9
00:00:33.399 --> 00:00:36.119
<v Speaker 2>bounce back tonight. You know what is a great pitching

10
00:00:36.240 --> 00:00:39.600
<v Speaker 2>matchup with Jack Flaherty going for the Dodgers, Chris Saale

11
00:00:40.039 --> 00:00:42.079

15
00:00:49.840 --> 00:00:52.399
<v Speaker 2>gonna hear from Dodger manager Dave Roberts. Got a lot

16
00:00:52.439 --> 00:00:55.240
<v Speaker 2>to get to from him, the latest on Tyler Glass now,

17
00:00:55.359 --> 00:00:57.039
<v Speaker 2>who is being shut down for the rest of the

18
00:00:57.079 --> 00:00:59.960
<v Speaker 2>regular season. More on that throughout the pregame. Will dive

19
00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:03.000
<v Speaker 2>deeper into this pitch sheeet matchup. David Vassa goes one

20
00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:05.439
<v Speaker 2>on one with Kevin Kiirermeier. Shortly we'll check in with

21
00:01:05.560 --> 00:01:08.319
<v Speaker 2>Kirsten Watson, who is down on the field. We got

22
00:01:08.319 --> 00:01:10.879
<v Speaker 2>your chance to win sweet tickets to an upcoming Dodger

23
00:01:10.920 --> 00:01:14.680
<v Speaker 2>game in the Dodger Sinsheet Sweet Life Challenge that's coming

24
00:01:14.760 --> 00:01:16.959
<v Speaker 2>up in about thirty minutes. And in just a few

25
00:01:17.000 --> 00:01:19.319
<v Speaker 2>minutes we'll head out to the Galpin Motors broadcast booth

26
00:01:19.560 --> 00:01:22.760
<v Speaker 2>with Rick Monday and Tim nehert Well. Yesterday in Atlanta,

27
00:01:22.840 --> 00:01:25.200
<v Speaker 2>it was a rough one for the young lunk Landon Knack,

28
00:01:25.519 --> 00:01:28.519
<v Speaker 2>the Dodger right hander, got into trouble early in the first,

29
00:01:28.959 --> 00:01:31.719
<v Speaker 2>back to back singles, then Matt Olsen in RBI double

30
00:01:32.079 --> 00:01:35.040
<v Speaker 2>Braves with a one nothing lead in the second.

31
00:01:34.760 --> 00:01:35.879
<v Speaker 3>More problems for Nack.

32
00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:38.879
<v Speaker 2>A lead off walk, Gie or Schello two run home run,

33
00:01:38.959 --> 00:01:42.000
<v Speaker 2>Braves up three to nothing. Very next batter infield single.

34
00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:46.079
<v Speaker 2>Two batters later, another mistake from Nakis, jorgees Hilaire took

35
00:01:46.120 --> 00:01:48.959
<v Speaker 2>him deep to left for a two run home run.

36
00:01:49.159 --> 00:01:51.280
<v Speaker 2>The second in the inning for the Braves is they

37
00:01:51.280 --> 00:01:54.920
<v Speaker 2>were up five to nothing. Land and Knack would last

38
00:01:54.959 --> 00:01:57.640
<v Speaker 2>just the two innings, five run, seven hits. The six

39
00:01:57.719 --> 00:02:00.439
<v Speaker 2>outs that he got two of them deep fly balls

40
00:02:00.439 --> 00:02:02.359
<v Speaker 2>to the wall in center field. He got out of

41
00:02:02.359 --> 00:02:05.920
<v Speaker 2>there down five to nothing. The Dodgers' offense meanwhile struggled

42
00:02:06.200 --> 00:02:10.439
<v Speaker 2>against Braves young right hander Spencer Schwellenbach. Finally, in the third,

43
00:02:10.840 --> 00:02:13.800
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers got on the board. Miguel Rojas with the

44
00:02:13.879 --> 00:02:15.599
<v Speaker 2>breath of fresh air moment of the game.

45
00:02:16.120 --> 00:02:20.120
<v Speaker 4>It comes the pitch on the way from Spencer schwelling back.

46
00:02:20.240 --> 00:02:22.879
<v Speaker 4>This one's hit well the left field heading back.

47
00:02:22.719 --> 00:02:23.280
<v Speaker 5>To the wall.

48
00:02:23.439 --> 00:02:29.000
<v Speaker 4>It is gone home run Miguel Rojas for Miguel home

49
00:02:29.080 --> 00:02:32.680
<v Speaker 4>run number five on the season, and the Dodgers.

50
00:02:32.199 --> 00:02:34.400
<v Speaker 6>Get on the board. It is five to one.

51
00:02:34.800 --> 00:02:37.599
<v Speaker 2>Solo home run for Rojas is fifth of this season.

52
00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:39.520
<v Speaker 2>That's the breath of fresh Air moment of the game,

<v Speaker 3>Omar Brittany the Founders. They're great people.

60
00:03:00.639 --> 00:03:03.560
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers down five to one, they get a little closer

61
00:03:03.560 --> 00:03:05.280
<v Speaker 2>in the fourth thanks to Tommy.

62
00:03:05.039 --> 00:03:07.800
<v Speaker 6>Edmund scratch on the one to two pitch.

63
00:03:09.520 --> 00:03:11.560
<v Speaker 4>Edmund swings lines are in the right field of base

64
00:03:11.639 --> 00:03:14.400
<v Speaker 4>at te Oscar's gonna get waved around, so layer up

65
00:03:14.439 --> 00:03:16.800
<v Speaker 4>and throwing. It'll be cut off by Olson and the

66
00:03:16.879 --> 00:03:19.560
<v Speaker 4>Dodgers pick up another run here with two down on

67
00:03:19.639 --> 00:03:23.000
<v Speaker 4>a single by Tommy Edmund, scoring to Oscar Hernandez, it

68
00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:23.919
<v Speaker 4>is five to two.

69
00:03:24.360 --> 00:03:28.080
<v Speaker 2>RBI's single Dodgers cut the deficit to three. However, they'd

70
00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:30.719
<v Speaker 2>get no closer. In fact, Michael Harris the second and

71
00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:33.479
<v Speaker 2>RBI double in the eighth. Braves go on and beat

72
00:03:33.520 --> 00:03:35.800
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers yesterday in the series opener six to two.

73
00:03:35.800 --> 00:03:39.319
<v Speaker 2>Spencer Schwellenbach out pitches Land and Nag. That didn't help

74
00:03:39.360 --> 00:03:42.360
<v Speaker 2>that Otani, Betts, Freeman, and Muncie were combined zero for

75
00:03:42.520 --> 00:03:45.840
<v Speaker 2>fifteen with five strikeouts of the plate. With the lost

76
00:03:45.879 --> 00:03:48.039
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers fall to eighty seven and sixty, they hook the

77
00:03:48.080 --> 00:03:50.240
<v Speaker 2>bounce back to night Jack Flerty on the mound first

78
00:03:50.280 --> 00:03:52.560
<v Speaker 2>pitch of Atlanta's coming up at four twenty and with

79
00:03:52.599 --> 00:03:54.840
<v Speaker 2>more we head out to the Gallpit Motors Broadcast booth

80
00:03:54.879 --> 00:03:58.120
<v Speaker 2>and say good afternoon to Rick Monday and Tim Neffert.

81
00:03:58.199 --> 00:04:00.759
<v Speaker 4>Guys, Hi, Tim, thank you very much as we get

82
00:04:00.840 --> 00:04:04.520
<v Speaker 4>set for baseball tonight here in Atlanta, still overcast skies.

83
00:04:04.840 --> 00:04:07.360
<v Speaker 4>Some weather might be hanging around the area, and we

84
00:04:07.400 --> 00:04:10.479
<v Speaker 4>are hopeful that mother Nature will not interfere with this

85
00:04:10.560 --> 00:04:14.039
<v Speaker 4>one tonight. The Dodgers start tonight eighty seven and sixty,

86
00:04:14.080 --> 00:04:17.040
<v Speaker 4>four and a half games up on San Diego, five

87
00:04:17.120 --> 00:04:20.879
<v Speaker 4>games up on Arizona. The Braves meantime third place in

88
00:04:20.920 --> 00:04:24.360
<v Speaker 4>the National League East eighty and sixty seven. They're a

89
00:04:24.399 --> 00:04:27.199
<v Speaker 4>game back in the wild card race to the Mets.

90
00:04:27.600 --> 00:04:30.879
<v Speaker 4>Good pitching matchup tonight. Jack Flairty goes for the Dodgers.

91
00:04:30.920 --> 00:04:33.680
<v Speaker 4>He's twelve and six with a two eighty six ERA,

92
00:04:33.959 --> 00:04:36.720
<v Speaker 4>five and one since joining the Dodgers. This will be

93
00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:40.360
<v Speaker 4>his eighth start for Los Angeles, his twenty sixth start

94
00:04:40.439 --> 00:04:43.920
<v Speaker 4>overall this year. In the meantime, Chris Sayle, who is

95
00:04:44.040 --> 00:04:46.480
<v Speaker 4>vying for the Cy Young Award and the Triple Crown,

96
00:04:46.959 --> 00:04:49.720
<v Speaker 4>is sixteen and three to thirty eight his ERA. He

97
00:04:49.800 --> 00:04:52.600
<v Speaker 4>leads the National League in both wins in ERA and

98
00:04:52.759 --> 00:04:56.240
<v Speaker 4>his second in strikeouts with two hundred and thirteen chasing

99
00:04:56.279 --> 00:05:00.879
<v Speaker 4>only Dylan Siso the Padres who has two hundred fifty drikeouts.

100
00:05:01.000 --> 00:05:03.879
<v Speaker 4>Speaking of pitching, that's the big news today where Dave

101
00:05:03.959 --> 00:05:06.920
<v Speaker 4>Roberts a little while ago announced to the media that

102
00:05:07.040 --> 00:05:10.439
<v Speaker 4>there is a chance, a good chance, that Tyler Glasnow's

103
00:05:10.560 --> 00:05:12.639
<v Speaker 4>season is perhaps at an end.

104
00:05:12.759 --> 00:05:16.240
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, it was scheduled to have a sim game yesterday

105
00:05:16.279 --> 00:05:18.759
<v Speaker 5>here in Atlanta. He was warming up in the bullpens

106
00:05:18.800 --> 00:05:22.600
<v Speaker 5>and he still felt discomfort in the elbow, So it

107
00:05:22.639 --> 00:05:24.279
<v Speaker 5>looks as if he is going to be shut down

108
00:05:24.680 --> 00:05:28.160
<v Speaker 5>and tim the situation continues with big question marks and

109
00:05:28.199 --> 00:05:31.800
<v Speaker 5>the Dodgers starting pitching. If glass Now is there, kershump,

110
00:05:31.920 --> 00:05:34.319
<v Speaker 5>that's the kind of day to day updates we're getting.

