Five innings, one run, two hits, struck 29 00:01:20.280 --> 00:01:23.120 out nine along the way. The only mistake he made 30 00:01:23.239 --> 00:01:26.480 was a solo home run to Taylor Ward to lead 31 00:01:26.560 --> 00:01:28.719 off the bottom half of the first inning as the 32 00:01:28.760 --> 00:01:32.040 Angels grabbed the early one to nothing lead. Button a second, 33 00:01:32.319 --> 00:01:35.079 ty Oscar Hernandez tied it up to two. 34 00:01:35.120 --> 00:01:38.599 Pitch swung out hit well the left, going back as 35 00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:41.200 Taylor Ward, he's at the track to the wall, hit. 36 00:01:41.280 --> 00:01:43.599 His god Homera Tannasker. 37 00:01:43.719 --> 00:01:48.519 Hernandez puts it undo the Dodger bullpen and ties the 38 00:01:48.599 --> 00:01:51.959 game at one. Oh, I got a slider that hung 39 00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:54.920 on a two two pitch man. He put the good 40 00:01:54.920 --> 00:01:57.120 part of the barrel on it and has tied up 41 00:01:57.159 --> 00:01:58.159 this baseball game. 42 00:01:58.480 --> 00:02:01.480 Game was tied at one the fourth and the Dodgers 43 00:02:01.519 --> 00:02:03.640 had runners on for Barnesy. 44 00:02:04.879 --> 00:02:07.879 Want to know the Barnes looking to give the Dodgers 45 00:02:07.920 --> 00:02:11.719 the league go ahead run ninety feet away, stretching the left. 46 00:02:11.719 --> 00:02:13.479 He deals home in one. Oh, and it's a ground 47 00:02:13.479 --> 00:02:14.680 ball left side that. 48 00:02:14.879 --> 00:02:16.520 Is throw on the left field. It's off the. 49 00:02:16.599 --> 00:02:17.520 Level ground heat fall. 50 00:02:17.759 --> 00:02:20.759 Once he comes under the score, here comes Confoto in 51 00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:25.919 behind him and two run score. It's three to one, 52 00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:31.759 Dodgers advancing to third. In the play was Rojas as 53 00:02:31.840 --> 00:02:33.599 Austin Barnes gets it done. 54 00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:36.879 Austin barr Is delivering two runs scored on the singles 55 00:02:36.879 --> 00:02:39.759 the left. Dodgers up three to one to Oscar Hernandez. 56 00:02:39.800 --> 00:02:41.560 Then a single in the top half of the fifth 57 00:02:41.599 --> 00:02:45.000 inning scoring Tommy Edmund Taoskars ready to go. No more 58 00:02:45.039 --> 00:02:47.719 exhibition games for Tayo Well, one more to get it 59 00:02:47.879 --> 00:02:48.520 to go tonight. 60 00:02:48.800 --> 00:02:50.120 Dodgers rub four to one. 61 00:02:50.159 --> 00:02:52.439 They'd give up a run in this six and then 62 00:02:52.479 --> 00:02:54.479 in the ninth inning things kind of fell. 63 00:02:54.240 --> 00:02:55.360 Apart for the Dodgers. 64 00:02:55.759 --> 00:02:59.520 Young bullpen out there as the Angels scored three runs 65 00:02:59.520 --> 00:03:03.080 off whole ze Rodriguez, the young twenty three year old 66 00:03:03.319 --> 00:03:05.680 as they walk off the Dodgers with a five for 67 00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:09.039 Vatree last night, but showy owed Tani got into action. 68 00:03:09.199 --> 00:03:11.520 We saw the Dodgers starters get three or four at 69 00:03:11.520 --> 00:03:13.919 bats before coming out of the game, and most importantly, 70 00:03:13.919 --> 00:03:18.159 Tyler klasstew with five solid innings, striking out nine along 71 00:03:18.199 --> 00:03:21.240 the way tonight, final game of this three game exhibition 72 00:03:21.479 --> 00:03:23.800 freeway series, and with more. We head out to the 73 00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:26.360 Galpin Motors broadcast booth as we say hello to Tim 74 00:03:26.400 --> 00:03:27.599 Neverett and Rick Monday. 