a dramatic walk off win last night, the Dodgers are back at it tonight,

6
00:00:27.559 --> 00:00:32.119

00:00:39.640 --> 00:00:43.840
Dave Roberts. We'll dive deeper into
this pitching matchup David Vasagos one on one

10
00:00:43.880 --> 00:00:47.960
with Miguel Vargas. We'll get you
your Dodger magical moment. Shortly, we'll

11
00:00:48.039 --> 00:00:52.280
check in with Kirsten Watson, Lavio
Twani Rewind. In just a few minutes,

12
00:00:52.320 --> 00:00:56.640
we'll hear from Rick Monday and Steven
Nelson at the Gallpin Motors Broadcast booth.

13
00:00:56.640 --> 00:01:00.159
Well, last night it was a
dramatic end for the Dodger. There's

14
00:01:00.200 --> 00:01:03.920
a walk off win in the ninth
inning. Bobby Miller got the start.

15
00:01:03.960 --> 00:01:07.560
By the way, It's Bobby Miller. Bobblehead night out at Dodger Stadium tonight.

16
00:01:07.879 --> 00:01:11.840
Bobby Miller five innings, two runs, four hits, four strikeouts.

17
00:01:11.480 --> 00:01:15.799
He had a two to nothing lead
after ta Oscar Hernandez infield choice in the

18
00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:19.959
third to give the Dodgers a two
to nothing lead, but that lead was

19
00:01:19.959 --> 00:01:23.920
evaporated in the fourth inning. Christian
Walker, the Dodger Killer, a two

20
00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:26.959
run home run to the center in
the fourth that tied the game of two.

21
00:01:26.239 --> 00:01:29.560
The Diambacks took a three to two
lead in the top half of the

22
00:01:29.560 --> 00:01:33.400
seventh inning, only to see the
Dodgers grab it right back and more on

23
00:01:33.519 --> 00:01:37.799
Showy Otani's home run to right center
field the two run shot and the Dodgers

24
00:01:37.879 --> 00:01:41.719
led four to three. However,
in the eighth inning, the Diamonbacks would

25
00:01:41.760 --> 00:01:45.359
tie it up, and the ninth
they'd take the lead on a Jock Peterson

26
00:01:45.400 --> 00:01:48.840
a home run, So the Dodgers
down. Going to the bottom of the

27
00:01:48.920 --> 00:01:53.040
ninth inning, they had two outs
when a little two out magic happened for

28
00:01:53.120 --> 00:01:57.519
Freddy Freeman. Here we go,
Freddy with a base hits for right center.

29
00:01:57.719 --> 00:02:00.799
Mit splits the gap. It'll get
all the way to the wall.

30
00:02:00.239 --> 00:02:07.840
Smith stores. Freddie Freeman clutches up. In the ninth We are tight at

31
00:02:07.840 --> 00:02:14.080
five. Freddie Freeman with the RBI
double to right. That tied the game

32
00:02:14.159 --> 00:02:16.560
and five. That's the top tier
play of the game sponsored by Arco Quality

33
00:02:16.639 --> 00:02:21.599
top tier gas for less. Freddy
Freeman down to his final strike. He

34
00:02:21.719 --> 00:02:27.000
was in an O two count with
two strikes and doubled the right center field.

35
00:02:27.080 --> 00:02:31.960
So now Freddy standing on second,
still two out for Taoscar Hernandez Raymond

36
00:02:32.039 --> 00:02:36.439
on second, see you wall out
of the stretch. Hernandez quells the ball

37
00:02:36.520 --> 00:02:39.479
basement on the field. Freddy's gonna
be waved around. The throw in from

38
00:02:39.520 --> 00:02:46.719
Gurriel hits off the play tail the
hero again. The Dodgers walk off the

39
00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:52.280
b backs. He's being not between
second and third, six five to the

40
00:02:52.400 --> 00:02:58.280
final. The Dodgers score two runs
with two out on the bottom of the

41
00:02:58.360 --> 00:03:04.039
ninth inning. With their last breath, they take the series opener from Arizona

42
00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:09.639
tay Oscar Hernandez a walk off RBI
singles scoring Freddie Friedman. Dodgers went two

43
00:03:09.800 --> 00:03:15.039
out in the nine score two runs
they win at six to five. Evan

44
00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:19.879
Phillips gets your win in relief.
Dodgers take the series opener in a dramatic

45
00:03:19.960 --> 00:03:23.240
win. They are now fifty three
and thirty three on this season. The

46
00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:28.800
Dodgers now look to make it two
straight over the Snakes tonight with Gavin Stone

47
00:03:28.840 --> 00:03:30.840
on the mound, first pitch coming
up at seven to ten. With more,

48
00:03:30.960 --> 00:03:35.319
we head out to the Gallpin Motors
broadcast both as we say hello to

49
00:03:35.520 --> 00:03:38.599
Rick Monday and Steven Nelson. Guys, thank you Tim. With Rick Munday

50
00:03:38.599 --> 00:03:43.039
here and mo. Last night,
it was a gorgeous night to kick off

51
00:03:43.039 --> 00:03:46.120
the six game homestand and it looked
like at the very end it was going

52
00:03:46.159 --> 00:03:51.280
to begin with one of more frustrating
losses of the year. But they snatched

53
00:03:51.319 --> 00:03:55.080
victory from the jaws of defeat three
consecutive two out hits. They were down

54
00:03:55.120 --> 00:03:59.759
to their last strike and the big
four, the top four, I should

55
00:03:59.759 --> 00:04:01.599
say, in the lineup without Mookie
Betts, of course, I mean,

56
00:04:01.639 --> 00:04:05.439
they were terrific last night. Yea, it was one of those games.

57
00:04:05.639 --> 00:04:10.759
And I got a couple of phone
calls today and they were angry. They

58
00:04:10.840 --> 00:04:15.080
were angry at me because they were
listening as they were driving out of the

59
00:04:15.159 --> 00:04:18.600
stadium in the ninth inning, when
I said, if you're in your car

60
00:04:18.639 --> 00:04:24.160
and in the stadium and you're leaving, you may have left too soon.

