Austin Riley, 48 00:02:11.479 --> 00:02:13.520 he didn't struggle last night, and the second at bat 49 00:02:13.560 --> 00:02:16.960 another to run home run, that one in the third 50 00:02:17.080 --> 00:02:20.159 as the Braves took a four to nothing lead over 51 00:02:20.240 --> 00:02:23.520 the Dodgers. Finally, in the fourth inning, Dodgers got something 52 00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:25.080 going against Bryce Elder. 53 00:02:25.439 --> 00:02:28.240 Max Munsey found the right field line. 54 00:02:28.039 --> 00:02:30.560 Playoff pitch and once he rips it to the right 55 00:02:30.599 --> 00:02:33.639 field corner, ta Oscar's gonna turn second, head for third. 56 00:02:33.680 --> 00:02:36.560 Monthly's gonna turn first, head for second.

With that 62 00:02:48.439 --> 00:02:51.520 RBI double down the right field line, Dodgers down four 63 00:02:51.520 --> 00:02:53.879 to one, and they started to slowly chip away in 64 00:02:53.960 --> 00:02:56.759 this sixth inning and RBI ground out from Max Munsey 65 00:02:57.159 --> 00:02:59.520 RBI number seven, number two of the game, and the 66 00:02:59.560 --> 00:03:02.360 Dodgers down four to two. And this seventh they continue 67 00:03:02.360 --> 00:03:05.439 to cut into the Braves lead. Miguel Rojas off the 68 00:03:05.439 --> 00:03:06.800 bench as a pinch hitter. 69 00:03:07.039 --> 00:03:10.000 Dylan Lee set to go his pitch and Rojas swings 70 00:03:10.039 --> 00:03:12.240 hits a drive to left field. It is back toward 71 00:03:12.280 --> 00:03:12.840 the bullpen. 72 00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:14.159 It is gone. 73 00:03:14.319 --> 00:03:18.680 A home run, A pinch hit home run for Miguel Rojas, 74 00:03:19.240 --> 00:03:20.759 and he brings the Dodgers to. 75 00:03:20.759 --> 00:03:24.759 Within a run. It is four to three. Rojas with 76 00:03:24.840 --> 00:03:28.360 his first home run of the season. Oh, how do 77 00:03:28.400 --> 00:03:28.960 you like that? 78 00:03:29.479 --> 00:03:30.240 I like it a lot. 79 00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:32.719 Miguel Rojas, on a one to two pitch, hits a 80 00:03:32.719 --> 00:03:36.039 home run to left field. Dodgers down four to three. 81 00:03:36.199 --> 00:03:39.439 Dustin May pitched into the sixth inning. Jack Dryer, who 82 00:03:39.479 --> 00:03:42.800 is the starter tonight, pitched in relief at a third 83 00:03:42.800 --> 00:03:45.240 of an inning. Luis Garcia two thirds of an inning. 84 00:03:45.439 --> 00:03:49.400 Anthony Bonda inn in a third in relief. The Dodgers 85 00:03:49.400 --> 00:03:51.639 down four to three. In the ninth inning, facing the 86 00:03:51.719 --> 00:03:56.560 closer for the Braves, Riselle Iglesias, Andy Pajas a lead 87 00:03:56.599 --> 00:04:00.000 off infield single pinch runner Hay Song Kim steal's second 88 00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:04.080 Nobody out tyn run at second, Will Smith struck out 89 00:04:04.120 --> 00:04:07.719 on the drop third strike. Kim advances to third on 90 00:04:07.759 --> 00:04:10.159 the throat of first, so the Dodgers have the tye 91 00:04:10.240 --> 00:04:15.479 run ninety feet away with one out, Miguel Rojas strikes out. 92 00:04:15.759 --> 00:04:20.560 Austin Barnes strikes out and ends the game. Dodgers had 93 00:04:20.600 --> 00:04:23.319 a chance to tie it in the ninth strand that 94 00:04:23.439 --> 00:04:26.240 runner at third Braves win it last night in Atlanta 95 00:04:26.399 --> 00:04:29.439 four to three, snapping the Dodgers seven game winning streak. 