00:01:44.840 --> 00:01:48.519
<v Speaker 7>Yesterday, the Dodgers finished off the Giants to remain in

40
00:01:48.640 --> 00:01:51.959
<v Speaker 7>sole possession of first place in the NL West. Dustin

41
00:01:52.120 --> 00:01:54.879
<v Speaker 7>May got the start. The right hander win six innings.

42
00:01:54.920 --> 00:01:58.200
<v Speaker 7>He allowed three runs, six h struck out three, had

43
00:01:58.239 --> 00:02:01.280
<v Speaker 7>some control issues, walked for hit a couple of batters.

44
00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:04.359
<v Speaker 7>The Dodgers offense so gave Dustin May all the run

45
00:02:04.400 --> 00:02:07.640
<v Speaker 7>support he wouldn't need. Starting in the first Andy Pajez

46
00:02:07.719 --> 00:02:10.439
<v Speaker 7>a sack fly that had the bases loaded and scored

47
00:02:10.439 --> 00:02:13.240
<v Speaker 7>a run. Dodgers grabbed the early one nothing lead. In

48
00:02:13.319 --> 00:02:16.520
<v Speaker 7>this second, Tommy Edmund flexing his muscles.

49
00:02:17.560 --> 00:02:20.199
<v Speaker 8>This one swung on drill the right fielding deep hit

50
00:02:20.280 --> 00:02:21.199
<v Speaker 8>his headed back.

51
00:02:21.080 --> 00:02:21.960
<v Speaker 5>Toward the wall.

52
00:02:22.039 --> 00:02:23.360
<v Speaker 6>It is over the wall.

53
00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:24.159
<v Speaker 2>To home run.

54
00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:27.560
<v Speaker 8>Tommy hadn't in his ten poeme run of the seasons

55
00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:32.639
<v Speaker 8>a solo shot and the Dodgers lead it two to nothing.

56
00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:35.919
<v Speaker 8>But I got a cutter that was left up out

57
00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:38.879
<v Speaker 8>over and he just annihilated him.

58
00:02:39.759 --> 00:02:42.400
<v Speaker 7>Solo home run for Tommy takes his tenth of the year.

59
00:02:42.439 --> 00:02:45.599
<v Speaker 7>Dodgers up two to nothing. Dust and May his control

60
00:02:45.759 --> 00:02:47.960
<v Speaker 7>was in the issue. It was on displaying the fourth

61
00:02:48.120 --> 00:02:49.840
<v Speaker 7>with two outs of single, then he hit by a

62
00:02:49.840 --> 00:02:52.280
<v Speaker 7>pitch of batter. An RBI single from cost made it

63
00:02:52.319 --> 00:02:54.800
<v Speaker 7>a three to one game. Next batter Jung Hu Lee

64
00:02:54.840 --> 00:02:57.560
<v Speaker 7>a two run triple and the Giants took a three

65
00:02:57.599 --> 00:03:00.159
<v Speaker 7>to two lead. In the fifth, the Dodgers top up

66
00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:03.439
<v Speaker 7>with the lineup got the offense going show a Otani

67
00:03:03.479 --> 00:03:04.280
<v Speaker 7>a leadof single.

68
00:03:04.319 --> 00:03:06.439
<v Speaker 1>Bookie Betts followed the single to center.

69
00:03:06.520 --> 00:03:09.400
<v Speaker 7>Three batters later, a pitching change, then two to one,

70
00:03:09.800 --> 00:03:12.000
<v Speaker 7>two out for Andie Pius.

71
00:03:12.280 --> 00:03:14.560
<v Speaker 8>Well, what pitch that one has swung on and a

72
00:03:14.560 --> 00:03:17.039
<v Speaker 8>hammer tape to the left field. It's heading back toward

73
00:03:17.080 --> 00:03:17.719
<v Speaker 8>the walls.

74
00:03:18.159 --> 00:03:19.639
<v Speaker 3>God a three.

75
00:03:19.479 --> 00:03:24.719
<v Speaker 8>Run home run and the pass with home run number thirteen,

76
00:03:25.599 --> 00:03:29.280
<v Speaker 8>and he fetch the score over and the Dodgers now.

77
00:03:29.199 --> 00:03:30.919
<v Speaker 3>Lead it five to three.

78
00:03:32.560 --> 00:03:35.639
<v Speaker 8>Oh, he got one, a slider right down the middle,

79
00:03:35.680 --> 00:03:38.520
<v Speaker 8>and he absolutely obliterated the baseball.

80
00:03:39.080 --> 00:03:42.240
<v Speaker 7>A three run home run for Andy Pojez is thirteenth

81
00:03:42.319 --> 00:03:44.159
<v Speaker 7>of the season. That's the top tier play of the game,

82
00:03:44.159 --> 00:03:46.919
<v Speaker 7>brought to you by Arco Quality, top tier gas for less.

86
00:03:56.159 --> 00:03:59.840
<v Speaker 7>games since May twenty fourth. Dustin May win six innings,

87
00:03:59.840 --> 00:04:01.919
<v Speaker 7>turn it over to Alex Vesia, who put up a

88
00:04:02.039 --> 00:04:04.520
<v Speaker 7>zero in the seventh. Kirby Yates gave up a solo

89
00:04:04.560 --> 00:04:06.639
<v Speaker 7>home run in the eighth, but limited the damage.

90
00:04:06.919 --> 00:04:08.240
<v Speaker 1>Dodgers a five to four lead.

91
00:04:08.240 --> 00:04:10.840
<v Speaker 7>In the ninth, Tanner Scott struck out the side ball

<v Speaker 7>big night at Dodgers Stadium.

<v Speaker 1>A sold out crowd.

100
00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:38.360

00:04:57.519 --> 00:04:59.759
<v Speaker 5>Dodgers Stadium, not just because the sun is shining or

109
00:04:59.759 --> 00:05:01.759
<v Speaker 5>because the Dodgers in first place and he got a

110
00:05:01.800 --> 00:05:04.480
<v Speaker 5>big series against the Padres Mullets. Because for the first

111
00:05:04.480 --> 00:05:07.639
<v Speaker 5>time in six hundred and sixty three days, show Hey

112
00:05:07.680 --> 00:05:10.800
<v Speaker 5>O'tani will take a Major League mound. He's going to

113
00:05:11.000 --> 00:05:13.120
<v Speaker 5>show off his two way prowess for the first time

114
00:05:13.160 --> 00:05:14.040
<v Speaker 5>in Dodger Blue.

115
00:05:14.360 --> 00:05:17.800
<v Speaker 2>August twenty third, twenty twenty three, the last time that

116
00:05:17.879 --> 00:05:21.160
<v Speaker 2>the show Hey Otani pitched on a major League ballgame,

117
00:05:21.639 --> 00:05:24.480
<v Speaker 2>and Dave Roberts was asked a couple of hours ago

118
00:05:25.040 --> 00:05:27.360
<v Speaker 2>as he was meeting with the meeting. He goes, hey, look,

119
00:05:27.439 --> 00:05:30.199
<v Speaker 2>this is a big deal and there's no if ins

120
00:05:30.240 --> 00:05:31.800
<v Speaker 2>and butts about us, so it's going to be interesting,

121
00:05:31.839 --> 00:05:33.920
<v Speaker 2>you know. Dave says, Look, we're kind of maneuvering around

122
00:05:34.360 --> 00:05:38.040
<v Speaker 2>and O'tani is chomping at the bit in order to

123
00:05:38.079 --> 00:05:41.160
<v Speaker 2>get there. He's checked off all the boxes basically said, Okay,

124
00:05:41.199 --> 00:05:43.399
<v Speaker 2>what else do we need to do? Well, they're going

125
00:05:43.480 --> 00:05:45.120
<v Speaker 2>to be looking at pitch coumpt. They're going to be

126
00:05:45.199 --> 00:05:49.079
<v Speaker 2>checking with him after the first inning, and then also

127
00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:52.279
<v Speaker 2>observing how the command is what we have seen in

128
00:05:52.319 --> 00:05:55.279
<v Speaker 2>the simulated games that he has thrown. The velocity has

129
00:05:55.319 --> 00:05:57.680
<v Speaker 2>been there, the movement has been there, and he has

130
00:05:57.720 --> 00:06:00.040
<v Speaker 2>rebounded physically very well after.

