00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:08.160
And now your host for Marongo Casino
Dodgers on Tech, Damn Chase. Hi,

2
00:00:08.240 --> 00:00:13.960
everybody, welcome in to mo Rongo
Casino Dodgers on Deck. I hope

3
00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:20.120
you're enjoying your Tuesday evening. Your
Los Angeles Dodgers sixty and forty one on

4
00:00:20.199 --> 00:00:24.039
this season, first place a top
the NL West, an eight and a

5
00:00:24.120 --> 00:00:28.160
half game lead atop the division.
Dodgers winners of four in a row.

6
00:00:28.320 --> 00:00:32.799
Post All Star breaking tonight, another
young arm on the mound for the Dodgers,

7
00:00:32.920 --> 00:00:36.240
landing nack. He gets to the
start as the Dodgers look to make

8
00:00:36.280 --> 00:00:40.399
it too straight over San Francisco.
First pitch from Dodger Stadium is coming up

9
00:00:40.439 --> 00:00:43.759
at seven to ten. Between then
and now, we got a lot to

10
00:00:43.840 --> 00:00:47.200
get to here. On Maronggo Casino
Dodgers on Deck, you're gonna hear from

11
00:00:47.200 --> 00:00:52.039
the Dodger manager Dave Roberts. We'll
preview this pitching matchup David Vea, Sego's

12
00:00:52.039 --> 00:00:56.640
one on one with Gavin Lutz.
We got your Dodgers magical moment you're otani

13
00:00:56.840 --> 00:01:02.439
rewind shortly, we'll visit with Kirsten
Watts from Sportsnet LA and in just a

14
00:01:02.439 --> 00:01:07.200
few minutes We'll check in with Steven
Nelson and Jose Mota out the Galpin Motors

15
00:01:07.239 --> 00:01:11.400
broadcast booth. Well last night,
a river ran through Dodgers Stadium as Tao

16
00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:18.120
provided all the offensive push. Last
night, River Ryan made his major league

17
00:01:18.200 --> 00:01:22.560
debut. The right hander we pitched
into the sixth inning five and a third,

18
00:01:22.879 --> 00:01:26.599
one run, four hits, struck
out two while throwing a season high

19
00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:33.120
seventy three pitches. He battled it
out against the reigning Cy Young Award winner

20
00:01:33.439 --> 00:01:37.319
Blake Snell, who was equally as
good, but the Dodgers were able to

21
00:01:37.359 --> 00:01:40.439
get to him. The Giants,
though, scored first in the top half

22
00:01:40.480 --> 00:01:42.840
of the fourth inning. A pass
ball from Will Smith, the ball that

23
00:01:44.079 --> 00:01:47.879
probably should have caught goes off of
his catchers mid back to the backstop.

24
00:01:47.959 --> 00:01:52.680
Matt Chapman scored from third and the
Giants with an unearned run take a one

25
00:01:52.959 --> 00:01:56.680
nothing lead, But the Dodgers came
back in the bottom half of the fourth

26
00:01:56.760 --> 00:02:00.719
inning. Tay Oscar Hernandez the guy, won the home run derby a week

27
00:02:00.760 --> 00:02:04.400
ago. He has started off the
second half of the season on a roar.

28
00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:07.719
But Kansas City is the story bo
say is there? Fifty six win

29
00:02:07.800 --> 00:02:12.719
of the year. That's as many
as they had all of twenty twenty three.

30
00:02:12.919 --> 00:02:16.599
As Hernandez lifts off to left field, he can watch it fly halfway

31
00:02:16.680 --> 00:02:22.000
up the pavilion, right next to
the Dodger bullpen, and we are all

32
00:02:22.039 --> 00:02:27.800
tied up. Tay Oscar Hernandez with
his twenty first home run of this season,

33
00:02:28.120 --> 00:02:30.039
and he was just getting going.
As the Dodgers and Giants were all

34
00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:34.719
tied up at one. In the
bottom half of the sixth inning, Taot

35
00:02:34.800 --> 00:02:38.520
delivered again and RBI single up the
middle, scoring Freddie Freeman. As the

36
00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:43.520
Dodgers took a two to one lead, River Ryan would go five and a

37
00:02:43.560 --> 00:02:46.439
third Indians, he'd leave and get
a no decision. The Giants, though,

38
00:02:46.479 --> 00:02:52.039
would tie things up late in the
seventh. Fitzgerald a home run to

39
00:02:52.199 --> 00:02:55.439
left center field off Ryan Yarborough,
and the Giants came back to tie it

40
00:02:55.560 --> 00:03:00.280
at two. Then the bottom of
the eighth, the Dodgers got something going

41
00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:04.680
runners on for Wow tay Oscar again, two balls, two strikes, two

42
00:03:04.719 --> 00:03:07.800
on two out, game tied at
two. The pitch Hernandez with another base

43
00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:14.680
hit in the center field tail Timing
again comes through in the clutch. The

44
00:03:14.719 --> 00:03:20.719
Dodgers lead three to two. Tay
Oscar Hernandez delivers again with an RBI single

45
00:03:20.719 --> 00:03:23.639
that's the top tier play of the
game sponsored by Arco Quality top tier gas

46
00:03:23.639 --> 00:03:27.879
for less. He has three hits
in the game last night, including a

47
00:03:27.919 --> 00:03:31.560
home run the Dodgers had six as
a team. He drives in all three

48
00:03:31.719 --> 00:03:36.960
runs As the Dodgers hang on and
beat the Giants last night three to two.

49
00:03:37.360 --> 00:03:40.400
Blake Trining gets the winning relief.
Daniel Hudson comes in, strikes out

50
00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:45.759
two and the ninth inning to pick
up his seventh save of this season.

51
00:03:46.159 --> 00:03:50.599
River Ryan and no decision put pitch
Well into the sixth inning in his major

52
00:03:50.639 --> 00:03:53.919
league debut. Dodgers have now won
four in a row since the All Star

53
00:03:54.039 --> 00:03:58.919
Break. Tasker Hernandez in these four
games, betting four to twelve, He's

54
00:03:58.960 --> 00:04:02.919
seven for seventy in ops over twelve
hundred, two home runs, two doubles,

55
00:04:03.199 --> 00:04:09.000
and five ribbis. Tay Oscar Hernandez
is off to a great start post

56
00:04:09.039 --> 00:04:12.960
All Star Games. The Dodgers get
the win, improve to sixty and forty

57
00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:16.279
one, and tonight it's game two
of this four games set against San Francisco

58
00:04:16.519 --> 00:04:19.720
as the home stand continues. Landing
neck on the mound first pitch of seven

59
00:04:19.800 --> 00:04:24.040
ten and with more, let's head
out to the Galpin Motors broadcast both as

60
00:04:24.040 --> 00:04:28.399
we say hello and welcome in Steven
Nelson and Jose Mota. Guys, thank

61
00:04:28.439 --> 00:04:30.839
you Tim. With Jose Mota,
we're not sure about you. I'm not

62
00:04:30.879 --> 00:04:34.680
sure about anybody else out there.
I got enough gray hairs as it is.

