Well, last night, 38 00:01:41.159 --> 00:01:44.159 another rough start, another big hole to dig out of. 39 00:01:44.200 --> 00:01:47.359 For the fourth straight game, the Dodgers pitchers gave up 40 00:01:47.439 --> 00:01:49.920 multiple runs in the top half of the first. He 41 00:01:50.040 --> 00:01:52.599 just can't do that, meaning the Dodgers were playing from 42 00:01:52.640 --> 00:01:55.120 behind from the get go. Jack Dryer was the opener. 43 00:01:55.319 --> 00:01:57.319 The left hander gave up two runs of the first, 44 00:01:57.359 --> 00:01:59.680 then came back out in the second gave up one 45 00:01:59.719 --> 00:02:02.000 more than The Dodgers were down three to nothing after 46 00:02:02.040 --> 00:02:05.000 two innings in the third, Landon Knack took over and 47 00:02:05.159 --> 00:02:07.959 with more of the same lord Is Gariel Junior and 48 00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:10.560 then Gabriel Moreno, each with two run home runs, and 49 00:02:10.599 --> 00:02:14.479 the Diamondbacks were up seven to nothing after three innings. 50 00:02:14.639 --> 00:02:15.039 Yikes. 51 00:02:15.319 --> 00:02:19.199 Meanwhile, the Dodgers' offense struggled against Brandon Fought. He went 52 00:02:19.360 --> 00:02:22.360 six innings, did not strike on anybody was pitching the 53 00:02:22.439 --> 00:02:26.240 contact he got out. He scattered three hits over six innings. 54 00:02:26.439 --> 00:02:28.960 Those three hits happened to be three home runs. The 55 00:02:29.000 --> 00:02:31.120 first came in the fourth from rookie. 56 00:02:31.599 --> 00:02:34.840 This is a guy who wants and likes to pull 57 00:02:34.919 --> 00:02:37.319 the ball, and he hasn't been doing that well. 58 00:02:37.400 --> 00:02:38.680 Lead two two. 59 00:02:38.800 --> 00:02:41.719 This ball pulled in the air, deep to left field, 60 00:02:42.159 --> 00:02:48.319 toward the bullpen, head into the bullpen. That's Moore, Mookie like. 61 00:02:49.120 --> 00:02:51.159 The Dodgers have their first run. 62 00:02:51.039 --> 00:02:51.800 Of the game. 63 00:02:53.159 --> 00:02:57.199 And their first hit against Brandon Fought, a solo homer 64 00:02:57.240 --> 00:03:00.360 for Rookie Betts. It's now seven to one. 65 00:03:00.639 --> 00:03:03.360 Solo home run for Mookie, his seventh of the season. 66 00:03:03.479 --> 00:03:06.439 Dodgers down seven to one, still a big mountain to 67 00:03:06.479 --> 00:03:10.000 get over. In the sixth show, hey Otani goes opposite 68 00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:12.000 field to the left leaving the yard for a solo 69 00:03:12.039 --> 00:03:14.759 home run, his seventeenth of the season. It was only 70 00:03:14.759 --> 00:03:17.599 a solo home run, so the Dodgers down seven to two. 71 00:03:18.120 --> 00:03:20.800 The very next batter, Mookie Betts made it back to 72 00:03:20.840 --> 00:03:22.120 back checks two. 73 00:03:22.919 --> 00:03:26.360 Mookie hammer's another ball, what fielding deep? 74 00:03:26.439 --> 00:03:32.960 He's done it again? Oh Tani and Bets go back. 75 00:03:32.800 --> 00:03:35.560 To back of the six. It's a seven to three 76 00:03:35.680 --> 00:03:41.479 ball game. Eighth of the season for Bets, second of 77 00:03:41.520 --> 00:03:44.080 the night, Dodgers not going quietly. 