Dodgers onod the deck. We got

00:00:49.280 --> 00:00:53.679
hear from the manager Dave Roberts.
We'll dive deeper into this pitching matchup.

12
00:00:53.719 --> 00:00:58.240
Will if your Dodgers magical moment coming

13
00:00:58.280 --> 00:01:02.840
you an injury report. Vas Tegos
one on one with Billy Gasparino, the

14
00:01:02.880 --> 00:01:07.719
Dodgers vice president of Amateur Scouting,
a week after the MLB draft. How

15
00:01:07.719 --> 00:01:10.879
did the Dodgers do? And great
out? We'll hear for the man in

16
00:01:10.959 --> 00:01:15.120
charge that shortly, we'll hear from
Kirsten Watson from sports and at LA and

17
00:01:15.159 --> 00:01:18.920
in just a few minutes we'll check
in with Steven Nelson and Jose Mota out

18
00:01:18.920 --> 00:01:23.920
the Gallpin Motors Broadcast booth. Well, last night Dodgers had a knack forgetting

19
00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:26.560
the win. They're fifth in a
row, landing knack. The big right

20
00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:30.840
hander, the rookie, pitched well
for the Dodgers last night. Five innings,

21
00:01:30.879 --> 00:01:34.640
one run, two hits, struck
out six along the way, throwing

22
00:01:34.760 --> 00:01:41.400
ninety six pitches. The Dodgers offense
given some instant offense to work with a

23
00:01:41.519 --> 00:01:46.200
couple of wild pitches. Have two
in scoring position, two balls, two

24
00:01:46.200 --> 00:01:49.159
strikes, and now the pitch to
looks. Gavin swings line the base hit

25
00:01:49.239 --> 00:01:53.200
the right field. That's gonna get
all the way to the right field corner.

26
00:01:53.359 --> 00:01:57.480
Then score a pair. Freeman touches
home. Hernandez will follow Gavin.

27
00:01:57.519 --> 00:02:01.239
What's going for three? The throw
to third is in time. They get

28
00:02:01.359 --> 00:02:06.640
him, but the two runs had
scored, so it's a two run double

29
00:02:06.719 --> 00:02:09.319
for Gavin. Looks breaking the ice
with two out in the first inning.

30
00:02:09.639 --> 00:02:15.159
Two run double for LuxI is eleventh
double of the season, RBI's twenty eight

31
00:02:15.199 --> 00:02:19.159
and twenty nine for Gavin Lucks,
the raining National League Player of the Week

32
00:02:19.199 --> 00:02:23.560
now hit him three ninety three with
a twelve hundred OPS over the last nine

33
00:02:23.639 --> 00:02:27.439
games. He continues to produce now
in the middle of that Dodgers lineup,

34
00:02:27.439 --> 00:02:30.919
Dodgers up two to nothing. The
one mistake that landon Knack came in the

35
00:02:30.960 --> 00:02:34.400
top half of the second inning,
Tyler Fitzgerald a solo home run to the

36
00:02:34.439 --> 00:02:37.479
left that cut the lead in half. Dodgers up two to one, but

37
00:02:37.520 --> 00:02:40.840
then in the fourth runners on for
show Hey Otani. One ball, one

38
00:02:40.879 --> 00:02:46.360
strike, Hayward and Bizio the base
runners. The pitch, o Tani pulls

39
00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:51.240
it the right field. It is
gonna hook down and bounce off the warning

40
00:02:51.280 --> 00:02:53.840
track, one hop off the cage
in front of the giant bullpen. Hayward

41
00:02:53.879 --> 00:02:59.919
scores the relay home not in time. Bisgyo Sake puts two more on the

42
00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:05.680
two run double for show Hey old
Tony. Twenty six double of the season

43
00:03:05.759 --> 00:03:09.840
for Otani that now ties him with
Aaron Judge for the Major league lead with

44
00:03:09.960 --> 00:03:15.159
sixty extra base hits on this season. That gave the Dodgers a four to

45
00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:19.080
one lead of the eighth inny Otani
tacked on another run for the Dodgers with

46
00:03:19.080 --> 00:03:23.879
an RBI singles scoring Andy Paez that
gave the Dodgers a five to one lead.

47
00:03:23.960 --> 00:03:27.039
That's the top Tier player of the
game sponsored by Arco Quality, Top

48
00:03:27.080 --> 00:03:30.599
Tier Gas for Less shoey Otani also
the only player in Major League Baseball this

49
00:03:30.680 --> 00:03:37.120
season now with thirty home runs and
twenty five doubles. As the Dodgers go

50
00:03:37.199 --> 00:03:40.080
on and beat the Giants last night
five to two, got a little iffy

51
00:03:40.120 --> 00:03:44.360
there on the ninth inning with Alex
Vesia on in relief, a couple of

52
00:03:44.439 --> 00:03:47.199
walks a hit gave up a run, but Evan Phillips came in and got

53
00:03:47.199 --> 00:03:52.000
out of it by getting the final
out of the game after a walk.

54
00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:54.520
As the Dodgers get the five to
two win, the win goes to Landon

55
00:03:54.639 --> 00:03:59.400
Nack. He's now two and two, save number fifteen for Evan Phillips for

56
00:03:59.479 --> 00:04:01.919
the Dodgers, there are again twenty
games over five hundred on the season.

57
00:04:01.919 --> 00:04:05.039
It's sixty one and forty one and
eight and a half game lead in the

58
00:04:05.080 --> 00:04:10.199
division, and tonight they look to
keep it going. With Tyler glassnew fresh

59
00:04:10.199 --> 00:04:13.520
off the IL, he is backing
on the mound for the Blue. First

60
00:04:13.520 --> 00:04:15.920
pitch is seven ten and with more
we head out to the Galpin Motors broadcast

61
00:04:15.920 --> 00:04:20.120
booth as we say hello to Stephen
Nelson and Jose Mode guys, thank you

62
00:04:20.160 --> 00:04:24.600
Tim Here with Jose, Mota and
Jose. The Dodgers riding high five game

63
00:04:24.639 --> 00:04:28.240
winning streak, the longest winning streak
of five plus of the first winning streak

64
00:04:28.279 --> 00:04:30.680
of at least five games since they
won seven in a row from May one

65
00:04:30.759 --> 00:04:34.480
to May eighth, and so they've
taken the first two games this final series

66
00:04:34.480 --> 00:04:40.279
against San Francisco and five to out
RBIs last night. So let's talk about

67
00:04:40.319 --> 00:04:43.600
the offense on this side. As
he talk about RBIs, think about the

68
00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:46.480
last twenty four runs they have scored, thirteen have been driven by the last

69
00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:50.040
five guys in the lineup, which
is remarkable considering that, you know,

70
00:04:50.279 --> 00:04:54.680
throughout the season the story has been
pretty much do the narrative, where's the

71
00:04:54.759 --> 00:04:56.680
other side of the lineup? Well, now they're getting it done, and

72
00:04:56.680 --> 00:05:00.319
they're gonna get done also in different
ways, because we look at kick your

73
00:05:00.319 --> 00:05:03.000
Hernandez and the wayste contribute, Look
at Gavin Lutz and the wayst contribute.

