We'll send it out to Tim 22 00:01:02.560 --> 00:01:06.519 neverdey Rick Monday at the Galpin Motors Broadcast booth. Well, yesterday, 23 00:01:06.959 --> 00:01:11.640 Dustin May got the start, pitched really well, Unfortunately didn't 24 00:01:11.640 --> 00:01:15.439 get any help. Early in the second the Dodgers with 25 00:01:15.519 --> 00:01:19.799 a pair of airs from Mookie Betts and Miguel Rojas 26 00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:23.200 that led to two runs coming across for the Washington 27 00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:25.959 Nationals and they took the early two to nothing lead. 28 00:01:26.040 --> 00:01:28.319 The Dodgers zo were able to tie it in the 29 00:01:28.359 --> 00:01:31.439 third Chris Taylor single with two outs that turned the 30 00:01:31.480 --> 00:01:34.560 lineup over for sho hey Otani, who hit a home 31 00:01:34.680 --> 00:01:38.280 run to right field three hundred and seventy eight feet out, 32 00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:42.079 his fourth of the season, that tied the game at two. 33 00:01:42.200 --> 00:01:45.120 But the tide did not last long. At the bottom 34 00:01:45.159 --> 00:01:47.840 of the third, Dustin May gave up an RBI single 35 00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:50.400 that gave the Nationals the three to two lead. In 36 00:01:50.480 --> 00:01:53.519 the seventh, the Dodgers bullpen would get tagged for. 37 00:01:53.480 --> 00:01:54.319 A couple of runs. 38 00:01:54.400 --> 00:01:57.480 Anthony Bonda he gave up a couple, Matt sur a 39 00:01:57.519 --> 00:02:00.760 couple as the Nationals would take a sixth to lead. 40 00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:04.840 Going to the eighth innywhere the Dodgers offense finally warmed up. 41 00:02:04.879 --> 00:02:09.280 In refrigid Washington, DC, Mookie Betts got it going. 42 00:02:10.240 --> 00:02:13.400 Twenty two thousand and five hundred and forty six on 43 00:02:13.560 --> 00:02:17.240 hand tonight the Nationals Park, Game one, on this three 44 00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:21.080 game set, two to one pitch, Betts banks it in 45 00:02:21.159 --> 00:02:24.240 the center. That's a basic Confordo will turn third, he 46 00:02:24.360 --> 00:02:27.919 will score and bits with an RBI basin and it's 47 00:02:27.960 --> 00:02:28.680 six to three. 48 00:02:29.159 --> 00:02:32.039 The comeback kids making the comeback in the eighth inning, 49 00:02:32.039 --> 00:02:34.439 down six to two, making six to three on the 50 00:02:34.479 --> 00:02:37.800 Mookie Bets RBI single, and they still weren't done up. 51 00:02:37.919 --> 00:02:38.840 Came Will Smith. 52 00:02:39.599 --> 00:02:42.400 Now he throws and Smith hits it in the air 53 00:02:42.400 --> 00:02:45.120 to center field. That's a base hit. Bets will score. 54 00:02:45.719 --> 00:02:49.159 Edmund holds it second and on a two to two pitch, 55 00:02:49.840 --> 00:02:52.759 Will Smith fought off a splitter, dropped it into the 56 00:02:52.840 --> 00:02:55.919 center field. It is now six to four and the 57 00:02:56.000 --> 00:02:57.479 time run is on base. 58 00:02:57.800 --> 00:03:01.479 Will Smith with the RBI single, But the Dodgers threat 59 00:03:01.560 --> 00:03:04.680 would end as they could not push across any more 60 00:03:04.759 --> 00:03:07.360 runs they had runners on base. They end up losing 61 00:03:07.599 --> 00:03:10.960 six to four to the Washington Nationals, yet another game 62 00:03:11.000 --> 00:03:14.120 in which the Dodgers fell behind early tied, it fell 63 00:03:14.159 --> 00:03:17.719 behind again, but the comeback comes up short. Dustin May 64 00:03:17.759 --> 00:03:21.520 gets tagged with the loss despite six innings, three runs, 65 00:03:21.560 --> 00:03:24.599 only one of which was earned, three hits, a strikeout, 66 00:03:24.800 --> 00:03:28.240 eighty six pitches. McKenzie gore gets the win. He went 67 00:03:28.360 --> 00:03:31.599 six solids, striking out seven along the way. Dodgers fall 68 00:03:31.680 --> 00:03:34.199 to nine and three. They've now lost three of four 69 00:03:34.599 --> 00:03:37.120 on this East Coast road trip, but they look to 70 00:03:37.159 --> 00:03:40.960 turn things around this afternoon with Justin Robleski, the left tender, 71 00:03:41.199 --> 00:03:42.000 getting the start. 