<v Speaker 2>Dodgers night and they blowout loss to the ass Shows.

20
00:01:04.519 --> 00:01:07.920

<v Speaker 2>Dodgers back at it with show hay Otani on the mound,

22
00:01:11.920 --> 00:01:14.879
<v Speaker 2>game two of this three game set against the Houston Astros.

23
00:01:14.920 --> 00:01:17.680
<v Speaker 2>First pitch from Dodgers Stadium is coming up at four

24
00:01:17.719 --> 00:01:19.560
<v Speaker 2>to ten. Between then and now, we got a lot

25
00:01:19.640 --> 00:01:22.640
<v Speaker 2>to get to here on Morongo Casino Dodgers on Deck,

26
00:01:22.640 --> 00:01:25.239
<v Speaker 2>you're gonna hear them from the manager Dave Roberts, get

27
00:01:25.280 --> 00:01:27.239
<v Speaker 2>his thoughts on what happened last night and how the

28
00:01:27.319 --> 00:01:29.920
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers need to turn the page here on this Saturday

29
00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:33.000
<v Speaker 2>and move forward. We'll dive deeper into this pitching matchup.

30
00:01:33.079 --> 00:01:36.640
<v Speaker 2>David Vassa goes one on one with Blake Snell. Yes,

31
00:01:36.840 --> 00:01:40.560
<v Speaker 2>it's snell Zilla's Saturday. Here on Dodgers on Deck, we've

32
00:01:40.599 --> 00:01:43.959
<v Speaker 2>got your Dodgers magical moment. We're also here from Ben Casparius,

33
00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:46.319
<v Speaker 2>who was last night starting pitcher. In just a few minutes,

34
00:01:46.480 --> 00:01:48.920
<v Speaker 2>we will check it with Steven Nelson and Rick Monday

35
00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:51.879
<v Speaker 2>out at the Gallpin Motors Broadcast booth. Well, last night

36
00:01:51.920 --> 00:01:54.959
<v Speaker 2>at the Ravine, it was full of fireworks, daring, and

37
00:01:55.239 --> 00:01:58.079
<v Speaker 2>after the game, unfortunately not a lot of pot from

38
00:01:58.120 --> 00:02:00.840
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers offense. Ben Casparius have to start. The right

39
00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:05.120
<v Speaker 2>hander was in trouble early and often. Isaac Pradi's hit

40
00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:08.000
<v Speaker 2>his first career lead off home run on the first

41
00:02:08.080 --> 00:02:11.319
<v Speaker 2>pitch of the game. Jose Altuban and doubled and score

42
00:02:11.360 --> 00:02:14.319
<v Speaker 2>on Christian Walker's RB I single, and the Astros had

43
00:02:14.439 --> 00:02:17.400
<v Speaker 2>a two to nothing to leave. The Dodgers offense did

44
00:02:17.560 --> 00:02:20.639
<v Speaker 2>provide a little pop, a little thanks to Will Smith.

45
00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:23.159
<v Speaker 5>Dodgers got a lead off walk from Otani, but then

46
00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:25.800
<v Speaker 5>Betts grounded into a double play, ultimately a twelve pitch

47
00:02:25.879 --> 00:02:29.840
<v Speaker 5>first frame for mccolors. I'm facing the NL batting leader

48
00:02:29.879 --> 00:02:32.719
<v Speaker 5>in Will Smith swings and drives the ball left field. Indeed,

49
00:02:32.800 --> 00:02:35.599
<v Speaker 5>this one's on the warning track at the wall gone.

50
00:02:37.719 --> 00:02:41.840
<v Speaker 5>Will Smith cuts the Dodger deficit in half. It's now

51
00:02:41.879 --> 00:02:43.960
<v Speaker 5>a two to one ball game thanks to the twelfth

52
00:02:44.039 --> 00:02:46.919
<v Speaker 5>home run from Will Smith, who is on some kind

53
00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:50.719
<v Speaker 5>of power. Serge Will Smith with the solo home run,

54
00:02:50.840 --> 00:02:51.879
<v Speaker 5>his twelfth of the season.

55
00:02:51.960 --> 00:02:52.560
<v Speaker 1>He's going to the.

56
00:02:52.520 --> 00:02:54.479
<v Speaker 2>All Star Game. That's the top tier player of the game.

57
00:02:54.520 --> 00:02:57.319
<v Speaker 2>Brought to you by ARCO Quality, top tier gas for less.

58
00:02:57.560 --> 00:03:00.840
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers down six to one, and unfortunately it just got

59
00:03:01.039 --> 00:03:04.400
<v Speaker 2>worse after that and the third Jake Myers doubled leading

60
00:03:04.479 --> 00:03:07.280
<v Speaker 2>off the inning and then scored on Jose al Tuoby's

61
00:03:07.280 --> 00:03:09.840
<v Speaker 2>fourteenth home run of the season. Rookie camp Smith, He's

62
00:03:09.919 --> 00:03:12.240
<v Speaker 2>pretty good. He doubled and scored on Christian Walker's home

63
00:03:12.319 --> 00:03:14.680
<v Speaker 2>run to cap off four straight hits given up by

64
00:03:14.719 --> 00:03:18.400
<v Speaker 2>Benkinspirius and gave the Astros a six to one lead.

65
00:03:18.520 --> 00:03:21.319
<v Speaker 2>After that, it was a bad dream. Houston with one

66
00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:23.639
<v Speaker 2>of the fifth and exploded for ten runs in the

67
00:03:23.719 --> 00:03:27.840
<v Speaker 2>sixth inning, capped off by Victor Carrotelli's grand slammed Jose

68
00:03:27.919 --> 00:03:30.280
<v Speaker 2>Al two Bay's three run home run Noah Davis on

69
00:03:30.360 --> 00:03:32.439
<v Speaker 2>the receiving end of all of that. It was the

70
00:03:32.560 --> 00:03:34.680
<v Speaker 2>most runs given up in an inning by the Dodgers

71
00:03:34.680 --> 00:03:38.719
<v Speaker 2>since April twenty third, nineteen ninety nine, against the Saint

72
00:03:38.759 --> 00:03:42.159
<v Speaker 2>Louis Cardinals, and the Astros weren't done. They tacked on

73
00:03:42.439 --> 00:03:46.000
<v Speaker 2>one more of the seventh off Anthony Banda. They got

74
00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:49.199
<v Speaker 2>the best of the Dodgers last night in an eighteen

75
00:03:49.520 --> 00:03:53.479
<v Speaker 2>to one win over the Blue They pounded out twenty hits,

76
00:03:53.520 --> 00:03:56.840
<v Speaker 2>including five home runs. It was a bad loss. How

77
00:03:56.960 --> 00:04:00.800
<v Speaker 2>bad the worst loss in Dodgers state history.

78
00:04:01.439 --> 00:04:02.319
<v Speaker 3>That was last night.

79
00:04:02.560 --> 00:04:05.919
<v Speaker 2>Good news, It's a new day and a new game show.

80
00:04:06.039 --> 00:04:08.360
<v Speaker 2>Hey o tany on the mound first pitch coming up

81
00:04:08.400 --> 00:04:10.479
<v Speaker 2>at four ten, and with more we head out to

82
00:04:10.560 --> 00:04:14.479
<v Speaker 2>the Gallpin Motors broadcast on this beautiful Saturday afternoon as

83
00:04:14.520 --> 00:04:17.360
<v Speaker 2>we welcome in Stephen Nelson and Rick Monday, guys.

84
00:04:17.519 --> 00:04:18.040
<v Speaker 3>Sor Ry Tien.

85
00:04:18.120 --> 00:04:20.360
<v Speaker 5>The sun did come up today for the Dodgers, despite

86
00:04:20.439 --> 00:04:23.120
<v Speaker 5>what happened and the series opener last night against the Astros,

87
00:04:23.160 --> 00:04:27.839
<v Speaker 5>the largest loss at home in Dodgers Stadium history.

88
00:04:27.920 --> 00:04:28.680
<v Speaker 1>It was a blowout.

89
00:04:28.759 --> 00:04:30.759
<v Speaker 5>It was an embarrassment and it is one that the

90
00:04:30.839 --> 00:04:33.959
<v Speaker 5>Dodgers male will quickly put behind them because frankly, the

91
00:04:34.040 --> 00:04:35.959
<v Speaker 5>series is still ahead of them. They have a chance

92
00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:37.920
<v Speaker 5>to win these next two and make an eight straight

93
00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:39.959
<v Speaker 5>series win. Well, they have to put it behind them

94
00:04:40.160 --> 00:04:43.120
<v Speaker 5>quite frankly. Yes, it's embarrassing and it takes a lot

95
00:04:43.160 --> 00:04:46.000
<v Speaker 5>out of you. But for Dave Roberts, he's actually experienced

96
00:04:46.040 --> 00:04:50.399
<v Speaker 5>something like this before. Oddly enough, the more history changes,

97
00:04:50.480 --> 00:04:51.560
<v Speaker 5>the more it remains the same.

98
00:04:51.680 --> 00:04:55.680
<v Speaker 1>Because we go back on August twenty sixth, two thousand

99
00:04:55.759 --> 00:04:59.040
<v Speaker 1>and three, the Dodgers playing against the Astros in Houston,

100
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:03.240
<v Speaker 1>that ball game eighteen to four. Who was the leadoff

101
00:05:03.279 --> 00:05:07.160
<v Speaker 1>hitter that day for the Dodgers. Their current manager, Dave Roberts.

102
00:05:07.480 --> 00:05:10.279
<v Speaker 1>He was in there. Also. Ron Coomer is now broadcaster

103
00:05:10.399 --> 00:05:12.639
<v Speaker 1>for the Chicago Cubs, the best. He was in that.

