00:01:04.280 --> 00:01:07.079
<v Speaker 2>gonna dive deeper to this pitchy matchup. David vet segoes

22
00:01:07.079 --> 00:01:09.879
<v Speaker 2>one on one with Chris Woodward. In just a few minutes,

23

<v Speaker 2>we'll check in with Kirsten Watson, who is live on

25
00:01:15.319 --> 00:01:19.120
<v Speaker 2>Monday and Tim nevert O at the Galpum Motors broadcast booth. Well, yesterday, well,

26
00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:21.439
<v Speaker 2>quite frankly, it was a game to forget. You play

27
00:01:21.439 --> 00:01:23.319
<v Speaker 2>one hundred and sixty two games during the course of

28
00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:26.400
<v Speaker 2>a regular season, some games just don't go your way,

29
00:01:26.439 --> 00:01:29.760
<v Speaker 2>and yesterday was one of those games. Justin Robleski got

30
00:01:29.760 --> 00:01:32.680
<v Speaker 2>this start, and boy did he have a rough go.

31
00:01:32.959 --> 00:01:37.959
<v Speaker 2>Bottom of this second inning, the Arizona Diamondbacks absolutely unloaded

32
00:01:37.959 --> 00:01:38.760
<v Speaker 2>on the left hander.

33
00:01:39.359 --> 00:01:43.560
<v Speaker 4>Rona at third base, is Carrol Over at first, Josh

34
00:01:43.599 --> 00:01:46.680
<v Speaker 4>Bell Now Gritchet swings HiT's a high drive to center

35
00:01:46.680 --> 00:01:49.519
<v Speaker 4>indep going back ker Meyer, ker Meyer to the track

36
00:01:49.599 --> 00:01:50.040
<v Speaker 4>to the wall.

37
00:01:50.159 --> 00:01:53.719
<v Speaker 5>That's gone a three run home run for ramdal Richard.

38
00:01:56.599 --> 00:02:00.359
<v Speaker 4>It is eight to nothing Arizona.

39
00:02:01.200 --> 00:02:03.519
<v Speaker 3>Randel Gritchik with the three run home run.

40
00:02:03.519 --> 00:02:06.640
<v Speaker 2>Eight runs scored in the bottom half of the second

41
00:02:06.719 --> 00:02:10.159
<v Speaker 2>inning off Justin Robluski, and that was pretty much it,

42
00:02:10.400 --> 00:02:12.599
<v Speaker 2>as the Diamondbacks would tack on a run in the

43
00:02:12.639 --> 00:02:15.479
<v Speaker 2>third one of the six, two more in the seventh,

44
00:02:15.639 --> 00:02:18.439
<v Speaker 2>two more in the eighth. The Dodgers offense finally got

45
00:02:18.479 --> 00:02:20.039
<v Speaker 2>on the board in the fourth inning, things to an

46
00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:23.039
<v Speaker 2>RBI groundout from Tommy Edmond. In the sixth, they pushed

47
00:02:23.039 --> 00:02:25.319
<v Speaker 2>across the couple of runs, one of them thanks to

48
00:02:25.319 --> 00:02:26.400
<v Speaker 2>Austin Barnes.

49
00:02:26.560 --> 00:02:28.360
<v Speaker 4>And then the next three men went down in order

50
00:02:29.159 --> 00:02:31.159
<v Speaker 4>and Byrn's lines it at the right field of base

51
00:02:31.199 --> 00:02:34.599
<v Speaker 4>six coming around third is Edmund.

52
00:02:34.639 --> 00:02:35.520
<v Speaker 1>He will score.

53
00:02:35.599 --> 00:02:36.800
<v Speaker 5>It's now nine to three.

54
00:02:36.919 --> 00:02:40.520
<v Speaker 4>As Austin Byrons comes up with a two out RBI

55
00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:41.039
<v Speaker 4>base ship.

56
00:02:41.360 --> 00:02:43.479
<v Speaker 2>Well, the Dodgers will get a couple of there in

57
00:02:43.560 --> 00:02:45.400
<v Speaker 2>the top half of the sixth, but it was no

58
00:02:45.479 --> 00:02:48.639
<v Speaker 2>way they were catching the Arizona Diamondbacks. Justin Roblusky, for

59
00:02:48.680 --> 00:02:50.879
<v Speaker 2>his part, managed to pitch into the sixth inning five

60
00:02:50.919 --> 00:02:55.319
<v Speaker 2>and a third, ten earned runs, ten hits, two home runs,

61
00:02:55.360 --> 00:02:58.960
<v Speaker 2>two walks, Michael grow pitching inning in two thirds. Hernandez

62
00:02:59.039 --> 00:03:01.080
<v Speaker 2>came in and pitched an for the Dodgers in the

63
00:03:01.120 --> 00:03:03.639
<v Speaker 2>back end as well. It was an ugly one for

64
00:03:03.680 --> 00:03:06.960
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers as they lose fourteen to three to the

65
00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:10.080
<v Speaker 2>Arizona Diamondbacks. As the Dodgers have their winning streat come

66
00:03:10.120 --> 00:03:11.919
<v Speaker 2>to an end, They're now eighty two and fifty five,

67
00:03:12.039 --> 00:03:15.039
<v Speaker 2>still a five game lead in the nl WES over

68
00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:18.439
<v Speaker 2>both the Diamondbacks and the Padres. Today the final game

69
00:03:18.479 --> 00:03:20.240
<v Speaker 2>of this four game series, and it's a big one.

70
00:03:20.280 --> 00:03:23.039
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers looking for the series win, also looking to win

71
00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:26.639
<v Speaker 2>the season series over the Snakes. Jack Flaherty on the mound,

72
00:03:26.680 --> 00:03:28.560
<v Speaker 2>first pitch coming up at one to ten, and with more,

73
00:03:28.759 --> 00:03:31.039
<v Speaker 2>let's head out to the gapin Motors Broadcast booth as

74
00:03:31.039 --> 00:03:31.560
<v Speaker 2>we say good.

75
00:03:31.479 --> 00:03:33.960
<v Speaker 3>Afternoon to Rick Monday and Tim Neffert.

76
00:03:33.960 --> 00:03:35.319
<v Speaker 5>Guys, thank you very much.

77
00:03:35.360 --> 00:03:37.919
<v Speaker 4>Tim roof closed again on this Labor Day Monday for

78
00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:41.560
<v Speaker 4>this matine ball game. As the Dodgers and the Diamondbacks

79
00:03:41.560 --> 00:03:45.039
<v Speaker 4>complete this four game wrap round series in Phoenix. The

80
00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:50.800
<v Speaker 4>Dodgers falling yesterday fourteen to three, their most lopsided defeat

81
00:03:50.840 --> 00:03:54.400
<v Speaker 4>of the season. Brandon Fock got the win over Justin Robluski.

82
00:03:54.560 --> 00:03:57.599
<v Speaker 4>The roster move today, Justin Robluski taking off the roster.

83
00:03:57.759 --> 00:04:02.280
<v Speaker 4>Michael Peterson reliever right handed back from Oklahoma City, so

84
00:04:02.319 --> 00:04:05.639
<v Speaker 4>he'll be active and in the bullpen. But with that

85
00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:10.080
<v Speaker 4>game yesterday, that the eight run second inning provided pretty

86
00:04:10.120 --> 00:04:13.639
<v Speaker 4>much a white flag for the Dodgers and Dave Roberts

87
00:04:13.719 --> 00:04:16.399
<v Speaker 4>protecting the bullpen for a second straight day, so all

88
00:04:16.439 --> 00:04:18.639
<v Speaker 4>the regulars should be rested and ready to go.

89
00:04:18.759 --> 00:04:21.600
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, and you know, Rusque just did not have any

90
00:04:21.639 --> 00:04:24.160
<v Speaker 6>breaking ball at all, and it didn't take long for

91
00:04:24.240 --> 00:04:26.720
<v Speaker 6>Arizona to figure that out after the first inning. I

92
00:04:26.720 --> 00:04:28.839
<v Speaker 6>mean they went to home late looking for fastballs, and

93
00:04:28.879 --> 00:04:30.959
<v Speaker 6>if you're not getting the breaking ball over, there's nothing

94
00:04:30.959 --> 00:04:34.560
<v Speaker 6>else really to choose from. And he paid the price.

