00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:57.479

20
00:00:57.560 --> 00:01:01.240
<v Speaker 2>night at the Ravine Glass now was really good. Five

21
00:01:01.439 --> 00:01:05.319
<v Speaker 2>shutout inning, scattered just two hits along the way, struck

22
00:01:05.319 --> 00:01:08.879
<v Speaker 2>out eight seventy nine pitches before turning it over to

23
00:01:09.000 --> 00:01:12.719
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers' bullpen, who did their thing. The Dodgers offense, yep,

24
00:01:12.959 --> 00:01:15.719
<v Speaker 2>they did their thing. In the first inning, tay Oscar

25
00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:17.680
<v Speaker 2>Hernandez got the offense going.

26
00:01:18.239 --> 00:01:18.879
<v Speaker 3>Here's the pitch.

27
00:01:19.079 --> 00:01:22.239
<v Speaker 4>Ty Oscar hits it high in the ear deep center field,

28
00:01:22.519 --> 00:01:27.159
<v Speaker 4>carrying back toward the wall and gone into the netting below.

29
00:01:26.959 --> 00:01:27.840
<v Speaker 1>The batter's side.

30
00:01:27.959 --> 00:01:31.760
<v Speaker 4>Tayot's off then gift the Dodgers in early two nothing lead.

31
00:01:33.079 --> 00:01:34.840
<v Speaker 2>That's the top tier play of the game, brought to

32
00:01:34.840 --> 00:01:37.640
<v Speaker 2>you by Arco quality, top tier gas for less. Tay

33
00:01:37.640 --> 00:01:40.799
<v Speaker 2>Oscar Hernandez with the two run home run off Grant

34
00:01:40.840 --> 00:01:43.319
<v Speaker 2>Holmes in the first and the Dodgers jumped out to

35
00:01:43.359 --> 00:01:45.959
<v Speaker 2>the early two nothing late and then the third got

36
00:01:45.959 --> 00:01:49.799
<v Speaker 2>some base runners on for the newest Dodger, Michael Confordo.

37
00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:52.840
<v Speaker 4>Left Tanny Confordo calm and cool in the batner's box

38
00:01:52.920 --> 00:01:55.920
<v Speaker 4>waiting for this two to zero pitch, the sixtieth of

39
00:01:55.959 --> 00:02:01.719
<v Speaker 4>the night for Holmes. Plordo charges up left center field.

40
00:02:01.799 --> 00:02:05.400
<v Speaker 4>This will get off the top of the wall, a

41
00:02:05.480 --> 00:02:10.000
<v Speaker 4>laser for Michael Conforto, Mookie scores, ta Oscar held up

42
00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:13.439
<v Speaker 4>at third and RBI double for Michael Confordo, and it's

43
00:02:13.520 --> 00:02:15.560
<v Speaker 4>now free and up the Dodgers.

44
00:02:15.719 --> 00:02:19.039
<v Speaker 2>Michael Confordo with one off the wall, bringing in Mookie Betts,

45
00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:21.759
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers a three to nothing lead. Then Tommy Edmund a

46
00:02:21.960 --> 00:02:25.439
<v Speaker 2>sack fly scoring ta Oscar Hernandez, and the Dodgers were

47
00:02:25.479 --> 00:02:27.639
<v Speaker 2>up four to nothing. They weren't done. In the fifth

48
00:02:27.680 --> 00:02:30.479
<v Speaker 2>Will Smith with a single descenter of that scored te

49
00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:33.280
<v Speaker 2>Oscar and the Dodgers were up five to nothing. Then

50
00:02:33.319 --> 00:02:37.360
<v Speaker 2>in the sixth inning, keithk Hernandez with a deep four

51
00:02:37.520 --> 00:02:41.360
<v Speaker 2>hundred and twelve foot home run into the pavilion in

52
00:02:41.520 --> 00:02:45.240
<v Speaker 2>left field. Last night as the hit, Hernandez brothers Keith

53
00:02:45.319 --> 00:02:48.919
<v Speaker 2>K and tay Oscar both go deep last night, the

54
00:02:49.000 --> 00:02:52.599
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers go on and beat the Braves six to one.

55
00:02:52.759 --> 00:02:56.599
<v Speaker 2>Ta Oscar Hernandez drives in a pair RBIs for Key K,

56
00:02:56.840 --> 00:03:00.360
<v Speaker 2>Tommy Edmund, Will Smith, Michael Confordo. The Dodgers line up

57
00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:02.520
<v Speaker 2>getting a don showy Otani didn't have a hit, but

58
00:03:03.000 --> 00:03:05.960
<v Speaker 2>on base twice with a couple of walks. Mookie Betts

59
00:03:06.039 --> 00:03:08.599
<v Speaker 2>had a hit last night in the game. The Dodgers

60
00:03:08.719 --> 00:03:11.520
<v Speaker 2>win again as Tyler Glass now gets to the w

61
00:03:11.919 --> 00:03:14.280
<v Speaker 2>He's now one to oh on this season. The Dodgers

62
00:03:14.319 --> 00:03:17.159
<v Speaker 2>bullpen pitch well despite giving up just a run in

63
00:03:17.400 --> 00:03:20.560
<v Speaker 2>the eighth inning, as the Dodgers improved to six and

64
00:03:20.719 --> 00:03:24.039
<v Speaker 2>zero on this season, and tonight's they're back at it,

65
00:03:24.240 --> 00:03:27.599
<v Speaker 2>game two of this three game set against the Atlanta Braves.

66
00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:31.639
<v Speaker 2>Dustin May on the mound code read for the Dodgers

67
00:03:31.759 --> 00:03:34.159
<v Speaker 2>with more. We head out to the gallupin Motors Broadcast

68
00:03:34.199 --> 00:03:36.960
<v Speaker 2>booth as we say hello to Stephen Nelson and Rick Monday.

69
00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:40.400
<v Speaker 4>Guys, Thank you Tim. The Dodgers have started six and zero.

70
00:03:40.439 --> 00:03:42.840
<v Speaker 4>That matches the best start in La Dodger history. Rick

71
00:03:42.919 --> 00:03:45.400
<v Speaker 4>Monday's club in nineteen eighty one did it, and tonight

72
00:03:45.439 --> 00:03:48.159
<v Speaker 4>they have a chance to match the nineteen thirty three

73
00:03:48.280 --> 00:03:51.759
<v Speaker 4>Yankees by the best start by defending champion Mode. And

74
00:03:51.800 --> 00:03:55.560
<v Speaker 4>I think what is most noteworthy to me in this

75
00:03:55.680 --> 00:03:59.520
<v Speaker 4>six and oh start is that this team really hasn't

76
00:03:59.599 --> 00:04:02.840
<v Speaker 4>fired on all cylinders yet, but they have found a

77
00:04:02.879 --> 00:04:03.680
<v Speaker 4>way in every game.

78
00:04:03.759 --> 00:04:06.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and I think you can even accentuate that war

79
00:04:06.039 --> 00:04:09.039
<v Speaker 3>by saying the opposing teams have not come even close

80
00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:11.960
<v Speaker 3>though firing on half of the cylinders. And I mentioned

81
00:04:11.960 --> 00:04:15.479
<v Speaker 3>that because doing some math early this morning, the Dodgers,

82
00:04:15.479 --> 00:04:18.279
<v Speaker 3>for example, when they'd had runners in scoring position so

83
00:04:18.439 --> 00:04:21.240
<v Speaker 3>far and being six and zero, have hit three hundred.

84
00:04:21.920 --> 00:04:24.319
<v Speaker 3>The opposing teams if you look at the Coms and

85
00:04:24.360 --> 00:04:27.839
<v Speaker 3>Detroit Tigers, and then last night too with the Atlanta Braves, collectively,

86
00:04:28.240 --> 00:04:31.319
<v Speaker 3>they're six for fifty two. That's only a one fifteen

87
00:04:31.439 --> 00:04:35.160
<v Speaker 3>batting average. Again, so I mean that it has not done.

88
00:04:35.519 --> 00:04:38.680
<v Speaker 3>But there's a couple of reasons for that. The dodge

89
00:04:38.680 --> 00:04:41.160
<v Speaker 3>of pitching has been absolutely marvelous, in particular out of

90
00:04:41.160 --> 00:04:43.040
<v Speaker 3>the bullpen, and the dodge is what they have done

91
00:04:43.319 --> 00:04:46.120
<v Speaker 3>has gotten very timely hints, but you can't knock in

92
00:04:46.240 --> 00:04:48.439
<v Speaker 3>runs that are not on base. They're getting on base

93
00:04:48.480 --> 00:04:50.639
<v Speaker 3>and they're not expanding the strength zone. The reason I

94
00:04:50.720 --> 00:04:53.720
<v Speaker 3>say that is that they're facing a guy tonight in

95
00:04:53.800 --> 00:04:57.680
<v Speaker 3>Chris Sale, a very tough left handed He has a

96
00:04:57.759 --> 00:05:00.680
<v Speaker 3>very high percentage of chase rate. So the Dodgers have

97
00:05:00.759 --> 00:05:03.519
<v Speaker 3>to be selective tonight and not chase and go fishing.

