<v Speaker 2>We are live at Wrigley Field in Chicago for the

4
00:00:10.599 --> 00:00:14.320
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers and Cubs to close out their regular season series

5

<v Speaker 2>with two here in the Friendly Confines. Welcome inside to

<v Speaker 2>Dodgers have a sixteen and seven record after taking two

8
00:00:25.760 --> 00:00:28.760
<v Speaker 2>out of three over the weekend in Texas. The Dodgers

9
00:00:28.879 --> 00:00:32.119
<v Speaker 2>road trip now continues here at Wrigley Field with Dustin

10
00:00:32.240 --> 00:00:36.399
<v Speaker 2>May on the mound going up against Shota Imanaga. First

11
00:00:36.439 --> 00:00:39.359
<v Speaker 2>pitch from Wrigley Field is coming up at four point forty.

12
00:00:39.600 --> 00:00:42.759
<v Speaker 2>It's a beautiful day as of now here in the

13
00:00:42.840 --> 00:00:45.759
<v Speaker 2>North Side. Coming up over the next hour on Marongo

14
00:00:45.799 --> 00:00:49.799
<v Speaker 2>Casino Dodgers on Deck, we'll hear from Dodgers manager Dave Roberts.

15
00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:52.600
<v Speaker 2>You'll hear from one of the bullpen dogs we caught

16
00:00:52.679 --> 00:00:56.399
<v Speaker 2>up with Brent Honeywell in Texas. Also will go one

17
00:00:56.439 --> 00:00:59.520
<v Speaker 2>on one with former Dodger and now a thorn in their.

18
00:00:59.520 --> 00:01:00.759
<v Speaker 3>Side, Michael Bush.

19
00:01:01.159 --> 00:01:05.120
<v Speaker 2>Plus, we've got your Dodgers magical moment, and as always,

20
00:01:05.159 --> 00:01:08.879
<v Speaker 2>we'll check in with Rick Munday and Steven Nelson. Sunday

21
00:01:08.920 --> 00:01:12.120
<v Speaker 2>in Texas, another great pitching duel between the Dodgers and Rangers.

22
00:01:12.159 --> 00:01:16.079
<v Speaker 2>Tyler glass Now against Tyler Malee. Malley would go seven

23
00:01:16.159 --> 00:01:19.719
<v Speaker 2>shutout innings, scattering just two hits while striking out four.

24
00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:20.439
<v Speaker 4>Along the way.

25
00:01:20.920 --> 00:01:23.959
<v Speaker 2>Glass Now, on the other hand, had four shutout innings,

26
00:01:23.959 --> 00:01:26.840
<v Speaker 2>but had to leave the game early with lake cramps,

27
00:01:26.840 --> 00:01:30.120
<v Speaker 2>similar to what he experienced last year in Toronto, so

28
00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:32.920
<v Speaker 2>the Dodger bullpen had to pick him up. The Dodger

29
00:01:32.959 --> 00:01:36.879
<v Speaker 2>offense couldn't figure out Tyler Malley finally got something going

30
00:01:36.920 --> 00:01:40.319
<v Speaker 2>in the eighth inning against the Rangers' bullpen. Will Smith

31
00:01:40.400 --> 00:01:43.480
<v Speaker 2>led off with a single. A walk by O'tani set

32
00:01:43.560 --> 00:01:47.680
<v Speaker 2>up Freddie Freeman to deliver what would what turned out

33
00:01:47.719 --> 00:01:49.599
<v Speaker 2>to be the difference making run.

34
00:01:50.480 --> 00:01:53.519
<v Speaker 5>Artn out of the stretch is two to oh. Freeman

35
00:01:53.599 --> 00:02:01.280
<v Speaker 5>swings I'm left field, pushes backs lanker to make the catch,

36
00:02:01.519 --> 00:02:04.439
<v Speaker 5>tagging from third and Smith He'll come home without a throw.

37
00:02:04.799 --> 00:02:08.199
<v Speaker 5>Sacrifice five for Freddie Freeman and at long last, we

38
00:02:08.280 --> 00:02:10.520
<v Speaker 5>have a run in this game, and it belongs to

39
00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:11.759
<v Speaker 5>your boys in Blue.

40
00:02:11.919 --> 00:02:13.120
<v Speaker 1>Well nothing, Dodgers.

41
00:02:14.879 --> 00:02:17.240
<v Speaker 2>That was the only run scored in the game. On

42
00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:21.199
<v Speaker 2>Sunday in Texas, the Dodger bullpen needed to cover five

43
00:02:21.199 --> 00:02:25.759
<v Speaker 2>innings for glass Now Luis Garcia, Anthony Banda, Ben Casparius

44
00:02:25.759 --> 00:02:28.439
<v Speaker 2>pitch an inning in two thirds of scoreless relief, and

45
00:02:28.520 --> 00:02:32.000
<v Speaker 2>of course, his fellow rookie mate Jack Dryer continued his

46
00:02:32.039 --> 00:02:34.639
<v Speaker 2>scoreless inning streak. He is now at twelve and a

47
00:02:34.719 --> 00:02:39.159
<v Speaker 2>third consecutive scoreless innings. Evan Phillips, who was just activated

48
00:02:39.520 --> 00:02:42.159
<v Speaker 2>over the weekend, came back with two outs in the

49
00:02:42.199 --> 00:02:45.039
<v Speaker 2>eighth inning with a runner on second to face a

50
00:02:45.240 --> 00:02:47.919
<v Speaker 2>very dangerous Adules Garcia.

51
00:02:48.159 --> 00:02:49.199
<v Speaker 6>Semion on second.

52
00:02:49.280 --> 00:02:53.000
<v Speaker 5>After the leadoff walk, Jack Dryer got the next two outs.

53
00:02:53.400 --> 00:02:55.759
<v Speaker 5>Evan Phillips needs one more strike to finish the eighth.

54
00:02:55.759 --> 00:03:00.360
<v Speaker 5>Here's the pitch got him swinging. Heaven Phillips three pitch choose,

55
00:03:00.599 --> 00:03:01.840
<v Speaker 5>three strikes and.

56
00:03:01.879 --> 00:03:03.400
<v Speaker 1>A huge last out.

57
00:03:03.159 --> 00:03:07.639
<v Speaker 3>Of the eighth. Huge strikeout by Evan Phillips.

58
00:03:07.639 --> 00:03:09.919
<v Speaker 2>Then his buddy Tanner Scott would come in to pitch

59
00:03:09.960 --> 00:03:13.599
<v Speaker 2>the ninth inning, and Tanner Scott would be able to

60
00:03:13.639 --> 00:03:17.680
<v Speaker 2>record his eighth save of the season. The Dodgers take

61
00:03:17.719 --> 00:03:20.280
<v Speaker 2>two out of three in Texas. Like I mentioned earlier,

62
00:03:20.280 --> 00:03:23.400
<v Speaker 2>there's sixteen and seven and here they are in Chicago

63
00:03:23.919 --> 00:03:26.280
<v Speaker 2>for our first look at today's game. Let's check in

64
00:03:26.360 --> 00:03:29.479
<v Speaker 2>with my buddies here in the Gallup and Motors broadcast booth.

65
00:03:29.840 --> 00:03:33.240
<v Speaker 3>Rick Monday and Steven Nelson appreciate you DV.

66
00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:36.400
<v Speaker 5>Not far from you, Rick Monday and I looking out

67
00:03:36.439 --> 00:03:40.159
<v Speaker 5>at bring you field to friendly comfine some unfriendly skies

68
00:03:40.360 --> 00:03:43.919
<v Speaker 5>mo here in the Windy City tonight. What are your

69
00:03:43.960 --> 00:03:45.599
<v Speaker 5>sources telling you about the forecast?

70
00:03:45.680 --> 00:03:48.759
<v Speaker 6>Well, my sources and I go directly, and I'm not

71
00:03:49.080 --> 00:03:52.080
<v Speaker 6>afraid to reveal my sources. Ron Coomer, No, not the

72
00:03:52.120 --> 00:03:55.439
<v Speaker 6>most reliable. Well, I'm kidding, longtime friends and one of

73
00:03:55.439 --> 00:03:58.680
<v Speaker 6>the really nice people. Well, the Cubs have issued a

74
00:03:58.680 --> 00:04:01.319
<v Speaker 6>little bit of a statement, at least up here to

75
00:04:01.639 --> 00:04:05.479
<v Speaker 6>the Cubs broadcasters that there could be rain somewhere coming

76
00:04:05.479 --> 00:04:09.639
<v Speaker 6>after six o'clock local time and somewhere around seven thirty

77
00:04:09.680 --> 00:04:14.719
<v Speaker 6>local time. It could get well dicey, that's the possibility.

78
00:04:14.759 --> 00:04:17.000
<v Speaker 6>But one thing about it. If we look out down

79
00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:19.800
<v Speaker 6>the rightfield line, see that big patch of blue, Yes,

80
00:04:19.959 --> 00:04:22.680
<v Speaker 6>that water out there, I see Lake Michigan with the

81
00:04:22.720 --> 00:04:24.519
<v Speaker 6>Lake effect. You don't really know what's going to happen,

82
00:04:24.560 --> 00:04:26.839
<v Speaker 6>but at least that is a prediction that something that

83
00:04:26.839 --> 00:04:29.800
<v Speaker 6>could happen tonight the Midwest Ocean, of course, yes, like

84
00:04:29.879 --> 00:04:30.600
<v Speaker 6>Michigan get up.

85
00:04:30.959 --> 00:04:32.480
<v Speaker 3>Of course, no roof here.

86
00:04:32.759 --> 00:04:34.959
<v Speaker 5>We feel like there was a Globe Life Field in

87
00:04:35.120 --> 00:04:39.160
<v Speaker 5>Arlington where the Dodgers won a second consecutive series. Really

88
00:04:39.279 --> 00:04:43.839
<v Speaker 5>three tremendous baseball games mo and three incredible performances by

89
00:04:43.879 --> 00:04:46.319
<v Speaker 5>both pitching staffs. Obviously the edge going to the Dodgers

90
00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:47.480
<v Speaker 5>because they want seeing.

