30
00:01:32.400 --> 00:01:34.799
<v Speaker 3>Starting the second with Max Munsey.

31
00:01:35.000 --> 00:01:38.079

<v Speaker 4>toward the wall of this god hold on number one

34
00:01:45.640 --> 00:01:48.599
<v Speaker 4>as Maxwell gets the swim Mis Solber hammer for the

35
00:01:48.640 --> 00:01:52.239
<v Speaker 4>first time this season, and the Dodgers on the board

36
00:01:52.319 --> 00:01:53.200
<v Speaker 4>won nothing.

37
00:01:54.120 --> 00:01:56.599
<v Speaker 3>Max Munsey with his first home run.

38
00:01:56.760 --> 00:01:59.480
<v Speaker 2>Max Hall goes deep four hundred and thirty three feet

39
00:01:59.519 --> 00:02:02.680
<v Speaker 2>in the dodge, just getting started. Mookie Betts then with

00:02:02.760 --> 00:02:05.359
<v Speaker 2>a two run single in the third. Andy Paie has

41
00:02:05.359 --> 00:02:08.360
<v Speaker 2>with an RBI single the third Dodgers up four to nothing.

42
00:02:08.879 --> 00:02:11.159
<v Speaker 2>After the Marlin Zone chipped away with a two run

43
00:02:11.159 --> 00:02:13.120
<v Speaker 2>home running the top of the fourth and then an

44
00:02:13.159 --> 00:02:15.400
<v Speaker 2>RBI double on the top of the six. Dodgers' lead

45
00:02:15.520 --> 00:02:18.159
<v Speaker 2>was just four to three when the bottom of the six,

46
00:02:18.400 --> 00:02:21.280
<v Speaker 2>Mookie Betts came up and extended the Dodgers.

47
00:02:21.080 --> 00:02:22.319
<v Speaker 5>Lead one to one.

48
00:02:22.360 --> 00:02:23.960
<v Speaker 4>And Mookie hits the ball high in the air in

49
00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:26.840
<v Speaker 4>a center field over toward left center and deep back.

50
00:02:26.879 --> 00:02:29.280
<v Speaker 6>It goes to the wall that's off the warning.

51
00:02:29.400 --> 00:02:33.199
<v Speaker 4>Tracking off the wall, Barnes around third, he scores. Here

52
00:02:33.240 --> 00:02:36.680
<v Speaker 4>comes Otani in the score Bets around second, and he

53
00:02:36.879 --> 00:02:39.479
<v Speaker 4>is into third with a two to half two run triple.

54
00:02:41.280 --> 00:02:42.360
<v Speaker 6>Well, how do you like that?

55
00:02:42.479 --> 00:02:48.319
<v Speaker 4>Mookie Bets makes it six to three, four runs batted

56
00:02:48.400 --> 00:02:51.120
<v Speaker 4>in this afternoon for Mookie Bets.

57
00:02:51.479 --> 00:02:55.159
<v Speaker 2>Have yourself a day, Mookie Bets. He goes two for

58
00:02:55.280 --> 00:02:57.919
<v Speaker 2>four of the triple four ribbies. The Dodgers would tack

59
00:02:58.000 --> 00:03:00.680
<v Speaker 2>on two more the very next batter, f Freeman a

60
00:03:00.719 --> 00:03:03.199
<v Speaker 2>two run home run to right center. Dodgers up eight

61
00:03:03.240 --> 00:03:05.520
<v Speaker 2>to three, and they just kept tacking on runs. Key

62
00:03:05.599 --> 00:03:08.639
<v Speaker 2>k Hernandez an RBI single in the seventh. Otani scored

63
00:03:08.719 --> 00:03:11.000
<v Speaker 2>on a wild pitch in the eight te Oscar Hernandez

64
00:03:11.039 --> 00:03:13.080
<v Speaker 2>hit a ground rule double, scoring Miguel Rojas.

65
00:03:13.080 --> 00:03:14.159
<v Speaker 3>In the eighth innings, Key.

66
00:03:14.120 --> 00:03:16.759
<v Speaker 2>K Hernandez again back at it with an RBI single

67
00:03:16.759 --> 00:03:19.599
<v Speaker 2>in the eighth. Dodgers go on and route the Marlins

68
00:03:19.879 --> 00:03:23.800
<v Speaker 2>twelve to seven to final Tony Gonslin his first win

69
00:03:23.960 --> 00:03:27.639
<v Speaker 2>in nearly two years. He goes six innings nine punchouts

70
00:03:27.680 --> 00:03:31.520
<v Speaker 2>for the victory. The Dodgers were on fire twelve runs

71
00:03:31.560 --> 00:03:34.520
<v Speaker 2>on seventeen hits. They scored thirty four runs in the

72
00:03:34.560 --> 00:03:38.159
<v Speaker 2>three game series against the Miami Marlins. Outside of losing

73
00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:41.240
<v Speaker 2>to Paul Skeins in the opener against the Pirates last Friday,

74
00:03:41.439 --> 00:03:43.680
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers then have won five in a row. They

75
00:03:43.719 --> 00:03:46.719
<v Speaker 2>go five to one on the homestand the Dodgers sit

76
00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:50.759
<v Speaker 2>at twenty one and ten on this season hottest team

77
00:03:50.840 --> 00:03:53.719
<v Speaker 2>in baseball. Their lead in the division now a game

78
00:03:53.759 --> 00:03:55.960
<v Speaker 2>and a half over the San Diego Padres. They're two

79
00:03:55.960 --> 00:03:58.360
<v Speaker 2>and a half games up on the Giants, who continue

80
00:03:58.400 --> 00:04:01.120
<v Speaker 2>to fade away, and their four games up on the

81
00:04:01.159 --> 00:04:04.039
<v Speaker 2>Arizona Diamondbacks in the NL West. So they'll see on

82
00:04:04.080 --> 00:04:06.479
<v Speaker 2>the back end of this ten game road trip. But

83
00:04:06.639 --> 00:04:10.199
<v Speaker 2>first things first. After a day off yesterday, Dodgers in

84
00:04:10.360 --> 00:04:13.039
<v Speaker 2>Atlanta to take on the Braves in the start of

85
00:04:13.080 --> 00:04:16.040
<v Speaker 2>a three game series. Yoshinobu Yamamoto on the mount in

86
00:04:16.079 --> 00:04:16.800
<v Speaker 2>the series.

87
00:04:16.519 --> 00:04:17.279
<v Speaker 3>Opener with more.

88
00:04:17.439 --> 00:04:19.879
<v Speaker 2>We head out to the Kalpin Motors broadcast booth as

89
00:04:19.920 --> 00:04:22.800
<v Speaker 2>we say good afternoon to Tim Neverett and Rick Monday.

90
00:04:22.839 --> 00:04:24.600
<v Speaker 6>Guys, Tim, thank you very much.

91
00:04:24.680 --> 00:04:28.240
<v Speaker 4>Pretty nice evening here in Atlanta, a little bit on

92
00:04:28.279 --> 00:04:31.519
<v Speaker 4>the breezy side, with the Dodgers and Braves getting set

93
00:04:31.600 --> 00:04:34.040
<v Speaker 4>for their first game of the three games set here

94
00:04:34.120 --> 00:04:37.720
<v Speaker 4>this weekend. Yoshanovo Yamamoto pitches tonight. He comes in with

95
00:04:37.759 --> 00:04:41.040
<v Speaker 4>the bench era in Major League Baseball for a starting

96
00:04:41.040 --> 00:04:44.160
<v Speaker 4>pitcher at one zero six, a three and two record,

97
00:04:44.439 --> 00:04:47.720
<v Speaker 4>and the right hander goes opposite Grant Holmes, the right

98
00:04:47.720 --> 00:04:50.920
<v Speaker 4>hander two and one and in the ra of four

99
00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:53.519
<v Speaker 4>and a half. Dodgers start the night in first place,

100
00:04:53.600 --> 00:04:57.839
<v Speaker 4>game and a half up. Twenty one and ten is

101
00:04:57.879 --> 00:05:00.519
<v Speaker 4>the overall record. Meantime, the Braves, we've been laying much

102
00:05:00.519 --> 00:05:04.600
<v Speaker 4>better lately, are fourteen and sixteen, and they are in

103
00:05:04.680 --> 00:05:07.959
<v Speaker 4>third place in the National League East, six games off

104
00:05:08.000 --> 00:05:10.560
<v Speaker 4>the pace, and mo it'll be another night without Tommy

105
00:05:10.680 --> 00:05:13.319
<v Speaker 4>Edmund in the lineup, still nursing a tweaked ankle.

106
00:05:13.879 --> 00:05:16.560
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, And Dave Robertson said, hey, look, there's nothing to

107
00:05:16.600 --> 00:05:19.920
<v Speaker 7>be overly concerned about. And Dave was saying before is look,

108
00:05:19.959 --> 00:05:22.240
<v Speaker 7>if he's started the lineup Friday in Atlanta, Well, here

109
00:05:22.240 --> 00:05:24.199
<v Speaker 7>we are on Friday in Atlanta. He would be in

110
00:05:24.279 --> 00:05:28.480
<v Speaker 7>the lineup on Saturday. So I'm not overly concerned with it.

