Speaker 2: we'll hear from Rick Monday and Tim Neverett out at
Speaker 2: the Gallpin Motors Broadcast Boo as well.
Speaker 3: Yesterday in Saint Louis.
Speaker 2: It was a night of first as the Dodgers came
Speaker 2: back to beat the Cardinals. Justin Robleski got the start.
Speaker 2: The twenty four year old rookie left hander would go
Speaker 2: five innings, four runs, four hits, three strikeouts. He had
Speaker 2: the early run support Cavin Lucks, a solo home run
Speaker 2: is eighth of the season that came in the second innings.
Speaker 2: The Dodgers grabbed a one to nothing lead. Kevin Kiermeyer
Speaker 2: then an RBI single that gave the Dodgers a two
Speaker 2: to nothing lead, but the Dodger nemesis, Paul Goldschmid old
Speaker 2: Goldie a two run home run in the bottom of
Speaker 2: the second inning even things up at two. The Cardinals
Speaker 2: took the lead in the third. They tacked on another
Speaker 2: home run in the fifth. As Saint Louis was up
Speaker 2: four to two. Justin Robleski went to five innings. In
Speaker 2: the top half of the sixth inning, the Dodgers offense
Speaker 2: finally got it going.
Speaker 3: Mookie Betts got it started.
Speaker 4: And Michaelis pitch, Mookie swings.
Speaker 5: Hits a drive to the left. This Paul is way
Speaker 5: back and it has got a home run Mookie Betts.
Speaker 4: Since returning from the injured list his twelfth of the year,
Speaker 4: and the Dodgers get some instant offense from Mookie.
Speaker 5: It is four to three.
Speaker 2: Mookie Bets with the solo home run, Dodgers down four
Speaker 2: to three. That home run three hundred and ninety six
Speaker 2: feet to left and the Dodgers were just getting going
Speaker 2: in that sixth inning. Miguel Rojas later in the inning
Speaker 2: an RBI single that tied the game at four. Then
Speaker 2: Kevin Kiirmeyer came up and with one swing of the
Speaker 2: bat gave the Dodgers the lead.
Speaker 4: Won one pitch, swinging in a high fly ball right center.
Speaker 5: It's deep, it's headed back, it has gone.
Speaker 4: It's a three run home run for Kevin Kirmeyer.
Speaker 5: Oh, how do you like that?
Speaker 4: A big sixth thinning for the Dodgers, says Kevin Kermeyer
Speaker 4: hits his fifth home run of the year, a three
Speaker 4: run shot with two men out, and it is seven
Speaker 4: to four Los Angeles.
Speaker 2: At absolute bomb from Kevin Kiermeyer four hundred and fifteen
Speaker 2: feet to right center field the Bush Stadium. Three run
Speaker 2: home run part of a five run sixth inning for
Speaker 2: the Dodgers. They took a seven to four lead Justin
Speaker 2: Robleski turned it over to the bullpen, who gave up
Speaker 2: two runs in the bottom half of the sixth that
Speaker 2: made it a seven to six Dodgers lead. As Evan
Speaker 2: Phillips would pitch the seventh, Joe Kelly pitched the eighth,
Speaker 2: put up a zero, and Michael Kopek came in for
Speaker 2: the first time to close things out for the Dodgers
Speaker 2: and had a one, two three ninth in. He struck
Speaker 2: out a pair in that ninth. Dodgers hang on and
Speaker 2: beat the Cardinals last night, seven to six to snap
Speaker 2: their two game losing streak. Justin Robleski we mentioned it
Speaker 2: was a night of first he picked up his first
Speaker 2: major league win.
Speaker 3: Congratulations to him.
Speaker 2: Michael Kopek picked up his first save as a Dodger,
Speaker 2: his tenth on the season overall, as the Dodgers improved
Speaker 2: as seventy two and fifty one. With the Padres and
Speaker 2: Diamondbacks both losing last night, the Dodgers pick up a
Speaker 2: game in the standings, now three games up in the division,
Speaker 2: and today they look to make it two straight over
Speaker 2: Saint Louis. Bobby Miller on the mound first pitch at
Speaker 2: four fifteen and with more, Let's head out to the
Speaker 2: Gallpin Motors broadcast booth and as we say hello to
Speaker 2: Rick Monday, Tim Nevertt, guys.
Speaker 4: Thanks Tim. It is a beautiful afternoon in the evening
Speaker 4: here in Saint Louis, Missouri, sunshine, not a cloud to
Speaker 4: be seen anywhere, and the temperatures in the high eighties
Speaker 4: as the Dodgers and Cardinals get ready for Game two
Speaker 4: of this three game set. Dodgers three games up now
Speaker 4: after winning last night and seeing the Potreys and Diamondbacks
Speaker 4: lose twenty one games over five hundred and seventy two
Speaker 4: and fifty one. The Cardinals, meantime, have dropped to ten
Speaker 4: back in the Central in a second place time with Cincinnati.
Speaker 4: They are sixty and sixty two and have lost five straight.
Speaker 4: Andre Polante out of UC Irvine. He will get the
Speaker 4: start for the Cardinals tonight, and Bobby Miller taking the
Speaker 4: spot of Tyler Glasnow in the starting rotation, just called
Speaker 4: up from TRIPAA, Oklahoma City and moll Last night we saw,
Speaker 4: of course the Dodgers win seventh to six to take
Speaker 4: Game one here, but also the emergence of what could
Speaker 4: be the new Dodgers closer and Michael Kopek.
