And now your host for Morongo Casino Dodgers on Deck. Tam kayse Hi everybody,
and welcome in in too. Morongo Casino Dodgers on Deck. Hope you're
enjoying your Wednesday afternoon. Obviously a lot better after the Dodgers come from behind
win last night. Dodgers now forty six and twenty nine on this season,
first place atop the NL West. They start the night with a nine game
lead in the division, and last night they took game two of this four
game set against the Colorado Rockies in dramatic fashion with a big ninth inning to
come back and beat the Rockies. Tonight they look to make it three straight
in the Mile High City. Bobby Miller, fresh off the injured list,
is on the mound as he returns. First pitch from Corsefield is coming up
at five forty coming up. Over the next hour here on Moroco Casino Dodgers
on Deck, you will hear from the manager, Dave Roberts will dive deeper
into this pitching match. David Vasso goes one on one with Max Mounsey.
Shortly we'll check in with Kirsten Watson. We'll get you an injury updated is
Walker Bueher is headed back to the IL in just a few minutes. We'll
check in well, Rick Monday and Tim Neverett out the Galpin Motors broadcast booth.
Well, speaking of Walker Buehler, last night's it couldn't have gone worse
for the young right hander. Coming back from Tommy John surgery has not been
easy for Bueller last night. He gave up runs early and often. In
the bottom of the first, he gave up four. In the bottom of
the second, he gave up two more. Walker Buehler would go four innings,
give up seven earned runs, all of which were earned, struck out
two a couple of home runs. He gets pulled after four innings with the
Dodgers down seven to two. The Dodgers continued to trail most of the game.
They went into the sixth inning with Shoey O'tani hitting a home run deep
to center field four hundred and seventy six feet, but that just made an
eight seven to three Rockies great lead. They're up eight to three after six.
Miguel Vargas doubled to left that scored Keiky Hernandez in the seventh, as
the Dodgers got to with eight to four, but the Rockies would answer back
in the bottom of the seventh to make an eight nine to four lead,
and that's what it remained going to the ninth inning last night, when everything
changed for the Dodgers. Andy pat has a lead off walk, Miguel Rojas
singled to write. Two batters later, Miguel Vargas loaded the bases for Jason
Hayward on the right handers two two, Offer to your Jason Hayward swing out
in hamberd the right field. This bone is back, this bone is done
off the foul pole. A grand slam for Jay Hey, the fourth career
grand slamper Hayward, and the Dodgers are within a run. It's nine to
eight. Oh can you believe it? Jason Hayward with the ninth penning grand
slam and the Dodgers just one run behind and Otani coming up. Dodgers down
nine to eight. After the grand slam by Jason Hayward, still only one
out Showy O'tani. The next batter single to the left. Will Smith struck
out looking so two down. Runner on Freddie Freeman was intentionally walked. So
now two on two out for they Oscar ball game in the balance right here
two two swung on hitting the air right center field and Date this ball heading
back. This ball's gone, it's gone, It's gone. A three run
home run ty Oscar hood on us and the Dodgers have come all the way
back to take the lead. Oh my goodness, absolutely incredible. It's eleven
to nine as the Dodgers down to their last strike, strike big time as
tay Oskar hits his eighteenth home run of the year. What a comeback seven
runs at the top of the ninth, Jason Hayward of the Grand Slam tae
Oscar Hernandez the two out, three run home run. Alex Vessi would pitch
the bottom of the ninth. Dodgers come all the way back and beat the
Colorado Rockies last night by a final of eleven to nine. Michael Peterson gets
his first win in the big leagues after getting called up yesterday. Alex Vesia
gets this hold. Evan Phillips will get the final out to get the save
as eleventh as the Dodgers have now won two straight in Denver, three straight
overall. The Dodgers now forty six and twenty nine on this season, and
tonight they look to keep the magic going. With Bobby Miller on the mound,
first pitch at five forty with more, let's head out to the Galpa
Motors broadcast booth as we welcome in Rick Monday and Tim Nefverritt. Guys,
thanks very much. Tim's going to be a very pleasant evening here in the
lower downtown section of Denver, Colorado. Of course, field the Dodgers and
the Rockies. Game three of this four game series. The Dodgers forty six
and twenty nine and with the Giants and Diamondbacks losing today the Padres winning.
