And here from Tim Neverett and Rick Monday. Well, 37 00:01:41.560 --> 00:01:45.079 last night in New York, it was Sunday Night baseball, 38 00:01:45.159 --> 00:01:48.040 the rubber game between the Dodgers and Mets. He got 39 00:01:48.040 --> 00:01:50.640 off to a good start for the Dodgers. The second 40 00:01:50.680 --> 00:01:53.079 pitch of the game. Show Hey win. 41 00:01:53.000 --> 00:01:57.000 Deep singa at the letters, kicks and deals, and Otani 42 00:01:57.319 --> 00:01:58.719 with a smash. 43 00:01:58.519 --> 00:02:02.799 Soaring into the Sunday Night Hey leadoff home run. First 44 00:02:02.840 --> 00:02:07.200 Show Hey old Tony to the upper deck. He goes 45 00:02:07.319 --> 00:02:10.639 torching a fest ball and giving the Dodgers oh one 46 00:02:10.719 --> 00:02:11.680 nothing lead. 47 00:02:11.759 --> 00:02:15.319 Number eighteen on the season for show, Hey Otani. Just 48 00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:19.159 like that, the Dodgers had a one nothing lead over 49 00:02:19.240 --> 00:02:22.240 the Mets. In the bottom of the first, a couple 50 00:02:22.240 --> 00:02:25.840 of strikeouts for Landon Nack, two outs, A ground ball 51 00:02:25.919 --> 00:02:30.080 from Juan Soto near shortstop Max Munsey could not field 52 00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:34.319 it cleanly, one hopted to Freddie Freeman. Soto beats out 53 00:02:34.360 --> 00:02:37.240 the throw, so he with two outs. A runner aboard 54 00:02:37.280 --> 00:02:40.000 on the air and the next batter, Pete. 55 00:02:39.759 --> 00:02:43.199 Alonzo, two outs, Soto on after the E five. Now 56 00:02:43.240 --> 00:02:47.120 Pete Alonzo first pitch belt to the left field, way 57 00:02:47.199 --> 00:02:51.479 back and gone. And so just like that, the air 58 00:02:52.159 --> 00:02:56.159 is so costly, Hey go ahead, two run home run 59 00:02:56.240 --> 00:02:59.360 for Pete Alonzo, and it's two to one New York. 60 00:03:02.520 --> 00:03:03.319 A laser to. 61 00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:08.039 Left field for the Mets. Slugging first baseman snaps the 62 00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:12.120 longest home run draft of his seven year career, sixteen 63 00:03:12.199 --> 00:03:16.000 games without one until that two to one Mets. 64 00:03:16.439 --> 00:03:18.400 An air opened the door for the Mets. 65 00:03:18.400 --> 00:03:21.759 Pete Alonso a two run home run as a Mets 66 00:03:21.759 --> 00:03:24.120 grabbed a two to one lead. Dodgers just didn't play 67 00:03:24.159 --> 00:03:28.120 clean baseball last night. Four airs, including an air in 68 00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:31.039 the bottom half of the third from Mookie Betts trying 69 00:03:31.039 --> 00:03:32.800 to flip the ball over the head of Tommy Emmit 70 00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:34.120 at second for a forest play. 71 00:03:34.280 --> 00:03:36.840 Francisco Lindoro went to third on the overthrow. 72 00:03:37.199 --> 00:03:40.800 Juan Soto, then a ground ball fielder's choice scored Lindor 73 00:03:41.159 --> 00:03:43.159 and that gave the Mets a three to one lead. 74 00:03:43.319 --> 00:03:46.120 Landon Neck just didn't get a lot of help. He 75 00:03:46.199 --> 00:03:48.719 pitched well. In fact, after giving up the three runs, 76 00:03:48.719 --> 00:03:51.000 retired in eleven in a row, he would go a 77 00:03:51.240 --> 00:03:54.599 season high six innings for the Dodgers last night. He 78 00:03:54.639 --> 00:03:57.159 allowed the three runs, only one of which was earned. 