98
00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:07.680
<v Speaker 4>The Dodgers haven't seen Sale at Dodgers Stadium since the

99
00:05:07.800 --> 00:05:09.839
<v Speaker 4>ninth inning of Game five to the twenty eighteen World

100
00:05:09.920 --> 00:05:11.920
<v Speaker 4>Series when he was with the Boston Red Sox. Now

101
00:05:12.079 --> 00:05:14.319
<v Speaker 4>he's the rating National League Say Young Award winner. But

102
00:05:14.360 --> 00:05:16.360
<v Speaker 4>to your point about the Dodger offense, last night, they

103
00:05:16.360 --> 00:05:18.560
<v Speaker 4>showed just how difficult and pesky they are. I mean,

104
00:05:18.600 --> 00:05:21.079
<v Speaker 4>seven of the nine hits they had in the game

105
00:05:21.160 --> 00:05:23.680
<v Speaker 4>came with two strikes. Eleven two strike base runners. So

106
00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:26.360
<v Speaker 4>this is just and we're talking about not firing on

107
00:05:26.399 --> 00:05:28.560
<v Speaker 4>all similars. They haven't even been running on all sooners.

108
00:05:28.600 --> 00:05:31.360
<v Speaker 4>We've seen Mookie Betts for three games. Freddy Freeman was

109
00:05:31.399 --> 00:05:33.720
<v Speaker 4>out again last night. He is going to be out

110
00:05:33.879 --> 00:05:36.639
<v Speaker 4>again to start tonight. He's still day to day. Dave

111
00:05:36.720 --> 00:05:39.959
<v Speaker 4>Roberts said before tonight's contest he is hopeful to have

112
00:05:40.000 --> 00:05:42.839
<v Speaker 4>Freddie back in there for the series finale against Atlanta.

113
00:05:43.199 --> 00:05:45.839
<v Speaker 4>Key k Hernandezmit it's time with that stomach bug too.

114
00:05:45.879 --> 00:05:49.560
<v Speaker 4>So all in all, it is just illustrated and underscored

115
00:05:49.959 --> 00:05:51.160
<v Speaker 4>how deep this team is.

116
00:05:51.279 --> 00:05:53.399
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and when they walked six times and they also

117
00:05:53.759 --> 00:05:56.360
<v Speaker 3>struck out only six times, so they're getting on base

118
00:05:56.480 --> 00:05:58.839
<v Speaker 3>and they're basically putting the ball into play, you have

119
00:05:58.920 --> 00:06:01.199
<v Speaker 3>a chance to it to get base hits. If you

120
00:06:01.240 --> 00:06:03.399
<v Speaker 3>put in a play. You know what's really been overlooked.

121
00:06:03.519 --> 00:06:06.519
<v Speaker 3>The Dodgers defensively have also been right on the money too,

122
00:06:06.519 --> 00:06:08.839
<v Speaker 3>and that kind of gets overlooked. Their cutoffs and relays,

123
00:06:08.959 --> 00:06:11.879
<v Speaker 3>awareness of what's happening on the field. Don't discount that

124
00:06:12.000 --> 00:06:14.079
<v Speaker 3>defense because it'll get you out a lot of jams.

125
00:06:14.120 --> 00:06:15.800
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, they're catching the ball, they're throwing the ball to

126
00:06:15.920 --> 00:06:18.720
<v Speaker 4>doing a lot of the little things well, which great

127
00:06:18.720 --> 00:06:21.240
<v Speaker 4>teams do. And the Dodgers, of course, the defending and

128
00:06:21.319 --> 00:06:23.439
<v Speaker 4>reigning World Series champions, they know.

129
00:06:23.439 --> 00:06:24.199
<v Speaker 3>They are just that.

130
00:06:24.319 --> 00:06:27.480
<v Speaker 4>They have also hit fourteen home runs this season, at

131
00:06:27.600 --> 00:06:30.319
<v Speaker 4>least two home runs in five straight games. It's gonna

132
00:06:30.360 --> 00:06:32.959
<v Speaker 4>be tough to keep that streak alive against the Cy

133
00:06:33.040 --> 00:06:35.800
<v Speaker 4>Young Award winner Chris Sale, who is gonna be opposite

134
00:06:35.879 --> 00:06:38.639
<v Speaker 4>Dustin May. Can't wait to dive into the this pitching matchup.

135
00:06:38.680 --> 00:06:41.079
<v Speaker 4>Tim will do that with Mo the next time we chat.

<v Speaker 1>Y'all on the official home of La Dodgers Baseball.

152
00:07:28.079 --> 00:07:32.360
<v Speaker 2>It's a Dodgers and the Braves. Dustin May, Chris Sail

153
00:07:32.439 --> 00:07:35.120
<v Speaker 2>the pitching matchup. First pitch coming up at seventen.

154
00:07:36.079 --> 00:07:38.079
<v Speaker 1>This is the Otani.

155
00:07:40.160 --> 00:07:44.759
<v Speaker 4>Rewide, but entering this series, he's really not expanding too much.

156
00:07:46.519 --> 00:07:48.959
<v Speaker 4>He's on first, he takes off for second. The pitch

157
00:07:49.000 --> 00:07:51.120
<v Speaker 4>Tabooki's in the dirt. The throw is not gonna matter.

158
00:07:51.240 --> 00:07:54.399
<v Speaker 4>Another stolen base for Sho Hey Otani, he gets into

159
00:07:54.480 --> 00:07:56.519
<v Speaker 4>scoring position here in the sixth.

160
00:07:56.319 --> 00:07:58.759
<v Speaker 2>Shoey Otani can do it all. Didn't have a hit

161
00:07:58.839 --> 00:08:01.319
<v Speaker 2>last night, but scored a run as he walked twice.

162
00:08:01.800 --> 00:08:05.680
<v Speaker 2>Stolen based number two already on this season for Shure.

163
00:08:06.360 --> 00:08:10.240
<v Speaker 1>This is Kirston's corner with Kirston Watson.

169
00:08:23.000 --> 00:08:26.519
<v Speaker 2>shower over the weekend and not in the lineup again tonight.

170
00:08:26.879 --> 00:08:28.879
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, he's not in the lineup. They're hoping he was

171
00:08:28.920 --> 00:08:31.600
<v Speaker 5>going to be back out there, but as you mentioned,

172
00:08:31.639 --> 00:08:34.480
<v Speaker 5>he slipped in the shower on Sunday morning, and he

173
00:08:34.799 --> 00:08:37.080
<v Speaker 5>when he spoke to the media today he explained just

174
00:08:37.159 --> 00:08:40.399
<v Speaker 5>kind of how everything happened. He actually was kind of

175
00:08:40.440 --> 00:08:42.480
<v Speaker 5>using one of the guest rooms in his home because

176
00:08:42.519 --> 00:08:45.039
<v Speaker 5>they were dealing with a leak in their master bathroom

177
00:08:45.080 --> 00:08:47.480
<v Speaker 5>and it's a bathtub, so how he stepped in, he

178
00:08:47.559 --> 00:08:50.000
<v Speaker 5>kind of just lost his footing and it happened to

179
00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:52.360
<v Speaker 5>be on that ankle that is surgically repaired, and so

180
00:08:52.440 --> 00:08:55.799
<v Speaker 5>he ended up tweaking it. He immediately came in for treatment,

181
00:08:55.960 --> 00:08:58.879
<v Speaker 5>and as much as you know, this is an ankle

182
00:08:58.919 --> 00:09:03.279
<v Speaker 5>as we've talked about to have surgery this offseason, was

183
00:09:03.320 --> 00:09:06.360
<v Speaker 5>able to get back still undergoing treatment. Had pretty much

184
00:09:06.360 --> 00:09:09.240
<v Speaker 5>gotten to like his treatment scheduled down to like fifty minutes,

185
00:09:09.360 --> 00:09:12.120
<v Speaker 5>but now it's brought back up to about three hours,

186
00:09:12.159 --> 00:09:14.639
<v Speaker 5>so it's something that it's going to take a little

187
00:09:14.639 --> 00:09:16.679
<v Speaker 5>bit more time. He did have an X ray it

188
00:09:16.720 --> 00:09:19.440
<v Speaker 5>was clear no bone tips or anything like that, so

189
00:09:19.600 --> 00:09:21.840
<v Speaker 5>that's a really good sign. He's able to get through

190
00:09:21.840 --> 00:09:24.000
<v Speaker 5>a full workout today, So the hope is that maybe

191
00:09:24.000 --> 00:09:27.000
<v Speaker 5>he'll be in the lineup tomorrow. But there's also the

192
00:09:27.039 --> 00:09:29.320
<v Speaker 5>thought of, Okay, they're about to travel across the country

193
00:09:29.360 --> 00:09:31.399
<v Speaker 5>and play in Philly and then DC where it is

194
00:09:31.519 --> 00:09:34.480
<v Speaker 5>chili and rainy at the moment, so it might make

195
00:09:34.519 --> 00:09:37.679
<v Speaker 5>sense to give him the additional day off for that travel.

