The Dodgers now winners of 0:04:28.440 --> 0:04:31.159 four in a row. And what have they done over 0:04:31.200 --> 0:04:34.120 the last four games? How about a three to seventy 0:04:34.160 --> 0:04:37.960 combined batting average, a team ops of over eleven hundred, 0:04:38.279 --> 0:04:42.279 fourteen home runs, twenty three extra base hits. And during 0:04:42.320 --> 0:04:45.240 this four game winning streak, three in Washington, DC and 0:04:45.279 --> 0:04:47.800 the win last night, the Dodgers have scored a combined 0:04:48.400 --> 0:04:52.760 forty five runs. As the Dodgers improved to eight and 0:04:52.880 --> 0:04:55.479 two on this season. Tonight, Game two of this three 0:04:55.520 --> 0:04:58.360 game set, Yoshinobu Yamamoto on the mount first, pitching four 0:04:58.360 --> 0:05:00.200 to zher seven with more, Let's head out to the 0:05:00.279 --> 0:05:03.800 GALLPU Motors broadcast with North of the Border Steven Nelson 0:05:03.880 --> 0:05:05.640 Rick Monday, guys. 0:05:05.320 --> 0:05:07.960 TC, We're back here in Rogers Center of the brisk 0:05:08.360 --> 0:05:12.320 day here in Ontario, Canada, and the Dodgers bats MO 0:05:12.560 --> 0:05:15.000 have been the opposite of brisk on this road trip. 0:05:15.080 --> 0:05:19.880 They continued a torrid stretch, demolishing the Blue Jays last night, 0:05:19.960 --> 0:05:23.839 truly in embarrassing fashion. In what was hyped up is 0:05:23.880 --> 0:05:27.400 this World Series rematch, first meeting since the epic Game seven, 0:05:27.760 --> 0:05:30.440 and frankly, the Dodgers were the only club to show up, 0:05:30.520 --> 0:05:33.279 not just with the bats, but in the field and 0:05:33.360 --> 0:05:35.159 on the mound as well. It really was a clinic 0:05:35.200 --> 0:05:35.760 for the Dodgers. 0:05:36.000 --> 0:05:36.919 Toronto was banged up. 0:05:36.920 --> 0:05:39.880 They had some injuries, including last night starter Max Shrzy, 0:05:39.880 --> 0:05:42.880 who lasted just two winnings. He's an elbow issue to 0:05:42.920 --> 0:05:45.719 begin with. So yes, they have some people not able 0:05:45.800 --> 0:05:48.719 to play, but they did not play particularly well in 0:05:48.720 --> 0:05:51.960 one hundred and fifty seven days after you Game seven, 0:05:52.040 --> 0:05:55.320 the clincher right here in this ballpark. It was disappointing, 0:05:55.320 --> 0:05:57.800 obviously for the local crown. For the Dodgers. They did 0:05:57.880 --> 0:05:59.720 not rub it in. They did not run the bases 0:05:59.800 --> 0:06:02.640 or dance without being held on at first base out 0:06:02.640 --> 0:06:04.640 of respect. On the other side, you never know, it 0:06:04.720 --> 0:06:07.599 might it might turn around to go the opposite correct today, 0:06:07.680 --> 0:06:08.520 I have one question. 0:06:08.839 --> 0:06:09.839 I don't know what your. 0:06:09.680 --> 0:06:13.080 Mason Dixie line is between brisk and absolutely cold, But 0:06:13.200 --> 0:06:15.920 it is absolutely cold outside today. It was in the 0:06:15.920 --> 0:06:18.080 low thirties. The wind chill is in the twenties, So 0:06:18.120 --> 0:06:20.680 I'm just wondering what your definition of brisk is. 0:06:21.520 --> 0:06:23.520 You're right, it was only I only say that because 0:06:23.520 --> 0:06:26.000 the sun is still out. When the sun goes down then. 0:06:26.040 --> 0:06:28.040 It does cross does get cold. 0:06:28.400 --> 0:06:29.520 Yeah, okay, yeah. 0:06:29.360 --> 0:06:31.440 At least the son you have some ability to thaw 0:06:31.520 --> 0:06:34.359 out here. But for the Dodgers now a chance to 0:06:34.440 --> 0:06:37.200 clinch this series. And it's a rematch. In terms of 0:06:37.240 --> 0:06:40.880 the pitching matchup, Yoshinobu Yamamoto against Kevin Gossman, it was 0:06:40.880 --> 0:06:43.240 the same starting pitching matchup in Game two of the 0:06:43.240 --> 0:06:46.160 World Series and in Game six of the World Series. 