72 00:03:42.159 --> 00:03:43.080 With more we head out to the. 73 00:03:43.080 --> 00:03:46.080 Galloping Motors broadcast booth as we welcome in Tip Neffert 74 00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:46.759 and Rick Monday. 75 00:03:46.800 --> 00:03:47.319 Guys. 76 00:03:47.520 --> 00:03:52.000 Thanks, Tim. Sun's out this afternoon here in Washington, d C. 77 00:03:52.639 --> 00:03:55.879 But the temperatures are down, so the sun's up, temperatures down, 78 00:03:55.919 --> 00:03:58.039 and it is pretty windy down there on the field 79 00:03:58.479 --> 00:04:02.080 as the Dodgers will take on the Washington Nationals in 80 00:04:02.120 --> 00:04:04.479 Game two. There's three games series. Dodgers have lost two 81 00:04:04.520 --> 00:04:06.919 of the last three, three of the last four, and 82 00:04:07.000 --> 00:04:10.800 there are now nine and three on the season. As 83 00:04:11.319 --> 00:04:14.680 Justin Robleski will be activated today and the left Hander 84 00:04:14.719 --> 00:04:16.920 will pitch against Brad Lord and what will turn out 85 00:04:16.920 --> 00:04:19.720 to be a bullpen game for the Nationals. The national 86 00:04:19.759 --> 00:04:22.560 will start the day at four and six and Mo 87 00:04:22.839 --> 00:04:25.279 it is really breezy. It doesn't look at from up 88 00:04:25.319 --> 00:04:27.879 here in our elevated perch, but you're down on the field, 89 00:04:27.959 --> 00:04:31.240 it is cold. It is very windy, and that can 90 00:04:31.279 --> 00:04:32.959 make for some tough condition. 91 00:04:32.759 --> 00:04:35.040 You know, Tim, just thinking about the win, I'm not 92 00:04:35.199 --> 00:04:37.319 certain that even down in the field, the players will 93 00:04:37.360 --> 00:04:40.920 know exactly which way to compensate for balls they're hitting 94 00:04:40.920 --> 00:04:42.920 in the air. Here's the reason I say that this 95 00:04:43.000 --> 00:04:46.920 stadium is located well below street level, as we can 96 00:04:46.959 --> 00:04:49.439 look out in left field and we can actually see 97 00:04:49.480 --> 00:04:51.680 the street level as people are coming in. The other 98 00:04:51.680 --> 00:04:53.879 part too, is all the buildings around. Plus you have 99 00:04:53.959 --> 00:04:56.959 the stands. I'm not certain the areas that there may 100 00:04:57.079 --> 00:04:59.519 or may not be wind tunnels, which areas are going 101 00:04:59.560 --> 00:05:02.279 to be blowing in one direction versus the other. If 102 00:05:02.279 --> 00:05:04.399 we look at the flags atop the scoreboard in right 103 00:05:04.480 --> 00:05:07.480 center field, it shows that the winds coming in from 104 00:05:07.519 --> 00:05:10.279 the left field corner really towards the second base bag. 105 00:05:10.600 --> 00:05:11.800 What is doing on the field. 106 00:05:12.040 --> 00:05:14.720 Good luck, guys, and as a player, as the night 107 00:05:14.759 --> 00:05:17.120 goes on and the temperature drops this time of the year, 108 00:05:17.160 --> 00:05:19.279 this part of the country, how do you handle that 109 00:05:19.360 --> 00:05:22.120 as a player when you're in the dugout, and how 110 00:05:22.120 --> 00:05:23.000 do you not stiffing them? 111 00:05:23.160 --> 00:05:25.399 What I did notice is it some of the players 112 00:05:25.439 --> 00:05:27.519 even in last night's ball game, when they came into 113 00:05:27.519 --> 00:05:29.959 the dugout, I mean, they were putting jackets on. The 114 00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:32.120 Other part too, is there's some heaters down there. What 115 00:05:32.240 --> 00:05:34.079 were they putting in front of some of the heaters 116 00:05:34.480 --> 00:05:37.120 their gloves to try and keep them a little bit warm. 117 00:05:37.160 --> 00:05:39.920 On top of it, and quite frankly, the Dodgers' gloves 118 00:05:40.000 --> 00:05:42.639 need to warm up because they had not really been 119 00:05:42.720 --> 00:05:44.079 spectacular in this road track. 