00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:08.599
And now your host for Marongo Casino
Dodgers on Deck. Damn cays Well everybody,

2
00:00:08.640 --> 00:00:13.240
and welcome in to mo Ronggo Casino
Dodgers on Deck. Hope you're enjoying

3
00:00:13.240 --> 00:00:20.320
this hot Saturday afternoon early evening here
in southern California. The temperature is certainly

4
00:00:20.480 --> 00:00:25.079
rising here in Los Angeles. You're
Los Angeles Dodgers forty seven and thirty one

5
00:00:25.120 --> 00:00:28.800
on the season, first place atop
the NL West. After dropping in the

6
00:00:28.839 --> 00:00:32.600
series opener to the Angels last night
at extra innings, the Dodgers look to

7
00:00:32.640 --> 00:00:36.399
get back on track tonight and finished
with a split with the Halos tonight.

8
00:00:36.520 --> 00:00:39.960
Tyler Glass now on the mound,
first pitch coming up at seven to ten

9
00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:43.399
as the Dodgers. When there's city
connected uniforms coming up. Over the next

10
00:00:43.439 --> 00:00:47.799
hour. Here on Marongo Casino Dodgers
on Deck, you will hear from Dodger

11
00:00:47.880 --> 00:00:52.079
manager Dave Roberts, will dive deeper
into this pitching matchup. David Vase goes

12
00:00:52.159 --> 00:00:56.359
one on one with Chris Taylor.
You also hear from show Hey Otani will

13
00:00:56.359 --> 00:00:59.759
get you an injury report, your
magical moment of the day, and it's

14
00:00:59.759 --> 00:01:02.799
just a few minutes, we'll check
in with Rick Monday and Tim Neverte at

15
00:01:02.840 --> 00:01:07.840
the Gallvin Motors Broadcast booth. Well
last night at the Ravine landon Neck was

16
00:01:07.959 --> 00:01:11.959
solid for five innings, but the
Dodgers just didn't give him enough offense.

17
00:01:11.319 --> 00:01:15.959
The young right hander, called up
from TRIPAA, Oklahoma City, making his

18
00:01:15.079 --> 00:01:19.439
fifth start in the Big leagues this
year. Five shutout innings. He scattered

19
00:01:19.439 --> 00:01:25.000
two hit, struck out two,
walk to through seventy three pitches. Seemed

20
00:01:25.040 --> 00:01:27.799
to be going for the first couple
of innings and got into a groove through

21
00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:32.400
five. The Dodgers' offense, meanwhile, took a couple of turns through the

22
00:01:32.439 --> 00:01:36.000
lineup to get going. Finally,
in the bottom half of the fifth inning

23
00:01:36.040 --> 00:01:40.959
with two outs, Austin Barnes with
a flare to left base hit with two

24
00:01:41.000 --> 00:01:45.200
outs that brought up shoey Otani.
Joey Otani doing a good job here in

25
00:01:45.319 --> 00:01:52.519
June. Over the course of his
career. In June, he's a three

26
00:01:52.719 --> 00:01:59.480
thirty hitter and the one one swang
I'm well hit the center. This spaws

27
00:01:59.560 --> 00:02:06.000
where back in god home run number
twenty two, of course, show hey

28
00:02:06.040 --> 00:02:10.199
o'tani the National League lad in home
runs and the Dodgers lead at two to

29
00:02:10.280 --> 00:02:17.879
nothing, an absolutely majestic blast the
center field and o'toni strikes again. Show

30
00:02:17.919 --> 00:02:22.319
hey o'tani with the home run.
In the month of June. Since June

31
00:02:22.360 --> 00:02:25.240
sixteenth, he ranks second in baseball
hitting five to twenty two. He's got

32
00:02:25.240 --> 00:02:29.919
five home runs and eleven RVII.
That one home run number twenty two,

33
00:02:30.039 --> 00:02:34.120
four hundred and fifty five feet into
center field to run home run, Dodgers

34
00:02:34.120 --> 00:02:36.599
on the board two to nothing,
and that's the top tier play of the

35
00:02:36.599 --> 00:02:39.840
game sponsored by Arco Quality, top
tier gas for less. The lead though

36
00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:44.520
didn't last long. Landon Knack would
leave the game after five and it's with

37
00:02:44.599 --> 00:02:47.719
the lead incomes Ryan Yarborough and he
was a mess in the sixth inning.

38
00:02:47.960 --> 00:02:52.400
Hits the first battery he faces,
then a base hit two batters later,

39
00:02:52.520 --> 00:02:55.360
hits another batter, then hits a
third batter in the sixth thinning to bring

40
00:02:55.400 --> 00:02:59.759
in the first run for the Angels. It was a two to one Dodgers

41
00:03:00.520 --> 00:03:05.319
and then he gives up a RBI
ground out to Mickey Moniak that tied the

42
00:03:05.319 --> 00:03:08.599
game at two. Hit three batters, gave up two runs, gave up

43
00:03:08.599 --> 00:03:13.039
the lead. Dodgers and Angels were
tied at two. They went to extra

44
00:03:13.080 --> 00:03:15.120
innings last night. The Angels in
the top of the tenth with the free

45
00:03:15.159 --> 00:03:20.840
runner able to get Taylor Ward in
with an RBI single score in a run.

