Well, last night, Justin Robleski 0:02:03.120 --> 0:02:05.240 was in search of his eleventh win on the season, 0:02:05.480 --> 0:02:08.280 and Robo was really good. He is as shark as 0:02:08.280 --> 0:02:10.399 they call him and he was out there just eat 0:02:10.560 --> 0:02:14.040 up hitter seven innings, one run, six hits, struck out 0:02:14.200 --> 0:02:16.760 nine along the way, and he got some instant offense. 0:02:16.800 --> 0:02:19.680 In the bottom of the first show Hey o'tani a 0:02:19.840 --> 0:02:23.120 leadoff home run to straightaway center field and the Dodgers 0:02:23.120 --> 0:02:25.520 had a one to nothing lead. They made it to 0:02:25.520 --> 0:02:28.280 nothing in the fifth when Michael lorenz And walked Andy 0:02:28.400 --> 0:02:31.880 Piez with the bases loaded. Dodgers were up two to nothing. 0:02:32.120 --> 0:02:35.440 In the sixth, Justin Roblusky's only run that he gave 0:02:35.520 --> 0:02:38.640 up came on a Jake McCarthy RBI groundout, and it 0:02:38.720 --> 0:02:41.000 was a two to one Dodgers lead. But the Dodgers 0:02:41.080 --> 0:02:43.160 quickly got that run back in the bottom half of 0:02:43.200 --> 0:02:45.239 the sixth inning thanks to Alex Freeland. 0:02:45.720 --> 0:02:48.119 Carolson on the grass said, a third, there's a line 0:02:48.200 --> 0:02:51.560 drive left field base hit edmund comes under the score 0:02:52.120 --> 0:02:55.520 a two on RBI single for Alex Freeland. It's three 0:02:55.560 --> 0:02:56.480 to one Dodgers. 0:02:57.600 --> 0:03:00.000 Alex Freeland driving in his nineteenth run of the game. 0:03:00.040 --> 0:03:02.960 How about Freeland three for four last night. Drives in 0:03:03.000 --> 0:03:05.200 a run brings his average up to two thirty seven 0:03:05.240 --> 0:03:07.919 on the season. Dodgers with a three to one lead. 0:03:08.120 --> 0:03:10.960 Justin Robluski went the seven innings. He was in line 0:03:11.000 --> 0:03:13.919 for his eleventh win of the season. Get this guy 0:03:14.040 --> 0:03:16.520 to the All Star Game already. He turned it over 0:03:16.760 --> 0:03:20.080 to Will Klein, who had some trouble, a lead off 0:03:20.200 --> 0:03:23.760 walk that led the runners on base and into a 0:03:23.800 --> 0:03:26.640 fielder's choice, scored to run and all of a sudden 0:03:26.680 --> 0:03:29.880 traffic on the base pass. It's a three two Dodgers lead. 0:03:29.960 --> 0:03:31.800 When the defense let him down. 0:03:32.040 --> 0:03:33.880 And the Dodgers need to find a way to shut 0:03:33.880 --> 0:03:37.840 this down. Jake McCarthy the hitter, left handed batter, and 0:03:37.920 --> 0:03:40.680 he's gonna bunt, and he pushes it right toward Munseie 0:03:40.920 --> 0:03:42.440 months he thought about coming to the plate. 0:03:42.480 --> 0:03:44.520 Can't do it. They throwed it first to get the out. 0:03:44.560 --> 0:03:45.600 Nobody covering third. 0:03:45.840 --> 0:03:50.000 Ball gets away, but the base runner Freeman will have 0:03:50.080 --> 0:03:53.280 to hold because Rojas was able to back up in time. 0:03:53.480 --> 0:03:55.960 Well, un though the ball went into the dugouts the run. 0:03:55.880 --> 0:03:56.600 He's gonna score. 0:03:56.640 --> 0:03:57.960 I didn't see it go down the stairs. 0:03:57.960 --> 0:03:59.480 It was very poorly played. 0:04:00.320 --> 0:04:03.080 Yeah, not the greatest defense played by the Dodgers last night. 