61
00:04:24.600 --> 00:04:27.639
Well, they left too soon,
and they missed a heck of a curtain

62
00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:30.319
call. It was one of those
games that you look at and say,

63
00:04:30.360 --> 00:04:33.680
Okay, wait a minute. You're
down in the ninth inning and you're down

64
00:04:33.759 --> 00:04:39.560
by a run. You have two
outs. Freddy Freeman is going to be

65
00:04:39.639 --> 00:04:42.800
coming up, and Will Smith is
the hitter. Now he gets the double

66
00:04:42.879 --> 00:04:46.720
to begin with. And I proposed
the idea, if you're a manager,

67
00:04:46.759 --> 00:04:48.600
which way you're going to go?
You have first base that is open,

68
00:04:49.000 --> 00:04:54.000
you have Freddy Freeman is the hitter. Freeman has one of the higher batting

69
00:04:54.040 --> 00:04:58.959
averages in baseball. With two strikes
on him, what happened on an O

70
00:04:59.079 --> 00:05:02.600
two pitch, He gets the the
RBI double that knocked in the tying run.

71
00:05:02.959 --> 00:05:06.879
He's at second base. Now you
pitch the TI Oscar Hernandez or do

72
00:05:06.920 --> 00:05:11.040
you walk in and get to the
rookie and de Paes. Well, they

73
00:05:11.040 --> 00:05:15.079
decided to pitch to him. That
didn't work, as Hernanus gets the RBI

74
00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:17.000
single. The Dodgers, they walk
off victory and it's one of those moments

75
00:05:17.000 --> 00:05:20.560
too, and especially with the big
Crown almost fifty three thousand in the house,

76
00:05:21.040 --> 00:05:24.600
a lot of people were stunned.
But boy, it was almost like

77
00:05:24.680 --> 00:05:28.879
Happy New Year here Dodgers. It
really was. We talked about it yesterday

78
00:05:28.879 --> 00:05:31.279
all day. Hey, this is
a big game in a big series for

79
00:05:31.319 --> 00:05:35.560
the Dodgers against the Diamondbacks. Given
the last month and a half malaise at

80
00:05:35.560 --> 00:05:39.959
the whole division, but the Dodgers, really they've been hovering around five hundred

81
00:05:40.120 --> 00:05:43.079
and for them to find a way
to pull it out in that sort of

82
00:05:43.120 --> 00:05:45.920
fashion, picking up the bullpen,
which has picked them up time and again

83
00:05:45.959 --> 00:05:48.360
throughout this year. You know,
all their high leverage guys came in and

84
00:05:48.519 --> 00:05:53.639
gave up runs. Basically, for
the Dodger offense to wake up with their

85
00:05:53.720 --> 00:05:58.480
last out was a really big sign. Now you talk about your friends and

86
00:05:58.959 --> 00:06:01.800
many fans who who wanted to get
a head start and beat the traffic left

87
00:06:01.800 --> 00:06:06.439
too early. Well that kind of
ties into the pregame festivities tonight. Eric

88
00:06:06.480 --> 00:06:12.240
Gangne twenty year anniversary of his streak. He was one a game over.

89
00:06:12.480 --> 00:06:15.439
He kind of inspired fans to stay
through the end. Well, today,

90
00:06:15.480 --> 00:06:18.079
fans are gonna want to get here
early to see Ganye's first pitch. Yeah.

91
00:06:18.199 --> 00:06:21.519
I thought it was interesting too,
because Dave Roberts saying with the media

92
00:06:21.519 --> 00:06:27.920
a little bit earlier that Eric Ganye
asked the manager who was the former teammate

93
00:06:28.079 --> 00:06:32.560
of Eric Kanye and made a wonderful
catch in Houston's he did down on tals

94
00:06:32.639 --> 00:06:36.759
Hill out in center field to keep
a streak. Alian asked Roberts if he'd

95
00:06:36.800 --> 00:06:42.720
like to catch the first pitch,
and Roberts declient only for the reason,

96
00:06:42.720 --> 00:06:46.959
he goes, I saw the pitches
that the hitters could not hit, and

97
00:06:46.000 --> 00:06:49.720
I do not want to embarrass myself, but trying to catch one of those.

98
00:06:50.279 --> 00:06:55.560
So we will see who does have
the catching duties for the ceremony.

99
00:06:55.920 --> 00:06:59.519
First pitch for Eric Ganya. Can't
believe it's been twenty years since a save

100
00:06:59.639 --> 00:07:01.600
number eight eighty four in a row. The Dodgers going to take the series

101
00:07:01.639 --> 00:07:05.079
against the visiting Dbacks tonight Game two. Gavin Stone will start. We'll talk

102
00:07:05.120 --> 00:07:09.079
more about that the next time we
talk to you. Tim. All right,

an outstanding month in June twelve homers and

117
00:08:18.639 --> 00:08:22.079
twenty fours are of an end fly
ball left field. Running after at Guriel

118
00:08:22.199 --> 00:08:26.000
on the warning track, he drops
the ball as he slid to the dirt.

119
00:08:26.439 --> 00:08:31.200
So show hey O'tani will take second
base. He's in agreement as is

120
00:08:31.200 --> 00:08:35.480
two to one pitch. He steps
and fires home and Otani fights at the

121
00:08:35.480 --> 00:08:41.480
center field over Perdomo and down in
front of Glek Thomas. So Otani has

122
00:08:41.519 --> 00:08:45.240
his second hit of the game.
Martinez has the ball at the bell,

123
00:08:46.360 --> 00:08:50.799
kicks and fires out of the stretch. Otani swings and bubbles the ball.

124
00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:56.200
Did the right, Bill, Oh, no doubt about it? Half way

137
00:09:48.559 --> 00:09:54.159
on this Wednesday night, Kirston Kevin
Stone on the mound for the Dodgers.

138
00:09:54.639 --> 00:09:58.320
He's had a really good first half
of the season. Should be an All

139
00:09:58.320 --> 00:10:01.279
Star. We'll get into that three
minutes. But for Gavin Stone, important

140
00:10:01.279 --> 00:10:03.919
for him to have another good outing. Yeah, and he's coming off of

141
00:10:05.000 --> 00:10:07.360
the best one of his career of
this year, of his rookie season.

142
00:10:07.440 --> 00:10:11.440
He is someone who this year he
has been everything that this starting rotation has

143
00:10:11.519 --> 00:10:16.440
needed and more. Coming off of
a complete game shutout which was amazing in

144
00:10:16.559 --> 00:10:20.759
Chicago. So as much as that
is not the expectation for the game tonight,

145
00:10:20.879 --> 00:10:24.399
Dave said that it's just to go
out there and can continue to be

146
00:10:24.559 --> 00:10:28.159
really competitive with with his pitches,
which we have been seeing thus far.