111
00:05:34.639 --> 00:05:38.160
<v Speaker 5>What about Walker Buehller, What about Bobby Miller? Both ber

112
00:05:38.519 --> 00:05:41.079
<v Speaker 5>Miller and Bueller are back and throwing, but they're not

113
00:05:41.160 --> 00:05:43.560
<v Speaker 5>really up to snuff. Is they would like to have

114
00:05:43.639 --> 00:05:46.439
<v Speaker 5>it to this particular point And in the meantime, this

115
00:05:46.560 --> 00:05:49.000
<v Speaker 5>Dodger offense needs to get it going and get back

116
00:05:49.000 --> 00:05:52.759
<v Speaker 5>on track. Two runs, only five hits in last night's ballgame,

117
00:05:52.839 --> 00:05:54.639
<v Speaker 5>and you figure base hits are going to be at

118
00:05:54.680 --> 00:05:56.920
<v Speaker 5>a premium for both teams tonight with a.

119
00:05:56.920 --> 00:05:59.839
<v Speaker 4>Pitching absolutely Freddy Freeman has had great success in the

120
00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:03.800
<v Speaker 4>ballpark in terms of home runs and on base percentage

121
00:06:03.839 --> 00:06:06.399
<v Speaker 4>and and OPS as well. He owns a nine thirty

122
00:06:06.439 --> 00:06:10.160
<v Speaker 4>seven OPS at Truest Park. Has been flipped in the

123
00:06:10.279 --> 00:06:12.800
<v Speaker 4>order from the third spot into the fourth spot. So

124
00:06:12.879 --> 00:06:15.160
<v Speaker 4>the Dodgers are going to have Freeman, a left handed batter,

125
00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:17.399
<v Speaker 4>bat clean up against the left hander.

126
00:06:17.480 --> 00:06:19.319
<v Speaker 5>Chris said, yeah, I saw that it came out a

127
00:06:19.360 --> 00:06:22.240
<v Speaker 5>little bit earlier, and in my mind, what Dave Roberts

128
00:06:22.279 --> 00:06:24.879
<v Speaker 5>is attempting to do sail a left handed pitcher and

129
00:06:24.920 --> 00:06:27.279
<v Speaker 5>a very good win trying to break up Otani, and

130
00:06:27.319 --> 00:06:30.480
<v Speaker 5>then two batters later having Freeman. So you've got Bett's second,

131
00:06:30.879 --> 00:06:34.040
<v Speaker 5>the Oscar Hernandez batting third, Den Freeman. The one guy

132
00:06:34.040 --> 00:06:36.240
<v Speaker 5>that has moved back up was Will Smith, who was

133
00:06:36.279 --> 00:06:38.360
<v Speaker 5>dropped down to the sebath spot last night, but he

134
00:06:38.399 --> 00:06:40.319
<v Speaker 5>had a couple of base hits, two hits and three

135
00:06:40.360 --> 00:06:43.480
<v Speaker 5>at bats. Hopefully that's a sign some very good things

136
00:06:43.480 --> 00:06:46.720
<v Speaker 5>to go, because the Dodgers really need Will Smith's batt

137
00:06:46.759 --> 00:06:47.360
<v Speaker 5>to come alive.

138
00:06:47.879 --> 00:06:53.560
<v Speaker 4>So Otani, Betts and Freeman oh four last night Otani's

139
00:06:53.720 --> 00:06:56.040
<v Speaker 4>been oh for the last two games, same with bats

140
00:06:56.040 --> 00:06:59.439
<v Speaker 4>and Freddie Freeman OH for twelve in his last three.

141
00:06:59.639 --> 00:07:01.040
<v Speaker 4>So all three of them are due.

142
00:07:01.199 --> 00:07:03.560
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, they're due. And the Dodgers only had four bats

143
00:07:03.639 --> 00:07:06.199
<v Speaker 5>last night a total of ford bets would runners in

144
00:07:06.240 --> 00:07:09.639
<v Speaker 5>scoring positions, so the offense it has been challenged. They've

145
00:07:09.680 --> 00:07:12.560
<v Speaker 5>lost three of the last four games in the last ten. Well,

146
00:07:12.639 --> 00:07:14.879
<v Speaker 5>they've been a five hundred team. They're a better team

147
00:07:14.920 --> 00:07:17.600
<v Speaker 5>than that. In knocking on the doors San Diego trying

148
00:07:17.600 --> 00:07:19.439
<v Speaker 5>to close the gap. They start four and a half

149
00:07:19.519 --> 00:07:23.560
<v Speaker 5>back Arizona, five games behind the Dodgers leading the Western Division.

150
00:07:23.680 --> 00:07:26.639
<v Speaker 4>Magic number is eleven to clinch the division. In the

151
00:07:26.680 --> 00:07:29.800
<v Speaker 4>scenario is if the Dodgers go seven and eight, one

152
00:07:29.839 --> 00:07:31.759
<v Speaker 4>game under five hundred the rest of the way, they'll

153
00:07:31.759 --> 00:07:34.720
<v Speaker 4>finish ninety four and sixty eight, But the Padres would

154
00:07:34.759 --> 00:07:37.160
<v Speaker 4>have to go eleven and three to tie the Dodgers.

155
00:07:37.199 --> 00:07:39.759
<v Speaker 4>They owned the tiebreaker, so they just need to tie.

156
00:07:39.920 --> 00:07:42.319
<v Speaker 4>The Diamondbacks would have to go thirteen and two to

157
00:07:42.399 --> 00:07:45.800
<v Speaker 4>pass the Dodgers. The Dodgers on the tiebreaker over Arizona,

158
00:07:45.879 --> 00:07:49.639
<v Speaker 4>so the earliest mathematically the Dodgers could clinch the division

159
00:07:49.680 --> 00:07:52.120
<v Speaker 4>would be the last day of this road trip Thursday

160
00:07:52.120 --> 00:07:55.240
<v Speaker 4>in Miami, but it's probably more likely they'll clinch it

161
00:07:55.279 --> 00:07:58.759
<v Speaker 4>at home against either Colorado or the San Diego Padres.

162
00:07:58.800 --> 00:08:02.720
<v Speaker 4>But again, the dictations aren't that high, and they are

163
00:08:02.800 --> 00:08:05.920
<v Speaker 4>for the Padres and Diamondbacks. But the Dodgers, they can

164
00:08:05.959 --> 00:08:08.480
<v Speaker 4>still play a game under five hundred and clench the

165
00:08:08.480 --> 00:08:09.560
<v Speaker 4>division without a problem.

166
00:08:09.600 --> 00:08:11.600
<v Speaker 5>And why not wrap it up at home with their

167
00:08:11.639 --> 00:08:15.199
<v Speaker 5>fans right there and they can enjoy the celebration themselves.

168
00:08:15.360 --> 00:08:17.680
<v Speaker 4>Gotta win here tonight, try to even this series up

169
00:08:17.720 --> 00:08:21.519
<v Speaker 4>with a game apiece. Dodgers Braves Jack Flaherty against Chris Sale.

170
00:08:21.519 --> 00:08:23.240
<v Speaker 6>That's the pitching matchup, tim.

171
00:08:23.040 --> 00:08:24.680

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

202
00:09:58.759 --> 00:10:02.000

203
00:10:02.240 --> 00:10:04.600
<v Speaker 2>and Kirsten whether we knew was going to be an

204
00:10:04.600 --> 00:10:06.919
<v Speaker 2>issue all weekend there in Atlanta.

205
00:10:07.039 --> 00:10:08.840
<v Speaker 3>How are we looking right now as we get closer

206
00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:09.759
<v Speaker 3>to first pitch.

207
00:10:10.399 --> 00:10:13.519
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, the turf is still on the field, but seems

208
00:10:13.519 --> 00:10:15.279
<v Speaker 7>like the weather was kind of passed.

209
00:10:15.360 --> 00:10:18.240
<v Speaker 8>I mean it was raining and drizzling this morning, a

210
00:10:18.240 --> 00:10:20.360
<v Speaker 8>little bit this afternoon, even a little.

211
00:10:20.120 --> 00:10:22.120
<v Speaker 7>Bit while some of the guys are playing pitch.

212
00:10:21.960 --> 00:10:24.720
<v Speaker 8>But it seems like looking at the forecast, we're in

213
00:10:24.759 --> 00:10:25.200
<v Speaker 8>the clear.

214
00:10:25.360 --> 00:10:26.519
<v Speaker 7>The turf is still on.

215
00:10:26.600 --> 00:10:28.399
<v Speaker 9>But I think they're going to remove it pretty soon.

216
00:10:28.879 --> 00:10:31.799
<v Speaker 8>So yeah, it's looking like on time first pitch.

217
00:10:32.919 --> 00:10:34.799
<v Speaker 7>They often talk about the window. I don't even think

218
00:10:34.799 --> 00:10:35.279
<v Speaker 7>it's the window.

219
00:10:35.279 --> 00:10:36.879
<v Speaker 9>I think we're just in the clear for this evening.

220
00:10:37.080 --> 00:10:38.360
<v Speaker 3>That's certainly great news.

221
00:10:38.639 --> 00:10:41.720
<v Speaker 2>Forecast for Tyler Glass now though doesn't look good for

222
00:10:41.720 --> 00:10:42.120
<v Speaker 2>the rest.

223
00:10:42.000 --> 00:10:42.399
<v Speaker 3>Of the year.

224
00:10:43.440 --> 00:10:44.240
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, it doesn't.

225
00:10:44.279 --> 00:10:46.840
<v Speaker 7>So yesterday he was schedule to take part in a

226
00:10:46.919 --> 00:10:49.480
<v Speaker 7>Sam game. Everyone was looking forward to it. He threw

227
00:10:49.519 --> 00:10:51.720
<v Speaker 7>a little in the bullpen and then kind of felt

228
00:10:51.759 --> 00:10:55.399
<v Speaker 7>something so decided that it it just wasn't the right decision.

229
00:10:55.519 --> 00:10:57.039
<v Speaker 9>Ended up going back into the club house.

230
00:10:57.320 --> 00:10:59.720
<v Speaker 8>Dave Robert said that they had some scan done it.

231
00:11:00.799 --> 00:11:06.039
<v Speaker 8>He is feeling now with an elbow sprain. So originally

232
00:11:06.799 --> 00:11:08.759
<v Speaker 8>it seems like it was more elbow than the nighted.

233
00:11:09.000 --> 00:11:12.240
<v Speaker 8>Maybe it hinted out of sprain, but now it's truly

234
00:11:12.279 --> 00:11:16.240
<v Speaker 8>showing that sprain there in his elbow. So it's unfortunate news.

