Stadium is coming up at one time between then and now,
30
00:01:28.760 --> 00:01:30.760
we got a lot to get to here. On Morongo
31
00:01:30.799 --> 00:01:33.959
Casino Dodgers on Deck, you're gonna hear from Dodger rookie
32
00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:37.519
Alex Friedland. He is off to a blistering start here

00:01:37.560 --> 00:01:40.760
since getting called up from TRIPAA Oklahoma City. David Vassay,
34
00:01:40.840 --> 00:01:43.200
we'll check in throughout the show. We'll hear from the manager,
35
00:01:43.319 --> 00:01:46.640
Dave Roberts, his pregame thoughts, You're Dodgers, magical moment, the
36
00:01:46.680 --> 00:01:50.439
latest on the Dodgers injury. Shortly, Kirsten Watson will join
37
00:01:50.519 --> 00:01:53.239
us live from the field at Dodgers Stadium, and in
38
00:01:53.319 --> 00:01:54.719
just a few minutes we'll head out to the Gallpin
39
00:01:54.799 --> 00:01:57.799
Motors broadcast booth with Tim Neverett and Rick Monday. Well,
40
00:01:57.879 --> 00:02:01.359
last night it was an offensive explore lotion for the
41
00:02:01.439 --> 00:02:04.480
Dodgers and it's exactly what they needed. Im she and
42
00:02:04.599 --> 00:02:07.200
got the start. He'd go five Indians allowed two runs
43
00:02:07.239 --> 00:02:09.680
on four hits while striking out five along the way.
44
00:02:09.879 --> 00:02:12.039
Then he turned it over to the Dodgers' bullpen. But
45
00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:16.240
the Dodgers scored early, and they scored often. Freddie Freeman
46
00:02:16.319 --> 00:02:19.599
a sack fly in the first scoring show Hey Dodgers
47
00:02:19.639 --> 00:02:22.039
grabbed a one nothing lead than Max Munsey with a
48
00:02:22.199 --> 00:02:25.599
solo home run, a four hundred and sixteen foot blast
49
00:02:25.639 --> 00:02:28.719
to right center field, his fourteenth of the season. The
50
00:02:28.759 --> 00:02:31.639
Dodgers were up two to nothing, but the Cardinals got
51
00:02:31.639 --> 00:02:34.000
that runs back in the second innings. We're tied at
52
00:02:34.039 --> 00:02:36.960
two in the third when Max Munsey did it again.
53
00:02:37.120 --> 00:02:41.400
One's playball, ampm too much good stuff. HUNSI swings hits
54
00:02:41.439 --> 00:02:45.439
a drive right center field that's pop back and is gone.
55
00:02:45.599 --> 00:02:46.560
He's done it again.
56
00:02:47.319 --> 00:02:49.560
Two home runs on the night for Monsey and the
57
00:02:49.639 --> 00:02:51.719
Dodgers lead it four to two.
58
00:02:54.199 --> 00:02:56.599
Boy, he's got that home run struped.
59
00:02:56.240 --> 00:02:59.680
Back, Yes, he does. Number fifteen on the season is
60
00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:03.840
second of the nights the Dodgers afforded to lead. Right
61
00:03:03.840 --> 00:03:06.960
behind them ta Oscar Hernandez back to back home runs.
62
00:03:07.319 --> 00:03:10.000
If five to two Dodgers lead, Dodgers would be up
63
00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:12.560
five to three going to the bottom of the third
64
00:03:12.599 --> 00:03:15.759
inning when they really powered it on Max Munsey and
65
00:03:15.960 --> 00:03:18.599
RBI single. What a night he had last night. Dodgers
66
00:03:18.680 --> 00:03:21.159
up six to three, Max Munsey had already homer twice.
67
00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:24.639
Ta Oscar Hernandez already already homer in the third. Could
68
00:03:24.639 --> 00:03:26.599
Tao do it again in the seventh?
69
00:03:26.719 --> 00:03:31.039
Yes, Grenelle out of the stretch, checks the runners, and
70
00:03:31.159 --> 00:03:33.240
the right hander comes to the plate and this ball
71
00:03:33.439 --> 00:03:34.000
is said.
72
00:03:33.879 --> 00:03:37.000
Hi indeap the center failed.
73
00:03:36.879 --> 00:03:39.759
Way back in gone a home.
74
00:03:39.599 --> 00:03:44.960
Run Taioscar Hernandez his second of the game, a three
75
00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:48.960
run shot, and the Dodgers lead at nine to three.
76
00:03:49.080 --> 00:03:51.120
Oh, what a blast by Teoscar.
77
00:03:51.800 --> 00:03:55.000
Tay Oscar does in fact go deep again, his second
78
00:03:55.000 --> 00:03:59.199
of the night, eighteenth on the year for Tao. Dodgers
79
00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:02.639
up now nine to three. Freddy or Alex Freeland, then
80
00:04:02.719 --> 00:04:04.840
an RBI single made it a ten to three game.
81
00:04:04.879 --> 00:04:07.280
The Dodgers portered on in the eighth inning with a
82
00:04:07.280 --> 00:04:10.080
few more runs two more to be exact. They go
83
00:04:10.120 --> 00:04:12.039
on and win it by a final of twelve to six.
84
00:04:12.120 --> 00:04:15.159
One a night an offensive explosion for the Dodgers, twelve
85
00:04:15.199 --> 00:04:18.920
runs on seventeen hits, Max Munsey his fourth multi home
86
00:04:19.000 --> 00:04:20.959
run game of the season, and that is a top
87
00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:23.040
tier player. The game brought to you by Arco Quality
88
00:04:23.240 --> 00:04:25.560
top Tier Gas for Less is the first time the
89
00:04:25.600 --> 00:04:27.839
Dodgers have had two players with multi home runs in
90
00:04:27.879 --> 00:04:31.519
the same game since April twenty second of twenty twenty three.
91
00:04:31.959 --> 00:04:34.480
Mookie Betts, by the way, snapped his zero for twenty
92
00:04:34.519 --> 00:04:37.639
two hitless streak in a career long five game hitless
93
00:04:37.639 --> 00:04:40.120
streak with a double in the third inning last night.
94
00:04:40.160 --> 00:04:42.079
His single in the fifth inny minute his first multi
95
00:04:42.160 --> 00:04:44.879
hit game since July twenty ninth against the Reds, Andie
96
00:04:44.879 --> 00:04:47.639
Pie has got into the fun, recording two doubles last
97
00:04:47.720 --> 00:04:50.079
night for the second time this season. Dodgers win it
98
00:04:50.120 --> 00:04:53.000
twelve to six. Shoe Otani was two for four last
99
00:04:53.079 --> 00:04:56.399
night with a walk as the Dodgers did everything right offensively,
100
00:04:56.439 --> 00:04:58.600
and then Sheihan picks up the win, his third of
101
00:04:58.680 --> 00:05:01.639
this season as the Rodgers bulltep bullpen takes care of
102
00:05:01.639 --> 00:05:04.759
the final four innings of work. Dodgers now sixty six
103
00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:07.279
and forty eight on this season. Back at it today,
104
00:05:07.480 --> 00:05:10.519
day game after a night game and show hey Otani
105
00:05:10.600 --> 00:05:12.800
on the mound first pitcher one ten and with more,
106
00:05:12.959 --> 00:05:15.199
let's head out to the Galpin Motors Broadcast booth, as
107
00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:17.279
we say hello and good afternoon to Tim NEVERERT and
108
00:05:17.360 --> 00:05:17.879
Rick Monday.
109
00:05:17.920 --> 00:05:19.480
Guys, Tim, thanks very much.
110
00:05:19.480 --> 00:05:22.519
We've got a beautiful afternoon for baseball at Dodgers Stadium
