46
00:02:17.080 --> 00:02:22.159
<v Speaker 7>at the Gallpin Motors Broadcast booth. Well yesterday at Kaufman Stadium,

47
00:02:22.319 --> 00:02:25.919
<v Speaker 7>it was show Hey Otani getting the start, the right

48
00:02:25.960 --> 00:02:29.159
<v Speaker 7>hander making his third start in a Dodger uniform. The

49
00:02:29.240 --> 00:02:32.800
<v Speaker 7>first two outings he went one inning a piece. Yesterday

50
00:02:33.000 --> 00:02:36.560
<v Speaker 7>he was expected to go more and he did two innings,

51
00:02:36.599 --> 00:02:40.439
<v Speaker 7>no runs, one hit, one walk, one strikeout. He threw

52
00:02:40.520 --> 00:02:43.240
<v Speaker 7>twenty seven pitches. He even hit one hundred and two

53
00:02:43.280 --> 00:02:46.560
<v Speaker 7>miles an hour on the radar gun. He looked great

54
00:02:46.680 --> 00:02:49.520
<v Speaker 7>in his third outing in a Dodger uniform. He turned

55
00:02:49.520 --> 00:02:52.000
<v Speaker 7>it over to Benksparaus, who was battling.

56
00:02:51.639 --> 00:02:52.400
<v Speaker 1>A bit of the flu.

57
00:02:52.840 --> 00:02:55.120
<v Speaker 7>Had the chills, had a fever the night before at

58
00:02:55.120 --> 00:02:56.039
<v Speaker 7>the team hotel.

59
00:02:56.479 --> 00:02:58.080
<v Speaker 1>He woke up said he was good to go.

60
00:02:58.479 --> 00:03:00.879
<v Speaker 7>He went four Indians, but gave up six runs on

61
00:03:01.039 --> 00:03:05.039
<v Speaker 7>eight hits, struck out four through seventy five pitches. Mckel

62
00:03:05.120 --> 00:03:07.199
<v Speaker 7>garcias two run double in the third made it a

63
00:03:07.280 --> 00:03:10.159
<v Speaker 7>two nineteen Royals lead. In the fifth, they would tack

64
00:03:10.240 --> 00:03:14.080
<v Speaker 7>on four more, including a Vinnie Pascentino three run home run,

65
00:03:14.240 --> 00:03:15.479
<v Speaker 7>as the Royals.

66
00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:16.560
<v Speaker 1>Led it six to nothing.

67
00:03:17.000 --> 00:03:19.879
<v Speaker 7>It remained that way all the way to the seventh inning,

68
00:03:19.879 --> 00:03:23.520
<v Speaker 7>and the Dodgers offense couldn't do anything until the seventh

69
00:03:23.520 --> 00:03:25.879
<v Speaker 7>inning when Freddy Freeman went deep.

70
00:03:26.560 --> 00:03:29.840
<v Speaker 8>Now two to one and Freddie swings and hammers won

71
00:03:29.879 --> 00:03:32.520
<v Speaker 8>the center field is bell heading back to the wall,

72
00:03:32.639 --> 00:03:35.800
<v Speaker 8>he looks up it is gone a home run for Freeman.

73
00:03:37.879 --> 00:03:41.000
<v Speaker 8>Freddie's got a solo homer, his first home run since

74
00:03:41.159 --> 00:03:46.039
<v Speaker 8>May eleventh at Arizona, and the Dodgers get on the

75
00:03:46.039 --> 00:03:47.560
<v Speaker 8>board at six to one.

76
00:03:47.800 --> 00:03:50.919
<v Speaker 7>Freddy Freeman with the solo home run forty one games

77
00:03:50.919 --> 00:03:53.680
<v Speaker 7>without a home run for Freddy, that is his tenth

78
00:03:53.759 --> 00:03:55.800
<v Speaker 7>of the year. They got the Dodgers on the board

79
00:03:55.800 --> 00:03:58.439
<v Speaker 7>down six to one. The bottom of the inning, though,

80
00:03:58.639 --> 00:04:01.560
<v Speaker 7>back came the Royals with three more including if Any

81
00:04:01.639 --> 00:04:05.479
<v Speaker 7>Pascentino two run double, Salvador Perez and RBI double.

82
00:04:06.039 --> 00:04:06.960
<v Speaker 1>Nine to one.

83
00:04:07.280 --> 00:04:09.919
<v Speaker 7>Royals led the Dodgers and the ninth inning to the

84
00:04:09.919 --> 00:04:12.599
<v Speaker 7>top of the inning. Miguel Rojas was out to pitch

85
00:04:12.599 --> 00:04:14.960
<v Speaker 7>for the Dodgers the bottom of the orbit. At the

86
00:04:14.960 --> 00:04:17.759
<v Speaker 7>top of the ninth inning, the Dodgers offense got going

87
00:04:17.800 --> 00:04:19.839
<v Speaker 7>with Max Munsey getting it started.

88
00:04:20.879 --> 00:04:24.319
<v Speaker 8>Nine to one. Royals leaded. There comes the pitch to Monsey.

89
00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:27.639
<v Speaker 8>These swings and lines it the right. That's a base hit.

90
00:04:27.879 --> 00:04:33.240
<v Speaker 8>Here comes Kim in the score. Everybody stops going station

91
00:04:33.399 --> 00:04:37.360
<v Speaker 8>to station. It's a two out RBI single for Max Monsey,

92
00:04:37.439 --> 00:04:38.959
<v Speaker 8>his second hit of the afternoon.

93
00:04:38.959 --> 00:04:39.959
<v Speaker 3>He's two for four and.

94
00:04:40.079 --> 00:04:44.079
<v Speaker 2>Monsey just continues to just absolutely pound the baseball.

95
00:04:43.879 --> 00:04:47.240
<v Speaker 8>Well in the last five games. That's his sixteenth RBI.

96
00:04:47.800 --> 00:04:50.879
<v Speaker 7>Max Munsey the RBI single, Dodgers down nine to two

97
00:04:50.959 --> 00:04:52.560
<v Speaker 7>in the top half of the ninth inning, and then

98
00:04:52.639 --> 00:04:55.240
<v Speaker 7>key Ky Hernandez a two run single. Though look now

99
00:04:55.279 --> 00:04:57.399
<v Speaker 7>the Dodgers are down nine to four. Then Andy pat

100
00:04:57.399 --> 00:05:00.920
<v Speaker 7>has an RBI single that made it a nine five game.

101
00:05:01.000 --> 00:05:04.959
<v Speaker 7>Dodgers runners on from Michael Confordo, who grounded out with

102
00:05:05.120 --> 00:05:06.720
<v Speaker 7>two outs to end the game.

103
00:05:06.879 --> 00:05:09.160
<v Speaker 1>In the threat. Dodgers with four in the top of

104
00:05:09.199 --> 00:05:10.000
<v Speaker 1>the ninth.

105
00:05:09.759 --> 00:05:13.279
<v Speaker 7>Made it interesting, but the Royals get the win nine

106
00:05:13.319 --> 00:05:17.439
<v Speaker 7>to five. Seth Lugo the victory. Ben Casparagus gets the loss.

107
00:05:17.480 --> 00:05:20.639
<v Speaker 7>Dodgers snapped their five game winning streak. Now fifty two

108
00:05:20.720 --> 00:05:23.759
<v Speaker 7>and thirty two on this season. They remain six games

109
00:05:23.839 --> 00:05:26.319
<v Speaker 7>up in the Padres in the NL West, six and

110
00:05:26.319 --> 00:05:29.040
<v Speaker 7>a half games up on the San Francisco Giants and

111
00:05:29.079 --> 00:05:31.680
<v Speaker 7>today the rubber game of this three game series.

112
00:05:31.959 --> 00:05:33.519
<v Speaker 1>Luke Trevino will be the opener.

113
00:05:33.560 --> 00:05:36.360
<v Speaker 7>When it gets underway, we will start in a weather

114
00:05:36.480 --> 00:05:39.120
<v Speaker 7>delay though in Kansas City. Right now we head out

115
00:05:39.160 --> 00:05:41.560
<v Speaker 7>to the Galpamotors broadcast booth and as we welcome in

116
00:05:41.600 --> 00:05:43.120
<v Speaker 7>Tim Neverritt and Rick Monday.

117
00:05:43.160 --> 00:05:45.360
<v Speaker 3>Guys, Tim, thank you very much.

118
00:05:45.439 --> 00:05:47.120
<v Speaker 8>We get you ready for the game today here in

119
00:05:47.160 --> 00:05:49.360
<v Speaker 8>Kansas City, the final game of this three game set,

120
00:05:49.439 --> 00:05:51.920
<v Speaker 8>last game of the six game road trip to Dodgers

121
00:05:52.399 --> 00:05:56.240
<v Speaker 8>four and one in the previous five games. Thunderstorms rolled

122
00:05:56.279 --> 00:06:00.639
<v Speaker 8>through Kansas City this morning rained to the early afternoon

123
00:06:00.680 --> 00:06:04.120
<v Speaker 8>here today, and we should be okay and on time

124
00:06:04.160 --> 00:06:08.040
<v Speaker 8>to play as the Dodgers will send lou Trevino to

125
00:06:08.120 --> 00:06:10.959
<v Speaker 8>the mound as an opener. He is three to zero

126
00:06:11.120 --> 00:06:13.120
<v Speaker 8>with a four to zero six earn run average. Chris

127
00:06:13.120 --> 00:06:16.720
<v Speaker 8>Bubach will go for the Royals. He is six and

128
00:06:16.800 --> 00:06:20.040
<v Speaker 8>five the left handed with a two eighteen earned run average.