74
00:05:03.040 --> 00:05:08.199
They look at Chris Taylor prolonging at
bats and then playing fundamental baseball. That's

75
00:05:08.199 --> 00:05:12.560
been pretty much the basic back to
contact, back to driving the ball the

76
00:05:12.639 --> 00:05:15.680
other way when they need to protect
with two strikes. And then the best

77
00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:18.240
part is the emotional side that you
talked about last night, the two out

78
00:05:18.399 --> 00:05:21.800
RBIs I've been there, and that
hurts the other team even more so tonight

79
00:05:21.839 --> 00:05:26.759
they try to take this series from
their rivals. And we have a couple

80
00:05:26.720 --> 00:05:30.600
of pitchers coming off the injury list, one in Tyler Glass Now. His

81
00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:32.879
was just a brief stint, a
minor one at that and Glass now has

82
00:05:32.920 --> 00:05:36.360
said if it wasn't if it was
the postseason time, he would have pushed

83
00:05:36.959 --> 00:05:40.079
to pitch through it. But it
was the All Star breaks, we took

84
00:05:40.079 --> 00:05:43.720
it easy. On the other side, Robbie Ray his season and Giants debut,

85
00:05:43.800 --> 00:05:47.360
was acquired from Seattle in the offseason. And I'm thinking about one thing,

86
00:05:47.480 --> 00:05:51.240
is Taostra Hernandez going to stay hot? And can Tyler Glass now cool

87
00:05:51.279 --> 00:05:56.959
off Tyler Fitzgerald because he's homered in
five consecutive games. That's gonna take a

88
00:05:56.959 --> 00:06:00.720
little strategy as to make him feel
uncomfortable in the batter. And for ti

89
00:06:00.800 --> 00:06:03.600
Oscar, I don't worry too much
about when he's in one of these streaks

90
00:06:03.639 --> 00:06:08.920
like this and he's making contact that
swing and shorter. The results have been

91
00:06:09.000 --> 00:06:13.519
there, and I think he looked
for situations and just hunts pitches and really

92
00:06:13.720 --> 00:06:15.560
wants those type of situations. So
I'm not to worried about him because he

93
00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:17.839
can go out there and go one
for four and still get you a big

94
00:06:17.879 --> 00:06:23.600
base hit. Seventeen game on bass
streak for Tao, he's slashing three sixty

95
00:06:23.680 --> 00:06:29.680
nine, slugging five sixty nine during
the stretch with twelve RBIs So Tayo and

96
00:06:29.759 --> 00:06:34.600
the Dodgers approaching game number three of
this series. As Tyler Glass now makes

97
00:06:34.600 --> 00:06:39.879
his return from the Angelust will dive
more into Glass when we chat with you

98
00:06:39.920 --> 00:06:41.920
again. Tim, All right,
thanks a lot, guys, as we

99
00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:45.720

on Dodgers on Deck. Y'all on
the official home of La Dodgers Baseball,

111
00:07:38.000 --> 00:07:41.879
Dodgers and Giants on this Wednesday night. Tyler Glass, now fresh off the

112
00:07:41.920 --> 00:07:46.720
injured list, Robbie Ray makes his
San Francisco debut. First pitch coming up

113
00:07:46.959 --> 00:07:54.759
at sevent ten. This is the
Otani rewide one ball, one strike,

114
00:07:54.959 --> 00:08:00.800
Hayward and Vizio the base runners.
The pitch Otani pulls it to right field.

115
00:08:01.040 --> 00:08:03.680
It is gonna hook down and bounce
off the warning track. One hop

116
00:08:03.720 --> 00:08:09.000
off the cage in front of the
giant bullpen. Hayward scores the relay home.

117
00:08:09.240 --> 00:08:13.199
Not in time, Bigio Say put
two more on the board, a

118
00:08:13.399 --> 00:08:18.839
two run double for show Hey Old
Tani. The two two pitch, Otani

119
00:08:18.920 --> 00:08:22.600
lines a base hit to center field. Potz comes home. Heyward's going to

120
00:08:22.680 --> 00:08:28.240
third. He slides in safe third
RBI for Otani in LA five one.

121
00:08:28.399 --> 00:08:33.639
Dodger leads show Hey Otani with the
two run double on the fourth then he

122
00:08:33.720 --> 00:08:37.600
followed out up with an RBI single
in the eighth inning. He drives in

123
00:08:37.720 --> 00:08:41.399
three runs last night as he improves
his average to three fourteen on this season.

124
00:08:41.440 --> 00:08:45.639
He drives in three of the Dodgers
five runs as they beat the Giants

125
00:08:45.720 --> 00:08:48.559
last night by a final of five
to two. The Otani Rewind brought to

126
00:08:48.559 --> 00:08:52.519
by Eto inns Oyocha, Japan's number
one green Tea and the Tea the Shoeotani

Loves and drinks available at local Diso
stores, Amazon and eto in dot com.

128
00:08:58.240 --> 00:09:03.759
That's it o e A dot Com. This is Kirston's Corner with Kirston

129
00:09:03.919 --> 00:09:09.039
Watson and Kirson now joins us on
this Wednesday night before first pitch. It's

130
00:09:09.080 --> 00:09:13.879
been a busy day for the Dodgers. Kirson ryan a winning streak, and

131
00:09:13.039 --> 00:09:16.559
they add a new face to the
lineup. They did they added Nick on

132
00:09:16.679 --> 00:09:20.759
Med because a usual face of the
lineup is actually going on the injured list.

133
00:09:20.799 --> 00:09:26.159
Miguel Rojas a couple of days ago
left the game with four arm tightness.

