We got your Dodgers magical moment. 13 00:00:53.600 --> 00:00:57.000 We'll hear from Will Smith, who had a big night last night and 14 00:00:57.079 --> 00:00:59.840 at just a few minutes, we'll head out to the Gallpin Motors Broadcast booth 15 00:01:00.119 --> 00:01:03.840 and visit with Rick Monday and Tim never Well. Last night, Will Smith 16 00:01:03.960 --> 00:01:07.680 provided the power, Freddie Freeman delivered the big hit. Tyler Glass now got 17 00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:11.079 to start. The big right hander was perfect through three innings, looked real 18 00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:15.239 good, nine up, nine down. He'd ended up going six innings, 19 00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:18.560 but not before giving up five runs on only three hits, strike it out 20 00:01:18.640 --> 00:01:22.799 seven along the way. The Dodgers bats while they gave Glass Now some early 21 00:01:23.079 --> 00:01:26.359 run support. How about the first inning, will Smith two balls and two 22 00:01:26.439 --> 00:01:30.480 strikes, one out nobody on no score. Bottom of the first, Aaron 23 00:01:30.519 --> 00:01:37.239 Savali the pitch and Will hits a high drive to right center field and deep. 24 00:01:37.439 --> 00:01:40.599 This bott heading back toward the wall and has got a home run. 25 00:01:41.319 --> 00:01:46.519 Will Smith with home run number twelve and the Dodgers jump on the board first. 26 00:01:46.640 --> 00:01:49.280 That's one nothing, solo home run for Will Smith. Dodgers up one 27 00:01:49.359 --> 00:01:53.200 to nothing. And the third Will Smith would do it again, this time 28 00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:57.840 a solo shot to left center field, his second of the game, thirteenth 29 00:01:57.959 --> 00:02:01.239 of this season. Dodgers rubbed two. Tyler Glass now got into trouble in 30 00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:06.120 the fourth, gave him five runs a grand slam de Reee Hoskins. As 31 00:02:06.159 --> 00:02:09.879 the Brewers took a five two lead, the Dodgers Zo would chip away that 32 00:02:10.039 --> 00:02:14.840 deficit. Miguel Vargas a laser down the left field line, two run home 33 00:02:14.960 --> 00:02:17.120 run Dodgers cut it to a five to four Brewers lead. Then in the 34 00:02:17.240 --> 00:02:23.479 seventh, Will Smith really again. Will Smith two home runs tonight, two 35 00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:30.039 for two of the walk five four Dodgers trailer. Will swings hits a drive 36 00:02:30.159 --> 00:02:36.840 down the left field line and has done. It's gone. A three home 37 00:02:37.000 --> 00:02:40.960 run night for Will Smith, and he ties the game. Where there's a 38 00:02:42.159 --> 00:02:49.240 Will, there's a ways and Will is finding his way home five to five. 39 00:02:52.039 --> 00:02:55.159 Oh my goodness, what a night for Will Smith. Third home run 40 00:02:55.240 --> 00:02:58.879 of the game for Will Smith that tied the game at five. For Will 41 00:02:58.919 --> 00:03:01.159 he becomes a fourth catch sure in franchise history that they hit three home runs 42 00:03:01.199 --> 00:03:05.840 in a game, joining Roy Campanella, Mike Piazza, as Moni Grandal as 43 00:03:05.879 --> 00:03:07.199 the others. With the game tied five to five, in the eighth, 44 00:03:07.240 --> 00:03:12.159 Dodgers got something going. They load the bases with two outs for Freddy Freeman, 45 00:03:12.199 --> 00:03:15.759 who delivered in the two twos slang on and the ground ball up the 46 00:03:15.800 --> 00:03:21.719 middle of base hit. Hargas scores here comes ten or around third he roll 47 00:03:21.879 --> 00:03:27.159 score. Freeman's done it a two outs, two run base hit and the 48 00:03:27.280 --> 00:03:30.560 Dodgers lead at seven to five, two runs single for Freddie Freeman. That's 49 00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:34.439 the top tier playing the game, sponsor by Arco quality, top tier gas 50 00:03:34.520 --> 00:03:37.680 for less. Dodgers up seven to five. The very next batter te Oscar 51 00:03:37.759 --> 00:03:40.680 Hernandez and RBI single Dodgers with three runs in the eighth. They go on 52 00:03:40.879 --> 00:03:44.960 and beat the Brewers last night, eight to five. Daniel Hudson gets the 53 00:03:44.960 --> 00:03:49.199 winning relief. Evan Phillips picks up his fourteenth save. Dodgers now fifty four 54 00:03:49.199 --> 00:03:52.360 and thirty five. This afternoon, game two of this three game weekend, 55 00:03:52.439 --> 00:03:54.840 said James Paxton on the mound, first pitch at four fifteen, and with 56 00:03:54.960 --> 00:03:58.879 more we head out to the Gallpin Motors broadcast booth as we welcome in Rick 57 00:03:58.960 --> 00:04:01.840 Monday and Tim than ever, guys, Thanks very much, Tim. Beautiful 58 00:04:01.840 --> 00:04:06.199 afternoon for a ballgame at Dodgers Stadium as the Dodgers and Milwaukee Brewers get set 59 00:04:06.240 --> 00:04:11.280 for game two this three game weekend set Dodgers winning last night, coming from 60 00:04:11.319 --> 00:04:15.680 behind and getting three runs in the bottom of the eighth inning to take an 61 00:04:15.680 --> 00:04:19.680 eight to five lead and hold on to that for their fifty fourth win of 62 00:04:19.759 --> 00:04:24.600 the season. Dodgers start today fifty four and thirty five, six and a 63 00:04:24.639 --> 00:04:28.720 half up on the Padres in the National League West. As far as the 64 00:04:28.800 --> 00:04:31.360 Brewers aren't concerned, they've lost a couple of games in the last couple of 65 00:04:31.439 --> 00:04:35.600 days. They've lost back to back games. Meantime, the Cardinals have one 66 00:04:35.680 --> 00:04:40.079 back to back game, so the lead in the division for Milwaukee has shrunk 67 00:04:40.160 --> 00:04:44.920 to five games. Their record is fifty two and thirty seven, and moll 68 00:04:45.279 --> 00:04:47.560 the beat goes on. I guess as far as the Dodgers are concerned over 69 00:04:47.600 --> 00:04:53.600 the Brewers here at Dodgers Stadium, the Dodgers have won twelve