<v Speaker 3>In the Gallpin Motors Broadcast booth.

28
00:01:22.439 --> 00:01:25.560
<v Speaker 2>And on Wednesday, in our nation's capital, the Dodgers wrapped

29
00:01:25.640 --> 00:01:28.959
<v Speaker 2>up their road trip looking to avoid getting swept by

30
00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:29.840
<v Speaker 2>the Nationals.

31
00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:31.439
<v Speaker 3>Landon Knack got the start.

32
00:01:31.799 --> 00:01:34.239
<v Speaker 2>He wouldn't go very far, but he got some early

33
00:01:34.439 --> 00:01:38.239
<v Speaker 2>run support. Tommy Edmond a two run triple, the Dodgers

34
00:01:38.280 --> 00:01:41.840
<v Speaker 2>led two to nothing, and then ty Oscar Hernandez double.

35
00:01:41.920 --> 00:01:45.760
<v Speaker 4>That toy Oscar hitch one deep to the left center

36
00:01:45.760 --> 00:01:48.159
<v Speaker 4>field alley. That ball's gonna get out of here.

37
00:01:48.280 --> 00:01:49.280
<v Speaker 5>That's gone.

38
00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:53.359
<v Speaker 4>First row home run for Tioscar Hernandez, a two run

39
00:01:53.439 --> 00:01:54.840
<v Speaker 4>shot of the Dodgers.

40
00:01:54.480 --> 00:01:55.560
<v Speaker 5>Lead at Ford to nothing.

41
00:01:56.799 --> 00:02:00.280
<v Speaker 6>Four batters up, four runners have scored.

42
00:02:00.519 --> 00:02:02.480
<v Speaker 3>Dodgers with a four to nothing lead.

43
00:02:02.599 --> 00:02:05.560
<v Speaker 2>On the ta Oscar Hernandez two run home run, his

44
00:02:05.719 --> 00:02:09.879
<v Speaker 2>fifth of this season. However, Landon Knack would have his problems.

45
00:02:09.879 --> 00:02:13.120
<v Speaker 2>In the first inning, he would give up three runs.

46
00:02:13.719 --> 00:02:16.759
<v Speaker 2>In the third inning, the Dodgers starter would end up

47
00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:20.080
<v Speaker 2>giving up two more as the Nationals took a five

48
00:02:20.120 --> 00:02:23.800
<v Speaker 2>to four lead. The Dodgers' bullpen went to work. Jack Dryer,

49
00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:27.759
<v Speaker 2>Anthony Bonda, Kirby Yates, Tenner, Scott Alex Vesia, and Blake

50
00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:31.599
<v Speaker 2>Trinon went six and two third shutout innings, allowed just

51
00:02:31.759 --> 00:02:34.879
<v Speaker 2>one hit, struck out seven along the way. They kept

52
00:02:34.919 --> 00:02:38.000
<v Speaker 2>the Nationals at five while the Dodgers trailed all the

53
00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:40.719
<v Speaker 2>way until the seventh inning, where they finally got to

54
00:02:40.800 --> 00:02:44.479
<v Speaker 2>the Nationals bullpen. Andy Pajez club to a home run

55
00:02:44.520 --> 00:02:47.240
<v Speaker 2>to left that tied the game at five. Then later

56
00:02:47.400 --> 00:02:49.280
<v Speaker 2>ta Oscar Hernandez would give him the lead.

57
00:02:49.960 --> 00:02:53.840
<v Speaker 4>Ready for the two pitch even Stay's put swang on

58
00:02:53.919 --> 00:02:55.960
<v Speaker 4>an a line drive into right field of base hitd

59
00:02:56.000 --> 00:02:59.400
<v Speaker 4>On Tony Scores, touching second and turning heading for third

60
00:02:59.439 --> 00:03:02.719
<v Speaker 4>as Head and tai Oscar Hernandez with two outs and

61
00:03:02.759 --> 00:03:06.560
<v Speaker 4>two strikes give the Dodgers a six to five lead.

62
00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:10.599
<v Speaker 6>I'll tell you what tim In this inning, Andy Pajes,

63
00:03:10.680 --> 00:03:13.439
<v Speaker 6>with one out was down no balls and two strikes.

64
00:03:13.479 --> 00:03:15.240
<v Speaker 6>You got a slider, hit it for a home run

65
00:03:16.280 --> 00:03:19.560
<v Speaker 6>and for Tascar Hernandez down in the count zero to two,

66
00:03:19.759 --> 00:03:22.000
<v Speaker 6>he got a pitch to hit them. Knocks in the

67
00:03:22.039 --> 00:03:22.759
<v Speaker 6>go ahead run.

68
00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:26.479
<v Speaker 2>Harby I single for tay Oscar. Dodgers up six to five.

69
00:03:26.639 --> 00:03:29.319
<v Speaker 2>Going to the bottom of the seventh, Tanner Scott's would

70
00:03:29.360 --> 00:03:31.840
<v Speaker 2>have a one two to three inning. Alex Vesia would

71
00:03:31.919 --> 00:03:35.319
<v Speaker 2>work around a walk in the eighth. Blake trying it

72
00:03:35.360 --> 00:03:37.800
<v Speaker 2>had runners on first and third with two outs, but

73
00:03:37.840 --> 00:03:40.400
<v Speaker 2>got out of it with the ground ball out. Dodgers

74
00:03:40.439 --> 00:03:44.199
<v Speaker 2>come back and beat the Nationals on Wednesday, six to five.

75
00:03:44.240 --> 00:03:46.800
<v Speaker 2>The top tier play the game, brought to by Arco quality,

76
00:03:46.960 --> 00:03:49.599
<v Speaker 2>top tier gas for Lass. Kirby Yates was top tier.

77
00:03:49.800 --> 00:03:52.199
<v Speaker 2>He gets to win. Blake trying to his second loss

78
00:03:52.439 --> 00:03:55.479
<v Speaker 2>or second save. That is of this season. The Dodgers

79
00:03:55.479 --> 00:03:58.280
<v Speaker 2>bullpen can't say it enough. They were fantastic for nearly

80
00:03:58.400 --> 00:04:02.080
<v Speaker 2>seven innings of relief on Wednesday. Dodgers get the win,

81
00:04:02.199 --> 00:04:04.719
<v Speaker 2>they salvage the series in Washington, d C.

82
00:04:04.960 --> 00:04:05.840
<v Speaker 3>They're now ten and.

83
00:04:05.879 --> 00:04:08.080
<v Speaker 2>Four on the year, and they're back home on this

84
00:04:08.199 --> 00:04:10.879
<v Speaker 2>Friday night to start a three game series against the

85
00:04:11.000 --> 00:04:14.039
<v Speaker 2>Chicago Cubs Yoshi Yamamoto on the mound, and with more

86
00:04:14.240 --> 00:04:16.839
<v Speaker 2>we head out to the Galpin Motors broadcast booth as

87
00:04:16.839 --> 00:04:20.199
<v Speaker 2>we say hello Steven Nelson and Rick Monday, guys.

88
00:04:20.360 --> 00:04:22.879
<v Speaker 3>Excutive Kate's great to hear your voice of greing. Great

89
00:04:22.879 --> 00:04:23.160
<v Speaker 3>to be.

90
00:04:23.199 --> 00:04:25.160
<v Speaker 7>Back next to you, Rick Monday, and I know the

91
00:04:25.199 --> 00:04:29.240
<v Speaker 7>Dodgers thinking great to be back home. A similar climate

92
00:04:29.279 --> 00:04:34.800
<v Speaker 7>to what you guys experienced in Philly and in DC. No,

93
00:04:34.879 --> 00:04:36.839
<v Speaker 7>but in all seriousness, it was not a great roach

94
00:04:36.959 --> 00:04:39.519
<v Speaker 7>for the Dodgers. But they come home where they're still unbeaten,

95
00:04:39.600 --> 00:04:41.959
<v Speaker 7>and more than that mode, they get Freddy Freeman back.