0:04:03.080 --> 0:04:04.560 In that eighth inning, that's the top tier play of 0:04:04.600 --> 0:04:07.360 the game. Brought to by Arco quality, top tier gas 0:04:07.400 --> 0:04:11.520 for Less as McCarthy a sack bunch throwing air, then 0:04:11.600 --> 0:04:15.320 another throwing air as the Dodgers give up a couple 0:04:15.400 --> 0:04:17.760 of runs on the play. They give up three runs 0:04:17.760 --> 0:04:20.760 in the eighth inning to blow the lead, to blow 0:04:20.800 --> 0:04:22.679 the opportunity for Justin Robless. 0:04:22.720 --> 0:04:24.479 He to get his eleventh win of this season. 0:04:24.920 --> 0:04:28.720 Dodgers had an opportunity but could not push across the 0:04:28.760 --> 0:04:31.960 final run in the ninth Indians. The Colorado Rockies come 0:04:32.000 --> 0:04:35.680 in and beat the Dodgers last night four to three, 0:04:36.200 --> 0:04:39.040 but he against the winning relief Will klein geinst the 0:04:39.160 --> 0:04:41.840 loss despite just a third of an inning pitch to 0:04:41.880 --> 0:04:43.920 He had to give up a costly leadoff walk a 0:04:44.080 --> 0:04:47.359 single left with runners on base, but the Dodgers defense 0:04:47.400 --> 0:04:50.160 did not help them out as the Dodgers dropped game 0:04:50.200 --> 0:04:52.360 two of this three game series. But they're back at 0:04:52.400 --> 0:04:55.120 it tonight in the rubber game of this three game set. 0:04:55.279 --> 0:04:57.800 With Roki Sasaki on the mound, first pitch at seven 0:04:57.839 --> 0:04:59.440 to ten and with more we head out to the 0:04:59.440 --> 0:05:02.360 galloping four broadcast booth as we say hello to Charlie 0:05:02.440 --> 0:05:05.120 Steiner and Rick Monday. Guys, all right. 0:05:05.000 --> 0:05:07.880 Tim Dodgers get ready for their ninety fifth game of 0:05:07.880 --> 0:05:10.520 the season at sixty up, thirty three down. 0:05:11.200 --> 0:05:13.560 Lost last night, So this is the rubber. 0:05:13.279 --> 0:05:16.760 Game of the three game series with the Rocks Rockies 0:05:16.800 --> 0:05:20.480 coming from behind in the eighth inn. Five stories to 0:05:20.520 --> 0:05:23.600 me came out of the last night's game. Otani hitting 0:05:23.600 --> 0:05:28.080 his three hundred, Robleski continues to excel, the return of 0:05:28.160 --> 0:05:32.120 Evan Phillips, runners in scoring position a big issue last night, 0:05:32.560 --> 0:05:35.960 and the defensive breakdown in the eighth inning. And he 0:05:36.240 --> 0:05:38.960 can't blame Miguel Rojas. 0:05:38.640 --> 0:05:40.840 His first error of the year. 0:05:40.880 --> 0:05:43.520 He's one of the elites. And so there were five 0:05:43.640 --> 0:05:45.400 interesting notes of the last night's game. 0:05:45.480 --> 0:05:48.520 Yeah, and for Rebleski, he was standing in line and 0:05:48.640 --> 0:05:51.760 should have picked up victory number eleven. Okay, that didn't happen. 0:05:52.200 --> 0:05:54.520 Otani made it happen again with the home run. As 0:05:54.560 --> 0:05:57.640 you mitching, he's number three hundred of his career. Not 0:05:57.760 --> 0:06:00.720 just the two costly errors, but the Dogs were out 0:06:00.760 --> 0:06:03.640 of position a couple of different times defensively, that's something 0:06:03.680 --> 0:06:06.120 we normally don't see. The other part that we don't 0:06:06.160 --> 0:06:10.000 see the Dodgers very rarely beat themselves. Well, they kind 0:06:10.000 --> 0:06:12.200 of did that last night, and I like