129
00:06:20.199 --> 00:06:23.000
<v Speaker 8>Justin Robleski expected to come in and pitch most of

130
00:06:23.040 --> 00:06:26.680
<v Speaker 8>the innings after Trevino is out. Dodgers did make a

131
00:06:26.839 --> 00:06:32.639
<v Speaker 8>roster move today designating for assignment Luis Garcia, who pitched

132
00:06:32.639 --> 00:06:35.199
<v Speaker 8>in the last two straight games. Noah Davis, who is

133
00:06:35.240 --> 00:06:37.800
<v Speaker 8>here on the taxi squad, has been activated and he

134
00:06:37.839 --> 00:06:42.000
<v Speaker 8>will be in the bullpen. Dodgers losing yesterday Mo nine

135
00:06:42.040 --> 00:06:44.680
<v Speaker 8>to five, but it was much worse than that score

136
00:06:44.720 --> 00:06:47.680
<v Speaker 8>would indicate, because the Dodgers put four up in the

137
00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:48.399
<v Speaker 8>top of the nineteen.

138
00:06:48.480 --> 00:06:48.680
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

139
00:06:48.680 --> 00:06:50.600
<v Speaker 2>One good thing that it did come out of it

140
00:06:50.680 --> 00:06:53.240
<v Speaker 2>is it Freddy Freeman. And I made mention actually in

141
00:06:53.319 --> 00:06:56.920
<v Speaker 2>the pregame shows that I've seen better swings from Freddy Freeman.

142
00:06:56.959 --> 00:06:59.000
<v Speaker 2>I thought, well, he get a few hits. Well, he

143
00:06:59.040 --> 00:07:00.879
<v Speaker 2>had three hits all, so I had a couple of

144
00:07:00.879 --> 00:07:03.759
<v Speaker 2>walks and hit his first home run since the eleventh

145
00:07:03.800 --> 00:07:06.920
<v Speaker 2>of May. That's the good news. It was predetermined that

146
00:07:07.000 --> 00:07:09.639
<v Speaker 2>Freeman was not going to be in the line of today,

147
00:07:09.759 --> 00:07:13.360
<v Speaker 2>so Freddy was on one of the later buses coming

148
00:07:13.439 --> 00:07:16.000
<v Speaker 2>today and he's not going to be their kick. Hernanez

149
00:07:16.000 --> 00:07:18.079
<v Speaker 2>would be at first base at least at the beginning

150
00:07:18.160 --> 00:07:21.240
<v Speaker 2>of the ballgame. But this is a ball club. Two Now,

151
00:07:21.680 --> 00:07:23.959
<v Speaker 2>if you look at the Dodgers having won fourteen to

152
00:07:23.959 --> 00:07:27.360
<v Speaker 2>the last nineteen games, and they start today six in

153
00:07:27.399 --> 00:07:29.560
<v Speaker 2>front of San Diego, six and a half now in

154
00:07:29.560 --> 00:07:30.680
<v Speaker 2>front of San Francisco.

155
00:07:31.480 --> 00:07:35.439
<v Speaker 8>So show Haltani yesterday pitching today, He's just going to

156
00:07:35.560 --> 00:07:39.120
<v Speaker 8>hit show Hey through the fastest pitch of his career yesterday,

157
00:07:39.120 --> 00:07:42.360
<v Speaker 8>one hundred and one point seven miles per hour. Dave

158
00:07:42.439 --> 00:07:44.680
<v Speaker 8>Roberts a short time ago was asked how show Hey

159
00:07:44.800 --> 00:07:46.959
<v Speaker 8>is feeling today. He said he hasn't talked to him yet,

160
00:07:47.000 --> 00:07:49.639
<v Speaker 8>but he did talk to the trainers and he said

161
00:07:49.680 --> 00:07:51.480
<v Speaker 8>he came out of it all right, but they're going

162
00:07:51.519 --> 00:07:54.839
<v Speaker 8>to wait and see as far as when his next

163
00:07:54.839 --> 00:07:55.319
<v Speaker 8>start is.

164
00:07:55.480 --> 00:07:58.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's going to be I think amazing. Everybody kind

165
00:07:58.800 --> 00:08:01.959
<v Speaker 2>of anticipates exactly what's going to be happening. I thought

166
00:08:01.959 --> 00:08:04.680
<v Speaker 2>his transition yesterday because I mean comment when I saw

167
00:08:04.759 --> 00:08:06.920
<v Speaker 2>him get his eight warm up pitches as he took

168
00:08:06.959 --> 00:08:09.040
<v Speaker 2>the mound in the bottom of the first inning, he

169
00:08:09.120 --> 00:08:11.439
<v Speaker 2>only threw three strikes, did not throw strike with a

170
00:08:11.480 --> 00:08:15.199
<v Speaker 2>breaking bowl, had the inconsistency with the curve bull and

171
00:08:15.240 --> 00:08:17.240
<v Speaker 2>the slider in the first inning, even though he got

172
00:08:17.240 --> 00:08:19.160
<v Speaker 2>the big double play gun out of it, only one

173
00:08:19.519 --> 00:08:22.120
<v Speaker 2>base hit in that opening frame. Second inning, he was

174
00:08:22.199 --> 00:08:25.959
<v Speaker 2>a different guy. He nailed everything, including the velocity, the

175
00:08:26.040 --> 00:08:28.519
<v Speaker 2>curve bull and the slider. And we also saw a

176
00:08:28.639 --> 00:08:29.879
<v Speaker 2>very good splitter.

177
00:08:29.639 --> 00:08:32.000
<v Speaker 8>Very good, so two innings for him. That was a

178
00:08:32.039 --> 00:08:35.519
<v Speaker 8>silver lining in the game yesterday. Today, Kei Key Hernandez

179
00:08:35.559 --> 00:08:38.679
<v Speaker 8>starting at first, Miguel Rojas starting at second, both right

180
00:08:38.720 --> 00:08:41.720
<v Speaker 8>handed hitters, and Dave telling the press a short time

181
00:08:41.759 --> 00:08:44.320
<v Speaker 8>ago that he wants to get those two players, in

182
00:08:44.360 --> 00:08:48.279
<v Speaker 8>particular as many advanced as he can against left handed pitcher.

183
00:08:48.360 --> 00:08:48.559
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

184
00:08:48.559 --> 00:08:50.360
<v Speaker 2>The other part too, is that Tommy Edmund will be

185
00:08:50.440 --> 00:08:53.759
<v Speaker 2>in center field, and that's good news because that means

186
00:08:53.799 --> 00:08:57.120
<v Speaker 2>that his ankle that they have been concerned about is

187
00:08:57.200 --> 00:09:00.759
<v Speaker 2>now getting better to where he can play in center field,

188
00:09:00.840 --> 00:09:03.960
<v Speaker 2>play in the outfield. We mentioned this yesterday. We mentioned

189
00:09:04.000 --> 00:09:07.639
<v Speaker 2>it also in Denver in Colorado, they talked about a

190
00:09:07.720 --> 00:09:08.480
<v Speaker 2>huge field.

191
00:09:08.639 --> 00:09:09.080
<v Speaker 5>It is.

192
00:09:09.399 --> 00:09:12.519
<v Speaker 2>Oh, there's more square footage in the playing surface here

193
00:09:12.559 --> 00:09:15.320
<v Speaker 2>in Kansas City than even in kous Field. So it

194
00:09:15.399 --> 00:09:18.320
<v Speaker 2>helps to have two very good ankles to cover ground

195
00:09:18.320 --> 00:09:19.000
<v Speaker 2>in the outfield.

196
00:09:19.399 --> 00:09:22.679
<v Speaker 8>Today is the salute to the Negro Leagues game here

197
00:09:22.879 --> 00:09:26.279
<v Speaker 8>at Kansas City. The Dodgers will be wearing caps from

198
00:09:26.320 --> 00:09:29.759
<v Speaker 8>the Brooklyn Dodgers, while the Royals will be honoring the

199
00:09:29.840 --> 00:09:33.799
<v Speaker 8>Kansas City Monarchs and Bob Kendrick, who is the president

200
00:09:33.879 --> 00:09:36.799
<v Speaker 8>of the Negro League's Museum here in Kansas City. We

201
00:09:36.840 --> 00:09:38.799
<v Speaker 8>talked to him yesterday for quite a bit. He will

202
00:09:38.799 --> 00:09:41.320
<v Speaker 8>be on the pregame with David Vasek, and they're.

203
00:09:41.159 --> 00:09:45.519
<v Speaker 2>Talking about a brand new building in replacing the museum,

204
00:09:45.559 --> 00:09:49.440
<v Speaker 2>which is already terrific. And every ball club should go

205
00:09:49.480 --> 00:09:51.840
<v Speaker 2>through there at least once every trip.

206
00:09:51.919 --> 00:09:52.799
<v Speaker 5>That's a great trip.

207
00:09:53.240 --> 00:09:56.279
<v Speaker 8>Dodgers fifty two and thirty two, the Royals thirty nine

208
00:09:56.399 --> 00:10:00.320
<v Speaker 8>and forty four, first pitch on the way to all.

209
00:10:00.279 --> 00:10:02.960

210
00:10:03.039 --> 00:10:07.639

<v Speaker 5>Dave? Can you just describe Dave? Can you talk about

306
00:15:10.080 --> 00:15:11.080
<v Speaker 5>the pressure.

307
00:15:11.480 --> 00:15:13.679
<v Speaker 6>In the dugouts with Dave Robberts?

308
00:15:14.639 --> 00:15:18.759
<v Speaker 4>Dave, you got a bullpen game today? Is that a

309
00:15:18.759 --> 00:15:21.200
<v Speaker 4>better case scenario considering the weather right now?

310
00:15:22.080 --> 00:15:25.480
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, you know, it's a little kind of we're in

311
00:15:25.519 --> 00:15:28.720
<v Speaker 9>a holding pattern right now. Hopefully we start on time,

312
00:15:29.799 --> 00:15:34.279
<v Speaker 9>but yeah, having Lou open for us, obviously you don't

313
00:15:34.279 --> 00:15:36.840
<v Speaker 9>have to get that starter as much time before.

314
00:15:36.919 --> 00:15:37.919
<v Speaker 5>So I feel good about that.

