Los Angeles Dodgers thirty eight and twenty three

4
00:00:17.480 --> 00:00:21.079

the NL West. They actually picked up

5
00:00:21.120 --> 00:00:25.199
a half game while traveling to Pittsburgh
yesterday, now a seven game lead in

6
00:00:25.239 --> 00:00:28.719
the division after taking two or three
from the Rockies over the weekend. The

7
00:00:28.760 --> 00:00:34.039
Dodgers now head east again for a
six game roach up firstop PNC Park in

8
00:00:34.039 --> 00:00:38.719
Pittsburgh with three against the Pirates.
Former Pirate Tyler Klass now on the mound

9
00:00:38.759 --> 00:00:42.479
for the Dodgers first pitch coming up
at three forty Between then and now,

10
00:00:42.520 --> 00:00:45.880
we got a lot to get to
here on Marongo Casino Dodgers on Deck,

11
00:00:45.920 --> 00:00:49.840
we'll hear from the Dodger manager Dave
Roberts. We'll get your O TAWNI rewind

12
00:00:49.840 --> 00:00:53.719
will get you an update on the
Dodgers' injury status. We got your magical

13
00:00:53.759 --> 00:00:57.159
moment of the day. We'll dive
deeper into this pitching matchup coming up at

14
00:00:57.079 --> 00:01:00.679
about forty five minutes, David Veast
is gonna go one on one with Pauls,

15
00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:03.960
the number one pick in the draft, a year ago former Eltoral High

16
00:01:03.960 --> 00:01:07.599
school standout. You'll hear from the
Pirates right hander coming up at three point

17
00:01:07.599 --> 00:01:11.680
fifteen, and shortly we'll check in
with Kirsten Watson. Just a few minutes,

18
00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:15.319
we'll hear from Rick Monday and Tim
Nevern out at the Galpin Motors Broadcast

19
00:01:15.319 --> 00:01:19.480
booth well Sunday at Dodger Stadium,
Stone pitched the gym as the Dodgers took

20
00:01:19.480 --> 00:01:22.920
care of Colorado. Gavin Stone got
the start, and the young right hander

21
00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:26.519
was impressive again five shutout innings.
He scattered just four hits along the way

22
00:01:26.680 --> 00:01:30.760
while striking out six, and he
got early run support in the first.

23
00:01:30.959 --> 00:01:34.319
Mookie Betts leading off with one of
those Mooky moments. Mookie ready, and

24
00:01:34.480 --> 00:01:40.280
here comes the one one these swings
hits, a triumph down the left field

25
00:01:40.359 --> 00:01:44.920
side. It has toward the corner, it is gone. A fifty second

26
00:01:45.120 --> 00:01:51.920
career leadoff home run for Mookie Betts
and it's one nothing. Dodgers instant offense

27
00:01:51.959 --> 00:01:55.879
for Mookie. Lead off home run
for Mookie Betts down the left field line.

28
00:01:55.920 --> 00:01:57.760
His ninth home run of the season, fourth leadoff home run this season,

29
00:01:57.840 --> 00:02:01.480
as Tim never mentioned his fifty second
leadoff home run of his career,

30
00:02:01.480 --> 00:02:06.599
putting him one shy of Craig b
Show for fourth all time. Dodgers a

31
00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:08.400
one nothing lead, and they weren't
done in the first, getting after Austin

32
00:02:08.439 --> 00:02:13.280
Gomber. Freddie Freeman as solo home
run to center his seventh of the season.

33
00:02:13.319 --> 00:02:15.800
The Dodgers took a quick two to
nothing lead in the third. Dodgers

34
00:02:15.879 --> 00:02:21.759
added to that lead thanks to Miguel
Rojas to two pitch, there's a base

35
00:02:21.840 --> 00:02:25.240
hit left center field. Freeman's gonna
get waved around third. Trey Hill picks

36
00:02:25.240 --> 00:02:29.400
it up, gets the ball to
second base, Piz goes first to third.

37
00:02:29.759 --> 00:02:34.080
It's a run scoring single for Miguel
Rojas and the Dodgers lead it three

38
00:02:34.120 --> 00:02:37.680
to nothing. RBI single for Miguel, his tenth rbio of the season.

39
00:02:37.759 --> 00:02:40.199
Dodgers up three to nothing. That
was more than enough for Gavin Stone the

40
00:02:40.240 --> 00:02:45.360
way he was pitching five shutout innings. Michael Grove pitched the scoreless two innings

41
00:02:45.400 --> 00:02:47.680
after that. Alex Vesia a one, two three eighth. In the bottom

42
00:02:47.719 --> 00:02:52.039
of the inning, Freddie Freeman a
sack Flaggy the Dodgers a four to nothing

43
00:02:52.120 --> 00:02:53.599
lead. Then the top of the
ninth belonged to Daniel Hudson, who put

44
00:02:53.639 --> 00:02:58.000
up a zero. Dodgers shut out
the Rockies on Sunday, four to nothing.

45
00:02:58.240 --> 00:03:00.680
Gavin Stone now six and two on
this season. He had a five

46
00:03:00.759 --> 00:03:06.520
shutout inning performance on Sunday before that, seven shutout innings against the Mets.

47
00:03:06.719 --> 00:03:09.199
Dodgers take two or three from Colorado, their six shutout win of the year.

48
00:03:09.479 --> 00:03:13.280
With the win, they're now thirty
eight and twenty three. This afternoon,

49
00:03:13.439 --> 00:03:15.879
they start their second East Coast road
trip in as many weeks. First

50
00:03:15.879 --> 00:03:21.319
stop Pittsburgh in a three game series
against the Pirates. Former Pirate Tyler klassnow

51
00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:23.240
on the mound for the Dodgers and
with Morlan's head out to the Galpin Motors

52
00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:28.400
broadcast booth as we say hello in
Happy Tuesday, the Rick Monday and Tim

53
00:03:28.479 --> 00:03:30.520
Nmer guys, Thanks Tim very much. Should be a nice night of the

54
00:03:30.520 --> 00:03:35.400
banks of the Allegheny River or on
the north shore just across the river from

55
00:03:35.400 --> 00:03:39.479
downtown Pittsburgh, where the Dodgers and
the Pirates meet Game one of a three

56
00:03:39.599 --> 00:03:45.319
game series and the Pirates come in
twenty seven to thirty two, and they've

57
00:03:45.319 --> 00:03:49.240
got a Southern Californian on the mond
from La Morana, Jared Jones, who

58
00:03:49.280 --> 00:03:53.960
has been an exciting young pitcher for
the Pirates and for the Dodgers. Tonight,

59
00:03:53.560 --> 00:03:59.120
former Pirate Tyler glasnow makes his first
appearance against his first team. He

60
00:03:59.240 --> 00:04:01.680
was drafted by the Pirates in the
fifth round and twenty eleven and Glass,

61
00:04:01.759 --> 00:04:06.759
now six and three, will oppose
the Pirates for the first time tonight and