131
00:05:59.839 --> 00:06:03.639
<v Speaker 5>He There really shouldn't be any expectations, and.

132
00:06:03.519 --> 00:06:04.680
<v Speaker 3>That's for a couple of reasons.

133
00:06:04.720 --> 00:06:08.000
<v Speaker 5>One, he has proven time and again whatever your expectations

134
00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:10.439
<v Speaker 5>are from he's going to exceed him. But also just

135
00:06:10.480 --> 00:06:14.959
<v Speaker 5>from a physical standpoint, you're not expecting a ton of

136
00:06:15.000 --> 00:06:17.000
<v Speaker 5>innings out of him tonight. This is his first outing

137
00:06:17.040 --> 00:06:20.360
<v Speaker 5>and as we said, six hundred and sixty three days

138
00:06:21.079 --> 00:06:22.439
<v Speaker 5>on this particular stage.

139
00:06:22.279 --> 00:06:23.240
<v Speaker 3>That's a good ball club.

140
00:06:23.240 --> 00:06:25.199
<v Speaker 5>On the other side, if Ben Casperra is getting ready

141
00:06:25.199 --> 00:06:27.199
<v Speaker 5>to pitch in Bolk, this is really just about getting

142
00:06:27.279 --> 00:06:30.439
<v Speaker 5>him going and testing out the waters because the Dodgers

143
00:06:30.680 --> 00:06:33.720
<v Speaker 5>they don't have as a staff any familiarity with going

144
00:06:33.759 --> 00:06:34.120
<v Speaker 5>through it.

145
00:06:34.160 --> 00:06:35.639
<v Speaker 3>They've never seen it happen.

146
00:06:36.199 --> 00:06:38.920
<v Speaker 2>And no one's seen it happen. In fact, he's going

147
00:06:38.959 --> 00:06:40.759
<v Speaker 2>to be leading off on top of it, just the

148
00:06:40.800 --> 00:06:44.160
<v Speaker 2>third player in the National League since nineteen hundred to

149
00:06:44.240 --> 00:06:46.959
<v Speaker 2>start a game as a pitcher serve as a leadout

150
00:06:47.040 --> 00:06:50.600
<v Speaker 2>man nineteen oh one, Jim Jones did it, in nineteen

151
00:06:50.720 --> 00:06:54.279
<v Speaker 2>fifty three, Alvin Dark did it. And one thing about

152
00:06:54.319 --> 00:06:57.160
<v Speaker 2>it too, I don't think Dave Roberts or shoheo Atani

153
00:06:57.240 --> 00:07:00.800
<v Speaker 2>or the Dodgers itself want this premiere outing by Showhey

154
00:07:01.319 --> 00:07:05.480
<v Speaker 2>to really kind of whitewash the importance of playing this game.

155
00:07:05.560 --> 00:07:08.720
<v Speaker 2>This is a huge step forward, not just for Otani

156
00:07:08.920 --> 00:07:10.079
<v Speaker 2>but also for the Dodgers.

157
00:07:10.240 --> 00:07:12.600
<v Speaker 5>His bat has taken a big step forward the last

158
00:07:12.639 --> 00:07:15.279
<v Speaker 5>couple of games. He has reached in eight of his

159
00:07:15.399 --> 00:07:18.160
<v Speaker 5>last nine plate appearances, so starting to warm up the

160
00:07:18.160 --> 00:07:20.279
<v Speaker 5>big stick, as he's been preparing.

161
00:07:19.920 --> 00:07:21.279
<v Speaker 3>To warm up that right.

162
00:07:21.439 --> 00:07:23.680
<v Speaker 5>Arm I talked to Dalton Rushing a couple of days

163
00:07:23.680 --> 00:07:28.399
<v Speaker 5>ago as he caught one of Otani's recent live VP

164
00:07:28.600 --> 00:07:31.040
<v Speaker 5>sessions in his SIM game sessions. It's like hell hot,

165
00:07:31.079 --> 00:07:33.560
<v Speaker 5>he look and Dalton he's a rookie, right, and so

166
00:07:33.680 --> 00:07:35.879
<v Speaker 5>he never caught it before, Like Will Smith, Hadden's for

167
00:07:36.000 --> 00:07:36.920
<v Speaker 5>training adults just.

168
00:07:36.839 --> 00:07:39.079
<v Speaker 3>Shook his head and he's ready.

169
00:07:39.240 --> 00:07:42.439
<v Speaker 2>He's ready. And what they don't want to get overshadowed

170
00:07:42.519 --> 00:07:44.839
<v Speaker 2>is the Sandega Pondres have come in here three games

171
00:07:44.839 --> 00:07:47.759
<v Speaker 2>behind the Dodgers. Pondres are in third place, and Andreas

172
00:07:47.839 --> 00:07:49.720
<v Speaker 2>know that they have four games to try and right

173
00:07:49.800 --> 00:07:52.040
<v Speaker 2>the ship as far as the standings of the National League,

174
00:07:52.279 --> 00:07:55.639
<v Speaker 2>and don't let Otani overshadow the importance of playing this

175
00:07:55.720 --> 00:07:57.399
<v Speaker 2>series and playing it the right way.

176

<v Speaker 6>Dodgers Baseball.

201
00:09:06.240 --> 00:09:10.240
<v Speaker 7>It's the Dodgers and the Padres on this Monday night show.

202
00:09:10.440 --> 00:09:12.159
<v Speaker 1>Hey Otani on the Mount.

203
00:09:12.240 --> 00:09:15.240
<v Speaker 7>Dylan Cease would go for San Diego first pitch coming

204
00:09:15.320 --> 00:09:16.000
<v Speaker 7>up at sevent ten.

205
00:09:17.000 --> 00:09:19.879
<v Speaker 3>This is the Otani ree why.

206
00:09:19.960 --> 00:09:21.919
<v Speaker 8>And the pitch to him he swings hits a ground

207
00:09:21.919 --> 00:09:24.320
<v Speaker 8>ball in the right center of base ship. He didn't

208
00:09:24.360 --> 00:09:27.320
<v Speaker 8>wait around and the Dodgers have the lead off man

209
00:09:27.360 --> 00:09:29.799
<v Speaker 8>aboard in the bottom of the first inn. It left

210
00:09:29.840 --> 00:09:32.960
<v Speaker 8>on left here as Luke Casey delivers and Otani drops

211
00:09:33.000 --> 00:09:35.360
<v Speaker 8>in the left fail for a base yet it's toward

212
00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:38.919
<v Speaker 8>the gap. It is cut off by the left fielder Ramos,

213
00:09:38.960 --> 00:09:42.080
<v Speaker 8>holding Otani to a single and he has reached in

214
00:09:42.120 --> 00:09:45.559
<v Speaker 8>eight straight played appearances. One to one pitch and Otani

215
00:09:45.600 --> 00:09:49.159
<v Speaker 8>bounces one slowly towards second base. That is going to

216
00:09:49.240 --> 00:09:51.879
<v Speaker 8>be a bang bang play at first that Otani is

217
00:09:51.919 --> 00:09:53.159
<v Speaker 8>safe for the base hit.

218
00:09:54.600 --> 00:09:58.480
<v Speaker 7>Showy Otani three for three, three singles on bass four times,

219
00:09:58.480 --> 00:10:01.879
<v Speaker 7>including it a walk. Show Tani the hitter not batting

248
00:11:25.360 --> 00:11:29.799
<v Speaker 10>with each bullpen, each live it was kind of a

249
00:11:29.840 --> 00:11:32.559
<v Speaker 10>free flowing conversation in between to make sure that he

250
00:11:32.679 --> 00:11:38.279
<v Speaker 10>was feeling good bouncing back, and uh, you know, because

251
00:11:38.480 --> 00:11:41.720
<v Speaker 10>this is such a unique scenario making sure we're not

252
00:11:42.399 --> 00:11:46.639
<v Speaker 10>doing anything to put the offensive side in jeopardy. So uh,

253

<v Speaker 10>you know, it was only really up until this week

254

<v Speaker 1>Let's check in out with the Dodgers skpberd.