of the last 70 00:04:53.680 --> 00:04:59.000 thirteen games against the Brewers here at the stadium and overall, winning fourteen of 71 00:04:59.040 --> 00:05:00.800 the last eighteen in the last six in a row. Yeah, I've done 72 00:05:00.959 --> 00:05:04.120 a very good job. But the Dodgers a very good job, especially with 73 00:05:04.279 --> 00:05:09.160 Will Smith. I mean, he went the trifecta three home runs in last 74 00:05:09.240 --> 00:05:12.399 night's ball game. He also had a couple of walks, so on base 75 00:05:12.879 --> 00:05:15.839 all five times, and also a home run by Miguel Vargas. But the 76 00:05:16.000 --> 00:05:19.519 Dodger ball club coming on Tim, you know, eight runs on ten hits, 77 00:05:19.720 --> 00:05:23.319 and they say, okay, that's really good, and especially in the 78 00:05:23.399 --> 00:05:27.240 eighth inning, especially good when he started the consenter. They entered last night's 79 00:05:27.279 --> 00:05:31.439 game having scored just two runs over the previous seventeen innings. Only guy on 80 00:05:31.519 --> 00:05:34.560 the board the second batter, Will Smith, the first of the three home 81 00:05:34.639 --> 00:05:38.839 runs in last night's game. How about Will Smith? Also, he had 82 00:05:38.839 --> 00:05:45.000 gone ninety nine at bats with two home runs, and within three official at 83 00:05:45.040 --> 00:05:47.120 bats last night, it's three of them out of the ballpark. About that 84 00:05:47.680 --> 00:05:53.600 he's got thirty three extra base hits this season, which leads all major league 85 00:05:53.680 --> 00:05:56.800 catchers. He's not starting in the All Star Game. The guy on the 86 00:05:56.839 --> 00:06:00.600 other side of the lineup today, William Contreras, is Yeah, Conterras has 87 00:06:00.680 --> 00:06:05.639 earned it. And we'll talk more about Terres actually once the game gets underway. 88 00:06:06.480 --> 00:06:11.920 But for the Dodgers, I think also it's a different look today obviously 89 00:06:12.079 --> 00:06:15.560 because first of all, James Outman is in the lineup. He returns the 90 00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:18.480 Dodgers, He's starting in center field, and Autman will bat in the number 91 00:06:18.920 --> 00:06:24.319 six spot in this lineup, so a little bit different change including Pies moves 92 00:06:24.360 --> 00:06:28.160 over to right field, and Pies has been very comfortable in right field throughout 93 00:06:28.199 --> 00:06:30.920 his career. View hasn't looked uncomfortable in centerfield, hasn't looked overmatched or anything. 94 00:06:31.319 --> 00:06:34.879 But for Outman, that's his best position. It's his best position. 95 00:06:35.240 --> 00:06:40.959 And for James Outman, the return now to the Dodgers ball club and we're 96 00:06:40.959 --> 00:06:44.959 going to find out more consistent contact was really kind of the element that he 97 00:06:45.000 --> 00:06:46.439 wanted to go down to Triple A and work on. We'll see how that 98 00:06:46.560 --> 00:06:50.000 works out. Chris Taylor again to start at third base. He's going to 99 00:06:50.040 --> 00:06:54.759 be pressed into action a lot, swinging the bat much better, making better 100 00:06:54.879 --> 00:06:58.759 contact on top of it. Mcgil Rojas a short stop, Gavin lux Is 101 00:06:58.839 --> 00:07:01.920 at SACA base and Freddie Freeman, who came up with that huge two run 102 00:07:02.079 --> 00:07:05.879 single on a one to two count last night in that eighth inning. Lord, 103 00:07:05.959 --> 00:07:11.120 that was the bread and butter, and for Freeman also one other base 104 00:07:11.199 --> 00:07:14.480 hit in the ballgame. So Freeman, you start to look at the last 105 00:07:14.560 --> 00:07:16.680 ten games, his average is well over three hundred. Again, he's got 106 00:07:16.759 --> 00:07:21.199 four multi hit games Over his last six overall, and since June first Mall 107 00:07:21.560 --> 00:07:26.879 he's hitting three thirty with seven home runs and twenty five runs back. Not 108 00:07:26.959 --> 00:07:30.319 a not a bad stretch at all, one stretch that needs to change. 109 00:07:30.360 --> 00:07:34.680 Show hey Otani, oh for his last eleven with seven strikeouts in that process, 110 00:07:35.160 --> 00:07:40.000 six of those consecutive. For Otani, he's only one pitch away from 111 00:07:40.120 --> 00:07:44.000 the longest hitting streak he's had in his career. Well, somebody's gonna pay 112 00:07:44.040 --> 00:07:46.560 the price exactly soon enough. We don't know if it's today tomorrow, but 113 00:07:46.680 --> 00:07:50.600 someone's gonna pay the price when Otani starts to get hot again. Just one 114 00:07:51.120 --> 00:07:55.639 at bat closer to getting hot, Dodgers and the Brewer is coming up. 115 00:07:55.720 --> 00:07:58.839 Freddy Peralta the a, so the Brewers will pitch. He is six and 116 00:07:58.959 --> 00:08:01.680 four and a three eight three earned run average. James Paxton looking for another 117 00:08:01.800 --> 00:08:07.439 victory coming off a really rough start against San Francisco. He'll to bounce back 118 00:08:07.480 --> 00:08:11.519 today. Seven to two for Paxton in a four to eight earned run average. 119 00:08:11.959 --> 00:08:15.319 Lineups in first pitch, not that far away from Dodgers Stadium.

His third one tied things 140 00:09:43.159 --> 00:09:46.399 up in the seventh at five.

As the Dodgers improved 142 00:09:50.480 --> 00:09:54.480 at fifty four and thirty five and afterwards, Will Smith talked to Davids a, 143 00:09:54.440 --> 00:09:58.240 Well, you're the big hero, but talk about the big league. 144 00:09:58.279 --> 00:10:01.399 Got back by Freddy Freeman to give you guys to win in the eighth and 145 00:10:01.480 --> 00:10:03.240 eight.

He's starting to heat up, getting more playing 172 00:11:35.840 --> 00:11:41.519 time. We come back, We'll get you an injury report, and we'll 173 00:11:41.600 --> 00:11:45.080 hear from the Dodger manager, Dave Roberts, which had a lot to say 174 00:11:45.120 --> 00:11:48.240 after a big win last night, ending in game two of this three game 175 00:11:48.320 --> 00:11:52.480 weekend series.

