<v Speaker 2>or four from the San Francisco Giants. The Dodgers immediately

18
00:00:54.399 --> 00:00:57.200
<v Speaker 2>from the manager, Dave Roberts, will dive deeper into this

19
00:00:57.280 --> 00:01:00.359
<v Speaker 2>pitching matchup, David Vasago's one on one with Dick on

20
00:01:00.520 --> 00:01:03.840
<v Speaker 2>med who had a big home run yesterday. Shortly, of course,

21
00:01:03.880 --> 00:01:07.079
<v Speaker 2>we'll hear from Rick Monday and Tim nevert out at

22
00:01:07.120 --> 00:01:11.280
<v Speaker 2>the Gallpin Motors Broadcast booth. Well Yesterday at Dodger Stadium,

23
00:01:11.319 --> 00:01:14.680
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers wrapped up a series against San Francisco with

24
00:01:14.959 --> 00:01:19.079
<v Speaker 2>Clayton Kershaw making his twenty twenty four debut two hundred

25
00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:22.920
<v Speaker 2>ninety three days since his last start offseason shoulder surgery.

26
00:01:22.959 --> 00:01:27.319
<v Speaker 2>Clayton Kershaw gets the start four innings, two runs, six hits,

27
00:01:27.480 --> 00:01:30.920
<v Speaker 2>six strikeouts, two walks. He threw seventy two pitches. He

28
00:01:30.959 --> 00:01:33.480
<v Speaker 2>got an early lead thanks to Key k Hernandez with

29
00:01:33.519 --> 00:01:36.239
<v Speaker 2>an RBI single in the second. In the third inning,

30
00:01:36.319 --> 00:01:38.519
<v Speaker 2>it was a rough one. The first four batters got

31
00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:42.200
<v Speaker 2>on base, including a Tyler Fitzgerald RBI triple, then Ramo's

32
00:01:42.319 --> 00:01:45.040
<v Speaker 2>RBI single as the Giants took a two to one lead,

33
00:01:45.079 --> 00:01:48.159
<v Speaker 2>but Kershaw on the ropes, got back to back to

34
00:01:48.200 --> 00:01:51.040
<v Speaker 2>back strikeouts to end the third and in the threat

35
00:01:51.079 --> 00:01:53.640
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers would take the lead. In the fourth, Key

36
00:01:53.719 --> 00:01:56.319
<v Speaker 2>k Hernandez an RBI double tied it, and then Austin

37
00:01:56.359 --> 00:01:57.560
<v Speaker 2>Barnes game the lead.

38
00:01:58.640 --> 00:02:01.319
<v Speaker 4>Barnes on the ground, he goes off the glove of

39
00:02:01.319 --> 00:02:04.640
<v Speaker 4>the third basement. Chapman it Ricochet's off the wall kick

40
00:02:04.879 --> 00:02:08.000
<v Speaker 4>comes around second to score. The Dodgers take the lead.

41
00:02:08.120 --> 00:02:11.319
<v Speaker 4>It's three to two on Austin Barnes's second hit of

42
00:02:11.360 --> 00:02:11.719
<v Speaker 4>the day.

43
00:02:12.520 --> 00:02:15.719
<v Speaker 2>Austin barn is delivering with the RBI single. He extends

44
00:02:15.719 --> 00:02:18.599
<v Speaker 2>his hitting his cheek to eleven straight games. Dodgers of

45
00:02:18.919 --> 00:02:20.879
<v Speaker 2>three to two. They tack on one more in the

46
00:02:21.039 --> 00:02:24.080
<v Speaker 2>fourth on Jason Hayward grounded into a double play, but

47
00:02:24.159 --> 00:02:25.599
<v Speaker 2>Andy Pott has scored from third.

48
00:02:25.840 --> 00:02:28.080
<v Speaker 3>That gave the Dodgers a four to two lead.

49
00:02:28.240 --> 00:02:30.800
<v Speaker 2>The eighth inning, though Alex Vessi and Blake trying and

50
00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:33.319
<v Speaker 2>gave up the lead as the Giants scored a pair

51
00:02:33.319 --> 00:02:36.680
<v Speaker 2>of runs. Jegesilaire a bloop single to center tied it

52
00:02:36.719 --> 00:02:37.319
<v Speaker 2>at four.

53
00:02:37.759 --> 00:02:38.360
<v Speaker 3>The bottom of.

54
00:02:38.360 --> 00:02:40.759
<v Speaker 2>The eighth, though the Giants with the momentum until the

55
00:02:40.800 --> 00:02:43.960
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers snatched it back. Nick I med the former Giant

56
00:02:44.039 --> 00:02:44.639
<v Speaker 2>now Dodger.

57
00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:45.560
<v Speaker 3>Got it done.

58
00:02:45.879 --> 00:02:48.599
<v Speaker 4>Now the two to two pitch, i'm ed left center

59
00:02:48.680 --> 00:02:51.599
<v Speaker 4>field fly ball carrying back toward the wall.

60
00:02:51.719 --> 00:02:56.639
<v Speaker 5>It hits the good thick comment, did you.

61
00:02:58.120 --> 00:02:59.800
<v Speaker 3>His second home run of the year?

62
00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:03.400
<v Speaker 4>His first is a Dodger, so get back against his

63
00:03:03.479 --> 00:03:06.439
<v Speaker 4>old club. The Dodgers lead at five to four.

64
00:03:06.960 --> 00:03:09.120
<v Speaker 2>Released by the Giants two and a half weeks ago,

65
00:03:09.319 --> 00:03:12.319
<v Speaker 2>signed by the Dodgers three days ago. His second start,

66
00:03:12.639 --> 00:03:14.319
<v Speaker 2>hits a home run in the eighth inning.

67
00:03:14.360 --> 00:03:14.840
<v Speaker 6>They give the.

68
00:03:14.800 --> 00:03:17.919
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers a five to four lead. Before the Dodger fans

69
00:03:17.919 --> 00:03:20.719
<v Speaker 2>could even sit down, show he Otani the first pitch

70
00:03:20.759 --> 00:03:23.400
<v Speaker 2>he saw a home run to write his thirty first

71
00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:26.159
<v Speaker 2>of the season. Back to back home runs, Dodgers take

72
00:03:26.199 --> 00:03:29.680
<v Speaker 2>a six to four lead. Brent Honeywell, Yes, he got

73
00:03:29.719 --> 00:03:32.080
<v Speaker 2>the save in the ninth inning. He becomes the ninth

74
00:03:32.120 --> 00:03:34.960
<v Speaker 2>Dodger to pick up his save this season. Dodgers get

75
00:03:34.960 --> 00:03:37.960
<v Speaker 2>the win six for the final, the win goes to

76
00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:39.439
<v Speaker 2>Blake Trident after blowing the save.

77
00:03:39.680 --> 00:03:41.159
<v Speaker 3>Honeywell gets the save.

78
00:03:41.560 --> 00:03:43.840
<v Speaker 2>As the Dodgers improved to sixty two and forty two,

79
00:03:43.879 --> 00:03:46.240
<v Speaker 2>they take three or four from San Francisco. They take

80
00:03:46.360 --> 00:03:49.680
<v Speaker 2>nine to thirteen from the Giants in the season series.

81
00:03:49.879 --> 00:03:52.159
<v Speaker 2>They go six to one on the homestand they've now

82
00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:54.360
<v Speaker 2>got a seven and a half game lead in the division.