what Dave 0:06:12.320 --> 0:06:14.840 Roberts said, and talking to the media earlier this afternoon, 0:06:14.880 --> 0:06:17.000 he said, look, yeah, we didn't play a really good game, 0:06:17.080 --> 0:06:18.720 didn't close it out last night, he said, but you 0:06:18.800 --> 0:06:22.840 cannot let the negativity carry over to tonight. They have 0:06:22.920 --> 0:06:25.880 an understanding, he said, Hey, look, they have expectations to 0:06:25.920 --> 0:06:29.240 win Game number sixty one, learn from mistakes, and this 0:06:29.279 --> 0:06:31.520 is a team that shows it has that ability. 0:06:32.040 --> 0:06:35.599 Roki Sasaki goes tonight. He's still looking to find his way. 0:06:36.000 --> 0:06:39.000 That's a big right hair. Gabriel Hughes making his first 0:06:39.000 --> 0:06:40.120 big league start. 0:06:39.960 --> 0:06:42.480 Yeah, it is, and he came on the scene in 0:06:42.640 --> 0:06:44.640 very fine fashion. We'll talk about the pitch a little 0:06:44.680 --> 0:06:47.520 bit later on, but for Hughes made his major league 0:06:47.520 --> 0:06:50.599 debut last Friday against the Giants. How did he do 0:06:50.640 --> 0:06:53.240 in his major league debut? Well, is in relief. He 0:06:53.279 --> 0:06:56.080 went three scoreless innings and pick up the save in 0:06:56.160 --> 0:06:58.080 his very first game at the big league level. 0:06:59.400 --> 0:07:02.400 Note about Otani in his three hundredth home run. Again, 0:07:02.520 --> 0:07:06.760 we just see the stories that he he writes for himself. 0:07:07.160 --> 0:07:10.640 He's the fifth quickness to reach three hundred and eleven 0:07:10.720 --> 0:07:14.760 hundred and two games. The other fellas pretty good company, 0:07:15.240 --> 0:07:19.680 Aaron Judge, Ralph Kiner, Ryan Howard, and Roan Gonzalez. He's 0:07:19.720 --> 0:07:23.320 also the first Japanese player to reach three hundred mouth. 0:07:23.400 --> 0:07:25.920 He's something else. Every time he comes to home plate, 0:07:26.000 --> 0:07:27.840 you don't dare take your eyes off of him. You're 0:07:27.880 --> 0:07:31.440 likely to see something you had not seen before. We 0:07:31.560 --> 0:07:34.200 have a little different lineup in tonight's bowl game. Is 0:07:34.200 --> 0:07:36.640 it Tommy Edmund not only playing at second base, He's 0:07:36.640 --> 0:07:39.240 going to bat second. Andy Potes will get a breather 0:07:39.600 --> 0:07:42.320 at the outset of this bowl game. Alex call would 0:07:42.320 --> 0:07:46.600 be in center field for Pahes and Eliezer Alfonso would 0:07:46.600 --> 0:07:49.000 be doing the catching. Dalton Rushing, by the way, has 0:07:49.040 --> 0:07:51.920 done a magnificent job in filling in for the injured 0:07:51.960 --> 0:07:54.280 Will Smith, who continues to be on the injured list, 0:07:54.560 --> 0:07:57.560 and for Rushing a very well earned rest tonight, at 0:07:57.640 --> 0:07:59.200 least at the outset of the game. We may see 0:07:59.280 --> 0:08:02.600 him later on, and then remember there's the off day tomorrow, 0:08:02.680 --> 0:08:04.680 so some guys can kind of take a deep breath. 0:08:05.000 --> 0:08:07.560 Indeed they will.

