Last night at Busch Stadium, Justin Robleski got 39 00:01:56.359 --> 00:01:59.519 the start against Sonny Gray. Gray the eighth of the 40 00:01:59.560 --> 00:02:03.000 Cardinals pitching staff, and he was on full display last night. 41 00:02:03.439 --> 00:02:07.120 Six and a third shutout innings. He gave up eight hits, 42 00:02:07.560 --> 00:02:10.719 struck out five along the way. The Dodgers had traffic 43 00:02:10.759 --> 00:02:13.319 on the base pass, but just could not get that 44 00:02:13.400 --> 00:02:17.680 big hit. Meanwhile, Justin Robleski called up from TRIPAA Oklahoma City, 45 00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:21.080 and he gave the Dodgers good enough outing six innings, 46 00:02:21.080 --> 00:02:24.479 struck out five, did walk three. He gave up four 47 00:02:24.560 --> 00:02:29.000 runs on six hits. It started early for the Cardinals. 48 00:02:29.240 --> 00:02:32.639 Bottom of the second inning, Pedro Piez went deep. 49 00:02:33.439 --> 00:02:34.280 Here's pie hass. 50 00:02:34.319 --> 00:02:37.240 He swings and drills it deep to left field and 51 00:02:37.479 --> 00:02:38.759 way over the bullpen. 52 00:02:38.919 --> 00:02:39.599 Gone. 53 00:02:40.080 --> 00:02:42.719 He sat on our first pitch pass ball on the 54 00:02:42.759 --> 00:02:46.759 inner half, turned on it and hits his fifth home 55 00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:49.680 run of the season, and the Titinals jump out to 56 00:02:49.759 --> 00:02:50.759 a two to nothing lead. 57 00:02:51.319 --> 00:02:54.199 Pi has with the two run home run four hundred 58 00:02:54.280 --> 00:02:57.919 and twenty two feet to left field at Push Stadium. 59 00:02:57.919 --> 00:03:01.159 It was a two nothing Cardinals lead. A key moment 60 00:03:01.240 --> 00:03:04.560 came in the third show. Hey Otani in Moogie Betts 61 00:03:04.639 --> 00:03:07.800 each single to lead off the inning for the Dodgers. However, 62 00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:12.599 Suddy Gray struck out, Freddie Freeman struck out tay Oscar Hernandez, 63 00:03:12.800 --> 00:03:15.560 and then Max Munsey flew out to right to end 64 00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:18.240 the Dodgers threat. Again, the Dodgers, only down two to nothing, 65 00:03:18.439 --> 00:03:20.000 had a golden opportunity. 66 00:03:20.039 --> 00:03:22.599 Then in the third inning could not get the hit. 67 00:03:22.840 --> 00:03:26.719 In the fifth, the Cardinals would add to their lead 68 00:03:26.879 --> 00:03:28.159 thanks to Brendan Donovan. 69 00:03:28.639 --> 00:03:33.599 Listen Contrera's first baseman waits on deck by Hess off 70 00:03:33.639 --> 00:03:36.719 of third Newtbar off of second stretch by Robleski. His 71 00:03:36.840 --> 00:03:39.560 three to one is swing on. I lifted the center 72 00:03:39.599 --> 00:03:42.680 field of base. H Pi has comes in here comes 73 00:03:42.719 --> 00:03:46.080 to throw from pie Hiss in center. New Bar is safe. 74 00:03:46.120 --> 00:03:49.479 He just beat the throw. It's a two out, two 75 00:03:49.560 --> 00:03:54.120 runs single for Brandon Donovan and the Titdinals lead it. 76 00:03:54.360 --> 00:03:57.280 Forward to nothing and Rushing is shaking. 77 00:03:57.039 --> 00:03:57.879 Up on the planet. 78 00:03:58.840 --> 00:03:59.879 He would be okay. 79 00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:03.560 Randon Donland deliveris with the two out, two run single 80 00:04:03.639 --> 00:04:06.879 to center and the Cardinals doubled their lead, up four 81 00:04:07.080 --> 00:04:09.960 to nothing and the Dodgers down but not out. In 82 00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:14.919 the eighth, inneed, Dodgers had another opportunity. Mookie ben singled 83 00:04:15.280 --> 00:04:19.279 Freddie Friedman doubled nobody out, but the Dodgers failed to 84 00:04:19.360 --> 00:04:22.360 get a run across with runners on second and third 85 00:04:22.720 --> 00:04:25.959 and nobody out, down four to nothing. And then the eighth, 86 00:04:26.360 --> 00:04:30.079 Wilson Contrere's a solo home run. It was five to nothing. 