Well, the Dodgers split the first two 24 00:01:14.319 --> 00:01:17.359 games in Philadelphia, So yesterday the rubber game of the 25 00:01:17.400 --> 00:01:20.799 three game series at Citizens Bank Park, the Dodgers taken 26 00:01:20.879 --> 00:01:22.879 on the fight and fills and the Dodgers got off 27 00:01:22.920 --> 00:01:24.519 to a great start, so. 28 00:01:24.719 --> 00:01:27.400 Changing the pitching plan for the Dodgers. It is ty Oscar. 29 00:01:27.519 --> 00:01:29.599 It's said in the air to right and deep. It's 30 00:01:29.640 --> 00:01:31.079 carrying back toward the wall. 31 00:01:31.239 --> 00:01:31.719 It's gone. 32 00:01:31.799 --> 00:01:32.760 It's a home run. 33 00:01:33.480 --> 00:01:37.959 Taioscar Hernandez with a two out, two run homer, and 34 00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:42.599 the Dodgers jump on top two nothing all right, just 35 00:01:42.760 --> 00:01:43.799 enough backspin on it. 36 00:01:43.799 --> 00:01:46.000 It carried out over the right field wall. 37 00:01:46.200 --> 00:01:48.920 Casianos when he was going back, thought he had a 38 00:01:48.959 --> 00:01:50.760 bid to get to it, but it just kept on 39 00:01:50.920 --> 00:01:54.719 carrying over his head and Taioscar Hernandez has his third 40 00:01:54.760 --> 00:01:55.879 home run of the season. 41 00:01:56.079 --> 00:01:58.159 Ta Oscar a two run home run at the top 42 00:01:58.200 --> 00:02:00.760 of the first Just like that. Rogers add a two 43 00:02:00.760 --> 00:02:03.519 to nothing lead, but in the bottom of the third inning, 44 00:02:03.560 --> 00:02:07.159 things fell off for Tyler Glasnow, who walked the first 45 00:02:07.200 --> 00:02:10.360 three batters. He faced a blop single from Bryce Harper 46 00:02:10.400 --> 00:02:13.280 brought in a run, then he walked the bases loaded again. 47 00:02:13.639 --> 00:02:15.719 He would lead with nobody out in the third. The 48 00:02:15.879 --> 00:02:19.360 rain was bothering him mentally. He could not get over 49 00:02:19.599 --> 00:02:22.159 the conditions on the mound. Turned it over to Alex Vesia, 50 00:02:22.280 --> 00:02:24.560 who gave up a grand slam on the first pitch 51 00:02:24.599 --> 00:02:28.800 he threw to Nick Castianos. A six run third inning 52 00:02:29.560 --> 00:02:31.560 by the Phillies. They were up six to two, but 53 00:02:31.639 --> 00:02:34.639 the Dodgers chipped away. Ta Oscar a solo home run 54 00:02:34.639 --> 00:02:37.560 in the fourth made it six to three. Taoscar Hernandez 55 00:02:37.560 --> 00:02:39.599 an RBI double in the fifth made it six to four. 56 00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:43.039 Tay Oscar doing everything. In the seventh, somebody besides ta Oscar. 57 00:02:43.240 --> 00:02:45.360 It was Mookie Betts with an RBI double made it 58 00:02:45.400 --> 00:02:47.680 six to five, and then ta Oscar again with a 59 00:02:47.759 --> 00:02:51.759 sack fly tied six to six, and still the Dodgers 60 00:02:51.759 --> 00:02:53.280 weren't done. Up came Will Smith. 61 00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:56.599 Dodgers went up two nothing, went down six to two. 62 00:02:56.759 --> 00:03:02.879 Castianos for the third inning grands lamb and this one 63 00:03:02.919 --> 00:03:04.479 has hit high in the air to right field in 64 00:03:04.520 --> 00:03:06.199 deep Castiano's drifting back. 65 00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:09.280 He's at the wall and is off the wall. Bets 66 00:03:09.319 --> 00:03:10.039 will score. 67 00:03:10.240 --> 00:03:13.360 Dodgers will take the lead on a two out run 68 00:03:13.400 --> 00:03:17.960 scoring double for Will Smith. It is seven to six Dodgers. 