Dodgers, Tim Kays. Hi, everybody,

00:00:07.960 --> 00:00:12.039
and we'll welcome in two mo.
Wrongo Casino Dodgers on deck. Hope

3
00:00:12.039 --> 00:00:16.000
you're doing well on this Tuesday afternoon. You're a Los Angeles Dodgers, fifty

4
00:00:16.039 --> 00:00:19.640
five and thirty six on this season, first place all alone atop of the

5
00:00:19.719 --> 00:00:23.960
NLS after a three and three homestand
the Dodgers now head east for the final

6
00:00:24.039 --> 00:00:27.839
road trip before the All Star Break. First stop Philadelphia in a three game

7
00:00:27.960 --> 00:00:31.679
series against the Fight and Phils Bobby
Miller on the Mountain. This series opener,

8
00:00:31.839 --> 00:00:36.000
first pitch from Citizens Bank Park is
coming up at three forty Between now

9
00:00:36.119 --> 00:00:38.719
and then, we got a lot
to get to here. I'm Wrongo Casino

10
00:00:38.759 --> 00:00:42.000
Dodgers on deck. We'll hear from
the manager, Dave Roberts. We'll dive

11
00:00:42.039 --> 00:00:45.240
deeper into this pitching matchup, David
Vats say, we'll check in the route

12
00:00:45.280 --> 00:00:48.479
of the show. He'll go one
on one with the Big Maple James Paxton.

13
00:00:48.799 --> 00:00:52.039
Shortly we'll hear from Kirsten Watson and
in just a couple of minutes we'll

14
00:00:52.039 --> 00:00:55.119
head it out to the Gallpin Motors
broadcast. Both in here from Rick Monday

15
00:00:55.399 --> 00:01:00.960
and Tim Neverett Well Sunday at Dodgers
Stadium, the Brewers down the Dodgers and

16
00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:04.879
spoiled a big league debut. Justin
Robleski, the twenty three year old rookie

17
00:01:04.959 --> 00:01:10.120
left hander called up from Triple A, made his first start in the big

18
00:01:10.200 --> 00:01:12.959
leagues, and Robleski he was good
the first three innings, putting up zeros.

19
00:01:14.200 --> 00:01:18.319
In the fourth, though he ran
into trouble otherwise known as Christian Yelich.

20
00:01:18.640 --> 00:01:23.719
Oh, we had good reports on
him this season in Double A and

21
00:01:23.719 --> 00:01:29.400
then getting the opportunity to pitch at
Oklahoma City just twice. Though. Yelich

22
00:01:29.439 --> 00:01:32.280
hits a ball in the air to
center field and deep Pie has going back.

23
00:01:32.439 --> 00:01:36.519
He's at the track and this ball's
gone. Yelich is homeward for the

24
00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:41.840
second consecutive game and it's two nothing. Milwaukee two run home run from Christian

25
00:01:41.959 --> 00:01:45.799
Yelich Brewers the two nothing lead.
Robleski, though, was able to rebound

26
00:01:45.799 --> 00:01:49.000
get out of that inning. In
the fifth, Robleski made another mistake,

27
00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:51.239
though, this time leaving a ball
over the middle of the plate for the

28
00:01:51.319 --> 00:01:53.519
nine hitter catcher Eric Haas, who
hits a two run home run to right.

29
00:01:53.599 --> 00:01:57.280
Brewers with a four to nothing lead. The Dodgers offense, though able

30
00:01:57.319 --> 00:02:00.879
to get some traffic on the base
pass, but couldn't push any runners across

31
00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:06.439
until the sixth, when the Dodgers
broke through thanks to Chris Taylor. One

32
00:02:06.480 --> 00:02:09.719
ball, one strike, pitch to
Taylor, He swings hammers at the left.

33
00:02:09.960 --> 00:02:15.039
This ball's deep, this ball's done. Chris Taylor with a two run

34
00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:20.800
home run get slipp Dodgers on the
board. It's four to two. Third

35
00:02:20.919 --> 00:02:25.080
home run of the season for Chris
Taylor. Oh did he ever smack that

36
00:02:25.159 --> 00:02:30.560
one? That pitch was left over
the plate and he hit it out four

37
00:02:30.680 --> 00:02:36.000
hundred and three feet into the left
field Pavilions. Two run home run for

38
00:02:36.080 --> 00:02:38.800
CT three, his third of this
season, that cut the deficit in a

39
00:02:38.840 --> 00:02:43.360
half. Dodgers down four to two. However, the Dodgers got beat as

40
00:02:43.400 --> 00:02:46.400
the Brewers extend their lead a run
of the seventh, two more in the

41
00:02:46.439 --> 00:02:49.479
eighth, two more in than ninth
as they go on and win it ninety

42
00:02:49.520 --> 00:02:53.120
two. Christian Yellis Blake Perkins both
homer and had three hits, drove in

43
00:02:53.120 --> 00:02:55.960
three runs. The Dodgers offense.
It consisted of that CT three, two

44
00:02:57.000 --> 00:03:00.319
run home run. That was it, Justin Robleski against the Law in his

45
00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:04.159
major league debut. Dodgers fall to
fifty five and thirty six on this season.

46
00:03:04.319 --> 00:03:07.319
They maintained those their seven and a
half game lead in the division.

47
00:03:07.599 --> 00:03:10.000
After a day off yesterday, and
the Dodgers on the road in Philadelphia for

48
00:03:10.039 --> 00:03:13.680
the start of a three game set. Bobby Miller on the mount in the

49
00:03:13.719 --> 00:03:15.919
series opener, first pitch coming up
at three forty and with more we head

50
00:03:15.919 --> 00:03:21.159
out to the Gaping Motors broadcast booth
as we say good afternoon to Rick Monday

51
00:03:21.240 --> 00:03:23.719
and Tim Never. Guys, Tim, thank you very much. It is

52
00:03:23.759 --> 00:03:29.879
a warm and muggy evening here in
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania at Citizens Bank Park,

53
00:03:29.919 --> 00:03:34.800
getting ready for game one of this
three game set featuring the two top teams

54
00:03:35.159 --> 00:03:38.599
in the National League. The Phillies
come in with a record of fifty eight

55
00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:42.319
and thirty two. There seven and
a half games up when the Atlanta Braves

56
00:03:42.439 --> 00:03:46.840
in the National League Eastern Division.
Meantime, the Dodgers are fifty five and

57
00:03:46.960 --> 00:03:50.960
thirty six, also seven and a
half games up, but on the San

58
00:03:51.000 --> 00:03:55.319
Diego Padres pitching matchup tonight. Good
one, Bobby Miller going for the Dodgers,

59
00:03:55.319 --> 00:04:00.639
hoping to find his way after being
on the injured list with the right

60
00:04:00.680 --> 00:04:04.680
shoulder information. This will be his
fourth start since returning from the il and

61
00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:11.879
Cy Young favorite Zach Wheeler at nine
and four to two seven four Era going

62
00:04:12.039 --> 00:04:15.360
for the Phillies and mal When you
look at the Dodger lineup, looks a

63
00:04:15.399 --> 00:04:19.120
little bit top heavy. The first
four are all stars and then the last

64
00:04:19.120 --> 00:04:21.240
five are going to have to try
to find a way to get it done.

