They fell 22 00:01:09.920 --> 00:01:13.640 behind early but rally to win Game two. On Sunday night, 23 00:01:13.959 --> 00:01:16.959 the Dodgers again fell behind early, but we're unable to 24 00:01:17.000 --> 00:01:20.280 come back this time. The Dodgers sent Jack Flaherty to 25 00:01:20.359 --> 00:01:22.920 the mount in Game two on Sunday night. In the 26 00:01:22.959 --> 00:01:26.040 first inning, he got into some early trouble. 27 00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:31.000 For Jack Flaherty, the pride of Burdbank, California, Harvard Westlake Wolverine, 28 00:01:33.079 --> 00:01:35.959 now with the bon in his hands, starting a postseason 29 00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:39.719 game at Dodgers Stadium for his hometown club as tatist 30 00:01:39.760 --> 00:01:42.560 Let's went high and deep to left field, carrying toward 31 00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:46.680 the Dodger bullpen and into the bullpen for a home run. 32 00:01:47.200 --> 00:01:52.920 Fernando Tatist Junior loves to terrorize the Dodgers here at 33 00:01:53.000 --> 00:01:57.519 Dodgers Stadium, especially his second home run of the postseason 34 00:01:58.200 --> 00:01:59.959 makes it one nothing San Diego. 35 00:02:00.239 --> 00:02:01.079 Two batters in. 36 00:02:01.400 --> 00:02:05.200 Carnando Cities, Junior makes it a one to nothing Padres lead. 37 00:02:05.439 --> 00:02:06.000 Just like that. 38 00:02:06.120 --> 00:02:07.760 That is the top tier play of the game sponsored 39 00:02:07.760 --> 00:02:11.319 by Arco Quality top tier gas for les You. Darbish 40 00:02:11.439 --> 00:02:14.400 was on the mound for the Padres. In the second inning, 41 00:02:14.520 --> 00:02:19.479 Dodgers found themselves down three to nothing. Well, the Dodgers 42 00:02:19.560 --> 00:02:21.560 kind of answered back in the bottom half of the 43 00:02:21.599 --> 00:02:24.599 second inning. With Darbish on the mound, ta Oscar Hernandez 44 00:02:24.639 --> 00:02:27.319 is single the center, Max Munsey's single to right, Dodgers 45 00:02:27.400 --> 00:02:30.039 had something going. Will Smith drew a walk to load 46 00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:32.719 the bases. With nobody out for Gavin Lux. 47 00:02:32.599 --> 00:02:35.120 Darbish on the mound, has the ball to belt, picks 48 00:02:35.120 --> 00:02:37.039 it up to the letters, looks back at Mounsey on 49 00:02:37.159 --> 00:02:40.319 second base, focuses on Lucks at home, throws the pitch 50 00:02:40.319 --> 00:02:43.280 and Lucks hits it high in the air. Left field 51 00:02:43.319 --> 00:02:46.560 pro far calling for Taskar and Indo is little tag 52 00:02:46.639 --> 00:02:49.879 from third and he will score without a play. It's 53 00:02:49.960 --> 00:02:53.039 a sacrifice fly for Gavin Lucks. The Dodgers are on 54 00:02:53.080 --> 00:02:54.520 the board and now within two. 55 00:02:55.080 --> 00:02:57.599 It's three to one that San Diego. 56 00:02:57.360 --> 00:03:00.199 Gavin locks with the sack fly. That is the fresh 57 00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:02.520 breath of fresh air moment of the game. Presented by 58 00:03:02.520 --> 00:03:05.759 Atari Mechanical.