69 00:03:17.759 --> 00:03:20.240 Will Smith giving the Dodgers a lead. They come all 70 00:03:20.280 --> 00:03:22.960 the way back from at six to deficit a three 71 00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:26.680 run seventh innian off the Phillies bullpen. Dodgers up seven 72 00:03:26.759 --> 00:03:29.120 to six going to the bottom of the seventh with 73 00:03:29.240 --> 00:03:31.759 Blake trinon on the mound. It started off with a 74 00:03:31.759 --> 00:03:35.120 misplay in center field from Andy Pajaz, a double for 75 00:03:35.199 --> 00:03:38.800 Bryce Harper, Then'll walk two batters later, RBI single a 76 00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:42.400 fielder's choice. Just like that, a seven to six Dodgers 77 00:03:42.479 --> 00:03:46.000 lead turned into an eight seven Phillies lead, and the 78 00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:48.400 Dodgers they'd go quietly in the eighth and ninth inning 79 00:03:48.400 --> 00:03:52.000 as the Phillies beat the Dodgers yesterday eight to seven. 80 00:03:52.080 --> 00:03:56.240 Blake trining against the loss. Taascar Hernandez three for three, 81 00:03:56.520 --> 00:04:00.680 a sackfly, an RBI double, two home runs five, but 82 00:04:00.919 --> 00:04:04.479 it wasn't enough. Dodgers dropped two of three in Philadelphia. 83 00:04:04.479 --> 00:04:07.280 They fall the nine and two on the year, and 84 00:04:07.319 --> 00:04:10.039 after visiting the White House today, they hope to come 85 00:04:10.080 --> 00:04:12.680 back with a win tonight at Nationals Parking. With more 86 00:04:12.840 --> 00:04:15.120 We head out to the Gallpit Motors Broadcast booth and 87 00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:18.319 say hello to Tim Neverett and Rick Monday. Guys, Tim, 88 00:04:18.360 --> 00:04:19.199 thank you very much. 89 00:04:19.240 --> 00:04:23.319 Overcast guys here in our nation's capital, temperatures are going 90 00:04:23.399 --> 00:04:26.959 to dip into the upper forties around game time. Are 91 00:04:27.000 --> 00:04:29.720 expecting a chili one here tonight in Washington, the first 92 00:04:30.040 --> 00:04:33.160 of three with the Nationals. The Dodgers have won eleven 93 00:04:33.199 --> 00:04:37.639 of the last thirteen against Washington, including four straight nine 94 00:04:37.639 --> 00:04:39.720 and two of the record for the Dodgers. The Nationals 95 00:04:39.720 --> 00:04:42.519 six and three, and they come off two straight wins 96 00:04:42.759 --> 00:04:46.399 by one run over the Arizona Diamondbacks. Dustin May gets 97 00:04:46.399 --> 00:04:48.399 the start for the Dodgers tonight. The right hand or 98 00:04:48.439 --> 00:04:50.720 No Decisions, hasn't given up an earn run this year. 99 00:04:51.079 --> 00:04:55.240 He'll face a former first round pick, Mackenzie Gore. Gore 100 00:04:55.319 --> 00:04:57.199 is zero to one. We left you with a two 101 00:04:57.279 --> 00:05:01.399 forty five earned run average all The Dodgers coming off 102 00:05:01.399 --> 00:05:04.120 their first series loss of the season, a hard fought 103 00:05:04.199 --> 00:05:08.480 series against Philadelphia, losing two out of three. Yesterday's game 104 00:05:08.600 --> 00:05:12.000 was certainly winnable at certain points, but it just goes 105 00:05:12.079 --> 00:05:13.879 to show you that in the game of baseball, one 106 00:05:13.920 --> 00:05:16.240 thing here, maybe another thing there can cost you a 107 00:05:16.279 --> 00:05:16.600 ball game. 108 00:05:16.639 --> 00:05:19.199 Yeah, and the Dodgers need to tighten things up. They 109 00:05:19.240 --> 00:05:22.240 did not play particularly well during the entire series, and 110 00:05:22.560 --> 00:05:25.199 I think series that's what ball clubs want to do. 111 00:05:25.279 --> 00:05:27.920 Go into a town, win the series. It'd be nice 112 00:05:27.959 --> 00:05:29.720 to be able to sweep. But if you win the 113 00:05:29.800 --> 00:05:31.920 series and you do it time after time after time, 114 00:05:31.959 --> 00:05:33.720 you're going to wind up on top of your division 115 00:05:34.079 --> 00:05:36.279 and go to postseason play. If you look at history 