4

atop the NL West with a five
and a half game lead in the division.

5
00:00:22.679 --> 00:00:26.000
Well after getting swept in Cincinnati over
the week, and the Dodgers now

6
00:00:26.120 --> 00:00:29.879
look to get the sweep and the
Big Apple against the Mets. James Paxton

7
00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:33.640
on the mound in the series finale. First pitch from City Field is coming

8
00:00:33.719 --> 00:00:36.479
up at one ten. Between then

Dodgers on Deck, we'll hear from the

Lux. We'll dive deeper into this

00:00:48.719 --> 00:00:52.200
of the day. We'll get you

16
00:01:00.759 --> 00:01:04.599
the Gallpin Motors broadcast booth. And
here from Rick Monday and Tim never Well.

17
00:01:04.680 --> 00:01:08.560
Yesterday in New York, the Dodgers
ended their losing streak by beating the

18
00:01:08.599 --> 00:01:12.280
Mets not once, but twice in
a double header. Game one, Tyler

19
00:01:12.280 --> 00:01:15.319
Glasnow, with seven innings, was
in line to get the loss before the

20
00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:19.480
Dodgers scored a running the eighth,
the tie run the ninth, and in

21
00:01:19.599 --> 00:01:22.480
the tenth Freddy Freeman at two run
home run part of a three run inning

22
00:01:22.680 --> 00:01:26.680
as the Dodgers came all the way
back to beat the Mets yesterday five to

23
00:01:26.719 --> 00:01:30.200
two in Game one. In the
second game of the double hitterer Kevin Stone

24
00:01:30.239 --> 00:01:34.159
pitched a gym seven shutout innings.
He scattered just three hits along the way

25
00:01:34.200 --> 00:01:37.959
while striking out seven and not walking
a single batter. The Dodgers backs,

26
00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:42.239
meanwhile, appeared to have woken up
after the game one win. Will Smith

27
00:01:42.439 --> 00:01:45.959
got it all started in the first
with a blast of left two one pitch,

28
00:01:46.400 --> 00:01:49.560
swinging in a drive to left field. Nemo going back. He's at

29
00:01:49.560 --> 00:01:53.239
the track, he looks up.
It's gone a home run. Will Smith

30
00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:57.079
starts it off for the Dodgers tonight
second batter of the game, and Smith,

31
00:01:57.120 --> 00:02:00.799
with his seventh home run of the
year, is one to nothing Dodgers

32
00:02:01.159 --> 00:02:06.959
solo home run for a Will number
seven on this season. As the Dodgers

33
00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:09.680
took the early one to nothing lead
in the second, Miguel Rojas it won

34
00:02:09.719 --> 00:02:14.280
deep to center off the wall.
Andy pot has scored all the way from

35
00:02:14.360 --> 00:02:16.560
first and the Dodgers took a two
to nothing lead over the Mets. Then

36
00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:21.120
in the sixth, the Dodgers with
a key insurance run coming off the bat

37
00:02:21.199 --> 00:02:25.919
of Miguel Vargas. Marcus was doing
a really nice job at Triple A and

38
00:02:27.080 --> 00:02:30.080
he swings an he hammers went down
the left field line and is hooking toward

39
00:02:30.159 --> 00:02:34.479
the corner. It's gone a home
run, a line drive home run for

40
00:02:34.639 --> 00:02:40.439
Miguel Vargas and the Dodgers lead it
three to nothing. His first home run

41
00:02:40.479 --> 00:02:46.840
of twenty twenty four boy, and
he hit a rope down the line.

42
00:02:46.120 --> 00:02:51.520
Miguel Vargas with a shot down the
left field line a couple rows up into

43
00:02:51.560 --> 00:02:54.319
the bleachers, his firsts in the
big leagues this season. Dodgers a three

44
00:02:54.360 --> 00:02:58.960
to nothing lead Gavin Stone with the
seven shutout innings. Alex Vessi got the

45
00:02:58.960 --> 00:03:02.479
final six outs for his second save
as the Dodgers finish off the Mets three

46
00:03:02.520 --> 00:03:07.759
to nothing to win both games of
the doubleheader. Dodgers now thirty five and

47
00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:10.400
twenty two. They look to get
the sweep in New York this afternoon as

48
00:03:10.439 --> 00:03:15.759
they wrap up their six game East
Coast road trip the Big Maple James Paxton

49
00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:19.560
on the mound in the series finale
and with more, let's head out to

50
00:03:19.599 --> 00:03:23.199
the Galpum Motors broadcast booth as we
say good afternoon to Rick Monday and Tim

51
00:03:23.240 --> 00:03:28.080
Never guys, Tim, thanks again. A little bit overcast here in Queen's

52
00:03:28.120 --> 00:03:31.520
over City Field, but we've got
a good afternoon for baseball for sure,

53
00:03:31.520 --> 00:03:35.800
as the Dodgers and the New York
Mets gets set to wrap up this three

54
00:03:35.879 --> 00:03:38.280
game series. Two of the three
played yesterday, the Dodgers sweeping the double

55
00:03:38.319 --> 00:03:43.319
header Game one, coming from behind
in the ninth to tie it and winning

56
00:03:43.400 --> 00:03:46.240
it in the tenth, and then
the score there five to two, and

57
00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:49.960
in Game two, three to nothing, a shutout. Gavin Stone was simply

58
00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:54.360
incredible on the mounth seven shutout innings, his best outing as a major leaguer.

59
00:03:54.599 --> 00:04:00.080
Today it's James Paxton at five and
zero going against David Peter Peterson making

60
00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:05.280
his season debut coming off of hip
surgery in the offseason, and a little

61
00:04:05.280 --> 00:04:10.240
different look in the lineup today Mo
in the infield, Mookie Betts moving over

62
00:04:10.280 --> 00:04:14.439
to second base and Miguel Rojas over
to short. They were flip flopped yesterday.

