25
00:01:21.319 --> 00:01:24.519
<v Speaker 2>Tim Neverert in the Gallpin Motors Broadcast booth. Well last

26
00:01:24.599 --> 00:01:28.040
<v Speaker 2>night in Atlanta, Buehler looked like he might be back

27
00:01:28.040 --> 00:01:32.319
<v Speaker 2>while the Dodgers' offense helped for a comeback win. Walker Buehler,

28
00:01:32.599 --> 00:01:35.280
<v Speaker 2>it's been a bumpy return this season, no doubt about it,

29
00:01:35.319 --> 00:01:39.280
<v Speaker 2>coming back from Tommy John surgery. Last night, though, maybe

30
00:01:39.319 --> 00:01:42.599
<v Speaker 2>he has turned the corner. Six innings, he gave up

31
00:01:42.599 --> 00:01:44.920
<v Speaker 2>two runs on three hits. He walked five, but he

32
00:01:44.959 --> 00:01:47.359
<v Speaker 2>also struck out five along the way. He got better

33
00:01:47.719 --> 00:01:50.079
<v Speaker 2>as the innings went along. Bueller got into a little

34
00:01:50.120 --> 00:01:52.239
<v Speaker 2>trouble in the third with one out. He walked Matt

35
00:01:52.239 --> 00:01:54.480
<v Speaker 2>Olsen with the bases loaded to bring in a run,

36
00:01:54.480 --> 00:01:57.359
<v Speaker 2>than Travis Darnault an infield single that scored a run.

37
00:01:57.439 --> 00:01:59.560
<v Speaker 2>The Braves were up two to nothing. In the fifth,

38
00:01:59.599 --> 00:02:01.879
<v Speaker 2>though Dodgers finally got on the board. Show Hey O

39
00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:04.560
<v Speaker 2>Tani a two out RBI single that scored Max Monzie.

40
00:02:04.799 --> 00:02:07.280
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers were down two to one, and the seventh show

41
00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:09.439
<v Speaker 2>Hey was added again. With two outs, they doubled the

42
00:02:09.520 --> 00:02:12.400
<v Speaker 2>right that scored Will Smith, and the Dodgers and Braves

43
00:02:12.400 --> 00:02:15.879
<v Speaker 2>were all knotted up at two. The game remain tied

44
00:02:16.039 --> 00:02:20.000
<v Speaker 2>until the ninth. Raziel Iglesia on in relief. Thirty five

45
00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:23.319
<v Speaker 2>and a third scoreless innings for the Braves. Reliever Will

46
00:02:23.319 --> 00:02:25.759
<v Speaker 2>Smith the one out triple off the wall and right center.

47
00:02:26.039 --> 00:02:29.400
<v Speaker 2>Two batters later, with two outs, they intentionally walked show

48
00:02:29.400 --> 00:02:31.680
<v Speaker 2>Hey to get to Mookie.

57
00:02:50.240 --> 00:02:54.080
<v Speaker 2>and the floodgates were opening. Freddie Freeman a single to left,

58
00:02:54.199 --> 00:02:56.520
<v Speaker 2>two runs scored on the air, Dodgers up five to two.

60
00:02:59.360 --> 00:03:02.599

<v Speaker 2>It is gone and.

<v Speaker 2>in Atlanta, Dodgers looking to salvage it with this split.

93
00:04:31.199 --> 00:04:34.319

95
00:04:36.319 --> 00:04:38.720
<v Speaker 2>out to the Galpin Motors broadcast booth as we say

96
00:04:38.759 --> 00:04:41.199
<v Speaker 2>hello to Rick Monday and Tim Neffer.

97
00:04:41.319 --> 00:04:45.000
<v Speaker 4>Guys, Sam, It's a beautiful evening for baseball in Atlanta

98
00:04:45.160 --> 00:04:47.639
<v Speaker 4>and the Dodgers and Braves gets set to wrap up

99
00:04:47.680 --> 00:04:51.480
<v Speaker 4>this four game wrap round series on this Monday night

100
00:04:51.519 --> 00:04:54.600
<v Speaker 4>at Truest Park. The Dodgers begin the night eighty eight

101
00:04:54.600 --> 00:04:56.959
<v Speaker 4>and sixty one, three and a half ahead of San Diego,

102
00:04:57.079 --> 00:05:00.439
<v Speaker 4>five on top of Arizona and the Braves eighty one

103
00:05:00.439 --> 00:05:03.519
<v Speaker 4>and sixty eight. They're nine back of the Philadelphia Phillies,

104
00:05:03.560 --> 00:05:06.120
<v Speaker 4>tied with the Mets for second in the division. Tied

105
00:05:06.160 --> 00:05:08.839
<v Speaker 4>with the Mets for the third place position in the

106
00:05:08.920 --> 00:05:13.040
<v Speaker 4>National League Wildcard picture. As far as the Dodgers postseason

107
00:05:13.120 --> 00:05:17.360
<v Speaker 4>birth goes, they could clinch as early as tomorrow. With

108
00:05:17.560 --> 00:05:21.439
<v Speaker 4>wins today at Atlanta and tomorrow at Miami and a

109
00:05:21.480 --> 00:05:25.639
<v Speaker 4>loss by the Braves tomorrow at Cincinnati and losses by

110
00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:28.680
<v Speaker 4>the Mets today and tomorrow against Washington.

111
00:05:28.720 --> 00:05:30.680
<v Speaker 6>That just clinches a postseason berth.

112
00:05:31.000 --> 00:05:33.959
<v Speaker 4>But the magic number to win the division is ten

113
00:05:34.439 --> 00:05:36.600
<v Speaker 4>to start action tonight. In fact, it was a year

114
00:05:36.639 --> 00:05:39.759
<v Speaker 4>ago tonight that the Dodgers did clinch the division in

115
00:05:39.800 --> 00:05:42.160
<v Speaker 4>a six to two extra innings win over the Mariners

116
00:05:42.680 --> 00:05:46.959
<v Speaker 4>in Seattle. So all the Padres continue to chase the Dodgers.

117
00:05:46.959 --> 00:05:49.079
<v Speaker 4>They'd need to go nine and three to tie the

118
00:05:49.120 --> 00:05:52.759
<v Speaker 4>Dodgers if the Dodgers played a game under five hundred

119
00:05:52.800 --> 00:05:54.519
<v Speaker 4>the rest of the way and win six and seven

120
00:05:54.839 --> 00:05:58.120
<v Speaker 4>the Diamondbacks. If the Dodgers went six and seven, would

121
00:05:58.120 --> 00:06:02.079
<v Speaker 4>have to go a perfect thirteen and to pass the Dodgers.

122
00:06:02.120 --> 00:06:05.399
<v Speaker 4>So time winding down Game number one fifty tonight, with

123
00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:08.519
<v Speaker 4>twelve to play in it's Yoshinobo Yamamoto on the hill

124
00:06:08.560 --> 00:06:11.399
<v Speaker 4>for the second time since coming off the injured list.

125
00:06:11.639 --> 00:06:15.560
<v Speaker 4>He will oppose Harvard Westlakes Max Freed. Freed is nine

126
00:06:15.560 --> 00:06:19.680
<v Speaker 4>and nine, Yamamoto is six and two. But before we

127
00:06:19.720 --> 00:06:22.279
<v Speaker 4>get to tonight, Maul brief look back at the ninth

128
00:06:22.319 --> 00:06:25.839
<v Speaker 4>inning last night, with two outs, seven runs in the

129
00:06:25.920 --> 00:06:27.439
<v Speaker 4>ninth inning to break it two two times.

130
00:06:27.519 --> 00:06:30.000
<v Speaker 7>You know, last night's win does not guarantee that there's

131
00:06:30.040 --> 00:06:32.079
<v Speaker 7>going to be a victory tonight. However, you really have

132
00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:34.879
<v Speaker 7>to draw some positives from last night's victory, come from

133
00:06:34.879 --> 00:06:38.160
<v Speaker 7>behind victory to begin with. Also with Walker Bueller, and

134
00:06:38.240 --> 00:06:40.759
<v Speaker 7>for Bueller had not really made a statement up until

135
00:06:40.839 --> 00:06:43.639
<v Speaker 7>last night about hey, look include me in the postseason roster,

136
00:06:43.720 --> 00:06:48.000
<v Speaker 7>in the starting rotation. Well, for Walker Bueller, six innings,

137
00:06:48.120 --> 00:06:51.399
<v Speaker 7>just two runs on three hits, he struck out five. Yes,

138
00:06:51.480 --> 00:06:55.040
<v Speaker 7>he did walk five also, But for Walker Bueller, after

139
00:06:55.120 --> 00:06:58.720
<v Speaker 7>he wiggled through that third inning, he was absolutely terrific. Oh,

140
00:06:58.720 --> 00:07:00.920
<v Speaker 7>he retired the first three batter in the opening frame,

141
00:07:01.000 --> 00:07:03.959
<v Speaker 7>no question about that. But we saw the Walker rueler

142
00:07:03.959 --> 00:07:06.160
<v Speaker 7>in the fourth to fifth and again in the sixth

143
00:07:06.240 --> 00:07:08.879
<v Speaker 7>inning that we've not seen for a while. He's seen

144
00:07:09.000 --> 00:07:12.639
<v Speaker 7>in command, he's seen very confident, and he got results.

145
00:07:12.639 --> 00:07:15.040
<v Speaker 7>The other part, too, is when the offense finally woke

146
00:07:15.120 --> 00:07:18.519
<v Speaker 7>up that being in that ninth inning, we saw some

147
00:07:18.680 --> 00:07:21.040
<v Speaker 7>life out of his wall club, as if they were hungry,

148
00:07:21.079 --> 00:07:24.480
<v Speaker 7>because if we looked previously the last ten games, it's

149
00:07:24.519 --> 00:07:26.600
<v Speaker 7>been kind of off and on a little bit iffy,

150
00:07:26.879 --> 00:07:30.160
<v Speaker 7>nothing iffy in the late stages last night, sho hey.

