MLB Network | Mark Derosa reacts Shohei Ohtani HR, Clayton Kershaw pitches Dodgers top Cardinals 2-1

Dodgers were in town and that means this guy in all's Glory show oton he has 39 top of the fifth right down the middle see what happens solo shot right field and the Dodgers lead it just like that one to nothing M go Roos two two two outs he's got you Runners of the corners mukie bet scores did its job and the Dodgers lead it two to nothing Clayton Kershaw was vintage healthy they need him desperately watch this Runners on first and second we contas grounds into a double play out of a jam six Innings two hits zero runs two strikeouts longest outing of this season for him it was a one he only generated four swings and misses L 3-2 count Lars Nar for seamer right down the middle got all of it St Louis needed it the Cardin Trail two to one Nolan ronado at the plate bottom of the ninth runner on First and that was it good grief good brief is right that was all Dodgers win it 2 to one flayton Kershaw the best they have in the words of late great Vince Scully to Glass now has been their greatest starter but he's on the injured list with elbow tendonitis and the importance of Kershaw as always is of utmost importance they they kept calling him the stopper Dro on Sunday when he resigned they knew he was going to be a luxury right and now he has turned into a complete necessity he was awesome this weekend at some point does he walk into the clubhouse and go guys guys enough enough can someone bail me out I'm trying to retire next thing you know I'm getting game I'm getting game one of the nlds potentially he could if everyone's nicked up he was phenomenal what I love about Clayton Kershaw I think in my opinion is kind of he is the best ingame interview when he's sitting the bench that's a good call D you're absolutely right yes he gives you he takes you inside Saturday night they had him on the mic Adam Wayne Wright and him were going back and forth and he said listen I'm not the same pitcher I was when I first came up I completely understand that but my slider nasty my breaking ball still got depth like he knows how to get outs and how to compete differently than he than he used to when I used to face him back in the day where it was 96 top of the Zone with a Snapdragon curveball the Dodgers are super interesting and if I'm Dave Roberts listen I love my team I think I can win the whole thing but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't drinking a cup of coffee worried about their starting rotation Walker ber did not look good in Milwaukee right so we got to see him again Bobby Miller didn't look good the other night so you're looking at Gavin Stone's gone way over his Innings limit If That Matters to the Dodgers which I'm sure it does you need glass glass now and Yamamoto back for what what is he's working back Sim threw a Sim game I say to everybody cuz you know the show's running hot in the terminals I mean people watch the show and they come up and it's good to know as we're left as we're left to die in the terminal they've got plenty of time to watch the show because they're not going anywhere they're staying right there this is the first year though I said that this this is the first year like when they ask me who's going to win it I'm like flip yeah it's wide open everybody's yeah who's going to get hot the right time yeah should be lot the Dodgers are capable uh Dodgers uh begin another home stand tonight as they are in uh at home against the Seattle Mariners that starts tonight your pitching match up uh Gavin Stone against Brian woo yeah and you're starting to see a youth movement in Detroit in full effect and had some good ABS late so I wanted to dive in I wanted to three tile it and get into it a little bit yeah kind of pick out the schole judge matchup look at Jace Young a little bit and then some fundamentals cuz we're at the Little League it's all about fundamentals and doing things the right way right big leager showing a young guy so let's get into it okay match up probably your Al sa young against your Al MVP going head-to-head in Williamsport in front of nothing but 11 and 12 year olds had to be awesome so pause this real quick bring up the heat map of Judge I just want this is what sco's looking at right this is from the catcher perspective so anything middle down in is destroyed and then we got to stay away right he's not swinging outside the Zone very rarely that ended in April so we got nothing there so you got one spot to go down and Away on him okay what's ter scoble just hot change me real quick bry right there I want the slug by pitch type against scoble and what Aaron judge can do so this is what he's looking at slugging percentage by pitch type the only pitch Aaron judge struggles a smidge with is the change up and that sco's like go-to I know he's 99 100 miles an hour but he's thrown a lot of dead fishes this