116 00:05:36.279 --> 00:05:39.759 of baseball, so the Dodgers start today percentage points behind 117 00:05:39.800 --> 00:05:42.800 the San Francisco Giants, so they're both in first place, 118 00:05:42.800 --> 00:05:45.079 and the Padres are hanging in. They're just a game 119 00:05:45.199 --> 00:05:48.639 or half a game out behind them. And for the Nationals, 120 00:05:48.639 --> 00:05:51.800 as you mentioned, they took that series against Arizona, they're 121 00:05:51.800 --> 00:05:53.680 trying to make a move. There are four games behind 122 00:05:53.720 --> 00:05:56.759 the Phillies in the Eastern Division. And if you look 123 00:05:56.800 --> 00:05:59.319 at the Nationals, you know they feel pretty good about 124 00:05:59.319 --> 00:06:01.800 a young ball club that has got some talent. They 125 00:06:01.879 --> 00:06:04.040 just have not been able to put it together consistently. 126 00:06:04.199 --> 00:06:06.560 Yeah, ball club. Couple of veterans though, and interesting to 127 00:06:06.560 --> 00:06:09.480 see Josh Bell back in their line. He has had 128 00:06:09.680 --> 00:06:11.800 quite a journey going from team to team to team 129 00:06:11.839 --> 00:06:15.319 and then back here in DC. The switch hitter. He's 130 00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:17.800 only hitting one thirty three though, but he's a power 131 00:06:17.879 --> 00:06:21.120 bat that certainly the Nationals are hoping that we'll have 132 00:06:21.199 --> 00:06:23.240 a turnaround season and a guy they're counting on. 133 00:06:23.480 --> 00:06:25.759 Yeah, and I think the Dodgers with that question, they'll 134 00:06:25.839 --> 00:06:29.360 be trying to get into the bullpen. Of the Nationals. 135 00:06:29.560 --> 00:06:31.079 You start to look at their bullpen, they've got a 136 00:06:31.160 --> 00:06:34.319 twenty two earned runs overall, so they're era out of 137 00:06:34.360 --> 00:06:37.000 the pen as they're coming in tonight almost six and 138 00:06:37.040 --> 00:06:40.079 a half runs. However, they have been better in the 139 00:06:40.160 --> 00:06:43.639 last seven games, so if you can get the bullpen, 140 00:06:43.680 --> 00:06:45.319 you got a pretty good chance. I think that's the 141 00:06:45.480 --> 00:06:48.120 success that most teams have anyway, if you can get 142 00:06:48.120 --> 00:06:50.199 to a bullpen early, better chance. 143 00:06:50.800 --> 00:06:53.720 Looking at Sho hal TONI will somebody in this series 144 00:06:53.800 --> 00:06:56.399 is going to pay. It's just it's a matter of numbers. 145 00:06:56.480 --> 00:06:59.199 Right now. He's not gone hitless in three straight games. 146 00:06:59.199 --> 00:07:01.120 He's over his last two games he's won for his 147 00:07:01.199 --> 00:07:04.399 last eleven, had only one hit in the Philadelphia series, 148 00:07:04.800 --> 00:07:07.639 struck out five times over the last three games, but 149 00:07:07.920 --> 00:07:11.079 he hasn't gone hitless in three straight games since last 150 00:07:11.160 --> 00:07:14.839 July twenty eight through the thirty first. It doesn't happen 151 00:07:15.040 --> 00:07:17.519 very often, and you gotta figure, Oh, Towney's going to 152 00:07:17.600 --> 00:07:18.480 come out of it here in DC. 153 00:07:18.720 --> 00:07:20.920 I was thinking about it last night actually on the 154 00:07:20.959 --> 00:07:24.680 train from Philadelphia here to Renation's Capital. I just in 155 00:07:24.759 --> 00:07:26.839 reflecting back on some of the advats that he had. 156 00:07:27.199 --> 00:07:29.360 I'm not certain he was picking the ball up out 157 00:07:29.399 --> 00:07:32.560 of the pitcher's hand as quickly or as well as 158 00:07:32.600 --> 00:07:35.120 he would like to have. And I say that because 159 00:07:35.600 --> 00:07:37.680 we don't see him late with a lot of swings, 160 00:07:37.720 --> 00:07:39.480 and they were moving the ball in on his hands, 161 00:07:39.480 --> 00:07:42.279 and he appeared to be late on more percentage of 162 00:07:42.319 --> 00:07:44.040 pitches than what I recall recently. 