00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:07.440
And now your host for Marongo Casino
Dodgers on Deck, Tam Chase. Hell,

2
00:00:07.480 --> 00:00:12.800
Hi everybody, and welcome in to
Morongo Casino Dodgers on Deck. Your

3
00:00:12.800 --> 00:00:17.800
Los Angeles Dodgers thirty nine and twenty
five on this season, first place all

4
00:00:17.839 --> 00:00:21.839
alone atop the NL West. After
salvaging the series in Pittsburgh with a win

5
00:00:21.960 --> 00:00:25.199
last night over the Pirates, the
Dodgers are now in the Bronx for the

6
00:00:25.239 --> 00:00:30.679
start of a huge three game series
against the Yankees. Yoshinobu Yamamoto on the

7
00:00:30.679 --> 00:00:34.200
mound for the Dodgers in this series
opener, first pitch coming up at four

8
00:00:34.240 --> 00:00:38.320
to five. Coming up over the
next hour here on Morongo Casino Dodgers on

9
00:00:38.399 --> 00:00:41.439
Deck. We got a lot to
get to before first pitch. You're gonna

10
00:00:41.479 --> 00:00:44.840
hear from Dodger manager Dave Roberts,
David Vest. We'll check in with us

11
00:00:44.960 --> 00:00:47.679
throughout the show, but in forty
five minutes he will sit down one on

12
00:00:47.679 --> 00:00:52.079
one with Mookie Betts. Shortly we'll
hear from Kirsten Watson. We'll get your

13
00:00:52.119 --> 00:00:55.520
O Toddy and rewind the latest on
the Dodgers injury front, and in just

14
00:00:55.560 --> 00:00:58.759
a few minutes we'll head out to
the Galpin Motors broadcast booth and check in

15
00:00:58.759 --> 00:01:02.759
with Rick Monday and even Nelson Well. Last night in Pittsburgh, the Dodgers

16
00:01:03.119 --> 00:01:07.640
got out their offensive funk is they
pounded the Pirates. Yeah. A quick

17
00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:11.239
start for the Dodgers. Top half
of the first inning, Mookie met Mookie

18
00:01:11.239 --> 00:01:14.519
Betts gets on base, Shoel Tani
gets on base. Third bat of the

19
00:01:14.560 --> 00:01:18.000
game, Freddy Freeman bets off of
second base, so Tony, not being

20
00:01:18.040 --> 00:01:21.000
held at first, has a big
lead. Fitch to Freddie. He drills

21
00:01:21.040 --> 00:01:23.200
one deep to right field. In
is bat. It has gone a three

22
00:01:23.319 --> 00:01:29.359
run shot for Freddie Freeman and the
Dodgers jump all over Bailey Falter here on

23
00:01:29.439 --> 00:01:34.879
the top of the first home run
number eight for Freeman and the Dodgers on

24
00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:38.879
the board. First three nothing,
three nothing, Dodgers lead. Just like

25
00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:42.560
that, Miguel Rojas added an RBI
singles. The Dodgers were rough four to

26
00:01:42.599 --> 00:01:46.920
nothing. Walker Buehler got the starts
and it was a rough one for him.

27
00:01:46.920 --> 00:01:49.519
Didn't get a lot of help on
defense, a couple of airs behind

28
00:01:49.560 --> 00:01:52.120
him. Throwing theirs from the left
side of the infield. He gave up

29
00:01:52.159 --> 00:01:55.239
a run in the second and then
three more in the third, Naked Zales

30
00:01:55.239 --> 00:01:57.879
the two run home run, as
that tied the game at four. Walker

31
00:01:57.959 --> 00:02:01.239
Bueller would go just three innings,
four runs, three strikeouts, seventy eight

32
00:02:01.239 --> 00:02:06.079
pitches before the Dodgers bullpen took over
as far as the offense was concerned.

33
00:02:06.079 --> 00:02:08.840
Tied four to four of the fifth, when tay Oscar untied it, Walter

34
00:02:09.080 --> 00:02:12.919
turns and delivers the one zero pitch, and this one is hitting the air

35
00:02:13.120 --> 00:02:15.159
right field deep, heading back toward
the wall. It goes. It has

36
00:02:15.240 --> 00:02:21.080
gone a home run. It's an
opposite field homer for Taoscar Hernandez, his

37
00:02:21.280 --> 00:02:24.599
thirteenth of the season, and the
Dodgers take a five to four lead.

38
00:02:24.879 --> 00:02:29.520
Opposite away home run for tay Oscar. Dodgers take a five to four lead,

39
00:02:29.719 --> 00:02:32.360
and they would bust it wide open
in that fifth and they'd score six

40
00:02:32.439 --> 00:02:37.360
runs total. Key k Hernandez an
RBI double he scored on a catcher's throwing

41
00:02:37.400 --> 00:02:39.400
there, and then Mookie Betts a
three run home run, his tenth of

42
00:02:39.400 --> 00:02:43.439
the year, fourner and ten feet
to center field, as the Dodgers took

43
00:02:43.439 --> 00:02:46.639
a ten to four lead. They
tacked on one more in this six on

44
00:02:46.680 --> 00:02:50.960
a Key k Hernandez RBI single.
The Dodgers would go on and win by

45
00:02:50.960 --> 00:02:53.879
a final of eleven to seven.
Michael Grove gets the win in relief.

46
00:02:53.960 --> 00:02:58.680
He pitched two solid innings out of
the bullpen. Every Dodger starter had a

47
00:02:58.719 --> 00:03:01.039
base hit last night. They scored
a eleven runs on fourteen hits, three

48
00:03:01.080 --> 00:03:05.840
home runs, two three run shots
for Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman, a

49
00:03:05.879 --> 00:03:07.919
pease toa Oskar. Hernandez was three
for five, a single, a double,

50
00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:10.560
a home run. He was a
triple shy of hitting for the cycle.