A grand slam for good times. James Paxon Freddy Peralta. 181 00:12:20.559 --> 00:12:24.600 The pitching matchup, first pitch set for four fifteen. This it's the 182 00:12:24.879 --> 00:12:31.919 LA Dodgers Injury Report, presented by UCLA Healthy official medical partner the Los Angeles 183 00:12:31.000 --> 00:12:33.759 Dodgers. Jason Hayward, who you'll hear from coming up in just a little 184 00:12:33.759 --> 00:12:37.679 bit, on the injured list with the left and knee bone bruise, Mookie 185 00:12:37.720 --> 00:12:41.120 Bets on the IL at the fraction left hand, Yoshinoba Yamamoto on the IEL, 186 00:12:41.240 --> 00:12:45.840 the strained rotator Cruff Walker Bueller on the IEL, the sore hit, 187 00:12:45.919 --> 00:12:50.879 Michael Gross still on the IL at the Latsorts. Maximunsey is well progressing slowly. 188 00:12:50.320 --> 00:12:54.399 He is not eligible to come off the IL until after the All Star 189 00:12:54.519 --> 00:12:58.080 break because of the oblique injury. Clayton Kershaw is starting to wrap it up. 190 00:12:58.120 --> 00:13:00.960 That is good news. Joe Kelly on a second minor league rehab assignment 191 00:13:01.320 --> 00:13:05.000 last night for Rancho kucka Manga. That is good news. Bruce dar Grattarol 192 00:13:05.159 --> 00:13:09.480 is starting to throw over in Arizona and do baseball activities. He is slowly 193 00:13:09.559 --> 00:13:13.039 working his way back. Ryan Brazier Destin may All in the sixty day I 194 00:13:13.240 --> 00:13:16.399 L image and Tony Gonslan done for the season with arm surgeries. All right, 195 00:13:16.720 --> 00:13:20.639 let's head back out to Dodger Stadium and check out with the Dodger Skipper. 196 00:13:20.919 --> 00:13:26.159 Any questions for Dave Dave? Can you just describe Dave? Can you 197 00:13:26.279 --> 00:13:31.559 talk about the pressure in the dugouts with Dave Roberts. They do the reports 198 00:13:31.720 --> 00:13:39.679 on jer Kella Mashal results start, Yes, they do very efficient. Stuff's 199 00:13:39.759 --> 00:13:48.159 good. So he's had two really hasn't been tested, but from all reports 200 00:13:48.200 --> 00:13:52.240 that I get, been positive. I'm not sure when his next one is, 201 00:13:52.320 --> 00:14:01.360 but I still stand by the four ish outs to then really have that 202 00:14:01.440 --> 00:14:07.279 conversation to get him back with us, because I think it was fifteen really 203 00:14:09.600 --> 00:14:15.799 for you know what, he likes being close to home. He likes being 204 00:14:15.840 --> 00:14:18.679 close to the nest. So I'm sure at some point we're going to get 205 00:14:18.720 --> 00:14:22.600 him to triple A. But I would assume the next one is still going 206 00:14:22.639 --> 00:14:26.879 to be closer to the nest I mentioned yesterday. Think you're still flowing Back 207 00:14:26.919 --> 00:14:31.399 says he had any additional setbent. He has not. He's had additional skins 208 00:14:33.840 --> 00:14:39.559 and nothing has kind of come up. I wouldn't say set back. I 209 00:14:39.600 --> 00:14:45.759 would just say more, there's no progression. It just continues to remain stagnant 210 00:14:46.360 --> 00:14:50.960 as far as kind of this discomfort, soreness, soreness. So we just 211 00:14:52.080 --> 00:14:58.879 haven't been allowed to or continue to progress because he just has that same sensation. 212 00:14:58.480 --> 00:15:03.639 So it's time away, time off. Everything he does, you know, 213 00:15:03.879 --> 00:15:09.519 turning and rotating is good, except swinging a bat. And so that's 214 00:15:09.600 --> 00:15:13.600 the kind of the weird thing. He stops swinging. He has stopped swinging 215 00:15:13.639 --> 00:15:20.799 a Batthili played the faces. Yes here, he's going to do it here. 216 00:15:20.799 --> 00:15:24.879 I think, you know, right around ten thirty something tomorrow morning, 217 00:15:24.120 --> 00:15:30.679 and I think it's two or three innings something like that. He has to 218 00:15:30.720 --> 00:15:35.320 move to three or to be four. I think it could be a I 219 00:15:35.360 --> 00:15:37.360 could see a three and then a four, and then I think for us, 220 00:15:37.840 --> 00:15:41.879 you know, depending on where we're at, have a conversation if it 221 00:15:41.960 --> 00:15:46.159 makes sense for him to join us. So yeah, I think that's fair. 222 00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:52.480 So he threw He's at CBR. I knew he. I know he 223 00:15:52.600 --> 00:15:58.519 threw a simulated game, and I don't know the results of it. So 224 00:15:58.840 --> 00:16:03.919 assuming that, I think it went well, and so Graderol is progressing as 225 00:16:03.960 --> 00:16:07.879 I understand it. Don't have a timeline, but I do think that he 226 00:16:07.039 --> 00:16:14.200 is trending in the right direction. See what about Michael Grove. Michael is 227 00:16:14.679 --> 00:16:19.120 in town right now. He is not going to travel with us this next 228 00:16:19.240 --> 00:16:25.240 road trip. I don't know where he's at right now. Eric, I 229 00:16:25.360 --> 00:16:29.200 still think that that lad just trying to make sure that we you know, 230 00:16:29.360 --> 00:16:33.600 he's interesting because he was still pitching with some soreness, but then there was 231 00:16:33.639 --> 00:16:37.519 a point that we had to a l him and so just trying to if 232 00:16:37.559 --> 00:16:41.039 we're going to run the exercise of putting on the al, let's really put 233 00:16:41.080 --> 00:16:45.240 it to bed. And so that's what we're trying to do. So I 234 00:16:45.360 --> 00:16:48.639 just don't know right now exactly where he's at in his rehab. Is there 235 00:16:48.639 --> 00:16:52.720 anything new with Yamao. He is supposed to be playing catch next week. 236 00:16:53.559 --> 00:16:57.159 I don't know which day, but he's paying for you right now doing a 237 00:16:57.200 --> 00:17:03.679 lot of plyo stuff. So it's going to be a big step for him 238 00:17:03.000 --> 00:17:08.039 next week. Update on Rookie, No, not really. I mean I 239 00:17:08.200 --> 00:17:12.720 was out here with him yesterday taking ground balls as short running. I saw 240 00:17:12.799 --> 00:17:18.160 him running, I saw him throwing. He looks stronger, feels good. 241 00:17:18.839 --> 00:17:25.519 The bones are healing. Properly, excuse me, properly, so he's doing 242 00:17:25.559 --> 00:17:29.039 everything except swing a bat. All right. There's Dave Roberts with more of 243 00:17:29.079 --> 00:17:33.720 an in depth injury reported update on basically everybody it's on the injured list, 244 00:17:33.839 --> 00:17:38.519 and some timetables on a few, including Michael Grove and sounds positive about Yamamoto 245 00:17:38.680 --> 00:17:42.720 pain free right now and doing plyometrics.

