As the Dodgers 99 00:04:55.040 --> 00:04:58.160 and the Rockies wrap up this three game set, Dodgers 100 00:04:58.160 --> 00:05:01.079 with a chance to pull off a three games sweep. 101 00:05:01.120 --> 00:05:05.160 They've won nine straight over the Rockies, and this is 102 00:05:05.480 --> 00:05:07.639 one of the few times they've done that. They've had 103 00:05:07.720 --> 00:05:10.839 a streak of twelve straight that went from September of 104 00:05:10.879 --> 00:05:15.639 twenty eighteen to June of twenty nineteen, and since twenty 105 00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:19.279 twenty three began, the Dodgers against the Rockies have hit 106 00:05:19.319 --> 00:05:22.839 a collective three to zero five with fifty two home 107 00:05:22.920 --> 00:05:28.040 runs over fifty six games, the Dodgers winning twenty five 108 00:05:28.600 --> 00:05:31.720 of those thirty one meetings. In nine of the ten series. 109 00:05:31.759 --> 00:05:35.120 It has been a completely one sided series with the 110 00:05:35.120 --> 00:05:37.480 Dodgers and the Rockies in the last few years. 111 00:05:37.279 --> 00:05:39.519 It has been. And for the Dodgers with Clayton Kerz 112 00:05:39.560 --> 00:05:43.360 showing the mound today eight strikeouts shy of three thousand 113 00:05:43.439 --> 00:05:46.279 in his brilliant career. And for this Dodger ball club 114 00:05:46.360 --> 00:05:48.439 one of the things that really kind of holds true. 115 00:05:49.279 --> 00:05:51.759 And they just passed the halfway mark in the season. 116 00:05:51.839 --> 00:05:54.600 First team in the National League to have fifty victories 117 00:05:54.720 --> 00:05:57.759 under their belts Detroit Tigers the first in the American 118 00:05:57.839 --> 00:06:00.000 League to do the same thing. But for this Dog 119 00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:03.639 book club, as you're mentioning, they've been working on all cylinders. 120 00:06:03.720 --> 00:06:05.839 Nine to eleven have been in the win column and 121 00:06:05.920 --> 00:06:08.519 in that time twenty one home runs that they've hit. 122 00:06:08.720 --> 00:06:12.120 Speaking of home runs, they've not allowed one hit out 123 00:06:12.120 --> 00:06:14.199 of the ballpark in the first two games of this series, 124 00:06:14.240 --> 00:06:16.800 and the Dodgers win, they do not allow a home run. 125 00:06:17.079 --> 00:06:20.199 They're twenty wins and only four losses this year. 126 00:06:20.240 --> 00:06:23.319 And that's an unusual case when you come to Colorado exactly. 127 00:06:23.959 --> 00:06:27.639 So it's a good on the Dodger pitching staff. Another 128 00:06:27.680 --> 00:06:31.160 note too, in terms of the win column and the standings. 129 00:06:31.160 --> 00:06:34.319 The Dodgers over the last twelve days have picked up 130 00:06:34.439 --> 00:06:37.480 five and a half games on the Giants, and that's 131 00:06:37.959 --> 00:06:40.600 a really quick ascension when you look at the time 132 00:06:40.639 --> 00:06:42.079 and the number of games they've climbed. 