95
00:04:34.600 --> 00:04:36.519
<v Speaker 6>He backed up a lot of bases. Ten runs on

96
00:04:36.600 --> 00:04:39.560
<v Speaker 6>ten it's two home runs. As you were mentioning a

97
00:04:39.600 --> 00:04:42.720
<v Speaker 6>little bit earlier. The good thing is some of the

98
00:04:42.839 --> 00:04:45.279
<v Speaker 6>arms in that bullpen, and it has been a very

99
00:04:45.519 --> 00:04:48.879
<v Speaker 6>well taxed bullpen. They've had a chance to kind of

100
00:04:48.920 --> 00:04:52.240
<v Speaker 6>refresh a little bit, and Dave Roberts suber expecting everybody

101
00:04:52.360 --> 00:04:54.600
<v Speaker 6>is going to be available out of the bullpen. The

102
00:04:54.680 --> 00:04:57.319
<v Speaker 6>big question is how long Jack Flaherty is going to

103
00:04:57.319 --> 00:04:59.199
<v Speaker 6>be going in that game. He has been a breath

104
00:04:59.199 --> 00:05:03.240
<v Speaker 6>of fresh air Dodgers in particular in the starting rotation.

105
00:05:02.959 --> 00:05:05.920
<v Speaker 4>And Clarida needs to be a stopper today because the

106
00:05:05.959 --> 00:05:08.920
<v Speaker 4>Diamondbacks are a very tough offensive team and as the

107
00:05:08.959 --> 00:05:11.600
<v Speaker 4>season goes along, they haven't slowed down in terms of

108
00:05:11.639 --> 00:05:14.480
<v Speaker 4>scoring runs. They're the top run scoring team in Major

109
00:05:14.519 --> 00:05:17.759
<v Speaker 4>League Baseball. Well, they proved it yesterday for sure, fourteen

110
00:05:17.839 --> 00:05:18.639
<v Speaker 4>runs on the board.

111
00:05:18.680 --> 00:05:20.000
<v Speaker 5>But they can.

112
00:05:19.800 --> 00:05:21.920
<v Speaker 4>Score no matter what. Can they pitch, yeah, they can

113
00:05:21.959 --> 00:05:24.560
<v Speaker 4>pitch a little bit, but they can really rack.

114
00:05:24.519 --> 00:05:25.000
<v Speaker 1>Up the runs.

115
00:05:25.040 --> 00:05:25.279
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

116
00:05:25.319 --> 00:05:28.920
<v Speaker 6>Offensively, they hold their own, as you mentioned, top in

117
00:05:29.040 --> 00:05:32.120
<v Speaker 6>the run score. They're also second in batting average. But

118
00:05:32.199 --> 00:05:34.319
<v Speaker 6>the other part too is they're twenty six and earned

119
00:05:34.360 --> 00:05:36.759
<v Speaker 6>rent average, so they do give up some runs. There's

120
00:05:36.800 --> 00:05:39.199
<v Speaker 6>no infens but it's about that they're twenty eighth down

121
00:05:39.279 --> 00:05:42.079
<v Speaker 6>the list as far as batting average against. The Dodgers

122
00:05:42.120 --> 00:05:44.040
<v Speaker 6>have to take advantage of it. One thing that we've

123
00:05:44.040 --> 00:05:47.600
<v Speaker 6>seen about Arizona they are a very aggressive team and

124
00:05:47.680 --> 00:05:49.879
<v Speaker 6>if you give them an inch, they're going to take

125
00:05:49.879 --> 00:05:50.839
<v Speaker 6>about six or seven.

126
00:05:50.879 --> 00:05:54.000
<v Speaker 4>If they can an important game today, why well, because

127
00:05:54.040 --> 00:05:56.720
<v Speaker 4>you can get a six game division lead as opposed

128
00:05:56.759 --> 00:05:58.240
<v Speaker 4>to the five game it presently is.

129
00:05:58.920 --> 00:06:01.199
<v Speaker 5>But the winner of this game today.

130
00:06:00.959 --> 00:06:04.759
<v Speaker 4>Will own the tiebreaker between these two teams and win

131
00:06:04.800 --> 00:06:08.040
<v Speaker 4>the season series. Six wins for the Dodgers, six wins

132
00:06:08.040 --> 00:06:11.439
<v Speaker 4>for the Diamondbacks, so important in that category as far

133
00:06:11.439 --> 00:06:13.160
<v Speaker 4>as a tiebreaker goes for the postseason.

134
00:06:13.240 --> 00:06:16.399
<v Speaker 6>Ever, playing numbers games and Arizona needs to be able

135
00:06:16.439 --> 00:06:19.279
<v Speaker 6>to reduce the number that they trailed. Both they and

136
00:06:19.319 --> 00:06:22.519
<v Speaker 6>the Podres five games behind the Dodgers in the Western Division.

137
00:06:22.759 --> 00:06:25.519
<v Speaker 6>Dodgers trying to win their eighty third game of the season.

138
00:06:25.920 --> 00:06:27.920
<v Speaker 6>And if you look at the Nation League Western Division,

139
00:06:27.959 --> 00:06:29.879
<v Speaker 6>I mean this is going to be very competitive coming

140
00:06:29.879 --> 00:06:32.000
<v Speaker 6>down who's going to win it, Who's going to be

141
00:06:32.040 --> 00:06:35.680
<v Speaker 6>the wild card representative? And in the West there's a

142
00:06:35.720 --> 00:06:36.759
<v Speaker 6>big battle going.

143
00:06:36.560 --> 00:06:39.720
<v Speaker 4>On with the left hander of Water Rodriguez on the mound.

144
00:06:40.040 --> 00:06:42.759
<v Speaker 4>The Dodgers have Gavin Luxe and Max Munsey on the

145
00:06:42.800 --> 00:06:46.480
<v Speaker 4>bench today, Chris Taylor, Keith k Hernandez in the Dodger lineup.

146
00:06:46.560 --> 00:06:49.319
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, and the lineup needs to go one, two to three.

147
00:06:49.399 --> 00:06:52.319
<v Speaker 6>Taskar Hernandez has really been maybe the guy's been overlook

148
00:06:52.639 --> 00:06:55.720
<v Speaker 6>will find out what are the vulnerabilities that Taskar has

149
00:06:55.720 --> 00:06:58.920
<v Speaker 6>had has been with the slider, and he has seen

150
00:06:58.959 --> 00:07:01.600
<v Speaker 6>a boatload of slide in this series in the first

151
00:07:01.600 --> 00:07:02.120
<v Speaker 6>three games.

152
00:07:02.160 --> 00:07:05.279
<v Speaker 4>So Dodgers with Major League Baseball's best record at eighty

153

<v Speaker 1>This is Kirston's Corner with Kirston Watson.

189
00:08:52.320 --> 00:08:55.039
<v Speaker 2>Hey, Kirston now joins us from the field in Arizona,

190
00:08:55.080 --> 00:08:56.639
<v Speaker 2>final game of this four game series.

191
00:08:56.720 --> 00:08:58.279
<v Speaker 3>Kirsten Dodgers won the first two.

192
00:08:58.399 --> 00:09:01.840
<v Speaker 2>Yesterday they got snake bitten by the Diamondbacks. And here

193
00:09:01.840 --> 00:09:04.759
<v Speaker 2>we are a very pivotal game in this four game series.

194
00:09:05.840 --> 00:09:07.960
<v Speaker 7>It is, and especially because of just kind of looking

195
00:09:08.000 --> 00:09:09.879
<v Speaker 7>at the season overall. So if you look at the

196
00:09:09.960 --> 00:09:14.200
<v Speaker 7>season series of these two teams right now, it's high.

197
00:09:14.360 --> 00:09:17.759
<v Speaker 7>So whoever wins this game is for some reason the

198
00:09:17.799 --> 00:09:20.159
<v Speaker 7>Diamondbacks can pipe their way back and they can pick

199
00:09:20.240 --> 00:09:22.360
<v Speaker 7>up four games at the moment. To pick up four,

200
00:09:23.000 --> 00:09:26.120
<v Speaker 7>then they would ultimately and they tie the division, they

201
00:09:26.120 --> 00:09:28.639
<v Speaker 7>would have the tiebreaker over the Dodgers. If the Dodgers

202
00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:30.679
<v Speaker 7>win today, then they would have the tiebreaker over the

203
00:09:30.720 --> 00:09:34.240
<v Speaker 7>Diamondbacks if the situation comes to that down the line,

204
00:09:34.240 --> 00:09:36.799
<v Speaker 7>and once you get to want sixty two. So that's

205
00:09:36.840 --> 00:09:39.720
<v Speaker 7>an important factor just considering how well the Dbacks have

206
00:09:39.799 --> 00:09:42.799
<v Speaker 7>been playing as of late. The other thing to consider

207
00:09:42.919 --> 00:09:44.759
<v Speaker 7>is what the standings are going to look like. So

208
00:09:44.919 --> 00:09:48.679
<v Speaker 7>with the Dodgers win today, then the lead goes to six.