111
00:05:22.600 --> 00:05:25.279
day game in the final game of this three game set.
112
00:05:25.279 --> 00:05:29.120
It's the rubber game winner. This wins the series. Dodgers winning.
113
00:05:29.160 --> 00:05:31.240
Last night, they broke out the bats. They were a
114
00:05:31.279 --> 00:05:34.720
little bit slow in recent days, but seventeen hits last night,
115
00:05:34.800 --> 00:05:37.839
twelve runs on the board, Monsey with two home runs,
116
00:05:38.040 --> 00:05:41.000
Tay Oscar with two home runs, Mookie Benz with three hits,
117
00:05:41.600 --> 00:05:45.480
and the hit parade was on. They had nine extra
118
00:05:45.560 --> 00:05:49.600
base hits in the ballgame two. The Dodgers just did
119
00:05:49.639 --> 00:05:52.920
whatever they needed to do offensively and got the job done.
120
00:05:53.120 --> 00:05:55.120
Had some decent pitching from mhg and two Yeah.
121
00:05:55.160 --> 00:05:58.040
Absolutely in five innings for She and two runs and
122
00:05:58.399 --> 00:06:01.519
none of those were earned. Did give up a home
123
00:06:01.639 --> 00:06:03.920
run after an air was made in that second ending,
124
00:06:03.959 --> 00:06:07.240
but walked only one batter and for San just gradually
125
00:06:07.240 --> 00:06:10.120
stretching things out and the workload also very light for
126
00:06:10.240 --> 00:06:12.519
the bullpen. Bullpen gave up a couple of runs, but
127
00:06:12.959 --> 00:06:14.839
the bullpen. If we start to look now the last
128
00:06:15.000 --> 00:06:18.959
ten games in particular, they have had a rather high workload.
129
00:06:19.000 --> 00:06:21.079
But boy, that have they answered the bell and just
130
00:06:21.120 --> 00:06:23.399
kind of shutting down the offense of the other ball club.
131
00:06:23.680 --> 00:06:26.279
Now today show hey Otani is on the mound. He's
132
00:06:26.319 --> 00:06:30.000
also leading off and his next hit will be his
133
00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:34.040
one thousandth career hit. So on milestone. Watch for show
134
00:06:34.079 --> 00:06:37.839
hey Otani, who is not homered in his last nine games.
135
00:06:37.839 --> 00:06:41.319
It's the second longest home run drought of the season,
136
00:06:41.399 --> 00:06:42.600
so he's due.
137
00:06:42.600 --> 00:06:45.519
And meanwhile, at the middle of the lineup, as you mentioned,
138
00:06:45.519 --> 00:06:49.480
I mean between Muncie and Tiasca Hernanez eight runs back
139
00:06:49.600 --> 00:06:53.279
in four home runs between them. Munsey will not be
140
00:06:53.319 --> 00:06:55.759
in the starting lineup. This was playing two games after
141
00:06:55.839 --> 00:06:57.560
coming off the injured list. So it's going to be
142
00:06:57.600 --> 00:07:00.720
Alex Freeland will be at third base. Alex call is
143
00:07:00.759 --> 00:07:03.759
going to get the chance in left field, Evil start
144
00:07:03.759 --> 00:07:06.639
at Miguel Rojas is at second base. Everything else kind
145
00:07:06.639 --> 00:07:08.800
of remains the same, he said. Will Smith back in
146
00:07:08.879 --> 00:07:11.639
there again doing the catching and batting in the three spot.
147
00:07:11.839 --> 00:07:14.120
A lot of right handers in the lineup against Matthew
148
00:07:14.199 --> 00:07:19.000
Libertor of the Cardinals. Cardinals, meantime had a scratch in
149
00:07:19.040 --> 00:07:22.680
the lineup. Wilson Contreras was originally sent to go. He
150
00:07:22.839 --> 00:07:26.759
was taken out. Jordan Walker replaces him to face show
151
00:07:26.800 --> 00:07:29.439
Hey Otani at least for the first four innings today.
152
00:07:29.920 --> 00:07:33.480
The Cardinals have lost twenty of their last thirty games.
153
00:07:33.759 --> 00:07:35.720
And this is a ball club mode that is looking
154
00:07:35.759 --> 00:07:38.480
at missing the playoffs for the third straight year. They're
155
00:07:38.519 --> 00:07:39.720
not used to that in Saint Lo No.
156
00:07:39.839 --> 00:07:41.839
And you start to look at the wild card teams
157
00:07:41.879 --> 00:07:44.399
and here we are on the sixth of August and
158
00:07:44.680 --> 00:07:47.639
the wild card teams, yeah, they play large. And for
159
00:07:47.680 --> 00:07:50.680
the Cardinals, they're six and a half back, so they
160
00:07:50.720 --> 00:07:53.920
need to try and hold on desperately and kind of
161
00:07:53.959 --> 00:07:56.759
turn the ship. They've won three of the five games
162
00:07:56.759 --> 00:07:58.800
this year against the Dodgers. Dodgers will like to win
163
00:07:58.879 --> 00:08:02.439
this one and start off with a series win before
164
00:08:02.480 --> 00:08:04.360
they have the off day tomorrow. And then the Toronto
165
00:08:04.399 --> 00:08:07.680
Blue Jays, a very good team and leading the Eastern
166
00:08:07.680 --> 00:08:10.000
Division of the America League that come in over the weekend.
167
00:08:10.439 --> 00:08:12.600
A lot of work on the field today for a
168
00:08:12.680 --> 00:08:15.720
day game. Lots of folks out working early. Hessan Kim
169
00:08:15.879 --> 00:08:18.480
was out taking ground balls. He's still on the injured list.
170
00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:22.120
He k Hernandez was doing some conditioning, and many of
171
00:08:22.160 --> 00:08:26.600
the pitchers were out throwing, including Clayton Kershaw and Blake Snell,
172
00:08:26.800 --> 00:08:30.319
Roki Sasaki and a couple of relievers throwing again on
173
00:08:30.399 --> 00:08:34.279
flat ground back to back days, Michael Kopek and Tanner Scott.
174
00:08:34.519 --> 00:08:36.559
Well, before we take the break, one thing too is
175
00:08:36.600 --> 00:08:38.320
if you look at this Dodger Balk club the last
176
00:08:38.360 --> 00:08:41.639
eleven games, the offense is starting to work on all
177
00:08:41.679 --> 00:08:44.240
the cylinders. Yes, Max Munsey is back on top of that,
178
00:08:44.480 --> 00:08:46.600
not in the lineup today as mentioned earlier, but the
179
00:08:46.679 --> 00:08:50.000
last eleven games, the Dodgers went opportunity to score runners
180
00:08:50.039 --> 00:08:53.440
in scoring position or hitting three nineteen. That's the plus sign.
181
00:08:53.519 --> 00:08:56.399
The other part, too, is they've shut down the opposing
182
00:08:56.440 --> 00:08:59.399
teams because over those eleven games they've allowed just a
183
00:08:59.440 --> 00:09:02.399
one night batting average against when they've had a chance
184
00:09:02.399 --> 00:09:03.240
to knock in a run.
185
00:09:03.360 --> 00:09:05.960
Dodgers looking to win the series, searching for win numbers
186
00:09:05.960 --> 00:09:09.200
sixty seven show, Hey Otani, we'll start on the mound.
187
00:09:09.240 --> 00:09:11.840
Matthew Librator will go for the Cardinals.
188
00:09:11.840 --> 00:09:13.679
Tim all right, thank you guys, as we count you
189

dive deeper into this pitching matchup with show Hey Otani
199
00:09:41.039 --> 00:09:43.759
on the mound. But up next your Otani Rewe and
200
00:09:44.279 --> 00:09:46.480
we'll go live to the field with Kirsten Watson from
201