163 00:07:44.240 --> 00:07:46.439 Oh, expecting otwne to have a good night. He's leading 164 00:07:46.480 --> 00:07:50.240 off once again. He'll do that against McKenzie gore, who 165 00:07:50.319 --> 00:07:53.279 is zero to one. Dustin made no decisions. That's the 166 00:07:53.319 --> 00:07:55.920 pitching matchup. As we get you ready for Game one 167 00:07:56.079 --> 00:07:58.959 of this three game series in DC, Jim all right. 168 00:07:58.839 --> 00:08:00.560 Thank you guys as we count you down to first 169 00:08:00.600 --> 00:08:03.279 pitch on this Monday, Dodger fans get that game day 170 00:08:03.319 --> 00:08:06.839 meal on It's Shaky's Pizza Parlor.

Due to the Stilton COVID protocols 207 00:09:59.799 --> 00:10:02.480 out were in place. So today there were a lot 208 00:10:02.559 --> 00:10:05.200 of people at the press conference and at the meeting 209 00:10:05.240 --> 00:10:08.120 with President Trump, and it was a really special just 210 00:10:08.440 --> 00:10:11.039 Clayton Kersha had a really beautiful teach recognized with the 211 00:10:11.039 --> 00:10:14.720 twenty twenty fourteen the selflessness of that group and how 212 00:10:14.759 --> 00:10:17.679 they went out there and competed together and competed through 213 00:10:17.720 --> 00:10:22.799 injuries and different adversity. So he really broke down just 214 00:10:22.840 --> 00:10:25.360 kind of what it was like witnessing the twenty twenty 215 00:10:25.360 --> 00:10:28.799 four playoff run the World Series win from his perspective, 216 00:10:28.840 --> 00:10:31.320 and I thought that was really beautiful. And then they 217 00:10:31.320 --> 00:10:33.600 actually had to go into the Oval office, which is awesome. 218 00:10:33.639 --> 00:10:36.360 If you like watch all the different TV shows, Scandal 219 00:10:36.440 --> 00:10:38.399 things like that, it's pretty amazing to get to go 220 00:10:38.480 --> 00:10:39.399 into the Ohole office. 221 00:10:39.440 --> 00:10:41.519 I must say, Yeah, that is very cool. And they 222 00:10:41.559 --> 00:10:43.480 got to get ready and they had game tonight, the 223 00:10:43.519 --> 00:10:46.279 start of a three game series against the Washington Nationals. 224 00:10:46.320 --> 00:10:49.080 The lineup a little different with Mackenzie Gore the left 225 00:10:49.080 --> 00:10:52.039 hander out there, so no Andy Pa has in. 226 00:10:52.039 --> 00:10:54.879 The line of though yep, no Andy Pa has, So 227 00:10:54.919 --> 00:10:57.000 they've got Chris Taylor and left field, Tommy, I've been 228 00:10:57.080 --> 00:10:59.919 playing in center and Dave Roberts, when he was asked, 229 00:11:00.120 --> 00:11:03.200 is kind of why know Andy out there? He said 230 00:11:03.240 --> 00:11:05.320 he just wanted to give him a breather today, a 231 00:11:05.440 --> 00:11:07.759 day to have a mental and physical reset. 232 00:11:07.879 --> 00:11:08.200 Andy. 233 00:11:08.360 --> 00:11:10.559 It's been a tough start to the season for him, 234 00:11:10.600 --> 00:11:12.879 whether yes, we got the hit and yesterday's game, but 235 00:11:13.320 --> 00:11:15.559 just offensively things have been a little bit of a struggle. 236 00:11:15.639 --> 00:11:18.159 We've seen a few whether it's space running, defensive mid that, 237 00:11:18.440 --> 00:11:21.799 so giving him the day to just watch some baseball, 238 00:11:21.919 --> 00:11:24.879 to watch his teammates out there. Dave Roberts said that 239 00:11:24.960 --> 00:11:28.480 he expects Andy t back out there in center fields tomorrow, 240 00:11:29.600 --> 00:11:32.600 but just hoping that the young player, and you don't 241 00:11:32.639 --> 00:11:35.120 want these things to build up over time kind of 242 00:11:35.120 --> 00:11:37.200 mess with your confidence things like that. It's clear that 243 00:11:37.279 --> 00:11:40.600 after the game yesterday Andy was frustrated and was showing 244 00:11:40.679 --> 00:11:43.480 just kind of looking dejected here on the bench after 245 00:11:43.559 --> 00:11:46.440 the loss, and so allowing him some time just to 246 00:11:46.519 --> 00:11:49.519 have a mental reset to be ready to go tomorrow tonight. 