51
00:03:10.599 --> 00:03:15.199
As the Dodgers get the final game
in Pittsburgh, they avoid being getting

52
00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:19.439
swept as they are now thirty nine
and twenty five on this season and now

53
00:03:19.800 --> 00:03:24.680
a three game weekend series none bigger
than this in the Bronx Yankee Stadium Tonight,

54
00:03:24.840 --> 00:03:29.840
Tomorrow and Sunday Night Baseball, Yoshinobu
Yamamoto gets the start tonight in the

55
00:03:29.879 --> 00:03:32.039
series opener and with more, Let's
head out to the Gallpin Motors broadcast with

56
00:03:32.120 --> 00:03:36.560
on this Friday afternoon, as we
welcome in Rick Monday and Steven Nelson,

57
00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:40.599
Guys, thank you. Tim countdown
in the Boogie Down continues before game one

58
00:03:40.599 --> 00:03:46.479
of the three game series for the
Dodgers against the Major League leading New York

59
00:03:46.599 --> 00:03:51.000
Yankees. It's been a minute since
the Dodgers have visited the Bronx, Rick

60
00:03:51.039 --> 00:03:54.719
Monday, have you ever played a
big game for the Dodgers against the Yankees

61
00:03:54.840 --> 00:04:00.439
or you know, perhaps like six
of them in a series. It could

62
00:04:00.479 --> 00:04:02.680
be, could be in nineteen eighty
one that was at the old Ballpark.

63
00:04:02.719 --> 00:04:05.080
But you start to look at these
two franchises. You know, one thing

64
00:04:05.080 --> 00:04:09.639
you don't do. You cannot walk
into a store and by tradition, and

65
00:04:09.759 --> 00:04:12.599
both the Yankees and the Dodgers have
been able to build that tradition over the

66
00:04:12.639 --> 00:04:15.000
years. And if you look at
these two story franchises, I mean,

67
00:04:15.160 --> 00:04:18.720
they have not met in a World
Series since nineteen eighty one, but they

68
00:04:18.720 --> 00:04:24.800
have met in World Series eleven different
times in their history. And all we

69
00:04:24.879 --> 00:04:27.639
had to do is that I know, you were on the field and talk

70
00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:30.879
to a lot of people. This
had all the makings pre game of what

71
00:04:30.920 --> 00:04:35.040
you would see in a World Series
with people, masses of media on the

72
00:04:35.079 --> 00:04:39.720
field. Yeah. What Rick is
trying to say is there are a lot

73
00:04:39.759 --> 00:04:43.560
of people standing around doing nothing just
to be here because they know how big

74
00:04:43.639 --> 00:04:46.279
a series that this is, and
for the Dodgers in particular, they're coming

75
00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:50.600
off a series loss in Pittsburgh.
They did stiff arm a sweep with they

76
00:04:50.639 --> 00:04:56.920
win yesterday, and I thought it
was important for Dave Roberts and the team

77
00:04:57.040 --> 00:05:00.800
as they have to acknowledge that while
this is is just a three game series

78
00:05:00.879 --> 00:05:05.079
in June, this is bigger than
them and bigger than the Yankees. This

79
00:05:05.160 --> 00:05:09.120
is one of those series that is
important for the sport of baseball, and

80
00:05:09.199 --> 00:05:11.879
I think it's a good point.
I think also Steven, that it may

81
00:05:11.920 --> 00:05:15.920
be magnified a little bit more because
the Dodgers had not played particularly well,

82
00:05:15.040 --> 00:05:19.399
including yesterday, even though or last
night when they wonted. I mean it

83
00:05:19.480 --> 00:05:24.000
was eleven to seven was the final. They had fourteen hits, they gave

84
00:05:24.079 --> 00:05:27.600
up fourteen hits. Walker Bueler only
went three innings in that game. The

85
00:05:27.639 --> 00:05:31.279
Dodgers also committed three errors in that
game. So there's a world of improvement.

86
00:05:31.639 --> 00:05:36.240
And I mentioned that because this Dodger
ball club is more than just capable

87
00:05:36.360 --> 00:05:43.759
of playing better baseball, they have
expectations themselves of doing exactly that last question

88
00:05:43.800 --> 00:05:46.680
before we step aside mode, this
is a collection of All Stars. There's

89
00:05:46.720 --> 00:05:50.360
a collection of MVPs as well.
Of course, you know the trio that

90
00:05:50.399 --> 00:05:55.800
the Dodgers have, but Aaron Judge
as an MVP award, John Carlos Stanton

91
00:05:55.920 --> 00:05:59.480
has won. Juan Soto, who
is not in the starting lineup tonight,

92
00:06:00.120 --> 00:06:03.920
he figures to be someone who could
win one someday. Which of the All

93
00:06:03.959 --> 00:06:09.279
Stars do you feel is the most
important in terms of the outcome of this

94
00:06:09.399 --> 00:06:13.720
series? I think trying to keep
the All Stars on the other side quiet.

95
00:06:14.120 --> 00:06:16.000
That may be difficult to do because
if you look at the Yankees,

96
00:06:16.319 --> 00:06:20.959
they've won twenty of the last twenty
five, they've won eight in a row.

97
00:06:21.079 --> 00:06:25.519
They score a lot of runs,
as do the Dodgers. The Dodgers

98
00:06:25.560 --> 00:06:30.680
also slightly above the Yankees as far
as team batting average. But this is

99
00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:34.800
basically an ad agency's dream of just
looking at these two ball clubs with all

100
00:06:34.800 --> 00:06:40.560
the faces. Here's the other part
too, similarities. Both lineups are top

101
00:06:40.639 --> 00:06:45.519
heavy with the stars that you're mentioning
one through four in the lineup. The

102
00:06:45.639 --> 00:06:50.680
question may be what's the outcome depending
from six through nine In either one of

103
00:06:50.680 --> 00:06:55.959
these lineups, the Dodgers will not
see Derek Cole. They will not see

104
00:06:56.000 --> 00:07:00.439
Carlos Rodin. They will see some
good pitchers in this series, a Cody

105
00:07:00.480 --> 00:07:04.959
Potit, former UCLA Bruin. We'll
start tonight against Yoshinobu Yamamotol, his first

106
00:07:05.079 --> 00:07:09.279
start in New York. When we
check back in TC, we'll get into

107
00:07:09.319 --> 00:07:13.399
Yama Motors turn against the New York
Yankees. Sounds good, appreciated, guys,

108
00:07:13.399 --> 00:07:15.240
As we count you down to first
pitch, Dodger fans, get your

manager Dave Roberts. We'll check in with

112
00:07:29.680 --> 00:07:32.399
David Veasse, who goes one on
one with Mookie Betch. We'll dive deeper

113
00:07:32.639 --> 00:07:36.600
into this pitching matchup. But I'm
next. You're O TAWNI rewind and we'll