65
00:04:21.319 --> 00:04:25.959
This's an interesting series because you have
thirteen all stars if you're looking at

66
00:04:25.959 --> 00:04:30.079
both of these teams, franchise record
seven for the Philadelphia Phillies Dodgers of course

67
00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:34.079
with six of those, but they're
going to lose one of those six.

68
00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:39.480
If we found out earlier today,
is that Tyler glassnow now goes on the

69
00:04:39.600 --> 00:04:43.399
injured list and for how long?
We don't really have any idea at all.

70
00:04:43.480 --> 00:04:46.959
Dave Roberts will address that a little
bit later on, But for this

71
00:04:46.040 --> 00:04:48.839
Dodger ball club, I think you
start to look if what they've been able

72
00:04:48.839 --> 00:04:51.800
to do surprisingly enough on the road
they're twenty seven and seventeen. A lot

73
00:04:51.839 --> 00:04:58.000
of different reasons for it, including
they have the third best road batting average

74
00:04:58.120 --> 00:05:01.040
of any team in the National League. Well, just to follow up on

75
00:05:01.079 --> 00:05:05.480
the transaction with Klasnow going on the
aisle, Justin Robleski, he just made

76
00:05:05.519 --> 00:05:11.360
his major league debut Sunday afternoon,
remains with the club and is going to

77
00:05:11.399 --> 00:05:16.160
remain in the rotation for now.
Michael Peterson has been called back from Triple

78
00:05:16.240 --> 00:05:19.959
A and he is active in the
Dodger bullpen tonight. So that's some of

79
00:05:19.959 --> 00:05:24.519
the business out of the way for
today. But the Dodgers need to take

80
00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:28.839
care of business against this tough,
tough Philly lineup that gets two of their

81
00:05:28.879 --> 00:05:32.120
sluggers back tonight off the injured list. Kyle Schwarber is back. He will

82
00:05:32.199 --> 00:05:35.839
lead off and be the designated hitter. And Bryce Harper, who's been battling

83
00:05:35.839 --> 00:05:40.360
a hamstring injury, says he's good
enough to go and he'll bat third and

84
00:05:40.360 --> 00:05:42.920
play first. Yeah, they get
the power back, and for the Dodgers,

85
00:05:42.920 --> 00:05:46.360
they need some very good advanced Kevin
Bigee overturns the lineup. He's at

86
00:05:46.399 --> 00:05:48.879
third base. Miguil Vargas is going
to be in left field. Boys,

87
00:05:48.920 --> 00:05:54.879
he's been swinging the bat very well. Interesting enough James Autman starts in centerfield,

88
00:05:54.879 --> 00:05:58.480
and of course rojast short Gavin lux
is going to be at second base.

89
00:05:58.519 --> 00:06:00.319
But as you mentioned, really at
the outset, it's the bottom part

90
00:06:00.439 --> 00:06:03.439
of the lineup that needs to stand
toll. The top part, well,

91
00:06:03.480 --> 00:06:06.680
most of him are head of the
All Star break, needs some more offense

92
00:06:06.759 --> 00:06:11.399
lower down. The Phillies getting some
offense too out of a former Dodger,

93
00:06:11.480 --> 00:06:15.319
Trey Turner, who is hitting three
point thirty five this season, seventy two

94
00:06:15.839 --> 00:06:19.680
out of two point fifteen. He
has had some injury issues, so not

95
00:06:19.759 --> 00:06:23.759
as many ad batch as some of
his teammates, but still getting it done

96
00:06:23.759 --> 00:06:27.879
with seven home runs, he has
fourteen doubles and eleven stolen base. Yeah,

97
00:06:27.920 --> 00:06:30.439
the other part two in the stolen
base department, you go back to

98
00:06:30.480 --> 00:06:34.399
the last three years, he's been
thrown out only four times in seventy two

99
00:06:34.439 --> 00:06:38.920
attempts to steal a base. Watch
out for him, he's been and only

100
00:06:38.959 --> 00:06:42.319
as you mentioned, fifty one ballgames. But when he's in there, he

101
00:06:42.439 --> 00:06:46.639
really makes the clock tick for the
Phillies. Bobby Miller at one in one

102
00:06:46.839 --> 00:06:51.800
takes on Zach Wheeler at nine and
four Dodgers Phillies game one of a three

103
00:06:51.920 --> 00:06:55.639
game set here at Citizens Bank Park. Temp. All right, as we

Corner with Kirston Watson. Hey Kirson now

127
00:08:41.240 --> 00:08:45.240
joins us from Philadelphia. Big news
a couple hours ago, the Dodgers placing

128
00:08:45.320 --> 00:08:48.360
Tyler glasnow on the iel. What's
going on, Kirston? Yeah, so

129
00:08:48.399 --> 00:08:52.120
he's dealing with a little bit of
back tightness, a little back issue at

130
00:08:52.120 --> 00:08:56.720
the moment. So Dave was saying
that after his outing on Saturday, is

131
00:08:56.759 --> 00:08:58.879
when on Sunday he came in said
he started feeling it. They were hoping

132
00:09:00.000 --> 00:09:01.600
they could just give him an extra
day, maybe have him take down the

133
00:09:01.639 --> 00:09:05.799
start on Friday, but with traveling
across the country, Dave was just saying,

134
00:09:05.840 --> 00:09:09.559
it didn't. They made the decision
that it didn't really make the most

135
00:09:09.600 --> 00:09:11.399
sense for him to come with the
team out here, just made more sense

136
00:09:11.440 --> 00:09:16.039
to put him on the IL.
This was a conversation that actually things kind

137
00:09:16.080 --> 00:09:20.000
of worked out perfectly at Dave was
telling us that the organization as a whole

138
00:09:20.039 --> 00:09:24.000
has been having some conversations and you
know, at some point, how do

139
00:09:24.000 --> 00:09:26.519
you give Tyler a little bit of
a blow or a little bit of a

140
00:09:26.559 --> 00:09:30.919
break in the season, And he
was just, you know, he was

141
00:09:30.960 --> 00:09:33.320
pitching really well. Things were in
a good spot. He wasn't dealing with