83
00:03:54.400 --> 00:03:57.080
<v Speaker 2>And today they hit the road for an eight game

84
00:03:57.199 --> 00:04:00.039
<v Speaker 2>road trip. First top Houston Gavin Stone on the on

85
00:04:00.240 --> 00:04:03.120
<v Speaker 2>the series opener against the Astros and with Morelands head

86
00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:05.840
<v Speaker 2>out to the Gallpin Motors Broadcast booth as we say

87
00:04:05.879 --> 00:04:09.159
<v Speaker 2>hello and welcome back to Rick Monday and Tim never guys.

88
00:04:09.400 --> 00:04:12.039
<v Speaker 7>Thanks Tim very much, and here we are and Houston.

89
00:04:12.080 --> 00:04:15.680
<v Speaker 7>The roof is closed at Minute Made Park, Dodgers in

90
00:04:15.719 --> 00:04:18.120
<v Speaker 7>this building for the first time since the twenty twenty

91
00:04:18.160 --> 00:04:21.560
<v Speaker 7>one season, as the Dodgers get set for Game one

92
00:04:21.560 --> 00:04:24.759
<v Speaker 7>of a three game set with the Houston Astros. The

93
00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:28.439
<v Speaker 7>Astros now lead the American League Western Division by one

94
00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:33.040
<v Speaker 7>game over Seattle fifty three and forty nine, while the

95
00:04:33.079 --> 00:04:35.639
<v Speaker 7>Dodgers are seven and a half up on the Padres.

96
00:04:35.680 --> 00:04:40.000
<v Speaker 7>To start action today sixty two and forty two. The

97
00:04:40.040 --> 00:04:43.319
<v Speaker 7>pitching matchup Gavin Stone, the right hander at nine to three.

98
00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:47.319
<v Speaker 7>He'll apose left handed veteran from Ber Valdez, who authored

99
00:04:47.319 --> 00:04:49.879
<v Speaker 7>a no hitter last August, almost a year ago to

100
00:04:49.959 --> 00:04:53.600
<v Speaker 7>the day, with Valdez eight and five and a three

101
00:04:53.639 --> 00:04:57.319
<v Speaker 7>to six y three earned run average. Dodgers coming off

102
00:04:57.639 --> 00:05:00.480
<v Speaker 7>a very good homestand where they went six one in

103
00:05:00.519 --> 00:05:04.240
<v Speaker 7>the seven games, sweeping Boston and taking three of four

104
00:05:04.959 --> 00:05:08.920
<v Speaker 7>from the San Francisco Giants. Great Monday is back with

105
00:05:09.079 --> 00:05:12.759
<v Speaker 7>us from his time off and glad to see them all,

106
00:05:12.800 --> 00:05:15.000
<v Speaker 7>and glad to see him back here at Houston.

107
00:05:14.720 --> 00:05:17.120
<v Speaker 8>And glad to see the ball club playing very well,

108
00:05:17.680 --> 00:05:22.720
<v Speaker 8>especially with the dramatics of late innings and coming up

109
00:05:22.800 --> 00:05:25.399
<v Speaker 8>extra innings on top of it too. One thing the

110
00:05:25.439 --> 00:05:27.720
<v Speaker 8>Dodgers need to do, obviously, is it come off. The

111
00:05:27.800 --> 00:05:29.560
<v Speaker 8>last road trip was not a good and by any

112
00:05:29.560 --> 00:05:32.959
<v Speaker 8>stretched imagination, they dropped seven of the last nine on

113
00:05:33.160 --> 00:05:35.000
<v Speaker 8>the road. But I think there's also a little bit

114
00:05:35.079 --> 00:05:38.839
<v Speaker 8>extra fire because yes it's the Astros, and yes there's

115
00:05:38.879 --> 00:05:41.759
<v Speaker 8>only two remaining players in the Astros lineup, that being

116
00:05:41.759 --> 00:05:44.879
<v Speaker 8>out Tuvey and Brugman. They were part of that team

117
00:05:44.959 --> 00:05:48.399
<v Speaker 8>back in twenty seventeen in the World Series and everything

118
00:05:48.399 --> 00:05:50.519
<v Speaker 8>that went along with the trash can. But there's still

119
00:05:50.600 --> 00:05:54.360
<v Speaker 8>a lot of pullaballooth you will, the Dodgers and the Astros,

120
00:05:54.399 --> 00:05:56.240
<v Speaker 8>and no reason to think differently here.

121
00:05:57.000 --> 00:05:59.120
<v Speaker 7>Well, this is a tale of two different teams when

122
00:05:59.160 --> 00:06:01.160
<v Speaker 7>it comes to play at home and on the road.

123
00:06:01.279 --> 00:06:04.839
<v Speaker 7>For example, the Astros have won ten of their last

124
00:06:04.839 --> 00:06:08.480
<v Speaker 7>twelve home games, while the Dodgers have dropped seven of

125
00:06:08.560 --> 00:06:10.040
<v Speaker 7>their last nine games on the road.

126
00:06:10.079 --> 00:06:11.680
<v Speaker 8>And we start to look at the Astros, I mean,

127
00:06:11.720 --> 00:06:14.480
<v Speaker 8>you go back to the eighteenth of June, they were

128
00:06:14.519 --> 00:06:17.120
<v Speaker 8>thirty three and forty, so they were seven games below

129
00:06:17.160 --> 00:06:20.120
<v Speaker 8>the five hundred mark. They were ten games out of

130
00:06:20.160 --> 00:06:23.439
<v Speaker 8>first place. Talk about turning things around, well, since the

131
00:06:23.480 --> 00:06:26.439
<v Speaker 8>eighteenth of June, they've gone twenty and nine. As you mentioned,

132
00:06:26.720 --> 00:06:29.000
<v Speaker 8>they have a slim margin as far as the lead

133
00:06:29.079 --> 00:06:32.839
<v Speaker 8>one game against the Seattle Mariners, but if you look

134
00:06:32.879 --> 00:06:35.680
<v Speaker 8>at the Astros, that's quite a turnaround. I mean ten

135
00:06:35.720 --> 00:06:37.680
<v Speaker 8>games out on the eighteenth of June.

136
00:06:37.959 --> 00:06:40.519
<v Speaker 7>One of the matchups to watching this ball game tonight

137
00:06:40.560 --> 00:06:43.639
<v Speaker 7>will be from ber Valdez against shoe Hey Otani, and

138
00:06:43.680 --> 00:06:46.319
<v Speaker 7>not for the reasons that you think, because Otani seems

139
00:06:46.360 --> 00:06:50.160
<v Speaker 7>to hit everybody everywhere all the time. He has really

140
00:06:50.240 --> 00:06:54.439
<v Speaker 7>struggled against Valdez in his career, only four for thirty four,

141
00:06:54.560 --> 00:06:56.639
<v Speaker 7>hitting one to eighteen against the Astros.

142
00:06:56.639 --> 00:06:58.360
<v Speaker 8>Had a good time to turn things around, I think

143
00:06:58.439 --> 00:07:01.480
<v Speaker 8>really coming into his ballpart two, there's going to be

144
00:07:01.480 --> 00:07:05.279
<v Speaker 8>a lot of I think eyes focused on Miguil Vargas

145
00:07:05.279 --> 00:07:08.279
<v Speaker 8>in left field. Why, well, it's only three point fifteen

146
00:07:08.399 --> 00:07:10.560
<v Speaker 8>down the left field line. You've got a very high

147
00:07:10.680 --> 00:07:13.759
<v Speaker 8>auxiliary scoreboard right behind you. If you're playing left field,

148
00:07:14.040 --> 00:07:16.399
<v Speaker 8>then you've got high walls in left center field. On

149
00:07:16.439 --> 00:07:18.920
<v Speaker 8>top of it, the angle of the ball coming off

150
00:07:18.920 --> 00:07:21.759
<v Speaker 8>of the wall might mean something a little bit differently.

