00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:08.000
And now your host form Ma Rongo
Casino Dodgers on Tech. Damn kase Hi.

2
00:00:08.080 --> 00:00:12.679
Everybody, look, come in two
more Wrongo Casino Dodgers on deck.

3
00:00:12.720 --> 00:00:18.399
I hope you're staying cool on this
hot summer afternoon in southern Calo Fornia.

4
00:00:18.519 --> 00:00:23.120
Los Angeles Dodgers fifty seven and forty
one on this season, first place atop

5
00:00:23.160 --> 00:00:27.480
the NL West. They've got a
seven game lead in the division, ahead

6
00:00:27.480 --> 00:00:31.440
of the Diamondbacks. The Dodgers went
into the All Star Break banged up.

7
00:00:31.559 --> 00:00:35.840
Last night, they started the post
All Star break with a come from behind

8
00:00:35.960 --> 00:00:39.600
win, and today they look to
make it two straight over the Boston Red

9
00:00:39.640 --> 00:00:43.560
Sox with Justin Robuski on the mound, first pitch coming up at four fifteen.

10
00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:46.560
Between then and now, we got
a lot to get to here.

11
00:00:46.560 --> 00:00:50.079
On Moronco Casino Dodgers on Deck,
we're gonna hear from the manager. Dave

12
00:00:50.159 --> 00:00:54.200
Roberts will preview this pitching matchup.
David Vaas will go one on one with

13
00:00:54.320 --> 00:00:58.799
former Dodger now the skipper on the
other side at Dodger Stadium. That's Alex

14
00:00:58.880 --> 00:01:02.719
cor that's coming up about forty five
minutes. We got your Dodgers magical moment.

15
00:01:02.759 --> 00:01:04.879
We'll get your Otani rewind in just
a few minutes. We'll check in

16
00:01:04.920 --> 00:01:10.200
with Tim Neverett and Jose Motau at
the Kalpulm Motors Broadcast booth. Well,

17
00:01:10.280 --> 00:01:12.799
last night at the Ravine, some
late inning heroics got the Dodgers to win.

18
00:01:14.159 --> 00:01:17.959
Gavin Stone got the start, and
the right hander was good five innings.

19
00:01:18.040 --> 00:01:21.400
He allowed just one run on six
hits while striking out three along the

20
00:01:21.439 --> 00:01:23.680
way. He had the lead off
batter on and three the first four innings,

21
00:01:23.719 --> 00:01:27.760
Button navigated around that each time to
put up zeros. Finally, though,

22
00:01:27.760 --> 00:01:30.599
in the fifth, the Red Sox
got on the board when Gavin Stone

23
00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:34.439
made a mistake to Jaron Durant.
A solo home run for duran out of

24
00:01:34.439 --> 00:01:38.920
Ciperus High School, his eleventh of
the season. The Red Sox grabbed a

25
00:01:38.959 --> 00:01:42.120
one to nothing lead. The Dodgers
offense meanwhile not much the first couple times

26
00:01:42.120 --> 00:01:46.879
throughout, the lineup just two hits
the first seven innings against Nick Pavetta and

27
00:01:46.879 --> 00:01:49.159
the Red Sox bullpen. In the
eighth, Ryan Yarborough on a relief for

28
00:01:49.239 --> 00:01:53.959
the Dodgers, still down one to
nothing, when the Dodgers defense got the

29
00:01:53.959 --> 00:01:59.799
stadium excited. Here's a one to
two pitch to Devers. Runner goes pitches

30
00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:02.680
going on and hit in the shadow
left. Fargas comes on to make the

31
00:02:02.799 --> 00:02:07.400
catch, pill load up and throw
it a first stretch by Freeman. He

32
00:02:07.480 --> 00:02:13.000
got him last. He has calls
him out. I wait to see what

33
00:02:13.039 --> 00:02:16.159
the Red Sox want to do.
It was bang bang at first Miguel Vargas

34
00:02:16.199 --> 00:02:20.840
with the catch and throw it on
the back pick, getting Tyler O'Neill at

35
00:02:20.840 --> 00:02:23.800
first base. A great defensive play
from Vargas to end the inning with that

36
00:02:23.879 --> 00:02:27.960
double play. And when't you know
it? Who let off the bottom of

37
00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:30.680
the eighth inny y yep. Miguel
Vargas. He got the Dodgers rally started

38
00:02:30.719 --> 00:02:34.879
with the leadoff walk. Two batters
later show heyo Tania ground rule double.

39
00:02:35.159 --> 00:02:38.280
That's when things really got interesting.
Alex Cord decided to walk Will Smith to

40
00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:44.639
load the bases with one out to
get to Freddie Freeman and the pitch and

41
00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:49.439
Freddie beltz at to right fielding deep
toward the corner Paul's backe. It's gone.

42
00:02:49.840 --> 00:02:54.120
It's the seventh career Grand Slam for
Freddie Freeman. It comes to the

43
00:02:54.159 --> 00:03:00.840
bottom of the eighth and the Dodgers
take a four to one lead. Holy

44
00:03:01.000 --> 00:03:08.280
smokes Treddie Freeman absolutely annihilated that pitch
and hit it into the Red Sox bullpen

45
00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:16.439
down the right field side, and
Freddy Freeman gets this crowded better than fifty

46
00:03:16.520 --> 00:03:21.560
one thousand on their feet. Well, that was a bad decision from Alice

47
00:03:21.639 --> 00:03:24.319
Cora. A Grand Slam for Freddie
Freeman. That's the top tier player of

48
00:03:24.360 --> 00:03:28.960
the game sponsored by Arco Quality,
top tier gast less. Freddie got the

49
00:03:29.039 --> 00:03:34.000
curtain call from the fifty two thousand
Dodger fans at Dodgers Stadium. Seventh career

50
00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:38.039
Grand Slam for Freeman, his second
this year. Dodgers with a four run

51
00:03:38.080 --> 00:03:40.639
eighth and he took a four to
one lead. The top of the ninth

52
00:03:40.639 --> 00:03:44.439
belonged to Daniel Hudson, who came
in and closed it out. Dodgers with

53
00:03:44.560 --> 00:03:46.879
a comfort behind win last night as
they take the series opener from the Red

54
00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:51.400
Sox. Dodgers now fifty seven to
forty one, they maintain a seven game

55
00:03:51.479 --> 00:03:54.039
lead in the division. After this
afternoon, game two of this three game

56
00:03:54.159 --> 00:03:59.400
series against the Red Sox. Justin
Robleski, the young leftander on the mount.

57
00:03:59.439 --> 00:04:01.599
First pitch coming up at four fifteen, and with more we head out

58
00:04:01.639 --> 00:04:06.240
to the Gallping Motors broadcast booth as
we welcome in Tim Nevert at Jose Mota.

59
00:04:06.280 --> 00:04:11.719
Guys, Thanks Tim very much.
Perfect afternoon for a ballgame here in

60
00:04:11.800 --> 00:04:16.079
late July, as the Dodgers and
Boston Red Sox get ready for interleague play.