00:09:49.759 --> 00:09:53.360
you up to Dodgers and Cardinals on this Wednesday afternoon.
203
00:09:53.440 --> 00:09:55.279
Thanks for being with us. I'm Tim kats Is, the
204
00:09:55.279 --> 00:09:58.159
world champion Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.
205
00:10:01.159 --> 00:10:06.360

for LA Dodgers Baseball.
207
00:10:09.240 --> 00:10:13.039
Dodgers and Cardinals on this Wednesday afternoon show. Hey Otani
208
00:10:13.039 --> 00:10:15.600
and Matthew libertore the pitching MATCHIP Dodgers going for the
209
00:10:15.639 --> 00:10:17.480
series win. First pitcher one ten.
210
00:10:18.399 --> 00:10:23.080
This is the Otani rewide one two has pelted in
211
00:10:23.120 --> 00:10:25.720
the right center field. That's a base hit and it's
212
00:10:25.759 --> 00:10:29.759
gonna force the right fielder Jordan Walker to go down
213
00:10:30.519 --> 00:10:33.639
and slide and stop it. And then gets Otani around
214
00:10:33.639 --> 00:10:37.200
first into second for his fifteenth double of the season.
215
00:10:37.679 --> 00:10:41.360
There goes Otani for second base and he's just gonna get.
216
00:10:41.159 --> 00:10:42.519
It for absolutely free.
217
00:10:42.559 --> 00:10:48.919
They didn't even try. He steals his sixteenth face oh
218
00:10:48.960 --> 00:10:51.679
two pitch to Otani. He swings hits it off the
219
00:10:51.759 --> 00:10:54.240
end of the match, slowly toward third. He's charging toward first.
220
00:10:54.399 --> 00:10:59.000
Gorman throws He's got no chance and show hey O'tani.
221
00:10:59.039 --> 00:11:02.720
With career nine hundred and ninety nine.
222
00:11:02.960 --> 00:11:06.279
He is getting close to one thousand. Could it be today?
223
00:11:06.399 --> 00:11:10.159
Last night, Showyotani two for four on base with three
224
00:11:10.200 --> 00:11:12.759
times including a walk. He had a stolen base number
225
00:11:12.799 --> 00:11:16.440
sixteen on the season. Now one hit shy of one
226
00:11:16.480 --> 00:11:19.279
thousand in his career. Could he do it today? He's
227
00:11:19.320 --> 00:11:22.440
on the mound, he's a designated hitter, and it's showey
228
00:11:22.440 --> 00:11:25.919
Otani Replica World Series at ring day and the Dodgers
229

and all the fans getting show Hey Otani World Series Rings.
238
00:11:54.159 --> 00:11:56.519
But what do we expect today at a show?
239
00:11:57.720 --> 00:11:57.919
Yeah?
240
00:11:57.960 --> 00:12:00.480
Well, first let me say the line in we should
241
00:12:00.480 --> 00:12:03.840
have known coming in Dodger Stadium honestly at like nine
242
00:12:03.840 --> 00:12:06.559
p thirty this morning. Line all the way down the hill,
243
00:12:06.679 --> 00:12:08.679
because what more could you ask for a show? Hen
244
00:12:08.759 --> 00:12:11.399
Toney World Series Rings plus at the start day and
245
00:12:11.519 --> 00:12:13.759
he's the thh I thought. I feel like a dream
246
00:12:13.759 --> 00:12:15.799
come troup for so many fans, especially when it comes
247
00:12:15.840 --> 00:12:18.360
to a giveaway. But like you said, for show Hairshani
248
00:12:18.440 --> 00:12:20.759
to plan for him is going to be four innings.
249
00:12:20.759 --> 00:12:23.320
We know in his last outing he wasn't able to
250
00:12:23.559 --> 00:12:25.039
the whole plan was per porning to that one, but
251
00:12:25.080 --> 00:12:27.159
he wasn't able to get through four. He got into
252
00:12:27.159 --> 00:12:29.480
the fourth, but he was stilling with some cramping and
253
00:12:29.519 --> 00:12:32.159
his hip and so the stuff just wasn't there. He
254
00:12:32.240 --> 00:12:35.639
wasn't as effective walking guys things like that. So when
255
00:12:35.639 --> 00:12:37.879
he came out of that game, though, he's as much
256
00:12:37.919 --> 00:12:39.679
as he wasn't able to get through four, and he
257
00:12:39.720 --> 00:12:41.759
said work, he did still feel good about just where
258
00:12:41.759 --> 00:12:43.720
the pitch count was at. He was at fifty three
259
00:12:43.720 --> 00:12:46.399
pitches and that's the most he has thrown this far
260
00:12:46.639 --> 00:12:49.279
this year. So for today, Dave was just saying the
261
00:12:49.360 --> 00:12:52.240
cramping has subsided. He feels good. Obviously, you saw him
262
00:12:52.279 --> 00:12:54.720
as the DH all of these games in between the
263
00:12:54.840 --> 00:12:57.440
start dats, so hopefully he can just kind of continue
264
00:12:57.480 --> 00:12:59.120
to get things going pitching wise.
265
00:12:59.200 --> 00:13:00.000
But he feels good.
266
00:13:00.519 --> 00:13:03.240
Hey, hopefully you'll put on a show for literally his
267
00:13:03.440 --> 00:13:04.080
day today.
268
00:13:04.240 --> 00:13:07.240
Yeah, it is all about show, hey, Otani. Today. Last
269
00:13:07.279 --> 00:13:10.480
night it was all about the offense. Kirston the Dodgers
270
00:13:10.480 --> 00:13:14.559
scored twelve runs on seventeen hits. He got multiple home
271
00:13:14.600 --> 00:13:18.519
run games from Max Munsey and ta Oscar Hernandez. Hopefully
272
00:13:18.759 --> 00:13:20.600
they saved some of that offense for today.
273
00:13:21.799 --> 00:13:23.799
Yeah, honestly, but you know what, when you have a
274
00:13:23.840 --> 00:13:26.600
game like that, there is something too. It's just been
275
00:13:26.679 --> 00:13:29.600
like the confidence kicking back in. We've seen guys who
276
00:13:29.600 --> 00:13:32.240
have been grinding as of late, whether it's Nicky Bets,
277
00:13:32.279 --> 00:13:34.960
whether it's the other guys I've been down the line up,
278
00:13:35.080 --> 00:13:37.519
but we've seen Freddy Freeman get back on track. He's
279
00:13:37.559 --> 00:13:40.919
been excellent for Taoskar Heranda to have a game like yesterday,
280
00:13:40.919 --> 00:13:43.000
for Max Month to pick up where he left off
281
00:13:43.120 --> 00:13:46.360
free in three knee injuries. You know, those moments are
282
00:13:46.480 --> 00:13:49.000
huge for just continuing to feel confidence in guys, and
283
00:13:49.039 --> 00:13:51.679
even to someone like Luky Bets, we have been talking
284
00:13:51.679 --> 00:13:54.320
about just the grind that he has been going through
285
00:13:54.360 --> 00:13:56.639
and how you know, even last night when he spokes
286
00:13:56.639 --> 00:13:58.519
to the media, he was like, well, you know, last
287
00:13:58.519 --> 00:14:00.399
time we had this conversation, he went do it for
288
00:14:00.480 --> 00:14:03.480
twenty and he doesn't necessarily know if something is different,
289
00:14:03.559 --> 00:14:06.559
but how just whether his teammates are seeing him, how
290
00:14:06.639 --> 00:14:09.440
Dave Roberts is seeing him, the smile that he had yesterday,
291
00:14:09.759 --> 00:14:13.320
it does seem like something is starting to click. So
292
00:14:13.360 --> 00:14:15.480
the hope is that he can also just carry that
293
00:14:15.519 --> 00:14:17.639
over into this one. They obviously want to give some
294
00:14:17.679 --> 00:14:20.480
more run support. But when you're seeing the one two
295
00:14:20.519 --> 00:14:22.679
punch of Max and tayot the top of the order
296
00:14:22.720 --> 00:14:25.679
getting going, it does feel like things right now are
297
00:14:25.720 --> 00:14:28.360
turning a corner and the offense is getting going. So
298
00:14:28.480 --> 00:14:31.120
now we just want to see that consistency with the offense,
299
00:14:31.159 --> 00:14:32.120
not the up and down.
300
00:14:32.279 --> 00:14:34.279
Yeah, let's do it again today and then do it
301
00:14:34.320 --> 00:14:37.080
again on Friday, and then keep it going with the offense. Kirsten,
302
00:14:37.120 --> 00:14:39.320
we appreciate it. We'll check you out on Sports in NLA.
303
00:14:39.360 --> 00:14:41.519
Still to come here on Moroco Casino Dodgers on Deck.
304
00:14:41.639 --> 00:14:43.639
We'll hear from David Vass. He goes one on one
305
00:14:43.679 --> 00:14:46.039
with Alex Freeland. But up next we get you an
306
00:14:46.080 --> 00:14:48.759
injury report and we hear from the manager, Dave Roberts.
307
00:14:49.039 --> 00:14:51.440