Speaker 6: Yeah, all he did was coming in through one hundred
Speaker 6: and three miles an hour. One of the pitches, quite
Speaker 6: a few were above one hundred, so he struck out
Speaker 6: two of the three batters that he faced to close
Speaker 6: out in the ninth inning. Is Dodger ball club tim
Speaker 6: continues to really flex their wings when they score first.
Speaker 6: They're now fifty three wins and just thirteen losses when
Speaker 6: they put a tally upon the board. And what about
Speaker 6: Kevin Kiermyer comes on, you know, not a bad pickup
Speaker 6: to begin with. We've already seen what he could do
Speaker 6: defensively well last night two for four offensively, knocked in
Speaker 6: four runs, including the big blast, the three run home
Speaker 6: run coming in the sixth inning.
Speaker 4: And Mookie Beat's got him going in the sixth inning
Speaker 4: with a home run. Since coming off the shelf, missing
Speaker 4: forty five games due to a broken hand, Mookie's hitting
Speaker 4: four hundred. He's eight for twenty, two home runs and
Speaker 4: four RBIs the.
Speaker 6: Dodgers getting some pretty good ballace up and down throughout
Speaker 6: the lineup. And I mentioned that because for sho hey Otani,
Speaker 6: as much as he has done offensive standpoint, I mean,
Speaker 6: it's been absolutely off the charts. However, if we look
Speaker 6: at the last nine games, he's barely hitting one hundred
Speaker 6: one oh three to be exact. But the other guy
Speaker 6: is picking up the slack until he gets hot again.
Speaker 6: And when he gets hot again, guess what, No one's
Speaker 6: going to be leaving their seats either. They're not doing
Speaker 6: it now, but Otani every time he comes to home
Speaker 6: plate is a big, big threat, regardless of what he
Speaker 6: is batting as far as the average. Recently, the guy
Speaker 6: who's now become a legitimate threat is the second baseman,
Speaker 6: Gavin Lucks three eighty five hit her with nineteen runs
Speaker 6: batted in in five home runs over his last twenty
Speaker 6: five games. Yeah, and yet we look at the first
Speaker 6: seventy nine games of the season, he hit two eleven
Speaker 6: and it was not really allowed to eleven. But all
Speaker 6: of a sudden he has caught fire. You can see
Speaker 6: the difference in him from a confidence standpoint. You know,
Speaker 6: the other guy that's also hit well and played position well,
Speaker 6: that being a short stopped Miguel Rojas. Rojas who is
Speaker 6: hitting at one eight two during the month of July,
Speaker 6: well so far in August. Yes, it's early, this is
Speaker 6: only thiseenth, but he's hit over three hundred this month.
Speaker 4: Dodgers had to make a couple of roster moves today,
Speaker 4: justin Robotsky last night, starting in winning pitcher optioned back
Speaker 4: to TRIPLEA Oklahoma City to make room for Bobby Miller
Speaker 4: to get on the roster today. And also Ryan Brazier
Speaker 4: is back in the Dodger bullpen. He is active tonight.
Speaker 4: The Dodgers optioning Michael Grove.
Speaker 6: This is another story to tim is it? They're talking
Speaker 6: briefly with Dave Roberts on the bus coming to the
Speaker 6: Beaufort today. We touched upon it last night. This is
Speaker 6: a bullpen the Dodgers have. They're tired. They have used
Speaker 6: a lot of relievers day in, day out, night in,
Speaker 6: night out, and you don't know what you're going to
Speaker 6: get tonight from Bobby Miller. One thing that we are
Speaker 6: going to be looking at. There seemed to be a
Speaker 6: drop off in velocity and his reham starts. We'll see
Speaker 6: how that works tonight. They need Miller to go as
Speaker 6: long and as hard as he can.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Miller one in two with an eight o seven
Speaker 4: ERA among major league starters. That's the highest ra Andre
Speaker 4: Polonte four and six and a four to two one
Speaker 4: on the era. Polante makes his thirteenth start, his twenty
Speaker 4: second overall appearance for the Cardinals. Dodgers Cardinals, coming up
Speaker 4: from Bush Stadium in Saint Louis.

Speaker 2: but they got the win. Most importantly, now seventy two

Speaker 7: This man, Kevin Kiirmeyer own the sixth inning tonight. Let's
Speaker 7: start with the go ahead three run home run off
Speaker 7: of Andrew Kiddridge. If he went to back to backsliders
Speaker 7: against you, were you expecting that?
Speaker 8: Yeah?
Speaker 5: I was.
Speaker 8: He's either your sinker or slider, and I was just
Speaker 8: trying to see the ball up and got a good
Speaker 8: pitch to hit and thankfully hit it good enough to
Speaker 8: you know, get it out.
Speaker 3: And spark a huge momentum force right there.
Speaker 7: Your first home run as the Dodger big What was

Speaker 8: but surely, but I feel great. And you know, anytime
Speaker 8: I'm in the laugh. I'm just trying to create a
Speaker 8: spark or some energy anyway I can.
Speaker 7: You also made a huge catch to end the sixth
Speaker 7: inning with the Cardinals threatening. How were you able to
Speaker 7: get such a good jump off that ball?
Speaker 3: Playing so in.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, I love being out there in centerfield.