96 00:04:29.480 --> 00:04:30.680 Dodgers still takes two to. 97 00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:33.240 Three in Atlanta, twenty three and eleven on this season, 98 00:04:33.279 --> 00:04:35.839 still first place atop the NL West, and the road 99 00:04:35.839 --> 00:04:38.360 trip now continues on this Monday in Miami. 100 00:04:38.720 --> 00:04:39.959 Jack Dryer the opener. 101 00:04:40.000 --> 00:04:42.079 Ben Kisparius will get a lot of the innings after 102 00:04:42.120 --> 00:04:44.079 that and with more we head to the Gallpin Motors 103 00:04:44.079 --> 00:04:46.800 broadcast booth as we say good afternoon to Tim Neverett 104 00:04:46.839 --> 00:04:48.720 and Rick Monday, guys. 105 00:04:48.399 --> 00:04:49.480 Tim, thanks very much. 106 00:04:49.519 --> 00:04:50.879 The roof is closed. 107 00:04:50.920 --> 00:04:55.720 We'll live indoor baseball tonight here in Miami, Florida. Temperatures 108 00:04:55.759 --> 00:04:58.959 outside very pleasant and there's no rain to speak of 109 00:04:59.040 --> 00:05:00.439 at this point in time. Where the going to play 110 00:05:00.439 --> 00:05:03.680 with the roof closed, nonetheless, as Jack Dreyer will be 111 00:05:03.720 --> 00:05:06.800 the opener, followed by Ben Casparius at some point in 112 00:05:06.839 --> 00:05:11.319 the game against Sandy Olcontra Sandy. Last time out against 113 00:05:11.360 --> 00:05:13.360 the Dodgers didn't fare very well, but he makes a 114 00:05:13.480 --> 00:05:16.720 seventh start of the season and his seventh career start 115 00:05:17.439 --> 00:05:20.680 against the Dodgers. Dodgers have won seven of the last 116 00:05:20.680 --> 00:05:23.240 eight ball games, coming off the loss against the Braves 117 00:05:23.279 --> 00:05:26.639 four to three last night, and it's a new day 118 00:05:26.680 --> 00:05:28.160 in a new series here in Miami. 119 00:05:28.319 --> 00:05:30.560 Tim, I think if we look at this Dodger ball club, yes, 120 00:05:30.600 --> 00:05:33.240 they lost to the game last night as you're talking about, 121 00:05:33.279 --> 00:05:35.079 but if we look at the last eight games as 122 00:05:35.120 --> 00:05:39.360 a team, not only have they hit collectively three twenty nine, 123 00:05:39.639 --> 00:05:43.519 they're averaging over eight runs per game, so they had 124 00:05:43.600 --> 00:05:45.959 not allowed a great number of runs also in that 125 00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:48.560 same period of time. So we'll see what's going to 126 00:05:48.639 --> 00:05:51.120 take place here. And they've had their way with the 127 00:05:51.759 --> 00:05:55.279 Miami Marlins. Is certainly in the homestand at Dodger Stadium, 128 00:05:55.319 --> 00:05:57.680 and now they come down here to South Florida. It's 129 00:05:57.720 --> 00:06:00.759 gonna be interesting too. We see Asa Kim will get 130 00:06:00.800 --> 00:06:03.800 his first major league start. We saw him last night. 131 00:06:03.839 --> 00:06:06.879 A stolen basin, a very heads up play advancing from 132 00:06:06.920 --> 00:06:09.079 second to third represented the tying run at the top 133 00:06:09.079 --> 00:06:10.879 of the ninth was one out, but the Dodgers fell 134 00:06:10.920 --> 00:06:13.800 short in losing Game three of that series to Atlanta. 