46
00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:23.960
The Dodgers in the bottom half of
the tenth inning had a runner at

47
00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:29.439
third base with one out. Kiky
Hernandez struck out and then Gavin Lux struck

48
00:03:29.479 --> 00:03:34.199
out Tye and run ninety feet away
and nothing he could do. Angels and

49
00:03:34.319 --> 00:03:38.639
ten innings last night beat the Dodgers
three to two. Luis Garcia against the

50
00:03:38.639 --> 00:03:42.919
winning relief Evan Phillips. Against the
loss, the Angels improved to thirty and

51
00:03:43.000 --> 00:03:46.360
forty five. Dodgers fall to forty
seven and thirty one. Tonight, Game

52
00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:51.879
two of this brief two game freeway
series. Tyler Glass now on the mound,

53
00:03:52.120 --> 00:03:54.039
first pitch coming up at seven to
ten and with more let's head out

54
00:03:54.039 --> 00:03:59.199
to the gallupin Motors broadcast both as
we say hello to Rick Bunday and Tim

55
00:03:59.199 --> 00:04:01.599
Neffert. Guys, Tim, thanks
again, warm and clear night here at

56
00:04:01.599 --> 00:04:05.479
Dodgers Stadium. Beautiful evening for a
baseball game. The Dodgers trying to get

57
00:04:05.520 --> 00:04:11.960
back in the win column and they'll
do that behind Tyler Glasnow. Glass Now

58
00:04:12.360 --> 00:04:16.920
making his sixteenth start of the season
for the Dodgers, and as far as

59
00:04:16.959 --> 00:04:21.879
glass Now is concerned, his record
to start action tonight seven and five with

60
00:04:21.959 --> 00:04:27.720
a three ERA. Zach Pleisach makes
his second big league start this year for

61
00:04:27.800 --> 00:04:30.040
the Angels. The right hander is
one to zero with a four to fifty

62
00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:35.160
earned run average. Last night show, Hey O'tani was a one man show,

63
00:04:35.519 --> 00:04:39.279
but he was the only guy who
got anything done. The rest of

64
00:04:39.319 --> 00:04:43.000
the Dodger lineup was pretty much shut
down. Otani was on base all four

65
00:04:43.120 --> 00:04:46.279
times, walks, each of the
first two advanced, and the two run

66
00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:48.120
home runner of the fifth had a
single in that eighth inning. But the

67
00:04:48.160 --> 00:04:51.160
Dodgers again him. They've had difficulty
if you look back the last number of

68
00:04:51.240 --> 00:04:55.639
years, in extra innings, and
they lose it in ten last night by

69
00:04:55.639 --> 00:04:59.920
I scored a three to two just
having difficulty in moving and advancing that runner

70
00:05:00.279 --> 00:05:03.680
and then picking them up from third. Shoho Tani woke up this morning leading

71
00:05:03.720 --> 00:05:08.360
Major League Baseball and batting average at
three twenty two. He leads the National

72
00:05:08.439 --> 00:05:13.040
League in home runs with twenty two. He leads the National League in slugging

73
00:05:13.079 --> 00:05:17.199
percentage and ops and also in run
scored with sixty. He has been on

74
00:05:17.319 --> 00:05:20.839
fire lately and that's certainly something the
Dodgers want to take advantage of tonight.

75
00:05:20.920 --> 00:05:24.920
Well, you miss a mookie bench, there's no if ens and butts,

76
00:05:24.920 --> 00:05:28.319
in no way of getting around it. But he looked at Otani now six

77
00:05:28.399 --> 00:05:31.160
game hitting shrink where he's hit five
twenty two. That's twelve hits and twenty

78
00:05:31.240 --> 00:05:35.399
three advants and in those twenty three
at bats five home runs he's knocked in

79
00:05:35.439 --> 00:05:38.759
a love it at Dave Roberts is
saying a little bit earlier, said hey,

80
00:05:38.759 --> 00:05:41.759
look, the other guys in the
lineup behind him need to pick up

81
00:05:41.759 --> 00:05:46.160
the slack. And we are beginning
to see more consistent hitting from the bottom

82
00:05:46.240 --> 00:05:48.839
third of the lineup, and hopefully
that drink continues. Well. Smith back

83
00:05:48.879 --> 00:05:53.079
in the lineup tonight. He did
not start last night, Dodgers resting him

84
00:05:53.079 --> 00:05:56.759
a little bit gave Austin Barnes the
opportunity to catch, so Smith back in

85
00:05:56.800 --> 00:06:00.439
the lineup in batting second right in
front of Freddy Freeman. Smith breaking up

86
00:06:00.480 --> 00:06:02.120
the left handers at the top of
the order. Yeah, breaking him up.

87
00:06:02.120 --> 00:06:06.480
And if we start to look at
this lineup two with Rojas, Miguel

88
00:06:06.560 --> 00:06:13.040
Rojas at shortstime. He has really
been I think a big contributor to the

89
00:06:13.040 --> 00:06:15.759
rest of the defense in the infield. On top of it, and especially

90
00:06:15.800 --> 00:06:19.480
with the loss of Max Munsey,
which yesterday put on the sixty day injured

91
00:06:19.519 --> 00:06:23.079
list. So it does look like
Max is going to be back until maybe

92
00:06:23.199 --> 00:06:27.120
after the All Star break. So
some you know, some doing that has

93
00:06:27.160 --> 00:06:30.959
to be taken care of Bigio again
start at third base, he'll bat in

94
00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:32.959
the nine spot. And for Bigio, one of the issues has been,

95
00:06:33.040 --> 00:06:36.399
you look at the last three years
is with two strikes, in particular,

96
00:06:36.519 --> 00:06:40.879
taking a lot of cold strike threes. And we've seen the last couple of

97
00:06:40.879 --> 00:06:43.759
games. However, he's beginning to
swing the bat, I think a little

98
00:06:43.800 --> 00:06:47.199
bit more freely. Just so news
how to Dave Roberts press conference this afternoon

99
00:06:47.240 --> 00:06:55.240
regarding Clayton Kershaw, the Dodger left
handed star, reporting some soreness in his

100
00:06:55.360 --> 00:06:59.079
left shoulder. So there is some
thought that they're going to monitor them and

101
00:06:59.360 --> 00:07:02.240
perhaps and it's not a definite,
but they might move his next rehab start

102
00:07:02.319 --> 00:07:05.160
back a little bit. He was
scheduled to pitch Tuesday night in Reno.

103
00:07:05.279 --> 00:07:10.399
You know what's nice about that,
Clinton Kershaw understands his body very very well

104
00:07:10.519 --> 00:07:13.959
and what sortis may be leading to
or may not be leading to. On

105
00:07:14.000 --> 00:07:16.279
top of that, it was out
of the ordinary. So that's a little

106
00:07:16.279 --> 00:07:18.319
bit. Hey, we're going to
keep a check on that end of it.