111
00:05:28.680 --> 00:05:32.279
<v Speaker 7>In the meantime, it allows really Miguel Rojas to start

112
00:05:32.319 --> 00:05:35.560
<v Speaker 7>at second base today, and as we've been saying really

113
00:05:35.560 --> 00:05:39.120
<v Speaker 7>the last few days, the bottom part offensively of this

114
00:05:39.199 --> 00:05:42.560
<v Speaker 7>Dodger lineup now beginning to catch fire. Of course, Max

115
00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:45.560
<v Speaker 7>Munsey hit his first home run of the season. That'say

116
00:05:45.560 --> 00:05:48.279
<v Speaker 7>pausive sight. And he PAHs is batting in the seventh spot.

117
00:05:48.560 --> 00:05:51.879
<v Speaker 7>He has an eighth game hitting street going Taskar Hernanez

118
00:05:51.920 --> 00:05:54.360
<v Speaker 7>has hit a nine in a row. Freddie Freeman, returning

119
00:05:54.399 --> 00:05:56.959
<v Speaker 7>to Atlanta, is hitting sixth straight. So we're seeing really

120
00:05:56.959 --> 00:06:00.000
<v Speaker 7>a lot of different balance and better balance off.

121
00:06:00.639 --> 00:06:03.680
<v Speaker 4>Dodgers have won five straight and during that time, winning

122
00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:07.879
<v Speaker 4>two against Pittsburgh three against Miami. They outscored those two teams.

123
00:06:08.040 --> 00:06:09.240
<v Speaker 6>By thirty runs.

124
00:06:09.279 --> 00:06:11.680
<v Speaker 4>Fifty one to twenty one during that stretch, and as

125
00:06:11.680 --> 00:06:15.160
<v Speaker 4>a team hit three eighty three, walking more times than

126
00:06:15.160 --> 00:06:15.759
<v Speaker 4>they struck out.

127
00:06:15.839 --> 00:06:17.759
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, they're having some very good approaches.

128
00:06:17.800 --> 00:06:20.519
<v Speaker 7>The other part, too, is this is a different Atlanta

129
00:06:20.600 --> 00:06:22.839
<v Speaker 7>Braves team than what the Dodgers saw in the early

130
00:06:22.879 --> 00:06:25.759
<v Speaker 7>part of April. Why well, they won seven of ten.

131
00:06:26.199 --> 00:06:29.240
<v Speaker 7>They're not only hitting better, but once they get to

132
00:06:29.240 --> 00:06:31.920
<v Speaker 7>the bullpen, you know they're bullpen. The last seven games

133
00:06:32.519 --> 00:06:35.959
<v Speaker 7>has an ERA of just one seventy one. They've been

134
00:06:35.959 --> 00:06:39.600
<v Speaker 7>able to shut down opposing teams, besides beginning now to

135
00:06:39.680 --> 00:06:40.759
<v Speaker 7>score some runs.

136
00:06:41.720 --> 00:06:46.000
<v Speaker 4>One thing offensively about the Braves. Former Dodger Alex Verdugo

137
00:06:46.279 --> 00:06:49.480
<v Speaker 4>is now the starting left fielder and leadoff hitter, and

138
00:06:49.519 --> 00:06:51.560
<v Speaker 4>in the ten games he's played in for the Braves,

139
00:06:51.600 --> 00:06:52.199
<v Speaker 4>the Braves are.

140
00:06:52.120 --> 00:06:52.600
<v Speaker 5>Eight and two.

141
00:06:52.720 --> 00:06:55.240
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, isn't it amazing when a player gets cut from

142
00:06:55.279 --> 00:06:58.040
<v Speaker 7>one team they signed him to minor league contract, they

143
00:06:58.079 --> 00:07:00.199
<v Speaker 7>call him up and say, where's this guy been? All

144
00:07:00.199 --> 00:07:02.120
<v Speaker 7>of a sudden, he jumps on top of it. And

145
00:07:02.199 --> 00:07:05.199
<v Speaker 7>Atlanta has some guys too, swinging the band successionally well,

146
00:07:05.399 --> 00:07:07.480
<v Speaker 7>and especially two. You look at this road trip. You

147
00:07:07.519 --> 00:07:10.399
<v Speaker 7>know they went to Colorado in Arizona. They won four

148
00:07:10.480 --> 00:07:14.360
<v Speaker 7>of the six games, and for Brian Snecker's ball club,

149
00:07:14.720 --> 00:07:17.439
<v Speaker 7>they're beginning to feel very good about themselves. They're trying

150
00:07:17.439 --> 00:07:19.639
<v Speaker 7>to get back to five hundreds, still two games below,

151
00:07:19.720 --> 00:07:21.839
<v Speaker 7>but they seem to be on an upswing.

152
00:07:21.639 --> 00:07:25.040
<v Speaker 4>Again, winning seven of the last ten. The Braves showing

153

00:10:31.440 --> 00:10:35.039
<v Speaker 2>deep for the first time this season, a lot of

215
00:10:35.039 --> 00:10:37.639
<v Speaker 2>pressure off of his shoulders, and afterwards talked to David

216

<v Speaker 2>Vasse in the media.

217
00:10:38.840 --> 00:10:41.639
<v Speaker 8>Max, it looked like ta Oscar Hernandez didn't just give

218
00:10:41.679 --> 00:10:42.840
<v Speaker 8>you a handful of seats.

219
00:10:42.879 --> 00:10:44.279
<v Speaker 6>He gave you the whole bag today.

220
00:10:44.639 --> 00:10:45.240
<v Speaker 5>Yeah he did.

221
00:10:45.240 --> 00:10:50.159
<v Speaker 9>He got me pretty good and I felt really good

222
00:10:50.399 --> 00:10:51.080
<v Speaker 9>to have that happen.

223
00:10:51.159 --> 00:10:53.679
<v Speaker 6>And you know, I just hope that today something you

224
00:10:53.679 --> 00:10:54.120
<v Speaker 6>can go down.

225
00:10:54.480 --> 00:10:56.480
<v Speaker 8>Did you feel like on this homestand you were getting

226
00:10:56.519 --> 00:10:58.159
<v Speaker 8>closer to hitting your first home run?

227
00:10:58.240 --> 00:10:59.519
<v Speaker 6>Did you feel better at the plate?

228
00:11:01.360 --> 00:11:02.799
<v Speaker 9>I don't know about home run, but just you know,

229
00:11:03.159 --> 00:11:05.440
<v Speaker 9>the swing keeps feeling like it's getting closer and closer.

230
00:11:05.879 --> 00:11:06.919
<v Speaker 6>I still have to clean something.

231
00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:11.600
<v Speaker 9>You know, it's a work in progress, and like I said,

232
00:11:11.600 --> 00:11:12.879
<v Speaker 9>today is the day you hope you can just build

233
00:11:12.919 --> 00:11:14.440
<v Speaker 9>upon and you know, you just keep moving forward.

234
00:11:14.600 --> 00:11:16.519
<v Speaker 8>Did you have a moment in the cage where you

235
00:11:16.600 --> 00:11:19.759
<v Speaker 8>found something we haven't noticed really the step back yet?

236
00:11:20.039 --> 00:11:21.840
<v Speaker 6>What have you worked on it?

237
00:11:22.039 --> 00:11:25.000
<v Speaker 9>Just you know, we keep rewatching my bats and rewatching

238
00:11:25.000 --> 00:11:27.639
<v Speaker 9>the swings, and you know, the abbat quality has been good.

239
00:11:27.679 --> 00:11:28.919
<v Speaker 6>It's just getting the ball to go.

240
00:11:28.919 --> 00:11:31.679
<v Speaker 9>Forward and you know, trying to figure out why it's

241
00:11:31.679 --> 00:11:32.240
<v Speaker 9>not going forward.

242
00:11:32.279 --> 00:11:33.720
<v Speaker 6>And so you just tinker with a little.

243
00:11:33.480 --> 00:11:35.399
<v Speaker 9>Mechanics here and there, and you just feel keep getting

244
00:11:35.440 --> 00:11:38.080
<v Speaker 9>closer and closer, but you know, we still got ways

245
00:11:38.120 --> 00:11:38.240
<v Speaker 9>to go.

246
00:11:38.879 --> 00:11:40.919
<v Speaker 8>So you felt like you were fouling pitches off that

247
00:11:41.000 --> 00:11:43.320
<v Speaker 8>you should have hit. Yeah, it's been that way for

248
00:11:43.360 --> 00:11:45.519
<v Speaker 8>about a week or two. And you know, like I said,

249
00:11:45.559 --> 00:11:46.919
<v Speaker 8>I felt really comfortable in the box.

250
00:11:46.919 --> 00:11:48.679
<v Speaker 9>There's still just one or two things that are just

251
00:11:49.039 --> 00:11:51.639
<v Speaker 9>a little bit off. And you know, today was a

252
00:11:51.679 --> 00:11:53.879
<v Speaker 9>lot closer. Obviously the ball went forward today, so that

253
00:11:53.919 --> 00:11:56.440
<v Speaker 9>was a good thing. And you know, it's like I said,

254
00:11:56.480 --> 00:11:58.360
<v Speaker 9>the abbat quality has been good, it's just getting the

255
00:11:58.360 --> 00:11:59.200
<v Speaker 9>ball to move forward.

