The Dodgers and Saint Louis, Missouri, as 22 00:00:54.399 --> 00:00:57.280 they wrap up their three game series with the Cardinals, 23 00:00:57.280 --> 00:00:59.799 your world champion Dodgers thirty eight and twenty seven on 24 00:00:59.840 --> 00:01:03.000 this season. After dropping the first two games of this 25 00:01:03.119 --> 00:01:06.200 series in San Louis, the Dodgers look to avoid getting 26 00:01:06.319 --> 00:01:09.840 swept as they send Clayton Kershaw to the mount of 27 00:01:09.840 --> 00:01:12.959 the future Hall of Famer, just twenty four strikeout, shy 28 00:01:13.079 --> 00:01:15.920 of three thousand in his career, still searching for his 29 00:01:15.959 --> 00:01:18.879 first win here in twenty twenty five. First pitch from 30 00:01:18.920 --> 00:01:21.680 Bush Stadium is coming up at eleven to fifteen. Between 31 00:01:21.719 --> 00:01:23.159 then and now, we got a lot to get to 32 00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:26.040 here on Morongo Casino, Dodgers on Deck, you're gonna hear 33 00:01:26.079 --> 00:01:30.120 from the Dodger manager Dave Roberts.

We got 37 00:01:40.319 --> 00:01:43.359 your Dodgers magical moment. We dive deeper into this pitching matchup. 38 00:01:43.560 --> 00:01:46.400 Kirsten Watson from Sports and at LA will join us 39 00:01:46.400 --> 00:01:48.959 live from the field at Busch Stadium in just a 40 00:01:48.959 --> 00:01:50.719 few minutes. We head out to Tim Neverd and Rick 41 00:01:50.760 --> 00:01:53.920 Monday in the gallupin Motors Broadcast booth. 42 00:01:53.959 --> 00:01:54.200 Well. 43 00:01:54.280 --> 00:01:58.400 Yesterday at Busch Stadium, it was a pitchers duel, Eric 44 00:01:58.519 --> 00:02:03.040 Fetti and Yoshi Yama going toe to toe into the 45 00:02:03.159 --> 00:02:07.359 sixth inning. Ya'm a moto six shutout innings, scattered four hits, 46 00:02:07.439 --> 00:02:11.439 struck out nine along the way, his curveball and splitter 47 00:02:11.599 --> 00:02:16.080 almost unhittable yesterday. Fetti meanwhile, pitched into the sixth inning, 48 00:02:16.520 --> 00:02:20.800 walked four, gave up four hits. Dodgers had traffic on 49 00:02:20.840 --> 00:02:24.080 the base pass, but like the night before, just could 50 00:02:24.120 --> 00:02:27.560 not deliver with runners in scoring position for the first 51 00:02:27.560 --> 00:02:30.879 six innings. It remained scoreless into the bottom half of 52 00:02:30.919 --> 00:02:35.280 the eighth innings. Alex Burlson reached on an infield single 53 00:02:35.800 --> 00:02:40.280 with Benksparius on the mount a wild throw, win scored, 54 00:02:40.879 --> 00:02:43.840 and the Cardinals were on top one to nothing going 55 00:02:43.879 --> 00:02:46.759 to the top half of the ninth inning. The Dodgers 56 00:02:46.840 --> 00:02:50.599 get show Hey Otani on base, gets to third and 57 00:02:50.639 --> 00:02:52.520 then ties it up on a wild pitch. 58 00:02:53.240 --> 00:02:56.639 Okie Leeds at first, Otani at third, one two to 59 00:02:56.719 --> 00:03:00.280 Freddy Frieman play and it gets a way Hey, and 60 00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:04.319 here comes Otani to score. Freeman is out, but on 61 00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:08.199 the drop third strike with the wild pitch, Otani comes 62 00:03:08.240 --> 00:03:10.360 in and tie is the game at one? 63 00:03:11.120 --> 00:03:12.560 Is this a strange game of what? 64 00:03:13.560 --> 00:03:15.840 Yeah? How about that Showy Otani? He had reached on 65 00:03:15.879 --> 00:03:18.719 