6
00:00:17.719 --> 00:00:20.519
<v Speaker 2>East Coast road trip. They started off the year eight

7
00:00:20.559 --> 00:00:23.559
<v Speaker 2>and zero, drop two of three over the weekend in Philadelphia,

8

11
00:00:32.399 --> 00:00:35.880
<v Speaker 2>this series finale, first pitch coming up at one oh five.

12
00:00:35.960 --> 00:00:38.600
<v Speaker 2>Between then and now, we got a lot to get

13
00:00:38.640 --> 00:00:41.320
<v Speaker 2>to here on Marongo Casino, Dodgers on Deck, you're gonna

14
00:00:41.320 --> 00:00:44.479
<v Speaker 2>hear from the manager himself. Dave Roberts will dive deeper

15
00:00:44.719 --> 00:00:47.719
<v Speaker 2>into today's pitching matchup with Landon Neck called up from

16
00:00:47.759 --> 00:00:50.759
<v Speaker 2>TRIPLEA Oklahoma City. David Vassa is gonna go one on

17
00:00:50.759 --> 00:00:53.399
<v Speaker 2>one with one of the bright relievers for the Dodgers,

18
00:00:53.560 --> 00:00:56.840
<v Speaker 2>Jack Dreyer. We've got your Dodgers magical moment. We got

19
00:00:56.840 --> 00:00:59.600
<v Speaker 2>your prize picks. Double play of the day coming up

20
00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:01.960
<v Speaker 2>in thirty minutes. Shortly we'll hear from Kirsten and Watson

21
00:01:02.119 --> 00:01:04.200
<v Speaker 2>from Sports and at LA who is on the field

22
00:01:04.480 --> 00:01:06.840
<v Speaker 2>in Washington, DC. In just a few minutes, we'll send

23
00:01:06.840 --> 00:01:09.680
<v Speaker 2>it out to the Gallpin Motors broadcast booth with Tim

24
00:01:09.719 --> 00:01:13.319
<v Speaker 2>Neffett and Rick monday Well. Yesterday in Washington, DC, the

25
00:01:13.439 --> 00:01:16.920
<v Speaker 2>Nationals got after the Dodgers early and off, and Justin

26
00:01:17.040 --> 00:01:19.879
<v Speaker 2>Robleski got the start. The left ender had a great

27
00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:23.200
<v Speaker 2>spring for the Dodgers, but that success didn't translate to

28
00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:26.040
<v Speaker 2>the mount yesterday. In the first inning, a lead off single,

29
00:01:26.079 --> 00:01:29.239
<v Speaker 2>then James Wood a two run home run, the Nationals

30
00:01:29.280 --> 00:01:32.200
<v Speaker 2>grabbed the early two to nothing lead. In this second

31
00:01:32.280 --> 00:01:35.799
<v Speaker 2>Robleski got two quick outs but then ran into trouble.

32
00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:38.519
<v Speaker 2>A single, two walks loaded the bases, then a walk

33
00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:40.640
<v Speaker 2>to Woods brought in the third run of the game.

34
00:01:40.840 --> 00:01:43.480
<v Speaker 2>That was followed by an RBI single from former Dodger

35
00:01:43.519 --> 00:01:47.640
<v Speaker 2>prospect Camber Luiz and the Nationals had a five nothing

36
00:01:47.760 --> 00:01:51.439
<v Speaker 2>lead on the Dodgers. Then in the fourth, Robleski again

37
00:01:51.959 --> 00:01:54.599
<v Speaker 2>dug himself out of a hole. A leadoff single, then

38
00:01:54.599 --> 00:01:56.719
<v Speaker 2>a walk, a sack five minut at six nothing, but

39
00:01:56.840 --> 00:01:59.599
<v Speaker 2>then James Woods with another blast.

40
00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:02.760
<v Speaker 3>Left handed batter James Wood, who homered one time, and

41
00:02:02.799 --> 00:02:04.760
<v Speaker 3>he hits one deep to right center field.

42
00:02:04.799 --> 00:02:05.719
<v Speaker 4>He's done it again.

43
00:02:06.319 --> 00:02:09.639
<v Speaker 3>His third home run of the series is second of

44
00:02:09.759 --> 00:02:13.639
<v Speaker 3>the ball game. Two more runs come in. It is

45
00:02:13.919 --> 00:02:17.840
<v Speaker 3>eight to nothing on a two homer night for James Wood.

46
00:02:18.240 --> 00:02:21.039
<v Speaker 2>Two run shot for the twenty two year old budding

47
00:02:21.080 --> 00:02:23.879
<v Speaker 2>superstar for the Washington Nationals. They had an eight to

48
00:02:23.879 --> 00:02:26.400
<v Speaker 2>nothing lead. The Dodgers offense a rough go at it

49
00:02:26.719 --> 00:02:29.719
<v Speaker 2>until the fifth when Andy pat Has hit a home run,

50
00:02:29.759 --> 00:02:32.840
<v Speaker 2>his first of the season, a solo shot that got

51
00:02:32.840 --> 00:02:35.240
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers on the board down eight to one. Then

52
00:02:35.360 --> 00:02:38.080
<v Speaker 2>in the eighth, Dodgers got on the board again thanks to.

53
00:02:38.199 --> 00:02:41.800
<v Speaker 3>Kike less than ninety minutes from wherever you are, Morongo,

54
00:02:41.960 --> 00:02:46.479
<v Speaker 3>celebrating twenty years of good times. Key k Swings Hammers

55
00:02:46.479 --> 00:02:48.960
<v Speaker 3>won the left. This ball deep and heading to the wall,

56
00:02:49.159 --> 00:02:51.840
<v Speaker 3>it is gone. It's a home run for Kei k

57
00:02:53.080 --> 00:02:57.159
<v Speaker 3>Key k Hernandez. With four hits on the season, all

58
00:02:57.439 --> 00:03:00.800
<v Speaker 3>four of them have been home runs. The score is

59
00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:01.759
<v Speaker 3>now eight to two.

60
00:03:02.120 --> 00:03:04.759
<v Speaker 2>Solo home run for Kik, but too little, too late

61
00:03:04.800 --> 00:03:07.719
<v Speaker 2>for the Dodgers. They fall to the Nationals yesterday eight

62
00:03:07.800 --> 00:03:10.080
<v Speaker 2>to two. With the loss, Dodgers have now dropped three

63
00:03:10.159 --> 00:03:13.360
<v Speaker 2>in a row for their last five on this road trip. Today, though,

64
00:03:13.520 --> 00:03:15.879
<v Speaker 2>they look to end on a winning note with Landon

65
00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:17.960
<v Speaker 2>Knack on the mount and with more. We head out

66
00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:20.759
<v Speaker 2>to the Gallpin Moters Broadcast Center and say hello to

67
00:03:20.800 --> 00:03:23.120
<v Speaker 2>Tim Neffett and Rick Monday. Guys.

68
00:03:23.479 --> 00:03:26.439
<v Speaker 3>Tim, really nice day here in the nation's capital. Sunshine,

69
00:03:26.479 --> 00:03:29.520
<v Speaker 3>blue skies, not a cloud anywhere. Temperature is a little

70
00:03:29.520 --> 00:03:31.680
<v Speaker 3>bit cool, but it's going to be a really good

71
00:03:31.680 --> 00:03:35.360
<v Speaker 3>afternoon for a ballgame here on getaway Day at Nationals Park.

72
00:03:35.400 --> 00:03:37.919
<v Speaker 3>And the Dodgers are in a position today where they're

73
00:03:37.919 --> 00:03:41.319
<v Speaker 3>trying to salvage a game out of this three game set.