87 00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:33.480 Cardinals Sonny Gray went into the seventh inning did not 88 00:04:33.560 --> 00:04:37.360 give up a run again. The Dodgers stranded nine base 89 00:04:37.439 --> 00:04:41.600 runners last night. As a team, the Dodgers won for 90 00:04:41.959 --> 00:04:47.480 thirteen with runners in scoring position against Sonny Gray and 91 00:04:47.519 --> 00:04:51.560 the Cardinals bullpen that combined nine strikeouts for the Dodgers, 92 00:04:51.639 --> 00:04:54.319 just no offense when they needed it. They out hit 93 00:04:54.399 --> 00:04:57.800 the Saint Louis Cardinals, but the Cardinals pick up the win, 94 00:04:58.319 --> 00:05:01.439 five to nothing shutout of the Dodgers. Sunny Gray now 95 00:05:01.480 --> 00:05:04.560 seven and one. Justin Robleski gets tagged with the loss. 96 00:05:04.839 --> 00:05:07.160 He falls to one and two. The Dodgers fall to 97 00:05:07.240 --> 00:05:09.759 thirty eight and twenty six and their lead in the 98 00:05:09.800 --> 00:05:13.360 division has shrunk to just one game in the NL 99 00:05:13.439 --> 00:05:16.399 West over the Padres, but they look to get back 100 00:05:16.399 --> 00:05:19.360 at it this afternoon. Rain is in the forecast at 101 00:05:19.360 --> 00:05:23.279 Bush Stadium, Yoshinobu Yamamoto on the mound. First pitch set 102 00:05:23.319 --> 00:05:25.519 for eleven to fifteen, and with more. We head out 103 00:05:25.560 --> 00:05:28.519 to the Gallpin Motors broadcast booth as we say. 104 00:05:28.399 --> 00:05:30.639 Good morning to Tim Neverett and Rick Monday. 105 00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:32.680 Guys, Tim, thanks very much. 106 00:05:32.800 --> 00:05:35.000 Dodgers and Cardinals getting set for game two of the 107 00:05:35.199 --> 00:05:39.040 three games series. Cardinals come in four games in back 108 00:05:39.079 --> 00:05:42.480 of the Cubs in the National League Central Division thirty 109 00:05:42.480 --> 00:05:45.959 five and twenty eight. The Dodgers just one game in 110 00:05:45.959 --> 00:05:48.519 front of San Diego, two in front of San Francisco 111 00:05:48.720 --> 00:05:52.600 thirty eight and twenty six, but fifteen and fifteen on 112 00:05:52.639 --> 00:05:55.399 the road this year, and that's something that the Dodgers 113 00:05:55.439 --> 00:05:58.879 are hoping to change. Here today, Goshanobo Yamamoto on the 114 00:05:58.920 --> 00:06:01.480 mound six and four and a really good ERA of 115 00:06:01.519 --> 00:06:04.000 two thirty nine in backt His ERA is third in 116 00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:06.680 the National League. Eric Fetti gets to start. The right 117 00:06:06.680 --> 00:06:09.160 hander three and five in a three eight to two 118 00:06:09.360 --> 00:06:11.680 earn run average. He was part of that three team 119 00:06:11.800 --> 00:06:15.759 trade last year that sent Tommy Edmund to the Dodgers, 120 00:06:15.800 --> 00:06:20.600 also Michael Kopek. But today, speaking of Michael Kopek, he 121 00:06:20.800 --> 00:06:23.920 and Kirby Yates have been activated off the injured list. 122 00:06:23.920 --> 00:06:26.360 They will be in the Dodger bullpen ready to go. 123 00:06:26.519 --> 00:06:29.759 The corresponding moves, one of them, Chris Stratton, who pitched 124 00:06:29.759 --> 00:06:33.920 in last night's game, designated for assignment and Tony Gonsolin, 125 00:06:34.399 --> 00:06:37.079 who is scheduled to start Game two of the Podre 126 00:06:37.279 --> 00:06:41.040 series this week, has gone on the injured list, and 127 00:06:41.160 --> 00:06:44.040 that is another blow to the Dodgers starting rotation. 