dodgers lead it 3-2 over the mets. mets are still batting in the last of the eighth inning having knocked walker buehler out of the game down there. so they got a tight one going in l.a. as well. dodgers have won seven in a row. two down. nobody on. here is his old battery mate, romo facing buster posey. that back door two-seamer right on the corner at the knees. it's 0-1. sergio romo, your old teammate and old bullpen teammate. he talks a lot about you, the effect you had on him. >> javier: he should. ha. no. c'mon. i love all of these guys. every time i share a bullpen with some special team, petit and romo. >> jon: you were the veterans and he was the young guy. he said he learned valuable life lessons. >> javier: this dude is 38 now. . 38! >> jon: he is over the heart of the plate with that one and buster fouled it back. >> javier: no signs of slowing down. throwing great. >> jon: his stuff looks the same now as ten years ago. >> javier: closing in on 38. a big number for a reliever. >> jon: he's had quite a career

this is eddie murray with the dodgers. what he's done here is every time murray was up at bat against him, he kept notes on the right-hand side, but he also used colored pencils representing each of his pitchers to see how murray did against them. with that, he was able to figure out how to set up his defense and also to figure what pitcher should go against murray. the eddie murray spray chart covers a couple of seasons. this is from '88 to 1990. all of this information, of course, is stuff that kind of comes out in some form through this game strat-o-matic, which was hugely popular when it first came out in the '60s. it's kind of the forerunner for fantasy baseball, actually, where you're automobile to pick your own players, you're able to pick your own teams based on how they perform. what you had was a game that was updated every year with cards showing statistics of players from the previous year and then you built your own team. with the roll of the dice, the game proceeded. so many players and so many people in the

so you get to the point that now, today, about a third or so of the dodger fan base is hispanic. and there's just no underestimating the importance that's had in major league baseball. some other things we have here is a really interesting image took in world war ii. ancel adams took at ansnar in world war ii, he was documenting what was going on in the internment camps where japanese americans were being held. so here we have this image of a game going on in these very bleak desolate areas here, and we've paired it with a book called baseball saved us, and it shows kids playing in the internment camps. and it was written by the son of parents who were interned, and he is talking about how that unity of playing at the national game, of alleviating boredom, of being part of the national life even though they were incarcerated was such an important part to their survival. and as it turns out there were actually a couple of players who were held in internment camps who had chances to be scouted by the brooklyn dodgers and it's just kind of an interesting pairing about how baseball w

wednesday, dodgers and phillies.we'll be at citifieciti field for the dodgers and mets. welcome back, with alex rodriguez, matt vasgersian. the white sox just flexed their muscles big-time. >> alex: they did. in the first inning, five runs. jiminez, 3 for 4, two homers, five rbis. he was a big star tonight. >> matt: they checked all boxes. great starting pitching, the on onslaught in the first inning. jiminez, an rbi double, and then a second homer. >> alex: he looks good. very impressive night for jiminez. >> matt: as we mentioned, just the third time ever that the white sox have come across town and swept three from the cubs. you know, the dominant brand usually ebbs and flows. and the cubs were kings in chicago for such a long time recently. it's the white sox's story now, as their third series sweep another this ballpark has come to an end tonight. in a dominant, lopsided 9-3 victory. now it's time for the cleanup crew to go to work. and good luck getting out of here tonight. we're still in the neighborhood, afte

the giants have a four-game lead over the dodgers. are actually getting ready to play the mets in a four-game series and the the mets also played a giants that the dodgers play someone else right before the mets us live in my mind. but they also have the padres coming out so hopefully the dodgers and the padres can beat up on each other and the giants can continue to grow that lead in the nl west. but like i said, best record in baseball and one quick note, one of the most decorated women soccer players of all time. carli lloyd she announced today she's retiring. she is, you know, couple world cup skakel south jersey girl. so kind of on my neck of the woods over there by billy right over the bridge. so kudos to her on a great career those with the soccer women's soccer team dominated for a number of years. yet. >> definitely. good to see that. she's been part of of the well, every time. thank make this the summer you taught them what it means to serve. the summer of hauling happiness by the ton. and bringing home hardware by the handf