142
00:09:33.320 --> 00:09:35.639
any issues, but nothing had come
up just yet. So now that he's

143
00:09:35.639 --> 00:09:39.600
dealing with his back tightness slash kind
of a back situation, they just it

144
00:09:39.639 --> 00:09:43.480
made the most sense for him to
go on the IL. Now, they

145
00:09:43.480 --> 00:09:46.279
don't have an exact timeline for his
return after the All Star break, but

146
00:09:46.600 --> 00:09:50.120
they don't expect this to be a
lengthy il stick. Well, that is

147
00:09:50.120 --> 00:09:52.759
certainly good news. Kris is brought

00:10:07.279 --> 00:10:09.960
some bad boys today. And this
is a team that you know, they

152
00:10:09.960 --> 00:10:13.840
obviously have had a lot of success
this year, and they got Zach Wheeler

153
00:10:13.919 --> 00:10:16.360
out there on the mound. Dave
was saying that this is going to be

154
00:10:16.559 --> 00:10:20.200
it's gonna be a tough matchup.
He's hoping that Bobby Miller, you know,

155
00:10:20.320 --> 00:10:22.720
with facing a tough lineup like the
Phillies, that he can rise to

156
00:10:22.759 --> 00:10:26.360
the occasion and kind of get back
to where he wants to be and get

157
00:10:26.399 --> 00:10:30.519
back on track. Is coming out
of a pretty solid outing against the Diamondbacks

158
00:10:30.519 --> 00:10:33.759
in which he did kind of boost
his confidence. But to keep that going

159
00:10:33.840 --> 00:10:37.240
and then the offense has just gotta
find ways to get to Zach Wheeler.

160
00:10:37.320 --> 00:10:41.799
But also with knowing he is really
very good. So how do you just

161
00:10:41.840 --> 00:10:43.240
take advantage of the mistakes? How
do you get on base? How do

162
00:10:43.240 --> 00:10:46.080
you make some moves from there?
So I think that's the plan of attack

163
00:10:46.120 --> 00:10:50.120
from the Dodgers. But I do
think this is this might be a little

164
00:10:50.120 --> 00:10:52.080
bit of a picture's duel today.
Yeah, well fast one. You never

165
00:10:52.120 --> 00:10:56.360
know. Make sure you're watching from
first pitch. That absolutely could be a

166
00:10:56.440 --> 00:10:58.039
quick one. With this great pitching
match with Kirston, We appreciate it.

167
00:10:58.120 --> 00:11:01.399
We'll check in with you appter.

00:11:46.639 --> 00:11:52.559
it's the LA Dodgers injury report of
the big news in the last hour.

178

Tyler Glass now placed on the IEL

179

The signment this weekend with Oklahoma City Max

185
00:12:16.039 --> 00:12:18.919
Munsey. Well, he's still got
the oblique injury. All right, Let's

186
00:12:18.919 --> 00:12:20.759
head back out to Philadelphia and check
out with the Dodgers skipper. Anything else?

187
00:12:22.279 --> 00:12:26.360
Dave Das questions for Dave. Dave, can you just describe Dave?

188
00:12:26.440 --> 00:12:31.519
Can you talk about the pressure in
the dugouts with Dave Roberts. I think

189
00:12:31.519 --> 00:12:35.600
for me it's obviously uh you know, Zach's one of the best pictures in

190
00:12:35.639 --> 00:12:39.080
the game. And I think for
me to see Bobby step his game up,

191
00:12:39.200 --> 00:12:43.799
you know, I thought, you
know, it's fun to play against

192
00:12:43.840 --> 00:12:46.879
the best, compete against the best, and you know this is a great

193
00:12:46.879 --> 00:12:50.639
ballpark, a great baseball city,
and so to see Bobby's game elevate,

194
00:12:50.720 --> 00:12:54.000
you know, he's coming off a
pretty good one and so just see an

195
00:12:54.080 --> 00:12:58.399
uptake and performance. It's super a
good one. Considering just how much success

196
00:12:58.440 --> 00:13:00.919
that acting like us had. What's
got to be a key to success just

197
00:13:00.960 --> 00:13:03.919
for your offense to get going today
can Yeah, it's going to be a

198
00:13:03.960 --> 00:13:11.039
tall task with a Wheeler. You
know, he throws strikes, it's big

199
00:13:11.080 --> 00:13:13.879
stuff. It's a big fastball.
It's a breaking ball in there, and

200
00:13:13.960 --> 00:13:18.000
so I think you just try to
be aggressive with them and get on that

201
00:13:18.039 --> 00:13:22.240
fastball and a lot of glove side
fastballs. So again, you know,

202
00:13:22.720 --> 00:13:26.000
he's one of the best in the
game, and hopefully he makes some mistakes

203
00:13:26.039 --> 00:13:33.799
and we can capitalize. Yeah,
we're gonna activate recalled Michael Peterson. Tyler

204
00:13:33.960 --> 00:13:39.279
just had some back stuff get tightened
up, tightened up on him on Sunday,

205
00:13:39.000 --> 00:13:43.360
So obviously we can retro him.
Don't know when he's going to start

206
00:13:43.399 --> 00:13:48.120
after the break, but it shouldn't
be too much further after the second half,

207
00:13:48.320 --> 00:13:52.039
and he don't backs up before it's
you know, the big body guy.

208
00:13:52.080 --> 00:13:56.240
I think, yeah, and so
sometimes it's there, then it's not,

209
00:13:56.840 --> 00:13:58.480
but I think butting up to the
All Star break, we just wanted

210
00:13:58.480 --> 00:14:01.679
to get ahead. It would be
close to it for hys pitch, Like

211
00:14:01.759 --> 00:14:05.120
how much were we as are we
going to make it maybe a time off

212
00:14:05.240 --> 00:14:07.759
for him this year? You know, it just sort of lined up with

213
00:14:07.879 --> 00:14:13.480
the All Star break, So we've
obviously been thinking about that with no real

214
00:14:13.559 --> 00:14:18.279
idea when it might or might not
happen. But with the backflare up,

215
00:14:18.320 --> 00:14:20.120
we just thought this is as good
a time as any how much for the

216
00:14:20.159 --> 00:14:26.519
way he's pitch recently. Factor did
hit No, not one. We expected

217
00:14:26.600 --> 00:14:30.679
him to make the start on Thursday, but with the backflare up then it

218
00:14:30.840 --> 00:14:33.360
just kind of made sense. All
right, there's Dave Roberts talking about Tyler

219
00:14:33.399 --> 00:14:37.039
glas Now and his injury going to
the IL. More on that coming up

220
00:14:37.039 --> 00:14:39.799

Joining Tim Cats on Dodgers on Deck,

232
00:15:37.120 --> 00:15:41.720
I accept everybody for who they are. This is Dodger Insider David all Right,

233
00:15:41.759 --> 00:15:46.080
Dave gotta start with the big news. Tyler Glass now on the IL

234
00:15:46.679 --> 00:15:50.240
he goes on before the All Star
break, not gonna pitch in the Midsummer

235
00:15:50.279 --> 00:15:54.240
Classic, and then you've got kind
of a buffer here with that break.

