00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:07.879
And now your host for Morongo Casino
Dodgers on Tech, Tam kays Hi,

2
00:00:07.960 --> 00:00:12.880
everybody, and welcome in to Morongo
Casino Dodgers on Deck. I hope you're

3
00:00:12.960 --> 00:00:17.559
enjoying this Wednesday afternoon. You're Los
Angeles Dodgers fifty five up, thirty seven

4
00:00:17.640 --> 00:00:21.600
down, first place at top the
NL West. After a night though to

5
00:00:21.679 --> 00:00:26.079
forgetting Philadelphia, the Dodgers are back
at it today at Citizens Being Park.

6
00:00:26.239 --> 00:00:30.000
Kevin Stone on the mound, game
two of this three game set against the

7
00:00:30.039 --> 00:00:33.359
Fight and Phills. First pitch coming
up at four to oh five. Between

8
00:00:33.359 --> 00:00:35.880
now and then, we got a
lot to get to here. On Marongo

9
00:00:35.920 --> 00:00:39.359
Casino Dodgers on Deck, we'll hear
from the manager, Dave Roberts. We'll

10
00:00:39.359 --> 00:00:42.679
go high and tight with David Veasse. DV will check in of course throughout

11
00:00:42.719 --> 00:00:46.119
the show. Shortly we'll hear from
Kirsten Watson, and in just a few

12
00:00:46.119 --> 00:00:50.000
minutes we'll check out with Rick Monday
and Tim Never at the gallupin Motors Broadcast

13
00:00:50.119 --> 00:00:53.600
booth. Well, last night,
Bobby Ice was cooled off by the Phillies

14
00:00:53.880 --> 00:00:57.240
as the Dodgers got boat race.
Bobby Miller got the start and the right

15
00:00:57.280 --> 00:01:00.640
hander started off okay. He put
up a zero in the first, got

16
00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:03.439
the first two batters out in the
second inning before trouble, a walk,

17
00:01:03.519 --> 00:01:07.200
stolen base, an RBI single two
batters later, Kyle Schwarber a two run

18
00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:11.079
single in the Phillies with three runs
in the second inning, had the lead,

19
00:01:11.159 --> 00:01:14.879
and they did it with two outs
in the fourth. The wheels really

20
00:01:14.920 --> 00:01:19.040
fell off though for Bobby Miller.
First two batters reached base, then Rojas

21
00:01:19.079 --> 00:01:22.319
and RBI single. Phillies up four
to nothing, and that wasn't even close

22
00:01:22.359 --> 00:01:26.920
to being done. After a walk
to Schwarber, Bobby Miller looked the basis

23
00:01:26.959 --> 00:01:30.040
and up came Trade Turner and Miller
in a whole heap of trouble here in

24
00:01:30.079 --> 00:01:34.439
the fourth. And this one hit
high in the air, deep to left,

25
00:01:34.439 --> 00:01:38.400
toward the corner. Vargas back to
the wall. That's a grand slam.

26
00:01:38.840 --> 00:01:42.680
Tray Turner has hit a grand slam
and doubled the score. It is

27
00:01:42.840 --> 00:01:49.719
eight to nothing. First pitch he
sees from Bobby Miller, he hits it

28
00:01:49.760 --> 00:01:53.799
out grand slam for the former Dodger
Trade Turner. Phillies with five runs in

29
00:01:53.840 --> 00:01:57.239
the fourth take an eight to nothing
lead, and they still weren't done.

30
00:01:57.280 --> 00:02:01.400
Later in the inning, Bryson Stock
a solo home run to right. Phillies

31
00:02:01.519 --> 00:02:06.879
a ninth spot they lead to Dodgers
nine to nothing. It was a rough

32
00:02:06.920 --> 00:02:09.360
outing for Bobby Miller. Four innings, nine runs, ten hits. He

33
00:02:09.479 --> 00:02:14.800
left after eighty seven pitches. The
Dodgers offense didn't do much. The long

34
00:02:14.960 --> 00:02:17.719
run they got came into fifth thanks
to Cavin Bigio. Here it comes the

35
00:02:17.759 --> 00:02:22.159
next offer. It swung on well, hit to right, going back as

36
00:02:22.240 --> 00:02:24.840
Castillanos, he's to the wall.
It's gone. Bizio with a home run

37
00:02:25.719 --> 00:02:30.039
and the Dodgers get on the board. It's nine to one. Third home

38
00:02:30.120 --> 00:02:35.039
run of the season and first as
a Dodger for Calvin Biggio. Solo home

39
00:02:35.120 --> 00:02:38.120
run for Bizio, his third of
this season. Dodgers finally on the board,

40
00:02:38.120 --> 00:02:42.439
but they were down ten to one, and they had more chances but

41
00:02:42.680 --> 00:02:46.159
couldn't get that big hit. They
stranded twelve base runners. They go zero

42
00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:50.039
for eleven of the runners in scoring
positions. The Phillies wo attack on another

43
00:02:50.120 --> 00:02:53.240
run. They go up ten to
one and win by that same final score.

44
00:02:53.800 --> 00:02:55.039
It was all said and done.
The Dodgers had to go to keyk

45
00:02:55.199 --> 00:02:59.560
Hernandez, who pitched an inning in
a third in relief and actually retired every

46
00:02:59.560 --> 00:03:02.360
batter that face. Phillies get the
win. The good news is the Dodgers

47
00:03:02.400 --> 00:03:06.840
lose yesterday big, but today,
well it's a new day. It's a

48
00:03:06.840 --> 00:03:08.599
new game. Yesterday it was just
one of one to sixty two Dodgers.

