We got your Dodgers magical moment and in just a few minutes we'll head out to the Gallpin Motors broadcast booth with Tim Neffett and Rick Monday. Well, last night it was Clayton Kershaw's masterpol per pormance. Seven innings, no runs, three hits. He struck out five along the way. Those five strikeouts now put some two thousand, nine hundred

and eighty eight. He is twelve away from three thousand strikeouts in his Hall of Fame career. He was masterful last night against that Giants offense. Meanwhile, the Dodgers offense went to work early. Show hey Otani let off the bottom of the first with a solo home run to give the Dodgers a one to nothing lead, his twenty fourth home run of this season. In this second, the Dodgers busted it open with a five run inning. Andy Pie has an RBI single, Michael Confordo with an RBI single.

Then it was Mookie Betts turn.

Speaker 7

There comes the one to one. Bett swingson, drives it deep to left, this one heading back toward the wall.

Will Smith a sat fly with score Show Hey Otani the Dodgers with five runs in the second goal up six to nothing on the San Francisco Giants. I Sung Kim with an RBI single in the third that made it a seven to nothing at Dodgers lead. In this sixth show, hey Otani a home run to right center field, his

second home run of the game. That is this third multi home run game of this season, his twenty second of his career, and the Dodgers up eight to nothing. But they weren't done then. Still in the bottom of the sixth, tay Oscar Hernandez went yard.

Speaker 7

Eight runs, eight hits for the Dodgers. Now single run on the first, five in the second, single run on the third, and another run here in tay Oscar plast.

Speaker 8

One day pletfield way sacking done. Tiascar Hernandez absolutely hammers at baseball.

Speaker 5

He is homered in three straight games.

Speaker 8

It's a two run shot and the Dodgers are.

Speaker 5

In the double digits. It's ten to nothing.

Speaker 7

Oh my, what a shot for Taskar.

Speaker 2

Hernandous Taskar Hernandez four hundred and twenty two feet to left field. That two run shot that was number thirteen on this season. Now fifty RBI driven in for ta Oscar Hernandez, and that is the top tier play of the game. Brought to you by ARCO Quality, top tier gas for Les Miguel Rojas with homer in the eighth, the Dodgers up eleven to nothing. It turned into a laffer he get Hernandez was on the mound, gave up some runs of the ninth. Anthony Banda had to come

in and finish off the Giants. Dodgers win it last night, eleven to five. Clayton Kershaw's seven shutout innings for the win. He's now two to zero Dodgers forty two and twenty nine on this season, and tonight, on Sunday Night Baseball, they go for the series win over San Francisco. Dustin May on the mound and with more we head out to the Galpin Motors broadcast booth as we welcome in Tim Neverritt and Rick Monday guys.

Speaker 7

Thanks him and Happy Father's Day as the Dodgers get set to wrap up this series with the San Francisco Giants, champs for a series victory today and to go to two games up. They start today a game ahead of the Giants at forty two and twenty nine, the Giants

forty one and thirty. After last night's win eleven to five, and Moll still talking about Clayton Kershaw's performance last night not only did he go seven innings, becoming only the second starter for the Dodgers this year to pitch seven full but he added to a strikeout total, and he is now just twelve strikeouts away from the magic number of three thousand.

Speaker 9

Clayton Kershaw last night got everybody's attention. I've already had a couple of scouts come up to me today talking about really reminiscing on that game last night. And it didn't start out all that well. Remember the very first batter of the Kershaw face to open up the ballgame, he was out in front, no Bow's two strikes, wound up walking the first batter, but then two batters later against the double play ball, he's out of the inning, and from that point on he was on cruise control.

And he put on a pitching clinic last night on how to work the hitters and how to observe swings and take advantage of it.

Speaker 7

Another guy who's putting on a clinic offensively since he's been in the league is show Hey Otani's two hundred and fiftieth career home run last night. He is now, according to Elias Sports, the fastest player in Major League history to get two hundred and fifty home runs and over one hundred and fifty stolen basis. He's done it in nine hundred and forty four games. A rod was the fastest. Alex Rodriguez did it nine hundred and seventy seven.