134
00:09:26.679 --> 00:09:28.600
They were really hoping that he was
only going to be down two days

135
00:09:28.639 --> 00:09:33.000
and then get back in the lineup
today, but he ended up getting some

136
00:09:33.120 --> 00:09:37.679
imaging It showed at a flexer strain, so they need to give him some

137
00:09:37.759 --> 00:09:41.039
time to heal, so they're placing
him on the il. That of course

138
00:09:41.120 --> 00:09:45.120
means a massive question mark for who
was going to be the shortstop for the

139
00:09:45.159 --> 00:09:48.279
Dodgers, so they acquired Nick on
Med. He was dfa'ed earlier this month,

140
00:09:48.360 --> 00:09:52.519
actually from the Giants, who of
course he's going to be playing with

141
00:09:52.559 --> 00:09:56.840
his return now to the rival the
Dodgers. Obviously a lot of familiarity,

142
00:09:56.039 --> 00:10:01.039
whether it's been playing against the Dodgers
for the Giants or are playing with the

143
00:10:01.120 --> 00:10:05.960
Giants who he's going to be playing
against them today, So it's definitely it's

144
00:10:05.960 --> 00:10:09.720
a welcome return for him to the
big leagues. He's someone who he said,

145
00:10:09.720 --> 00:10:13.080
he's been staying in a good spot. He's now a veteran in this

146
00:10:13.159 --> 00:10:16.120
game, so he's been in Arizona
kind of just staying hot. So he

147
00:10:16.159 --> 00:10:18.799
feels like he's in a good spot. And Dave Roberts was saying that the

148
00:10:18.879 --> 00:10:24.399
plan for him, he's going to
be the everyday shortstop for the Dodgers now

149
00:10:24.480 --> 00:10:28.679
moving forward until Miguel Rojas as well
as Mookie Bets, until they're healthy and

150
00:10:28.720 --> 00:10:31.320
they can return. He is gonna
give him some off days here and there

151
00:10:31.519 --> 00:10:35.639
just to kind of manage him,
and then when he does do that,

152
00:10:35.759 --> 00:10:39.759
then Kei k Hernandez will be stepping
in as the shortstop. But this was

153
00:10:39.799 --> 00:10:43.840
a move to they they're optimistic that
guys are getting healthy and returning, but

154
00:10:43.000 --> 00:10:48.039
it is a solution for until then, until Mookie Bets also returns. What's

155
00:10:48.080 --> 00:10:52.960
the lightness on Mookie in that hand? Yeah, it's getting stronger. He's

156
00:10:52.000 --> 00:10:56.440
been taking grounders out here, he
was running the base pass so's he's staying

157
00:10:56.480 --> 00:11:01.080
in shape and staying taking part in
baseball activity. He's now taken some swings.

158
00:11:01.360 --> 00:11:05.840
It's all soft toss or off the
tee things like that. No velocity

159
00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:09.120
just yet, because the biggest thing
is he has to continue to build that

160
00:11:09.279 --> 00:11:13.679
strength in his hand. As much
as it's healing, it's not ready to

161
00:11:13.759 --> 00:11:16.879
go just yet. So these have
been just really good steps in the right

162
00:11:16.919 --> 00:11:20.399
direction. But he feels good.
He's found different ways to stay engaged and

163
00:11:20.440 --> 00:11:24.320
stay ready because he knows that when
he returns, it's go time. You

164
00:11:24.320 --> 00:11:28.960
know it's going to be late August
September baseball, then as soon as you

165
00:11:30.039 --> 00:11:33.519
know, it's October baseball. So
he's staying ready to get back. And

166
00:11:33.559 --> 00:11:37.360
obviously he's got to be ready to
shortstop position as well as well as second

167
00:11:37.360 --> 00:11:39.840
base because whatever the team needs for
him when he returns, that's what's going

168
00:11:39.879 --> 00:11:43.200
to be asked of him. Another
Dodger coming back tonight, and Tyler Glass

169
00:11:43.240 --> 00:11:46.639

time cures, so we will check back

more from the Dodger skipper. Questions for

193
00:13:33.399 --> 00:13:35.759
Dave, Dave, can you just
describe Dave? Can you talk about the

194
00:13:35.799 --> 00:13:41.960
pressure in the dugouts with Dave roberts
All? Hi, Dave, lots of

195
00:13:41.039 --> 00:13:45.759
news today, So we'll see.
We'll start with Nick Ahmed. What does

196
00:13:45.799 --> 00:13:48.120
he bring to the team and what
is the role that you're kind of expecting

197
00:13:48.159 --> 00:13:56.559
for him? Just moving forward?
Well, Nick brings uh obviously gold glove

198
00:13:56.600 --> 00:14:03.960
defense. That shortstop. There's there's
a grit, a toughness, a compete.

199
00:14:03.879 --> 00:14:09.840
He's a veteran ballplayer, familiar with
certainly the National League West, the

200
00:14:09.919 --> 00:14:16.120
National League, and I just like
the grind and the toughness. So I

201
00:14:16.159 --> 00:14:18.679
think it's gonna be. I think
he'll meld really well with our ball club.

202
00:14:20.120 --> 00:14:24.559
Certainly planned against our guys for so
long, there's familiarity and just a

203
00:14:24.600 --> 00:14:31.360
consistency. So for me, he's
gonna lock down shortstop and there's certain days

204
00:14:31.360 --> 00:14:33.240
that I'll give him, give him
a day here there. But you know,

205
00:14:33.279 --> 00:14:37.039
the plan is while Miggie's down and
we just don't know how long that's

206
00:14:37.039 --> 00:14:41.639
gonna be with that farm, you
know, he's gonna play some short and

207
00:14:41.639 --> 00:14:46.600
then obviously we'll mix Keiky in there
as well. And then with Miguel Rojas

208
00:14:46.600 --> 00:14:50.399
going on the il you guys were
optimistic that this wasn't going to be the

209
00:14:50.440 --> 00:14:54.000
case. What I guess shifted that
it now needs an il Ston. He

210
00:14:54.000 --> 00:14:58.799
he had a scan and it came
up that there was a flexure strain,

211
00:15:00.759 --> 00:15:05.639
and so that's something where I don't
know the timetable. Some of it could

212
00:15:05.679 --> 00:15:09.440
be kind of how he's feeling.
As I understand it, he's going to

213
00:15:09.519 --> 00:15:13.720
take a few handful of days to
kind of non baseball activity, to let

214
00:15:13.759 --> 00:15:18.639
it subside and then get him back, and then you know, get him

215
00:15:18.679 --> 00:15:20.639
back hopefully as soon as possible.
All Right, there's Dave Roberts down the

221
00:15:37.799 --> 00:15:41.000
out the first pitch. Dodgers and
Giants, Tim Cases, Los Angeles Dodgers

222
00:15:41.159 --> 00:15:52.039
Audio Network. This is Marongo Casino, Dodgers on Deck on your home for

223
00:15:52.120 --> 00:15:58.000
the Blue all season law Dodgers and
Giants on this Wednesday night. Tyler glasnow