an infield single. They hit the second base bag with 66 00:03:18.879 --> 00:03:21.400 one out in the top of the ninth inning, Mookie 67 00:03:21.400 --> 00:03:24.719 Bets's single pushed him to third base. Freddie Freeman struck 68 00:03:24.759 --> 00:03:27.800 out with one out, but the drop third strike allowed 69 00:03:27.800 --> 00:03:31.560 Otani to score, and that tied the game at one. 70 00:03:31.680 --> 00:03:34.680 Ben Casparius back out to pitch the top half or 71 00:03:34.680 --> 00:03:36.960 the that the bottom half of the ninth inning, game 72 00:03:37.039 --> 00:03:39.680 tight at one. Gorman and rb Are a ground rule 73 00:03:39.719 --> 00:03:42.319 double that put the go ahead and winning run at 74 00:03:42.319 --> 00:03:47.080 second base. Two batters later, with five infielders, Nola fielder, 75 00:03:47.159 --> 00:03:51.439 Dodgers trying to induce a double playball from Nolan Aeronado. Instead, 76 00:03:51.879 --> 00:03:52.800 he walks him off. 77 00:03:53.520 --> 00:03:57.000 Won one pitch, swing on and hit in the air 78 00:03:57.000 --> 00:03:58.520 to the left. This is gonna do it. 79 00:03:59.560 --> 00:04:01.879 That's just going to drop in safely for a hit. 80 00:04:02.000 --> 00:04:05.759 Perrero scores and the Cardinals have walked off two to one, 81 00:04:07.199 --> 00:04:11.840 a walk off pinch hit for Nolan Aronauto. It's the 82 00:04:11.879 --> 00:04:14.800 third time this year the Cardinals have walked off in 83 00:04:14.919 --> 00:04:16.720 the second time this week. 84 00:04:19.079 --> 00:04:21.720 Yeah, how about that. The Dodgers tight in the top 85 00:04:21.759 --> 00:04:24.160 of the ninth lose it In the bottom of the ninth. 86 00:04:24.279 --> 00:04:27.240 Ryan Helsley gets the win. After the blown safe, Ben 87 00:04:27.319 --> 00:04:30.480 Kusparius gets his first loss, he falls to four and 88 00:04:30.600 --> 00:04:32.959 one as the Cardinals win it two to one. They 89 00:04:33.000 --> 00:04:35.560 win their first two games of this three game series. 90 00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:38.600 Dodgers now thirty eight and twenty seven, just a one 91 00:04:38.680 --> 00:04:41.360 game lead in the NL West, and today they look 92 00:04:41.399 --> 00:04:44.319 to get back on track before heady to San Diego 93 00:04:44.399 --> 00:04:48.199 for a huge three game series against the Padres. But 94 00:04:48.399 --> 00:04:50.560 first things first, they need to take care of business 95 00:04:50.639 --> 00:04:53.000 and get out of Saint Louis with at least a win. 96 00:04:53.160 --> 00:04:56.439 Clayton Kershaw on the mound in the series finale, first 97 00:04:56.439 --> 00:04:58.839 pitching Bush Stadium at eleven fifteen and with more we 98 00:04:58.839 --> 00:05:01.199 head out to the gallupin Bote broadcast boot as we 99 00:05:01.199 --> 00:05:03.480 say good morning to Tim Nevert and Rick Monday. 100 00:05:03.519 --> 00:05:06.399 Guys, Tim, thanks very much here in Saint Louis. It 101 00:05:06.519 --> 00:05:08.680 is a beautiful day. That's the first time we can 102 00:05:08.720 --> 00:05:11.959 really say that since we've been here for this series. 