Speaker 4: Thrilling win in the NLDS over the Fight and Phills.
Speaker 4: After a couple of days off, they're back at it
Speaker 4: tonight with Blake Snell opening up this series.
Speaker 5: On the mound.
Speaker 4: First Bitch coming up at five eight. Between then and now,
Speaker 4: we got a lot to get to here on Morongo
Speaker 4: Casino Dodgers on dec including hearing from Dodger manager Dave Robbers.
Speaker 4: We dive deeper into this game one pitching matchup as
Speaker 4: the Brewers are going with an opener.
Speaker 2: David Vassa will join us throughout the hour.
Speaker 4: He of course, will go one on one with Dodger
Speaker 4: catcher Will Smith. We've got your Dodgers magical moment. Shortly,
Speaker 4: we'll visit with Kirsten Watson from Sports in at LA,
Speaker 4: who you can see pre and post game during this postseason.
Speaker 4: In just a few minutes, we check in with Steven
Speaker 4: Nelson and Rick Monday out the Gallpin Motors Broadcast booth.
Speaker 2: Well.
Speaker 4: Tonight is Game one of the NLCS. The Dodgers were
Speaker 4: last in action last Thursday night out of Dodgers Stadium
Speaker 4: and a thriller against the Phillies in Game four of
Speaker 4: the NLDS. As the Dodgers were up in that series
Speaker 4: two games to one, looking to close it out. With
Speaker 4: Tyler Glass now on the mound against a really good
Speaker 4: leftender in Christopher Sanchez, they went toe to toe for
Speaker 4: six innings Sanchez six and a third, one run five
Speaker 4: hitch five strikeouts.
Speaker 2: Tyler Glass now six shutout innings.
Speaker 4: He gave up just two hits while striking out eight
Speaker 4: along the way. The phillies lone run came in the
Speaker 4: top half of the seventh inning off Image Shean, Castellanos
Speaker 4: and Rbi doubled down the left field line, scoring Kepler,
Speaker 4: and the Phillies grabbed a one nothing lead. But the
Speaker 4: Dodgers would answer back in the bottom of the seventh.
Speaker 4: They'd load the bases after an intentional walk to show hey.
Speaker 4: Otani put all the runners on for Mookie Betts, who
Speaker 4: drew a walk with the bases loaded that brought in
Speaker 4: the Tye run. The Dodgers and Phillies were tied at one.
Speaker 4: They went to extra innings. Roki Sasaki asked to go
Speaker 4: multiple innings, and he did three to be exact. Meanwhile,
Speaker 4: the Phillies bullpen continue to put up zeros until the
Speaker 4: bottom half of the eleventh inning, Dodgers got runners on base.
Speaker 4: And sometimes doesn't matter how hard you hit it, how
Speaker 4: far you hit it, It's just that you hit it.
Speaker 6: Heart rates through the roof the oh one pitch. PA
Speaker 6: has grounds it back to Kirkery. He can't find it,
Speaker 6: he tells home.
Speaker 7: It's wide ten scores and the Dodgers are going to
Speaker 7: the Championship Series.
Speaker 3: Fire Works go.
Speaker 2: Off in center field. The Dodgers celebrate your first.
Speaker 8: Base on a ground ball back to the pitcher.
Speaker 2: Andy pot has somehow gets the job done.
Speaker 4: Andy Pie has hit it sixty feet six inches right
Speaker 4: to Ryan Kirkeran who bobbled the ground ball. Then in
Speaker 4: a panic, instead of throwing the first for the final out,
Speaker 4: decided to go home with it on Kim Wash tailing
Speaker 4: it down the line, beat the throw which was high
Speaker 4: to the catcher as he comes in to score, and
Speaker 4: the Dodgers walk off the Phillies last Thursday night, advancing
Speaker 4: to this National League Championship Series.
Speaker 2: As the Dodgers ninety.
Speaker 4: Three wins during the regular season now go up against
Speaker 4: the Milwaukee Brewers, who had ninety seven wins, most in
Speaker 4: the National League during the regular season. And of course,
Speaker 4: that was the top tier play of the game, brought
Speaker 4: to by Arco quality, top tier gas for less. As
Speaker 4: the Dodgers get fueled up and ready to go now
Speaker 4: as they continue their postseason March now in Milwaukee for
Speaker 4: the NLCS, Blake Snell on the mound first pitch coming
Speaker 4: up at five ozo Waight and with more, let's head
Speaker 4: out to the Gallpin Motors broadcast booth as we welcome
Speaker 4: in Steven Nelson and Rick Monday.
