00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:08.400
And now your host for Marongo Casino
Dodgers on Tech Tam Case, Hi everybody,

2
00:00:08.439 --> 00:00:12.880
and welcome in to Morongo Casino Dodgers
on Deck. Hope you're well on

3
00:00:12.919 --> 00:00:17.719
this Thursday morning, soon to be
afternoon here in Southern California or Los Angeles.

4
00:00:17.719 --> 00:00:22.239
Dodgers forty six and thirty on the
season, first place atop the NL

5
00:00:22.320 --> 00:00:25.679
West after taking the first two games
in Denver of this series. The Dodgers

6
00:00:25.920 --> 00:00:29.199
fell to the Rockies last night,
but tonight they're right back at it,

7
00:00:29.359 --> 00:00:33.280
a chance to win the series at
Coors Field, Gavin Stone on the mound.

8
00:00:33.479 --> 00:00:37.159
In the series finale, first pitch
from Denver's coming up at twelve ten.

9
00:00:37.280 --> 00:00:40.359
Between then and now, we got
a lot to get to here on

10
00:00:40.520 --> 00:00:45.159
Marongo Casino Dodgers on Deck, will
hear from Dodger manager Dave Roberts. We'll

11
00:00:45.159 --> 00:00:50.000
preview this pitch, he matchup David
Vass goes one on one with Max Munsey.

12
00:00:50.119 --> 00:00:54.399
That was yesterday today, Andre Ehier. Shortly we'll check in with Kirsten

13
00:00:54.439 --> 00:00:57.880
Watson, and in just a few
minutes we'll hear from Rick Monday and Tim

14
00:00:57.920 --> 00:01:00.479
Neverett out the Galpin Motors broadcast boot
Well last night in Denver. It was

15
00:01:00.520 --> 00:01:04.879
the return of Bobby Miller, who
ended up giving the Dodgers almost seven innings

16
00:01:04.920 --> 00:01:08.760
six and a third, five runs, six hits, three walks, two

17
00:01:08.799 --> 00:01:12.000
strikeouts in a home run. The
home run, well, that was a

18
00:01:12.040 --> 00:01:17.159
three run shot in the first.
This is Bomby Miller's first start since the

19
00:01:17.239 --> 00:01:23.239
tenth of April and his two zero
pitch to Tolia I swung on pretty well

20
00:01:23.319 --> 00:01:26.280
hit center field deep back. After
it, piz Andy looks up, it's

21
00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:32.799
gone a three run holding Michael Tolia's
sixth home run of the year and the

22
00:01:32.959 --> 00:01:38.280
Rockies on the board. It is
three to nothing is Nicknahn and Stallings come

23
00:01:38.280 --> 00:01:42.200
in to score ahead of Tolia.
Michael Tolia the three run home run four

24
00:01:42.319 --> 00:01:46.719
hundred and twenty seven feet to the
center field that gave the Rockies a three

25
00:01:46.760 --> 00:01:49.280
to nothing lead in the first,
but that didn't last long. In the

26
00:01:49.319 --> 00:01:53.359
second show, he Otani cleared the
bases with a basis clearing double. The

27
00:01:53.400 --> 00:01:57.280
game was tied at three, then
Freddy Freeman a single to right that score

28
00:01:57.359 --> 00:02:01.159
Otani. The Dodgers with four four
in the second retook the lead up four

29
00:02:01.200 --> 00:02:05.159
to three, but in the fourth
the Rockies would tie it up in the

30
00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:07.199
fifth, the Dodgers would retake the
league. It's like a ping pong match,

31
00:02:07.240 --> 00:02:10.520
back and forth. Jason Hayward with
the RBI double Dodgers up six to

32
00:02:10.639 --> 00:02:15.080
four in the seventh, ought Bortcherit
scored on an air that brought in a

33
00:02:15.159 --> 00:02:17.960
run. It gave the Dodgers a
six to five lead. A couple of

34
00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:22.840
sackflies in the seventh and ninth that
tied the game and then gave the Rockies

35
00:02:22.879 --> 00:02:25.960
the walkoff win in the ninth inning. Doyle to sackfly, scoring cave as

36
00:02:25.960 --> 00:02:30.800
the Rockies win it in the ninth
seven to sixth. The final, The

37
00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:34.159
Dodgers saw a good effort from Bobby
Miller last night. He gave him the

38
00:02:34.159 --> 00:02:37.479
inning. It's not necessarily a great
performance, but gave him a good an

39
00:02:37.560 --> 00:02:40.560
outing into the seventh, the Dodgers'
bullpen just had to get an inning in

40
00:02:40.639 --> 00:02:46.360
two thirds as Johann Ramirez gets the
loss. Dodgers fall to forty six and

41
00:02:46.520 --> 00:02:49.919
thirty on this season today, though
they still have a chance to get the

42
00:02:49.960 --> 00:02:53.159
series win before heading home for a
two game series against the Anaheim Angels.

43
00:02:53.319 --> 00:02:57.560
Gavin Stone on the mound this afternoon
and with more, Let's head out to

44
00:02:57.560 --> 00:03:00.800
the gallopin motors broadcast both as we
say good morning to Rick Monday and Tim

45
00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:05.360
never guys, thank you Tim.
Beautiful afternoon. Not a cloud in the

46
00:03:05.360 --> 00:03:08.639
sky right now over Coors Field in
Denver's we get set for game four of

47
00:03:08.680 --> 00:03:13.599
this four game set, Dodgers looking
to win three of four, Rocky's trying

48
00:03:13.639 --> 00:03:16.599
to spoil it and split after last
night's walk off win for Colorado. Ty

49
00:03:16.680 --> 00:03:20.759
Block will get the start for the
Rockies today. He's three and four in

50
00:03:20.800 --> 00:03:24.120
a four to six five era.
Gavin Stone will go for the Dodgers.