74
00:03:41.360 --> 00:03:43.599
<v Speaker 3>They come in with a record of nine and four

75
00:03:44.159 --> 00:03:48.080
<v Speaker 3>and the Nationals five and six after winning four straight.

76
00:03:48.439 --> 00:03:51.199
<v Speaker 3>Jake Irvin gets the start for the Nets, no decisions

77
00:03:51.199 --> 00:03:53.080
<v Speaker 3>but an ERA of nearly five and a half, and

78
00:03:53.199 --> 00:03:55.840
<v Speaker 3>Landon Nack will make his second appearance. He's one to

79
00:03:55.919 --> 00:03:59.800
<v Speaker 3>zero with an ERA of zero. Well, it's go time

80
00:03:59.840 --> 00:04:02.639
<v Speaker 3>for the Dodgers. Mall things have not gone well for

81
00:04:02.719 --> 00:04:06.400
<v Speaker 3>them here in DC, especially last night when they lost

82
00:04:06.439 --> 00:04:09.520
<v Speaker 3>that ball game by an eight to two score. Dave

83
00:04:09.639 --> 00:04:11.680
<v Speaker 3>Roberts telling us in the dugout just a little while

84
00:04:11.759 --> 00:04:14.759
<v Speaker 3>ago he fully expects a much different effort today.

85
00:04:14.960 --> 00:04:18.240
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, and just reading between the lines. In his postgame

86
00:04:18.279 --> 00:04:21.639
<v Speaker 5>comments last night, the manager was not particularly thrilled with

87
00:04:22.439 --> 00:04:24.680
<v Speaker 5>what has happened on this road trip where they're one

88
00:04:24.759 --> 00:04:26.879
<v Speaker 5>and four, and there's a couple of reasons for it.

89
00:04:26.920 --> 00:04:31.199
<v Speaker 5>Obviously the loss is no question about that. But missed opportunities.

90
00:04:31.240 --> 00:04:34.519
<v Speaker 5>I mean, in five games, the Dodgers have struck out

91
00:04:34.560 --> 00:04:39.079
<v Speaker 5>fifty times, including fifteen last night, so they haven't really

92
00:04:39.160 --> 00:04:42.040
<v Speaker 5>covered a lot of pitches very well at all, and

93
00:04:42.079 --> 00:04:45.160
<v Speaker 5>that's not created many many opportunities. In fact, I talk

94
00:04:45.199 --> 00:04:48.240
<v Speaker 5>about runners in scoring position a lot. On this road trip.

95
00:04:48.279 --> 00:04:50.639
<v Speaker 5>Dodgers are hitting just one, eight, two, only twenty two

96
00:04:50.720 --> 00:04:54.240
<v Speaker 5>at bats with runners in scoring business position, and in comparison,

97
00:04:54.680 --> 00:04:58.160
<v Speaker 5>the visiting teams have had forty opportunities to knock in

98
00:04:58.319 --> 00:05:00.959
<v Speaker 5>run with somebody in scoring position. That's going to change

99
00:05:01.000 --> 00:05:03.199
<v Speaker 5>a little bit, and no better time to do it

100
00:05:03.240 --> 00:05:04.319
<v Speaker 5>than this afternoon.

101
00:05:04.399 --> 00:05:06.319
<v Speaker 3>A little bit of a change in the Nationals order

102
00:05:06.360 --> 00:05:09.720
<v Speaker 3>is CJ. Abrams, the regular shortstop who has had a

103
00:05:09.759 --> 00:05:13.560
<v Speaker 3>thigh contusion. He is back in the lineup today, leading off,

104
00:05:13.959 --> 00:05:17.040
<v Speaker 3>and then James Wood who's been a Dodger killer this

105
00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:20.319
<v Speaker 3>series with three home runs. Will bat Sakon would really

106
00:05:20.399 --> 00:05:23.439
<v Speaker 3>proving himself to be a good, very good, an exceptional

107
00:05:23.480 --> 00:05:23.959
<v Speaker 3>young player.

108
00:05:24.040 --> 00:05:26.360
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, and if we look at the Nationals what they

109
00:05:26.399 --> 00:05:29.720
<v Speaker 5>have done. Dave Martinez their manager, he has put guys

110
00:05:29.759 --> 00:05:32.439
<v Speaker 5>in motion. They have not been afraid to either go

111
00:05:32.519 --> 00:05:34.199
<v Speaker 5>on the front end of a hit and run or

112
00:05:34.319 --> 00:05:37.839
<v Speaker 5>just a straight out steel attempt. They've had a lot

113
00:05:37.839 --> 00:05:40.680
<v Speaker 5>of action on the base pass and they've had plenty

114
00:05:40.720 --> 00:05:44.439
<v Speaker 5>of opportunities because of either walks issued or base hits.

115
00:05:44.759 --> 00:05:47.279
<v Speaker 5>The other part two, the Dodgers have not played really

116
00:05:47.319 --> 00:05:50.240
<v Speaker 5>a clean game day after day on this road trip.

117
00:05:50.399 --> 00:05:53.480
<v Speaker 5>They've made way too many mistakes physically with airs.

118
00:05:53.240 --> 00:05:56.839
<v Speaker 3>Keith k Hernandez back at first base, hitting atheists four

119
00:05:56.959 --> 00:06:00.560
<v Speaker 3>hits on the season and all four have been home runs,

120
00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:03.720
<v Speaker 3>and Dave Roberts saying today that Freddy Freeman's rehab has

121
00:06:03.720 --> 00:06:06.399
<v Speaker 3>been going very very well and they expect him to

122
00:06:06.399 --> 00:06:09.199
<v Speaker 3>be back in the lineup Friday night at Dodgers Stadium

123
00:06:09.240 --> 00:06:12.959
<v Speaker 3>against the Cubs playing first base, Jake Irvin going for

124
00:06:13.040 --> 00:06:17.319
<v Speaker 3>the Nationals, and Landon Knack pitching for the Dodgers here

147
00:07:29.680 --> 00:07:31.839

148
00:07:31.959 --> 00:07:36.000
<v Speaker 3>hit and for Otani he continues the longest on bass

149
00:07:36.079 --> 00:07:40.279

153
00:07:45.879 --> 00:07:48.199
<v Speaker 2>Hey, Otani couldn't be stopped yesterday in the ninth inning.

154
00:07:48.240 --> 00:07:50.600
<v Speaker 2>With that, it's single two strikeouts, though one for five.

155
00:07:50.639 --> 00:07:52.639
<v Speaker 2>On the afternoon, he had an up and down road

156

<v Speaker 1>This is Kirston's corner with Kirston Watson.

00:08:20.759 --> 00:08:23.879

167
00:08:23.959 --> 00:08:25.879
<v Speaker 2>some positive energy and on winning.

168
00:08:25.879 --> 00:08:28.800
<v Speaker 6>Note, Yeah, it's been it a few days here for

169
00:08:28.879 --> 00:08:31.759
<v Speaker 6>the Dodgers going up against the Nationals, who's been freezing.

170
00:08:31.759 --> 00:08:33.919
<v Speaker 6>There's all of those things that the guys, they will

171
00:08:34.000 --> 00:08:36.840
<v Speaker 6>not make that as an excuse. Ultimately, last night Jess

172
00:08:36.960 --> 00:08:39.559
<v Speaker 6>Robleski just said we just didn't have his stuff, wasn't

173
00:08:39.559 --> 00:08:42.919
<v Speaker 6>able to execute his pitches, and obviously we saw the

174
00:08:42.919 --> 00:08:44.799
<v Speaker 6>big home runs that they were able to put up

175
00:08:44.799 --> 00:08:45.399
<v Speaker 6>on the board.