A tar mechanical delivers friendly on his 65 00:03:21.599 --> 00:03:24.360 service at a fair price. Well nothing was fair on 66 00:03:24.400 --> 00:03:26.840 Sunday night, as the Dodgers, down three to one, had 67 00:03:26.840 --> 00:03:28.719 an opportunity to get back on the board with some 68 00:03:28.800 --> 00:03:31.159 more but Tommy Edmund lined into a double play to 69 00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:33.280 end the threat in the second and that was really 70 00:03:33.319 --> 00:03:35.560 it for the Dodgers. Didn't mount much of an offense 71 00:03:35.759 --> 00:03:37.840 the rest of the way until a home run in 72 00:03:37.919 --> 00:03:41.479 the ninth inning for Max Munsey to four hundred and 73 00:03:41.479 --> 00:03:43.639 twenty two feet to right field, but that was it. 74 00:03:43.719 --> 00:03:46.879 By then the Padres were up ten to two. Is 75 00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:49.680 a take game two you Darvish goes seven innings, allows 76 00:03:49.680 --> 00:03:52.319 the one run, three hits, three strikeouts to get the victory. 77 00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:54.439 Jack Felerty we ended up pitching into the sixth inning, 78 00:03:54.639 --> 00:03:57.080 not before giving up four runs on five hits a 79 00:03:57.120 --> 00:03:59.680 couple of home runs. As the Dodgers and Padres now 80 00:03:59.719 --> 00:04:02.680 find themselves squared off at a game a piece game three, 81 00:04:02.840 --> 00:04:05.639 This best of five series is coming up tonight. Walker 82 00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:07.759 Buehler on the mound. First pitch is six oh eight, 83 00:04:07.919 --> 00:04:09.840 and with more we head out to the Galvin Motors 84 00:04:09.840 --> 00:04:13.400 broadcast booth and say hello to Steven Nelson and Rick Monday. 85 00:04:13.439 --> 00:04:18.000 Guys, they get him the countdown, getting closer and closer 86 00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:20.000 to the first pitch and where there's going to be 87 00:04:20.120 --> 00:04:22.519 less talking and more baseballing. 88 00:04:22.600 --> 00:04:24.680 Rick Monday, it's been a long. 89 00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:28.240 Day off, I would say for both sides since Game 90 00:04:28.319 --> 00:04:31.720 number two, when the emotions of this series were really 91 00:04:31.800 --> 00:04:32.360 kicked up. 92 00:04:32.240 --> 00:04:33.120 Into a high gear. 93 00:04:33.759 --> 00:04:36.199 There's been a lot talked about, a lot written about, 94 00:04:36.240 --> 00:04:41.360 a lot said between both clubhouses entering this game three, 95 00:04:41.480 --> 00:04:44.439 and again I just I'm ready for a baseball. 96 00:04:44.079 --> 00:04:45.959 Game, West. Thank you for Deep in the forest. So 97 00:04:45.959 --> 00:04:48.079 with all the churking that's taking place over the next 98 00:04:48.279 --> 00:04:50.199 last couple of days, but you know, it has nothing 99 00:04:50.199 --> 00:04:52.360 to do with what has to happen on the field tonight. 100 00:04:52.800 --> 00:04:54.879 And I think, really, if you're the visiting team, need 101 00:04:54.920 --> 00:04:56.319 to come in. I mean, this is going to be 102 00:04:56.360 --> 00:04:58.319 a Rockers crowd. I mean, and for good reason. You 103 00:04:58.360 --> 00:04:59.879 start to look at what this ball club has done 104 00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:04.759 San Diego sellout crowds fifty six different sellouts. Well, it 105 00:05:04.759 --> 00:05:07.120 will be a sellout tonight in postseason on time of it, 106 00:05:07.199 --> 00:05:09.680 and they're fired up. I mean, the series tied at 107 00:05:09.680 --> 00:05:12.480 one game apiece, and I really think that right now 108 00:05:13.000 --> 00:05:15.480 in this game tonight it is I can't say it's 109 00:05:15.480 --> 00:05:17.399 a must win for this Dodger ball club, but they 110 00:05:17.399 --> 00:05:20.160 don't want to be pinned up against the wall tomorrow 111 00:05:20.279 --> 00:05:22.240 night and they must win. And I think it's a 112 00:05:22.360 --> 00:05:25.600 huge outing now for Walker Bueler who towes the rubber 113 00:05:25.639 --> 00:05:26.959 for the Dodgers tonight. 