51
00:03:24.400 --> 00:03:28.199
He is seven and two in a
three to z oh one and the young

52
00:03:28.240 --> 00:03:30.919
man making his fourteenth start pitching pretty
well lately. But we go back to

53
00:03:30.960 --> 00:03:36.439
last night moment a game the Dodgers
had the lead after the sixth inning six

54
00:03:36.520 --> 00:03:40.280
to four, Rockies took advantage of
an error in the seventh inning by Cavin

55
00:03:40.280 --> 00:03:44.080
Biggio, scored an extra run,
tied it up, and it came down

56
00:03:44.080 --> 00:03:46.280
to the bottom of the night.
So many times we're looking at losses of

57
00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:50.879
games and he's trying to find something
that's positive. It's not that difficult to

58
00:03:50.879 --> 00:03:53.800
find something positive. Last night and
even though the loss, as you mentioned,

59
00:03:53.840 --> 00:03:58.360
seven to six. But if you
look at Bobby Miller, after settling

60
00:03:58.400 --> 00:04:00.599
down in that first inning he started, he had a ground ball out,

61
00:04:00.840 --> 00:04:04.199
he had a strikeout very quickly,
two outs in a walk, there was

62
00:04:04.439 --> 00:04:08.280
a single, and then the three
run home run. After that, Bobby

63
00:04:08.319 --> 00:04:13.759
Miller really showed the reason why the
Dodgers were anticipating his return because he wound

64
00:04:13.879 --> 00:04:16.439
up going six in the third innings
five runs, yes, but only six

65
00:04:16.560 --> 00:04:20.519
hits. He walked three, struck
out two. But the other thing too,

66
00:04:20.639 --> 00:04:26.240
is he had three ground ball double
plays, so he pitched to situations

67
00:04:26.560 --> 00:04:30.399
and for Miller, a very good
outing at least in my estimation, in

68
00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:32.600
coming off the injured list, because
if we look back, the outings that

69
00:04:32.680 --> 00:04:36.519
he had in the rehab starts were
not particularly great, with the command of

70
00:04:36.600 --> 00:04:40.879
strike zoned last night after the first
inning much better. Now. Bobby says

71
00:04:40.879 --> 00:04:44.279
he's feeling very well today, which
is good news as far as runs are

72
00:04:44.360 --> 00:04:47.279
concerned, and the offense runs have
not been that tough to come by in

73
00:04:47.319 --> 00:04:53.199
this series. These two teams have
combined for forty seven runs over the first

74
00:04:53.279 --> 00:04:55.800
three games, now the most run
scored in the series. So far this

75
00:04:55.920 --> 00:05:00.480
year sixty five the A's and the
Rangers back in early May and Oakland.

76
00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:03.639
But you know this is cors Field. The Dodgers could get and the Rockies

77
00:05:03.680 --> 00:05:06.199
could get up to sixty five runs, who knows. And and for the

78
00:05:06.279 --> 00:05:11.439
Dodgers trying to get things going show, Hey Otani again is going to lead

79
00:05:11.519 --> 00:05:14.839
things off. He's in that leadoff
spot. He's done a very good job

80
00:05:14.920 --> 00:05:17.480
since the loss of the Mookie Bets
with a fractured hand. And for Otani,

81
00:05:17.560 --> 00:05:21.680
he's reached based safely now in eight
of his sixteen plate appearances as the

82
00:05:21.759 --> 00:05:28.120
leadoff hitter and he's seven fifteen in
that stretch, so he's really helped set

83
00:05:28.160 --> 00:05:30.800
the table and get it going.
So Tani, then Will Smith, followed

84
00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:35.160
by Freddie Freeman, then Tioscar Hernandez
again against the left hander. We're seeing

85
00:05:35.199 --> 00:05:41.240
Dave Roberts go with primarily a right
handed hitting lineup. And for Freddie Fraeman,

86
00:05:41.360 --> 00:05:44.920
seventeen game on bass streak, hitting
three point fifty during that stretch and

87
00:05:44.959 --> 00:05:48.279
he has scored sixteen runs. So
Freeman getting it done offensively. Key k

88
00:05:48.399 --> 00:05:51.759
Hernandez out there third today it'll be
another chance for Chris Taylor he'll be at

89
00:05:51.759 --> 00:05:56.160
second patting nine. Yeah. And
for the Rockies, they understand fhul Wells.

90
00:05:56.199 --> 00:05:59.879
You know, they've won consecutive games. They're trying to do that for

91
00:05:59.879 --> 00:06:03.480
the first time this month. Their
understanding also trying to come from behind.

92
00:06:03.560 --> 00:06:06.839
Why do we say that, Well, the Rockies have trailed at some point

93
00:06:08.240 --> 00:06:13.439
in sixty four of their first seventy
four games this season. That's uppill.

94
00:06:13.560 --> 00:06:17.240
That's the highest total of runs looking
up and trailing the other team in Major

95
00:06:17.319 --> 00:06:20.800
League Baseball to this point. Since
the start of the twenty nineteen season,

96
00:06:20.839 --> 00:06:26.600
the Dodgers have won sixty of eighty
six against the Rockies. That's the worst

97
00:06:26.639 --> 00:06:30.639
record for any team of the Majors
versus any Division opponent, and the best

98
00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:33.759
on the winning side for the Dodgers. Gavin Stone has the ball today.

99
00:06:33.839 --> 00:06:39.360
Seven and two, Tyve Lock the
lefty three and four Dodgers and Rockies wrapping

We're up to right field. That's
up ace hip Otani is two for four.

119
00:08:13.240 --> 00:08:16.160
Show. Hey. Otani would end
up going two for five the bases

120
00:08:16.240 --> 00:08:20.600
clearing double way back in the second
inning as he finished with three RBI on

121
00:08:20.639 --> 00:08:24.319
the day and I got fifty two
on this season, his twenty first double

122
00:08:24.360 --> 00:08:30.519
of the year. Show e Otani
now raises his average to three seventeen on

123
00:08:30.600 --> 00:08:33.480
this season. That Otani rewind brought

N dot com. This is Kirston's corner

126
00:08:43.279 --> 00:08:46.480
with Kirston Watson. Hey, Kirsten
now joins it. It's from cors Field

127
00:08:46.480 --> 00:08:50.759
and Denver before the finale of this
four game series. Kirsten last night to

128
00:08:50.919 --> 00:08:54.720
Oscar Hernandez came out of the game. He's in the lineup today. What's

129
00:08:54.799 --> 00:08:58.200
going on? Yeah? You know. The good thing is he's all good.

130
00:08:58.279 --> 00:09:01.639
So yesterday Dave Roberts cided to take
him out for a couple of reasons.

131
00:09:01.639 --> 00:09:05.120
One, he's playing in all four
here at Course Field, and you

132
00:09:05.159 --> 00:09:07.919
know it's not the easiest of places
to play. The altitude in Denver obviously

133
00:09:07.919 --> 00:09:11.360
makes it very challenging. And as
much as Taoscar said that he feels really

134
00:09:11.360 --> 00:09:13.279
good, his body's in a good
spot, he was saying, you know,

135
00:09:13.320 --> 00:09:16.480
when you get you do that first
to third, it's not easy.

