00:00:52.399 --> 00:00:55.320
<v Speaker 2>get to. We're gonna hear from the manager himself, Dave Roberts.

20
00:00:55.320 --> 00:00:57.920
<v Speaker 2>How's this team feeling after those two games in Tokyo

21
00:00:57.960 --> 00:01:00.399
<v Speaker 2>and getting ready for the home opener on Thursday, we'll

22
00:01:00.439 --> 00:01:03.359
<v Speaker 2>dive deeper into this pitching matchup. David va segoes one

23
00:01:03.399 --> 00:01:06.359
<v Speaker 2>on one with reliever Kirby Yeates. We've got your Dodgers

24
00:01:06.439 --> 00:01:09.920
<v Speaker 2>magical moment, and shortly we'll check in with Kirsten Watson

25
00:01:10.079 --> 00:01:11.640
<v Speaker 2>and of course, in just a few minutes we'll head

26
00:01:11.640 --> 00:01:14.040
<v Speaker 2>out to the Gallpin Motors broadcast booth. And here from

27
00:01:14.200 --> 00:01:18.719
<v Speaker 2>Charlie Steiner and Rick Monday. The Dodgers back home safe

28
00:01:18.799 --> 00:01:21.959
<v Speaker 2>and sound after a wonderful trip to Japan that saw

29
00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:25.719
<v Speaker 2>them take two against the Cubs in Tokyo. They won

30
00:01:25.760 --> 00:01:27.920
<v Speaker 2>the first game four to one on Wednesday. In the

31
00:01:27.959 --> 00:01:31.400
<v Speaker 2>second game, it was the Dodger debut of Roki Sasaki.

32
00:01:31.640 --> 00:01:34.040
<v Speaker 2>The young right hander win three innings, allowed one run

33
00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:37.159
<v Speaker 2>on three hits, truck out three, walked five. Got himself

34
00:01:37.159 --> 00:01:39.200
<v Speaker 2>into some trouble in the second a ground ball double

35
00:01:39.200 --> 00:01:41.920
<v Speaker 2>play got out of that, and then after loading the bases,

36
00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:43.719
<v Speaker 2>he got back to back strikeouts to get out of

37
00:01:43.760 --> 00:01:46.120
<v Speaker 2>the third inning, allowing just one run. The Dodgers z

38
00:01:46.359 --> 00:01:48.239
<v Speaker 2>were able to get on the board early. They scored

39
00:01:48.239 --> 00:01:50.519
<v Speaker 2>two in the second. Will Smith scored on a pass ball.

40
00:01:50.799 --> 00:01:53.439
<v Speaker 2>Keik A Hernettez a sack fly his first RBI of

41
00:01:53.480 --> 00:01:55.480
<v Speaker 2>the year, and the Dodgers were up two to nothing.

42
00:01:55.719 --> 00:01:58.079
<v Speaker 2>Then the top of the third, Tommy Edmund hit the

43
00:01:58.120 --> 00:01:59.959
<v Speaker 2>first home run in twenty twenty five.

44
00:02:00.519 --> 00:02:01.879
<v Speaker 4>Payoff pitch from Steel.

45
00:02:02.519 --> 00:02:05.239
<v Speaker 5>This one has swung on well, hit to left, toward

46
00:02:05.319 --> 00:02:08.039
<v Speaker 5>the corner. It goes hit is pack it has gone.

47
00:02:08.240 --> 00:02:11.280
<v Speaker 5>It's a home run Tommy Edmund as he hits his

48
00:02:11.439 --> 00:02:15.280
<v Speaker 5>first tank of the year. It's three nothing Dodgers. A

49
00:02:15.400 --> 00:02:16.960
<v Speaker 5>solo shot for Edmund.

50
00:02:17.479 --> 00:02:21.080
<v Speaker 2>Tommy Edmund goes deep. Three nothing Dodgers lead. The one

51
00:02:21.159 --> 00:02:24.080
<v Speaker 2>run that Rokie Sazaki came up came in the bottom

52
00:02:24.159 --> 00:02:26.360
<v Speaker 2>half of the third inning. He walked Kyle Tucker with

53
00:02:26.400 --> 00:02:29.039
<v Speaker 2>the bases loaded. When the command was starting to get

54
00:02:29.080 --> 00:02:32.000
<v Speaker 2>away from Rokie Suzaki, he went to three innings, turned

55
00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:34.400
<v Speaker 2>it over to the bullpen. Dodgers were up three to

56
00:02:34.520 --> 00:02:39.319
<v Speaker 2>one in the fourth when keik Hernandez unloaded.

57
00:02:39.039 --> 00:02:43.000
<v Speaker 5>Two two, swung on and hammered deep left field.

58
00:02:43.240 --> 00:02:45.120
<v Speaker 1>Way packing gone.

59
00:02:45.280 --> 00:02:49.919
<v Speaker 5>Key k Hernandez with a two run home run, five

60
00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:50.400
<v Speaker 5>to one.

61
00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:51.120
<v Speaker 4>Dodgers.

62
00:02:51.800 --> 00:02:54.560
<v Speaker 5>Oh, that was an absolute, no doubt or off the

63
00:02:54.599 --> 00:02:57.479
<v Speaker 5>bat of Key k Hernandez as that was way up

64
00:02:57.840 --> 00:02:59.759
<v Speaker 5>in the left field bleachers.

65
00:02:59.319 --> 00:03:01.360
<v Speaker 2>Two runs shot for a keyk that came in the

66
00:03:01.400 --> 00:03:03.360
<v Speaker 2>fourth Dodgers up five to one, E and a half.

67
00:03:03.400 --> 00:03:06.560
<v Speaker 2>A RBI single on the fourth show, Hey Otani, Yeah,

68
00:03:06.560 --> 00:03:09.680
<v Speaker 2>I heard of him? Home run the fifth bomb that

69
00:03:09.719 --> 00:03:12.400
<v Speaker 2>gave the Dodgers a six to two lead. The Cubs

70
00:03:12.400 --> 00:03:14.560
<v Speaker 2>would come back with an RBI double in the fifth

71
00:03:14.560 --> 00:03:17.719
<v Speaker 2>inning off Jack Dryer, the Dodger reliever Landon ac then

72
00:03:17.759 --> 00:03:20.960
<v Speaker 2>two shutout Indians Kirby Yates a scoreless inning, and Alex

73
00:03:21.039 --> 00:03:24.000
<v Speaker 2>Vessio came in to get the save. Dodgers beat the

74
00:03:24.039 --> 00:03:26.840
<v Speaker 2>Cubs six to three in front of forty two thousand,

75
00:03:26.960 --> 00:03:29.759
<v Speaker 2>three hundred and sixty seven and a sold out Tokyo

76
00:03:29.840 --> 00:03:32.400
<v Speaker 2>Dome in Japan as a Dodger start off the year

77
00:03:32.439 --> 00:03:35.000
<v Speaker 2>two to zero. In twenty twenty five, after a few

78
00:03:35.080 --> 00:03:39.120
<v Speaker 2>days off back home a three game exhibition freeway series

79
00:03:39.159 --> 00:03:41.560
<v Speaker 2>against the Anaheim Angels with more, let's head out to

80
00:03:41.599 --> 00:03:44.400
<v Speaker 2>the Gallpin Motors Broadcast booth as we say hello and

81
00:03:44.479 --> 00:03:48.000
<v Speaker 2>welcome in Charlie Steiner and Rick Monday, guys.

82
00:03:48.159 --> 00:03:51.719
<v Speaker 6>So the Dodgers return home from Tokyo on Wednesday night.

83
00:03:51.879 --> 00:03:56.599
<v Speaker 6>Here it is early Sunday evening Dodgers and the Angels

84
00:03:57.039 --> 00:04:00.400
<v Speaker 6>in the first of the three game mini series as

85
00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:04.680
<v Speaker 6>we get ready for Opening Day on Thursday, beautiful night

86
00:04:04.759 --> 00:04:09.400
<v Speaker 6>for baseball here at Dodgers Stadium, and the Dodgers, of course,

87
00:04:09.439 --> 00:04:13.879
<v Speaker 6>the defending world champions, feeling awfully good about themselves. A

88
00:04:13.879 --> 00:04:17.959
<v Speaker 6>successful road trip, and the Dodgers are not just the

89
00:04:18.040 --> 00:04:20.920
<v Speaker 6>champions of Major League Baseball based on what we saw

90
00:04:21.560 --> 00:04:24.600
<v Speaker 6>in Tokyo, they're the champions of baseball period.