107
00:07:18.560 --> 00:07:23.120
Kershaw will let them know not just
my performance, but he can also

108
00:07:23.240 --> 00:07:26.279
articulate, hey, look, this
is how I feel. This is normal,

109
00:07:26.399 --> 00:07:29.480
that's not normal, and we need
to address this or possibly that.

110
00:07:30.560 --> 00:07:34.319
There's no timetable that has to be
exact for Kershaw. That's the beauty of

111
00:07:34.360 --> 00:07:40.120
the entire situation. Dodgers are sixteen
games over five hundred and eight games up

112
00:07:40.160 --> 00:07:44.160
in the division over the Padres.
Meantime, the Angels thirty and forty five

113
00:07:44.279 --> 00:07:47.720
and the Dodgers forty seven and thirty
one. Getting ready for the first pitch

114
00:07:47.759 --> 00:07:53.000
tonight at Dodger Stadium, expecting to
sell out crowd here tim all right,

Dodgers Baseball. It's Dodgers and Angels

126
00:08:45.200 --> 00:08:48.879
on this Saturday nights. Tyler Glass
Now on the mound. We'll hear from

127
00:08:48.919 --> 00:08:52.639
CT three coming up in about thirty
minutes. First pitch coming up, it's

128
00:08:52.679 --> 00:09:01.200
seven ten. This is the Otani
rewinde and swung. I'm well hit the

129
00:09:01.320 --> 00:09:07.519
center. This spells word back in
god. Home run number twenty two.

130
00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:13.120
Of course, Show hey, O'tani, the National League leader in home runs

131
00:09:13.679 --> 00:09:18.480
and the Dodgers lead at two to
nothing, an absolutely majestic blast the center

132
00:09:18.600 --> 00:09:26.159
field and Otani strikes again two two
score bottom of the eve. I see

133
00:09:26.200 --> 00:09:28.679
you ready to go the right handers
pitch swung on and ripped off of his

134
00:09:28.759 --> 00:09:35.399
glove. Otani hustling to first and
he gets there on the base hit SHOWE

135
00:09:35.399 --> 00:09:39.039
Hey Otani last night. Two for
two on base two times with a walk.

136
00:09:39.320 --> 00:09:43.000
His two run home run in the
fifth inning got the Dodgers on the

137
00:09:43.000 --> 00:09:46.080
board. His single there in the
eighth inning was the only hit that Dodgers

138
00:09:46.080 --> 00:09:48.720
had after his home run in the
fifth inning. A quiet night around show

139
00:09:48.759 --> 00:09:52.559
Hey Otani last night, but shoe
Otani at least getting it done in a

140
00:09:52.639 --> 00:09:56.879
losing effort. The Otani rewind brought

night, show Tani talked with David Investig

144
00:10:11.000 --> 00:10:16.039
in the media. Sure, obviously
disappointed to lose the game, but how

145
00:10:16.080 --> 00:10:33.360
strange was it to face your former
team ends it is mm and just such

146
00:10:35.759 --> 00:10:39.080
did we played at home today,
so not necessarily. I'm sure it's gonna

147
00:10:39.080 --> 00:10:43.600
feel a little different when we play
at Anaheim Stadium. You were teammates for

148
00:10:43.639 --> 00:10:48.639
a while with Patrick Sandoval. You're
obviously competing, but how tough was it

149
00:10:48.720 --> 00:11:01.039
for you to watch him go through
that today to nada one mascot? So

150
00:11:01.240 --> 00:11:07.960
it's became eventual uptun of bad hm
hmm, Well, especially beginning cause he's

151
00:11:09.000 --> 00:11:22.559
not in a m not that hey
Maska doing this. He really had good

152
00:11:22.600 --> 00:11:26.759
stuff against me. Unfortunately, Uh, I know he was uh, you

153
00:11:26.840 --> 00:11:31.840
know, had some apparent apparent injury. I hope he's gonna feel well and

154
00:11:31.960 --> 00:11:35.600
I hope he's gonna recover from whatever
he's fearing. He kind of talks on

155
00:11:35.759 --> 00:11:39.559
hitting leadoff. How comfortable are you
there? Do you do you like hitting

156
00:11:39.600 --> 00:11:56.200
leadoff? Do you know you equal
Penny? It's not going tooken me on?

157
00:11:58.440 --> 00:12:03.039
I don't know, do you know
what? Nothing really meaningful change.

158
00:12:03.639 --> 00:12:07.519
I think the first at bat of
the game is a little different. I'm

159
00:12:07.600 --> 00:12:11.759
more concerned who's hitting before and after. You're obviously a couple of months now

160
00:12:11.799 --> 00:12:16.840
into being a Dodger. She signed
here in the winter, just kind of

161
00:12:16.879 --> 00:12:20.480
playing for a team that's expecting to
play in October. Right, you're actually

162
00:12:20.559 --> 00:12:30.879
in first place and getting those results. How is that different? Like I

163
00:12:30.919 --> 00:12:46.159
started to started today, do you
do you know what's comecord to go?

164
00:12:46.519 --> 00:13:05.080
So you enough that you ensure man
film the game and I really feel that

165
00:13:05.200 --> 00:13:09.600
the organization really values long term approach. Yeah, it's the same time.

166
00:13:09.759 --> 00:13:13.480
You know, although the players do
understand that we really value winning the game

167
00:13:13.600 --> 00:13:16.919
each and every day. So it's
really for me to approach really doesn't change

168
00:13:18.639 --> 00:13:22.240
and really focus on playing each game. All right, there's show hey Otani

169
00:13:22.720 --> 00:13:26.600
last night after the game, he
got it done with a couple of hits,

170
00:13:26.639 --> 00:13:28.639
including a two run home run,
on base four times last night and

171
00:13:28.720 --> 00:13:33.320
then losing eff forty. He was
a tressing Patrick Sandoval, the Angels left

172
00:13:33.360 --> 00:13:35.679
hander who left the game in the
third inning last night grabbing his elbow.