151
00:07:21.800 --> 00:07:24.439
<v Speaker 8>The other part two is you've got a shorter through

152
00:07:24.600 --> 00:07:27.040
<v Speaker 8>from left field being so shallows, so we may see

153
00:07:27.120 --> 00:07:29.879
<v Speaker 8>some plays on the bases, but for left fielders it

154
00:07:29.959 --> 00:07:30.879

184
00:08:58.399 --> 00:09:01.720

<v Speaker 2>doing the catching yesterday for Clayton Kershaw. Batting eighth, he

<v Speaker 3>Out there with him.

219
00:10:36.519 --> 00:10:37.519
<v Speaker 10>I thought he threw the ball really well.

220
00:10:38.039 --> 00:10:39.399
<v Speaker 3>We got us in trouble in a third.

221
00:10:39.240 --> 00:10:42.879
<v Speaker 10>Eighty, but came back with three bunchies. You know, I

222
00:10:42.879 --> 00:10:44.960

223
00:10:44.679 --> 00:10:45.679
<v Speaker 3>To see what happens in the future.

224
00:10:45.799 --> 00:10:47.440
<v Speaker 9>And you and your teammates were able to give them

225
00:10:47.440 --> 00:10:49.840

306
00:13:59.440 --> 00:14:02.159
<v Speaker 2>Bets on the eye out the fraction left hand. Yesterday

307
00:14:02.159 --> 00:14:05.000
<v Speaker 2>before the Dodgers finale against the Giants, Mooki was on

308
00:14:05.039 --> 00:14:08.000
<v Speaker 2>the field taking ground balls, so he is slowly progressing

309
00:14:08.039 --> 00:14:12.200
<v Speaker 2>as that hand is healing. Yoshinobu Yamamoto on the iel

310
00:14:12.240 --> 00:14:14.080
<v Speaker 2>at the strained rotator craft. He talked to the media

311
00:14:14.120 --> 00:14:16.799
<v Speaker 2>earlier on the last homestand about his hopes of returning

312
00:14:16.879 --> 00:14:19.600
<v Speaker 2>Walker Bueller on the ielt the sore hip. Walker Bueller

313
00:14:19.679 --> 00:14:22.039
<v Speaker 2>is actually about to take the mound right now in

314
00:14:22.120 --> 00:14:25.440
<v Speaker 2>Triple A, Oklahoma City on a minor league rehab assignment,

315
00:14:25.679 --> 00:14:28.000
<v Speaker 2>and if he does well here one more after that,

316
00:14:28.039 --> 00:14:31.159
<v Speaker 2>we could see Walker Bueller back in this Dodger's rotation.

317
00:14:31.279 --> 00:14:33.440
<v Speaker 2>Michael Grove on the il with the last soreness. He's

318
00:14:33.480 --> 00:14:36.279
<v Speaker 2>working his way back as well, Max Munsey, Bruce Dark

319
00:14:36.279 --> 00:14:39.080
<v Speaker 2>Graderol Gradol is in Triple A Oklahoma City getting some

320
00:14:39.120 --> 00:14:41.799
<v Speaker 2>minor league work in, as is Ryan Brazier, who flew

321
00:14:42.080 --> 00:14:44.360
<v Speaker 2>to join the Oklahoma City Dodgers, and he will pitch

322
00:14:44.440 --> 00:14:47.200
<v Speaker 2>at some point in tonight's Triple A game for the

323
00:14:47.240 --> 00:14:50.240
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers affiliate. Dustin May, Kyle Hurt and She and Tony

324
00:14:50.240 --> 00:14:52.720
<v Speaker 2>Gonslon of course all done for this season, so you're

325
00:14:52.799 --> 00:14:53.240
<v Speaker 2>up to date.

326
00:14:53.159 --> 00:14:53.919
<v Speaker 3>On all the injuries.

327
00:14:53.960 --> 00:14:56.120
<v Speaker 2>Let's head back out to Houston and get the pregame

328
00:14:56.120 --> 00:14:57.519
<v Speaker 2>thoughts on the Dodgers skipper.

329
00:14:57.360 --> 00:14:57.600
<v Speaker 5>Any.

330
00:14:59.440 --> 00:15:00.440
<v Speaker 6>Questions for Dave.

331
00:15:00.519 --> 00:15:02.360
<v Speaker 1>Can you just describe Dave?

332
00:15:02.399 --> 00:15:04.279
<v Speaker 3>Can you talk about the pressure.

333
00:15:04.679 --> 00:15:07.120
<v Speaker 1>In the dugouts with Dave Roberts.

334
00:15:07.759 --> 00:15:11.919
<v Speaker 11>There's gonna be a lineup change. Freddie's gonna head home

335
00:15:13.159 --> 00:15:21.919
<v Speaker 11>because something's going on with this son. So so Gavin

336
00:15:21.960 --> 00:15:26.600
<v Speaker 11>will be in there. We'll move Visio to first base,

337
00:15:27.080 --> 00:15:29.320
<v Speaker 11>and then Gavin will be at second base. So that's

338
00:15:29.320 --> 00:15:30.240
<v Speaker 11>what the whole dog was.

339
00:15:30.360 --> 00:15:32.120
<v Speaker 3>I want you to take part of being away.

340
00:15:32.559 --> 00:15:36.919
<v Speaker 11>You know. I mean I don't I don't know the answer,

341
00:15:37.000 --> 00:15:39.279
<v Speaker 11>but I would. I don't know the answer.

342
00:15:40.480 --> 00:15:42.200
<v Speaker 6>I've been dealing with this for a couple of days.

343
00:15:42.320 --> 00:15:48.159
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, yeah, Chelsea posted something and then so he's gonna

344
00:15:48.200 --> 00:15:51.600
<v Speaker 11>get back, and obviously the last few days he's hasn't

345
00:15:51.639 --> 00:15:56.000
<v Speaker 11>been here, you know, emotionally, it's been certainly hard for

346
00:15:56.120 --> 00:15:58.879
<v Speaker 11>him and he needs to be with this family.

347
00:16:00.759 --> 00:16:05.519
<v Speaker 12>I mean, it's is it Is it something where he's

348
00:16:05.559 --> 00:16:08.000
<v Speaker 12>gonna be gone for the rest of the road trip?

349
00:16:08.039 --> 00:16:11.000
<v Speaker 11>You think that, I honestly, I don't know. I think

350
00:16:11.039 --> 00:16:12.840
<v Speaker 11>this is just something that we just learned and he

351
00:16:13.320 --> 00:16:15.519
<v Speaker 11>needs to be at home and so he's going to

352
00:16:15.559 --> 00:16:18.360
<v Speaker 11>take care of that and then we'll figure figure that out.

353
00:16:18.600 --> 00:16:21.240
<v Speaker 12>You know, he came out to do his usual pregame

354
00:16:21.360 --> 00:16:24.080
<v Speaker 12>routine with Dino. Did he decide that before or after?

355
00:16:24.480 --> 00:16:28.000
<v Speaker 5>As far as afterward, you know, something changed or just kind.

356
00:16:27.919 --> 00:16:30.919
<v Speaker 11>Of I think they're just I don't. I just know that,

357
00:16:31.679 --> 00:16:34.080
<v Speaker 11>you know, something spurred it where he feels like he's

358
00:16:34.120 --> 00:16:34.759
<v Speaker 11>got to go home.