91
00:04:24.759 --> 00:04:25.959
<v Speaker 4>Well it seems to be that way.

92
00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:29.040
<v Speaker 7>First of all, it's great to see you. You and

93
00:04:29.160 --> 00:04:31.360
<v Speaker 7>I had a chance to bond yesterday, and it's good

94
00:04:31.399 --> 00:04:34.600
<v Speaker 7>to have you right alongside and welcome Backcodder.

95
00:04:34.639 --> 00:04:36.800
<v Speaker 4>On that end up, I agree one hundred percent. And

96
00:04:36.879 --> 00:04:37.920
<v Speaker 4>I have said that.

97
00:04:37.720 --> 00:04:41.639
<v Speaker 7>That series in Tokyo in Japan itself was a terrific

98
00:04:41.680 --> 00:04:44.560
<v Speaker 7>platform for the defending world champion Dodgers, and I think

99
00:04:44.600 --> 00:04:48.680
<v Speaker 7>even more so, probably a wonderful platform for Major League Baseball.

100
00:04:48.720 --> 00:04:51.199
<v Speaker 7>The reception was off the charts, that the games were

101
00:04:51.199 --> 00:04:54.040
<v Speaker 7>off the charts, and now the ball club has come back.

102
00:04:54.079 --> 00:04:56.600
<v Speaker 7>They got rid of a jet lag, they made some adjustments,

103
00:04:56.920 --> 00:05:01.519
<v Speaker 7>and there's also been some new elements added to Dodgers steadium,

104
00:05:01.600 --> 00:05:02.560
<v Speaker 7>new locker rooms.

105
00:05:02.600 --> 00:05:03.120
<v Speaker 4>We've had a.

106
00:05:03.079 --> 00:05:05.800
<v Speaker 7>Glimpse of that, and it's nice to be back home,

107
00:05:05.879 --> 00:05:07.639
<v Speaker 7>and it's nice to have you back home.

108
00:05:07.800 --> 00:05:13.199
<v Speaker 6>Be it ever so humble, It truly is your takeaway from.

109
00:05:12.879 --> 00:05:13.920
<v Speaker 4>The off season.

110
00:05:14.040 --> 00:05:17.199
<v Speaker 6>You know, as I was watching from Afar, one of

111
00:05:17.240 --> 00:05:20.160
<v Speaker 6>the things I noticed is that the Dodgers fundamentally have

112
00:05:20.319 --> 00:05:23.959
<v Speaker 6>not changed very much on the field. They've got a

113
00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:30.399
<v Speaker 6>fistful of starters, a fistfull of relievers, these guys ninety

114
00:05:30.519 --> 00:05:33.399
<v Speaker 6>last year loaded for bear again. Yeah, Charlie, you and

115
00:05:33.480 --> 00:05:35.839
<v Speaker 6>I have been talking all winter long, and Jude I said,

116
00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:39.040
<v Speaker 6>really in the first broadcast a season ago in spring training,

117
00:05:39.399 --> 00:05:43.319
<v Speaker 6>that the Dodgers were perceived as really the Goliath of baseball.

118
00:05:43.519 --> 00:05:46.360
<v Speaker 6>Well this year in the first broadcast, I said, yeah,

119
00:05:46.399 --> 00:05:50.079
<v Speaker 6>they're again perceived as the Goliath of baseball. And by

120
00:05:50.160 --> 00:05:54.680
<v Speaker 6>the way, in my estimation, Goliath has gotten bigger, stronger.

121
00:05:54.120 --> 00:05:54.639
<v Speaker 4>And better.

122
00:05:55.160 --> 00:05:58.000
<v Speaker 7>And I'm not certain that David's going to appear this year,

123
00:05:58.000 --> 00:06:00.319
<v Speaker 7>but that's on paper. Dodgers still have games that they

124
00:06:00.319 --> 00:06:01.519
<v Speaker 7>have to win on the field.

125
00:06:01.879 --> 00:06:06.279
<v Speaker 6>And the Dodgers, of course have Dave Broughbers back once

126
00:06:06.319 --> 00:06:11.160
<v Speaker 6>again his tenth season. This is without question his team

127
00:06:11.480 --> 00:06:14.600
<v Speaker 6>and they're going about their business. It all begins on

128
00:06:14.720 --> 00:06:17.920
<v Speaker 6>Thursday against the Tigers. So weird to have the opener

129
00:06:18.040 --> 00:06:21.319
<v Speaker 6>at Dodgers Stadium with the Tigers on a Thursday, but

130
00:06:21.439 --> 00:06:23.439
<v Speaker 6>so be it. That's the schedule.

131
00:06:24.639 --> 00:06:25.279
<v Speaker 4>Right now.

132
00:06:25.639 --> 00:06:28.720
<v Speaker 6>Everything is exactly where the Dodgers would like to have it.

133
00:06:28.920 --> 00:06:29.639
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, yeah, I.

134
00:06:29.560 --> 00:06:32.879
<v Speaker 7>Think that if I'm reading the tea leaves the right way,

135
00:06:32.920 --> 00:06:34.800
<v Speaker 7>this is a Dodger ball club. Yes, they have a

136
00:06:34.800 --> 00:06:38.240
<v Speaker 7>World championship underneath their belts, but I just sense that

137
00:06:38.279 --> 00:06:41.160
<v Speaker 7>they came to Spring trunning, hungry, hungry to make it

138
00:06:41.240 --> 00:06:44.079
<v Speaker 7>back to back, hungry to understand that there is a

139
00:06:44.160 --> 00:06:45.519
<v Speaker 7>challenge out there every time that.

140
00:06:45.480 --> 00:06:46.040
<v Speaker 4>They go past.

141
00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:49.160
<v Speaker 7>I know Mookie Betts made a comment that every game

142
00:06:49.279 --> 00:06:51.120
<v Speaker 7>that they play against other teams is going to be

143
00:06:51.199 --> 00:06:53.560
<v Speaker 7>like their World Series, the other team's World Series.

144
00:06:53.600 --> 00:06:55.120
<v Speaker 4>Some people got irritated by that.

145
00:06:55.439 --> 00:06:59.439
<v Speaker 7>I thought it was a very realistic statement and understanding

146
00:06:59.519 --> 00:07:03.279
<v Speaker 7>is the Dodgers know on their schedule or the other

147
00:07:03.319 --> 00:07:05.800
<v Speaker 7>clubs know when the Dodgers are scheduled to come into

148
00:07:05.839 --> 00:07:08.560
<v Speaker 7>their homes stadium and play against him. I think this

149
00:07:08.600 --> 00:07:11.680
<v Speaker 7>is a wonderful prelude to a season. Already two games

150
00:07:11.680 --> 00:07:13.680
<v Speaker 7>in the win column. A lot more need to be

151
00:07:13.720 --> 00:07:14.279
<v Speaker 7>added there.

152
00:07:14.319 --> 00:07:17.199
<v Speaker 6>It is two games before everybody else plays.

153
00:07:17.759 --> 00:07:21.160
<v Speaker 7>The Dodgers are in first plays the best reckon in baseball.

<v Speaker 3>you a network.

176
00:08:20.800 --> 00:08:24.439
<v Speaker 1>It is Loronzo Casino, Dodgers on the Dodgers on deck

177
00:08:24.519 --> 00:08:28.120
<v Speaker 1>y'all on the official home of La Dodgers Baseball.

178
00:08:29.120 --> 00:08:33.759
<v Speaker 2>It's the Dodgers and the Angels. The Freeway Series Exhibition

179
00:08:34.000 --> 00:08:36.960
<v Speaker 2>style is. The Dodgers are back home after a two

180
00:08:37.039 --> 00:08:39.240
<v Speaker 2>and zero start to the regular season in the two

181
00:08:39.320 --> 00:08:42.360
<v Speaker 2>games against the Chicago Cubs in Tokyo. After a few

182
00:08:42.440 --> 00:08:44.720
<v Speaker 2>days off, Dodgers back at at the play at Dodger

183
00:08:44.759 --> 00:08:47.879
<v Speaker 2>Stadium tonight and then Tomorrow night and Tuesday night they

184
00:08:47.879 --> 00:08:51.440
<v Speaker 2>are at the Big A and Anaheim. Some lineup shifting.

