The Dodgers, 27 00:01:01.359 --> 00:01:05.799 fresh off getting swept by the Anaheim Angels and now 28 00:01:05.879 --> 00:01:08.799 the homestand continues, was the first of three against the 29 00:01:08.840 --> 00:01:12.280 Arizona Diamondbacks.

First pitch on this Monday night from 32 00:01:16.959 --> 00:01:19.480 Dodger Stadium is coming up at seven to ten on 33 00:01:19.640 --> 00:01:23.400 Ven's Gully Bobblehead Night out at Dodgers Stadium coming up 34 00:01:23.439 --> 00:01:26.120 over the next hour here on Morongo Casino, Dodgers on Deck, 35 00:01:26.159 --> 00:01:28.400 You're gonna get the very latest from our Dodger insider 36 00:01:28.480 --> 00:01:31.239 David Vase. He'll go one on one with Dodger reliever 37 00:01:31.439 --> 00:01:34.599 Matt Sower, Righetti High School's own who's got himself a 38 00:01:34.599 --> 00:01:38.000 win and himself save already on the season for the Dodgers. 39 00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:40.040 We're gonna hear from the manager, Dave Roberts, will dive 40 00:01:40.079 --> 00:01:43.640 deeper into this pitching matchup. We got your Dodgers magical moment. 41 00:01:43.959 --> 00:01:47.560 Kirsten Watson from sports Net LA stops by and at 42 00:01:47.599 --> 00:01:49.560 just a few minutes we hend out to the Gallpin 43 00:01:49.599 --> 00:01:53.799 Motors broadcast booth with Steven Nelson and Jose Motol. Yesterday 44 00:01:54.040 --> 00:01:57.159 at the Ravine, Tony Gonsolin had a couple of catman 45 00:01:57.400 --> 00:02:00.519 lives at it, and it started in the first when 46 00:02:00.560 --> 00:02:02.920 he gave up a solo home run to the very 47 00:02:03.120 --> 00:02:07.400 first batter, Zach netto a home run to Love center field, 48 00:02:07.640 --> 00:02:10.159 and just like that, the Angels were up one to nothing. 49 00:02:10.439 --> 00:02:12.800 And then the blood started flowing for the catman, who 50 00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:14.919 went to his second life in the game as the 51 00:02:15.159 --> 00:02:18.199 blister or cut cuticle, whatever it is on the thumb 52 00:02:18.439 --> 00:02:20.439 healed up, not before a bunch of blood on the 53 00:02:20.479 --> 00:02:23.199 side of his pants. But three batters later, Taylor Ward 54 00:02:23.240 --> 00:02:26.000 went deep. Just like that first half inning of the game, 55 00:02:26.240 --> 00:02:28.439 the Angels were on top of the Dodgers three to nothing. 56 00:02:28.439 --> 00:02:31.080 Travis Darnaut added an RBI single in the third, and 57 00:02:31.120 --> 00:02:34.439 the Dodgers were down four to nothing. You say Kukuchi 58 00:02:34.639 --> 00:02:37.280 was rolling for the first four plus sittings until the 59 00:02:37.280 --> 00:02:39.719 bottom of the fifth was showy Otani delivered with an 60 00:02:39.759 --> 00:02:42.560 RBI single that got the Dodgers on the board up 61 00:02:42.680 --> 00:02:45.919 four to one. In the seventh, Will Smith would tie it. 62 00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:51.199 Will Smith can tie the game with one swing. This 63 00:02:51.400 --> 00:02:53.800 ball is hitting the air to left fielding deep. 64 00:02:53.879 --> 00:03:00.240 This ball is good. 65 00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:03.400 Just like that, we are tied. 66 00:03:08.599 --> 00:03:14.080 Hey laser the left from Will Smith. A three run 67 00:03:14.159 --> 00:03:17.000 shot evens a scoreboard at four a piece. 68 00:03:17.479 --> 00:03:21.759 Will Smith deliverers with the three run home run and 69 00:03:21.759 --> 00:03:23.319 that is the top tier play of the game, brought 70 00:03:23.319 --> 00:03:25.840 to you by Arco Quality, top tier gas for last 71 00:03:25.879 --> 00:03:29.360 than Dodgers come all the way back and tie things 72 00:03:29.439 --> 00:03:32.759 up in the seventh inning. Angels Dodgers tied at four. 73 00:03:33.400 --> 00:03:35.639 That though quickly change in the top half of the 74 00:03:35.719 --> 00:03:38.080 eighth inning, Travis Darnault, oh. 75 00:03:37.960 --> 00:03:40.719 No bona frustrated after that call, soon on the three 76 00:03:40.759 --> 00:03:42.800 to