Thank you Tim. Great afternoon for a ball game of 60 00:04:13.280 --> 00:04:16.759 the Motor City. As the Dodgers looked to win their second game against the 61 00:04:16.800 --> 00:04:20.560 Detroit Tigers last night, a thriller come from behind win, tying it in 62 00:04:20.560 --> 00:04:24.800 the eighth, going ahead in the ninth, the bullpen doing an exceptional job, 63 00:04:25.240 --> 00:04:29.120 The wheels were in motion managerially, and even the guys in the video 64 00:04:29.240 --> 00:04:31.879 room had a big impact on the game last night. You had a little 65 00:04:31.879 --> 00:04:35.399 bit of everything, had a little bit of everything. And for the video 66 00:04:35.480 --> 00:04:41.519 room, kudos two for two and really big big points. There was a 67 00:04:41.560 --> 00:04:46.879 runner safe or out, and for the video guys, you know, we 68 00:04:46.920 --> 00:04:50.000 look at that and it can really kind of turn the mode. And the 69 00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:54.839 doctors had to rely upon a couple of very critical calls and being able to 70 00:04:54.920 --> 00:04:58.399 go forward. You mentioned the bullpen. How about this in the bullpen, 71 00:04:58.439 --> 00:05:01.519 I mean they started if we look back to Wednesday, for example, the 72 00:05:01.560 --> 00:05:08.319 Dodgers bullpen on the road this year the lowest era of any team in baseball. 73 00:05:08.399 --> 00:05:13.279 Now the average is just over four runs every nine innings, bullpens on 74 00:05:13.319 --> 00:05:15.480 the road well, the Dodgers under two and a half, and they have 75 00:05:15.560 --> 00:05:19.920 stood tall in particular last night, coming in five and a third innings, 76 00:05:19.920 --> 00:05:24.519 they covered no runs, just three hits, struck out six on top of 77 00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:28.439 it, and the Diamers had to go to the bullpen five different arms called 78 00:05:28.480 --> 00:05:31.879 upon. Now, the Dodgers start the day fifty six and thirty nine. 79 00:05:31.879 --> 00:05:38.079 They are eight games up on the Arizona Diamondbacks and San Diego Padres, who 80 00:05:38.079 --> 00:05:42.920 are now tied for second place. The Tigers forty five and fifty and in 81 00:05:42.959 --> 00:05:46.480 the American League Central Division in fourth place, they are thirteen games behind the 82 00:05:46.560 --> 00:05:51.800 leaders, the Cleveland Guardians. So this interleague matchup today, the Dodgers have 83 00:05:53.000 --> 00:05:57.160 done very well in interleague play fourteen and seven. Meantime, the Tigers are 84 00:05:57.240 --> 00:06:00.680 fifteen and seventeen. They're getting towards the end of their end play. The 85 00:06:00.800 --> 00:06:08.199 pitching matchup, Justin Robleski will make his second start as a Major leaguer Kaider 86 00:06:08.319 --> 00:06:13.040 Montero one and two. He's up from TRIPAA for his fifth appearance and his 87 00:06:13.040 --> 00:06:15.519 fourth start. So a couple of young pitchers going at it today, and 88 00:06:15.800 --> 00:06:20.240 with the way the Dodgers started hitting the ball in clutch situations late in the 89 00:06:20.240 --> 00:06:24.519 game. Maybe they're just about ready to break out and start doing better with 90 00:06:24.600 --> 00:06:27.439 runners and scoring position. Yeah, wouldn't that be a nice thing. The 91 00:06:27.480 --> 00:06:30.120 Dodger's going with the more left handed hitters in the lineup today. Oh Tani, 92 00:06:30.199 --> 00:06:33.040 the lefty freeman, the lefty. He's in there, Gavin lux is 93 00:06:33.079 --> 00:06:36.279 at second base, Calvin Bigio gets to start at third base, and in 94 00:06:36.399 --> 00:06:41.399 the left handed batter and at the bottom of the order. Maybe the hottest 95 00:06:41.480 --> 00:06:45.920 hitter on this Dodger back club, that being Austin Barnes six consecutive games. 96 00:06:45.959 --> 00:06:50.120 He's hit in two in particular, came in last night and delivered a base 97 00:06:50.199 --> 00:06:54.240 hit that coming in the ninth inning as well. So this Dodger ball club, 98 00:06:54.279 --> 00:06:58.000 maybe on a roll, snapped that four game losey streak looking for victory 99 00:06:58.079 --> 00:07:00.160 number fifty seven of the year. It was a win that they needed to 100 00:07:00.199 --> 00:07:04.279 have last night. They found a way and shohey O'tani had the clutch hit 101 00:07:04.759 --> 00:07:08.199 in the ninth. Then they missing a home run by a few feet, 102 00:07:08.240 --> 00:07:11.240 but it hit off the warning track and dead center field bounced ump into the 103 00:07:11.240 --> 00:07:15.879 bushes for a ground rule double. For a clutch hit, and prior to 104 00:07:15.879 --> 00:07:17.879 that he had struggled a bit. He grounded out, flied out twice, 105 00:07:17.920 --> 00:07:21.319 and then struck out in the eighth inning before having the big clutch hit in 106 00:07:21.360 --> 00:07:25.240 the ninth. Well, Otani, if we look at the last ten games, 107 00:07:25.279 --> 00:07:28.199 he's eight for thirty three. That's the two to forty two batting average 108 00:07:28.199 --> 00:07:32.560 against. One thing that we see each in every game. Pitchers go very 109 00:07:32.639 --> 00:07:36.199 carefully in how they worked to it Tony last night. They tried to keep 110 00:07:36.240 --> 00:07:40.920 the ball away most of the time and then occasionally trying to pop it inside 111 00:07:41.079 --> 00:07:44.040 and surprise him on that fast boat in on his hands. One thing we'll 112 00:07:44.040 --> 00:07:46.240 see if the Dodgers can do first today, that is score a run. 113 00:07:46.920 --> 00:07:51.639 Ten times in the last twelve games the opposition has scored first, and when 114 00:07:51.639 --> 00:07:55.920 the Dodgers score first, they've got the best record in Major League Baseball at 115 00:07:55.959 --> 00:07:59.240 forty one and six. We'll see if they can get on the board right 116 00:07:59.279 --> 00:08:03.360 away in this ball game this afternoon, Dodgers Tigers Interleague Baseball in Detroit, 117 00:08:03.399 --> 00:08:07.600 Game two of this three game weekend series coming up.