176
00:08:45.559 --> 00:08:48.799
<v Speaker 7>So with coming into today, Dave robertson saying he.

177
00:08:48.799 --> 00:08:52.879
<v Speaker 8>Does expect a different level of focus. Last night there

178
00:08:52.960 --> 00:08:56.080
<v Speaker 8>was fifteen strikeouts from the Dodgers offense, which when you

179
00:08:56.120 --> 00:08:58.240
<v Speaker 8>look at just the talent of this lineup, that doesn't

180
00:08:58.279 --> 00:09:00.679
<v Speaker 8>seem like anything we would have been saying all year,

181
00:09:01.440 --> 00:09:04.200
<v Speaker 8>unless maybe it's going up against someone like Chris Sale

182
00:09:04.480 --> 00:09:07.159
<v Speaker 8>or Church school Ball, which we already face them, and

183
00:09:07.200 --> 00:09:09.639
<v Speaker 8>that wasn't the results. So when it comes to this

184
00:09:09.720 --> 00:09:13.039
<v Speaker 8>one today sometimes is just about pride and an ego

185
00:09:13.080 --> 00:09:15.279
<v Speaker 8>and wanting to get things going. So Dave Roberts doesn't

186
00:09:15.320 --> 00:09:18.480
<v Speaker 8>expect a different turnout in this one and hopefully, like

187
00:09:18.519 --> 00:09:20.840
<v Speaker 8>we always say, a win and a happy plight home

188
00:09:20.879 --> 00:09:21.559
<v Speaker 8>back to Los.

189
00:09:21.360 --> 00:09:25.240
<v Speaker 2>Angeles, Lan and Nag recall from Triple A Oklahoma City.

190
00:09:25.279 --> 00:09:27.720
<v Speaker 2>He pitched in Tokyo and the Dodgers hoping he pitches

191
00:09:27.759 --> 00:09:28.559
<v Speaker 2>well today.

192
00:09:29.600 --> 00:09:31.720
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, And Dave Roberts has been really impressed with Landon

193
00:09:31.759 --> 00:09:34.639
<v Speaker 7>and just and how he's handled different situations, whether he's

194
00:09:34.679 --> 00:09:37.320
<v Speaker 7>been asking him out of the bullpen a start, come behind,

195
00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:39.600
<v Speaker 7>an opener, or whatever the case has been. He has

196
00:09:39.600 --> 00:09:41.360
<v Speaker 7>found ways to you know, put his team in a

197
00:09:41.399 --> 00:09:44.039
<v Speaker 7>good spot to win. So he does have the tall

198
00:09:44.080 --> 00:09:46.440
<v Speaker 7>task today, but he is going to be supported by

199
00:09:46.480 --> 00:09:49.679
<v Speaker 7>a fully stocked bullpen. That was the positive of Jessin

200
00:09:49.759 --> 00:09:53.120
<v Speaker 7>Robuski's outing yesterday to only use two arms and relief

201
00:09:54.320 --> 00:09:56.039
<v Speaker 7>the guys are in a good spot heading into that

202
00:09:56.080 --> 00:09:59.279
<v Speaker 7>off day tomorrow, so everyone is available and so well,

203
00:09:59.320 --> 00:10:01.879
<v Speaker 7>I guess I'll it's like thanks Various who went multiples

204
00:10:01.960 --> 00:10:05.480
<v Speaker 7>or Luis Garcia, but for all of the key arms

205
00:10:05.519 --> 00:10:08.840
<v Speaker 7>in the bullpen, high leverage arms, everyone's available to support

206
00:10:08.960 --> 00:10:10.120
<v Speaker 7>sat Land and act as may be.

207
00:10:10.200 --> 00:10:13.600
<v Speaker 2>Today, Kirsten, we appreciate it. Hopefully it's a happy flight

208
00:10:13.759 --> 00:10:15.519
<v Speaker 2>back for the Dodgers. We'll check in with you on

209

229

<v Speaker 2>on that coming up with Dave Roberts in just a minute,

230
00:11:17.360 --> 00:11:20.200

231
00:11:20.240 --> 00:11:23.600
<v Speaker 2>on minor league rehab assignments. The Dodgers in all, with

232
00:11:23.840 --> 00:11:26.720
<v Speaker 2>thirteen players on the injured list, let's head back out

233
00:11:26.759 --> 00:11:28.759
<v Speaker 2>to Washington, d C. And check out the Dodgers. Skipper

234
00:11:31.000 --> 00:11:33.879
<v Speaker 2>questions for Dave Dave? Can you just describe Dave?

235
00:11:33.960 --> 00:11:35.759
<v Speaker 4>Can you talk about the pressure.

236
00:11:36.240 --> 00:11:38.399
<v Speaker 1>In the dugouts with Dave Roberts?

237
00:11:39.320 --> 00:11:42.759
<v Speaker 4>What's your expectations when you go back home for Freddie Freeman?

238
00:11:42.879 --> 00:11:44.480
<v Speaker 4>Will he be available on Friday?

239
00:11:45.120 --> 00:11:48.000
<v Speaker 9>So yes, the expectation is for him to be in

240
00:11:48.039 --> 00:11:53.120
<v Speaker 9>the lineup on Friday. He's had live VP the last

241
00:11:53.200 --> 00:11:56.879
<v Speaker 9>couple of days and from what I understand I saw yesterdays,

242
00:11:56.919 --> 00:12:00.440
<v Speaker 9>he's come out of it well. Watched him right the

243
00:12:00.559 --> 00:12:05.480
<v Speaker 9>gate looks really good and so if nothing changes, he'll

244
00:12:05.480 --> 00:12:06.440
<v Speaker 9>be in the line up on Friday.

245
00:12:06.639 --> 00:12:11.279
<v Speaker 4>What's the needle you have to thread as a manager,

246
00:12:11.360 --> 00:12:13.879
<v Speaker 4>as an organization with the guy that obviously is going

247
00:12:13.960 --> 00:12:16.279
<v Speaker 4>to tell you he's fine, but we know that right.

248
00:12:16.320 --> 00:12:18.279
<v Speaker 4>Ankle is still a little tender.

249
00:12:19.000 --> 00:12:23.000
<v Speaker 9>I think the needle. The needle is a little bit

250
00:12:23.080 --> 00:12:26.399
<v Speaker 9>wider in the sense that we've built a relationship now

251
00:12:27.200 --> 00:12:29.399
<v Speaker 9>and I would say that if you would if we

252
00:12:29.440 --> 00:12:32.600
<v Speaker 9>were to rewind three years ago, he would still be

253
00:12:32.679 --> 00:12:37.799
<v Speaker 9>active right now, Whereas I think now he understands the

254
00:12:37.919 --> 00:12:42.399
<v Speaker 9>short term gains the long term, and he'll be the

255
00:12:42.440 --> 00:12:46.039
<v Speaker 9>first to tell you that his time on the IL

256
00:12:46.799 --> 00:12:50.080
<v Speaker 9>was beneficial and as it was last year, and so

257
00:12:50.200 --> 00:12:52.440
<v Speaker 9>I think that that's sort of helped our relationship.

258
00:12:52.960 --> 00:12:55.559
<v Speaker 2>All Right, there's Dave Roberts talking about Freddie Freeman coming

259
00:12:55.600 --> 00:12:58.120
<v Speaker 2>off the injured list on Friday, when the Dodgers return

260

<v Speaker 1>This is Dodger insider David Vase and.

