As far as 46 00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:23.919 the pitching is concerned, the Dodgers led by Tyler glass Now in the first 47 00:03:23.960 --> 00:03:28.599 half of the season despite going on the injured Liss.

Cavin Stone on the mound, first pitch at seven ten 60 00:04:15.959 --> 00:04:19.560 and with more we head out to Dodger Stadium in the Gallpin Motors broadcast booth 61 00:04:19.720 --> 00:04:25.040 as we say hello to Tim Neffert and Jose Mote. Guys, thanks very 62 00:04:25.079 --> 00:04:28.519 much, Tim Man, welcome back to second half. Baseball begins tonight and 63 00:04:28.639 --> 00:04:31.800 it is interleague style is the Boston Red Sox are at Dodger Stadium for the 64 00:04:31.800 --> 00:04:35.720 first of three this weekend. The Red Sox come in one of the hottest 65 00:04:35.759 --> 00:04:40.199 teams in baseball. Since the end of June and even since late May, 66 00:04:40.759 --> 00:04:44.759 they have really, really been good. This is the best record that Boston 67 00:04:44.800 --> 00:04:47.560 has had since twenty twenty one, the last time they made the playoffs. 68 00:04:47.560 --> 00:04:51.720 They are fifty three and forty two right now third in the American League East, 69 00:04:53.000 --> 00:04:56.959 four and a half behind the Eastern Division leader. They're two up in 70 00:04:57.000 --> 00:05:00.800 the third wild card spot and a half game out for the second wild card 71 00:05:00.800 --> 00:05:04.920 spot, just behind Minnesota for the Dodgers. Fifty six and forty one. 72 00:05:04.959 --> 00:05:08.600 They limped to the finish line of the first half, losing eight of the 73 00:05:08.680 --> 00:05:13.319 last eleven and the starters in that time went zero to five with the seven 74 00:05:13.360 --> 00:05:17.199 eight six ERA. Tonight, Gavin Stone takes the hill for the Dodgers. 75 00:05:17.199 --> 00:05:20.480 He's nine and three in a three two six ERA. He'll make his eighteenth 76 00:05:20.480 --> 00:05:26.240 start. Nick Pavetta will throw for Boston. He is four and six with 77 00:05:26.279 --> 00:05:31.079 a four eighteen ERA, making his fifteenth start. Rick Monday is on vacation 78 00:05:31.240 --> 00:05:34.360 till the Houston series. Jose Mota is with us. We're lucky to have 79 00:05:34.480 --> 00:05:39.600 Jose and this is an important series for the Dodgers to start the second half 80 00:05:39.680 --> 00:05:42.079 on the right foot. It is. You want to go out there and 81 00:05:42.120 --> 00:05:45.639 know that the break came at the right time, and the Dodgers obviously gonna 82 00:05:45.680 --> 00:05:47.279 use a break, and you know they limped that. You mentioned going three 83 00:05:47.279 --> 00:05:50.279 and seven the last ten games, and we saw so many factors tim that 84 00:05:50.439 --> 00:05:54.120 led to that. But now it's pickup time. Now, you know the 85 00:05:54.120 --> 00:05:57.480 toughest part of the schedules coming up, no matter what the opposing team looks 86 00:05:57.639 --> 00:06:00.560 like, in what the record is, because now is about you and how 87 00:06:00.600 --> 00:06:03.600 you measure up against yourself. The values we know have been invaded by injuries 88 00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:06.279 and lack of production and so many other things. But I think the little 89 00:06:06.319 --> 00:06:11.439 reset with the leadership they have and the fact that they they've been there before 90 00:06:11.680 --> 00:06:14.160 and they understand what's ahead of him, and certainly, you know, the 91 00:06:14.199 --> 00:06:16.120 product's still very good. And for sure, there's so many guys that I've 92 00:06:16.120 --> 00:06:19.399 talked to Tim that say, I guess haven't played my best baseball and I 93 