185
00:08:52.000 --> 00:08:55.120
<v Speaker 2>Mookie Betts was in the lineup originally when it posted

186
00:08:55.120 --> 00:08:58.639
<v Speaker 2>two hours ago, starting at shortstop and batting seconds well.

187
00:08:58.639 --> 00:09:01.720
<v Speaker 2>In the last five minutes, the Dodgers have updated their

188
00:09:01.840 --> 00:09:05.960
<v Speaker 2>lineup and no longer is Mookie Betts starting for the Dodgers.

189
00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:09.799
<v Speaker 2>Miguel Rojas will now play shortstop instead, where he played

190
00:09:09.799 --> 00:09:12.240
<v Speaker 2>for the first two games in Tokyo. So had hoped

191
00:09:12.279 --> 00:09:14.360
<v Speaker 2>to have Mookie Betts back in the lineup. Looks like

192
00:09:14.360 --> 00:09:17.320
<v Speaker 2>it's not gonna happen tonight. In the first game of

193
00:09:17.360 --> 00:09:18.440
<v Speaker 2>this freeway series.

194
00:09:19.360 --> 00:09:26.320
<v Speaker 1>This is the Otani ree Why anytime Jack Dryer continues

195
00:09:26.360 --> 00:09:29.120
<v Speaker 1>to warm up, he's getting ready for his major league debut.

196
00:09:29.720 --> 00:09:31.679
<v Speaker 1>Two two, and Otani hammers one.

197
00:09:32.399 --> 00:09:32.639
<v Speaker 4>Oh.

198
00:09:32.720 --> 00:09:36.000
<v Speaker 5>This ball is well struck, deep bright center, back to

199
00:09:36.080 --> 00:09:36.399
<v Speaker 5>the wall.

200
00:09:36.480 --> 00:09:38.320
<v Speaker 1>That's off the top of the wall.

201
00:09:38.799 --> 00:09:44.159
<v Speaker 5>Otani around first, he's in the second and Kyle Tucker, Well,

202
00:09:44.200 --> 00:09:49.200
<v Speaker 5>they're saying home run. It looked like it came off

203
00:09:49.240 --> 00:09:52.080
<v Speaker 5>the top of the wall initially, but Otani comes around

204
00:09:52.120 --> 00:09:53.840
<v Speaker 5>with his first home run of the season.

205
00:09:54.720 --> 00:09:55.039
<v Speaker 4>Show.

206
00:09:55.159 --> 00:09:58.799
<v Speaker 2>Hey, Otani put on a show in Tokyo, picking up

207
00:09:58.799 --> 00:10:02.080
<v Speaker 2>where he left off last year with the fifty four

208
00:10:02.159 --> 00:10:05.639
<v Speaker 2>home runs in the fifty nine stolen bases. He hits

209
00:10:05.639 --> 00:10:07.919
<v Speaker 2>a home run in the Dodgers' six to three win

210
00:10:08.039 --> 00:10:11.080
<v Speaker 2>over Chicago. Otani, by the way, in the two games

211
00:10:11.120 --> 00:10:13.960
<v Speaker 2>in Tokyo, three for eight, a home run, a double,

212
00:10:14.320 --> 00:10:17.200
<v Speaker 2>two walks, and three runs scored.

213
00:10:17.960 --> 00:10:21.879
<v Speaker 1>This is Kirston's corner with Kirston Watson.

219
00:10:36.559 --> 00:10:40.600
<v Speaker 2>back state side the first of three against the Anaheim Angels,

220
00:10:40.600 --> 00:10:43.840
<v Speaker 2>first up at Dodger Stadium and Kirston Freddie Freeman back

221
00:10:43.840 --> 00:10:44.399
<v Speaker 2>in the lineup.

222
00:10:44.600 --> 00:10:47.159
<v Speaker 9>So he was a late scratch ahead of Game one,

223
00:10:47.639 --> 00:10:51.000
<v Speaker 9>dealing with just some ribsreness on that left side of

224
00:10:51.039 --> 00:10:53.159
<v Speaker 9>his body. And that's the same rib that he was

225
00:10:53.200 --> 00:10:56.120
<v Speaker 9>dealing with in the postseason that we heard about after,

226
00:10:56.320 --> 00:10:58.879
<v Speaker 9>I mean the incredible postseason run that he had. So

227
00:10:58.919 --> 00:11:01.360
<v Speaker 9>he was whether it was the ankle, the rib, he

228
00:11:01.399 --> 00:11:03.159
<v Speaker 9>was dealing with a lot. So to see the success

229
00:11:03.200 --> 00:11:06.080
<v Speaker 9>he had last year was just remarkable. Now this spring,

230
00:11:06.120 --> 00:11:07.879
<v Speaker 9>it seemed like that was a thing of the past.

231
00:11:07.919 --> 00:11:09.879
<v Speaker 9>There was still some focus as he was working through

232
00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:14.519
<v Speaker 9>his ankle was full go heading into Tokyo, But in

233
00:11:14.559 --> 00:11:17.080
<v Speaker 9>that last round of batting practice ahead of Game one,

234
00:11:17.279 --> 00:11:20.120
<v Speaker 9>he just kind of tweaked something. Dave Roberts said today

235
00:11:20.159 --> 00:11:22.679
<v Speaker 9>that they believe it was scar tissue that maybe he

236
00:11:22.759 --> 00:11:25.159
<v Speaker 9>was feeling. He was lobbying to be back out there

237
00:11:25.200 --> 00:11:28.480
<v Speaker 9>for Game two of that Tokyo series. Ultimately, Dave Roberts,

238
00:11:28.559 --> 00:11:30.879
<v Speaker 9>the training staff just said it's not worth it, not

239
00:11:30.960 --> 00:11:33.159
<v Speaker 9>worth in case getting hurt, obviously with the rest of

240
00:11:33.159 --> 00:11:35.720
<v Speaker 9>the regular season coming up, so for him to be

241
00:11:35.759 --> 00:11:38.200
<v Speaker 9>back out there is really good. Dave Roberts said that

242
00:11:38.240 --> 00:11:41.240
<v Speaker 9>he's feeling so much better. He's probably gonna have a

243
00:11:41.279 --> 00:11:44.039
<v Speaker 9>limited outing today, two to three at bats, three to

244
00:11:44.120 --> 00:11:45.799
<v Speaker 9>four innings of defensive work.

245
00:11:45.879 --> 00:11:48.279
<v Speaker 2>How are you feeling here, said body clock back coming

246
00:11:48.279 --> 00:11:48.919
<v Speaker 2>back from Tokio.

247
00:11:48.960 --> 00:11:49.360
<v Speaker 8>Everything good.

248
00:11:49.360 --> 00:11:51.320
<v Speaker 9>A few days after you know that I've talked about

249
00:11:51.360 --> 00:11:54.759
<v Speaker 9>everyone else hanging in there. I will say that is

250
00:11:54.759 --> 00:11:57.120
<v Speaker 9>the number one topic of conversation today. How are you

251
00:11:57.159 --> 00:12:01.679
<v Speaker 9>feeling the jet lag? What's going on for everyone is

252
00:12:01.759 --> 00:12:05.440
<v Speaker 9>slowly but surely getting back on track. Sleep is here

253
00:12:05.480 --> 00:12:08.320
<v Speaker 9>and there those first few days back where we're definitely rough,

254
00:12:08.480 --> 00:12:11.799
<v Speaker 9>but the laundry is done. I have unpacked. That's huge

255
00:12:11.840 --> 00:12:13.960
<v Speaker 9>for me, and here we go.

256
00:12:14.600 --> 00:12:17.080
<v Speaker 2>Routine is what baseball players are all about, and the

257
00:12:17.120 --> 00:12:18.919
<v Speaker 2>fast that they can get back on the routine coming

258
00:12:18.960 --> 00:12:21.440

00:13:46.320 --> 00:13:49.399
<v Speaker 1>Any questions for Dave Dave?

00:13:49.480 --> 00:13:53.240
<v Speaker 4>Can you just describe Dave? Can you talk about the pressure.

288
00:13:53.639 --> 00:13:55.840
<v Speaker 1>In the dugouts with Dave Robbers?