104
00:05:13.000 --> 00:05:16.040
<v Speaker 1>So I just sent Coomber a text in including that

105
00:05:16.120 --> 00:05:17.680
<v Speaker 1>today he said, Oh, by the way, why you're giving

106
00:05:17.680 --> 00:05:20.120
<v Speaker 1>me the scores from last night. Don't have too much

107
00:05:20.199 --> 00:05:22.399
<v Speaker 1>fun because check the light up with the Dodgers and

108
00:05:22.560 --> 00:05:23.319
<v Speaker 1>Ron Coomer was.

109
00:05:23.319 --> 00:05:23.920
<v Speaker 3>In it that day.

110
00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:25.600
<v Speaker 1>That is amazing.

111
00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:29.959
<v Speaker 5>That's the beauty of baseball, the history that ties things together,

112
00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:30.560
<v Speaker 5>and it.

113
00:05:30.600 --> 00:05:33.360
<v Speaker 1>Will humble you in a New York minute. And that's

114
00:05:33.439 --> 00:05:36.879
<v Speaker 1>exactly what the Dodgers and for Ben casparious against one

115
00:05:36.920 --> 00:05:38.319
<v Speaker 1>of those hang with hims. I know there was some

116
00:05:38.560 --> 00:05:42.959
<v Speaker 1>conjecture was he tipping his pitches or not. I didn't

117
00:05:42.959 --> 00:05:44.480
<v Speaker 1>think it was that big of a deal as far

118
00:05:44.560 --> 00:05:46.720
<v Speaker 1>as tipping, although he did think that maybe in Kansas

119
00:05:46.759 --> 00:05:48.600
<v Speaker 1>City he was doing that. He changed his glove, he

120
00:05:48.680 --> 00:05:51.319
<v Speaker 1>tried to change the routine and everything else. I didn't

121
00:05:51.360 --> 00:05:54.319
<v Speaker 1>think he pitched well enough as far as location of

122
00:05:54.399 --> 00:05:57.920
<v Speaker 1>pitches to zero in on. Were they getting his pitches

123
00:05:58.959 --> 00:06:00.839
<v Speaker 1>in the wind up? They were getting his pitches at

124
00:06:00.879 --> 00:06:03.000
<v Speaker 1>home blate because there were a lot of pitches that

125
00:06:03.040 --> 00:06:04.360
<v Speaker 1>were in the middle of the plate.

126
00:06:04.560 --> 00:06:07.399
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, no question, the execution is lacking for Ben and

127
00:06:07.560 --> 00:06:09.839
<v Speaker 5>the word is for the Dodgers after last night's game

128
00:06:09.879 --> 00:06:12.759
<v Speaker 5>that he will transition back into the bullpen because the

129
00:06:12.839 --> 00:06:15.240
<v Speaker 5>stretching out, the balancing back in between roles, it just

130
00:06:16.279 --> 00:06:18.439
<v Speaker 5>it wasn't fair to him and it wasn't setting him

131
00:06:18.480 --> 00:06:20.639
<v Speaker 5>up for success in his rookie season. So now we

132
00:06:20.720 --> 00:06:24.160
<v Speaker 5>look ahead to today. Happy birthdays, show hey, old Tani.

133
00:06:24.199 --> 00:06:26.279
<v Speaker 5>He turns thirty one for the first time in his

134
00:06:26.360 --> 00:06:28.800
<v Speaker 5>major league career. Mo He's going to get a chance

135
00:06:28.879 --> 00:06:30.279
<v Speaker 5>to pitch on his birthday.

136
00:06:30.399 --> 00:06:33.240
<v Speaker 1>Well, and the other part too, is he hopes for

137
00:06:33.360 --> 00:06:36.720
<v Speaker 1>better results because in the untered notes was showing that

138
00:06:36.839 --> 00:06:39.759
<v Speaker 1>on his birthday he just too for twenty two as

139
00:06:39.839 --> 00:06:44.160
<v Speaker 1>a hitter. This was a big day quite frankly for

140
00:06:44.240 --> 00:06:46.759
<v Speaker 1>the Dodgers and being able to rebound because a couple

141
00:06:46.800 --> 00:06:50.920
<v Speaker 1>of pitchers were throwing earlier today and in one of

142
00:06:50.959 --> 00:06:54.720
<v Speaker 1>them Blake Snell. To begin with, it was on the

143
00:06:54.800 --> 00:06:57.879
<v Speaker 1>mound and they brought up some youngsters they hit against

144
00:06:57.959 --> 00:07:01.040
<v Speaker 1>him for the minor leaguers. But I'll tell you why velocity.

145
00:07:01.240 --> 00:07:04.000
<v Speaker 1>We didn't get the printouse, but he was rather impressive.

146
00:07:04.240 --> 00:07:08.240
<v Speaker 5>Uh, show Hey, Otani against from ber Baldez. That is

147
00:07:08.360 --> 00:07:10.279
<v Speaker 5>the ace of the Houston Astros. He has been one

148
00:07:10.319 --> 00:07:13.199
<v Speaker 5>of the most consistent and dependable starters in the American

149
00:07:13.319 --> 00:07:16.079
<v Speaker 5>League the last handful of seasons. Now the Dodgers will

150
00:07:16.120 --> 00:07:19.079
<v Speaker 5>have their hands full against the left hander from the

151
00:07:19.120 --> 00:07:21.680
<v Speaker 5>Houston Astros today in Game two.

00:08:42.879 --> 00:08:45.679
<v Speaker 3>This is the Otani rewind.

178
00:08:46.279 --> 00:08:46.519
<v Speaker 6>Well.

179
00:08:46.840 --> 00:08:49.120
<v Speaker 2>Last night, the Dodgers didn't have a lot of offense.

180
00:08:49.159 --> 00:08:51.559
<v Speaker 2>They scored one run on a Will Smith solo home

181
00:08:51.639 --> 00:08:54.200
<v Speaker 2>run in the second inning. Show Hey Otani hit the

182
00:08:54.279 --> 00:08:57.480
<v Speaker 2>ball hard, hit one off of Lance McCullers Junior's foot. However,

183
00:08:57.559 --> 00:08:59.879
<v Speaker 2>it went right to the middle infielder for an out.

184
00:09:00.080 --> 00:09:02.639
<v Speaker 2>Show Hey last night zero for three on base once

185
00:09:03.039 --> 00:09:05.879
<v Speaker 2>with a walk, now hitting two eighty two on the season.

186
00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:07.879
<v Speaker 2>Last night was just a rough night for the Dodgers.

187
00:09:08.200 --> 00:09:09.600
<v Speaker 2>The offense had six hits.

188
00:09:09.679 --> 00:09:10.120
<v Speaker 1>That was it.

189
00:09:10.480 --> 00:09:13.799
<v Speaker 2>The Astros had twenty hits, including five home runs. The

190
00:09:13.879 --> 00:09:16.399
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers had one run on the Will smith solo home run.

191
00:09:16.840 --> 00:09:20.799
<v Speaker 2>Eighteen runs where the Houston Astros. Lance mccullors pitched into

192
00:09:20.840 --> 00:09:23.440
<v Speaker 2>the seventh inning. He gets the win, he struck out four.

193
00:09:23.720 --> 00:09:25.960
<v Speaker 2>Ben Casparius got the start. It gave up a leadoff

194
00:09:26.000 --> 00:09:28.399
<v Speaker 2>home run. We did up going three innings, got roughed

195
00:09:28.440 --> 00:09:31.039
<v Speaker 2>up for six runs on nine hits, including three home

196
00:09:31.120 --> 00:09:33.879
<v Speaker 2>runs through fifty nine pitches before turning it over to

197
00:09:33.960 --> 00:09:36.799
<v Speaker 2>the bullpen. Didn't do much better after that, but afterwards,

198
00:09:36.840 --> 00:09:38.279
<v Speaker 2>here's Ben Casparius with the media.

199
00:09:38.559 --> 00:09:42.559
<v Speaker 7>I think the execution in general, I think teams are

200
00:09:42.600 --> 00:09:44.320
<v Speaker 7>starting a game plan, obviously a little bit more knowing

201
00:09:44.320 --> 00:09:45.720
<v Speaker 7>I'm going to go, you know, more than one or

202
00:09:45.720 --> 00:09:48.720
<v Speaker 7>two in incs, and just you know, mixing on where

203
00:09:48.759 --> 00:09:49.679
<v Speaker 7>my fastball location is.

204
00:09:49.720 --> 00:09:50.759
<v Speaker 6>I think it's been kind.

205
00:09:50.639 --> 00:09:51.600
<v Speaker 3>Of the telltale.

206
00:09:51.759 --> 00:09:53.080
<v Speaker 2>Do you think that's what kind of led to them

207
00:09:53.120 --> 00:09:54.559
<v Speaker 2>being so aggressive on the first pitch?

208
00:09:55.120 --> 00:09:55.480
<v Speaker 4>I think so.

209
00:09:55.600 --> 00:09:57.759
<v Speaker 7>I think part of it two is just they were

210
00:09:57.799 --> 00:10:01.320
<v Speaker 7>kind of hunting me out over the plate. I think

211
00:10:01.399 --> 00:10:03.240
<v Speaker 7>just a lack of going inside and writ he's just

212
00:10:03.320 --> 00:10:05.879
<v Speaker 7>kind of gotten made to you know, tough spots.

213
00:10:05.720 --> 00:10:07.879
<v Speaker 8>At least at least been learning experiences for you in

214
00:10:08.000 --> 00:10:10.360
<v Speaker 8>which you can kind of now prepare for your next outing.

215
00:10:10.159 --> 00:10:12.120
<v Speaker 2>And kind of use it to make some adjustments.

216
00:10:12.440 --> 00:10:12.759
<v Speaker 6>For sure.