236
00:15:54.480 --> 00:15:56.120
How long is he gonna be out? Well, it's interesting, Tim that

237
00:15:56.240 --> 00:16:02.960
Dave Roberts said that he injured his
back on Sunday. Tyler Glassnow did not

238
00:16:03.039 --> 00:16:07.720
start Sunday's games, So did he
tweak it while he was playing catch off

239
00:16:07.720 --> 00:16:11.360
a flat ground? When did this
back issue flare up? And he did

240
00:16:11.440 --> 00:16:17.440
say that it did not affect his
last few starts, where he's been as

241
00:16:17.480 --> 00:16:21.440
we should say, a little more
human than what he was, say,

242
00:16:21.720 --> 00:16:26.360
a month ago. My thoughts are
that there is no doubt something flared up

243
00:16:26.399 --> 00:16:30.799
with Glassnow's back, But instead of
trying to push him for one more start

244
00:16:30.919 --> 00:16:36.480
before the All Star break, the
Dodgers off that this is a good idea

245
00:16:37.200 --> 00:16:41.919
to shut you down. Skip just
one more start, and at this point

246
00:16:41.919 --> 00:16:45.080
in time in the season, you'll
get at least ten days to get ready

247
00:16:45.120 --> 00:16:48.440
to come back. Sorry, Tyler, you won't be able to pitch in

248
00:16:48.480 --> 00:16:52.639
the All Star Game, but there's
a bigger picture here and we can't take

249
00:16:52.639 --> 00:16:59.679
any chances with you, especially since
Yoshi Yamamoto is out for an undisclosed amount

250
00:16:59.679 --> 00:17:02.039
of time. I mean, you
gotta start looking at his numbers too,

251
00:17:02.120 --> 00:17:04.759
right, A year ago career high
twenty one starts, one hundred and twenty

252
00:17:04.759 --> 00:17:08.039
innings, he's already at eighteen starts, haven't got to get the All Star

253
00:17:08.079 --> 00:17:11.720
Game yet, and he's already at
one hundred and nine innings. Last year,

254
00:17:11.720 --> 00:17:12.960
again, one hundred and twenty was
his high. Well, at some

255
00:17:14.039 --> 00:17:15.960
point he's going to have to go
beyond one hundred and twenty innings. The

256
00:17:17.039 --> 00:17:21.759
Dodger is not only traded for him, but also gave him a very nice

257
00:17:21.839 --> 00:17:26.759
contract extension to not be a twenty
start, one hundred and twenty innings pitcher.

258
00:17:26.079 --> 00:17:30.079
They're looking for a guy to take
the next step in his career,

259
00:17:30.480 --> 00:17:33.079
not only in the regular season,
but he is going to be counted on

260
00:17:33.200 --> 00:17:38.440
to be the Dodgers horse in October. Is he ready for that? That

261
00:17:38.599 --> 00:17:42.759
still remains to be seen. Six
different Dodgers selected to go to the All

262
00:17:42.759 --> 00:17:47.319
Star Game, including tay Oscar Hernandez. David and I know you've talked about

263
00:17:47.359 --> 00:17:51.160
it. He wants to be in
this All Star Home run derby hasn't been

264
00:17:51.200 --> 00:17:56.000
announced yet. He's told me on
two different occasions that he wants in on

265
00:17:56.039 --> 00:18:00.799
the Home Run Derby. He's just
waiting for an invitation from Major League Baseball,

266
00:18:00.119 --> 00:18:03.839
and on Sunday, after he was
selected to his second All Star team,

267
00:18:04.359 --> 00:18:11.119
he went on the record again and
disclosed that he wants in. You've

268
00:18:11.200 --> 00:18:14.599
said that if he made the All
Star team, he would love to be

269
00:18:14.599 --> 00:18:18.079
in the Home Run Derby. Is
that still something you're interested in? Yeah?

270
00:18:18.160 --> 00:18:21.160
Yeah, why not? U Obviousually
in my career, I wanted to.

271
00:18:21.400 --> 00:18:23.960
I wanted to be a part of
it, see how it feels,

272
00:18:23.960 --> 00:18:29.359
and why not trying to go for
it and win everything. So now it's

273
00:18:29.359 --> 00:18:32.279
official, your name's out there.
I don't know. I don't know.

274
00:18:32.599 --> 00:18:38.160
It depends how MLV wants to decide
yes or no, but I'm able to.

275
00:18:38.799 --> 00:18:42.519
I'm gonna be oping to to participate
on it. Why hasn't Major League

276
00:18:42.519 --> 00:18:48.880
Baseball invited him? He's a guy
that wants to participate. They selected Pete

277
00:18:48.880 --> 00:18:53.680
Alonzo, many believe, over Francisco
Lindor because they want that narrative in the

278
00:18:53.720 --> 00:18:57.880
Home Run Derby. They want the
polar Bear there to defend his crown.

279
00:18:59.319 --> 00:19:03.839
But why not have a player that's
eager to participate? And Taoscar Hernandez also

280
00:19:03.960 --> 00:19:07.799
told me, Tim, he is
bringing the Sunflower seats for the National League

281
00:19:07.799 --> 00:19:11.920
All Star Team. Love that David
is driven by Ford. If there's one

282
00:19:11.960 --> 00:19:15.400
thing we like, its choices,
find yours with the Ford F one to

283
00:19:15.400 --> 00:19:21.319
fifty gas hybrid or all electric tough
This mart can only be called f one

284
00:19:21.680 --> 00:19:25.680
fifty all right? A former Dodger, David could be on the radar as

285
00:19:25.720 --> 00:19:30.279
far as a trade, that's right. Nathan Avaldi, the former Dodger who

286
00:19:30.319 --> 00:19:34.839
was traded for Hanley Ramirez back in
August of twenty twelve. The Rangers are

287
00:19:36.039 --> 00:19:40.480
seven and a half games back of
first place in the AL West. They're

288
00:19:40.480 --> 00:19:44.640
eight games out of the wildcard spot, the final wildcard spot, and Ken

289
00:19:44.720 --> 00:19:49.599
Rosenthal reported the Rangers are open to
best sellers. And Nathan Avaldi has one

290
00:19:49.640 --> 00:19:55.920
more year left on his contract because
he's only sixty nine innings away from a

291
00:19:56.000 --> 00:20:00.839
twenty million dollar cost to kick in
for next year if the Range are sellers.