the dodgers are right on their tails. just 2 and a half games back. this next stretch is so important for san francisco, 3 of the next 4 series are against playoff teams in one of those teams is you guessed it. the dodgers, the tough stretch will start with a 3 game series against the mets. and gabe kaplan, though, that the giants will have their hands full. >> we have our work cut out for us in the series with the mets. it is a stretch a lot of games in a row and it is an east coast where we're going to go play 2 top teams in the mets in atlanta. but for us as always has been and will continue to be. when we talk about this, it's it's just one game rights. the first game of of the series is the first game road trip that we're going to be focused and i think we're going to be able to to reset your with the off day in and use that as a as a catalyst to to recover a little bit. >> so. >> here are your standings. the giants, the 2 and a half games up there with first team in baseball to win 80 games. get this. they're projected calling into the year 2 in

jackie robinson is playing for the dodgers. that is where we were able to draw a couple of items, including this letter from jackie in 1950 written to branch ricky, who is leaving the dodgers. and robinson is writing to let him know just how grateful he is for the breaks that branch ricky gave him in signing him to the dodgers, letting him know that he was a trusted friend and that he hopes that ricky will think of him as a friend in return. and it is a very heart felt letter thanking him for everything that he had done for himself and for his family. so what we have here is the original first page of jackie robinson's letter. and then on the back is a reproduction. in order to preserve this letter and keep it from being affected by the lights and kind of the wear and tear of being on exhibition, we will eventually swap these out. what we will have on display then will be the original signature of jackie later on in the exhibition's run. so what we have seen here so far today is only about half of the exhibit. so there is a lot

strike one to the former dodger. what was it? a couple of years with l.a. he had 36 home runs and every single one of them was against a right-hander. >> javier: yeah. >> dave: that one of the more remarkable things i ever heard of. not one against a lefty? not a single one? again, it's not like he is incapable of doing it. >> javier: real good pitch there. >> dave: i have to uncrumble my james hoye scouting report. now the strike zone is getting small again. >> javier: you may wonder why joc is facing this one but the braves have a switch hitter and righty on the bench so they are going with their starters pretty deep in the ball game most of the time. they would rather go with a platoon split, go with the matchup regardless of what the numbers say. >> dave: for tony watson, it's time to bear down and throw a strike. all of those split numbers are out the window if you walk him. that is a strike. 3-2. good pitch. >> javier: nice 3-1 fastball down and away. ended 94 miles an hour. got to attack him. >> dave: 3-2 the count. he walked him. >> javier: this is

also played with the dodgers. he has found a good home here with the giants. >> jon: called strike on the outside to hampson. he has a single. he also has struck out plate ap. would-be pinch hitter on deck is yonathan daza. >> mike: you know he was looking fastball with mcgee and mcgee just stole it. >> jon: mcgee gets the sign from buster posey. two strikes the count. foul ball. into the second deck. fastball right down the middle of the plate. >> mike: posey wanted that up above the letters. these last couple of outings mcgee has had he has not been able to locate that high pitch above the strike zone. that is a good strikeout pitch for him. >> jon: slider for the strikeout! >> mike: i think this is something that posey is learning from mcgee is if he's not able to get that high fastball up there, keep throwing that slider up there because they simply will not look for it. mcgee has got a reputation for throwing fastballs 90% of the time. so two sliders in the same at-bat, we haven't seen that in a while. >> jon

city and was signed in kansas city to come to brooklyn and play for the dodgers in the '40s. kansas city plays an important role in that history. but i think it was probably the very best, actually, both because of its history and just its physical qualities. >> is that the one where you said, though -- there were also funny things where they screw things up in these parks which i find amusing. >> yes, yes, yes. >> is that the one they had only one entrance and you couldn't get everyone in the ballpark at the time? there was a rotunda? >> there was a rotunda and it was designed too small. >> you could never get in. >> it would never pass the fire laws today in terms of people getting out. they did make some tweaks. >> to fix that. >> to fix that over time. they also forget a press box which is sort of interesting. but all that eventually got taken care of. but, you know, the early ballparks, while they were kind of grand beautiful buildings, also were creatures of circumstance. and they -- you know, their shapes were often determined by the streets of the neighborhood or by h