up to first pitch Dodgers and the Cardinals Moronco Casino
314
00:15:16.960 --> 00:15:19.639
Resort in Spa, A Grand Slam for a good time show.
315
00:15:19.639 --> 00:15:22.639
Hey o Tani and Matthew Libertore. The pitching matchup, first
316
00:15:22.639 --> 00:15:28.440
pitch coming up at one Ten's the LA Dodgers Injury
317
00:15:28.559 --> 00:15:31.720
Report presented by UCLA Healthy, Official Medical partner of the
318
00:15:31.720 --> 00:15:34.440
Los Angeles Dodgers. Kirby Yates on the iel with lower
319
00:15:34.440 --> 00:15:37.679
back pain, Tanner Scott on the IL with lower forearm soreness.
320
00:15:37.720 --> 00:15:39.799
More on that coming up with David vet Say Keiky
321
00:15:39.840 --> 00:15:44.480
Hernandez actually got some good news. He is left elbow soreness,
322
00:15:44.559 --> 00:15:46.720
is feeling a lot better. He's doing some base running
323
00:15:46.720 --> 00:15:49.240
and starting to do more and more baseball activities. That
324
00:15:49.360 --> 00:15:53.200
is great news. Roki Sasaki Michael Kopek also trending in
325
00:15:53.240 --> 00:15:56.200
the right directions to return. Speaking of return, let's return
326
00:15:56.240 --> 00:15:58.399
out to the ravine and checking with the Dodgers skipper.
327
00:15:58.879 --> 00:15:59.399
Anything else for.
328
00:16:01.000 --> 00:16:03.879
Questions for Dave, Dave, can you just describe Dave?
329
00:16:03.960 --> 00:16:05.759
Can you talk about the pressure.
330
00:16:06.200 --> 00:16:08.679
In the dugouts with Dave Robberts?
331
00:16:09.480 --> 00:16:11.240
Yay? Dave.
332
00:16:11.879 --> 00:16:15.240
How's Otani feeling coming into this start? Obviously the last
333
00:16:15.240 --> 00:16:17.600
time he had to come out with right hip, cram Sev.
334
00:16:17.840 --> 00:16:19.960
What are the reports you've gotten leading up to today?
335
00:16:20.919 --> 00:16:24.960
Up today, he feels good. I haven't heard anything as
336
00:16:25.000 --> 00:16:30.360
far as any kind of carryover from Cincinnati. Obviously he's
337
00:16:30.399 --> 00:16:34.720
played every day. As far as hitting, running well, I
338
00:16:34.720 --> 00:16:37.440
think it's going to be a full fore innings and
339
00:16:37.720 --> 00:16:38.399
we'll go from there.
340
00:16:38.759 --> 00:16:41.080
What have you seen as far as the evolution of
341
00:16:41.159 --> 00:16:44.159
him from the first start he made to where he's
342
00:16:44.200 --> 00:16:45.320
stretched out to now?
343
00:16:46.879 --> 00:16:50.240
You know, I think the last one is a hard
344
00:16:50.279 --> 00:16:53.399
one to gauge, given the cramps that he was going through,
345
00:16:53.480 --> 00:17:00.480
But I think overall, the command is better. I think
346
00:17:00.519 --> 00:17:06.039
he feels good using his entire pitch mix. I like
347
00:17:06.160 --> 00:17:11.480
seeing him stretched out obviously, and we're seeing more edge.
348
00:17:11.640 --> 00:17:13.480
I think we show Hey, that's the one thing I
349
00:17:13.559 --> 00:17:17.680
really stands out, is it when he pitches, he transforms
350
00:17:17.680 --> 00:17:22.240
into a different type of person player As far as
351
00:17:22.359 --> 00:17:23.279
kind of the mindset.
352
00:17:23.839 --> 00:17:26.440
Obviously, you weren't around when the Angels out throwing the
353
00:17:26.480 --> 00:17:29.160
splitter as much that that sort of tied to the
354
00:17:29.200 --> 00:17:30.200
past elbow.
355
00:17:29.880 --> 00:17:32.680
Stuff with him. You know, I don't know that answer.
356
00:17:33.559 --> 00:17:35.920
I know there's some more two seamers in there, which
357
00:17:36.000 --> 00:17:38.880
sort of just trying to have something with depth. I
358
00:17:38.960 --> 00:17:41.480
know there's a sweeper in there, but yeah, I don't
359
00:17:41.519 --> 00:17:42.079
know that answer.
360
00:17:42.240 --> 00:17:45.119
Yeah, all right, there's the manager Dave Roberts pre game
361
00:17:45.240 --> 00:17:47.200
with the media just a few minutes ago, and we
362
00:17:47.279 --> 00:17:50.079
continue here on Marongo Casino Dodges on Deck. We'll check
363
00:17:50.160 --> 00:17:53.240
in with the David Van Say he leaves out the
364
00:17:53.319 --> 00:17:57.240
first pitch Dodgers and Cardinals show. Hey, o toany on
365
00:17:57.319 --> 00:17:59.960
the mount first pitch at one ten. I'm tim kay,
366
00:18:00.000 --> 00:18:02.680
this is a world champion Los Angeles Dodgers audio.
367
00:18:02.480 --> 00:18:02.680
Know it.
368
00:18:05.759 --> 00:18:06.880
As we were saying.
369
00:18:07.359 --> 00:18:12.200
This is Marongo Casino Dodgers on tack on the official
370
00:18:12.279 --> 00:18:14.559
home of La Dodgers Baseball.
371
00:18:15.960 --> 00:18:18.920
It's a Dodgers and the Saint Louis Cardinals on this
372
00:18:19.200 --> 00:18:23.079
Wednesday afternoon show. Hey Otani and Matthew libertore the pitching
373
00:18:23.119 --> 00:18:26.680
matchup First Pitching Dodger Stadium is coming up at one ten.
374
00:18:28.680 --> 00:18:31.119
Joining Tim Kats on Dodgers on Deck.
375
00:18:31.200 --> 00:18:32.960
I accept everybody for who they are.
376
00:18:33.079 --> 00:18:36.599
This is Dodger insider David Basse.
377
00:18:37.079 --> 00:18:39.640
And David now joins us from the stadium. It's a
378
00:18:39.720 --> 00:18:43.319
one o'clock first pitch with Sho Hey Otani on the mound.
379
00:18:43.400 --> 00:18:46.640
More on that in a second. Last night, Mookie bets David,
380
00:18:47.000 --> 00:18:49.000
has he come out of his funk? Now?
381
00:18:49.480 --> 00:18:52.759
Well, MOOKI had a really good one game on the
382
00:18:52.839 --> 00:18:55.480
road trip in Cincinnati and then the rest of it
383
00:18:55.519 --> 00:18:59.200
started to go down a slide. Last night, Mookie Bets
384
00:18:59.240 --> 00:19:02.799
snapped an for twenty two hitless streak and had three
385
00:19:02.920 --> 00:19:05.480
hits scored three times. He had a double in front
386
00:19:05.519 --> 00:19:10.079
of Max Munsey's two run home run, and Mookie talked
387
00:19:10.079 --> 00:19:14.400
about the Dodger fans showing him support the last two nights.
388