The Otani rewind brought to 143 00:10:03.519 --> 00:10:09.000 you by eto ins Oil Chad, Japan's number one Green Tea and the Tea 144 00:10:09.080 --> 00:10:13.679 that show Hey o Tani loves and drinks available at local Diso stores, Amazon 145 00:10:13.840 --> 00:10:18.559 and eto in dot com. That's it o e n dot Com. This 146 00:10:18.039 --> 00:10:24.399 is Kirston's corner with Kirston Watson Kirston now joint sess from Komericall Park before Game 147 00:10:24.399 --> 00:10:28.840 two. There's three game set curiously before we get in today and last night 148 00:10:28.919 --> 00:10:33.919 the Dodgers come back a thrilling come from behind win there against the Tigers. 149 00:10:33.200 --> 00:10:37.480 Got a little hairy there with Daniel Hudson on the Mounta lay, but they 150 00:10:37.600 --> 00:10:41.000 persevered and got the win they did. And even I spoke with Daniel today 151 00:10:41.000 --> 00:10:45.840 and he was saying that it was a really frustrating outing for him because he 152 00:10:45.960 --> 00:10:48.679 just was like, you know, obviously there's gonna be times where you don't 153 00:10:48.720 --> 00:10:50.720 really feel like you have your stuff, but he felt like he had it 154 00:10:50.799 --> 00:10:54.159 to take control of the situation. But those walks, he was just like, 155 00:10:54.399 --> 00:10:58.120 you know, the emotions were getting a little high. So when Will 156 00:10:58.200 --> 00:11:01.519 and Mark probably went out there, give him a little because he was telling 157 00:11:01.519 --> 00:11:05.000 me he was like, you know, top of mind was this team put 158 00:11:05.039 --> 00:11:09.000 in so much fight in effort to come back in this situation, to put 159 00:11:09.000 --> 00:11:11.399 themselves in a chance to win, to the bullpen, giving the support to 160 00:11:11.480 --> 00:11:15.799 James Paxton, the offense finding ways to get going and passing the baton. 161 00:11:15.960 --> 00:11:18.679 So he wanted it really badly, so just to get out of it. 162 00:11:18.720 --> 00:11:22.600 That was everything for him. You know, he was saying, hopefully he 163 00:11:22.639 --> 00:11:26.840 is available today and as wells tomorrow, so hopefully he can be a little 164 00:11:26.840 --> 00:11:30.480 bit cleaner with it if he gets back out there. So he was saying, 165 00:11:30.519 --> 00:11:33.000 you know, now I get to reset and then it's go time. 166 00:11:33.080 --> 00:11:35.440 But he definitely felt good about just getting out of it because he knew how 167 00:11:35.480 --> 00:11:41.840 badly this team wanted to win. Dodgers sending out Justin Robleski the rookie game 168 00:11:41.840 --> 00:11:46.080 too today against the Tigers and his major league debut last weekend against Milwaukee. 169 00:11:46.919 --> 00:11:50.240 Yeah, it's going to be his second career start, and he is someone 170 00:11:50.279 --> 00:11:54.240 who there's going to be some opportunity for him to find a way to stay 171 00:11:54.240 --> 00:11:56.840 in this rotation if he can continue to perform. So when I spoke with 172 00:11:56.919 --> 00:12:00.919 him the other day, he told me, as much as he was excited 173 00:12:00.919 --> 00:12:03.080 about making his debut, you know, the runs he put up, that 174 00:12:03.360 --> 00:12:07.799 wasn't a good outing to him. There were some positives, and he felt 175 00:12:07.799 --> 00:12:09.639 good about that. But he's hoping that this one, you know, he 176 00:12:09.679 --> 00:12:13.240 doesn't have the stress and the nerves of the major league debut, he can 177 00:12:13.240 --> 00:12:16.840 go out there and have a really strong one. I noticed that yesterday during 178 00:12:16.879 --> 00:12:20.879 the game. He is someone who takes a lot of notes, like he 179 00:12:20.960 --> 00:12:24.279 was literally he had his notebook in the dugout with him and after different at 180 00:12:24.279 --> 00:12:26.200 bats he was writing things down. So I was asking Dave today, just 181 00:12:26.600 --> 00:12:30.960 what have you learned about Justin? He said, he's a very cerebral player 182 00:12:31.000 --> 00:12:33.919 and he likes to take in a lot of information and have a lot of 183 00:12:33.919 --> 00:12:37.320 conversation. So the hope is that that can prove to be beneficial for him, 184 00:12:37.399 --> 00:12:41.080 not only today but also just in his career. Dave was saying, 185 00:12:41.120 --> 00:12:45.679 you know, he does feel like Justin's time is now. You know, 186 00:12:45.720 --> 00:12:48.559 we're seeing a lot of guys who are coming up and very deserving for these 187 00:12:48.600 --> 00:12:52.879 opportunities. So if he can continue to perform, there will be opportunity for 188 00:12:52.960 --> 00:12:58.159 him. Because we're still waiting for whether it's Clayton Kershaw who has his rehab 189 00:12:58.200 --> 00:13:01.000 start today and is going to have at least one more before he can return. 190 00:13:01.120 --> 00:13:05.960 Yoshiobu's only started playing catch, so if Bobby Miller might take a little 191 00:13:05.960 --> 00:13:09.360 bit more time at Triple A. There's an even Tyler glass now with his 192 00:13:09.399 --> 00:13:13.039 backs I see. So the list goes on. But you know there's there 193 00:13:13.240 --> 00:13:18.200 might be some time before these guys can return so that they're fully healthy, 194 00:13:18.279 --> 00:13:20.200 and so if Justin can be that guy right now, that would be huge 195 00:13:20.200 --> 00:13:24.279 for this rotation. Yeah, Dodgers definitely need I'm Curriston. We appreciate. 196 00:13:24.320 --> 00:13:26.879 We'll check with you after the game.