00:06:19.439 --> 00:06:23.879 know it's gonna come when really matters now, starting here in July, some 94 00:06:23.920 --> 00:06:27.439 important players who just took part in the Midsummer Classic festive and he's show. 95 00:06:27.439 --> 00:06:30.800 Hey O Townny had a home run on the All Star Game. Teoscar Hernandez 96 00:06:30.839 --> 00:06:34.160 wins the home run derby and leading off for Boston tonight Jared Durant, he 97 00:06:34.240 --> 00:06:38.160 was the All Star Game MVP. This kid is so good. Talk to 98 00:06:38.199 --> 00:06:41.879 Mike Sosia about him years ago when he had him in the Olympic team, 99 00:06:41.879 --> 00:06:44.079 and he goes, listen, this is going to be a star player. 100 00:06:44.199 --> 00:06:48.160 Long Beach State product, kid from Corona who can do so many different things, 101 00:06:48.199 --> 00:06:53.560 including one of the most the most exciting hit in baseball, the triple 102 00:06:53.600 --> 00:06:55.839 How about ten of them, and certainly the dollues on all their hands are 103 00:06:55.839 --> 00:06:58.720 full because he can run and he pretty much leads the charge on a guy 104 00:06:58.720 --> 00:07:02.240 that also Tim likes the play every single day. Twenty two stolen bases for 105 00:07:02.319 --> 00:07:06.480 him. David Hamilton whole bats second for Boston, twenty three stolen bases, 106 00:07:06.519 --> 00:07:10.879 one of the American League leaders. So back in New England, they're referring 107 00:07:10.959 --> 00:07:14.040 to this version of the team as the running Red Sox. I love that 108 00:07:14.480 --> 00:07:16.199 because it's all about atra bases, which they do quite well. But I 109 00:07:16.199 --> 00:07:20.000 think putting pressure because Alex Korral likes that tope of player. He likes the 110 00:07:20.000 --> 00:07:24.079 athletic player, things that give him options to work with when it comes down 111 00:07:24.120 --> 00:07:27.639 to pushing on the team. So they're not so cut up in Boston only 112 00:07:27.800 --> 00:07:30.600 wins at all. Well, they play better on the broad than actually they 113 00:07:30.600 --> 00:07:32.839 do at home. A couple of things. Pitching wise, Tyler glasnow through 114 00:07:32.839 --> 00:07:36.600 a SIM game this afternoon, went three innings, fifty seven pitches. It 115 00:07:36.639 --> 00:07:41.879 looks likely he'll be back in the San Francisco Series at some point in time. 116 00:07:41.920 --> 00:07:46.160 Clayton Kershaw pitching in Triple A at Round Rock and they're going to determine 117 00:07:46.160 --> 00:07:50.160 after tonight's start for Kershaw win and if he'll be back in the Major league 118 00:07:50.240 --> 00:07:55.000 rotation. Conversation is you know a lot of teams leaving wide ways bullets down 119 00:07:55.040 --> 00:07:57.120 there where you can help us up here. But I think for Kershew and 120 00:07:57.160 --> 00:08:01.800 his history to him, I mean truly and speaking clearly here is what is 121 00:08:01.879 --> 00:08:05.839 going to be best for him to try to go five eighty five a couple 122 00:08:05.839 --> 00:08:11.279 of times to maybe if there is any soreness for it to happen when he's 123 00:08:11.279 --> 00:08:13.000 not activated. But also you got to see or he is where he stands, 124 00:08:13.000 --> 00:08:16.600 because we know one thing, he is pushing to be here. But 125 00:08:16.600 --> 00:08:20.199 I think he gotta be very careful consuding the recent history with that shoulder too. 126 00:08:20.439 --> 00:08:24.240 Gavin Stone pitching tonight for the Dodgers. It'll be Nick Pavetta for Boston. 127 00:08:24.319 --> 00:08:28.240 The Red Sox have not been to Dodgers Stadium since they won the World 128 00:08:28.360 --> 00:08:33.799 Series against the Dodgers in twenty eighteen.