315
00:15:38.159 --> 00:15:41.919
<v Speaker 9>And obviously Robo is going to take the bulk of

316
00:15:41.960 --> 00:15:44.080
<v Speaker 9>the game and we see where we go from there.

317
00:15:44.399 --> 00:15:46.919
<v Speaker 4>How did the conversation go with Freddy? He seemed to

318
00:15:46.960 --> 00:15:48.879
<v Speaker 4>concede after the game yesterday.

319
00:15:49.240 --> 00:15:53.240
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, no, I think that sticking with kind of the

320
00:15:53.279 --> 00:15:55.879
<v Speaker 9>plan that we have talked about and not be in

321
00:15:55.960 --> 00:15:59.960
<v Speaker 9>reactionary over a game is the best way to go

322
00:16:00.159 --> 00:16:01.960
<v Speaker 9>about it.

323
00:16:01.960 --> 00:16:04.279
<v Speaker 5>It was good to see him get on base five times.

324
00:16:04.720 --> 00:16:07.799
<v Speaker 9>Feel good, and you know, the mind the body taking

325
00:16:07.840 --> 00:16:08.559
<v Speaker 9>a couple of days.

326
00:16:08.600 --> 00:16:11.080
<v Speaker 5>I think there's only upside.

327
00:16:12.080 --> 00:16:15.399
<v Speaker 10>With the hay song kind of falling up on yesterday,

328
00:16:15.399 --> 00:16:17.559
<v Speaker 10>with Tommy being able to play the outfield, Do you

329
00:16:17.559 --> 00:16:19.720
<v Speaker 10>think that opens up more playing time for him being

330
00:16:19.759 --> 00:16:21.840
<v Speaker 10>able to play at second, like a position that he's

331
00:16:22.159 --> 00:16:23.559
<v Speaker 10>you know, more comfortable at.

332
00:16:23.720 --> 00:16:24.799
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, yeah, I do.

333
00:16:25.120 --> 00:16:27.840
<v Speaker 9>I think that, you know, as we look out, I

334
00:16:27.879 --> 00:16:32.080
<v Speaker 9>think that picking days because Tommy can now we feel

335
00:16:32.080 --> 00:16:36.600
<v Speaker 9>good about Tommy playing the outfield, giving Tail a day

336
00:16:36.679 --> 00:16:39.799
<v Speaker 9>here there, giving Andy a day here or there just

337
00:16:39.919 --> 00:16:43.559
<v Speaker 9>kind of opens things up for hay Soong. So yeah,

338
00:16:43.600 --> 00:16:44.440
<v Speaker 9>I think that's a good thing.

339
00:16:44.799 --> 00:16:47.679
<v Speaker 10>Are there things he's still kind of like adjusting to

340
00:16:47.799 --> 00:16:49.960
<v Speaker 10>at the big league level with this swing, even with

341
00:16:50.000 --> 00:16:52.279
<v Speaker 10>like this the results that he's had, but just kind

342
00:16:52.279 --> 00:16:55.000
<v Speaker 10>of like moderating his playing time some to kind of

343
00:16:55.279 --> 00:16:57.120
<v Speaker 10>allow him to keep getting acclimated up here. Is that

344
00:16:57.200 --> 00:16:58.279
<v Speaker 10>kind of part of the plan.

345
00:16:59.320 --> 00:16:59.919
<v Speaker 5>A little bit.

346
00:17:00.240 --> 00:17:03.799
<v Speaker 9>I think that he is doing everything he can to

347
00:17:03.840 --> 00:17:09.960
<v Speaker 9>stay prepared, be prepared. He studies all the information that

348
00:17:10.000 --> 00:17:14.519
<v Speaker 9>we get is translated, and so he's a very good

349
00:17:14.559 --> 00:17:19.519
<v Speaker 9>student of the game. I think that he obviously eliminated

350
00:17:19.559 --> 00:17:22.519
<v Speaker 9>the leg kick in spring training and I think that's

351
00:17:22.559 --> 00:17:23.480
<v Speaker 9>been beneficial.

352
00:17:24.319 --> 00:17:25.640
<v Speaker 5>He's handling velocity.

353
00:17:26.880 --> 00:17:30.279
<v Speaker 9>Certainly at times he can be susceptible to spin down below.

354
00:17:30.319 --> 00:17:32.880
<v Speaker 9>But I think even with that, he does a good

355
00:17:32.960 --> 00:17:35.400
<v Speaker 9>job adjusting when pictures are trying to do that to him.

356
00:17:35.720 --> 00:17:39.839
<v Speaker 9>So I see adjustments in within in at bat. So,

357
00:17:39.960 --> 00:17:41.440
<v Speaker 9>like I said, you know, a couple of weeks ago,

358
00:17:41.480 --> 00:17:44.920
<v Speaker 9>he's earning more opportunities, opportunities, and he's going to continue

359
00:17:44.960 --> 00:17:45.359
<v Speaker 9>to get.

360
00:17:45.240 --> 00:17:48.640
<v Speaker 7>Him He just started once and last week ago.

361
00:17:48.759 --> 00:17:51.799
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, earning the opportunities, but is it hard to find them?

362
00:17:52.000 --> 00:17:52.079
<v Speaker 6>No?

363
00:17:52.400 --> 00:17:54.720
<v Speaker 9>No, we had a bunch of lefties too, so I

364
00:17:54.759 --> 00:17:57.559
<v Speaker 9>think that we also got to dig a little bit

365
00:17:57.599 --> 00:18:02.400
<v Speaker 9>into kind of our roster, who's on the roster, who's

366
00:18:02.480 --> 00:18:07.079
<v Speaker 9>we're facing. So I think I think the one week snapshot,

367
00:18:07.119 --> 00:18:07.920
<v Speaker 9>I don't think it's fair.

368
00:18:08.160 --> 00:18:10.880
<v Speaker 7>All Right, There's a manager, Dave Roberts, talking about his

369
00:18:11.039 --> 00:18:14.720
<v Speaker 7>pitching staff, talking about Shoyotani and of course the plan

370
00:18:14.799 --> 00:18:18.440
<v Speaker 7>for today with Justin Robleski scheduled to be the bulk

371
00:18:18.480 --> 00:18:21.680
<v Speaker 7>inning guy for the Dodgers. Once this game gets underway again,

372
00:18:21.720 --> 00:18:23.720
<v Speaker 7>it will not start on time from Coffin Stadium and

373
00:18:23.759 --> 00:18:27.039
<v Speaker 7>Kansas City a rain delay there the weather a factor

374
00:18:27.079 --> 00:18:29.759
<v Speaker 7>today on this Sunday, but they expect it to blow through.

375
00:18:30.039 --> 00:18:33.000
<v Speaker 7>At what point we'll first pitch happen. We'll keep you updated,

376
00:18:33.039 --> 00:18:36.599
<v Speaker 7>but it will not start as scheduled at eleven ten

377
00:18:36.799 --> 00:18:39.440
<v Speaker 7>am Pacific. But we continue here on wrong with Casino

378
00:18:39.440 --> 00:18:41.920
<v Speaker 7>Dodgers on deck. We will check back in with David Veasse.

379
00:18:42.240 --> 00:18:44.839
<v Speaker 7>We're leading you up to Dodgers and Royals on this Sunday.

380
00:18:44.920 --> 00:18:46.839
<v Speaker 1>Thanks for being with us. I'm Tim kase Is the

381
00:18:46.839 --> 00:18:49.160
<v Speaker 1>world champion Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.

382
00:18:51.880 --> 00:18:56.599
<v Speaker 6>As we were saying, yes, is Marongo Casino Dodgers on

383
00:18:56.799 --> 00:19:00.680
<v Speaker 6>deck on the official home of LA Dodgers' Baseball.

384
00:19:02.200 --> 00:19:06.240
<v Speaker 7>It's the Dodgers and the Royals from Kansas City. First

385
00:19:06.279 --> 00:19:09.799
<v Speaker 7>pitch scheduled for eleven ten am Pacific, but that will

386
00:19:09.839 --> 00:19:13.880
<v Speaker 7>not happen. A weather delay in Kansas City has already

387
00:19:13.880 --> 00:19:17.720
<v Speaker 7>been announced rain and in the area. They have said

388
00:19:17.759 --> 00:19:20.079
<v Speaker 7>that they are gonna wait to get this game underway,

389
00:19:20.119 --> 00:19:23.640
<v Speaker 7>wait for this weather system to blow through Kansas City

390
00:19:23.839 --> 00:19:26.480
<v Speaker 7>before they get this final game of the series underway.

391
00:19:26.519 --> 00:19:30.599
<v Speaker 7>From Kaufman Stadium. Lou Trevino is the opener. Justin Robleski.

392
00:19:30.599 --> 00:19:33.119
<v Speaker 7>As you heard Dave Roberts allude to will take down

393
00:19:33.119 --> 00:19:35.880
<v Speaker 7>a bulk of the Indians. Chris Bubach will go for

394
00:19:35.960 --> 00:19:38.359
<v Speaker 7>the Royals. We'll break down this pitching matchup coming up.

395
00:19:38.400 --> 00:19:43.920
<v Speaker 6>But first, joining Tim Kats on Dodgers on deck.

396
00:19:43.759 --> 00:19:45.519
<v Speaker 4>I accept everybody for who they are.

397
00:19:45.640 --> 00:19:48.079
<v Speaker 6>This is Dodger insider.

398
00:19:47.960 --> 00:19:52.279
<v Speaker 7>David d now joins us from Kansas City. David, it's

399
00:19:52.359 --> 00:19:55.400
<v Speaker 7>the rubber game of this three game set. Freddie Freeman

400
00:19:55.839 --> 00:19:58.000
<v Speaker 7>not in the line of today.