79 00:03:57.520 --> 00:04:02.120 Four hits, five strikeouts, zero one, no offense. So outside 80 00:04:02.120 --> 00:04:04.120 of the show, hey Otani home run of the first, 81 00:04:04.319 --> 00:04:06.879 Dodgers had opportunities in the fourth, in the fifty at 82 00:04:06.879 --> 00:04:09.000 the bases loaded with two outs and couldn't score. In 83 00:04:09.080 --> 00:04:11.919 the sixth, inn Max Montia went out walk Andy pot 84 00:04:11.919 --> 00:04:14.159 Has grounded into a double play. That was a theme 85 00:04:14.240 --> 00:04:17.439 all series long, as the Dodgers hit into eight double 86 00:04:17.480 --> 00:04:20.480 plays in the three games at City Field. They lose 87 00:04:20.560 --> 00:04:23.319 the finale last night three to one Code II single 88 00:04:23.360 --> 00:04:26.439 the win. Landon Knack gets the loss as the Dodgers 89 00:04:26.519 --> 00:04:29.480 dropped two of three at City Field. They're thirty two 90 00:04:29.560 --> 00:04:32.160 to twenty one on the year, and now they head 91 00:04:32.199 --> 00:04:36.160 to Cleveland on this Memorial Day. Yoshinobu Yamamoto on the 92 00:04:36.160 --> 00:04:38.360 mount of the series opener from Progressive Field. Then with 93 00:04:38.399 --> 00:04:40.800 more we head out to the Galloping Motors broadcast booth 94 00:04:40.800 --> 00:04:42.920 as we welcome in Tim Neverett and Rick Monday. 95 00:04:42.959 --> 00:04:43.360 Guys. 96 00:04:43.519 --> 00:04:46.399 Thanks very much, Tim, A nice cool evening here in Cleveland, 97 00:04:46.519 --> 00:04:49.560 Ohio at Progressive Field as the Dodgers begin this three 98 00:04:49.600 --> 00:04:54.800 game set with the Cleveland Guardians on this Memorial Day, 99 00:04:54.879 --> 00:04:58.279 Monday packed house is expected here tonight to see the 100 00:04:58.319 --> 00:05:02.519 Dodgers and the Guardians. Yoshinobu Yamamoto will have the start, 101 00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:06.839 looking for his sixth win. He is grad ERA second 102 00:05:06.839 --> 00:05:09.040 of the National League at one point eighty six. Gavin 103 00:05:09.079 --> 00:05:11.800 Williams will be the mild opponent. He's four and two 104 00:05:12.120 --> 00:05:15.680 with an urn run average of three point nine to four. Well, 105 00:05:15.759 --> 00:05:18.160 the Dodgers coming off a rough weekend in New York. 106 00:05:18.199 --> 00:05:19.920 Even though they won on Friday, it took him a 107 00:05:19.959 --> 00:05:22.279 long time to get that one, and then losses on 108 00:05:22.360 --> 00:05:23.639 Saturday and again last night. 109 00:05:23.759 --> 00:05:25.399 Yeah, and I think of the manner in which they 110 00:05:25.639 --> 00:05:28.720 lost ball games and after the game last night before 111 00:05:28.759 --> 00:05:32.160 the Dodgers boarded their charters and headed to Cleveland, Dave 112 00:05:32.240 --> 00:05:35.160 Roberts is saying, look, we've just got to play clean 113 00:05:35.240 --> 00:05:39.279 baseball and have some good offensive approaches, and that has 114 00:05:39.360 --> 00:05:42.160 not really been the case from top to bottom. In fact, 115 00:05:42.279 --> 00:05:45.000 if you look at last night, four errors were committed 116 00:05:45.319 --> 00:05:47.959 in that three game series. The Dodgers hit into eight 117 00:05:48.279 --> 00:05:51.680 ground bowl double plays. That really ended some big threads. 