96
00:04:42.040 --> 00:04:42.240
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

97
00:04:42.800 --> 00:04:45.720
<v Speaker 6>Big. How about timing? I was thinking this today because

98
00:04:45.920 --> 00:04:48.399
<v Speaker 6>they started to line up very very early at Dodgers

99
00:04:48.399 --> 00:04:51.000
<v Speaker 6>Stadium to try and get into the gates, either driving

100
00:04:51.040 --> 00:04:54.040
<v Speaker 6>in or walking in. And so if Freddie Freeman comes

101
00:04:54.079 --> 00:04:56.639
<v Speaker 6>off the injured list with his ankle, that's a great news.

102
00:04:57.079 --> 00:04:59.720
<v Speaker 6>How about the timing, though, this is Freddie Freeman bobblehead

103
00:04:59.800 --> 00:05:03.639
<v Speaker 6>now I'm talking about. Timing is absolutely perfect. That's exactly

104
00:05:03.680 --> 00:05:06.199
<v Speaker 6>what we're looking at. But guess it's nice to have

105
00:05:06.240 --> 00:05:09.079
<v Speaker 6>a ballgame where you say, hey, overcoats are optional, and

106
00:05:09.160 --> 00:05:11.879
<v Speaker 6>that's the case tonight because it was chili and if

107
00:05:11.920 --> 00:05:14.879
<v Speaker 6>you look at the biggest picture, the Dodgers have played

108
00:05:14.959 --> 00:05:18.120
<v Speaker 6>rather chilly. Dave Roberts I've used this term before. Dave

109
00:05:18.199 --> 00:05:22.240
<v Speaker 6>Roberts talks a lot about playing clean games where the offense,

110
00:05:22.319 --> 00:05:25.279
<v Speaker 6>the defense, and the pitching really kind of goes smoothly.

111
00:05:25.399 --> 00:05:27.160
<v Speaker 6>They didn't have too many of those opportunities on the

112
00:05:27.240 --> 00:05:27.600
<v Speaker 6>road trip.

113
00:05:27.920 --> 00:05:31.040
<v Speaker 7>No, no, And honestly, and in that eight and no start,

114
00:05:31.079 --> 00:05:33.800
<v Speaker 7>it was awesome, it was so much fun. But really

115
00:05:33.839 --> 00:05:36.399
<v Speaker 7>the home runs were masking a lot of the deficiencies

116
00:05:36.879 --> 00:05:39.959
<v Speaker 7>that we've seen them seem bite them consistently through this year,

117
00:05:40.079 --> 00:05:42.040
<v Speaker 7>especially on that road trip. They're getting away with it

118
00:05:42.079 --> 00:05:43.959
<v Speaker 7>in the early going because of the home runs they

119
00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:46.519
<v Speaker 7>were not on the road trip, especially against a great

120
00:05:46.519 --> 00:05:47.120
<v Speaker 7>team like Philly.

121
00:05:47.279 --> 00:05:49.240
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I mean the Dodgers, of you know, one of

122
00:05:49.279 --> 00:05:52.079
<v Speaker 6>the things that they really need to do, and Yoshinobu

123
00:05:52.120 --> 00:05:55.399
<v Speaker 6>Yamamoto is starting tonight, is to stretch it out a

124
00:05:55.439 --> 00:05:58.839
<v Speaker 6>little bit more because the Dodgers' starters have not gone

125
00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:02.959
<v Speaker 6>deep into game. They're averaging four in the third innings.

126
00:06:03.000 --> 00:06:05.279
<v Speaker 6>That's the fewest in the National League. The cups come

127
00:06:05.319 --> 00:06:09.399
<v Speaker 6>in the surprising Chicago Cubs. I mean, you look at it,

128
00:06:09.439 --> 00:06:12.720
<v Speaker 6>they're leading the Central Visions. Things got underway today. Their

129
00:06:12.759 --> 00:06:16.199
<v Speaker 6>pitching has been terrific. They have scored more runs coming

130
00:06:16.240 --> 00:06:18.759
<v Speaker 6>into today's ball game than any other team in Major

131
00:06:18.839 --> 00:06:20.959
<v Speaker 6>League Baseball. And who would have put their name at

132
00:06:20.959 --> 00:06:23.439
<v Speaker 6>the top of the list. Yes, it's early, but still

133
00:06:23.600 --> 00:06:26.040
<v Speaker 6>they're nine and six and really feeling their oats. And

134
00:06:26.079 --> 00:06:28.279
<v Speaker 6>that's after getting swept in the Tokyo Series.

135
00:06:28.279 --> 00:06:31.360
<v Speaker 7>The Dodgers outscored the Cups ten to four in that set,

136
00:06:31.439 --> 00:06:33.639
<v Speaker 7>and then they have like a pretty grueling start to

137
00:06:33.680 --> 00:06:36.639
<v Speaker 7>the year travel wise, but they have really started clicking

138
00:06:36.639 --> 00:06:39.519
<v Speaker 7>of late, especially the prize trade acquisition this past offseason

139
00:06:39.560 --> 00:06:41.319
<v Speaker 7>Kyle Tucker, formerly.

140
00:06:41.000 --> 00:06:42.160
<v Speaker 6>Of the Houston Astros.

141
00:06:42.720 --> 00:06:46.120
<v Speaker 7>But Yoshinoba Yamamoto will get the ball tonight in Gosh

142
00:06:46.199 --> 00:06:48.480
<v Speaker 7>is he the perfect guy again to get back to

143
00:06:48.519 --> 00:06:51.199
<v Speaker 7>your point about timing, He's the perfect guy that Dodgers

144
00:06:51.240 --> 00:06:53.800
<v Speaker 7>can throw out there tonight opposite Matthew Boyd. Will dive

145
00:06:53.800 --> 00:06:55.560
<v Speaker 7>into that pitching matchup when we talk to you again

146
00:06:55.639 --> 00:06:56.319
<v Speaker 7>a little bit later.

147
00:06:56.360 --> 00:06:56.560
<v Speaker 6>TC.

148
00:06:56.759 --> 00:06:59.199
<v Speaker 3>All right, thank you. Nelly has been getting down the

149
00:06:59.199 --> 00:06:59.800

<v Speaker 3>That's Cars with the K to donate your car here soon.

189
00:09:04.600 --> 00:09:08.440
<v Speaker 2>It's all about Freddie Freeman on this Friday Bobblehead night,

190
00:09:08.600 --> 00:09:10.759
<v Speaker 2>and the Dodger first basement is back.

191
00:09:11.120 --> 00:09:14.000
<v Speaker 9>I just want to tell you obviously when shoeo Tani

192
00:09:14.039 --> 00:09:17.639
<v Speaker 9>has a bobblehead. There's a line down the hill that

193
00:09:17.799 --> 00:09:19.600
<v Speaker 9>is now the same thing for Freddy Freeman. So I

194
00:09:19.639 --> 00:09:22.240
<v Speaker 9>guess Freddy Freeman is basically shoe heeo TONI because what

195
00:09:22.480 --> 00:09:26.279
<v Speaker 9>we saw coming into the stadium today it is insane.

196
00:09:26.360 --> 00:09:28.960
<v Speaker 9>Only I guess only forty thousand fans are going to

197
00:09:29.080 --> 00:09:31.559
<v Speaker 9>get the bobblehead, which is a lot, don't get me wrong,

198
00:09:32.720 --> 00:09:34.879
<v Speaker 9>but people are here early. They are not playing games

199
00:09:34.919 --> 00:09:37.240
<v Speaker 9>when it comes to this. Bobblehead's the world series one,

200
00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:39.639
<v Speaker 9>of course, the iconic you know, bat in the air,

201
00:09:40.399 --> 00:09:44.759
<v Speaker 9>I'm him moment essentially, So for Freddy the Bobblehead, that's

202
00:09:44.840 --> 00:09:47.600
<v Speaker 9>a fun one. Charlie Freeman's actually gonna be throwing out.

203
00:09:47.480 --> 00:09:48.159
<v Speaker 1>The first pitch.

204
00:09:48.320 --> 00:09:50.159
<v Speaker 5>We saw him throw a strike last year.