91
00:04:47.279 --> 00:04:49.720
<v Speaker 6>Those nice trying to analyze if we look at the

92
00:04:49.800 --> 00:04:53.560
<v Speaker 6>last well two series, the Dodgers have played okay, they

93
00:04:53.680 --> 00:04:56.560
<v Speaker 6>handled the Rockies very well, and we saw the pitching

94
00:04:56.600 --> 00:04:58.600
<v Speaker 6>that they had against the Rockies. Rockies have not been

95
00:04:58.680 --> 00:05:01.600
<v Speaker 6>in it. Now we go to t Texas, Texas Rangers,

96
00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:04.639
<v Speaker 6>leading the Western Division of the American League. They put

97
00:05:04.720 --> 00:05:06.519
<v Speaker 6>the ball into play. They had been scoring a lot

98
00:05:06.519 --> 00:05:09.800
<v Speaker 6>of runs, and yet the Dodgers' pitching staff held the

99
00:05:09.959 --> 00:05:13.639
<v Speaker 6>Rangers to very few runs. They lost one game of

100
00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:15.879
<v Speaker 6>the three in that series. That was a walk off

101
00:05:15.879 --> 00:05:19.439
<v Speaker 6>home run to win that win in Game two. But

102
00:05:19.480 --> 00:05:21.879
<v Speaker 6>the pitching was right there. The timely hitting. The other

103
00:05:21.920 --> 00:05:25.160
<v Speaker 6>thing that I don't want to have overlooked the Dodgers

104
00:05:25.319 --> 00:05:29.199
<v Speaker 6>defense has enabled the pitching staff to throw some zeros

105
00:05:29.279 --> 00:05:30.680
<v Speaker 6>up on the scoreboard.

106
00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:31.040
<v Speaker 3>No doubt.

107
00:05:31.439 --> 00:05:35.000
<v Speaker 5>So they're coming off their third shoutout win of the season,

108
00:05:35.000 --> 00:05:39.600
<v Speaker 5>their first won nothing win since August of twenty twenty

109
00:05:39.720 --> 00:05:44.879
<v Speaker 5>three for your Dodgers. So now they're playing the Cubs again.

110
00:05:44.959 --> 00:05:47.079
<v Speaker 5>This is the sixth meeting. These are the final two

111
00:05:47.199 --> 00:05:50.319
<v Speaker 5>games between these two clubs for the rest of twenty

112
00:05:50.399 --> 00:05:53.839
<v Speaker 5>twenty five. And we're still not at the end of April.

113
00:05:53.959 --> 00:05:56.800
<v Speaker 5>But these two teams, based on what we've seen so far,

114
00:05:56.920 --> 00:06:00.319
<v Speaker 5>Mo definitely look like they are a true content that

115
00:06:00.360 --> 00:06:01.240
<v Speaker 5>come out of the nationality.

116
00:06:01.480 --> 00:06:03.600
<v Speaker 6>And for the Cubs, I mean, they were fourth in

117
00:06:04.079 --> 00:06:07.480
<v Speaker 6>Major League Baseball in team average. They have scored more

118
00:06:07.560 --> 00:06:10.720
<v Speaker 6>runs than any other team in Major League Baseball to

119
00:06:10.759 --> 00:06:13.199
<v Speaker 6>this particular point, if we look at their pitching staff

120
00:06:13.560 --> 00:06:18.199
<v Speaker 6>the last eight games, they have given up thirty three runs,

121
00:06:18.240 --> 00:06:20.759
<v Speaker 6>but that comes over a lot of innings. They're era

122
00:06:21.000 --> 00:06:23.879
<v Speaker 6>In fact, for the last eight games collectively, the Cubs

123
00:06:23.920 --> 00:06:27.319
<v Speaker 6>pitching ERA is below two. So don't take them for granted.

124
00:06:27.560 --> 00:06:29.240
<v Speaker 6>And the other part that they have is we saw

125
00:06:29.279 --> 00:06:32.519
<v Speaker 6>in that series in Dodger Stadium they will be aggressive

126
00:06:32.560 --> 00:06:33.800
<v Speaker 6>if they're on the basis.

127
00:06:33.519 --> 00:06:35.759
<v Speaker 5>Well, no doubt about that. All right, Dustin may Showta

128
00:06:35.839 --> 00:06:38.839
<v Speaker 5>Yu Managa. It's a tremendous pitching matchup. Runs probably will

129
00:06:38.839 --> 00:06:41.199
<v Speaker 5>be at a premium depending on the wind. Of course,

130
00:06:41.480 --> 00:06:44.399
<v Speaker 5>we'll talk more about that matchup. We visit with you again, dB.

131
00:06:45.639 --> 00:06:46.639
<v Speaker 3>All right, thanks guys.

132
00:06:46.680 --> 00:06:48.839
<v Speaker 2>We will check in with Rick and Steven a little

133
00:06:48.839 --> 00:06:51.360
<v Speaker 2>bit later, and we are counting you down to first pitch.

00:08:01.160 --> 00:08:03.920
<v Speaker 2>on Sunday, but was zero for three with a walk.

151
00:08:04.360 --> 00:08:06.959
<v Speaker 2>The Dodgers beat the Rangers one to nothing. Out here

152
00:08:06.959 --> 00:08:10.439
<v Speaker 2>in Chicago. Otani came out here to play catch as

<v Speaker 2>he continues his throwing program to one day pitch again

154
00:08:14.439 --> 00:08:15.319
<v Speaker 2>for the Dodgers.

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

00:08:38.799 --> 00:08:41.320
<v Speaker 2>it up, Kirsten. It says a lot about a person

163
00:08:41.399 --> 00:08:42.440
<v Speaker 2>how messy their car is.

164
00:08:42.480 --> 00:08:43.159
<v Speaker 3>Don't you agree?

165
00:08:43.440 --> 00:08:45.879
<v Speaker 7>I do, because mine is spotless. Yes, this means I

166
00:08:45.879 --> 00:08:47.039
<v Speaker 7>think I'm a really great person.

167
00:08:47.320 --> 00:08:47.799
<v Speaker 3>I agree.

168
00:08:47.960 --> 00:08:52.399
<v Speaker 2>Very very stylish, very stylish and always well groomed.

169
00:08:52.559 --> 00:08:52.720
<v Speaker 3>Yep.

170
00:08:52.799 --> 00:08:55.679
<v Speaker 7>And I have told Jack that you know just the

171
00:08:55.720 --> 00:08:58.519
<v Speaker 7>beautiful thing. Every time you park at the stadium, there

172
00:08:58.600 --> 00:09:01.240
<v Speaker 7>is a trash can as soon as you walk in,

173
00:09:01.480 --> 00:09:04.240
<v Speaker 7>so you could just empty it on your way in.

174
00:09:04.279 --> 00:09:07.080
<v Speaker 7>And you know what, no doubt, no doubt that's true.

175
00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:08.440
<v Speaker 7>It was clean in the app, it was clean in

176
00:09:08.480 --> 00:09:09.440
<v Speaker 7>the docu series though.

177
00:09:09.519 --> 00:09:12.080
<v Speaker 2>All right, yeah, fine, yeah, we saw that. We won't

178
00:09:12.080 --> 00:09:17.559
<v Speaker 2>talk about how Apple completely torpedoed me. Yes, right, yes,

179
00:09:17.879 --> 00:09:19.600
<v Speaker 2>it's okay, wasted a lot of our time.

180
00:09:19.840 --> 00:09:20.879
<v Speaker 4>We I don't know if I'll say all that.

181
00:09:20.960 --> 00:09:23.399
<v Speaker 7>It was fun to be like interviewed, but we were not.

182
00:09:23.360 --> 00:09:23.840
<v Speaker 3>In the show.

183
00:09:23.879 --> 00:09:26.720
<v Speaker 2>And no, they only had me say Jack flaerty didn't

184
00:09:26.720 --> 00:09:30.639
<v Speaker 2>have it in game five. That's what everybody saw me anyway,

185
00:09:30.720 --> 00:09:31.960
<v Speaker 2>Kiersten one.

186
00:09:32.000 --> 00:09:35.200
<v Speaker 7>So it's fine, either here nor there. We're now in Chicago.

187
00:09:35.279 --> 00:09:36.639
<v Speaker 3>We'll move on. We don't need Apple.

188
00:09:36.919 --> 00:09:41.080
<v Speaker 2>I'm unsubscribing by the way, you were talking about pickle juice?

189
00:09:41.120 --> 00:09:45.159
<v Speaker 2>Are we still talking about Tyler glassnow? Some fortunate dehydration.

190
00:09:45.240 --> 00:09:47.639
<v Speaker 7>We are more of though, just kind of the impact

191
00:09:47.679 --> 00:09:49.559
<v Speaker 7>that we saw last year of it. So last year

192
00:09:49.600 --> 00:09:51.320
<v Speaker 7>in April he actually dealt with the same thing when

193
00:09:51.320 --> 00:09:53.279
<v Speaker 7>he played the Blue Jays, and he even said that,

194
00:09:53.320 --> 00:09:55.799
<v Speaker 7>you know, it's a very similar experience. I think a

195
00:09:55.799 --> 00:09:58.159
<v Speaker 7>part of it is just we're super tall. You know,

196
00:09:58.279 --> 00:10:00.240
<v Speaker 7>it takes a lot to hydrate all these bodies. So

197
00:10:00.799 --> 00:10:03.000
<v Speaker 7>I actually have tried pickle jew shots before.

198
00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:04.240
<v Speaker 3>Now what does that do?

199
00:10:05.200 --> 00:10:07.600
<v Speaker 7>I mean, I think it just hydrates you with potassium. Yeah,

200
00:10:07.639 --> 00:10:09.159
<v Speaker 7>I think it's the potassium from the pickles.