292
00:20:00.359 --> 00:20:04.640
Nathan Evaldi is a guy that is
a proven winner, two time World

293
00:20:04.680 --> 00:20:10.480
Series champion. And I've talked to
former teammates and opponents of him, Tim,

294
00:20:10.759 --> 00:20:14.160
and they said, if there was
one pitcher they would want in Game

295
00:20:14.279 --> 00:20:18.039
seven of a must win playoff series. It would be Nathan Avaldi. If

296
00:20:18.039 --> 00:20:22.240
he's available, he would be a
big time target. It's worth repeating,

297
00:20:22.279 --> 00:20:26.000
David. As we get closer to
the deadline, it's a lot of teams

298
00:20:26.000 --> 00:20:30.000
still left fighting for possible postseason play
and that smaller's the market up a little

299
00:20:30.000 --> 00:20:33.359
bit, right right, But it's
starting to clear up a little bit as

300
00:20:33.359 --> 00:20:38.480
we get closer to the end of
July. The teams that are going to

301
00:20:38.559 --> 00:20:44.000
be buyers and the teams that are
going to be sellers are starting to be

302
00:20:44.079 --> 00:20:49.680
more clearly defined. The Washington Nationals
also are sellers, despite them being maybe

303
00:20:49.880 --> 00:20:56.240
a year ahead of schedule in their
rebuild. Former Dodger Dylan Floro is having

304
00:20:56.279 --> 00:21:00.119
a great year with Washington. His
eras two zero six. He also may

305
00:21:00.119 --> 00:21:03.200
be on the Dodgers radar. A
name to keep an eye out there for

306
00:21:03.359 --> 00:21:06.640
David. Appreciate it. We'll check
back in with you in just a couple

307
00:21:06.680 --> 00:21:08.319

I'm Wrongo Causino Dodgers on deck. Well

Mike Piazza returning home to Philadelphia.
Goodbye, absolutely crushed. Well,

318
00:22:17.960 --> 00:22:22.119
Ted, if you're watching, whatever
you told twelve year old Mike Piazza,

319
00:22:22.319 --> 00:22:26.279
he listened very careful. Mike.
You told us before the game the dreams

320
00:22:26.279 --> 00:22:30.440
come true. But could you ever
have dreamed of this type of scenario winning

321
00:22:30.440 --> 00:22:33.279
the MVP here in philip I really
can. I mean, I'm just I'm

322
00:22:33.319 --> 00:22:40.440
trying to keep myself calm down,
but I'm very very happy and just very

323
00:22:40.440 --> 00:22:42.799
excited. It's tremendous honor growing up
in this ballpark, and you know,

324
00:22:42.960 --> 00:22:47.039
just to be just to participate here
is one thing, and then to do

325
00:22:47.119 --> 00:22:51.559
pretty well is another is another thing. Mike Piazza from Norristown, Pennsylvania.

326
00:22:51.599 --> 00:22:56.559

nineteen ninety six, the home run a

00:23:17.880 --> 00:23:21.759
leading you up to first pitch from
Philadelphia Dodgers and Phillies. I'm Tim Kasis,

David Bass saying, here's La Dodgers broadcaster

341
00:24:03.960 --> 00:24:08.279
and World Series champion Dodger Rick Monday. Well, Rick Monday knows a thing

342
00:24:08.359 --> 00:24:15.359
or two about playing in Philadelphia under
the heat and also the hostile environment.

343
00:24:15.799 --> 00:24:19.720
I've played in two nlcs's against the
Phillies in seventy seven and seventy eight.

344
00:24:19.839 --> 00:24:26.240
Rick, does it have that playoff
feel today? And know it has that

345
00:24:26.359 --> 00:24:30.119
feel where you realize is that,
Hey, there's this thing called a high

346
00:24:30.119 --> 00:24:33.880
temperature and be very high humidity.
And I think this is going to be

347
00:24:33.920 --> 00:24:40.119
a challenging series for maybe starting pitchers
to be able to who stands tallest in

348
00:24:40.200 --> 00:24:42.599
this heat and the humidity, and
who has who asked the labor and who

349
00:24:42.680 --> 00:24:45.880
does not have the labor on the
mound. And if you're looking at Bobby

350
00:24:45.880 --> 00:24:48.200
Miller, this might be a good
time for him to be able to find

351
00:24:48.200 --> 00:24:52.839
that strength zone and work consistency.
Then he's been able to quite frankly,

352
00:24:52.880 --> 00:24:56.000
for most of the six starts that
he's had already. Rick, when you

353
00:24:56.039 --> 00:24:59.960
look at Bobby Miller and his last
start, things really could have fallen apart

354
00:25:00.079 --> 00:25:03.440
on him in that fourth inning,
but he talked about keeping his composure.

355
00:25:03.960 --> 00:25:07.759
How important is that for him tonight
as well? Well, I think it

356
00:25:07.839 --> 00:25:11.400
is because you're dealing with well,
let's be honest. You have two clubs

357
00:25:11.400 --> 00:25:17.119
here that will be represented by thirteen
players in the All Star Game. One

358
00:25:17.160 --> 00:25:19.359
of them, unfortunately, Tyler Glass, now goes on the injured list for

359
00:25:19.400 --> 00:25:25.920
the Dodgers, but for the Phillies
they have a record setting seven players headed

360
00:25:26.119 --> 00:25:29.720
to the All Star Games. So
for Miller and that last outing, and

361
00:25:29.759 --> 00:25:33.640
that was on Tuesday, you know, five innings, two runs on the

362
00:25:33.680 --> 00:25:37.640
fourheads, gave up a home run. But you know, he walks guys

363
00:25:37.920 --> 00:25:44.240
and really relying upon, you know, critical pitches. He's walked fifteen guys

364
00:25:44.279 --> 00:25:47.640
in the number of innings that he
has worked so far. The other part

365
00:25:47.680 --> 00:25:49.519
too, David, I don't know, I've said this before during the broadcast.

366
00:25:49.559 --> 00:25:53.599
I don't know if it's by design, or as a result of the

367
00:25:53.680 --> 00:25:59.440
shoulder situation that he had. But
we are not seeing. For example,

368
00:25:59.799 --> 00:26:03.119
if we look at the last couple
of years Bobby Miller are thrown something like

369
00:26:03.160 --> 00:26:06.400
two hundred pitches one hundred miles an
hour or more, we have not seen

370
00:26:06.440 --> 00:26:08.200
that. I don't think it's necessary
to throw one hundred miles an hour,

371
00:26:08.599 --> 00:26:14.160
but it's between ninety six and ninety
seven ish, maybe ninety eight, which

372
00:26:14.200 --> 00:26:18.160
is fine. But the location has
been the problem, not necessarily the velocity.