235
00:11:16.279 --> 00:11:17.879
<v Speaker 8>They're of course, it's going to have to shut them down,

236
00:11:18.519 --> 00:11:22.279
<v Speaker 8>considering what the season now looks like, considering that eighties

237
00:11:22.720 --> 00:11:25.039
<v Speaker 8>date in September and October is going to be in

238
00:11:25.080 --> 00:11:29.759
<v Speaker 8>about fifteen days. His return now is it's Dave Roberts

239
00:11:29.759 --> 00:11:32.879
<v Speaker 8>said that it's highly unlikely, so you know that it's

240
00:11:32.879 --> 00:11:33.440
<v Speaker 8>a big glow.

241
00:11:33.679 --> 00:11:35.360
<v Speaker 9>The rotation is a big blow to his team.

242
00:11:35.360 --> 00:11:37.600
<v Speaker 7>Obviously, they signed him in the off season with the

243
00:11:37.639 --> 00:11:40.000
<v Speaker 7>intentions of, you know what he could bring to this

244
00:11:40.039 --> 00:11:42.360
<v Speaker 7>team come October. Now, that's not going to be the

245
00:11:42.440 --> 00:11:44.200
<v Speaker 7>key score this year. Unfortunately.

246
00:11:44.519 --> 00:11:46.320
<v Speaker 2>I was going to ask you what the mood is

247
00:11:46.360 --> 00:11:48.320
<v Speaker 2>around this team with this injury. But you know what,

248
00:11:48.360 --> 00:11:50.600
<v Speaker 2>they've been hit by injuries all season long, and this

249
00:11:50.759 --> 00:11:53.960
<v Speaker 2>rotation is right now currently been hit by injuries. I

250
00:11:53.960 --> 00:11:56.480
<v Speaker 2>imagine these guys, this is just another day, another arm

251
00:11:56.519 --> 00:11:57.279
<v Speaker 2>going down.

252
00:11:57.120 --> 00:12:00.440
<v Speaker 8>Right, Yeah, I honestly I think that's fair. Really does

253
00:12:00.480 --> 00:12:03.240
<v Speaker 8>feel like that, and it's another reminder of that next

254
00:12:03.240 --> 00:12:05.559
<v Speaker 8>man out mentality and who is going to be the

255
00:12:05.600 --> 00:12:08.399
<v Speaker 8>ones who set up We've seen and I can't even

256
00:12:08.399 --> 00:12:09.600
<v Speaker 8>say step up for jact Clarity.

257
00:12:09.759 --> 00:12:11.879
<v Speaker 7>We've seen him come to this organization and he's been

258
00:12:11.960 --> 00:12:12.799
<v Speaker 7>everything they could.

259
00:12:12.600 --> 00:12:16.039
<v Speaker 8>Have asked for and more being acquired at the trade deadline.

260
00:12:16.879 --> 00:12:19.240
<v Speaker 9>Govin Stone obviously has been lighted out all year.

261
00:12:19.080 --> 00:12:20.440
<v Speaker 7>Because he's down with injury.

262
00:12:20.600 --> 00:12:24.159
<v Speaker 9>He's hopefully going to be playing catch this weekend.

263
00:12:23.919 --> 00:12:26.279
<v Speaker 7>In Miami, so we'll see what that means for him.

264
00:12:26.399 --> 00:12:29.360
<v Speaker 7>And there's someone like Clayton Kershaw, they got to kind

265
00:12:29.360 --> 00:12:30.559
<v Speaker 7>of see what the next time they're going to look

266
00:12:30.559 --> 00:12:33.279
<v Speaker 7>like for him. He's been kind of chingering and kind

267
00:12:33.279 --> 00:12:35.639
<v Speaker 7>of doing a few things in the bullpen, not necessarily

268
00:12:35.639 --> 00:12:38.879
<v Speaker 7>really getting off the mound just yet. His return for

269
00:12:38.919 --> 00:12:41.320
<v Speaker 7>the regular season, I think there's still a question mark.

270
00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:44.480
<v Speaker 7>Doesn't feel too likely, but they're hoping for October he

271
00:12:44.519 --> 00:12:47.799
<v Speaker 7>could potentially be available. So it's now and I talk

272
00:12:47.840 --> 00:12:50.360
<v Speaker 7>about those guys stepping up, it's Walker Bueller.

273
00:12:50.519 --> 00:12:52.080
<v Speaker 8>It's what Bobby Miller.

274
00:12:51.879 --> 00:12:55.080
<v Speaker 9>Kind of figure out. What can layman that potentially do.

275
00:12:55.519 --> 00:12:58.000
<v Speaker 9>So if some of those other guys they're cool or

276
00:12:58.200 --> 00:13:00.320
<v Speaker 9>who's going to be the ones who can really up

277
00:13:00.360 --> 00:13:01.639
<v Speaker 9>to the troops right now?

278
00:13:01.720 --> 00:13:04.840
<v Speaker 7>So we're gonna kind of all find out together. But

279
00:13:04.919 --> 00:13:07.919
<v Speaker 7>Dave Roberts good say that he still feels he feels

280
00:13:07.960 --> 00:13:10.840
<v Speaker 7>confident that with the talent that they have, they can

281
00:13:11.360 --> 00:13:13.720
<v Speaker 7>make a really solid and a really.

282
00:13:13.480 --> 00:13:16.039
<v Speaker 9>Good time come off to us. That's ultimately what they're

283
00:13:16.080 --> 00:13:16.519
<v Speaker 9>hoping to.

284
00:13:16.519 --> 00:13:18.559
<v Speaker 2>Do with Kirsten is brought to you by Cars for Kids.

285
00:13:18.559 --> 00:13:20.120
<v Speaker 2>The easiest way to get rid of your old car.

286
00:13:20.200 --> 00:13:22.840
<v Speaker 2>Donate today your car if you picked up tomorrow, donating

287
00:13:22.840 --> 00:13:25.360
<v Speaker 2>now at Carsfrokids dot org. That's cars with a K.

288
00:13:25.840 --> 00:13:27.840
<v Speaker 2>For a long time, you could have put the Dodgers

289
00:13:27.919 --> 00:13:31.600
<v Speaker 2>front three hitters in sharpie every single day with Otani,

290
00:13:31.879 --> 00:13:34.559
<v Speaker 2>Betts and Freeman. But I looked at the lineup. It's

291
00:13:34.600 --> 00:13:36.159
<v Speaker 2>a little different tonight, Kirsten.

292
00:13:37.159 --> 00:13:39.039
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, So I'll tell you Dave Roberts about that. So

293
00:13:39.120 --> 00:13:42.600
<v Speaker 7>he's split payofsk Hernandez and Freddie Freeman's a Payosk, a

294
00:13:42.639 --> 00:13:44.960
<v Speaker 7>batting third, Freddie batting clean up. And what are you

295
00:13:45.039 --> 00:13:47.840
<v Speaker 7>looking to do with that is they're facing a very

296
00:13:47.879 --> 00:13:50.840
<v Speaker 7>talented letty with Chris Dale today on the mound, and

297
00:13:50.879 --> 00:13:53.279
<v Speaker 7>then they're going to be facing another like talented ustee

298
00:13:53.279 --> 00:13:56.440
<v Speaker 7>with Max Freed on Monday. So he's just saying, when

299
00:13:56.440 --> 00:13:59.039
<v Speaker 7>you're going up again, just whether it's top pictures, let's

300
00:13:59.039 --> 00:14:02.679
<v Speaker 7>be pictures putting essentially a leftie killer and chaofscer in

301
00:14:02.759 --> 00:14:06.840
<v Speaker 7>there to break out Mookie and Freddy. It's forcing you

302
00:14:06.879 --> 00:14:11.080
<v Speaker 7>to tack the picture. So realistically, you know Chris is

303
00:14:11.080 --> 00:14:13.080
<v Speaker 7>going to go three times through the order, and so

304
00:14:13.200 --> 00:14:15.320
<v Speaker 7>when he gets that third time to the order and

305
00:14:15.399 --> 00:14:18.559
<v Speaker 7>say he's at about one hundred or so pitches by

306
00:14:18.600 --> 00:14:20.840
<v Speaker 7>the time that he gets too chaos, well they're going

307
00:14:20.840 --> 00:14:22.639
<v Speaker 7>to keep him in there to praise another leftie and

308
00:14:22.679 --> 00:14:23.320
<v Speaker 7>Freddie Freeman.

309
00:14:23.360 --> 00:14:25.320
<v Speaker 9>So that's going to get Freddy a really good chance

310
00:14:25.360 --> 00:14:28.000
<v Speaker 9>to get to him. So it's just about adding a

311
00:14:28.000 --> 00:14:30.240
<v Speaker 9>little excess pass to the starting the picture.

312
00:14:30.320 --> 00:14:32.480
<v Speaker 7>And so Dave was saying that we're going to see

313
00:14:32.480 --> 00:14:34.559
<v Speaker 7>that like I mentioned today and then again on Monday

314
00:14:34.559 --> 00:14:37.399
<v Speaker 7>against the Free and then there is chances that.

315
00:14:37.399 --> 00:14:40.159
<v Speaker 9>We could be seeing it again the Talented.

316
00:14:39.879 --> 00:14:42.279
<v Speaker 7>Pictures on October, so we could be seeing more of

317
00:14:42.320 --> 00:14:44.159
<v Speaker 7>what the call of the order looks like right now.

318
00:14:44.200 --> 00:14:46.600
<v Speaker 2>Interesting. We'll see how it works tonight, Christen. We appreciate it.

319
00:14:46.679 --> 00:14:48.360
<v Speaker 2>We'll talk to you after the game. Still to come

320
00:14:48.399 --> 00:14:50.360
<v Speaker 2>here on Dodgers on Deck will dive deeper into this

321
00:14:50.360 --> 00:14:53.080

<v Speaker 2>this pitchy match up. We're gonna hear from Kevin kuer Myers.

333

<v Speaker 2>We lead you up to Dodgers and Braves first pitch

00:15:32.360 --> 00:15:32.919
<v Speaker 2>of four twenty.

335
00:15:33.360 --> 00:15:37.919
<v Speaker 1>This it's the LA Dodgers Injury.

336
00:15:37.519 --> 00:15:40.559
<v Speaker 2>Report, presented by UCLA Healthy official medical partner the Los

337
00:15:40.600 --> 00:15:43.960
<v Speaker 2>Angeles Dodgers. As we've been talking about Tyler Glass now

338
00:15:44.480 --> 00:15:47.360
<v Speaker 2>right elbow tendonitis. Looks like he's done for the least

339
00:15:47.399 --> 00:15:50.919
<v Speaker 2>the rest of the regulars season and possibly beyond. Clayton

340
00:15:51.000 --> 00:15:54.159
<v Speaker 2>Kershaw still has the left turf toe in his big

341
00:15:54.240 --> 00:15:56.600
<v Speaker 2>left toe. Looks like he won't be ready until at

342
00:15:56.639 --> 00:15:58.919
<v Speaker 2>least October. Joe Kelly on the eye eel at the

343
00:15:58.960 --> 00:16:02.120
<v Speaker 2>right shoulder inflammation, Gavin Stone on the I L with

344
00:16:02.200 --> 00:16:04.879
<v Speaker 2>the elbow inflammation. All right, let's hear from the skipper

345
00:16:04.919 --> 00:16:06.639
<v Speaker 2>as you go back to Atlanta. Here from Dave robert

346
00:16:06.840 --> 00:16:07.200
<v Speaker 2>anything else?