So 173 00:11:54.120 --> 00:11:58.519 he brings my jersey from Toronto and when he goes to home play he was 174 00:11:58.559 --> 00:12:03.679 trying to calm down, so he had passed through the two times and it 175 00:12:03.759 --> 00:12:09.360 works well, he said, it works. It helped me going into the 176 00:12:09.440 --> 00:12:13.159 last run in the final. Right here in the middle of side run, 177 00:12:13.559 --> 00:12:18.120 come your commenetrations. We say you're receiving a tifts from show Hair. What 178 00:12:18.879 --> 00:12:22.559 kind of tifts did you receive from show Hay? He said to hit the 179 00:12:22.559 --> 00:12:26.559 ball to left center, to not pull it U because I had to let 180 00:12:26.559 --> 00:12:30.279 a chance because the way my swing is to go over there, it's far. 181 00:12:30.399 --> 00:12:33.039 But he said, it's better for you, Jason on the left. 182 00:12:33.240 --> 00:12:39.440 So thanks to ask her. Congratulations. How hard is it to sit there 183 00:12:39.480 --> 00:12:43.960 when you're not hitting and watch Alec Baum was one homer away and curled that 184 00:12:45.000 --> 00:12:48.840 ball that almost was fair. Bobby Witt needed one homer to tie you and 185 00:12:48.960 --> 00:12:52.440 hit that ball and it hung at the night and it hit the wall. 186 00:12:52.799 --> 00:12:58.080 How hard is it to watch those moments? I mean, I was trying 187 00:12:58.120 --> 00:13:01.960 to hold all my emotions, you know, But I'm not the guy that 188 00:13:03.320 --> 00:13:11.120 is gonna think about that about other players the same opportunity that I got to 189 00:13:11.240 --> 00:13:15.080 do the best job. They were doing it, and I was happy for 190 00:13:15.120 --> 00:13:20.240 them, even if I would have lost. For me, just to be 191 00:13:20.279 --> 00:13:24.159 in here, make it to the finals and going through those moments, it 192 00:13:24.360 --> 00:13:28.559 just feel grateful. All right.

You know, probably 222 00:15:41.000 --> 00:15:45.399 throw a bullpen after that, and you know, if all goes well, 223 00:15:45.399 --> 00:15:48.279 we should go to slot him into the rotation.

I'm Tim Kas's Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network. 231 00:16:18.799 --> 00:16:26.000 This is Marongo Casino Dodgers on Deck on your home for the Blue All 232 00:16:26.120 --> 00:16:33.320 Season Law.

Gavin Stone Nick Pivetta the pitching matchup in 234 00:16:37.960 --> 00:16:41.480 this series opener, first game since the All Star Break. First pitch coming 235 00:16:41.559 --> 00:16:44.480 up at seven to ten. Coming up, we'll dive deeper to this pitching 236 00:16:44.559 --> 00:16:48.679 matchup. We'll have those keys to the game as well. But first, 237 00:16:48.759 --> 00:16:55.120 David Veasse, twenty four year old Justin Robleski will make the start tomorrow for 238 00:16:55.240 --> 00:16:59.240 the Dodgers, and we had a chance to catch up with the Dodgers rookie 239 00:16:59.360 --> 00:17:03.160 right hander Justin. Thanks a lot for the time, appreciate it. Yeah, 240 00:17:03.279 --> 00:17:07.000 yeah, no worries, No worries. Hey, let's just get this 241 00:17:07.039 --> 00:17:11.319 out of the way right now. I've heard people refer to you as Robo. 242 00:17:11.920 --> 00:17:15.000 I'm not in with that nickname. I'm not sure if you're in with 243 00:17:15.039 --> 00:17:18.880 that nickname. Can you just set the record straight. If you want people 244 00:17:18.920 --> 00:17:22.440 to stop referring to as Robo, we can make that happen right now, 245 00:17:23.400 --> 00:17:26.519 you know what. So when I was in when I was in fourth grade, 246 00:17:26.759 --> 00:17:30.279 when I was in fourth grade, fourth grade, oh yeah, that's 247 00:17:30.279 --> 00:17:34.200 when that's when it started. And then kind of just my whole life everyone's 248 00:17:34.319 --> 00:17:37.640 called me that. So I've kind of grown