173
00:13:37.000 --> 00:13:41.200
He has officially been placed on the
fifteen day IL whether the Angels are calling

174
00:13:41.279 --> 00:13:43.720
an elbow strain. He will sit
for the next few weeks and then be

175
00:13:45.039 --> 00:13:52.480
reevaluated. The Dodgers fans, make

got a little bit of soreness in

193
00:15:09.840 --> 00:15:13.639
his throwing shoulder, the same shoulder
he had surgery on this past offseason.

194
00:15:13.759 --> 00:15:16.039
How will affect his rehab assignments.
We'll find out in the next couple of

195
00:15:16.120 --> 00:15:18.799
days. In fact, we'll talk
about it more with David Vasse coming up

196
00:15:18.799 --> 00:15:22.600
in just a couple of minutes.
Let's head back out no to Dodger Stadium

197
00:15:22.600 --> 00:15:26.279
and here for the Dodger skipper.
A questions for Dave. Dave, can

198
00:15:26.320 --> 00:15:31.440
you just describe Dave? Can you
talk about the pressure in the dugouts with

199
00:15:31.720 --> 00:15:39.679
Dave Roberts, He's shown frontline stuff, you know, to the ability to

200
00:15:39.759 --> 00:15:48.440
get swing and miss, you know, to dominate a lineup, the durability

201
00:15:48.639 --> 00:15:54.720
to to go deep in games,
to take the baseball and uh, he's

202
00:15:54.799 --> 00:16:03.480
really just blended in, you know, shamelessly, with the players, the

203
00:16:03.720 --> 00:16:07.919
coaches, the front office and being
a local guy. I know he's thrilled.

204
00:16:07.000 --> 00:16:10.759
So I think that it's just something
that you know, he's always dreamt

205
00:16:10.759 --> 00:16:12.919
about being here. So that's also
another thing that's great, is you have

206
00:16:12.960 --> 00:16:23.679
a guy that's always wanted to be
here. I don't know that answer.

207
00:16:25.279 --> 00:16:29.120
Well, I guess yes, we're
going to manage it, but I don't

208
00:16:29.200 --> 00:16:33.879
see it as something where we have
to essentially, you know, take them

209
00:16:33.879 --> 00:16:40.759
offline, you know, just kip
a start something like that. I think

210
00:16:40.879 --> 00:16:44.440
that for us, we're very mindful
of how he's feeling after every start,

211
00:16:44.600 --> 00:16:48.240
going into each start. All right, there's Dave Roberts down the dugout,

212
00:16:48.279 --> 00:16:49.960
brought to you by Service Titan.
Dave Roberts is a Titan in his own

216
00:17:00.720 --> 00:17:04.200
on Dodgers on Deck. We'll check
back in with David Vasse to lead you

217
00:17:04.319 --> 00:17:08.839
up to first pitch Dodgers and Angels. I'm Tim Kase's Los Angeles Dodgers Audio

218
00:17:08.920 --> 00:17:18.480
Network. This is Marongo Casino Dodgers
on Deck on your home for the Blue

219
00:17:18.680 --> 00:17:25.279
all season law. It's the Dodgers
and Angels on this Saturday night. First

220
00:17:25.319 --> 00:17:32.079
pitch from Dodgers Stadium is coming up
at seventen joining Tim Kats on Dodgers on

221
00:17:32.279 --> 00:17:37.119
deck. I accept everybody for who
they are. This is Dodger insider David

222
00:17:37.240 --> 00:17:40.640
Basse. All right, David,
we gotta start with Clayton Kershaw. What's

223
00:17:40.720 --> 00:17:44.240
going on? He threw a bullpen
and he's sore. Yeah. I guess

224
00:17:44.319 --> 00:17:48.079
after his start at Rancho Cuca Manga
last week, he came out of it

225
00:17:48.160 --> 00:17:52.839
with a little soreness in his left
shoulder, and you know pitchers are sore

226
00:17:52.880 --> 00:17:57.119
after they pitched. So he went
with his regular scheduled bullpen session today and

227
00:17:57.200 --> 00:18:03.440
I guess during his light bullpen session
he still felt soreness in his left shoulder.

228
00:18:03.640 --> 00:18:08.279
So the Dodgers are waiting to see
how he feels tomorrow before moving ahead

229
00:18:08.440 --> 00:18:15.400
with what was supposed to be his
next scheduled start in Oklahoma City next Tuesday.

230
00:18:15.839 --> 00:18:19.319
But I will say this, Tim
Kershaw has told me during this process

231
00:18:19.480 --> 00:18:25.799
that he has been pleasantly surprised that
he hasn't had any real setbacks. And

232
00:18:25.880 --> 00:18:27.920
I'm not going to call this one
a setback. But this is the first

233
00:18:29.079 --> 00:18:33.559
bump in the road since coming off
a significant shoulder surgery. This is part

234
00:18:33.599 --> 00:18:37.880
of the process. And maybe there's
some scar tissue breaking up there in that

235
00:18:37.039 --> 00:18:41.400
left shoulder. So I wouldn't sound
the alarms right now, but this is

236
00:18:41.559 --> 00:18:45.599
the first bump in the road in
his rehab coming back from shoulder surgery.

237
00:18:45.960 --> 00:18:48.680
Well, we'll see how that progresses, and hopefully he can get back out

238
00:18:48.720 --> 00:18:52.119
there and another rehab start here quickly
and on time, Dave. Last night,

239
00:18:52.319 --> 00:18:56.559
a former Dodger was in the building. Huh yeah. One of Kershaw's

240
00:18:56.640 --> 00:19:00.480
former teammates, Hung chi Quo.
You may remember him being an All Star

241
00:19:00.720 --> 00:19:06.240
out of the bullpen for the Dodgers
in twenty ten. You may even remember

242
00:19:06.359 --> 00:19:11.480
him having the yips and not knowing
where the ball was going and hitting Grdo

243
00:19:11.640 --> 00:19:18.000
Para. Then the Arizona Diamondbacks,
which sparked almost a benches clearing brawl,

244
00:19:18.200 --> 00:19:21.920
and if you go back and look
at the video on YouTube, you'll see

245
00:19:22.000 --> 00:19:27.279
Clayton Kershaw being the most vocal against
Para, defending Hung chi Quo. Yes,

246
00:19:27.400 --> 00:19:32.960
thank you Kershaw. I song o
here, Yeah, I got yesterday.