63
00:04:34.759 --> 00:04:39.000
Jose. The radio listeners can't see
that. You just take my word

64
00:04:39.040 --> 00:04:42.839
for it. The Dodgers aren't helping
things of late. Six of their last

65
00:04:42.879 --> 00:04:46.519
seven games have been decided in the
eighth inning or later. So you want

66
00:04:46.519 --> 00:04:48.240
to be a good big league player, well, the tests are gonna come

67
00:04:48.279 --> 00:04:51.079
more when things are tight, when
you really you have to go out there

68
00:04:51.079 --> 00:04:55.639
and show your ability to slow the
game down. You won the ball hit

69
00:04:55.639 --> 00:04:58.360
to you on the defensive side.
You want to be the guy in the

70
00:04:58.399 --> 00:05:00.319
batters box when the game's on the
line. And then as a pitcher,

71
00:05:00.800 --> 00:05:04.920
you want to have the ability to
have the mentality to say I want the

72
00:05:04.920 --> 00:05:08.560
big spot and I'm gonna make that
great pace. So you know what,

73
00:05:08.680 --> 00:05:11.439
if you don't enjoy it, I
am. I know you are, yeah,

74
00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:14.519
but you know what the best thing
is we can talk about it,

75
00:05:14.759 --> 00:05:17.199
laugh about it because they're winning ball
games, and I think you're leading the

76
00:05:17.279 --> 00:05:21.360
way you talked about that, Jose
led me perfectly to the man of the

77
00:05:21.480 --> 00:05:26.600
night in game one. Who was
the player of the game was the Taoscar

78
00:05:26.680 --> 00:05:30.160
Hernandez show. The Tao show.
Three of the six hits, drove in

79
00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:33.519
all three runs in the game,
caught the last out, and proving again

80
00:05:33.639 --> 00:05:38.920
that he wants to be that guy. Where's that heartbeat? It just doesn't

81
00:05:39.120 --> 00:05:42.639
get to spit up at all.
He goes three for four, rest of

82
00:05:42.680 --> 00:05:47.240
the team goes three for twenty five, and again mentality and separation to Oscar

83
00:05:47.720 --> 00:05:51.319
has the knack. I will say
to say I want the game on the

84
00:05:51.360 --> 00:05:54.839
line, and also understand something else. He told me this in spring train,

85
00:05:54.879 --> 00:05:57.759
and he goes, when I look
at this lineup, I know that

86
00:05:57.800 --> 00:06:00.560
I'm going to get a lot of
opportunities because if I look one through five,

87
00:06:00.600 --> 00:06:03.279
if I'm paid him six, there's
gonna be plenty of Chenzis. We

88
00:06:03.480 --> 00:06:06.920
met on bass now he wasn't talking
about scoring position, but he goes,

89
00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:11.519
as a slugging team, you have
to be able to think as I do.

90
00:06:12.240 --> 00:06:15.319
Once you reach first base, Steven, you aren't scoring position, and

91
00:06:15.279 --> 00:06:19.279
was more particular to me as of
late as the adjustment seams made on making

92
00:06:19.360 --> 00:06:24.360
contact and sacrificing perhaps a little bit
of power, which really he hasn't,

93
00:06:24.560 --> 00:06:28.000
but the ability to just say,
I'm a small ball player right now,

94
00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:30.680
if I put the ball in play, it's going to be beneficials of my

95
00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:32.240
team. And there it is.
And he talked about how the derby has

96
00:06:32.279 --> 00:06:35.279
helped his swing. You you talked
about one Soda always said it fixed his

97
00:06:35.319 --> 00:06:40.319
swing at Dodger Stadium a couple of
years ago. Well, tasker Hernandez,

98
00:06:40.319 --> 00:06:43.560
it has helped his swing, added
some natural loft, not intentional, just

99
00:06:43.680 --> 00:06:46.959
naturally and out of the break he's
now seven for seventeen. And I'm glad

100
00:06:46.959 --> 00:06:51.040
that you brought it up because we
the Dodgers signed to Oskar Hernandez as a

101
00:06:51.040 --> 00:06:55.519
slugger. Fans know him in the
past for being a slugger thirty and one

102
00:06:55.600 --> 00:06:59.600
hundred. But as we saw last
night, not trying to hit it out

103
00:06:59.639 --> 00:07:01.480
to left field halfway up the bill
Villian as he did last night, but

104
00:07:01.560 --> 00:07:04.399
do that every time he's up there, take it up the middle. Know

105
00:07:04.519 --> 00:07:08.959
the situation went two outs. So
he has been a complete offensive player.

106
00:07:09.079 --> 00:07:12.240
And when that Dave Roberts just told
the media he was not he did not

107
00:07:12.360 --> 00:07:15.279
think that they were going to get
this type of guy here in his first

108
00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:16.439
year as a Dodger. He has
been that guy. And I don't know

109
00:07:16.480 --> 00:07:20.120
if you caught it. Tim a
word that Jose Mota used in that description

110
00:07:20.160 --> 00:07:26.240
of Tioscar Hernandez, he said,
nack nack, fitting as we have Land

111
00:07:26.279 --> 00:07:29.199
and Nack starting tonight for the Dodgers. When we come back to the booth,

112
00:07:29.360 --> 00:07:32.439
we'll talk about his most recent outing
and what to expect for the Giants

113
00:07:32.839 --> 00:07:35.800
against Jordan Hicks. All right,
thank you guys, as we count you

114
00:07:35.839 --> 00:07:40.120
down to first pitch. Dodger fans, Yeah, get your game day meal

the manager, Dave Roberts. We'll

Otani rewhy Well. The Dodgers got
the three to two win over the Giants

130
00:08:48.759 --> 00:08:52.320
last night. It was the tay
Oscars Show, going three for four,

131
00:08:52.639 --> 00:08:56.080
driving all three runs in for the
Dodgers, who only had six hits as

132
00:08:56.080 --> 00:09:00.279
a team, three of which came
from tay Oscar showo Tani last night zero

133

for three at the play diget on
base with the walk, now hitting three

Kirston Watson Hey Keirson Down joins this before

139
00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:30.600
game two of this four game series. Dodgers on a little bit of a

140
00:09:30.679 --> 00:09:33.720
roll of getting too that in a
second One of the big reasons why tay

141
00:09:33.799 --> 00:09:37.840
Oscar Hernandez Karsten continues to produce.
Yeah, he's been lights out. He

142
00:09:39.120 --> 00:09:43.440
is. He's that guy who he
walks up to the plate. He wants

143
00:09:43.480 --> 00:09:45.919
to be the guy who's going to
put this team, whether it's in a

144
00:09:45.960 --> 00:09:48.279
position to come back and win,
to get the win like he just wants

145
00:09:48.320 --> 00:09:52.399
to be the guy to step up
to give his teammates an opportunity to take

146
00:09:52.440 --> 00:09:56.279
home the w. And so yesterday
single handedly pretty much scored the runs he

147
00:09:56.320 --> 00:10:01.200
was getting. He was just so
efficient on the bases and at the plate.