Speaker 8: That's where I'm most comfortable. I just see the ball,
Speaker 8: listen to my instincts, go get it. There's no thinking,
Speaker 8: it's just go get it.
Speaker 3: And got a good.
Speaker 5: Jump right there.
Speaker 8: And I always let you guys know, I dream of

Speaker 1: This is the LA Dodgers Injury Report.
Speaker 2: Presented by UCLA Healthy official medical partner the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Speaker 2: Tyler Glasnell on the iel at the right elbow ten
Speaker 2: to night is. The Dodgers didn't make a move today.
Speaker 2: They recall Bobby Miller, who gets the start, activated Ryan
Speaker 2: Brasier off the injured list, and they have optioned Michael
Speaker 2: Grove and Justin Robluski to Triple A. Oklahoma City brews
Speaker 2: Dar gratterol on the iel at the right hamstring strain.
Speaker 2: Chris Taylor was in Oklahoma City last night working his
Speaker 2: way back from a groin injury. Blake Trinan is in
Speaker 2: Tulsa working with the Double A Drillers coming back from
Speaker 2: right hip discomfort. Yoshinobiyamamoto is going to throw a sim
Speaker 2: game next week with the strained rotator cuff. Max Munsey
Speaker 2: Tommy Edmund on rehab assignments. Both expected to join the
Speaker 2: Dodgers in this next homestand in the series against the Mariners.
Speaker 2: All right, let's set back out to Saint Louis. Check
Speaker 2: out the Dodgers skipper any Dave?
Speaker 7: Do you think questions for Dave?
Speaker 6: Dave?
Speaker 9: Can you just describe Dave?
Speaker 3: Can you talk about the pressure in the dugouts with Dave?
Speaker 5: Robbers Dave?
Speaker 7: What should we expect from Bobby Miller? Or do you
Speaker 7: even know, what do we expect.
Speaker 10: You know what, I really don't. I mean, I'm expecting
Speaker 10: him to throw the baseball. Well, you know, the pitch
Speaker 10: count is fine as far as the build up, so
Speaker 10: you know, I just want him go out there and
Speaker 10: phill up the strike zone, use his pitch mix, and
Speaker 10: give us a chance to win. But I know Bobby's
Speaker 10: excited to get back here, be back in the big leagues,
Speaker 10: and help us win a ball game.
Speaker 7: I know, obviously in Oklahoma City it's not like he
Speaker 7: blew the world away. But do you feel like coming
Speaker 7: back to a major league game can take it to
Speaker 7: the next level for him?
Speaker 10: I do. I know he's healthy, I know he's excited
Speaker 10: to be back here, and you know, coming here and
Speaker 10: pitching in this ballpark does something to a player. He's
Speaker 10: from Illinois, so I think he's excited to be back here,
Speaker 10: and I do think that's going to add, you know,
Speaker 10: some more adrenaline to his start. So hopefully that manifests
Speaker 10: into a good outing day off for Tale. Yeah, just
Speaker 10: a day off for Tale. Obviously, I've run him out
Speaker 10: there essentially every day this year outside a couple of days. Uh,
Speaker 10: you know, with that funeral he had to.
Speaker 5: Go back for.
Speaker 10: But this stretch kind of hot, humid. I just felt
Speaker 10: it was a good day and KK swinging the bat, well,
Speaker 10: get Andy in there, feel good about the defense, and
Speaker 10: also given Tail the off day to get ready for
Speaker 10: tomorrow and Sonny Gray and then the three games at home.
Speaker 7: Honestly, he had, as Bobby Miller earned to call back
Speaker 7: and did he pitched the.
Speaker 3: Point where from work, you know, it kind of an.
Speaker 10: Urgent need here he would be back, you know, I
Speaker 10: think it was. It was certainly a matter of circumstance,
Speaker 10: but I think that's the way it happens a lot
Speaker 10: of times. Also, I think in a perfect world, we'd
Speaker 10: probably you know, have him take down another outing down there.
Speaker 10: But the way it's kind of played out, we need
Speaker 10: him and he was ready for ready when called the
Speaker 10: pump today, tops down today.
Speaker 11: How do you see Brazier sort of getting back into
Speaker 11: this mix.
Speaker 10: I see him as a I think given that copex
Speaker 10: down Evan, I'd like to stay away from bandits down.
Speaker 10: I see him as a leverage guy. I think he
Speaker 10: can do an updown, which is helpful. I see him
Speaker 10: as a neutral guy. So I feel good about, you know,
Speaker 10: whatever spot I put Brazion.
Speaker 12: We're just heating the way the winds blowing. Ball gonna
Speaker 12: be flying tonight or.
Speaker 1: Not.
Speaker 10: If you keep the ball down. So you keep the
Speaker 10: ball down, you're gonna be all right. But if you
Speaker 10: get it up by the belt buckle, there's gonna be
Speaker 10: some big numbers put up.
Speaker 12: Dave, don't say, lewis.
Speaker 5: You looking ask like a bigger picture of Dodgers question?
Speaker 7: What are the characteristics of his culture.
Speaker 5: That makes you guys do so well annually?
