Well. On Sunday, it was Otani 43 00:02:05.719 --> 00:02:10.039 Day Show. Hey Otani got the start his second in 44 00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:13.120 a Dodger uniform. He wentn't just the one inning, no runs, 45 00:02:13.120 --> 00:02:16.560 no hits. He struck out two. He threw eighteen pitches, 46 00:02:16.639 --> 00:02:19.520 hitting ninety eight miles an hour on his fastball. He 47 00:02:19.639 --> 00:02:22.319 turned it over to Ben Kisperius, who would get a 48 00:02:22.360 --> 00:02:25.199 bulk of the innings On Sunday. He went five innings, 49 00:02:25.199 --> 00:02:27.960 gave up three runs on five hits.

That's the first 66 00:03:12.120 --> 00:03:15.360 Grand Slam hit by a Dodger this season. 67 00:03:17.120 --> 00:03:20.919 Number seven of his career from Max Moncy. 68 00:03:21.240 --> 00:03:24.680 He got all of it, Max Monty. With the Grand 69 00:03:24.759 --> 00:03:28.199 Slam Dodgers slipping around, they take a four to three 70 00:03:28.319 --> 00:03:31.000 lead in the sixth and the seventh they really busted 71 00:03:31.039 --> 00:03:34.759 it open Show Hey Otani a bassis clearing triple that 72 00:03:34.879 --> 00:03:37.919 made it a seven to three Dodgers lead.

They go seven to three 96 00:04:53.879 --> 00:04:56.759 on the homestand and now sitting at forty eight and 97 00:04:56.879 --> 00:04:58.759 thirty one on the season, a three and a half 98 00:04:58.759 --> 00:05:01.519 game lead in the NL. Well us Jack Dryer. He 99 00:05:01.560 --> 00:05:04.319 gets the ball tonight as the Dodgers will head to 100 00:05:04.399 --> 00:05:07.319 Denvers they start a three game series against the Rockies. 101 00:05:07.360 --> 00:05:09.480 First pitch coming up in five forty and with more. 102 00:05:09.519 --> 00:05:12.040 We head out to the Gallpin Moons broadcast booth in 103 00:05:12.120 --> 00:05:15.040 Denver as we say hello to Tim Nevertt and rig 104 00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:15.800 Monday guys. 105 00:05:16.199 --> 00:05:19.319 Tim, thanks very much. A little overcast and some sprinkles 106 00:05:19.360 --> 00:05:23.199 here in Denver, Colorado, but the weather should pass through 107 00:05:23.279 --> 00:05:26.120 and the Dodgers and Rockies will begin this three game 108 00:05:26.240 --> 00:05:29.759 set here in the Mile High City. The Dodgers come 109 00:05:29.800 --> 00:05:31.759 in with a record of forty eight and thirty one, 110 00:05:31.800 --> 00:05:33.560 three and a half games in front of the Giants, 111 00:05:33.800 --> 00:05:36.839 while the Rockies are twenty nine and a half games 112 00:05:36.879 --> 00:05:40.360 out eighteen and sixty overall, but they've won five of 113 00:05:40.480 --> 00:05:43.319 their last eight games and things seem to be getting 114 00:05:43.319 --> 00:05:46.519 a little better in Rocky Land. Jack Dryer will be 115 00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:50.120 the opener tonight, and we expect Justin Robleski to pitch 116 00:05:50.160 --> 00:05:53.560 most of the game for the Dodgers. Herman Marquez, who 117 00:05:53.639 --> 00:05:56.480 pitched against the Dodgers back at Dodgers Stadium in April 118 00:05:56.759 --> 00:05:59.360 and only lasted two thirds of an inning, will have 119 00:05:59.519 --> 00:06:03.639 the start for Colorado Day off yesterday, ma and certainly 120 00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:05.959 one that was needed. The Dodgers had played twenty three 121 00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:08.920 games in twenty four days, but even though they had 122 00:06:09.040 --> 00:06:12.759 so much concentrated activity, they still were able to break 123 00:06:12.759 --> 00:06:14.959 a tie with the Giants and the Padres and really 124 00:06:14.959 --> 00:06:16.639 build a lead in the National League. 