247
00:19:33.039 --> 00:19:36.000
Are you surprised that he's still pitching. No, I can. I

248
00:19:36.319 --> 00:19:38.039
remember, you can always pitch foy. I think you can pitch forever.

249
00:19:38.440 --> 00:19:42.880
From my found from my remember he
said three. Yeah, you probably get

250
00:19:44.160 --> 00:19:47.359
another couple of months. Oh,
yes, he's gonna need the thirty five.

251
00:19:47.640 --> 00:19:49.559
Yeah, yeah, I can.
I still can mention he's pitching for

252
00:19:51.039 --> 00:19:52.960
a forty five if you want to. Yeah. So. Uh. That

253
00:19:53.160 --> 00:19:59.480
kind of started the brew hahab between
the Dodgers and Diamondbacks. The Diamondbacks won

254
00:19:59.519 --> 00:20:03.240
the division in twenty eleven, and
then if you remember twenty twelve twenty thirteen,

255
00:20:03.440 --> 00:20:08.519
Kirk Gibson Matt Williams still the managers
and third base coach there, and

256
00:20:08.759 --> 00:20:15.079
there was some some on field issues
between the Dodgers and Diamondbacks there for a

257
00:20:15.160 --> 00:20:18.279
few years. David is driven by
the Ford F Series, America's best selling

258
00:20:18.319 --> 00:20:21.640
truck for forty seven years in counting. Ford gives you freedom of choice,

260
00:20:25.200 --> 00:20:30.319
yours. Ford F Series built tough
Last Night tenth inning Angels scored in the

261
00:20:30.400 --> 00:20:33.519
top half of the inning dv the
bottom half. The Dodgers had a runner

262
00:20:33.519 --> 00:20:37.960
at third ninety feet away, two
outs, to play with and couldn't tie

263
00:20:37.960 --> 00:20:41.000
the game and they lose. Yeah, I heard you after the game last

264
00:20:41.119 --> 00:20:42.960
night, Tim, you did not
say it as politely as you just said

265
00:20:44.000 --> 00:20:48.839
it right there. But Dave Roberts
also kind of protected his players. But

266
00:20:48.119 --> 00:20:52.000
let's be honest here. Taylor Ward, against one of the best relief pitchers

267
00:20:52.039 --> 00:20:56.119
in baseball, Evan Phillips, with
two strikes and two outs, was able

268
00:20:56.200 --> 00:21:02.359
to put bat on ball to score
that play runner that advanced to third base

269
00:21:02.759 --> 00:21:06.720
and gave the Angels a one run
lead. The Dodgers in the bottom half

270
00:21:06.759 --> 00:21:10.079
of that tenth th inning were not
able to do that. The key at

271
00:21:10.160 --> 00:21:15.000
bat, keyk Hernandez striking out on
three pitches against Carlos Estevez. Keyk needed

272
00:21:15.039 --> 00:21:19.359
to put the ball in play and
certainly had a horrific at bat, and

273
00:21:19.480 --> 00:21:22.960
the Dodgers were not able to tie
the score. But that was the difference

274
00:21:23.400 --> 00:21:27.799
between the Dodgers winning and the Dodgers
losing last night. Tonight, it seems

275
00:21:27.799 --> 00:21:30.720
like you're in they're a good spot, DV. With Tyler Glasnaw on the

276
00:21:30.759 --> 00:21:34.359
mountain a fresh bullpen behind him.
Oh yeah, big time, Tim.

277
00:21:34.599 --> 00:21:40.640
Last night, Dave Roberts was a
little handcuffed because not only did the Dodgers

278
00:21:40.759 --> 00:21:44.799
just come back from Coors Field,
he had used Blake Trinan and Daniel Hudson

279
00:21:44.839 --> 00:21:48.480
and back to back games out there. Alex Vesia had thrown twenty three pitches

280
00:21:48.640 --> 00:21:52.599
the day before. But with the
day off tomorrow rare day off on a

281
00:21:52.759 --> 00:21:56.680
Sunday, and you have Tyler Glass
now your ace on the mound. The

282
00:21:56.799 --> 00:22:00.680
Dodgers are in a great spot if
they can get a eat tonight DV great

June twenty eighth, two thousand and eight,

294
00:23:00.599 --> 00:23:06.240
SAT, Dodgers Stadium, the Dodgers
taking on the Angels. Dodgers win

295
00:23:06.359 --> 00:23:10.759
the game one to nothing to win
a sack fly scoring Matt Kemp in the

296
00:23:10.839 --> 00:23:12.960
fifth inning. But the Dodgers didn't
have a hit but got the win.

297
00:23:14.720 --> 00:23:19.440
A beautiful evening. But you get
the feeling everybody's sweating. One in two,

298
00:23:21.559 --> 00:23:30.279
so the averages better than four pitches
in that bad, unbelievable. Regie

00:23:30.319 --> 00:23:37.240
will It spikes out two spikeouts for
Sido and the Dodgers win the game without

300
00:23:37.559 --> 00:23:42.960
a hit. Leave it to the
Dodge. Sixteen years ago on June twenty

301
00:23:44.039 --> 00:23:49.200
eighth, the Dodgers getting no hit
by Weaver and Aeronatino Jared Weaver in this

302
00:23:49.400 --> 00:23:55.720
game six no hit innings. Then
Jose Aaron Dondo comes in and pitches two

303
00:23:56.240 --> 00:24:00.920
no hit innings. The Dodgers score
a run on a sack from Blake to

304
00:24:00.000 --> 00:24:03.359
Witt in the fifth, the only
run of the game, Dodgers don't have

305
00:24:03.400 --> 00:24:08.039
any hits in the game. The
Dodgers win it one to nothing. How

306
00:24:08.039 --> 00:24:11.160

broadcaster and World Series champion Dodger Rick Monday.