347
00:16:08.759 --> 00:16:11.799
<v Speaker 10>The questions for Dave, Dave, can you just describe Dave?

348
00:16:11.879 --> 00:16:14.480
<v Speaker 10>Can you talk about the pressure in.

349
00:16:14.360 --> 00:16:16.879
<v Speaker 1>The dugouts with Dave Roberts.

350
00:16:17.600 --> 00:16:20.639
<v Speaker 11>I think all along that's sort of been what it is,

351
00:16:21.519 --> 00:16:24.080
<v Speaker 11>I mean without getting too specific, and I don't know

352
00:16:24.480 --> 00:16:28.559
<v Speaker 11>all the specifics, and I think that saying it's the

353
00:16:28.600 --> 00:16:33.080
<v Speaker 11>spraying sort of encompasses a lot. And right now, he can't.

354
00:16:33.840 --> 00:16:35.720
<v Speaker 11>He's not going to be phone in baseball for a while.

355
00:16:36.320 --> 00:16:39.279
<v Speaker 10>I mean unlikely any.

356
00:16:39.039 --> 00:16:42.759
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, I don't, I don't. I mean, you know, if

357
00:16:42.759 --> 00:16:47.159
<v Speaker 11>something drastically changes. But from what I understand, you know,

358
00:16:47.240 --> 00:16:51.759
<v Speaker 11>you're talking about a shutdown of any time of throwing

359
00:16:51.840 --> 00:16:55.399
<v Speaker 11>right now cuts into you know, how much time we

360
00:16:55.440 --> 00:16:58.480
<v Speaker 11>have left to play in the season. So, like I said,

361
00:16:58.480 --> 00:17:00.000
<v Speaker 11>I think it's very unlikely.

362
00:16:59.840 --> 00:17:02.879
<v Speaker 6>They give a blow. Is this tier rotation you signed

363
00:17:02.960 --> 00:17:05.359
<v Speaker 6>him to be able to help you guys in October?

364
00:17:05.920 --> 00:17:09.720
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, it's a big blow, you know, looking at you know,

365
00:17:09.759 --> 00:17:13.200
<v Speaker 11>what he meant for our ball club, what he's done

366
00:17:13.279 --> 00:17:17.640
<v Speaker 11>for us, what we expected him to do, certainly is

367
00:17:17.680 --> 00:17:21.200
<v Speaker 11>going to be a cost. But we've got to move

368
00:17:21.240 --> 00:17:24.119
<v Speaker 11>on and we will, and we have a lot of

369
00:17:24.160 --> 00:17:28.039
<v Speaker 11>capable people. And I feel bad for Tyler because he

370
00:17:28.079 --> 00:17:32.079
<v Speaker 11>did everything, you know, to stay healthy and to get

371
00:17:32.119 --> 00:17:34.359
<v Speaker 11>back and it just wasn't gonna happen.

372
00:17:34.680 --> 00:17:37.640
<v Speaker 2>Is that mean a spring pretty confident that they won't

373
00:17:37.680 --> 00:17:38.680
<v Speaker 2>need anything in the off seasons.

374
00:17:39.680 --> 00:17:42.440
<v Speaker 11>I don't think that we're thinking that far ahead. I

375
00:17:42.720 --> 00:17:45.200
<v Speaker 11>think that right now we're just gonna shut him down

376
00:17:45.240 --> 00:17:47.319
<v Speaker 11>for a little bit and see where we go from there.

377
00:17:47.440 --> 00:17:49.319
<v Speaker 7>How much does that then add to the importance of

378
00:17:50.559 --> 00:17:53.119
<v Speaker 7>with Gadenstone playing catch next week and then even with

379
00:17:53.160 --> 00:17:55.000
<v Speaker 7>Clayt Kirch, I believe he was in the bullton today.

380
00:17:55.559 --> 00:17:58.960
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, Clayton has continued to do what he does and

381
00:17:59.359 --> 00:18:03.720
<v Speaker 11>trying to get back and so I'm hopeful that, you know,

382
00:18:04.359 --> 00:18:06.960
<v Speaker 11>we feel confident that he can take the mound for

383
00:18:07.039 --> 00:18:09.160
<v Speaker 11>us this year. As far as Gavin, We're not going

384
00:18:09.240 --> 00:18:11.519
<v Speaker 11>to know until he starts playing catch, and then we'll

385
00:18:11.559 --> 00:18:12.519
<v Speaker 11>know more once he does that.

386
00:18:12.799 --> 00:18:15.279
<v Speaker 7>With the bullpen today, was it a traditional bullpen for

387
00:18:15.440 --> 00:18:18.119
<v Speaker 7>Clayton kersha are still kind of one that he's been

388
00:18:18.200 --> 00:18:19.559
<v Speaker 7>kind of doing the last couple of days.

389
00:18:19.920 --> 00:18:23.640
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, I don't think it was a normal convention. It

390
00:18:23.680 --> 00:18:26.519
<v Speaker 11>was a little makeshift pen for.

391
00:18:26.519 --> 00:18:28.279
<v Speaker 1>Any chance for him to kind of come back, Like

392
00:18:28.359 --> 00:18:31.160
<v Speaker 1>when I was given where we are in the calendar,

393
00:18:31.200 --> 00:18:33.240
<v Speaker 1>like when do you want him to get off the

394
00:18:33.240 --> 00:18:35.279
<v Speaker 1>mountain and see how you can kind of progress from there?

395
00:18:38.839 --> 00:18:42.599
<v Speaker 11>Well, I just for the for the regular season. I

396
00:18:42.680 --> 00:18:45.079
<v Speaker 11>just don't see that as a possibility. So you know,

397
00:18:45.160 --> 00:18:49.000
<v Speaker 11>when you start talking about down the road that I

398
00:18:49.000 --> 00:18:51.039
<v Speaker 11>don't think anyone can answer right now, but I think

399
00:18:51.519 --> 00:18:54.440
<v Speaker 11>you know it's safe to say that the regular season

400
00:18:54.559 --> 00:18:56.000
<v Speaker 11>is not going to be on the table.

401
00:18:57.640 --> 00:18:58.480
<v Speaker 6>Years power.

402
00:19:00.960 --> 00:19:04.960
<v Speaker 11>It's difficult, it's manageable. We're doing it. I think the

403
00:19:05.000 --> 00:19:07.880
<v Speaker 11>main thing is that we have to just continue to

404
00:19:07.920 --> 00:19:10.480
<v Speaker 11>stay focused on the players that are available to us

405
00:19:10.880 --> 00:19:13.359
<v Speaker 11>and winning a baseball game that night. And to the

406
00:19:13.400 --> 00:19:17.319
<v Speaker 11>guys credit, that's what they've done. And we've put ourselves

407
00:19:17.319 --> 00:19:19.480
<v Speaker 11>in a good spot, you know, given all that we've

408
00:19:19.480 --> 00:19:22.160
<v Speaker 11>gone through this year, but still got a pretty good

409
00:19:22.160 --> 00:19:22.559
<v Speaker 11>ball club.

410
00:19:23.079 --> 00:19:26.039
<v Speaker 12>Confident argue, and how the staff might look, you know,

411
00:19:26.200 --> 00:19:27.640
<v Speaker 12>to be able to make the kind of running out

412
00:19:27.640 --> 00:19:29.960
<v Speaker 12>over you guys want to kind of as it's shaping up.

413
00:19:29.839 --> 00:19:34.200
<v Speaker 11>Now, I'm still confident. I don't think that there's one

414
00:19:34.279 --> 00:19:37.079
<v Speaker 11>way to win a championship. I think you can look

415
00:19:37.160 --> 00:19:40.359
<v Speaker 11>back at the teams recently and how their staffs came

416
00:19:40.400 --> 00:19:45.880
<v Speaker 11>together and who stepped up for each team's you know, staff,

417
00:19:46.400 --> 00:19:49.519
<v Speaker 11>and so you know, we're gonna have the guys that

418
00:19:49.559 --> 00:19:52.440
<v Speaker 11>we have, and I feel confident whoever we run out there,

419
00:19:52.519 --> 00:19:56.839
<v Speaker 11>But certainly, you know, losing Tyler for any length of time,

420
00:19:56.960 --> 00:19:59.519
<v Speaker 11>Clayton for any length of time, Gavin Stone, what he's done,

421
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:01.200
<v Speaker 11>it's certainly a hit, no.

422
00:20:01.160 --> 00:20:04.480
<v Speaker 10>Doubt, Kevin still expected to start throwing the screen.

423
00:20:04.559 --> 00:20:06.160
<v Speaker 11>Kim, I think that's the plan.

424
00:20:06.519 --> 00:20:07.400
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, all right.

425
00:20:07.440 --> 00:20:10.279
<v Speaker 2>There's Dave Roberts down in the dugout talking a lot

426
00:20:10.319 --> 00:20:14.880
<v Speaker 2>about the pitching staff. Clayton Kershaw certainly Tyler glasnow being

427
00:20:14.960 --> 00:20:17.519

00:21:26.039 --> 00:21:27.799
<v Speaker 6>I accept everybody for who they are.

451
00:21:27.920 --> 00:21:31.440
<v Speaker 1>This is Dodger insider David Basse.

452
00:21:31.839 --> 00:21:33.839
<v Speaker 3>DV the Tyler glass Now News.

453
00:21:33.920 --> 00:21:36.519
<v Speaker 2>It kind of feels like Dave Roberts has been hinting

454
00:21:36.559 --> 00:21:39.839
<v Speaker 2>that Glassnew may not be as healthy as we thought

455
00:21:39.880 --> 00:21:41.920
<v Speaker 2>and may not come back, and today we find out

456
00:21:42.119 --> 00:21:43.000
<v Speaker 2>he's not coming back.