00:19:14.720 --> 00:19:17.079
It's been a beautiful thing, and so I thank you
389
00:19:17.519 --> 00:19:21.039
to all the Dodger fans that have you know, just
390
00:19:21.079 --> 00:19:23.559
getting that, Oh, I wouldn't call it elevation, but whatever
391
00:19:23.599 --> 00:19:27.279
it is, it's super special. It's the first time I've
392
00:19:27.279 --> 00:19:31.559
ever gotten anything like that, So obviously I would prefer
393
00:19:31.680 --> 00:19:34.559
not to. But you know, if I'm in this situation
394
00:19:34.640 --> 00:19:36.599
and I know that a Dodger stadium is behind me,
395
00:19:37.480 --> 00:19:39.880
there's a it's just a good thing to know that
396
00:19:39.920 --> 00:19:40.759
you're you're supported.
397
00:19:41.079 --> 00:19:43.640
So I guess, like Mookie says, you're only as good
398
00:19:43.759 --> 00:19:46.400
as your last game. Every time he believes he's turned
399
00:19:46.400 --> 00:19:49.440
the corner, he starts to go down into another slump.
400
00:19:49.559 --> 00:19:52.400
Today is important for Mookie to get results back to
401
00:19:52.480 --> 00:19:55.359
back games, something that we haven't seen in quite some time.
402
00:19:55.440 --> 00:19:58.000
Tim David is brought to you by the twenty twenty
403
00:19:58.000 --> 00:20:00.279
five four f one to fifty from California's best selling
404
00:20:00.279 --> 00:20:02.519
truck brand. It's time to see Ford in a new light.
405
00:20:02.599 --> 00:20:06.319
Ford for America from America. All right, shoe Aotani on
406
00:20:06.359 --> 00:20:08.400
the mount Last time he was on the mountain, David,
407
00:20:08.400 --> 00:20:10.480
he had to come out of the game in Cincinnati
408
00:20:10.759 --> 00:20:11.759
with the hip.
409
00:20:11.960 --> 00:20:15.480
Yeah, the right hip started to cramp on him. In Cincinnati.
410
00:20:15.559 --> 00:20:17.920
It was hot and humid. Obviously it's going to be
411
00:20:17.960 --> 00:20:21.559
a warm day. It's already warm here at Dodger Stadium.
412
00:20:21.559 --> 00:20:24.000
But you would imagine that he'll be able to handle it.
413
00:20:24.599 --> 00:20:28.599
I have not observed him skipping any throwing going back
414
00:20:28.640 --> 00:20:31.920
to Tampa where it was really hot, so he hasn't
415
00:20:32.079 --> 00:20:35.759
changed his throwing program to get ready for this start today.
416
00:20:36.000 --> 00:20:38.720
And you would imagine now Dave Roberts has said no
417
00:20:38.880 --> 00:20:43.599
more piggybacking, but Justin Robleski is in the Dodger bullpen
418
00:20:43.720 --> 00:20:45.359
and also on standby.
419
00:20:45.799 --> 00:20:49.319
David will Smith is having himself a really good season.
420
00:20:49.359 --> 00:20:51.799
We hear about Freddy Freeman, how great of a hitter
421
00:20:51.880 --> 00:20:54.640
he is, and his batting average always over three hundred
422
00:20:54.640 --> 00:20:59.799
in his career. Will Smith, though quietly having an MVP season.
423
00:20:59.839 --> 00:21:03.000
He really is tim right now as we start this game.
424
00:21:03.119 --> 00:21:06.079
He is not a qualified hitter for the batting title
425
00:21:06.160 --> 00:21:09.240
because the Dodgers that are giving him more days off
426
00:21:09.279 --> 00:21:11.319
than he has had in any of the last three
427
00:21:11.400 --> 00:21:14.559
or four years. But he just needs five more plate
428
00:21:14.559 --> 00:21:18.519
appearances today to qualify. Again, he seems to qualify than
429
00:21:18.599 --> 00:21:22.240
when he sits out. Is not qualified for the batting title.
430
00:21:22.319 --> 00:21:26.559
But the reality is when Will Smith is not starting
431
00:21:27.039 --> 00:21:30.839
in a game, the Dodgers are just eleven and seventeen.
432
00:21:31.160 --> 00:21:33.759
Last night they got a rare win without Will Smith
433
00:21:33.759 --> 00:21:36.680
in the starting lineup. He's hitting three twenty one. He's
434
00:21:36.839 --> 00:21:39.359
one of the best hitters with runners in scoring position.
435
00:21:39.880 --> 00:21:43.359
And everybody's talking about Schwarber and Pete Crow, Armstrong and
436
00:21:43.440 --> 00:21:47.160
sho Hey Otani, and rightfully so. But Will Smith certainly
437
00:21:47.279 --> 00:21:49.359
right now should be in the conversation as one of
438
00:21:49.359 --> 00:21:52.640
the top five most valuable players in the National League.
439
00:21:52.799 --> 00:21:55.640
David is Dodgers team getting healthy. We've been talking about
440
00:21:55.640 --> 00:21:58.279
it for weeks. Guys are starting to trickle back. Bullpen
441
00:21:58.440 --> 00:22:01.839
help starting help Max. He's back in third base and
442
00:22:01.920 --> 00:22:04.279
the bullpen. It looks like it could be getting even
443
00:22:04.400 --> 00:22:05.720
healthier here on the horizon.
444
00:22:05.799 --> 00:22:09.039
Right Yeah, this morning Michael Kopek and Tanner Scott were
445
00:22:09.039 --> 00:22:11.960
throwing off flat ground. They have lockers right next to
446
00:22:12.039 --> 00:22:16.240
each other, and they both told me yesterday simultaneously, we
447
00:22:16.319 --> 00:22:18.759
don't know what else we have to do to pitch,
448
00:22:19.160 --> 00:22:21.599
but I guess the Dodgers want them to check a
449
00:22:21.640 --> 00:22:25.279
couple of more boxes. Tanner Scott has thrown two bullpen
450
00:22:25.400 --> 00:22:28.839
sessions in the last handful of days. They're both ready
451
00:22:28.880 --> 00:22:32.119
to go sometimes. Dave Roberts, you know, obviously always protecting
452
00:22:32.160 --> 00:22:37.000
his players overplays just how they're feeling. But he's spot
453
00:22:37.039 --> 00:22:39.519
on when he said both of them are chumping at
454
00:22:39.559 --> 00:22:42.400
the bit to get back into pitch. So uh, they're
455
00:22:42.480 --> 00:22:45.079
ready to go whenever the Dodgers want to release. The
456
00:22:45.160 --> 00:22:46.480
dogs love it.
457
00:22:46.519 --> 00:22:48.559
The Dodgers need some more help in that bullpen, and
458
00:22:48.599 --> 00:22:50.400
it is coming soon. They can. Devil will check in
459
00:22:50.440 --> 00:22:51.720