114
00:07:36.680 --> 00:07:41.959
visit with Kirsten Watson from Sports and
at LA. It's a big one Friday

115
00:07:42.079 --> 00:07:46.439
Night from the Bronx, Dodgers Yankees. I'm Tim Kasis, Los Angeles Dodgers

Audio Network is Loronzo Casino, Dodgers
on Dodgers on deck y'all on the official

117
00:07:55.959 --> 00:08:03.040
home of La Dodgers Baseball. It's
the Dodgers and the Yankees from the Yankee

118
00:08:03.160 --> 00:08:09.240
Stadium in the Bronx. Dodgers lost
two to three in Pittsburgh to start this

119
00:08:09.439 --> 00:08:13.800
road trip, but they won the
finale last night. Yoshinobo, you have

120
00:08:13.839 --> 00:08:16.279
a moto against Cody Petite, first
pitcher, Yankee Stadium, coming up at

121
00:08:16.279 --> 00:08:24.720
four O five. This is the
Otani three Why well? Last night in

122
00:08:24.759 --> 00:08:28.560
the win over the Pirates, Smookie
Bens and Freddie Freeman each hit three run

123
00:08:28.600 --> 00:08:33.399
home runs. Shoey Otani was one
for six at a base hit in the

124
00:08:33.480 --> 00:08:35.919
first inning, but failed to reach
base after that, struck out three times,

125
00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:41.759
still hitting though three eighteen on this
season. The Otani Rewind brought to

the Bronx. You can feel the buzz

130
00:08:58.600 --> 00:09:03.120
from South California. Kresten. It's
Yankees Dodgers, always fun, but kind

131
00:09:03.120 --> 00:09:07.519
of feels like the Dodgers are the
underdog in this. Yeah. No,

132
00:09:07.600 --> 00:09:13.960
it's a weird one right now,
especially because the Yankees are playing incredible baseball

133
00:09:13.039 --> 00:09:16.039
right now and now they are going
to be without jan Soto tonight. But

134
00:09:16.480 --> 00:09:20.120
manager Aaron Boone was saying that it
doesn't seem likely, but there is a

135
00:09:20.200 --> 00:09:24.440
chance in when she could be available
off the bench, and he does expect

136
00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:28.159
him to see him in some capacity
in this series. But when it comes

137
00:09:28.200 --> 00:09:33.519
to today, there is definitely there's
I wouldn't say you feel it like from

138
00:09:33.559 --> 00:09:37.120
the Dodger standpoint. Those guys they
know what they need to do. They

139
00:09:37.200 --> 00:09:39.679
need to you know, they've been
playing decent baseball, but they know that

140
00:09:39.720 --> 00:09:43.240
they can play better. The defense
yesterday was not very pretty. Dave Roberts

141
00:09:43.279 --> 00:09:46.840
talked about that, but the offense
has kind of gotten back on track and

142
00:09:48.159 --> 00:09:50.440
hopefully we can get some really solid
pitching from Yoshinobu. There should be a

143
00:09:50.440 --> 00:09:54.039
fun one for him today and just
leaning into this atmosphere, but it is

144
00:09:54.039 --> 00:10:01.639
that weird dynamic that technically the Yankees
are the better team. Technically they're the

145
00:10:01.639 --> 00:10:05.120
best hum in baseball right now.
And even though we are number one in

146
00:10:05.159 --> 00:10:09.159
the West, technically they're number one
overall. So that should be an interesting

147
00:10:09.159 --> 00:10:11.960
one. Yeah, no doubt.

for the Yankees. Juan Soto a
little banged up and not playing tonight.

152
00:10:26.200 --> 00:10:28.960
Yeah, not in the lineup tonight. He wasn't place on the il,

153
00:10:28.000 --> 00:10:31.399
which I think is a good sign. He is a bit. He's on

154
00:10:31.440 --> 00:10:33.799
the bench, He's going to be
available off the bench. But when Aaron

155
00:10:33.840 --> 00:10:39.639
Boone was addressing the media earlier,
he was saying that he underwent some imaging

156
00:10:39.720 --> 00:10:43.120
and an MRI, so it's just
showing some inflammation and his forearm. They

157
00:10:43.200 --> 00:10:48.879
scanned the elbow. No structural damage, so he's not even having an injection

158
00:10:48.000 --> 00:10:52.759
or anything. He's just going to
take some anti inflammatories and hopefully that will

159
00:10:52.799 --> 00:10:56.440
help. He didn't necessarily go into
specifics as to just like what exact where,

160
00:10:56.679 --> 00:11:00.960
exactly where the injury things like that, but he did say he was

161
00:11:01.000 --> 00:11:03.000
asked if he's going to be available
in this series, and he did say

162
00:11:03.039 --> 00:11:07.960
that he does expect him in some
capacity. He said that he does believe

163
00:11:07.000 --> 00:11:11.399
that he could be available off the
bench, whether that's a pinch hit situation,

164
00:11:13.320 --> 00:11:16.600
it doesn't seem like in The good
news is he has been playing kind

165
00:11:16.600 --> 00:11:18.960
of through this, you know,
as much as it started bothering him.

166
00:11:20.320 --> 00:11:24.279
The fact that he's been playing,
the fact that he is not is not

167
00:11:24.320 --> 00:11:28.360
going to be an il stint at
this point. So they feel good about

168
00:11:28.399 --> 00:11:31.559
that. From the Dodgers standpoint,
though, that does mean that they dodged

169
00:11:31.559 --> 00:11:35.200
a bullet because he has been playing
very very well. So if they only

170
00:11:35.240 --> 00:11:37.840
have to see him in a limited
capacity, I think that could be a

171
00:11:37.919 --> 00:11:39.759
very good thing. I have no
doubt about it. Less Wan Soda the

172
00:11:39.799 --> 00:11:43.759
better still the coveer on Moroco Casino, Dodgers on deck. We appreciated curious,

173

180
00:12:18.879 --> 00:12:22.639
Yankees from the Bronx start of a
three game weekend set. First pitch at

181
00:12:22.679 --> 00:12:30.840
four oh five. It's the LA
Dodgers Injury Report, presented by UCLA Health,

182
00:12:30.840 --> 00:12:33.039
the official medical partner of the Los
Angeles Dodgers. Max Munsey on the

183
00:12:33.039 --> 00:12:37.759
IL, Joe Kelly, Ryan Brazier, Bobby Miller's in Oklahoma City. That

184
00:12:37.840 --> 00:12:41.000
is certainly good news, as is
Kyle Hurt, who is making his way

185
00:12:41.039 --> 00:12:46.240
back from shoulder inflammation. Clayton Kershaw
is throwing today to hitters in Rancho Cucamunga.