196
00:09:37.960 --> 00:09:38.559
<v Speaker 2>But we'll see.

197
00:09:38.600 --> 00:09:40.039
<v Speaker 5>So he wants to be back out there, as we

198
00:09:40.080 --> 00:09:41.720
<v Speaker 5>all know, and we'll kind of see how things play

199
00:09:41.759 --> 00:09:42.360
<v Speaker 5>out tomorrow.

200
00:09:42.480 --> 00:09:45.159
<v Speaker 2>Speaking of being back out there, Dustin may back out

201
00:09:45.159 --> 00:09:46.720
<v Speaker 2>there for the first time in a long time.

202
00:09:46.960 --> 00:09:48.720
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, the first time in a long time. And he

203
00:09:48.879 --> 00:09:52.799
<v Speaker 5>is someone who it's been a very challenging few years

204
00:09:52.799 --> 00:09:55.799
<v Speaker 5>for him, whether it was the tendon surgery then the

205
00:09:56.159 --> 00:10:00.759
<v Speaker 5>extreme scare with esophagus surgery and life threatening and you realize,

206
00:10:00.799 --> 00:10:03.360
<v Speaker 5>you know, this game in the in this career, you

207
00:10:03.440 --> 00:10:06.039
<v Speaker 5>can't take it for granted. So he comes into this

208
00:10:06.080 --> 00:10:09.840
<v Speaker 5>one with a different mindset, a different just a maturity

209
00:10:09.879 --> 00:10:12.360
<v Speaker 5>and understanding about who he is as a man. So

210
00:10:12.799 --> 00:10:16.399
<v Speaker 5>this one, he's been very adamant and very transparent with

211
00:10:16.480 --> 00:10:18.519
<v Speaker 5>us that this is going to be an emotional day

212
00:10:18.559 --> 00:10:21.279
<v Speaker 5>for him, for his family. Uh, and it's going to

213
00:10:21.320 --> 00:10:23.120
<v Speaker 5>be a special one. So I think we're going to

214
00:10:23.200 --> 00:10:24.960
<v Speaker 5>see that from him on the mound. We're going to

215
00:10:25.000 --> 00:10:28.080
<v Speaker 5>see some of those emotions are going to see I

216
00:10:28.120 --> 00:10:31.000
<v Speaker 5>hope we see the excitement in the gratitude at the

217
00:10:31.080 --> 00:10:32.879
<v Speaker 5>end of his outing. I think we will. He's of course,

218
00:10:32.879 --> 00:10:36.000
<v Speaker 5>of competitor, so I'll say that as well. But everyone

219
00:10:36.000 --> 00:10:38.440
<v Speaker 5>I know, they've talked about him, is the stuff looks

220
00:10:38.559 --> 00:10:41.600
<v Speaker 5>really good and they're just excited for him to be

221
00:10:41.679 --> 00:10:44.440
<v Speaker 5>back out on a big league mound in a big

222
00:10:44.559 --> 00:10:46.000
<v Speaker 5>league game. Because it'll be special.

223
00:10:46.360 --> 00:10:48.799
<v Speaker 2>It will be special. Hopefully you can follow in the footsteps.

224
00:10:48.799 --> 00:10:50.840
<v Speaker 2>So what the other starters have done so far the

225
00:10:50.840 --> 00:10:52.960
<v Speaker 2>first six games, scaristn. We appreciate it. We will check

226
00:10:52.960 --> 00:10:54.879
<v Speaker 2>in with you after the game. Still they come here

227
00:10:54.879 --> 00:10:56.799

228
00:10:56.840 --> 00:10:59.639
<v Speaker 2>deeper into this pinching matchup, David Beatt saying, we'll join us.

<v Speaker 2>next we'll hear from the manager himself, Dave Roberts. The

232
00:11:07.639 --> 00:11:10.279
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers and Braves. First pitch is seven ten. I'm Tim

233
00:11:10.320 --> 00:11:13.240
<v Speaker 2>Keats's the world champion Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.

234

<v Speaker 1>Well, this is Marongo Cassino Dodgers Hunt game on your

235
00:11:21.399 --> 00:11:23.639
<v Speaker 1>home for La Dodgers Baseball.

236
00:11:24.600 --> 00:11:27.639
<v Speaker 2>Marongo Casino Dodgers on Deck continues on this Tuesday night,

237
00:11:27.720 --> 00:11:30.480
<v Speaker 2>as we lead you up to first pitch Dodgers and

238
00:11:30.559 --> 00:11:33.679
<v Speaker 2>Braves on this CHILEI evening, Marongo Casino Resort and Spa,

239
00:11:34.279 --> 00:11:37.559
<v Speaker 2>a grand slam for good times. Dustin May, Chris Sale.

240
00:11:37.559 --> 00:11:39.600
<v Speaker 2>The pitching matchup, first pitch set for seven ten.

241
00:11:39.919 --> 00:11:44.440
<v Speaker 1>This is the La Dodgers Injury.

242
00:11:44.080 --> 00:11:47.279
<v Speaker 2>Report presented by UCLA Health, the official medical partner the

243
00:11:47.360 --> 00:11:50.919
<v Speaker 2>Los Angeles Dodgers. Eleven star pitchers on the il to

244
00:11:50.919 --> 00:11:54.879
<v Speaker 2>start the season for the Dodgers, including Evan Phillips, Michael Kopek,

245
00:11:55.200 --> 00:11:59.879
<v Speaker 2>Clayton Kershaw, Michael Grove, Bruis, Dar graderol and Tony Ganz,

246
00:12:00.279 --> 00:12:02.879
<v Speaker 2>who is back is feeling better and continuing to throw.

247
00:12:02.960 --> 00:12:06.080
<v Speaker 2>Clayton Kershaw throwing as well, So that is certainly trending

248
00:12:06.120 --> 00:12:08.559
<v Speaker 2>in the right direction for the future of Hall of Famer.

249
00:12:08.679 --> 00:12:11.039
<v Speaker 2>Freddy Freeman, not in the lineup again, says he feels

250
00:12:11.039 --> 00:12:13.000
<v Speaker 2>a lot better. Got treatment on that right ankle that

251
00:12:13.039 --> 00:12:16.399
<v Speaker 2>he slipped in the shower tub on Sunday morning. Let's

252
00:12:16.440 --> 00:12:17.840
<v Speaker 2>up find out more as you check out the Dodgers

253
00:12:17.879 --> 00:12:21.440
<v Speaker 2>get burned. Any questions for Dave Dave?

254
00:12:21.559 --> 00:12:24.399
<v Speaker 1>Can you just describe Dave? Can you talk about the

255
00:12:24.440 --> 00:12:28.120
<v Speaker 1>pressure in the dugouts with Dave Roberts.

256
00:12:29.600 --> 00:12:31.200
<v Speaker 6>This is going to be a special and I think

257
00:12:31.240 --> 00:12:34.799
<v Speaker 6>that it's been a nice progression for Dustin with spring

258
00:12:34.879 --> 00:12:39.960
<v Speaker 6>training than to pitch in the Freeway Series, be able

259
00:12:40.000 --> 00:12:43.039
<v Speaker 6>to pitch in a big league stadium, and now now

260
00:12:43.159 --> 00:12:46.360
<v Speaker 6>ultimately pitching in a big league stadium in a meaningful game.

261
00:12:46.960 --> 00:12:49.000
<v Speaker 6>So I think that this is sort of the final

262
00:12:49.120 --> 00:12:52.039
<v Speaker 6>hurdle for him on the I think on the emotional side,

263
00:12:52.080 --> 00:12:55.600
<v Speaker 6>so I know he's fired up. Our first four guys

264
00:12:55.600 --> 00:12:57.879
<v Speaker 6>have made their starts and this is his debut for

265
00:12:57.960 --> 00:13:01.440
<v Speaker 6>twenty five and expecting to be amped up in.