151
00:07:30.079 --> 00:07:33.160
<v Speaker 4>O'tani was OH for the first couple of games, and

152
00:07:33.480 --> 00:07:36.040
<v Speaker 4>OH for his first two at bats last night, but

153
00:07:36.079 --> 00:07:38.639
<v Speaker 4>he came alive late a pair of RBI doubles in

154
00:07:38.680 --> 00:07:41.839
<v Speaker 4>the fifth, in the seventh, and then was intentionally walked

155
00:07:41.920 --> 00:07:44.399
<v Speaker 4>right in front of Mookie Betts again, and Bets came

156
00:07:44.399 --> 00:07:44.600
<v Speaker 4>through it.

157
00:07:44.680 --> 00:07:47.240
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, that's like pressing a red button for Mookie Betts. Okay,

158
00:07:47.360 --> 00:07:49.439
<v Speaker 7>you want to walk the guy in front of me? Okay, fine.

159
00:07:49.600 --> 00:07:52.319
<v Speaker 7>Paul Benz did is that he got a won one

160
00:07:52.319 --> 00:07:55.079
<v Speaker 7>pitch to his liking, had an RBI single, then an

161
00:07:55.160 --> 00:07:58.560
<v Speaker 7>RBI single by Freddy Freeman to follow Betts, and then

162
00:07:58.560 --> 00:08:01.680
<v Speaker 7>that's when the home run barrage with Hernandez, di Oscar

163
00:08:02.319 --> 00:08:05.160
<v Speaker 7>Edmund and Munsey. And by the way, where on earth

164
00:08:05.199 --> 00:08:07.480
<v Speaker 7>did Tommy Edmund all of a sudden find the muscles

165
00:08:07.480 --> 00:08:09.600
<v Speaker 7>that hit the ball out of the ballpark. That's five

166
00:08:09.639 --> 00:08:13.360
<v Speaker 7>home runs now, for Edmunds in the last nineteen at bats.

167
00:08:13.560 --> 00:08:15.720
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, he has had five homers in the last five

168
00:08:15.759 --> 00:08:18.079
<v Speaker 4>games if you look at it that way. But he

169
00:08:18.120 --> 00:08:21.560
<v Speaker 4>has been really, really dynamic for the Dodgers, both in

170
00:08:21.639 --> 00:08:24.639
<v Speaker 4>center field and at short stop. He'll be in center

171
00:08:24.680 --> 00:08:29.319
<v Speaker 4>field tonight. So tonight the Dodgers hoped to even up

172
00:08:29.319 --> 00:08:32.840
<v Speaker 4>this four games sent as they send Yoshinova Yamamoto to

173
00:08:32.879 --> 00:08:36.480
<v Speaker 4>the mad Just an injury update from Austin Barnes.

174
00:08:36.519 --> 00:08:37.240
<v Speaker 6>He left the game.

175
00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:41.120
<v Speaker 4>It was shortly after the catcher's interference that was called

176
00:08:41.159 --> 00:08:43.480
<v Speaker 4>on him and thought maybe initially it was on his hand,

177
00:08:43.480 --> 00:08:45.320
<v Speaker 4>but no, he did foul the ball off of his

178
00:08:45.399 --> 00:08:48.919
<v Speaker 4>foot and it was determined after X rays he has

179
00:08:48.960 --> 00:08:52.879
<v Speaker 4>another fracture in a different part of his left big toe.

180
00:08:53.000 --> 00:08:55.799
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, and that took everybody by surprise. And what the

181
00:08:55.799 --> 00:08:57.879
<v Speaker 7>move is going to be? Wooll, We're all gonna wait

182
00:08:58.240 --> 00:09:00.960
<v Speaker 7>and find out. Will Smith is back in in doing

183
00:09:01.000 --> 00:09:03.639
<v Speaker 7>the catching in tonight's ball game. So Kicky Hernanez will

184
00:09:03.679 --> 00:09:06.399
<v Speaker 7>be at second base tonight with a left hander Max

185
00:09:06.480 --> 00:09:09.679
<v Speaker 7>Breed on the mound. Pretty much the same lineup, although

186
00:09:09.759 --> 00:09:12.840
<v Speaker 7>Munsey has now been dropped to the number eight spot.

187
00:09:13.480 --> 00:09:16.240
<v Speaker 7>With that left hander on the mound, and again we

188
00:09:16.360 --> 00:09:19.960
<v Speaker 7>see Dave Roberts kind of breaking up Otani Betts. Freeman

189
00:09:20.240 --> 00:09:22.879
<v Speaker 7>is the normal, but we see now for two games

190
00:09:22.919 --> 00:09:25.799
<v Speaker 7>with left handed pitchers on the mound, Freeman dropped to

191
00:09:25.879 --> 00:09:28.240
<v Speaker 7>the four spot, so you have Otani then two right

192
00:09:28.279 --> 00:09:31.039
<v Speaker 7>handed batters before you get another lefty Freeman. You had

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

244
00:12:10.679 --> 00:12:13.360
<v Speaker 2>Hey Kirson now joins us from an Atlanta final game

245
00:12:13.360 --> 00:12:15.360
<v Speaker 2>of this four game wrap around series, and it's off

246
00:12:15.399 --> 00:12:17.919
<v Speaker 2>to Miami for a three game set against the Marlans

247
00:12:18.279 --> 00:12:22.279
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers tonight, sending out Yoshinobu Yamamoto to the mound. Kirsen

248
00:12:22.360 --> 00:12:24.480
<v Speaker 2>in start number two for him since coming back from

249
00:12:24.519 --> 00:12:25.320
<v Speaker 2>that shoulder injury.

250
00:12:25.919 --> 00:12:28.519
<v Speaker 8>Exactly started number two and also a continuation of just

251
00:12:28.600 --> 00:12:30.639
<v Speaker 8>him building up. We know that when he first came

252
00:12:30.679 --> 00:12:35.200
<v Speaker 8>off the aisle he had only thrown around fifty ish pitches,

253
00:12:35.240 --> 00:12:37.200
<v Speaker 8>I think a fifty three exacts and only him down

254
00:12:37.240 --> 00:12:39.360
<v Speaker 8>through two innings, and so for his last one he

255
00:12:39.480 --> 00:12:41.360
<v Speaker 8>was really effected. He was able to give your four

256
00:12:41.399 --> 00:12:44.200
<v Speaker 8>innings and I think as much as it was an

257
00:12:44.240 --> 00:12:46.320
<v Speaker 8>incredible outing, and I think we expect that from him

258
00:12:46.320 --> 00:12:48.000
<v Speaker 8>and did come as a little bit of a surprise

259
00:12:48.120 --> 00:12:50.679
<v Speaker 8>just considering how long he was on the il. So

260
00:12:50.759 --> 00:12:53.159
<v Speaker 8>for this next one, you know, Dave was saying, in

261
00:12:53.200 --> 00:12:56.120
<v Speaker 8>that seventy five pitch count range, that feels pretty realistic.

262
00:12:56.399 --> 00:12:58.759
<v Speaker 8>So obviously keep an eye on just the stress of

263
00:12:58.799 --> 00:13:01.799
<v Speaker 8>the innings, but it seems like this mechanically things are

264
00:13:01.799 --> 00:13:03.559
<v Speaker 8>in a really good spot for you, you know who.

265
00:13:03.679 --> 00:13:05.840
<v Speaker 8>Health Wise, of course, she's in a really good spot.

266
00:13:06.200 --> 00:13:09.039
<v Speaker 8>We even saw a flight uptake in velocity in his

267
00:13:09.200 --> 00:13:11.919
<v Speaker 8>last outing with that fastball. The command was excellent, but

268
00:13:12.039 --> 00:13:15.399
<v Speaker 8>just that little flight uptake was similar to what we

269
00:13:15.480 --> 00:13:19.200
<v Speaker 8>saw against the Yankees back in June, in which everyone

270
00:13:19.240 --> 00:13:21.240
<v Speaker 8>was kind of like, oh, what was happening here, and

271
00:13:21.320 --> 00:13:23.200
<v Speaker 8>they thought that maybe that was you know, maybe it

272
00:13:23.240 --> 00:13:25.320
<v Speaker 8>was the excitement, the matchup.

273
00:13:25.200 --> 00:13:25.720
<v Speaker 1>The moment.

274
00:13:26.000 --> 00:13:28.320
<v Speaker 8>But if he can keep that going, which we did

275
00:13:28.320 --> 00:13:30.519
<v Speaker 8>see in the last outing, we'll see that kind of

276
00:13:30.519 --> 00:13:34.320
<v Speaker 8>maintains today. But Dave does expect anow they're just efficient

277
00:13:34.480 --> 00:13:36.320
<v Speaker 8>that really strong outing from him.

278
00:13:37.159 --> 00:13:40.000
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers going back to the lineup they had two days

279
00:13:40.000 --> 00:13:44.159
<v Speaker 2>ago when they faced a left hander, the Dodgers switching

280
00:13:44.200 --> 00:13:46.399
<v Speaker 2>things up with ta Oscar and Freddy.