61
00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:21.160
Boston last night had a lead until
the eighth inning, but in the

62
00:04:21.199 --> 00:04:25.959
bottom of the eighth, Alex Corr, the manager of the Dodgers, rolled

63
00:04:25.959 --> 00:04:30.480
the dice. He intentionally walked Will
Smith with runners on second and third to

64
00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:34.240
get to Freddie Freeman, and Freddie
hit his seventh career Grand Slam, his

65
00:04:34.399 --> 00:04:39.439
second Grand Slam of the season,
and gave the Dodgers a four to one

66
00:04:39.519 --> 00:04:43.920
win in Game one. So the
Dodgers start to day fifty seven and forty

67
00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:47.240
one, seven games above the Arizona
Diamondbacks and eight games ahead of the San

68
00:04:47.240 --> 00:04:51.800
Diego Padres. The Red Sox are
fifty three and forty three. They are

69
00:04:51.839 --> 00:04:56.519
five and a half behind the division
leading Orioles in the American League East,

70
00:04:56.680 --> 00:05:00.399
four and a half behind the second
place Yankees. Right now, they are

71
00:05:00.439 --> 00:05:03.279
a game up in the third wild
card spot in the American League, and

72
00:05:03.319 --> 00:05:09.519
they're a game out of the second
spot, trailing Minnesota by only a single

73
00:05:09.600 --> 00:05:13.519
game. Brian Bao, the pitcher
for the Red Sox today, is ten

74
00:05:13.560 --> 00:05:15.079
and five with a five to three
to two earned run average. He will

75
00:05:15.079 --> 00:05:19.480
oppose Justin Robleski, the left hander
zero and one with a six to three

76
00:05:19.519 --> 00:05:27.240
to oh er Jose when we talk
about Robleski, he's just really a handful

77
00:05:27.240 --> 00:05:30.279
of pitches away from having an outstanding
start to his major league career. Well,

78
00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:34.000
he's a guy that you know,
confidence is not lacking tim The stuff

79
00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:38.879
plays well, averaging so far ninety
five miles an hour out his fastball.

80
00:05:38.920 --> 00:05:41.680
He throws a sinker a little bit
lower ninety three or so. But his

81
00:05:41.759 --> 00:05:44.680
slider is a key pick for him
against right handers and against left handers.

82
00:05:44.720 --> 00:05:46.319
I think, you know, in
talking to him the last week or in

83
00:05:46.360 --> 00:05:50.040
Detroit, he said he wants to
aim more that slider to the back for

84
00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:55.199
the righting, make sure there's some
termination as they say, finish, and

85
00:05:55.279 --> 00:05:59.000
he can pronate a little bit more. But I think also they're gonna pay

86
00:05:59.040 --> 00:06:01.959
attention with him as what he's done
against lefties or what lefties have done against

87
00:06:02.000 --> 00:06:05.000
him five for ten, three extra
bases, including a home run. And

88
00:06:05.120 --> 00:06:09.920
I know he as we mentioned last
night during the broadcast, he's a couple

89
00:06:09.959 --> 00:06:13.040
of pitches away from having a very
good outing. He fills us out,

90
00:06:13.079 --> 00:06:15.399
he's not afraid of contact, and
I think overall today the lesson learning is

91
00:06:15.399 --> 00:06:19.279
hey trust that fastball which he throws. But there's a big difference also Tim

92
00:06:19.319 --> 00:06:23.399
when he's zero to one or want
to know it, he should learn that

93
00:06:23.480 --> 00:06:27.519
it plays well in every single level
of baseball as far as the offense is

94
00:06:27.560 --> 00:06:30.720
concerned. Shoeo Towny had a rough
start to the game. He's struck out

95
00:06:30.759 --> 00:06:34.519
three times before hitting a ground rule
double in the eighth inning after Miguel Vargas

96
00:06:34.560 --> 00:06:40.360
had drawn a lead off walk,
And of course Freeman's grand slamm Will Smith

97
00:06:40.680 --> 00:06:43.360
Again, if you're the manager,
you look at it after the fact.

98
00:06:43.519 --> 00:06:46.040
You're trying to set up a double
playball. But it's a pick your poison

99
00:06:46.120 --> 00:06:48.600
moment. Do you take Smith as
one of the better hitters in the game

100
00:06:48.920 --> 00:06:51.360
or Freeman, who's one of the
better hitters in the Will Smith three h

101
00:06:51.439 --> 00:06:55.360
two men in scoring position ALC Troy's
watching it and saying, well, we're

102
00:06:55.360 --> 00:06:59.240
playing modern baseball where I'm going to
be asked about it regardless of what happens.

103
00:06:59.720 --> 00:07:01.600
Well, your pitcher needs to make
a better pitch. That's the bottom

104
00:07:01.639 --> 00:07:04.040
line right there where you know but
I do it did not make a good

105
00:07:04.040 --> 00:07:08.040
pitch, and Freddie took advantage of
it. And Freddy had been making some

106
00:07:08.040 --> 00:07:11.199
good pass us through the baseball before
that. When he lined out a couple

107
00:07:11.240 --> 00:07:15.040
of times in deep left field,
his body was aligning well enough to know

108
00:07:15.120 --> 00:07:17.480
that if he stayed back and was
able to ease those hands. We saw

109
00:07:17.519 --> 00:07:20.879
the result. What happened, Another
grand Slam for Freddy and obviously for a

110
00:07:20.920 --> 00:07:26.279
Dodger team that was thirsting so much
for Bruns fifteen and a third without scoring,

111
00:07:26.319 --> 00:07:28.240
well, that was one big blouse. But it was also set up

112
00:07:28.240 --> 00:07:31.720
by the bottom of that lineup too. Justin Roblaski against Brian Bao today.

113
00:07:31.759 --> 00:07:36.839
That's the pitching matchup from this afternoon
game at Dodger Stadium. Tim all right,

114
00:07:36.879 --> 00:07:40.279
thank you guys, as we count
you down to first pitch on this

128
00:08:41.519 --> 00:08:48.080
rewide, so he's ready from the
left side and Al Bernardino's pitch show.

129
00:08:48.120 --> 00:08:50.279
Hey, swing, shit's up down
on the left field side. It is

130
00:08:50.360 --> 00:08:54.360
slicing toward the line, and that
ball's gotta be fair, and that's gonna

131
00:08:54.360 --> 00:08:58.919
bounce out A play for a ground
rule double, Show hey, o'tani with

132
00:08:58.960 --> 00:09:05.080
a ground rule double that hit just
inside the line, right where the grass

133
00:09:05.080 --> 00:09:09.879
and the track meet. I mean
it was inches fair, so my fielder

134
00:09:09.879 --> 00:09:13.679
O'Neil could not get to it,
and then it took a left turn and

135
00:09:13.799 --> 00:09:16.679
jumped up over the wall into the
seats. Hey ground rule double for show

136

night, getting the Dodgers rally going part

Freddie Freeman, who connected on a
grand slam, his second of the season,

147
00:10:00.879 --> 00:10:03.840

when Alex Kora held up four fingers to

151
00:10:16.840 --> 00:10:18.960
walk Will Smith? I was excited, and you kind of live for those

152
00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:22.919
situations. Do you want to be
up in those situations? So when you

153
00:10:22.919 --> 00:10:26.279
get the opportunity to try and potentially
win a game for your team, that's

154
00:10:24.960 --> 00:10:28.200
all you can care about. I
was just trying to hit a fly ball,

155
00:10:28.200 --> 00:10:31.039
and hit a fly ball in the
fense. You do pretty good against

156
00:10:31.120 --> 00:10:35.000
lefties, Freddy. You saw that
hanging curveball, did your eyes light up?