133 00:06:42.199 --> 00:06:45.040 It's really kind of strange too, because a they're scoring 134 00:06:45.079 --> 00:06:47.079 a lot of runs, averaging a lot of runs, almost 135 00:06:47.120 --> 00:06:49.720 seven per game, and yet if we look at what 136 00:06:49.759 --> 00:06:53.720 they've done team batting average not bad overall. In the average, 137 00:06:53.920 --> 00:06:57.240 it's the best in baseball, but in April, then May, 138 00:06:57.439 --> 00:07:00.560 they went down in May, and they're hitting the lowest 139 00:07:00.680 --> 00:07:02.879 batting average in the month of June so far, but 140 00:07:02.920 --> 00:07:05.399 they're putting a lot of runs on the scoreboard. 141 00:07:06.040 --> 00:07:09.920 Max Munsey thirteen RBIs over his last three games, including 142 00:07:09.959 --> 00:07:12.199 the middle game of that three game set. He didn't 143 00:07:12.199 --> 00:07:14.519 get an RBI in that one, so two games out 144 00:07:14.560 --> 00:07:16.879 of the last three he's had a total of thirteen 145 00:07:16.959 --> 00:07:18.600 runs batted in two Grand Slams. 146 00:07:18.680 --> 00:07:21.160 Yeah, he's had two good weeks in three days as 147 00:07:21.199 --> 00:07:23.360 far as the games that had been played, and he'll 148 00:07:23.360 --> 00:07:25.720 get a rest today as Miguel Rojas will be at 149 00:07:25.759 --> 00:07:30.079 third base, KK Hernandez will be in the left field. Really, 150 00:07:30.120 --> 00:07:33.279 the only changes will Smith returns the lineup. In fact, 151 00:07:33.519 --> 00:07:36.160 Dave Roberts kind of moving the lineup around a little bit. 152 00:07:36.199 --> 00:07:38.959 Smith will bat third, Freddie Freeman dopted the four spot 153 00:07:39.360 --> 00:07:42.560 and for left field, Confordo gets the day off against 154 00:07:42.600 --> 00:07:45.519 the left handed Austin Gomber. But all of a sudden, 155 00:07:45.639 --> 00:07:49.360 Michael Confordo really heating up for for his last nine 156 00:07:49.399 --> 00:07:51.600 with two home runs. It's nice to see and you 157 00:07:51.639 --> 00:07:53.879 can see that the confidence has kind of returned also 158 00:07:53.959 --> 00:07:58.759 with Confordo, but a different bat model, a different weight distribution. 159 00:07:58.879 --> 00:08:02.079 He says it just better at the balance overall, but 160 00:08:02.160 --> 00:08:04.480 he's also tweaked a couple of different things with the stand. 161 00:08:04.560 --> 00:08:06.959 So that's a very good sign. Is Dodger Ball Club 162 00:08:07.000 --> 00:08:09.759 trying to win their fifty first to the season, and 163 00:08:10.279 --> 00:08:12.480 keep in mind they want to improve their road record. 164 00:08:12.519 --> 00:08:15.680 They're just three games above five hundred twenty and seventeen 165 00:08:15.720 --> 00:08:16.839 away from Dodgers Stadium. 166 00:08:16.920 --> 00:08:19.040 The rain drops are falling on my head might have 167 00:08:19.079 --> 00:08:21.199 been the song for last night, as the Dodgers got 168 00:08:21.199 --> 00:08:23.560 two runs thanks to the rain before the rain delay 169 00:08:23.879 --> 00:08:26.920 went on to win it by an eight to one score. 170 00:08:27.000 --> 00:08:29.079 Today they'll go for the three game sweep and all 171 00:08:29.079 --> 00:08:33.759 eyes on Clayton Kershaw's he makes his eighth start of 172 00:08:33.879 --> 00:08:38.639 the season, eight strikeouts, Shy of three thousand for his career. 173 00:08:38.679 --> 00:08:40.399 Tim all right, thank you guys as we cut you 174 00:08:40.480 --> 00:08:43.159 down to first bitch Dodger fans, get your game day meal, 175 00:08:43.279 --> 00:08:46.399 Lawn's almost lunchtime.