Let we continue here on Dodgers on 250 00:17:56.400 --> 00:18:00.359 Deck, will check in what David vest say you up to? First pitch 251 00:18:00.680 --> 00:18:06.359 Dodgers and Brewers. I'm Tim Kates's Los Angeles Dodgers on you a network. 252 00:18:07.799 --> 00:18:15.960 This is Marongo Casino, Dodgers on Deck on your home for the blue all 253 00:18:15.119 --> 00:18:22.759 season long. It's a Dodgers and Brewers on this Saturday afternoon. James Paxson 254 00:18:22.799 --> 00:18:30.519 gets the start first pitch at four fifteen, joining Tim Kates on Dodgers on 255 00:18:30.720 --> 00:18:34.559 deck. I accept everybody for who they are. This is Dodger insider David 256 00:18:34.720 --> 00:18:40.920 Basse. All right, David. Yesterday James Outman gets recall from TRIPLEA Oklahoma 257 00:18:41.119 --> 00:18:45.279 City and today gets to start. Yeah, he does. And uh, 258 00:18:45.440 --> 00:18:48.519 It's been a long road for James Outman. He came to spring training as 259 00:18:48.640 --> 00:18:53.200 the Dodgers center fielder. Obviously did not get off to a great start. 260 00:18:53.240 --> 00:18:57.000 And honestly, Tim, if you go back to the beginning of spring training 261 00:18:57.079 --> 00:19:02.920 games, James Outman looked like a show of himself from a year ago. 262 00:19:03.640 --> 00:19:07.319 And he had a chance in TRIPLEA Oklahoma City to get away from the bright 263 00:19:07.480 --> 00:19:11.880 lights, to reset, to be able to you know, work on his 264 00:19:11.039 --> 00:19:15.680 swing, to get it back to where it was at times last year. 265 00:19:15.240 --> 00:19:18.880 And the Dodgers were not going to call Autman back up to sit on the 266 00:19:18.920 --> 00:19:22.920 bench. They needed him to get at bats, they needed him to get 267 00:19:22.039 --> 00:19:27.440 better. And if injuries, you know, compelled them to call him up 268 00:19:27.680 --> 00:19:32.559 like they did with Hayward's injury, he would get that opportunity again. And 269 00:19:32.720 --> 00:19:36.640 here he is, and he is going to be part of the outfield mix, 270 00:19:37.119 --> 00:19:41.720 probably until the Dodgers and Major League Baseball's trade deadline, David, Joe 271 00:19:41.839 --> 00:19:45.319 Kelly, it's made a couple of minor league rehab appearances, now, what's 272 00:19:45.359 --> 00:19:51.759 the latest. He was actually with Rancho Kuckamonga again yesterday tim in Visalia, 273 00:19:52.119 --> 00:19:56.839 and he pitched an inning of scoreless baseball through only thirteen pitches. And Dave 274 00:19:56.920 --> 00:20:03.200 Roberts has said it's going to take at least four rehab appearances for Joe Kelly 275 00:20:03.279 --> 00:20:07.240 to return. He also wants to see Joe Kelly pitch on back to back 276 00:20:07.319 --> 00:20:14.119 days. My understanding is Rancho Cucamonga has a day off tomorrow and maybe even 277 00:20:14.200 --> 00:20:18.359 on Monday, so he probably won't pitch again until next week unless he goes 278 00:20:18.440 --> 00:20:23.599 to another minor league affiliate. But because he is the king of Rancho Cucamonga, 279 00:20:23.680 --> 00:20:26.039 I'm sure he wants to stay out there. Yeah. We heard Dave 280 00:20:26.119 --> 00:20:29.920 Roberts kind of needling him in a little bit about not wanting to leave too 281 00:20:30.000 --> 00:20:33.000 far from home. Yeah, David is brought to you Ryan, You're Southern 282 00:20:33.039 --> 00:20:37.519 California Ford Dealers for great offers on a Ford Bronco Sport or any Ford model 283 00:20:37.599 --> 00:20:44.160 during Ford's fourth of July Dale Day. Selithon Miguel Vargas not in a lineup 284 00:20:44.240 --> 00:20:47.599 today. David played really well last night. The two run home run was 285 00:20:47.640 --> 00:20:49.960 a key part of the Dodgers come back win. When can we see him 286 00:20:49.960 --> 00:20:55.519 maybe at third base? Well, he's been taking ground balls at third base 287 00:20:55.720 --> 00:20:59.039 the last couple of days and I actually thought he was going to take more 288 00:20:59.119 --> 00:21:03.319 today. Instead, he was working more in the outfield. So it's an 289 00:21:03.400 --> 00:21:08.000 option for the Dodgers. I saw yesterday being close to the Dodger dugout in 290 00:21:08.039 --> 00:21:12.799 the first inning, Max Munsey and Dave Roberts having a long conversation, and 291 00:21:12.960 --> 00:21:18.119 look, you know, I'm not going to say that the managers not accurate, 292 00:21:18.279 --> 00:21:23.359 but sometimes players can surprise you with what they can do. And Max 293 00:21:23.400 --> 00:21:26.880 Munsey did not make it seem like it was going to be too far after 294 00:21:27.000 --> 00:21:30.559 the All Star break that he was going to return to the Dodgers, and 295 00:21:30.720 --> 00:21:34.039 Dave Roberts is on the record now as saying that, yeah, it may 296 00:21:34.119 --> 00:21:37.960 be a while after the All Star Game. So it feels like the Dodgers 297 00:21:37.960 --> 00:21:42.920 are leaving their options open, especially with having Vargas take round balls at third 298 00:21:44.000 --> 00:21:48.480 base. But I've learned tim you don't bet against players as good as Max 299 00:21:48.599 --> 00:21:52.799 Munsey, and look, he's been out for two months plus. Now. 300 00:21:53.160 --> 00:21:57.400 I know he's concerned about re injuring the oblique, but at some points you've 301 00:21:57.480 --> 00:22:02.160 got to let it go and find out whether or not it works. Day 302 00:22:02.279 --> 00:22:07.079 final thing, any concern about show he Otani last night three punch outs, 303 00:22:07.119 --> 00:22:08.839 OH for five, the night before, and the fourth of July OH for 304 00:22:08.960 --> 00:22:14.359 three with three punch outs seems to be striking out an alarming higher rate here. 305 00:22:14.880 --> 00:22:18.240 Well, when he does that, tim our understanding is he expands the 306 00:22:18.319 --> 00:22:22.960 strike zone, and what pitchers are trying to do to him is throw fastballs 307 00:22:22.000 --> 00:22:27.640 inside and then spin him away. When he doesn't chase that spin, he 308 00:22:27.799 --> 00:22:33.039 goes on the tear that we saw since Father's Day. When he starts chasing 309 00:22:33.160 --> 00:22:37.160 those pitches outside the strike zone, we see this version of show Hey Otani. 310 00:22:37.240 --> 00:22:41.720 So he's got to get back to not swinging at pitches outside of the 311 00:22:41.759 --> 00:22:44.680 strike zone. David, great stuff. As always, We'll check back in 312 00:22:44.759 --> 00:22:48.000 with you in just a little bit. Coming up here on Marago Casino Dodgers 313 00:22:48.039 --> 00:22:51.119 on Deck, we'll hear from Jason Hayward, will dive deeper into this pitch, 314 00:22:51.200 --> 00:22:52.839 he mad Chubb. We'll check back in with Rick Monday, of course. 315 00:22:52.880 --> 00:22:59.599 But up next your Dodger's Magical moment on this day, nineteen forty two. 316 00:23:00.839 --> 00:23:03.799 Cool moment you're not gonna want to miss. Dodgers Brewers, don't miss 317 00:23:03.880 --> 00:23:07.200 this one. First pitch come up at four fifteen. I'm Tim Katsi's Los 318 00:23:07.240 --> 00:23:15.839 Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.