306
00:14:37.159 --> 00:14:40.200
<v Speaker 4>Anything the questions for Dave Dave?

307
00:14:40.320 --> 00:14:42.120
<v Speaker 3>Can you just describe Dave?

308
00:14:42.200 --> 00:14:44.639
<v Speaker 4>Can you talk about the pressure in.

309
00:14:44.679 --> 00:14:46.879
<v Speaker 3>The dugouts with Dave Roberts.

310
00:14:47.480 --> 00:14:50.919
<v Speaker 9>Davis is obviously unique for the first time checking pitching

311
00:14:51.320 --> 00:14:52.200
<v Speaker 9>with the Dodgers.

312
00:14:52.440 --> 00:14:54.200
<v Speaker 4>Which should the expectations be.

313
00:14:56.159 --> 00:14:59.960
<v Speaker 12>I think there should be a lot of uh excit

314
00:15:00.679 --> 00:15:05.240
<v Speaker 12>certainly anticipation. I think we're all waiting to see what

315
00:15:05.320 --> 00:15:09.679
<v Speaker 12>it looks like. You know, he's ready, he's adamant, he

316
00:15:09.679 --> 00:15:13.039
<v Speaker 12>feels good, strong, ready to pitch a major league game.

317
00:15:13.919 --> 00:15:15.799
<v Speaker 12>I'm not sure how long he's going to pitch tonight,

318
00:15:15.919 --> 00:15:19.399
<v Speaker 12>but I think everyone in that clubhouse, I think the

319
00:15:19.440 --> 00:15:21.720
<v Speaker 12>fans and media, we've been waiting for this moment.

320
00:15:22.480 --> 00:15:24.799
<v Speaker 2>What will determine how well he actually is on the

321
00:15:24.840 --> 00:15:25.480
<v Speaker 2>mount this year?

322
00:15:28.799 --> 00:15:32.960
<v Speaker 12>You know, I think, uh, you know how he looks

323
00:15:33.080 --> 00:15:36.600
<v Speaker 12>to be quite frank, the pitch count, you know how

324
00:15:36.639 --> 00:15:41.600
<v Speaker 12>he feels after the inning for us as Dodgers. This

325
00:15:41.639 --> 00:15:45.159
<v Speaker 12>is uncharted territory for us, It's been a while since

326
00:15:45.200 --> 00:15:47.720
<v Speaker 12>he's been on the mound. So I think that just

327
00:15:47.799 --> 00:15:50.159
<v Speaker 12>sort of right now, Jim leaving it open ended.

328
00:15:50.440 --> 00:15:52.279
<v Speaker 2>You see how he looks, what are some of the

329
00:15:52.320 --> 00:15:53.320
<v Speaker 2>specific things.

330
00:15:53.080 --> 00:15:54.159
<v Speaker 3>And how he's throwing the ball.

331
00:15:57.200 --> 00:16:01.200
<v Speaker 12>I think that they're certainly going to be some adrenaline,

332
00:16:01.399 --> 00:16:08.759
<v Speaker 12>some extra motion. You might not see it overtly from him,

333
00:16:08.919 --> 00:16:17.720
<v Speaker 12>just a command. I think armside house delivery, looks, stress, repeatability,

334
00:16:17.799 --> 00:16:19.480
<v Speaker 12>all that stuff is kind of what I'm kind of

335
00:16:19.559 --> 00:16:20.240
<v Speaker 12>keeping an eye on.

336
00:16:21.159 --> 00:16:23.399
<v Speaker 7>All Right, there's the manager, Dave Roberts in the dugout

337
00:16:23.399 --> 00:16:25.320
<v Speaker 7>with his pregame thoughts as we count you down to

338
00:16:25.399 --> 00:16:29.679
<v Speaker 7>first pitch, Dodgers and the Padres. The buzz is all

339
00:16:29.720 --> 00:16:33.759
<v Speaker 7>about show. Hey Otani making his Dodger debut on the mound.

340
00:16:33.919 --> 00:16:36.120
<v Speaker 7>We will continue here on Dodgers on Deck. We will

341
00:16:36.200 --> 00:16:39.519
<v Speaker 7>check in with David Bassey as we lead you up

342
00:16:39.600 --> 00:16:42.240
<v Speaker 7>to first pitch from Dodger Stadium. I'm Tim Kase's world

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

<v Speaker 6>Deck on the official home of La Dodgers Baseball.

<v Speaker 7>It's the Dodgers and the Padre is on this Monday

347
00:17:01.039 --> 00:17:01.960
<v Speaker 7>night series.

348
00:17:01.679 --> 00:17:03.120
<v Speaker 1>Opener from Dodger Stadium.

349
00:17:03.279 --> 00:17:07.240
<v Speaker 7>Show, Hey Otani on the mound, Dylan Cease, We'll go

350
00:17:07.359 --> 00:17:10.279
<v Speaker 7>for San Diego first pitch coming up at seven ten.

351
00:17:12.440 --> 00:17:15.960
<v Speaker 6>Joining Tim Cates on Dodgers on Deck. I accept everybody

352
00:17:16.000 --> 00:17:16.720
<v Speaker 6>for who they are.

353
00:17:16.839 --> 00:17:20.000
<v Speaker 3>This is Dodger insider David Basse.

354
00:17:20.960 --> 00:17:23.240
<v Speaker 1>Dave now joins us here at Dodger Stadium. Big Night

355
00:17:23.319 --> 00:17:24.279
<v Speaker 1>Dave Show.

356
00:17:24.359 --> 00:17:27.920
<v Speaker 7>Hey Otani makes his Dodgers debut as a pitcher. Now,

357
00:17:27.960 --> 00:17:30.240
<v Speaker 7>we've been talking about this for a week, so speculation

358
00:17:30.359 --> 00:17:32.000
<v Speaker 7>that would be post All Star break.

359
00:17:32.160 --> 00:17:33.759
<v Speaker 1>When did things change.

360
00:17:33.759 --> 00:17:37.160
<v Speaker 11>After that simulated game in San Diego, Tim that's where

361
00:17:37.240 --> 00:17:40.799
<v Speaker 11>Otani and the Dodgers decided this is not working out

362
00:17:40.839 --> 00:17:45.119
<v Speaker 11>where I'm pitching, getting ramped up, simulating innings, cooling down,

363
00:17:45.559 --> 00:17:48.240
<v Speaker 11>and then being the leadoff hitter as the DH So

364
00:17:48.720 --> 00:17:53.240
<v Speaker 11>they just figured why not just use these pitches in games?

365
00:17:53.519 --> 00:17:56.279
<v Speaker 11>And I know Dave Roberts and the Dodgers have said,

366
00:17:56.319 --> 00:17:58.920
<v Speaker 11>don't expect him to be back until after the All

367
00:17:58.960 --> 00:18:01.160
<v Speaker 11>Star Break, but if you think about it, there's the

368
00:18:01.240 --> 00:18:04.039
<v Speaker 11>schedule right there. He's a once a week pitcher, so

369
00:18:04.359 --> 00:18:08.680
<v Speaker 11>tonight likely just one inning, next week, two to three

370
00:18:09.160 --> 00:18:12.119
<v Speaker 11>after that, and it just keeps building up, and by

371
00:18:12.160 --> 00:18:15.119
<v Speaker 11>the time it's post All Star Break, he's built up

372
00:18:15.160 --> 00:18:17.960
<v Speaker 11>to go like a regular starter five or six innings.

373
00:18:17.960 --> 00:18:21.799
<v Speaker 11>So instead of building him up in simulated situations in

374
00:18:21.880 --> 00:18:25.720
<v Speaker 11>practice practice, they're getting him into games. And that's the

375
00:18:25.720 --> 00:18:28.839
<v Speaker 11>way they're building him up. So they really weren't trying

376
00:18:28.880 --> 00:18:32.640
<v Speaker 11>to deceive us. They just changed the method to get

377
00:18:32.680 --> 00:18:34.599
<v Speaker 11>him built up post All Star break.