We go back to August seventh, twenty nineteen, pre COVID,
477
00:23:55.000 --> 00:23:57.839
a different world. Back then, Dodgers taking on the Cardinals.
478
00:23:58.319 --> 00:24:04.680
Russell Martin hit a huge walk off single for the Dodgers.
479

And to the Martin brown ball up the middle in
480

This time it's Russell Martin, the hero, great expectations impending doom.

508
00:25:47.960 --> 00:25:50.440
Rick the Dodgers trying to win another series. They won
509
00:25:50.480 --> 00:25:52.880
the final two on the road trip today is important
510
00:25:52.880 --> 00:25:53.720
for the Dodgers.
511
00:25:53.799 --> 00:25:56.880
Well, you know you're the I can't say instigator, you
512
00:25:56.920 --> 00:26:00.559
are the director. I should say emotion because the other
513
00:26:00.640 --> 00:26:02.400
night you were talking about, Hey, look when Molkey Bets
514
00:26:02.400 --> 00:26:05.000
comes back into town the first game back off the
515
00:26:05.079 --> 00:26:08.240
road trip standing ovation right, Well it didn't work that night,
516
00:26:08.279 --> 00:26:11.519
but it worked last night. And welcome back Mooky Bets,
517
00:26:11.839 --> 00:26:14.519
Welcome back Power Dodgers with four home runs in last
518
00:26:14.559 --> 00:26:17.920
night's ballgame, and welcome back to Max Munsey only a
519
00:26:18.000 --> 00:26:21.079
second game back off the injury list. Two home runs. Monsey,
520
00:26:21.160 --> 00:26:23.759
by the way, knocked in four runs and the guy
521
00:26:23.839 --> 00:26:26.359
right behind him, Dasker her And is also with a
522
00:26:26.359 --> 00:26:30.000
couple of home runs he knocked in for himself. So
523
00:26:30.079 --> 00:26:33.119
the offense really scattered around two guys.
524
00:26:33.440 --> 00:26:33.599
Rick.
525
00:26:33.680 --> 00:26:36.200
I'm not sure if you noticed, but I'm an emotional guy.
526
00:26:36.519 --> 00:26:38.799
Yeah, yeah, I noticed that, Yeah very much.
527
00:26:38.839 --> 00:26:38.920
So.
528
00:26:39.400 --> 00:26:42.359
Yeah, did I overstate things on an emotional night? For
529
00:26:42.440 --> 00:26:45.599
Max months he may be the glue of this Dodger offense.
530
00:26:45.640 --> 00:26:47.599
No, it was a good night overall, not only seeing
531
00:26:47.599 --> 00:26:51.079
the ball game here in the reaction to crowd, but
532
00:26:51.519 --> 00:26:53.519
just listening to some of your callers on the post
533
00:26:53.519 --> 00:26:55.960
game Dodger talk that worked out well. You and I
534
00:26:56.039 --> 00:26:57.599
were having some fun a minute ago, and I just
535
00:26:57.640 --> 00:26:59.119
threw something at you, and I said, who was the
536
00:26:59.119 --> 00:27:01.200
only picture that won at least five hundred games in
537
00:27:01.240 --> 00:27:04.519
his major league career that never won the Cy Young Award?
538
00:27:05.480 --> 00:27:06.039
Cy Young?
539
00:27:07.640 --> 00:27:09.759
Is that one of those unwritten baseball rules?
540
00:27:09.839 --> 00:27:13.359
No, no, it's not. But there's weird things that then happened.
541
00:27:13.400 --> 00:27:15.759
How about on this date nineteen o eight, Ty Cobb
542
00:27:17.079 --> 00:27:19.839
decided to get married. He left the ball club for
543
00:27:19.880 --> 00:27:22.359
six days, never told the club he was going to
544
00:27:22.359 --> 00:27:25.880
be leaving, and the co owner of the team was
545
00:27:25.920 --> 00:27:28.039
not real happy. He say, is the most arrogant act
546
00:27:28.079 --> 00:27:29.920
he'd ever heard of his baseball career.
547
00:27:30.359 --> 00:27:32.119
That seems on brand for Ty Cobb.
548
00:27:32.240 --> 00:27:35.519
Yeah, yeah, he was. Yeah, he was not warm and fuzzy.
549
00:27:36.039 --> 00:27:38.119
No he wasn't. No, But the Dodgers have a lot
550
00:27:38.119 --> 00:27:40.839
of type of those guys. I mean, Freddie Freeman's the
551
00:27:40.839 --> 00:27:44.200
first Dodger player on the field earlier this morning getting
552
00:27:44.240 --> 00:27:44.960
ready for the game.
553
00:27:45.039 --> 00:27:47.559
And Freddy knocked in two runs also last night, not
554
00:27:47.599 --> 00:27:50.920
to be overlooked, both with the sacrifice flies I mentioned
555
00:27:50.960 --> 00:27:53.039
also last night, and we'll talk about it on the
556
00:27:53.039 --> 00:27:55.799
pregame show as well in a couple of different spots,
557
00:27:55.799 --> 00:27:58.839
and probably in the game too. The Dodgers in their
558
00:27:58.880 --> 00:28:03.559
pitching has been and really consistent because if you start
559
00:28:03.599 --> 00:28:06.559
to look now in the last ten games and then
560
00:28:06.599 --> 00:28:08.880
now you can carry it over unto eleven games as well,
561
00:28:09.279 --> 00:28:12.960
you know, their collective vra is barely above two point six,
562
00:28:13.400 --> 00:28:15.839
so they're really doing the job. And finally the offense
563
00:28:15.880 --> 00:28:20.079
got on track last night. That's very refreshing. The defense
564
00:28:20.160 --> 00:28:22.920
has been kind of iffy on the road trip, but
565
00:28:23.160 --> 00:28:25.640
that played large as well last night. So hopefully this
566
00:28:25.759 --> 00:28:29.440
is something to turn around. I think from a player standpoint, David,
567
00:28:29.799 --> 00:28:32.799
when you begin to get players healthy and we're talking
568
00:28:32.839 --> 00:28:36.079
about main cogs in the big wheel of the Dodgers,
569
00:28:36.119 --> 00:28:39.599
you're getting guys healthy back Monci the most recent. We
570
00:28:39.640 --> 00:28:42.119
look at Snow, we look at Glasnow, some other guys
571
00:28:42.200 --> 00:28:45.480
are getting closer and closer. I think that really boosts
572
00:28:45.519 --> 00:28:47.160
up the morale of a team.
573
00:28:47.400 --> 00:28:50.400
And even though he hasn't gone on the il since May,
574
00:28:50.640 --> 00:28:54.400
you hope ta Oscar Hernandez has found something and is
575
00:28:54.480 --> 00:28:56.359
more comfortable physically.
576
00:28:56.559 --> 00:28:59.359
Yeah, And what we have not seen the last couple
577
00:28:59.400 --> 00:29:02.599
of days with the Tascar Hernandez he has not expanded
578
00:29:02.599 --> 00:29:05.559
the strike zone because that was one of the problems
579
00:29:05.599 --> 00:29:07.920
he was having, in particular with the slider, which the
580
00:29:07.920 --> 00:29:09.799
slider is not an easy pitch to hit. He's not
581
00:29:09.839 --> 00:29:12.720
the only one who's had difficulty with sliders. Everybody And
582
00:29:12.720 --> 00:29:15.279
if you look at Major League Baseball on the batting
583
00:29:15.319 --> 00:29:19.599
averages against, if you're listing different pitches, the slider is
584
00:29:19.640 --> 00:29:21.319
going to be on the bottom part of the totem
585
00:29:21.319 --> 00:29:24.200
pole as far as good averages against it. It's a
586
00:29:24.200 --> 00:29:25.640
tough pitch if you have a good slider.
587
00:29:25.799 --> 00:29:27.559
I mean, at this point in time in the season.
588
00:29:27.640 --> 00:29:30.880
Rake ta Oscar alluded to this after the game last night.
589
00:29:31.559 --> 00:29:35.079
The voices are getting louder where guys that the Dodgers
590
00:29:35.079 --> 00:29:37.680
are counting on need to start stepping.
591
00:29:37.440 --> 00:29:41.759
Up, and the importance of games is getting bigger and
592
00:29:41.839 --> 00:29:44.640
bigger as well, because you know, you start to look
593
00:29:44.680 --> 00:29:49.000
at what's going on. There are now what forty eight
594
00:29:49.079 --> 00:29:52.519
games left, that's amazing in the regular schedule, somewhere right
595
00:29:52.559 --> 00:29:55.759
around forty eight forty nine, and there's only now fifty
596
00:29:55.799 --> 00:29:59.400
five days left in the season. So you know, this
597
00:29:59.480 --> 00:30:02.559
is this is coming down to crunch time. The pondres
598
00:30:02.599 --> 00:30:05.680
are not going away in the Western Division, and you know,
599
00:30:05.720 --> 00:30:08.119
the Dodgers have been able to maintain that lead for
600
00:30:08.160 --> 00:30:11.359
a considerable period of time, but there is still a
601
00:30:11.480 --> 00:30:14.680
nocean to swim before the season really comes to a completion.
602
00:30:14.960 --> 00:30:18.440
That's why it's important to win another series. Today's that day, Rick.
603
00:30:18.400 --> 00:30:21.480
Yeah, well you're doing dual dual purpose today radio.
604
00:30:21.240 --> 00:30:23.680
And TV emotional on a simulcast.
605
00:30:23.839 --> 00:30:25.960
Oh yeah, absolutely, stay cool out there.
606
00:30:26.000 --> 00:30:28.240
By the way, thanks for the help, Rick, appreciate it.
607
00:30:28.279 --> 00:30:29.640
We'll send it back to you in the studio.
608
00:30:29.720 --> 00:30:32.279
Tim All right, thank you, dB, Thank you Bo. That's
609
00:30:32.319 --> 00:30:34.839
the Dodgers' game plan. What's your game plan, Dodger fans?