0:06:46.240 --> 0:06:47.200 Yeah, and who would expect it. 0:06:47.320 --> 0:06:49.640 I'm a moto to turn around and pitch also coming 0:06:49.680 --> 0:06:51.839 out of the bullpen in Game seven, as he did. 0:06:51.880 --> 0:06:54.520 And he answered comments yesterday about the fact is that 0:06:55.279 --> 0:06:57.279 he didn't really think about it that much until he 0:06:57.360 --> 0:07:00.480 was warming up in the bullpen, and he says there 0:07:00.520 --> 0:07:02.400 was no time to think about it that present time. 0:07:02.440 --> 0:07:04.560 So I was a little surprised. Also, you had talked 0:07:04.560 --> 0:07:06.960 about this last night. I was surprised that it was 0:07:07.040 --> 0:07:10.120 not a sellout in Yeah, ball game, it was a 0:07:10.120 --> 0:07:12.760 big crowd, almost forty one thousand last night. Game seven 0:07:12.840 --> 0:07:16.320 was close to forty five thousand. But we'll see what 0:07:16.760 --> 0:07:18.840 it happens to be today. Although it is. 0:07:18.960 --> 0:07:21.960 Rather brisk outside, it is brisk, that is for sure, 0:07:22.160 --> 0:07:25.120 And I don't think this Blue Jays five game losing 0:07:25.120 --> 0:07:27.960 streak or how the team played last night is going 0:07:28.000 --> 0:07:30.200 to help things on that front when it comes to 0:07:30.800 --> 0:07:33.320 the attendance.

Four hit, two 0:11:00.520 --> 0:11:03.480 of which were home runs, and even he was in 0:11:03.600 --> 0:11:06.040 you know, he simplified a lot of stuff when it 0:11:06.080 --> 0:11:08.160 comes to his swing, and so now he feels that 0:11:08.480 --> 0:11:11.439 he's just in a better position with the limited at bats, 0:11:11.600 --> 0:11:13.920 Dusk in a limited playing tunts for him to be 0:11:13.960 --> 0:11:16.280 able to kind of make something happen behind the plate 0:11:16.320 --> 0:11:19.240 while also focusing on the work of just catching the picture. 0:11:19.360 --> 0:11:22.520 So the offense is in a very good spot now 0:11:22.559 --> 0:11:25.079 that being set, the hope is for them to give 0:11:25.160 --> 0:11:28.560 run support to Yoshinobu we do know last year that 0:11:28.800 --> 0:11:31.440 was a thing when even Yoh would be teasing, please 0:11:31.480 --> 0:11:34.160 just give me ten runs one of these games, you know, 0:11:34.280 --> 0:11:36.920 asking the day before. But the hope is they can 0:11:37.000 --> 0:11:38.960 keep it going. Is I know Yoshi would love some 0:11:39.040 --> 0:11:41.080 run support on the mound today. 0:11:41.200 --> 0:11:44.720 With Yamamoto on the mound, he's returning to Toronto where 0:11:44.760 --> 0:11:47.920 he was MVP of the World Series last year, and 0:11:47.960 --> 0:11:49.680 I know he's looking forward to get back up on 0:11:49.679 --> 0:11:50.440 the mountain out. 0:11:51.120 --> 0:11:53.400 He really is, And even yesterday he was saying, he 0:11:53.480 --> 0:11:56.280 spoke with the media that you know, returning here, there 0:11:56.440 --> 0:11:59.600 is it's a nostalgic feeling. There is a lot of emotions, 0:12:00.120 --> 0:12:02.920 so remembering just what they achieved and for him to 0:12:02.960 --> 0:12:05.880 be the guy who's on the mound not only just 0:12:05.960 --> 0:12:08.560 to close out Game seven, but also to start game 0:12:08.679 --> 0:12:12.120 six and they were in an elimination situation, so for 0:12:12.240 --> 0:12:14.480 him to be that guy, the performance that he had. 0:12:14.480 --> 0:12:18.720 Of course, he's the World Series MVP. Those numbers that 0:12:18.760 --> 0:12:20.640 performs is going to go down in history. But he 0:12:20.679 --> 0:12:23.040 did make it clear that as much as there is 0:12:23.080 --> 0:12:26.720 that nostalgia, his focus is now on this season and 0:12:26.760 --> 0:12:29.559 specifically on this start today. A lot of the guys 0:12:29.559 --> 0:12:31.439 have been sharing that they kind of feel like the 0:12:31.520 --> 0:12:33.679 face and the Blue Jays with a different team. It's 0:12:33.720 --> 0:12:35.920 not the same team they saw in the World Series, 0:12:35.960 --> 0:12:38.680 so there is a different feeling amongst that. But Yoshi 0:12:38.720 --> 0:12:41.240 made it clear for him, whether it's the World Series, 0:12:41.280 --> 0:12:43.600 whether it's a regular season game, he likes to treat 0:12:43.720 --> 0:12:46.640 every single game the same and how his mind is 0:12:46.720 --> 0:12:49.280 kind of focusing in on it and his approach. He 0:12:49.360 --> 0:12:51.120 did that all of October and he does look to 0:12:51.160 --> 0:12:54.520 continue that specifically with this game today. In all twenty 0:12:54.520 --> 0:12:55.080 twenty six. 0:12:55.679 --> 0:12:57.560 We'll find out if he can duplicate what he did 0:12:57.640 --> 0:12:59.400 last October. And he gets on the mat and just 0:12:59.400 --> 0:13:01.400 a little to make you person. We appreciate it. We'll 0:13:01.440 --> 0:13:02.880 check in with you after the game.