274
00:13:44.480 --> 00:13:46.919
<v Speaker 2>David Vassa now joins this live here on the radio

275
00:13:47.080 --> 00:13:50.279
<v Speaker 2>and on Instagram. Live on a FI seventy LA Sports

276
00:13:50.440 --> 00:13:53.759
<v Speaker 2>Live from Nationals Park, dv A Big day. Today's show

277
00:13:53.799 --> 00:13:55.000
<v Speaker 2>A Otani on the mound.

278
00:13:56.600 --> 00:13:59.799
<v Speaker 4>Yes in the bullpen, Yeah show, Hey, Otani, get used

279
00:13:59.840 --> 00:14:03.000
<v Speaker 4>to this. Every Thursday is going to be throwing a

280
00:14:03.080 --> 00:14:06.399
<v Speaker 4>bullpen session. And with the day off tomorrow, he threw

281
00:14:06.440 --> 00:14:09.519
<v Speaker 4>his bullpen session today. And the reason for that is

282
00:14:10.080 --> 00:14:13.279
<v Speaker 4>Otani wants to keep some sort and the Dodgers want

283
00:14:13.360 --> 00:14:15.759
<v Speaker 4>to keep him on some sort of schedule. When he

284
00:14:15.840 --> 00:14:17.840
<v Speaker 4>does come back to pitch, He's not going to pitch

285
00:14:17.879 --> 00:14:20.440
<v Speaker 4>every fifth day. He's kind of be He's going to

286
00:14:20.519 --> 00:14:23.600
<v Speaker 4>be like Sazaki where he pitches once a week and

287
00:14:23.799 --> 00:14:26.519
<v Speaker 4>for the next few starts. For Sazaki, it's lined up

288
00:14:26.639 --> 00:14:29.960
<v Speaker 4>on every Saturday. So you'll see him Saturday against the Cubs.

289
00:14:30.360 --> 00:14:33.559
<v Speaker 4>And my understanding is Otani has started to throw his

290
00:14:33.679 --> 00:14:36.480
<v Speaker 4>split fingered fastball, so that's a good sign. As well,

291
00:14:36.799 --> 00:14:38.519
<v Speaker 4>And as he walked by me to go throw his

292
00:14:38.600 --> 00:14:42.399
<v Speaker 4>bullpen session today, I offered my services to stand in again.

293
00:14:42.440 --> 00:14:44.720
<v Speaker 4>All he did was laugh, laugh me off.

294
00:14:44.919 --> 00:14:47.039
<v Speaker 2>Well it's not a no, Dave, So there's still a shot.

295
00:14:47.159 --> 00:14:48.879
<v Speaker 2>Dave is driven by Ford. If there's one thing we like,

296
00:14:48.960 --> 00:14:51.120
<v Speaker 2>its choices, find yours with the Ford F one fifty

297
00:14:51.159 --> 00:14:53.399
<v Speaker 2>gas hybrid, all electric, tough. This mark can only be

298
00:14:53.480 --> 00:14:55.679
<v Speaker 2>called F one fifty. We've heard you talking to Dave

299
00:14:55.759 --> 00:14:59.360
<v Speaker 2>Roberts earlier, Dave about Freddie Freeman and the ankle. Is

300
00:14:59.399 --> 00:15:02.480
<v Speaker 2>there any con maybe he's coming back too soon on

301
00:15:02.600 --> 00:15:03.360
<v Speaker 2>that ankle right now?

302
00:15:04.600 --> 00:15:07.240
<v Speaker 4>Well, I feel like that's been the case since spring

303
00:15:07.360 --> 00:15:10.360
<v Speaker 4>training started. Most guys would have, you know, taken it

304
00:15:10.639 --> 00:15:14.559
<v Speaker 4>a lot more cautiously than Freddie. But Freddie obviously cares

305
00:15:14.639 --> 00:15:17.320
<v Speaker 4>so much about being in the starting lineup every single

306
00:15:17.440 --> 00:15:20.600
<v Speaker 4>day and that's a big source of pride for him.

307
00:15:20.759 --> 00:15:23.159
<v Speaker 4>And that's a big deal for a player, right. You

308
00:15:23.279 --> 00:15:25.879
<v Speaker 4>got to be a guy that you can be dependable,

309
00:15:26.120 --> 00:15:28.000
<v Speaker 4>and that's part of it. If you're a really great

310
00:15:28.039 --> 00:15:31.039
<v Speaker 4>player and you're not dependable, you're not that great. But

311
00:15:31.960 --> 00:15:34.679
<v Speaker 4>since he did slip in the shower, Dave Roberts said,

312
00:15:34.720 --> 00:15:37.679
<v Speaker 4>the silver lining and blessing in disguise is that they

313
00:15:37.799 --> 00:15:40.200
<v Speaker 4>have been able to put him on the ten day

314
00:15:40.279 --> 00:15:44.919
<v Speaker 4>IL and be able to figure it out from there. Hey,

315
00:15:45.039 --> 00:15:47.639
<v Speaker 4>Eric Carrolls just stepped into the booth here. He doesn't

316
00:15:47.639 --> 00:15:49.639
<v Speaker 4>know we're on Instagram Live. I could have showed his

317
00:15:49.759 --> 00:15:53.080
<v Speaker 4>Irish screen tie. But yeah, you know, Freddie, it's going

318
00:15:53.159 --> 00:15:55.960
<v Speaker 4>to have to be the Dodgers really in control of this,

319
00:15:56.159 --> 00:15:58.759
<v Speaker 4>because if it's up to Freddie, he's going to say

320
00:15:58.840 --> 00:16:01.399
<v Speaker 4>every single day I could. The Dodgers are going to

321
00:16:01.480 --> 00:16:04.279
<v Speaker 4>have to make that decision themselves.

322
00:16:05.360 --> 00:16:08.320
<v Speaker 2>Dave Keyky Hernandez, He's played a great first base in

323
00:16:08.440 --> 00:16:11.759
<v Speaker 2>Freddy's absence. At the plate, though he struggled. He's got

324
00:16:11.840 --> 00:16:14.159
<v Speaker 2>four hits and all four from home runs.

325
00:16:15.200 --> 00:16:15.399
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

326
00:16:15.840 --> 00:16:18.639
<v Speaker 4>Uh, that's never happened in Dodger history. By the way,

327
00:16:19.240 --> 00:16:22.320
<v Speaker 4>a player having his first four hits as home runs,

328
00:16:22.799 --> 00:16:25.919
<v Speaker 4>and Anthony Volpi of the Yankees actually did the same

329
00:16:26.000 --> 00:16:29.519
<v Speaker 4>thing his first four hits were home runs. So maybe

330
00:16:29.600 --> 00:16:32.559
<v Speaker 4>it's a sign of the times because we all know

331
00:16:32.720 --> 00:16:35.440
<v Speaker 4>guys are looking for the slug. But Key K told

332
00:16:35.519 --> 00:16:39.720
<v Speaker 4>me in Philadelphia he's got to relax more at first base.

333
00:16:40.120 --> 00:16:43.480
<v Speaker 4>Because he's letting his mind being occupied with playing that

334
00:16:43.600 --> 00:16:45.799
<v Speaker 4>position affect him at the plate.

335
00:16:46.639 --> 00:16:48.360

<v Speaker 1>Magical Moment. Bitch Magical presented by Hawfey Hot Dogs.