157
00:10:35.120 --> 00:10:37.480
No? I mean I fell on
the o secret. I took a

158
00:10:37.480 --> 00:10:41.240
really good swing out of so I
was feeling good the previous two at bats.

159
00:10:41.240 --> 00:10:43.159
I was able to stay on ballding
him in the left field, so

160
00:10:43.039 --> 00:10:46.159
even though I got out, there's
little wins in certain situations that helped build

161
00:10:46.159 --> 00:10:50.200
confidence for later down the road.
And after I took the swing, I

162
00:10:50.200 --> 00:10:52.399
felt good on that swing, and
I felt like I was in a good

163
00:10:52.399 --> 00:10:54.480
spot to be able to hit what
I needed to hit in the zone,

164
00:10:54.519 --> 00:10:56.120
and I got one on the zone
and hit it. I'm sure you felt

165
00:10:56.120 --> 00:11:01.960
the excitement in the stadium and in
your could you feel how big of a

166
00:11:01.039 --> 00:11:05.120
lift you gave your teams? Yeah? You know, first seven eggs,

167
00:11:05.159 --> 00:11:07.759
a little bit of a grind.
Not many hits me through out there,

168
00:11:07.799 --> 00:11:11.440
but Gavin pitch grade are bullpen was
unbelievable. So uh, when you get

169
00:11:11.440 --> 00:11:13.279
those situations, you got to try
and come through and more times a night.

170
00:11:13.279 --> 00:11:16.600
If you get a good Fitch hit, sometimes you get the hits.

171
00:11:16.720 --> 00:11:20.039
How did you feel about that curtain
call? It is nice when you've got

172
00:11:20.039 --> 00:11:24.039
fifty four thousand people on their feet, can your name prior to the bat

173
00:11:24.039 --> 00:11:26.519
and then after, I mean something
could happened? So uh, pretty cool.

174
00:11:26.759 --> 00:11:31.000
Glad to be back. Nice four
days off started off with a win.

175
00:11:31.320 --> 00:11:33.720
Thanks a lot for stopping Freddy.
Great job tonight, Ors, I

Will Smith. But I'm next. We'll

201
00:13:22.200 --> 00:13:24.639
for Dave? Dave, can you
just describe Dave? Can you talk about

202
00:13:24.679 --> 00:13:33.240
the pressure in the dugouts with Dave
Roberts. Dave Tomorrow, your former teammate,

203
00:13:33.279 --> 00:13:35.799
Adrian Beltray is going to be inducted
into the Hall of Fame. Saw

204
00:13:35.879 --> 00:13:39.799
you out there with Alix. You
guys are all teammates. So what are

205
00:13:39.799 --> 00:13:43.039
your feelings about Adrian and what do
you remember the most about you guys playing

206
00:13:43.039 --> 00:13:48.799
here together? Man, there's first
off, Yeah, I'm just so excited

207
00:13:48.840 --> 00:13:56.440
for Adrian and his family. Quite
the accomplishment, no brainer, first ballot

208
00:13:56.440 --> 00:14:00.279
Hall of Famer. My first year
was with him in two thousand two,

209
00:14:01.080 --> 00:14:03.600
and he was a guy that just
loved to play the game baseball, loved

210
00:14:03.639 --> 00:14:11.000
to compete, came in fresh,
positive every day. Probably the best defender

211
00:14:11.000 --> 00:14:15.919
at third base that I've ever seen. Remember in two thousand and four,

212
00:14:15.960 --> 00:14:20.519
he is basically playing on one leg
and ended up hitting a bunch of homers

213
00:14:20.559 --> 00:14:24.200
and playing gold Glove defense and obviously
had a tremendous career. But you know,

214
00:14:24.240 --> 00:14:28.360
one of my favorite people and favorite
teammates of all time. And I

215
00:14:28.399 --> 00:14:33.679
wish I could be there at the
induction, but I'll be watching, and

216
00:14:33.720 --> 00:14:37.240
it's just it's really cool now for
me to now start to see people get

217
00:14:37.240 --> 00:14:41.120
into the Hall of fame that I
played with, and so that's that's pretty

218
00:14:41.279 --> 00:14:46.679
special to me. How does it
looking as far as you're pitching rotation after

219
00:14:46.879 --> 00:14:52.879
tomorrow? After tomorrow, I think
it's you know, Knack's going to be

220
00:14:52.879 --> 00:15:00.000
in there. I'm not sure which
day, you know, Clayton. Clayon

221
00:15:00.279 --> 00:15:03.399
had a good one yesterday and so
we're going to kind of finalize things and

222
00:15:03.679 --> 00:15:07.080
we'll make a decision today on whether
he's going to join us next week or

223
00:15:07.080 --> 00:15:13.440
not. I know that Tyler,
we're looking forward to him being back in

224
00:15:13.440 --> 00:15:18.000
the rotation on Thursday, so that's
a good thing. So yeah, packs

225
00:15:18.080 --> 00:15:22.080
is going to go tomorrow, and
uh yeah, I think we're just going

226
00:15:22.159 --> 00:15:24.639
to kind of stay status quo.
But Wednesday is going to be interesting,

227
00:15:24.759 --> 00:15:28.720
you know. You know, talking
to Clayton, he feels good coming out

228
00:15:28.759 --> 00:15:35.120
of it, So hopefully we can
pencil him in on on Wednesday. Sure,

229
00:15:35.039 --> 00:15:39.039
you know what, Mike, I
didn't hear. I haven't seen him

230
00:15:39.080 --> 00:15:46.200
today, but I just I'm assuming
that it's all going well and I expect

231
00:15:46.279 --> 00:15:48.200
him to start swinging about here in
the next couple of days. All Right,

232
00:15:48.200 --> 00:15:52.360
there's Dave Robers down the dugout giving
us an update on what the rotation

233
00:15:52.639 --> 00:15:54.519
is sort of going to look like
for this giant series brought to you by

234
00:15:54.559 --> 00:15:58.320
Service Titan. Dave Roberts a Titan
in his own right, and he's got

235
00:15:58.320 --> 00:16:00.960
a plan before his team. It's
the field. You need one for your

236
00:16:00.000 --> 00:16:04.039
growing contracting business too. Let's Service
Titan help you implement it. Learn more

we continue here on Dodgers on Deck,

238
00:16:07.480 --> 00:16:11.240
we'll check in with David Vasse get
more of an update on Clayton Kershaw and

239
00:16:11.240 --> 00:16:15.159
when he could be returning to this
Dodger rotation, and we're getting closer and

240
00:16:15.200 --> 00:16:18.320
closer to the trade deadline. Dave
got more on that. They're leading you

241
00:16:18.360 --> 00:16:22.720
up to first pitch on this Saturday
afternoon Dodgers in Red Sox on the ravine.

