Last night in Cleveland, 37 00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:46.159 the Dodgers offense delivered for a second straight win over 38 00:01:46.239 --> 00:01:49.480 the Guardians. Dustin May got the start, the right hander 39 00:01:49.519 --> 00:01:52.120 win five innans, all have three runs on four hits 40 00:01:52.319 --> 00:01:55.200 while striking out nine along the way, and Dustin May 41 00:01:55.319 --> 00:01:58.439 got plenty of run support to go along the way. 42 00:01:58.680 --> 00:02:01.000 Andy Pie has got its larded in the second with 43 00:02:01.040 --> 00:02:04.239 an RBI single, Then Dalton Rushing got into the. 44 00:02:04.159 --> 00:02:08.639 Fun runners lead first and third, nobody out and the 45 00:02:09.199 --> 00:02:12.280 two pitch to Rushing. He swings and lines it in 46 00:02:12.360 --> 00:02:14.719 the center for a base. Et Pot has will come 47 00:02:14.759 --> 00:02:17.879 into score and the Dodgers lead it two to nothing, and. 48 00:02:17.919 --> 00:02:19.840 That was it ninety six. So he did try and 49 00:02:19.840 --> 00:02:22.639 sneak that fast ball pass team and for rushing, we've 50 00:02:22.680 --> 00:02:25.800 noticed really in spring trending that Dalton rushing handles that ball. 51 00:02:25.879 --> 00:02:29.400 This elevated exceptionally well and that was the heater hit 52 00:02:29.439 --> 00:02:30.680 it right to center field. 53 00:02:31.000 --> 00:02:33.560 Dalton rushing with the heater back up the middle, Andy 54 00:02:33.560 --> 00:02:36.280 Pot has scored Dodgers up two to nothing. In the fourth, 55 00:02:36.520 --> 00:02:40.240 they doubled their lead thanks to show hey Otani at 56 00:02:40.280 --> 00:02:42.879 his two run home run, his twentieth of the year. 57 00:02:42.919 --> 00:02:45.000 Don't look now, but he's ahead of pace for where 58 00:02:45.039 --> 00:02:48.639 he was in twenty twenty four. The Guardians would get 59 00:02:48.680 --> 00:02:50.520 back three in the bottom half of the fourth, and 60 00:02:50.599 --> 00:02:52.560 it was a one run game all the way till 61 00:02:52.599 --> 00:02:55.280 the sixth when Michael canfordo, let's face it. 62 00:02:55.280 --> 00:02:57.759 He has struggled this year, but not yesterday. 63 00:02:58.520 --> 00:03:01.759 Gottis puts his glove up in front of his bearded face. 64 00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:04.120 Now the pitch swung out of this one's well hit 65 00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:06.439 the center field, headed back toward the bullpens. 66 00:03:06.680 --> 00:03:08.879 It is going a home run. 67 00:03:09.000 --> 00:03:14.919 Michael Conforto with a solo homer and the Dodgers now 68 00:03:14.960 --> 00:03:16.000 with a five. 69 00:03:15.800 --> 00:03:16.680 To three lead. 70 00:03:16.919 --> 00:03:19.759 For Confordo his third home run of the year. 71 00:03:19.960 --> 00:03:23.319 Michael Confordo goes deep. Maybe he's starting to heat up. 72 00:03:23.400 --> 00:03:26.520 Conforto yesterday goes two for three with the home run 73 00:03:26.520 --> 00:03:29.560 on pace three times with the walk. The Dodgers would 74 00:03:29.560 --> 00:03:32.800 pile on more runs in the eighth, Max Munsey's swinging 75 00:03:32.840 --> 00:03:35.479 that silver Hammler and the ninth and he with a 76 00:03:35.560 --> 00:03:37.919 three run home run. Dodgers go up nine to three, 77 00:03:37.960 --> 00:03:40.400 but then Luis Garcia ended up giving two in the 78 00:03:40.439 --> 00:03:42.280 bottom half of the ninth, with the Dodgers were up 79 00:03:42.319 --> 00:03:43.800 big at that point. They go on and beat the 80 00:03:43.800 --> 00:03:47.400 Guardians nine to five. Dustin May has now won two 81 00:03:47.439 --> 00:03:50.400 starts in a row. He improves to three to four 82 00:03:50.439 --> 00:03:53.319 on this season. What about Jack Dryer and benkus Sperry's 83 00:03:53.719 --> 00:03:58.240 They combined for three shutout innings and three strikeouts in relief. 