256
00:11:59.440 --> 00:12:01.960
<v Speaker 10>How much of a grind has this one been for you?

257
00:12:02.039 --> 00:12:02.360
<v Speaker 5>Mentally?

258
00:12:02.519 --> 00:12:03.000
<v Speaker 6>Especially?

259
00:12:03.600 --> 00:12:08.000
<v Speaker 9>Not easy, not easy on me, not easy on my family.

260
00:12:10.320 --> 00:12:14.279
<v Speaker 9>You know, playing in la Is it's not easy. But

261
00:12:14.480 --> 00:12:15.960
<v Speaker 9>you know it's a it's a privilege and it's a

262
00:12:15.960 --> 00:12:18.480
<v Speaker 9>privilege to play under this pressure and it's uh you know,

263
00:12:18.679 --> 00:12:21.120
<v Speaker 9>something that I've always throbbed upon. But it doesn't mean

264
00:12:21.120 --> 00:12:23.440
<v Speaker 9>that it's easy. And you know, for me and my

265
00:12:23.480 --> 00:12:24.840
<v Speaker 9>family it's been it's been a rough month.

266
00:12:25.080 --> 00:12:26.399
<v Speaker 5>The greeting you've got, the dug out.

267
00:12:26.440 --> 00:12:28.240
<v Speaker 8>How nice is it that they're kind of invested in

268
00:12:28.279 --> 00:12:29.200
<v Speaker 8>your success as well?

269
00:12:29.240 --> 00:12:29.399
<v Speaker 1>Here?

270
00:12:29.559 --> 00:12:33.279
<v Speaker 9>It was huge for me, almost a little emotional, but uh,

271
00:12:33.480 --> 00:12:35.600
<v Speaker 9>you know, this clubhouse is very tight, it's very close.

272
00:12:36.200 --> 00:12:37.960
<v Speaker 9>Everyone cares about each other here. We all just want

273
00:12:37.960 --> 00:12:40.279
<v Speaker 9>to win, and for us to win, everyone needs to

274
00:12:40.320 --> 00:12:43.039
<v Speaker 9>be clicking. And that's something that you know, this this

275
00:12:43.080 --> 00:12:45.799
<v Speaker 9>whole clubhouse bies into and just to get that kind

276
00:12:45.799 --> 00:12:47.200
<v Speaker 9>of greeting it felt.

277
00:12:47.039 --> 00:12:49.600
<v Speaker 6>Amazing after these many games.

278
00:12:49.639 --> 00:12:51.720
<v Speaker 8>Would you what would you have thought if we told

279
00:12:51.759 --> 00:12:53.320
<v Speaker 8>you you would have had the same amount of home

280
00:12:53.399 --> 00:12:54.600
<v Speaker 8>runs as triples?

281
00:12:57.600 --> 00:12:58.480
<v Speaker 6>No response to that day?

282
00:13:00.919 --> 00:13:02.159
<v Speaker 3>All right, there's Max months.

283
00:13:02.200 --> 00:13:04.039
<v Speaker 2>He's certainly feeling a lot better now that he got

284
00:13:04.039 --> 00:13:06.399
<v Speaker 2>his first home run of the season, and hopefully that

285
00:13:06.519 --> 00:13:09.200
<v Speaker 2>gets some jump started here with the power. The rest

286
00:13:09.279 --> 00:13:11.360
<v Speaker 2>of twenty to twenty five still to come. Here on

00:14:10.840 --> 00:14:14.320
<v Speaker 2>the Los Angeles Dodgers. Well, the Dodgers have a plethora

306
00:14:14.399 --> 00:14:17.919
<v Speaker 2>of pitchers on the injured list. Tyler Glastow on the

307
00:14:17.960 --> 00:14:21.519
<v Speaker 2>IL with the shoulder inflammation. Blake trying it on the

308
00:14:21.559 --> 00:14:25.360
<v Speaker 2>sixty day IL now with the right form, tightness, Blake

309
00:14:25.480 --> 00:14:29.600
<v Speaker 2>Snell on the IL with the left shoulder soreness, Michael

310
00:14:29.679 --> 00:14:33.159
<v Speaker 2>Kopek he was extended to the sixty day IL with

311
00:14:33.240 --> 00:14:36.639
<v Speaker 2>the right shoulder impingement. Bruce Dark Gratorolt trying to work

312
00:14:36.679 --> 00:14:40.240
<v Speaker 2>his way back. Clayton Kershaw also on the sixty day IL.

313
00:14:40.279 --> 00:14:42.960
<v Speaker 2>He actually pitched in Triple A Oklahoma City just a

314
00:14:43.000 --> 00:14:45.840
<v Speaker 2>couple of days ago and in minor league rehabs. Star Remember,

315
00:14:46.200 --> 00:14:49.360
<v Speaker 2>he cannot be eligible to come off the IL until

316
00:14:49.440 --> 00:14:51.799
<v Speaker 2>the middle of May, so he's got a few more

317
00:14:51.840 --> 00:14:54.039
<v Speaker 2>weeks to go, but he is ramping up and that

318
00:14:54.120 --> 00:14:56.399
<v Speaker 2>is certainly good news and fingers crossed that he can

319
00:14:56.440 --> 00:14:59.440
<v Speaker 2>stay healthy in his return. All right, speaking of return,

320
00:14:59.559 --> 00:15:01.639
<v Speaker 2>let's return back out to Atlanta and check you with

321
00:15:01.639 --> 00:15:02.759
<v Speaker 2>the Dodger discover any.

322
00:15:04.559 --> 00:15:05.279
<v Speaker 6>Questions for Dave.

323
00:15:05.360 --> 00:15:07.440
<v Speaker 5>Dave? Can you just describe Dave?

324
00:15:07.519 --> 00:15:09.919
<v Speaker 6>Can you talk about the pressure in.

325
00:15:09.960 --> 00:15:13.399
<v Speaker 1>The dugouts with Dave Roberts.

326
00:15:13.639 --> 00:15:16.000
<v Speaker 8>Tommy Edmund not in the starting lineup again today. You

327
00:15:16.039 --> 00:15:19.159
<v Speaker 8>said on Wednesday that if he wasn't in the lineup today,

328
00:15:19.200 --> 00:15:22.440
<v Speaker 8>you were optimistic about tomorrow. Do you feel the same way.

329
00:15:24.919 --> 00:15:27.399
<v Speaker 11>He is gonna go take some grounders right now? As

330
00:15:27.399 --> 00:15:31.279
<v Speaker 11>I as I see look out, I think it's a

331
00:15:31.360 --> 00:15:36.120
<v Speaker 11>day to day thing. I don't want to put us

332
00:15:36.120 --> 00:15:40.440
<v Speaker 11>for him in a position where you know, there's much expectation.

333
00:15:40.679 --> 00:15:43.240
<v Speaker 11>I think that that's just being driven on how he's feeling.

334
00:15:43.360 --> 00:15:49.399
<v Speaker 11>So I don't even know his availability tonight. My expectation

335
00:15:50.559 --> 00:15:52.679
<v Speaker 11>is he'd be available off the bench to pinch hit.

336
00:15:53.679 --> 00:15:55.639
<v Speaker 11>But as far as starting tomorrow, I guess we'll see

337
00:15:55.679 --> 00:15:56.399
<v Speaker 11>how today goes.

338
00:15:57.279 --> 00:15:59.840
<v Speaker 6>At what point would it trigger a consideration for the I.

339
00:16:00.000 --> 00:16:08.600
<v Speaker 11>Well, I think you know, if there's a couple two,

340
00:16:08.759 --> 00:16:13.840
<v Speaker 11>three days that we don't feel he can start where

341
00:16:13.879 --> 00:16:19.720
<v Speaker 11>you're talking about three or four days, it just wouldn't

342
00:16:19.720 --> 00:16:22.399
<v Speaker 11>seem much of a cost. So I think that today

343
00:16:22.440 --> 00:16:26.000
<v Speaker 11>we'll be telling and fortunately, because of the position player,

344
00:16:26.120 --> 00:16:28.720
<v Speaker 11>it's only ten days versus the fifteen.

345
00:16:29.559 --> 00:16:33.200
<v Speaker 2>All right, there is Dave Roberts talking about Tommy Edmond

346
00:16:33.480 --> 00:16:35.799
<v Speaker 2>not in the lineup again today. We'll see what his

347
00:16:35.840 --> 00:16:38.559
<v Speaker 2>status is as far as the injured list is concerned.

348
00:16:38.559 --> 00:16:41.480
<v Speaker 2>That's Dave Roberts down the dugout pregame. When we continue here,

349
00:16:41.519 --> 00:16:43.240
<v Speaker 2>I'm wrong with Casino Dodgers on deck.

350
00:16:43.279 --> 00:16:44.000
<v Speaker 3>We will check in.

351
00:16:44.000 --> 00:16:47.080

368
00:17:47.000 --> 00:17:50.519
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers, looking to thunder with their way into Atlanta, continued

00:17:50.519 --> 00:17:54.240
<v Speaker 2>their five game winning streak after a five to one

370
00:17:54.359 --> 00:17:57.680
<v Speaker 2>homestand that saw them sweep the Marlins. Dodgers first place

373
00:18:03.240 --> 00:18:08.000
<v Speaker 1>Fifteen, joining Tim Kats on Dodgers on deck.