Speaker 6: Guys, Tim Kats happy to join you from the good
Speaker 6: Land Game one of the National League Championship Series the
Speaker 6: Dodgers and Brewers. We've seen this postseason matchup before, Rick Monday.
Speaker 6: In twenty eighteen in the NLCS, the Brewers had home
Speaker 6: field advantage, came back home the three to two lead.
Speaker 6: The Dodgers won games six and seven to advance to
Speaker 6: the World Series. Then in twenty twenty in the wild
Speaker 6: Card round, the Dodgers swept these two teams. But this year,
Speaker 6: this Brewer's team the best record in Major League Baseball.
Speaker 6: They swept the season series from the Dodgers. This is
Speaker 6: going to be a tough test, even if most Dodger
Speaker 6: fans can't name a handful of players on that roster.
Speaker 7: Yeah, we talked Stephen in Philadelphia in the Division series
Speaker 7: about how loud that crowd was going to be. It
Speaker 7: was going to be the same way here before the game,
Speaker 7: we can say, well, the roof has been closed. There
Speaker 7: was some rain around the Milwaukee area, throughout the day.
Speaker 7: This is going to be a Rockers ground. It's been
Speaker 7: a while since the Brewers have gotten this far into
Speaker 7: postseason playing, and everybody sells the Brewers short. But then,
Speaker 7: as you mentioned, I mean, the best record in baseball,
Speaker 7: and they may be to some people. Is Pat Murphy,
Speaker 7: their managers is they may be the average joes, he said,
Speaker 7: but I look at him as woodpeckers. They just don't
Speaker 7: give up and they just continue to do it. And
Speaker 7: that's exactly what the Dodgers experienced because in losing those
Speaker 7: six games, yes that was in July, the Dodgers are
Speaker 7: not playing particularly well right. They also didn't have all
Speaker 7: other guys that were healthy either, but they were outscored
Speaker 7: thirty one runs to sixteen in that stretch. Did not
Speaker 7: sell the Brewers short at all.
Speaker 6: No, they had two win streaks this season of at
Speaker 6: least eleven games, and the Dodgers caught them during one
Speaker 6: of those hot streaks when they, as you mentioned, did
Speaker 6: not have a lot of the horses that are on
Speaker 6: the pitching staff incluting tonight's Game one starter. But it's
Speaker 6: an interesting contrast this championship series. Of course, you talk
Speaker 6: about market size, La against Milwaukee. You talk about payroll size,
Speaker 6: but really how these two teams play the games as well.
Speaker 6: The Dodgers, of course, led by their starting pitching. The Brewers,
Speaker 6: on the other hand, led by their bullpen. The Dodger
Speaker 6: offense built on slug the Brewer lineup that's built on
Speaker 6: playing small ball, doing all the fundamentals, the little things,
Speaker 6: being aggressive on the base pass, hitting with the runners
Speaker 6: in scoring position, getting the guy over. So I'm really
Speaker 6: excited to watch this series playout, but ultimately it feels
Speaker 6: like it could hinge on the Dodgers' ability to catch
Speaker 6: and throw the ball cleanland.
Speaker 7: Yeah, absolutely, because the Brewers, like the Dodgers, really did
Speaker 7: not beat themselves by making bad mistakes on the field,
Speaker 7: whether it be based running, swinging the bat. Swinging the
Speaker 7: bat also something the Dodgers a couple of guys need
Speaker 7: to figure some things out.
Speaker 5: Show.
Speaker 7: Hey, Otani did not have a good session. If you
Speaker 7: look at postseason so far, in particular against left handed pitching. Well,
Speaker 7: they've got a left he's going to open for them today.
Speaker 7: Ashby the left heam might be in there for one inning,
Speaker 7: maybe two at the most. But for this Dodger ball
Speaker 7: club from top to bottom. They were able to fill
Speaker 7: the spectrum of getting base hits, but I think more
Speaker 7: emphasis on getting hits than trying to go long bawl
Speaker 7: in this series.
