Well, 0:01:40.130 --> 0:01:42.950 yesterday in the series opener, it was scorching hot at 0:01:42.990 --> 0:01:45.750 the ravine as the Dodgers rode Scooble and the long 0:01:45.790 --> 0:01:48.550 ball to a game one win. Over 100 degrees at 0:01:48.610 --> 0:01:51.110 first pitch, Tarek Scooble got the start and the big 0:01:51.160 --> 0:01:54.160 left-hander did not disappoint. He went six innings, allowed one 0:01:54.200 --> 0:01:54.920 run on two hits. 0:01:55.220 --> 0:01:56.900 While striking out seven along the way. 0:01:56.940 --> 0:01:59.840 The Dodgers offense, meanwhile, needed a spin around the lineup 0:01:59.860 --> 0:02:02.300 before getting after the Braves bullpen in what was a 0:02:02.340 --> 0:02:05.520 bullpen game again. Finally, in the fourth inning, no score. 0:02:05.580 --> 0:02:09.380 Freddie Freeman, a one-out walk. Next batter, Teoscar Hernandez. 0:02:10.120 --> 0:02:11.940 One ball, one strike. Medeiros delivers. 0:02:11.970 --> 0:02:13.190 There's a fly ball to left. 0:02:13.690 --> 0:02:16.669 It's deep. It is on its way, and it is gone. 0:02:16.690 --> 0:02:24.260 A home run. Teoscar Hernandez, a two-run shot. The Dodgers 0:02:24.340 --> 0:02:25.460 draw first blood. 0:02:25.800 --> 0:02:27.100 It is 2-0. 0:02:27.800 --> 0:02:29.500 Teoscar with the two-run home run. 0:02:29.540 --> 0:02:32.990 A bomb that went 431 feet to left center field. 0:02:33.030 --> 0:02:36.040 Dodgers a 2-0 lead. Tarek Skubal settled in. 0:02:36.470 --> 0:02:38.430 After he gave up a leadoff single in the first, 0:02:38.450 --> 0:02:41.480 he retired 15 in a row, including striking out the 0:02:41.520 --> 0:02:43.380 side in the fourth, another zero in the fifth, and 0:02:43.400 --> 0:02:46.340 in the sixth, Scooble left a 1-2 sinker over the plate. 0:02:46.400 --> 0:02:48.560 Sean Murphy hit out of the park for a solo 0:02:48.580 --> 0:02:52.019 home run. The Dodgers' lead was just 2-1. Scooble had 0:02:52.060 --> 0:02:53.780 traffic on the base pass the rest of the inning, 0:02:53.810 --> 0:02:56.370 but got out of it without any more damage. So 0:02:56.389 --> 0:02:58.410 in the bottom of the sixth, the Dodgers flexed their 0:02:58.450 --> 0:03:02.650 muscles again. Teoscar Hernandez, a one-out single. Next batter, Kyle Tucker. 0:03:02.669 --> 0:03:06.460 A pitch to Tucker, a fly ball to right. It's 0:03:06.530 --> 0:03:09.780 way back there at the wall, and it is gone! 0:03:10.580 --> 0:03:11.680 A home run! 0:03:12.850 --> 0:03:16.880 Kyle Tucker, a two-run blast just to the left of 0:03:16.900 --> 0:03:21.560 the Braves' bullpen. The Dodgers with another two-run blast. This 0:03:21.700 --> 0:03:26.179 one by Tucker. Dodgers 4, Atlanta 1. 0:03:26.180 --> 0:03:29.060 Two-run home run for Kyle Tucker. The Dodgers grabbing the 0:03:29.120 --> 0:03:32.180 momentum right back, taking a 4-1 lead, and they weren't done. 0:03:32.480 --> 0:03:35.220 Two batters later, Max Muncy, a solo blast down the 0:03:35.260 --> 0:03:35.910 right field line. 0:03:36.190 --> 0:03:36.930 Dodgers a 5-1 lead. 0:03:38.030 --> 0:03:40.370 Tarek Skubal went to sixth, turned it over to the bullpen. 0:03:40.410 --> 0:03:42.770 Brock Stewart got the seventh. Alex Vessia put up a 0:03:42.810 --> 0:03:45.290 zero in the eighth. Tanner Scott came in for the ninth. 