353
00:17:53.160 --> 00:17:55.720
<v Speaker 2>We go back to twenty sixteen Dodgers and Nationals in

354
00:17:55.799 --> 00:17:58.480
<v Speaker 2>the NLDS. After splitting the first two games in DC,

355
00:17:58.799 --> 00:18:00.480
<v Speaker 2>the two teams would split the next two games at

356
00:18:00.519 --> 00:18:03.960
<v Speaker 2>Dodger Stadium, setting up a game five of the NLDS

357
00:18:04.039 --> 00:18:08.640
<v Speaker 2>at Nationals Park October thirteenth, twenty sixteen. Dodgers fell behind

358
00:18:08.720 --> 00:18:11.000
<v Speaker 2>one and nothing as Max Scherzer held them scoreless for

359
00:18:11.039 --> 00:18:13.680
<v Speaker 2>six innings. Finally, in the seventh, the Dodgers erupted for

360
00:18:13.880 --> 00:18:18.000
<v Speaker 2>four runs, highlighted by Justin Turner's two run triple. Dodgers

361
00:18:18.079 --> 00:18:20.440
<v Speaker 2>led four to three. Kenley Jansen got the final out

362
00:18:20.440 --> 00:18:22.279
<v Speaker 2>of the eighth, went back out and the ninth got

363
00:18:22.319 --> 00:18:24.200
<v Speaker 2>the first out of the inning. He had a career

364
00:18:24.279 --> 00:18:26.680
<v Speaker 2>high fifty one pitches and was running out of Gasso.

365
00:18:27.039 --> 00:18:30.400
<v Speaker 2>A rare relief appearance for Clayton Kershaw.

366
00:18:30.599 --> 00:18:34.440
<v Speaker 3>Kershaw for the save. Two on and two out. This

367
00:18:34.640 --> 00:18:36.599
<v Speaker 3>is a game that's going to be remembered for a

368
00:18:36.920 --> 00:18:41.400
<v Speaker 3>very long time. The pitch to DFO swung.

369
00:18:41.160 --> 00:18:42.359
<v Speaker 4>On and miss strike three.

370
00:18:42.680 --> 00:18:45.240
<v Speaker 2>Drop by Ruiz throws to first.

371
00:18:45.319 --> 00:18:49.279
<v Speaker 4>And the Dodgers are going to Chicago as Clayton Kershaw,

372
00:18:49.680 --> 00:18:54.000
<v Speaker 4>in his first relief appearance in seven years, records to save.

373
00:18:54.400 --> 00:18:56.359
<v Speaker 2>The Dodgers come from behind.

374
00:18:56.079 --> 00:18:59.079
<v Speaker 3>And beat the Nationals four to three to win the

375
00:18:59.200 --> 00:19:02.559
<v Speaker 3>National League of Vision series three games.

376
00:19:02.240 --> 00:19:05.559

377
00:19:05.559 --> 00:19:08.160
<v Speaker 2>and ten pitches in Game four, Clayton Kershaw closes it

378
00:19:08.240 --> 00:19:11.920
<v Speaker 2>out and the Dodgers advance to the twenty sixteen and LCS.

414
00:21:01.880 --> 00:21:02.599
<v Speaker 1>Rick Monday.

415
00:21:02.960 --> 00:21:05.880
<v Speaker 4>Rick, it's a beautiful day for a ball game. Everybody's

416
00:21:05.880 --> 00:21:09.480
<v Speaker 4>a lot happier. It's with the sun out considering how

417
00:21:09.599 --> 00:21:10.759
<v Speaker 4>cold it was last night.

418
00:21:11.000 --> 00:21:14.119
<v Speaker 5>It was cold, so were the bats. Yeah, and they

419
00:21:14.200 --> 00:21:16.759
<v Speaker 5>need to warm nose up and get some things taken

420
00:21:16.799 --> 00:21:18.599
<v Speaker 5>care of. This has not been a good trip any

421
00:21:18.640 --> 00:21:21.680
<v Speaker 5>stretch of imagination one and four. And for the Dodgers,

422
00:21:21.759 --> 00:21:23.799
<v Speaker 5>you look at the standings and it just doesn't seem right.

423
00:21:24.039 --> 00:21:27.359
<v Speaker 5>Pondres are leading the West, Dodgers percentage points behind the Giants.

424
00:21:27.920 --> 00:21:30.400
<v Speaker 5>And then if you look around baseball, how many people

425
00:21:30.440 --> 00:21:32.680
<v Speaker 5>gave a double take when they saw it's the Chicago

426
00:21:32.759 --> 00:21:34.200
<v Speaker 5>Cubs leading their Central Division.

427
00:21:34.400 --> 00:21:36.640
<v Speaker 4>Only thirteen games in, so a long way to go.

428
00:21:36.799 --> 00:21:38.960
<v Speaker 4>As you know, Rick, it's a marathon, not a sprint.

429
00:21:39.079 --> 00:21:41.519
<v Speaker 5>Yeah it is. And you know the tortoise and the hair.

430
00:21:41.559 --> 00:21:43.720
<v Speaker 5>We'll find out what kind of happens and in which

431
00:21:43.799 --> 00:21:44.400
<v Speaker 5>team is which.

432
00:21:44.839 --> 00:21:47.200
<v Speaker 4>Dave Roberts brought up a great point on the last

433
00:21:47.240 --> 00:21:50.960
<v Speaker 4>homestand the Dodgers faced the raining Cy Young winners in

434
00:21:51.079 --> 00:21:54.279
<v Speaker 4>Chris Sale and Trek Schoubel. In those games they did

435
00:21:54.400 --> 00:21:57.319
<v Speaker 4>not strike out fifteen times, but last night they did.

436
00:21:57.759 --> 00:21:59.519
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, and it's not the first time they had high

437
00:21:59.519 --> 00:22:01.160
<v Speaker 5>strikeout rate. So if you look at a couple of

438
00:22:01.200 --> 00:22:05.119
<v Speaker 5>games on this road trip, they also walked too many batters,

439
00:22:05.480 --> 00:22:09.319
<v Speaker 5>so you go cross reference on different things. Here's the

440
00:22:09.400 --> 00:22:12.079
<v Speaker 5>other numbers too, And I mentioned this last night. On

441
00:22:12.279 --> 00:22:15.200
<v Speaker 5>this road trip, the Dodgers are four for twenty two

442
00:22:15.319 --> 00:22:18.319
<v Speaker 5>with runners in scoring position. They rode for seven last night, okay,

443
00:22:18.359 --> 00:22:21.240
<v Speaker 5>but twenty two at bats right on this road trip,

444
00:22:21.319 --> 00:22:26.279
<v Speaker 5>depposing teams have had forty opportunities with runners in scoring position.

445
00:22:26.599 --> 00:22:28.359
<v Speaker 5>That's lopsided. That's got to change.

446
00:22:28.559 --> 00:22:30.880
<v Speaker 4>Do you believe part of the symptom of that is

447
00:22:31.039 --> 00:22:33.519
<v Speaker 4>the bottom of the Dodgers' order, The eight to nine

448
00:22:33.559 --> 00:22:36.200
<v Speaker 4>hitters have not been getting on base and let alone

449
00:22:36.640 --> 00:22:39.319
<v Speaker 4>getting that lineup flipped for those big guys.

