<v Speaker 2>set between the two top teams of the National League,

8
00:00:25.719 --> 00:00:28.440
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers and Phillies. The Dodgers go for the series

9
00:00:28.519 --> 00:00:31.679
<v Speaker 2>win tonight with Gavin Stone on the mound. First pitch

10
00:00:31.679 --> 00:00:34.159
<v Speaker 2>from Dodger Stadium is coming up at seven to ten

11
00:00:34.240 --> 00:00:37.840
<v Speaker 2>on Sandy Kofax's Bobblehead Night out at the Ravine for

12
00:00:37.960 --> 00:00:40.719
<v Speaker 2>the first forty thousand through the turnstiles. Coming up here

13
00:00:40.880 --> 00:00:43.000
<v Speaker 2>on Dodgers on Deck, We'll got a lot to get to.

14
00:00:43.079 --> 00:00:45.840
<v Speaker 2>We're gonna hear from the manager himself, Dave Roberts, which

15
00:00:45.840 --> 00:00:48.920
<v Speaker 2>to get you the latest injury report from this Dodgers

16
00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:50.960
<v Speaker 2>team has more moves that have been made today. With

17
00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:54.359
<v Speaker 2>guys going on the il, we'll get your Dodgers magical moment.

18
00:00:54.359 --> 00:00:56.079
<v Speaker 3>We'll dive deep into this pitching matchup.

19
00:00:56.280 --> 00:00:59.920
<v Speaker 2>David vasegoes one on one with Dodger historian Mark Langel.

20
00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:02.359
<v Speaker 2>That is coming up in forty five minutes. Shortly, we'll

21
00:01:02.399 --> 00:01:04.719
<v Speaker 2>hear from Kirsten Watson. In just a few minutes, we'll

22
00:01:04.760 --> 00:01:07.040
<v Speaker 2>send it out to the Gallpina Motors broadcast booth, and

23
00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:09.959
<v Speaker 2>here from Stephen Nelson and Rick Monday. Well, last night

24
00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:12.879
<v Speaker 2>at the Ravine, Kershaw with his best outing of this season,

25
00:01:12.920 --> 00:01:15.680
<v Speaker 2>but the game got away from the Dodgers. Lake Clayton.

26
00:01:15.719 --> 00:01:18.200
<v Speaker 2>Kershaw got the start, the future Hall of Famer, making

27
00:01:18.239 --> 00:01:21.319
<v Speaker 2>his third start since coming back from offseason shoulder surgery.

28
00:01:21.560 --> 00:01:24.640
<v Speaker 2>Four and two third innings, one run, five hits, five strikeouts.

29
00:01:24.879 --> 00:01:27.400
<v Speaker 2>The Dodgers' offense well, they struggled to give him some

30
00:01:27.480 --> 00:01:31.079
<v Speaker 2>run support. Freddie Freeman, though, did set a career milestone

31
00:01:31.079 --> 00:01:32.439
<v Speaker 2>in the first last.

32
00:01:32.280 --> 00:01:35.480
<v Speaker 4>Night, his emotional return to the lineup after being on

33
00:01:35.519 --> 00:01:39.000
<v Speaker 4>the family emergency list. His three year old son Maximus,

34
00:01:39.159 --> 00:01:42.400
<v Speaker 4>with Kean Burrey syndrome, was in the ICU and Freddie

35
00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:44.840
<v Speaker 4>blists the ball into the right center field gap.

36
00:01:45.280 --> 00:01:46.879
<v Speaker 5>It's gonna get all the way to the wall.

37
00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:50.239
<v Speaker 4>Freddie makes his turnaround and he is standing up at

38
00:01:50.400 --> 00:01:53.000
<v Speaker 4>second with his five hundredth career double.

39
00:01:54.159 --> 00:01:59.120
<v Speaker 2>He's back Freddie Freeman five hundredth career double, just the

40
00:01:59.239 --> 00:02:01.920
<v Speaker 2>sixty fifth player in baseball history to do that, the

41
00:02:01.959 --> 00:02:04.640
<v Speaker 2>tenth youngest player when he hit his five hundredth double

42
00:02:04.760 --> 00:02:06.079
<v Speaker 2>and that is the top tier play of the game

43
00:02:06.120 --> 00:02:09.199
<v Speaker 2>sponsored by Arco Quality Top Tier Gas for Less. The

44
00:02:09.280 --> 00:02:11.319
<v Speaker 2>game remained scoreless through three and the fourth of the

45
00:02:11.319 --> 00:02:13.479
<v Speaker 2>Phillies with runners on first and third with one out

46
00:02:13.680 --> 00:02:15.719
<v Speaker 2>Curs although able to get out of that jam with

47
00:02:15.759 --> 00:02:18.439
<v Speaker 2>the strikeout and the ground out, it remained scoreless going

48
00:02:18.439 --> 00:02:20.000
<v Speaker 2>to the fifth. In the top half of the inning,

49
00:02:20.240 --> 00:02:23.319
<v Speaker 2>Kyle Schwarber and RBI single with two outs. They gave

50
00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:25.919
<v Speaker 2>the Phillies a one to nothing lead. Clayton Kershaw would

51
00:02:25.960 --> 00:02:27.840
<v Speaker 2>leave after four and two thirds. Joe Kelly got the

52
00:02:27.879 --> 00:02:30.360
<v Speaker 2>final out of the fifth. Bruce dark Graderol started the

53
00:02:30.439 --> 00:02:33.199
<v Speaker 2>sixth but had to leave after eight pitches with a

54
00:02:33.319 --> 00:02:34.479
<v Speaker 2>hamstring injury.

55
00:02:34.479 --> 00:02:36.280
<v Speaker 3>Brent Honeywell came in and well.

56
00:02:36.560 --> 00:02:38.479
<v Speaker 2>Then he gave up the Dodgers lead even more, but

57
00:02:38.639 --> 00:02:40.599
<v Speaker 2>he got hitting around his Phillies with three runs at

58
00:02:40.599 --> 00:02:42.439
<v Speaker 2>the top of the sixth, took a four to nothing lead.

59
00:02:42.759 --> 00:02:44.879
<v Speaker 2>Will Smith and RBI ground out in the bottom of

60
00:02:44.919 --> 00:02:46.400
<v Speaker 2>the six got the Dodgers on the board.

61
00:02:46.439 --> 00:02:47.680
<v Speaker 3>Finally, they were down four.

62
00:02:47.479 --> 00:02:50.159
<v Speaker 2>To one in the eighth. Tay Oscar Hernandez got him

63
00:02:50.159 --> 00:02:51.319
<v Speaker 2>a little closer.

64
00:02:51.080 --> 00:02:53.479
<v Speaker 4>At first and second, nobody on the seventh, but couldn't

65
00:02:53.479 --> 00:02:55.599
<v Speaker 4>get anybody home. So now in the eighth we watch

66
00:02:55.680 --> 00:03:01.719
<v Speaker 4>Hernandez I drive center field, crushed at the wall as

67
00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:09.759
<v Speaker 4>Marsky will watch it go, and Tao so once again

68
00:03:09.800 --> 00:03:14.159
<v Speaker 4>at Dodgers Stadium, a leadoff solo home run of the eighth,

69
00:03:14.360 --> 00:03:17.159
<v Speaker 4>twenty fifth of the year for ti Oscar Hernandez, who's

70
00:03:17.199 --> 00:03:21.080
<v Speaker 4>gone deepened. Back to that game, the Dodgers are within two.

71
00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:25.240
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers down four to two. Unfortunately they get no closer.

72
00:03:25.240 --> 00:03:27.000
<v Speaker 2>In fact, the Phillies would tack on two more in

73
00:03:27.039 --> 00:03:29.039
<v Speaker 2>the top half of the ninth on back to back

74
00:03:29.039 --> 00:03:31.719
<v Speaker 2>home runs from Sosa and Shorter. Philly's gone and beat

75
00:03:31.719 --> 00:03:34.400
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers last night, six to two. Christopher Sanchez gets

76
00:03:34.439 --> 00:03:36.479
<v Speaker 2>the win, Clayton Kershaw gets the loss.

77
00:03:36.479 --> 00:03:38.199
<v Speaker 3>Dodgers fall to sixty six.

78
00:03:38.039 --> 00:03:40.240
<v Speaker 2>And forty eight on the season, their lead in the

79
00:03:40.280 --> 00:03:43.759
<v Speaker 2>division now four games over the Padres Cavin Stone. He

80
00:03:43.840 --> 00:03:47.400
<v Speaker 2>gets the ball tonight in the series finale, first pitch,

81
00:03:47.439 --> 00:03:49.879
<v Speaker 2>coming up at seven to ten and with moret Leant's

82
00:03:49.879 --> 00:03:52.560
<v Speaker 2>head out to the Kalpin Motors broadcast boot the Dodgers

83
00:03:52.560 --> 00:03:55.080
<v Speaker 2>Stadium on this warm Wednesday night and say hello to

84
00:03:55.159 --> 00:03:58.879
<v Speaker 2>Stephen Nelson Rick Monday, guys.

