Otani 44 home runs on the season to go with 43 stolen bases a chance to inch close execution today on the mound defensively and at the play We execute put go out there and you know you can do the exact same thing them to them today that's right series comes to a close today from Chase Field in Phoenix the Dodgers and the Diamondbacks game might be one of the best breaking ball teams in the big leagues but when he faced him as a tiger his breaking balls were very clity facing the Dbacks for the first time in Dodger uniform this year but it's facing them for the second in backs sh Otani and the guys are going to try to score a lot of runs for the Dodgers first field the Dodgers and Diamondbacks wrap up this four game series and the Dodgers trying to win the series stolen bases 25 games remain during the regular season he's followed by Betson Freeman they loaded up with right-handed hitters for this finale against Edo or good memories there's a lot of guys in this lineup that hit him very very well the one thing that's happened so Otani climbs in and off we go with ball one from Rodriguez they're 82 and as the season series is tied and comes to an end race especially with the Diamondbacks would have the tie in hand Otani is ripped in turns the page quickly the Dodgers win in the first two games of this series both of them slug Fame Dave rbit took them out the Dodgers is looking for the long ball I think they had three home a good lead over there not running BS pokes one down the line foul you're like oh why isn't show hey maybe you go when uh when Freddy's UPS the Lefty comes home and bats fouls it again 50 run the difference there have been so many twists under one two is 2 4 six three base is clean Freddy Freeman right here we go it Ben that's ever played in here he's described it before as feeling like that Dimension here for him three balls one strike he feel with a 3-1 Ball Four first walk of the game issued by rodri Eduardo Rodriguez in his career 381 three home League six consecutive misses Here's 2 ah not going to get there neither will so second and third with two Will Smith out takes the ball strike on Smith one and one hot shower half out one ball two strikes on Smith who has looked much better this week home with the onew Will Smith checks his swing and fouls it off know about the prolonged slump but starting to get to the point where you're feeling like right guy in the right spot two pitch this is where the Dodgers have excelled the last couple weeks stays away this time stays alive that's what he did 24th pitch of this first inning is a jam shot Josh Bell can't get there four [Music] fouls it again ninth pitch he takes ball three Rodriguez hasn't found his range yet Off Pitch got him fast ball sneaks by him that's as fast a one as team in baseball scored 29 runs over the three games fired him from Detroit minutes before the deadline and he's in there with a strike on Caroll one nine games over those 13 starts barol speed Smith gets him one away and strike one he's done that on the first two hitters that's been a bit when he gets strike one the Ops against his got a Chase and a curve the pitch that he's leaned on more and more since top of hitting it good but with Jack it's kind of like not my breaking ball Els has the first base hit for Arizona Ground he digs it out off of each so maybe that McCarthy hit will be the Jack Peterson at the plate got the teal batting gloves and guard on to Jack to jock gets it in a bounce guns to second one roas to First a guy who used to play center Fields now a DH and not fast enough center field Short Stop 14 games a spring training what your stance should look like and he's a switch hitter there's nothing really catch it for the first out you put that all together it's a valuable player really guys out there playing defense there's no part of player through and through and there's no part of his game that there's a flaw with a two and0 count back to- back changeing UPS two balls two strikes hard right so you got to protect one side two gone in the second herandez you have hit Rodriguez hard on the mount strike one roll so much clarifies the roll so much cuz Rodriguez gets the call and he's not only helps you hit the now he's getting a little bit more detail it's not just enough never had any kind of prescription it's a as they go into the off season and as they put in the big leagues like every month you know just 2020 you might ask frz who works a one two3 second Stadium to cheer on the Dodgers SC interested and excited about this team it is a good time to get a ticket and go see them over his last 10 games more than holding down the fort as they wait for Christian Walker ball and they've done it without three of their best hitters two and Diamond Backs were in it last year and so there's no new emo for me there strike three on an inside corner fast ball for being in the vicinity Jack in the Box restaurants paven Smith takes away ball one the Padre's so nothing too crazy about it Padre's seems to build there when they start playing well the hitters in particular yeah I think you're right I think you can the field when they're locked in and when they've got positive things around it they're the type of Team swing and a miss