Justin Robleski got the star of 0:01:59.860 --> 0:02:02.120 the left-hander who was so good. The first half of 0:02:02.170 --> 0:02:04.930 the season looking to regain that form here in September, 0:02:05.290 --> 0:02:09.850 Robo went three shutout Indians yesterday did not allow a hit. 0:02:09.870 --> 0:02:12.490 He struck out three before turning it over to the bullpen. 0:02:12.510 --> 0:02:15.170 The rest of the way, the Dodgers offense, meanwhile, Jumped 0:02:15.270 --> 0:02:18.410 on red starter Brady Singer early and often. 0:02:18.450 --> 0:02:21.550 And the first runner on for the Red Hot, Kyle Tucker. 0:02:21.570 --> 0:02:25.190 3-1 offer out of the stretch. And Tucker swings, hits 0:02:25.210 --> 0:02:27.710 the ball well to right center field. It is deep, 0:02:27.810 --> 0:02:29.350 it is back, and it is gone. 0:02:29.370 --> 0:02:30.150 A home run. 0:02:30.570 --> 0:02:34.950 Kyle Tucker, home run number 16. And the Dodgers strike 0:02:35.050 --> 0:02:36.589 first today in Cincinnati. 0:02:36.650 --> 0:02:37.690 It is 2-0. 0:02:40.570 --> 0:02:44.120 Well, we were talking about The frequency of home runs 0:02:44.340 --> 0:02:47.580 given up by the starting pitcher for the Reds, Brady Sager. 0:02:48.160 --> 0:02:50.260 That is number 31. 0:02:50.260 --> 0:02:53.400 All hail King Tuck. Kyle Tucker, two-run home run, his 0:02:53.740 --> 0:02:56.740 16th of the season. Dodgers a 2-0 lead in the second. 0:02:56.780 --> 0:02:59.860 Freddie Freeman, the sack fly, made it 3-0. Then Kyle Tucker, 0:02:59.880 --> 0:03:02.360 an RBI double, made it 4-0. And in the fourth, 0:03:02.660 --> 0:03:05.350 Dodgers really opened it up. Max Muncy, two-run double down 0:03:05.370 --> 0:03:08.750 the right field line, followed by Osweida Paula, RBI single. 0:03:08.790 --> 0:03:11.370 Dodgers tacked on three more in the inning today. As 0:03:11.410 --> 0:03:15.450 they Dodgers took a seven to one lead, Justin Robleski, 0:03:15.490 --> 0:03:17.750 the three shutout innings, Blake trying and gave up a 0:03:17.790 --> 0:03:19.890 run in the fourth, then turned over to land and 0:03:19.950 --> 0:03:22.310 NAC who pitched four scoreless innings while taking down the 0:03:22.370 --> 0:03:24.790 bulk of the game. Dodgers were up eight to one 0:03:24.810 --> 0:03:27.350 in the ninth after Miguel Rojas home run. So on 0:03:27.380 --> 0:03:30.060 the bottom of the ninth, Seth Halverson on and relief, 0:03:30.280 --> 0:03:32.540 he gave up a run to make it eight to two, 0:03:32.780 --> 0:03:36.820 but limited the damage and the Dodgers then one out 0:03:36.860 --> 0:03:38.779 away from celebration. 0:03:40.180 --> 0:03:42.350 And Halverson ready to throw the 2-2 pitch. 0:03:42.400 --> 0:03:44.600 Here it is. Swung on and missed. 0:03:44.620 --> 0:03:45.700 Strike three. 0:03:46.100 --> 0:03:47.780 And for the 13th time in. 0:03:47.760 --> 0:03:51.620 The last 14 years, the Dodgers are champions of the 0:03:51.660 --> 0:03:57.320 National League Western Division. The Dodgers get it done here 0:03:57.380 --> 0:04:02.360 on getaway day, defeating the Reds 8-2. And once again, 0:04:03.000 --> 0:04:05.160 clinching the National League West title. 0:04:06.270 --> 0:04:10.930 Dodgers clinching the NL West again, never gets old for 0:04:10.970 --> 0:04:14.130 the 13th time in the 14 years Dodgers with the 0:04:14.150 --> 0:04:16.510 wind yesterday, eight to two over the reds. And that 0:04:16.550 --> 0:04:17.800 is the top tier player of the game brought to 0:04:17.810 --> 0:04:20.760 you by Arco quality, top tier gas for less Dodgers 0:04:20.779 --> 0:04:24.060 with the celebration in the clubhouse afterwards and rightfully so, 0:04:24.520 --> 0:04:25.840 but also keep it in mind. 0:04:25.900 --> 0:04:27.039 This is just the beginning. 0:04:27.080 --> 0:04:28.980 Dodgers now need to secure one of those top two 0:04:29.020 --> 0:04:31.400 spots in the national league. To avoid playing in the 0:04:31.440 --> 0:04:35.060 wild card round, nine games remain in the regular season. Tonight, 0:04:35.380 --> 0:04:37.500 they start the final homestand of the regular season with 0:04:37.520 --> 0:04:40.179 the first to three against the San Francisco Giants. 0:04:40.220 --> 0:04:41.620 Tyler Glass now on the mound. 0:04:41.660 --> 0:04:44.220 First pitch coming up at 7.15. And with more, we 0:04:44.260 --> 0:04:46.360 head out to the Galpin Ford broadcast booth on this 0:04:46.400 --> 0:04:49.380 Friday night as we say hello to Charlie Steiner and 0:04:49.420 --> 0:04:50.260 Rick Monday, guys. 0:04:50.279 --> 0:04:53.320 All right, Tim, the Dodgers are back home a day 0:04:53.430 --> 0:04:56.010 after clenching yet another division title. 0:04:56.029 --> 0:04:56.080 13-7. 0:04:57.370 --> 0:05:01.330 In the last 14 seasons after the 8-2 win over 0:05:01.370 --> 0:05:03.050 the Reds in Cincinnati. 0:05:03.550 --> 0:05:04.669 It has been a year. 0:05:04.490 --> 0:05:07.580 Basically from wall to wall has been the Dodgers. They 0:05:07.620 --> 0:05:10.220 have spent a grand total of six days out of 0:05:10.279 --> 0:05:13.860 first place. Two days in April, four days in May, 0:05:14.120 --> 0:05:17.110 and they otherwise have lived in the penthouse all year 0:05:17.190 --> 0:05:21.250 long Looking back briefly, Mo, on the season that was 0:05:21.310 --> 0:05:24.210 in our rearview mirror, your assessment of where they are now. 0:05:24.650 --> 0:05:25.450 It's a good beginning. 