17
00:00:55.560 --> 00:00:58.840
<v Speaker 2>hours ago to really let us soak in about what

18
00:00:58.920 --> 00:01:01.600
<v Speaker 2>today means. We'll dive deeper into this print pitching matchup.

19
00:01:01.799 --> 00:01:04.200

00:01:10.879 --> 00:01:13.239
<v Speaker 2>by the way, so be listening for those picks. Shortly,

23
00:01:13.319 --> 00:01:15.640
<v Speaker 2>we'll visit with Kirsten Watson. In just a few minutes,

24
00:01:15.680 --> 00:01:18.120
<v Speaker 2>we'll send it out to the Gallpi Motors broadcast booth

25
00:01:18.319 --> 00:01:19.920
<v Speaker 2>with Tim Neffett and Rick Monday.

26
00:01:19.959 --> 00:01:20.959
<v Speaker 3>Well, last night, it.

27
00:01:20.959 --> 00:01:24.480
<v Speaker 2>Was May Day in April, yet Dustin May got the start.

28
00:01:24.480 --> 00:01:28.040
<v Speaker 2>The big redhead wins six solid innings, allowed one run

29
00:01:28.079 --> 00:01:31.000
<v Speaker 2>on three hits while punching out seven along the way,

30
00:01:31.280 --> 00:01:34.239
<v Speaker 2>and he got some early run support. Showy Otani let

31
00:01:34.280 --> 00:01:35.959
<v Speaker 2>off the bottom of the first with the single.

32
00:01:36.239 --> 00:01:37.519
<v Speaker 3>Next batter Mookie.

33
00:01:38.200 --> 00:01:41.760
<v Speaker 4>With the past history, you'd figure Mookie's gonna get some

34
00:01:41.879 --> 00:01:46.439
<v Speaker 4>damage done here tonight. Out of the stretches, sends a

35
00:01:46.519 --> 00:01:50.680
<v Speaker 4>Tello Tani off of first. The pitch swung hot hammer deep.

36
00:01:50.519 --> 00:01:54.760
<v Speaker 5>Left pield way, packet goes hit. Is gone.

37
00:01:55.280 --> 00:02:00.000
<v Speaker 4>Damage done for Mookie Betts as he's hit his four

38
00:02:00.319 --> 00:02:02.640
<v Speaker 4>home none of the season of the Dodgers jump on

39
00:02:02.760 --> 00:02:03.680
<v Speaker 4>top two nothing.

40
00:02:04.359 --> 00:02:07.079
<v Speaker 2>Just like that, a Dodgers two nothing lead on the

41
00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:10.599
<v Speaker 2>Mookie Bets to run home run. Dodgers would add to

42
00:02:10.639 --> 00:02:13.080
<v Speaker 2>that lead in the bottom of the third, a leadoff

43
00:02:13.199 --> 00:02:18.080
<v Speaker 2>solo shot from show Hey O Tawny four hundred and

44
00:02:18.360 --> 00:02:21.400
<v Speaker 2>eight feet number five on the season for show Hey.

45
00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:23.199
<v Speaker 3>The Dodgers of three to nothing.

46
00:02:23.240 --> 00:02:27.000
<v Speaker 2>In the fifth, leadoff double from Mookie Betts. Too bad

47
00:02:27.120 --> 00:02:29.400
<v Speaker 2>is later Will Smith.

48
00:02:29.560 --> 00:02:32.039
<v Speaker 4>And a two to one pitch and Will hits the

49
00:02:32.039 --> 00:02:34.360
<v Speaker 4>ground ball up the middle exit. They hit past the

50
00:02:34.479 --> 00:02:38.560
<v Speaker 4>diving Tovar. Smith is driven in a roun. Mookie scores

51
00:02:38.960 --> 00:02:43.719
<v Speaker 4>it is four to nothing. Will Smith is two for three.

52
00:02:44.199 --> 00:02:45.400
<v Speaker 4>That's his eight run down.

53
00:02:45.479 --> 00:02:48.560
<v Speaker 2>It in Will Smith with the top tier playing the

54
00:02:48.560 --> 00:02:50.960
<v Speaker 2>game brought to you by RCO quality top tier guests

55
00:02:50.960 --> 00:02:54.520
<v Speaker 2>for US. Without an RBI single in the fifth Kyle Farmer,

56
00:02:54.759 --> 00:02:57.039
<v Speaker 2>the only bright spot is David vat Say alluded to

57
00:02:57.159 --> 00:03:00.319
<v Speaker 2>yesterday You're on Dodgers on deck head an RBI single

58
00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:04.120
<v Speaker 2>in the sixth inning that broke open a scoreless drought

59
00:03:04.360 --> 00:03:05.280
<v Speaker 2>from Colorado.

60
00:03:05.520 --> 00:03:06.560
<v Speaker 3>Dodgers up four to one.

61
00:03:06.599 --> 00:03:08.159
<v Speaker 2>Will Smith would come back in the bottom of the

62
00:03:08.159 --> 00:03:10.680
<v Speaker 2>inning get that run back on a sack fly scoring

63
00:03:10.759 --> 00:03:13.280
<v Speaker 2>show Hey o Tani. The Rockies would score two on

64
00:03:13.319 --> 00:03:15.840
<v Speaker 2>a Goodman home run in the seventh, but the Dodgers

65
00:03:15.879 --> 00:03:18.039
<v Speaker 2>hang on and get the win five to three over

66
00:03:18.080 --> 00:03:21.479
<v Speaker 2>the Colorado Rockies. Dustin May gets his first win in

67
00:03:21.520 --> 00:03:25.080
<v Speaker 2>over two years. Tanner Scott gets his fifth save of

68
00:03:25.120 --> 00:03:27.680
<v Speaker 2>the season with the win. The Dodgers now twelve and

69
00:03:27.879 --> 00:03:31.039
<v Speaker 2>six overall on this season. Tonight, game two of this

70
00:03:31.159 --> 00:03:34.879
<v Speaker 2>three game set, Dodgers and Rockies Landonnack on the Mountain

71
00:03:34.919 --> 00:03:37.199
<v Speaker 2>with more. We head out to the Gallpin Motors broadcast

72
00:03:37.199 --> 00:03:39.879
<v Speaker 2>booth as we welcome in Tim Neverett and Rick Monday.

73
00:03:39.919 --> 00:03:42.439
<v Speaker 4>Guys, Tim, thanks very much. We get sent for Game

74
00:03:42.479 --> 00:03:44.919
<v Speaker 4>two of this three game series. It'll be another beautiful

75
00:03:44.960 --> 00:03:47.960
<v Speaker 4>night little on the cool side at Dodgers Stadium as

76
00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:51.719
<v Speaker 4>the Dodgers take on the Colorado Rockies. Winning last night

77
00:03:51.759 --> 00:03:53.639
<v Speaker 4>by a score five to three. They got off to

78
00:03:53.680 --> 00:03:56.000
<v Speaker 4>a really good start. Things slowed a little bit offensively,

79
00:03:56.039 --> 00:03:58.759
<v Speaker 4>but they certainly had enough and they had enough pitching

80
00:03:59.120 --> 00:04:01.120
<v Speaker 4>from Dustin May to get it done. Who had his

81
00:04:01.159 --> 00:04:04.719
<v Speaker 4>best doubting of the season tonight, It is Landing Knack.

82
00:04:04.840 --> 00:04:07.639
<v Speaker 4>He's looking for win number two. One to zero is

83
00:04:07.719 --> 00:04:10.439
<v Speaker 4>his record. He struggled a bit his last time out

84
00:04:10.439 --> 00:04:15.520
<v Speaker 4>in Washington and Ryan Feldner no decisions for the Rockies,

85
00:04:15.520 --> 00:04:18.040
<v Speaker 4>but looking at his numbers. He's deserved a better fate.