114 00:05:26.800 --> 00:05:29.399 And mathematically none of us win. Mobile We talked about 115 00:05:29.439 --> 00:05:32.680 this the other night. In this division series era, the 116 00:05:32.720 --> 00:05:35.639 best of five series, when the series is tied at 117 00:05:35.680 --> 00:05:39.720 one apiece, the winner of game three is forty five 118 00:05:39.800 --> 00:05:41.839 and seventeen seventy three percent of the time. 119 00:05:41.839 --> 00:05:43.680 Basically, if the winner of Game three goes on to 120 00:05:43.759 --> 00:05:44.759 win this series. 121 00:05:44.560 --> 00:05:47.399 Isn't amazing how you kind of transfer Because after Game 122 00:05:47.439 --> 00:05:49.879 one we were talking about the team that wins game 123 00:05:49.920 --> 00:05:53.439 one in the best of a five series seventy percent 124 00:05:53.680 --> 00:05:55.240 they come out of it. So, yeah, the odds are 125 00:05:55.279 --> 00:05:57.439 going to change. What the Dodgers have to do is 126 00:05:57.519 --> 00:05:59.759 to change the numbers on the scoreboard. Forget about the 127 00:05:59.800 --> 00:06:02.279 eye change the numbers on the scoreboard. And I think 128 00:06:02.319 --> 00:06:04.519 they have to play with more vitality than what we 129 00:06:04.560 --> 00:06:07.600 saw in Game two of that series. And the Dodgers 130 00:06:07.920 --> 00:06:11.160 they cannot be passive this ball club. On the other side, 131 00:06:11.360 --> 00:06:13.920 in the first base home dugout, the Sandego and Andres, 132 00:06:14.399 --> 00:06:16.800 they are going to have a raucous crowd behind them 133 00:06:16.839 --> 00:06:19.759 because they made a big hallabaloo about what took place 134 00:06:20.120 --> 00:06:23.519 in Los Angeles. Baseball is being thrown? Was one thrown 135 00:06:23.639 --> 00:06:27.600 at the Dodgers dugouts by Manny Machado. What's this was 136 00:06:29.040 --> 00:06:32.240 to tease intentially hit my pitch. Oh that's blowney, it's 137 00:06:32.279 --> 00:06:35.199 billboard stuff. The Dodgers have to play good baseball and 138 00:06:35.279 --> 00:06:36.399 play aggressive baseball. 139 00:06:36.519 --> 00:06:39.360 Play good baseball, play aggressive baseball, but do not play 140 00:06:39.480 --> 00:06:43.519 into what the Padres want, which is like getting into 141 00:06:44.399 --> 00:06:45.959 the antics and the emotion and the way. 142 00:06:45.879 --> 00:06:47.560 They come out. And again that's not a potch out 143 00:06:47.560 --> 00:06:49.160 of the Padres. Tim is to get it back to you. 144 00:06:49.519 --> 00:06:51.920 That is the personality of that clubhouse, which is a 145 00:06:51.959 --> 00:06:54.560 stark contrast to the one in the Dodgers clubhouse. You 146 00:06:54.560 --> 00:06:56.720 have to be who you are and play your game. 147 00:06:57.000 --> 00:06:59.240 The Dodgers definitely did not play their game in game 148 00:06:59.319 --> 00:07:01.519 number two. Let's see if they do it here in 149 00:07:01.560 --> 00:07:02.319 game number three. 150 00:07:02.480 --> 00:07:04.800 Well said Nelly, do not play their reindeer game. 151 00:07:04.920 --> 00:07:05.240 Dodgers. 152 00:07:05.279 --> 00:07:06.839 All right, if we count you down to first pitch, 153 00:07:07.040 --> 00:07:09.279 Dodger fans, get your game day meal on at Shaky's 154 00:07:09.279 --> 00:07:12.800 Pizza Parlor or your Shaky's Pizza.

Certainly things spirited on 176 00:08:20.879 --> 00:08:23.160 and off the field during the course of those nine innings, 177 00:08:23.160 --> 00:08:25.720 but the Dodgers offense couldn't get jump started. Just the 178 00:08:25.720 --> 00:08:28.199 one run on the Gavin lux sack fly in the 179 00:08:28.240 --> 00:08:30.319 second and then in the bottom half of the ninth inning, 180 00:08:30.600 --> 00:08:33.480 Max Munsey tacked on a home run a solo shot 181 00:08:33.600 --> 00:08:36.120 to make it a ten to two Padres win.