450
00:22:39.400 --> 00:22:39.559
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

451
00:22:39.839 --> 00:22:42.119
<v Speaker 5>I agree. And it's a wonderful point that you bring up,

452
00:22:42.160 --> 00:22:44.400
<v Speaker 5>because we talked so many times in the importance of

453
00:22:44.680 --> 00:22:46.759
<v Speaker 5>having the bottom part of the lineup. Andy Poont has

454
00:22:46.759 --> 00:22:50.160
<v Speaker 5>at home run there was only three hints, has had

455
00:22:50.200 --> 00:22:52.160
<v Speaker 5>two of those. If you look at seven eight nine

456
00:22:52.359 --> 00:22:56.240
<v Speaker 5>in the lineup yesterday that was Monthly Pies and then

457
00:22:56.680 --> 00:23:00.559
<v Speaker 5>the Barns. But the first game of the series, if

458
00:23:00.599 --> 00:23:03.039
<v Speaker 5>you look at seven eight nine, only one base hit

459
00:23:03.599 --> 00:23:06.319
<v Speaker 5>and that has been kind of the story. So the

460
00:23:06.480 --> 00:23:09.519
<v Speaker 5>table has not really been set on a consistent basis

461
00:23:10.000 --> 00:23:13.000
<v Speaker 5>to where you turn the lineup around and to your point,

462
00:23:13.400 --> 00:23:18.359
<v Speaker 5>then you have Otani, Betts and Edmund coming on and

463
00:23:18.480 --> 00:23:21.160
<v Speaker 5>then Tiascar Hernandez and there would be a new wrinkle

464
00:23:21.279 --> 00:23:24.359
<v Speaker 5>back in the lineup Friday, as we understand from Dave Roberts,

465
00:23:24.400 --> 00:23:24.960
<v Speaker 5>you got to work.

466
00:23:25.119 --> 00:23:27.640
<v Speaker 4>That's right, Freddie Freeman will be back in the starting

467
00:23:27.680 --> 00:23:30.680
<v Speaker 4>lineup on Friday, and I feel like we don't really

468
00:23:30.759 --> 00:23:33.480
<v Speaker 4>appreciate the fact that if he's in the starting lineup,

469
00:23:33.799 --> 00:23:36.440
<v Speaker 4>you know, keyk Hernandez is coming off the bench and

470
00:23:36.519 --> 00:23:38.079
<v Speaker 4>you're not going to have as many strikeouts.

471
00:23:38.200 --> 00:23:40.039
<v Speaker 5>Yep, I got something for you. You remember me telling

472
00:23:40.079 --> 00:23:42.880
<v Speaker 5>you the story about Joe Demagio, And if we listen

473
00:23:43.000 --> 00:23:47.039
<v Speaker 5>to that song where have You Gone, Missus Robinson by

474
00:23:47.119 --> 00:23:50.680
<v Speaker 5>Paul Simon that came out in the nineteen seventy I

475
00:23:50.799 --> 00:23:52.680
<v Speaker 5>told you the story is that Demagio is a coach

476
00:23:52.759 --> 00:23:56.119
<v Speaker 5>with the A's. I heard it driving in to the stadium.

477
00:23:56.799 --> 00:23:59.000
<v Speaker 5>That song where it says, you know, where have you gone?

478
00:23:59.119 --> 00:24:02.480
<v Speaker 5>Joe Demagio, Nation turns its lonely eyes to you. Woo

479
00:24:02.519 --> 00:24:05.440
<v Speaker 5>woo wooh. That's how it goes, Hey, hey, and yeah.

480
00:24:05.559 --> 00:24:07.480
<v Speaker 5>And I asked Joe about it and he goes, what

481
00:24:07.559 --> 00:24:07.880
<v Speaker 5>do you mean?

482
00:24:07.960 --> 00:24:08.359
<v Speaker 2>What do you mean?

483
00:24:08.519 --> 00:24:10.599
<v Speaker 5>He went panic mode. He said, can you get me

484
00:24:10.680 --> 00:24:12.839
<v Speaker 5>a copy of that record? So I went out and

485
00:24:13.079 --> 00:24:15.160
<v Speaker 5>we got a forty five. You know old times there

486
00:24:15.240 --> 00:24:17.720
<v Speaker 5>was a record, Well it was on this date in

487
00:24:17.799 --> 00:24:20.920
<v Speaker 5>nineteen seventy. Also, do you remember the Dick Cavitt Show

488
00:24:20.960 --> 00:24:21.640
<v Speaker 5>on television.

489
00:24:22.039 --> 00:24:23.240
<v Speaker 4>I do not, but I know about it.

490
00:24:23.319 --> 00:24:25.559
<v Speaker 5>Okay, Well you know about it, and those that don't

491
00:24:25.680 --> 00:24:27.599
<v Speaker 5>understand you can research it. He had a big, big

492
00:24:27.680 --> 00:24:30.920
<v Speaker 5>show interview show and he had Mickey Mantle on on

493
00:24:31.079 --> 00:24:33.640
<v Speaker 5>the show, and Paul Simon was also on that show,

494
00:24:34.160 --> 00:24:38.680
<v Speaker 5>and Paul Simon evidently Mickey asked something about hey, Joe Demagio,

495
00:24:38.720 --> 00:24:41.000
<v Speaker 5>where have you gone? Because Joe says, look, I haven't

496
00:24:41.000 --> 00:24:45.359
<v Speaker 5>gone anywhere. Well it was Paul Simon that says, look, Mickey,

497
00:24:45.920 --> 00:24:49.519
<v Speaker 5>it's about syllables. He goes, it's about how many beats

498
00:24:49.559 --> 00:24:52.079
<v Speaker 5>that there are he goes, look where have you gone?

499
00:24:52.160 --> 00:24:55.400
<v Speaker 5>Joe Demajia, and Nation turns his lonely eyes to you says,

500
00:24:55.440 --> 00:24:57.640
<v Speaker 5>we could not put in there, where have you gone?

501
00:24:57.720 --> 00:25:01.680
<v Speaker 5>Mickey Mantle? It just did not fit from a syllable standpoint,

502
00:25:01.720 --> 00:25:02.119
<v Speaker 5>and that's.

503
00:25:01.960 --> 00:25:02.880
<v Speaker 2>How the song was written.

504
00:25:03.000 --> 00:25:05.559
<v Speaker 4>Hey never knew that, Ray, You never know whoa whoa

505
00:25:05.599 --> 00:25:08.319
<v Speaker 4>whoa Two great center fielders. Thanks Rick, we'll check in

<v Speaker 1>from a Dodger player.

538
00:26:43.000 --> 00:26:44.200
<v Speaker 2>It's an engagement of endearment.

539
00:26:44.319 --> 00:26:47.920
<v Speaker 4>This is high and tight, all right, Tim, I am

540

541
00:26:51.039 --> 00:26:53.400

542
00:26:53.519 --> 00:26:56.440
<v Speaker 4>Dodger clubhouse. He is going to make me even more

543
00:26:56.480 --> 00:26:59.319
<v Speaker 4>of a mental midget during these next few minutes as

544
00:26:59.359 --> 00:27:01.839
<v Speaker 4>we get set for our first pitch in our nation's capital,

545
00:27:02.119 --> 00:27:05.640
<v Speaker 4>and that is Dodger rookie reliever Jack Dryer. Jack, thanks

546
00:27:05.680 --> 00:27:07.079
<v Speaker 4>a lot for the time, appreciated.

547
00:27:07.359 --> 00:27:08.440
<v Speaker 10>Thank you very much for having me.

548
00:27:08.799 --> 00:27:10.839
<v Speaker 4>What was Blake trying telling you in the food room.

549
00:27:11.559 --> 00:27:13.079
<v Speaker 2>We just had a little pep talk.

550
00:27:13.200 --> 00:27:15.359
<v Speaker 10>He wanted to make sure that I was aware of,

551
00:27:15.880 --> 00:27:17.599
<v Speaker 10>you know, what to expect in a talk like this,

552
00:27:17.759 --> 00:27:19.240
<v Speaker 10>But he had nothing but good things to say.