118 00:05:51.720 --> 00:05:53.439 So yeah, they got to tighten the belts from a 119 00:05:53.480 --> 00:05:56.959 defensive standpoint, and now we're beginning to see a little 120 00:05:57.000 --> 00:05:59.519 bit more length out of the starting pitching. And that's 121 00:05:59.519 --> 00:06:01.519 really been the case with Yama Mota recently. 122 00:06:01.600 --> 00:06:04.759 When you look at the numbers, on average, the Dodgers 123 00:06:04.800 --> 00:06:08.720 average the fewest number of pitches from their starters in 124 00:06:08.800 --> 00:06:12.839 all of Major League Baseball at seventy seven pitches. Everybody 125 00:06:12.839 --> 00:06:15.000 else is higher. In fact, Cleveland's in the top five 126 00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:18.720 eighty nine pitches. But when you look at that, you 127 00:06:18.800 --> 00:06:20.639 hope that you're started to see more and more length. 128 00:06:20.720 --> 00:06:22.480 We did see that out of yama Mota when his 129 00:06:22.560 --> 00:06:25.959 last start. Hope to see that out of dustin May 130 00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:28.639 tomorrow and landon thatc In spite of the loss last night. 131 00:06:28.680 --> 00:06:30.160 He had a pretty good game, Yeah, you did. 132 00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:34.920 And coming into that series in New York, as you're saying, 133 00:06:34.920 --> 00:06:37.720 you know, the bullpen's been overworked. There's no offens and 134 00:06:37.720 --> 00:06:39.920 butts about it. We can kind of sugarcoat it, but 135 00:06:39.959 --> 00:06:43.000 it's not going to work. But the Dodgers, they're starting pitching, 136 00:06:43.040 --> 00:06:46.120 the only team in baseball that's averaged less than fourteen 137 00:06:46.199 --> 00:06:49.639 outs per starts, and that has really been the burden 138 00:06:49.920 --> 00:06:51.839 of this bullpen. So you combine that with the fact 139 00:06:51.879 --> 00:06:54.720 that they get to tighten the belts defensively. Too many 140 00:06:54.720 --> 00:06:57.240 opportunities for other ball clubs, whether to be stealing a base, 141 00:06:57.279 --> 00:06:59.199 whether it be taking an extra base or play just 142 00:06:59.240 --> 00:06:59.879 not being made. 143 00:07:00.319 --> 00:07:03.240 Tommy Edmond out of the lineup tonight. Dave Roberts still, 144 00:07:04.040 --> 00:07:06.399 you know, nursing him a little bit coming off the 145 00:07:06.399 --> 00:07:08.639 injured list, did not want him playing six straight games. 146 00:07:08.680 --> 00:07:11.720 So Hassan Kim gets the start at second base, Michael 147 00:07:11.759 --> 00:07:14.920 Confordo hitting eight and Dave Roberts saying, Michael will play 148 00:07:14.959 --> 00:07:16.240 in all three games here in Cleveland. 149 00:07:16.319 --> 00:07:18.360 Yeah, and trying to get it going. He's had some 150 00:07:18.399 --> 00:07:21.000 better swings and I think better approaches. He's not swinging 151 00:07:21.040 --> 00:07:23.120 at pitches really out of the strike zone. So it's 152 00:07:23.120 --> 00:07:26.439 not really terrible at bats, it's just been terrible results 153 00:07:26.480 --> 00:07:28.800 to this particular point. He's hitting at one sixty three 154 00:07:29.040 --> 00:07:32.160 in the eight spot in tonight's lineup, so trying to 155 00:07:32.160 --> 00:07:33.959 get it going, and if you're sitting on the bench 156 00:07:33.959 --> 00:07:35.600 and not playing, there's no way to get it going. 157 00:07:36.079 --> 00:07:40.120 Well, news out of Orange County regarding a former Dodger, 158 00:07:40.240 --> 00:07:43.600 Chris Taylor, apparently has signed with the Angels and is 159 00:07:43.639 --> 00:07:45.839 in the lineup to play center field against the Yankees 160 00:07:45.839 --> 00:07:46.560 tonight at Anaheim. 