78 00:03:44.560 --> 00:03:47.199 Second home run of the game for Mookie, his eighth 79 00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:49.120 of the season. That's the top tier play of the game, 80 00:03:49.159 --> 00:03:51.759 brought to you by ARCO Quality, top tier guays for less. 81 00:03:51.919 --> 00:03:54.960 Dodgers down seven to three and back within reach. It 82 00:03:55.080 --> 00:03:57.919 remained that way until the eighth, when Matt sour gave 83 00:03:58.000 --> 00:04:01.680 up a two run home run too Snakes up nine 84 00:04:01.719 --> 00:04:04.400 to three. Dodgers with one last hurrah in the ninth 85 00:04:04.560 --> 00:04:08.080 to Oscar Hernandez a fielder's choice, Tommy Emmon and RBI single, 86 00:04:08.159 --> 00:04:10.719 Dodgers made it a nine to five game. Two on 87 00:04:10.919 --> 00:04:14.680 two out showy Otani on deck, but Aysong Kim grinded 88 00:04:14.719 --> 00:04:17.639 out to end the game. Dodgers lose last night nine 89 00:04:17.639 --> 00:04:20.720 to five. Brandon fought. Don't look now. He leads the 90 00:04:20.720 --> 00:04:24.920 major leagues with seven wins. Jack Dryer against the loss Dodgers. 91 00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:28.040 Yikes have dropped four in a row, their longest losing 92 00:04:28.040 --> 00:04:30.680 streak of the season, also the first time they've lost 93 00:04:30.680 --> 00:04:34.839 four in a row at home since twenty eighteen. Dodgers 94 00:04:34.839 --> 00:04:37.639 now twenty nine to nineteen on this season. Tonight a 95 00:04:37.720 --> 00:04:39.920 chance though, to turn things around, get back on that 96 00:04:39.959 --> 00:04:43.480 winning track. Yoshinobu Yamamoto on the mound, the perfect guy 97 00:04:43.519 --> 00:04:45.920 to get the start first pitch of seven ten with more, 98 00:04:46.000 --> 00:04:48.240 we head out to the Gaping Motors broadcast booth and 99 00:04:48.279 --> 00:04:51.839 welcome in Tim Neverett and Rick Monday. Guys, Tim, thanks 100 00:04:51.920 --> 00:04:52.319 very much. 101 00:04:52.399 --> 00:04:55.160 It's going to be an absolutely perfect evening here at 102 00:04:55.199 --> 00:04:58.480 Dodgers Stadium weather wise, temperature heating up during the day 103 00:04:58.560 --> 00:05:01.079 is going to be very pleasant here to as the 104 00:05:01.079 --> 00:05:04.920 Dodgers and Diamondbacks play Game two of this three game set. 105 00:05:04.959 --> 00:05:07.439 The Dodgers, for the first time this season, have lost 106 00:05:07.480 --> 00:05:09.800 four straight. They don't want to make it five, and 107 00:05:09.839 --> 00:05:12.920 they're relying on the ace Yoshinobu Yamamoto to be the 108 00:05:12.959 --> 00:05:16.360 stopper tonight. Yamamoto five and three with a two twelve VRA. 109 00:05:17.040 --> 00:05:20.199 He'll go against Ryan Nelson. Nelson one on one with 110 00:05:20.319 --> 00:05:23.759 a five thirteen. Era makes his second start as he 111 00:05:23.800 --> 00:05:26.079 has come out of the bullpen to take the spot 112 00:05:26.120 --> 00:05:30.600 on the rotation of left hander Eduardo Rodriguez. And welcome back, 113 00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:34.079 mister Rick Monday from a little vacation and a family wedding. 