fly out of that ballpark. No, dek Here's we will 0:13:00.800 --> 0:13:02.040 check it with you after the game is still to 0:13:02.080 --> 0:13:04.080 come here.

Four good times. 0:13:41.320 --> 0:13:44.600 Eric Lower gains jump the pitching matchup. First pitch coming 0:13:44.640 --> 0:13:45.360 up at six forty. 0:13:46.679 --> 0:13:51.559 It's the LA Dodgers Injury Report present about UCLA healthy, 0:13:51.559 --> 0:13:53.640 official medical partner of the Los Angeles Dodgers. 0:13:53.640 --> 0:13:56.280 Good news to Oskar Hernandez activated off the injured list, 0:13:56.320 --> 0:13:57.120 back in the lineup. 0:13:57.400 --> 0:13:59.480 That means Ryan Ward got sent back to Triple A. 0:13:59.559 --> 0:14:01.599 Oklahom Citi, Will Smith on the I L with the 0:14:01.640 --> 0:14:04.079 net inflammation, he Ca Hernandez on the I L with 0:14:04.120 --> 0:14:07.559 the left oblique injury. Blake Snell Tyler Glass now both 0:14:07.800 --> 0:14:10.600 on the I L and when Diaz recovering from elbow 0:14:10.640 --> 0:14:13.439 surgery as well. Evan Phillips is getting close He's made 0:14:13.480 --> 0:14:15.360 a couple of appearances down in the minor leagues, a 0:14:15.400 --> 0:14:17.760 couple of updowns and back to back outings. Looks like 0:14:17.800 --> 0:14:21.600 he is trending to make a return here sooner. 0:14:21.440 --> 0:14:22.160 Rather than later. 0:14:22.240 --> 0:14:24.120 Let's head back up to Sacramento and check out the 0:14:24.120 --> 0:14:26.280 Dodgers skipper. 0:14:25.760 --> 0:14:30.760 Any questions for Dave Dave? Can you just describe Dave? 0:14:30.840 --> 0:14:32.640 Can you talk about the pressure. 0:14:33.080 --> 0:14:37.280 In the dugouts with Dave Roberts. 0:14:36.080 --> 0:14:41.960 Certainly good to get him back, you know, just consistency, 0:14:42.080 --> 0:14:45.120 the presence of having a middle of the order bat, 0:14:45.720 --> 0:14:48.600 certainly against two left left handers we got coming up 0:14:48.640 --> 0:14:54.040 these next couple of days. I think for me probably 0:14:54.840 --> 0:14:57.600 having him play the first two and then on Wednesday 0:14:58.440 --> 0:14:59.720 be available off the bench. 0:15:00.080 --> 0:15:02.640 You've seen different iterations of how you've kind of set 0:15:02.720 --> 0:15:04.400 up this lineup. I know there's a left down the 0:15:04.440 --> 0:15:07.359 mound today, but with him back, could you see potentially 0:15:07.360 --> 0:15:09.480 making adjustments to the construction of your lineup. 0:15:09.920 --> 0:15:10.120 Yeah. 0:15:10.400 --> 0:15:14.200 Yeah, it's sort of a kind of a day to 0:15:14.280 --> 0:15:20.800 day thing, you know, from five through nine essentially, So 0:15:21.600 --> 0:15:25.160 with Tayo in there, he'll probably hit you know five 0:15:25.280 --> 0:15:28.080 tomorrow as well, and then kind of with the right 0:15:28.120 --> 0:15:30.640 handed pitchers just trying to figure out where to kind 0:15:30.640 --> 0:15:34.000 of put Tao and Munsey and Tucker. That's kind of 0:15:34.000 --> 0:15:35.440 the decision point every day. 0:15:36.920 --> 0:15:40.120 What if you've heard about how this park plays, and 0:15:40.200 --> 0:15:42.520 do you have to make any adjustments accordingly? 