378
00:18:35.039 --> 00:18:36.640
<v Speaker 7>David is brought to you by the twenty twenty five

379
00:18:36.720 --> 00:18:40.119
<v Speaker 7>Ford f one point fifty from California's best selling truck brand.

380
00:18:40.160 --> 00:18:42.519
<v Speaker 7>It's time to see Ford and a new light take

381
00:18:42.559 --> 00:18:46.160
<v Speaker 7>advantage of employee pricing through the end of June. David

382
00:18:46.200 --> 00:18:49.279
<v Speaker 7>how much of this is Showhy wanted to pitch now

383
00:18:49.559 --> 00:18:52.559
<v Speaker 7>as opposed to Mark pryor Dave Roberts the front office

384
00:18:52.559 --> 00:18:54.519
<v Speaker 7>saying okay, show Hey, we need you now.

385
00:18:54.720 --> 00:18:54.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

386
00:18:54.960 --> 00:18:58.720
<v Speaker 11>After that simulated game in San Diego, Dave Roberts has

387
00:18:58.759 --> 00:19:02.720
<v Speaker 11>said three different times that Shohy is getting quote antsy.

388
00:19:03.319 --> 00:19:05.359
<v Speaker 11>He even said it after the game last night when

389
00:19:05.400 --> 00:19:07.720
<v Speaker 11>he was hinting that this indeed was going to be

390
00:19:07.799 --> 00:19:12.240
<v Speaker 11>the day that O'tani did pitch. So you know, the

391
00:19:12.319 --> 00:19:15.559
<v Speaker 11>Dodgers have conceded they haven't been.

392
00:19:15.400 --> 00:19:17.160
<v Speaker 4>Through this before with Otani.

393
00:19:17.519 --> 00:19:20.319
<v Speaker 11>Otani's been through this before because he had Tommy John

394
00:19:20.440 --> 00:19:23.720
<v Speaker 11>surgery with the Angels, so he's coming back after his

395
00:19:23.799 --> 00:19:27.599
<v Speaker 11>second elbow surgery. They're letting him be the driving force

396
00:19:27.720 --> 00:19:31.559
<v Speaker 11>and letting him and doctor Neil Elatrosh be the ones

397
00:19:31.599 --> 00:19:34.200
<v Speaker 11>to really drive when he can come back and pitch.

398
00:19:34.319 --> 00:19:39.240
<v Speaker 11>So it's been a collaboration, but mostly it's Otani and

399
00:19:39.319 --> 00:19:43.000
<v Speaker 11>doctor Ela Trosh, along with Andrew Freeman and Dave Roberts

400
00:19:43.039 --> 00:19:45.640
<v Speaker 11>being on the same page and communicating and keeping those

401
00:19:45.640 --> 00:19:47.039
<v Speaker 11>lines of communication open.

402
00:19:47.400 --> 00:19:50.240
<v Speaker 7>Are you surprised, David when they made this announcement, When

403
00:19:50.240 --> 00:19:52.160
<v Speaker 7>you made the announcement on postgame last night?

404
00:19:52.359 --> 00:19:54.079
<v Speaker 1>Ticket prices through the roof.

405
00:19:54.240 --> 00:19:57.480
<v Speaker 7>The buzz in Los Angeles is like we've never seen

406
00:19:57.480 --> 00:20:01.480
<v Speaker 7>before with another Dodger player making his pitching. People around

407
00:20:01.480 --> 00:20:05.039
<v Speaker 7>Baseball talking about this today in June Otani back on

408
00:20:05.079 --> 00:20:05.400
<v Speaker 7>the mound.

409
00:20:05.519 --> 00:20:07.599
<v Speaker 1>Are you surprised to how big this is? He pitched

410
00:20:07.640 --> 00:20:09.519
<v Speaker 1>for six years in Anaheim.

411
00:20:09.759 --> 00:20:12.279
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, but just like everything else, what he did in

412
00:20:12.319 --> 00:20:16.000
<v Speaker 11>Anaheim is not as big as what he's doing with

413
00:20:16.119 --> 00:20:20.079
<v Speaker 11>the Dodgers. And I know Tonight's likely only going to

414
00:20:20.079 --> 00:20:24.119
<v Speaker 11>be one inning, But again, Tim, Dodger games with Otani

415
00:20:24.880 --> 00:20:29.519
<v Speaker 11>are not just games, they're events. I would say tonight

416
00:20:29.759 --> 00:20:33.720
<v Speaker 11>maybe one of the highlights of the sporting year in

417
00:20:33.880 --> 00:20:37.559
<v Speaker 11>Los Angeles sports, maybe even in Major League Baseball him

418
00:20:37.559 --> 00:20:40.680
<v Speaker 11>making his pitching debut with the Dodgers. So tonight is

419
00:20:40.720 --> 00:20:42.519
<v Speaker 11>not a Dodger game, it's an event.

420
00:20:43.640 --> 00:20:46.799
<v Speaker 7>It's also Blake Snell Bobblehead Night, David, it's getting overshadowed.

421
00:20:46.880 --> 00:20:50.000
<v Speaker 11>Don't bury the lead, Tim Tonight Snell Zilla Bobblehead Night.

422
00:20:50.279 --> 00:20:53.359
<v Speaker 11>It's unfortunate that he's not able to pitch, but after

423
00:20:53.359 --> 00:20:56.039
<v Speaker 11>the All Star break, looks like where he's circling to

424
00:20:56.039 --> 00:20:56.519
<v Speaker 11>come back.

425
00:20:56.839 --> 00:20:58.880
<v Speaker 7>Last we heard from Blake Snell was Saturday, just a

426
00:20:58.920 --> 00:20:59.559
<v Speaker 7>couple of days ago.

427
00:20:59.640 --> 00:21:00.799
<v Speaker 1>You were talking talking to Blake Snell.

428
00:21:01.319 --> 00:21:03.759
<v Speaker 7>You threw out there, maybe you can catch the first

429
00:21:03.759 --> 00:21:05.680
<v Speaker 7>pitch if he was gonna throw it out or somebody's

430
00:21:05.680 --> 00:21:07.519
<v Speaker 7>family gonna throw it out. Will we see you out

431
00:21:07.519 --> 00:21:08.240
<v Speaker 7>there in a few minutes.

432
00:21:08.359 --> 00:21:11.640
<v Speaker 11>Well, I mean, this is the opportunity, right since I

433
00:21:11.680 --> 00:21:15.200
<v Speaker 11>am filling in near the dugout, I'm very available if

434
00:21:15.240 --> 00:21:18.839
<v Speaker 11>things fall apart with whoever he's chosen his second choice.

435
00:21:18.880 --> 00:21:21.519
<v Speaker 11>Obviously I think mine was the first choice to have

436
00:21:21.680 --> 00:21:25.279
<v Speaker 11>me do it, but obviously you know the family guilt

437
00:21:25.519 --> 00:21:26.599
<v Speaker 11>you know comes into.

438
00:21:26.440 --> 00:21:27.240
<v Speaker 1>Play, no doubt.

439
00:21:27.279 --> 00:21:28.559

00:21:44.599 --> 00:21:47.240

450
00:22:04.920 --> 00:22:07.680
<v Speaker 7>on the mountain for the first time in a Dodger uniform.

451
00:22:08.000 --> 00:22:09.960
<v Speaker 7>You think it was the first time he ever pitched

452
00:22:10.000 --> 00:22:13.799
<v Speaker 7>in the Big leagues. Dodger Stadium crowd on their feet

453
00:22:13.839 --> 00:22:17.079
<v Speaker 7>along the third base line really from the Dodger Dugout

454
00:22:17.160 --> 00:22:19.880
<v Speaker 7>all the way down to the Dodgers' bullpen. There's a

455
00:22:20.000 --> 00:22:23.480
<v Speaker 7>row of Dodger fans literally hanging over the balcony on

456
00:22:23.519 --> 00:22:26.680
<v Speaker 7>the reserve level, looking down on the Dodger bullpen, waiting

457
00:22:26.680 --> 00:22:28.160
<v Speaker 7>for him to throw.