266
00:13:02.440 --> 00:13:06.399
<v Speaker 1>Time and matter points. So your reflect on him a

267
00:13:06.440 --> 00:13:09.360
<v Speaker 1>few years ago to who he has amped the meaner

268
00:13:09.360 --> 00:13:09.919
<v Speaker 1>on the mound?

269
00:13:10.080 --> 00:13:13.720
<v Speaker 5>What stands out to you the growth and especially coming

270
00:13:13.759 --> 00:13:15.320
<v Speaker 5>onto that sad he's scared.

271
00:13:16.960 --> 00:13:20.519
<v Speaker 6>I think perspective is a word that comes to mind,

272
00:13:20.559 --> 00:13:24.200
<v Speaker 6>in the sense that he's had some injuries that he's

273
00:13:24.200 --> 00:13:27.440
<v Speaker 6>had to deal with, so it's kind of really made

274
00:13:27.519 --> 00:13:30.360
<v Speaker 6>him appreciate being able to take them out being active

275
00:13:30.600 --> 00:13:34.840
<v Speaker 6>in the big leagues. I think that early on there

276
00:13:34.879 --> 00:13:39.799
<v Speaker 6>was a lot of youthful enthusiasm emotion. I think now

277
00:13:39.840 --> 00:13:42.600
<v Speaker 6>that he's understanding how to channel it better, how to

278
00:13:42.639 --> 00:13:47.200
<v Speaker 6>conserve energy into his starts. So I think that's certainly growth.

279
00:13:48.879 --> 00:13:50.879
<v Speaker 6>But yeah, I think that it's just like all things.

280
00:13:50.879 --> 00:13:54.120
<v Speaker 6>As you get experience different experiences, you kind of have

281
00:13:54.159 --> 00:13:55.440
<v Speaker 6>a different perspective on things.

282
00:13:55.919 --> 00:13:58.960
<v Speaker 7>He started the growth for the fuse that are hopefully

283
00:13:59.039 --> 00:14:05.360
<v Speaker 7>to talk to much stressure with so straight start figure.

284
00:14:05.200 --> 00:14:06.039
<v Speaker 4>Will work with us.

285
00:14:06.320 --> 00:14:09.399
<v Speaker 6>You know, yeah, he needs it, he needs it, and

286
00:14:10.320 --> 00:14:13.960
<v Speaker 6>so yeah, obviously he looks great. He's throwing the baseball well,

287
00:14:14.000 --> 00:14:16.840
<v Speaker 6>but for any pitcher, but certainly a guy that's missed

288
00:14:16.840 --> 00:14:18.879
<v Speaker 6>a lot of time just to kind of be able

289
00:14:18.919 --> 00:14:23.000
<v Speaker 6>to make consistent starts and to get some type of momentum,

290
00:14:23.759 --> 00:14:26.159
<v Speaker 6>that's something we just really haven't had, or Dustin hasn't

291
00:14:26.200 --> 00:14:27.240
<v Speaker 6>had in quite some time.

292
00:14:27.840 --> 00:14:29.639
<v Speaker 2>Good to have Dustin May back on the mount. He

293
00:14:29.720 --> 00:14:31.919
<v Speaker 2>was off to a great start a couple of years ago,

294
00:14:32.360 --> 00:14:35.919
<v Speaker 2>but hurt his arm after nine outings and was pitching well,

295
00:14:36.159 --> 00:14:38.440
<v Speaker 2>and then of course had the throat injury last year.

296
00:14:38.919 --> 00:14:41.720
<v Speaker 2>Was able to come back from that and the arm injury,

297
00:14:41.759 --> 00:14:43.519
<v Speaker 2>but miss all of twenty twenty four, and here he

298
00:14:43.639 --> 00:14:46.600
<v Speaker 2>is started twenty twenty five, hopefully a big season for

299
00:14:46.879 --> 00:14:49.080
<v Speaker 2>Code Read Will we continue here on Dodgers on Deck.

<v Speaker 8>I accept everybody for who they are.

314
00:15:31.200 --> 00:15:34.360
<v Speaker 1>This is Dodger insider David Basse.

315
00:15:35.000 --> 00:15:37.480
<v Speaker 2>All right, DV the shower at the tub give you

316
00:15:37.519 --> 00:15:40.559
<v Speaker 2>a dangerous spot, and they got Freddie Freeman. But thankfully

317
00:15:40.559 --> 00:15:41.080
<v Speaker 2>he's on the men.

318
00:15:42.039 --> 00:15:46.200
<v Speaker 8>Not an ideal situation, Tim, but Freddie Freeman has a

319
00:15:46.240 --> 00:15:50.080
<v Speaker 8>good sense of humor about things. Because the right ankle

320
00:15:50.440 --> 00:15:54.799
<v Speaker 8>was not set back too far. Obviously not ideal, but

321
00:15:55.519 --> 00:15:57.600
<v Speaker 8>it could have been a lot worse. We had a

322
00:15:57.679 --> 00:16:00.000
<v Speaker 8>chance to catch up with Freddie Freeman earlier today.

323
00:16:00.879 --> 00:16:03.120
<v Speaker 7>You know, you slipping bathtub showers all the time, and

324
00:16:03.159 --> 00:16:05.399
<v Speaker 7>when you're healthy, you just catch yourself. And when you're not,

325
00:16:05.720 --> 00:16:08.679
<v Speaker 7>when you got a little surgically repaired ankle. It's it

326
00:16:08.799 --> 00:16:10.759
<v Speaker 7>just it mostly. I think it just flared. Everything kind

327
00:16:10.799 --> 00:16:13.200
<v Speaker 7>of back up, and I was a little sore and

328
00:16:13.279 --> 00:16:16.679
<v Speaker 7>sore on the inside still, but I'm feeling much better.

329
00:16:17.519 --> 00:16:21.279
<v Speaker 7>So yesterday was a good day. I treated like from

330
00:16:21.320 --> 00:16:24.720
<v Speaker 7>when I got here Sunday morning around eleven fifteen, because

331
00:16:24.720 --> 00:16:27.039
<v Speaker 7>I came immediately. I called Thomas. I was like, all

332
00:16:27.080 --> 00:16:27.799
<v Speaker 7>hands on deck.

333
00:16:27.879 --> 00:16:28.600
<v Speaker 1>I just fell.

334
00:16:29.799 --> 00:16:32.480
<v Speaker 7>And by the time I left daughter Stadium on Sunday

335
00:16:32.480 --> 00:16:36.519
<v Speaker 7>afternoon around two, I could drive home like Chelsea drove

336
00:16:36.559 --> 00:16:38.840
<v Speaker 7>me to the field Sunday morning, and then I was

337
00:16:38.879 --> 00:16:41.720
<v Speaker 7>able to drive home, so big that was a big progress,

338
00:16:41.720 --> 00:16:44.399
<v Speaker 7>big relief. Really, I've had an X ray. There's no

339
00:16:44.600 --> 00:16:46.000
<v Speaker 7>little chips or anything like that.

340
00:16:47.559 --> 00:16:50.399
<v Speaker 8>Good news for the Dodgers, and they're all Star and

341
00:16:50.559 --> 00:16:55.120
<v Speaker 8>World Series MVP. One thing to just clarify, you heard

342
00:16:55.120 --> 00:16:58.639
<v Speaker 8>Freddy Freeman talk about Sunday morning coming to Dodger Stadium.

343
00:16:59.000 --> 00:17:01.279
<v Speaker 8>That makes a lot more sense than what we heard

344
00:17:01.360 --> 00:17:05.279
<v Speaker 8>yesterday from Dave Roberts, where he said Freddy slipped and

345
00:17:05.319 --> 00:17:08.839
<v Speaker 8>fell in the shower on Saturday night. The Dodgers played

346
00:17:08.839 --> 00:17:12.640
<v Speaker 8>a game on Saturday night. That would have meant Freddie

347
00:17:12.640 --> 00:17:15.640
<v Speaker 8>Freeman was taking two showers after the game.

348
00:17:15.839 --> 00:17:17.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, maybe he's a guy likes his hygiene. David is

349
00:17:18.000 --> 00:17:20.279
<v Speaker 2>driven by Ford. There's one thing we like. His choices

350
00:17:20.319 --> 00:17:22.000
<v Speaker 2>Fine yours with the Ford F one to fifty gas

351
00:17:22.079 --> 00:17:24.480
<v Speaker 2>hybrid all electric. Tough. This mark can only be called

352
00:17:24.640 --> 00:17:27.200
<v Speaker 2>F one fifty. Dustin May a tough guy, and he's

353
00:17:27.240 --> 00:17:29.880
<v Speaker 2>worked his way back from a couple of incidents and injuries.

