Your Los Angeles Dodgers fifty one up, thirty two 4 00:00:18.679 --> 00:00:22.920 down on the season, first place atop the NL West. After getting walked 5 00:00:22.920 --> 00:00:26.480 off last night in San Francisco, the Dodgers look to get back on track 6 00:00:26.559 --> 00:00:30.440 this afternoon up at Oracle Park as they take on the Giants. Tyler Glass 7 00:00:30.480 --> 00:00:34.359 now on the mound, first pitch coming up at four fifteen. Between then 8 00:00:34.600 --> 00:00:38.000 and now, we got a lot to get to you here on Wronggo Casino 9 00:00:38.039 --> 00:00:41.479 Dodgers on Deck. You'll hear from the manager, Dave Roberts.

We'll check in 12 00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:52.399 throughout the show, and in just a few minutes we'll check in well. 13 00:00:52.479 --> 00:00:57.039 Rick Monday and Steven Nelson out the Galpin Motors Broadcast booth. Well, last 14 00:00:57.159 --> 00:01:02.000 night Landon Nack was pretty good, but the Dodgers offense couldn't come through down 15 00:01:02.039 --> 00:01:06.000 the stretch. The big right hander four and two third innings allowed one run 16 00:01:06.079 --> 00:01:08.680 on five hits. The Dodgers gave him a lead to work with, but 17 00:01:08.799 --> 00:01:12.280 not until the fifth inning. That's when the Dodgers got things going against Logan 18 00:01:12.359 --> 00:01:18.000 Webb. Miguel Rojas a leadoff single. The next batter, Gavin Lux eat 19 00:01:18.040 --> 00:01:21.439 off batter of board for the second time today. Gavin Luck swings to the 20 00:01:21.439 --> 00:01:23.719 first pitch, line drive left center field gap. That'll split the gap and 21 00:01:23.879 --> 00:01:27.040 one hop all the way to the wall. Rojas is gonna be waved around 22 00:01:27.040 --> 00:01:30.719 by Dino Evil? Is there gonna be a relay? No? An RBI 23 00:01:30.840 --> 00:01:36.680 double for Gavin Lucks. The Dodgers on the board first, Gavin Lunx with 24 00:01:36.799 --> 00:01:41.400 his eighth double of the season, his twentieth run batted in as the Dodgers 25 00:01:41.400 --> 00:01:44.760 took a one to nine in lead. Lux would advance to third on a 26 00:01:44.760 --> 00:01:49.480 wild pitch. Three batters later, up came Will Smith, we now north 27 00:01:49.480 --> 00:01:52.439 of seventy pitches, his seventy second. On the way to Will Smith, 28 00:01:52.799 --> 00:01:57.680 Will swings in lines up base, hitting the center field take that Lux will 29 00:01:57.680 --> 00:02:02.680 step on home plate. The Dodger lead. How about that? Indeed, 30 00:02:02.719 --> 00:02:07.920 Will Smith drives in a run, the Dodgers up two to nothing. Landing 31 00:02:07.039 --> 00:02:10.000 Neck had a two to nothing league going to the bottom of the fifth when 32 00:02:10.039 --> 00:02:14.360 Mantos would hit a solo home run to get the Giants on the board. 33 00:02:14.360 --> 00:02:17.080 It was a two to one Dodgers lead. In the sixth inning for a 34 00:02:17.159 --> 00:02:23.319 cal State Fullertson standout Matt Chapman a two run home run that gave the Giants 35 00:02:23.599 --> 00:02:27.759 a three to two lead. The Dodgers down but not out. In the 36 00:02:27.800 --> 00:02:31.560 top half of the ninth inning, Jason Hayward a sackfly, scoring Andy Piez, 37 00:02:31.560 --> 00:02:36.280 who hit a triple before that, that tied the game at three. 38 00:02:36.360 --> 00:02:39.879 The Dodgers had new life going to the bottom of the eighth with Blake Trinon 39 00:02:39.960 --> 00:02:46.599 on the mound when the Giants walked him off as a leadoff walk to Mantos. 40 00:02:46.639 --> 00:02:51.879 Fitzgerald pinch running. The Giants have the potential winning run on base, 41 00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:55.240 nobody out. In the bottom of the ninth, Trinon's one two pitch in 42 00:02:55.639 --> 00:03:01.439 yer right field hit deep wisely toss the pet That bowl is going. The 43 00:03:01.520 --> 00:03:07.360 Giants have walked it off. Somebody named Brent Wiseley with a two run walk 44 00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:10.439 off home run, just his third home run of the season. That one 45 00:03:10.520 --> 00:03:15.360 off Blake Trining in the bottom of the ninth inning as the Giants come back 46 00:03:15.479 --> 00:03:21.000 and win it. Last night they beat the Dodgers five to three, Daniel 47 00:03:21.039 --> 00:03:25.120 Hudson with the blown save Blake Trining. With the loss, the Dodgers have 48 00:03:25.240 --> 00:03:30.840 their four game winning streak come to win in. The Dodgers fall to fifty 49 00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:35.759 one and thirty two on this season, their lead in the division now seven 50 00:03:35.759 --> 00:03:38.840 and a half games over the San Diego Padres, eleven games up on the 51 00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:43.439 San Francisco Giants, who get the win in the series opener last night. 52 00:03:43.479 --> 00:03:46.599 But a new day, new game and Tyler Glass now on the mound for 53 00:03:46.680 --> 00:03:52.439 the Dodgers Game two of this three game weekend series from Oracle Park and with 54 00:03:52.520 --> 00:03:55.039 more, let's head up to the Bay Area the GALPU Moots broadcast booth and 55 00:03:55.080 --> 00:04:00.919 welcome in Rick Monday and Stephen Nelson, Guys, thank you to another gorgeous 56 00:04:00.039 --> 00:04:03.439 day here in San Francisco. Earlier start time, but maybe a little bit 57 00:04:03.479 --> 00:04:06.080 more wins today. MO, what do you think looking out here right now? 58 00:04:06.120 --> 00:04:09.680 Well, there's a little bit of wind and blowing out towards right center 59 00:04:09.719 --> 00:04:13.879 field at least to begin with one thing we know on the banks of the 60 00:04:13.960 --> 00:04:16.519 San Francisco Bay that win could change. And yeah, we get pretty good 61 00:04:16.560 --> 00:04:21.000 windage indication by just looking at the ships anchored out of the bay in which 62 00:04:21.040 --> 00:04:25.399 way that they are sitting at anchor. So, guy, he's blowing out 63 00:04:25.439 --> 00:04:28.879 towards the right center towards right field a little bit today. But we'll find 64 00:04:28.879 --> 00:04:32.199 out one thing about it. Also with the Tyler Glass now throwing, and 65 00:04:32.279 --> 00:04:35.879 he's given up eleven home runs, but for the most part, he does 66 00:04:35.959 --> 00:04:39.920 not have a lot of fly balls that are hit in the ball games, 67 00:04:39.959 --> 00:04:43.000 and he gets a lot of ground balls. In fact, six grounded into 68 00:04:43.000 --> 00:04:46.120 double plays. Hopefully he does that today. I would love that again. 69 00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:47.600 There's so many outings this year. We're like, this is the best we've 70 00:04:47.600 --> 00:04:50.279 seen tyler Glass. Now, wait, this is the best we've seen Tyler 71 00:04:50.319 --> 00:04:56.000 Glass. Now, but last start in the Freeway series seven innings against the 72 00:04:56.000 --> 00:04:59.720 Halo shut him down, only one to earn run, struck out ten and 73 00:04:59.759 --> 00:05:02.240 he we got through those innings on just seventy four pitches. Yeah, and 74 00:05:03.079 --> 00:05:06.079 he attacks the strike celle, there's no offens and butts about it. You 75 00:05:06.079 --> 00:05:09.399 know, this is a big games, a big series, the last series 76 00:05:09.399 --> 00:05:14.240 the Dodgers will play in San Francisco this year during the regular season itself. 