147
00:10:28.279 --> 00:10:31.240
So he said that there's not They're
not going to keep him on a pitch

148
00:10:31.279 --> 00:10:33.559
count. They feel like he's in
a really good spot. They will be

149
00:10:33.639 --> 00:10:37.759
mindful of the stress of each inning
just against Diamondbacks. But the hope is

150
00:10:37.759 --> 00:10:41.000
for him just to continue being himself
and continuing to show why he truly does

151
00:10:41.080 --> 00:10:43.919
deserve to be an All Star this
year, this big of the All Stars.

152
00:10:43.960 --> 00:10:48.879
Gavin Stone deserves it, Tyler Glass
now deserves it. The Dodgers could

153
00:10:48.879 --> 00:10:52.480
have a good representation, even though
starter wise, it's only Showingo Toni.

154
00:10:52.799 --> 00:10:56.879
Yes, so as you mentioned,
starter wise, only Shoho Tani got the

155
00:10:56.919 --> 00:11:00.600
fan vote, So we're excited to
see him representing the National League, representing

156
00:11:00.600 --> 00:11:03.919
the Dodgers in the All Star Game. He actually told the media last night

157
00:11:03.960 --> 00:11:09.679
that he is not going to partake
in the home run derby just because he

158
00:11:09.720 --> 00:11:13.960
wants to be mindful that his elbow
is still coming back from having that surgery

159
00:11:13.960 --> 00:11:16.240
in the off season, still rehabing
in regard to his throwing progression. So

160
00:11:18.039 --> 00:11:20.159
we know he's going to be in
starter as the DH in the game,

161
00:11:20.159 --> 00:11:24.519
which is very exciting. Dave Roberts
is optimistic that Freddie Freeman's gonna get in.

162
00:11:24.639 --> 00:11:26.679
Of course, with the Mookie Betts, he should get in. He's

163
00:11:26.720 --> 00:11:28.879
not gonna play, as we know, but he should be named as an

164
00:11:28.919 --> 00:11:33.039
All Star. Tasker Hernandez should also
be named as an All Star. And

165
00:11:33.080 --> 00:11:35.120
then when it comes to, like
you mentioned, the arms, the hope

166
00:11:35.200 --> 00:11:39.879
is that Gavin Stone as well as
Tyler Glass now and maybe if we get

167
00:11:39.960 --> 00:11:43.039
lucky, Alex Vessia could be an
All Star as well. We'll see,

168
00:11:43.080 --> 00:11:46.440
but the hope is that there's a
lot of representation for the Dodgers in this

169
00:11:46.559 --> 00:11:50.000
game. Mookie Betts. I know
David beattst had a chance to talk to

170
00:11:50.080 --> 00:11:54.039
him Shavi Instagram. But now we're
seeing him out of Dodgers Stadium, cures

171
00:11:54.039 --> 00:11:58.399
in a positive feelings about him coming
back soon. You know what, It's

172
00:11:58.480 --> 00:12:01.600
kind of crazy when you see him
out there, and to be fair,

173
00:12:01.639 --> 00:12:05.240
because it is a hand injury,
he can continue doing a lot of normal

174
00:12:05.279 --> 00:12:09.039
things. He was out here running, working with the trayer, he's throwing

175
00:12:09.080 --> 00:12:11.559
the ball. There is just so
many things that he's still able to do,

176
00:12:11.639 --> 00:12:15.240
which is a really good sign because
he's keeping his body going and is

177
00:12:15.320 --> 00:12:18.039
keeping him in somewhat of a baseball
activity. He cannot catch the ball or

178
00:12:18.080 --> 00:12:22.679
field per se. But he can
throw in and so he's definitely in a

179
00:12:22.720 --> 00:12:24.480
good spot. He's still healing,
he still has a brace on his hand,

180
00:12:24.759 --> 00:12:28.200
but the hope is that, you
know, he's got some time.

181
00:12:28.240 --> 00:12:31.399
But he said that he's really open
to whatever is asked of him when he

182
00:12:31.440 --> 00:12:35.679
comes back. There's some conversation of
does Miguel Rojas stay at shortstopp does he

183
00:12:35.720 --> 00:12:37.679
move to second base? He said, whatever is asked of me. If

184
00:12:37.720 --> 00:12:41.720
does Shohyo Tani stay as the lead
off hitter, he said, whatever is

185
00:12:41.759 --> 00:12:43.559
asked of me. He'll be more
than happy to step in because he has

186
00:12:43.639 --> 00:12:46.279
one goal, much like the rest
of the team, and it's to wins

187
00:12:46.320 --> 00:12:48.840
whatever it takes to win, and
that is what he's going to do when

188
00:12:48.840 --> 00:12:54.480
he gets back. So still has
some time, but Dave zaid they'll kind

189
00:12:54.480 --> 00:12:58.080
of start having those conversations as to
what it's going to look like when he

190
00:12:58.120 --> 00:13:01.039
returns when it gets a little bit
closer, because he doesn't want to mess

191
00:13:01.080 --> 00:13:03.399
with the psyche of any of the
other players that it could involved with the

192
00:13:03.440 --> 00:13:07.759
move going back to second Absolutely curist
to appreciate it. We'll check out with

is, Max Munsey on the I L.

209
00:14:22.279 --> 00:14:24.600
Clayton Kershaw on the I L.
But he's gonna start throwing again this

210
00:14:24.720 --> 00:14:30.159
week. Joe Kelly at them won
aning five pitches last night for Rancho Cucamonga.