120 00:05:44.199 --> 00:05:46.720 Oh, a tough night last night. Errors by Mookie Batsan 121 00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:49.720 Miguel Rojas led to two runs and the Dodgers would 122 00:05:49.759 --> 00:05:52.680 lose that ballgame by two runs, six to four. So 123 00:05:52.720 --> 00:05:55.360 it's a night time to get back on the winning track. 124 00:05:55.839 --> 00:05:58.360 And they'll try to do it with Andy Paiez back 125 00:05:58.360 --> 00:06:00.839 in the lineup. He'll hit eighth, Austin Barnes will do 126 00:06:00.879 --> 00:06:01.279 the catch up. 127 00:06:01.360 --> 00:06:03.399 Yeah, here's something else we'll talk about during the ball game. 128 00:06:03.439 --> 00:06:08.519 I refer a lot to runners in scoring opportunities because 129 00:06:08.959 --> 00:06:11.319 the chance to do some scoring. Well. On this road trip, 130 00:06:11.360 --> 00:06:14.279 the Dodgers have had a total and in the four 131 00:06:14.279 --> 00:06:16.680 games they're totally just fifteen at bats with runners in 132 00:06:16.720 --> 00:06:21.639 scoring position. The opposing teams have had thirty two different opportunities. 133 00:06:22.040 --> 00:06:25.240 If you weigh those opportunities, you would say, well, the 134 00:06:25.279 --> 00:06:28.360 opposing team has a better edge. Well, the Dodgers are 135 00:06:29.199 --> 00:06:31.720 one and three on this road trip, so that's exactly 136 00:06:31.720 --> 00:06:33.199 how it's stacked up to this point. 137 00:06:33.480 --> 00:06:35.360 Nationals have a bit of an edge right now. They've 138 00:06:35.480 --> 00:06:38.079 won three straight. They won two in a row by 139 00:06:38.120 --> 00:06:41.879 a run each against the Arizona Diamondbacks before the Dodgers 140 00:06:41.920 --> 00:06:45.319 came in. So the Nationals two games under five hundred 141 00:06:45.319 --> 00:06:47.639 after a one and six start, they're four and six. 142 00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:51.920 So justin Robleski making his twenty twenty five debut, Brad 143 00:06:52.079 --> 00:06:55.959 Lord will get the start out of the bullpen. Basically, 144 00:06:56.240 --> 00:06:59.279 the twenty five year old out of Tallahassee, Florida will 145 00:06:59.279 --> 00:07:02.079 get the nod on on the hill for the Washington Nationals. 146 00:07:02.160 --> 00:07:07.680 Nationals Dodgers Game two coming up from windy and cold Washington, DC. 147 00:07:07.879 --> 00:07:08.040 Too. 148 00:07:08.199 --> 00:07:09.920 All right, thank you guys, As we cut you down 149 00:07:09.959 --> 00:07:12.600 the first pitch.

It is 200 00:09:40.720 --> 00:09:43.360 Wendy Hereson, isn't it. 201 00:09:43.360 --> 00:09:45.720 It is so cold, Tim, I mean, look at here 202 00:09:45.799 --> 00:09:49.639 are what sixteen to sixteen miles p hour just wins normal. 203 00:09:50.360 --> 00:09:53.320 Then you've got thirty miles pour gusts that are coming through. 204 00:09:53.360 --> 00:09:56.600 And talking to Gil Rojas earlier, the guys are hitting 205 00:09:56.600 --> 00:10:00.360 off with velocity. They we're seeing just the ball is 206 00:10:00.360 --> 00:10:03.759 a moving coming out of the picture's hand. So obviously 207 00:10:03.759 --> 00:10:05.600 most of just already have their own type of moment. 