281
00:13:47.399 --> 00:13:47.759
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

282
00:13:47.799 --> 00:13:50.559
<v Speaker 8>So what Dave Roberts really likes about this is as

283
00:13:50.600 --> 00:13:53.879
<v Speaker 8>you get deeper into the game, so these are top

284
00:13:54.039 --> 00:13:56.039
<v Speaker 8>arms I to do with Max Freid and similar what

285
00:13:56.120 --> 00:13:59.360
<v Speaker 8>we saw the other day with Chris Sale, it's these

286
00:13:59.399 --> 00:14:01.799
<v Speaker 8>are top They're going to go deep into the game

287
00:14:01.840 --> 00:14:04.519
<v Speaker 8>as they can. And so with that, Dave Roberts feels

288
00:14:04.519 --> 00:14:07.200
<v Speaker 8>like it's more of an attack to the attacks on

289
00:14:07.360 --> 00:14:08.799
<v Speaker 8>the picture as they get late to the game. It

290
00:14:08.840 --> 00:14:12.320
<v Speaker 8>also forces a tough decision from the manager because with

291
00:14:12.480 --> 00:14:14.480
<v Speaker 8>breaking up that lefties usually, of course you want to

292
00:14:14.519 --> 00:14:16.879
<v Speaker 8>stick with the LUFTI to attack those guys, but it

293
00:14:16.879 --> 00:14:20.840
<v Speaker 8>makes you decide, okay, well you've got yes, show hey

294
00:14:20.960 --> 00:14:22.639
<v Speaker 8>and then move in and then you've got this lefty

295
00:14:22.720 --> 00:14:25.399
<v Speaker 8>killer in chaos here and then you've got obviously an

296
00:14:25.440 --> 00:14:28.120
<v Speaker 8>extremely tough lefty bat with Freddy Freeman, So more of

297
00:14:28.159 --> 00:14:30.039
<v Speaker 8>a little game planning, especially as you get to the

298
00:14:30.159 --> 00:14:32.600
<v Speaker 8>end of the game. Towards the end of the game

299
00:14:33.600 --> 00:14:35.519
<v Speaker 8>the day, we're saying that we could be seeing this

300
00:14:36.360 --> 00:14:38.639
<v Speaker 8>come October, and there's not too many luffies that they'll

301
00:14:38.679 --> 00:14:41.720
<v Speaker 8>be facing just in between today and the end of

302
00:14:41.759 --> 00:14:44.360
<v Speaker 8>the regular season, but come Octobers some tough lufties. This

303
00:14:44.399 --> 00:14:46.480
<v Speaker 8>could be a realistic thing that we see pretty often.

304
00:14:46.759 --> 00:14:48.720
<v Speaker 2>Kison, what's the vibe you get around this team in

305
00:14:48.759 --> 00:14:51.960
<v Speaker 2>this series finale, They're going to leave Atlanta go to Miami.

306
00:14:52.240 --> 00:14:54.279
<v Speaker 2>But here we are two weeks less than the season,

307
00:14:54.600 --> 00:14:57.200
<v Speaker 2>and this is a Dodgers team clinging to an NL

308
00:14:57.240 --> 00:15:00.480
<v Speaker 2>West Divisional lead and realistically trying to to keep the

309
00:15:00.519 --> 00:15:01.799
<v Speaker 2>number two spaw in the nationally.

310
00:15:02.799 --> 00:15:05.480
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, you know what, I think how last night's game

311
00:15:05.720 --> 00:15:09.799
<v Speaker 8>ended was really telling and really powerful for this group

312
00:15:09.879 --> 00:15:12.600
<v Speaker 8>because they're looking to really carry that momentum, like even

313
00:15:12.679 --> 00:15:15.759
<v Speaker 8>coming in today, it's a different feel the first two

314
00:15:15.759 --> 00:15:18.200
<v Speaker 8>games of this series, not that I want to say that,

315
00:15:18.440 --> 00:15:21.600
<v Speaker 8>you know, the guys, no guys go down and out.

316
00:15:21.639 --> 00:15:24.600
<v Speaker 8>They're frustrated, and so for them to turn the page

317
00:15:24.639 --> 00:15:26.679
<v Speaker 8>and to kind of end on a high note yesterday,

318
00:15:26.679 --> 00:15:29.399
<v Speaker 8>to end with a blowout of an inning three executive

319
00:15:29.440 --> 00:15:32.120
<v Speaker 8>home run. Things like that, like that gets everyone going

320
00:15:32.159 --> 00:15:35.159
<v Speaker 8>to see how Michael Kopek got out of a two

321
00:15:36.320 --> 00:15:39.720
<v Speaker 8>learners on at second and third, no out, That was

322
00:15:39.759 --> 00:15:42.279
<v Speaker 8>a you could feel the shift in everything then, and

323
00:15:42.360 --> 00:15:44.600
<v Speaker 8>so there is a lighter feeling in the air. I

324
00:15:44.679 --> 00:15:46.960
<v Speaker 8>would stay here, and so the hope that they can

325
00:15:47.080 --> 00:15:49.399
<v Speaker 8>split this series, seaking up the win today and then

326
00:15:49.480 --> 00:15:52.679
<v Speaker 8>going to Miami find and hopefully kind of sweep them

327
00:15:52.720 --> 00:15:55.039
<v Speaker 8>and get things really going to end this road trip

328
00:15:55.080 --> 00:15:57.200
<v Speaker 8>on a high note as well, because you do feel

329
00:15:57.200 --> 00:16:00.519
<v Speaker 8>your sort you can feal the pressure. Yeah, the division

330
00:16:00.559 --> 00:16:03.000
<v Speaker 8>looks like and also we have these teams, whether it's

331
00:16:03.000 --> 00:16:06.200
<v Speaker 8>the Cups or the Braves, who are truly or choosing

332
00:16:06.240 --> 00:16:09.679
<v Speaker 8>the Mets, who are truly fighting to make their way

333
00:16:09.720 --> 00:16:11.840
<v Speaker 8>into the postseason. And you can truly feel that.

334

356
00:17:20.880 --> 00:17:23.319
<v Speaker 2>He's got a fractured toe. He got hit by a

357
00:17:23.319 --> 00:17:27.119
<v Speaker 2>foul pitch last night. Hunter Frodusia called up from TRIPAA

<v Speaker 2>into October, Tyler Glass now on the IL at the

<v Speaker 2>right elbow tendonitis. Clayton Kershaw on the IL with his

362
00:17:37.839 --> 00:17:40.079
<v Speaker 2>swelling in his left big toe the turf toe is

00:17:40.119 --> 00:17:42.640
<v Speaker 2>it's otherwise known as Joe Kelly on the IL at

364
00:17:42.640 --> 00:17:45.119
<v Speaker 2>the right shoulder inflammation. However, he has joined the team

365
00:17:45.160 --> 00:17:49.200
<v Speaker 2>in Atlanta, and the Dodgers expect to activate Joe sometime

366
00:17:49.519 --> 00:17:52.079
<v Speaker 2>in Miami when the Dodgers head there for the next

367
00:17:52.079 --> 00:17:52.599
<v Speaker 2>three games.

368
00:17:52.680 --> 00:17:53.440
<v Speaker 3>Gavin Stone on.

369
00:17:53.400 --> 00:17:56.759
<v Speaker 2>The IL with the elbow inflammation, Anthony Bonda on the

370
00:17:56.759 --> 00:17:59.240
<v Speaker 2>IL with the hairline fracture in his left hand after

371
00:17:59.279 --> 00:18:03.440
<v Speaker 2>he got frustration in his last outing last homestand and

372
00:18:03.599 --> 00:18:07.079
<v Speaker 2>Anthony Bonda is back at Camelback Ranch working his way back, hopefully,

373
00:18:07.480 --> 00:18:10.160
<v Speaker 2>hopefully he can join this Dodger's team. All right, let's

374
00:18:10.160 --> 00:18:11.880
<v Speaker 2>head back out to Atlanta and check you with the

375
00:18:11.920 --> 00:18:13.440
<v Speaker 2>Dodger skipper.

376
00:18:14.599 --> 00:18:15.680
<v Speaker 3>The questions for Dave.

377
00:18:15.559 --> 00:18:17.680
<v Speaker 1>Dave, can you just describe Dave?

378
00:18:17.720 --> 00:18:19.599
<v Speaker 3>Can you talk about the pressure.

379
00:18:20.000 --> 00:18:22.400
<v Speaker 1>In the dugouts with Dave Roberts.

380
00:18:24.400 --> 00:18:27.759
<v Speaker 5>I think there's some of that, but I think most

381
00:18:27.839 --> 00:18:33.640
<v Speaker 5>importantly he understands there's only a few more starts before,

382
00:18:34.200 --> 00:18:37.680
<v Speaker 5>you know, we get to the postseason, so there's not

383
00:18:37.759 --> 00:18:40.160
<v Speaker 5>a whole lot of time to kind of feel his

384
00:18:40.240 --> 00:18:43.920
<v Speaker 5>way into outings, and every outing is important, and so

385
00:18:44.039 --> 00:18:48.799
<v Speaker 5>he understands that, and so, like I said, I expect

386
00:18:48.839 --> 00:18:50.559
<v Speaker 5>to go out there and piffs away.

387
00:18:50.559 --> 00:18:53.319
<v Speaker 9>He's capable of dad his last start, did you feel

388
00:18:53.359 --> 00:18:57.000
<v Speaker 9>like he wasn't trying to play up to the talent

389
00:18:57.079 --> 00:19:00.119
<v Speaker 9>and he felt like he was on equal footing with

390
00:19:00.119 --> 00:19:00.880
<v Speaker 9>with those hitters.

391
00:19:00.920 --> 00:19:03.359
<v Speaker 10>Have you seen that in the last start? And did

392
00:19:03.359 --> 00:19:04.640
<v Speaker 10>you see it before you got hurt?

393
00:19:06.759 --> 00:19:08.759
<v Speaker 1>I saw that before he got hurt.

394
00:19:09.519 --> 00:19:12.799
<v Speaker 5>I think that he's seen enough major League baseball and

395
00:19:12.960 --> 00:19:17.839
<v Speaker 5>has performed enough to know that he's at the top

396
00:19:17.880 --> 00:19:20.960
<v Speaker 5>of the food chain as far as talent. So he's

397
00:19:21.000 --> 00:19:25.519
<v Speaker 5>a very confident player, and so that's what I saw.

398
00:19:25.559 --> 00:19:28.319
<v Speaker 5>So I felt that I feel he's gonna do the

399
00:19:28.319 --> 00:19:32.039
<v Speaker 5>same thing that. Again, he's very talented, very confident, and

400
00:19:32.079 --> 00:19:36.559
<v Speaker 5>he's really understanding what gets hitters out here.

401
00:19:37.440 --> 00:19:39.480
<v Speaker 4>I think you guys will try to get him on

402
00:19:39.519 --> 00:19:42.039
<v Speaker 4>a four day turn at any point before the end.