0:05:25.990 --> 0:05:28.420 I'd say a good beginning because the Dodgers and Dave 0:05:28.450 --> 0:05:31.440 Roberts was talking about it directly. He said, other than 0:05:31.460 --> 0:05:34.360 the starting pitching, there are some areas that need to 0:05:34.400 --> 0:05:37.099 be polished. They need to be kind of upgraded. If 0:05:37.120 --> 0:05:39.950 you look at the offense, it's been inconsistent. If you 0:05:39.970 --> 0:05:43.400 look at the bullpen, it's been rather inconsistent. the offense 0:05:43.460 --> 0:05:47.190 from a run scoring situation has been inconsistent, particularly with 0:05:47.230 --> 0:05:50.470 runners in scoring positions. So the Dodgers, while they clinched 0:05:50.510 --> 0:05:53.770 the West, keep in mind folks, they still want to 0:05:53.810 --> 0:05:55.890 be one of the top two teams at least. They 0:05:55.910 --> 0:05:57.390 would like to wind up with the best record of 0:05:57.410 --> 0:06:00.750 the National League. They want to avoid having to play 0:06:00.850 --> 0:06:03.690 in a wild card series. And for the Dodgers, it 0:06:03.750 --> 0:06:06.099 is very important now to keep their foot on the 0:06:06.140 --> 0:06:07.880 pedal and win a few more ball games. 0:06:08.140 --> 0:06:11.300 That wild card series. Here's a question for you. Dodgers 0:06:11.480 --> 0:06:16.179 in the Win the division or the second seed. Then 0:06:16.560 --> 0:06:20.960 who do they play? What's better for them? Either Cubs 0:06:21.020 --> 0:06:25.260 or Phillies or the Padres or Braves. None of them 0:06:25.320 --> 0:06:30.770 are easy, but those are two difficult matchups. And the Dodgers, 0:06:31.330 --> 0:06:34.670 maybe it's better that they finish second. Well, yeah. 0:06:34.770 --> 0:06:37.169 And the other part, too, is here's another reason they 0:06:37.190 --> 0:06:39.250 want to avoid the wild card. You've got a couple 0:06:39.270 --> 0:06:40.770 of guys who are still trying to come back. 0:06:40.890 --> 0:06:41.490 Actually, three. 0:06:42.339 --> 0:06:46.140 Shohei Otani has not taken live batting practice yet. He's 0:06:46.180 --> 0:06:47.400 been hitting off of a coach. 0:06:47.740 --> 0:06:49.599 Okay, fine. That's coming around. 0:06:50.020 --> 0:06:53.080 It's expected that Andy Pajas will be activated on this 0:06:53.190 --> 0:06:57.830 sometime during the final regular season homestand. Dalton Rushing, is 0:06:57.850 --> 0:06:59.650 there a possibility he could come back? 0:06:59.710 --> 0:07:00.730 Well, all well and good. 0:07:01.150 --> 0:07:03.109 So knowing that there are some guys waiting in the 0:07:03.150 --> 0:07:05.170 wings to try and get ready, here's the other part. 0:07:05.510 --> 0:07:09.410 You know, the wild card series begins on Tuesday, September 29th, 0:07:09.770 --> 0:07:13.990 two days after the regular season. The National League Division 0:07:14.050 --> 0:07:18.710 Series does not start until Saturday, October 3rd. The Dodgers 0:07:18.750 --> 0:07:21.570 would prefer to have the extra days to help those 0:07:21.610 --> 0:07:23.290 guys get healthy and off the aisle. 0:07:23.410 --> 0:07:24.410 And this is not a scoop. 0:07:24.450 --> 0:07:27.600 The Dodgers are not exactly a young team. They need 0:07:27.630 --> 0:07:28.260 this rest. 0:07:28.360 --> 0:07:31.060 Yeah, and I think they need a moment or two 0:07:31.680 --> 0:07:34.920 to just kind of reset on a lot of different areas. 0:07:34.940 --> 0:07:37.000 This is a very talented team. There's no ifs, ands, 0:07:37.060 --> 0:07:39.350 and buts about it. And I really like the fact 0:07:39.390 --> 0:07:41.640 that a couple of guys were talking about how special 0:07:41.680 --> 0:07:45.460 it was yesterday in that postgame celebration. Max Muncy and 0:07:45.480 --> 0:07:48.400 then also with Mookie Betts. And Betts saying, you know, 0:07:48.640 --> 0:07:51.340 what really makes this special is because it is very special. 0:07:51.420 --> 0:07:53.810 And not every team is going to have the opportunity 0:07:54.050 --> 0:07:55.450 to even go to postseason play. 0:07:55.630 --> 0:07:58.790 And it's a unified group. It's been together for a while. 0:07:58.830 --> 0:08:02.170 And so three-peating certainly is an enormous task. 0:08:02.650 --> 0:08:03.850 They've done it together. 0:08:04.130 --> 0:08:06.390 Yeah, and the other part that Mookie says, he says, 0:08:06.510 --> 0:08:10.150 we don't take this for granted, but we expect it 0:08:10.270 --> 0:08:11.010 from one another. 0:08:11.750 --> 0:08:14.080 So it's the Giants and the Dodgers, the first of 0:08:14.160 --> 0:08:17.240 a three-game series. The Dodgers are back home with just 0:08:17.320 --> 0:08:20.650 nine games left in the regular season. It's going to 0:08:20.690 --> 0:08:24.850 be Cesar Perdomo for the Giants. And Tyler Glasnow is 0:08:24.870 --> 0:08:27.530 going to pitch for the Dodgers tonight. We'll detail that 0:08:27.570 --> 0:08:29.710 pitching matchup a little later on in the hour, Tim. 0:08:30.010 --> 0:08:30.270 All right. 0:08:30.300 --> 0:08:30.920 Thank you, Charlie. 0:08:30.950 --> 0:08:33.280 As we count you down to first pitch, Dodger fans, 0:08:33.600 --> 0:08:36.339 it's dinner time.