458
00:22:28.039 --> 00:22:28.920
<v Speaker 1>Warm up pitches.

459
00:22:28.960 --> 00:22:31.240
<v Speaker 7>First pitch coming up at seventen.

00:22:32.279 --> 00:22:36.400
<v Speaker 4>Dog, who wants a hot cup?

<v Speaker 1>Well, we don't have to go back far.

464
00:22:45.799 --> 00:22:49.799
<v Speaker 7>Last September twenty sixth here at Dodger Stadium, Dodgers and Padres,

465
00:22:50.039 --> 00:22:52.480
<v Speaker 7>it was a night in which the Dodgers clinched another

466
00:22:52.640 --> 00:22:53.680
<v Speaker 7>divisional title.

467
00:22:55.400 --> 00:22:57.880

<v Speaker 13>Dodgers do it again in twenty twenty four, for the

473
00:23:18.440 --> 00:23:23.000
<v Speaker 13>eleventh time in twelve years they wear the crown.

474
00:23:25.079 --> 00:23:29.079
<v Speaker 7>Dodgers clinched the division last September against the Padres, the

475
00:23:29.079 --> 00:23:31.920
<v Speaker 7>eleventh NL West title in the last twelve seasons, the

476
00:23:31.920 --> 00:23:33.839
<v Speaker 7>first time they clinched at home in front of fans

477
00:23:34.079 --> 00:23:37.839
<v Speaker 7>since Game one, sixty three of the twenty eighteen season

<v Speaker 3>On your home for the Blue All Season Law.

488
00:24:16.119 --> 00:24:19.000
<v Speaker 7>It's the Dodgers and the Padres on this Monday Night

489
00:24:19.079 --> 00:24:22.759
<v Speaker 7>Dodgers sitting all atop the NL West show, Hey Otani

490
00:24:23.000 --> 00:24:27.039
<v Speaker 7>makes his Dodgers debut, pitching against Dylan C's first Bitch

491
00:24:27.079 --> 00:24:29.000
<v Speaker 7>coming up at seventen.

492
00:24:29.000 --> 00:24:33.039
<v Speaker 6>People and now joined by David Bassey. Here's la Dodgers

493
00:24:33.160 --> 00:24:37.920
<v Speaker 6>broadcaster and World Series champion Dodger Rick Monday.

494
00:24:38.319 --> 00:24:41.039
<v Speaker 11>Rick, you and Steven have already touched on it, but

495
00:24:41.160 --> 00:24:43.960
<v Speaker 11>everybody I walk by a Dodgers stadium is saying how

496
00:24:44.000 --> 00:24:46.720
<v Speaker 11>exciting of a day it is today with Otani pitching.

497
00:24:46.799 --> 00:24:48.640
<v Speaker 2>All you had to do was to have your eyes

498
00:24:48.720 --> 00:24:51.519
<v Speaker 2>open as you drove into Dodgers Stadium tonight. There's something

499
00:24:51.559 --> 00:24:54.000
<v Speaker 2>a little special in the air. This is a big,

500
00:24:54.039 --> 00:24:56.200
<v Speaker 2>big deal. And if you were in the of the

501
00:24:56.240 --> 00:24:58.960
<v Speaker 2>press conference with Dave Roberts, and that's exactly what he's saying.

502
00:24:58.960 --> 00:25:02.119
<v Speaker 2>He says, this is a big deal tonight, not only

503
00:25:02.240 --> 00:25:05.839
<v Speaker 2>because of show, Heyotani, but also because the Sandego pundrees

504
00:25:05.839 --> 00:25:08.000
<v Speaker 2>are coming in here. Don't overlook them. They're three games

505
00:25:08.000 --> 00:25:10.279
<v Speaker 2>behind the Dodgers. I don't think the Dodgers is going

506
00:25:10.359 --> 00:25:14.480
<v Speaker 2>to let that overshadow the appearance of show Heyo Tani

507
00:25:14.880 --> 00:25:18.480
<v Speaker 2>overshadowed the importance of playing good baseball because the Pandres

508
00:25:18.519 --> 00:25:20.920
<v Speaker 2>are looking for an opening in order to close the

509
00:25:21.000 --> 00:25:24.160
<v Speaker 2>gap in the Nation League Western Division. So, yeah, there's

510
00:25:24.160 --> 00:25:27.039
<v Speaker 2>a lot going on tonight, a lot of different moving pieces,

511
00:25:27.400 --> 00:25:30.440
<v Speaker 2>and everybody's going to be watching what O'tani does on

512
00:25:30.480 --> 00:25:32.880
<v Speaker 2>the mound. You know, we're all here's one thing to

513
00:25:32.920 --> 00:25:35.599
<v Speaker 2>look for as well. We are all creatures of habit

514
00:25:36.000 --> 00:25:38.160
<v Speaker 2>And Dave Roberts was telling you and the rest of

515
00:25:38.200 --> 00:25:41.839
<v Speaker 2>the media that he did have conversations with Otani about

516
00:25:41.880 --> 00:25:44.839
<v Speaker 2>batting in the leadoff spot. Here's why he's going to

517
00:25:44.880 --> 00:25:47.480
<v Speaker 2>be on the mound the first inning. Then once he

518
00:25:47.559 --> 00:25:50.799
<v Speaker 2>gets the three outs, now he's the first batter. He

519
00:25:50.920 --> 00:25:53.400
<v Speaker 2>is a creature of habit as we all are. And

520
00:25:53.480 --> 00:25:55.480
<v Speaker 2>one of the things that we see him do is

521
00:25:55.519 --> 00:25:58.319
<v Speaker 2>to put on the bandingloads, to put on the elbow pad,

522
00:25:58.599 --> 00:26:01.160
<v Speaker 2>to get everything really kind of set, even before the

523
00:26:01.200 --> 00:26:03.759
<v Speaker 2>final out is made in the in the top of

524
00:26:03.799 --> 00:26:05.519
<v Speaker 2>the first and to get home. So he's going to

525
00:26:05.599 --> 00:26:08.519
<v Speaker 2>have to rush things in order to get the helmet on,

526
00:26:08.680 --> 00:26:10.319
<v Speaker 2>to get the bat. So it's going to be a

527
00:26:10.359 --> 00:26:13.039
<v Speaker 2>little different. He's done it before, but this is going

528
00:26:13.079 --> 00:26:15.240
<v Speaker 2>to be the first time that he has revisited that

529
00:26:15.359 --> 00:26:17.400
<v Speaker 2>particular thing. And then we look at it, it's been

530
00:26:17.480 --> 00:26:20.079
<v Speaker 2>six hundred and sixty three days since Otani has been

531
00:26:20.119 --> 00:26:21.599
<v Speaker 2>on the mound in a major league ballgame.

532
00:26:21.759 --> 00:26:24.559
<v Speaker 11>Rick, that's a great point as far as Otani being

533
00:26:24.559 --> 00:26:27.119
<v Speaker 11>the leadoff here or do you believe that is something

534
00:26:27.200 --> 00:26:30.839
<v Speaker 11>that will continue as the starts get longer.

535
00:26:31.079 --> 00:26:33.559
<v Speaker 2>Here's something that I don't know the answer to, but

536
00:26:33.640 --> 00:26:35.599
<v Speaker 2>I think we can find it out. I know that

537
00:26:35.640 --> 00:26:38.720
<v Speaker 2>you have spoken with Brian Gorman, who's an unfiring supervisor.