403
00:19:41.960 --> 00:19:42.279
<v Speaker 1>Of the race.

404
00:19:42.400 --> 00:19:42.960
<v Speaker 5>I don't think so.

405
00:19:43.160 --> 00:19:45.160
<v Speaker 1>No, do you think that'd being on the possibility in

406
00:19:45.160 --> 00:19:45.839
<v Speaker 1>October at all?

407
00:19:48.279 --> 00:19:52.119
<v Speaker 5>I'm not saying it's not a possibility, but it's still unlikely.

408
00:19:52.160 --> 00:19:55.519
<v Speaker 5>I think that what we've done, we're going to do

409
00:19:55.640 --> 00:19:57.400
<v Speaker 5>everything we can to kind of give him as much

410
00:19:57.480 --> 00:19:59.079
<v Speaker 5>rest that he's had.

411
00:20:00.400 --> 00:20:03.480
<v Speaker 7>Based on these schedule in Japan. Or is it to

412
00:20:03.599 --> 00:20:07.359
<v Speaker 7>protect the shoulder from.

413
00:20:06.359 --> 00:20:07.759
<v Speaker 1>No, it's it's it's just no.

414
00:20:07.839 --> 00:20:11.400
<v Speaker 5>I think it's schedule in Japan, schedule, what we've done here,

415
00:20:11.599 --> 00:20:12.119
<v Speaker 5>all of it.

416
00:20:12.839 --> 00:20:15.000
<v Speaker 10>And you you already kind of were talking about how

417
00:20:15.200 --> 00:20:15.960
<v Speaker 10>the techie.

418
00:20:15.720 --> 00:20:18.440
<v Speaker 3>Only handed he could best playoff rotation. How much is

419
00:20:19.200 --> 00:20:21.039
<v Speaker 3>just not being able to start them one for days

420
00:20:21.200 --> 00:20:23.000
<v Speaker 3>us a completely pet.

421
00:20:25.200 --> 00:20:29.799
<v Speaker 5>I think it's, uh, you know, I just don't get

422
00:20:29.799 --> 00:20:33.200
<v Speaker 5>caught up in stuff that it's really moved to even consider.

423
00:20:35.160 --> 00:20:37.160
<v Speaker 5>You know, this is something that you know, when we

424
00:20:37.240 --> 00:20:40.400
<v Speaker 5>acquired them, this is what we knew we planned on doing.

425
00:20:40.480 --> 00:20:45.519
<v Speaker 5>So those are separate situations and it's kind of where

426
00:20:45.519 --> 00:20:49.319
<v Speaker 5>we're at, and so we've got to figure out, you know,

427
00:20:50.599 --> 00:20:55.400
<v Speaker 5>how best to keep him fresh, sharp, prepared. Number one

428
00:20:56.680 --> 00:20:59.279
<v Speaker 5>and then number two, I guess basically fill in the

429
00:20:59.359 --> 00:21:02.680
<v Speaker 5>pieces of shoot. I would love to have four guys

430
00:21:02.720 --> 00:21:05.279
<v Speaker 5>that can go on short rest or regular rest, but

431
00:21:05.319 --> 00:21:07.480
<v Speaker 5>it's just just not feasible.

432
00:21:08.079 --> 00:21:09.519
<v Speaker 10>Do you think it would have been more of the

433
00:21:09.559 --> 00:21:11.839
<v Speaker 10>consideration had he not missed the time that he did

434
00:21:11.880 --> 00:21:12.799
<v Speaker 10>with the shoulder retreat?

435
00:21:16.200 --> 00:21:19.680
<v Speaker 5>Maybe maybe if you would have if we would have

436
00:21:19.720 --> 00:21:22.920
<v Speaker 5>been able to keep him healthy and kind of work

437
00:21:23.000 --> 00:21:28.839
<v Speaker 5>him into some situation like that, But you know, it

438
00:21:28.960 --> 00:21:32.640
<v Speaker 5>wasn't to be. And so again, if something presents itself,

439
00:21:33.200 --> 00:21:34.799
<v Speaker 5>you know, if we're fortunate enough to get to the

440
00:21:34.839 --> 00:21:39.920
<v Speaker 5>postseason and that situation and it makes sense, it's a conversation,

441
00:21:40.000 --> 00:21:42.759
<v Speaker 5>but that's not something that we're we're planning on right now.

442
00:21:42.960 --> 00:21:44.920
<v Speaker 2>All right, there's Dave Roberts down the dugout, brought to

<v Speaker 1>for who they are. This is Dodger insider David Basse.

462
00:22:50.799 --> 00:22:52.720
<v Speaker 3>All right, DVA, go back to last night.

463
00:22:52.799 --> 00:22:55.200
<v Speaker 2>The Dodgers explode in the ninth inning, the back to

464
00:22:55.240 --> 00:22:58.319
<v Speaker 2>back to back home runs. The big hit from Mookie

465
00:22:58.319 --> 00:23:01.200
<v Speaker 2>bed certainly was was big for the but they don't

466
00:23:01.240 --> 00:23:03.759
<v Speaker 2>get to that point with a tie game if Michael

467
00:23:03.799 --> 00:23:06.359
<v Speaker 2>Kopek doesn't get himself out of his own issues there

468
00:23:06.599 --> 00:23:08.079
<v Speaker 2>in the bottom half of the eighth Any.

469
00:23:07.960 --> 00:23:11.200
<v Speaker 10>Last night, Yeah, there were runners at second and third

470
00:23:11.240 --> 00:23:13.799
<v Speaker 10>and after Kopek was able to get the third out

471
00:23:13.839 --> 00:23:16.920
<v Speaker 10>on a strikeout. He led out a lot of emotion

472
00:23:17.240 --> 00:23:19.640
<v Speaker 10>on the mound that we have not seen from him

473
00:23:20.000 --> 00:23:23.920
<v Speaker 10>since the Dodgers acquired Kopek. And after the game last night,

474
00:23:24.000 --> 00:23:27.200
<v Speaker 10>when we spoke to Freddie Freeman, he said, Kopek getting

475
00:23:27.240 --> 00:23:30.119
<v Speaker 10>out of that inning and showing that type of emotion

476
00:23:30.759 --> 00:23:34.480
<v Speaker 10>really fired up that dugout, that Dodger dugout and set

477
00:23:34.519 --> 00:23:37.720
<v Speaker 10>the stage for the heroics and Mookie Betts in the

478
00:23:37.759 --> 00:23:40.799
<v Speaker 10>top of the ninth inning. Here was Michael Kopek earlier

479
00:23:40.839 --> 00:23:43.119
<v Speaker 10>today when I caught up with him in the dugout

480
00:23:43.400 --> 00:23:46.599
<v Speaker 10>and presented he did not know Freddy had told us that.

481
00:23:46.920 --> 00:23:49.039
<v Speaker 10>And here was his reaction when I let him know

482
00:23:49.119 --> 00:23:52.599
<v Speaker 10>that Freddie Freeman thought aloud about that eighth inning and

483
00:23:52.680 --> 00:23:53.519
<v Speaker 10>about the emotion.

484
00:23:53.680 --> 00:23:56.440
<v Speaker 11>He showed, Yeah, I don't think it's like a conscious

485
00:23:56.480 --> 00:23:59.440
<v Speaker 11>thing I'm thinking of, like you know, I want to,

486
00:23:59.519 --> 00:24:03.200
<v Speaker 11>like yell or scream or anything, get and get everybody fired.

487
00:24:03.279 --> 00:24:06.640
<v Speaker 11>It's not like that necessarily, but I felt how important

488
00:24:06.640 --> 00:24:10.160
<v Speaker 11>the moment was. You know, tig game. We're coming off

489
00:24:10.160 --> 00:24:13.000
<v Speaker 11>a rough couple of games before that had runners in

490
00:24:13.119 --> 00:24:16.680
<v Speaker 11>scoring position with no outs. I knew I needed to

491
00:24:17.799 --> 00:24:20.799
<v Speaker 11>buckle down, so to speak, right there, and Mark basically

492
00:24:20.880 --> 00:24:23.799
<v Speaker 11>told me as much on the mound, and I, you know,

493
00:24:24.440 --> 00:24:26.960
<v Speaker 11>not personal is how.

494
00:24:26.799 --> 00:24:27.279
<v Speaker 1>I took it.

495
00:24:27.319 --> 00:24:28.680
<v Speaker 6>But I took it like.

496
00:24:29.599 --> 00:24:32.200
<v Speaker 11>You know, like a fire was lit under me, and

497
00:24:32.440 --> 00:24:33.680
<v Speaker 11>you know, to be able to get out of that

498
00:24:33.720 --> 00:24:37.759
<v Speaker 11>inning was huge for me personally, but I knew bigger

499
00:24:37.799 --> 00:24:40.400
<v Speaker 11>than me, it was important for the team. So yeah,

500
00:24:40.400 --> 00:24:42.519
<v Speaker 11>I was fired up. I didn't really like take that

501
00:24:42.559 --> 00:24:44.599
<v Speaker 11>moment as a chance to fire the team up, but

502
00:24:44.640 --> 00:24:47.119
<v Speaker 11>I'm glad that that's what it did. And that ninth

503
00:24:47.119 --> 00:24:50.079
<v Speaker 11>inning was incredible. I don't think I've seen anything like that.

504
00:24:50.200 --> 00:24:52.759
<v Speaker 6>That was so organic. Like you said, like what you

505
00:24:52.759 --> 00:24:55.279
<v Speaker 6>did that was just you in that moment.

506
00:24:55.759 --> 00:24:58.160
<v Speaker 10>It feels like you guys kind of needed that, and

507
00:24:58.240 --> 00:25:00.559
<v Speaker 10>I know it wasn't something that you playing, And I

508
00:25:00.559 --> 00:25:03.440
<v Speaker 10>feel like that means more to a team than trying

509
00:25:03.440 --> 00:25:06.519
<v Speaker 10>to script it or be you not authentic.