84 00:03:58.360 --> 00:04:01.639 The two young bullpen arms can continue to lock down 85 00:04:01.800 --> 00:04:04.159 upon its as the Dodgers get the winner. Now thirty 86 00:04:04.199 --> 00:04:06.719 four and twenty one on this season, They've won two 87 00:04:06.719 --> 00:04:09.400 straight in Cleveland, and they look to close out the 88 00:04:09.439 --> 00:04:13.159 Guardians today with Clayton Kershaw on the mound first pitch 89 00:04:13.199 --> 00:04:14.479 of ten ten and with more we head out to 90 00:04:14.479 --> 00:04:17.240 the Gaping Motors broadcast booth as we welcome in Tim 91 00:04:17.279 --> 00:04:18.480 Neverett and Rick Monday. 92 00:04:18.519 --> 00:04:19.000 Guys. 93 00:04:19.199 --> 00:04:19.879 Thanks Tim. 94 00:04:19.920 --> 00:04:23.199 Overcast day, a little bit of precipitation in the area 95 00:04:23.279 --> 00:04:26.480 with the Dodgers and Guardians expecting it on time. Start 96 00:04:26.480 --> 00:04:29.439 here at Progressive Field in game three of this three 97 00:04:29.480 --> 00:04:31.920 game series. Dodgers have taken the first two and last 98 00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:35.759 night a nine to five win. As show Hey Otani, 99 00:04:35.839 --> 00:04:39.120 Michael Confordo and Max Munsey all hit home runs, Monthsey 100 00:04:39.160 --> 00:04:42.000 a three run blast in the ninth inning. Otani got 101 00:04:42.000 --> 00:04:44.480 his twentieth back in the fourth, and he was the 102 00:04:44.480 --> 00:04:47.079 first major leaguer to get to twenty. In fact, we 103 00:04:47.120 --> 00:04:50.399 look at his pace mope as Otani gets set the 104 00:04:50.439 --> 00:04:53.879 lead off here today. It took him seventy two games 105 00:04:54.000 --> 00:04:57.000 last year to get to twenty home runs. It's taken 106 00:04:57.079 --> 00:04:58.920 him only fifty five this year. 107 00:04:59.000 --> 00:05:02.399 Well, and you and I are both just dumbfounded at 108 00:05:02.439 --> 00:05:05.759 times on how pitching staffs are just going to continue 109 00:05:05.800 --> 00:05:08.120 to challenge him and that they believe they can win 110 00:05:08.199 --> 00:05:11.040 the battle. That has not been the case, and we 111 00:05:11.160 --> 00:05:14.199 have not seen people that understand, Hey, look, it might 112 00:05:14.240 --> 00:05:16.079 not be a bad idea to pitch around him. But 113 00:05:16.120 --> 00:05:17.759 then you look at the rest of the lineup too, 114 00:05:18.600 --> 00:05:20.959 they've been able to deliver. In fact, on this road trip, 115 00:05:21.000 --> 00:05:24.160 the Dodgers eight for eighteen in this series with runners 116 00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:27.160 in scoring position, and on the trip, even though they 117 00:05:27.279 --> 00:05:29.920 not won every ball game, they're still hitting over three 118 00:05:29.920 --> 00:05:32.959 point thirty as a team with opportunity to score. Speaking 119 00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:35.319 of that, you mentioned the rain. You and I were 120 00:05:35.319 --> 00:05:39.680 both talking off air. This is the perfect incentive to 121 00:05:39.879 --> 00:05:43.600 score early in case the rains arrive here a little 122 00:05:43.639 --> 00:05:45.800 bit earlier. Put some runs up on the board, and 123 00:05:45.839 --> 00:05:48.040 then hey, if you do have a rain delay, if 124 00:05:48.079 --> 00:05:50.759 it's an official game, jump on the plane, go back there. 