209
00:09:48.879 --> 00:09:50.879
<v Speaker 7>If they lose, it's going to stay at four. So

210
00:09:51.320 --> 00:09:53.759
<v Speaker 7>there's a lot on the line in regard to that.

211
00:09:53.840 --> 00:09:56.639
<v Speaker 7>I think ultimately you want to really head into septemb

212
00:09:56.639 --> 00:09:58.639
<v Speaker 7>well or in September, but you want to take on

213
00:09:58.720 --> 00:10:01.360
<v Speaker 7>the rest of the rest at September with a six

214
00:10:01.440 --> 00:10:06.360
<v Speaker 7>game lead leaving Arizona. So when you consider all of

215
00:10:06.399 --> 00:10:09.279
<v Speaker 7>those things, there's that on the line, but ultimately it's

216
00:10:09.360 --> 00:10:12.159
<v Speaker 7>just you know, looking to win this series. Dave robertsause

217
00:10:12.159 --> 00:10:13.919
<v Speaker 7>you know he will obviously like those are things that

218
00:10:14.080 --> 00:10:16.080
<v Speaker 7>you have to take into consideration if you don't want

219
00:10:16.120 --> 00:10:19.399
<v Speaker 7>to put yourself in that situation. But ultimately, like that

220
00:10:19.600 --> 00:10:22.080
<v Speaker 7>just seems winning the series. They've seen how aggressive the

221
00:10:22.080 --> 00:10:25.360
<v Speaker 7>diamondback comes into this entire series. Their batch has been hot.

222
00:10:25.559 --> 00:10:27.799
<v Speaker 7>But he feels really good with Jack Claerty taking the

223
00:10:27.799 --> 00:10:31.519
<v Speaker 7>ball today and continuing just what he's been doing this season.

224
00:10:31.559 --> 00:10:34.360
<v Speaker 7>As long as he uses the secondary pitches, you know,

225
00:10:34.559 --> 00:10:37.000
<v Speaker 7>goes to that fastball when Nemesy, then he feels like

226
00:10:37.120 --> 00:10:39.559
<v Speaker 7>he should be in a really good spot to be successful.

227
00:10:39.600 --> 00:10:39.879
<v Speaker 5>Today.

228
00:10:40.279 --> 00:10:42.080
<v Speaker 2>Kirsen is brought to by Cars for Kids. The easiest

233
00:10:50.399 --> 00:10:53.159
<v Speaker 2>success in September, they're going to need more starting pitching.

234
00:10:53.200 --> 00:10:55.679
<v Speaker 2>Y'a'm a modo glass now Kershaw, who are all hurt

235
00:10:55.759 --> 00:10:56.159
<v Speaker 2>right now?

236
00:10:56.799 --> 00:10:57.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

237
00:10:57.240 --> 00:10:59.799
<v Speaker 7>Exactly. You know, when you look at the rotation right now,

238
00:11:00.039 --> 00:11:01.759
<v Speaker 7>this was the end of September, I think there would

239
00:11:01.759 --> 00:11:04.399
<v Speaker 7>be a good amount of concern heading into the club season.

240
00:11:04.480 --> 00:11:07.080
<v Speaker 7>The good thing is, as much as the calendar is

241
00:11:07.120 --> 00:11:10.360
<v Speaker 7>getting tight, there is still former weeks and so there

242
00:11:10.360 --> 00:11:13.000
<v Speaker 7>are guys who are working their way back and getting healthier.

243
00:11:13.240 --> 00:11:16.639
<v Speaker 7>First with Yoshinobu, so he's with the team right now

244
00:11:16.639 --> 00:11:19.399
<v Speaker 7>playing catch, but he is going to be finished or

245
00:11:19.600 --> 00:11:23.679
<v Speaker 7>going back out on his rehab assignment tomorrow. With the start,

246
00:11:24.039 --> 00:11:25.879
<v Speaker 7>Dave Roberts said, the plan is for him to get

247
00:11:25.879 --> 00:11:28.480
<v Speaker 7>through three innings, depending on where the pitch count is,

248
00:11:28.519 --> 00:11:31.120
<v Speaker 7>that hopefully he can do a fourth inning in the bullpen.

249
00:11:31.960 --> 00:11:34.759
<v Speaker 7>After that, you know, it will be a decision if

250
00:11:34.799 --> 00:11:37.000
<v Speaker 7>he's going to return to the big leagues and his

251
00:11:37.120 --> 00:11:39.440
<v Speaker 7>next start being in the big league, he wouldn't be

252
00:11:39.480 --> 00:11:42.360
<v Speaker 7>fully built up just yet to get through five. But

253
00:11:42.559 --> 00:11:45.240
<v Speaker 7>the hope is that depending on where the bullpen is,

254
00:11:45.279 --> 00:11:47.639
<v Speaker 7>if the usage of hides and obviously bringing a starter

255
00:11:47.679 --> 00:11:50.240
<v Speaker 7>who's gon only get through four isn't best case scenario,

256
00:11:50.399 --> 00:11:52.440
<v Speaker 7>might make more sense for him to do one more outing.

257
00:11:52.799 --> 00:11:55.279
<v Speaker 7>But if I feel like the bullpen can get in support,

258
00:11:55.639 --> 00:11:58.080
<v Speaker 7>he's in a good spot. Maybe he could build up

259
00:11:58.279 --> 00:12:01.840
<v Speaker 7>walk here, which is also very realistic, then that could

260
00:12:01.840 --> 00:12:03.720
<v Speaker 7>be the case. I think also just sep to stay

261
00:12:03.759 --> 00:12:06.639
<v Speaker 7>at their rotation. It does feel very realistic that needs

262
00:12:06.679 --> 00:12:09.080
<v Speaker 7>to be returning after this next three up there. So

263
00:12:09.080 --> 00:12:10.679
<v Speaker 7>that's I guess really good news with that.

264
00:12:11.399 --> 00:12:13.440
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers are gonna need all these arms when they come

265
00:12:13.480 --> 00:12:15.279
<v Speaker 2>back to be a part of this rotation, no doubt

266
00:12:15.279 --> 00:12:17.120
<v Speaker 2>about it, curius, and we appreciate it still. They come

267

292
00:13:32.879 --> 00:13:35.759
<v Speaker 1>Questions for Dave, Dave, can you just describe Dave?

293
00:13:35.840 --> 00:13:37.679
<v Speaker 5>Can you talk about the pressure.

294
00:13:38.080 --> 00:13:39.960
<v Speaker 1>In the dugout with Dave.

295
00:13:39.879 --> 00:13:43.960
<v Speaker 8>Roberts teams excuse us about anybody in baseball statistically and

296
00:13:44.080 --> 00:13:46.679
<v Speaker 8>hitting the fastball like this does that in a small

297
00:13:46.720 --> 00:13:48.840
<v Speaker 8>sample of just one series, like coming to play at all,

298
00:13:48.879 --> 00:13:49.600
<v Speaker 8>when you guys.

299
00:13:49.440 --> 00:13:52.080
<v Speaker 3>Are game planning and figuring out how to attack.

300
00:13:51.879 --> 00:13:57.200
<v Speaker 9>Them, Yeah, I think you know, fastball velocity is certainly up,

301
00:13:58.360 --> 00:14:01.440
<v Speaker 9>and then you bake in characteris that makes hitting the

302
00:14:01.480 --> 00:14:05.720
<v Speaker 9>fastball even harder. And this team is very good to

303
00:14:05.799 --> 00:14:09.360
<v Speaker 9>hitting the fastball, and that does correlate to run scored

304
00:14:10.480 --> 00:14:13.600
<v Speaker 9>and slug and all those kind of things. So I

305
00:14:13.639 --> 00:14:15.519
<v Speaker 9>think it's just more of trying to figure out how

306
00:14:15.559 --> 00:14:18.720
<v Speaker 9>to command the fastball, where to go with it, some

307
00:14:18.759 --> 00:14:21.679
<v Speaker 9>safe places, and when do you use it. So you've

308
00:14:21.720 --> 00:14:24.279
<v Speaker 9>got to use your secondary So Jack's really good at

309
00:14:24.480 --> 00:14:26.799
<v Speaker 9>as far as the sequencing part of it, but you

310
00:14:26.879 --> 00:14:28.759
<v Speaker 9>have to use your fastball, but you've got to kind

311
00:14:28.799 --> 00:14:29.559
<v Speaker 9>of know where to go.