289
00:13:56.840 --> 00:13:59.720
<v Speaker 10>Have you settled on a starter for the home opener

290
00:13:59.759 --> 00:14:01.039
<v Speaker 10>and for the Tiger series?

291
00:14:01.200 --> 00:14:05.159
<v Speaker 11>We have we have It's gonna be Blake Snow and

292
00:14:05.679 --> 00:14:09.360
<v Speaker 11>it's it's great in the sense of Yamamoto starting the

293
00:14:09.519 --> 00:14:13.799
<v Speaker 11>opener in Tokyo, but then Blake getting the opportunity to

294
00:14:14.240 --> 00:14:17.159
<v Speaker 11>start the home opener here at Dodger Stadium, and then

295
00:14:17.200 --> 00:14:21.759
<v Speaker 11>we'll follow it with Yamamoto and then Roki for the

296
00:14:21.960 --> 00:14:23.600
<v Speaker 11>for the last game of the Tiger Series.

297
00:14:23.759 --> 00:14:27.000
<v Speaker 10>That's a pretty good old school pitching matchup between two

298
00:14:27.039 --> 00:14:29.120
<v Speaker 10>cy young winners with school ball and Blake.

299
00:14:29.600 --> 00:14:30.240
<v Speaker 4>It really is.

300
00:14:30.840 --> 00:14:33.480
<v Speaker 11>I think that if you you know, if you look

301
00:14:33.519 --> 00:14:40.399
<v Speaker 11>at Major League Baseball starting pitching, in anyone's math or opinion,

302
00:14:41.200 --> 00:14:43.480
<v Speaker 11>those two are two of the top five pitches in

303
00:14:43.519 --> 00:14:45.960
<v Speaker 11>all of baseball, and so to have them kind of

304
00:14:46.000 --> 00:14:49.080
<v Speaker 11>two South Paul's going against one another's gonna be fun.

305
00:14:49.240 --> 00:14:51.240
<v Speaker 10>What was his reaction when you let him know that

306
00:14:51.399 --> 00:14:52.600
<v Speaker 10>he was going to be that guy?

307
00:14:53.240 --> 00:14:54.039
<v Speaker 4>I think he was.

308
00:14:55.120 --> 00:15:02.039
<v Speaker 11>He was certainly honored, excited. You know, Blake chose to

309
00:15:02.080 --> 00:15:06.240
<v Speaker 11>be a Dodger for various reasons, and you know, for

310
00:15:06.360 --> 00:15:08.679
<v Speaker 11>him to start home opener here at Dodger Stadium, I

311
00:15:08.720 --> 00:15:11.000
<v Speaker 11>think it's just something else that he can add to his,

312
00:15:12.080 --> 00:15:13.320
<v Speaker 11>you know, already great career.

313
00:15:13.840 --> 00:15:16.000
<v Speaker 10>What's the outlook for Evan Phillips.

314
00:15:17.200 --> 00:15:22.279
<v Speaker 11>Evan through yesterday in a live session and look really sharp,

315
00:15:23.000 --> 00:15:28.320
<v Speaker 11>And so the thought is he will either throw tomorrow

316
00:15:28.879 --> 00:15:32.879
<v Speaker 11>or the next day another inning, and he'll be here

317
00:15:32.919 --> 00:15:36.320
<v Speaker 11>for the ring ceremony obviously, and then he'll make his

318
00:15:36.320 --> 00:15:37.159
<v Speaker 11>way to Arizona.

319
00:15:37.320 --> 00:15:40.240
<v Speaker 10>How about Copek since you got back any updates on him?

320
00:15:40.840 --> 00:15:45.120
<v Speaker 11>No, not not really. I think Copek is sort of

321
00:15:45.159 --> 00:15:49.240
<v Speaker 11>in a holding pattern. Don't really know what that means.

322
00:15:49.639 --> 00:15:52.639
<v Speaker 11>There's not a it's not a setback. It's just kind

323
00:15:52.639 --> 00:15:55.960
<v Speaker 11>of where he's at the build up. He's just kind

324
00:15:55.960 --> 00:16:00.320
<v Speaker 11>of been pretty stagnant. I think, I don't know, you know,

325
00:16:00.559 --> 00:16:02.480
<v Speaker 11>what his time of return is.

326
00:16:02.799 --> 00:16:04.879
<v Speaker 2>All right, there's Dave Roberts talking to the media just

327
00:16:04.879 --> 00:16:07.840
<v Speaker 2>a few minutes ago. When we continue here, I'm wronggo Casino,

<v Speaker 10>I accept everybody for who they are.

344
00:16:56.000 --> 00:16:59.600
<v Speaker 1>This is Dodger insider David vas all.

345
00:16:59.600 --> 00:17:03.080
<v Speaker 2>Right, the Mookie Bets scratch from the lineup about fifteen

346
00:17:03.120 --> 00:17:03.559
<v Speaker 2>minutes ago.

347
00:17:03.639 --> 00:17:04.240
<v Speaker 3>What's going on?

348
00:17:04.960 --> 00:17:05.599
<v Speaker 4>I'm not sure.

349
00:17:05.680 --> 00:17:09.000
<v Speaker 10>I saw him out here during the pregame batting practice

350
00:17:09.039 --> 00:17:13.079
<v Speaker 10>and doing his routine with Chris Woodwards, So I'm not

351
00:17:13.240 --> 00:17:16.519
<v Speaker 10>sure what came up where Mookie Bets was not able

352
00:17:16.559 --> 00:17:19.680
<v Speaker 10>to play. But we got that word about thirty minutes ago,

353
00:17:19.880 --> 00:17:22.880
<v Speaker 10>and we'll have to wait and see if the Dodgers

354
00:17:22.920 --> 00:17:26.880
<v Speaker 10>put out some sort of announcement on why he was scratched.

355
00:17:26.920 --> 00:17:29.920
<v Speaker 10>So we'll have to wait and see what the situation is.

356
00:17:29.960 --> 00:17:32.160
<v Speaker 10>But I saw Mooki out here, and I saw him

357
00:17:32.160 --> 00:17:35.440
<v Speaker 10>in the clubhouse. Who knows, but I guess the most

358
00:17:35.480 --> 00:17:38.480
<v Speaker 10>important part is that Mookie Betts is in the starting

359
00:17:38.559 --> 00:17:41.759
<v Speaker 10>lineup on Thursday against the Tigers.

360
00:17:41.200 --> 00:17:41.640
<v Speaker 4>No doubt it.

361
00:17:41.720 --> 00:17:44.319
<v Speaker 2>Speaking of Thursday, we heard your question to Dave Robbers

362
00:17:44.400 --> 00:17:46.720
<v Speaker 2>just a few minutes ago. It's gonna be Blake's now

363
00:17:46.920 --> 00:17:48.000
<v Speaker 2>getting the start on.

364
00:17:47.960 --> 00:17:49.759
<v Speaker 3>The home opener, A big one for him.

365
00:17:50.240 --> 00:17:52.720
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, big, I mean he is the big fish the

366
00:17:52.799 --> 00:17:55.839
<v Speaker 10>Dodgers signed during the off season of all the guys

367
00:17:55.880 --> 00:17:58.920
<v Speaker 10>they signed. He was the biggest and a two time

368
00:17:59.039 --> 00:18:02.400
<v Speaker 10>Cy Young Award win. He wanted this moment. And not

369
00:18:02.480 --> 00:18:05.519
<v Speaker 10>only is it Blake Snell starting for the Dodgers for

370
00:18:05.599 --> 00:18:09.599
<v Speaker 10>the home opener, but we got a rare marquee pitching

371
00:18:09.680 --> 00:18:13.160
<v Speaker 10>matchup that you rarely see in Major League Baseball these days.

372
00:18:13.440 --> 00:18:17.160
<v Speaker 10>The Tigers are throwing out the ragining American League Cy

373
00:18:17.279 --> 00:18:20.160
<v Speaker 10>Young Winner and Krek Schoobel. So you got two of

374
00:18:20.200 --> 00:18:24.240
<v Speaker 10>the best lefties in the game at Dodger Stadium on Thursday.

375
00:18:24.359 --> 00:18:27.680
<v Speaker 10>And here's what Blake Snell said about trying to control

376
00:18:27.839 --> 00:18:30.559
<v Speaker 10>all those butterflies and adrenaline on Thursday.

377
00:18:31.000 --> 00:18:31.400
<v Speaker 4>I don't know.