It's Dodgers and Brewers 320 00:23:25.240 --> 00:23:29.359 on this Saturday afternoon. Came two of this three game weekend series. Best 321 00:23:29.400 --> 00:23:32.240 team in the National League West taken on the best team in the National League 322 00:23:32.279 --> 00:23:38.960 Central. First pitch coming up at four fifteen, I d Dog who wants 323 00:23:41.519 --> 00:23:48.119 It's time for the Hawfe Magical Moment. Bitch Magical presented by Howby Hot Dogs 324 00:23:48.480 --> 00:23:52.519 on this stage. July sixth, nineteen forty two. It's the eighty second 325 00:23:52.680 --> 00:23:59.720 anniversary of the nineteen forty two Major League Baseball All Star Game. At the 326 00:24:00.759 --> 00:24:03.799 now World War Two had started, Guys like Hank Greenberg, Bob Feller, 327 00:24:03.920 --> 00:24:07.839 Cecil, Travis, Buddy Lewis, all American leaguers had already announced they were 328 00:24:07.880 --> 00:24:12.559 over there serving our country. Fellow players like Ted Williams and crew would follow 329 00:24:12.640 --> 00:24:17.000 a year later, But in this nineteen forty two All Star Game, the 330 00:24:17.079 --> 00:24:21.200 game was delayed almost an hour because of rain in New York. There was 331 00:24:21.279 --> 00:24:25.680 a curfew at the time during World War Two after dark, but the game 332 00:24:25.799 --> 00:24:29.000 was able to get played. Dodgers had seven All Stars on the team, 333 00:24:29.359 --> 00:24:32.680 three of them which were starters. In a game in which Mickey Owens went 334 00:24:32.759 --> 00:24:34.599 deep al Benton is all set again. Here's the next one to all on. 335 00:24:34.680 --> 00:24:37.200 Owen swings.

Here's LA Dodgers broadcaster and World Series Champion 356 00:26:15.000 --> 00:26:19.559 Dodger Rick Monday. Rick, the Dodgers got a big win last night, 357 00:26:19.640 --> 00:26:25.240 coming off two series losses to come from behind and beat the Brewers last night, 358 00:26:25.319 --> 00:26:27.240 I felt like as big as it can be in July. It was 359 00:26:27.920 --> 00:26:30.960 well, I think, there's no question about it, and especially when you 360 00:26:32.039 --> 00:26:34.839 start to look at the fact Dodgers had the lead on the first inning home 361 00:26:34.920 --> 00:26:38.000 run, the first of three by the way by Will Smith, so it 362 00:26:38.119 --> 00:26:41.880 was one to nothing, and then they stretched it out to two to nothing 363 00:26:41.960 --> 00:26:45.640 on the second home run that was hitting the third inning, also by Will 364 00:26:45.720 --> 00:26:49.160 Smith. But then things got to the little rocky road. Five runs for 365 00:26:49.200 --> 00:26:52.319 the Brewers. They took the lead, and then the Dodgers are running the 366 00:26:52.400 --> 00:26:56.599 seventh and then three runs in the eighth inning, and I start to analyze 367 00:26:56.640 --> 00:27:00.119 that eighth inning last night. I mean, we talked about some very good 368 00:27:00.160 --> 00:27:04.039 advanced including Will Smith. He'd already had three home runs, he'd had one 369 00:27:04.079 --> 00:27:07.319 walk, so then he moves the count to three and two and he drew 370 00:27:07.440 --> 00:27:11.279 the walk, and that was with two outs. And then Freddy Freeman comes 371 00:27:11.319 --> 00:27:15.559 on. He's behind in the count one and two, and he took a 372 00:27:15.640 --> 00:27:18.880 couple of self protection swings, filed off a couple of pitches, then the 373 00:27:18.960 --> 00:27:22.880 big two run double to Oscar. Her name is folowed also with the base 374 00:27:23.000 --> 00:27:26.880 hit to knock in another run. Comfort behind victory, if you will. 375 00:27:26.279 --> 00:27:32.359 But I think also this Dodger ball club maybe beginning to catch the flow of 376 00:27:32.440 --> 00:27:34.119 a, hey, guys, we can play better baseball than that rut that 377 00:27:34.200 --> 00:27:37.559 they were in, particularly the last road trip, because okay, they swept 378 00:27:37.599 --> 00:27:41.480 the series in Chicago against the White Sox, but then lost two out of 379 00:27:41.519 --> 00:27:45.119 three to the Giants, and the Giants were not really playing that well. 380 00:27:45.200 --> 00:27:48.920 The Dodgers weren't even playing that good. Rick. There wasn't a lot of 381 00:27:48.599 --> 00:27:53.359 There wasn't a lot to cheer for here at Dodgers Stadium during that Diamondback series. 382 00:27:53.400 --> 00:27:56.680 But it was electric when Freddy Freeman came up in the eighth inning, 383 00:27:56.839 --> 00:28:00.400 I felt like the stadium was shaking, yeah, and they were waiting for 384 00:28:00.559 --> 00:28:04.920 something to happen, and Freddie Freeman made it happen. And for Glass, 385 00:28:06.000 --> 00:28:08.960 now, you know, you start to look at his Dodgers starting pitching is 386 00:28:10.079 --> 00:28:15.200 their concern. Glass noow goes the six innings, only gave up three hits, 387 00:28:15.440 --> 00:28:18.319 five runs, including one home run that was the Grand Slam. But 388 00:28:18.440 --> 00:28:22.960 if we look at the starting pitching, you know, the last seven games 389 00:28:22.960 --> 00:28:26.720 they worked thirty innings, is all, and then you look at forty two 390 00:28:26.880 --> 00:28:32.400 hits, they've walked thirteen and give it up thirty runs. That's the starting 391 00:28:32.519 --> 00:28:36.920 pitching over the last seven ballgames. So hopefully that's going to turn around. 392 00:28:37.440 --> 00:28:41.279 And for James Paxston, who's getting to start today, hopefully that's going to 393 00:28:41.319 --> 00:28:44.839 be good enough to pick up his eighth victory. I guess they say styles 394 00:28:44.960 --> 00:28:48.039 makes fights. How about the matchup today with Paxton against the Brewers, Rick, 395 00:28:48.160 --> 00:28:52.359 I guess the Brewers are known to be a contact type of offense. 396 00:28:52.839 --> 00:28:56.759 How does James Paxton navigate well, carefully and because of you know, he's 397 00:28:56.799 --> 00:29:00.279 given up nine home runs. But on the other side of the coin, 398 00:29:00.519 --> 00:29:04.039 freddie Beralta, who's going to go for the Brewers, is given up twelve 399 00:29:04.119 --> 00:29:08.279 home runs in spite of a very low batting average against. Speaking of banning 400 00:29:08.319 --> 00:29:12.279 average against, something that Tim and I will talk about a little bit later 401 00:29:12.359 --> 00:29:17.680 on Paxson with runners in scoring position, it's over a three hundred batting average. 