217
00:10:12.759 --> 00:10:15.759
<v Speaker 7>I mean it's still new at this level. For me,

218
00:10:15.799 --> 00:10:17.559
<v Speaker 7>it's just kind of diving into the numbers, seeing what's

219
00:10:17.600 --> 00:10:20.519
<v Speaker 7>working and what counts, and you know, maybe just being

220
00:10:20.559 --> 00:10:21.879
<v Speaker 7>a little sharp run game planning.

221
00:10:23.360 --> 00:10:23.720
<v Speaker 1>I love it.

222
00:10:24.759 --> 00:10:27.679
<v Speaker 8>As for other teams learning you and how does.

223
00:10:27.639 --> 00:10:29.200
<v Speaker 3>That process kind of work?

224
00:10:29.240 --> 00:10:31.799
<v Speaker 7>For sure, I think it's a work in progress every

225
00:10:31.840 --> 00:10:35.080
<v Speaker 7>single day obviously, you know. So this was a really

226
00:10:35.360 --> 00:10:39.679
<v Speaker 7>righty levy or righty heavy lineup, and obviously we're game

227
00:10:39.720 --> 00:10:41.759
<v Speaker 7>planning kind of, you know, going through the week looking

228
00:10:41.799 --> 00:10:42.320
<v Speaker 7>at who.

229
00:10:42.240 --> 00:10:43.200
<v Speaker 3>We who we have to face.

230
00:10:43.320 --> 00:10:46.279
<v Speaker 2>So it kind of differs by week a little bit.

231
00:10:46.279 --> 00:10:48.679
<v Speaker 6>Morek grabbing a long conversation after you're outing, just what

232
00:10:48.879 --> 00:10:50.960
<v Speaker 6>kind of feedback or advice has he given you us?

233
00:10:51.000 --> 00:10:52.759
<v Speaker 2>Fire, Yeah, just stay calm.

234
00:10:54.240 --> 00:10:55.600
<v Speaker 7>A lot of it was just say we're gonna know,

235
00:10:55.720 --> 00:10:58.279
<v Speaker 7>take a deep dive of what's going on, maybe tweak

236
00:10:58.399 --> 00:11:02.240
<v Speaker 7>some things. I just really look at patterning and sequencing

237
00:11:02.320 --> 00:11:04.879
<v Speaker 7>and and just to tell me that, like, stay calm

238
00:11:04.960 --> 00:11:05.879
<v Speaker 7>and you know, keep doing my.

239
00:11:05.879 --> 00:11:10.120
<v Speaker 3>Work and everything like that. We agreeous because the results

240
00:11:10.120 --> 00:11:10.720
<v Speaker 3>were what they were.

241
00:11:11.000 --> 00:11:11.840
<v Speaker 2>Was there anything else?

242
00:11:13.519 --> 00:11:14.159
<v Speaker 3>I'm not really sure.

243
00:11:14.159 --> 00:11:16.519
<v Speaker 2>I think it was a result driven all right. There's

244
00:11:16.559 --> 00:11:19.639
<v Speaker 2>Ben Casparius last night got roughed up in a start

245

285
00:13:35.320 --> 00:13:37.639
<v Speaker 2>back out to Dodger standymom this Saturday afternoon. If we

286
00:13:37.720 --> 00:13:42.039
<v Speaker 2>checking in with the Dodger Skipper. The questions for Dave Dave,

287
00:13:42.159 --> 00:13:43.960
<v Speaker 2>can you just describe Dave?

288
00:13:44.039 --> 00:13:45.840
<v Speaker 1>Can you talk about the pressure.

289
00:13:46.279 --> 00:13:51.000
<v Speaker 4>In the dugouts with Dave Roberts, Dave Blake went winnings?

290
00:13:51.320 --> 00:13:52.679
<v Speaker 1>Uh, how did he look?

291
00:13:52.720 --> 00:13:55.840
<v Speaker 9>And next Blake looked good.

292
00:13:56.000 --> 00:13:56.720
<v Speaker 1>It looked really good.

293
00:13:57.519 --> 00:13:59.840
<v Speaker 9>I think the plan next week is he'll probably go

294
00:14:00.159 --> 00:14:07.080
<v Speaker 9>on rehab. So we'll leave here for Milwaukee tomorrow and

295
00:14:07.159 --> 00:14:09.399
<v Speaker 9>he'll probably stay back to throw a pen and.

296
00:14:12.200 --> 00:14:13.360
<v Speaker 1>You know, start his rehab.

297
00:14:13.399 --> 00:14:17.279
<v Speaker 9>I'm not sure where, but the thought is two innings

298
00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:19.200
<v Speaker 9>sometime late next week.

299
00:14:20.120 --> 00:14:22.559
<v Speaker 8>Is he mixed in everything at this point and we'll

300
00:14:22.600 --> 00:14:25.279
<v Speaker 8>say any kind of step today that he made from

301
00:14:25.879 --> 00:14:26.480
<v Speaker 8>I don't know what the.

302
00:14:26.679 --> 00:14:28.559
<v Speaker 9>What the Vlo was, but the ball was coming out

303
00:14:28.600 --> 00:14:33.279
<v Speaker 9>really well. He used his entire pitch mix. I thought, uh,

304
00:14:34.240 --> 00:14:39.559
<v Speaker 9>it looked the delivery was clean, sharp, So really positive day.

305
00:14:40.399 --> 00:14:43.240
<v Speaker 9>Obviously he's gonna want to, you know, be perfect, but

306
00:14:43.320 --> 00:14:46.039
<v Speaker 9>I really feel that he's ready to go out and

307
00:14:46.639 --> 00:14:51.240
<v Speaker 9>start making that progression. And Blake trying and I thought

308
00:14:51.399 --> 00:14:54.120
<v Speaker 9>was really good as well. And so he threw one

309
00:14:54.200 --> 00:14:58.360
<v Speaker 9>inning versus Blake Snow's two innings, and you know, so

310
00:14:58.559 --> 00:15:00.639
<v Speaker 9>Blake will probably be going on at some point in

311
00:15:00.679 --> 00:15:02.720
<v Speaker 9>time too, and both those guys should be ready at

312
00:15:02.720 --> 00:15:04.759
<v Speaker 9>some point in time shortly after you all start break.

313
00:15:04.960 --> 00:15:07.320
<v Speaker 1>The second half is really what matters for you, guys.

314
00:15:07.360 --> 00:15:08.840
<v Speaker 1>You have the best record of baseball, and then you

315
00:15:08.960 --> 00:15:11.279
<v Speaker 1>have Tyler coming back, you know, Blake right behind.

316
00:15:11.360 --> 00:15:14.480
<v Speaker 6>And I'm trying to how good does this feel?

317
00:15:14.559 --> 00:15:16.919
<v Speaker 1>The kind of the team that you envisioned is coloring?

318
00:15:17.480 --> 00:15:18.159
<v Speaker 1>It feels good.

319
00:15:18.960 --> 00:15:21.000
<v Speaker 9>You know, we're still not there yet, but I think

320
00:15:21.039 --> 00:15:26.159
<v Speaker 9>we can see a little squint of light. And so

321
00:15:26.559 --> 00:15:28.919
<v Speaker 9>it's taken a little bit longer than we've all expected

322
00:15:29.039 --> 00:15:31.440
<v Speaker 9>or hoped for as far as getting our guys together.

323
00:15:31.639 --> 00:15:36.039
<v Speaker 9>So we haven't gotten there yet, but we're hopeful and excited.

324
00:15:37.039 --> 00:15:40.240
<v Speaker 2>Okay, well, have you learn from so far from staying

325
00:15:40.279 --> 00:15:42.000
<v Speaker 2>in race and when.

326
00:15:45.480 --> 00:15:46.519
<v Speaker 6>He's going to start tomorrow.

327
00:15:47.279 --> 00:15:52.600
<v Speaker 9>We'll play him in left field tomorrow, So I still

328
00:15:52.679 --> 00:15:55.440
<v Speaker 9>don't know a lot about him. Know that he's really

329
00:15:56.000 --> 00:16:00.240
<v Speaker 9>fast and steal a base. I think our guys come

330
00:16:00.279 --> 00:16:02.519
<v Speaker 9>on the corner, whether it's right field or left field.

331
00:16:03.200 --> 00:16:05.919
<v Speaker 9>I really like the kid, so I'm excited to see

332
00:16:05.960 --> 00:16:06.600
<v Speaker 9>him play tomorrow.

333
00:16:07.919 --> 00:16:10.279
<v Speaker 3>David nowhere still a week from All Star break.

334
00:16:10.360 --> 00:16:12.600
<v Speaker 8>When you look at the first half, considering everything that

335
00:16:12.720 --> 00:16:15.399
<v Speaker 8>you guys have gone through this year, what's your evaluation

336
00:16:15.480 --> 00:16:17.360
<v Speaker 8>of how all this team has played come together.

337
00:16:18.720 --> 00:16:25.879
<v Speaker 9>We've come together really well, which which I like. There's

338
00:16:26.360 --> 00:16:29.559
<v Speaker 9>some things that I just we've got to certainly get

339
00:16:29.639 --> 00:16:33.919
<v Speaker 9>better at. But the wind, loss, the standings, all that

340
00:16:34.000 --> 00:16:37.919
<v Speaker 9>stuff that's which certainly matters, has been really good. And

341
00:16:38.000 --> 00:16:41.440
<v Speaker 9>I think that's kind of a byproduct of coming together,

342
00:16:42.679 --> 00:16:45.360
<v Speaker 9>not making excuses. Certain guys step up when they need to,

343
00:16:45.639 --> 00:16:50.000
<v Speaker 9>and that's a sign of a deep, you know, connected team,

344
00:16:50.039 --> 00:16:52.519
<v Speaker 9>which I really like and I think is very powerful.