135 00:06:13.959 --> 00:06:16.279 Now, Kim made an impact on the game with his legs. 136 00:06:16.279 --> 00:06:19.040 Some pretty good base running displayed, not just the stolen base, 137 00:06:19.079 --> 00:06:22.759 but advancing to third on a strikeount wild pitch. Will 138 00:06:22.800 --> 00:06:25.600 Smith had the presence of mind to get out of 139 00:06:25.600 --> 00:06:27.800 the way and run down to first base for a throw, 140 00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:30.079 and it was really good timing on the part of 141 00:06:30.199 --> 00:06:32.759 Kim to break at the right moment to go from 142 00:06:32.759 --> 00:06:33.399 second to third. 143 00:06:33.439 --> 00:06:36.240 I'm really anxious to watch Kim in tonight's ballgame because 144 00:06:36.279 --> 00:06:38.839 we will see a different approach at home plate, a 145 00:06:38.879 --> 00:06:41.439 different stance at home plate than what we saw in Arizona. 146 00:06:41.519 --> 00:06:43.480 During spring training. He had the high, late kick. It 147 00:06:43.519 --> 00:06:46.319 did not work. He was late a lot on fast 148 00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:49.560 balls and that was not the premium velocity of fast 149 00:06:49.560 --> 00:06:52.000 balls in spring training. So he's made a big adjustment. 150 00:06:52.279 --> 00:06:54.800 It really worked out for the young second baseman where 151 00:06:54.839 --> 00:06:57.439 he'll be tonight anxious to see how he handles It 152 00:06:57.680 --> 00:06:58.600 will be a. 153 00:06:58.600 --> 00:07:00.560 Little bit before we see him. He'll back ninth for 154 00:07:00.639 --> 00:07:03.360 the Dodgers. Freddie Freeman's been on fire nine game hitting 155 00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:06.480 streak for him. Teoscar Hernandez has hit an eleven of 156 00:07:06.480 --> 00:07:09.959 the last twelve and Mookie Betts lately has been very 157 00:07:10.040 --> 00:07:12.800 very good. Bets will play tonight and he'll play Wednesday, 158 00:07:13.160 --> 00:07:14.560 and Mookie's going to get tomorrow on. 159 00:07:14.800 --> 00:07:16.639 You know, a guy think gets kind of overlooked, not 160 00:07:16.759 --> 00:07:19.240 overlooked from an impact of what he can do. But 161 00:07:19.600 --> 00:07:23.160 Dino shohe Otani the last eight games is hit right 162 00:07:23.240 --> 00:07:25.959 at four hundred, and we'll see how he handles the 163 00:07:25.959 --> 00:07:29.399 first bitch thrown to him by a contra tonight. The 164 00:07:29.519 --> 00:07:32.439 reason the first bitch thrown to Otani when a contra 165 00:07:32.519 --> 00:07:34.240 pitch in la home run. 166 00:07:34.879 --> 00:07:37.959 Speaking of home runs, Kyle Stowers, who had two in 167 00:07:38.000 --> 00:07:40.920 the game the last time the Dodgers and Marlins met 168 00:07:40.959 --> 00:07:43.959 at Dodgers Stadium, has kept it going. He's been on 169 00:07:44.079 --> 00:07:46.879 fire and this week hit four twenty one for the Marlins. 170 00:07:46.879 --> 00:07:49.279 Today named National League Player of the Week. He had 171 00:07:49.319 --> 00:07:51.480 a walk off brand slam here a couple of days 172 00:07:51.519 --> 00:07:54.279 ago in a two home run game against the Athletics. 173 00:07:54.560 --> 00:07:56.720 He'll be in the line of playing left field and 174 00:07:56.920 --> 00:07:59.759 batting second and a very good young bat for the Marlins. 175 00:08:00.079 --> 00:08:03.120 Good Matt and overlook the fact that Miami they may 176 00:08:03.160 --> 00:08:05.040 be in last place in the Eastern Division, but they 177 00:08:05.079 --> 00:08:06.600 note that they want to be able to get a 178 00:08:06.639 --> 00:08:09.240 part of the world champion Dodgers.