128 00:06:44.199 --> 00:06:46.920 It is and it looks like a mash unit as 129 00:06:46.959 --> 00:06:49.439 far as the pitching staff goes with all the guys 130 00:06:49.439 --> 00:06:52.800 that have been injured. No particular update on Gonsolin on 131 00:06:52.800 --> 00:06:55.399 what the ailment is, but they have to move forward, 132 00:06:55.480 --> 00:06:57.800 and for the Dodgers from an offensive standpoint, need to 133 00:06:57.839 --> 00:07:00.279 move forward. Even though they out hit the Cardinals last 134 00:07:00.360 --> 00:07:02.800 night ten hits to seven, get shut out for the 135 00:07:02.800 --> 00:07:05.040 fourth time of the season. The under part two that 136 00:07:05.160 --> 00:07:08.319 was really a kind of a carryover to that series 137 00:07:08.360 --> 00:07:11.040 against the Mets before the Dodgers embarked on this road trip, 138 00:07:11.560 --> 00:07:14.399 not getting the leadoff man aboard. In fact, only two 139 00:07:14.480 --> 00:07:17.360 winnings last night the Dodgers got the leadoff hit earth 140 00:07:17.439 --> 00:07:20.639 getting on base. They were also just one for thirteen 141 00:07:21.079 --> 00:07:23.439 with runners in scoring position. How many times he get 142 00:07:23.439 --> 00:07:26.079 shut out in the ballgame? I had team the Cardinals 143 00:07:26.079 --> 00:07:28.600 that were just one for four with runners in scoring 144 00:07:28.639 --> 00:07:29.560 position last night. 145 00:07:29.720 --> 00:07:30.959 We just didn't get the key hit. 146 00:07:31.000 --> 00:07:33.879 In fact, it was the first time that the Dodgers 147 00:07:33.920 --> 00:07:36.639 had recorded ten hits or more in a game while 148 00:07:36.680 --> 00:07:39.720 getting shut out since the eighteenth of June twenty eleven 149 00:07:39.759 --> 00:07:42.199 against the Astros, when they lost seven to nothing. So 150 00:07:42.839 --> 00:07:45.079 that was an outlier last night to get that many 151 00:07:45.120 --> 00:07:47.680 hits and not come up with a run. And again 152 00:07:47.720 --> 00:07:51.360 they had chance after chance after chance. The Dodgers are 153 00:07:51.399 --> 00:07:53.800 the top team in Major League Baseball in terms of 154 00:07:53.839 --> 00:07:55.879 hitting with runners in scoring position, and they've got the 155 00:07:55.920 --> 00:07:58.639 top player in Will Smith, but he wasn't in the 156 00:07:58.680 --> 00:07:59.399 lineup last night. 157 00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:02.360 Dog just need to put some distance between themselves and 158 00:08:02.399 --> 00:08:04.680 the Sandego and Andres and the San Francisco Giants. I 159 00:08:04.759 --> 00:08:06.959 still think that the Giants really may be the surprise 160 00:08:07.759 --> 00:08:10.360 in the nationally, certainly in the Western Division, no question. 161 00:08:10.720 --> 00:08:13.800 Pandreas start just to gain back. The Giants are two back. 162 00:08:14.000 --> 00:08:17.639 Also noticed something about both the Dodgers and the Saint 163 00:08:17.680 --> 00:08:21.120 Louis Cardinals in their respective divisions. You know, the Western 164 00:08:21.120 --> 00:08:23.319 Division there's only one team has a winning record on 165 00:08:23.360 --> 00:08:27.079 the road, that's the Arizona Diamondbacks. And in the Central 166 00:08:27.120 --> 00:08:29.720 Division there's only one team with the winning record on 167 00:08:29.720 --> 00:08:33.000 the road, that's the Chicago Cubs. They're nineteen and thirteen. 