75 00:03:27.639 --> 00:03:28.120 Guys. 76 00:03:28.280 --> 00:03:31.560 Thanks Tim, It's another really nice evening here in Anahei. 77 00:03:31.599 --> 00:03:33.919 I'm not a cloud in the sky. The traffic on 78 00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:36.800 the fifty seven out beyond the centerfield wall is moving 79 00:03:36.840 --> 00:03:41.000 okay right now, and the Dodgers and Angels are basically 80 00:03:41.159 --> 00:03:44.479 at the finish line of the exhibition season. And mo 81 00:03:44.599 --> 00:03:46.919 when you look at this exhibition season, it was a 82 00:03:47.039 --> 00:03:49.120 very good one for the Dodgers in a lot of ways. 83 00:03:49.719 --> 00:03:52.439 In terms of attendance at Camelback Ranch, they set a 84 00:03:52.479 --> 00:03:55.280 record for average attendance per game there. That's really good 85 00:03:55.280 --> 00:03:57.280 on the business side of things and the fans side 86 00:03:57.280 --> 00:03:59.360 of things. But as far as the player side of 87 00:03:59.400 --> 00:04:02.000 things goes, they've seen some development from a lot of 88 00:04:02.000 --> 00:04:04.400 their young pitchers. I think we're going to see some 89 00:04:04.439 --> 00:04:05.199 of those guys tonight. 90 00:04:05.319 --> 00:04:07.919 Yeah, I think the other part, too, is with Andy Pajez, 91 00:04:07.960 --> 00:04:10.520 who has won that center field job to begin with. 92 00:04:10.599 --> 00:04:14.000 You know, coming in just bring turning, what type of 93 00:04:14.039 --> 00:04:15.360 a camp was he going to have? 94 00:04:15.520 --> 00:04:17.319 And made some adjustments. 95 00:04:17.319 --> 00:04:19.360 You know, we're talking many, many times about the fact 96 00:04:19.399 --> 00:04:23.199 handles the ball inside very well, not the case so 97 00:04:23.360 --> 00:04:26.079 much with the ball away. Well, he's made some adjustments 98 00:04:26.120 --> 00:04:28.199 and right now it has paid off for him. I 99 00:04:28.199 --> 00:04:31.480 think also he's changed a couple of things defensively. First 100 00:04:31.519 --> 00:04:33.560 of all, he's had both feet on the ground. I 101 00:04:33.639 --> 00:04:35.680 said that because last year I talked to at linked 102 00:04:35.680 --> 00:04:38.199 about the fact that many times ball was crossing home plate, 103 00:04:38.399 --> 00:04:40.319 if right foot was still in the air, he's taking 104 00:04:40.319 --> 00:04:43.560 a step forward. Well, he wound up losing at least 105 00:04:43.560 --> 00:04:45.399 a step step and a half to his right as 106 00:04:45.439 --> 00:04:47.959 a result, and at least two to maybe three and 107 00:04:47.959 --> 00:04:49.879 a half steps to his left. He can't move in 108 00:04:49.920 --> 00:04:52.079 any direction with one foot of the air. All he 109 00:04:52.079 --> 00:04:55.040 can do is falling in that direction. So that was 110 00:04:55.079 --> 00:04:57.160 one of the big, big deals. But I agree with you. 111 00:04:57.240 --> 00:04:59.360 We saw a lot of the younger players that are 112 00:04:59.360 --> 00:05:02.399 the future of the Dodgers, and they really stood the 113 00:05:02.519 --> 00:05:03.160 test of time. 114 00:05:03.199 --> 00:05:03.879 In spring running. 