63
00:04:14.800 --> 00:04:17.199
Is kind of weird because ten twelve
days ago, Dave Robers's ass,

64
00:04:17.279 --> 00:04:19.920
Hey, look are the interchange book
parts there, and whill you think about

65
00:04:19.920 --> 00:04:25.160
moving Mookie Betts back over to a
second base at Rojas's short And he said,

66
00:04:25.240 --> 00:04:28.120
no, that's not really in the
plans. Well, sometimes the plans

67
00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:31.319
they change, and according to the
Dodgers, so this is going to be

68
00:04:31.360 --> 00:04:35.160
one of those days where they do
change. And for Mookie Betts, I

69
00:04:35.240 --> 00:04:41.279
get the feeling to him that he
just really accepts the challenge of playing different

70
00:04:41.279 --> 00:04:45.279
positions, different perspective. So the
Dodgers kind of load up on the left

71
00:04:45.279 --> 00:04:47.720
side of the infield because over third
again today is going to be Kick a

72
00:04:47.800 --> 00:04:55.120
Hernandez and the defense I think also
had a play really over the last couple

73
00:04:55.120 --> 00:04:59.079
of games, very well, no, really outstanding plays you talk about,

74
00:04:59.199 --> 00:05:02.439
but very can insistent defensive plays and
that plays very large. Well. The

75
00:05:02.480 --> 00:05:06.199
Dodgers have had a lot of success
here at City Field over the last several

76
00:05:06.240 --> 00:05:11.759
years. They've won eighteen of the
last twenty two games here. The Mets

77
00:05:11.800 --> 00:05:14.759
are scratching their heads when the Dodgers
come out, well, I scratch your

78
00:05:14.800 --> 00:05:18.920
heads a lot. Yesterday, the
New York Mets did not have one single

79
00:05:19.000 --> 00:05:24.160
hit with the runner in scoring position
in either one of the games yesterday,

80
00:05:24.399 --> 00:05:28.079
and in the second game they did
not have one at batt with a runner

81
00:05:28.120 --> 00:05:31.160
in scoring position. In back yesterday
they did not have one runner even breach

82
00:05:31.399 --> 00:05:35.959
second base, So it might be
a different strategy for New York. We'll

83
00:05:35.959 --> 00:05:39.800
talk about the pitching a little bit
later on, because they may have something

84
00:05:39.839 --> 00:05:44.399
in mind against James Paxton the way
he pitches. But if the Dodgers pitching

85
00:05:44.439 --> 00:05:48.079
goes the same way in game today
as they have the previous two against the

86
00:05:48.079 --> 00:05:51.399
Mets, new York's in trouble.
One more note, offensively, good to

87
00:05:51.399 --> 00:05:56.480
see Freddy Freeman heating up here in
this series. He's five for eight with

88
00:05:56.519 --> 00:06:00.199
a home run and three runs.
Banded yah Will Smith is the benefactor that

89
00:06:00.279 --> 00:06:04.000
because Will Smith has more plate appearances
with runners in scoring position than any other

90
00:06:04.079 --> 00:06:10.560
hitter in Major League Baseball stands the
reason you're following bets o'tani and Freeman and

91
00:06:10.639 --> 00:06:14.000
Will Smith back in there. He'll
do the catching. Ti Oscar her Nanas

92
00:06:14.079 --> 00:06:16.959
is in right, Andy Pajes again
is in Centerive we mentioned Kiky Hernanis will

93
00:06:17.000 --> 00:06:23.199
be at third base, mcguil Rohass
starts at shortstop, and Miguel Vargas is

94
00:06:23.240 --> 00:06:27.079
going to be the starting left field. Dodgers are thirty five and twenty two,

95
00:06:27.199 --> 00:06:30.759
thirteen games above five hundred meantime,
the match twenty two and thirty two,

96
00:06:30.920 --> 00:06:35.959
ten games underwater, James Paxton against
David Peterson. That's the pitching matchup

97
00:06:36.399 --> 00:06:40.759
as we get set for the third
game of this three game series in New

98
00:06:40.839 --> 00:06:43.000

118
00:08:09.199 --> 00:08:11.839
of the double hitter and the Dodgers

119
00:08:11.879 --> 00:08:16.480
He went zero for five in the
first game yesterday and the Dodgers five to

120
00:08:16.519 --> 00:08:18.839

innings. He struck out twice. Otania

125
00:08:35.759 --> 00:08:43.000
This is Kirston's corner with Kirston Watson. Hey Kirston now joint system city

126
00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:46.679
feel for before the final game of
this three game series. Kirston Dodgers win

127
00:08:46.720 --> 00:08:50.559
both games with the double header yesterday. They had lost five in a row

128
00:08:50.639 --> 00:08:56.279
going into the yesterday's games. Funny
how winning cures everything. It really does,

129
00:08:56.360 --> 00:09:00.759
between winning and I receizing maybe like
even New York City. Just the

130
00:09:00.799 --> 00:09:03.279
excitement of the city gives you a
little boost. But you're right, yesterday

131
00:09:03.399 --> 00:09:05.759
they were able to get things going, and you know, as much as

132
00:09:05.759 --> 00:09:09.320
that first game they were playing from
behind and late in the game, and

133
00:09:09.360 --> 00:09:11.120
they were all to be able to
tie in the night and then wanted extra.

134
00:09:11.639 --> 00:09:15.919
When Daniel Hudson's on the mound faces
loaded getting out of that, you

135
00:09:16.080 --> 00:09:20.559
literally could feel the momentum shift in
the stadium and just amongst the team and

136
00:09:20.679 --> 00:09:22.720
the dugout. He literally silenced the
audience, so you got to see that

137
00:09:22.879 --> 00:09:26.080
as well. But it was just
kind of a moment where the guys are

138
00:09:26.159 --> 00:09:30.399
like, we're good. You know, even though some of them were laughing

139
00:09:30.399 --> 00:09:33.159
in the little high five line that
those were the hardest high five they have

140
00:09:33.240 --> 00:09:35.480
felt in a while, Like there
was kind of this pent up energy to

141
00:09:35.480 --> 00:09:39.080
get this team going again. And
then going into game two of the doubleheader,

142
00:09:39.320 --> 00:09:43.399
they continued, I mean will Smith
getting that home run early in the

143
00:09:43.480 --> 00:09:46.159
game, badding second things like that. It just was a continuation of some

144
00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:50.279
of that momentum and energy they were
feeling from the end of Game one.