49
00:03:08.599 --> 00:03:12.879
Phillies back at it from Citizens Bank, part Gavin Stone on the mound,

50
00:03:12.960 --> 00:03:15.240
first pitch at four five and with
more than head out to the Gallpin Motors

51
00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:20.280
broadcast booth, as we say hello
to Rick Monday and Tim Never guys,

52
00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:23.800
thank you Tim. Beautiful night,
A little on the warm side, a

53
00:03:23.800 --> 00:03:27.159
little on the human side here in
Philadelphia, as the Dodgers trying to even

54
00:03:27.240 --> 00:03:30.000
up this series at a game of
piece last night, not their night,

55
00:03:30.120 --> 00:03:34.560
ten to one, on the wrong
side of that score, Trey Turner hitting

56
00:03:34.560 --> 00:03:37.800
a grand slam for Philadelphia. But
it's a new day, it's a new

57
00:03:37.879 --> 00:03:42.000
night, and the Dodgers will put
their fifty five and thirty seven record on

58
00:03:42.039 --> 00:03:46.039
the line against the Phillies fifty nine
and thirty two record, both teams leading

59
00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:51.960
their respective divisions by seven and a
half games. Christopher Sanchez, the lefty

60
00:03:52.039 --> 00:03:54.560
for Philadelphia pitches. He is six
and four and a two nine four ERA,

61
00:03:54.680 --> 00:03:58.919
has been very good at home.
He will take on Gavin Stone,

62
00:03:58.960 --> 00:04:02.159
who is looking to pick up his
tenth win of the season before the All

63
00:04:02.159 --> 00:04:08.400
Star break. Stone is nine and
two ERA just a little bit over three,

64
00:04:08.439 --> 00:04:11.800
and he's been pitching well on the
road. Well, the news of

65
00:04:11.800 --> 00:04:14.879
the day has to do with pitching
mall and it has to do with Bobby

66
00:04:14.919 --> 00:04:17.399
Miller. Miller last night suffered the
loss. He only went four innings,

67
00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:23.120
allowed nine earned runs on ten hits, and today he was optioned back to

68
00:04:23.160 --> 00:04:26.639
Triple A. Option back to Triple
A, and you start to look at

69
00:04:27.040 --> 00:04:31.439
a Miller since he returned from the
injured list an ERA of nine point eighty

70
00:04:31.480 --> 00:04:35.199
seven. He's just been inconsistent in
those four innings. You're talking about eighty

71
00:04:35.279 --> 00:04:40.959
seven pitches, fifty four in the
strength zone. But for Bobby Miller,

72
00:04:41.120 --> 00:04:46.360
just inconsistency with the delivery, inconsistency
with the strike zone itself, and maybe

73
00:04:46.439 --> 00:04:49.279
even two predictable is a lack of
not throwing some strikes. So he's going

74
00:04:49.319 --> 00:04:54.040
to go down and there's some work
to get done because the Dodgers need Bobby

75
00:04:54.079 --> 00:04:58.399
Miller to straighten things out and get
back here as quickly as possible. But

76
00:04:58.800 --> 00:05:02.360
he's got a lot of I think
analyzing to do. They'll look at videotape

77
00:05:02.360 --> 00:05:08.399
and everything else in sidelines sessions.
But for Miller, maybe coming as a

78
00:05:08.439 --> 00:05:11.839
shock, maybe not so much as
a shot for the twenty five year old

79
00:05:11.959 --> 00:05:15.000
rookie Fanasko, a right hander,
is in the Dodger bullpen. That was

80
00:05:15.040 --> 00:05:17.160
the roster move on the other side. So the Dodgers as they get a

81
00:05:17.199 --> 00:05:20.000
little closer to the All Star break, trying to add another arm to the

82
00:05:20.040 --> 00:05:23.839
pen well, and they need to
do it with a pin also, But

83
00:05:23.920 --> 00:05:27.759
you start to look at the really
the pressure has been on the bullpen because

84
00:05:28.319 --> 00:05:30.920
the sixteenth of June, go back
to that date. Since that date,

85
00:05:31.040 --> 00:05:36.439
only the New York Yankees starting pitching
has a higher ERRA than what the Dodgers

86
00:05:36.480 --> 00:05:42.000
starting pitching has been able to post. New York Yankees since the sixteenth or

87
00:05:42.079 --> 00:05:45.839
June six point nine to four,
that's their starting pitching er. For the

88
00:05:45.839 --> 00:05:49.639
Dodgers it's over five point six.
That's got to turn around. And for

89
00:05:49.720 --> 00:05:53.879
the bullpen has been very good for
this Dodger bulk club, but they've not

90
00:05:54.000 --> 00:05:58.279
had a whole lot of zeros that
they're following. Too many zeros for the

91
00:05:58.319 --> 00:06:01.759
Dodgers recently, as far as at
bats with runners in scoring position, that's

92
00:06:01.759 --> 00:06:04.879
been an issue. It's been a
huge issue. I mean last night they

93
00:06:04.920 --> 00:06:10.439
had plenty of opportunities, but they
were zero for eleven. Philadelphia took advantage

94
00:06:10.480 --> 00:06:13.240
four for eight in that area.
But if you look at the last four

95
00:06:13.319 --> 00:06:15.879
games, it gives you kind of
a snapshot. The Dodgers are just three

96
00:06:15.959 --> 00:06:19.199
for thirty three. I'll do the
math. That's an ninety one batting game,

97
00:06:19.399 --> 00:06:24.480
so below one hundred. In the
same time in those four games,

98
00:06:24.480 --> 00:06:29.680
the opposing teams hitting it three ninety
three with opportunities to knock in runs o

99
00:06:29.800 --> 00:06:31.600
daylight. The president to try to
turn that around, well, I think

100
00:06:31.759 --> 00:06:33.879
every game that you start, if
you're in a slump, you say,

101
00:06:33.879 --> 00:06:38.680
look, this is the day that
we start the longest hitting streak that you

102
00:06:38.759 --> 00:06:42.399
have. And for teams, exactly
the same approach. Now, the Dodgers

103
00:06:42.480 --> 00:06:46.600
just wanted back closer to getting hot, and why not in hot Philadelphia.

104
00:06:46.600 --> 00:06:47.639
You can't get hot if you don't
go to home plate as a hit.

