00:00:00.200 --> 00:00:08.039
And now your host for Morongo Casino
Dodgers on Tech. Tam Case, Hi

2
00:00:08.080 --> 00:00:13.640
everybody, and welcome in to Morongo
Casino Dodgers on Tech. I hope you're

3
00:00:13.720 --> 00:00:17.359
enjoying your Sunday morning, A cup
of coffee and don at a Bengel and

4
00:00:17.440 --> 00:00:21.920
some Dodgers baseball. Going into the
All Star Break. Dodgers fifty six and

5
00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:25.839
forty on this season, first place
at top the NL West. Today,

6
00:00:25.839 --> 00:00:29.640
the final game before the All Star
Breaking. It can't get here fast enough.

7
00:00:29.719 --> 00:00:32.880
Injuries have hit this Dodgers team the
first half of the season. They've

8
00:00:32.920 --> 00:00:36.119
battled through them though, and still
lead the division. But it's been a

9
00:00:36.159 --> 00:00:40.960
tough stretch the last week. After
getting swept in Philadelphia, the Dodgers blew

10
00:00:41.000 --> 00:00:45.719
a five run lead yesterday in Detroit. Today they looked at going the All

11
00:00:45.759 --> 00:00:51.200
Star Break on a winning note.
Brent Honeywell claimed off waivers from the Pittsburgh

12
00:00:51.240 --> 00:00:56.119
Pirates Dodgers gutting him last night,
and he gets to start today in Detroit.

13
00:00:56.200 --> 00:00:59.479
First pitch coming up at ten,
forty coming up over the next hour

14
00:00:59.560 --> 00:01:03.799
Here on Arongo Casino Dodgers on Deck, we'll hear from the Dodger manager Dave

15
00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:07.400
Roberts get his thoughts on this Dodgers
team in the final game of the first

16
00:01:07.400 --> 00:01:10.719
half of the season. Will preview
this pitching matchup. David Vasse goes one

17
00:01:10.760 --> 00:01:14.799
on one with Brandon McDaniel, Dodgers
strength and conditioning coach. Shortly, we'll

18
00:01:14.840 --> 00:01:17.760
check in with Kirston Watson. In
just a few minutes, we'll head out

19
00:01:17.799 --> 00:01:21.680
to the Gallpin Motors broadcast both it
here from Rick Monday and Tim never Well.

20
00:01:21.760 --> 00:01:25.439
Yesterday, quite frankly, was one
of the worst endings to a Dodger

21
00:01:25.480 --> 00:01:30.040
game this season, the Dodgers in
Detroit taking on the Tigers. Justin Robleski.

22
00:01:30.319 --> 00:01:34.400
He was good five innings, four
runs, three of which were earned,

23
00:01:34.680 --> 00:01:37.400
four hits. He gave up a
couple of home runs but struck out

24
00:01:37.439 --> 00:01:40.680
four along the way. The Dodgers
gave the early one to nothing lead on

25
00:01:40.719 --> 00:01:44.840
the Freddie Freeman Fielder's Choice scoring Show
Hey O Tani and the Dodgers led one

26
00:01:44.840 --> 00:01:47.799
to nothing, but Robleski gave that
right back up with the two run double

27
00:01:48.079 --> 00:01:51.959
in the second inning. Dodgers tied
it up on a basis loaded walk in

28
00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:55.560
the third, and then in the
fifth a historic home run for show Hey

29
00:01:56.120 --> 00:02:00.879
National league leader in home runs with
twenty eight ninety nine career home runs.

30
00:02:01.200 --> 00:02:05.959
The swing drills it to right field, tape to the corner. It is

31
00:02:06.159 --> 00:02:13.520
gone. That's number two hundred for
show Hey O'tani and the Dodgers take the

32
00:02:13.639 --> 00:02:21.159
lead three to two. A line
drive justin signed the right field foul poll

33
00:02:21.240 --> 00:02:30.280
for Otani home run number twenty nine
and a milestone homer for Otani, number

34
00:02:30.319 --> 00:02:35.120
two hundred of his career, the
fifty six extra base hit of the first

35
00:02:35.159 --> 00:02:38.639
half, most ever by a Dodger
player. As the Dodgers had a three

36
00:02:38.680 --> 00:02:42.000
to two lead, they'd make it
a five to lead thanks to a Gavin

37
00:02:42.120 --> 00:02:46.840
Lux two run single. Later on
that inning, the Tiger Zoe would chip

38
00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:49.800
away. It was a five to
four Dodgers lead in the sixth when Otani

39
00:02:49.960 --> 00:02:53.800
grouded into a fielder's choice, again
a six to four lead. Keiky Hernandez

40
00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:58.840
then extended that lead for the Dodgers
in the seventh ten forty Pacific time.

41
00:02:58.879 --> 00:03:04.400
Will be the first pitch to kyk
belts one deep to left field. That

42
00:03:04.439 --> 00:03:09.919
one is gone off the pole.
K k Hernandez Clank's won off the foul

43
00:03:10.039 --> 00:03:15.439
pole for his fifth home run of
the season. It's a two run shot

44
00:03:15.879 --> 00:03:21.560
and the Dodgers now lead at eight
to four. Dodgers up by four,

45
00:03:21.639 --> 00:03:23.840
they'd make it a five run lead
in the eighth on the Freddie Freeman sack

46
00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:29.159
fly. They were up nine to
four going into the ninth inning. Ricky

47
00:03:29.199 --> 00:03:32.000
Venasko on in relief. He couldn't
get it out, gave up three runs.

48
00:03:32.039 --> 00:03:37.120
Officially, Evan Phillips gave up a
two run home run to tie the

49
00:03:37.199 --> 00:03:42.360
game at nine. Somehow, the
Dodgers blew a five run ninth inning lead,

50
00:03:42.520 --> 00:03:46.280
so extra innings we went. The
Dodgers could not push across the free

51
00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:49.560
base runner, so they were still
tied going to the bottom of the tenth

52
00:03:49.560 --> 00:03:53.840
with Geo Urshela a two run home
run to the left that walked it off

53
00:03:53.840 --> 00:03:58.000
for the Tigers, who come back
with seven unanswered runs, including the two

54
00:03:58.080 --> 00:04:00.560
run walk off home run in the
bottom of the tenth. They've stunned the

55
00:04:00.599 --> 00:04:08.439
Dodgers eleven to nine as the Dodgers
blow a five run lead. Well,

56
00:04:08.560 --> 00:04:11.759
the Dodgers back at it today,
look to go out on a winning note.