What 0:10:21.210 --> 0:10:23.610 has made this year just so special with you all 0:10:23.630 --> 0:10:25.870 being now officially NL West champions? 0:10:26.470 --> 0:10:31.770 I mean, it's everything that we've been going through throughout 0:10:31.790 --> 0:10:35.410 the year. And being able to be in first place 0:10:35.450 --> 0:10:39.880 and win the division, and getting everybody healthy back again 0:10:39.910 --> 0:10:42.580 at the end of the season, that's what this is 0:10:42.640 --> 0:10:46.580 all about. Obviously, we're going to celebrate today. We've got 0:10:46.600 --> 0:10:49.520 to catch a flight today to go back home and 0:10:49.580 --> 0:10:53.059 play tomorrow, but we're going to enjoy this one because 0:10:53.330 --> 0:10:54.710 you don't know when it's going to be the last one. 0:10:54.990 --> 0:10:57.470 Your bat has come to life over the last few weeks. 0:10:57.490 --> 0:10:58.309 You've been red hot. 0:10:58.330 --> 0:11:01.650 When you think about October now really only being like 0:11:01.650 --> 0:11:03.809 10 games away, does that excite you personally for what 0:11:03.850 --> 0:11:05.090 you're hoping to bring to this team? 0:11:05.730 --> 0:11:09.080 Yeah, I feel really good right now. Thank God that 0:11:09.270 --> 0:11:22.850 everything has come together. And that's a really cold. But, 0:11:23.110 --> 0:11:27.050 you know, it's been a really, really good last, like, 0:11:27.050 --> 0:11:31.930 30 games. My job right now is to try to 0:11:31.960 --> 0:11:34.880 keep that pace into the playoff and just. 0:11:38.190 --> 0:11:41.370 Okay, but let's be honest. With how hot it was 0:11:41.450 --> 0:11:43.730 out there, this has probably never felt better. 0:11:44.690 --> 0:11:45.630 It doesn't feel that bad. 0:11:46.250 --> 0:11:48.429 It's just burning a little bit in my face, but 0:11:48.990 --> 0:11:49.470 I take it. 0:11:49.570 --> 0:11:51.380 I take it. Just for today, though. Just for today. 0:11:51.720 --> 0:11:54.040 Well, you got hopefully a lot more celebrating to come. 0:11:54.120 --> 0:11:57.880 Teo, congratulations. And hey, get ready.

Andy Pahez on the IEL with the 0:14:44.160 --> 0:14:46.590 fractured left hand. More on that coming up with David Vasse. 0:14:46.890 --> 0:14:49.410 He's got an exclusive. Dalton Rushing on the IEL with 0:14:49.430 --> 0:14:52.450 the right elbow discomfort. He had a little work done 0:14:52.490 --> 0:14:53.110 on the elbow to. 0:14:53.090 --> 0:14:53.910 Try to strengthen it up. 0:14:53.950 --> 0:14:57.310 He's trying still somehow to get back before the regular 0:14:57.350 --> 0:14:59.570 season ends. Shohei Otani still on the IEL with the 0:14:59.610 --> 0:15:01.650 sore knee, elbow, and the neck. Eric Lauer on the 0:15:01.670 --> 0:15:05.050 60-day IEL.