208 00:10:05.720 --> 00:10:07.840 Add the win to that, you definitely have to keep 209 00:10:07.840 --> 00:10:11.840 an eye on that. Offensively, and talking to my from 210 00:10:11.960 --> 00:10:14.799 Florida and he was saying, it's more you just have 211 00:10:14.840 --> 00:10:17.960 to stay on your toes and stay ready because that 212 00:10:18.159 --> 00:10:21.159 any point, adductive win or the ball could just change direction. 213 00:10:21.799 --> 00:10:25.039 So that's the biggest thing for them. It did say 214 00:10:25.639 --> 00:10:28.519 you could try to use the win to your advantage. 215 00:10:28.559 --> 00:10:32.360 But how is blowing out It's more towards like right 216 00:10:32.480 --> 00:10:36.200 field right now. If it was blowing towards more back 217 00:10:36.399 --> 00:10:38.120 like towards the boutfield, then you could be in a 218 00:10:38.120 --> 00:10:40.600 better position. But it did say they don't think it'll 219 00:10:40.600 --> 00:10:44.600 be too intimate advantage in that sense of just putting 220 00:10:44.639 --> 00:10:46.159 the ball in the air, letting it kind of go 221 00:10:46.240 --> 00:10:47.039 with the wings. 222 00:10:47.320 --> 00:10:49.840 Well, one guy hoping to win helps him out tonight 223 00:10:50.120 --> 00:10:52.320 is Justin Robleski, who gets to start. 224 00:10:53.360 --> 00:10:56.879 Yeah, he sure is, And Dave Roberts was saying for 225 00:10:57.120 --> 00:11:00.799 Justin he obviously last year we saw just major league 226 00:11:00.840 --> 00:11:04.879 debut and had some really strong starts and some strong 227 00:11:04.919 --> 00:11:07.159 outings from the back end, just kind of had to 228 00:11:07.200 --> 00:11:10.080 wear a few things and things weren't going as lovey 229 00:11:10.080 --> 00:11:15.840 as hope. So coming into that, he got into the 230 00:11:15.879 --> 00:11:19.519 sixth inning and it was fantastic. He comes into this 231 00:11:19.559 --> 00:11:22.919 one just the different mindset coming into this year, more confident, 232 00:11:23.480 --> 00:11:27.000 more understanding it is the talent stuff plays, particularly lovetape, and 233 00:11:27.399 --> 00:11:30.600 you know he's realized he just bully big lead hitters 234 00:11:30.600 --> 00:11:31.960 at the basketball. He's going to have to lean on 235 00:11:32.000 --> 00:11:35.159 his secondary stuff. Maybe has that tonight, then they do 236 00:11:35.320 --> 00:11:38.600 suspect that he could have a really quality just first 237 00:11:38.600 --> 00:11:41.440 start of the season the big leagues, and potentially it's 238 00:11:41.440 --> 00:11:43.360 some more to come, especially with Blake's helping on the 239 00:11:43.360 --> 00:11:43.720 eye out. 240 00:11:43.799 --> 00:11:45.919 Now, yeah, they're going to need these young arms more 241 00:11:45.960 --> 00:11:49.200 than ever this year. Already here in April, Justin Rolbleski 242 00:11:49.240 --> 00:11:50.159 being called upon kist. 243 00:11:50.279 --> 00:11:51.919 We appreciate it.

Clayton Kershaw through a 266 00:12:57.000 --> 00:13:00.320 bullpen sho yesterday in Washington, DC. He is only on 267 00:13:00.360 --> 00:13:02.840 the sixty day IL. All right, let's back out to 268 00:13:02.919 --> 00:13:07.679 Nationals Park and check out with the Dodgers. Gipper questions 269 00:13:07.679 --> 00:13:08.279 for Dave Dave? 270 00:13:08.399 --> 00:13:10.200 Can you just describe Dave? 271 00:13:10.279 --> 00:13:12.720 Can you talk about the pressure in. 272 00:13:12.759 --> 00:13:16.559 The dugouts with Dave Robbers Dave First? 273 00:13:16.600 --> 00:13:19.200 Just Jessa Robleski. He's got the start today. I know 274 00:13:19.240 --> 00:13:21.279 how he ended last year was a tough one, but 275 00:13:21.720 --> 00:13:24.039 to see how impressive he was this spring, how have 276 00:13:24.080 --> 00:13:26.399 you seen him just develop and evolve as a big 277 00:13:26.519 --> 00:13:28.039 league pitcher? And what are you hoping to see with 278 00:13:28.120 --> 00:13:31.720 him with this experience today, he's grown. 