86
00:04:18.120 --> 00:04:20.920
<v Speaker 4>He's probably been their best pitcher so far this season.

87
00:04:21.399 --> 00:04:24.040
<v Speaker 4>And Moe, when you look at what today means, today

88
00:04:24.120 --> 00:04:26.879
<v Speaker 4>is Jackie Robinson Day, number forty two, his motor of

89
00:04:26.920 --> 00:04:30.199
<v Speaker 4>the grass and center field. The players for both teams

90
00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:34.600
<v Speaker 4>the staff met out in the centerfield plaza earlier around

91
00:04:34.639 --> 00:04:37.920
<v Speaker 4>the Jackie Robinson statue. That's a tradition that Dave Roberts

92
00:04:37.959 --> 00:04:41.399
<v Speaker 4>started a few years ago, and Kareem Abdul Jabbar was

93
00:04:41.399 --> 00:04:44.839
<v Speaker 4>there to speak and also with Kareem Sonya Panke, who

94
00:04:44.879 --> 00:04:47.600
<v Speaker 4>is the oldest granddaughter of Jackie Robinson. It's really a

95
00:04:47.639 --> 00:04:50.720
<v Speaker 4>special day here at Dodger Stadium, special all around Major

96
00:04:50.759 --> 00:04:52.319
<v Speaker 4>League Baseball, but particularly here.

97
00:04:52.480 --> 00:04:55.720
<v Speaker 6>Well, twenty five, six hundred and twenty three were on

98
00:04:55.879 --> 00:05:00.800
<v Speaker 6>hand at Ebesfield when Jackie Robinson didn't twenty eight years

99
00:05:00.800 --> 00:05:03.959
<v Speaker 6>of age, made his major league debut, and it was

100
00:05:04.600 --> 00:05:07.120
<v Speaker 6>quite a debut, not only for Major League Baseball, but

101
00:05:07.480 --> 00:05:11.160
<v Speaker 6>I think for society itself. And just talking to some

102
00:05:11.199 --> 00:05:13.639
<v Speaker 6>of his former teammates over the years and never really

103
00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:16.600
<v Speaker 6>had a chance to talk to Jackie Robinson. I met

104
00:05:16.600 --> 00:05:20.319
<v Speaker 6>the gentleman and he had a presence about him. That

105
00:05:20.519 --> 00:05:25.839
<v Speaker 6>was just different, just absolutely amazing. But talking to his

106
00:05:25.879 --> 00:05:29.879
<v Speaker 6>fellow teammates, you know, they all went through a period

107
00:05:29.879 --> 00:05:35.639
<v Speaker 6>of time that they relished that they were challenged also themselves,

108
00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:38.759
<v Speaker 6>and they all felt that they had something to do

109
00:05:38.959 --> 00:05:41.839
<v Speaker 6>with trying to make society much much better.

110
00:05:42.519 --> 00:05:44.959
<v Speaker 4>Well, we'll be talking a lot about Jackie Robinson during

111
00:05:44.959 --> 00:05:47.560
<v Speaker 4>the course of the broadcast tonight, of course, his meeting

112
00:05:48.000 --> 00:05:51.399
<v Speaker 4>and his famous quote and life is not important except

113
00:05:51.839 --> 00:05:55.680
<v Speaker 4>for the impact it has on other lives. Well, the

114
00:05:55.720 --> 00:05:57.920
<v Speaker 4>Dodgers trying to have an impact in the standings again,

115
00:05:58.040 --> 00:06:01.439
<v Speaker 4>twelve and six, looking for win numbers thirteen, trying to

116
00:06:01.519 --> 00:06:03.680
<v Speaker 4>keep pace with the Giants and the Padres. At this

117
00:06:03.759 --> 00:06:06.480
<v Speaker 4>stage of the season, it is early still, but the

118
00:06:06.519 --> 00:06:09.120
<v Speaker 4>Dodgers right there, bunched up in the top three in

119
00:06:09.160 --> 00:06:13.480
<v Speaker 4>the National League West. The Rockies, meantime, they are way back,

120
00:06:13.519 --> 00:06:15.920
<v Speaker 4>ten and a half off the pace already after just

121
00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:16.800
<v Speaker 4>sixteen games.

122
00:06:16.839 --> 00:06:18.439
<v Speaker 6>Well, the Dogs need to just take care of their

123
00:06:18.480 --> 00:06:20.720
<v Speaker 6>own backyard. We've heard as many many times in Major

124
00:06:20.759 --> 00:06:23.560
<v Speaker 6>League Baseball, any sports, and any competition that you have,

125
00:06:24.600 --> 00:06:26.759
<v Speaker 6>And they finally got the bats going, at least some

126
00:06:26.800 --> 00:06:28.879
<v Speaker 6>of the bats going. You know, last night, if you look,

127
00:06:28.920 --> 00:06:32.199
<v Speaker 6>and we've talked about it before, positions one through four

128
00:06:32.319 --> 00:06:36.199
<v Speaker 6>in Dave Roberts' starting lineup, the hitters were nine for seventeen.

129
00:06:36.240 --> 00:06:39.319
<v Speaker 6>They knocked in all five runs. Five through nine position

130
00:06:39.439 --> 00:06:43.079
<v Speaker 6>in the lineup one for fifteen. Obviously no runs battered in,

131
00:06:43.120 --> 00:06:45.399
<v Speaker 6>but that's kind of the story for the season. Because

132
00:06:45.439 --> 00:06:48.439
<v Speaker 6>one through four, collectively hitting it two ninety five, they've

133
00:06:48.519 --> 00:06:53.639
<v Speaker 6>knocked in forty nine runs. They've scored fifty five. Spots

134
00:06:53.680 --> 00:06:56.040
<v Speaker 6>five through nine have hit the lowest of Major League

135
00:06:56.079 --> 00:06:59.959
<v Speaker 6>Baseball collectively, just one seventy. That needs to change. Were

136
00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:02.279
<v Speaker 6>beginning to see some better swings from some of those

137
00:07:02.279 --> 00:07:04.319
<v Speaker 6>guys in the lower part of the lineup, and that's

138
00:07:04.360 --> 00:07:05.879
<v Speaker 6>desperately needed right now.

139
00:07:06.160 --> 00:07:09.439
<v Speaker 4>To Oscar Hernandez still unable to play tonight, and Key

140
00:07:09.519 --> 00:07:11.879
<v Speaker 4>k Hernandez is out of the lineup, so Chris Taylor

141
00:07:12.319 --> 00:07:14.800
<v Speaker 4>will be in there, batting eighth and playing center field

142
00:07:14.839 --> 00:07:17.040
<v Speaker 4>with Andy Pies getting another night in right field.

143
00:07:17.079 --> 00:07:19.439
<v Speaker 6>You know, you look at this lineup, I mean it's

144
00:07:19.439 --> 00:07:23.000
<v Speaker 6>steadfast really at the top of tany bets Freeman and Smith,

145
00:07:23.079 --> 00:07:25.959
<v Speaker 6>so you're going left, right, left, right, and then Confordo

146
00:07:26.040 --> 00:07:28.720
<v Speaker 6>batting in the five spot, he's a left hander, Edmund

147
00:07:28.720 --> 00:07:30.959
<v Speaker 6>the switch hitter, followed by Munsei the lefty, and they

148
00:07:31.000 --> 00:07:33.959
<v Speaker 6>heed Bett Taylor and then pies and pies over and

149
00:07:34.079 --> 00:07:38.120
<v Speaker 6>right field. And for Chris Taylor. Taylor needs some playing

150
00:07:38.160 --> 00:07:41.439
<v Speaker 6>time in order to get not only from a defensive standpoint.

