26
00:01:15.480 --> 00:01:18.599
<v Speaker 2>again a Dodgers starter could not get past two innings.

27
00:01:18.879 --> 00:01:22.519
<v Speaker 2>Yesterday it was Bobby Miller. Two innings, four runs, seven hits,

28
00:01:22.799 --> 00:01:25.319
<v Speaker 2>two strikeouts. He got the pitch count up to sixty

29
00:01:25.400 --> 00:01:28.040
<v Speaker 2>five before Dave Roberts said enough they go to the

30
00:01:28.079 --> 00:01:30.959
<v Speaker 2>bullpen for the rest of the way, not before he

31
00:01:31.040 --> 00:01:33.439
<v Speaker 2>gave up a pair of runs in the first inning.

32
00:01:33.760 --> 00:01:36.319
<v Speaker 2>He gets tagged for another in the second, and then

33
00:01:36.400 --> 00:01:39.239
<v Speaker 2>one more in the second. Four total in two innings.

34
00:01:39.239 --> 00:01:41.480
<v Speaker 2>Is The Dodgers were down to the Marlins, who are

35
00:01:41.599 --> 00:01:44.799
<v Speaker 2>forty games under five hundred, by a score of four

36
00:01:44.840 --> 00:01:46.560
<v Speaker 2>to nothing. But in the top of the third that

37
00:01:46.680 --> 00:01:50.400
<v Speaker 2>changed show Hey Otani a monster blast four hundred and

38
00:01:50.439 --> 00:01:52.719
<v Speaker 2>two feet down the right field line, two run home run.

39
00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:55.920
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers were down four to two still in the third.

40
00:01:56.040 --> 00:01:57.560
<v Speaker 2>Later Max Months he tied it.

41
00:01:57.560 --> 00:02:01.239
<v Speaker 4>Up two on two outs, pitch swang on and belt

42
00:02:01.319 --> 00:02:04.000
<v Speaker 4>it left center failed. That's gonna split the gap and

43
00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:07.079
<v Speaker 4>go to the wall. Freeman around third, he'll score. Here

44
00:02:07.159 --> 00:02:11.319
<v Speaker 4>comes Taosco around third he will score. And for Max

45
00:02:11.439 --> 00:02:14.919
<v Speaker 4>Monsei it is a two ounth game time double.

46
00:02:15.199 --> 00:02:16.520

<v Speaker 3>Well.

57
00:02:41.080 --> 00:02:43.159
<v Speaker 2>The Dodgers and Marlins were all tied up at four

58
00:02:43.520 --> 00:02:45.639
<v Speaker 2>until they weren't a home run in the bottom of

59
00:02:45.680 --> 00:02:47.560
<v Speaker 2>the third game of five to four lead and Go

60
00:02:47.719 --> 00:02:49.960
<v Speaker 2>Rojas a solo home run that tied the game at five.

61
00:02:50.039 --> 00:02:52.400
<v Speaker 2>It was back and forth the entire way until the

62
00:02:52.439 --> 00:02:54.879
<v Speaker 2>Marlins took an eleven to seven lead off of Jake

63
00:02:54.919 --> 00:02:57.319
<v Speaker 2>Berger home run in the bottom half of the eighth inning,

64
00:02:57.599 --> 00:03:00.879
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers down eleven to seven, down but not out thanks

65
00:03:00.919 --> 00:03:01.560
<v Speaker 2>to Max Munsei.

66
00:03:02.039 --> 00:03:04.919
<v Speaker 4>Eleven to seven, Marlins in front. Dodgers with two on,

67
00:03:05.039 --> 00:03:08.080
<v Speaker 4>two out, and Munsey hits it down the first baseline.

68
00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:11.199
<v Speaker 4>That's a fair ball. Here comes Mookie around third.

69
00:03:10.879 --> 00:03:11.960
<v Speaker 5>He'll score easily.

70
00:03:12.439 --> 00:03:14.919
<v Speaker 4>Fey Oscar on the run. He's gonna be sent home.

71
00:03:15.319 --> 00:03:18.280
<v Speaker 4>He will score, and Max Mounsey is in with a double.

72
00:03:18.560 --> 00:03:22.120
<v Speaker 4>It is eleven to nine and the tying run will

73
00:03:22.120 --> 00:03:24.719
<v Speaker 4>come to the plate with two outs in the ninth

74
00:03:24.840 --> 00:03:28.719
<v Speaker 4>for Max Monsey. Tonight a five RBI game.

75
00:03:29.360 --> 00:03:32.919
<v Speaker 2>Max Mounch He drives in five, but it wasn't enough,

76
00:03:32.919 --> 00:03:36.360
<v Speaker 2>as Tommy Edmans struck out looking in the top half

77
00:03:36.400 --> 00:03:37.240
<v Speaker 2>of the ninth inning.

78
00:03:37.360 --> 00:03:38.199
<v Speaker 3>Ballgame over.

79
00:03:38.479 --> 00:03:43.039
<v Speaker 2>Marlins beat the Dodgers eleven to nine, twenty seven combined

80
00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:46.560
<v Speaker 2>hits in the game. Showy Otani goes deep months he

81
00:03:46.639 --> 00:03:49.599
<v Speaker 2>drives in five, but not enough of the Dodgers, who's

82
00:03:49.639 --> 00:03:53.000
<v Speaker 2>pitching staff just gave up too many runs yesterday and

83
00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:55.840
<v Speaker 2>it wasn't just Bobby Miller who went the two winnings.

84
00:03:55.879 --> 00:03:58.520
<v Speaker 2>He gets a no decision, but the Dodgers bullpen pretty

85
00:03:58.560 --> 00:04:01.360
<v Speaker 2>much everybody gave up runs. Michael Grove gets tagged with

86
00:04:01.360 --> 00:04:04.439
<v Speaker 2>the loss, as the Dodgers, with the loss last night,

87
00:04:04.439 --> 00:04:06.719
<v Speaker 2>fall to eighty nine and sixty two on this season,

88
00:04:06.960 --> 00:04:08.680
<v Speaker 2>still maintain a three and a half game lead in

89
00:04:08.680 --> 00:04:10.919
<v Speaker 2>the division. Get look to get back at it today

90
00:04:11.159 --> 00:04:13.639
<v Speaker 2>against the Marlins, Game two of this three game set,

91
00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:15.680
<v Speaker 2>and with more we head out to the Gallpa Motors

92
00:04:15.719 --> 00:04:18.800
<v Speaker 2>Broadcast booth as we say hello and welcome in Rick Monday.

93
00:04:18.839 --> 00:04:21.600
<v Speaker 5>Tim Never guys, Tim, thank you very much.

94
00:04:21.680 --> 00:04:24.759
<v Speaker 4>Roofe closed again here in Miami at lone Depot Park,

95
00:04:24.839 --> 00:04:28.160
<v Speaker 4>as we get you set for Dodgers Baseball against the Marlins,

96
00:04:28.199 --> 00:04:31.240
<v Speaker 4>Game two of this three game series. Dodgers start tonight

97
00:04:31.279 --> 00:04:34.519
<v Speaker 4>with a magic number of eight, and they can clinch

98
00:04:34.560 --> 00:04:37.120
<v Speaker 4>the postseason as soon as tonight with a win here

99
00:04:37.120 --> 00:04:41.240
<v Speaker 4>in Miami and losses by the Atlanta Braves and New

100
00:04:41.319 --> 00:04:45.639
<v Speaker 4>York Mets. So the postseason could be clinched as soon

101
00:04:45.680 --> 00:04:48.680
<v Speaker 4>as tonight. The Dodgers eighty nine and sixty two, still

102
00:04:48.680 --> 00:04:52.279
<v Speaker 4>three and a half above the San Diego Padres. The Marlins, meantime,

103
00:04:52.319 --> 00:04:57.399
<v Speaker 4>are fifty six and ninety five. The pitching matchup tonight

104
00:04:57.519 --> 00:05:00.279
<v Speaker 4>features Land and knack of the Dodgers two and four

105
00:05:00.680 --> 00:05:04.240
<v Speaker 4>and a three seventy earn run average. Left Hander Ryan Weathers,

106
00:05:04.279 --> 00:05:07.000
<v Speaker 4>who hasn't pitched in three months due to a left

107
00:05:07.079 --> 00:05:10.639
<v Speaker 4>index finger strain, gets the call tonight. The left hander,

108
00:05:10.639 --> 00:05:14.279
<v Speaker 4>who works extremely fast, is three and five and a

109
00:05:14.319 --> 00:05:16.480
<v Speaker 4>three to five to five earned run average, and MO

110
00:05:16.680 --> 00:05:19.480
<v Speaker 4>last night. A lot of stuff to talk about as

111
00:05:19.480 --> 00:05:21.319
<v Speaker 4>far as last night's concerned. We don't have enough time

112
00:05:21.399 --> 00:05:25.399
<v Speaker 4>right now. But eleven to nine, Miami gets the victory.