85
00:03:57.800 --> 00:04:01.120
<v Speaker 4>Thanks Tim. The series finale coming up quick here at

86
00:04:01.199 --> 00:04:03.879
<v Speaker 4>Dodgers Stadium. The series is on the line for the

87
00:04:03.879 --> 00:04:06.680
<v Speaker 4>top two teams in the National League. The Dodgers, after

88
00:04:06.719 --> 00:04:09.199
<v Speaker 4>losing last night in Game two, dropped to one and

89
00:04:09.199 --> 00:04:11.080
<v Speaker 4>a half back of the Phillies for the number one

90
00:04:11.080 --> 00:04:14.439
<v Speaker 4>seed in the NL. But Rick Monday, instead of looking ahead,

91
00:04:15.080 --> 00:04:17.279
<v Speaker 4>the object in the mirror, the rearview mirror is getting

92
00:04:17.319 --> 00:04:20.040
<v Speaker 4>even closer because the Diamondbacks won twice today on the

93
00:04:20.120 --> 00:04:22.519
<v Speaker 4>road in Cleveland. They sweep the Guardians and are now

94
00:04:22.639 --> 00:04:24.720
<v Speaker 4>three and a half back of the division.

95
00:04:24.759 --> 00:04:25.279
<v Speaker 2>In the West.

96
00:04:25.399 --> 00:04:27.720
<v Speaker 6>Well, if you look at the the side mirrors, there's

97
00:04:27.759 --> 00:04:31.920
<v Speaker 6>that little disclaimer says objects appear to be closer than

98
00:04:31.959 --> 00:04:36.040
<v Speaker 6>they actually are. Well, guess what. The Diamondbacks, in winning

99
00:04:36.480 --> 00:04:40.000
<v Speaker 6>the doubleheader today, are road close. They're three and a

100
00:04:40.040 --> 00:04:43.399
<v Speaker 6>half behind the Dodgers. Dodgers did not win tonight. That's

101
00:04:43.399 --> 00:04:46.319
<v Speaker 6>a three game separation, So yeah, the Dodgers have to

102
00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:48.680
<v Speaker 6>take care of business. They looked like they had you know,

103
00:04:48.720 --> 00:04:50.600
<v Speaker 6>had me won three in a row last night. Never

104
00:04:50.759 --> 00:04:53.680
<v Speaker 6>really got on track from an offensive standpoint. They left

105
00:04:53.680 --> 00:04:55.480
<v Speaker 6>some runners on base. They were zero for eight with

106
00:04:55.600 --> 00:04:58.399
<v Speaker 6>runners in scoring position in that ballgame. There was some

107
00:04:58.480 --> 00:05:00.560
<v Speaker 6>good news and there was some bad news. The good news,

108
00:05:00.639 --> 00:05:03.199
<v Speaker 6>I thought was Clayton Kershaw coming on. He wanted to

109
00:05:03.199 --> 00:05:06.399
<v Speaker 6>complete the five innings. He went four and two thirds

110
00:05:06.959 --> 00:05:09.480
<v Speaker 6>thought the breaking ball in particular, not only the curveball

111
00:05:09.519 --> 00:05:13.600
<v Speaker 6>but also the slider was Clayton Kershaw type pitches and

112
00:05:14.000 --> 00:05:16.639
<v Speaker 6>that's a strong, strong indication. We retired the first six

113
00:05:16.680 --> 00:05:19.480
<v Speaker 6>batters in the ballgame before a broken back base hit

114
00:05:19.759 --> 00:05:22.519
<v Speaker 6>to lead things up in the fourth. The sad news

115
00:05:22.680 --> 00:05:25.480
<v Speaker 6>was for Bruce dark Grattarol. He work so hard for

116
00:05:25.519 --> 00:05:27.959
<v Speaker 6>such a long period of time, his second outing off

117
00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:32.360
<v Speaker 6>the injured list. Unfortunately, eight pitches into his outing, what

118
00:05:32.439 --> 00:05:35.600
<v Speaker 6>appeared to be a devastating handstring injury, and all the

119
00:05:35.639 --> 00:05:39.600
<v Speaker 6>emotion just flows out because these guys are human. You know,

120
00:05:39.680 --> 00:05:42.360
<v Speaker 6>you get injured and you fight for so long and

121
00:05:42.480 --> 00:05:45.319
<v Speaker 6>so hard to come back, and all of a sudden boom,

122
00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:47.399
<v Speaker 6>with one pitch, it looks like you're not going to

123
00:05:47.439 --> 00:05:48.600
<v Speaker 6>be able to pitch again for a while.

124
00:05:48.759 --> 00:05:53.720
<v Speaker 4>A Grade three hamstring tear for Bruce Darr graderol and emotion.

125
00:05:53.920 --> 00:05:56.240
<v Speaker 4>I mean, that's someone who had he has so much

126
00:05:56.360 --> 00:05:58.879
<v Speaker 4>joy for this game, and he plays with so much emotion.

127
00:05:59.199 --> 00:06:03.240
<v Speaker 4>He invoked so much emotion from the people who watch him,

128
00:06:03.279 --> 00:06:06.319
<v Speaker 4>and so to lose him like that in his debut

129
00:06:06.800 --> 00:06:09.199
<v Speaker 4>is really a gut punch. So now the Dodgers turn

130
00:06:09.279 --> 00:06:12.279
<v Speaker 4>the page today. That's what you baseball players say, We'll

131
00:06:12.279 --> 00:06:14.519
<v Speaker 4>forget about yesterday. Who cares anymore. It's about the game

132
00:06:14.519 --> 00:06:16.600
<v Speaker 4>in front of you. And they still still have a

133
00:06:16.680 --> 00:06:18.800
<v Speaker 4>chance to win the series today. So what has to

134
00:06:18.879 --> 00:06:20.000
<v Speaker 4>happen for them to do that.

135
00:06:20.519 --> 00:06:23.680
<v Speaker 6>How much adjustment do the Dodgers make from an offensive standpoint,

136
00:06:24.000 --> 00:06:26.240
<v Speaker 6>And I'm talking about putting the ball into play, hitting

137
00:06:26.240 --> 00:06:30.160
<v Speaker 6>behind runners possibly. Also, here's the deal for you, if

138
00:06:30.199 --> 00:06:32.160
<v Speaker 6>you're not hitting particularly well, what about the bunts? What

139
00:06:32.279 --> 00:06:34.319
<v Speaker 6>if you've been a guy over get him into scoring position.

140
00:06:34.680 --> 00:06:36.639
<v Speaker 6>I thought there were some pieces in last night's ball

141
00:06:36.680 --> 00:06:40.079
<v Speaker 6>game that were very, very good, including the Taskar Hernandez

142
00:06:40.680 --> 00:06:43.839
<v Speaker 6>gun on base three different times, had a double, also

143
00:06:43.920 --> 00:06:46.199
<v Speaker 6>the home run that he was able to hit, and

144
00:06:46.279 --> 00:06:48.959
<v Speaker 6>Freddy Freeman came back and for Freddy Freeman his five

145
00:06:49.079 --> 00:06:52.879
<v Speaker 6>hundredth double. He's only one of sixty five players in

146
00:06:52.920 --> 00:06:57.000
<v Speaker 6>baseball history they have five hundred doubles. And you look

147
00:06:57.040 --> 00:06:59.319
<v Speaker 6>at the emotion that he has gone and gone through

148
00:06:59.360 --> 00:07:02.319
<v Speaker 6>recently low with his family. Things are looking up in

149
00:07:02.360 --> 00:07:04.360
<v Speaker 6>that aspect of it. It's good to get Freddy Freeman

150
00:07:04.399 --> 00:07:05.079
<v Speaker 6>back in the lineup.

151
00:07:05.639 --> 00:07:07.680
<v Speaker 4>Well, now the Dodgers try and get some hits. Those

152
00:07:07.680 --> 00:07:09.879
<v Speaker 4>were tough to come by last night, especially with men

153
00:07:09.959 --> 00:07:12.639
<v Speaker 4>on base tim they were oh for fourteen. The Dodgers

154
00:07:12.639 --> 00:07:14.519
<v Speaker 4>with men on zero for eight with runners in the

155
00:07:14.560 --> 00:07:17.040
<v Speaker 4>scoring position, the lineup will have a different look. Will

156
00:07:17.079 --> 00:07:21.199
<v Speaker 4>Smith not starting, Austin Barnes, Will Miguel Rojas drawing back

157
00:07:21.240 --> 00:07:24.839
<v Speaker 4>in activated off the ange list, James Outman option to

158
00:07:24.879 --> 00:07:28.120
<v Speaker 4>triple A. We'll get into Rojas in his first game,

159
00:07:28.360 --> 00:07:31.000
<v Speaker 4>and Gavin Stone and his start trying to get back

160
00:07:31.040 --> 00:07:32.560

185
00:08:46.679 --> 00:08:49.799
<v Speaker 2>night Dodgers with the lost six to two. Shoho Tani

186
00:08:49.840 --> 00:08:51.519
<v Speaker 2>is still hitting over three hundreds, still part of the

187

193
00:09:11.799 --> 00:09:15.679
<v Speaker 1>This is Kirston's Corner with Kirston Watson.

194
00:09:16.360 --> 00:09:19.200
<v Speaker 2>Hey Kirson now joins us. Before this series finale, Dodgers

195
00:09:19.200 --> 00:09:21.600
<v Speaker 2>and Phillies, top teams in the National League, squaring off

196
00:09:21.639 --> 00:09:24.600
<v Speaker 2>for a one final time. But off the field, Keirston

197
00:09:24.679 --> 00:09:27.440
<v Speaker 2>Mookie bets he's gonna be coming back on this next

198
00:09:27.519 --> 00:09:30.480
<v Speaker 2>road trip, and his role when he comes back starting

199
00:09:30.480 --> 00:09:31.519
<v Speaker 2>to look a little more clear.