402 00:29:17.759 --> 00:29:21.079 That has to change, and he can change speeds well enough, how 403 00:29:21.119 --> 00:29:25.640 does he kind of maneuver through this Brewers lineup? Miguel Vargas a big game 404 00:29:25.720 --> 00:29:29.319 last night break. He's not in the starting lineup today, but he's taking 405 00:29:29.440 --> 00:29:33.319 more ground balls at third base. I guess anywhere he can get four at 406 00:29:33.400 --> 00:29:36.519 bats is all he cares. If you want playing time and you have a 407 00:29:36.599 --> 00:29:41.960 couple of different gloves, use them and a new face returns. James Autman 408 00:29:41.039 --> 00:29:45.119 will start in centerfield. By the way, before we go away, this 409 00:29:45.440 --> 00:29:49.480 was a historic day in Dodger history, and I think in broadcasting history, 410 00:29:49.599 --> 00:29:55.400 because we go back the year two thousand. This was the day that our 411 00:29:55.519 --> 00:30:02.519 friend Vin Scully was voted and accurately so voted the number one sportscaster of the 412 00:30:02.720 --> 00:30:07.160 twentieth century my members of the American Sportscasters Association, And every time we tune 413 00:30:07.200 --> 00:30:11.039 in the ballgame from those years, we hear the magical voice of our friend 414 00:30:11.119 --> 00:30:15.559 Vin Scully, who's dearly missed, no doubt, Rick, and feel like 415 00:30:15.640 --> 00:30:21.039 your voice is pretty familiar these days with Dodger fans, going back to nineteen 416 00:30:21.160 --> 00:30:23.279 ninety three being in the broadcast, We've seen a lot of baseball here, 417 00:30:23.359 --> 00:30:26.559 David, Yeah, you have. Do you feel like you see something? 418 00:30:26.000 --> 00:30:30.359 Nine more innings to go today, hopefully only eight and a half. Well, 419 00:30:30.400 --> 00:30:33.039 you see something? You never seen before. Ray possibly Okay, we'll 420 00:30:33.079 --> 00:30:36.319 send it back to you in the studio. Tim all right, thank you 421 00:30:36.480 --> 00:30:40.960 guys.

It's an engagement 435 00:31:42.480 --> 00:31:48.640 of endearment. This this high and tight. When I got to the ballpark 436 00:31:48.680 --> 00:31:52.920 today, there were cars lined up outside of Dodgers Stadium because they're here to 437 00:31:52.079 --> 00:31:56.960 celebrate Jason Hayward, who has only been here for a couple of years but 438 00:31:56.079 --> 00:32:00.119 certainly has made his impact on the Dodgers and this community. And tonight is 439 00:32:00.200 --> 00:32:06.400 his bibblehead night. He's making the city connect uniforms look as a classy as 440 00:32:06.440 --> 00:32:09.079 they possibly can in this bibblehead Jason, thanks a lot for the time. 441 00:32:09.759 --> 00:32:15.920 I appreciate it. I say, what a cool night to have a biblehead, 442 00:32:15.480 --> 00:32:19.960 you know, historic franchise and the Los Angeles Dodgers. You know, 443 00:32:20.079 --> 00:32:23.599 honored to be a part of that collection. Always collected them as a kid. 444 00:32:23.759 --> 00:32:27.240 And I was just telling you, you know, before we got on 445 00:32:27.440 --> 00:32:29.720 that this is probably the first time I take THEE out of the box in 446 00:32:29.799 --> 00:32:31.559 a long time, because such a special thing as a baseball fan, so 447 00:32:31.680 --> 00:32:36.000 cool to be a part of it. And then as you said to where 448 00:32:36.039 --> 00:32:38.480 the City connects. I think it looks pretty good. It felt like Christmas 449 00:32:38.519 --> 00:32:42.119 standing next to you when you were pulling it out of the box. Are 450 00:32:42.200 --> 00:32:44.960 you happy with the way it turned out? No, I think they did 451 00:32:45.000 --> 00:32:47.000 a really great job. I was just telling Lon Rosen that, you know, 452 00:32:47.160 --> 00:32:52.240 thanking him for making this bobblehead look like me. You know, it's 453 00:32:52.240 --> 00:32:54.160 a pants down version, which is you know, cool to see. I 454 00:32:54.240 --> 00:32:58.680 think it's cool like as a as a difference because sometimes I go pants up, 455 00:32:58.720 --> 00:33:00.880 pants down, whatever. But they got the armsleeve, they got the 456 00:33:00.000 --> 00:33:05.480 risk band, the white white cleats, white batting glove, the you know, 457 00:33:05.599 --> 00:33:09.480 the the black finished maple bat and the cool cool navy helmets with the 458 00:33:09.920 --> 00:33:13.119 with the new City to Connect logo. No, I think they did a 459 00:33:13.160 --> 00:33:15.240 great job. And nice smile right there about a young guy. Hey, 460 00:33:15.359 --> 00:33:20.079 great smile in real life too, man, You and taoscar Hernandez got the 461 00:33:20.119 --> 00:33:22.240 two best smiles on this team. Oh, I appreciate it. I appreciate 462 00:33:22.279 --> 00:33:27.000 it. How many bubbleheads have you had in your career? I want to 463 00:33:27.039 --> 00:33:32.160 say this is four or five? You know, playing a long enough, 464 00:33:32.400 --> 00:33:37.240 you know, fortunately you get to get to have a few. But again, 465 00:33:37.359 --> 00:33:39.519 like you know, I played first, you know, historic franchises, 466 00:33:39.839 --> 00:33:43.920 been lucky enough to say I've done that. And this is another cool when 467 00:33:43.920 --> 00:33:45.480 I added the collection. And this one's cool because I get to do it 468 00:33:45.519 --> 00:33:50.559 as a dad, you know, and you have Messi throwing out the first 469 00:33:50.599 --> 00:33:53.119 pitch. It must be cool that he may kind of know what's going on. 470 00:33:53.559 --> 00:33:58.920 Yeah, I think he really has no idea other than where Tata's job. 471 00:33:59.440 --> 00:34:02.920 This is where to works. He knows baseball, and so he'll say, 472 00:34:02.960 --> 00:34:06.759 all right, like, you know, maybe I throw this to dad, 473 00:34:06.799 --> 00:34:10.199 Maybe maybe I don't right now exactly. So that'll be interesting to see 474 00:34:10.199 --> 