538
00:26:40.400 --> 00:26:42.759
<v Speaker 2>Is Otani going to get extra time there is a

539
00:26:42.839 --> 00:26:45.920
<v Speaker 2>pitch clock. Is he going to get extra time to

540
00:26:46.000 --> 00:26:49.079
<v Speaker 2>come in and get ready to hit since he is

541
00:26:49.119 --> 00:26:52.079
<v Speaker 2>the starting pitcher. There's a very There's a lot of

542
00:26:52.200 --> 00:26:56.720
<v Speaker 2>unique situations that really pop up with Otani, including it's

543
00:26:56.720 --> 00:26:59.079
<v Speaker 2>not cold weather, he would not eat a jacket, but

544
00:26:59.200 --> 00:27:01.880
<v Speaker 2>you know, it's only a pitcher that can wear a

545
00:27:01.960 --> 00:27:04.319
<v Speaker 2>jacket if you're a runner that's on base and it

546
00:27:04.359 --> 00:27:06.160
<v Speaker 2>has to be zipped up or buttoned up. So there's

547
00:27:06.160 --> 00:27:08.480
<v Speaker 2>a lot of little nuances here and there. I'm not

548
00:27:08.519 --> 00:27:10.319
<v Speaker 2>certain if the pitch clock is going to be altered

549
00:27:10.400 --> 00:27:12.839
<v Speaker 2>or not. Hopefully that does not enter it even into

550
00:27:12.880 --> 00:27:14.119
<v Speaker 2>the conversation during a game.

551
00:27:14.200 --> 00:27:17.720
<v Speaker 11>And that's another great point because Major League Baseball already

552
00:27:17.720 --> 00:27:20.119
<v Speaker 11>has tweaked the rules. They call it the Otani rule,

553
00:27:20.200 --> 00:27:22.200
<v Speaker 11>because when he comes out of the game as a pitcher,

554
00:27:22.599 --> 00:27:23.680
<v Speaker 11>he can still be the.

555
00:27:23.680 --> 00:27:26.039
<v Speaker 2>DH and on the flip side, what if he's the

556
00:27:26.119 --> 00:27:29.119
<v Speaker 2>runner and the third out is recorded, does he get

557
00:27:29.160 --> 00:27:31.720
<v Speaker 2>more time to go back to the dugout, get his glove,

558
00:27:31.799 --> 00:27:33.759
<v Speaker 2>and then get back on the mound and get his

559
00:27:33.799 --> 00:27:36.400
<v Speaker 2>eight warm up pitches that he's entitled. So there's a

560
00:27:36.400 --> 00:27:39.039
<v Speaker 2>lot of this going on, including with the umpires.

561
00:27:39.319 --> 00:27:39.519
<v Speaker 4>Rick.

562
00:27:39.559 --> 00:27:42.359
<v Speaker 11>As far as O'tani goes, I fully expect him to

563
00:27:42.519 --> 00:27:46.799
<v Speaker 11>dazzle tonight because that's just what he does. But sometimes

564
00:27:46.799 --> 00:27:49.279
<v Speaker 11>guy's coming off this long of a period on the

565
00:27:49.319 --> 00:27:51.640
<v Speaker 11>shelf don't have the command. What if it gets a

566
00:27:51.680 --> 00:27:53.119
<v Speaker 11>little bit of a long first inning.

567
00:27:53.319 --> 00:27:58.559
<v Speaker 2>I'm I'm mesmerized by the fact that he can do both.

568
00:27:59.599 --> 00:28:02.119
<v Speaker 2>This is a big deal. I can only go for

569
00:28:02.200 --> 00:28:05.359
<v Speaker 2>myself coming off an injured list years and years ago

570
00:28:05.559 --> 00:28:08.240
<v Speaker 2>and coming back in that first game. But I never

571
00:28:08.240 --> 00:28:11.079
<v Speaker 2>went six hundred and sixty three days. With doing that,

572
00:28:11.519 --> 00:28:14.839
<v Speaker 2>it's difficult and to fight the emotion and then have

573
00:28:15.559 --> 00:28:18.720
<v Speaker 2>presence of mind to focus in which he's been remarkable

574
00:28:18.759 --> 00:28:21.079
<v Speaker 2>in being able to do that. This is a very

575
00:28:21.200 --> 00:28:25.359
<v Speaker 2>unique player that we're seeing and this is a part

576
00:28:25.359 --> 00:28:27.799
<v Speaker 2>of his Dodger history that we're seeing unfold here tonight.

577
00:28:27.920 --> 00:28:30.119
<v Speaker 11>No doubt, it's not just a game, as your partner

578
00:28:30.240 --> 00:28:33.039
<v Speaker 11>used to say, it's an event. Charlie Steiner in the

579
00:28:33.079 --> 00:28:34.160
<v Speaker 11>house for the event.

580
00:28:34.000 --> 00:28:35.359
<v Speaker 2>And with Otani it's a big event.

581
00:28:35.480 --> 00:28:36.039
<v Speaker 4>Yes it is.

582
00:28:36.319 --> 00:28:39.279
<v Speaker 11>Rick Monday's here, whether or not Otawni's pitching, but tonight

583
00:28:39.319 --> 00:28:40.079
<v Speaker 11>should be exciting.

584
00:28:40.200 --> 00:28:41.440
<v Speaker 2>By the way, you look good in the time.

585
00:28:41.519 --> 00:28:44.200
<v Speaker 11>Thanks a lot, Rick, appreciate it. There's that Father's Day

586

00:29:44.319 --> 00:29:47.160
<v Speaker 7>He's the Dodgers and Padres show. Hey Otani makes his

609
00:29:47.240 --> 00:29:49.640
<v Speaker 7>Dodgers debut. Is the pitcher Dodgers Baseball. Brought to by

611
00:29:52.960 --> 00:29:55.880
<v Speaker 7>it near the deli counter. And Ralph Zen, she handcrafted sushi,

612
00:29:55.960 --> 00:29:57.599
<v Speaker 7>always fast, fresh and easy.

613
00:29:58.680 --> 00:30:02.519
<v Speaker 6>And now what will Levi Vasse fielding insults from a

614
00:30:02.599 --> 00:30:03.359
<v Speaker 6>Dodger player.

615
00:30:03.400 --> 00:30:04.680
<v Speaker 1>It's an engagement of endearment.

616
00:30:04.759 --> 00:30:06.599
<v Speaker 3>This is high and tight.

617
00:30:07.599 --> 00:30:10.039
<v Speaker 11>It's an exciting night here at Dodgers Stadium, and we're

618
00:30:10.079 --> 00:30:14.119
<v Speaker 11>joined right now by the President of Baseball Operations Andrew Friedman.

619
00:30:14.559 --> 00:30:17.519
<v Speaker 11>I know Clayton Kershaw said yesterday it feels like the

620
00:30:17.519 --> 00:30:20.160
<v Speaker 11>players are fans wanting to see Otani pitch.

621
00:30:20.720 --> 00:30:22.599
<v Speaker 4>What's the feeling for you tonight.

622
00:30:22.920 --> 00:30:26.720
<v Speaker 14>Yeah, I feel the exact same way obviously, what he's

623
00:30:26.720 --> 00:30:28.559
<v Speaker 14>done in the batter's box. For us, this is a

624
00:30:28.559 --> 00:30:31.799
<v Speaker 14>guy who went fifty to fifty last year, leading the

625
00:30:31.839 --> 00:30:34.920
<v Speaker 14>league in homers, and then you watch him pitch and

626
00:30:34.960 --> 00:30:37.440
<v Speaker 14>it's hard for your brain to reconcile that the guy

627
00:30:37.440 --> 00:30:40.720
<v Speaker 14>who is throwing with that kind of delivery, arm action,

628
00:30:41.119 --> 00:30:43.880
<v Speaker 14>the deep mix is also the guy on the other

629
00:30:43.920 --> 00:30:46.400
<v Speaker 14>half of the inning that does what he does offensively.

630
00:30:46.880 --> 00:30:50.599
<v Speaker 11>Can you take us through the decisions, the conversations about

631
00:30:51.400 --> 00:30:54.480
<v Speaker 11>why tonight is the night that he makes his Dodger

632
00:30:54.599 --> 00:30:55.400
<v Speaker 11>pitching debut.

633
00:30:56.359 --> 00:31:01.960
<v Speaker 14>Yeah, I mean, obviously, you know lot has been written

634
00:31:01.960 --> 00:31:04.519
<v Speaker 14>in discussed about how we kind of got to this point.