186
00:12:46.399 --> 00:12:48.840
Not pitch in the game, won't
be out there in front of fans,

187
00:12:48.000 --> 00:12:52.120
but is there well before the game
today, throwing a sim game to

188
00:12:52.240 --> 00:12:54.960
hitters in Rancho Cucamunga. All right, let's head back out to the Bronx

189
00:12:56.080 --> 00:13:01.480
Yankee Stadium. Here from the Dodger
Skipper questions for Dave, Dave, can

190
00:13:01.519 --> 00:13:05.679
you just describe Dave? Can you
talk about the pressure in the dugout with

191
00:13:05.879 --> 00:13:09.279
Dave Roberts, Dave? With this
matchup, what are you looking forward to

192
00:13:09.399 --> 00:13:13.519
most? Just about Yankees Dodger.
I know we talked about two historic franchises,

193
00:13:13.559 --> 00:13:16.919
but with the game here today,
what are you looking forward to most?

194
00:13:16.240 --> 00:13:20.159
You know, this is historic,
it really is. It's been a

195
00:13:20.159 --> 00:13:26.759
while since I've been back here to
Yankee Stadium, and uh, it's about

196
00:13:26.879 --> 00:13:30.679
stars, and uh, you know, I just want to I'm excited to

197
00:13:30.679 --> 00:13:35.480
see the stars show out, and
I know that the Dodger fans are going

198
00:13:35.559 --> 00:13:37.600
to show out too. But it's
good. I'm excited for our guys to

199
00:13:37.600 --> 00:13:41.320
play against the Yankees, and they're
playing the best baseball in all of Major

200
00:13:41.360 --> 00:13:43.919
League Baseball right now, so it's
a good It'll be a good series.

201
00:13:45.039 --> 00:13:48.240
With Yoshiobu on the mound, what
do you like about this matchup for him?

202
00:13:48.320 --> 00:13:50.360
And kind of how he can be
find different ways to get to their

203
00:13:50.360 --> 00:13:56.159
lineup. It's gonna be a good
test for him. There's a there's a

204
00:13:56.200 --> 00:14:00.799
balance of left handed hitters, right
hand hitters, you know, guys that

205
00:14:00.879 --> 00:14:05.440
control the strike zone. You know, Judge is swinging the bat so well

206
00:14:05.519 --> 00:14:11.399
right now, you know we dodged
a bullet with Soto. But for do

207
00:14:11.519 --> 00:14:15.399
go. You know, Alex is
familiar. I know he likes playing against

208
00:14:15.399 --> 00:14:18.159
his old ball club. So I
think just kind of figuring out way to

209
00:14:18.159 --> 00:14:20.759
attack these guys. But getting strike
one is going to be important. Do

210
00:14:20.799 --> 00:14:24.639
you think there's a test for him
just with the atmosphere too, for Yoshi

211
00:14:26.279 --> 00:14:28.600
in this kind of environment for the
first time, I don't think so.

212
00:14:28.720 --> 00:14:33.919
I think that. I think Yoshinobu
kind of feasts on on you know,

213
00:14:33.919 --> 00:14:39.480
a lot of eyeballs the moment,
and he's pitching a lot of big games

214
00:14:39.480 --> 00:14:43.759
in his career and this is just
going to be another experience for him.

215
00:14:43.960 --> 00:14:46.919
But I don't I know for sure
that this moment, the stage won't be

216
00:14:46.960 --> 00:14:52.679
too big for him. I hope. So now you know what, But

217
00:14:52.799 --> 00:14:56.240
for me to be fair, it
was in the old Yankee Stadium, the

218
00:14:56.320 --> 00:15:01.360
original Yankee Stadium. But yeah,
Yankee fans, uh I have we have

219
00:15:01.399 --> 00:15:05.399
a great relationship, all right.
That's Dave Roberts, the dugout. I'm

220
00:15:05.399 --> 00:15:09.720
not sure that's the case, seeing
he was part of the Red Sox team

221
00:15:09.759 --> 00:15:13.320
that beat the Yankees in that comeback
series, and of course that stolen base

222
00:15:13.360 --> 00:15:16.720
that nobody will ever forget in Boston. Brought you by Service Titan. Dave

223
00:15:16.759 --> 00:15:20.159

235
00:16:15.399 --> 00:16:21.559
who they are. This is Dodger
insider David all Right, David, you

236
00:16:21.639 --> 00:16:23.879
traveled the Dodgers a long time and
you guys were just in New York as

237
00:16:23.919 --> 00:16:27.360
far as the team taking on the
Mets two weeks ago, but going north

238
00:16:27.360 --> 00:16:32.480
at the Bronx Yankee Stadium, it's
a different animal, right, Yeah.

239
00:16:32.519 --> 00:16:36.200
Only the third time since I've been
traveling with the team that they have come

240
00:16:36.240 --> 00:16:40.840
back to Yankee Stadium. The first
time was twenty thirteen, and the storyline

241
00:16:40.879 --> 00:16:45.559
then Tim was Yaciel Puig, who
was on his meteoric rise at that point

242
00:16:45.600 --> 00:16:49.799
in time in Major League Baseball.
He was the story that August in twenty

243
00:16:49.879 --> 00:16:55.759
thirteen, and then the Dodgers came
back in twenty sixteen, and now here

244
00:16:55.799 --> 00:17:00.960
they are another headliner type of series
with them being back in the Bronx.