77 00:05:14.600 --> 00:05:17.199 And yesterday last night the seventh sellout that they've had. They expect a big 78 00:05:17.240 --> 00:05:20.399 crowd today as well. Don't know if you noticed it coming in the buses 79 00:05:20.480 --> 00:05:25.399 or none. If you want to park right across the street from the ballpark 80 00:05:25.439 --> 00:05:30.079 today, the charge is one hundred and fifty dollars. And as we were 81 00:05:30.079 --> 00:05:31.759 waiting for the busses to pull in, we saw two cars pull in. 82 00:05:32.639 --> 00:05:36.120 They had their hands out. They put the cars in reverse and they back 83 00:05:36.160 --> 00:05:39.759 down. They decided to go somewhere else and walk a little bit farther. 84 00:05:39.920 --> 00:05:45.120 Yes, can I please put this on Rick Monday's tab Rick without to park 85 00:05:45.199 --> 00:05:48.079 the garden Monday with an m Yeah, a hard pass, hard pass. 86 00:05:48.120 --> 00:05:51.199 So last night, you know, the win didn't matter for the three balls 87 00:05:51.240 --> 00:05:55.920 that were hit by the San Francisco Giants that left the yard, Matos Chapman 88 00:05:56.040 --> 00:06:00.439 and then Brett Wisey's first career walk off hit, the two rung shot off 89 00:06:00.439 --> 00:06:04.439 Blake Trent, and the Dodgers walked off for the fourth time this year. 90 00:06:04.879 --> 00:06:09.920 I want to say, mo and so that ended a couple of streaks. 91 00:06:09.959 --> 00:06:13.839 Yesterday, the win streak ends at four. Show hey, with Tany's RBI 92 00:06:14.000 --> 00:06:16.959 streak ended at ten. Yeah, he'll get over it. I know that 93 00:06:17.000 --> 00:06:21.920 from it. I know that from a personal situation has ended at ten. 94 00:06:23.079 --> 00:06:26.560 So he had just started another one today. Knows out of respect for you 95 00:06:26.600 --> 00:06:30.480 that he did not drive in a run right, Yeah, trust me, 96 00:06:30.519 --> 00:06:33.000 he was totally oblivious to that. All right, Tim, We are going 97 00:06:33.040 --> 00:06:35.720 to step aside here for now. We'll come back in a little bit talk 98 00:06:35.800 --> 00:06:41.839 more about Tyler Glass now and the bullpen that the Dodgers will face today in 99 00:06:41.879 --> 00:06:45.160 Game two of this series.

Dodgers and Giants from San Francisco on this Saturday afternoon, Game two 112 00:07:38.079 --> 00:07:41.800 of this three game weekend series, Tyler Glass now on the Mountains. The 113 00:07:41.879 --> 00:07:45.759 Dodgers look to bounce back from a walk off loss last night. First pitch 114 00:07:45.759 --> 00:07:54.000 of Oracle Parks coming up at four fifteen. This is the Otani Rewhy Show. 115 00:07:54.040 --> 00:07:57.560 Hey Otani won for three last night with a walk on base twice, 116 00:07:57.600 --> 00:08:01.519 now hitting three twenty two on this season. He did have his ten game 117 00:08:01.560 --> 00:08:05.079 consecutive streak of having an RBI come to an in last night as the Dodgers 118 00:08:05.079 --> 00:08:09.079 get walked off by San Francisco five to three. The O Tani rewind brought 119 00:08:09.079 --> 00:08:13.839 to you by Eto Nso, Japan's number one Green Tea and the tea that 120 00:08:13.959 --> 00:08:18.279 show Hey Otani Loves and drinks available to local diso stores Amazon at eto in 121 00:08:18.399 --> 00:08:22.720 dot com. That's I t O E n dot Com. Land and Nac 122 00:08:22.759 --> 00:08:26.639 did not factor in the decision last night. He pitched really well four and 123 00:08:26.680 --> 00:08:30.279 two third Indians, gave it just one run on five hit, struck out 124 00:08:30.319 --> 00:08:33.919 seven along the way. The lone run that he gave up came on Almato's 125 00:08:33.919 --> 00:08:35.600 home run in the bottom half of the fifth inning and that was it. 126 00:08:37.000 --> 00:08:39.120 That left with the two to one Dodgers lead, but would leave and not 127 00:08:39.159 --> 00:08:41.799 get a decision in the game when it was all said and done, and 128 00:08:41.879 --> 00:08:46.200 afterwards, Land and Nac talk with the media. I feel I feel like 129 00:08:46.240 --> 00:08:48.279 at the very beginning of the game, my throw was like a little off. 130 00:08:48.279 --> 00:08:50.360 We were we were still making pitches when we need to, but that 131 00:08:50.480 --> 00:08:52.159 was just a little off. And then kind of got my curve ball going 132 00:08:52.200 --> 00:08:54.080 a little bit, and I think that kind of like locked in the rest 133 00:08:54.120 --> 00:08:58.320 of the throw, and so after that, like some things felt much much 134 00:08:58.360 --> 00:09:03.279 easier. And then yeah, fifth inning, you know, leave one over 135 00:09:03.320 --> 00:09:07.240 the plate obviously sometimes it's gonna happen, and then a couple of singles, 136 00:09:07.279 --> 00:09:11.240 but you know, stuff all good. Dave said ahead of your adding that 137 00:09:11.279 --> 00:09:15.159 the focus was just going as long as you can, as far as you 138 00:09:15.200 --> 00:09:16.600 can. How do you just kind of manage yourself? I guess when that's 139 00:09:16.720 --> 00:09:20.200 kind of what's being told to you and you're trying to kind of get deep 140 00:09:20.200 --> 00:09:22.559 into the game things like that, I mean, you just kind of have 141 00:09:22.639 --> 00:09:24.960 to continue to go all out until it's your time to come out and make 142 00:09:24.960 --> 00:09:28.639 sure that you're kind of going all out every pitch because I mean, yeah 143 00:09:28.759 --> 00:09:31.679 again, like you don't know when your last pitch is, so I mean 144 00:09:31.679 --> 00:09:33.679 one hundred percent just trying to go all out the entire time and make every 145 00:09:33.759 --> 00:09:37.039 pitch like it's going to be your last one and just keep on going. 146 00:09:37.279 --> 00:09:39.519 We're trying to go with that home run pitch, I was trying to go 147 00:09:39.559 --> 00:09:43.080 down in a way it just kind of leaked a little up middle a little 148 00:09:43.080 --> 00:09:46.240 bit and just kind of came back on me. What do you sort of 149 00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:48.080 allowed you to start? I know, obviously being up and down while also 150 00:09:48.240 --> 00:09:50.600 being a rookie and trying to get your funeraly, Like, where's allowed you 151 00:09:50.679 --> 00:09:54.759 to sort of have the success you've had there at beginning since your big career 152 00:09:54.799 --> 00:09:58.360 At this point, I think it's it's just been kind of continuing to do 153 00:09:58.440 --> 00:10:01.159 my routine, kind of treat every odding the same little bit. It's like 154 00:10:01.159 --> 00:10:05.039 getting up here and understanding that you don't need to do extra. You just 155 00:10:05.039 --> 00:10:07.799 need to make sure that you are executing your pitches, You're keeping them off 156 00:10:07.799 --> 00:10:11.919 balance and kind of moving things around and just not over complicating things on yourself. 157 00:10:13.120 --> 00:10:15.519 Do you any different having it's a little bit of a runway now in 158 00:10:15.559 --> 00:10:20.120 the rotation. I mean we continue to keep the same mindset, continue to 159 00:10:20.200 --> 00:10:22.799 like you never know when your last ounting is up here. You just got 160 00:10:22.799 --> 00:10:26.120 to continue to take it day by day and just continue to work on your 161 00:10:26.120 --> 00:10:28.039 craft. All right, there's landed Neck. Last night did not factor the 162 00:10:28.080 --> 00:10:33.200 decision four and two third Indians gave up just the one run on five hit 163 00:10:33.279 --> 00:10:35.960 struckout seven.