553
00:27:19.400 --> 00:27:21.200
<v Speaker 4>And Blake trying him By the way, the first two

554
00:27:21.319 --> 00:27:24.640
<v Speaker 4>days in DC very dressed up, but today he's back

555
00:27:24.680 --> 00:27:26.599
<v Speaker 4>to Blake tryning with that black tank top.

556
00:27:26.920 --> 00:27:28.920
<v Speaker 10>I think he must have gotten used to his old roots,

557
00:27:28.960 --> 00:27:30.960
<v Speaker 10>so maybe he's feeling a little bit more comfortable now.

558
00:27:31.240 --> 00:27:33.720
<v Speaker 4>Blake has kind of taken the role of what Daniel

559
00:27:33.799 --> 00:27:36.559
<v Speaker 4>Hudson did for the bullpen last year. How much of

560
00:27:36.640 --> 00:27:39.079
<v Speaker 4>a leader is Blake tryning for you guys.

561
00:27:39.480 --> 00:27:41.559
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, he's been great. Obviously, you know, one of the

562
00:27:41.640 --> 00:27:44.279
<v Speaker 10>veterans on the team, so he's done a great job

563
00:27:44.359 --> 00:27:46.160
<v Speaker 10>of taking me and the other young guys under his

564
00:27:46.279 --> 00:27:48.559
<v Speaker 10>wing and kind of showing us the ropes, telling us

565
00:27:48.559 --> 00:27:50.599
<v Speaker 10>what to expect. But it's not just him, you know,

566
00:27:50.680 --> 00:27:53.039
<v Speaker 10>we have an entire bullpen of good guys like that.

567
00:27:53.240 --> 00:27:54.720
<v Speaker 10>So I'm just very thankful to be a part of

568
00:27:54.759 --> 00:27:55.039
<v Speaker 10>the group.

569
00:27:55.200 --> 00:27:57.839
<v Speaker 4>How do you get prepared for your groupings of hitters,

570
00:27:57.920 --> 00:28:01.400
<v Speaker 4>because we've heard since Dave Robert's and Andrew Freeman took over,

571
00:28:01.480 --> 00:28:05.200
<v Speaker 4>it's not so much about innings, it's about groupings of hitters.

572
00:28:05.759 --> 00:28:05.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

573
00:28:06.599 --> 00:28:08.400
<v Speaker 10>I think one thing that the Dodgers do really well

574
00:28:08.519 --> 00:28:11.960
<v Speaker 10>is have excellent communication. So going into games or series,

575
00:28:12.000 --> 00:28:14.440
<v Speaker 10>we know where our lanes might be. But at the

576
00:28:14.519 --> 00:28:15.720
<v Speaker 10>end of the day, our job is to go out

577
00:28:15.759 --> 00:28:17.839
<v Speaker 10>there and just you know, do our job get outs,

578
00:28:17.960 --> 00:28:19.680
<v Speaker 10>help the team have a chance to win. And so

579
00:28:20.400 --> 00:28:22.319
<v Speaker 10>I think over all the bullpen has done an excellent

580
00:28:22.359 --> 00:28:23.039
<v Speaker 10>job of that so far.

581
00:28:23.319 --> 00:28:25.920
<v Speaker 4>How much does it feed off itself when you come

582
00:28:26.000 --> 00:28:28.799
<v Speaker 4>in and you're facing a high leverage part of the order,

583
00:28:28.920 --> 00:28:32.039
<v Speaker 4>like in Philadelphia striking out Bryce Sharper, facing that part

584
00:28:32.200 --> 00:28:35.799
<v Speaker 4>of their lineup and succeeding, how much does that feed

585
00:28:35.880 --> 00:28:38.000
<v Speaker 4>off itself as far as confidence goes?

586
00:28:38.519 --> 00:28:41.279
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, I mean, you know, obviously, if you afterwards, if

587
00:28:41.279 --> 00:28:43.519
<v Speaker 10>you go back and look at it, it's a cool moment,

588
00:28:43.640 --> 00:28:46.400
<v Speaker 10>and you know, it's fun to think about. But at

589
00:28:46.440 --> 00:28:48.200
<v Speaker 10>the end of the day, it doesn't matter who you're facing.

590
00:28:48.400 --> 00:28:49.799
<v Speaker 10>You know, our job is to go in there and

591
00:28:50.599 --> 00:28:53.640
<v Speaker 10>throw strikes and get outs, and so that's just all

592
00:28:53.680 --> 00:28:54.119
<v Speaker 10>I try to do.

593
00:28:54.440 --> 00:28:56.720
<v Speaker 4>It seems like you've been in the league for five years,

594
00:28:56.799 --> 00:28:59.200
<v Speaker 4>the way you're so composed on the mound. How have

595
00:28:59.279 --> 00:29:01.240
<v Speaker 4>you been able to keep your poise and not let

596
00:29:01.279 --> 00:29:02.400
<v Speaker 4>the game get too fast?

597
00:29:03.279 --> 00:29:05.599
<v Speaker 10>I think, you know, going back to even when I was,

598
00:29:05.640 --> 00:29:08.400
<v Speaker 10>you know, twelve years old, my dad would always tell me,

599
00:29:08.480 --> 00:29:10.599
<v Speaker 10>you know, somebody should be able to watch the game

600
00:29:10.640 --> 00:29:12.359
<v Speaker 10>and not know if you guys are winning or losing

601
00:29:12.440 --> 00:29:14.920
<v Speaker 10>based on your body language. And so I think that's

602
00:29:14.960 --> 00:29:17.119
<v Speaker 10>been a big part of how I try to, you know,

603
00:29:17.319 --> 00:29:20.359
<v Speaker 10>act on the mound. You know, just like you said,

604
00:29:20.480 --> 00:29:22.799
<v Speaker 10>keep my composure and do whatever it takes to let

605
00:29:22.839 --> 00:29:26.279
<v Speaker 10>the team win. And so, you know, antics can stay

606
00:29:26.319 --> 00:29:26.799
<v Speaker 10>out of the game.

607
00:29:27.240 --> 00:29:30.279
<v Speaker 4>Jack Dryer is our guest all business, except when it

608
00:29:30.319 --> 00:29:33.119
<v Speaker 4>comes to Rubik's cubes. How quickly can you solve a

609
00:29:33.200 --> 00:29:33.960
<v Speaker 4>Rubik's cube?

610
00:29:35.000 --> 00:29:36.960
<v Speaker 10>Back in the day when I was when I was

611
00:29:37.160 --> 00:29:39.799
<v Speaker 10>practicing every day, it was thirteen seconds was my best time.

612
00:29:39.880 --> 00:29:42.160
<v Speaker 10>But now I average about, you know, eighteen to twenty.

613
00:29:42.440 --> 00:29:45.359
<v Speaker 4>So it's like me running the mile. You've slowed down.

614
00:29:45.759 --> 00:29:48.319
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, over time, you'll you'll lose your touch eventually.

615
00:29:48.640 --> 00:29:51.079
<v Speaker 4>How many of your teammates and your bullpen mates know

616
00:29:51.200 --> 00:29:53.559
<v Speaker 4>this about you? And how many have tried to challenge

617
00:29:53.599 --> 00:29:54.160
<v Speaker 4>you so far?

