The Dodgers red 6 00:00:28.199 --> 00:00:31.679 hot. They do it again with the Diamondbacks tonight out of Dodger Stadium. 7 00:00:31.719 --> 00:00:35.039 Gavin Stone on the mound, game two of this three games set. First 8 00:00:35.119 --> 00:00:38.719 pitch from Dodger Stadium is coming up at seven to ten. Between then and 9 00:00:38.880 --> 00:00:42.560 now, we got a lot to get to here. On Moroco Casino Dodgers 10 00:00:42.560 --> 00:00:46.439 on Deck, we'll hear from Dodger manager Dave Roberts. We'll dive deeper into 11 00:00:46.439 --> 00:00:50.439 this pitchy matchup with Gavin Stone going at it for the Dodgers. David Vase 12 00:00:50.679 --> 00:00:55.600 will go one on one with Clayton Kershaw that is coming up in forty five 13 00:00:55.640 --> 00:00:58.479 minutes. Shortly, we'll check in with Kirsten Watson. We got your O 14 00:00:58.600 --> 00:01:02.759 TAWNI rewind and it just few minutes we'll hear from Rick Monday and Steven Nelson 15 00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:07.719 out at the Galloping Motors broad cast booth. Well, the Dodgers kept the 16 00:01:07.799 --> 00:01:12.599 winning going last night against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Yoshinobu Yamamoto on the mound six 17 00:01:12.640 --> 00:01:17.760 of them third innings, two runs, seven hits, struck out eighthy threw 18 00:01:17.799 --> 00:01:22.120 one hundred pitches. The Dodgers fell into the early hole top of the third 19 00:01:22.120 --> 00:01:26.200 inning, Jock Peterson with an RBI single as the Snakes took a one to 20 00:01:26.280 --> 00:01:29.760 nine in lead. But the Dodgers got it back, and they got it 21 00:01:29.840 --> 00:01:32.879 back in a bunch in the bottom of the third, getting it started. 22 00:01:33.120 --> 00:01:36.200 Key ky Hernandez, you know, three and one. Key k trying to 23 00:01:36.239 --> 00:01:38.599 lead this inning off the right way, hits it hard center field. Carol 24 00:01:38.719 --> 00:01:45.079 pushed back. He will look up and watch it fie. Keith k Hernandez 25 00:01:45.200 --> 00:01:49.640 with a laser to straight away center field, leads off the third inning with 26 00:01:49.760 --> 00:01:53.519 his third hole run of the season, and it ties the game at one. 27 00:01:53.879 --> 00:01:57.879 Key k Hernandez ties the game with that solo home run and the Dodgers 28 00:01:57.879 --> 00:02:01.920 are just getting started. Miguel Rojas has single to right. Mookie Bess as 29 00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:07.439 their order turned over a single to write first and second nobody out show Hey 30 00:02:07.439 --> 00:02:10.360 o'tani then drew a walk to load the bas is. Still nobody out for 31 00:02:12.039 --> 00:02:15.719 Freddy Freeman. Two balls, one strike, so Cony to Freeman high in 32 00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:22.159 the air center field, hit deep Carrel's at the wall. It is gone, 33 00:02:23.919 --> 00:02:30.199 Hey Graham swing for Freddy Freeman. Home run number five four. Ribbis 34 00:02:30.240 --> 00:02:37.159 added to his total four hundred and fifteen feet to center field for Freddy Freeman. 35 00:02:37.280 --> 00:02:40.400 With the grand slam Dodgers of five to one, and they still weren't 36 00:02:40.439 --> 00:02:45.039 done. The very next batter of Will Smith solo home run to the Love 37 00:02:45.159 --> 00:02:49.479 Center that gave the Dodgers a six to one lee that is the top tier 38 00:02:49.479 --> 00:02:53.000 of the clear to Play the Game sponsored by Arco Quality top tier gas for 39 00:02:53.199 --> 00:02:59.439 less. The Dodgers exploded in the bottom half of the third inning six runs, 40 00:02:59.759 --> 00:03:04.319 five hits, three of those home runs incruiting the Grand Slam from Freddie 41 00:03:04.360 --> 00:03:08.159 Freeman. As the Dodgers were up big six to one, and last night, 42 00:03:08.240 --> 00:03:12.000 Yamamoto would go the six in a thirty eightings. He gave up the 43 00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:15.719 two runs. The Dodgers would give up two more on their way to a 44 00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:20.159 six to four win. Yamamoto now five and one on this season. Daniel 45 00:03:20.240 --> 00:03:23.680 Hudson picks up his third save of this season as the Dodgers whin they're fourth 46 00:03:23.719 --> 00:03:29.159 in a row. They're now thirty three and seventeen on this season. What 47 00:03:29.319 --> 00:03:31.800 a start for the Dodgers, who have an eight and a half game lead 48 00:03:32.080 --> 00:03:37.240 over the San Diego Padres, nine games up on the Giants, ten games 49 00:03:37.319 --> 00:03:42.639 up on Arizona, and the Colorado Rockies are sixteen games back in the NL 50 00:03:42.680 --> 00:03:46.800 West. As we sit here on May twenty first, and the Dodgers looked 51 00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:50.439 to keep the winning going to night with Gavin Stone on the mound. First 52 00:03:50.439 --> 00:03:53.639 pitch is seven to ten and with more we head out to Dodgers Dandium in 53 00:03:53.639 --> 00:03:58.280 the Gallpin Motors Broadcast booth as we say hello to Rick Monday and Steven Nelson. 