148
00:10:01.240 --> 00:10:03.960
And so he is someone but talking
to him, you know, obviously

149
00:10:03.960 --> 00:10:07.799
he just won the home runner we
and there are a lot of ideas that,

150
00:10:07.159 --> 00:10:11.600
oh, you take part in the
derby, it messes up your swing,

151
00:10:11.720 --> 00:10:15.200
you overswing things like that, and
he was like, I don't know

152
00:10:15.240 --> 00:10:18.480
about all that made my swing better, got me right where he wants to

153
00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:20.399
be. So he's trying to put
the ball in the air. He felt

154
00:10:20.440 --> 00:10:22.679
that in the first half of the
season he wasn't really getting the extra base

155
00:10:22.759 --> 00:10:26.399
hits that he likes to. So
by being able to just kind of move

156
00:10:26.440 --> 00:10:30.000
the ball forward, like Dave likes
to say, and kind of put it

157
00:10:30.000 --> 00:10:33.720
in the air, he's been getting
those results and finding that consistency. So

158
00:10:33.000 --> 00:10:35.840
he feels really good at the plate, and it's just a matter of you

159
00:10:35.840 --> 00:10:39.240
know, yeah, you stick to
your approach, but when you get into

160
00:10:39.279 --> 00:10:41.000
big positions in which you can help
this team. He wants to be that

161
00:10:41.080 --> 00:10:45.279
guy, and he's shown that he
is that guy, no doubt about it.

162
00:10:45.320 --> 00:10:48.120
Guys like Keiki, Hernandez have been
big in these four games for the

163
00:10:48.159 --> 00:10:52.159
Dodgers post the All Star Break.
Collectively, this Dodgers team playing a lot

164
00:10:52.200 --> 00:10:54.799
better than they were pre All Star
Break. Yeah, going into the All

165
00:10:54.799 --> 00:10:58.080
Star break, you know, and
that was a tough week, whether it

166
00:10:58.120 --> 00:11:01.840
was getting swept in Philly, you
know, losing two of three against the

167
00:11:01.879 --> 00:11:07.080
Tigers in Detroit, and just how
they lost that final game in Detroit.

168
00:11:07.159 --> 00:11:09.799
It was almost it was like they
had it and then all of a sudden,

169
00:11:09.159 --> 00:11:13.440
literally someone pulled the rug from underneath
them, and you just kind of

170
00:11:13.519 --> 00:11:16.240
saw it fall apart right there,
and it was, you know, you

171
00:11:16.279 --> 00:11:20.559
don't often see a lot of frustration
coming out of these guys, but in

172
00:11:20.559 --> 00:11:24.840
that clubhouse, you not only could
you hear it and feel it, but

173
00:11:26.000 --> 00:11:28.919
like the guys, and I think
that was really important, I should say,

174
00:11:30.000 --> 00:11:33.879
for everyone to kind of express that
frustration, because then they went into

175
00:11:33.919 --> 00:11:35.879
the break. Some guys went to
the All Star Game. Other guys got

176
00:11:35.919 --> 00:11:39.799
to just go home, do with
family and take a breather. And then

177
00:11:39.840 --> 00:11:43.519
it allowed for them to come back
and get back on track right where they

178
00:11:43.519 --> 00:11:45.799
wanted to be. And they've come
out at the break high. Look.

179
00:11:46.120 --> 00:11:48.559
And even when I was talking to
Will Smith today and he was saying what

180
00:11:48.720 --> 00:11:52.080
he appreciates what these last four games, these have been tough games. It's

181
00:11:52.080 --> 00:11:56.639
not like they've just kind of blown
them out ten to two. Or whatever

182
00:11:56.679 --> 00:12:00.960
the case may be, against the
Red Sox coming from behind to get wins.

183
00:12:01.279 --> 00:12:05.279
Yesterday it was a tight game.
So there these have been situations in

184
00:12:05.279 --> 00:12:09.000
which they're proving not only to themselves
that you know, this is the team.

185
00:12:09.159 --> 00:12:13.559
They're starting to get more reinforcements back, Clayton Kershaw, Tyler Glassana is

186
00:12:13.559 --> 00:12:16.200
coming back, the bullpen's continuing to
get stronger. So it's just it's been

187
00:12:16.240 --> 00:12:20.080
a shift in a mindset and so
they just they're in such a better position

188
00:12:20.200 --> 00:12:24.279
right now, and honestly, they
might have needed just that little like,

189
00:12:24.399 --> 00:12:26.320
all right, we got to settle
back in and we know how good we

190
00:12:26.360 --> 00:12:28.879
are. Let's get back to it. And so we're seeing this team do

191
00:12:30.159 --> 00:12:31.480
just that, no doubt about it. Cairston, we appreciate well. Check

192

211
00:14:03.480 --> 00:14:05.879
All right, let's head back out
to Dodger Statum and check in with

212
00:14:05.919 --> 00:14:11.799
the Dodger Skipper. Questions for Dave
Dave, can you just describe Dave?

213
00:14:11.840 --> 00:14:18.960
Can you talk about the pressure in
the dugouts with Dave Robberts. I think

214
00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:22.399
the thing with Landon is, uh, you know, certainly there's pitch ability,

215
00:14:24.600 --> 00:14:28.080
there's a four pitch mix in there
with with really good command. And

216
00:14:28.399 --> 00:14:35.399
the challenge for him has always been
that he eases into the game and you

217
00:14:35.840 --> 00:14:41.279
try to feel your way into it, save energy, whatever it is.

218
00:14:41.679 --> 00:14:46.200
And so what he's done so well
this year is from pitch one to go

219
00:14:46.279 --> 00:14:54.279
out there aggressive and not hold anything
back. And so you know where he's

220
00:14:54.279 --> 00:14:58.679
at right now. I feel he's
got a good base that he can hold

221
00:14:58.720 --> 00:15:01.759
his stuff into this and like I
said yesterday, you know, get through

222
00:15:01.879 --> 00:15:05.679
twenty two, twenty three, twenty
four hitters. How that plays out tonight,

223
00:15:07.000 --> 00:15:09.519
No one has any idea, but
I do feel that, you know,

224
00:15:11.080 --> 00:15:13.600
we've kind of put him in a
position now that I think he can

225
00:15:13.600 --> 00:15:16.080
take that next step. Now it's
up Tim to go out there and perform.