114 00:05:34.120 --> 00:05:35.560 Good to see you, good to be back. 115 00:05:35.720 --> 00:05:39.639 And everything went splendidly in Florida. And thanks to Jose 116 00:05:39.800 --> 00:05:43.199 Mota and company that covered and out back in hardness, 117 00:05:43.199 --> 00:05:45.319 you know, losing Fourida row. It's not like this guy 118 00:05:45.399 --> 00:05:47.279 is falling, but it could be better. In fact, you 119 00:05:47.319 --> 00:05:50.360 start to look at the Nationalgue Western Division ten at 120 00:05:50.360 --> 00:05:52.959 the top of that division. Okay, Dodgers have now dropped 121 00:05:53.000 --> 00:05:56.120 six of ten, San Diego's dropped six of ten, San 122 00:05:56.120 --> 00:06:00.160 Francisco's dropped six of ten, and Arizona's won six of ten, 123 00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:02.519 so they have moved up to charts. So you have 124 00:06:02.800 --> 00:06:05.519 four teams in a Western Division. In our opinion of you, 125 00:06:05.560 --> 00:06:08.879 and I've talked about this before, Nationally West is the 126 00:06:08.879 --> 00:06:11.560 most competitive division in Major League Baseball. If you have 127 00:06:11.639 --> 00:06:15.079 four teams within three games of the top spot in 128 00:06:15.160 --> 00:06:18.920 the West. But the Dodgers need to curtail the number 129 00:06:19.000 --> 00:06:21.480 of runs that they are giving up, in particular, the 130 00:06:21.560 --> 00:06:24.000 number of runs they're giving up early in the game. 131 00:06:24.480 --> 00:06:27.519 Pitching has been an issue. Starting pitching has been an issue, 132 00:06:27.560 --> 00:06:30.360 and Dave Roberts certainly has made no secret of that. 133 00:06:30.439 --> 00:06:31.839 All I have to do is look and see what's 134 00:06:31.879 --> 00:06:34.319 going on with a lot of the pitchers on the 135 00:06:34.680 --> 00:06:37.399 injured list right now, having to go with somewhat of 136 00:06:37.439 --> 00:06:42.639 a bullpen game last night, moving dustin May up a 137 00:06:42.759 --> 00:06:46.279 day to pitch tomorrow because Dave Roberts saying they don't 138 00:06:46.279 --> 00:06:48.160 have anybody else they can pop in there for tomorrow. 139 00:06:48.199 --> 00:06:50.560 Yeah, and if we look at the bullpen itself, the 140 00:06:50.560 --> 00:06:52.759 bullpen has worked. Now we're going to throw some numbers 141 00:06:52.800 --> 00:06:55.839 at you, but two hundred and seven and two thirds 142 00:06:55.920 --> 00:06:58.920 endings that's out of the bullpen. That is the highest 143 00:06:59.079 --> 00:07:03.439 total of any pitched by any team in Major League Baseball. 144 00:07:03.639 --> 00:07:04.480 What percentage? 145 00:07:04.560 --> 00:07:07.439 It's forty eight point nine percent of all the innings 146 00:07:07.439 --> 00:07:10.199 the Dodgers have had to pitch is been covered by 147 00:07:10.279 --> 00:07:14.519 the bullpen. And the bullpen just cannot sustain itself. If 148 00:07:14.519 --> 00:07:16.959 you're going to be on that steady of a pace, so, 149 00:07:17.120 --> 00:07:19.600 you know, losing four in a row, they've allowed thirty 150 00:07:19.639 --> 00:07:23.959 two runs, sixteen by starters and sixteen by relievers. But 151 00:07:24.199 --> 00:07:26.920 in the relief corps out there in the bullpen, they 152 00:07:26.920 --> 00:07:28.040 can use some oxygen. 153 00:07:28.439 --> 00:07:31.480 They honestly could, so tonight they're hoping that they get 154 00:07:31.480 --> 00:07:33.560 a little depth from the starting pitcher as far as 155 00:07:33.600 --> 00:07:37.759 the lineup goes, No ta Oscar Hernandez, no Tommy edmund As, 156 00:07:37.839 --> 00:07:40.319 Dave Roberts. Giving those two a night off. They're fresh 157 00:07:40.360 --> 00:07:43.000 off the il doesn't want them going up, you know, 158 00:07:43.079 --> 00:07:43.839 too much, too. 159 00:07:43.839 --> 00:07:47.439 Soon, Yeah, exactly. And it's the workload if you have 