378
00:18:31.960 --> 00:18:32.480
<v Speaker 12>I don't know how to.

379
00:18:32.920 --> 00:18:33.240
<v Speaker 13>I don't know.

380
00:18:33.519 --> 00:18:35.359
<v Speaker 12>I could say one thing, but it's gonna be different

381
00:18:35.359 --> 00:18:38.559
<v Speaker 12>when I walk out there, I don't I can tell

382
00:18:38.559 --> 00:18:41.160
<v Speaker 12>you I won't be thinking about Scooba at all or

383
00:18:41.240 --> 00:18:46.359
<v Speaker 12>going against him. My only goal be just dominate the own,

384
00:18:47.920 --> 00:18:50.160
<v Speaker 12>get us in the dugout so we can hit. That's

385
00:18:50.200 --> 00:18:50.880
<v Speaker 12>my only goal.

386
00:18:50.960 --> 00:18:51.559
<v Speaker 3>But I don't know.

387
00:18:52.960 --> 00:18:57.720
<v Speaker 12>I would imagine I'll be excited a little nervous, and

388
00:18:57.720 --> 00:19:00.279
<v Speaker 12>then once I get out there, it's just like I

389
00:19:00.359 --> 00:19:02.680
<v Speaker 12>love ghost, I love pitching, and I can't win a

390
00:19:02.759 --> 00:19:03.759
<v Speaker 12>pitch and compete.

391
00:19:04.519 --> 00:19:08.400
<v Speaker 10>Blake Snell threw a simulated game yesterday Tim just as

392
00:19:08.400 --> 00:19:10.160
<v Speaker 10>a final tune up, and he told me that he

393
00:19:10.200 --> 00:19:13.640
<v Speaker 10>started to get better feel for his secondary pitches than

394
00:19:13.680 --> 00:19:15.599
<v Speaker 10>what he had in Tokyo and what.

395
00:19:15.559 --> 00:19:16.799
<v Speaker 3>He had in Arizona.

396
00:19:17.119 --> 00:19:19.480
<v Speaker 10>He's going to need that slider and maybe the most

397
00:19:19.519 --> 00:19:23.160
<v Speaker 10>important pitch to Blake Snell, not only on Thursday, but

398
00:19:23.319 --> 00:19:26.200
<v Speaker 10>this entire season, is his change up.

399
00:19:26.799 --> 00:19:28.799
<v Speaker 3>David is driven by Florida. There's one thing we like.

400
00:19:28.839 --> 00:19:30.839
<v Speaker 2>It's choice is fine yours with the Ford F one

401
00:19:30.920 --> 00:19:34.279
<v Speaker 2>fifty gas hybrid, all electric, tough, this march can only

402
00:19:34.279 --> 00:19:37.000
<v Speaker 2>be called f one fifty all right? Some updates TV,

403
00:19:37.279 --> 00:19:39.039
<v Speaker 2>Evan Phillips, Michael Kopek.

404
00:19:39.200 --> 00:19:39.720
<v Speaker 4>They're hurt.

405
00:19:39.720 --> 00:19:40.839
<v Speaker 3>What's going on with those guys?

406
00:19:41.119 --> 00:19:41.319
<v Speaker 4>Well?

407
00:19:41.319 --> 00:19:44.319
<v Speaker 10>I talked to Evan earlier today in the brand speaking

408
00:19:44.440 --> 00:19:47.839
<v Speaker 10>new Dodger Clubhouse, and he said he's going to throw

409
00:19:48.279 --> 00:19:52.599
<v Speaker 10>to hitters tomorrow at Dodgers Stadium, and he's not going

410
00:19:52.640 --> 00:19:55.880
<v Speaker 10>to be on the opening day roster. Maybe if he

411
00:19:56.319 --> 00:19:59.839
<v Speaker 10>convinces the Dodgers from what they see tomorrow.

412
00:20:00.279 --> 00:20:01.920
<v Speaker 3>But the fact is, when.

413
00:20:01.799 --> 00:20:04.880
<v Speaker 10>You have a torn rotator cuff, it doesn't just all

414
00:20:04.920 --> 00:20:07.880
<v Speaker 10>of a sudden mend itself. Maybe there's some scar tissue

415
00:20:07.920 --> 00:20:12.079
<v Speaker 10>that can help ease the burden of the pain tolerance

416
00:20:12.160 --> 00:20:15.759
<v Speaker 10>of that torn rotator cuff, but it's not just going to.

417
00:20:15.839 --> 00:20:18.160
<v Speaker 1>Get fixed by resting.

418
00:20:18.359 --> 00:20:20.119
<v Speaker 10>So I think he's going to give it a go

419
00:20:20.359 --> 00:20:23.119
<v Speaker 10>for as long as he can go this season, but

420
00:20:23.200 --> 00:20:25.759
<v Speaker 10>certainly something to keep an eye on. As far as

421
00:20:25.799 --> 00:20:29.960
<v Speaker 10>Michael Kopek goes. He's not here, and I believe there's

422
00:20:30.480 --> 00:20:33.400
<v Speaker 10>a good chance you won't see Michael Kopek for at

423
00:20:33.480 --> 00:20:35.240
<v Speaker 10>least the first month of the season.

424
00:20:35.799 --> 00:20:37.119

00:21:43.960 --> 00:21:46.559
<v Speaker 2>been a lot of magical moments at Dodger Stadium, and

445
00:21:46.680 --> 00:21:49.319
<v Speaker 2>last season, well, one of the biggest of them all

446

00:24:15.720 --> 00:24:19.359
<v Speaker 1>and World Series champion Dodger Rick Monday.

485
00:24:19.880 --> 00:24:22.039
<v Speaker 10>Rick, it's great to be back in Los Angeles and

486
00:24:22.200 --> 00:24:25.200
<v Speaker 10>even better to be close to you and Charlie Steiner

487
00:24:25.240 --> 00:24:26.720
<v Speaker 10>for this Freeway series opener.

488
00:24:26.880 --> 00:24:30.160
<v Speaker 7>Well for our buddy Charlie Steiner, welcome back, and we

489
00:24:30.200 --> 00:24:33.160
<v Speaker 7>had lunch yesterday together and we're going to hook him

490
00:24:33.240 --> 00:24:34.680
<v Speaker 7>up and put him into harness tonight.

491
00:24:34.720 --> 00:24:36.039
<v Speaker 4>So that's the good news.

492
00:24:36.480 --> 00:24:39.880
<v Speaker 7>And as we get ready, it's kind of strange you

493
00:24:39.960 --> 00:24:42.680
<v Speaker 7>go to Arizona for spring training and over there you

494
00:24:42.720 --> 00:24:45.880
<v Speaker 7>play nineteen games, then you fly over the pond and

495
00:24:45.960 --> 00:24:49.200
<v Speaker 7>you play two games that count against the Cubs in Tokyo,

496
00:24:49.559 --> 00:24:53.759
<v Speaker 7>which was a sensational series not only for the Dodger's

497
00:24:53.799 --> 00:24:56.279
<v Speaker 7>in exposure, but I think for Major League Baseball, I

498
00:24:56.319 --> 00:24:58.759
<v Speaker 7>thought it was a wonderful, wonderful thing. You were there.

499
00:24:59.480 --> 00:25:03.279
<v Speaker 7>Meanwhile we were hidden in El Segundo. But and then you

500
00:25:03.319 --> 00:25:05.480
<v Speaker 7>come back and you have three more exhibition games, which

501
00:25:05.480 --> 00:25:09.240
<v Speaker 7>I've always said even as a player, that the Freeway

502
00:25:09.400 --> 00:25:14.160
<v Speaker 7>Series Doggers and Angels is a wonderful respite, if you will,

503
00:25:14.279 --> 00:25:17.119
<v Speaker 7>in kind of a dress rehearsal for the regular season.

504
00:25:17.519 --> 00:25:20.039
<v Speaker 7>And I think if you look at last year going

505
00:25:20.079 --> 00:25:22.359
<v Speaker 7>to South Korea and again this year going to Tokyo,

506
00:25:22.440 --> 00:25:25.079
<v Speaker 7>coming back and down having the Freeway Series, it gives

507
00:25:25.079 --> 00:25:27.680
<v Speaker 7>everyone a chance to get back into the swing of

508
00:25:27.759 --> 00:25:32.839
<v Speaker 7>things because during the regular season, baseball becomes very nocturnal

509
00:25:33.119 --> 00:25:35.920
<v Speaker 7>because it's majority night games. So now we're getting back

510
00:25:35.920 --> 00:25:39.279
<v Speaker 7>into that area. But on this side of the pond,

511
00:25:39.480 --> 00:25:43.160
<v Speaker 7>I would say that that series in Tokyo was absolutely terrific.