This is Marongo Cassino Dodgers 174 00:11:16.200 --> 00:11:26.120 Hunting Game on your home for LA Dodgers Baseball.

We're leading up to Dodgers and the Giants or Oracle Park in 177 00:11:35.600 --> 00:11:39.600 San Francisco, Game two of this three game weekend series. First pitch coming 178 00:11:39.679 --> 00:11:46.080 up at four fifteen. He's the LA Dodgers injury report. Here's it of 179 00:11:46.120 --> 00:11:50.919 my UCLA Healthy official medical partner of your Los Angeles Dodgers. Mookie Bets on 180 00:11:50.919 --> 00:11:54.200 the IL with a fractured hand, Yoshio Willyama Mota on the IEL at the 181 00:11:54.200 --> 00:11:58.600 strain road rotator cuff, Walker Buehler on the IL at the right hip soreness. 182 00:11:58.639 --> 00:12:01.799 Michael Grove on the IL right Brazier on the IL, Clayton Kershaw on 183 00:12:01.840 --> 00:12:05.720 the IL, Max Munsey on the I L. Even though he is starting 184 00:12:05.759 --> 00:12:09.320 to do baseball activities, Clayton Kershaw is gonna start throwing again after a week 185 00:12:09.440 --> 00:12:13.320 hiatus coming up later on next week. All right, let's find out more 186 00:12:13.360 --> 00:12:18.000 if we check out with the Dodger skipper An questions for Dave? Dave, 187 00:12:18.080 --> 00:12:24.320 can you just describe Dave? Can you talk about the pressure in the dugouts 188 00:12:24.360 --> 00:12:30.240 with Dave Roberts. You got a glass now today four to fifteen start, 189 00:12:30.480 --> 00:12:33.320 You expect shadows, and I know that's talked about a lot, but how 190 00:12:33.399 --> 00:12:37.519 much of an advantage, even more of an advantage is that for Tyler? 191 00:12:37.960 --> 00:12:43.080 You know, it's certainly an advantage for any pitcher. I think with the 192 00:12:41.720 --> 00:12:48.320 fifteen start in the summer, it's gonna affect the game. Later, so 193 00:12:48.399 --> 00:12:52.080 I think for us it'll be kind of the later innings, right, I 194 00:12:52.120 --> 00:12:56.039 think the shadows, well, we'll come into play. But you know, 195 00:12:56.120 --> 00:13:01.120 right now, Tyler's throwing the baseball extremely well. You know, it's two 196 00:13:01.120 --> 00:13:05.080 fastballs, it's the slider, it's the break in ball. So he's on 197 00:13:05.120 --> 00:13:07.240 a good right now. So I'm excited to see what happens tonight. You 198 00:13:07.279 --> 00:13:11.600 know about openers and how to construct the lineup, what went into the thinking 199 00:13:11.639 --> 00:13:16.679 and what you're expecting. As far as the pitching deployment from the Giant side, 200 00:13:16.200 --> 00:13:20.960 you know, obviously they got this kid going and it should probably be 201 00:13:20.279 --> 00:13:24.960 one inning. That's kind of how they they've used him. So my first 202 00:13:26.039 --> 00:13:31.039 hitter outside of the you know show Hey and Freddie is Jason in the sixth, 203 00:13:31.039 --> 00:13:33.759 which I don't think that they'll get there. So it's a balanced lineup, 204 00:13:35.279 --> 00:13:39.840 and I feel that the guys we ran out there today it's going to 205 00:13:39.879 --> 00:13:43.000 be heavy, right I think, coming out of their pen. So we 206 00:13:43.279 --> 00:13:46.960 met up pretty well today. I think. I know he plays against lefties 207 00:13:46.159 --> 00:13:52.759 and that happens not as often as righty's but as far as Miguel Vargas goes 208 00:13:52.279 --> 00:13:56.279 the second time around, what have you seen from him that has made him 209 00:13:56.720 --> 00:14:03.320 be more successful? You know, it's it's a situation with the roster where 210 00:14:03.320 --> 00:14:09.919 we're at that McGee's only Vargas is only playing verse left. But he's a 211 00:14:09.960 --> 00:14:15.279 guy that's built to play every day. I trust him first right handed pitching. 212 00:14:15.679 --> 00:14:20.480 It's just with who we have giving other guys the opportunity to play versus 213 00:14:20.519 --> 00:14:24.879 right handers. I see a lot of confidence. He's watching the game, 214 00:14:24.960 --> 00:14:28.840 he's prepared, his swing is in a considerably better place. He's taken more 215 00:14:28.840 --> 00:14:33.840 aggressive swings, and he's really cleaned a lot of things up. So really 216 00:14:33.879 --> 00:14:37.879 excited to see, you know what he's done. You know, he looked 217 00:14:37.919 --> 00:14:41.919 back a year ago and he's a completely different player and person than he was 218 00:14:41.000 --> 00:14:43.240 last year. How was he taken to that kind of role and how much 219 00:14:43.320 --> 00:14:46.240 is that sort of confidence he has right now for a player role to being 220 00:14:46.240 --> 00:14:50.159 away with that? You know, he's I don't think he's okay with it, 221 00:14:50.240 --> 00:14:56.240 and I don't expect it, but I think he understands what's around him. 222 00:14:56.279 --> 00:15:00.240 It certainly beats triple A, and I think the good thing about him 223 00:15:00.360 --> 00:15:05.840 is that he's not letting his lack of opportunity affect his mindset. All right, 224 00:15:05.840 --> 00:15:07.799 there's Dave robers down the dugout and talking a lot about Miguel Vargas. 225 00:15:07.840 --> 00:15:11.120 Brought to you by Service Titan.