The Dodgers start this game nine and a half up on both San Diego and
Arizona, ten up on the Giants. Meantime, the Rockies twenty five and
forty eight. They are twenty games off the pace in the National League Western
Division. Bobby Miller comes off the injured list. Walker Bueller goes on the
injured list, so that is the roster move today. But Bobby Miller will
pitch the right hander one and one. He'll make his fourth start of the
season. Ryan Feltner will go for the Rockies. He's one in six with
an ERA of nearly six. Lost both his starts of the Dodgers last year.
But where do we begin today? MO? Last night the big comeback
win a game in which you know, the Dodgers probably eight times nine times
out of ten, are not going to win a game where you're down five
in the ninth but they somehow, some found a way to scratch it out
and pound it out with a grand Slam and three run home run on the
same inning. I don't know how you're going to top that one that we
saw last night. How many times did I say during the broadcast? What
is the safe lead? In his ballpark? By the way, that's not
the first time that those questions have ever been presented. That's kind of the
theme song here in this ballpark. But Elias Sports came out and said,
the last time the Dodgers overcame a deficit of five or more runs in the
ninth inning or later, you have to go back to July eighteenth, nineteen
fifty seven against Saint Louis. So what we saw last night was really kind
of overwhelming, including the Dodgers the first team in Major League Baseball history they
hit both a grand Slam and a three run home run in the ninth inning
in the game that they were trailing in that ninth inning never happened in the
Los Angeles era of the Dodger organization. Yeah, well, here we go
with eras and every time you come to the ballpark, you expect to maybe
to see something you had never seen before, and what the Rockies will like
to see that they haven't seen too much of recently. In the history of
them against the Dodgers is a win because you go back to twenty eighteen,
the Dodgers are now seventy three and thirty two against the Rockies when they had
tangled the Dodgers again facing Feldner to start, but they would love more than
anything to get back into that Rockies bullpen. As of today, the Rockies
bullpen collectively have an ERA of eight seventy five, that's fifty nine earned runs
over sixty and two thirds innings pitched, and opponents in the month of June
hitting three thirty two against them. Yeah, last night a difference in interpretation.
Was it a check swing strike on Tiascar Hernandez or was it not a
check swing and strike? Well, it was. The very next pitch is
a three run home run. And I thought that Tiascar Hernanas after the ballgame
kind of summed up the fact that Dodgers had turned things. You know,
from May tenth to the June fifth, they weren't playing particularly good baseball.
They were at five hundred. Since that time, they played much better baseball
and scored more runs per game. And hernet Is last night after the game,
it says, look, we have really understood that we can and here's
the quote, don't give away at bats, and that's exactly what they were
able to do last night. In the ninth then he with all the chips
on the table, Well, Tani and Freeman going to hit back to back
with the show Hey leading off. He's five for ten as the leadoff hitter
for the Dodgers the last two games, and the Austin Barnes getting the start
behind the plate Dodgers forty six and twenty nine, the Rockies twenty five and
forty eight. Bobby Miller comes off the il to make a start tonight here
in Colorado opposite Ryan Feltner of the Rockies. First pitch, not too far
away, Tim, all right, as we count you down to first pitch,

Last night, want a comeback win for the Dodgers, Karson, and
it kind of erased what was a well subpar outing from Walker Bueller, and
today Walker Bueller goes on the il. Yeah. And you know, even
with talking to Walker last night after the game, he even said that,
you know, that's the thing about games like yesterday, he kind of felt
like he wasn't even the storyline anymore. It was more about Michael Peterson who
got his first career win and things like that, and just the comeback the
Grand slagh on Tioscar's home run. So you're right, it did definitely take
a turn. But you know, one of the key storylines of yesterday was
Walker Bueller and how he has been in a situation where he's experienced a lot
of frustration because he's been trying to be that guy he's used to being,
but some of the pitches just haven't been necessarily they're not striking like they I
don't know if I should use words striking because obviously strikes, but like they're
not playing how he wants them to. And so he had told us after
the game that there has been some conversation that at some point he was going
to have a stopdown. Well, yesterday in the outing he got hit by
a comebacker and his hip and they went to check on him. He was
fine, and I don't know if you remember, but if you go now
two starts ago, Dave Roberts and the training staff had gone to check on
him on the mound. He kind of was like, I'm fine, and
you can see a little bit of frustration with him, but he was kind
of shaking out his leg and his hip area. So this is not the
first time his hip has been bothering him this year. And so Dave was
saying after being hit yesterday, with just looking at some of the pitching results,
it just made sense that right now for him to go on the IL,
this will give him time to heal his hip to get that in a
really good spot, and then it will give him time to also work through
a few things mechanically in regard to his pitching. So there's no timeline as
to what this ale stick is going to look like. It really just depends
on what Walker needs well. As I mentioned, to heal the hip to
make sure that's in a good spot. So that he's fully strong and one
hundred percent health wise, and then for him to work through the mechanical things
he needs to in regard to pitching so that he can be that competitive pitcher
that a set he wants to be to get back into a good spot,
because most importantly, he wants to be ready to come October because he wants
to be one of the guys to help this team win. So in order
for him to do that, he's got to get back on track. And
so that's what this time is going to be for for him real quick.