0:03:45.550 --> 0:03:47.930 He gave up a two-run home run to Ozzie Albies. 0:03:48.410 --> 0:03:50.980 The Dodgers' lead was just 5-3, so Dave Roberts went 0:03:51.020 --> 0:03:53.140 to Evan Phillips. He came in, got the final out 0:03:53.160 --> 0:03:56.360 of the game. Dodgers win game one of the NLDS yesterday, 0:03:56.620 --> 0:04:00.260 beating the Braves 5-3. The Dodgers fans, the Dodgers players, 0:04:00.310 --> 0:04:03.290 surviving the 100-degree heat, and now they're back at it tonight. 0:04:03.310 --> 0:04:05.210 A little cooler out at the Ravine. Game two of 0:04:05.230 --> 0:04:07.910 this best-of-five NLDS rivalry. Blake Snell on the mound, first 0:04:07.930 --> 0:04:09.890 pitch at 5.03. And with more, we head out to 0:04:09.910 --> 0:04:11.510 the Galpin Ford broadcast booth as we. 0:04:11.440 --> 0:04:13.920 Say hello to Charlie Steiner and Rick Munday. 0:04:13.960 --> 0:04:14.200 Guys. 0:04:14.220 --> 0:04:17.860 All right, Tim, game two of the National League Division Series. 0:04:17.900 --> 0:04:22.590 The Dodgers winners yesterday, 5-3. So far, the Dodgers send 0:04:22.670 --> 0:04:24.789 out a pair of aces. Today, it's going to be 0:04:24.950 --> 0:04:28.730 Blake Snell. Yesterday, it was Tarek Skrubel. And today, for 0:04:28.750 --> 0:04:31.800 the Braves, it's going to be another bullpen game. A lefty, 0:04:31.880 --> 0:04:34.099 Ray Kerr, gets a start for them. First, a look 0:04:34.140 --> 0:04:36.840 back at yesterday as we were signing off last night, Mo. 0:04:38.200 --> 0:04:41.320 Every box that the Dodgers needed to check in order 0:04:41.360 --> 0:04:44.179 to win a game, and certainly at this level, they checked. 0:04:44.400 --> 0:04:45.469 And they needed to do it. 0:04:45.600 --> 0:04:48.380 And we saw pitching clinic for six innings by Tarek Skubal, 0:04:48.400 --> 0:04:51.270 who allowed the first batter on a 1-2 count, hit 0:04:51.310 --> 0:04:52.529 a changeup for a base hit. 0:04:52.790 --> 0:04:53.610 Then what did he do? 0:04:53.670 --> 0:04:56.630 Well, he retired the next 15 batters that he faced, 0:04:57.050 --> 0:04:59.310 before there was a lead-off home run by Sean Murphy, 0:04:59.380 --> 0:05:01.500 and the Atlanta Braves finally got on the board. But 0:05:01.540 --> 0:05:04.179 for Scooble to set the tone I thought was terrific, 0:05:04.200 --> 0:05:06.520 then turned it over to bullpen, they were terrific on 0:05:06.600 --> 0:05:09.220 top of it. And the Dodgers were timely hitting. I mean, 0:05:09.260 --> 0:05:11.760 three home runs. In fact, you start to look at it. 0:05:11.760 --> 0:05:13.740 The Dodgers during the regular season, they hit three home 0:05:13.779 --> 0:05:16.340 runs in a ballgame. Pretty good telltale sign on how 0:05:16.360 --> 0:05:16.799 it was going. 0:05:16.680 --> 0:05:17.080 To come out. 0:05:17.120 --> 0:05:21.340 They were 19-1, but don't live on just the long ball. 0:05:21.380 --> 0:05:23.840 The Dodgers did not have opportunities. In fact, they had 0:05:24.320 --> 0:05:26.680 Only one at-bat in the entire game with a runner 0:05:26.700 --> 0:05:27.460 in scoring position. 0:05:27.800 --> 0:05:29.370 And defensively, they were terrific. 