125 00:06:16.399 --> 00:06:18.920 West, including winning seven of the last nine. And in 126 00:06:18.920 --> 00:06:21.920 that period of time they've scored on average over six 127 00:06:21.959 --> 00:06:24.399 and a half runs in seventeen home runs as well. 128 00:06:25.040 --> 00:06:27.399 One thing that I would say to the Dodgers do 129 00:06:27.519 --> 00:06:30.279 not take the Rockies lightly. Yes, they've lost sixty games, 130 00:06:30.279 --> 00:06:32.879 but as you were talking about, they've won five of 131 00:06:32.920 --> 00:06:35.120 the last eight and they have scored a bunch of 132 00:06:35.199 --> 00:06:38.360 runs over those eight games, So they're kind of looking 133 00:06:38.360 --> 00:06:41.279 for something refreshing and would like to get things going. 134 00:06:41.360 --> 00:06:43.839 We'll kind out what's going to happen here tonight. I 135 00:06:43.839 --> 00:06:46.279 think the biggest thing too, is, you know, there was 136 00:06:46.519 --> 00:06:49.480 light rain during battle practice. The lights run a little 137 00:06:49.480 --> 00:06:52.079 bit later on, but it doesn't really affect the weather 138 00:06:52.480 --> 00:06:52.839 up here. 139 00:06:52.839 --> 00:06:53.279 I think the. 140 00:06:53.240 --> 00:06:56.439 Dodgers realize three and a half in front of San Francisco, 141 00:06:56.600 --> 00:06:58.600 five and a half in front of San Diego, but 142 00:06:58.720 --> 00:07:01.600 they were no doubt like to increase that lead. 143 00:07:02.160 --> 00:07:04.399 Shohi Otani started swinging a good bat at the end 144 00:07:04.439 --> 00:07:08.160 of the series with Washington and Max Munsey has been 145 00:07:08.199 --> 00:07:10.759 swinging a pretty good bat all month of June. Seven 146 00:07:10.879 --> 00:07:13.360 RBIs third time in his career he's had a seven 147 00:07:13.439 --> 00:07:17.879 RBI game. That was on Sunday afternoon. But you know, 148 00:07:17.959 --> 00:07:20.959 here is a place where Otani has hit exceptionally well 149 00:07:21.720 --> 00:07:24.879 against the Rockies and months he's done great here as well. 150 00:07:24.920 --> 00:07:27.720 Yeah, I talked to Munseie briefly on the airplane yesterday 151 00:07:27.720 --> 00:07:31.800 from lax to Denver, and I just asked him. I said, hey, 152 00:07:31.920 --> 00:07:34.199 did you get on that Grand Slam home run? He goes, yeah, 153 00:07:34.199 --> 00:07:35.560 I got every ounce of it. And I said, we'll 154 00:07:35.680 --> 00:07:38.079 just keep doing that over and over and over. I'll 155 00:07:38.079 --> 00:07:39.959 tell you a couple of hot hitters. Look at Will 156 00:07:39.959 --> 00:07:42.480 Smith the last seven games, he's hit four h nine, 157 00:07:43.120 --> 00:07:46.040 but on the flip side of the coin. Freddie Freeman 158 00:07:46.120 --> 00:07:48.839 trying to figure it out the last fifteen games, Freddie 159 00:07:48.920 --> 00:07:51.480 swinging the bass but hitting just a buck eighty six 160 00:07:51.879 --> 00:07:53.720 in that period of time. I said to him on 161 00:07:53.759 --> 00:07:55.600 the plane, I said, look, you're going to try anything 162 00:07:55.600 --> 00:07:57.759 differently today. He goes, well, I'm going to try a 163 00:07:57.759 --> 00:08:01.079 little different approach in the batting practice watching him. He did, 164 00:08:01.439 --> 00:08:02.920 and we'll see if he's going to pay off tonight. 