I mean, I think 192 00:09:05.039 --> 00:09:07.039 there were a lot of questions, especially since seeing him 193 00:09:07.039 --> 00:09:09.360 come out of the game during Game two, he had 194 00:09:09.360 --> 00:09:11.759 two at bats and he exited at Dave Roberts said 195 00:09:11.879 --> 00:09:15.200 yesterday that he kind of tweaked his ankle on like 196 00:09:15.240 --> 00:09:17.200 while he was swinging the bat, and he even Freddy 197 00:09:17.200 --> 00:09:20.000 had shared with us that he didn't necessarily. Yes, running 198 00:09:20.039 --> 00:09:22.000 is one thing, you know, kind of going from the 199 00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:25.960 bases obviously, like the kind of lateral movements, that's one thing. 200 00:09:25.960 --> 00:09:28.080 But he did have a little bit of concern just 201 00:09:28.120 --> 00:09:31.279 with sometimes swinging, so he ended up kind of tweaking 202 00:09:31.279 --> 00:09:34.080 it while he was swinging the bat against Darvish, and 203 00:09:34.120 --> 00:09:36.399 so now it's a matter of he was in treatment 204 00:09:36.480 --> 00:09:39.279 all day yesterday. He didn't do any baseball activities. We 205 00:09:39.320 --> 00:09:41.080 did have a little bit more of a mental reset. 206 00:09:41.399 --> 00:09:43.240 But as of right now, he feels good to go. 207 00:09:43.320 --> 00:09:45.360 So he'll be out there. Hopefully he can stay out there, 208 00:09:45.360 --> 00:09:47.320 but if for some reason he can't, just like we 209 00:09:47.360 --> 00:09:50.679 saw in game two with Max Munsey taking over at first, 210 00:09:50.759 --> 00:09:53.399 Kik Hernanez coming into the game to play at third. 211 00:09:53.679 --> 00:09:55.600 That would be the same kind of setup if for 212 00:09:55.639 --> 00:09:58.039 some reason Freddy does have to come out of the game. 213 00:09:58.360 --> 00:10:01.320 But for Max, he feels confident about playing the position. Obviously, 214 00:10:01.360 --> 00:10:04.000 we saw the scare two years ago with the playoff first. 215 00:10:05.559 --> 00:10:08.120 Hopefully that does not come, that doesn't happen again. He said, 216 00:10:08.120 --> 00:10:11.320 that's something obvious, that's just a natural Your body doesn't 217 00:10:11.559 --> 00:10:14.399 is going to kind of be a little bit constraint. 218 00:10:14.440 --> 00:10:16.919 I guess when react to something like that, just due 219 00:10:16.960 --> 00:10:19.240 to what happened before. But the hope is, you know, 220 00:10:19.279 --> 00:10:22.120 Freddy's out there, and the good thing is that he 221 00:10:22.240 --> 00:10:23.759 is out there, and hopefully he could just kind of 222 00:10:23.840 --> 00:10:25.679 keep it going. But because I mean, look, it's very 223 00:10:25.720 --> 00:10:27.919 telling me. You have a player who has been injured 224 00:10:28.000 --> 00:10:30.759 for what ten days now, and he's it's an injury 225 00:10:30.759 --> 00:10:32.559 that's four to six weeks. That's huge when you see 226 00:10:32.559 --> 00:10:34.600 a play a guy battling it out and wanting to 227 00:10:34.600 --> 00:10:34.960 be out. 228 00:10:34.879 --> 00:10:37.919 There, no doubt about it. Walk Reviewaler on the mounta tonight, man, 229 00:10:37.960 --> 00:10:40.759 it would be nice to have walk Reveeler of twenty 230 00:10:40.799 --> 00:10:43.279 twenty one back tonight on the mounth for the Dodgers. 231 00:10:44.000 --> 00:10:45.759 Yeah, but even like if we look at the walker 232 00:10:45.799 --> 00:10:48.200 that faced these padres the last time during the end 233 00:10:48.240 --> 00:10:50.879 of the regular season, you know he was able to 234 00:10:50.879 --> 00:10:54.240 get jams. He was he gave the energy that this 235 00:10:54.320 --> 00:10:56.840 team needed to push through to win the game, to 236 00:10:56.879 --> 00:10:58.960 then win the division. I mean, he's been in a 237 00:10:59.000 --> 00:11:02.200 situation not only just meaningful game, it must win game. 238 00:11:02.519 --> 00:11:04.279 He's done it in the past in the postseason. We 239 00:11:04.320 --> 00:11:06.399 saw him recently doing it in his most recent outing. 240 00:11:06.679 --> 00:11:09.000 And so for him today, like this is just he 241 00:11:09.080 --> 00:11:11.240 wants the ball. He is someone who he lives for, 242 00:11:11.440 --> 00:11:14.799 like literally lives for these moments. And so for him, 243 00:11:14.919 --> 00:11:17.080 he's excited, he's ready to go. He does believe that. 244 00:11:17.240 --> 00:11:19.519 You know, in during the regular season it was about 245 00:11:19.519 --> 00:11:22.080 building blocks that is now out the door. He's got 246 00:11:22.120 --> 00:11:23.799 to bring it from the first pitch. He wants to 247 00:11:23.799 --> 00:11:25.799 bring the energy and he just wants to go out there. 248 00:11:26.039 --> 00:11:27.879 And the biggest thing for him is having a clean 249 00:11:28.000 --> 00:11:30.360 first inning. We've seen in the regular season there have 250 00:11:30.360 --> 00:11:32.919 been times where he's settled in after the first and 251 00:11:32.960 --> 00:11:35.759 so the era is pretty high in that first inning today. 252 00:11:36.039 --> 00:11:38.120 Cannot do that. The team cannot do that. They need 253 00:11:38.159 --> 00:11:40.200 to find a way the Hopefully he can come into 254 00:11:40.279 --> 00:11:42.559 the game with already some offensive support. 255 00:11:42.840 --> 00:11:44.759 Let's hope so, Kirsten appreciate it. We'll check out with 256 00:11:44.840 --> 00:11:46.720 you after the game.