103 00:05:12.000 --> 00:05:16.959 But sunshine, blue skies, and baseball coming your way from 104 00:05:17.000 --> 00:05:19.399 the Midwest. As the Dodgers look to salvage a game 105 00:05:19.480 --> 00:05:22.560 in this three game series, Dodgers find themselves just a 106 00:05:22.639 --> 00:05:26.800 game up on San Diego and San Francisco Dodgers. Oh, 107 00:05:27.000 --> 00:05:29.720 thanks to the Brewers last night for a walk off 108 00:05:29.800 --> 00:05:33.959 run to defeat San Diego. But thirty eight and twenty 109 00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:37.639 seven the record for the Dodgers. They have lost six 110 00:05:37.759 --> 00:05:40.480 of their last ten games. They're one game under five 111 00:05:40.560 --> 00:05:44.360 hundred on the road now this year at fifteen and sixteen. Meantime, 112 00:05:44.399 --> 00:05:46.279 the Cardinals are four back of the Cubs in the 113 00:05:46.319 --> 00:05:50.959 Central Cardinals thirty six and twenty eight. Overall, the pitching 114 00:05:51.040 --> 00:05:55.959 matchup today is something something we're used to and something 115 00:05:55.959 --> 00:05:58.680 we're not. Clayton Kershaw something Dodger fans. 116 00:05:58.480 --> 00:05:59.160 Are used to us. 117 00:05:59.160 --> 00:06:03.319 He continues his west for three thousand strikeouts and for 118 00:06:03.360 --> 00:06:05.720 the first time this year. Michael McGreevy. You made his 119 00:06:05.720 --> 00:06:08.160 big league debut last year with the Cardinals. Former first 120 00:06:08.240 --> 00:06:11.279 round draft choice called up from Triple A to make 121 00:06:11.319 --> 00:06:14.759 the start. Moll the big story really is the lack 122 00:06:14.920 --> 00:06:17.920 of run production for the Dodgers in this series, the 123 00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:21.279 lack of hitting with runners in scoring position. How does 124 00:06:21.319 --> 00:06:22.040 that turn around? 125 00:06:22.160 --> 00:06:24.319 Well, I think first of all, the mindset has to 126 00:06:24.319 --> 00:06:27.000 be not to take the field trying to salvage a 127 00:06:27.079 --> 00:06:29.600 game in this series. I think you have to take 128 00:06:29.800 --> 00:06:32.160 the field with the idea this is the day you 129 00:06:32.319 --> 00:06:36.399 kick off the longest wind streak of the season. And 130 00:06:36.480 --> 00:06:38.680 I say that full well is no I'm going to 131 00:06:38.720 --> 00:06:41.399 smile on my face or anything else. That's the attitude 132 00:06:41.439 --> 00:06:43.920 of professional athlete. You have to be able to set 133 00:06:43.959 --> 00:06:46.680 that goals. Hey, look, today's the day that we start 134 00:06:46.720 --> 00:06:49.160 something that we needed to start a few days ago, 135 00:06:49.240 --> 00:06:52.040 no question about that. But I think the biggest thing 136 00:06:52.120 --> 00:06:54.240 is it trying to cut down on the swings. Some 137 00:06:54.319 --> 00:06:56.839 of the swings a little bit too big. Therefore, when 138 00:06:56.879 --> 00:06:58.680 you have the big swing, it's a little bit long, 139 00:06:58.920 --> 00:07:01.800 long swing. And if we look at the Cardinals the success, 140 00:07:01.839 --> 00:07:03.920 you know they not hit the ball knock the cover 141 00:07:03.959 --> 00:07:06.759 off of it either. But it's strange Dodgers have lost 142 00:07:06.759 --> 00:07:08.480 two in a row, being one for twenty five with 143 00:07:08.560 --> 00:07:11.120 runners in scoring position, and yet you look at the 144 00:07:11.160 --> 00:07:14.560 Saint Louis Cardinals. They've had only twelve at bats total 145 00:07:15.160 --> 00:07:17.759 and only three hits with runners in scoring position, but 146 00:07:17.800 --> 00:07:20.439 they have been timely. The other part, too, is the 147 00:07:20.519 --> 00:07:24.360 Dodgers need to tighten the defense. They're not playing really 148 00:07:24.519 --> 00:07:28.240 Dodgers type of baseball to this particular point in this series. 