457
00:21:43.960 --> 00:21:46.759
<v Speaker 6>Well, yeah, obviously it was a big red flag when

458
00:21:46.960 --> 00:21:49.680
<v Speaker 6>he felt something in his right elbow warming up in

459
00:21:49.720 --> 00:21:54.079
<v Speaker 6>the bullpen yesterday for a simulated game. And it's been

460
00:21:54.160 --> 00:21:57.720
<v Speaker 6>mixed messages from glass Now himself ever since he went

461
00:21:57.759 --> 00:22:00.880
<v Speaker 6>on the I Allen Saint Louis remember the day that

462
00:22:00.920 --> 00:22:03.839
<v Speaker 6>he went on the IL. He was fighting up until

463
00:22:03.880 --> 00:22:06.960
<v Speaker 6>a half hour before first pitch to try to make

464
00:22:07.000 --> 00:22:09.920
<v Speaker 6>that start and avoid the IL. And here we are

465
00:22:10.039 --> 00:22:13.720
<v Speaker 6>now where Dave Roberts said, the scans that he took

466
00:22:13.839 --> 00:22:18.160
<v Speaker 6>yesterday show a sprained right elbow. I'm not sure what

467
00:22:18.359 --> 00:22:22.839
<v Speaker 6>the details of that scan were, because when you say sprain,

468
00:22:23.279 --> 00:22:27.440
<v Speaker 6>that's essentially a tear. How significant is the tear? We

469
00:22:27.480 --> 00:22:30.960
<v Speaker 6>don't know all those answers yet, and certainly a lot

470
00:22:31.000 --> 00:22:35.640
<v Speaker 6>of mystery surrounding glass Noow's injury and just exactly what

471
00:22:35.839 --> 00:22:40.160
<v Speaker 6>has been the issue. But nonetheless, his season is likely

472
00:22:40.240 --> 00:22:43.480
<v Speaker 6>over according to his manager, and that's a big blow

473
00:22:43.559 --> 00:22:47.079
<v Speaker 6>to the Dodgers, who traded Ryan Pepio and Johnny de

474
00:22:47.160 --> 00:22:51.359
<v Speaker 6>Luca for Tyler Glass now and gave him a five year,

475
00:22:51.480 --> 00:22:54.400
<v Speaker 6>one hundred and thirty six and a half million dollar

476
00:22:54.559 --> 00:22:59.000
<v Speaker 6>extension in the process as they made that trade, and

477
00:22:59.079 --> 00:23:03.400
<v Speaker 6>they made that trade to solidify their October rotation, and

478
00:23:03.480 --> 00:23:05.720
<v Speaker 6>they're not going to have one of their big horses

479
00:23:05.839 --> 00:23:07.880
<v Speaker 6>to try to win the World Series.

480
00:23:07.480 --> 00:23:07.799
<v Speaker 9>All right.

481
00:23:07.839 --> 00:23:10.880
<v Speaker 2>With that being said, David, what does this pitching staff,

482
00:23:10.920 --> 00:23:13.920
<v Speaker 2>the rotation look like down the stretch of the last

483
00:23:13.960 --> 00:23:15.720
<v Speaker 2>fifteen games getting into October.

484
00:23:16.599 --> 00:23:20.279
<v Speaker 6>The only certainty right now is tonight's starter, Jack Flaherty,

485
00:23:20.839 --> 00:23:25.039
<v Speaker 6>And you know you have to go off Yamamoto's last start.

486
00:23:25.160 --> 00:23:29.880
<v Speaker 6>Right now, it's Flarity and Yamamoto and maybe Gavin Stone.

487
00:23:29.920 --> 00:23:33.200
<v Speaker 6>He's gonna start throwing on Monday, and we'll see where

488
00:23:33.240 --> 00:23:35.839
<v Speaker 6>that goes. But right now, those are the only two

489
00:23:35.960 --> 00:23:40.240
<v Speaker 6>starting pitchers that you can count on when the NLDS

490
00:23:40.279 --> 00:23:44.519
<v Speaker 6>starts or the Wildcard Series starts. Tim because the Dodgers

491
00:23:44.559 --> 00:23:48.079
<v Speaker 6>are only two games ahead of the Brewers for that

492
00:23:48.680 --> 00:23:51.920
<v Speaker 6>number two seed to earn them a bye in the

493
00:23:51.920 --> 00:23:52.640
<v Speaker 6>first round.

494
00:23:53.039 --> 00:23:55.000
<v Speaker 2>David is driven by Ford. If there's one thing we like,

495
00:23:55.039 --> 00:23:57.440
<v Speaker 2>its choices, find yours. With the four half one to

496
00:23:57.480 --> 00:24:00.839
<v Speaker 2>fifty gas hybrid, all electric tough this can only be

497
00:24:00.920 --> 00:24:03.480
<v Speaker 2>called f one fifty all right, a name we keep

498
00:24:03.519 --> 00:24:07.000
<v Speaker 2>talking about possibly pitching for the Dodgers in October. David

499
00:24:07.359 --> 00:24:09.720
<v Speaker 2>is Shoey Otani and he threw again today.

500
00:24:10.759 --> 00:24:15.519
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, another bullpen session today. The last one was twenty pitches.

501
00:24:15.720 --> 00:24:20.079
<v Speaker 6>Today was twenty five pitches. I walked myself all the

502
00:24:20.119 --> 00:24:23.400
<v Speaker 6>way to the Dodger bullpen in the left field corner

503
00:24:23.480 --> 00:24:27.759
<v Speaker 6>to get a first glance at Otani. This was his

504
00:24:27.920 --> 00:24:33.000
<v Speaker 6>sixth bullpen session. No word on when Otani is going

505
00:24:33.039 --> 00:24:36.400
<v Speaker 6>to throw to hitters, but in the plan rehab from

506
00:24:36.400 --> 00:24:40.279
<v Speaker 6>his second elbow surgery, the word was that he was

507
00:24:40.400 --> 00:24:43.440
<v Speaker 6>going to face hitters in the month of September. What

508
00:24:43.519 --> 00:24:45.480
<v Speaker 6>I can also tell you as far as the plan

509
00:24:45.559 --> 00:24:48.880
<v Speaker 6>for Otani right now, the plan is for him to

510
00:24:48.960 --> 00:24:53.799
<v Speaker 6>shut down his throwing program when the regular season ends

511
00:24:53.839 --> 00:24:57.160
<v Speaker 6>so he could focus on the playoffs, his first ever

512
00:24:57.559 --> 00:25:01.559
<v Speaker 6>opportunity to play in the postseason here in Major League Baseball.

513
00:25:01.920 --> 00:25:04.799
<v Speaker 6>But my understanding is the Dodgers are going to have

514
00:25:05.039 --> 00:25:08.599
<v Speaker 6>a meeting when they return home to determine whether or

515
00:25:08.640 --> 00:25:11.400
<v Speaker 6>not that is still going to be the plan. Look,

516
00:25:11.759 --> 00:25:15.039
<v Speaker 6>the chances of Otani pitching in the postseason, I was told,

517
00:25:15.160 --> 00:25:19.240
<v Speaker 6>is at one percent. Nobody is saying absolutely not, but

518
00:25:19.279 --> 00:25:23.119
<v Speaker 6>the chances are a long shot tim that O'tani would

519
00:25:23.160 --> 00:25:26.880
<v Speaker 6>throw a pitch in the postseason. Talking to some Japanese

520
00:25:26.880 --> 00:25:31.039
<v Speaker 6>reporters that have followed O'tani throughout his career, they feel

521
00:25:31.079 --> 00:25:34.839
<v Speaker 6>like if the Dodgers did reach the World Series, Otani

522
00:25:35.000 --> 00:25:37.079
<v Speaker 6>certainly would entertain that idea.

523
00:25:37.160 --> 00:25:39.240
<v Speaker 3>We shall see a lot of decisions still to come.

524
00:25:39.359 --> 00:25:41.720
<v Speaker 2>David appreciate it. We'll check back in with you, Dodger fans.

<v Speaker 6>Chris Sale going up against Jack Flaherty. Run should be

601
00:29:26.640 --> 00:29:27.759
<v Speaker 6>at a premium tonight.

602
00:29:27.880 --> 00:29:31.119
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, And do you go ahead and run your defense

603
00:29:31.200 --> 00:29:34.519
<v Speaker 5>differently with you get the runners on base? Do you

604
00:29:34.559 --> 00:29:39.160
<v Speaker 5>think about the offense a little differently? And these are

605
00:29:39.200 --> 00:29:41.079
<v Speaker 5>one of the games that you look at and you

606
00:29:41.160 --> 00:29:43.960
<v Speaker 5>say this is something special and you're looking at I

607
00:29:43.960 --> 00:29:46.279
<v Speaker 5>mean for Sale, no question about it. I mean, he's

608
00:29:46.640 --> 00:29:50.319
<v Speaker 5>he's basically the fore runner for the nationallygue Cy Young Award.

609
00:29:50.799 --> 00:29:53.599
<v Speaker 5>And if you look at what Flaherty has done since

610
00:29:53.640 --> 00:29:56.240
<v Speaker 5>he has joined this Dodger buclub, and especially now in

611
00:29:56.319 --> 00:29:59.880
<v Speaker 5>light of all the injuries with the starting pitchers, Flarerty

612
00:30:00.079 --> 00:30:03.359
<v Speaker 5>has really been a breath of fresh air for this bunklock.

613
00:30:03.640 --> 00:30:06.039
<v Speaker 6>You talk about thinking through the game and when there

614
00:30:06.039 --> 00:30:08.799
<v Speaker 6>are two really good pitchers on the mound and thinking

615
00:30:08.880 --> 00:30:11.480
<v Speaker 6>runs are gonna be hard to come by. Dodger third

616
00:30:11.519 --> 00:30:14.319
<v Speaker 6>base coach Dino E Bowl was taking me through a

617
00:30:14.359 --> 00:30:17.440
<v Speaker 6>couple of things and looking at the braves dh that

618
00:30:17.559 --> 00:30:20.480
<v Speaker 6>is playing right field, and that's rage sol Laire. He

619
00:30:20.519 --> 00:30:23.759
<v Speaker 6>said he's going to be aggressive, especially with the wet grass,

620
00:30:24.000 --> 00:30:25.160
<v Speaker 6>if Soilaire gets the ball.

621
00:30:25.240 --> 00:30:26.880
<v Speaker 5>I was just going to bring up, you know, there's

622
00:30:26.880 --> 00:30:30.400
<v Speaker 5>a possibility. Neither team took batting practice. The infield was

623
00:30:31.000 --> 00:30:34.160
<v Speaker 5>covered up with the tarp. We've had light rain on

624
00:30:34.519 --> 00:30:37.079
<v Speaker 5>and off. The rain is supposed to hold off for

625
00:30:37.119 --> 00:30:40.319
<v Speaker 5>the most part until about nine or ten o'clock local time,

626
00:30:40.400 --> 00:30:44.640
<v Speaker 5>but in between, yes, challenge the throws, especially right down.

627
00:30:45.079 --> 00:30:48.119
<v Speaker 5>And as you brought up, it could if everything comes

628
00:30:48.160 --> 00:30:52.839
<v Speaker 5>to fruition, it could be a low scoring game. So

629
00:30:53.039 --> 00:30:56.240
<v Speaker 5>the premium of trying to stretch things out, which also

630
00:30:56.359 --> 00:30:59.000
<v Speaker 5>includes another thing. I think you have to be aggressive

631
00:30:59.039 --> 00:31:01.359
<v Speaker 5>on the bases if you're the runner to be able

632
00:31:01.400 --> 00:31:03.680
<v Speaker 5>to hey, make sure you get that good secondary lead.