57
00:04:11.840 --> 00:04:15.120
The first half of this season.
Brent Honeywell on the mound first pitch

58
00:04:15.199 --> 00:04:18.079
and co America Park coming up at
ten forty and with more, let's head

59
00:04:18.120 --> 00:04:21.360
out to the Gallpin Motors broadcast booth
as we say hello and good morning to

60
00:04:21.439 --> 00:04:26.399
Rick Monday and Tim Never guys,
Tim, thank you very much getting sent

61
00:04:26.519 --> 00:04:29.800
for the third and final game of
this three game set. It's the rubber

62
00:04:29.839 --> 00:04:34.079
games who wins the series between the
Dodgers and the Tigers. The Tigers yesterday

63
00:04:34.240 --> 00:04:39.839
pulled off an incredible comeback on the
Dodgers. The Dodgers bullpen really let them

64
00:04:39.879 --> 00:04:43.000
down. On the ninth inning,
a five run lead was blown. It's

65
00:04:43.040 --> 00:04:46.680
the first time in many many years
that has happened to the Dodgers, and

66
00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:50.399
a walk off home run by Geo
or Schella was the final nail in the

67
00:04:50.480 --> 00:04:56.480
coffin in an eleven to nine Tigers
win yesterday. It was frustrating, and

68
00:04:56.600 --> 00:05:00.800
if you're reading the tea leaves at
all, just as the of the players

69
00:05:00.800 --> 00:05:02.639
and the coaches were getting on some
of the buses last night to go back

70
00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:06.720
to the hotel, they were not
only stunned, I kind of sensed a

71
00:05:06.720 --> 00:05:12.480
little anger because they let it get
through their fingers. And we mentioned really

72
00:05:12.519 --> 00:05:15.360
in the outset of the ball game
yesterday with the Dodgers scored first as they

73
00:05:15.399 --> 00:05:19.000
did yesterday, with a leadoff triple
by Otani in the first inning and walked

74
00:05:19.040 --> 00:05:24.920
to Taskar Hernanez and then the infield
out by Freeman that scored Otani. So

75
00:05:25.040 --> 00:05:28.879
again they led in the first inning, three batters into the game, and

76
00:05:28.920 --> 00:05:33.079
their record when they score first coming
into yesterday forty one wins and six losses.

77
00:05:33.120 --> 00:05:40.959
So it was a shocking turn of
events in the ninth inning where Detroit

78
00:05:41.040 --> 00:05:44.360
Tigers, they went to home plate
temp like they knew what was coming and

79
00:05:44.399 --> 00:05:48.800
the pitches that were done. It
was a tough afternoon for Evan Phillips a

80
00:05:48.879 --> 00:05:54.839
blown save and then for Johann Ramirez
third of an inning, but he gave

81
00:05:54.959 --> 00:05:58.040
up the big two run home run
to walk off job. So the Dodgers

82
00:05:58.040 --> 00:06:01.160
have to figure out a way a
to get more runners on base and then

83
00:06:01.240 --> 00:06:04.759
be more efficient with runners in scoring
position. That's not been the case the

84
00:06:04.839 --> 00:06:09.360
last seven eight games Olympic to the
finish line before the All Star break.

85
00:06:09.360 --> 00:06:14.040
Today, the Dodgers fifty six and
forty seven games up on both Arizona and

86
00:06:14.120 --> 00:06:16.160
San Diego. They lost a game
by losing that game yesterday, lost a

87
00:06:16.160 --> 00:06:21.279
full game in the standings, and
for the Central Division Tigers, they're still

88
00:06:21.279 --> 00:06:27.040
in fourth place. They didn't gain
any ground their thirteen back of Cleveland pitching

89
00:06:27.079 --> 00:06:30.600
matchup today, well, it's gonna
be a bullpen day, so buckle up

90
00:06:30.600 --> 00:06:34.040
for that. For the Dodgers,
a brand new name claimed yesterday off of

91
00:06:34.120 --> 00:06:40.360
waivers from the Pittsburgh Pirates, Brent
Honeywell Junior, twenty nine year old right

92
00:06:40.399 --> 00:06:43.639
hander. He will get the start
in the big leagues this year, no

93
00:06:43.800 --> 00:06:47.439
decisions in a two to seventy era. Don't know a lot about him other

94
00:06:47.519 --> 00:06:53.240
than his uncle Mike Marshall won the
Cy Young in nineteen seventy four and he

95
00:06:53.279 --> 00:06:57.199
throws an occasional screwball. Other than
that, we'll find out together as Brent

96
00:06:57.279 --> 00:07:01.120
Hulling Honeywell Junior will face Bawl Bristie
Brisky we've seen in the series already.

97
00:07:01.319 --> 00:07:03.680
For the Tigers, he is one
to zer on a three to five two

98
00:07:03.759 --> 00:07:08.560
in a challenging day for both teams
in a bullpen game, no question about

99
00:07:08.560 --> 00:07:11.279
it. I mentioned the fact they're
trying to get more runners on base and

100
00:07:11.319 --> 00:07:14.160
then being more efficient. On this
road trip with the Dodgers are one and

101
00:07:14.199 --> 00:07:16.759
four. They've had seventy three advanced
with runners in scoring position. That sounds

102
00:07:16.759 --> 00:07:21.000
pretty good, but the opposing teams, both the Phillies and the Tigers combined

103
00:07:21.279 --> 00:07:27.319
have had ninety five advants with runners
in scoring position. That needs to change,

104
00:07:27.319 --> 00:07:29.839
and with the Dodgers, when they
get runners on, need to be

105
00:07:29.879 --> 00:07:34.240
more efficient. So the Dodgers,
at fifty six and forty one in four

106
00:07:34.360 --> 00:07:39.439
of the current road trip, look
for just their second win on this swing,

107
00:07:39.680 --> 00:07:45.120
and the Tigers forty six and fifty
still in fourth place in the Central

108
00:07:45.120 --> 00:07:49.079
Division, go at it an interleague
play. Brent Honeywell Junior will start for

109
00:07:49.160 --> 00:07:54.720
the Dodgers today, don't know how
long he'll go. Boe Brisky will start

110
00:07:54.839 --> 00:07:59.079
for the Tigers, and he's probably
an inning maybe to at best. That's

111
00:07:59.120 --> 00:08:03.720
your pitching matchup as we get you
set for this rubber game between the Tigers

112
00:08:03.759 --> 00:08:05.920
and the Dodgers. Tim all right, nothing like a bullpen game going into

113
00:08:07.000 --> 00:08:09.480
the All Star break. As we
count you down to first pitch, Dodger

114
00:08:09.560 --> 00:08:11.839
fans, get your game day meal
on. It's Shaky's Pizza Parlor. What

00:08:20.600 --> 00:08:24.279
We'll check in with David Veasse.
Of course we'll dive deeper into today's pitching

118
00:08:24.360 --> 00:08:28.000
matchup and what is a bullpen game
for both teams. But up next to

119
00:08:26.959 --> 00:08:31.360
your Otani rewind An, we'll visit
with Karsten Watson from Sports net LA.