But the plan is is 230 00:10:39.559 --> 00:10:41.840 that benk Sparris is gonna take down the bulk of 231 00:10:41.879 --> 00:10:44.440 this game. And we saw his last outing how he 232 00:10:44.519 --> 00:10:47.080 was able to do just that. But even even so 233 00:10:47.159 --> 00:10:49.279 in that last one, seuse me, he had fifty four pitches, 234 00:10:49.320 --> 00:10:52.120 and Dave Roberts said today that he feels really comfortable 235 00:10:52.159 --> 00:10:55.519 for him to whether it's that fifty sixty even if 236 00:10:55.559 --> 00:10:56.879 you had to push him to kind of that seventy 237 00:10:56.879 --> 00:10:58.799 pitch count range, for him to hopefully take down like 238 00:10:58.919 --> 00:11:01.600 four innings is a really good spot. And by putting 239 00:11:01.679 --> 00:11:04.120 Jack Dryer as the opener, it just feels like it 240 00:11:04.159 --> 00:11:07.120 gives Ben more opportunity just to eat up more of 241 00:11:07.240 --> 00:11:09.799 the game. So they feel they've been really impressed with 242 00:11:09.879 --> 00:11:12.159 him this year and even his stuffs looking fantastic. There 243 00:11:12.240 --> 00:11:14.240 was maybe that one outing against the Cubs back in 244 00:11:14.360 --> 00:11:16.919 LA that kind of got his era up, but he 245 00:11:17.000 --> 00:11:20.360 was able to redeem himself in Chicago. So he's looking 246 00:11:20.399 --> 00:11:22.240 forward to this one and it does sound like he 247 00:11:22.279 --> 00:11:26.039 could be in this role in the rotation more rather 248 00:11:26.080 --> 00:11:28.720 than out of a bowl, out of the bullpen, at 249 00:11:28.799 --> 00:11:30.279 least for at least one more kind of time through 250 00:11:30.320 --> 00:11:30.759 the rotation. 251 00:11:31.120 --> 00:11:33.960 Over the weekend, we saw hays On Kim come off 252 00:11:34.000 --> 00:11:35.639 the bench as a defensive replacement. 253 00:11:35.639 --> 00:11:37.000 We saw him on the bass. 254 00:11:36.840 --> 00:11:40.320 Pass last night ninety feet away almost in a Dodger's 255 00:11:40.320 --> 00:11:42.799 comeback win over the Braves. And tonight he gets his 256 00:11:42.840 --> 00:11:44.080 first MLB Stars. 257 00:11:44.799 --> 00:11:46.279 He sure does, and he's excited. 258 00:11:46.360 --> 00:11:48.080 I mean, first of all, hayes On Kim is just 259 00:11:48.279 --> 00:11:51.159 he is absolutely the best. He is the best personality, 260 00:11:51.200 --> 00:11:53.039 the best smile, He just is so kind and so 261 00:11:53.320 --> 00:11:55.799 for him to get this opportunity one he's worked really 262 00:11:55.840 --> 00:11:58.879 hard and he's deserved the call up. We saw how 263 00:11:58.919 --> 00:12:01.120 aggressive he can be, how that is such a big 264 00:12:01.159 --> 00:12:04.960 factor in his game. He's someone who he wants not 265 00:12:05.039 --> 00:12:07.200 only the pitcher to be uncomfortable, but he wants to 266 00:12:07.240 --> 00:12:09.720 contribute in any way that he can. And so with 267 00:12:09.840 --> 00:12:12.360 him being as you mentioned, whether it was a defensive replacement, 268 00:12:12.399 --> 00:12:15.080 a pinch runner, you know, he wanted to find different 269 00:12:15.080 --> 00:12:17.200 ways to contribute, and so by being aggressive on the 270 00:12:17.200 --> 00:12:21.120 bass path, he was able to put himself in position 271 00:12:21.240 --> 00:12:23.519 to hopefully score a run. Obviously, as you mentioned, they didn't, 272 00:12:23.519 --> 00:12:25.879 but just to be in position that's huge. So for 273 00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:29.200 him today to get the start, Dave Roberts was talking 274 00:12:29.240 --> 00:12:31.799 about just the biggest adjustments he's been seeing with him 275 00:12:31.840 --> 00:12:34.919 has been offensively. You know, they knew he's a good defender, 276 00:12:34.960 --> 00:12:37.320 they knew how fast he was and how athletic he was, 277 00:12:37.840 --> 00:12:39.840 just wanted to make a few adjustments. They felt like 278 00:12:39.840 --> 00:12:41.480 there's a little bit too much kind of swing and miss, 279 00:12:41.559 --> 00:12:43.919 especially what they were seeing in spring training. And he 280 00:12:44.039 --> 00:12:47.559 essentially just started from scratch when it comes to hitting, 281 00:12:47.600 --> 00:12:50.200 and so he used to have a leg kick that 282 00:12:50.320 --> 00:12:52.759 is now gone. His swing path is just way more 283 00:12:52.799 --> 00:12:55.080 direct to the ball and through the strike zone rather 284 00:12:55.159 --> 00:12:57.000 than kind of it was a little bit of a 285 00:12:57.039 --> 00:13:00.320 slower one, and obviously with big league pitchers that doesn't 286 00:13:00.320 --> 00:13:03.320 work out so well. So he completely started over and 287 00:13:03.399 --> 00:13:05.720 he's been saying he feels a lot more comfortable just 288 00:13:05.759 --> 00:13:08.919 with those adjustments. He still feels like he's working on things, 289 00:13:08.960 --> 00:13:11.879 but for right now, he's just he's excited to be here. 290 00:13:12.120 --> 00:13:14.879 He understands why he's started in Triple A and he 291 00:13:15.000 --> 00:13:16.960 just wants to contribute in any way possible at the 292 00:13:16.960 --> 00:13:18.639 big league level and enjoy these moments. 293 00:13:18.799 --> 00:13:21.159 Cannot wait to see him get his major league debut. 294 00:13:21.240 --> 00:13:23.360 In his first step bat tonight, Kris said, we appreciate 295 00:13:23.360 --> 00:13:24.720 it when check going to you after the game. Still 296 00:13:24.759 --> 00:13:27.279 to come here on Marongo Becauseino Dodgers on Deck will 297 00:13:27.320 --> 00:13:30.240 dive deeper into this pitch matchup. David Vaz say will 298 00:13:30.240 --> 00:13:33.120 go high and ty, but next an injury report, they 299 00:13:33.159 --> 00:13:35.840 look at the pregame thoughts of Dodger manager Dave Roberts. 300 00:13:35.919 --> 00:13:39.159 It's the Dodgers and Marlins from Miami.