125 00:05:50.920 --> 00:05:53.439 Like yeah, talk to the skipper Dave Roberts just a 126 00:05:53.439 --> 00:05:55.399 little while ago about that. I said, what are they 127 00:05:55.439 --> 00:05:59.519 telling you? He said, between one and three to three 128 00:05:59.720 --> 00:06:02.959 third the Eastern time should be a good enough window 129 00:06:03.000 --> 00:06:04.639 to get the game in. If they have to put 130 00:06:04.680 --> 00:06:07.480 the tarpon, then they'd wait an hour today and. 131 00:06:07.720 --> 00:06:08.639 Decide what to do. 132 00:06:08.800 --> 00:06:12.319 So that's kind of where we are right now. The 133 00:06:12.360 --> 00:06:14.360 ground screw has done a good job getting this field 134 00:06:14.399 --> 00:06:16.519 prepared for an on time start. There was a little 135 00:06:16.519 --> 00:06:19.480 bit of a sprinkle this morning, some rain earlier this morning. 136 00:06:20.079 --> 00:06:22.920 It's very overcast here, but it looks like we will 137 00:06:22.959 --> 00:06:25.800 have a window to get this ball game in and 138 00:06:25.839 --> 00:06:28.160 that is great news because the Dodgers don't want to 139 00:06:28.160 --> 00:06:30.079 have to come back here for a single game anytime. 140 00:06:30.120 --> 00:06:31.199 This is no they do not. 141 00:06:31.439 --> 00:06:34.360 And for the ground screw, yeah, they've been very busy. 142 00:06:34.680 --> 00:06:37.639 We've seen fog here earlier today on top of it. 143 00:06:37.680 --> 00:06:39.560 So it's kind of where those days a good day 144 00:06:39.560 --> 00:06:42.240 for a duck possibly and for the Dodgers, they would 145 00:06:42.279 --> 00:06:44.680 like to have it as a good day for a victory. 146 00:06:45.040 --> 00:06:46.720 So a little change in the lineup with the left 147 00:06:46.720 --> 00:06:50.800 hander going. Kolby Allard is going to start this one. 148 00:06:50.839 --> 00:06:53.959 It's a change for Steven votes Guardian so Allard, the 149 00:06:54.040 --> 00:06:56.800 lefty who is normally in the bullpen. He's a former 150 00:06:56.959 --> 00:06:59.199 first round draft choice, been with a couple of other 151 00:06:59.279 --> 00:07:01.759 ball clubs, was signed as a minor league free agent. 152 00:07:01.800 --> 00:07:04.879 He'll go and that means that te Oscar Hernandez will 153 00:07:04.879 --> 00:07:06.680 move up a spot, get the right hander in the 154 00:07:06.720 --> 00:07:10.279 third spot in the order. Freddie freemanle bat fourth yeah. 155 00:07:10.240 --> 00:07:12.480 And for Kick a Hernantis, he will start at third 156 00:07:12.480 --> 00:07:14.680 base and Miguel Rojas is going to be at second. 157 00:07:14.959 --> 00:07:18.240 Tommy Edmund also returns the lineup Peel patrol center field. 158 00:07:18.240 --> 00:07:21.040 That moves a pahees over to left field.