120

Detroit. First pitch set for ten

on this Sunday. Brant Honeywell claimed off

125
00:08:58.240 --> 00:09:03.799
waivers from the Pirates. He'll get
this for the Dodgers Bobrisky reliever. We'll

126
00:09:03.799 --> 00:09:07.440
get the job as the opener for
Detroit. First pitch coming up in ten

127
00:09:07.519 --> 00:09:15.919
forty. This is the rewide OH. One pitch is hit down the right

128
00:09:15.960 --> 00:09:18.279
field line, that's gonna roll to
the corner rounding first and on his way

129
00:09:18.320 --> 00:09:22.279
to second base. He is show
Hey Otani, He's not stopping. He

130
00:09:22.399 --> 00:09:26.679
is on his way to third and
he is in with a leadoff triple.

131
00:09:28.200 --> 00:09:33.600
It is his fifty fifth extra base
hit that ties a Dodger franchise record set

132
00:09:33.600 --> 00:09:41.120
by Duke Snyder, having fifty five
extra base hits before the All Star Break

133
00:09:41.240 --> 00:09:46.120
and one hundred and ninety nine career
home runs. He swings drills at the

134
00:09:46.200 --> 00:09:50.879
right field taped to the corner.
It is gone. That's number two hundred

135
00:09:50.639 --> 00:09:56.440
for show Hey Otani, and the
Dodgers take the lead three to two.

136
00:09:58.000 --> 00:10:01.440
Show Hey Otani. Yesterday eat off
triple scored in the first and then a

137
00:10:01.480 --> 00:10:07.519
home run. He went two for
four on base four times with two more

138
00:10:07.639 --> 00:10:11.600
walks at fifty six extra base hits. Now on the season with the triple

139
00:10:11.679 --> 00:10:16.000
and the home run. Home run
number twenty nine. Stolen base also there

140
00:10:16.039 --> 00:10:20.960
for Otani, number twenty three,
and that is our Otani rewind on this

141
00:10:22.080 --> 00:10:26.200

loves and drinks available to local Diso stores,

That's it o e N dot com.

144
00:10:35.159 --> 00:10:41.240
This is Kirston's corner with Kirston Watson
and Kirston Out joins just from co

145
00:10:41.320 --> 00:10:45.480
America p our final game of this
three game series, final game before the

146
00:10:45.559 --> 00:10:48.159
All Star break, and the Dodgers
Kirsten in need of some pitching the way

147
00:10:48.200 --> 00:10:52.279
the bullpen has been taxed the last
week. They've brought in some help,

148
00:10:52.360 --> 00:10:58.399
at least for today. Brent Honeywell
gets to start for the Dodgers. Yes,

149
00:10:58.480 --> 00:11:03.120
and he is someone who he can't
take up too much length. The

150
00:11:03.159 --> 00:11:05.759
hope is Dave was saying, an
ideal situation is maybe three innings, but

151
00:11:07.159 --> 00:11:09.799
the hope is he can just go
out there give the team some support.

152
00:11:09.879 --> 00:11:13.399
Ryan Yarborough is also available, so
he has he pitched a couple of days

153
00:11:13.440 --> 00:11:16.320
ago, so he's only really going
to be able to give like one or

154
00:11:16.360 --> 00:11:20.879
two innings. He can't take down
his usual multiples just because he hasn't had

155
00:11:20.879 --> 00:11:24.879
the rest in between. But today, like you said, it's really about

156
00:11:24.919 --> 00:11:28.600
just piecing it together, getting I
kind of feel like we might be crawling

157
00:11:28.600 --> 00:11:31.960
to the first half finish line,
but just finding ways, you know,

158
00:11:31.039 --> 00:11:35.080
not only for the offense to continue
to get going, which we did see

159
00:11:35.200 --> 00:11:37.799
yesterday and really the last two days, so that's been really good. But

160
00:11:37.879 --> 00:11:43.440
hopefully just the bullpen can give the
offense the support to help put them in

161
00:11:43.480 --> 00:11:46.000
a position to win. But when
it comes to Brent honeywell, Dave was

162
00:11:46.039 --> 00:11:50.200
saying, he's a pretty neutral guy, so it's not like this is major

163
00:11:50.240 --> 00:11:54.080
league debut or anything. He spent
some time in the big leagues and so

164
00:11:54.200 --> 00:11:58.279
the hope is just for him to
find ways to be efficient against his Tigers

165
00:11:58.360 --> 00:12:01.279
offense and allow the rest of the
arms in the bullpen to come behind him

166
00:12:01.320 --> 00:12:05.399
and continue to protect to help the
team win. Kirsten's brought to buy cars

169
00:12:11.679 --> 00:12:16.519
That's cars with a K. It's
tough right now. Certainly as the

170
00:12:16.559 --> 00:12:18.679
Dodgers going to the All Star Break, they've lost some games they should have

171
00:12:18.720 --> 00:12:22.639
won. They'll have the break and
then when we come back here at the

172
00:12:22.720 --> 00:12:26.159
end of July, hopeful that the
Dodgers can turn things around. In looks

173
00:12:26.159 --> 00:12:30.200
like the Calvary could be coming to
help out. Yeah, you know what

174
00:12:30.240 --> 00:12:33.159
that is the biggest thing. This
All Star break honestly is coming at the

175
00:12:33.159 --> 00:12:37.320
perfect time. Maybe became like a
week earlier could have been even better,

176
00:12:37.440 --> 00:12:41.080
but the fact that there are so
many guys who are getting healthy right now,

177
00:12:41.080 --> 00:12:43.919
and that's been the biggest issue.
They're dealing with so many injuries at

178
00:12:43.919 --> 00:12:46.960
the moment. But looking ahead,
we've got Jason Hayward, so he is

179
00:12:48.000 --> 00:12:50.960
someone who Dave said, as soon
as he's eligible to come off the il,

180
00:12:50.080 --> 00:12:52.320
he should be returning. He's not
going to need to do a rehab

181
00:12:52.360 --> 00:12:56.519
assignment. Clayton Kershaw is someone who
just threw yesterday, had to start with

182
00:12:56.600 --> 00:13:01.240
OKC, was really really solid.
He's only gonna need likely one more outing

183
00:13:01.320 --> 00:13:05.799
then hopefully he can get through four, maybe do five or do a fifth

184
00:13:05.840 --> 00:13:09.799
inning in the bullpen, and then
he should hopefully be activated. After that.

185
00:13:09.120 --> 00:13:13.480
You have someone like Joe Kelly.
Dave Roberts said that he's going to

186
00:13:13.519 --> 00:13:16.279
be returning after the All Star Break. Bruce dar graderol who I think early

187
00:13:16.320 --> 00:13:20.559
in the year we had a lot
of question marks about. He is someone

188
00:13:20.600 --> 00:13:24.360
who he's gone back on track.
He's been throwing bullpens. He's doing really

189
00:13:24.360 --> 00:13:28.679
well facing hitters and Dave is saying
that he's hoping to start his rehab assignment

190
00:13:28.159 --> 00:13:31.320
once the All Star break ends,
and then he could be returning at the

191
00:13:31.440 --> 00:13:35.759
end of July. So you're seeing
all of this progression, and so we're

192
00:13:35.799 --> 00:13:39.039
gonna be getting a lot of guys
back, which is a really good sign.