373
00:26:18.279 --> 00:26:21.359
And what I was trying to say, Rick is, oh, hey,

374
00:26:21.440 --> 00:26:25.160
look at Bobby Miller looking at the
scoreboard. It feels like a lot

375
00:26:25.200 --> 00:26:30.240
of times he's chasing velocity. Yep, yep. And I think you know,

376
00:26:30.319 --> 00:26:33.960
there are some ballparks over the years. You might have talked about this

377
00:26:33.000 --> 00:26:37.880
before. There's some ballparks over the
years that know that a pitcher chases velocity.

378
00:26:37.960 --> 00:26:41.119
And by that you look up on
the scoreboard, and trust me,

379
00:26:41.759 --> 00:26:47.759
the pitchers know and the hitters know
exactly where it is located on the scoreboards

380
00:26:47.759 --> 00:26:51.799
that indicate the velocity the last pitch
of this throne. And when you're chasing

381
00:26:51.880 --> 00:26:55.279
velocity, that means is a picture
you turn around and see what's going on.

382
00:26:55.359 --> 00:26:57.200
Here's my point. I know that
over the years there have been some

383
00:26:57.279 --> 00:27:03.400
ball clubs that purposely have dialed the
radar gun down. So, in other

384
00:27:03.440 --> 00:27:06.799
words, if David Vassays used to
throwing at ninety six miles an hour,

385
00:27:07.279 --> 00:27:11.200
I dial it down to ninety three. If you look at the scoreboard you're

386
00:27:11.240 --> 00:27:14.599
trying to chase velocity, you only
see ninety three. Now do you try

387
00:27:14.599 --> 00:27:17.720
and put something a little extra on
it to get to the ninety six that

388
00:27:17.799 --> 00:27:21.720
you're normally receiving? And that's you
know, that's a dangerous area. And

389
00:27:21.839 --> 00:27:23.200
some teams have done down in the
past. I had no idea if they

390
00:27:23.240 --> 00:27:26.200
do it here, I doubt it
very seriously. But it's something to really

391
00:27:26.279 --> 00:27:30.759
kind of watch. Rick. Speaking
of tricks, we've heard about the Dodgers

392
00:27:30.799 --> 00:27:36.960
at Yankee Stadium. There's on and
on rivals trying to do things to undermine

393
00:27:37.000 --> 00:27:41.359
the opponent in their home stadium.
Do you remember anything like that happening in

394
00:27:41.400 --> 00:27:45.960
Philadelphia when you played, No,
I was too busy as the heckler that

395
00:27:45.039 --> 00:27:48.160
was on me for eight years.
It was sitting behind the dugout at Veterans

396
00:27:48.160 --> 00:27:52.559
Stadium that for eight years was on
me. From the moment came out for

397
00:27:52.599 --> 00:27:55.920
batting practice and then on deckford during
a ballgame that'd yell at me, called

398
00:27:55.920 --> 00:27:59.160
me a bump, called me everything
else that could be. In eight years,

399
00:27:59.240 --> 00:28:02.240
I never looked him. I never
turned around. I didn't know where

400
00:28:02.240 --> 00:28:04.720
he sat. I knew it was
somewhere within the first few rows behind the

401
00:28:04.839 --> 00:28:10.640
visiting third base dugout uh and then
and I had pretty good success against the

402
00:28:10.680 --> 00:28:15.480
Philadelphia pitching staff. In one game, I'm getting ready to come out before

403
00:28:15.519 --> 00:28:17.720
batting practice, says Okay, here
we go. I'm going to listen to

404
00:28:17.759 --> 00:28:21.359
this guy with the leather lungs again. And he wasn't there. And I

405
00:28:21.400 --> 00:28:23.920
had a miserable game that wasn't there
during the during the game itself, come

406
00:28:23.960 --> 00:28:27.160
to the on deck circle in silence. And the next day I come out

407
00:28:27.240 --> 00:28:30.880
to take VP and he goes,
hey, hey, Monday, you bumped

408
00:28:30.920 --> 00:28:33.319
you on turn the first time I
see this guy, And I said,

409
00:28:33.519 --> 00:28:37.559
where in the heck were you yesterday? I said, I put up with

410
00:28:37.599 --> 00:28:40.400
you for eight years. I've never
looked at you. I've never made any

411
00:28:40.480 --> 00:28:44.079
gestures towards you. I'd never said
a word to you. Where were you?

412
00:28:44.240 --> 00:28:47.039
He says, Well, my daughter
graduated from high school yesterday. I

413
00:28:47.079 --> 00:28:48.680
said, well that's all, that's
all good. Uh, but don't ever

414
00:28:48.759 --> 00:28:52.160
do that again. And when the
game started, I come to the on

415
00:28:52.240 --> 00:28:53.920
deck circle goes, Hey, come
on, Rick. For eight years I

416
00:28:53.960 --> 00:28:59.200
put up with that guy. Kill
him with kindness. Rick, absolutely city

417
00:28:59.240 --> 00:29:02.359
of brotherly law. David can't wait
to hear the game tonight. Rick,

your time, James, appreciate it
absolutely. We've seen you pitch obviously,

438
00:30:33.160 --> 00:30:36.240
good for the team. It's been
great, and I've had an awesome experience

439
00:30:36.279 --> 00:30:41.160
here. Teammates are awesome, coaching
staff, training staff, training staff.

440
00:30:41.160 --> 00:30:45.119
Everybody's treating really well, taking great
care of me. Yeah, I feel

441
00:30:45.119 --> 00:30:48.920
like I was just welcome with open
arms. We've heard from other pitchers that

442
00:30:48.000 --> 00:30:52.359
the Dodgers do it better than most
teams around baseball. Have you experienced that

443
00:30:52.480 --> 00:30:56.279
firsthand? Yeah, you know,
I really have. I've gotten a lot

444
00:30:56.279 --> 00:30:59.319
of help with some pitches. You
know. I came in and I needed

445
00:30:59.319 --> 00:31:00.559
to help my chain up and I
really got to help a lot of help

446
00:31:00.559 --> 00:31:03.880
there. And uh, you know, I'm kind of evolving in the way

447
00:31:03.880 --> 00:31:06.880
that I pitch. I don't have
quite the same stuff that I used to

448
00:31:06.960 --> 00:31:10.799
have, and they're they're helping me
make that, make that change and learning

449
00:31:10.839 --> 00:31:14.319
how to pitch with different stuff,
and it's been it's been great. Is

450
00:31:14.319 --> 00:31:18.559
that the first step to understand that
you are evolving, that James Paxton at

451
00:31:18.559 --> 00:31:22.119
this stage of your career is not
that James Paxton from even five years ago.

