00:00Freddie Freeman takes his position at first base as the Dodgers take the field in this

00:05Rematch against the Yankees much of a World Series rematch could be a World Series preview

00:09Absolutely, especially the way that both sides are trending towards now a couple health issues on the Dodgers side

00:15But nobody's gonna feel sorry for them and the Yankees business as usual

00:19They are trying to downplay it Wayne

00:21But I believe that both these locker rooms circle this matchup and they're fired up for this one

00:25Well, we welcome those of you watching us live on X. We'll have this live stream up for the entire first inning as Tony

00:31Gonsolin is on the mound for the Dodgers tonight. It's a depleted pitching staff right now

00:36Gonsolin had a blister issue a couple of starts ago

00:38It's been rough his last two outings as he works his way back from Tommy John

00:42Yeah, last two outings. He's carrying an eight ERA his first two three starts

00:46He was two and oh with the two ERA very important for him to be able to throw that fastball because everything plays off the fastball

00:54The split finger as well as the slider also something. I'm watching from Tony the velocity

00:59I want to see that velocity anywhere from 93 to 95 miles an hour

01:03If not, he's gonna have a difficult time navigating this Yankee talented lineup

01:07And stack has powered by Google cloud on that arsenal. We'll give you the Yankee lineup

01:12Presented by bet MGM Aaron judge one of three former MVP winners in the Yankee lineup along with

01:18Cody bellinger won an mvp as a dodger and paul goldschmidt the first baseman was an mvp winner for the cardinals in

01:252022 it's been a formidable lineup

01:27They've scored a lot of runs even without john carlos stanton for all of this year. Oh, you know what?

01:33uncle ben

01:35Mr. Rice has really stepped up and paul goldschmidt has been absolutely resurging has a chance to be come back played in as well

01:41Trent dressing been outstanding especially in the leadoff spot

01:44They are underway in this heavyweight title matchup here tonight the dodgers and the yankees here at dodger stadium

01:51It was games one and two of the world series here in los angeles

01:55And it never came back as the dodgers took a three nothing lead in game three in new york

02:00The yankees took game four and the dodgers put it away with that big comeback in game five

02:05That resulted in some of that trash talking between the dodgers and the yankees more on the dodgers side after

02:13You know they won and they got to say whatever they wanted as a judge put it

02:16Well, there's a little bit of a chip on their shoulder

02:18Especially after winning during the covert years of 2020 and everybody around the city of los angeles talking about mickey mouse

02:24And so they felt like once they won especially going up against a talented team like the new york yankees in the way they won

02:29It felt like they've been decated 2020 as well. It's 0 and 2 on grisham

02:35As he skips out of the way on that pitch from tony gonsolin gonsolin really couldn't get a

02:39Feel for his splitter and that start where he had that blister it's better now

02:44And dave roberts thinks gonsolin's gonna have a good outing here tonight

02:48He's trying to will it into existence they need one the dodgers bullpen has been beat up

02:54Some of the starting pitchers for that matter as the dodgers have gone through injury after injury so far this year

03:00Well, it seems like as an organization lane that this depth has been tested year after year especially over the last couple of seasons

03:06So it's very important for some guys like dustin may yamamoto and tony gonsolin to just be able to post

03:13And take some pressure off that bullpen because they've been overused

03:17Grisham calls it off on two and two it's been a nice start to the year for grisham

03:22He's in a dozen home runs his batting average much higher than usual he's worn out gonsolin to seven hits in 15 at bats

03:29He's not afraid to be able to hunt that fastball especially without batting gloves and

03:37This seems like he's comfortable in a yankee uniform

03:42Bouncing ball draws Freeman away from first gonsolin goes to pepper and that's the first half of the ball game

03:47Talked about that split finger lane very important now. They got the big man on campus coming to the plate

03:54Now the biggest man on any campus

04:09This is a six seven 280 and a two-time mvp

04:16Aaron judge trying to join a very short list of three-time winners shohei otani is one of them

04:22Shoei trying to join an even shorter list of four-time winners

04:26As aaron judge takes ball one hitting

04:29391 to start the year he has 18 home runs he has a 1227 ops he's on pace for the highest war

04:36Since babe ruth yet aaron boone says yeah, we haven't even seen the best of judge yet this year

04:41There's a strike to judge how's that possible you know what it shocked me you know

04:52I mean when he said it in the meeting but you know aaron boone knows him best and says

04:56It's business as usual and you can't get him out the problem is if you make a mistake you're not getting that baseball back

05:02There's a flat ball hit to center field hit way back and this one's not going to come back either

05:08Aaron judge starts off this world series rematch with a blast

05:25Mama there go that man again

05:27What did I tell you you make a mistake especially when he's able to extend his arms and a big guy like that?