635
00:31:05.799 --> 00:31:10.240
<v Speaker 14>But going through this progression, there's been really good communication

636
00:31:10.359 --> 00:31:15.079
<v Speaker 14>and talking through it. And after his live in San Diego,

637
00:31:15.119 --> 00:31:18.319
<v Speaker 14>we had another live setup for today and talking to

638
00:31:18.400 --> 00:31:22.680
<v Speaker 14>him over the weekend and just understanding more the fatiguing effect.

639
00:31:22.799 --> 00:31:26.920
<v Speaker 14>It had to get up, get hot, throw three innings,

640
00:31:26.960 --> 00:31:31.599
<v Speaker 14>four innings would have been tonight, go cool down and

641
00:31:31.640 --> 00:31:34.559
<v Speaker 14>try to ramp back up. Just how taxing that is,

642
00:31:34.599 --> 00:31:37.559
<v Speaker 14>and so in his opinion, he felt like he would

643
00:31:37.559 --> 00:31:41.079
<v Speaker 14>be way better served to kind of finish his rehab

644
00:31:41.119 --> 00:31:45.519
<v Speaker 14>process at the major league level being active and not

645
00:31:45.640 --> 00:31:47.359
<v Speaker 14>having basically doubleheaders.

646
00:31:48.039 --> 00:31:51.519
<v Speaker 11>So what are the expectations for you tonight and what

647
00:31:51.640 --> 00:31:52.920
<v Speaker 11>will you be looking for?

648
00:31:53.880 --> 00:31:57.319
<v Speaker 14>I mean, I think, you know, coming back from a

649
00:31:57.319 --> 00:32:01.039
<v Speaker 14>lot of miss time on the mound, you know, I

650
00:32:01.039 --> 00:32:03.519
<v Speaker 14>have no doubt this stuff will be there. Execution is

651
00:32:03.559 --> 00:32:08.559
<v Speaker 14>something that takes guys a little time to get comfortable,

652
00:32:08.680 --> 00:32:12.559
<v Speaker 14>repeat their delivery over and over with him. Who knows

653
00:32:12.599 --> 00:32:13.920
<v Speaker 14>they could have it, you know.

654
00:32:14.440 --> 00:32:15.440
<v Speaker 4>From the first pitch on.

655
00:32:15.680 --> 00:32:19.440
<v Speaker 14>But it's just about us being patient, continuing to build

656
00:32:19.480 --> 00:32:26.119
<v Speaker 14>up a foundation for him. Obviously, whatever you know, we're

657
00:32:26.160 --> 00:32:29.440
<v Speaker 14>able to get to this year in terms of workload,

658
00:32:29.960 --> 00:32:34.079
<v Speaker 14>hopefully he'll be a presence for us in October. But

659
00:32:34.119 --> 00:32:36.759
<v Speaker 14>it's also about the longevity. He wants to do this

660
00:32:36.920 --> 00:32:40.279
<v Speaker 14>for as long as he possibly can to. Setting a

661
00:32:40.279 --> 00:32:42.359
<v Speaker 14>really strong foundation this year is important.

662
00:32:42.720 --> 00:32:46.079
<v Speaker 11>There's been former players Hall of Fame caliber players that

663
00:32:46.160 --> 00:32:50.680
<v Speaker 11>have voiced their opinion unsolicited that they believe this is

664
00:32:51.240 --> 00:32:53.200
<v Speaker 11>a little bit of a risk to have him come

665
00:32:53.240 --> 00:32:55.799
<v Speaker 11>back to pitch and he's doing so well as a hitter.

666
00:32:56.440 --> 00:32:59.359
<v Speaker 11>What do you think about you know, these unsolicited opinions,

667
00:32:59.400 --> 00:33:02.160
<v Speaker 11>and is that part of the equation in your mind

668
00:33:02.240 --> 00:33:04.559
<v Speaker 11>leading up to this decision to allow show Hay to

669
00:33:04.559 --> 00:33:05.640
<v Speaker 11>become a pitcher again.

670
00:33:06.160 --> 00:33:08.359
<v Speaker 14>Yeah, I mean I think part of it is it's

671
00:33:08.359 --> 00:33:10.480
<v Speaker 14>hard for the human brain to comprehend this.

672
00:33:10.759 --> 00:33:12.640
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I mean, he's one.

673
00:33:12.440 --> 00:33:15.720
<v Speaker 14>Of one in the modern era, and so a lot

674
00:33:15.720 --> 00:33:19.279
<v Speaker 14>of guys weren't able or capable of doing it. It's

675
00:33:19.279 --> 00:33:24.640
<v Speaker 14>hard to imagine. This is really important to him. And

676
00:33:24.920 --> 00:33:28.200
<v Speaker 14>I don't blame him. We've talked about this a lot.

677
00:33:28.440 --> 00:33:33.079
<v Speaker 14>I think he is incredibly underrated, which is amazing. I mean,

678
00:33:33.160 --> 00:33:35.559
<v Speaker 14>just what he can do on both sides of the ball.

679
00:33:37.799 --> 00:33:41.599
<v Speaker 14>You know, when he didn't win the MVP in twenty two,

680
00:33:41.920 --> 00:33:44.680
<v Speaker 14>he finished fourth in the sy Young He is a

681
00:33:44.759 --> 00:33:48.720
<v Speaker 14>really talented pitcher. Obviously a really talented hitter, but in

682
00:33:48.759 --> 00:33:52.079
<v Speaker 14>twenty three when he was pitching, he was also really

683
00:33:52.079 --> 00:33:54.960
<v Speaker 14>good in the batter's box, excellent in the batter's box,

684
00:33:55.440 --> 00:33:58.559
<v Speaker 14>And so I just think it's too simple, people apply

685
00:33:58.759 --> 00:34:01.240
<v Speaker 14>too much of Well, if I had to do both,

686
00:34:01.279 --> 00:34:04.920
<v Speaker 14>i'd be exhausted or one would really suffer. I agree

687
00:34:04.920 --> 00:34:07.759
<v Speaker 14>for most people, Yeah, show it is not most people.

688
00:34:07.680 --> 00:34:08.440
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, no doubt.

689
00:34:08.480 --> 00:34:11.119
<v Speaker 11>It seems like when the lights are the brightest and

690
00:34:11.199 --> 00:34:15.199
<v Speaker 11>the expectations are the highest, he delivers. So I wouldn't

691
00:34:15.239 --> 00:34:17.880
<v Speaker 11>be surprised tonight if he strikes out the side in order.

692
00:34:18.480 --> 00:34:22.079
<v Speaker 14>Yeah, And I think for us just being thoughtful about this,

693
00:34:22.199 --> 00:34:25.440
<v Speaker 14>and obviously we're all really excited about tonight, We'll get

694
00:34:25.519 --> 00:34:28.519
<v Speaker 14>through tonight, figure out how he's recovering, where he's at,

695
00:34:28.960 --> 00:34:32.320
<v Speaker 14>and just kind of keep taking steps towards it. We're

696
00:34:32.360 --> 00:34:36.440
<v Speaker 14>not going to sprint to get there, and just make

697
00:34:36.480 --> 00:34:39.920
<v Speaker 14>sure that his body is adapting and that the fatigue

698
00:34:40.039 --> 00:34:43.679
<v Speaker 14>isn't affecting him offensively. And so you know, it's kind

699
00:34:43.679 --> 00:34:47.559
<v Speaker 14>of serving two different purposes. One is to make sure

700
00:34:47.639 --> 00:34:50.400
<v Speaker 14>that he has a good foundation to pitch for a

701
00:34:50.440 --> 00:34:52.920
<v Speaker 14>long time. The other is to make sure that his

702
00:34:53.000 --> 00:34:56.920
<v Speaker 14>body is adapting, feeling good, recovering well so that he

703
00:34:56.920 --> 00:34:59.519
<v Speaker 14>can stay a productive force in the lineup as well.

704
00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:01.639
<v Speaker 4>Around him with a great roster.

705
00:35:02.519 --> 00:35:05.159
<v Speaker 11>How much do we have to appreciate the fact that

706
00:35:05.440 --> 00:35:08.880
<v Speaker 11>you're able to do this. Otani's able to do this,

707
00:35:09.000 --> 00:35:11.880
<v Speaker 11>to come in for one or two innings and build

708
00:35:11.960 --> 00:35:14.280
<v Speaker 11>up in a game and have a guy like a

709
00:35:14.320 --> 00:35:17.199
<v Speaker 11>bank Casparius or a jag Dryer to back him up.