Tonight, Bobby Miller on the mound makes his return off the injured list.
I know you talked to him yesterday on the pregame on Sports and at LA.
What do we expect? Yeah, so you know, there's not necessarily
a specific pitch count for him. He is built up, so obviously depending
on the stress of the innings that Dave will be very mindful of that.
But he told me yesterday that he feels one hundred percent the shoulder, so
soreness he believes something in the past, so he's he's in a really good
spot. Obviously, with rehab assignments, sometimes the results you're not gonna necessarily
see them. It's just the miners is a different game. So for him
to be back at the big league level, Dave expects some really good stuff.
Bobby expects some good stuff. So hopefully, yes, he's got to
battle the elements. But hey, he's like, check my stats. I
played well last year here, So we'll see what he can do today.
Let's get a good start out at him, no doubt. Kirsten appreciate it.
We'll check it with you after the game. Brought to by Cars for

the pregame thoughts of the manager, Dave Roberts. It's the Dodgers and Rockies

Also more coming up from Max Munsey himself will joined David Vesse coming up
in about twenty minutes. All right, let's check you out the Dodger skipper,
anything else? The questions for Dave Dave? Can you just describe Dave?
Can you talk about the pressure in the dugouts with Dave Roberts? All
right, Dave, Bobby Miller, I know we talked about him a little
bit yesterday just regards to kind of stress of the innings. But what are
you hoping to see from him? And just with this return coming off with
I L and making sure just he's in a good spot to kind of continue
out the rest of this season. You know, I think it's just go
out there and attack these guys. The stuff is good, the health is
good. You know, on rehab or he's been on rehab, so it's
hard to really compare rehab assignments to when you get in a big league game.
You know, these guys are going to be ready to come out swinging,
and so for me, it's just attack the strike zone and put that
ball in play. And I was talking to him. He was saying,
how with that shoulder sword and he started feeling after South Korea, But there
wasn't anything in specific. It necessarily led to it, is that something that
you guys are going to have to be mindful of? Just as he continues,
you know, I think it's I don't think it'll be front of mine,
but certainly given that that's the reason he went on the IL, it'll
be kind of a thought, but that should be behind us. And that's
why I think we've done a good job of taking it slow and being really
methodical in getting them back here. All right, there's Dave Roberts talking about
Bobby Miller and getting the start tonight, coming off the injured list, Walker
Bueler goes back on the injured list. Brought to you by Service Titan.

on Deck. I accept everybody for who they are. This is Dodger insider
David Basse. All right, DV. Last night, what a game.
Rick and Tim kept talking about it, even as the Rockies were extending their
league. It's games, not all or it's Corsefield. You've been there first,
had many of the times you've seen this happen. The Dodgers have come
back and won a baseball game. But last night, what a game.
Yeah, it really was. And I mentioned this earlier today Tim. It
reminded me of the Andrew Toles game back in twenty sixteen, when the Dodgers
were down six runs going into the eighth inning. They scored three in the
eighth and Tolls hit a grand slam to put the Dodgers ahead, and they
went on to make a big comeback that night. But certainly we hadn't seen
anything like last night since nineteen fifty seven. That's the last time the Dodgers
came back being down five runs or more in the ninth inning. And Jason
Hayward was a huge part of it. A pinchick grand slam, the first
time in his career he has done that, and he spoke to sports net
LA after the game last night. Yeah, I wasn't sure. I wasn't
sure if that was going to start fair or not. It's so maybe that
helped him straighten out a little bit. But giving that it was a slider
as well and the location it was, it was definitely a tough pitch to
keep fair. Obviously it hit off the pole, but I thought it stayed
fair long enough. I was like, come on, squeak nd squeakend and
then it hit out the poles. All right, we're good. Yeah,
the Dodgers were good. And can you believe the last time the Dodgers had
a Pinchhick Grand Slam? It was all the way back not too far.