Speaker 9

Yeah, it's amazing what he can do. Then he wound up getting intentional walk, Then he walked on his own and then hit the second home run of the ball game. Speaking of home runs, it's nice to see ti Oskar her name, is now starting to hit the ball very hard. First pitch thrown to him in the sixth inning a

home run four hundred and twenty two feet. More important than the number of feet on the home run was the type of swing now that we're beginning to see much better time from ta Oscar, and hopefully that's just a sign of great things to come.

Speaker 7

And let's not bury the lead about today's news. Dave Roberts, telling the media earlier today that Roki Sasaki is not going to throw, They're not going to let them pick up a baseball right now, said it's more of a comfort thing at this point in time and a confidence thing at this point in time. And that they are prepared to move forward as though he's not in the plans.

Speaker 2

For this year.

Speaker 9

And as soon as that was said in that media room where the press conference is taking place, there was total silence there for a while. I mean, if you start to dissect that statement, that is a huge statement that we may not see him for the rest of the year.

Speaker 7

And he's still doing baseball activities. We've seen him throw recent days in the outfield, but again, they're going to keep the ball away from him right now and we'll see what happens is the season goes along with Roki Sasaki, does he come back or does he not? Dave saying, quote he doesn't feel like he can ramp it up, unquote right now. And as far as pitching with Otani, he's going to throw to hitters early next week, not sure which day, but it'll be early in the week.

And Dave says he's getting anxious to pitch in a game and it might come sooner than later.

Speaker 9

Well, we start to look at the calendar and is it going to be on this upcoming road trip we will find out. Dodgers, meanwhile, have a ball game to win and trying to stretch it out to two game lead over the San Francisco Giants after their victory last night.

Speaker 7

Dustin May gets the ball for the Dodgers. He's three and four two and one in his career and five appearances against the Giants. Kyle Harrison, the lefty, will go for San Francisco. He's one and one in a four to five six earned run average. A Father's Day special here at Dodger Stadium on Sunday night, Baseball hits the Dodgers and the Giants.

Speaker 1

Speaker 8

That's a home run for Altani, his second of the night. Oh it's a big time show. Eight to nothing Dodgers.

Speaker 3

Home run number twenty five for show Hey Otani as he hit an absolute frozen rope into the right center failed blachers.

Speaker 2

Show Hey Otani goes deep twice last night for the Dodgers, number twenty four and twenty five on this season. Otani now forty one run batted in on this season. He was also on base twice last night via the walk, two for three, two home runs and two walks. A pretty good night for show, hey Otani, and an eleven to five win over the San Francisco Giants. It is Father's Day. Let's head back out to Dodger Stadium. We're on David Batasay standing by with the special guests.

Speaker 5

Well, Tam, it wouldn't be Father's Day at the ballpark if we weren't joined by Michael Milkin, a man that thirty years ago wanted to bring awareness to prostate cancer and fathers everywhere. And here we are the Home Run Challenge thirty years later, still doing a lot of great things. And Michael, thanks a lot for the time and great to have you back at Dodger Stadium.

Speaker 10

Well, I'm the happiest guy to be here. I was diagnosed thirty two years ago. They had given me twelve to eighteen months to live, so I couldn't be happier. And even more important, there are with new therapies that have been funded by the Home Run Challenge, there are three and a half million more men alive today enjoined Father's Day with their family. That's going to mean a lot to you, It means a lot to me, and it means a lot to all those families.

Speaker 5

Sure, Michael Milken, you've often emphasized the importance of early detection. How was the home run challenge help educating? How has it helped educate people out there for screenings and just be aware to get checked.