115 00:05:03.879 --> 00:05:04.959 I thought very very well. 116 00:05:05.279 --> 00:05:07.000 The guy who stood the test of time so far 117 00:05:07.040 --> 00:05:09.199 in the big leagues is back in the lineup tonight. 118 00:05:09.279 --> 00:05:13.360 He said he feels great, awesome and normal, and that's 119 00:05:13.399 --> 00:05:14.040 Mookie Bets. 120 00:05:14.040 --> 00:05:16.160 And talk to David Bassey and he got it right 121 00:05:16.160 --> 00:05:18.920 from the mouth of Mookie Bets. And he went from 122 00:05:18.959 --> 00:05:21.319 one hundred and seventy five pounds to one hundred and 123 00:05:21.399 --> 00:05:24.480 fifty seven this afternoon, So that's a big weight loss. 124 00:05:24.759 --> 00:05:26.920 The question is going to be the energy level for 125 00:05:27.000 --> 00:05:30.120 Mookie Bets. He's able to keep some food down, solid food. 126 00:05:30.199 --> 00:05:32.680 That saying good news. How long he will play tonight, 127 00:05:32.759 --> 00:05:34.959 don't really know what about the strength of stamina, and 128 00:05:34.959 --> 00:05:37.879 then coming back tomorrow, how he feels, and I would 129 00:05:37.879 --> 00:05:39.519 imagine he's going to be in there and the home 130 00:05:39.519 --> 00:05:41.959 opener when the the Tigers come in on Thursday. 131 00:05:42.120 --> 00:05:44.279 Planning on at least two at bats for Mookie tonight, 132 00:05:44.360 --> 00:05:46.759 maybe three, depending on how he feels. The team has 133 00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:51.759 a scheduled workout tomorrow at Dodgers Stadium. They will simulate 134 00:05:51.879 --> 00:05:55.399 some activity in terms of game stuff for Mookie bench. 135 00:05:55.439 --> 00:05:57.040 We'll see how he comes out of that, and then 136 00:05:57.240 --> 00:05:59.160 it's still to be determined whether or not he'll be 137 00:05:59.160 --> 00:06:01.879 in the lineup on Thursday, but that certainly is what 138 00:06:01.920 --> 00:06:05.680 he's shooting for at this point in time. Pitching matchup tonight, 139 00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:08.839 Dustin May makes his final tune up before the regular season. 140 00:06:08.839 --> 00:06:11.600 The right hander expected to go about five innings tonight, 141 00:06:11.920 --> 00:06:15.439 and he will go opposite right hander Jack Kohanowitz. Kohanowitz 142 00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:17.319 is one and one with a two nine two era 143 00:06:17.519 --> 00:06:20.319 here in spring training. Dodgers thirteen to nine and zero 144 00:06:20.600 --> 00:06:25.759 and the Angels eleven, seventeen and four.

Dave 192 00:08:43.600 --> 00:08:46.240 Roberts talked about how he earned this fifth starter of 193 00:08:46.279 --> 00:08:49.200 the rotation. So today is going to be I do 194 00:08:49.240 --> 00:08:51.639 think we're going to see some emotions from him. He 195 00:08:51.679 --> 00:08:55.320 obviously is a pitcher who he's got big stuff and 196 00:08:55.360 --> 00:08:58.720 he is electric on the mound. You see his emotions 197 00:08:58.759 --> 00:09:00.600 on the mound, So I do think we'll get a 198 00:09:00.639 --> 00:09:02.720 little bit more of that. It is going to be 199 00:09:03.080 --> 00:09:05.000 I think different compared to when we see and have 200 00:09:05.120 --> 00:09:08.679 that game against the Graves that start that just regular 201 00:09:08.720 --> 00:09:11.320 season start back at Dodger Stadium. That's going to be 202 00:09:11.320 --> 00:09:14.720 something in itself. But just to have this moment he's 203 00:09:14.759 --> 00:09:16.639 back in a big league stadium, to be at this 