00:00Dodgers beat Cleveland 7-2 last night.

00:04Now, he started the Sunday night game against the Mets with a leadoff home run,

00:10but they did not get the win in that game.

00:12So he decided, let me try it again Monday night in Cleveland,

00:16Otani on Sportsnet LA.

00:18And Williams has one that he likes.

00:20And off we go with Otani.

00:22Bust in the ball.

00:23Way gone.

00:26One pitch, one swing, one run.

00:30Ha-ha!

00:34That just does nothing to me.

00:36Easy, Joe.

00:37Easy, Joe.

00:39Joe goes on the tag for the Dodgers, too, when he does national games.

00:44He's like Reggie Miller.

00:46Otani threw 22 pitches, his first bullpen in nearly two years at Citi Field over the weekend.

00:53That's just great.

00:54I'm sure they'll get him back in time for the playoffs.

00:56He'll probably come out of the pen and he'll blow everybody away.

01:00Now, you sent these over to me.

01:02Otani's stats through 50 games of last year and this year.

01:06Now, last year he had a higher OPS.

01:09He had a much higher batting average.

01:10He was in .347 last year.

01:12He's only hitting .296 this year.

01:15More power this year.

01:1617 homers this year.

01:17He only had 13 through 50 last year.

01:21Same RBIs.

01:22He scored 16 more runs.

01:24Same amount of stolen bases.

01:26So, a little more power, a little less average for Otani so far in 2025 compared to 2024 over the last 50 games.

01:35The D-backs beat the Pirates 5-0 last night.

01:39Pirates didn't have much pushback out there in the desert.

01:44No, I know.

01:45When do they?

01:46The Padres beat the Marlins 4-3 and 11.

01:49We always love walk-offs on coast-to-coast, especially wild pitch walk-offs on Padres TV.

01:57Winning run at third base with one out in the bottom of the 11th inning.

02:05That one kicks away.

02:07Here comes Tyler Wade.

02:09He is safe.

02:11A walk-off wild pitch in the bottom of the 11th inning.

02:16I think Machado hit the home run that tied that game in the bottom of the eighth.

02:20So, it's, you know, the same story out there at Petco usually with the Friars.

02:26It usually is.

02:27The Braves didn't play last night.

02:29How about Acuna Jr. on Friday night?

02:33He hit a homer in his first at-bat back after being out for a year.

02:38And I don't think it's landed yet either, by the way.

02:41Rating a bell on that one.

02:41We called that on the show that he would hit a home run in his first at-bat.

02:46You did have that one on Friday night.

02:48And then he went and did it again on Saturday night.

02:50Whoa.

02:51He also hit a homer.

02:52So, he's already got two in the first couple of days for the Braves.

02:56And how about the tear that O'Neal Cruz has been on?

03:00Now, I know the Buccos lost last night.

03:02On Sunday, he hit a homer 122.9 miles per hour.

03:07That is the hardest hit ball in the StatCast era.

03:11That's the ball, if you saw the highlight, that ended up in the Allegheny River behind the stadium.

03:17He hit it so hard and so far.

03:20He has been smoking lately, O'Neal Cruz.

03:22The Cruz missile.

03:24Seven for 19.

03:25Six extra base hits.

03:27The home runs.

03:28The 122-mile-an-hour ripper into the river.

03:31He's got it going on right now.

03:33He's dangerous when he gets on base, too, because he can steal bases.

03:36He's the only thing, along with schemes, that you can even mention when it comes to this crappy ball club.

03:43He's got it going on right now.