161 00:07:46.600 --> 00:07:49.240 Well, that's good news because Taylor meant a lot to 162 00:07:49.319 --> 00:07:52.199 this Dodgers organization, obviously with a winning on the teams. 163 00:07:52.759 --> 00:07:54.959 Is a good guy and we wish him nothing the best. 164 00:07:55.040 --> 00:07:57.000 It just did not work out if we're looking the 165 00:07:57.079 --> 00:07:59.399 last couple of years from an offensive standpoint, and Chris 166 00:07:59.439 --> 00:08:01.079 Taylor and aod Dodger uniform. 167 00:08:01.279 --> 00:08:04.800 On this Memorial Day Monday evening here in Cleveland, Yoshinobu 168 00:08:04.879 --> 00:08:08.399 Yamamoto takes on Gavilan Williams Dodgers and Guardians Game one. 169 00:08:08.439 --> 00:08:10.160 Tim, All right, thanks a lot, Tim, as we cut 170 00:08:10.199 --> 00:08:13.079 you down to first pitch, Dodger fans, get your game 171 00:08:13.160 --> 00:08:16.319 day meal on It's Shaky's Pizza Parlor, or to your 172 00:08:16.360 --> 00:08:21.279 Shaky's Pizza chickin to Moojo's right now at Shaky's dot Com. 173 00:08:21.279 --> 00:08:23.560 Coming up here on Marongo Casino Dodgers on deck, you're 174 00:08:23.560 --> 00:08:25.839 gonna hear from the manager Dave Roberts.

Unfortunately, 197 00:09:39.320 --> 00:09:41.799 nobody followed them as the Dodgers lost to the Mets 198 00:09:41.879 --> 00:09:43.759 yesterday at City Field three to one. 199 00:09:44.279 --> 00:09:48.120 This is Kirston's Corner with Kirston Watson. 200 00:09:48.639 --> 00:09:50.759 Hey Kirson now joins us from Cleveland.

You a 206 00:10:03.519 --> 00:10:05.720 little momentum going and the perfect guy to have it 207 00:10:05.720 --> 00:10:08.240 on the mound, Yoshinobu Yamamoto. 208 00:10:09.080 --> 00:10:09.279 Yeah. 209 00:10:09.320 --> 00:10:11.000 Look, he's been the ace of this ball club. He's 210 00:10:11.000 --> 00:10:13.279 been the stopper before and yeah, it's okay, only coming 211 00:10:13.320 --> 00:10:15.720 off of two losses, but still they want him to 212 00:10:15.759 --> 00:10:17.559 be able to set the tone early. 213 00:10:17.600 --> 00:10:18.159 And you said it. 214 00:10:18.200 --> 00:10:21.320 He's coming off of his best start of the year 215 00:10:21.399 --> 00:10:25.440 thus far, six no hit innings, seven shutout innings. He 216 00:10:25.559 --> 00:10:28.240 was excellent. Even when he talked after that game, the 217 00:10:28.240 --> 00:10:30.480 stuff wasn't a really good spot. He did say, of course, 218 00:10:30.519 --> 00:10:33.639 it's hard to one just throw a complete game in general, 219 00:10:33.879 --> 00:10:36.960 to throw a complete no hitter, that's a whole nother ballgame. 220 00:10:37.120 --> 00:10:38.919 The pitch count did get up, he threw a career 221 00:10:39.000 --> 00:10:41.639 high one hundred and ten pitches, so obviously those were 222 00:10:41.639 --> 00:10:44.080 some key factors for him. But the hope for today 223 00:10:44.159 --> 00:10:46.200 is just to go out there set the tone in 224 00:10:46.240 --> 00:10:48.159 this one. I mean, we did see some really strong 225 00:10:48.200 --> 00:10:51.360 pitching performance to Milandon Nak yesterday, but for him to 226 00:10:51.440 --> 00:10:54.799 get things going early in this one, that will be huge. Now, 227 00:10:55.080 --> 00:10:57.320 it will be interesting because obviously there's not too much 228 00:10:57.320 --> 00:11:01.240 familiarity between him and the Guardians. They are a really 229 00:11:01.279 --> 00:11:04.360 good splitter