359
00:16:35.519 --> 00:16:36.879
<v Speaker 13>He is he gonna go on I got one of

360
00:16:36.879 --> 00:16:38.639
<v Speaker 13>those lists or I'm not gonna know which list he

361
00:16:38.639 --> 00:16:39.879
<v Speaker 13>can go on to kind of.

362
00:16:39.799 --> 00:16:42.600
<v Speaker 6>Clear a roster spot, or you guys.

363
00:16:42.360 --> 00:16:46.519
<v Speaker 11>Gonna Honestly, it is like I think the priority was

364
00:16:46.600 --> 00:16:50.440
<v Speaker 11>to get him home and then you know the front

365
00:16:50.440 --> 00:16:53.559
<v Speaker 11>office will figure out sort of the administrative part of that.

366
00:16:54.000 --> 00:16:55.919
<v Speaker 3>Oh have you seen him handle the last few days?

367
00:16:55.919 --> 00:16:59.279
<v Speaker 5>Obviously understanding like, oh everything that's where It's.

368
00:16:59.159 --> 00:17:03.879
<v Speaker 11>Come with it as best he can. You know, he's

369
00:17:03.919 --> 00:17:07.799
<v Speaker 11>trying to be here for the team and also be

370
00:17:07.880 --> 00:17:10.160
<v Speaker 11>there for his family. But when your child is going

371
00:17:10.240 --> 00:17:14.279
<v Speaker 11>through things, it's just hard to be present and rightfully so,

372
00:17:15.440 --> 00:17:17.519
<v Speaker 11>he's certainly had a heavy heart the last few days,

373
00:17:17.559 --> 00:17:22.039
<v Speaker 11>and I just pray that you know, Max is kind

374
00:17:22.039 --> 00:17:25.440
<v Speaker 11>of recover well and get you know, have a full recovery.

375
00:17:25.920 --> 00:17:27.039
<v Speaker 3>All right. There's Dave Roberts.

379
00:17:34.720 --> 00:17:38.000
<v Speaker 2>Freddie Freeman leaving the team in Houston. That's Dave Roberts

380
00:17:38.279 --> 00:17:41.400
<v Speaker 2>talking to the pregame media about the Dodgers, Freddie Freeman

381
00:17:41.440 --> 00:17:43.079

404
00:18:52.240 --> 00:18:54.720
<v Speaker 2>All right, David, we just heard you talking with Dave

405
00:18:54.799 --> 00:18:56.640
<v Speaker 2>Roberts just a few minutes ago when he talked to

406
00:18:56.720 --> 00:19:00.000
<v Speaker 2>the media and yourself. What do we know about Freddie

407
00:19:00.119 --> 00:19:02.839
<v Speaker 2>Freeman as far as the timeline, any update on that,

408
00:19:02.880 --> 00:19:03.519
<v Speaker 2>as far as what he.

409
00:19:03.559 --> 00:19:07.039
<v Speaker 5>Might return, Yeah, no word on when he's going to return.

410
00:19:07.519 --> 00:19:11.160
<v Speaker 12>His wife Chelsea posted something on her Instagram story, just

411
00:19:11.279 --> 00:19:16.119
<v Speaker 12>updating everybody in her network, which is pretty public as

412
00:19:16.160 --> 00:19:19.400
<v Speaker 12>far as what the one of their sons, Max is

413
00:19:19.440 --> 00:19:23.200
<v Speaker 12>going through. And obviously Freddie was affected by it. When

414
00:19:23.240 --> 00:19:26.599
<v Speaker 12>I saw him out here earlier today at Mine Made Park,

415
00:19:26.680 --> 00:19:30.640
<v Speaker 12>he came out and did his usual pregame routine with

416
00:19:30.759 --> 00:19:33.240
<v Speaker 12>Dino Ebol. And when I asked him whether or not

417
00:19:33.279 --> 00:19:36.599
<v Speaker 12>he wanted to speak publicly about what he and Chelsea

418
00:19:36.640 --> 00:19:38.839
<v Speaker 12>and the rest of the Freeman family are going through

419
00:19:39.279 --> 00:19:44.200
<v Speaker 12>and our prayers up to Max Freeman, obviously he declined

420
00:19:44.400 --> 00:19:48.319
<v Speaker 12>and he just wasn't himself obviously a heavy heart as

421
00:19:48.359 --> 00:19:51.960
<v Speaker 12>you heard Dave Roberts mentioned. So for the time being,

422
00:19:52.200 --> 00:19:54.640
<v Speaker 12>Freddie Freeman is not with the Dodgers. He's on his

423
00:19:54.720 --> 00:19:58.039
<v Speaker 12>way back to LA and no word on when he's

424
00:19:58.079 --> 00:20:01.240
<v Speaker 12>going to return, whether that's San Diego, Oakland or LA.

425
00:20:02.079 --> 00:20:04.559
<v Speaker 12>The Dodgers want Freddy Freeman to be with family.

426
00:20:04.759 --> 00:20:07.319
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, no doubt about that. He's back when he's back.

427
00:20:07.559 --> 00:20:09.960
<v Speaker 2>As far as back on the field, David, the lineup

428
00:20:10.000 --> 00:20:13.279
<v Speaker 2>gets changed around and Calvin Biegio will get the started

429
00:20:13.319 --> 00:20:16.880
<v Speaker 2>first base tonight, assuming he's gone a few days, Freddy Freeman.

430
00:20:17.039 --> 00:20:19.519
<v Speaker 2>Could that be the plan having Bizho play first base

431
00:20:19.559 --> 00:20:21.359
<v Speaker 2>every day or there's somebody else slide in there.

432
00:20:22.039 --> 00:20:22.240
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

433
00:20:22.359 --> 00:20:25.880
<v Speaker 12>Key k Hernandez can play first base as well, so

434
00:20:25.920 --> 00:20:28.359
<v Speaker 12>it will be a combination of Bigio and Key k

435
00:20:28.519 --> 00:20:33.039
<v Speaker 12>Hernandez holding down first base until Freddie returns to the

436
00:20:33.119 --> 00:20:37.119
<v Speaker 12>team and key K can play anywhere. I mean, it's

437
00:20:37.160 --> 00:20:40.039
<v Speaker 12>amazing to have a player like that. But yeah, it'll

438
00:20:40.039 --> 00:20:41.759
<v Speaker 12>be key K and Cavin Bigio.

439
00:20:41.960 --> 00:20:42.960
<v Speaker 3>David has triven by Ford.

440
00:20:43.000 --> 00:20:44.920
<v Speaker 2>If there's one thing we like, his choice is fine

441
00:20:44.920 --> 00:20:46.559
<v Speaker 2>yours with the four and a half one to fifty

442
00:20:46.599 --> 00:20:49.400
<v Speaker 2>gas Hybrid or the all electric tough This march, yeah,

443
00:20:49.480 --> 00:20:52.440
<v Speaker 2>can only be called f one fifty. You're back at

444
00:20:52.480 --> 00:20:55.960
<v Speaker 2>Menad Park, Dave, twenty seventeen. We all know the Houston

445
00:20:56.000 --> 00:20:59.680
<v Speaker 2>Ashros cheated their way to a World Series championship. Going

446
00:20:59.720 --> 00:21:02.359
<v Speaker 2>back there, any bad feelings?