0:05:30.190 --> 0:05:30.910 And they made the. 0:05:30.850 --> 0:05:33.930 Big outs when they really needed them, including if you 0:05:33.950 --> 0:05:36.490 look at Tommy Edmund. Made a sensational play, really the 0:05:36.529 --> 0:05:38.669 second batter in the ballgame. What could have been maybe 0:05:38.790 --> 0:05:41.099 first and third with nobody out to open up the 0:05:41.140 --> 0:05:43.630 ballgame in this series. It turned out to be a 0:05:43.670 --> 0:05:45.750 runner at first base on a terrific play. Not the 0:05:45.810 --> 0:05:48.500 only play of the Dodgers. They just did, as you mentioned. 0:05:48.600 --> 0:05:50.980 They did the little things that you have to do 0:05:51.020 --> 0:05:53.220 in order to give yourself an opportunity to win. 0:05:53.440 --> 0:05:58.420 So far in this postseason, teams scoring first have gone 11-2. 0:05:58.850 --> 0:06:03.430 Teams to out-homer the opposition, 10-1. Team scoring four or 0:06:03.470 --> 0:06:06.800 more runs, 10-0, and the Dodgers fill the blanks on 0:06:07.020 --> 0:06:07.680 those three categories. 0:06:07.700 --> 0:06:09.560 Yeah, there's all kinds of numbers that are going. What 0:06:09.620 --> 0:06:12.680 about the outcomes in the best of five series? If 0:06:12.700 --> 0:06:15.300 you go two wins and no losses, what happens on 0:06:15.320 --> 0:06:17.730 the visiting team if they split the two games on 0:06:17.790 --> 0:06:20.490 the road? They actually have a higher percentage of winning 0:06:20.529 --> 0:06:23.970 the series, 61%. That's in the past. You can give 0:06:24.130 --> 0:06:26.750 numbers and facts until these guys turn blue in the 0:06:26.770 --> 0:06:29.089 face and they tell you, hey, look, When the Anthems played, 0:06:29.130 --> 0:06:30.790 would you please leave the field because we've got a 0:06:30.810 --> 0:06:31.529 ball game to play. 0:06:31.910 --> 0:06:34.450 So the Dodgers will be sending out Blake Snell, and 0:06:34.790 --> 0:06:37.950 this is where he has excelled throughout his career in 0:06:37.990 --> 0:06:41.909 the postseason, in big games, just like his new best buddy, 0:06:42.310 --> 0:06:43.690 Tarek Skubal, did yesterday. 0:06:43.710 --> 0:06:45.450 And he said that he was going to spend some 0:06:45.490 --> 0:06:48.550 time either last night after the game or this morning 0:06:48.750 --> 0:06:51.990 early with Skubal to find out what Skubal saw from 0:06:51.990 --> 0:06:55.800 60 feet, 6 inches away to the Atlanta Braves batters. 0:06:56.430 --> 0:06:59.570 And if you look at what Snell was able to 0:06:59.610 --> 0:07:02.150 do against Atlanta, he has his own idea to do things, 0:07:02.210 --> 0:07:05.130 but it's a good idea to get input from someone else. 0:07:05.330 --> 0:07:08.300 A lefty, Ray Kerr, will begin the parade of pitchers 0:07:08.380 --> 0:07:12.880 for the Atlanta Braves this afternoon in game two. Another 0:07:12.920 --> 0:07:15.280 bullpen game. Chris Sale's going to go for them in 0:07:15.320 --> 0:07:18.640 game three when the Dodgers and Braves move to Atlanta 0:07:18.690 --> 0:07:21.190 and play next on Tuesday. But we've got a game 0:07:21.230 --> 0:07:25.960 to play this Sunday afternoon at Dodger Stadium.