into it and I kind of 249 00:17:37.720 --> 00:17:41.400 like it. So that's that's what we're gonna stick with, all right, 250 00:17:41.559 --> 00:17:45.640 all right. I was hoping you would say you hate it. No, 251 00:17:45.839 --> 00:17:49.880 it's it's it's kind of just like it's me now, you know what I 252 00:17:49.880 --> 00:17:53.079 mean At this point, I've written with it for so long and it's kind 253 00:17:53.079 --> 00:17:56.640 of just who I am. I mean, I look at your name. 254 00:17:56.200 --> 00:18:03.079 I don't see Robo anywhere in this name. It's it's just because Robleski and 255 00:18:03.720 --> 00:18:06.559 I's for whatever reason, just Robo. That's just what it was. So 256 00:18:06.880 --> 00:18:10.960 with a W in the front though not not not Robo, it's Wrbo. 257 00:18:11.559 --> 00:18:15.839 Yeah, and maybe that's why the fourth graders there just went with robo right 258 00:18:15.920 --> 00:18:21.240 right there. Yeah, W Yeah. Easier to say, hey, justin 259 00:18:21.319 --> 00:18:23.240 I know you're in the big leagues right now, but man, you are 260 00:18:23.279 --> 00:18:29.839 an underdog story. You were an eleventh round pick in twenty twenty one. 261 00:18:30.279 --> 00:18:34.000 You were the three hundred and forty second overall pick that year. Do you 262 00:18:34.079 --> 00:18:41.119 feel like you're an underdog story? I would say, yeah, but kind 263 00:18:41.119 --> 00:18:45.319 of had a lot of unfortunate things happened in my college career that kind of, 264 00:18:47.319 --> 00:18:49.720 I guess, not derailed, but just kind of made my path different 265 00:18:49.759 --> 00:18:53.519 than a lot of other people's. So I've always kind of felt, you 266 00:18:53.559 --> 00:18:57.039 know, that's kind of a chip on my shoulder, like they don't think 267 00:18:57.079 --> 00:19:00.240 I can, so I will. I think that's just kind of who I 268 00:19:00.319 --> 00:19:03.839 am. But yeah, it's I would say I'm an underdog, but I 269 00:19:04.119 --> 00:19:11.119 would say I've never I've never viewed myself as like lesser than I guess if 270 00:19:11.119 --> 00:19:15.160 that makes sense. I've always had confidence. Yeah, no doubt. I 271 00:19:15.200 --> 00:19:18.039 saw that at Dodger Stadium. You really had mound presence for a guy that 272 00:19:18.160 --> 00:19:22.640 was making his major league debut. Where does that come from? I think 273 00:19:22.960 --> 00:19:27.039 I think it just kind of falls back on my preparation and just kind of 274 00:19:29.799 --> 00:19:32.279 I don't know, I guess just who I am as a person, Like 275 00:19:32.319 --> 00:19:36.240 if I'm if I feel prepared, I think, you know, I can 276 00:19:36.240 --> 00:19:38.119 compete with with anybody. So I guess that's where it comes from. It's 277 00:19:38.160 --> 00:19:44.039 just I guess slowly been built up over time. But it's it's just kind 278 00:19:44.039 --> 00:19:47.720 of I don't know, that's a good question, but I'd say it's just 279 00:19:47.720 --> 00:19:51.440 something I slowly built over time. Hey, I guess if you feel like 280 00:19:51.480 --> 00:19:53.839 you're prepared, you have that confidence. If you're not prepared, that's when 281 00:19:53.839 --> 00:19:59.960 you're nervous, right, I actually get some homework on you, roblest. 282 00:20:00.680 --> 00:20:04.680 I actually text your TRIPAA manager, Travis Barbery and asked him what he thought 283 00:20:04.680 --> 00:20:07.480 about Justin Robleski. You want to hear what he had to tell me. 284 00:20:08.480 --> 00:20:11.480 If they were good things. Yeah, they were good things. And it 285 00:20:11.519 --> 00:20:15.960 goes back to preparation. He said. The biggest thing that stood out to 286 00:20:15.039 --> 00:20:22.079 him is how detailed your pre start preparation is and the homework you do on 287 00:20:22.160 --> 00:20:26.759 the lineup that you're going to face. And I'm