211
00:14:30.360 --> 00:14:33.399
Bruce dark Gratterol is a countback ranch
in Arizona. He is working his

212
00:14:33.480 --> 00:14:35.559
way back slowly as well. All
Right, let's ted back out to Dodger

213
00:14:35.639 --> 00:14:41.679
Stadium and check in with the Dodger
Skipper. Questions for Dave Dave, can

214
00:14:41.720 --> 00:14:46.879
you just describe Dave? Can you
talk about the pressure in the dugouts with

215
00:14:46.080 --> 00:15:00.600
Dave Roberts. You know he's,
uh, he's just an a really good

216
00:15:00.639 --> 00:15:07.399
spot. I think you know it
was fun yesterday. You watch some guys

217
00:15:07.440 --> 00:15:13.320
throw bullpens. He's there watching.
Uh, you know, you see Clayton

218
00:15:13.360 --> 00:15:18.080
do flat ground. Gavin's there watching. You're on the bench and you look

219
00:15:18.159 --> 00:15:20.519
down at the end of the bench
and he's there watching, and so it's

220
00:15:20.559 --> 00:15:26.480
good. Because he's constantly trying to
gain knowledge. But physically he's in a

221
00:15:26.519 --> 00:15:30.399
good spot. Confidence wise, he's
in a really good spot. So I

222
00:15:30.399 --> 00:15:35.600
think for me it's like, you
know, stay the course and just compete

223
00:15:35.759 --> 00:15:41.720
and physically mentally he's in a good
place. Meeting the ulstar starters, you

224
00:15:41.759 --> 00:15:45.600
don't know just yet, just kind
of when you think about this same co

225
00:15:45.799 --> 00:15:50.519
sharing on the sad yeah, there, I think obviously there's a bias.

226
00:15:50.879 --> 00:15:56.279
I think they're all deserving in their
own right. You know, it's hard

227
00:15:56.360 --> 00:16:00.360
to obviously debate show Hey and what
he's done on the field, off the

228
00:16:00.360 --> 00:16:07.399
field, and shoot, before Mookie
was hurt got hurt, you know,

229
00:16:07.440 --> 00:16:10.399
he was up there as far as
leading you know, all of voting,

230
00:16:10.720 --> 00:16:15.600
as far as it's a shortstop and
they need to talk about Tao and his

231
00:16:15.679 --> 00:16:18.440
production that he's had consistently all year
long. And I think this would be

232
00:16:18.440 --> 00:16:23.120
a second nomination, And so I
think he's been representing the Dodgers really well.

233
00:16:25.240 --> 00:16:29.320
And then you got a couple of
pitchers, Tyler and the guy going

234
00:16:29.360 --> 00:16:33.559
tonight, Gavin, I think certainly
have a case. Will Smith, I've

235
00:16:33.639 --> 00:16:37.639
always said that I think he's one
of the top two catchers in baseball,

236
00:16:37.519 --> 00:16:42.879
and then I'm probably missing someone else? Whom I missing? Am I missing

237
00:16:42.919 --> 00:16:48.120
someone else? Oh? Of course
Freddy, Freddie, Freddie should be starting.

238
00:16:48.320 --> 00:16:51.679
I think now with Bryce down,
I think Freddie's ultimately going to start

239
00:16:51.679 --> 00:16:53.720
in that game. Yeah, Freddy
should get to start. We'll find out

240
00:16:53.759 --> 00:16:57.320
though, showyo Tony the only one
that will start for the Dodgers taskar and

241
00:16:57.320 --> 00:17:00.480
Andez misses out as a starter,
and so does Mookie Bets, wh wouldn't

242
00:17:00.480 --> 00:17:03.799
have been able to play anyways because
of the hand injury. Dave Roberts down

00:17:18.079 --> 00:17:22.319
Dodgers on Deck, we'll check in
with the David Vat says we're leading you

248
00:17:22.319 --> 00:17:26.480
out to first pitch on this Wednesday
night Dodgers and Diamondbacks. I'm Tim Kates's

249
00:17:26.480 --> 00:17:36.960
Los Angeles Dodgers on You. Note
this is Marongo Casino Dodgers on Deck on

250
00:17:37.079 --> 00:17:45.200
your home for the Blue all season
law. It's the Dodgers and the Diamondbacks.

251
00:17:45.880 --> 00:17:49.519
Gavin Stone, Christian Mania the pitching
matchup. First pitch coming up from

252
00:17:49.519 --> 00:17:56.720
Dodger Stadium at seventen joining Tim Kates
on Dodgers on deck. I accept everybody

253
00:17:56.759 --> 00:18:02.799
for who they are. This is
Dodger David BASSI all right, DV.

254
00:18:03.000 --> 00:18:04.920
Last night, what a game,
down to their final out, down to

255
00:18:04.960 --> 00:18:08.519
their final strike with Freddy Freeman,
he doubles and then to Oscar they walk

256
00:18:08.599 --> 00:18:15.240
off single. The Dodgers just did
not die last night on him and look,

257
00:18:15.480 --> 00:18:18.680
things were not looking good. Paul
Sewalt's pitches were so nasty against Gavin

258
00:18:18.759 --> 00:18:22.359
Lux and show hey o'tani. I
talked to Lux about it. He just

259
00:18:22.400 --> 00:18:26.319
said the pitch that he struck out
looking on, there wasn't much he could

260
00:18:26.359 --> 00:18:30.599
do. It froze them. It
was one of the best pitches he's seen

261
00:18:30.680 --> 00:18:34.480
all season long. Otani struck out
swinging on a pitch up and in,

262
00:18:34.920 --> 00:18:40.440
and then Will Smith jumped all over
a pitch early in the count and the

263
00:18:40.480 --> 00:18:45.039
Dodgers were on their way back to
a two out rally, and Freddie Freeman

264
00:18:45.119 --> 00:18:48.440
not only tied the games but He
also scored the walk off run. And

265
00:18:48.480 --> 00:18:52.160
we caught up with Freddy after the
game. Yeah, you know, I

266
00:18:52.240 --> 00:18:53.839
just we know he's got a good
heater that a lot of rides, just

267
00:18:53.839 --> 00:18:56.599
trying to be on top of it, straight to it. So likes heater

268
00:18:56.640 --> 00:18:59.960
in certain counts, and she tried
to be off talk of the ear.

269
00:19:00.400 --> 00:19:03.119
I heard you in my head saying
I'm looking for strikes. Yeah, I

270
00:19:03.359 --> 00:19:06.400
was way of the first one.
I would just strike two, but I

271
00:19:06.440 --> 00:19:08.559
took that one. But uh no, overall, what a great heavy too.

272
00:19:08.839 --> 00:19:11.759
We'll get it going, get it
through it off for ending it.

273
00:19:12.440 --> 00:19:17.079
Big win for the Dodgers tim as
much as it can be in the middle

274
00:19:17.119 --> 00:19:21.039
of July with a ten game lead. But the Dodgers did not play well

275
00:19:21.079 --> 00:19:25.119
in San Francisco. They got blown
out on Sunday afternoon at Oracle Park.