All right, let's head back 219 00:15:05.639 --> 00:15:09.639 out to Detroit and check out with the Dodgers, gebber Any questions for Dave 220 00:15:09.720 --> 00:15:15.240 Dave? Can you just describe Dave? Can you talk about the pressure in 221 00:15:15.360 --> 00:15:20.960 the dugouts with Dave Robberts Dave first, just with Justin Robleski today. What 222 00:15:20.000 --> 00:15:24.240 are you hoping to see from him in his second career start? I think 223 00:15:24.279 --> 00:15:31.919 more the same. Really, d has good composure. I like this stuff 224 00:15:33.600 --> 00:15:37.200 and just build on it. I mean, this guy is unfazed. It's 225 00:15:37.440 --> 00:15:39.639 been fun to watch so far, you know, the first one. Even 226 00:15:39.679 --> 00:15:45.480 seeing him today in the clubhouse just kind of it's a calm demeanor. So 227 00:15:45.799 --> 00:15:50.000 we'll see and you know, we'll try to piece it together and get to 228 00:15:50.039 --> 00:15:52.519 this break. I saw him yesterday like he was kind of taking notes during 229 00:15:52.519 --> 00:15:56.720 the game and he was watching it. Does he seem like he's someone who 230 00:15:56.799 --> 00:16:00.519 likes to take in a lot of information ahead of starts. Yeah, he 231 00:16:00.679 --> 00:16:07.039 is, and he's very prepared. He I think he's very cerebral in the 232 00:16:07.080 --> 00:16:11.399 sense of likes to put his thoughts on paper so he can retain it more 233 00:16:11.559 --> 00:16:15.440 does his own homework, you know, even talking to Mark Pryor, He's 234 00:16:15.559 --> 00:16:21.679 very prepared and uses the information that the coaches give him the catchers, but 235 00:16:21.759 --> 00:16:26.240 also has his own kind of idea which I like. So it's a different 236 00:16:26.240 --> 00:16:29.559 approach. It's an old school approach which I can really appreciate. All Right, 237 00:16:29.600 --> 00:16:33.200 there's Dave Roberts down the dugout talking about Justin Robleski, who gets to 238 00:16:33.240 --> 00:16:37.720 start this afternoon.

Joining Tim 250 00:17:33.759 --> 00:17:37.480 Kats on Dodgers on Deck, I accept everybody for who they are. This 251 00:17:37.000 --> 00:17:41.279 is Dodger insider David Basse. All right, David, the man they call 252 00:17:41.400 --> 00:17:47.119 Robo on the mount. Justin Robleski making his second start in a Dodger uniform 253 00:17:47.200 --> 00:17:51.160 against the Brewers. A couple of mistakes hurt him, but otherwise pitch pretty 254 00:17:51.200 --> 00:17:55.319 good. Yeah, he did. Last Sunday at Dodger Stadium. He gave 255 00:17:55.400 --> 00:17:59.200 up four runs in his major league debut, a pair of two run home 256 00:17:59.279 --> 00:18:02.960 runs. But you heard Dave Roberts mention it, Tim, and I'm sure 257 00:18:03.079 --> 00:18:07.240 Dave and Mark Pryor were very impressed that the Skett and report on Justin Robleski 258 00:18:07.359 --> 00:18:15.279 from his Triple A manager Travis Barbery. Is his preparation and how detail oriented 259 00:18:15.359 --> 00:18:18.960 his process is to get ready to game plan against the lineup. And I'm 260 00:18:18.960 --> 00:18:23.000 sure it's been a lot easier for him this week knowing that he is going 261 00:18:23.039 --> 00:18:27.799 to face the Tigers this afternoon. And here's what Justin Robleski had to say 262 00:18:29.039 --> 00:18:33.279 about his major league debut after last Sunday's game. Yeah, I felt good. 263 00:18:33.319 --> 00:18:37.400 It was just kind of a matter of being grateful for the moment and 264 00:18:37.480 --> 00:18:38.960 just kind of That's kind of the big theme is I was kind of on 265 00:18:40.000 --> 00:18:42.279 the way over here today, it's just like I'm really thankful for the opportunity 266 00:18:42.319 --> 00:18:45.920 and you know, at this point, like you're already here, like let's 267 00:18:45.920 --> 00:18:48.279 just do it. And I had a lot of fun. I was. 268 00:18:48.359 --> 00:18:52.240 I felt pretty comfortable out there, so I think I didn't think I was 269 00:18:52.279 --> 00:18:53.640 gonna I thought I was gonna be pretty nervous, but I was just kind 270 00:18:53.640 --> 00:18:56.279 of, I don't know, like any other game. I just felt normal, 271 00:18:56.319 --> 00:19:00.119 felt like