Speaker 10: As far as the fan base or the or the players, Yeah,
Speaker 10: I think, you know. I think certainly you don't win
Speaker 10: without good players. I think Billy Gasprino and our our
Speaker 10: scouting department does a fantastic job of finding talent, vetting
Speaker 10: the people, and getting good baseball people. I think player
Speaker 10: development is also a big part of it. And I
Speaker 10: think at the major league level, I think we do
Speaker 10: a good job of having a culture of getting the
Speaker 10: best out of guys and making guys feel comfortable but
Speaker 10: playing to win. And you know, this day and age,
Speaker 10: guys are playing for themselves a lot, some cases understandably so.
Speaker 10: But I think we do as good a job as
Speaker 10: anyone for playing for for you know, the Dodge.
Speaker 2: All right, there's David Roberts talking about who's available, who's
Speaker 2: not in the bullpen tonight, and then again about the
Speaker 2: culture they have put together at this Dodgers organization, a
Speaker 2: winning culture in La Donald dug Out. Brought to you
Speaker 2: by Service Titan. Dave Roberts a Titan in his own right.
Speaker 2: He's got a plan before his team hits the field.
Speaker 2: You need one for your growing contracting business too, Like
Speaker 2: Service Titan, help you implement it. Learn more at Service
Speaker 2: Titan dot com. We continue here on Dodgers on Deck.
Speaker 2: We'll check in with David Vassay, we'll hear from Tyler
Speaker 2: Glassnow lead you out to first pitch, which in the
Speaker 2: Dodgers and Cardinals. I'm Tim Kates's Los Angeles Dodgers Audio.
Speaker 1: Now this is Marongo Casino, Dodgers on Deck hot your
Speaker 1: home for the blue all season law.
Speaker 2: Law Dodgers and Cardinals on this Saturday.
Speaker 3: Bobby Miller makes his return.
Speaker 2: Andrew Polante out of San Clemente via UC Irvin. He
Speaker 2: gets the vault for St. Louis the umpiring crew for
Speaker 2: tonight's game, brought to by Fred Loyer and and celebrating
Speaker 2: fifty years of providing reliable and affordable car insurance for
Speaker 2: you and your family.
Speaker 3: First pitch and Bush Stadium coming up at four fifteen.
Speaker 1: Joining Tim Kates on Dodgers on deck.
Speaker 7: I accept everybody for who they are.
Speaker 1: This is Dodger inside, David Basse.
Speaker 3: All right, DV. Bobby Miller he's back.
Speaker 7: Yes he is, and I know he's looking forward to
Speaker 7: this start and you.
Speaker 5: Know, proving a lot of critics wrong.
Speaker 7: It's funny, Tim, last year and into spring training this year,
Speaker 7: there were so many people filling up the Bobby Miller bandwagon.
Speaker 7: It's hilarious how quickly they have all jumped off after
Speaker 7: a rough start and obviously a shoulder issue to begin
Speaker 7: the year. So everybody that I spoke to in that
Speaker 7: clubhouse is really rooting for Bobby Miller to get his
Speaker 7: season on track. And man, how big would that be
Speaker 7: for the Dodgers to be able to get Bobby Miller
Speaker 7: to look like he did last year. That would be
Speaker 7: a huge boost to a rotation that has been battered
Speaker 7: and bruised all season long.
Speaker 2: Yeah, hit by injury again last night with Tyler Glasnew
Speaker 2: placed on the IL with elbow tendoninas DV, where did
Speaker 2: this come from you had a chance to talk to Tyler, right.
Speaker 7: Yeah, last Wednesday in Milwaukee, I watched him throw his
Speaker 7: bullpen session. Jack Flaherty actually alerted it to me because
Speaker 7: he was going out there to watch glass Now's bullpen
Speaker 7: as well, and he completed a full bullpen session. But
Speaker 7: it was the day after is the way glass Now
Speaker 7: explained it. And earlier this afternoon Tyler glass noow spoke
Speaker 7: about the mysterious elbow tendonitis in his pitching arm.
Speaker 9: No, just like after a bullpen, just a little sore,
Speaker 9: nothing crazy, And I just think they wanted me to
Speaker 9: go on the aisle, just give me more time, kind
Speaker 9: of having postseason as the priority.
Speaker 7: Dave said, yesterday, you fought to try to make today's start.
Speaker 7: Did you feel well enough to start today?
Speaker 9: I feel fine now. Yeah. I think that's the most
Speaker 9: frustrating thing. I think it's just I don't know. I
Speaker 9: I didn't want to go on the il, you know,
Speaker 9: but I think the decision was made, and I think
Speaker 9: maybe I'm not like logically thinking or something, but I
Speaker 9: feel fine. I just think their main priority, like I said,
Speaker 9: is postseason, so I kind of didn't have like a
Speaker 9: they didn't yeah, I guess I'm just on the ile.
Speaker 10: Now.
Speaker 7: Yeah, you've been able to process all that when you
Speaker 7: kind of let them know you felt something and them
Speaker 7: playing it safe.
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, I got like spoke my mind and they
Speaker 9: spoke theirs and they ultimately get the decision. And it's
Speaker 9: not like you know what I mean, it's out of
Speaker 9: like trying to decide the best decision for me and
Speaker 9: the team. So it's not like you know what I mean,
Speaker 9: Like I trust all the medical staff and the coaches
Speaker 9: and front office, and if that's what they want to do,
Speaker 9: that's what they want to do. And I just I'm
Speaker 9: looking forward to the postseason.
Speaker 5: Now, all right, Tyler Glass, Now you heard it there.
Speaker 4: Tim.
Speaker 5: He did not seem like.