sure when you were in 288 00:20:26.799 --> 00:20:30.319 that hotel room before you made your major league debut against the Brewers, you 289 00:20:30.359 --> 00:20:34.440 were doing a lot of studying. So did I interrupt the preparation for the 290 00:20:34.480 --> 00:20:38.559 Red Sox? Uh? No, that's that's already been. I mean, 291 00:20:38.599 --> 00:20:41.799 there's already been a lot of that that's done already. Obviously I'm gonna go 292 00:20:42.160 --> 00:20:47.160 probably going tomorrow and look at a few more things. But yeah, it's 293 00:20:47.279 --> 00:20:48.480 I kind of I try to do it. It's kind of like homework for 294 00:20:48.559 --> 00:20:52.319 me. I guess I just kind of I try to get it out of 295 00:20:52.359 --> 00:20:56.400 the way and then so I can look over it and kind of really understand, 296 00:20:56.440 --> 00:21:00.839 like what I'm trying to do. From that standpoint, what are you 297 00:21:00.880 --> 00:21:04.079 looking at? Without giving away too many secrets? Why are you so detailed? 298 00:21:04.119 --> 00:21:08.119 Are you looking at the swings? Can you read swings as the game 299 00:21:08.200 --> 00:21:12.480 is going on? What are you looking for? I think for sure reading 300 00:21:12.519 --> 00:21:17.039 swings is part of it for me. I'm I'm definitely more of a numbers 301 00:21:17.079 --> 00:21:22.400 guy, so I like, I have a customer report that the Dodgers have 302 00:21:22.519 --> 00:21:26.000 that I've always I've looked at. And there's a couple of other things that 303 00:21:26.039 --> 00:21:30.279 they've helped me kind of, I guess mold and there's certain certain tendencies and 304 00:21:30.319 --> 00:21:33.480 other things that I'm looking at. I'm not gonna say everything, but yeah, 305 00:21:33.599 --> 00:21:37.759 just certain tendencies kind of what guys like to do where they do damage. 306 00:21:37.799 --> 00:21:38.839 I guess it is kind of the biggest pieces of it for me. 307 00:21:40.119 --> 00:21:42.680 There, he goes. Justin Robleski, the South Paw will be back on 308 00:21:42.720 --> 00:21:48.559 the mound tomorrow evening here at Dodgers Stadium for Game two of this three game 309 00:21:48.759 --> 00:21:52.720 series against the Boston Red Sox.

August twenty seventh. 322 00:23:00.000 --> 00:23:03.000 Last year, twenty twenty three, the Dodgers were in Boston taking on 323 00:23:03.039 --> 00:23:07.559 the Red Sox and for Mookie Betts it was his first time back at Fenway 324 00:23:07.599 --> 00:23:11.240 Parks. It's leaving the Red Sox and joining the Dodgers in twenty twenty, 325 00:23:11.440 --> 00:23:15.799 and what a return it was.

This series and this entire home stand for Rick Monday and Jose the 349 00:25:11.720 --> 00:25:17.079 Dodgers back in action and talking to some guys, they feel like they needed 350 00:25:17.160 --> 00:25:19.680 a mental break just as much of a physical break. It is true, 351 00:25:19.759 --> 00:25:22.960 Dave, no matter what you know, you can go into an all star 352 00:25:23.039 --> 00:25:27.839 break playing great, and the word is always why now right, But even 353 00:25:27.920 --> 00:25:30.799 then guys will go you still need to reset, you know, and then 354 00:25:30.839 --> 00:25:33.720 where you're not play well, as the Dodgers are not playing well coming into 355 00:25:33.799 --> 00:25:37.799 the break, then it's like, oh, how ideal, hal timely, 356 00:25:37.839 --> 00:25:41.119 But it's just your mind gets ready to just go out there and just say, 357 00:25:41.160 --> 00:25:44.359 I don't have to think about betting practice today well times you know, 358 00:25:44.440 --> 00:25:45.960 the bus or anything like that, but just give your body and your mind 359 00:25:47.000 --> 00:25:48.759 reset because you know what's coming. It's the toughest dates are going to be 360 00:25:48.799 --> 00:25:53.119 ahead, and the Dodgers are starting to get