168 00:08:33.039 --> 00:08:35.480 Everybody else in the Central, everybody else in the West, 169 00:08:36.120 --> 00:08:38.559 they're below that five hundred mark. And by the way, 170 00:08:38.639 --> 00:08:42.200 the Dodgers still have two here and then against San Diego, 171 00:08:42.320 --> 00:08:44.840 and I would imagine the p Andreas are chomping at 172 00:08:44.879 --> 00:08:47.039 the bit a chance to really close the gap if 173 00:08:47.039 --> 00:08:48.799 they can against the Dodgers. 174 00:08:49.080 --> 00:08:52.120 Pesan Kim in the lineup today for the Dodgers, batting 175 00:08:52.240 --> 00:08:57.240 ninth and playing center field, Tommy Edmond at second base. Defensively, 176 00:08:57.759 --> 00:09:00.879 Edmund is a better defensive center fielder than Kim. Kim's 177 00:09:00.879 --> 00:09:03.360 still learning the position here at the major league level, 178 00:09:03.879 --> 00:09:07.679 But when David Vasse asked Dave Roberts about that earlier today, 179 00:09:07.759 --> 00:09:11.000 he said, it's still the ankle that is bothering Tommy Edmund, 180 00:09:11.039 --> 00:09:13.759 and after talking to Edmund, he'd prefer to stay at 181 00:09:13.799 --> 00:09:14.399 second base. 182 00:09:14.559 --> 00:09:17.120 Yeah, it's a little strange to think, well, okay, it's 183 00:09:17.159 --> 00:09:19.519 second base. You have to cut back and forth to 184 00:09:19.559 --> 00:09:21.840 the left and to the right. Maybe in also back, 185 00:09:22.200 --> 00:09:24.480 but in center field there's a lot more running and 186 00:09:24.600 --> 00:09:28.000 nothing else just in between the half innings to and from. 187 00:09:28.039 --> 00:09:30.919 So for Edmund, who had a standing ovation as he 188 00:09:31.279 --> 00:09:33.840 made his first at bat returning to Saint Louis in 189 00:09:33.960 --> 00:09:36.240 last night's ball game, he has been a fan favorite 190 00:09:36.240 --> 00:09:38.440 here for a lot of good reasons. And for Edmund, 191 00:09:38.440 --> 00:09:40.879 batting in the eighth spot, playing as you're saying, at 192 00:09:40.919 --> 00:09:43.240 second base, and hayes On Kim is going to be 193 00:09:43.320 --> 00:09:45.080 in center field bat in the ninth spot. But the 194 00:09:45.080 --> 00:09:48.120 Dodgers just need to generate more offense in today's game. 195 00:09:48.320 --> 00:09:50.879 The weather will continue to be part of the story today. 196 00:09:50.919 --> 00:09:53.360 We are told it will be an on time start 197 00:09:53.399 --> 00:09:55.759 at one point fifteen.

Thanks for being 217 00:10:47.960 --> 00:10:50.720 with us. I'm Tim Kasey's world champion Los Angeles Dodgers 218 00:10:50.919 --> 00:10:51.600 audio nowhere. 219 00:10:54.279 --> 00:11:00.240 This is Morongo Casino Dodgers game on your home eight 220 00:11:00.360 --> 00:11:02.039 Dodgers Baseball. 221 00:11:02.360 --> 00:11:05.039 Dodgers and Cardinals, Game two of this three game set. 222 00:11:05.159 --> 00:11:08.440 Weather again expected to be a factor today, but schedule 223 00:11:08.480 --> 00:11:11.840 for an on time first pitch. Yoshinobu, I'm a modal 224 00:11:12.000 --> 00:11:15.679 Eric Fetti. The pitching matchup first pitch set for eleven fifteen. 225 00:11:16.399 --> 00:11:18.960 This is the Otani. 226 00:11:18.519 --> 00:11:21.679 Rewhy and a one to two on the way and 227 00:11:21.799 --> 00:11:23.919 shoe rips it in the right field. That's a bass 228 00:11:24.000 --> 00:11:26.720 hit Dono. In the second, basemen made a diving attempt, 229 00:11:26.879 --> 00:11:29.720 but it was out of his reach, and Otani with 230 00:11:29.759 --> 00:11:31.120 a leadoff single in the third. 