Speaker 10

Well, there's many life threatening diseases, but very few that have an early warning system. A simple blood test no different than checking your cholesterol. And so our goal was keep dad in the game, come out to the ballpark, Remind your dad, grandfather, uncle, friend, brother, cousin, nextdoor, neighbor, coworker to get that simple blood test. And the month that most men get that simple blood test is the

month after Father's Day. So the Dodgers and Major League Baseball have done a phenomenal job of getting the word out.

Speaker 5

How big has the partnership been with Major League Baseball to get awareness out?

Speaker 10

Well, thirty radio stations, thirty television stations, and really it's changed how men view this. We just had President Carter, excuse me, President Biden diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer. He hadn't had a blood test since twenty twelve or fourteen, so that was a big mistake, and so instead of finding it early, it's a little more challenging. But with the new therapies we have, we're expecting President and Biden

to have a good outcome. But it's a lot better when you catch any life threatening disease early.

Speaker 5

That's beautiful. Michael Milken is our guest on Father's Day at Dodgers Stadium. The home run Challenge going strong thirty years later. And if you had to give one message on this Father's Day, thirty years after you started the home run challenge, what would it be?

Speaker 10

I'd go to PCF dot org Prostaycancerfoundation dot org.

Speaker 5

You can learn all.

Speaker 10

About the therapies, nutrition and reminding you to get that simple blood test. For the African American man, you have to have it by forty For others, no later than fifty. I was diagnosed at forty six, So my own personal recommendations, I start getting that blood test at forty. It's no different than checking your cholesterol. Go Dodgers, keep Dad in the game. PCF dot org.

Speaker 5

Love it, Love your father, encourage him to get checked for prostate scanning and screening. Michael Milkin, thank you so much for the time, and hopefully Otani helps the cause today.

Speaker 10

Well, he had a big night yesterday two home runs, and I look forward to the game today. And we have five of our grandchildren here at the game.

Speaker 5

Love it, happy fathers. They enjoy the day at the ballpark.

Speaker 10

Wonderful to be with you again.

Presented by UCLA Healthy Official medical partner of the Los Angeles Dodgers. Rookie Sazaki. As you hear from Tim Nevert, doesn't sound like he's going to return this season. That is disappointing news. More on that coming up. Tony Gonsolin on the iel with the right elbow sword is Tyler Glass, now Blake Snell, Luis Garcia all in the I L Blake trying to making progress returning from the sixty day

I L hopefully to help out this Dodgers bullpen. All right, let's head back out to Dodger Stadium and here for the Dodgers skipper.

Speaker 4

Any questions for Dave Dave? Can you just describe Dave?

Speaker 2

Can you talk about the pressure.

Speaker 6

In the dugouts with Dave Roberts, what's the starting.

Speaker 10

A final spot for day.

Speaker 11

Step away his disparios to Bye, you know what he's going to pitch on Monday, and just leaving it open that if we decide to use an open or something like that, just kind of seeing how we come out of today, and it's really wide open for Tuesday and Wednesday. Obviously we got Yamamoto go on Thursday, but this is going to be kind of this is the last part of the piece of getting past this stretch right here. As far as on the pitching side, No, that should

be today or was it today? I think it's today. I think it's the one that's bullpen today. Actually, yeah, I think it's a very high likelihood he's going to be activated this week. This week, we just don't know if it's going to be, uh, Tuesday or Wednesday.

Speaker 2

May you talked about this stretch, win or lose today you come out of here.

Speaker 4

That makes your first place.

Speaker 2

Well, you guys have been able to navigate experience. How satisfied or dissatisfied?

Speaker 11

Very satisfied. I think given all the circumstances, I think that we've navi ge did it really well. I think it was hopeful that the offense came to life last night. I think that the bullpen, you know, all things considered, we've reset guys. We're getting some guys back to health, some of our starters, namely Snell and Glass. Now we're on the mend. So that's exciting too to kind of get through this kind of stretch that we're in. And so we just we did it. We've done a good

job of staying the course. But we still you know, we still got a chance to win a series today and then we got a big series coming up this week.