54 00:03:58.319 --> 00:04:01.560 Guys, thanks Tim All right back at it, beautiful Tuesday afternoon, 55 00:04:01.639 --> 00:04:04.719 so far set in the stage for Game two of this series. The Dodgers 56 00:04:04.759 --> 00:04:10.560 are trying to make it five in a row in eight series in nine if 57 00:04:10.599 --> 00:04:13.639 my math is correct, and after last night, who knows, but we 58 00:04:13.759 --> 00:04:16.399 roll on. What are you looking forward to tonight? As the Dodgers face 59 00:04:16.439 --> 00:04:19.759 Brandan fought for the first time since Game three of the Division Series. We 60 00:04:19.879 --> 00:04:24.600 talked about it last night and we've been talking about it really for a couple 61 00:04:24.639 --> 00:04:27.480 of weeks. Is that if you leave this Dodger lineup has been the top 62 00:04:27.519 --> 00:04:30.199 part of the lineup has been doing most of the pulling of the wagon, 63 00:04:30.839 --> 00:04:34.120 and we're now beginning to see some better swings from the six, seven, 64 00:04:34.360 --> 00:04:39.199 eight, and nine spot. That's exactly what we saw in last night's ball 65 00:04:39.240 --> 00:04:43.480 game as well, and tonight always looking forward to you know, Gavin Stone 66 00:04:43.560 --> 00:04:46.319 on the mound. They're gonna figure things out. And for this Dodger ball 67 00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:49.079 club, I mean, the other part that we've really enjoyed and it makes 68 00:04:49.079 --> 00:04:54.199 the postgame show so much better for us to be able to do. But 69 00:04:54.279 --> 00:04:57.439 Dodgers have won twenty one in the last twenty seven games, and so far 70 00:04:57.480 --> 00:05:01.240 in the month of May they've won fourteen and lost only four. And when 71 00:05:01.279 --> 00:05:04.439 you're winning like that, I gotta tell you what, the sun shines brighter, 72 00:05:04.480 --> 00:05:09.240 the food tastes better, and the baseball is a lot more enjoyable. 73 00:05:09.920 --> 00:05:13.560 We can confirm that. So the Dodgers fifty games into the season now well 74 00:05:13.839 --> 00:05:17.639 thirty three and seventeen. Only the twenty twenty club and the two thousand and 75 00:05:17.759 --> 00:05:23.360 nine Dodgers have had better fifty games starts in the wild Card era for the 76 00:05:23.399 --> 00:05:27.560 Dodgers. So it has been a fun season so far. If we are 77 00:05:27.600 --> 00:05:30.560 to split hairs with this team, because I think that's what we all tend 78 00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:33.600 to do, fans and media like on a day to day basis with a 79 00:05:33.600 --> 00:05:39.000 team that has I expectation is split hairs. They have scored in just three 80 00:05:39.319 --> 00:05:44.120 of their last eighteen offensive innings. Is that something that bothers you or is 81 00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:46.800 that more natural during the course of a season that most than some might think. 82 00:05:46.920 --> 00:05:49.800 No, it doesn't bother me at all, because many of the people 83 00:05:49.920 --> 00:05:55.319 on the outside looking in. The question is if it should be when, 84 00:05:55.680 --> 00:06:00.240 and by that i'm talking about when guys go into a little bit of a 85 00:06:00.279 --> 00:06:03.959 slump. It's not if they're going to so it's win. You just hope 86 00:06:03.959 --> 00:06:08.319 that everyone doesn't go into that slump. At the same time, the offense 87 00:06:08.480 --> 00:06:12.279 is there, and again we're beginning to see something from the bottom part of 88 00:06:12.319 --> 00:06:15.360 the order. And it's not only from a pitching standpoint, from the starters, 89 00:06:15.879 --> 00:06:18.879 but it's also the bullpen, because if you look at the bullpen the 90 00:06:19.000 --> 00:06:25.560 last twenty seven games, their collective vra is under one and a half runs 91 00:06:25.560 --> 00:06:28.639 and every nine innings that they have work. This is a ball club, 92 00:06:28.639 --> 00:06:30.319 I think, if we're looking at it, if they remain healthy or get 93 00:06:30.360 --> 00:06:34.480 guys that are injured, get them healthy and get back in there. This 94 00:06:34.560 --> 00:06:39.160 is a team, if we're being honest, could play even better baseball. 95 00:06:39.199 --> 00:06:42.000 It's going to be more difficult because I think if you look at the schedule, 96 00:06:42.360 --> 00:06:46.480 they're going to be playing teams that quite frankly, are doing better in 97 00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:49.759 the standings than some of the teams that they played recently. Got to get 98 00:06:50.360 --> 00:06:53.439 fat? Why you can you know? Well? They getting's good. I 99 00:06:53.480 --> 00:06:56.079 suppose the Dodgers will try and make it twenty two out of twenty eight. 100 00:06:56.120 --> 00:07:00.279 Tonight. Tim Kates will come back in preview the starting pitching matchup and talk 101 00:07:00.319 --> 00:07:03.160 about the terrific Gavin Stone when we come back.

Plus we'll visit with Kirsten 109 00:07:32.160 --> 00:07:36.040 Watson for leading up to Dodgers and Diamondbacks on this Tuesday night. Thanks for 110 00:07:36.079 --> 00:07:42.800 being with us.

Gavin Stone Brandon fought the pitchy matchup 113 00:07:55.920 --> 00:07:59.800 Dodgers winners of four in a row. First pitch coming up at sevent ten. 114 00:08:01.040 --> 00:08:09.360 This is the Otani rewinde Matt's played. The left hand reliever Joey Otani 115 00:08:09.399 --> 00:08:13.079 puts a bunt down left side fielded by Matt Supply, whose throw is then 116 00:08:13.160 --> 00:08:18.399 knocked out of the globe by Walker. So showhy reaches in surprising fashion. 117 00:08:18.879 --> 00:08:24.560 Nobody, and I mean nobody in this stadium was expecting that I got news 118 00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:28.279 for you. Nobody in this hemisphere was expecting it. But shouldn't be a 119 00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:31.480 surprise, because show, hey, Otani could do it all. Hit home 120 00:08:31.559 --> 00:08:35.600 runs, hit for the Caps, and I'll even lay down a blunt Last 121 00:08:35.679 --> 00:08:39.120 night for a single.