245
00:17:03.039 --> 00:17:07.799
On the concourse right now, I
walk through some of the concession stands and

246
00:17:07.000 --> 00:17:12.319
Yankee Stadium is selling T shirts with
both Otani and Aaron Judge on it,

247
00:17:12.799 --> 00:17:19.680
Baseballs with both Aaron Judge and Otani
on it, frame memorabilia pictures of Otani

248
00:17:19.799 --> 00:17:25.079
and Aaron Judge on it. So
that is how they're selling this series to

249
00:17:25.119 --> 00:17:30.759
their fan base. It's a home
run fiesta between show Hey Otani and Aaron

250
00:17:30.839 --> 00:17:33.680
Judge and I gotta tell you tim
on the field before the game for both

251
00:17:33.799 --> 00:17:40.359
teams batting practice, it was playoff
like atmosphere and walking on the concourse,

252
00:17:40.880 --> 00:17:44.160
same thing. A lot of Dodger
fans, a lot of Yankee fans,

253
00:17:44.200 --> 00:17:48.720
and it had that playoff buzz on
the concourse. David is driven by Ford

254
00:17:48.839 --> 00:17:52.000

Series built Ford. Dodgers won last night,

257
00:18:00.799 --> 00:18:04.160
David. They scored eleven runs,
fourteen hits, three home runs.

258
00:18:04.720 --> 00:18:10.240
They win the game, but they
weren't happy afterwards. They were not happy.

259
00:18:10.359 --> 00:18:15.960
Walker Buehler was not happy after being
taken out after only three innings and

260
00:18:15.000 --> 00:18:19.839
giving up a game tying three run
home run. Evan Phillips was not happy

261
00:18:19.920 --> 00:18:25.759
giving up a three run home run
and throwing thirty pitches. Dave Roberts said,

262
00:18:26.039 --> 00:18:30.400
it was the worst play defensive game
of the season. Miguel Vargas was

263
00:18:30.440 --> 00:18:34.640
not happy with the place he made
in left field. Mookie Beck certainly was

264
00:18:34.680 --> 00:18:41.079
not happy or celebrating his home run. He was more lamenting the two heirs

265
00:18:41.119 --> 00:18:45.640
and one third misplay that he did
not make. So it was a not

266
00:18:45.759 --> 00:18:49.960
a great trip to PNC Park for
the Dodgers after losing two out of three

267
00:18:51.400 --> 00:18:55.559
and being in the clubhouse after the
game last night, Tim, That's the

268
00:18:55.599 --> 00:19:00.400
feedback I got. It was not
a vibe of a winning clubhouse after a

269
00:19:00.480 --> 00:19:04.240
game. It was more of the
vibe we just lost a series. And

270
00:19:06.039 --> 00:19:10.240
certainly you have to applaud the Dodgers
for holding themselves to a higher standard.

271
00:19:10.240 --> 00:19:15.200
But I know they're happy to turn
the page out of Pittsburgh and be part

272
00:19:15.279 --> 00:19:18.279
of a huge series here at Yankee
Stadium, no doubt about that. All

273
00:19:18.319 --> 00:19:22.039
Right, daved time nine to pick
the ponies with the Dodger Derby. We're

274

is in it sees the Gray.

277
00:19:33.519 --> 00:19:37.240
The Preakness winner is in it.
No potential triple crowd winner because they have

278
00:19:37.480 --> 00:19:40.920
split the first two races. Who
do you like, DV? In those

279
00:19:40.920 --> 00:19:44.960
ten horses? Well, I appreciate

00:20:56.240 --> 00:21:03.680
Magical presented by Hawfey Hot Times.
We go back to June second last year.

297
00:21:03.799 --> 00:21:07.160
Remember that weekend series the Yankees came
to Dodgers Stadium, Aaron Judge hit,

298
00:21:07.200 --> 00:21:11.039
his toe got hurt for almost the
rest of the year. Well,

299

the game on June's second, the
Dodgers scored six runs in the first inning

300
00:21:15.160 --> 00:21:18.720
off Luis Severino, Mookie Bets,
god all started. Severino delivers and there's

301
00:21:18.759 --> 00:21:25.200
a line drive deep to left and
Mookie Betts with his forty first for careear

302
00:21:25.319 --> 00:21:30.480
leadoff Paul Grond Wasting no time.
The Dodgers take a one to nothing lead

303
00:21:32.039 --> 00:21:36.279
for Bets his fourteenth home run of
the season. He's knocked in thirty four

304
00:21:36.599 --> 00:21:41.119
and when the Dodgers score first.
This year, they're twenty three and thirteen

305
00:21:41.759 --> 00:21:45.920
one nothing God. Now the Dodgers
will score six runs in that first inning

306
00:21:45.960 --> 00:21:49.599
and off Severino on their way to
an eight four victory over the Yankees.

321
00:22:49.640 --> 00:22:57.119
Here's La Dodgers broadcastre and World Series
champion Dodger Rick Monday. Always special

322
00:22:57.160 --> 00:23:00.960
to be a Yankee stadium when it's
Dodgers Yankees, even more special to be

323
00:23:02.079 --> 00:23:06.279
here with Rick Monday, who has
his nineteen eighty one World Series ring on

324
00:23:06.400 --> 00:23:10.960
wherever he goes. Yeah. I
got a few looks coming through the hallways

325
00:23:11.000 --> 00:23:15.119
today and I just made sure that
they saw it. A lot of them

326
00:23:15.200 --> 00:23:18.599
wearing seventy seven and seventy eight rings. However, they made sure that I

327
00:23:18.640 --> 00:23:22.119
saw those. I don't remember those
World Series Rick, Yeah. And you

328
00:23:22.119 --> 00:23:26.480
know what, we were talking along
with the three of us and along with

329
00:23:26.519 --> 00:23:30.400
the Stephen Nelson about the fact on
the field you just came up from being

330
00:23:30.440 --> 00:23:33.720
on the field asself. This is
kind of a playoff atmosphere, and this

331
00:23:33.799 --> 00:23:38.039
is a considerable period of time before
the first bitch is made into nice ballgame.

332
00:23:38.079 --> 00:23:41.680
But I've always said, you get
the Dodgers and the Yankees together,

333
00:23:41.680 --> 00:23:44.720
I don't care what sport it is, could be Tidley Week's contest, and

334
00:23:44.759 --> 00:23:49.480
I think people are going to really
pay attention. And this is like playoff

335
00:23:49.480 --> 00:23:53.720
atmosphere coming into it. And for
the Yankees, I mean, they've created

336
00:23:53.759 --> 00:24:00.440
their own playoff atmosphere by coming in
with ann incredibly terrific forty five nineteen record.