345
00:16:53.480 --> 00:16:57.720
<v Speaker 9>But kind of on the baseball front, there's just some

346
00:16:57.840 --> 00:17:00.279
<v Speaker 9>things that we have to get better at as we

347
00:17:00.480 --> 00:17:02.519
<v Speaker 9>and I don't really need to go into it right now,

348
00:17:02.600 --> 00:17:05.720
<v Speaker 9>but we've there's a lot of room for improvement, which

349
00:17:05.759 --> 00:17:06.240
<v Speaker 9>is a good thing.

350
00:17:06.880 --> 00:17:09.400
<v Speaker 2>All Right, there's the manager, Dave Roberts, talking about his

351
00:17:09.640 --> 00:17:13.839
<v Speaker 2>rotation getting healthy and coming back post All Star break.

352
00:17:13.920 --> 00:17:16.640
<v Speaker 2>Look Out, this rotation is going to look completely different

353
00:17:17.039 --> 00:17:20.400
<v Speaker 2>with the arms we expected to have in twenty twenty five.

354
00:17:20.839 --> 00:17:22.799
<v Speaker 2>All Right, when we continue here on Dodgers on Deck,

355
00:17:22.839 --> 00:17:25.200
<v Speaker 2>we will check in with the David Vass says, we

356
00:17:25.400 --> 00:17:27.599
<v Speaker 2>lead you up to first pitch on this Saturday Dodgers

357
00:17:27.680 --> 00:17:31.000
<v Speaker 2>and Astros show. Hey o Tani makes the start first

358
00:17:31.079 --> 00:17:33.119
<v Speaker 2>pitch at four to ten. I'm Tim Kats's the world

359
00:17:33.200 --> 00:17:35.640
<v Speaker 2>champion Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.

360
00:17:40.240 --> 00:17:44.960
<v Speaker 4>As we were saying, yes, it's Marongo Casino, Dodgers on

361
00:17:45.160 --> 00:17:49.000
<v Speaker 4>Deck on the official home of La Dodgers Baseball.

362
00:17:51.279 --> 00:17:55.119
<v Speaker 2>It's the Dodgers and the Astros on the Saturday afternoon show.

363
00:17:55.160 --> 00:17:58.640
<v Speaker 2>Hey Otani gets to start first pitch from Dodgers Stadium.

364
00:17:58.319 --> 00:18:03.880
<v Speaker 4>Set for four ten, joining Tim Kats on Dodgers on Deck.

365
00:18:03.960 --> 00:18:05.680
<v Speaker 3>I accept everybody for who they are.

366
00:18:05.839 --> 00:18:09.079
<v Speaker 4>This is Dodger insider David Bassi.

367
00:18:09.519 --> 00:18:11.599
<v Speaker 2>All right, Davie, we got a lot to cover we'll

368
00:18:11.640 --> 00:18:14.279
<v Speaker 2>go back to the last night Ben Ksparius got roughed

369
00:18:14.359 --> 00:18:17.799
<v Speaker 2>up in his start. What is his role now realistically

370
00:18:17.920 --> 00:18:21.200
<v Speaker 2>moving forward with a lot of arms possibly on the return.

371
00:18:22.200 --> 00:18:23.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that's part of the equation.

372
00:18:23.920 --> 00:18:27.279
<v Speaker 8>Tim And after the game last night, Dave Roberts said

373
00:18:27.440 --> 00:18:29.920
<v Speaker 8>he will be going back to his role of being

374
00:18:30.039 --> 00:18:34.079
<v Speaker 8>a multi inning, high leverage believer. He has a very

375
00:18:34.119 --> 00:18:36.920
<v Speaker 8>good chance of going back to being the Evan Phillips

376
00:18:37.559 --> 00:18:42.519
<v Speaker 8>role in that bullpen because tomorrow Emmitt Shean officially will

377
00:18:42.599 --> 00:18:47.119
<v Speaker 8>rejoin the Dodger rotation. No more being sent down unless

378
00:18:47.759 --> 00:18:50.640
<v Speaker 8>it gets a little bit too crowded. So Emmit Sheen

379
00:18:50.799 --> 00:18:53.960
<v Speaker 8>is back tomorrow to start the game. Justin Robleski is

380
00:18:54.079 --> 00:18:58.559
<v Speaker 8>expected to follow show Hao Tani today, So Ben Casparius

381
00:18:58.640 --> 00:19:02.279
<v Speaker 8>goes back to the role that everybody was raving about

382
00:19:02.440 --> 00:19:06.319
<v Speaker 8>going back to spring training, saying that his stuff plays

383
00:19:06.440 --> 00:19:09.160
<v Speaker 8>up in the bullpen more than it does as a

384
00:19:09.240 --> 00:19:13.799
<v Speaker 8>starting pitcher, so he can excel in that role between

385
00:19:13.880 --> 00:19:16.680
<v Speaker 8>now and whenever the Dodgers season ends.

386
00:19:17.480 --> 00:19:19.200
<v Speaker 2>David is brought to you by the twenty twenty five

387
00:19:19.200 --> 00:19:21.319
<v Speaker 2>to four f one to fifty from California's best selling

388
00:19:21.359 --> 00:19:23.519
<v Speaker 2>truck brand. It's time to see Ford in a new

389
00:19:23.640 --> 00:19:27.920
<v Speaker 2>light for America. From America. Tyler Glass now, one of

390
00:19:27.960 --> 00:19:30.160
<v Speaker 2>the most arms that we keep hearing, is going to

391
00:19:30.200 --> 00:19:32.039
<v Speaker 2>be coming back soon. He's mad a couple of triple

392
00:19:32.119 --> 00:19:35.079
<v Speaker 2>A rehab starts. What's the latens on Glass now? How

393
00:19:35.240 --> 00:19:36.279
<v Speaker 2>soon could he be back?

394
00:19:37.319 --> 00:19:37.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

395
00:19:37.559 --> 00:19:40.319
<v Speaker 8>Well, Dave Roberts alluded to the fact that he'll return

396
00:19:40.720 --> 00:19:45.039
<v Speaker 8>on this upcoming road trip in Milwaukee. In fact, and

397
00:19:45.160 --> 00:19:47.759
<v Speaker 8>if you count the days out, there's a good chance

398
00:19:47.839 --> 00:19:49.960
<v Speaker 8>he's going to pitch one of the last two games

399
00:19:50.480 --> 00:19:53.640
<v Speaker 8>in Milwaukee. And that is a huge boost and a

400
00:19:53.720 --> 00:19:56.400
<v Speaker 8>great a great way to end the first half to

401
00:19:56.519 --> 00:19:59.759
<v Speaker 8>have Tyler Glass now back in the rotation. And I've

402
00:19:59.799 --> 00:20:03.480
<v Speaker 8>ti to other pitchers on this staff, including Clayton Kershaw,

403
00:20:04.079 --> 00:20:07.160
<v Speaker 8>and he just says, when Glass now is healthy and

404
00:20:07.319 --> 00:20:10.480
<v Speaker 8>he's feeling right, and albeit that hasn't happened a lot

405
00:20:10.680 --> 00:20:12.640
<v Speaker 8>so far this year, he is.

406
00:20:13.440 --> 00:20:16.359
<v Speaker 3>His stuff is some of the best you'll see in baseball.

407
00:20:16.400 --> 00:20:18.960
<v Speaker 8>And that's part of the reason why the Dodgers acquired him,

408
00:20:19.279 --> 00:20:21.880
<v Speaker 8>that's part of the reason why they gave him an extension.

409
00:20:22.079 --> 00:20:26.279
<v Speaker 8>So hopefully it starts and it never looks back for

410
00:20:26.359 --> 00:20:28.119
<v Speaker 8>the rest of this year for Tyler Glass.

411
00:20:28.200 --> 00:20:31.519
<v Speaker 2>Now, yeah, no doubt about that. Snell's zellow Saturday. We're

412
00:20:31.519 --> 00:20:34.160
<v Speaker 2>gonna hear from Blake Snell coming up in about fifteen

413
00:20:34.240 --> 00:20:37.279
<v Speaker 2>minutes TV. But can't wait show I know, show Hey

414
00:20:37.319 --> 00:20:39.720
<v Speaker 2>Otani gets to start as well. Last time we saw

415
00:20:39.799 --> 00:20:43.079
<v Speaker 2>him pitching Kansas City two innings. What do we expect today?

416
00:20:43.119 --> 00:20:45.079
<v Speaker 2>And to start a Dodger stadium on his birthday?

417
00:20:46.039 --> 00:20:46.440
<v Speaker 3>That's right.

418
00:20:46.640 --> 00:20:49.920
<v Speaker 8>Show Helotani pitching for the first time in his career

419
00:20:50.519 --> 00:20:55.039
<v Speaker 8>on his birthday. And when he walked into the Dodger clubhouse,

420
00:20:55.079 --> 00:20:58.720
<v Speaker 8>he was dressed very casually. I wished him a happy

421
00:20:58.759 --> 00:21:01.519
<v Speaker 8>birthday and Espanol as he walked by. He got a

422
00:21:01.640 --> 00:21:05.119
<v Speaker 8>chuckle out of that, so everybody knows it's his birthday.

423
00:21:05.480 --> 00:21:08.799
<v Speaker 8>He is going to go two innings again today, Tim

424
00:21:09.160 --> 00:21:12.400
<v Speaker 8>and Robleski is going to follow him. Remember, in each

425
00:21:12.480 --> 00:21:16.000
<v Speaker 8>of his first three starts, it's been Ben Casparius that

426
00:21:16.160 --> 00:21:20.200
<v Speaker 8>has followed O'tani. But because the Dodgers want a Caspirius

427
00:21:20.279 --> 00:21:22.920
<v Speaker 8>to start last night and move back to his role

428
00:21:22.960 --> 00:21:25.680
<v Speaker 8>where he has thrived as a reliever, it is going

429
00:21:25.720 --> 00:21:28.519
<v Speaker 8>to be Robleski after Otani today.