401
00:19:58.880 --> 00:20:02.559
<v Speaker 4>No, and that's something to Dave Roberts was considering yesterday

402
00:20:02.680 --> 00:20:05.240
<v Speaker 4>because they're facing one of the best left handers in

403
00:20:05.319 --> 00:20:08.680
<v Speaker 4>the American League today. Freddie was struggling up until the

404
00:20:08.759 --> 00:20:12.079
<v Speaker 4>point of yesterday's game, where he was able to collect

405
00:20:12.119 --> 00:20:16.480
<v Speaker 4>three hits beyond base five times, including hitting his first

406
00:20:16.480 --> 00:20:20.440
<v Speaker 4>home run since May eleventh back in Arizona. I had

407
00:20:20.440 --> 00:20:22.559
<v Speaker 4>a chance to catch up with Freddy after the game

408
00:20:22.640 --> 00:20:25.440
<v Speaker 4>yesterday and we talked about him breaking out and also

409
00:20:25.519 --> 00:20:28.119
<v Speaker 4>the possibility of getting today off.

410
00:20:28.720 --> 00:20:32.119
<v Speaker 11>I've been grinding obviously this whole months. To finally see

411
00:20:32.119 --> 00:20:34.680
<v Speaker 11>some results after all the extra work and hard work

412
00:20:34.680 --> 00:20:37.640
<v Speaker 11>that's been going into to my swing, it's definitely nice.

413
00:20:37.680 --> 00:20:41.079
<v Speaker 11>So hopefully we can build off this Unfortunately this game

414
00:20:41.200 --> 00:20:44.319
<v Speaker 11>is not a guaranteed game, but at least to step

415
00:20:44.359 --> 00:20:44.920
<v Speaker 11>in the right direction.

416
00:20:45.359 --> 00:20:47.319
<v Speaker 4>Dave said that maybe it might be good for you

417
00:20:47.400 --> 00:20:49.759
<v Speaker 4>to take a day off, but after today, do you

418
00:20:49.759 --> 00:20:52.039
<v Speaker 4>feel like you convinced him that's out of the equation on.

419
00:20:52.160 --> 00:20:54.480
<v Speaker 11>No, we have a meeting before the game that I

420
00:20:54.599 --> 00:20:57.240
<v Speaker 11>was having tomorrow off, but we'll see.

421
00:20:57.640 --> 00:20:59.359
<v Speaker 1>I would assume it's still stick to the.

422
00:20:59.319 --> 00:21:01.759
<v Speaker 11>Plan and good a day and then have another day off,

423
00:21:01.759 --> 00:21:03.799
<v Speaker 11>and then two days in a row. It could be

424
00:21:03.839 --> 00:21:05.839
<v Speaker 11>good just for the overall body, and then you know,

425
00:21:05.880 --> 00:21:10.519
<v Speaker 11>head into the last couple weeks of the first half fresh.

426
00:21:10.039 --> 00:21:12.640
<v Speaker 4>In this stretch, it seemed like you were already had

427
00:21:12.640 --> 00:21:13.480
<v Speaker 4>two strikes on you.

428
00:21:13.519 --> 00:21:15.400
<v Speaker 11>Today you were ahead and all the accounts. Was that

429
00:21:15.599 --> 00:21:18.720
<v Speaker 11>important to the equation? It was, That's not what I

430
00:21:18.759 --> 00:21:20.039
<v Speaker 11>was doing. I was just trying to get my foot

431
00:21:20.039 --> 00:21:21.519
<v Speaker 11>down a lot sooner than I have been. It felt

432
00:21:21.559 --> 00:21:23.160
<v Speaker 11>like my timing has been a little off, a little

433
00:21:23.200 --> 00:21:25.359
<v Speaker 11>late and started so that was the only thing I

434
00:21:25.400 --> 00:21:28.000
<v Speaker 11>was trying to do today and some results happened. So

435
00:21:28.920 --> 00:21:31.839
<v Speaker 11>if it's Tuesday, hopefully we can carry it over.

436
00:21:32.519 --> 00:21:35.079
<v Speaker 4>It will be Tuesday against the White Sox when Freddy's

437
00:21:35.119 --> 00:21:37.559
<v Speaker 4>back in the starting lineup, and you heard him say

438
00:21:37.880 --> 00:21:40.480
<v Speaker 4>it was the timing with his front foot. And I'm

439
00:21:40.519 --> 00:21:43.119
<v Speaker 4>sure you've heard this before. Tim hitters talk about having

440
00:21:43.160 --> 00:21:45.839
<v Speaker 4>a strong front foot, having your foot down when you're

441
00:21:45.880 --> 00:21:49.000
<v Speaker 4>ready to swing, and that's a big timing mechanism. Don't

442
00:21:49.000 --> 00:21:53.000
<v Speaker 4>forget Freddie Freeman's front foot is his right foot, which

443
00:21:53.000 --> 00:21:55.599
<v Speaker 4>he had surgery on that right ankle, So I'm sure

444
00:21:55.880 --> 00:21:58.160
<v Speaker 4>you know time to time, and this one was a

445
00:21:58.200 --> 00:22:01.759
<v Speaker 4>longer extended stretch right ankle may have been affecting the

446
00:22:01.799 --> 00:22:03.680
<v Speaker 4>timing of getting that front foot down.

447
00:22:03.920 --> 00:22:05.599
<v Speaker 7>David is brought to by the twenty twenty five to

448
00:22:05.640 --> 00:22:08.359
<v Speaker 7>four one to fifty from California's best selling truck brand.

449
00:22:08.599 --> 00:22:10.680
<v Speaker 7>It's time to see Ford in a new light, take

450
00:22:10.720 --> 00:22:14.599
<v Speaker 7>advantage of employee pricing through the end of June. Tommy

451
00:22:14.720 --> 00:22:17.519
<v Speaker 7>Edmund looking at the lineup today, David not at second base,

452
00:22:17.599 --> 00:22:19.000
<v Speaker 7>but he's back in center field.

453
00:22:19.799 --> 00:22:22.880
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I guess right ankles are contagious around the Dodgers.

454
00:22:22.960 --> 00:22:26.559
<v Speaker 4>But Tommy Edmund was on the il last year before

455
00:22:26.599 --> 00:22:29.119
<v Speaker 4>they acquired him, and after they acquired him, still was

456
00:22:29.759 --> 00:22:32.920
<v Speaker 4>kind of rehabilitating that right ankle that he injured. On

457
00:22:32.960 --> 00:22:36.720
<v Speaker 4>a rehab assignment last year with the Cardinals, and it

458
00:22:36.880 --> 00:22:40.279
<v Speaker 4>flared up this season when he was running from second

459
00:22:40.279 --> 00:22:42.519
<v Speaker 4>to third in the second home stand of the year,

460
00:22:42.960 --> 00:22:45.440
<v Speaker 4>And that's part of the reason why Tommy Edmund's been

461
00:22:45.480 --> 00:22:49.160
<v Speaker 4>relegated to second base. Him being in center field, Edmund

462
00:22:49.160 --> 00:22:53.079
<v Speaker 4>told me after the game yesterday, is a great sign

463
00:22:53.319 --> 00:22:56.960
<v Speaker 4>because his right ankle is fully or as close to

464
00:22:57.759 --> 00:23:00.400
<v Speaker 4>fully healthy to be able to move around around and

465
00:23:00.440 --> 00:23:03.759
<v Speaker 4>play second base and play center field. So that's a

466
00:23:03.759 --> 00:23:07.440
<v Speaker 4>great sign for the Dodgers because Tommy Edmond's value is

467
00:23:07.480 --> 00:23:11.680
<v Speaker 4>being versatile and being an elite defender at second base, shortstop,

468
00:23:11.720 --> 00:23:14.559
<v Speaker 4>in center field. So him being able to move off

469
00:23:14.599 --> 00:23:18.359
<v Speaker 4>a second base allows the Dodgers to be able to

470
00:23:18.400 --> 00:23:22.240
<v Speaker 4>move Hay Sung Kim against righty's Rojas today against lefties,

471
00:23:22.640 --> 00:23:24.799
<v Speaker 4>and just be able to move the pieces and get

472
00:23:24.880 --> 00:23:28.640
<v Speaker 4>so many of their talented players in games more often

473
00:23:28.680 --> 00:23:28.960
<v Speaker 4>than not.

474
00:23:29.480 --> 00:23:31.400
<v Speaker 7>All right, David Gray, stuffil check back here with you

<v Speaker 7>of the Indians. Chris Bubach will go for the Royals.

487
00:24:11.400 --> 00:24:13.279
<v Speaker 7>He was one of the worst pitchers in baseball three

488
00:24:13.359 --> 00:24:16.319
<v Speaker 7>years ago. He has reinvented himself into one of the

489
00:24:16.359 --> 00:24:19.599
<v Speaker 7>best pitchers in the American League, with an ERA in

00:24:57.359 --> 00:24:58.599
<v Speaker 1>Feels like yesterday.

502
00:24:59.039 --> 00:25:03.599
<v Speaker 7>Fernando allen Zuela taking on the Saint Louis Cardinals.

503
00:25:04.039 --> 00:25:07.039
<v Speaker 1>It was a night Dodger fans will always remember.

504
00:25:07.720 --> 00:25:10.960
<v Speaker 12>Fernando Ready in the strike two pitch, his head back

505

510
00:25:34.559 --> 00:25:39.119
<v Speaker 7>Fernando Valenzuela with the Noah hitter. He was pitching a

511
00:25:39.200 --> 00:25:42.880
<v Speaker 7>complete game that day, allowing no hits only three walks.

512
00:25:42.920 --> 00:25:46.559
<v Speaker 7>He struck out seven against the Saint Louis Cardinals. The

513
00:25:46.599 --> 00:25:50.599
<v Speaker 7>game ended with the double play. Pedro Guerrero, a former teammate,

514

<v Speaker 7>grounded the ball to second base Juan Samuel Field that

515
00:25:53.839 --> 00:25:57.000
<v Speaker 7>stepped on the bag and forced out Willie McGee, then

<v Speaker 7>the world champion Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.