374
00:18:08.079 --> 00:18:09.839
<v Speaker 6>I accept everybody for who they are.

375
00:18:09.960 --> 00:18:14.200
<v Speaker 1>This is Dodger insider David Basse DV.

376
00:18:14.160 --> 00:18:16.920
<v Speaker 2>Now joins us from Truest Park in Atlanta, as did

377
00:18:17.000 --> 00:18:19.440
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers take on the Braves. And it's not the first

378
00:18:19.480 --> 00:18:21.319
<v Speaker 2>time he's back in Atlanta, DV.

379
00:18:21.559 --> 00:18:24.000
<v Speaker 3>But Freddy Freeman is back taking on his former team.

380
00:18:25.000 --> 00:18:27.440
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, and he told me after the game at Dodgers

381
00:18:27.480 --> 00:18:30.480
<v Speaker 8>Stadium that closed out that homestand that it's a different

382
00:18:30.519 --> 00:18:34.160
<v Speaker 8>feeling obviously coming back. And Freddie has done pretty well

383
00:18:34.200 --> 00:18:36.640
<v Speaker 8>here at Truest Park as a Dodger. He's nine for

384
00:18:36.759 --> 00:18:40.640
<v Speaker 8>twenty five with two doubles, a home run, and four RBIs.

385
00:18:40.680 --> 00:18:44.000
<v Speaker 8>He flew ahead on the player plane after the game

386
00:18:44.440 --> 00:18:47.559
<v Speaker 8>at Dodgers Stadium and had a full day here to

387
00:18:47.640 --> 00:18:50.519
<v Speaker 8>catch up with family and friends. He's got a lot

388
00:18:50.559 --> 00:18:52.880
<v Speaker 8>of them with him here back in Atlanta.

389
00:18:53.400 --> 00:18:55.880
<v Speaker 12>That's different obviously. Now I'm just excited. I got my

390
00:18:55.920 --> 00:18:56.599
<v Speaker 12>whole family there.

391
00:18:56.720 --> 00:18:57.319
<v Speaker 5>They've been there for a.

392
00:18:57.319 --> 00:19:00.359
<v Speaker 12>Couple of days, so obviously the same oldest brother who

393
00:19:00.400 --> 00:19:02.799
<v Speaker 12>lives there, my sister in law and brother in law

394
00:19:02.799 --> 00:19:04.039
<v Speaker 12>and their four kids, so I got a lot of

395
00:19:04.039 --> 00:19:06.119
<v Speaker 12>people going to be there. My dad's that, my mom, cousins,

396
00:19:06.279 --> 00:19:08.359
<v Speaker 12>aunt in law is They're all going to be there,

397
00:19:08.440 --> 00:19:11.480
<v Speaker 12>So no, I look forward to it. It's fun now.

398
00:19:11.920 --> 00:19:15.680
<v Speaker 12>It's good to see familiar faces. I do love playing

399
00:19:15.720 --> 00:19:18.039
<v Speaker 12>in that stadium. I got to play there a lot,

400
00:19:18.119 --> 00:19:21.000
<v Speaker 12>so I'm excited to go back and see everybody in play.

401
00:19:22.160 --> 00:19:24.480
<v Speaker 8>I remember the first year that Freddy came back here

402
00:19:24.519 --> 00:19:27.680
<v Speaker 8>in twenty twenty two, obviously emotional. He had an on

403
00:19:27.880 --> 00:19:31.319
<v Speaker 8>field interview before first pitch. He had a press conference.

404
00:19:31.759 --> 00:19:32.160
<v Speaker 6>Today.

405
00:19:32.200 --> 00:19:35.480
<v Speaker 8>Tim Hoham came out here to do his regular routine

406
00:19:35.480 --> 00:19:38.559
<v Speaker 8>with Chris Woodward. Nobody came around us say hi to

407
00:19:38.599 --> 00:19:41.759
<v Speaker 8>Freddie Freeman. There was no fanfare, so I'm sure again

408
00:19:42.200 --> 00:19:44.680
<v Speaker 8>he will have a loud ovation. This will be the

409
00:19:44.720 --> 00:19:47.799
<v Speaker 8>first time, by the way, Freddie Freeman comes back to

410
00:19:47.880 --> 00:19:50.400
<v Speaker 8>Atlanta as a World Series MVP.

411
00:19:50.839 --> 00:19:51.960
<v Speaker 3>David is driven by Ford.

412
00:19:51.960 --> 00:19:54.079
<v Speaker 2>If there's one thing we like, it's choices, fine yours

413
00:19:54.079 --> 00:19:56.400
<v Speaker 2>with the Ford F one to fifty gas hybrid all electric,

414
00:19:56.480 --> 00:19:58.519
<v Speaker 2>tough this mark, it can only be called the F

415
00:19:58.599 --> 00:20:02.039
<v Speaker 2>one fifty. Tommy Edmund didn't play in that last game

416
00:20:02.160 --> 00:20:05.160
<v Speaker 2>against the Marlins on Wednesday, David a little banged up.

417
00:20:05.160 --> 00:20:06.640
<v Speaker 3>What's the latest with Tommy Tanks.

418
00:20:07.519 --> 00:20:09.880
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, obviously not in the starting lineup today.

419
00:20:09.960 --> 00:20:13.400
<v Speaker 8>Dave Roberts said after the game against the Marlins the

420
00:20:13.440 --> 00:20:16.960
<v Speaker 8>series finale that he was hoping Tommy Edman would be

421
00:20:17.319 --> 00:20:19.400
<v Speaker 8>ready to go on the starting lineup tonight, but he

422
00:20:19.440 --> 00:20:22.400
<v Speaker 8>did kind of leave it open and did by saying

423
00:20:22.440 --> 00:20:25.000
<v Speaker 8>that if he's not in there tonight, that he certainly

424
00:20:25.000 --> 00:20:27.559
<v Speaker 8>would be in there tomorrow. Now there is a chance

425
00:20:27.599 --> 00:20:30.279
<v Speaker 8>of rain and the game being washed out tomorrow, So

426
00:20:30.319 --> 00:20:33.200
<v Speaker 8>if that was the case, that gives Tommy Edman another

427
00:20:33.319 --> 00:20:36.440
<v Speaker 8>extra day to get that soreness out of his right ankle.

428
00:20:36.480 --> 00:20:39.519
<v Speaker 8>I talked to Tommy at his locker after that serious

429
00:20:39.559 --> 00:20:42.880
<v Speaker 8>finale against the Marlins at Dodger Stadium, and he didn't

430
00:20:42.920 --> 00:20:45.400
<v Speaker 8>have any wrapping on it. He said he was fine

431
00:20:45.599 --> 00:20:49.039
<v Speaker 8>and certainly reassured me that this is not an injured

432
00:20:49.119 --> 00:20:53.160
<v Speaker 8>Liss situation. So he and the Dodgers certainly dodged a bullet.

433
00:20:53.279 --> 00:20:56.519
<v Speaker 8>We always talk about the Dodgers thinking big picture and

434
00:20:56.559 --> 00:21:00.119
<v Speaker 8>taking things extra slow because of how much talent they

435
00:21:00.119 --> 00:21:02.480
<v Speaker 8>have on this roster, not only with pitchers but with

436
00:21:02.519 --> 00:21:05.319
<v Speaker 8>position players. So that's the reason why I'm sure the

437
00:21:05.359 --> 00:21:07.359
<v Speaker 8>Dodgers are playing it's safe, David.

438
00:21:07.440 --> 00:21:10.000
<v Speaker 2>Last year we saw Showy Otanio run for a fifty

439
00:21:10.000 --> 00:21:12.960
<v Speaker 2>to fifty season, the fifty plus dole in bases. How

440
00:21:13.039 --> 00:21:15.599
<v Speaker 2>is he helping with base running well?

441
00:21:15.640 --> 00:21:17.920
<v Speaker 8>Being so close to the dugout, I've picked up on

442
00:21:18.000 --> 00:21:22.000
<v Speaker 8>a few different things. I picked up on how smart

443
00:21:22.039 --> 00:21:25.680
<v Speaker 8>Otani is and prepared Otani is because if you remember

444
00:21:26.119 --> 00:21:29.240
<v Speaker 8>the middle game of that series, in the sixth inning,

445
00:21:29.720 --> 00:21:32.880
<v Speaker 8>the Dodgers stole three bases, and in the top half

446
00:21:32.920 --> 00:21:37.440
<v Speaker 8>of that inning, I distinctly remember seeing Otani going to

447
00:21:37.519 --> 00:21:40.880
<v Speaker 8>Chris Woodward, the Dodgers first base coach, and giving him

448
00:21:40.960 --> 00:21:44.039
<v Speaker 8>details of what he was seeing from the pitcher as

449
00:21:44.079 --> 00:21:44.559
<v Speaker 8>far as.

450
00:21:44.440 --> 00:21:47.240
<v Speaker 6>His moves, his times. It's not a coincidence.