Blake Snell on the mound. 0:08:21.670 --> 0:08:23.590 Ray Kerr will serve as the opener for the Braves 0:08:23.610 --> 0:08:24.730 in what is a bullpen game. 0:08:24.970 --> 0:08:25.870 First pitch coming up at 5.03. 0:08:25.850 --> 0:08:28.270 But right now, let's head back out to Dodger Stadium 0:08:28.630 --> 0:08:30.310 and get the pregame thought to the Dodger skipper. 0:08:30.810 --> 0:08:31.489 Anything else for Dave? 0:08:31.570 --> 0:08:32.290 Dave, do you think. 0:08:32.550 --> 0:08:33.510 Other questions for Dave? 0:08:33.550 --> 0:08:35.390 Dave, can you just describe. 0:08:35.410 --> 0:08:35.970 Dave, can. 0:08:35.790 --> 0:08:37.150 You talk about the pressure. 0:08:38.090 --> 0:08:41.429 In the dugout with Dave Roberts brought to you by 0:08:41.470 --> 0:08:46.320 Concordia university Irvine's masters in coaching and athletics administration. 0:08:46.740 --> 0:08:49.160 Dave, the Braves are going with another bullpen game. How 0:08:49.200 --> 0:08:52.220 do you just see your guys either with their approach 0:08:52.280 --> 0:08:53.740 or their plan of attack? How do you see them 0:08:53.780 --> 0:08:56.980 kind of navigating through a pitching plan like this? Whether 0:08:57.000 --> 0:08:59.960 it was yesterday, a little bit of a different bullpen plan, 0:09:00.059 --> 0:09:01.860 but if it seems to be more of a traditional one, 0:09:01.900 --> 0:09:03.220 how do you just see this kind of playing out 0:09:03.260 --> 0:09:03.990 for your offense? 0:09:04.550 --> 0:09:07.429 Um, yeah, I, I think it's similar to yesterday. Um, 0:09:08.530 --> 0:09:12.390 I think just, you know, specific to Kerr, just being 0:09:13.030 --> 0:09:17.900 stubborn in the zone, um, you know, making them work, uh, 0:09:17.960 --> 0:09:21.200 grinding at bats and the sooner that they have to 0:09:21.540 --> 0:09:25.260 get the carousel going that, you know, gets in our 0:09:25.280 --> 0:09:28.660 swings in our favor. Um, yeah, I think the thing 0:09:28.679 --> 0:09:33.710 that you can see today is I, uh, starting Rojas 0:09:34.330 --> 0:09:36.500 and putting him in the eight and giving him that 0:09:36.540 --> 0:09:40.460 opportunity to face Kerr. And then, you know, I'll make 0:09:40.500 --> 0:09:43.000 that decision going forward as far as, you know, once 0:09:43.040 --> 0:09:46.300 they decide to bring in Holmes and to counter. So 0:09:46.420 --> 0:09:50.069 it's just, it speaks a lot to, you know, Max, 0:09:50.330 --> 0:09:53.410 the buy-in of understanding, you know, being able to come 0:09:53.450 --> 0:09:55.469 off the bench and knowing that's the best for the club, 0:09:55.530 --> 0:09:59.150 keeps Miggy involved, gets him in at bat. And so 0:09:59.170 --> 0:10:02.660 those are things that I'm really proud of and then 0:10:02.710 --> 0:10:03.910 now we just got to go out there and play 0:10:03.929 --> 0:10:04.189 the game. 0:10:04.660 --> 0:10:06.540 All right, that's Dave Roberts down in the dugout. 0:10:06.600 --> 0:10:08.920 Coaches, take your career to the next level of Concordia 0:10:08.960 --> 0:10:13.260 University-Irvine's Masters in Coaching and Athletics Administration program.