145
00:09:50.679 --> 00:09:52.440
And so Daves was even saying,
your Spen's laughing. You know, they

146
00:09:52.480 --> 00:09:56.960
knew you know, two wins and
have you sleeping better at nighttime? Things

147
00:09:56.039 --> 00:10:01.240
feel different, And so the hope
is now just see that offense and really,

148
00:10:01.279 --> 00:10:05.279
I mean the pitching was fantastic,
but seeing that now carry over into

149
00:10:05.440 --> 00:10:07.600
today's games. So hopefully they can
do just that. Yeah, hopefully they

150
00:10:07.600 --> 00:10:11.559
can build on those two wins.
Yesterday, looking at the lineup, I

151
00:10:11.559 --> 00:10:13.120
had to scratch my eyes. I
know I'm not tired, but does this

152
00:10:13.200 --> 00:10:18.440
a second base next to Mookie Bets? Yeah, exactly. And so you

153
00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:22.240
know, when Mookie, he's already
talked about when he comes to the infield,

154
00:10:22.240 --> 00:10:24.840
it's a little bit easier, you
know, as he's around his body

155
00:10:24.919 --> 00:10:28.559
things like that. So of course
he had talked about earlier this season that

156
00:10:28.639 --> 00:10:31.080
he wanted to be, you know, that every day short stuff, and

157
00:10:31.120 --> 00:10:33.679
they said that that he was going
to do just that. That is continuing

158
00:10:33.720 --> 00:10:37.759
the plan. But when he moved
the second essentially like an off day,

159
00:10:37.919 --> 00:10:39.759
you know, it keeps him in
the line of it keeps his back going,

160
00:10:41.120 --> 00:10:45.519
but it gives him away to kind
of just take a step back defensively,

161
00:10:45.720 --> 00:10:48.159
not necessarily like performance wise, but
just kind of mentally physically, because

162
00:10:48.159 --> 00:10:52.639
obviously playing short is very demanding,
so they're looking at it as really just

163
00:10:52.759 --> 00:10:58.080
an off dag. It's Miguel Rojas
that his true position, and then with

164
00:10:58.159 --> 00:11:01.519
also having a leftie on the mound, the thought is that he might get

165
00:11:01.559 --> 00:11:03.360
some more go River as well.
So you know, we'll kind of see

166
00:11:03.360 --> 00:11:07.600
how it really plays out, but
it really is just a way to kind

167
00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:11.519
of give Luky a little bit of
rest while while being out there and still

168
00:11:11.559 --> 00:11:15.519
being locked in, if that makes
sense. No doubt about hoping the Dodgers

169
00:11:15.519 --> 00:11:18.159
can win this game today in this
road trip on a high note and head

170
00:11:18.200 --> 00:11:22.080
back home for avery three game series
this weekend against the Rockies. Kirsten,

171
00:11:22.159 --> 00:11:24.720
we appreciate it. We'll hear from
you after the game still to come here.

172
00:11:24.799 --> 00:11:28.840
I'm Maronggo Casino Dodgers on deck,
will dive deeper to this pitching match

173
00:11:28.919 --> 00:11:31.200
up. David Vats goes one on
one with Gavin Lux. But up next

174
00:11:31.240 --> 00:11:35.320
we'll get you more of an injury
report and we'll hear from the manager Dave

175
00:11:35.399 --> 00:11:37.960
Roberts. So we're leaning up to
Dodgers and Mats from Cityfield on this Wednesday,

176
00:11:39.080 --> 00:11:43.240
first pitcher one ten. I'm Tim

Injury Report presented by UCLA Healthy Official
medical partner the Los Angeles Dodgers. Max

182
00:12:15.600 --> 00:12:18.679
Munsey on the IL with the oblique
strain. He is not swinging a bat.

183
00:12:18.720 --> 00:12:22.360
He is over in Arizona at Camelback
Rans trying to strengthen his oblique to

184
00:12:22.399 --> 00:12:26.480
get better and hopefully start that process
of coming back. Speaking of coming back,

185
00:12:26.679 --> 00:12:31.559
Evan Phillips is David vat State report
yesterday is close to coming back from

186
00:12:31.559 --> 00:12:35.919
his hamstring strain. He had a
minor league rehabit assignment in Rancho Cucamunga.

187
00:12:35.960 --> 00:12:39.519
If everything checks out okay, he
is going to return this weekend. Fingers

188
00:12:39.559 --> 00:12:41.720
crossed. Joe Kelly on the IL
with the shoulder strain. Ryan Brazier on

189
00:12:41.759 --> 00:12:46.159
the IL. Bobby Miller working his
way back from right shouldered inflammation. He

190
00:12:46.200 --> 00:12:50.320
pitched three innings on Sunday at Rancho
Kucamunga, Clayton Kershaw, Bruce dar Garad

to May All in the sixty day il

192
00:12:52.720 --> 00:12:56.039
image she had done for the year
after having Tommy John surgery. Let's head

193
00:12:56.039 --> 00:12:58.559
back out to New York and check
in with the Dodger Skipper. Anything else

194
00:12:58.559 --> 00:13:03.120
with do you think questions for Dave? Dave? Can you just describe Dave?

195
00:13:03.200 --> 00:13:09.799
Can you talk about the pressure in
the dugouts with Dave Robberts. I

196
00:13:09.840 --> 00:13:18.679
think just continue to be aggressive in
our zone. I thought yesterday certainly there

197
00:13:18.720 --> 00:13:24.759
were some good things that happened offensively, and you know, Peterson coming back

198
00:13:26.120 --> 00:13:30.759
from his rehab and some guys have
some familiarity with them. But I think

199
00:13:30.759 --> 00:13:35.679
for us, just kind of being
aggressive in our zones and creating some stress

200
00:13:35.720 --> 00:13:39.559
some traffic. I think that we've
seen everyone in their bullpen, so to

201
00:13:39.559 --> 00:13:41.440
get to their bullpen would be a
good thing. Did you think that just

202
00:13:41.480 --> 00:13:45.720
with Yeser's performance, it did have
the ability to really unlock some things kind

203
00:13:45.759 --> 00:13:48.480
up for the offense. Just kind
of feeling that everyone was having the excitement,

204
00:13:48.480 --> 00:13:52.480
implementum you like that can really do
something just to get you guys back

205
00:13:52.480 --> 00:13:54.639
going again. I think so,
I think, you know, everyone,

206
00:13:56.639 --> 00:14:01.080
I think in the lineup today,
there was some things that we saw,

207
00:14:01.159 --> 00:14:07.000
some positives, and so I think
that, you know, from Vargas to

208
00:14:07.000 --> 00:14:13.639
to Showhay to everyone, I think
in between something to build on for today

209
00:14:13.879 --> 00:14:16.840
and you know, we can kind
of salvage this road trip. So it's

210
00:14:16.919 --> 00:14:22.039
it's a game that for me,
it's a you know, a highly highly

211
00:14:22.080 --> 00:14:26.240
vo motivated to win this game.
Yeah, Mooki at second base today?