136
00:09:16.559 --> 00:09:20.480
All of a sudden, the lungs
tightened up a little bit. So Dave

137
00:09:20.559 --> 00:09:22.519
was saying, it was really just
kind of trying to get ahead of things

138
00:09:22.519 --> 00:09:26.080
and wanting to help protect him.
Taoskar takes a lot of pride and wanting

139
00:09:26.120 --> 00:09:28.960
to be an everyday player. So
as you mentioned today, he is back

140
00:09:30.000 --> 00:09:33.480
out there, he's playing in right
field, so he just wanted to Dave

141
00:09:33.519 --> 00:09:37.600
was saying, ultimately he wanted to
get Chris Taylor in at bad. He

142
00:09:37.679 --> 00:09:39.440
wanted to get Tioscar off of his
feet. Yes, there have been times

143
00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:43.879
where we've seen this before. Typically
the games are a little bit broken open.

144
00:09:45.159 --> 00:09:48.080
You know, it's kind of a
five run game or a six run

145
00:09:48.120 --> 00:09:50.799
game in which will take you know, Freddy and Tioscar and even Mooki off

146
00:09:50.840 --> 00:09:54.559
their feet. So to do it
in a two run game obviously did come

147
00:09:54.720 --> 00:09:56.159
bring up some questions, but Dave
was like, you know what, he

148
00:09:56.200 --> 00:10:00.480
did it because he'd done it before. He feels good about hi decision,

149
00:10:00.519 --> 00:10:03.720
and he did not. It was
not the reason they lost last night.

150
00:10:03.799 --> 00:10:07.159
And so but I think the most
important thing is that Taioscar is he's good

151
00:10:07.240 --> 00:10:09.879
to go and he is back out
there today. Just wanted to give him

152
00:10:09.879 --> 00:10:13.000
a little bit of time to kind
of recover and get off his feet.

153
00:10:13.279 --> 00:10:16.679
Kirsten's brought to buy cars for kids, the easiest way to get rid of

154
00:10:16.759 --> 00:10:18.519
old cars on a today and your
car could be picked up tomorrow. Donate

155
00:10:18.559 --> 00:10:22.600
now carsfrokids dot org. That's cars
with the K. Gavin Stone on the

156
00:10:22.639 --> 00:10:26.240
mound tonight, and he's been really
good. You can make a case that

157
00:10:26.279 --> 00:10:30.360
he's been all Star worthy good this
first half of this season and he gets

158
00:10:30.360 --> 00:10:33.360
to start in this finale. Yeah, he really has been fantastic. He's

159
00:10:33.399 --> 00:10:37.720
going deep into the games, he's
been really efficient using just his pitch mix

160
00:10:37.840 --> 00:10:43.720
so well and just continuing to really, you know, carry that confidence of

161
00:10:43.759 --> 00:10:46.320
not only just an ace of a
team, but someone who's going to have

162
00:10:46.360 --> 00:10:50.120
a lot of success in this league. And so today is going to be

163
00:10:50.159 --> 00:10:52.519
a new challenge for him, So
you're playing at Coors Field for the first

164
00:10:52.559 --> 00:10:56.840
time. What he does have to
his advantage is, you know the Rockies

165
00:10:56.879 --> 00:11:00.399
team what we saw in game one
of this years against James Packs and they're

166
00:11:00.519 --> 00:11:03.600
very aggressive. So if you can
get ahead in the counts early, then

167
00:11:03.600 --> 00:11:07.279
that should be a good place for
him. But just having that command of

168
00:11:07.639 --> 00:11:09.240
his pitch mix and being in a
really good spot, I think that will

169
00:11:09.279 --> 00:11:13.639
allow him to hopefully get deep into
the game. Because that's also a big

170
00:11:13.799 --> 00:11:16.000
focus because a lot of not only
just what he does, but what the

171
00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:20.519
group does today. It has impact
on what the plan is going to be

172
00:11:20.639 --> 00:11:24.840
tomorrow back at home at Dodgers Stadium
against the Angels. We will find out

173
00:11:24.840 --> 00:11:26.399
how he can do today, hopefully
get the Dodgers all win, get back

174
00:11:26.440 --> 00:11:30.120
home for this two game series.
Cares still, we appreciate it still to

189
00:12:37.480 --> 00:12:41.399
Clayton Kershaw yesterday threw down in Rancho
Koucamonga for the Quakes. More on

190
00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:43.559
that coming up, and she had
done for the year after having Tommy John

191
00:12:43.639 --> 00:12:46.279
surgery. All right, let's head
back out to Coursefield and check out with

192
00:12:46.279 --> 00:12:52.639
the Dodgers. Skibber any questions for
Dave? Dave? Can you just describe

193
00:12:52.799 --> 00:12:58.600
Dave? Can you talk about the
pressure in the dugouts with Dave Roberts Gavin

194
00:12:58.639 --> 00:13:01.200
Stone today? What are you hoping
to see from him just with facing the

195
00:13:01.279 --> 00:13:07.200
Rockies and also just managing the kind
of elements of Denver. I think as

196
00:13:07.200 --> 00:13:13.840
far as Gavin, I hope I
expect that the psyche doesn't change given pitching

197
00:13:13.879 --> 00:13:20.080
in a different environment altitude. I
don't think he's pitched here before. He

198
00:13:20.159 --> 00:13:22.080
might have, but he's still in
the baseball so well, you know,

199
00:13:22.159 --> 00:13:26.000
we've got a rested pen and he'll
have an extra day, you know,

200
00:13:26.080 --> 00:13:30.159
coming out of this. So I'm
just really proud of the way he goes

201
00:13:30.200 --> 00:13:35.039
out there, attacks hitters, competes
and commands at baseball. You guys put

202
00:13:35.039 --> 00:13:37.159
more thought into just what the plan
is going to be for tomorrow against the

203
00:13:37.159 --> 00:13:41.679
Angels or are you waiting to see
what happens at this game. We are

204
00:13:41.960 --> 00:13:48.799
going to either do a bullpen game
or do a spot start, So I

205
00:13:48.840 --> 00:13:54.799
don't know if it's going to be
somebody from Triple A or it's going to

206
00:13:54.879 --> 00:13:58.360
be you know, yarbs, depending
on how we do it with an open

207
00:13:58.480 --> 00:14:01.679
or something like that. I just
don't know right now. Is Land and

208
00:14:01.759 --> 00:14:07.440
Knack an option yep. Do you
know what's going to be next for Kershawn?

209
00:14:07.559 --> 00:14:11.320
And is he going to stay in
rancho or they're going to be is

210
00:14:11.320 --> 00:14:13.279
he going to start going up levels? You know what, Jack, I

211
00:14:13.519 --> 00:14:16.720
don't know that answer. I should
know it. I'll find that out.