160 00:07:47.720 --> 00:07:50.879 stress of guys and they're monitoring all kinds of different 161 00:07:50.920 --> 00:07:55.319 things with the with the medical crew and the trainers 162 00:07:55.319 --> 00:07:56.959 down there, but they don't want to tax it to 163 00:07:56.959 --> 00:07:59.600 where now you're going to be vulnerable to maybe getting 164 00:07:59.639 --> 00:08:02.240 back on that injured list, and especially with the day off, 165 00:08:02.240 --> 00:08:06.319 it's going to be on Thursday, a breather tonight. Back 166 00:08:06.319 --> 00:08:09.120 in there tomorrow, then you've got thursdays and off day 167 00:08:09.160 --> 00:08:10.399 back in harness in New York. 168 00:08:10.600 --> 00:08:12.879 That means Ky k Hernandez gets a start in center 169 00:08:12.920 --> 00:08:16.680 field and Hassan Kim comes into play second base. He 170 00:08:16.759 --> 00:08:19.000 ran into a little trouble in center field yesterday, but 171 00:08:19.360 --> 00:08:21.079 so far, so good at second for Kim. 172 00:08:21.279 --> 00:08:25.079 Yeah. I think that the comfort level at second base 173 00:08:25.199 --> 00:08:28.079 is something that we have seen a little bit more 174 00:08:28.120 --> 00:08:31.079 than in center field, and in centerfield. I've talked about 175 00:08:31.120 --> 00:08:33.799 it as well. He's got that late hop. He's actually 176 00:08:33.840 --> 00:08:36.600 in the air. He's mid air when the ball crosses 177 00:08:36.639 --> 00:08:40.720 home plate, and that has really curtailed his range. The left, right, 178 00:08:40.759 --> 00:08:42.720 in and back. Can't go anywhere I for you here 179 00:08:42.720 --> 00:08:44.679 in the air except straight down. So he's losing a 180 00:08:44.720 --> 00:08:47.559 step maybe two. Gonna watch it tonight and see if 181 00:08:47.559 --> 00:08:50.440 he does the same thing hopping into the air late. 182 00:08:50.799 --> 00:08:52.600 He's in the air where the ball crosses home plate. 183 00:08:52.639 --> 00:08:54.480 See if he does it at second base again tonight. 184 00:08:54.679 --> 00:08:58.320 Dodgers looking for win number thirty on the season, as 185 00:08:58.360 --> 00:09:00.600 they'd taken on the Diamondbacks and looked winning the four 186 00:09:00.639 --> 00:09:01.559 game losing skit. 187 00:09:01.759 --> 00:09:04.320 Tim all right, Dodgers been waiting for winning number thirty 188 00:09:04.320 --> 00:09:06.840 an hours for about four days.

Donate your car today. The 227 00:11:08.720 --> 00:11:11.000 Dodgers have lost four in a row for the first 228 00:11:11.000 --> 00:11:13.799 time all season. They need this to come to an 229 00:11:13.840 --> 00:11:18.600 and immediately. Keirrison and no better person than Yoshinobu Yamamoto. 230 00:11:19.320 --> 00:11:21.879 There really isn't. I mean, look, it's no secret. He 231 00:11:21.960 --> 00:11:24.799 is the ace of this team and he has deservedly 232 00:11:25.200 --> 00:11:27.799 become the ace of this team. So for him to 233 00:11:27.840 --> 00:11:29.759 take the ball today, for him to be a guy 234 00:11:29.799 --> 00:11:31.919 who's been able to eat up some innings to be 235 00:11:31.960 --> 00:11:34.919 efficient in those innings, that's gonna be the key. I mean, 236 00:11:35.000 --> 00:11:37.159 yesterday we heard what Dave Roberts was saying about just 237 00:11:37.200 --> 00:11:39.360 getting that first pitch strike and how that needs to 238 00:11:39.399 --> 00:11:42.000 be a point of emphasis for the rotation as well 239 