212
00:14:26.279 --> 00:14:28.960
Is that what you described as load
management day? It is? It is

213
00:14:30.679 --> 00:14:35.000
I think that you know, running
him out there essentially every day to get

214
00:14:35.080 --> 00:14:37.919
him on the other side of the
diamond, essentially, as Mooki puts it,

215
00:14:37.960 --> 00:14:43.200
almost like an off day. And
so you expect a lot of work

216
00:14:43.240 --> 00:14:46.200
on the left side of the diamond
with James pitching, and so I feel,

217
00:14:46.320 --> 00:14:50.320
you know, you can run Mooki
out there and get Miggy back at

218
00:14:50.360 --> 00:14:52.960
his normal position, feel good about
it. It doesn't seem like he's dialed

219
00:14:54.039 --> 00:14:56.639
back, like the pregame working shorts
them that much. Again, Like,

220
00:14:56.720 --> 00:15:00.799
is that something that you guys think
of find kind of eats into this and

221
00:15:01.360 --> 00:15:05.480
leaning less time being is that like
he's going to handle, you know,

222
00:15:05.519 --> 00:15:07.919
all those burdens, he's even going
to carry so hard, you know.

223
00:15:07.000 --> 00:15:13.080
I think the thing is is that
that will happen. I don't know if

224
00:15:13.120 --> 00:15:20.120
it's going to happen in June or
July. It will happen, but I

225
00:15:20.159 --> 00:15:24.240
think it's just more for for us
just leaving it to him that whenever he

226
00:15:24.320 --> 00:15:30.960
feels the confidence that he can kind
of manage his prep work at that point

227
00:15:30.960 --> 00:15:33.960
in time, he will. But
I just trust him in the sense that

228
00:15:33.000 --> 00:15:35.559
he knows what it takes a good
ready for Again. All right, there's

229
00:15:35.600 --> 00:15:39.519
Dave Roberts talking about Mookie Betts and
his workload before the game even starts,

230
00:15:39.519 --> 00:15:43.639
and maybe to dial that back a
little bit as the season goes on.

231
00:15:43.080 --> 00:15:46.399
Down the Dugout with Dave Roberts brought
to you by Service Titan. Dave Roberts

Kates on Dodgers on Deck. I accept

244
00:16:38.919 --> 00:16:45.200
everybody for who they are. This
is Dodger insider David Basse. All right,

245
00:16:45.279 --> 00:16:47.720
DV, you should have a wild
day for the Dodgers. Snapped that

246
00:16:47.799 --> 00:16:49.840
five game losing streak. They win
a game in ten innings, look like

247
00:16:49.879 --> 00:16:52.279
a jump start the offense. In
Game two they go on and get the

248
00:16:52.320 --> 00:16:56.200
shutout win. But that game one
was really cool to see trying in in

249
00:16:56.279 --> 00:17:00.919
Hudson do what they did late in
the game in a extra innings. Yeah,

250
00:17:00.000 --> 00:17:04.960
especially Daniel Hudson who got himself into
a bases loaded jam with one out

251
00:17:06.319 --> 00:17:10.119
and found a way to recalibrate and
get the Dodgers out of it, and

252
00:17:10.200 --> 00:17:15.160
then put his fingers over his lips
to hush the crowd at City Field.

253
00:17:15.319 --> 00:17:18.960
And I got to tell you,
Tim, the team loved it. The

254
00:17:19.000 --> 00:17:22.559
team love what he said when he
got back to the dugout. When he

255
00:17:22.599 --> 00:17:26.680
got back there, they asked him, why were you doing that, and

256
00:17:26.720 --> 00:17:30.880
he said, we had to remind
people we are still the Dodgers. And

257
00:17:30.920 --> 00:17:36.319
that's one part of this season so
far that we really haven't seen where the

258
00:17:36.400 --> 00:17:41.319
Dodgers don't really have that alpha on
their team and they don't show a lot

259
00:17:41.359 --> 00:17:45.359
of bravado in those type of situations. And there's a way to do it

260
00:17:45.400 --> 00:17:52.720
like Daniel Hudson did yesterday. And
that's why I've likened him for the pitching

261
00:17:52.759 --> 00:17:56.039
staff and for the team. Similar
to Chase Uttley. He has that quiet

262
00:17:56.160 --> 00:18:02.920
toughness and experience and showed it yesterday. And then Blake Trenton, who picked

263
00:18:02.960 --> 00:18:07.400
up the safe first of the season, yes, but his first save since

264
00:18:07.480 --> 00:18:14.920
September twenty eighth, twenty twenty one, and that was at Coursefield. Excuse

265
00:18:14.920 --> 00:18:19.160
me, September of twenty September twenty
third of twenty twenty one at Corsefield.

266
00:18:19.359 --> 00:18:23.039
And I told Blake about that,
and he said, when was that save

267
00:18:23.119 --> 00:18:27.720
in twenty twenty one? So I
just pulled out my phone brought up the

268
00:18:27.759 --> 00:18:33.759
game logs from that season. And
you know what's remarkable is he remembered it

269
00:18:33.920 --> 00:18:37.160
exactly. He remembered where he was, he remembered the pitchers mound in that

270
00:18:37.319 --> 00:18:41.480
ninth inning was not great at Corsefield, and Corey Seeger came to the mound

271
00:18:41.759 --> 00:18:45.480
and demanded the ground screw to come
up and fix the mound, and he

272
00:18:45.519 --> 00:18:48.920
said, I remember that I got
double play ground ball. Trevor's story was

273
00:18:48.920 --> 00:18:53.680
on base. So a pretty special
day for two veterans who certainly have had

274
00:18:53.720 --> 00:18:56.880
a long list of injuries to come
back this year. That is awesome.

275
00:18:56.960 --> 00:19:00.640
David is driven by the Ford F
Series, America's best truck for forty seven

276
00:19:00.720 --> 00:19:04.799
years and counting Ford. He gives
you the freedom of choice gas hybrid electric.