Bruce Dark, Gretorol Brock Stewart, Blake snell landon neck, 0:14:12.960 --> 0:14:16.600 Gavin Stone, Evan Phillips. All Dodger pitchers working their way back, 0:14:16.600 --> 0:14:19.880 hopefully soon as they are currently on the injured list. 0:14:19.920 --> 0:14:21.760 Let's head back up to the Rogers Center and check 0:14:21.760 --> 0:14:23.360 out with the Dodger Skipper. 0:14:25.000 --> 0:14:28.080 Questions for Dave, Dave, can you just describe Dave? Can 0:14:28.120 --> 0:14:32.760 you talk about the pressure in the dugouts with Dave Roberts? 0:14:33.080 --> 0:14:36.880 Yeah, I think so. I think first one really good, 0:14:36.960 --> 0:14:41.880 second one, just not as Chris and sharp. Yeah, I 0:14:41.880 --> 0:14:44.200 mean I think with the great ones are always kind 0:14:44.200 --> 0:14:47.880 of searching for perfection, which is hard to attain. But 0:14:48.400 --> 0:14:50.400 you know, you can always bet on him. I think 0:14:50.440 --> 0:14:52.480 that getting back here, I think he's excited to get 0:14:52.560 --> 0:14:55.360 on the mound again and expect to see a good 0:14:55.360 --> 0:14:55.760 one tonight. 0:14:55.880 --> 0:14:58.640 And we've talked about how you you never see a 0:14:58.720 --> 0:15:00.640 starter who will obviously take the game of the World 0:15:00.720 --> 0:15:02.000 Series in game six and comes. 0:15:01.840 --> 0:15:03.160 Out of the bullpen in game seven. 0:15:03.440 --> 0:15:04.920 But what did you just specifically learn? 0:15:06.040 --> 0:15:08.400 What you know, how he takes care of his body, 0:15:08.440 --> 0:15:10.040 how he shows up for his team, and how he 0:15:10.120 --> 0:15:11.760 was able to perform and do it in. 0:15:11.720 --> 0:15:13.040 Three games in the World Series. 0:15:13.640 --> 0:15:15.840 Yeah, And I think you can add to that game 0:15:15.920 --> 0:15:18.600 three when he got loose and was hot and didn't 0:15:18.600 --> 0:15:23.320 come into the game. So I think that you know, 0:15:23.440 --> 0:15:27.640 he's a guy that will do whatever it takes you 0:15:27.720 --> 0:15:29.480 know to help his team win. And I was thinking 0:15:29.480 --> 0:15:35.320 about this about a week ago. He's won Olympic gold medal. Right, 0:15:35.360 --> 0:15:37.560 I think he's won a medal Olympics. He's won a 0:15:37.600 --> 0:15:41.960 couple of WBCs, he's won a couple World Series Championships. 0:15:42.320 --> 0:15:44.800 He's won the cy Young you know, the best pitcher 0:15:44.800 --> 0:15:48.600 in Japan. So it's like, this guy's a winner, and 0:15:49.000 --> 0:15:52.560 he's shown that he'll do anything, he'll do whatever it 0:15:52.600 --> 0:15:55.040 takes to win, and so that's that's that's part of 0:15:55.080 --> 0:15:57.160 his DNN all that success. 0:15:57.600 --> 0:15:58.840 He doesn't lift weights. 0:15:59.320 --> 0:16:02.000 He said, yes that some players are starting to ask 0:16:02.080 --> 0:16:05.160 him about his route. Do you feel like some pitchers 0:16:05.160 --> 0:16:08.800 now they look at what he's done and maybe scale 0:16:08.880 --> 0:16:09.800 back on the weights. 