June twenty third, twenty eighteen, Matt Kemp hit a Pinchick Grand Slam in
his second tenure with the team. David is driven by the Ford F Series,

Ford dealers and find yours Ford F Series built Tough Walker Bueler is a tough
guy DV, but he's been through a lot the last couple of years,
missed two seasons after his second Tommy John surgery. He's worked his way back,
he's made some starts. Last night didn't go his way, and now
he's back on the injured list with a hit problem. Yeah, I guess
it's a little bit of a bruise there, and really, tim, it's
not as much about the hip as it is a great opportunity for Walker Buehler
to reset. I'm not saying that he's not heard hurt or feeling soreness back
there. But it also gives the Dodgers a chance to be cautious with Bueller,
to put him on the IL and for him to regroup because he has
been searching and each one of these eight starts and it feels like he has
to recalibrate who he is right now and more importantly, stop searching by believing
in himself. There's not a lot of conviction behind his pitches, so hopefully
this time off can help him reset and be better down the stretch. You
know, at some point there's you know, we've thought about kind of taking
a blow, taking a month off, taking a week out, whatever,
trying to figure out how to kind of get me reset and you know,
maybe that's coming, maybe not. I don't know. Uh, you know,
we'll see. You know, it sucks to feel kind of invaluable or
like you're hampering your team, and you know, at the end of the
day, we really like our team and want to be ready for the end
of the year, and I'm gonna kind of do whatever I need to do
to feel like I can help our team in, you know, at the
end of the year and do everything in my power to be valuable enough to
be on those rosters. All right, Yeah, so you heard it from
Walker Bueller. Doesn't sound like a guy that's hurt that badly. It's more
about regrouping. Well, hopefully he can regroup and come back better than never.
DV. We appreciate you'll be back better than ever. With Max Munsey
coming up in less than fifteen minutes, Dodger fans, don't go anywhere you

and World Series champion Dodger Rick Monday, Well, Rick Monday has seen a
lot of Dodger and baseball history last night just add another one to the list.
David David, David, you never know what you're going to see when
you come to the ballpark, or listen to a game from a ballpark,
or watch a game from the ballpark. Because Elias Sports comes out with this
one last night after the Dodgers. They say it was a thrilling comfort behind
victory as an understatement, coming up with seven runs in the ninth inning to
win at eleven to nine. But according to Elias, the last time the
Dodgers overcame a deficit of five or more runs in the ninth inning or later
with July eighteenth, nineteen fifty seven against Saint Louis. So we saw history
repeated in last night's ballgame. And the other part too, is the Dodgers
the first team in Major League Baseball history to hit a grand Slam and a
three run home run in the ninth inning while trailing in the ballgame. I
believe that, and the fans enjoyed Tim Neverritt's calls. Both home runs,
the Grand Slam and the go ahead home run. Were you concerned about Tim's
help when he was making those calls? Hey, let me just say this.
If the fans were really enjoying the call of Tim Neverett, let me
tell you something, there's nobody that enjoyed it more than Tim Neverett, because
I just told Jack Corgan it was the broadcaster for the Rockies Radio. At
the end of the little conversation we had, I said one thing that we
understand coming into Coupis Field, Dodgers in the Rockies, even doing a broadcast,
you might want to go ahead and buckle up a seat belt. And
never could have used the seat belt last night. And he's to my right
as we were talking right now and just kind of nodding. It was a
magical moment for a broadcaster to be able to call that, because, Hey,
the Dodgers took the ninth inning trailing big time and they wind up with
just an incredible and incredible ninth inning to overtake the Rockies. I guess they
did what we've been talking about, Rick passing the baton to set up both
Hayward and Hernandez to hit those home runs. You know, I'm glad you
brought that up because Taskar Hernandez after the ballgame in the locker room was asked
about, what is it that this club has now turned things around and starting
to play much better, and he goes, look, the overall description of
the attitude that they talk about is it don't throw away at bats. In
other words, don't take them for granted. Don't just go up there and
say, okay, fine, I get three strikes, boom, go sit
down. Do not roll away at bats. They did not do it last
night with the game on the line. Two nights ago, rick I felt
like Will Smith embodied what you just said, Taoscar reflected because the game was
a blowout ninth inning and Will Smith is battling for a twelve pitch at bat.