224
00:15:58.080 --> 00:16:02.919
Robbie Ray. That matchup series will
wrap up tomorrow at a one o'clock first

225
00:16:02.919 --> 00:16:07.480
pitch tonight though, first pitch coming
up at sevent ten. Joining Tim Kats

226
00:16:07.519 --> 00:16:11.440
on Dodgers on Deck, I accept
everybody for who they are. This is

227
00:16:11.559 --> 00:16:17.919
Dodger insider David basse Well. Last
night, Nick on Men was at home,

228
00:16:18.120 --> 00:16:19.519
didn't know if he had a future
in baseball anymore, and here he

229
00:16:19.600 --> 00:16:22.840
is a Dodger now, David twenty
four hours later. Yeah, the Dodgers

230
00:16:22.840 --> 00:16:29.559
certainly needed Nick Onmed. This is
really good timing on both fronts. Unfortunately,

231
00:16:30.080 --> 00:16:36.399
Miguel Rojas's right arm has not responded
and the Dodgers need an infielder,

232
00:16:36.559 --> 00:16:41.440
and Nick on Med was released by
the Giants on July thirteenth and was available,

233
00:16:41.559 --> 00:16:45.840
and as known, the NL west
really well playing for the Diamondbacks and

234
00:16:45.919 --> 00:16:48.919
Giants. And when we saw him
come out of the Dodger clubhouse and in

235
00:16:49.039 --> 00:16:52.559
the dugouts, I took a double
take. I said, wait a minute,

236
00:16:52.600 --> 00:16:56.519
that's Nick Onmed wearing Dodger blue.
And we caught up with him after

237
00:16:56.559 --> 00:17:00.000
he did some infield work with Dino
Ebol. All right, Nick, how

238
00:17:00.000 --> 00:17:04.640
did this all come together? Pretty
quickly? Got to call it late last

239
00:17:04.720 --> 00:17:10.599
night and greeted terms pretty quickly and
decided to come. And pretty obvious choice.

240
00:17:10.640 --> 00:17:14.000
Just playing against these guys for a
long time and knowing the opportunity to

241
00:17:14.000 --> 00:17:17.160
compete and win a championship is something
I wanted to send up for when you

242
00:17:17.200 --> 00:17:21.920
come to a team and you're thrust
into the lineup already so quickly. How

243
00:17:22.160 --> 00:17:25.759
is that easier? Is that more
challenging? I mean, the baseball parts

244
00:17:25.759 --> 00:17:27.160
are familiar part, it's just meeting
the new people and getting used to the

245
00:17:27.200 --> 00:17:30.599
new environment is the tough part.
So once a game starts, it all

246
00:17:30.519 --> 00:17:33.480
all be normal. I'm excited to
play tonight and excited to get a win

247
00:17:33.519 --> 00:17:37.119
tonight too. When they asked you
about signing here, did they kind of

248
00:17:37.160 --> 00:17:41.920
explain this as a long term situation
a short term situation. Yeah, we

249
00:17:41.920 --> 00:17:44.880
didn't talk too much about that.
You know, obviously things changed all the

250
00:17:44.920 --> 00:17:47.240
time, and you know, I'm
just here going to focus one day at

251
00:17:47.279 --> 00:17:49.880
a time and try to help us
win games. Nick on Met thirty four

252
00:17:49.960 --> 00:17:56.000
years old, played fifty two games
with the San Francisco Giants before being released.

253
00:17:56.039 --> 00:17:59.160
He's not known for as bad at
this point in time in his career.

254
00:17:59.480 --> 00:18:03.559
He hit two two this year with
the Giants, But certainly he serves

255
00:18:03.599 --> 00:18:08.599
a purpose a sure handed defender at
shortstop, and he replaces a sure handed

256
00:18:08.599 --> 00:18:11.960
defender at shortstop right now. David
is driven by Ford. If there's one

257
00:18:11.960 --> 00:18:15.440
thing we like, his choice is
fine, yours at the Ford f one

258
00:18:15.559 --> 00:18:19.640
fifty gas hybrid or electric tough and
smart. That can only mean the Ford

259
00:18:19.759 --> 00:18:23.519
F one fifty Walker Bueller. David
is back from his floor to get away.

260
00:18:25.079 --> 00:18:29.079
Yeah, the sabbatical's over. We
saw Walker Buehler out here when the

261
00:18:29.160 --> 00:18:32.400
Dodgers got back from the All Star
break, and he seems to be in

262
00:18:32.440 --> 00:18:37.240
a much better place, not only
physically but mentally. And remember he went

263
00:18:37.279 --> 00:18:41.119
on the IA with a hip issue, and that was part of his thought

264
00:18:41.200 --> 00:18:45.440
process to kind of get away from
things and be able to not only get

265
00:18:45.440 --> 00:18:51.200
his hip right, but also his
pitching mechanics right. Was that from that?

266
00:18:51.319 --> 00:18:52.440
I don't know, you know,
but I did have a strain in

267
00:18:52.880 --> 00:19:00.440
kind of the growing hip until uh
that's important to pictures. So yeah,

268
00:19:00.599 --> 00:19:02.799
you know, I feel better now. I feel a lot more encouraged in

269
00:19:02.880 --> 00:19:07.160
terms of, at least mentally that
the knowledge of the delivery and seemingly the

270
00:19:07.240 --> 00:19:12.039
misses and the bullpen have been It's
not taking me three or four to figure

271
00:19:12.039 --> 00:19:15.160
out why I miss up all there. It's kind of more like it used

272
00:19:15.160 --> 00:19:19.440
to be. And so yeah,
I think that's encouraging. That was unique

273
00:19:19.480 --> 00:19:23.200
to do what you did. Did
you feel like it benefited you and you

274
00:19:23.279 --> 00:19:26.519
got what you wanted out of it. Yeah, I think it was I

275
00:19:26.519 --> 00:19:29.279
think it was beneficial. I think
it kind of figured out kind of a

276
00:19:29.359 --> 00:19:32.480
roadmap or like a stairstep to getting
back to where I want to be.