337
00:24:00.880 --> 00:24:07.000
And for the Dodgers, hopefully they're
on an upswing after having dropped two

338
00:24:07.039 --> 00:24:11.079
out of three to the Pittsburgh Pirates
and they just completed the open of this

339
00:24:11.279 --> 00:24:15.039
a six game road trip. It
feels like that's why this series is so

340
00:24:15.200 --> 00:24:18.599
anticipated, because the Yankees are one
of, if not the best team in

341
00:24:18.599 --> 00:24:22.759
the American League, while the Dodgers
are one of the best teams in the

342
00:24:22.839 --> 00:24:26.799
National League. These are not just
also rans in twenty twenty four. No,

343
00:24:26.920 --> 00:24:30.359
And I think the other marquee value
is quite frankly, is that what

344
00:24:30.759 --> 00:24:34.319
players have done if you consider combining
both of these teams. I mean,

345
00:24:34.359 --> 00:24:40.960
there's the billboard atmosphere. If you
look at Aaron Judge, you look at

346
00:24:41.200 --> 00:24:45.759
Sho o'tani, you look at Gimcarlo
Stanton in what has done. We're not

347
00:24:45.799 --> 00:24:49.640
going to be seeing Soto at the
start of this game. A little strange.

348
00:24:49.680 --> 00:24:52.680
He says he was taken out of
yesterday's game and had the rain delay

349
00:24:53.359 --> 00:24:57.039
here and he came out said there
were soreness in the left fore arm.

350
00:24:57.119 --> 00:25:03.200
But the odd comment was after the
game it does not bother him to throw,

351
00:25:03.400 --> 00:25:06.599
does not bother him to swing the
bat. It's just a little bit

352
00:25:06.599 --> 00:25:08.359
of soreness. And I know they
did imaging today. He's not in the

353
00:25:08.359 --> 00:25:12.440
starting lineup, but there's plenty of
billboard atmosphere to come around, including with

354
00:25:12.519 --> 00:25:18.200
the Dodgers Freeman and Benson O'tani.
So yeah, this is this is a

355
00:25:18.200 --> 00:25:22.799
big stage with bright lights. Rick, I'm not sure speaking of the headliners.

356
00:25:22.880 --> 00:25:26.079
If you are aware of the fact
that at the Yankees team story here,

357
00:25:26.119 --> 00:25:30.799
when you walk into the main concourse, they are selling a dual bobblehead

358
00:25:30.880 --> 00:25:37.400
of show Hey Otani and Aaron Judge
for the low price of one nine would

359
00:25:37.440 --> 00:25:41.279
you like me to get you on, Well, I add to your collection

360
00:25:41.400 --> 00:25:45.799
as well. That's not a bad
deal quite frankly. I mean we saw

361
00:25:45.839 --> 00:25:49.119
the prices that were put up immediately
on the show Hey Otani. The first

362
00:25:49.680 --> 00:25:53.480
of a few that'll have this year
at Dodger Stadium. We saw within an

363
00:25:53.480 --> 00:25:59.839
hour of what some of those posts
were close to five thousand dollars on one.

364
00:26:00.079 --> 00:26:03.680
It was supposed very early. So
yeah, it's one of those things.

365
00:26:03.759 --> 00:26:04.519
Hey. By the way, I
want to follow up on something we

366
00:26:04.519 --> 00:26:07.920
were talking about yesterday, and that
was, you know, yesterday was the

367
00:26:07.920 --> 00:26:14.440
anniversary in nineteen thirty nine and that
Carl Stoles had the first Little league.

368
00:26:14.480 --> 00:26:19.799
He organized Little League Baseball to teach
sportsmanship and teamwork and everything else. There

369
00:26:19.839 --> 00:26:25.720
was an antasty conversation that we had
about travel ball and going around and concentrating

370
00:26:25.720 --> 00:26:29.400
only one sport, and I said, well, I thought it could be

371
00:26:29.440 --> 00:26:32.880
burnout in some instances, and I've
kind of witnessed it here and there.

372
00:26:33.160 --> 00:26:38.920
Antesty conversation point I'm getting to with
Bryce Harper today on MLB. The Phillies

373
00:26:38.920 --> 00:26:44.759
are in London ready to play that
series beginning tomorrow with the New York Mets.

374
00:26:44.920 --> 00:26:48.119
He was asked about that same question
about travel ball. Then he said,

375
00:26:48.160 --> 00:26:49.880
look, growing up, he started
in the little league, but he

376
00:26:49.920 --> 00:26:56.039
said he played baseball obviously basketball and
football. Then he says, look,

377
00:26:56.160 --> 00:27:00.240
I felt that the motor skills developed
much better in being able to play a

378
00:27:00.279 --> 00:27:03.839
few different sports is growing up.
So it's just kind of a follow up

379
00:27:03.839 --> 00:27:07.720
in a conversation we had yesterday.
Yeah, and obviously Bryce Harper was a

380
00:27:07.720 --> 00:27:11.200
heralded high school player coming out of
Las Vegas. He knows it better than

381
00:27:11.240 --> 00:27:12.559
most. Yeah, and he did
play travel ball, but he said he

382
00:27:12.640 --> 00:27:18.440
was not just concentrating strictly on baseball
at that particular time in high school.

383
00:27:18.480 --> 00:27:25.119
And again, you know, I
would recommend if the young person has interested

384
00:27:25.200 --> 00:27:29.119
other sports, play them. Yeah, no doubt, great advice. Rick

385
00:27:29.880 --> 00:27:33.920
Aaron Judge show, Hey o Tani
center stage here at Yankee Stadium with David

386
00:27:34.039 --> 00:27:37.319
Besse. I don't know about that, just the opening act right here with

387
00:27:37.440 --> 00:27:41.599
Rick Mundane and the closing act on
the post game Dodger Talk. Thanks a

388
00:27:41.599 --> 00:27:44.240
lot, Rick. We'll check in
with you and Steven Nelson a little bit

389
00:27:44.319 --> 00:27:47.119
later. Should that'd be five bucks
for that plug? Okay, sounds good.

390
00:27:47.160 --> 00:27:49.480
I'll get you that bobblehead or at
least an arm of the bobblehead,

397
00:28:07.960 --> 00:28:11.319

But I'm next to go high and tight

398
00:28:11.440 --> 00:28:15.200
with Mookie Betts leading up to Dodgers
and Yankees. What a star studded weekend

399
00:28:15.480 --> 00:28:22.400
in the Bronx. I'm Tim Kass, Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network. Well,

400
00:28:22.519 --> 00:28:29.680
this is Morongo Casino Dodgers hunting on
your home for LA Dodgers Baseball.