200
00:09:31.879 --> 00:09:34.879
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, so he he's going to be returning as the shortstop.

201
00:09:34.919 --> 00:09:36.559
<v Speaker 2>He'sne batting second, and we.

202
00:09:36.559 --> 00:09:39.519
<v Speaker 7>Have seen him out here every single day since his

203
00:09:39.600 --> 00:09:42.320
<v Speaker 7>hand was strong enough to be honest, like, he's just

204
00:09:42.360 --> 00:09:44.759
<v Speaker 7>been taking down the reps, getting more and more comfortable

205
00:09:44.759 --> 00:09:47.879
<v Speaker 7>playing at shortstop, so he feels good about the return.

206
00:09:47.960 --> 00:09:50.200
<v Speaker 7>He was very option or just very transparent in the

207
00:09:50.240 --> 00:09:53.200
<v Speaker 7>sense of he will do whatever the team needs him

208
00:09:53.240 --> 00:09:55.240
<v Speaker 7>to do. But Dave Roberts, when he was talking about

209
00:09:55.279 --> 00:09:57.200
<v Speaker 7>just the return, he was saying, you know, yes, there

210
00:09:57.200 --> 00:09:59.320
<v Speaker 7>are a lot of questions, would it make more sense

211
00:09:59.360 --> 00:10:01.360
<v Speaker 7>for him to retur turn as the right fielder, just

212
00:10:01.440 --> 00:10:05.000
<v Speaker 7>considering how Miguel Rojas's performance has been defensively as well

213
00:10:05.039 --> 00:10:08.200
<v Speaker 7>as offensively this year, what Gavin Lux looks like at

214
00:10:08.240 --> 00:10:12.159
<v Speaker 7>second with the acquisitions all of those players and mostly

215
00:10:12.279 --> 00:10:15.200
<v Speaker 7>utility guys, but with all of those moves, the question

216
00:10:15.240 --> 00:10:17.080
<v Speaker 7>has been like, doesn't make more sense for Mukie to

217
00:10:17.159 --> 00:10:19.039
<v Speaker 7>go to right field. But Dave was saying, it's been

218
00:10:19.080 --> 00:10:21.840
<v Speaker 7>so long since he's played in right field that and

219
00:10:21.840 --> 00:10:23.840
<v Speaker 7>he's been putting in the work at shortstop, so he

220
00:10:23.879 --> 00:10:26.279
<v Speaker 7>feels really good about that. And then he's gonna be

221
00:10:26.320 --> 00:10:29.480
<v Speaker 7>batting second, so showhe Tani will bad lead bat lead off,

222
00:10:29.519 --> 00:10:31.600
<v Speaker 7>and then it'll be Moogie Betts and then Freddie Freeman.

223
00:10:32.200 --> 00:10:34.399
<v Speaker 7>And Mookie was saying, again, as much as he's willing

224
00:10:34.399 --> 00:10:36.799
<v Speaker 7>to do whatever the team wants of him, it is

225
00:10:36.799 --> 00:10:39.120
<v Speaker 7>a little bit different when you are batting second compared

226
00:10:39.120 --> 00:10:41.360
<v Speaker 7>to leadoff. So that'll just be something he just kind

227
00:10:41.360 --> 00:10:42.360
<v Speaker 7>of has to readjust to.

228
00:10:42.799 --> 00:10:44.720
<v Speaker 2>We talked about in the last couple of days, is

229
00:10:44.799 --> 00:10:46.840
<v Speaker 2>more and more guys come off the injured list, is

230
00:10:46.919 --> 00:10:49.559
<v Speaker 2>roster is gonna look different. But tomorrow is a big

231
00:10:49.639 --> 00:10:52.000
<v Speaker 2>day the stadium with a sim game, and we've got

232
00:10:52.000 --> 00:10:53.399
<v Speaker 2>some guys going out to the farm.

233
00:10:53.799 --> 00:10:57.120
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, so the same game tomorrow essentially is gonna include

234
00:10:57.639 --> 00:10:59.799
<v Speaker 7>all of the position players that are on the il

235
00:11:00.080 --> 00:11:03.320
<v Speaker 7>right now. So that's Chris Taylor, Max Munsey, Tommy Edmund.

236
00:11:03.360 --> 00:11:05.440
<v Speaker 7>I mean, there's just going to be so many guy

237
00:11:05.519 --> 00:11:07.480
<v Speaker 7>at Mookie Bets. There's going to be so many guys

238
00:11:07.519 --> 00:11:11.360
<v Speaker 7>who are either in their final steps. So for Mookie Bets,

239
00:11:11.519 --> 00:11:13.639
<v Speaker 7>he's going to have the live at bats tomorrow in

240
00:11:13.679 --> 00:11:15.200
<v Speaker 7>the same game, and then he's going to probably take

241
00:11:15.240 --> 00:11:17.279
<v Speaker 7>down some more live at bats over the weekend. Dave

242
00:11:17.360 --> 00:11:22.120
<v Speaker 7>Robert said before his return in Milwaukee. For Chris Taylor,

243
00:11:22.320 --> 00:11:24.519
<v Speaker 7>he's someone who's still he I spoke to in briefly today.

244
00:11:24.519 --> 00:11:26.399
<v Speaker 7>He said he feels really good, but still gonna need

245
00:11:26.399 --> 00:11:28.879
<v Speaker 7>a little bit more time. Max Munsey as well as

246
00:11:28.879 --> 00:11:31.960
<v Speaker 7>Tommy Edmund. They're both going to start their rehab assignments

247
00:11:32.000 --> 00:11:35.480
<v Speaker 7>over the weekend, So for Max Munsey and specific, he's

248
00:11:35.600 --> 00:11:38.639
<v Speaker 7>likely going to need about a week of rehab outings

249
00:11:38.960 --> 00:11:42.919
<v Speaker 7>before he returns back. Dave said that that oblique strain

250
00:11:42.919 --> 00:11:44.879
<v Speaker 7>and they feel really good about where it's at. He

251
00:11:44.960 --> 00:11:48.320
<v Speaker 7>got his back aligned by a chiropractor and that really

252
00:11:48.320 --> 00:11:50.960
<v Speaker 7>helped just where his rib was and so that was

253
00:11:51.039 --> 00:11:53.360
<v Speaker 7>actually been a really big turning point for him in

254
00:11:53.399 --> 00:11:56.639
<v Speaker 7>this recovery. So he should be back, let's say a

255
00:11:56.679 --> 00:11:59.519
<v Speaker 7>week week and a half after his eye Elston and

256
00:11:59.519 --> 00:12:02.240
<v Speaker 7>then Tommy Edmund he's also going to start over the

257
00:12:02.240 --> 00:12:06.320
<v Speaker 7>weekend with his rehab stint, and for that it's going

258
00:12:06.360 --> 00:12:08.919
<v Speaker 7>to be just getting more reps playing defense. He was

259
00:12:08.960 --> 00:12:11.519
<v Speaker 7>on his rehab assignment before being traded, so it's just

260
00:12:11.559 --> 00:12:14.519
<v Speaker 7>a matter about getting back out there. But the big

261
00:12:14.600 --> 00:12:16.559
<v Speaker 7>question is where does he play when he's healthy, And

262
00:12:16.600 --> 00:12:18.559
<v Speaker 7>that's something we're all going to figure out together because

263
00:12:18.600 --> 00:12:20.559
<v Speaker 7>it could be somewhere in the infield, it could be

264
00:12:22.399 --> 00:12:25.159
<v Speaker 7>potentially in center field. He's a utility guy, so there

265
00:12:25.159 --> 00:12:27.000
<v Speaker 7>are a lot of options. So they'll have to figure

266
00:12:27.039 --> 00:12:30.559
<v Speaker 7>that out and make a lot of toughest, tough decisions

267
00:12:30.600 --> 00:12:32.399
<v Speaker 7>for all of those guys to make their way back.

268
00:12:32.519 --> 00:12:34.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, a lot of tough decisions, but good decisions for

269
00:12:34.519 --> 00:12:37.600
<v Speaker 2>this Dodgers team. Kirsten, we appreciate it, Dodger fans and hance.

<v Speaker 5>With Dave Robberts?

302
00:14:11.759 --> 00:14:13.759
<v Speaker 7>Dave will start, well, first, let's start with actually with

303
00:14:13.759 --> 00:14:16.120
<v Speaker 7>Bruce dark grat Ole. How is he doing today? Did

304
00:14:16.120 --> 00:14:17.480
<v Speaker 7>you get a chance to talk to him.

305
00:14:17.919 --> 00:14:20.919
<v Speaker 9>I haven't seen Bruce right yet, but we've got good

306
00:14:20.960 --> 00:14:24.240
<v Speaker 9>news on the MRI front. It was a Grade one

307
00:14:24.440 --> 00:14:29.559
<v Speaker 9>hamstring and so that that's really good obviously we're going

308
00:14:29.639 --> 00:14:32.799
<v Speaker 9>to kind of go through the process of resting it,

309
00:14:32.960 --> 00:14:35.360
<v Speaker 9>rehaving it, and we're just going to go on him

310
00:14:35.600 --> 00:14:39.039
<v Speaker 9>and see how we can build him back up, but

311
00:14:39.759 --> 00:14:42.720
<v Speaker 9>still hopeful or hopeful that he'll return at some point

312
00:14:42.720 --> 00:14:43.360
<v Speaker 9>in time this year.

