<v Speaker 2>the Gallpin Motors Broadcast Boo as well.

20
00:01:00.920 --> 00:01:02.679
<v Speaker 3>Yesterday in Saint Louis.

21
00:01:02.880 --> 00:01:05.200
<v Speaker 2>It was a night of first as the Dodgers came

22
00:01:05.239 --> 00:01:08.560
<v Speaker 2>back to beat the Cardinals. Justin Robleski got the start.

23
00:01:08.840 --> 00:01:11.400
<v Speaker 2>The twenty four year old rookie left hander would go

24
00:01:11.480 --> 00:01:15.120
<v Speaker 2>five innings, four runs, four hits, three strikeouts. He had

25
00:01:15.159 --> 00:01:18.079
<v Speaker 2>the early run support Cavin Lucks, a solo home run

26
00:01:18.200 --> 00:01:20.719
<v Speaker 2>is eighth of the season that came in the second innings.

27
00:01:20.719 --> 00:01:23.239
<v Speaker 2>The Dodgers grabbed a one to nothing lead. Kevin Kiermeyer

28
00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:26.400
<v Speaker 2>then an RBI single that gave the Dodgers a two

29
00:01:26.439 --> 00:01:29.920
<v Speaker 2>to nothing lead, but the Dodger nemesis, Paul Goldschmid old

30
00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:32.560
<v Speaker 2>Goldie a two run home run in the bottom of

31
00:01:32.599 --> 00:01:35.719
<v Speaker 2>the second inning even things up at two. The Cardinals

32
00:01:35.760 --> 00:01:37.719
<v Speaker 2>took the lead in the third. They tacked on another

33
00:01:37.799 --> 00:01:40.239
<v Speaker 2>home run in the fifth. As Saint Louis was up

34
00:01:40.319 --> 00:01:43.400
<v Speaker 2>four to two. Justin Robleski went to five innings. In

35
00:01:43.439 --> 00:01:46.079
<v Speaker 2>the top half of the sixth inning, the Dodgers offense

36
00:01:46.200 --> 00:01:47.239
<v Speaker 2>finally got it going.

37
00:01:47.359 --> 00:01:49.200
<v Speaker 3>Mookie Betts got it started.

38
00:01:49.599 --> 00:01:52.560
<v Speaker 4>And Michaelis pitch, Mookie swings.

39
00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:54.799
<v Speaker 5>Hits a drive to the left. This Paul is way

40
00:01:54.959 --> 00:01:58.640
<v Speaker 5>back and it has got a home run Mookie Betts.

41
00:02:00.400 --> 00:02:03.599
<v Speaker 4>Since returning from the injured list his twelfth of the year,

42
00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:06.799
<v Speaker 4>and the Dodgers get some instant offense from Mookie.

43
00:02:06.959 --> 00:02:08.120
<v Speaker 5>It is four to three.

44
00:02:08.840 --> 00:02:12.319
<v Speaker 2>Mookie Bets with the solo home run, Dodgers down four

45
00:02:12.360 --> 00:02:15.199
<v Speaker 2>to three. That home run three hundred and ninety six

46
00:02:15.240 --> 00:02:17.479
<v Speaker 2>feet to left and the Dodgers were just getting going

47
00:02:17.520 --> 00:02:20.080
<v Speaker 2>in that sixth inning. Miguel Rojas later in the inning

48
00:02:20.159 --> 00:02:23.280
<v Speaker 2>an RBI single that tied the game at four. Then

49
00:02:23.400 --> 00:02:26.080
<v Speaker 2>Kevin Kiirmeyer came up and with one swing of the

50
00:02:26.120 --> 00:02:27.960
<v Speaker 2>bat gave the Dodgers the lead.

51
00:02:28.400 --> 00:02:32.319
<v Speaker 4>Won one pitch, swinging in a high fly ball right center.

52
00:02:32.360 --> 00:02:35.280
<v Speaker 5>It's deep, it's headed back, it has gone.

53
00:02:35.360 --> 00:02:38.840
<v Speaker 4>It's a three run home run for Kevin Kirmeyer.

54
00:02:39.719 --> 00:02:41.240
<v Speaker 5>Oh, how do you like that?

55
00:02:42.360 --> 00:02:46.039
<v Speaker 4>A big sixth thinning for the Dodgers, says Kevin Kermeyer

56
00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:49.280
<v Speaker 4>hits his fifth home run of the year, a three

57
00:02:49.479 --> 00:02:53.080
<v Speaker 4>run shot with two men out, and it is seven

58
00:02:53.159 --> 00:02:54.919
<v Speaker 4>to four Los Angeles.

59
00:02:55.159 --> 00:02:58.560
<v Speaker 2>At absolute bomb from Kevin Kiermeyer four hundred and fifteen

60
00:02:58.599 --> 00:03:01.520
<v Speaker 2>feet to right center field the Bush Stadium. Three run

61
00:03:01.560 --> 00:03:04.520
<v Speaker 2>home run part of a five run sixth inning for

62
00:03:04.599 --> 00:03:08.199
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers. They took a seven to four lead Justin

63
00:03:08.280 --> 00:03:11.240
<v Speaker 2>Robleski turned it over to the bullpen, who gave up

64
00:03:11.280 --> 00:03:13.759
<v Speaker 2>two runs in the bottom half of the sixth that

65
00:03:13.840 --> 00:03:16.919
<v Speaker 2>made it a seven to six Dodgers lead. As Evan

66
00:03:16.960 --> 00:03:19.680
<v Speaker 2>Phillips would pitch the seventh, Joe Kelly pitched the eighth,

67
00:03:19.759 --> 00:03:22.879
<v Speaker 2>put up a zero, and Michael Kopek came in for

68
00:03:22.960 --> 00:03:25.280
<v Speaker 2>the first time to close things out for the Dodgers

69
00:03:25.560 --> 00:03:27.840
<v Speaker 2>and had a one, two three ninth in. He struck

70
00:03:27.879 --> 00:03:31.039
<v Speaker 2>out a pair in that ninth. Dodgers hang on and

71
00:03:31.120 --> 00:03:34.400
<v Speaker 2>beat the Cardinals last night, seven to six to snap

72
00:03:34.439 --> 00:03:37.960
<v Speaker 2>their two game losing streak. Justin Robleski we mentioned it

73
00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:40.400
<v Speaker 2>was a night of first he picked up his first

74
00:03:40.719 --> 00:03:41.520
<v Speaker 2>major league win.

75
00:03:41.639 --> 00:03:43.080
<v Speaker 3>Congratulations to him.

76
00:03:43.280 --> 00:03:47.120
<v Speaker 2>Michael Kopek picked up his first save as a Dodger,

77
00:03:47.199 --> 00:03:50.439
<v Speaker 2>his tenth on the season overall, as the Dodgers improved

78
00:03:50.439 --> 00:03:53.560
<v Speaker 2>as seventy two and fifty one. With the Padres and

79
00:03:53.680 --> 00:03:56.439
<v Speaker 2>Diamondbacks both losing last night, the Dodgers pick up a

80
00:03:56.439 --> 00:03:59.719
<v Speaker 2>game in the standings, now three games up in the division,

81
00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:02.360
<v Speaker 2>and today they look to make it two straight over

82
00:04:02.439 --> 00:04:05.360
<v Speaker 2>Saint Louis. Bobby Miller on the mound first pitch at

83
00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:07.280
<v Speaker 2>four fifteen and with more, Let's head out to the

84
00:04:07.319 --> 00:04:10.080
<v Speaker 2>Gallpin Motors broadcast booth and as we say hello to

85
00:04:10.240 --> 00:04:12.759
<v Speaker 2>Rick Monday, Tim Nevertt, guys.

86
00:04:12.439 --> 00:04:15.319
<v Speaker 4>Thanks Tim. It is a beautiful afternoon in the evening

87
00:04:15.400 --> 00:04:18.720
<v Speaker 4>here in Saint Louis, Missouri, sunshine, not a cloud to

88
00:04:18.759 --> 00:04:21.680
<v Speaker 4>be seen anywhere, and the temperatures in the high eighties

89
00:04:21.720 --> 00:04:24.839
<v Speaker 4>as the Dodgers and Cardinals get ready for Game two

90
00:04:24.839 --> 00:04:27.639
<v Speaker 4>of this three game set. Dodgers three games up now

91
00:04:28.040 --> 00:04:31.199
<v Speaker 4>after winning last night and seeing the Potreys and Diamondbacks

92
00:04:31.199 --> 00:04:34.319
<v Speaker 4>lose twenty one games over five hundred and seventy two

93
00:04:34.319 --> 00:04:36.839
<v Speaker 4>and fifty one. The Cardinals, meantime, have dropped to ten

94
00:04:37.000 --> 00:04:39.879
<v Speaker 4>back in the Central in a second place time with Cincinnati.