430
00:21:29.000 --> 00:21:31.119
<v Speaker 2>And then two innings. David that's part of the plan,

431
00:21:31.279 --> 00:21:33.480
<v Speaker 2>right of building up and not building up too fast

432
00:21:33.720 --> 00:21:36.039
<v Speaker 2>with the All Star break coming and it's still only July.

433
00:21:37.440 --> 00:21:38.480
<v Speaker 3>That's my understanding.

434
00:21:38.640 --> 00:21:40.960
<v Speaker 8>Back to back starts of one inning, back to back

435
00:21:41.039 --> 00:21:44.200
<v Speaker 8>starts of two innings, and we'll see where it goes

436
00:21:44.480 --> 00:21:46.640
<v Speaker 8>on the next road trip. He may be pitching in

437
00:21:46.759 --> 00:21:50.559
<v Speaker 8>San Francisco a week from today or a week from tomorrow,

438
00:21:50.680 --> 00:21:53.200
<v Speaker 8>which is a pitcher's ballpark, and we'll see whether or

439
00:21:53.240 --> 00:21:56.119
<v Speaker 8>not he steps it up to three innings next weekend.

440
00:21:56.640 --> 00:21:58.440
<v Speaker 2>All right, David, great stuff. We'll check back in with you.

441
00:21:58.680 --> 00:22:00.240
<v Speaker 2>Just a couple of minutes still to come. You're on

442
00:22:00.359 --> 00:22:03.319
<v Speaker 2>Morongo Causino Dodgers on deck. As we alluded to, it

443
00:22:03.440 --> 00:22:07.000
<v Speaker 2>is Snell Zilla Saturday with DV and Blake Snell. That's

444
00:22:07.039 --> 00:22:09.559
<v Speaker 2>coming up in less than fifteen minutes. We'll hear from

445
00:22:09.640 --> 00:22:10.319
<v Speaker 2>Rick Monday.

446
00:22:10.440 --> 00:22:10.880
<v Speaker 1>Coming up.

447
00:22:10.920 --> 00:22:13.240
<v Speaker 2>We'll have deeper in this pitching matchup. But up next

448
00:22:13.279 --> 00:22:17.160
<v Speaker 2>your Dodgers magical moment, Don't go anywhere, Dodgers and Astros

449
00:22:17.200 --> 00:22:20.759
<v Speaker 2>on this Saturday afternoon show. Hey Otani on the mound

450
00:22:20.880 --> 00:22:23.759
<v Speaker 2>on his birthday. First pitch coming up at four ten.

451
00:22:24.000 --> 00:22:27.680

<v Speaker 2>his Dodger career, with a big afternoon against the American League.

466
00:23:27.079 --> 00:23:30.680
<v Speaker 5>Is developed a distressing habit for the Yankees of throwing

467
00:23:30.720 --> 00:23:31.200
<v Speaker 5>a home run.

468
00:23:31.240 --> 00:23:32.519

<v Speaker 3>And it almost happened.

476
00:23:48.920 --> 00:23:52.920

477
00:23:53.519 --> 00:23:57.319
<v Speaker 8>At this point in time, Govey is the key offensive.

478
00:23:56.799 --> 00:23:57.559
<v Speaker 1>Player in the game.

479
00:23:58.200 --> 00:24:01.880

506
00:25:35.640 --> 00:25:36.960
<v Speaker 3>How are you feeling today, Rick.

507
00:25:36.960 --> 00:25:41.119
<v Speaker 1>I'm on the aisle. Yeah, I'm over work. Yeah, that's

508
00:25:41.160 --> 00:25:44.240
<v Speaker 1>one pitch of the last. Actually it's the first baseball

509
00:25:44.279 --> 00:25:45.559
<v Speaker 1>that I've thrown in like six years.

510
00:25:46.039 --> 00:25:47.799
<v Speaker 3>What was it like throwing it to Blake Trent and

511
00:25:47.880 --> 00:25:48.839
<v Speaker 3>he seemed very excited.

512
00:25:48.920 --> 00:25:51.200
<v Speaker 1>Let me tell you what. I'm glad you brought this up.

513
00:25:51.519 --> 00:25:55.400
<v Speaker 1>And Blake is wonderful. And in the follow up to

514
00:25:55.480 --> 00:25:58.200
<v Speaker 1>a brief conversation have with Blake, right through the pitch

515
00:25:58.240 --> 00:25:59.440
<v Speaker 1>to him, I asked him and said, look, how are

516
00:25:59.480 --> 00:26:02.640
<v Speaker 1>you doing? Because I feel great? And he showed that

517
00:26:02.799 --> 00:26:05.200
<v Speaker 1>today because he was pitching to simulate the game along

518
00:26:05.240 --> 00:26:08.519
<v Speaker 1>with Blake Snow and that's the really positive standpoint. And

519
00:26:08.640 --> 00:26:12.559
<v Speaker 1>I just related to trying to is, look, we need you,

520
00:26:13.440 --> 00:26:15.480
<v Speaker 1>but don't rush it if you're not ready. He goes, no,

521
00:26:16.200 --> 00:26:18.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm right there. So that's that's a very good news

522
00:26:19.200 --> 00:26:23.200
<v Speaker 1>and the update and other than Will Smith getting some

523
00:26:23.359 --> 00:26:26.119
<v Speaker 1>hits and getting a home run, other than that, really

524
00:26:26.200 --> 00:26:28.720
<v Speaker 1>the highlight for the Dodgers last night was a fireworks show.

525
00:26:28.640 --> 00:26:31.079
<v Speaker 8>No doubt, and for Blake Tryning, it was catching your

526
00:26:31.200 --> 00:26:34.400
<v Speaker 8>first pitch. From what I was told, Blake was very.

527
00:26:34.359 --> 00:26:36.720
<v Speaker 3>Excited when he was asked to be the catcher for

528
00:26:36.839 --> 00:26:37.440
<v Speaker 3>that first.

529
00:26:37.240 --> 00:26:40.079
<v Speaker 1>Page I made. I made a comment to him. Evidently

530
00:26:40.119 --> 00:26:42.200
<v Speaker 1>he drew short straws and lost. He had the catch.

531
00:26:42.480 --> 00:26:44.119
<v Speaker 1>He had the catch. I just told him was look,

532
00:26:44.160 --> 00:26:46.440
<v Speaker 1>I promise I will not bounce it. I heard a

533
00:26:46.519 --> 00:26:50.839
<v Speaker 1>scout inside a few minutes ago and it and it

534
00:26:50.920 --> 00:26:56.200
<v Speaker 1>bears true, and I'll be honest. This conversation goes back

535
00:26:56.279 --> 00:27:00.160
<v Speaker 1>this scout with the late Jenfergosi outstanding short sty I've

536
00:27:00.160 --> 00:27:02.680
<v Speaker 1>been wonderful guy, he told this guy a number of

537
00:27:02.759 --> 00:27:05.039
<v Speaker 1>years ago. He says, I was never nervous on the

538
00:27:05.119 --> 00:27:08.720
<v Speaker 1>field of baseball except after his career, if he would

539
00:27:08.759 --> 00:27:11.359
<v Speaker 1>throw out the first pitch. And I can relate to

540
00:27:11.480 --> 00:27:15.319
<v Speaker 1>that because all of a sudden, everybody's expecting you, former player,

541
00:27:16.000 --> 00:27:18.759
<v Speaker 1>and you throw the ball and happen to be just

542
00:27:18.880 --> 00:27:20.920
<v Speaker 1>happened to be right there, but it was not. It

543
00:27:21.039 --> 00:27:24.039
<v Speaker 1>was a good night basically the circle of wagons last

544
00:27:24.119 --> 00:27:25.880
<v Speaker 1>night for the Dodgers, they didn't do much in the

545
00:27:26.000 --> 00:27:26.480
<v Speaker 1>right direction.

546
00:27:26.759 --> 00:27:28.920
<v Speaker 3>Did you feel that way yesterday? Rick, you said you

547
00:27:29.000 --> 00:27:30.000
<v Speaker 3>might have some butterflies?

548
00:27:31.000 --> 00:27:34.119
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean, no, one wants to embarrass yourself. I

549
00:27:34.160 --> 00:27:36.319
<v Speaker 1>don't care what it is that did any of us do.

550
00:27:37.200 --> 00:27:39.720
<v Speaker 1>And everybody's looking at you, and by the way, to

551
00:27:39.759 --> 00:27:41.920
<v Speaker 1>get everybody's attention, Hey, by the way, there's a guy

552
00:27:42.000 --> 00:27:44.240
<v Speaker 1>right there watching it to throw the ball. You know,

553
00:27:44.559 --> 00:27:48.200
<v Speaker 1>the Dodgers losing in last night's game. Obviously it was lopsided,

554
00:27:48.279 --> 00:27:51.359
<v Speaker 1>so you know, you start to this computer thing that's

555
00:27:51.400 --> 00:27:55.119
<v Speaker 1>going to catch on? Yeah, AYI yeah, yeah, I'm no kidding.