00:30:34.920 --> 00:30:38.079

00:30:43.599 --> 00:30:45.519
just a few weeks, time to take that next big step.

Classes can build quickly, so enroll today and I can
615
00:30:48.440 --> 00:30:50.160

at Shaky's dot Com day.
631
00:31:37.720 --> 00:31:41.440
And now what will likely be vassy fielding insults from
632
00:31:41.480 --> 00:31:42.359
a Dodger player.
633
00:31:42.440 --> 00:31:43.640
It's an engagement of endearment.
634
00:31:43.759 --> 00:31:47.960
This is high and tugged all right. He's here in
635
00:31:48.039 --> 00:31:50.319
the living flesh, having a great time at the big
636
00:31:50.400 --> 00:31:53.079
league level and doing whatever the Dodgers need. That's the
637
00:31:53.079 --> 00:31:57.039
one and only mullet Mustache himself. Alex Freeland, thanks a
638
00:31:57.039 --> 00:31:57.759
lot for the time.
639
00:31:58.079 --> 00:32:00.359
Thank you for having me on. Thank you man.
640
00:32:00.680 --> 00:32:02.640
I'm glad to share you with the fans because I
641
00:32:02.680 --> 00:32:05.400
know you're having a blast whether you're in Oklahoma City,
642
00:32:05.400 --> 00:32:08.519
but it's I'm sure a lot more special doing it here.
643
00:32:08.799 --> 00:32:11.880
Yeah, a lot more special, a lot more fun. There's
644
00:32:11.920 --> 00:32:14.519
no place like this, So I'm taking in every moment.
645
00:32:14.680 --> 00:32:17.160
How have you been able to just stay grounded and
646
00:32:17.240 --> 00:32:18.799
not be overwhelmed by all this?
647
00:32:19.400 --> 00:32:21.680
I mean, there's a lot going on already. I don't
648
00:32:21.839 --> 00:32:23.759
I don't think I need to add anything to it,
649
00:32:23.799 --> 00:32:25.759
and so I just go out there and keep it,
650
00:32:25.960 --> 00:32:27.960
keep it baseball, and just play.
651
00:32:28.680 --> 00:32:31.759
So so far in your first week in Major league baseball,
652
00:32:31.880 --> 00:32:35.039
You've got your first hit from both sides of the plate.
653
00:32:35.240 --> 00:32:38.680
You've driven in your first run, You've have two. You
654
00:32:38.720 --> 00:32:41.839
played behind Clayton Kershaw on the road trip and today
655
00:32:42.079 --> 00:32:44.480
you're gonna play behind showe. Hey o, tany, that's quite
656
00:32:44.519 --> 00:32:45.000
a week.
657
00:32:45.319 --> 00:32:45.559
Yeah.
658
00:32:45.920 --> 00:32:48.279
My debut was with Shoe on the mountain Sancy, so
659
00:32:48.359 --> 00:32:51.119
it was pretty cool. Hopefully I can make up for
660
00:32:51.240 --> 00:32:53.759
that miss ball that I had and then we'll be
661
00:32:53.880 --> 00:32:56.319
on we'll be on talking terms again.
662
00:32:56.559 --> 00:32:56.759
Yeah.
663
00:32:56.799 --> 00:32:58.079
Does he Does he know your name?
664
00:32:59.079 --> 00:33:00.799
I don't know, Ask him? Ask him.
665
00:33:02.319 --> 00:33:05.279
Alex Freeland is our guest. Alex. I feel like in
666
00:33:05.359 --> 00:33:08.720
some points you're somewhat of an inspiration for young people
667
00:33:08.759 --> 00:33:11.440
that have to overcome a lot. For those that don't know,
668
00:33:11.519 --> 00:33:14.720
Alex was born with the club right foot. I know
669
00:33:14.880 --> 00:33:17.400
you don't focus on it. You've overcome it, you're a
670
00:33:17.440 --> 00:33:19.920
major league player, But do you feel like you're an
671
00:33:19.960 --> 00:33:21.400
inspiration for young kids.
672
00:33:22.279 --> 00:33:24.839
I've definitely had some people reach out to me and
673
00:33:24.839 --> 00:33:27.559
and and give me some kind words and say that
674
00:33:27.559 --> 00:33:33.000
they're very inspirational. I mean, just my message to to
675
00:33:33.160 --> 00:33:35.640
any kid out there that has to overcomes them, it's
676
00:33:35.680 --> 00:33:36.559
not impossible.
677
00:33:38.400 --> 00:33:40.279
You know, you just gotta you gotta get to the top.
678
00:33:40.160 --> 00:33:42.880
Of the mountain and you can ride ride it on down,
679
00:33:43.960 --> 00:33:45.880
but just keep going, putting one foot in front of
680
00:33:45.880 --> 00:33:48.240
the other and just keep going.
681
00:33:48.440 --> 00:33:50.519
How many surgeries did you have to have on that
682
00:33:50.599 --> 00:33:51.279
right foot?
683
00:33:51.559 --> 00:33:54.400
I think I had one full foot reconstruction and then
684
00:33:55.000 --> 00:33:57.480
one other minor uh.
685
00:33:57.200 --> 00:33:59.119
Surgery to put like a couple of screws in. But
686
00:33:59.319 --> 00:34:00.000
that was about it.
687
00:34:00.200 --> 00:34:03.279
When did you know that this dream could be realized?
688
00:34:04.480 --> 00:34:06.559
I mean I always thought about it, like growing up
689
00:34:06.559 --> 00:34:08.199
as a kid, like this is the only thing that
690
00:34:08.239 --> 00:34:10.920
I ever wanted to do is to play major League baseball.
691
00:34:11.400 --> 00:34:15.159
I think around uh, like high school.
692
00:34:15.000 --> 00:34:18.559
Like my junior senior year, it became like a reality
693
00:34:18.599 --> 00:34:20.480
in some sense, like where I was like, yeah, like
694
00:34:20.519 --> 00:34:21.440
maybe I can do this.
695
00:34:22.440 --> 00:34:23.760
So not around that time.
696
00:34:24.039 --> 00:34:26.840
I know you're a fun loving guy. Your teammates love you,
697
00:34:26.960 --> 00:34:31.599
whether it's okay see Tulsa Dodger Stadium. But from what
698
00:34:31.719 --> 00:34:36.599
coaches told me, you're very detail oriented. Do people mistaken
699
00:34:37.079 --> 00:34:40.559
your outward personality for just how serious you take it?
700
00:34:41.000 --> 00:34:43.760
I mean, I'm I definitely have an outward personality like
701
00:34:43.840 --> 00:34:45.960
in the clubhouse and on the field, but like when
702
00:34:46.000 --> 00:34:48.119
it's time to do my work, like I'm gonna be
703
00:34:48.199 --> 00:34:51.599
focused and I'm very I'm very detail oriented, Like I
704
00:34:51.920 --> 00:34:55.679
take it serious, like this this is yes, it's it's
705
00:34:55.800 --> 00:34:56.920
a game that we get to play.
706
00:34:57.000 --> 00:34:58.159
But it's my job.
707
00:34:58.519 --> 00:35:00.639
So I'm gonna try and get better every day and
708
00:35:00.840 --> 00:35:01.880
take that work serious.
709
00:35:02.199 --> 00:35:04.920
What are the details? Is it trying to pick up
710
00:35:04.920 --> 00:35:07.239
something from the picture. Is it coming out here to
711
00:35:07.239 --> 00:35:10.800
do early work? What it exactly is paying attention to
712
00:35:10.840 --> 00:35:11.599
the details.
713
00:35:11.960 --> 00:35:14.760
It's everything, like every aspect by coming out here to
714
00:35:14.800 --> 00:35:17.960
do early work, like making sure like yeah, the drills
715
00:35:18.000 --> 00:35:21.679
might be easy, but like how focused can I be
716
00:35:21.880 --> 00:35:25.480
doing these easy drills, and like how do I be
717
00:35:25.519 --> 00:35:28.599
an expert at them? And as far as like pitching
718
00:35:28.719 --> 00:35:32.480
and hitting stuff like that, Like we have we have
719
00:35:32.559 --> 00:35:35.159
all the tools in the world to be better, So
720
00:35:35.239 --> 00:35:38.320
I try and use those tools and study pictures and
721
00:35:38.360 --> 00:35:42.599