205
00:09:51.000 --> 00:09:53.840
<v Speaker 9>It seems like he is just getting older and older

206
00:09:53.879 --> 00:09:55.399
<v Speaker 9>and he's soon going to be a big leaguer in

207
00:09:55.440 --> 00:09:57.120
<v Speaker 9>front of our eyes. But he's going to be back

208
00:09:57.120 --> 00:09:59.799
<v Speaker 9>out there and he's excited, and then his dad is

209
00:10:00.320 --> 00:10:03.000
<v Speaker 9>the field finally after that kind of scary slip in

210
00:10:03.039 --> 00:10:05.360
<v Speaker 9>the shower. So the fact that he's just good to

211
00:10:05.440 --> 00:10:07.919
<v Speaker 9>go and back out is a really good sign for Freddie.

212
00:10:08.120 --> 00:10:10.159
<v Speaker 2>I know he didn't want to go on the injured list,

213
00:10:10.240 --> 00:10:12.360
<v Speaker 2>but it was probably the best thing for him, right,

214
00:10:12.559 --> 00:10:15.759
<v Speaker 2>don't go on the road trip, get yourself off your

215
00:10:15.799 --> 00:10:18.799
<v Speaker 2>feet for a week, and get really healthy for the

216
00:10:18.919 --> 00:10:19.799
<v Speaker 2>main part of the season.

217
00:10:20.080 --> 00:10:23.360
<v Speaker 9>If there's anything that Freddie Freeman takes just the most pride,

218
00:10:23.480 --> 00:10:26.399
<v Speaker 9>and it is being a guy who posts and is

219
00:10:26.480 --> 00:10:29.000
<v Speaker 9>available every single day. So for him not to be

220
00:10:29.159 --> 00:10:32.480
<v Speaker 9>in the lineup these last ten days, that's been a

221
00:10:32.600 --> 00:10:34.799
<v Speaker 9>tough one for him. But when you look at just

222
00:10:34.919 --> 00:10:37.840
<v Speaker 9>how he's been feeling, he talked about how he puts

223
00:10:37.879 --> 00:10:40.279
<v Speaker 9>so much work this offseason, just coming off of that

224
00:10:40.440 --> 00:10:43.240
<v Speaker 9>surgery and trying to be ready for the Tokyo Series

225
00:10:43.519 --> 00:10:45.720
<v Speaker 9>and putting himself in a good spot during spring training

226
00:10:45.799 --> 00:10:48.600
<v Speaker 9>that actually when the team was here for the Tiger

227
00:10:48.720 --> 00:10:51.759
<v Speaker 9>Series at opening weekend, he was saying that by Game

228
00:10:51.840 --> 00:10:53.840
<v Speaker 9>three of that series, I'm starting to feel a little

229
00:10:53.840 --> 00:10:56.559
<v Speaker 9>bit tight and just it's really smo of that just

230
00:10:56.639 --> 00:10:59.360
<v Speaker 9>the the scar tissue in there. And so after the

231
00:10:59.480 --> 00:11:02.000
<v Speaker 9>slip he had an MRI and it just showed that

232
00:11:02.200 --> 00:11:04.480
<v Speaker 9>there was a little bit of fraying of that scar tissue.

233
00:11:04.720 --> 00:11:07.080
<v Speaker 9>But in the kind of a weird way, it actually

234
00:11:07.159 --> 00:11:09.639
<v Speaker 9>kind of loosened it up, if that makes sense, that

235
00:11:09.720 --> 00:11:12.840
<v Speaker 9>he just feels more free than ever, whether it's you know,

236
00:11:13.039 --> 00:11:15.320
<v Speaker 9>the ability to steal a base, which Dave Roberts did

237
00:11:15.399 --> 00:11:18.360
<v Speaker 9>say he does not have the green light, so we'll

238
00:11:18.360 --> 00:11:20.480
<v Speaker 9>see how that plays out in tonight's game, but Freddie

239
00:11:20.600 --> 00:11:22.919
<v Speaker 9>does feel like if he wants to steal a base,

240
00:11:22.960 --> 00:11:24.840
<v Speaker 9>he's not concerned about let me bee landing on it.

241
00:11:24.879 --> 00:11:27.759
<v Speaker 9>In a weird way like these ten days just allowed

242
00:11:27.799 --> 00:11:30.679
<v Speaker 9>for him to truly heal just a little bit more

243
00:11:30.720 --> 00:11:33.159
<v Speaker 9>and to put himself where he can go out there

244
00:11:33.279 --> 00:11:35.960
<v Speaker 9>and be that everyday guy again, and Dave Roberts does

245
00:11:36.080 --> 00:11:38.440
<v Speaker 9>expect for him to be able to do just that.

246
00:11:38.600 --> 00:11:40.840
<v Speaker 3>Moving forward when Freddie's back in the lineup.

247
00:11:40.879 --> 00:11:43.360
<v Speaker 2>The Dodgers are a stronger lineup than a stronger team,

248
00:11:43.399 --> 00:11:45.559
<v Speaker 2>and hopefully they get back on track with a win

249
00:11:45.720 --> 00:11:46.480
<v Speaker 2>at home tonight.

250
00:11:46.559 --> 00:11:48.159

<v Speaker 3>from off season toe surgery. He is throwing bullpen sessions.

279
00:13:15.480 --> 00:13:17.919
<v Speaker 3>Did what in Washington, d C? Last road trip? Let's

280
00:13:17.919 --> 00:13:19.799
<v Speaker 3>head back out to Dodger Stadium and check out with

281
00:13:19.840 --> 00:13:20.840
<v Speaker 3>the Dodgers skipper.

282
00:13:22.759 --> 00:13:23.720
<v Speaker 10>Questions for Dave Dave?

283
00:13:23.799 --> 00:13:26.600
<v Speaker 8>Can you just describe Dave? Can you talk about the

284
00:13:26.720 --> 00:13:32.120
<v Speaker 8>pressure in the dugouts with Dave Roberts, how valuable, what

285
00:13:32.279 --> 00:13:33.840
<v Speaker 8>really blessed days for him?

286
00:13:34.039 --> 00:13:37.080
<v Speaker 11>Just f care ice, they were huge. I think I

287
00:13:37.240 --> 00:13:40.080
<v Speaker 11>even talked to Freddy and he said that this is

288
00:13:40.080 --> 00:13:44.399
<v Speaker 11>as good as he's felt pre that initial injury at

289
00:13:44.440 --> 00:13:48.279
<v Speaker 11>first base. So, you know, given all that he's done

290
00:13:48.399 --> 00:13:52.039
<v Speaker 11>gone through, I think it's gave him a little reprieve

291
00:13:52.200 --> 00:13:55.799
<v Speaker 11>mentally physically to be back and we're excited to get

292
00:13:55.879 --> 00:13:56.600
<v Speaker 11>him back in the lineup.

293
00:13:56.799 --> 00:13:58.519
<v Speaker 3>Do you see him being back to that every day

294
00:13:58.600 --> 00:13:59.360
<v Speaker 3>die or do you think.

295
00:13:59.240 --> 00:14:00.879
<v Speaker 1>He might need to sit day here and there.

296
00:14:02.679 --> 00:14:05.120
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, I think it's a read and react situation. I

297
00:14:05.200 --> 00:14:08.399
<v Speaker 11>think you know my thought initially is to run him

298
00:14:08.399 --> 00:14:11.240
<v Speaker 11>out there every day. And we've got six days until

299
00:14:11.320 --> 00:14:15.039
<v Speaker 11>we get the next off day, until I hear or

300
00:14:15.519 --> 00:14:19.000
<v Speaker 11>see otherwise, And I think that's part of the kind

301
00:14:19.039 --> 00:14:22.240
<v Speaker 11>of the thought of getting on the il, getting back

302
00:14:22.440 --> 00:14:24.879
<v Speaker 11>to close to to then be able to be able

303

<v Speaker 2>Hill from Justin Turner coming up in about twenty minutes.

317

<v Speaker 3>First pitch coming up at sevent ten.