279 00:13:31.960 --> 00:13:34.559 You know, I think that most young players I like 280 00:13:34.639 --> 00:13:37.919 this stuff. It's a good fastball. I think the thing 281 00:13:37.960 --> 00:13:42.960 with Justin is he's understanding how to use his secondary 282 00:13:43.039 --> 00:13:47.000 pitches to kind of keep guys major league hitters off 283 00:13:47.039 --> 00:13:51.799 balance and not trying to always overpower them. This is 284 00:13:51.840 --> 00:13:54.600 a young ball club that swings the bats, they put 285 00:13:54.600 --> 00:13:57.039 the ball in play, and so it's gonna be a 286 00:13:57.039 --> 00:13:59.360 good challenge and we got to play good defense behind him. 287 00:13:59.720 --> 00:14:02.120 But you know, I think he should have a good 288 00:14:02.159 --> 00:14:05.200 one if his secondary is where it needs to be. 289 00:14:05.279 --> 00:14:08.600 Speaking of defense, just a handful of errors in the 290 00:14:08.679 --> 00:14:11.440 last few games. Do you think it's just something that 291 00:14:11.480 --> 00:14:13.440 it's early in the season. I know you've talked about 292 00:14:13.440 --> 00:14:15.240 wanting to clean up a few things, but it does 293 00:14:15.279 --> 00:14:18.639 seem it's a bit uncharacteristic of just this the makeup 294 00:14:18.679 --> 00:14:20.200 of this team it is. 295 00:14:20.480 --> 00:14:26.840 It's a little disconcerting given the talent level the way 296 00:14:26.879 --> 00:14:30.039 our guys work. But you know, I think baseball, I 297 00:14:30.080 --> 00:14:34.000 guess at some points it is cyclical with certain things, 298 00:14:34.080 --> 00:14:38.679 and right now we're just not playing clean defensively. But 299 00:14:39.279 --> 00:14:41.320 I do think it's going to change. It'll get better 300 00:14:42.039 --> 00:14:44.039 and again, like I said, it's just not from lack 301 00:14:44.080 --> 00:14:45.200 of preparational work. 302 00:14:45.600 --> 00:14:47.879 All right, there's Dave Roberts talking about the defense and 303 00:14:47.919 --> 00:14:50.480 needs to improve. It has cost him on this road 304 00:14:50.480 --> 00:14:53.679 trip so far big time. Yesterday early on we continue 305 00:14:53.720 --> 00:14:54.039 here on. 306 00:14:54.039 --> 00:14:54.679 Dodgers on Deck. 307 00:14:54.679 --> 00:14:56.600 We'll check in with David Vase, so we get to 308 00:14:56.639 --> 00:14:58.799 the latest Nationals Park because we leave you up the 309 00:14:58.840 --> 00:15:01.000 first pitch on this Tuesday. I'm Tim Kats's, the world 310 00:15:01.080 --> 00:15:06.320 champion Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network. 311 00:15:06.519 --> 00:15:12.600 This is Marongo Casino, Dodgers on tach on your home 312 00:15:12.679 --> 00:15:14.559 for the Blue All Season Law. 313 00:15:15.480 --> 00:15:16.919 It's the Dodgers and Nationals. 314 00:15:17.039 --> 00:15:20.120 Justin Robuski, Brad Lord the pitching matchup, first pitch coming 315 00:15:20.200 --> 00:15:21.399 up at three forty. 316 00:15:21.159 --> 00:15:25.840 Five, joining Tim Kits on Dodgers on Tack. 317 00:15:25.919 --> 00:15:27.679 I accept everybody for who they are. 318 00:15:27.799 --> 00:15:31.320 This is Dodger inside there, David Basse. 319 00:15:31.399 --> 00:15:34.919 Alright, DV. It's the East Coast. It's April. It's not hot. 320 00:15:35.000 --> 00:15:37.799 It's pretty cold out there, right. Yeah. 321 00:15:37.879 --> 00:15:41.519 When you see the scene here at Nationals Park, you 322 00:15:41.519 --> 00:15:44.519 would think it was eighty degrees a beautiful day here 323 00:15:45.000 --> 00:15:46.000 in late March. 