354
00:17:30.839 --> 00:17:33.880
<v Speaker 8>A lot of family and friends here at Dodgers Stadium

355
00:17:33.920 --> 00:17:37.680
<v Speaker 8>tim for Dustin May to make his first major league

356
00:17:37.720 --> 00:17:41.720
<v Speaker 8>start since May of twenty twenty three. He was already

357
00:17:41.759 --> 00:17:45.759
<v Speaker 8>feeling those emotions when he pitched during the Freeway Series

358
00:17:45.759 --> 00:17:46.799
<v Speaker 8>in Anaheims.

359
00:17:47.000 --> 00:17:49.160
<v Speaker 9>I feel like there's gonna be a lot more emotions

360
00:17:49.279 --> 00:17:52.839
<v Speaker 9>for me because of all the time that I've had

361
00:17:52.880 --> 00:17:55.680
<v Speaker 9>to think about it. When I first got called up

362
00:17:55.680 --> 00:17:57.279
<v Speaker 9>for my debut, I mean it was like a four

363
00:17:57.359 --> 00:18:00.559
<v Speaker 9>day thing, so it was like kind of right on it.

364
00:17:59.799 --> 00:18:02.319
<v Speaker 9>But for this, I mean, I've been I was waiting

365
00:18:02.359 --> 00:18:04.960
<v Speaker 9>for I don't know, thirteen months, and then the esophagus

366
00:18:05.000 --> 00:18:08.440
<v Speaker 9>thing happened, and then that changed my perspective on a

367
00:18:08.440 --> 00:18:14.160
<v Speaker 9>lot of things in life. And it's gonna it's I'm excited,

368
00:18:14.279 --> 00:18:15.640
<v Speaker 9>just gonna put it that way, I'm excited.

369
00:18:16.519 --> 00:18:19.440
<v Speaker 8>A big night for Dustin May, looking to help the

370
00:18:19.519 --> 00:18:23.279
<v Speaker 8>Dodgers improve. Their record is seven and zero, but obviously

371
00:18:23.400 --> 00:18:26.839
<v Speaker 8>for him a very personal gratifying moment, even taking the

372
00:18:26.880 --> 00:18:29.000
<v Speaker 8>mountain night at Dodgers Stadium.

373
00:18:29.240 --> 00:18:31.519
<v Speaker 2>Dam of the Dodgers have a lot of superstars and

374
00:18:31.599 --> 00:18:34.200
<v Speaker 2>all stars on their team and on that lineup every

375
00:18:34.240 --> 00:18:37.279
<v Speaker 2>single night. Will Smith kind of one of those forgotten guys,

376
00:18:37.319 --> 00:18:39.000
<v Speaker 2>if you will. But what a start he's having.

377
00:18:39.759 --> 00:18:42.640
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, really an unbelievable start for Will Smith. And it

378
00:18:42.680 --> 00:18:46.240
<v Speaker 8>goes back to the Tokyo Series in Japan where he

379
00:18:46.359 --> 00:18:50.319
<v Speaker 8>was on base virtually every time at the plate. He's

380
00:18:50.319 --> 00:18:53.000
<v Speaker 8>six for fourteen to start the year. Last night he

381
00:18:53.039 --> 00:18:56.359
<v Speaker 8>had two hits with two strikes on him, including an

382
00:18:56.440 --> 00:18:59.680
<v Speaker 8>RBI base hit to score te Oscar Hernandez in the

383
00:18:59.680 --> 00:19:01.039
<v Speaker 8>fifth thinning last night.

384
00:19:01.440 --> 00:19:02.960
<v Speaker 1>Not to mention, he has.

385
00:19:02.880 --> 00:19:06.559
<v Speaker 8>Six walks to start the season in his first twenty

386
00:19:06.640 --> 00:19:09.759
<v Speaker 8>plate appearances. He's picked up where he left off in

387
00:19:09.799 --> 00:19:12.759
<v Speaker 8>the first half of last year. And don't forget the

388
00:19:12.799 --> 00:19:15.680
<v Speaker 8>majority of the season he was dealing with a right

389
00:19:15.839 --> 00:19:19.799
<v Speaker 8>ankle bone bruise that he never mentioned that anybody, even

390
00:19:19.839 --> 00:19:22.799
<v Speaker 8>on the staff outside of the training staff and just

391
00:19:22.880 --> 00:19:26.720
<v Speaker 8>continue to play through it. So Will Smith certainly a

392
00:19:26.799 --> 00:19:28.960
<v Speaker 8>guy that you want to have on your side.

393
00:19:28.839 --> 00:19:30.759
<v Speaker 2>No doubt about it. DV appreciate well. Check back in

394

<v Speaker 2>gonna be dealing more than four strikeouts. How about Mookie

451
00:22:40.119 --> 00:22:42.720
<v Speaker 2>Betts more or less a half a hit? Come on,

452
00:22:42.799 --> 00:22:45.000
<v Speaker 2>Mookie Bets is gonna get after Chris Sale and then

453
00:22:45.000 --> 00:22:47.319
<v Speaker 2>that Braves Bullpen. He's gonna get at least a hit, right,

454
00:22:47.359 --> 00:22:49.519
<v Speaker 2>So I say more than a half a hit for

455
00:22:49.640 --> 00:22:52.559
<v Speaker 2>Mookie Betts. Don't forget use the code go blue when

456
00:22:52.599 --> 00:22:55.039
<v Speaker 2>you sign up at Prize Picks. Run your game.

457
00:22:55.759 --> 00:22:59.480
<v Speaker 1>And now joined by David Bass saying, here's La Dodgers

458
00:22:59.559 --> 00:23:04.359
<v Speaker 1>broad and World Series champion Dodger Rick Monday.

459
00:23:05.000 --> 00:23:08.599
<v Speaker 8>Rick, the Dodgers' offense did not need any torpedo bats

460
00:23:08.680 --> 00:23:11.400
<v Speaker 8>last night to score six runs. That seems to be

461
00:23:11.480 --> 00:23:15.680
<v Speaker 8>the topic of conversation every single corner of Major League base.

462
00:23:15.640 --> 00:23:19.079
<v Speaker 3>It is, and I was reading about it again today

463
00:23:19.680 --> 00:23:21.799
<v Speaker 3>and there's a lot of people that have a misconception.

464
00:23:21.960 --> 00:23:24.880
<v Speaker 3>First of all, it's not an illegal bat. And if

465
00:23:24.880 --> 00:23:27.160
<v Speaker 3>you look at the rule book, it's rule three point

466
00:23:27.359 --> 00:23:30.559
<v Speaker 3>zero two, and three point zero two says basically, the

467
00:23:30.599 --> 00:23:32.480
<v Speaker 3>wood has to be the bat has to be made

468
00:23:32.480 --> 00:23:35.640
<v Speaker 3>of one piece of wood. It cannot be laminated, and

469
00:23:36.240 --> 00:23:38.559
<v Speaker 3>it cannot be more than two point six to one

470
00:23:38.680 --> 00:23:42.000
<v Speaker 3>inches in diameter at any point on the bat. It

471
00:23:42.079 --> 00:23:46.000
<v Speaker 3>can also not be more than forty two inches in length. Well,

472
00:23:46.039 --> 00:23:49.480
<v Speaker 3>this bat that they're talking about falls under the category

473
00:23:49.759 --> 00:23:53.640
<v Speaker 3>of rule three point zero two. I happen to have

474
00:23:53.680 --> 00:23:56.319
<v Speaker 3>a different thought on this thing. I'm not saying it's

475
00:23:56.400 --> 00:23:59.920
<v Speaker 3>totally a mental placebo, but I don't think it's far

476
00:24:00.119 --> 00:24:03.319
<v Speaker 3>from it. And here's one Volpi is the New York

477
00:24:03.400 --> 00:24:05.640
<v Speaker 3>Yankees hitter that they talked about to begin with, and

478
00:24:05.720 --> 00:24:07.480
<v Speaker 3>this physicist came up with an idea. I don't think

479
00:24:07.480 --> 00:24:09.920
<v Speaker 3>it's a bad idea, first of all. And if it

480
00:24:09.960 --> 00:24:12.039
<v Speaker 3>works for you and you feel comfortable with it, that's

481
00:24:12.079 --> 00:24:15.079
<v Speaker 3>the biggest thing with the bat. The bat that they're