312
00:14:29.919 --> 00:14:32.960
<v Speaker 3>How different would a six game division lead.

313
00:14:33.000 --> 00:14:35.799
<v Speaker 2>Feel from a four game division lead, depending on how

314
00:14:35.840 --> 00:14:38.039
<v Speaker 2>this one shakes out when you look out down.

315
00:14:37.840 --> 00:14:38.919
<v Speaker 3>The rest of the way.

316
00:14:40.039 --> 00:14:44.440
<v Speaker 9>It's big, especially when you don't play these guys anymore.

317
00:14:44.440 --> 00:14:47.279
<v Speaker 9>They don't play us anymore, so to be able to,

318
00:14:48.000 --> 00:14:50.519
<v Speaker 9>you know, extend it to six games that's the goal.

319
00:14:50.600 --> 00:14:55.320
<v Speaker 9>And obviously you know they're playing with submergency, as are.

320
00:14:55.200 --> 00:15:00.240
<v Speaker 10>We, some kind of tycholegics carry over him.

321
00:15:00.360 --> 00:15:01.960
<v Speaker 6>Is a good chance you play him again in a

322
00:15:02.000 --> 00:15:03.039
<v Speaker 6>month in the playoffs.

323
00:15:03.200 --> 00:15:05.480
<v Speaker 5>As far as ringing three out of four here right

324
00:15:05.480 --> 00:15:06.360
<v Speaker 5>in spliting.

325
00:15:06.679 --> 00:15:09.600
<v Speaker 9>You know, Bob, I'd love to say yes, but it

326
00:15:09.600 --> 00:15:12.279
<v Speaker 9>didn't work out last year. As far as how well

327
00:15:12.320 --> 00:15:15.879
<v Speaker 9>we played him, I do think that, you know, we're

328
00:15:15.879 --> 00:15:19.399
<v Speaker 9>playing good baseball, and it just comes down to, you know,

329
00:15:19.759 --> 00:15:23.879
<v Speaker 9>if we see him again playing our best baseball, it's

330
00:15:23.919 --> 00:15:28.279
<v Speaker 9>a good ball club over there. Athletics certainly they run

331
00:15:28.360 --> 00:15:33.080
<v Speaker 9>the base as well, they defend the good offensively. So

332
00:15:34.720 --> 00:15:36.879
<v Speaker 9>I still, yeah, still want to win the season series.

333
00:15:37.279 --> 00:15:39.440
<v Speaker 2>All right, there's Dave Roberts down the dugout, brought to

358
00:16:46.679 --> 00:16:50.679
<v Speaker 1>for who they are. This is Dodger insider David Basse.

359
00:16:51.039 --> 00:16:51.759
<v Speaker 3>All right, DV.

360
00:16:51.960 --> 00:16:54.759
<v Speaker 2>This is the final game in the regular season between

361
00:16:54.759 --> 00:16:57.080
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers and Diamondbacks. And man, this one's got a

362
00:16:57.080 --> 00:16:59.000
<v Speaker 2>lot riding on it, doesn't it.

363
00:16:59.000 --> 00:16:59.759
<v Speaker 5>It really does.

364
00:17:00.320 --> 00:17:03.320
<v Speaker 11>Obviously, the Dodgers are in good position after winning the

365
00:17:03.320 --> 00:17:05.920
<v Speaker 11>first two games of this series, but it would be

366
00:17:06.000 --> 00:17:09.519
<v Speaker 11>disappointing to come away with a split after the way

367
00:17:09.559 --> 00:17:12.839
<v Speaker 11>they were able to rally with a couple of different

368
00:17:13.000 --> 00:17:16.599
<v Speaker 11>things in play, including Kershaw coming out in the first

369
00:17:16.640 --> 00:17:20.200
<v Speaker 11>game after just one plus innings. But really, Tim today

370
00:17:20.599 --> 00:17:24.039
<v Speaker 11>is worth three games, not only the two games it's

371
00:17:24.079 --> 00:17:27.480
<v Speaker 11>worth in the standing, but also the tiebreaker is at

372
00:17:27.519 --> 00:17:31.359
<v Speaker 11>stake because these two teams have split the first twelve

373
00:17:31.440 --> 00:17:35.400
<v Speaker 11>games of their in season matchups. So whoever wins today's

374
00:17:35.440 --> 00:17:40.160
<v Speaker 11>game also gets the typebreaker if for some reason there

375
00:17:40.240 --> 00:17:43.000
<v Speaker 11>is a tie in the standings on the final.

376
00:17:42.720 --> 00:17:43.920
<v Speaker 5>Day of the regular season.

377
00:17:44.319 --> 00:17:48.079
<v Speaker 11>So essentially, if the Dodgers win this game today, it

378
00:17:48.160 --> 00:17:51.519
<v Speaker 11>will be six games in the standings, but with the tiebreaker,

379
00:17:52.039 --> 00:17:55.839
<v Speaker 11>they would be seven games ahead of the Arizona Diamondbacks.

380
00:17:55.880 --> 00:18:00.200
<v Speaker 11>So this is a very very big game between these

381
00:18:00.240 --> 00:18:00.839
<v Speaker 11>two teams.

382
00:18:01.519 --> 00:18:05.039
<v Speaker 2>David Clayton Kershaw certainly on the il with the toe.

383
00:18:05.319 --> 00:18:07.640
<v Speaker 3>What's the latest on him. We're hearing rumors of a

384
00:18:07.720 --> 00:18:08.440
<v Speaker 3>walking boot.

385
00:18:09.319 --> 00:18:12.359
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, he's in a walking boot on his left foot.

386
00:18:12.480 --> 00:18:16.599
<v Speaker 11>He you know, has the bone spur turf toe in

387
00:18:16.680 --> 00:18:19.319
<v Speaker 11>that big left toe. So he's going to be in

388
00:18:19.359 --> 00:18:22.039
<v Speaker 11>a walking boot moving forward. I saw him out here

389
00:18:22.160 --> 00:18:25.960
<v Speaker 11>yesterday and he was wearing his tennis shoes and he

390
00:18:26.119 --> 00:18:30.279
<v Speaker 11>was playing catch from about sixty sixty five feet. He

391
00:18:30.359 --> 00:18:32.759
<v Speaker 11>did not have a walking boot there, and it seemed

392
00:18:32.759 --> 00:18:35.960
<v Speaker 11>to be he seemed to be walking fine without it.

393
00:18:36.000 --> 00:18:39.440
<v Speaker 11>But the Dodger said, there is still swelling in that

394
00:18:39.519 --> 00:18:41.920
<v Speaker 11>big left foot, and we'll see when we get on

395
00:18:41.960 --> 00:18:44.000
<v Speaker 11>the plane whether or not he's in a walking boot.

396
00:18:44.119 --> 00:18:46.160
<v Speaker 3>David is driven by Ford. There's one thing we like.

397
00:18:46.240 --> 00:18:48.680
<v Speaker 2>His choice is fine yours with the F one to

398
00:18:48.759 --> 00:18:51.920
<v Speaker 2>fifty gas hybrid all electric tough, this march can only

399
00:18:51.920 --> 00:18:56.359
<v Speaker 2>be called the Ford F one fifty show. Aotani's certainly

400
00:18:56.359 --> 00:18:58.160
<v Speaker 2>putting up big numbers in his first year in a

401
00:18:58.200 --> 00:19:01.440
<v Speaker 2>Dodger uniform. We heard a lot about what his process

402
00:19:01.519 --> 00:19:04.200
<v Speaker 2>was like in Anaheim for six seasons, David, but being

403
00:19:04.240 --> 00:19:06.119
<v Speaker 2>around him on a daily basis, what's it like.