Yeah, absolutely, and battling and battling and battling. It does a
couple of things. Hey, he kept getting closer and closer to really making
good contact. The other part two is it puts extra strain on the pitcher
at that particular moment. It also gives the rest of your teammates opportunities to
size up what this guy is doing, including if it's just the velocity or
if it's the pitch sequencing. Is he getting the curve bowl over? Is
he not getting the curve bowl over? Is he doubling up with the curve
bow when he has a strength? Just little things, little nuances that you
try and pick up as the game is progressing. So you know, it
was a nice victory for the Dodgers. Did Tiascar Hernanez actually check his swing
in time not to be called strike three? Or I looked at the replay,
couldn't really tell live looking at it on the replay, I think to
askar her name has got the benefit of the doubt and the Dodgers over the
years, you start to think back, they've had a history against the San
Francisco Giants in recent memory in postseason in the games, a game that was
won because of a check swing and a game that was lost because interpretation of
a check swing. Hey, the Dodgers will take it all around tonight,
though, Bobby Miller making his first start since April tenth. I know he's
been telling me how anxious he has been to get back, even if it
is at course field. Yeah, and if Bobby Miller goes three innings or
four innings, I think that will suffice the question is how he comes back.
I don't know of a bigger question for Bobby Miller than what the question
now remains with Walker Buehller. After Bueller last night wound up going four innings,
seven runs on seven hits, two home runs in his eighth start.
Was not really or ninth start is not really a glowing start itself. Luckily
the Dodgers picked him up so he can find a way to regroup, that's
for sure. Rick, We're not searching here. We're very focused and we
have a goal. Thanks a lot. Rick, Hey, David, take
care. We'll talk to you. Talk to you tomorrow in the pregame.
All right, sounds good early wake up call for the Dodgers at Coors Field.

their third baseman, Max Muncie. You don't know what you have until it's
gone. And we're joined right now by Max Munsey, who has a lot
of time on his hands. So that's the reason why I've been able to
track him down. He can't run away these days. Thanks a lot for
the time. Don't let David Foy. He bribed me to be here,
no doubt, and that'll come at the end. But I know you're really
frustrated with the way things have gone with this oblique injury. How have you
tried to keep yourself saying? You just try to stay as locked in with
the team as you can. You know, you try to be as as
involved as you're allowed to be. And you know, for me, that's
just you know, you're you're in the group chat when the Hitters meetings are
going on, you're listening to the Hitters meetings, You're listening to the approach,
and you know you have history of some of these guys, and so
it's you know, try to offer up anything you've got. And you know,
for for someone like Show who's spending the American League for all these years,
it's always good for him to hear, you know, stuff on you
know, National League guys and maybe he's never faced before. So I just
I try to help out any way I can, and I don't really feel
like I'm actually doing anything, but that's just the best way I can stay
as involved as I can be. Right, I've heard players say this when
they're on the iel, they don't feel as a big a part of the
because the disappointment of being hurt. But this seems to be a way where
you can still stay plugged in and like you said, help in any way
you can. Yeah, you know, Unfortunately our schedule wasn't the most ideal
for me. You know, it's obviously in every ideal getting hurt, but
this is where our schedule was. We've been on the road the majority of
the time that I've been hurt, and you know, when when you're rehabbing,
you don't you don't get the travel with the team. So that's been
a frustrating one for me. It's been nice having time at home with family,
but you know, for me, like I want to be out there
in the field. I want to be playing, I want to be at
the boys, and it's just a I'm very thankful for my time with my
family, but at the same time, I want to be back out there
playing, no doubt, that's what dad does, plays baseball and plays it
at a high level. Where are we in this process to maybe ce Max
month Seed back, not entirely sure, you know, things just aren't rebounding
as well as we've been wanting them to. And you know, we're trying
to slow play it and you know, just make sure that we're we're good
to go one hundred percent. That way, we don't have any setbacks,
we won't have any you know, lingering effects. And it's just, you
know, it's taking longer than any of us expected, especially considering it was
something that at the beginning we thought might not even have to go on the
IL for. And it's just, you know, it hasn't gone away,
and it's it's been extremely frustrating for me and everyone involved. We've been trying
to do everything that we can, and uh, you know, for me,
that could be something along the lines of I've been trying to do too
much, you know, you know me, I fight through a lot of
stuff and I've been trying as hard as I can to get back, and
that could be something that's not allowing me to bounce back as fresh as that
I'm maybe doing too much. But it's you know, we're doing what we
can. We don't know what the timetable is yet, but we're hoping we'll
be out there at some point. Max Muncie is our guest. Max.