482
00:24:15.079 --> 00:24:18.680
<v Speaker 3>talking about, to me, resembles if you're looking at Louisville

483
00:24:18.720 --> 00:24:22.000
<v Speaker 3>Sluggers an R one sixty one, which is the model

484
00:24:22.000 --> 00:24:25.480
<v Speaker 3>that Frank Robinson used. And the reason that I mentioned

485
00:24:25.680 --> 00:24:28.359
<v Speaker 3>the one yar Win sixty one is that the barrel

486
00:24:28.400 --> 00:24:31.359
<v Speaker 3>of the bat came closer to the trademark. It was

487
00:24:31.400 --> 00:24:34.279
<v Speaker 3>a bigger, bigger barrel. It fell within the auspices of

488
00:24:34.319 --> 00:24:38.000
<v Speaker 3>two point sixty one inches in diameter or less. But

489
00:24:38.160 --> 00:24:41.319
<v Speaker 3>VOLTEI was saying is that if you look at the bat,

490
00:24:41.359 --> 00:24:43.720
<v Speaker 3>and you can take batting practice, and you will actually

491
00:24:43.720 --> 00:24:46.079
<v Speaker 3>see little blue marks on the bat where you foul

492
00:24:46.119 --> 00:24:49.640
<v Speaker 3>the ball off where it is snamped on the baseball itself,

493
00:24:49.680 --> 00:24:53.160
<v Speaker 3>it just leaves that pattern or there's marks left on

494
00:24:53.200 --> 00:24:55.920
<v Speaker 3>the bat. So they're saying that his was too close

495
00:24:56.200 --> 00:24:58.960
<v Speaker 3>to the label. Well, why don't you back off the

496
00:24:58.960 --> 00:25:03.440
<v Speaker 3>plate two inches? I mean, that's one way if you're

497
00:25:03.480 --> 00:25:05.880
<v Speaker 3>using the same bat. The other part, too, is if

498
00:25:05.920 --> 00:25:08.599
<v Speaker 3>you look at this torpedo bat that they're talking about. Okay,

499
00:25:08.599 --> 00:25:11.440
<v Speaker 3>they move the biggest part of the barrel closer to

500
00:25:11.559 --> 00:25:16.480
<v Speaker 3>the trademark, correct, but it also is smaller towards the

501
00:25:16.640 --> 00:25:20.279
<v Speaker 3>end of the bat. So you're rectifying maybe one area

502
00:25:20.640 --> 00:25:22.880
<v Speaker 3>that you can foul a ball off if it's inside

503
00:25:22.920 --> 00:25:26.880
<v Speaker 3>where the barrel is theoretically bigger. But then you've got

504
00:25:26.880 --> 00:25:29.119
<v Speaker 3>a smaller part of the barrel on the outer two

505
00:25:29.279 --> 00:25:31.119
<v Speaker 3>or three inches of the bat. So now you're not

506
00:25:31.160 --> 00:25:33.319
<v Speaker 3>going to foul off those pitches by a sixteenth of

507
00:25:33.400 --> 00:25:35.440
<v Speaker 3>an etcher an eighth them an inch. So it's a

508
00:25:35.480 --> 00:25:37.960
<v Speaker 3>trade off and if it works for you and you

509
00:25:38.039 --> 00:25:39.880
<v Speaker 3>feel good about it, I think the biggest thing with

510
00:25:39.920 --> 00:25:42.519
<v Speaker 3>the bat is, first of all, what's the weight of

511
00:25:42.519 --> 00:25:44.960
<v Speaker 3>the bat? Is it too heavy for you? Is it

512
00:25:45.000 --> 00:25:47.720
<v Speaker 3>too light for you? And the other important part is

513
00:25:48.039 --> 00:25:51.839
<v Speaker 3>what's the balance of the bat. Myself, I preferred a

514
00:25:51.880 --> 00:25:55.880
<v Speaker 3>thin handle and a big barrel, and a lot of

515
00:25:55.920 --> 00:25:59.119
<v Speaker 3>hitters are kind of in that same category, so it's

516
00:25:59.119 --> 00:26:01.319
<v Speaker 3>a trade off. You can pick up a bat, David,

517
00:26:01.359 --> 00:26:03.880
<v Speaker 3>you can also tell this is kind of weird. I

518
00:26:03.880 --> 00:26:06.799
<v Speaker 3>can order a dozen bats when I was playing, and

519
00:26:06.799 --> 00:26:08.720
<v Speaker 3>out of those dozen bats, when you go through them

520
00:26:08.720 --> 00:26:10.400
<v Speaker 3>ahead of time to figure out which ones are going

521
00:26:10.400 --> 00:26:12.920
<v Speaker 3>to be batting practice of bats and which ones you

522
00:26:13.160 --> 00:26:17.720
<v Speaker 3>like the wood consistent crane is it ballanced? The same way,

523
00:26:18.160 --> 00:26:19.839
<v Speaker 3>I could pick up a bat and tell if it

524
00:26:19.920 --> 00:26:22.640
<v Speaker 3>was a half ounce off of what I ordered, and

525
00:26:22.720 --> 00:26:24.839
<v Speaker 3>normally I ordered like thirty two or thirty three and

526
00:26:24.839 --> 00:26:28.319
<v Speaker 3>a half ounces, which is a lot lighter, it seems

527
00:26:28.359 --> 00:26:31.000
<v Speaker 3>than two plus pounds. But that's how you can pick

528
00:26:31.079 --> 00:26:32.400
<v Speaker 3>up a bat and tell if it's an ounce or

529
00:26:32.400 --> 00:26:36.640
<v Speaker 3>two off. So it's particular selection. I don't buy into

530
00:26:36.720 --> 00:26:40.880
<v Speaker 3>all of a sudden this is an absolute breakthrough in baseball. No,

531
00:26:42.000 --> 00:26:43.799
<v Speaker 3>there have been different bats that have been made over

532
00:26:43.839 --> 00:26:45.960
<v Speaker 3>the years and over the years. If it works for you, fine,

533
00:26:46.359 --> 00:26:48.680
<v Speaker 3>if the ballance is right, the weight is right, and

534
00:26:49.200 --> 00:26:51.480
<v Speaker 3>the mental approach is right, go ahead and use it.

535
00:26:51.559 --> 00:26:52.359
<v Speaker 3>It's not a big deal.

536
00:26:52.680 --> 00:26:55.119
<v Speaker 8>Isn't it an indictment on a hitter that can't make

537
00:26:55.200 --> 00:26:58.960
<v Speaker 8>the adjustments you're talking about and are so obsessed with

538
00:26:59.119 --> 00:27:02.160
<v Speaker 8>that uppercut swing, and that's the reason why they have

539
00:27:02.359 --> 00:27:03.799
<v Speaker 8>to go to this type of bat.

540
00:27:03.960 --> 00:27:08.319
<v Speaker 3>Well, if I'm looking at my bat as Volpi and

541
00:27:08.440 --> 00:27:12.039
<v Speaker 3>I keep getting jammed and jammed and jammed, why don't

542
00:27:12.039 --> 00:27:14.480
<v Speaker 3>I back off the plate by two inches? That's the

543
00:27:14.599 --> 00:27:16.319
<v Speaker 3>difference on how much the barrel of the bat, of

544
00:27:16.359 --> 00:27:19.359
<v Speaker 3>the biggest part has been moved towards the trademark on

545
00:27:19.480 --> 00:27:22.799
<v Speaker 3>the bat about you know about two inches maybe three

546
00:27:22.880 --> 00:27:25.039
<v Speaker 3>inches at most. Why don't you just back off the

547
00:27:25.079 --> 00:27:28.000
<v Speaker 3>plate two inches or three inches whatever works for you.

548
00:27:28.160 --> 00:27:30.759
<v Speaker 3>And there's a comfort level, And a lot of this

549
00:27:30.839 --> 00:27:33.920
<v Speaker 3>game is mental. Oh, it takes physical attributes. There's no

550
00:27:34.039 --> 00:27:36.720
<v Speaker 3>question about that. Hitting a baseball, in my mind is

551
00:27:36.799 --> 00:27:39.440
<v Speaker 3>the most difficult thing to do in professional sports. Other

552
00:27:39.519 --> 00:27:43.000
<v Speaker 3>people may have different ideas, and what I know personally

553
00:27:43.039 --> 00:27:45.400
<v Speaker 3>how difficult it was on a daily basis to do that.

554
00:27:46.039 --> 00:27:48.720
<v Speaker 3>This is tough. You have to be mentally just right there.