193
00:13:39.279 --> 00:13:41.879
Even Yoshinobiammoto, as much as he's
gonna need a bit more time.

194
00:13:41.919 --> 00:13:46.240
He's moved to the sixty actually to
make for the roster move in the on

195
00:13:46.279 --> 00:13:50.679
the forty man as well as the
activation for Brent Tunneywell that's still just his

196
00:13:50.799 --> 00:13:54.519
timeline is a little bit longer,
so that makes sense. But he's playing

197
00:13:54.600 --> 00:13:58.600
catch and kind of starting to get
stretched out, so that's a good thing.

198
00:13:58.919 --> 00:14:01.240
Then you have someone like Cookie Betts, who Dave told us today that

199
00:14:01.399 --> 00:14:07.639
he actually was He started playing defense
and was able to catch with his left

200
00:14:07.639 --> 00:14:09.879
hand. That was something he could
continue using his arm to throw, but

201
00:14:09.919 --> 00:14:13.480
he wasn't able to catch just due
to the fracture and the fact that he

202
00:14:13.600 --> 00:14:16.879
was able to do that, it's
you know, it's just a sign of

203
00:14:16.919 --> 00:14:20.919
progression. It's a big step for
him. He said that Mookie was really

204
00:14:20.919 --> 00:14:24.159
excited about it, so there's a
lot of positives. You know, we

205
00:14:24.200 --> 00:14:26.799
don't necessarily feeling here in Detroit right
now, but there's a lot of positives

206
00:14:26.840 --> 00:14:30.879
just that guys are getting healthy.
The second half is going to be electric,

207
00:14:30.919 --> 00:14:33.000
and I think we're going to see
this team turn it on because they

208
00:14:33.039 --> 00:14:37.240
have big goals when it comes to
October. But you got to start playing

209
00:14:37.279 --> 00:14:39.559
like that as we get into August
and September, hopefully they can go out

210
00:14:39.559 --> 00:14:41.759
in a winning note. Hereson,
We appreciate it. We'll check in with

211

Dodgers on the il. Clayton Kershaw
through last night for Oklahoma City. Good

222
00:15:31.519 --> 00:15:35.120
report from that. He'll make a
four to five inning start for Oklahoma City

223
00:15:35.159 --> 00:15:39.639
on Friday. If that goes well, he could be ready to return after

224
00:15:39.679 --> 00:15:43.039
the All Star break. Jason Hayward
is on track to be activated after the

225
00:15:43.080 --> 00:15:45.960
All Star break. He will not
need to rehab. Assimon and Mookie Betts

226
00:15:45.960 --> 00:15:48.600
has started fielding ground balls, as
Kirson alluded to, another positive step in

227
00:15:48.639 --> 00:15:54.240
his recovery from a broken hand.
So that is some positive injury news for

228
00:15:54.320 --> 00:15:56.639
the Dodgers's head back out to Detroit
and check in on this Sunday with the

229
00:15:56.679 --> 00:16:03.600
Dodgers kipper anything dafties questions for Dave, Dave, can you just describe Dave?

230
00:16:03.679 --> 00:16:08.799
Can you talk about the pressure in
the dugout with Dave Roberts So Dave

231
00:16:08.879 --> 00:16:11.879
with Honeywell, just what is the
plan for him and what can you tell

232
00:16:11.960 --> 00:16:17.600
us about him, so I know, I know he was I think he

233
00:16:17.679 --> 00:16:23.399
was an original race Drafty was with
the Pirates and he's a neutral pitcher.

234
00:16:25.279 --> 00:16:27.200
There's a good change up in there. I had a chance to talk to

235
00:16:27.240 --> 00:16:32.960
him briefly this morning, and it's
one of those he got in last night

236
00:16:33.000 --> 00:16:40.240
at about midnight, and I figured
the best way to kind of assimilate him

237
00:16:40.320 --> 00:16:42.039
is to start him. And so
he's gonna go out there and give us

238
00:16:42.080 --> 00:16:47.000
what he can, and I don't
know what that's going to be. Hopefully,

239
00:16:47.399 --> 00:16:49.600
you know, he's got right around
forty five fifty pitch or something like

240
00:16:49.639 --> 00:16:52.639
that, So we'll see how it
goes. All right, there's Dave Robberts.

241
00:16:52.720 --> 00:16:56.519
Yeah, Brandon Honeywell, we'll get
the start for the Dodgers claimed off

242

waivers from the Pittsburgh Pirates. Down
the dugout brought to you by Service Titan.

243

247
00:17:14.599 --> 00:17:18.119
David Bassay to lead you up to
first pitch Dodgers and Tigers. I'm Tim

248
00:17:18.200 --> 00:17:27.200
Kays's Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.
This is Morongo Casino Dodgers on tap on

249
00:17:27.319 --> 00:17:33.799
your home for the Blue All Season
Law. It's the Dodgers and Tigers on

250
00:17:33.839 --> 00:17:37.880
this Sunday morning. Brent Honeywell gets
a start for the Dodgers as the opener,

251
00:17:37.920 --> 00:17:44.880
first pitch coming up at ten forty, joining Tim kats on Dodgers on

252
00:17:45.079 --> 00:17:48.920
deck. I accept everybody for who
they are. This is Dodger insider David

253
00:17:49.039 --> 00:17:53.400
Basse. All Right, DV.
Yesterday the ninth inning completely got away from

254
00:17:53.400 --> 00:17:57.960
the Dodgers and also got away from
Evan Phillips. What happened yesterday late in

255
00:17:57.960 --> 00:18:02.119
this game, in particular Evan Phillips, What's going on? Any concern there,

256
00:18:02.759 --> 00:18:04.759
Tim, There's a lot of concern
because on the last home stand,

257
00:18:04.799 --> 00:18:10.079
Evan Phillips told me he's been trying
to work through some things, mechanical things,

258
00:18:10.160 --> 00:18:15.079
pitch grips, and yesterday was evident
that he has not worked them out.

259
00:18:15.240 --> 00:18:19.200
And after the game yesterday he shared
some more insight on the adjustments he

260
00:18:19.279 --> 00:18:23.519
needs to make, especially to left
handed hitters. We've seen it here and

261
00:18:23.559 --> 00:18:26.440
there with some some good lieft handed
hitters, especially against me. You know,

262
00:18:26.799 --> 00:18:30.519
I think we've done, you know, an all right job so far,

263
00:18:30.559 --> 00:18:33.920
have him mixing back in. You
know, you sinkers have lefties any

264
00:18:33.200 --> 00:18:37.160
four teams, more sliders, whatever
it is to keep them off balance.

