This 66 00:03:09.039 --> 00:03:11.240 third RBI of the game. Dodgers up eight to six. 67 00:03:11.360 --> 00:03:14.199 That run was huge because in the seventh Kyle Farmer 68 00:03:14.240 --> 00:03:16.400 and RBI ground i made it an eight to seven game. 69 00:03:16.479 --> 00:03:18.280 The Rockies would strand the tye run at third and 70 00:03:18.319 --> 00:03:20.319 the seventh, and then in the ninth the Rockies at 71 00:03:20.319 --> 00:03:22.639 the time run on Tanner Scott, though with the strikeout 72 00:03:22.680 --> 00:03:25.360 to end the threat in the game.

But that really exciting news with that, 193 00:09:02.639 --> 00:09:05.759 it's because he and his wife Aniko, they are welcoming 194 00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:09.759 their first child together. So Steve Roberts said he didn't 195 00:09:09.759 --> 00:09:12.320 know exactly when the new date is or kind of 196 00:09:12.360 --> 00:09:16.799 what exactly situation at the moment, but actually, so hey, 197 00:09:16.840 --> 00:09:18.840 he did not come on the road, typically did not 198 00:09:18.879 --> 00:09:21.840 fight a Texan see back in LA because he's too 199 00:09:22.080 --> 00:09:25.480 anytime here soon. So very exciting news that they lost 200 00:09:25.519 --> 00:09:27.480 on my first pile is going to be I mean, 201 00:09:27.639 --> 00:09:28.720 what more did you ask for? 202 00:09:30.000 --> 00:09:33.759 No doubt about it. Congratulations to him and his wife. 203 00:09:34.159 --> 00:09:36.279 The other end roster moved for the Dodgers. Add in 204 00:09:36.320 --> 00:09:37.279 a little pitching depth. 205 00:09:38.519 --> 00:09:40.919 Yeah, so I guess first I could start with with 206 00:09:41.080 --> 00:09:44.240 showhy going on fraternity list. That means that Eddie Rozario 207 00:09:44.480 --> 00:09:47.360 is here for that move. But on the pitching side, yes, 208 00:09:47.480 --> 00:09:50.960 Noah David, he has actually acquired in late March on 209 00:09:51.120 --> 00:09:54.360 the Red Sox, so we've been with OKAC. He has 210 00:09:54.399 --> 00:09:57.759 been activated today and that's what Bobby Miller, who these 211 00:09:57.840 --> 00:10:01.440 options after that game back in Locking so four. Noah 212 00:10:01.519 --> 00:10:03.600 Davis telling SPP is a Southern California. 213 00:10:03.679 --> 00:10:03.919 Kiss. 214 00:10:03.960 --> 00:10:07.000 He's very tited to be wearing Dodger blue. He is 215 00:10:07.080 --> 00:10:09.200 someone can get some links out of the bullpen, so 216 00:10:09.440 --> 00:10:11.759 that's probably the biggest thing, so if they need that. 217 00:10:11.919 --> 00:10:14.960 But Yo Chobo, especially today on the Mountains, he's been 218 00:10:14.960 --> 00:10:17.399 going deep in all of this game thus far. Picking 219 00:10:17.440 --> 00:10:20.080 it looks like six innings, so hopefully you can keep 220 00:10:20.080 --> 00:10:22.759 that going. But he has been excellent and he's got 221 00:10:22.840 --> 00:10:24.720 to fight the pitching matchup, that's for sure today. 222 00:10:24.840 --> 00:10:27.240 Yeah, this is a tremendous pitching matchup with Jacob de 223 00:10:27.279 --> 00:10:30.919 Grom and Yoshinobu Yamamono Kirston.

Blake Snell on the il Tony Gonsolins and 248 00:11:42.639 --> 00:11:45.720 Triple A Oklahoma City as is Evan Phillips Clayton Kershaw 249 00:11:45.799 --> 00:11:49.080 last week, three shutout innings in a minor league rehab assignment. 250 00:11:49.080 --> 00:11:51.000 All right, let's head back out to Arlington and check 251 00:11:51.000 --> 00:11:53.240 out with the Dodgers skipper anything Dave? 252 00:11:53.279 --> 00:11:54.960 Do you questions for Dave? 253 00:11:55.080 --> 00:11:57.159 Dave?