<v Speaker 6>This is Marongo Casino Dodgers on Deck on your home

529
00:26:45.920 --> 00:26:47.079
<v Speaker 6>for the Blue all.

530
00:26:47.079 --> 00:26:52.279
<v Speaker 7>Season Low Dodgers wrapping up this road trip and Kansas

531
00:26:52.279 --> 00:26:55.799
<v Speaker 7>City on this Sunday. First pitch is being delayed because

532
00:26:55.839 --> 00:26:59.519
<v Speaker 7>of rain in Kansas City. Whether a factor today was

533
00:26:59.559 --> 00:27:01.319
<v Speaker 7>not a fact after in the first two games of

534
00:27:01.359 --> 00:27:04.559
<v Speaker 7>this series at Kaufman Stadium. But they're going to delay

535
00:27:04.559 --> 00:27:06.720
<v Speaker 7>the start just to make sure that weather system blows

536
00:27:06.759 --> 00:27:10.720
<v Speaker 7>through and this game can get underway in kids entirety.

537
00:27:10.799 --> 00:27:13.599
<v Speaker 7>Luke Trevino the opener, Justin Rubuski will take down a

538
00:27:13.640 --> 00:27:16.200
<v Speaker 7>bulk of the innings for the Dodgers. Chris Bubach, we'll

539
00:27:16.240 --> 00:27:19.680
<v Speaker 7>go for the Royals first pitch schedule for eleven to ten,

540
00:27:19.759 --> 00:27:22.519
<v Speaker 7>but again we will start in a rain delay.

541
00:27:22.279 --> 00:27:27.480
<v Speaker 6>First and now joined by David Basse. Here's La Dodgers

542
00:27:27.640 --> 00:27:32.400
<v Speaker 6>broadcastre and World Series champion Dodger Rick Monday.

543
00:27:32.920 --> 00:27:35.680
<v Speaker 4>All right, Rick, you believed in Freddie Freeman. He told

544
00:27:35.759 --> 00:27:38.440
<v Speaker 4>us before the game yesterday that even though he was

545
00:27:38.519 --> 00:27:41.599
<v Speaker 4>hit lists, he was starting to show signs of coming

546
00:27:41.599 --> 00:27:44.000
<v Speaker 4>out of this slump. And then, well, ah, yesterday a

547
00:27:44.039 --> 00:27:44.519
<v Speaker 4>big day.

548
00:27:44.640 --> 00:27:46.720
<v Speaker 2>I got a phone call from a friend of mine

549
00:27:46.759 --> 00:27:48.559
<v Speaker 2>last night after the ball games, got back in the

550
00:27:48.559 --> 00:27:50.480
<v Speaker 2>hotel and he goes, hey, did you buy a lottery ticket?

551
00:27:50.519 --> 00:27:51.079
<v Speaker 5>I would know why.

552
00:27:51.079 --> 00:27:53.640
<v Speaker 2>He says, well, you predicted Freeman who was going to

553
00:27:53.680 --> 00:27:56.200
<v Speaker 2>get some hints, and he got three, including the home run.

554
00:27:56.559 --> 00:27:58.880
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, that was kind of a fun and for

555
00:27:58.960 --> 00:28:01.839
<v Speaker 2>Freddy Freeman, the first home run since the eleventh of May.

556
00:28:02.839 --> 00:28:05.880
<v Speaker 2>Didn't really talk to him today, but we were on

557
00:28:05.920 --> 00:28:07.720
<v Speaker 2>the same bus coming to the ballpark and he's not

558
00:28:07.759 --> 00:28:11.559
<v Speaker 2>in the lineup. I think sometimes Roberts is kind of

559
00:28:11.599 --> 00:28:14.279
<v Speaker 2>agreeing that you have to use a bulldozer to hook

560
00:28:14.359 --> 00:28:16.240
<v Speaker 2>up to a Freddie Freeman to keep him out of

561
00:28:16.240 --> 00:28:20.759
<v Speaker 2>the lineup. But something they talked about and not in

562
00:28:20.799 --> 00:28:23.160
<v Speaker 2>the lineup today is a little bit different lineup with

563
00:28:22.920 --> 00:28:26.000
<v Speaker 2>the lefty going for the Royals. Dodgers of course trying

564
00:28:26.039 --> 00:28:28.240
<v Speaker 2>to make it two out of three, and David, you

565
00:28:28.359 --> 00:28:31.599
<v Speaker 2>understand very well the Dodgers like to have happy flights,

566
00:28:31.680 --> 00:28:32.880
<v Speaker 2>especially going home.

567
00:28:32.799 --> 00:28:34.559
<v Speaker 4>No doubt, and that would be a great road trip

568
00:28:34.599 --> 00:28:37.279
<v Speaker 4>to win five games out of six in Denver and Kansas.

569
00:28:37.400 --> 00:28:39.599
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to ask you a question because you have

570
00:28:39.720 --> 00:28:44.400
<v Speaker 2>been doing dual roles here in Kansas City, both on

571
00:28:44.440 --> 00:28:46.839
<v Speaker 2>the radio side and that you've been doing television, and

572
00:28:46.920 --> 00:28:48.880
<v Speaker 2>I bring that up on the TV because you are

573
00:28:48.880 --> 00:28:49.519
<v Speaker 2>at the far.

574
00:28:49.640 --> 00:28:50.920
<v Speaker 5>End of the dugout.

575
00:28:51.200 --> 00:28:54.039
<v Speaker 2>What's it like down there because normally you're kind of

576
00:28:54.079 --> 00:28:57.480
<v Speaker 2>perched up in the with the media in seeing it.

577
00:28:57.480 --> 00:29:00.000
<v Speaker 2>It's a different game down there. I'd want your opinion

578
00:29:00.160 --> 00:29:03.279
<v Speaker 2>on something I say all the time. The closer you

579
00:29:03.319 --> 00:29:07.400
<v Speaker 2>get to the field, even as a fan, you understand

580
00:29:07.720 --> 00:29:11.559
<v Speaker 2>the speed of this game. When you're sitting very comfortably

581
00:29:11.720 --> 00:29:14.599
<v Speaker 2>far away, it looks like maybe it's in slow motion,

582
00:29:15.079 --> 00:29:17.160
<v Speaker 2>but it's closer you get, and you can't get any

583
00:29:17.200 --> 00:29:19.079
<v Speaker 2>closer than what you are in the game down there.

584
00:29:19.480 --> 00:29:21.759
<v Speaker 5>This game is it happens fast. Yeah.

585
00:29:21.799 --> 00:29:24.279
<v Speaker 4>And the best example of that, Rick, is the first

586
00:29:24.319 --> 00:29:27.640
<v Speaker 4>game of this series. MIKEL. Garcia, the third baseman for

587
00:29:27.720 --> 00:29:30.680
<v Speaker 4>the Royals, has been playing great defense there and robbing

588
00:29:30.720 --> 00:29:34.759
<v Speaker 4>a lot of Dodger hints. And when Taoscar Hernandez was

589
00:29:34.839 --> 00:29:37.160
<v Speaker 4>robbed in the first game of this series one hundred

590
00:29:37.200 --> 00:29:39.759
<v Speaker 4>and eleven miles an hour off the bat, I mean,

591
00:29:40.240 --> 00:29:43.759
<v Speaker 4>you have a greater appreciation for just how quick catlike

592
00:29:43.839 --> 00:29:45.799
<v Speaker 4>quickness you have to have at what they call the

593
00:29:45.799 --> 00:29:46.400
<v Speaker 4>hot corner.

594
00:29:46.480 --> 00:29:50.079
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. And then sometimes if you're the guy that hit

595
00:29:50.119 --> 00:29:51.880
<v Speaker 2>the ball, then sometimes you get back to the dugout

596
00:29:51.880 --> 00:29:53.960
<v Speaker 2>and you yell at the guy, especially if you know him,

597
00:29:54.440 --> 00:29:56.400
<v Speaker 2>and say, hey, what the heck you doing? There are

598
00:29:56.440 --> 00:29:58.880
<v Speaker 2>sometimes that you just feel like you have buzzard luck.

599
00:29:59.000 --> 00:30:00.319
<v Speaker 2>You know, nothing really works for you.

600
00:30:00.559 --> 00:30:03.720
<v Speaker 4>Another appreciation, Rick, And you experienced this in a more

601
00:30:03.720 --> 00:30:07.680
<v Speaker 4>extreme way playing in these stadiums with AstroTurf. But the

602
00:30:07.720 --> 00:30:11.240
<v Speaker 4>first two games of this series, I mean it's eighty

603
00:30:11.319 --> 00:30:14.599
<v Speaker 4>seven ninety degrees up here and in the stands, but

604
00:30:14.759 --> 00:30:17.759
<v Speaker 4>on the field you can add at least eight degrees

605
00:30:17.799 --> 00:30:18.559
<v Speaker 4>to the temperature.

606
00:30:18.680 --> 00:30:20.519
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and you're gonna have to hydrate all the guy's

607
00:30:20.559 --> 00:30:23.480
<v Speaker 2>gonna have to hydrate today because the temperature is going

608
00:30:23.519 --> 00:30:26.240
<v Speaker 2>to be and we're gonna have heat index tonight and

609
00:30:26.480 --> 00:30:29.680
<v Speaker 2>the humidity on top because it rained earlier this morning.

610
00:30:29.839 --> 00:30:32.240
<v Speaker 2>In fact, when the ball club arrived, the infield was

611
00:30:32.279 --> 00:30:34.799
<v Speaker 2>still covered with the tark So yeah, it's going to

612
00:30:34.839 --> 00:30:37.880
<v Speaker 2>be steamy afternoon. Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate.

613
00:30:38.160 --> 00:30:40.920
<v Speaker 4>Tommy Edmonds in center field today, Ricky told me after

614
00:30:40.960 --> 00:30:44.359
<v Speaker 4>the game yesterday, this is about his right ankle feeling

615
00:30:44.440 --> 00:30:46.920
<v Speaker 4>much better for him to play the outfield.