242
00:16:22.840 --> 00:16:30.120
I'm Tim Kates's Los Angeles Dodgers Audio
Network. This is Marongo Casino,

243
00:16:30.279 --> 00:16:38.679
Dodgers on dep on your home for
the Blue all season long. Dodgers in

244
00:16:38.759 --> 00:16:42.759
Red Sox from Dodger Stadium. First
pitch coming up at four fifteen. Justin

245
00:16:42.799 --> 00:16:47.080
we're Bleski and Brian Bao. The
pitching matchup coming up. We'll dive deeper

246
00:16:47.120 --> 00:16:52.919
into this pitching matchup. We'll hear
from Alex Gorb, but first joining Tim

247
00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:56.720
Kates on Dodgers on deck. I
accept everybody for who they are. This

248
00:16:56.279 --> 00:17:02.240
is Dodger insider David Basse. All
right, DV. We heard you ask

249
00:17:02.720 --> 00:17:07.039
Dave Roberts about his pitching plans but
didn't get too much clarity. Let's go

250
00:17:07.119 --> 00:17:08.279
on with Clayton Kershaw. As far
as the plan, are we going to

251
00:17:08.319 --> 00:17:12.440
see him soon? Well? I
had a chance to talk to Kershaw today

252
00:17:12.559 --> 00:17:17.440
and he said, Hey, I'm
ready to go. I could probably give

253
00:17:17.559 --> 00:17:22.000
seventy five to eighty pitches. And
that's what he said after last night's start.

254
00:17:22.039 --> 00:17:25.839
And you know what I told Kershaw
was, you feel like you might

255
00:17:25.839 --> 00:17:30.200
be putting the bullpen at, you
know, in some sort of vulnerable position

256
00:17:30.759 --> 00:17:34.119
by only being able to pitch four
or five innings. It feels like that's

257
00:17:34.160 --> 00:17:38.240
what's going on now anyway, So
why not it be you go out there

258
00:17:38.440 --> 00:17:42.640
and give the Dodgers as much as
he can for as long as you can.

259
00:17:44.079 --> 00:17:45.960
And it feels like they're leaning that
way. You heard what Dave Roberts

260
00:17:47.000 --> 00:17:49.640
had to say. They just have
not made it official. And you know,

261
00:17:49.880 --> 00:17:56.400
around two o'clock this afternoon, my
understanding was the Dodgers had not made

262
00:17:56.400 --> 00:18:00.000
a decision on whether or not Kershaw
was going to pitch, but if he'd

263
00:18:00.000 --> 00:18:03.839
he does pitch, tim it would
be on five days rest, on Thursday

264
00:18:03.880 --> 00:18:07.680
afternoon against the Giants, So you
could try to hedge your bets and be

265
00:18:07.799 --> 00:18:11.920
here for a day game when Kershaw
comes back and just in case. All

266
00:18:12.000 --> 00:18:15.759
right, so Kershaw maybe Glass Now
we expect to come off the il land

267
00:18:15.799 --> 00:18:19.279
and neck. We certainly expect to
see against the Giants in that four game

268
00:18:19.319 --> 00:18:23.240
series. That's three starters for four
games. Who could pitch the fourth one?

269
00:18:23.319 --> 00:18:29.279
Dv Well. There were reports before
the All Star break that the Dodgers

270
00:18:29.359 --> 00:18:33.599
were going to call up another one
of their minor league pitching prospects, River

271
00:18:33.799 --> 00:18:38.119
Ryan. River Ryan, who did
not pitch in spring training at all.

272
00:18:38.559 --> 00:18:44.440
Looks like he will be starting one
of the first two games against the Giants

273
00:18:44.880 --> 00:18:48.920
Monday or Tuesday night. River Ryan, as Dave Roberts said earlier today,

274
00:18:49.319 --> 00:18:56.799
is quote looming in Arizona, so
he's just an hour's southwest flight away from

275
00:18:56.839 --> 00:19:00.599
Dodgers stadiums. David is driven by
four. It's the one thing we like

276
00:19:00.680 --> 00:19:03.720
his choices. Find yours with the
fort f one to fifty gas hybrid or

277
00:19:03.799 --> 00:19:10.160
all electric tough This mark can only
be called f one fifty red Sox in

278
00:19:10.240 --> 00:19:14.000
town. That means Kelly Jansen back
home TV. Oh, not just Kenley

279
00:19:14.079 --> 00:19:18.799
Jansen, the all time Dodgers saves
leader ken Lee Jansen with three hundred and

280
00:19:18.839 --> 00:19:23.599
fifty saves. The Dodgers do not
want to see this, but Kenley Jansen's

281
00:19:23.640 --> 00:19:29.799
next save will be his four hundred
and fortieth career save. He would join

282
00:19:29.920 --> 00:19:34.799
Craig Kimberl in that category to be
one of five pitchers in baseball history to

283
00:19:34.960 --> 00:19:40.519
have at least four hundred and forty
saves. And ken Ley has told me

284
00:19:40.640 --> 00:19:45.759
repeatedly that a one day he would
love to finish his career with the Dodgers,

285
00:19:45.799 --> 00:19:51.799
and b he has his site set
on five hundred saves, so those

286
00:19:51.839 --> 00:19:55.720
two things can go together. Ken
Lee is a free agent at the end

287
00:19:55.759 --> 00:19:59.079
of this year, and there has
been rumors out of Boston, even with

288
00:19:59.200 --> 00:20:03.359
them being a game ahead holding on
to that final wildcard spot in the American

289
00:20:03.480 --> 00:20:08.680
League, they may consider trading Kenley
Janssen if they can improve their team in

290
00:20:08.720 --> 00:20:12.000
other areas. Interesting something to keep
an eye on. We'll get it into

291
00:20:12.039 --> 00:20:15.920
more trade talk on postgame day.
Appreciate it. We'll check back at you

292
00:20:15.920 --> 00:20:18.519
in just a couple of minutes.
Here on Morocco Casino Dodgers on Deck,

293
00:20:18.599 --> 00:20:22.440
we'll hear from the manager Alice Korra
from the Boston Red Sox that is coming

294
00:20:22.519 --> 00:20:25.960
up in about fifteen minutes. We'll
dive deeper to this pitch matchup. But

up next your Dodgers Magical Moment.
Yeah, leading you up to Dodgers and

296

297
00:20:34.240 --> 00:20:41.799
I'm Tim Kasis, Los Angeles Dodgers
Audio Network. As we were saying

298
00:20:42.279 --> 00:20:48.839

305
00:21:26.519 --> 00:21:29.599

306
00:21:29.640 --> 00:21:33.720
the third inning on a Jock Peterson's
solo home run, and then in the

00:21:33.799 --> 00:21:37.119
eighth inning, with two outs,
ken Lee Jansen gave up a solo home

308
00:21:37.240 --> 00:21:41.400
run to Jackie Bradley Junior to tie
the game at one. It was the

309
00:21:41.480 --> 00:21:47.599
first blown save in four opportunities that
postseason for ken Lee Janson. So the

310
00:21:47.640 --> 00:21:52.400
game went to extra innings. Both
teams scored in the thirteenth, so the

311
00:21:52.480 --> 00:21:56.160
game continued to the fourteenth, the
fifteenth inning, the sixteenth inning, the

312
00:21:56.359 --> 00:22:00.599
seventeenth inning, Well passed seven hours
into this game. They went to the

313

eighteenth inning. In the top half
of the inning, the Red Sox failed

314
00:22:03.799 --> 00:22:07.119
to score. Game was tied at
two. In the bottom of the eighteenth

315
00:22:07.119 --> 00:22:15.079

and two five ball left center field.