Speaker 6: Yeah, we'll see what version of the Dodger offense shows
Speaker 6: up to start this NLCS ten. Because, of course, in
Speaker 6: a wild card round against the Reds, eighteen runs in
Speaker 6: two games on twenty eight hits. Well, in four games
Speaker 6: against the Phillies they had twenty eight hits in just
Speaker 6: thirteen runs.
Speaker 2: Score.
Speaker 6: It's going to take more than that if they're going
Speaker 6: to knock off the number one record in Major League Baseball.
Speaker 6: We'll get back to you a little bit later with
Speaker 6: some keys from mom.
Speaker 4: All right, thank you, Elli, as we cut you down
Speaker 4: to first pitch. Dodger fans, get.
Speaker 2: That game day meal on. It's Shaky's Pizza Parlo. Sounds good,

Speaker 4: Coming up here on Dodgers on Deck, you're gonna hear
Speaker 4: from the Dodger manager Dave Roberts get his Game one
Speaker 4: thoughts going into this series.
Speaker 2: We'll check in with our Dodger insider David Fassi.
Speaker 4: Of course, throughout the hour he'll go one on one
Speaker 4: with Dodger catcher Will Smith will break down this pitchy
Speaker 4: matchup as a Brewers go with a opener eight left
Speaker 4: handed opener up next though Sports Net LA's Kirsten Watson
Speaker 4: stops by as we lead you up to Dodgers and
Speaker 4: Brewers Game one of the twenty twenty five National League
Speaker 4: Championship Series. First pitcher, Milwaukee's coming up in five oh eight.
Speaker 4: Thanks for being with us. I'm Tim Kais is the
Speaker 4: world champion Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 1: This is Morongo Cassino Dodgers Hunt game on.
Speaker 3: Your home for LA Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 4: It's the Dodgers and the Brewers Game one of the
Speaker 4: National League Championship Series from Milwaukee. Blake's now on the
Speaker 4: mount in the series opener. First pitch coming up at
Speaker 4: five o eighth.
Speaker 1: This is Kirston's corner with Kirston Watson and.
Speaker 4: Kirson now joins us from Milwaukee. Brought to my Cars
Speaker 4: for Kids, Ready to donate that old car call he'd
Speaker 4: seven seven cars for kids right now, Friendly Asians standing
Speaker 4: by to take your donation. That's Cars with the k
Speaker 4: to donate your car. Today. Here we are Game one NLCS.
Speaker 4: The Dodgers a chance to reset their roster for this
Speaker 4: round and a little bit of a tweak to this
Speaker 4: twenty six man roster.
Speaker 2: Karson.
Speaker 9: Yeah. So in the Wildcard as well as the NLDS,
Speaker 9: the Dodgers were carrying three catchers. A lot of that
Speaker 9: was due to Will Smith, the health of his hand fracture.
Speaker 9: He's in a much better spot. He of course is
Speaker 9: starting behind the plate today, and so they felt confident
Speaker 9: that they were only going to need two catchers for
Speaker 9: this series. So they ultimately went with Will Smith and
Speaker 9: then Ben Rourtvett, who has been such a force where
Speaker 9: they're working with the pitching staff working behind the plate
Speaker 9: while will Smith was down. So they've got those two
Speaker 9: catchers behind the plate. Then, so with that they added
Speaker 9: an additional pitcher. Of course, this is a best of seven,
Speaker 9: so they added Ben Casparius. And for Ben this year,
Speaker 9: he started off it was excellent. He was a key
Speaker 9: arm out of the bullpen. It was available in high
Speaker 9: lover situations. Then when there were some injuries to the rotation,
Speaker 9: they kind of built him up a little bit more
Speaker 9: so that he could be a part of the rotation,
Speaker 9: and that's where he started to struggle. They sent him
Speaker 9: back to the bullpen, but there was a point where
Speaker 9: one of the keys for him was getting righties out
Speaker 9: and he just was really struggling facing against righty batters.
Speaker 9: So they sent him down, they optioned him, and with
Speaker 9: that they put a goal in mind and it was
Speaker 9: just to lock in, make a few adjustments, get back
Speaker 9: on track. And what Andrew Friedman said today, he said,
Speaker 9: we challenged him and he went down there and he
Speaker 9: did exactly what he needed to do to get back
Speaker 9: on track. So he's been staying hot. He's been a
Speaker 9: with this team, traveling during of course of the postseason.