Speaker 7: He was that hurt, which is good news because the
Speaker 7: Dodgers in Glass now believe he'll be back.
Speaker 5: After this fifteen day il.
Speaker 3: David had driven by Ford. There's one thing we like.
Speaker 2: It's choice is fine yours with the four F one
Speaker 2: fifty gas hybrid or all electric. Toughest mark can only
Speaker 2: be called F one fifteen Freddie Freeman a milestone yesterday, DV.
Speaker 5: No doubt a big one too.
Speaker 7: It's not cal Ripkin or Lou Garrick S or Steve Garveyes.
Speaker 7: But he played his two thousand career game yesterday. Freddie
Speaker 7: Freeman joined two hundred and fifty other major league players
Speaker 7: that had played two thousand career games. And before yesterday's game,
Speaker 7: I talked to Freddy about that milestone and it was
Speaker 7: not just a round number to him.
Speaker 12: Yeah, I'm sure there's a few of those two thousand
Speaker 12: games where I might have taken a day off here
Speaker 12: or there, but that's that's just too I am. I
Speaker 12: love it. I love being on the field. I love
Speaker 12: playing the game of baseball. But again it maybe it'd
Speaker 12: be different if I didn't have hopefully a lot more
Speaker 12: games in my future. So right now I've been add
Speaker 12: two thousand as another step on hopefully end twenty five hundred.
Speaker 12: You know what I said like that, But right now
Speaker 12: two thousand I think it is special because just moves
Speaker 12: have been able to say, hopefully I'm play play well
Speaker 12: enough long enough.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: It represents you being out there.
Speaker 13: Yeah, and.
Speaker 5: It just means.
Speaker 12: I've learned how to play twenty one sixty two. I've
Speaker 12: played well enough that so you want me to be
Speaker 12: on the field. There's a lot that goes into it
Speaker 12: to be able to leave the two thousand games, So
Speaker 12: I do. I It does get a strong on my
Speaker 12: face just because I know how hard it is, how
Speaker 12: much work I have put in to be able to
Speaker 12: achieve two thousand teams. But hopefully it's just another step
Speaker 12: to more.
Speaker 3: Games, no doubt.
Speaker 7: Freddy Freeman wants to play one hundred and sixty two.
Speaker 7: That's how he got to two thousand career games. And
Speaker 7: how about this, the fraternity is even smaller tim with
Speaker 7: players that have played at least two thousand games and
Speaker 7: have hit five hundred doubles. Freddie Freeman is only the
Speaker 7: sixty third player to have that distinction.

Speaker 3: I'm Tim Kas's Los Angeles Dodgers Audio.
Speaker 1: Network is Lorongo Casino Dodgers on Tip, Dodgers on deck
Speaker 1: y'all on the official home of LA Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 3: Dodgers and Cardinals.
Speaker 2: Bobby Miller on the Moundy Call from TRIPLEA, Oklahoma City.

Speaker 2: Classes can fill up quickly, so enrolled today and I
Speaker 2: can go to college dot com.
Speaker 1: And now joined by David bas saying, here's LA Dodgers
Speaker 1: broadcaster and World Series champion Dodger Rick Monday.
Speaker 5: Rick.
Speaker 7: The Dodgers are looking to continue the winning ways from
Speaker 7: last night, and the bullpen, especially Michael Kopek came up big.
Speaker 6: Well, he came up big, and I think anytime you
Speaker 6: throw pitches one hundred and three miles an hour, he
Speaker 6: also threw two others that were one hundred or higher.
Speaker 6: It's a new new look that we see Dave Roberts,
Speaker 6: and it appears that at least for right now, that's
Speaker 6: going to be the situation. That'll be Kopek that comes
Speaker 6: in to try and nail down the victories of the
Speaker 6: ninth inning?
Speaker 7: How did you like that sixth inning last night? Especially
Speaker 7: center fielder Kevin Kiermyer.
Speaker 6: Well, he runs it down. If it's hit, he has
Speaker 6: a chance to catch it. If it's in the ballpark,
Speaker 6: he may be able to take a cab and go
Speaker 6: catch it even if it's outside the ballpark. But he
Speaker 6: continues to do a lot of things. We think of
Speaker 6: the catch and the throw to a home plate in Milwaukee,
Speaker 6: the double play. It was a big spot in that
Speaker 6: particular ball game. He's just a guy, David that understands
Speaker 6: how to play defense, takes great deal of pride in
Speaker 6: doing it. I really enjoy as a former center fielder,
Speaker 6: I enjoy seeing his setup to begin with, how he prepares,
Speaker 6: how he positions himself, and then how he reads the
Speaker 6: ball off the bat. I've not seen him take a
Speaker 6: bad route at a ball, and I've not seen him
Speaker 6: get a bad jump on a ball either. So he
Speaker 6: reads the ball off the bat. Center field, second base,
Speaker 6: and shortstop. You do have the luxury from a defensive
Speaker 6: standpoint of seeing the placement of the on the bat.
Speaker 6: In other words, is it a jam shot, is it
Speaker 6: on the end of the bat. You don't have that
Speaker 6: same thing at first, at third, left and right. That's
Speaker 6: why sometimes you see outfielders and left and right that
Speaker 6: may break back on a ball that's not hit particularly well.