201
00:10:09.159 --> 00:10:10.919
<v Speaker 3>All right, Yeah, good to know. There you go. You

202
00:10:10.960 --> 00:10:12.919
<v Speaker 3>got your health tip of the day from Kirstin.

203
00:10:13.360 --> 00:10:15.720
<v Speaker 7>Hopefully that's not right. That is not provided by a

204
00:10:15.799 --> 00:10:18.759
<v Speaker 7>medical official. That is just from my own thoughts.

205
00:10:18.600 --> 00:10:19.840
<v Speaker 3>So let's be very clear.

206
00:10:20.240 --> 00:10:22.480
<v Speaker 7>But he said it worked for him last year, and

207
00:10:22.720 --> 00:10:24.960
<v Speaker 7>hopefully I mean he's out there playing catch right now,

208
00:10:24.960 --> 00:10:26.559
<v Speaker 7>so he seems to be all good. So hopefully that

209
00:10:26.639 --> 00:10:28.279
<v Speaker 7>might have been the remedy this year as well.

210
00:10:28.440 --> 00:10:31.039
<v Speaker 2>When you saw him, did you remind Glass now, maybe

211
00:10:31.039 --> 00:10:33.159
<v Speaker 2>a pickle juice shot could help.

212
00:10:33.399 --> 00:10:35.919
<v Speaker 7>I did not remind him, But if he is still

213
00:10:35.960 --> 00:10:38.879
<v Speaker 7>experiencing the cramping today, I will remind him. But they

214
00:10:38.960 --> 00:10:41.639
<v Speaker 7>have they have pickle juice shots in the clubhouse. It

215
00:10:41.759 --> 00:10:43.840
<v Speaker 7>is a thing that athletes have used in the past.

216
00:10:44.279 --> 00:10:46.639
<v Speaker 7>I tried the pickle juice shot that they give them,

217
00:10:46.679 --> 00:10:49.240
<v Speaker 7>and I will say it's kind of nasty. If I'm

218
00:10:49.279 --> 00:10:52.120
<v Speaker 7>being honest, I do. I can drink pickle juice.

219
00:10:51.879 --> 00:10:53.639
<v Speaker 3>Though, all right, yeah sounds good.

220
00:10:53.679 --> 00:10:56.840
<v Speaker 2>My daughter loves pickles, same same. I like bread and

221
00:10:56.879 --> 00:10:57.639
<v Speaker 2>butter pickles.

222
00:10:58.000 --> 00:11:00.519
<v Speaker 7>Oh I don't Actually those are too sweet. But I

223
00:11:00.559 --> 00:11:03.120
<v Speaker 7>do like if there's the ones in the pack and

224
00:11:03.120 --> 00:11:05.000
<v Speaker 7>I all chopped up, they get a little spicy. One

225
00:11:06.240 --> 00:11:06.840
<v Speaker 7>ten out of ten.

226
00:11:07.000 --> 00:11:09.519
<v Speaker 2>I feel like this segment is way better than anything

227
00:11:09.559 --> 00:11:11.600
<v Speaker 2>you've done with Tim Kates all season long.

228
00:11:11.720 --> 00:11:13.320
<v Speaker 7>I think this might win us a lot of awards,

229
00:11:13.600 --> 00:11:17.000
<v Speaker 7>maybe like in the dal Pickole Awards. I just kidding.

230
00:11:17.039 --> 00:11:17.519
<v Speaker 3>We've learned.

231
00:11:17.559 --> 00:11:20.600
<v Speaker 2>We've learned three things Apple did a bad job on

232
00:11:20.639 --> 00:11:24.639
<v Speaker 2>the docu series using us. Jack Harris's car is super messy.

233
00:11:25.200 --> 00:11:28.600
<v Speaker 2>And number three, pickle juice can help you stay hydrated.

234
00:11:28.600 --> 00:11:29.639
<v Speaker 3>We'll do this again tomorrow.

235
00:11:29.759 --> 00:11:32.000
<v Speaker 7>Do it again tomorrow, see you then see then.

236
00:11:32.240 --> 00:11:35.240
<v Speaker 2>Kirsten Watson still to come here on Morongo Casino.

238
00:11:38.159 --> 00:11:41.159
<v Speaker 2>I'll go one on one with Dodger killer Michael Bush

239
00:11:41.360 --> 00:11:43.399
<v Speaker 2>and we'll get you an injury report. And here from

<v Speaker 2>I'm David Vasse and this is the world champion Los

<v Speaker 2>David Vasse live at Wrigley Field in Chicago. Getting you

248
00:12:11.759 --> 00:12:14.759
<v Speaker 2>said for first pitch between the Dodgers and Cubs at

249
00:12:14.840 --> 00:12:18.879

252
00:12:25.799 --> 00:12:27.759
<v Speaker 3>It's time now for the injury report.

253
00:12:28.360 --> 00:12:34.679
<v Speaker 1>This he's the LA Dodgers Injury Report.

254
00:12:34.279 --> 00:12:38.480
<v Speaker 2>Our Dodger Injury Report, presented by UCLA Health, the official

255
00:12:38.519 --> 00:12:41.240
<v Speaker 2>medical partner of the Los Angeles Dodgers.

256
00:12:41.240 --> 00:12:43.000
<v Speaker 3>So I have an update on Blake Snell.

257
00:12:43.399 --> 00:12:46.200
<v Speaker 2>He played catch today and Dave Roberts said, if all

258
00:12:46.240 --> 00:12:48.120
<v Speaker 2>went well, Snell is going.

259
00:12:47.960 --> 00:12:49.360
<v Speaker 3>To throw a bullpen session.

260
00:12:49.799 --> 00:12:53.120
<v Speaker 2>Not sure the details, but the Dodgers have decided not

261
00:12:53.279 --> 00:12:56.879
<v Speaker 2>to have Snell throw a bullpen session tomorrow. And also,

262
00:12:57.320 --> 00:13:00.440
<v Speaker 2>a future Hall of Famer is making his second rehabs

263
00:13:00.480 --> 00:13:04.480
<v Speaker 2>start tonight for the Tulsa Drillers. Clayton Kershaw is in

264
00:13:04.759 --> 00:13:08.480
<v Speaker 2>Arkansas getting ready for his second rehab start, so we'll

265
00:13:08.519 --> 00:13:11.480
<v Speaker 2>give you an update on that after the game. For now,

266
00:13:11.720 --> 00:13:14.519
<v Speaker 2>let's head downstairs and let you hear from Dave Roberts

267
00:13:14.559 --> 00:13:18.440
<v Speaker 2>in the dugout questions.

268
00:13:18.120 --> 00:13:20.679
<v Speaker 6>For Dave, Dave, can you just describe Dave?

269
00:13:20.759 --> 00:13:24.200
<v Speaker 1>Can you talk about the pressure in the dugouts with

270
00:13:24.399 --> 00:13:25.519
<v Speaker 1>Dave Roberts?

271
00:13:26.039 --> 00:13:30.080
<v Speaker 8>You know, it is challenging, it's different, unusual. This team

272
00:13:30.200 --> 00:13:34.080
<v Speaker 8>is a completely different ball club than we saw in Tokyo.

273
00:13:34.200 --> 00:13:39.679
<v Speaker 8>They're playing a lot better, and so I expect to

274
00:13:39.679 --> 00:13:42.000
<v Speaker 8>see the same team we saw in La. So it's

275
00:13:42.000 --> 00:13:43.759
<v Speaker 8>gonna be a good series. I think runs gonna be

276
00:13:43.759 --> 00:13:47.480
<v Speaker 8>hard to come by. Hopefully we do a better job

277
00:13:47.519 --> 00:13:50.440
<v Speaker 8>of preventing runs against these guys that here than we

278
00:13:50.480 --> 00:13:52.759
<v Speaker 8>did at home. But it should be a good series.

279
00:13:52.799 --> 00:13:55.279
<v Speaker 8>And I think that it's more of a yeah, you know,

280
00:13:55.320 --> 00:13:59.679
<v Speaker 8>we saw Imanaga, we saw BOYD. You know, they saw

281
00:13:59.679 --> 00:14:01.679
<v Speaker 8>our so a little bit of the cat and mouse

282
00:14:01.759 --> 00:14:02.720
<v Speaker 8>kind of comes into play.

283
00:14:02.759 --> 00:14:02.879
<v Speaker 6>Now.

284
00:14:03.200 --> 00:14:05.879
<v Speaker 2>He was obviously pretty busy, but did showing brow when

285
00:14:05.919 --> 00:14:09.320
<v Speaker 2>he was on leaving his drowing progression change and all

286
00:14:10.039 --> 00:14:10.480
<v Speaker 2>of lace.

287
00:14:10.879 --> 00:14:12.480
<v Speaker 8>I know it hasn't changed.

288
00:14:13.120 --> 00:14:14.519
<v Speaker 6>I don't know if he threw when he.

289
00:14:14.519 --> 00:14:18.240
<v Speaker 8>Was back home, he played catch today he's out there.

290
00:14:18.320 --> 00:14:19.759
<v Speaker 8>I think we're just just out there.

291
00:14:19.840 --> 00:14:20.639
<v Speaker 3>We'll be out there.

292
00:14:20.879 --> 00:14:24.039
<v Speaker 8>He's gonna throw a light pen tomorrow and then he'll

293
00:14:24.039 --> 00:14:28.600
<v Speaker 8>go back to his kind of full blown bullpen on Saturday.

294
00:14:28.679 --> 00:14:32.360
<v Speaker 2>All right, there's manager Dave Roberts in the visiting dugout

295
00:14:32.360 --> 00:14:36.080
<v Speaker 2>here at Wrigley Field. When we continue on Arongo Casino

296
00:14:36.159 --> 00:14:39.399
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers on Deck, you will hear from twenty twenty four

297
00:14:39.960 --> 00:14:43.000
<v Speaker 2>world champion Brent Honeywell and case he missed it. Over

298
00:14:43.039 --> 00:14:46.200
<v Speaker 2>the weekend, Honeywell came to Globe lie Field and was

299
00:14:46.279 --> 00:14:47.759
<v Speaker 2>surprised with his.