Of course, let's head back out 0:15:16.560 --> 0:15:19.020 to the ravine as we check in with the Dodger manager, Dave. 0:15:19.040 --> 0:15:20.400 Dave, do you. 0:15:20.320 --> 0:15:21.720 Think questions for Dave? 0:15:21.800 --> 0:15:24.820 Dave, can you just describe Dave? Can you talk about 0:15:24.860 --> 0:15:25.800 the pressure. 0:15:26.340 --> 0:15:29.680 In the dugout with Dave Roberts brought to you by 0:15:29.720 --> 0:15:34.520 Concordia university, Irvine's masters in coaching and athletics administration. 0:15:36.380 --> 0:15:40.800 Dave, what's the latest on showing what you've seen today, 0:15:40.860 --> 0:15:44.140 what you've heard today as far as his progression? 0:15:45.220 --> 0:15:49.100 Hit today. Came out of it well. I think for me, 0:15:49.140 --> 0:15:52.700 I'm just really waiting to hear when he's going to 0:15:52.720 --> 0:15:57.280 get on the field or let alone take live VP 0:15:57.440 --> 0:16:02.120 or traject. And he's not there yet. But everything I've heard, 0:16:02.340 --> 0:16:06.100 it's been a really productive last week. three to four 0:16:06.120 --> 0:16:15.000 to five days. He's in a good spot. You know, 0:16:15.710 --> 0:16:23.070 I think it's no matter what I say, it really 0:16:23.130 --> 0:16:25.790 doesn't matter in the sense of it's what he feels 0:16:25.870 --> 0:16:30.150 good with, what gets him ready. So I could say 10, 0:16:30.130 --> 0:16:36.520 but it could be 12. But Yeah, I think for me, 0:16:37.020 --> 0:16:40.000 if I'm just kind of spitballing, I think that 10 0:16:40.000 --> 0:16:41.220 to 12 would be great. 0:16:42.140 --> 0:16:44.620 How do you keep the team motivated during these last weeks? 0:16:45.210 --> 0:16:47.990 So you took me off a coach? Is that what 0:16:48.010 --> 0:16:48.610 happened today? 0:16:48.630 --> 0:16:51.710 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Thank you. How do you keep the 0:16:51.730 --> 0:16:53.430 team motivated in these last weeks? 0:16:56.270 --> 0:16:59.910 Just play to keep them focused on playing good baseball. 0:17:00.740 --> 0:17:02.660 We still have a lot of work to do to 0:17:02.700 --> 0:17:04.980 try to get one of these top two seeds, which 0:17:05.040 --> 0:17:09.740 I do think is important. And our guys understand that. 0:17:09.859 --> 0:17:13.080 So winning the division is great. But like I said 0:17:13.100 --> 0:17:15.270 the other day, I still think our best baseball is 0:17:15.290 --> 0:17:15.669 ahead of us. 0:17:16.090 --> 0:17:18.970 Dave, as you balance these final nine games, what is 0:17:19.030 --> 0:17:21.729 the priority? Is it the one seed or two seed 0:17:21.810 --> 0:17:26.540 or health or rotation set up? What's your priority? 0:17:28.680 --> 0:17:32.960 Yeah, I think that it's not as much the rotation. 0:17:32.980 --> 0:17:42.400 I think it's about winning games all the while, making sure, obviously, 0:17:42.420 --> 0:17:45.129 if that was the most important thing, we'd have Shohei back. 0:17:45.170 --> 0:17:49.210 So getting our players back to health. But I think 0:17:49.250 --> 0:17:50.770 they can go hand in hand. I think we have 0:17:50.810 --> 0:17:53.900 a lot of good players that are more than capable 0:17:53.960 --> 0:17:58.659 of helping us win baseball games. And at the same time, 0:17:59.609 --> 0:18:03.090 making sure we try to get our best players to 0:18:03.310 --> 0:18:05.250 optimum health when the postseason starts. 0:18:05.510 --> 0:18:10.170 With Andy and Rushing and Shohei, too, where's Andy and Dalton, 0:18:10.190 --> 0:18:12.570 first of all? And do you anticipate their next at-bats 0:18:12.590 --> 0:18:14.310 would come in a major league game because of the 0:18:14.350 --> 0:18:16.470 situation in Oklahoma? 0:18:17.030 --> 0:18:21.050 Yes. I think that there's a good chance Andy will 0:18:21.070 --> 0:18:26.450 be activated. um, next series. And then with Dalton, he's 0:18:26.540 --> 0:18:29.280 progressing well. And I don't know when his return to 0:18:29.340 --> 0:18:32.200 play will be, but to your question, I think, yeah. 0:18:33.000 --> 0:18:37.040 Dave, what does Edwin Diaz, I don't know. What does 0:18:37.100 --> 0:18:39.920 Edwin Diaz have to do to prove that he could 0:18:39.940 --> 0:18:40.920 be an option for you guys. 0:18:40.820 --> 0:18:43.260 In the postseason? 0:18:43.300 --> 0:18:47.600 Um, you know, we're, he's active tonight, which is great. Um, 0:18:48.690 --> 0:18:53.730 I think just pitch well. And for me, it's irregardless 0:18:53.790 --> 0:18:58.020 of the role. I think we just want to see 0:18:58.060 --> 0:19:00.300 him throw the baseball the way he's capable of, and 0:19:00.340 --> 0:19:04.199 you're talking about nine games, so you're talking three or 0:19:04.240 --> 0:19:08.699 four outings to evaluate, and that should be adequate. 0:19:09.660 --> 0:19:11.180 So is Edwin available tonight if needed? 0:19:11.380 --> 0:19:11.659 He is. 0:19:12.700 --> 0:19:15.380 Blake Stone was thrown 90 feet. You said he felt 0:19:15.400 --> 0:19:18.510 good after. Are you more confident than you were in 0:19:18.609 --> 0:19:21.149 Cincinnati that he could make a start before the end 0:19:21.210 --> 0:19:21.550 of the year? 0:19:22.070 --> 0:19:25.770 Yes, I am. I'm very hopeful that he'll make a 0:19:25.810 --> 0:19:27.090 start before the end of the season, yes. 0:19:27.109 --> 0:19:28.070 Do you think it would be. 0:19:28.050 --> 0:19:30.330 One of those things where it's like an abbreviated start 0:19:30.550 --> 0:19:32.190 for a starter to get ready. 0:19:32.020 --> 0:19:34.360 For the playoffs, or do you feel like you guys 0:19:34.380 --> 0:19:36.480 would want him to have a normal start? 0:19:37.140 --> 0:19:37.560 I don't think so. 0:19:37.560 --> 0:19:38.940 I think it would be more of a normal start, 0:19:39.320 --> 0:19:44.639 maybe not pushing him a ton, but given, you know, 0:19:45.290 --> 0:19:46.940 We don't know how the season's going to play out, 0:19:47.619 --> 0:19:50.460 but this will be his last regular season. start, so 0:19:50.500 --> 0:19:52.100 I think it'll be more of a regular start. 0:19:52.780 --> 0:19:55.020 All right, there's the manager, Dave Roberts. A lot to 0:19:55.060 --> 0:19:57.410 digest there as far as the injury news is concerned. 0:19:57.890 --> 0:20:00.550 Dave Roberts down the dugout brought to you by Concordia 0:20:00.609 --> 0:20:05.120 University Irvine's Masters in Coaching and Athletics Administration Program.