318
00:15:10.200 --> 00:15:12.639
<v Speaker 8>Joining Tim Kats on Dodgers on deck.

319
00:15:12.720 --> 00:15:14.440
<v Speaker 5>I accept everybody for who they are.

320
00:15:14.600 --> 00:15:18.600
<v Speaker 8>This is Dodger inside there. David bas Sill.

321
00:15:18.200 --> 00:15:21.440
<v Speaker 2>Right, David back home at Dodger Stadium. Freddie Freeman didn't

322
00:15:21.480 --> 00:15:23.519
<v Speaker 2>make the trip, but he's back off the il and

323
00:15:23.600 --> 00:15:24.360
<v Speaker 2>he's ready to go.

324
00:15:25.320 --> 00:15:28.240
<v Speaker 12>He was really excited to be back today, and certainly

325
00:15:28.519 --> 00:15:31.639
<v Speaker 12>the night of his bobblehead has got Freddie Freeman even

326
00:15:31.720 --> 00:15:34.879
<v Speaker 12>more excited that those ten days on the injured list

327
00:15:34.960 --> 00:15:37.240
<v Speaker 12>while the team was on the road really made a

328
00:15:37.360 --> 00:15:40.320
<v Speaker 12>huge difference from him for him, and we had a

329
00:15:40.440 --> 00:15:42.679
<v Speaker 12>chance to talk to Freddie earlier today.

330
00:15:43.080 --> 00:15:44.960
<v Speaker 13>So I've been running the bases last two days and

331
00:15:45.080 --> 00:15:47.879
<v Speaker 13>I have no reservations about hitting a base or worrying

332
00:15:47.879 --> 00:15:50.600
<v Speaker 13>about hitting it and rolling it. I feel as free

333
00:15:50.600 --> 00:15:53.279
<v Speaker 13>as I possibly can be right now, way better than

334
00:15:53.320 --> 00:15:57.080
<v Speaker 13>I have the last couple of weeks. So I have

335
00:15:57.320 --> 00:16:00.840
<v Speaker 13>no reservations going into this game. I feel like I

336
00:16:00.879 --> 00:16:03.080
<v Speaker 13>could steal a base. That's like, That's really how I

337
00:16:03.200 --> 00:16:05.559
<v Speaker 13>feel like, So like if there's times on my side,

338
00:16:05.759 --> 00:16:08.559
<v Speaker 13>I'm I'll be able to go now, and I feel

339
00:16:08.600 --> 00:16:09.879
<v Speaker 13>really good about where my ankle is.

340
00:16:10.159 --> 00:16:12.440
<v Speaker 12>I'm not sure if you saw the people lining up

341
00:16:12.519 --> 00:16:16.279
<v Speaker 12>outside the stadium, that's Otani level babblehead status.

342
00:16:16.399 --> 00:16:18.440
<v Speaker 13>Yeah, I got here at twelve thirty and they're already

343
00:16:18.440 --> 00:16:20.480
<v Speaker 13>out there. I was kind of kind of crazy, and

344
00:16:21.480 --> 00:16:22.840
<v Speaker 13>you know, I do appreciate it. I just want to

345
00:16:22.879 --> 00:16:25.480
<v Speaker 13>say thank you. This is really cool. Charlie's really excited.

346
00:16:25.480 --> 00:16:27.519
<v Speaker 13>He's throwing the first pitch tonight, So if you can

347
00:16:27.559 --> 00:16:29.360
<v Speaker 13>make it two years ago throwing a perfect strike. But

348
00:16:29.399 --> 00:16:31.480
<v Speaker 13>I do appreciate it. It's gonna be fun. It's awesome,

349
00:16:31.559 --> 00:16:34.720
<v Speaker 13>and you know, my family's really excited about this bubblehead too.

350
00:16:35.399 --> 00:16:39.120
<v Speaker 12>Freddy's excited because he's back in the starting lineup. It's

351
00:16:39.200 --> 00:16:41.559
<v Speaker 12>the first time Tim that he's been on the injured

352
00:16:41.600 --> 00:16:45.679
<v Speaker 12>list since twenty seventeen. It's not something that happens too often.

353
00:16:46.039 --> 00:16:47.799
<v Speaker 3>David has driven by four or there's one thing we

354
00:16:47.960 --> 00:16:48.679
<v Speaker 3>like its choices.

355
00:16:48.759 --> 00:16:50.919
<v Speaker 2>Of course, find yours with the Ford F one fifty

356
00:16:51.000 --> 00:16:53.720
<v Speaker 2>gas hybrid or all electric tough This morn can only

357
00:16:53.720 --> 00:16:55.120
<v Speaker 2>be called F one fifty.

358
00:16:55.399 --> 00:16:57.840
<v Speaker 3>Yoshi Yamamoto on the Mounta tonight, David.

359
00:16:58.480 --> 00:17:00.960
<v Speaker 5>I don't like to brag Tim, but early in the season,

360
00:17:01.080 --> 00:17:01.600
<v Speaker 5>so I will.

361
00:17:03.320 --> 00:17:06.559
<v Speaker 12>I did pick Yamamoto for the National League Cy Young

362
00:17:06.599 --> 00:17:10.160
<v Speaker 12>Award for a reason. There was just a different swagger

363
00:17:10.279 --> 00:17:13.960
<v Speaker 12>about him. People that were around him early on in spring,

364
00:17:14.480 --> 00:17:18.279
<v Speaker 12>even on the backfields watching his bullpens, always felt that

365
00:17:19.039 --> 00:17:23.359
<v Speaker 12>there was so much more confidence coming from Yamamoto entering

366
00:17:23.480 --> 00:17:27.880
<v Speaker 12>this season, not just the swagger walking into the clubhouse,

367
00:17:28.000 --> 00:17:31.440
<v Speaker 12>to the to his locker and to the field, but

368
00:17:32.400 --> 00:17:35.640
<v Speaker 12>just his demeanor on the backfields and his mound presence

369
00:17:35.759 --> 00:17:36.880
<v Speaker 12>even in these games.

370
00:17:37.240 --> 00:17:38.000
<v Speaker 5>And he's even.

371
00:17:37.920 --> 00:17:40.400
<v Speaker 12>Added a new wrinkle to his pitch mix to try

372
00:17:40.440 --> 00:17:45.039
<v Speaker 12>to help keep hitters off balance, and he's even incorporated

373
00:17:45.119 --> 00:17:47.759
<v Speaker 12>a cut fastball that's been a big weapon for him

374
00:17:48.119 --> 00:17:50.799
<v Speaker 12>early on in this season. And it's going to be

375
00:17:50.920 --> 00:17:54.920
<v Speaker 12>interesting to see how Yamamoto attacks these Cubs hitters who

376
00:17:54.960 --> 00:17:57.000
<v Speaker 12>he saw on opening day in Tokyo.

377
00:17:57.319 --> 00:18:00.480
<v Speaker 3>That's right, second time around for Yoshiamoda. DEVI appreciate it.

00:22:21.279 --> 00:22:23.920
<v Speaker 2>a hit. I'm gonna say more for Will Smith. So

454
00:22:24.039 --> 00:22:27.240
<v Speaker 2>Will Smith more a half a hit and Freddie Freeman

455
00:22:27.759 --> 00:22:29.799
<v Speaker 2>more or half a single.

456
00:22:30.640 --> 00:22:33.160
<v Speaker 3>That's it for the Prize Picks. Double play of the day.

457
00:22:33.240 --> 00:22:35.960
<v Speaker 2>Don't forget use the code go blue when you sign

458
00:22:36.079 --> 00:22:37.799
<v Speaker 2>up Prize Picks, run your game.

459
00:22:38.359 --> 00:22:42.039
<v Speaker 1>And now joined by David Bass saying, here's La Dodgers

460
00:22:42.200 --> 00:22:46.880
<v Speaker 1>broadcaster and World Series champion Dodger Rick Monday.

461
00:22:47.079 --> 00:22:47.240
<v Speaker 5>Rick.