95
00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:43.680
<v Speaker 4>They are sixty and sixty two and have lost five straight.

96
00:04:43.759 --> 00:04:47.439
<v Speaker 4>Andre Polante out of UC Irvine. He will get the

97
00:04:47.439 --> 00:04:50.639
<v Speaker 4>start for the Cardinals tonight, and Bobby Miller taking the

98
00:04:50.680 --> 00:04:54.279
<v Speaker 4>spot of Tyler Glasnow in the starting rotation, just called

99
00:04:54.360 --> 00:04:57.720
<v Speaker 4>up from TRIPAA, Oklahoma City and moll Last night we saw,

100
00:04:58.360 --> 00:05:00.800
<v Speaker 4>of course the Dodgers win seventh to six to take

101
00:05:00.879 --> 00:05:05.000
<v Speaker 4>Game one here, but also the emergence of what could

102
00:05:05.040 --> 00:05:07.439
<v Speaker 4>be the new Dodgers closer and Michael Kopek.

103
00:05:07.519 --> 00:05:09.560
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, all he did was coming in through one hundred

104
00:05:09.560 --> 00:05:11.959
<v Speaker 6>and three miles an hour. One of the pitches, quite

105
00:05:12.000 --> 00:05:14.399
<v Speaker 6>a few were above one hundred, so he struck out

106
00:05:14.439 --> 00:05:16.319
<v Speaker 6>two of the three batters that he faced to close

107
00:05:16.360 --> 00:05:19.000
<v Speaker 6>out in the ninth inning. Is Dodger ball club tim

108
00:05:19.040 --> 00:05:22.120
<v Speaker 6>continues to really flex their wings when they score first.

109
00:05:22.120 --> 00:05:25.079
<v Speaker 6>They're now fifty three wins and just thirteen losses when

110
00:05:25.120 --> 00:05:27.600
<v Speaker 6>they put a tally upon the board. And what about

111
00:05:27.680 --> 00:05:31.000
<v Speaker 6>Kevin Kiermyer comes on, you know, not a bad pickup

112
00:05:31.040 --> 00:05:32.759
<v Speaker 6>to begin with. We've already seen what he could do

113
00:05:32.839 --> 00:05:36.480
<v Speaker 6>defensively well last night two for four offensively, knocked in

114
00:05:36.600 --> 00:05:39.399
<v Speaker 6>four runs, including the big blast, the three run home

115
00:05:39.480 --> 00:05:40.680
<v Speaker 6>run coming in the sixth inning.

116
00:05:40.720 --> 00:05:42.680
<v Speaker 4>And Mookie Beat's got him going in the sixth inning

117
00:05:42.759 --> 00:05:45.240
<v Speaker 4>with a home run. Since coming off the shelf, missing

118
00:05:45.279 --> 00:05:48.759
<v Speaker 4>forty five games due to a broken hand, Mookie's hitting

119
00:05:48.839 --> 00:05:51.759
<v Speaker 4>four hundred. He's eight for twenty, two home runs and

120
00:05:51.800 --> 00:05:53.079
<v Speaker 4>four RBIs the.

121
00:05:53.040 --> 00:05:55.639
<v Speaker 6>Dodgers getting some pretty good ballace up and down throughout

122
00:05:55.680 --> 00:05:58.399
<v Speaker 6>the lineup. And I mentioned that because for sho hey Otani,

123
00:05:58.519 --> 00:06:01.319
<v Speaker 6>as much as he has done offensive standpoint, I mean,

124
00:06:01.480 --> 00:06:03.680
<v Speaker 6>it's been absolutely off the charts. However, if we look

125
00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:06.639
<v Speaker 6>at the last nine games, he's barely hitting one hundred

126
00:06:06.720 --> 00:06:08.879
<v Speaker 6>one oh three to be exact. But the other guy

127
00:06:08.959 --> 00:06:11.120
<v Speaker 6>is picking up the slack until he gets hot again.

128
00:06:11.160 --> 00:06:13.839
<v Speaker 6>And when he gets hot again, guess what, No one's

129
00:06:13.879 --> 00:06:15.920
<v Speaker 6>going to be leaving their seats either. They're not doing

130
00:06:15.920 --> 00:06:18.879
<v Speaker 6>it now, but Otani every time he comes to home

131
00:06:18.920 --> 00:06:21.759
<v Speaker 6>plate is a big, big threat, regardless of what he

132
00:06:21.839 --> 00:06:24.079
<v Speaker 6>is batting as far as the average. Recently, the guy

133
00:06:24.079 --> 00:06:27.319
<v Speaker 6>who's now become a legitimate threat is the second baseman,

134
00:06:27.399 --> 00:06:31.279
<v Speaker 6>Gavin Lucks three eighty five hit her with nineteen runs

135
00:06:31.279 --> 00:06:33.759
<v Speaker 6>batted in in five home runs over his last twenty

136
00:06:33.839 --> 00:06:36.000
<v Speaker 6>five games. Yeah, and yet we look at the first

137
00:06:36.000 --> 00:06:39.199
<v Speaker 6>seventy nine games of the season, he hit two eleven

138
00:06:39.279 --> 00:06:42.839
<v Speaker 6>and it was not really allowed to eleven. But all

139
00:06:42.839 --> 00:06:44.800
<v Speaker 6>of a sudden he has caught fire. You can see

140
00:06:44.839 --> 00:06:48.319
<v Speaker 6>the difference in him from a confidence standpoint. You know,

141
00:06:48.399 --> 00:06:51.399
<v Speaker 6>the other guy that's also hit well and played position well,

142
00:06:51.519 --> 00:06:54.839
<v Speaker 6>that being a short stopped Miguel Rojas. Rojas who is

143
00:06:54.920 --> 00:06:57.120
<v Speaker 6>hitting at one eight two during the month of July,

144
00:06:57.279 --> 00:06:59.560
<v Speaker 6>well so far in August. Yes, it's early, this is

145
00:06:59.560 --> 00:07:03.439
<v Speaker 6>only thiseenth, but he's hit over three hundred this month.

146
00:07:04.079 --> 00:07:06.439
<v Speaker 4>Dodgers had to make a couple of roster moves today,

147
00:07:06.639 --> 00:07:10.000
<v Speaker 4>justin Robotsky last night, starting in winning pitcher optioned back

148
00:07:10.040 --> 00:07:13.720
<v Speaker 4>to TRIPLEA Oklahoma City to make room for Bobby Miller

149
00:07:13.720 --> 00:07:16.759
<v Speaker 4>to get on the roster today. And also Ryan Brazier

150
00:07:16.879 --> 00:07:19.600
<v Speaker 4>is back in the Dodger bullpen. He is active tonight.

151
00:07:19.680 --> 00:07:21.920
<v Speaker 4>The Dodgers optioning Michael Grove.

152
00:07:22.079 --> 00:07:24.439
<v Speaker 6>This is another story to tim is it? They're talking

221
00:10:42.519 --> 00:10:45.519

301
00:14:08.679 --> 00:14:11.960

<v Speaker 10>and help us win a ball game.

305
00:14:19.639 --> 00:14:22.840
<v Speaker 7>I know, obviously in Oklahoma City it's not like he

306
00:14:22.919 --> 00:14:25.080
<v Speaker 7>blew the world away. But do you feel like coming

307
00:14:25.240 --> 00:14:28.320
<v Speaker 7>back to a major league game can take it to

308
00:14:28.360 --> 00:14:29.519
<v Speaker 7>the next level for him?

309
00:14:29.879 --> 00:14:33.960
<v Speaker 10>I do. I know he's healthy, I know he's excited

310
00:14:33.960 --> 00:14:36.960
<v Speaker 10>to be back here, and you know, coming here and

311
00:14:37.000 --> 00:14:40.480
<v Speaker 10>pitching in this ballpark does something to a player. He's

312
00:14:40.519 --> 00:14:44.519
<v Speaker 10>from Illinois, so I think he's excited to be back here,

313
00:14:44.519 --> 00:14:46.600
<v Speaker 10>and I do think that's going to add, you know,

314
00:14:46.679 --> 00:14:51.320
<v Speaker 10>some more adrenaline to his start. So hopefully that manifests

315
00:14:51.360 --> 00:14:55.840
<v Speaker 10>into a good outing day off for Tale. Yeah, just

316
00:14:55.840 --> 00:14:59.240
<v Speaker 10>a day off for Tale. Obviously, I've run him out

317
00:14:59.279 --> 00:15:02.879
<v Speaker 10>there essentially every day this year outside a couple of days. Uh,

318
00:15:03.120 --> 00:15:04.600
<v Speaker 10>you know, with that funeral he had to.

319
00:15:04.519 --> 00:15:05.080
<v Speaker 5>Go back for.