The last 211 00:09:58.480 --> 00:10:01.480 twenty four hours, Kearrisen, we kept hearing about the weather. 212 00:10:01.720 --> 00:10:04.039 The weather is coming and the rain is coming. 213 00:10:04.399 --> 00:10:06.120 What is the latest? 214 00:10:06.559 --> 00:10:06.799 Yeah? 215 00:10:06.919 --> 00:10:08.679 No, There was a lot of concern of are we 216 00:10:08.720 --> 00:10:10.600 gonna be making a feme up tomorrow? Are we coming 217 00:10:10.639 --> 00:10:13.360 back later in the season like in July when the 218 00:10:13.399 --> 00:10:15.879 team plays in Cincinnati and there's had audit before Tampa. 219 00:10:15.879 --> 00:10:18.879 There are all these scenarios going around, but as of 220 00:10:19.000 --> 00:10:21.519 right now, we're in the clear. There's looking like there's 221 00:10:21.519 --> 00:10:26.200 like a window essentially from now until four o'clock. So 222 00:10:26.320 --> 00:10:29.080 that's great for us. It's great for Clayton Kershaw who 223 00:10:29.120 --> 00:10:32.440 can finally have a normal start. But right now things 224 00:10:32.440 --> 00:10:34.200 look good. It's gonna be an on time start, and 225 00:10:34.960 --> 00:10:37.480 we're just gonna keep hoping and praying that rain does 226 00:10:37.519 --> 00:10:38.960 not come. We might have a little bit of a 227 00:10:39.039 --> 00:10:42.039 drizzles that I'm hearing, maybe that's towards the back end 228 00:10:42.039 --> 00:10:44.200 of the game, but we're hoping we can be in 229 00:10:44.200 --> 00:10:45.440 and out of here, that's for sure. 230 00:10:46.360 --> 00:10:49.600 Clayton Kershaw last time he got the start, also bad 231 00:10:49.639 --> 00:10:51.559 weather in New York. He only went the two innings 232 00:10:51.600 --> 00:10:54.240 before they had the ninety eight minute rain delay. I 233 00:10:54.279 --> 00:10:56.799 know Cursh is anxious to get out there and get 234 00:10:56.840 --> 00:10:57.440 this game in. 235 00:10:58.440 --> 00:10:58.759 Yeah, I know. 236 00:10:58.840 --> 00:11:01.440 He's been funny all week on. It's just because, of course, 237 00:11:01.480 --> 00:11:04.320 has had his eye on the weather and just like 238 00:11:04.399 --> 00:11:06.840 you and I, it's always been hearing about for today, 239 00:11:06.960 --> 00:11:08.799 is it going to be is it gonna be delayed? 240 00:11:08.799 --> 00:11:10.679 Are they gonna what do they coin to do? And 241 00:11:10.720 --> 00:11:12.679 he was like, man, what's straw did eye pull? They 242 00:11:12.679 --> 00:11:15.039 have to deal with all these weather outings. But so 243 00:11:15.159 --> 00:11:17.200 for him book Dave was saying that he was at 244 00:11:17.240 --> 00:11:19.159 least really pleased with what he saw even in that 245 00:11:19.240 --> 00:11:22.559 shorter outing due to weather. So hopefully, you know, this 246 00:11:22.679 --> 00:11:24.720 can be just a normal outing for him today. The 247 00:11:24.759 --> 00:11:26.840 stuff has been in a really good spot continuing to 248 00:11:26.879 --> 00:11:28.679 kind of have that command and control of the game. 249 00:11:29.120 --> 00:11:32.600 They would like him to be efficient for just the 250 00:11:33.080 --> 00:11:37.000 ensuing weather that could be coming. So hopefully you can 251 00:11:37.039 --> 00:11:38.759 go out there, have a really strong outing and kind 252 00:11:38.759 --> 00:11:41.360 of just get himself also back on track with more 253 00:11:41.360 --> 00:11:42.720 of a traditional game today. 254 00:11:42.840 --> 00:11:45.799 How anxious is this team to get this game over with, 255 00:11:45.960 --> 00:11:48.519 get back home with this big home stand in front 256 00:11:48.519 --> 00:11:48.759 of him? 257 00:11:48.759 --> 00:11:52.120 Hereson, Yeah, I mean, when you think about whether it's 258 00:11:52.240 --> 00:11:56.039 just weather, East Coast trimps are always a hard one, 259 00:11:55.879 --> 00:11:58.759 the newfound midges that we did not know about here 260 00:11:58.799 --> 00:12:02.639 in Cleveland, I can confidently say that guys are very 261 00:12:02.639 --> 00:12:04.639 