710
00:35:17.559 --> 00:35:20.800
<v Speaker 11>Would that be possible if you didn't have guys that

711
00:35:20.880 --> 00:35:22.119
<v Speaker 11>were able.

712
00:35:21.960 --> 00:35:22.800
<v Speaker 4>And be willing.

713
00:35:23.440 --> 00:35:26.559
<v Speaker 14>Yeah, I mean, I think you nailed it. It's both.

714
00:35:26.719 --> 00:35:30.679
<v Speaker 14>It's being able and willing. And we're very fortunate with

715
00:35:30.880 --> 00:35:34.920
<v Speaker 14>a number of our homegrown guys who've gotten some opportunities.

716
00:35:35.480 --> 00:35:39.480
<v Speaker 14>It's one of the silver linings and upsides of some

717
00:35:39.559 --> 00:35:43.800
<v Speaker 14>of the injuries we suffered is guys being given opportunity

718
00:35:43.880 --> 00:35:46.159
<v Speaker 14>and a number of them have really run with it.

719
00:35:47.199 --> 00:35:52.159
<v Speaker 14>And watching Ben's development has been really fun. And his

720
00:35:52.280 --> 00:35:55.599
<v Speaker 14>mindset is I'll do whatever it takes to help us win.

721
00:35:55.679 --> 00:35:58.599
<v Speaker 14>I'm good with whatever, and so we actively are communicating

722
00:35:58.599 --> 00:36:00.920
<v Speaker 14>with him, just trying to make sure that he's in

723
00:36:01.000 --> 00:36:06.800
<v Speaker 14>good position. But his ability and willingness are off the charts.

724
00:36:06.880 --> 00:36:09.639
<v Speaker 11>All right, Before I let you go, your kids are

725
00:36:09.719 --> 00:36:14.280
<v Speaker 11>involved in you sports. So once this was announced yesterday

726
00:36:14.320 --> 00:36:17.440
<v Speaker 11>that Otani was going to pitch tonight, how many ticket

727
00:36:17.480 --> 00:36:18.360
<v Speaker 11>requests did you get?

728
00:36:18.360 --> 00:36:20.280
<v Speaker 4>Andrew, I got quite a few.

729
00:36:21.079 --> 00:36:22.920
<v Speaker 14>We were joking that we were going to set the

730
00:36:23.000 --> 00:36:24.400
<v Speaker 14>Internet on fire when.

731
00:36:24.280 --> 00:36:25.679
<v Speaker 4>This news came out.

732
00:36:26.039 --> 00:36:30.400
<v Speaker 14>I stopped short of saying that my text messages were

733
00:36:30.440 --> 00:36:32.880
<v Speaker 14>also going to catch on fire, but they did as well.

734
00:36:33.519 --> 00:36:35.599
<v Speaker 11>Do you want to make a public announcement to stop

735
00:36:35.960 --> 00:36:37.079
<v Speaker 11>texting you for tickets?

736
00:36:37.079 --> 00:36:39.320
<v Speaker 14>You're tapped out, tapped out no more.

737
00:36:40.400 --> 00:36:42.000
<v Speaker 4>All right, thanks a lot for stopping by.

802
00:39:49.599 --> 00:39:51.280
<v Speaker 7>we head over to Steven Nelson Rick Monday.

803
00:39:51.280 --> 00:39:53.639
<v Speaker 5>Guys, thank you for the handoff. Tim back here in

804
00:39:53.679 --> 00:39:57.039
<v Speaker 5>the first row with Rick Monday. Mo, it is Shoheo

805
00:39:57.159 --> 00:40:00.039
<v Speaker 5>Tani starting opening. I'm not going to get into the

806
00:40:00.079 --> 00:40:02.880
<v Speaker 5>semantics of that against Dylan Cees for the San Diego

807
00:40:02.920 --> 00:40:05.159
<v Speaker 5>Padres he shoved against the Dodgers when we saw him

808
00:40:05.159 --> 00:40:05.880
<v Speaker 5>at Petco Park.

809
00:40:06.079 --> 00:40:07.920
<v Speaker 2>What are a few things on your mind for this game? Well,

810
00:40:08.039 --> 00:40:10.159
<v Speaker 2>the biggest thing is don't expand the strength zone. In

811
00:40:10.239 --> 00:40:14.199
<v Speaker 2>that victory that Sees had down in San Diego went seven,

812
00:40:14.280 --> 00:40:17.199
<v Speaker 2>Ennis did not allow a run, only three hints and

813
00:40:17.280 --> 00:40:20.880
<v Speaker 2>while he did walk five, he had eleven punch outs.

814
00:40:21.199 --> 00:40:24.559
<v Speaker 2>And the Dodgers just never did figure out a system

815
00:40:24.599 --> 00:40:27.199
<v Speaker 2>as far as any cadence with Cease and they've got

816
00:40:27.239 --> 00:40:28.880
<v Speaker 2>to tighten the belt. The other thing that Sees does

817
00:40:29.039 --> 00:40:31.960
<v Speaker 2>very very well, very low banning average against him. He's

818
00:40:32.000 --> 00:40:34.119
<v Speaker 2>only given up eight home runs and tonight making his

819
00:40:34.199 --> 00:40:35.559
<v Speaker 2>fifteen start well.

820
00:40:35.559 --> 00:40:38.400
<v Speaker 5>The Dodgers one of the best slider hitting teams in baseball,

821
00:40:38.480 --> 00:40:41.400
<v Speaker 5>but still that did not prevent Cease from holding them

822
00:40:41.480 --> 00:40:44.760
<v Speaker 5>to one for fourteen against that pitch the last.

823
00:40:44.480 --> 00:40:45.199
<v Speaker 3>Time we saw him.

824
00:40:45.280 --> 00:40:47.679
<v Speaker 5>One big key is that the Padres will not have

825
00:40:47.840 --> 00:40:50.440
<v Speaker 5>Jackson Merrill in this series, or at least to start. He

826
00:40:50.480 --> 00:40:52.159
<v Speaker 5>was placed on the seven day concussion.

827
00:40:52.280 --> 00:40:55.679
<v Speaker 2>I l yeah, and that just took place on a Saturday,

828
00:40:55.760 --> 00:40:57.800
<v Speaker 2>and that was on a slide into second base, So

829
00:40:57.800 --> 00:40:59.800
<v Speaker 2>they're going to miss him. But they also called up

830
00:41:00.400 --> 00:41:04.079
<v Speaker 2>a youngsters really been lights down Trenton Brooks, who's going

831
00:41:04.119 --> 00:41:07.039
<v Speaker 2>to that lineup. Triple A, hit three eleven, also has

832
00:41:07.039 --> 00:41:09.119
<v Speaker 2>some power, hit fourteen out of the ballpark.

833
00:41:09.320 --> 00:41:12.199
<v Speaker 5>And at the same time they've gotten the real Fernando

834
00:41:12.239 --> 00:41:15.199
<v Speaker 5>Tatispak it would seem as he has gotten going over

835
00:41:15.239 --> 00:41:17.679
<v Speaker 5>the last few games. The Dodgers and Padres, it is

836
00:41:17.800 --> 00:41:21.599
<v Speaker 5>always a battle. And now with a little bit extra show,

837
00:41:21.599 --> 00:41:25.199
<v Speaker 5>Hey Otani in his pitching debut as a Dodger of

838
00:41:25.199 --> 00:41:29.280
<v Speaker 5>the reigning MVP. Take it on the Padres. All right,

839
00:41:29.360 --> 00:41:30.000
<v Speaker 5>first pitches.

840
00:41:30.039 --> 00:41:33.800
<v Speaker 7>Next Dodgers and Padres show Hey Otani on the mound

841
00:41:34.039 --> 00:41:35.000
<v Speaker 7>when we return.

842
00:41:35.280 --> 00:41:35.800