316

the longest World Series game in history has

317
00:22:22.279 --> 00:22:27.279
come to an end a mighty blast
by Max Monsey. The Dodgers are back

318
00:22:27.359 --> 00:22:32.480
from the dead. They win it
three to two. They moved back to

319
00:22:32.559 --> 00:22:38.599
within two games to one in the
twenty eighteen World Series. An historic game

320
00:22:38.799 --> 00:22:47.160
at Dodger Stadium and Monsey is being
pummeled at the plate. Max Monty with

321
00:22:47.279 --> 00:22:49.799
the walk off home run on Nason
Valdi in the bottom half of the eighteenth

322
00:22:49.839 --> 00:22:53.720
inning to Dodger Stadium to give the
Dodgers a three to two win cut the

323
00:22:53.759 --> 00:22:57.000
series deficit to two to one.
That was the seventh inning of relief.

in the Captain's chair with Tim Neverett. Jose, beautiful Saturday afternoon at Dodgers

344
00:24:30.799 --> 00:24:34.279
Stadium. Love baseball like this team
with a nice win last night. I

345
00:24:34.279 --> 00:24:37.519
mean there's a great vibe around here. And as we mentioned in yesterday.

346
00:24:38.039 --> 00:24:41.920
This is the second season in your
season in which guys talk about the separation

347
00:24:42.039 --> 00:24:48.279
that happens between contending teams and teams
that obviously are just looking up. Jose

348
00:24:48.480 --> 00:24:52.519
Taska Hernandez is up on Dodger Vision
right now. I did not ask you

349
00:24:52.559 --> 00:24:56.519
about this yesterday, but I did
ask Dino Evil about this, because,

350
00:24:56.599 --> 00:25:02.039
as you know, Dino ebl through
to Vladimir Gueriro to win the seven home

351
00:25:02.119 --> 00:25:06.359
run Derby and then he threw to
Taoscar he won the home run derby.

352
00:25:06.759 --> 00:25:11.119
You know Vladdie and his family really
well, what did you think when you

353
00:25:11.160 --> 00:25:17.319
saw Vladimir Guerrero Junior wearing ta Oscar's
jersey during the derby? I was not

354
00:25:17.400 --> 00:25:22.000
surprised at all because he's two to
this day, talk almost every single day,

355
00:25:22.920 --> 00:25:26.039
and I'm going, well, whose
idea was this? I mean?

356
00:25:26.839 --> 00:25:30.759
And Bladdy Jr. Is a guy
that's you know, he keeps very simple,

357
00:25:30.839 --> 00:25:34.799
a very tight close circle of friends. And when I heard about to

358
00:25:34.880 --> 00:25:37.839
Oscar one of the All Star Game, I'm like, oh my god,

359
00:25:37.960 --> 00:25:40.839
RENI, it's gonna beautiful. Never
expected that I was going to see him

360
00:25:40.880 --> 00:25:45.200
worrying Hernandez jersey with Toronto and obviously
it brings out some great memories for them.

361
00:25:45.480 --> 00:25:48.400
Yeah. I guess when you're two
Dominicans in Canada, you kind of

362
00:25:48.400 --> 00:25:52.359
gravitate towards each other, you do. And that team was so close,

363
00:25:52.400 --> 00:25:56.759
with so many great players and I
mean good young players, and the expectations

364
00:25:56.240 --> 00:26:00.559
and also the fact that to Oscar
ben fited a lot from another thing from

365
00:26:00.599 --> 00:26:04.920
the Guerreros, the food from Grandma
come on, So it's like that tie

366
00:26:06.039 --> 00:26:10.359
is always going to be there between
Grandma Guerrero cooking for the anybody that wanted

367
00:26:10.359 --> 00:26:12.359
to eat. I mean, asked
Mickeyatra about it. And then obviously the

368
00:26:12.400 --> 00:26:15.799
Meinican issue is even tighter, so
it's pretty special. Yeah, I asked.

369
00:26:15.880 --> 00:26:18.880
Dave Roberts and Alex Corus going to
join us a little bit later.

370
00:26:18.920 --> 00:26:23.240
They were both teammates with Adrian Beltray
when he broke into the big leagues.

371
00:26:23.720 --> 00:26:29.440
Going into the Hall of Fame tomorrow. Your dad, Manny obviously was close

372
00:26:29.480 --> 00:26:33.160
to Adrian as you were as well. What's the motive family thoughts? As

373
00:26:33.200 --> 00:26:38.559
Adrian Beltray is inducted into Cooperstown,
We're so proud of him because we saw

374
00:26:38.640 --> 00:26:44.680
him come up as a fifteen year
old get signed by the Dodgers. It's

375
00:26:44.759 --> 00:26:48.319
almost the Cloria free agent, which
we know why, But then to watch

376
00:26:48.400 --> 00:26:55.640
him go through the struggles of getting
to the big leagues and people saying this

377
00:26:55.720 --> 00:26:57.440
is the guy that, this is
the guy that you put on the expectations

378
00:26:57.480 --> 00:27:00.839
up. Yeah, it was him. And I remember that after his debut

379
00:27:02.160 --> 00:27:04.519
during that at that during during that
game, he told me he had to

380
00:27:04.559 --> 00:27:10.200
run to the bathroom so often because
he goes. I was shaken. I

381
00:27:10.200 --> 00:27:14.359
didn't know what my body was reacting
to. But the whole Dodger Stadium thing

382
00:27:14.359 --> 00:27:17.359
in the fans is just a little
bit too much for me. But we

383
00:27:17.480 --> 00:27:21.599
consider who he became. And when
I think Adrian Beltri, I think about

384
00:27:22.079 --> 00:27:26.720
grit the guy would play on one
leg, the guy played with no cup

385
00:27:26.720 --> 00:27:30.079
at third base. Yeah that's right, which just crazy too. The thing

386
00:27:30.039 --> 00:27:33.079
and then a guy that wanted to
play every single day became one of the

387
00:27:33.079 --> 00:27:38.240
best leaders ever. And I think
to this day my former team regrets not