I belonged. So it was a lot of fun. Hey, 272 00:19:00.200 --> 00:19:03.720 that's good news that he felt like he belonged. Hopefully he feels that 273 00:19:03.799 --> 00:19:07.079 way when he takes the mound against the Tigers this afternoon. He's going to 274 00:19:07.119 --> 00:19:12.039 bring his ninety seven miles an hour with him on the mound today. For 275 00:19:12.119 --> 00:19:17.039 Clayton Kershaw DV it's a big day for him later, right, huge day 276 00:19:17.119 --> 00:19:22.400 tim not just because he's making a rehab start and not just because he's going 277 00:19:22.440 --> 00:19:27.480 to pitch three innings for Oklahoma City today. But if you remember the last 278 00:19:27.519 --> 00:19:33.440 time he tried to do this in his recovery from left shoulder surgery, the 279 00:19:33.559 --> 00:19:37.759 Dodgers had to put him on ice for a I would say seven to ten 280 00:19:37.880 --> 00:19:42.519 days, and he did need some quartizone shots to cool down the inflammation in 281 00:19:42.599 --> 00:19:47.359 his left shoulder. So today's a big day to see whether or not his 282 00:19:47.440 --> 00:19:52.559 shoulder responds to pitch three innings A and B tomorrow. How does he feel 283 00:19:52.599 --> 00:19:57.000 when he wakes up, Because after his last rehab start at Rancho Kuckamonga, 284 00:19:57.000 --> 00:20:02.079 where he only pitched two innings day after, he felt a lot of soreness, 285 00:20:02.079 --> 00:20:04.680 and that's when the Dodgers and Kershaw had to put things on pause. 286 00:20:04.960 --> 00:20:07.960 David is driven by Ford. If there's one thing we like, its choices, 287 00:20:08.039 --> 00:20:11.960 find yours with the Ford F one to fifty gas Hybrid or the all 288 00:20:12.000 --> 00:20:18.160 electric tough This mark can only be called F one fifty all right. In 289 00:20:18.200 --> 00:20:22.200 a lineup that's got Otani and Freeman and tay Oscar Hernandez, one guy who's 290 00:20:22.359 --> 00:20:27.440 really heating up right now is Austin Barnes yees seven game hitting streak, Tim 291 00:20:27.640 --> 00:20:33.319 and I know that doesn't sound impressive, but it's more impressive than what you 292 00:20:33.480 --> 00:20:37.720 believe, considering he only plays once a week, and that makes it a 293 00:20:37.720 --> 00:20:41.720 lot harder when you're supposed to be a defensive catcher and play once a week 294 00:20:41.799 --> 00:20:45.680 and get four at bats and be expected to be a three hundred hitter. 295 00:20:47.039 --> 00:20:51.279 If you look around the league, most backup catchers are in the two hundred 296 00:20:51.359 --> 00:20:56.319 two to fifty batting average range. But Dave Roberts obviously has to make a 297 00:20:56.359 --> 00:21:00.359 decision. Is he going to play Will Smith today or is he going to 298 00:21:00.400 --> 00:21:03.880 play Will Smith in the day game tomorrow. So he opted for Austin Barnes 299 00:21:03.920 --> 00:21:08.640 today, and the confidence has got to be high, especially since Barnes came 300 00:21:08.680 --> 00:21:14.240 off the bench yesterday in the ninth inning and delivered a basit to set up 301 00:21:14.240 --> 00:21:18.039 show heyo Tani's heroics with two outs. So he's going to keep writing that 302 00:21:18.920 --> 00:21:23.200 OG twenty seventeen, Austin Barnes. Let's hope it continues today. David, 303 00:21:23.279 --> 00:21:26.279 appreciate it. We'll check back you with you in just a little bit. 304 00:21:26.519 --> 00:21:30.240 Coming up, we'll hear from Rich Hill, former Dodger left hander, could 305 00:21:30.279 --> 00:21:33.400 be a big piece to somebody's team come the second half of this season, 306 00:21:33.400 --> 00:21:37.440 you'll hear from him coming up in about fifteen minutes to also dive deeper into 307 00:21:37.480 --> 00:21:41.759 this pitching matchup.

He was elected to the starting lineup via the ride in 317 00:22:37.920 --> 00:22:41.759 ballot, not from a printed ballot because he wasn't on there. No, 318 00:22:41.960 --> 00:22:47.960 the fans wrote him in as a National League starter at first base, and 319 00:22:48.039 --> 00:22:52.799 Steve Garvey proved to be big for the National League and he grilled it into 320 00:22:52.880 --> 00:22:57.119 left a bay ship going to the corner.