462
00:22:47.319 --> 00:22:49.839
<v Speaker 12>The weather is certainly warmer here in La than it

463
00:22:50.039 --> 00:22:52.160
<v Speaker 12>was on the road trip, and the Dodgers are hoping

464
00:22:52.279 --> 00:22:53.960
<v Speaker 12>they can warm up as well.

465
00:22:54.160 --> 00:22:55.720
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, and they need to warm up the batch. The

466
00:22:55.799 --> 00:22:59.319
<v Speaker 6>other point two is they need some innings from starting pitching.

467
00:22:59.359 --> 00:23:01.519
<v Speaker 6>Let me you start to look at what the Dodgers,

468
00:23:01.599 --> 00:23:05.079
<v Speaker 6>the starters have done. You know, they have averaged just

469
00:23:05.240 --> 00:23:08.200
<v Speaker 6>the four and the third innings and that's the fewest

470
00:23:08.279 --> 00:23:12.440
<v Speaker 6>by starting staff in the National League. In a contrary

471
00:23:12.440 --> 00:23:14.640
<v Speaker 6>to that, you start to look at the Cubs. Surprising.

472
00:23:14.839 --> 00:23:17.079
<v Speaker 6>Chicago comes to a lot of different people. They're playing

473
00:23:17.279 --> 00:23:19.599
<v Speaker 6>very good baseball and they do not want to take

474
00:23:19.599 --> 00:23:21.799
<v Speaker 6>their foot off the accelerator here in Los Angeles.

475
00:23:22.240 --> 00:23:24.400
<v Speaker 12>The last time we saw the Cubs was in Tokyo,

476
00:23:24.720 --> 00:23:27.039
<v Speaker 12>and it felt like the Dodgers were in a different

477
00:23:27.160 --> 00:23:28.160
<v Speaker 12>weight class.

478
00:23:27.920 --> 00:23:28.559
<v Speaker 4>Than the Cubs.

479
00:23:28.680 --> 00:23:31.759
<v Speaker 6>Yep, last time you saw them, they were in Tokyo.

480
00:23:31.839 --> 00:23:33.759
<v Speaker 6>The last time I saw them, they were a monitor

481
00:23:34.640 --> 00:23:35.519
<v Speaker 6>in El Segundo.

482
00:23:35.640 --> 00:23:37.759
<v Speaker 5>Hey, well, now you'll get to see them in a living.

483
00:23:37.599 --> 00:23:40.039
<v Speaker 6>Color exactly, and we'll do it and a lot of

484
00:23:40.160 --> 00:23:40.720
<v Speaker 6>living color.

485
00:23:40.920 --> 00:23:41.039
<v Speaker 11>Hey.

486
00:23:41.119 --> 00:23:43.279
<v Speaker 6>By the way, we talk about umpires a lot during

487
00:23:43.559 --> 00:23:47.119
<v Speaker 6>during broadcast, and not to hammer the point on umpires.

488
00:23:47.200 --> 00:23:49.920
<v Speaker 6>We talked, Look, they're like they're like hitters, they're like pitchers.

489
00:23:50.319 --> 00:23:52.440
<v Speaker 6>They have good days, they have bad days. They're indifferent

490
00:23:52.759 --> 00:23:55.759
<v Speaker 6>whatever it might be. And I will say this, Major

491
00:23:55.839 --> 00:23:59.519
<v Speaker 6>league umpires are very very good. I want to point

492
00:23:59.599 --> 00:24:03.559
<v Speaker 6>out one particular umpire yesterday who did something. It was

493
00:24:03.680 --> 00:24:08.359
<v Speaker 6>only the second ever since twenty fifteen when they started

494
00:24:08.400 --> 00:24:11.440
<v Speaker 6>to look at umpires scorecards, if you will, on the

495
00:24:11.599 --> 00:24:16.279
<v Speaker 6>accuracy and congratulations to Mark Ruppergord who scored one hundred

496
00:24:16.319 --> 00:24:21.160
<v Speaker 6>percent on cald balls and called strikes in his ballgame

497
00:24:21.319 --> 00:24:26.680
<v Speaker 6>yesterday Minnesota against Kansas City. That is really amazing. We've

498
00:24:26.720 --> 00:24:29.400
<v Speaker 6>seen a couple of guys that have gone one hundred

499
00:24:29.400 --> 00:24:32.680
<v Speaker 6>percent so far this year of maybe called strikes. For

500
00:24:32.839 --> 00:24:36.920
<v Speaker 6>Mark Repertuer, one hundred percent across the board, pitches in

501
00:24:37.039 --> 00:24:39.480
<v Speaker 6>the strike zone and pitches out of the strike zone.

502
00:24:39.839 --> 00:24:43.000
<v Speaker 12>My first thought when I saw that was was he

503
00:24:43.119 --> 00:24:45.680
<v Speaker 12>one hundred percent accurate in real life or was he

504
00:24:46.160 --> 00:24:49.799
<v Speaker 12>one hundred percent accurate to the computers scoring that umpires

505
00:24:49.839 --> 00:24:53.359
<v Speaker 12>are graded upon. Because pitchers are complaining there isn't a

506
00:24:53.519 --> 00:24:55.160
<v Speaker 12>top part of the strike zone anymore.

507
00:24:55.240 --> 00:24:57.720
<v Speaker 6>Agreed. I agree, and I've talked about it as well.

508
00:24:57.799 --> 00:24:59.599
<v Speaker 6>When you see that little box when you're watching on

509
00:24:59.720 --> 00:25:03.720
<v Speaker 6>tele you see that little box, that box upstairs at

510
00:25:03.759 --> 00:25:07.079
<v Speaker 6>the top of the strike zone is not indicative of

511
00:25:07.200 --> 00:25:10.279
<v Speaker 6>the strike zone. Did that particular batter because it's supposed

512
00:25:10.279 --> 00:25:14.839
<v Speaker 6>to be the height and the low level according to

513
00:25:14.960 --> 00:25:19.039
<v Speaker 6>the stance, the normal batting stance that that particular hitter takes.

514
00:25:19.359 --> 00:25:22.000
<v Speaker 12>Here's a question pitchers have been asking me because they

515
00:25:22.079 --> 00:25:24.880
<v Speaker 12>always thought the top part of the strike zone was

516
00:25:25.000 --> 00:25:28.160
<v Speaker 12>usually at the batter's letters of the name of the

517
00:25:28.200 --> 00:25:28.960
<v Speaker 12>team they're wearing.

518
00:25:29.319 --> 00:25:30.880
<v Speaker 5>Where is the top of the strike zone.

519
00:25:31.039 --> 00:25:32.720
<v Speaker 6>That's a good point. If you look at the rule book,

520
00:25:32.839 --> 00:25:35.759
<v Speaker 6>it's just underneath the armpits. I had an umpired tell

521
00:25:35.839 --> 00:25:37.279
<v Speaker 6>me is a number of years ago. In fact, it

522
00:25:37.359 --> 00:25:42.480
<v Speaker 6>was Bruce Freming. I would imagine that Bruce Freming, who

523
00:25:42.640 --> 00:25:46.160
<v Speaker 6>umpired all of those thousands of games in his career,

524
00:25:46.680 --> 00:25:49.000
<v Speaker 6>would understand. I asked him once. I said, Bruce, where

525
00:25:49.200 --> 00:25:50.839
<v Speaker 6>is the top of the strike zone? He goes, well,

526
00:25:50.880 --> 00:25:53.000
<v Speaker 6>forget what it says in the rule book. He said,

527
00:25:53.000 --> 00:25:54.680
<v Speaker 6>the top of the striking mode. If you look at

528
00:25:54.720 --> 00:25:57.640
<v Speaker 6>the belt buckle and you were to stack three baseballs,

529
00:25:57.720 --> 00:25:59.839
<v Speaker 6>one on top of the other, on top of the other.

530
00:26:00.440 --> 00:26:02.799
<v Speaker 6>And I looked at him, at Bruce, the pitch is

531
00:26:02.880 --> 00:26:06.559
<v Speaker 6>not called that high, even three baseball heights above the

532
00:26:06.599 --> 00:26:09.160
<v Speaker 6>belt buckle. It's lower than that or what is really

533
00:26:10.039 --> 00:26:10.519
<v Speaker 6>being called.