more reinforcements back tonight they have 361 00:25:53.240 --> 00:25:56.519 Gavin Stone on the mound. I know you and Tim are going to talk 362 00:25:56.519 --> 00:26:00.640 about it a little bit more, but what is it out to you the 363 00:26:00.680 --> 00:26:04.720 most about Gavin Stones's first half The fact that he's not afraid of the zone. 364 00:26:04.839 --> 00:26:07.079 I mean, and you said it very well in spring Train. Now 365 00:26:07.119 --> 00:26:11.599 I give you a lot of credit for this. I do like his remade 366 00:26:11.640 --> 00:26:14.319 mechanics, which to me are a little more violent, which is great, 367 00:26:14.400 --> 00:26:18.039 you know, the finish up in the striking of the zone, the filling 368 00:26:18.119 --> 00:26:21.640 out. But he's a girl also as a pitcher because it was almost like 369 00:26:21.680 --> 00:26:23.480 he was told at one point, you know, the change of is your 370 00:26:23.480 --> 00:26:27.559 outpitch. His ladder's still developing. It's it's sometimes an okay pitch. But 371 00:26:27.759 --> 00:26:32.440 now the sinker, it's pretty much what God where he is. This guy's 372 00:26:32.440 --> 00:26:34.680 an all star pitcher. Uh not by title, but he is. And 373 00:26:34.799 --> 00:26:37.400 the way he's pitched, he said, the values a lot. You know, 374 00:26:37.480 --> 00:26:40.559 last couple of starts has not doing very well, but it's part of 375 00:26:40.559 --> 00:26:42.279 the adjustment he has to make and the league is making against it. But 376 00:26:42.640 --> 00:26:48.519 Dave, that sinker plays so well, and I know that there's so many 377 00:26:48.599 --> 00:26:51.599 people watching to see if he's gonna continue with this pitch because it is a 378 00:26:51.640 --> 00:26:55.480 contact pitch. Was allowed him to go a little deeper in games because he 379 00:26:55.519 --> 00:26:56.920 does have the four seam where they can get people out. But I think 380 00:26:57.119 --> 00:27:00.920 he's learned enough to know I know what I'd need to do to get guys 381 00:27:00.960 --> 00:27:03.759 out sometimes on three pitches. Want to keep using it. He's done a 382 00:27:03.839 --> 00:27:07.319 very good job growing. Now is the league just let's see how he's gonna 383 00:27:07.319 --> 00:27:10.480 adjust also to the guys in the batchback And that's where it all starts for 384 00:27:10.519 --> 00:27:12.519 the Dodgers. Right, Jose. When they got this big lead in the 385 00:27:12.599 --> 00:27:18.359 division, their starters were going six or more innings and giving them great starts. 386 00:27:18.519 --> 00:27:22.960 Lately it hasn't been going that direction. It's vital for Gavin Stone to 387 00:27:22.000 --> 00:27:25.920 go at least six tonight, right. And the best thing is he's coming 388 00:27:25.960 --> 00:27:29.119 off the rest. He can go out there and give you six plus innings. 389 00:27:29.519 --> 00:27:32.279 He has the stuff to do it. He's gonna face a lineup today 390 00:27:32.279 --> 00:27:34.519 that obviously has a lot of unknowns, but a team that can, you 391 00:27:34.559 --> 00:27:37.079 know, be a little bit of a headche sometimes because they can run and 392 00:27:37.160 --> 00:27:40.640 they have a lot of extra brace power, but at the same time, 393 00:27:40.680 --> 00:27:42.440 you make good pitches. Says he's done throughout the season. He should be 394 00:27:42.559 --> 00:27:47.759 just fine knowing that sometimes if that tinip is not there, he's got something 395 00:27:47.759 --> 00:27:52.920 else to work with. And I mean length. Sometimes you think about veteran 396 00:27:52.000 --> 00:27:56.400 pitchers and thinking about who's pitching, you know, and maybe like the background 397 00:27:56.440 --> 00:27:59.680 of a pitcher like that. But he doesn't have that, right but he 398 00:27:59.759 --> 00:28:00.880 does now, and he could be the guy that can set the tone and 399 