back to back Cs on heaters for Jack fre the heater Adrien Del Castile rookie catcher sees another heater sees another St then the curve o and two strikes out the side coming up for the Dodgers in a scoreless third inning Chris Taylor leads off takes a ball from Rodriguez two games there with the angels but they've answered the pressure I mean it could have easily been Taylor turning watching a hit off the wall Now 49 pitches T thrill to single his first first time not many guys shy of the Dodger single season record in 2001 it's Chopper foul one ball and two strikes oh almost had to apologize to himself look out two and two inside Jo Otani chops one foul spoils another smack Taylor not going to get him closer to 50/50 bangs a base hit to left and it's he was sitting on something in right away run scoring situations get off me ball strike on Freddy Freeman they have each other Freeman on the track at the wall it's gone Otani at bat because Rodriguez was in the bank here in the third and a ball on [Applause] Hernandez Roger first baseman and ball went strike out three times each of the first two games didn't have one yesterday out of room Superman a double and a triple today for teoscar Hernandez damage has come almost every time right around that 50 pitch mark first inning coming off a game against the Mets where he was perfect through four innings was very efficient here's is 1-1 ball two they give you this note now cuz I don't know if he's going to face him again so you're saying that now because more about maybe get the home run then get the single for the infield gor with an easy pick 70th pitch already and that'll do it in the third theano Suarez rips and misses at his first one it's against Rodriguez dodg has swung the bat 35 times against coming off a game against Baltimore where he went that was a goal of his to get a little bit deeper but he didn't foresee it being an issue today on the line and a fair ball for Suarez it's a good breaking ball but they've dug it off on now Jack flairy on field has already earned a opponents are three for 28 with runners in scoring position since he timid he's thinking too much pretty much just gets right back on the Rubber and now ball three sets a reputation that he started to develop on Mars he walks goret first to have reached for the diamond BS here from flarity shows B takes low sacrificed earlier two and0 flared he so over to a covering Chris Taylor deadens it run Taylor throws him out RBI for K ground out out nine off of the bat of McCarthy with a good curveball we go to the middle Innings Eduardo Rodriguez misses away with his first pitch to Miguel Rojas he and he will get it play feels like we've turn back to clockin ball on Kik Hernandez second especially here at the end of the season showing that you'll still do it because that'll change the Deep first time lifts first down to the four a bun single and then takes double off the wall in center field his first time four for his last Ro makes the grab moves up the runner Miguel gets a two out in this fourth inning roas at third first one from Rodriguez is a ball it's one seven years oh gosh 117 mph single shotani takes ball [Music] three four pitch walk debuted as a 22y old in 2015 in the dirt stopped by del Castillo that's where they went ball on a strike went up got a swing in a miss not necessarily where he wanted to go I don't think but there goes Otani check swing no throw 44th stolen base for OT it's it's almost inevitable split of a single he didn't steal and ended up that's something Dave Roberts has talked about seeing him go from being a payoff to bets they'll do it again signals he's making to run the only person that could get you leave that's will track it down in the deepest part of the yard C chck Peters leads off the fourth and waves over the top of a good curve from Jack flare two pitches the fast ball and a slider they're only swinging at about 20% almost feel like we've been flying the wall in their hitters meeting that things are twice after it that was an attempt at a slider this 3-1 takes it right down the shoot ball and he'll swing at it from his toes fast ball by Will and by Jack run something else all right let's give him the fast ball Bell struck out his first time curve grounded foul fouls back this fast ball Flare's ahead one and two way to go exactly what they did perfect and the Heart of starts him with a curve strike it's not just control it's command the curve ball have command for Smith hustling out curveball and he did a nice job del Castillo curve ball for a strike and that means that you're still executing your pitches they might anticipate some fast Balls by him one and two if you don't execute it do you then look back and say oh over in this area and they they they're that's a full out guess hitter and then there's the Dell Castillo is poke down the line foul priority is Strike him out unless it's man on third one out what what do I need a few times to get to that fast ball which is Haitian $25 million contract just has not been right for $25 million deal they're terrible having to live through a bullpen game in the World Series so he said to himself I can't have my [Music] team that certainly played a role in it another onew to Freeman