Alex Call has best game as a Dodger in rout of Rockies
Denver – Mookie Betts was the first Dodgers position on the field on Tuesday, heading for a place near the third line of fault and kneeling on a carpet in front of a coach, who started hitting ground balls on the right and on the left.
It is a borehole that Betts regularly makes to improve his defense. Defense of Betts, however, is really not a problem for dodgers.
Six occasions Gold Glove in right fields, Betts has moved to full -time stop this season, putting his old position back to Teoscar Hernández. And her defense has was a problem. But Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said he had no change in his range at the moment.
“Do we play our best defensive programming? No,” said Roberts. “But I would say that there are very few teams in the big leagues playing their best defensive programming each evening. Even in an post-season race, you must always mark.”
The Dodgers are definitely in a race in the playoffs and Hernández absolutely helps them, ranking second from the team in the Home Runs (20) and the Product points (75) after being two for five with a race and a point produced in the Routte 11-4 of Tuesday of the Colorado Rockies. He also made two beautiful racing.
But the Dodgers did not need a lot of defense on Tuesday, beating 18 shots with each programming player reaching the base least once. The newcomer Alex Call paved the way with a career summit of four strokes, including a home run and a double, marking three points and leading in two other while falling a shy triple of the cycle.
“I didn’t think about it. I was really trying to climb on the basis another time,” said Call, who withdrew his last at-bat in the eighth, about the cycle. “But everyone in the canoe was like:” If you hit this ball, you better continue to run. “It would have been fun to find a gap and see what would happen.”
The Homer, an explosion of 453 feet in the second, was the longest by a Dodger this season. However, Call still managed to recover the ball as a memory.
“In fact, I had friends in the stands who stole Wisconsin, and they found the ball for me,” he said.
The circuit helped call the rupture of a terrible crisis. He entered the game by striking .174 since he came from Washington on the deadline for trade, which was not the kind of introduction he hoped to have with this new team.
“I wanted to make a good impression. But I think you have a good impression by just showing how you work and showing how you play the game and trust yourself to do what you do,” he said. “I said to myself:” I’m just calibrating “.
“There are many pieces in motion, a lot of new things. New coaches, new teammates, a new situation, a new city.
Freddie Freeman, Will Smith, Betts and Miguel Rojas joined Hernández and called with several strokes for the Dodgers, who scored eight of their 11 points with two withdrawals.
“Really, really satisfied this evening,” said Roberts. “You saw another ball club tonight.”
And a different call too.
“It is certainly a great adjustment, especially when you enter a clubhouse like ours,” said Roberts. “Coming from the national championships, a group of young players, and you see our ball club in the running and trying to understand where you are, right? He is friendly of the way he played, practiced, and it was good to see him have a little success.”
The Dodgers led 7-0 before the Rockies had their second Baserunner, with one of these upcoming races on 44 of Shohei Ohtani 44th Home Run of the season. This facilitated the starter Emmet Sheehan (4-2), who equaled a career summit by making six heats, withdrawing seven strikers from the season to win the victory.
“We just went up to the table early,” said Freeman. “When you mark shopping, you want to continue as an offense.
“”[But] I don’t think anyone thinking about how we have done today tomorrow. Every day is a new day. We are going to go there and give everything again.
Yates makes the appearance of rehabilitation
The Kirby Yates lifer walked one and withdrew one during an appearance in rehabilitation of a round for Oklahoma City on Tuesday. He launched 21 throws, 13 for strikes. Yates made the injured list on August 1 with lower back pain.