447
00:21:02.880 --> 00:21:06.200
<v Speaker 12>Yeah, this is this is my first time back since

448
00:21:06.279 --> 00:21:09.880
<v Speaker 12>Game five of the twenty seventeen World Series. Some of

449
00:21:09.880 --> 00:21:13.039
<v Speaker 12>those members of the twenty seventeen Dodgers have been back

450
00:21:13.200 --> 00:21:16.920
<v Speaker 12>since back in twenty twenty with no fans twenty twenty

451
00:21:16.960 --> 00:21:20.599
<v Speaker 12>one fans were allowed in here. But still talking to

452
00:21:20.640 --> 00:21:23.720
<v Speaker 12>some of those players and coaching staff that are that

453
00:21:23.799 --> 00:21:27.920
<v Speaker 12>we're part of the twenty seventeen Dodgers. Still a weird

454
00:21:27.960 --> 00:21:31.119
<v Speaker 12>feeling coming back here, and some said they don't like

455
00:21:31.200 --> 00:21:36.079
<v Speaker 12>coming back here. But obviously, you know, everybody wants to

456
00:21:36.119 --> 00:21:39.920
<v Speaker 12>move on. The Dodgers certainly have moved on, but that's

457
00:21:40.119 --> 00:21:42.759
<v Speaker 12>a historical fact what took place.

458
00:21:42.519 --> 00:21:45.799
<v Speaker 5>Here, and that's not something that's going to change.

459
00:21:45.519 --> 00:21:45.960
<v Speaker 1>No doubt.

460
00:21:46.000 --> 00:21:48.839
<v Speaker 2>All Right, David, the trade deadline is on Tuesday, three

461
00:21:48.880 --> 00:21:51.559
<v Speaker 2>pm Pacific. We're starting to see some deals being made.

462
00:21:51.720 --> 00:21:53.039
<v Speaker 2>What do you hear about the Dodgers.

463
00:21:54.160 --> 00:21:57.799
<v Speaker 12>Well, with Randio rose Arena going to the Mariners and

464
00:21:58.680 --> 00:22:02.880
<v Speaker 12>Austin Hayes going from Baltimore to Philadelphia, the White Sox

465
00:22:02.920 --> 00:22:05.599
<v Speaker 12>still have two outfielders that are of interest to a

466
00:22:05.640 --> 00:22:08.839
<v Speaker 12>lot of teams, Tommy fam who's a free agent at

467
00:22:08.880 --> 00:22:11.759
<v Speaker 12>the end of the year, and also Luis Robert. Also,

468
00:22:11.920 --> 00:22:15.599
<v Speaker 12>as we've talked about before, Tim, the Cubs have a

469
00:22:15.640 --> 00:22:20.000
<v Speaker 12>lot of scouts scouring the Dodgers farm system. Nico Horner

470
00:22:20.079 --> 00:22:23.279
<v Speaker 12>seems to be a name that keeps coming up that

471
00:22:23.359 --> 00:22:25.440
<v Speaker 12>may be traded by July thirtieth.

472
00:22:25.759 --> 00:22:28.160
<v Speaker 5>And also Tanner Scott of the Marlins.

473
00:22:28.160 --> 00:22:31.759
<v Speaker 12>The Marlins already moved one of their very coveted relievers,

474
00:22:31.920 --> 00:22:36.119
<v Speaker 12>Aj Puck, and now Tanner Scott is the next pitcher

475
00:22:36.160 --> 00:22:39.319
<v Speaker 12>that maybe moved from the Marlins. But I was told

476
00:22:39.359 --> 00:22:43.240
<v Speaker 12>the Marlins are asking King's Ransom for Tanner Scott, and

477
00:22:43.279 --> 00:22:46.240
<v Speaker 12>that's part of the reason why the Diamondbacks went with Puck,

478
00:22:46.400 --> 00:22:49.119
<v Speaker 12>So we'll see whether or not if the Marlins asking

479
00:22:49.160 --> 00:22:52.400
<v Speaker 12>price comes down. But certainly Tanner Scott, talking to players

480
00:22:52.720 --> 00:22:55.680
<v Speaker 12>that have faced him, he is not a pitcher that

481
00:22:56.240 --> 00:22:59.200
<v Speaker 12>is a comfortable at bat, and nobody looks forward to

482
00:22:59.240 --> 00:23:02.279
<v Speaker 12>seeing a guy like that. But certainly, if the Dodgers

483
00:23:02.279 --> 00:23:04.880
<v Speaker 12>were able to land a pitcher like Tanner Scott, that

484
00:23:04.920 --> 00:23:07.480
<v Speaker 12>would be a devastating back end of your bullpen.

485
00:23:07.799 --> 00:23:08.599
<v Speaker 3>I love doubt about that.

486
00:23:08.680 --> 00:23:10.240
<v Speaker 2>David Gray Stuff will check back in with you just

<v Speaker 5>I do it's h not about that? Who ws that hot?

506

<v Speaker 1>It's time for the Hawfey Magical Moment Pitch Magical Magical

507
00:24:11.519 --> 00:24:13.440
<v Speaker 1>presented by Hawfey Hottogs.

508
00:24:13.960 --> 00:24:18.519
<v Speaker 2>We go back to October twenty fourth, twenty seventeen, Dodgers Stadium,

509
00:24:18.799 --> 00:24:22.839
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers taking on the Houston Astros, first World Series game

510
00:24:22.880 --> 00:24:26.759
<v Speaker 2>at Dodger Stadium in twenty nine years, as the Dodgers

511
00:24:26.759 --> 00:24:29.680
<v Speaker 2>were back in the Fall Classic. Chris Taylor got the

512
00:24:29.720 --> 00:24:30.680
<v Speaker 2>offense going.

513
00:24:30.480 --> 00:24:34.119
<v Speaker 14>Early twenty three starts during the regular season fourteen and

514
00:24:34.240 --> 00:24:38.480
<v Speaker 14>five at two point nine to zero er. He stays

515
00:24:38.640 --> 00:24:41.519
<v Speaker 14>away from the strike zone. He likes to see other

516
00:24:42.000 --> 00:24:47.240
<v Speaker 14>hitters fish at. On my first pitch, Chris Taylor hits

517
00:24:47.279 --> 00:24:54.680
<v Speaker 14>it out. Hikeel gave up fifteen home runs during the

518
00:24:54.799 --> 00:24:58.880
<v Speaker 14>regular season in one hundred and forty six innings. In

519
00:24:59.079 --> 00:25:01.480
<v Speaker 14>one pitch, the Dodgers take a.

520
00:25:01.599 --> 00:25:05.880
<v Speaker 2>One to nothing lead Chris Taylor with the home run

521
00:25:05.920 --> 00:25:08.599
<v Speaker 2>from Dallas Kaiko the first pitch at the bottom of

522
00:25:08.599 --> 00:25:11.799
<v Speaker 2>the first inning in Game one of the twenty seventeen

523
00:25:11.920 --> 00:25:13.880
<v Speaker 2>World Series. It was the third home run to lead

524
00:25:13.920 --> 00:25:17.319
<v Speaker 2>off a game in Dodgers postseason history Davy Lops nineteen

525
00:25:17.359 --> 00:25:21.519
<v Speaker 2>seventy eight World Series Carl Crawford in the twenty thirteen NLDS.