231 00:11:31.360 --> 00:11:33.399 I mean kindom had had no chance at all to 232 00:11:33.480 --> 00:11:38.240 field that ball, so scratched that one eleven average with 233 00:11:38.360 --> 00:11:40.480 two strikes. So Tani says that's enough of that. 234 00:11:41.039 --> 00:11:41.120 Now. 235 00:11:41.200 --> 00:11:43.480 The Cardinal catcher pot Hesse hit the home run one 236 00:11:43.559 --> 00:11:46.840 hundred and ten miles per hour. Ut he absolutely crushed it. 237 00:11:47.559 --> 00:11:50.519 Otani hit that one to right field for a base 238 00:11:50.600 --> 00:11:52.720 hit over one hundred and thirteen. 239 00:11:53.399 --> 00:11:56.960 Showy Otani could hit it hard. Unfortunately, the Dodgers couldn't 240 00:11:56.960 --> 00:11:59.679 get the hit when they needed it. The Dodgers lose 241 00:11:59.759 --> 00:12:02.879 last night five to nothing. They were one for thirteen 242 00:12:03.080 --> 00:12:06.720 with runners in scoring position, left nine runners on bays. 243 00:12:06.720 --> 00:12:08.679 Show Hey o Tani won for four in the night. 244 00:12:08.879 --> 00:12:10.600 Now abouting two ninety four on the season. 245 00:12:11.039 --> 00:12:14.879 This is Kirston's Corner with Kirston Watson. 246 00:12:15.639 --> 00:12:18.000 Hey Garrison now joins us from Saint Louis. Brought to 247 00:12:18.080 --> 00:12:20.360 by Cars for a Kids. Ready to donate that old car? 248 00:12:20.440 --> 00:12:22.480 How about calling eight seven to seven Cars for Kids 249 00:12:22.559 --> 00:12:25.519 right now, friendly agents standing by to take your donations. 250 00:12:25.559 --> 00:12:29.080 That's Cars with the K to donate your car today. 251 00:12:29.519 --> 00:12:33.440 Yesterday a one hour and seventeen minute rain delay before 252 00:12:33.480 --> 00:12:38.120 first pitch was even thrown. What's happening today, Keirston? Because 253 00:12:38.120 --> 00:12:40.000 I know weather's gonna be a factor. 254 00:12:40.960 --> 00:12:43.039 Yeah, Weather's definitely gonna be a factor. I mean even 255 00:12:43.039 --> 00:12:45.519 the tarp is already on the field. So of course, 256 00:12:45.600 --> 00:12:49.519 you know, early work defense, honestly batting practices because it 257 00:12:49.519 --> 00:12:51.799 is an early game, so that has been interrupted. The 258 00:12:51.840 --> 00:12:54.320 Dodgers had to cancel their defensive work on the field. 259 00:12:54.639 --> 00:12:57.200 So weather is going to play a factor of course 260 00:12:57.200 --> 00:12:57.679 in this one. 261 00:12:57.679 --> 00:12:58.679 But Dave Roberts and. 262 00:12:58.639 --> 00:13:01.799 The Dodgers, they feel good that for Yoshinob Yamamoto, of 263 00:13:01.799 --> 00:13:04.159 course the ace of this team, they feel good that 264 00:13:04.240 --> 00:13:07.840 his start shouldn't be interrupted. So it does sound like, 265 00:13:08.360 --> 00:13:10.840 I mean, we will see, but the conversations thus far 266 00:13:10.919 --> 00:13:13.320 is that we should be having an on time start. 267 00:13:14.039 --> 00:13:16.279 They feel good about starting with him and running him 268 00:13:16.279 --> 00:13:18.399 out there. Dave Roberts was saying that they are being 269 00:13:18.399 --> 00:13:21.320 communicated that it's going to be pockets of rain and 270 00:13:21.320 --> 00:13:23.960 it shouldn't be too heavy to then stop the game. 271 00:13:24.120 --> 00:13:26.919 So hopefully once we get started, we can keep going. 