404
00:19:07.160 --> 00:19:09.640
<v Speaker 11>Well, this year it's a lot different than what it

405
00:19:09.799 --> 00:19:12.680
<v Speaker 11>was in Anaheim because for the majority of those six

406
00:19:12.799 --> 00:19:16.319
<v Speaker 11>years he was spending time between hitting and pitching. And

407
00:19:17.759 --> 00:19:20.960
<v Speaker 11>from what I understand talking to Dodger players, they say,

408
00:19:21.000 --> 00:19:24.599
<v Speaker 11>behind the scenes, O'tani really shows a lot of his

409
00:19:24.720 --> 00:19:28.759
<v Speaker 11>personality and sense of humor. He's a jokester. But also

410
00:19:29.079 --> 00:19:32.599
<v Speaker 11>my understanding is he is very prepared. Talking to Clayton

411
00:19:32.680 --> 00:19:35.359
<v Speaker 11>McCullough when we were in Oakland, Tim, you heard him

412
00:19:35.400 --> 00:19:39.880
<v Speaker 11>say that O'tani really prepares by looking at video of

413
00:19:39.960 --> 00:19:42.920
<v Speaker 11>the opposing picture on when he can go, when he

414
00:19:43.000 --> 00:19:47.000
<v Speaker 11>can't go, and in stolen based categories, and obviously does

415
00:19:47.000 --> 00:19:49.359
<v Speaker 11>a lot of homework in the hitting department as well.

416
00:19:49.759 --> 00:19:54.519
<v Speaker 11>And my understanding is Otani gravitates towards the hitters more

417
00:19:54.559 --> 00:19:57.079
<v Speaker 11>than the pictures on this team. Obviously he's a two

418
00:19:57.079 --> 00:20:00.559
<v Speaker 11>way player and he's great at both. But my understanding

419
00:20:00.680 --> 00:20:04.680
<v Speaker 11>since the beginning of spring training, he really doesn't gravitate

420
00:20:04.720 --> 00:20:06.000
<v Speaker 11>towards the pitching group.

421
00:20:06.359 --> 00:20:07.920
<v Speaker 5>He's usually with the hitters.

422
00:20:08.680 --> 00:20:10.200
<v Speaker 2>And you can probably do both if you want to

423
00:20:10.359 --> 00:20:11.599
<v Speaker 2>appreciate it. We'll check you with you in just a

00:21:22.440 --> 00:21:26.799
<v Speaker 2>We go back to twenty seventeen, the NLDS Dodgers taking

447
00:21:26.880 --> 00:21:30.039
<v Speaker 2>on the Diamondbacks. Dodgers would win the game and take

448
00:21:30.079 --> 00:21:33.559
<v Speaker 2>a two oh series lead thanks to Austin Barnes drills.

449
00:21:33.559 --> 00:21:35.200
<v Speaker 5>Wann In the left field for a base.

450
00:21:36.559 --> 00:21:41.640
<v Speaker 4>In the score is Branderson forsythe behind him. Burns arrives

451
00:21:41.680 --> 00:21:44.599
<v Speaker 4>at second base with a double, and the Dodgers take

<v Speaker 1>And now joined by David Basseying, Here's La Dodgers broadcaster

510
00:24:33.160 --> 00:24:36.799
<v Speaker 1>and world series champion Dodger Rick Monday.

511
00:24:37.480 --> 00:24:39.799
<v Speaker 11>Rick, I'm not very good at math, but I even

512
00:24:39.920 --> 00:24:43.839
<v Speaker 11>know that this game today against the Diamondbacks is worth

513
00:24:44.079 --> 00:24:47.359
<v Speaker 11>three games for the Dodgers because the type breaker also

514
00:24:47.480 --> 00:24:48.039
<v Speaker 11>is at stake.

515
00:24:48.119 --> 00:24:51.559
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, you're absolutely right, and there is a sense of

516
00:24:51.720 --> 00:24:54.720
<v Speaker 6>urgency just to make sure that all things are in

517
00:24:54.759 --> 00:24:57.519
<v Speaker 6>the basket that you wanted to be in. And quite frankly,

518
00:24:57.559 --> 00:25:00.839
<v Speaker 6>if we look at this series, it's been strange. I mean,

519
00:25:01.400 --> 00:25:04.119
<v Speaker 6>kind of three strange games to begin with, but if

520
00:25:04.160 --> 00:25:07.599
<v Speaker 6>we stop and analyze it, it's been rather strange here

521
00:25:07.640 --> 00:25:11.279
<v Speaker 6>in Arizona. Let me take you back down memory lane,

522
00:25:11.720 --> 00:25:14.200
<v Speaker 6>back to the thirtieth of April, and I'm showing you

523
00:25:14.240 --> 00:25:16.680
<v Speaker 6>the video and how many of us forgot that the

524
00:25:16.720 --> 00:25:19.599
<v Speaker 6>fact we had that one game that was delayed because

525
00:25:19.640 --> 00:25:22.559
<v Speaker 6>of the beehive that was attached to the top of

526
00:25:22.279 --> 00:25:25.519
<v Speaker 6>the backstop the screen, and the game was delayed what

527
00:25:25.640 --> 00:25:29.240
<v Speaker 6>they called a beekeeper, and we had long delay before

528
00:25:29.319 --> 00:25:32.400
<v Speaker 6>the beekeeper who got a standing ovation, and then throughout

529
00:25:32.400 --> 00:25:34.000
<v Speaker 6>the first pitch we finally got it away.

530
00:25:34.119 --> 00:25:36.799
<v Speaker 11>That beekeeper really milked his five minutes of faint.

531
00:25:36.880 --> 00:25:39.839
<v Speaker 6>Oh he did, he did a big time and it

532
00:25:39.880 --> 00:25:42.079
<v Speaker 6>was really kind of fun. When's the last time the

533
00:25:42.119 --> 00:25:44.839
<v Speaker 6>beekeeper that you know of got a standing ovation, And

534
00:25:44.839 --> 00:25:47.480
<v Speaker 6>that's exactly what he got here back back on the

535
00:25:47.519 --> 00:25:49.799
<v Speaker 6>thirtieth of April. So we've had some kind of strange,

536
00:25:50.160 --> 00:25:52.480
<v Speaker 6>strange happenings in this ballpark this year.

537
00:25:52.799 --> 00:25:55.640
<v Speaker 11>The first three games of this series, a lot of runs.

538
00:25:55.720 --> 00:25:56.680
<v Speaker 11>I've been scored ragged.

539
00:25:56.720 --> 00:26:00.559
<v Speaker 6>Well, let me tell you it's lopsided. Okay, the Dodgers

540
00:26:00.559 --> 00:26:03.039
<v Speaker 6>have won two out of the three. But here are

541
00:26:03.079 --> 00:26:05.480
<v Speaker 6>the numbers that you're referring to. The Dodgers have scored

542
00:26:05.519 --> 00:26:09.319
<v Speaker 6>twenty one runs. They've been outscored by twenty nine runs.

543
00:26:09.680 --> 00:26:12.200
<v Speaker 6>And if you start to look at runners in scoring position,

544
00:26:12.680 --> 00:26:15.880
<v Speaker 6>the Dodgers are seven for thirty nine. That sounds pretty good,

545
00:26:16.240 --> 00:26:19.920
<v Speaker 6>except Arizona is fourteen for thirty two. Most of that

546
00:26:20.559 --> 00:26:25.480
<v Speaker 6>was in yesterday's game where, quite frankly, Arizona hit everything.

547
00:26:25.599 --> 00:26:27.160
<v Speaker 6>It was like batting practice to them.

548
00:26:27.480 --> 00:26:29.519
<v Speaker 11>When you look at those first three games, do you

549
00:26:29.519 --> 00:26:31.759
<v Speaker 11>feel like that trend is going to continue today?

550
00:26:31.799 --> 00:26:33.240
<v Speaker 5>If you're the Dodgers, you hope not.

551
00:26:33.440 --> 00:26:35.519
<v Speaker 6>No, it's going to end, because what a breath of

552
00:26:35.559 --> 00:26:37.880
<v Speaker 6>fresh air. Jack Fulerty has been since he has joined

553
00:26:37.880 --> 00:26:41.839
<v Speaker 6>this Dodger ball club, and he puts another wrinkle into

554
00:26:41.880 --> 00:26:44.480
<v Speaker 6>the mix as far as the starting rotation, because if

555
00:26:44.480 --> 00:26:47.480
<v Speaker 6>you look at the starters, you know who's available on

556
00:26:47.839 --> 00:26:51.359
<v Speaker 6>any given night. And the bottom line has been with

557
00:26:51.480 --> 00:26:54.079
<v Speaker 6>the excessive use of the bullpen as a result of

558
00:26:54.160 --> 00:26:56.119
<v Speaker 6>not knowing who's going to be in the starting rotation,

559
00:26:56.519 --> 00:26:59.279
<v Speaker 6>and then the starters by and large have not really

560
00:26:59.319 --> 00:27:00.640
<v Speaker 6>gone deep into the ballgames.