Here's LA Dodgers broadcaster 342 00:24:37.000 --> 00:24:42.519 and World Series champion Dodger Rick Monday. Rick, I hate to overemphasize any 343 00:24:42.599 --> 00:24:45.680 win in the month of July, but I felt like that was a huge 344 00:24:45.720 --> 00:24:51.680 win, especially the way the Dodgers did it yesterday against Trek Schouble and the 345 00:24:51.759 --> 00:24:57.039 Tigers. I agree. I agree, Tim Neverett and Dwayne McDonald they both 346 00:24:57.079 --> 00:25:00.480 agree as well. You know we watched it close and personal last night. 347 00:25:02.440 --> 00:25:06.960 I think also because you're trying to break a four game losing streak, and 348 00:25:07.039 --> 00:25:10.480 the Dodgers were not playing particularly well. Well last night they finally got a 349 00:25:10.519 --> 00:25:15.160 couple of base hits three exact with runners in scoring position. But on this 350 00:25:15.319 --> 00:25:18.440 road trip, David, four games into it, the Dodgers are hitting just 351 00:25:18.559 --> 00:25:22.319 one eighty nine with runners in scoring position, and if you look at the 352 00:25:22.359 --> 00:25:26.359 last seven games, they're barely above the Mendoza liigned. But last night, 353 00:25:26.960 --> 00:25:30.319 you know, here's a lot of different keys. I mean, you look 354 00:25:30.359 --> 00:25:33.880 at Freeman hit the home run RBI single by Andy Pahees, and then to 355 00:25:33.960 --> 00:25:37.319 asker her Nanez the RBI single in the eighth inning, and then the RBI 356 00:25:37.440 --> 00:25:41.480 doubled by show Hey Otani that broke up the tie, and eventually the Dodgers 357 00:25:41.519 --> 00:25:45.039 walk away where they four to three victory. But here's something that I think 358 00:25:45.079 --> 00:25:51.680 maybe gets overlooked, and it shouldn't. The bullpen last night went five and 359 00:25:51.720 --> 00:25:55.680 a third inning, no runs, three hits, and six strikeouts. And 360 00:25:55.720 --> 00:25:59.920 you begin to look at what the bullpen has done recently. They have been 361 00:26:00.160 --> 00:26:04.440 absolutely fantastic, and they've had to be because the starting pitching. If we 362 00:26:04.519 --> 00:26:08.240 look at the last fifty three in the third innings. The Dodger's starting pitching, 363 00:26:08.680 --> 00:26:12.279 they've given up fifty five runs in those fifty three in the third, 364 00:26:12.400 --> 00:26:17.039 so the bullpen has had to come in and really shut down the opposing club. 365 00:26:17.039 --> 00:26:19.640 And that's exactly what they did last night. Five and a third scoreless 366 00:26:19.680 --> 00:26:23.480 innings, only three hits, and struck out six. How about Daniel Hudson 367 00:26:23.640 --> 00:26:27.039 in the ninth inning rick He obviously did not have his best stuff, but 368 00:26:27.119 --> 00:26:32.599 he found a way to get through it. And I think also, you 369 00:26:32.640 --> 00:26:37.759 know he walked the two guys after the leadoff strikeout. But I think he's 370 00:26:37.759 --> 00:26:41.000 one of those guys too that I use this term a few different times. 371 00:26:41.039 --> 00:26:44.200 He's a good observer, and by that I'm talking about if he sees a 372 00:26:44.240 --> 00:26:48.680 weak swing at a certain pitch and an ideal location, he's going to hunt 373 00:26:48.680 --> 00:26:51.359 that pitch again. He's going to go after it again. And that's exactly 374 00:26:51.480 --> 00:26:53.519 what he was able to do. Hey, I don't know how your day 375 00:26:53.599 --> 00:26:56.680 started off, but mine started off pretty well. First of all, it's 376 00:26:56.680 --> 00:27:00.519 an early wake up call here in Detroit with the day game, and come 377 00:27:00.599 --> 00:27:06.079 to the ballpark, walking into the booth and then went down to get a 378 00:27:06.160 --> 00:27:10.119 nice little cold beverage before the ball game, and I ran into Kirk Gibson 379 00:27:10.279 --> 00:27:12.200 and just had a nice little talk. Kirk is going to be coming out 380 00:27:12.240 --> 00:27:19.279 to LA for the Dodger reunion of former players that will be next month. 381 00:27:19.359 --> 00:27:22.839 I forget the exact date on it, but he's looking forward to that. 382 00:27:22.599 --> 00:27:26.839 He looks good, and we just talked about baseball for a while, and 383 00:27:27.039 --> 00:27:30.400 it's just really kind of neat to sit down and talk to somebody that not 384 00:27:30.440 --> 00:27:34.880 only was an outstanding player, but also from our standpoint, had a great 385 00:27:34.920 --> 00:27:42.759 deal to leave his fingerprint on Dodger baseball, a fingerprint that will last forever. 386 00:27:44.519 --> 00:27:47.359 Rick, I've never asked you this. Can you share with us where 387 00:27:47.400 --> 00:27:52.839 you were when Kirk Gibson hit his home run against Dennis Eckersley at the time. 388 00:27:53.200 --> 00:27:57.960 I don't know exactly where I was, but I was doing at that 389 00:27:59.039 --> 00:28:04.200 time I was doing. I was anchoring the sports at Channel eleven in LA 390 00:28:04.319 --> 00:28:11.000 and the following year went down to San Diego to do the broadcasting there with 391 00:28:11.000 --> 00:28:15.160 the Poundraiser, four years before coming back to the Dodgers. But it was 392 00:28:15.200 --> 00:28:21.119 one of those moments that time kind of stands still and the people around you. 393 00:28:21.680 --> 00:28:25.039 I think if you're not there at the stadium and you see something that 394 00:28:25.119 --> 00:28:27.279 takes place, or you hear something that takes place, and then there's this 395 00:28:27.759 --> 00:28:33.519 eruption of emotion from people around you, those are the special moments that you 396 00:28:33.599 --> 00:28:38.240 just it's difficult to repeat those moments in life. Well, I feel like 397 00:28:38.359 --> 00:28:44.400 people remember. Fans remember where they were when Kirk Gibson hit his home run, 398 00:28:44.440 --> 00:28:48.559 and also fans remember, if they're old enough, where they were on 399 00:28:48.599 --> 00:28:52.119 Blue Monday when Rick Monday hit his home run in Montreal. So two guys 400 00:28:52.160 --> 00:28:57.160 that have two of the biggest home runs in Dodger history sharing the press box 401 00:28:57.200 --> 00:29:02.079 together in Detroit. We had fun. David, Hey, I have a 402 00:29:02.119 --> 00:29:04.599 great day and talk to you tomorrow morning. Okay, sounds good, have 403 00:29:04.640 --> 00:29:07.920 a great call.