Speaker 2

All right, there's the manager, Dave Roberts and that big series coming up as four against the San Diego Padres. Still to come here on Dodgers on Deck, we'll hear from Clayton Kershaw coming up in about twenty minutes. But up next we check in with David Madsday as we lead jump to first pitch. Sunday Night Baseball, Dodgers and Giants. I'm Tim Kasey's World champion Los Angeles Dodgers Padio Network.

Speaker 4

As we were saying, this.

Speaker 6

Is Marongo Casino Dodgers on deck on the official home of La Dodgers Baseball.

Speaker 2

Dodgers and Giants, Sunday Night Baseball, Dustin May left hander Kyle Harrison. We'll go for San Francisco. That is the pitching matchup. First pitch coming up at four ten.

Speaker 6

Joining Tim cats On Dodgers on Deck.

Speaker 5

I accept everybody for who they are.

Speaker 6

This is Dodger insider David Base.

Speaker 2

All right, DV, Happy Fathers Day to you show. Hey o'tani? Is he gonna pitch again this week? Where are we at? It feels like he's kind of ramping it up here quickly.

Speaker 1

Yeah.

Speaker 5

Well, ESPN is reporting that there is a growing sense around the Dodgers that Otani is going to pitch this week. That would be a great departure from what Dave Roberts has maintained the last few weeks that o'tanni would not pitch until after the All Star breaks. So that kind of tell me that Otani wants to pitch and sees

the Dodgers need some help in that rotation. So I would say, with him not throwing to hitters on Monday or Tuesday and instead throwing a bullpen session, that is a real possibility that Otani could pitch by the end of this homestand in a game. And look, he's gonna pitch once a week. He's not pitching every five days. He's pitching once a week. So I would say, you know, the way this is trending, maybe the last game against the Padres, maybe Saturday against the Nationals is a real possibility.

Speaker 2

Now, wow, that is a far cry from what we have been here and in speculating maybe post All Star break, that's a quick ramp up here. In mid June, Davis Driven by Ford, Twitter, million Drivers. You've done more than help make Ford America's best selling auto brand this June by a Ford helped celebrate importance additional donations to the causes. That's Ford building together. Ford mortarcon pretty from America for America. Another arm that could be helping out this team. David is Emma Shean.

Speaker 4

Yeah.

Speaker 5

Dave Roberts actually conceded that he would be pitching in the Padres series. Emmett was at Dodgers Stadium yesterday here's what he told me about the long road back from Tommy John surgery to be able to be in this position after three rehab starts.

Speaker 12

Things been great. Feeling really good, feeling you know, back to normal pretty much, which is nice. Got three starts in so far, so feeling really good.

Speaker 5

Do you feel like next week you could be starting in a game here in.

Speaker 12

La Yeah, I think it's a possibility, definitely. I'm not sure, you know what the plan is always I never know, but yeah, hopefully.

Speaker 5

The word on the streets already is that you're making a start. Shean, Why don't you just let us know?

Speaker 9

I don't know.

Speaker 12

I can't. I don't know if I can do that. I don't make the decisions around here. But no, it's hopefully soon enough. I'm feeling really good.

Speaker 5

So has this gone as smooth as you thought it would or how would you describe just this whole process?

Speaker 12

Yeah, honestly, like very smooth. You know, I had the best care I can possibly get here in Arizona two and I mean a couple of times, definitely. You have little flare ups here and there throughout the whole rehab process. It's gonna happen to everyone, but overall really smooth.

Speaker 5

Any new tricks.

Speaker 12

Oh maybe I can't tell him to you though.

Speaker 5

Yeah, thanks, I'm glad you're healthy.

Speaker 12

Thanks appreciated.

Speaker 5

Wow, im it? She is so skeptical to tell me anything, Tim, But that's a young pitcher that certainly doesn't want to speak out of turn. Yeah, well, we know not a veteran. He's not gonna just tell me, Hey, it's Tuesday or Wednesday, and he's not gonna tell me, hey, maybe I picked up a new pitch. But we'll we'll see what he's got for us. But the one thing I could tell you, Emmitt Shean physically is bigger and stronger than the last time he pitched in a Major League game.