excited to get home. But also, like you've said, like 262 00:12:04.799 --> 00:12:07.240 it's a big series against the Yankees this weekend, guys 263 00:12:07.279 --> 00:12:09.159 are already talking about it. Even though I was talking 264 00:12:09.159 --> 00:12:12.879 to Landon, Nax is going to have the start on Saturday, 265 00:12:12.919 --> 00:12:16.120 I believe, and for him, just you was already kind 266 00:12:16.120 --> 00:12:18.039 of referring to like the last time when the Yankees 267 00:12:18.080 --> 00:12:22.159 were in Los Angeles when Aaron Judge landing to the 268 00:12:22.279 --> 00:12:25.399 fence in the outfield and kind of mess up his toe, 269 00:12:25.480 --> 00:12:27.320 and so like the fact that they're already like just 270 00:12:27.480 --> 00:12:30.759 talking about those moments, you can tell that, yeah, there's 271 00:12:30.799 --> 00:12:33.039 a buzz. Also show hand Tani's going to take part 272 00:12:33.440 --> 00:12:37.000 in a live VP at Dodger Stadium, which I think 273 00:12:37.000 --> 00:12:39.519 as much as it's not it's not the real thing 274 00:12:39.720 --> 00:12:41.320 just yet, but just the fact that he's going to 275 00:12:41.360 --> 00:12:43.600 be on the mount at Dodger Stadium, I mean, there's 276 00:12:43.639 --> 00:12:45.840 a lot to look forward to over the weekend just 277 00:12:45.879 --> 00:12:46.440 in general. 278 00:12:46.639 --> 00:12:48.759 No doubt it's gonna be an exciting homestead coming up. 279 00:12:48.759 --> 00:12:51.080 But that's then. First things first, Dodgers need to take 280 00:12:51.080 --> 00:12:53.759 care of business and close out the Guardians today in Cleveland. 281 00:12:53.840 --> 00:12:55.399 Thank you, Christen. We'll check in with you after the game. 282 00:12:55.440 --> 00:12:57.159 Still to come here on Dodgers on Deck, will dive 283 00:12:57.200 --> 00:12:59.600 deeper to this pitching matchup.

Clayton Kershaw on the mound, first 296 00:13:35.879 --> 00:13:38.320 pitch from Progressive Field, coming up at ten ten. 297 00:13:38.639 --> 00:13:43.519 This it's the LA Dodgers Injury Report. 298 00:13:43.240 --> 00:13:45.960 Presented by UCLA Healthy Official Medical partner of the Los 299 00:13:45.960 --> 00:13:49.399 Angeles Dodgers. Rookie Sasaki on the IL. Kirby Yates bothered 300 00:13:49.399 --> 00:13:52.279 by the right hamstring strain. Evan Phillips on the IL 301 00:13:52.320 --> 00:13:55.559 with the sort right forearm. Tyler Glass now Blake Snell 302 00:13:55.960 --> 00:13:59.120 also on the IL with the shoulder inflammation. Michael Kopex 303 00:13:59.120 --> 00:14:01.679 in Oklahoma City. There's a couple of minor league rehab 304 00:14:01.720 --> 00:14:04.480 assignments underneath his belt. He was trending in the right direction, 305 00:14:04.600 --> 00:14:08.879 possibly a return for Michael Kopek and the next homestand 306 00:14:08.919 --> 00:14:10.759 all right, let's ted back out to Cleveland and checking 307 00:14:10.759 --> 00:14:11.639 out with the Dodger skipper. 308 00:14:13.840 --> 00:14:15.000 The questions for Dave Dave? 309 00:14:15.080 --> 00:14:17.919 Can you just describe Dave? Can you talk about the 310 00:14:17.960 --> 00:14:21.600 pressure in the dugouts with Dave Robberts. 311 00:14:22.879 --> 00:14:27.519 I think early we should be fine, and then there 312 00:14:27.600 --> 00:14:30.279 might be something light as far as some weather, and 313 00:14:30.320 --> 00:14:32.279 then later on the afternoon it starts to pick up. 314 00:14:32.279 --> 00:14:35.840 So hopefully we start on time and get as many 315 00:14:35.960 --> 00:14:37.759 get as much of this game played as possible. 