Speaker 9: But he feels good and he's excited to be a
Speaker 9: part of this NLCS roster and being to get on
Speaker 9: that mound and be in a position in which he
Speaker 9: can contribute, be another rity out of the bullpen, but
Speaker 9: contribute in key moments that it seems like this team
Speaker 9: is going to meet, especially in a seven game series,
Speaker 9: Dodgers are going to.
Speaker 4: Need show Hayo Tani to contribute as well. He's pretty
Speaker 4: quiet in the NLDS got neutralized by their left handers
Speaker 4: in the Phillies lineup. But this series a little different
Speaker 4: with the Brewers and the Dodgers are gonna need him.
Speaker 9: Yeah, it is gonna look a little bit different. We
Speaker 9: knew in the NLDS going up against the Phillies they
Speaker 9: were going to throw a bunch of lefties out, and
Speaker 9: we knew it was going to be some of the
Speaker 9: best lefties in this league. They attacked show Hey A
Speaker 9: Tani honestly, I mean in their case beautifully. Even Andrew
Speaker 9: Friedman this afternoon was just saying, you know, you had
Speaker 9: really good pitchers who executed their pitches perfectly facing show
Speaker 9: Hey O Tani and so yes there was a swing
Speaker 9: of miss maybe there could have been some better pitch selection,
Speaker 9: but ultimately just show Hey just wasn't in a position
Speaker 9: to be successful due to who he was facing. Now
Speaker 9: he comes into the NLCS looking to get back on track.
Speaker 9: Dave Roberts talking about him today, and they feel confident
Speaker 9: within him, you know, for him, they believe that they
Speaker 9: just want to see some consistent and better at bats
Speaker 9: and some more consistent at bats. So for that, obviously,
Speaker 9: when it comes to this match with the Brewers are
Speaker 9: going with a lefty opener in Ashby. The hope it's
Speaker 9: gonna look a little bit different compared to the lefties
Speaker 9: we saw in the for the Phillies. But the hope
Speaker 9: is that Showhittani can get back on track. He is
Speaker 9: going to pitch at some point in this series. Is
Speaker 9: not going to be a part of the first two
Speaker 9: games today, of course, Blake Snell tomorrow, Yoshinobia on Moto,
Speaker 9: but there is a plan for him to pitch in
Speaker 9: this series where right now the hope is he can
Speaker 9: kind of just get things going offensively, get back on track,
Speaker 9: and they feel absolutely confident as to what she can do.
Speaker 9: And we know sometimes the show Hey, it just it
Speaker 9: really can take one to pitch, and that is going
Speaker 9: to be a home run that might actually go through
Speaker 9: the windows here because they're open. So hopefully he can
Speaker 9: do that, and we will talk about show Hey struggling anymore.
Speaker 9: That'll be the end of it.
Speaker 4: It's good show Hey. Back on track is the Dodgers.
Speaker 4: Good things will happen after that, but right here and
Speaker 4: we appreciate it. Well, check in with you after the
Speaker 4: game still to come here on Marongo Casino Dodgers on Deck,
Speaker 4: we will hear from David vesse. He goes one on
Speaker 4: one with Dodger catcher Will Smith. But up next we'll
Speaker 4: hear from the manager Dave Roberts. Get his pregame thoughts
Speaker 4: as we leads up to Game one of the National
Speaker 4: League Championship Series Dodgers and Brewers from Milwaukee.
Speaker 2: I'm Tim Kats and this.
Speaker 4: Is the world champion Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 1: This is Marongo Casino Dodgers on deck on your home
Speaker 1: for the blue all season long.
Speaker 4: Marongo Casino Dodgers on Deck, continues says. We leads up
Speaker 4: to first pitch, Game one of the National League Championship Series,
Speaker 4: Dodgers in Milwaukee taking on the Brewers, Marongo Casino Resort
Speaker 4: and Spa a Grand Slam for a good time. Is
Speaker 4: Blake Snell on the mound for the Dodgers in the
Speaker 4: series opener, first pitch coming up at five oh eight.
Speaker 2: Anything questions for Dave?
Speaker 10: Dave?
Speaker 3: Can you just describe Dave?
Speaker 2: Can you talk about the pressure.
Speaker 3: In the dugouts with Dave Robberts?