I accept everybody for who they are. This is Dodger insider David 238 00:16:15.159 --> 00:16:18.879 Basale. All right, DV. We heard your conversation with the man of 239 00:16:18.919 --> 00:16:22.360 the hour yesterday, Javier the bad Boy, and uh, well, are 240 00:16:22.399 --> 00:16:26.440 his five minutes of fame over? DV? I'm afraid so, Tim, 241 00:16:26.840 --> 00:16:32.120 Xavier the bad Boy is just a bad boy again and a clubhouse attendant, 242 00:16:32.159 --> 00:16:36.639 but a very good one. And he took all of that in great stride, 243 00:16:36.639 --> 00:16:41.039 a little nervous when he spoke to the Japanese media yesterday with the same 244 00:16:41.120 --> 00:16:45.840 backdrop, by the way that Otani and Yamamoto speak to the Japanese media with. 245 00:16:47.039 --> 00:16:51.320 So he's just back to normal old Javier. Now, we heard Dave 246 00:16:51.399 --> 00:16:53.960 Roberts a little bit eluding you asked a question about Miguel Vargas. David, 247 00:16:55.559 --> 00:16:57.799 this is a different Miguel Vargas, and we saw the first half of last 248 00:16:57.840 --> 00:17:02.799 year, isn't it. Yeah, And what Dave Roberts said is one hundred 249 00:17:02.840 --> 00:17:07.119 percent true. Miguel Vargas loves being in the major leagues. Even if he's 250 00:17:07.160 --> 00:17:11.400 not playing every day, it's still a better life than obviously the minor leagues. 251 00:17:11.400 --> 00:17:15.559 But Miguel Vargas told me earlier this afternoon that you know what, I 252 00:17:15.599 --> 00:17:18.480 want to play every day when I don't see my name in the lineup, 253 00:17:18.640 --> 00:17:22.960 yeah, my feelings get in the way, but I put my feelings in 254 00:17:22.039 --> 00:17:26.720 this locker, and once I put my uniform on, no more feelings. 255 00:17:26.759 --> 00:17:30.079 I'm part of the team, and whatever they need me to do, whenever 256 00:17:30.119 --> 00:17:33.000 they call upon me, that's what I'm going to do. So that's a 257 00:17:33.039 --> 00:17:37.559 sign of maturity that Dave Roberts was talking about. And it's not just Miguel 258 00:17:37.640 --> 00:17:42.519 Vargas saying that to Dave Roberts, but those are his actions, and when 259 00:17:42.519 --> 00:17:48.559 he says it to somebody like me, who obviously I don't have as much 260 00:17:48.559 --> 00:17:52.720 influence on things as Dave Roberts does, that's genuine. And Miguel Vargus loves 261 00:17:52.720 --> 00:17:56.480 being part of this team. And like he told me, he said, 262 00:17:56.920 --> 00:18:00.079 he puts his feelings in his locker if he's not playing, but he's read 263 00:18:00.440 --> 00:18:03.839 whenever called upon. David is driven by the fort F series, America's best 264 00:18:03.880 --> 00:18:07.920 selling trucks for forty seven years and counting Ford gives you freedom of choice. 265 00:18:07.960 --> 00:18:12.160 Gas hybrid electric head of your Southern California Ford Dealers and find yours fort F 266 00:18:12.240 --> 00:18:15.400 series built tough. There's a guy a couple boosts down from you. I 267 00:18:15.400 --> 00:18:19.759 believe DV that celebrating a big anniversary today. We'll hear the highlight coming up 268 00:18:19.880 --> 00:18:22.519 in just a couple of minutes. But it's a big day for him, 269 00:18:22.839 --> 00:18:27.200 it really is. And you're talking about Fernando Valenzuela, who did not make 270 00:18:27.279 --> 00:18:33.279 the trip to San Francisco. Tim he's parts unknown in Los Angeles, Greater 271 00:18:33.400 --> 00:18:37.240 Los Angeles right now. But yes, it's fitting since number thirty four was 272 00:18:37.359 --> 00:18:45.279 retired and today is the thirty fourth anniversary of Fernando Valezuela's one and only career 273 00:18:45.400 --> 00:18:49.880 no hitter. It was against the Saint Louis Cardinals, and interesting enough, 274 00:18:51.319 --> 00:18:56.559 his former teammate Pedro Guerrero, who at the time was playing for the Cardinals, 275 00:18:56.920 --> 00:19:02.319 grounded into the game ending double play. It was up the middle want 276 00:19:02.440 --> 00:19:06.920 Samuell was the second baseman for the Dodgers. He stepped on the second base 277 00:19:07.000 --> 00:19:11.119 bag and threw it over to the then first baseman, Hall of Famer Eddie 278 00:19:11.200 --> 00:19:17.839 Murray for the Dodgers, and Fernando embraced Mike Sooshia, his longtime friend, 279 00:19:17.920 --> 00:19:22.039 longtime catcher, as they celebrated his one and only career no hitter, And 280 00:19:22.079 --> 00:19:27.440 obviously Vin Scully made that very famous call, if you have a sombrero, 281 00:19:27.759 --> 00:19:30.079 throw it to the sky. Yeah, we'll hear it coming up in just 282 00:19:30.119 --> 00:19:36.400 a couple of minutes. David kek Hernandez. What adjustments is he making or 283 00:19:36.440 --> 00:19:38.880 not making right now? Yeah? Not sure. If you noticed this Tim 284 00:19:40.079 --> 00:19:44.799 Wednesday night in Chicago, he had a very different batting stance. He was 285 00:19:45.160 --> 00:19:48.519 a little bit more with his hands away from his body and the bat a 286 00:19:48.519 --> 00:19:52.720 little bit more straight up to the sky. And I talked to Aaron Bates, 287 00:19:52.880 --> 00:19:56.359 one of the Dodgers hitting coaches, about it yesterday, and he told 288 00:19:56.359 --> 00:20:02.039 me that's an adjustment they decided to go with to keep Key Kate behind the 289 00:20:02.079 --> 00:20:04.920 baseball. It has to do with his hips and how it triggers his hips, 290 00:20:04.920 --> 00:20:08.759 and not to get a little bit too ahead of himself. So even 291 00:20:08.799 --> 00:20:15.480 a guy that's ten years in his major league career making adjustments because obviously he 292 00:20:15.559 --> 00:20:18.240 has not been hitting the ball that well, and he has made an adjustment 293 00:20:18.359 --> 00:20:22.880 just to trigger the hips a little bit differently. All right, DV. 294 00:20:22.960 --> 00:20:25.240 Appreciate it, great stuff. We'll check back with you in just a little 295 00:20:25.279 --> 00:20:27.559 bit. Also looking forward to your conversation with Evan Phillips that's coming up in 296 00:20:27.559 --> 00:20:32.079 about twenty minutes.

Hey, you may be onto something I did not like 334 00:23:45.079 --> 00:23:49.920 hitting with shadows in particular, David, here's the shadows part that to me 335 00:23:51.119 --> 00:23:56.640 was the most difficult, and that's when the infield is in dark shadow and 336 00:23:56.680 --> 00:24:00.599 then you're looking at a very bright, I mean a very bright illuminated background. 