105
00:06:47.720 --> 00:06:53.040
That's right, Dodgers at fifty five
and thirty seven, Phillies fifty nine and

106
00:06:53.199 --> 00:06:57.319
thirty two. Gavin Stone has the
ball for the Dodgers. Christopher Sanchez,

107
00:06:57.560 --> 00:07:00.240
the lefty, will pitch for Philadelphia. Tim all right, see cull you

108
00:07:00.319 --> 00:07:03.160
down to first pitch. Dodger fans, get your game day meal on a

of hours ago. We'll hear from
Bobby Miller next. So lead you up

on the official home of LA Dodgers Baseball,

118
00:07:50.720 --> 00:07:55.759
Dodgers and Phillis. Gavin Stone and
Christopher Sanchez. The pitching matchup.

119
00:07:56.000 --> 00:08:01.079
First pitch from Citizens Bank Park coming
up at four oh five. This is

120
00:08:01.160 --> 00:08:07.480
the Otani Rewind. Oh one pitch
show Hey, loops went into the left

121
00:08:07.519 --> 00:08:13.920
field and that ball is gonna drop
in for a hit. Trey Turner looked

122
00:08:13.920 --> 00:08:18.720
at Brandon Marsh, the left fielder. Marsh looked shortstop Turner, and they

123
00:08:18.759 --> 00:08:22.720
said, I don't got it either, one of them. So Otani with

124
00:08:22.759 --> 00:08:26.199
a base shit and some said he's
Hot's just different because the way the humidity

125
00:08:26.279 --> 00:08:31.680
hits you. There goes Otani pitches
low for a ball and no throw down

126
00:08:31.720 --> 00:08:35.120
and show, hey, we'll have
his twenty first stolen bass shoey Otani goes

127
00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:37.879
one for two last night, on
base twice with the walking now hitting three

128
00:08:37.879 --> 00:08:43.480
point fifteen and as you heard,
his twenty first stolen base of the year.

129
00:08:43.600 --> 00:08:46.240
The Otani Rewind brought to you by
eto z oy all Jo, Japan's

Well, roughnight for Bobby Miller last night.

133
00:08:58.919 --> 00:09:01.519
A young right hander who's pitched well
in a little bit of a rut

134
00:09:01.600 --> 00:09:03.279
right now. Four ratings, nine
runs, all of them are in ten

135
00:09:03.399 --> 00:09:07.120
hits. Give him a couple of
home runs, including the grand Slam to

136
00:09:07.200 --> 00:09:09.360
Trey Turner. You got option to
triple a Oklahoma City to hopefully kind of

137
00:09:09.360 --> 00:09:11.639
figure out what's going wrong and bring
it back up. After the All Star

138
00:09:11.679 --> 00:09:16.840
break, and last night he talked
with the media just everything you just said,

139
00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:22.440
mainly just execution, fighting to get
back intoccounts. Yeah, I mean,

140
00:09:24.320 --> 00:09:28.159
you face a team like that and
you just make like on executed pitches.

141
00:09:28.159 --> 00:09:31.080
They put good swings on it every
time. There's some unlucky stuff in

142
00:09:31.120 --> 00:09:35.720
there as well. I didn't think
that that grand sign was hit too hard,

143
00:09:35.759 --> 00:09:37.720
but you know, at the same
time, it wasn't a great pitch,

144
00:09:37.799 --> 00:09:41.279
so they're going to capitalize on that. So yeah, I got some

145
00:09:41.360 --> 00:09:43.120
work to do it. I guess
what's your biggest takeaway then, I guess,

146
00:09:43.159 --> 00:09:46.519
or what's something that you really want
to focus on kind of heading into

147
00:09:46.559 --> 00:09:52.080
your next outing, execution and getting
ahead of batters, just being in attack

148
00:09:52.159 --> 00:09:54.759
mode, Like that's when I'm at
my best in attack mode and get ahead

149
00:09:54.759 --> 00:09:58.159
of guys and put them away fast
instead of getting O two and working into

150
00:09:58.200 --> 00:10:01.279
three two a lot, So you
know that's the really the biggest takeaway is

151
00:10:01.360 --> 00:10:05.840
just yeah, just getting ahead and
putting guys away fast is what I'm best

152
00:10:05.879 --> 00:10:09.559
at. So what's this process been
like? Just trying to get back into

153
00:10:09.600 --> 00:10:15.399
it after time in the I L
and trying to figure out the successful again.

154
00:10:15.639 --> 00:10:20.879
Apparently it's been tough, it really
has. But I'm using his motivation

155
00:10:20.480 --> 00:10:24.799
in my next outing for whenever that
is. And yeah, I just use

156
00:10:24.840 --> 00:10:30.519
all this this failure is motivation going
in going into my next outing. Still

157
00:10:30.559 --> 00:10:33.879
feel physically makes the flas start you
feeling pretty get it still? Yeah,

158
00:10:33.240 --> 00:10:37.159
yeah, I feel fun? What
you got? What's been missing? Though?

159
00:10:37.519 --> 00:10:41.360
Four starts in that since you came
back, I haven't really looked like

160
00:10:41.399 --> 00:10:48.320
yourself in any of them. I
feel like I explained that. Yeah,

161
00:10:48.360 --> 00:10:52.720
I've been getting to know two counts
not putting away guys fast. You know.

162
00:10:52.799 --> 00:10:56.440
Obviously last is a little down too, but uh yeah, just stuff

163
00:10:56.480 --> 00:11:00.120
just doesn't have as much buy to
it right now, just not put the

164
00:11:00.279 --> 00:11:03.679
guys, putting guys away fast.
When I get deep into account and I'm

165
00:11:03.200 --> 00:11:07.519
just a lot of three ball counts
a lot of walks, just everything I'll

166
00:11:07.519 --> 00:11:09.600
put together, but may get back
to where I need to be. I

167
00:11:09.639 --> 00:11:15.879
know that for sure stuff isn't have
the same fight as velocity is down.

168
00:11:15.960 --> 00:11:20.759
Why is that? I couldn't tell
you. I'm trying everything I can.