year if you're paying attention so let's get into it the three ABS it was on par I'm going to pitch to your weakness not necessarily my strength and he stayed away from him punched his ticket first AB with a change up so now what's judge telling himself second AB any piece of cheese I see I'm swinging probably down probably out a pitch he can drive but he takes his bullet knock the other way and what do scoble do his next AB Here Comes six change UPS in a row I'm going to eventually get you to get outside the Zone roll something over into a dou play so just two of the best in the game going at it but I like scoble pitching to the report not necessarily trying to Mono imano saying hey let me pound some heaters in on Judge and see what happens because they would have disappeared okay second thing like I said the youth movement's in effect in Detroit jaay young looks like a ball player we know his brother is Josh down in Texas this dude was the 12th overall pick in 2022 at a Texas A&M and what I love is the ab and staying through it the other way not trying to do too much it's the bottom of the ninth against the Yankees closer he's been there for 5 seconds but he wanted the moment and he came through he didn't roll over it to the to the second baseman he hit it hard up the middle and I thought JP morosi did a great job of asking him his Approach at this at bat take a listen Play Holes ninth inning Ty on base what was your approach you know I saw him uh Friday night just try to keep it simple I mean I saw what his heater did kind of ran a little bit so I was like you know do the first two curve balls at me and I was like I got to stay on the heater here like he's coming like he's good so like I need to go after him you could tell he's a ball player he had the eye black on so I wanted to flash black to Friday night when the home playay umpire decides to ring him on a pitch out up and away right there we're just going to ring him on that I mean that's a back door breaking ball six feet up and six feet out and we're calling that for strike three so he was prepared for the Sinker run this back in 2022 when he went 12th overall you could see like a little Robert there's a little Mickey tedeton in that set up there look at him laying the B down I don't remember who did this break down I don't know if it was amp singer Harold Casey but they nailed it with that comp right there so just great to see Parker Meadows and Jace Young having bigot bats but more than that staying through the ball and being professional hitters okay fundamentals we're at Little League let's look at three real quick I love in the fifth inning right here this little cut off and relay from vulpi we got a bullet in the Gap right there it doesn't get to the wall though so you probably don't need a double cut with Aaron judge's arm always know your outfielders arm strength laer didn't necessarily have to be there so you could tell he kind of shied away in that moment and Anthony vulpi goes out and then the throws a little offline but I love the fact that Jose trino the ball's the most important thing don't be sitting there and trying to swipe it home go get the baseball and then block the plate I thought he did an amazing job right there okay we've knocked glaber hard for LAX ofical play yeah this was not this wasn't one of them good call good call okay this this was a big play right here and we called this a wild pitch this is a pass ball every day of the week and twice on Sunday he's on his knee which I get it guys are doing that now but with a guy on third base I mean a ball pits the dirt there's nothing you can do okay and then we call up and then we call up the Martian tough spot I don't think he necessarily thought that Joey cor was going to send him mhm so he ends up double clutching but what he should have thought is Joey cor's brother's the manager of the Boston Red Sox and he's fighting for his life so we're Wheeling anybody to beat the Yankees to help my brother out Joey cor is the third base coach right there and Alex core actually tweeted last night love my brother for that send so I thought that was pretty cool keeping Boston alive yeah this is an awesome awesome game yeah I know it's a lot on players they get out of that plane and it's like game on yeah but what an opportunity MLB does a great job of Po per in these games all around from London to Williamsport up and down the line it's been really cool AJ hinch sort of hinted after the game that that probably could be the last start for ter scoel on regular rest so you might see him get throttled back the rest of the way as the Tigers aren't kind of in playoff contention and Jason Dominguez going back yes because Dominguez was the extra player that each team was afforded because were little leag [Music] [Music] classic [Music] for [Music] [Music] for for to [Music] keep [Music] [Music] for [Music] [Music] [Applause] for for