616
00:30:46.440 --> 00:30:48.880
<v Speaker 2>And it's a perfect time because it allows Dave robertson

617
00:30:48.920 --> 00:30:51.000
<v Speaker 2>the ball club to have more dimension, is what they're

618
00:30:51.000 --> 00:30:54.200
<v Speaker 2>going to be doing, and moving Edmund to the center field,

619
00:30:54.240 --> 00:30:57.400
<v Speaker 2>it gives you another option to have him moving around

620
00:30:58.119 --> 00:31:00.880
<v Speaker 2>Kim at second base and it's going to be at

621
00:31:00.880 --> 00:31:03.680
<v Speaker 2>first base today. It just gives you the depth. And

622
00:31:03.720 --> 00:31:06.200
<v Speaker 2>that's one of the strong points the Dodgers coming off

623
00:31:06.279 --> 00:31:10.400
<v Speaker 2>the bench, being able to really manipulate defensively different players

624
00:31:10.440 --> 00:31:11.240
<v Speaker 2>in different spots.

625
00:31:11.319 --> 00:31:14.200
<v Speaker 4>And Dave Roberts conceded after the game yesterday as well,

626
00:31:14.240 --> 00:31:16.680
<v Speaker 4>this is a huge outfield and when you have ta

627
00:31:16.759 --> 00:31:20.599
<v Speaker 4>Oscar Hernandez and Michael Conforto in the corners, they're not

628
00:31:20.680 --> 00:31:21.359
<v Speaker 4>fleet a foot.

629
00:31:21.480 --> 00:31:24.359
<v Speaker 2>In fact, here's a bit of information for you. Everybody

630
00:31:24.400 --> 00:31:27.759
<v Speaker 2>talks about how large Coors Field is in Denver, and

631
00:31:28.160 --> 00:31:31.119
<v Speaker 2>we just left there. There's more square footage on the

632
00:31:31.119 --> 00:31:34.920
<v Speaker 2>playing surface here in Kansas City than in Denver, Colorado.

633
00:31:35.240 --> 00:31:36.640
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it kind of feels that way.

634
00:31:36.720 --> 00:31:38.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, I mean it is a big, big ballpark,

635
00:31:39.240 --> 00:31:41.359
<v Speaker 2>and there's a lot of ground to cover, and including

636
00:31:41.400 --> 00:31:45.680
<v Speaker 2>some foul territory, not foul territory immediately the lascow five

637
00:31:45.839 --> 00:31:48.559
<v Speaker 2>six feet down the line, but getting to that line,

638
00:31:48.559 --> 00:31:50.799
<v Speaker 2>there's a lot of area to kind of roam around.

639
00:31:51.000 --> 00:31:53.680
<v Speaker 4>All right, Rick, you'll roam around here in the broadcast booth.

640
00:31:53.720 --> 00:31:55.720
<v Speaker 2>Hey, how about a happy flight back to LA.

641
00:31:55.680 --> 00:31:57.920
<v Speaker 4>That would be great. I feel it coming. We'll send

<v Speaker 1>That is not gonna happen.

647
00:32:09.720 --> 00:32:11.680
<v Speaker 7>As the guys were just talking about the weather there,

648
00:32:11.759 --> 00:32:14.000
<v Speaker 7>it is played a factor. Tarm's still on the field.

649

00:34:30.920 --> 00:34:33.840
<v Speaker 4>man that is keeping the voices alive of the Negro Leagues.

695
00:34:33.840 --> 00:34:36.800
<v Speaker 4>And he is the president of the Negro League Museum.

696
00:34:37.000 --> 00:34:39.719
<v Speaker 4>He is the best dressed man in Kansas City. That's

697
00:34:39.719 --> 00:34:41.920
<v Speaker 4>the one and only Bob Kendrick. Bob, thanks a lot

698
00:34:41.960 --> 00:34:42.599
<v Speaker 4>for joining us.

699
00:34:42.679 --> 00:34:44.400
<v Speaker 13>Oh Dave, it's great to see you, man, Thanks so

700
00:34:44.440 --> 00:34:45.519
<v Speaker 13>much for having me on the show.

701
00:34:45.840 --> 00:34:49.679
<v Speaker 4>Well, the franchise of Jackie Robinson, Roy Campanella, Don Newcomb,

702
00:34:49.800 --> 00:34:52.360
<v Speaker 4>just to name a few. I mean, it is special

703
00:34:52.480 --> 00:34:54.760
<v Speaker 4>to come to Kansas City and see the museum.

704
00:34:55.079 --> 00:34:58.559
<v Speaker 13>Well, and there's a bridge between the two cities because

705
00:34:58.599 --> 00:35:01.880
<v Speaker 13>a lot of people don't know they did. Jackie Robinson's

706
00:35:01.920 --> 00:35:05.719
<v Speaker 13>illustrious professional baseball career began right here in Kansas City

707
00:35:05.880 --> 00:35:08.719
<v Speaker 13>with the great Kansas City Monarchs in nineteen forty five

708
00:35:08.840 --> 00:35:09.800
<v Speaker 13>in the Negro Leagues.

709
00:35:10.119 --> 00:35:12.039
<v Speaker 3>Now, he was only here for five months, but.

710
00:35:12.039 --> 00:35:13.679
<v Speaker 13>As I tell people, the five months he's spent in

711
00:35:13.719 --> 00:35:16.280
<v Speaker 13>Kansas City, he fell in love with everything that Kansas

712
00:35:16.320 --> 00:35:18.920
<v Speaker 13>City is famous for barbecue and jazz.

713
00:35:19.960 --> 00:35:20.480
<v Speaker 8>I love that.

714
00:35:20.639 --> 00:35:23.800
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, Jackie was a big man of jazz and baseball

715
00:35:23.840 --> 00:35:27.679
<v Speaker 4>and all that. And Roy Campanella three time MVP. He

716
00:35:27.880 --> 00:35:29.920
<v Speaker 4>was a big player in the negro Leagues as well.

717
00:35:30.039 --> 00:35:30.239
<v Speaker 3>Well.

718
00:35:30.320 --> 00:35:33.039
<v Speaker 13>Noah and the Dodgers had a litany of great stars

719
00:35:33.079 --> 00:35:35.480
<v Speaker 13>that came out of the negro Leagues. Camp He joined

720
00:35:35.519 --> 00:35:39.599
<v Speaker 13>the team in the negro Leagues called the Baltimore Elite Giants.

721
00:35:39.920 --> 00:35:43.840
<v Speaker 13>Now it's spelled Elite, but it's pronounced elite because you

722
00:35:43.920 --> 00:35:46.400
<v Speaker 13>make those negro leaguers mad if you call him the

723
00:35:46.480 --> 00:35:50.719
<v Speaker 13>Elite Giants. Well, Campy joins the elites as a fifteen

724
00:35:50.840 --> 00:35:51.719
<v Speaker 13>year old catcher.

725
00:35:52.079 --> 00:35:56.679
<v Speaker 3>Can you believe a fifteen year old kid catching professionally.

726
00:35:56.000 --> 00:35:58.039
<v Speaker 13>In the negro Leagues? But as I tell my guests,

727
00:35:58.400 --> 00:36:01.800
<v Speaker 13>he was not your typical fifteen year old. He was

728
00:36:01.840 --> 00:36:05.440
<v Speaker 13>a fifteen year old man style, but he was fifteen nevertheless,

729
00:36:05.639 --> 00:36:09.119
<v Speaker 13>and the great Raleigh biss MACKI took him under his

730
00:36:09.199 --> 00:36:12.199
<v Speaker 13>wing and taught him the art of catching. And I

731
00:36:12.199 --> 00:36:15.159
<v Speaker 13>don't have to tell Dodger fans Roy Campanella will become

732
00:36:15.199 --> 00:36:18.320
<v Speaker 13>a three time MVP with the Brooklyn Dodgers before a

733
00:36:18.400 --> 00:36:21.639
<v Speaker 13>tragic car accident left him paralyzed and cut short what

734
00:36:21.719 --> 00:36:22.920
<v Speaker 13>was still a Hall of Fame career.

735
00:36:23.239 --> 00:36:25.639
<v Speaker 4>When we come to the Negro League Museum and you

736
00:36:25.760 --> 00:36:29.840
<v Speaker 4>tell the stories of the negro Leagues, are you mesmerized

737
00:36:29.840 --> 00:36:31.719
<v Speaker 4>as much as we are, even though you've told the

738
00:36:31.760 --> 00:36:32.800
<v Speaker 4>stories many times?

739
00:36:32.920 --> 00:36:33.079
<v Speaker 6>Oh?

740
00:36:33.119 --> 00:36:35.440
<v Speaker 3>Man, this never just old for me. It doesn't.

741
00:36:35.480 --> 00:36:38.239
<v Speaker 13>And every time I get a young athlete of any

742
00:36:38.239 --> 00:36:42.400
<v Speaker 13>sports discipline, but particularly my young Major League Baseball players,

743
00:36:43.039 --> 00:36:46.280
<v Speaker 13>it just fills me with great joy to walk them

744
00:36:46.320 --> 00:36:49.400
<v Speaker 13>through that museum, to share the stories, many of these

745
00:36:49.440 --> 00:36:52.760
<v Speaker 13>stories that the lay great Buck O'Neil and other legendary

746
00:36:52.800 --> 00:36:55.360
<v Speaker 13>negro leaguers shared with me, And in doing so, I

747
00:36:55.400 --> 00:36:57.960
<v Speaker 13>feel like I'm keeping them alive in my mind and

748
00:36:58.000 --> 00:36:58.639
<v Speaker 13>in my heart.

749
00:36:58.960 --> 00:37:01.480
<v Speaker 3>But the thing that I yeah, the threat that they.