169
00:11:20.960 --> 00:11:24.480
You know, the shoulders strong right
now. Done testing on that. My

170
00:11:24.519 --> 00:11:28.440
shoulders really strong right now. So
it's probably just mechanics. I'm just a

171
00:11:28.480 --> 00:11:31.080
little bit of everything. So yeah, I'm just still trying to figure that

172
00:11:31.120 --> 00:11:33.559
out. All right, there's Bobby
Miller. Hopefully you can figure out the

173
00:11:33.600 --> 00:11:37.120
mechanics and get back to this Dodgers
team after the All Star break. Quickly

way back, and it looks like
Joe Kelly's gonna throw in Oklahoma City in

192
00:12:54.320 --> 00:12:58.720
another minor league rehab assignment. All
right, let's head back out to Philadelphia.

193
00:12:58.799 --> 00:13:01.399
Get the pregame thoughts to the anything
else, Dave. Do you think

194
00:13:03.039 --> 00:13:05.480
questions for Dave? Dave? Can
you just describe Dave? Can you talk

195
00:13:05.519 --> 00:13:13.919
about the pressure in the dugouts with
Dave? Robberts just kind of figuring out

196
00:13:13.159 --> 00:13:18.200
number one, we got to get
him right. So I think that's the

197
00:13:18.519 --> 00:13:28.200
impetus and what's the best way to
get him right mentally, emotionally and mechanically.

198
00:13:28.679 --> 00:13:35.879
Uh. Butting up to the All
Star break, it's it made made

199
00:13:35.879 --> 00:13:41.480
a lot more sense. And you
know, you have a path to either

200
00:13:41.600 --> 00:13:48.960
continue to go as we have been
and hope that it turns, or you

201
00:13:48.000 --> 00:13:52.120
know, remove them from the situation, option them and give them a reset

202
00:13:52.200 --> 00:13:58.679
to get out of this hot box
of performance. And so we just felt

203
00:13:58.720 --> 00:14:05.320
that this was the best thing for
Bobby and for us, and you know,

204
00:14:05.399 --> 00:14:07.799
he's a big part of what we're
trying to do this year, and

205
00:14:07.840 --> 00:14:11.480
so we just felt that's the best
thing to do. What is the playlet?

206
00:14:11.600 --> 00:14:13.399
Is it going to be a short
stand? Is it going to go

207
00:14:13.440 --> 00:14:20.679
to Arizona or Okay, see that
what's sort of the plans. So he's

208
00:14:20.720 --> 00:14:26.679
gonna work with Rob Hill, one
of our pitching guys in the minors.

209
00:14:28.639 --> 00:14:31.759
So I think that he's going to
be there and spend a lot of time

210
00:14:31.799 --> 00:14:35.519
with him. There's no one in
Arizona right now, and you know he's

211
00:14:35.519 --> 00:14:37.360
going to spend the All Star break
in Los Angeles, which he had already

212
00:14:37.399 --> 00:14:41.840
planned to do, so that doesn't
change. And then once we start the

213
00:14:41.879 --> 00:14:48.679
second half, he'll he'll break with
OKC and we'll figure out when he lines

214
00:14:48.799 --> 00:14:52.120
up to make a start. I
don't know that yet with this decision that

215
00:14:52.399 --> 00:14:56.000
is, I mean, because we're
seeing his stuff that just wasn't translated into

216
00:14:56.039 --> 00:15:00.759
what it was last year, Like
what kind of went into something that's not

217
00:15:00.840 --> 00:15:03.120
distressed that it's just kind of making
Sentimentking Sure he goes down there to what

218
00:15:03.360 --> 00:15:11.960
I think, Yeah, I think
it was the stuff, the command and

219
00:15:13.039 --> 00:15:16.320
the consistency of the stuff and the
command. You know, even last night,

220
00:15:16.360 --> 00:15:20.440
there was some good curveballs in there, but not consistent enough. There

221
00:15:20.519 --> 00:15:22.600
was a couple of good change ups, but not consistent enough. There were

222
00:15:22.639 --> 00:15:26.000
a couple of good there's some good
fastballs in there, but not consistent enough

223
00:15:26.080 --> 00:15:31.279
to put hitters away. And also
just you can see it taking a toll

224
00:15:31.320 --> 00:15:35.159
on them, you know, when
I take him out of a game,

225
00:15:35.399 --> 00:15:41.320
and you can just see the weight
that he is and the stress that he's

226
00:15:41.440 --> 00:15:45.919
putting on himself. And so I
do think that getting him out of this

227
00:15:46.000 --> 00:15:52.120
environment is going to be beneficial and
he's going to comeback, reset, recharge

228
00:15:52.240 --> 00:15:56.120
and throwing the baseball the way we
know he can't. All right, there's

229
00:15:56.200 --> 00:16:00.960

I accept everybody for who they are.

243
00:17:04.759 --> 00:17:11.519
This is Dodger insider David Bassi.
All right, David, Bobby Miller gets

244
00:17:11.519 --> 00:17:15.519
sent to Triple A, Oklahoma City. What exactly does this demotion mean?

245
00:17:15.720 --> 00:17:19.039
All right? Well, first and
foremost, Tim, Bobby has not pitched

246
00:17:19.079 --> 00:17:23.960
well, he's given up seventeen runs
in his last nineteen innings. Pitched last

247
00:17:25.039 --> 00:17:29.559
night was a disaster for him.
There's no way to sugarcoat it. But

248
00:17:29.839 --> 00:17:33.240
this is also kind of a strategic
move by the Dodgers. Number one.

249
00:17:34.240 --> 00:17:37.960
I heard what Dave Roberts had to
say, and that makes complete sense.