62
00:04:06.840 --> 00:04:11.199
Maul. When we look at this
visit to Pittsburgh, it's always a special

63
00:04:11.199 --> 00:04:14.960
one. The Roberto Clemente Bridge is
out there, the Clementi statue, statues

64
00:04:14.960 --> 00:04:18.000
of Willie Stargell, Honus Wagner,
Bill Mazeroski, a lot of baseball history

65
00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:21.600
here in Pittsburgh. And the Clementia
Bridge is now repaired and I've been working

66
00:04:21.759 --> 00:04:27.879
in the full circle so we can
actually use that coming and going to and

67
00:04:27.920 --> 00:04:30.480
from the ballpark in the hotel.
That's the good news. And I think

68
00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:35.079
from the fan friendly area and a
lot of parking lots across the Allegheny River,

69
00:04:35.560 --> 00:04:39.519
it's a wonderful area. This is
one of the better views that you

70
00:04:39.639 --> 00:04:43.120
get on the road. In a
ballpark where you look at what looks like

71
00:04:43.160 --> 00:04:47.399
a giant diorama to a downtown area. And for the Dodgers kicking off this

72
00:04:47.519 --> 00:04:50.079
road trip, they go back east. Yes, they'll be in New York

73
00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:54.160
again. Hopefully the flight back home
is not going to be as long as

74
00:04:54.319 --> 00:04:58.920
arduous as it was coming back after
playing the Mets. But this Dodger ball

75
00:04:58.959 --> 00:05:01.519
club tim already to put things together
a little bit better, in particular the

76
00:05:01.519 --> 00:05:05.639
bottom part of the order. And
we see a different order at the bottom

77
00:05:05.759 --> 00:05:09.920
today. It's going to be Gavin
Lux again at second base, he'll beat

78
00:05:09.959 --> 00:05:13.040
in the seventh spot, and Miguel
Rojas again to start at third base,

79
00:05:13.319 --> 00:05:15.920
and Chris Taylor is going to bat
night and playing center. For Taylor,

80
00:05:15.959 --> 00:05:19.000
it's an opportunity. He has been
on the bench quite a bit, and

81
00:05:19.079 --> 00:05:23.439
Dave Roberts wants to see him get
in there as often as they can put

82
00:05:23.480 --> 00:05:27.199
him in there. But he has
struggled so terribly. Thirty five strikeouts in

83
00:05:27.240 --> 00:05:30.439
seventy four at bats. Yeah,
and I think on the breaking ball in

84
00:05:30.480 --> 00:05:33.680
particular, so just a one oh
eight average. He has just eight hits

85
00:05:33.680 --> 00:05:38.279
and seventy four at bats. But
as Dave Roberts is saying the last home

86
00:05:38.319 --> 00:05:43.519
stand. Look, we're going to
give Chris Taylor opportunity to basically flex his

87
00:05:43.600 --> 00:05:46.279
wings a little bit. You're not
going to come out of his slope just

88
00:05:46.319 --> 00:05:49.079
sitting on the bench, so a
chance to not only play, also be

89
00:05:49.199 --> 00:05:53.480
in center field. He can run
the ball down as well as anybody on

90
00:05:53.560 --> 00:05:57.399
top of that. So, combined
with the top of the order and now

91
00:05:57.439 --> 00:06:00.560
a little bit more presence from the
bottom of the order, I expect this

92
00:06:00.639 --> 00:06:03.000
Dodger ball club to really increase their
lead. They start today with a seven

93
00:06:03.040 --> 00:06:08.560
game lead over the Padres in the
Western Division. Giants are now nine out

94
00:06:08.800 --> 00:06:11.680
Arizona nine and a half, and
then the Rockies will wait till next year,

95
00:06:11.720 --> 00:06:15.600
already sixteen games behind the Dodgers.
This ballpark has an inviting right field

96
00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:18.720
wall. It's known as the Clementy
Wall. It actually happens to be twenty

97
00:06:18.800 --> 00:06:23.680
one feet high, exactly for Clementi's
number twenty one. But over that is

98
00:06:23.720 --> 00:06:28.959
the Alleghany River. And Shohei Otani
is playing in PNC Park for the first

99
00:06:28.959 --> 00:06:31.480
time ever. This completes the whole
circuit for showt He'll now have played in

100
00:06:31.519 --> 00:06:35.439
every Major League park at least once, and that river might be a little

101
00:06:35.439 --> 00:06:40.800
inviting for him. They've had some
splash down home run balls and he certainly

102
00:06:40.800 --> 00:06:43.199
would be a candidate to hit one
here the next three days. And the

103
00:06:43.240 --> 00:06:46.279
other part two is that twenty one
foot high fence in right field goes over

104
00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:49.279
the right center and then it stops. It goes down at about twelve foot,

105
00:06:49.600 --> 00:06:54.279
but it's only three seventy five in
that particular area of the ballpark,

106
00:06:54.360 --> 00:06:57.279
so it's rather inviting for a left
handed batters a if you hit it down

107
00:06:57.319 --> 00:07:00.279
the line, elevate the ball,
and even the lines look very inviting to

108
00:07:00.360 --> 00:07:04.480
hit out of the ballpark. You
go to right center. Tyler glasnow pitching

109
00:07:04.480 --> 00:07:08.680
four of the Dodgers tonight, six
and three with a three Z four ERA,

Pirates out of Peltro, number one
pick in the draft a year ago.

120
00:07:50.079 --> 00:07:54.920
We'll break down this pitching matchup today

135
00:09:03.559 --> 00:09:07.120
as Tyler glassnow gets the starts.
He's back home in Pittsburgh where it all

136
00:09:07.159 --> 00:09:09.960
started. More on that in a
minute. Evan Phillips back over the weekend,

137
00:09:11.000 --> 00:09:13.320
fresh off the IL, picked up
a save in the last series against

138
00:09:13.360 --> 00:09:18.519
the Rockies, and for Evan Phillips, Kirson being on the IL was an

139
00:09:18.600 --> 00:09:22.919
unfamiliar territory. Yeah, it really
was. It's not something that he is

140
00:09:22.039 --> 00:09:26.600
used to at all, and it
was a freak accident that put him on

141
00:09:26.679 --> 00:09:28.960
the IL. So he was dealing
with that hamstring strain that really just happened

142
00:09:30.000 --> 00:09:31.879
while he was playing catch, if
I recall correctly, he said that like

143
00:09:31.919 --> 00:09:37.399
his cleet just kind of got stuck, and that's one of those things where

144
00:09:37.960 --> 00:09:39.879
he thought it was going to be
He's like, you know, he knew

145
00:09:39.919 --> 00:09:41.799
the hamstring was going to take some
time, but he thought it was really

146
00:09:41.799 --> 00:09:46.480
going to be just like a week
or two to let it heal and then

147
00:09:46.600 --> 00:09:50.039
be able to get going. But
it took about four weeks for him being