hitting team, though interesting enough, so that's obviously 230 00:11:04.399 --> 00:11:06.399 his bread and butter. So we'll see how this matchup 231 00:11:06.480 --> 00:11:08.440 faces out. But I don't know if I was on 232 00:11:08.440 --> 00:11:10.399 the Guardians. You have to go from facing Turk spooball 233 00:11:10.480 --> 00:11:13.879 one day to then Yoshinobi Amamoto does not sound fun if. 234 00:11:13.840 --> 00:11:14.279 You ask me. 235 00:11:14.960 --> 00:11:16.559 A good thing for the Dodgers. They have him on 236 00:11:16.600 --> 00:11:17.159 the Mountain tonight. 237 00:11:17.200 --> 00:11:20.080 Speaking on the mount yesterday show, Hey Otani was on 238 00:11:20.120 --> 00:11:22.600 the mound before the game at City Field. He threw 239 00:11:22.639 --> 00:11:25.759 twenty two pitches and a live batting practice to some 240 00:11:25.840 --> 00:11:27.000 players and coaches. 241 00:11:27.200 --> 00:11:29.080 How does he check out twenty four hours later? 242 00:11:29.120 --> 00:11:32.399 Hereson He's feeling good. He is feeling good of course yesterday. 243 00:11:32.440 --> 00:11:34.559 Of course the live VP he mentioned in the leadoff 244 00:11:34.600 --> 00:11:37.679 home run. The hope is just to keep the offensive 245 00:11:37.679 --> 00:11:39.519 side of that going today. But for him on the 246 00:11:39.559 --> 00:11:41.840 pitching side, he did feel really good coming out of it. 247 00:11:41.919 --> 00:11:45.240 So Dave Roberts said, as well as show Hey moving forward, 248 00:11:45.279 --> 00:11:48.960 he's going to be taking part of live vps once 249 00:11:49.000 --> 00:11:52.240 a week. So we saw it yesterday, we'll see it 250 00:11:52.279 --> 00:11:55.080 again this weekend. He will still have his touch and 251 00:11:55.120 --> 00:12:00.200 feel in between. So his usual schedule has been Wednesday 252 00:12:00.279 --> 00:12:03.879 and then Saturday, so the two bullpens. The original schedule 253 00:12:03.919 --> 00:12:06.039 for the live VP was supposed to be on Saturday. 254 00:12:06.080 --> 00:12:07.799 It was of course, I've pushed to Sunday due to 255 00:12:07.919 --> 00:12:11.240 the super late night in New York on Friday, So 256 00:12:11.320 --> 00:12:14.200 we'll see how the exact scheduling will play out moving forward. 257 00:12:14.240 --> 00:12:16.559 Dave said that the touch and field bullpen could be 258 00:12:17.080 --> 00:12:19.120 on Wednesday, but it is going to be a day 259 00:12:19.159 --> 00:12:21.919 game here, so it could be Wednesday, it could be Thursday, 260 00:12:21.919 --> 00:12:24.320 on the off day back in Los Angeles, So we'll see. 261 00:12:24.320 --> 00:12:26.639 But the fact that even show Hey last night was 262 00:12:26.679 --> 00:12:29.120 saying that, you know, he was kind of looking to 263 00:12:29.159 --> 00:12:32.320 be more in that ninety three ninety four velocity range. 264 00:12:32.360 --> 00:12:34.679 He was able to get up to ninety six ninety seven, 265 00:12:35.080 --> 00:12:38.000 so that was huge for him. He feels that the intensity. 