451
00:21:47.319 --> 00:21:50.119
<v Speaker 8>The Dodgers went out the next half inning and we're

452
00:21:50.200 --> 00:21:54.480
<v Speaker 8>running like race horses from first base to second base.

453
00:21:54.519 --> 00:21:55.880
<v Speaker 6>They stole three bases.

454
00:21:56.240 --> 00:21:58.960
<v Speaker 8>Obviously the Marlins are not very good at holding runners,

455
00:21:59.240 --> 00:22:01.440
<v Speaker 8>but they stole three base is in the bottom half

456
00:22:01.440 --> 00:22:04.119
<v Speaker 8>of that sixth inning, and I am convinced sho Hee

457
00:22:04.160 --> 00:22:05.759
<v Speaker 8>Otani had a lot to do with it.

458
00:22:06.039 --> 00:22:08.039
<v Speaker 2>More horse talk coming up in just a minute, David

459
00:22:08.039 --> 00:22:12.400
<v Speaker 2>but Yoshi Yamamoto coming off his least impressive outing on

460
00:22:12.480 --> 00:22:13.920
<v Speaker 2>this season back on the mounta tonight.

461
00:22:15.160 --> 00:22:17.319
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, and you know it wasn't a horrible outing.

462
00:22:17.400 --> 00:22:19.519
<v Speaker 8>He just got out pitched by Paul Skeens and he

463
00:22:19.559 --> 00:22:22.079
<v Speaker 8>walked more guys than what we have seen him so

464
00:22:22.240 --> 00:22:25.880
<v Speaker 8>far this season. So you know, there's just something different

465
00:22:25.920 --> 00:22:29.640
<v Speaker 8>about Yamamoto this year than there was last year. At

466
00:22:29.680 --> 00:22:31.799
<v Speaker 8>this time, he has a lot more confidence, a lot

467
00:22:31.839 --> 00:22:34.559
<v Speaker 8>more swagger, and my understanding is he has a new

468
00:22:34.599 --> 00:22:37.599
<v Speaker 8>wrinkle too. He's throwing cutters to left handed hitters, and

469
00:22:37.640 --> 00:22:40.400
<v Speaker 8>he's gone back to what made him a decorated pitcher

470
00:22:40.400 --> 00:22:43.200
<v Speaker 8>in Japan. He's throwing his fastballs down in the strike

471
00:22:43.319 --> 00:22:47.079
<v Speaker 8>zone and that makes his split fingered fastball that much

472
00:22:47.160 --> 00:22:50.680
<v Speaker 8>more effective because it looks like his fastball but drops

473
00:22:50.720 --> 00:22:54.839
<v Speaker 8>off the table. So Yamamoto, going back to last year's postseason,

474
00:22:55.319 --> 00:22:57.880
<v Speaker 8>went back to being true to himself as a pitcher.

475
00:22:58.200 --> 00:23:00.359
<v Speaker 2>Time now for the Dodger Derby, where we pick a

476
00:23:00.480 --> 00:23:03.319

566
00:27:34.759 --> 00:27:37.720
<v Speaker 1>Series champion Dodger Rick Monday.

567
00:27:38.279 --> 00:27:41.680
<v Speaker 8>Rick, the weather is considerably different here in Atlanta than

568
00:27:41.720 --> 00:27:44.799
<v Speaker 8>what we left in Los Angeles, a little warmer temperatures.

569
00:27:44.839 --> 00:27:47.519
<v Speaker 7>For the Dodgers, it's a little bit warmer, and it

570
00:27:47.559 --> 00:27:51.759
<v Speaker 7>could get a little bit wetter, especially maybe tomorrow, but

571
00:27:52.160 --> 00:27:55.960
<v Speaker 7>we'll deal with that in tomorrow's game. Meanwhile, the Dodgers

572
00:27:55.960 --> 00:27:59.960
<v Speaker 7>are going to be I think a big question is, Okay,

573
00:28:00.039 --> 00:28:03.519
<v Speaker 7>what about Tommy Edmund. I mentioned that because he was

574
00:28:03.559 --> 00:28:06.880
<v Speaker 7>not playing the final game is a series at Dodger

575
00:28:06.960 --> 00:28:09.680
<v Speaker 7>Stadium because of an ankle that he tweaked the night before,

576
00:28:09.839 --> 00:28:12.839
<v Speaker 7>not in the lineup today? And is that anything to

577
00:28:12.880 --> 00:28:13.960
<v Speaker 7>be concerned about?

578
00:28:14.200 --> 00:28:15.480
<v Speaker 6>I guess to a certain extent.

579
00:28:15.519 --> 00:28:18.319
<v Speaker 8>But after the game, before the Dodgers left for this

580
00:28:18.440 --> 00:28:21.079
<v Speaker 8>road trip, Tommy Edmund reassured me he was fine. He

581
00:28:21.119 --> 00:28:24.440
<v Speaker 8>did not have any wrapping or swelling on that right ankle,

582
00:28:24.920 --> 00:28:28.079
<v Speaker 8>and Dave Roberts even said and wanted to warn everybody

583
00:28:28.119 --> 00:28:30.200
<v Speaker 8>he may not be in the starting lineup tonight, but

584
00:28:30.599 --> 00:28:33.200
<v Speaker 8>he expects him to be back tomorrow if there is

585
00:28:33.240 --> 00:28:33.640
<v Speaker 8>a game.

586
00:28:33.799 --> 00:28:36.799
<v Speaker 7>See in depth recording folks from David Vase. Of course

587
00:28:37.039 --> 00:28:41.559
<v Speaker 7>he's a coat and tie guy. Again tonight, that tile

588
00:28:41.559 --> 00:28:43.680
<v Speaker 7>looks very good. By the way, I have to compliment

589
00:28:43.720 --> 00:28:46.079
<v Speaker 7>you on the fact that you're doing your tie is

590
00:28:46.160 --> 00:28:47.519
<v Speaker 7>much much better over the last year.

591
00:28:47.680 --> 00:28:48.000
<v Speaker 5>Thank you.

592
00:28:48.079 --> 00:28:49.880
<v Speaker 6>I appreciate that you kind of put me on the

593
00:28:49.920 --> 00:28:50.480
<v Speaker 6>right track.

594
00:28:50.599 --> 00:28:53.400
<v Speaker 5>Well, and you're using a full windsor too. By the way,

595
00:28:53.559 --> 00:28:53.920
<v Speaker 5>thank you.

596
00:28:53.920 --> 00:28:56.680
<v Speaker 8>My father in law deserve some credit as well. Okay,

597
00:28:57.000 --> 00:28:58.400
<v Speaker 8>he helped me out with that as well.

598
00:28:58.519 --> 00:29:00.240
<v Speaker 7>See a lot of people out there, they ended stand

599
00:29:00.319 --> 00:29:02.119
<v Speaker 7>a full windsor versus a half windsor.

600
00:29:02.279 --> 00:29:05.440
<v Speaker 8>It takes a village, Rick, you understand that all it

601
00:29:05.519 --> 00:29:10.480
<v Speaker 8>does with you. Rick Yamamoto's back on the mound today

602
00:29:10.559 --> 00:29:12.640
<v Speaker 8>and it feels like just being on the field with

603
00:29:12.960 --> 00:29:14.240
<v Speaker 8>just a handful of players.

604
00:29:14.279 --> 00:29:14.759
<v Speaker 5>Already.

605
00:29:15.279 --> 00:29:17.799
<v Speaker 8>They told me that they're hoping that tonight's not the

606
00:29:17.920 --> 00:29:20.640
<v Speaker 8>night that the Braves get hot, because the Dodgers are

607
00:29:20.680 --> 00:29:23.039
<v Speaker 8>catching a Brave's team that's starting to get its bearing.

608
00:29:23.160 --> 00:29:25.200
<v Speaker 7>Well, I got news for him. The Braves are already

609
00:29:25.240 --> 00:29:27.759
<v Speaker 7>hot because they've won seven of lance ten to.

610
00:29:27.680 --> 00:29:28.599
<v Speaker 5>Fourteen of nineteen.

611
00:29:28.640 --> 00:29:31.400
<v Speaker 7>It's a different team than what the Dodgers saw early

612
00:29:31.440 --> 00:29:34.440
<v Speaker 7>in the season at Dodger Stadium. They're getting some offense. Now,

613
00:29:34.480 --> 00:29:37.519
<v Speaker 7>they're getting some pitching a little bit better, and everybody

614
00:29:37.599 --> 00:29:40.000
<v Speaker 7>was saying, oh my goodness, the sky is falling initially,

615
00:29:40.000 --> 00:29:43.839
<v Speaker 7>but Brian Sitker, the manager of the Atlanta Braves, didn't

616
00:29:43.839 --> 00:29:46.079
<v Speaker 7>push the panic button. He says, look, we're gonna come around.

617
00:29:46.359 --> 00:29:48.640
<v Speaker 5>They were not hitting at all in that series in LA.

618
00:29:48.720 --> 00:29:51.720
<v Speaker 7>And they're doing a much better job. Speaking of hitting,

619
00:29:52.160 --> 00:29:55.759
<v Speaker 7>the Dodgers have some very hot hitters coming into this series.