I've said this a few times on the post game show. You don't know
what you have until it's gone, and you don't realize the value of players,
especially a guy like yourself, and how you're not just an individual,
but you're part of an extended lineup, a group of nine. Do you
you see that? Do you feel like people realize that now? Well,
I've always felt for me, you know, I know my numbers are whatever
they are, but for the bats that I have, I've always felt like
that's something that helps a team out tremendously. Yeah. You know, you
have certain guys that want to go out there and swing early in the account
and that's who they are, that's what makes them successful. And then you
have certain guys that work balncy of certain guys that just put together at bats.
And you know, for me, when you have me in that lineup,
it allows everyone else to be themselves instead of everyone else trying to make
up for that. Yeah, you know, I don't know what my exact
number is, but I know it's something that I see close to five six.
I average five six pitches in the bat. Yeah, and that's quite
a lot of pitches when you when you're talking about the course of a game,
and that allows other guys to just be themselves and not have to worry
about should I be taking a pitch he? Or should I be swinging?
Should I should I be taking a strike? And you know, that's something
that I've always taken pride in is that, uh, you know, if
someone's in front of me, and you know when when whenever you're leading off
an inning, you always you always go to the guy that's that's on deck
and you say, hey, I'm gonna be aggressive he or be ready,
or hey, I'm probably gonna see one. You're always talking to the guy,
and you know when you when you have me in there, it's like
that always allows people to just kind of be themselves and say, hey,
I want to be aggressive height here, and I'm always like, yeah,
go for it. I don't mind taking a strike, I don't mind taking
two strikes. That doesn't really bother me. I know my numbers don't always
look the best, but I just feel like being being able to put together
those at bats it allows other people to be themselves and that makes a huge
difference in a lineup. Thanks a lot for the time. Great to see
you, and I know this is tough, This whole thing is tough,
but like I said, I think Dodger fans appreciate you even more now.
Thanks a lot. I appreciate it. And yeah, don't worry, I'm
gonna collect on that bribe that you had to get me out here. There.

you down to the first pitch. Dodgers and Rockies Bobby Miller one on one
in a five to four zero era. Right shoulder inflammation put him on the
shelf for two months. He has had four rehab starts in the minor leagues,
two with Rancho Cucamonga and two with TRIPAA Oklahoma City. The numbers,
according to Dave Roberts and according to your own eyes when you look at him,
they were not very good. In the minor leagues. There are mitigating
factors sometimes as to what the numbers can be and why they are the way
they are. But the Dodgers are ready to have Miller start this one tonight.
Command to the strike zone one of the things to be looking at.
You know, those six starts in the rehab were not really overwhelming, so
for Miller trying to get back on track for the twenty five year old six
foot five right hander, and the Dodgers also have to figure out about Ryan
Feldner in his career against the Dodgers three starts plus one relief he's one and
two. But for Felter, one of the things that he does well,
he has that good fastball. If he goes to the changeup, that's going
to be interesting. The reason is, looking at some numbers, his change
up that he throws almost fifteen percent of the time, is given up a
three point eighty one batting average against. The question is why does he continue
to throw it? Good question we'll find out as we go on tonight.
Ryan Feldner Bobby Miller. The pitching matchup Clayton Kershaw pitching for the Dodgers in
Rancho Ku Kamanga tonight, and we'll keep you up to date on what he
is doing in his three innings of work in his first rehab start. That's
on the way meantime, Dodgers and Rocky is getting ready to start this one
at Coursfield. Tim all Right, Game three of this four game set.
Bobby Miller back on the great to have him back. Been on the injured
list since the middle of April, his last start April tenth. He is
back walk revealer. He goes on the injured list not because of an arm
issue, but a sore hip. He needs to get a little extended rests.
Hopefully he can come back and be better than ever. Bobby Miller,
we'll see what he's got tonight in his first start over two months. Ryan
Feldner Bobby Miller, Dodgers Rockies, Game three of this four game set,
and the magic continue after that. Ninth and last night, we'll find out
Showy o'tani will e leade things off of the Dodgers when we come back.