300
00:14:47.759 --> 00:14:50.240
<v Speaker 3>World Series ring. We got a lot more to go

301
00:14:50.399 --> 00:14:52.320
<v Speaker 3>until first pitch at four forty.

302
00:14:52.600 --> 00:14:55.559
<v Speaker 2>I'm David Vasse and this is the world champion Los

303
00:14:55.600 --> 00:14:57.480

311
00:15:26.440 --> 00:15:29.360
<v Speaker 2>to the game. Out in Texas, we caught up with

312
00:15:29.399 --> 00:15:31.759
<v Speaker 2>Brent Honeywell. You'll hear from him in a moment, but

313
00:15:31.840 --> 00:15:34.480
<v Speaker 2>I want to remind you that Dodger baseball is driven

314
00:15:34.519 --> 00:15:35.120
<v Speaker 2>by Ford.

315
00:15:35.399 --> 00:15:37.639
<v Speaker 3>If there's one thing we like, it's choices.

316
00:15:38.000 --> 00:15:41.360
<v Speaker 2>Find yours with the Ford F one fifty gas hybrid

317
00:15:41.799 --> 00:15:45.679
<v Speaker 2>or all electric tough This mark can only be called

318
00:15:45.799 --> 00:15:49.639
<v Speaker 2>for F one fifty. All right, Brent Honeywell, funny guy

319
00:15:49.919 --> 00:15:52.960
<v Speaker 2>and mean a lot to the Dodgers and their bullpen.

320
00:15:53.399 --> 00:15:55.840
<v Speaker 2>He did a lot of unselfish things to be a

321
00:15:55.879 --> 00:15:57.960
<v Speaker 2>great teammate to help the Dodgers.

322
00:15:57.559 --> 00:15:58.600
<v Speaker 3>Win the World Series.

323
00:15:58.799 --> 00:16:02.279
<v Speaker 2>Here was our conversation with Honeywell after he was surprised

324
00:16:02.600 --> 00:16:05.159
<v Speaker 2>with his World Series ring by his teammates.

325
00:16:05.759 --> 00:16:07.840
<v Speaker 9>Thanks for having me. Good to see you guys. Oh

326
00:16:07.960 --> 00:16:09.840
<v Speaker 9>y'all talk to y'all.

327
00:16:10.200 --> 00:16:12.000
<v Speaker 3>Yes you're talking to David.

328
00:16:12.440 --> 00:16:15.360
<v Speaker 4>I know I was a little bit under the weather.

329
00:16:16.679 --> 00:16:17.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah you were.

330
00:16:18.519 --> 00:16:21.759
<v Speaker 9>I've felt so bad all off season two about it.

331
00:16:21.840 --> 00:16:24.519
<v Speaker 2>No way, nothing to feel bad about your World champion

332
00:16:24.720 --> 00:16:27.320
<v Speaker 2>and the Dodgers surprised champions.

333
00:16:27.960 --> 00:16:29.960
<v Speaker 3>You did all the work. I was along for the ride.

334
00:16:30.240 --> 00:16:32.320
<v Speaker 4>Well, nobody better to have along.

335
00:16:32.600 --> 00:16:35.879
<v Speaker 2>Thank you appreciate it. Hey man, I knew the Dodgers

336
00:16:35.879 --> 00:16:37.840
<v Speaker 2>were going to surprise you with the ring. You had

337
00:16:37.879 --> 00:16:40.320
<v Speaker 2>no idea, no clue, no clue.

338
00:16:40.440 --> 00:16:42.759
<v Speaker 4>I wanted it on the field, but hadn't worked out

339
00:16:42.799 --> 00:16:44.279
<v Speaker 4>just yet. But I'm glad I got it now.

340
00:16:44.399 --> 00:16:47.200
<v Speaker 3>So I'm sure that was the last thing on your

341
00:16:47.240 --> 00:16:48.440
<v Speaker 3>mind when you showed up today.

342
00:16:48.679 --> 00:16:51.279
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, I mean it kind of was, because I just

343
00:16:51.360 --> 00:16:53.399
<v Speaker 9>it was good to see the guys, see Dog, see

344
00:16:53.440 --> 00:16:54.440
<v Speaker 9>the pitching guys.

345
00:16:54.240 --> 00:17:02.039
<v Speaker 4>And everybody that it took to win, like win one.

346
00:17:02.080 --> 00:17:06.200
<v Speaker 4>I mean, going having some time to.

347
00:17:06.160 --> 00:17:09.400
<v Speaker 9>Think about it and talk to friends about it, Like

348
00:17:10.799 --> 00:17:13.720
<v Speaker 9>all the experiences are cool, but something that you can't

349
00:17:14.839 --> 00:17:18.200
<v Speaker 9>do with it is like you'll never get rid of it.

350
00:17:18.480 --> 00:17:23.160
<v Speaker 9>You know, it's a weird feeling. But now, I mean

351
00:17:23.599 --> 00:17:27.640
<v Speaker 9>ultimately now I want another one. But no, I just

352
00:17:27.720 --> 00:17:29.759
<v Speaker 9>know how how hard it was for all of us

353
00:17:29.759 --> 00:17:34.240
<v Speaker 9>in here. It's a when Clayton went down, Blast went down,

354
00:17:34.319 --> 00:17:37.680
<v Speaker 9>and it's like you see, like you finally understand like

355
00:17:37.720 --> 00:17:42.599
<v Speaker 9>what it actually takes to to win. It takes every person,

356
00:17:42.680 --> 00:17:45.240
<v Speaker 9>every fan, you like, it takes us all to takes

357
00:17:45.279 --> 00:17:48.359
<v Speaker 9>us all to win it, so I appreciate you guys.

358
00:17:48.880 --> 00:17:49.079
<v Speaker 3>Man.

359
00:17:49.119 --> 00:17:51.839
<v Speaker 2>It was such a special run, unprecedented type of run

360
00:17:51.880 --> 00:17:54.279
<v Speaker 2>where you only had two and a half starters. But

361
00:17:54.759 --> 00:17:58.400
<v Speaker 2>the dogs in that bullpen, including Brent Honeywell, saved the day.

362
00:17:58.759 --> 00:18:00.839
<v Speaker 9>Hey, you know that's what they say. We saved the day.

363
00:18:00.880 --> 00:18:05.160
<v Speaker 9>But these guys can hit. Man, these guys can hit

364
00:18:06.079 --> 00:18:10.839
<v Speaker 9>big leagues. Isn't easy, but these guys made it easy

365
00:18:10.880 --> 00:18:16.079
<v Speaker 9>on me. I felt like and no, I'm oh a

366
00:18:16.079 --> 00:18:17.920
<v Speaker 9>lot to everybody that was in this clubhouse, and it

367
00:18:17.960 --> 00:18:18.480
<v Speaker 9>was good to see it.

368
00:18:19.119 --> 00:18:21.559
<v Speaker 2>What was your reaction when you saw the ring? Did

369
00:18:21.599 --> 00:18:23.880
<v Speaker 2>you know that it opened at the top? What did

370
00:18:23.920 --> 00:18:24.359
<v Speaker 2>you feel?

371
00:18:25.640 --> 00:18:28.680
<v Speaker 9>I knew it opened because I seen it on social media,

372
00:18:28.799 --> 00:18:32.440
<v Speaker 9>but I wasn't expecting to get it here because I didn't.

373
00:18:32.440 --> 00:18:34.640
<v Speaker 9>I didn't tell anybody that I was coming except one.

374
00:18:34.920 --> 00:18:38.039
<v Speaker 9>But he's a I guess he ratted me out.

375
00:18:38.720 --> 00:18:39.960
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, he ain't a good way, but.

376
00:18:41.599 --> 00:18:45.400
<v Speaker 9>No, I mean, it's just a the jersey. The jersey

377
00:18:45.480 --> 00:18:49.440
<v Speaker 9>is the one that I really liked the jersey. But

378
00:18:49.559 --> 00:18:51.400
<v Speaker 9>like I said, man, you know, it was good to

379
00:18:51.440 --> 00:18:53.519
<v Speaker 9>see the guys. It's good to see the bullpen guys

380
00:18:53.720 --> 00:18:55.440
<v Speaker 9>to see everybody in there, man, I mean it means

381
00:18:55.440 --> 00:18:56.000
<v Speaker 9>a lot to me.

382
00:18:56.759 --> 00:18:58.559
<v Speaker 4>Man. I mean it just you know, more she in,

383
00:18:58.720 --> 00:19:00.839
<v Speaker 4>the more she into the game a little bit, you know.

384
00:19:01.200 --> 00:19:03.319
<v Speaker 4>And the cool part about.

385
00:19:03.119 --> 00:19:06.200
<v Speaker 9>It is is when you throw fifty pitches in one

386
00:19:06.200 --> 00:19:07.880
<v Speaker 9>inning in the World Series, you can get a record

387
00:19:07.920 --> 00:19:11.839
<v Speaker 9>etching stone right now. Yeah, but you get intertwined in

388
00:19:11.839 --> 00:19:14.000
<v Speaker 9>the sport for eternal and your eternal.

389
00:19:14.079 --> 00:19:15.319
<v Speaker 4>Man, it just is what it is.

390
00:19:15.359 --> 00:19:17.680
<v Speaker 9>I mean, there's only one man that's eternal. But it

391
00:19:17.839 --> 00:19:21.559
<v Speaker 9>makes you internal in the sport and you get intertwined.

392
00:19:21.079 --> 00:19:26.079
<v Speaker 4>And and I think, which is the greatest game in

393
00:19:26.519 --> 00:19:27.160
<v Speaker 4>the whole world.