512
00:25:43.599 --> 00:25:45.640
<v Speaker 4>You were there and your impression.

513
00:25:45.440 --> 00:25:48.079
<v Speaker 10>Well show, hey o Tani, we were all there for him.

514
00:25:48.440 --> 00:25:50.519
<v Speaker 10>I mean, he could be as humble as he wants,

515
00:25:50.519 --> 00:25:54.319
<v Speaker 10>but everybody in that Tokyo Dome, everybody in that country

516
00:25:54.799 --> 00:25:58.160
<v Speaker 10>came out in War number seventeen. And how many players

517
00:25:58.240 --> 00:26:01.599
<v Speaker 10>Rick can perform on the way he did.

518
00:26:01.720 --> 00:26:04.319
<v Speaker 7>Well that's the biggest thing we saw him last year

519
00:26:05.279 --> 00:26:08.680
<v Speaker 7>after unsettling circumstances that took place had nothing to do

520
00:26:08.759 --> 00:26:11.759
<v Speaker 7>with him as far as what he did, and everybody

521
00:26:11.920 --> 00:26:15.200
<v Speaker 7>understands as well documented. For him to be able to

522
00:26:15.240 --> 00:26:18.559
<v Speaker 7>refocus was I thought amazing last year. And for him

523
00:26:18.559 --> 00:26:20.279
<v Speaker 7>to be able to go over there, I mean, he's

524
00:26:20.440 --> 00:26:22.119
<v Speaker 7>he could be the governor, he could be the mayor,

525
00:26:22.119 --> 00:26:25.400
<v Speaker 7>he could be whatever you want to be in Tokyo.

526
00:26:25.440 --> 00:26:27.720
<v Speaker 4>That's a big, big burden, and I thought.

527
00:26:27.519 --> 00:26:31.000
<v Speaker 7>He handled it exceptionally well, to say the least, and

528
00:26:31.119 --> 00:26:33.720
<v Speaker 7>to be able to do it and be able to

529
00:26:33.920 --> 00:26:36.240
<v Speaker 7>at least from the outside looking in, is if he

530
00:26:36.319 --> 00:26:40.400
<v Speaker 7>was able to partition everything away and play the game

531
00:26:40.440 --> 00:26:44.359
<v Speaker 7>of baseball. And when he got to home plate, I say,

532
00:26:44.359 --> 00:26:47.160
<v Speaker 7>many many times. No one leaves their seats during the

533
00:26:47.200 --> 00:26:50.160
<v Speaker 7>regular season. I mentioned a number of times in spring draunning,

534
00:26:50.440 --> 00:26:52.920
<v Speaker 7>no one leaves their seats when Otani's on deck and

535
00:26:53.000 --> 00:26:56.400
<v Speaker 7>about to hit, and that was the case. You could

536
00:26:56.440 --> 00:26:58.720
<v Speaker 7>hear a pin drop when he came to home plate

537
00:26:58.720 --> 00:26:59.240
<v Speaker 7>in Tokyo.

538
00:26:59.519 --> 00:27:03.640
<v Speaker 10>I mean, many players rick the place was filled for him.

539
00:27:04.039 --> 00:27:07.400
<v Speaker 10>They wanted to see him do something special, and he delivered.

540
00:27:07.799 --> 00:27:10.119
<v Speaker 10>He hit a home run. That's what they came to see.

541
00:27:10.440 --> 00:27:13.240
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, they just came to see him. There was one

542
00:27:13.319 --> 00:27:17.440
<v Speaker 7>line that I read in the papers. There was a couple,

543
00:27:18.200 --> 00:27:21.799
<v Speaker 7>a husband and wife. I read the article, and they

544
00:27:21.880 --> 00:27:24.640
<v Speaker 7>had gone to the airport when you guys were flying

545
00:27:24.640 --> 00:27:28.359
<v Speaker 7>in to Japan, into Tokyo, and they said that we

546
00:27:28.559 --> 00:27:32.039
<v Speaker 7>didn't think that we would see Otani, but we wanted

547
00:27:32.079 --> 00:27:34.519
<v Speaker 7>to go to the airport and at least breathe the

548
00:27:34.559 --> 00:27:38.559
<v Speaker 7>same air. Yeah, as he arrived in his native Japan.

549
00:27:38.640 --> 00:27:41.839
<v Speaker 7>So I thought it was just a tremendous series for baseball,

550
00:27:42.880 --> 00:27:44.880
<v Speaker 7>with all the pomp and circumstance. I thought it was

551
00:27:45.000 --> 00:27:49.079
<v Speaker 7>received so so well from what we were able to discern.

552
00:27:49.519 --> 00:27:51.160
<v Speaker 7>You were there in the heat of the moment and

553
00:27:52.119 --> 00:27:53.880
<v Speaker 7>it was just delightful to watch.

554
00:27:54.000 --> 00:27:56.720
<v Speaker 10>And the Dodgers really were in a different weight class

555
00:27:56.799 --> 00:27:59.240
<v Speaker 10>than the Cubs in those first two games.

556
00:27:58.920 --> 00:28:02.000
<v Speaker 7>Without mosting and you hit it right on the nail

557
00:28:02.039 --> 00:28:03.759
<v Speaker 7>on the head. It looked like they were in a

558
00:28:03.759 --> 00:28:06.440
<v Speaker 7>different weight class, at least for that particular moment.

559
00:28:06.519 --> 00:28:07.720
<v Speaker 4>So we get good news.

560
00:28:08.400 --> 00:28:10.960
<v Speaker 7>Freddie Freeman will be in the lineup tonight, although you

561
00:28:11.079 --> 00:28:13.079
<v Speaker 7>found out it would not be for an extended period

562
00:28:13.119 --> 00:28:15.200
<v Speaker 7>of time, nor does it have to be now when.

563
00:28:15.079 --> 00:28:17.720
<v Speaker 10>You talked about dress rehearsal, Rick, isn't that the most

564
00:28:17.720 --> 00:28:19.400
<v Speaker 10>important part of tonight's scheme.

565
00:28:19.759 --> 00:28:23.680
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, that and the fact that we're getting sneak previews

566
00:28:24.240 --> 00:28:28.519
<v Speaker 7>of what just the incredible Janet Marie Smith has been

567
00:28:28.519 --> 00:28:30.839
<v Speaker 7>able to do and the Dodgers were able to do

568
00:28:31.319 --> 00:28:34.680
<v Speaker 7>with new construction, locker rooms on both sides, you've got

569
00:28:34.680 --> 00:28:37.079
<v Speaker 7>a sneak peek. I haven't seen all of it yet.

570
00:28:37.119 --> 00:28:39.440
<v Speaker 7>I haven't seen any of it yet, but we'll get

571
00:28:39.440 --> 00:28:42.039
<v Speaker 7>a glimpse of it. And it's really a great calling

572
00:28:42.119 --> 00:28:45.200
<v Speaker 7>card for what the Dodgers' ownership has done with his

573
00:28:45.279 --> 00:28:47.720
<v Speaker 7>beautiful stadium. It may be the third oldest in Major

574
00:28:47.799 --> 00:28:51.079
<v Speaker 7>League Baseball, but you would not know it coming around

575
00:28:51.599 --> 00:28:53.960
<v Speaker 7>and looking at all aspects of it. By the way,

<v Speaker 2>exhibition Freeways series, Jackson Farris, Jose Soriano, the bitching matchup,

605
00:30:17.720 --> 00:30:21.200
<v Speaker 2>first pitch coming up at five, and now what.

606
00:30:21.279 --> 00:30:24.960
<v Speaker 1>Will likely be veasse fielding insults from a Dodger player.

607
00:30:25.000 --> 00:30:26.279
<v Speaker 3>It's an engagement of endearment.

608
00:30:26.319 --> 00:30:28.200
<v Speaker 1>This is high and tight.