204 00:09:16.679 --> 00:09:19.519 point in his career and where he's battled, I think 205 00:09:19.559 --> 00:09:21.919 today is going to be a very very special day 206 00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:23.519 boy dust In May. So it's going to be an 207 00:09:23.519 --> 00:09:24.080 exciting one. 208 00:09:24.200 --> 00:09:26.720 Another Dodger're glad to have another spring training game here 209 00:09:26.759 --> 00:09:29.600 before the home opener on Thursday's Mookie bet To We're 210 00:09:29.600 --> 00:09:30.399 going to see tonight. 211 00:09:31.000 --> 00:09:33.320 Yes he's in the lineup, but he was actually just 212 00:09:33.600 --> 00:09:36.000 out here on the field doing some drills of shortstop. 213 00:09:36.720 --> 00:09:39.519 He is someone who these these last few weeks have 214 00:09:39.600 --> 00:09:42.320 been very tough for him coming off that stomach virus, 215 00:09:42.360 --> 00:09:45.399 and as much as he was feeling better, he just 216 00:09:45.480 --> 00:09:48.279 wasn't able to keep solid food down. And so the 217 00:09:48.360 --> 00:09:51.320 last two days that has he's really turned a corner. 218 00:09:51.399 --> 00:09:53.720 He's been able to do that. Dave Roberts says that 219 00:09:53.720 --> 00:09:55.720 he's put a little bit of weight back on, he's 220 00:09:55.799 --> 00:09:58.679 regaining his strength, so he's going to be out there 221 00:09:58.799 --> 00:10:00.519 the plan for him is going to be like two 222 00:10:00.559 --> 00:10:04.000 to three at bad maybe four innings of defensive work. 223 00:10:04.360 --> 00:10:06.519 They're going to keep an eye on him just day 224 00:10:06.559 --> 00:10:09.600 by day. If things do go well today, and things 225 00:10:09.759 --> 00:10:12.600 go well and the workout tomorrow, then he could be 226 00:10:13.200 --> 00:10:16.120 out there for opening day. Now, the question is if 227 00:10:16.120 --> 00:10:18.039 he's out there for opening day, what does that look 228 00:10:18.120 --> 00:10:20.240 like for maybe this first series? Is he going to 229 00:10:20.279 --> 00:10:23.279 play all three? They've said again they're gonna play it 230 00:10:23.320 --> 00:10:25.320 by a year. They're gonna see how he feels each day. 231 00:10:26.039 --> 00:10:28.159 He wants to be an everyday player, of course, that's 232 00:10:28.240 --> 00:10:30.600 it's Mookie bets. But if it makes sense to maybe 233 00:10:30.679 --> 00:10:32.919 have him in there for two down for a day, 234 00:10:33.480 --> 00:10:36.639 things like that, we'll see what happens. But the fact 235 00:10:36.639 --> 00:10:38.600 that he's out there today is a really good sign 236 00:10:38.720 --> 00:10:41.480 for Mookie and he's excited. He feels, like he said, 237 00:10:41.519 --> 00:10:44.960 coming in today like it felt normal. So that's where 238 00:10:45.000 --> 00:10:47.440 we want him to be at normal, feeling good and 239 00:10:47.879 --> 00:10:49.919 being the guy that we've known the last few years 240 00:10:49.919 --> 00:10:51.720 that he's been in Dodger Blue and really that we've 241 00:10:51.759 --> 00:10:52.840 done throughout his entire. 242 00:10:52.679 --> 00:10:55.279 Career to big it's a marathon, not a sprint. No 243 00:10:55.320 --> 00:10:57.679 need for him the rush back, that is for sure, Kirsten. 244 00:10:57.759 --> 00:10:59.720 We appreciate it. We'll check out with you after the game. 245 00:11:00.000 --> 00:11:02.480 I'm up here on Marongo Casino Dodgers on Deck. We'll 246 00:11:02.480 --> 00:11:04.960 dive deeper to this pitching matchup.