148
00:09:50.120 --> 00:09:52.159
down, and he said he had
to learn kind of a lot about himself

149
00:09:52.159 --> 00:09:56.519
and just how frustrating it was.
And you know what he told me,

150
00:09:56.759 --> 00:10:01.440
the biggest thing for him was was
he remained locked and like he was very

151
00:10:01.480 --> 00:10:03.679
in tune with everything that was happening
kind of around the team and watching the

152
00:10:03.720 --> 00:10:07.559
games even when the team's on the
road, and would kind of work on

153
00:10:07.600 --> 00:10:11.279
different things in regards like making sure
he had his pitch grips the ways that

154
00:10:11.320 --> 00:10:15.399
he likes them, because he couldn't
really throw full speed at first. You

155
00:10:15.399 --> 00:10:16.559
know, he could still move his
arm, but he had he was limited

156
00:10:16.639 --> 00:10:20.320
due to that hamstring injury. So
once he said that he was able to

157
00:10:20.440 --> 00:10:24.720
like be you know, it's time
to like start the build up and like

158
00:10:24.919 --> 00:10:26.759
throw with full strength. He was
like immediately, he was like, it's

159
00:10:26.799 --> 00:10:31.000
go time. So he was being
thrilled just to be activated, to be

160
00:10:31.039 --> 00:10:33.320
able to help this team win,
and so for him to feel like he

161
00:10:33.360 --> 00:10:35.440
picked up where he left off,
that was the results said that, and

162
00:10:35.519 --> 00:10:39.480
he felt that that was really good
for him as well. Tyler Glass now

163
00:10:39.519 --> 00:10:43.639
gets the start in this series opener. The Heart High school product was drafted

164
00:10:43.639 --> 00:10:46.960
by the Pirates, went through their
farm system, made his debut in twenty

165
00:10:46.039 --> 00:10:50.200
sixteen, pitched for two and a
half years before being dealt to Tampa Bay.

166
00:10:50.240 --> 00:10:54.320
So it's a homecoming of sorts for
Tyler. Yeah, it really is.

167
00:10:54.360 --> 00:10:58.240
This is where he started everything.
So you know, for him,

168
00:10:58.639 --> 00:11:01.639
I haven't had the chance to talk
to him just yet about what it's like

169
00:11:01.759 --> 00:11:05.399
to return to the place, you
know, where you day started your big

170
00:11:05.480 --> 00:11:11.200
league career. But with talking to
Dave Roberts just about Tyler Glass, now

171
00:11:11.240 --> 00:11:13.879
he was saying, you know,
I had asked him, just what do

172
00:11:13.960 --> 00:11:18.399
you remember from then, and obviously
that was quite some time ago, and

173
00:11:18.440 --> 00:11:20.320
so he was like, I don't
necessarily remember the specifics, but he doesn't

174
00:11:20.320 --> 00:11:24.679
remember him being a very talented arm
and obviously he has done really good things

175
00:11:24.679 --> 00:11:28.080
with his career because the ace of
the Dodgers now, so he just remembers

176
00:11:28.159 --> 00:11:31.600
just kind of like being that big, built, explosive arm and kind of

177
00:11:31.600 --> 00:11:35.039
how he's seen that play out.
It's been awesome for him to witness.

178
00:11:35.120 --> 00:11:39.240
So he did say that he doesn't
necessarily know exactly how Tyler feels coming back

179
00:11:39.320 --> 00:11:45.039
two years. It has been some
time, but to be able to get

180
00:11:45.080 --> 00:11:48.120
the start here that is just something
that's really special. It's a beautiful ballpark,

181
00:11:48.159 --> 00:11:50.879
and so he said, he you
sure he has some good memories here,

182
00:11:50.919 --> 00:11:54.879
So hopefully this will be a fun
one to add just kind of he's

183
00:11:54.879 --> 00:11:58.440
not a very sentimental guy, but
hopefully this will add to the list of

184
00:11:58.480 --> 00:12:01.039
things he can reflect on when he's
done. Absolutely curist to appreciate it.

206
00:13:35.440 --> 00:13:39.679
P and C Park and check out
with the Dodger Skipper. Questions for Dave

207
00:13:39.759 --> 00:13:45.360
Dave? Can you just describe Dave? Can you talk about the pressure in

208
00:13:45.399 --> 00:13:50.159
the dugouts with Dave Roberts. You
know what I've as I've gotten to spend

209
00:13:50.159 --> 00:13:58.039
more time with Tyler. He's very
worldly. I think he's very well rounded,

210
00:13:58.759 --> 00:14:03.840
very intellectual. I'm obviously a very
good competitor, and I do remember,

211
00:14:03.960 --> 00:14:09.440
you know, the young Tyler Glass
now Pittsburgh big arm. Garrett Cole

212
00:14:09.759 --> 00:14:13.200
was here. You know, Charlie
Morton I think was here then, and

213
00:14:13.279 --> 00:14:18.480
so they've always had good arms,
and so it is interesting to see that

214
00:14:18.960 --> 00:14:22.279
this is his first start since he
hasn't been with the Pirates, you know,

215
00:14:22.360 --> 00:14:26.360
pitching here, yea, with what
he's been doing as of blade what

216
00:14:26.399 --> 00:14:28.519
do you think is kind of been
one of the keys to the success for

217
00:14:28.639 --> 00:14:35.039
Henri sent I think with Tyler,
like with it with most pitchers, is

218
00:14:35.120 --> 00:14:39.879
just getting strike one. Hitters are
very aggressive with him, you know,

219
00:14:39.919 --> 00:14:43.200
you try not to run counts with
him, get deep into counts, and

220
00:14:43.799 --> 00:14:48.559
so when he's getting ahead, certainly
with his fastball, it just opens everything

221
00:14:48.639 --> 00:14:52.679
up. And so I think there
are certain outings where he's just been really

222
00:14:52.720 --> 00:14:56.879
good with the fastball, and others
when it's really special is when that curveball

223
00:14:56.919 --> 00:15:01.440
and slider are working as well.
So see what he has tonight. But

224
00:15:01.480 --> 00:15:05.840
I know he's excited to get back
out here and pitch in Pittsburgh today.

225
00:15:07.480 --> 00:15:11.360
Ivey pleaded guilty and MLB clear.
To Otani, I know we've talked about

226
00:15:11.440 --> 00:15:15.600
this, but do these things still
register for you guys at all? I

227
00:15:15.679 --> 00:15:18.440
mean, it's one seems like it's
kind of like the final step of closure,

228
00:15:18.519 --> 00:15:20.600
like did this matter at all?
Kind of getting out at all?