609
00:30:28.960 --> 00:30:31.759
<v Speaker 10>The Dodgers are back home from the first two regular

610
00:30:31.799 --> 00:30:34.480
<v Speaker 10>season games in Tokyo, and we're joined right now by

611
00:30:34.559 --> 00:30:37.839
<v Speaker 10>veteran Dodger reliever, a new member to the Dodger bullpen,

612
00:30:37.960 --> 00:30:41.079
<v Speaker 10>but not a new member to Major League Baseball or

613
00:30:41.119 --> 00:30:43.519
<v Speaker 10>the National League West. That is the one and only

614
00:30:43.599 --> 00:30:46.720
<v Speaker 10>Kirby Eates. Kirby, thanks a lot for the time, appreciate.

615
00:30:46.200 --> 00:30:47.920
<v Speaker 8>It, no problem, Thanks for having me.

616
00:30:48.119 --> 00:30:50.880
<v Speaker 10>So what's it like to be here at Dodgers Stadium

617
00:30:50.880 --> 00:30:53.400
<v Speaker 10>for the first time wearing a Dodger uniform.

618
00:30:53.559 --> 00:30:55.440
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, it's it's a little different.

619
00:30:55.480 --> 00:30:57.039
<v Speaker 13>I mean, I don't know the numbers, but I feel

620
00:30:57.079 --> 00:30:59.759
<v Speaker 13>like I've probably played here the most out of any

621
00:31:00.039 --> 00:31:02.839
<v Speaker 13>visiting stadium, so it's always been one of my favorites.

622
00:31:02.880 --> 00:31:04.480
<v Speaker 13>So it's kind of cool to be on the home side.

623
00:31:04.559 --> 00:31:06.720
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, and it will be refreshing that if you do

624
00:31:06.880 --> 00:31:10.279
<v Speaker 10>warm up in the game tonight or in Anaheim, it

625
00:31:10.319 --> 00:31:13.480
<v Speaker 10>will be back in open air bullpens, unlike in Tokyo.

626
00:31:13.839 --> 00:31:16.960
<v Speaker 13>Yes, it's uh, you know, we're people again. We got

627
00:31:16.960 --> 00:31:20.079
<v Speaker 13>to be a part of the actual stadium. So looking

628
00:31:20.079 --> 00:31:22.079
<v Speaker 13>forward to you know, feeling the energy again.

629
00:31:22.400 --> 00:31:25.079
<v Speaker 10>What was it like in Tokyo as far as the bullpen.

630
00:31:25.640 --> 00:31:27.319
<v Speaker 8>I mean, it was actually kind of fun to be

631
00:31:27.480 --> 00:31:27.839
<v Speaker 8>down there.

632
00:31:27.880 --> 00:31:30.960
<v Speaker 13>I mean I think we made the best thought of it.

633
00:31:31.039 --> 00:31:33.119
<v Speaker 13>But you know, you'd rather kind of be out in

634
00:31:33.160 --> 00:31:35.920
<v Speaker 13>the field and have the you know, get to experience

635
00:31:35.960 --> 00:31:38.519
<v Speaker 13>the environment and kind of the energy of the stadium

636
00:31:38.599 --> 00:31:41.279
<v Speaker 13>instead of you know, running back from the tunnel, getting

637
00:31:41.319 --> 00:31:43.039
<v Speaker 13>out on the dugout and then being kind of thrown

638
00:31:43.079 --> 00:31:45.599
<v Speaker 13>right into it. It was a little weird, but you know,

639
00:31:45.640 --> 00:31:47.319
<v Speaker 13>it was an experience.

640
00:31:47.160 --> 00:31:51.680
<v Speaker 10>And you're getting a taste of the new Dodger clubhouse experience.

641
00:31:51.799 --> 00:31:55.000
<v Speaker 10>Obviously you weren't here last year, but can you compare

642
00:31:55.039 --> 00:31:56.759
<v Speaker 10>it to other clubhouses you've been in.

643
00:31:57.039 --> 00:31:58.000
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, it's very nice.

644
00:31:58.759 --> 00:32:00.599
<v Speaker 13>You know, I think with the space that they had

645
00:32:01.200 --> 00:32:04.000
<v Speaker 13>and you know, what they were capable of doing if

646
00:32:04.119 --> 00:32:07.920
<v Speaker 13>they nailed it, you know, I think it's now you

647
00:32:07.960 --> 00:32:10.960
<v Speaker 13>could say it's a first class facility. I would agree

648
00:32:10.960 --> 00:32:13.920
<v Speaker 13>with that, And yeah, it's very nice. They did great

649
00:32:13.960 --> 00:32:15.920
<v Speaker 13>job with the locker room, great job of the weight room,

650
00:32:16.000 --> 00:32:17.039
<v Speaker 13>training room, everything.

651
00:32:17.400 --> 00:32:20.440
<v Speaker 10>Globally Field one of the newest ballparks in baseball. How

652
00:32:20.440 --> 00:32:22.799
<v Speaker 10>would you compare the amenities to that.

653
00:32:23.839 --> 00:32:26.920
<v Speaker 13>It's definitely comparable, you know, the only the Dodgers kind

654
00:32:26.960 --> 00:32:28.880
<v Speaker 13>we were kind of at a disadvantage of based on

655
00:32:28.960 --> 00:32:31.039
<v Speaker 13>the space that they had. You know, Texas got to

656
00:32:31.079 --> 00:32:34.680
<v Speaker 13>build from a clean slate, so you know, in that aspect,

657
00:32:35.480 --> 00:32:37.440
<v Speaker 13>I don't think it's kind of fair to compare the two,

658
00:32:37.960 --> 00:32:41.599
<v Speaker 13>but I think they're both very, very nice, and you know,

659
00:32:42.039 --> 00:32:45.440
<v Speaker 13>it would be one a one b best clubhouses I've

660
00:32:45.480 --> 00:32:45.680
<v Speaker 13>been in.

661
00:32:46.000 --> 00:32:48.319
<v Speaker 10>Hey, Kirby HS has been around for a while. So

662
00:32:48.400 --> 00:32:51.519
<v Speaker 10>do you remember the old Dodger Stadium visiting clubhouse.

663
00:32:52.559 --> 00:32:55.119
<v Speaker 13>I think the first year I got there, they had

664
00:32:55.759 --> 00:32:58.000
<v Speaker 13>just remodeled a little bit and kind of gave it

665
00:32:58.039 --> 00:33:02.200
<v Speaker 13>a facelift. But the old visiting one was still there

666
00:33:02.240 --> 00:33:04.000
<v Speaker 13>and you could kind of you could go check it

667
00:33:04.000 --> 00:33:08.119
<v Speaker 13>out if you wanted to. So, you know, I think

668
00:33:08.160 --> 00:33:10.799
<v Speaker 13>I just miss the very very old one.

669
00:33:10.960 --> 00:33:13.640
<v Speaker 10>This new one, though, it's still a work in progress.

670
00:33:13.960 --> 00:33:16.599
<v Speaker 13>Yeah, it's still work in progress. I mean, you know,

671
00:33:16.720 --> 00:33:18.759
<v Speaker 13>it's I believe it or not. It's probably not the

672
00:33:18.759 --> 00:33:22.720
<v Speaker 13>worst visiting clubhouse there is. You know, it's just a

673
00:33:22.759 --> 00:33:25.440
<v Speaker 13>little small and type for space, but overall it's nice.

674
00:33:25.839 --> 00:33:26.759
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, all right.

675
00:33:27.200 --> 00:33:29.559
<v Speaker 10>Facial of approval from Kirby, a to who has seen

676
00:33:29.599 --> 00:33:33.119
<v Speaker 10>many clubhouses in his major league career. You've been a

677
00:33:33.160 --> 00:33:36.559
<v Speaker 10>part of many bullpens in your career as well. Can

678
00:33:36.559 --> 00:33:39.880
<v Speaker 10>you just take us through the organic process of a

679
00:33:39.920 --> 00:33:41.160
<v Speaker 10>bullpen coming together?

680
00:33:42.359 --> 00:33:44.039
<v Speaker 13>Yeah, I think, you know, you just get to know

681
00:33:44.240 --> 00:33:46.759
<v Speaker 13>everybody's personality. I think this team it's like, look, we

682
00:33:46.839 --> 00:33:49.920
<v Speaker 13>got two new guys, a three me, Tanner and Louis.