00:34:14.360 in itself. But it'll be really cool to show him video and pictures of 475 00:34:14.800 --> 00:34:16.559 that day. But looking forward to having him and him and V out there 476 00:34:16.599 --> 00:34:21.039 on the field with me to celebrate the day, no doubt. Jason Hayward 477 00:34:21.199 --> 00:34:23.760 is our guest, and obviously you're on the injured list right now with the 478 00:34:23.840 --> 00:34:28.280 left knee injury. We were talking about this as well. How big of 479 00:34:28.320 --> 00:34:31.719 a relief is it that it wasn't more damage than you know what it could 480 00:34:31.760 --> 00:34:37.199 have been. Oh, yeah, it's there's a there's a quote unquote low 481 00:34:37.280 --> 00:34:40.639 point of the day, you know, for me it's not being able to 482 00:34:40.639 --> 00:34:44.280 go out there and play with the guys and and grind with them. Of 483 00:34:44.320 --> 00:34:46.159 course, it's jababa head day. It's it's really fun day to have, 484 00:34:47.519 --> 00:34:51.719 so that that's that's unfortunate. But you know, looking at the bright side 485 00:34:51.760 --> 00:34:54.159 of things, you know, there there's no tear there, There was no 486 00:34:54.280 --> 00:34:59.599 miniscus or anything like that structural damage. I hadn't had anything like that before, 487 00:35:00.239 --> 00:35:02.559 so I just really wasn't sure that day, and in real time when 488 00:35:02.599 --> 00:35:06.719 it happened, I just knew I hit the wall really hard, and then 489 00:35:07.079 --> 00:35:08.679 it kind of threw off my timing as far as landing and getting my feet 490 00:35:08.719 --> 00:35:13.719 set, and I came down quick, and I just knew something wasn't right, 491 00:35:14.880 --> 00:35:17.079 and I wanted to keep going, especially I know what we've been short 492 00:35:17.199 --> 00:35:21.599 guys, you know in that moment, but had to get out of there 493 00:35:21.639 --> 00:35:25.480 and make sure that things were okay. And now getting those results, yeah, 494 00:35:25.760 --> 00:35:29.960 like bomb brwis, you know, swelling and all the natural stuff that's 495 00:35:29.960 --> 00:35:32.480 going to happen there. But with the All Star break coming up, take 496 00:35:32.559 --> 00:35:37.360 the time to take care of that and get back to helping us out as 497 00:35:37.360 --> 00:35:38.840 soon as I can and just being a part of this run we gotta make. 498 00:35:39.079 --> 00:35:42.599 I know, you're a big brother one way or the other. I 499 00:35:42.719 --> 00:35:45.840 know James Outman really leaned on you last year and at the beginning of this 500 00:35:46.039 --> 00:35:51.039 year, have you had a chance to talk to him because of your injury, 501 00:35:51.119 --> 00:35:53.920 he gets this opportunity. No, we hadn't talked too much. Well, 502 00:35:53.960 --> 00:35:57.199 I mean, we talked something yesterday, but we hadn't talked too much, 503 00:35:58.400 --> 00:36:01.559 you know. I guess about like the whole situation. More than happy 504 00:36:01.599 --> 00:36:05.519 to see great seeing you, you know, glad to have him back. 505 00:36:06.000 --> 00:36:07.800 I know he was, you know, he said likewise on great seeing me 506 00:36:07.960 --> 00:36:13.199 and grad to be back. You know this it's a silver lining thing, 507 00:36:13.400 --> 00:36:15.719 right because you hate to have anything be an injury or someone coming up or 508 00:36:15.760 --> 00:36:20.920 down. For that reason, the way I look at it is it's nice 509 00:36:20.920 --> 00:36:23.920 to have James out mean be the guy who's coming up, you know, 510 00:36:24.039 --> 00:36:29.360 to help us out and feel that void because you know, someone who obviously 511 00:36:29.559 --> 00:36:31.599 big part of our season last year still gonna be a big part of our 512 00:36:31.639 --> 00:36:36.360 season this year. You never know what it's gonna look like. So I 513 00:36:36.440 --> 00:36:38.239 think it's it's kind of nice, in my opinion, to have to be 514 00:36:38.360 --> 00:36:42.480 a situation where with I'm saying, hey, we really need you to come 515 00:36:42.559 --> 00:36:45.039 up right now on a spot, you know, with with a whole lot 516 00:36:45.039 --> 00:36:47.519 of pressure, like you've been playing amazing, now let's go do it. 517 00:36:47.719 --> 00:36:51.519 It's like, hey, something actually happened, Like let's go play baseball. 518 00:36:51.559 --> 00:36:52.960 Don't think you know, do your best to go out here and win baseball 519 00:36:53.039 --> 00:36:57.159 games, help the team win. And that's every bit of who he is. 520 00:36:57.280 --> 00:36:59.760 And hopefully he comes up and has fun with it. I think you 521 00:36:59.760 --> 00:37:04.760 will. And you know, we never take things for granted, you know, 522 00:37:05.239 --> 00:37:07.800 intentionally. I feel like when you go about I think it's the right 523 00:37:07.880 --> 00:37:09.800 way, which out he does. But I still think there's just that, 524 00:37:10.000 --> 00:37:13.760 you know, a little bit of you know, naturally somehow we kind of 525 00:37:13.760 --> 00:37:15.360 take things for granted. And I think he's gonna make the most of this 526 00:37:15.480 --> 00:37:20.360 new opportunity. You don't know what you have until it's gone right every time, 527 00:37:20.960 --> 00:37:22.679 every single time. And you know, I think it's awesome to see 528 00:37:22.719 --> 00:37:27.039 him back. Jason. Something you said a couple of nights ago still sticks 529 00:37:27.079 --> 00:37:30.880 with me. A lot of these younger guys are getting opportunities because of the 530 00:37:30.960 --> 00:37:35.239 injuries, and you said, maybe try not to do too much isn't that 531 00:37:35.360 --> 00:37:37.519 the case in baseball when things aren't going your way. It's not that you're 532 00:37:37.559 --> 00:37:42.800 not trying hard enough, you're trying too hard. Yeah, No, definitely, 533 00:37:43.159 --> 00:37:45.840 And that's it's so hard not to be trying too much, to do 534 00:37:45.960 --> 00:37:51.280 too much. It's it's very tough to mentally just say stay within myself and 535 00:37:51.440 --> 00:37:54.400 just go through the process compete. But that's the name of it. And 536 00:37:54.639 --> 00:37:59.719 you know, you get better