for Suarez an impact again shy of the cycle pretty much a given super hard to Center one blo Miami in 2017 ball one on Will Smith and Oscar's going to have a couple say Oscar against left-handers now is hitting he hits home runs and he strikes out but it has been so much more nuanced but to really feel that impact that's to really know it you can read about it but really Bud's buddy Will Smith takes outside two and two in the game Throw 30 pitches in that first inning and so into the bullpen it in the batter's box two for Montgomery taken in the dirt there goes Hernandez delayed attempt and Del Castile fly to center field McCarthy twists around squares up makes the grab flarity goes back to work and Spins one away at aano you're saying it during the pregame show yeah the bullpen is reset after yester there's how often you on your arm to get loose so if Jack can stay clean and that phone rings in the pitch is ready swing and a miss he gets Suarez with the fast ball the best that pitch one away in the fifth goret takes strike one you know the other thing that is subtle but is happening right for pinpoint fast ball Arizona two up and two down in the [Music] fifth flare with the fast ball in I mean I don't think there's anything you could coach him up on his fastball today two1 from flare dipped a little bit low with that heater 30 over the head and home with a 3-1 that's in there for strike two So within this at bat we've seen 95 Pomo see it doesn't do much it just kind of spins like a starts him with the fast ball taken for strike one ball one strike he is homered against on this 1-1 he takes in the dirt ball twoo spray pattern other side of the plate you wanted fouls it straight back two and [Music] two ball down the middle or they're setting him up by knowing we're going to pick off at first so I'm going to show a Target takes off Full Count here it comes Carol swings and misses the elevated fast ball finishes him off and six September 9th purchase a special event ticket sixth inning Tommy Edmund leads off and takes a big curve for strike from Jordan Montgomery we said at the start of the game that the outcome of this one is the difference between seven games up and three games up Dave Roberts would take it FL still on the mound pitch count well in control two to admin swing and a miss one away in the six so it's a little more of and those little regular season games get analyzed as five or seven oh the one thing the Dodgers would like to do first two games when they won they got three hits in each one with Runners at scoring position two and0 on Hernandez Montgomery throws in K takes ball three three and0 two out nobody on that popup was sent in the air and for coming up Jake McCarthy takes ball one from Jack flare two and 0 moment it's going to be a Dodger start for Jack flarity you know take got a fast ball by McCarthy two and two 347 off of it back hit Jake McCarthy and just finds a hole Peterson slams it foul home runs most typically you know what's on Jock's mind here Peterson strikes him out with the Curve one to hit when it's on the dirt Bell has been a strikeout victim both times two and0 wpen begins 3 and0 there goes McCarthy throw from Will Smith is right there and they got him perfectly that's his 29th caught stealing and boy hot coals on the head plate better as the year went on Elite this year controll where the league apologized to him when that happened over at third base N Run at the plate in the six three 0 there it is three and one just misses Ty run reaches B Castillo one ball no strike pitch swing and a miss ball one strike and Dave Roberts always talks about that neutrality being right at the of fires and Strikes him out Smith tosses down to First Chris Taylor leads off the top of the seventh for La they lead the game three to one curve Falls in and it's one and one Taylor one away it's also stolen his 44th base one and0 there's like his first one the swing to clear the hips pull the hands in just can't do it all the time a ball on bats it's a 3-1 there goes Otani throw from del Castillo not in time his second of the goes he's got another Third Store base of the game for sh in the top five in the majors 92% curve for a strike on Freeman Diamondbacks had thrown through every single time for the last month on the next pitch bring home sh Otani the lead to 4 to [Applause] one strike one from Montgomery other than Gil Hodes skin a Oscar TOS it foul it's one and two two and two a two- two tasar D is over to third [Music] he strike one tasa runs no throw and a stolen base Will Smith two more runs will will having a great day behind Dodgers four for four today b a strike on Edmond Edmund to short caught by perom they got three in the third they've been sign and 67 pitches he's averaging nine pitches an inning it's amazing hey Haniel Suarez leads off this inning two and0 doubled and from Venezuela and otani's returned to and the [Music] high gor takes a strike luor was just playing for the are in Miami playing the Marlins and so he just drove a half an hour from his house to the park and join ground ball 98 nine out flly make the grab for the first Carol shows bun takes the ball franchise record it's on the line here though ground ball streak 12 on base streak 