750
00:37:01.400 --> 00:37:05.280
<v Speaker 13>Have with those who played in the negro Leagues israel

751
00:37:05.320 --> 00:37:07.960
<v Speaker 13>simple love of the game. You play this game because

752
00:37:07.960 --> 00:37:10.360
<v Speaker 13>you love it. And I know sometimes as fans we

753
00:37:10.360 --> 00:37:13.079
<v Speaker 13>can get a little fickle because we equate everything to money,

754
00:37:13.239 --> 00:37:15.679
<v Speaker 13>and so these guys are afforded an opportunity to make

755
00:37:15.679 --> 00:37:17.679
<v Speaker 13>a great living, but.

756
00:37:17.639 --> 00:37:18.800
<v Speaker 3>It's still about love of the game.

757
00:37:19.000 --> 00:37:22.079
<v Speaker 13>They are still playing a game that they played for free,

758
00:37:22.440 --> 00:37:25.039
<v Speaker 13>and if they had to play it for free, they

759
00:37:25.079 --> 00:37:27.559
<v Speaker 13>would still play it for free. But as I remind them,

760
00:37:27.599 --> 00:37:30.119
<v Speaker 13>you will never see a greater example of love of

761
00:37:30.119 --> 00:37:31.719
<v Speaker 13>the game than you do when you walk through the

762
00:37:31.719 --> 00:37:35.119
<v Speaker 13>Negro League's Baseball Museum. They had to love it in

763
00:37:35.280 --> 00:37:37.800
<v Speaker 13>order to endure the things that they had to endure.

764
00:37:38.880 --> 00:37:42.239
<v Speaker 4>What's the lasting legacy of Jackie Robinson with the Negro

765
00:37:42.320 --> 00:37:45.280
<v Speaker 4>Leagues and just how special is it for him to

766
00:37:45.320 --> 00:37:50.199
<v Speaker 4>be not only the face of American sports history, but

767
00:37:50.400 --> 00:37:52.119
<v Speaker 4>American history period.

768
00:37:52.400 --> 00:37:53.159
<v Speaker 3>Absolutely?

769
00:37:53.360 --> 00:37:57.280
<v Speaker 13>Well, you know, we take great pride that Kansas City

770
00:37:57.840 --> 00:38:02.000
<v Speaker 13>and the Negro Leagues gave a merrit arguably its greatest

771
00:38:02.039 --> 00:38:05.800
<v Speaker 13>hero in Jackie Robinson. And for those who subscribe to

772
00:38:05.840 --> 00:38:10.239
<v Speaker 13>the belief that one individual cannot invoke change, well you

773
00:38:10.320 --> 00:38:13.440
<v Speaker 13>need to look no further than Jackie Roosevelt Robinson. Because

774
00:38:13.480 --> 00:38:15.400
<v Speaker 13>when he walked out on that field as a member

775
00:38:15.400 --> 00:38:19.119
<v Speaker 13>of the Brooklyn Dodgers, he was called everything but my

776
00:38:19.239 --> 00:38:21.559
<v Speaker 13>mother would say, but a child of God when he

777
00:38:21.639 --> 00:38:24.639
<v Speaker 13>walked out there, and he handled himself with such grace,

778
00:38:24.719 --> 00:38:27.599
<v Speaker 13>class and dignity. But the other side of the ledger

779
00:38:27.880 --> 00:38:31.559
<v Speaker 13>is that he was also shouldering the weight of twenty

780
00:38:31.679 --> 00:38:36.039
<v Speaker 13>one million black folks who were counting on him to succeed. Yeah,

781
00:38:36.079 --> 00:38:38.960
<v Speaker 13>and that's an enormous amount of pressure for any one

782
00:38:39.199 --> 00:38:42.000
<v Speaker 13>individual to have to bear, and he did it with

783
00:38:42.079 --> 00:38:46.719
<v Speaker 13>tremendous grace, class, and dignity. We should never forget Jackie Robinson,

784
00:38:46.960 --> 00:38:50.239
<v Speaker 13>and Baseball has made it such. The Dodger organization has

785
00:38:50.239 --> 00:38:53.960
<v Speaker 13>made it such that baseball fans likely won't ever forget

786
00:38:54.039 --> 00:38:56.840
<v Speaker 13>Jackie Robinson. And certainly as long as that museum is

787
00:38:56.840 --> 00:38:59.960
<v Speaker 13>there operating here in Kansas City, his story will all

788
00:39:00.000 --> 00:39:03.280
<v Speaker 13>always be at the forefront. But so will those other

789
00:39:03.360 --> 00:39:06.840
<v Speaker 13>trail blazers, those who built the bridge that allowed Jackie

790
00:39:06.880 --> 00:39:10.119
<v Speaker 13>to cross over and for others to then follow right

791
00:39:10.199 --> 00:39:11.119
<v Speaker 13>behind him.

792
00:39:11.519 --> 00:39:14.480
<v Speaker 4>Before I let you go, show Hay Otani one of

793
00:39:14.559 --> 00:39:17.519
<v Speaker 4>the greatest players we've ever seen in Major League Baseball,

794
00:39:17.840 --> 00:39:20.719
<v Speaker 4>was there anybody like Otani and the Negro leagues?

795
00:39:20.840 --> 00:39:23.920
<v Speaker 13>Well, the thing that I love about this phenom by

796
00:39:23.920 --> 00:39:26.119
<v Speaker 13>the name of shoe hey Atani is that it has

797
00:39:26.199 --> 00:39:28.039
<v Speaker 13>opened up the opportunity for me to talk about the

798
00:39:28.039 --> 00:39:30.039
<v Speaker 13>great two way stars of the Negro leagues. And so

799
00:39:30.119 --> 00:39:32.159
<v Speaker 13>when Shoe Hay first gets here to play in the

800
00:39:32.159 --> 00:39:35.880
<v Speaker 13>major leagues, everyone was saying, Babe brute. But in my opinion,

801
00:39:35.920 --> 00:39:39.039
<v Speaker 13>Babe Ruth is a wrong comparison. The real comparison is

802
00:39:39.079 --> 00:39:42.719
<v Speaker 13>to a guy named Wilber Bullet Rogan, who was a

803
00:39:42.880 --> 00:39:45.599
<v Speaker 13>star pitcher for the Kansas City Monarchs. He is in

804
00:39:45.679 --> 00:39:48.760
<v Speaker 13>the National Baseball Hall of Fame. But when Bullet Rogan

805
00:39:48.960 --> 00:39:52.239
<v Speaker 13>wasn't pitching and he was a dominant pitcher, he played

806
00:39:52.280 --> 00:39:56.440
<v Speaker 13>the outfield and hit cleanup for the Kansas City Monarchs.

807
00:39:56.519 --> 00:39:59.000
<v Speaker 13>Now let me tell you, you don't just hit clean

808
00:39:59.119 --> 00:39:59.840
<v Speaker 13>up for the Kasity.

809
00:40:00.280 --> 00:40:01.599
<v Speaker 3>You've got to be able to rake.

810
00:40:02.000 --> 00:40:05.079
<v Speaker 13>And in the words of the immortal Leroy Satchel Page,

811
00:40:05.480 --> 00:40:10.239
<v Speaker 13>in the beautiful vernacular of Leroy Satchel Page, who said

812
00:40:10.280 --> 00:40:14.599
<v Speaker 13>that Bullet Rogan is the onliest ballplayer I ever heard of.

813
00:40:14.840 --> 00:40:18.239
<v Speaker 13>I've ever seen that pitch and hit in the clean

814
00:40:18.360 --> 00:40:20.920
<v Speaker 13>up position. That was Robert Bullet Joe Rogan.

815
00:40:21.239 --> 00:40:23.800
<v Speaker 4>All right, we got a parallel to show. Hey, Otani,

816
00:40:23.880 --> 00:40:25.239
<v Speaker 4>I knew you would have the answer to that.

817
00:40:26.039 --> 00:40:29.119
<v Speaker 13>Yeah no, But you know, I, like the rest of us,

818
00:40:29.119 --> 00:40:31.719
<v Speaker 13>I'm a baseball fan. We marvel at what sho he

819
00:40:31.920 --> 00:40:34.719
<v Speaker 13>has done. And it also gives me an opportunity to

820
00:40:34.760 --> 00:40:37.719
<v Speaker 13>talk about that connection between the Negro Leagues and Japan

821
00:40:38.039 --> 00:40:42.679
<v Speaker 13>because the Negro Leagues go to Japan in nineteen twenty seven. Man,

822
00:40:42.760 --> 00:40:45.719
<v Speaker 13>that's seven years before Babe Ruth and it's all Americans go.

823
00:40:46.039 --> 00:40:49.599
<v Speaker 13>And they've been commonly credited with having taken our brand

824
00:40:49.679 --> 00:40:52.760
<v Speaker 13>of professional baseball to the Japanese, but it's not true.

825
00:40:52.880 --> 00:40:55.159
<v Speaker 13>If it was a team called the Philadelphia Royal Giants,

826
00:40:55.280 --> 00:40:58.480
<v Speaker 13>they go over to Japan in nineteen twenty seven, they

827
00:40:58.559 --> 00:41:01.239
<v Speaker 13>play a twenty four game ex submission series. They go

828
00:41:01.360 --> 00:41:03.719
<v Speaker 13>twenty three to one on that tour, and if you

829
00:41:03.760 --> 00:41:06.960
<v Speaker 13>were to talk to the older Japanese baseball historian, they

830
00:41:07.000 --> 00:41:09.280
<v Speaker 13>will tell you that it was that tour and a

831
00:41:09.400 --> 00:41:12.840
<v Speaker 13>subsequent tour by that same Philadelphia Royal Giant that was

832
00:41:12.920 --> 00:41:15.119
<v Speaker 13>the spark that lit the flame that is now the

833
00:41:15.159 --> 00:41:19.159
<v Speaker 13>fire for professional baseball in Japan. And it's certainly played

834
00:41:19.159 --> 00:41:21.360
<v Speaker 13>a role in why we were able to get stars

835
00:41:21.599 --> 00:41:25.440
<v Speaker 13>such as Hideo Nomo, my dear friend, Ichiro Suzuki, who's

836
00:41:25.440 --> 00:41:27.880
<v Speaker 13>about to be inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame,

837
00:41:28.159 --> 00:41:31.920
<v Speaker 13>and of course this phenom by the name of Shohei Antani.