You heard the 267 00:12:09.000 --> 00:12:13.320 good news from Kirsten that Mookie Betts in the lineup tonight. 268 00:12:13.480 --> 00:12:16.679 He hasn't played since March ninth, missed the games in 269 00:12:16.720 --> 00:12:18.799 Tokyo because of the stomach virus. But he is in 270 00:12:18.879 --> 00:12:21.360 the lineup and good to go this evening. It's head 271 00:12:21.399 --> 00:12:22.679 back out to the Big A and check in with 272 00:12:22.720 --> 00:12:23.120 the Dodgers. 273 00:12:23.120 --> 00:12:23.919 Gob anything else. 274 00:12:25.639 --> 00:12:28.759 Questions for Dave Dave? Can you just describe Dave? Can 275 00:12:28.799 --> 00:12:31.039 you talk about the pressure in. 276 00:12:31.080 --> 00:12:33.440 The dugouts with Dave Roberts. 277 00:12:34.440 --> 00:12:37.120 Yeah, I'm sure there's gonna be some emotions. Dustin pitches 278 00:12:37.159 --> 00:12:41.320 with emotion regardless, but certainly this kind of trek and 279 00:12:42.440 --> 00:12:45.759 getting close to being back in a regular season game, 280 00:12:46.080 --> 00:12:49.559 I think in one sense he senses the finish line. 281 00:12:49.600 --> 00:12:53.039 In one sense of that he's had a really good spring. 282 00:12:53.159 --> 00:12:56.879 Like you said, he's earned the fifth spot and so 283 00:12:57.360 --> 00:12:58.960 he's had a good spring. So I'm looking forward to 284 00:12:59.000 --> 00:13:01.080 go out there and pete and pitch the way he 285 00:13:01.159 --> 00:13:04.200 has and just keep building on it. And I think 286 00:13:04.200 --> 00:13:06.840 you're going to see some fires and energy. And you know, 287 00:13:06.919 --> 00:13:08.519 right now we're in a pretty good spot when. 288 00:13:08.360 --> 00:13:09.840 You look at the spring that he had. What's set 289 00:13:09.919 --> 00:13:12.600 out to you most about him, Whether it was him 290 00:13:12.639 --> 00:13:14.960 getting back to just being healthy and in a really 291 00:13:15.000 --> 00:13:17.440 good spot, or maybe even him evolving as a big 292 00:13:17.519 --> 00:13:20.080 league pitcher coming off of the injuries and the surgery. 293 00:13:20.480 --> 00:13:23.000 I think the main thing that I've seen from Dustin 294 00:13:23.879 --> 00:13:26.519 is he's managing his emotions better. 295 00:13:27.720 --> 00:13:29.360 That's one part of and also. 296 00:13:29.080 --> 00:13:32.080 I think that you know, when he does start to 297 00:13:32.200 --> 00:13:36.120 lose command, he has shown the ability to get back 298 00:13:36.159 --> 00:13:39.679 into counts, get a groundball, double play when he needs to, 299 00:13:40.559 --> 00:13:42.960 get swing and missed when he needs to, as opposed 300 00:13:42.960 --> 00:13:45.399 to letting it sort of spiral out of control. 301 00:13:45.879 --> 00:13:48.399 What do you need to see from a Mookie tonight 302 00:13:48.519 --> 00:13:50.759 and tomorrow? The really full confident could be in there 303 00:13:50.759 --> 00:13:51.639 on Thursday. 304 00:13:51.399 --> 00:13:52.159 Now, will Yeah. 305 00:13:52.440 --> 00:13:55.759 I think with Mookie, obviously we're a lot of anticipation 306 00:13:57.000 --> 00:13:58.559 for him being back in the lineup. 307 00:13:59.240 --> 00:14:00.559 What do we expect to see? 308 00:14:00.759 --> 00:14:04.240 My hope is that he takes three at bats, plays 309 00:14:04.759 --> 00:14:07.879 you know, four or five innings of defense, and comes 310 00:14:07.879 --> 00:14:13.000 out of it feeling good and wanting for more. And 311 00:14:13.039 --> 00:14:17.080 then we'll kind of assess how he feels tomorrow as 312 00:14:17.120 --> 00:14:20.279 he takes more live at bats tomorrow during the workout. 