316 00:14:37.799 --> 00:14:40.639 With Kershoff, of course, his last outing was shortened due 317 00:14:40.799 --> 00:14:43.600 to weather. What are you looking to see from him today? 318 00:14:43.679 --> 00:14:46.559 And does it pose it as a challenge just knowing 319 00:14:46.600 --> 00:14:49.120 that weather could potentially play in this one as. 320 00:14:49.000 --> 00:14:52.320 Well A little bit. I know he was a little 321 00:14:52.960 --> 00:14:57.600 kind of making jokes about him pitching again with weather looming. 322 00:14:58.960 --> 00:15:03.000 But I think today for me, the other day when 323 00:15:03.039 --> 00:15:06.000 he had the abbreviated start, I thought this stuff was good, 324 00:15:06.080 --> 00:15:10.279 albeit at short two innings. Just more of what he's done, 325 00:15:10.480 --> 00:15:13.240 I think the stuff has been good. Just the command 326 00:15:13.519 --> 00:15:15.759 just to continue to harness that command, which I think 327 00:15:16.039 --> 00:15:20.080 he's very mindful of today and you know, go as 328 00:15:20.159 --> 00:15:20.799 long as he can. 329 00:15:21.360 --> 00:15:24.120 How much does he had to like adapt the way 330 00:15:24.159 --> 00:15:27.000 he attacks hitters, especially just with where his stuff is 331 00:15:27.039 --> 00:15:29.000 at right now, even when it is kind of playing 332 00:15:29.039 --> 00:15:31.120 a kind of relative to where he's at, But as 333 00:15:31.120 --> 00:15:33.840 he had to change the way he goes after guys, 334 00:15:33.919 --> 00:15:35.960 you know, even compared to the last couple of years. 335 00:15:37.200 --> 00:15:39.320 You know what he over the last couple of years, 336 00:15:39.399 --> 00:15:42.919 I think that he's been mindful of that. And also 337 00:15:43.519 --> 00:15:48.279 hitters nowadays are very in tune with game planning and tendencies, 338 00:15:48.360 --> 00:15:51.519 So I think that in itself calls for pitchers to 339 00:15:51.600 --> 00:15:55.039 kind of change the game plan. I do think that 340 00:15:55.120 --> 00:15:58.799 clayton'still one more change ups recently, I think the curveball 341 00:15:58.960 --> 00:16:02.639 introduced a little bit more or using the other side 342 00:16:02.679 --> 00:16:06.600 of the plate and just trying not to be as predictable. 343 00:16:06.600 --> 00:16:08.679 So he's certainly mindful of that. Absolutely. 344 00:16:09.080 --> 00:16:11.519 All Right, there's the manager Dave Roberts' pregame thoughts. So 345 00:16:11.639 --> 00:16:14.000 we continue here on Wrongco Casino Dodgers on deck. 346 00:16:14.159 --> 00:16:16.159 We'll check in with the David V. 347 00:16:16.399 --> 00:16:18.480 Say as we leads up to first pitch from Cleveland 348 00:16:18.559 --> 00:16:21.360 Dodgers and Guardians on this Wednesday morning. I'm Tim Kas's 349 00:16:21.360 --> 00:16:24.120 World champion Los Angeles Dodgers audio notwork. 350 00:16:26.279 --> 00:16:27.440 As we were saying. 351 00:16:27.919 --> 00:16:32.720 Yes, is Marongo Casino Dodgers on deck on the official 352 00:16:32.799 --> 00:16:35.039 home of La Dodgers Baseball. 353 00:16:37.399 --> 00:16:40.799 It's the Dodgers and Guardians. Clayton Kershaw Kobe Aller. 354 00:16:40.919 --> 00:16:41.799 The pitching matchup. 355 00:16:41.879 --> 00:16:44.039 Kobe a left hander out of San Clementia High School, 356 00:16:44.240 --> 00:16:45.840 first pitch from Progressive Field. 