313
00:14:43.519 --> 00:14:46.320
<v Speaker 7>I know last night was incredibly emotional just watching him

314
00:14:46.360 --> 00:14:49.440
<v Speaker 7>come off the mound, the emotions he expressed. So do

315
00:14:49.480 --> 00:14:51.519
<v Speaker 7>you think this for him is just maybe a sense

316
00:14:51.519 --> 00:14:54.200
<v Speaker 7>of relief, a knowing that it's not as bad as

317
00:14:54.200 --> 00:14:55.440
<v Speaker 7>he thought it could have find I think so.

318
00:14:55.759 --> 00:14:56.200
<v Speaker 6>I think so.

319
00:14:57.279 --> 00:15:00.159
<v Speaker 9>I think early on, obviously, you know, you could see

320
00:15:00.200 --> 00:15:03.919
<v Speaker 9>with his emotion that he probably felt that was going

321
00:15:03.960 --> 00:15:08.080
<v Speaker 9>to be the season for him. But with what we've

322
00:15:08.120 --> 00:15:11.000
<v Speaker 9>gathered the information, I think there's a sense of relief

323
00:15:11.039 --> 00:15:12.759
<v Speaker 9>and some optimism there today.

324
00:15:12.759 --> 00:15:15.279
<v Speaker 7>With Gavin Stone, what have you been seeing from him

325
00:15:15.320 --> 00:15:17.080
<v Speaker 7>as of Lada. What do you think has got to

326
00:15:17.120 --> 00:15:19.600
<v Speaker 7>be just the key for him? He's been saying the

327
00:15:19.639 --> 00:15:22.159
<v Speaker 7>execution is what's been missing, so just to get that back.

328
00:15:22.840 --> 00:15:26.399
<v Speaker 9>I think it's twofold. I think the stuff has been

329
00:15:26.480 --> 00:15:30.039
<v Speaker 9>good and has been consistent. I think, you know, one

330
00:15:30.159 --> 00:15:33.399
<v Speaker 9>is the execution and the other part of it is

331
00:15:33.440 --> 00:15:37.080
<v Speaker 9>just sequencing and he's got four good pitches, and I

332
00:15:37.120 --> 00:15:40.879
<v Speaker 9>think that, you know, you look at the last four starts,

333
00:15:40.919 --> 00:15:44.840
<v Speaker 9>five starts, I think there's been consistent patterns, and I

334
00:15:44.919 --> 00:15:48.559
<v Speaker 9>just don't think he's used his entire arsenal as well

335
00:15:48.559 --> 00:15:51.759
<v Speaker 9>as he could. So you know, hopefully tonight, you know,

336
00:15:51.799 --> 00:15:53.759
<v Speaker 9>he'll kind of mix and match a little bit better.

337
00:15:54.039 --> 00:15:56.360
<v Speaker 8>There's been a lot of talk about Pinky coming back

338
00:15:56.440 --> 00:15:58.679
<v Speaker 8>once and coming back. How big is it to get

339
00:15:58.799 --> 00:15:59.840
<v Speaker 8>Ronas back tonight?

340
00:16:00.120 --> 00:16:03.399
<v Speaker 9>It's great, it's great, and you know that's kind of

341
00:16:03.399 --> 00:16:06.519
<v Speaker 9>one of the first pieces to get back. And I

342
00:16:06.559 --> 00:16:09.320
<v Speaker 9>know Miggy's excited to get back, so he'll be at

343
00:16:09.320 --> 00:16:12.440
<v Speaker 9>short and then you know, once we get Mooki back,

344
00:16:12.480 --> 00:16:15.720
<v Speaker 9>we'll have another conversation. But I know right now Maggie's

345
00:16:15.759 --> 00:16:17.279
<v Speaker 9>just excited to get back to be playing again.

346
00:16:17.879 --> 00:16:20.440
<v Speaker 6>What's the conversation need to be about.

347
00:16:22.159 --> 00:16:24.240
<v Speaker 9>Well, I think for me, I've already talked to Miggi

348
00:16:24.360 --> 00:16:28.440
<v Speaker 9>row that. You know, when Mooki does come back, he's

349
00:16:28.480 --> 00:16:31.559
<v Speaker 9>gonna play short, and then Miggy will bounce around whether

350
00:16:31.600 --> 00:16:34.600
<v Speaker 9>it's third second, and if there is a day that

351
00:16:34.679 --> 00:16:37.879
<v Speaker 9>Mooki takes off, then he'll play short. So I just

352
00:16:37.879 --> 00:16:40.799
<v Speaker 9>think that he's excited to be back, and you know,

353
00:16:40.879 --> 00:16:43.559
<v Speaker 9>reiterating to me that whatever it takes to help us win.

354
00:16:43.720 --> 00:16:47.279
<v Speaker 8>Where is that for hopefully of that decision, considering how

355
00:16:47.320 --> 00:16:50.799
<v Speaker 8>the personnel have changed in the two months since Mookie was.

356
00:16:50.799 --> 00:16:53.399
<v Speaker 9>Out there, I think I think there's a lot of

357
00:16:53.440 --> 00:16:57.679
<v Speaker 9>things that went into the decision, you know, one being

358
00:16:58.519 --> 00:17:03.399
<v Speaker 9>Gavin's play at second base, certainly with the bat. I

359
00:17:03.440 --> 00:17:10.319
<v Speaker 9>think that Miggy's play obviously with the bat. Defensively, I

360
00:17:10.319 --> 00:17:16.480
<v Speaker 9>think just continue to keep options open for something that

361
00:17:16.640 --> 00:17:17.640
<v Speaker 9>is unforeseeable.

362
00:17:17.960 --> 00:17:20.319
<v Speaker 2>All Right, there's Dave Roberts down the Dugout, addressing a

363

<v Speaker 5>This is Dodger insider David Bass.

390
00:18:40.960 --> 00:18:43.839
<v Speaker 2>All right, David, going back to last night, Clayton Kershaw

391
00:18:43.920 --> 00:18:45.039
<v Speaker 2>pitched into the fifth Inny.

392
00:18:45.119 --> 00:18:47.200
<v Speaker 3>How about the day after? What are the thoughts and

393
00:18:47.240 --> 00:18:48.759
<v Speaker 3>feelings about what he did last night.

394
00:18:49.240 --> 00:18:51.640
<v Speaker 8>Well, I saw him out here earlier today. His body

395
00:18:51.720 --> 00:18:55.359
<v Speaker 8>bounced back nicely. That's always a good thing, and you know,

396
00:18:55.440 --> 00:18:58.200
<v Speaker 8>I think everybody was encouraged by what they saw. Dave

397
00:18:58.279 --> 00:19:01.039
<v Speaker 8>Roberts even acknowledged that after the game, saying it was

398
00:19:01.079 --> 00:19:04.359
<v Speaker 8>the best Kershaw has pitched since coming back, and that

399
00:19:04.519 --> 00:19:07.440
<v Speaker 8>was his third start and looked tim People have to

400
00:19:07.440 --> 00:19:10.119
<v Speaker 8>give him some time to round into form here because

401
00:19:10.440 --> 00:19:13.519
<v Speaker 8>he's coming off major shoulder surgery. It was only his

402
00:19:13.640 --> 00:19:17.599
<v Speaker 8>third start since coming back, and it looked better than

403
00:19:17.720 --> 00:19:20.640
<v Speaker 8>what it looked like the second time. The second time

404
00:19:20.960 --> 00:19:24.119
<v Speaker 8>was somewhat better than the first time. So he's building

405
00:19:24.160 --> 00:19:27.720
<v Speaker 8>off of these things. And he's very confident that by

406
00:19:27.759 --> 00:19:31.319
<v Speaker 8>the time against Too, his sixth or seventh start, he's

407
00:19:31.359 --> 00:19:33.359
<v Speaker 8>going to be able to have a leash to go

408
00:19:33.400 --> 00:19:36.599
<v Speaker 8>into the sixth or seventh inning. So there's no pain.

409
00:19:36.799 --> 00:19:40.359
<v Speaker 8>The shoulder is structurally sound, there's no issues there.

410
00:19:40.359 --> 00:19:41.519
<v Speaker 10>It's just a matter of the.

411
00:19:41.519 --> 00:19:45.079
<v Speaker 8>Dodgers trusting Kershaw to go deeper into the game.

412
00:19:45.559 --> 00:19:48.279
<v Speaker 2>Damer Gutting getting guys back. It seems like every other

413
00:19:48.359 --> 00:19:51.519
<v Speaker 2>day here and right on the horizon, Max Mount, see

414
00:19:51.559 --> 00:19:54.039
<v Speaker 2>Tommy Edmund a little bit down the road. Actually, what's

415
00:19:54.079 --> 00:19:55.960
<v Speaker 2>the latest on those two and what's the plan for

416
00:19:56.000 --> 00:19:57.920
<v Speaker 2>them once they do get activated.

417
00:19:58.160 --> 00:20:01.480
<v Speaker 8>Well, first, Max Munsey and Tommy Edmund are going to

418
00:20:01.519 --> 00:20:05.640
<v Speaker 8>participate with Mookie Betts tomorrow in a simulated game here

419
00:20:05.680 --> 00:20:10.079
<v Speaker 8>at Dodgers Stadium. From there, Tommy Edmund and Max Munsey

420
00:20:10.319 --> 00:20:12.839
<v Speaker 8>are going to go out for a week at least

421
00:20:13.359 --> 00:20:17.400
<v Speaker 8>for rehab games. Monthsy wants some, Edmund and the Dodgers

422
00:20:17.440 --> 00:20:20.960
<v Speaker 8>agree he needs them because he really hasn't played the

423
00:20:21.000 --> 00:20:24.519
<v Speaker 8>field in a while since injuring his right ankle when

424
00:20:24.519 --> 00:20:28.240
<v Speaker 8>he was with the Cardinals rehabbing from his right wrist injury.