He and 257 00:12:08.519 --> 00:12:13.120 Mamico are expecting at some point, and so that's all 258 00:12:13.159 --> 00:12:13.440 I know. 259 00:12:14.159 --> 00:12:15.879 I don't know when he's going to come back. 260 00:12:16.519 --> 00:12:18.399 I don't know when they're going to have the baby, 261 00:12:18.480 --> 00:12:22.799 but obviously they're together in anticipation. 262 00:12:22.840 --> 00:12:25.320 With that first, that's very exciting news. But with that, 263 00:12:25.399 --> 00:12:27.399 you do have Eddie Rosario here, so I'm assuming that's 264 00:12:27.399 --> 00:12:29.720 going to be the move. So with this, you're just 265 00:12:29.759 --> 00:12:31.240 suspecting he could be with the team. 266 00:12:31.080 --> 00:12:31.679 For a while. 267 00:12:32.399 --> 00:12:34.000 Yeah, And I don't know exactly. 268 00:12:34.039 --> 00:12:37.559 I probably should know how many days paternity is, but 269 00:12:38.440 --> 00:12:41.120 that was a corresponding mood to have Eddie here, and 270 00:12:42.200 --> 00:12:45.399 he's obviously in the lineup today, and you know, I'll 271 00:12:45.399 --> 00:12:46.279 see about tomorrow. 272 00:12:46.679 --> 00:12:49.559 Why the other night with you guys here and then 273 00:12:49.600 --> 00:12:50.080 went back? 274 00:12:50.240 --> 00:12:54.159 Or is there any chance that he comes this weekend, 275 00:12:54.240 --> 00:12:55.480 comes back to late this weekend. 276 00:12:55.840 --> 00:13:00.279 There's a chance there, Yes, there's chance. 277 00:13:00.320 --> 00:13:02.919 I don't know if it's I don't know what day, 278 00:13:03.000 --> 00:13:04.759 but there's certainly a chance, yes. 279 00:13:06.440 --> 00:13:11.399 For him, not at this time, maybe later. 280 00:13:11.519 --> 00:13:14.480 Yeah, did you read just the excitement on him? I 281 00:13:14.480 --> 00:13:16.120 mean obvious this is something very special for him to 282 00:13:16.159 --> 00:13:18.159 be welcoming their first child into the family. 283 00:13:18.519 --> 00:13:22.159 You know what, I really I heard about it, and 284 00:13:22.240 --> 00:13:25.919 I didn't really talk to him about it. So, you know, 285 00:13:26.200 --> 00:13:29.720 Lord willing they have a healthy birth and have a 286 00:13:29.720 --> 00:13:31.480 healthy baby, and then we'll talk more about it. 287 00:13:31.480 --> 00:13:32.879 But I didn't really get into it before. 288 00:13:33.679 --> 00:13:35.399 That was like apartmentalizer he is. 289 00:13:35.399 --> 00:13:37.320 That's what that's gonna have to come in handy now 290 00:13:37.320 --> 00:13:38.519 that you guys got to kidd home. 291 00:13:39.519 --> 00:13:43.399 Yeah, it is.

Just great 313 00:14:42.759 --> 00:14:45.480 being back here. Yes, absolutely a lot of good memories. 314 00:14:45.879 --> 00:14:48.480 All Right, there's Dave Roberts down to the dugout with 315 00:14:48.480 --> 00:14:51.440 his pregame thoughts.