151
00:07:41.439 --> 00:07:44.319
<v Speaker 6>He came in the ninth ending last night in the outfield,

152
00:07:44.319 --> 00:07:47.079
<v Speaker 6>but he needs them at bats desperately and try and

153

204
00:10:21.759 --> 00:10:25.879
<v Speaker 2>April fifteenth, Jackie Robinson Day a special day certainly around

205
00:10:25.960 --> 00:10:29.240
<v Speaker 2>the world of baseball and professional sports, and the Dodgers

206
00:10:29.240 --> 00:10:31.279
<v Speaker 2>today had a little gathering at his statue.

207
00:10:31.320 --> 00:10:34.720
<v Speaker 8>Kirston, Yeah, with visiting Jackie Robinson day to day that

208
00:10:34.759 --> 00:10:38.000
<v Speaker 8>he broke the color barrier. It means so much to

209
00:10:38.279 --> 00:10:40.519
<v Speaker 8>society as a whole. But when you look at the

210
00:10:40.559 --> 00:10:43.879
<v Speaker 8>Dodgers organization, the organization that Jackie played for, that he

211
00:10:44.000 --> 00:10:47.799
<v Speaker 8>broke the color barrier with it's on a whole nother level,

212
00:10:47.840 --> 00:10:49.559
<v Speaker 8>and so the Dodgers take a lot of pride in that.

213
00:10:49.799 --> 00:10:53.000
<v Speaker 8>So today actually, of course we have the statue at

214
00:10:53.080 --> 00:10:57.080
<v Speaker 8>Centerfield Plaza. So today, just like every year, the Dodgers

215
00:10:57.120 --> 00:10:59.759
<v Speaker 8>and the visiting teams that being the Rockies, they came together.

216
00:11:00.120 --> 00:11:02.960
<v Speaker 8>But this year they had a few special guests and

217
00:11:03.000 --> 00:11:05.960
<v Speaker 8>one of them was Kareem Abdul Jabbar, and Kareem was

218
00:11:06.000 --> 00:11:08.840
<v Speaker 8>someone who had a relationship with Jackie. He actually the

219
00:11:08.879 --> 00:11:11.360
<v Speaker 8>reason he went to UCLA is because Jackie wrote him

220
00:11:11.399 --> 00:11:13.279
<v Speaker 8>a letter saying he felt that that was the right

221
00:11:13.279 --> 00:11:16.159
<v Speaker 8>school for him to attend. And he shared a story

222
00:11:16.200 --> 00:11:18.360
<v Speaker 8>of just the first time he actually met him in person,

223
00:11:18.799 --> 00:11:21.720
<v Speaker 8>the impact that he had on his basketball career, and

224
00:11:21.759 --> 00:11:24.399
<v Speaker 8>also just the impact he's had on society and what

225
00:11:24.440 --> 00:11:26.559
<v Speaker 8>it means to have been a man back then but

226
00:11:26.639 --> 00:11:30.080
<v Speaker 8>also to be a man today, and so understanding that

227
00:11:30.440 --> 00:11:33.519
<v Speaker 8>these moments in the players who are all here today

228
00:11:33.639 --> 00:11:35.600
<v Speaker 8>in their lives, it's bigger than them and the impact

229
00:11:35.639 --> 00:11:37.759
<v Speaker 8>they can have on society is huge, and Joe just

230
00:11:37.799 --> 00:11:39.759
<v Speaker 8>to continue to keep that in mind. So it was

231
00:11:39.759 --> 00:11:42.279
<v Speaker 8>a really special day. Even Dave Roberts when he spoke

232
00:11:42.320 --> 00:11:45.000
<v Speaker 8>to the media about Jackie Robinson Day, he said, you

233
00:11:45.039 --> 00:11:47.600
<v Speaker 8>know it, it hits you as an athlete, of course, and

234
00:11:47.679 --> 00:11:50.039
<v Speaker 8>as a person of color and someone who was playing

235
00:11:50.080 --> 00:11:52.600
<v Speaker 8>this game that Jackie played. But when you put on

236
00:11:52.639 --> 00:11:55.720
<v Speaker 8>a Dodger's uniform and it has that forty two on it,

237
00:11:55.840 --> 00:12:00.200
<v Speaker 8>and you see everything that he did to allow for

238
00:12:00.240 --> 00:12:03.159
<v Speaker 8>people of color to be in this position, whether it's

239
00:12:03.200 --> 00:12:05.519
<v Speaker 8>on the field or off the field. Just in society,

240
00:12:06.320 --> 00:12:09.240
<v Speaker 8>it's it's huge. So it's a special day for all

241
00:12:09.279 --> 00:12:11.440
<v Speaker 8>of the players who get to just wear forty two

242
00:12:11.519 --> 00:12:14.279
<v Speaker 8>on their backs, and for the Dodgers, I think it

243
00:12:14.480 --> 00:12:17.080
<v Speaker 8>just there's a little bit more so even today. Actually

244
00:12:17.039 --> 00:12:18.720
<v Speaker 8>they don't be in the Brooklyn Dodgers hats, and I'll

245
00:12:18.759 --> 00:12:20.399
<v Speaker 8>give you a lot of information there, but they will

246
00:12:20.440 --> 00:12:23.519
<v Speaker 8>be in the Brooklyn Dodgers hats and they have yeah,

247
00:12:23.639 --> 00:12:26.440
<v Speaker 8>Jackie signats underneath. So it's gonna be a fun one tonight.

248
00:12:26.360 --> 00:12:27.039
<v Speaker 3>No doubt about it.

249
00:12:27.120 --> 00:12:30.519
<v Speaker 2>Special day for the Dodgers, and certainly special day around baseball.

250
00:12:30.559 --> 00:12:32.240
<v Speaker 2>Curious that we appreciate it still to come here on

<v Speaker 2>To Dodgers stated he'd been checking out the Dodgers skipper A.

277
00:13:51.279 --> 00:13:54.159
<v Speaker 5>Questions for Dave Dave? Can you just describe Dave?

278
00:13:54.240 --> 00:13:57.600
<v Speaker 3>Can you talk about the pressure in the dugouts?

279
00:13:57.639 --> 00:14:01.600
<v Speaker 8>With Dave Roberts last year during the postseason, you talked

280
00:14:01.639 --> 00:14:03.639
<v Speaker 8>about just how you were able to kind of take

281
00:14:03.639 --> 00:14:06.559
<v Speaker 8>a step back and as you've just been around this

282
00:14:06.639 --> 00:14:10.080
<v Speaker 8>game for even longer, learned to appreciate different moments. With

283
00:14:10.240 --> 00:14:12.799
<v Speaker 8>Jackie Robinson day, when did you really kind of learn

284
00:14:12.840 --> 00:14:15.360
<v Speaker 8>to appreciate what it meant to be in a Dodger's

285
00:14:15.440 --> 00:14:20.840
<v Speaker 8>uniform to represent all that he meant just to this game.

286
00:14:20.799 --> 00:14:21.600
<v Speaker 1>And to this moment.

287
00:14:22.919 --> 00:14:27.120
<v Speaker 9>Wow, that's a great question. I think that's just, you know,

288
00:14:27.120 --> 00:14:31.279
<v Speaker 9>it's one of those things that it's I don't think

289
00:14:31.440 --> 00:14:34.320
<v Speaker 9>it really landed with me until I got to the

290
00:14:34.320 --> 00:14:38.600
<v Speaker 9>big leagues and I got to wear number forty two.

291
00:14:41.360 --> 00:14:43.879
<v Speaker 9>I think that I'd like to think all of us

292
00:14:43.919 --> 00:14:46.600
<v Speaker 9>have had our moments where we realize that things are

293
00:14:46.639 --> 00:14:50.360
<v Speaker 9>bigger than ourselves, right, And so when I got to

294
00:14:50.480 --> 00:14:55.759
<v Speaker 9>wear forty two with the Dodgers a little bit, and

295
00:14:55.840 --> 00:14:58.960
<v Speaker 9>he felt like I was Jackie Robinson on first base.