This is Kirston's Corner with Kirston and Kierson now joins us on 127 00:09:01.440 --> 00:09:05.799 this Tuesday night before the Dodgers and Diamondbacks. Big news earlier today for the 128 00:09:05.840 --> 00:09:11.240 Dodgers Kearston as they continue to get healthy, especially with these arms that are 129 00:09:11.399 --> 00:09:15.679 starting to slowly come back. Bobby Miller, He's progressing, Yeah, he 130 00:09:15.759 --> 00:09:18.240 is. He threw a sim game today through three innings. Dave Roberts said 131 00:09:18.240 --> 00:09:22.320 he got up toot fifty one pitches, and so for him, he talks 132 00:09:22.360 --> 00:09:26.919 about how, look, this is his first SIM game, so as much 133 00:09:26.960 --> 00:09:30.279 as he was looking to see really positive things, he said, the command 134 00:09:30.360 --> 00:09:31.720 was there a little bit, but it was kind of blacking of sunspots. 135 00:09:31.759 --> 00:09:35.679 But that's something that's very realistic with your first SIM game. So he said 136 00:09:35.720 --> 00:09:39.600 that everything is still on a good plan for him. His next outing will 137 00:09:39.639 --> 00:09:46.480 actually be on Sunday with Rancho and then he is going to have likely three 138 00:09:46.759 --> 00:09:50.639 rehab starts before he makes his way back. But today was a really good 139 00:09:50.679 --> 00:09:54.039 step, but just a really good sign that he's continuing to feel better. 140 00:09:54.000 --> 00:09:58.240 No inflammation anymore, all of that is in the past now, so he's 141 00:09:58.279 --> 00:10:01.559 moving forward and feeling good. What is his mean though, with his return 142 00:10:01.679 --> 00:10:05.600 getting closer for this rotation, Yeah, that's you know, that's a really 143 00:10:05.639 --> 00:10:09.159 big question right now. That came up today and there's some thought of, 144 00:10:09.200 --> 00:10:11.000 you know, do you go to a six man rotation. We've been seeing 145 00:10:13.080 --> 00:10:16.320 for the most part, everyone, if not on regular rest, has gotten 146 00:10:16.360 --> 00:10:18.240 an extra day, and some of that has been due to just off days 147 00:10:18.360 --> 00:10:22.759 or a bullpen game, or whether it's been a spot start. Someone like 148 00:10:22.840 --> 00:10:26.559 Landon Nack we saw it come up or Elie ser Hernandez things like that. 149 00:10:26.759 --> 00:10:31.080 So we've seen different situations. And so with Bobby returning, considering how well 150 00:10:31.080 --> 00:10:35.720 the rotation has been playing as of late, you know, there's some thought 151 00:10:35.799 --> 00:10:37.720 like maybe it makes sense just to go to a six man rotation, but 152 00:10:37.799 --> 00:10:41.919 Dave said, while it is something that is still on the table, they 153 00:10:41.919 --> 00:10:46.000 are considering it, it does, you know, come with a few things 154 00:10:46.000 --> 00:10:48.759 that you have to also consider. And that's one less arm in the bullpen. 155 00:10:48.840 --> 00:10:52.240 What does that mean? You know, you have to have that conversation 156 00:10:52.320 --> 00:10:56.279 and take into consideration just how the rotator, all the arms in the rotation 157 00:10:56.399 --> 00:11:00.159 are they comfortable with, you know, sticking to a true six man rotation 158 00:11:00.360 --> 00:11:05.399 type thing. So a lot of it's definitely in the air. We'll see 159 00:11:05.440 --> 00:11:07.440 what they decide on. But as of right now, since I'm as I 160 00:11:07.480 --> 00:11:11.080 told you, there's still Bobby's gonna need three more outings, So there's still 161 00:11:11.120 --> 00:11:15.919 a couple more weeks before they have to make this decision. So as I 162 00:11:16.080 --> 00:11:18.519 like to say, they will cross that bridge when they get there. Max 163 00:11:18.559 --> 00:11:22.840 Munsey, what's the latest on his oblique and how's he progressing. Yeah, 164 00:11:22.840 --> 00:11:26.399 he's doing well. He was actually doing some stuff today, playing some defense, 165 00:11:26.480 --> 00:11:31.120 doing some stretches with the training staff. He's said he's feeling better, 166 00:11:31.240 --> 00:11:33.639 he looks good out there. He's gonna start hitting in the cage here soon. 167 00:11:33.759 --> 00:11:37.440 And then Dave said that he will go out on his rehab assignment. 168 00:11:39.080 --> 00:11:41.240 So the hope is that in the next week or so he should be returning. 169 00:11:41.279 --> 00:11:46.000 He's only gonna need like one or two rehab outings, and so they'll 170 00:11:46.080 --> 00:11:48.159 kind of go from there, but he should be returning relatively soon. That 171 00:11:48.279 --> 00:11:52.399 is certainly good news for the Dodgers, and they continue to get healthy and 172 00:11:52.399 --> 00:11:54.679 they continue to keep winning. Curs soon.

Connor BroadNet out with 191 00:13:15.600 --> 00:13:18.039 Planter, Fashion Guidis, Clayton Kershaw, Bruce Dargrauderal, Kyle Hurt, Tony 192 00:13:18.080 --> 00:13:22.639 Gonslin Estin may All in the sixty day il did see dustin main post on 193 00:13:22.679 --> 00:13:26.240 social media today he's over at camel Back Ranch throwing bullpen sessions. So that 194 00:13:26.320 --> 00:13:30.080 is good news image she had done for the season following Tommy John surgery. 195 00:13:30.080 --> 00:13:31.559 All right, let's head back out to Dodger Stadium and check in with the 196 00:13:31.600 --> 00:13:37.720 Dodger Skipper. Questions for Dave Dave? Can you just describe Dave? Can 197 00:13:37.759 --> 00:13:45.120 you talk about the pressure in the dugouts with Dave Robbers, Dave Versmith, 198 00:13:46.120 --> 00:13:48.120 Bobby sip Gang, What are you seeing from him? And is he's still 199 00:13:48.360 --> 00:13:54.559 on the I guess same timeline of next to meet his rehab assignment. We 200 00:13:54.559 --> 00:13:58.759 we got through three innings. I think he threw fifty one pitches and I 201 00:13:58.799 --> 00:14:03.399 think that what you would expect the first time out. The command of his 202 00:14:03.480 --> 00:14:05.759 pitches isn't going to be there, but I think the exercise of getting him 203 00:14:05.840 --> 00:14:11.600 up and down three times was accomplished and the next step is for him to 204 00:14:13.159 --> 00:14:18.919 start his rehab assignment. For that Rancho team on Sunday next Monsie was also 205 00:14:18.960 --> 00:14:22.279 out there just doing some stuff on the fields and stretches and things like that. 206 00:14:22.320 --> 00:14:26.519 How is he continuing to progress just with He looks good. He's done 207 00:14:26.559 --> 00:14:31.759 some plio stuff. He took some grounders today through. I think he's going 208 00:14:31.799 --> 00:14:39.360 to hit probably tomorrow or Thursday in the cage and it will be one or 209 00:14:39.360 --> 00:14:43.480 two game rehab. I don't know when that's going to start, and hopefully 210 00:14:43.480 --> 00:14:50.000 we'll get him back sometime next week. With Bobby got a little time to 211 00:14:50.000 --> 00:14:54.960 think about this, But where does he fit back into the rotation? That's 212 00:14:54.000 --> 00:14:56.679 pretty cold, it is. It is, and that's a good thing, 213 00:14:58.399 --> 00:15:01.320 certainly, with the way guys are thought the baseball and as it stands now, 214 00:15:01.399 --> 00:15:07.279 the health. But we've got three starts, so we've got some time 215 00:15:07.320 --> 00:15:09.759 to kind of see, you know, Let's let Bobby get through a Sunday 216 00:15:09.919 --> 00:15:13.759 and then we'll kind of see from there. All right, there's Dave Roberts 217 00:15:13.759 --> 00:15:16.919 down the dugout, brought to you by his service Titan. So Bobby Miller 218 00:15:18.039 --> 00:15:20.480 three minor league rehabit starts, and then the Dodgers got a decision to make 219 00:15:20.519 --> 00:15:24.120 as far as what to do with this rotation. Dave Roberts is a Titan 220 00:15:24.120 --> 00:15:26.759 in his own right, and he's got a plan before his team hits the 221 00:15:26.799 --> 00:15:31.120 field.