320
00:15:05.399 --> 00:15:09.919
<v Speaker 10>But this stretch kind of hot, humid. I just felt

321
00:15:09.919 --> 00:15:12.200
<v Speaker 10>it was a good day and KK swinging the bat, well,

322
00:15:13.320 --> 00:15:16.960
<v Speaker 10>get Andy in there, feel good about the defense, and

323
00:15:17.480 --> 00:15:19.960
<v Speaker 10>also given Tail the off day to get ready for

324
00:15:20.080 --> 00:15:23.639
<v Speaker 10>tomorrow and Sonny Gray and then the three games at home.

325
00:15:24.240 --> 00:15:28.240
<v Speaker 7>Honestly, he had, as Bobby Miller earned to call back

326
00:15:28.360 --> 00:15:29.840
<v Speaker 7>and did he pitched the.

327
00:15:29.960 --> 00:15:32.799
<v Speaker 3>Point where from work, you know, it kind of an.

328
00:15:32.759 --> 00:15:37.080
<v Speaker 10>Urgent need here he would be back, you know, I

329
00:15:37.120 --> 00:15:40.960
<v Speaker 10>think it was. It was certainly a matter of circumstance,

330
00:15:42.519 --> 00:15:45.639
<v Speaker 10>but I think that's the way it happens a lot

331
00:15:45.679 --> 00:15:50.279
<v Speaker 10>of times. Also, I think in a perfect world, we'd

332
00:15:50.440 --> 00:15:53.759
<v Speaker 10>probably you know, have him take down another outing down there.

333
00:15:54.600 --> 00:15:57.519
<v Speaker 10>But the way it's kind of played out, we need

334
00:15:57.600 --> 00:16:00.159
<v Speaker 10>him and he was ready for ready when called the

335
00:16:00.200 --> 00:16:03.440
<v Speaker 10>pump today, tops down today.

336
00:16:04.200 --> 00:16:06.279
<v Speaker 11>How do you see Brazier sort of getting back into

337
00:16:06.279 --> 00:16:06.799
<v Speaker 11>this mix.

338
00:16:08.120 --> 00:16:14.440
<v Speaker 10>I see him as a I think given that copex

339
00:16:14.519 --> 00:16:19.960
<v Speaker 10>down Evan, I'd like to stay away from bandits down.

340
00:16:23.080 --> 00:16:25.919
<v Speaker 10>I see him as a leverage guy. I think he

341
00:16:26.000 --> 00:16:28.600
<v Speaker 10>can do an updown, which is helpful. I see him

342
00:16:28.600 --> 00:16:31.919
<v Speaker 10>as a neutral guy. So I feel good about, you know,

343
00:16:31.960 --> 00:16:33.360
<v Speaker 10>whatever spot I put Brazion.

344
00:16:36.000 --> 00:16:40.039
<v Speaker 12>We're just heating the way the winds blowing. Ball gonna

345
00:16:40.039 --> 00:16:40.919
<v Speaker 12>be flying tonight or.

346
00:16:42.759 --> 00:16:42.799
<v Speaker 1>Not.

347
00:16:42.919 --> 00:16:46.559
<v Speaker 10>If you keep the ball down. So you keep the

348
00:16:46.600 --> 00:16:48.279
<v Speaker 10>ball down, you're gonna be all right. But if you

349
00:16:48.320 --> 00:16:51.679
<v Speaker 10>get it up by the belt buckle, there's gonna be

350
00:16:51.720 --> 00:16:52.759
<v Speaker 10>some big numbers put up.

351
00:16:53.879 --> 00:16:55.399
<v Speaker 12>Dave, don't say, lewis.

352
00:16:55.200 --> 00:16:57.320
<v Speaker 5>You looking ask like a bigger picture of Dodgers question?

353
00:16:57.919 --> 00:17:01.159
<v Speaker 7>What are the characteristics of his culture.

354
00:17:00.799 --> 00:17:02.720
<v Speaker 5>That makes you guys do so well annually?

355
00:17:06.039 --> 00:17:10.519
<v Speaker 10>As far as the fan base or the or the players, Yeah,

356
00:17:11.599 --> 00:17:17.279
<v Speaker 10>I think, you know. I think certainly you don't win

357
00:17:17.359 --> 00:17:23.319
<v Speaker 10>without good players. I think Billy Gasprino and our our

358
00:17:23.759 --> 00:17:29.680
<v Speaker 10>scouting department does a fantastic job of finding talent, vetting

359
00:17:29.720 --> 00:17:35.039
<v Speaker 10>the people, and getting good baseball people. I think player

360
00:17:35.039 --> 00:17:37.799
<v Speaker 10>development is also a big part of it. And I

361
00:17:37.799 --> 00:17:39.599
<v Speaker 10>think at the major league level, I think we do

362
00:17:39.640 --> 00:17:42.720
<v Speaker 10>a good job of having a culture of getting the

363
00:17:42.759 --> 00:17:45.920
<v Speaker 10>best out of guys and making guys feel comfortable but

364
00:17:46.039 --> 00:17:50.599
<v Speaker 10>playing to win. And you know, this day and age,

365
00:17:50.640 --> 00:17:54.720
<v Speaker 10>guys are playing for themselves a lot, some cases understandably so.

366
00:17:54.880 --> 00:17:56.400
<v Speaker 10>But I think we do as good a job as

367
00:17:56.440 --> 00:18:00.000
<v Speaker 10>anyone for playing for for you know, the Dodge.

368
00:18:00.680 --> 00:18:03.519
<v Speaker 2>All right, there's David Roberts talking about who's available, who's

369
00:18:03.559 --> 00:18:05.640
<v Speaker 2>not in the bullpen tonight, and then again about the

370
00:18:05.640 --> 00:18:08.839
<v Speaker 2>culture they have put together at this Dodgers organization, a

371
00:18:08.880 --> 00:18:11.920
<v Speaker 2>winning culture in La Donald dug Out. Brought to you

372

390
00:19:08.960 --> 00:19:11.400
<v Speaker 1>Joining Tim Kates on Dodgers on deck.

391
00:19:11.440 --> 00:19:13.240
<v Speaker 7>I accept everybody for who they are.

392
00:19:13.359 --> 00:19:16.880
<v Speaker 1>This is Dodger inside, David Basse.

393
00:19:16.960 --> 00:19:19.920
<v Speaker 3>All right, DV. Bobby Miller he's back.

394
00:19:20.880 --> 00:19:23.400
<v Speaker 7>Yes he is, and I know he's looking forward to

395
00:19:23.440 --> 00:19:24.839
<v Speaker 7>this start and you.

396
00:19:24.799 --> 00:19:26.559
<v Speaker 5>Know, proving a lot of critics wrong.

397
00:19:27.000 --> 00:19:30.680
<v Speaker 7>It's funny, Tim, last year and into spring training this year,

398
00:19:30.759 --> 00:19:34.640
<v Speaker 7>there were so many people filling up the Bobby Miller bandwagon.

399
00:19:34.799 --> 00:19:38.799
<v Speaker 7>It's hilarious how quickly they have all jumped off after

400
00:19:38.839 --> 00:19:42.000
<v Speaker 7>a rough start and obviously a shoulder issue to begin

401
00:19:42.079 --> 00:19:45.480
<v Speaker 7>the year. So everybody that I spoke to in that

402
00:19:45.599 --> 00:19:49.559
<v Speaker 7>clubhouse is really rooting for Bobby Miller to get his

403
00:19:49.720 --> 00:19:52.599
<v Speaker 7>season on track. And man, how big would that be

404
00:19:52.720 --> 00:19:55.079
<v Speaker 7>for the Dodgers to be able to get Bobby Miller

405
00:19:55.200 --> 00:19:57.839
<v Speaker 7>to look like he did last year. That would be

406
00:19:57.880 --> 00:20:01.039
<v Speaker 7>a huge boost to a rotation that has been battered

407
00:20:01.079 --> 00:20:02.640
<v Speaker 7>and bruised all season long.

408
00:20:02.839 --> 00:20:05.519
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, hit by injury again last night with Tyler Glasnew

409
00:20:05.640 --> 00:20:09.599
<v Speaker 2>placed on the IL with elbow tendoninas DV, where did

410
00:20:09.599 --> 00:20:11.839
<v Speaker 2>this come from you had a chance to talk to Tyler, right.

411
00:20:12.759 --> 00:20:16.279
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, last Wednesday in Milwaukee, I watched him throw his

412
00:20:16.359 --> 00:20:20.519
<v Speaker 7>bullpen session. Jack Flaherty actually alerted it to me because

413
00:20:20.559 --> 00:20:23.480
<v Speaker 7>he was going out there to watch glass Now's bullpen

414
00:20:23.559 --> 00:20:27.359
<v Speaker 7>as well, and he completed a full bullpen session. But

415
00:20:27.480 --> 00:20:30.440
<v Speaker 7>it was the day after is the way glass Now

416
00:20:30.480 --> 00:20:34.359
<v Speaker 7>explained it. And earlier this afternoon Tyler glass noow spoke

417
00:20:34.440 --> 00:20:38.400
<v Speaker 7>about the mysterious elbow tendonitis in his pitching arm.