425
00:20:28.720 --> 00:20:31.720
<v Speaker 8>So both those guys need some games. But Mookie Betts

426
00:20:31.839 --> 00:20:35.359
<v Speaker 8>is strictly going to stay here in LA and participate

427
00:20:35.440 --> 00:20:38.359
<v Speaker 8>in a couple of simulated games. So that's the plan

428
00:20:38.480 --> 00:20:41.759
<v Speaker 8>for those three players, And obviously Mooki is on the

429
00:20:41.759 --> 00:20:44.880
<v Speaker 8>horizon coming back. When the Dodgers head out to Milwaukee

430
00:20:45.000 --> 00:20:45.960
<v Speaker 8>next Monday.

431
00:20:45.799 --> 00:20:46.920
<v Speaker 3>David is driven by Ford.

432
00:20:46.960 --> 00:20:48.839
<v Speaker 2>If there's one thing we like, it's choice is fine

433
00:20:48.920 --> 00:20:51.279
<v Speaker 2>yours with the four f one to fifty gas hybrid

434
00:20:51.319 --> 00:20:53.640
<v Speaker 2>or all electric tough This March YEP can only be

435
00:20:53.680 --> 00:20:57.480
<v Speaker 2>called f one fifty. Dalton Rushing, the Dodgers' top pick

436
00:20:57.480 --> 00:20:59.880
<v Speaker 2>in the twenty twenty two draft out of Louisville, is

437
00:21:00.119 --> 00:21:01.359
<v Speaker 2>kind of skyrocketed this.

438
00:21:01.319 --> 00:21:02.039
<v Speaker 3>Season, DV.

439
00:21:02.160 --> 00:21:04.480
<v Speaker 2>Through the minor leagues. Is there a chance we may

440
00:21:04.519 --> 00:21:07.839
<v Speaker 2>see the power hitting left hander in the big leagues

441
00:21:07.880 --> 00:21:08.720
<v Speaker 2>in September?

442
00:21:08.960 --> 00:21:12.000
<v Speaker 8>Well, I know the social media world really got into

443
00:21:12.119 --> 00:21:16.240
<v Speaker 8>a tizzy over Dalton Rushing being promoted a couple of

444
00:21:16.279 --> 00:21:19.440
<v Speaker 8>days ago, and he is going to play left field.

445
00:21:20.039 --> 00:21:22.640
<v Speaker 8>And I did talk to some people with the Dodgers

446
00:21:22.640 --> 00:21:25.200
<v Speaker 8>and ask them whether or not it was a possibility

447
00:21:25.759 --> 00:21:30.079
<v Speaker 8>for Dalton Rushing to be promoted in September. They would

448
00:21:30.160 --> 00:21:32.799
<v Speaker 8>not rule it out. They said it is a possibility,

449
00:21:33.160 --> 00:21:36.559
<v Speaker 8>but with the acquisitions they made at the trade deadline

450
00:21:36.680 --> 00:21:40.920
<v Speaker 8>and these players getting healthy, they may not need it

451
00:21:40.960 --> 00:21:43.200
<v Speaker 8>as much as they did if guys were not going

452
00:21:43.240 --> 00:21:46.240
<v Speaker 8>to come back. So they're not closing the door on it.

453
00:21:46.480 --> 00:21:48.960
<v Speaker 8>They want to see how Rushing plays in left field,

454
00:21:49.400 --> 00:21:54.079
<v Speaker 8>and if they do need another left handed outfielder, Rushing

455
00:21:54.160 --> 00:21:55.119
<v Speaker 8>could be that guy.

456
00:21:55.400 --> 00:21:57.559
<v Speaker 2>Not to throw you a curveball here, DV. But what's

457
00:21:57.599 --> 00:21:58.880
<v Speaker 2>the latest on Chris Taylor.

458
00:22:00.319 --> 00:22:01.680
<v Speaker 5>He's taking his time, Tim.

459
00:22:01.880 --> 00:22:04.039
<v Speaker 8>I think the Dodgers want him to take as much

460
00:22:04.079 --> 00:22:06.359
<v Speaker 8>time as he needs to come back from his groin injury.

461
00:22:06.400 --> 00:22:09.160
<v Speaker 8>I've seen him out here at Dodgers Stadium. He's been

462
00:22:09.480 --> 00:22:13.599
<v Speaker 8>taking ground balls, he's been doing some agility drills. But honestly,

463
00:22:14.279 --> 00:22:16.799
<v Speaker 8>with the way his season has gone, I would say

464
00:22:16.920 --> 00:22:18.720
<v Speaker 8>nobody is rushing Chris Taylor back.

465
00:22:19.119 --> 00:22:21.279
<v Speaker 2>Fair enough appreciated, d He will check back in with

486
00:23:29.000 --> 00:23:31.400
<v Speaker 2>in which Will Smith would hit a walk.

487
00:23:31.160 --> 00:23:32.039

00:25:15.359 --> 00:25:20.160
<v Speaker 1>broadcaster and World Series champion Dodger Rick Monday.

519
00:25:20.960 --> 00:25:24.720
<v Speaker 8>Rick the Dodgers looking to win this series, and yesterday

520
00:25:24.880 --> 00:25:28.480
<v Speaker 8>Brent Honeywell set the Dodger bullpen up nicely to try

521
00:25:28.480 --> 00:25:29.279
<v Speaker 8>to do that tonight.

522
00:25:29.400 --> 00:25:31.960
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, you know, we were looking I say, well as

523
00:25:32.000 --> 00:25:35.559
<v Speaker 6>Dwayne McDonald, producer, engineer, looking at a couple of different numbers.

524
00:25:35.599 --> 00:25:38.440
<v Speaker 6>And if we go back to Saturday's game, entering the

525
00:25:38.759 --> 00:25:42.599
<v Speaker 6>Saturday's game up in Oakland, here were the numbers on

526
00:25:42.759 --> 00:25:45.759
<v Speaker 6>the starting pitching and the relievers. Because the relievers have

527
00:25:45.839 --> 00:25:48.759
<v Speaker 6>had more than their fair share of Hey, by the way,

528
00:25:49.000 --> 00:25:51.400
<v Speaker 6>we need you to pitch, because coming into Saturday's game,

529
00:25:52.319 --> 00:25:54.960
<v Speaker 6>since the fifteenth, actually since the first of July, the

530
00:25:55.000 --> 00:25:57.319
<v Speaker 6>starting pitchers had worked one hundred and fifteen and a

531
00:25:57.359 --> 00:25:59.920
<v Speaker 6>third innings. The relievers had worked one hundred and four

532
00:26:00.480 --> 00:26:04.000
<v Speaker 6>and a third innings. Well, fortunately, since that time on Saturday,

533
00:26:04.680 --> 00:26:08.079
<v Speaker 6>starting pitching his begin beginning to stretch things out a

534
00:26:08.119 --> 00:26:11.960
<v Speaker 6>little bit more, lessen the burden upon the bullpen, because

535
00:26:12.400 --> 00:26:14.519
<v Speaker 6>that's going to be very, very important because you just

536
00:26:14.559 --> 00:26:16.759
<v Speaker 6>can't keep going to the well day after day after day.

537
00:26:17.200 --> 00:26:20.799
<v Speaker 8>Rick, can you remind us about last night Clayton Kershaw

538
00:26:20.920 --> 00:26:23.559
<v Speaker 8>won out away from going five innings a lot more

539
00:26:23.599 --> 00:26:26.440
<v Speaker 8>swings and misses than his previous start. Do you feel

540
00:26:26.440 --> 00:26:27.960
<v Speaker 8>like he's trending in the right direction?

541
00:26:28.160 --> 00:26:31.200
<v Speaker 6>Absolutely, because last night there was the breaking ball and

542
00:26:31.240 --> 00:26:33.000
<v Speaker 6>it was a breaking ball, not only with the curve ball,

543
00:26:33.039 --> 00:26:35.559
<v Speaker 6>but with the slider on top of it. And he

544
00:26:35.599 --> 00:26:38.200
<v Speaker 6>didn't waste any time at all. In fact, the very

545
00:26:38.240 --> 00:26:41.799
<v Speaker 6>first hitter, Kyle Schwarber, he strikes out in a two

546
00:26:41.799 --> 00:26:43.640
<v Speaker 6>to two pitch. He fouled a ball off in two

547
00:26:43.720 --> 00:26:46.200
<v Speaker 6>two and then strikes out swinging. And then that first

548
00:26:46.279 --> 00:26:49.799
<v Speaker 6>inning he established a very good slider. He established a

549
00:26:49.920 --> 00:26:52.960
<v Speaker 6>very good curve ball. Kershaw does not have to throw

550
00:26:53.160 --> 00:26:55.319
<v Speaker 6>ninety six miles an hour. He's not going to be

551
00:26:55.319 --> 00:26:59.799
<v Speaker 6>able to the muster that velocity again, but he's crafty day.

552
00:26:59.799 --> 00:27:02.640
<v Speaker 6>But he understands how to work and for last night

553
00:27:02.680 --> 00:27:05.359
<v Speaker 6>to have the command of the strike zone as he did.