388
00:27:38.279 --> 00:27:45.400
signing him because they're very close.
And I recall those conversations and negotiations and

389
00:27:45.400 --> 00:27:48.599
ol Frederick Griffin down to the Minicore
Republic saying we almost got him, We

390
00:27:48.599 --> 00:27:51.359
almost, And then all of a
sudden like he's gone to Texas, like

391
00:27:51.440 --> 00:27:55.759
oh my god, and but boy, he in Texas became something that it

392
00:27:55.799 --> 00:27:57.519
was like the time was right with
Elvis Andrews and the group of players that

393
00:27:57.559 --> 00:28:04.200
came along. But Adrian too,
after seasons in Seattle, went to Boston

394
00:28:04.279 --> 00:28:07.000
to say, you let me go
out to reclaim this and get back to

395
00:28:07.319 --> 00:28:11.119
people can see who I am again. And boy, did you do it

396
00:28:11.200 --> 00:28:12.799
right? Not surprising at all because
he took a lot of pride, a

397
00:28:12.799 --> 00:28:15.839
lot of work. And my dad
would tell me, remember in spring training

398
00:28:17.079 --> 00:28:18.880
when I will talk to him,
goes, hey, this kid Belcher,

399
00:28:18.880 --> 00:28:23.039
we have wait till you watch him
throw from from the low three quarters of

400
00:28:23.039 --> 00:28:29.079
first base. It's a laser to
first base. Accurate and a fun guy

401
00:28:29.160 --> 00:28:30.960
too, but kind of a dry
sense of humor. But man, one

402
00:28:32.000 --> 00:28:34.519
time they caught him dancing the dugout
and put up a big screen to remember

403
00:28:34.559 --> 00:28:37.880
that and it was over. It's
like, Okay, you're funny, so

404
00:28:38.000 --> 00:28:41.480
you need to bring that a little
bit more, and he eventually did.

405
00:28:41.680 --> 00:28:45.200
Yeah. So great for Adrian Beltray, the full circle from double A San

406
00:28:45.200 --> 00:28:49.440
Antonio when he got called up to
Cooperstown, New York tomorrow to be inducted.

407
00:28:49.720 --> 00:28:52.640

those memories. We'll catch up with

So find the right doctor at CCHLA dot

426
00:30:12.000 --> 00:30:17.920
org. David, and now what
will likely be vass a fielding insults from

427
00:30:17.960 --> 00:30:22.160
a Dodger player. It's an engagement
of endearment. This is high end tuched.

428
00:30:22.039 --> 00:30:26.440
We're joined right now by a man
that is a world champion player,

429
00:30:26.559 --> 00:30:30.359
a world champion manager, but his
roots are right here at Dodgers Stadium.

430
00:30:30.640 --> 00:30:37.160
He and Adrian Beltray made their major
League debuts the same season back in nineteen

431
00:30:37.240 --> 00:30:40.920
ninety eight. And that is the
one and only Alex Cora. Alex,

432
00:30:41.079 --> 00:30:42.920
it was great to see you in
Boston last year, but it's even more

433
00:30:42.960 --> 00:30:47.480
special to have you back at Dodger
Stadium. It is it is an uh

434
00:30:48.079 --> 00:30:52.000
in a more relaxing environment instead of
October, right like I wasn't able to

435
00:30:52.200 --> 00:30:59.640
enjoy Dodger Stadium in seventeen and eighteen
now because of you know, every game

436
00:30:59.720 --> 00:31:03.079
can and you know they're in their
situation. We're in the same spot.

437
00:31:03.160 --> 00:31:07.319
But to be able to say hi
to people, look around and you know,

438
00:31:07.519 --> 00:31:11.880
enjoy this beautiful facility is awesome.
What's the biggest takeaway from your years

439
00:31:11.880 --> 00:31:15.559
with the Dodgers to make you who
you are now? One of the most

440
00:31:15.640 --> 00:31:22.279
respected managers in baseball? I keep
telling people that, and it's a lot

441
00:31:22.319 --> 00:31:26.240
different now in player development. I
still remember when I got to Vera Beach

442
00:31:26.759 --> 00:31:30.960
after I signed to our mini camp. I think we were two days away

443
00:31:32.000 --> 00:31:37.720
from sending people to Great Falls,
Montana or Yakimai. I think it is

444
00:31:37.799 --> 00:31:44.160
right. And then people stayed there
and in Verro the Dodger way was real.

445
00:31:44.960 --> 00:31:48.119
From the way you dress, the
way you act, the way you

446
00:31:48.200 --> 00:31:56.000
perform, it was second to none. And I'm the person that I am

447
00:31:56.519 --> 00:32:00.240
because of that. You know,
they really helped me understand what professional baseball

448
00:32:01.440 --> 00:32:05.599
was all about, or what it's
all about. Yeah, I had a

449
00:32:05.640 --> 00:32:08.440
good idea because Joey, you know, he was an established Big leaguer,

450
00:32:08.519 --> 00:32:15.440
but so being taught the right way
was amazing. I don't know if you

451
00:32:15.519 --> 00:32:19.119
heard, Like a month and a
half ago, we had a meeting with

452
00:32:19.279 --> 00:32:23.799
veterans. One of them was Kenley, and we felt like the young players

453
00:32:24.160 --> 00:32:31.000
were getting sloppy dressing up right for
road trips. And you know, Kenley

454
00:32:31.119 --> 00:32:35.640
was telling me stories about the way
they treated him and the things that they

455
00:32:35.640 --> 00:32:38.680
did to him just to be a
big leaguer. Chase Anderson, who has

456
00:32:38.720 --> 00:32:42.799
a lot of experience, we talk
about it, and we came to a

457
00:32:42.799 --> 00:32:49.720
conclusion that on day day games,
getaway days, we're gonna were sports coach.

458
00:32:50.279 --> 00:32:53.200
And we started doing it. And
he reminded me of you know,

459
00:32:53.279 --> 00:32:59.839
Sannton and Texas. You know,
collar shirt sports coach slacks on the road.

460
00:33:00.039 --> 00:33:04.319
And it's not that that makes you
a better big leaguer or a better

461
00:33:04.319 --> 00:33:09.240
player, but I think it gives
the profession the professionalism that it deserves,

462
00:33:09.279 --> 00:33:14.839
you know, And that's something that
I wouldn't try for anything. You know,

463
00:33:15.240 --> 00:33:17.720
The Dodger Way was right. The
Dodger Way was the right right way

464
00:33:17.720 --> 00:33:21.759
to doing it. And I'm proud
of you know, consider myself, you

465
00:33:21.799 --> 00:33:27.640
know, a homegrown Dodger player.
You consider yourself because you are. Alex

466
00:33:27.720 --> 00:33:32.240
Cora is our guest and your former
teammate, Adrian Beltray is going into the

467
00:33:32.279 --> 00:33:37.039
Hall of Fame. He's being inducted
tomorrow. Can you believe it? Number

468
00:33:37.119 --> 00:33:40.759
one? And number two? Did
you see this career arc happening when you