212
00:14:16.759 --> 00:14:22.519
But I do know the next one
is gonna be The plan is for four

213
00:14:22.639 --> 00:14:26.879
innings, but I don't know where
is he kind of maybe not a head

214
00:14:26.879 --> 00:14:28.720
of schedule, but but has he
kind of gone about as quick through this

215
00:14:28.799 --> 00:14:33.519
process to this point? Is you
guys going to hope? Yes? Yeah,

216
00:14:33.600 --> 00:14:39.759
I think obviously doctor alatrosh Clayton that
the rehab, guys, training staff,

217
00:14:39.799 --> 00:14:45.799
everybody deserves all the credit. As
for me, He's blown through this

218
00:14:46.120 --> 00:14:48.840
and I hope it continues. All
right. There's Dave Roberts down the dugout

233
00:15:54.720 --> 00:16:00.240
Yesterday in Rancho Cucamonga, a sellout
crowd at the Epicenter to watch Clayton Kershaw

234
00:16:00.320 --> 00:16:03.080
make a rehab start. Sellout crowd
at low Mart Field over there, Tim

235
00:16:03.240 --> 00:16:07.960
and certainly a lot of buzz and
excitement for the fact that Clayton Kershaw made

236
00:16:07.960 --> 00:16:15.840
his first rehab start since undergoing his
first ever surgery that left shoulder surgery performed

237
00:16:15.840 --> 00:16:19.320
by the great doctor Neil Ella Trosh
has allowed him now not to have a

238
00:16:19.480 --> 00:16:23.799
setback. Last night three innings,
thirty six pitches, and after the game,

239
00:16:23.879 --> 00:16:27.919
Clayton spoke to quite a few media
members that made the trip to the

240
00:16:29.000 --> 00:16:32.799
IE. Well, I think I
think the significance will be making it back

241
00:16:32.840 --> 00:16:34.759
to the big leagues. You know. I think this is just another step

242
00:16:34.759 --> 00:16:38.279
in the process. It doesn't mean
it's not important, but ultimately all this

243
00:16:38.440 --> 00:16:41.960
is for nothing if you know,
I don't make it back. So it's

244
00:16:42.039 --> 00:16:45.159
good. It's a good another step. I'm not getting, you know,

245
00:16:45.200 --> 00:16:47.919
too high or too low, just
you know, trying to make it through,

246
00:16:48.080 --> 00:16:51.480
you know, make it through three
or four more starts and kind of

247
00:16:51.480 --> 00:16:55.120
see whe I'm at. The biggest
thing, Tim from what I understand talking

248
00:16:55.159 --> 00:17:00.279
to scouts and people around the league, is his fastball velocity. Last night

249
00:17:00.279 --> 00:17:03.799
it was clocked at ninety. If
it doesn't go any higher than that,

250
00:17:04.160 --> 00:17:10.000
it is going to be even more
critical for him to try to develop a

251
00:17:10.079 --> 00:17:12.200
change up, something that he has
said he's not been able to do,

252
00:17:12.599 --> 00:17:17.960
and his former teammates have told me
part of the reason why he has resisted

253
00:17:18.039 --> 00:17:22.920
going all in with the changeup is
because Kershaw is so great, and some

254
00:17:22.000 --> 00:17:26.720
of his greatness is due to the
fact that he tunnels the pitches in the

255
00:17:26.799 --> 00:17:32.799
same armslot and you hear about pronation
of the risk and all that. If

256
00:17:32.799 --> 00:17:37.359
he starts to pronate his wrist a
little bit differently for a changeup, he

257
00:17:37.480 --> 00:17:41.519
has been concerned that it could affect
his money pitch the slider. So that's

258
00:17:41.559 --> 00:17:45.200
something to keep an eye on in
these next three or four rehab starts.

259
00:17:45.279 --> 00:17:48.599
That's interesting, all right, DV. We're getting closer and closer to that

260
00:17:48.680 --> 00:17:52.680
trade deadline. Any stuff buzzing with
the Dodgers right now. Well, the

261
00:17:52.720 --> 00:17:59.519
two major starting pitchers that are out
there on the trade market are not surprisingly

262
00:17:59.680 --> 00:18:03.039
from the Marlins and White Sox,
two teams that are not going anywhere any

263
00:18:03.079 --> 00:18:08.079
anytime soon. Heyzus Lozardo of the
Marlins is a guy that many teams have

264
00:18:08.160 --> 00:18:14.359
their eyes on. And Garrett Crochet
of the White Sox, who the Dodgers

265
00:18:14.559 --> 00:18:18.359
could see next week when they play
Chicago over there on the south side.

266
00:18:18.480 --> 00:18:22.599
So those are the two names.
And now you don't have Yamamoto, now

267
00:18:22.640 --> 00:18:27.119
you don't have Walker Buehler. Many
people believe at the top of the Dodgers

268
00:18:27.160 --> 00:18:33.160
shopping list now should be a starting
pitcher that can start a playoff game.

269
00:18:33.559 --> 00:18:36.839
David is trained by the Ford F
Series, America's best selling truck for forty

270
00:18:36.880 --> 00:18:41.240
seven years and counting for it gives
you the freedom of choice gas hybrid electric

271
00:18:41.359 --> 00:18:45.079
head of your Southern California for dealers
and find yours Ford F Series built tough.

272
00:18:45.119 --> 00:18:48.799
Freddie Freeman show, Hey Otani,
Dave really feels like they're starting to

273
00:18:48.799 --> 00:18:52.599
heat up here. Yeah, how
about sho hey Otani, who is in

274
00:18:52.640 --> 00:18:56.920
a major slump for about twenty five
games there, came out of it at

275
00:18:56.960 --> 00:19:03.079
the on Sunday Father's Day when he
hit two home runs, and now all

276
00:19:03.119 --> 00:19:07.480
of a sudden, he is nine
for his last eighteen with three home runs,

277
00:19:07.640 --> 00:19:12.880
three doubles and certainly has been a
spark for the Dodgers offense at the

278
00:19:12.920 --> 00:19:18.839
top of the lineup. Freddie Freeman
has in his words, treaded water all

279
00:19:18.880 --> 00:19:22.160
season long, but now in the
month of June, tim he has really

280
00:19:22.240 --> 00:19:27.119
gotten hot, which is a huge
boost for the Dodgers. Freddie Freeman now

281
00:19:27.160 --> 00:19:33.400
hitting three point fifty this month in
seventeen games. That's big, especially with

282
00:19:33.519 --> 00:19:37.839
Max Munsey's still out and now the
Dodgers without Mookie Betts for the next six

283
00:19:37.880 --> 00:19:41.599
to eight weeks. David Gavinstone along
with Tyler Glass now I've been their best

284
00:19:41.599 --> 00:19:45.839
starters so far and healthy starters this
first half of the season. Today's Gavin