276
00:19:25.480 --> 00:19:27.880
They come back home. It would
have been very disappointing to lose that game

277
00:19:27.960 --> 00:19:33.319
last night and the fashion the Dodgers
would have lost it, and also they

278
00:19:33.359 --> 00:19:37.559
would have had a losing record coming
into tonight against Arizona, so that would

279
00:19:37.559 --> 00:19:42.599
have been problematic as well, especially
when you consider it were these Diamondbacks that

280
00:19:42.759 --> 00:19:48.160
swept the Dodgers in last year's NLDS, But all those bad feelings and the

281
00:19:48.200 --> 00:19:52.599
bad taste swept aside with that two
out rally last night. Pendy your Southern

282
00:19:52.640 --> 00:19:56.559
California four dealers for great offers on
a Ford Bronco Sport or any Ford model

283
00:19:56.720 --> 00:20:02.039
for in Ford's fourth of July Selifons
Forry Damn and Taskar. Hernandez doesn't get

284
00:20:02.119 --> 00:20:06.480
named one of the three starting outfielders
in the National League, any disappointments on

285
00:20:06.559 --> 00:20:11.880
him not getting voted as a starter, well, obviously he's a little disappointed.

286
00:20:11.920 --> 00:20:15.559
Talking to him in Chicago last week
when he returned from being with his

287
00:20:15.599 --> 00:20:19.519
family after his grandfather passed away,
he said he was not going to self

288
00:20:19.559 --> 00:20:23.200
promote, which he did not do. His teammates did it to a certain

289
00:20:23.240 --> 00:20:27.599
extent. But there's a very good
chance with the injury to Fernando Tatis Junior,

290
00:20:27.880 --> 00:20:33.559
who was elected one of the three
starting outfielders for the National League,

291
00:20:33.920 --> 00:20:38.960
that could open up a replacement spot
for Taoscar Hernandez and also Bryce Harper being

292
00:20:40.000 --> 00:20:44.400
on the injured list may open up
the door for Freddie Freeman to not only

293
00:20:44.440 --> 00:20:48.240
be part of the team, but
also be the starting first baseman for the

294
00:20:48.319 --> 00:20:51.880
National League. Dave Real quick,
what's the update on Max Munsey. I

295
00:20:51.920 --> 00:20:55.759
talked to Munsei today. Tim.
He is still swinging, but he is

296
00:20:55.799 --> 00:20:59.240
not going to give a timeline.
All he would say is that things are

297
00:20:59.279 --> 00:21:02.400
trending in the right direction. That

It was April twenty fifth, twenty
twenty two, Dodgers taken on the diamonbacks.

314

00:22:34.400 --> 00:22:40.680
game shutout for Walker Buehler. The
Dodgers won it Ford to nothing. What

318

joined by David bas saying, here's
LA Dodgers' broadcastre and World Series Champion Dodger

335
00:24:03.119 --> 00:24:07.519
Rick Monday. Rick, I'm still
riding a high from last night's dramatics.

336
00:24:07.519 --> 00:24:11.680
In the ninth inning, the Dodgers
came to life when it mattered the most.

337
00:24:11.079 --> 00:24:15.240
I made a comment last night as
they got to the ninth inning,

338
00:24:17.119 --> 00:24:18.880
if you left too early and you're
listening to us in the parking lot,

339
00:24:19.200 --> 00:24:25.799
you left way too early and you
never know what's going to happen. I

340
00:24:25.920 --> 00:24:30.039
brought up the scenario in the ninth
inning, when you get the double by

341
00:24:30.039 --> 00:24:36.119
Will Smith, there's two outs.
The Dodgers are trailing five to four,

342
00:24:36.640 --> 00:24:38.880
so you got Will Smith the tying
run at second base. Freddie Freeman,

343
00:24:40.079 --> 00:24:42.559
is the batter in first base?
Is open? I asked, is that?

344
00:24:42.759 --> 00:24:47.680
Well, here's one question if you're
the manager of the Arizona Diamondbacks.

345
00:24:47.680 --> 00:24:51.000
Not to second guess him. He
went and he said, after the ballgame,

346
00:24:51.640 --> 00:24:53.079
you had one of the better hitters
against one of the better relievers.

347
00:24:53.359 --> 00:24:57.680
So they believed in their players.
They just happened to work out. But

348
00:24:57.839 --> 00:25:03.480
the present I made was, what
if you walk Freddy Freeman. Now you

349
00:25:03.599 --> 00:25:07.559
have a force out at any three
of the bases. On the possibility of

350
00:25:07.559 --> 00:25:11.400
a ground ball out, you're dealing
with the guy Freddy Freeman that if you

351
00:25:11.440 --> 00:25:15.079
look at what he has done with
two strikes over the last number of years,

352
00:25:15.519 --> 00:25:19.480
he has a very high percentage of
base hits. In fact, the

353
00:25:19.599 --> 00:25:22.759
numbers it he's in the top three
in baseball. If you look at the

354
00:25:22.839 --> 00:25:26.880
last couple of years with two strikes, Well, what was the count when

355
00:25:26.920 --> 00:25:30.799
he got the tying base hit two
strikes? In fact it was and two.

356
00:25:32.680 --> 00:25:34.640
He fouled off the second pitch that
made it oh and two, and

357
00:25:34.680 --> 00:25:37.319
then got a pitch and hit it
in the center field. Then you look

358
00:25:37.319 --> 00:25:41.480
at Tascar Hernanas that comes on.
He didn't waste any time. First bases

359
00:25:41.559 --> 00:25:45.480
open again, You've got the rookie
Andy Paz waiting on deck. Do you

360
00:25:45.559 --> 00:25:51.319
pitch around Tascar Hernandez They elected not
to, and a base hit came over

361
00:25:51.599 --> 00:25:55.880
and for the Dodgers in front of
fifty two thousand plus on end, it

362
00:25:56.000 --> 00:26:00.279
was a lovely evening here in southern
California. And I'm happy for Ta Sker

363
00:26:00.279 --> 00:26:04.519
Hernandez Rick because he has been struggling
at different points in time, but certainly

364
00:26:06.319 --> 00:26:08.920
last night three RBIs and the last
one was the biggest one. Yeah,

365
00:26:10.000 --> 00:26:12.920
and the r Bay tripling, the
first ending and then an infield out that