337 00:24:02.480 --> 00:24:06.240 Also, if that shadow is about three quarters away from home plate to 338 00:24:06.559 --> 00:24:08.759 the mound, the guy who's delivering the balls in bright sunshine, then it 339 00:24:08.799 --> 00:24:12.680 goes into the dark shadows, and from a hitter's perspective, it's like you 340 00:24:12.759 --> 00:24:17.079 lose the ball for a few feet because it goes from illuminated to all of 341 00:24:17.119 --> 00:24:22.720 a sudden in shadows. It also presents a problem defensively because you're standing at 342 00:24:22.720 --> 00:24:27.400 bright sunshine. It's like standing on the beach and you're looking into dark shadows 343 00:24:27.400 --> 00:24:32.759 at home plate. Not as much here as Wrigley Field. I think Wrigleyfield 344 00:24:32.880 --> 00:24:36.880 can be the most difficult, and the reason is because the way the stands 345 00:24:36.920 --> 00:24:41.640 are stacked upon themselves so much, you know Dodger's standing for example, they're 346 00:24:41.680 --> 00:24:47.200 moved back, so one is not really creating a dark shadow on the all 347 00:24:47.240 --> 00:24:49.279 the way down on the field level. But it is more difficult here, 348 00:24:49.319 --> 00:24:52.319 and I think that's where you see some outfielders that maybe lose a step in 349 00:24:52.359 --> 00:24:56.720 trying to go after the ball, not really picking it up immediately off the 350 00:24:56.759 --> 00:25:00.599 bat. Last night, speaking of outfielders not picking up the ball, it 351 00:25:00.720 --> 00:25:03.759 was an exciting play. I told Andy pa Has a few minutes ago how 352 00:25:03.799 --> 00:25:07.720 exciting his triple was. In the ninth inning. Elliott Ramos was there, 353 00:25:07.759 --> 00:25:11.759 but it clanked off his glove. He climbed it. You know the other 354 00:25:11.759 --> 00:25:15.680 thing about Paz Jose Moden I talked about this on the bus to the ballpark 355 00:25:15.720 --> 00:25:21.680 this morning. Anie pie has showed me something last night, not necessarily with 356 00:25:21.720 --> 00:25:25.279 that triple, with a pitch that was inside to him, that was upstairs, 357 00:25:26.440 --> 00:25:30.400 and he gets back and he's just stared out at the pitcher. Now, 358 00:25:30.480 --> 00:25:34.240 stairs don't win ball games, but the fact that here's a young man 359 00:25:34.319 --> 00:25:37.079 that hey, look, you're not going to intimidate me. And it was 360 00:25:37.160 --> 00:25:40.759 right after that he took a good swing. So those are the little things 361 00:25:40.759 --> 00:25:45.119 that I look at for young players, how they're maturing, how they're not 362 00:25:45.240 --> 00:25:48.279 going into a corner, how they're not going to be intimidated. And for 363 00:25:48.319 --> 00:25:51.599 Adie Pyez, he is not going to be intimidated. It's funny you bring 364 00:25:51.599 --> 00:25:55.680 that up because He also told me that that pitch inside and he motioned inside 365 00:25:55.720 --> 00:25:57.559 and I said, hey, we saw you look out to Duvall. He 366 00:25:57.599 --> 00:26:02.359 said, I did, okay, I'm not going to be scared good exactly, 367 00:26:02.680 --> 00:26:07.480 And I love that because you cannot you can't whimper, you know, 368 00:26:07.599 --> 00:26:11.640 the old saying there's no crying in baseball, at least not publicly. But 369 00:26:11.000 --> 00:26:15.000 how do you react right then and there immediately? And when he showed that 370 00:26:15.720 --> 00:26:18.799 to me, he's going to be just absolutely fine. Not that he had 371 00:26:18.799 --> 00:26:23.559 to prove that to me. He's really advanced beyond his years and what he's 372 00:26:23.599 --> 00:26:29.960 doing really in the pressure cooker and playing a difficult position up the middle. 373 00:26:30.200 --> 00:26:33.000 You have to be strong up the middle, and he's helped be strong up 374 00:26:33.000 --> 00:26:36.119 the middle. Hey, he said one hundred miles an hour and emotion as 375 00:26:36.480 --> 00:26:38.960 Devall buzzed the tower. Yeah, in the FASc lating and you can see 376 00:26:40.240 --> 00:26:44.440 close to one hundred. With the starter for the Giants today, who is 377 00:26:44.480 --> 00:26:47.680 going to go the first inning? So it's going to be bullpen back committee. 378 00:26:47.680 --> 00:26:49.640 We'll see how it goes. The Giants bull been comes in. They're 379 00:26:49.640 --> 00:26:52.559 a little bit gassed, as far as you know. They had to be 380 00:26:52.640 --> 00:26:56.599 used a lot during the series preceding the Dodger's coming into town. We'll find 381 00:26:56.640 --> 00:27:02.000 out how that happens to work out as well. Knew obviously as they rotate 382 00:27:02.119 --> 00:27:06.680 umpires around the diamond. Last night, rookie Edwin Jimenez had a rough night. 383 00:27:06.759 --> 00:27:08.400 And when I know he had a rough night, Rick is when a 384 00:27:08.400 --> 00:27:12.599 player like Will Smith, who's the catcher A and B doesn't complain a lot 385 00:27:12.720 --> 00:27:17.240 is complaining. The antennas go up a little bit more. Yeah, well, 386 00:27:17.319 --> 00:27:19.279 let me give you the report and we do this and I said last 387 00:27:19.359 --> 00:27:22.559 night, and not to single out umpires. They have a very difficult job 388 00:27:22.640 --> 00:27:27.119 to do. But if if an infielder misses the ball and outfielder misses the 389 00:27:27.160 --> 00:27:30.680 ball or doesn't get a good jump, we talk about it where the eyes 390 00:27:30.720 --> 00:27:33.119 and ears and people in their cars are at home listening to the radio don't 391 00:27:33.160 --> 00:27:36.880 know what happened, and it's our job to say, have a bad swing 392 00:27:36.920 --> 00:27:40.799 on a bad pitch. We talk about it. Well with the Edwin Jimenez, 393 00:27:41.079 --> 00:27:45.000 who is a rookie umpire. You know, if you're one hundred percent 394 00:27:45.079 --> 00:27:47.599 right, then there's a great line. I think it was. Bill Kunkle 395 00:27:47.759 --> 00:27:52.000 was americaly umpire at the time when it was Separate American and Nashal came out 396 00:27:52.000 --> 00:27:55.480 with a line that says, people expect you to be one hundred percent right 397 00:27:55.559 --> 00:27:57.920 on opening day and get better as the season goes along. Well for mister 398 00:27:59.000 --> 00:28:04.759 Jimenez, his rating last night in called Strike's accuracy was only seventy four percent. 399 00:28:06.160 --> 00:28:08.240 That's the lowest rating that we have seen of a major league umpire in 400 00:28:08.279 --> 00:28:11.240 a game this year. I'm a big believer, Rick. When a player 401 00:28:11.400 --> 00:28:15.920 like yourself did back in the day have a bad game, or anybody on 402 00:28:15.960 --> 00:28:18.759 the Dodgers has a bad game, they have to stand up and talk publicly 403 00:28:18.880 --> 00:28:22.200 to the media. Yep, don't it. I feel like umpires get let 404 00:28:22.240 --> 00:28:26.160 off the hook a lot of times. Yeah, because they're not approachable. 405 00:28:26.200 --> 00:28:30.000 If there is a controversial play, there will be a crew chief that may 406 00:28:30.240 --> 00:28:34.839 engage, doesn't have to, but may engage with a question or two from 407 00:28:34.920 --> 00:28:38.680 the media, but they'll send a pull reporter in the room. Well, 408 00:28:38.680 --> 00:28:45.039 I said last night in the broadcast that the homeplate umpire last night was getting 409 00:28:45.079 --> 00:28:49.559 more looks in a department store window with a fire sales sign posted up in 410 00:28:49.640 --> 00:28:55.079 it. That's the best way to describe it as only Rick Monday can is 411 00:28:55.079 --> 00:28:57.599 our time? Up? It is Rick, I'll bring you some garlic fries. 412 00:28:57.640 --> 00:29:02.079 A little bit later, Hey, I a bad idea. Thanks Rack. 413 00:29:02.160 --> 00:29:03.880 We'll check in with you and Steven Nelson a little bit later. Forward 414 00:29:03.920 --> 00:29:07.400 to it, David. We'll send it back to Tim Kates in the studio. 415 00:29:07.559 --> 00:29:10.079 Thanks a lot of DV.

Dodgers Baseball's presented by Children's Hospital Los Angeles. When 427 00:30:03.319 --> 00:30:06.599 you need the very best care for your child, one place to go. 428 00:30:06.839 --> 00:30:11.880 It's the best Children's Hospital LA.