534
00:26:10.720 --> 00:26:12.920
<v Speaker 12>That's what pitchers are telling me, Rick, that the top

535
00:26:12.960 --> 00:26:15.480
<v Speaker 12>of the strike zone now is being called just above

536
00:26:15.559 --> 00:26:18.640
<v Speaker 12>the belt buckle. Nothing that you're describing, whether it be

537
00:26:18.720 --> 00:26:21.440
<v Speaker 12>the armpit or three baseballs above the belt.

538
00:26:21.519 --> 00:26:24.000
<v Speaker 6>Well, there's a few things, quite frankly in the rule book,

539
00:26:24.039 --> 00:26:26.279
<v Speaker 6>And I brought this up the last year to a

540
00:26:26.359 --> 00:26:31.039
<v Speaker 6>couple of different umpire supervisors that Baseball needs to look

541
00:26:31.119 --> 00:26:33.680
<v Speaker 6>at their own rule book that they publish. Yeah, because

542
00:26:33.680 --> 00:26:36.599
<v Speaker 6>it's wrong in some of the areas, and is wrong

543
00:26:36.759 --> 00:26:39.400
<v Speaker 6>upfront in a couple of areas. So now the umpires

544
00:26:39.440 --> 00:26:44.720
<v Speaker 6>have a more in detail list of all the different

545
00:26:44.799 --> 00:26:48.160
<v Speaker 6>rules they're Major League Baseball. But I still believe that

546
00:26:48.240 --> 00:26:50.200
<v Speaker 6>the strike zone is still mysterious. Yes, it has to

547
00:26:50.240 --> 00:26:54.599
<v Speaker 6>be interpreted by different different umpires. Umpires are like a

548
00:26:54.640 --> 00:26:58.400
<v Speaker 6>lot of hitters and pitchers. Some pitchers and hitters curveball

549
00:26:58.640 --> 00:27:01.519
<v Speaker 6>is right on track, they've got it. To others, no,

550
00:27:01.759 --> 00:27:03.799
<v Speaker 6>it might as well be three dimension of chests because

551
00:27:03.799 --> 00:27:04.640
<v Speaker 6>they can't figure it out.

552
00:27:04.839 --> 00:27:07.359
<v Speaker 5>So basically, you're saying the rule book is a mystery

553
00:27:07.400 --> 00:27:08.680
<v Speaker 5>book that we can all enjoy.

554
00:27:08.880 --> 00:27:12.200
<v Speaker 6>And by the way, the Dodgers post who the umpires

555
00:27:12.240 --> 00:27:14.920
<v Speaker 6>are for that particular game, and they know full wells

556
00:27:14.960 --> 00:27:18.039
<v Speaker 6>who the umpire is tonight, and I guarantee you they

557
00:27:18.079 --> 00:27:21.480
<v Speaker 6>also know tendencies inside outside up and down.

558
00:27:21.799 --> 00:27:24.319
<v Speaker 5>Hey, I know your tendencies. Rick, thanks a lot for

559
00:27:24.400 --> 00:27:25.000
<v Speaker 5>stopping by.

560
00:27:25.160 --> 00:27:26.279
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, get out of here.

561

<v Speaker 5>Well, check in with you and Stephen Nelson later. Tim

<v Speaker 12>Hey, we got this kick started the right way with

604
00:29:24.559 --> 00:29:27.079
<v Speaker 12>the selfie you and a drink Gonzalezes made that famous

605
00:29:27.119 --> 00:29:27.720
<v Speaker 12>in La.

606
00:29:27.960 --> 00:29:29.799
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, we didn't do it on an iPhone though we

607
00:29:29.880 --> 00:29:30.759
<v Speaker 10>did it on Ah.

608
00:29:31.480 --> 00:29:33.599
<v Speaker 5>What are those called disposable camera?

609
00:29:33.720 --> 00:29:36.519
<v Speaker 10>Are you going disposable camera while you're old enough.

610
00:29:36.359 --> 00:29:37.039
<v Speaker 5>To know what those are?

611
00:29:37.920 --> 00:29:38.400
<v Speaker 10>So are you?

612
00:29:40.880 --> 00:29:41.039
<v Speaker 1>Oh?

613
00:29:41.119 --> 00:29:43.319
<v Speaker 5>Man, it's great to see that big smile on your face.

614
00:29:43.680 --> 00:29:46.799
<v Speaker 5>Let's go back to that. Actually, the selfies you and

615
00:29:46.880 --> 00:29:50.359
<v Speaker 5>a drink, Gonzalez and the culture you guys created here.

616
00:29:51.119 --> 00:29:53.359
<v Speaker 5>How proud are you that it's still living on to

617
00:29:53.480 --> 00:29:53.839
<v Speaker 5>this day.

618
00:29:54.119 --> 00:29:56.480
<v Speaker 10>I've been fortunate enough to play with a lot of

619
00:29:57.000 --> 00:29:59.440
<v Speaker 10>great baseball players and a lot of guys who are

620
00:29:59.680 --> 00:30:02.160
<v Speaker 10>very pomplish on the field, very accomplished off the field,

621
00:30:02.279 --> 00:30:05.279
<v Speaker 10>and but on top of that, you know, there are

622
00:30:05.319 --> 00:30:09.119
<v Speaker 10>great people and kind of taught me how to be

623
00:30:09.240 --> 00:30:12.160
<v Speaker 10>a great person, be a great teammate, be good to

624
00:30:12.559 --> 00:30:15.160
<v Speaker 10>guys in the clubhouse. And you know, Adrian was one

625
00:30:15.200 --> 00:30:18.680
<v Speaker 10>of those guys that was exceptional with getting guys together

626
00:30:18.799 --> 00:30:22.720
<v Speaker 10>and team dinners and appreciating the little things that happened

627
00:30:22.759 --> 00:30:25.839
<v Speaker 10>in the game, the moments in this game that happened.

628
00:30:25.880 --> 00:30:29.279
<v Speaker 10>And you know, the selfie thing I think caught on

629
00:30:29.400 --> 00:30:32.200
<v Speaker 10>pretty quick. And was pretty cool. And I still to

630
00:30:32.279 --> 00:30:33.920
<v Speaker 10>this day have people come up to me and say, hey,

631
00:30:33.920 --> 00:30:35.720
<v Speaker 10>can we get a selfie like you and Gonzo? So

632
00:30:36.920 --> 00:30:40.319
<v Speaker 10>that's pretty cool. And I think just you know, over

633
00:30:40.359 --> 00:30:44.440
<v Speaker 10>the years, watching the culture in that room over there

634
00:30:44.640 --> 00:30:51.119
<v Speaker 10>change and watching the shift in a comfort for young

635
00:30:51.200 --> 00:30:54.160
<v Speaker 10>guys coming up, comfort for new guys getting traded over

636
00:30:54.839 --> 00:30:58.440
<v Speaker 10>seeing how they can seamlessly kind of just fit in

637
00:30:58.680 --> 00:31:01.640
<v Speaker 10>right away from day one and jump right in and

638
00:31:01.799 --> 00:31:05.319
<v Speaker 10>be impactful. And there it really like, you know, kind

639
00:31:05.359 --> 00:31:08.279
<v Speaker 10>of minimize the not so much to the learning curve.

640
00:31:08.319 --> 00:31:09.920
<v Speaker 10>I think everyone has a learning curve when they get

641
00:31:09.920 --> 00:31:11.200
<v Speaker 10>to this level or when they get to a new

642
00:31:11.240 --> 00:31:13.920
<v Speaker 10>team trying to figure everything out. But the comfort level

643
00:31:14.160 --> 00:31:17.240
<v Speaker 10>of being accepted knowing that, hey, I just got to

644
00:31:17.240 --> 00:31:18.799
<v Speaker 10>go out here and do what I do best and

645
00:31:18.960 --> 00:31:20.319
<v Speaker 10>and that's all these guys want from me.