226
00:15:16.320 --> 00:15:18.919
How valuable just have these young arms
beIN that's a Blaine and obviously we

227
00:15:18.960 --> 00:15:22.360
know that it's veteran's coming back in
the next two games, which is for

228
00:15:22.480 --> 00:15:26.519
them to kind of hold their own
and indeed such a have an impact.

229
00:15:26.559 --> 00:15:28.559
I guess the right is it's been
great. It's one it's been one of

230
00:15:28.600 --> 00:15:35.879
the big joys for me watching these
young pitchers develop, learn on the fly,

231
00:15:37.559 --> 00:15:41.240
you know, with a club like
ours, and so it's been a

232
00:15:41.240 --> 00:15:46.360
lot of fun. And these guys
are very mature. They watch, they

233
00:15:46.440 --> 00:15:50.320
use their eyes, they use their
ears, they ask the right questions and

234
00:15:50.840 --> 00:15:54.240
you know, it's it's translating to
performance. And so I think that,

235
00:15:54.639 --> 00:15:58.320
you know, in the short term, near term and in the long term,

236
00:15:58.399 --> 00:16:03.519
things are looking pretty good for us. Technically have a six man rotation

237
00:16:03.840 --> 00:16:07.000
right now. It's like kind of
technically right now, but I don't think

238
00:16:07.159 --> 00:16:11.120
we're trying to get too far ahead
of it. Obviously, we've got landing

239
00:16:11.159 --> 00:16:18.159
going tonight, then we've got glass
and then uh kursh so both those guys

240
00:16:18.200 --> 00:16:21.960
coming back, and then you've got
Stone going on Friday, and then we'll

241
00:16:22.039 --> 00:16:26.120
kind of figure out where we're at
there. You especially like a case my

242
00:16:26.200 --> 00:16:29.360
class howls and the other guys are
gonna have to manage ending twice a little

243
00:16:29.360 --> 00:16:33.000
bit late. Doesn't make more sense
to have a six man rotation the rest

244
00:16:33.000 --> 00:16:34.440
of the year, you get or
can you kind of go with the same

245
00:16:34.720 --> 00:16:38.039
way you have and and accomplish that. I think we can do what we've

246
00:16:38.080 --> 00:16:41.960
done. Uh, you know,
I think that the six man A lot

247
00:16:41.000 --> 00:16:45.919
of it is predicated on the schedule. And when you have consecutive days ten

248
00:16:47.080 --> 00:16:49.919
thirteen days in a row, you
know after this stretch we're gonna have some

249
00:16:49.919 --> 00:16:53.240
some off days coming. So it
just then you start to kind of put

250
00:16:53.320 --> 00:16:56.240
yourself in a position by pitches in
a position where they get too much rest.

251
00:16:56.639 --> 00:17:00.639
All right, there's Dave Roberts down
the dugout talking about his rotation with

252
00:17:00.679 --> 00:17:04.160
Glass now coming back and now Clayton
Kershaw expensed to pitch on Thursday as well.

253

on Dodgers on Deck. We'll check
in with the David vat Say as we

258
00:17:22.279 --> 00:17:26.720
lead Jeff to first pitch on this
Tuesday Night Dodgers and the Giants of Tim

259
00:17:26.759 --> 00:17:33.960
Kates's Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.
This is Marongo Casino, Dodgers on Deck

260
00:17:36.799 --> 00:17:41.240
on your home for the Blue all
season long, leading you up to first

261
00:17:41.240 --> 00:17:44.839
pitch Dodgers and Giants on this Tuesday
night, landing neck Jordan Hicks. The

262
00:17:44.880 --> 00:17:48.720
pitching matchup series and homestand will wrap
up on Thursday Tomorrow night kek her name

263
00:17:48.880 --> 00:17:55.599
is Bobblehead and night, let's check
in with David said, joining Tim Kates

264
00:17:55.599 --> 00:17:59.519
on Dodgers on Deck, I accept
everybody for who they are. This is

265
00:17:59.599 --> 00:18:03.880
Dodger inside there. David said,
all right, David, it's been a

266
00:18:03.920 --> 00:18:08.880
while since we've heard or seen Walker
Bueller. What's going on? Well,

267
00:18:08.920 --> 00:18:14.480
he threw a bullpen session today and
I was talking to Andrew Friedman earlier and

268
00:18:14.519 --> 00:18:18.680
he said his stuff is outstanding.
He just has to learn how to be

269
00:18:18.759 --> 00:18:22.240
more of a pitcher and rely on
that a lot more than what he did

270
00:18:22.319 --> 00:18:27.880
maybe before he had his second Tommy
John surgery. So the Dodgers are very

271
00:18:29.039 --> 00:18:34.680
optimistic about him after going to Florida
and resetting for about a month, that

272
00:18:34.799 --> 00:18:40.359
he's coming back with a clearer head
and a better pitcher. And I would

273
00:18:40.400 --> 00:18:45.480
expect Walker Buehler to be back pitching
in a game within the next week because

274
00:18:45.720 --> 00:18:51.480
part of the layers of the Dodgers
of cutting ties with James Paxton is because

275
00:18:51.839 --> 00:18:56.839
they're getting Tyler glass Now back tomorrow, Clayton Kershaw back on Thursday, and

276
00:18:56.960 --> 00:19:00.839
Walker Buehller shortly thereafter. So he's
on the horizon, and him throwing a

277
00:19:00.880 --> 00:19:06.559
bullpen session today tells me that he
is very close to pitching in a game.

278
00:19:06.880 --> 00:19:08.319
David is driven by four. If
there's one thing we like, it's

279
00:19:08.400 --> 00:19:12.000
choices. Find yours with the four
F one to fifty gas hybrid or all

280
00:19:12.039 --> 00:19:17.519
electric tough This mark can only be
called F one fifty. Next week is

281
00:19:17.519 --> 00:19:19.799
the trade deadline in baseball. David, how much do you think the next

282
00:19:19.880 --> 00:19:25.839
five to six days will determine who's
selling at the deadline? Well, talking

283
00:19:25.920 --> 00:19:30.480
to a few GMS around the league
today, Tim, they communicated to me

284
00:19:30.599 --> 00:19:34.640
that they believe the next five or
six days is going to be vital for

285
00:19:34.960 --> 00:19:40.400
teams to decide whether or not they
are buyers or sellers. And quite honestly,

286
00:19:40.720 --> 00:19:45.519
there are a lot of eyes on
Arlington, Texas and the Texas Rangers,

287
00:19:45.599 --> 00:19:49.000
who obviously are the defending World Series
champions. They have had a lot

288
00:19:49.000 --> 00:19:53.640
of injuries to their position players.
They have not gotten Jacob deGrom back,

289
00:19:53.960 --> 00:19:59.880
they were waiting for Max Scherzer,
and right now they're under five hundred se

290
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:04.079
having games back in the Wildcard race, four games back in a really poor

291
00:20:04.200 --> 00:20:10.160
Al West and going into the All
Star Break. I had heard that Chris

292
00:20:10.240 --> 00:20:15.720
Young their GM was still defiant in
being a seller, but if they continue

293
00:20:15.720 --> 00:20:19.799
to go downwards here in the next
five or six days, he may change

294
00:20:19.839 --> 00:20:26.319
his position. And former Dodger Nathan
Evaldi certainly would be a very attractive starting

295
00:20:26.359 --> 00:20:30.440
pitcher, not only for the Dodgers, but maybe the Yankees as well.