229
00:15:20.759 --> 00:15:24.600
Jack, I think that it's it's
a formality, I guess, I honestly,

230
00:15:24.639 --> 00:15:28.679
as we haven't been following it.
So I hope, as you said,

231
00:15:28.720 --> 00:15:31.279
it's closure. That'd be great if
it's closure. So I think we're

232
00:15:31.320 --> 00:15:35.159
all we've all been ready to move
on. Yeah, from when this started,

233
00:15:35.200 --> 00:15:37.279
I mean it has only been like
a couple months. Like, did

234
00:15:37.279 --> 00:15:41.360
this kind of all get resolved quickly? Or about as quick as you could

235
00:15:41.399 --> 00:15:43.519
have hoped? From where? Especially
with all the uncertainty that there was at

236
00:15:43.519 --> 00:15:46.559
the start. But I think everyone
did a great job. Yeah, considering

237
00:15:46.600 --> 00:15:50.639
all that was going on and for
it to kind of come to a close

238
00:15:50.720 --> 00:15:54.360
now, I think it's I think
the process went great. Yeah, is

239
00:15:54.360 --> 00:16:00.480
a big reason for that, the
way Otani handled it, I would assume.

240
00:16:00.519 --> 00:16:04.559
So I'm very cooperative. Yeah,
all right, there's Dave Roberts down

241
00:16:04.600 --> 00:16:08.039
the dugout brought to you by Service
Titan. Dave Roberts is a Titan in

242

243

everybody for who they are. This
is Dodger insider David Bassei well TV.

256
00:17:17.319 --> 00:17:19.960
I've never been to PNC Park,
but everybody talks about how great of a

257
00:17:21.039 --> 00:17:25.039
stadium is to visit as fans,
as baseball fans in general, just to

258
00:17:25.039 --> 00:17:29.359
see a game there. But do
the players like it as much? Yeah,

259
00:17:29.359 --> 00:17:30.880
you're right, Tim, The fans
love coming here. There's a lot

260
00:17:30.880 --> 00:17:36.359
of Dodger fans that made the trip
to Pittsburgh and it has a great view

261
00:17:36.519 --> 00:17:41.000
of the city skyline and the Roberto
Clemente Bridge has reopened. The last couple

262
00:17:41.039 --> 00:17:45.079
of years it's been closed for renovations, so it's open again. And as

263
00:17:45.079 --> 00:17:48.519
far as the players go, I
asked a couple today, Miguel Vargas,

264
00:17:48.759 --> 00:17:52.839
who played here with the Dodgers last
year. He said he does love playing

265
00:17:52.880 --> 00:17:57.960
here because of the batter's eye in
center field. It's very green. You

266
00:17:57.960 --> 00:18:03.200
could pick up the baseball the pitcher's
hands really well. And I asked Jason

267
00:18:03.240 --> 00:18:04.920
Hayward the same thing. I said, Hey, do you like playing here?

268
00:18:04.960 --> 00:18:10.200
Because remember he spent so many years
in the same division, playing for

269
00:18:10.240 --> 00:18:12.759
the Cubs and coming here three different
times. And he said, yeah,

270
00:18:12.799 --> 00:18:18.519
you know, I actually do appreciate
the city skyline when you're playing here.

271
00:18:18.559 --> 00:18:21.720
But I said, does that even
matter to players? He said, yeah,

272
00:18:21.759 --> 00:18:23.960
it matters to a certain extent.
But I do love that hitters I

273
00:18:25.160 --> 00:18:29.559
as well. So the hitters are
all in agreement that hitters I and straightaway

274
00:18:29.640 --> 00:18:33.799
center field really helps them pick up
the baseball. As far as Showy Otani

275
00:18:33.880 --> 00:18:38.359
is con concern David p and Z
Park, it's a place he's never been,

276
00:18:38.519 --> 00:18:45.599
right. Yeah, this is the
final stadium in Major League Baseball that

277
00:18:45.720 --> 00:18:49.160
Otani has not played in and tonight. This will be the first time he

278
00:18:49.240 --> 00:18:55.519
can say that he's played in all
thirty Major league stadiums. So you can

279
00:18:55.559 --> 00:18:59.720
cross another stadium off the Otani list
and we'll see whether or not he can

280
00:18:59.799 --> 00:19:02.759
hit. Went into the Alleghany River, that would be special. Over the

281
00:19:02.799 --> 00:19:04.960
Clemente wall out there in right field, that would be nice. David is

285
00:19:19.799 --> 00:19:23.400
We know he was the star at
UCLA college baseball fan and player there,

286
00:19:23.400 --> 00:19:27.640
but it's got some eyes on college
softball. Dave. Yeah. Can

287
00:19:27.680 --> 00:19:32.920
you believe that Dave Roberts has a
niece, Ella Parker, that plays for

288
00:19:33.119 --> 00:19:38.359
Oklahoma softball team and they just won
their semi final match to go on to

289
00:19:38.440 --> 00:19:42.799
the finals to take on Florida.
It was a walk off for the Oklahoma

290
00:19:44.000 --> 00:19:48.039
women's softball team and his niece,
Ella Parker, was a triple shy of

291
00:19:48.079 --> 00:19:52.759
the cycle in the game, and
he was a little bit late coming out

292
00:19:52.759 --> 00:19:56.799
for betting practice because he was keeping
eyes on it, and he was very

293
00:19:56.799 --> 00:20:00.119
proud of his niece when he was
telling the story that in this game that

294
00:20:00.160 --> 00:20:06.440
Oklahoma won on a walk off hit
that they I guess the opposing team intentionally

295
00:20:06.519 --> 00:20:11.240
walked the girl in front of his
niece with two outs to pitch to her

296
00:20:11.319 --> 00:20:15.000
and she was able to get a
two out RBI BA hits. So he

297
00:20:15.079 --> 00:20:18.160
was very proud of his niece,
Ella Parker, and I'm sure he'll be

298
00:20:18.200 --> 00:20:22.440
watching the finals coming up in the
next couple of days. The best out

299
00:20:22.440 --> 00:20:26.839
of three series is how they do
it in women's college softball, Boomers sooner,

300
00:20:26.880 --> 00:20:30.599
congratulations to her and her team in
the world series Best of three.

301
00:20:30.720 --> 00:20:34.319
Dave looking at the lineup today in
center field, Chris Taylor getting a start

302
00:20:34.319 --> 00:20:40.039
this afternoon. Yeah, and this
is part of what Dave Roberts talked about.

303
00:20:40.079 --> 00:20:44.240
He's got to give Taylor opportunities like
this if he's on the roster.