555
00:27:48.839 --> 00:27:52.319
<v Speaker 3>Not every Bouy's not everybody buys into this. Aaron Judges

556
00:27:52.359 --> 00:27:54.000
<v Speaker 3>is still hitting home runs he's not going with a

557
00:27:54.039 --> 00:27:55.720
<v Speaker 3>torpedo bat, no doubt.

558
00:27:55.799 --> 00:27:58.799
<v Speaker 8>We'll see how many Dodgers go to the torpedo bat

559
00:27:58.880 --> 00:27:59.400
<v Speaker 8>in the next day.

560
00:27:59.559 --> 00:28:01.640
<v Speaker 3>Robertson, some of the guys have ordered just to check

561
00:28:01.680 --> 00:28:04.079
<v Speaker 3>it out. Fine, check it out. It may suit you

562
00:28:04.279 --> 00:28:07.519
<v Speaker 3>from a balance standpoint and be kind of the same way,

563
00:28:07.640 --> 00:28:10.599
<v Speaker 3>but you're just transferring the biggest part of the barrel

564
00:28:10.680 --> 00:28:12.119
<v Speaker 3>to a different position on the bat.

565
00:28:12.519 --> 00:28:15.400
<v Speaker 8>Makes sense, too much sense, Rick, Thanks a lot for

566
00:28:15.759 --> 00:28:17.960
<v Speaker 8>explaining that all to us, and we'll check in with

567
00:28:18.039 --> 00:28:21.079
<v Speaker 8>you and Steven Nelson a torpedo man. Hey, this segment's

576
00:28:39.079 --> 00:28:42.039
<v Speaker 2>deeper to this pitching matchup. Stephen Nelson, Rick Monday got

577
00:28:42.079 --> 00:28:43.920
<v Speaker 2>those keys to the game. We'll go high and tie

578
00:28:43.960 --> 00:28:47.079
<v Speaker 2>it with DVID Vasa. Next Dodgers braves first pitch of

<v Speaker 8>on their first road trip in North America. The man

599
00:29:50.920 --> 00:29:53.680
<v Speaker 8>that puts it all together is the director of travel

600
00:29:53.759 --> 00:29:56.920
<v Speaker 8>for the Dodgers, Scott Akasaki. Scott, thanks a lot for

601
00:29:57.000 --> 00:29:59.599
<v Speaker 8>the time, and what a whirlwind of a time it's been.

602
00:30:00.079 --> 00:30:05.279
<v Speaker 10>Well, it's been absolutely awesome, Dave. Going back to last year,

603
00:30:05.359 --> 00:30:09.880
<v Speaker 10>what a great year, obviously October. You can't ever duplicate that.

604
00:30:10.079 --> 00:30:13.319
<v Speaker 10>Maybe we can. I don't know, but you know, it's

605
00:30:13.400 --> 00:30:16.480
<v Speaker 10>been It's been a lot of fun, certainly to go

606
00:30:16.599 --> 00:30:20.119
<v Speaker 10>back to Japan, come back to La have these great

607
00:30:20.200 --> 00:30:22.880
<v Speaker 10>couple of days here to start the season. So looking

608
00:30:22.920 --> 00:30:25.039
<v Speaker 10>forward to what this year has for us.

609
00:30:25.279 --> 00:30:28.920
<v Speaker 8>And you have Japanese blood in that Akasaki name, what

610
00:30:29.200 --> 00:30:31.559
<v Speaker 8>was it like for you to go back to Tokyo

611
00:30:31.799 --> 00:30:34.559
<v Speaker 8>with Shoho Tani and the Dodgers.

612
00:30:34.960 --> 00:30:37.359
<v Speaker 10>Dave, I appreciate you asking that question, and I don't

613
00:30:37.359 --> 00:30:40.640
<v Speaker 10>want to get too deep here, but there was a

614
00:30:40.720 --> 00:30:44.839
<v Speaker 10>time when in our nation's history when Japanese Americans weren't

615
00:30:45.440 --> 00:30:51.160
<v Speaker 10>really viewed in the same level, especially during World War Two.

616
00:30:51.720 --> 00:30:54.839
<v Speaker 10>So my parents, my grandparents were involved in that, my

617
00:30:54.880 --> 00:30:57.880
<v Speaker 10>aunts and uncles, so certainly that's never been lost upon

618
00:30:58.000 --> 00:31:01.559
<v Speaker 10>me and my family's history. So to be able to

619
00:31:01.680 --> 00:31:06.480
<v Speaker 10>go back to Japan and with the Dodgers and having

620
00:31:07.440 --> 00:31:11.559
<v Speaker 10>the collection of stars that we have Japanese and otherwise

621
00:31:12.200 --> 00:31:15.920
<v Speaker 10>was absolutely amazing. And to go from like the World

622
00:31:15.960 --> 00:31:19.440
<v Speaker 10>War Two experience to the modern day has been for

623
00:31:19.640 --> 00:31:21.640
<v Speaker 10>me personally tremendously moving.

624
00:31:21.960 --> 00:31:25.279
<v Speaker 8>How did you get a group of two hundred people

625
00:31:25.480 --> 00:31:31.319
<v Speaker 8>traveling players, coaches, front office from Arizona to Tokyo, get

626
00:31:31.400 --> 00:31:36.279
<v Speaker 8>them seamlessly as acclimated, and then also find a way

627
00:31:36.359 --> 00:31:39.839
<v Speaker 8>to get them back after a game was played in Tokyo, Japan.

628
00:31:40.039 --> 00:31:42.799
<v Speaker 8>Take us through what an undertaking that was?

629
00:31:43.519 --> 00:31:46.400
<v Speaker 10>Well, you know, I think Dave, a lot of the

630
00:31:46.440 --> 00:31:49.160
<v Speaker 10>folks who went to Tokyo went to Seoul last year,

631
00:31:49.279 --> 00:31:54.039
<v Speaker 10>so they knew the schedule, how to adjust to sleep,

632
00:31:54.599 --> 00:31:57.960
<v Speaker 10>what they were going to feel like, the visa process,

633
00:31:59.000 --> 00:32:03.039
<v Speaker 10>sort of the different nature of everything, the food, the

634
00:32:03.119 --> 00:32:06.720
<v Speaker 10>gaps in time. So I think having the Sole experience

635
00:32:07.160 --> 00:32:11.279
<v Speaker 10>was really great as an orientation for the Tokyo experience.

636
00:32:11.319 --> 00:32:13.319
<v Speaker 10>So I think everyone who went to Seoul was very

637
00:32:13.359 --> 00:32:15.839
<v Speaker 10>well prepared for Tokyo and they knew exactly what they

638
00:32:15.920 --> 00:32:18.000
<v Speaker 10>wanted to do, And I hope everybody who went on

639
00:32:18.039 --> 00:32:20.880
<v Speaker 10>the trip maximized their time and had a great experience

640
00:32:20.960 --> 00:32:21.319
<v Speaker 10>over there.

641
00:32:21.599 --> 00:32:25.559
<v Speaker 8>But for Scott Akasaki, who's organizing this trip to get

642
00:32:25.640 --> 00:32:30.279
<v Speaker 8>the world champion Dodgers to Tokyo seamlessly through customs and

643
00:32:30.720 --> 00:32:34.680
<v Speaker 8>a foreign airport, there is the variable of the unknown

644
00:32:34.920 --> 00:32:38.200
<v Speaker 8>for you. How did you make it so smooth for everybody?

645
00:32:38.759 --> 00:32:41.359
<v Speaker 10>Well, Dave, you asked that question, and you're giving me

646
00:32:41.400 --> 00:32:46.200
<v Speaker 10>a lot of credit, but I certainly can't take that credit. Certainly,

647
00:32:46.319 --> 00:32:49.920
<v Speaker 10>the folks at Major League Baseball, who organized the trip

648
00:32:50.960 --> 00:32:55.200
<v Speaker 10>for the Dodgers and Cubs, played a huge role. The

649
00:32:55.319 --> 00:32:59.880
<v Speaker 10>team that we have here, al garciaan security, Alex Torres

650
00:33:00.519 --> 00:33:05.160
<v Speaker 10>the equipment side, and Markazai and Baseball Operations really were

651
00:33:05.359 --> 00:33:09.240
<v Speaker 10>instrumental in getting this trip off the ground. Patricia Romero

652
00:33:09.400 --> 00:33:13.079
<v Speaker 10>and family programs, everybody was all syncd up. Of course,

653
00:33:13.119 --> 00:33:17.799
<v Speaker 10>our front office is aligned, so Andrew Brandon, their leadership,

654
00:33:18.839 --> 00:33:23.440
<v Speaker 10>of course, the coaching staff, everybody is. When we needed

655
00:33:23.480 --> 00:33:27.359
<v Speaker 10>information to get all the stuff we needed to get

656
00:33:27.519 --> 00:33:29.960
<v Speaker 10>like it came very quickly because everyone wanted to have

657
00:33:30.000 --> 00:33:30.920
<v Speaker 10>a great time in Japan.