722
00:35:42.599 --> 00:35:44.840
that can help me. I'm trying to trying to be

00:35:44.880 --> 00:35:45.679
a master at it.
724
00:35:45.760 --> 00:35:47.920
I feel like your whole life is baseball. I don't
725
00:35:47.920 --> 00:35:49.960
know anything about you except that you asked me for
726
00:35:50.079 --> 00:35:52.400
music recommendations and you didn't use it.
727
00:35:52.880 --> 00:35:56.360
Yeah, you you gave me some bad recommendations.
728
00:35:56.599 --> 00:35:58.239
Some bad recommendations.
729
00:35:58.280 --> 00:36:02.400

Is the only thing that I've ever wanted to do.
735
00:36:15.679 --> 00:36:17.960
I mean, of course, there's like other stuff that I
736
00:36:18.119 --> 00:36:21.199
like to do, but like I like the golf and
737
00:36:21.760 --> 00:36:26.079
fish and I'm a huge homebody, so like I'd much
738
00:36:26.159 --> 00:36:30.760
rather stay inside and just chill, hang out, keep to myself.
739
00:36:30.880 --> 00:36:33.599
All right, sounds good. We'll allow you to do that.

Dodgers playing host to this Saint Louis Cardinals show. Hey
796
00:39:14.239 --> 00:39:16.320
Otani on the Mount you through a season. I three
797
00:39:16.599 --> 00:39:18.719
to fifty three pitches in his last start against the Reds,
798
00:39:18.760 --> 00:39:21.000
but remember came out of the game with cramping in
799
00:39:21.119 --> 00:39:23.599

800
00:39:23.639 --> 00:39:25.760
for Saint Louis first pitch coming up at one ten.
801
00:39:25.800 --> 00:39:27.960
When the boys in Blue plant home, it's important they
802
00:39:27.960 --> 00:39:29.800
have the right plan to protect their house. You need
803
00:39:29.840 --> 00:39:33.639
one to protect your home too. Create a wildfire action plan,
804
00:39:33.920 --> 00:39:36.719
select a predetermined meeting and point outside your home, and
805
00:39:36.760 --> 00:39:39.760
create a family communication plan. It's very important know your
806
00:39:39.880 --> 00:39:42.480
escape routes and practice them. Put together a go bag
807
00:39:42.519 --> 00:39:45.199
with all your essentials that your family may need for
808
00:39:45.320 --> 00:39:47.800
up to four days, if not longer. Carry a fire
809
00:39:47.800 --> 00:39:50.400

810
00:39:50.480 --> 00:39:54.039
easily start fire, so please avoid parking your car on

00:39:54.159 --> 00:39:56.719
dry grass. For more information about these tips and others,

00:40:00.880 --> 00:40:03.199
first pitch, head back out to booth. Tim never Rick
814
00:40:03.280 --> 00:40:04.599
Monday guys.
815
00:40:04.400 --> 00:40:07.800
Tim, thanks again, gorgeous afternoon here at Dodgers Stadium for
816
00:40:07.840 --> 00:40:10.239
show Hey Otani to take them out and lead off
817
00:40:10.280 --> 00:40:14.039
in dh so Otani no decisions to forty the earned
818
00:40:14.079 --> 00:40:17.079
run average, makes his eighth start and we are expecting
819
00:40:17.119 --> 00:40:19.199
him to throw four innings today.
820
00:40:19.280 --> 00:40:21.920
Yeah, four innings, and if you look at the Cardinals lineup,
821
00:40:21.960 --> 00:40:24.199
they have four left handed matters. Reason I mean that
822
00:40:24.519 --> 00:40:27.599
up is just a one to sixty average, but lefties
823
00:40:27.960 --> 00:40:30.719
off of Votani. So we're going to see the bullpen
824
00:40:30.960 --> 00:40:33.039
follow on top of it. And for the Dodgers hitting
825
00:40:33.400 --> 00:40:36.760
against Liberator, one thing about it. Libertor is very aggressive.
826
00:40:36.800 --> 00:40:39.880
He comes right at him, nothing dainty about the way
827
00:40:39.880 --> 00:40:42.960
that he goes about, a very good curveball, and he
828
00:40:43.000 --> 00:40:45.480
wants hitters, obviously to expand the strike zone.
829
00:40:45.800 --> 00:40:49.159
Liberator has lost his last three starts, giving up a
830
00:40:49.199 --> 00:40:51.239
couple of home runs, and his ERA is well over
831
00:40:51.440 --> 00:40:54.920
six in those last three starts. He's also two to
832
00:40:55.000 --> 00:40:58.480
five on the road this year, no decisions against the
833
00:40:58.480 --> 00:41:02.639
Dodgers and a career ERA of seven seven against the
834
00:41:02.679 --> 00:41:05.840
boys in Blue. So counting it down to the first pitch,
835
00:41:05.920 --> 00:41:09.559
Matthew Libertor, the Cardinals show, Hey, Otani for the Dodgers.
836
00:41:09.599 --> 00:41:11.639
Tim all right, thank you guys. When the game's over,