113
00:05:25.439 --> 00:05:27.920
<v Speaker 4>Dodgers picked up a couple in the ninth, but for

114
00:05:28.040 --> 00:05:32.600
<v Speaker 4>Miami it was their second highest offensive output of the season.

115
00:05:33.199 --> 00:05:37.480
<v Speaker 4>They had fifteen hits and of course Hayesus Sanchez had

116
00:05:37.480 --> 00:05:39.160
<v Speaker 4>a third of those, with a career high five on

117
00:05:39.199 --> 00:05:39.560
<v Speaker 4>his own.

118
00:05:39.639 --> 00:05:41.879
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, and if we look at overall, I mean, we

119
00:05:41.920 --> 00:05:45.079
<v Speaker 6>can continue to talk really about the starting pitching or

120
00:05:45.160 --> 00:05:49.319
<v Speaker 6>lack thereof. If your numbers and it was a big

121
00:05:49.519 --> 00:05:51.759
<v Speaker 6>outing for Bobby Miller, and if he could have been

122
00:05:51.759 --> 00:05:54.839
<v Speaker 6>able to make a stand and say, hey, look count

123
00:05:54.879 --> 00:05:57.399
<v Speaker 6>me in for postseason. That did not happen. Didn't even

124
00:05:57.439 --> 00:06:01.240
<v Speaker 6>come close. Just two innings and runs on seven hits.

125
00:06:01.519 --> 00:06:04.879
<v Speaker 6>But he made sixty five pitches in those two innings.

126
00:06:05.279 --> 00:06:08.120
<v Speaker 6>And then really kind of out of whack a little

127
00:06:08.120 --> 00:06:10.519
<v Speaker 6>bit was the fact that the bullpen that has been

128
00:06:10.639 --> 00:06:13.720
<v Speaker 6>so good in recent times, the bullpen gave up some

129
00:06:13.839 --> 00:06:16.319
<v Speaker 6>runs also. But if you go into the second inning

130
00:06:16.319 --> 00:06:17.959
<v Speaker 6>in the ballgame and you look up and the other

131
00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:21.040
<v Speaker 6>team's already had ten at match with runners in storing position,

132
00:06:21.480 --> 00:06:23.839
<v Speaker 6>you're basically working up hill. And that's exactly what the

133
00:06:23.879 --> 00:06:24.959
<v Speaker 6>Dodgers did all night long.

134
00:06:25.120 --> 00:06:28.600
<v Speaker 4>Dodger's a couple of roster moves today. Bobby Miller last

135
00:06:28.680 --> 00:06:34.079
<v Speaker 4>night starter, optioned to TRIPLEA Oklahoma City. Michael Grove also optioned.

136
00:06:34.439 --> 00:06:37.839
<v Speaker 4>Joe Kelly has been activated. He is ready in the bullpen,

137
00:06:37.879 --> 00:06:41.279
<v Speaker 4>and the Dodgers selected the contract of left handed pitchers

138
00:06:41.480 --> 00:06:45.600
<v Speaker 4>Zach Logue, who they signed on the thirteenth of this month.

139
00:06:45.680 --> 00:06:48.360
<v Speaker 4>They picked him up off waivers from the Braves and

140
00:06:48.439 --> 00:06:51.279
<v Speaker 4>he's had one appearance for Oklahoma City, and so the

141
00:06:51.319 --> 00:06:53.600
<v Speaker 4>South Paul will be active in the bullpen tonight for

142
00:06:53.639 --> 00:06:54.000
<v Speaker 4>the Dodgers.

143
00:06:54.079 --> 00:06:54.279
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

144
00:06:54.279 --> 00:06:54.600
<v Speaker 7>Active.

145
00:06:54.600 --> 00:06:59.000
<v Speaker 6>The other part too, is initially Miguel Rojas was in

146
00:06:59.079 --> 00:07:02.240
<v Speaker 6>the starting lineup at shortstop tonight. Well, he has been

147
00:07:02.279 --> 00:07:05.519
<v Speaker 6>scratched and the Dodgers changing things around. How much are

148
00:07:05.560 --> 00:07:09.279
<v Speaker 6>they changing around well. At shortstop will be Tommy Edmond,

149
00:07:09.639 --> 00:07:12.680
<v Speaker 6>but Mooki Betts, Yes he's in the lineup, but Betts

150
00:07:12.680 --> 00:07:14.279
<v Speaker 6>will be at second base tonight.

151
00:07:14.680 --> 00:07:16.920
<v Speaker 4>And I think this is an effort to get as

152
00:07:16.959 --> 00:07:18.920
<v Speaker 4>many right handed bats as they can get in there

153
00:07:18.959 --> 00:07:23.319
<v Speaker 4>against Weathers, without obviously lifting Otanian Freeman from the lineup.

154
00:07:23.319 --> 00:07:26.000
<v Speaker 4>But everybody else is going to be a right handed

155
00:07:26.040 --> 00:07:28.000
<v Speaker 4>batter going against Ryan Weathers.

156
00:07:28.000 --> 00:07:29.959
<v Speaker 6>And you know, Tim, we've seen Dave Roberts kind of

157
00:07:30.040 --> 00:07:33.279
<v Speaker 6>juggle things around, including again tonight he drops Freddy Freeman back.

158
00:07:33.319 --> 00:07:35.800
<v Speaker 6>So with the lefty Weathers, as you mentioned, you have

159
00:07:35.879 --> 00:07:39.560
<v Speaker 6>Otani top of the lineup, left hander, Mookie BET's right hander.

160
00:07:39.600 --> 00:07:41.920
<v Speaker 6>They moved to Oscar Hernanez up to the three spot

161
00:07:42.319 --> 00:07:45.399
<v Speaker 6>and move Freddy Freeman down to the four spot, not

162
00:07:45.680 --> 00:07:48.759
<v Speaker 6>wanting a lefty alrighty and then a lefty would make

163
00:07:48.800 --> 00:07:51.120
<v Speaker 6>it more convenient for the opposing team to go to

164
00:07:51.160 --> 00:07:53.319
<v Speaker 6>the bullpen and bring in a left handed pitcher.

165
00:07:53.839 --> 00:07:56.319
<v Speaker 4>So the Dodgers getting set to play game number one

166
00:07:56.519 --> 00:07:59.480
<v Speaker 4>fifty two on the season tonight, eighty nine sixty two

167
00:07:59.480 --> 00:08:02.800
<v Speaker 4>of the record. Magic number is eight to clinch the division,

168
00:08:03.079 --> 00:08:06.439
<v Speaker 4>could clinch a playoff Berth if everything falls right as

169
00:08:06.480 --> 00:08:10.439
<v Speaker 4>soon as tonight Dodgers and Marlins Game two, Dodgers looking

00:10:28.919 --> 00:10:32.320
<v Speaker 2>Hey Kirrison now joins us live from Miami before game

215
00:10:32.360 --> 00:10:34.480
<v Speaker 2>two of this three game set, and Curius and the

216
00:10:34.519 --> 00:10:37.799
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers busy making some roster moves this afternoon.