Max Munsey, 205 00:10:25.240 --> 00:10:27.960 What a night last night? He had six RBIs and 206 00:10:28.039 --> 00:10:30.120 the win over the Rockies and afterwards caught up with 207 00:10:30.279 --> 00:10:30.960 Kirsten Watson. 208 00:10:31.440 --> 00:10:33.639 Well, Max, it felt like this game was essentially two 209 00:10:33.840 --> 00:10:36.919 different ones. Let's start with ahead of the rain delay for. 210 00:10:36.960 --> 00:10:37.480 You to get that. 211 00:10:37.679 --> 00:10:40.360 Uh that's first, I guess the two run hit. 212 00:10:40.759 --> 00:10:41.879 What was your reaction to it? 213 00:10:42.279 --> 00:10:45.279 I mean, obviously you're excited. It's for me, I was 214 00:10:45.279 --> 00:10:47.679 just happy I hit the ball. The pretty heavy rain 215 00:10:47.759 --> 00:10:50.080 drops coming down, my glasses got pretty covered. I couldn't 216 00:10:50.080 --> 00:10:51.799 really see anything. So for me, I was just happy 217 00:10:52.120 --> 00:10:54.320 that I put the ball in play. And then, yeah, 218 00:10:54.399 --> 00:10:56.279 with big rain drops like that, it's tough. It's tough 219 00:10:56.320 --> 00:10:58.159 when you're looking up. And I think that's what happened. 220 00:10:58.279 --> 00:10:59.600 You come back from the rain delay and then you 221 00:10:59.600 --> 00:11:01.879 had a great and that's not your second Grand Slam 222 00:11:01.960 --> 00:11:03.919 in three games. When you're showing more power, what does 223 00:11:03.960 --> 00:11:05.320 that say to you about where the swing is at? 224 00:11:05.840 --> 00:11:08.639 Just trying to stay simple. I'm not trying to generate it. 225 00:11:08.679 --> 00:11:09.519 I'm just letting it happen. 226 00:11:09.559 --> 00:11:10.960 And you know, for me, as long as I can 227 00:11:11.000 --> 00:11:12.840 stay simple in the box, so I feel good about 228 00:11:12.960 --> 00:11:13.639 good things happening. 229 00:11:13.720 --> 00:11:15.200 And that's kind of what happened right there. 230 00:11:15.360 --> 00:11:17.000 Is there anything that you had to do during that 231 00:11:17.120 --> 00:11:18.399 ragindo lay I kind of stay locked in? 232 00:11:20.120 --> 00:11:22.279 No, I mean we all did.

So the Dodgers getting another bullpen arm 288 00:13:45.399 --> 00:13:48.360 back and ready to go today in Denver, Tony Gonston 289 00:13:48.440 --> 00:13:51.759 on the sixty day il Tyler glassnow Blake Snow Or 290 00:13:51.799 --> 00:13:55.440 Blake Snell Rookie Sasaki, Blake trying to Bruce Dark Gratterole 291 00:13:55.639 --> 00:13:58.759 all on the il with arm in trees. All right, 292 00:13:58.840 --> 00:14:01.039 we head back out to Denver and checko the Dodger skipper. 293 00:14:01.440 --> 00:14:04.519 Any questions for Dave, Dave? 294 00:14:04.639 --> 00:14:06.440 Can you just describe Dave? 295 00:14:06.519 --> 00:14:08.879 Can you talk about the pressure in. 296 00:14:09.000 --> 00:14:11.000 The dugouts with Dave Roberts? 297 00:14:12.159 --> 00:14:14.879 All right, So from the manager's seat, when you have 298 00:14:15.080 --> 00:14:18.080 a future Hall of Famer just eight strikeouts away from 299 00:14:18.120 --> 00:14:18.840 three thousand. 300 00:14:19.080 --> 00:14:20.840 What does it mean to you and just to the 301 00:14:20.919 --> 00:14:21.519 game today. 