Find the right doctor at c HLA dot org. 430 00:30:17.960 --> 00:30:22.640 And now what will likely be vast fielding insults from a Dodger player, 431 00:30:22.680 --> 00:30:26.720 It's an engagement of endearment. This is high and tight. We're joined right 432 00:30:26.759 --> 00:30:32.319 now by the Dodgers super reliever who checks his ego at the door but performs 433 00:30:32.359 --> 00:30:34.799 like a champion every night for the Dodgers, and that is Evan Phillips. 434 00:30:34.799 --> 00:30:37.519 Evan, thanks a lot for the time. Appreciate it. Yeah, of 435 00:30:37.519 --> 00:30:40.519 course, David, thanks for having me. I had to break up my 436 00:30:40.559 --> 00:30:44.079 conversation with Blake Snow when I saw you playing catch. Your catch time was 437 00:30:44.119 --> 00:30:47.359 over. I had a jog over here. Well, I appreciate you making 438 00:30:47.359 --> 00:30:51.039 the time for me to I sorry to interrupt your combo, but you absolutely 439 00:30:51.119 --> 00:30:53.160 I feel like I had to tell you that full disclosure because so many of 440 00:30:53.160 --> 00:30:56.480 your teammates get upset when I talk to him. Not a problem with me. 441 00:30:56.519 --> 00:31:02.359 I appreciate the honesty. And when I said, you check your ego 442 00:31:02.400 --> 00:31:07.559 at the door. There's not too many relievers that obviously get the line's share 443 00:31:07.599 --> 00:31:11.759 of the ninth inning but also understands the role and the importance of pitching in 444 00:31:11.920 --> 00:31:18.359 other innings. How has that been able to stay consistent with you? You 445 00:31:18.400 --> 00:31:19.559 know, I've ut my role and as a major league pitcher, it has 446 00:31:19.559 --> 00:31:22.519 always kind of been flexible up until the past you know, year or two. 447 00:31:22.559 --> 00:31:26.599 So I've understood the value of of every out throughout the ball game, 448 00:31:27.000 --> 00:31:30.599 and uh, you know, the Dodgers value those same things. So I 449 00:31:30.599 --> 00:31:33.960 think, uh, it's kind of like a perfect harmony when you know that's 450 00:31:33.039 --> 00:31:37.119 mindset and it combines with their mindset to get the job done, to win 451 00:31:37.160 --> 00:31:41.039 the game. Right. So, me being versatile in some different roles when 452 00:31:41.039 --> 00:31:44.720 called upon, I think in me having a you know, pretty standard mindset 453 00:31:44.759 --> 00:31:45.920 with that I got, I don't get, you know, to uppor two 454 00:31:47.000 --> 00:31:49.839 down based on what inning I'm throwing. I think it allows us to put 455 00:31:49.839 --> 00:31:52.400 the you know, best you know, guys out there and their roles to 456 00:31:52.440 --> 00:31:55.599 win the game, and you know, more often than not that is going 457 00:31:55.680 --> 00:31:57.400 to be me in the ninth inning to finish the game. But I think 458 00:31:57.400 --> 00:32:00.519 it provides flexibility in our bullpen, and I think you know, the seven 459 00:32:00.559 --> 00:32:04.599 other guys down in the pen, whoever we have on a given days, 460 00:32:05.000 --> 00:32:07.160 they're also willing to do the same thing. I thought the great example of 461 00:32:07.200 --> 00:32:12.759 that was in Chicago. You face the same groupings of hitters in the eighth 462 00:32:12.799 --> 00:32:15.000 inning one night, and then the same in the ninth inning. Yeah, 463 00:32:15.039 --> 00:32:19.559 exactly, And I think you know that speaks volumes to how we'll approach, 464 00:32:19.720 --> 00:32:22.359 you know, certain lineups in certain games. So I think, uh, 465 00:32:22.599 --> 00:32:25.240 you know, not being you know, afraid of those situations and you try 466 00:32:25.279 --> 00:32:29.440 not to have you know, too much ego to say that I should only 467 00:32:29.440 --> 00:32:32.559 pitch in the ninth inning or for whatever reason that may be. Yeah, 468 00:32:32.599 --> 00:32:35.680 I owe a lot to this team, So I'm certainly not going to be 469 00:32:35.680 --> 00:32:37.119 the kind of guy that you know is stubborn about when I'm gonna pitch. 470 00:32:37.119 --> 00:32:40.519 I'm happy to do whatever is and preferably it's one that's helping us win. 471 00:32:40.680 --> 00:32:45.799 Yeah, it feels like we all need constant reminders. When it comes to 472 00:32:45.839 --> 00:32:49.720 the Dodgers, it's not about the inning that you pitch in, but the 473 00:32:49.799 --> 00:32:52.319 groupings of hitters that you're prepared for. Yeah, more often than not, 474 00:32:52.480 --> 00:32:57.400 you know, especially earlier, and you know when the bullpen got started to 475 00:32:57.400 --> 00:32:59.880 get into the game, it's all about their laying and about you know, 476 00:33:00.039 --> 00:33:02.599 what sequence of hitters is coming up with the score is you know, certain 477 00:33:02.680 --> 00:33:07.400 kind of leverage situations like that. Those are all indicators of who's going to 478 00:33:07.480 --> 00:33:09.799 go win win, Uh. You know. Bullpen availability is another thing that 479 00:33:09.839 --> 00:33:13.799 comes into play. You'll see from time to time when we have to force 480 00:33:13.839 --> 00:33:15.640 guys into different spots because we have you know, pittures that are down that 481 00:33:15.720 --> 00:33:19.559 day, things like that. But I'll tell you what, just the way 482 00:33:20.000 --> 00:33:22.839 all that information is communicated, you know, day in day out here is 483 00:33:22.119 --> 00:33:27.839 what makes this machine run so well. Heavian Phillips is our guest super reliever 484 00:33:28.079 --> 00:33:32.440 for the Dodgers. You've had success now two three years running with the Dodgers. 485 00:33:32.759 --> 00:33:36.680 Do you feel like you've taken the next level now where you're starting to 486 00:33:36.759 --> 00:33:39.920 read swings from hitters and be able to make those adjustments in real time. 487 00:33:40.440 --> 00:33:43.480 You know, I really don't even know if it's about, you know, 488 00:33:43.559 --> 00:33:45.680 the the in game adjustments to the hitters. I think it's it's still all 489 00:33:45.720 --> 00:33:51.160 about what I'm doing out there. I think our preparation and our preparation and 490 00:33:51.279 --> 00:33:53.599 our you know, attack plan is always going to be what we fall back 491 00:33:53.640 --> 00:33:57.240 on. There may be moments where you have to react to what the hitter 492 00:33:57.279 --> 00:33:59.920 is telling you, but more often than not, we're gonna stick with what 493 00:34:00.039 --> 00:34:01.440 we're doing. And I think, like you said, to your point, 494 00:34:01.559 --> 00:34:04.839 I've had, you know, two or three years of success at this point. 495 00:34:04.960 --> 00:34:07.639 But to be honest with you, I think I'm finally at that stage 496 00:34:07.639 --> 00:34:12.199 where I fully believe in myself and I have that confidence rebuilt, you know, 497 00:34:12.280 --> 00:34:14.960 from all those times you throw out my struggles early in my career, 498 00:34:14.960 --> 00:34:19.079 I think I finally feel one convicted and what I'm doing, I feel convicted 499 00:34:19.119 --> 00:34:21.679 in, you know, my adjustments up there on the mount and what I 500 00:34:21.719 --> 00:34:23.840 need to do succeed each night. Since you came off the injured list, 501 00:34:23.880 --> 00:34:27.760 do you feel like you've been able to pick up where you left off? 502 00:34:28.239 --> 00:34:31.039 Mostly? You know, there's been a little like hiccups here and there, 503 00:34:31.039 --> 00:34:34.760 and like you, sometimes it's in catch play. Sometimes it's in the game 504 00:34:34.760 --> 00:34:37.920 where you're fighting a feeling versus you know, what's what you're seeing. And 505 00:34:38.199 --> 00:34:42.760 that was definitely the frustration going on the ils. I was in such a 506 00:34:42.760 --> 00:34:45.119 good spot with you know, all of those things, and I was trying 507 00:34:45.119 --> 00:34:47.159 to maintain those things while I was down for four weeks. So there have 508 00:34:47.199 --> 00:34:51.559 been moments here and there where you know, I feel like I'm going to 509 00:34:51.599 --> 00:34:53.320 execute my slider in a certain spot and it just you know, stays on 510 00:34:53.360 --> 00:34:57.639 the plate or you know, trying to expand and things like that. So 511 00:34:58.159 --> 00:35:01.159 those fields are still coming back to full circle for me. But you know, 512 00:35:01.199 --> 00:35:04.559 the work is there every every single day, and we trust that it's 513 00:35:04.559 --> 00:35:06.840 going to be there when we need to. I know, you're always