250
00:17:38.079 --> 00:17:41.200
Like I said, first and foremost, you got to get Bobby Miller right,

251
00:17:41.640 --> 00:17:45.319
and trying to do that in between
starts just does not seem to have

252
00:17:45.440 --> 00:17:49.319
worked. So send him to camel
Back Ranch, then send him out on

253
00:17:49.319 --> 00:17:55.559
a rehab assignment to see whether or
not whatever he's worked on plays in games,

254
00:17:55.640 --> 00:17:59.599
even in Triple A. Because big
picture, the Dodgers do need Bobby

255
00:17:59.640 --> 00:18:03.720
Miller. They are counting on having
Bobby Miller back. And also for the

256
00:18:03.799 --> 00:18:08.640
here and now for the Dodgers,
because Bobby Miller only went four innings yesterday,

257
00:18:10.079 --> 00:18:14.640
that Dodger bullpen was taxed even more. In the last ten games,

258
00:18:14.720 --> 00:18:18.039
Dodgers starters have only thrown forty four
innings, so we're seeing more of the

259
00:18:18.039 --> 00:18:25.039
bullpen earlier in games the last ten. So with the Dodgers wanted to get

260
00:18:25.079 --> 00:18:27.960
Bobby Miller right, he's not going
to make another start before the All Star

261
00:18:29.039 --> 00:18:33.880
break, why not send him down
in this way to be able to bring

262
00:18:33.960 --> 00:18:38.279
back Ricky Vanasko a fresh arm for
this Dodger bullpen. So this is a

263
00:18:38.440 --> 00:18:44.839
multi layer type of decision. But
first and foremost is the Dodgers need to

264
00:18:44.839 --> 00:18:48.559
get Bobby Miller on track again.
And for me, I said this after

265
00:18:48.599 --> 00:18:56.519
the game. It's really I would
say forty percent mechanics, sixty percent between

266
00:18:56.559 --> 00:19:00.480
his ears. I said this before
as well. He's got to stop chasing

267
00:19:00.680 --> 00:19:07.920
spin rate and velocity. Oral Herscheizer
talks about this all the time. You

268
00:19:07.960 --> 00:19:12.440
can't try to make the greatest pitch
ever every single pitch. You've got to

269
00:19:12.480 --> 00:19:17.920
be able to be consistent with your
pitches, and it just feels like Bobby

270
00:19:17.960 --> 00:19:22.839
Miller at times during starts tries to
throw the greatest pitch ever when things are

271
00:19:22.880 --> 00:19:26.319
not going his way, he's got
to look in the mirror. He's got

272
00:19:26.359 --> 00:19:32.480
to mature, and he's got to
come back more season than what we've seen

273
00:19:32.559 --> 00:19:34.599
so far, David has driven by
Ford. There's one thing we like his

274
00:19:34.759 --> 00:19:40.000
choices. Find yours with the Ford
F one to fifty gas hybrid or all

275
00:19:40.039 --> 00:19:44.119
electric tough this mark can only be
called f one to fifty. I don't

276
00:19:44.160 --> 00:19:47.599
know if it's similar, but a
year ago Gavin Stone ran into a rough

277
00:19:47.599 --> 00:19:49.359
patch when he was called up,
got sent back down to Triple A,

278
00:19:49.519 --> 00:19:53.119
came back at a pretty good September, and his transitioned into this year a

279
00:19:53.160 --> 00:19:57.039
great twenty twenty four. Well,
the biggest reason why is he did look

280
00:19:57.079 --> 00:20:00.599
in the mirror and he did realize
is what he needed to do to get

281
00:20:00.640 --> 00:20:04.400
better. During the offseason, he
got bigger, he got stronger, and

282
00:20:04.440 --> 00:20:08.240
he also worked on the two new
pitches that you saw at the end of

283
00:20:08.319 --> 00:20:14.519
last year, a two seam pitch
and also a cut fastball to go with

284
00:20:15.119 --> 00:20:19.279
working on a slider to go with
his great change up and four seam fastball.

285
00:20:19.400 --> 00:20:25.119
So this guy actually did look in
the mirror and got better, and

286
00:20:25.240 --> 00:20:29.079
during the offseason didn't just sit home
and play golf and hang out with his

287
00:20:29.119 --> 00:20:32.759
friends. I'm not saying that's what
Bobby Miller did, but I'm just saying

288
00:20:33.039 --> 00:20:38.319
Gavin Stone showed a lot of maturity
coming back to spring training a much different

289
00:20:38.559 --> 00:20:44.200
looking pitcher, and you've seen the
results during the season. Miguel Vargas back

290
00:20:44.240 --> 00:20:47.839
in the lineup again today playing left
field for the Dodgers. What's been the

291
00:20:47.960 --> 00:20:51.400
key for him looking more like a
big leaguer? Well, there we go

292
00:20:51.480 --> 00:20:56.559
to him. Another guy that got
more mature during the last six months.

293
00:20:56.880 --> 00:20:59.359
It was a wake up call for
him to be sent down. It was

294
00:20:59.480 --> 00:21:03.559
probably the lowest point of his professional
career. He went to Oklahoma City,

295
00:21:03.680 --> 00:21:07.759
tried to get back to who he
was as a hitter, and during the

296
00:21:07.799 --> 00:21:12.680
offseason went to work with JD.
Martinez in Miami. And JD. Martinez

297
00:21:12.720 --> 00:21:19.759
has also helped Miguel Vargas stay prepared
by telling him to simulate at bats when

298
00:21:19.799 --> 00:21:25.680
he's not in the game, and
look, his preparation got him to where

299
00:21:25.680 --> 00:21:29.519
he's at. Where he's now getting
regular starts, so I know we get

300
00:21:29.559 --> 00:21:33.640
caught up in exit velocity, spin
ray velocity. It's more between the years

301
00:21:33.759 --> 00:21:37.960
and maturing as a young player.
Let's hope he can get right quick and

302
00:21:37.000 --> 00:21:40.400
come back and help out this Dodgers
team. David appreciate it. We'll check

Dodgers Stadium. Dodgers were down going into

now joined by David Massey, here's LA

338
00:24:41.160 --> 00:24:47.720
Dodgers broadcaster and World Series Champion Dodger
Rick Monday. Well, the good news