This is the back-to-back World Series champion 0:10:46.020 --> 0:10:54.880 Dodgers Audio Network. Hey, it's Teosca Hernandez. This is Dodgers 0:10:55.020 --> 0:10:55.500 on Deck. 0:10:55.760 --> 0:10:59.630 You hear every game on AM 570 or streaming on 0:10:59.650 --> 0:11:00.840 the iHeartRadio app. 0:11:02.870 --> 0:11:05.030 It's the Dodgers and the Braves. Game two of the 0:11:05.070 --> 0:11:08.780 National League Division Series. Blake Snell, Ray Kerr, the pitching matchup. 0:11:08.820 --> 0:11:10.780 We'll dive deeper into the numbers for both these guys. 0:11:10.840 --> 0:11:13.540 Ray Kerr coming off a Game 3 wild card series 0:11:13.620 --> 0:11:16.780 start last week. First pitch coming up at 5.03. Dodgers 0:11:16.800 --> 0:11:18.140 baseball brought to you by El Pato. 0:11:18.460 --> 0:11:19.020 Born in L.A. 0:11:19.059 --> 0:11:21.400 And made for your game day, El Pato brings authentic 0:11:21.460 --> 0:11:25.949 Mexican-style tomato sauces, salsas, and hot sauces right to your plate. 0:11:26.250 --> 0:11:28.050 El Pato gourmet in a can. 0:11:30.179 --> 0:11:32.699 Joining Tim Cates on Dodgers on deck. 0:11:32.720 --> 0:11:34.530 I accept everybody for who they are. 0:11:34.570 --> 0:11:37.710 This is Dodger insider, David Bassett. 0:11:37.890 --> 0:11:41.130 All right, DV game two goes to Blake Snell. 0:11:41.220 --> 0:11:42.780 Is he up for the task tonight? 0:11:43.390 --> 0:11:47.030 He reassured me yesterday that he is, and he said 0:11:47.130 --> 0:11:50.850 that the five days off after that start in San Francisco, 0:11:50.870 --> 0:11:53.630 it was going to be critical for him to be 0:11:53.710 --> 0:11:56.750 able to be ready for this game, too. He said 0:11:56.809 --> 0:12:01.250 yesterday that he is and that he threw 23 pitches 0:12:01.890 --> 0:12:06.190 in a simulated game during this five-day bye week for 0:12:06.230 --> 0:12:09.530 the Dodgers. So he told me that his fastball command 0:12:09.570 --> 0:12:12.360 was much better in that than it was yesterday. in 0:12:12.429 --> 0:12:15.880 San Francisco. And as we're looking out right now, Tim, 0:12:15.900 --> 0:12:18.920 you know how much I love shadow talk. But with 0:12:18.960 --> 0:12:22.220 a 5 o'clock start time, shadows are going to be 0:12:22.280 --> 0:12:25.800 in play right now. The pitcher's mound and home plate 0:12:25.940 --> 0:12:28.720 are in shadows while the outfield is. 0:12:29.280 --> 0:12:30.480 Drenched in sunlight. 0:12:30.620 --> 0:12:33.619 So that's going to work in Snell's advantage. And it 0:12:33.720 --> 0:12:36.920 also may work out in the number of different relievers 0:12:37.040 --> 0:12:40.160 that the Braves trot out from their bullpen. That may 0:12:40.179 --> 0:12:41.800 be a factor early in this game. 0:12:42.600 --> 0:12:44.740 ABS Challenge has been talked about a lot here in 0:12:44.820 --> 0:12:47.220 year one, when to use it, the strategy, David. And 0:12:47.580 --> 0:12:50.700 Andy Pahez, well, yesterday, not a very good challenge early 0:12:50.740 --> 0:12:51.369 in this game. 0:12:52.330 --> 0:12:54.930 Yeah, and if you remember, Tim, during one of our 0:12:55.330 --> 0:12:58.730 one-on-one conversations with Dave Roberts, I asked him point blank, 0:12:58.770 --> 0:13:02.150 does Andy Pahez have the red light when it comes 0:13:02.210 --> 0:13:05.060 to ABS Challenges? And he said, yes, we're going to 0:13:05.460 --> 0:13:07.620 give him the stop sign for now. He's not going 0:13:07.640 --> 0:13:10.180 to be allowed to challenge, and he's going to continue 0:13:10.220 --> 0:13:12.800 to work. in the batting cage where they have the 0:13:12.820 --> 0:13:17.160 trajectory video help, you know, when it looks like the 0:13:17.200 --> 0:13:21.250 pitcher on the video board and the pitches come across. 