418
00:20:38.920 --> 00:20:40.799
<v Speaker 9>No, just like after a bullpen, just a little sore,

419
00:20:40.920 --> 00:20:45.640
<v Speaker 9>nothing crazy, And I just think they wanted me to

420
00:20:45.759 --> 00:20:47.559
<v Speaker 9>go on the aisle, just give me more time, kind

421
00:20:47.559 --> 00:20:49.519
<v Speaker 9>of having postseason as the priority.

422
00:20:50.200 --> 00:20:53.240
<v Speaker 7>Dave said, yesterday, you fought to try to make today's start.

423
00:20:53.640 --> 00:20:55.400
<v Speaker 7>Did you feel well enough to start today?

424
00:20:55.799 --> 00:20:58.480
<v Speaker 9>I feel fine now. Yeah. I think that's the most

425
00:20:58.480 --> 00:21:04.119
<v Speaker 9>frustrating thing. I think it's just I don't know. I

426
00:21:03.559 --> 00:21:05.960
<v Speaker 9>I didn't want to go on the il, you know,

427
00:21:06.079 --> 00:21:09.880
<v Speaker 9>but I think the decision was made, and I think

428
00:21:09.920 --> 00:21:12.440
<v Speaker 9>maybe I'm not like logically thinking or something, but I

429
00:21:12.480 --> 00:21:14.880
<v Speaker 9>feel fine. I just think their main priority, like I said,

430
00:21:14.920 --> 00:21:17.039
<v Speaker 9>is postseason, so I kind of didn't have like a

431
00:21:18.440 --> 00:21:20.160
<v Speaker 9>they didn't yeah, I guess I'm just on the ile.

432
00:21:20.240 --> 00:21:20.319
<v Speaker 10>Now.

433
00:21:20.480 --> 00:21:23.200
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, you've been able to process all that when you

434
00:21:23.279 --> 00:21:25.720
<v Speaker 7>kind of let them know you felt something and them

435
00:21:26.000 --> 00:21:26.839
<v Speaker 7>playing it safe.

436
00:21:27.960 --> 00:21:30.440
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, yeah, I got like spoke my mind and they

437
00:21:30.559 --> 00:21:33.000
<v Speaker 9>spoke theirs and they ultimately get the decision. And it's

438
00:21:33.119 --> 00:21:34.400
<v Speaker 9>not like you know what I mean, it's out of

439
00:21:35.359 --> 00:21:38.039
<v Speaker 9>like trying to decide the best decision for me and

440
00:21:38.079 --> 00:21:39.880
<v Speaker 9>the team. So it's not like you know what I mean,

441
00:21:39.880 --> 00:21:41.880
<v Speaker 9>Like I trust all the medical staff and the coaches

442
00:21:41.920 --> 00:21:43.839
<v Speaker 9>and front office, and if that's what they want to do,

443
00:21:43.880 --> 00:21:45.519
<v Speaker 9>that's what they want to do. And I just I'm

444
00:21:45.559 --> 00:21:46.640
<v Speaker 9>looking forward to the postseason.

445
00:21:46.640 --> 00:21:50.839
<v Speaker 5>Now, all right, Tyler Glass, Now you heard it there.

446
00:21:50.920 --> 00:21:51.200
<v Speaker 4>Tim.

447
00:21:51.319 --> 00:21:52.599
<v Speaker 5>He did not seem like.

448
00:21:52.920 --> 00:21:56.079
<v Speaker 7>He was that hurt, which is good news because the

449
00:21:56.119 --> 00:21:58.160
<v Speaker 7>Dodgers in Glass now believe he'll be back.

450
00:21:58.200 --> 00:22:00.119
<v Speaker 5>After this fifteen day il.

451
00:22:00.480 --> 00:22:02.319
<v Speaker 3>David had driven by Ford. There's one thing we like.

452

00:22:07.160 --> 00:22:12.079
<v Speaker 2>be called F one fifteen Freddie Freeman a milestone yesterday, DV.

455
00:22:13.319 --> 00:22:14.759
<v Speaker 5>No doubt a big one too.

456
00:22:14.880 --> 00:22:18.480
<v Speaker 7>It's not cal Ripkin or Lou Garrick S or Steve Garveyes.

457
00:22:19.039 --> 00:22:23.599
<v Speaker 7>But he played his two thousand career game yesterday. Freddie

458
00:22:23.680 --> 00:22:27.720
<v Speaker 7>Freeman joined two hundred and fifty other major league players

459
00:22:28.039 --> 00:22:32.720
<v Speaker 7>that had played two thousand career games. And before yesterday's game,

460
00:22:32.839 --> 00:22:35.880
<v Speaker 7>I talked to Freddy about that milestone and it was

461
00:22:35.920 --> 00:22:37.599
<v Speaker 7>not just a round number to him.

462
00:22:38.119 --> 00:22:40.400
<v Speaker 12>Yeah, I'm sure there's a few of those two thousand

463
00:22:40.400 --> 00:22:42.720
<v Speaker 12>games where I might have taken a day off here

464
00:22:42.799 --> 00:22:46.039
<v Speaker 12>or there, but that's that's just too I am. I

465
00:22:46.079 --> 00:22:47.640
<v Speaker 12>love it. I love being on the field. I love

466
00:22:47.680 --> 00:22:52.240
<v Speaker 12>playing the game of baseball. But again it maybe it'd

467
00:22:52.240 --> 00:22:54.240
<v Speaker 12>be different if I didn't have hopefully a lot more

468
00:22:54.279 --> 00:22:57.960
<v Speaker 12>games in my future. So right now I've been add

469
00:22:58.000 --> 00:23:03.519
<v Speaker 12>two thousand as another step on hopefully end twenty five hundred.

470
00:23:03.559 --> 00:23:05.680
<v Speaker 12>You know what I said like that, But right now

471
00:23:05.799 --> 00:23:09.319
<v Speaker 12>two thousand I think it is special because just moves

472
00:23:09.319 --> 00:23:11.759
<v Speaker 12>have been able to say, hopefully I'm play play well

473
00:23:11.839 --> 00:23:13.119
<v Speaker 12>enough long enough.

474
00:23:13.359 --> 00:23:13.599
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

475
00:23:13.720 --> 00:23:15.559
<v Speaker 5>It represents you being out there.

476
00:23:15.680 --> 00:23:16.079
<v Speaker 13>Yeah, and.

477
00:23:18.200 --> 00:23:22.799
<v Speaker 5>It just means.

478
00:23:20.960 --> 00:23:23.960
<v Speaker 12>I've learned how to play twenty one sixty two. I've

479
00:23:24.079 --> 00:23:26.880
<v Speaker 12>played well enough that so you want me to be

480
00:23:26.920 --> 00:23:29.680
<v Speaker 12>on the field. There's a lot that goes into it

481
00:23:29.720 --> 00:23:33.200
<v Speaker 12>to be able to leave the two thousand games, So

482
00:23:33.240 --> 00:23:35.119
<v Speaker 12>I do. I It does get a strong on my

483
00:23:35.200 --> 00:23:39.960
<v Speaker 12>face just because I know how hard it is, how

484
00:23:40.039 --> 00:23:41.680
<v Speaker 12>much work I have put in to be able to

485
00:23:41.720 --> 00:23:46.599
<v Speaker 12>achieve two thousand teams. But hopefully it's just another step

486
00:23:46.920 --> 00:23:47.680
<v Speaker 12>to more.

487
00:23:47.559 --> 00:23:48.960
<v Speaker 3>Games, no doubt.

488
00:23:49.000 --> 00:23:51.519
<v Speaker 7>Freddy Freeman wants to play one hundred and sixty two.

489
00:23:51.599 --> 00:23:54.839
<v Speaker 7>That's how he got to two thousand career games. And

490
00:23:54.920 --> 00:23:58.000
<v Speaker 7>how about this, the fraternity is even smaller tim with

491
00:23:58.200 --> 00:24:01.200
<v Speaker 7>players that have played at least two thousand games and

492
00:24:01.279 --> 00:24:04.400
<v Speaker 7>have hit five hundred doubles. Freddie Freeman is only the

493
00:24:04.480 --> 00:24:07.079
<v Speaker 7>sixty third player to have that distinction.

494
00:24:07.359 --> 00:24:08.920
<v Speaker 3>That is so cool, David appreciate it.

<v Speaker 1>And now joined by David bas saying, here's LA Dodgers

555
00:27:30.200 --> 00:27:35.000
<v Speaker 1>broadcaster and World Series champion Dodger Rick Monday.

556
00:27:35.599 --> 00:27:35.799
<v Speaker 5>Rick.