I'm Tim Kasey's World champion 320 00:15:03.759 --> 00:15:05.440 Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network. 321 00:15:07.720 --> 00:15:13.559 This is MA Wrongo Casino Dodgers on tack on your 322 00:15:13.600 --> 00:15:15.840 home for the blue whole season. 323 00:15:15.519 --> 00:15:20.799 Long Dodgers Rangers, Yoshi Amamono and Jacob de Gram the 324 00:15:20.799 --> 00:15:24.120 pitching matchup. First pitch from Globelive Field in Arlington, coming 325 00:15:24.159 --> 00:15:24.960 up in five oh five. 326 00:15:26.440 --> 00:15:29.960 Joining Tim kits on Dodgers, I'm Tack. I accept everybody 327 00:15:30.000 --> 00:15:34.000 for who they are. This is Dodger insider David Basse. 328 00:15:34.360 --> 00:15:37.399 All right, DV, we heard from Dave Roberts, No show 329 00:15:37.480 --> 00:15:39.919 how Otani. What's the feeling you get as far as 330 00:15:40.039 --> 00:15:42.600 when he may rejoin this Dodgers team. 331 00:15:43.120 --> 00:15:45.799 Well, you just heard Dave Roberts. It sounds like there 332 00:15:45.919 --> 00:15:50.200 is an outside chance that Otani could return before the 333 00:15:50.320 --> 00:15:53.399 end of this series. You know, Otani's done really well 334 00:15:53.399 --> 00:15:56.799 in this ballpark, so obviously he and his wife are 335 00:15:56.799 --> 00:15:59.320 really excited to welcome him in their first child. But 336 00:16:00.039 --> 00:16:03.799 TONI loves baseball, and if everything goes well and smooth, 337 00:16:04.039 --> 00:16:06.840 I could see him. By the way Dave was talking 338 00:16:07.600 --> 00:16:10.320 returning to the team before the end of this series. 339 00:16:10.399 --> 00:16:13.720 And you know, interesting enough, Dave Roberts mentioned that Otani 340 00:16:13.840 --> 00:16:16.919 did not fly with the Dodgers to Texas. He must 341 00:16:16.960 --> 00:16:20.679 have known that this was imminent, and you know, obviously 342 00:16:20.879 --> 00:16:24.440 it's an exciting time for Otani, but certainly his life 343 00:16:24.480 --> 00:16:25.360 is about to change. 344 00:16:25.360 --> 00:16:26.200 For the better, no. 345 00:16:26.200 --> 00:16:26.679 Doubt about it. 346 00:16:26.759 --> 00:16:28.519 Damn is driven by Ford. There's one thing we like, 347 00:16:28.559 --> 00:16:29.200 its choices. 348 00:16:29.440 --> 00:16:31.240 Find yours with the fort f one to fifty gas 349 00:16:31.279 --> 00:16:34.159 hybrid all electric tough, this march can only be called 350 00:16:34.240 --> 00:16:37.240 f one fifty Dodgers taking on the Rangers, who have 351 00:16:37.279 --> 00:16:40.360 a couple of former Dodgers on their roster right now. 352 00:16:40.440 --> 00:16:46.000 Dv yeah World Series MVP, two time World Series champion 353 00:16:46.480 --> 00:16:50.279 Corey Seeger, who made Globe Live Field his home for 354 00:16:51.039 --> 00:16:53.759 a long time before he was a Ranger during that 355 00:16:53.960 --> 00:16:57.240 playoff run to help the Dodgers win the twenty World Series, 356 00:16:57.279 --> 00:17:01.200 and my understanding talking to Skip Schumacher, who is now 357 00:17:01.240 --> 00:17:04.559 an advisor with the Rangers front office, he said, the 358 00:17:04.599 --> 00:17:08.400 Dodgers are catching a red hot Corey Seger, and the 359 00:17:08.440 --> 00:17:11.960 buzz around baseball tim is if you look at even 360 00:17:12.039 --> 00:17:17.720 Baseball Savant, these advanced defensive metrics rank Corey Sieger the 361 00:17:17.880 --> 00:17:21.079 best defensive shortstop in all of Major League Baseball, and 362 00:17:21.160 --> 00:17:24.759 Schumacher told me the biggest reason why is because Seger 363 00:17:24.799 --> 00:17:28.240 has become one of the best at getting a great 364 00:17:28.319 --> 00:17:31.680 jump with his first step when he sees the ball hit, 365 00:17:31.839 --> 00:17:33.839 and that's why he's able to be in position to 366 00:17:33.839 --> 00:17:37.319 make great plays now. Jock Peterson in the first year 367 00:17:37.359 --> 00:17:40.759 of a two year contract with the Rangers, the polar opposite. 368 00:17:40.799 --> 00:17:43.319 He's off to a slow start here in Texas, just 369 00:17:43.440 --> 00:17:48.079 three for his first fifty with the Rangers.