Speaker 2

Cannot wait to see him back out there. On him mount, A guy who is not afraid to speak. Clayton Kershaw coming up in fifteen minutes with DV. Thank you, David.

Speaker 5

Happy Father's Day, Rick, Hope you are enjoying your day and you mean a lot to all of us, even those that are not your kids.

Speaker 4

Yeah.

Speaker 9

Well, sometimes we have to remind you that you're not a kid. And Happy Father's Day all the dads out there. I think it's special to come to the ballpark too, a lot of memories for those that have grown up with their dads or even their moms, are just a family. This is kind of a respite. I keep saying this, when you come to the ballpark, you check reality at the gate. Unfortunately they hand it back to us when

we're ready to leave the stadium. But when you come out here is and all your aches and pains and worries kind of juster. And unless you're a hitter. Last night trying to figure out Clayton Kershaw, and then is it my goodness, that was really close to vintage Kershaw.

Seven inning, just eighty one pitches, five strike, ass walked, only one little weird that the one walk was on the very first bat of they faced, and yet he had to count no bulls and two strikes, winds up walking him one out later, ground bowl double play first and he was over. And then Kershaw just took charge.

Speaker 5

Rick, You've seen so many great pitchers over your baseball life. I mean, what he did last night, that's not something just an ordinary guy could do with what he has.

Speaker 9

No he's been working to try and get to kerkr ball. He's been working again to try and get the slider back to what we have seen before. He also mixed in a splitter or two, and then one kind of a mix up pitch. Ye that registered, well, what about fifty nine miles an hour or something like that an accident. Then then he went in after the half ending on the way to the dugout went until the umpire said, oops, that was a little mechanical disruption, if you will, of the delivery.

Speaker 5

Do you have appreciation for a guy like that that already has accomplished so much.

Speaker 9

Here's one of the reasons. Not just because what he did last night, which I thought was terrific, Well we saw today he was out here too, working, and I mean working by stretching where the trainer who was right there on the field. This isn't even count what he did inside on the field stretching and then running and getting ready. And the day before he pitched. We saw

this again in San Diego. He took the mound. It was a San Diego somewhere else took the mound Saint Louis and Saint Louis with no one else in the in the bullpen, and would just kind of acclimating himself sixty feet six inches away from a plate. There was no one else in the bullpen, and yet he was there with a loan, with his thoughts that's got a report,

and thinking himself mechanically through his delivery. And we kind of laughed and in Saint Louis because even though no one else was in the bullpen except him, this was about two and a half three hours prior to the start of the game. When he came sent he was still signaling to the invisible catcher. Hey, it's going to be a slider. Hey, it's going to be a kurbul. He was totally focused in. There could have been a thousand people around him and he was not aware of it.

Speaker 5

Rick, you've talked about paying attention. Do you believe other guys on the team are paying attention to what his work ethic is all about.

Speaker 2

They're not.

Speaker 9

They're missing a really a good opportunity. I think you always do that. Sometimes we have different paths to have the osmosis to absorb that knowledge and to see what he's done something special, a few things special. You assume the ability is there? What about the intangibles? And if I'm a young pitcher, I want to see. Are the intangibles different from what I perceive and what I do and what he does? Can it work for me? And I would want to talk to him all the time.

You see the young pitchers that I think are going to succeed. Those are the ones when you look in the dugout during a game of games that Kershaw is not pitching, that are picking his brain. What do you see in that hitter? What did you see in that pitch? What are you working on? What light you throw? In this situation? Always trying to find out what happens. It's not just hey, look, hey, look the store down the streets running a sale. You gotta go in there.

Speaker 4

No, they're talking baseball.

Speaker 5

Makes sense? Rick, happy Father's Day?

Speaker 4

And me?

Speaker 5

Also, they fixed my tie again tomorrow.