165 00:08:02.920 --> 00:08:04.639 I told him, say, look, you're right on the version 166 00:08:04.800 --> 00:08:06.040 of breaking out and getting high. 167 00:08:06.360 --> 00:08:09.639 Now, Freddie Freeman is on the verge of four thousand 168 00:08:10.000 --> 00:08:12.800 total basis for his career. You know, for a guy 169 00:08:12.800 --> 00:08:14.439 who played a long time, can you put that in 170 00:08:14.519 --> 00:08:17.319 perspective of how difficult that is to get to four thousand. 171 00:08:17.720 --> 00:08:20.240 It's unimaginable being able to do that. That's not a 172 00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:25.120 goalie said, you're setting goals maybe having some periodic longevity 173 00:08:25.120 --> 00:08:27.680 in this game, maybe being able to hit X number 174 00:08:27.720 --> 00:08:29.839 of home runs, maybe being able to hit a certain 175 00:08:29.879 --> 00:08:33.159 batting average in your career, but to accumulate that many 176 00:08:33.200 --> 00:08:35.720 total bases and the games that he has played, it's 177 00:08:35.799 --> 00:08:39.600 really it's been a remarkable career and he's not done. 178 00:08:39.879 --> 00:08:42.440 The Rockies will have a different looking lineup tonight as 179 00:08:42.480 --> 00:08:45.200 they have shaken things up to start this three game 180 00:08:45.320 --> 00:08:48.039 set with the Dodgers. A lot of Dodger fans expected 181 00:08:48.039 --> 00:08:51.159 to be here in Denver for the series and especially 182 00:08:51.200 --> 00:08:54.639 tonight for the opener Dodgers and Rockies coming up from 183 00:08:54.679 --> 00:08:55.519 the Mile High City. 184 00:08:55.600 --> 00:08:57.440 Tim all right, thank you guys, as we count you 185 00:08:57.480 --> 00:08:59.360 down to first pitch.

And sometimes you can go 239 00:11:36.919 --> 00:11:39.480 to Colorado and your bullpen will get lit up. They 240 00:11:39.519 --> 00:11:41.960 say it's where bullpens go to die. But other times 241 00:11:42.000 --> 00:11:43.879 you can go there to get right, especially if you're 242 00:11:43.879 --> 00:11:45.399 an offense or some guys struggling. 243 00:11:46.759 --> 00:11:48.679 I love how you said that. You're right, Samley, it's 244 00:11:48.720 --> 00:11:51.679 a hitter's friendly ballpark. And so of course we've seen 245 00:11:51.840 --> 00:11:54.039 we're coming off of a game in which the Dodgers 246 00:11:54.039 --> 00:11:57.000 may face the Nationals. Guys took off, whether that was 247 00:11:57.080 --> 00:12:00.440 next Monday, hitting what his two hundredth for your run 248 00:12:00.559 --> 00:12:03.279 in Dodger's uniform and it being a Grand Slam, I'll 249 00:12:03.279 --> 00:12:05.679 go ahead, Grand Slam, and following it up with another 250 00:12:05.720 --> 00:12:08.080 home run that game. So we started seeing kind of 251 00:12:08.200 --> 00:12:10.879 the beginning of it. But now that where you're in Colorado. 