266 00:12:38.000 --> 00:12:41.039 As long as the intensity and the pitch count continues 267 00:12:41.159 --> 00:12:44.639 to grow and just kind of increase moving forward, he'll 268 00:12:44.639 --> 00:12:46.440 be in a really good spot where he's not going 269 00:12:46.480 --> 00:12:48.200 to need to rehab assignment, so he'll be able to 270 00:12:48.240 --> 00:12:52.919 continue being you know, that DH out there hopefully every day. 271 00:12:53.080 --> 00:12:54.919 We'll kind of see moving forward how that continues to 272 00:12:54.960 --> 00:12:57.399 play out. But he feels really good, so Hey, that's 273 00:12:57.399 --> 00:12:58.960 all you can ask for is the of course, the 274 00:12:59.000 --> 00:12:59.919 twenty four hour check in. 275 00:13:00.000 --> 00:13:03.559 It's huge, absolutely step in the right direction for show. 276 00:13:03.600 --> 00:13:04.240 Hey, appreciate it. 277 00:13:04.279 --> 00:13:06.120 Keirston, We'll check in with you after the game is 278 00:13:06.120 --> 00:13:08.600 still to come. Here, I'm Marongo Casino Dodgers on deck. 279 00:13:08.759 --> 00:13:12.039 We'll dive deeper into this series opening pitching matchup. David 280 00:13:12.080 --> 00:13:15.840 Vass goes one on one with Max Muncy. But up next, 281 00:13:15.840 --> 00:13:17.960 we'll get you an injury report and we hear from 282 00:13:17.960 --> 00:13:21.840 the manager himself, Dave Roberts. It's the Dodgers and Guardians 283 00:13:21.879 --> 00:13:24.240 on this Memorial Day. First pitch from Cleveland's coming up 284 00:13:24.240 --> 00:13:26.279 at three ten. I'm Tim Kates. Is the world champion 285 00:13:26.320 --> 00:13:28.039 Los Angeles Dodgers audio know. 286 00:13:30.519 --> 00:13:36.600 This is Marongo Casino Dodgers on deck on your home 287 00:13:36.679 --> 00:13:38.559 for the blue all season law. 288 00:13:39.279 --> 00:13:42.159 Marongo Casino Dodgers on Deck continues as he leads up 289 00:13:42.200 --> 00:13:45.240 to first pitch. Dodgers and Guardians on this Memorial Day. 290 00:13:45.279 --> 00:13:49.000 Marongo Casino Resort in Spa, A Grand Slam for good times. 291 00:13:49.120 --> 00:13:52.519 Yoshinobu Yamamoto on the Mount. Gavin Williams goes for the 292 00:13:52.519 --> 00:13:54.519 Guardians first pitch from Cleveland at three ten. 293 00:13:54.960 --> 00:13:59.440 This it's the LA Dodgers injury report. 294 00:14:00.080 --> 00:14:02.840 You cla healthy official medical partner the Los Angeles Dodgers 295 00:14:02.879 --> 00:14:04.320 Roki Sasaki on the I L. 296 00:14:04.480 --> 00:14:06.840 Kirby Yates on the I L. Evan Phillips. 297 00:14:06.919 --> 00:14:10.440 Dave Roberts said yesterday it's a little concerning his right 298 00:14:10.639 --> 00:14:13.080 fore arm strain that is not getting any better and 299 00:14:13.120 --> 00:14:16.039 he is not throwing. Tyler Glass now Blake Snell are 300 00:14:16.080 --> 00:14:18.600 both on the men, as is Michael Kopek, who threw 301 00:14:19.000 --> 00:14:22.240 a scoreless ending of relief in Triple A Oklahoma City 302 00:14:22.279 --> 00:14:25.120 on a minor league rehab assignment yesterday. All right, let's 303 00:14:25.159 --> 00:14:27.159 head back out to Cleveland and check out the Dodgers skipper. 304 00:14:27.360 --> 00:14:30.159 Any questions for Dave? 305 00:14:30.240 --> 00:14:33.240 Dave? Can you just describe Dave? Can you talk about 306 00:14:33.279 --> 00:14:34.840 the pressure in. 307 00:14:34.879 --> 00:14:37.240 The dugouts with Dave Roberts. 308 00:14:37.600 --> 00:14:40.960 You know, this team, I don't know if they've seen him, 309 00:14:41.320 --> 00:14:44.120 certainly haven't seen him much, but I think for me, 310 00:14:44.200 --> 00:14:48.200 it's just heavy left handed lineup. I think he's going 311 00:14:48.279 --> 00:14:51.720 to be you know, obviously command is going to be important. 312 00:14:51.799 --> 00:14:55.200 I think that the split, the curveball mixing in, and 313 00:14:55.240 --> 00:14:59.600 I think honestly just continuing to be Oshinobu and you know, 314 00:15:00.360 --> 00:15:02.559 our bullpen's in a decent spot, but for him to 315 00:15:02.600 --> 00:15:04.879 still go deep and be who he is, is certainly 316 00:15:04.879 --> 00:15:06.320 going to be helpful and give us a good chance 317 00:15:06.320 --> 00:15:06.879 to win tonight. 