one and Darnault hits it a mile in the 77 00:03:42.840 --> 00:03:47.319 air to left field. This ball breaks the tie halfway 78 00:03:47.400 --> 00:03:50.919 up the pavilion in the section to the right of 79 00:03:50.960 --> 00:03:54.919 the Dodger bullpen, and the tie didn't last very long. 80 00:03:55.039 --> 00:04:01.319 Travis Darnault's first of the year makes it five four Angels, Bankwood's. 81 00:04:00.759 --> 00:04:03.960 Own Travis dar and a couple of rveis yesterday. That 82 00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:06.719 one hurts a solo home run to the left and 83 00:04:06.800 --> 00:04:08.719 that gave the Angels at five to four lee the 84 00:04:08.759 --> 00:04:11.280 Dodgers couldn't recover. The Angels will attack on another at 85 00:04:11.319 --> 00:04:13.039 the top of the ninth and they go on and 86 00:04:13.080 --> 00:04:16.680 beat the Dodgers six to four. What really stings is 87 00:04:16.720 --> 00:04:19.800 the Dodgers got swept in all three games of this 88 00:04:20.079 --> 00:04:23.680 Freeway series, first time the Angels have swept the Dodgers 89 00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:28.680 since two ten yikes fifteen years ago. Now the Dodgers 90 00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:31.759 got to get back at it tonight to Oscar Hernandez's back. 91 00:04:31.800 --> 00:04:34.519 Dodgers are back, new looking lineup and a new team 92 00:04:34.560 --> 00:04:37.480 in town with the Arizona Diamondbacks. Jack Dryer gets the 93 00:04:37.480 --> 00:04:39.600 start first pitch to seven to ten on this Vin 94 00:04:39.639 --> 00:04:41.560 Scully Bobblehead night, and with more we head out to 95 00:04:41.560 --> 00:04:44.639 the Galpamotors broadcast booth as we welcome in Stephen Nelson 96 00:04:44.680 --> 00:04:47.120 in Jose Modeguys. 97 00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:49.319 Thanks Tim, Well, the sun came up on this Monday. 98 00:04:49.439 --> 00:04:52.480 Despite the tough weekend for the Dodgers getting swept at 99 00:04:52.480 --> 00:04:56.160 home by the Angels, it has not been the greatest 100 00:04:56.160 --> 00:05:00.519 start to this homestand and part of another downward stretch. 101 00:05:00.600 --> 00:05:00.879 Jose. 102 00:05:01.040 --> 00:05:03.319 It's been a streaky season for the Dodgers and right 103 00:05:03.319 --> 00:05:04.639 now they're in a little bit of a swoon. 104 00:05:04.680 --> 00:05:06.040 How do they get out of it? Oh, they get 105 00:05:06.079 --> 00:05:06.639 out of the way. 106 00:05:06.680 --> 00:05:08.800 They have done it all throughout the season by finding 107 00:05:08.839 --> 00:05:10.360 what the next game is gonna bring. And I think 108 00:05:10.480 --> 00:05:12.480 the Dodgers have done a very good job just putting 109 00:05:12.519 --> 00:05:16.199 that last page over keep peeling those layers of the 110 00:05:16.240 --> 00:05:18.519 paint and see what's new. But I think what I 111 00:05:18.639 --> 00:05:21.639 look forward to this series is that first inning to 112 00:05:21.759 --> 00:05:25.360 be a shutdown inning and more chances where the offense. 113 00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:27.160 Do not have to play from behind right from the 114 00:05:27.199 --> 00:05:27.480 get go. 115 00:05:27.639 --> 00:05:30.199 It's an excellent point because in all three games against 116 00:05:30.199 --> 00:05:32.759 the Angels, the Halos put up runs in the first inning. 117 00:05:32.800 --> 00:05:35.120 They also scored runs in the ninth inning of all 118 00:05:35.160 --> 00:05:37.759 three of those games, and the pitching staff as a 119 00:05:37.759 --> 00:05:40.040 whole has been giving up more and more runs. It 120 00:05:40.120 --> 00:05:45.120 seems like the bullpen workload is finally catching up with 121 00:05:45.399 --> 00:05:46.879 this team and this staff. 122 00:05:46.959 --> 00:05:48.920 So you think about workload, right, you think about. 