taking the first two games of this four game set and the Diamondbacks are set to counter punch with Brandon fought the right-hander on the mound he has been for the most part Jose Moda their most reliable starter this year he has been even though he has scuffled the last couple4 ra Junior Valentine our plate umpire back there calling balls and Strikes and here is the show show he hit a leadoff Homer of the ball game here yesterday sh Otani leading the national league in runs homers RB and Ops he generally leads the nationa league in baseball and it's 0 and one change up from thought fooled him a bit Jose we've noticed in this series in Otani in recent weeks he's chasing some pitches a bit more than he was earlier this year yes he has uh the one thing we show here is he'll Chase and look back all of so you make one mistake and there it is as you say he plays baseball all it takes 02 from flood got him doubled up on the change up and no this ball F could go to count him one guy Corbin Carol already made his presence felt in this series McCarthy in Center guill left Suarez P manuman Bell and up on the plate you got to feel good when we throw a sinker for the guys behind you and if you elevate anything there's a lot of speed out there at the Outfield iond back's always an excellent defensive team here's mie bets he's a pretty good hitter and Bs jumps on that fast ball and knocks it into Center he was among these first three Dodger hitters to Homer off Merill Kelly to start the game here last night there's a teken a he pretty much B throughout this series anything hitable they're going to go out there not just think about slugging but as mooki shows here let me go out there and serve it up the way he's showing it to me but it was a good movement on that pitch coming in so take notice right-handed batters a lot of early count swings from LA in this series Freddy Freeman has always torn this place apart 286 and now 19 homers mookie 13 for 14 in the stolen base attempts and there's another first pitch swing from Freeman who's homered in each of his first twoth bats in this series and Jake McCarthy makes a spectacular catch in right center readyy gave it a ride and McCarthy got that 413 Mark exactly what we're talking about he Elevate now you have confidence on the guys behind you because they're close and speed is just amazing the routes they take and just ball up you know it is challenging sometimes even will the roof close he went out there extended so well made an outstanding athletic play just in the top webbing of the glove Jake McCarthy tracking him down in Center the cleanup man for the Dodgers the dangerous tasar Hernandez that's it first with two outs so far this is the kind of series it's been F's only thrown five pitches we've had a strike out a base hit and a spectacular play in center it's like the pattern has not changed like why change it if you're attacking early and scoring early stay the same so far in the first inning between these two teams in the series we've seen 11 runs on 13 hits including nine extra base hits that's just how we've started Dave Roberts club now six up on the Diamondbacks at top the NL West you and I chatted with Doc in his office before the game and he talked to us about the importance for the Dodgers and this is a little bit new for them because they've been so good for so long of playing meaningful games down the stretch it matters a whole lot to the players the coaches of preparation and also the intensity you want to take into October once you get there 02 from flaud the Oscar top five of the league in strikeouts Strikes Out CL punches out to but he got big the in Center McCarthy goes and gets it diamond backs against DOD rookie left-hander Justin riny out of Hickory Flat Georgia making only his sixth career Major League start Romo the short stop the switch hitter leads it off and there's the fast ball for ball one raldo promo 274 3 homers more and more an offensive presence on this Diamond Back ball Club the defending national league Champs pretty good fast ball right there Junior Valentine though right at the belts is ball two and it's two and0 with Corbin Carol on day well Jose Dave Roberts talked to us about reesy in the first concern he raised was fastball command command and I think to me it comes down to SLO everything down to begin with not to do it too fast Romo very patient hitter pulls back on that 3oh but look Corbin Carol along deck then it's Lis guel Jr just underway from Chase Field in Phoenix Romo fights off that fast ball Freeman over to give it a look but it's in the seats out of play breski does have enough fast ball and enough sink to keep his defense occupied and you got to trust it you know it shouldn't just be an early count type of pitch you can set up a hitter a lot of times in thinking breaking ball and you can surprise him with that sneaky fast ball 3 two in the air to Center k k veteran out there one of the new Dodgers has it for the first out as we get a look PLA and glove take care of it along with a gold Glover Muki bets making that switch from the short stop second base last tier and right field by K me tcar has been quite adaptable in either Corner they have Mony Tommy edman and Lux Freeman and Barnes Orbin Carroll takes a fast ball Corbin has homered six times over what is now with trying to get that curveball through the front door Corbin hits it out there here Meers set to do it again this one a little bit easier two outs in the first and he'll work it upstairs leave the for seamer the slider the Cur that cast powered by Google Cloud guel Bater that n is so strong he's got the arms got the hands and waits on the ball and explodes and a great addition here in the desert 3-1 almost hit him and there's Ball Four pregame in during the open they average I mean and having a walk like this after two outs opens up a possibility for a guy that perhaps wants to see inside Bell at first base in the cleanup spot Diamond Backs as Pedro Martinez once said pitchers hate to throw pitches grounded to third it backs up Muny they go the short way and Lux has it for the force on guel Diamond Backs and the Dodgers in Phoenix we are scoreless after one welcome be Sunday lead off on the Roku Channel and we present Diamond Back Short Stop raldo Pomo how you doing Domo doing great we