0:15:42.920 --> 0:15:47.760 You know, I heard the ball flies. It's certainly going 0:15:47.840 --> 0:15:50.560 to be intimate, should be rowdy, it should be fun. 0:15:52.080 --> 0:15:54.560 I think you're just going to keep trying to tack 0:15:54.640 --> 0:16:00.120 on runs. I know they don't bun a lot, and 0:16:00.200 --> 0:16:02.880 if you are behind, just keep going. Because I'm not 0:16:02.920 --> 0:16:06.640 saying it's Denver, but I guess the ball does carried good. 0:16:08.840 --> 0:16:09.920 You know it could. 0:16:09.960 --> 0:16:11.880 But I still think these guys just got to make 0:16:11.920 --> 0:16:14.720 pitches and we'll kind of try to score more than 0:16:14.760 --> 0:16:14.960 they do. 0:16:15.520 --> 0:16:18.560 There any different preparation, but like the idea of trying 0:16:18.560 --> 0:16:19.520 to keep the ball on the ground. 0:16:19.560 --> 0:16:26.800 Warn no, no, I think you know there's the strengths. 0:16:26.800 --> 0:16:31.520 Weakness is part of attacking a particular hitter, but there's 0:16:31.640 --> 0:16:33.880 not I don't think there's going to be any more 0:16:34.960 --> 0:16:36.640 attempt to try to keep on the ground. 0:16:36.680 --> 0:16:39.320 Back all right, there's a manager, Dave Roberts, talking about 0:16:39.360 --> 0:16:42.400 the ball flying out of the ballparking Sacramento with the 0:16:42.520 --> 0:16:45.720 hot air and the certainly minor league facility. We'll continue 0:16:45.720 --> 0:16:48.360 here on Marongo Casino Dodgers on Deck and when we come. 0:16:48.200 --> 0:16:50.800 Back, we'll check you with V David Vance. 0:16:51.120 --> 0:16:52.560 So we lead you up to first pitch on this 0:16:52.640 --> 0:16:56.200 Monday at night from West Sacramento Dodgers and Athletics.

Here 0:17:44.640 --> 0:17:47.360 we are checking another box yesterday with the Dodger win, 0:17:47.560 --> 0:17:51.280 is Dave Roberts is getting closer and closer to a milestone. 0:17:51.600 --> 0:17:54.800 Yeah, that's right, only two wins away from one thousand 0:17:55.040 --> 0:17:59.280 in his managing career, and he probably will get those 0:17:59.359 --> 0:18:03.040 two and Sacramento and be able to celebrate at home 0:18:03.080 --> 0:18:07.359 when the Dodgers return on Thursday. But Dave Roberts is 0:18:07.520 --> 0:18:11.280 very aware that he's this close to such a milestone 0:18:11.280 --> 0:18:14.160 in his managing career that he even cut me off 0:18:14.280 --> 0:18:16.240 yesterday during the pregame session. 0:18:17.600 --> 0:18:20.159 Your first managerial win was here at Peco. 0:18:20.280 --> 0:18:26.959 It was a nothing, fifteen something win, fifteen nothing shut out, 0:18:27.640 --> 0:18:29.439 So you remember it, so you remember it? 0:18:29.520 --> 0:18:32.800 I heard vaguely, vaguely now it was. I mean, it 0:18:32.880 --> 0:18:35.920 was twenty sixteen. It was a beautiful day at Petco Park. 0:18:36.119 --> 0:18:40.560 The sun was out, now you know what kurse took 0:18:40.600 --> 0:18:43.120 them out? And yeah, you know, and I know I'm 0:18:43.160 --> 0:18:45.600 close to a thousand wins, which is bananas to even 0:18:45.640 --> 0:18:48.000 think about, but yeah, my first one was here and 0:18:48.880 --> 0:18:51.760 couldn't put a bow on it to win one thousand here, 0:18:51.800 --> 0:18:55.600 but a lot of gratefulness, a lot of great players, 0:18:55.600 --> 0:18:59.760 coaches and support for me.