Speaker 6: It's either a jam shot or hit off the end
Speaker 6: of the bat because they're going off of a the
Speaker 6: swing that they see and then the trajectory initially of
Speaker 6: the baseball. You start to add those two together. You know,
Speaker 6: you take thousands and thousands of fly balls and you
Speaker 6: see them swing trajectory, you kind of add up as, oh,
Speaker 6: that ball must have been hit pretty well. But then
Speaker 6: that's why sometimes left and right you get a little
Speaker 6: bit fooled.
Speaker 7: Is that the reason why he can play more shallow
Speaker 7: than some center fielders and be able to go back
Speaker 7: and catch it.
Speaker 6: He has confidence in going back. The most shallow of
Speaker 6: center fielders playing. I have to go back a long
Speaker 6: long time Paul Blair with the Baltimore Orios. Yeah, I
Speaker 6: mean it was silly how shallow he played, because he
Speaker 6: went back faster than a lot of people it forward,
Speaker 6: and he did not get as good a break coming
Speaker 6: in as he did going back. And that was the
Speaker 6: most shallow of any center field that I've ever seen
Speaker 6: play on a consistent basis.
Speaker 5: He was like an eight time Gold Glover out there
Speaker 5: in center field.
Speaker 6: He was not a slouch.
Speaker 5: And trust me, how about.
Speaker 7: The bat of Kevin Kirmaya Rick. He is known for
Speaker 7: his glove, but he said he's been working with the
Speaker 7: Dodger hitting coaches with his hand placement, and obviously it's working.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it is. He also had an RBI single his
Speaker 6: first time up in the ballgame. Besides a three run
Speaker 6: home run that came on a one one pitch. The
Speaker 6: RBI single, by the way, came on no balls and
Speaker 6: two strikes count. So he's gaining some confidence in what
Speaker 6: a transition he's made. He understands and it really appreciates
Speaker 6: the fact that he's on a ball club that has
Speaker 6: high expectations to win each and every night.
Speaker 7: He has said this multiple times. Coming to the Dodgers
Speaker 7: has rejuvenated his career.
Speaker 6: Yeah. Well, I think years and years of playing on
Speaker 6: that artificial surface too. Yeah, takes a wear and tear
Speaker 6: on your body. You know, if cows don't eat it,
Speaker 6: you don't particularly want to play on it every now.
Speaker 7: He actually said that he feels like his legs are fresher.
Speaker 5: Being on grass exactly.
Speaker 6: There's more cushion to it. It's not as rough. Here's
Speaker 6: the deal about artificial surfaces. Regardless of how good the
Speaker 6: quality is, and the quality now is much much better
Speaker 6: than when it first came out, if you have any
Speaker 6: aches and pains, the artificial surface will find it and
Speaker 6: it won't take long. I'm not talking about a week.
Speaker 6: I'm talking about maybe a few innings in a ball game.
Speaker 6: The constant pounding of doing it. That's why you know,
Speaker 6: I have no idea how football players played on the
Speaker 6: artificial surface for years and years, because I know what
Speaker 6: it was like just to run on. And one of
Speaker 6: the injuries that I had was diving for a ball
Speaker 6: in the Astrodome years and years ago, where they basically
Speaker 6: laid down. My understanding is they laid down the artificial
Speaker 6: turf right over the top of a pavement.
Speaker 5: That was it.
Speaker 6: It was not cushion, and it bothered my back. In fact,
Speaker 6: the first year that that I was with the Dodgers RICO.
Speaker 7: When you think about those artificial surface stadiums, the multipurpose stadiums,
Speaker 7: was the Astrodome. The one you least enjoyed playing on
Speaker 7: was there one worse than another.
Speaker 6: This one in August or July, because if we think back,
Speaker 6: I say this one, I'm talking about the one that
Speaker 6: was built in where the parking lot and the new
Speaker 6: structures are beyond the left field fence. This is new
Speaker 6: Bush Stadium. The other one circular stadium. Not much air
Speaker 6: got into it. And remember also that for a great
Speaker 6: number of years they had artificial surface, and the surface
Speaker 6: temperature in July and August in Saint Louis would be
Speaker 6: one hundred and forty plus degrees.
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's not fun. Didn't you tell me you would
Speaker 7: dump your cleats in some water.
Speaker 6: Jose Cardinell did it one afternoon, right. It was to
Speaker 6: the Chicago Cubs. He misunderstood what it was that they
Speaker 6: put lining in the shoes the Cardinal players, and he
Speaker 6: talked to them about it. Guys who do all kinds
Speaker 6: of things. They take a lettuce leaf and put it
Speaker 6: underneath their camp years and years ago. They thought, well
Speaker 6: that will keep them cool. That was kind of the
Speaker 6: air conditioning system. Well, he put aluminum foil in his shoes.
Speaker 6: Oh no, that was And I looked out. It looked
Speaker 6: like he was doing a hat dance. Fourth or fifth
Speaker 6: any he came into the dugout and actually, you know,
Speaker 6: you would have a big five gallon bucket of ammonia
Speaker 6: water with a towel in it, and that's how you
Speaker 6: kind of refreshed. Didn't have air conditioning in the dugouts,
Speaker 6: and he put one foot at a time in the
Speaker 6: ammonia bucket to try and cool his feet off.
Speaker 7: Well, you don't have to worry about any of that now, Rick,
Speaker 7: you're in the press box, safe and sound.
Speaker 6: Yeah, check the ac I will, I will.