401
00:28:30.359 --> 00:28:34.079
It's a Dodgers and Yankees Yoshinoba Yamamono
Cody Petite. The pitching matchup Dodgers Baseball

00:28:34.160 --> 00:28:37.599
is presented by Children's Hospital LA.

doctor at CHLA dot org. David and

405
00:28:47.799 --> 00:28:52.680
now what will likely be vast fielding
insults from a Dodger player. It's an

406
00:28:52.680 --> 00:28:57.039
engagement of endearment is high and tight. Mookie Bets is no stranger to the

407
00:28:57.039 --> 00:29:02.240
concrete jungles of New York where Yankee
Stadium. Dodgers here for the first time

408
00:29:02.319 --> 00:29:07.279
since twenty sixteen, Mookie Bets and
a Dodger uniform at Yankee Stadium for the

409
00:29:07.319 --> 00:29:11.359
first time. I know everybody's excited
about this series, but how do you

410
00:29:11.400 --> 00:29:15.440
feel about it, knowing that you're
in this uniform for the first time in

411
00:29:15.480 --> 00:29:18.440
this stadium. I mean, I
feel good about it. I mean I

412
00:29:18.480 --> 00:29:23.400
don't think the uh. I think
that the rivalry is still still pretty close

413
00:29:23.400 --> 00:29:27.839
to the same. Obviously Red Sox
Yankees is that's uncomparable. But I think

414
00:29:27.880 --> 00:29:32.559
with both teams and both teams being
pretty good, I think the game,

415
00:29:32.599 --> 00:29:37.039
the atmosphere will be pretty similar to
to Red Sox Yankees. What was the

416
00:29:37.079 --> 00:29:41.200
reception for Mookie Bets when he came
here as a Red Sox It wasn't anything

417
00:29:41.240 --> 00:29:45.000
good. Every time you step foot
in Yankee Stadium is nothing good. But

418
00:29:45.039 --> 00:29:48.880
you know, it's always fun coming
here, and you un friends with a

419
00:29:48.880 --> 00:29:51.599
lot of those guys over there,
and we understand the competition and we know

420
00:29:51.680 --> 00:29:56.240
that that's what makes it fun.
Muki in the NBA, you know sometimes

421
00:29:56.279 --> 00:30:02.720
you have guys measure themselves against other
guys Kobe weigh Lebron Kobe, Magic Bird,

422
00:30:02.759 --> 00:30:07.319
all that stuff. Do you ever
measure yourself to see what Judge or

423
00:30:07.359 --> 00:30:10.880
Sodo is doing or anybody else in
the league. Nah, I can't do

424
00:30:10.960 --> 00:30:14.160
what those guys do. I'm not
five to nine, one hundred and seventy

425
00:30:14.160 --> 00:30:17.640
pounds, you know. So it's
I can't do anything at six eight two

426
00:30:17.680 --> 00:30:21.039
fifty or whatever how much he weighs
or want Soto who's yeah, what six

427
00:30:21.160 --> 00:30:25.359
one sixty two and he weighs two
thirty twenty two thirty. So there's there's

428
00:30:25.400 --> 00:30:27.759
nothing I can do that they can
do. Or yeah that that that that

429
00:30:27.839 --> 00:30:32.359
they already do is so there's no
sense in really trying to compare my skill

430
00:30:32.400 --> 00:30:34.200
set to theirs. Well, I
feel it's the opposite. They can't do

431
00:30:34.240 --> 00:30:40.400
what Mooki Bets can do. How
many players in Major League Baseball superstars can

432
00:30:40.440 --> 00:30:45.079
do what you've done the last two
years right field, second base and now

433
00:30:45.160 --> 00:30:48.960
shortstop and also last year hit thirty
nine home runs. See I'm looking at

434
00:30:48.000 --> 00:30:52.440
it the other way. Guys can't
do what Mooki Bets can do. Yeah,

435
00:30:52.480 --> 00:30:53.640
I mean, you know it is
what it is. I do what

436
00:30:53.680 --> 00:30:56.880
I can to help us win.
And you know, I was just kind

437
00:30:56.880 --> 00:31:00.440
of blessed with the skill set and
no, and guys that are five nine

438
00:31:00.440 --> 00:31:06.440
one seven, he probably can move
around a little easier than somebody of their

439
00:31:06.480 --> 00:31:11.400
their stature, But you know what, different bodies come with different skill sets.

440
00:31:11.640 --> 00:31:15.440
I love what you said after the
game yesterday. You're feeling like you're

441
00:31:15.440 --> 00:31:18.920
twenty one or twenty two years old. Why are you feeling that way?

442
00:31:18.119 --> 00:31:22.599
Oh, I'm just obviously eating really
good, making sure the engine is going,

443
00:31:23.559 --> 00:31:27.559
and then just my workouts and just
taking extra time to take care of

444
00:31:27.559 --> 00:31:30.599
my body, you know. And
as you get a little older, there's

445
00:31:32.119 --> 00:31:34.599
things that you got to do that
to make sure you can keep going,

446
00:31:34.720 --> 00:31:38.880
you know. And I just had
a lot of experience seeing people, seeing

447
00:31:38.920 --> 00:31:42.759
some do it the right way,
see and some do it I wouldn't say

448
00:31:42.839 --> 00:31:47.839
not the right way, but a
different way. And so I just have

449
00:31:48.240 --> 00:31:52.279
some experience with seeing things, and
so I'm just trying to make sure I

450
00:31:52.279 --> 00:31:55.599
take care of myself. It comes
to a certain stage of everybody's life,

451
00:31:55.680 --> 00:31:59.079
right where you can't just eat McDonald's
every day. Yeah, that's exactly what

452
00:31:59.079 --> 00:32:01.319
it is. You can can can
be eating something like now, I don't.

453
00:32:01.319 --> 00:32:05.119
I try not to eat after like
twelve o'clock. You know, it's

454
00:32:05.119 --> 00:32:07.720
hard. It's hard, you know, because you know we're getting home at

455
00:32:07.759 --> 00:32:12.759
eleven o'clock and whatnot, and I
just try to eat light mills that late.

456
00:32:12.799 --> 00:32:14.640
You know. It's weird. You
know when you're when you're young,

457
00:32:14.839 --> 00:32:16.720
you can just eat the two or
three in the morning and nothing right.

458
00:32:16.759 --> 00:32:20.039
But if I do that, now, I'm screwed for rest of today.