557
00:27:35.839 --> 00:27:39.400
<v Speaker 7>The Dodgers are looking to continue the winning ways from

558
00:27:39.559 --> 00:27:44.359
<v Speaker 7>last night, and the bullpen, especially Michael Kopek came up big.

559
00:27:44.839 --> 00:27:47.359
<v Speaker 6>Well, he came up big, and I think anytime you

560
00:27:47.400 --> 00:27:49.480
<v Speaker 6>throw pitches one hundred and three miles an hour, he

561
00:27:49.519 --> 00:27:51.880
<v Speaker 6>also threw two others that were one hundred or higher.

562
00:27:53.279 --> 00:27:56.519
<v Speaker 6>It's a new new look that we see Dave Roberts,

563
00:27:56.559 --> 00:27:59.759
<v Speaker 6>and it appears that at least for right now, that's

564
00:27:59.759 --> 00:28:02.079
<v Speaker 6>going to be the situation. That'll be Kopek that comes

565
00:28:02.119 --> 00:28:03.759
<v Speaker 6>in to try and nail down the victories of the

566
00:28:03.839 --> 00:28:04.279
<v Speaker 6>ninth inning?

567
00:28:04.599 --> 00:28:07.519
<v Speaker 7>How did you like that sixth inning last night? Especially

568
00:28:07.680 --> 00:28:09.759
<v Speaker 7>center fielder Kevin Kiermyer.

569
00:28:10.000 --> 00:28:12.200
<v Speaker 6>Well, he runs it down. If it's hit, he has

570
00:28:12.200 --> 00:28:14.039
<v Speaker 6>a chance to catch it. If it's in the ballpark,

571
00:28:14.359 --> 00:28:15.920
<v Speaker 6>he may be able to take a cab and go

572
00:28:15.960 --> 00:28:17.880
<v Speaker 6>catch it even if it's outside the ballpark. But he

573
00:28:17.880 --> 00:28:20.279
<v Speaker 6>continues to do a lot of things. We think of

574
00:28:20.000 --> 00:28:23.279
<v Speaker 6>the catch and the throw to a home plate in Milwaukee,

575
00:28:23.400 --> 00:28:26.279
<v Speaker 6>the double play. It was a big spot in that

576
00:28:26.359 --> 00:28:30.319
<v Speaker 6>particular ball game. He's just a guy, David that understands

577
00:28:30.319 --> 00:28:32.720
<v Speaker 6>how to play defense, takes great deal of pride in

578
00:28:32.839 --> 00:28:37.119
<v Speaker 6>doing it. I really enjoy as a former center fielder,

579
00:28:37.160 --> 00:28:40.680
<v Speaker 6>I enjoy seeing his setup to begin with, how he prepares,

580
00:28:41.160 --> 00:28:44.359
<v Speaker 6>how he positions himself, and then how he reads the

581
00:28:44.400 --> 00:28:46.880
<v Speaker 6>ball off the bat. I've not seen him take a

582
00:28:46.920 --> 00:28:49.480
<v Speaker 6>bad route at a ball, and I've not seen him

583
00:28:49.480 --> 00:28:52.200
<v Speaker 6>get a bad jump on a ball either. So he

584
00:28:52.240 --> 00:28:55.359
<v Speaker 6>reads the ball off the bat. Center field, second base,

585
00:28:55.400 --> 00:28:58.160
<v Speaker 6>and shortstop. You do have the luxury from a defensive

586
00:28:58.200 --> 00:29:00.839
<v Speaker 6>standpoint of seeing the placement of the on the bat.

587
00:29:00.880 --> 00:29:02.839
<v Speaker 6>In other words, is it a jam shot, is it

588
00:29:02.880 --> 00:29:04.720
<v Speaker 6>on the end of the bat. You don't have that

589
00:29:04.799 --> 00:29:07.400
<v Speaker 6>same thing at first, at third, left and right. That's

590
00:29:07.440 --> 00:29:10.240
<v Speaker 6>why sometimes you see outfielders and left and right that

591
00:29:10.319 --> 00:29:13.839
<v Speaker 6>may break back on a ball that's not hit particularly well.

592
00:29:13.839 --> 00:29:15.559
<v Speaker 6>It's either a jam shot or hit off the end

593
00:29:15.559 --> 00:29:18.400
<v Speaker 6>of the bat because they're going off of a the

594
00:29:18.559 --> 00:29:23.799
<v Speaker 6>swing that they see and then the trajectory initially of

595
00:29:23.880 --> 00:29:26.519
<v Speaker 6>the baseball. You start to add those two together. You know,

596
00:29:26.559 --> 00:29:29.039
<v Speaker 6>you take thousands and thousands of fly balls and you

597
00:29:29.160 --> 00:29:33.440
<v Speaker 6>see them swing trajectory, you kind of add up as, oh,

598
00:29:33.480 --> 00:29:35.200
<v Speaker 6>that ball must have been hit pretty well. But then

599
00:29:35.240 --> 00:29:37.880
<v Speaker 6>that's why sometimes left and right you get a little

600
00:29:37.880 --> 00:29:38.359
<v Speaker 6>bit fooled.

601
00:29:38.640 --> 00:29:41.319
<v Speaker 7>Is that the reason why he can play more shallow

602
00:29:41.359 --> 00:29:43.680
<v Speaker 7>than some center fielders and be able to go back

603
00:29:43.680 --> 00:29:44.160
<v Speaker 7>and catch it.

604
00:29:44.240 --> 00:29:47.599
<v Speaker 6>He has confidence in going back. The most shallow of

605
00:29:47.720 --> 00:29:50.200
<v Speaker 6>center fielders playing. I have to go back a long

606
00:29:50.240 --> 00:29:53.720
<v Speaker 6>long time Paul Blair with the Baltimore Orios. Yeah, I

607
00:29:53.720 --> 00:29:57.480
<v Speaker 6>mean it was silly how shallow he played, because he

608
00:29:57.559 --> 00:30:00.599
<v Speaker 6>went back faster than a lot of people it forward,

609
00:30:00.799 --> 00:30:03.119
<v Speaker 6>and he did not get as good a break coming

610
00:30:03.160 --> 00:30:05.359
<v Speaker 6>in as he did going back. And that was the

611
00:30:05.400 --> 00:30:08.359
<v Speaker 6>most shallow of any center field that I've ever seen

612
00:30:08.400 --> 00:30:09.720
<v Speaker 6>play on a consistent basis.

613
00:30:09.759 --> 00:30:11.880
<v Speaker 5>He was like an eight time Gold Glover out there

614
00:30:11.880 --> 00:30:12.559
<v Speaker 5>in center field.

615
00:30:13.000 --> 00:30:13.839
<v Speaker 6>He was not a slouch.

616
00:30:13.960 --> 00:30:15.960
<v Speaker 5>And trust me, how about.

617
00:30:15.720 --> 00:30:19.160
<v Speaker 7>The bat of Kevin Kirmaya Rick. He is known for

618
00:30:19.200 --> 00:30:21.720
<v Speaker 7>his glove, but he said he's been working with the

619
00:30:21.759 --> 00:30:25.960
<v Speaker 7>Dodger hitting coaches with his hand placement, and obviously it's working.

620
00:30:26.160 --> 00:30:28.480
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, it is. He also had an RBI single his

621
00:30:28.480 --> 00:30:30.519
<v Speaker 6>first time up in the ballgame. Besides a three run

622
00:30:30.559 --> 00:30:33.720
<v Speaker 6>home run that came on a one one pitch. The

623
00:30:33.839 --> 00:30:35.799
<v Speaker 6>RBI single, by the way, came on no balls and

624
00:30:35.839 --> 00:30:38.720
<v Speaker 6>two strikes count. So he's gaining some confidence in what

625
00:30:38.799 --> 00:30:42.480
<v Speaker 6>a transition he's made. He understands and it really appreciates

626
00:30:42.519 --> 00:30:44.559
<v Speaker 6>the fact that he's on a ball club that has

627
00:30:44.640 --> 00:30:47.119
<v Speaker 6>high expectations to win each and every night.

628
00:30:47.440 --> 00:30:50.519
<v Speaker 7>He has said this multiple times. Coming to the Dodgers

629
00:30:50.559 --> 00:30:52.960
<v Speaker 7>has rejuvenated his career.

630
00:30:53.119 --> 00:30:56.160
<v Speaker 6>Yeah. Well, I think years and years of playing on

631
00:30:56.200 --> 00:30:59.079
<v Speaker 6>that artificial surface too. Yeah, takes a wear and tear

632
00:30:59.079 --> 00:31:01.680
<v Speaker 6>on your body. You know, if cows don't eat it,

633
00:31:01.720 --> 00:31:03.519
<v Speaker 6>you don't particularly want to play on it every now.