149 00:07:28.040 --> 00:07:30.480 The Dodgers' best outfield arm is on the bench today. 150 00:07:30.519 --> 00:07:33.920 Andy pa has after ending his eleven game his streak yesterday, 151 00:07:34.279 --> 00:07:35.199 Yes today, all. 152 00:07:35.199 --> 00:07:36.720 Yeah, a little bit of a breather. 153 00:07:36.879 --> 00:07:40.079 I mean, he's had a lot of ground to cover, 154 00:07:40.160 --> 00:07:43.439 there's no question about that in playing and for the Cardinals, 155 00:07:43.439 --> 00:07:45.879 you know they're trying desperately. This is the wonderful thing 156 00:07:45.879 --> 00:07:49.040 about competition. Cardinals are trying to close the gap on 157 00:07:49.079 --> 00:07:52.319 the surprising Chicago Cubs. Surprising from the standpoint they've won 158 00:07:52.360 --> 00:07:54.600 seven of ten. They're four games in front of the 159 00:07:54.639 --> 00:07:59.079 Saint Louis Cardinals. But there's another team behind the Cardinals, Milwaukee, 160 00:07:59.120 --> 00:08:01.360 just five and a half and the Brewers have won 161 00:08:01.439 --> 00:08:03.480 eight of their last ten. So there's a lot going 162 00:08:03.519 --> 00:08:05.959 on in that Western Division with the Dodgers. There's a 163 00:08:06.040 --> 00:08:08.240 lot going on in the Central Division with the Cardinals. 164 00:08:08.600 --> 00:08:12.800 So Otani leading off again as usual, Tascar Hernandez back 165 00:08:12.839 --> 00:08:15.560 in the lineup today after a day off yesterday. Looked 166 00:08:15.600 --> 00:08:17.720 like tay Oscar is really struggling, in spite of the 167 00:08:17.759 --> 00:08:20.600 fact he had a double in Game one. In recent days, 168 00:08:20.639 --> 00:08:22.480 he's been chasing a lot of pitches, a lot of 169 00:08:22.480 --> 00:08:26.199 sliders outside and just hasn't been as productive and sometimes 170 00:08:26.199 --> 00:08:26.800 a breather. 171 00:08:26.639 --> 00:08:29.240 Can help handles the bolt inside as well as anyone 172 00:08:29.279 --> 00:08:31.839 in baseball. The breaking ball, as you mentioned, in particular 173 00:08:31.879 --> 00:08:35.120 away from right handed batters, has been problematic. That's got 174 00:08:35.159 --> 00:08:38.480 to change, and how does the hitter change that? First 175 00:08:38.519 --> 00:08:41.200 of all, from a mindset, think more up the middle 176 00:08:41.399 --> 00:08:42.440 and not pull the ball. 177 00:08:43.240 --> 00:08:46.120 Dave Roberts gave an update on Tony Gonsolin, who had 178 00:08:46.159 --> 00:08:49.480 an MRI here at Saint Louis on his right pitching elbow. Again, 179 00:08:49.519 --> 00:08:52.960 He's on the injured list with a sore right elbow, 180 00:08:53.000 --> 00:08:56.080 but the word is that the ulner collateral ligament, the 181 00:08:56.200 --> 00:09:00.440 UCL is intact. So that was good news on the 182 00:09:00.480 --> 00:09:02.519 part of Tony Gonsolin that he got from. 183 00:09:02.360 --> 00:09:06.679 The doctors, and I would imagine the Gonsolin exhaled a 184 00:09:06.720 --> 00:09:09.080 lot when he got the news on that. It's still 185 00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:11.679 going to be a work in progress, but that's good 186 00:09:11.679 --> 00:09:12.440 news initially. 187 00:09:12.799 --> 00:09:15.159 And the Dodgers did set their pitching rotation for the 188 00:09:15.200 --> 00:09:18.679 next series, although there is some question mark what's gonna 189 00:09:18.679 --> 00:09:22.039 happen on Tuesday.