Speaker 9

No, you're a quick learner, only to do it once.

Speaker 5

All right, we'll send it back here in the studio.

Happy Father's Day. Tell all the dad's out there, and I could have found a better dad to talk to today on this special day for the dads out there. Yeah, he threw seven scoreless innings yesterday, but he's dad to his four kids and one more on the way. That's our very own Clayton Kershaw, Happy Father's Day, Clayton, you too, Dave.

Speaker 4

Thanks for having me.

Speaker 5

Hey, today was a great father's Day because you were on the beach and you did the gender review. Because Ellen's pregnant with another baby.

Speaker 13

Yes, she's doing December, and we found out today that we're having another girl.

Speaker 4

So Bookend Girls is pretty awesome.

Speaker 6

Girl.

Speaker 13

Three boys and then another girl. So my daughter was super excited and the boys aren't gonna know what to do with her. But it's a great father's day, great start to the day.

Speaker 5

What is Father's Day to you now compared to maybe your first one?

Speaker 4

That's a good question.

Speaker 13

I mean, I think, well, it's special because the kids make it special, you know, I think that's what's cool.

Speaker 4

They really enjoy.

Speaker 13

You know, they like to make cards, they like to draw stuff, they like to they like to go pick out, you know, random funny stuff that they think that I'll like. So I just seeing it through their eyes, are getting to like celebrate. They do a great job of, you know, making me feel special, which is really cool. And you know, I don't think you really understand that until you see it through your kid's eyes. So that's that's pretty cool.

Speaker 5

Who has more of your personality out of the four so far?

Speaker 4

Oh man?

Speaker 13

You know, I think Charlie is like a mini me, my oldest, my eight year old. I think he uh, he's he looks probably the most like me, and then he's got the same like personality traits. I think he drives my wife crazy sometimes with how much he like he wants to be on time. He's so like, oh man, it's good until like you can't drive and you got to wait on your mom to drive you. That's how I was, and that's he's in that too.

Speaker 5

Clayton Kershaw is our guest on Father's Day. Okay, seven scoreless innings, but you wake up today you have a great family moment with Ellen and finding out you're having another baby.

Speaker 2

Girl.

Speaker 5

Do the kids even care what dad did yesterday?

Speaker 4

You know, they got to.

Speaker 13

So my my daughter got home from camp yesterday, Ellen went and picked her up. She was at overnight camp, so she came straight here to the game, and so they got to watch Ill' and let him stay up for the whole game. And I uh to be I don't know if they care or not, but Charlie, Charlie likes to dissect the whole game and he's a big baseball fan now, so it's it's awesome. And yeah, you know, I don't think they cared this morning, but last night they seemed like they cared, so that was cool.

Speaker 5

Do you think Dad surpassed Aaron Judge and Charlie's rankings?

Speaker 4

That's a good question. Yeah, he wears ninety nine.

Speaker 13

I thought it was I thought it was for hyunjin Ryu, but uh, turns out it's for Aaron Judge. But you know, that's a I'll let him do that one. I think Aaron Judge is a great role model, so I'll take that one for sure.

Speaker 5

Everybody keeps asking me, why do you keep doing this? Why do you keep pitching? Is family? A big reason why you keep going to have your kids, have Charlie see you? Is how much of the equation is family?

Speaker 13

Yeah, I mean I think it starts with Ellen. You know, I think she really enjoys I think she really enjoys me doing what I am good at. And so I think that that means a lot to me that she doesn't. You know, she's not the wife that's like all right, I'm done traveling, let's go, let's go home, let's do

all that. Like she she's on board for anything. And you know, traveling around the country with four kids isn't easy obviously, but she does it all summer with all of them, and she like embraces it and the kids seem to love it too. So that's been awesome that to have that support. And then I think for me personally, it's just just as simple as I wanted to. You know,

I don't really have another answer. I just like didn't feel felt like I wanted to keep going, And I think I think that's as good enough as the answer as I can have.