339
00:24:47.759 --> 00:24:51.559
in baseball, Rick, there's always
a game tomorrow, and for the Dodgers

340
00:24:51.599 --> 00:24:55.920
that's good news. Yeah. For
the White Sox maybe not good news,

341
00:24:55.920 --> 00:25:00.119
although they won today. Can you
believe that Sox? Actually, I guess

342
00:25:00.160 --> 00:25:03.640
you're right. If you're the White
Sox or A's, you don't want a

343
00:25:03.680 --> 00:25:07.599
game tomorrow, you want the end
of the season. That happened. Yeah,

344
00:25:07.640 --> 00:25:10.920
you look for volunteers to go out
and turn on the sprinklers at the

345
00:25:10.960 --> 00:25:14.559
stadium, so maybe the game get
flooded out early, no doubt. I

346
00:25:14.599 --> 00:25:18.039
love I've never heard that before,
but that's exactly pay menture. You've never

347
00:25:18.079 --> 00:25:22.400
heard about that. No, that
was the thing that used to be done

348
00:25:22.440 --> 00:25:26.559
in the minor leagues years and years
ago. Especially teams say the last game

349
00:25:26.599 --> 00:25:29.519
of the season, you were going
nowhere but home. You had no chance

350
00:25:30.119 --> 00:25:36.640
of winning your division or going to
postseason play, and it was basically nine

351
00:25:36.680 --> 00:25:40.920
innings getting the cars or getting a
flight, and you go home. And

352
00:25:40.960 --> 00:25:45.079
there were many many times that just
somehow, some way the sprinklers got turned

353
00:25:45.119 --> 00:25:48.400
on and they could not play the
game the next day. Well, maybe

354
00:25:48.400 --> 00:25:52.440
they'll try that later in the year
between the Whites. In fact, let

355
00:25:52.480 --> 00:25:55.680
me, in fact, let me
tell you this. I'm going to fly

356
00:25:55.839 --> 00:26:00.039
over to Phoenix and I'm going to
be inducted into Arizona State Hall of Fame.

357
00:26:00.200 --> 00:26:03.480
Right, So, I go over
and a gentleman says, look,

358
00:26:03.480 --> 00:26:07.519
I will pick you up. Go
to one of the rental car counters and

359
00:26:07.599 --> 00:26:10.480
I will be there and I will
pick you up. So I fly over

360
00:26:10.519 --> 00:26:15.720
to Phoenix. I go to one
of the rental car kiosk and I'm standing

361
00:26:15.799 --> 00:26:18.400
there and I hear my name page. I said, well, the gentleman

362
00:26:18.480 --> 00:26:21.559
must have arrived to pick me up
and take me to campus and we're going

363
00:26:21.599 --> 00:26:25.480
to go to lunch and then the
ceremonies. Okay, fine, So here

364
00:26:25.519 --> 00:26:27.079
comes the guy. I go over
and I meet him and he goes,

365
00:26:27.119 --> 00:26:32.319
oh, you're here, and I
went, well, yeah, you asked

366
00:26:32.319 --> 00:26:33.680
me to come over. He goes, well, we have a problem.

367
00:26:34.000 --> 00:26:37.960
He goes, what's sata. Well, the ceremony has been canceled. And

368
00:26:37.000 --> 00:26:40.359
I said, what you change your
mind all of a sudden, you don't

369
00:26:40.400 --> 00:26:42.160
want me? Okay fine. He
goes, no, here's what happened.

370
00:26:42.440 --> 00:26:45.559
He said, last night at the
stadium. Just outside the stadium, there's

371
00:26:45.599 --> 00:26:51.720
a car accident knocked down a power
pole. The sprinklers were on. Therefore

372
00:26:51.759 --> 00:26:55.880
the timer did not get to the
turnoff time. The field is flooded,

373
00:26:56.279 --> 00:26:59.119
so the game has been canceled.
But since you're here. I guess we

374
00:26:59.160 --> 00:27:03.160
can take you to lunch. So
that was my induction into the Arizona State

375
00:27:03.200 --> 00:27:07.359
the Sports Hall of Fame. Wow, at least you made it in,

376
00:27:07.440 --> 00:27:11.920
right, Rick. Are they trying
to send you a message? Hey?

377
00:27:11.039 --> 00:27:14.519
I keep checking everyone smile Spring trying
to go and go over. No,

378
00:27:14.599 --> 00:27:17.079
my name's still up there. So
what the heck? Hey? Rick?

379
00:27:17.200 --> 00:27:21.000
Last night you sounded like you were
getting a little hot under the caller with

380
00:27:21.119 --> 00:27:23.440
the umpire crew needing to call back
to New York for a rule that they

381
00:27:23.480 --> 00:27:27.319
should have known. Same umpire crew. No night, No, I wasn't

382
00:27:27.359 --> 00:27:33.279
a little hot under the candle,
I said. I was absolutely flabbergasted that

383
00:27:33.440 --> 00:27:37.039
a majorly umpire and crew did not
know the rule. And the rule has

384
00:27:37.079 --> 00:27:42.000
been put in and the X number
of runs if you're ahead behind you can

385
00:27:42.200 --> 00:27:48.160
use a position player now to pitch. I was. I was overwhelmed.

386
00:27:48.640 --> 00:27:52.640
I was befuddled. And for a
major umpire to have to call New York

387
00:27:53.680 --> 00:27:59.319
delay a game, you have to
call New York for clarifying a rule.