272 00:13:27.000 --> 00:13:29.759 But yeah, they feel good about him, and the bullpen 273 00:13:29.879 --> 00:13:32.440 is going to be stalks behind them. It's getting some reinforcements, 274 00:13:32.519 --> 00:13:34.960 So yeah, we'll see how Yoshievl can kind of set 275 00:13:35.000 --> 00:13:36.320 the tone in this one though, but they do want 276 00:13:36.320 --> 00:13:37.720 to see him get back on track coming out of 277 00:13:37.720 --> 00:13:38.519 that Yankee start. 278 00:13:38.759 --> 00:13:41.360 You mentioned the reinforcements We've been talking about it for 279 00:13:41.399 --> 00:13:44.679 a few weeks now. Is the bullpen is getting healthier 280 00:13:44.759 --> 00:13:48.279 and healthier in today? Yates, Kopeck, they're back. 281 00:13:49.200 --> 00:13:51.720 Yeah, So Kirby Ates Michael Kopek are going to be 282 00:13:51.759 --> 00:13:54.879 activated for this game today. And when it comes to 283 00:13:54.919 --> 00:13:57.480 those two guys, So for Michael Kopek, if you look 284 00:13:57.480 --> 00:13:59.960 at his rehab starts just or excuse me, his rebat 285 00:14:00.159 --> 00:14:03.320 rehab outings, the results haven't necessarily been there. So Dave 286 00:14:03.399 --> 00:14:05.639 Roberts did say that he does want to give him 287 00:14:05.639 --> 00:14:07.759 a bit of a softer landing coming back to the 288 00:14:07.759 --> 00:14:11.080 big league level. He does believe though that he's not 289 00:14:11.120 --> 00:14:14.639 necessarily a command guy, but he's a stuff guy, and 290 00:14:14.679 --> 00:14:16.759 so they believe the stuff is there. So right now, 291 00:14:16.799 --> 00:14:20.399 it's just kind of hopefully that you know, the big 292 00:14:20.559 --> 00:14:22.799 league stadium, the atmosphere, all of that can kind of 293 00:14:22.799 --> 00:14:25.000 dial him in to be just a little bit more efficient. 294 00:14:25.440 --> 00:14:27.879 So he is going to be available. And then Kirby Yates, 295 00:14:27.879 --> 00:14:30.600 he's looked really good come dealing with that hamstring injury. 296 00:14:30.600 --> 00:14:33.120 He said that about ten days after the injury, like 297 00:14:33.120 --> 00:14:35.679 he really turned the corner. Some people, you know, there 298 00:14:35.679 --> 00:14:37.039 was a little bit of concern Is it going to 299 00:14:37.039 --> 00:14:38.559 be a short time out on the iel. Is he 300 00:14:38.600 --> 00:14:40.720 going to be a longer stint? But he's felt like, 301 00:14:40.759 --> 00:14:42.519 you know, he took the time to get healthy and 302 00:14:42.600 --> 00:14:45.320 be ready. Of course, when you're watching the guys in 303 00:14:45.360 --> 00:14:47.919 the bullpen, whether it's them struggle, whether them eat up 304 00:14:47.960 --> 00:14:50.559 so many innings, he felt bad. So he's looking forward 305 00:14:50.679 --> 00:14:52.960 just to be back and to contribute. And he's feeling 306 00:14:53.000 --> 00:14:54.360 strong and healthy, which is key. 307 00:14:54.759 --> 00:14:57.080 It is a big time the Dodgers get these arms 308 00:14:57.120 --> 00:15:00.000 healthy and in that bullpen to help out this pitching 309 00:15:00.039 --> 00:15:02.720 steph Kirston, We appreciate it. Let's hope this game gets 310 00:15:02.799 --> 00:15:05.279 underway on time still to come here on Maronggo Casino 311 00:15:05.480 --> 00:15:07.960 Dodgers on deck will dive deeper into this pitching matchup. 312 00:15:08.120 --> 00:15:10.720 David Vast joins us throughout the hour. But up next 313 00:15:10.879 --> 00:15:12.919 we get you an injury report. Hey, we'll hear from 314 00:15:12.919 --> 00:15:16.879 the manager himself, Dave Roberts. Dodgers and Cardinals.