510
00:25:06.759 --> 00:25:10.000
<v Speaker 11>Absolutely, Like I mean, there's a time and there's guys

511
00:25:10.000 --> 00:25:12.880
<v Speaker 11>that are really good at the vocal leadership, the guys

512
00:25:12.920 --> 00:25:16.200
<v Speaker 11>that will come in and they'll you know, they'll yell

513
00:25:16.240 --> 00:25:18.559
<v Speaker 11>and say some inspiring words and get everybody fired up.

514
00:25:19.640 --> 00:25:22.319
<v Speaker 11>But you know, if that doesn't come across organically, like

515
00:25:22.359 --> 00:25:25.680
<v Speaker 11>you said, then it almost falls flat. There's nothing really there.

516
00:25:25.720 --> 00:25:29.759
<v Speaker 11>But if if you can see everybody doing exactly what

517
00:25:29.799 --> 00:25:31.839
<v Speaker 11>they're supposed to do and playing the game the right way,

518
00:25:31.960 --> 00:25:34.279
<v Speaker 11>playing the game hard, playing the game of passion, I

519
00:25:34.319 --> 00:25:36.880
<v Speaker 11>think that that is really contagious amongst the team, especially

520
00:25:36.920 --> 00:25:40.240
<v Speaker 11>a team like this, you know, and we've had that

521
00:25:40.359 --> 00:25:43.359
<v Speaker 11>since I've been here, with the exception of maybe a

522
00:25:43.440 --> 00:25:47.240
<v Speaker 11>few games leading up to yesterday, and I think that

523
00:25:47.240 --> 00:25:50.720
<v Speaker 11>that everyone, you know, wanted to get that back, and

524
00:25:51.359 --> 00:25:54.079
<v Speaker 11>we had some, you know, some thoughts about it in

525
00:25:54.119 --> 00:25:57.319
<v Speaker 11>the clubhouse, and I think that that game just was

526
00:25:58.599 --> 00:26:00.880
<v Speaker 11>the overall the games a moment such as far as

527
00:26:00.960 --> 00:26:02.839
<v Speaker 11>Walker going out there and doom where he did was

528
00:26:02.920 --> 00:26:05.759
<v Speaker 11>huge for us. And then for all the boys to

529
00:26:05.839 --> 00:26:08.519
<v Speaker 11>rally like that in the ninth it was just really special.

530
00:26:08.720 --> 00:26:12.200
<v Speaker 10>I know that's private in the clubhouse there, but when

531
00:26:12.279 --> 00:26:15.079
<v Speaker 10>Dave Roberts has all you guys together, did you feel

532
00:26:15.119 --> 00:26:17.680
<v Speaker 10>like it was the right timing for that and the

533
00:26:17.680 --> 00:26:20.039
<v Speaker 10>way you guys came out and that eighth inning, that

534
00:26:20.160 --> 00:26:22.599
<v Speaker 10>ninth inning capped off what started the day.

535
00:26:23.480 --> 00:26:25.480
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, I mean, look, I don't I don't think he

536
00:26:25.640 --> 00:26:31.359
<v Speaker 11>was like necessarily trying to to be anything other than

537
00:26:31.440 --> 00:26:35.000
<v Speaker 11>just like, you know, talk to us, level headed. You know,

538
00:26:35.079 --> 00:26:37.160
<v Speaker 11>I think that we were all on the same page.

539
00:26:39.119 --> 00:26:39.480
<v Speaker 6>It was.

540
00:26:39.799 --> 00:26:43.759
<v Speaker 11>It was just a simple conversation and and what what

541
00:26:43.799 --> 00:26:45.920
<v Speaker 11>he wants from us, and what he you know, what

542
00:26:45.960 --> 00:26:48.799
<v Speaker 11>we expect from each other. And so it wasn't anything

543
00:26:50.319 --> 00:26:52.160
<v Speaker 11>as far as like this big ordeal of the meeting

544
00:26:52.279 --> 00:26:55.920
<v Speaker 11>or anything like that. But you know, I know that

545
00:26:55.960 --> 00:26:59.799
<v Speaker 11>what he said to me spoke spoke to me pretty strongly.

546
00:27:00.960 --> 00:27:02.640
<v Speaker 11>For us to be able to have a game like

547
00:27:02.680 --> 00:27:03.559
<v Speaker 11>that was a really big goal.

548
00:27:05.039 --> 00:27:05.400
<v Speaker 6>All right.

549
00:27:05.440 --> 00:27:08.920
<v Speaker 10>There was Michael Kopek earlier today. Tim very candid with

550
00:27:09.039 --> 00:27:12.240
<v Speaker 10>his thoughts about last night's eighth inning and also what

551
00:27:12.400 --> 00:27:15.240
<v Speaker 10>was said during that Dave Roberts called team meeting.

552
00:27:15.640 --> 00:27:16.640
<v Speaker 3>Dave was driven by Ford.

553
00:27:16.640 --> 00:27:18.759
<v Speaker 2>If there's one thing we like his choices, find yours

554
00:27:18.759 --> 00:27:20.680
<v Speaker 2>with the four f one to fifty gas hybrid all

555
00:27:20.680 --> 00:27:23.960
<v Speaker 2>electric tough this market only be called F one fifty

556
00:27:24.240 --> 00:27:26.480
<v Speaker 2>Otani through again today, Dave.

557
00:27:27.640 --> 00:27:30.160
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, this is part of his throwing program to come

558
00:27:30.160 --> 00:27:31.960
<v Speaker 10>back from his second elbow surgery.

559
00:27:32.039 --> 00:27:32.359
<v Speaker 4>Tim.

560
00:27:33.279 --> 00:27:36.920
<v Speaker 10>As you know, we reported that he did throw another

561
00:27:37.079 --> 00:27:40.880
<v Speaker 10>bullpen session the first day here in Atlanta, but there's

562
00:27:40.920 --> 00:27:43.839
<v Speaker 10>been a lot of speculation about whether or not the

563
00:27:43.920 --> 00:27:48.559
<v Speaker 10>Dodgers are considering having Otani pitch in any postseason game.

564
00:27:48.920 --> 00:27:51.640
<v Speaker 10>I was told again today that it's a long shot

565
00:27:52.400 --> 00:27:55.319
<v Speaker 10>right now. I was told the percentage of Otani pitching

566
00:27:55.319 --> 00:27:58.680
<v Speaker 10>in a postseason game is at ten percent. But the

567
00:27:58.759 --> 00:28:02.279
<v Speaker 10>Dodgers don't plan on shutting down his throwing programs, so

568
00:28:02.759 --> 00:28:06.920
<v Speaker 10>that always leaves the door open. And as I reported yesterday,

569
00:28:07.279 --> 00:28:10.880
<v Speaker 10>I've spoken to Japanese media members that have covered Otani

570
00:28:10.960 --> 00:28:14.640
<v Speaker 10>going back to Japan. They don't believe Otani would ramp

571
00:28:14.640 --> 00:28:17.559
<v Speaker 10>it up to try to pitch in an NLDS game

572
00:28:17.799 --> 00:28:21.119
<v Speaker 10>or an NLCS game. They feel like if he were

573
00:28:21.160 --> 00:28:24.680
<v Speaker 10>to pitch out of necessity for the team, it would

574
00:28:24.720 --> 00:28:27.799
<v Speaker 10>be on the stage of the World Series. So the

575
00:28:27.880 --> 00:28:30.680
<v Speaker 10>Dodgers have to get there first. There's a long ways

576
00:28:30.720 --> 00:28:33.480
<v Speaker 10>to go before you even start talking that way.

577
00:28:33.599 --> 00:28:35.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's ways down the road, as you said, DV,

578
00:28:36.000 --> 00:28:37.559
<v Speaker 2>all right, appreciate it. We'll check back in with you

<v Speaker 2>We'll dive deeper into this pitching matchup.

658
00:32:47.119 --> 00:32:51.559
<v Speaker 1>But first and now joined by David Basseying, here's La

659
00:32:51.720 --> 00:32:57.079
<v Speaker 1>Dodgers broadcaster and World Series champion Dodger Rick Monday.

660
00:32:57.640 --> 00:33:00.519
<v Speaker 10>Rick the final game of this four game series. The

661
00:33:00.559 --> 00:33:05.000
<v Speaker 10>Dodgers are feeling optimistic after last night start from Walker Bueller.

662
00:33:04.839 --> 00:33:08.319
<v Speaker 7>Did you notice something also that took place today. I mean,

663
00:33:08.680 --> 00:33:12.000
<v Speaker 7>the Dodgers win last night, right, the sun came out today.

664
00:33:12.519 --> 00:33:14.559
<v Speaker 6>Oh it's hot Lanta today, Rick, Well.

665
00:33:14.640 --> 00:33:17.160
<v Speaker 7>Not really hot hot. We're going to have some hot weather,

666
00:33:17.160 --> 00:33:20.640
<v Speaker 7>although it'd be indoors the next three that being in Miami.

667
00:33:20.680 --> 00:33:24.079
<v Speaker 7>But I thought it was rather amusing that, you know, overcast,

668
00:33:24.440 --> 00:33:27.319
<v Speaker 7>little drizzly the first night, Dodgers win last night, to

669
00:33:27.400 --> 00:33:30.400
<v Speaker 7>come from behind victory, and the sun came out today.

670
00:33:30.519 --> 00:33:33.440
<v Speaker 10>Maybe Tommy Lesorda in blue Heaven was shining down on

671
00:33:33.519 --> 00:33:34.480
<v Speaker 10>the Dodgers today.