526
00:25:21.599 --> 00:25:23.400
<v Speaker 2>The Dodgers would see themselves in a one to one

527
00:25:23.440 --> 00:25:26.200
<v Speaker 2>tie later in the game, though Justin Turner hit a

528
00:25:26.240 --> 00:25:28.839
<v Speaker 2>two run home run, tying Dukes Niner for the most

529
00:25:28.839 --> 00:25:31.680
<v Speaker 2>career runs batted in and Dodger postseason history with twenty

530
00:25:31.720 --> 00:25:34.039
<v Speaker 2>six as the Dodgers would take Game one of the

531
00:25:34.039 --> 00:25:37.039
<v Speaker 2>twenty seventeen World Series three to one, but they were

532
00:25:37.160 --> 00:25:39.960
<v Speaker 2>playing against the team that, of course, cheated their way

533
00:25:40.359 --> 00:25:43.319
<v Speaker 2>to a Game seven victory, the Houston Astros with the

534
00:25:43.359 --> 00:25:47.160
<v Speaker 2>asterisk next to him, the World Series champions in twenty seventeen,

535
00:25:47.599 --> 00:25:50.279
<v Speaker 2>cheating their way to that World Series tunnel. This safe

556
00:26:56.440 --> 00:26:58.480
<v Speaker 8>Oh, you'll get over it.

557
00:26:57.319 --> 00:26:59.680
<v Speaker 5>It's starting to wear off.

558
00:26:59.519 --> 00:26:59.799
<v Speaker 10>You know what.

559
00:26:59.839 --> 00:27:02.680
<v Speaker 8>It's really nice to be back because even though you're

560
00:27:02.720 --> 00:27:05.319
<v Speaker 8>taking some days off, which I did and I went

561
00:27:05.319 --> 00:27:07.759
<v Speaker 8>home to Florida, I had a chance to actually have

562
00:27:08.160 --> 00:27:09.839
<v Speaker 8>kind of a normal life and not say, hey, wait

563
00:27:09.839 --> 00:27:11.200
<v Speaker 8>a minute, what are we doing? What do you have

564
00:27:11.200 --> 00:27:14.519
<v Speaker 8>to be at the ballpark. However, our minds get trained

565
00:27:15.079 --> 00:27:17.920
<v Speaker 8>to look at the clock, and by that I'm talking about,

566
00:27:18.440 --> 00:27:21.039
<v Speaker 8>Hey it's two o'clock. Whiche's I should be heading the stadium. Yes,

567
00:27:21.119 --> 00:27:25.000
<v Speaker 8>seven o'clock game. Hey it's three o'clock. Hey it's four o'clock.

568
00:27:25.000 --> 00:27:28.880
<v Speaker 8>We'd be doing this. We'd be doing that. We get

569
00:27:28.920 --> 00:27:32.119
<v Speaker 8>conditioned to it, and then when you get removed, even

570
00:27:32.200 --> 00:27:35.720
<v Speaker 8>for a brief period of time, it's like, okay, fine,

571
00:27:36.240 --> 00:27:38.960
<v Speaker 8>I check my watch and look at the scores, get

572
00:27:39.039 --> 00:27:41.279
<v Speaker 8>on my phone, look at the scores, get on the

573
00:27:41.759 --> 00:27:44.400
<v Speaker 8>my iPad and be able to check things out. But

574
00:27:44.519 --> 00:27:46.880
<v Speaker 8>this is a fun time. In fact, right now is

575
00:27:46.920 --> 00:27:48.839
<v Speaker 8>a fun time to be at the ballpark. I say

576
00:27:48.880 --> 00:27:52.640
<v Speaker 8>that because starting pitchers are beginning to walk out to

577
00:27:52.279 --> 00:27:55.400
<v Speaker 8>the bullpens. We can see that take place. People are

578
00:27:55.440 --> 00:27:58.920
<v Speaker 8>filing in. There's always the electricity that's in the air.

579
00:27:58.920 --> 00:28:01.119
<v Speaker 8>And I think more so obviously with the Dodgers and

580
00:28:01.160 --> 00:28:04.200
<v Speaker 8>the Astros, they go back, Okay, fine, the history is there,

581
00:28:04.519 --> 00:28:07.000
<v Speaker 8>but now you have to move on. And for the Dodgers,

582
00:28:07.000 --> 00:28:09.799
<v Speaker 8>they have moved on and coming off a successful homestand

583
00:28:10.200 --> 00:28:12.319
<v Speaker 8>and now they've got to turn things around because they

584
00:28:12.319 --> 00:28:14.880
<v Speaker 8>had a dismal road trip. You know, if you look

585
00:28:15.000 --> 00:28:18.160
<v Speaker 8>recently the last road trip you're looking at, Dodgers have

586
00:28:18.440 --> 00:28:21.279
<v Speaker 8>dropped seven of their nine. Well, that's got to change,

587
00:28:21.319 --> 00:28:24.640
<v Speaker 8>and the figures it is going to change. But this

588
00:28:24.759 --> 00:28:27.599
<v Speaker 8>is kind of interesting time in baseball too, because with

589
00:28:27.720 --> 00:28:32.200
<v Speaker 8>the new trade deadline, now is beating even louder and

590
00:28:32.279 --> 00:28:35.640
<v Speaker 8>louder and getting closer and closer, and the prices are

591
00:28:35.640 --> 00:28:37.880
<v Speaker 8>going up and up and up because of so many

592
00:28:37.960 --> 00:28:41.119
<v Speaker 8>teams that are still in the race theoretically for a

593
00:28:41.160 --> 00:28:42.319
<v Speaker 8>wild card spot.

594
00:28:42.319 --> 00:28:44.480
<v Speaker 5>No doubt, Rick, and I was going to bring that up.

595
00:28:44.519 --> 00:28:47.920
<v Speaker 12>The last time you were broadcasting games, the Dodgers were

596
00:28:47.960 --> 00:28:51.480
<v Speaker 12>not playing that well. But on this last homestand six

597
00:28:51.559 --> 00:28:53.680
<v Speaker 12>and one, they have turned the ship around.

598
00:28:53.799 --> 00:28:56.480
<v Speaker 8>And I think the way that they were winning those

599
00:28:56.519 --> 00:29:00.920
<v Speaker 8>games very interesting late innings, extra innings, being able to

600
00:29:00.960 --> 00:29:03.279
<v Speaker 8>come from behind, being able to hold on to a lead.

601
00:29:03.759 --> 00:29:05.960
<v Speaker 8>It was exciting baseball. And then you mix in a

602
00:29:06.039 --> 00:29:08.200
<v Speaker 8>is that how they were able to accomplish that and

603
00:29:08.319 --> 00:29:11.440
<v Speaker 8>now beginning to get some players back Glass now has

604
00:29:11.480 --> 00:29:16.119
<v Speaker 8>been Kershaw came back, so you get you know, finally

605
00:29:16.279 --> 00:29:19.119
<v Speaker 8>some guys healthy. There's still a few more, hopefully you're

606
00:29:19.160 --> 00:29:21.559
<v Speaker 8>going to be rejoining this ball club very very soon.

607
00:29:21.599 --> 00:29:24.839
<v Speaker 8>But you start to look around baseball, David. In fact,

608
00:29:24.880 --> 00:29:27.200
<v Speaker 8>right now I'm looking at a list and you've got

609
00:29:27.200 --> 00:29:30.160
<v Speaker 8>it right in front of you too. The wildcard standings

610
00:29:30.200 --> 00:29:33.279
<v Speaker 8>in Major League Baseball. Right now, there are fourteen teams.

611
00:29:33.759 --> 00:29:38.119
<v Speaker 8>Fourteen teams. We're not talking about division leaders, but fourteen

612
00:29:38.200 --> 00:29:41.920
<v Speaker 8>teams are within five games of a leadoff spot or

613
00:29:42.000 --> 00:29:45.480
<v Speaker 8>at least a wild card spot. So yeah, if your

614
00:29:45.519 --> 00:29:49.279
<v Speaker 8>team trying to make the deal, you may get snicker shock.