313 00:14:20.440 --> 00:14:23.440 He doesn't either on Opening Day, Like, do you get 314 00:14:23.440 --> 00:14:25.039 to kind of manage that going forward? Was there any 315 00:14:25.039 --> 00:14:27.360 consideration like shutting him down, allowing him to get his 316 00:14:27.440 --> 00:14:29.600 way back before getting into big league games? 317 00:14:30.759 --> 00:14:37.120 Certainly consideration of doing that. I think it's it's more 318 00:14:37.320 --> 00:14:41.039 than like a day to day situation. And the conversations 319 00:14:41.039 --> 00:14:43.799 that I've had with Mookie, had with the training staff, 320 00:14:43.840 --> 00:14:50.320 the coaching staff, everyone feels that for today the right 321 00:14:50.360 --> 00:14:52.399 thing for him to do is to take three at 322 00:14:52.440 --> 00:14:59.600 bats versus not playing, and then tomorrow do the simulated 323 00:14:59.639 --> 00:15:01.519 and then we'll see where we're at for Opening Day. 324 00:15:01.559 --> 00:15:03.440 And I think right now it's a day to day 325 00:15:03.480 --> 00:15:06.480 type thing. But I will say I know Mookie's expectation 326 00:15:06.639 --> 00:15:07.919 is to be in there on opening deck. 327 00:15:08.080 --> 00:15:09.960 Well, let's hope he is there on Thursday when they 328 00:15:10.039 --> 00:15:11.120 take on the Detroit Tigers. 329 00:15:11.159 --> 00:15:12.200 Whill we continue here on. 330 00:15:12.279 --> 00:15:14.720 Maranggo Casino Dodgers on deck, we'll check in with David 331 00:15:14.759 --> 00:15:19.080 Bassay lean you up to first pitch final Exhibition Freeway 332 00:15:19.200 --> 00:15:22.240 Series game between the Dodgers and Angels, Dustin May on 333 00:15:22.279 --> 00:15:22.600 the Mountain. 334 00:15:22.600 --> 00:15:24.120 First pitch coming up at six oh seven. 335 00:15:24.200 --> 00:15:27.039 I'm Tim Kates's World champion Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network. 336 00:15:29.840 --> 00:15:35.919 This is Marongo Casino, Dodgers on Tack on your home 337 00:15:36.000 --> 00:15:39.879 for the Blue All Season Law. 338 00:15:40.080 --> 00:15:44.039 It's the Dodgers and Angels, Dustin May, Jackiwano, it's the 339 00:15:44.120 --> 00:15:46.759 pitching man Chet.

I accept everybody 342 00:15:53.559 --> 00:15:54.279 for who they are. 343 00:15:54.399 --> 00:15:57.919 This is Dodger inside there, David Basse. 344 00:15:57.879 --> 00:16:00.240 All right, DV. Mookie Betts is in the line line 345 00:16:00.279 --> 00:16:00.840 up still. 346 00:16:00.960 --> 00:16:02.360 I know we've a couple of times we've had him 347 00:16:02.360 --> 00:16:03.720 in the lineup, but he's been scratched. 348 00:16:03.759 --> 00:16:05.399 But fingers crossed, he's good to go. 349 00:16:06.279 --> 00:16:06.480 Yeah. 350 00:16:06.519 --> 00:16:08.320 I had a chance to just talk to Mooki for 351 00:16:08.360 --> 00:16:10.759 a couple of minutes when he came out for batting practice. 352 00:16:10.799 --> 00:16:13.879 He was in great spirits and feels great. So we'll 353 00:16:13.919 --> 00:16:16.720 see whether or not he feels that way after four 354 00:16:16.799 --> 00:16:19.759 or five innings of playing first time in two weeks. 