304
00:20:44.759 --> 00:20:48.200
The only way Chris Taylor is going
to have an opportunity to come out of

305
00:20:48.200 --> 00:20:51.960
his slump is to play. I
know Miguel Vargus was looking forward to an

306
00:20:52.000 --> 00:20:56.079
opportunity to start in one of these
games, but Taylor certainly. I mean

307
00:20:56.119 --> 00:21:02.039
he plays once a week. He's
really been a non factor, good or

308
00:21:02.119 --> 00:21:06.599
bad. But with the Dodgers bottom
third of the order starting to come alive,

309
00:21:06.799 --> 00:21:10.799
they have a different three at the
bottom tonight. Luck's at second,

310
00:21:10.880 --> 00:21:15.440
hitting seventh, Roja sitting eighth at
third, and Chris Taylor hitting ninth in

311
00:21:15.519 --> 00:21:19.039
center field. So a little bit
different of a look as Jason Hayward moves

312
00:21:19.160 --> 00:21:22.759
up one spot in the lineup with
Lux being dropped to seventh. Dave,

313
00:21:22.839 --> 00:21:26.119
I'm curious in Pittsburgh in your time
there, even in the last twenty four

314
00:21:26.119 --> 00:21:30.960
hours, is there a buzz about
the Pirates with these young arms? Paul

315
00:21:30.000 --> 00:21:33.200
Skeins who you're gonna talk to at
about fifteen minutes Number one pick a year

316
00:21:33.240 --> 00:21:37.680
ago, Jared Jones at a Loamorada
high school getting the start. Today.

317
00:21:37.880 --> 00:21:41.799
They got some young talent, albeit
from southern California. But that's a young

318
00:21:41.839 --> 00:21:45.359
team that's doing okay. Yeah,
the pitching is really good and there seems

319
00:21:45.400 --> 00:21:51.480
to be a little bit more optimism
this year. Are Monkst Pirate fans here

320
00:21:51.519 --> 00:21:56.440
in downtown Pittsburgh than there has been
the last eight or nine years that I've

321
00:21:56.480 --> 00:22:00.000
been coming here, so you know, there is a little bit more optimist

322
00:22:00.359 --> 00:22:03.559
and excitement with some of these young
pitchers. The offense for the Pirates is

323
00:22:03.599 --> 00:22:07.400
the problem. They really don't have
much of an offense, but they have

324
00:22:07.480 --> 00:22:11.160
great pitching. So it'll be interesting
to see how many fans come out for

325
00:22:11.279 --> 00:22:15.160
Paul Skeen's day here in Pittsburgh tomorrow
night as he faces the Dodgers for the

326
00:22:15.200 --> 00:22:18.920
first time in his young career.
You know TV is gonna go one on

327
00:22:18.920 --> 00:22:21.519
one with Paul Skeen's coming up in
about fifte minutes day, but we appreciate

328
00:22:21.559 --> 00:22:23.039
we'll check back in with you in
just a couple of minutes. Coming up,

329
00:22:23.079 --> 00:22:27.200
you'll hear from the former number one
overall pick el Tooral High School's own

330
00:22:27.519 --> 00:22:32.759
Paul Skeens. We'll also break down
this pitching matchup. We'll hear from Rick

331

Dodgers magical moment don't go anywhere, lead

00:22:37.240 --> 00:22:40.799
you up to Dodgers and Pirates on
this Tuesday afternoon, first pitch at three

333
00:22:41.000 --> 00:22:47.880
forty from Pittsburgh. I'm Tim Kaksi's
Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network. As we

Casino Dodgers on Jack on the official home

335
00:22:53.240 --> 00:23:00.640

Pirates from Pittsburgh. Tyler Glass Now and

336
00:23:00.720 --> 00:23:10.119
Jared Jones the pitching match uff first
pitch coming up at three forty dog,

337
00:23:10.200 --> 00:23:17.400
who wants a hot It's time for
the Hawfy Magical Moment. Pitch Magical presented

338
00:23:17.440 --> 00:23:22.480
by Hawpy Hot Tips. We go
back to August twenty third, twenty seventeen,

339
00:23:22.519 --> 00:23:26.720
the Dodgers in Pittsburgh four game series
against the Pirates. Rich Hill was

340
00:23:26.759 --> 00:23:30.359
on the mound that August ninth,
and what a night he had. The

341
00:23:30.640 --> 00:23:37.400
two swung on and missed. Rich
Hill tonight has retired the first eighteen batters

342
00:23:37.160 --> 00:23:41.200
that he has faced in this ball
game, and they struck out eight.

343
00:23:41.839 --> 00:23:48.759
Pittsburgh Pirates three balls, two strikes, two outs, nobody on three in

344
00:23:48.759 --> 00:23:53.160
a row and it's Paul strike three
and rich Hill has not allowed a runner

345
00:23:53.279 --> 00:23:59.440
through eight innings of play. Marte
trying to end it, and he hits

346
00:23:59.440 --> 00:24:02.680
the ground ball to Hopper in between. Hot picked up by Siegert, throws

347
00:24:02.720 --> 00:24:07.079
the first and we are headed for
extra innings. Rich Hill has not allowed

348
00:24:07.119 --> 00:24:11.880
a hit through nine innings. Rich
Hill had a perfect game going to the

349
00:24:12.000 --> 00:24:17.400
ninth and air in the ninth inning
still kept the no hitter alive. He

350
00:24:17.519 --> 00:24:22.160
got three outs to go to extra
innings with the no hitter after nine innings

351
00:24:22.160 --> 00:24:25.039
bought. In the bottom of the
tenth on a two to one pitch,

352
00:24:25.480 --> 00:24:30.319
Josh Harrison hit a home run,
the only hit of the game for the

353
00:24:30.319 --> 00:24:33.640
Pittsburgh Pirates, wins it in a
walk off fashion and a one nothing win.

354
00:24:34.160 --> 00:24:38.119
Rich Hill the tough luck loser on
that August night. This Hofey Magical

And now joined by David Basse Here's
La Dodgers broadcast therein and World Series

368
00:25:38.359 --> 00:25:45.039
champion Dodger Rick Monday. Well,
life on tour with the Dodgers and Rick

369
00:25:45.119 --> 00:25:48.759
Monday continues in Pittsburgh. Rick,
great to be here in the Steel City.

370
00:25:48.839 --> 00:25:52.680
Hey, it was a nice long
homestand huh. Three games back on

371
00:25:52.720 --> 00:25:55.559
the East Coast and then we head
back to New York, which, by

372
00:25:55.599 --> 00:25:59.240
the way, I'm going to make
a prediction. After the final game in

373
00:25:59.240 --> 00:26:02.279
New York against the Yankees over the
weekend, I'm predicting that we will not

374
00:26:02.359 --> 00:26:03.839
be on the plane for thirteen and
a half hours to make a five hour

375
00:26:03.880 --> 00:26:08.039
flight back to LA. In the
meanwhile, Dodgers have six games to win

376
00:26:08.079 --> 00:26:11.319
on this road trip and might as
well take advantage of the Pittsburgh Pirates.

377
00:26:11.680 --> 00:26:15.680
Glass Now is going It's going to
be interesting in this series because there's going

378
00:26:15.720 --> 00:26:21.839
to be some Southern California products that
the Dodgers will be facing pitching for the

379
00:26:21.880 --> 00:26:25.279
Pittsburgh Pirates, and so we'll have
an eye on that one. But for

380
00:26:25.319 --> 00:26:27.839
Glass, now, he's one of
those guys David that could control the game,

381
00:26:27.880 --> 00:26:32.480
and that's exactly what he attempts to
do tonight. This is not the

382
00:26:32.519 --> 00:26:36.240
same Pirates team that the Dodgers saw
last year, and that team took it

383
00:26:36.279 --> 00:26:40.799
to the Dodgers. But this is
a better pitching Pirates team exactly. And

384
00:26:40.880 --> 00:26:44.960
you start to look at what they've
been able to do from a pitching standpoint.