217
00:10:38.320 --> 00:10:41.919
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, very busy. So you know, after Bobby Miller's outing

218
00:10:42.000 --> 00:10:44.320
<v Speaker 8>last night, there were definitely a couple of questions as

219
00:10:44.360 --> 00:10:47.440
<v Speaker 8>to what does this mean for Bobby, everything from trying

220
00:10:47.440 --> 00:10:49.480
<v Speaker 8>to you know, keep his confidence. He's a young player

221
00:10:49.519 --> 00:10:51.519
<v Speaker 8>in this league. Kind of keeping his confidence at a

222
00:10:51.519 --> 00:10:53.240
<v Speaker 8>good spot and not to let him get too far

223
00:10:53.519 --> 00:10:55.639
<v Speaker 8>in his head because you already know he is there

224
00:10:56.159 --> 00:10:58.879
<v Speaker 8>just due to the results. So you know, Dave Robert

225
00:10:58.919 --> 00:11:02.080
<v Speaker 8>told us today that to option him. So Joe Kelly

226
00:11:02.360 --> 00:11:05.240
<v Speaker 8>is back in the returns from the IL, back with

227
00:11:05.279 --> 00:11:06.879
<v Speaker 8>the team in a good spot to come out of

228
00:11:06.879 --> 00:11:09.759
<v Speaker 8>the bullpen. And then Michael Grove was also optioned, so

229
00:11:09.840 --> 00:11:13.320
<v Speaker 8>they did have to make another move for another reliever

230
00:11:13.559 --> 00:11:16.639
<v Speaker 8>arm that's going to be Za Loads. So for him,

231
00:11:16.720 --> 00:11:19.320
<v Speaker 8>it sounds like he's a lefty pitcher can potentially give

232
00:11:19.360 --> 00:11:21.759
<v Speaker 8>some length out of the bullpen, especially considering how many

233
00:11:21.840 --> 00:11:24.759
<v Speaker 8>arms you saw that were used yesterday. So I think

234
00:11:24.840 --> 00:11:27.320
<v Speaker 8>that's just the biggest thing as of right now. You

235
00:11:27.360 --> 00:11:29.879
<v Speaker 8>want some protection for lamb and neck. He's coming off

236
00:11:29.919 --> 00:11:32.759
<v Speaker 8>of a tougher outing, but they do believe that. You know,

237
00:11:32.840 --> 00:11:35.120
<v Speaker 8>he's been great everything he's lived with the big league

238
00:11:35.120 --> 00:11:37.559
<v Speaker 8>team this year, so hopefully he can return to that

239
00:11:37.720 --> 00:11:40.399
<v Speaker 8>form and have a really strong having today. But knowing

240
00:11:40.399 --> 00:11:42.279
<v Speaker 8>that he also us have the support of the bullpen

241
00:11:42.360 --> 00:11:42.960
<v Speaker 8>and the team to be.

<v Speaker 2>a kay. Clayton Kershaw took another step forward.

247
00:11:56.279 --> 00:11:58.840
<v Speaker 8>He really did, and today he was he was in

248
00:11:58.919 --> 00:12:00.679
<v Speaker 8>the bullpen and I think, oh, I was just kind

249
00:12:00.720 --> 00:12:03.480
<v Speaker 8>of like, oh, what's going on over there? And as

250
00:12:03.559 --> 00:12:06.080
<v Speaker 8>you know with Clayton Kershak, he has a very specific

251
00:12:06.360 --> 00:12:08.840
<v Speaker 8>look for a traditional bullpen. Usually he's kind of in

252
00:12:08.879 --> 00:12:11.039
<v Speaker 8>his bullpen utiful not well, I guess that bullpen uniform,

253
00:12:11.039 --> 00:12:14.519
<v Speaker 8>but he's in a jersey and pants the whole thing.

254
00:12:15.000 --> 00:12:16.799
<v Speaker 8>Today he was at his tank top, soone was kind

255
00:12:16.840 --> 00:12:19.120
<v Speaker 8>of like, it's a real bullpen, what's going on? Well,

256
00:12:19.120 --> 00:12:22.240
<v Speaker 8>it was a real bullpen. He threw about eighty pitches,

257
00:12:22.320 --> 00:12:26.080
<v Speaker 8>so it was longer than anyone's probably usual bullpen. But

258
00:12:26.159 --> 00:12:28.039
<v Speaker 8>the biggest say for him is that he's been able

259
00:12:28.080 --> 00:12:30.440
<v Speaker 8>to apply a little bit more pressure on that left foot.

260
00:12:30.759 --> 00:12:33.879
<v Speaker 8>Was dealing with the bone spurs and just kind of

261
00:12:33.919 --> 00:12:36.240
<v Speaker 8>the inflammation that's been there, wanting not to go down

262
00:12:36.279 --> 00:12:39.240
<v Speaker 8>that he's been having to find different ways to manage

263
00:12:39.279 --> 00:12:41.639
<v Speaker 8>that pain. So he's been doing different things. So he's

264
00:12:41.679 --> 00:12:46.399
<v Speaker 8>actually been testing out different orthopedics and so he's got

265
00:12:46.440 --> 00:12:48.799
<v Speaker 8>a new pair in his shoes and spoke Aboucon helping,

266
00:12:48.919 --> 00:12:52.120
<v Speaker 8>and then he also removed one of the spikes on

267
00:12:52.159 --> 00:12:54.799
<v Speaker 8>his tweet to just relieve a little bit of pressure.

268
00:12:54.840 --> 00:12:56.799
<v Speaker 8>And it's kind of like under where the ball of

269
00:12:56.840 --> 00:12:59.279
<v Speaker 8>your foot would be. So the hope is with that

270
00:12:59.279 --> 00:13:01.679
<v Speaker 8>I could pick out some pressure and then even today

271
00:13:01.960 --> 00:13:05.840
<v Speaker 8>able to have Dave Roberts called it a normal ish bullpen.

272
00:13:06.080 --> 00:13:08.519
<v Speaker 8>So it was a really big step though, just regardless

273
00:13:08.559 --> 00:13:10.600
<v Speaker 8>because he is getting you know, he's been moving his arm,

274
00:13:10.639 --> 00:13:12.320
<v Speaker 8>but to be able to come get off of a

275
00:13:12.360 --> 00:13:15.519
<v Speaker 8>traditional mound, that's been huge, and they're hoping, you know,

276
00:13:15.559 --> 00:13:18.399
<v Speaker 8>they're optimistic that with each day he's getting better and

277
00:13:18.440 --> 00:13:20.279
<v Speaker 8>he's moving his arm and keeping that in a good

278
00:13:20.279 --> 00:13:23.200
<v Speaker 8>spot and keeping its enduring. So now it's just when

279
00:13:23.200 --> 00:13:25.000
<v Speaker 8>they're ready to fire that bull for him to get

280
00:13:25.000 --> 00:13:27.480
<v Speaker 8>out there, and they're hoping it's a regular season game.

281
00:13:28.039 --> 00:13:30.159
<v Speaker 8>If not, it's going to be a game in October.

282
00:13:30.159 --> 00:13:32.879
<v Speaker 8>But may you feel they feel really good actually, just

283
00:13:32.960 --> 00:13:35.039
<v Speaker 8>kind of with the progression that he's been making.

284
00:13:35.279 --> 00:13:37.679
<v Speaker 2>Finally some good news. Curious to appreciate it. We'll check

00:14:34.960 --> 00:14:37.240
<v Speaker 2>just wants to make sure everything's okay. Austin Barnes on

303
00:14:37.279 --> 00:14:40.279
<v Speaker 2>the IL with the tow fracture. Tyler Glasnew placed on

304
00:14:40.320 --> 00:14:42.919
<v Speaker 2>the sixty day IL he has done for the season.

305
00:14:42.919 --> 00:14:45.720
<v Speaker 2>Clayton Kershaw through a bullpen session today. More on that

306
00:14:45.759 --> 00:14:48.279
<v Speaker 2>coming up. Is he makes his way back from turf toe.

307
00:14:48.480 --> 00:14:50.960
<v Speaker 2>Gavin Stone, Well, we hoped he.

308
00:14:51.000 --> 00:14:53.120
<v Speaker 3>Have him back. We don't know what his status is.