285
00:19:45.880 --> 00:19:49.640
Stone's first time ever pitching at Corus
Field, and sometimes that can get to

286
00:19:49.680 --> 00:19:52.720
guys inside their head because of how
many runs or hits you can give up

287
00:19:52.759 --> 00:19:56.119
in a game. Kind of feels
like Gavin Stone to be nice to see

288
00:19:56.160 --> 00:19:57.960
him go out today, young pitcher, never pitched before and have a grid

289
00:19:57.960 --> 00:20:02.720
outing the biggest it's key for a
young pitcher, and we saw it yesterday

290
00:20:02.880 --> 00:20:07.680
in a positive way in a negative
way for Bobby Miller. You can't allow

291
00:20:07.799 --> 00:20:11.720
walks. You start walking guys,
that's when you get into trouble. And

292
00:20:11.759 --> 00:20:15.960
that's where Bobby Miller got in trouble
in the first inning yesterday. The change

293
00:20:15.000 --> 00:20:18.799
up plays there, especially since it's
a hard change up. So I would

294
00:20:18.839 --> 00:20:22.839
imagine if Gavin Stone can throw strikes
like he has all year long. He

295
00:20:22.960 --> 00:20:26.200
should have a good outing today.
Great stuff dv A well, check back

of minutes. Coming up here. I'm

302
00:20:56.440 --> 00:21:00.160
Dodgers and Rockies from Denver. Dodgers

303
00:21:00.200 --> 00:21:03.240
the first two games, dropped the
game last night on a walk off by

00:21:03.279 --> 00:21:06.440
the Rockies. Kevin Stone on the
mountain. Today, first pitch at twelve

305
00:21:06.559 --> 00:21:15.680
ten, without a hot dog who
ws. It's time for the Hawfe Magical

306
00:21:15.720 --> 00:21:21.759
Moment. It's Magical presented by Hawfy
Hottils. Go back to October first,

307
00:21:21.799 --> 00:21:26.680
twenty eighteen. The Dodgers and Rockies
were tied in the division, so they

308
00:21:26.720 --> 00:21:30.160
needed to play Game one sixty three
to out top half of the ninth pinning

309
00:21:32.640 --> 00:21:37.880
oh and two para, swung on
and miss strike three champions strikes out para

and for the sixth consecutive season,
the Dodgers are the best in the West

311
00:21:45.440 --> 00:21:51.559
as they come storming out of the
dugout, congratulating one another on top of

312
00:21:51.599 --> 00:21:56.759
the hill, and that is where
the Dodgers reside, champions of the National

313
00:21:56.839 --> 00:22:02.599
League Western Division, finishing the year
at ninety two and seventy one. The

314
00:22:02.880 --> 00:22:07.000
Rockies finished the year at ninety one
and seventy two. It took an extra

315
00:22:07.119 --> 00:22:11.039
game, but the Dodgers, when
they're six straight l West crown, beating

316

And now joined by David Basse,
here's LA Dodgers broadcaster and World Series

330
00:23:12.039 --> 00:23:17.880
champion Dodger Rick Monday. All right, Rick, the final game of four

331
00:23:18.160 --> 00:23:22.839
at coors Field and the Dodgers come
back tomorrow to play the Angels. But

332
00:23:22.359 --> 00:23:27.599
do you feel like four games at
Corsfield is going to hurt the Dodgers at

333
00:23:27.599 --> 00:23:32.759
that high altitude today? Well,
four games up in this ballpark, David,

334
00:23:32.759 --> 00:23:36.680
as you well know, it's like
spending a week in other ballparks because

335
00:23:36.720 --> 00:23:40.359
of the altitude, is going to
be hot today. One thing that is

336
00:23:40.400 --> 00:23:44.079
good is not a high humidity up
here, almost a mile high above sea

337
00:23:44.160 --> 00:23:48.240
level. But for the Rockies,
you know, a walk off victory last

338
00:23:48.319 --> 00:23:52.119
night at the ninth, they're gonna
sacrifice fly. But for the cottlebron of

339
00:23:52.200 --> 00:23:55.960
Rockies, they're attempting to win consecutive
games for the first time this month.

340
00:23:55.960 --> 00:23:59.079
And here we are in the twentieth
of June. Yeah, they've only won

341
00:23:59.160 --> 00:24:02.559
five games this month, and the
Dodgers are looking to get out of town

342
00:24:02.599 --> 00:24:06.160
and have a happy flight. Andy
pa has Rick. I know you keep

343
00:24:06.160 --> 00:24:10.720
a close eye on center fielders around
the league. Defensively one thing, but

344
00:24:10.799 --> 00:24:15.119
also offensively. Now it seems like
he has countered with a pretty good adjustment

345
00:24:15.160 --> 00:24:19.960
to get his front foot down.
Yeah, he has. From a hitting

346
00:24:21.000 --> 00:24:23.000
standpoint, I think there's a couple
of things and he really needs to get

347
00:24:23.000 --> 00:24:29.119
that front foot down early, in
particular with the hard stuff. Last night,

348
00:24:29.160 --> 00:24:33.119
a little bit of trouble with breaking
ball away a strikeout and there was

349
00:24:33.359 --> 00:24:37.319
another pitch away called looking and then
the change up the third strike out of

350
00:24:37.359 --> 00:24:41.799
the ball game. Did have a
base hit score also had a double.

351
00:24:41.480 --> 00:24:45.599
He's a young player that the more
and more we see him, David,

352
00:24:45.799 --> 00:24:49.400
the more interesting he becomes. He's
got all the tools that you could have.

353
00:24:51.240 --> 00:24:52.799
He's a big guy. He's strong
to begin with. He's got a

354
00:24:52.960 --> 00:24:56.680
very good idea in what he's trying
to do. A couple of things,

355
00:24:56.720 --> 00:25:02.039
not only getting his foot down from
a hitting standpoint, but as a guy

356
00:25:02.039 --> 00:25:04.599
that used to play a center field
or just watching him, this is not

357
00:25:04.960 --> 00:25:08.200
a complaint that he has. I'm
trying to help some way and somehow,

358
00:25:08.279 --> 00:25:11.960
you know. I've talked to a
couple of coaches. Defensively, he still

359
00:25:11.960 --> 00:25:15.319
has his right foot in the air
when the ball's crossing home plate, and

360
00:25:15.599 --> 00:25:19.119
I keep talking about it. It's
gonna cost him a step going to his

361
00:25:19.279 --> 00:25:22.680
right. It's probably a step and
a half, maybe two steps going to

362
00:25:22.680 --> 00:25:26.400
his left, because you cannot move
until you get your right foot down and

363
00:25:26.559 --> 00:25:30.119
plant. If you're going to go
either to your right. You can fall

364
00:25:30.200 --> 00:25:32.960
to your right, but you have
to plant that foot, the right foot

365
00:25:33.000 --> 00:25:34.519
down if you're going to go to
your left. So just little things here

366
00:25:34.519 --> 00:25:37.880
and there. We've watched him throw. The throwing has gotten much better.