265
00:18:37.000 --> 00:18:41.279
And we still believe that. You
know, my cutter versus lefties are one

266
00:18:41.279 --> 00:18:44.640
of my best options. So it'll
still continue to be a piece for me.

267
00:18:44.799 --> 00:18:47.559
But we just got to do a
better job of keeping these guys off

268
00:18:47.559 --> 00:18:52.279
balance. Evan Phillips is one of
the higher baseball IQs on that team,

269
00:18:52.720 --> 00:18:56.400
tim and obviously if anybody's going to
figure it out, it is Evan Phillips.

270
00:18:56.440 --> 00:19:00.440
But I thought it was interesting the
day before he pitched in the sixth

271
00:19:00.519 --> 00:19:04.880
inning and then yesterday asked to get
the final three outs. I know the

272
00:19:06.000 --> 00:19:11.480
Dodgers have definitely preached and created a
culture of pitch whenever you're asked to pitch,

273
00:19:11.519 --> 00:19:15.200
whether it's the sixth inning or the
ninth inning, But as you know,

274
00:19:15.680 --> 00:19:19.960
the final three outs are different than
any other inning. Maybe a lack

275
00:19:21.000 --> 00:19:26.839
of continuity for Evan Phillips recently has
contributed to some of these hiccups. David

276
00:19:26.839 --> 00:19:29.720
has driven by Ford. There's one
thing we like. Its choice is fight

277
00:19:29.799 --> 00:19:33.799
yours with the fort f one to
fifty gas hybrid or all electric tough This

278
00:19:33.920 --> 00:19:37.680
smart, This can only be called
f one fifty. All right. We're

279
00:19:37.680 --> 00:19:41.039
all excited about the All Star Game
and the festivities, David, but the

280
00:19:41.119 --> 00:19:44.880
trade deadlines it's gonna be a few
weeks after this All Star break. What

281
00:19:44.960 --> 00:19:48.119
do you hearing anything bruined for the
Dodgers. Well, they're still looking for

282
00:19:48.160 --> 00:19:52.839
an everyday outfielder, and Randio rose
Lorena and Luis Roberts seem to be the

283
00:19:52.880 --> 00:19:57.839
two names that are connected to the
Dodgers the most. Also, Garrett Crochet

284
00:19:57.920 --> 00:20:02.759
is still out there, and the
Dodgers definitely are one of the teams that

285
00:20:02.799 --> 00:20:06.680
are in on the White Sox left
hander. But I'm not sure you heard

286
00:20:06.720 --> 00:20:08.759
me on Dodger Talk. A couple
of days ago, tim I came up

287
00:20:08.759 --> 00:20:15.119
with a scenario that could possibly entice
the Tigers to at least consider and strongly

288
00:20:15.200 --> 00:20:19.720
consider a trade of Trek Scubel to
the Dodgers. It couldn't just be the

289
00:20:19.799 --> 00:20:26.000
Dodgers unloading their farm system. If
you remember in twenty twelve when the Dodgers

290
00:20:26.039 --> 00:20:30.079
made that blockbuster trade with the Red
Sox. They took on a lot of

291
00:20:30.119 --> 00:20:34.920
dead money from Boston to bring Adrian
Gonzalez to the Dodgers. Why not offer

292
00:20:36.039 --> 00:20:41.680
to take Javier bias Is three years, eighty million dollars remaining on his contract

293
00:20:41.079 --> 00:20:47.559
and take that burden off Detroit in
exchange for Trek's scouble and maybe a lesser

294
00:20:47.680 --> 00:20:52.640
prospect package. Not saying that's been
discussed, but if people are thinking about

295
00:20:52.680 --> 00:20:56.440
Schooble and how to get him away
from Detroit, that would be one way

296
00:20:56.880 --> 00:21:00.400
that trade makes so much sense.
Dave, I'm actually in face for that

297
00:21:00.920 --> 00:21:03.079
immediately, Yeah, immediately, all
right, Dave, We appreciate it.

298
00:21:03.160 --> 00:21:06.480
We'll check back you with you just

305
00:21:37.640 --> 00:21:42.480
Dodgers and Tigers from Detroit. Brent
Honeywell played off Waivers from the Pirate

306
00:21:42.519 --> 00:21:45.319
took it the start for the Dodgers. We see how long he can go.

307
00:21:45.599 --> 00:21:49.599
Bobrisky the reliever, will be the

Moment Ditch Magical Dodge Phone presented by
Hawey Hot Jobs. July nineteenth, twenty

310
00:22:07.799 --> 00:22:11.599
twenty two, So almost two years
ago, the All Star Game between the

311
00:22:11.720 --> 00:22:17.440
National League and the American League was
at Dodger Stadium. Yes the first time

312
00:22:17.480 --> 00:22:21.759
in forty two years and the fourth
time overall that the Dodgers hosted the All

313
00:22:21.759 --> 00:22:25.720
Star Game. The previous times were
nineteen forty nine at Evitsfield in Brooklyn,

314
00:22:26.079 --> 00:22:30.119
nineteen fifty nine at the LA Memorial
Coliseum in nineteen eighty at Dodger Stadium.

315
00:22:30.279 --> 00:22:34.119
July nineteenth, twenty twenty two,
it returned to the Ravine and who would

316
00:22:34.160 --> 00:22:38.559
start for the National League you're right. Clayton Kershaw thirty four years old,

317
00:22:38.599 --> 00:22:41.440
in his fifteenth year in the major
leagues, and he's done everything. He's

318
00:22:41.440 --> 00:22:45.519
got three sy On Awards, he's
got an MVP, he's won a ring.

319
00:22:45.519 --> 00:22:49.079
His ninth All Star Game will be
his first star. Tania bar with

320
00:22:49.079 --> 00:22:57.559
the leadoff hit Kershot at judge for
a top suck Kershaw. He raises Otani,

321
00:22:59.279 --> 00:23:00.960
Well, like I said, he
hadn't got a hit. I don't

322
00:23:02.000 --> 00:23:06.599
know if he's walked off of Kershaw, so maybe the the first time he's

323
00:23:06.640 --> 00:23:08.720
ever seen that move, and it
was a good one. Show hayes over

324

there scene you're not supposed to throw
over an All Star Game, and how

325

342
00:24:36.720 --> 00:24:42.759
Here's LA Dodgers broadcaster and World Series
Champion Dodger Rick Monday. Well, this

343
00:24:42.839 --> 00:24:48.359
is a tough day for Rick Monday. Final Game, Final pregame show before

344
00:24:48.400 --> 00:24:52.079
the all Star breaks. So Rick
and I are going to have some time

345
00:24:52.160 --> 00:24:55.319
apart, and I'm really concerned about
you, Rick, how you're going to

346
00:24:55.359 --> 00:24:59.000
handle that. Well, I'll figure
out a way to do it because I