394
00:19:27.240 --> 00:19:30.240
<v Speaker 2>So hey, one thing nobody can ever take away from

410
00:20:26.680 --> 00:20:30.440
<v Speaker 2>Wrigley Field as temperatures start to warm up. There's some

411
00:20:30.640 --> 00:20:33.440
<v Speaker 2>rain in the area, but hopefully they stay away from

412

<v Speaker 2>We are going way back to August two, twenty fourteen,

418
00:20:58.759 --> 00:21:02.880
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers at home facing these Chicago Cubs. The game

419
00:21:02.920 --> 00:21:05.759
<v Speaker 2>went into extra innings, tight at two, and in the

420
00:21:05.839 --> 00:21:09.880
<v Speaker 2>twelfth inning two on and two out. Blake Parker was

421
00:21:09.960 --> 00:21:14.039
<v Speaker 2>the pitcher for the Cubs, facing the current Dodger at

422
00:21:14.119 --> 00:21:16.720
<v Speaker 2>that time, Hanley Ramirez.

423
00:21:16.759 --> 00:21:19.119
<v Speaker 10>First and second, two out. Twelfth inning, tied at two.

424
00:21:19.240 --> 00:21:21.839

425
00:21:21.920 --> 00:21:25.240
<v Speaker 10>left field line and we can go home, kids, a

426
00:21:25.480 --> 00:21:29.880
<v Speaker 10>three run home run into the neighborhood once known as

427
00:21:30.119 --> 00:21:30.880

429
00:21:35.559 --> 00:21:38.319

431
00:21:42.480 --> 00:21:45.640
<v Speaker 11>it five to two.

432
00:21:46.039 --> 00:21:49.119
<v Speaker 2>That game before the pitch clock, took a total of

433
00:21:49.279 --> 00:21:52.599
<v Speaker 2>four hours and thirty nine minutes to play. The Dodgers

434
00:21:52.640 --> 00:21:55.799
<v Speaker 2>came out on top five to two and twelve innings

435
00:21:55.799 --> 00:21:58.680
<v Speaker 2>the week Monday, and Charlie Steiner on the call that night.

436
00:21:59.039 --> 00:22:00.359
<v Speaker 3>And here's a fun fact.

437
00:22:00.359 --> 00:22:03.240
<v Speaker 2>Do you know who the Dodgers traded for handling Ramirez?

438
00:22:03.799 --> 00:22:08.759
<v Speaker 2>None other than two time world champion Nathan Valdi. This

471
00:24:03.680 --> 00:24:06.599

479
00:24:22.279 --> 00:24:25.920
<v Speaker 1>and World Series Champion Dodger Rick Monday.

480
00:24:27.200 --> 00:24:30.039
<v Speaker 2>Rick, we got fancy things going on on this pregame show.

481
00:24:30.160 --> 00:24:33.160
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, absolutely, you know, I tell you what haffe has

482
00:24:33.160 --> 00:24:36.599
<v Speaker 6>really aged well, you know, for being listening to you

483
00:24:36.680 --> 00:24:39.000
<v Speaker 6>and everything you say. I take his gospel. Cru so

484
00:24:39.279 --> 00:24:40.559
<v Speaker 6>been around for a thousand years.

485
00:24:40.759 --> 00:24:41.759
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, can you believe that?

486
00:24:41.799 --> 00:24:44.319
<v Speaker 6>Well, you might as well associate yourself with winners, you.

487
00:24:44.319 --> 00:24:48.720
<v Speaker 3>Know, oh man, one hundred years of Hafey.

488
00:24:48.839 --> 00:24:52.960
<v Speaker 2>Rick certainly Rickleyfield has been around that long as well.

489
00:24:53.039 --> 00:24:56.680
<v Speaker 6>Well, this seems like and hopefully the weather's going to

490
00:24:56.720 --> 00:24:59.240
<v Speaker 6>hold out, you know, if it comes. They showed me

491
00:24:59.319 --> 00:25:02.079
<v Speaker 6>some information about an hour and a half ago that

492
00:25:02.160 --> 00:25:07.000
<v Speaker 6>they were projecting somewhere around seven thirty local time that

493
00:25:07.079 --> 00:25:09.279
<v Speaker 6>it could get a little bit ugly. It's been kind

494
00:25:09.279 --> 00:25:11.640
<v Speaker 6>of strange. It was a beautiful afternoon. Then we saw

495
00:25:11.680 --> 00:25:13.599
<v Speaker 6>some clouds here at Wrigley Field. Well the clouds have

496
00:25:13.680 --> 00:25:15.680
<v Speaker 6>gone away. They're starting to sneak back in a little

497
00:25:15.720 --> 00:25:19.680
<v Speaker 6>bit more. But one thing about it here in Wrigleyville.

498
00:25:19.960 --> 00:25:24.039
<v Speaker 6>I remember Joey Malfatano, who coached here in Chicago with

499
00:25:24.079 --> 00:25:27.279
<v Speaker 6>the Cubs, obviously coached with the Dodgers, and an excellent

500
00:25:27.279 --> 00:25:29.480
<v Speaker 6>coach and a very good friend. He would talk about

501
00:25:29.519 --> 00:25:31.160
<v Speaker 6>one of the things he wanted to do is to

502
00:25:31.200 --> 00:25:34.400
<v Speaker 6>get here to Wrigley Field and in this area and

503
00:25:34.519 --> 00:25:37.920
<v Speaker 6>watch Wrigleyville, as they call it, all the surrounding area

504
00:25:38.519 --> 00:25:42.319
<v Speaker 6>really become and come to life, if you will. And

505
00:25:42.359 --> 00:25:48.119
<v Speaker 6>there's one establishment out beyond center field that they understand

506
00:25:48.119 --> 00:25:52.200
<v Speaker 6>that the team buses come through that area. And they

507
00:25:52.279 --> 00:25:54.680
<v Speaker 6>posted another sign today and I don't know if you

508
00:25:54.759 --> 00:25:55.039
<v Speaker 6>saw it.

509
00:25:55.119 --> 00:25:56.400
<v Speaker 3>I did not come that way.

510
00:25:57.319 --> 00:26:00.240
<v Speaker 6>It just said the Cubs in Monaga is on the

511
00:26:00.279 --> 00:26:04.319
<v Speaker 6>mound and so and Otani's not so. And every day

512
00:26:04.400 --> 00:26:07.240
<v Speaker 6>they try and agitate the visiting team that is coming

513
00:26:07.279 --> 00:26:09.400
<v Speaker 6>in and they put up on their on their billboard

514
00:26:09.960 --> 00:26:14.079
<v Speaker 6>some letters. So over the years has been somewhat entertaining, uh,

515
00:26:14.200 --> 00:26:18.640
<v Speaker 6>sometimes a little frustrating, and sometimes depending upon if they're

516
00:26:18.640 --> 00:26:21.440
<v Speaker 6>getting on you or not, maybe a little bit painful.

517
00:26:21.599 --> 00:26:24.119
<v Speaker 2>I find it hard to believe the hometown fans would

518
00:26:24.160 --> 00:26:26.759
<v Speaker 2>ever get on Rick Monday when you were patrolling center

519
00:26:26.799 --> 00:26:27.279
<v Speaker 2>field here.

520
00:26:27.279 --> 00:26:29.000
<v Speaker 6>Oh yeah, we had good times here. You know what

521
00:26:29.039 --> 00:26:30.799
<v Speaker 6>people don't understand. I don't know if it's the same

522
00:26:30.839 --> 00:26:33.480
<v Speaker 6>way now, but it used to be a totally separate

523
00:26:33.559 --> 00:26:37.559
<v Speaker 6>group in the left field bleachers versus the right field bleachers.

524
00:26:37.680 --> 00:26:40.680
<v Speaker 6>And there were times when I was playing here, did

525
00:26:40.680 --> 00:26:44.400
<v Speaker 6>you would get one side of the bleachers start yelling

526
00:26:44.559 --> 00:26:46.880
<v Speaker 6>at the other side and giving them what for and

527
00:26:46.960 --> 00:26:49.480
<v Speaker 6>back back and forth. So you know, you either a

528
00:26:49.559 --> 00:26:52.920
<v Speaker 6>right field bleacher person or a left field bleacher person.

529
00:26:53.400 --> 00:26:55.799
<v Speaker 3>What are the feelings you get coming back here since

530
00:26:55.799 --> 00:26:56.319
<v Speaker 3>you played here?

531
00:26:56.440 --> 00:26:59.640
<v Speaker 6>Well, you know, both my children were born in this city.

532
00:27:00.119 --> 00:27:04.759
<v Speaker 6>It obviously has a special meaning. And I think the

533
00:27:04.799 --> 00:27:06.319
<v Speaker 6>way that you are received because I went from the

534
00:27:06.359 --> 00:27:08.680
<v Speaker 6>America League to the National League, and I was exposed

535
00:27:08.680 --> 00:27:10.799
<v Speaker 6>to the Dodgers when they came to LA and I

536
00:27:10.920 --> 00:27:13.319
<v Speaker 6>enjoyed the National League better than the America I knew

537
00:27:13.319 --> 00:27:16.440
<v Speaker 6>more about it. So for me, it was an opportunity

538
00:27:16.480 --> 00:27:19.200
<v Speaker 6>to come to the National League. I had to learn

539
00:27:19.240 --> 00:27:22.680
<v Speaker 6>the hitters all over again. This is when you look

540
00:27:22.720 --> 00:27:25.799
<v Speaker 6>at it, you say, well, the friendly confines, well, it's

541
00:27:25.799 --> 00:27:28.519
<v Speaker 6>three hundred and sixty eight feet to left center and

542
00:27:28.599 --> 00:27:30.240
<v Speaker 6>the right center. I didn't have to turn around to

543
00:27:30.240 --> 00:27:33.240
<v Speaker 6>look at the numbers. I know those numbers, and straightaway

544
00:27:33.279 --> 00:27:37.160
<v Speaker 6>center is a little bit deeper. But the reason I

545
00:27:37.200 --> 00:27:39.319
<v Speaker 6>bring up to three sixty eight and left center right

546
00:27:39.359 --> 00:27:42.359
<v Speaker 6>center it really cuts off your angle of attack as

547
00:27:42.400 --> 00:27:45.519
<v Speaker 6>a center fielder because you're playing deep and if you

548
00:27:45.559 --> 00:27:49.599
<v Speaker 6>go to left center to right center, the wall will

549
00:27:49.839 --> 00:27:53.000
<v Speaker 6>really shorten your opportunity. And you get a good look

550
00:27:53.039 --> 00:27:55.839
<v Speaker 6>at it right now because the ivy has not blossomed,

551
00:27:55.880 --> 00:27:58.440
<v Speaker 6>it has not come out full, so you see the

552
00:27:58.519 --> 00:28:02.759
<v Speaker 6>vines and underneath the vines cold red brick. So if

553
00:28:02.799 --> 00:28:05.200
<v Speaker 6>your angle to cut off a bolt or trying to

554
00:28:05.240 --> 00:28:07.759
<v Speaker 6>go up and make a ketch is going to be

555
00:28:08.480 --> 00:28:11.400
<v Speaker 6>interrupted by the wall. The brick has been there for

556
00:28:11.440 --> 00:28:12.039
<v Speaker 6>a long time.