367
00:25:37.960 --> 00:25:41.000
From the outfield. He has a
strong arm to begin with, and he's

368
00:25:41.079 --> 00:25:45.359
understanding. Now, look, his
job to throw the ball back in is

369
00:25:45.440 --> 00:25:48.119
to hit the cutoff man. You
want the longest throw from the outfielders,

370
00:25:48.480 --> 00:25:52.839
and I think infielders now understand,
Hey, he's got a very strong arm.

371
00:25:52.920 --> 00:25:56.480
They don't have to go out as
far to get the throw from him.

372
00:25:56.960 --> 00:26:00.480
Yeah, no doubt. The arm
is pretty strong and made your league

373
00:26:00.559 --> 00:26:04.039
arm. I love hearing you talk
about how you see the littlest things when

374
00:26:04.039 --> 00:26:07.960
it comes to outfielders that can be
the difference between catching a ball or a

375
00:26:08.000 --> 00:26:14.119
ball going for extra bases. Well, it's fundamentals. Fundamentals. Also,

376
00:26:14.200 --> 00:26:18.400
how he feels ground balls they're coming, He feels them off to the side

377
00:26:18.000 --> 00:26:22.799
and brings the ball in the glove
to the hand. I would suggest that

378
00:26:22.880 --> 00:26:26.799
he'd take the hand and meet the
glove with the ball. A couple of

379
00:26:26.880 --> 00:26:30.720
reasons, Hey, you're not taking
as long to transfer all the way to

380
00:26:30.759 --> 00:26:33.880
the bare hand. The other part, too, is the sooner you reach

381
00:26:33.960 --> 00:26:38.759
into the glove, the longer you
have to grip the ball cross seams.

382
00:26:38.839 --> 00:26:42.759
Why cross seams, because then the
ball is not going to tail away from

383
00:26:42.799 --> 00:26:47.359
you. Because you can throw really
the ball and not have the seams in

384
00:26:47.480 --> 00:26:51.000
disarray. If you will, it
gives you longer time to collect yourself.

385
00:26:51.319 --> 00:26:55.079
If you go to meet the ball
in the glove instead of taking the ball

386
00:26:55.119 --> 00:26:56.920
in the glove all the way over
to the bare hand. Hey, I

387
00:26:56.960 --> 00:27:02.519
always say this, No, mar
Garcia is a great resource for the infielders

388
00:27:02.519 --> 00:27:06.720
and hitters, and Rick Monday is
a great resource for the outfielders for the

389
00:27:06.759 --> 00:27:10.400
reason that he just explained, you
know how to tea Look, well,

390
00:27:10.720 --> 00:27:15.920
it's it's a learning process. And
you know this is this is a difficult

391
00:27:15.920 --> 00:27:19.440
classroom at the major league level.
It's a constant work in progress. And

392
00:27:19.839 --> 00:27:22.599
he's not afraid to work. All
right, Rick, I got my front

393
00:27:22.599 --> 00:27:26.720
foot down ready to go for first
pitch. Hey, we'll see you tomorrow.

394
00:27:26.720 --> 00:27:30.440
We'll put both feet down to Dodgers
Stadium. Look forward to it.

395
00:27:30.720 --> 00:27:33.599
Rick Monday and Tim never will be
on the call. We'll check in a

396
00:27:33.599 --> 00:27:34.920
little bit later. Tim, back
to you, all right. Thanks a

insults from a Dodger player, It's
an engagement of endearment. This is high

411
00:28:40.920 --> 00:28:45.200
and tight. Well, last night
at the Forum in Inglewood, Kendrick Lamar

412
00:28:45.440 --> 00:28:49.559
brought out doctor Dre in the city
that he made fame is so the best

413
00:28:49.599 --> 00:28:55.359
we could do is bring our Dre
Day on and certainly a fan favorite did

414
00:28:55.400 --> 00:28:59.039
a lot in his twelve year major
league career with the Dodgers. So here

415
00:28:59.160 --> 00:29:03.519
is our version of bringing out Dre
Day on Dodgers Radio the one and Only

416
00:29:03.640 --> 00:29:07.440
Andre Ethier. Andre, great to
have you back on the show. Do

417
00:29:07.480 --> 00:29:12.200
you feel like this equates to Kendrick
Lamar bringing out Doctor Dre on stage last

418
00:29:12.279 --> 00:29:15.839
night? No, not at all. I don't think you're doing Doctor Dre

419
00:29:17.039 --> 00:29:23.759
any bit of a a bit of
the rep and and accolades that that guy

420
00:29:25.759 --> 00:29:30.279
should be having. Yeah, I
don't think it's it equates very well.

421
00:29:30.319 --> 00:29:36.839
So we'll start off already on it
not great here, Dave, So let's

422
00:29:36.839 --> 00:29:40.559
go. Are you saying I swung
and missed? Well, that's why you're

423
00:29:40.559 --> 00:29:45.160
in the bit. Hey. Speaking
of doctor Dre, you know people always

424
00:29:45.480 --> 00:29:49.319
use that Dre day, Andre Ethier, all that stuff, try to make

425
00:29:49.359 --> 00:29:55.319
that cliche in some ways. But
did you ever consider using doctor Dre as

426
00:29:55.319 --> 00:29:57.599
a walk up song? I think
I did. I think I do remember

427
00:29:57.720 --> 00:30:02.160
using Doctor Andrea as a song.
It might have been early on. I

428
00:30:02.359 --> 00:30:06.720
hears a Snoop Dog Again Doctor Dre
song that I used early on. Those

429
00:30:06.759 --> 00:30:11.680
are probably before your days, before
you were even a Dodger fan or Dodger

430
00:30:11.799 --> 00:30:15.160
faithful back in two thousand and six
and seven and eight. Oh yeah I

431
00:30:15.240 --> 00:30:18.160
was, I was around, but
I wasn't paying attention to your walk up

432
00:30:18.200 --> 00:30:22.000
song. I was paying attention to
Nomar and for Call and Jeff Kent.