347
00:24:59.079 --> 00:25:03.519
will be home in Florida later tonight
and I guess major League Baseball. But

348
00:25:03.640 --> 00:25:07.640
there's a lot of people. The
airports are going to be busy with players

349
00:25:07.640 --> 00:25:11.880
and coaches kind of scattering around.
It's not going to be a full plane

350
00:25:11.799 --> 00:25:15.880
going back to Los Angeles. Some
guys obviously are going to Texas for the

351
00:25:15.880 --> 00:25:19.640
All Star Games and those events that
are taking place. Others are taking your

352
00:25:19.640 --> 00:25:22.559
respite for a number of days and
going home wherever that may be, in

353
00:25:22.599 --> 00:25:26.640
whichever state that it may be that
they're headed to. So it's one of

354
00:25:26.680 --> 00:25:29.599
those things. Hey, by the
way, I got to ask him,

355
00:25:30.000 --> 00:25:33.000
did you get any phone calls yesterday
on the postgame show? Oh? We

356
00:25:33.079 --> 00:25:37.880
had a few. Rike. I
say that because you and I talk a

357
00:25:37.880 --> 00:25:41.759
lot about the fact is that when
the Dodgers lose a game, especially if

358
00:25:41.799 --> 00:25:48.079
it's painful, and the one that
we look at yesterday was painful. Indeed,

359
00:25:48.519 --> 00:25:51.880
that's oddly enough, that's where you
get the most action as far as

360
00:25:52.079 --> 00:25:56.640
phone calls coming in, and everyone
has an opinion. Some people have something

361
00:25:56.759 --> 00:26:00.160
constructive to say, some are venting, which is a good thing. It's

362
00:26:00.200 --> 00:26:02.960
a good platform for you to be
able to share some moments with people that

363
00:26:03.720 --> 00:26:07.640
watch this Dodger ball club. And
it was frustrating and the results in the

364
00:26:07.759 --> 00:26:11.240
ending in yesterday's ballgame at ten innings. The good news is Rick, there's

365
00:26:11.279 --> 00:26:15.160
another game today before the All Star
break, and the Dodgers can salvage this

366
00:26:15.279 --> 00:26:19.160
series by getting a win. How
vital is it for them to get this

367
00:26:19.240 --> 00:26:23.200
win today and go into the break
feeling good. Well, I think it's

368
00:26:23.240 --> 00:26:26.759
a good point to bring up.
They're all vital games to play. But

369
00:26:26.920 --> 00:26:32.119
I think even more so, it
gets magnified when you're not playing particularly good

370
00:26:32.119 --> 00:26:34.960
baseball. And that's where the Dodgers
find themselves right now. I mean,

371
00:26:36.119 --> 00:26:40.160
on this road trip, something that
Tim Nevert and I will be talking about

372
00:26:40.200 --> 00:26:41.839
a little bit later on on this
road trip, David, they're one and

373
00:26:41.960 --> 00:26:47.680
four. They've been outscored thirty three
runs to eighteen. That's not a good

374
00:26:47.759 --> 00:26:52.680
sign. And if we look at
the starting pitching, you look at recently,

375
00:26:52.160 --> 00:26:56.079
the starting pitching has worked the last
fifty eight and two thirds innings,

376
00:26:56.119 --> 00:27:00.400
they've given up fifty eight earned runs, and that's going to turn around.

377
00:27:00.400 --> 00:27:03.000
I don't know if it's going to
turn around today or not, because you

378
00:27:03.039 --> 00:27:07.079
know, you're calling up Honeywell,
who, by the way, met Dave

379
00:27:07.200 --> 00:27:12.160
Roberts on the bus coming to the
ballpark today. Ain't that something, Rick?

380
00:27:12.400 --> 00:27:17.119
I mean, that's where things are
right now for the Dodgers pitching staff.

381
00:27:17.160 --> 00:27:21.640
Brent Honeywell, who was picked up
in the wee hours of the morning,

382
00:27:22.519 --> 00:27:26.000
is now going to be the starter
or opener for the Dodgers. We'll

383
00:27:26.000 --> 00:27:29.400
see how long it goes. David. Word of point two is that Honeywell

384
00:27:29.480 --> 00:27:37.160
also can claim the number thirty because
he is now the thirtieth different pitcher the

385
00:27:37.240 --> 00:27:41.160
Dodgers have used already this year.
So we've had pitchers that have come in

386
00:27:41.200 --> 00:27:45.839
and joined this ball club that name
tags have been mandatory, and it just

387
00:27:45.880 --> 00:27:49.680
feels like the Dodgers have not been
able to put it together recently. Rick.

388
00:27:49.839 --> 00:27:55.039
They don't get good starting pitching,
and they don't score runs. They

389
00:27:55.160 --> 00:28:00.119
score runs and they don't get the
pitching to support it. Hopefully today they

390
00:28:00.119 --> 00:28:02.920
can bring that all together. Yeah, and it needs to turn around and

391
00:28:03.599 --> 00:28:06.119
do it and the guys are working
hard. I mean, that's exactly what

392
00:28:06.160 --> 00:28:10.519
happens. There's a couple of numbers
that yesterday went south. I mean,

393
00:28:10.559 --> 00:28:14.319
the Dodgers entered yesterday's ball game and
they scored in the first inning a leadoff

394
00:28:14.359 --> 00:28:18.559
triple by Otani. There was a
walk to Tiascar Hernanez and the ground ball

395
00:28:18.720 --> 00:28:23.559
out, but an RBI by Freddy
Freeman sold one to nothing very quickly.

396
00:28:23.640 --> 00:28:27.920
And they entered yesterday's ball game when
they score first, with a record and

397
00:28:27.960 --> 00:28:33.240
an incredible record of forty one wins
and six losses. And yet they lost

398
00:28:33.680 --> 00:28:37.279
that ball game painfully. As they
looked in the ninth inning trying to close

399
00:28:37.359 --> 00:28:40.839
things out, they got closed out. They had a five run lead in

400
00:28:40.880 --> 00:28:42.640
the ninth, they give up five
in the ninth and a walk off two

401
00:28:42.720 --> 00:28:47.799
run home run in the tenth inning. So runners in scoring position has also

402
00:28:47.880 --> 00:28:52.839
been problematic Dodgers have had. If
we look back now to the last six

403
00:28:52.880 --> 00:28:56.680
games, they've had seventy three advance
with runners in scoring position. What about

404
00:28:56.680 --> 00:29:00.599
the opposing teams, they've had ninety
five opportunities. I just need to change

405
00:29:00.599 --> 00:29:06.160
those numbers around. And today's a
good day for the Dodgers to you know

406
00:29:06.279 --> 00:29:10.200
what, Rick, get a win? Yeah, And we have another term

407
00:29:10.240 --> 00:29:15.440
that we talk about internally with a
broadcast that we will abstain from saying.