296
00:14:59.320 --> 00:15:06.720
<v Speaker 9>And then I got to really appreciate, as I've gotten

297
00:15:06.720 --> 00:15:11.600
<v Speaker 9>older and you get more wise and experience the sacrifice

298
00:15:11.799 --> 00:15:16.159
<v Speaker 9>sacrifices that he made and how fortunate I was to

299
00:15:16.200 --> 00:15:19.480
<v Speaker 9>play major league baseball. So it was when I got

300
00:15:19.480 --> 00:15:23.399
<v Speaker 9>to the big leagues wearing number forty two, then really

301
00:15:23.440 --> 00:15:26.879
<v Speaker 9>trying to do a deeper dive on Jackie Robinson, and

302
00:15:26.919 --> 00:15:33.039
<v Speaker 9>then getting to know Sharon and Rachel and David, and

303
00:15:33.080 --> 00:15:35.360
<v Speaker 9>then I could kind of kind of came full circle

304
00:15:35.360 --> 00:15:35.639

315
00:16:09.080 --> 00:16:10.960
<v Speaker 2>deeper into the numbers between the two coming up in

316
00:16:11.080 --> 00:16:11.759
<v Speaker 2>just a little bit.

317

<v Speaker 3>First pitch at seven.

318
00:16:12.960 --> 00:16:17.480
<v Speaker 1>Ten, joining Tim Kats on Dodgers on deck.

319
00:16:17.559 --> 00:16:19.320
<v Speaker 5>I accept everybody for who they are.

320
00:16:19.440 --> 00:16:24.000
<v Speaker 2>This is Dodger insider David Bai all right, DV Jackie

321
00:16:24.080 --> 00:16:26.399
<v Speaker 2>Robinson Day, Dave robers who heard from him. He took

322
00:16:26.399 --> 00:16:28.279
<v Speaker 2>the team out to the statue in two thirty and

323
00:16:28.320 --> 00:16:29.879
<v Speaker 2>you were there with him, right.

324
00:16:31.080 --> 00:16:31.279
<v Speaker 8>Yeah.

325
00:16:31.320 --> 00:16:33.919
<v Speaker 7>It's always special and it's been a tradition for the

326
00:16:34.000 --> 00:16:38.600
<v Speaker 7>last I don't know, nine Jackie Robinson days. You know,

327
00:16:38.720 --> 00:16:42.759
<v Speaker 7>when the Dodgers first unveiled that Jackie Robinson statue, there

328
00:16:42.879 --> 00:16:45.879
<v Speaker 7>was no center field plazis, so it was on the

329
00:16:45.919 --> 00:16:50.480
<v Speaker 7>third base reserve entry area. And once they renovated that

330
00:16:50.600 --> 00:16:54.000
<v Speaker 7>centerfield plas and put that Jackie Robinson statue out there

331
00:16:54.039 --> 00:16:58.639
<v Speaker 7>as the centerpiece, it became a little bit more special

332
00:16:58.720 --> 00:17:01.840
<v Speaker 7>of a day to not only had that statue there,

333
00:17:02.279 --> 00:17:04.799
<v Speaker 7>but to have the Dodger players and Dave Roberts go

334
00:17:04.880 --> 00:17:07.599
<v Speaker 7>out there and then start to invite the team the

335
00:17:07.640 --> 00:17:10.720
<v Speaker 7>Dodgers were playing to go out there and over the years,

336
00:17:10.720 --> 00:17:14.480
<v Speaker 7>they've had some very special speakers. Today it was the

337
00:17:14.519 --> 00:17:19.000
<v Speaker 7>great Kareem Abdul Jabbar, who obviously carried on the legacy

338
00:17:19.000 --> 00:17:23.119
<v Speaker 7>of Jackie Robinson by being an activist and a scholar

339
00:17:23.319 --> 00:17:25.480
<v Speaker 7>in a lot of different ways. And I had a

340
00:17:25.599 --> 00:17:28.359
<v Speaker 7>chance to catch up with the Basketball Hall of Famer

341
00:17:28.480 --> 00:17:32.799
<v Speaker 7>after he addressed the Dodgers and Rockies there, Kaima, what

342
00:17:32.799 --> 00:17:35.240
<v Speaker 7>did it mean to be here for this day and

343
00:17:35.319 --> 00:17:37.640
<v Speaker 7>to be able to be asked to speak with how

344
00:17:37.720 --> 00:17:40.440
<v Speaker 7>much Jackie and the Dodgers meant to you.

345
00:17:41.200 --> 00:17:45.119
<v Speaker 10>Well, it's great to be here on this day, especially

346
00:17:45.759 --> 00:17:49.119
<v Speaker 10>because he was a hero of mine from day one,

347
00:17:49.200 --> 00:17:53.240
<v Speaker 10>you know, when I became aware of him, and it

348
00:17:53.319 --> 00:17:54.799
<v Speaker 10>was a good choice for me.

349
00:17:55.680 --> 00:17:58.519
<v Speaker 7>What did you remember about that moment where you met

350
00:17:58.559 --> 00:18:01.200
<v Speaker 7>Jackie for the first time with Bill.

351
00:18:01.680 --> 00:18:06.559
<v Speaker 10>I was totally surprised because it was about the dinner,

352
00:18:06.680 --> 00:18:10.039
<v Speaker 10>was about the rookie of the year and what was

353
00:18:10.079 --> 00:18:13.359
<v Speaker 10>he doing there? And later on I found out that

354
00:18:13.400 --> 00:18:19.680
<v Speaker 10>he lettered in basketball at UCLA, basketball, baseball, track and field,

355
00:18:20.079 --> 00:18:24.559
<v Speaker 10>and football. Well, it means that Jackie had an idea

356
00:18:24.880 --> 00:18:28.920
<v Speaker 10>of what we had to confront. We had to confront segregation,

357
00:18:29.640 --> 00:18:34.240
<v Speaker 10>and in many ways we're still confronting it, but it's

358
00:18:34.240 --> 00:18:38.440
<v Speaker 10>worth it, and it certainly makes people respect us as

359
00:18:38.480 --> 00:18:42.839
<v Speaker 10>a country when they see that there is some tension

360
00:18:42.920 --> 00:18:44.839
<v Speaker 10>there and that good people are trying to do the

361
00:18:44.920 --> 00:18:45.359
<v Speaker 10>right thing.

362
00:18:46.960 --> 00:18:49.759
<v Speaker 7>That was the great Kareem abdul Jabbar, who was the

363
00:18:49.799 --> 00:18:53.079
<v Speaker 7>centerpiece of the moment out there at two thirty this

364
00:18:53.200 --> 00:18:57.480

<v Speaker 2>two of them last night. Feels like he's trying to

454
00:23:29.039 --> 00:23:32.880
<v Speaker 2>get on base anyway possible. Max Munsey more than a

455
00:23:32.920 --> 00:23:37.759
<v Speaker 2>half a walk into night's game. Dodgers and the Rockies

456
00:23:38.279 --> 00:23:39.359
<v Speaker 2>prize picks again.

457
00:23:39.480 --> 00:23:41.880
<v Speaker 3>Use the code go blue. Prize picks.

458
00:23:41.960 --> 00:23:45.319
<v Speaker 1>Run your game and now joined by David bas saying,

459
00:23:45.480 --> 00:23:51.720
<v Speaker 1>here's La Dodgers broadcaster and World Series champion Dodger Rick Monday.

460
00:23:52.000 --> 00:23:52.160
<v Speaker 6>Rick.