366
00:26:14.119 --> 00:26:18.160
discored a run from third base.
He's made a lot of adjustments. It's

367
00:26:18.200 --> 00:26:22.720
still vulnerability with a slider away,
But then again, who's not. Yeah,

368
00:26:22.960 --> 00:26:26.960
there's a long list of guys.
Yeah, I mentioned that from time

369
00:26:26.000 --> 00:26:29.880
to time. That's like a lot
of pitches up and end. Well,

370
00:26:29.880 --> 00:26:32.440
the guy has trouble with the ball
up and end. We'll name those guys

371
00:26:32.519 --> 00:26:34.480
that don't. Right. I mean, if you position the pitch right,

372
00:26:36.240 --> 00:26:38.880
that is a very difficult pitch to
hit because of the location. So it

373
00:26:40.000 --> 00:26:44.480
was the slider away, right handed
pitcher to right handed batter Rick last night

374
00:26:44.519 --> 00:26:47.519
as well. We've talked about this
over the course of the last couple of

375
00:26:47.599 --> 00:26:51.799
years since Freddie Freeman put on a
Dodger uniform. How good of a base

376
00:26:51.880 --> 00:26:55.240
runner he is. He went through
the whole scenario after the game with us

377
00:26:55.359 --> 00:26:59.839
last night, knowing that the second
baseman might try to backdoor him, so

378
00:27:00.079 --> 00:27:03.720
he couldn't get as big of a
secondary lead initially. Yeah, and then

379
00:27:03.799 --> 00:27:07.119
you match up as you have to
trust your third base coach, and there's

380
00:27:07.160 --> 00:27:11.519
nobody better to trust than Dino Evil
coaching a third and Dino knows I heard

381
00:27:11.559 --> 00:27:15.359
part of your postgame show last night, you were spot on about the fact

382
00:27:15.400 --> 00:27:18.680
that if you look at Dino,
he does his homework, understands who has

383
00:27:18.720 --> 00:27:23.519
strong arms, who has accurate arms, because there's two different types of arms,

384
00:27:23.720 --> 00:27:26.519
the strong arm in the accurate.
We've seen a lot of strong arms

385
00:27:26.559 --> 00:27:30.559
that maybe can't hit the broad side
of a barn, but they have a

386
00:27:30.599 --> 00:27:33.279
strong arm. If they can find
the right barn, they might throw the

387
00:27:33.319 --> 00:27:37.079
ball through this side of the barn. But he knows, and he also

388
00:27:37.200 --> 00:27:41.960
knows the runners, those that immediately
get off to a good start, because

389
00:27:42.000 --> 00:27:45.519
some runners, David quite frankly,
take three or four strides in order to

390
00:27:45.559 --> 00:27:48.799
get up to speed. Freddie Freeman, even though he six' five,

391
00:27:48.920 --> 00:27:52.960
does not take him in extremely long
period of time to run the bases,

392
00:27:53.039 --> 00:27:56.480
and he knows how to cut the
corners. I'm not talking about not getting

393
00:27:56.519 --> 00:28:00.359
to the third base bag, but
how to approach the bag and get a

394
00:28:00.759 --> 00:28:03.960
very good cut as you plant your
foot on the bag, so you don't

395
00:28:04.000 --> 00:28:07.880
have to go way way out of
the baseline and cover more ground as you're

396
00:28:07.880 --> 00:28:11.039
going to home plate. And I
guess that's another layer to the Scotty report

397
00:28:11.119 --> 00:28:15.480
for Dino Ebol not only the outfielders, but also your base runner. Yeah,

398
00:28:15.640 --> 00:28:18.960
you have to know that as well. There's some guys that they have

399
00:28:19.039 --> 00:28:23.319
a built in ropid dope. You
don't want them to continue on. And

400
00:28:23.440 --> 00:28:29.079
another guy says, hey, look, I remember Joey Malfatano told me once,

401
00:28:29.559 --> 00:28:32.759
and do you know a very good
student of Joey malfatana on how to

402
00:28:32.839 --> 00:28:36.759
coach third base and all the different
parameters that go into the thought process immediately

403
00:28:37.240 --> 00:28:40.720
right then, But you've already analyzed
it in your head before the game starts.

404
00:28:41.079 --> 00:28:45.160
Now the situation dictates what's the score, what ending is it, who's

405
00:28:45.240 --> 00:28:47.920
on deck, who's the runner that
you're dealing with, How hard the ball

406
00:28:48.079 --> 00:28:49.519
was it? Is it hit to
the left or the right of the fielder?

407
00:28:49.759 --> 00:28:52.440
Does he charge the ball well?
Does he field ground balls well?

408
00:28:53.079 --> 00:28:56.079
Does he get the ball out of
the glove quickly? Some guys take four

409
00:28:56.119 --> 00:29:00.759
steps to throw the baseball. Well, those are all things that you're computing,

410
00:29:00.200 --> 00:29:03.200
and you have about, oh maybe
a second and a half to think

411
00:29:03.240 --> 00:29:07.160
about it to implement it. Fair
to say that a third base coach controls

412
00:29:07.240 --> 00:29:11.799
the game second to only the manager. Yeah, if you get runners.

413
00:29:11.039 --> 00:29:15.960
Otherwise it's like the loner repair man. Well, hopefully he's got more business

414
00:29:15.000 --> 00:29:18.960
tonight. See. Thanks Rick,
That's how it works out. So yeah,

415
00:29:18.160 --> 00:29:22.319
I listen, along with everybody else
that listens to you in the postgame.

416
00:29:22.519 --> 00:29:25.519
I appreciate it. I'm glad you
listen. Some people only hear,

417
00:29:25.759 --> 00:29:29.160
but you listen, and some people
selective hearing. Yes, no doubt about

418
00:29:29.200 --> 00:29:32.000
it. Thanks Rick. Well check
in with you and Steven Nelson a little

419
00:29:32.000 --> 00:29:34.839
bit later. I had a first
pitch, Eric Ganne throwing out the ceremonial

420
00:29:34.920 --> 00:29:37.359

moments, we'll send it back to you

442
00:31:12.359 --> 00:31:17.079
the football around. Are you more
of a wide receiver or a quarterback?