408
00:29:15.519 --> 00:29:18.599
But Dave Roberts knows it exactly because
you and I used to walk into his

409
00:29:18.680 --> 00:29:21.400
office and when ask him, Dave, you know what today is? And

410
00:29:21.559 --> 00:29:25.759
you knew exactly the answer. And
hopefully we're all on board today. All

411
00:29:25.880 --> 00:29:29.079
right, Rick, enjoy the all
Star break, and we still got nine

412
00:29:29.079 --> 00:29:33.400
innings of you and Tim Neverett before
we say, see you in a little

413
00:29:33.400 --> 00:29:36.319
bit. Thanks, Rick, try
to live life without me. Hang in

414
00:29:36.359 --> 00:29:40.319
there. We'll send it back to
you in the studio. Tim, all

now by the Dodgers Vice President of Player

433
00:31:00.480 --> 00:31:03.880
Performance, Brandon McDaniel. Brandon,
thanks a lot for the time. Appreciate

434
00:31:03.880 --> 00:31:07.119
it, Oh, thank you,
Dave. I enjoy being on here every

435
00:31:07.119 --> 00:31:10.119
time as I say thank you for
your time. I see a clock on

436
00:31:10.160 --> 00:31:14.319
your forearm, a tattoo. What
does that represent? This is actually when

437
00:31:14.400 --> 00:31:18.160
my son was born. So you
notice there's a day. This is my

438
00:31:18.240 --> 00:31:21.240
oldest Caleb, and the exact time
he was born. I got three of

439
00:31:21.279 --> 00:31:23.200
them, so I have three boys, one for Turner and then one for

440
00:31:23.240 --> 00:31:27.799
Asher on the backside here. So
it's just kind of like significance to me.

441
00:31:27.839 --> 00:31:33.119
I'm always looking down in my arm
and it's a reminder what the most

442
00:31:33.119 --> 00:31:36.400
important things in life are. Even
when the Dodgers are on the road,

443
00:31:36.480 --> 00:31:40.759
you're away from your family quite a
bit because you're working with the Dodgers injured

444
00:31:40.799 --> 00:31:45.839
players here in Los Angeles. So
right now on the last home stand,

445
00:31:45.880 --> 00:31:49.440
I saw you working a lot with
Mookie Betts. How has that progression gone

446
00:31:49.519 --> 00:31:52.160
for him and for you? Yeah? No, I mean, obviously it's

447
00:31:52.160 --> 00:31:56.400
an unfortunate situation to be in where
someone gets injured, especially when it's Mookie

448
00:31:56.400 --> 00:32:01.039
Bets, and the nature of these
injuries, especially like a broken bone like

449
00:32:01.039 --> 00:32:06.039
he has. Right away, we
just we step into the mindset of what

450
00:32:06.079 --> 00:32:08.039
can we go get better at?
And it helps when it's someone like you

451
00:32:08.039 --> 00:32:12.000
know, Mookie who's very motivated and
wants to be the best on the field.

452
00:32:12.119 --> 00:32:15.400
So we've kind of tried to attack
some things. He's going after some

453
00:32:15.400 --> 00:32:19.599
things in the weight room that we
can do without gripping with that left hand.

454
00:32:19.680 --> 00:32:23.039
Right now, He's going after some
speed stuff, like to make sure

455
00:32:23.039 --> 00:32:28.160
that when we come back from you
know, from the il, that he's

456
00:32:28.200 --> 00:32:30.559
ready to sprint as fast as he
can. And then lastly it is the

457
00:32:30.640 --> 00:32:35.480
throwing and so like we know right
now that we can throw, and so

458
00:32:35.519 --> 00:32:37.920
if you see us out here,
we started with kind of a throwing program

459
00:32:37.960 --> 00:32:39.759
over the first ten days, just
to make sure that his arms stayed in

460
00:32:39.759 --> 00:32:45.000
shape. But now we're attacking like
very specific things with Dino on the field,

461
00:32:45.039 --> 00:32:47.000
like positions that he's going to get
into to throw the baseball, so

462
00:32:47.079 --> 00:32:51.279
that he feels like he's mastered those
things so that when we hit the ground

463
00:32:51.319 --> 00:32:53.000
running, when he comes back,
he's ready to go. This reminds me

464
00:32:53.079 --> 00:32:58.279
of when you were working with Corey
Seeger after he broke his hand in twenty

465
00:32:58.359 --> 00:33:01.599
twenty one, and so completely opposite
hand. Corey broke his right hand and

466
00:33:01.640 --> 00:33:07.160
we couldn't throw. And Corey obviously
another extremely motivated player and had a great

467
00:33:07.200 --> 00:33:10.960
relationship with him. We had an
air cast like a splint on his right

468
00:33:10.960 --> 00:33:15.400
hand, like a bubble basically,
and I was hitting ground balls to him

469
00:33:15.440 --> 00:33:19.319
like the day after he was clear
to get onto the field, because ultimately

470
00:33:19.359 --> 00:33:22.079
we were just trying to maximize Corey
into being the best short south that he

471
00:33:22.119 --> 00:33:25.240
possibly could be, and that was
more. You know, no injury is

472
00:33:25.279 --> 00:33:30.920
rewarding, but one of the more
rewarding processes I've ever been a part of

473
00:33:30.079 --> 00:33:32.519
is like when Corey came back,
he was able to ball out short.

474
00:33:32.880 --> 00:33:38.039
Brandon McDaniel, the Dodgers VP of
Player Performance, is our guest. You've

475
00:33:38.039 --> 00:33:42.240
been with the team for a long
time now. You were here during a

476
00:33:42.319 --> 00:33:47.039
neck Colletti era and obviously here in
the transition with Andrew Friedman. It feels

477
00:33:47.079 --> 00:33:52.440
like this is a well oiled machine
now after you guys got the infrastructure put

478
00:33:52.480 --> 00:33:57.079
in place. It's crazy to look
back. This is my thirteenth season with

479
00:33:57.160 --> 00:34:00.359
the Dodgers. It was very fortunate
to be around Net and Net gave me

480
00:34:00.400 --> 00:34:04.319
my first big league job, and
I'll always be in debt to him and

481
00:34:04.359 --> 00:34:07.480
to Stan Conti, and we did
some really special things. And twelve,

482
00:34:07.519 --> 00:34:12.280
when everything kind of turned over when
mister Walter A bought the team in thirteen,

483
00:34:12.320 --> 00:34:15.519
when we went out and you know, got Zach Grienky and hunjin Rue

484
00:34:15.639 --> 00:34:20.400
and Carl Crawford was coming off the
IL and Josh Beckett and all those things.