123 00:05:49.079 --> 00:05:52.480 Fatigue, location, there's a playerful of the things that affects that, 124 00:05:52.600 --> 00:05:56.040 including repetitions by the other teams, assist a little bit 125 00:05:56.040 --> 00:05:57.399 more of you, right, So they see you a little 126 00:05:57.399 --> 00:05:59.920 bit more, They see where your patterns are, they know 127 00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:02.240 where you like to stay in certain areas and in 128 00:06:02.279 --> 00:06:04.879 certain situations of the game, and then you become a 129 00:06:04.920 --> 00:06:08.040 little more predictable. So the less they see those guys 130 00:06:08.160 --> 00:06:11.120 in the bullpen way better for many reasons, including all 131 00:06:11.160 --> 00:06:12.439 those ones that I just pointed out. 132 00:06:12.639 --> 00:06:15.199 So now it's what's unfortunate is is the timing of 133 00:06:15.240 --> 00:06:19.120 this because the Dodger pitchers, yet again, they're not lining 134 00:06:19.199 --> 00:06:21.839 up and scheduling their injuries properly. Say they need to 135 00:06:21.879 --> 00:06:24.000 space these out a little bit more. But this is 136 00:06:24.199 --> 00:06:26.680 entering really the toughest stretch of the year. I would 137 00:06:26.720 --> 00:06:29.399 say these next four weeks, there won't be another four 138 00:06:29.439 --> 00:06:32.079 week chunk as difficult as this one will be for 139 00:06:32.120 --> 00:06:32.480 the Dodge. 140 00:06:32.600 --> 00:06:34.040 It's a challenge, and you got to go out there 141 00:06:34.079 --> 00:06:34.639 and face it up. 142 00:06:34.680 --> 00:06:37.839 You still were gonna have with a perfect healthy team, 143 00:06:38.079 --> 00:06:40.639 no matter what, you were gonna have to play good baseball. 144 00:06:40.959 --> 00:06:43.279 You're still gonna have that target on your back. And 145 00:06:43.399 --> 00:06:46.160 the moment is nobody feels sorry for you for the injuries. 146 00:06:46.199 --> 00:06:49.800 And last season the Dodgers had more people spending days 147 00:06:49.800 --> 00:06:51.959 in the aisle than anybody else and it was not 148 00:06:52.000 --> 00:06:52.920 an issue whatsoever. 149 00:06:53.040 --> 00:06:54.279 Now and it's concerning. 150 00:06:54.360 --> 00:06:56.319 Let's be realistic, because you just don't know how guys 151 00:06:56.360 --> 00:06:59.079 are going to react to all these challenges. Who's gonna 152 00:06:59.079 --> 00:07:02.079 be exposed a little bit more. The pitching obviously becomes 153 00:07:02.160 --> 00:07:04.439 number one issue right now, but hopefully we'll see is 154 00:07:04.759 --> 00:07:08.000 how about the starting pitchers make a turnaround here when 155 00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:09.199 they really needs it. 156 00:07:09.199 --> 00:07:12.920 It'll be Jack Dryer opening tonight in front of Landon Knack, 157 00:07:12.959 --> 00:07:15.120 who's expected to take down the bulk of the innings 158 00:07:15.120 --> 00:07:18.319 against Brandon Fott, the diamondback right hand or who really 159 00:07:18.959 --> 00:07:21.360 he gave up some loud contact against the Dodgers at 160 00:07:21.439 --> 00:07:25.360 Chase Field last week, but ultimately he didn't break. He bended, 161 00:07:25.480 --> 00:07:27.680 he bent, but he did not break. But to that 162 00:07:27.759 --> 00:07:29.519 point that we're talking about, tim, as we get it 163 00:07:29.560 --> 00:07:31.920 back to you, the Dodgers really just one game above 164 00:07:32.759 --> 00:07:35.759 five hundred this year when playing teams with the winning record. 165 00:07:35.920 --> 00:07:38.720 In the next twenty nine games as we sit here 166 00:07:38.800 --> 00:07:43.120 right now are against winning teams. So the Dodgers are 167 00:07:43.120 --> 00:07:45.560 hoping that one they can get healthy. Certainly they are 168 00:07:45.600 --> 00:07:47.879 from an offensive standpoint. Time we having back to Oscar 169 00:07:47.920 --> 00:07:51.319 Hernandez returns tonight. Now the pitching hopefully that follows here soon. 170 00:07:51.560 --> 00:07:53.680 Yeah, let's hope there. Nelly appreciates we got you down 171 00:07:53.720 --> 00:07:56.360 to first pitch. Dodger fans, get that game day meal 172 00:07:56.480 --> 00:07:59.279 on It's shake He's pizza parlor.