Speaker 5: I love hearing these stories.
Speaker 7: Rick, you played at a very unique time and seen
Speaker 7: a lot and experienced a lot. Yeah, how's the back today.
Speaker 6: I'll get back to it.

Speaker 7: Ryan Brasier officially activated. Thanks a lot for the time appreciated.
Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure, happy to be back.
Speaker 5: I know you were yesterday. Man, you were ready to
Speaker 5: go yesterday.
Speaker 11: It felt like I got out to the bullpen before
Speaker 11: the game. I'm been chomping at the bit to get back,
Speaker 11: for sure.
Speaker 7: What's this process been like for you? Obviously been through
Speaker 7: it before, but I'm sure it's never fun.
Speaker 11: Yeah, you know it was long. You know, I did
Speaker 11: the same thing in twenty one, and right before I
Speaker 11: was about to get activated, I got hit in the
Speaker 11: head with a line drive. And then this year, you know,
Speaker 11: I was on my way back and about to start
Speaker 11: throwing lobby p's and stuff and had a little setback
Speaker 11: with the calf. But no, I'm feeling good. I think
Speaker 11: I had enough you know outings in Triple A to
Speaker 11: get my stuff, you know, kind of where I want
Speaker 11: it and hopefully get in there soon and help for
Speaker 11: a win.
Speaker 7: So I guess you've made the adjustment. You're only squatting
Speaker 7: now four hundred pounds.
Speaker 11: No, I haven't been doing a whole lot of squatting lately, uh,
Speaker 11: But no, I've been able to get back to pretty
Speaker 11: much you know, normal routine, you know, working out, you know,
Speaker 11: running stuff like that. So feeling good.
Speaker 7: I guess the silver lining and all this, it's not
Speaker 7: your arms. So I'm sure you're able to refine your pitches,
Speaker 7: get the feel for your pitches and be ready.
Speaker 11: Yeah, for sure, you know, and and and especially you
Speaker 11: know early on I got to throw, and even when
Speaker 11: I heard it again, I got to keep throwing. So
Speaker 11: you know, my arm's been you know, pretty much the
Speaker 11: only thing that I've been able to you know, use
Speaker 11: and do you know, throwing and stuff the last three months.
Speaker 11: But yeah, you know, my my outings in Triple A,
Speaker 11: everything got a little better, you know, the more I threw,
Speaker 11: so you know, hopefully, hopefully it'll all be there.
Speaker 7: Ryan Brazier is back. He's activated for tonight's game. Ryan,
Speaker 7: You've been around this game for a long time, but
Speaker 7: being out and watching the team from the outside, do
Speaker 7: you kind of have a better perspective on what is
Speaker 7: needed and how the team's heartbeat is right now?
Speaker 11: That's a tough question. You know, watching on TV, you
Speaker 11: kind of see things you don't see, you know, at
Speaker 11: the field, and you know, I almost feel like, you know,
Speaker 11: you go through it. You know, wins and losses are
Speaker 11: tougher or or you know, I get more excited you know,
Speaker 11: than being here like every day. But you know, I'm
Speaker 11: definitely looking forward to being back every day and being
Speaker 11: around everybody.
Speaker 7: Your locker mate here in Saint Louis is Alex Vesia
Speaker 7: and Michael Kopak. Here comes Bessia right on cue. How
Speaker 7: much have you been living and dying with all your
Speaker 7: bullpen buddies?
Speaker 3: Oh the whole time?
Speaker 11: You know, every game that that you watch, you know,
Speaker 11: you know, kind of just like in the bullpen. You know,
Speaker 11: as soon as the bullpen gets in the game, everybody
Speaker 11: kind of locks in and turns on a switch where
Speaker 11: you know, if you're next, you.
Speaker 3: Know, you got to get ready to go.
Speaker 11: But you know it's kind of hard not to do that,
Speaker 11: you know, or even watching on TV, you know, and
Speaker 11: especially if you know, we give up some runs or
Speaker 11: the lead or you know, whatever the case is, or
Speaker 11: if we you know, make some big pitches to get
Speaker 11: out of an inning. It just, you know, it's a
Speaker 11: little different than actually being here.
Speaker 7: When you're watching the game on TV. Do you watch
Speaker 7: an inning six seventh and think that's my spot right there,
Speaker 7: those are my hitters?
Speaker 11: No, not really, you know, I think even last year,
Speaker 11: you know, Doc, you know, puts guys in and just
Speaker 11: about every situation. So you know, I think everybody here,
Speaker 11: you know, has the attend of pitching in close games,
Speaker 11: you know, regardless of winning or losing. And sometimes obviously
Speaker 11: you don't get to, you know, pick when you go in,
Speaker 11: and especially with the bullpen like ours, where like I said,
Speaker 11: everybody gets like leverage situations, you.
Speaker 3: Know, depending on the day.
Speaker 9: But no, I don't.
Speaker 11: I don't know if I if I could, just because
Speaker 11: you know, I feel like everybody's kind of the same.
Speaker 5: I was thinking, maybe you got the sweats on your couch.
Speaker 3: No, I get I.
Speaker 11: Do get the sweats, but only only because I'm you know,
Speaker 11: getting trying to get these guys through their inning. Since
Speaker 11: I'm not here.
Speaker 7: How well do you know Michael Kopek, Obviously you played
Speaker 7: a lot of years, face Kevin Kiermeyer a lot of years.