302 00:14:22.799 --> 00:14:26.559 Well, I think right now Clayton's preparing to win, to 303 00:14:26.679 --> 00:14:31.480 prepare for the game. We're preparing for the game, certainly 304 00:14:31.679 --> 00:14:37.320 being ate away, there's a lot of anticipation in our clubhouse, 305 00:14:37.399 --> 00:14:40.240 obviously with media, the fans that are. 306 00:14:40.200 --> 00:14:41.200 Here that are not here. 307 00:14:42.639 --> 00:14:44.799 As we get a little bit closer, I think my 308 00:14:45.159 --> 00:14:48.720 kind of anxiousness will start to build. So right now, 309 00:14:48.759 --> 00:14:50.919 I still feel like I'm in a good spot. But 310 00:14:51.679 --> 00:14:57.200 for baseball, it's you know, we love milestones, and Clayton 311 00:14:57.240 --> 00:14:59.879 has done everything the right way on the field off 312 00:15:00.080 --> 00:15:02.879 the field over a long period of time, and so 313 00:15:03.320 --> 00:15:07.399 to finally get to I guess ultimately the last box 314 00:15:07.480 --> 00:15:11.399 he needs to check, you know, for his future Hall 315 00:15:11.399 --> 00:15:15.799 of Fame careers. At three thousand strikeout threshold, we're all 316 00:15:16.480 --> 00:15:19.279 waiting in anticipation. So whether it's here or back home 317 00:15:19.360 --> 00:15:20.919 in Los Angeles, will see. 318 00:15:21.120 --> 00:15:23.679 Do you believe he has to fight trying to chase 319 00:15:23.720 --> 00:15:25.840 those strikeouts, kind of like a guy going for his 320 00:15:25.960 --> 00:15:27.840 four hundredth or five hundredth home run. 321 00:15:29.600 --> 00:15:30.399 I think so. 322 00:15:30.639 --> 00:15:34.279 I think there's a little bit of you know, one 323 00:15:34.360 --> 00:15:35.679 part of it, I'm sure he wants to do it 324 00:15:35.720 --> 00:15:39.519 in Los Angeles. The other part of it is he 325 00:15:39.600 --> 00:15:42.240 wants to get it over with. I think it's all 326 00:15:42.399 --> 00:15:45.399 it's going to be. It's inevitable. It's going to be 327 00:15:45.440 --> 00:15:47.879 hard not to think that he's you know, gets two 328 00:15:47.960 --> 00:15:49.840 strikes and tries to go for the punch out. But 329 00:15:50.519 --> 00:15:53.919 that's what he's always done, you know, so that doesn't 330 00:15:54.000 --> 00:15:54.639 really change. 331 00:15:54.879 --> 00:15:57.559 Have you had any conversations in the context of all 332 00:15:57.639 --> 00:15:59.200 this for today, No, not. 333 00:15:59.240 --> 00:15:59.919 At all, not at all. 334 00:15:59.960 --> 00:16:03.399 I just kind of let him prepare as he always has. 335 00:16:03.919 --> 00:16:06.840 All Right, there's the manager, Dave Roberts talking about Clayton 336 00:16:06.919 --> 00:16:11.080 Kershaw again, eight strikeouts away from three thousand in his career. 337 00:16:11.200 --> 00:16:13.600 He could do it today at Corus Field. Will we 338 00:16:13.639 --> 00:16:15.440 continue here on Dodgers on Deck more of that with 339 00:16:15.639 --> 00:16:18.320 David Va say, as we lead you up to first 340 00:16:18.399 --> 00:16:21.759 pitch from Denver Dodgers Rockies first pitch at twelve ten, 341 00:16:21.759 --> 00:16:24.440 I'm Tim Casey's World champion Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network. 342 00:16:27.279 --> 00:16:31.159 As we were saying, this is Marongo Casino. 343 00:16:31.399 --> 00:16:35.399 Dodgers on Deck on the official home of La Dodgers 344 00:16:35.519 --> 00:16:37.639 Baseball lead. 345 00:16:37.519 --> 00:16:40.720 You up to Dodgers and Rockies on this Thursday. Clayton Kershaw, 346 00:16:40.840 --> 00:16:44.000 Austin Gomber, the pitching matchup first pitch and Denver coming 347 00:16:44.080 --> 00:16:44.919 up at twelve ten. 348 00:16:46.759 --> 00:16:49.200 Joining Tim kats on Dodgers on deck. 349 00:16:49.279 --> 00:16:51.000 I accept everybody for who they are. 350 00:16:51.159 --> 00:16:54.679 This is Dodger insider David Basse. 351 00:16:54.960 --> 00:16:58.000 And David now joins us on this getaway day, the 352 00:16:58.159 --> 00:17:01.519 Dodgers and Rockies from Denver that is off to Kansas 353 00:17:01.600 --> 00:17:06.359 City Clayton Kershaw. David gets to start today, a big 354 00:17:06.559 --> 00:17:09.160 start for Clayton as he gets closer to the three 355 00:17:09.319 --> 00:17:11.000 thousand strikeout milestone. 