You get all the latest as we leach up to first pitch Dodgers 225 00:15:41.320 --> 00:15:46.440 and Diamondbacks Bookie Betts Bobblehead Night, first pitch of seven to ten. I'm 226 00:15:46.480 --> 00:15:54.080 Tim Katson's Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network. This is Marongo Casino, Dodgers on 227 00:15:54.279 --> 00:16:03.320 Tech on your Home for the Blue All see Dodgers and Diamondbacks on this Tuesday 228 00:16:03.399 --> 00:16:07.840 night. Gavin Stone Brandon fought the pitching matchup. Coming up, we'll hear 229 00:16:07.879 --> 00:16:11.240 from Clayton Kershaw in about twenty minutes. We'll dive deeper to this pitching matchup. 230 00:16:11.240 --> 00:16:14.919 We'll get your magical moment coming up in a few minutes as well. 231 00:16:14.960 --> 00:16:19.960 But first, joining Tim Kats on Dodgers on Deck, I accept everybody for 232 00:16:21.039 --> 00:16:25.840 who they are. This is Dodger insider David Bassi. All right, dv 233 00:16:25.960 --> 00:16:27.440 the Dodgers have won four in a row. They get to win last night 234 00:16:27.519 --> 00:16:33.720 six to four. Yoshinobu Yamamoto pitches deep yet again. Another quality starts. 235 00:16:33.159 --> 00:16:37.200 Yeah, and it wasn't looking that way early in the game yesterday because in 236 00:16:37.240 --> 00:16:42.000 the third inning, tim he was at the fifty pitch mark and the Diamondbacks 237 00:16:42.000 --> 00:16:48.240 were threatening. That's where Christian Walker hit a sinking line drive to Jason Hayward 238 00:16:48.279 --> 00:16:51.679 and he was able to make the catch. And from that point on it 239 00:16:51.759 --> 00:16:56.240 was a different Yamamoto. He stepped up to the challenge of being better the 240 00:16:56.320 --> 00:16:59.720 final three and a half innings. He finished with one hundred pitches into the 241 00:16:59.720 --> 00:17:03.799 set thinning, and I thought the most impressive part of his outing last night 242 00:17:04.319 --> 00:17:10.200 was a sequence in the sixth inning where he struck out Jock Peterson on three 243 00:17:10.359 --> 00:17:15.599 ninety six mile an hour fastballs. That showed the competitive fire inside of him, 244 00:17:15.640 --> 00:17:19.279 considering Peterson got him earlier in the game for the first run. Keik 245 00:17:19.440 --> 00:17:23.920 Hernandez started at third base last night like he is tonight, and he had 246 00:17:23.960 --> 00:17:29.200 the best view of Yamamoto. You know, he's still great. Uh. 247 00:17:29.880 --> 00:17:32.319 You know, he had one tolf ending where they put up some really good 248 00:17:32.359 --> 00:17:36.480 at bats together, and you know, they scored some runs, and you 249 00:17:36.519 --> 00:17:38.680 know, overall he did a great job. He gave up that one run 250 00:17:38.720 --> 00:17:41.559 early and then we uh, you know, he kept them there. We 251 00:17:41.839 --> 00:17:45.519 put a sixth spot and he did what he had to do to you know, 252 00:17:45.640 --> 00:17:48.640 kind of like Chrisntrol throughout the game, and Matt helped his manage the 253 00:17:48.640 --> 00:17:53.240 bullpend a little better second time in the last three starts. Tim that Yamamoto 254 00:17:53.319 --> 00:17:57.079 has pitched into the seventh inning, so he's starting to figure things out. 255 00:17:57.480 --> 00:18:00.720 David is driven by Ford, America's best selling truck for forty seven years in 256 00:18:00.759 --> 00:18:04.319 counting Heny your southern California. Ford Dealers for great offers on a Ford F 257 00:18:04.400 --> 00:18:10.200 Series truck or any Foid model during for his memorial days, Celifon built for 258 00:18:10.680 --> 00:18:15.160 tough. Miguel Vargas DV back up got to start a couple of days ago 259 00:18:15.160 --> 00:18:18.400 and get another start tonight in left field. Yeah, and I talked to 260 00:18:18.480 --> 00:18:25.000 him earlier today. He is he participated in the live batting practice against Bobby 261 00:18:25.039 --> 00:18:27.559 Miller, and while he was there, I mean he seemed relaxed him And 262 00:18:27.880 --> 00:18:32.640 basically he has the mindset of saying, you know what, I've tried it 263 00:18:32.759 --> 00:18:36.039 a lot of other people's ways. I'm going to do it my way this 264 00:18:36.240 --> 00:18:41.200 time. And he had a really good betting practice session earlier today. A 265 00:18:41.200 --> 00:18:45.559 lot of times that doesn't translate, but certainly it has been an indication of 266 00:18:45.599 --> 00:18:51.400 players being on point that day, and he was very locked in and determined 267 00:18:51.759 --> 00:18:55.799 to make the most of tonight's opportunity. David Dave Roberts said, well, 268 00:18:55.839 --> 00:18:57.640 they got three starts to worry about Bobby Miller when he comes back, what 269 00:18:57.680 --> 00:19:00.519 they're going to do with the rotation. But really, what are the Dodgers 270 00:19:00.519 --> 00:19:04.119 going to do when Bobby Miller comes back, right, He's supposed to make 271 00:19:04.160 --> 00:19:08.480 three or four more rehabs starts starting on Sunday, And you know, I've 272 00:19:08.519 --> 00:19:12.759 asked a few people with the Dodgers front office and they said, when we 273 00:19:12.880 --> 00:19:18.599 get there, we'll assess who is healthy and who is not healthy. We're 274 00:19:18.599 --> 00:19:22.240 talking about a pitcher and Walker Bueller that's coming off as second Tommy John surgery. 275 00:19:22.400 --> 00:19:27.559 So the approach they are taking is, we find it hard to believe 276 00:19:27.599 --> 00:19:33.200 that everybody is going to be healthy at the same time or won't need a 277 00:19:33.319 --> 00:19:37.519 break in the season. So we'll see how it goes. But right now 278 00:19:37.599 --> 00:19:41.680 the Dodgers are not getting too far ahead of themselves with that. I guess 279 00:19:41.880 --> 00:19:45.759 first class problem, have no doubt about it. DV appreciate it. We'll 280 00:19:45.799 --> 00:19:48.279 check back you with you in a few minutes. Dave's conversation with Clayton Kershaw 281 00:19:48.680 --> 00:19:52.839 is coming up in a little over fifteen minutes.