05:33They want to extend their arms as soon as that baseball was hit he went to the big man part of that ballpark

05:39hit it up top

05:46They are fired up on that side

05:48446 feet on mammoth shot

05:52To straightaway center field the 19th homer for judge this year

05:56Only show hey has more with 20

06:01All one cody bellinger the former dodger and former national league mvp

06:07Dave roberts had nothing but great things to say about cody bellinger says he's happy about his success this hope he struggles during these next couple days

06:14Bellinger has not struggled much against the dodgers since leaving the dodgers

06:24It's gonna be the last couple of years with the cubs. Nobody has hit the dodgers better

06:28That's one there called a ball the bellinger will smith seems surprised

06:39Two balls and one strike bellinger with a 466

06:43On base percentage against the dodgers since leaving that's the highest

06:47Of any player against them in that time

06:51Goncalen his former teammate backs him away three balls and a strike

06:55It was quite a fall off for bellinger as a dodger he's revived his career thanks to those two years in chicago

07:04Look what's his guys again? It's ball cool

07:18Right in the heart

07:20As soon as that ball was barreled he understood that nobody was going to get to this baseball

07:24And so will smith knew it was a mistake and he pies this has no choice but to watch that ball fly

07:30very far

07:33Got the gavel chain on two here comes the judge

07:40It's paul goldschmidt out to play now we thought this game would feature the first ever matchup

07:47That involved three mvp winners in each batting order the yankees have their three in their judge bellinger goldschmidt

07:54The dodgers have otani and freeman but they're missing mookie bets in the lineup tonight

07:58Thanks to a stubbed toe robbing us of a little bit of a history tonight

08:05Dodgers are waiting for more news about mookie they hope right now that he's just day to day

08:11Yeah mookie still trying to find his

08:13Putting offensively but really has stepped up defensively in that shortstop position

08:21A ball one strike on goldschmidt

08:23He lifts one out to right center field this one will hold up for andy pa has

08:29Two away as goldschmidt flies out

08:32That's the one thing i like about tony gonsolin no matter what happens to him

08:36He continues the pitch he continues the battle believes in his stuff

08:39And so the velocity is right there where it needs to be just has to stay out of the heart of the plate

08:43Especially to a guy like aaron judge maybe even to a guy like ben rice who has hit 11 home runs this year

08:49Aaron boone says this guy can hit the ball as far and as hard as anyone on this yankee roster

08:56He's third on their team and home runs right now with 11

08:58He lines this one the right field for a base hit

09:05Bellinger takes second base as rice singles and it'll be anthony both be up with two on

09:11rice tinted in the american league in slug

09:1457 percent hard hit rate that's fifth in all of baseball

09:18So when he squares it up like you just saw he can put the barrel to it and so

09:22Aaron boone raved about this young man this about his work ethic came in the spring training about 10 15 pounds stronger

09:28And so now you're starting to see the dividends of a young man playing with confidence

09:32Now the yankees who have a run in this first inning will send anthony volpe to the plate

09:37Hope he's had some big hits early on he's second on their team and runs batted in he's driven in 33

09:41And 17 doubles to go with the 246 average

09:47It's going to be a longer first inning here for gonsolin

10:11Volpe slips this one toward the right field corner pretty deep down that line but foul one ball one strike on volpe

10:19Saw that clip earlier from fight for glory

10:22On apple tv the docuseries about the 2024 world series

10:26There's a lot of talk about dreams when it came to freddie freeman in the backyard and living out the ultimate childhood dream

10:33Well, that's what anthony volpe does every day. He dreamed of being derrick jeter the shortstop for the yankees and

10:38You know some ways it's fascinating and improbable and volpe has made it happen absolutely

10:44Shouldering that responsibility to be at the shortstop position in any ball club, but it's a little bit different when you're with the yankees

10:52Ball one strike

10:53Especially when you're from the northeast and from the area and lived it and breathed it your whole life

10:59You idolize cheater and now you have his position

11:02I mean, it's really an incredible setting for anthony volpe and he won a gold glove his rookie year something

11:08Not even cheater did only two shortstops in history have

11:14Strike from gonsolin even the cat

11:28Traffic in this sitting judges homer the yankees have the early lead

11:32Gonsolin trying to wiggle out with just one run-aloud. He's got a full count now on volpe

11:37And the runners bellinger and rice will take off here

11:41Tony gonsolin is still trying to find the release point especially to the glove side

11:47Will set everything up especially to the right-handed batter to slider and then the fastball as well three and two volpe pops it up

11:54An easy one for teoscar hernandez in right field as gonsolin settles for giving up the one one of the first

12:02Judge says your turn champ

12:05That's what we all here for baby. I love it

12:10Judge homer to his first step back in this world series rematch now shohei otani stands in

12:16Not homer in the world series. He was kind of bothered by that shoulder throughout the world series last year

12:22But he got his first ring and now he is right left center field it's judge one otani won

12:28How do you not love sports way?