252 00:12:11.279 --> 00:12:13.120 Of course, even saw pretty Freeman knew how to hit 253 00:12:13.279 --> 00:12:15.600 in that last game that it did seem like, you know, 254 00:12:15.679 --> 00:12:17.879 that one had to feel good for him. The hope 255 00:12:17.919 --> 00:12:19.600 is that you come to a place where it is 256 00:12:19.639 --> 00:12:22.000 a hitter friendly ballpark. As we've hit on it, don't 257 00:12:22.039 --> 00:12:24.000 play some more guys can get going. Because of course 258 00:12:24.200 --> 00:12:26.240 you have whether it's Freddie Freeman who has felt like 259 00:12:26.559 --> 00:12:30.720 he just hasn't really been right since what April, end 260 00:12:30.720 --> 00:12:33.000 of April, early May, and he felt like he kind 261 00:12:33.000 --> 00:12:35.720 of his swing got left in Arizona and that was 262 00:12:35.879 --> 00:12:38.320 May eleventh. So he's been looking to kind of get 263 00:12:38.320 --> 00:12:40.759 things going again and kind of frustrated at the play. 264 00:12:40.960 --> 00:12:43.240 Don't play see someone who's kind of turned things around 265 00:12:43.279 --> 00:12:46.279 or use Colorado and the elements to his advantage. Then 266 00:12:46.320 --> 00:12:48.639 you also someone like Lucie Betts who has been grinding, 267 00:12:48.639 --> 00:12:50.720 and Dave said today he just feels like right now 268 00:12:50.720 --> 00:12:53.000 he's missing the barrel. Some of that is pitch selection 269 00:12:53.440 --> 00:12:55.519 of its mechanics. But for him, if he can just 270 00:12:55.600 --> 00:12:57.879 kind of get himself into a good spot, into a 271 00:12:57.919 --> 00:13:00.159 good groove, be able to turn some things around to 272 00:13:00.279 --> 00:13:03.120 get back on track where he likes to be offensively. 273 00:13:02.840 --> 00:13:06.360 Dodgers goal with Jack Dreyer as the opener in this 274 00:13:06.600 --> 00:13:09.879 series opener, what's the plan after hereson? 275 00:13:10.399 --> 00:13:13.600 Yeah, and so Jack is going to hope with up 276 00:13:13.600 --> 00:13:15.559 the tone in this one and then it's going to 277 00:13:15.559 --> 00:13:17.799 be a justin real bless you day. He's of course 278 00:13:17.879 --> 00:13:20.399 can take Don Walds winnings. He is built up on 279 00:13:20.559 --> 00:13:23.000 that seventy five kind of pitch count range. So hopefully 280 00:13:23.039 --> 00:13:26.840 four or five innings he can take down. It's essentially 281 00:13:26.919 --> 00:13:29.039 going to be his game. Of course, the bullpen is 282 00:13:29.080 --> 00:13:31.639 in a good spot considering the team is coming off 283 00:13:31.679 --> 00:13:34.960 of an off day yesterday, but Dave Roberts is hopeful that, 284 00:13:35.120 --> 00:13:38.519 especially with Justin, whenever he's come out of the bullpen 285 00:13:38.639 --> 00:13:41.679 or come in in relief, the numbers have been much 286 00:13:41.679 --> 00:13:44.440 better than when he's come in as a starter. So 287 00:13:44.679 --> 00:13:47.279 they're kind of maybe able to use that to his advantage, 288 00:13:47.279 --> 00:13:50.039 to their advantage because they're looking to you know, as 289 00:13:50.159 --> 00:13:52.679 much as the Rockies are struggling this year and having 290 00:13:52.679 --> 00:13:55.559 a losing season thus far, they're still looking to pick 291 00:13:55.639 --> 00:13:58.679 up some wins and continue to play Dodgers baseball. Here 292 00:13:58.759 --> 00:13:59.639 in Colorado. 293 00:14:00.120 --> 00:14:03.200 Altitude is a real thing for anybody who goes to 294 00:14:03.320 --> 00:14:05.799 Denver to Colorado. How does it affect you? Does it 295 00:14:05.799 --> 00:14:06.200 affect you? 296 00:14:06.240 --> 00:14:06.799 Do you notice it? 297 00:14:06.879 --> 00:14:07.240 Kureston? 