Every single time El Pato gourmet 0:21:19.550 --> 0:21:19.990 and a can. 0:21:22.190 --> 0:21:24.650 Joining Tim Cates on Dodgers on Deck. 0:21:24.750 --> 0:21:26.530 I accept everybody for who they are. 0:21:26.570 --> 0:21:30.020 This is Dodger Insider, David Bassett. 0:21:30.040 --> 0:21:31.000 All right, David. 0:21:31.400 --> 0:21:34.899 Dave Roberts said maybe sometime on this homestand we're going 0:21:34.920 --> 0:21:38.300 to see Andy Pajas back, but what did you find out? 0:21:38.880 --> 0:21:40.900 Well, when I got to the ballpark today, I saw 0:21:41.020 --> 0:21:45.250 Andy Pajas going through some conditioning drills. Then, as expected, 0:21:45.290 --> 0:21:48.370 he was playing catch. First time we've seen that. Well, 0:21:48.390 --> 0:21:50.670 the Dodgers were away on the road trip. He was 0:21:50.710 --> 0:21:54.700 taking batting practice against that traject machine. And that left 0:21:54.740 --> 0:21:58.700 hand that was fractured four weeks ago is almost ready 0:21:58.740 --> 0:22:01.800 to go in a major league game because once Pa 0:22:01.820 --> 0:22:05.100 has came off the field. I met him at his locker, 0:22:05.380 --> 0:22:09.400 and he told me point blank, Tuesday is very real 0:22:09.460 --> 0:22:12.940 for him to be activated and playing again. And Dave 0:22:13.000 --> 0:22:17.010 Roberts said as much during his pregame press conference. So 0:22:17.050 --> 0:22:21.610 Pa has telling us directly at 570 LA Sports that 0:22:21.670 --> 0:22:24.890 he will be activated Tuesday against the Padres. 0:22:25.210 --> 0:22:26.190 That's great news. 0:22:26.250 --> 0:22:26.670 No doubt. 0:22:26.710 --> 0:22:29.470 Get him back before the start of October baseball. All right, 0:22:29.490 --> 0:22:32.040 David Blake Snell, what's the latest on the groin? 0:22:33.119 --> 0:22:36.330 Well, talk to Blake Snell as well. Saw him throw 0:22:36.770 --> 0:22:40.489 from 90 feet earlier today. And he told me when 0:22:40.530 --> 0:22:43.030 he came off the field, he was throwing at 85 0:22:43.030 --> 0:22:45.830 miles an hour. And I said, well, what does that mean? 0:22:45.890 --> 0:22:48.210 How does your left groin feel? He said, I wouldn't 0:22:48.230 --> 0:22:50.830 be throwing 85. I wouldn't be out here throwing if 0:22:50.890 --> 0:22:54.270 my groin was hurt. So he's very confident. He's going 0:22:54.290 --> 0:22:57.840 to make one start. before the end of the regular season. 0:22:57.930 --> 0:23:02.300 That likely would come during the final series of the 0:23:02.359 --> 0:23:05.860 regular season in San Francisco. So that's great news as well. 0:23:06.640 --> 0:23:09.650 He dodged a big bullet there, and the left groin 0:23:09.830 --> 0:23:11.109 is good to go. 0:23:11.570 --> 0:23:13.330 Dodgers baseball, and David is brought to you by Ford, 0:23:13.350 --> 0:23:15.790 the official vehicle of Major League Baseball. 0:23:16.090 --> 0:23:17.130 Ford is number one in J.D. 0:23:17.150 --> 0:23:20.220 Power's new vehicle quality amongst mainstream brands two years in 0:23:20.260 --> 0:23:22.860 a row. See their award-winning lineup at your Southern California 0:23:22.980 --> 0:23:24.000 Ford dealers today. 0:23:24.020 --> 0:23:24.720 A lot of. 0:23:24.720 --> 0:23:27.040 Respect around baseball for the Dodgers, David, and a lot 0:23:27.060 --> 0:23:29.640 of people think they can also get a three-peat. Well, 0:23:29.660 --> 0:23:32.060 you know, so many people are saying these days, Tim, 0:23:32.080 --> 0:23:34.260 when I talk to them around the league, the Dodgers 0:23:34.300 --> 0:23:36.399 are looking old and they're not sure they're going to 0:23:36.440 --> 0:23:39.790 make it to the finish line for a three-peat. But 0:23:40.330 --> 0:23:43.350 Giants coach and a guy that's lived his entire life 0:23:43.410 --> 0:23:48.230 in baseball even managed the Rangers in the 2010 World Series. 0:23:48.450 --> 0:23:51.129 They lost to the Cardinals, though. But Ron Washington. 