672
00:33:34.599 --> 00:33:37.720
<v Speaker 7>It could be, And what a what a display all

673
00:33:37.720 --> 00:33:41.759
<v Speaker 7>of a sudden. I noticed something also, and you know

674
00:33:41.799 --> 00:33:45.000
<v Speaker 7>you can you can label me as an optimist. That's

675
00:33:44.799 --> 00:33:47.880
<v Speaker 7>that's the way I lived my life. But in that

676
00:33:48.000 --> 00:33:51.319
<v Speaker 7>ninth inning, when the Dodgers came alive, all of a sudden,

677
00:33:51.359 --> 00:33:54.359
<v Speaker 7>we saw some enthusiasm, and for very good reason. I mean,

678
00:33:54.400 --> 00:33:57.720
<v Speaker 7>coming from behind, the three consecutive home runs, yes, but

679
00:33:57.839 --> 00:34:02.119
<v Speaker 7>also you had one two ring, four five batters in

680
00:34:02.200 --> 00:34:05.279
<v Speaker 7>a row in that ninth inning that knocked in runs.

681
00:34:05.680 --> 00:34:07.559
<v Speaker 7>This is a ball club. I think now that it's

682
00:34:07.599 --> 00:34:11.480
<v Speaker 7>getting hungry to close the gap and clinch playoff, Rick,

683
00:34:11.519 --> 00:34:11.840
<v Speaker 7>do you.

684
00:34:11.800 --> 00:34:13.400
<v Speaker 6>Believe we'll see other managers.

685
00:34:13.400 --> 00:34:17.559
<v Speaker 10>Opposing managers continue to walk Otani in front of Mookie

686
00:34:17.599 --> 00:34:20.000
<v Speaker 10>bets and crucial situations.

687
00:34:19.800 --> 00:34:22.400
<v Speaker 7>Ask Mooki events how big that smile is getting because

688
00:34:22.679 --> 00:34:24.760
<v Speaker 7>he's two for two when that has happened in recent

689
00:34:24.800 --> 00:34:27.599
<v Speaker 7>times when they walk Otani and we understand full well

690
00:34:27.639 --> 00:34:30.719
<v Speaker 7>while you're walking Otani, I mean, but as pick your poison,

691
00:34:31.159 --> 00:34:34.440
<v Speaker 7>And for Mookie Bentz, he takes it as a personal challenge,

692
00:34:34.480 --> 00:34:37.039
<v Speaker 7>not as an insult, but as a challenge.

693
00:34:37.559 --> 00:34:38.440
<v Speaker 6>What's the difference.

694
00:34:40.079 --> 00:34:44.079
<v Speaker 7>It's bubblerk relations inside. Yeah, he's taking you personally.

695
00:34:44.199 --> 00:34:44.360
<v Speaker 1>Well.

696
00:34:44.360 --> 00:34:46.360
<v Speaker 10>It kind of goes back to the story you've told

697
00:34:46.360 --> 00:34:47.920
<v Speaker 10>about Ernie Banks and yourself.

698
00:34:48.039 --> 00:34:48.199
<v Speaker 14>Right.

699
00:34:48.320 --> 00:34:50.360
<v Speaker 6>He asked you, who do you get mad at the

700
00:34:50.360 --> 00:34:51.199
<v Speaker 6>picture of the boss?

701
00:34:51.199 --> 00:34:53.599
<v Speaker 7>And he said, let me ask you a question in

702
00:34:53.679 --> 00:34:56.159
<v Speaker 7>the way. Ernie says, here you get managed pol where

703
00:34:56.159 --> 00:34:58.239
<v Speaker 7>you get mad at the picture? And before he could answered,

704
00:34:58.280 --> 00:35:00.519
<v Speaker 7>he walked away. This is many many years ago, obviously,

705
00:35:01.039 --> 00:35:05.320
<v Speaker 7>and it was years later then I finally got a

706
00:35:05.400 --> 00:35:07.000
<v Speaker 7>chance to talk. Dernie said, hey, you asked me a

707
00:35:07.079 --> 00:35:08.679
<v Speaker 7>question before if I got mad at the ball or

708
00:35:08.719 --> 00:35:10.679
<v Speaker 7>I got mad at the picture? What was your answer?

709
00:35:11.119 --> 00:35:12.039
<v Speaker 7>I said, I got mad.

710
00:35:11.920 --> 00:35:12.320
<v Speaker 1>At the ball.

711
00:35:12.320 --> 00:35:14.320
<v Speaker 7>He goes right answer. He says, there's too many different

712
00:35:14.320 --> 00:35:15.719
<v Speaker 7>pictures as the same baseball.

713
00:35:15.880 --> 00:35:18.039
<v Speaker 10>So you feel like that applies to Mookie Betts. He

714
00:35:18.079 --> 00:35:19.920
<v Speaker 10>gets mad at the ball, not the manager.

715
00:35:20.079 --> 00:35:22.440
<v Speaker 7>Let me tell you this. If they walk O Tony

716
00:35:22.519 --> 00:35:26.679
<v Speaker 7>tonight to get to Mookie Betts, I'm expecting big, big things.

717
00:35:26.840 --> 00:35:28.199
<v Speaker 6>Oh yeah, we look forward to that.

718
00:35:28.519 --> 00:35:31.039
<v Speaker 10>And the Dodgers are facing one of your old teammates,

719
00:35:31.079 --> 00:35:35.000
<v Speaker 10>Protege and Max Freed. Reggie Smith was a mentor to

720
00:35:35.039 --> 00:35:37.000
<v Speaker 10>Max Freed all those years in Encino.

721
00:35:37.199 --> 00:35:39.760
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, yeah, and what I thought. You know, I'm a

722
00:35:39.760 --> 00:35:41.679
<v Speaker 7>little surprised you didn't bring up he as a valley guy.

723
00:35:41.840 --> 00:35:44.519
<v Speaker 7>Oh you didn't mention the city. Yeah, because you're a

724
00:35:44.559 --> 00:35:45.440
<v Speaker 7>valley guy yourself.

725
00:35:45.480 --> 00:35:48.280
<v Speaker 10>Well, Max Freed and I have formed a tight relationships

726
00:35:48.320 --> 00:35:50.920
<v Speaker 10>since we both have been terrabuleivart ties.

727
00:35:50.639 --> 00:35:52.880
<v Speaker 7>And I noticed you had a tight relationship talking to

728
00:35:52.920 --> 00:35:55.719
<v Speaker 7>the Bazuka today. Yeah, Bruce ar Grandero were going to

729
00:35:55.760 --> 00:35:57.159
<v Speaker 7>talk about him a little bit later on.

730
00:35:57.400 --> 00:35:58.440
<v Speaker 6>Yes, sir, yes, sir.

731
00:35:58.480 --> 00:36:01.599
<v Speaker 10>But I feel like people should still have the same

732
00:36:01.639 --> 00:36:04.880
<v Speaker 10>outlook that gratterol express to me. Rick a lot of

733
00:36:04.920 --> 00:36:09.280
<v Speaker 10>gratitude for where he's at after a big shoulder injury.

734
00:36:09.440 --> 00:36:12.079
<v Speaker 10>He just seems to be very grateful for what he has.

735
00:36:12.320 --> 00:36:14.039
<v Speaker 7>Isn't that the story with all of us?

736
00:36:14.199 --> 00:36:16.079
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, we should be a little bit more grateful.

737
00:36:16.119 --> 00:36:18.199
<v Speaker 7>The sun came out today, David, enjoy it.

776
00:38:09.079 --> 00:38:13.119
<v Speaker 10>for his sixty sixth birthday. Oral Happy birthday from all

777
00:38:13.159 --> 00:38:15.599
<v Speaker 10>of us. You know how much La and Dodger fans

778
00:38:15.639 --> 00:38:17.480
<v Speaker 10>love you, so I hope you're having a great day.

779
00:38:18.000 --> 00:38:18.199
<v Speaker 7>You know.

780
00:38:19.000 --> 00:38:20.760
<v Speaker 14>You know the reason they love me is we got

781
00:38:20.800 --> 00:38:22.599
<v Speaker 14>to go back to eighty eight, right, and that was

782
00:38:22.639 --> 00:38:25.000
<v Speaker 14>the year that changed everybody's life and the memory of

783
00:38:25.039 --> 00:38:28.119
<v Speaker 14>the Dodgers and everything that happened, all the way from

784
00:38:28.199 --> 00:38:31.119
<v Speaker 14>being drafted in the seventeenth round in nineteen seventy nine

785
00:38:31.159 --> 00:38:33.599
<v Speaker 14>to here, I am still talking to Dodger fans and

786
00:38:34.119 --> 00:38:36.000
<v Speaker 14>loving the fact that they love me. So thank you

787
00:38:36.039 --> 00:38:37.000
<v Speaker 14>for the birthday wishes.

788
00:38:37.119 --> 00:38:40.039
<v Speaker 10>Speaking of nineteen eighty eight, obviously you were in the

789
00:38:40.039 --> 00:38:43.840
<v Speaker 10>middle of your record setting consecutive scoreless inning streak on

790
00:38:44.119 --> 00:38:48.000
<v Speaker 10>September sixteenth, nineteen eighty eight. Do you remember that birthday

791
00:38:48.000 --> 00:38:48.719
<v Speaker 10>more than others?

792
00:38:49.679 --> 00:38:50.159
<v Speaker 6>I guess so.

793
00:38:50.480 --> 00:38:53.440
<v Speaker 14>I guess I remember it more. Not because of the streak,

794
00:38:53.519 --> 00:38:55.719
<v Speaker 14>of course, the streak is there in baseball fans in

795
00:38:55.760 --> 00:39:01.039
<v Speaker 14>my mind. But September fifteenth was my seconde was born Jordan,

796
00:39:01.239 --> 00:39:04.599
<v Speaker 14>so Jordan Douglas Hirscheiser was born September fifteenth, and then

797
00:39:04.679 --> 00:39:07.920
<v Speaker 14>my birthday September sixteenth, so it's always a special time

798
00:39:07.960 --> 00:39:09.599
<v Speaker 14>of year. And here we are on the road in

799
00:39:09.639 --> 00:39:13.800
<v Speaker 14>Atlanta on when Jordan's birthday was yesterday and mine is today.