355 00:16:19.759 --> 00:16:22.039 He's going to play in a game and we'll see 356 00:16:22.039 --> 00:16:24.600 how he feels after three at bats and four or 357 00:16:24.600 --> 00:16:27.200 five innings of work. But before the game he was 358 00:16:27.240 --> 00:16:29.720 in great spirits and you couldn't tell that he had 359 00:16:29.759 --> 00:16:32.000 been sick the last two weeks with a stomach bug. 360 00:16:32.080 --> 00:16:34.480 So he's feeling good and I'm sure he's excited that 361 00:16:34.759 --> 00:16:37.240 he can eat again without having any sort of worries. 362 00:16:37.519 --> 00:16:39.879 Dustin May gets to start tonight and he's earned a 363 00:16:39.919 --> 00:16:42.200 spot in the rotation. Go back to last night DV 364 00:16:42.360 --> 00:16:44.879 Tyler Glass Now, five really good innings. He up a 365 00:16:44.919 --> 00:16:46.879 solo home run to lead off the bottom of the first, 366 00:16:46.919 --> 00:16:49.399 but allowed just one hit after that, struck out nine 367 00:16:49.440 --> 00:16:50.159 along the way. 368 00:16:50.240 --> 00:16:51.279 He looks like he's ready. 369 00:16:52.200 --> 00:16:52.399 Yeah. 370 00:16:52.399 --> 00:16:55.799 How about nineteen strikeouts this spring for Tyler Glass Now 371 00:16:55.799 --> 00:16:58.799 and only a couple of walks and limited innings. He 372 00:16:58.879 --> 00:17:01.759 really was dominant so far in spring training. And it's 373 00:17:02.039 --> 00:17:04.000 you know, this part of the season is not in 374 00:17:04.119 --> 00:17:07.720 question for Tyler Glass Now. Last year he missed the 375 00:17:07.759 --> 00:17:10.559 second half of the season. The Dodgers, as you know, 376 00:17:10.799 --> 00:17:13.960 down to two and a half starters in the postseason, 377 00:17:14.000 --> 00:17:16.200 and somehow, some way, found a way to win the 378 00:17:16.200 --> 00:17:20.480 World Series without glass now and coming into spring this year, 379 00:17:20.559 --> 00:17:24.000 tim he talked about being less conscious of trying to 380 00:17:24.000 --> 00:17:27.559 make the perfect pitch and having the perfect mechanics. 381 00:17:28.920 --> 00:17:29.720 I think so yeah. 382 00:17:29.759 --> 00:17:32.119 I think anytime you can kind of repeat your mechanics 383 00:17:32.160 --> 00:17:34.400 and not have that like conscious thought where everything's changing 384 00:17:34.400 --> 00:17:36.599 each pitch, I think it'll put me in a much 385 00:17:36.599 --> 00:17:38.960 better place, more like external focus. I guess it's like 386 00:17:38.960 --> 00:17:40.720 if I'm trying to bury a slider, I'm like, all right, 387 00:17:40.759 --> 00:17:43.000 I need to go buried slider, as opposed to being 388 00:17:43.039 --> 00:17:44.519 like how did that last one? I felt a little 389 00:17:44.559 --> 00:17:48.160 rotational and like it's like I'm trying to align everything correctly, 390 00:17:48.200 --> 00:17:51.680 and I think if it doesn't line up well in practice, 391 00:17:51.680 --> 00:17:52.880 it kind of leaks into the game. And I think 392 00:17:52.880 --> 00:17:54.720 if I can get good reps and like think about 393 00:17:54.720 --> 00:17:56.400 what I need to do in practice and then get 394 00:17:56.400 --> 00:17:57.960 my body in a good spot, it's easier to not 395 00:17:58.000 --> 00:17:59.920 think about it. So it's not like it's every time 396 00:18:00.039 --> 00:18:01.759 it's going to happen. I think every starting pitcher has 397 00:18:01.799 --> 00:18:04.200 times where they have to kind of grind and figure 398 00:18:04.200 --> 00:18:07.480 it out on the mound. But yeah, I think it's 399 00:18:07.519 --> 00:18:09.599 just as long as I can have like an external 400 00:18:09.599 --> 00:18:11.720 focus on the zone as opposed to me thinking about 401 00:18:11.720 --> 00:18:13.920