838
00:41:32.360 --> 00:41:34.440
<v Speaker 3>The Negro Leagues play a pivotal role.

839
00:41:34.519 --> 00:41:37.639
<v Speaker 13>They helped make our game the global game that it

840
00:41:37.719 --> 00:41:40.679
<v Speaker 13>is today. They just never were given credit for it.

841
00:41:41.039 --> 00:41:43.400
<v Speaker 4>That's why the Negro League can never be forgotten and

842
00:41:43.440 --> 00:41:47.039
<v Speaker 4>it never will be forgotten because Bob Kendrick has continued

843
00:41:47.079 --> 00:41:49.480
<v Speaker 4>to tell the story of the great Negro Leagues and

844
00:41:49.840 --> 00:41:52.960
<v Speaker 4>the Negro League Museum Hall of Fame is one place

845
00:41:53.000 --> 00:41:55.079

<v Speaker 6>for La Dodgers Faceball hits.

872
00:43:11.360 --> 00:43:14.679
<v Speaker 7>The Dodgers and the Royals, final game of this three

873
00:43:14.719 --> 00:43:18.960
<v Speaker 7>game set from Kaufman Stadium. The rain, the lay is

874
00:43:19.239 --> 00:43:22.440
<v Speaker 7>real as the weather blows through right now, the wind,

875
00:43:22.599 --> 00:43:26.159
<v Speaker 7>the rain as we speak at Kaufman Stadium, as they

876
00:43:26.239 --> 00:43:28.719
<v Speaker 7>are experienced some bad weather that is blowing through. They

877
00:43:28.719 --> 00:43:31.639
<v Speaker 7>expected to blow through and we'll get this game underway

878
00:43:31.679 --> 00:43:33.440
<v Speaker 7>at some point whenever it does.

879
00:43:33.519 --> 00:43:34.800
<v Speaker 1>Here's the pitching matchup.

880
00:43:34.880 --> 00:43:38.480
<v Speaker 6>And now before the Dodgers hit the dining we look

881
00:43:38.519 --> 00:43:39.639
<v Speaker 6>at the pitching.

882
00:43:39.360 --> 00:43:42.320
<v Speaker 7>Matchupresent about your southern California. Toyota dealers work hard and

883
00:43:42.360 --> 00:43:44.320
<v Speaker 7>play hard at a New Tacoma with an I Force

884
00:43:44.360 --> 00:43:47.039
<v Speaker 7>turbo charts engine. It's a truck built for the bulls.

885
00:43:47.039 --> 00:43:50.800
<v Speaker 7>See your Toyota dealer today. They make it easy. Chris

886
00:43:50.880 --> 00:43:54.719
<v Speaker 7>Bubach on the mound for the Royals. Interesting story six

887
00:43:54.760 --> 00:43:57.400
<v Speaker 7>and five to eighteen ERA. Twenty seven year old left

888
00:43:57.400 --> 00:43:59.559
<v Speaker 7>hander out of Stanford made his major league debut in

889
00:43:59.599 --> 00:44:00.280
<v Speaker 7>twenty two twenty.

890
00:44:00.719 --> 00:44:02.119
<v Speaker 1>In twenty twenty two, he.

891
00:44:02.039 --> 00:44:04.760
<v Speaker 7>Was one of the worst pitchers in the major leagues

892
00:44:05.320 --> 00:44:08.880
<v Speaker 7>three and thirteen with an ERA over five and a

893
00:44:08.960 --> 00:44:11.320
<v Speaker 7>half in one hundred and twenty nine Indians. He had

894
00:44:11.320 --> 00:44:15.280
<v Speaker 7>the worst on base percentage against major league pitchers at

895
00:44:15.280 --> 00:44:19.000
<v Speaker 7>three eighty one, the highest whip, he give the highest

896
00:44:19.000 --> 00:44:22.280
<v Speaker 7>percentage of line drives twenty five percent, and gave up

897
00:44:22.320 --> 00:44:25.679
<v Speaker 7>the most walks per nine innings amongst major league pitchers.

898
00:44:26.000 --> 00:44:30.360
<v Speaker 7>But then he had Tommy John surgery in twenty twenty three.

899
00:44:30.400 --> 00:44:33.039
<v Speaker 7>It's almost like that movie about the kid in Chicago

900
00:44:33.280 --> 00:44:35.920
<v Speaker 7>who breaks his arm and comes back and becomes the

901
00:44:36.000 --> 00:44:37.599
<v Speaker 7>rookie of the Year for the Cubs.

902
00:44:38.079 --> 00:44:40.039
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, almost like that.

903
00:44:40.280 --> 00:44:45.679
<v Speaker 7>After Tommy John surgery, Chris Bubach comes back and.

904
00:44:45.639 --> 00:44:46.519
<v Speaker 1>You look at before.

905
00:44:47.480 --> 00:44:50.159
<v Speaker 7>He was ten and twenty eight and seventy career appearances

906
00:44:50.199 --> 00:44:54.599
<v Speaker 7>with the forty five e after Tommy John surgery, forty

907
00:44:54.599 --> 00:44:58.079
<v Speaker 7>two outings fifteen starts. Since coming back, he has over

908
00:44:58.159 --> 00:45:02.800
<v Speaker 7>five hundred win loss rec and a two thirty RORA,

909
00:45:03.480 --> 00:45:08.119
<v Speaker 7>which is sixth best in the major leagues during his return.

910
00:45:08.519 --> 00:45:12.159
<v Speaker 7>Guys like Paul Skens, Hunter Green, Chris Sale, Jacob de

911
00:45:12.199 --> 00:45:15.559
<v Speaker 7>Grom also in that same category. So he has been

912
00:45:15.599 --> 00:45:19.239
<v Speaker 7>a completely different pitcher coming back from Tommy John surge.

913
00:45:19.280 --> 00:45:20.920
<v Speaker 7>I'm not sure what they did to that elbow, but

914
00:45:20.960 --> 00:45:22.920
<v Speaker 7>they have made him one of the best pitchers in baseball.

915
00:45:22.960 --> 00:45:24.400
<v Speaker 7>He was the pitcher of the Month of the American

916
00:45:24.480 --> 00:45:26.840
<v Speaker 7>League in the month of May. Five starts, three to

917
00:45:26.880 --> 00:45:30.239
<v Speaker 7>zero a sub one ERA last time out, six highties,

918
00:45:30.320 --> 00:45:33.079
<v Speaker 7>four runs, eight hits, eight strikeouts, though in a loss

919
00:45:33.239 --> 00:45:36.280
<v Speaker 7>to the Razes his first time facing the Dodgers. Luke

920
00:45:36.320 --> 00:45:38.960
<v Speaker 7>Trevino will be the opener when this game eventually gets underway.

921
00:45:39.119 --> 00:45:40.920
<v Speaker 7>Thirty three year old right hander one and two at

922
00:45:40.960 --> 00:45:43.239
<v Speaker 7>the two eighty nine ERA. Six seasons of the big

923
00:45:43.320 --> 00:45:45.280
<v Speaker 7>leagues are really July drafted by the A's in twenty

924
00:45:45.280 --> 00:45:49.000
<v Speaker 7>thirteen eighteenth appearance with the Dodgers, last pitched on Friday,

925
00:45:49.000 --> 00:45:51.559
<v Speaker 7>out of the bullpen and inning in two thirds, one hit,

926
00:45:51.639 --> 00:45:54.280
<v Speaker 7>no runs, one strikeout. He picked up the victory over

927
00:45:54.320 --> 00:45:57.000
<v Speaker 7>the Royals on Friday night. When he goes, it'll be

928
00:45:57.159 --> 00:46:00.159
<v Speaker 7>Justin Robleski to follow as the bulk innings guy, and

929
00:46:00.199 --> 00:46:02.599
<v Speaker 7>he has been great. The twenty four year old left hander.

930
00:46:02.840 --> 00:46:05.079
<v Speaker 7>He is a starter, bulke inting guy.

931
00:46:05.119 --> 00:46:07.639
<v Speaker 1>Today. He can do it all and give you some length.

932
00:46:07.679 --> 00:46:10.440
<v Speaker 7>This is his fit appearings in June, six innings against

933
00:46:10.440 --> 00:46:13.400
<v Speaker 7>the Cardinals, four to thirty innings against the Giants, five

934
00:46:13.400 --> 00:46:16.000
<v Speaker 7>innings against the Padres, and last time out five innings

935
00:46:16.000 --> 00:46:18.519
<v Speaker 7>against the Rockies on Tuesday at Corra's Field.

936
00:46:18.559 --> 00:46:20.360
<v Speaker 1>So he can give you length. He is a starter

937
00:46:20.639 --> 00:46:21.599
<v Speaker 1>who was built up.

938
00:46:21.880 --> 00:46:23.800
<v Speaker 7>He allowed just two runs in his last auting wall

939
00:46:23.840 --> 00:46:28.199
<v Speaker 7>two hits and striking out seven against Colorado again last Tuesday.

940
00:46:28.440 --> 00:46:31.000
<v Speaker 7>So to be Luke Trevino the opener, Justin Robleski to

941
00:46:31.039 --> 00:46:35.239
<v Speaker 7>follow Chris Bubach who has reinvented himself with the Kansas

00:46:35.280 --> 00:46:39.000

953
00:47:13.000 --> 00:47:15.679
<v Speaker 7>been for the Dodgers, having taken all three games in

954
00:47:15.760 --> 00:47:18.719
<v Speaker 7>Colorado against the Rockies, and they went to Kansas City

955