658
00:33:31.279 --> 00:33:34.000
<v Speaker 8>You've been part of the Dodger organization for over twenty

659
00:33:34.079 --> 00:33:37.160
<v Speaker 8>years now, You've seen a lot. What's it like in

660
00:33:37.279 --> 00:33:40.200
<v Speaker 8>twenty twenty five for you to be where you're at

661
00:33:40.319 --> 00:33:43.640
<v Speaker 8>right now, and not just being with a baseball team,

662
00:33:43.759 --> 00:33:47.119
<v Speaker 8>but basically being with a rock band going around the

663
00:33:47.519 --> 00:33:49.759
<v Speaker 8>country and the world. Was sho heyo Tani.

664
00:33:50.440 --> 00:33:54.240
<v Speaker 10>You know, Dave, not only is it the time with

665
00:33:54.359 --> 00:33:57.160
<v Speaker 10>the Dodgers, but you know, I was born and raised

666
00:33:57.200 --> 00:34:01.400
<v Speaker 10>in Los Angeles, so to see the city and how

667

668
00:34:05.599 --> 00:34:11.760

721
00:36:44.679 --> 00:36:47.000
<v Speaker 2>ever since. He hasn't pitched in the big league game

722

00:38:05.320 --> 00:38:07.239
<v Speaker 2>out to the boat. Steven Nelson Rick Monday, guys.

747
00:38:07.760 --> 00:38:08.320
<v Speaker 1>Thanks TC.

748
00:38:08.519 --> 00:38:11.840
<v Speaker 4>All right, mo, this is a really intriguing and exciting

749
00:38:11.920 --> 00:38:14.519
<v Speaker 4>pitching matchup for a number of different reasons. Let's start

750
00:38:14.559 --> 00:38:17.920
<v Speaker 4>with the Dodgers starter in Dustin May. This is going

751
00:38:18.000 --> 00:38:23.199
<v Speaker 4>to be his first start in gosh, nearly two calendar years.

752
00:38:23.800 --> 00:38:26.360
<v Speaker 4>Just think of everything that this young man has gone

753
00:38:26.440 --> 00:38:30.119
<v Speaker 4>through in his major league career to date, a few

754
00:38:30.199 --> 00:38:33.800
<v Speaker 4>different elbow surgeries, and then last year a life threatening

755
00:38:33.840 --> 00:38:38.280
<v Speaker 4>emergency surgery to repair the torn esophagus right when he

756
00:38:38.400 --> 00:38:41.880
<v Speaker 4>was on the cusp of returning to the major league roster.

757
00:38:42.239 --> 00:38:43.719
<v Speaker 4>He's doing that here tonight.

758
00:38:43.599 --> 00:38:46.679
<v Speaker 3>Six hundred and eighty five days wow. From his last

759
00:38:46.679 --> 00:38:48.800
<v Speaker 3>start at the big league level on the seventeenth of

760
00:38:48.880 --> 00:38:52.599
<v Speaker 3>May twenty twenty three, I'm excited for Dustin May. We

761
00:38:52.719 --> 00:38:54.719
<v Speaker 3>saw him in spring training. In those four starts, he

762
00:38:54.840 --> 00:38:57.239
<v Speaker 3>worked only the ten innings, trying to stretch things out

763
00:38:57.239 --> 00:38:59.760
<v Speaker 3>and everything else. But every time he took them mount

764
00:39:00.039 --> 00:39:02.760
<v Speaker 3>in those four outings, you could tell that he was

765
00:39:02.800 --> 00:39:06.199
<v Speaker 3>gaining more and more confidence and settling back into a

766
00:39:06.400 --> 00:39:08.880
<v Speaker 3>rhythm that a year ago he didn't know if he

767
00:39:08.920 --> 00:39:11.840
<v Speaker 3>would ever be back on this field. That's really a big,

768
00:39:11.920 --> 00:39:14.400
<v Speaker 3>big deal. On the flip side of the coin mentioned earlier,

769
00:39:14.480 --> 00:39:16.519
<v Speaker 3>for Chris Sale, one of the really tough guys to

770
00:39:16.639 --> 00:39:20.000
<v Speaker 3>hit against, eighteen wins, only three losses last year, a

771
00:39:20.320 --> 00:39:23.519
<v Speaker 3>very high strikeout rate, and a very high chase rate.

772
00:39:23.880 --> 00:39:27.159
<v Speaker 3>So for the Dodgers, they've been patient with hittings so far.

773
00:39:27.639 --> 00:39:29.920
<v Speaker 3>Make sure you're not expanding the strike zone too much

774
00:39:29.960 --> 00:39:30.800
<v Speaker 3>tonight for.

775
00:39:30.960 --> 00:39:32.800
<v Speaker 4>Dustin Made the last time we saw him in spring,

776
00:39:32.920 --> 00:39:36.840
<v Speaker 4>he was really spectacular during the Freeway Series exhibition.

777
00:39:36.559 --> 00:39:37.440
<v Speaker 3>Down in Anaheim.

778
00:39:37.880 --> 00:39:40.440
<v Speaker 4>He pitched five innings, just one run on one hit.

779
00:39:40.599 --> 00:39:44.039
<v Speaker 4>The walks in the hit batters. Those two things were

780
00:39:44.079 --> 00:39:46.360
<v Speaker 4>issues during the spring. The control, he had six free

781
00:39:46.440 --> 00:39:49.159
<v Speaker 4>passes and hit three guys. The hits though those have

782
00:39:49.239 --> 00:39:51.679
<v Speaker 4>been tough to come by against Dustin May, so hopefully

783
00:39:51.719 --> 00:39:53.360
<v Speaker 4>you can build on that tonight against Atlanta and then

784
00:39:53.400 --> 00:39:55.679
<v Speaker 4>with Chris Sailed. This is the first time that we

785
00:39:55.800 --> 00:39:59.360
<v Speaker 4>have seen him here at Dodger Stadium since he closed

786
00:39:59.400 --> 00:40:02.559
<v Speaker 4>out Game five of the twenty eighteen World Series for

787
00:40:02.719 --> 00:40:04.880
<v Speaker 4>the Boston Red Sox. He struck out the side in

788
00:40:05.000 --> 00:40:07.800
<v Speaker 4>that one. We saw him last year in his siong campaign,

789
00:40:07.920 --> 00:40:10.599
<v Speaker 4>his first year with Atlanta Moo, and they could hardly

790
00:40:10.719 --> 00:40:13.360
<v Speaker 4>touch him when they saw him at Truce Parkinson dam.

791
00:40:13.440 --> 00:40:16.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, if he's on, he's really a tough customer. His

792
00:40:16.519 --> 00:40:20.880
<v Speaker 3>nickname the Conductor, and he may be punching some tickets tonight.

793
00:40:21.280 --> 00:40:23.360
<v Speaker 4>One thing that the Dodgers can try to lean on

794
00:40:23.599 --> 00:40:25.719
<v Speaker 4>as they get ready for this game. Tim kates their

795
00:40:25.800 --> 00:40:28.480
<v Speaker 4>record against left handed pitchers last year the second best

796
00:40:28.519 --> 00:40:31.119
<v Speaker 4>market all of baseball, thirty six and seventeen, and to

797
00:40:31.199 --> 00:40:34.440
<v Speaker 4>start this year three to zero, and not just against

798
00:40:34.480 --> 00:40:39.880
<v Speaker 4>any lefties, Chute Imanaga, Justin Steele and Trek Scooble. Can

799
00:40:39.960 --> 00:40:42.239
<v Speaker 4>they continue this run against Chris Sale. We'll find out

800
00:40:42.440 --> 00:40:43.320
<v Speaker 4>in a matter of hours.

801
00:40:43.400 --> 00:40:45.480
<v Speaker 2>It's gonna be a good one. Chris Sale two hundred

802
00:40:45.480 --> 00:40:48.519
<v Speaker 2>and twenty five strikeouts, won the Cy Young Award last year.

803
00:40:48.880 --> 00:40:51.199
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers got their handfuls tonight. If they want to stay

804
00:40:51.559 --> 00:40:54.519
<v Speaker 2>undefeated on this season, first pitch is next. It's the

805
00:40:54.639 --> 00:40:57.960
<v Speaker 2>return to Code Red justin May. When we come back,

806
00:40:58.239 --> 00:40:59.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm Tim Kates. This's the world champion of Los Angeles