Tim, I had a 423 00:30:33.599 --> 00:30:38.559 long conversation with former Dodger and America's pitcher Rich Hill, who is tuning up 424 00:30:38.920 --> 00:30:45.400 for a possible return to Major League Baseball this year by design, and we 425 00:30:45.440 --> 00:30:48.480 will play the full interview coming up next week during our All Star break, 426 00:30:48.519 --> 00:30:55.119 but here is a portion of our conversation with the great Rich Hill. Thanks 427 00:30:55.160 --> 00:30:59.599 for having me, Dave well one introduction, jeez, you got well. 428 00:30:59.720 --> 00:31:04.200 Thank you. You deserve it. I appreciate it. How's everything going. 429 00:31:04.440 --> 00:31:08.880 It's going great. I mentioned to the fans and I reminded them about your 430 00:31:10.000 --> 00:31:15.240 genius plan to spend time with your family the first half of the season and 431 00:31:15.279 --> 00:31:21.559 then be able to decide which team you wanted to pitch for that is not 432 00:31:21.799 --> 00:31:26.039 able to land pitching at the trade deadline. Have you seen your vision start 433 00:31:26.079 --> 00:31:30.680 to come to fruition. Yeah, you know, everything that I can control 434 00:31:30.759 --> 00:31:34.599 as as a player and getting ready for that moment when it comes around. 435 00:31:34.640 --> 00:31:41.000 And certainly, uh, I've been taken care of with working out and throwing 436 00:31:41.039 --> 00:31:44.519 and you know, getting after it in bullpen. So uh, you know, 437 00:31:44.559 --> 00:31:48.359 the next step is really facing some hitters here in the next actually next 438 00:31:48.400 --> 00:31:52.960 week, and then having that advance into the next three weeks. So that 439 00:31:53.000 --> 00:31:59.319 would be really almost like the three weeks of spring training, uh, you 440 00:31:59.359 --> 00:32:04.319 know, as as probably a little bit more expedited just facing hitters and getting 441 00:32:04.319 --> 00:32:08.160 ready. But everything's been, you know, basically on track, and I've 442 00:32:08.359 --> 00:32:13.480 felt really good about where I'm at right now. So you have been throwing 443 00:32:13.559 --> 00:32:20.799 bullpen sessions. How extensive are these bullpen sessions? This week through a sixty 444 00:32:20.839 --> 00:32:23.720 five pitch bullpen. Yeah, it's been you know, and then tomorrow another 445 00:32:23.720 --> 00:32:27.839 one. I'm going to go back to back just to continue to keep building 446 00:32:27.920 --> 00:32:34.799 up and really some obviously fashion of what spring training would consist of as well. 447 00:32:34.880 --> 00:32:39.160 But yeah, these are bullpens that are you know, pretty intense, 448 00:32:40.599 --> 00:32:45.319 you know, full effort bullpens. It's not you know, just a white 449 00:32:45.480 --> 00:32:50.480 bullpen or just trying to get my feet under me. So you know, 450 00:32:50.519 --> 00:32:53.519 the work that's being done has been pretty aggressive. All right, Richie, 451 00:32:53.559 --> 00:32:57.519 you said you're going to start facing hitters. Where will you go to find 452 00:32:57.559 --> 00:33:00.240 those hitters? Will you go to the Cape League? Will you go to 453 00:33:01.000 --> 00:33:05.240 M. I. T. Harvid? Where will you go to find those 454 00:33:05.319 --> 00:33:15.680 hitters? Well? Well, well we'll see you know, next week. 455 00:33:15.720 --> 00:33:19.799 There's been been a couple couple opportunities. We're you know, talking to some 456 00:33:19.799 --> 00:33:25.480 some some former teammates that are actually coaching right now, a few teams here 457 00:33:25.519 --> 00:33:30.559 and there in the Northeast. So, uh well, like I said, 458 00:33:30.640 --> 00:33:35.599 you know, I think it's going to be a few days beforehand when this 459 00:33:35.599 --> 00:33:37.759 this kind of decision is made where I'm going to go and throw these these 460 00:33:37.759 --> 00:33:42.039 bullpends of space hitters or you know, live vps. I guess if you 461 00:33:42.039 --> 00:33:45.519 want to call it now. As far as the extent of going in and 462 00:33:45.599 --> 00:33:52.240 pitching somewhere, I think that the idea would probably kind of be, you 463 00:33:52.279 --> 00:33:58.039 know, to get some more uh numbers and analytics and kind of break down 464 00:33:58.079 --> 00:34:04.400 with pitches for teams to be able to see and you know, I guess 465 00:34:04.640 --> 00:34:08.400 figure out what their what their needs are, and and and if what I'm 466 00:34:08.440 --> 00:34:14.519 bringing to the table is something that fits there, uh fits their their wants 467 00:34:14.559 --> 00:34:17.519 as well. Are you gonna have one of these showcase uh outings where we 468 00:34:17.599 --> 00:34:22.719 hear about pictures throwing in front of like five or six teams. Yeah, 469 00:34:22.719 --> 00:34:24.360 it could be something like that. I mean also, you know it's gonna 470 00:34:24.360 --> 00:34:28.679 be a it's gonna be a good fit for uh, you know, myself 471 00:34:28.719 --> 00:34:31.519 as well. This isn't just you know, something that's kind of you know, 472 00:34:31.599 --> 00:34:36.360 whatever comes across the desk, you know, you take it's it's really 473 00:34:36.400 --> 00:34:42.119 something that's kind of you know, a team that's that's focused and concentrated and 474 00:34:42.519 --> 00:34:45.840 looking forward to winning a championship and and you know, having that focus every 475 00:34:45.880 --> 00:34:50.639 single day when they come in the clubhouse. Sounds like you're describing the Dodgers 476 00:34:50.719 --> 00:34:52.320 rich. Yeah, I mean that would be that would be incredible. It'll 477 00:34:52.360 --> 00:34:58.239 be a great reunion. You know, I obviously, uh love the city, 478 00:34:58.400 --> 00:35:01.880 love wearing Dodger blue. You know, in my opinion, uh, 479 00:35:02.199 --> 00:35:07.199 if not the best, one of the best places to pitch in baseball. 480 00:35:07.280 --> 00:35:12.159 So that would be you know, that would be incredible. Knowing many of 481 00:35:12.199 --> 00:35:16.480 the guys in the locker room and understanding that you know, that mindset and 482 00:35:16.519 --> 00:35:21.159 that effort that they bring every single day is consistent upon, you know, 483 00:35:21.159 --> 00:35:25.119 with everything that we were just describing. Is that that winning mentality, uh, 484 00:35:25.360 --> 00:35:28.719 you know, and staying in that pitch and that swing, in that 485 00:35:28.800 --> 00:35:35.239 moment and that play and understanding that whatever happened you know before that is gone 486 00:35:35.280 --> 00:35:37.360 and we have to focus in on on the here and now and the task 487 00:35:37.400 --> 00:35:40.239 at him, So, yeah, that would be that would be great. 488 00:35:40.599 --> 00:35:45.280 You will hear our full conversation with Rich Hill next week during our Dodger Talk 489 00:35:45.360 --> 00:35:51.119 All Star Break shows. He goes more into detail about his plan to return 490 00:35:51.199 --> 00:35:54.199 to Major League Baseball, and you never know, maybe the Dodgers could use 491 00:35:54.199 --> 00:35:59.480 some fresh arms like America's pitcher. We'll send it back to you, Tim, 492 00:36:00.000 --> 00:36:04.000 and we'll see he could be a mission for somebody on their postseason roster 493 00:36:04.119 --> 00:36:07.320 or looking to get to the postseason.