309
00:14:53.159 --> 00:14:54.919
<v Speaker 2>We heard it from him here on Dodgers on Deck

310
00:14:55.039 --> 00:14:57.720
<v Speaker 2>yesterday DV and him talking about his desire to come

311
00:14:57.759 --> 00:14:59.879
<v Speaker 2>back and pitch this twenty twenty four season. Anthony bo

312
00:15:00.360 --> 00:15:03.759
<v Speaker 2>He's a camelback ranch rehabbing his hairline, fracture in his

313
00:15:03.919 --> 00:15:06.000
<v Speaker 2>left hand. All right, let's head back out to Miami

314
00:15:06.039 --> 00:15:07.120
<v Speaker 2>and check out with the Dodger Skipper.

315
00:15:07.320 --> 00:15:12.279
<v Speaker 1>Answer questions for Dave, Dave, can you just describe Dave?

316
00:15:12.320 --> 00:15:14.200
<v Speaker 3>Can you talk about the pressure.

317
00:15:14.600 --> 00:15:17.240
<v Speaker 1>In the dugout with Dave Roberts.

318
00:15:17.720 --> 00:15:20.720
<v Speaker 9>So I had a fly by conversation with Clayton, and

319
00:15:21.440 --> 00:15:26.039
<v Speaker 9>pretty encouraging. He said that he ended up throwing eighty

320
00:15:26.159 --> 00:15:30.159
<v Speaker 9>three eighty four pitches, which is obviously it's pretty much

321
00:15:30.200 --> 00:15:34.519
<v Speaker 9>five innings, six innings of a game, and he said

322
00:15:34.519 --> 00:15:37.600
<v Speaker 9>it felt better than yesterday and then the last bullpen.

323
00:15:37.759 --> 00:15:41.919
<v Speaker 9>So you know, he's been messing with these different orthotics

324
00:15:41.960 --> 00:15:45.440
<v Speaker 9>and things like that, but today's improvement. So for him

325
00:15:45.480 --> 00:15:47.799
<v Speaker 9>to be able to take them out and throw eighty

326
00:15:47.840 --> 00:15:49.080
<v Speaker 9>some pitches is a good.

327
00:15:48.879 --> 00:15:51.039
<v Speaker 8>Thing when you're looking at just kind of what this

328
00:15:51.120 --> 00:15:53.200
<v Speaker 8>could mean for him now in regard to return, what

329
00:15:53.320 --> 00:15:55.679
<v Speaker 8>has got to be I guess a more pressing next

330
00:15:55.720 --> 00:15:57.799
<v Speaker 8>step for you to have a better understanding for him.

331
00:15:58.600 --> 00:16:04.879
<v Speaker 9>I think for Clayton, obviously the calendar is certainly working

332
00:16:04.919 --> 00:16:10.360
<v Speaker 9>against us. The minor league season is coming to a close,

333
00:16:11.240 --> 00:16:18.679
<v Speaker 9>and so basically is letting time take shape, let it

334
00:16:19.120 --> 00:16:23.919
<v Speaker 9>continue to heal, keep his arm going, keep that intensity up,

335
00:16:24.600 --> 00:16:27.240
<v Speaker 9>and then you know there's going to be a point

336
00:16:27.919 --> 00:16:31.080
<v Speaker 9>whenever we all come together to decide to you know,

337
00:16:31.200 --> 00:16:33.720
<v Speaker 9>fire that bullet and give him a shot to pitch

338
00:16:33.799 --> 00:16:37.200
<v Speaker 9>for us. So I'm holding out hope that it happens.

339
00:16:37.840 --> 00:16:40.080
<v Speaker 9>I don't think anyone knows when it's gonna happen, but

340
00:16:40.879 --> 00:16:43.120
<v Speaker 9>today was a big step in the right direction.

341
00:16:43.519 --> 00:16:46.519
<v Speaker 2>Gavis Nate, you have to pitch in a regular season

342
00:16:46.600 --> 00:16:48.679
<v Speaker 2>game before the end of the year to be an

343
00:16:48.679 --> 00:16:49.799
<v Speaker 2>option in October.

344
00:16:53.240 --> 00:16:55.919
<v Speaker 9>I don't think it's an absolute, but I do think

345
00:16:56.000 --> 00:17:01.399
<v Speaker 9>that that would give everyone a lot more confident by

346
00:17:01.480 --> 00:17:01.840
<v Speaker 9>doing so.

347
00:17:02.639 --> 00:17:05.559
<v Speaker 2>All right, there's Dave Roberts down to the dugout talking

348

00:18:11.200 --> 00:18:14.319
<v Speaker 1>This is Dodger insider David Bass.

371
00:18:14.680 --> 00:18:17.680
<v Speaker 2>All right, David, Bobby Miller gets to start yesterday Today

372
00:18:17.720 --> 00:18:20.359
<v Speaker 2>he gets option back to Triple A Oklahoma City.

373
00:18:20.559 --> 00:18:21.799
<v Speaker 3>What's next?

374
00:18:22.559 --> 00:18:25.799
<v Speaker 10>Well, I feel like this is a lost season for

375
00:18:25.960 --> 00:18:29.240
<v Speaker 10>Bobby Miller. As we know, Tim, he was dealing with

376
00:18:29.279 --> 00:18:32.200
<v Speaker 10>a left knee issue. Just talking to him over the

377
00:18:32.200 --> 00:18:34.759
<v Speaker 10>course of the last three weeks, it feels like there's

378
00:18:34.839 --> 00:18:38.400
<v Speaker 10>more issues with his left knee than what he's letting on.

379
00:18:39.119 --> 00:18:42.839
<v Speaker 10>That's the only explanation because the Bobby Miller we saw

380
00:18:42.920 --> 00:18:46.319
<v Speaker 10>this season is a shell of his former self and

381
00:18:46.440 --> 00:18:50.279
<v Speaker 10>it just doesn't happen because he fell apart or he's

382
00:18:50.319 --> 00:18:53.880
<v Speaker 10>not talented anymore. You have to believe the right shoulder

383
00:18:54.039 --> 00:18:56.799
<v Speaker 10>issue kind of set him back, and when you don't

384
00:18:56.799 --> 00:19:00.880
<v Speaker 10>have your landing leg, that creates even bigger problems. To me, Tim,

385
00:19:01.359 --> 00:19:04.200
<v Speaker 10>we don't know yet, but to me, it feels like

386
00:19:04.319 --> 00:19:07.720
<v Speaker 10>Bobby Miller was trying to pitch through injury and he

387
00:19:07.839 --> 00:19:11.759
<v Speaker 10>hurt himself and he hurt the Dodgers, and hopefully whatever

388
00:19:11.880 --> 00:19:14.799
<v Speaker 10>physical issues he was trying to pitch through, he gets

389
00:19:14.880 --> 00:19:19.119
<v Speaker 10>that corrected and comes back next year hungrier than ever.

390
00:19:19.319 --> 00:19:22.400
<v Speaker 10>Because the Bobby Miller we saw this year did not

391
00:19:22.559 --> 00:19:25.000
<v Speaker 10>resemble the guy we saw last year, and I believe

392
00:19:25.039 --> 00:19:26.359
<v Speaker 10>he was pitching through injury.

393
00:19:26.880 --> 00:19:30.000
<v Speaker 2>Joe Kelly gets activated today, David is a little boost

394
00:19:30.039 --> 00:19:30.599
<v Speaker 2>of the bullpen.

395
00:19:31.640 --> 00:19:35.519
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, speaking of injury, Tim, Joe Kelly just hasn't been

396
00:19:35.599 --> 00:19:38.079
<v Speaker 10>the same. If we look at even when he was

397
00:19:38.119 --> 00:19:42.319
<v Speaker 10>with the White Sox last year, Joe Kelly found something

398
00:19:42.359 --> 00:19:45.839
<v Speaker 10>to help his arm feel a lot better. There was

399
00:19:45.880 --> 00:19:49.680
<v Speaker 10>a therapy that he found that he told me has

400
00:19:49.880 --> 00:19:53.799
<v Speaker 10>really made him feel like himself again. And now he

401
00:19:53.839 --> 00:19:56.519
<v Speaker 10>has thrown the baseball the way he was when the

402
00:19:56.559 --> 00:19:59.960
<v Speaker 10>Dodgers acquired him back after the twenty eighteen seas.