320
00:25:14.440 --> 00:25:18.759
A beautiful hot summer day at Dodger
Stadium. Rick, and hopefully the

321
00:25:18.839 --> 00:25:22.119
Dodger bats heat up again. Well, hopefully they heat up, and hopefully

322
00:25:22.519 --> 00:25:26.559
we don't have too many opposing batters
that are hit by pitch. I mean,

323
00:25:26.960 --> 00:25:29.920
let's just look at it as it
was. Yeah, three hitters in

324
00:25:30.599 --> 00:25:36.079
one inning, and there was an
interesting note run up by Eric Stephen Yarborough

325
00:25:36.079 --> 00:25:41.480
who hit those three hitters, the
first Dodger reliever with hit three hit batters

326
00:25:41.519 --> 00:25:48.039
in the game since Carl Doyle on
June eighth, nineteen forty at Cincinnati against

327
00:25:48.079 --> 00:25:52.440
the rent. So we saw history
last night being repeated a long, long

328
00:25:52.519 --> 00:25:55.440
time ago. But you know,
I expect him to reel it in and

329
00:25:55.799 --> 00:25:59.759
get back on track. The Dodgers, quite frankly, last night did not

330
00:26:00.200 --> 00:26:03.559
when they needed to, and they
had plenty of opportunities just to fell short.

331
00:26:03.759 --> 00:26:07.480
Going back to Yarborough, Rick,
you always hear about guys talking baseball

332
00:26:07.599 --> 00:26:11.240
in the clubhouse. When I walked
in today when the media was allowed in,

333
00:26:11.640 --> 00:26:15.440
he was suddling with Blake Trying and
Anthony Banda. They were talking about

334
00:26:15.480 --> 00:26:18.559
what went sideways for him in that
sixth inning. Well, that's how you

335
00:26:18.640 --> 00:26:22.559
get better. Sometimes it's very difficult. It's it's painful to look at,

336
00:26:22.960 --> 00:26:26.480
you know, failure. It's painful
to look at it. But the positive

337
00:26:26.519 --> 00:26:30.519
thing is these guys from top to
bottom, and you're around them a lot,

338
00:26:30.640 --> 00:26:36.039
and you see it yourself as you
saw today, they're constantly looking for

339
00:26:36.119 --> 00:26:37.880
a better way to do it,
the better way to improve, you know,

340
00:26:38.279 --> 00:26:42.039
whether it be the shoehorn or whatever
it might be. And sometimes it's

341
00:26:42.079 --> 00:26:45.079
painful. It's easy to look at
the video after you've had a very good

342
00:26:45.119 --> 00:26:48.000
game. It's painful to look at
the video when it's not been that way.

343
00:26:48.119 --> 00:26:52.599
And having Phillips in a bad mood
today too, Rick after giving up

344
00:26:52.640 --> 00:26:53.960
the go ahead hit in the time. But at the same time, you

345
00:26:55.000 --> 00:26:59.519
know you you come in and you
inherit a runner already in scoring position and

346
00:26:59.680 --> 00:27:02.279
for the end, Angels they got
it done. The Dodgers did not.

347
00:27:02.799 --> 00:27:04.200
And if you look at the history
the last couple of years, the Dodgers

348
00:27:04.279 --> 00:27:07.880
have not had a record that actually
blows you away in extra innings. No

349
00:27:08.000 --> 00:27:11.599
doubt about it. Hey, Rick, We're still mourning the loss of Willie

350
00:27:11.680 --> 00:27:17.200
Mays. The Negro leagues are being
celebrated this week in Major League Baseball,

351
00:27:17.640 --> 00:27:22.200
and it feels like some people are
a little insensitive to the fact we lost

352
00:27:22.440 --> 00:27:25.839
one of the great people. I'm
glad you brought that up, and maybe

353
00:27:25.880 --> 00:27:29.039
I'm too close to it, you
know, to look at it from a

354
00:27:29.400 --> 00:27:36.279
stance that some people have taken it. But three days ago I went online

355
00:27:36.559 --> 00:27:41.759
and normally and I referred to cbssports
dot com a great deal, but there's

356
00:27:41.799 --> 00:27:44.759
a gentleman I'm not going to miss
in his name, but the headline is

357
00:27:45.200 --> 00:27:49.039
who is now the greatest living MLB
player? The funeral hasn't even taken place,

358
00:27:49.440 --> 00:27:52.240
and that irritated me, and I
thought it was insulting. I thought

359
00:27:52.279 --> 00:27:59.079
it was insensitive, and I would
expect better of people that in the same

360
00:27:59.160 --> 00:28:03.200
breath when they're going to use all
the bright lights of a great player and

361
00:28:03.319 --> 00:28:08.200
a guy that did so much for
the game of baseball and for the country

362
00:28:08.400 --> 00:28:12.039
really and served time in the military
on top of it, that being Willie

363
00:28:12.079 --> 00:28:17.920
Mays. And then before the man
who's even laid to rest, you're coming

364
00:28:18.000 --> 00:28:19.759
up with an article is that.
Okay, now, who's the greatest player,

365
00:28:21.279 --> 00:28:23.519
the greatest living player in baseball?
That riled me up. As you

366
00:28:23.559 --> 00:28:29.119
can tell, I thought again,
I thought it was very insensitive, and

367
00:28:29.880 --> 00:28:33.720
it was something that I just wanted
to vocalize that there are people that maybe

368
00:28:33.799 --> 00:28:37.880
disagree with me, and that's all
well and good. I happen to be

369
00:28:37.000 --> 00:28:41.880
honor enough to watch Willie Mays play, honor enough to play against him for

370
00:28:41.200 --> 00:28:45.839
a few games and had great respect
for him, and it just bothered me

371
00:28:45.960 --> 00:28:49.960
a great deal before even the man
was laid to rest. Here's somebody that's

372
00:28:51.000 --> 00:28:53.599
coming up with some kind of a
deal. Okay, now, who's it's

373
00:28:53.680 --> 00:28:57.079
like. This isn't a ticket taking
next, Who's in line? Who's in

374
00:28:57.160 --> 00:29:02.319
line? This is about the It's
about people. Yeah, well, said

375
00:29:02.400 --> 00:29:04.599
Rick. I think we're all on
board with what you had to say right

376
00:29:04.680 --> 00:29:10.240
there, because he was a person. He wasn't just some thing you know

377
00:29:10.480 --> 00:29:15.480
that you talk about it exactly.
So yeah, anyone disagrees, just send

378
00:29:15.519 --> 00:29:18.039
it to David Basse and he'll field
it and I'll return to send her.