00:11:42.000 --> 00:11:44.960 as just the pitching staff as a whole. So if 240 00:11:45.080 --> 00:11:47.679 Yoshinobu could come into this one, you can set the 241 00:11:47.720 --> 00:11:50.919 tone early. Another big thing that is just this team 242 00:11:50.960 --> 00:11:53.480 has been playing from behind as of late. So if 243 00:11:53.519 --> 00:11:55.559 he can have a shutdown person inning and then we 244 00:11:55.639 --> 00:11:57.759 can see, you know, the top of the order get 245 00:11:57.799 --> 00:11:59.679 going at the bottom of the first like that would 246 00:11:59.720 --> 00:12:02.840 just that would be huge for this team right now. 247 00:12:02.919 --> 00:12:05.519 So hopefully that will be the case. And like you said, 248 00:12:05.600 --> 00:12:08.440 for Yoshinobu to take the ball today, of all days, 249 00:12:09.480 --> 00:12:12.679 it gives the team a different level of confidence, especially 250 00:12:12.679 --> 00:12:15.000 considering just all of the injuries that the rotation is 251 00:12:15.039 --> 00:12:16.120 dealing with right now. 252 00:12:16.559 --> 00:12:21.879 Looking at the lineup tonight, no Tommy, no Tay Oscar Hernandez. 253 00:12:21.200 --> 00:12:21.879 What's going on? 254 00:12:23.080 --> 00:12:25.320 Yeah, so of course, what these guys are coming back 255 00:12:25.320 --> 00:12:27.720 from lower body injuries, and yes they just came off 256 00:12:27.720 --> 00:12:30.200 the il. But when you look at kind of whether 257 00:12:30.279 --> 00:12:33.320 with things look like ahead, playing three in a row, 258 00:12:33.480 --> 00:12:35.679 things like that, Dave Roberts just did he wanted to 259 00:12:35.720 --> 00:12:38.320 limit that and he did think about staggering their day. 260 00:12:38.440 --> 00:12:41.480 So maybe Tommy and there today, Tayo down tomorrow, but 261 00:12:41.759 --> 00:12:44.720 the Diamondbacks have Corbyn Burns pitching tomorrow, and he wanted 262 00:12:44.759 --> 00:12:47.240 to make sure that both of those guys were in 263 00:12:47.320 --> 00:12:51.000 the lineup facing him. So for today, it was more 264 00:12:51.039 --> 00:12:53.399 of okay for Tommy if he was in there today, 265 00:12:53.399 --> 00:12:55.679 then tomorrow that's four in a row. Wanted to avoid that. 266 00:12:55.840 --> 00:12:57.679 For Tao that would have been three in a row. 267 00:12:57.759 --> 00:13:00.559 So luckily for Andy Poyas, he's been playing excellent and 268 00:13:00.639 --> 00:13:03.200 right field to he'll you out there today. But it's 269 00:13:03.279 --> 00:13:06.039 really just a way to continue to play the long 270 00:13:06.080 --> 00:13:08.360 game for those guys. Yes, we want them in there, 271 00:13:08.360 --> 00:13:10.519 we want their bats in there, but for right now, 272 00:13:10.720 --> 00:13:14.279 we also want them healthy down the line. So playing 273 00:13:14.320 --> 00:13:16.600 that and also knowing that the stretch is only gonna 274 00:13:16.600 --> 00:13:18.399 get tougher moving forward as the team is going to 275 00:13:18.440 --> 00:13:19.679 be heading to New York on the. 276 00:13:19.639 --> 00:13:22.600 Next road trest Dodgers need that win to night. No 277 00:13:22.679 --> 00:13:25.080 better night to start a winning streak than the present night, 278 00:13:25.159 --> 00:13:27.440 and that is tonight in game two of this three games. 279 00:13:27.600 --> 00:13:29.960 Thank you, Kirsten, still the gum here on Marago Casino 280 00:13:30.000 --> 00:13:32.840 Dodgers on Deck.