296
00:20:30.559 --> 00:20:36.720
So Nathan Avaldi, who is a
proven big game pitcher in October, would

297
00:20:36.759 --> 00:20:41.680
be very attractive. David, is
there a certain NL Central team that is

298
00:20:41.119 --> 00:20:45.680
maybe looking at some of the Dodgers
down the farm. Yeah. I found

299
00:20:45.680 --> 00:20:52.119
out that the Chicago Cubs TIM are
scouting this week all levels of the Dodgers'

300
00:20:52.200 --> 00:20:56.119
farm system. And you may say, well, who might they be wanting

301
00:20:56.160 --> 00:21:00.079
from the Dodgers, and who do
the Dodgers want from the Cubs. It

302
00:21:00.119 --> 00:21:04.920
feels like it wouldn't be Cody Bellinger. Ian Happ is an interesting outfielder and

303
00:21:06.079 --> 00:21:11.599
also infielder Nico Horner, who could
play second base and shortstop. The Dodgers

304
00:21:11.640 --> 00:21:15.480
are not just looking for an outfield
bat, maybe looking to add to their

305
00:21:15.519 --> 00:21:21.480
infield depth as well, So Nico
Honer, Nico Horner, and Ian hat

306
00:21:21.519 --> 00:21:26.039
might be names that may interest the
Dodgers. We'll find out the trade deadline

307
00:21:26.079 --> 00:21:27.559
one week away, David, we
appreciate it. We will check in with

321
00:22:37.599 --> 00:22:41.000
the Dodgers. Yeah, it was
that year that was shortened by COVID,

322
00:22:41.480 --> 00:22:45.319
the Dodgers taking on the Giants.
And what was the season opener four years

323
00:22:45.319 --> 00:22:51.200
ago? Tonight? What a night
for KIK. That's a relatively new addition

326
00:23:02.400 --> 00:23:07.720

Dodger Rick Monday. Rick Monday Well rejoin

344
00:24:33.319 --> 00:24:41.160
the Dodgers in Houston after the finale
of this homestand on Thursday Jose Mota alongside

345
00:24:41.160 --> 00:24:45.440
Steven Nelson. Tonight and Jose,
the Dodgers are looking to make it five

346
00:24:45.480 --> 00:24:48.759
in a row and they might have
a chance to make this a very long

347
00:24:48.799 --> 00:24:51.720
winning streak. I think it's great
when you can go back there and say,

348
00:24:51.759 --> 00:24:53.400
well, they can base it all
off how guys have started on the

349
00:24:53.440 --> 00:24:57.079
mound and how much the starters have
to contributed. You know, the main

350
00:24:57.119 --> 00:25:02.000
thing has been todated strike one and
then leading to strike two. And the

351
00:25:02.039 --> 00:25:06.240
fact is that also when guys are
falling behind, and I'm talking starters,

352
00:25:06.640 --> 00:25:10.319
they go back to finding a way
that it's not necessarily a fastball to get

353
00:25:10.359 --> 00:25:14.039
back into counts. And I think
it's a sign of maturity and a confidence

354
00:25:14.079 --> 00:25:18.680
and also the information they're getting from
Mike Pryor and McGinnis is about, hey,

355
00:25:18.240 --> 00:25:21.920
you're here, because he can control
more than one pitch. Remember that,

356
00:25:21.960 --> 00:25:25.480
guys on Fastfool will sit you and
they know very well and to me

357
00:25:25.599 --> 00:25:29.079
has been very impressive on the way
at least they're getting into counts, getting

358
00:25:29.079 --> 00:25:32.160
back to evening counts, and also
finishing off hitters. I've got a question

359
00:25:32.279 --> 00:25:36.559
for you. Last night River Ryan
had two or three strikeouts, yet he

360
00:25:36.640 --> 00:25:40.920
was throwing ninety seven ninety eight.
How does that add up when a pitcher's

361
00:25:40.960 --> 00:25:45.720
throwing that hard and only has that
amount of strikeouts. I think it relates

362
00:25:45.720 --> 00:25:48.319
to the Bobby Miller syndrome. Same
thing too, guys can see the ball

363
00:25:48.359 --> 00:25:52.920
out of your hand, Well,
you don't have that little extra zip to

364
00:25:52.079 --> 00:25:59.480
get beyond barrels either above or below. And then location two, you're gonna

365
00:25:59.480 --> 00:26:02.680
miss a lot of barrels. When
you set up a hitter, say from

366
00:26:02.720 --> 00:26:06.680
the letters up to the shoulders.
Now that fastball with the letters, when

367
00:26:06.720 --> 00:26:08.319
you elevate a little bit more,
he says, there it is again,

368
00:26:08.359 --> 00:26:12.680
and just two or three inches it's
gonna happen. But also sequencing and setting

369
00:26:12.720 --> 00:26:17.440
up a hitter, remember there's something
called speeding up a vet, which is

370
00:26:17.480 --> 00:26:19.319
when you throw the off speed right
and you got you got a guy that

371
00:26:19.400 --> 00:26:22.519
saying I haven't, but you speed
up this bet for a reason because you

372
00:26:22.559 --> 00:26:26.160
want to come back with a cheeese
right with the fastball, and all those

373
00:26:26.160 --> 00:26:29.200
things are learned through the process.
Same thing with the I mentioned Bobby Miller

374
00:26:29.200 --> 00:26:32.759
because people wonder ninety nine, how
is he not missing best this? It'll

375
00:26:32.799 --> 00:26:36.079
come with time, all right.
At the Dodger bullpen, we saw peek

376
00:26:36.119 --> 00:26:40.400
into what Dave Roberts was thinking.
Daniel Hudson comes in to the ninth inning

377
00:26:40.480 --> 00:26:45.279
last night. Obviously Evan Phillips is
working through something. Jose, How difficult

378
00:26:45.359 --> 00:26:49.119
is it for a reliever that is
counted on for big outs to be able

379
00:26:49.160 --> 00:26:55.440
to try to work through whatever pitching
mechanics he's going through yet be available to

380
00:26:55.480 --> 00:26:57.400
pitching games. It's hard, Dave, And I'll tell you that. You

381
00:26:57.440 --> 00:27:00.640
can plan it out. All you
want is say, hey, I'm gonna

382
00:27:00.680 --> 00:27:04.359
get him high leverage situations. That's
if the game calls for that. You

383
00:27:04.400 --> 00:27:07.440
don't know what the game's gonna call
for later, when maybe you have a

384
00:27:07.480 --> 00:27:11.519
tight ball game in the tenth inning, you're like, he's my choice.