Otani, he 196 00:09:04.200 --> 00:09:07.759 flares it over the head of the third basement Moncatta 197 00:09:07.840 --> 00:09:10.360 and in between Moncata and Taylor. 198 00:09:10.399 --> 00:09:11.279 Award in left. 199 00:09:11.320 --> 00:09:14.320 That's a two out base hit, show hey is award 200 00:09:14.360 --> 00:09:17.679 With two down, four to nothing, Halos payoff pitch coming, 201 00:09:18.000 --> 00:09:20.519 Otani pulls it the right field for a base hit. 202 00:09:20.759 --> 00:09:22.799 Kick Key Hernandez runs. 203 00:09:22.519 --> 00:09:25.000 Through a stop sign to play at the play not 204 00:09:25.159 --> 00:09:28.559 in time, show, Hey, Oldtani, here's the Dodgers on the 205 00:09:28.559 --> 00:09:30.200 board with an RBI base hit. 206 00:09:30.480 --> 00:09:33.559 It's now four to one. Shoe hey. 207 00:09:33.600 --> 00:09:38.320 Otani had three of the Dodgers five hits yesterday, including 208 00:09:38.360 --> 00:09:42.440 that RBI single in the fifth inning. Otani three for 209 00:09:42.639 --> 00:09:46.679 five the RBI a strikeout, now hitting three thirteen on 210 00:09:46.759 --> 00:09:51.639 this season, slugging at six sixty five. Unfortunately, the Dodgers 211 00:09:51.759 --> 00:09:54.000 fell to the Angels yesterday sixty four. 212 00:09:54.600 --> 00:09:58.480 This is Kirston's corner with Kirston Watson. 213 00:09:58.879 --> 00:10:01.240 Hey Kerson now joins from the stadium.

Today, the Dodgers back 218 00:10:11.960 --> 00:10:15.799 at it New Day News series, and the lineup looks 219 00:10:15.919 --> 00:10:18.000 really good with a lot of guys back. 220 00:10:18.799 --> 00:10:21.559 Yeah, with both Tommy Edmund as well as ta Oskar Hernandez, 221 00:10:21.559 --> 00:10:22.960 you're finally just getting back to. 222 00:10:22.960 --> 00:10:24.320 A full strength lineup. 223 00:10:24.320 --> 00:10:27.519 Before Tioscar went onto the IL, I mean, he was 224 00:10:27.639 --> 00:10:29.600 the team r WEI leader and so for him now 225 00:10:29.679 --> 00:10:31.960 to be back into a position that's been a big thing. 226 00:10:31.960 --> 00:10:34.039 It's just making sure we're getting guys home to put 227 00:10:34.080 --> 00:10:36.679 more runs on the board. So of course, with both 228 00:10:36.720 --> 00:10:39.879 of these guys coming off of lower body injuries, so 229 00:10:40.039 --> 00:10:43.759 for Tommy the ankle, for Tioskar has groin, that does 230 00:10:43.879 --> 00:10:46.840 mean that they can't just immediately go back to being 231 00:10:46.879 --> 00:10:49.960 everyday players right now. Of course Dave Roberts wants to 232 00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:51.879 do that, but he did say today that you know, 233 00:10:51.960 --> 00:10:54.799 his gut reaction is to, you know, make sure that 234 00:10:54.799 --> 00:10:57.000 they're playing for the long game, not the short game 235 00:10:57.080 --> 00:11:00.279 right now. So they likely won't play in all three 236 00:11:00.320 --> 00:11:03.440 of just this series with the Diamondbacks. But on the 237 00:11:03.440 --> 00:11:05.200 flip side, that's kind of exciting because that means that 238 00:11:05.200 --> 00:11:08.240 there's gonna be different opportunities for someone like Kisan Kim 239 00:11:08.279 --> 00:11:10.840 to kind of find ways to get out there, and 240 00:11:10.919 --> 00:11:12.799 even for someone like Andty pot Has, even though he's 241 00:11:12.840 --> 00:11:15.080 more of an everyday player, just to course down today, 242 00:11:15.159 --> 00:11:17.120 not to line up out there tonight. 243 00:11:17.200 --> 00:11:19.840 The Dodger's gonna see Brandon Fought, who they saw just 244 00:11:19.840 --> 00:11:22.639 a few weeks ago over in Arizona. Last time they 245 00:11:22.720 --> 00:11:24.960 saw him. Six and a third shutout innis. 