634
00:31:04.480 --> 00:31:08.119
<v Speaker 7>He actually said that he feels like his legs are fresher.

635
00:31:07.720 --> 00:31:09.160
<v Speaker 5>Being on grass exactly.

636
00:31:09.720 --> 00:31:12.480
<v Speaker 6>There's more cushion to it. It's not as rough. Here's

637
00:31:12.480 --> 00:31:15.519
<v Speaker 6>the deal about artificial surfaces. Regardless of how good the

638
00:31:15.599 --> 00:31:18.279
<v Speaker 6>quality is, and the quality now is much much better

639
00:31:18.319 --> 00:31:21.480
<v Speaker 6>than when it first came out, if you have any

640
00:31:21.519 --> 00:31:25.200
<v Speaker 6>aches and pains, the artificial surface will find it and

641
00:31:25.240 --> 00:31:27.880
<v Speaker 6>it won't take long. I'm not talking about a week.

642
00:31:28.279 --> 00:31:30.559
<v Speaker 6>I'm talking about maybe a few innings in a ball game.

643
00:31:30.799 --> 00:31:33.799
<v Speaker 6>The constant pounding of doing it. That's why you know,

644
00:31:34.079 --> 00:31:36.400
<v Speaker 6>I have no idea how football players played on the

645
00:31:36.480 --> 00:31:39.440
<v Speaker 6>artificial surface for years and years, because I know what

646
00:31:39.480 --> 00:31:41.759
<v Speaker 6>it was like just to run on. And one of

647
00:31:41.799 --> 00:31:43.519
<v Speaker 6>the injuries that I had was diving for a ball

648
00:31:43.559 --> 00:31:46.480
<v Speaker 6>in the Astrodome years and years ago, where they basically

649
00:31:46.559 --> 00:31:49.160
<v Speaker 6>laid down. My understanding is they laid down the artificial

650
00:31:49.200 --> 00:31:52.000
<v Speaker 6>turf right over the top of a pavement.

651
00:31:52.799 --> 00:31:53.799
<v Speaker 5>That was it.

652
00:31:53.839 --> 00:31:58.640
<v Speaker 6>It was not cushion, and it bothered my back. In fact,

653
00:31:58.680 --> 00:32:02.200
<v Speaker 6>the first year that that I was with the Dodgers RICO.

654
00:32:02.279 --> 00:32:07.000
<v Speaker 7>When you think about those artificial surface stadiums, the multipurpose stadiums,

655
00:32:07.079 --> 00:32:11.279
<v Speaker 7>was the Astrodome. The one you least enjoyed playing on

656
00:32:11.559 --> 00:32:13.480
<v Speaker 7>was there one worse than another.

657
00:32:13.559 --> 00:32:17.279
<v Speaker 6>This one in August or July, because if we think back,

658
00:32:17.359 --> 00:32:19.240
<v Speaker 6>I say this one, I'm talking about the one that

659
00:32:20.400 --> 00:32:22.559
<v Speaker 6>was built in where the parking lot and the new

660
00:32:22.599 --> 00:32:26.119
<v Speaker 6>structures are beyond the left field fence. This is new

661
00:32:26.119 --> 00:32:30.559
<v Speaker 6>Bush Stadium. The other one circular stadium. Not much air

662
00:32:30.599 --> 00:32:33.319
<v Speaker 6>got into it. And remember also that for a great

663
00:32:33.400 --> 00:32:36.839
<v Speaker 6>number of years they had artificial surface, and the surface

664
00:32:36.880 --> 00:32:40.279
<v Speaker 6>temperature in July and August in Saint Louis would be

665
00:32:40.279 --> 00:32:41.920
<v Speaker 6>one hundred and forty plus degrees.

666
00:32:42.440 --> 00:32:44.759
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, that's not fun. Didn't you tell me you would

667
00:32:45.039 --> 00:32:47.119
<v Speaker 7>dump your cleats in some water.

668
00:32:47.440 --> 00:32:50.160
<v Speaker 6>Jose Cardinell did it one afternoon, right. It was to

669
00:32:50.200 --> 00:32:54.440
<v Speaker 6>the Chicago Cubs. He misunderstood what it was that they

670
00:32:54.440 --> 00:32:56.599
<v Speaker 6>put lining in the shoes the Cardinal players, and he

671
00:32:56.640 --> 00:32:58.799
<v Speaker 6>talked to them about it. Guys who do all kinds

672
00:32:58.799 --> 00:33:02.119
<v Speaker 6>of things. They take a lettuce leaf and put it

673
00:33:02.200 --> 00:33:05.079
<v Speaker 6>underneath their camp years and years ago. They thought, well

674
00:33:05.079 --> 00:33:06.640
<v Speaker 6>that will keep them cool. That was kind of the

675
00:33:06.640 --> 00:33:10.599
<v Speaker 6>air conditioning system. Well, he put aluminum foil in his shoes.

676
00:33:10.640 --> 00:33:13.400
<v Speaker 6>Oh no, that was And I looked out. It looked

677
00:33:13.440 --> 00:33:16.240
<v Speaker 6>like he was doing a hat dance. Fourth or fifth

678
00:33:16.240 --> 00:33:18.240
<v Speaker 6>any he came into the dugout and actually, you know,

679
00:33:18.319 --> 00:33:20.799
<v Speaker 6>you would have a big five gallon bucket of ammonia

680
00:33:20.880 --> 00:33:22.680
<v Speaker 6>water with a towel in it, and that's how you

681
00:33:22.759 --> 00:33:26.720
<v Speaker 6>kind of refreshed. Didn't have air conditioning in the dugouts,

682
00:33:27.000 --> 00:33:29.039
<v Speaker 6>and he put one foot at a time in the

683
00:33:29.039 --> 00:33:31.440
<v Speaker 6>ammonia bucket to try and cool his feet off.

684
00:33:31.599 --> 00:33:33.759
<v Speaker 7>Well, you don't have to worry about any of that now, Rick,

685
00:33:33.799 --> 00:33:35.519
<v Speaker 7>you're in the press box, safe and sound.

<v Speaker 3>Yeah, for sure, happy to be back.

723
00:35:16.519 --> 00:35:18.599
<v Speaker 5>I know you were yesterday. Man, you were ready to

724
00:35:18.599 --> 00:35:19.239
<v Speaker 5>go yesterday.

725
00:35:19.239 --> 00:35:21.480
<v Speaker 11>It felt like I got out to the bullpen before

726
00:35:21.480 --> 00:35:23.840
<v Speaker 11>the game. I'm been chomping at the bit to get back,

727
00:35:23.880 --> 00:35:24.239
<v Speaker 11>for sure.

728
00:35:24.440 --> 00:35:27.360
<v Speaker 7>What's this process been like for you? Obviously been through

729
00:35:27.400 --> 00:35:29.559
<v Speaker 7>it before, but I'm sure it's never fun.

730
00:35:29.960 --> 00:35:32.559
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, you know it was long. You know, I did

731
00:35:32.559 --> 00:35:34.639
<v Speaker 11>the same thing in twenty one, and right before I

732
00:35:34.679 --> 00:35:36.679
<v Speaker 11>was about to get activated, I got hit in the

733
00:35:36.719 --> 00:35:39.719
<v Speaker 11>head with a line drive. And then this year, you know,

734
00:35:39.760 --> 00:35:41.360
<v Speaker 11>I was on my way back and about to start

735
00:35:41.360 --> 00:35:43.559
<v Speaker 11>throwing lobby p's and stuff and had a little setback

736
00:35:43.960 --> 00:35:47.800
<v Speaker 11>with the calf. But no, I'm feeling good. I think

737
00:35:47.800 --> 00:35:50.039
<v Speaker 11>I had enough you know outings in Triple A to

738
00:35:50.320 --> 00:35:52.360
<v Speaker 11>get my stuff, you know, kind of where I want

739
00:35:52.360 --> 00:35:57.519
<v Speaker 11>it and hopefully get in there soon and help for

740
00:35:57.599 --> 00:35:57.840
<v Speaker 11>a win.

741
00:35:58.280 --> 00:36:01.119
<v Speaker 7>So I guess you've made the adjustment. You're only squatting

742
00:36:01.119 --> 00:36:02.519
<v Speaker 7>now four hundred pounds.

743
00:36:03.000 --> 00:36:05.199
<v Speaker 11>No, I haven't been doing a whole lot of squatting lately, uh,

744
00:36:05.519 --> 00:36:07.960
<v Speaker 11>But no, I've been able to get back to pretty

745
00:36:08.000 --> 00:36:10.800
<v Speaker 11>much you know, normal routine, you know, working out, you know,

746
00:36:10.920 --> 00:36:13.440
<v Speaker 11>running stuff like that. So feeling good.