Speaker 11: Dave pat Murphy has not been shy about describing his
Speaker 11: team as the underdog in this series. I think he
Speaker 11: joked today he wasn't sure if most of your players
Speaker 11: could name a Brewers. Has this been a concern at
Speaker 11: all for you, just in the way these teams are
Speaker 11: give you perception wise publicly that you guys are taking
Speaker 11: them lately at all.
Speaker 10: No, No, not of not a concern at all. That's
Speaker 10: just kind of how Murphy is. He tries to get
Speaker 10: into psyche and he's telling his team the opposite right
Speaker 10: in the clubhouse behind closed stores, so we know the act.
Speaker 10: He's gonna have his guys prepared. But no, we're prepared.
Speaker 10: We're playing good baseball and we expect the same out
Speaker 10: of those guys and all that. You know, the talk
Speaker 10: isn't going to really factor in the you know, once
Speaker 10: the game starts.
Speaker 11: And then teams make a lot of errors against these
Speaker 11: guys with the way they play. What is it about
Speaker 11: what they do the kind of leads to that, how
Speaker 11: do you guys kind of get your guys prepared to
Speaker 11: try to avoid some of that defensively?
Speaker 10: Yeah, I think what it is starts with is they
Speaker 10: give a hard ninety, They run hard, they give a
Speaker 10: good effort, They try to be opportunistic on the bases,
Speaker 10: take the extra base. The batter runner is always aggressive,
Speaker 10: as a trail runner, and so with that, it puts
Speaker 10: a little bit more pressure on the defense to be
Speaker 10: sure handed, to be a little bit quicker, and so
Speaker 10: we're certainly prepared for that and understand that's how they
Speaker 10: play and that's the way you're supposed to play.
Speaker 9: Sonya, second round, Dave, what was kind of behind the
Speaker 9: decision to add Casparius and then remove Rushing from the roster.
Speaker 10: You know, with the rushing piece, we felt that Will
Speaker 10: is in a good spot to feel that we don't
Speaker 10: need to protect him to have a third catcher with Ben,
Speaker 10: we just felt that having another right hander to sort
Speaker 10: of be able to, you know, take down a certain
Speaker 10: part of their lineup if needed. And Ben was pitching
Speaker 10: the World Series last year, so he's got some experience
Speaker 10: as well.
Speaker 4: All Right, there's the manager, Dave Roberts talking about the
Speaker 4: twenty six man roster. A couple of tweaks from the
Speaker 4: NLDS now to the NLCS where we continue here. I'm
Speaker 4: Roco Casino, Dodgers on deck. We will check in with
Speaker 4: the David Vasse. Mister Milwaukee joins us next. So we
Speaker 4: lead you up to first pitch, Dodgers and Brewers game
Speaker 4: one of the NLCS. Some Tim Kas's World champion Los
Speaker 4: Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 1: As we were saying, yes, it's Marongo Casino Dodgers on
Speaker 1: deck on the official home of La Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 4: It's the Dodgers and the Brewers, game one of the
Speaker 4: National Leg Championships Series. Blake Snell on the mountain for
Speaker 4: the Dodgers. Left hander Aaron Ashby will be the opener
Speaker 4: for the Brewers. First pitch coming up at.
Speaker 3: Five o eight, joining Tim Kay Dodgers on deck.
Speaker 12: I accept everybody for who they are.
Speaker 3: This is Dodger insider David Bassi.
Speaker 4: Or a DV less than an hour away from first pitch.
Speaker 4: What's it like there at American Family Field?
Speaker 12: Well, first and foremost, the roof will be closed for
Speaker 12: the first two games of the NLCS. Major League Baseball
Speaker 12: dictates that it was a little rainy and cold this afternoon,
Speaker 12: same as expected.
Speaker 5: Tomorrow, so the roof is closed.
Speaker 12: But unlike Chase Field in Arizona, the panels in the
Speaker 12: outfield don't exist here an American Family Field. Those are
Speaker 12: wide open windows, so the chill of the outdoor air
Speaker 12: is permeating inside American Family Field and the fans are
Speaker 12: starting to get into their seats. It's expected to be
Speaker 12: a sellout crowds.
Speaker 5: But I gotta be honest with you.
Speaker 12: Tim, not as much buzz here in Milwaukee as there
Speaker 12: was for Game one in Philadelphia. I guess it's just
Speaker 12: the kinder, gentler Midwest folk out here.