385
00:27:11.559 --> 00:27:14.680
And it is a high leveraged situation, so you have to map it out

386
00:27:14.960 --> 00:27:18.000
in a way in which you're also
the one to use him way too early

387
00:27:18.119 --> 00:27:21.640
to say I just wanted to get
working because he still wanted our premier arms.

388
00:27:21.680 --> 00:27:25.480
Right, And then if you bury
him too much, and the mentality

389
00:27:25.559 --> 00:27:29.160
is why may not being used in
better situations though, right. So it's

390
00:27:29.200 --> 00:27:32.920
a delicate balance. But for the
picture himself, it's a matter of saying,

391
00:27:33.000 --> 00:27:34.759
what is it that I need to
do. I'm not gonna take it

392
00:27:34.799 --> 00:27:37.519
personal when they use me, but
I have to get better at something.

393
00:27:37.559 --> 00:27:41.599
So it's a delicate balance. You've
gotta be careful of the emotions. But

394
00:27:41.640 --> 00:27:44.640
at the same time, no one
explained to that person, Hey, this

395
00:27:44.680 --> 00:27:47.200
is why I'm doing it. I'm
gonna just skip you. I want you

396
00:27:47.240 --> 00:27:49.519
to get some work in, but
you gotta find the ability because I want

397
00:27:49.519 --> 00:27:53.480
to use you in those situations again, all right, jose Motive, before

398
00:27:53.480 --> 00:27:57.480
we let you go. I talk
to your dad almost every day and he

399
00:27:57.599 --> 00:28:02.599
always asks me who's my player tonight? And I try to pick a wide

400
00:28:02.680 --> 00:28:04.960
variety of players. Okay, but
your dad, Manny Mota, the great

401
00:28:06.000 --> 00:28:10.000
Manny Mota. He always says show, Hey Otani. I say, come

402
00:28:10.039 --> 00:28:11.920
on, Manny, pick another game, pick another player. He goes with

403
00:28:11.960 --> 00:28:15.319
the easy one of them. Yeah, you say to one hundred and sixty

404
00:28:15.319 --> 00:28:17.680
two times. He's gotta be right
a lot of times. Yeah, right,

405
00:28:18.279 --> 00:28:19.880
we can all pick Otani every night. It's like I said, yeah,

406
00:28:19.880 --> 00:28:23.440
I have about Gavin Lucks tonight.
Okay, Gavin looks I'll go because

407
00:28:23.440 --> 00:28:26.319
he was the player of the week. He goes, No, I like

408
00:28:26.359 --> 00:28:30.559
Gavin Lucks. Thanks. They always
great to see your dad here every night.

be vass a fielding insults from a Dodger

430
00:30:03.720 --> 00:30:07.119
player. It's an engagement of endearment. This this high and tucked. All

431
00:30:07.240 --> 00:30:11.039
right, I'm here with the big
sexy Gavin Lux, who is feeling sexy

432
00:30:11.079 --> 00:30:15.359
these days at the plate. Thanks
a lot for the time, Appreciate it

433
00:30:15.480 --> 00:30:18.720
always for you, Dave. Oh
yeah, it feels like sexy is another

434
00:30:18.759 --> 00:30:23.119
word for confident. You feel like
the confidence is getting back and you're trusting

435
00:30:23.160 --> 00:30:26.480
what your legs can do for you. Yeah, I mean, for sure.

436
00:30:26.519 --> 00:30:29.720
I think just you know, kind
of going over the course of the

437
00:30:29.799 --> 00:30:32.759
year and more at bats, you
get the kind of better you feel,

438
00:30:32.839 --> 00:30:37.160
and you start to figure stuff out
in the game. Instead of you know,

439
00:30:37.400 --> 00:30:38.519
using the cage and trying to figure
it out, you kind of actually

440
00:30:38.519 --> 00:30:41.680
figured it out in the game and
try to figure out your feels whatever it

441
00:30:41.720 --> 00:30:45.440
is. So uh yeah, I
think you know, the last price since

442
00:30:45.480 --> 00:30:48.359
Philly, it's been pretty good.
So just keep trying to ride the momentum

443
00:30:48.400 --> 00:30:52.920
and hopefully you can just keep carrying
it on during the All Star breaks.

444
00:30:52.920 --> 00:30:56.359
Since you are the pride of Kenosha, Wisconsin, what'd you do? Take

445
00:30:56.400 --> 00:30:59.480
the boat out on Lake Michigan,
you know, take the whole Lux family

446
00:30:59.519 --> 00:31:03.759
out there. No, I actually
went back home where my house is now.

447
00:31:03.960 --> 00:31:07.559
I'm not gonna stay where in Wisconsin. But yeah, and I just

448
00:31:07.880 --> 00:31:12.119
had a cookout a bunch of my
buddies, family, my fiance, Miley,

449
00:31:12.200 --> 00:31:17.400
her family, her friends. So
one of those nights that was good.

450
00:31:17.400 --> 00:31:18.799
And then I got to hit with
my uncle, who has kind of

451
00:31:18.799 --> 00:31:22.839
been my hitting coach, you know, ever since I was a little kid,

452
00:31:22.920 --> 00:31:25.440
So that helped too. And then
I think, you know, just

453
00:31:25.440 --> 00:31:27.680
getting a mental reset away from baseball
for a couple of days always helps.

454
00:31:27.880 --> 00:31:32.559
How much custard was served at the
luxe party, No custard, but a

455
00:31:32.559 --> 00:31:36.440
lot of a lot of beers,
brots and burgers. Man, a lot

456
00:31:36.440 --> 00:31:38.559
of that. No no custard though, all right, since Milwaukee has known

457
00:31:38.599 --> 00:31:42.400
for the brots. I actually learned
my recipe from my in laws. They're

458
00:31:42.519 --> 00:31:47.440
from the same area that your family's
from. They kind of taught me how

459
00:31:47.440 --> 00:31:51.640
to make the brots. Can you
give us the lux family recipe on brotz?

460
00:31:51.920 --> 00:31:52.559
I don't think we have one.
Man, We just go to the

461
00:31:52.720 --> 00:31:56.759
go to the store and get whatever
we see. I don't know, my

462
00:31:56.799 --> 00:31:59.480
family doesn't know how to cook like
that, so I just, you know,

463
00:31:59.720 --> 00:32:00.759
I go get them from the store
and then throw them on the grill.