356 00:17:12.039 --> 00:17:14.480 He's very aware of it as well Tim, and this 357 00:17:14.759 --> 00:17:17.920 is a family trip, so his wife and kids are 358 00:17:18.039 --> 00:17:23.119 all here to witness possible Kershaw history with him on 359 00:17:23.279 --> 00:17:26.559 the verge of three thousand strikeouts. Now, I've been telling 360 00:17:26.680 --> 00:17:30.119 people this may be a setup for a more storybook 361 00:17:30.200 --> 00:17:34.440 type of situation where he would achieve three thousand strikeouts 362 00:17:34.960 --> 00:17:38.279 at home against the White Sox in his next start. So, 363 00:17:38.440 --> 00:17:41.839 being eight strikeouts away, I could see five today and 364 00:17:42.000 --> 00:17:45.559 then four or three at the very least, and his 365 00:17:45.680 --> 00:17:48.400 next start at home and be able to celebrate with 366 00:17:48.480 --> 00:17:52.160 the hometown fans, but he joined us this past Sunday, 367 00:17:52.160 --> 00:17:55.559 if you remember, and he was very open about the 368 00:17:55.680 --> 00:18:01.279 reality that he's on the doorstep of joining only Steve Carleton, C. C. Sabatia, 369 00:18:01.400 --> 00:18:04.680 and Randy Johnson as the only left handed pitchers in 370 00:18:04.759 --> 00:18:09.400 baseball history to record three thousand strikeouts in their career. 371 00:18:09.559 --> 00:18:10.119 It's taken a. 372 00:18:10.119 --> 00:18:12.160 Little while, taking a little longer than I thought, but 373 00:18:12.400 --> 00:18:14.400 uh no, you know, I'm really just trying to pitch. 374 00:18:14.480 --> 00:18:16.079 You know, at the end of the day, the strikeouts 375 00:18:16.119 --> 00:18:18.759 are supposed to happen, and uh, they'll just come when 376 00:18:18.799 --> 00:18:21.359 they come. But it is getting closer. You're starting to 377 00:18:21.359 --> 00:18:23.559 feel it a little bit more, and uh, you know, 378 00:18:23.599 --> 00:18:25.240 I try not to pay too much attention to it, 379 00:18:25.359 --> 00:18:27.799 but you know, I am thankful. My teammates are excited 380 00:18:27.880 --> 00:18:31.119 for me, and Freddie especially keeps reminding me. So it's, uh, 381 00:18:31.480 --> 00:18:33.480 that is that is cool. I mean it shows that 382 00:18:33.559 --> 00:18:35.920 they care and they want me to, you know, do 383 00:18:36.079 --> 00:18:38.880 something cool like that. So I do appreciate that. That's cool. 384 00:18:39.160 --> 00:18:41.440 You hear about hitters when they're on the doorstep of 385 00:18:41.519 --> 00:18:44.599 five hundred, they kind of go into a little prolonged 386 00:18:44.720 --> 00:18:46.799 slump trying to hit that home run. 387 00:18:47.160 --> 00:18:48.920 Is it different for a pitcher, Well, I. 388 00:18:48.960 --> 00:18:51.119 Think so you got more opportunities to strike people out, 389 00:18:51.160 --> 00:18:52.960 you know, I think, uh, you know, you only get 390 00:18:53.079 --> 00:18:56.079 four maybe five at bats a game, So that that 391 00:18:56.319 --> 00:18:57.559 that's a little more understandable. 392 00:18:57.640 --> 00:18:57.920 You know, I. 393 00:18:57.880 --> 00:19:00.640 Shouldn't I shouldn't go on a strikeout out that bad. 394 00:19:00.799 --> 00:19:02.880 You know, we are going to Colorado next, but make 395 00:19:03.279 --> 00:19:05.400 make get it through that one and then see where 396 00:19:05.400 --> 00:19:05.599 we are. 397 00:19:05.920 --> 00:19:09.599 So this is the most open I've been around Kershaw 398 00:19:10.000 --> 00:19:13.599 during his career tim where he's acknowledging these type of 399 00:19:14.000 --> 00:19:17.519 markers and milestones because in the past he wouldn't even 400 00:19:17.599 --> 00:19:20.480 come close to touching it. So that just shows you 401 00:19:20.599 --> 00:19:24.480