277
00:19:04.920 --> 00:19:10.039
Head to your southern California Ford dealers
and find yours Ford M Series built

278
00:19:10.559 --> 00:19:15.240
tough Well Trining's been well. The
Dodgers certainly like DaLie Hudson the back end

279
00:19:15.279 --> 00:19:21.519
their bullpen, Evan Phillips DV close
to Returney maybe yes. And I even

280
00:19:21.599 --> 00:19:26.799
let Dave Roberts know that Evan Phillips
was clocked by scouts in attendance at Retro

281
00:19:26.920 --> 00:19:30.839
Cucamonga last night, hitting ninety five
to ninety six miles an hour on their

282
00:19:30.880 --> 00:19:34.960
fastball. And I did get a
text from a rival scout that said he

283
00:19:36.039 --> 00:19:41.839
looks healthy. So Dave Roberts is
going to double down, and he told

284
00:19:41.920 --> 00:19:45.960
us that, yeah, if Evan
Phillips bounced back today and tomorrow, he

285
00:19:45.079 --> 00:19:49.640
will be activated Fridays. So then
all of a sudden you have Evan Phillips

286
00:19:49.680 --> 00:19:55.720
to Blake Trinan and Daniel Hudson and
Alex Vesia. It feels like the bullpen

287
00:19:55.839 --> 00:19:59.680
is that much longer. Miguel Vargas
hit his first home run in the Big

288
00:19:59.720 --> 00:20:03.640
League this season DV. Last year, he started a second base at the

289
00:20:03.680 --> 00:20:06.559
All Star point, got sent down, never came back, started the year

290
00:20:06.559 --> 00:20:10.279
in TRIAA, caught fire the last
couple of weeks before being recalled. Great

291
00:20:10.319 --> 00:20:15.559
to see him back and producing.
It really is. And the first day

292
00:20:15.599 --> 00:20:18.559
we got to City Field. We
at that point in time did not know

293
00:20:19.240 --> 00:20:23.799
that the game was rained out,
and his locker was right next to Andy

294
00:20:23.880 --> 00:20:30.200
Pajez in the back corner of the
Dodgers visiting clubhouse here in New York,

295
00:20:30.599 --> 00:20:33.559
and they were both wrapping their bats, and he knew he was going to

296
00:20:33.640 --> 00:20:38.359
start that Friday night here at City
Field, or excuse me, when the

297
00:20:38.400 --> 00:20:44.039
Dodgers got here to City Field for
the first game before it was rained out,

298
00:20:44.039 --> 00:20:45.839
whatever day it was, Tim,
he was looking forward to starting.

299
00:20:47.240 --> 00:20:51.039
Once we got word that it was
rained out yesterday. I asked him,

300
00:20:51.039 --> 00:20:52.960
Hey, you're gonna play? He
said, I don't know yet. I

301
00:20:52.000 --> 00:20:56.119
don't know if I'm in there.
So he wasn't in there for Game one,

302
00:20:56.160 --> 00:20:59.119
but he was in there for Game
two. So he was super eager

303
00:20:59.519 --> 00:21:03.119
to be able to get back in
there because he's only played in four games

304
00:21:03.119 --> 00:21:07.799
and only has ten at bats today
back out there in left field, so

305
00:21:07.839 --> 00:21:11.839
hopefully he can build upon yesterday,
no doubt about that. Great to see

306
00:21:11.880 --> 00:21:14.599
him back in producing DV Is it, Tim? I don't know what day

307
00:21:14.599 --> 00:21:15.920

my phone. Today's Wednesday, the twenty

June twenty four, twenty eighteen,
the Dodgers playing host of the New York

329
00:22:51.680 --> 00:22:55.240

Dodgers that day hit not one, not

330
00:22:55.359 --> 00:22:57.200
two, not three, not four, not five, not six, but

331
00:22:57.359 --> 00:23:02.960
seven solo home runs. Turner came
into the game and he's been to bat

332
00:23:03.000 --> 00:23:07.960
once and he took a call third
strike and Turner the fly ball the left

field. It's on its way and
it is gone a home run justin.

Massey, here's LA Dodgers broadcast there
and World Series champion Dodger Rick Monday.

351
00:24:34.799 --> 00:24:40.559
Rick, the vibes in the Dodger
Clubhouse completely different as they were twenty four

352
00:24:40.559 --> 00:24:45.119
hours ago after sweeping a doubleheader.
You know your breakfast tastes a little bit

353
00:24:45.400 --> 00:24:48.440
better today too, didn't it.
The sun shining, Well, I can't

354
00:24:48.440 --> 00:24:52.519
say it's any brighter than it was
yesterday. But that's a good way to

355
00:24:52.519 --> 00:24:55.559
solve some problems. And it's not
that easy to win both games of a

356
00:24:55.599 --> 00:24:59.359
doubleheader. I mean, that's just
the fact if you look at things overall.

357
00:24:59.400 --> 00:25:02.519
I have no idea what the percentages
are, but I can tell you

358
00:25:02.559 --> 00:25:06.400
as a player, and having followed
this game for a month or two,

359
00:25:07.559 --> 00:25:10.559
it's not that easy to win.
Both games have been double hitter. They

360
00:25:10.559 --> 00:25:14.480
did it in very fine fashion.
It's also a little strange when you look

361
00:25:14.480 --> 00:25:18.640
at the Dodgers winning Game two of
the double dip yesterday. You know there

362
00:25:18.680 --> 00:25:23.359
was not one base hit with a
runner and scoring position in Game two by

363
00:25:23.440 --> 00:25:27.880
either team. Wow, that's amazing
because we're for eight and for the New

364
00:25:27.960 --> 00:25:32.240
York Ments they had a big ofer, and by a big ofer, i'm

365
00:25:32.240 --> 00:25:36.000
talking about they never had a runner
reach as far as second base in Game

366
00:25:36.039 --> 00:25:37.880
two. Well, Gavin Stone had
a lot to say about this. He

367
00:25:38.039 --> 00:25:41.559
did, and seven very strong and
he's no runs. You know. The

368
00:25:41.599 --> 00:25:47.359
thing was amazing too. I can't
say he really attacked the strength zone,

369
00:25:47.680 --> 00:25:52.079
but he threw strikes and in seven
innings only made eighty seven pitches and sixty

370
00:25:52.119 --> 00:25:55.599
three of those were in the strength
zone, struck out seven, did not

371
00:25:55.960 --> 00:26:00.000
walk one batter. And then Alex
Vessia came in and closed out the final

372
00:26:00.000 --> 00:26:03.799
two innings and struck out three than
in those two innings. His workload is

373
00:26:03.839 --> 00:26:07.160
a little bit higher thirty pitches over
the two innings. But for the Sodger

374
00:26:07.200 --> 00:26:11.960
Ball Club, David, I think
we now see a little bit more action

375
00:26:12.160 --> 00:26:17.079
out of the bottom third of this
Dodger lineup, and that is very good

376
00:26:17.119 --> 00:26:19.160
news. Indeed, I think we
saw an example of that in the first

377
00:26:19.160 --> 00:26:23.880
game. Rick even just getting on
somehow, some way will turn the lineup

378
00:26:23.920 --> 00:26:27.839
over to put runners in scoring position
for Mookie Betts and company. Yeah,

379
00:26:29.160 --> 00:26:32.720
and the other part too, as
we look at Will Smith again, I've

380
00:26:32.759 --> 00:26:37.119
said this a lot, but Will
Smith the number of at bats with runners