747
00:36:13.679 --> 00:36:15.840
<v Speaker 7>I guess the silver lining and all this, it's not

748
00:36:15.960 --> 00:36:19.079
<v Speaker 7>your arms. So I'm sure you're able to refine your pitches,

749
00:36:19.199 --> 00:36:21.039
<v Speaker 7>get the feel for your pitches and be ready.

750
00:36:21.199 --> 00:36:24.519
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, for sure, you know, and and and especially you

751
00:36:24.559 --> 00:36:26.360
<v Speaker 11>know early on I got to throw, and even when

752
00:36:26.360 --> 00:36:28.039
<v Speaker 11>I heard it again, I got to keep throwing. So

753
00:36:28.159 --> 00:36:30.519
<v Speaker 11>you know, my arm's been you know, pretty much the

754
00:36:30.519 --> 00:36:33.239
<v Speaker 11>only thing that I've been able to you know, use

755
00:36:33.280 --> 00:36:36.519
<v Speaker 11>and do you know, throwing and stuff the last three months.

756
00:36:36.559 --> 00:36:39.559
<v Speaker 11>But yeah, you know, my my outings in Triple A,

757
00:36:39.679 --> 00:36:42.199
<v Speaker 11>everything got a little better, you know, the more I threw,

758
00:36:42.320 --> 00:36:44.960
<v Speaker 11>so you know, hopefully, hopefully it'll all be there.

759
00:36:45.320 --> 00:36:49.079
<v Speaker 7>Ryan Brazier is back. He's activated for tonight's game. Ryan,

760
00:36:49.119 --> 00:36:51.400
<v Speaker 7>You've been around this game for a long time, but

761
00:36:51.719 --> 00:36:55.559
<v Speaker 7>being out and watching the team from the outside, do

762
00:36:55.639 --> 00:36:58.079
<v Speaker 7>you kind of have a better perspective on what is

763
00:36:58.119 --> 00:37:00.559
<v Speaker 7>needed and how the team's heartbeat is right now?

764
00:37:02.239 --> 00:37:04.280
<v Speaker 11>That's a tough question. You know, watching on TV, you

765
00:37:04.360 --> 00:37:06.360
<v Speaker 11>kind of see things you don't see, you know, at

766
00:37:06.360 --> 00:37:08.960
<v Speaker 11>the field, and you know, I almost feel like, you know,

767
00:37:09.000 --> 00:37:11.199
<v Speaker 11>you go through it. You know, wins and losses are

768
00:37:11.599 --> 00:37:14.440
<v Speaker 11>tougher or or you know, I get more excited you know,

769
00:37:14.480 --> 00:37:17.559
<v Speaker 11>than being here like every day. But you know, I'm

770
00:37:17.599 --> 00:37:19.800
<v Speaker 11>definitely looking forward to being back every day and being

771
00:37:19.840 --> 00:37:20.639
<v Speaker 11>around everybody.

772
00:37:20.800 --> 00:37:23.880
<v Speaker 7>Your locker mate here in Saint Louis is Alex Vesia

773
00:37:24.159 --> 00:37:27.679
<v Speaker 7>and Michael Kopak. Here comes Bessia right on cue. How

774
00:37:27.760 --> 00:37:29.960
<v Speaker 7>much have you been living and dying with all your

775
00:37:30.159 --> 00:37:31.119
<v Speaker 7>bullpen buddies?

776
00:37:31.400 --> 00:37:32.480
<v Speaker 3>Oh the whole time?

777
00:37:32.599 --> 00:37:35.079
<v Speaker 11>You know, every game that that you watch, you know,

778
00:37:36.039 --> 00:37:37.679
<v Speaker 11>you know, kind of just like in the bullpen. You know,

779
00:37:37.719 --> 00:37:39.519
<v Speaker 11>as soon as the bullpen gets in the game, everybody

780
00:37:39.559 --> 00:37:41.719
<v Speaker 11>kind of locks in and turns on a switch where

781
00:37:42.119 --> 00:37:43.440
<v Speaker 11>you know, if you're next, you.

782
00:37:43.360 --> 00:37:44.480
<v Speaker 3>Know, you got to get ready to go.

783
00:37:44.559 --> 00:37:46.480
<v Speaker 11>But you know it's kind of hard not to do that,

784
00:37:46.639 --> 00:37:48.440
<v Speaker 11>you know, or even watching on TV, you know, and

785
00:37:48.519 --> 00:37:51.199
<v Speaker 11>especially if you know, we give up some runs or

786
00:37:51.280 --> 00:37:54.079
<v Speaker 11>the lead or you know, whatever the case is, or

787
00:37:54.119 --> 00:37:55.719
<v Speaker 11>if we you know, make some big pitches to get

788
00:37:55.719 --> 00:37:57.559
<v Speaker 11>out of an inning. It just, you know, it's a

789
00:37:57.559 --> 00:37:58.960
<v Speaker 11>little different than actually being here.

790
00:37:59.039 --> 00:38:02.039
<v Speaker 7>When you're watching the game on TV. Do you watch

791
00:38:02.079 --> 00:38:06.280
<v Speaker 7>an inning six seventh and think that's my spot right there,

792
00:38:06.320 --> 00:38:07.360
<v Speaker 7>those are my hitters?

793
00:38:07.639 --> 00:38:10.079
<v Speaker 11>No, not really, you know, I think even last year,

794
00:38:10.760 --> 00:38:13.400
<v Speaker 11>you know, Doc, you know, puts guys in and just

795
00:38:13.440 --> 00:38:16.760
<v Speaker 11>about every situation. So you know, I think everybody here,

796
00:38:16.920 --> 00:38:19.119
<v Speaker 11>you know, has the attend of pitching in close games,

797
00:38:19.280 --> 00:38:22.880
<v Speaker 11>you know, regardless of winning or losing. And sometimes obviously

798
00:38:22.920 --> 00:38:24.800
<v Speaker 11>you don't get to, you know, pick when you go in,

799
00:38:25.559 --> 00:38:27.920
<v Speaker 11>and especially with the bullpen like ours, where like I said,

800
00:38:27.920 --> 00:38:30.400
<v Speaker 11>everybody gets like leverage situations, you.

801
00:38:30.360 --> 00:38:31.320
<v Speaker 3>Know, depending on the day.

802
00:38:31.360 --> 00:38:33.000
<v Speaker 9>But no, I don't.

803
00:38:33.000 --> 00:38:35.079
<v Speaker 11>I don't know if I if I could, just because

804
00:38:35.679 --> 00:38:37.239
<v Speaker 11>you know, I feel like everybody's kind of the same.

805
00:38:37.440 --> 00:38:39.800
<v Speaker 5>I was thinking, maybe you got the sweats on your couch.

806
00:38:40.199 --> 00:38:41.079
<v Speaker 3>No, I get I.

807
00:38:41.039 --> 00:38:43.639
<v Speaker 11>Do get the sweats, but only only because I'm you know,

808
00:38:44.079 --> 00:38:46.119
<v Speaker 11>getting trying to get these guys through their inning. Since

809
00:38:46.159 --> 00:38:46.639
<v Speaker 11>I'm not here.

810
00:38:46.960 --> 00:38:49.960
<v Speaker 7>How well do you know Michael Kopek, Obviously you played

811
00:38:50.000 --> 00:38:52.559
<v Speaker 7>a lot of years, face Kevin Kiermeyer a lot of years.

812
00:38:52.840 --> 00:38:55.719
<v Speaker 7>They've talked about how their careers have been rejuvenated being

813
00:38:55.719 --> 00:38:56.480
<v Speaker 7>on the Dodgers.

814
00:38:56.920 --> 00:38:59.079
<v Speaker 11>I mean, I've obviously can tell you first hand from

815
00:38:59.159 --> 00:39:02.119
<v Speaker 11>last year. You know, they do stuff different here and

816
00:39:02.559 --> 00:39:05.360
<v Speaker 11>played against Cope a lot, and obviously kier Myer being

817
00:39:05.360 --> 00:39:06.960
<v Speaker 11>in the same division for you know, all the years

818
00:39:07.000 --> 00:39:09.400
<v Speaker 11>I was in Boston. But yeah, you know, I think

819
00:39:09.480 --> 00:39:11.119
<v Speaker 11>I think guys want to come here because they see

820
00:39:11.159 --> 00:39:13.960
<v Speaker 11>people come here and you know, even if they're having success,

821
00:39:14.119 --> 00:39:16.280
<v Speaker 11>you know, have more success. So I think that that

822
00:39:16.920 --> 00:39:18.960
<v Speaker 11>this is a place for everybody wants to come.

823
00:39:19.280 --> 00:39:23.679
<v Speaker 7>What is the reason for that? Is it, Connor McGinnis?

824
00:39:23.880 --> 00:39:26.119
<v Speaker 7>Is it just the whole system? Can you put your

825
00:39:26.119 --> 00:39:26.920
<v Speaker 7>finger on why?

826
00:39:27.800 --> 00:39:28.039
<v Speaker 13>Man?