556
00:27:55.759 --> 00:27:59.279
<v Speaker 1>So for the Dodgers, Dave Roberts has seen this before

557
00:28:00.119 --> 00:28:02.519
<v Speaker 1>what happened last night, Because if we go back to

558
00:28:02.720 --> 00:28:05.880
<v Speaker 1>the twenty sixth of August two thousand and three, the

559
00:28:05.960 --> 00:28:09.160
<v Speaker 1>Dodgers were in Houston, and they lost the ball game

560
00:28:09.240 --> 00:28:12.960
<v Speaker 1>that night, eighteen to four. Who was the leadoff hitter

561
00:28:13.079 --> 00:28:16.519
<v Speaker 1>for the Los Angeles Dodgers that day, the current manager,

562
00:28:16.640 --> 00:28:20.119
<v Speaker 1>It was Dave Roberts. Here's another fill for you. Who

563
00:28:20.279 --> 00:28:26.240
<v Speaker 1>was on the other team in that game? Oh no, yeah,

564
00:28:26.400 --> 00:28:27.039
<v Speaker 1>oh yes.

565
00:28:27.119 --> 00:28:30.359
<v Speaker 3>One of his teammates and also on his coaching.

566
00:28:30.119 --> 00:28:32.960
<v Speaker 1>At former Dodger now was on the Dodger coaching staff.

567
00:28:33.039 --> 00:28:35.599
<v Speaker 1>So the more things change, the more they go full

568
00:28:35.640 --> 00:28:37.880
<v Speaker 1>circle and come back again. By the way, what day

569
00:28:37.960 --> 00:28:38.440
<v Speaker 1>is it, David?

570
00:28:38.920 --> 00:28:43.160
<v Speaker 8>Today is not only July fifth, but it's snell Zilla Saturday.

571
00:28:43.359 --> 00:28:45.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and that means they're coming up right after us.

572
00:28:46.519 --> 00:28:49.119
<v Speaker 1>Since it's Saturday, you're you're going to be doing an

573
00:28:49.200 --> 00:28:50.200
<v Speaker 1>interview with whom.

574
00:28:50.279 --> 00:28:54.240
<v Speaker 8>That's right, Blake Snell aka snell Zilla, who looked nasty

575
00:28:54.319 --> 00:28:56.039
<v Speaker 8>on the mound today getting ready.

576
00:28:56.319 --> 00:28:59.519
<v Speaker 1>And watched him, and the reports were very good.

577
00:29:00.000 --> 00:29:00.279
<v Speaker 6>I thought.

578
00:29:00.400 --> 00:29:04.880
<v Speaker 1>Dave Roberts came up with a very interesting line talking

579
00:29:04.920 --> 00:29:06.920
<v Speaker 1>to the members of the media a little bit earlier

580
00:29:07.000 --> 00:29:09.680
<v Speaker 1>today and he was asked about the ball club obviously

581
00:29:09.799 --> 00:29:13.559
<v Speaker 1>last night, and you'll wash that away. Yeah it hurts,

582
00:29:13.640 --> 00:29:17.359
<v Speaker 1>it's embarrassing, but it's gone. But Dave said, and here's

583
00:29:17.400 --> 00:29:19.960
<v Speaker 1>a ball club that's eight games in front of everybody

584
00:29:20.000 --> 00:29:22.880
<v Speaker 1>else in the Western Division of the National League. He said,

585
00:29:22.960 --> 00:29:25.680
<v Speaker 1>and here's a quote. There's a lot of room, and

586
00:29:26.359 --> 00:29:29.319
<v Speaker 1>there's a lot of room for improvement. There's a ball club.

587
00:29:29.440 --> 00:29:31.359
<v Speaker 1>And then he says, I don't need to go into it.

588
00:29:31.640 --> 00:29:33.480
<v Speaker 1>You guys have been watching the games and how they've

589
00:29:33.519 --> 00:29:36.640
<v Speaker 1>been played. We need to improve in a few areas.

590
00:29:36.880 --> 00:29:39.359
<v Speaker 1>And I think that's the difference between the teams and

591
00:29:39.480 --> 00:29:41.480
<v Speaker 1>eight games in front of first place. I mean, that's

592
00:29:41.759 --> 00:29:45.319
<v Speaker 1>where they are. That's the difference between teams that have

593
00:29:45.559 --> 00:29:49.799
<v Speaker 1>high goals and high expectations and say, okay, fine, we

594
00:29:49.880 --> 00:29:51.640
<v Speaker 1>should be a little bit farther out in front of

595
00:29:51.720 --> 00:29:54.759
<v Speaker 1>everybody than what the eight games are and let's kind

596
00:29:54.799 --> 00:29:56.400
<v Speaker 1>of tighten the belts and get down to what we

597
00:29:56.559 --> 00:30:00.400
<v Speaker 1>can do instead of saying this is good enough, no doubt.

598
00:30:00.480 --> 00:30:02.559
<v Speaker 3>And even guys feel that way on the team, the

599
00:30:02.599 --> 00:30:04.799
<v Speaker 3>guys that actually that's.

600
00:30:04.680 --> 00:30:09.160
<v Speaker 1>The difference between upper echelon teams and those everybody else.

601

659
00:32:59.480 --> 00:33:02.799
<v Speaker 10>to that. So happy with today. I just I felt

660
00:33:02.799 --> 00:33:04.599
<v Speaker 10>like the fastball was better. I feel like I got

661
00:33:04.640 --> 00:33:06.359
<v Speaker 10>a lot better from the first one to this one.

662
00:33:06.480 --> 00:33:10.880
<v Speaker 10>So starting to repeat stuff and feel stuff that's right wrong,

663
00:33:11.039 --> 00:33:13.200
<v Speaker 10>and yeah, getting getting better.

664
00:33:13.480 --> 00:33:15.759
<v Speaker 8>You had a big leaguer in the mix today, Hayes

665
00:33:15.839 --> 00:33:18.240
<v Speaker 8>Sung Kim. Did you request that or did he want

666
00:33:18.559 --> 00:33:20.359
<v Speaker 8>to see what snail Zilla is all about?

667
00:33:21.359 --> 00:33:24.359
<v Speaker 10>He needed some AB's yeah, so he got in there,

668
00:33:24.440 --> 00:33:26.839
<v Speaker 10>and uh no, that was good. You know you need

669
00:33:27.000 --> 00:33:29.079
<v Speaker 10>facing big leader is always good. So I appreciate him

670
00:33:29.119 --> 00:33:29.359
<v Speaker 10>doing that.

671
00:33:29.960 --> 00:33:31.400
<v Speaker 3>When the games are going on.

672
00:33:31.559 --> 00:33:34.279
<v Speaker 8>You've explained to me how you read hitter swings in

673
00:33:34.400 --> 00:33:37.960
<v Speaker 8>a situation like today. Is that what you're doing or

674
00:33:38.039 --> 00:33:40.319
<v Speaker 8>you more focused on what you're doing?

675
00:33:40.960 --> 00:33:42.680
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I mean focus on what I'm doing.

676
00:33:42.759 --> 00:33:45.559
<v Speaker 10>And then you know, trust and feel and understanding hitters

677
00:33:45.559 --> 00:33:47.440
<v Speaker 10>when they get into the box what they're presenting, and

678
00:33:48.279 --> 00:33:50.359
<v Speaker 10>and you know what that tells me, And then you know,

679
00:33:50.440 --> 00:33:52.720
<v Speaker 10>how do I plan on dissecting you know, the bat?

680
00:33:52.799 --> 00:33:56.759
<v Speaker 6>And just more strikes, you know, I mean, the more

681
00:33:56.759 --> 00:33:58.079
<v Speaker 6>I get ahead, the better.

682
00:33:58.200 --> 00:34:01.759
<v Speaker 10>And Yeah, as I've gotten older, I felt like I've

683
00:34:01.799 --> 00:34:03.880
<v Speaker 10>done a lot better job of that and understanding that.

684
00:34:04.119 --> 00:34:06.640
<v Speaker 6>So, yeah, they just get in the box.

685
00:34:06.720 --> 00:34:09.760
<v Speaker 10>You just learn what they're telling you, and then you

686
00:34:09.920 --> 00:34:11.679
<v Speaker 10>just pitch and see if you're right or wrong, and

687
00:34:11.800 --> 00:34:12.320
<v Speaker 10>you adjust.

688
00:34:12.880 --> 00:34:15.400
<v Speaker 8>This is the first time I've been around you every day,

689
00:34:15.559 --> 00:34:17.159
<v Speaker 8>and I knew it was rough for you when you

690
00:34:17.239 --> 00:34:19.159
<v Speaker 8>had to go on the I l I know it

691
00:34:19.280 --> 00:34:20.960
<v Speaker 8>was tough for you when you couldn't throw.

692
00:34:21.519 --> 00:34:23.119
<v Speaker 3>But I feel like there's a change.

693
00:34:23.239 --> 00:34:25.960
<v Speaker 8>There's been a change the last three weeks and even

694
00:34:26.000 --> 00:34:28.679
<v Speaker 8>on this homestand it feels like you believe you're close.

695
00:34:29.119 --> 00:34:31.960
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, No, I know I'm close. I feel good, I

696
00:34:32.039 --> 00:34:32.639
<v Speaker 6>feel healthy.

697
00:34:34.440 --> 00:34:36.000
<v Speaker 10>Put a lot of work in to get to where

698
00:34:36.000 --> 00:34:38.199
<v Speaker 10>I'm at right now, and I'm really happy about it.

699
00:34:39.800 --> 00:34:41.320
<v Speaker 10>You know, got a lot more to do before I

700
00:34:41.440 --> 00:34:45.119
<v Speaker 10>come back, but I really can't wait. This is this

701
00:34:45.239 --> 00:34:47.039
<v Speaker 10>is what I do, It's what I love, and I

702
00:34:47.199 --> 00:34:48.199
<v Speaker 10>just it's all I want to do.

703
00:34:48.760 --> 00:34:51.440
<v Speaker 8>So since I am and this is the platform of

704
00:34:51.639 --> 00:34:54.079
<v Speaker 8>Nolzilla on Saturdays, what's the next step?