Otherwise it's out. Number two rookie. 225 00:11:32.080 --> 00:11:35.440 Leeds at first, Otani at third one two to Freddy 226 00:11:35.480 --> 00:11:39.720 Freeman plag and it gets away and here comes Otani 227 00:11:39.799 --> 00:11:43.679 to score. Freeman is out, but on the drop third 228 00:11:43.679 --> 00:11:47.240 strike with a wild pitch, Otani comes in and ties 229 00:11:47.320 --> 00:11:48.759 the game at one. 230 00:11:49.519 --> 00:11:52.200 Is this a strange game of what show? 231 00:11:52.240 --> 00:11:52.399 Hey? 232 00:11:52.440 --> 00:11:55.440 Otani a single up the middle to hit the second base, 233 00:11:55.559 --> 00:11:58.399 Bag advanced to third on the Mookie bed single and 234 00:11:58.440 --> 00:12:00.960 then scores the lone Dodgers run in the top half 235 00:12:00.960 --> 00:12:04.279 of the ninth inning yesterday on a drop third strike. 236 00:12:04.440 --> 00:12:06.519 The Dodgers Zell would give up a run, a walk 237 00:12:06.559 --> 00:12:10.879 off RBI double from Nolan Aeronado in the bottom half 238 00:12:10.879 --> 00:12:13.519 of the ninth inning as a lose to the Cardinals 239 00:12:13.600 --> 00:12:15.279 yesterday two to one. 240 00:12:15.679 --> 00:12:19.559 This is Kirston's corner with Kirston Watson. 241 00:12:20.200 --> 00:12:22.679 Hey Kirson now joins us from Saint Louis.

I know 246 00:12:33.720 --> 00:12:36.960 Dodger fans panicking a little bit right now, Keirson, with 247 00:12:37.000 --> 00:12:40.240 the way the offense not really scoring runs, especially in 248 00:12:40.279 --> 00:12:43.240 the Saint Louis series. How about the team the players 249 00:12:43.279 --> 00:12:44.320 a little concerning on. 250 00:12:44.279 --> 00:12:47.759 There in you know, I wouldn't say that it's concerning. 251 00:12:47.840 --> 00:12:51.360 I think there's just, uh, there's some frustration because of 252 00:12:51.399 --> 00:12:53.320 course they want to score their runs and they're getting 253 00:12:53.320 --> 00:12:56.279 on base or providing themselves with opportunities to score runs, 254 00:12:56.799 --> 00:12:58.519 and even yesterday we saw them score on the wild 255 00:12:58.600 --> 00:13:00.240 tape they got lucky with the show hey Ball that 256 00:13:00.279 --> 00:13:03.200 they hit off the bag. So you're seeing situations like that. 257 00:13:03.559 --> 00:13:05.559 But it's a matter of yes, you're right, they want 258 00:13:05.600 --> 00:13:07.519 to win and in order to do that they have 259 00:13:07.600 --> 00:13:10.440 to kind of potentially work through some things at the 260 00:13:10.480 --> 00:13:13.519 plate with their approach. But Dave Roberts today did say, 261 00:13:13.759 --> 00:13:16.120 as much as maybe the results aren't showing and there 262 00:13:16.159 --> 00:13:18.720 are a few guys who are scuffling, he does feel 263 00:13:18.720 --> 00:13:20.840 like it's a veteran group. They know who they are, 264 00:13:20.879 --> 00:13:23.120 they can state as who they are. They're not chasing 265 00:13:23.159 --> 00:13:26.159 and they're not trying to overdo things of coursing situations. 266 00:13:26.480 --> 00:13:28.600 So it's just a matter of Look, they do want 267 00:13:28.639 --> 00:13:30.200 to salvage the series. They do not want to get 268 00:13:30.240 --> 00:13:32.360 slept by the Cardinals. They do want to figure some 269 00:13:32.440 --> 00:13:34.919 things out today. As a young picture going for the Cardinals, 270 00:13:34.919 --> 00:13:36.960 they're gonna have to find ways to get to him 271 00:13:36.960 --> 00:13:39.720 because he has been quite efficient as of late. So 272 00:13:39.759 --> 00:13:42.559 hopefully they can get things going early to also give 273 00:13:42.559 --> 00:13:44.399 that run support for Clayt Kershaw, who's going to be 274 00:13:44.440 --> 00:13:45.080 on the mountain today. 