683
00:33:49.960 --> 00:33:52.839
<v Speaker 13>Everybody else's kind of been knows each other and knows

684
00:33:52.880 --> 00:33:55.799
<v Speaker 13>each other's personality. So you know, as the new guys,

685
00:33:55.839 --> 00:33:57.839
<v Speaker 13>you just kind of come in, try and fit in.

686
00:33:59.160 --> 00:34:01.359
<v Speaker 8>And it's been fun. It's a good group. It's fun.

687
00:34:01.440 --> 00:34:03.599
<v Speaker 13>You know, Bardo keeps the loose down there, Bartow does

688
00:34:03.640 --> 00:34:07.680
<v Speaker 13>a really good job, and you know, I just you're

689
00:34:07.680 --> 00:34:09.599
<v Speaker 13>looking forward to kind of getting in the role of

690
00:34:09.639 --> 00:34:12.400
<v Speaker 13>things and having the season start and kind of, you know,

691
00:34:12.440 --> 00:34:14.960
<v Speaker 13>everybody kind of settle in, settle in the roles and

692
00:34:15.159 --> 00:34:17.480
<v Speaker 13>you know, really have it become a bullpen.

693
00:34:17.880 --> 00:34:20.480
<v Speaker 10>And speaking of roles, just being around the team since

694
00:34:20.559 --> 00:34:24.119
<v Speaker 10>Dave Roberts took over. It's not necessarily roles when it

695
00:34:24.159 --> 00:34:26.880
<v Speaker 10>comes to innings. It's about groupings of hitters. Is that

696
00:34:27.320 --> 00:34:28.039
<v Speaker 10>something new to.

697
00:34:28.000 --> 00:34:32.079
<v Speaker 13>You, Yeah, I would say, yeah. No, I think here

698
00:34:32.159 --> 00:34:33.960
<v Speaker 13>they do it a lot differently than a lot of

699
00:34:34.079 --> 00:34:37.800
<v Speaker 13>other places. You know, other places kind of focus on

700
00:34:37.840 --> 00:34:40.119
<v Speaker 13>the pockets too. I think this is a little bit

701
00:34:40.119 --> 00:34:42.159
<v Speaker 13>different the way they do it. But you know, they

702
00:34:42.159 --> 00:34:44.360
<v Speaker 13>communicate and tell you exactly what they do they're going

703
00:34:44.440 --> 00:34:46.280
<v Speaker 13>to do and where you think you're going to pitch,

704
00:34:46.320 --> 00:34:49.199
<v Speaker 13>and you know, just be ready for that. And you

705
00:34:49.239 --> 00:34:51.039
<v Speaker 13>know that makes it kind of easier to prepare.

706
00:34:51.360 --> 00:34:54.280
<v Speaker 10>I've heard of relievers saying they want roles to find

707
00:34:54.360 --> 00:34:56.559
<v Speaker 10>so they know when to, you know, get ready for

708
00:34:56.599 --> 00:34:59.960
<v Speaker 10>the game, just as long as it's defined for you clearly.

709
00:35:00.159 --> 00:35:02.559
<v Speaker 10>Is that a good enough role of an understanding?

710
00:35:02.719 --> 00:35:02.920
<v Speaker 8>Yeah?

711
00:35:02.920 --> 00:35:05.679
<v Speaker 13>I think just every guy down there wants clarity and

712
00:35:05.679 --> 00:35:09.280
<v Speaker 13>doesn't want to be surprised when the phone rings. You know,

713
00:35:09.360 --> 00:35:11.800
<v Speaker 13>you want to be prepared when that phone rings, and

714
00:35:11.880 --> 00:35:15.079
<v Speaker 13>so you can go in there and do your job and.

715
00:35:15.039 --> 00:35:18.360
<v Speaker 8>Help your team win. You know, that's all. That's what

716
00:35:18.360 --> 00:35:18.960
<v Speaker 8>it's all about.

717
00:35:19.079 --> 00:35:22.000
<v Speaker 10>Hey, Opening day starter, right, in front of us. Here,

718
00:35:22.039 --> 00:35:25.280
<v Speaker 10>Blake Snell. Hello, hopefully you don't have to work on

719
00:35:25.320 --> 00:35:28.079
<v Speaker 10>the nights. He pitches. I want seven innings out of you, Snell.

720
00:35:27.920 --> 00:35:29.320
<v Speaker 12>Hey, get on Colin Mobile one time.

721
00:35:29.519 --> 00:35:33.079
<v Speaker 10>Oh, come on, right, Kirby, I demand seven innings from

722
00:35:33.119 --> 00:35:33.519
<v Speaker 10>this guy.

723
00:35:34.360 --> 00:35:36.719
<v Speaker 8>She can go whatever he wants. We'll be ready.

724
00:35:37.000 --> 00:35:39.960
<v Speaker 13>I think we're armed and ready for it, whether it's six,

725
00:35:40.079 --> 00:35:42.599
<v Speaker 13>seven to eight or nine. But you know what, every

726
00:35:42.639 --> 00:35:46.639
<v Speaker 13>bullpen guy never complains about those seven innings, those complete games.

727
00:35:46.719 --> 00:35:48.639
<v Speaker 13>We you know, we love when we can kick our

728
00:35:48.639 --> 00:35:49.960
<v Speaker 13>feet up and not have to worry.

729
00:35:50.400 --> 00:35:53.280
<v Speaker 10>Well, Kirby, thanks a lot for the time. Mahalo and

730
00:35:53.599 --> 00:35:54.920
<v Speaker 10>Aloha means goodbye.

803
00:39:23.280 --> 00:39:25.159
<v Speaker 2>call tonight Charlie Steiner Rick Monday.

804
00:39:26.159 --> 00:39:29.360
<v Speaker 6>The Dodgers are home at long last. Spring training in

805
00:39:29.480 --> 00:39:33.239
<v Speaker 6>Arizona is over. The trip to and from Tokyo has

806
00:39:33.280 --> 00:39:36.960
<v Speaker 6>come and gone, and tonight the first to free the

807
00:39:37.000 --> 00:39:40.519
<v Speaker 6>Dodgers and the Angels. And it's interesting. The Dodgers have

808
00:39:40.559 --> 00:39:45.159
<v Speaker 6>a lefty, Jackson Ferris, who a lot of people have

809
00:39:45.760 --> 00:39:48.360
<v Speaker 6>a lot of curiosity about going tonight, and.

810
00:39:48.280 --> 00:39:49.000
<v Speaker 4>For good reason.

811
00:39:49.320 --> 00:39:53.000
<v Speaker 7>The lefty wound up being really he was acquired in

812
00:39:53.039 --> 00:39:55.239
<v Speaker 7>a trade with the Cubs that was the Michael Bush deal,

813
00:39:55.719 --> 00:39:57.599
<v Speaker 7>and if you look at what he did, all he

814
00:39:57.719 --> 00:40:00.360
<v Speaker 7>did was go out and become the Dodgers the League

815
00:40:00.400 --> 00:40:03.079
<v Speaker 7>pitcher of the year last year. Interesting, this is the

816
00:40:03.079 --> 00:40:05.559
<v Speaker 7>first start that he's had any quote unquote spring trending.

817
00:40:05.880 --> 00:40:08.320
<v Speaker 7>So I'm a couple of times very impressive. And he's

818
00:40:08.360 --> 00:40:09.920
<v Speaker 7>got a very good fans ball. He can move the

819
00:40:09.920 --> 00:40:13.079
<v Speaker 7>good line. He says, strike one is the biggest pitch

820
00:40:13.199 --> 00:40:13.760
<v Speaker 7>that I throw.

821
00:40:14.519 --> 00:40:17.840
<v Speaker 6>And you know it sounds simple, but boy, that's exactly

822
00:40:17.960 --> 00:40:22.239
<v Speaker 6>right going for the Angels. Tonight, Jose Soriano will detail

823
00:40:22.599 --> 00:40:26.159
<v Speaker 6>their lineup. The Dodgers lineup. By the way, Freeman back

824
00:40:26.280 --> 00:40:29.280
<v Speaker 6>in the lineup had an issue with his ribs. Until

825
00:40:29.280 --> 00:40:31.480
<v Speaker 6>we'll get to the details in just a little bit.

826
00:40:31.679 --> 00:40:34.480
<v Speaker 2>All right, Thank you, Charlie. Dodgers and Angels. First pitch