461
00:23:52.240 --> 00:23:54.720
<v Speaker 7>The Dodgers were back on the winning side of things

462
00:23:54.799 --> 00:23:58.480
<v Speaker 7>last night, but certainly wanting more after last night's game

463
00:23:58.519 --> 00:23:59.839
<v Speaker 7>and leaving ten men on base.

464
00:24:00.160 --> 00:24:03.440
<v Speaker 6>I have to ask you this because the night before

465
00:24:03.880 --> 00:24:06.119
<v Speaker 6>I made a comment that you normally get more phone

466
00:24:06.119 --> 00:24:10.240
<v Speaker 6>calls oddly enough when the Dodgers lose. How are the

467
00:24:10.240 --> 00:24:11.000
<v Speaker 6>calls last night?

468
00:24:11.440 --> 00:24:11.599
<v Speaker 4>Rick?

469
00:24:11.680 --> 00:24:13.960
<v Speaker 5>There were not too many people calling last night.

470
00:24:14.039 --> 00:24:14.759
<v Speaker 6>Isn't that weird?

471
00:24:15.079 --> 00:24:17.599
<v Speaker 7>And if they would have lost, the sky would have

472
00:24:17.640 --> 00:24:18.839
<v Speaker 7>been falling last night?

473
00:24:18.960 --> 00:24:21.920
<v Speaker 6>Again? Yes, again, yes, as it has been well. On

474
00:24:21.960 --> 00:24:23.559
<v Speaker 6>the road trip it fell a lot, didn't it.

475
00:24:23.960 --> 00:24:24.200
<v Speaker 5>Yes?

476
00:24:24.480 --> 00:24:27.039
<v Speaker 7>And I guess you had that unique perspective of being

477
00:24:27.039 --> 00:24:30.480
<v Speaker 7>a Dodger that defended a championship the following year in

478
00:24:30.559 --> 00:24:34.279
<v Speaker 7>nineteen eighty two. Did your team feel the expectations of

479
00:24:34.640 --> 00:24:36.880
<v Speaker 7>what you guys accomplished the year before?

480
00:24:37.000 --> 00:24:41.160
<v Speaker 6>David, I think anytime, and regardless of the business, let's

481
00:24:41.160 --> 00:24:44.240
<v Speaker 6>look at it from a business standpoint. You have a restaurant,

482
00:24:44.279 --> 00:24:48.480
<v Speaker 6>a bar, a printing press, radio station, whatever it is,

483
00:24:49.039 --> 00:24:52.440
<v Speaker 6>you're rated up there, up on top. Everybody wants a

484
00:24:52.440 --> 00:24:55.000
<v Speaker 6>part of you because they're trying to figure out what

485
00:24:55.039 --> 00:24:57.920
<v Speaker 6>it is that you do that's special, unique to where

486
00:24:57.960 --> 00:25:00.839
<v Speaker 6>either you get the most attention, or you the most games,

487
00:25:00.920 --> 00:25:03.519
<v Speaker 6>or you win the most pennants, or have postseason playing.

488
00:25:03.920 --> 00:25:07.000
<v Speaker 6>So yes, they're being scrutinized every time they turn around.

489
00:25:07.319 --> 00:25:10.519
<v Speaker 6>If you look at all the periodicals they were written

490
00:25:10.599 --> 00:25:12.920
<v Speaker 6>during the off season, it was about this team. I

491
00:25:12.960 --> 00:25:15.799
<v Speaker 6>referred to them in spring turning the very first day

492
00:25:16.160 --> 00:25:19.000
<v Speaker 6>last year, the very first day this year as being

493
00:25:19.240 --> 00:25:23.279
<v Speaker 6>perceived as the Goliath of baseball. And last year David

494
00:25:23.319 --> 00:25:27.640
<v Speaker 6>did not show up to slay Goliath. And in my estimation,

495
00:25:27.680 --> 00:25:31.559
<v Speaker 6>Goliath during the off season got bigger, stronger, and better

496
00:25:32.480 --> 00:25:34.799
<v Speaker 6>for this year. But they still have to win on

497
00:25:34.839 --> 00:25:37.480
<v Speaker 6>the field. And right now everybody's looking at San Diego.

498
00:25:37.599 --> 00:25:39.160
<v Speaker 6>San Diego is not going to go away. They have

499
00:25:39.200 --> 00:25:41.440
<v Speaker 6>a good ball club. I think the team that's in

500
00:25:41.519 --> 00:25:44.599
<v Speaker 6>question is the San Francisco Giants. Not to take away

501
00:25:44.640 --> 00:25:46.799
<v Speaker 6>what they've done so far, they've done a Marvel's job.

502
00:25:47.240 --> 00:25:49.400
<v Speaker 6>I don't think the Giants will be there in the

503
00:25:49.440 --> 00:25:51.799
<v Speaker 6>one to two spot when all the dust settles at

504
00:25:51.799 --> 00:25:52.599
<v Speaker 6>the end of the year.

505
00:25:52.559 --> 00:25:55.559
<v Speaker 5>So the Giants won't be slaying the Giants Goliath.

506
00:25:55.680 --> 00:25:58.319
<v Speaker 6>No. You know what is weird today is the anniversary

507
00:25:58.319 --> 00:26:00.119
<v Speaker 6>if you look at it for nineteen fifty eight, that

508
00:26:00.160 --> 00:26:02.839
<v Speaker 6>the Dodgers played their first Major League game on the

509
00:26:02.839 --> 00:26:05.799
<v Speaker 6>West Coast and it was against the Giants at Seal

510
00:26:05.920 --> 00:26:09.680
<v Speaker 6>Stadium in San Francisco, and it was Don Drysdale and

511
00:26:09.720 --> 00:26:12.119
<v Speaker 6>the Dodgers got shut out. So this is an anniversary,

512
00:26:12.200 --> 00:26:15.839
<v Speaker 6>and the biggest anniversary is Jackie Robinson Day. Not just

513
00:26:15.880 --> 00:26:19.200
<v Speaker 6>in baseball, but I think if we're looking at society,

514
00:26:20.440 --> 00:26:25.480
<v Speaker 6>this was an impactful day, not just in the baseball world,

515
00:26:25.559 --> 00:26:27.319
<v Speaker 6>but I think in the world itself.

516
00:26:27.279 --> 00:26:27.759
<v Speaker 5>No doubt.

517
00:26:27.880 --> 00:26:30.519
<v Speaker 7>And you had such a close relationship with one of

518
00:26:30.599 --> 00:26:34.200
<v Speaker 7>Jackie's teammates, Don Newcomb. What do you remember Don and

519
00:26:34.279 --> 00:26:37.759
<v Speaker 7>Knuwke telling you about Jackie in just that period of time.

520
00:26:38.240 --> 00:26:42.359
<v Speaker 6>I think the strength that Jackie had and Rachel had

521
00:26:42.440 --> 00:26:45.880
<v Speaker 6>his wife because they had to go through a lot.

522
00:26:46.200 --> 00:26:48.960
<v Speaker 6>We will never know the depth of what they went

523
00:26:49.039 --> 00:26:52.599
<v Speaker 6>through individually. It was also shared by his teammates and

524
00:26:52.640 --> 00:26:56.279
<v Speaker 6>in their families too, because I know in some of

525
00:26:56.319 --> 00:27:02.359
<v Speaker 6>the fantasy camps we would have teammates of Jackie kind

526
00:27:02.359 --> 00:27:05.359
<v Speaker 6>of share with us the fact that they all shared

527
00:27:05.480 --> 00:27:08.480
<v Speaker 6>in this area. This was a statement that was made

528
00:27:08.920 --> 00:27:11.359
<v Speaker 6>not just by the Dodgers. It was made by baseball.