705
00:34:55.280 --> 00:34:57.880
<v Speaker 10>I think I want to rehab start next. They'll let

706
00:34:57.960 --> 00:35:01.440
<v Speaker 10>me know, but I think that's what's next. And the Yeah,

707
00:35:01.559 --> 00:35:03.519
<v Speaker 10>just get go and get closer to getting back here.

708
00:35:04.119 --> 00:35:06.840
<v Speaker 3>Does it make it easier with the lead this team

709
00:35:06.880 --> 00:35:08.000
<v Speaker 3>has built without.

710
00:35:07.760 --> 00:35:10.079
<v Speaker 6>You, Yeah, I mean it definitely helps.

711
00:35:10.119 --> 00:35:13.159
<v Speaker 10>It's fun to watch and see, you know, guys get

712
00:35:13.199 --> 00:35:15.480
<v Speaker 10>there their opportunities and then the boys that you know

713
00:35:15.559 --> 00:35:18.000
<v Speaker 10>are here for a long time just doing what they've

714
00:35:18.000 --> 00:35:21.440
<v Speaker 10>been doing their whole career. But it's not surprising or

715
00:35:21.480 --> 00:35:23.320
<v Speaker 10>anything to me. I think we should be even better

716
00:35:23.400 --> 00:35:26.039
<v Speaker 10>and I think the best is yet to come.

717
00:35:26.480 --> 00:35:29.079
<v Speaker 3>I know players never feel the pressure.

718
00:35:29.199 --> 00:35:30.840
<v Speaker 8>I mean, that's why you guys are the best of

719
00:35:30.920 --> 00:35:33.079
<v Speaker 8>the best, and you're a two time cy Young winner.

720
00:35:33.559 --> 00:35:35.880
<v Speaker 3>But to have this type of team, to have this

721
00:35:36.079 --> 00:35:36.719
<v Speaker 3>type of lead.

722
00:35:37.360 --> 00:35:40.199
<v Speaker 8>They really don't need you to come in here and

723
00:35:40.679 --> 00:35:43.119
<v Speaker 8>save the season, unlike other teams you've been on.

724
00:35:43.880 --> 00:35:44.079
<v Speaker 6>Yeah.

725
00:35:44.360 --> 00:35:46.679
<v Speaker 10>No, I just need to come back and be ready

726
00:35:46.760 --> 00:35:50.559
<v Speaker 10>to dominate and finish the year strong and then you know,

727
00:35:50.719 --> 00:35:52.519
<v Speaker 10>figure out what I need to do to make sure

728
00:35:52.559 --> 00:35:54.320
<v Speaker 10>I'm healthy for the full season next year.

729
00:35:54.800 --> 00:35:56.960
<v Speaker 8>Blake Snell is our guest. You know what it is,

730
00:35:57.159 --> 00:36:00.880
<v Speaker 8>Noil Zilla Saturday at Dodgers Stadium. You were here for

731
00:36:01.000 --> 00:36:04.400
<v Speaker 8>Clayton Kershaws three thousand strikeout. You had the best seat

732
00:36:04.480 --> 00:36:06.239
<v Speaker 8>in the house in the dugout.

733
00:36:06.360 --> 00:36:07.840
<v Speaker 3>What was that moment like for you?

734
00:36:08.599 --> 00:36:11.639
<v Speaker 10>You know, it was cool to see a part of history,

735
00:36:12.119 --> 00:36:16.000
<v Speaker 10>only for her to do it left handed. Yeah, you know,

736
00:36:16.480 --> 00:36:18.920
<v Speaker 10>I'm chasing after him, seeing if I can do what

737
00:36:19.000 --> 00:36:21.280
<v Speaker 10>he's been able to do and to see if I

738
00:36:21.320 --> 00:36:23.400
<v Speaker 10>could be better. And that's that's you know, that's a

739
00:36:23.519 --> 00:36:25.519
<v Speaker 10>big feat to try to do. But it's something that

740
00:36:25.559 --> 00:36:27.000
<v Speaker 10>I look forward to and I get to see it

741
00:36:27.079 --> 00:36:30.880
<v Speaker 10>every day, and you know, it's just it's impressive to

742
00:36:30.920 --> 00:36:33.400
<v Speaker 10>see what he's still able to do with you know,

743
00:36:33.599 --> 00:36:37.000
<v Speaker 10>just how competitive he is and and that's why he's

744
00:36:37.039 --> 00:36:37.480
<v Speaker 10>so good.

745
00:36:37.679 --> 00:36:39.599
<v Speaker 3>He's just he competes and he.

746
00:36:39.679 --> 00:36:42.760
<v Speaker 10>Never gives in and he's always finding a way to

747
00:36:42.800 --> 00:36:45.079
<v Speaker 10>get better. He works his butt off and you know,

748
00:36:45.199 --> 00:36:47.519
<v Speaker 10>it's just fun to be around, fun to learn and observe.

749
00:36:47.679 --> 00:36:50.280
<v Speaker 10>And yeah, I mean, what a privilege to be able

750
00:36:50.320 --> 00:36:52.800

755
00:37:04.239 --> 00:37:07.079
<v Speaker 6>I was just so so happy, you know, for him

756
00:37:07.159 --> 00:37:08.760
<v Speaker 6>and what he's done in this game.

757
00:37:09.239 --> 00:37:09.960
<v Speaker 3>Isn't it crazy?

758
00:37:10.079 --> 00:37:12.519
<v Speaker 8>That was a game first week of July against the

759
00:37:12.599 --> 00:37:15.360
<v Speaker 8>White Sox, who do not have the best of records,

760
00:37:15.440 --> 00:37:18.000
<v Speaker 8>yet it felt like a playoff atmosphere that night.

761
00:37:18.480 --> 00:37:20.599
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, I mean, he got two strikes on so many hitters.

762
00:37:20.639 --> 00:37:24.039
<v Speaker 10>I'm like, well, like come on, and you could tell.

763
00:37:24.079 --> 00:37:25.760
<v Speaker 6>I mean, you know he's trying to get it get

764
00:37:25.800 --> 00:37:26.320
<v Speaker 6>it as well.

765
00:37:26.440 --> 00:37:28.599
<v Speaker 10>And for him to do it in the you know,

766
00:37:28.679 --> 00:37:30.400
<v Speaker 10>at the sixth the end of the sixth and you

767
00:37:30.440 --> 00:37:33.360
<v Speaker 10>had to battle and to finally get it and then

768
00:37:33.440 --> 00:37:33.760
<v Speaker 10>that's it.

769
00:37:34.039 --> 00:37:35.239
<v Speaker 6>I mean, it was it was perfect.

770
00:37:35.440 --> 00:37:37.880
<v Speaker 8>So how about when he went out for the sixth

771
00:37:37.960 --> 00:37:41.079
<v Speaker 8>inning the crowd he erupted, gave him a standing ovation.

772
00:37:40.880 --> 00:37:42.239
<v Speaker 3>That was that was special.

773
00:37:42.639 --> 00:37:44.360
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, I think you know, he went out just you

774
00:37:44.400 --> 00:37:47.000
<v Speaker 10>know the guys that were coming up, and the possibility

775
00:37:47.039 --> 00:37:51.320
<v Speaker 10>of a strikeout was pretty high, and yeah, I mean

776
00:37:52.039 --> 00:37:54.039
<v Speaker 10>that was amazing. I think everyone knew that was going

777
00:37:54.119 --> 00:37:56.880
<v Speaker 10>to happen. We wanted everyone wants him to get it,

778
00:37:57.079 --> 00:37:58.559
<v Speaker 10>you know, get three thousand here.

779
00:37:58.800 --> 00:37:59.960
<v Speaker 6>You don't want him to get it on the road.

780
00:38:00.559 --> 00:38:02.519
<v Speaker 3>What do you think about his toast after the game?

781
00:38:03.079 --> 00:38:08.400
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, no, awesome, Yeah, everything, I mean that's who he is. Yeah, awesome.

782
00:38:08.960 --> 00:38:12.280
<v Speaker 8>Blake Snell is our guest, two time, two time cy

783
00:38:12.400 --> 00:38:15.639
<v Speaker 8>Young Award winner, on his way back very soon after

784
00:38:15.719 --> 00:38:18.840
<v Speaker 8>the All Star break, Blake Snell will pick up where

785
00:38:18.920 --> 00:38:22.159
<v Speaker 8>he left off in a much better way. And certainly

786
00:38:22.559 --> 00:38:25.480
<v Speaker 8>pitching herd is not fun. I was gonna ask you

787
00:38:25.599 --> 00:38:28.960
<v Speaker 8>about just Michael Conforto because you were teammates with him

788
00:38:28.960 --> 00:38:31.519
<v Speaker 8>in San Francisco. I don't know if you've heard about

789
00:38:31.840 --> 00:38:33.840
<v Speaker 8>the reason why he's come out of his slump. Have

790
00:38:33.960 --> 00:38:36.960
<v Speaker 8>you heard about how he's come out of his slump ideas?

791
00:38:37.039 --> 00:38:37.719
<v Speaker 6>But what do you got?

792
00:38:38.119 --> 00:38:41.199
<v Speaker 8>Well, I mean, there is one scenario about the new

793
00:38:41.280 --> 00:38:43.960
<v Speaker 8>bat all that that's part of the equation.

794
00:38:44.159 --> 00:38:44.960
<v Speaker 6>But JD.

795
00:38:45.159 --> 00:38:48.079
<v Speaker 8>Martinez, his only year with the Dodgers, was struggling. So

796
00:38:48.159 --> 00:38:50.920
<v Speaker 8>we did a pregame interview, and because I broke my

797
00:38:51.000 --> 00:38:54.159
<v Speaker 8>wrist going down the slide, he did get the dead

798
00:38:54.239 --> 00:38:57.320
<v Speaker 8>fish handshake. So I felt like CONFORDO needed that. Do

799
00:38:57.440 --> 00:38:59.599
<v Speaker 8>you want to feel the dead fish handshake right now?