620
00:29:56.160 --> 00:29:58.880
<v Speaker 7>Freeman six in a row, and if you look at

621
00:29:58.920 --> 00:30:03.720
<v Speaker 7>taskar her Nana's nine straight. Andy Pa has eight consecutive

622
00:30:03.720 --> 00:30:06.359
<v Speaker 7>games he's hit in, So hopefully that's his sign. You're

623
00:30:06.359 --> 00:30:08.559
<v Speaker 7>going to see it from top to bottom a little

624
00:30:08.559 --> 00:30:09.279
<v Speaker 7>bit more support.

625
00:30:09.559 --> 00:30:12.519
<v Speaker 8>You know, it's interesting bringing up Freddie Freeman bringing coming

626
00:30:12.559 --> 00:30:15.799
<v Speaker 8>back to Atlanta. I feel like Freddy is the microcosm

627
00:30:15.839 --> 00:30:19.200
<v Speaker 8>of the perception of the Dodgers. Quietly, Freddy's sitting over

628
00:30:19.240 --> 00:30:21.920
<v Speaker 8>three hundred now, he has no ps of over one thousand.

629
00:30:22.359 --> 00:30:25.000
<v Speaker 8>The Dodgers have the second best record in baseball, and

630
00:30:25.039 --> 00:30:28.559
<v Speaker 8>everybody keeps on asking what's wrong with Freddy? What's wrong

631
00:30:28.599 --> 00:30:29.319
<v Speaker 8>with the Dodgers.

632
00:30:29.440 --> 00:30:30.960
<v Speaker 7>You know, you go over to the TV side, and

633
00:30:30.960 --> 00:30:33.000
<v Speaker 7>all of a sudden, we get these big words from you,

634
00:30:33.079 --> 00:30:35.880
<v Speaker 7>right microcosm. You know, before it was you know, he

635
00:30:36.039 --> 00:30:39.279
<v Speaker 7>and they and and that was just about it. So

636
00:30:39.480 --> 00:30:41.519
<v Speaker 7>it's nice to see the improvement not only with Tai

637
00:30:42.000 --> 00:30:43.440
<v Speaker 7>but also in the vocabulary.

638
00:30:44.400 --> 00:30:46.400
<v Speaker 6>I didn't know we were keeping score on that risk.

639
00:30:46.480 --> 00:30:49.640
<v Speaker 7>Well we're beginning to, by the way, keeping score on

640
00:30:49.720 --> 00:30:53.559
<v Speaker 7>this date, and it's appropriate since Gamamoto is pitching. It

641
00:30:53.640 --> 00:30:55.319
<v Speaker 7>was on this date in nineteen ninety five that the

642
00:30:55.440 --> 00:30:58.359
<v Speaker 7>day on Noomo became the first Japanese native to play

643
00:30:58.440 --> 00:31:02.440
<v Speaker 7>in the Majors since Marikama appear with the Giants in

644
00:31:02.519 --> 00:31:06.160
<v Speaker 7>nineteen sixty four. So it was on this date Adeo

645
00:31:06.279 --> 00:31:10.720
<v Speaker 7>Nomo that came on and went to five scoreless innings

646
00:31:10.720 --> 00:31:13.559
<v Speaker 7>in a game against the Giants at Candlestick Park, and.

647
00:31:13.559 --> 00:31:15.920
<v Speaker 6>The Dodgers lost that game in fifteen innings.

648
00:31:16.000 --> 00:31:18.440
<v Speaker 5>Yes you remember the score four to three?

649
00:31:18.599 --> 00:31:21.480
<v Speaker 8>Yes, correct, and all seven runs were scored in the

650
00:31:21.559 --> 00:31:22.400
<v Speaker 8>fifteenth inning.

651
00:31:22.559 --> 00:31:25.759
<v Speaker 7>Okay, fine, see you're starting to pick things up. You

652
00:31:25.799 --> 00:31:27.839
<v Speaker 7>were there, Yes, you were too.

653
00:31:28.440 --> 00:31:30.519
<v Speaker 6>I was not. Oh no, I was a freshman in

654
00:31:30.559 --> 00:31:32.119
<v Speaker 6>college watching your broadcast.

655
00:31:32.160 --> 00:31:34.720
<v Speaker 7>Oh, but you were there in spirit because I happen

656
00:31:34.759 --> 00:31:36.799
<v Speaker 7>to know what a big Dodger fan you were growing up.

657
00:31:36.960 --> 00:31:40.400
<v Speaker 8>Big Dodger fan, big Dodger fan still are still are

658
00:31:40.640 --> 00:31:42.720
<v Speaker 8>still care about the team, but in a different way.

659
00:31:43.440 --> 00:31:46.640
<v Speaker 8>I going back to Nomo, you have the distinction of

660
00:31:46.720 --> 00:31:50.000
<v Speaker 8>not only calling his major league debut, but you have

661
00:31:50.400 --> 00:31:54.839
<v Speaker 8>the distinction of calling Yamamoto's major league debut. In Sazaki's

662
00:31:54.839 --> 00:31:57.960
<v Speaker 8>major league debut. What do you remember the most about

663
00:31:58.039 --> 00:31:59.160
<v Speaker 8>no Mo Mania.

664
00:31:59.240 --> 00:32:02.799
<v Speaker 7>Here's what initially I thought of when I saw this

665
00:32:02.920 --> 00:32:04.880
<v Speaker 7>on the same site that you did on this date

666
00:32:05.160 --> 00:32:09.079
<v Speaker 7>in baseball about Nomo. I remember the first year that

667
00:32:09.160 --> 00:32:12.039
<v Speaker 7>Hidea was with the ball club in spring training at Dodgertown.

668
00:32:12.599 --> 00:32:16.400
<v Speaker 7>How many photographers we saw outside of his room because

669
00:32:16.400 --> 00:32:19.720
<v Speaker 7>he stayed on campus at Dodger Town, and every morning

670
00:32:19.759 --> 00:32:21.759
<v Speaker 7>he would come out of his room and there would

671
00:32:21.759 --> 00:32:26.279
<v Speaker 7>be twenty photographers. That pales in comparison to what we

672
00:32:26.359 --> 00:32:30.200
<v Speaker 7>see with Otani. Every time Otani turns around and even

673
00:32:30.240 --> 00:32:33.599
<v Speaker 7>takes the field to warm up, it is amazing. Same

674
00:32:33.599 --> 00:32:36.000
<v Speaker 7>way with Yamamoto, in particular, one of the Dodgers went

675
00:32:36.039 --> 00:32:40.920
<v Speaker 7>to Japan. So this is kind of a revisitation, if

676
00:32:40.920 --> 00:32:44.000
<v Speaker 7>you will, of what it was like when Nomo came

677
00:32:44.039 --> 00:32:46.160
<v Speaker 7>on because it caught everybody's attention.

678
00:32:45.960 --> 00:32:49.079
<v Speaker 8>And Hideo Nomo brought back that number sixteen that Rick

679
00:32:49.119 --> 00:32:50.160
<v Speaker 8>Monday used to wear.

680
00:32:50.079 --> 00:32:52.839
<v Speaker 7>And surprise everybody by throwing a no hitter at Cruise

681
00:32:52.880 --> 00:32:54.799
<v Speaker 7>Field in Denver. First of all, they didn't think that

682
00:32:55.480 --> 00:32:57.440
<v Speaker 7>maybe a no hitter could be thrown up there, much

683
00:32:57.519 --> 00:33:00.440
<v Speaker 7>less he threw it. And there was a rain delay

684
00:33:00.519 --> 00:33:02.559
<v Speaker 7>that he had to set out a considerable period of

685
00:33:02.559 --> 00:33:05.359
<v Speaker 7>time and came back and still pitched after the deslay.

686
00:33:05.640 --> 00:33:08.200
<v Speaker 8>I was mentioning this to one of the Japanese reporters.

687
00:33:08.240 --> 00:33:09.720
<v Speaker 8>You have to put that as one of the great

688
00:33:09.759 --> 00:33:12.279
<v Speaker 8>pitching accomplishments in the last thirty years.

689
00:33:12.400 --> 00:33:15.400
<v Speaker 7>Absolutely, and especially too since the game was interrupted. I

690
00:33:15.519 --> 00:33:17.680
<v Speaker 7>remember the exact amount of time. I think it was

691
00:33:17.720 --> 00:33:20.119
<v Speaker 7>at least forty forty five minutes. There was a rain delay,

692
00:33:20.480 --> 00:33:23.039
<v Speaker 7>and he did not cash in the chips and say hey,

693
00:33:23.400 --> 00:33:24.000
<v Speaker 7>I'm done.

694
00:33:24.119 --> 00:33:26.079
<v Speaker 5>He came back out finished the no hitter.

695
00:33:26.079 --> 00:33:28.559
<v Speaker 6>Tough on bray Hdayoomo. Thanks Rick.

696
00:33:28.799 --> 00:33:30.519
<v Speaker 8>We'll check in with you and Tim Nevers a little

00:35:15.199 --> 00:35:16.480
<v Speaker 3>It's an engagement of endearment.

736
00:35:16.519 --> 00:35:18.719
<v Speaker 1>This this high and tight.

737
00:35:18.920 --> 00:35:22.960
<v Speaker 8>Taoscar Hernandez is the most in demand Dodger in Atlanta.