247 00:11:49.639 --> 00:11:52.080 Dustin May on the Mount a little code read on 248 00:11:52.120 --> 00:11:52.519 the road. 249 00:11:53.600 --> 00:11:56.399 Yeah, and he's coming off of just his return to 250 00:11:56.440 --> 00:11:58.639 the big league mount and his laugh outings the start 251 00:11:58.679 --> 00:12:01.000 of the season, and he told us after the game 252 00:12:01.080 --> 00:12:03.879 that it just was a huge release, just like a 253 00:12:03.919 --> 00:12:06.559 weight lifted off of his shoulder. To finally be back 254 00:12:06.600 --> 00:12:09.559 out there. He felt really good. He's loved seeing how 255 00:12:09.559 --> 00:12:12.360 his stuff played just back at this level. So he's 256 00:12:12.399 --> 00:12:14.279 been in a really good spot that coaches and have 257 00:12:14.360 --> 00:12:17.519 been speaking so highly of him. And yes, he's got 258 00:12:17.519 --> 00:12:20.200 the big bloss these big stuff, but the movement he 259 00:12:20.200 --> 00:12:22.240 has in the ball, that command he has right now, 260 00:12:22.360 --> 00:12:24.679 that's what's been most impressive. So the hope is that 261 00:12:24.759 --> 00:12:27.399 he can continue that tonight because he has been off 262 00:12:27.399 --> 00:12:29.440 to a fantastic start and they're hoping to see him 263 00:12:29.519 --> 00:12:30.120 keep that going. 264 00:12:30.240 --> 00:12:32.080 Well, let's hope the Dodgers can get back on the 265 00:12:32.080 --> 00:12:34.679 winning track tonight there in our nation's capitol.

Dustin May 330 00:15:48.600 --> 00:15:51.919 mackenzie core the pitching matchup in this series opener, first 331 00:15:51.960 --> 00:15:53.399 pitch coming up at three forty five. 332 00:15:55.240 --> 00:15:57.679 Joining Tim Kats on Dodgers on Deck. 333 00:15:57.759 --> 00:15:59.519 I accept everybody for who they are. 334 00:15:59.639 --> 00:16:04.279 This is Dodger insider David Bassi or DV going to. 335 00:16:04.240 --> 00:16:07.080 The White House on any occasion, no matter who's president 336 00:16:07.120 --> 00:16:09.720 or not, it's a special thing. The Dodgers went there 337 00:16:09.759 --> 00:16:13.559 today and a very cool you got to go as well, DV. 338 00:16:14.759 --> 00:16:15.039 Yeah. 339 00:16:15.279 --> 00:16:18.360 First for me, Tim, because back in twenty twenty one 340 00:16:18.480 --> 00:16:22.399 when the Dodgers visited the White House and President Biden, 341 00:16:22.960 --> 00:16:25.279 I was not traveling with the team. If you remember, 342 00:16:25.320 --> 00:16:28.000 the country in the world was still coming out of COVID. 343 00:16:28.360 --> 00:16:31.120 I only started traveling with the team full time again 344 00:16:31.200 --> 00:16:33.799 in twenty twenty two after missing twenty and twenty one. 345 00:16:33.879 --> 00:16:38.360 But nonetheless, it was a great surreal experience just to 346 00:16:38.480 --> 00:16:41.879 see how you know, the media works on a day 347 00:16:41.919 --> 00:16:44.759 to day basis at the White House, to see the 348 00:16:44.799 --> 00:16:47.960 briefing room and how small it is On television it 349 00:16:48.000 --> 00:16:51.840 looks so much bigger and it's not. In fact, even 350 00:16:51.919 --> 00:16:54.759 Dodger players I got to go into the Oval office 351 00:16:55.440 --> 00:16:58.480 said that even is a lot smaller than it appears 352 00:16:58.559 --> 00:17:03.759 on TV. So really really cool experience for everybody. And 353 00:17:03.799 --> 00:17:06.839 even though I was not included with the team and 354 00:17:06.880 --> 00:17:09.799 the players, to go inside the rope, to be in 355 00:17:09.839 --> 00:17:12.000 the East Room, to be in the briefing room, to 356 00:17:12.039 --> 00:17:14.519 be on the grounds of the White House, you feel 357 00:17:14.599 --> 00:17:17.960 the enormity and the history of being there. 