827
00:39:28.039 --> 00:39:28.480
<v Speaker 3>Culture?

828
00:39:28.639 --> 00:39:31.199
<v Speaker 11>Honestly, you know, and and I think it starts at

829
00:39:31.239 --> 00:39:34.239
<v Speaker 11>the top, but uh no, I don't. I don't know

830
00:39:34.280 --> 00:39:35.880
<v Speaker 11>that you can put a finger on just one person,

831
00:39:35.920 --> 00:39:38.039
<v Speaker 11>because you know, we have a huge training staff, huge

832
00:39:38.079 --> 00:39:42.599
<v Speaker 11>coaching staff, you know, having kids around and keeping it

833
00:39:42.639 --> 00:39:44.320
<v Speaker 11>you know, keeping it easy in here all the time,

834
00:39:44.360 --> 00:39:47.400
<v Speaker 11>and I just you know, and obviously winning helps all that,

835
00:39:47.480 --> 00:39:50.000
<v Speaker 11>but I think it's more of a culture thing.

836
00:39:50.360 --> 00:39:53.000
<v Speaker 7>Mookie said the only silver landing of being out for

837
00:39:53.039 --> 00:39:55.239
<v Speaker 7>six weeks was he got to spend time with his

838
00:39:55.280 --> 00:39:58.960
<v Speaker 7>family that he never had the opportunity to do before.

839
00:39:59.480 --> 00:40:01.440
<v Speaker 5>Did you have that same experience?

840
00:40:01.599 --> 00:40:03.559
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, so they were. They were kind of on and

841
00:40:03.599 --> 00:40:05.800
<v Speaker 11>off with me the last like three months, and then

842
00:40:05.800 --> 00:40:07.480
<v Speaker 11>the last month and a half they were pretty much

843
00:40:07.480 --> 00:40:08.320
<v Speaker 11>with me the whole time.

844
00:40:08.679 --> 00:40:09.599
<v Speaker 3>Whether it was all of.

845
00:40:09.599 --> 00:40:11.360
<v Speaker 11>Them or like my son went with me to I'll

846
00:40:11.360 --> 00:40:14.119
<v Speaker 11>Passo when we were there, and yeah, you know, you

847
00:40:14.159 --> 00:40:15.639
<v Speaker 11>got to take the good when you can get it,

848
00:40:15.920 --> 00:40:18.480
<v Speaker 11>especially you know, during a bad situation and not being

849
00:40:18.519 --> 00:40:23.079
<v Speaker 11>able to play. But now I'm here and ready to

850
00:40:23.079 --> 00:40:23.679

<v Speaker 4>Thanks again, Tim. We count you down to the first

920
00:43:33.360 --> 00:43:35.719
<v Speaker 4>pitch here in Saint Louis. As we look out at

921
00:43:35.719 --> 00:43:38.480
<v Speaker 4>the Saint Louis arch right next to the Mississippi River

922
00:43:38.920 --> 00:43:39.719
<v Speaker 4>Bush Stadium.

923
00:43:39.840 --> 00:43:40.400
<v Speaker 5>Should be a.

924
00:43:40.440 --> 00:43:44.079
<v Speaker 4>Very good crowd here tonight. Starting an hour earlier tonight

925
00:43:44.079 --> 00:43:47.280
<v Speaker 4>than we did last night, Bobby Miller gets the start

926
00:43:47.559 --> 00:43:52.840
<v Speaker 4>activated today, Dodgers sending Justin Robleski down and Bobby Miller

927
00:43:52.960 --> 00:43:55.239
<v Speaker 4>is up one and two. At the major league level,

928
00:43:55.440 --> 00:43:58.519
<v Speaker 4>the era is trouble sum at eight o seven. However,

929
00:43:59.039 --> 00:44:01.920
<v Speaker 4>the most successful Bobby had this year. Was his first

930
00:44:02.039 --> 00:44:04.320
<v Speaker 4>start of the year happened to be against the Cardinals

931
00:44:04.599 --> 00:44:06.880
<v Speaker 4>on the twenty ninth of March at Dodgers Stadium, when

932
00:44:06.880 --> 00:44:09.960
<v Speaker 4>he punched out eleven over six innings of work and

933
00:44:10.119 --> 00:44:11.039
<v Speaker 4>got his only win.

934
00:44:11.320 --> 00:44:14.800
<v Speaker 6>Frustrating start of this season for Bobby Miller with the

935
00:44:14.840 --> 00:44:17.159
<v Speaker 6>injuries that he had big dropoff from last year where

936
00:44:17.159 --> 00:44:19.800
<v Speaker 6>he was eleven and four in the twenty two starts

937
00:44:19.920 --> 00:44:22.960
<v Speaker 6>that he made well this year, the lefties have hit

938
00:44:23.039 --> 00:44:25.159
<v Speaker 6>three to eight against him. Right handers have hit three

939
00:44:25.159 --> 00:44:27.599
<v Speaker 6>to oho two. So we're going to find out about

940
00:44:27.599 --> 00:44:30.360
<v Speaker 6>Bobby Miller. We heard there was a dropoff in velocity

941
00:44:30.360 --> 00:44:34.280
<v Speaker 6>in his rehab starts. He needs consistency in that strength zone.

942
00:44:34.480 --> 00:44:37.320
<v Speaker 6>And for Bobby Miller, he understands full well. He has

943
00:44:37.400 --> 00:44:40.000
<v Speaker 6>a tired bullpen behind him. In a day game tomorrow

944
00:44:40.039 --> 00:44:42.960
<v Speaker 6>and getaway day before they go back to Los Angeles.

945
00:44:42.639 --> 00:44:47.639
<v Speaker 4>For Polante from San Clementy High School, and you see, Irvine,

946
00:44:48.000 --> 00:44:50.280
<v Speaker 4>there's a guy that might get ambushed a little bit.

947
00:44:50.280 --> 00:44:53.239
<v Speaker 4>When you look at his numbers. The opposition hitters are

948
00:44:53.280 --> 00:44:56.679
<v Speaker 4>batting four fifty five against him on the first pitch

949
00:44:56.760 --> 00:44:59.000
<v Speaker 4>and two of the five home runs he's allowed have

950
00:44:59.119 --> 00:44:59.840
<v Speaker 4>also come on.

951
00:44:59.760 --> 00:45:00.519
<v Speaker 3>The first pitch.

952
00:45:00.559 --> 00:45:02.880
<v Speaker 6>And here's the reason why. Over the last two years

953
00:45:02.880 --> 00:45:05.199
<v Speaker 6>when he's been at the big league level, first pitch

954
00:45:05.320 --> 00:45:08.159
<v Speaker 6>fast bows seventy one percent of the time. But here's

955
00:45:08.159 --> 00:45:10.880
<v Speaker 6>the deal too, he gets two strikes on hitters the

956
00:45:10.960 --> 00:45:14.280
<v Speaker 6>last two years is below a two hundred batting average

957
00:45:14.280 --> 00:45:15.360
<v Speaker 6>against Cardinals.

958
00:45:15.400 --> 00:45:18.239
<v Speaker 4>Struggling a bit, Dodgers need to take advantage. The Cars

959
00:45:18.280 --> 00:45:21.599
<v Speaker 4>are four and ten so far in August. They've lost

960
00:45:21.639 --> 00:45:24.599
<v Speaker 4>five in a row. And how the Dodgers have won

961
00:45:24.679 --> 00:45:28.199
<v Speaker 4>four of five against Saint Louis this season. Coming into

962
00:45:28.199 --> 00:45:31.760
<v Speaker 4>this ballgame, Dodgers seventy two and fifty one, three games

963
00:45:31.880 --> 00:45:34.880
<v Speaker 4>up in the West and the Cardinals ten games back

964
00:45:34.920 --> 00:45:39.000
<v Speaker 4>in the Central at sixty and sixty two. Polante against

965
00:45:39.079 --> 00:45:41.280
<v Speaker 4>Bobby Miller here at Bush Stadium.

966
00:45:41.320 --> 00:45:43.840
<v Speaker 2>Tim, all right, thank you very much, coming up first

967
00:45:43.840 --> 00:45:46.639
<v Speaker 2>pitch from Bush Stadium in Saint Louis, Dodgers and Cardinals.

968
00:45:46.679 --> 00:45:49.960
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers already know they need to keep winning to maintain

969
00:45:50.039 --> 00:45:53.480
<v Speaker 2>this three game lead in the Division over Arizona and

970
00:45:53.639 --> 00:45:56.480
<v Speaker 2>San Diego. First pitches next, I'm sim Kates has been

971
00:45:56.519 --> 00:45:59.599
<v Speaker 2>Moronggo Casino Dodgers on deck of the Los Angeles Dodgers.

972
00:46:00.079 --> 00:46:00.400
<v Speaker 5>Do you know