738
00:35:23.039 --> 00:35:26.800
<v Speaker 8>Who knows he is worldwide? Like Pitbull said, the one

<v Speaker 8>and only tail joins us man. Everybody loves you, La

740
00:35:30.320 --> 00:35:33.480
<v Speaker 8>to Atlanta to Miami. Everybody loves that smile.

741
00:35:33.639 --> 00:35:36.960
<v Speaker 10>Well, I appreciate everybody love. You know, I'm trying to

742
00:35:37.000 --> 00:35:40.440
<v Speaker 10>be nice there, Laddie, trying to make everybody feels good

743
00:35:41.599 --> 00:35:43.239
<v Speaker 10>and just you know, have a great time.

744
00:35:43.519 --> 00:35:43.880
<v Speaker 6>All right.

745
00:35:43.960 --> 00:35:47.039
<v Speaker 8>So the Dodgers are here in Atlanta, first of ten

746
00:35:47.119 --> 00:35:49.760
<v Speaker 8>games on this ten day road trip. What's the routine

747
00:35:49.800 --> 00:35:52.400
<v Speaker 8>of taoscar Hernandez. Are you eating as well as you

748
00:35:52.400 --> 00:35:55.400
<v Speaker 8>would in La? Are you looking forward to Miami getting

749
00:35:55.440 --> 00:35:57.039
<v Speaker 8>some real Dominican food?

750
00:35:57.079 --> 00:35:57.800
<v Speaker 6>How are you living?

751
00:35:58.320 --> 00:36:00.960
<v Speaker 10>I mean, I always tried to find that Latin food

752
00:36:01.039 --> 00:36:03.679
<v Speaker 10>and it doesn't have to be Dominican. But you know,

753
00:36:03.719 --> 00:36:06.480
<v Speaker 10>I'm trying to enjoy every city that I go, get

754
00:36:06.519 --> 00:36:08.199
<v Speaker 10>some rest and be ready for the game.

755
00:36:08.360 --> 00:36:10.360
<v Speaker 8>Are you a guy that likes to go out to

756
00:36:10.440 --> 00:36:12.599
<v Speaker 8>eat or are you like the younger guys that want

763
00:36:31.159 --> 00:36:33.320

766
00:36:39.639 --> 00:36:41.519
<v Speaker 8>far as showing him the good life.

767
00:36:41.639 --> 00:36:42.400
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, a little bit.

768
00:36:42.599 --> 00:36:45.280
<v Speaker 10>I'm trying to you know, used to be to play

769
00:36:45.599 --> 00:36:50.400
<v Speaker 10>good the very spot and just you know, I'm trying

770
00:36:50.480 --> 00:36:55.760
<v Speaker 10>to take him out, making make him put his mind

771
00:36:55.800 --> 00:36:59.000
<v Speaker 10>in something else. You know, this is a hard game.

772
00:37:00.039 --> 00:37:03.920
<v Speaker 10>Sometimes it can get you in a place that you

773
00:37:03.960 --> 00:37:06.519
<v Speaker 10>don't want to be in there, But trying to make

774
00:37:06.599 --> 00:37:09.039
<v Speaker 10>everything easier for him and for the rest of the guys.

775
00:37:09.320 --> 00:37:11.360
<v Speaker 8>He gives you a lot of credit for turning his

776
00:37:11.400 --> 00:37:15.119
<v Speaker 8>season around. Do you believe that was part of him

777
00:37:15.159 --> 00:37:15.840
<v Speaker 8>playing better?

778
00:37:16.639 --> 00:37:17.119
<v Speaker 3>I think so.

779
00:37:17.400 --> 00:37:20.920
<v Speaker 10>I man, everybody needs somebody that is there every time

780
00:37:22.000 --> 00:37:24.280
<v Speaker 10>you're going through a bad moment or to a good moment,

781
00:37:25.039 --> 00:37:27.079
<v Speaker 10>giving you the support that you need to get out

782
00:37:27.159 --> 00:37:32.400
<v Speaker 10>of the struggles and to keep doing the things that

783
00:37:32.480 --> 00:37:36.719
<v Speaker 10>you are doing. Great, So he knows I'm always going

784
00:37:36.800 --> 00:37:41.000
<v Speaker 10>to be there for him, make him trying to make

785
00:37:41.119 --> 00:37:45.880
<v Speaker 10>him feel better and have the better mindset to go

786
00:37:45.960 --> 00:37:47.440
<v Speaker 10>into the game and just have to assess.

787
00:37:47.800 --> 00:37:49.760
<v Speaker 8>We see who you are now at this stage of

788
00:37:49.800 --> 00:37:53.920
<v Speaker 8>your career, A great teammate and inclusive teammate, who was

789
00:37:54.000 --> 00:37:56.559
<v Speaker 8>the veteran that showed you the way when you were

790
00:37:56.599 --> 00:38:00.000
<v Speaker 8>coming up to help you lead now in your career.

791
00:38:00.440 --> 00:38:04.760
<v Speaker 10>Well, that's the thing, and I didn't have anybody playing

792
00:38:04.840 --> 00:38:07.800
<v Speaker 10>that role in my career. I had it for a

793
00:38:07.800 --> 00:38:12.000
<v Speaker 10>little bit with Kendrew's morales when I was in Toronto,

794
00:38:12.280 --> 00:38:14.880
<v Speaker 10>but I think that was it. I didn't have anybody

795
00:38:14.880 --> 00:38:19.800
<v Speaker 10>else take me into his wins and just show me

796
00:38:19.840 --> 00:38:23.239
<v Speaker 10>the way. I learned that on my own, and I'm

797
00:38:23.280 --> 00:38:25.519
<v Speaker 10>trying to make a difference, just trying to be different

798
00:38:25.599 --> 00:38:26.320
<v Speaker 10>for the other guys.

799
00:38:26.480 --> 00:38:29.079
<v Speaker 8>That tells me you have a great family and that

800
00:38:29.199 --> 00:38:31.800
<v Speaker 8>was a great upbringing by you to have this type

801
00:38:31.800 --> 00:38:32.280
<v Speaker 8>of spirit.

802
00:38:32.639 --> 00:38:37.360
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, I mean I always trying to be a nice guy,

803
00:38:37.440 --> 00:38:42.119
<v Speaker 10>a family guy, a great teammate, great person. And yes,

804
00:38:42.239 --> 00:38:45.840
<v Speaker 10>I learned that from my family. My wife played a

805
00:38:46.360 --> 00:38:50.480
<v Speaker 10>good role into that too. She's the one that always

806
00:38:50.559 --> 00:38:54.039
<v Speaker 10>is there when the good ones and the moments are

807
00:38:54.519 --> 00:38:57.920
<v Speaker 10>obviously my family, my parents, my brother, everybody, but my

808
00:38:58.039 --> 00:38:59.440
<v Speaker 10>wife is the one that I was in there.

809
00:39:00.239 --> 00:39:02.480
<v Speaker 6>Just go to Miami. How many family and friends will

810
00:39:02.480 --> 00:39:03.039
<v Speaker 6>you have there?

811
00:39:03.519 --> 00:39:03.960
<v Speaker 1>Not many?

812
00:39:04.039 --> 00:39:04.440
<v Speaker 5>Not many.

813
00:39:04.440 --> 00:39:06.519
<v Speaker 10>I don't have a lot of family in Miami. It's

814
00:39:06.559 --> 00:39:10.760
<v Speaker 10>more up North New York and all the area over there.

815
00:39:12.039 --> 00:39:13.239
<v Speaker 5>But not in Miami.

816
00:39:13.480 --> 00:39:15.400
<v Speaker 8>But during the off season, that's where you put in

817
00:39:15.480 --> 00:39:17.679
<v Speaker 8>a lot of your preparation, right in Miami.

818
00:39:17.840 --> 00:39:21.400
<v Speaker 10>Tampa. Yeah, I live in Tampa. That's that's where I train.

819
00:39:22.320 --> 00:39:25.119
<v Speaker 10>Between Tamba and Theminican Republic, that's where I can get

820
00:39:25.199 --> 00:39:26.039
<v Speaker 10>ready for the season.

821
00:39:26.199 --> 00:39:29.320
<v Speaker 6>Okay, I never knew that Florida's a big state. Tail

822
00:39:29.440 --> 00:39:30.320
<v Speaker 6>I don't know where you are.

823
00:39:30.519 --> 00:39:32.960
<v Speaker 10>It is big, it is big, yeah, but I'm in Tamba.

824
00:39:33.000 --> 00:39:34.400
<v Speaker 6>How long have you had the beard for.

825
00:39:36.039 --> 00:39:38.360
<v Speaker 10>It's been a couple of years now, maybe ten.

826
00:39:38.480 --> 00:39:39.480
<v Speaker 6>That's the magic beard.

827
00:39:39.719 --> 00:39:41.960
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, there's the power. There is the power.

828
00:39:42.079 --> 00:39:45.000
<v Speaker 8>So hey, Tayo, before I let you go, there's always

829
00:39:45.000 --> 00:39:47.599
<v Speaker 8>that debate. You know, the game that's being played on

830
00:39:47.639 --> 00:39:50.199
<v Speaker 8>the field, you have a heartbeat as a human being.