Speaker 2: They are nicer people than people in Philadelphia.
Speaker 5: Doubt Dames were city in Philadelphia.
Speaker 4: Davis brought to you by Ford. It's time to see
Speaker 4: Ford in a new light, all right, Dbie. What was
Speaker 4: the keys to the Dodgers to win this series as
Speaker 4: opposed to maybe last series in Philadelphia?
Speaker 2: Or is it still the same?
Speaker 5: No, it's much different.
Speaker 12: The Phillies were all about pitching and the Dodgers were
Speaker 12: able to grind out, you know, enough runs to beat
Speaker 12: the Phillies in a four game series. This is much different.
Speaker 12: The Dodgers are expecting o'tani and Freeman to do some
Speaker 12: damage against the Milwaukee right handers. The danger here, and
Speaker 12: the Dodgers got a taste of it in July when
Speaker 12: they lost six games and ten days to Milwaukee. Was
Speaker 12: just the tenacious base running that the Brewers' identity is.
Speaker 12: And talking to Miguel Rojas earlier this afternoon talking to
Speaker 12: Will Smith and Dino Ebel as well. They're all very
Speaker 12: aware of the fact what the Brewers like to do.
Speaker 12: If there's a runner on base, it's not just about
Speaker 12: the lead runner, it's about the runner that is, the
Speaker 12: batted runner, the trail runner. He'll try to take an
Speaker 12: extra base as well. So the way Miguel Rojas described
Speaker 12: it to me is the outfielders cannot just field a
Speaker 12: basic casually. They've got to be on their toes to
Speaker 12: be able to get that ball to the infield as
Speaker 12: quickly as possible. Expect, you know, the trail runner to
Speaker 12: want to take an extra ninety feet, and that's the
Speaker 12: way the Brewers score their runs.
Speaker 5: They take extra bases.
Speaker 12: The way I understand it from the Dodgers scouting report,
Speaker 12: they'll take extra bases when you least expect it.
Speaker 5: But the Dodgers are very prepared.
Speaker 12: And I'm sure you've heard this Tim as well, that
Speaker 12: the Brewers have forced opposing teams to make the most
Speaker 12: errors in their games. But the Dodgers are a veteran group.
Speaker 12: They know what to expect. They're very prepared. They just
Speaker 12: have got to go out there and execute.
Speaker 4: The narrative of this series, David is the big bad
Speaker 4: Dodgers from LA against the small, little average Joe's of
Speaker 4: the Milwaukee Brewers.
Speaker 2: And they're certainly playing this underdog role, aren't they.
Speaker 12: Yeah, their manager Pat Murphy, who has a background in
Speaker 12: college baseball, is really playing up that angle so much
Speaker 12: so it's starting to get a little annoying. Here's what
Speaker 12: he said this afternoon about the Dodgers, and they're so
Speaker 12: called no name Brewers.
Speaker 13: I'm sure that most Dodger players can't name eight guys
Speaker 13: on our roster, you know, no offense to them. They
Speaker 13: shouldn't have to know the names. But you know, these
Speaker 13: are these are some guys that hopefully they know their
Speaker 13: names by the time it's over.
Speaker 12: I can assure you the Dodgers know the Brewers players' names.
Speaker 12: It's called a scattering report. Pat Murphy, the Dodgers got
Speaker 12: one as well. His whole pregame press conference is somewhat entertaining,
Speaker 12: but also in some way very controlling, trying to have
Speaker 12: media members introduce themselves if it's the first time in
Speaker 12: a Pat Murphy press I'm not playing that game. Tim
Speaker 12: and I have not gone into his press conference and look,
Speaker 12: the Brewers are the team with the best record in
Speaker 12: the National League. Everybody knows about their scrappy little guys.
Speaker 2: If he does ask for your name, give m a
Speaker 2: fake name, David, just give it a completely different name.
Speaker 12: I might say Andre Eathier. They finched him at Arizona State.
Speaker 12: He loves to play that game.
Speaker 2: I love it, all right, David. We'll check back in
Speaker 2: with you just a couple of minutes.
Speaker 4: I also gonna hear from Charlie Steiner coming up it
Speaker 4: just a little bit as well as we continue here
Speaker 4: on Marongo, because you know, Dodgers on deck will dive
Speaker 4: deeper into this pitching matchup.