381
00:26:37.160 --> 00:26:41.359
in scoring position. He came in
to that double hitter yesterday with the highest

382
00:26:41.480 --> 00:26:47.400
total of advance played appearances with runners
in scoring position in Major League Baseball and

383
00:26:47.480 --> 00:26:49.720
stands to reason when you start to
break it down, you've got Mookie Bets

384
00:26:49.799 --> 00:26:53.799
leading off, sho Hey Otani batting
second, and Freddie Freeman hitting in the

385
00:26:53.880 --> 00:26:57.960
number three spot, and start to
think about how red hot they were to

386
00:26:59.000 --> 00:27:02.480
open up this season. They cooled
off a little bit, of particular with

387
00:27:02.559 --> 00:27:06.759
Otani, who did not play the
second game of the series. That hamstring

388
00:27:06.839 --> 00:27:10.400
is still a little bit problematic,
he says, it doesn't bother him with

389
00:27:10.400 --> 00:27:15.680
a swing. But we're not seeing
the same swing that we saw ten days

390
00:27:15.799 --> 00:27:18.960
or twelve days ago either. Well
what are we thinking, Well, we're

391
00:27:18.000 --> 00:27:21.480
seeing a swing that, first of
all, is going after a lot of

392
00:27:21.519 --> 00:27:27.599
pitches, not being as selective,
and we're seeing really some swings that you

393
00:27:27.680 --> 00:27:32.519
might say that they fall in the
category of overswinging some of them, I

394
00:27:32.559 --> 00:27:36.960
would say yes. And you know, he has an unorthodox approach anyway to

395
00:27:37.039 --> 00:27:41.920
hitting, because if you look at
him, his weight gets back on his

396
00:27:41.079 --> 00:27:47.319
right heel more than most hitters.
The only hitter I can think of in

397
00:27:47.880 --> 00:27:52.759
modern times that I can equate it
with Eat Yeah, who was on the

398
00:27:52.839 --> 00:27:56.119
move a lot. Petro hit the
ball it looked like he was on the

399
00:27:56.240 --> 00:28:00.680
run. It was an amazing hand
eye coordination and for a tom somewhat similar

400
00:28:02.279 --> 00:28:07.200
in the movement with his weight going
back really towards the first base dugout as

401
00:28:07.279 --> 00:28:11.240
he's swinging, being a left handed
down That's interesting because how does he generate

402
00:28:11.359 --> 00:28:15.319
power doing that? That's what makes
him totally unique of all the hitters I've

403
00:28:15.359 --> 00:28:19.480
ever seen. How he generates that
and how he handles the ball away.

404
00:28:19.720 --> 00:28:25.640
His average on pitches away from him
is very, very high, including with

405
00:28:25.680 --> 00:28:27.640
the power department. If we think
back the last year, I looked up

406
00:28:27.680 --> 00:28:33.480
some numbers where the pitching had success
against Otani. Last year didn't have that

407
00:28:33.559 --> 00:28:38.000
much, but theness success that they
did have pitches inside? Yeah, yeah,

408
00:28:38.160 --> 00:28:41.319
that's right out it. The problem
is from a hitter standpoint. I

409
00:28:41.359 --> 00:28:45.960
know a pitcher is thinking they may
want to come inside, maybe have trouble

410
00:28:45.960 --> 00:28:51.079
in here. But your room for
margin, your margin of air pitching inside

411
00:28:51.720 --> 00:28:56.440
is smaller than it is away.
Here's why inside I only have three or

412
00:28:56.440 --> 00:29:00.759
four inches outside. I've got the
outside corner to tomorrow if you will.

413
00:29:02.319 --> 00:29:06.359
There's a lot more room to miss
away than it is to miss inside because

414
00:29:06.359 --> 00:29:08.319
you missed too far inside you hit
the battery gets on base anyway, makes

415
00:29:08.319 --> 00:29:11.799
sense. Thanks for opening our eyes
to that. Rick, appreciate it so

416
00:29:12.039 --> 00:29:15.160
you might have a future in this
game. Well take it one day at

Mets wrapping up this three game series
at City Field, and we're joined right

435
00:30:34.680 --> 00:30:38.319
now by Dodgers second baseman Gavin Lux. Kevin, thanks a lot for the

436
00:30:38.359 --> 00:30:41.839
time, appreciate it. We've found
a corner in the clubhouse to get away

437
00:30:41.880 --> 00:30:45.519
from Walker Bueller and Austin Barnes.
Yeah, tough crowd over there, tough

438
00:30:45.559 --> 00:30:48.960
crowd. It's all right. So
hey, it feels like still with veterans

439
00:30:49.039 --> 00:30:52.160
like that, you're still the younger
brother. Yeah, no, I know,

440
00:30:52.319 --> 00:30:56.400
I've been around since twenty nineteen and
I still Yeah, we got an

441
00:30:56.440 --> 00:30:59.000
older team, so I feel like
a little kid. So what's it like

442
00:30:59.079 --> 00:31:00.720
being around these group of players?
I mean, like you said, you've

443
00:31:00.759 --> 00:31:04.480
been here since twenty nineteen, but
it feels like in a lot of ways,

444
00:31:04.519 --> 00:31:10.000
it's a new team. Yeah,
definitely, a lot of guys you

445
00:31:10.039 --> 00:31:11.559
can learn from, a lot of
you know, a couple guys that are

446
00:31:11.599 --> 00:31:15.160
probably gonna be in the Hall of
Fame one day. So, uh,

447
00:31:15.440 --> 00:31:18.640
you know, just that's always you
never stop learning. So you know,

448
00:31:18.759 --> 00:31:22.480
day to day it's been great and
even through you know, a little rough

449
00:31:22.519 --> 00:31:26.839
patch here, you know, vibes
are still good. Yeah, So it's

450
00:31:26.880 --> 00:31:30.640
just it's never it's never any learning
process. Really. Hey, it feels

451
00:31:30.680 --> 00:31:36.079
like the vibe has completely changed from
the first day you guys got to New

452
00:31:36.160 --> 00:31:38.720
York to where you're at right now. After that doubleheader sweep, Yeah,

453
00:31:38.759 --> 00:31:41.359
for sure. I mean you get
the monkey off your back a little bit,

454
00:31:41.400 --> 00:31:45.119
You get a couple of wins,
played much better baseball. But it's

455
00:31:45.160 --> 00:31:48.559
a long season, man. You
got one hundred and sixty two of these

456
00:31:48.799 --> 00:31:52.839
on top of spring and postseason,
so you're going to hit a rough patch

457
00:31:52.880 --> 00:31:55.400
and you just kind of got to
weather the storm and keep moving. But

458
00:31:55.559 --> 00:31:56.519
yeah, I mean, you get
the monkey off your back, everyone's a

459
00:31:56.559 --> 00:32:00.720
little looser, everyone's a little more
happy. So just keep trying to ride

460
00:32:00.759 --> 00:32:06.000
that wave. What's the balance of
that knowing that it's may, knowing there's

461
00:32:06.039 --> 00:32:09.359
a long season, but obviously not
getting used to losing. Yeah, for

462
00:32:09.400 --> 00:32:13.680
sure. I mean, you know, especially Dodgers and the team we have.