275 00:13:45.200 --> 00:13:48.240 Yeah, Clayton Kershaw is still looking for his first win 276 00:13:48.399 --> 00:13:51.919 here in twenty twenty five and just twenty four strikeouts 277 00:13:51.960 --> 00:13:53.600 away from three thousand. 278 00:13:54.840 --> 00:13:58.120 Yeah, and for him, you know, when Dave Roberts was 279 00:13:58.159 --> 00:14:01.159 talking about him today, he said, you know, what has 280 00:14:01.200 --> 00:14:06.519 been consistent about Quinton Kershaw this year has been the inconsistency. 281 00:14:06.679 --> 00:14:09.840 And so for him, it's that fastball command. It's just 282 00:14:10.240 --> 00:14:12.720 sometimes it's there and it's sufficient and it's sharp and 283 00:14:12.759 --> 00:14:14.840 it's the Kursha that we know super well, and other 284 00:14:14.919 --> 00:14:17.039 times it's just not quite in sync. And even in 285 00:14:17.080 --> 00:14:19.799 his last one, he just felt like, you know, the 286 00:14:19.840 --> 00:14:22.480 stuff wasn't there, it wasn't good enough where he likes 287 00:14:22.519 --> 00:14:24.399 it to be. And we know what happened in that 288 00:14:24.480 --> 00:14:26.480 game and how next month he was able to kind 289 00:14:26.519 --> 00:14:28.159 of bounce back from the air and late in the 290 00:14:28.200 --> 00:14:29.960 game get the home run to win the game. So 291 00:14:30.639 --> 00:14:34.600 it's just it's a situation in which he's looking to 292 00:14:34.600 --> 00:14:36.480 get in sync and kind of be that guy he's 293 00:14:36.639 --> 00:14:38.759 used to being. It does look a little bit different 294 00:14:38.840 --> 00:14:41.120 right now. Of course, he is coming off with injury 295 00:14:41.120 --> 00:14:43.399 and things like that, but he of course wants to 296 00:14:43.399 --> 00:14:45.879 get back to him true self and so hopefully today 297 00:14:46.120 --> 00:14:47.559 he can do that. It is going to be a 298 00:14:47.600 --> 00:14:50.720 tall task going against this Cardinal's lineup. But you know, 299 00:14:50.879 --> 00:14:53.039 for Kershaw, he is one of the greatest of all time. 300 00:14:53.120 --> 00:14:55.200 He's a first ballot Hall of Famer. There's no doubt 301 00:14:55.240 --> 00:14:57.159 about that. It's just a matter of how can he 302 00:14:57.200 --> 00:15:00.240 get things going, be efficient, but also you know, out 303 00:15:00.240 --> 00:15:02.200 there eat some innings because we do want to see 304 00:15:02.240 --> 00:15:04.919 these starters take on some debt to also help protect 305 00:15:04.919 --> 00:15:06.879 the bullpins, who we know the usage has been high 306 00:15:06.919 --> 00:15:07.639 for them all year. 307 00:15:08.000 --> 00:15:10.039 Great day to get a victory, then a happy flight 308 00:15:10.080 --> 00:15:13.679 to San Diego for a big series against the Padres. 309 00:15:13.720 --> 00:15:16.559 But take care of business first, curiously that we appreciate it. 310 00:15:16.559 --> 00:15:18.000 We'll check with you after the game. Still to come 311 00:15:18.039 --> 00:15:20.519 here on Morongo Casino Dodgers on deck, we'll dive deeper 312 00:15:20.600 --> 00:15:23.080 to this pitching matchup.