385
00:26:45.039 --> 00:26:47.920
I mean, it may surprise little
in the middle of the pack if

386
00:26:47.920 --> 00:26:52.519
you talk about earn ren averages.
But the problem for the Pirates has not

387
00:26:52.559 --> 00:26:55.519
been their pitching. The problem for
the Pirates has been their run production,

388
00:26:55.640 --> 00:26:59.559
and that's been very, very low. In fact, they're twenty fifth in

389
00:26:59.680 --> 00:27:03.559
hitting, they're twenty second in run
score, they're twenty fourth in home runs

390
00:27:03.559 --> 00:27:07.799
that have been hit. You know, they've allowed just a two to thirty

391
00:27:07.880 --> 00:27:14.279
nine batting average against their pitching.
So it's not the pitching's fault. It's

392
00:27:14.440 --> 00:27:18.319
just been the hitters have not been
producing runs. It feels like this three

393
00:27:18.319 --> 00:27:21.279
game series, Rick, it's going
to be a pitchers duel. Like you

394
00:27:21.359 --> 00:27:23.920
mentioned, every one of these games, do you feel like low scoring games

395
00:27:23.920 --> 00:27:27.720
with the way the Dodger offense has
been going, I would look at that,

396
00:27:29.000 --> 00:27:33.599
and you know, if you look
at this lineup tonight, it's going

397
00:27:33.680 --> 00:27:37.000
to be Chris Taylor starts in center
field, He'll ban in the nine spot,

398
00:27:37.200 --> 00:27:38.920
Miguel Rojas is going to be at
third base. Everything else kind of

399
00:27:38.920 --> 00:27:42.880
remains the same with Hayward in right, Lux is at second base, and

400
00:27:44.160 --> 00:27:48.160
this Dodger buclub. You know,
here's the thing. When they the Dodgers,

401
00:27:48.200 --> 00:27:51.000
when they give up in a game, they have the fewest number of

402
00:27:51.079 --> 00:27:56.000
games that they've allowed five runs or
more only thirteen. New York Yankees fifteen,

403
00:27:56.440 --> 00:28:00.279
Baltimore Oriarls sixteen, Kandasll Royals Seventeen's
good news. The bad news is

404
00:28:00.279 --> 00:28:04.680
when they allow five runs or more, the Dodgers have the lowest amount of

405
00:28:04.720 --> 00:28:10.240
wins. In fact, zero,
They're zero to thirteen when they give up

406
00:28:10.240 --> 00:28:12.200
five runs or more, which by
the way, does not happen that often.

407
00:28:12.279 --> 00:28:17.000
Yeah, it's a little surprising.
Considering how much this offense was on

408
00:28:17.119 --> 00:28:19.119
full throttle the first month of the
season. But they have to find a

409
00:28:19.160 --> 00:28:22.960
way to get back there. Yeah, and I think also with Chris Taylor

410
00:28:22.960 --> 00:28:25.519
in that lineup today, Dave Roberson's
come out and say, look, we're

411
00:28:25.559 --> 00:28:30.680
going to give him ample opportunity in
order to come out of a very difficult

412
00:28:30.680 --> 00:28:34.599
spot from an offensive standpoint. He's
not put the ball into play. And

413
00:28:34.960 --> 00:28:38.240
I go back to what I've said
about Chris Taylor the last three or four

414
00:28:38.319 --> 00:28:41.960
years. Pound for pound, Chris
Taylor, when he's he's hitting the ball,

415
00:28:42.279 --> 00:28:47.480
I think hits it as hard as
anybody in Major League Baseball. Has

416
00:28:47.519 --> 00:28:51.000
been a challenge for him. Unfortunately, it hit the ball consistently. When

417
00:28:51.039 --> 00:28:53.119
you look at the Dodgers and the
bottom third of the order, it feels

418
00:28:53.160 --> 00:28:57.319
like they're starting to show some sign
of life. Yeah. The averages have

419
00:28:57.400 --> 00:29:03.400
come up depending upon who's making up
that threesome at the bottom of the order,

420
00:29:03.960 --> 00:29:07.559
and that just really helps solidify this
Dodger ball club when you look at

421
00:29:07.559 --> 00:29:11.640
one through nine in their positions.
Wish by the way, I want to

422
00:29:11.680 --> 00:29:15.599
take a just a second, just
a preview coming up a little bit later

423
00:29:15.640 --> 00:29:18.640
on you're going to have a pregame, guest, I mentioned local products,

424
00:29:18.799 --> 00:29:22.759
Southern California products are on the mound, and you've got a big find on

425
00:29:22.799 --> 00:29:26.480
your pre game today. That's right. The biggest rookie star in Major League

426
00:29:26.480 --> 00:29:30.720

us. He's pitching against the Dodgers tomorrow,

427
00:29:30.759 --> 00:29:34.200

Orange County was show Heyo Tani.

428
00:29:34.359 --> 00:29:37.759
Really, so you'll hear from Paul
Steed. I know you had a pretty

429
00:29:37.759 --> 00:29:44.079
good interview and already lined up because
I could tell there's an extra bounce in

430
00:29:44.119 --> 00:29:45.480

451
00:31:04.200 --> 00:31:08.920
now what will likely be vass a
fielding insults from a Dodger player. It's

452
00:31:08.960 --> 00:31:14.640
an engagement of endearment. This this
high end touched. The Dodgers are in

453
00:31:14.680 --> 00:31:18.039
Pittsburgh, and we're joined right now
by tomorrow's starter from southern California, El

454
00:31:18.079 --> 00:31:22.640
Toro High School, Paul Skeens,
who's pitching for the Pirates now, A

455
00:31:22.720 --> 00:31:26.200
champion of the people, a champion
of Orange County. Thanks a lot for

456
00:31:26.240 --> 00:31:29.440
the time. Yeah, thank you
for having me man blown away being at

457
00:31:29.519 --> 00:31:33.200
PNC Park and seeing that stash in
full glory here. Yeah. No,

458
00:31:33.319 --> 00:31:34.240
it's a it's a great place,
and I'd like to think of it as

459
00:31:34.240 --> 00:31:37.000
a good stash. So thank you. I know everybody thinks of you as

460
00:31:37.039 --> 00:31:41.319
a national champion rightfully, so with
LSU. But this started, this journey

461
00:31:41.400 --> 00:31:47.279
started in southern California and specifically at
El Toro High School. I talked to

462
00:31:47.319 --> 00:31:49.880
your high school coach, Coach Gonzales, today, and he kind of lets

463
00:31:49.880 --> 00:31:52.640
you know that you were too big
to be a catcher. How did that

464
00:31:52.720 --> 00:31:56.079
news go over? No, I
mean I kept doing it for a couple

465
00:31:56.119 --> 00:31:59.720
of years. Yeah. The nice
thing is, uh, you know,

466
00:31:59.720 --> 00:32:01.000
for a long time, I didn't
really have restrictions. He let me catch.