615
00:29:49.559 --> 00:29:52.599
<v Speaker 12>Yeah, well, already some trades already being made. It feels

616
00:29:52.680 --> 00:29:54.720
<v Speaker 12>like if there's a need, you better jump on it

617
00:29:54.799 --> 00:29:58.279
<v Speaker 12>now or you might be holding an empty basket by

618
00:29:58.319 --> 00:29:59.960
<v Speaker 12>the time July thirtieth comes around.

619
00:30:00.079 --> 00:30:02.640
<v Speaker 8>And when it comes to that trading deadline with fifteen

620
00:30:02.680 --> 00:30:05.880
<v Speaker 8>minutes left to go, because the prices go up, they

621
00:30:05.960 --> 00:30:10.599
<v Speaker 8>get a discount price. What's the give and take? And

622
00:30:10.640 --> 00:30:12.960
<v Speaker 8>then what happens with injuries. You know, the Dodgers want

623
00:30:12.960 --> 00:30:15.599
<v Speaker 8>they're getting some guys back, They've also you know, lost

624
00:30:15.640 --> 00:30:18.000
<v Speaker 8>some guys. You look at Chris Taylor, you look at

625
00:30:18.039 --> 00:30:20.599
<v Speaker 8>Miguil Rojas also all of a sudden, booth they're not available.

626
00:30:20.680 --> 00:30:23.640
<v Speaker 8>They're on the injured list. So this is an exciting time.

627
00:30:24.200 --> 00:30:29.000
<v Speaker 8>We're just about that area that the season becomes a sprint.

628
00:30:29.359 --> 00:30:31.799
<v Speaker 12>All right, Well, the Dodgers got a veteran back in

629

<v Speaker 1>a Dodger player.

668
00:32:17.880 --> 00:32:21.039

<v Speaker 12>thanks a lot for the time, straight out of the cold, tough.

<v Speaker 6>For this, Yeah, just fitting it in and talk with you.

673
00:32:34.039 --> 00:32:36.279
<v Speaker 13>It feels good to be part of this organization and uh,

674
00:32:36.640 --> 00:32:38.200
<v Speaker 13>take a take an end of this road trip.

675
00:32:39.200 --> 00:32:40.640
<v Speaker 6>You know, we got a great team here. Excited to

676
00:32:40.680 --> 00:32:41.200
<v Speaker 6>be part of it.

677
00:32:41.400 --> 00:32:41.559
<v Speaker 5>Nick.

678
00:32:41.599 --> 00:32:43.960
<v Speaker 12>There's always new dynamics when you join a team, but

679
00:32:44.359 --> 00:32:46.319
<v Speaker 12>to do it the way you did it, it's got

680
00:32:46.319 --> 00:32:48.720
<v Speaker 12>to feel good and make things a little easier when

681
00:32:48.759 --> 00:32:50.440
<v Speaker 12>you delivered the way you did yesterday.

682
00:32:50.599 --> 00:32:51.240
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, for sure.

683
00:32:51.279 --> 00:32:52.799
<v Speaker 13>You know, anytime you jump to a new team, you

684
00:32:52.799 --> 00:32:55.279
<v Speaker 13>want to contribute and help. Spend a long time on

685
00:32:55.319 --> 00:32:59.200
<v Speaker 13>one spot, but two teams this year and hopefully take

686
00:32:59.200 --> 00:33:00.920
<v Speaker 13>this team into the playof some we do some damage

687
00:33:00.920 --> 00:33:01.519
<v Speaker 13>in October.

688
00:33:01.640 --> 00:33:04.000
<v Speaker 12>What's it like being teammates with some of the players

689
00:33:04.039 --> 00:33:06.519
<v Speaker 12>that you played against for so many years.

690
00:33:07.119 --> 00:33:09.880
<v Speaker 13>There's some familiarity for sure, just playing against this group

691
00:33:09.920 --> 00:33:12.880
<v Speaker 13>and you know, seeing and competing against them from across

692
00:33:12.880 --> 00:33:14.759
<v Speaker 13>the field, which makes it a little bit more comfortable

693
00:33:15.279 --> 00:33:15.559
<v Speaker 13>for me.

694
00:33:15.720 --> 00:33:17.400
<v Speaker 6>And just a great group of guys here.

695
00:33:17.720 --> 00:33:20.839
<v Speaker 13>Everybody's been welcoming and gray so far and extremely helpful

696
00:33:20.880 --> 00:33:23.359
<v Speaker 13>to help me get settled in. So excited to be

697
00:33:23.400 --> 00:33:25.880
<v Speaker 13>a part of a great team and some great individual players,

698
00:33:25.880 --> 00:33:27.000
<v Speaker 13>but I think an even better team.

699
00:33:27.440 --> 00:33:29.359
<v Speaker 12>Usually you don't need dat a home run to be

700
00:33:29.480 --> 00:33:31.880
<v Speaker 12>welcome by a team, but to hit a home run

701
00:33:31.920 --> 00:33:35.079
<v Speaker 12>in that spot yesterday, I'm sure it broke the ice.

702
00:33:34.839 --> 00:33:35.519
<v Speaker 5>In a big way.

703
00:33:36.039 --> 00:33:38.640
<v Speaker 13>Yeah, I think so, especially against the Giants, a division rival,

704
00:33:38.720 --> 00:33:40.640
<v Speaker 13>and helping us to take the series from them.

705
00:33:40.839 --> 00:33:42.000
<v Speaker 6>It was a lot of funny yesterday.

706
00:33:42.160 --> 00:33:44.839
<v Speaker 12>Can you describe the feeling you had yesterday at Dodger

707
00:33:44.960 --> 00:33:47.599
<v Speaker 12>Stadium rounding the bases after you hit that home run?

708
00:33:47.960 --> 00:33:49.079
<v Speaker 6>Yeah?

709
00:33:49.240 --> 00:33:50.519
<v Speaker 13>I mean the last two and a half weeks has

710
00:33:50.559 --> 00:33:53.359
<v Speaker 13>been crazy for me, getting let go by the Giants

711
00:33:53.400 --> 00:33:55.599
<v Speaker 13>and then you know, really not getting any phone calls

712
00:33:55.640 --> 00:33:57.519
<v Speaker 13>for a long time and just being like, hey, is

713
00:33:57.559 --> 00:34:00.960
<v Speaker 13>this gonna happen at some point? And then the Dodgers

714
00:34:01.000 --> 00:34:03.039
<v Speaker 13>called late Tuesday night and we got it done and

715
00:34:03.599 --> 00:34:04.680
<v Speaker 13>flew out Wednesday morning.

716
00:34:04.759 --> 00:34:06.200
<v Speaker 6>It's just been a crazy few days.

717
00:34:06.240 --> 00:34:08.880
<v Speaker 13>And to be able to play the Giants and face

718
00:34:08.920 --> 00:34:10.480
<v Speaker 13>a team that just released you and hit a game

719
00:34:10.519 --> 00:34:11.960
<v Speaker 13>winning homer, only God can read.

720
00:34:11.800 --> 00:34:12.480
<v Speaker 6>A script like that.

721
00:34:12.840 --> 00:34:15.079
<v Speaker 12>Nick Imed is our guest in front of first pitch

722
00:34:15.119 --> 00:34:18.559
<v Speaker 12>in Houston. Everybody keeps asking me, how did you stay

723
00:34:18.599 --> 00:34:20.280
<v Speaker 12>ready for those two weeks?