633
00:31:04.039 --> 00:31:06.720
<v Speaker 5>This could be a ballgame. The difference in maybe one

634
00:31:06.759 --> 00:31:09.400
<v Speaker 5>stride safer out into a base or home plate.

635
00:31:09.759 --> 00:31:09.920
<v Speaker 7>Rick.

636
00:31:10.000 --> 00:31:12.720
<v Speaker 6>We got the news from Dave Roberts earlier today that

637
00:31:12.880 --> 00:31:17.119
<v Speaker 6>Tyler Glass now season is likely over with the sprained

638
00:31:17.319 --> 00:31:20.079
<v Speaker 6>right elbow. How big of a blow is this for

639
00:31:20.160 --> 00:31:20.759
<v Speaker 6>the Dodgers.

640
00:31:21.000 --> 00:31:24.279
<v Speaker 5>I think is very big. I don't know what the

641
00:31:24.319 --> 00:31:28.119
<v Speaker 5>percentage was to him possibly being healthy, but the fact

642
00:31:28.160 --> 00:31:30.680
<v Speaker 5>that he was on this trip, he started warming up

643
00:31:30.680 --> 00:31:33.880
<v Speaker 5>in the bullpen yesterday afternoon early going and was going

644
00:31:33.880 --> 00:31:36.559
<v Speaker 5>to throw the simulated game, but did not come out

645
00:31:36.599 --> 00:31:39.000
<v Speaker 5>and throw that sim game. It's a big, big blow

646
00:31:39.039 --> 00:31:41.519
<v Speaker 5>to this Dodger block club because you look at Okay,

647
00:31:41.680 --> 00:31:44.839
<v Speaker 5>he's injured. We don't know what's happening with Clayton Kersham.

648
00:31:45.279 --> 00:31:47.680
<v Speaker 5>Which Walker Buehller are we going to be able to

649
00:31:47.720 --> 00:31:50.000
<v Speaker 5>see and which Bobby Miller are we going to be

650
00:31:50.039 --> 00:31:54.000
<v Speaker 5>able to see? Because both Bueller and Miller have struggled

651
00:31:54.039 --> 00:31:58.359
<v Speaker 5>in recent times. This is a situation. I think it's

652
00:31:58.400 --> 00:32:00.480
<v Speaker 5>concerning as far as the Dodgers arting.

653
00:32:00.359 --> 00:32:03.680
<v Speaker 6>Pitching, and in that Dodger clubhouse, those players are not

654
00:32:03.799 --> 00:32:06.599
<v Speaker 6>blind to what's going on. The names that you mentioned,

655
00:32:06.799 --> 00:32:09.480
<v Speaker 6>they're very aware of how much the Dodgers need you.

656
00:32:09.720 --> 00:32:12.160
<v Speaker 5>Because these are not guys that just happened to full

657
00:32:12.240 --> 00:32:14.160
<v Speaker 5>off the turner truck. And say, hey, you have them.

658
00:32:14.160 --> 00:32:16.440
<v Speaker 5>I mean, these are guys that you understand what they've

659
00:32:16.480 --> 00:32:18.960
<v Speaker 5>been able to do in their ability, and that is

660
00:32:19.000 --> 00:32:21.920
<v Speaker 5>a huge void at the present time. But then you

661
00:32:21.960 --> 00:32:23.720
<v Speaker 5>start to look at things. Landon Ak did not have

662
00:32:23.759 --> 00:32:26.720
<v Speaker 5>a good game last night, and I thought Dave Roberts

663
00:32:26.799 --> 00:32:29.240
<v Speaker 5>kind of put in perspective. He goes, look, that's really

664
00:32:29.279 --> 00:32:32.680
<v Speaker 5>the first time that he's he's not had a presentable

665
00:32:32.759 --> 00:32:35.279
<v Speaker 5>type of a game since he's come up in big,

666
00:32:35.319 --> 00:32:38.440
<v Speaker 5>big situations. I look for him to rebound nicely as

667
00:32:38.440 --> 00:32:39.240
<v Speaker 5>next outing.

668
00:32:39.319 --> 00:32:41.920
<v Speaker 6>And the Dodgers only scored two runs last night. Rick

669
00:32:42.000 --> 00:32:44.000
<v Speaker 6>and a lot of people were talking about some of

670
00:32:44.039 --> 00:32:47.039
<v Speaker 6>the bad show. Hey o Tani was having. Do you

671
00:32:47.119 --> 00:32:50.079
<v Speaker 6>feel like he's pressing the chase fifty home runs?

672
00:32:51.480 --> 00:32:53.960
<v Speaker 5>It might be, but here's the other part. Other people

673
00:32:53.960 --> 00:32:58.200
<v Speaker 5>are understanding what's happening and listening to the television reports,

674
00:32:58.279 --> 00:33:00.960
<v Speaker 5>picking up the paper, going on social media. They know

675
00:33:01.559 --> 00:33:04.720
<v Speaker 5>what a monster, as far as an offensive threat Otani

676
00:33:04.799 --> 00:33:08.079
<v Speaker 5>has been. How many guys want their names associated with Hey,

677
00:33:08.119 --> 00:33:10.640
<v Speaker 5>I'm the guy that through the forty ninth home run,

678
00:33:10.720 --> 00:33:13.160
<v Speaker 5>I'm the guy that through the fiftieth home run or

679
00:33:13.200 --> 00:33:18.880
<v Speaker 5>allowed even a stolen base clubs, especially Atlanta Braves. Braves

680
00:33:18.880 --> 00:33:21.960
<v Speaker 5>don't have any wiggle room right now. They're trying desperately

681
00:33:22.000 --> 00:33:25.960
<v Speaker 5>to get the postseason playoff berth somehow, some way, and

682
00:33:26.279 --> 00:33:28.079
<v Speaker 5>they're not going to give an inch at all.

683
00:33:28.160 --> 00:33:31.359
<v Speaker 6>No doubt. And the Dodgers certainly don't have things wrapped

684
00:33:31.440 --> 00:33:33.400
<v Speaker 6>up in the NL West either, Rick, I feel like

685
00:33:33.440 --> 00:33:34.759
<v Speaker 6>we can't take that for granted.

686
00:33:34.799 --> 00:33:36.759
<v Speaker 5>And Dave Roberts said that a couple of days ago.

687
00:33:36.880 --> 00:33:40.160
<v Speaker 5>So look, we had not nailed down a playoff berth

688
00:33:40.440 --> 00:33:44.400
<v Speaker 5>exactly yet, not right now. That's still at some point

689
00:33:44.440 --> 00:33:47.000
<v Speaker 5>in time. You can talk magic numbers all you want

690
00:33:47.359 --> 00:33:50.079
<v Speaker 5>until you get there. It's something out of hit. Dodgers

691
00:33:50.079 --> 00:33:52.920
<v Speaker 5>have to look at this ballgame right here tonight, and

692
00:33:52.960 --> 00:33:55.200
<v Speaker 5>they look at two more before they go down to Miami,

693
00:33:55.279 --> 00:33:58.079
<v Speaker 5>and don't take the Marlins for granted either when they're

694
00:33:58.079 --> 00:33:59.759
<v Speaker 5>down there for the three game series in the back

695
00:33:59.839 --> 00:34:00.759
<v Speaker 5>end to this road trip.

696
00:34:00.839 --> 00:34:02.359
<v Speaker 6>That's what they call a trap series.

697
00:34:02.440 --> 00:34:06.599
<v Speaker 5>Rick, No, this was a trap segment.

698
00:34:07.319 --> 00:34:09.559
<v Speaker 6>Every day it is. I trap you into this, Rick.

699
00:34:09.679 --> 00:34:11.960
<v Speaker 5>I told Dwayne McDonald locked the door to the boost

700
00:34:11.960 --> 00:34:13.000
<v Speaker 5>and he didn't do it again.

701
00:34:13.199 --> 00:34:15.360
<v Speaker 6>I know, I know you, hey, you are really popular.

702
00:34:15.400 --> 00:34:18.360
<v Speaker 6>By the way in Atlanta, I have not seen these

703
00:34:18.440 --> 00:34:21.360
<v Speaker 6>many people come into the booth to really kiss the

704
00:34:21.440 --> 00:34:22.480
<v Speaker 6>ring of Rick Monday.

705
00:34:22.559 --> 00:34:23.639
<v Speaker 5>No, they were into seed dlamee.

706
00:34:25.199 --> 00:34:26.960
<v Speaker 6>Thanks Rick. We'll check back in with you a little

707
00:34:26.960 --> 00:34:29.360
<v Speaker 6>bit da all right, thanks, and we'll send it back

708

710

<v Speaker 3>Let's keep it that way there, guys.

711

00:34:56.320 --> 00:34:59.159

<v Speaker 2>Dodgers and Braves from Chewis Park in Atlanta, Game two

727
00:35:22.519 --> 00:35:25.920

00:35:25.960 --> 00:35:28.760
<v Speaker 2>looking to get back on track tonight. Great pitching matchup

736
00:35:51.719 --> 00:35:52.639
<v Speaker 1>a Dodger player.

737
00:35:52.679 --> 00:35:53.960
<v Speaker 3>It's an engagement of endearment.

738
00:35:54.000 --> 00:35:55.880
<v Speaker 1>This is high and tight.

739
00:35:57.159 --> 00:35:59.880
<v Speaker 6>It's a college football Saturday. But the Dodgers have a

740
00:36:00.159 --> 00:36:02.559
<v Speaker 6>game to play tonight here in Atlanta. And I'm joined

741
00:36:02.639 --> 00:36:05.079
<v Speaker 6>right now by a man that went to a college

742
00:36:05.119 --> 00:36:08.719
<v Speaker 6>in Champagne, Illinois, and no, not the University of Illinois.

743
00:36:09.079 --> 00:36:11.199
<v Speaker 6>That is the one and only Kevin Kiermeyer. Thanks a

744
00:36:11.239 --> 00:36:12.599
<v Speaker 6>lot for the time appreciated.

745
00:36:12.719 --> 00:36:13.320
<v Speaker 10>Thank you. David.

746
00:36:13.599 --> 00:36:15.840
<v Speaker 6>Hey, I'm trying to figure you out. On Saturdays, you

747
00:36:15.880 --> 00:36:19.119
<v Speaker 6>get really into college football. Last week you were pumped

748
00:36:19.119 --> 00:36:23.320
<v Speaker 6>for Central Illinois or some school that beat Notre Dame,

749
00:36:23.360 --> 00:36:27.880
<v Speaker 6>and today you're watching Oklahoma Northern Illinois. So I'm trying

750
00:36:27.920 --> 00:36:29.920
<v Speaker 6>to figure out where your loyalties lie.