529
00:27:11.359 --> 00:27:14.720
<v Speaker 6>It was made by society, and it took too long

530
00:27:14.960 --> 00:27:17.319
<v Speaker 6>to make that statement, but it was made, and it

531
00:27:17.400 --> 00:27:20.039
<v Speaker 6>wasn't just Jackie out there alone. He had some people

532
00:27:20.079 --> 00:27:22.720
<v Speaker 6>around him at the time. And for Branch Ricky to

533
00:27:22.799 --> 00:27:27.240
<v Speaker 6>understand who it was decarried the cross, if you will,

534
00:27:27.920 --> 00:27:30.480
<v Speaker 6>for that very first game. He picked the right man,

535
00:27:30.799 --> 00:27:33.200
<v Speaker 6>and he also picked the right family because a very

536
00:27:33.200 --> 00:27:36.000
<v Speaker 6>gracious woman, Rachel Robinson, was right there by his side.

537
00:27:36.200 --> 00:27:38.640
<v Speaker 5>No doubt. Without Rachel, there is no Jackie, right.

538
00:27:38.680 --> 00:27:41.960
<v Speaker 6>Ricky, Yeah, exactly. And I think Jackie would talk about

539
00:27:41.960 --> 00:27:44.680
<v Speaker 6>that a great deal. And we have seen over the

540
00:27:44.759 --> 00:27:49.000
<v Speaker 6>years Rachel just continued to represent the Robinson family too

541
00:27:49.039 --> 00:27:51.079
<v Speaker 6>at the Heights. Just unbelievable.

542
00:27:51.400 --> 00:27:54.160
<v Speaker 7>Rick If I remember the conversations he used to have

543
00:27:54.279 --> 00:27:57.799
<v Speaker 7>with Tommy Davis. Did Tommy tell the story that Jackie

544
00:27:58.079 --> 00:28:00.680
<v Speaker 7>actually recruited him when he was deciding who to sign with.

545
00:28:00.759 --> 00:28:02.960
<v Speaker 6>Ye, he was trying to figure out who he was

546
00:28:03.000 --> 00:28:04.799
<v Speaker 6>going to sign with and if he was going to

547
00:28:04.880 --> 00:28:07.799
<v Speaker 6>sign and the phone rang in his house and they

548
00:28:07.839 --> 00:28:10.839
<v Speaker 6>picked it up and it was Jackie Robinson calling. He goes,

549
00:28:10.839 --> 00:28:13.559
<v Speaker 6>as far as I'm concerned, that did it so unt

550
00:28:13.559 --> 00:28:14.759
<v Speaker 6>sealed and delivered right there?

551
00:28:14.799 --> 00:28:15.799
<v Speaker 5>That would do it for me too.

552
00:28:16.000 --> 00:28:22.519
<v Speaker 6>Can you imagine that? I mean, it's amazing it's amazing

553
00:28:22.559 --> 00:28:25.440
<v Speaker 6>what happens, and you look at it. I never really

554
00:28:26.200 --> 00:28:30.400
<v Speaker 6>knew Jackie. I ran into him here and was introduced

555
00:28:30.440 --> 00:28:33.519
<v Speaker 6>and shook his hands, and when he was being honored

556
00:28:33.519 --> 00:28:37.000
<v Speaker 6>here at Dodgers Stadium many many years ago, obviously, but

557
00:28:37.480 --> 00:28:40.640
<v Speaker 6>he had an aura about him that was just he

558
00:28:40.680 --> 00:28:43.319
<v Speaker 6>didn't ask for it, he didn't demand it. It was there.

559
00:28:45.200 --> 00:28:45.880
<v Speaker 5>Interesting stuff.

560
00:28:45.960 --> 00:28:48.400
<v Speaker 7>Rick, thanks a lot for sharing, and we'll check back

00:30:34.240 --> 00:30:35.519

604
00:30:46.799 --> 00:30:49.799
<v Speaker 7>it was his first experience wearing the forty two in

605
00:30:49.839 --> 00:30:53.119
<v Speaker 7>a Dodger uniform on Jackie Robinson Day. And that's the

606
00:30:53.160 --> 00:30:56.039
<v Speaker 7>great Michael Kopek. Michael, thanks a lot for the time,

607
00:30:56.119 --> 00:30:56.839
<v Speaker 7>appreciate it.

608
00:30:56.839 --> 00:30:57.640
<v Speaker 12>Thanks for having me.

609
00:30:57.880 --> 00:30:59.000
<v Speaker 5>What was it like for you?

610
00:30:59.119 --> 00:31:01.279
<v Speaker 7>I mean, you've been in Major League Baseball with a

611
00:31:01.319 --> 00:31:04.559
<v Speaker 7>couple of other teams on Jackie Robinson Day, But what

612
00:31:04.599 --> 00:31:06.599
<v Speaker 7>was it like for you to experience what you did

613
00:31:06.599 --> 00:31:07.559
<v Speaker 7>at the statue?

614
00:31:08.000 --> 00:31:09.880
<v Speaker 12>I mean, I think Jackie Robinson Day in general was

615
00:31:09.960 --> 00:31:13.119
<v Speaker 12>just like a really special day to baseball. You know,

616
00:31:13.240 --> 00:31:16.720
<v Speaker 12>it shows you know, not only the history of our

617
00:31:16.759 --> 00:31:19.519
<v Speaker 12>country and the growth of this game all in one,

618
00:31:19.640 --> 00:31:24.640
<v Speaker 12>but it encapsulates a great player breaking through that. But

619
00:31:24.920 --> 00:31:26.640
<v Speaker 12>you know, wearing forty two on your back, you know,

620
00:31:26.680 --> 00:31:30.559
<v Speaker 12>in a different uniform, it doesn't hit quite as hard

621
00:31:30.559 --> 00:31:33.880
<v Speaker 12>as wearing it in the Dodger blue. And then it's

622
00:31:33.880 --> 00:31:37.559
<v Speaker 12>cool we have the Brooklyn hat today. But yeah, being

623
00:31:37.599 --> 00:31:44.200
<v Speaker 12>out there hearing how close kareem story is to Jackie,

624
00:31:44.319 --> 00:31:47.920
<v Speaker 12>not not in similarities, but how close their their relationship

625
00:31:47.920 --> 00:31:51.880
<v Speaker 12>actually overlapped. And then just to be able to experience,

626
00:31:52.319 --> 00:31:55.519
<v Speaker 12>you know, the emotions of that and what it felt

627
00:31:55.559 --> 00:31:59.920
<v Speaker 12>like to have you know, Dodger family and actually jack

628
00:32:00.119 --> 00:32:04.480
<v Speaker 12>Robinson's family here, it was just really cool. It's really special.

629
00:32:04.960 --> 00:32:06.880
<v Speaker 12>So I was happy to be a part of it.

630
00:32:07.720 --> 00:32:11.240
<v Speaker 7>You have so many different backgrounds in that clubhouse. Do

631
00:32:11.319 --> 00:32:14.640
<v Speaker 7>you believe what Kareem said and what Jackie Robinson day

632
00:32:14.759 --> 00:32:18.640
<v Speaker 7>means resonates with everybody, no matter what their background is.

633
00:32:18.960 --> 00:32:24.480
<v Speaker 12>Yeah. Absolutely. You know, I think that we live in

634
00:32:24.519 --> 00:32:29.079
<v Speaker 12>a much different generation than then, but in you know,

635
00:32:29.519 --> 00:32:32.720
<v Speaker 12>all things considered, that wasn't that long ago. Yeah, So

636
00:32:32.880 --> 00:32:36.039
<v Speaker 12>to have you know, such a diverse clubhouse and the

637
00:32:36.519 --> 00:32:39.799
<v Speaker 12>talents of this game being of all different nationalities, all

638
00:32:39.799 --> 00:32:43.519
<v Speaker 12>different colors, and all different backgrounds, I think kind of

639
00:32:44.160 --> 00:32:46.319
<v Speaker 12>you know, is a testament to what he did to

640
00:32:46.960 --> 00:32:48.559
<v Speaker 12>you know, his bravery.