Clayton Kershaw, Michael McGreevy the 325 00:16:09.840 --> 00:16:12.960 pitching matchup. First pitch coming up at eleven fifteen. 326 00:16:13.600 --> 00:16:18.120 This it's the LA Dodgers Injury. 327 00:16:17.759 --> 00:16:21.039 Report, presented by UCLA Healthy, official medical partner of your 328 00:16:21.039 --> 00:16:24.200 Los Angeles Dodgers. Tony Gonsolin yesterday plays back on the 329 00:16:24.240 --> 00:16:27.480 iel with the right elbow soreness. Tyler Glassnell on the 330 00:16:27.480 --> 00:16:30.159 iel with the shoulder inflammation, Blake Snell on the IL, 331 00:16:30.320 --> 00:16:34.039 Luis Garcia Rookie Sasaki, Blake trying to Bruce Dark graderol 332 00:16:34.120 --> 00:16:36.320 All on the IL trying to work their way back. 333 00:16:36.360 --> 00:16:38.960 Immit Sheen working his way back from Tommy John surgery 334 00:16:38.960 --> 00:16:41.399 a year ago. He is in Triple A, Oklahoma City. 335 00:16:41.440 --> 00:16:44.480 A name to continue to keep listening for as he 336 00:16:44.480 --> 00:16:47.200 could be an added arm to this rotation in the 337 00:16:47.240 --> 00:16:49.200 next month or so. All Right, we head back out 338 00:16:49.240 --> 00:16:51.320 to Bush Stadium in Saint Louis and check in with 339 00:16:51.399 --> 00:16:55.559 the Dodger Skipper. Anything else Dave Questions for Dave. 340 00:16:55.639 --> 00:16:57.720 Dave, can you just describe Dave? 341 00:16:57.799 --> 00:17:01.240 Can you talk about the pressure in the dugouts with 342 00:17:01.480 --> 00:17:02.320 Dave Robbers? 343 00:17:03.120 --> 00:17:05.200 You know what, I think that there's a few guys 344 00:17:05.480 --> 00:17:08.279 in our lineup right now that are really feeling pretty 345 00:17:08.319 --> 00:17:11.559 good at the plate, and there's guys right now that 346 00:17:11.680 --> 00:17:13.720 are trying to find their swings a little bit not 347 00:17:13.799 --> 00:17:17.400 as comfortable. I just think that we just got to 348 00:17:17.480 --> 00:17:22.279 continue to create opportunities. But you know, it's a veteran group, 349 00:17:22.519 --> 00:17:25.279 you know, and ironically a couple of the younger guys 350 00:17:25.319 --> 00:17:29.160 are feeling pretty good at the plate. Giving Andy Pajes 351 00:17:29.200 --> 00:17:31.960 a day today. I think he's played eight or nine 352 00:17:32.000 --> 00:17:33.920 in a row, so just give him a blow getting 353 00:17:33.920 --> 00:17:37.079 ready for the San Diego series and pay Song swinging 354 00:17:37.119 --> 00:17:40.200 about well, So just to get him another start too, Dude. 355 00:17:40.039 --> 00:17:42.839 What have you seen from Kershaw from his first start 356 00:17:42.960 --> 00:17:44.400 to his last start? 357 00:17:45.640 --> 00:17:46.799 I think the. 358 00:17:49.119 --> 00:17:53.960 I think what's been consistent is the inconsistency of the command. 359 00:17:54.839 --> 00:17:59.240 I think that's the main thing where I think there's 360 00:17:59.319 --> 00:18:03.519 a certainly uncharacteristic walks in there getting behind some counts, 361 00:18:04.279 --> 00:18:07.680 which is so uncharacteristic of Clayton. So I think that's 362 00:18:07.839 --> 00:18:12.359 probably the main thing today. If we can sort of 363 00:18:12.559 --> 00:18:16.240 get harnessed at fastball to both sides of the play, 364 00:18:16.640 --> 00:18:19.359 get the slider doing what it's what it's supposed to do, 365 00:18:19.440 --> 00:18:22.079 what we've come to know it to do. When he 366 00:18:22.160 --> 00:18:25.319 does get count leverage, that'll be a tell, you know, 367 00:18:25.480 --> 00:18:29.079 if we're putting balls in play with two strikes, then 368 00:18:29.160 --> 00:18:32.079 it's kind of not doing what we wanted to do. 369 00:18:32.279 --> 00:18:33.119 What do you ache? 370 00:18:33.119 --> 00:18:35.200 All Right, there's a magic Dave Roberts talking to the 371 00:18:35.279 --> 00:18:39.519 media in particular about today's starter, Clayton Kershaw and what 372 00:18:39.720 --> 00:18:41.720 he needs to do to be effective.