with repetition. You take the feedback, you 537 00:38:00.079 --> 00:38:02.000 use that as going forward, and that's a beautiful thing about a season being 538 00:38:02.079 --> 00:38:06.719 this long as a as a baseball player. So you know, our young 539 00:38:06.760 --> 00:38:09.400 guys, I think have done in our standing job taking their lumps, how 540 00:38:09.400 --> 00:38:13.760 they've handled those, even in their successes, they still want to get better, 541 00:38:13.840 --> 00:38:15.800 and you know, it's really fun to have them around. Think our 542 00:38:15.840 --> 00:38:19.760 bests really appreciate what they bring to the table. All right, Jason, 543 00:38:19.840 --> 00:38:23.280 thanks a lot for the time. Appreciate you celebrating your bobblehead with us. 544 00:38:23.599 --> 00:38:29.119 There's a photo between you and Freddie Freeman's locker. I feel like next year 545 00:38:29.239 --> 00:38:32.800 we need a bobblehead of that photo. Hey, I can't control. I 546 00:38:32.920 --> 00:38:36.760 can't control next year. I could do my best of control right now. 547 00:38:36.920 --> 00:38:40.320 We wish you'll see how that goes. But all on no, I have 548 00:38:40.480 --> 00:38:45.079 said this before this year already. I hope hopefully next year, you know, 549 00:38:45.360 --> 00:38:49.559 we're all here celebrating something special, like a parade that we that we 550 00:38:49.679 --> 00:38:52.320 earn together as a group here in November, you know, at the at 551 00:38:52.360 --> 00:38:55.599 the end of the season, being the last last team standing. But you 552 00:38:55.639 --> 00:38:59.519 know, we'll see what happens. We things got to play out, we 553 00:38:59.559 --> 00:39:01.280 got to take care of business. But that would be an amazing thing to 554 00:39:01.280 --> 00:39:05.000 see. It would be beautiful. I'd love to be there with you. 555 00:39:05.360 --> 00:39:07.480 Thanks a lot for the time and enjoy your family on a special day. 556 00:39:07.679 --> 00:39:09.800 Thank you, David, appreciate you.

Before first pitch, we head back out to 607 00:42:57.079 --> 00:43:00.639 the booth rick Monday tip never guys, thanks again as we count it out 608 00:43:00.679 --> 00:43:05.440 of the first pitch at Dodgers Stadium. It's the Brewers and the Dodgers, 609 00:43:05.519 --> 00:43:08.360 Game two, Dodgers taking the first one, looking for a series victory. 610 00:43:08.400 --> 00:43:14.559 Here this afternoon and this game time necessitated by this being the quote unquote a 611 00:43:14.760 --> 00:43:17.119 game. Most of the country will see this game on national television. You'll 612 00:43:17.119 --> 00:43:21.239 hear it right here on radio, no matter where you happen to be on 613 00:43:21.400 --> 00:43:25.920 this very warm Saturday afternoon around the country. As far as James Paxton is 614 00:43:25.960 --> 00:43:31.159 concerned, a seven and two record, the left hander faces the Brewers for 615 00:43:31.239 --> 00:43:35.440 the very first time in his career. The only other team he's never faced 616 00:43:35.639 --> 00:43:37.239 the Marlins. He's been around a long time, so you figure he's going 617 00:43:37.280 --> 00:43:43.559 to get to all of them eventually. But the last start career worst in 618 00:43:43.679 --> 00:43:47.400 terms of earn runs allowed, with nine hits allowed with twelve against the Giants 619 00:43:47.440 --> 00:43:51.239 and today looking for a big time bounce back. And that outing against the 620 00:43:51.320 --> 00:43:53.320 Giants that was only in four innings. A lot of damage was done. 621 00:43:53.400 --> 00:43:58.960 Twelve hits, one home run. He only had four strength as he threw 622 00:43:59.039 --> 00:44:01.639 eighty nine pitches in those four innings. You know he has really been spot 623 00:44:01.719 --> 00:44:06.159 on at home. He's three and oh in the five starts. Most of 624 00:44:06.239 --> 00:44:08.880 the action for Paxston has been on the road. He's made ten starts on 625 00:44:08.960 --> 00:44:14.280 the road, where he's four and two and almost double the earned rent average 626 00:44:14.480 --> 00:44:17.440 when he's away from Dodger Stadium. One thing about Paxton, he's had trouble 627 00:44:17.519 --> 00:44:22.079 with runners in scoring position over a three hundred batting average. We'll find out 628 00:44:22.079 --> 00:44:24.840 about the curve ball. The reason I mentioned the curve ball tim he's allowed 629 00:44:24.960 --> 00:44:29.920 just a one ninety four against the hook and he throws at almost thirty percent 630 00:44:30.000 --> 00:44:34.440 of the time. Freddy Peralta the number one starter for the Brewers, going 631 00:44:34.559 --> 00:44:37.199 for the eighteenth time. The Brewers are twelve and five when he starts. 632 00:44:37.280 --> 00:44:42.880 You look at his splits lefties and righties. Left handers hitting two fourteen against 633 00:44:42.960 --> 00:44:45.519 him, right handers hitting two to eleven against him, and those are in 634 00:44:45.840 --> 00:44:50.119 similar number of at bats. It's not at bat heavy one side or another. 635 00:44:50.280 --> 00:44:52.960 No, it's not one thing with Peralta. He likes to elevate the 636 00:44:52.079 --> 00:44:57.679 fastball. One hundred and twenty strikeouts and seventy two of those are on the 637 00:44:57.800 --> 00:45:00.639 fastball. Again, he'll try and get you to chase it upstairs. He 638 00:45:00.719 --> 00:45:02.599 has some gidda up upstairs on top of it. Here's the other part too, 639 00:45:04.039 --> 00:45:07.199 a good change up. In fact, when you look at the hitters 640 00:45:07.320 --> 00:45:10.719 with two strengths, Peralta has them, oh for the last twenty five with 641 00:45:10.840 --> 00:45:15.159 two strengths. When he's thrown the off speed change up. James Paxton against 642 00:45:15.159 --> 00:45:20.119 Freddy Peralta. That's the matchup here this afternoon in Game two from some splashed 643 00:45:20.320 --> 00:45:23.280 Dodgers stadium tim All right, don't forget after the game, David Bessay has 644 00:45:23.320 --> 00:45:28.800 got you covered with all the postgame highlights, reaction from the clubhouse manager Dave 645 00:45:28.920 --> 00:45:32.719 Roberts, and of course Dodger talk as well, Dodgers and Brewers.