00:28:00.880 --> 00:28:03.799 say, hey, I know that I'm the younger guy here, but certainly 400 00:28:03.839 --> 00:28:07.200 you have the conference could have done and I think he's a big important for 401 00:28:07.240 --> 00:28:10.960 him today. Do you believe the Dodger bullpen should have a meeting before the 402 00:28:11.039 --> 00:28:15.680 game tonight, just regroup after the way things went down in Detroit. No, 403 00:28:17.039 --> 00:28:19.839 I think everybody should go out there know what their jobs is and then 404 00:28:21.039 --> 00:28:25.440 understanding that where they failed, will the starter have failed too, and just 405 00:28:25.559 --> 00:28:26.640 know that you gotta go out there and pick each other up. I know, 406 00:28:26.720 --> 00:28:32.359 you know guys want to be slotted in important positions, but I think 407 00:28:32.400 --> 00:28:33.960 Dave Roberts now with the off days, is gonna have a little bit more 408 00:28:34.000 --> 00:28:37.960 freedom as to who we slots where, because, as we know very well, 409 00:28:37.240 --> 00:28:41.240 when you're back against the wall and your starter are not going deep, 410 00:28:41.359 --> 00:28:45.079 you end up pitching guys in roles of which they're not comfortable. Are not 411 00:28:45.160 --> 00:28:48.039 ideal for him. I think those days for now are over. When we 412 00:28:48.079 --> 00:28:52.000 look at the Dodgers, and Dave has even mentioned this the last two weeks 413 00:28:52.319 --> 00:28:56.720 going into the All Star break, there's been some questions about pitch sequencing from 414 00:28:56.720 --> 00:29:02.240 his right handed relievers to left handed hit Do you believe that's something the Dodgers 415 00:29:02.279 --> 00:29:07.279 may have reevaluated during the break, Yes, because it is important as the 416 00:29:07.319 --> 00:29:11.640 innings accumulate as your information goes out there and gets gathered. There's the teams 417 00:29:11.680 --> 00:29:15.079 that you're gonna be facing doing the same thing right now. You counteract that, 418 00:29:15.160 --> 00:29:18.880 but don't get away from what makes you good too, because that's another 419 00:29:18.960 --> 00:29:22.680 problem now where you start over analyzing, then you get away from your strength 420 00:29:22.039 --> 00:29:25.279 and you play more to what you think they're not gonna do, what they're 421 00:29:25.279 --> 00:29:26.759 gonna look for, and you end up with a lot of trouble. These 422 00:29:26.799 --> 00:29:30.279 guys have done it before and they know exactly what they need to do. 423 00:29:30.359 --> 00:29:33.920 But sequencing, it's a matter of where your stuff is that particular date, 424 00:29:33.960 --> 00:29:37.839 who you're facing, and they pay attention to how they're taking your pitches. 425 00:29:37.039 --> 00:29:41.319 That's the biggest indicator as to what they might be looking for. And with 426 00:29:41.480 --> 00:29:45.519 your catcher, the way he sets up has not much to do with where 427 00:29:45.559 --> 00:29:47.759 you throw a pitch. But I think it's important to your catch on time 428 00:29:47.799 --> 00:29:51.720 to exaggerate when you're missing out of a play, to exaggerate on one side 429 00:29:51.799 --> 00:29:53.240 or the other on the dirt, say if you miss, you're gonna miss 430 00:29:53.240 --> 00:29:56.559 here, because you end up making better pictures that way. Well. A 431 00:29:56.559 --> 00:30:00.920 fresh start for the Dodgers, no easy task tonight to star the second half 432 00:30:00.960 --> 00:30:04.559 against the Boston Red Sox, who are the surprise team in Major League Baseball. 433 00:30:04.880 --> 00:30:08.440 No surprise, Jose Mota teaches us something to get ready for the game. 434 00:30:08.680 --> 00:30:11.359 Great to have you in the booth for the game with Tim Negert. 435 00:30:11.440 --> 00:30:15.440 Jose, Oh, I got Timmy next to me again?