646
00:31:20.400 --> 00:31:23.839
<v Speaker 5>And to see that, uh, you know, as far as

647
00:31:23.880 --> 00:31:24.759
<v Speaker 5>I know, it's still.

648
00:31:25.039 --> 00:31:27.319
<v Speaker 10>Being carried carried over over there, and you see new

649
00:31:27.400 --> 00:31:30.359
<v Speaker 10>guys come into that clubhouse and jump in and have

650
00:31:30.440 --> 00:31:31.240
<v Speaker 10>an impact right away.

651
00:31:31.319 --> 00:31:31.920
<v Speaker 8>It's pretty cool.

652
00:31:32.319 --> 00:31:35.599
<v Speaker 12>So from this side looking in now you've seen this

653
00:31:35.759 --> 00:31:38.720
<v Speaker 12>Dodger ownership do a lot of different things. Half a

654
00:31:38.759 --> 00:31:41.400
<v Speaker 12>billion dollars was spent this offseason. There's spent a lot

655
00:31:41.480 --> 00:31:44.400
<v Speaker 12>of talk about it. From your perspective, what do you

656
00:31:44.519 --> 00:31:47.480
<v Speaker 12>think about this version of the Dodgers the last couple

657
00:31:47.519 --> 00:31:47.880
<v Speaker 12>of years.

658
00:31:48.680 --> 00:31:51.519
<v Speaker 10>Hey, is a commitment to winning. You know there there's rules,

659
00:31:51.680 --> 00:31:55.519
<v Speaker 10>the same rules are in play for everyone, and I

660
00:31:55.599 --> 00:31:58.079
<v Speaker 10>don't I think it's great. I think it's great for

661
00:31:58.119 --> 00:32:02.160
<v Speaker 10>the game to have owners that you know, are all

662
00:32:02.240 --> 00:32:04.599
<v Speaker 10>in and and want to go out and make their

663
00:32:04.640 --> 00:32:07.160
<v Speaker 10>team as good as they can possibly make it. And

664
00:32:07.839 --> 00:32:10.839
<v Speaker 10>it doesn't matter how many top tier free agents are

665
00:32:10.880 --> 00:32:13.759
<v Speaker 10>out there, they they want to bring them all in.

666
00:32:13.960 --> 00:32:17.400
<v Speaker 10>And obviously, with you know the success the Dodgers have

667
00:32:17.480 --> 00:32:20.039
<v Speaker 10>had over the years, you know a lot of guys

668
00:32:20.720 --> 00:32:22.440
<v Speaker 10>you don't want to come and be a part of it.

669
00:32:22.599 --> 00:32:25.400
<v Speaker 5>So you know, it's good to see.

670
00:32:25.759 --> 00:32:29.359
<v Speaker 10>You kind of hope that more teams will you know,

671
00:32:29.519 --> 00:32:32.920
<v Speaker 10>fall in line to you know, competing in the free

672
00:32:32.960 --> 00:32:36.039
<v Speaker 10>agent market and trying to make their team as competitive

673
00:32:36.039 --> 00:32:38.640
<v Speaker 10>as possible as well. But you never know what's going

674
00:32:38.680 --> 00:32:40.160
<v Speaker 10>to happen. I've heard all kinds of stuff and all

675
00:32:40.240 --> 00:32:42.960
<v Speaker 10>kinds of takes and angles on it, but you know,

676
00:32:43.000 --> 00:32:45.119
<v Speaker 10>the rules are the rules, and they're playing by the rules,

677
00:32:45.160 --> 00:32:47.400
<v Speaker 10>so you know, if you don't like it, you know,

678
00:32:48.279 --> 00:32:49.519
<v Speaker 10>maybe following their footsteps.

679
00:32:49.880 --> 00:32:52.039
<v Speaker 12>You still have so much to offer the game, so

680
00:32:52.160 --> 00:32:55.920
<v Speaker 12>don't take this the wrong way. Everybody wants to know

681
00:32:56.079 --> 00:32:58.240
<v Speaker 12>when is the last dance? We all want you back

682
00:32:58.319 --> 00:33:01.839
<v Speaker 12>in LA in some capacity. But what is your mentality

683
00:33:02.039 --> 00:33:03.160
<v Speaker 12>as you go year by year?

684
00:33:03.200 --> 00:33:03.359
<v Speaker 14>Now?

685
00:33:04.920 --> 00:33:06.400
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, I don't know. I think.

686
00:33:08.039 --> 00:33:10.920
<v Speaker 12>You twisted your neck when I asked you that. I'm

687
00:33:10.960 --> 00:33:13.000
<v Speaker 12>not pushing you out of the game. No, no, I

688
00:33:13.079 --> 00:33:14.640
<v Speaker 12>don't think you are. And I want to play as

689
00:33:14.680 --> 00:33:19.279
<v Speaker 12>long as I can. And but I don't know if oh,

690
00:33:19.359 --> 00:33:21.680
<v Speaker 12>here comes JMO and you're in the seat, so I'll

691
00:33:21.680 --> 00:33:22.720
<v Speaker 12>get up, I'll just stand up.

692
00:33:24.119 --> 00:33:29.759
<v Speaker 3>I don't I don't know if I want or I've

693
00:33:29.799 --> 00:33:32.559
<v Speaker 3>never been one to want.

694
00:33:32.559 --> 00:33:37.559
<v Speaker 5>Like a spotlight shined on me or the accolades.

695
00:33:37.599 --> 00:33:42.200
<v Speaker 10>I don't love talking about myself or hearing it. So

696
00:33:42.920 --> 00:33:44.519
<v Speaker 10>I'm going to play this game as long as I can.

697
00:33:44.559 --> 00:33:48.440
<v Speaker 10>And I don't know if I want to announce a

698
00:33:48.559 --> 00:33:50.359
<v Speaker 10>retirement tour and go through all that.

699
00:33:50.480 --> 00:33:51.640
<v Speaker 5>I don't know if I deserve that.

700
00:33:51.799 --> 00:33:54.839
<v Speaker 10>I've seen guys, you know, like Miguel Cabrera and Albert

701
00:33:54.880 --> 00:33:57.839
<v Speaker 10>Poolhols and you know, just absolute.

702
00:33:57.680 --> 00:34:00.519
<v Speaker 5>Icons of the game. They're the ones that deserve that.

703
00:34:00.680 --> 00:34:03.839
<v Speaker 10>I don't necessarily know if that's something for me, but

704
00:34:03.920 --> 00:34:06.039
<v Speaker 10>it's definitely something I don't want even if it were

705
00:34:06.119 --> 00:34:08.800
<v Speaker 10>the case. So I'm just gonna keep going day by

706
00:34:08.920 --> 00:34:11.480
<v Speaker 10>day and playing as long as I can, and whenever

707
00:34:11.559 --> 00:34:15.039
<v Speaker 10>the time comes, you know, then then I'll make that announcement.

708
00:34:15.199 --> 00:34:18.000
<v Speaker 12>Hey, the Dodger mantra with you and Rich Hill used

709
00:34:18.000 --> 00:34:20.039
<v Speaker 12>to be be where your feet are, stay in the moment.

710
00:34:20.119 --> 00:34:22.280
<v Speaker 12>It sounds like you're living the words of the great

711
00:34:22.360 --> 00:34:22.760
<v Speaker 12>Rich Hill.

712
00:34:23.280 --> 00:34:24.880
<v Speaker 4>That is so true.

713
00:34:24.920 --> 00:34:28.119
<v Speaker 10>And I love Dick Mountain. He's the man, and I

714
00:34:28.199 --> 00:34:29.880
<v Speaker 10>think he'd be a great co host for you on

715
00:34:29.960 --> 00:34:31.760
<v Speaker 10>Dodger Talk if you're looking for somebody. I don't know

716
00:34:31.800 --> 00:34:33.519
<v Speaker 10>how much Drey's doing it anymore.

717
00:34:33.159 --> 00:34:35.880
<v Speaker 5>But maybe a rounder you, me and Rich Hill, Oh man, that.

784
00:37:36.840 --> 00:37:39.039

00:37:39.079 --> 00:37:41.239

793
00:38:05.320 --> 00:38:08.480
<v Speaker 2>Steven Nelson Rick Monday one final time before first pitch, guys.