But up next 263 00:12:01.399 --> 00:12:03.879 we'll get the pregame thoughts of the manager, Dave Roberts. 264 00:12:03.960 --> 00:12:07.480 It's a Dodgers and Padres Game three of the an LDS. 265 00:12:07.639 --> 00:12:09.879 First pitch at six oh eight. I'm Tim Kats's Los 266 00:12:09.919 --> 00:12:11.799 Angeles Dodgers Audio Network. 267 00:12:14.080 --> 00:12:19.200 Well, this is Wrongo Casino Dodgers Hunt game on your 268 00:12:19.279 --> 00:12:21.519 home for La Dodgers Baseball. 269 00:12:24.720 --> 00:12:27.759 Brongo Casino Dodgers on Deck continues as we lead you 270 00:12:27.840 --> 00:12:31.360 up to first pitch, Game three of the NLDS from 271 00:12:31.399 --> 00:12:35.320 San Diego. It's the Dodgers and Padres, Wrongo Casino Resort 272 00:12:35.360 --> 00:12:40.120 and spot good times for everyone. Walker Buehler and Michael King. 273 00:12:40.240 --> 00:12:43.200 The pitching matchup, first pitch coming up at six oh eight. 274 00:12:43.279 --> 00:12:44.840 Let's head back down south and check out what the 275 00:12:44.840 --> 00:12:46.679 Dodgers get burn any Dave? 276 00:12:46.720 --> 00:12:48.440 Do you think my questions for Dave? 277 00:12:48.519 --> 00:12:51.519 Dave? Can you just describe Dave? Can you talk about 278 00:12:51.519 --> 00:12:52.480 the pressure. 279 00:12:52.919 --> 00:12:55.120 In the dugouts with Dave Robbers? 280 00:12:56.000 --> 00:12:57.919 Dave, just when you look at this matchup tonight, what 281 00:12:57.960 --> 00:13:00.200 are you hoping to see from the offense and how 282 00:13:00.240 --> 00:13:02.159 are you hoping to see them attack Michael King. 283 00:13:03.840 --> 00:13:07.960 Tonight? Michael's obviously had a heck of a year seeing 284 00:13:08.000 --> 00:13:11.360 him a lot. I think for us is just to 285 00:13:11.440 --> 00:13:13.919 be on the attack. I think he's a guy that 286 00:13:14.720 --> 00:13:18.240 tries to attack you. He's a strike thrower and then 287 00:13:18.320 --> 00:13:22.600 he hunts for the strikeout, and so I think for 288 00:13:22.759 --> 00:13:27.039 us is just to be ready to fire early when 289 00:13:27.080 --> 00:13:28.360 the balls in the hitting zone. 290 00:13:28.759 --> 00:13:31.399 With the emotional dynamics of this series, like how have 291 00:13:31.440 --> 00:13:34.279 you seen that factor into like the actual games and 292 00:13:34.360 --> 00:13:37.200 the first two and how important do you think that's 293 00:13:37.240 --> 00:13:39.600 going to be especially in these two games here and 294 00:13:39.639 --> 00:13:40.080 try to. 295 00:13:40.600 --> 00:13:44.759 I don't think they they factored into the first two games. 296 00:13:45.000 --> 00:13:47.360 I thought there was emotions in the first game. I 297 00:13:47.399 --> 00:13:49.519 thought we did a good job fighting and winning a 298 00:13:49.559 --> 00:13:52.879 ball game. The second game we got our butts kicked. 299 00:13:54.120 --> 00:13:56.480 So I don't think that either way. We got our 300 00:13:56.480 --> 00:13:59.519 butts kicked. Yesterday, I thought it was a good work day. 301 00:14:00.399 --> 00:14:02.039 This is going to be a great environment. I mean, 302 00:14:02.039 --> 00:14:03.600 this is one of the better places to play in 303 00:14:03.600 --> 00:14:07.399 all of baseball, which is fantastic. So I'm excited. Our 304 00:14:07.399 --> 00:14:09.360 guys are excited. It's going to be a high energy 305 00:14:09.399 --> 00:14:09.919 game tonight. 