0:23:51.609 --> 0:23:53.889 He has seen a lot in his baseball life, and 0:23:53.930 --> 0:23:56.880 he'll always give you an honest answer. And I asked 0:23:56.920 --> 0:24:00.220 him what he thought about the naysayers and the critics 0:24:00.280 --> 0:24:03.260 saying the Dodgers are too old to three-peat. 0:24:03.660 --> 0:24:05.940 Well, I lost the World Series because we were supposed 0:24:05.960 --> 0:24:09.179 to have been playing an old team. In 2010, when 0:24:09.240 --> 0:24:11.610 we made the World Series, we had a real young 0:24:11.640 --> 0:24:14.470 team that was feisty and could play. And we met 0:24:14.510 --> 0:24:17.690 the San Francisco Giants, who all the reports said was old, 0:24:17.710 --> 0:24:18.450 they couldn't do. 0:24:18.310 --> 0:24:19.230 This, they couldn't do that. 0:24:20.010 --> 0:24:23.169 But when it came time for the game of baseball 0:24:23.510 --> 0:24:25.669 to rear his head, they could do everything that the 0:24:25.710 --> 0:24:26.650 game of baseball lacks. 0:24:26.670 --> 0:24:28.909 They could hit with power. They could use their speed. 0:24:29.230 --> 0:24:29.840 They could pitch. 0:24:30.150 --> 0:24:36.060 They could fundamentally outdo you offensively. And they had older guys, 0:24:36.100 --> 0:24:37.760 but they knew how to play defense and they knew 0:24:37.780 --> 0:24:39.480 how to be in the right spot. They knew where 0:24:39.500 --> 0:24:42.600 to throw the ball. So, no, no, you don't count 0:24:42.640 --> 0:24:46.380 the Dodgers out until they're out. They're the team to beat. 0:24:47.140 --> 0:24:49.119 I know they're not maybe playing up to par defensively, 0:24:49.640 --> 0:24:51.439 But they got a 10-11 game lead. 0:24:51.300 --> 0:24:53.919 In their division. How much part do you have to 0:24:53.980 --> 0:24:54.680 play up to have. 0:24:54.580 --> 0:24:57.300 That with 10-11 games left? 0:24:57.940 --> 0:25:00.280 I mean, so no, no. They're the team to beat. 0:25:00.600 --> 0:25:04.520 And until somebody remove them, the Dodgers might have a three-peat. 0:25:05.700 --> 0:25:06.359 There you go. 0:25:06.560 --> 0:25:10.119 A Giants coach, Ron Washington, who started his big league 0:25:10.200 --> 0:25:14.770 life with the Dodgers back in 1977. speaking the truth 0:25:14.850 --> 0:25:18.710 right there that until somebody dethrones the back-to-back champs, Tim, 0:25:19.410 --> 0:25:20.760 you got to see it to believe it. 0:25:20.930 --> 0:25:23.310 No doubt. Ron Washington's seen a lot of baseball, so 0:25:23.330 --> 0:25:25.210 he knows what he is talking about. David, great stuff. 0:25:25.230 --> 0:25:27.070 We'll check back in with you in just a little bit. 0:25:27.090 --> 0:25:29.709 Still to come here on Morocco Casino Dodgers on deck. 0:25:30.060 --> 0:25:32.480 We'll dive deeper into this pitching matchup.

It's magical. 0:26:31.890 --> 0:26:33.210 It was magical. 0:26:33.270 --> 0:26:35.250 Presented by Hoffie Hot Dogs. 0:26:35.470 --> 0:26:38.369 Well, the Dodgers taking on the Giants. That's great. 0:26:38.430 --> 0:26:42.670 But we celebrate the 20th anniversary of what happened today, 0:26:42.890 --> 0:26:47.930 September 18th, 2006. Man, already 20 years ago this happened. 0:26:48.470 --> 0:26:51.919 Dodgers in the ninth inning were trailing the San Diego 0:26:52.000 --> 0:26:55.560 Padres out of Dodger Stadium. When Jeff Kent let off 0:26:55.600 --> 0:26:56.820 the inning, a home run. 0:26:57.580 --> 0:26:57.899 J.D. 0:26:57.960 --> 0:26:58.180 Drew. 0:26:58.840 --> 0:26:59.520 Hit a home run. 0:27:00.220 --> 0:27:03.420 Russell Martin. Hit a home run off Trevor Hoffman. Could 0:27:03.440 --> 0:27:05.280 the Dodgers complete the comeback? 0:27:05.760 --> 0:27:08.419 And another drive into high right center. 0:27:08.680 --> 0:27:09.600 At the wall running. 0:27:10.140 --> 0:27:13.200 Can it go out? 0:27:13.240 --> 0:27:14.260 Believe it or not. 0:27:15.290 --> 0:27:16.830 Four consecutive home runs. 0:27:17.030 --> 0:27:20.090 And the Dodgers. 0:27:18.930 --> 0:27:20.550 Have tied it up again. 0:27:27.800 --> 0:27:33.270 And a high fly ball to left field. It is 0:27:33.390 --> 0:27:34.869 a way out and gone. 0:27:34.910 --> 0:27:36.150 The Dodgers win it. 0:27:36.050 --> 0:27:39.750 11 to 10. Unbelievable. 0:27:41.810 --> 0:27:45.410 What will always be known as the four plus one game. 0:27:45.450 --> 0:27:47.450 How great was it to hear the great Vince Scully 0:27:47.530 --> 0:27:50.109 on the call there as the Dodgers had four straight 0:27:50.150 --> 0:27:52.629 home runs in the ninth to tie the game, to 0:27:53.290 --> 0:27:56.150 send it to extra Indians. And then it was no 0:27:56.170 --> 0:27:59.280 ma Garcia para with the walk-off home run in the 0:27:59.359 --> 0:28:02.580 10th inning, the four plus one game. Yes, it equals five, 0:28:02.600 --> 0:28:05.980 but the Dodgers won 9-5.