469
00:33:40.839 --> 00:33:45.640
guys were teammates all the way from
ninety eight to four. I didn't see

470
00:33:45.680 --> 00:33:51.279
it in the beginning, But you
know, after his last season here,

471
00:33:52.000 --> 00:33:55.119
he went to Seattle, right,
wasn't great. Then he came to Boston

472
00:33:55.279 --> 00:34:01.039
and something clicked there. Right,
I think the spotlight, you know,

473
00:34:01.440 --> 00:34:07.279
was shining on him, and he
put a great season. Obviously, it

474
00:34:07.319 --> 00:34:13.079
didn't work out business business wise,
and I know there's a lot of people

475
00:34:13.280 --> 00:34:16.880
in the organization in the city that
regret that. But then in Texas he

476
00:34:16.960 --> 00:34:22.559
became the leader that he is,
right and just the way he goes about

477
00:34:22.559 --> 00:34:24.599
his business. If you look at
his career, and this is something I

478
00:34:24.679 --> 00:34:30.880
keep talking to people about Raffie Devers. Right when Beltray was here in ninety

479
00:34:30.880 --> 00:34:36.679
eight, ninety nine, whatever,
the thing that he had was upside offensively

480
00:34:37.119 --> 00:34:40.719
and he was posting he posts right. He played same thing with Raffi defensively,

481
00:34:42.360 --> 00:34:45.719
Belly became one of the best defenders
ever at third base. But early

482
00:34:45.760 --> 00:34:50.559
on it wasn't great. I think
he made like twenty nine errors. He

483
00:34:50.599 --> 00:34:52.920
averaged like twenty five errors his first
three seasons, just like Raffi right,

484
00:34:53.000 --> 00:35:01.440
like erratic, making bad decisions.
And he he decided to find structure in

485
00:35:01.440 --> 00:35:06.800
his defensive work. I do believe
that we help him out. You know,

486
00:35:07.760 --> 00:35:12.880
his stories of myself and Robin probably
one of the best defensive infielders in

487
00:35:13.480 --> 00:35:19.119
the history of the Dodgers. And
there was this sense of pride, you

488
00:35:19.159 --> 00:35:23.159
know, like not in a bad
way, because sometimes we confuse pride with

489
00:35:23.280 --> 00:35:29.239
being selfish. With Belly, he
was pride about posting every day, playing

490
00:35:29.280 --> 00:35:35.000
hard every day, winning every day, and being a Dodger the right way.

491
00:35:35.079 --> 00:35:37.920
And I mean, the guy is
amazing. I was joking with Mike

492
00:35:37.960 --> 00:35:44.119
Fiori today this morning. He looks
better than what he looked when he got

493
00:35:44.119 --> 00:35:46.000
called up in nineteen ninety eight.
He looks younger and stronger. I don't

494
00:35:46.039 --> 00:35:50.519
know how that happens, and I'm
very proud of him. We learn a

495
00:35:50.519 --> 00:35:55.039
lot from him. I know he
learned a lot about from the people around

496
00:35:55.079 --> 00:36:00.559
him, from Mary Carras to Sean
Gren, who I think was the one

497
00:36:00.559 --> 00:36:06.679
that gave him the keys to unlock
the offensive potential because they started playing games

498
00:36:06.719 --> 00:36:09.880
in VP right the opposite field homers, remember, Yeah. And there was

499
00:36:09.920 --> 00:36:15.119
a lot of money involved too,
he and Luduca and Greene. But I

500
00:36:15.119 --> 00:36:17.760
think it helped him to become the
hitter that he became. And I'm very

501
00:36:17.760 --> 00:36:22.320
proud of him. Man. So
I guess Alex Cora is not surprised that

502
00:36:22.400 --> 00:36:25.239
Sean green texted me from Cooperstown.
He is going to be there. Not

503
00:36:25.360 --> 00:36:34.440
surprised was Greenie was kind of like
the guy that basically took us under his

504
00:36:34.519 --> 00:36:37.920
wing. You know, he came
from Toronto. Yeah, we had other

505
00:36:37.960 --> 00:36:43.119
mentors, you know, Kevin Brown
and Jeff Shaw, every Carros, but

506
00:36:43.760 --> 00:36:47.199
Greene. At that point we were
playing every day, although Belly started playing

507
00:36:47.199 --> 00:36:51.920
every day in nineteen ninety eight.
But like his tourists on myself, we

508
00:36:52.039 --> 00:36:54.639
became every day big leaguers. And
you know, he help us a lot

509
00:36:54.960 --> 00:36:58.960
offensively, he help us a lot
with the mental side of the game.

510
00:36:59.480 --> 00:37:02.360
And I'm not surprised that he's in
Cooperstown. I wish I was there.

511
00:37:02.519 --> 00:37:07.000
You know. Actually I never asked
for permission. I should have, but

512
00:37:07.639 --> 00:37:12.679
coincidence that I'm here in Dodger stadium
when Belly is getting into the Hall of

513
00:37:12.679 --> 00:37:15.920
Fame. Probably not is the way
that this game works. And it's gonna

514
00:37:15.920 --> 00:37:22.079
be a fun day tomorrow, not
only for the Dodger you know, fans

515
00:37:22.119 --> 00:37:25.039
and the organization, but for us. I know, you guys never made

516
00:37:25.039 --> 00:37:29.760
it to the World Series, but
maybe I'm biased. You guys had such

517
00:37:29.760 --> 00:37:36.079
a special group and such a tight
knip friendship and brotherhood. Can you just

518
00:37:36.159 --> 00:37:39.239
describe what those teams were like,
especially in o for it felt like it

519
00:37:39.280 --> 00:37:49.440
was you against the world. It
was maybe more. But I still remember

520
00:37:50.400 --> 00:37:52.719
that day in San Diego, you
know, the last day of the trade,

521
00:37:53.559 --> 00:37:58.800
the deadline, and it wasn't a
good feeling at all. It was

522
00:37:58.800 --> 00:38:05.320
probably the worst feeling of that season. Understanding that we probably got better in

523
00:38:05.320 --> 00:38:08.719
in in a way, right we
we brought in some good players. One

524
00:38:08.760 --> 00:38:12.599
of them got hurt right away,
which I think it made the difference in

525
00:38:12.599 --> 00:38:15.840
October, Brad Penny. But we
brought in Steve Finley, who was amazing

526
00:38:15.920 --> 00:38:21.840
for the group clicked right away.
Uh, Jason Worth became an everyday player,

527
00:38:21.920 --> 00:38:24.599
Milton took it to another level.
Brad Main was awesome, but uh,

528
00:38:24.880 --> 00:38:30.800
you know, trading, uh moda
Luduca and Dave Roberts. Was was

529
00:38:31.000 --> 00:38:36.239
was tough for the group. I
don't know what would have happened, you

530
00:38:36.280 --> 00:38:39.320
know, in the last two months
of the season and in October, but

531
00:38:39.440 --> 00:38:43.599
it was a close group, not
only on the field but off the field.