working 514 00:35:06.840 --> 00:35:10.280 on yourself every day. What is the evolution of Evan Phillips. Is it 515 00:35:10.320 --> 00:35:15.239 a new pitch or constantly being able to perfect the pitches that you already have. 516 00:35:15.760 --> 00:35:19.320 Yeah, at this point, I think it's just continuing to you know, 517 00:35:19.400 --> 00:35:22.719 to strive for perfection. And what I'm doing, I think the mix 518 00:35:22.760 --> 00:35:24.559 that I've been showing now for a couple of years has been working well. 519 00:35:24.599 --> 00:35:30.159 So it's more so about you're putting the game, playing together and understanding how 520 00:35:30.159 --> 00:35:32.400 to attack a hitter, understanding the the situation of the ending, and that 521 00:35:32.440 --> 00:35:36.039 has been the biggest adjustment to the ninth inning, and you know, closing 522 00:35:36.039 --> 00:35:38.840 games, finishing games, Understanding how to finish the game and understanding that, 523 00:35:39.480 --> 00:35:44.360 you know, win a guy's on base and it's a you know what kind 524 00:35:44.360 --> 00:35:45.960 of threat is at the play, all the all these factors that come into 525 00:35:46.000 --> 00:35:50.199 play. Talking with guys that have done it in our bullpen, talking with 526 00:35:50.239 --> 00:35:53.920 staff that have you know, seen it and experienced it. Learning that part 527 00:35:53.960 --> 00:35:57.920 of the game has been the next step this year. Evan Phillips is our 528 00:35:57.960 --> 00:36:01.239 guest. He's not just about himself. He has a great baseball IQ. 529 00:36:01.599 --> 00:36:05.599 So I'll ask you this, Evan, Nobody's been able to answer it. 530 00:36:06.079 --> 00:36:09.480 We saw Johann Ramirez in Cincinnati where Dave Roberts need to go out there to 531 00:36:09.519 --> 00:36:14.800 set him down. Ever since that hug, the famous hug on the mound, 532 00:36:15.119 --> 00:36:17.079 seems like a different pitcher. But there's got to be more than just 533 00:36:17.239 --> 00:36:21.559 that, sure, And I think that's that's where the day in the day 534 00:36:21.679 --> 00:36:24.159 day out work comes from. I think you see that moment on the mout 535 00:36:24.199 --> 00:36:29.159 and you see, you know, the recent success since then, but the 536 00:36:29.199 --> 00:36:30.840 credit goes to Johan's work day in and day out. And I think, 537 00:36:31.320 --> 00:36:35.480 you know, our pitching staff or pitching coaches have done a great job, 538 00:36:35.880 --> 00:36:37.559 you know, really giving him some length and some runway to really see this 539 00:36:37.719 --> 00:36:42.039 through. And he has shown us tremendous growth in a short amount of time. 540 00:36:42.079 --> 00:36:45.719 So I think you're saying that he's earned himself even more opportunity down the 541 00:36:45.760 --> 00:36:47.800 line. So I think we'll continue to see a lot of Johann Ramirez and 542 00:36:47.840 --> 00:36:51.920 hopefully he can continue to run with it. What about Anthony Benda. Here's 543 00:36:51.960 --> 00:36:55.000 another guy that was cut loose, the Dodgers pick him up and now he 544 00:36:55.079 --> 00:36:59.800 seems to have a lot of trust from Dave Roberts. Yeah, AB's in 545 00:36:59.800 --> 00:37:02.119 this category. You know, a guy I feel like he was similar to 546 00:37:02.159 --> 00:37:06.840 myself when I first got to the Dodgers, where he had no other choice 547 00:37:06.880 --> 00:37:09.400 but to listen at this point in his career. I think the Dodgers brought 548 00:37:09.440 --> 00:37:13.599 him in and saw, you know, something that they liked, and then 549 00:37:14.039 --> 00:37:16.519 we got him with our team, our group and introduced a couple of new 550 00:37:16.519 --> 00:37:20.280 things, and he's been able to run with it as well, so I 551 00:37:20.320 --> 00:37:22.119 think he's been a great piece for us so far, and we can hoping 552 00:37:22.159 --> 00:37:25.199 that can continue to build as well. Evan, is it a case where 553 00:37:25.320 --> 00:37:30.639 at a certain point in time in your career you finally give in and maybe 554 00:37:30.679 --> 00:37:36.039 be less stubborn than a guy just coming in? And you know, I 555 00:37:36.039 --> 00:37:38.079 guess when you first get here, you feel like you have it all figured 556 00:37:38.079 --> 00:37:42.960 out. You know, it's certainly it's more of an independent like like case 557 00:37:43.000 --> 00:37:45.719 to case situation. Right, So you look at any any acquisition we bring 558 00:37:45.760 --> 00:37:49.440 in, you know, every season, right, so like this year, 559 00:37:49.480 --> 00:37:52.239 you look at ti Oscar Hernandez, who has had plenty of success, all 560 00:37:52.280 --> 00:37:54.840 Star player in his career. He wanted more, he wanted a championship, 561 00:37:54.840 --> 00:37:58.639 and I think he knows that the Dodgers handle things differently. Here. You 562 00:37:58.679 --> 00:38:00.920 look at a guy and maybe we talk about the pitchers. We talked about 563 00:38:00.960 --> 00:38:04.039 Kevin Biggio as well, like another guy that has had success at the major 564 00:38:04.119 --> 00:38:06.920 league level. We bring him in. He's willing to listen, he's willing 565 00:38:06.960 --> 00:38:08.800 to learn, and we're hoping we can take it somewhere. So I think 566 00:38:09.079 --> 00:38:13.039 that mindset when you come to the Dodgers and you know that the goal is 567 00:38:13.079 --> 00:38:15.800 to build a better version of yourself to help this team win a championship. 568 00:38:16.480 --> 00:38:20.199 That message is really clear here, and I think it helps guys on a 569 00:38:20.239 --> 00:38:22.159 day to day basis get their work in and have a plan to how to 570 00:38:22.159 --> 00:38:28.159 get better. Would you even say a player of Chilio Tani's caliber came here 571 00:38:28.239 --> 00:38:31.920 and now he wants more from himself. Absolutely, Shohay Mookie, Freddie Freeman, 572 00:38:31.960 --> 00:38:35.599 all those guys when they first got to the Dodgers, it was they 573 00:38:35.639 --> 00:38:38.360 signed here for a reason. They signed here to win championships and to build 574 00:38:38.400 --> 00:38:43.320 better versions of themselves and help you know, they're part of it and help 575 00:38:43.360 --> 00:38:45.559 the team win games. So I think you know, there's no one that's 576 00:38:45.800 --> 00:38:50.360 immune to it on this team. I think it's one of the Dodgers standards 577 00:38:50.360 --> 00:38:52.400 that we all, you know, kind of abide by here. I think 578 00:38:52.440 --> 00:38:54.400 it's it's a great recipe, you know, to win baseball games, and 579 00:38:54.559 --> 00:38:59.079 now our next step is putting that together in the postseason winning a championship. 580 00:38:59.239 --> 00:39:02.039 I know you're always thinking the game, seeing what's going on around the league. 581 00:39:02.320 --> 00:39:07.119 As we are just a month away from the trade deadline, do you 582 00:39:07.239 --> 00:39:12.320 start to run scenarios and mock trades. You know, I definitely don't. 583 00:39:12.360 --> 00:39:15.559 I don't put names to it by any means, but you know there's plenty 584 00:39:15.559 --> 00:39:17.280 of that going on behind the scenes. You know, I wouldn't be surprised 585 00:39:17.320 --> 00:39:22.440 if we see some movement. I think it's natural for competitive teams to want 586 00:39:22.519 --> 00:39:24.920 to get better. And I can probably say this for as far as our 587 00:39:24.920 --> 00:39:29.320 front office goes that they're in the business of getting better and winning baseball game. 588 00:39:29.440 --> 00:39:31.760 So if an opportunity to work to present itself, I'm sure we won't 589 00:39:31.800 --> 00:39:35.719 be shy to make that happen. So you're not like Zach Granki back in 590 00:39:35.760 --> 00:39:38.920 the day where he's on the Dougat railing and tells a j Ellis I would 591 00:39:38.920 --> 00:39:44.199 trade you. No, definitely not who I am. But I've heard those 592 00:39:44.239 --> 00:39:46.400 stories and they're all pretty incredible. Evan, thanks a lot for the time. 593 00:39:46.559 --> 00:39:50.960 Great to see you and your family on this road trip, and continued 594 00:39:51.000 --> 00:39:52.360 success and health the rest of the way. Yeah, sir, thank you 595 00:39:52.440 --> 00:39:55.239 very much. There he is the man, the super reliever, nice guy 596 00:39:55.280 --> 00:39:59.800 off the field, animal on the mound. Evan Phillips will send it back 597 00:39:59.800 --> 00:40:01.280 to you studio Tim. All right, thanks a lot of DV Thank you 598 00:40:01.400 --> 00:40:06.360 EP.