246 00:11:25.879 --> 00:11:27.759 Yeah, but you know what, if you really like kind 247 00:11:27.759 --> 00:11:29.840 of go into that game and break down a few things. 248 00:11:30.039 --> 00:11:32.799 They had the roof open in Arizona. The ball plays 249 00:11:32.840 --> 00:11:35.159 a little bit differently when that's the case, and there were, 250 00:11:35.200 --> 00:11:37.279 honestly quite if there were won a lot of hard 251 00:11:37.360 --> 00:11:40.200 hit balls, but they turned into being out, but those 252 00:11:40.399 --> 00:11:43.320 would have been home runs and other ballparks, including of. 253 00:11:43.279 --> 00:11:44.600 Course Dodger Stadium. 254 00:11:44.679 --> 00:11:46.480 So the fact that they were able to get some 255 00:11:46.519 --> 00:11:49.519 hard contact, it'll be really interesting to see just how 256 00:11:49.639 --> 00:11:53.360 that plays now here at Dodger Stadium. Obviously he I 257 00:11:53.399 --> 00:11:55.440 mean he had taken away from him. Yes, there were 258 00:11:55.440 --> 00:11:57.440 hard hit balls, but they were obviously out and he 259 00:11:57.519 --> 00:12:00.000 pitched very well, as you mentioned, getting into the seventh. 260 00:12:00.639 --> 00:12:02.799 But hopefully today they can kind of take what they 261 00:12:02.879 --> 00:12:06.000 learn from that outing, continue to get some contact and 262 00:12:06.080 --> 00:12:08.600 find ways to just put that string them together and 263 00:12:08.639 --> 00:12:10.480 turn them into runs, because that's gonna have to be 264 00:12:10.519 --> 00:12:13.480 the key. And hopefully they can do that early set 265 00:12:13.519 --> 00:12:15.480 the tone in this one, and hopefully they're not playing 266 00:12:15.480 --> 00:12:17.919 from behind, because that has unfortunately been a theme as 267 00:12:17.960 --> 00:12:18.799 of late for this group. 268 00:12:18.919 --> 00:12:22.200 Another thing for this Dodger's team, Dodger pitching not getting 269 00:12:22.200 --> 00:12:22.960 ahead in account. 270 00:12:24.000 --> 00:12:26.480 Yeah, exactly, and so that has got to be the focus. 271 00:12:26.720 --> 00:12:28.840 Dave Roberts was diving into today, and it's something that 272 00:12:28.879 --> 00:12:33.440 this has been such a key attribute of the Dodgers 273 00:12:33.440 --> 00:12:35.480 when it comes to their pitching. You know, they're efficient, 274 00:12:35.519 --> 00:12:36.960 they get ahead on the count and that's what makes 275 00:12:36.960 --> 00:12:39.000 them so effective. But right now they're kind of getting 276 00:12:39.279 --> 00:12:41.559 away from that. We're seeing long at bats, we're seeing 277 00:12:41.600 --> 00:12:43.840 the pitch count get up, we're seeing more walks than usual, 278 00:12:43.960 --> 00:12:46.440 and so they need to find ways and Dave was 279 00:12:46.519 --> 00:12:49.000 emphasizing it's just if you can get that first pitch 280 00:12:49.039 --> 00:12:52.240 strike and kind of control the count and then be 281 00:12:52.399 --> 00:12:54.360 ahead in the count and not get behind in the count, 282 00:12:54.399 --> 00:12:57.080 that's got to be the key. So hopefully, whether it's 283 00:12:57.159 --> 00:12:59.440 Jack Dryer who's going to serve as the opener today. 284 00:12:59.519 --> 00:13:02.559 Hopefully he can do just that. Then Landon Neck is 285 00:13:02.600 --> 00:13:04.960 expected still to take down the bulk of this game. 286 00:13:05.720 --> 00:13:07.200 That's gonna have to be a key for him, because 287 00:13:07.240 --> 00:13:09.440 if you look at his last two outings, I mean, look, Miami, 288 00:13:09.519 --> 00:13:13.399 he was excellent. Last one against the A's not as much, 289 00:13:14.399 --> 00:13:16.440 and so if he can do that today, hopefully he 290 00:13:16.480 --> 00:13:19.799 can have a quality outing, especially against a team that 291 00:13:19.840 --> 00:13:21.600 we know is going to be aggressive. So he's got 292 00:13:21.720 --> 00:13:24.120 to have to find ways to get that first pitch strike. 