12:50We're gonna be here all night wheezy you ain't making that red eye

12:58Greatness greatness

13:04Simple as that

13:06It's that mvp swagger it's aaron judge and it's shohei otani

13:13And a blast off in the first inning in game one in this world series rematch

13:21The intensity this is a continuation way of the world series

13:26You tell me the both these sizes have this matchup work circle

13:32Showing his 21st home run of the year already he's at 14 in may

13:38He's the only man ahead of judge

13:42Is he even a man we're not even really sure they're x-men

13:45He's the only one in the first inning

13:47Wow

13:49Ball one strike on tay oscar hernandez

13:53And for max reed who's been close to

13:56Unheadable this year with a 129 e ra

13:58Well, that was quite a jolt with a fourth home run he's allowed

14:02He's just trying to get settled into the ball game

14:04But he understands who's at the plate

14:06Missed right over the heart of the plate and another chance for a big hitter to get his arms extended

14:11It's a pretty big hitter in his own right flips one to right. It's judge in fairground to make the catch

14:22The immediate answer from judge to show

14:28As soon as that ball was barreled I looked at Grisham to see how much room he had

14:33He gave two glances and then held up and all of a sudden we got a tie ball game just like that

14:41Will Smith the catcher for the Dodgers. He's been outstanding offensively to start the year

14:51For 57 on base percentage for Smith as he takes ball one

15:01Jeremy react home plate umpire goes out to deliver a new baseball to free

15:04Yeah, the intensity is so loud right now in this stadium the pitch comm is starting to mess up

15:12Pitch comm issue here for free so straighten that out the Dodger lineup brought to you by bet MGM with Shohei leading off

15:1960 runs scored in this season. That is ridiculous

15:23I mean this the impact daily we talked about it in the open not only at the power department

15:28But is able to his ability to run and get himself in scoring position just a weapon at the top of the lineup

15:34Pace for a number of runs scored in a season over 170 that we have not seen since Babe Ruth

15:41What a shot from the spectacular Shohei in the first inning tonight

15:46Along with Aaron judge you can't ask for a better swing a better pass on the baseball especially in the balls middle middle

15:52Two balls no strikes on will Smith

15:57See this as a pitcher. Well, you get

16:00Ripped up here on the first swing of the game. How do you get yourself back together?

16:04Well, it's 0-0 and you don't want to allow the game to get away from you

16:07And so you have to refocus because both these lineups have very deep lineups that continue to come after you and all of a sudden

16:15You give up a

16:17A big number and you're out of the game

16:19So you have to continue to battle and really just find your release point you see gonson struggling that first inning after that home run

16:25And then all of a sudden right now max free who's been absolutely outstanding struggling with it as well

16:30Freed is allowed two runs or fewer two earned runs or fewer each of his 11 starts

16:35So far as the first Yankee to do that at the beginning of the season

16:39129 ERA 7-0 the Yankees have won all but one of his starts he has been truly exceptional

16:45And in the first year on a big contract a lot of times we see guys struggle with that transition, but not max free

16:53As that breaking ball misses to smith and it's three and two

16:57Where Boone raved about this is competitive nature, but he's also a guy that's great in the locker room

17:03And so he's already won this locker room over so every time he's on the mound they expect to win the ball game

17:09Furlander on that list and buzz capra on that list three and two

17:13And smith has one back freed is from the area went to harvard westlake high school

17:18He's actually born the day after the northridge earthquake

17:22His parents had to drive around to find an operational hospital for his birth

17:26And he ended up at harvard westlake with jack flaherty and lucas giolito who they all went there together and p crow armstrong came later

17:33And he's on his way to superstardom it looks like as well

17:35He was an outstanding job timing that you know perfectly sometimes the ball to break the action often time to jump too early

17:55These are outstanding athlete

17:59With baseball

18:01Here's freddie freeman the world series mvp

18:11Thought this place was rocking when she went deep a few minutes ago

18:15Think about how loud it was the moment when freddie connected against esther cortez set one out into the seats

18:21This place was maybe the loudest it's ever been

18:24What a shot of this blue heaven at dodger stadium

18:33The balls two strikes on freeman who did not even have an extra base hit

18:37in the division series or the championship series

18:40battling his ankle

18:42And then now gibson-esque with his home run

18:45freddie met gibbie on that night here at dodger stadium in game one of the world series

18:50Then he set a world series record with his 12 rbis

18:54Check swing keeps him alive

18:57Truly an iconic moment in world series history

19:01Absolutely wayne being able to get to that fastball off of nester cortez and as soon as he barrow did he knew it was game over

19:07Absolutely sweet swing and when it's all said and done for his career

19:10I believe he's gonna be a first battle hall of famer one of the best back-to-ball skillsmen in the game's history

19:16He's not slowing down as he gets older either

19:19359 this year

19:23Is the active career leader in hits

19:29He's 35 years old he'll be 36 later this season

19:35One ball and two strikes

19:37One of the backstop

19:43Of course freed and freeman know each other pretty well from their time with the atlanta braves

19:48Tough matchup lefty on lefty, but freddie freeman has made a calling card to be able to hit lefties and your max free

19:54You're just trying to resettle calm your nerves down get your pulse back

19:59execute a pitch

20:01Swing and a miss he executes that one blowing 97 by freeman

20:05To end the first aaron judge delivered to the top of the first shohei otani had the answer in the home half