800
00:39:00.320 --> 00:39:00.599
<v Speaker 5>Chance?

801
00:39:01.039 --> 00:39:02.599
<v Speaker 6>No, you keep that to yourself.

802
00:39:04.559 --> 00:39:06.800
<v Speaker 8>You're making it sound a lot more creepy than it is.

803
00:39:08.719 --> 00:39:10.239
<v Speaker 8>Are you sure you don't want to feel the dead

804
00:39:10.280 --> 00:39:12.800
<v Speaker 8>fish headshay, No, learn how to go down a slide.

805
00:39:14.480 --> 00:39:17.519
<v Speaker 8>I'm staying back from Milwaukee just to be safe this time.

806
00:39:17.599 --> 00:39:20.719
<v Speaker 8>I want to keep the marriage attack for one more year.

807
00:39:21.000 --> 00:39:23.440
<v Speaker 6>Yeah I like that. Yeah, No more Milwaukee trips.

808
00:39:23.760 --> 00:39:27.000
<v Speaker 8>Okay, if you need me to take the Zilla national

809
00:39:27.119 --> 00:39:29.960
<v Speaker 8>team down some slides or something before a game to

810
00:39:30.159 --> 00:39:31.360
<v Speaker 8>inspire them, let me know.

811
00:39:31.599 --> 00:39:34.400
<v Speaker 6>I think you've lost your privilege of going down a slide.

812
00:39:35.960 --> 00:39:38.519
<v Speaker 8>All right, man, Well, thank you for the time. Can't

00:39:43.480 --> 00:39:47.480

00:44:08.920 --> 00:44:11.719
<v Speaker 5>time on a sunny Saturday at Dodgers Stadium. The Dog

900
00:44:11.840 --> 00:44:13.559
<v Speaker 5>is going to try and put behind them the blowout

901
00:44:13.639 --> 00:44:16.280
<v Speaker 5>loss in Game one of the series against the Astros,

902
00:44:16.320 --> 00:44:19.519
<v Speaker 5>and they will face the stud left hander from Barvaldez,

903
00:44:19.639 --> 00:44:22.039
<v Speaker 5>and the Astros have won each of his last ten

904
00:44:22.800 --> 00:44:26.119
<v Speaker 5>games that he has started in from Barvaldezmos So he

905
00:44:26.280 --> 00:44:27.360
<v Speaker 5>is going to be a tough task.

906
00:44:27.599 --> 00:44:29.599
<v Speaker 1>What are the keys to get to them? Well, I think,

907
00:44:29.679 --> 00:44:31.880
<v Speaker 1>first of all, he's a guy that throws a lot

908
00:44:31.920 --> 00:44:34.760
<v Speaker 1>of strikes. There's no ifens and bunch about it. He

909
00:44:34.960 --> 00:44:38.599
<v Speaker 1>is now coming into this ballgame thirteen consecutive scoreless innings,

910
00:44:38.639 --> 00:44:40.960
<v Speaker 1>and it all began towards the end of May. In fact,

911
00:44:41.719 --> 00:44:43.760
<v Speaker 1>if you look at how he started this season, it

912
00:44:43.920 --> 00:44:47.400
<v Speaker 1>was not really exemplary. The first seven starts, he was

913
00:44:47.480 --> 00:44:51.039
<v Speaker 1>one in four, Era was at four. But since May seventh,

914
00:44:51.480 --> 00:44:54.639
<v Speaker 1>he's gone eight and two. That's in ten starts, as

915
00:44:54.719 --> 00:44:58.199
<v Speaker 1>Era is under two, and it really parallels to last year.

916
00:44:58.320 --> 00:45:00.400
<v Speaker 1>He got off to a rugged starter of a sudden

917
00:45:00.480 --> 00:45:02.679
<v Speaker 1>dialed it in and became one of the better pitches

918
00:45:02.719 --> 00:45:03.880
<v Speaker 1>that you're mentioning aga in baseball.

919
00:45:04.000 --> 00:45:07.440
<v Speaker 5>He is not allowed a run in thirteen innings, thirteen

920
00:45:07.519 --> 00:45:10.199
<v Speaker 5>consecutive scoreless innings for the astro starter.

921
00:45:10.360 --> 00:45:13.199
<v Speaker 1>So the Dodgers have their left handed hitting lineup in there.

922
00:45:13.239 --> 00:45:15.920
<v Speaker 5>Will Smith will bat third and Freddie Freeman will jump

923
00:45:16.000 --> 00:45:18.320
<v Speaker 5>down to the cleanup spot to Oscar Hernandez and Andy

924
00:45:18.400 --> 00:45:20.639
<v Speaker 5>Paie has to follow, and of course you got three

925
00:45:20.840 --> 00:45:24.320
<v Speaker 5>lefties sitting on the bench. Show hey Otani's thirty first birthday,

926
00:45:24.599 --> 00:45:28.440
<v Speaker 5>first time starting a game on his birthday. Then again, well,

927
00:45:28.519 --> 00:45:31.280
<v Speaker 5>as you alluded to earlier, hitting on his birthday has

928
00:45:31.400 --> 00:45:32.559
<v Speaker 5>not been easy for him either.

929
00:45:32.719 --> 00:45:35.719
<v Speaker 1>No, it hasn't, I mentioned earlier on his birthdays two

930
00:45:35.800 --> 00:45:37.719
<v Speaker 1>for twenty two. But it's going to be interesting to

931
00:45:37.800 --> 00:45:41.000
<v Speaker 1>see Otani today and Dave Roberts the plan is at

932
00:45:41.079 --> 00:45:44.119
<v Speaker 1>least coming into the game to stretch him out multiple

933
00:45:44.239 --> 00:45:46.840
<v Speaker 1>innings in today's game. We'll see how we reacts. Still,

934
00:45:46.920 --> 00:45:50.559
<v Speaker 1>kind of it seems a little weird the transition from

935
00:45:50.599 --> 00:45:52.639
<v Speaker 1>pitching at home where he's on the abound to begin with,

936
00:45:53.000 --> 00:45:55.360
<v Speaker 1>and then the leadoff hitter in the transfers that, hey

937
00:45:55.400 --> 00:45:57.079
<v Speaker 1>to the bat boy, here's my glove, here's my hat.

938
00:45:57.159 --> 00:45:59.719
<v Speaker 1>Now he give me the banning gloves and everything else.

939
00:46:00.119 --> 00:46:02.079
<v Speaker 1>Transition is still trying to get smoothed down.

940
00:46:02.239 --> 00:46:05.599
<v Speaker 5>Well, you've looked at his first three starts of the season.

941
00:46:05.679 --> 00:46:08.960
<v Speaker 5>He has struck out in the first hitting every single time,

942
00:46:09.360 --> 00:46:13.360
<v Speaker 5>So you wonder how that may evolve as the year

943
00:46:13.440 --> 00:46:15.599
<v Speaker 5>goes on. But tonight we'll get another chance to see him.

944
00:46:15.639 --> 00:46:17.840
<v Speaker 5>The fact is ball in his last outing against Kansas

945
00:46:17.880 --> 00:46:20.440
<v Speaker 5>City that was the most crisp that we have seen

946
00:46:20.519 --> 00:46:21.320
<v Speaker 5>him today, and.

947
00:46:21.440 --> 00:46:24.280
<v Speaker 1>The highest velocity that he has thrown too is over

948
00:46:24.280 --> 00:46:26.199
<v Speaker 1>one hundred miles an hour. A couple of pitches here

949
00:46:26.280 --> 00:46:28.960
<v Speaker 1>and there. I'm more interested in how he attacks the

950
00:46:29.000 --> 00:46:31.800
<v Speaker 1>strength zone, in particular the breaking both fast bowl has

951
00:46:31.800 --> 00:46:34.199
<v Speaker 1>been there. Now we'll see about the breaking stuff and

952
00:46:34.440 --> 00:46:36.239
<v Speaker 1>the continuation of throwing strikes.

953
00:46:36.280 --> 00:46:38.239
<v Speaker 5>And whenever he comes out of the game, we know

954
00:46:38.519 --> 00:46:42.159
<v Speaker 5>Justin Robleski will eventually come into it. And Robo has

955
00:46:42.239 --> 00:46:45.000
<v Speaker 5>been on an absolute role. He has turned himself into

956
00:46:45.039 --> 00:46:47.840
<v Speaker 5>a weapon. But dot He can't wait to get the baseball.

957
00:46:47.920 --> 00:46:50.880
<v Speaker 5>Oh and we love watching him. He's made some tweaks

958
00:46:51.440 --> 00:46:53.920
<v Speaker 5>with Dave Anderson down in the minor leagues. They widened

959
00:46:53.960 --> 00:46:56.000
<v Speaker 5>his base and they got a more linear down the mound,

960
00:46:56.119 --> 00:47:00.840
<v Speaker 5>and the results are speaking for themselves the last four turns.

961
00:47:01.000 --> 00:47:04.440
<v Speaker 5>So Justin Robleski following show, Hey Otani, the Dodgers gonna

962
00:47:04.440 --> 00:47:06.480
<v Speaker 5>try and even this series against the Houston Astros.

963
00:47:06.599 --> 00:47:08.800
<v Speaker 1>Can't wait. First pitch, It'll be here in a minute.

964
00:47:09.000 --> 00:47:11.679
<v Speaker 2>All right, first pitch is next Dodgers an Astros show,

965
00:47:11.760 --> 00:47:14.360
<v Speaker 2>Hey Otani on the mountain, enjoy it. This has been