306 00:14:10.279 --> 00:14:13.200 When you guys talk about trying to match the Padres intensity, 307 00:14:13.240 --> 00:14:15.960 is there like a fine line there between playing with 308 00:14:16.039 --> 00:14:18.840 intensity but not kind of getting out of your own 309 00:14:18.879 --> 00:14:22.039 game and kind of the even keel kind of mindset 310 00:14:22.039 --> 00:14:23.840 that you guys have during the latter season. 311 00:14:23.960 --> 00:14:28.399 Absolutely, I just think that it can't be manufactured. I 312 00:14:28.440 --> 00:14:30.919 think that you have to appreciate it and understand the 313 00:14:31.039 --> 00:14:33.919 value in it of getting fired and playing with energy. 314 00:14:35.480 --> 00:14:39.399 I just don't think manufacturing it is sustained. But I do, 315 00:14:39.759 --> 00:14:42.399 and I do think that, you know, the most important 316 00:14:42.440 --> 00:14:43.759 thing is playing good baseball. 317 00:14:44.080 --> 00:14:44.399 All right. 318 00:14:44.399 --> 00:14:47.399 There's Dave Roberts in some pregame thoughts Dave Roberts down 319 00:14:47.440 --> 00:14:49.399 the dug out brought to you by Service Titan.

Walker 333 00:15:35.080 --> 00:15:37.840 viewer Michael King. The pitching matchup coming up, we'll hear 334 00:15:37.879 --> 00:15:40.480 from Will Smith. Will dive deeper into this pitching matchup. 335 00:15:40.840 --> 00:15:45.960 But first, joining Tim Kats on Dodgers on Deck, I. 336 00:15:45.919 --> 00:15:47.559 Accept everybody for who they are. 337 00:15:47.679 --> 00:15:50.840 This is Dodger insider David Basse. 338 00:15:51.320 --> 00:15:56.080 All right, David, been a long twenty four hours since 339 00:15:56.279 --> 00:15:58.879 Game two on Sunday night as loud as transpire. But 340 00:15:59.120 --> 00:16:01.120 one thing that hasn't happen and he had this postseason, 341 00:16:01.200 --> 00:16:03.960 is Mookie Betts so looking for that first hit. But 342 00:16:04.080 --> 00:16:05.600 he's working hard on his swing, isn't he. 343 00:16:06.559 --> 00:16:09.759 I talked to Dodgers hitting coach Aaron Bates just about 344 00:16:09.799 --> 00:16:12.200 an hour ago, and I said, is it true that 345 00:16:12.320 --> 00:16:15.759 Mookie Betts spent three hours in the hitting cage yesterday? 346 00:16:16.120 --> 00:16:19.559 He said that was exaggerated. It was about an hour 347 00:16:20.480 --> 00:16:24.519 to about two hours being in the cage, and it 348 00:16:24.600 --> 00:16:29.879 wasn't relentless swings. It was stopping examining the swing. Talking 349 00:16:29.919 --> 00:16:33.639 about the swing. The way he compared it was if 350 00:16:33.639 --> 00:16:36.039 you go play eighteen holes on a golf course, then 351 00:16:36.039 --> 00:16:38.840 you go to the driving range and hit more golf balls, 352 00:16:38.840 --> 00:16:42.200 And that's what he said was taking place yesterday. Mookie 353 00:16:42.200 --> 00:16:44.639 Bet stayed in the cage a little bit longer today 354 00:16:44.720 --> 00:16:48.720 during the Dodgers end of batting practice, and it kind 355 00:16:48.720 --> 00:16:51.279 of feels like he's just getting some of a you know, 356 00:16:51.519 --> 00:16:55.080 extra energy out or anxiety out before a game, and 357 00:16:55.120 --> 00:16:56.879 that's the best way for him to do it. But 358 00:16:57.919 --> 00:17:00.799 as some players told me, Mookie Bet has got to 359 00:17:00.919 --> 00:17:04.319 stop worrying about what other people are saying. He's got 360 00:17:04.319 --> 