Here's LA Dodgers broadcaster and World Series champion Dodger Rick Monday. Rick 311 00:22:26.519 --> 00:22:30.000 the Dodgers winning four in a row, and they got Gavin Stone on the 312 00:22:30.039 --> 00:22:33.480 mound. He may not have been one of the most talked about young pitchers, 313 00:22:33.519 --> 00:22:37.480 but he's certainly's making a name for himself now. Yeah, and I 314 00:22:37.519 --> 00:22:41.079 think you start to look as night start he's making here tonight. Four and 315 00:22:41.160 --> 00:22:44.079 one is the record. You know, what are the things that he's really 316 00:22:44.079 --> 00:22:47.440 been able to do. I think I found some numbers today. The last 317 00:22:47.440 --> 00:22:51.839 couple of starts that he's had, he's given up just an forty eight batting 318 00:22:51.839 --> 00:22:55.759 average when he gets two strikes, and I bring that up because Dave Robertson 319 00:22:55.839 --> 00:23:00.440 talking to media today was talking about command of the fastball, in particular with 320 00:23:02.319 --> 00:23:04.039 Gavin Stone. So if he gets that fastball gets ahead in the counts. 321 00:23:04.039 --> 00:23:07.759 I mean, this unbelievable numbers. The last two starts again with two strikes 322 00:23:07.759 --> 00:23:11.799 as a forty eight banning average against He's got good stuff. And you know 323 00:23:11.880 --> 00:23:15.720 what was really enjoyable last night obviously the victory, no question about it, 324 00:23:17.240 --> 00:23:21.599 and the performance of yeah, Shinobu Imamoto who picked up the win, going 325 00:23:21.640 --> 00:23:23.559 six and a third, and you go into the summit inenning the bullpen goes, 326 00:23:23.640 --> 00:23:29.920 hey, we really like that. But I think from top to bottom 327 00:23:30.160 --> 00:23:33.559 the lineup of putting some offense in there as well. Kick k Hernandez with 328 00:23:33.559 --> 00:23:37.440 a home run, obviously, the big blast was with Freddie Freeman with a 329 00:23:37.480 --> 00:23:41.480 grand Slam, and then the very next batter, Will Smith, I don't 330 00:23:41.480 --> 00:23:44.240 know two count hit a home run on top of it. So we're beginning 331 00:23:44.279 --> 00:23:47.519 now to see because we talked for a long time about one through four in 332 00:23:47.559 --> 00:23:52.640 the batting order really kind of pulling most of the wagon occasionally one through five, 333 00:23:52.119 --> 00:23:56.000 but now we're beginning to see it filtering down a little bit more to 334 00:23:56.039 --> 00:23:59.400 give support because the guys up at the top are not going to stay hot 335 00:23:59.440 --> 00:24:03.400 all year long, and Jason Hayward's a big part of that equation to help 336 00:24:03.480 --> 00:24:07.119 the bottom third of the order. Yeah, from both sides of the ball, 337 00:24:07.400 --> 00:24:11.400 from an offensive standpoint and from a defensive standpoint. We saw a catch 338 00:24:11.440 --> 00:24:15.440 again last night as he comes in. I think that you look at Hayward 339 00:24:15.440 --> 00:24:18.480 and right field, I think he makes now. He's a left handed thrower, 340 00:24:18.519 --> 00:24:21.599 which means he has the globe in the right hand, but he makes 341 00:24:21.640 --> 00:24:25.559 that backhand dive catch. Yeah, I think as well as anyone in baseball 342 00:24:25.640 --> 00:24:30.000 right now. Miguel Vargas gets the starting left field tonight, rick only the 343 00:24:30.039 --> 00:24:33.279 second start since he got called back up with the month see injury. He 344 00:24:33.440 --> 00:24:37.079 feels like this is now or never, and he's got to be himself to 345 00:24:37.119 --> 00:24:41.880 make an impression. Yeah, and I hope he's thinking only now, and 346 00:24:41.799 --> 00:24:47.839 you kind of fight to let that filter in never. You can't have that 347 00:24:47.920 --> 00:24:51.079 as a player. So it's got to be now, and he's worked hard 348 00:24:51.279 --> 00:24:55.200 to be there. I'm gonna be watching closely on what he does with the 349 00:24:55.319 --> 00:24:57.519 reading the ball off the bat when he moved out to left field last year. 350 00:24:57.839 --> 00:25:02.559 He had some difficulty in getting to the baseball off the bat, in 351 00:25:02.599 --> 00:25:04.359 other words, of breaking back on the ball that was hit in front of 352 00:25:04.440 --> 00:25:07.799 him, maybe not getting a good jump going to his left and to his 353 00:25:07.880 --> 00:25:11.000 right. I thought he went to his left last year better than he went 354 00:25:11.000 --> 00:25:14.240 to his right. And we'll see what it is now, all right, 355 00:25:14.319 --> 00:25:17.519 Rick. Earlier today we were talking about some of the young arms for the 356 00:25:17.559 --> 00:25:22.480 Dodgers. Bobby Miller back out there today throwing the hitters, and he's going 357 00:25:22.559 --> 00:25:26.440 out on a rehab assignment on Sunday. Yep, what did you see today? 