751
00:36:30.679 --> 00:36:33.280
<v Speaker 12>My loyalty lies with the Purdue Bulletmakers, who are getting

752
00:36:33.400 --> 00:36:34.840
<v Speaker 12>trounced right now by Notre Dame.

753
00:36:34.960 --> 00:36:37.119
<v Speaker 10>So a lot of ball left.

754
00:36:37.199 --> 00:36:40.960
<v Speaker 12>But yeah, I'm a Purdue Bulletmaker fan. But they're backs

755
00:36:41.000 --> 00:36:42.880
<v Speaker 12>against the wall right now. Yeah, there we go.

756
00:36:42.960 --> 00:36:45.280
<v Speaker 6>See in Tampa Bay, they know all about you, but

757
00:36:45.360 --> 00:36:48.119
<v Speaker 6>in LA we don't know a lot about you. You're

758
00:36:48.119 --> 00:36:53.360
<v Speaker 6>an Indiana kids, So why did college take you to Champagne, Illinois.

759
00:36:54.079 --> 00:36:59.000
<v Speaker 12>Well, I didn't have any offers hardy for I wanted.

760
00:36:59.079 --> 00:37:01.599
<v Speaker 10>I knew it. I was going to play baseball or football.

761
00:37:02.719 --> 00:37:05.480
<v Speaker 12>Had a gross spurt my senior year, and none of

762
00:37:05.519 --> 00:37:07.719
<v Speaker 12>those were looking really good. But I grew and had

763
00:37:07.719 --> 00:37:12.440
<v Speaker 12>a really good senior year football and then baseball as well.

764
00:37:12.480 --> 00:37:14.760
<v Speaker 10>We won state championships in both.

765
00:37:15.000 --> 00:37:18.519
<v Speaker 12>And where I got scouted by my junior college, I

766
00:37:18.599 --> 00:37:21.440
<v Speaker 12>was in Champan, Illinois park on junior college is what

767
00:37:21.480 --> 00:37:24.199
<v Speaker 12>they're called, and I took a visit there and I

768
00:37:24.199 --> 00:37:26.360
<v Speaker 12>said Okay, I'm going to do the baseball route and

769
00:37:26.760 --> 00:37:30.480
<v Speaker 12>made a good choice. But yeah, I didn't really have

770
00:37:30.840 --> 00:37:34.119
<v Speaker 12>many offers at all and made the best of junior college,

771
00:37:34.159 --> 00:37:36.239
<v Speaker 12>and two years later I was drafted.

772
00:37:36.440 --> 00:37:40.880
<v Speaker 6>Wait a minute, you mentioned football and baseball but not basketball.

773
00:37:40.880 --> 00:37:43.320
<v Speaker 6>How could that be for a kid from the Hoosier State.

774
00:37:43.760 --> 00:37:46.119
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, I was. I was small.

775
00:37:46.199 --> 00:37:50.719
<v Speaker 12>I was really small, and our high school was very talented,

776
00:37:50.760 --> 00:37:53.000
<v Speaker 12>really good players, and playing time wasn't going to be

777
00:37:53.719 --> 00:37:55.360
<v Speaker 12>really a thing. And it got to the point my

778
00:37:55.400 --> 00:37:58.079
<v Speaker 12>senior year. I played all the way up until my

779
00:37:58.119 --> 00:37:59.719
<v Speaker 12>senior year, and then it got to the point where

780
00:37:59.719 --> 00:38:02.559
<v Speaker 12>I'm okay, I'm gonna be on a college campus somewhere

781
00:38:03.199 --> 00:38:05.960
<v Speaker 12>next year. I gotta start getting some things figured out.

782
00:38:06.039 --> 00:38:10.079
<v Speaker 12>So I decided not to play basketball and devote all

783
00:38:10.119 --> 00:38:12.320
<v Speaker 12>my time to baseball and to try to have the

784
00:38:12.360 --> 00:38:13.599
<v Speaker 12>best senior year I could.

785
00:38:13.800 --> 00:38:16.360
<v Speaker 10>And you know, everything worked out.

786
00:38:16.920 --> 00:38:19.760
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I did, no doubt a great career for Kevin Kiirmeier.

787
00:38:19.840 --> 00:38:22.519
<v Speaker 6>But when you talk about not being scouted, going to

788
00:38:22.599 --> 00:38:25.800
<v Speaker 6>a junior college, and then being drafted, do you feel

789
00:38:25.800 --> 00:38:28.880
<v Speaker 6>like you've played with a chip on your shoulder, Maybe

790
00:38:28.920 --> 00:38:30.639
<v Speaker 6>not in a bad way, but in a good way.

791
00:38:30.840 --> 00:38:31.519
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, for sure.

792
00:38:32.159 --> 00:38:34.920
<v Speaker 12>I was selected in the thirty first round. I was

793
00:38:34.920 --> 00:38:37.119
<v Speaker 12>a nine hundred and forty first pick overall in the

794
00:38:37.119 --> 00:38:40.719
<v Speaker 12>twenty ten draft, and for me, I was a little

795
00:38:40.800 --> 00:38:43.679
<v Speaker 12>upset with how late I went, but at the same time,

796
00:38:44.320 --> 00:38:46.400
<v Speaker 12>like you just said, it motivated me and all I

797
00:38:46.440 --> 00:38:48.599
<v Speaker 12>needed was an opportunity, and I said that from the

798
00:38:48.639 --> 00:38:51.920
<v Speaker 12>get go, and I knew I had to play good

799
00:38:52.000 --> 00:38:54.280
<v Speaker 12>quick and got off to a good start and rookie ball,

800
00:38:54.320 --> 00:38:56.679
<v Speaker 12>and then I feel like I solidified myself and showed

801
00:38:56.800 --> 00:38:59.199
<v Speaker 12>everyone the raised what I could do, and then they

802
00:38:59.199 --> 00:39:01.599
<v Speaker 12>gave me more leave and then made a steady climb

803
00:39:01.679 --> 00:39:04.280
<v Speaker 12>through the miners and and got to the big leagues

804
00:39:04.280 --> 00:39:05.599
<v Speaker 12>in thirteen for my debut.

805
00:39:05.679 --> 00:39:07.480
<v Speaker 10>So it's u and you know, here we are towards

806
00:39:07.480 --> 00:39:08.039
<v Speaker 10>the end of it. Now.

807
00:39:08.079 --> 00:39:10.159
<v Speaker 12>It's been a heck of a ride, but I will

808
00:39:10.159 --> 00:39:14.719
<v Speaker 12>always go back and just knowing, you know how hard

809
00:39:14.719 --> 00:39:17.320
<v Speaker 12>I worked and junior college, you get that opportunity and

810
00:39:17.440 --> 00:39:20.840
<v Speaker 12>throughout my whole career. Now I'm proud of what I accomplish,

811
00:39:20.920 --> 00:39:23.880
<v Speaker 12>and I look back and you know, being the nine

812
00:39:23.920 --> 00:39:26.360
<v Speaker 12>hundred and forty first pick, I'm very appreciative because I

813
00:39:26.360 --> 00:39:27.840
<v Speaker 12>feel like I had to do all the right things

814
00:39:27.880 --> 00:39:30.599
<v Speaker 12>to get where I am today and then some And

815
00:39:31.719 --> 00:39:33.719
<v Speaker 12>I've said here, I am proud, proud as can be

816
00:39:33.760 --> 00:39:36.360
<v Speaker 12>of what I accomplished being a late round pick and

817
00:39:37.239 --> 00:39:38.000
<v Speaker 12>defied the odds.

818
00:39:38.000 --> 00:39:40.639
<v Speaker 6>I guess when you're in the grind, you can't really

819
00:39:40.679 --> 00:39:43.639
<v Speaker 6>reflect on your accomplishments as a baseball player. But at

820
00:39:43.679 --> 00:39:46.480
<v Speaker 6>this stage of the of your career, even though you're

821
00:39:46.480 --> 00:39:48.559
<v Speaker 6>in a pennant race and you're going to the postseason

822
00:39:48.599 --> 00:39:51.519
<v Speaker 6>with the Dodgers, have you had more time to reflect

823
00:39:51.559 --> 00:39:53.519
<v Speaker 6>on the way your career has gone.

824
00:39:53.960 --> 00:39:55.360
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, this whole year has.

825
00:39:57.840 --> 00:39:59.519
<v Speaker 12>I feel like I've done a lot of reflecting and

826
00:39:59.639 --> 00:40:01.519
<v Speaker 12>just know and that you know, every time I go

827
00:40:01.559 --> 00:40:03.760
<v Speaker 12>to certain ballparks it's most likely going to be my

828
00:40:03.840 --> 00:40:07.920
<v Speaker 12>last time going there. So I've taken so many things

829
00:40:07.960 --> 00:40:11.000
<v Speaker 12>in and uh, just a lot of a lot of

830
00:40:11.039 --> 00:40:16.079
<v Speaker 12>memories replaying throughout this whole year, but thankful, grateful for

831
00:40:16.280 --> 00:40:18.280
<v Speaker 12>everything thrown my way, and I just I want to

832
00:40:18.320 --> 00:40:21.679
<v Speaker 12>have fun going out the best way I could. And

833
00:40:21.719 --> 00:40:24.400
<v Speaker 12>and I'm you know, with the perfect team, perfect organization

834
00:40:24.480 --> 00:40:27.760
<v Speaker 12>to to finish out the season strong and try to,

835
00:40:27.800 --> 00:40:31.440
<v Speaker 12>you know, make that that October postseason push and uh,

836
00:40:31.480 --> 00:40:34.280
<v Speaker 12>That's what it's all about. So yeah, a lot of

837
00:40:34.320 --> 00:40:37.360
<v Speaker 12>a lot of nostalgic fields throughout this whole year. But

838
00:40:37.400 --> 00:40:40.840
<v Speaker 12>once again, more than anything, just the appreciation and gratefulness

839
00:40:40.840 --> 00:40:43.880
<v Speaker 12>that I've had for everything that has come my way

840
00:40:43.960 --> 00:40:46.559
<v Speaker 12>has been my favorite part about my career.

841
00:40:46.960 --> 00:40:49.719
<v Speaker 6>Kevin Kiirmeier is our guest just in front of first

842
00:40:49.760 --> 00:40:52.800
<v Speaker 6>pitch between the Dodgers and Braves. Since you brought up

843
00:40:52.800 --> 00:40:56.360
<v Speaker 6>all these different ballparks that you feel a little nostalgic about,

844
00:40:56.559 --> 00:40:59.119
<v Speaker 6>are there some that you enjoyed playing center field in

845
00:40:59.239 --> 00:41:02.000
<v Speaker 6>more than others? And we you know, we always hear

846
00:41:02.039 --> 00:41:04.800
<v Speaker 6>about in field dirt, how about the warning tracks and

847
00:41:04.880 --> 00:41:07.159
<v Speaker 6>just the dimensions of some of these stadiums.