485
00:34:20.400 --> 00:34:23.199
So like it was really cool to
be around that era of players and

486
00:34:24.000 --> 00:34:28.280
that era of success because we had
a really good team in thirteen, We

487
00:34:28.320 --> 00:34:31.239
had a really good squad in fourteen. But obviously Andrew coming in this is

488
00:34:31.239 --> 00:34:35.599
the tenth season that I've been fortunate
enough to work with him. Like the

489
00:34:35.719 --> 00:34:39.119
process at which we go about things
all the way from you know, the

490
00:34:39.199 --> 00:34:45.039
International Amateur Draft to PD all the
way up to like the things that we

491
00:34:45.079 --> 00:34:49.440
do at the big league level has
afforded all of us on the staff the

492
00:34:49.480 --> 00:34:52.599
opportunity to go be creative, go
be curious, and to do things like

493
00:34:52.599 --> 00:34:55.880
we're doing with Mookie right now that
maybe fifteen years ago probably weren't the norm

494
00:34:57.000 --> 00:34:59.840
for a strength coach to be out
here working with somebody like that. But

495
00:35:00.320 --> 00:35:05.000
the environment that has been created as
ultimately open is up to have that well

496
00:35:05.000 --> 00:35:07.119
oiled machine. Like you mentioned before, I let you go going back to

497
00:35:07.159 --> 00:35:10.880
Segur in twenty one and what we're
seeing with MOOKI right now. It feels

498
00:35:10.920 --> 00:35:15.480
like the work that you're doing with
them actually makes them feel like they're a

499
00:35:15.719 --> 00:35:22.800
competing and be accomplishing something. So
does that help their mental health? Yeah?

500
00:35:22.920 --> 00:35:25.880
I mean, I think the hardest
thing and of doing this role,

501
00:35:25.920 --> 00:35:30.639
I've been around a lot of guys
that have been injured. Obviously that kind

502
00:35:30.639 --> 00:35:35.039
of sucks to say it that way, but I have been and you feel

503
00:35:35.079 --> 00:35:37.840
disconnected, I think, and you
feel disconnected from your team at times.

504
00:35:37.840 --> 00:35:43.039
You feel disconnected from the competition and
from the game. And I don't think

505
00:35:43.039 --> 00:35:46.000
that what I'm doing is anything special
anything that anybody else could do. What

506
00:35:46.039 --> 00:35:50.480
I want to do is provide an
environment, a competitive environment, for guys

507
00:35:50.719 --> 00:35:52.000
to be able to come in and
get their work in every day and feel

508
00:35:52.000 --> 00:35:54.840
like they're working towards something, and
not just working towards, you know,

509
00:35:55.280 --> 00:35:59.719
being activated, but like working towards
greatness. Let's not only do this to

510
00:35:59.719 --> 00:36:01.440
make sure that you're gonna be better
when you come back, but hopefully something

511
00:36:01.519 --> 00:36:06.400
Mookie picks up something or learns something
about himself that he takes with him for

512
00:36:06.440 --> 00:36:07.599
the rest of his career. And
to me, that's like where I get

513
00:36:07.599 --> 00:36:13.639
the most gratification, no pun intended. MOOKI is in great hands with Brandon

514
00:36:13.719 --> 00:36:16.800
McDaniel, the Dodgers VP of Player
Performance. Thanks a lot for the time

515
00:36:16.880 --> 00:36:20.639

00:36:20.639 --> 00:36:22.199
I really appreciate it. Thank you. There he is the man, Brandon

Tim, thanks very much. We

00:39:05.800 --> 00:39:08.599
count you down to the first pitch
between the Dodgers and the Tigers. Overcast

559
00:39:08.639 --> 00:39:13.599
skies. There is a threat of
rain in the area, but once game

560
00:39:13.639 --> 00:39:16.079
time comes around, shouldn't be a
problem. A little bit breezier than it

561
00:39:16.119 --> 00:39:20.760
has been in the last few days
here in the Motor City, and the

562
00:39:20.800 --> 00:39:24.679
Dodgers and Tigers even at a game
apiece. The Dodgers looking to put yesterday's

563
00:39:24.679 --> 00:39:29.480
game behind them. It was the
worst loss of the season, losing a

564
00:39:29.519 --> 00:39:32.199
five run lead in the ninth.
But twenty four hours have gone by.

565
00:39:32.239 --> 00:39:36.000
You got to forget about it,
move on, play today, try to

566
00:39:36.000 --> 00:39:39.320
get a win. Brent Honeywell Junior, picked up on waivers yesterday by the

567
00:39:39.360 --> 00:39:44.079
Dodgers, will make the start.
The right hander twenty nine years of age,

568
00:39:44.199 --> 00:39:47.719
no decisions in a two seventy era. He gets parachuted in and he

569
00:39:47.800 --> 00:39:52.599
will get the start. Yeah.
He had two appearances with the Pirates at

570
00:39:52.639 --> 00:39:57.320
the big league level this year,
signed initially with the Tampa Bay Rays.

571
00:39:57.400 --> 00:40:01.199
But here's what took place this morning
on the buses and I was on Dave

572
00:40:01.280 --> 00:40:06.000
Roberts is already on the bus.
Here comes someone we had not seen before.

573
00:40:06.079 --> 00:40:07.480
He got on the bus, took
a couple of steps back and goes,

574
00:40:08.079 --> 00:40:13.760
mister Roberts, I'm Brent Honeywell,
and he goes, I'm Dave Roberts,

575
00:40:13.760 --> 00:40:16.199
and this is Bob Garren and welcome
aboard. We need you today.

576
00:40:16.239 --> 00:40:20.920
So that's how it worked out today. And for mister Honeywell, who made

577
00:40:21.000 --> 00:40:23.039
the introductions, may be wearing name
tags as he got into the locker room.

578
00:40:23.239 --> 00:40:29.000
He is the thirtieth different pitcher than
Dodgers have used so far this year.

579
00:40:29.280 --> 00:40:31.599
Bullpenn Day for both teams. Bow
Briskey will come out of the Tigers

580
00:40:31.679 --> 00:40:36.840
pen and make the start for Detroit
Brisky one and zero with a three,

581
00:40:36.920 --> 00:40:40.039
five to two EER. It'll be
his second appearance in this series. Brisky

582
00:40:40.159 --> 00:40:45.000
and Honeywell. That's the pitching matchup
on a bullpen Day, final game of

583
00:40:45.079 --> 00:40:46.800
the first half leading into the All
Star break. Tim all right, don't

584
00:40:46.840 --> 00:40:52.159
forget when this game is over.
I'll be back with all your postgame festivities,

585
00:40:52.239 --> 00:40:55.440
reaction high lights, and of course, Dodger talk as well. Dodgers

586
00:40:55.679 --> 00:41:00.079
finishing off the first half of the
season in Detroit, taking on the Tiger,

587
00:41:00.440 --> 00:41:02.000
hoping to go into the break on
a winning note. First pitch is

588
00:41:02.079 --> 00:41:05.719
next. Enjoy the game, everybody. I'm Tim Kates. It's been Rogo