277
00:19:32.519 --> 00:19:34.480
But you know, I'm not the
first you got to do that. I

278
00:19:34.559 --> 00:19:38.880
think maybe I'm one of the more
open people about doing it. But we've

279
00:19:38.880 --> 00:19:45.039
had members of this team to do
that before, and so hopefully it works

280
00:19:45.039 --> 00:19:48.519
out a little better for myself than
it did. But yeah, I mean,

281
00:19:48.559 --> 00:19:53.160
I'm encouraged by it, and I
think it's a big testament to kind

282
00:19:53.200 --> 00:20:00.319
of the relationship that that we have
between myself and the front office and the

283
00:20:00.319 --> 00:20:03.039
coaching staff that we can kind of
trust each other to do something like that,

284
00:20:03.200 --> 00:20:08.240
and you know, I hope that
what comes out of it, you

285
00:20:08.279 --> 00:20:12.440
know, is beneficial for all of
us. Walker Buehler is getting closer to

286
00:20:12.680 --> 00:20:17.680
making another start for the Dodgers,
but first tim, he told me that

287
00:20:17.759 --> 00:20:22.960
he is going to make a rehab
start on Friday for Oklahoma City and from

288
00:20:22.000 --> 00:20:26.279
there maybe you return to the Dodgers
major league rotation. We shall see.

289
00:20:26.319 --> 00:20:29.880
Thank you David coming up here on
Moroco because you know, Dodgers on deck

presented by Hawfey Hot Dogs. We go

299
00:21:18.200 --> 00:21:25.119
back ten years September thirteenth, twenty
fourteen. Dodgers in San Francisco taking on

300
00:21:25.200 --> 00:21:29.960
the Giants. They absolutely clabbered the
Giants, so much so Zach Ranky got

301
00:21:30.000 --> 00:21:33.640
into the Home Run Fund either on
the app store or you can visit MLB

302
00:21:33.720 --> 00:21:36.519
dot com. Had a fly ball
to left center field. It's deep,

303
00:21:36.720 --> 00:21:41.119
it is on its way and Zach
Franky's just hit a two run home run.

304
00:21:41.559 --> 00:21:48.680
The route continues the Dodgers leading thirteen
to nothing, Zach Ranky with a

305
00:21:48.720 --> 00:21:52.000
home run in the sixth inning as
the Dodgers put a seventeen spot up on

306
00:21:52.039 --> 00:21:56.559
the scoreboard, and they shut out
the Giants on that September night in twenty

307
00:21:56.640 --> 00:22:00.039
fourteen, seventeen to zero. This

310
00:22:08.720 --> 00:22:12.160
continue here on Dodgers on Deck.
We'll hear from Jose Mota, so lead

311
00:22:12.160 --> 00:22:17.599
you up to first pitch. Dodgers, Giants, Keike Hernandez Baba ahead night.

312
00:22:17.839 --> 00:22:21.279
First pitch is seven to ten.
I'm Tim Kaatesi's Los Angeles Dodgers Audio

Network. It is Laurento Casino,
Dodgers on Dodgers on Deck. Y'all on

this four game set, Tyler Glass

316
00:22:37.559 --> 00:22:41.039

joined by David Basse. Here's La Dodgers

321
00:22:56.440 --> 00:23:03.680
broadcaster and World Series cham being Dodger
Rick Monday. We are locked in here

322
00:23:03.720 --> 00:23:07.200
at Dodgers Stadium. Rick Monday will
rejoin us on the upcoming road trip in

323
00:23:07.279 --> 00:23:12.640
Houston, but again Jose Mota alongside
Steven Nelson tonight, and we do have

324
00:23:12.799 --> 00:23:18.920
a new starting shortstop Jose Mota,
and that is Nick Ahmed, who is

325
00:23:18.720 --> 00:23:22.759
luckily for the Dodgers, was available
at Miguel Rojas going on the IL.

326
00:23:22.880 --> 00:23:26.119
How about that SAT news about Miguel
Rojas, because we knew when I saw

327
00:23:26.160 --> 00:23:30.960
him catching ground balls yesterday and he's
not making any throws and then the coovery

328
00:23:30.000 --> 00:23:34.279
hut in his forearm and tossing the
ball gingerly to the infil us that this

329
00:23:34.400 --> 00:23:37.839
does not look good and you saw
it too, But now you find a

330
00:23:37.880 --> 00:23:41.680
guy has one gold globes and his
job is one thing, catch the baseball,

331
00:23:42.079 --> 00:23:47.480
fit into the infield flow, and
then on top of that, in

332
00:23:47.519 --> 00:23:51.200
the bottom of the other play the
small ball. Because you've done it before,

333
00:23:51.599 --> 00:23:53.440
you know what it's all about.
I'm sure that Nick Ahma has in

334
00:23:53.599 --> 00:23:57.680
mind the fact that last season he
was a staple in Arizona, right,

335
00:23:57.960 --> 00:24:02.160
but he was not what happened when
they were doing later in the season.

336
00:24:02.160 --> 00:24:04.160
So I'm glad they got him because
just July tenth, he got let go

337
00:24:04.160 --> 00:24:08.680
about the Giants and gives who's playing
Tonight's against the Giants and his former teammate

338
00:24:08.799 --> 00:24:12.359
Robbie Ray. He's going up against
Robbie Ray. How about that? About

339
00:24:12.359 --> 00:24:15.359
that too? He knows a thing
or two maybe about Robbie Ray, who's

340
00:24:15.400 --> 00:24:19.559
becoming obviously after a long layoff over
fourn in twenty days or so, but

341
00:24:19.920 --> 00:24:22.839
the teal that allows that he plays
out today. Robbie Ray is a guy

342
00:24:22.839 --> 00:24:27.640
that made actually ten ninth starts on
rehab, ten total games, which I

343
00:24:27.759 --> 00:24:32.279
love. They took him easy,
they spread him out. The last couple

344
00:24:32.319 --> 00:24:34.160
of starts. He's been punching people
out, which he takes a lot of

345
00:24:34.160 --> 00:24:37.400
pride in. And hopefully he'll come
today and find a Dodgers seem to also

346
00:24:37.440 --> 00:24:41.119
love that fastball, all right.
Going back to Nick on Med, he

347
00:24:41.319 --> 00:24:45.119
was out here early taking ground balls
with Dinu Ebol. They were going over

348
00:24:45.240 --> 00:24:48.400
a few different things because he was
just signed last night. And then Bob

349
00:24:48.519 --> 00:24:55.359
garn brought out the entire pitching staff
to go over pickoff moves for Nick on

350
00:24:55.480 --> 00:24:59.480
Med at second base. Where the
pitcher's resentful in the situation like that,

351
00:24:59.680 --> 00:25:02.799
or they appreciate, uh, you
know, the work. It felt like,

352
00:25:03.039 --> 00:25:06.200
uh, I don't know. Not
everybody was too excited to be out

353
00:25:06.240 --> 00:25:11.039
there at one hundred degree heat for
one new player that who knows how long

354
00:25:11.079 --> 00:25:15.839
he's gonna be here for. You're
so observant, man, I've been around

355
00:25:15.839 --> 00:25:18.160
salty baseball players a long time.
Hose. Here's what we know. It