794
00:38:09.119 --> 00:38:11.159
<v Speaker 7>All right to him back here with mo the Dodgers

795
00:38:11.320 --> 00:38:14.119
<v Speaker 7>kicking off a six game home stant at Dodgers Stadium,

796
00:38:14.119 --> 00:38:16.639
<v Speaker 7>where they've won nine in a row. The last loss

797
00:38:17.079 --> 00:38:19.280
<v Speaker 7>at home mod you got to go back to the

798
00:38:19.440 --> 00:38:22.679
<v Speaker 7>championship series in the last postseason against the Mets Game two.

799
00:38:23.079 --> 00:38:25.360
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, And they've done a very good job here at home.

800
00:38:25.440 --> 00:38:27.719
<v Speaker 6>They like the home cooking, no question about that. And

801
00:38:27.840 --> 00:38:30.400
<v Speaker 6>now they need to get back on track and put

802
00:38:30.440 --> 00:38:34.800
<v Speaker 6>another string together. The Cubs have really kind of taken

803
00:38:34.840 --> 00:38:37.480
<v Speaker 6>on a persona of the Dodgers last year, and by

804
00:38:37.519 --> 00:38:39.639
<v Speaker 6>that I'm talking about they had not expanded the strike

805
00:38:39.800 --> 00:38:43.239
<v Speaker 6>zone and they do take some walks. And for Yamamoto

806
00:38:43.360 --> 00:38:45.519
<v Speaker 6>getting the start tonight. You know, you can hope that

807
00:38:45.599 --> 00:38:48.199
<v Speaker 6>he can repeat what he did earlier talking about he

808
00:38:48.280 --> 00:38:51.639
<v Speaker 6>had that start in Tokyo against the Cubs and that

809
00:38:51.719 --> 00:38:53.559
<v Speaker 6>would be able to you know, picked up the win,

810
00:38:53.719 --> 00:38:57.719
<v Speaker 6>went five innings and at opening opening endeavor. So yeah,

811
00:38:57.960 --> 00:39:00.360
<v Speaker 6>we need the pitching for this Dodger boat club and

812
00:39:00.440 --> 00:39:02.679
<v Speaker 6>full well expected. I think the other part too is

813
00:39:02.880 --> 00:39:05.079
<v Speaker 6>Dodgers need to get in the cubs bullpen because they've

814
00:39:05.119 --> 00:39:06.159
<v Speaker 6>they've struggled at this point.

815
00:39:06.360 --> 00:39:08.800
<v Speaker 7>They have one quick question will hit you with about

816
00:39:08.840 --> 00:39:12.239
<v Speaker 7>Yamamoto in that start against the Cubs. He was terrific,

817
00:39:12.360 --> 00:39:15.639
<v Speaker 7>especially with first pit strikes and the tucks. The Cubs

818
00:39:15.840 --> 00:39:19.440
<v Speaker 7>really had a tough time rather with Yama Modo splitter.

819
00:39:19.639 --> 00:39:24.239
<v Speaker 7>So if you're put yourself in the club's clubhouse, which

820
00:39:24.280 --> 00:39:26.519
<v Speaker 7>I know you've been in your career, and you're facing

821
00:39:26.559 --> 00:39:30.280
<v Speaker 7>a guy that kind of dominated against you in Tokyo,

822
00:39:30.719 --> 00:39:32.800
<v Speaker 7>and are you expecting more of the same. We're you

823
00:39:32.880 --> 00:39:34.920
<v Speaker 7>expecting a different game plan? How do you attack them?

824
00:39:35.119 --> 00:39:37.280
<v Speaker 6>By the way, they didn't see that idea. That b

825
00:39:37.599 --> 00:39:40.239
<v Speaker 6>was all over all over me. That's what you call

826
00:39:40.360 --> 00:39:41.599
<v Speaker 6>operating under pressure.

827
00:39:41.719 --> 00:39:43.519
<v Speaker 3>I got I got him before it got me.

828
00:39:43.840 --> 00:39:46.599
<v Speaker 6>Yes, yeah, I didn't know you can move that quickness.

829
00:39:46.760 --> 00:39:48.719
<v Speaker 6>But an answer to your question, we'll try and get

830
00:39:48.760 --> 00:39:50.920
<v Speaker 6>back to baseball. Great moves. By the way, thank you

831
00:39:51.000 --> 00:39:53.559
<v Speaker 6>very much. You weren't even dancing, but you were your

832
00:39:53.639 --> 00:39:56.159
<v Speaker 6>light on your feet. But the Cubs they have the

833
00:39:56.519 --> 00:40:00.239
<v Speaker 6>highest walk rate too, so I would imagine that they

834
00:40:00.239 --> 00:40:03.559
<v Speaker 6>are going to make Yamamoto throw that splitter a little

835
00:40:03.599 --> 00:40:05.480
<v Speaker 6>bit closer to the plate than what they were swinging

836
00:40:05.519 --> 00:40:06.239
<v Speaker 6>at in Tokyo.

837
00:40:06.480 --> 00:40:08.719
<v Speaker 7>Gosh, that splitter, it floats like a butterfly and.

838
00:40:08.719 --> 00:40:10.880
<v Speaker 6>States like a being like you have to get the

839
00:40:10.920 --> 00:40:12.199
<v Speaker 6>beekeeper over from Phoenix.

840
00:40:13.199 --> 00:40:15.199
<v Speaker 7>We'd be here for two more hours and we don't

841
00:40:15.239 --> 00:40:17.920
<v Speaker 7>have that kind of time. You mentioned the Cubs bullpen.

842
00:40:18.320 --> 00:40:21.320
<v Speaker 7>I think that's apropos because Matthew Boyd, the left handed

843
00:40:21.360 --> 00:40:24.480
<v Speaker 7>starting pitcher, he's faced the Dodgers twice. They saw him

844
00:40:24.519 --> 00:40:26.960
<v Speaker 7>last year when he was with the Guardians, and he's

845
00:40:27.000 --> 00:40:30.679
<v Speaker 7>given him relative fits limited experience or exposure, I should

846
00:40:30.679 --> 00:40:33.519
<v Speaker 7>say for Boyd against the Dodgers, but he along with

847
00:40:33.559 --> 00:40:37.119
<v Speaker 7>shelte Imanaga, they've really they formed this one two punch.

848
00:40:37.199 --> 00:40:39.880
<v Speaker 7>But outside of that, the pitching staff has let a

849
00:40:39.960 --> 00:40:41.599
<v Speaker 7>lot to be desired for Craig counsel.

850
00:40:41.360 --> 00:40:44.320
<v Speaker 6>And Boyd has protected himself. Also, he's not given up

851
00:40:44.360 --> 00:40:46.440
<v Speaker 6>a base hit with a runner and scoring position this

852
00:40:46.559 --> 00:40:49.079
<v Speaker 6>particular point. The other part two is there's not been

853
00:40:49.239 --> 00:40:52.280
<v Speaker 6>one stolen base attempt against the lefty either.

854
00:40:52.360 --> 00:40:55.559
<v Speaker 7>Wow, the run game is something huge to watch the

855
00:40:55.639 --> 00:40:57.280
<v Speaker 7>night tim as we get it back to you. The

856
00:40:57.360 --> 00:41:00.519
<v Speaker 7>Cubs lead all of baseball with twenty five steel and

857
00:41:00.639 --> 00:41:04.639
<v Speaker 7>that's in twenty six attempts. Now, meanwhile, the Dodgers they've

858
00:41:04.760 --> 00:41:08.480
<v Speaker 7>allowed fifteen steals in sixteen attempts. So the running game,

859
00:41:08.719 --> 00:41:11.760
<v Speaker 7>the game within this matchup, which kicks off shortly game

860
00:41:11.840 --> 00:41:13.920
<v Speaker 7>one of this three game set at the Ravine.

861
00:41:13.960 --> 00:41:15.840
<v Speaker 3>All right, first pinches, next, enjoy it.

862