443
00:31:17.119 --> 00:31:19.039
Do you think I think, well, like wide receiver. I don't have

444
00:31:19.160 --> 00:31:23.039
that feed though, But yeah,
I'm working out there with the football,

445
00:31:23.240 --> 00:31:27.200
you know, trying to put it
into baseball terms a little bit, you

446
00:31:27.279 --> 00:31:30.319
know. Now then I'm in the
outfield, so I think it really helped

447
00:31:30.359 --> 00:31:33.680
me. So I'm I'm keep doing
it. What does that help you with?

448
00:31:34.440 --> 00:31:37.279
Yeah, I mean, you know, like a lot of time with

449
00:31:37.359 --> 00:31:41.519
the balls, like trying to see
the uh how do you say trajection of

450
00:31:41.599 --> 00:31:45.319
them? And then you said it
great? Yeah, yeah, trying to

451
00:31:45.400 --> 00:31:48.079
you know, like you speak better
English than Gavin Luks. Yeah that's true.

452
00:31:48.240 --> 00:31:51.559
That's true too. Yeah, but
you know, like trying to be

453
00:31:51.680 --> 00:31:55.079
there and you know, like makes
the plays and you know, trying to

454
00:31:55.160 --> 00:31:57.119
be soft in the outfield. Thing
that helped me a lot. How big

455
00:31:57.319 --> 00:32:00.799
we always hear on the infield,
we talk about the hands, soft hands.

456
00:32:01.079 --> 00:32:05.440
How big are hands in the outfield? You know, I mean it's

457
00:32:05.440 --> 00:32:08.319
pretty the same. I think that
obviously the speed on the outfields little bit

458
00:32:08.440 --> 00:32:13.119
lower, but you know, like
you need to be ready for you know,

459
00:32:13.400 --> 00:32:16.279
like every time the ball is getting
there is a hardline driver or you

460
00:32:16.359 --> 00:32:21.079
know some like that. So I
and they keep you know, give your

461
00:32:21.480 --> 00:32:24.359
legs moving and your hands be ready. Do you feel like you're more comfortable

462
00:32:24.440 --> 00:32:28.400
now in left field than you were
even two weeks ago? Yeah, one

463
00:32:28.440 --> 00:32:30.599
hundred of things. I feel.
I feel every every time. Every day,

464
00:32:30.720 --> 00:32:35.039
I feel, you know, some
progress, and then I'm happy about

465
00:32:35.079 --> 00:32:37.519
it. And then, you know, trying to be the best I can

466
00:32:37.599 --> 00:32:40.640
be out there, and you know, trying to help we get an opportunity.

467
00:32:42.079 --> 00:32:45.160
The great Miguel Vargus, a big
fan favorite, is joining us in

468
00:32:45.200 --> 00:32:49.599
front of first pitch between the Dodgers
and Diamondbacks. The one thing that I

469
00:32:49.720 --> 00:32:52.359
shared with fans while we were in
San Francisco, I think it was perfect

470
00:32:52.440 --> 00:32:57.400
for every player. You put your
feelings inside the locker, and when you

471
00:32:57.480 --> 00:33:00.000
put on that uniform, it's about
the name on the front. How that

472
00:33:00.119 --> 00:33:05.160
seems like a very mature Miguel Vargas, You know obviously, you know,

473
00:33:05.480 --> 00:33:07.160
I mean we all grew up minds
here. You know, we had a

474
00:33:07.279 --> 00:33:13.000
job to do every time to you
know, we put the uniform. Anything

475
00:33:13.039 --> 00:33:15.920
else modeled than within a baseball game. Yeah, it feels like you've handled

476
00:33:15.960 --> 00:33:21.359
everything well, whether it's not playing
every day or being called upon off the

477
00:33:21.440 --> 00:33:25.039
bench, is your mind. The
reason why your bat is as good as

478
00:33:25.119 --> 00:33:29.119
it is. Yeah, obviously,
you know, uh, feel good,

479
00:33:29.240 --> 00:33:32.519
feel great if you're heafly. You
know. Obviously my mindset, he's being

480
00:33:32.559 --> 00:33:37.640
ready for any situation of the game. So you know, any opportunity that

481
00:33:37.720 --> 00:33:38.880
I can get, I need to
be ready one hundred percent. Do you

482
00:33:39.000 --> 00:33:44.960
feel like your mind and your body
is more mature than last year? Obviously

483
00:33:45.079 --> 00:33:49.200
you know it's about a year,
so I hope, I hope he's grew

484
00:33:49.279 --> 00:33:52.759
up. There will be more so
yeah, definitely, definitely I am more

485
00:33:52.960 --> 00:33:57.240
you know, ma, sure,
you know, being more around big league

486
00:33:57.279 --> 00:34:00.359
guys, spend more time with them, and you know that's very helps.

487
00:34:00.599 --> 00:34:02.839
Hey, I joke with you,
but I do feel our time in Korea

488
00:34:02.960 --> 00:34:07.599
really changed you. Yeah, one
a good time. Hey, change me

489
00:34:07.720 --> 00:34:09.519
for the better. I want to
move in with Miguel Vargas. Yeah,

490
00:34:09.639 --> 00:34:14.119
you got a really good, nice
place to do you so I trust you.

491
00:34:14.440 --> 00:34:15.960
Hey, love it. Miguel,
thanks a lot for the time.

492
00:34:16.079 --> 00:34:19.880
Continued success, stay healthy and we'll
see you soon. Yeah, thank you.

493
00:34:20.280 --> 00:34:22.159

500
00:34:45.800 --> 00:34:51.000
Hopefully the Dodgers can make it two
straights over the Arizona Diamondbacks after a

501
00:34:51.119 --> 00:34:54.199
walk off win last night thanks to
ta Oscar Hernandez's RBI single. Before that,

502
00:34:54.519 --> 00:34:59.119
Freddie Freeman and RBI doubled to tie
the game in the bottom half of

503
00:34:59.159 --> 00:35:01.039

the night. First place in the NLS

your Toyota dealer today, we make it

512
00:35:45.280 --> 00:35:50.000
easy. Christian Mayna on the PA
on the mound for the Diamondbacks, twenty

513
00:35:50.039 --> 00:35:53.519
one year old rookie righthander of the
Dominican Republic. He is filling the spot

514
00:35:53.599 --> 00:35:59.480
in the rotation for Arizona because Jordan
Montgomery went on the injured list earlier this

515
00:35:59.559 --> 00:36:04.000
week with knee inflammation. He was
three and two with a four to ninety

516
00:36:04.119 --> 00:36:07.199
ERA over sixteen starts in Triple A
Reno this year. He was acquired from

517
00:36:07.239 --> 00:36:12.480
the White Sox in the trade this
past offseason. He's made seventy nine starts

518
00:36:12.519 --> 00:36:16.280
over four minor league seasons. Tonight
his first ever in the big leagues.