403
00:20:00.359 --> 00:20:02.920
<v Speaker 5>Going into twenty nineteen, I'm.

404
00:20:02.759 --> 00:20:06.720
<v Speaker 10>Very eager for everybody to see this new Joe Kelly,

405
00:20:06.839 --> 00:20:09.599
<v Speaker 10>because he is going to be better than the version

406
00:20:10.039 --> 00:20:11.960
<v Speaker 10>we have seen all season long.

407
00:20:12.480 --> 00:20:14.240
<v Speaker 3>David is driven by Ford.

408
00:20:14.480 --> 00:20:17.720
<v Speaker 2>We all have choices, and Ford certainly gives you the choices.

409
00:20:17.799 --> 00:20:19.759
<v Speaker 3>With the Ford F one fifty.

410
00:20:19.680 --> 00:20:22.960
<v Speaker 2>Gas hybrid all electric tough this march could only be

411
00:20:23.000 --> 00:20:27.440
<v Speaker 2>called F one fifty Now. Clayton Kershaw through the bullpen

412
00:20:27.559 --> 00:20:30.400
<v Speaker 2>session today Dave and Dave Roberts kind of confirmed what

413
00:20:30.519 --> 00:20:31.960
<v Speaker 2>he told you yesterday.

414
00:20:31.599 --> 00:20:35.759
<v Speaker 10>Right, Yeah, that Kershaw has a very good chance of

415
00:20:35.920 --> 00:20:39.440
<v Speaker 10>pitching before the end of the regular season. Remember when

416
00:20:39.519 --> 00:20:42.839
<v Speaker 10>Kershaw spoke to us yesterday, he said that he was

417
00:20:43.039 --> 00:20:45.440
<v Speaker 10>very optimistic he would be able to pitch in a

418
00:20:45.519 --> 00:20:50.279
<v Speaker 10>game in the final eleven twelve days of the regular season.

419
00:20:50.400 --> 00:20:52.680
<v Speaker 10>And with Bobby Miller out of the picture, you would

420
00:20:52.720 --> 00:20:57.000
<v Speaker 10>have to imagine that Kershaw probably in five or six

421
00:20:57.119 --> 00:21:00.000
<v Speaker 10>days could be an option to see whether or not

422
00:21:00.279 --> 00:21:03.519
<v Speaker 10>this is going to work, to give himself an opportunity

423
00:21:03.839 --> 00:21:06.920
<v Speaker 10>to pitch in the postseason today it was as you

424
00:21:07.000 --> 00:21:09.880
<v Speaker 10>heard Dave Roberts say, in eighty to eighty three pitch

425
00:21:09.960 --> 00:21:13.640
<v Speaker 10>bullpen session. I went down there to watch for myself,

426
00:21:14.119 --> 00:21:17.319
<v Speaker 10>and it looked like it was a normal bullpen day.

427
00:21:17.400 --> 00:21:21.160
<v Speaker 10>Obviously you don't throw that many pitches in a bullpen session,

428
00:21:21.240 --> 00:21:22.720
<v Speaker 10>but he looked like.

429
00:21:22.720 --> 00:21:25.160
<v Speaker 5>He was throwing and not holding anything back.

430
00:21:25.400 --> 00:21:29.359
<v Speaker 10>I spoke to him again today after his bullpen session

431
00:21:29.440 --> 00:21:32.440
<v Speaker 10>and he said, I'm getting close. It's not perfect and

432
00:21:32.480 --> 00:21:35.559
<v Speaker 10>it's not feeling great, but or he should say it

433
00:21:35.640 --> 00:21:38.960
<v Speaker 10>is feeling better. It's not one hundred percent perfect. So

434
00:21:39.279 --> 00:21:41.480
<v Speaker 10>he was encouraged by today as well.

435
00:21:41.519 --> 00:21:44.319
<v Speaker 2>I'd certainly encouraging news to hear from Clayton Kershaw David.

520
00:26:03.359 --> 00:26:07.839
<v Speaker 1>And now joined by David Basse. Here's La Dodgers broadcaster

521
00:26:08.319 --> 00:26:11.920
<v Speaker 1>and World Series champion Dodger Rick Monday.

522
00:26:12.319 --> 00:26:15.200
<v Speaker 10>Rick, the Dodgers are not feeling great about the way

523
00:26:15.279 --> 00:26:17.640
<v Speaker 10>things went last night, but they've got to get back

524
00:26:17.680 --> 00:26:20.559
<v Speaker 10>on track because the Astros did them a favor by

525
00:26:20.559 --> 00:26:23.039
<v Speaker 10>beating the Padres last night exactly.

526
00:26:23.240 --> 00:26:26.119
<v Speaker 6>And for the Dodgers that was not a good ballgame,

527
00:26:27.319 --> 00:26:29.480
<v Speaker 6>no stretch of imagination can you say. I mean, they

528
00:26:29.519 --> 00:26:33.079
<v Speaker 6>scored nine runs and you never really felt like they

529
00:26:33.119 --> 00:26:35.599
<v Speaker 6>were in the game. They come up with two runs

530
00:26:35.599 --> 00:26:37.319
<v Speaker 6>in the ninth inning to make it a two run

531
00:26:37.359 --> 00:26:40.599
<v Speaker 6>difference when all the dust was settled, but they didn't

532
00:26:40.640 --> 00:26:44.599
<v Speaker 6>pitch particularly well. Both the starter, you know, Bobby Miller,

533
00:26:45.119 --> 00:26:48.920
<v Speaker 6>who was sent out back to Triple A this year.

534
00:26:49.920 --> 00:26:53.240
<v Speaker 6>Just the two innings, sixty five pitches in those two innings,

535
00:26:53.720 --> 00:26:56.480
<v Speaker 6>and the first couple of innings there were ten opportunities

536
00:26:56.559 --> 00:26:59.359
<v Speaker 6>runners in scoring position where the the Marlino's handed a bat,

537
00:26:59.400 --> 00:27:03.200
<v Speaker 6>and that's such a Dodgers did not play particularly well defensively.

538
00:27:03.200 --> 00:27:05.240
<v Speaker 6>A couple of plays here and there, and then one

539
00:27:05.279 --> 00:27:08.000
<v Speaker 6>of the few times that we've seen in recent weeks,

540
00:27:08.039 --> 00:27:10.880
<v Speaker 6>really the bullpen got touched up for some runs and

541
00:27:10.920 --> 00:27:11.359
<v Speaker 6>some hits.

542
00:27:11.359 --> 00:27:14.319
<v Speaker 10>Also, it just seems like a snowball effect. Rick, when

543
00:27:14.359 --> 00:27:16.920
<v Speaker 10>you don't have good starting pitching, the pitcher is not

544
00:27:17.440 --> 00:27:20.559
<v Speaker 10>throwing strikes, then the defense was on their heels instead

545
00:27:20.599 --> 00:27:23.359
<v Speaker 10>of their toes. There were some misplays behind the pitchers

546
00:27:23.440 --> 00:27:23.960
<v Speaker 10>last night.

547
00:27:24.079 --> 00:27:26.160
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, there was one play that Tim and I were

548
00:27:26.160 --> 00:27:28.559
<v Speaker 6>talking about. Also, yet a right handed batter runner first,

549
00:27:28.640 --> 00:27:31.480
<v Speaker 6>runner first took off, and yet it was Rojas at

550
00:27:31.599 --> 00:27:34.440
<v Speaker 6>shortstop position to cover the bag and the ball went

551
00:27:34.519 --> 00:27:37.480
<v Speaker 6>right where the shortstop was. Normally you're seeing the off

552
00:27:37.519 --> 00:27:40.799
<v Speaker 6>side second basement will be covering. So that was a

553
00:27:40.839 --> 00:27:44.480
<v Speaker 6>call play. It wasn't done just on Rojas thinking Hey,

554
00:27:44.519 --> 00:27:47.200
<v Speaker 6>I'm going to go over there and do that. But yeah,

555
00:27:47.200 --> 00:27:49.960
<v Speaker 6>there's a lot of things. You know, this is game

556
00:27:50.039 --> 00:27:53.720
<v Speaker 6>number one two. The Dodgers need to tighten the belt

557
00:27:53.839 --> 00:27:57.119
<v Speaker 6>because this is not representative of the type and caliber

558
00:27:57.160 --> 00:27:59.440
<v Speaker 6>of baseball that they can play. They're two and three

559
00:27:59.440 --> 00:27:59.920
<v Speaker 6>on this road.