0:16:11.080 --> 0:16:15.440 Yeah, I think that they should. You know, he's got 0:16:15.440 --> 0:16:18.720 a different body type. His body moves different than let 0:16:18.840 --> 0:16:23.360 you say, Emma Chan. But you know, I don't think 0:16:24.160 --> 0:16:27.360 you know, western world of sports, we've got it nailed 0:16:27.400 --> 0:16:29.240 as far as on the pitching because there's been so 0:16:29.280 --> 0:16:32.400 many injuries. So there's a lot of ways to you know, 0:16:32.520 --> 0:16:37.720 sort of prepare and he's obviously found what works for him. 0:16:38.200 --> 0:16:44.280 But any smart athlete baseball players should ask Yoshi what 0:16:44.360 --> 0:16:46.840 he does and why and see if it fits. 0:16:47.160 --> 0:16:49.640 Yeah, what he does to get warmth to work out 0:16:50.200 --> 0:16:54.160 different but certainly productive, and we'll see if it catches on. Well, 0:16:54.200 --> 0:16:56.920 continue here on Moroco Casino Dodgers on deck. We'll check 0:16:56.960 --> 0:16:58.920 in with David vad say so he leads out to 0:16:59.000 --> 0:17:02.160 first pitch from Dodgers and Blue Jays Game two, there's 0:17:02.160 --> 0:17:04.920 three game set Dodgers riding the four game winning street 0:17:04.960 --> 0:17:06.840 coming in.

Yoshinob Yamamoto, who you're 0:17:28.560 --> 0:17:31.000 gonna hear from, coming up in about twenty minutes, going 0:17:31.000 --> 0:17:33.920 against Kevin Gosman.

And it's 0:18:00.840 --> 0:18:03.480 been not the Big four necessarily that have done a 0:18:03.520 --> 0:18:04.400 lot of work, right. 0:18:05.680 --> 0:18:08.280 Yeah, When you look at the Dodgers bottom third of 0:18:08.359 --> 0:18:12.040 the order. Back in twenty twenty four, guys like Rojas, 0:18:12.160 --> 0:18:15.680 Gavin lux kek Hernandez were getting on base at a 0:18:15.800 --> 0:18:19.199 very high clip. But last year the bottom third of 0:18:19.240 --> 0:18:22.280 the Dodgers' orders struggled and Dave Roberts was searching for 0:18:22.320 --> 0:18:24.560 guys to get on base to turn that lineup over. 0:18:25.400 --> 0:18:28.280 They finished the regular season hitting two twenty eight with 0:18:28.320 --> 0:18:31.720 a non base percentage of only two ninety four. Fast 0:18:31.760 --> 0:18:35.720 forward to the beginning of this year, specifically during this 0:18:35.840 --> 0:18:39.119 four game winning streak where the Dodgers have scored forty 0:18:39.160 --> 0:18:42.359 five runs, the Dodgers bottom third of the order seven 0:18:42.400 --> 0:18:45.280 eight nine hitters are hitting a combined three fifty eight 0:18:45.320 --> 0:18:47.320 with a on base percentage of four to h two. 0:18:47.800 --> 0:18:52.000 That's not only turning the lineup over, but also giving 0:18:52.240 --> 0:18:56.879 sho Hal Tany, Kyle Tucker, and you know Will Smith, 0:18:57.000 --> 0:19:00.359 Freddie Freeman opportunities to drive them in. And we saw 0:19:00.400 --> 0:19:03.600 that last night where the Dodgers scored fourteen runs. The 0:19:03.640 --> 0:19:06.600 bottom third of the order was huge on getting on 0:19:06.680 --> 0:19:09.399 base and turning the lineup, over going first to third. 0:19:10.080 --> 0:19:12.919 All of those things matter and opponents. I remember this 0:19:13.000 --> 0:19:16.399 in twenty twenty four, people from the Padres side of 0:19:16.440 --> 0:19:19.440 things in twenty four said, our main goal in this 0:19:19.640 --> 0:19:23.240 NLDS is to keep the bottom of the order off 0:19:23.359 --> 0:19:26.760 base for when Otani comes to the plate, whether he's 0:19:26.800 --> 0:19:29.879 starting a fresh inning or coming up with nobody on 0:19:30.119 --> 0:19:34.359 during a particular inning. And right now, the bottom third 0:19:34.359 --> 0:19:36.720 of the order is doing their job and it's making 0:19:36.800 --> 0:19:39.080 life miserable for opponents. 0:19:39.200 --> 0:19:41.399 David is brought to by the Ford Maverick Motor Trends 0:19:41.400 --> 0:19:43.280 in North American Truck of the Year.