519
00:36:16.400 --> 00:36:21.280
Gavin Stone a young right hander for
the Dodgers. Twenty five year old nine

520
00:36:21.280 --> 00:36:24.199
to two with a two to seventy
three RORA. He has been fantastic and

521
00:36:24.280 --> 00:36:28.119
we saw this coming Minor league pitcher
of the Year in twenty twenty two.

522
00:36:28.159 --> 00:36:31.760
Fifth round pick in twenty twenty at
a Central Arkansas, highly totted right hander

523
00:36:31.840 --> 00:36:36.159
for the Dodgers last time out a
complete game, four hitter in Chicago against

524
00:36:36.199 --> 00:36:38.920
the White Sox in which he struck
out seven. He has gone six or

525
00:36:39.039 --> 00:36:44.239
more innings in nine of his fifteen
starts, so he has given the Dodgers

526
00:36:44.599 --> 00:36:47.320
everything they need as far as length
in games. He has faced the Diamondbacks

527
00:36:47.440 --> 00:36:52.239
just one time in his career.
He's zero to one with a six RRA.

528
00:36:52.440 --> 00:36:55.119
That previous start against him came May
twenty first this year, just a

529
00:36:55.119 --> 00:36:59.679
couple of months ago. Six innings, he gave up four runs on eight

530
00:36:59.800 --> 00:37:04.440
hit and struck out five. That
was in a losing effort to the Diamondbacks.

531
00:37:04.559 --> 00:37:08.760
Gavin Stone rookie Christian Maya on the
mound, Dodgers Diamondbacks. We're fifteen

Gavin Stone on the mound for the

All right, before first pitch, we

543
00:38:00.000 --> 00:38:04.440
head back out to the booth Rick
Monday, Stephen Nelson, Guys, thanks

544
00:38:04.519 --> 00:38:08.320
TC MO. Let's get us set
for Gavin Stone his sixteenth start of the

545
00:38:08.400 --> 00:38:10.920
year. I'm gonna be honest,
I don't know if he's gonna be able

546
00:38:10.960 --> 00:38:15.719
to top start number fifteen on the
South side of Chicago. That complete game,

547
00:38:15.760 --> 00:38:17.920
shutout one hundred and three pitches.
I don't care who it was against.

548
00:38:19.000 --> 00:38:22.000
We know who was against, but
the fact that he did it as

549
00:38:22.440 --> 00:38:27.599
a rookie, as a guy who
barely won a spot in the rotation is

550
00:38:27.679 --> 00:38:30.800
now on the cusp of being an
All Star in twenty twenty four. Yeah,

551
00:38:30.920 --> 00:38:32.519
how about that? And that was
the first complete game shutout by a

552
00:38:32.599 --> 00:38:37.159
Dodger pitcher since Walker Buehler did in
April of twenty twenty two. Happened to

553
00:38:37.199 --> 00:38:42.679
be against the Arizona Diamondbacks. But
that complete game shutout, no runs,

554
00:38:42.760 --> 00:38:45.800
four hits, did not walk a
bat or had seven strikeouts. So for

555
00:38:45.960 --> 00:38:50.760
Gaven Stone a chance to pick up
victory number ten of the season. Who

556
00:38:50.800 --> 00:38:54.360
would have been projecting that end of
it because of the necessity of going to

557
00:38:54.519 --> 00:38:59.039
the the minor leagues and bringing some
people up because of injuries, here's Gavin

558
00:38:59.119 --> 00:39:02.320
Stone. Roberts also had a great
comment, and I say this many many

559
00:39:02.400 --> 00:39:06.840
times. When you look at some
pitchers, they're also very good observers.

560
00:39:06.880 --> 00:39:08.079
And by that I'm talking about,
hey, the guy's not catching up with

561
00:39:08.119 --> 00:39:12.559
the fast bowl, or hey he's
on the breaking ball, not only throwing

562
00:39:12.639 --> 00:39:15.920
the pitch, but observing what the
reaction of the hitter is. And for

563
00:39:15.079 --> 00:39:22.599
Dave Roberts said, Stone uses his
eyes very well besides using his arm and

564
00:39:22.880 --> 00:39:25.519
he seems wise beyond his twenty five
years as Gavin Stone. I mean doing

565
00:39:25.599 --> 00:39:30.840
games with oral that Gavin starts in
between breaks. Bulldog will say he's like

566
00:39:30.119 --> 00:39:34.320
Connor, reminds me of me sometimes
out there. Wouldn't you like to know

567
00:39:34.480 --> 00:39:37.920
sometimes if there was a hurricane meter
where he could get inside the head or

568
00:39:37.000 --> 00:39:43.480
the body of a pitcher or a
player, and wonder is he really well?

569
00:39:44.000 --> 00:39:46.400
Is he adrenaline overloaded? Because of
that moment he looks calm, cool

570
00:39:46.440 --> 00:39:50.239
and collective on the outside. I
totally agree. It could be cat five

571
00:39:50.320 --> 00:39:52.559
wins. You would not know it
by looking at Gavin Stone. He's unflappable.

572
00:39:52.559 --> 00:39:55.119
And if you think he's young at
twenty five, the guy he's starting

573
00:39:55.199 --> 00:40:00.239
against tonight is even younger. The
twenty one year old Christian Mena, one

574
00:40:00.239 --> 00:40:02.079
of the top pitching prospects of the
Diamondbacks, was acquired from the White Sox

575
00:40:02.119 --> 00:40:06.599
in the offseason. He is making
his major league debut again at the age

576
00:40:07.000 --> 00:40:09.480
of twenty one. That's gonna do
it for us, tim for our pregame,

577
00:40:09.599 --> 00:40:13.920
so segments will stop yapping at you
and get it back to you,

578
00:40:14.119 --> 00:40:15.119
and we will see you for first
pitch, all right? Thank you,

579
00:40:15.280 --> 00:40:19.960
Nelly. Dodgers start the night first
place, a top the NL West,

580