388
00:28:00.640 --> 00:28:03.880
I was a little surprised that the
Dodgers did not come out with a rule

389
00:28:03.880 --> 00:28:07.440
book from the dungout too to be
honest with you. You know this is

390
00:28:07.440 --> 00:28:11.519
a day also for those that did
not hear. Bobby Miller has been returned

391
00:28:11.240 --> 00:28:15.960
to Triple A and he's got a
lot of, i think a soul searching

392
00:28:15.319 --> 00:28:19.119
to do, because since he returned
from the injured list, is earned reun

393
00:28:19.200 --> 00:28:23.400
average nine point eighty seven. And
he simply was all over the place last

394
00:28:23.440 --> 00:28:26.839
night in the full innings, nine
runs on ten hits, a couple of

395
00:28:26.839 --> 00:28:32.240
home runs, while he walked I'll
say only three. He just really did

396
00:28:32.240 --> 00:28:33.920
not have a command of the strike
zone at all. Yeah, it's not

397
00:28:33.960 --> 00:28:37.240
about mechanics with Bobby. It's more
about, like you said, Rick,

398
00:28:37.400 --> 00:28:41.640
do some soul searching, take a
look in the mirror and realize what's important

399
00:28:41.720 --> 00:28:47.119
to be able to get through a
major league start. Yeah, and the

400
00:28:47.160 --> 00:28:51.160
Dodgers need him. I mean,
let's come right down to brass tacks.

401
00:28:51.640 --> 00:28:55.640
The Dodgers, who have now used
twenty nine pitchers this year. Already we're

402
00:28:55.680 --> 00:28:59.119
not quite to the All Star break. Twenty nine pitchers have thrown for the

403
00:28:59.119 --> 00:29:03.119
Dodgers. They need Bobby Miller,
along with some of the guys right now

404
00:29:03.119 --> 00:29:06.759
they're on the injure list, some
are getting closer and closer such as Clayton

405
00:29:06.839 --> 00:29:11.279
Kersham. Not the case with Joe
Kelly. He's maybe gone a little backwards

406
00:29:11.319 --> 00:29:15.519
as to the last simulated game that
he has. The Dodgers desperately need some

407
00:29:15.799 --> 00:29:18.279
pitching, because if we look back
to June sixteenth, very quickly, only

408
00:29:18.359 --> 00:29:23.440
the New York Yankees starting pitcher since
the sixteenth of June have a higher combined

409
00:29:23.519 --> 00:29:27.359
earned run average than the Dodgers doing
their starting pitchers. That's got to change,

410
00:29:27.519 --> 00:29:30.440
without a doubt, Rick, and
it starts tonight. We'll look forward

411
00:29:30.480 --> 00:29:33.640
to hearing you and Tim Nevertt a
little bit later in the show and on

412
00:29:33.680 --> 00:29:38.039
the call tonight. Stay stay cool
up there, hey, enjoy it in

what will likely be vast a fielding insults

431
00:30:57.799 --> 00:31:02.839
from a Dodger player. It's an
engagement of endearment. This this high and

432
00:31:02.880 --> 00:31:07.119
tight. It was great to have
James outman back at Dodger Stadium as they

433
00:31:07.200 --> 00:31:08.960
set out on the road. James, thanks a lot for the time and

434
00:31:10.079 --> 00:31:12.079
man. Great to have you back
in a Dodger uniform. Great to be

435
00:31:12.160 --> 00:31:17.359
back. I had a blast yesterday
and it's really really nice being back home.

436
00:31:17.680 --> 00:31:22.039
What was your reaction to the fans
reacting to you in your first start

437
00:31:22.119 --> 00:31:25.240
back? It was awesome, man, It's you know, playing in front

438
00:31:25.240 --> 00:31:29.359
of these fans is a real blessing. And I had like a nice ovation

439
00:31:29.440 --> 00:31:32.559
when I came back, and that
was pretty heart woman. Can you describe

440
00:31:32.599 --> 00:31:37.799
the difference between this James Outman and
the one we last saw? Uh?

441
00:31:37.160 --> 00:31:40.559
I think I don't know. I
mean, I'm still the same guy,

442
00:31:40.680 --> 00:31:45.279
still the same same player, just
a feel more relaxed and I'm just gonna

443
00:31:45.279 --> 00:31:47.720
go out there and play and kind
of try and keep it simple. Now.

444
00:31:47.920 --> 00:31:51.559
Did you feel like you could catch
your breath in Oklahoma City? Yeah?

445
00:31:51.680 --> 00:31:53.480
I think I had time to kind
of step back and work on a

446
00:31:53.480 --> 00:31:59.400
few things and you know, just
kind of take things day by day and

447
00:32:00.039 --> 00:32:01.680
get back to the player that got
me to the big leagues. I was

448
00:32:01.759 --> 00:32:07.920
tracking you when you went down and
it told me that James Outman wasn't sulking.

449
00:32:07.079 --> 00:32:12.039
He was taking this as a challenge
to be better mentally. How did

450
00:32:12.079 --> 00:32:16.319
you handle that? I just told
myself still playing the same game. And

451
00:32:17.559 --> 00:32:21.960
you know, whether whether there's you
know, the bright lights or not,

452
00:32:22.039 --> 00:32:23.799
it's still it's still baseball. So
I just wanted to get out there and

453
00:32:24.519 --> 00:32:28.559
you know, continue to try and
make myself a better player than I was

454
00:32:28.640 --> 00:32:31.759
yesterday. Can you tell us so, without getting too inside baseball, just

455
00:32:31.880 --> 00:32:36.559
what you worked on to try to
be better? Uh, mainly just timing,

456
00:32:37.119 --> 00:32:40.640
just getting on time, being relaxed
and getting my swing off. Who

457
00:32:40.680 --> 00:32:47.359
helped you the most? Oh,
it was a it was a it was

458
00:32:47.400 --> 00:32:51.279
a group effort. Yeah, to
say the least. There's a group effort

459
00:32:51.279 --> 00:32:55.720
for sure. Many burst hitting coach
and triple As huge help just getting confidence

460
00:32:55.799 --> 00:33:01.160
back, and Brett Hill came down
for a while for a week. But

461
00:33:01.240 --> 00:33:06.119
yeah, definitely a group effort.
I kind of grabbed a lot from a

462
00:33:06.119 --> 00:33:09.160
lot of different people. It takes
a village, right, definitely. James

463
00:33:09.160 --> 00:33:14.720
Outman is our guest. Tarzan is
back with the Dodgers, and I know

464
00:33:15.039 --> 00:33:17.880
you're an unselfish player. It's about
not only you but the team. How

465
00:33:17.920 --> 00:33:22.119
happy are you for the success of
guys like Andy Pajez and Miguel Vargas.