467
00:32:01.039 --> 00:32:06.200
I didn't really have restrictions on what
positions I could play, so caught

468
00:32:06.240 --> 00:32:08.200
for a while. But obviously it's
just pitching, though, He told me,

469
00:32:08.240 --> 00:32:12.920
back in your junior year, there
was one playoff game where you pitched

470
00:32:12.920 --> 00:32:16.440
seven scoreless innings, and that seemed
to be kind of the bridge to your

471
00:32:16.480 --> 00:32:19.960
senior year. Did you feel that
way too, Yeah, for sure,

472
00:32:19.960 --> 00:32:22.480
because I hadn't started in my high
school. I mean I started on the

473
00:32:22.480 --> 00:32:27.519
freshman team my freshman year, but
after that I didn't start until that game.

474
00:32:27.519 --> 00:32:30.480
I was a closer that year,
so yeah, I went seven scoreless

475
00:32:30.519 --> 00:32:32.039
and then it kind of, you
know, the writing was on the wall

476
00:32:32.079 --> 00:32:36.960
that I should probably start the next
year, and so that's kind of where

477
00:32:37.000 --> 00:32:39.240
my focus went. I don't know
if you want this out publicly, but

478
00:32:39.440 --> 00:32:44.319
he told me that back at Eltora
High School, the baseball team would have

479
00:32:44.359 --> 00:32:49.640
a Halloween night and you dressed up
as the coach from the Bad News Bears.

480
00:32:49.880 --> 00:32:52.519
Where did that come from? No, we had a group that was

481
00:32:52.519 --> 00:32:54.640
my senior year, and we had
a group of probably four or five other

482
00:32:54.680 --> 00:32:59.640
guys who were players from the movie, and so we just you know,

483
00:32:59.680 --> 00:33:04.160
made it a whole charade, just
run around, brought them. Probably shouldn't

484
00:33:04.160 --> 00:33:07.440
say this publicly, but we brought
a motorcycle and or like one of those

485
00:33:07.480 --> 00:33:12.279
like little uh I don't even know, just one of the electric bikes or

486
00:33:12.319 --> 00:33:15.880
something like that. And yeah,
so it was that was a fun game.

487
00:33:15.240 --> 00:33:19.559
Paul Skeens is our guest as we
get set for first pitch here in

488
00:33:19.640 --> 00:33:24.240
Pittsburgh at PNC Park. Paul's pitching
tomorrow against the Dodgers. Anything when you

489
00:33:24.240 --> 00:33:29.400
think about that, a lot of
people back home will be watching you face

490
00:33:29.480 --> 00:33:32.599
the Dodgers. Did you have any
fandom of the Dodgers growing up a little

491
00:33:32.640 --> 00:33:35.839
bit. I've been to one Dodgers
game in my life and it was at

492
00:33:35.839 --> 00:33:38.599
Dodgers Stadium and that was, you
know, a surreal experience just to you

493
00:33:38.640 --> 00:33:43.519
know, watch a game there.
So you know, I paid attention to

494
00:33:43.599 --> 00:33:45.319
that. My my grandpa was more
of a Dodgers fan than than I was

495
00:33:45.440 --> 00:33:50.000
or my family was. But no, it's gonna be cool. When you

496
00:33:50.039 --> 00:33:52.200
grew up as a high school player, you know, you're you're pretty good.

497
00:33:52.680 --> 00:33:57.240
Was there anybody that you try to
emulate or at that point in time,

498
00:33:57.400 --> 00:34:00.079
are you just yourself a little bit? Just I sell, But definitely

499
00:34:00.079 --> 00:34:04.440
seeing Otani do it do what he
was doing with the Angels, because I

500
00:34:04.720 --> 00:34:07.599
was an Angels fan seeing him hit
and pitch that kind of you know,

501
00:34:07.639 --> 00:34:12.519
gave me some sm inspiration to be
able to do that at the next level.

502
00:34:12.559 --> 00:34:15.119
So just kept working and you know, did that as long as I

503
00:34:15.119 --> 00:34:17.039
could. How good of a hitter
was Paul Skans in high school? I

504
00:34:17.119 --> 00:34:21.599
was good? Uh, I was. I was a better hitter than I

505
00:34:21.639 --> 00:34:24.920
was a pitcher when I was in
high school. But I mean I didn't

506
00:34:24.920 --> 00:34:30.000
get drafted for a reason. Yeah. Yeah, Paul. Your family has

507
00:34:30.039 --> 00:34:32.119
a background in the military, right, you went to Air Force your first

508
00:34:32.159 --> 00:34:37.599
two years of college. How much
did you see in your future maybe being

509
00:34:37.840 --> 00:34:42.039
a fighter pilot for the Navy.
That was the goal, you know,

510
00:34:42.159 --> 00:34:44.440
since I was probably like a freshman
or sophomore in high school. I just

511
00:34:44.480 --> 00:34:49.159
wanted to fly and kind of saw
baseball as a as an avenue to do

512
00:34:49.239 --> 00:34:52.599
that, you know, as a
way to get you know, an education

513
00:34:52.679 --> 00:34:55.679
and that kind of thing. But
my goal was was to fly. Yeah,

514
00:34:55.719 --> 00:34:59.800
the Air Force Academy had Paul Skins
for a couple of years. Did

515
00:34:59.800 --> 00:35:02.199
you out grow that too? Yeah? I agree, fighters. I could

516
00:35:02.239 --> 00:35:07.079
probably fight, uh fly some other
stuff, but I agree fighters. When

517
00:35:07.199 --> 00:35:10.679
you look back at just this journey, how have you been able to handle

518
00:35:12.079 --> 00:35:15.679
the attention that you've gotten at seemingly
every step of your baseball journey, just

519
00:35:15.719 --> 00:35:20.039
staying present, taking it day to
day and doing the work that I need

520
00:35:20.079 --> 00:35:22.960
to do to to go out there
and compete, you know, making it

521
00:35:23.000 --> 00:35:27.079
simple like that. It's has definitely
helped you. Mentioned O Tani was kind

522
00:35:27.079 --> 00:35:31.639
of your inspiration. He's very routine
oriented. How much are you devoted to

523
00:35:31.760 --> 00:35:37.880
your five day routine? Really devoted? That's something that I think the Air

524
00:35:37.880 --> 00:35:42.679
Force Academy was really good for,
not just for baseball, but you know

525
00:35:42.719 --> 00:35:46.360
with life, just kind of instelling
a routine and uh and everybody who goes

526
00:35:46.360 --> 00:35:51.599
there. So yeah, that's that's
that's a big part of of you know,

527
00:35:51.639 --> 00:35:53.440
how I go about my business.
You're way past being a fan.