0:13:21.520 --> 0:13:24.309 He was, during the end of the regular season, looking 0:13:24.350 --> 0:13:26.890 at that to try to understand the strike zone a 0:13:26.929 --> 0:13:29.970 little bit better. But I asked Dave Roberts in the 0:13:29.990 --> 0:13:34.050 press conference today, after what we saw in game one 0:13:34.230 --> 0:13:37.700 and that egregious challenge by Pahez, whether or not He 0:13:37.720 --> 0:13:40.500 has given him the stop sign again. And he said, yeah, 0:13:40.520 --> 0:13:43.300 he had a conversation with Pahez. He is not allowed 0:13:43.679 --> 0:13:46.000 to challenge anymore this postseason. 0:13:46.720 --> 0:13:47.000 Wow. 0:13:47.040 --> 0:13:48.459 David is brought to you by Ford. It's time to 0:13:48.500 --> 0:13:49.500 see Ford in a new light. 0:13:49.800 --> 0:13:53.040 From F-150 to Bronco, Ford has the trucks and SUVs 0:13:53.420 --> 0:13:56.020 built for whatever comes your way. Visit your Southern California 0:13:56.059 --> 0:13:58.260 Ford dealer and take a test drive today for the 0:13:58.280 --> 0:13:59.440 official vehicle of. 0:13:59.440 --> 0:14:03.610 Major League Baseball. How big was Kyle Tucker's home run yesterday, David? 0:14:04.360 --> 0:14:07.800 Huge in the confidence department, let alone in that type 0:14:07.860 --> 0:14:09.960 of game. It was a one-run game at that point 0:14:10.000 --> 0:14:13.220 in time, and the Dodgers needed to tack on, and 0:14:13.240 --> 0:14:18.060 they did, starting with Tucker's two-run home run. And right now, Tim, 0:14:18.580 --> 0:14:22.500 we just watched the Milwaukee Brewers walk off Mason Miller 0:14:22.930 --> 0:14:25.330 and the San Diego Padres in the bottom of the 0:14:25.390 --> 0:14:28.650 ninth inning. The Brewers take game two and now have 0:14:28.690 --> 0:14:33.730 a commanding two-games-to-none lead, another heartbreaking loss for the Padres 0:14:34.000 --> 0:14:36.430 as the Brewers are celebrating right now. 0:14:36.470 --> 0:14:37.510 I had to share that with you. 0:14:37.550 --> 0:14:38.010 I'm sorry. 0:14:38.030 --> 0:14:38.390 No doubt. 0:14:38.490 --> 0:14:38.910 No doubt. 0:14:39.450 --> 0:14:41.390 No doubt. Kyle Tucker. 0:14:41.450 --> 0:14:41.690 Yeah. 0:14:41.730 --> 0:14:44.330 Kyle Tucker. Big for his confidence. Big for the game. 0:14:44.430 --> 0:14:47.930 And he was working really hard to try to find 0:14:48.070 --> 0:14:51.430 the swing that he'd been searching for all year long. 0:14:51.480 --> 0:14:53.300 And he found it at the end of September. 0:14:53.320 --> 0:14:56.080 I've kind of had that every now and then throughout 0:14:56.100 --> 0:15:00.240 the year. I'm just trying to maintain as best as possible. But, um, 0:15:01.400 --> 0:15:02.950 I mean, even if you're not feeling great, you still 0:15:02.970 --> 0:15:04.530 got to go up there and, you know, do your job. 0:15:04.610 --> 0:15:07.330 And like I said, whether it's moving guys over, getting 0:15:07.350 --> 0:15:09.670 guys in, regardless of the result, you just try and 0:15:09.690 --> 0:15:10.830 do that and just try to win the game. 0:15:10.850 --> 0:15:15.350 Hey, you love hearing that, Tim, because that's what it's about. 