Dodgers broadcaster 0:29:12.200 --> 0:29:15.800 and World Series champion Dodger, Rick Munday. 0:29:16.200 --> 0:29:18.640 Well, Rick, this is top of mind because we just 0:29:18.660 --> 0:29:22.590 had our Hoffie magical moment of the 4-plus-1 game. And 0:29:22.670 --> 0:29:26.090 here at Dodger Stadium, they had a great mini-documentary that 0:29:26.110 --> 0:29:27.410 you and Charlie were part of. 0:29:27.570 --> 0:29:29.350 Obviously, both were on the call. 0:29:29.890 --> 0:29:33.360 That night 20 years ago, when you still see highlights 0:29:33.440 --> 0:29:35.660 of that game and you talk about it, is it 0:29:35.720 --> 0:29:37.310 still as unbelievable? 0:29:37.510 --> 0:29:40.440 You know what put it in perspective for us? Charlie, 0:29:40.460 --> 0:29:43.020 we were just talking about it. He made a fabulous 0:29:43.060 --> 0:29:48.970 call on the play. Well, downstairs in the Dugout Club about, oh, 0:29:48.970 --> 0:29:51.870 35 minutes ago, we saw Nomar Garcia-Barr. 0:29:52.290 --> 0:29:53.830 His son was with him. 0:29:54.410 --> 0:29:56.590 Now, Nomar is here as a spectator tonight. 0:29:56.670 --> 0:29:57.710 He can watch the game. 0:29:58.320 --> 0:30:00.360 They sent him the video earlier today. 0:30:00.380 --> 0:30:01.610 He had a chance to see that. 0:30:02.180 --> 0:30:04.490 And he goes, what's really nice is I'm out here 0:30:04.910 --> 0:30:06.310 with my son because his son. 0:30:06.190 --> 0:30:06.670 Didn't see it. 0:30:07.490 --> 0:30:10.130 So he's looking at the video. There's special moments, and 0:30:10.190 --> 0:30:14.770 we were just sharing it with Nomar. And Charlie's on 0:30:15.070 --> 0:30:17.990 the mics with us right now. But from our standpoint, 0:30:18.070 --> 0:30:21.720 from our vantage point in the broadcast booth that night, Obviously, 0:30:21.780 --> 0:30:24.000 it was lopsided late in the game, and what we 0:30:24.060 --> 0:30:27.220 saw from the broadcast booth, looking out to an exit 0:30:27.240 --> 0:30:31.600 that's beyond right field, we saw taillights of cars leaving, 0:30:32.280 --> 0:30:34.330 and they had home runs, and then two home runs, 0:30:34.370 --> 0:30:36.310 and then we saw the traffic slow down, and we 0:30:36.370 --> 0:30:40.270 saw the taillights pull over and stop, and it wasn't 0:30:40.310 --> 0:30:42.510 too long after that, another home run was hit, and 0:30:42.530 --> 0:30:45.600 guess what we saw? the taillights turned into headlights and 0:30:45.620 --> 0:30:48.020 they were coming back into the stadium. It was a 0:30:48.060 --> 0:30:51.520 night that you go, I don't believe what we just witnessed. 0:30:52.350 --> 0:30:55.450 You know, it was one of those nights. Mo and 0:30:55.730 --> 0:30:59.030 I were having dinner as we normally do. Nomar comes 0:30:59.130 --> 0:31:02.850 over to the table. It's a night you never forget. 0:31:03.370 --> 0:31:04.450 I don't know how many. 0:31:04.350 --> 0:31:06.730 Hundreds or thousands of games we've been a part of 0:31:07.250 --> 0:31:10.520 in our careers, but that one, if it's not at 0:31:10.560 --> 0:31:12.220 the top of the list, doesn't have a whole lot 0:31:12.240 --> 0:31:12.720 of company. 0:31:12.900 --> 0:31:17.960 It was so unexpected. Four home runs in a row. 0:31:18.760 --> 0:31:25.670 Kent, Drew, Martin, Marlon Anderson, and then Nomar in the 10th. 0:31:26.230 --> 0:31:29.870 Everything about the game, and it was an important game. Dodgers, 0:31:30.410 --> 0:31:33.950 with the win, hopscotch back into first place. You know, 0:31:33.970 --> 0:31:36.990 they went on an Atkins diet and fed off him 0:31:37.010 --> 0:31:38.850 with a couple of home runs. Then the Hall of 0:31:38.890 --> 0:31:42.650 Famer Hoffman comes in, back-to-back home runs. And as Bo said, 0:31:42.910 --> 0:31:47.320 of all the moments that I remember, the car is leaving. 0:31:48.620 --> 0:31:55.820 The red lights... Turned into brake lights. And then U-turns, 0:31:56.220 --> 0:31:58.040 and everybody's coming back again. 0:31:59.440 --> 0:32:05.910 The theater, the unimaginable joy that we never saw coming. 0:32:06.270 --> 0:32:09.750 Again, here it is 20 years later. Still talking about it. 0:32:10.090 --> 0:32:12.430 I love how they got the four guys on Zoom 0:32:12.490 --> 0:32:15.090 and showed them. Because you haven't heard those four guys 0:32:15.150 --> 0:32:17.760 together talk about that night 20 years ago. 0:32:19.000 --> 0:32:22.360 Special night, special results. Tommy Lasorda used to have a 0:32:22.380 --> 0:32:24.100 great line about the fact that, you know, while we 0:32:24.120 --> 0:32:26.550 were asleep, we always dream of things. And you're in 0:32:26.570 --> 0:32:28.410 a wonderful dream. And then all of a sudden, your 0:32:28.450 --> 0:32:31.450 mom shakes you and said, Tommy, it's time to get up. 0:32:31.770 --> 0:32:33.090 Time to wake up and go to school. 0:32:33.410 --> 0:32:34.470 Well, in a. 0:32:34.570 --> 0:32:37.550 Baseball fan's mind, that was a wonderful dream. You just 0:32:37.590 --> 0:32:39.460 kept hoping, hey, mom didn't shake you and say, hey, 0:32:39.510 --> 0:32:40.730 time to wake up and go to school. 0:32:41.150 --> 0:32:44.930 For a non-postseason game in Dodger history, that certainly stands 0:32:45.130 --> 0:32:48.060 out more than any other regular season game in the 0:32:48.100 --> 0:32:49.220 last 30 years. 