40 they lifts the first pitch foul you're not going to double up anybody with these guys with Carol at first this guy at the plate it's one and two on McCarthy saw just a moment ago on the one two chops it foul one two pitch and a big bounce is only play as at first he's got a hurry to make that Arizona looking to do the same on his first pitch swing and a miss Goen one same pitch same result the 02 now a fast B just misses in outstanding pitch to throws pop back foul another foul you're not going to distract the pitcher he Carol should be out there trying to steal sign one two pitch outside even the count out will be an eighth 10 n Dodgers on Friday Anthony Bond a check swing from gritch and he's worked the count for ninth pitch got a fast ball by him oh but he got a piece of it and Smith really make it tight chop down the line [Music] foul be an easy play Bond beats git but ball one strike one Anthony bondas sharp ground it is short for roas goes the short way and ends the seventh this final game of the the season series and take strike one from Sone Arizon and S Roa short and foro throw him out how about the Chicago scoreboard watching all word spreading in Chicago did you hear we're on the graphic these Diamond Backs are shown a lot 11 games four games below 500 at that point tor's a Santa Monica native he says that I would take that the wrong way if I was him I'm going diamond back next Christmas he can butter him up with doubled and score the Dodger's first run it's awkward you know when F of all Baseball fans so just do something cuz it's it's kind of at least it's not Ken yeah exactly 5 six and seven do up poke the right's got his second hit back keeps the hands inside it has enough SW it also guarantees Tasker Hernandez one more at bat in his hunt for the cycle three bases ahead of shone two and0 so now he's going to be known as a speed he is if he wants it three and one pinpoint three and two throws and Otani fouls it off so about uh the stor started smelling 50/50 takes ball four back to where he's a go glove Defender pulls the into the corner well nice he's patient that's his approach but when there's a chance to drive in a run we're seeing him change that like mookies knocked in three Dodgers toss a little water on the Fire fouls it off I know it was tongue and cheek when we talked about he takes that pace in next this might be the best stolen base year down the line foul and he's work count 10 pitches to Freddy Freeman make it 11 again and Freeman hits go yard against Sone pitches and you don't get any by you strike on to Oscar Hernandez who gets his chance right here at a cycle one ball one strike on Hernandez four for four it's one-1 bounces it five for five and Swinging early the last pitch was and boy oh boy Sone gets roas to ground out won't get there win game two yesterday the Oscar Hernandez right the to even add up to be a hard hit ball I wouldn't think Tommy Edmonds here seven straight two out base runs made the first out of this inning nine two out hits today two out hits seald gets roas on three pitches but the Dodgers explode and it's all smiles in that Dodger Dog his first game in the big league since July misses inside with his first pitch to paven Smith even with the up and down effort from Triple A he's gotten some nice stats here at the big Le the way the Dodgers have done the pitching moves because of the necessity of the another underway in San Diego so while La has the tiebreaker over Arizona the Padre's it's sitting at five it's really four things from Vegas the hook Ron to D castio in the dirt one and two prove himself didn't have nobody knew that he was the actual real Pro pitcher and then he shows up and he's throwing 80 mil an hour probably at least that he Strikes Out Del ringer and there's strike one no it's probably as much fun as the hitter good take by Suarez counts full driven the left home run of this series 23rd of the year coming but I didn't see this one coming strike on gor that one worked 9 go to that one other note from San Diego Fernando padr went 38 and 21 without him it's actually right around when he went he's having a good year too actually strike three to finish off the eighth home run from Suare with out he's retired on one pitch he had game since coming [Music] back checked his swing ball two wow foul and then unable to lay off that one two gone in the ninth is 15 of their 20 times up we didn't get cheated on that one different at bats today come hits more than their swings and misses it's impressive it is fouls this one off gets rung up there on a pitch off of the finish the game and a pinch hit will go up there to the dod this is a nice time to pitch 11 to four lead bouncing ball to First foul it's not real good for the hitter but it is awfully come here and captured that light swing and a miss a strikeout to open the nine the West Coast games not for the hitters at least right yeah was that year 1988 no it was uh good 20 Innings or so on two to carolles over the wall [Music] the second McCarthy brother to play in the big leagues soer brother that taught the boys how to play this place was rockus throughout this weekend today in this weekend starts to feel like a statement consistent winning buny Wells got it