800
00:39:14.440 --> 00:39:16.679
<v Speaker 14>We will celebrate when we get home to La So

801
00:39:16.760 --> 00:39:19.320
<v Speaker 14>we're already planning a special dinner and every year it's

802
00:39:19.360 --> 00:39:23.920
<v Speaker 14>a special celebration where he gets presents and I get cards.

803
00:39:24.880 --> 00:39:26.639
<v Speaker 6>At this stage, right, oh for sure.

804
00:39:26.679 --> 00:39:28.440
<v Speaker 14>You know he might even get a check in his

805
00:39:28.519 --> 00:39:31.320
<v Speaker 14>card and I just get a nice card and maybe

806
00:39:31.320 --> 00:39:32.760
<v Speaker 14>a new tie for broadcasting.

807
00:39:32.840 --> 00:39:35.039
<v Speaker 10>Well, I guess now that you're a broadcaster, you find

808
00:39:35.039 --> 00:39:37.280
<v Speaker 10>yourself in these weird cities like Atlanta.

809
00:39:37.599 --> 00:39:39.400
<v Speaker 6>Were you able to celebrate last night?

810
00:39:39.960 --> 00:39:43.760
<v Speaker 14>I really just stayed in my room, cocooning, watching football,

811
00:39:43.880 --> 00:39:45.599
<v Speaker 14>watching the Dodgers.

812
00:39:45.079 --> 00:39:45.679
<v Speaker 3>Hanging out.

813
00:39:45.760 --> 00:39:48.079
<v Speaker 14>So it's one of those days that you know, when

814
00:39:48.119 --> 00:39:51.000
<v Speaker 14>you have a busy life, sometimes that hotel room gets

815
00:39:51.039 --> 00:39:53.199
<v Speaker 14>to be a nice oasis. You get away, you get

816
00:39:53.239 --> 00:39:55.639
<v Speaker 14>to sleep in, you don't have to do anything. And

817
00:39:55.679 --> 00:39:57.679
<v Speaker 14>with an off day, it's been an odd road trip

818
00:39:57.719 --> 00:40:00.559
<v Speaker 14>for me because we had Apple TV do the first game.

819
00:40:00.599 --> 00:40:03.360
<v Speaker 14>We had ESPN do the game last night, so of

820
00:40:03.400 --> 00:40:05.960
<v Speaker 14>the four days, we're only broadcasting too. But we're back

821
00:40:05.960 --> 00:40:06.880
<v Speaker 14>at it tonight.

822
00:40:06.920 --> 00:40:10.760
<v Speaker 10>Orl Herscheiser, the birthday boy is our guest here in Atlanta.

823
00:40:10.920 --> 00:40:13.159
<v Speaker 10>You mentioned you watched the game last night. I know

824
00:40:13.199 --> 00:40:17.519
<v Speaker 10>you're extremely close to Walker Buehler. How optimistic are the

825
00:40:17.559 --> 00:40:19.440
<v Speaker 10>Dodgers after that type of start?

826
00:40:19.760 --> 00:40:22.800
<v Speaker 14>Well, I think we continue to see him grow and

827
00:40:22.800 --> 00:40:25.239
<v Speaker 14>this is a different guy coming back from rehab because

828
00:40:25.239 --> 00:40:28.199
<v Speaker 14>he's coming back with different tools and the fastballs back

829
00:40:28.239 --> 00:40:30.239
<v Speaker 14>down maybe you know, three mile an hour or so.

830
00:40:30.320 --> 00:40:33.199
<v Speaker 14>The stuff is not as quite as sharp and as

831
00:40:33.280 --> 00:40:35.679
<v Speaker 14>much break, but he's learning to pitch with it, and

832
00:40:35.719 --> 00:40:37.840
<v Speaker 14>I think that's the good thing. And once he learns

833
00:40:37.840 --> 00:40:39.400
<v Speaker 14>to pitch with it, I think then the stuff is

834
00:40:39.440 --> 00:40:41.000
<v Speaker 14>going to go up. And I think we saw that

835
00:40:41.159 --> 00:40:44.320
<v Speaker 14>last night. It's you know, it's about counts, it's about

836
00:40:44.400 --> 00:40:47.280
<v Speaker 14>learning to pitch. It's about learning who you are again.

837
00:40:47.679 --> 00:40:50.079
<v Speaker 14>And for Walker, I think it's a bigger step because

838
00:40:50.480 --> 00:40:54.199
<v Speaker 14>he had such amazing stuff before, and he had such

839
00:40:54.199 --> 00:40:56.400
<v Speaker 14>a big ego when he was out there, and it's

840
00:40:56.440 --> 00:41:00.880
<v Speaker 14>sometimes now, with enough embarrassment and failure, his ego is

841
00:41:00.960 --> 00:41:02.920
<v Speaker 14>kind of checked at the door, and now he's using

842
00:41:02.960 --> 00:41:05.719
<v Speaker 14>his intelligence. We're talking about a kid who went to Vanderbilt, right,

843
00:41:05.760 --> 00:41:08.079
<v Speaker 14>and he could argue with you about almost any subject

844
00:41:08.119 --> 00:41:11.360
<v Speaker 14>and be right probably about any subject. So he's learning

845
00:41:11.760 --> 00:41:14.840
<v Speaker 14>through this process and it was really nice for him

846
00:41:14.840 --> 00:41:17.320
<v Speaker 14>to get results because I think those results are going

847
00:41:17.400 --> 00:41:19.639
<v Speaker 14>to not only be analyzed and he's going to see

848
00:41:19.679 --> 00:41:21.800
<v Speaker 14>what he did well and what he did poorly, but

849
00:41:21.920 --> 00:41:24.000
<v Speaker 14>I think it's going to all of a sudden create

850
00:41:24.039 --> 00:41:26.760
<v Speaker 14>a better path for him to know where success is.

851
00:41:27.199 --> 00:41:29.280
<v Speaker 14>And that's important for the Dodgers right now. There is

852
00:41:29.360 --> 00:41:32.639
<v Speaker 14>no silver lining to these injuries. I know, maybe some

853
00:41:32.719 --> 00:41:35.039
<v Speaker 14>of the silver that we're finding, like with Walker Bueller

854
00:41:35.079 --> 00:41:38.639
<v Speaker 14>or Flaherty or Yamamoto tonight, maybe that silver can turn

855
00:41:38.679 --> 00:41:41.360
<v Speaker 14>into gold in a World Series championship. But boy, were

856
00:41:41.480 --> 00:41:43.159
<v Speaker 14>getting we're walking on thin ice now.

857
00:41:43.199 --> 00:41:46.199
<v Speaker 10>As far as injuries, going back to Walker bueler ooral,

858
00:41:46.559 --> 00:41:49.119
<v Speaker 10>does it all of a sudden click for him because

859
00:41:49.239 --> 00:41:51.800
<v Speaker 10>last night we did see what you were describing more

860
00:41:51.840 --> 00:41:55.079
<v Speaker 10>of a pitcher. He used seven different pitches and was

861
00:41:55.119 --> 00:41:58.000
<v Speaker 10>able to not just try to bully with the fastball.

862
00:41:58.440 --> 00:41:58.679
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

863
00:41:58.920 --> 00:42:00.480
<v Speaker 14>I don't think you're going to see a bully with

864
00:42:00.519 --> 00:42:02.760
<v Speaker 14>the fastball. I think he needs to locate and get ahead.

865
00:42:02.800 --> 00:42:06.199
<v Speaker 14>It's about counts, it's about fundamentals of baseball and using

866
00:42:06.199 --> 00:42:08.679
<v Speaker 14>the stuff that he has. And I think the stuff

867
00:42:08.719 --> 00:42:11.239
<v Speaker 14>will get better once he gets the rhythm, once he

868
00:42:11.280 --> 00:42:14.159
<v Speaker 14>gets that this is who I am and not over trying.

869
00:42:14.559 --> 00:42:16.920
<v Speaker 14>You can see sometimes when the effort, all of a

870
00:42:16.960 --> 00:42:19.599
<v Speaker 14>sudden takes him away from some rhythm, which then takes

871
00:42:19.599 --> 00:42:22.639
<v Speaker 14>you away from location, which then takes you into bad counts,

872
00:42:22.639 --> 00:42:25.159
<v Speaker 14>which then leads to walks and leads to crooked numbers

873
00:42:25.199 --> 00:42:27.679
<v Speaker 14>and bad innings. And so you know, you give up

874
00:42:27.679 --> 00:42:30.519
<v Speaker 14>two runs in the third inning last night without having

875
00:42:30.559 --> 00:42:33.239
<v Speaker 14>the ball leave the infield. Gavin lux gets the ball

876
00:42:33.239 --> 00:42:35.079
<v Speaker 14>out of his glove. Maybe it's a different inning. And

877
00:42:35.079 --> 00:42:37.440
<v Speaker 14>I don't understand why that's called an infield hit and

878
00:42:37.480 --> 00:42:39.719
<v Speaker 14>on an error, because when you drop a ball as

879
00:42:39.760 --> 00:42:42.519
<v Speaker 14>an infielder or an outfielder, that's an error. If you

880
00:42:42.519 --> 00:42:45.119
<v Speaker 14>can't get it out of your glove, that's an error. Also,

881
00:42:45.280 --> 00:42:47.719
<v Speaker 14>it's kind of like hesitating on a throw or bobbling.

882
00:42:48.000 --> 00:42:51.239
<v Speaker 14>So I'm not against Gavin and the play as much

883
00:42:51.239 --> 00:42:54.480
<v Speaker 14>as thinking about Walker and what that out could have

884
00:42:54.519 --> 00:42:55.559
<v Speaker 14>been for his confidence.

885
00:42:56.119 --> 00:42:57.719
<v Speaker 6>Oral Herscheizer is our guest.

886
00:42:57.760 --> 00:43:00.840
<v Speaker 10>He's back in the saddle tonight with Joe Davis on Sportsnet.

887
00:43:01.000 --> 00:43:02.800
<v Speaker 6>La Yamamoto might.

888
00:43:02.679 --> 00:43:06.079
<v Speaker 10>Be the most important pitcher to the Dodgers in October.