All right, let's tap back out 321 00:14:41.360 --> 00:14:43.799 to Miami and check in with the Dodgers skipper. 322 00:14:43.320 --> 00:14:46.120 Any Dave questions for Dave? 323 00:14:46.200 --> 00:14:49.200 Dave, can you just describe Dave? Can you talk about 324 00:14:49.200 --> 00:14:53.240 the pressure in the dugouts with Dave Roberts. 325 00:14:53.960 --> 00:14:55.759 I'm excited. I think we're all excited. 326 00:14:56.840 --> 00:14:59.840 He's such a good kid, and so for him to 327 00:14:59.840 --> 00:15:02.639 get at his first major league start, I think we're 328 00:15:02.679 --> 00:15:05.360 all excited as teammates. And you know, we saw a 329 00:15:05.399 --> 00:15:08.519 little bit of last night what he can bring as 330 00:15:08.559 --> 00:15:12.279 far as the athleticism to speed and so to get 331 00:15:12.360 --> 00:15:15.320 him a start second base and takes him at bats, 332 00:15:15.480 --> 00:15:16.240 it's exciting. 333 00:15:16.799 --> 00:15:19.320 How bad the Marlins have been throwing runners out this year, 334 00:15:19.360 --> 00:15:22.279 They've allowed more stolen bases than any other team. 335 00:15:22.399 --> 00:15:25.960 If Kim gets on base, is it a triple You. 336 00:15:25.879 --> 00:15:28.879 Know, it might be you know, you know Sandy obviously 337 00:15:29.000 --> 00:15:32.080 is you know, coming off the surgery and doesn't do 338 00:15:32.120 --> 00:15:34.240 a really good job of holding runners on. So, yeah, 339 00:15:34.840 --> 00:15:37.559 if Kim gets on base, then there's an opportunity for 340 00:15:38.519 --> 00:15:40.000 some aggressive base running. 341 00:15:40.399 --> 00:15:43.080 Because watching what he did in the ninth inning last 342 00:15:43.200 --> 00:15:46.960 night make you think that's a unique weapon we don't have. 343 00:15:47.720 --> 00:15:51.440 Maybe it'd be worth keeping him around just for that, 344 00:15:51.600 --> 00:15:53.240 even if he didn't play that much. 345 00:15:53.720 --> 00:15:55.159 Yeah, it's certainly a thought. 346 00:15:55.399 --> 00:16:00.600 I think with Heysong, with young players, there's always that 347 00:16:00.759 --> 00:16:04.759 dynamic of what in the short term can help the 348 00:16:04.799 --> 00:16:09.720 ball club, and certainly his skill set place to that, 349 00:16:10.679 --> 00:16:14.559 but then also the longer term, giving him the repetitions, 350 00:16:14.600 --> 00:16:19.000 the opportunities to take as many a bad to play defense, 351 00:16:19.039 --> 00:16:22.600 to get acclimated to American baseball. You know what kind 352 00:16:22.600 --> 00:16:25.600 of nets out most positive? And that's kind of the discussion. 353 00:16:26.320 --> 00:16:29.360 He played three positions down in triple A. Do you 354 00:16:29.399 --> 00:16:31.720 feel comfortable using him in all three? 355 00:16:31.840 --> 00:16:32.200 Up here? 356 00:16:33.200 --> 00:16:35.200 I feel comfortable using me in all three? 357 00:16:35.240 --> 00:16:35.440 I do. 358 00:16:35.679 --> 00:16:36.000 I do. 359 00:16:36.720 --> 00:16:39.559 He's a second baseman. I think he can do that 360 00:16:39.639 --> 00:16:42.559 in his sleep. As far as short stop, I've seen 361 00:16:42.679 --> 00:16:46.120 enough over there. I feel good, and he's played enough 362 00:16:46.159 --> 00:16:47.600 center field and I saw him a little bit in 363 00:16:47.679 --> 00:16:51.120 spring training and the reports that I get feel comfortable. 