This this high and tight, tam. 507 00:37:07.079 --> 00:37:13.360 I had a long conversation with former Dodger and America's pitcher Rich Hill, who 508 00:37:13.440 --> 00:37:19.039 is tuning up for a possible return to Major League Baseball this year by design, 509 00:37:19.599 --> 00:37:22.639 and we will play the full interview coming up next week during our All 510 00:37:22.639 --> 00:37:28.880 Star break. But here is a portion of our conversation with the great Rich 511 00:37:28.960 --> 00:37:31.880 Hill. Thanks for having me, Dave, Well, what introduction? Jeez 512 00:37:31.920 --> 00:37:39.079 you well, thank you, you deserve it. I appreciate its everything going, 513 00:37:39.320 --> 00:37:44.519 It's going great. I mentioned to the fans and I reminded them about 514 00:37:44.559 --> 00:37:49.280 your genius plan to spend time with your family the first half of the season 515 00:37:49.880 --> 00:37:55.320 and then be able to decide which team you wanted to pitch for that is 516 00:37:55.360 --> 00:38:00.480 not able to land pitching at the trade deadline. Have you seen your vision 517 00:38:00.599 --> 00:38:05.079 start to come to fruition. Yeah, you know, everything that I can 518 00:38:05.119 --> 00:38:09.599 controls as a player and getting ready for that moment when it comes around is 519 00:38:09.679 --> 00:38:15.400 certainly I've been taken care of with working out and throwing and you know, 520 00:38:15.519 --> 00:38:21.400 getting after it in bullpen. So you know, the next step is really 521 00:38:21.440 --> 00:38:24.559 facing some hitters here and the next actually next week, and then having that 522 00:38:24.679 --> 00:38:30.400 advance into the next three weeks. So that would be really almost like the 523 00:38:30.440 --> 00:38:36.519 three weeks of spring training, you know, as as probably a little bit 524 00:38:36.559 --> 00:38:39.639 more expedited just facing hitters and getting ready. But everything's been, you know, 525 00:38:40.199 --> 00:38:45.639 basically on track, and I've felt really good about where I'm at right 526 00:38:45.679 --> 00:38:52.320 now. So you have been throwing bullpen sessions. How extensive are these bullpen 527 00:38:52.440 --> 00:38:57.639 sessions? This week through a sixty five pitch bullpen. Yeah, it's been 528 00:38:58.039 --> 00:39:00.480 you know, and then tomorrow another one. I'm going to go back to 529 00:39:00.559 --> 00:39:07.199 back just to continue to keep building up and really some obviously fashion of what 530 00:39:07.559 --> 00:39:12.119 spring training would consist of as well. But yeah, these are these are 531 00:39:12.119 --> 00:39:17.239 bullpens that are you know, pretty intense, you know, full effort bullpens. 532 00:39:17.280 --> 00:39:22.599 It's not uh, you know, just a white bullpen or just trying 533 00:39:22.639 --> 00:39:25.199 to get my feet under me. So you know, the work that's being 534 00:39:25.239 --> 00:39:29.960 done has been pretty aggressive. All right, Richie, you said you're going 535 00:39:30.000 --> 00:39:32.199 to start facing hitters. Where will you go to find those hitters? Will 536 00:39:32.239 --> 00:39:37.280 you go to the Cape League? Will you go to M I. T. 537 00:39:37.119 --> 00:39:47.480 Havid? Where will you go to find those hitters? Well, well, 538 00:39:47.559 --> 00:39:52.199 well we'll see you know next week. There's been been a couple couple 539 00:39:52.239 --> 00:39:55.760 opportunities. We're you know, talking to some some some former teammates that are 540 00:39:55.800 --> 00:40:02.280 actually coaching right now, a few teams here and there in the Northeast. 541 00:40:02.400 --> 00:40:05.960 So uh, when that, like I said, you know, I think 542 00:40:06.000 --> 00:40:10.519 it's going to be a few days beforehand when this this kind of decision is 543 00:40:10.519 --> 00:40:14.840 made where I'm going to go and throw these these both ends of space hitters 544 00:40:15.000 --> 00:40:16.519 or you know, live vps. I guess if you want to call it. 545 00:40:17.679 --> 00:40:22.480 Now. As far as the extent of going in and pitching somewhere, 546 00:40:22.440 --> 00:40:28.320 I think that the idea would probably kind of be, you know, to 547 00:40:28.360 --> 00:40:34.960 get some more uh numbers and analytics and kind of break down with pitches for 548 00:40:35.360 --> 00:40:39.039 teams to be able to see and you know, I guess figure out what 549 00:40:39.079 --> 00:40:45.159 their what their needs are and and and if what I'm bringing to the table 550 00:40:45.239 --> 00:40:49.800 is something that fits there, uh, fits their their wants as well. 551 00:40:50.079 --> 00:40:53.400 Are you gonna have one of these showcase uh outings where we hear about pitchers 552 00:40:53.400 --> 00:40:58.000 