And Dave Roberts today, I asked 0:10:47.320 --> 0:10:49.600 him just as to why he believes that that might 0:10:49.640 --> 0:10:52.120 be the case, and he was saying, there's a few things. 0:10:52.120 --> 0:10:54.040 This is a team that is resilient. This is a 0:10:54.080 --> 0:10:56.640 team that's very good at turning the page. Even he 0:10:56.760 --> 0:10:59.319 shared that they're coming off of a loss last night 0:10:59.400 --> 0:11:02.760 in which admittedly the guys were they were honest, it 0:11:02.800 --> 0:11:05.200 was a frustrating one. They had the errors late in 0:11:05.240 --> 0:11:08.040 the game. Miguel Rojas called it. You know, it's one 0:11:08.040 --> 0:11:12.000 thing if you have a mishap just physically, but when 0:11:12.040 --> 0:11:14.920 you have a mental error, that's truly that's a tough 0:11:14.920 --> 0:11:18.080 one for him to kind of accept. So the guys 0:11:18.120 --> 0:11:20.120 were honest with kind of how they felt losing that 0:11:20.160 --> 0:11:23.640 one after being ahead, and so Dave was saying, this 0:11:23.720 --> 0:11:26.679 group was a very good job of it. Come in today, 0:11:27.040 --> 0:11:30.319 there's a different feel amongst the group. They were laughing, 0:11:30.440 --> 0:11:33.000 they had a good energy, and so they just understand 0:11:33.000 --> 0:11:35.960 that in a long season for baseball, they're going to 0:11:35.960 --> 0:11:39.480 be games that are emotionally exhausting wins. There's going to 0:11:39.520 --> 0:11:42.960 be emotionally exhausting losses, but it's how you just continue 0:11:43.000 --> 0:11:45.560 to be resilient and bounced back. So they've been excellent 0:11:45.760 --> 0:11:47.960 with that and he expects that to be the same today. 0:11:48.400 --> 0:11:51.679 Dodgers really need Rokie Sasaki to have one of those 0:11:51.679 --> 0:11:54.280 good starts. He's sitting at three and five with a 0:11:54.280 --> 0:11:57.839 five forty ERA, but the last two starts he hasn't 0:11:57.840 --> 0:11:59.840 got out of the third and fourth any Yeah. 0:12:00.000 --> 0:12:01.760 I mean, even if you look at the last four starts, 0:12:01.800 --> 0:12:04.480 he's got an ERA over ten. So for him, it 0:12:04.559 --> 0:12:07.080 really is about bouncing back and hoping to set the 0:12:07.080 --> 0:12:09.719 tone early. And it's interesting because as much as the 0:12:09.800 --> 0:12:13.040 numbers haven't been there, Rokie after his last one felt 0:12:13.080 --> 0:12:15.880 like the stuff was actually in a really good spot. 0:12:15.960 --> 0:12:18.400 He said, he felt good. Dave Roberts was even saying, 0:12:18.400 --> 0:12:20.160 you know, if you look at the stuff overall, it 0:12:20.280 --> 0:12:22.360 wasn't bad per se. He said he could have had 0:12:22.360 --> 0:12:25.040 a little bit more fastball command, just more where he's 0:12:25.040 --> 0:12:27.960 locating his pitches. And they did think that there was 0:12:28.040 --> 0:12:30.640 some tipping involved in the last one, and so Dave 0:12:30.760 --> 0:12:33.360 Roberts shared today that he did work on a few 0:12:33.360 --> 0:12:36.199 things mechanically. They do believe they've cleaned a few things up, 0:12:36.320 --> 0:12:40.000 just in regard to specifically the tipping aspect and having 0:12:40.000 --> 0:12:42.240 a clear plan for the pictures or the hitters going 0:12:42.280 --> 0:12:44.720 up against him. So they hope that he's kind of 0:12:44.760 --> 0:12:47.200 worked through that. But they really like him in this 0:12:47.240 --> 0:12:50.280 one not to focus on the mechanics of things, just 0:12:50.320 --> 0:12:53.160 focus on competing. That's where they want him to be 0:12:53.320 --> 0:12:54.839 in this one, to hopefully just. 0:12:54.840 --> 0:12:55.839 Get back on track. 