464
00:32:01.079 --> 00:32:06.079
Now, I actually boil them with
beer onions and then put them on

465
00:32:06.119 --> 00:32:07.680
the grill. Get that char that's
fair. I mean, that's that's the

466
00:32:07.720 --> 00:32:10.519
true Wisconsin way. I can't I
can't claim I do that. I'd be

467
00:32:10.599 --> 00:32:15.200
lying to you. Gavin lux is
our guest. You talk about the mental

468
00:32:15.240 --> 00:32:19.440
reset. You guys come out of
the break now winning four in a row.

469
00:32:19.519 --> 00:32:22.400
It feels like this team is starting
to get their swagger back. Is

470
00:32:22.440 --> 00:32:25.960
that just coming with the wins or
how you're winning these games? Uh?

471
00:32:27.240 --> 00:32:29.759
You know, I think a little
bit of both. Going into the break,

472
00:32:29.799 --> 00:32:31.200
obviously we lost a couple of tough
ones that we probably you know,

473
00:32:31.279 --> 00:32:35.079
wish we had back. But I
mean, baseball is just it's so up

474
00:32:35.119 --> 00:32:37.480
and down, and you know,
I think even you know, people thought

475
00:32:37.519 --> 00:32:39.160
like, oh, it's the end
of the world, and I look at

476
00:32:39.200 --> 00:32:44.519
the standings and we're still eight games
up and you know, twenty wins over

477
00:32:44.559 --> 00:32:45.759
five hundred, so it's never as
bad as you think it is. And

478
00:32:46.480 --> 00:32:49.440
yeah, I think, you know, we gotta have a couple of good

479
00:32:49.480 --> 00:32:52.160
wins against the Red Sox where we
came back and fought our ass off to

480
00:32:52.160 --> 00:32:57.039
to win those ones. And then
even yesterday Tayo with three huge hits,

481
00:32:57.039 --> 00:32:59.799
and you know, just little things
like that over the course of the year.

482
00:33:00.119 --> 00:33:02.160
Try to keep saying to like ride
the wave, and I think you

483
00:33:02.200 --> 00:33:05.200
know, our team's doing that,
and we're gonna get healthy at the right

484
00:33:05.200 --> 00:33:07.480
time and then hopefully just keep rolling
like that. Kevin Lux, that's what

485
00:33:07.640 --> 00:33:12.400
he's been doing, fighting his ass
off every day. Yeah, and out

486
00:33:12.400 --> 00:33:15.319
here, you're out here every day
since the beginning of spring training trying to

487
00:33:15.359 --> 00:33:21.319
get better. Can you describe the
level of accountability you have for yourself and

488
00:33:21.599 --> 00:33:23.440
your teammates have for each other.
Yeah, I think you know, no

489
00:33:23.480 --> 00:33:29.680
one's harder on ourselves than we are
internally as you know, individual players,

490
00:33:29.720 --> 00:33:32.400
So you know we as a team
and I think you know, the work

491
00:33:32.400 --> 00:33:36.319
ethic is contagious. I mean,
you look out on the field every day.

492
00:33:36.400 --> 00:33:38.720
Keyk's out of her early, Mooki's
out of here early. Vargie and

493
00:33:39.079 --> 00:33:43.000
Pahes are out here, like everyone's
out here early, getting getting stuff done.

494
00:33:43.079 --> 00:33:45.759
And you know, I think you
look around the league and not every

495
00:33:45.759 --> 00:33:47.880
team is like that. So I
think just the work ethic is contagious,

496
00:33:47.880 --> 00:33:51.839
and I think we just kind of
feed off that from each other, right

497
00:33:51.920 --> 00:33:54.480
Kevin, Thanks a lot for the
time. Appreciate it. You're dripping sweat

498
00:33:54.559 --> 00:33:58.880
before first pitch. You got a
game tonight, and look how much work

499
00:33:58.880 --> 00:34:01.279
you put in already Ready when every
day, baby, when every day love

500
00:34:01.319 --> 00:34:04.920
it. Gavin Lux is winning the
day. Thanks a lot for the time.

501
00:34:05.000 --> 00:34:07.480
And you know we're always rooting for
you, always, my guy,

502
00:34:08.079 --> 00:34:12.159
the big Sexy Gavin Lux. We'll
send it back to you in the studio.

503
00:34:12.199 --> 00:34:14.760

Knight Shaky's dot Com lead you up

506
00:34:22.920 --> 00:34:27.920

507
00:34:28.000 --> 00:34:30.719
to this pitching matchup. Don't go
anywhere. I'm Tim Katsi's Los Angeles Dodgers

508
00:34:30.840 --> 00:34:40.480
Audio. Notway. This is Marongo
Casino Dodgers on tap on your home for

509
00:34:40.599 --> 00:34:47.199
the Blue all season long. It's
the Dodgers and the Giants. Game two

510
00:34:47.239 --> 00:34:51.760
of this four game set. Dodgers
winners of four in a row after the

511
00:34:51.840 --> 00:34:53.639
All Star Break, going tonight with
an eight and a half game leading the

512
00:34:53.679 --> 00:35:00.000
division. First pitch coming up at
seven ten, and now before the Dodger

513
00:35:00.079 --> 00:35:04.480
years hit the dining, we look
at the pitching matchup presented by your Southern

514
00:35:04.480 --> 00:35:08.920
California Toyota Dealers, turning your trail
dominating off roading dreams into a reality in

515
00:35:08.960 --> 00:35:13.360
the all new twenty twenty four Tacoma. See your Toyota Dealers today, They

516
00:35:13.400 --> 00:35:16.239
make it easy. Jordan Hicks on
the mound four and six with a three

517
00:35:16.400 --> 00:35:21.320
seventy nine ERA, twenty seven year
old right hand in his seventh season now

518
00:35:21.400 --> 00:35:23.360
in the big leagues, is first
with the Giants, came up with the

519
00:35:23.400 --> 00:35:28.199
Cardinals. There was a sinker,
a sweeper, and a split finger fastball.