561
00:27:00.880 --> 00:27:03.880
<v Speaker 11>Jack Flaherty, like you said, Rick, he's been a necessity.

562
00:27:03.960 --> 00:27:06.200
<v Speaker 11>He's not a luxury with the way he's pitched.

563
00:27:06.240 --> 00:27:09.400
<v Speaker 6>Absolutely, you go back to the thirtieth of May, the

564
00:27:09.440 --> 00:27:12.000
<v Speaker 6>thirteen starts at Flaherty has had. He's nine and two.

565
00:27:12.039 --> 00:27:15.039
<v Speaker 6>That's tied for third best in Major League Baseball in

566
00:27:15.079 --> 00:27:15.799
<v Speaker 6>that period of time.

567
00:27:15.960 --> 00:27:18.720
<v Speaker 11>Here's something you could help us understand, Rick. You can't

568
00:27:18.799 --> 00:27:22.039
<v Speaker 11>hear from one side that the bullpen is fatigue been

569
00:27:22.200 --> 00:27:24.720
<v Speaker 11>used a lot and then not allow your starter to

570
00:27:24.759 --> 00:27:27.319
<v Speaker 11>go deeper in the game if he's pitching that way.

571
00:27:27.680 --> 00:27:30.599
<v Speaker 11>Do you feel like today Dave Roberts is going to

572
00:27:30.880 --> 00:27:34.519
<v Speaker 11>allow Jack Flaherty to go as deep as he possibly can.

573
00:27:34.839 --> 00:27:35.880
<v Speaker 5>I couldn't tell you.

574
00:27:36.640 --> 00:27:39.200
<v Speaker 6>I don't know. We're around I say this often, We're

575
00:27:39.279 --> 00:27:43.000
<v Speaker 6>around the team a lot every day. But unless you're

576
00:27:43.000 --> 00:27:46.279
<v Speaker 6>in that locker room, and unless you're in that dugout before, during,

577
00:27:46.359 --> 00:27:49.359
<v Speaker 6>and after games, you don't really know what's going on

578
00:27:49.400 --> 00:27:50.160
<v Speaker 6>with that ballpark.

579
00:27:50.680 --> 00:27:52.759
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, we'll see whether or not the Dodgers can get

580
00:27:52.759 --> 00:27:55.039
<v Speaker 11>this win. I feel like it will be a happy flight.

581
00:27:55.119 --> 00:27:57.079
<v Speaker 6>Rick mondaye oh no, no, don't feel like it.

582
00:27:57.359 --> 00:27:58.680

<v Speaker 1>Or and now what will likely be vess a fielding

608
00:29:09.960 --> 00:29:11.680
<v Speaker 1>insults from a Dodger player.

609
00:29:11.759 --> 00:29:13.000
<v Speaker 3>It's an engagement of endearment.

610
00:29:13.079 --> 00:29:14.920
<v Speaker 1>This is high and tight.

611
00:29:15.759 --> 00:29:18.119
<v Speaker 11>We're joined right now and by one of my favorite people.

612
00:29:18.160 --> 00:29:20.359
<v Speaker 11>He was such a big part of Dave Roberts' staff

613
00:29:20.400 --> 00:29:24.279
<v Speaker 11>when the Dodgers we're going to nlcs's and World Series.

614
00:29:24.480 --> 00:29:27.319
<v Speaker 11>He went on to manage the Rangers, and thankfully he

615
00:29:27.480 --> 00:29:30.559
<v Speaker 11>is back in the Dodger organization with that beautiful bald

616
00:29:30.599 --> 00:29:32.720
<v Speaker 11>head and that clean shaven beard.

617
00:29:32.839 --> 00:29:35.240
<v Speaker 5>That's the one and only Chris Woodward. What he thinks

618
00:29:35.279 --> 00:29:35.960
<v Speaker 5>a lot for the time.

619
00:29:36.039 --> 00:29:38.880
<v Speaker 11>Appreciate it absolutely, always a pleasure, brother hey Man. Always

620
00:29:38.880 --> 00:29:40.720
<v Speaker 11>great to see you out here. You have so much

621
00:29:40.759 --> 00:29:44.000
<v Speaker 11>to offer. What's the first three games of this series

622
00:29:44.279 --> 00:29:45.640
<v Speaker 11>shown you about this team?

623
00:29:45.799 --> 00:29:47.759
<v Speaker 8>You know what, this team that we're playing obviously has

624
00:29:47.759 --> 00:29:49.720
<v Speaker 8>a lot of fight. You know, they've played together, they

625
00:29:49.720 --> 00:29:51.359
<v Speaker 8>do a lot of things really well, they play the game.

626
00:29:51.440 --> 00:29:54.720
<v Speaker 8>So it's actually been a test for us. Obviously, with

627
00:29:54.799 --> 00:29:57.319
<v Speaker 8>Curse going down after that first inning, kind of put

628
00:29:57.319 --> 00:29:59.000
<v Speaker 8>our backs against the wall and the pitch his staff,

629
00:29:59.000 --> 00:30:01.119
<v Speaker 8>and you know, thankfully we got some horses down to

630
00:30:01.160 --> 00:30:04.200
<v Speaker 8>that bullpen that took the ball and honestly pitched when

631
00:30:04.319 --> 00:30:06.559
<v Speaker 8>they probably weren't supposed to and didn't you know, weren't

632
00:30:06.559 --> 00:30:09.519
<v Speaker 8>really ready to pitch based on how they had pitched

633
00:30:09.559 --> 00:30:11.920
<v Speaker 8>so many games before that. So it honestly took a

634
00:30:11.920 --> 00:30:14.720
<v Speaker 8>team effort for the first two games, and somehow we

635
00:30:14.759 --> 00:30:15.640
<v Speaker 8>came away with two wins.

636
00:30:15.680 --> 00:30:17.119
<v Speaker 12>Our offense put a bunch of runs on the.

637
00:30:17.039 --> 00:30:18.799
<v Speaker 8>Board, and it was really cool to see the fight

638
00:30:18.839 --> 00:30:21.440
<v Speaker 8>in this team against a team that's like they're not

639
00:30:21.480 --> 00:30:23.400
<v Speaker 8>scared of us at all, which I kind of like,

640
00:30:23.480 --> 00:30:26.440
<v Speaker 8>it's good for our team. But yesterday, obviously we'll put

641
00:30:26.440 --> 00:30:28.079
<v Speaker 8>that one aside and we have a chance to win

642
00:30:28.119 --> 00:30:29.279
<v Speaker 8>three out of four in a huge.

643
00:30:29.079 --> 00:30:29.799
<v Speaker 12>Series for us.

644
00:30:30.000 --> 00:30:32.759
<v Speaker 11>You're a great person to ask this question, obviously, with

645
00:30:32.920 --> 00:30:36.279
<v Speaker 11>where the pitching staff was the last two days. How

646
00:30:36.319 --> 00:30:39.279
<v Speaker 11>tough is it to swallow a game like yesterday where

647
00:30:39.279 --> 00:30:42.160
<v Speaker 11>you're handcuffed on who you can use and live to

648
00:30:42.279 --> 00:30:42.960
<v Speaker 11>fight today.

649
00:30:43.279 --> 00:30:45.519
<v Speaker 8>I think the one thing that we're really really good at.

650
00:30:45.559 --> 00:30:48.279
<v Speaker 8>Obviously we have really good pitching, and we have good pitchers,

651
00:30:49.160 --> 00:30:52.240
<v Speaker 8>but I think our staff, you know, Doc and Mark

652
00:30:52.319 --> 00:30:54.519
<v Speaker 8>and Connor and Bartow and the bullpen do a great

653
00:30:54.599 --> 00:30:55.759
<v Speaker 8>job of keeping.

654
00:30:55.480 --> 00:30:56.160
<v Speaker 5>Our guys healthy.

655
00:30:56.839 --> 00:30:59.519
<v Speaker 8>It's a little it's a lot undervalued obviously in the

656
00:30:59.559 --> 00:31:01.880
<v Speaker 8>league or a lot of teams feel like they have

657
00:31:01.960 --> 00:31:04.680
<v Speaker 8>to fight to win every game and use their best

658
00:31:04.680 --> 00:31:07.480
<v Speaker 8>pitchers no matter what. Where we're not afraid to say, okay,

659
00:31:07.519 --> 00:31:11.440
<v Speaker 8>we're We're almost willing to sacrifice the win for the

660
00:31:11.440 --> 00:31:13.319
<v Speaker 8>betterment of our team long term. And I think that,

661
00:31:13.400 --> 00:31:15.640
<v Speaker 8>you know, come playoff time, everybody's gotta you know, said

662
00:31:15.720 --> 00:31:18.000
<v Speaker 8>later in this month, it's all hands on deck. You

663
00:31:18.079 --> 00:31:19.759
<v Speaker 8>might have to pitch seven in a row, who knows.