641
00:32:49.119 --> 00:32:52.759
<v Speaker 7>How much did you know about Kareem Abdul Jabbar before

642
00:32:52.799 --> 00:32:56.000
<v Speaker 7>today and just his connection to the Brooklyn Dodgers.

643
00:32:56.359 --> 00:32:59.279
<v Speaker 12>His connection to to to baseball in general. I didn't

644
00:32:59.279 --> 00:33:02.880
<v Speaker 12>really know about, but to the Dodgers and too, you know,

645
00:33:03.000 --> 00:33:06.000
<v Speaker 12>to hear that he said that Jackie actually sent him

646
00:33:06.039 --> 00:33:09.240
<v Speaker 12>a letter, Yeah it is. You know, that's that's pretty cool.

647
00:33:09.279 --> 00:33:11.599
<v Speaker 12>And to see the impact that that he made in

648
00:33:11.640 --> 00:33:14.079
<v Speaker 12>the world through through his platform and what he was

649
00:33:14.079 --> 00:33:17.960
<v Speaker 12>able to do, and that stemming from from Jackie Robinson.

650
00:33:18.440 --> 00:33:21.839
<v Speaker 12>When it seems like he had already reached so many people,

651
00:33:21.920 --> 00:33:25.240
<v Speaker 12>he found a way to reach even more through Kareem

652
00:33:25.240 --> 00:33:27.599
<v Speaker 12>and bil Jabbar. It's just it's it's kind of mind blowing.

653
00:33:27.920 --> 00:33:31.559
<v Speaker 7>Michael Kopek is our guest. Once all the speeches were

654
00:33:31.599 --> 00:33:34.559
<v Speaker 7>done at the Jackie Robinson statue, Michael got back to

655
00:33:34.640 --> 00:33:37.400
<v Speaker 7>business of pitching and I saw you throwing. You went

656
00:33:37.440 --> 00:33:40.200
<v Speaker 7>out to throw a bullpen session. What can you share

657
00:33:40.200 --> 00:33:43.200
<v Speaker 7>with us about where you're at physically?

658
00:33:43.200 --> 00:33:46.440
<v Speaker 12>I feel great. I think that it's kind of a

659
00:33:46.480 --> 00:33:49.519
<v Speaker 12>long road back, just you know, you know, building up,

660
00:33:51.440 --> 00:33:53.200
<v Speaker 12>you know, whether whether you want to call it stamina

661
00:33:53.279 --> 00:33:55.039
<v Speaker 12>or what have you, like, just just building up to

662
00:33:55.079 --> 00:33:57.319
<v Speaker 12>be able to pitch and pitching games again is kind

663
00:33:57.359 --> 00:33:59.559
<v Speaker 12>of a long road. So it's only my second bullpen

664
00:33:59.640 --> 00:34:04.079
<v Speaker 12>since I had a setback, but it felt great and

665
00:34:04.680 --> 00:34:06.799
<v Speaker 12>I think there was a lot a lot of promise

666
00:34:06.839 --> 00:34:09.679
<v Speaker 12>in what I'm doing right now. But hopefully we can

667
00:34:10.079 --> 00:34:11.639
<v Speaker 12>build off of that and keep going forward.

668
00:34:11.719 --> 00:34:13.679
<v Speaker 7>When you have a day like today, is there a

669
00:34:13.760 --> 00:34:16.360
<v Speaker 7>sense of relief that your body is responding.

670
00:34:17.000 --> 00:34:19.440
<v Speaker 12>Yeah. I think with a game in general, there's a

671
00:34:19.480 --> 00:34:22.159
<v Speaker 12>lot of ups and downs. You know, I'm let's say

672
00:34:22.159 --> 00:34:23.960
<v Speaker 12>I'm healthy right now and I'm pitching. I go out

673
00:34:23.960 --> 00:34:25.519
<v Speaker 12>there and I can feel great for one game. In

674
00:34:25.519 --> 00:34:27.079
<v Speaker 12>the next game maybe not so good, and you have

675
00:34:27.119 --> 00:34:28.880
<v Speaker 12>to find a way. There's a little bit of that

676
00:34:28.960 --> 00:34:33.400
<v Speaker 12>when you're doing a rehab stant too, but you don't

677
00:34:33.440 --> 00:34:35.559
<v Speaker 12>know if you're going to bounce back when you have

678
00:34:35.599 --> 00:34:37.840
<v Speaker 12>a bad day and rehab, so it can be this

679
00:34:38.119 --> 00:34:41.079
<v Speaker 12>roller coaster of emotions if you if you ride every

680
00:34:41.119 --> 00:34:44.760
<v Speaker 12>single feeling of every single day, but to have a

681
00:34:44.960 --> 00:34:46.760
<v Speaker 12>high day makes it that a little bit easier and

682
00:34:46.800 --> 00:34:48.920
<v Speaker 12>you get to kind of just build off of that.

683
00:34:49.039 --> 00:34:49.920
<v Speaker 12>Like I said, I.

684
00:34:49.960 --> 00:34:53.440
<v Speaker 7>Have so much respect for you and for all those

685
00:34:53.480 --> 00:34:56.519
<v Speaker 7>guys in the bullpen last year that were pushed to

686
00:34:56.559 --> 00:34:58.800
<v Speaker 7>the limits to try to win the World Series. You

687
00:34:58.800 --> 00:35:01.519
<v Speaker 7>guys were able to do that. I haven't talked to

688
00:35:01.559 --> 00:35:04.039
<v Speaker 7>you about this, but what you guys did as a

689
00:35:04.039 --> 00:35:08.280
<v Speaker 7>group is unprecedented to carry a pitching staff that far.

690
00:35:08.840 --> 00:35:10.119
<v Speaker 3>How proud are you of that?

691
00:35:10.280 --> 00:35:12.800
<v Speaker 7>And I mean literally left your arm out on the

692
00:35:12.800 --> 00:35:13.679
<v Speaker 7>mound last year?

693
00:35:14.639 --> 00:35:18.400
<v Speaker 12>Uh yeah. I think the main thing is I'm I'm

694
00:35:18.440 --> 00:35:20.760
<v Speaker 12>incredibly grateful to be a part of a group that

695
00:35:20.920 --> 00:35:25.519
<v Speaker 12>was that was that special. You know, whether one guy

696
00:35:26.119 --> 00:35:29.360
<v Speaker 12>did the job every single night, or you know, somebody

697
00:35:29.400 --> 00:35:32.280
<v Speaker 12>needed to get picked up, like, we never shied away

698
00:35:32.280 --> 00:35:33.960
<v Speaker 12>from that, and we had a group of guys that

699
00:35:34.000 --> 00:35:36.440
<v Speaker 12>were willing to fight that battle all the way through.

700
00:35:37.519 --> 00:35:38.920
<v Speaker 12>And to be a part of that group and a

701
00:35:38.960 --> 00:35:42.639
<v Speaker 12>part of guys that are just so determined to win

702
00:35:42.719 --> 00:35:45.000
<v Speaker 12>no matter you know, what the feeling is or what

703
00:35:45.039 --> 00:35:47.880
<v Speaker 12>the situation is like. The World Series was the end

704
00:35:47.960 --> 00:35:50.320
<v Speaker 12>goal and site and that was what we were all

705
00:35:50.320 --> 00:35:52.159
<v Speaker 12>working towards. So to be a part of a group

706
00:35:52.199 --> 00:35:54.719
<v Speaker 12>that worked that hard for it, I was incredibly proud.