0:15:15.690 --> 0:15:17.220 Having unselfish at bats. 0:15:17.290 --> 0:15:19.100 If it means to hit the ball to the right 0:15:19.160 --> 0:15:21.540 side to advance the runner with less than two outs. 0:15:22.020 --> 0:15:24.760 A guy like Kyle Tucker acknowledging that to try to 0:15:24.780 --> 0:15:27.520 win the game is huge because there have been different 0:15:27.590 --> 0:15:32.050 points and times over the last handful of post-seasons where 0:15:32.130 --> 0:15:34.910 the Dodgers have not done that. So for him to 0:15:34.950 --> 0:15:37.310 have that front of mind along with doing what he 0:15:37.350 --> 0:15:38.450 did yesterday is huge. 0:15:39.790 --> 0:15:40.210 No doubt. 0:15:40.250 --> 0:15:40.890 David, great stuff. 0:15:40.910 --> 0:15:42.290 We'll check back in with you in just a little bit. 0:15:42.310 --> 0:15:44.580 Dave's going to go one-on-one with Taryn Scooble.

Johnny Padres 0:16:49.970 --> 0:16:51.490 into his windup in the 2-2 pitch. A let-up curve, 0:16:51.550 --> 0:16:54.160 a ground ball to the left side.

I'm Tim Kates. This is 0:17:50.550 --> 0:17:53.280 the back-to-back World Series champion, Dodgers. Audio Network. 0:17:56.460 --> 0:18:02.540 This is Morongo Casino, Dodgers on deck. On your home 0:18:02.640 --> 0:18:04.619 for the blue all season long. 0:18:05.780 --> 0:18:08.700 Dodgers and Braves game two of the National League Division 0:18:08.800 --> 0:18:11.439 Series on this Sunday night. Blake Snell and Ray Kerr, 0:18:11.540 --> 0:18:14.859 the pitching matchup. First pitch coming up at 5.03. Dodgers 0:18:14.880 --> 0:18:17.560 baseball brought to you by Shakey's Pizza Parlor, the official 0:18:17.600 --> 0:18:20.020 pizza partner of the Dodgers audio broadcast. 0:18:20.040 --> 0:18:23.640 When it's game day, it's group day at Shakey's.com. 0:18:24.540 --> 0:18:29.160 And now, joined by David Massey, here's L.A. Dodgers broadcaster 0:18:29.460 --> 0:18:33.080 and World Series champion Dodger, Rick Monday. 0:18:33.720 --> 0:18:36.530 Rick, yesterday was a great day for the Dodgers, but 0:18:36.590 --> 0:18:40.330 game two, as you know, you've played in playoff series. 0:18:40.490 --> 0:18:41.870 Yesterday means nothing. 0:18:42.650 --> 0:18:46.630 No, you are as good as maybe you're starting pitching today, 0:18:46.830 --> 0:18:48.449 which is going to be Blake Snow. You are as 0:18:48.490 --> 0:18:52.230 good as your offense is going to be yesterday. Three 0:18:52.250 --> 0:18:54.430 home runs hit by this Dodger ball club, and that 0:18:54.490 --> 0:18:58.070 has been kind of a magical area. When they've hit 0:18:58.450 --> 0:19:01.830 multiple home runs, three in particular, because during the regular 0:19:01.850 --> 0:19:05.470 season they hit three in a ball game, 19-1. This 0:19:05.530 --> 0:19:07.930 is anything but regular, but it's a pretty good start 0:19:08.040 --> 0:19:10.179 on top of it. But the Dodgers did not get 0:19:10.220 --> 0:19:12.580 a whole lot of runners on base, and they were 0:19:12.640 --> 0:19:17.010