Yeah, it was not great for us, 506 00:35:30.159 --> 00:35:34.239 you know, especially because we had a lot of injuries at the end. 507 00:35:34.800 --> 00:35:37.519 But that's war a baseball. We just have to keep fighting, be 508 00:35:37.519 --> 00:35:40.800 better and just trying to win. To come back to Dodger Stadium tonight, 509 00:35:40.840 --> 00:35:45.880 I'm sure it's going to be electric with the Boston Red Sox here, but 510 00:35:45.320 --> 00:35:50.960 more importantly you and the rest of the team back here in action. Are 511 00:35:51.000 --> 00:35:55.280 you anticipating a huge ovation when you take the field, when you step in 512 00:35:55.320 --> 00:35:59.719 the batter's box, because you know they're going to show highlights of the home 513 00:35:59.800 --> 00:36:04.840 run derby. I wasn't thinking about it, you know, but it's definitely 514 00:36:05.159 --> 00:36:07.960 feel great to be back home, especially to hear him from the fence, 515 00:36:08.119 --> 00:36:13.159 and like you say, facing that organization, the Boston Rexas, they've been 516 00:36:13.159 --> 00:36:15.760 playing a really good baseball, which is things gonna be a good show tonight. 517 00:36:15.960 --> 00:36:19.599 Man.

All right back out to the booth, final check 564 00:39:25.960 --> 00:39:29.880 in before first pitch. Tim never Jose Mode, guys, Thank you very 565 00:39:29.920 --> 00:39:32.840 much. Tim. Gorgeous night for a ballgame. Bright blue sky is not 566 00:39:32.880 --> 00:39:37.000 a cloud to be seen anywhere. A little warm this evening, but it's 567 00:39:37.039 --> 00:39:40.320 good baseball weather. Nick Pavetta will pitch for Boston. He is four and 568 00:39:40.440 --> 00:39:45.960 six. Meantime, Gavin Stone going for the Dodgers. Stone is nine and 569 00:39:45.119 --> 00:39:49.559 three. One thing about Gavin Stone is he doesn't hit a lot of barrels. 570 00:39:49.559 --> 00:39:52.920 His barrel percentage is the second lowest and major League Baseball, just behind 571 00:39:52.960 --> 00:39:58.800 fraanber Valdez of Houston. So with his change up and you know a couple 572 00:39:58.800 --> 00:40:00.119 of those other pitches, he just had been hitting the middle of too many 573 00:40:00.159 --> 00:40:02.480 bats. When you think about the sinker, what a sinker is supposed to 574 00:40:02.519 --> 00:40:07.320 do is exactly what this is happening, and you relate it all to guys 575 00:40:07.360 --> 00:40:09.360 gearing up so much. Sometimes with that changeup, he comes in with a 576 00:40:09.400 --> 00:40:14.840 fastball that sinker in around the waist in running in on righties, and he's 577 00:40:14.840 --> 00:40:16.840 been able to break a lot of bats. As you mentioned missing Barrett. 578 00:40:16.880 --> 00:40:21.440 Sometimes when they find barrels, they found it at the top of the baseball, 579 00:40:21.440 --> 00:40:22.480 which induced it into a lot of ground balls. And that's why he's 580 00:40:22.480 --> 00:40:25.039 been able to go a little bit deeper. But he's complimented so well that 581 00:40:25.079 --> 00:40:29.920 sinker with that changeup, the slyly he does not overuse, but overall it's 582 00:40:30.239 --> 00:40:32.280 base stay in baseball. He is making home plate much bigger right now for 583 00:40:32.280 --> 00:40:36.760 the hitters, Nick Pavetta going for Boston tonight. Freddie Freeman, Choeo, 584 00:40:36.920 --> 00:40:42.159 Johnny Taaskar Hernandez, Chris Taylor, all with very good histories against Nick Pivetta. 585 00:40:42.159 --> 00:40:44.960 We'll see if it plays out in the ball game Tonight, Game one 586 00:40:45.159 --> 00:40:49.480 of a three game weekend set at Dodgers Stadium. Gavin Stone and Nick Pavetta. 587 00:40:49.719 --> 00:40:52.119 It's the Dodgers hosting the Boston Red Sox. Tim all Right, first 588 00:40:52.119 --> 00:40:55.760 pitches next, Dodgers Red Sox first came back after the All Star break. 589 00:40:55.960 --> 00:41:00.880 I'm Tim Kasey's them Wrongo Casino Dodgers on deck, Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network 590 00:41:00.920 --> 00:41:04.719 and join the game.