358 00:25:26.680 --> 00:25:29.720 Well, we saw it, we heard I told you so. We 359 00:25:29.799 --> 00:25:33.880 heard a few things because he was irritated himself with the command of a couple 360 00:25:33.880 --> 00:25:37.240 of pitches, bounced a few breaking balls in front of the plate, airmailed 361 00:25:37.279 --> 00:25:41.079 a few fastballs on top of it. Overall, I think it's a work 362 00:25:41.119 --> 00:25:45.240 in progress, and I think that he has to be able to face live 363 00:25:45.319 --> 00:25:48.839 hitters in game situations instead of just having as he had today on the field 364 00:25:49.039 --> 00:25:52.119 pitching from the mound. Yes, he had different hitters in there, both 365 00:25:52.200 --> 00:25:56.000 right handed and left handed, but there's no real pressure from a standpoint is 366 00:25:56.039 --> 00:25:59.920 that, oh, there's a scoreboard, there's runners, there's this, there's 367 00:26:00.119 --> 00:26:03.319 that that's going on. I thought it was a good stepping stone. It 368 00:26:03.359 --> 00:26:07.160 could have been better, more consistent with the quote unquote command as we hear 369 00:26:07.200 --> 00:26:10.839 that word of luck talking about pictures. But it was again, it was 370 00:26:10.880 --> 00:26:15.119 a big step for Bobby Miller. We also heard him vocalize his displeasure a 371 00:26:15.160 --> 00:26:18.400 couple of times all the way up in the press box, which I think 372 00:26:18.519 --> 00:26:19.920 is really a good thing because he was into it. It wasn't like, 373 00:26:19.960 --> 00:26:22.960 Hey, I'm just going to go out there and throw. No, he 374 00:26:22.079 --> 00:26:26.200 was into it and committed. I think the next down would be even better. 375 00:26:26.400 --> 00:26:29.559 I was wondering for the hitters that were facing him, what does it 376 00:26:29.599 --> 00:26:32.799 do for them, if anything, because they were Chris Taylor. Again, 377 00:26:32.799 --> 00:26:36.119 I'm glad you asked that because the first who's the first name you mentioned, 378 00:26:36.279 --> 00:26:40.119 Chris Taylor. I will say this, Chris Taylor hit a home run at 379 00:26:40.119 --> 00:26:42.480 the left field off of Bobby Miller, and I looked at the location of 380 00:26:42.480 --> 00:26:45.880 the pitch. It was not really a bad location. It was a better 381 00:26:45.960 --> 00:26:49.480 swing. So there was two things that came out of a positive that I 382 00:26:49.559 --> 00:26:53.240 saw. One to Bobby Miller, and he gets into it and he's going 383 00:26:53.319 --> 00:26:56.039 to make a couple of rehab starts, as you were alluding to. But 384 00:26:56.119 --> 00:27:00.880 the other part is Chris Taylor to me, had much better or swings today. 385 00:27:00.880 --> 00:27:03.720 Off a guy that throws. I mean he's in the upper nineties. 386 00:27:03.200 --> 00:27:07.039 Uh, didn't see him hitting breaking balls. Don't know how many got for 387 00:27:07.079 --> 00:27:10.640 strikes, but I did see the one home run that he yet. All 388 00:27:10.720 --> 00:27:14.160 right, Rick, thanks a lot. Clayton Kershaw forty pitch bullpen today. 389 00:27:14.200 --> 00:27:15.759 He's going to join us in a little bit here on the pregame show. 390 00:27:15.799 --> 00:27:18.599 Okay, good do you ever stand in against him? Is he warming up? 391 00:27:18.720 --> 00:27:22.640 Offered? And Uh, I think they want it too badly. They 392 00:27:22.680 --> 00:27:26.359 don't want to They don't want to subject me to that. Well, if 393 00:27:26.359 --> 00:27:27.960 you do, make sure you were catcher's gear, a helmet and everything else. 394 00:27:29.039 --> 00:27:33.920 I talked trash to Bobby Miller. You talk trash to everybody, not 395 00:27:33.039 --> 00:27:37.039 you, Rick, I respect you too much. Yeah, Stephen Nelson, 396 00:27:37.039 --> 00:27:38.839 that's another off.

It's an engagement of endearment. This is high 413 00:28:52.319 --> 00:28:57.200 and tight. We're at Dodgers Stadium and with the sun out for the first 414 00:28:57.200 --> 00:29:00.720 time in a month, the sleeves are gone, the guns are out for 415 00:29:00.799 --> 00:29:04.200 Clayton Kershaw, great to see you today, and I know today was a 416 00:29:04.240 --> 00:29:07.880 good day for you. Yeah because I get to wear a sleeveless shirt or 417 00:29:08.079 --> 00:29:14.400 no, yeah, through another pin today and it's it's still getting better. 418 00:29:14.440 --> 00:29:18.359 Yeah, so it's great. Still I'm kind of trending upward and through forty 419 00:29:18.359 --> 00:29:22.880 pitches today and yeah, so it's going good. It's going great. I'm 420 00:29:22.880 --> 00:29:27.559 always curious to know the patience meter. Where is it for you? Well, 421 00:29:27.599 --> 00:29:30.039 you know, this is a new territory for me, so you typically 422 00:29:30.119 --> 00:29:34.400 I just push it until I'm stupid. But now, like you know, 423 00:29:34.440 --> 00:29:37.880 with surgery, there's kind of like, hey, you gotta you can't push 424 00:29:37.920 --> 00:29:41.200 surgery, you know. So I think that's I think it's teaching me some 425 00:29:41.279 --> 00:29:45.640 things about how to how to work and how to figure out what's good pain, 426 00:29:45.720 --> 00:29:49.000 what's bad pain, what's like you need to slow down or hey, 427 00:29:49.039 --> 00:29:52.680 you need to work through it, and just all kind of new territory for 428 00:29:52.759 --> 00:29:56.480 me really, But you know, I would say overall, the process has 429 00:29:56.480 --> 00:30:00.759 been great. Everybody here back on all. Everybody's helping me out a lot, 430 00:30:00.839 --> 00:30:03.759 and I'm getting closer it really. I know last year it was a 431 00:30:03.799 --> 00:30:07.559 grind for you to just do what you're doing now, throw every day in 432 00:30:07.640 --> 00:30:12.599 between starts. Is it refreshing to know that you don't have that pain anymore 433 00:30:12.599 --> 00:30:15.920 to go out there? Well, I think you just take it for granted, 434 00:30:15.960 --> 00:30:18.640 you know. I think, you know, health is something that you 435 00:30:18.680 --> 00:30:21.200 don't care about until you don't have good