532
00:38:43.639 --> 00:38:46.480
You know. I still have you
know, memories of going to Gania's

533
00:38:46.519 --> 00:38:52.360
house and hanging out. The strength
and conditioning coaches were amazing with us.

534
00:38:52.880 --> 00:38:55.800
Uh. It was kind of like
the first time that we actually you know,

535
00:38:57.519 --> 00:39:02.239
uh got involved with you know,
using all the tools that were provided

536
00:39:02.400 --> 00:39:07.000
by the organization to to be better, right. Uh, take a look

537
00:39:07.000 --> 00:39:12.719
at tendencies and pictures and defensive alignments
and all that stuff. It was really

538
00:39:12.719 --> 00:39:15.800
good. Uh. I still remember
the last out. Uh, with all

539
00:39:15.840 --> 00:39:20.760
the respect to Trace, I hated
shaking hands with the Cardinals after the game,

540
00:39:21.239 --> 00:39:23.440
but it is what it is.
And uh, you know, too

541
00:39:23.440 --> 00:39:28.599
bad we got to split up.
I think that team was on, uh

542
00:39:29.280 --> 00:39:34.719
on the rise to to become probably
a force and then a West but obviously,

543
00:39:35.079 --> 00:39:38.039
you know, decisions were made and
uh it didn't happen. But very

544
00:39:38.119 --> 00:39:42.480
proud to be part of those teams, you know, and uh I see

545
00:39:42.639 --> 00:39:45.320
I see Jim, you know,
Trace and spring training when he goes down

546
00:39:45.440 --> 00:39:50.280
and visit out chat, Uh his
son who's a Triple A manager in Worcester,

547
00:39:50.719 --> 00:39:53.480
and we talk a little bit,
you know about what if or you

548
00:39:53.519 --> 00:39:57.800
know, what we did right and
where we struggle. But uh, it's

549
00:39:57.840 --> 00:40:00.639
always cool to talk to Trace.
He he's actually in Cooper song too.

550
00:40:01.000 --> 00:40:04.840
He has too, you know,
he has Helton and he has belly.

551
00:40:05.079 --> 00:40:08.039
So he's a great. Great day
for Jim. Alex Cora, thanks a

00:43:15.760 --> 00:43:20.639
so he's been struggling in spite of
having a ten and five record for the

597
00:43:20.639 --> 00:43:23.119
Red Sox. So Robleski, as
a youngster, gets another start here at

598
00:43:23.159 --> 00:43:27.840
Dodger Stadium, and for him to
you know, come up in what appeared

599
00:43:27.880 --> 00:43:30.639
to be a spot start. He's
been here right along now getting ready to

600
00:43:30.679 --> 00:43:32.519
make his third big league stay.
His fourth seamer worked quite well, you

601
00:43:32.519 --> 00:43:36.239
know. Four seamer right now is
being hit only in a one eighty two

602
00:43:36.280 --> 00:43:39.239
clip fastball averaging ninety five, he
moves it in and out. He's talked

603
00:43:39.239 --> 00:43:44.760
to me about how he's able to
work with Cutter McGinnis, assistant pitching coach,

604
00:43:45.239 --> 00:43:47.199
on the seams and the fly of
the baseball to make it go in

605
00:43:47.239 --> 00:43:51.760
both directions. So his sinker plays
well and sometimes he wants to make it

606
00:43:51.840 --> 00:43:53.800
look like a slider with the withatherbowl
rold taste through the air. But the

607
00:43:53.840 --> 00:43:57.159
main thing for him's going to be
to just go out there and get strike

608
00:43:57.199 --> 00:44:00.519
one out of the way, trust
the defense. One thing that's ultimate and

609
00:44:00.599 --> 00:44:04.280
bary impressive for him is the fact
that he understands that these players are going

610
00:44:04.320 --> 00:44:07.039
to be made. But you got
to trust yourself to not overpower or troto

611
00:44:07.039 --> 00:44:09.800
overpower hitters all the time. The
home run ball has followed him just a

612
00:44:09.840 --> 00:44:13.119
couple of pitches that he needs to
go out there and execute much better on

613
00:44:13.159 --> 00:44:15.239
and certainly against the lefties too.
But you know what, he's fun to

614
00:44:15.239 --> 00:44:19.800
watch because he has a good pace, a lot of reflection in the body,

615
00:44:20.119 --> 00:44:22.519
max free type of guy, with
that body type over there on the

616
00:44:22.559 --> 00:44:28.119
mound internity, confidence never lacking with
him hopefully be able to at least minimized

617
00:44:28.159 --> 00:44:30.800
damage and get through five or six
indre because obviously that is the goal for

618
00:44:30.880 --> 00:44:35.440
him. A couple of notes from
Dave Roberts today. Clayton Kershaw, who

619
00:44:35.480 --> 00:44:38.159
pitched last night in Triple A.
They're going to make a decision today at

620
00:44:38.159 --> 00:44:43.519
some point on whether he'll join the
rotation, perhaps as soon as the Giants

621
00:44:43.519 --> 00:44:46.039
series coming up this week. Tyler
Glass now looks like he's going to pitch

622
00:44:46.039 --> 00:44:51.880
on Thursday. And we could see
Jason Hayward back in the Dodger lineup or

623
00:44:51.880 --> 00:44:55.039
maybe activated as soon as tomorrow.
So that's a couple of updates for you

624
00:44:55.440 --> 00:44:59.679
before we get this one underway.
Lineups. First pitch, Just around the

625
00:44:59.719 --> 00:45:02.840
corner, it's the Red Sox and
the Dodgers coming up from Dodger Stadium too,

626
00:45:02.960 --> 00:45:06.599
all right. Game two, This
three game set, Dodgers looking to

627
00:45:06.760 --> 00:45:09.440
ride that momentum from that four run
eighth inning last night. All start with

628
00:45:09.480 --> 00:45:14.960
Miguel Vargas's leadoff walk, the ground
duel double from Shay hot Show Hey Otani,

629
00:45:15.039 --> 00:45:17.239
and then the grand slam from Freddy
Freeman to give the Dodgers the win

630
00:45:17.360 --> 00:45:21.320
last night in their first game back
from the All Star break. Game two

631
00:45:21.360 --> 00:45:24.199
coming up, Dodgers starting the day, a seven game lead over the Diamondbacks,

632
00:45:24.360 --> 00:45:29.119
eight game lead over the Padres.
Both those two teams in action coming

633
00:45:29.159 --> 00:45:30.239
up in just a couple of minutes. We'll get you up dated throughout the

634
00:45:30.239 --> 00:45:34.119
game and of course on the post
game. But David Vassyes got your cover

635
00:45:34.159 --> 00:45:38.199
with all the postgame reaction highlights and
of course Dodger talk as well. Dodgers

636
00:45:38.599 --> 00:45:43.400
Red Sox Justin Robluski takes the mound
when we come back, looking for his

637
00:45:43.639 --> 00:45:47.000
first big league win, and they
come against Boston. First pitches next.

638
00:45:47.280 --> 00:45:50.960
Enjoy the game. I'm Tim Kasey, Vim Moroco Casino Dodgers on Deck.