433
00:30:22.880 --> 00:30:26.200
Hey, those are a really good
players. I was. I was in

434
00:30:26.240 --> 00:30:29.000
the same I was in the same
boat as you. I was paying attention

435
00:30:29.039 --> 00:30:36.680
to those guys. I was a
a wide eyed pinching myself young, you

436
00:30:36.720 --> 00:30:40.279
know, rookie and early on in
his major league career. Get that she

437
00:30:40.319 --> 00:30:45.319
had to play with guys that I
had just seen years before on the TV.

438
00:30:45.839 --> 00:30:49.000
Andre Ethier is our guest. All
right, Andre, the Dodgers closing

439
00:30:49.039 --> 00:30:53.839
out their series at Course Field today. You've played left field, you've played

440
00:30:53.880 --> 00:31:00.240
center field, you've played right field. What is so challenging about playing that

441
00:31:00.319 --> 00:31:04.839
outfield at Course Field? It's big, that's it. It's big. It's

442
00:31:04.880 --> 00:31:10.519
big. It's bright out there.
It seems to be brighter than a lot

443
00:31:10.519 --> 00:31:14.599
of places. Maybe it's the altitude. Denver on a four game swing,

444
00:31:15.799 --> 00:31:18.920
after a travel day of you know, no day off with that travel day

445
00:31:19.000 --> 00:31:23.119
at the twelve ten start is just
a it's a tough it's a tough road

446
00:31:23.160 --> 00:31:26.599
trip. It's a tough place to
go play four days in a row.

447
00:31:26.680 --> 00:31:30.799
It's a tough place to have a
get away day game, especially at twelve

448
00:31:30.880 --> 00:31:36.319
ten day game. But you know, that's that's kind of you know,

449
00:31:36.400 --> 00:31:40.480
one of those advantages for the Rockies
to have is you know they get to

450
00:31:40.559 --> 00:31:42.880
be there all year or most of
the year and train at that altitude,

451
00:31:42.920 --> 00:31:47.599
and you know that dryness it catches
up to you definitely on that last day,

452
00:31:47.640 --> 00:31:51.839
and you know, your biggest thing
is you're just hoping you're you know,

453
00:31:51.960 --> 00:31:55.559
keeping your players healthy as you as
you're getting out of there. Andre

454
00:31:55.720 --> 00:32:00.599
Ethier had a thirty game hitting streak
back in twenty ten, and unfortunately he

455
00:32:00.720 --> 00:32:06.680
broke his pinky while swinging the bat
in the cage and you were leading the

456
00:32:06.799 --> 00:32:10.519
National League in triple Crown categories,
all three of them. Can you relate

457
00:32:10.599 --> 00:32:15.799
to Mookie Betts breaking his left hand
in a different way obviously being hit by

458
00:32:15.799 --> 00:32:20.839
a pitch? Uh, you know, the feeling taking that much time off,

459
00:32:21.200 --> 00:32:27.319
How is this going to impact Mookie's
season when he returns. I think

460
00:32:27.319 --> 00:32:31.720
it starts and stops that. And
you know, in common of me and

461
00:32:31.799 --> 00:32:38.839
MOOKI and breaking our hands' Mookie's one
heck of a player, and he's a

462
00:32:39.160 --> 00:32:44.720
he's a year long triple Crown guy, not a I guess month and a

463
00:32:44.759 --> 00:32:49.200
half season guy like I was,
and uh, it's tough. You feel

464
00:32:49.240 --> 00:32:52.880
for him, you feel for the
team. I feel like MOOKI if you

465
00:32:52.880 --> 00:32:55.559
could say this, I don't know
if if it's you know, but he's

466
00:32:55.599 --> 00:33:00.680
really come into his place as being
not only major leaguer, but being a

467
00:33:00.759 --> 00:33:07.400
Dodger, you know, superstar,
this guy who is accountable on a nightly

468
00:33:07.480 --> 00:33:09.359
basis and comes up with you know, big hits, big at bats,

469
00:33:09.359 --> 00:33:15.480
big plays. We know the the
journey he's had transitioning to shortstop this year

470
00:33:15.480 --> 00:33:19.319
and this you know, and you
can call it selfless, you can call

471
00:33:19.359 --> 00:33:22.960
it h you know, just you
know that mentality of you know what Dave

472
00:33:23.000 --> 00:33:25.119
in the locker room like say,
next man up, you know, next

473
00:33:25.119 --> 00:33:28.920
guy up, to fill what we
need. We know what we have.

474
00:33:29.039 --> 00:33:30.720
We have great players in here that
are gonna do great things, but we

475
00:33:30.759 --> 00:33:36.799
need guys to always fill, uh, the spots in between when guys get

476
00:33:36.880 --> 00:33:38.440
hurt, when guys aren't struggling.
And you know, Mookie was able to

477
00:33:38.440 --> 00:33:44.559
step up with the position void and
roll right into that from second to short

478
00:33:44.680 --> 00:33:49.839
you know all these different things.
Yeah, I think you're gonna miss more

479
00:33:49.880 --> 00:33:52.519
than just movies that you're missing a
guy who you know it really is,

480
00:33:52.599 --> 00:33:59.119
is like a jack of all trades
at superstar level, and it's gonna be

481
00:33:59.119 --> 00:34:00.759
tough. It really is gonna be
from to come back and just not miss

482
00:34:00.759 --> 00:34:05.559
a beat. Uh, let's just
say six weeks at the best case scenario.

483
00:34:06.240 --> 00:34:09.639
Are you going to be as strong
you know, physically in your legs

484
00:34:09.679 --> 00:34:13.679
and you know, in your rotation, in your swing, in your hands,

485
00:34:14.079 --> 00:34:16.639
all that stuff. Are you to
be literally of staying in there and

486
00:34:16.719 --> 00:34:20.039
trusting the ball is not going to
hit you when it's a you know,

487
00:34:20.079 --> 00:34:22.440
when it's a tough front door slider, you know, stuff like that.

488
00:34:22.519 --> 00:34:25.840
So there's a lot of things going
to go through, But I don't put

489
00:34:27.039 --> 00:34:30.960
any doubt that he will be successful
coming back because the guy's good at everything

490
00:34:30.960 --> 00:34:34.840
he does. Awesome hearing your voice
and sharing your voice with the fans.