528
00:35:53.599 --> 00:35:59.440
So how much of the competitor inside
of you is looking forward to facing Otani

529
00:35:59.480 --> 00:36:02.599
tomorrow night? Yeah, I'm excited. It'll be fun. The Japanese media

530
00:36:02.679 --> 00:36:05.639
swarmed you. What was that about. Yeah, I don't know, that

531
00:36:05.679 --> 00:36:08.119
was a little bit of surprise.
Thanks a lot for the time. Great

532
00:36:08.159 --> 00:36:12.280
meeting you for the first time,
and I can understand why everybody at El

533
00:36:12.360 --> 00:36:15.039
Toro High School love Paul Skeens.
So thanks a lot for the time.

534
00:36:15.119 --> 00:36:16.639
Yeah, thank you. Very much. There he goes Tim one of the

535
00:36:16.679 --> 00:36:22.480
biggest rookie stars on the rise in
Major League Baseball, Paul Skins out of

536
00:36:22.559 --> 00:36:23.800
El Toro High School. We'll send
it back to you in the studio.

537
00:36:23.880 --> 00:36:27.440
Yeah. Thanks, a lot of
DVAH from Eltoral High School to the Air

538
00:36:27.480 --> 00:36:30.760
Force Academy and then at LSU where
he got a lot of attentions. The

539
00:36:30.760 --> 00:36:34.320
best pitcher in college baseball going to
the College Baseball World Series, and then

540
00:36:34.400 --> 00:36:37.960
last year the number one overall pick, hands down, the best player in

541
00:36:38.000 --> 00:36:42.679
college baseball a year ago gets drafted, and here he is already in the

542
00:36:42.679 --> 00:36:45.679
big leagues and the Dodgers will see
him tomorrow. Dodgers Baseball is brought to

Pirates on this Tuesday afternoon. I'm next.

546
00:36:57.440 --> 00:37:00.519
We'll time de front of this pitching
matchup. Don't go anywhere. I'm

547
00:37:00.519 --> 00:37:08.400
Tim Kats's Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network. This is Marongo Casino Dodgers on deck

548

549
00:37:16.039 --> 00:37:22.000
on this Tuesday afternoon from PNZ Park. First pitch coming up at three forty

550
00:37:22.159 --> 00:37:27.000
and now before the Dodgers hit the
dinat we look at the pitching matchup.

551
00:37:27.039 --> 00:37:30.199
Where is it about your Southern California
Toyota Dealers turn your trail dominating off roading

552
00:37:30.320 --> 00:37:35.400
dreams into a reality in an all
new twenty twenty four Tacoma. See your

553
00:37:35.400 --> 00:37:38.239

easy. Jared Jones on the mound for

554
00:37:38.280 --> 00:37:43.440
the Pirates three and five, three
fifty five ERA, twenty two year old

555
00:37:43.519 --> 00:37:45.880
rookie right hander, second round pick
of the Pirates in twenty twenty out of

556
00:37:45.960 --> 00:37:51.639
Lamarada High School, making his twelve
start this season. He throws a four

557
00:37:51.760 --> 00:37:54.960
seam fastball in the upper nineties.
Also throws a slider sometimes the curb,

558
00:37:55.039 --> 00:37:59.599
and a lot of fastballs from Jared
Jones. Last time out four and a

559
00:37:59.639 --> 00:38:01.840
third in seven runs, five hits, and a loss to the Tigers.

560
00:38:01.880 --> 00:38:07.480
This is his first time facing his
hometown team, the Dodgers. Tyler Glasnow

561
00:38:07.639 --> 00:38:10.199
on the mound six and three three
zero four ERA for the Dodgers, thirty

562
00:38:10.280 --> 00:38:14.320
year old right hand in his ninth
season. He was drafted and made his

563
00:38:14.440 --> 00:38:17.159
major league debut with the Pirates before
being traded to the Rays after two seasons

564
00:38:17.159 --> 00:38:21.360
of the big leagues. Making his
thirteen start this year, he leads the

565
00:38:21.400 --> 00:38:23.800
major leagues with ninety five strikeouts.
Last time out, seven innings, two

566
00:38:23.920 --> 00:38:27.840
runs, two hits, eight strikeouts
and a no decision against the Pirates.

567
00:38:27.960 --> 00:38:30.159
This will be his first time at
PNC Park since being traded in twenty eighteen

568
00:38:30.199 --> 00:38:35.360
to the Tampa Rays. Can't say
he pitches well though, at PNC Park.

569
00:38:35.400 --> 00:38:37.920
When with the Pirates, he was
just one and five with a five

570
00:38:37.920 --> 00:38:42.679
to twenty three e eighty two strikeouts
over seventy five in two third indings.

571
00:38:42.800 --> 00:38:45.039
Dodgers and Pirates were fifteen minutes away
for first pitch. Keys to the game.

578
00:39:16.079 --> 00:39:20.159
Monday, Tim Never guys, Tam, thank you very much. This is

579
00:39:20.159 --> 00:39:23.440
going to be a battle tonight of
hard throwing right handers. Jared Jones,

580
00:39:23.880 --> 00:39:29.760
he's three and five. Struggled in
his last outing, but in his prior

581
00:39:29.800 --> 00:39:32.400
starts sixty three and a third innings
covered, he has struck out seventy.

582
00:39:32.840 --> 00:39:37.239
He is susceptible to the home run, He's allowed eleven home runs this year,

583
00:39:37.559 --> 00:39:40.039
but he can throw the fastball constantly, running it up there in triple

584
00:39:40.079 --> 00:39:44.760
digits. Another guy with a high
octane fastball as Toddler Glasnow. He's the

585
00:39:44.800 --> 00:39:47.360
major league leader in strikeouts and he
could be the first in the big leagues

586
00:39:47.400 --> 00:39:50.400
to get to one hundred of those
tonight. Yeah, it's going to be

587
00:39:50.599 --> 00:39:53.639
interesting to see in glasshow Also,
he's handled the lefties just a one seventy

588
00:39:53.639 --> 00:39:59.360
three average. Right handers won seventy
five average. He's had seven home runs

589
00:39:59.440 --> 00:40:01.480
hit off of him. But when
you look at Glasnow overall, a one

590
00:40:01.440 --> 00:40:06.880
to seventy four batting average against him, and it's even below two hundred with

591
00:40:07.000 --> 00:40:10.000
runners in scoring position. Dodgers have
to be careful of this pirate ball club.

592
00:40:10.079 --> 00:40:15.239
The Pirates have won eight of the
last thirteen against the Dodgers. Dodgers,

593
00:40:15.320 --> 00:40:19.840
meantime, have won five for the
last six overall. Jared Jones against

594
00:40:19.880 --> 00:40:24.079
Tyler Glassnow it's the Dodgers and the
Pirates coming up from Pittsburgh. First pitches

595
00:40:24.159 --> 00:40:27.639