318 00:15:07.039 --> 00:15:09.759 On the offensive side, we saw obviously the leadoff home 319 00:15:09.840 --> 00:15:11.799 run from show Hey yesterday, but then the offense was 320 00:15:11.840 --> 00:15:14.200 relatively limited yesterday. How do you want to see them 321 00:15:14.600 --> 00:15:17.799 just kind of get back to whether it's quality of 322 00:15:17.799 --> 00:15:20.600 a fence or just kind of more production as a whole. 323 00:15:21.679 --> 00:15:23.360 Yeah, you know, I think. 324 00:15:24.679 --> 00:15:28.720 It just kind of hasn't been synced up offensively. I 325 00:15:28.759 --> 00:15:31.399 think there's some good at bats for some guys at times. 326 00:15:31.840 --> 00:15:33.840 I think other times that were kind. 327 00:15:33.639 --> 00:15:38.679 Of a little too aggressive, you know, chasing out of 328 00:15:38.679 --> 00:15:41.200 the zone. But that's sort of baseball. But I think 329 00:15:41.279 --> 00:15:44.720 that you know, today, this guy's got a big arm, 330 00:15:45.440 --> 00:15:48.279 it's high velocity, and we've got to kind of lock 331 00:15:48.360 --> 00:15:50.799 in our hitting zone and just try to continue to 332 00:15:50.799 --> 00:15:53.279 take good swings. And yeah, there are times that we're 333 00:15:53.320 --> 00:15:58.200 gonna hit balls at guys with quality contact, but that's baseball, 334 00:15:58.360 --> 00:15:58.679 all right. 335 00:15:58.679 --> 00:16:01.320 There's the manager, Dave Robbers. We continue here on Dodgers 336 00:16:01.320 --> 00:16:04.159 on Deck. We'll check you in with the David says. 337 00:16:04.159 --> 00:16:06.639 We're leading you up to first pitch in Cleveland. Dodgers 338 00:16:06.679 --> 00:16:09.080 and Guardians on this Memorial Day, first pitch at three ten. 339 00:16:09.279 --> 00:16:12.879 I'm Tim Kates's World champion Los Angeles Dodgers. Audio nowhere. 340 00:16:15.080 --> 00:16:19.799 As we were saying, this is Marongo Casino Dodgers on 341 00:16:20.000 --> 00:16:23.879 deck on the official home of La Dodgers Baseball. 342 00:16:25.279 --> 00:16:29.639 It's the Dodgers and the Guardians started at three game sets. Yoshinobu, 343 00:16:29.679 --> 00:16:31.279 you have a mode on the mount on this Memorial Day. 344 00:16:31.279 --> 00:16:32.120 First pitch coming. 345 00:16:32.000 --> 00:16:37.399 Up at three ten, joining Tim Kates on Dodgers on deck. 346 00:16:37.480 --> 00:16:39.240 I accept everybody for who they are. 347 00:16:39.360 --> 00:16:42.519 This is Dodger insider David Basse. 348 00:16:42.840 --> 00:16:43.519 All right, DV. 349 00:16:43.679 --> 00:16:46.720 Memorial Day the unofficial start to summer and a good 350 00:16:46.759 --> 00:16:48.759 time to check your car. Make sure it's running to 351 00:16:48.759 --> 00:16:49.440 top performance. 352 00:16:49.480 --> 00:16:50.039 Out the Dodgers. 353 00:16:50.120 --> 00:16:52.039 Let's check in on the Dodgers on this Memorial Day. 354 00:16:52.120 --> 00:16:53.320 How are they checking in so far? 355 00:16:53.399 --> 00:16:55.799 DV, Well, it's concerning. 