560
00:28:00.720 --> 00:28:02.680
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, and Rick, when you scored nine runs like they

561
00:28:02.720 --> 00:28:05.519
<v Speaker 10>did last night, you would expect to win a ballgame

562
00:28:05.519 --> 00:28:07.960
<v Speaker 10>against one of the worst offenses in baseball.

563
00:28:08.000 --> 00:28:10.359
<v Speaker 6>Score nine runs, you should be winning. You know, I

564
00:28:10.440 --> 00:28:12.559
<v Speaker 6>ran into you as I was arriving here at the stadium.

565
00:28:12.720 --> 00:28:15.559
<v Speaker 6>You were here early. I ran into one another's were

566
00:28:15.880 --> 00:28:17.920
<v Speaker 6>getting on the elevator, come up with the press box,

567
00:28:18.519 --> 00:28:23.319
<v Speaker 6>and you were on a mission because you're trying to

568
00:28:23.359 --> 00:28:23.920
<v Speaker 6>find out.

569
00:28:23.759 --> 00:28:24.759
<v Speaker 7>What the heck is going on.

570
00:28:25.200 --> 00:28:27.440
<v Speaker 6>You told me that Kershaw was in the bullpen. You

571
00:28:27.480 --> 00:28:29.200
<v Speaker 6>were going to take the elevator up a couple of

572
00:28:29.599 --> 00:28:32.559
<v Speaker 6>levels to get a better look to what Kershaw was

573
00:28:32.599 --> 00:28:34.680
<v Speaker 6>doing in the bullpen during that session.

574
00:28:34.680 --> 00:28:37.160
<v Speaker 10>What did you learn, Well, he was not using that

575
00:28:37.319 --> 00:28:41.039
<v Speaker 10>artificial platform that he has been using during this time

576
00:28:41.079 --> 00:28:44.400
<v Speaker 10>on the il to alleviate pressure on his big left toe.

577
00:28:44.799 --> 00:28:48.079
<v Speaker 10>He was throwing full throttle from the pitchers mount in

578
00:28:48.160 --> 00:28:51.160
<v Speaker 10>the Dodger bullpen. And after he was done, I asked

579
00:28:51.240 --> 00:28:53.000
<v Speaker 10>him how it went, and he said he had to

580
00:28:53.079 --> 00:28:56.640
<v Speaker 10>switch spikes in the middle of that bullpen session. And

581
00:28:56.720 --> 00:28:59.880
<v Speaker 10>it feels like he may have found the right orthotics

582
00:29:00.359 --> 00:29:02.920
<v Speaker 10>to be able to pitch sometime before the end of

583
00:29:02.920 --> 00:29:03.799
<v Speaker 10>the regular season.

584
00:29:03.839 --> 00:29:05.440
<v Speaker 6>That was going to be my follow up question. Do

585
00:29:05.480 --> 00:29:08.160
<v Speaker 6>you think that there is a chance an opportunity that

586
00:29:08.279 --> 00:29:11.519
<v Speaker 6>he may get on the mound and just test it

587
00:29:11.559 --> 00:29:14.680
<v Speaker 6>out and see under conditions that hey, it can be challenging.

588
00:29:14.839 --> 00:29:17.680
<v Speaker 10>He told me yesterday, Rick, he was optimistic with the

589
00:29:17.880 --> 00:29:20.519
<v Speaker 10>twelve days now eleven days to go in the regular

590
00:29:20.599 --> 00:29:23.559
<v Speaker 10>season that he would be able to pitch. So he's

591
00:29:23.599 --> 00:29:26.039
<v Speaker 10>working his tail off to try to make that happen.

592
00:29:26.279 --> 00:29:28.599
<v Speaker 6>How long was that bullpen session. Was this just a

593
00:29:28.640 --> 00:29:30.759
<v Speaker 6>tune up bullpen or was this a full blown deal?

594
00:29:31.000 --> 00:29:34.599
<v Speaker 10>Dave Roberts said he threw eighty three pitches during that

595
00:29:34.680 --> 00:29:35.559
<v Speaker 10>bullpen session.

596
00:29:35.599 --> 00:29:37.079
<v Speaker 5>I can't count that high, Rich.

597
00:29:36.960 --> 00:29:38.880
<v Speaker 6>So you would imagine then, if you're going to pro

598
00:29:38.960 --> 00:29:41.000
<v Speaker 6>rate everything else, it would be at least five or

599
00:29:41.039 --> 00:29:45.480
<v Speaker 6>six days before he could have possibly possibly see action

600
00:29:45.599 --> 00:29:46.039
<v Speaker 6>in a game.

601
00:29:46.200 --> 00:29:48.559
<v Speaker 10>And that's why there was a method to his madness

602
00:29:48.599 --> 00:29:53.319
<v Speaker 10>when he was leaning on a folding chair and still throwing.

603
00:29:53.440 --> 00:29:56.799
<v Speaker 10>He wanted to keep the arm active to be able

604
00:29:56.880 --> 00:30:00.519
<v Speaker 10>to avoid a rehab start where he could just come

605
00:30:00.559 --> 00:30:02.319
<v Speaker 10>back and pitch in a game and not have to

606
00:30:02.319 --> 00:30:03.440
<v Speaker 10>do any of that stuff.

607
00:30:03.960 --> 00:30:06.960
<v Speaker 6>That's encouraging. By the way, when we came in someone

608
00:30:07.240 --> 00:30:09.799
<v Speaker 6>the Dodgers had tossed to you a baseball, you gave

609
00:30:09.799 --> 00:30:11.279
<v Speaker 6>it to me, I'm gonna toss it back to you,

610
00:30:11.359 --> 00:30:13.400
<v Speaker 6>because that's not a new one.

611
00:30:13.599 --> 00:30:14.079
<v Speaker 5>No, it's not.

612
00:30:14.240 --> 00:30:18.200
<v Speaker 10>If it was a pearl, I'd want that beautiful John haypenk.

613
00:30:17.880 --> 00:30:19.759
<v Speaker 6>Back home and try and put it up on eBay

614
00:30:19.880 --> 00:30:21.839
<v Speaker 6>or something and say, well, you know whatever.

615
00:30:21.599 --> 00:30:23.400
<v Speaker 5>Hey Rick Monday touched this baseball.

616
00:30:23.480 --> 00:30:26.599
<v Speaker 6>Oh you'll you'll go bigger, You'll go higher, higher than that,

617
00:30:26.799 --> 00:30:29.839
<v Speaker 6>trust me. Yeah, Otani foul bauld or something like that.

618
00:30:29.880 --> 00:30:33.720
<v Speaker 10>Hey Otani threw his seventh bullpen session today as well.

619
00:30:33.759 --> 00:30:34.319
<v Speaker 5>How about that?

620
00:30:34.440 --> 00:30:39.240
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, we saw about fifteen cameramens watching every move that

621
00:30:39.319 --> 00:30:39.799
<v Speaker 6>he made.

622
00:30:39.880 --> 00:30:42.160
<v Speaker 10>I would love to take the attention away from the

623
00:30:42.240 --> 00:30:45.839
<v Speaker 10>Dodgers' bullpen sessions and talk about the guys on the

624
00:30:45.880 --> 00:30:46.599
<v Speaker 10>mound one day.

<v Speaker 1>What will likely be vasse fielding insults from a Dodger player.

657
00:32:11.799 --> 00:32:13.079
<v Speaker 3>It's an engagement of endearment.

658
00:32:13.119 --> 00:32:14.960
<v Speaker 1>This this high and tight.