Speaker 5

We always hear the athletes talk about enjoying the journey or enjoying the process today, day one of the five day routine. How much do you relish this just as much as going out and competing every fifth day?

Speaker 13

Ah, I mean it's hard, it's it's harder to wake up and things like that. But there's nothing better as a as a starter than the day after when you get to just basking it and especially when you pitch good. It's the worst part when you pitch bad, but the best part when you pitch good. So the day after it start is an awesome feeling, for sure.

Speaker 5

Do you feel like you're sending a message to everybody on your team? You know, Hey, I may not feel my best and maybe a little harder to get this routine going again, but you've got to find a way.

Speaker 13

I don't know, I don't know what type of message I'm sending, other than you know, when it's your turn to pitch, go pitch, and thankful to have that opportunity right now.

Speaker 4

And you know, we're in a hard stretch.

Speaker 13

We're playing a lot of good teams, playing a lot of like above five hundred ball clubs, and doesn't get easier with the padres coming in for four after this one today. So and you know, obviously we've got some guys hurting things like that. So guys are stepping up, guys are making you know, their starts count, and obviously we're just gonna have to keep grinding through it. But it seems like we've got some guys on the mind, which is good. And you know, Benny c coming into

the starting rotation. He's fun to watch. He's got a lot of good stuff and good mindset. And you know a lot of young guys. Jack Tryer has been awesome. Our bullpen, you know, is stepping up, throwing a lot of innings. Obviously, so all those guys, everybody's kind of stepping up. D May taking the ball every fifth day, all these things. So it's a it's definitely collective effort.

Speaker 4

Right now, all right, before I let you go.

Speaker 5

Father's Day. I feel like the only really reward we get other than having our kids every day is the meal that they may let us pick out. Does the family allow you to pick out dinner tonight? Or did they allow you to pick out breakfast?

Speaker 12

Uh?

Speaker 5

If you if it's Father's Day, if it's really Father's Day for Clayton Krusha, what do you want?

Speaker 13

Oh man, that's a great question. I mean, I think honestly, you know, the pizza is pretty tough to be.

Speaker 4

You know, I could hammer out. I could hammer out of pizza at any seconds.

Speaker 13

So you know, the steak is great, and I you know, I love steak or burgers or all that. But at the end of the day, a nice pie sounds pretty goody.

Speaker 5

Thanks a lot for the time, and happy Father's Day. Obviously, we see how much work you put in on the field, but getting to see you with your kids is really special. And you're a better dad than you are a pitcher, which is hard to imagine, but it's true.

Speaker 9

All right.

Speaker 4

I appreciate that, man. Thank you. Leave it right there. Happy Father's Day, guys.

Speaker 5

In the last ninety seconds, the San Francisco Giants have announced that Sean Jelly, the six foot eleven right hander former second round pick out of Kentucky in twenty eighteen, will now be the starting pitcher for the Giants and what becomes now a bullpen game. Why have the Dodgers and Giants had this change while the Dodgers is flip flopp Taskar Hernandez and Freddie Freeman

in this starting lineup. That's what the Dodgers change has been, but why Kyle Harrison has been scratched from this San Francisco Giants lineup. Well. Reports from baseball insiders, including now Bob Nightingale from USA Today that the Boston Red Sox have traded Rafael Devers to the San Francisco Giants and a multiplayer trade that includes what was supposed to be

Kyle Harrison the starter in this game. Now we're getting more details as they come in here before first pitch, but Kyle Harrison will not be the starting pitcher for the San Francisco Giants. In fact, he was being warmed up in the bullpen by catcher Logan Porter. Kyle Harrison stopped warming up just minutes ago. Has been informed that something is happening. He'll be traded, and it looks like

this is the trade. Rafael Devers a trade, a blockbuster trade between the Red Sox and the Giants, Jordan Hicks, Kyle Harrison and more for Raffael Devers, Giants, Red Sox. So we got a new starting pitcher wild minutes before first pitch. Been a long time, says we've seen something like this happen.