356
00:25:18.200 --> 00:25:22.240
was their day to do it.
It happens to be a day when Nick

357
00:25:22.279 --> 00:25:26.720
Ahmed shows up, right, But
when somebody comes in like this, it's

358
00:25:26.759 --> 00:25:30.160
a less simpler now to show him
the the you know, the realms are

359
00:25:30.319 --> 00:25:33.119
what's happening in the organization. Before
it was to be like okay, first

360
00:25:33.160 --> 00:25:37.440
and third, here's the sign bunch
signed and discoverage and the wheel player,

361
00:25:37.440 --> 00:25:41.279
all those things disappear. Now on
basement's pretty much go out there and if

362
00:25:41.279 --> 00:25:44.599
you see daylight, put your hand
out. That's pretty much it. Now

363
00:25:44.640 --> 00:25:48.079
there's a combined sign between the catcher
Ahmed and the picture. Then he needs

364
00:25:48.119 --> 00:25:51.880
to be aware. Sometimes, say
you put a play on a second base

365
00:25:52.359 --> 00:25:56.359
and you tell your catcher you do
three pumps. When you put on the

366
00:25:56.680 --> 00:25:59.200
five, is the last pump you
go? In? Other words, you

367
00:25:59.240 --> 00:26:02.119
time it up with him. So
things like that happen less now than the

368
00:26:02.119 --> 00:26:06.160
easters. I was a little surprised
we didn't see more of Gavin Lux and

369
00:26:06.279 --> 00:26:11.240
nick Onhmed working as the double play
combo. I felt like that should have

370
00:26:11.279 --> 00:26:14.839
been more of a focus than doing
stuff with the pitchers. I'm not sure

371
00:26:14.880 --> 00:26:18.920
the pitchers can do their pff David, Yeah, let's costly. Sometimes they

372
00:26:18.960 --> 00:26:21.599
were going through the motions Jose.
Oh, they can't do that during the

373
00:26:21.640 --> 00:26:22.960
game because the pressure's on. Man. You gotta play catch, even at

374
00:26:22.960 --> 00:26:26.400
thirty feet, you got to play
catch. Yeah, and sometimes throwing a

375
00:26:26.480 --> 00:26:27.920
thirty feet is harder than throwing a
six, no doubt. We've seen that.

376
00:26:29.039 --> 00:26:30.319
We throw ninety five right, Yeah, yeah, thanks, Jose,

377
00:26:30.559 --> 00:26:33.880
you got it. We'll catch up. But you and Steven Nelson a little

378
00:26:33.880 --> 00:26:36.119
bit later. Hey, you want
to give us your call tonight? Right?

379

likely be best a field in insults from

398
00:28:00.640 --> 00:28:04.799
a Dodger player. It's an engagement
of endearment. This this high and tugged

399
00:28:06.599 --> 00:28:10.279
the Dodgers and Giants getting set for
first page. And I'm joined right now

400
00:28:10.599 --> 00:28:15.079
with a man that headed the Dodgers
amateur draft over the All Star break.

401
00:28:15.240 --> 00:28:18.279
He's been doing it for Andrew Friedman
ever since twenty fifteen. He's the director

402
00:28:18.559 --> 00:28:25.240
of Amateur Scouting, the one and
only great Italian American Billy Gasparino. Billy,

403
00:28:25.240 --> 00:28:27.160
thanks a lot for the time,
Appreciate it. I love the intro,

404
00:28:27.599 --> 00:28:33.119
perfect perfect. No glad to be
here and glad to always talk draft.

405
00:28:33.440 --> 00:28:37.200
Yeah, you still look very grizzled
from the draft war room. When

406
00:28:37.319 --> 00:28:40.079
was the last time you saw your
family? Well, I got a good

407
00:28:40.079 --> 00:28:42.839
weekend with him now, but it
is it's a long road to recovery.

408
00:28:44.319 --> 00:28:47.920
I start now, and I hope
I'm I'm a home ready for the playoffs.

409
00:28:47.960 --> 00:28:51.000
That's always a goal. This is
something new that I feel like still

410
00:28:51.000 --> 00:28:55.200
sneaks up on all of us,
that the Major League Baseball Amateur Draft now

411
00:28:55.599 --> 00:28:59.839
is held during All Star Week?
Is that different? Challenging? How do

412
00:28:59.880 --> 00:29:03.160
you feel about that? I don't
love it, but I've grown to accept

413
00:29:03.160 --> 00:29:07.400
it. There's definitely some pros to
it, but I think that most part

414
00:29:07.519 --> 00:29:11.400
is just it's a little too late
in the year. I think we like

415
00:29:11.480 --> 00:29:17.519
lose development time with some of these
players and which is so valuable, and

416
00:29:17.640 --> 00:29:21.039
I think it just kind of like
it starts some morph into the trade deadline

417
00:29:21.039 --> 00:29:22.759
and it just never feels like you
get a break. So there's there's more

418
00:29:22.880 --> 00:29:26.920
comms and pros, but MLB says
to do it, So we do it.

419
00:29:27.160 --> 00:29:30.720
And where did you hold the draft? Where did you make the phone

420
00:29:30.720 --> 00:29:36.319
calls to Texas? We did the
downstairs in the Dodgers Stadium club. It

421
00:29:36.359 --> 00:29:41.079
was a nice little venue. We
we had it all seated up and TechEd

422
00:29:41.119 --> 00:29:45.200
out and and it worked perfect for
us. Obviously you picked these players because

423
00:29:45.279 --> 00:29:49.480
you like what their potential may be. Is there any player that we should

424
00:29:49.519 --> 00:29:55.119
remember? Obviously you picked a shortstop
with the number one overall pick the Dodgers

425
00:29:55.160 --> 00:29:57.720
had. Yeah, I mean we
you know how it goes. We like

426
00:29:57.759 --> 00:30:03.680
all the players we took, Obviously
we did. We went a little more

427
00:30:03.720 --> 00:30:07.039
upside this year. We went high
school shortstop with our first pick and then

428
00:30:07.119 --> 00:30:11.119
high school third basement with our third
round pick. So those are two exciting

429
00:30:11.160 --> 00:30:15.200
players, huge talents, huge potential, and really a lot of work to

430
00:30:15.240 --> 00:30:19.000
be done. But we trust our
player development and we were excited to turn

431
00:30:19.039 --> 00:30:25.240
those two over maybe for the fan
base or fourth under Jacob Right, just

432
00:30:25.279 --> 00:30:29.279
because he's a cal poly kid,
a local East LA kid, we're excited

433
00:30:29.279 --> 00:30:33.640
about him. We think he's like
a talented lefty, four pitches, a

434
00:30:33.720 --> 00:30:37.640
really good breaking ball, and a
really good competitor. So I think Jacob

435
00:30:37.640 --> 00:30:41.599
Bright's probably maybe a guy for the
fans to remember and to look out for.