659
00:32:15.400 --> 00:32:17.839
<v Speaker 10>The Dodgers are in Miami getting set for Game two

660
00:32:17.920 --> 00:32:20.160
<v Speaker 10>of this three game series, and I'm joined right now

661
00:32:20.279 --> 00:32:23.160
<v Speaker 10>by one of the biggest assets the Dodgers have, and

662
00:32:23.200 --> 00:32:26.519
<v Speaker 10>that's pitching coach Connor McGinnis. Connor, thanks a lot for

663
00:32:26.599 --> 00:32:27.839
<v Speaker 10>the time, appreciate it.

664
00:32:27.920 --> 00:32:29.119
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, no, prob me man anytime.

665
00:32:29.240 --> 00:32:32.039
<v Speaker 10>A lot of moving parts with your pitching staff this season,

666
00:32:32.200 --> 00:32:35.160
<v Speaker 10>and of course in the last two weeks you were

667
00:32:35.160 --> 00:32:38.799
<v Speaker 10>out there in the bullpen watching Clayton Kershaw throw what

668
00:32:38.880 --> 00:32:41.319
<v Speaker 10>Dave Roberts said was close to eighty pitches.

669
00:32:41.680 --> 00:32:43.359
<v Speaker 5>What did you think about what you saw?

670
00:32:44.039 --> 00:32:45.319
<v Speaker 7>It was a big step forward.

671
00:32:45.880 --> 00:32:47.759
<v Speaker 12>I think you finally started to find a little more

672
00:32:47.759 --> 00:32:50.680
<v Speaker 12>comfort with a toe and starting to look more and

673
00:32:50.720 --> 00:32:51.519
<v Speaker 12>more like himself.

674
00:32:51.559 --> 00:32:53.240
<v Speaker 7>So this was a big step forward for him, for sure.

675
00:32:53.359 --> 00:32:55.759
<v Speaker 10>That's a little unusual for a guy to throw an

676
00:32:55.759 --> 00:32:57.319
<v Speaker 10>eighty something pitch bullpen.

677
00:32:57.839 --> 00:32:59.599
<v Speaker 3>What drove that, It's.

678
00:32:59.480 --> 00:33:02.319
<v Speaker 12>More trying to maintain his volume and the foundation where

679
00:33:02.400 --> 00:33:04.480
<v Speaker 12>he built up from the you know, the season and

680
00:33:04.559 --> 00:33:07.920
<v Speaker 12>the throws previously, so that way when he can really

681
00:33:07.920 --> 00:33:09.920
<v Speaker 12>give it a full go, he's not that far behind.

682
00:33:10.359 --> 00:33:12.640
<v Speaker 10>Do you feel like he's done a pretty good job

683
00:33:12.720 --> 00:33:15.440
<v Speaker 10>of being able to keep the arm moving whenever it's

684
00:33:15.519 --> 00:33:17.240
<v Speaker 10>decided for him to start in a game.

685
00:33:17.480 --> 00:33:19.920
<v Speaker 12>Yeah, it's a it's a pretty daunting task given this

686
00:33:20.039 --> 00:33:22.759
<v Speaker 12>injury for him. You've seen the videos of him trying

687
00:33:22.799 --> 00:33:25.160
<v Speaker 12>to throw the chair or do the knee drills and

688
00:33:25.839 --> 00:33:27.759
<v Speaker 12>whatnot just to kind of keep the arm in shape

689
00:33:27.799 --> 00:33:30.000
<v Speaker 12>because he worked really hard to get that shoulder healthy

690
00:33:30.400 --> 00:33:32.440
<v Speaker 12>and come back from that. So I know he's frustrated

691
00:33:32.480 --> 00:33:36.039
<v Speaker 12>dealing with his toe now, but giving this guy and

692
00:33:36.119 --> 00:33:38.160
<v Speaker 12>his workout that he's been getting after it, and so

693
00:33:38.440 --> 00:33:40.960
<v Speaker 12>I know he's had some frustrating days and whatnot.

694
00:33:40.599 --> 00:33:42.279
<v Speaker 7>But this was a really promising one.

695
00:33:42.400 --> 00:33:45.000
<v Speaker 10>You're a very creative person yourself on how to get

696
00:33:45.039 --> 00:33:47.960
<v Speaker 10>things done. What did you what did you think about

697
00:33:48.000 --> 00:33:51.559
<v Speaker 10>some of the creative methods Kershaw used, Like you mentioned

698
00:33:51.599 --> 00:33:53.400
<v Speaker 10>the folding chair to keep the arm moving.

699
00:33:53.640 --> 00:33:56.319
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, that's all him. I got nothing to do with

700
00:33:56.359 --> 00:33:57.960
<v Speaker 7>any of that. That's all him.

701
00:33:58.759 --> 00:34:02.000
<v Speaker 12>He's just making sure that he can keep that volume

702
00:34:02.079 --> 00:34:03.079
<v Speaker 12>up and whatnot.

703
00:34:03.160 --> 00:34:04.160
<v Speaker 7>So I think it's been.

704
00:34:04.039 --> 00:34:06.759
<v Speaker 12>Brilliant about how he's been going about it. I know

705
00:34:06.799 --> 00:34:08.760
<v Speaker 12>he's been working hard to find, you know, the right

706
00:34:08.760 --> 00:34:11.239
<v Speaker 12>footwear to try to alleviate some of that pressure on

707
00:34:11.280 --> 00:34:11.679
<v Speaker 12>the toe.

708
00:34:11.800 --> 00:34:14.440
<v Speaker 7>And like I said, today was the first.

709
00:34:14.280 --> 00:34:16.760
<v Speaker 12>Time I really saw him actually kind of getting closer and.

710
00:34:16.719 --> 00:34:18.000
<v Speaker 7>Closer to his true delivery.

711
00:34:18.360 --> 00:34:20.360
<v Speaker 12>Before he was just really struggling to push off as

712
00:34:20.360 --> 00:34:21.760
<v Speaker 12>anyone could possibly imagine.

713
00:34:21.800 --> 00:34:23.800
<v Speaker 7>So this was a good one for him.

714
00:34:24.000 --> 00:34:26.519
<v Speaker 10>Connor McGinnis and Mark Pryor have had their hands full

715
00:34:26.559 --> 00:34:29.400
<v Speaker 10>as far as watching a lot of bullpen sessions. I've

716
00:34:29.440 --> 00:34:32.360
<v Speaker 10>never asked you though about Otani's throwing program.

717
00:34:32.400 --> 00:34:33.679
<v Speaker 5>Where is seeing all that.

718
00:34:35.039 --> 00:34:37.400
<v Speaker 7>As far as as what as far.

719
00:34:37.280 --> 00:34:40.960
<v Speaker 10>As coming back and you know, obviously today another bullpen session.

720
00:34:41.000 --> 00:34:42.239
<v Speaker 5>It's up to seven now.

721
00:34:42.639 --> 00:34:45.719
<v Speaker 10>Is he closer to facing hitters in the next progression?

722
00:34:46.000 --> 00:34:48.400
<v Speaker 12>Yeah, I think that's a bigger question for Mark and

723
00:34:48.440 --> 00:34:52.320
<v Speaker 12>the medical team and then just making sure Show's comfortable

724
00:34:52.320 --> 00:34:56.000
<v Speaker 12>and on board with that. But he's progressing incredibly well.

725
00:34:56.119 --> 00:34:57.920
<v Speaker 12>I mean, this guy's got a lot on his plate.

726
00:34:59.519 --> 00:35:03.599
<v Speaker 12>His bullt been outstanding. He's going through it. You know,

727
00:35:03.760 --> 00:35:06.800
<v Speaker 12>just introduced the splitter today during the bullpen session, So

728
00:35:07.599 --> 00:35:09.519
<v Speaker 12>we're just happy to see him back up there doing

729
00:35:09.519 --> 00:35:12.480
<v Speaker 12>his thing. But yeah, that's about all I know from

730
00:35:12.480 --> 00:35:12.920
<v Speaker 12>this point.