379
00:29:18.119 --> 00:29:22.039
Yeah. Yeah, I feel much
better. But anyway, I continue to

380
00:29:22.160 --> 00:29:29.119
use that website, but I will
not be reading what that gentleman wrote.

381
00:29:29.240 --> 00:29:30.319
All right, Rick, thanks a
lot, and we'll check in with you

382
00:29:30.480 --> 00:29:33.920

383

And now what will likely be vass a

398
00:30:42.480 --> 00:30:48.000
fielding insults from a Dodger player.
It's an engagement of endearment. This is

399
00:30:48.200 --> 00:30:52.319
high and tight. All right,
we're here with fan favorite Chris Taylor.

400
00:30:52.440 --> 00:30:56.799
Chris uh not wearing the City Connect
jerseys and warm up right now. But

401
00:30:56.880 --> 00:31:00.680
I'm sure you're just waiting to unveil
it because you're such a big fista.

402
00:31:00.039 --> 00:31:03.920
Yeah. No, we were told
to wait till they came to a big

403
00:31:03.000 --> 00:31:07.720
hit. So uh yeah, we
got the Funfetti jerseys tonight. Oh.

404
00:31:07.799 --> 00:31:11.000
I like that. You even know
the nickname for it? Yeah? No,

405
00:31:11.119 --> 00:31:14.400
I mean it looks like a Funfetti
kick. Chris. I saw you

406
00:31:14.519 --> 00:31:18.920
during batting practice, still shagging in
center field. How often do you move

407
00:31:18.039 --> 00:31:22.839
positions just to be sharp whenever you're
called upon? Yeah? I try to

408
00:31:22.960 --> 00:31:25.920
whenever we take VP on the field. We don't do it every day,

409
00:31:26.039 --> 00:31:29.839
so I try to get my reps. You know, usually I do ground

410
00:31:29.920 --> 00:31:32.960
balls before VP, so during VP, I'll run out there and get some

411
00:31:33.119 --> 00:31:36.880
move off the bat. You're coming
off yourself and the team a pretty good

412
00:31:36.960 --> 00:31:40.640
road trip. Do you feel like
your confidence is starting to get back to

413
00:31:41.160 --> 00:31:44.960
where it has been in the past. Yeah, I feel pretty good,

414
00:31:45.079 --> 00:31:48.720
you know, the last week or
so. I feel like I've been in

415
00:31:48.759 --> 00:31:52.960
a better place when I'm when I'm
swinging balls moving forward, which is always

416
00:31:52.960 --> 00:31:56.839
a good sign, you know.
And uh, you know, they made

417
00:31:56.319 --> 00:32:02.039
some mechanical changes that have been working
well for me and starting to get more

418
00:32:02.079 --> 00:32:07.200
comfortable with. They're just trying to
like get some rhythm and athleticism, and

419
00:32:07.319 --> 00:32:09.880
you know, it's starting to show
a little bit. And I'm sure it

420
00:32:10.000 --> 00:32:14.000
helped that you were able to play
against a couple of lefties in the road

421
00:32:14.119 --> 00:32:16.480
to keep that rhythm. Yeah.
No, just getting on the field,

422
00:32:16.599 --> 00:32:21.400
whether it's lefties or righties. It
helps, you know, facing live pitching

423
00:32:21.519 --> 00:32:24.759
and continuing to get out there,
even at this stage of your career when

424
00:32:24.799 --> 00:32:29.480
you make those type of adjustments,
Do you need to see the results to

425
00:32:29.599 --> 00:32:36.079
continue and stay consistent with it?
You know, I think results are kind

426
00:32:36.160 --> 00:32:42.400
of It definitely helps you know your
confidence and everything, but as much as

427
00:32:42.440 --> 00:32:46.960
you can, you try to trust
the process and more so the quality of

428
00:32:47.039 --> 00:32:52.160
that bats than the whether you're getting
hits or not. Easier said than done.

429
00:32:52.240 --> 00:32:57.039
But you know, for me,
I just like that. Like I

430
00:32:57.119 --> 00:33:00.359
said, I'm moving them all forward. There's a less thing and in the

431
00:33:00.400 --> 00:33:05.759
strike zone and you know, more
line drives, which I like. Did

432
00:33:05.799 --> 00:33:07.799
I miss it in Denver? Did
you have a triple? Because I feel

433
00:33:07.839 --> 00:33:13.160
like we have this debate Chris and
I that the triple to me is the

434
00:33:13.240 --> 00:33:16.759
most exciting play in baseball outside of
a walk off home run. Have you

435
00:33:17.000 --> 00:33:22.480
have you changed your mind about that? No, I would have much preferred

436
00:33:22.519 --> 00:33:24.759
that ball to go over the fence. I'm sure you would have, but

437
00:33:25.039 --> 00:33:29.519
it was more exciting for the fans
to see you run the bases. Whither

438
00:33:29.640 --> 00:33:35.160
the running the bases or my dancing
that I did on third base. See

439
00:33:35.400 --> 00:33:37.160
that proves my point. We would
not have gotten that dance if you hit

440
00:33:37.200 --> 00:33:40.119
a home run. That is true. So have I swayed you a little

441
00:33:40.160 --> 00:33:44.160
bit? Can we agree to disagree
on that you got to leave to the

442
00:33:44.240 --> 00:33:47.519
fans. I'd rather run all the
way around the basis coming out and not

443
00:33:47.720 --> 00:33:52.480
do the dance. But okay,
yeah, the dance is kind of awkward.