436
00:30:41.160 --> 00:30:45.559
Kellen Lindsey shortstop, high school shortstop. I did some homework. It

437
00:30:45.640 --> 00:30:51.039
seemed like the mock drafts were picking
you guys to take this young man.

438
00:30:51.359 --> 00:30:55.680
What intrigued you and what told you
that he has a chance. Yeah,

439
00:30:55.720 --> 00:30:57.960
the mock drafts are kind of right
this year. They we got to only

440
00:30:59.000 --> 00:31:02.599
do that for the NBA Billy.
No, we did. We liked him

441
00:31:02.599 --> 00:31:04.880
all year. I think I think
we felt fortunate. You. No,

442
00:31:04.960 --> 00:31:10.960
he didn't play last summer because he
broke his phibia and so the scouting community

443
00:31:11.000 --> 00:31:14.240
was a little late getting to him, and we just felt like, A,

444
00:31:14.440 --> 00:31:18.599
he's a great athlete. B some
of the rawness to his game.

445
00:31:18.960 --> 00:31:22.200
We really thought we was a good
thing we could develop and he could really

446
00:31:22.200 --> 00:31:25.480
push shortstop. I think his defense
is a little underrated, and he's in

447
00:31:25.720 --> 00:31:27.519
He's a top of the scale runner
for us. So that was kind of

448
00:31:27.519 --> 00:31:33.799
where the trade turner comps came.
It's not kind of like athlete runner exciting

449
00:31:33.839 --> 00:31:38.119
package. What is it about high
school players that may or may not separate

450
00:31:38.200 --> 00:31:42.119
them from a college player Because I've
heard if you're a pitcher, it's better

451
00:31:42.160 --> 00:31:45.000
to be drafted, if you're a
position player, it's better to go to

452
00:31:45.079 --> 00:31:49.160
college. How do you weigh all
that when you pick a guy like Kellen

453
00:31:49.240 --> 00:31:55.160
Lindsay who obviously hasn't grown completely into
his body. Yeah, it's hard.

454
00:31:55.240 --> 00:31:59.559
I mean a lot of it is. You know, risk versus reward and

455
00:31:59.599 --> 00:32:02.319
the college guys a little more established
and trying to figure out how they can

456
00:32:02.680 --> 00:32:06.920
what development's left or how much more
of their potentials left to get him to

457
00:32:06.920 --> 00:32:08.880
be, you know, a high
end major league player, because that's what

458
00:32:08.920 --> 00:32:12.599
it takes to be on our roster. Let's be honest, We got it

459
00:32:12.720 --> 00:32:15.960
like a high borrower of talent.
It takes a lot of It takes a

460
00:32:16.000 --> 00:32:20.599
lot of talent and work to just
play on our team. And so we're

461
00:32:20.640 --> 00:32:23.079
really conscious of that, and so
we've leaned a little bit more towards some

462
00:32:23.079 --> 00:32:28.000
more talented guy lately. And we
trust our player develpment group. We really

463
00:32:28.000 --> 00:32:30.480
think they usually get the most out
of these guys and maximize their talent,

464
00:32:30.960 --> 00:32:35.319
and it kind of has led us
to these high school kids lately. Billy

465
00:32:35.359 --> 00:32:38.599
Gasprino, the Dodgers director of amateur
Scouting, is our guest. When you

466
00:32:38.680 --> 00:32:43.839
look at what the Dodgers major league
roster looks like, when you look at

467
00:32:43.839 --> 00:32:47.839
the wealth of pitching the organization has. Does Andrew Friedman give you any direction

468
00:32:49.039 --> 00:32:52.920
on where he wants you to pick
or position he wants you to pick,

469
00:32:52.079 --> 00:33:00.000
or is that mutually exclusive? Good
question, you know Andrew is good,

470
00:33:00.000 --> 00:33:04.880
but I think he understands the draft
very well and so he definitely like is

471
00:33:04.920 --> 00:33:06.880
like, hey, go get the
right players, or go pick the best

472
00:33:06.880 --> 00:33:09.480
players. But I think he has
urged us likely to be aggressive, and

473
00:33:09.559 --> 00:33:13.519
I think part of that is like
our pitching depth, our depth in the

474
00:33:13.599 --> 00:33:16.960
minor leagues. You know, we
really feel like prospects say ten through forty

475
00:33:19.119 --> 00:33:22.960
is really high quality, and go
be more aggressive and don't feel like you

476
00:33:23.000 --> 00:33:27.759
can't make a mistake. And that's
comforty knowing this, like our situation here

477
00:33:28.640 --> 00:33:30.799
allows us to do that, and
he gives us confidence. And so what

478
00:33:30.920 --> 00:33:35.279
we did no doubt. Hey,
Billy, before I let you go,

479
00:33:35.920 --> 00:33:38.440
there's a lot of the draft picks
that you were able to select that have

480
00:33:38.559 --> 00:33:44.279
made it to the major leagues and
made their major league debuts even this season.

481
00:33:44.720 --> 00:33:50.440
How emotionally connected are you to these
players? Secretly? Probably pretty emotionally

482
00:33:50.440 --> 00:33:52.599
connected. You know. I think
you try to stay usual and I'm biased,

483
00:33:52.680 --> 00:33:57.359
but you just have You've seen where
they come from and where they are

484
00:33:57.400 --> 00:34:00.599
now, and it's just a really
special moment just to make it here.

485
00:34:00.640 --> 00:34:05.960
And just even like one pitch one
a bat is hard enough and you realize

486
00:34:06.000 --> 00:34:08.079
how far they'd come and how hard
they work, and so it's more like

487
00:34:08.199 --> 00:34:13.159
proud Dad than anything else. Yeah. Well, you're a great guy.

488
00:34:13.239 --> 00:34:16.079
The Dodgers are lucky to have you. You've been able to provide the organization

489
00:34:16.199 --> 00:34:21.039
with a lot of good young talent, and I'm sure it will continue twenty

490
00:34:21.119 --> 00:34:24.280
twenty four and beyond. Thanks a
lot for the time, and congratulations on

491
00:34:24.360 --> 00:34:29.239
getting through another draft. Thanks David, always special talking to you. I

making his twenty twenty four debut after
having Tommy John surgery last May.