831
00:39:50.880 --> 00:39:51.920
<v Speaker 6>What's it like to be.

832
00:39:52.639 --> 00:39:55.440
<v Speaker 8>At the plate taking an at bat with a runner

833
00:39:55.480 --> 00:39:58.559
<v Speaker 8>at second base or third base compared to nobody on base?

834
00:39:58.679 --> 00:40:00.960
<v Speaker 6>Does it change thing for you as a hitter?

835
00:40:02.280 --> 00:40:05.679
<v Speaker 10>It's obviously different. They're not going to pitch you the same.

836
00:40:06.960 --> 00:40:11.119
<v Speaker 10>But what I do is just go there thinking there's

837
00:40:11.159 --> 00:40:14.960
<v Speaker 10>nobody on uh and just a regular at bad don't

838
00:40:14.960 --> 00:40:20.480
<v Speaker 10>think about driving the runner or move the runner to

839
00:40:20.599 --> 00:40:24.719
<v Speaker 10>third base. Just just just being normal. Uh, just go

840
00:40:24.800 --> 00:40:27.760
<v Speaker 10>through your plan and then take your regular swings, not

841
00:40:27.960 --> 00:40:32.199
<v Speaker 10>over swinging, not trying to do too much. And uh,

842
00:40:33.159 --> 00:40:35.159
<v Speaker 10>that's that's the way I approach it.

843
00:40:35.159 --> 00:40:38.360
<v Speaker 8>It feels like you have situational hitting inside of you.

844
00:40:38.360 --> 00:40:41.400
<v Speaker 8>You're not trying to do the home run derby every

845
00:40:41.400 --> 00:40:43.639
<v Speaker 8>at bat. You know you go the other way with

846
00:40:43.719 --> 00:40:47.360
<v Speaker 8>two outs. Is that something you've learned recently or was

847
00:40:47.360 --> 00:40:49.320
<v Speaker 8>that always in you?

848
00:40:49.320 --> 00:40:52.760
<v Speaker 10>No, I learned that in my career. Obviously, in my

849
00:40:52.800 --> 00:40:55.679
<v Speaker 10>last three years, I was trying to get better with

850
00:40:55.840 --> 00:41:01.119
<v Speaker 10>two strikes, so implementing my two strike approach. Uh, they

851
00:41:01.320 --> 00:41:04.920
<v Speaker 10>play me pool, so it's a big space between first

852
00:41:04.960 --> 00:41:08.519
<v Speaker 10>and second, and I know if I shoot the ball

853
00:41:08.519 --> 00:41:10.039
<v Speaker 10>over there with the power with that I had, I

854
00:41:10.079 --> 00:41:12.679
<v Speaker 10>had a big better chance to get ahead over there.

855
00:41:12.920 --> 00:41:15.360
<v Speaker 8>All right, Tayo, thanks a lot for the time. Always

856
00:41:15.400 --> 00:41:17.960
<v Speaker 8>love catching up with you. Hopefully we have more ice

<v Speaker 2>Dodgers and Braves. Yoshi Amamoto and Grant Holmes have pitching matchup.

909
00:43:41.159 --> 00:43:43.679
<v Speaker 2>First pitch coming up at four fifteen. Before that, one

910
00:43:43.760 --> 00:43:47.000
<v Speaker 2>final check from the booth. Tim neffert Rick Monday, guys.

911
00:43:46.639 --> 00:43:49.639
<v Speaker 4>Tim, thanks again very much. Really nice night here at

912
00:43:49.639 --> 00:43:52.840
<v Speaker 4>Truest Park in Atlanta. Big crowd expected on this Friday

913
00:43:52.920 --> 00:43:56.559
<v Speaker 4>night at Truest Park, and the battery outside Truest Park

914
00:43:56.639 --> 00:43:59.960
<v Speaker 4>just packed with people with restaurants and bars and shot

915
00:44:00.239 --> 00:44:02.199
<v Speaker 4>and all kinds of things right around the ballpark here.

916
00:44:02.199 --> 00:44:06.159
<v Speaker 4>It's a real neat environment here in Atlanta. Yoshinobu Yamamoto

917
00:44:06.239 --> 00:44:08.719
<v Speaker 4>will start tonight a one oh six ERA, and well

918
00:44:08.800 --> 00:44:12.159
<v Speaker 4>that's the best er amongst starting pitchers to have at

919
00:44:12.199 --> 00:44:15.840
<v Speaker 4>least thirty innings pitch now in this season. But he

920
00:44:15.920 --> 00:44:18.760
<v Speaker 4>has been very good. The record three and two, but

921
00:44:18.960 --> 00:44:22.159
<v Speaker 4>consider his last start was against Pittsburgh and Paul Skeins.

922
00:44:22.159 --> 00:44:24.559
<v Speaker 4>He only gave up one earned run over five innings

923
00:44:24.639 --> 00:44:25.840
<v Speaker 4>and took a tough luck loss.

924
00:44:25.880 --> 00:44:27.920
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, he did walk four in that outing over the

925
00:44:27.920 --> 00:44:30.400
<v Speaker 7>five innings. But for Yamamoto, he just seems to be

926
00:44:30.440 --> 00:44:35.000
<v Speaker 7>more relaxed, more in tune, and maybe a better advanced

927
00:44:35.360 --> 00:44:38.679
<v Speaker 7>knowledge of the guys that he's pitching again. So he

928
00:44:38.760 --> 00:44:41.920
<v Speaker 7>gets another start here tonight, And if the Dodgers are

929
00:44:41.960 --> 00:44:44.400
<v Speaker 7>going to figure out Grant Holmes, he's pitching a little

930
00:44:44.400 --> 00:44:48.239
<v Speaker 7>differently than what they saw him at Dodger Stadium back

931
00:44:48.320 --> 00:44:52.000
<v Speaker 7>on March thirty. First he got tagged with a loss.

932
00:44:52.000 --> 00:44:54.039
<v Speaker 7>He went four innings, threw a lot of pitches, but

933
00:44:54.159 --> 00:44:57.480
<v Speaker 7>four runs, only four hints. The Oscar Hernanez had the

934
00:44:57.480 --> 00:45:00.119
<v Speaker 7>big blast. That was a two run home run in

935
00:45:00.159 --> 00:45:03.239
<v Speaker 7>the very first inning. But our understanding is Holmes, who

936
00:45:03.320 --> 00:45:05.559
<v Speaker 7>throws a lot of curve balls, now is throwing a

937
00:45:05.639 --> 00:45:08.760
<v Speaker 7>little bit more higher percentage of fastballs, trying to keep

938
00:45:08.800 --> 00:45:10.440
<v Speaker 7>that pitch away from a lot of hitters.

939
00:45:10.519 --> 00:45:13.639
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, Grant Holmes, over a decade ago, was a first

940
00:45:13.679 --> 00:45:17.280
<v Speaker 4>round pick by the Dodgers out of Conway, South Carolina.

941
00:45:17.639 --> 00:45:19.719
<v Speaker 4>That was back in twenty fourteen when he was the

942
00:45:19.760 --> 00:45:24.199
<v Speaker 4>twenty second pick overall. So Grant Holmes against Yoshinobu yama Moto.

943
00:45:24.239 --> 00:45:26.199
<v Speaker 4>A couple of things to look for for keys tonight.

944
00:45:26.239 --> 00:45:28.960
<v Speaker 4>For Yamamoto, see how many ground balls get hit. He's

945
00:45:28.960 --> 00:45:32.039
<v Speaker 4>got a fifteen point increase in his ground ball percentage

946
00:45:32.079 --> 00:45:35.679
<v Speaker 4>already from last year, so sixty two point eight percent

947
00:45:35.719 --> 00:45:37.519
<v Speaker 4>of the time the opposition will hit the ball on

948
00:45:37.559 --> 00:45:39.360
<v Speaker 4>the ground, largely because.

949
00:45:39.119 --> 00:45:40.800
<v Speaker 6>Of the splitter. The splitter low.

950
00:45:41.159 --> 00:45:44.519
<v Speaker 4>He's throwing more splitters than he is fastballs right now,

951
00:45:44.599 --> 00:45:47.159
<v Speaker 4>so that's been effective for him. So we'll see what

952
00:45:47.199 --> 00:45:50.599
<v Speaker 4>happens with the Yama Moto and his pitch repertoire tonight

953
00:45:50.679 --> 00:45:54.239
<v Speaker 4>against Grant Holmes. Game one Dodgers and Braves, coming up

954
00:45:54.280 --> 00:45:56.079
<v Speaker 4>from Truest Park in Atlanta.

955
00:45:56.360 --> 00:45:57.440
<v Speaker 3>First pitch is next.

956
00:45:57.519 --> 00:46:00.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, afterwards, I'll have all the postgame festivity, including Dodger

957
00:46:00.920 --> 00:46:04.239
<v Speaker 2>talk as well. Dodgers, Braves, Dodgers looking to extend that

958
00:46:04.280 --> 00:46:05.440
<v Speaker 2>five game of winning streak.

959
00:46:05.559 --> 00:46:07.039
<v Speaker 3>Next, Enjoy everybody

960
00:46:07.079 --> 00:46:09.880