491
00:34:34.880 --> 00:34:38.039
And hopefully see you at Dodger Stadium
with the family in the home run seats

492
00:34:38.119 --> 00:34:43.599
soon, I hope. So I'm
looking forward in July. I'll be out

493
00:34:43.599 --> 00:34:46.760
there, uh for sure, and
I'm gonna hit up you know, the

494
00:34:46.800 --> 00:34:52.039

seats. I love sitting in oh hold

495
00:34:52.079 --> 00:34:55.159

get spilled, for sure. I heard

the mound. Veteran leftended thirty three
years old. It is ninth season now

522
00:36:47.599 --> 00:36:51.599
the Big League's pitched a long time
with the Giants. Third season out with

523
00:36:51.639 --> 00:36:54.719
the Rockies three and fourth, a
four to sixty five ERORA. It's making

524
00:36:54.719 --> 00:36:58.840
his ninth start, his twelfth appearance
last time out five and two, third

525

innings, two runs, seven hits, five strikeouts in a win over the

526
00:37:00.960 --> 00:37:05.840
Pirates. He is four and three
with a three to thirteen RA and twenty

527
00:37:05.880 --> 00:37:10.320
career appearances nine starts against the Dodgers. That RA is eighth lowest against the

528
00:37:10.320 --> 00:37:15.519
Dodgers a months active pitchers of fifty
innings or more. His nine starts against

the Dodgers, he's four and three
with a two point fifty eight RRA.

530
00:37:19.039 --> 00:37:22.719
Six of those nine starts have been
quality starts, so he's pitched well against

531
00:37:22.760 --> 00:37:25.400
the Blue He's got a one to
twenty three ERA and six appearances against the

532
00:37:25.400 --> 00:37:30.960
Dodgersons joined the Rockies back in twenty
twenty two. Gavin Stone on the mound

533
00:37:31.000 --> 00:37:36.199
for the Dodgers, making his first
start ever at Coors Field. He is

534
00:37:36.320 --> 00:37:38.599
seven and two with a three to
oh one ERRA. He is having an

535
00:37:38.599 --> 00:37:42.960
all Star season. The twenty five
year old right hander has come up big

536
00:37:43.360 --> 00:37:45.760
second season now with the Dodgers in

last time out seven innings, three
runs, four hits, three strikeouts and

538
00:37:51.000 --> 00:37:54.719
a no decision. Against the Kansas
City Royals and Gavin Stone, as we

539
00:37:54.760 --> 00:37:59.039
mentioned to pitch really well for the
Dodgers, been a mainstay in this rotation

540
00:37:59.400 --> 00:38:04.199
since the beginning of this season.
Gavin Stone, Ty Block, Dodgers Rockies.

541
00:38:04.239 --> 00:38:07.280
We're fifteen minutes away from first pitch
in the series finale from Denver,

542
00:38:07.599 --> 00:38:12.920
Keys to the game. Our next
I'm Tim Kasi's Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.

543
00:38:15.480 --> 00:38:22.320
As we were saying, yes is
Marongo Casino Dodgers on Jack on the

544
00:38:22.360 --> 00:38:28.840
official home of LA Dodgers Baseball,
Dodgers and Rockies. From Dener Gavin Stone,

545
00:38:28.880 --> 00:38:30.119
We're gonna get to his eighth win
of the season. Ty Block,

546
00:38:30.159 --> 00:38:35.199
who was given the Dodgers fits over
the years on the mound for Colorado.

547
00:38:35.280 --> 00:38:38.599
First pitch coming up at twelve Ted
Dodgers fans and Hansher listening and experienced by

548
00:38:38.599 --> 00:38:43.599
downloading the iHeartRadio app and listening in
HD. It's all powered by LA Care

550
00:38:47.519 --> 00:38:52.199
back out to the booth Rick Monday, Tim never guys, Tim, thanks

551
00:38:52.239 --> 00:38:54.920
again. We count you down to
the first pitch today. From cores Field

552
00:38:54.960 --> 00:38:59.760
and Denver just a perfect day for
a ballgame, great day for an afternoon

553
00:38:59.800 --> 00:39:04.400
game here certainly Gavin Stone seven to
two and a three ZH one era.

554
00:39:04.960 --> 00:39:09.079
He'll have the ball today, making
his fourteenth start for the Dodgers. Stone

555
00:39:09.159 --> 00:39:14.079
he's had a pretty good stretch.
He's got a win against the Rockies on

556
00:39:14.119 --> 00:39:17.400
the second of June in LA,
throwing five scoreless innings last Friday against the

557
00:39:17.440 --> 00:39:21.920
Royals and no decision. But Stone, with a seven and two record,

558
00:39:21.920 --> 00:39:24.679
has really stepped up in this season. The opportunity that he's been able to

559
00:39:24.719 --> 00:39:29.559
have with the Dodgers, he's taken
advantage of it. I think today in

560
00:39:29.599 --> 00:39:35.199
particular, the Mile High Stadium is
just about two hundred and sixty feet above

561
00:39:35.440 --> 00:39:38.079
sea level and with the temperature it's
going to be in the low nineties today,

562
00:39:38.480 --> 00:39:42.519
so this is this is a good
day to keep the ball down and

563
00:39:42.599 --> 00:39:46.599
for Gavin Stone, he's had six
ground bowl double plays turned in behind him.

564
00:39:46.639 --> 00:39:50.320
Here's the other thing about Stone,
He's handled the middle part of the

565
00:39:50.360 --> 00:39:54.239
lineups numbers three, four and five
hitters to just a one fifty six average

566
00:39:54.400 --> 00:39:59.639
so far this season. That's the
fifth lowest average against the middle lineup by

567
00:39:59.679 --> 00:40:02.559
any darning pitcher in baseball, Ty
Block, coming off a win over the

568
00:40:02.599 --> 00:40:07.800
Pirates last Saturday, but prior to
that, he'd lost his two previous starts

569
00:40:07.840 --> 00:40:12.320
against the Cardinals and the Reds,
allowing eight runs, eighteen hits, and

570
00:40:12.400 --> 00:40:15.880
ten combined innings. That's in the
ara of seven to twenty. Dodgers looking

571
00:40:15.880 --> 00:40:17.840
for a win on getaway day in
Denver and to try to take three of

572
00:40:17.960 --> 00:40:23.119
four from Colorado before returning home to
take on the Angels tomorrow night. Dodgers

573
00:40:23.239 --> 00:40:28.079
Rockies coming up, Tim all Right, first pitch is next Ty Block on

574
00:40:28.159 --> 00:40:31.400
the mound for the Colorado Rockies,
the left hander going at it against the

575
00:40:31.440 --> 00:40:35.639
Dodgers. Cavin Stone, who has
had an all star first half of the

576
00:40:35.679 --> 00:40:38.840
season, looking to keep it going
in his first time ever pitching a chorus

577
00:40:38.880 --> 00:40:42.880
field. Remember after the game,
David Bassey's got you covered with all the

578
00:40:42.920 --> 00:40:47.840
highlights postgame festivities in Dodger Talk as
well. Dodgers Rockies from Denver is next.

579
00:40:49.480 --> 00:40:53.159
I'm Tim Katsey's Memroco Casino Dodgers on