364 00:16:50.840 --> 00:16:51.600 Having in centers. 365 00:16:51.600 --> 00:16:54.519 Well, all right, there's Dave Roberts talking about Kim and 366 00:16:54.559 --> 00:16:57.159 what he means to this team. Yeah, certainly gave a 367 00:16:57.240 --> 00:17:00.000 jolt of energy off the bench defensively on the baseball 368 00:17:00.200 --> 00:17:04.599 last night. Unfortunately he was stranded at third ninety feet away. 369 00:17:04.559 --> 00:17:06.920 In a four to three loss to the Braves in Atlanta. 370 00:17:06.960 --> 00:17:09.279 We'll continue here on Dodgers on Deck, and when we do, 371 00:17:09.480 --> 00:17:12.319 we will check in with the best Dodger insider out there, 372 00:17:12.720 --> 00:17:14.599 David Best saying, get you all the latest if we 373 00:17:14.680 --> 00:17:17.359 lead you up the first pitch from Miami Dodgers and 374 00:17:17.400 --> 00:17:20.359 Marlins series opener, first pitch of three forty of Tim 375 00:17:20.400 --> 00:17:25.799 Kates's the world champion Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network. 376 00:17:25.839 --> 00:17:26.720 As we were. 377 00:17:26.680 --> 00:17:31.680 Saying, this is Marongo Casino Dodgers on deck on the 378 00:17:31.720 --> 00:17:34.720 official home of La Dodgers Baseball. 379 00:17:36.720 --> 00:17:40.720 Dodgers roadship continues next stop Miami at three game series 380 00:17:40.759 --> 00:17:42.400 against the Marlins, beginning this afternoon. 381 00:17:42.519 --> 00:17:43.720 Jack Dryers the opener. 382 00:17:44.039 --> 00:17:46.920 Sandy al Contida will go for the Marlins first pitch, 383 00:17:46.960 --> 00:17:47.519 coming up at. 384 00:17:47.400 --> 00:17:52.119 Three forty, joining Tim Kates on Dodgers on Deck. 385 00:17:52.200 --> 00:17:53.960 I accept everybody for who they are. 386 00:17:54.079 --> 00:17:57.240 This is Dodger insider David Basse. 387 00:17:57.680 --> 00:17:58.480 All right, David. 388 00:17:58.559 --> 00:18:00.799 Last night, so we saw him on the bass bass. 389 00:18:00.799 --> 00:18:03.000 We saw him defensively over the weekend as well. 390 00:18:03.000 --> 00:18:04.640 In Atlanta. He saw on Kim. 391 00:18:04.920 --> 00:18:07.720 He really adds a lot to this Dodgers team. 392 00:18:08.079 --> 00:18:10.480 Yeah, we saw it in the ninth inning last night, 393 00:18:10.640 --> 00:18:14.400 especially Beam the tying run ninety feet away without even 394 00:18:14.440 --> 00:18:17.759 having a hit. But today he makes his first major 395 00:18:17.839 --> 00:18:20.960 league started second base. And it's not a coincidence that 396 00:18:21.079 --> 00:18:25.519 Dave Roberts chose today to have Kim in the starting lineup. 397 00:18:25.880 --> 00:18:27.200 The Marlins are awful. 398 00:18:27.240 --> 00:18:30.200 You heard me ask him about the Marlins and how 399 00:18:30.200 --> 00:18:33.440 they hold runners on. If Kim gets on base, it's 400 00:18:33.480 --> 00:18:35.799 at least a double tim. I know Dave was trying 401 00:18:35.799 --> 00:18:38.519