Blake trying it, 300 00:14:39.320 --> 00:14:41.080 is starting to throw. That's good news. He's on the 301 00:14:41.120 --> 00:14:44.399 sixty day IL with the right forearm tightness. Michael Kopec's 302 00:14:44.399 --> 00:14:47.919 heading out to Oklahoma City for a minor league rehab stent. 303 00:14:48.039 --> 00:14:50.159 He needs to make at least three appearances. Bruce dark 304 00:14:50.200 --> 00:14:53.039 graderol fingers crossed. He can come back at some point 305 00:14:53.200 --> 00:14:55.600 and help out this Dodgers team. All right, We head 306 00:14:55.639 --> 00:14:57.879 back out to Dodger Stadium and checking with the Dodgers skipper. 307 00:14:58.080 --> 00:15:01.120 Any the questions for Dave Dave? 308 00:15:01.240 --> 00:15:04.919 Can you just describe Dave? Can you talk about the pressure. 309 00:15:05.399 --> 00:15:09.360 In the dugouts with Dave Roberts Dave. 310 00:15:10.399 --> 00:15:11.240 Dustin made tomorrow. 311 00:15:11.279 --> 00:15:13.559 I think it'll be the first time on four days rest. 312 00:15:13.600 --> 00:15:15.840 How much of that is just where he's progressed, and 313 00:15:15.840 --> 00:15:18.559 how much of that is just the need of the rotation. 314 00:15:19.559 --> 00:15:25.600 I think it's more the need of the rotation. I 315 00:15:25.600 --> 00:15:31.799 think he's physically able to handle it. Our rotation certainly 316 00:15:31.879 --> 00:15:35.240 needs it, and to not have the ability really to 317 00:15:35.320 --> 00:15:40.320 drop somebody in. And I think the progression is kind 318 00:15:40.360 --> 00:15:43.120 of fitting and kind of the timing is good for this. 319 00:15:44.080 --> 00:15:45.759 Let to be able to see him from multiple as 320 00:15:45.960 --> 00:15:48.720 you early man hasn't been fight as sharp bls. 321 00:15:49.320 --> 00:15:53.519 You know, we're trying to dig into that because the 322 00:15:53.600 --> 00:15:56.919 last two specifically, he's just been off just a little bit, 323 00:15:57.200 --> 00:16:01.240 and he's obviously got such good commands, so when it's 324 00:16:01.320 --> 00:16:04.799 not on, it's it's more kind of noticeable. 325 00:16:04.840 --> 00:16:05.240 I guess. 326 00:16:06.840 --> 00:16:11.879 I know that Mark said his work this before this 327 00:16:12.000 --> 00:16:16.480 start was really good. There's not a health component, and 328 00:16:16.600 --> 00:16:20.120 so I would expect him to be kind of back 329 00:16:20.159 --> 00:16:22.159 on par with what he normally does as far as 330 00:16:22.200 --> 00:16:22.679 the command. 331 00:16:22.720 --> 00:16:26.279 Tonight, I'll start like he's looking and he's coming to 332 00:16:26.360 --> 00:16:27.480 ace how much that is. 333 00:16:27.840 --> 00:16:30.879 Starts like today we have to be a sobber kind 334 00:16:30.879 --> 00:16:31.799 of get these right. 335 00:16:34.120 --> 00:16:35.840 This is this is one of those starts. I mean, 336 00:16:36.039 --> 00:16:40.600 obviously we're mired in a losing streak, and you know, 337 00:16:40.720 --> 00:16:44.120 he's our ace, and so he had he's you know, 338 00:16:44.320 --> 00:16:48.120 kind of had a couple of pedestrian outings his last two, 339 00:16:48.720 --> 00:16:52.879 but he's obviously had a fantastic start to the season. 340 00:16:52.960 --> 00:16:55.360 But these are the nights that you need your ace 341 00:16:55.440 --> 00:16:57.960 to be a stopper and go deep in a game. 342 00:16:58.200 --> 00:17:00.639 All Right, there's Dave Roberts talking about really his pitching 343 00:17:00.639 --> 00:17:02.759 staff needing to give him some length, no doubt about that. 344 00:17:02.799 --> 00:17:06.000 And that begins tonight with Yoshi Yamamoto, and we continue 345 00:17:06.039 --> 00:17:08.000 here on Dodgers on Deck. We will check in with 346 00:17:08.079 --> 00:17:11.359 David Vasse as we lead up to first pitch, Game 347 00:17:11.400 --> 00:17:14.599 two of this three game set Mexican Heritage Night out 348 00:17:14.599 --> 00:17:18.039 of Dodgers Stadium, Dodgers and Diamondbacks.