508
00:35:36.639 --> 00:35:39.480
He was acquired in an offseason deal
with the Mariners. He's made ten rehab

recently five and a third score listenings,

510
00:35:44.199 --> 00:35:46.800
one hit, seven strikeouts in Triple
A. He's a fastball, slider,

511
00:35:46.960 --> 00:35:51.119
sinker pitcher. The Dodgers have faced
him a lot. In fact, he's

512
00:35:51.119 --> 00:35:53.119
made twenty one starts against the Dodgers
in his career. Remember, he pitched

513
00:35:53.119 --> 00:35:57.159
a long time in Arizona with the
Diamondbacks, and they're facing him for the

514
00:35:57.199 --> 00:35:59.760
first time, though in forty years
it's been a while since they've seen him.

515

Eight and six with a three thirty

519

Again, he's been really good going into

523
00:36:27.840 --> 00:36:30.440
the All Star break. As we
mentioned, so good he was an All

00:37:51.480 --> 00:37:52.400
All right, Tim, well,
yeah, but you one last time.

543
00:37:52.519 --> 00:37:55.760
Jose mot of the Dodgers are the
only team in baseball that haven't lost

544
00:37:55.800 --> 00:37:59.199
a game out of the All Star
Break. Well thanks to the rookies,

545
00:37:59.239 --> 00:38:02.920
right five strong. Four rookies have
done a fantastic job throwing strikes, keeping

546
00:38:02.920 --> 00:38:07.599
you in the game and allowing the
offense to even after some slow starts with

547
00:38:07.679 --> 00:38:10.280
the bad first four or five innings
at leaves they are catching up but not

548
00:38:10.440 --> 00:38:14.760
looking up four or five runs down. So give it to the youngsters,

549
00:38:14.840 --> 00:38:19.679
not afraid of filling his own and
also incorporating great secondary pitches. And on

550
00:38:19.800 --> 00:38:23.199
top of all of this is they're
not rushing through the bathroom. They're using

551
00:38:23.239 --> 00:38:27.719
the clock so ideally because they're letting
the clock die when they need to.

552
00:38:27.760 --> 00:38:30.760
But also they're spinning up some guys
and that's part of the strategy that right

553
00:38:30.800 --> 00:38:32.559
now is missing in baseball where guys
are not paying attention to that. But

554
00:38:32.960 --> 00:38:36.039
it's been a key piece, especially
with a guy like Gavin Stone. But

555
00:38:36.079 --> 00:38:38.039
I think the world guys are paying
attention as a Dodger ball club, as

556
00:38:38.039 --> 00:38:42.199
a young pitchers because they've experienced it
also in the minor leagues. So the

557
00:38:42.239 --> 00:38:45.800
Dodgers rolling out of the break and
you see the counter getting close to August,

558
00:38:45.840 --> 00:38:49.079
and we know what the Dodgers can
do in August. But it is

559
00:38:49.119 --> 00:38:52.519
great to see them, especially after
what happened before the break and how they

560
00:38:52.599 --> 00:38:57.719
limped into it, that they came
out with emotions riding high and the ViBe's

561
00:38:57.719 --> 00:39:00.880
reset. What are your expectations for
Tyler Glass now tonight? And it threw

562
00:39:00.880 --> 00:39:05.280
a sin game last Friday about fifty
seven pitches, so you can't imagine he's

563
00:39:05.360 --> 00:39:09.199
going to go super deep into this
game unless he's really efficient. What are

564
00:39:09.280 --> 00:39:15.199
you expecting tonight from Glass? I
expect him to go six innings and go

565
00:39:15.360 --> 00:39:17.920
ninety plus pitches. Remember Tyler Glass, now we look at his year with

566
00:39:19.000 --> 00:39:22.800
a double digit strikeouts, He's still
been super economical even when he strikes a

567
00:39:22.800 --> 00:39:24.519
lot of people out. Because he
throws a lot of strikes. I don't

568
00:39:24.519 --> 00:39:28.480
think the layoff was long enough to
get him off the track when it comes

569
00:39:28.519 --> 00:39:31.320
out to pitch capacity or quantity.
And I do expect him to say,

570
00:39:31.599 --> 00:39:35.639
this is what they signed me for, this is what I'm here for.

571
00:39:35.880 --> 00:39:37.599
I got trailed here for this reason. I'm think who's going to take charge

572
00:39:37.599 --> 00:39:42.400
here? Last one, I want
you to talk about signing up the Dodgers

573
00:39:42.400 --> 00:39:45.440
had to sign somebody new today and
he's in the starting lineup. That's a

574
00:39:45.480 --> 00:39:50.400
former Giant, Nick Ahmed, the
longtime Arizona Diamondback shortstop, and Meg Rojas

575
00:39:50.719 --> 00:39:53.599
put on the injured list by the
Dodgers and Ahmed now added to the team.

576
00:39:53.719 --> 00:39:57.639
Goal glover, catch the ball,
throw the ball, be a leader

577
00:39:57.719 --> 00:40:00.320
as he has done over in Arizona, and just put the ball in play.

578
00:40:00.360 --> 00:40:02.519
That's all. Nothing else attend.
You know what that means. If

579
00:40:02.519 --> 00:40:07.039
you're into a revenge series, maybe
we see a revenge night for Nick Ahmed

580
00:40:07.360 --> 00:40:10.559
as he's starting at shortstop, batting
ninth for the Dodgers against his old club.

581
00:40:10.840 --> 00:40:15.239
It's Tyler Glass now and Robbie Ray. It's Game three of the Dodgers

582
00:40:15.239 --> 00:40:19.719
and Giants that we look forward to. It all right. Padres already won

583
00:40:19.920 --> 00:40:22.840
in Washington, DC. They made
the Nationals twelve to three. Padres have

584
00:40:22.880 --> 00:40:28.039
won four in a row despite playing
five hundred baseball over the last ten game.

585
00:40:28.159 --> 00:40:30.880
So the Dodgers currently as we speak, an eight game lead over the

586
00:40:30.880 --> 00:40:36.320
Padres. As far as the Arizona
Diambacks are concerned, they are now right

587
00:40:36.360 --> 00:40:39.559
now losing in Kansas City four to
three. That game, though still in

588
00:40:39.599 --> 00:40:44.480
the seventh inning, So winn Todnight
for the Dodgers. They maintain their eight

589
00:40:44.519 --> 00:40:46.840
and a half game lead over the
Padres and possibly picking up a game on

590
00:40:46.920 --> 00:40:51.880
the Arizona Diamondbacks the Giants. They
start the night thirteen gears back in the

591
00:40:51.880 --> 00:40:55.000
division. First pitch when we come
back, Tyler Glass, now, welcome

592
00:40:55.039 --> 00:40:59.159
back from the IL. The All
Star will take them out when we return.