557
00:28:12.440 --> 00:28:13.920
<v Speaker 3>Yes, and the brick always wins.

558
00:28:14.279 --> 00:28:16.920
<v Speaker 6>Yep. I found out about it too as I was

559
00:28:17.359 --> 00:28:20.079
<v Speaker 6>in the hospital for three days trying to challenge that wall.

560
00:28:20.200 --> 00:28:20.880
<v Speaker 6>I couldn't move it.

561
00:28:21.440 --> 00:28:23.599
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, maybe they sent you a thousand year old Hoffey

562
00:28:23.599 --> 00:28:24.640
<v Speaker 2>hot dogs in the hospital.

563
00:28:24.759 --> 00:28:26.519
<v Speaker 6>They have been and you feel like that fence has

564
00:28:26.519 --> 00:28:27.799
<v Speaker 6>been there for a thousand years too.

565
00:28:28.640 --> 00:28:29.960
<v Speaker 3>Thanks Rick, so great to hear you.

566
00:28:30.000 --> 00:28:30.759
<v Speaker 6>See you, David Man.

<v Speaker 2>from former Dodger as we go high and tight with

587
00:29:43.480 --> 00:29:47.079
<v Speaker 2>is now known as Dodger Killer, but that is former

588
00:29:47.160 --> 00:29:50.680
<v Speaker 2>Dodger Michael Bush and the friendly confines of Wrigley Field.

589
00:29:50.839 --> 00:29:52.680
<v Speaker 2>Thanks a lot for the time and great to see

590
00:29:52.680 --> 00:29:54.400
<v Speaker 2>that beard up close and personal.

591
00:29:54.440 --> 00:29:57.440
<v Speaker 12>Again, I appreciate that and uh garing it for a

592
00:29:57.480 --> 00:29:58.079
<v Speaker 12>little bit now.

593
00:29:58.119 --> 00:29:59.160
<v Speaker 6>So thanks for having me.

594
00:29:59.240 --> 00:30:01.519
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I thought it was the Justin Turner influence, but

595
00:30:01.559 --> 00:30:03.519
<v Speaker 2>he said, you're a hockey guy, so that's what you're

596
00:30:03.519 --> 00:30:04.240
<v Speaker 2>trying to go for.

597
00:30:04.400 --> 00:30:06.799
<v Speaker 6>We go a little bit of both, for sure.

598
00:30:07.000 --> 00:30:09.240
<v Speaker 3>What's it been like being teammates with him again?

599
00:30:09.359 --> 00:30:10.119
<v Speaker 6>It's been amazing.

600
00:30:10.480 --> 00:30:12.319
<v Speaker 12>Yeah, just just spending a little bit of time with

601
00:30:12.400 --> 00:30:16.319
<v Speaker 12>him in spring training in the clubhouse. Mainly it's been

602
00:30:16.599 --> 00:30:18.319
<v Speaker 12>you know, it's been a joy. He's obviously knows so

603
00:30:18.400 --> 00:30:20.039
<v Speaker 12>much about the game. He's a great player. He's been

604
00:30:20.039 --> 00:30:21.839
<v Speaker 12>around for a long time, knows how to win, knows

605
00:30:21.839 --> 00:30:23.960
<v Speaker 12>what it takes, all those things. But he's you know,

606
00:30:24.000 --> 00:30:26.240
<v Speaker 12>great in the clubhouse too, just all around great player,

607
00:30:26.319 --> 00:30:26.799
<v Speaker 12>great human.

608
00:30:27.799 --> 00:30:27.960
<v Speaker 6>Yeah.

609
00:30:28.000 --> 00:30:29.079
<v Speaker 12>I couldn't ask for anything more.

610
00:30:29.240 --> 00:30:31.440
<v Speaker 2>So at Dodger Stadium, I saw the same group of

611
00:30:31.519 --> 00:30:35.279
<v Speaker 2>hitters that included yourself with Justin Turner and Pete grow Armstrong.

612
00:30:35.640 --> 00:30:38.759
<v Speaker 2>Out here at Wrigley Field, same group of guys. What

613
00:30:38.960 --> 00:30:40.359
<v Speaker 2>is that group about.

614
00:30:41.160 --> 00:30:43.480
<v Speaker 3>Out here early? Yeah, it's it's good.

615
00:30:43.559 --> 00:30:45.799
<v Speaker 12>I think there's just you know, guys you know, know

616
00:30:45.839 --> 00:30:47.319
<v Speaker 12>what they need and know what they like to do,

617
00:30:47.400 --> 00:30:50.200
<v Speaker 12>and you know, Pete myself, and it seems like JT

618
00:30:50.440 --> 00:30:52.519
<v Speaker 12>just you know, like getting out on the field. There's

619
00:30:52.599 --> 00:30:54.240
<v Speaker 12>a lot of guys who just you know, are out

620
00:30:54.240 --> 00:30:55.359
<v Speaker 12>there whenever it's hard.

621
00:30:55.440 --> 00:30:56.119
<v Speaker 6>You're playing every.

622
00:30:56.079 --> 00:30:59.480
<v Speaker 12>Day, six seven games a week, just try and get

623
00:30:59.519 --> 00:31:01.839
<v Speaker 12>outside whenever you can see a little velocity. You know,

624
00:31:01.920 --> 00:31:04.880
<v Speaker 12>VP's usually armed, So I like to do a little

625
00:31:04.880 --> 00:31:06.599
<v Speaker 12>bit of velocity. And I think, you know, guys here

626
00:31:06.599 --> 00:31:08.079
<v Speaker 12>and there like to pick and choose what they want

627
00:31:08.079 --> 00:31:10.559
<v Speaker 12>to do. But it's fun coming out there and you know,

628
00:31:10.559 --> 00:31:12.240
<v Speaker 12>getting a little bit of work, having some fun and

629
00:31:12.720 --> 00:31:13.400
<v Speaker 12>enjoying the weather.

630
00:31:13.559 --> 00:31:15.880
<v Speaker 2>So it's not an organized thing with you three, it's

631
00:31:15.920 --> 00:31:17.839
<v Speaker 2>just that you all three like to hit early.

632
00:31:18.920 --> 00:31:20.480
<v Speaker 12>Yeah, I think it's I think we just kind of

633
00:31:20.559 --> 00:31:24.039
<v Speaker 12>established that group a little bit. But you know, we

634
00:31:24.119 --> 00:31:25.960
<v Speaker 12>might have to make it an organized thing for for

635
00:31:26.039 --> 00:31:26.480
<v Speaker 12>the season.

636
00:31:26.720 --> 00:31:29.119
<v Speaker 2>Hey, there's not too many times when two teams make

637
00:31:29.160 --> 00:31:31.119
<v Speaker 2>a trade that it's a win win for both. But

638
00:31:32.000 --> 00:31:34.079
<v Speaker 2>I know you loved your time with the Dodgers and

639
00:31:34.160 --> 00:31:36.799
<v Speaker 2>wanted to stay. But how grateful are you for this

640
00:31:36.920 --> 00:31:38.519
<v Speaker 2>opportunity to play every day?

641
00:31:38.720 --> 00:31:39.640
<v Speaker 6>Yeah? Super grateful.

642
00:31:39.680 --> 00:31:42.480
<v Speaker 12>I think you know, it's the it's the business part

643
00:31:42.519 --> 00:31:46.599
<v Speaker 12>of sports that just you know, it's a little different,

644
00:31:47.039 --> 00:31:49.359
<v Speaker 12>you know, coming over there and you know, being a

645
00:31:49.359 --> 00:31:51.519
<v Speaker 12>Dodger for a little bit and then getting traded mixed

646
00:31:51.559 --> 00:31:54.119
<v Speaker 12>of emotions. But at the same time, all I can

647
00:31:54.160 --> 00:31:56.279
<v Speaker 12>ask for is an opportunity and to kind of go

648
00:31:56.359 --> 00:31:58.680
<v Speaker 12>out there and you know, showcase my skills and showcase

649
00:31:58.720 --> 00:32:01.160
<v Speaker 12>my work and no matter where I'm at, no matter

650
00:32:01.160 --> 00:32:03.079
<v Speaker 12>who I'm playing for. But at the same time, I've been,

651
00:32:03.359 --> 00:32:05.559
<v Speaker 12>you know, super grateful for just the Cubs and what

652
00:32:05.599 --> 00:32:07.920
<v Speaker 12>they've done and what they've you know, given me and

653
00:32:08.079 --> 00:32:10.000
<v Speaker 12>you know, I honestly, you know, I love my time

654
00:32:10.000 --> 00:32:12.079
<v Speaker 12>with the Dodgers, but I'm happy to be a Cub.

655
00:32:12.279 --> 00:32:14.880
<v Speaker 2>What is what is the thing that's clicked for you

656
00:32:14.920 --> 00:32:16.160
<v Speaker 2>going back to last year?