554
00:27:05.759 --> 00:27:08.519
<v Speaker 6>I was very impressed because that's just the third outing

555
00:27:08.559 --> 00:27:10.599
<v Speaker 6>since he's come off the injured list, and if we

556
00:27:10.680 --> 00:27:13.160
<v Speaker 6>start to think about what he has accomplished coming off

557
00:27:13.160 --> 00:27:16.319
<v Speaker 6>that injured list with shoulder surgery at his age, it's

558
00:27:16.359 --> 00:27:17.200
<v Speaker 6>rather remarkable.

559
00:27:17.440 --> 00:27:19.359
<v Speaker 8>And he wasn't thrilled to be taken out of the

560
00:27:19.400 --> 00:27:22.559
<v Speaker 8>game right there, but he understands the Situation's.

561
00:27:21.880 --> 00:27:25.759
<v Speaker 6>What makes Clayton Kershaw Clayton Kershaw. He never wants to

562
00:27:25.799 --> 00:27:27.599
<v Speaker 6>come out of a ball game. Well, there's a few

563
00:27:27.640 --> 00:27:29.480
<v Speaker 6>times here and there that you know it may be

564
00:27:29.559 --> 00:27:32.400
<v Speaker 6>hot to maybe human and he's holding on and holding on.

565
00:27:32.480 --> 00:27:34.960
<v Speaker 6>But last night he wanted to go longer. That's the

566
00:27:35.039 --> 00:27:38.559
<v Speaker 6>difference in Clayton Kershaw and the competitiveness that he has

567
00:27:39.279 --> 00:27:41.640
<v Speaker 6>when you look at the truly great pitchers and those

568
00:27:41.680 --> 00:27:44.359
<v Speaker 6>that are here for maybe half a cup of coffee.

569
00:27:44.440 --> 00:27:46.640
<v Speaker 8>All right, Rick, I've been waiting a few games to

570
00:27:46.759 --> 00:27:49.559
<v Speaker 8>ask you this question. We've heard so much about the

571
00:27:49.599 --> 00:27:52.880
<v Speaker 8>gold glover Kevin Kiermeyer and center field. What are your

572
00:27:52.920 --> 00:27:55.079
<v Speaker 8>first impressions about the way he does it.

573
00:27:55.279 --> 00:27:58.319
<v Speaker 6>He can run it down with the best of them.

574
00:27:58.519 --> 00:28:01.799
<v Speaker 6>He does not make content with the bat with the

575
00:28:01.839 --> 00:28:04.359
<v Speaker 6>best of him, and if he could do that, he'd

576
00:28:04.400 --> 00:28:07.960
<v Speaker 6>be something I have always admired guys in centerfield, a

577
00:28:07.960 --> 00:28:11.160
<v Speaker 6>little partial, having been a center fielder myself, but he's

578
00:28:11.160 --> 00:28:13.559
<v Speaker 6>one of those guys. David, you look at a lot

579
00:28:13.559 --> 00:28:15.440
<v Speaker 6>of guys in the outfield and say, well, he goes

580
00:28:15.480 --> 00:28:17.480
<v Speaker 6>to his left really well, or he goes to his

581
00:28:17.640 --> 00:28:19.599
<v Speaker 6>right really well, or maybe he comes in on the

582
00:28:19.599 --> 00:28:22.400
<v Speaker 6>ball well. Kemic Cure Minors Carew has been able to

583
00:28:22.440 --> 00:28:24.559
<v Speaker 6>go in all four directions in out left and right,

584
00:28:24.599 --> 00:28:27.279
<v Speaker 6>to be able to make the catches. And if I'm

585
00:28:27.319 --> 00:28:29.720
<v Speaker 6>the pitcher on the mound, I know I've got somebody

586
00:28:29.759 --> 00:28:32.119
<v Speaker 6>that can just absolutely run it down to the outfield

587
00:28:32.160 --> 00:28:33.839
<v Speaker 6>if he has a chance to get to the ball.

588
00:28:34.000 --> 00:28:36.359
<v Speaker 8>No doubt the bat has slowed down, but the glove.

589
00:28:36.920 --> 00:28:39.119
<v Speaker 8>I guess what's reputation is.

590
00:28:39.240 --> 00:28:41.759
<v Speaker 6>I mean, if you look at what he has done

591
00:28:42.640 --> 00:28:45.640
<v Speaker 6>from a defensive standpoint, and you look at highlight films,

592
00:28:45.759 --> 00:28:47.480
<v Speaker 6>guess who you're going to see a lot of Ken

593
00:28:47.559 --> 00:28:48.119
<v Speaker 6>mc kermeyer.

594
00:28:48.440 --> 00:28:50.640
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, can't wait to see tom Y Edman out there too.

595
00:28:50.680 --> 00:28:52.640
<v Speaker 8>We've heard so much about him and how good he

596
00:28:52.720 --> 00:28:55.799
<v Speaker 8>is out there too. Exactly, So I'll give you five

597
00:28:55.880 --> 00:28:58.279
<v Speaker 8>games when Tom Y Edman comes back and plays center

598
00:28:58.279 --> 00:29:00.759
<v Speaker 8>field before I ask you, I let at marinate a

599
00:29:00.799 --> 00:29:01.240
<v Speaker 8>little bit.

600
00:29:01.359 --> 00:29:03.920
<v Speaker 6>Okay, all right, you don't let the You don't have

601
00:29:03.920 --> 00:29:08.440
<v Speaker 6>to let the marinate much much longer. He's already, you know,

602
00:29:08.559 --> 00:29:10.480
<v Speaker 6>earned his stripes. If you will being able to run

603
00:29:10.480 --> 00:29:12.200
<v Speaker 6>the ball down, you can also play short stop, you

604
00:29:12.240 --> 00:29:15.079
<v Speaker 6>can play in the infields anywhere. So, yeah, he's a

605
00:29:15.119 --> 00:29:18.880
<v Speaker 6>good globe man, speaking a globe man. Miguel Rojas is

606
00:29:18.920 --> 00:29:21.160
<v Speaker 6>back in the lineup. He's at shortstop tonight coming off

607
00:29:21.160 --> 00:29:23.880
<v Speaker 6>the injured list in a very sad situation last night

608
00:29:23.880 --> 00:29:28.480
<v Speaker 6>with Bruce dog Grattarol unfortunately eight pitches into his just

609
00:29:28.519 --> 00:29:31.079
<v Speaker 6>second starts as coming off the injured list of what

610
00:29:31.200 --> 00:29:35.079
<v Speaker 6>appeared to be a devastating handstring injury and very sad news.

611
00:29:35.119 --> 00:29:38.359
<v Speaker 6>And he was very emotional last night, and understandably so.

612
00:29:38.640 --> 00:29:40.680
<v Speaker 8>He's a big teddy bear. Even though his nickname is

613
00:29:40.720 --> 00:29:41.240
<v Speaker 8>the Bazooka.

614
00:29:41.359 --> 00:29:42.799
<v Speaker 6>Well, you don't want to face him at home plate,

615
00:29:42.799 --> 00:29:44.640
<v Speaker 6>but he's a guy that you like to put your

616
00:29:44.720 --> 00:29:46.640
<v Speaker 6>armor around and say, hey, thanks, are going to be okay?

617
00:29:46.960 --> 00:29:47.200
<v Speaker 5>Yeah?

618
00:29:47.359 --> 00:29:49.839
<v Speaker 8>Key k Hernandez did that last night walking him off

619
00:29:49.839 --> 00:29:52.519
<v Speaker 8>the field. Thanks Rick, I'll put my arm around you now.

647
00:31:07.319 --> 00:31:08.440
<v Speaker 1>from a Dodger player.

648
00:31:08.519 --> 00:31:09.799
<v Speaker 3>It's an engagement of endearment.

649
00:31:09.839 --> 00:31:11.720
<v Speaker 5>This this high and tight.

650
00:31:12.559 --> 00:31:15.519
<v Speaker 8>It's Sandy Kofax babo head night at Dodger Stadium and

651
00:31:15.599 --> 00:31:18.839
<v Speaker 8>also Alumni weekend coming up. And what a better person

652
00:31:18.880 --> 00:31:21.960
<v Speaker 8>to talk to than Dodger team a story and Mark Langel, Mark,

653
00:31:22.000 --> 00:31:24.039
<v Speaker 8>great to see you here at Dodger Stadium. We're all

654
00:31:24.079 --> 00:31:26.200
<v Speaker 8>so happy things are going well with you.

655
00:31:26.480 --> 00:31:28.039
<v Speaker 10>Well, David, it's a pleasure to be here.

656
00:31:28.039 --> 00:31:31.119
<v Speaker 12>And right after you say Alumni Weekend, I immediately think

657
00:31:31.160 --> 00:31:33.240
<v Speaker 12>of Old Timers Day when they called it when I

658
00:31:33.319 --> 00:31:35.640
<v Speaker 12>was a kid in the nineteen seventies and eighties, and

659
00:31:35.680 --> 00:31:38.200
<v Speaker 12>it's still the same premise, no matter the same generation

660
00:31:38.359 --> 00:31:41.000
<v Speaker 12>in terms of what you remember and everything. How cool

661
00:31:41.000 --> 00:31:43.359
<v Speaker 12>that we're going to have all these familiar names coming

662
00:31:43.400 --> 00:31:45.920
<v Speaker 12>back to Dodger Stadium and sharing memories.