Do we see a former Dodger get 363 00:18:06.359 --> 00:18:07.400 tossed earlier today? 364 00:18:08.200 --> 00:18:08.559 Yeah? 365 00:18:08.640 --> 00:18:13.240 I keep tabs on Walker Buehler's small tenure with the 366 00:18:13.279 --> 00:18:16.319 Red Sox just to begin this new chapter in his career. 367 00:18:16.720 --> 00:18:19.359 And tonight was his first night back after being on 368 00:18:19.400 --> 00:18:23.640 the fifteen day il with right shoulder inflammation. They were 369 00:18:23.680 --> 00:18:26.839 playing at Fenway Park against the Mets, and in the 370 00:18:26.880 --> 00:18:30.279 third inning, oh Francisco Lindor, who was hit by a 371 00:18:30.319 --> 00:18:33.880 pitch by Buehler, stole second base and on the pitch 372 00:18:33.920 --> 00:18:37.599 that Buehler delivered, it was a strike, clear strike, but 373 00:18:37.640 --> 00:18:40.720 the home plate umpire Mark Esterbrook called it a ball, 374 00:18:41.200 --> 00:18:43.960 and Buller took in section to that and started to 375 00:18:44.000 --> 00:18:48.279 walk towards home plate, and Esterbrook had a very quick 376 00:18:48.319 --> 00:18:51.759 hook he threw out Bueller and former Dodger and current 377 00:18:51.799 --> 00:18:55.880 Red Sox manager Alex Korra. So that's what took place 378 00:18:55.880 --> 00:18:59.279 about an hour ago in the third inning at Fenway Park, 379 00:18:59.319 --> 00:19:04.160 Walker Bueller return not even three innings because he was ejected. 380 00:19:04.039 --> 00:19:06.279 Very animated Walker Baler. We know that there when he's 381 00:19:06.319 --> 00:19:08.279 out there on the mound. David's driven by Ford. If 382 00:19:08.279 --> 00:19:10.400 there's one thing we like, its choices, find yours with 383 00:19:10.440 --> 00:19:12.880 the four F one to fifty gas hybrid allwatchric tough. 384 00:19:12.880 --> 00:19:15.160 This mark can only be called the f one to 385 00:19:15.279 --> 00:19:17.480 fifty David. This team has lost four in a row. 386 00:19:17.720 --> 00:19:21.160 Why is it important that Yoshi gets to start tonight? 387 00:19:22.119 --> 00:19:25.200 Well, Yamamoto has been off to a great start, a 388 00:19:25.359 --> 00:19:28.839 cy Young type of start. But these are the type 389 00:19:28.839 --> 00:19:32.400 of games that you look to your best pitcher in 390 00:19:32.440 --> 00:19:36.519 your starting rotation to step up big, and that's where 391 00:19:36.799 --> 00:19:41.880 cy Young reputations are made. On knights like tonight, Yamamoto's 392 00:19:41.920 --> 00:19:44.119 got to come out and set the tone early for 393 00:19:44.200 --> 00:19:47.599 the Dodgers. Put up zeros to give this offense a 394 00:19:47.720 --> 00:19:51.200 chance to get a lead. So Dave Roberts can maneuver 395 00:19:51.359 --> 00:19:54.640 his bullpen a lot easier than what he's been able 396 00:19:54.640 --> 00:19:57.680 to do in the last five or six games, especially 397 00:19:57.759 --> 00:20:01.720 since he really doesn't have any more high leverage right 398 00:20:01.759 --> 00:20:05.359 handed relievers. In fact, you could argue that his two 399 00:20:05.440 --> 00:20:09.079 best believers are Tanner Scott and Alex Vesi right now, 400 00:20:09.279 --> 00:20:12.400 but it all starts with Yamamoto. This offense can score, 401 00:20:12.720 --> 00:20:15.200