657
00:32:17.119 --> 00:32:19.759
<v Speaker 12>I think, you know, it's just it's just learning, learning

658
00:32:19.759 --> 00:32:22.759
<v Speaker 12>a lot from you know, older players and what it takes,

659
00:32:22.839 --> 00:32:25.359
<v Speaker 12>you know, to stay consistent through one sixty two. I think,

660
00:32:25.839 --> 00:32:27.519
<v Speaker 12>you know, in the minor leagues, that was you know,

661
00:32:27.599 --> 00:32:29.119
<v Speaker 12>kind of one of the things that I wanted to do.

662
00:32:29.160 --> 00:32:31.599
<v Speaker 12>I knew I could do it, and just you know,

663
00:32:31.599 --> 00:32:33.359
<v Speaker 12>there's a lot of games, a lot of season and

664
00:32:33.519 --> 00:32:36.079
<v Speaker 12>just trying to be consistent was always something that I've

665
00:32:36.119 --> 00:32:38.519
<v Speaker 12>tried to do and tried to learn. And I think

666
00:32:38.599 --> 00:32:40.480
<v Speaker 12>last year it was the same thing. I know there's

667
00:32:40.519 --> 00:32:42.519
<v Speaker 12>gonna be ups and downs, but you know, just trying

668
00:32:42.519 --> 00:32:45.160
<v Speaker 12>to be consistent and you know, you know, try to

669
00:32:45.200 --> 00:32:48.319
<v Speaker 12>just you know, improve continuously each and every year, each

670
00:32:48.359 --> 00:32:51.039
<v Speaker 12>and every month. I think it's still a growing process,

671
00:32:51.039 --> 00:32:52.440
<v Speaker 12>but enjoy doing it.

672
00:32:52.599 --> 00:32:56.519
<v Speaker 2>When you talk about consistency, aren't you describing the preparation

673
00:32:56.680 --> 00:32:58.920
<v Speaker 2>as well? Being consistent with your preparation.

674
00:32:59.319 --> 00:33:02.480
<v Speaker 12>Absolutely, I think that's the key, is just how do

675
00:33:02.559 --> 00:33:04.440
<v Speaker 12>you no matter you know, you might you might face

676
00:33:04.480 --> 00:33:06.279
<v Speaker 12>a guy who's nasty, who's you know, dotting up the

677
00:33:06.279 --> 00:33:09.680
<v Speaker 12>corners and is a tough tough picture that day, But

678
00:33:09.720 --> 00:33:11.200
<v Speaker 12>how can you just kind of move on from that

679
00:33:11.319 --> 00:33:13.079
<v Speaker 12>and you know, know what it takes to just kind of,

680
00:33:13.599 --> 00:33:15.759
<v Speaker 12>you know, no matter how well you did or how

681
00:33:15.799 --> 00:33:17.599
<v Speaker 12>bad you did the day before, just kind of just

682
00:33:17.599 --> 00:33:19.119
<v Speaker 12>go out the next day and just try and you know,

683
00:33:19.200 --> 00:33:21.839
<v Speaker 12>keep the same thing, the same thing. It's hard to do,

684
00:33:21.920 --> 00:33:24.839
<v Speaker 12>but just definitely learning from the older guys like uh

685
00:33:24.960 --> 00:33:27.440
<v Speaker 12>JT and Belly last year and Nico and Happ and

686
00:33:27.519 --> 00:33:29.200
<v Speaker 12>Dansby and you know, I could go down the list

687
00:33:29.240 --> 00:33:31.839
<v Speaker 12>of some of the guys, but just learning about, you know,

688
00:33:31.920 --> 00:33:33.920
<v Speaker 12>the consistency of kind of what it takes to just

689
00:33:34.200 --> 00:33:36.839
<v Speaker 12>not only physically be prepared to today, but but mentally

690
00:33:36.880 --> 00:33:37.240
<v Speaker 12>as well.

691
00:33:37.440 --> 00:33:40.039
<v Speaker 2>Michael Bush is our guest, one of the great guys

692
00:33:40.119 --> 00:33:42.839
<v Speaker 2>out there. When you look at when your time at

693
00:33:42.880 --> 00:33:45.640
<v Speaker 2>Dodger Stadium with the Cubs on the last road trip

694
00:33:45.759 --> 00:33:48.799
<v Speaker 2>for Chicago, when you guys came to Dodger Stadium, you

695
00:33:48.839 --> 00:33:52.119
<v Speaker 2>had a great series, but Andy Pae has robbed you

696
00:33:52.599 --> 00:33:55.359
<v Speaker 2>of extra bases, maybe a grand Slam. Did you play

697
00:33:55.359 --> 00:33:57.160
<v Speaker 2>with pa has in the minor leagues? How well do

698
00:33:57.200 --> 00:33:58.039
<v Speaker 2>you guys know each other?

699
00:33:58.119 --> 00:34:00.920
<v Speaker 12>Yeah, I played with them quite a bit. Yeah it

700
00:34:00.960 --> 00:34:04.200
<v Speaker 12>was it was you know, one of that one, right,

701
00:34:04.319 --> 00:34:05.960
<v Speaker 12>one of that one would have put four runs on

702
00:34:06.240 --> 00:34:09.719
<v Speaker 12>the board in a close game. But he's a great player.

703
00:34:09.760 --> 00:34:12.280
<v Speaker 12>He's a great player, and he's young, and you know,

704
00:34:12.639 --> 00:34:14.840
<v Speaker 12>it was I don't want to say it was cool

705
00:34:14.880 --> 00:34:17.000
<v Speaker 12>that he took away a home run for me at all,

706
00:34:17.039 --> 00:34:19.639
<v Speaker 12>because I really wanted that one. But at the same time,

707
00:34:19.679 --> 00:34:22.039
<v Speaker 12>you know, just looking back, you know, got the win.

708
00:34:22.239 --> 00:34:24.119
<v Speaker 12>That was what matters, That's what you know. I was

709
00:34:24.199 --> 00:34:26.000
<v Speaker 12>kind of a little upset that those were four runs

710
00:34:26.000 --> 00:34:27.719
<v Speaker 12>that could have mattered, but we ended up winning, and

711
00:34:28.039 --> 00:34:30.760
<v Speaker 12>you know, looking back, you know, the fact that he

712
00:34:30.800 --> 00:34:32.559
<v Speaker 12>took it away, I was like, dang, But he's a

713
00:34:32.599 --> 00:34:35.519
<v Speaker 12>great player and something I'll probably remember for a long time.

714
00:34:35.760 --> 00:34:37.920
<v Speaker 2>So the Dodgers and Cups have played each other a

715
00:34:37.960 --> 00:34:40.400
<v Speaker 2>lot in the first month of the season. These two

716
00:34:40.400 --> 00:34:43.880
<v Speaker 2>games are it after Tokyo and la I haven't talked

717
00:34:43.920 --> 00:34:46.159
<v Speaker 2>to you about your experience in Tokyo. Did you like

718
00:34:46.199 --> 00:34:48.440
<v Speaker 2>it or do you feel like now you're starting to

719
00:34:48.480 --> 00:34:49.480
<v Speaker 2>get into the season.

720
00:34:49.800 --> 00:34:51.280
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, absolutely, Tokyo was awesome.

721
00:34:52.079 --> 00:34:54.760
<v Speaker 12>Loved loved the experience, loved the games, loved everything that

722
00:34:54.800 --> 00:34:55.559
<v Speaker 12>they did for us.

723
00:34:56.920 --> 00:34:57.639
<v Speaker 6>You know, it was cool.

724
00:34:57.679 --> 00:35:00.280
<v Speaker 12>And then to you know, Showcase what show Hey and

725
00:35:00.440 --> 00:35:04.119
<v Speaker 12>Saya and Shoda and Susaki kind of just where they

726
00:35:04.519 --> 00:35:06.400
<v Speaker 12>came from, where they played, and then the culture that

727
00:35:06.480 --> 00:35:09.199
<v Speaker 12>they have out there. It was it was really cool

728
00:35:09.280 --> 00:35:11.400
<v Speaker 12>to experience that, and I can only imagine how cool

729
00:35:11.440 --> 00:35:12.719
<v Speaker 12>it was for them.

730
00:35:13.119 --> 00:35:13.280
<v Speaker 6>You know.

731
00:35:13.320 --> 00:35:16.719
<v Speaker 12>It's it's experiences like that that you know, you show

732
00:35:16.800 --> 00:35:18.239
<v Speaker 12>up to the field trying to win, and you show

733
00:35:18.320 --> 00:35:20.000
<v Speaker 12>up to the field trying to do your job, but

734
00:35:20.320 --> 00:35:21.960
<v Speaker 12>at the same time you can kind of reflect on

735
00:35:22.000 --> 00:35:23.800
<v Speaker 12>some of those experiences, especially for them.

736
00:35:23.840 --> 00:35:24.159
<v Speaker 6>I can.

737
00:35:24.320 --> 00:35:27.320
<v Speaker 12>I can only imagine that it was, you know, a

738
00:35:27.360 --> 00:35:28.199
<v Speaker 12>lifelong memory.

739
00:35:28.280 --> 00:35:28.599
<v Speaker 6>All right.

740
00:35:28.639 --> 00:35:31.440
<v Speaker 2>Before I let Michael Bush go, he has the hockey beard.

741
00:35:31.599 --> 00:35:35.519
<v Speaker 2>So I would be remiss as the Stanley Cup playoffs

742
00:35:35.559 --> 00:35:38.559
<v Speaker 2>have started not to ask you who your pick to

743
00:35:38.599 --> 00:35:40.639
<v Speaker 2>win the Stanley Cup Finals?

744
00:35:40.719 --> 00:35:42.280
<v Speaker 3>Are the Stanley Cup this year?

745
00:35:44.599 --> 00:35:47.960
<v Speaker 12>I'm a Minnesota Wild fan, yes, so I hope, I

746
00:35:48.000 --> 00:35:50.960
<v Speaker 12>hope they can pull it off, and I think they will.

747
00:35:51.960 --> 00:35:52.320
<v Speaker 6>I do.

748
00:35:52.480 --> 00:35:55.280
<v Speaker 12>I think they got a good group. Caprice off his back.