293 00:13:24.039 --> 00:13:26.679 That Dodgers need him to do that tonight, no doubt, Kirston, 294 00:13:26.759 --> 00:13:28.639 we appreciate it. Still to come here on Marongo Casino 295 00:13:28.720 --> 00:13:31.000 Dodgers on deck, will die deep into this pitching matchup. 296 00:13:31.039 --> 00:13:33.799 David Batstate goes one on one with Matt sour. We'll 297 00:13:33.840 --> 00:13:35.519 get you an injury or fourth though, will we come 298 00:13:35.559 --> 00:13:37.799 back in well?

In here for 323 00:14:55.360 --> 00:14:57.279 more from the Dodgers skipper. 324 00:14:58.639 --> 00:15:02.000 One questions for Dave David you just described du Can 325 00:15:02.039 --> 00:15:03.720 you talk about the pressure. 326 00:15:04.120 --> 00:15:06.679 In the dugouts with Dave Robberts. 327 00:15:07.000 --> 00:15:09.519 You know, I just think that you know, Foughts throwing 328 00:15:09.519 --> 00:15:13.519 the baseball well against this good young pitcher, and I 329 00:15:13.799 --> 00:15:16.120 just think that offensively, I think we're doing a lot 330 00:15:16.159 --> 00:15:19.879 of good things. And so I like the lineup of 331 00:15:19.960 --> 00:15:22.320 running out there. I like giving Andy a day off 332 00:15:22.600 --> 00:15:25.879 kind of pushed him a lot. But I like we're 333 00:15:25.919 --> 00:15:27.600 at so I think that you know, he's gonna make pitch, 334 00:15:27.600 --> 00:15:30.159 he's gonna compete, he's gonna spin it, he's got you know, 335 00:15:30.240 --> 00:15:33.480 mid nineties fastball. But I just think we've got We're 336 00:15:33.480 --> 00:15:36.000 gonna go out there and have a good approach. And 337 00:15:36.600 --> 00:15:39.600 you know, for me opening up with Dryer, I think 338 00:15:39.600 --> 00:15:41.720 it just gives land In a little bit more chance 339 00:15:41.759 --> 00:15:45.240 to take down more hitters, and you know, and then 340 00:15:45.240 --> 00:15:48.440 we'll see kind of where we land. You know, after 341 00:15:48.519 --> 00:15:50.240 he's out of the game, do you see a. 342 00:15:50.200 --> 00:15:53.320 Bad time getting slip up or a kid seem like 343 00:15:53.360 --> 00:15:55.720 a Borno has kind of work way out to pull 344 00:15:55.759 --> 00:15:56.879 a multiple well. 345 00:15:57.120 --> 00:16:00.000 I think Andy is an everyday player, and I think 346 00:16:00.240 --> 00:16:03.559 that I've shown that he's earned it with a sporadic 347 00:16:03.600 --> 00:16:09.039 off day. I think that with Kim getting Tommy uh 348 00:16:09.200 --> 00:16:13.159 some days once in a while, I think getting Tail 349 00:16:13.679 --> 00:16:15.879 a day here or there once he to get his 350 00:16:15.879 --> 00:16:19.879 feet back on, legs back under him. I think we'll 351 00:16:19.879 --> 00:16:23.960 give Michael a day here in the next two so 352 00:16:24.039 --> 00:16:25.639 then I think that'll be a way to kind of 353 00:16:25.720 --> 00:16:30.200 keep you know, Kim involved, So you know, I say, 354 00:16:30.879 --> 00:16:34.600 you know, I would probably say three and a half 355 00:16:34.639 --> 00:16:36.360 times a week getting him in there to start, and 356 00:16:36.399 --> 00:16:37.879 also he's gonna come into games too. 357 00:16:38.200 --> 00:16:40.320 All right, there's Dave Roberts talking about how he's going 358 00:16:40.360 --> 00:16:43.559 to moon over the chess pieces around the chess board 359 00:16:43.840 --> 00:16:46.720 with the lineups every day on this Dodgers team. Interesting 360 00:16:46.759 --> 00:16:48.440 to hear how they're going to approach what's coming up 361 00:16:48.600 --> 00:16:51.159 on the schedule.