0:12:55.960 --> 0:12:58.240 So it's a new month and the hopefully they can 0:12:58.600 --> 0:12:59.440 he can do just that. 0:13:00.160 --> 0:13:00.439 Hope. 0:13:00.480 --> 0:13:02.959 So begins tonight for rookie Sasaki. Thank you curious, and 0:13:02.960 --> 0:13:04.200 we'll check out with you after the game. 0:13:04.320 --> 0:13:05.000 Still to come here. 0:13:05.040 --> 0:13:07.400 I'm Marongo Casino, Dodgers on deck we'll dive deeper into 0:13:07.400 --> 0:13:08.440 this pitching matchup. 0:13:08.600 --> 0:13:11.360 We'll hear from the manager Dave Roberts as David Vessego 0:13:11.440 --> 0:13:12.840 is one on one with the Dodger skipper. 0:13:12.880 --> 0:13:16.160 But up next the injury report Dodgers and Rockies on 0:13:16.240 --> 0:13:18.480 this Wednesday night final game with this three game set. 0:13:18.480 --> 0:13:19.480 First pitch is seven ten. 0:13:19.640 --> 0:13:21.440 I'm Tim kats is the back to back World Series 0:13:21.480 --> 0:13:23.839 champion Dodgers audio nowhere. 0:13:26.200 --> 0:13:32.280 This is Marongo Casino Dodgers on deck on your home 0:13:32.360 --> 0:13:35.360 for the Blue All season long law. 0:13:36.800 --> 0:13:40.320 Morongo Casino Dodgers on dec continues on these Wednesday night 0:13:40.360 --> 0:13:43.080 as we lead up to first pitch Dodgers and the Rockies, 0:13:43.120 --> 0:13:47.199 Morongo Casino Resort and Spa a Grand Slam four good 0:13:47.200 --> 0:13:49.520 Times with Rookie Sasaki Gabriel Hughes. 0:13:49.559 --> 0:13:52.080 The pitching matchup, first pitch coming up at seven ten. 0:13:53.679 --> 0:13:57.520 It's the La Dodgers Injury Report. 0:13:57.240 --> 0:13:59.760 Presented by UCLA Healthy Official medical partner of the Los 0:13:59.760 --> 0:14:01.800 Angele The Dodgers Blake trying it on the IL at 0:14:01.800 --> 0:14:04.400 the right elbow inflammation, Will Smith on the IL at 0:14:04.440 --> 0:14:07.920 the next inflammation. Keiky Hernanda saw him taking ground balls yesterday, 0:14:08.040 --> 0:14:10.440 taking some hits in the cage as well. He's on 0:14:10.480 --> 0:14:12.440 the IL at the left oblique injury, but it looks 0:14:12.480 --> 0:14:15.480 like he's progressing pretty good. Tyler Glass now on the 0:14:15.520 --> 0:14:18.320 IL or backspatters Blake's now more on him coming up. 0:14:18.360 --> 0:14:20.880 He and Edwin Dia is very busy today throwing at 0:14:20.920 --> 0:14:22.800 Dodgers Stadium a couple of hours ago. 0:14:23.120 --> 0:14:23.760 Landon Nack. 0:14:23.880 --> 0:14:26.760 He's made three starts in their rehab appearances in Triple 0:14:26.800 --> 0:14:30.400 A Oklahoma City. Guys who could help this Dodger rotation, 0:14:30.440 --> 0:14:32.680 and certainly helped Justin Robuski, who. 0:14:32.480 --> 0:14:35.320 Has been really good through the first half of this season. 0:14:35.600 --> 0:14:38.320 Twenty five year old left hander ten Wins should have 0:14:38.320 --> 0:14:40.120 had his eleventh last night, left with the three to 0:14:40.200 --> 0:14:43.080 one lead, only to see the Dodgers bullpen give it 0:14:43.160 --> 0:14:44.280 up late afterwards. 0:14:44.400 --> 0:14:45.760 Justpin Robuski spoke with the media. 