848
00:41:07.360 --> 00:41:12.199
<v Speaker 12>Yeah, there is different and unique in its own different way.

849
00:41:12.280 --> 00:41:14.639
<v Speaker 12>But for me, you know, I uh, you know, the

850
00:41:14.719 --> 00:41:18.599
<v Speaker 12>Rays obviously, I love playing at Tropicana Field, Uh, played

851
00:41:18.639 --> 00:41:24.800
<v Speaker 12>there more in anywhere. Roger Center awesome in Toronto as well.

852
00:41:24.920 --> 00:41:27.760
<v Speaker 12>I mean, I just I appreciate when when fans appreciate me,

853
00:41:27.840 --> 00:41:29.559
<v Speaker 12>especially at your home place, and even going out to

854
00:41:29.599 --> 00:41:33.159
<v Speaker 12>Dodger Stadium is amazing. That grass and that surface out there,

855
00:41:33.199 --> 00:41:37.840
<v Speaker 12>it's incredible and just how good it feels to play

856
00:41:37.840 --> 00:41:40.639
<v Speaker 12>out there is amazing, But I I like, I like

857
00:41:40.719 --> 00:41:43.199
<v Speaker 12>places where I can go make a play at the wall,

858
00:41:44.559 --> 00:41:46.800
<v Speaker 12>So any any place with like an eight football in

859
00:41:46.880 --> 00:41:49.000
<v Speaker 12>center field Baltimore, I love playing there.

860
00:41:49.039 --> 00:41:50.800
<v Speaker 10>I made some really good catches there over the years.

861
00:41:50.800 --> 00:41:54.639
<v Speaker 10>But uh, I liked. I like thinking I could run

862
00:41:54.679 --> 00:41:55.559
<v Speaker 10>them down anywhere.

863
00:41:55.679 --> 00:41:58.519
<v Speaker 12>So for me, that's kind of a tough question because

864
00:41:58.519 --> 00:42:03.039
<v Speaker 12>I enjoy playing everywhere. But for me just Detroit, Kansas City.

865
00:42:03.119 --> 00:42:05.159
<v Speaker 12>I like the big, the big outfields where I can

866
00:42:05.199 --> 00:42:07.159
<v Speaker 12>run around and show everybody what I can do. As

867
00:42:07.199 --> 00:42:09.360
<v Speaker 12>I've gotten older, I appreciate the smaller ones a little

868
00:42:09.400 --> 00:42:09.800
<v Speaker 12>bit more.

869
00:42:11.360 --> 00:42:13.159
<v Speaker 10>But you know, I love going out there.

870
00:42:13.239 --> 00:42:15.840
<v Speaker 12>Making plays in defense has been what I've been best

871
00:42:15.880 --> 00:42:17.719
<v Speaker 12>at throughout my whole career, not even close.

872
00:42:17.760 --> 00:42:20.840
<v Speaker 10>And I like making plays no matter where I'm playing.

873
00:42:21.039 --> 00:42:24.320
<v Speaker 6>Kevin, I feel like your validation for another center fielder

874
00:42:24.719 --> 00:42:27.760
<v Speaker 6>means a lot. Are there other center fielders in the

875
00:42:27.760 --> 00:42:30.519
<v Speaker 6>game right now that you are impressed by the way

876
00:42:30.559 --> 00:42:31.840
<v Speaker 6>they handle center field?

877
00:42:33.280 --> 00:42:35.679
<v Speaker 10>Yeah? The first thing that comes to mind is Pete

878
00:42:35.760 --> 00:42:36.480
<v Speaker 10>crow Armstrong.

879
00:42:36.519 --> 00:42:38.559
<v Speaker 12>We just we just saw him with the Cubs and

880
00:42:38.840 --> 00:42:41.039
<v Speaker 12>I knew he was good, but watching him in person,

881
00:42:42.599 --> 00:42:46.039
<v Speaker 12>he's elite and he's he's gonna be elite for years

882
00:42:46.079 --> 00:42:49.360
<v Speaker 12>to come. He he's impressed me. A ton Byron Buxton

883
00:42:49.400 --> 00:42:54.280
<v Speaker 12>when he's healthy, is very special out there. But Pete

884
00:42:54.320 --> 00:42:56.519
<v Speaker 12>Kroh Armstrong, I mean, he put on a show against

885
00:42:56.599 --> 00:42:59.480
<v Speaker 12>us this past week, and me and all the other

886
00:42:59.519 --> 00:43:01.440
<v Speaker 12>guys had tip our hats to him because he was

887
00:43:01.559 --> 00:43:04.800
<v Speaker 12>he was special out there. And I I always appreciate

888
00:43:04.840 --> 00:43:06.440
<v Speaker 12>good defense, whether you're on my team or not.

889
00:43:06.880 --> 00:43:10.400
<v Speaker 6>When you're special as an elite defender like yourself, it's

890
00:43:10.440 --> 00:43:12.400
<v Speaker 6>got to be a compliment. When a guy like pie

891
00:43:12.440 --> 00:43:16.039
<v Speaker 6>Crow Armstrong, he's compared to Kevin Kiermeyer. People are saying

892
00:43:16.159 --> 00:43:18.599
<v Speaker 6>that was a Cure Myer type of play or plays

893
00:43:18.639 --> 00:43:19.840
<v Speaker 6>that he made in that series.

894
00:43:20.199 --> 00:43:23.400
<v Speaker 12>Yeah, you know, just thankful that my name is even

895
00:43:23.960 --> 00:43:27.280
<v Speaker 12>you know, thrown to to be in the uppression lot

896
00:43:27.360 --> 00:43:31.000
<v Speaker 12>of centerfielder type of guys out there. But uh, you know,

906
00:43:55.920 --> 00:43:58.639
<v Speaker 12>and he's one of the best center fields I've seen

907
00:43:58.679 --> 00:43:59.679
<v Speaker 12>in person in a long time.

908

966
00:46:54.119 --> 00:46:58.239

967
00:46:58.280 --> 00:47:00.679
<v Speaker 2>A little bit more than that May twenty six, twenty nineteen,

968
00:47:00.960 --> 00:47:02.840
<v Speaker 2>when he was with the salo As Cardinals. He went

994
00:48:19.159 --> 00:48:22.880
<v Speaker 4>pitch here at Truest Park in Atlanta. Overcast skies, some

995
00:48:23.039 --> 00:48:25.960
<v Speaker 4>weather in the area. Hopefully it will hold off and

996
00:48:26.079 --> 00:48:28.599
<v Speaker 4>this game will be played without delay. We'll see Jack

<v Speaker 4>Flaherty on the hill for the Dodgers twelve and six

998
00:48:31.079 --> 00:48:34.719
<v Speaker 4>overall five and one since joining the Dodgers with an

999
00:48:34.760 --> 00:48:37.519
<v Speaker 4>ERA of two to sixty one. He will oppose left

1000
00:48:37.519 --> 00:48:40.599
<v Speaker 4>handed Chris Sale. Saale making a bid for the Cy

1001
00:48:40.679 --> 00:48:43.039
<v Speaker 4>Young Award in the National League, also the Triple Crown.

1002
00:48:43.119 --> 00:48:46.960
<v Speaker 4>He leads in two of the three categories in terms

1003
00:48:47.000 --> 00:48:49.760
<v Speaker 4>of wins, in terms of ERA, and he's second in

1004
00:48:49.760 --> 00:48:53.239
<v Speaker 4>strikeouts right now, so Chris Sale has really had an

1005
00:48:53.280 --> 00:48:55.519
<v Speaker 4>incredible bounce back year now that he's.

1006
00:48:55.360 --> 00:48:59.039
<v Speaker 5>A brave Yeah, he's had just a remarkable season. One

1007
00:48:59.079 --> 00:49:00.960
<v Speaker 5>of the things that de look four for Sale they

1008
00:49:01.000 --> 00:49:02.920
<v Speaker 5>had a no decision his last outing. That was on

1009
00:49:03.000 --> 00:49:05.800
<v Speaker 5>Sunday against Toronto, where threw one hundred and thirteen pitches.

1010
00:49:06.000 --> 00:49:08.480
<v Speaker 5>The reason I bring that up he's had a slight

1011
00:49:08.639 --> 00:49:11.239
<v Speaker 5>drop in velocity if you look at a couple of

1012
00:49:11.239 --> 00:49:13.760
<v Speaker 5>starts in he's hands so far in the month of August.

1013
00:49:13.960 --> 00:49:16.559
<v Speaker 5>Is that a sign to look at Don't really know,

1014
00:49:16.679 --> 00:49:19.440
<v Speaker 5>but it caught the attention to someone to basically put

1015
00:49:19.440 --> 00:49:21.639
<v Speaker 5>it in pen and paper and put it out there

1016
00:49:21.800 --> 00:49:24.440
<v Speaker 5>for people to understand something we'll be watching as this

1017
00:49:24.519 --> 00:49:27.000
<v Speaker 5>game goes along. The other part, too, is you're a

1018
00:49:27.039 --> 00:49:30.519
<v Speaker 5>hitter against Chris Sale, get ready for a lot of sliders.

1019
00:49:30.559 --> 00:49:33.320
<v Speaker 5>And it's not your ordinary dime store slider either.

1020
00:49:33.360 --> 00:49:35.079
<v Speaker 4>It's a good one and the delivery is a little

1021
00:49:35.079 --> 00:49:37.119
<v Speaker 4>bit different. I asked a few hitters in the past

1022
00:49:37.119 --> 00:49:39.280
<v Speaker 4>what it's like to face Sale. They said, it's like

1023
00:49:39.320 --> 00:49:41.719
<v Speaker 4>the first basement's throwing the pitch. I mean, he comes

1024
00:49:41.719 --> 00:49:45.880
<v Speaker 4>from Laredo and the slider and the fastball are almost

1025
00:49:45.880 --> 00:49:47.679
<v Speaker 4>indiscernible when they come out of the hand.

1026
00:49:47.719 --> 00:49:49.800
<v Speaker 5>Initial yeah, I asked a hitter. I said, what's more

1027
00:49:49.880 --> 00:49:52.960
<v Speaker 5>uncomfortable facing Sale or hitting your finger with a hammer

1028
00:49:53.000 --> 00:49:56.159
<v Speaker 5>on purpose? He goes, well, maybe hitting your finger well.

1029
00:49:56.239 --> 00:49:59.760
<v Speaker 4>Sale sixteen and three against Jack Flaherty twelve and six.

1030
00:50:00.039 --> 00:50:03.559
<v Speaker 4>Rific pitching matchup here in Atlanta. First pitch just around

1031
00:50:03.559 --> 00:50:05.960
<v Speaker 4>the corner. Dodgers Braves Game two Jim.

1032
00:50:06.159 --> 00:50:08.960
<v Speaker 3>Should be a good one. Great pitching matchup coming up.