Jack Dryer and Brandon font 371 00:17:25.720 --> 00:17:28.440 the pitching matchup, first pitch coming up at seven. 372 00:17:28.319 --> 00:17:32.960 Ten, Joining Tim Kates on Dodgers on Deck. 373 00:17:33.039 --> 00:17:34.799 I accept everybody for who they are. 374 00:17:34.920 --> 00:17:39.119 This is Dodger insider David Base all right, DV. 375 00:17:39.440 --> 00:17:42.039 A lot of talk about the rotation the pitching staff. 376 00:17:42.079 --> 00:17:45.720 This Dodgers bullpen feels like it's getting thinner and thinner. 377 00:17:45.759 --> 00:17:46.720 What are their options? 378 00:17:47.920 --> 00:17:51.119 Yeah, it's The options are for the offense to pick 379 00:17:51.200 --> 00:17:54.079 up the pitching staff like they have been recently, and 380 00:17:54.200 --> 00:17:57.839 also the starters to go deeper into games to ease 381 00:17:57.880 --> 00:18:02.119 the burden on that bullpen that now is minus Blake Trinin, 382 00:18:02.279 --> 00:18:06.680 minus Michael Kopek, minus Evan Phillips, and minus Kirby Yates 383 00:18:06.720 --> 00:18:10.400 as high leverage relievers, not to mention Bruce dar graderol 384 00:18:10.519 --> 00:18:11.119 who is. 385 00:18:11.039 --> 00:18:13.200 Not expected back until the second half. 386 00:18:13.799 --> 00:18:17.279 So it kind of reminds me tim of last year 387 00:18:17.480 --> 00:18:20.759 around the All Star break where the Dodgers came out 388 00:18:20.759 --> 00:18:23.279 of it and had to play guys like Havin Bigio 389 00:18:23.359 --> 00:18:26.920 and Taylor Tremmel. That's the state of the Dodger bullpen 390 00:18:27.079 --> 00:18:30.880 right now outside of Tanner Scott and Alex Vesia. So 391 00:18:31.240 --> 00:18:34.319 the Dodger starters have to go deeper into games, so 392 00:18:34.880 --> 00:18:37.240 the Dodgers don't have to lean on guys that. 393 00:18:37.480 --> 00:18:39.559 Aren't high leverage relievers. 394 00:18:39.759 --> 00:18:43.640 And if you're looking for another solution in the minor leagues, 395 00:18:44.079 --> 00:18:47.440 I've suggested Nick Frosso in the last few days. But 396 00:18:47.599 --> 00:18:50.559 Frosso is not pitching as well as he was in 397 00:18:50.640 --> 00:18:53.039 spring training, and the Dodgers are trying to correct that. 398 00:18:53.400 --> 00:18:55.440 David is driven by four. There's one thing we like. 399 00:18:55.519 --> 00:18:58.000 It's choice is fine yours with the four F one 400 00:18:58.039 --> 00:19:00.880 to fifty gas hybrid all electric tough. This mark can 401 00:19:00.960 --> 00:19:03.559