520
00:35:28.480 --> 00:35:30.840
Making his twentieth start of the season. He's now transitioned from a relief

521
00:35:30.840 --> 00:35:36.800
pitcher into a traditional starter this year. He's made twenty seven career starts in

522
00:35:37.480 --> 00:35:42.360
seven years, nineteen of which have
come this year. Hicks has pitched five

523
00:35:42.360 --> 00:35:45.599
plus innings, or more than fourteen
of his nineteen starts this year. Last

524
00:35:45.599 --> 00:35:47.280
time out before the All Star Break, four and third innings, five runs,

525
00:35:47.320 --> 00:35:51.000
eight hits. That was in a
loss of the Blue Jays. He's

526
00:35:51.000 --> 00:35:54.519
making his tenth career appearance, third
career start against the Dodgers tonight. He

527
00:35:54.519 --> 00:35:58.519
held the Dodgers to a two toh
eight average over his career with twenty one

528
00:35:58.559 --> 00:36:02.159
strikeouts. His first starts of the
Dodgers this year came back on May thirteenth,

529
00:36:02.280 --> 00:36:07.199
where he allowed two earned runs on
seven hits over five innings of work

530
00:36:07.719 --> 00:36:10.800
Landon Knack on the mound. For
the Dodgers. He's one and two with

531
00:36:10.960 --> 00:36:15.280
a three twenty three ERA. Twenty
seven year old rookie right hander second round

532
00:36:15.280 --> 00:36:20.400
pick in twenty twenty out of East
Tennessee State, making his eight start,

533
00:36:20.760 --> 00:36:23.480
ninth appearance here at the big league
level. He tossed four to third innings

534
00:36:23.480 --> 00:36:28.000
in his last outing against Philadelphia before
the All Star Break, giving him three

535
00:36:28.000 --> 00:36:30.960
earned runs, six hits and striking
out five after entering the game as the

536
00:36:31.039 --> 00:36:35.679
bulk inning guy in the second inning. He's facing the Giants for the second

537
00:36:35.719 --> 00:36:38.039
time in his major league career.
He last pitched against him on June twenty

538
00:36:38.119 --> 00:36:42.880
eighth at Oracle Park. He took
the loss after allowing just one earned run

539
00:36:42.920 --> 00:36:45.079
on five hits through four and two
third innings. He struck out his season

540
00:36:45.159 --> 00:36:50.960
high seven batters in that game on
seventy six pitches. So it's Landon Knack

541
00:36:51.119 --> 00:36:58.119
and Jordan Hicks the pitching matchup.
Dodgers Giants were fifteen minutes away. First

542

550
00:37:38.119 --> 00:37:40.920
first pitch, we head back out
to the booth. Stephen Nelson, Jose

551
00:37:42.039 --> 00:37:46.119
Mota, guys, thank you TC. We know that everybody is looking forward

552
00:37:46.119 --> 00:37:50.719
to the next two days, Game
three and four of this series of the

553
00:37:50.760 --> 00:37:55.000
Dodgers against the Giants, because it
means the returns of Tyler Glass now and

554
00:37:55.159 --> 00:38:00.960
Clayton Kershaw, the season debut of
the future first ballot Animus Hall of Famer

555
00:38:00.000 --> 00:38:07.760
Clayton Kershaw. But we cannot overlook
tonight's Game two starter Landon Neck Jose Mota.

556
00:38:07.039 --> 00:38:12.840
This will be his eighth start,
ninth appearance overall. The home run

557
00:38:12.880 --> 00:38:16.199
ball has bitten him through throughout this
year. What are you looking forward to

558
00:38:16.199 --> 00:38:20.639
tonight? Out of the Dodgers right
hand? When that lineup turns around second

559
00:38:20.639 --> 00:38:22.840
time, third time, I want
him to show Dave Roberts and Mark Pryor

560
00:38:22.880 --> 00:38:27.239
that he still has stuff to get
people out another time. So he has

561
00:38:27.320 --> 00:38:29.639
not pitch all that deeply. Ninety
four pitches, Max, that was the

562
00:38:29.639 --> 00:38:32.239
second start of the Big leagues,
and the reason is he faced the Giants

563
00:38:32.239 --> 00:38:37.559
three starts ago. The outs were
hard outs, and that's just an indication

564
00:38:37.639 --> 00:38:40.119
that your stuff is playing okay,
and e've been fortunate, right. But

565
00:38:40.559 --> 00:38:45.239
he's got the stuff to number one, throw three pitches for strikes. Number

566
00:38:45.280 --> 00:38:49.840
two is he's got enough basketball to
make second their pitches much better. But

567
00:38:49.920 --> 00:38:53.480
he's got to show once again that
competition is good. Guess what he's got

568
00:38:53.480 --> 00:38:58.800
to follow Gavin Stone, Justin Robleski. He's got to follow Paxson and River

569
00:38:58.880 --> 00:39:00.559
Ryan on what they've done on the
first four games out of the break,

570
00:39:00.639 --> 00:39:04.119
because perhaps he wants to be a
part of that too. I'm glad you

571
00:39:04.159 --> 00:39:09.039
brought up the link for Landonak.
He's completed five innings in just four of

572
00:39:09.079 --> 00:39:14.079
his eight appearances so far this year. But it does sound like Dave Roberts

573
00:39:14.079 --> 00:39:17.559
and the Dodgers are more comfortable giving
him that leash to go a little deeper.

574
00:39:17.920 --> 00:39:22.239
They feel like his stuff can hold
into the sixth inning. We'll see

575
00:39:22.239 --> 00:39:24.159
how the game plays out, of
course, and we'll see what we get

576
00:39:24.199 --> 00:39:29.280
from Jordan Hicks. The Dodgers will
face the converted reliever, long time cardinal

577
00:39:29.400 --> 00:39:32.079
Jordan Hicks. The Giants signed him
and turn him into a starter, but

578
00:39:32.119 --> 00:39:36.639
this will be his last turn in
the starting rotation for now, as they're

579
00:39:36.639 --> 00:39:38.079
going to push him back into the
bullpen, probably be a piggyback, a

580
00:39:38.119 --> 00:39:42.079
bulk guy of sort the rest of
the way. But this is a guy

581
00:39:42.119 --> 00:39:45.039
we've seen with some electricity in the
back end against Saint Louis. Now we'll

582
00:39:45.039 --> 00:39:49.159
see him as a starter for the
Giants, big sinkerball, So he's catching

583
00:39:49.199 --> 00:39:51.639
up with those innings so right now, July has not been very good for

584
00:39:51.719 --> 00:39:54.440
him two seven point seventy and the
Dodgers need to make him elevate the baseball

585
00:39:54.760 --> 00:39:59.360
all right, So game two for
the Dodgers and Giants coming up shortly,

586
00:40:00.119 --> 00:40:04.480
trying to improve to two to zero
in this final series against their arch rivals

587
00:40:04.480 --> 00:40:07.840
from NorCal. All right, thank
you, guys. Dodgers start the night

588
00:40:07.960 --> 00:40:12.480
sixty and forty one. An eight
game lead now is the Padres have won.

589
00:40:13.039 --> 00:40:16.119
Padres playing on the East Coast,
that game has gone final as they

590
00:40:16.119 --> 00:40:21.800
beat the Washington Nationals four to nothing. So a half game pickup by the

591
00:40:21.840 --> 00:40:25.440
Padres. Dodgers going into action tonight, an eight game leading the division over

592
00:40:25.480 --> 00:40:29.800
the Padres, nine games up in
the Diamondbacks, twelve games up on the

593
00:40:29.840 --> 00:40:35.840
Giants and the Rockies. Thanks for
playing twenty three games back in the division.

594
00:40:36.000 --> 00:40:39.039
First pitch is next landon knack on
the mound when we come back,

595