357 00:16:45.840 --> 00:16:48.039 The Cleveland is coming up at ten. 358 00:16:47.960 --> 00:16:52.399 Ten joining Tim Kats on Dodgers on deck. 359 00:16:52.480 --> 00:16:54.240 I accept everybody for who they are. 360 00:16:54.360 --> 00:16:57.519 This is Dodger insider David Basse. 361 00:16:57.879 --> 00:17:01.080 All right, DV Dodgers wrapping up this series Progressive Field. 362 00:17:01.120 --> 00:17:03.720 They've won the first two games last night. Last night 363 00:17:03.720 --> 00:17:06.799 it was Michael CONFORDO and Max Munsey delivering for the Dodgers. 364 00:17:06.920 --> 00:17:08.839 What do you think maybe he's the wild card or 365 00:17:08.839 --> 00:17:11.359 the guy or what could deliver today in Cleveland? 366 00:17:11.880 --> 00:17:14.039 Yeah, that would be the Cleveland grounds crew. 367 00:17:14.559 --> 00:17:18.559 They are the wildcard today because of their quick trigger 368 00:17:18.680 --> 00:17:21.559 to pull the tarp when no rain is falling down 369 00:17:22.039 --> 00:17:25.039 two hours in advance of rain. That's what took place 370 00:17:25.440 --> 00:17:28.400 two years ago. The last time the Dodgers were in Cleveland, 371 00:17:28.720 --> 00:17:31.480 and let's not forget the World Series where the Cubs 372 00:17:31.960 --> 00:17:35.240 won that Game seven. It was the Cleveland grounds crew 373 00:17:35.640 --> 00:17:39.160 that pulled the tarp prematurely to give the Cubs the 374 00:17:39.279 --> 00:17:44.039 chance to regroup and stop their home team momentum. So yeah, 375 00:17:44.039 --> 00:17:47.319 that's the wildcard today. Tim, the head grounds crew guy 376 00:17:47.359 --> 00:17:50.400 out there in Cleveland, has been there a very long time. 377 00:17:50.880 --> 00:17:54.079 He has a reputation that is not spotless as far 378 00:17:54.119 --> 00:17:57.480 as judgment calls when it comes to pulling the tarp. 379 00:17:57.599 --> 00:18:01.759 So yeah, they are the wildcard today. With rain circling 380 00:18:01.799 --> 00:18:03.160 around that stadium. 381 00:18:02.920 --> 00:18:04.799 David has driven by Ford It there's one thing we like. 382 00:18:04.839 --> 00:18:07.000 It's choices fine yours With the Ford F one fifty 383 00:18:07.000 --> 00:18:09.640 gas hybrid all electric tough, this march can only be 384 00:18:09.680 --> 00:18:12.519 called F one fifty. Clayton Kershaw has accomplished a lot 385 00:18:12.559 --> 00:18:14.839 in his career, David, Why does he keep. 386 00:18:14.720 --> 00:18:16.079 Going at the age of thirty seven. 387 00:18:16.279 --> 00:18:19.200 It's not to chase three thousand strikeouts. He has been 388 00:18:19.319 --> 00:18:22.279 adamant about that with me a couple of different times. 389 00:18:22.599 --> 00:18:25.960 He's only twenty nine strikeouts away from three thousand in 390 00:18:26.039 --> 00:18:26.720 his career. 391 00:18:27.240 --> 00:18:28.880 But what really keeps him going? 392 00:18:29.039 --> 00:18:31.519 And I know this sounds cliche, but part of it 393 00:18:31.599 --> 00:18:35.079 is his younger kids haven't seen him pitch, so he 394 00:18:35.160 --> 00:18:38.119 wants to keep going. So you know, his middle son, 395 00:18:38.200 --> 00:18:41.640 Cooper gets to see him going. Charlie, his oldest son, 396 00:18:42.160 --> 00:18:44.519 loves to be around the ballpark, loves to watch him 397 00:18:44.559 --> 00:18:48.240 pitches into baseball. So that's part of the motivating factor. 398 00:18:48.319 --> 00:18:50.960 And also, you know, there would be a certain sense 399 00:18:51.000 --> 00:18:53.920 of fomo for Kershaw if he hung it up and 400 00:18:54.000 --> 00:18:57.279 this very talented Dodger team went on to win back 401 00:18:57.319 --> 00:18:59.920