0:32:49.540 --> 0:32:50.740 Doesn't have a whole lot of company. 0:32:50.980 --> 0:32:51.840 No. 0:32:51.880 --> 0:32:54.030 Raise your hand if you left that game early. That 0:32:54.070 --> 0:32:57.150 was me. I was halfway to Woodland Hills. 0:32:57.230 --> 0:32:58.250 Did you really? 0:32:58.750 --> 0:33:01.690 It was just such a lifeless game until the ninth inning. 0:33:01.830 --> 0:33:04.580 That's what I remember what forced me to leave. But 0:33:04.640 --> 0:33:06.460 if I was in the vicinity, I would have came 0:33:06.500 --> 0:33:06.980 back too. 0:33:07.220 --> 0:33:09.400 So you were too far away to make the U-turn 0:33:09.440 --> 0:33:10.100 on the freeway. 0:33:10.240 --> 0:33:11.000 Exactly right. 0:33:11.300 --> 0:33:14.479 Again, here it is 20 years later and just watching 0:33:14.520 --> 0:33:16.120 the video tonight on the scoreboard. 0:33:16.850 --> 0:33:19.400 I get teary-eyed. I mean, it was just one of 0:33:19.500 --> 0:33:21.360 those moments, 20 years later. 0:33:21.860 --> 0:33:25.420 I remember almost everything about that, and I remember looking 0:33:25.460 --> 0:33:28.700 at Mo, and Mo looking at me as one home 0:33:28.740 --> 0:33:31.790 run after another after another, then the cars, and the 0:33:31.830 --> 0:33:36.050 cars U-turning, and then they, wouldn't you know it, Padres 0:33:36.070 --> 0:33:38.270 score a run in the top of the 10th, and 0:33:38.290 --> 0:33:39.670 then no more with the walk-off. 0:33:39.770 --> 0:33:40.050 It was. 0:33:43.100 --> 0:33:43.900 Congratulations. 0:33:43.960 --> 0:33:47.020 You did a marvelous job, David Basset, on the postgame 0:33:47.100 --> 0:33:49.840 interviews in a very difficult situation in the locker room. 0:33:49.940 --> 0:33:52.600 And thank you because you shared some special moments with us. 0:33:52.620 --> 0:33:52.940 On the air. 0:33:53.340 --> 0:33:54.700 Oh, thank you, Rick.

And as it's coming together right now, 0:39:40.480 --> 0:39:43.879 has us incredibly encouraged for what October can look like. 0:39:44.580 --> 0:39:47.399 You always talk about depth. You certainly used a lot 0:39:47.420 --> 0:39:50.080 of depth this year. When you're able to get that 0:39:50.120 --> 0:39:53.600 many contributions, how rewarding is that for you and for 0:39:53.640 --> 0:39:54.740 everybody else involved? 0:39:55.660 --> 0:39:59.540 It's an awesome organizational accomplishment. The guys that, you know, 0:39:59.600 --> 0:40:02.340 six-year free agents or a deep. 0:40:02.160 --> 0:40:03.440 Draft pick that we got. 0:40:03.920 --> 0:40:07.759 So many different departments in our group have their fingerprints 0:40:07.820 --> 0:40:11.450 all over it. So it's such an awesome organizational accomplishment. 0:40:11.910 --> 0:40:15.230 That being said, it's important to have depth. but you'd 0:40:15.270 --> 0:40:16.290 like to not use it. 0:40:16.730 --> 0:40:17.610 And we used a lot of. 0:40:17.650 --> 0:40:18.190 It this year. 0:40:18.530 --> 0:40:20.870 Andrew, I ask players this all the time.

We got Jack Dreyer. 0:40:55.570 --> 0:40:59.230 We got the entire bullpen drenching the president of baseball operations. 0:40:59.950 --> 0:41:01.230 So I think the relationship. 0:41:01.250 --> 0:41:01.489 By. 0:41:01.410 --> 0:41:02.989 The way, Andrew, I feel like there was a lot 0:41:03.030 --> 0:41:05.670 of depth as far as the beer being thrown on you. 0:41:07.360 --> 0:41:08.720 I gotta tell. 0:41:10.540 --> 0:41:11.000 You. 0:41:11.100 --> 0:41:11.400 One of. 0:41:11.420 --> 0:41:14.620 The most fun things of this celebration has been watching 0:41:14.660 --> 0:41:15.620 everyone crush you. 0:41:15.640 --> 0:41:18.550 You have gotten demolished as much as anybody. 0:41:18.910 --> 0:41:22.090 But I think the relationships, the amount of time and 0:41:22.130 --> 0:41:23.870 energy and time away from home. 0:41:23.950 --> 0:41:24.930 That all of us put in. 0:41:25.969 --> 0:41:29.040 To celebrate these moments are really important in our mind. 0:41:29.120 --> 0:41:31.900 We want three more celebrations and keep blowing it out. 0:41:32.260 --> 0:41:35.040 I got to say this before we go. You don't 0:41:35.080 --> 0:41:37.239 see too many guys in your position get the kind 0:41:37.280 --> 0:41:41.130 of love that these players show you. How do you 0:41:41.150 --> 0:41:44.210 build those relationships?

Is he in the rotation? 0:45:47.410 --> 0:45:48.210 Is he in the bullpen? 0:45:48.250 --> 0:45:50.549 Because if we look at things, the last two starts... 0:45:50.730 --> 0:45:55.060 eight earned runs, 10 innings, and an ERA of 7.2. 0:45:55.060 --> 0:45:55.719 If we look at. 0:45:55.700 --> 0:45:59.540 His outing last Saturday in Miami, took the loss, went 0:45:59.580 --> 0:46:02.580 only four innings. The reason he went only four innings? Well, 0:46:02.600 --> 0:46:05.460 he gave up four runs, a home run, and he 0:46:05.520 --> 0:46:08.489 made 91 pitches in those four innings, and he was 0:46:08.530 --> 0:46:09.430 not efficient at all. 0:46:09.850 --> 0:46:11.530 So the Dodgers and the Giants. 0:46:11.550 --> 0:46:13.950 Of course, the Giants have been an awful season for them, 0:46:13.969 --> 0:46:17.710 and for the Dodgers, they come in with 93 wins 0:46:17.830 --> 0:46:20.410 under their belts.