664
00:31:19.799 --> 00:31:21.920
<v Speaker 8>But like for the long term of one hundred and

665
00:31:21.960 --> 00:31:25.279
<v Speaker 8>sixty two games, it's hard to not buy into or

666
00:31:25.799 --> 00:31:28.359
<v Speaker 8>be tempted into using guys, you know, when they pitch

667
00:31:28.400 --> 00:31:30.440
<v Speaker 8>three out of four or two out of three and

668
00:31:30.480 --> 00:31:32.880
<v Speaker 8>you end up, you know, making that guy obviously not

669
00:31:32.920 --> 00:31:34.839
<v Speaker 8>have a great outing and with less stuff, but you

670
00:31:34.920 --> 00:31:35.960
<v Speaker 8>potentially get guys hurt.

671
00:31:35.960 --> 00:31:38.079
<v Speaker 12>And I see that happen a lot throughout the league.

672
00:31:38.240 --> 00:31:38.839
<v Speaker 12>We don't do that.

673
00:31:39.079 --> 00:31:40.720
<v Speaker 8>We refuse to do that with our pitchers. And I

674
00:31:40.759 --> 00:31:43.079
<v Speaker 8>love that about us because obviously that's why I feel

675
00:31:43.119 --> 00:31:45.359
<v Speaker 8>like we maximize. We put guys in. Hey, we're using

676
00:31:45.400 --> 00:31:48.359
<v Speaker 8>these guys today no matter what, like we're not using

677
00:31:48.400 --> 00:31:50.880
<v Speaker 8>those guys, And I think that that's honestly a great

678
00:31:50.920 --> 00:31:53.000
<v Speaker 8>quality of this organization. Like I said, come in the

679
00:31:53.039 --> 00:31:55.160
<v Speaker 8>middle of this month, it doesn't matter if you have

680
00:31:55.200 --> 00:31:56.279
<v Speaker 8>to pitch five in a row. You have to pitch

681
00:31:56.319 --> 00:31:57.480
<v Speaker 8>five in a row. You need to get into the

682
00:31:57.480 --> 00:31:59.960
<v Speaker 8>playoffs and the playoffs start. It's all hands on deck

683
00:32:00.039 --> 00:32:02.799
<v Speaker 8>and everybody knows that. But up to that point, I

684
00:32:02.839 --> 00:32:04.799
<v Speaker 8>think we do the best job in baseball.

685
00:32:04.400 --> 00:32:08.319
<v Speaker 11>At Chris Woodward is our guest. And Chris, like I mentioned,

686
00:32:08.559 --> 00:32:12.400
<v Speaker 11>you were coaching third base for some really special players

687
00:32:12.440 --> 00:32:15.759
<v Speaker 11>in a special time of Dodger baseball. Do you feel

688
00:32:15.799 --> 00:32:19.759
<v Speaker 11>like this group is starting to resemble that attitude of

689
00:32:19.799 --> 00:32:20.440
<v Speaker 11>those teams.

690
00:32:20.640 --> 00:32:23.119
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, you know what, Like I told shohey the other night,

691
00:32:23.160 --> 00:32:24.880
<v Speaker 8>and I know he's the greatest player on the planet,

692
00:32:24.920 --> 00:32:27.200
<v Speaker 8>but like for him to square around a bunt, yeah,

693
00:32:27.240 --> 00:32:29.599
<v Speaker 8>I thought that that was very indigative of like, our

694
00:32:29.640 --> 00:32:32.200
<v Speaker 8>team is a team, you know, our best player who's

695
00:32:32.240 --> 00:32:36.000
<v Speaker 8>obviously chasing history, maybe to something that had never been

696
00:32:36.079 --> 00:32:38.599
<v Speaker 8>done before in the history of the game. He took

697
00:32:38.680 --> 00:32:41.599
<v Speaker 8>one less opportunity to hit a homer potentially.

698
00:32:41.680 --> 00:32:44.000
<v Speaker 12>And do something for the sacrifice of a team.

699
00:32:43.839 --> 00:32:45.319
<v Speaker 8>To say, hey, I'm gonna get on basis for us,

700
00:32:45.319 --> 00:32:46.920
<v Speaker 8>it's the top of the eighth ning, we're ty game,

701
00:32:46.920 --> 00:32:49.400
<v Speaker 8>it's a huge series, and he saw the third basement

702
00:32:49.440 --> 00:32:51.839
<v Speaker 8>back and thought, maybe actually get on base by a bunt.

703
00:32:52.160 --> 00:32:53.720
<v Speaker 8>I don't really want him to bunt, and I don't

704
00:32:53.720 --> 00:32:55.920
<v Speaker 8>think Doc does either, but at the same time, like

705
00:32:55.960 --> 00:32:58.160
<v Speaker 8>for him to actually think about that tells me teams

706
00:32:58.160 --> 00:33:00.720
<v Speaker 8>on his mind and not personal actly, And if everybody

707
00:33:00.799 --> 00:33:04.440
<v Speaker 8>kind of adopts that mentality, we will win. And you know,

708
00:33:04.480 --> 00:33:07.319
<v Speaker 8>obviously that's probably our biggest task of just like everybody

709
00:33:07.359 --> 00:33:10.079
<v Speaker 8>coming together for the common.

710
00:33:09.759 --> 00:33:12.039
<v Speaker 12>Goal of just winning a championship. And if we do that,

711
00:33:12.240 --> 00:33:12.839
<v Speaker 12>we will win.

712
00:33:13.319 --> 00:33:15.759
<v Speaker 11>Speaking of show, hey O Tani being on the same

713
00:33:15.880 --> 00:33:19.480
<v Speaker 11>side as he is instead of going against him. What's

714
00:33:19.480 --> 00:33:21.960
<v Speaker 11>it like from your vantage point watching what he's done

715
00:33:22.359 --> 00:33:22.960
<v Speaker 11>this season.

716
00:33:23.400 --> 00:33:24.359
<v Speaker 12>I'm thankful that I'm not.

717
00:33:25.119 --> 00:33:26.920
<v Speaker 8>I was in awe of him, you know, watching him

718
00:33:26.920 --> 00:33:29.880
<v Speaker 8>from the other side because he you know, we actually

719
00:33:29.920 --> 00:33:31.440
<v Speaker 8>hit him pretty good when I was in Texas, but

720
00:33:31.759 --> 00:33:34.200
<v Speaker 8>he had some monster games against us, and I was just,

721
00:33:34.279 --> 00:33:35.720
<v Speaker 8>you know, in awe of what he could.

722
00:33:35.480 --> 00:33:37.359
<v Speaker 12>Do, you know, on the baseball field.

723
00:33:37.559 --> 00:33:39.039
<v Speaker 8>But just getting to know him a little bit and

724
00:33:39.079 --> 00:33:41.519
<v Speaker 8>seeing how, you know, how much he prepares, how much

725
00:33:41.519 --> 00:33:44.160
<v Speaker 8>he cares about the game, how respectful he is to

726
00:33:44.279 --> 00:33:47.039
<v Speaker 8>the game, the way he plays it, how hard he

727
00:33:47.039 --> 00:33:50.200
<v Speaker 8>plays it, the way he's really adopted a lot of things,

728
00:33:50.200 --> 00:33:52.400
<v Speaker 8>like understanding how to run the bases better, how to

729
00:33:52.519 --> 00:33:56.480
<v Speaker 8>bake steel bases. It's just been impressive for me, obviously

730
00:33:56.480 --> 00:34:01.000
<v Speaker 8>adopting our offensive kind of philosophy, understanding how important strike

731
00:34:01.039 --> 00:34:01.440
<v Speaker 8>z own is.

732
00:34:02.039 --> 00:34:04.599
<v Speaker 12>He still obviously swings, but at the same time.

733
00:34:04.440 --> 00:34:07.000
<v Speaker 8>He is He's improved a lot, in my opinion, and

734
00:34:07.079 --> 00:34:08.800
<v Speaker 8>it has a lot to do with just his mindset

735
00:34:08.800 --> 00:34:09.800
<v Speaker 8>and his ability to learn.