358 00:17:18.160 --> 00:17:18.839 That is very cool. 359 00:17:18.960 --> 00:17:21.440 David Trivan by fourth, There's one thing we like, its choices. 360 00:17:21.640 --> 00:17:23.359 Find yours of the four f one to fifty gas 361 00:17:23.440 --> 00:17:25.880 hybrid all electric tough. This march could only be called 362 00:17:26.000 --> 00:17:28.640 f one fifty. Clayton Kershaw, he spoke today at the 363 00:17:28.680 --> 00:17:30.720 White House day. But there's more Kershaw news. 364 00:17:31.799 --> 00:17:35.359 Yeah, a little baseball news for Clayton Kershaw who showed up. 365 00:17:35.400 --> 00:17:38.599 And by the way, tim as he spoke for the Dodgers, 366 00:17:38.920 --> 00:17:43.160 it was not supposed to be Kershaw. Originally, Freddie Freeman, 367 00:17:43.240 --> 00:17:47.400 the World Series MVP, was originally the player that was 368 00:17:47.440 --> 00:17:50.240 going to speak on behalf of the team. But as 369 00:17:50.279 --> 00:17:53.559 we know, Freddie unfortunately is not here. He's back on 370 00:17:53.599 --> 00:17:57.240 the injured list in LA with his bad right ankles. 371 00:17:57.279 --> 00:18:00.799 So Kershaw obviously the next obvious choice, and he did 372 00:18:00.799 --> 00:18:03.279 a great job. And something else about the White House 373 00:18:03.359 --> 00:18:06.359 I should mention Max Months. He told me he does 374 00:18:06.400 --> 00:18:08.839 not know how they do it, but the Oval office 375 00:18:09.279 --> 00:18:11.480 is the best smelling room he has ever been in. 376 00:18:11.559 --> 00:18:13.400 He's not sure how they do it, but he said 377 00:18:13.400 --> 00:18:17.279 it is smelling really good in there. Anyway, back to Kershaw, 378 00:18:17.319 --> 00:18:20.079 he was throwing a bullpen session after he went from 379 00:18:20.119 --> 00:18:22.839 his suit to uniform, and we all want to know 380 00:18:22.960 --> 00:18:25.799 what's the timeline, what's next? When's he coming back? 381 00:18:26.599 --> 00:18:31.920 Yeah, through another bullp in today. I'm pretty sure I'm 382 00:18:31.960 --> 00:18:34.440 gonna go and face some hitters on Thursday in Arizona. 383 00:18:35.279 --> 00:18:37.839 You know I did that last Thursday, face through two innings, 384 00:18:37.839 --> 00:18:40.359 so I'm kind of just gonna keep on that schedule. 385 00:18:41.279 --> 00:18:43.759 It's it's kind of a weird needle to thread because 386 00:18:44.400 --> 00:18:47.839 physically my arm is ready to go. You know, I'm ready, 387 00:18:48.799 --> 00:18:51.000 but my toe isn't all the way there yet. So 388 00:18:51.079 --> 00:18:54.720 it's just like, whenever my toe finally is strong enough 389 00:18:54.720 --> 00:18:56.480 to be out there, I want to be ready. So 390 00:18:56.519 --> 00:18:59.079 it's just kind of threading that needle as best I can. 391 00:18:59.160 --> 00:19:02.279 It's obviously a unique injury for pitching, unique injury for baseball, 392 00:19:02.319 --> 00:19:03.240 so there's not. 393 00:19:03.200 --> 00:19:05.200 A whole lot of precedent with it. So we're just. 394 00:19:05.200 --> 00:19:07.880 Kind of where whenever my toe is ready to go, 395 00:19:07.880 --> 00:19:08.599 I'll be ready to go. 396 00:19:09.960 --> 00:19:14.400 So last Thursday, kurshat through two innings to hitters in Arizona. 397 00:19:14.799 --> 00:19:17.160 He's going to do that again this week, and then 398 00:19:17.200 --> 00:19:20.000 from there he's probably going to have to go out 399 00:19:20.039 --> 00:19:23.680 on a rehab assignment once he's able to generate the 400 00:19:23.759 --> 00:19:27.200 velocity and feel good with that toe that he had 401 00:19:27.279 --> 00:19:30.559