463
00:32:13.920 --> 00:32:16.680
I think everyone expects us to win
and compete, and we expect ourselves

464
00:32:16.720 --> 00:32:21.079
to compete and win. So you
know, when we're going through rough patches

465
00:32:21.119 --> 00:32:22.720
like that, I don't think anyone's
happy. You know, it's part of

466
00:32:22.720 --> 00:32:25.119
baseball, and you know it's gonna
happen. But at the same time,

467
00:32:25.759 --> 00:32:29.599
it sucks, and we all expect
ourselves to be better. So and I

468
00:32:29.599 --> 00:32:31.680
think so do our fans, so
does so does everybody, and you know

469
00:32:31.880 --> 00:32:37.279
too well deserved obviously with the roster
we have, so but yeah, it's

470
00:32:37.319 --> 00:32:39.039
a long season. You just got
to kind of keep chipping away and grinding

471
00:32:39.039 --> 00:32:44.160
away. Gavin Lux is our guest
here in the Big Apple at City Field.

472
00:32:44.359 --> 00:32:46.400
I got to ask you about that
first game, ninth inning, Daniel

473
00:32:46.480 --> 00:32:52.039
Hudson up to his hips and crocodiles, and you were the one that made

474
00:32:52.039 --> 00:32:55.640
the final loud catching the pop up
from Jeff McNeil. What did that say

475
00:32:55.680 --> 00:33:00.519
and how much of a lift did
that give everybody? And then the shush

476
00:33:00.759 --> 00:33:04.880
emoji man Yeah, he's a dog. He's got some big set of knots.

477
00:33:04.920 --> 00:33:07.839
Excuse my language, but yeah,
I mean he he just competes his

478
00:33:07.880 --> 00:33:10.799
ass off, and you know every
time he goes out there, he's gonna

479
00:33:10.799 --> 00:33:13.960
throw strikes, he's gonna be in
the zone. He's going to compete,

480
00:33:14.000 --> 00:33:16.599
and he's got great stuff. I
mean he's back throwing ninety eight after coming

481
00:33:16.640 --> 00:33:21.759
off of a knee surgery and he
looks as good as he ever has.

482
00:33:21.799 --> 00:33:23.119
But yeah, to shush the crowd, and then you know, he came

483
00:33:23.160 --> 00:33:27.400
in said sometimes you got to remind
him that we're the Dodgers. And I

484
00:33:27.400 --> 00:33:31.200
think that's kind of the motion energy
that we needed right there, and especially

485
00:33:31.200 --> 00:33:35.039
like we keep talking about us coming
off like a weird stretch, we were

486
00:33:35.119 --> 00:33:38.039
playing good. Him to show that
kind of emotion I think has helped us

487
00:33:38.079 --> 00:33:40.119
all and pump u up a little
bit for sure. Yeah, I feel

488
00:33:40.160 --> 00:33:45.119
like you guys need that alpha some
of that swag back totally totally, and

489
00:33:45.160 --> 00:33:46.519
I think you know, he did
it. And then to him saying to

490
00:33:46.640 --> 00:33:49.759
his credit, like, hey,
sometimes you got to like tell people,

491
00:33:49.799 --> 00:33:53.039
show people where the Dodgers, and
and a veteran like that to come in

492
00:33:53.079 --> 00:33:55.920
and do that and get out of
a huge jam like that where you know,

493
00:33:57.119 --> 00:34:00.160
easily we could have lost and him
to to to fight out of it,

494
00:34:00.279 --> 00:34:02.640
and uh, I mean, yeah, that was that was awesome.

495
00:34:02.960 --> 00:34:06.920
And then in the second game,
you guys hit two home runs, one

496
00:34:06.920 --> 00:34:10.320
of them from Miguel Vargas. As
you know, everybody's career is not linear.

497
00:34:10.559 --> 00:34:15.320
How happy were you for him?
Yeah, I mean I was pumped

498
00:34:15.400 --> 00:34:19.199
up. Uh, he's been working
hard and and he's an extremely talented hitter,

499
00:34:19.320 --> 00:34:22.239
and you know, just more at
bats. He's gonna he's gonna keep

500
00:34:22.480 --> 00:34:25.559
figuring it out. And it's it's
a tough league and and when uh,

501
00:34:25.800 --> 00:34:29.920
you know, you're you're trying to
fight for for at bats, and it's

502
00:34:30.079 --> 00:34:32.840
it can get tough. And he's
a he's a very talented player, and

503
00:34:34.480 --> 00:34:37.039
you know, he's just gonna keep
getting better and better, and people forget

504
00:34:37.039 --> 00:34:39.920
he's still only twenty four with probably
not even a full season of major league

505
00:34:39.960 --> 00:34:44.599
at bats yet, So he's gonna
keep figuring out and he's just too talented,

506
00:34:44.599 --> 00:34:47.480
not too I feel like this is
a great opportunity to remind Gavin Lux

507
00:34:47.599 --> 00:34:52.519
how good you are. Are you
starting to remind yourself that you are that

508
00:34:52.559 --> 00:34:57.119
guy. Yeah, it's you know, there's there's always ups and downs.