As we lead you 320 00:15:37.720 --> 00:15:40.799 after first pitch from Saint Louis Dodgers and Cardinals on 321 00:15:40.840 --> 00:15:43.960 this Saturday Marongo Casino Resort at SPA. It's a grand 322 00:15:44.000 --> 00:15:46.559 Slam for good times. Dodgers looking to get back on 323 00:15:46.600 --> 00:15:49.279 track after getting to shut out last night five to nothing. 324 00:15:49.399 --> 00:15:52.639 Yoshinobu Yamamoto on the mound, first pitch set for eleven 325 00:15:52.639 --> 00:15:53.080 to fifteen. 326 00:15:53.360 --> 00:15:57.840 This is the LA Dodgers injury. 327 00:15:57.440 --> 00:16:01.600 Report presented by UCLA Healthy, official medical partner of the 328 00:16:01.639 --> 00:16:05.159 Los Angeles Dodgers. Kirby Yates and Michael Kopek both being 329 00:16:05.240 --> 00:16:08.519 activated off the injure list. We'll see what the official 330 00:16:08.639 --> 00:16:12.919 corresponding moves are when the Dodgers officially announced it here 331 00:16:13.039 --> 00:16:16.200 shortly before first pitch. Tyler Glass now Blake Snell on 332 00:16:16.279 --> 00:16:18.759 the injured list, next in line, hopefully working their way 333 00:16:18.759 --> 00:16:21.399 back into this Dodger's rotation. It She and a name 334 00:16:21.399 --> 00:16:23.320 to keep an eye on in Triple A, Oklahoma City, 335 00:16:23.320 --> 00:16:26.320 working his way back from Tommy John surgery. Luis Garcia 336 00:16:26.399 --> 00:16:29.720 on the IL, Rookie Sasaki on the IL, and even 337 00:16:29.759 --> 00:16:32.799 further down the road. Blake Trining and Bruce darcarat Ro. 338 00:16:32.919 --> 00:16:34.799 All right, let's head back out to Saint Louis and 339 00:16:34.879 --> 00:16:35.519 check out the Dodgers. 340 00:16:35.559 --> 00:16:39.000 Gebbert the questions for Dave Dave? 341 00:16:39.080 --> 00:16:42.840 Can you just describe Dave? Can you talk about the pressure. 342 00:16:43.240 --> 00:16:45.720 In the dugouts with Dave Roberts. 343 00:16:47.440 --> 00:16:52.080 I think it's just it goes back to just commanding 344 00:16:52.080 --> 00:16:56.120 of the baseball. I think that when he's good, it's 345 00:16:56.159 --> 00:16:59.759 it's really commanded well his entire pitch mix. When it's not, 346 00:17:00.960 --> 00:17:05.519 he's just missing. He's working behind. This is a team 347 00:17:05.599 --> 00:17:09.400 that puss the ball in play and they don't punch 348 00:17:09.440 --> 00:17:12.880 a lot. So there, if he is right, there should 349 00:17:12.920 --> 00:17:16.519 be a lot of you know, efficiency, and he should 350 00:17:16.640 --> 00:17:17.480 go deep in the game. 351 00:17:17.720 --> 00:17:19.839 How do you have to manage him considering there is 352 00:17:20.119 --> 00:17:24.440 potential rain coming? Is there you thought about whether an 353 00:17:24.440 --> 00:17:26.000 opener or I guess the line himself, but like you 354 00:17:26.039 --> 00:17:29.200 thought about a different situation that could potentially protect him. 355 00:17:29.400 --> 00:17:32.480 I think in this situation, we're gonna just you know, 356 00:17:32.519 --> 00:17:34.319 they're going to run their guy out there, We're going 357 00:17:34.359 --> 00:17:37.359 to run our go out there. And as I kind 358 00:17:37.359 --> 00:17:40.079 of understand that the weather is kind of coming later, 359 00:17:41.000 --> 00:17:44.160 there'll be some sprinkles that'll be a little bit wet, 360 00:17:44.240 --> 00:17:45.920 but I think we're just going to kind of play 361 00:17:45.920 --> 00:17:46.640 it straight today. 362 00:17:46.880 --> 00:17:49.440 Dave Kim has shown that he's an elite second baseman. 363 00:17:49.519 --> 00:17:52.559 What's the big picture reason to have Tommy at second 364 00:17:52.599 --> 00:17:53.799 and Kim in center today? 365 00:17:54.559 --> 00:17:57.000 It's his ankle, just making sure I can kind of 366 00:17:57.079 --> 00:18:02.359 keep as much workload, uh coverage.