466
00:33:22.319 --> 00:33:27.519
It's great, it's you know,
you come up through the system with those

467
00:33:27.559 --> 00:33:32.599
guys, and it's fun when you
can kind of reach the pinnacle of your

468
00:33:32.640 --> 00:33:38.200
careers in terms of where you're playing
together. Gavin Lux is still here,

469
00:33:38.319 --> 00:33:42.839
James, How does that make you
feel? It makes me feel happy.

470
00:33:43.480 --> 00:33:46.440
He's a lovable type of guy,
right, Gavin. He's just staring at

471
00:33:46.559 --> 00:33:52.119
us awkwardly. Hopefully he's gotten over
his nasal sinus thing from a few days

472
00:33:52.119 --> 00:33:55.839
ago. Stay away from him arms
distance length. I don't know about that.

473
00:33:58.160 --> 00:34:00.720
It feels like you haven't missed a
beat. It feels like you were

474
00:34:00.759 --> 00:34:04.839
just here yesterday. With the way
everybody has just treated you. Yeah,

475
00:34:04.880 --> 00:34:07.719
that was awesome coming back. I
gave out a lot of hugs my first

476
00:34:07.800 --> 00:34:10.880
day back, seeing everybody for your
first time in a month or two months

477
00:34:10.960 --> 00:34:15.960
or whatever it was. And but
yeah, it's you know, I played

478
00:34:15.960 --> 00:34:19.679
with these guys for a while,
so it's it's great seeing everybody. You're

479
00:34:19.719 --> 00:34:23.719
not usually a hugger, so I
was surprised to see that. Yeah,

480
00:34:23.880 --> 00:34:27.920
I just missed him. All right, Thanks a lot for the time,

481
00:34:28.000 --> 00:34:30.639
James. Great to have you back
and continued success. Thank you, David,

482
00:34:30.679 --> 00:34:35.960
appreciate it. There he is,
James Outman Tarzan swinging from the vines

483
00:34:36.000 --> 00:34:39.079
again in Dodger Blue. All right, there he is James Outman. Good

484
00:34:39.079 --> 00:34:43.840

five of his eighty two strikeouts have
come via the changeup, which are the

502

most in all of the major leagues. Today's his first time facing the Dodgers.

503

debut May third last year. He

508

back out to the booth Rick Monday, Tim Never guys, Tim, thanks

517
00:36:57.440 --> 00:36:59.960
again, Well we get you ready
for this one. In Philadelphia. It's

518
00:37:00.000 --> 00:37:04.239
Citizen's Bank Park on another warm and
humid evening, Game two of the three

519
00:37:04.320 --> 00:37:07.079
game set. Dodgers dropping game one
last night, looking to get even tonight

520
00:37:07.119 --> 00:37:12.039
and they'll do it behind Gavin Stone, and the young right hander really has

521
00:37:12.159 --> 00:37:15.440
been one of the Dodgers' most consistent
pitchers, if not the most consistent pitcher,

522
00:37:15.719 --> 00:37:20.679
a record of nine and two,
and this year has been a very

523
00:37:20.800 --> 00:37:23.000
very good year for Gavin Stone.
Kind of a coming out party for him.

524
00:37:23.039 --> 00:37:25.719
We saw him at times last year. We knew he had some good

525
00:37:25.719 --> 00:37:30.800
stuff, especially the change up,
but he's really really been putting all of

526
00:37:30.840 --> 00:37:34.400
his weapons on display this year,
and he's just able to repeat the delivery.

527
00:37:34.440 --> 00:37:36.639
One of the amazing things, too, is that first of all the

528
00:37:37.400 --> 00:37:42.360
yearly era is very good three point
zero three, even better on the road.

529
00:37:42.400 --> 00:37:45.559
How much better. Oh, it's
the fourth best in Major League Baseball

530
00:37:45.639 --> 00:37:50.760
with starting pitchers two point three away
from Dodgers Stadium. So for Gavin Stone,

531
00:37:50.800 --> 00:37:53.360
again, he's a guy that moves
the ball around. Relatively little batting

532
00:37:53.400 --> 00:37:57.760
average against him. I think as
a hitter you can't just be looking for

533
00:37:57.800 --> 00:38:00.519
one pitch because he's not afraid to
throw any the four and they're pretty good

534
00:38:00.639 --> 00:38:04.480
on top of it. And the
Dodgers have been getting him some runs because

535
00:38:04.519 --> 00:38:09.079
they have won twelve of his previous
sixteen starts coming into this one tonight.

536
00:38:09.119 --> 00:38:13.519
And Dave Roberts too has been making
a play for Gavin Stone. He's been

537
00:38:13.559 --> 00:38:15.920
making a case publicly that Gavin should
be in the All Star Game, and

538
00:38:16.320 --> 00:38:21.599
point very well taken. Dodgers need
to understand. Look, don't chase a

539
00:38:21.639 --> 00:38:24.559
lot of pitches out of the strike
zone against Sanchez tonight, the left hander.

540
00:38:24.800 --> 00:38:29.559
The other part two a lot of
change ups. Third highest percentage of

541
00:38:29.679 --> 00:38:34.400
change ups thrown fast bowl Away has
gotten pounded over a four hundred average.

542
00:38:34.480 --> 00:38:37.719
Hopefully he tries to go fast ball
away a lot tonight. Lefty Christopher Sanchez

543
00:38:37.920 --> 00:38:43.119
going for the Phillies, Gavin Stone
for the Dodgers as the Dodgers look to

544
00:38:43.119 --> 00:38:45.800
get back in the win column here
in game two of this three game set.

545
00:38:46.519 --> 00:38:50.800
All right, thank you guys.
First pitch is next from Philadelphia.

546
00:38:50.840 --> 00:38:54.199
Afterwards, David Vessie's got you covered