736
00:34:10.159 --> 00:34:12.639
<v Speaker 11>How much do you believe he is thriving in this

737
00:34:12.760 --> 00:34:13.960
<v Speaker 11>competitive environment.

738
00:34:14.079 --> 00:34:14.519
<v Speaker 5>He loves it.

739
00:34:14.599 --> 00:34:16.519
<v Speaker 8>I saw it in the WBC and listen, we've never

740
00:34:16.519 --> 00:34:19.559
<v Speaker 8>seen show Hey in the playoffs. It's something that like

741
00:34:19.719 --> 00:34:22.760
<v Speaker 8>unfortunately fans have been you know, haven't had a chance

742
00:34:22.800 --> 00:34:23.920
<v Speaker 8>to see.

743
00:34:24.440 --> 00:34:27.519
<v Speaker 12>We will see it, obviously. I can't wait because I

744
00:34:27.519 --> 00:34:31.320
<v Speaker 12>think that this guy's got the DNA of a champion.

745
00:34:31.480 --> 00:34:33.519
<v Speaker 8>Like obviously, but like when I saw him in the

746
00:34:33.599 --> 00:34:36.400
<v Speaker 8>WBC in the beginning of a season, hasn't the season

747
00:34:36.400 --> 00:34:39.039
<v Speaker 8>hadn't even started yet, and he's fired. You know, He's

748
00:34:39.280 --> 00:34:41.119
<v Speaker 8>going up against Trout and you could tell how much

749
00:34:41.159 --> 00:34:43.840
<v Speaker 8>he loved that environment. I just can't wait to see

750
00:34:43.880 --> 00:34:46.519

790
00:36:32.760 --> 00:36:34.679

<v Speaker 2>five h six ERA thirty one year old left hander

792
00:36:37.400 --> 00:36:40.159

793
00:36:40.840 --> 00:36:43.199
<v Speaker 2>The Dodgers tried to trade for him when he was

794
00:36:43.239 --> 00:36:46.639
<v Speaker 2>in Detroit, and he wouldn't waive his no trade clause

795
00:36:46.719 --> 00:36:48.679
<v Speaker 2>and didn't want to sign an extension with the Dodgers

796
00:36:48.679 --> 00:36:50.440
<v Speaker 2>because he didn't want to play out West.

797
00:36:50.800 --> 00:36:52.800
<v Speaker 3>But yet he's playing for the Diamondbacks.

798
00:36:53.039 --> 00:36:54.840
<v Speaker 2>He's in his ninth season out in the big leagues,

799

00:38:45.000 --> 00:38:45.960
<v Speaker 3>Tim never guess.

838
00:38:46.320 --> 00:38:48.760
<v Speaker 4>Tim, Thanks again, We're getting you ready for the first pitcher.

839
00:38:48.920 --> 00:38:50.960
<v Speaker 5>The fourth and final game of this series.

840
00:38:51.280 --> 00:38:55.920
<v Speaker 4>Dodgers trying to take three of four against the Diamondbacks.

841
00:38:56.320 --> 00:38:58.760
<v Speaker 4>And if they do not, and they split this series,

842
00:38:58.800 --> 00:39:01.360
<v Speaker 4>and the diamond Back would own the tiebreaker. If the

843
00:39:01.360 --> 00:39:04.000
<v Speaker 4>Dodgers win, they would own the tie breaker if it

844
00:39:04.079 --> 00:39:07.360
<v Speaker 4>comes into play. Meantime, Jack flairdy had ten and six

845
00:39:07.480 --> 00:39:09.840
<v Speaker 4>hopes to be the stopper today stopped the bleeding a

846
00:39:09.880 --> 00:39:13.079
<v Speaker 4>little bit from yesterday, a fourteen to three loss to

847
00:39:13.159 --> 00:39:16.800
<v Speaker 4>the Diamondbacks. But Jack Flaird has been very good since

848
00:39:16.920 --> 00:39:19.239
<v Speaker 4>joining the Dodgers. His last time out, it was only

849
00:39:19.239 --> 00:39:21.239
<v Speaker 4>two bad pitches that was the difference in the game.

850
00:39:21.320 --> 00:39:23.400
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, man, home runs here and there. It's given up

851
00:39:23.440 --> 00:39:26.000
<v Speaker 6>twenty one home runs, but most of those are solo blasts.

852
00:39:26.000 --> 00:39:26.719
<v Speaker 5>You start to look.

853
00:39:26.760 --> 00:39:30.239
<v Speaker 6>Since the thirtieth of May, Flarity's made thirteen starts, his

854
00:39:30.320 --> 00:39:32.519
<v Speaker 6>record is nine and two. That's time for third best

855
00:39:32.559 --> 00:39:34.760
<v Speaker 6>in Major League Baseball. The other part, too, is since

856
00:39:34.800 --> 00:39:37.760
<v Speaker 6>coming to the Dodgers, he's had runners in scoring position

857
00:39:38.239 --> 00:39:41.320
<v Speaker 6>is just a one seven batting average against him. That's

858
00:39:41.320 --> 00:39:44.480
<v Speaker 6>when he really buckles down, and with two strikes, less

859
00:39:44.559 --> 00:39:47.239
<v Speaker 6>than a one to seventy batting average against him for

860
00:39:47.280 --> 00:39:48.039
<v Speaker 6>the entire season.

861
00:39:48.280 --> 00:39:52.400
<v Speaker 4>Eduardo Rodriguez going the veteran left hander former Boston Red

862
00:39:52.440 --> 00:39:56.880
<v Speaker 4>Sox lefty Detroit Tiger is lefty was rumored to be

863
00:39:56.920 --> 00:39:59.559
<v Speaker 4>headed to the Dodgers, but he used his veteran status

864
00:39:59.559 --> 00:40:01.719
<v Speaker 4>and is no trade. Claused a veto a deal to

865
00:40:01.880 --> 00:40:04.199
<v Speaker 4>La last year and then ended up signing a four

866
00:40:04.280 --> 00:40:05.440
<v Speaker 4>year deal here in Arizona.

867
00:40:05.519 --> 00:40:08.000
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, thirteen wins last year, but he's had an injury

868
00:40:08.800 --> 00:40:12.360
<v Speaker 6>challenged season this year and if you start to look

869
00:40:12.360 --> 00:40:14.079
<v Speaker 6>at what he's been able to do coming back, this

870
00:40:14.159 --> 00:40:16.639
<v Speaker 6>is only his fifth start after signing that four year,

871
00:40:16.800 --> 00:40:18.800
<v Speaker 6>eighty million dollars contract.

872
00:40:19.039 --> 00:40:22.079
<v Speaker 4>So it's the Dodgers and the Diamondbacks at Water Rodriguez

873
00:40:22.119 --> 00:40:26.719
<v Speaker 4>for the d Backs and Jack Flaherty going for Los Angeles.

874
00:40:26.760 --> 00:40:28.880
<v Speaker 4>We're getting ready for the first pitch here in Arizona.

875
00:40:28.960 --> 00:40:30.719
<v Speaker 3>Jimp all right, first pitch coming up.

876
00:40:30.760 --> 00:40:35.039
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers looking to get the series win in Arizona, extend

877
00:40:35.079 --> 00:40:36.639
<v Speaker 2>that lead and division over the Snakes.

878
00:40:36.679 --> 00:40:39.480
<v Speaker 3>Meanwhile, the Padres also five games back. They're playing host

879
00:40:39.519 --> 00:40:41.519
<v Speaker 3>of the Tigers. That game will get underway in a

880
00:40:41.559 --> 00:40:43.679
<v Speaker 3>couple of hours from Petco Park.

881
00:40:43.800 --> 00:40:46.159
<v Speaker 2>But Dodgers need to take care of business here in

882
00:40:46.239 --> 00:40:49.639
<v Speaker 2>early September as they take on the Diamondbacks one final

883
00:40:49.719 --> 00:40:52.280
<v Speaker 2>time here in the regular season. Both teams have won

884
00:40:52.599 --> 00:40:56.000
<v Speaker 2>six head to head meetings. This is game thirteen between

885
00:40:56.039 --> 00:40:58.639
<v Speaker 2>these two. Who will win the season series. We'll find

886
00:40:58.679 --> 00:41:02.039
<v Speaker 2>out Dodgers diamond back to a water Rodriguez and Jack Flarry.

887
00:41:02.079 --> 00:41:03.760
<v Speaker 3>The pitching matchup, I'm Tim Kates has been

888
00:41:03.800 --> 00:41:05.360
<v Speaker 2>Wrong because you know Dodgers on deck on the Los