724
00:34:20.280 --> 00:34:22.519
<v Speaker 5>How did you stay ready? You know?

725
00:34:22.559 --> 00:34:24.639
<v Speaker 13>The first few days, it would just take care of

726
00:34:24.639 --> 00:34:27.480
<v Speaker 13>my body, you know, get in the gym, get with

727
00:34:27.480 --> 00:34:30.159
<v Speaker 13>my physical therapist and make sure my body was healthy,

728
00:34:30.199 --> 00:34:32.400
<v Speaker 13>knowing that the opportunity would come, and just wanted to

729
00:34:32.440 --> 00:34:36.039
<v Speaker 13>make advantage take advantage of that physically, and then it

730
00:34:36.079 --> 00:34:38.119
<v Speaker 13>was just getting in the cage working. I made some

731
00:34:38.159 --> 00:34:41.000
<v Speaker 13>good adjustments actually right before I got released by the Giants,

732
00:34:41.000 --> 00:34:42.519
<v Speaker 13>so I feel like my swing was in a good

733
00:34:42.519 --> 00:34:44.320
<v Speaker 13>spot and didn't have to go make any swing changes

734
00:34:44.400 --> 00:34:46.119
<v Speaker 13>or overhaul. Is just continue to work on what I

735
00:34:46.159 --> 00:34:48.840
<v Speaker 13>was doing and then just kind of simulated, you know,

736
00:34:48.880 --> 00:34:50.519
<v Speaker 13>at bats as best I could with the guy throwing

737
00:34:50.519 --> 00:34:53.760
<v Speaker 13>to me, Danny Lutz down in Arizona, big help for me.

738
00:34:53.840 --> 00:34:55.559
<v Speaker 6>He was just throwing fastball, breaking.

739
00:34:55.320 --> 00:34:57.880
<v Speaker 13>Ball, and simulated at bats and we were just doing

740
00:34:57.920 --> 00:35:00.559
<v Speaker 13>situational stuff too, so it's his best I could without

741
00:35:00.559 --> 00:35:01.480
<v Speaker 13>facing the picture I was.

742
00:35:01.559 --> 00:35:02.360
<v Speaker 6>I was staying locked in.

743
00:35:02.519 --> 00:35:05.800
<v Speaker 12>Well, whatever you were doing a worked, continued success. Great

744

810
00:38:22.559 --> 00:38:23.440
<v Speaker 5>Tim, thanks again.

811
00:38:23.440 --> 00:38:26.719
<v Speaker 7>I'm roof closed here at Houston. Been raining outside since

812
00:38:26.760 --> 00:38:30.400
<v Speaker 7>the Dodgers arrived last night and been raining lightly this

813
00:38:30.480 --> 00:38:34.880
<v Speaker 7>afternoon all throughout the Greater Houston area, but dry indoors

814
00:38:34.960 --> 00:38:38.039
<v Speaker 7>on natural grass. As the Dodgers get set to take

815
00:38:38.079 --> 00:38:41.199
<v Speaker 7>on the Astros Game one of three, Gavin Stone will

816
00:38:41.199 --> 00:38:45.400
<v Speaker 7>make his first ever appearance against the Astros. Nine and

817
00:38:45.559 --> 00:38:48.960
<v Speaker 7>three for Stone, and in his last three starts mode

818
00:38:49.000 --> 00:38:52.119
<v Speaker 7>he hasn't thrown more than eighty pitches seventy seven, seventy

819
00:38:52.159 --> 00:38:55.199
<v Speaker 7>seven and eighty, so he really hasn't had to go

820
00:38:55.280 --> 00:38:57.559
<v Speaker 7>over eighty pitches to get his work done. But he

821
00:38:57.559 --> 00:38:59.280
<v Speaker 7>also hasn't gone very deep in ballgames.

822
00:38:59.320 --> 00:39:01.519
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, a couple things going to be watching, and certainly

823
00:39:01.599 --> 00:39:04.719
<v Speaker 8>the last three outings where that era is just under

824
00:39:04.800 --> 00:39:06.800
<v Speaker 8>six and a half runs and nine innings that he's

825
00:39:06.800 --> 00:39:08.840
<v Speaker 8>worked and only twelve and two thirds innings in that

826
00:39:08.920 --> 00:39:12.039
<v Speaker 8>period of time, but leading off innings, so he's faced

827
00:39:12.039 --> 00:39:15.039
<v Speaker 8>the leadoff hitters they're hitting at three twenty. That's one

828
00:39:15.079 --> 00:39:17.559
<v Speaker 8>ara that needs to take place a little bit better

829
00:39:17.920 --> 00:39:21.960
<v Speaker 8>as far as for Gavin Stone, not allowing that leadoff

830
00:39:22.000 --> 00:39:23.880
<v Speaker 8>hitter to get on base with the frequency of the

831
00:39:23.960 --> 00:39:26.199
<v Speaker 8>hamp to this particular point. The other part two is

832
00:39:26.599 --> 00:39:29.920
<v Speaker 8>you're looking at two guys Tonight Stone for the Dodgers,

833
00:39:30.000 --> 00:39:33.480
<v Speaker 8>Valdez for the Astros. It can throw some ground balls

834
00:39:33.480 --> 00:39:37.039
<v Speaker 8>and get double plays. Nine ground ball double plays by Stone,

835
00:39:37.119 --> 00:39:39.079
<v Speaker 8>but if you're looking at Valdez, I mean this is

836
00:39:39.119 --> 00:39:42.800
<v Speaker 8>off the charts. Twenty three grounded into double plays already

837
00:39:42.840 --> 00:39:45.719
<v Speaker 8>this season. He keeps the ball down Dodgers. Do not

838
00:39:45.880 --> 00:39:48.440
<v Speaker 8>chase the pitch downstairs. It'll get you into trouble.

839
00:39:48.480 --> 00:39:50.840
<v Speaker 7>I got to get the ball in the air against Valdez.

840
00:39:50.960 --> 00:39:54.280
<v Speaker 7>Houston has won his last five starts, and in that

841
00:39:54.360 --> 00:39:57.159
<v Speaker 7>time Valdez three and zero with an ERA under three.

842
00:39:57.239 --> 00:39:59.320
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, but he's had trouble in the first inning of

843
00:39:59.400 --> 00:40:02.880
<v Speaker 8>ball games this year, in fact, over a three hundred

844
00:40:03.000 --> 00:40:06.480
<v Speaker 8>batting average, but with two strikes. One thing to look

845
00:40:06.519 --> 00:40:09.320
<v Speaker 8>for for Valdez he throws a lot of bows, speed pitches,

846
00:40:09.360 --> 00:40:11.880
<v Speaker 8>and he throws a lot of pitches inside. With two strikes.

847
00:40:12.079 --> 00:40:14.199
<v Speaker 8>Dodgers know exactly what they have to do now. The

848
00:40:14.280 --> 00:40:17.519
<v Speaker 8>question is can they lay off those borderline pitches early

849
00:40:17.559 --> 00:40:18.280
<v Speaker 8>in the count.

850
00:40:18.199 --> 00:40:22.960
<v Speaker 7>Valdez against Stone, the Dodgers against the Astros. Game one lineups,

851
00:40:23.000 --> 00:40:24.719
<v Speaker 7>first pitch just around the corner.

852
00:40:24.519 --> 00:40:27.159

853
00:40:27.199 --> 00:40:29.199

854
00:40:29.239 --> 00:40:31.880

855