749
00:35:55.320 --> 00:35:58.840
<v Speaker 12>But I think, you know, just playoff. Playoff hockey has

750
00:35:58.840 --> 00:36:02.280
<v Speaker 12>always been one of my favorite you know, If not

751
00:36:02.320 --> 00:36:05.360
<v Speaker 12>the Wild I hope the Chicago Blackhawks. Can you do

752
00:36:05.400 --> 00:36:06.159
<v Speaker 12>it sometime soon?

753
00:36:06.559 --> 00:36:09.719
<v Speaker 2>Okay, there we go, playing it very safe here at

754
00:36:09.719 --> 00:36:12.400
<v Speaker 2>Wrigley Field. Given the Blackhawks a token.

<v Speaker 3>There he is my guy, Michael Bush.

764

<v Speaker 2>When it's game day, it's group day at Shakey's dot Com.

768
00:36:35.719 --> 00:36:36.679
<v Speaker 3>We got more.

769
00:36:36.599 --> 00:36:40.599
<v Speaker 2>Marongo Casino Dodgers on Deck. When we continue from Wrigley Field,

770
00:36:40.880 --> 00:36:43.920
<v Speaker 2>you're listening to the world champion Dodgers Audio Network.

771
00:36:47.119 --> 00:36:53.199
<v Speaker 1>This is Marongo Casino Dodgers on Deck on your home

772
00:36:53.280 --> 00:36:55.199
<v Speaker 1>for the Blue All season lot.

773
00:36:57.559 --> 00:36:59.800
<v Speaker 3>We're getting closer to first pitch at four.

774
00:37:00.559 --> 00:37:04.039
<v Speaker 2>David Vanse live at Wrigley Field and tonight's pitching Matcher

775
00:37:04.119 --> 00:37:07.639
<v Speaker 2>presented by your Son of California Toyota Dealers. Work hard

776
00:37:07.679 --> 00:37:09.840
<v Speaker 2>and play hard in a new Tacoma with an I

777
00:37:09.960 --> 00:37:13.119
<v Speaker 2>Force turbo charge engine. It's a truck built for the bold.

778
00:37:13.199 --> 00:37:16.760
<v Speaker 2>See your Toyota dealer today. We make it easy for

779
00:37:16.840 --> 00:37:20.360
<v Speaker 2>the Cubs. They got left hander Shota Emanaga on the mound.

780
00:37:20.599 --> 00:37:23.519
<v Speaker 2>It's his sixth start of the season, the second time

781
00:37:23.960 --> 00:37:26.920
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers have seen him. Remember he went up against

782
00:37:27.000 --> 00:37:30.760
<v Speaker 2>Yamamoto and the season opener in Tokyo when he pitched

783
00:37:30.840 --> 00:37:33.760
<v Speaker 2>four shutout innings. He is going to throw a heavy

784
00:37:33.800 --> 00:37:36.840
<v Speaker 2>dose of fastballs to the Dodgers and a lot of

785
00:37:36.840 --> 00:37:39.840
<v Speaker 2>his split fingered fastballs to the Dodgers. The Dodgers are

786
00:37:39.920 --> 00:37:44.159
<v Speaker 2>just two for twelve against Emonaga's split fingered fastball. For

787
00:37:44.280 --> 00:37:47.079
<v Speaker 2>Dustin May, it's his fourth start of the year. Where

788
00:37:47.119 --> 00:37:49.519
<v Speaker 2>would the Dodgers be without him. He's one and one

789
00:37:49.559 --> 00:37:52.760
<v Speaker 2>with an ERA one zero six. His last time out

790
00:37:52.800 --> 00:37:55.079
<v Speaker 2>was against the Rockies when he pitched six innings and

791
00:37:55.119 --> 00:38:00.239
<v Speaker 2>he got fourteen swings and misses. So Dustin May has

792
00:38:00.280 --> 00:38:05.239
<v Speaker 2>really been a much needed addition to this rotation with Yamamoto,

793
00:38:05.679 --> 00:38:08.320
<v Speaker 2>and he's doing it against lefties and Righty's left. He's

794
00:38:08.400 --> 00:38:11.079
<v Speaker 2>only hitting a buck away right, He's only hitting a

795
00:38:11.119 --> 00:38:13.880
<v Speaker 2>buck thirty six. And when he has two strikes on

796
00:38:13.920 --> 00:38:16.840
<v Speaker 2>a hitter, it's lights out. Hitters are just one for

797
00:38:16.960 --> 00:38:20.280
<v Speaker 2>thirty two when May has two strikes on him. Dodgers

798
00:38:20.280 --> 00:38:23.599
<v Speaker 2>and Cups, we're just fifteen minutes away from first pitch.

799
00:38:23.960 --> 00:38:26.960
<v Speaker 2>Keys to the game with Rick Monday and Steven Nelson

800
00:38:27.039 --> 00:38:30.480
<v Speaker 2>are coming up next. I'm David Vassey. This is the

801
00:38:30.480 --> 00:38:35.480
<v Speaker 2>world champion Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.

802
00:38:36.960 --> 00:38:41.639
<v Speaker 1>As we were saying, yes, is Marongo Casino Dodgers on

803
00:38:41.880 --> 00:38:47.400
<v Speaker 1>deck on the official home of La Dodgers Baseball.

804
00:38:48.079 --> 00:38:50.639
<v Speaker 2>We're getting closer to first pitch. A beautiful night here

805
00:38:50.719 --> 00:38:54.159
<v Speaker 2>at Wrigley Field. Before first pitch, let's check in with

806
00:38:54.280 --> 00:38:56.920
<v Speaker 2>Rick Monday and Steven Nelson one last time.

807
00:38:57.159 --> 00:38:59.760
<v Speaker 5>Thank you VASSA all right, final segment for us, Rick

808
00:39:00.079 --> 00:39:04.760
<v Speaker 5>Day Before first pitch, Imanaga will throw that to Shohey Otani.

809
00:39:05.280 --> 00:39:08.360
<v Speaker 5>Otani is zero for seven against his fellow countrymen and

810
00:39:08.360 --> 00:39:12.239
<v Speaker 5>fellow World Baseball Classic teammate in Imanaga in his career.

811
00:39:12.280 --> 00:39:15.920
<v Speaker 5>But let's start with Dustin May, because he has been

812
00:39:16.039 --> 00:39:18.559
<v Speaker 5>a terrific he of course, he won the fifth starter's

813
00:39:18.639 --> 00:39:20.840
<v Speaker 5>job out of spring and kind of by default because

814
00:39:20.880 --> 00:39:25.039
<v Speaker 5>of Tony Gonsolin's injury. But putting that aside, he has

815
00:39:25.119 --> 00:39:28.480
<v Speaker 5>pitched like the number two behind Yoshioba Goama Moto up

816
00:39:28.519 --> 00:39:28.920
<v Speaker 5>to this point.

817
00:39:28.960 --> 00:39:31.079
<v Speaker 6>And he's been a wonderful story too, knowing what he

818
00:39:31.159 --> 00:39:33.039
<v Speaker 6>went through last year with the Tommy John and then

819
00:39:33.079 --> 00:39:36.599
<v Speaker 6>the emergency surgery on the esophagus that have been torn.

820
00:39:36.920 --> 00:39:38.840
<v Speaker 6>But if we look at Dustin May, you know he's

821
00:39:38.840 --> 00:39:41.519
<v Speaker 6>gone back to back starts now, six innings in each

822
00:39:41.559 --> 00:39:44.519
<v Speaker 6>of those, and he's done just a reasonable job. The

823
00:39:44.559 --> 00:39:47.039
<v Speaker 6>other part two is in those back to back starts

824
00:39:47.159 --> 00:39:50.119
<v Speaker 6>he's not walked a battern, so he gets a high

825
00:39:50.159 --> 00:39:52.800
<v Speaker 6>chase rate. Here's something to talk about is that the

826
00:39:53.039 --> 00:39:55.960
<v Speaker 6>pitching coach, Mark Pryor was talking about he has lightning

827
00:39:56.519 --> 00:39:59.159
<v Speaker 6>in his arm and he delivers the ball and let's

828
00:39:59.159 --> 00:40:01.199
<v Speaker 6>look for the slider. The reason I mentioned the slider.

829
00:40:01.199 --> 00:40:04.400
<v Speaker 6>Looking some numbers earlier today, posting hitters are zero for

830
00:40:04.480 --> 00:40:07.159
<v Speaker 6>twenty one when he throws the slider. That's a devastating bitch,

831
00:40:07.239 --> 00:40:10.599
<v Speaker 6>especially that upper ninety mile one hour fastball with movement.

832
00:40:10.679 --> 00:40:14.519
<v Speaker 5>He has eight strikeouts on that revamped slider. He changed

833
00:40:14.519 --> 00:40:16.320
<v Speaker 5>the grip at the beginning of the year, and it

834
00:40:16.360 --> 00:40:19.599
<v Speaker 5>has been a tremendous pitch. Still no ivy. I don't

835
00:40:19.599 --> 00:40:22.079
<v Speaker 5>think the Dodgers have seen the ivy at Rigby Field.

836
00:40:21.880 --> 00:40:23.400
<v Speaker 6>In close to a decade.

837
00:40:23.440 --> 00:40:25.400
<v Speaker 5>But we are going to see some good baseball the

838
00:40:25.400 --> 00:40:27.400
<v Speaker 5>final two games between the Dodgers and Cubs here in

839
00:40:27.400 --> 00:40:29.719
<v Speaker 5>twenty twenty five. We're looking forward to game one of

840
00:40:29.760 --> 00:40:32.079
<v Speaker 5>this little two game set starting shortly DV back to.

841
00:40:32.039 --> 00:40:34.760
<v Speaker 2>You, all right, guys, Thank you, lineups and first pitch

842
00:40:34.840 --> 00:40:37.039
<v Speaker 2>coming up right around the corner. I enjoy the game.

843
00:40:37.079 --> 00:40:40.320
<v Speaker 2>I'll be back with you for postgame Dodger talk. I'm

844