throwing in front of like five or six teams. Yeah, it could be 553 00:40:58.039 --> 00:41:00.880 something like that. I mean also, you know it's to be it's gonna 554 00:41:00.880 --> 00:41:04.480 be a good fit for uh, you know myself as well. This isn't 555 00:41:04.559 --> 00:41:07.840 just you know, something that's kind of you know, whatever comes across the 556 00:41:07.880 --> 00:41:12.280 desk, you know, you take it's it's really something that's gonna you know, 557 00:41:12.320 --> 00:41:19.400 a team that's that's focused and concentrated and looking forward to winning a championship 558 00:41:19.440 --> 00:41:22.679 and and you know, having that focus every single day when they come in 559 00:41:22.719 --> 00:41:25.639 the clubhouse. Sounds like you're describing the Dodgers reach. Yeah, I mean, 560 00:41:25.679 --> 00:41:29.039 that would be That would be incredible. It would be a great reunion. 561 00:41:30.039 --> 00:41:34.519 You know, I obviously uh love the city, love wearing Dodger blue. 562 00:41:35.800 --> 00:41:37.920 You know, in my opinion, uh, if not the best, 563 00:41:37.920 --> 00:41:43.679 one of the best places to pitch in baseball. So that would be you 564 00:41:43.719 --> 00:41:46.840 know, that would be incredible, knowing many of the guys in the locker 565 00:41:46.880 --> 00:41:52.159 room and understanding that, you know, that mindset and that effort that they 566 00:41:52.199 --> 00:41:55.880 bring every single day is consistent upon, you know with everything that we were 567 00:41:55.960 --> 00:42:00.599 just describing. Is that that winning mentality? Uh, you know, I'm 568 00:42:00.639 --> 00:42:04.599 staying in that pitch and that swing, in that moment, in that play, 569 00:42:05.599 --> 00:42:09.400 and understanding that whatever happened you know before, that is gone and we 570 00:42:09.480 --> 00:42:13.400 have to focus in on on the here and now, on the task at 571 00:42:13.440 --> 00:42:15.760 him. So yeah, that would be That would be great. You will 572 00:42:15.800 --> 00:42:21.679 hear our full conversation with Rich Hill next week during our Dodger Talk All Star 573 00:42:21.760 --> 00:42:25.519 Break shows. He goes more into detail about his plan to return to Major 574 00:42:25.599 --> 00:42:30.760 League Baseball, and you never know, maybe the Dodgers could use some fresh 575 00:42:30.880 --> 00:42:34.880 arms like America's pitcher. We'll send it back to you, Tim, Yeah, 576 00:42:35.000 --> 00:42:37.840 we'll see. He could be a mission for somebody on their postseason roster 577 00:42:38.000 --> 00:42:42.159 or looking to get to the postseason.

All right, before first pitch, let's head back out to the 592 00:43:44.199 --> 00:43:46.519 booth Rick Monday. Tim never guys, Tim, thank you again. We 593 00:43:46.639 --> 00:43:51.960 count you down to the first pitch for this afternoon game in Detroit Morning Out 594 00:43:51.960 --> 00:43:58.079 West as Justin Robleski we'll make his second major league start. He debuted against 595 00:43:58.079 --> 00:44:02.239 the Brewers last week and was thought to be optioned after the game back to 596 00:44:02.280 --> 00:44:05.719 Triple A. He was just up for a spot start, but with Tyler 597 00:44:05.719 --> 00:44:10.039 glasnow going on the injured list, Roblusky stays in the rotation and makes his 598 00:44:10.079 --> 00:44:14.760 second start this afternoon. He gave up a couple of two run home runs 599 00:44:14.840 --> 00:44:17.400 in that outing in the five innings the four runs on the five hits druck 600 00:44:17.440 --> 00:44:21.840 out four. But overall, I mean you start to look at the fastball 601 00:44:21.840 --> 00:44:24.320 that he had anywhere from ninety five to ninety seven, the slide of the 602 00:44:24.440 --> 00:44:29.639 change up. The changeup was really a very effective pitch. Earlier on. 603 00:44:30.000 --> 00:44:34.119 He also had a caught stealing. So of the young man, it's going 604 00:44:34.199 --> 00:44:37.199 to be fun to see him because one thing about it, he did not 605 00:44:37.239 --> 00:44:39.400 appear to be scared at all. In the Mount, he challenged hitters first 606 00:44:39.440 --> 00:44:45.639 pitch strikes sixteen out of twenty eighty percent in first pitch strikes for Robluski. 607 00:44:45.679 --> 00:44:49.440 Hopefully he can keep that up this afternoon. Kyder Montero, the mound opponent 608 00:44:49.519 --> 00:44:52.880 one in two in a four to six four era, making his fifth major 609 00:44:52.920 --> 00:44:55.519 league appearance this year. As fourth start, He's up from Triple A Toledo, 610 00:44:55.639 --> 00:45:00.400 Montero and Robluski. The pitching matchup as the Dodgers take on the Tigers 611 00:45:00.400 --> 00:45:04.119 and interleague play. All right, thank you, guys.