618
00:29:54.880 --> 00:29:57.400
<v Speaker 10>I think it's pretty well known. You know, in spring training,

619
00:29:57.480 --> 00:29:58.920
<v Speaker 10>Dot called me up in front of the team and

620
00:29:59.440 --> 00:30:04.200
<v Speaker 10>had petition between me and Tommy Edmund and so Stanford guy, Yeah,

621
00:30:04.279 --> 00:30:07.240
<v Speaker 10>Stanford guy, very very bright mind. So that was a

622
00:30:07.319 --> 00:30:10.440
<v Speaker 10>cool moment. But everybody is aware of it now. I

623
00:30:10.519 --> 00:30:12.519
<v Speaker 10>think guys just kind of avoid the topic.

624
00:30:12.920 --> 00:30:15.319
<v Speaker 4>So how did it end up between you and Tommy

625
00:30:15.440 --> 00:30:16.480
<v Speaker 4>Edmund in front of the team.

626
00:30:16.839 --> 00:30:18.559
<v Speaker 10>We gave him a bit of a head start and

627
00:30:18.680 --> 00:30:21.039
<v Speaker 10>I was able to I was able to close close

628
00:30:21.079 --> 00:30:22.960
<v Speaker 10>the gap, So it ended up in my favor.

629
00:30:23.160 --> 00:30:25.440
<v Speaker 4>Hey, speaking of all that, obviously, we know this game

630
00:30:25.599 --> 00:30:29.480
<v Speaker 4>is all some say ninety percent mental. What are the

631
00:30:29.559 --> 00:30:32.640
<v Speaker 4>mental exercises you go through to get ready to pitch?

632
00:30:33.240 --> 00:30:35.880
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, I think that's one thing that you know can

633
00:30:35.960 --> 00:30:38.640
<v Speaker 10>really separate guys. And I think that's why the Dodgers

634
00:30:38.680 --> 00:30:40.680
<v Speaker 10>do such a good job is because we have you know,

635
00:30:40.880 --> 00:30:44.160
<v Speaker 10>mental coaches and coaches who understand the mental side of baseball.

636
00:30:44.839 --> 00:30:47.200
<v Speaker 10>So it's all kinds of things, you know, like positive

637
00:30:47.240 --> 00:30:50.640
<v Speaker 10>self talk, reinforcement, visualization, all all that kind of stuff.

638
00:30:50.680 --> 00:30:53.240
<v Speaker 10>So we're really hitting, you know, every step on the way.

639
00:30:53.480 --> 00:30:56.039
<v Speaker 4>All right, Jack, thanks a lot for the time, appreciate it.

<v Speaker 2>neffert Rick Monday, guys, Tim.

695
00:33:35.480 --> 00:33:37.799
<v Speaker 3>Thanks again. We're getting you ready for the first pitch

696
00:33:37.920 --> 00:33:41.680
<v Speaker 3>this afternoon at Nationals Park. On a very very good

697
00:33:41.759 --> 00:33:44.480
<v Speaker 3>looking day. It's going to be very nice into the

698
00:33:44.559 --> 00:33:47.000
<v Speaker 3>evening here. No clouds in the sky. Temperature is a

699
00:33:47.039 --> 00:33:49.160
<v Speaker 3>bit on the cool side, but should be in the

700
00:33:49.200 --> 00:33:52.519
<v Speaker 3>low fifties around game time as the Dodgers and Nationals

701
00:33:52.559 --> 00:33:55.119
<v Speaker 3>play Game three of this three game set. Dodgers will

702
00:33:55.160 --> 00:33:58.480
<v Speaker 3>fly out immediately afterward, be back in Los Angeles late tonight,

703
00:33:59.039 --> 00:34:01.359
<v Speaker 3>a day off tomorrow, and then they'll start a homestand

704
00:34:01.440 --> 00:34:04.640
<v Speaker 3>beginning with the Chicago Cubs on Friday night. But first

705
00:34:04.720 --> 00:34:07.720
<v Speaker 3>things first, a chance to salvage a series here today.

706
00:34:08.199 --> 00:34:11.920
<v Speaker 3>Roster move made, Land and Knack activated. Justin Robluski, who

707
00:34:12.000 --> 00:34:14.880
<v Speaker 3>was the starter last night, was optioned back to Triple A.

708
00:34:15.119 --> 00:34:18.320
<v Speaker 3>Sonat gets the start. His last appearance was on the

709
00:34:18.400 --> 00:34:21.920
<v Speaker 3>third of April against the Olpaso Chihuahuas. The San Diego

710
00:34:22.000 --> 00:34:25.159
<v Speaker 3>Padres top farm club. Pitch pretty well got a no decision.

711
00:34:25.400 --> 00:34:27.079
<v Speaker 3>But now he's back in the big leagues and looking

712
00:34:27.119 --> 00:34:27.760
<v Speaker 3>for another win.

713
00:34:28.000 --> 00:34:30.800
<v Speaker 5>Needs to throw strikes and really be able to land

714
00:34:30.960 --> 00:34:32.920
<v Speaker 5>the breaking bowl. It's a good breaking ball. If he

715
00:34:33.000 --> 00:34:35.719
<v Speaker 5>gets the first bit, strikes, gets ahead early using that

716
00:34:35.800 --> 00:34:37.880
<v Speaker 5>breaking ball, mix it in, it's going to be really nice.

717
00:34:38.119 --> 00:34:41.719
<v Speaker 5>Twelve starts plus four relief appearances a season ago, plus

718
00:34:41.840 --> 00:34:43.800
<v Speaker 5>one save, his record was four and five. On the

719
00:34:43.840 --> 00:34:46.760
<v Speaker 5>flip side of the coin, Tim Dodgers figuring out Jake

720
00:34:46.800 --> 00:34:49.159
<v Speaker 5>Irv they had seen him in the past. And if

721
00:34:49.199 --> 00:34:51.159
<v Speaker 5>we look a couple of things. First of all, the

722
00:34:51.280 --> 00:34:55.039
<v Speaker 5>fast ball this year already limited sample size, no question

723
00:34:55.119 --> 00:34:57.400
<v Speaker 5>about that. His fastball has been hit at a six

724
00:34:57.519 --> 00:35:00.480
<v Speaker 5>hundred batting average against the other part Two, I mentioned

725
00:35:00.559 --> 00:35:04.000
<v Speaker 5>curveball with Nack, well with Irvin last year. First pitch

726
00:35:04.079 --> 00:35:07.800
<v Speaker 5>in particular, he threw curb bulls one out of every

727
00:35:07.920 --> 00:35:10.679
<v Speaker 5>three batters that came on first pitch to them.

728
00:35:11.000 --> 00:35:14.400
<v Speaker 3>Jake Irvin going for the Nationals landon Knack will pitch

729
00:35:14.480 --> 00:35:17.239
<v Speaker 3>for the Dodgers as the Dodgers look to win just

730
00:35:17.360 --> 00:35:20.960
<v Speaker 3>their second game on this six game two city road trip.

731
00:35:21.440 --> 00:35:23.719
<v Speaker 2>All right, thank you, guys. First pitch coming up, Dodgers

732
00:35:23.800 --> 00:35:25.559
<v Speaker 2>looking to have a happy flight at home, get a

733
00:35:25.679 --> 00:35:28.480
<v Speaker 2>win in the final game of this road trip. Afterwards,

734
00:35:28.519 --> 00:35:31.360
<v Speaker 2>I'll be back with all the postgame festivities, including reaction

735
00:35:31.519 --> 00:35:35.960
<v Speaker 2>from the clubhouse, highlights, and Dodger talk as well. That's

736
00:35:36.000 --> 00:35:39.000
<v Speaker 2>it for the pregame. First pitch coming up when we return.

737
00:35:39.199 --> 00:35:41.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm Tim Kakson. This is the world champion Los Angeles