663
00:31:45.640 --> 00:31:49.519
<v Speaker 8>Including the all time legend Sandy Kofax. What do you

664
00:31:50.000 --> 00:31:53.599
<v Speaker 8>want to share about him? Because it feels like everybody

665
00:31:53.680 --> 00:31:55.920
<v Speaker 8>just bows at the altar of Sandy Kofax.

666
00:31:56.079 --> 00:31:58.839
<v Speaker 12>Well, just imagine who is a reigning Hall of Famer

667
00:31:58.920 --> 00:32:01.319
<v Speaker 12>for more than a half cent. I think people see

668
00:32:01.319 --> 00:32:03.960
<v Speaker 12>the statue, but they don't really know the legend as

669
00:32:04.000 --> 00:32:05.240
<v Speaker 12>far as behind the scenes.

670
00:32:05.559 --> 00:32:07.799
<v Speaker 10>He retires when he's thirty.

671
00:32:07.599 --> 00:32:11.079
<v Speaker 12>Years old, having won twenty seven regular season games in

672
00:32:11.160 --> 00:32:13.480
<v Speaker 12>nineteen sixty six because of arthritis.

673
00:32:13.640 --> 00:32:14.640
<v Speaker 10>So if you look at all the.

674
00:32:14.599 --> 00:32:17.680
<v Speaker 12>Stats, they say three times Cy Young Award winner, they

675
00:32:17.720 --> 00:32:20.960
<v Speaker 12>only gave one Cy Young Award between nineteen fifty six

676
00:32:21.119 --> 00:32:23.559
<v Speaker 12>and nineteen sixty six, and I have a feeling that

677
00:32:23.640 --> 00:32:25.880
<v Speaker 12>after Sandy had won three, they said, you know, we

678
00:32:25.960 --> 00:32:28.799
<v Speaker 12>better give one to each league, otherwise Sandy's going to

679
00:32:28.839 --> 00:32:29.400
<v Speaker 12>take them all.

680
00:32:29.599 --> 00:32:32.599
<v Speaker 8>How much have you shared stories and memories with Sandy

681
00:32:32.640 --> 00:32:35.359
<v Speaker 8>Kofax for him to be in the vault of Mark

682
00:32:35.440 --> 00:32:36.200
<v Speaker 8>Langel's head.

683
00:32:36.720 --> 00:32:38.759
<v Speaker 12>The really nice thing is to be able to know

684
00:32:38.839 --> 00:32:41.240
<v Speaker 12>behind the scenes as far as the perfect game, and

685
00:32:41.240 --> 00:32:43.039
<v Speaker 12>to be able to work with Jane Levy as far

686
00:32:43.079 --> 00:32:44.400
<v Speaker 12>as that wonderful book.

687
00:32:44.200 --> 00:32:44.720
<v Speaker 5>That he did.

688
00:32:44.839 --> 00:32:48.000
<v Speaker 12>She did because people just don't understand. We've been playing

689
00:32:48.039 --> 00:32:51.319
<v Speaker 12>baseball since eighteen ninety in the National League, we've only

690
00:32:51.359 --> 00:32:55.200
<v Speaker 12>had one perfect game. September the ninth, nineteen sixty five.

691
00:32:55.559 --> 00:32:58.359
<v Speaker 12>Sandy pitched it. So the greatest pitcher in our history

692
00:32:58.519 --> 00:33:01.240
<v Speaker 12>pitched the only perfect game. And oh, by the way,

693
00:33:01.359 --> 00:33:04.799
<v Speaker 12>Bob Henley of the Chicago Cubs only allowed one hit

694
00:33:05.279 --> 00:33:07.599
<v Speaker 12>and one walk, and the hit had nothing to do

695
00:33:07.680 --> 00:33:09.640
<v Speaker 12>with the scoring, so it could have been a double

696
00:33:09.680 --> 00:33:12.200
<v Speaker 12>no hitter. So that night was just one of those

697
00:33:12.480 --> 00:33:16.319
<v Speaker 12>pitching for the ages. Bob Henley versus Sandy Kolfe's.

698
00:33:16.240 --> 00:33:19.279
<v Speaker 8>Mark Langel Dodger team Historing is joining us and on

699
00:33:19.319 --> 00:33:22.559
<v Speaker 8>Friday night, Mark Dusty Baker will be honored. He was

700
00:33:22.599 --> 00:33:26.160
<v Speaker 8>my favorite Dodger growing up. He captured the imagination of

701
00:33:26.240 --> 00:33:29.440
<v Speaker 8>so many young Dodger fans. How special is it finally

702
00:33:29.480 --> 00:33:32.759
<v Speaker 8>to have I guess, not closure, but full circle for

703
00:33:32.880 --> 00:33:33.759
<v Speaker 8>Dusty on Friday.

704
00:33:33.839 --> 00:33:36.519
<v Speaker 12>It's definitely full circle because I remember the struggles that

705
00:33:36.559 --> 00:33:37.039
<v Speaker 12>he went through.

706
00:33:37.039 --> 00:33:39.640
<v Speaker 10>In nineteen seventy six. He hits a home run.

707
00:33:39.480 --> 00:33:41.599
<v Speaker 12>On opening Day and then they only hits three more

708
00:33:41.640 --> 00:33:44.680
<v Speaker 12>because he's got knee problems. Tommy Lesorda comes along in

709
00:33:44.759 --> 00:33:45.880
<v Speaker 12>nineteen seventy seven.

710
00:33:45.960 --> 00:33:47.079
<v Speaker 10>I believe in you.

711
00:33:47.079 --> 00:33:50.160
<v Speaker 12>You're my guy, You're my left fielder. And just imagine

712
00:33:50.200 --> 00:33:52.400
<v Speaker 12>you're going into that final week end of the season.

713
00:33:52.720 --> 00:33:55.400
<v Speaker 12>The other three Ron Say, Reggie Smith and Steve Garvey

714
00:33:55.440 --> 00:33:58.240
<v Speaker 12>have their thirty home runs and you're gonna face JR.

715
00:33:58.359 --> 00:34:01.680
<v Speaker 12>Richard on Sunday the final regular season game. And my

716
00:34:01.759 --> 00:34:05.920
<v Speaker 12>favorite story from that, Reggie Smith actually called the Houston

717
00:34:06.000 --> 00:34:08.960
<v Speaker 12>dugout in front of Dusty and said, let me talk

718
00:34:08.960 --> 00:34:11.599
<v Speaker 12>to Jr. And he said, I'm gonna He's gonna do

719
00:34:11.639 --> 00:34:14.480
<v Speaker 12>it against you, and Dusty's in the background going no, no,

720
00:34:14.639 --> 00:34:16.800
<v Speaker 12>don't say that don't say that, And it all comes

721
00:34:16.840 --> 00:34:19.599
<v Speaker 12>down to the final at bat, and Dusty remembers Tommy

722
00:34:19.599 --> 00:34:22.400
<v Speaker 12>giving him the rob Ross speech, something about Moses and

723
00:34:22.400 --> 00:34:24.800
<v Speaker 12>the partying into the Red Sea, and to be able

724
00:34:24.840 --> 00:34:27.960
<v Speaker 12>to hit that home run on the last day as

725
00:34:27.960 --> 00:34:30.280
<v Speaker 12>a kid, for me, I'm in middle school. I wanted

726
00:34:30.360 --> 00:34:32.599
<v Speaker 12>him to do that so bad. And then afterwards for

727
00:34:32.679 --> 00:34:35.079
<v Speaker 12>them to be able to all tip their caps and

728
00:34:35.159 --> 00:34:38.039
<v Speaker 12>the first thirty home run quartet and now it's like

729
00:34:38.119 --> 00:34:40.360
<v Speaker 12>Mount Rushmore. They were the first to do it, and

730
00:34:40.440 --> 00:34:43.199
<v Speaker 12>Dodger fans in seventy seven will never forget that quartet.

731
00:34:43.400 --> 00:34:46.119
<v Speaker 8>This might be the first time they've been together at

732
00:34:46.159 --> 00:34:48.480
<v Speaker 8>the same place at the same time at Dodger Stadium

733
00:34:48.519 --> 00:34:48.960
<v Speaker 8>in a while.

734
00:34:49.079 --> 00:34:51.599
<v Speaker 12>Absolutely, and John Sue, who are a great team photographer

735
00:34:51.639 --> 00:34:54.559
<v Speaker 12>who's been here forever, said he's never shot Dusty in

736
00:34:54.639 --> 00:34:57.039
<v Speaker 12>a Dodger uniform because if you think of it, when

737
00:34:57.159 --> 00:35:00.239
<v Speaker 12>Dusty left, When Dusty leaves in the mid eighties, only

738
00:35:00.320 --> 00:35:02.199
<v Speaker 12>he goes to the Giants, he goes through the A's,

739
00:35:02.280 --> 00:35:04.480
<v Speaker 12>he goes to the Reds and Cubs, and so this

740
00:35:04.519 --> 00:35:07.800
<v Speaker 12>is a great homecoming. Dusty would always participate in pregame

741
00:35:07.840 --> 00:35:10.239
<v Speaker 12>ceremonies if we had a bobblehead or things like that.

742
00:35:10.679 --> 00:35:13.159
<v Speaker 12>But to be able to see Dusty in a Dodger uniform,

743
00:35:13.440 --> 00:35:16.599
<v Speaker 12>it's a wonderful sight. But Dodger fans have to turn

744
00:35:16.719 --> 00:35:19.639
<v Speaker 12>back the clock to the nineteen seventies and early eighties

745
00:35:19.840 --> 00:35:23.239
<v Speaker 12>to actually see Johnny B in a Dodger uniform number

746
00:35:23.280 --> 00:35:25.039
<v Speaker 12>twelve like his boyhood idol.