health, you know, And that's 436 00:30:21.200 --> 00:30:23.960 the true in life as well. So for me to be able to, 437 00:30:25.319 --> 00:30:27.039 you know, throw a baseball and have it feel great, it's a huge 438 00:30:27.039 --> 00:30:30.160 blessing. I love it. I love throwing a baseball. It's a lot 439 00:30:30.160 --> 00:30:33.640 of fun and especially when it doesn't hurt. Yeah. So what are you 440 00:30:33.680 --> 00:30:37.240 doing in between the Dodgers being at home and you being in Texas? Yeah? 441 00:30:37.319 --> 00:30:40.759 So, you know, rehaving Texas is good, you know, obviously 442 00:30:40.839 --> 00:30:42.920 it gives me some more family time. But thankfully school is winding down and 443 00:30:42.960 --> 00:30:45.440 we'll get to be out here full time here and next week or so, 444 00:30:45.519 --> 00:30:48.759 which is awesome. But it's been good. You know, obviously not playing 445 00:30:48.880 --> 00:30:52.519 is no fun, but being able to be home and have the kids stay 446 00:30:52.519 --> 00:30:56.240 in school, and you know, Cali's in third grade now, so school 447 00:30:56.319 --> 00:31:00.119 kind of like is important to her and she wants to be around and I 448 00:31:00.160 --> 00:31:03.079 think they're actually learning stuff. So it's been it's been a blessing to be 449 00:31:03.119 --> 00:31:06.599 able to be home with them for a while. At this stage of your 450 00:31:06.640 --> 00:31:08.799 career, What is the motivation? I mean, because I know you care 451 00:31:08.880 --> 00:31:12.599 so much about being the best dad you possibly can, and it hurts when 452 00:31:12.599 --> 00:31:17.559 you're not with them, But what is the motivation to keep going with the 453 00:31:17.640 --> 00:31:21.839 Dodgers and pitching? Well, I mean to win obviously, that's that's the 454 00:31:21.880 --> 00:31:23.799 motivation on the field, is you know, we're we have a special group 455 00:31:23.839 --> 00:31:27.240 of guys and a special team and have the opportunity to win. And so 456 00:31:27.359 --> 00:31:30.799 I think that that's the motivation on the field, and then off the field, 457 00:31:32.000 --> 00:31:37.000 like my kids are just now getting old enough to like kind of think 458 00:31:37.039 --> 00:31:40.359 this is cool, you know, and so for Calli and Charlie to kind 459 00:31:40.359 --> 00:31:41.880 of be around. Even Cooper who's four now, like I took him to 460 00:31:41.880 --> 00:31:45.039 the field for the first time this year. So some of that stuff dad 461 00:31:45.079 --> 00:31:48.799 life like, you know, letting them know that their dad did have a 462 00:31:48.880 --> 00:31:52.119 job at one point and like able to like show them kind of this stuff 463 00:31:52.240 --> 00:31:55.400 is important and like I want them to know, you know, what La 464 00:31:55.440 --> 00:31:59.240 has meant to our family. And so yeah, I mean there's a motivation 465 00:31:59.359 --> 00:32:01.640 there too. That's amazing. Yeah, your kids are very young. If 466 00:32:01.640 --> 00:32:05.519 you would have called it quits, they never would have known what dad did. 467 00:32:05.640 --> 00:32:07.519 That's true. I just just would have been the dad that just creeped 468 00:32:07.519 --> 00:32:12.599 around all the time. Clayton Kershaw is our guest. Now I don't see 469 00:32:12.599 --> 00:32:16.640 a father, a husband, a pitcher, But now he grows beef and 470 00:32:16.720 --> 00:32:22.480 he'll send you beef boxes. Kershaw beef is alive and well in Texas. 471 00:32:22.720 --> 00:32:25.519 Where did this come from? Yeah? Grow beef? Is that what you 472 00:32:25.599 --> 00:32:29.039 do? Or raise raise cattle? Yeah? Yeah, there you go. 473 00:32:30.279 --> 00:32:32.400 No, you know, my my wife's family has had a place in East 474 00:32:32.440 --> 00:32:37.200 Texas for a long time and we found some we bought some land next to 475 00:32:37.279 --> 00:32:40.319 him last year and you know, one of long story, but anyway, 476 00:32:40.440 --> 00:32:44.160 one of one of when somebody in our family said, hey, I think 477 00:32:44.279 --> 00:32:45.839 I think we could do the beef business. And so we started trying it 478 00:32:45.880 --> 00:32:52.200 and send a few preliminary boxes over Christmas and the results were great, and 479 00:32:52.279 --> 00:32:54.680 I think the beef tastes really good and it's kind of a fun thing to 480 00:32:54.720 --> 00:32:58.640 be able to do, so we're giving it a shot. It's fun and 481 00:32:59.279 --> 00:33:01.640 so far there is of this, like first round of boxes has been great, 482 00:33:01.680 --> 00:33:05.359 So who knows where it's gonna go, but it's it's something fun to 483 00:33:05.359 --> 00:33:08.000 do and I enjoy it. How much time do you spend on the farm, 484 00:33:08.039 --> 00:33:10.640 for a lack of better term, well, not a lot right now, 485 00:33:10.680 --> 00:33:13.720 but you know it could be, you know, in the future. 486 00:33:13.759 --> 00:33:15.079 You know, it's always nice to get out of the city. And I'm 487 00:33:15.279 --> 00:33:17.559 a city you know, Dow, I'm from a big city, so I 488 00:33:17.559 --> 00:33:21.319 don't I don't have a lot of farm experience or anything like that. But 489 00:33:22.599 --> 00:33:23.319 to be able to get out of the city every once in a while, 490 00:33:23.319 --> 00:33:27.559 I think it's good for me, good for the kids. And once again, 491 00:33:27.559 --> 00:33:29.480 I don't really know what I'm doing, but it's kind of fun to 492 00:33:29.480 --> 00:33:31.839 be a part of it.