Speaker 7: They've talked about how their careers have been rejuvenated being
Speaker 7: on the Dodgers.
Speaker 11: I mean, I've obviously can tell you first hand from
Speaker 11: last year. You know, they do stuff different here and
Speaker 11: played against Cope a lot, and obviously kier Myer being
Speaker 11: in the same division for you know, all the years
Speaker 11: I was in Boston. But yeah, you know, I think
Speaker 11: I think guys want to come here because they see
Speaker 11: people come here and you know, even if they're having success,
Speaker 11: you know, have more success. So I think that that
Speaker 11: this is a place for everybody wants to come.
Speaker 7: What is the reason for that? Is it, Connor McGinnis?
Speaker 7: Is it just the whole system? Can you put your
Speaker 7: finger on why?
Speaker 13: Man?
Speaker 3: Culture?
Speaker 11: Honestly, you know, and and I think it starts at
Speaker 11: the top, but uh no, I don't. I don't know
Speaker 11: that you can put a finger on just one person,
Speaker 11: because you know, we have a huge training staff, huge
Speaker 11: coaching staff, you know, having kids around and keeping it
Speaker 11: you know, keeping it easy in here all the time,
Speaker 11: and I just you know, and obviously winning helps all that,
Speaker 11: but I think it's more of a culture thing.
Speaker 7: Mookie said the only silver landing of being out for
Speaker 7: six weeks was he got to spend time with his
Speaker 7: family that he never had the opportunity to do before.
Speaker 5: Did you have that same experience?
Speaker 11: Yeah, so they were. They were kind of on and
Speaker 11: off with me the last like three months, and then
Speaker 11: the last month and a half they were pretty much
Speaker 11: with me the whole time.
Speaker 3: Whether it was all of.
Speaker 11: Them or like my son went with me to I'll
Speaker 11: Passo when we were there, and yeah, you know, you
Speaker 11: got to take the good when you can get it,
Speaker 11: especially you know, during a bad situation and not being
Speaker 11: able to play. But now I'm here and ready to
Speaker 11: get going.
Speaker 1: No doubt.
Speaker 7: Everybody's excited. Ryan Brazier is out of the Arizona Desert
Speaker 7: and here in Saint Louis.
Speaker 5: Thanks a lot for the time and great to see
Speaker 5: you smile again.

Speaker 4: Bush Stadium.
Speaker 5: Should be a.
Speaker 4: Very good crowd here tonight. Starting an hour earlier tonight
Speaker 4: than we did last night, Bobby Miller gets the start
Speaker 4: activated today, Dodgers sending Justin Robleski down and Bobby Miller
Speaker 4: is up one and two. At the major league level,
Speaker 4: the era is trouble sum at eight o seven. However,
Speaker 4: the most successful Bobby had this year. Was his first
Speaker 4: start of the year happened to be against the Cardinals
Speaker 4: on the twenty ninth of March at Dodgers Stadium, when
Speaker 4: he punched out eleven over six innings of work and
Speaker 4: got his only win.
Speaker 6: Frustrating start of this season for Bobby Miller with the
Speaker 6: injuries that he had big dropoff from last year where
Speaker 6: he was eleven and four in the twenty two starts
Speaker 6: that he made well this year, the lefties have hit
Speaker 6: three to eight against him. Right handers have hit three
Speaker 6: to oho two. So we're going to find out about
Speaker 6: Bobby Miller. We heard there was a dropoff in velocity
Speaker 6: in his rehab starts. He needs consistency in that strength zone.
Speaker 6: And for Bobby Miller, he understands full well. He has
Speaker 6: a tired bullpen behind him. In a day game tomorrow
Speaker 6: and getaway day before they go back to Los Angeles.
Speaker 4: For Polante from San Clementy High School, and you see, Irvine,
Speaker 4: there's a guy that might get ambushed a little bit.
Speaker 4: When you look at his numbers. The opposition hitters are
Speaker 4: batting four fifty five against him on the first pitch
Speaker 4: and two of the five home runs he's allowed have
Speaker 4: also come on.
Speaker 3: The first pitch.
Speaker 6: And here's the reason why. Over the last two years
Speaker 6: when he's been at the big league level, first pitch
Speaker 6: fast bows seventy one percent of the time. But here's
Speaker 6: the deal too, he gets two strikes on hitters the
Speaker 6: last two years is below a two hundred batting average
Speaker 6: against Cardinals.
Speaker 4: Struggling a bit, Dodgers need to take advantage. The Cars
Speaker 4: are four and ten so far in August. They've lost
Speaker 4: five in a row. And how the Dodgers have won
Speaker 4: four of five against Saint Louis this season. Coming into
Speaker 4: this ballgame, Dodgers seventy two and fifty one, three games
Speaker 4: up in the West and the Cardinals ten games back
Speaker 4: in the Central at sixty and sixty two. Polante against
Speaker 4: Bobby Miller here at Bush Stadium.
Speaker 2: Tim, all right, thank you very much, coming up first
Speaker 2: pitch from Bush Stadium in Saint Louis, Dodgers and Cardinals.
Speaker 2: Dodgers already know they need to keep winning to maintain
Speaker 2: this three game lead in the Division over Arizona and
Speaker 2: San Diego. First pitches next, I'm sim Kates has been
Speaker 2: Moronggo Casino Dodgers on deck of the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Speaker 5: Do you know