324 00:15:46.120 --> 00:15:47.240 But that's not the case. 325 00:15:47.279 --> 00:15:49.759 There's not a cloud in the sky, but temperatures are 326 00:15:49.799 --> 00:15:53.559 going to dip into the high thirties once the sun 327 00:15:53.639 --> 00:15:57.240 goes down, So this is not the ideal condition to 328 00:15:57.320 --> 00:16:00.200 play baseball, even though it's not as wet as it 329 00:16:00.320 --> 00:16:03.759 was yesterday. Right now with the sun shining and the 330 00:16:03.799 --> 00:16:07.320 ground screw getting the field ready, it's about forty degrees 331 00:16:07.399 --> 00:16:11.200 right now at Nationals Park with the wind blowing from 332 00:16:11.399 --> 00:16:16.720 left to right into center fields, so it's going to 333 00:16:16.799 --> 00:16:21.960 be It may look like there's no weather issues affecting 334 00:16:21.960 --> 00:16:24.639 the way guys are playing, but certainly this is going 335 00:16:24.679 --> 00:16:27.559 to be a very cold game played Game two of 336 00:16:27.600 --> 00:16:28.759 this three game series. 337 00:16:28.919 --> 00:16:30.759 David is driven by four. If there's one thing we like, 338 00:16:30.840 --> 00:16:33.039 it's choices, fine yours. With the Ford F one fifty 339 00:16:33.200 --> 00:16:35.720 gas hybrid, all electric tough, this march can only be 340 00:16:35.799 --> 00:16:37.879 called F one fifty. We all went on that middle 341 00:16:37.879 --> 00:16:41.240 school Washington, DC sight seeing trip when we were a younger. 342 00:16:41.320 --> 00:16:43.360 DV and some of the Dodger players they went to 343 00:16:43.399 --> 00:16:45.039 the White House yesterday and they kind of kept that 344 00:16:45.080 --> 00:16:46.879 theme going today with the tourism. 345 00:16:46.559 --> 00:16:50.799 Huh yeah, and they kept the World Series trophy on 346 00:16:50.879 --> 00:16:54.799 the tour of our nation's capital today. They went to 347 00:16:54.840 --> 00:16:58.080 go see the California Senators at Capitol Hill. 348 00:16:58.159 --> 00:16:59.559 Tyler Glass now Will. 349 00:16:59.440 --> 00:17:04.799 Smith Roberts were among the Dodgers ownership led by Mark 350 00:17:04.839 --> 00:17:08.519 Walter and Stan Casten, so they took the trophy there. 351 00:17:08.680 --> 00:17:12.000 Obviously the whole team did not go. That's that's a 352 00:17:12.039 --> 00:17:16.160 special thing for the White House. But yeah, maybe this 353 00:17:16.279 --> 00:17:19.359 closes the book on the victory tour of the twenty 354 00:17:19.400 --> 00:17:20.839 twenty four World Series. 355 00:17:21.240 --> 00:17:24.000 Justin Robleski goes for the Dodgers, called up from Triple A. 356 00:17:24.039 --> 00:17:25.880 He had a really good spring and a good start 357 00:17:25.880 --> 00:17:28.319 in Triple A. Has started in Oklahoma City. But DV 358 00:17:28.960 --> 00:17:32.079 Brad Lurd, this starter for the Washington Nationals got kind 359 00:17:32.079 --> 00:17:32.920 of a fun background. 360 00:17:34.039 --> 00:17:34.759 Yeah, how about this? 361 00:17:34.880 --> 00:17:38.279 During this past offseason he was working at home depot 362 00:17:38.400 --> 00:17:41.720 to make extra money as a minor league pitcher. And 363 00:17:41.839 --> 00:17:45.000 here he is three games into his major league career 364 00:17:45.359 --> 00:17:48.920 and making his first ever career start against Sho Hao Tani, 365 00:17:49.079 --> 00:17:52.279 Mookie Betts and the rest of the world champion Dodgers. 366 00:17:52.359 --> 00:17:55.680 If that's not a Cinderella story, I'm not sure what is. 367 00:17:55.799 --> 00:17:58.440 And we'll see what he has. But he really isn't 368 00:17:58.440 --> 00:18:01.359 going to go that far because he has been pitching 369 00:18:01.359 --> 00:18:04.599 out of the bullpen, so the reports around the Nationals 370 00:18:04.640 --> 00:18:07.519 are that he's going to be limited to forty five 371 00:18:07.640 --> 00:18:11.759 to fifty pitches and you won't see Kyle Finnigan likely 372 00:18:11.920 --> 00:18:14.160 at the end of the game.