298 00:14:08.399 --> 00:14:10.720 Yes, I do notice it and anything. It's just like 299 00:14:10.919 --> 00:14:13.840 it feels drier here as well. And I will say 300 00:14:14.000 --> 00:14:16.639 because of what happened. Maybe it was like two years 301 00:14:16.679 --> 00:14:18.840 ago we sorted raining and then all of a sudden 302 00:14:18.840 --> 00:14:22.960 he was hailing here at course Fields, so we sorted raining. 303 00:14:22.960 --> 00:14:25.399 This afternoon, and I just get nervous because it might 304 00:14:25.440 --> 00:14:27.879 start hailing in a intrential downpourt any point if I 305 00:14:27.879 --> 00:14:31.320 started sprinting back to the hotel like two blocks. 306 00:14:30.960 --> 00:14:31.759 And I was winded. 307 00:14:31.879 --> 00:14:35.080 So yeah, the guys have oxygen tanks like down here, 308 00:14:35.080 --> 00:14:37.080 a little like pumps that they can use to kind 309 00:14:37.080 --> 00:14:40.519 of rehoop the lungs if need beads. It is a 310 00:14:40.519 --> 00:14:44.519 little rain in the forecast for this evening. So all 311 00:14:44.559 --> 00:14:47.279 we know is we are in Denver, and this is 312 00:14:47.320 --> 00:14:50.840 forest Fields World, and whatever course Field wants forest Fields getting, 313 00:14:51.639 --> 00:14:53.679 We're all in for a surprise. I feel like that's 314 00:14:53.720 --> 00:14:54.080 the case. 315 00:14:54.759 --> 00:14:56.840 Denver's one of those cities they say, if you don't 316 00:14:56.879 --> 00:14:59.480 like the weather, wait five minutes, it's gonna change anyway. 317 00:14:59.600 --> 00:15:03.639 So literally, we shall see Kirsty.

I think with Freddy 374 00:17:54.119 --> 00:17:58.319 I have seen some signs where you know, he's he's 375 00:17:58.799 --> 00:18:01.920 hit some balls hard and hasn't gotten anything to show 376 00:18:02.000 --> 00:18:08.160 for it, so that sort of is discouraging for him. 377 00:18:08.599 --> 00:18:10.519 I just know he's gonna find his way out of it, 378 00:18:10.559 --> 00:18:13.880 and I think with MOOKI I've seen some signs that 379 00:18:14.480 --> 00:18:16.880 he's gonna find his way out as well. I do 380 00:18:17.000 --> 00:18:19.279 think that getting on the road, we had I think 381 00:18:19.359 --> 00:18:22.640 nine of ten home the home games were night games, 382 00:18:22.680 --> 00:18:25.680 and it was just kind of a lot intense. Getting 383 00:18:25.680 --> 00:18:27.400 on the road I think is gonna kind of lend 384 00:18:27.440 --> 00:18:29.720 itself to a little bit more offense. 385 00:18:29.759 --> 00:18:32.440 I think, all right, there's a manager, Dave Roberts, covering 386 00:18:32.480 --> 00:18:35.599 a lot of things, the injuries, maybe Otani pitching in 387 00:18:35.680 --> 00:18:39.680 Kansas City, and Freddy Freeman holy turning around things offensively 388 00:18:40.200 --> 00:18:42.880 on this road trip. Will we continue here on Dodgers 389 00:18:42.880 --> 00:18:45.960 on Deck, We'll get the latest with the David vat 390 00:18:46.119 --> 00:18:48.440 say as Orlin, you have to first bitch of the 391 00:18:48.519 --> 00:18:53.079 Mile High City Denver, Colorado Dodgers rock He's the first 392 00:18:53.079 --> 00:18:55.559 pitch at five forty of Tim Kase's world champion Los 393 00:18:55.599 --> 00:18:56.880 Angeles Dodgers audio that. 394 00:18:56.880 --> 00:19:03.000 Way as we were saying yes, is Marongo Casino Dodgers 395 00:19:03.079 --> 00:19:07.160 on tack on, the official home of La Dodgers Baseball. 396 00:19:09.839 --> 00:19:12.680 Dodgers and the Rockies start up a three game set 397 00:19:12.759 --> 00:19:15.400 from Denver.