509
00:34:57.159 --> 00:35:01.719
Obviously the first two hundred at bats
weren't great. So just continuing to try

510
00:35:01.719 --> 00:35:06.320
to figure out where my body is
and different cues and stuff that worked for

511
00:35:06.400 --> 00:35:09.840
me that I may have forgotten about
or stuff they used to work and positions

512
00:35:09.840 --> 00:35:14.639
I would get into that I probably
can't quite get into yet, just coming

513
00:35:14.639 --> 00:35:19.039
off the surgery. So just trying
to piece it together and compete. You

514
00:35:19.039 --> 00:35:21.800
know, you grind away in the
cage and you keep working on stuff,

515
00:35:21.800 --> 00:35:23.360
and then once the game starts,
you just try to compete and help the

516
00:35:23.400 --> 00:35:27.760
team win. But yeah, I
think as the season goes you get more

517
00:35:27.760 --> 00:35:30.800
of bets. You try to figure
it out and just keep trying to piece

518
00:35:30.800 --> 00:35:32.840
it together. You are that guy. Gavin Lux. Thanks a lot for

519
00:35:32.920 --> 00:35:37.519
the time. Really appreciate it.
I'm glad Los Angeles could hear your voice

520
00:35:37.559 --> 00:35:39.719
today. I love you. Oh
yeah, my guy, the Pride of

521
00:35:39.800 --> 00:35:43.880
Kenosha, Wisconsin, Gavin Lux,
We'll send it back to you in the

525
00:35:53.920 --> 00:35:59.599
Gavin Lucks is from Kenosha, Wisconsin, still throw away from Green Bay,

526
00:36:00.119 --> 00:36:04.840
and he's not a Packers fan.
He's a Chicago Bears fan. How does

527
00:36:04.880 --> 00:36:07.840
that happen? Oh, we're all
Dodger fans as we lead you up to

528

It's the Dodgers and Mets from City
Field in New York. All right.

532
00:36:30.519 --> 00:36:36.239
Maybe Kenosha, Wisconsin is closer to
Chicago than it is actually Green Bay.

533
00:36:36.280 --> 00:36:39.440
That's why Gavin Lux is a Chicago
Bears fan. But it's all Wisconsin,

539
00:37:00.559 --> 00:37:04.360
twenty eight year old left hander,
former first round pick out of Oregon.

540
00:37:04.519 --> 00:37:07.840
He's in his fifth season in the
Big leagues, but making his first start

541
00:37:07.880 --> 00:37:13.599
this year after having a torn laborman
his left hip repaired this past offseason a

542
00:37:13.639 --> 00:37:16.280
couple of minor league rehab starts.
Today is his first outing in twenty twenty

543
00:37:16.360 --> 00:37:20.000
four. If there was a fastball, sinker, slider, a change up,

544
00:37:20.039 --> 00:37:23.519
occasionally a curveball. This is his
third start ever against the Dodgers' fourth

545
00:37:23.559 --> 00:37:29.800
appearance, He's one to zero with
a six to seventy five Rray James Paxson

546
00:37:29.880 --> 00:37:32.320
on the mound for the Dodgers five
to ozho three forty nine. Erara thirty

Maple, as they call him,
in his first season with the Dodgers,

549
00:37:38.360 --> 00:37:42.880
making his tenth start this year last
time out, four to two third innings,

550
00:37:42.880 --> 00:37:45.719
five runs, five hits, two
home runs, four strikeouts, four

551
00:37:45.800 --> 00:37:49.880
walks in a no decision against the
Reds. Fifth time in his career.

552
00:37:49.880 --> 00:37:52.519
He is facing the Mets. James
Paxson is two to one with a three

563
00:38:45.920 --> 00:38:50.480
out to the booth Rick Monday,
Tim never guys, Tim, thanks again,

564
00:38:50.519 --> 00:38:53.599
we get you ready for the first
pitch of this ballgame here this afternoon

565
00:38:53.760 --> 00:38:57.679
in New York. Final game here
in the last meeting of the season.

566
00:38:57.760 --> 00:39:01.000
Between the Dodgers and the New York
match. James Paxton is five and all

567
00:39:01.079 --> 00:39:06.280
with a three four to nine er. Left headed David Peterson making his twenty

568
00:39:06.320 --> 00:39:09.519
twenty four debut. He had laboram
surgery on his left hip in the offseason.

569
00:39:09.559 --> 00:39:13.079
It took him this long to get
ready, so on the twenty ninth

570
00:39:13.159 --> 00:39:16.079
to May he pitches in his first
game. But for Paxton, he is

571
00:39:16.119 --> 00:39:21.119
looking to remain unbeaten. Last time
out, he took a no decision against

572
00:39:21.119 --> 00:39:23.320
Cincinnati, but he allowed five runs
over four and two thirds In Yeah,

573
00:39:23.360 --> 00:39:29.159
he's been very good the first two
times through an opposing team's lineup very low

574
00:39:29.599 --> 00:39:32.719
ra very low batting average against third
time it has been a different story.

575
00:39:32.760 --> 00:39:37.400
But one thing about Paksha I mentioned
earlier about the Mets who have not hit

576
00:39:37.480 --> 00:39:40.960
well so far in this series.
Will they change their approach because Paxton first

577
00:39:42.000 --> 00:39:47.119
of all first pitch fastballs this year
seventy percent of the time. Will they

578
00:39:47.159 --> 00:39:51.280
go hunting first pitch fastball. The
other part, too, is Paxton,

579
00:39:51.719 --> 00:39:55.239
right headed hitters, elevates that fastball
and he's done it very effectively. So

580
00:39:55.440 --> 00:40:00.079
James Paxton against David Peterson. Peterson
is a guy that Freddy Freeman's taking to

581
00:40:00.119 --> 00:40:05.519
school in his career. Freddie's five
for fifteen against him with two home runs,

582
00:40:05.880 --> 00:40:08.440
so he's looking forward to seeing him
again. Miguel Rojas, they's hit

583
00:40:08.480 --> 00:40:12.199
him pretty well. Also, yeah, they've hit pretty well. But this

584
00:40:12.280 --> 00:40:15.800
is a new challenge. And for
David Peterson, you start to look last

585
00:40:15.840 --> 00:40:21.320
year twenty one starts plus six relief
appearances. But for Peterson this is a

586
00:40:21.360 --> 00:40:24.400
whole new issue and he's making his
season debut, as you mentioned earlier,

587
00:40:24.719 --> 00:40:30.000
after the hip surgery a season ago. Lineup's first pitch just around the corner.

588
00:40:30.039 --> 00:40:32.440
It's the Dodgers and the New York
Mets. Dodgers going for a three

589
00:40:32.519 --> 00:40:37.199
game sweep, looking for win number
thirty six on the season. Tim,

590
00:40:37.239 --> 00:40:39.199
Dodgers start the day with a five
and a half game lead in the division,

591
00:40:39.199 --> 00:40:43.320
looking to tack on another game with
a win today and a couple of

592
00:40:43.360 --> 00:40:45.480
losses around the NL West. Don't
forget after the game. I'll be back

593
00:40:45.480 --> 00:40:50.679
with all the postgame festivities, including
Dodger talk as well. But first pitches

594
00:40:50.760 --> 00:40:52.639
next, final game of the series, final game of the road trip,

595