I 496 00:33:43.079 --> 00:33:46.160 didn't actually tell me all right before I let you go. When you do 497 00:33:46.200 --> 00:33:50.400 come back, you're coming back to a really great team. What have you 498 00:33:50.440 --> 00:33:53.799 seen so far? Well, I think I think the big not a surprise, 499 00:33:53.880 --> 00:33:57.119 but I think the biggest thing for us right now is the depth of 500 00:33:57.160 --> 00:34:00.960 our starters, like how many innings they're eating, and you know, even 501 00:34:00.960 --> 00:34:02.559 the guys that are coming up, whether it be Landon Knack or you know, 502 00:34:02.599 --> 00:34:07.280 Elia's art, like Yamamoto is going deep glasses, going deep into games. 503 00:34:07.320 --> 00:34:10.480 Paxton's been really really good as well. And so I think when you 504 00:34:10.519 --> 00:34:14.480 have that, and then I mean Gavin Stone what he's doing the last month, 505 00:34:14.519 --> 00:34:16.840 and we'll see him tonight. But I don't know if anybody expected that, 506 00:34:17.039 --> 00:34:20.840 Like the innings eating, which is really important over the course of a 507 00:34:20.880 --> 00:34:23.199 long season. It saves your bullpen, it resets it. And you know, 508 00:34:23.239 --> 00:34:27.960 obviously our stars are doing what they're supposed to do, and it's been 509 00:34:28.000 --> 00:34:30.360 pretty incredible to watch, you know, the top four or five in our 510 00:34:30.400 --> 00:34:32.679 lineup, but to see our starters do what they're doing, it just sets 511 00:34:32.719 --> 00:34:37.239 everything up for the bullpen to have success, and a huge shout out to 512 00:34:37.400 --> 00:34:40.679 Huddy too. Daniel Hudson and what he's doing, and obviously with Evan being 513 00:34:40.719 --> 00:34:45.440 out like just such a cool story, as many obstacles as he had to 514 00:34:45.480 --> 00:34:49.480 overcome, just couldn't be happier for him. He's just the best, and 515 00:34:49.639 --> 00:34:51.800 so all to say, it's been a lot of fun to watch and I'm 516 00:34:51.840 --> 00:34:53.639 excited to be a part of it. Three out of four for Daniel Hudson 517 00:34:53.760 --> 00:34:59.559 Kershaw. He hasn't done that before recently. No, it's it really is 518 00:34:59.599 --> 00:35:01.760 amazing to watch and we've needed it. I mean, we've needed every bit 519 00:35:01.800 --> 00:35:06.440 of it, so I'm just super happy for him. All right, can't 520 00:35:06.440 --> 00:35:07.920 wait for you to come back. I love seeing you out there, even 521 00:35:07.920 --> 00:35:13.920 if it's in the bullpen session settings right now, but it doesn't definitely gives 522 00:35:13.960 --> 00:35:16.199 hope that you'll be back out there soon. Yeah, it's almost time to 523 00:35:16.199 --> 00:35:21.400 stop practicing, stop playing.

Before first pitch, let's head back out to the booth, 565 00:38:19.800 --> 00:38:22.880 Rick and Steven guys, all right, TC, getting closer and closer 566 00:38:22.920 --> 00:38:28.360 and closer to first pitch at Dodger Stadium, and that first pitch will be 567 00:38:28.400 --> 00:38:32.039 thrown Rick Monday by Gavin Stone, who was really starting to find himself at 568 00:38:32.079 --> 00:38:36.280 the major league level. Boy he is. And I start to look back 569 00:38:36.320 --> 00:38:40.079 at the last five times that he has been out there, He's gone at 570 00:38:40.159 --> 00:38:45.480 least six innings in each of those games. So you know, Dave Robertson 571 00:38:45.559 --> 00:38:50.079 was talking earlier about Gavin Stone is a look fastball command needs to get that 572 00:38:50.199 --> 00:38:53.400 over a little bit more consistently. And he has a terrific changeup. So 573 00:38:53.800 --> 00:38:59.159 you combined getting strikes and then using the change up the off speed with two 574 00:38:59.159 --> 00:39:04.039 strikes, very high percentage of strikeouts against hitters. And speaking of hitters, 575 00:39:04.079 --> 00:39:07.519 Dodgers have to figure out for Brandon fodt On what they're going to be doing 576 00:39:07.599 --> 00:39:09.119 if I'm a hitter, There's one number I really want to look at, 577 00:39:09.159 --> 00:39:15.280 and that's the percentage of first pitch strikes that Fought has thrown, because it's 578 00:39:15.320 --> 00:39:19.320 the leading percentage of starting pitchers in the National League. He's thrown first pitch 579 00:39:19.360 --> 00:39:23.159 strike seventy four percent of the time. My point being, I'm going to 580 00:39:23.199 --> 00:39:28.360 home plate and I'm hunting a fastball first pitch. That just reminds me of 581 00:39:28.400 --> 00:39:30.440 one of the dodgers more aggressive first pitch hitters in Freddie Freeman, and you 582 00:39:30.480 --> 00:39:35.719 look at Freddy's career line against Brandon Fott. He's got four hits in Adab's 583 00:39:35.920 --> 00:39:37.880 three of them for extra bases, a couple of doubles and home runs. 584 00:39:37.880 --> 00:39:43.000 So that is something for everybody to monitor when the first inning roll is around. 585 00:39:43.360 --> 00:39:45.800 Getting back to Gavin Stone on one more point, mo, you know 586 00:39:45.880 --> 00:39:52.119 his last four starts especially, he is giving up what one or fewer runs 587 00:39:52.119 --> 00:39:55.199 in four straight and he's done a good job of his pitch mix. He's 588 00:39:55.239 --> 00:39:59.519 got six offerings and we know the changeup is coming a lot, but we're 589 00:39:59.519 --> 00:40:01.360 seeing this slider more and more. Yeah, he's gone to that slider. 590 00:40:01.360 --> 00:40:05.480 Here's the other part too, very quickly. Of the twenty nine s Frankounts, 591 00:40:05.800 --> 00:40:08.880 thirteen of those have come on changeups. He's got one of the best 592 00:40:09.000 --> 00:40:13.320 in the business and we look forward to seeing it again. Hopefully Gavin Stone 593 00:40:13.360 --> 00:40:16.280 stays sharp and pitches the Dodgers to a series victory. Game two coming up, 594 00:40:16.320 --> 00:40:21.119 tim, Yeah, Gavin Stone four and zero with a two eerra in 595 00:40:21.199 --> 00:40:25.320 his last six stars Dodgers thirty three and seventeen on this season. Good news 596 00:40:25.360 --> 00:40:30.280 is Padres already lost today, Giants already lost today. So the Dodgers of 597 00:40:30.320 --> 00:40:36.199 will win tonight could be nine games up on San Diego and ten games up 598 00:40:36.480 --> 00:40:40.599 on San Francisco. Also would be eleven games up on Arizona with the win 599 00:40:40.719 --> 00:40:45.400 over the Diamondbacks, so the lead can keep expanding if the Dodgers can keep 600 00:40:45.440 --> 00:40:50.360 winning to make their fifth win in a row tonight, with Gavin Stone on 601 00:40:50.400 --> 00:40:53.800 the mound, first pitch when we come back, Dodgers and Diamondbacks, I'm 602 00:40:53.800 --> 00:41:00.880 Tim Kasey's been Brono Casino Dodgers on deck on the Los Angeles Dodgers Audio No there t