0:14:46.240 --> 0:14:49.680 Yeah, obviously, that's it's disappointing. You know, you want to 0:14:49.680 --> 0:14:51.520 be an All Star. It's it's something that you know, 0:14:52.320 --> 0:14:55.720 regardless of the year, whenever it's it's always a big deal. 0:14:56.400 --> 0:14:58.280 And yeah, it's something I wanted to do, and yeah, 0:14:58.280 --> 0:15:01.720 it's frustrating to note that nod But like I said before, 0:15:01.760 --> 0:15:04.320 I think it's just more more reason to try and 0:15:04.360 --> 0:15:06.200 keep getting better and then you know, hopefully I can 0:15:06.240 --> 0:15:08.960 get their respect of you know, players and everybody else 0:15:09.000 --> 0:15:12.720 and maybe be in there next Year's still been really 0:15:12.760 --> 0:15:13.480 lobbying for you. 0:15:13.560 --> 0:15:14.760 Just what does that mean to give? 0:15:15.440 --> 0:15:17.800 Yeah, that means a lot, obviously, you know, to to 0:15:17.840 --> 0:15:21.000 hear from him. You know, he's given me this opportunity 0:15:21.040 --> 0:15:23.000 to kind of be a start of the major leagues 0:15:23.040 --> 0:15:25.320 when maybe some other teams would have given up on me. 0:15:25.440 --> 0:15:27.720 So yeah, it means a lot to hear from him 0:15:27.760 --> 0:15:30.920 and hope hopefully I can keep eating innings for him 0:15:30.920 --> 0:15:34.040 and then getting deep into games and and doing my best. 0:15:34.240 --> 0:15:36.840 Do you hold out hope personally just knowing that they 0:15:36.880 --> 0:15:39.400 are now stunning to make those decisions for replacements, or 0:15:39.400 --> 0:15:41.120 do you have to kind of put that aside to 0:15:41.160 --> 0:15:41.920 let the chips fall. 0:15:42.480 --> 0:15:45.640 I mean, yeah, I would like to. I would like 0:15:45.680 --> 0:15:47.880 to know where my All Star break is going to be. 0:15:48.880 --> 0:15:52.920 But yeah, no, it's if it happens, great. If it 0:15:52.960 --> 0:15:55.600 doesn't happen, you know, some time off and the chill 0:15:55.680 --> 0:15:58.720 for a couple of days. So either way, I'm I'm 0:15:58.760 --> 0:15:59.160 all good. 0:16:00.000 --> 0:16:02.160 All right, there's Jess Robleski. I'm certainly. 0:16:02.880 --> 0:16:05.600 I'm certain he liked to chill and hang out and relax, 0:16:05.680 --> 0:16:08.640 but also make that trip to Philadelphia, which he deserves 0:16:08.920 --> 0:16:11.080 to be an All Star, no doubt about that. Well, 0:16:11.080 --> 0:16:13.400 we continue here. I'm Roco Casino, Dodgers on Debt. We'll 0:16:13.480 --> 0:16:15.880 check in with David Basse. So lead up to first 0:16:15.920 --> 0:16:19.120 pitch Dodgers and Rockies. I'm Tim Kates's the back to 0:16:19.160 --> 0:16:25.040 back World Series champion Dodgers Audio Network. 0:16:25.120 --> 0:16:29.840 As we were saying, this is Marongo Casino, Dodgers on 0:16:30.040 --> 0:16:34.560 Tack on the official home of La Dodgers Baseball. 0:16:35.240 --> 0:16:39.880 It's a Dodgers and Rockies on this Wednesday night. Rookie Sasaki, 0:16:39.960 --> 0:16:42.840 the rookie Gabriel Hughes. The pitching matchup. Dodgers Baseball's brought 0:16:42.840 --> 0:16:44.840 to you by Al Poto, born in La and made 0:16:44.840 --> 0:16:48.960 for your game day. El Pato brings authentic Mexican style tomato, sauces, 0:16:49.000 --> 0:16:50.760 salces and hot sauces right to you. 0:16:51.040 --> 0:16:53.000 El Pato, Gormee and. 0:16:53.000 --> 0:16:57.760 A can joining Tim Kates on Dodgers on Deck. 0:16:57.840 --> 0:16:59.600 I accept everybody for who they are. 0:16:59.680 --> 0:17:02.960 This is Dodger insider David Bassi. 