747
00:35:25.119 --> 00:35:28.519
<v Speaker 8>Tommy Davis can't wait. It's gonna be a great alumni weekend.

748
00:35:28.559 --> 00:35:30.800
<v Speaker 8>Mark Langel. We're so happy you're doing well. You're a

776
00:36:47.119 --> 00:36:49.480
<v Speaker 2>four thirty nine ERA, twenty six year old right hander.

777
00:36:49.559 --> 00:36:52.400
<v Speaker 2>Former sixteenth round pick of the Rangers in twenty fifteen,

778
00:36:52.440 --> 00:36:53.840
<v Speaker 2>he was our Minor League Pitcher of the Year in

779
00:36:53.880 --> 00:36:56.719
<v Speaker 2>twenty eighteen. He's now pitching for his hometown team. He

780
00:36:56.760 --> 00:37:00.000
<v Speaker 2>grew up seven and a half miles away from Citizens

781
00:37:00.079 --> 00:37:02.719
<v Speaker 2>Bank Park, just outside of Philadelphia, across the river in

782
00:37:02.760 --> 00:37:05.440
<v Speaker 2>New Jersey, there was a sinker, a sweeper forcing fastball

783
00:37:05.440 --> 00:37:08.239
<v Speaker 2>on the occasional Curveball made his major league debut this season,

784
00:37:08.320 --> 00:37:11.000
<v Speaker 2>in fact, last month, making his fifth start, sixth appearance

785
00:37:11.039 --> 00:37:13.360
<v Speaker 2>last time out, got roughed up by the Mariners and

786
00:37:13.440 --> 00:37:15.960
<v Speaker 2>inning in two thirds, eight runs, five hits, including three

787
00:37:16.119 --> 00:37:19.320
<v Speaker 2>home runs. Tonight's his first time facing the Dodgers. Gavin

788
00:37:19.360 --> 00:37:20.960
<v Speaker 2>Stone on the Mountain nine and five with a three

789
00:37:21.039 --> 00:37:23.920
<v Speaker 2>sixty three ERA. Twenty five year old right hitter making

790
00:37:23.960 --> 00:37:27.519
<v Speaker 2>his twenty first start of this season. He tossed six

791
00:37:27.559 --> 00:37:29.599
<v Speaker 2>plus innings in ten of his twenty starts this year.

792
00:37:29.679 --> 00:37:33.360
<v Speaker 2>Last time out, four innings, five runs, eight hits, five

793
00:37:33.400 --> 00:37:35.760
<v Speaker 2>strikeouts and a loss to the ace, so he's looking

794
00:37:35.760 --> 00:37:37.840
<v Speaker 2>to bounce back after a really good first half of

795
00:37:37.880 --> 00:37:40.719
<v Speaker 2>the season. He's making his second start against the Phillies

796
00:37:40.760 --> 00:37:43.159
<v Speaker 2>this year, after delivering four and two third innings back

797
00:37:43.199 --> 00:37:45.320
<v Speaker 2>on July tenth the Citizens Bank Park, where he took

798
00:37:45.360 --> 00:37:48.199
<v Speaker 2>the loss after giving up four earned runs on nine hits.

799
00:37:48.280 --> 00:37:50.199
<v Speaker 2>He's still looking for his first win against them. Zh

800
00:37:50.239 --> 00:37:54.039
<v Speaker 2>to one and two career starts at eight thirty one ERRA.

<v Speaker 2>Stephen Nelson Rick Monday.

816
00:38:53.360 --> 00:38:56.960
<v Speaker 4>Guys, Thank you, Tim. Dodgers and Phillies' final game of

817
00:38:57.000 --> 00:38:58.960
<v Speaker 4>this three game series. The Dodgers have an off day

818
00:38:59.000 --> 00:39:02.119
<v Speaker 4>on Thursday before or the other Pennsylvania team comes to town,

819
00:39:02.159 --> 00:39:06.719
<v Speaker 4>the Pirates this weekend. Gavin Stone starting tonight Rick Monday.

820
00:39:06.719 --> 00:39:08.960
<v Speaker 4>He's nine to five with a three six three ERA.

821
00:39:09.159 --> 00:39:12.719
<v Speaker 4>Those season numbers really strong for the rookie Gavin Stone.

822
00:39:12.760 --> 00:39:15.440
<v Speaker 4>He has been terrific this year, but the last month

823
00:39:15.840 --> 00:39:17.000
<v Speaker 4>has been really difficult.

824
00:39:17.039 --> 00:39:20.480
<v Speaker 6>Well, they've been difficult, and they've been difficult early on.

825
00:39:20.679 --> 00:39:22.320
<v Speaker 6>When you look in at the ban first of all,

826
00:39:22.400 --> 00:39:24.480
<v Speaker 6>first batter of an inning hitting at three thirty six,

827
00:39:24.559 --> 00:39:26.760
<v Speaker 6>that's the highest average of a starting pitcher in baseball.

828
00:39:26.920 --> 00:39:29.199
<v Speaker 6>The other part, too, is first pitch of an advent,

829
00:39:29.840 --> 00:39:32.320
<v Speaker 6>it's a four to ten batting average. Is there a

830
00:39:32.480 --> 00:39:35.320
<v Speaker 6>pattern that he has fallen into that maybe people are

831
00:39:35.360 --> 00:39:37.639
<v Speaker 6>paying attention to. Don't really know the answer to that.

832
00:39:37.880 --> 00:39:40.079
<v Speaker 6>If you look at the Dodgers, they have one complete game. However,

833
00:39:40.119 --> 00:39:42.760
<v Speaker 6>in the positive standpoint, who's that from, Well that was

834
00:39:42.800 --> 00:39:45.559
<v Speaker 6>Gavin Stone had the complete game. To shut out one

835
00:39:45.559 --> 00:39:47.920
<v Speaker 6>thing about it. He's not afraid to pitch, and we'll

836
00:39:47.960 --> 00:39:50.440
<v Speaker 6>find out if that change up is working with perfection.

837
00:39:50.559 --> 00:39:52.559
<v Speaker 6>First of all, he throws out a high percentage of time.

838
00:39:52.880 --> 00:39:54.960
<v Speaker 6>And then if we look at the Phillies, they have

839
00:39:55.119 --> 00:39:58.000
<v Speaker 6>some guys that don't particularly handle the change up well

840
00:39:58.280 --> 00:40:00.599
<v Speaker 6>right at the stop. Right at the time I should

841
00:40:00.639 --> 00:40:04.079
<v Speaker 6>say is that Schwarber trade Turner and Bryce Harper along

842
00:40:04.119 --> 00:40:07.239
<v Speaker 6>with Nick Castianos. There's four guys in their lineup diffrom

843
00:40:07.280 --> 00:40:09.320
<v Speaker 6>time to time. That change up is a little bit

844
00:40:09.320 --> 00:40:09.960
<v Speaker 6>strange for them.

845
00:40:10.159 --> 00:40:13.400
<v Speaker 4>The Phillies got the stone in Philadelphia, there were some

846
00:40:13.480 --> 00:40:15.760
<v Speaker 4>tough defense behind Gavin. To be fair to him, in

847
00:40:15.800 --> 00:40:18.000
<v Speaker 4>that start at Citizens Bank Park. He'll try to get

848
00:40:18.039 --> 00:40:20.519
<v Speaker 4>him back here tonight and they'll have they go Rojas

849
00:40:20.599 --> 00:40:22.880
<v Speaker 4>behind him back at short. First game for Mickey Row

850
00:40:22.960 --> 00:40:27.239
<v Speaker 4>since July the twenty, first activated off the injured list today,

851
00:40:27.480 --> 00:40:30.519
<v Speaker 4>Dodgers and Phillies three of three. When we talk to you.

852
00:40:30.440 --> 00:40:33.039
<v Speaker 2>Next, all right, Dodgers going to play it now with

853
00:40:33.079 --> 00:40:34.800
<v Speaker 2>a three and a half game of lead over the

854
00:40:34.800 --> 00:40:37.800
<v Speaker 2>Arizona Diamondbacks, who have won their fourth in a row

855
00:40:37.840 --> 00:40:41.679
<v Speaker 2>eight of ten. The Padres meanwhile taking on the Pirates.

856
00:40:41.840 --> 00:40:43.440
<v Speaker 2>They're in the bottom half of the ninth and eight

857
00:40:43.440 --> 00:40:46.800
<v Speaker 2>at P and C Park in Pittsburgh. The Pirates have

858
00:40:46.840 --> 00:40:49.800
<v Speaker 2>the bases loaded and a chance to get a walk

859
00:40:49.800 --> 00:40:53.000
<v Speaker 2>off win with the game tied six to six and

860
00:40:53.159 --> 00:40:55.199
<v Speaker 2>one out. That can help out the Dodgers because the

861
00:40:55.239 --> 00:40:57.840
<v Speaker 2>Padres four games back. But hey, Dodgers need to take

862
00:40:57.880 --> 00:41:00.920
<v Speaker 2>care of business. Keep winning and it'll take care of itself.

863
00:41:01.079 --> 00:41:04.039
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers Phillies, Gavin Stone on the mount when we come back.

864
00:41:04.679 --> 00:41:07.039
<v Speaker 2>First pitch is next. I'm Tim Katson. This is Los