356 00:16:55.879 --> 00:16:58.600 I feel like Memorial Day is a good first checkpoint 357 00:16:58.720 --> 00:17:02.480 of the regular season. The Dodgers, despite having a lot 358 00:17:02.519 --> 00:17:07.000 of injuries to their pitching and some inconsistencies with their offense, 359 00:17:07.079 --> 00:17:09.440 are in a very good spot, one of the best 360 00:17:09.440 --> 00:17:12.680 records in the National League along with the Phillies, but 361 00:17:13.240 --> 00:17:16.640 part of the Dodgers' strength in years past has been 362 00:17:16.680 --> 00:17:19.920 their bullpen, and this year it hasn't been the case 363 00:17:20.039 --> 00:17:23.799 because of a lot of injuries, including to Blake Trinan 364 00:17:24.000 --> 00:17:27.559 and Evan Phillips, along with the fact that Michael Kopek 365 00:17:27.640 --> 00:17:31.519 still hasn't thrown a single pitch this season. But that 366 00:17:31.559 --> 00:17:35.160 doesn't change the fact the Dodger bullpen has given up 367 00:17:35.200 --> 00:17:38.920 the second most home runs of any bullpen in Major 368 00:17:39.000 --> 00:17:42.599 League Baseball thirty two home runs given up by the 369 00:17:42.640 --> 00:17:46.480 Dodger bullpen this year, only second to the Angels, who 370 00:17:46.480 --> 00:17:50.160 have given up thirty three. We also know tim about 371 00:17:50.160 --> 00:17:54.440 the workload of the bullpen two hundred and thirty innings 372 00:17:54.799 --> 00:17:57.519 in their first fifty three games of the year. 373 00:17:57.599 --> 00:17:59.480 That's just not sustainable. 374 00:18:00.079 --> 00:18:03.039 And I know it's kind of playing catch up right 375 00:18:03.079 --> 00:18:06.920 now if you're the Dodgers starting staff, but you can't 376 00:18:07.039 --> 00:18:10.640 undo already the innings that were pitched, so the only 377 00:18:10.680 --> 00:18:12.799 thing they can do is try to move forward and 378 00:18:12.880 --> 00:18:17.000 minimize the workload to their high leverage believers. I also 379 00:18:17.079 --> 00:18:19.799 forgot Kirby Yates. He's on the il right now with 380 00:18:19.880 --> 00:18:22.759 the right hand string strains. So that's part of the 381 00:18:22.799 --> 00:18:25.640 reason why Dave Roberts is so intent on pushing his 382 00:18:25.720 --> 00:18:28.240 starters in tonight. They have the right guy on the 383 00:18:28.279 --> 00:18:31.200 mound to do just that, and that's Yoshi Yamamoto. 384 00:18:31.440 --> 00:18:32.559 David has driven by Ford. 385 00:18:32.559 --> 00:18:34.680 If this one thing we like, it's choices, of course, 386 00:18:34.880 --> 00:18:37.240 finding yours at the Ford F one to fifty gas hybrid, 387 00:18:37.319 --> 00:18:39.839 all electric tough. This mark can only be called the 388 00:18:40.039 --> 00:18:44.079 F one fifty. Mookie Betts playing shortstop David in the past. 389 00:18:44.359 --> 00:18:47.200 In the past being last year he talked about it mentally, 390 00:18:47.279 --> 00:18:50.680 to get prepared to play shortstop every single day was 391 00:18:50.759 --> 00:18:53.279 draining on him. You think it's taken away maybe this 392 00:18:53.440 --> 00:18:54.960 year from his offense. 393 00:18:55.079 --> 00:18:56.079 I really do? I mean? 394 00:18:56.559 --> 00:18:59.200 Can we say Mookie Betts has been a difference maker 395 00:18:59.240 --> 00:19:02.839 offensively so far this year. He's hitting two sixty with 396 00:19:02.880 --> 00:19:06.720 eight home runs. He's had flashes. But tim the facts 397 00:19:06.759 --> 00:19:10.160 are and why so many teams were a little surprised 398 00:19:10.200 --> 00:19:13.519 the Dodgers would make this move is that Mookie Betts, 399 00:19:13.599 --> 00:19:16.359 one of the greatest athletes we have seen to play 400 00:19:16.400 --> 00:19:21.079 Major League baseball, is still human. He's thirty two years old, 401 00:19:21.119 --> 00:19:23.440