00:17:06.799 to stop worrying about being over for his last twenty 361 00:17:06.839 --> 00:17:10.240 two in the playoffs and just worry about himself and 362 00:17:10.319 --> 00:17:12.720 worry about the guys in the clubhouse and what they're 363 00:17:12.759 --> 00:17:13.359 telling him. 364 00:17:13.559 --> 00:17:16.319 I'm worried about Freddy Freeman in that ankle, DV. How's 365 00:17:16.319 --> 00:17:17.839 it going well. 366 00:17:17.880 --> 00:17:19.920 He is still in the starting lineup, but there are 367 00:17:19.960 --> 00:17:23.960 no guarantees tim that he finishes the game. Liking Game two, 368 00:17:24.839 --> 00:17:28.039 the pain was just too much for him, and obviously 369 00:17:28.440 --> 00:17:30.119 it's the end of the year. I'm sure the right 370 00:17:30.119 --> 00:17:32.680 ankle is not the only thing Freddy's dealing with, but 371 00:17:32.839 --> 00:17:36.039 obviously that's the one that is at the forefront. But 372 00:17:36.519 --> 00:17:40.039 if he can't continue to give the Dodgers what they need, 373 00:17:40.079 --> 00:17:42.079 there's a good chance that he may not be in 374 00:17:42.119 --> 00:17:45.720 there tomorrow against Martin Perez, the left hander. That could 375 00:17:45.799 --> 00:17:48.839 be a game, especially if the Dodgers win tonight, that 376 00:17:48.960 --> 00:17:51.519 you may see Freddy Freeman come off the bench. But 377 00:17:52.000 --> 00:17:54.400 he's forcing his way in there and he wants to 378 00:17:54.400 --> 00:17:56.559 be in the starting lineup, But whether or not he 379 00:17:56.640 --> 00:17:59.079 finishes the game tonight still remains to be seen. 380 00:17:59.279 --> 00:18:01.400 David has driven for if there's one thing we like, 381 00:18:01.480 --> 00:18:03.599 its choices, find yours with the fur F one to 382 00:18:03.599 --> 00:18:06.640 fifty gas hybrid all electric tough this mark can only 383 00:18:06.680 --> 00:18:09.599 be called F one P fifty. A lot happened in 384 00:18:09.680 --> 00:18:12.039 Game two on and off the field, good and bad 385 00:18:12.079 --> 00:18:16.279 their DV tonight. Do you expect any kind of warnings 386 00:18:16.319 --> 00:18:17.599 to be issued by the umpires? 387 00:18:18.799 --> 00:18:21.759 I asked Dave Roberts that, and he said he hopes 388 00:18:21.880 --> 00:18:27.400 the umpires are judicious with issuing warnings, meaning understanding the score, 389 00:18:27.880 --> 00:18:30.720 the inning, where it is, and whether or not there 390 00:18:30.839 --> 00:18:34.839 was intent. If somebody does get hit in this game, 391 00:18:35.000 --> 00:18:37.880 and the Dave Roberts is not that type of manager 392 00:18:38.000 --> 00:18:41.720 to order a pitcher to hit another player, so I 393 00:18:41.759 --> 00:18:45.160 don't see that happening. But we have talked about in 394 00:18:45.200 --> 00:18:47.759 this series where the Dodgers have to do a better 395 00:18:47.839 --> 00:18:51.880 job of pitching inside to the really good Padres hitters. 396 00:18:52.319 --> 00:18:54.839 And I'll just give you some background. Walker Bueller and 397 00:18:54.880 --> 00:18:58.480 many Machado teammates with the Dodgers in twenty eighteen. They 398 00:18:58.480 --> 00:19:02.200 have a great relationship. I don't see Walker Bueller going 399 00:19:02.200 --> 00:19:06.319 out of bounds on Machado, but during the regular season 400 00:19:06.759 --> 00:19:09.400 he did buzz the tower a couple of times against 401 00:19:09.400 --> 00:19:10.920