889
00:43:06.159 --> 00:43:08.639
<v Speaker 10>Like you said, with all these injuries, what was the

890
00:43:08.639 --> 00:43:11.519
<v Speaker 10>biggest takeaway you saw from him at Dodgers Stadium the

891
00:43:11.599 --> 00:43:12.159
<v Speaker 10>last time.

892
00:43:12.840 --> 00:43:15.239
<v Speaker 14>You know, the swing and miss is just there. It's immaculate.

893
00:43:15.280 --> 00:43:17.280
<v Speaker 14>And for him to come back, there are guys that

894
00:43:17.320 --> 00:43:19.159
<v Speaker 14>can hit falling out of bed and not have to

895
00:43:19.159 --> 00:43:21.440
<v Speaker 14>go on rehab. He looked like the kind of pitcher

896
00:43:21.480 --> 00:43:23.880
<v Speaker 14>that didn't need rehab, even though the two rehabs starts

897
00:43:23.880 --> 00:43:26.800
<v Speaker 14>were really just exercise, not good stats at all, you know,

898
00:43:26.880 --> 00:43:30.000
<v Speaker 14>and he dominated in that outing, and I just think

899
00:43:30.039 --> 00:43:33.119
<v Speaker 14>that he's a tremendous talent. We've got to keep him healthy.

900
00:43:33.440 --> 00:43:35.440
<v Speaker 14>It's going to be interesting on the usage as we

901
00:43:35.519 --> 00:43:37.639
<v Speaker 14>go forward. I mean, you get him up to seventy

902
00:43:37.639 --> 00:43:39.599
<v Speaker 14>five pitches, maybe you get him up to one hundred

903
00:43:39.719 --> 00:43:42.039
<v Speaker 14>or just ninety in the next outing. But the key

904
00:43:42.159 --> 00:43:44.400
<v Speaker 14>is Otani is the headline with the.

905
00:43:44.360 --> 00:43:46.280
<v Speaker 3>Fifty to fifty chase. The Dodgers are.

906
00:43:46.159 --> 00:43:50.400
<v Speaker 14>A secondary headline with the National League West Chase. Each time,

907
00:43:50.519 --> 00:43:54.039
<v Speaker 14>each day, those headlines can shift. But every time Flaherty

908
00:43:54.079 --> 00:43:56.719
<v Speaker 14>takes the mound, Bueller takes the mound, Yamamoto takes the mount,

909
00:43:56.760 --> 00:43:59.599
<v Speaker 14>and even Knack now takes the mound. It becomes the

910
00:43:59.639 --> 00:44:00.719
<v Speaker 14>headline for this team.

911
00:44:00.800 --> 00:44:02.199
<v Speaker 1>So this is a.

912
00:44:02.079 --> 00:44:04.599
<v Speaker 14>Different year for the Dodgers and a different year as

913
00:44:04.599 --> 00:44:08.920
<v Speaker 14>a broadcaster for us because there's storylines right now. Before

914
00:44:08.960 --> 00:44:11.480
<v Speaker 14>it was like fifteen games up, they've already clinched. What

915
00:44:11.480 --> 00:44:14.760
<v Speaker 14>do we talk about Now We've got headlines and stories

916
00:44:14.840 --> 00:44:17.000
<v Speaker 14>and everything that we can talk about, and it's an

917
00:44:17.039 --> 00:44:18.039
<v Speaker 14>exciting time of year.

918
00:44:18.199 --> 00:44:20.239
<v Speaker 10>We've talked about it the last two years where the

919
00:44:20.320 --> 00:44:23.360
<v Speaker 10>five days of rest may have worked against the Dodgers.

920
00:44:23.760 --> 00:44:26.320
<v Speaker 10>How vital is it for them to get five days

921
00:44:26.320 --> 00:44:29.079
<v Speaker 10>of rest considering where their pitching staff is.

922
00:44:29.400 --> 00:44:32.360
<v Speaker 14>Yeah, they got to stay in front of a Milwaukee.

923
00:44:32.400 --> 00:44:34.840
<v Speaker 14>They've got the tiebreaker with Milwaukee, so that gives them

924
00:44:34.880 --> 00:44:36.920
<v Speaker 14>a little bit of cushion. Every game that we win

925
00:44:37.039 --> 00:44:39.280
<v Speaker 14>or every game that they lose makes it even better.

926
00:44:39.519 --> 00:44:41.519
<v Speaker 14>It's got to stay in front of San Diego. You've

927
00:44:41.559 --> 00:44:43.599
<v Speaker 14>got two races there, three and a half games with

928
00:44:43.639 --> 00:44:46.000
<v Speaker 14>San Diego. If you get to only three or two

929
00:44:46.079 --> 00:44:48.239
<v Speaker 14>and a half with them, they own the tiebreaker there

930
00:44:48.480 --> 00:44:50.400
<v Speaker 14>and you've got three games head to head. Could be

931
00:44:50.559 --> 00:44:53.119
<v Speaker 14>very very exciting. So there's a lot of baseball, a

932
00:44:53.159 --> 00:44:54.360
<v Speaker 14>lot of stories left.

933
00:44:54.519 --> 00:44:56.800
<v Speaker 10>All right or thanks a lot for the time. Today's

934

00:47:24.920 --> 00:47:27.840
<v Speaker 2>bit as he continues to get lengthened out here, hopefully

986

<v Speaker 2>first pitch. Rick Monday, Tim Never guys.

1004
00:48:30.840 --> 00:48:33.079
<v Speaker 4>Tim, thanks again, We're getting you ready for this one,

1005
00:48:33.159 --> 00:48:36.119
<v Speaker 4>the fourth and final game the Dodgers trying to salvage

1006
00:48:36.159 --> 00:48:39.719
<v Speaker 4>a split in this four game series with the Atlanta Braves.

1007
00:48:39.960 --> 00:48:42.840
<v Speaker 4>Yoshanoba Yamamoto makes the start six and two in an

1008
00:48:42.840 --> 00:48:46.119
<v Speaker 4>era of two seventy seven. His last time out, first

1009
00:48:46.119 --> 00:48:49.039
<v Speaker 4>time since the fifteenth of June in a Major League game,

1010
00:48:49.119 --> 00:48:52.159
<v Speaker 4>was against the Cubs. He was very good four innings,

1011
00:48:52.239 --> 00:48:54.880
<v Speaker 4>just allowed three hits, one earned run, but his splitter

1012
00:48:55.719 --> 00:48:57.360
<v Speaker 4>was absolutely terrific.

1013
00:48:57.440 --> 00:49:00.559
<v Speaker 7>It was off the charity. Also had eight strikeouts fifty

1014
00:49:00.639 --> 00:49:03.280
<v Speaker 7>nine pitches in those four innings that he works, So

1015
00:49:03.320 --> 00:49:05.440
<v Speaker 7>we'll see how he's going to work tonight. One thing

1016
00:49:05.480 --> 00:49:08.239
<v Speaker 7>to look at with Yamamoto if we include the entire

1017
00:49:08.320 --> 00:49:11.519
<v Speaker 7>season the first pitch that has been put in play

1018
00:49:11.559 --> 00:49:13.960
<v Speaker 7>in a bat, it's a very high batting average right

1019
00:49:13.960 --> 00:49:15.920
<v Speaker 7>at four hundred. We'll see how that splitter works and

1020
00:49:15.960 --> 00:49:17.440
<v Speaker 7>if he uses it early in counts.

1021
00:49:17.480 --> 00:49:21.639
<v Speaker 4>Tonight, Max Freed going for the Braves. Interesting thing about

1022
00:49:21.960 --> 00:49:25.559
<v Speaker 4>Freed is his splits. They are totally reversed. Left handers

1023
00:49:25.639 --> 00:49:28.119
<v Speaker 4>hitting much better than right handers against the south ball

1024
00:49:28.599 --> 00:49:31.400
<v Speaker 4>three point thirty one for left handed hitters against them.

1025
00:49:31.440 --> 00:49:34.480
<v Speaker 4>So keep an eye on Freddie Freeman and Max Munsey tonight.

1026
00:49:34.679 --> 00:49:37.480
<v Speaker 7>Yeah. And also he pitched against the Dodgers in LA

1027
00:49:37.679 --> 00:49:39.800
<v Speaker 7>on the fifth and May went seven innings, but he

1028
00:49:39.840 --> 00:49:41.760
<v Speaker 7>was tagged with a loss. Why well, they gave up

1029
00:49:41.760 --> 00:49:44.480
<v Speaker 7>a couple of home runs, including a first inning home

1030
00:49:44.559 --> 00:49:47.639
<v Speaker 7>run by shoh Otani that was on a hanging curveball

1031
00:49:48.199 --> 00:49:51.320
<v Speaker 7>and that was again a spot where Bens walked and

1032
00:49:51.320 --> 00:49:53.559
<v Speaker 7>then O'tani came back hit the second home run of

1033
00:49:53.599 --> 00:49:56.280
<v Speaker 7>the ball game. That was after Freed had left through seven.

1034
00:49:56.559 --> 00:49:58.960
<v Speaker 7>Johnny went three for three against Fred in that game.

1035
00:49:59.199 --> 00:50:01.159
<v Speaker 7>Freed making is twenty seventh start.

1036
00:50:01.840 --> 00:50:06.800
<v Speaker 4>Yamamoto making his sixteenth start Branson Dodgers wrapping up this series.

1037
00:50:06.920 --> 00:50:09.719
<v Speaker 4>Magic number to clinch the division is down to ten.

1038
00:50:10.159 --> 00:50:12.119
<v Speaker 2>All right, Yeah, Dodgers start the night eighty eight and

1039
00:50:12.199 --> 00:50:15.519
<v Speaker 2>sixty one is they take on the Braves. Meanwhile, the Brewers,

1040
00:50:15.559 --> 00:50:18.039
<v Speaker 2>who are two games back for the second overall spot

1041
00:50:18.039 --> 00:50:20.760
<v Speaker 2>in the National League, will play host to the Phillies

1042