452
00:31:22.519 --> 00:31:25.839
Yeah, you know, I think
you see it happen to all pitchers

453
00:31:25.880 --> 00:31:29.559
most pictures. You know, you
get a little older, and you lose

454
00:31:29.599 --> 00:31:33.759
in velocity, maybe lose certain sharpness
on certain certain pitches, and you have

455
00:31:33.799 --> 00:31:36.799
to learn how to pitch a little
differently, and uh, you know that

456
00:31:36.839 --> 00:31:38.319
can be tough, and it has
been, you know, frustrating and hard.

457
00:31:38.440 --> 00:31:41.319
But I've had a lot of help
here to uh, to help me

458
00:31:41.400 --> 00:31:45.359
learn how to make that work best. And it's been a good experience.

459
00:31:45.519 --> 00:31:49.839
You always hear about love language when
it comes to relationships. When it comes

460
00:31:49.880 --> 00:31:55.240
to pitching, if somebody says the
same thing but in a different way,

461
00:31:55.680 --> 00:32:00.519
does it click for a pitcher more
than maybe somebody else saying this same thing.

462
00:32:00.079 --> 00:32:01.799
Yeah, you know, I've heard
that. It just depends, I

463
00:32:01.799 --> 00:32:06.799
think different people a little kind of
grasp on it with things that are said

464
00:32:06.839 --> 00:32:08.319
differently. You know, so a
lot of people can say the same thing

465
00:32:08.359 --> 00:32:12.480
to you, but it just takes
you know, someone saying in a way

466
00:32:12.480 --> 00:32:15.880
that you understand that really, like
you said, clicks with you. And

467
00:32:16.599 --> 00:32:21.079
I feel like they've done a really
good job of helping me with that and

468
00:32:21.920 --> 00:32:24.720
you know, finding things that help
me figure things out. What does Connor

469
00:32:24.799 --> 00:32:30.799
McGinnis so do so well that it
seems to really click with so many pitchers.

470
00:32:30.119 --> 00:32:34.039
I think he's just really good at
understanding, you know, pitch grips

471
00:32:34.039 --> 00:32:37.319
and stuff and how guys throw the
baseball, and he's really good at just

472
00:32:37.359 --> 00:32:39.599
explaining how the ball moves and how
to create movement and stuff like that.

473
00:32:40.119 --> 00:32:44.440
He's helped me tremendously with my change
up and my two scenmer. I changed

474
00:32:44.480 --> 00:32:46.920
my grip and my two seam just
the other day, and really help with

475
00:32:46.960 --> 00:32:50.759
the movement. So you know,
I think he's just got so much experience

476
00:32:50.799 --> 00:32:53.279
working with different guys too, that
he knows different things to try and trust.

477
00:32:53.400 --> 00:32:57.519
Right, he builds that trust with
the with the pitcher. And how

478
00:32:57.559 --> 00:33:00.720
does that trust form? Does it
come from seeing what the ball does when

479
00:33:00.720 --> 00:33:06.160
you change things? Or does it? How does the trust start to form?

480
00:33:06.599 --> 00:33:07.400
You know, I think it's just
his personality. You know, he's

481
00:33:07.480 --> 00:33:13.119
very easy to talk to, and
you know, I think he just like

482
00:33:13.160 --> 00:33:15.519
you said, everyone knows how experienced
he is and stuff, how many guys

483
00:33:15.559 --> 00:33:20.400
he's worked with and helped, and
he's very patient with guys. And he

484
00:33:20.480 --> 00:33:22.519
also, you know, is very
good at cheering you on and you know,

485
00:33:22.799 --> 00:33:27.680
encouraging you to keep on trying stuff. I've actually heard change up in

486
00:33:27.799 --> 00:33:31.039
James Paxton a lot more during this
season, so I guess he's really trying

487
00:33:31.039 --> 00:33:34.640
to encourage you to throw that pitch. Yeah, you know, it's a

488
00:33:34.640 --> 00:33:37.599
pitch that I've never really used a
whole bunch of my career, but like

489
00:33:37.640 --> 00:33:39.200
I said, where I'm at right
now with my career myself, it's a

490
00:33:39.200 --> 00:33:44.839
pitch that is extremely useful. I've
heard Kershaw talk about change up envy.

491
00:33:45.039 --> 00:33:46.880
Do you have change up envy as
well? Oh? For sure, you

492
00:33:46.920 --> 00:33:51.640
know guys with great change jobs.
It's a it's a pitch that's so effective,

493
00:33:51.759 --> 00:33:54.079
especially you've got a really good one, so it's fun to kind of

494
00:33:54.079 --> 00:33:58.920
play with and have some success with
it. Now. James Paxton is our

495
00:33:58.960 --> 00:34:02.160
guest in front of first pitch and
James, you've been unbelievable. I feel

496
00:34:02.160 --> 00:34:07.119
like Houdini level where you're able to
navigate in and out of traffic. How

497
00:34:07.119 --> 00:34:13.000
have you been able to do that
so successfully all season? Just sticking with

498
00:34:13.079 --> 00:34:15.159
my process, you know, it's
I'm on the mound and I'm giving everything

499
00:34:15.159 --> 00:34:19.119
I got in every pitch and doesn't
no matter what's going on around me.

500
00:34:19.159 --> 00:34:22.719
I'm focused on throwing my next pitch. And you know, just I think

501
00:34:22.800 --> 00:34:29.000
just having that mental kind of approach
has helped me work through situations where you

502
00:34:29.079 --> 00:34:31.840
I know, I mentioned at the
beginning of this that you're a proud Canadian.

503
00:34:32.119 --> 00:34:37.320
What was it like for you when
you saw Eric Gagne last week be

504
00:34:37.880 --> 00:34:42.079
introduced and throwing out the ceremonial first
pitch. It's pretty cool, you know.

505
00:34:42.159 --> 00:34:45.599
It's it's awesome to see those guys
that have represented Canada so well and

506
00:34:45.639 --> 00:34:50.400
had so much success. You know, come out and just be examples of

507
00:34:50.440 --> 00:34:52.559
what you know Canadian baseball players can
be. And he's a great one.