459
00:32:20.160 --> 00:32:23.559
So I gotta like you just gotta
roll with the changes, Mookie. I've

460
00:32:23.640 --> 00:32:28.799
enjoyed your podcasts going back to last
year, and I think you told me

461
00:32:28.839 --> 00:32:31.480
that when you interviewed Aaron Judge last
year that was really the first time you've

462
00:32:31.480 --> 00:32:36.839
ever had an extended conversation with him. What did you find out about him

463
00:32:36.960 --> 00:32:42.880
during that interview that you were surprised
about or you have more appreciation for nothing?

464
00:32:42.880 --> 00:32:45.160
Really, I mean, I think
you know we've had that was probably

465
00:32:45.160 --> 00:32:50.519
the longest sit down we've actually had
to have but gotten to have. But

466
00:32:50.599 --> 00:32:53.519
you know, playing against him here
and then a couple of All Star games,

467
00:32:53.559 --> 00:32:57.200
you know, being on the same
side, we've had some new conversations

468
00:32:57.240 --> 00:33:00.359
and that's probably nothing new that I
really got to learn. I mean,

469
00:33:00.480 --> 00:33:02.880
you know, we all know who
he is, and he's he's a pretty

470
00:33:02.880 --> 00:33:07.519
open book about himself, and so
I just know he's an awesome dude and

471
00:33:07.599 --> 00:33:10.720
he's a he's doing things the right
way for sure. Mookie Betts is our

472
00:33:10.759 --> 00:33:14.920
guest before I let you go.
Last time we were in New York,

473
00:33:14.960 --> 00:33:17.680
we were at City Field and I
got to visit with your former teammate,

474
00:33:17.759 --> 00:33:24.400
America's DH JD Martinez, who told
me his vision for post playing is being

475
00:33:24.599 --> 00:33:30.559
partners with Mookie Betts in a pickleball
championship team. Can you ever see that

476
00:33:30.680 --> 00:33:32.640
happening? Yeah, I definitely see
that. I think we'll we'll definitely make

477
00:33:32.640 --> 00:33:36.359
that happen. That's that's one of
my closest friends in the world, and

478
00:33:36.400 --> 00:33:40.039
so I definitely make sure I make
it down or we'll go somewhere and make

479
00:33:40.039 --> 00:33:44.000
sure we get in a tournament somewhere, and I don't know, we may

480
00:33:44.000 --> 00:33:47.079
have some videos or something to put
out there, but we'll see howest pickle

481
00:33:47.119 --> 00:33:51.559
ball game is. I'm curious to
see it. You'd be great. He's

482
00:33:51.599 --> 00:33:53.240
the big man, you're the little
guy in the in the pickle ball,

483
00:33:53.319 --> 00:33:57.680
you know, like Shaq Kobe kind
of pickleball tandem. There. You know

484
00:33:57.720 --> 00:34:00.160
he he doesn't move that well,
Mookie, but I'll take care of the

485
00:34:00.160 --> 00:34:04.160
moving part. He just has to
make sure he finishes like shack this.

486
00:34:04.480 --> 00:34:07.759
Oh man, love it. Mookie. Great talking to you, and look

Before first pitch, we head back out

00:36:52.760 --> 00:36:57.639
to Yankee Stadium. Rick Monday,
Stephen Nelson, Guys, Thanks Tim Mo.

528
00:36:57.679 --> 00:37:00.760
I'm gonna keep it simple to Yoshinobu
Yamamo. You know, he was

529
00:37:00.880 --> 00:37:05.559
the jewel of the Yankees' front office
eye this past offseason. That was the

530
00:37:05.599 --> 00:37:08.000
guy that they wanted the other team
and the other borough wanted him. He

531
00:37:08.079 --> 00:37:12.320
or in New York. Ultimately he
signs in Dodger Blue, and tonight he

532
00:37:12.360 --> 00:37:15.440
has a big opportunity to pitch on
this New York stage for the very first

533
00:37:15.480 --> 00:37:16.559
time. Yeah. I think he's
going to hear it from the local crown

534
00:37:16.599 --> 00:37:19.679
here too, because they understand,
Hey, look, we were in the

535
00:37:19.719 --> 00:37:21.920
hunt to try and sign him.
One thing going to be looking at for

536
00:37:22.000 --> 00:37:25.519
Yamamoto. He challenges hitters, and
that's a good way to pitch aggressively.

537
00:37:25.639 --> 00:37:31.239
However, first pitch batting average against
this year is four nineteen. That location

538
00:37:31.400 --> 00:37:35.519
of the first pitch are the Yankees
going to look at those numbers. You

539
00:37:35.599 --> 00:37:38.440
better believe they have it very well
in tune what's going to happen, so

540
00:37:38.480 --> 00:37:42.920
that first pitch could be very big
tonight. All the hitters, the Yankees

541
00:37:42.960 --> 00:37:46.840
lineup has some feared sluggers and sluggers
who'd like to ambush that very first pitch.

542
00:37:47.000 --> 00:37:51.519
We'll be looking forward to Yoshinobu Yamamoto
getting off to a good start in

543
00:37:51.519 --> 00:37:54.679
this one, and for the Dodger
offense to keep it rolling after two good

544
00:37:54.760 --> 00:37:59.159
showings the last two games in Pittsburgh. Tim all right, thank you guys,

545
00:37:59.199 --> 00:38:04.320
Dodgers starting thirty nine and twenty five, the Yankees forty five and nineteen.

546
00:38:04.400 --> 00:38:07.800
They got the best record in the
American League. Dodgers atop the NL

547
00:38:07.880 --> 00:38:10.559
West. They go into action tonight, the Dodgers with an eight game lead

548
00:38:10.880 --> 00:38:15.559
over the San Diego Padres, an
eight and a half game lead Overbooth,

549
00:38:15.599 --> 00:38:20.280
the Diamondbacks and the Giants, who
are starting to win baseball games, and

550
00:38:20.320 --> 00:38:23.920
the Colorado Rockies, they are sixteen
games back in the division. It's a

551
00:38:23.960 --> 00:38:29.119
big one from Yankees Stadium, the
start of a three game series. Two

552
00:38:29.679 --> 00:38:36.239
historical organizations, lots of history and
championships, Dodgers Yankees, the first of

553
00:38:36.320 --> 00:38:39.840