0:17:03.160 --> 0:17:06.200 All right, DV, We're starting to see Dodger players come 0:17:06.280 --> 0:17:09.040 back from injury. But a name that we haven't really 0:17:09.040 --> 0:17:11.600 thought of in a few weeks is keyk Hernandez because 0:17:11.720 --> 0:17:12.960 of that oblique injury. 0:17:13.080 --> 0:17:16.560 What's the latest, Well, he can't be activated off the 0:17:16.600 --> 0:17:20.359 IL for another twenty days, but he's out here taking 0:17:20.400 --> 0:17:24.760 betting practice virtually every day. He's taken Nolan Aronato like 0:17:24.840 --> 0:17:28.000 ground balls at third base, and that's kind of an 0:17:28.000 --> 0:17:30.600 indication of where the Dodgers are going to play him 0:17:30.880 --> 0:17:34.480 when he returns. But Dave Roberts said earlier today Tim 0:17:34.600 --> 0:17:37.760 that Key K could go out on a rehab signment 0:17:37.920 --> 0:17:40.760 right now, but because he's twenty days out of being 0:17:40.840 --> 0:17:45.600 activated and he already went on an extended rehab appearance, 0:17:45.640 --> 0:17:48.080 there's no need to send him out now. But he's 0:17:48.080 --> 0:17:51.040 looking good. He seems to be managing that oblique injury, 0:17:51.119 --> 0:17:53.240 but certainly not trying to rush. 0:17:53.040 --> 0:17:56.760 Anything, David. Are the Dodgers still looking for a two hitter? 0:17:57.880 --> 0:17:58.120 Yeah? 0:17:58.160 --> 0:17:58.879 I would say so. 0:17:59.040 --> 0:18:01.760 Tim Andy Poe gets the night off tonight, but he 0:18:01.800 --> 0:18:05.080 has struggled in twenty five games hitting second, And whether 0:18:05.119 --> 0:18:09.360 it's been Pajez or Tucker or Freddie Freeman or Mookie 0:18:09.359 --> 0:18:13.000 Betts this year if there's a hole in the Dodger offense, 0:18:13.040 --> 0:18:15.520 which is the best in baseball, let's make it clear 0:18:15.920 --> 0:18:17.000 best in baseball. 0:18:17.119 --> 0:18:18.800 But if there is a weak. 0:18:18.640 --> 0:18:22.440 Spot and still searching to find who fits best hitting 0:18:22.560 --> 0:18:25.840 behind sho Hey Otani, it's got to be that two spot. 0:18:26.240 --> 0:18:28.800 The Dodgers' number two hitter, no matter who they've had, 0:18:28.840 --> 0:18:32.439 there is hitting two eighteen and they've struck out eighty 0:18:32.520 --> 0:18:36.520 four times with only eight home runs. So tonight it's 0:18:36.520 --> 0:18:40.480 tom Y Edman. He has only played fourteen games. He 0:18:40.720 --> 0:18:43.840 seems to be the type of guy that you would 0:18:43.840 --> 0:18:47.439 want hitting behind Otani because he's a switch hitter. He 0:18:47.440 --> 0:18:49.960 can hit left handed, he could hit right handed. He's 0:18:49.960 --> 0:18:52.879 a line drive hitter. He's not trying to match what 0:18:52.960 --> 0:18:56.760 O'tani does. You wouldn't think so. Tom Y Edman might 0:18:56.800 --> 0:18:58.760 be that guy. And we'll see whether or not. At 0:18:58.760 --> 0:19:02.320 stee Sticks after tonight and going into the second half 0:19:02.359 --> 0:19:02.600 of the. 0:19:02.560 --> 0:19:05.879 Season, David is brought to by a Ford summer sales event. 0:19:06.000 --> 0:19:08.200 Don't wait hurrying now for the best offers of the 0:19:08.280 --> 0:19:11.800 year for the official vehicle of Major League Baseball. The 0:19:11.840 --> 0:19:13.479 Dodgers lost a tough one last night. 0:19:13.520 --> 0:19:15.720