508
00:34:52.719 --> 00:34:58.159
What is baseball like for a young
man in Canada? Is it as big

509
00:34:58.159 --> 00:35:01.039
of a deal as hockey is?
Or you outlier when you decide I'm going

510
00:35:01.119 --> 00:35:05.920
to pursue baseball. You know,
I think it's getting more popular. There's

511
00:35:05.960 --> 00:35:08.159
definitely some good leagues up there.
There's not as many as in the States,

512
00:35:08.199 --> 00:35:12.719
obviously, but there's some great programs
and there's a lot of really good

513
00:35:12.719 --> 00:35:15.199
baseball players coming out of Canada these
days. Yeah. Yeah, Are you

514
00:35:15.239 --> 00:35:17.679
a big hockey fan? I would
say I'm a big hockey fan. I

515
00:35:19.119 --> 00:35:22.119
enjoy I really like watching it live
live. Hockey is one of my favorite

516
00:35:22.119 --> 00:35:25.239
sports to watch. I could see
it being something that I get into watching

517
00:35:25.280 --> 00:35:30.159
more when I'm done playing baseball.
Would you lean anyway with the team in

518
00:35:30.199 --> 00:35:34.559
Canada? Oh? I gotta stick
with my Canucks, you know, Vancouver

519
00:35:34.880 --> 00:35:38.199
hometown team. I'll be a Canucks
fan forever. See, this is what

520
00:35:38.239 --> 00:35:42.760
I wanted. I wanted that Canadian
accent to come out. Can you just

521
00:35:42.800 --> 00:35:47.719
say organization once? Organization? Thanks
a lot for the time, James.

522
00:35:47.719 --> 00:35:51.960
Great to watch you pitch this year
and continued health the rest of the way.

523
00:35:52.119 --> 00:35:53.519
Absolutely, thank you very much.
There he is the man, James

524

Paxton, a proud Canadian. We'll

four year old right hand in his
twelfth season in the big leagues, is

fifth with the Phillies, making his
nineteen start this Hay year last time out

00:37:00.840 --> 00:37:02.960
six innings, two runs, five
hits, seven strikeouts and a no decision

541
00:37:04.000 --> 00:37:07.000
against the Cubs. He's going for
his tenth win of the season, and

542
00:37:07.039 --> 00:37:09.159
if he does, it'll be the
first time ever in his career that he's

543
00:37:09.199 --> 00:37:15.039
had ten wins before the All Star
break. Wheeler has added a splitter to

544
00:37:15.159 --> 00:37:17.519
his repertoire pitches this year. Into
that mix, he's now limiting a hitters

545
00:37:17.519 --> 00:37:21.880
to a one to seventy one batting
average against the Dodgers so far in his

546
00:37:21.920 --> 00:37:24.159
career six starts, two and two
with a four to seventy two RORA and

547
00:37:24.400 --> 00:37:28.840

00:37:31.360 --> 00:37:35.440
Remember, he spent a couple of
weeks on the IL with some shoulder tightness

550
00:37:35.559 --> 00:37:37.639
last time out. Five innings,
two runs, four hits, four strikeouts,

551
00:37:37.679 --> 00:37:40.920
and a no decision against the Diamondbacks. Facing the Phillies for the second

552
00:37:42.000 --> 00:37:45.039
time in his young career, he
faced him in June of last year.

553
00:37:45.519 --> 00:37:50.079
Six innings. He gave up three
hits, three walks, and struck out

554

564
00:38:45.239 --> 00:38:47.360
the two guys on the call,
Rick Monday, Tim Neverertts. Tim,

565
00:38:47.440 --> 00:38:52.280
thanks again, We count you down
to the first pitch tonight in Philadelphia Citizens

566
00:38:52.360 --> 00:38:55.880
Bank Park between the two top teams
in the National League, Phillies at fifty

567
00:38:55.920 --> 00:39:00.440
eight and thirty two the Dodgers fifty
five and thirty six, both teams seven

568
00:39:00.480 --> 00:39:05.599
and a half up and leading their
divisions. Bobby Miller gets to go.

569
00:39:05.719 --> 00:39:08.639
This will be his fourth start since
coming off the injured list after suffering right

570
00:39:08.800 --> 00:39:14.960
shoulder inflammation. He pitched last Thursday
against Arizona, got a no decision,

571
00:39:15.599 --> 00:39:19.000
allowed two runs in five innings,
which was good. That was his longest

572
00:39:19.000 --> 00:39:22.079
outing since coming back from the IL. Yeah longest outing, but for Bobby,

573
00:39:22.119 --> 00:39:24.239
Billy needs to find the striketh zone
with more consistency and against a good

574
00:39:24.280 --> 00:39:28.400
fast ball hitting team, which the
Phillies qualify in that area. He's going

575
00:39:28.440 --> 00:39:31.519
to need those secondary pitches i e. The curve ball and the changeup,

576
00:39:31.519 --> 00:39:35.519
and the doctors have to figure out
how to hit the fast ball off of

577
00:39:35.639 --> 00:39:38.320
Zach Wheeler first of all, with
two strikes. He pitches inside a lot

578
00:39:38.760 --> 00:39:43.239
the last three years, the first
pitch is going to be a fastball if

579
00:39:43.239 --> 00:39:46.000
he's day's tune to what he has
done in that period of time. So

580
00:39:46.239 --> 00:39:52.000
a low batting average against again with
Wheeler only one ninety four average overall.

581
00:39:52.079 --> 00:39:54.119
So he's a guy he's not afraid
to come inside if you're a hitter.

582
00:39:54.320 --> 00:39:59.039
And Zach Wheeler named his second All
Star team. He's also one of the

583
00:39:59.239 --> 00:40:04.119
early favorite for the National League Young
Award. That's your pitching matchup tonight,

584
00:40:04.239 --> 00:40:08.960
Zach Wheeler for the Phillies against Bobby
Miller for the Dodgers. As we get

585
00:40:09.000 --> 00:40:13.840
you set for this one, lineups
and first pitch are just around the corner,

586
00:40:14.000 --> 00:40:16.800
all right. Dodgers start the night
fifty five and thirty six first place

587
00:40:16.880 --> 00:40:22.119
all alone atop the Western Division of
the National League. The Padres seven and

588
00:40:22.159 --> 00:40:25.519
a half games back of the Dodgers. Padres home tonight against the Seattle Mariners.

589
00:40:25.519 --> 00:40:30.599
Meanwhile, the Arizona Diamondbacks they are
ten games back in the division.

590
00:40:30.840 --> 00:40:35.159
The Snakes will play host to the
Atlanta Braves later on this evening. Giants

591
00:40:35.280 --> 00:40:38.719
way back, Rockies even further back
in the division. It's a battle of

592
00:40:38.760 --> 00:40:45.119
the first place Dodgers against the first
placed Phillies. Don't forget after the game.

593
00:40:45.199 --> 00:40:47.960
David vest State's got you cover with
all the postgame festivities and Dodger talk

594
00:40:49.079 --> 00:40:52.000