444
00:33:52.519 --> 00:33:53.960
I'll be honest with you, the
Freddy dance, I could live with

445
00:33:54.559 --> 00:33:58.839
the other hip block thing you guys
do. I don't know, it feels

446
00:33:59.000 --> 00:34:04.759
a little awkward and you didn't really
do it. Well, well I do

447
00:34:04.880 --> 00:34:09.000
I do it Freddy? Well,
yeah, it's awkward. Good Okay,

448
00:34:09.800 --> 00:34:14.039
Well you're gonna have to show me
how it's done then, Okay, maybe

449
00:34:14.079 --> 00:34:17.119
a little bit later, Chris,
before I let you go. You've been

450
00:34:17.159 --> 00:34:21.760
part of so many good teams with
the Dodgers. Uh, do you feel

451
00:34:21.840 --> 00:34:24.800
like this team is still has a
lot of room to hit their ceiling?

452
00:34:27.039 --> 00:34:30.719
Yeah, you know, I think
there's definitely been ups and downs. Obviously,

453
00:34:30.840 --> 00:34:37.840
having a full healthy roster would help
us. You know, there's times

454
00:34:37.840 --> 00:34:39.960
where all of our guys were kind
of click in, and then there's times

455
00:34:40.000 --> 00:34:44.840
where we're all sort of in a
slump. So that's just gonna happen over

456
00:34:44.880 --> 00:34:47.320
the course of the season. You
know, hopefully it balances out. But

457
00:34:47.920 --> 00:34:52.760
yeah, we'd love to be like
hitting our stride, you know, at

458
00:34:52.800 --> 00:34:54.840
the end of the year. But
uh, you know when it counts in

459
00:34:54.920 --> 00:34:59.360
October. But right now, I
feel like we're in a we're in a

460
00:34:59.400 --> 00:35:04.760
good play. You know, guys
have stepped up and covered for the injured

461
00:35:04.800 --> 00:35:07.679
guys, so that's been picked yourself
included. That's why we like to like

462
00:35:07.760 --> 00:35:10.679
to see you out there with the
Freddy and whatever else do you do out

463
00:35:10.719 --> 00:35:15.360
there, Taylor. Yeah, I'm
just happy to be contributing anyway I can

464
00:35:15.519 --> 00:35:19.039
right now. You know that those
first couple of months, Yeah, that

465
00:35:19.159 --> 00:35:22.639
was the toughest part is going out
there and failing over and over and again.

466
00:35:22.800 --> 00:35:28.159
You know, you feel like your
your teammates are I can't really counting

467
00:35:28.199 --> 00:35:31.880
you. It's a bad feeling.
So to finally come through and contribute one

468
00:35:31.880 --> 00:35:35.960
of my numbers called, you know, it just feels good to be like

469
00:35:36.519 --> 00:35:38.920
playing good baseball and helping the team
win. It feels like you're out on

470
00:35:39.039 --> 00:35:43.280
the other side of that now.
And I know you told me your wife

471
00:35:43.360 --> 00:35:47.159
and being a dad certainly helped you
get through that time. Yeah. You

472
00:35:47.239 --> 00:35:52.239
know I mentioned before their huge for
me just being able to go home and

473
00:35:52.400 --> 00:35:59.199
kind of you know, separate baseball
from my home life, and it's good

474
00:35:59.239 --> 00:36:04.159
for your sanity just to get have
that escape. I'm just trying to contribute

475
00:36:04.199 --> 00:36:07.400
anyway I can today too, Chris, you and me both thanks a lot.

Tim never guys, Tim, Thanks again.

522
00:39:21.599 --> 00:39:24.960
Pitching matchup tonight, Tyler glass Now
will start for the Dodgers. He

523
00:39:25.079 --> 00:39:30.360
is seven and five with a three
ERA. Zach Plisach makes his second start

524
00:39:30.440 --> 00:39:32.000
of the season in the Big Leagues. He's one to zero and a four

525
00:39:32.039 --> 00:39:37.960
and a half ERA for glass Now
is major league tying sixteenth start. Now

526
00:39:38.000 --> 00:39:42.840
he won his last outing on Sunday, a three to nothing shutout when here

527
00:39:42.840 --> 00:39:45.400
at Dodger Stadium against Kansas City.
He pitched seven shutout innings and he was

528
00:39:45.719 --> 00:39:51.679
outstanding. But he had been the
hard luck loser in his previous four decisions,

529
00:39:52.079 --> 00:39:53.400
as the team just didn't get him
an he runs so yet for some

530
00:39:53.519 --> 00:39:58.360
reason, Glass now has been kind
of a negative situation and looking up on

531
00:39:58.440 --> 00:40:00.920
the board and not too many runs
scor Here's something to watch with Glassnow.

532
00:40:00.960 --> 00:40:06.039
It's rather unusual. The last four
starts that he's hand he has not allowed

533
00:40:06.079 --> 00:40:08.440
a base hit in the first inning
of any the last four starts, and

534
00:40:08.480 --> 00:40:13.360
then you start to look the first
time through a lineup one through nine for

535
00:40:13.559 --> 00:40:16.639
the season. Glass now is given
up just a one twenty seven batting average

536
00:40:16.639 --> 00:40:21.639
against him. Zach Pleae sack twenty
seven and twenty seven overall, but he's

537
00:40:21.639 --> 00:40:24.599
given up seventy four home runs in
his major league career. Susceptible to the

538
00:40:24.679 --> 00:40:28.280
long ball, warm night ball could
carry, yeah, could carry. And

539
00:40:28.400 --> 00:40:30.159
for Pleae sack, you know,
twenty nine year old right here, He's

540
00:40:30.159 --> 00:40:34.079
had one start that was when he
was with Cleveland against the Dodgers. That

541
00:40:34.280 --> 00:40:37.800
was two years ago. A couple
of guys have hit pretty well with him.

542
00:40:37.239 --> 00:40:40.639
Otani is three for seven against him, and Tiascar Hernanez is three for

543
00:40:40.800 --> 00:40:45.800
six. But for Polee, sack
one of those things that comes on substituting

544
00:40:45.840 --> 00:40:49.239
because of an injury. So his
second start now with the Angels, Zach

545
00:40:49.320 --> 00:40:52.760
Plea sack for the Angels and Tyler
glasnow for the Dodgers as they look to

546
00:40:52.800 --> 00:40:55.639
even up the Freeway series tonight,
Tim all right, thank you guys,

547
00:40:55.719 --> 00:41:00.280

Angels. I'll be back after the game