707
00:35:54.519 --> 00:35:58.480
<v Speaker 7>Of Michael Kopek's name will forever be part of Dodger history,

708
00:35:58.519 --> 00:36:01.480
<v Speaker 7>part of those bullpen dogs. And it's scary to think

709
00:36:01.519 --> 00:36:04.199
<v Speaker 7>that the bullpen's doing so well and you and Evan

710
00:36:04.239 --> 00:36:06.199
<v Speaker 7>Phillips haven't even thrown one pitch yet.

711
00:36:06.480 --> 00:36:10.880
<v Speaker 12>Yeah, I'm really proud of those guys. I'm hoping Evan's

712
00:36:10.920 --> 00:36:13.840
<v Speaker 12>back soon and seeming like he's getting close, so to

713
00:36:13.840 --> 00:36:15.599
<v Speaker 12>add him to that mix, it's gonna be really cool

714
00:36:15.599 --> 00:36:18.039
<v Speaker 12>to see. Right now, I'm just kind of watching from

715
00:36:18.360 --> 00:36:21.159
<v Speaker 12>a little bit of a distance, but hopefully I'll start

716
00:36:21.159 --> 00:36:23.320
<v Speaker 12>working my way back and I'll get to be part

717
00:36:23.360 --> 00:36:24.360
<v Speaker 12>of that experience again.

718
00:36:24.639 --> 00:36:25.119
<v Speaker 5>Can't wait.

719
00:36:25.400 --> 00:36:27.199
<v Speaker 7>It's been so great getting to know you and just

720
00:36:27.239 --> 00:36:30.480
<v Speaker 7>who you are, and obviously that comes out in a

721
00:36:30.480 --> 00:36:32.400
<v Speaker 7>lot of different ways. So thank you for the time

722
00:36:32.440 --> 00:36:34.519
<v Speaker 7>and can't wait to see you back out there.

723
00:36:34.599 --> 00:36:35.840
<v Speaker 12>Thank you, appreciate it.

724
00:36:35.880 --> 00:36:38.679
<v Speaker 5>There he is the man, Michael Kopek. Love that guy.

725

<v Speaker 2>one and one with an ERA just below six and

753
00:37:52.159 --> 00:37:55.480
<v Speaker 2>two career starts at Dodger Stadium. Dodgers last saw Ryan

754
00:37:55.480 --> 00:37:58.400
<v Speaker 2>felt in their last September of cours Field. He went

755
00:37:58.599 --> 00:38:02.840
<v Speaker 2>six scoreless innings, allowed two hits, struck out three in

756
00:38:02.920 --> 00:38:05.960
<v Speaker 2>a two to one Rockies eventual loss. Land and Knack

757
00:38:06.000 --> 00:38:07.639
<v Speaker 2>on the Mount one to zero, but with a ten

758
00:38:07.679 --> 00:38:10.320

<v Speaker 2>of East Tennessee statement his major league debut last year,

761
00:38:15.079 --> 00:38:18.320
<v Speaker 2>making his second start in third appearance this season, last

762
00:38:18.320 --> 00:38:20.800
<v Speaker 2>time out two in the third innings, five runs, four hits,

763
00:38:20.800 --> 00:38:23.559

764
00:38:23.559 --> 00:38:25.880
<v Speaker 2>He got the win in Tokyo versus the Cubs last month,

765
00:38:26.039 --> 00:38:30.320
<v Speaker 2>pitching two innings of release. Facing the Rockies for the

766
00:38:30.360 --> 00:38:32.639
<v Speaker 2>second time in his career, he saw them last September,

767
00:38:33.039 --> 00:38:36.199
<v Speaker 2>ironically against Ryan Feltner as they squared off against each

768
00:38:36.239 --> 00:38:40.159
<v Speaker 2>other four innings, gave up four runs on five hits

769

772
00:38:46.840 --> 00:38:48.880
<v Speaker 2>pitch keys to the game. Our next, I'm Tim Kase's

773
00:38:48.880 --> 00:38:51.079
<v Speaker 2>World champion Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.

774
00:38:53.920 --> 00:38:58.679
<v Speaker 1>As we were saying, this is Marongo Casino, Dodgers on

775
00:38:58.880 --> 00:39:02.760
<v Speaker 1>Jack on the home of LA Dodgers Baseball.

776
00:39:03.400 --> 00:39:06.920
<v Speaker 2>Lead you out to Dodgers and Rockies as landon Mac

777
00:39:07.159 --> 00:39:09.679
<v Speaker 2>makes the starts. When the boys in Blue play at home,

778
00:39:09.760 --> 00:39:12.320
<v Speaker 2>it's important they have the right plan to protect their

779
00:39:12.360 --> 00:39:15.119
<v Speaker 2>house at Dodger Stadium, and they protected it last night

780
00:39:15.119 --> 00:39:17.199
<v Speaker 2>with the five to three win. The same applies to

781
00:39:17.239 --> 00:39:20.039
<v Speaker 2>your home. Always have a plan and follow fire safety tips.

782
00:39:20.039 --> 00:39:23.800
<v Speaker 2>For example, create and maintain defensible space starting at your house.

783
00:39:24.039 --> 00:39:27.480
<v Speaker 2>Clear vegetation to your fencing, property line or space allows

784
00:39:27.480 --> 00:39:29.840
<v Speaker 2>extend up to one hundred feet from your home. Ensure

785
00:39:29.880 --> 00:39:32.679
<v Speaker 2>all combustible audibles like firewood are located thirty feet away

786
00:39:32.679 --> 00:39:36.320
<v Speaker 2>from your home. Remove vegetation or debris from your roof, fence, windows, decks,

787
00:39:36.320 --> 00:39:39.119
<v Speaker 2>and gutters. For more about these tips and others, visit

790
00:39:42.599 --> 00:39:44.639
<v Speaker 3>Tip never at Rick Monday, guys.

791
00:39:44.239 --> 00:39:47.039
<v Speaker 4>Tim, thanks again the key tonight for Land and Knack's

792
00:39:47.079 --> 00:39:49.400
<v Speaker 4>going to be keeping the ball in the ballpark. He

793
00:39:49.599 --> 00:39:52.679
<v Speaker 4>has given up twenty four percent of the hits that

794
00:39:52.719 --> 00:39:56.079
<v Speaker 4>he's allowed in Major League Baseball have been home runs,

795
00:39:56.119 --> 00:39:57.880
<v Speaker 4>so he's going to have to keep the ball in

796
00:39:57.920 --> 00:40:00.000
<v Speaker 4>the ballpark. The Rockies do have some guys who can.

797
00:40:00.639 --> 00:40:02.400
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, they have some guys that hit it out, and

798
00:40:02.440 --> 00:40:04.920
<v Speaker 6>they have some guys that are a little bit mad

799
00:40:05.000 --> 00:40:08.480
<v Speaker 6>out of the color They're three and thirteen. They desperately

800
00:40:08.519 --> 00:40:11.159
<v Speaker 6>want to turn things around. One thing that the Dodgers

801
00:40:11.159 --> 00:40:13.800
<v Speaker 6>did last night offensively, is you approach Ryan Feltner, who's

802
00:40:13.800 --> 00:40:15.880
<v Speaker 6>going to be on the mound for Colorado his fourth start.

803
00:40:16.360 --> 00:40:19.599
<v Speaker 6>Dave Roberts was saying, look, we started to really manage

804
00:40:19.639 --> 00:40:22.679
<v Speaker 6>a batt's better last night and not expanding the zone.

805
00:40:22.719 --> 00:40:24.320
<v Speaker 6>Hopefully that takes place again tonight.

806
00:40:24.360 --> 00:40:27.000
<v Speaker 4>A couple of pitching notes Dave Roberts a short time

807
00:40:27.039 --> 00:40:30.000
<v Speaker 4>ago announcing that Bobby Miller will be called up from

808
00:40:30.000 --> 00:40:34.159

809
00:40:34.599 --> 00:40:37.920