731
00:35:13.000 --> 00:35:16.039
<v Speaker 10>Hey, speaking of the splitter, Yoshi Yamamoto has a pretty

732
00:35:16.039 --> 00:35:20.360
<v Speaker 10>good split fingered fastball. What have you seen from Yamamoto

733
00:35:20.480 --> 00:35:22.960
<v Speaker 10>in his first two starts that are so encouraging?

734
00:35:23.440 --> 00:35:25.480
<v Speaker 12>Yeah, you know that first one back, it was like

735
00:35:25.559 --> 00:35:28.159
<v Speaker 12>watching a video game. This guy had everything rolling and

736
00:35:29.360 --> 00:35:32.519
<v Speaker 12>really found the curveball and split going through. I think

737
00:35:33.360 --> 00:35:35.679
<v Speaker 12>in Atlanta he just was a little out of sync,

738
00:35:35.840 --> 00:35:37.920
<v Speaker 12>you know, couldn't really find his throat early on, so

739
00:35:37.960 --> 00:35:40.239
<v Speaker 12>that splitter was kind of wandering away from him. But

740
00:35:40.599 --> 00:35:43.559
<v Speaker 12>I think he did a really nice job working with

741
00:35:44.079 --> 00:35:47.519
<v Speaker 12>Smitty and Barnes just to make sure that they still

742
00:35:47.559 --> 00:35:50.079
<v Speaker 12>went to it even though he didn't necessarily have it,

743
00:35:50.119 --> 00:35:51.639
<v Speaker 12>and he was able to clip some better ones as

744
00:35:51.679 --> 00:35:52.280
<v Speaker 12>the adding went on.

745
00:35:52.559 --> 00:35:55.199
<v Speaker 10>I noticed he was throwing his cut fastball when he

746
00:35:55.239 --> 00:35:57.360
<v Speaker 10>couldn't find the split fingered fastball.

747
00:35:57.440 --> 00:35:59.400
<v Speaker 5>Is that a great sign from.

748
00:35:59.280 --> 00:36:02.000
<v Speaker 10>A pitching coach standpoint that he can adapt on the fly.

749
00:36:02.599 --> 00:36:05.000
<v Speaker 12>Yeah, you know, he's very unique and that he doesn't

750
00:36:05.039 --> 00:36:06.960
<v Speaker 12>throw all of his pitches warming up, So I think

751
00:36:07.000 --> 00:36:09.920
<v Speaker 12>sometimes some of the pitches get lost through the shuffle

752
00:36:10.719 --> 00:36:13.480
<v Speaker 12>time and time again. So I think they've done a

753
00:36:13.599 --> 00:36:16.079
<v Speaker 12>nice job just from a game planning standpoint, knowing when

754
00:36:16.159 --> 00:36:18.920
<v Speaker 12>and how to deploy the other pitches. And I just think,

755
00:36:19.960 --> 00:36:22.320
<v Speaker 12>you know, it wasn't necessarily on the other team's radar,

756
00:36:22.400 --> 00:36:24.199
<v Speaker 12>and it was a perfect time to introduce it and

757
00:36:24.239 --> 00:36:25.719
<v Speaker 12>kind of help him reset.

758
00:36:25.360 --> 00:36:26.400
<v Speaker 7>The rest of his arsenal.

759
00:36:26.519 --> 00:36:29.760
<v Speaker 12>So I think it's just good for us to remember

760
00:36:29.800 --> 00:36:31.679
<v Speaker 12>not to forget about his little wrinkles even when he

761
00:36:31.679 --> 00:36:32.599
<v Speaker 12>doesn't warm up with him.

762
00:36:32.639 --> 00:36:35.719
<v Speaker 10>Connor, thanks a lot for the time. Always appreciate the insight.

763
00:36:36.159 --> 00:36:38.920
<v Speaker 10>And I'm starting to ruin your cover. You may you

764
00:36:39.000 --> 00:36:41.639
<v Speaker 10>might not be the best kept secret in baseball anymore.

765
00:36:42.000 --> 00:36:44.480
<v Speaker 7>No, I stop him, man, you're being way too kind.

766
00:36:44.519 --> 00:36:46.079
<v Speaker 7>You're being way too kind. And we've got a really

767
00:36:46.119 --> 00:36:47.039
<v Speaker 7>good team there.

768
00:36:47.079 --> 00:36:50.199
<v Speaker 10>He is the man from the Capitol Washington, d C.

769

794
00:37:57.320 --> 00:38:00.639

804

821
00:39:08.960 --> 00:39:10.840
<v Speaker 2>Rick Monday, Tim never guess.

822
00:39:10.559 --> 00:39:12.840
<v Speaker 4>Sam, Thanks again, We're counting you down to the first

823
00:39:12.880 --> 00:39:17.000
<v Speaker 4>pitch tonight at Loan Depot parkroof closed as the Dodgers

824
00:39:17.039 --> 00:39:20.639
<v Speaker 4>looked even things up with the Miami Marlins. Landon Knack

825
00:39:20.719 --> 00:39:23.599
<v Speaker 4>will go for the Dodgers. NAC lost to the Braves

826
00:39:23.679 --> 00:39:27.239
<v Speaker 4>last Friday in Atlanta five runs and two innings, including

827
00:39:27.280 --> 00:39:29.639
<v Speaker 4>a pair of two run homers allowed in that but

828
00:39:29.679 --> 00:39:32.840
<v Speaker 4>prior to that, he only allowed just four earned runs

829
00:39:32.840 --> 00:39:35.880
<v Speaker 4>and eight hits in his previous fifteen innings, So he's

830
00:39:35.920 --> 00:39:39.039
<v Speaker 4>pitched very well when he's had the opportunity, except for

831
00:39:39.079 --> 00:39:40.199
<v Speaker 4>that one outing in Atlanta.

832
00:39:40.280 --> 00:39:43.159
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, Fridday was just a weird night. Sixty four pitches

833
00:39:43.599 --> 00:39:45.960
<v Speaker 6>and NAC took to go through the two innings. But

834
00:39:45.960 --> 00:39:48.280
<v Speaker 6>the other part too is you look overall just to

835
00:39:48.360 --> 00:39:52.519
<v Speaker 6>two sixteen batting average against very good runners in scoring position,

836
00:39:52.800 --> 00:39:57.039
<v Speaker 6>just a one sixty seven batting average against extremely good

837
00:39:57.119 --> 00:40:00.239
<v Speaker 6>So again we're hoping that he can move aside. That's start.

838
00:40:00.239 --> 00:40:02.519
<v Speaker 6>They'd hit on Friday night and get some depth and

839
00:40:02.639 --> 00:40:05.199
<v Speaker 6>give the bullpen a little bit of a breather tonight.

840
00:40:05.000 --> 00:40:07.639
<v Speaker 4>And the opposition of them out. Ryan weather is the

841
00:40:07.719 --> 00:40:11.800
<v Speaker 4>left hander works very fast. Remember the Dodgers and Marlins

842
00:40:11.840 --> 00:40:14.360
<v Speaker 4>played the fastest game of the season back in May.

843
00:40:14.760 --> 00:40:17.199
<v Speaker 4>When Ryan Weathers started it was an hour and fifty

844
00:40:17.199 --> 00:40:17.679
<v Speaker 4>eight minutes.

845
00:40:17.760 --> 00:40:20.239
<v Speaker 6>Yeah. Man, he moves the ball quickly. The last start

846
00:40:20.320 --> 00:40:22.880
<v Speaker 6>on the seventh of June, will find out the command

847
00:40:22.960 --> 00:40:24.239
<v Speaker 6>of the strike zone if he's on.

848
00:40:24.639 --> 00:40:25.679
<v Speaker 7>Could be a long night.

849
00:40:25.960 --> 00:40:29.400
<v Speaker 6>As far as a difficulty at home plate for hitters,

850
00:40:29.800 --> 00:40:32.119
<v Speaker 6>it could be a short night, as far as the clock.

851
00:40:32.559 --> 00:40:35.719
<v Speaker 4>Ryan Weathers for the Marlins, land and neck for the Dodgers.

852
00:40:35.760 --> 00:40:37.760
<v Speaker 4>That's the pitching matchup. As we get you set for

853
00:40:37.800 --> 00:40:39.320
<v Speaker 4>this one in Miami.