Game two and two of the three seventy nine ERA, 611 00:41:02.519 --> 00:41:06.639 fourth round pick of the Phillies in twenty nineteen out of Stanford. Traded 612 00:41:06.679 --> 00:41:08.199 to the Giants before the twenty three season, where he spent all year in 613 00:41:08.239 --> 00:41:13.599 TRIPLEA. Made the opening day roster this year thirty nine appearances. This is 614 00:41:13.639 --> 00:41:16.000 his seventh start as the opener. He's a four seam fastball guy, a 615 00:41:16.079 --> 00:41:20.400 changeup, and a slider. He's got a one to seventeen ERA with five 616 00:41:20.440 --> 00:41:23.920 walks and eight strikeouts and six starts this year in thirty nine games. Well, 617 00:41:23.960 --> 00:41:28.159 that's tied for the fourth most of the Major leagues. Left handed batters 618 00:41:28.199 --> 00:41:30.039 hitting one to thirty off of him, right handed batters hitting two to thirty 619 00:41:30.119 --> 00:41:34.880 nine with six home runs off him. Tyler Glass now on the mountain for 620 00:41:34.880 --> 00:41:37.840 the Dodgers eight and five with a two and eight eight ERA. Thirty year 621 00:41:37.840 --> 00:41:42.559 old right hander in his first season with the Dodgers, making his seventeenth start 622 00:41:42.639 --> 00:41:45.719 last timeout seven shutout innings, two runs, two hits while striking out two 623 00:41:45.760 --> 00:41:50.519 to ten for his eighth win of the season. That was against the Angels. 624 00:41:50.559 --> 00:41:53.239 He struck out double digit batters six times already this season. He leads 625 00:41:53.280 --> 00:41:58.119 the major leagues in strikeouts, whip and his third in batting average against. 626 00:41:58.320 --> 00:42:00.840 Facing the Giants for a fifth time in his career, second time this season, 627 00:42:00.840 --> 00:42:04.559 He's three and zero with a one eighty e R and twenty three strikeouts. 628 00:42:04.559 --> 00:42:07.480 He faced them back on April third, going six innings, loving three 629 00:42:07.559 --> 00:42:12.000 runs on four hit seven strikeouts in a win.

Dodgers and Giants from San Francisco. Game two of 634 00:42:35.960 --> 00:42:38.559 this three game weekend series. First pitch coming up at four to fifteen. 635 00:42:38.599 --> 00:42:45.239 Dodgers fans and hands are listening and experience to Dodger games by downloading the iHeartRadio 636 00:42:45.280 --> 00:42:49.360 app. It's free and then listening HD. It's all powered by La Care 637 00:42:49.400 --> 00:42:53.559 Health Plan serving all Angelinos lacare dot org. Before first pitch, ted Beck 638 00:42:53.559 --> 00:42:57.519 out to the booth Rick Monday, Steven Nelson, guys, Hey, get 639 00:42:57.559 --> 00:43:01.119 tim getting closer and closer to the four to fifteen scheduled start time the Dodgers 640 00:43:01.119 --> 00:43:05.840 and Giants Game two of this series. Logan Webb, the game one starter 641 00:43:05.920 --> 00:43:09.480 for San Francisco, was the only announced starting pitcher in this series for SF. 642 00:43:09.480 --> 00:43:15.519 That's because he's one of the rare healthy starters in their rotation. Jordan 643 00:43:15.599 --> 00:43:17.639 Hicks, a converted reliever, he is there as well. But so many 644 00:43:17.679 --> 00:43:21.599 guys on the injine list, you know, Blake Snell, Alex Cobb, 645 00:43:22.800 --> 00:43:28.880 Kyle Harrison, Keaton Win the list. It keeps going on for them, 646 00:43:29.199 --> 00:43:31.920 and so Logan Webb. Him getting through seven innings last night was was huge 647 00:43:31.920 --> 00:43:37.039 for Bob Melvin because it helps give their bullpen a breather. Knowing that we 648 00:43:37.119 --> 00:43:43.039 got potentially two bullpen games lined up for the Dodgers against the Giants here these 649 00:43:43.079 --> 00:43:45.519 next two games. Yeah, and I think if you look at San Francisco, 650 00:43:45.559 --> 00:43:46.719 they're gonna start Eric Miller, the left hander. First of all, 651 00:43:46.719 --> 00:43:50.480 he throws very hard. The second thing is when you start to look at 652 00:43:50.519 --> 00:43:52.400 us, so, oh my goodness, is eight start of the season, 653 00:43:52.480 --> 00:43:55.119 well all eight, including today, had been as the opener. He has 654 00:43:55.199 --> 00:44:00.239 averaged eleven to twenty pitches in the game. But here's why he's starting the 655 00:44:00.239 --> 00:44:05.559 ballgame today. He equalizes left handers they've hit only won thirty What about lefties 656 00:44:05.559 --> 00:44:08.719 in the Dodger line? Obviously Otani down the leadoff spot, the third batter, 657 00:44:08.880 --> 00:44:13.679 the left hander Freddie Freeman. So trying to really eliminate if you can 658 00:44:14.079 --> 00:44:16.440 instead of nine innings, they're hoping is very good against the two of the 659 00:44:16.480 --> 00:44:21.079 three first batters and being left handed, and reduce it to eight innings and 660 00:44:21.119 --> 00:44:24.440 try and win it that way. The Dodgers' record against left handed starters this 661 00:44:24.519 --> 00:44:27.960 year is very good. You look at it, say twenty two and eight. 662 00:44:28.079 --> 00:44:31.960 Well, four of those eight losses have been against left handed openers. 663 00:44:31.960 --> 00:44:37.519 They're one and four when facing a left handed opener, as they will tonight 664 00:44:37.599 --> 00:44:39.840 against Eric Miller. So it's a strategy that the Dodgers have seen and it's 665 00:44:39.840 --> 00:44:45.079 been effective against them this year. And they've also seen Miller in fact four 666 00:44:45.119 --> 00:44:50.079 different games, all in relief, two times in May twice. Also if 667 00:44:50.119 --> 00:44:52.400 you go back to April. But again he's not going to be in there 668 00:44:52.440 --> 00:44:55.400 for very long. This is his eight start again as an opener, plus 669 00:44:55.440 --> 00:45:00.039 thirty two strictly out of the bullpen, but one thing about it, I 670 00:45:00.159 --> 00:45:02.440 have to look for changeups. He's gonna throw some heat and high heat at 671 00:45:02.440 --> 00:45:06.119 home plate. Well, we're gonna see heat on both sides. The miller 672 00:45:06.119 --> 00:45:07.559 from the left for the Giants, and of course Tyler Glass now from the 673 00:45:07.639 --> 00:45:12.519 right side for the Dodgers. Already at one hundred innings this season, just 674 00:45:12.599 --> 00:45:15.639 the third time he sent the century mark for innings pitch in a single season 675 00:45:15.840 --> 00:45:20.639 in his career. He has been dynamite for the Dodgers his first year. 676 00:45:20.719 --> 00:45:23.960 He is probably going to be an All Star, and hopefully he can pitch 677 00:45:24.000 --> 00:45:29.400 the Dodgers to a win today to even this three game series here by the 678 00:45:29.440 --> 00:45:30.760 Bay. Time back to you, all right, appreciate it, guys. 679 00:45:30.800 --> 00:45:35.480 Dodgers fifty one and thirty two. The Padres, they've already won today. 680 00:45:35.519 --> 00:45:37.880 They just beat the Boston Red Sox. They won five in a row, 681 00:45:37.320 --> 00:45:40.920 nine of their last ten. They're starting to catch up. There's seven games 682 00:45:40.960 --> 00:45:45.400 back now the Dodgers Diamondbacks. They've also won already today.