Speaker 2: But I'm next your Dodgers magical moment. Don't go anywhere.
Speaker 4: Lead You have to Game one of the National League
Speaker 4: Championship Series Dodgers and the Brewers, first pitching five. Oh wait,
Speaker 4: I'm Tim Kass, the world champion Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 1: This is Morongo Casino Dodgers Hunters game on your home
Speaker 1: for La Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 4: It's the Dodgers and the Milwaukee Brewers the National League
Speaker 4: Championship Series. Blake Snell on the mound for the Blue
Speaker 4: left hander Aaron Ashby will serve as the opener for Milwaukee.
Speaker 4: First pitch of five oh eight.
Speaker 2: Not a ball name without.
Speaker 6: A hot dog?
Speaker 5: Who wants a hot gun?
Speaker 3: It's time for the Hawfy Magical Moment.
Speaker 1: It's Magical presented by Hawfey hot Dogs.
Speaker 4: Well the Dodgers taking on the Brewers in the NLCS.
Speaker 4: We go back to to the twenty eighteen NLCS, the
Speaker 4: seventh anniversary to the day. How about that October thirteenth,
Speaker 4: twenty eighteen. It was Game two in Milwaukee when Justin
Speaker 4: Turner went yard.
Speaker 5: Two balls, had no strikes.
Speaker 8: Taylor leads from first, Jeffers deliveries fly ball the left.
Speaker 5: It's on its way and it is gone. A home
Speaker 5: run for Justin Turner.
Speaker 8: When they needed a home run the most, they turned
Speaker 8: to Turner a two run shot and the Dodgers take
Speaker 8: a four to three lead.

Speaker 4: series and head to the World Series for a meeting

Speaker 4: Game one of the National League Championship Series. I'm Tim
Speaker 4: Kats's the world champion Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 1: This is Marongo Casino Dodgers on tap.
Speaker 3: On your home for the Blue all season long.
Speaker 4: Lean you up to Game one of the National League
Speaker 4: Championship Series from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It's the Dodgers and the Brewers,
Speaker 4: a rematch of the twenty eighteen NLCS. It's the Dodgers one.
Speaker 4: Blake Snell on the Mountain, the series opener. Leftender Aaron
Speaker 4: Ashby will be the opener for Milwaukee. First pitch coming
Speaker 4: up at five eight. As we're a little bit more
Speaker 4: than thirty minutes away from the start of the game.
Speaker 4: Time now for the Verizon startup. Now Verizon, you can
Speaker 4: lock in your low price for three years so you
Speaker 4: can save big. Visit the Verizon Store today, turn things over.
Speaker 2: Charlie Steiner.
Speaker 5: All right, Tim is game one of.
Speaker 2: The Scully Uker Bowl.
Speaker 8: I imagine if you believe in that sort of thing,
Speaker 8: Vin and you are gonna watch this game this afternoon
Speaker 8: and tonight from the best seats in the house.
Speaker 3: It's game one.
Speaker 8: Mo Much has been made about the fact that the
Speaker 8: Brewers won all six of their meetings against the Dodgers.
Speaker 8: That was back in July, and it's a different Dodger team.
Speaker 8: Michael Confordo's not here now, James Autman, the story of
Speaker 8: Ruis and several others. So to make a big deal
Speaker 8: out of that six tozero deficit the Dodgers face during
Speaker 8: the regular season seems to be overstated.
Speaker 7: Yeah, Jaring a good point because there was also some
Speaker 7: guys that were injured, including tonight's starting pitcher, that being
Speaker 7: Blake Snell. He was not active, he was on the
Speaker 7: injured list during the month of July. Yes, the Dodgers
Speaker 7: did not play well in the series here in the
Speaker 7: Milwaukee or at home with Dodgers Stadium for that matter.
Speaker 7: Outscore thirty one runs to sixteen in losing those six
Speaker 7: games to the Brewers. So you can make the fact, Yeah,
Speaker 7: it's a slightly different Brewers team. It's obviously a much
Speaker 7: different Dodgers team because some guys are healthy. But they
Speaker 7: fully understand. For the Brewers, you know, don't take that
Speaker 7: line seriously where they say, well, they're just average joes.
Speaker 7: You have the best record in Major League Baseball this year.
Speaker 7: They're better than average, and they will just actually run
Speaker 7: you out of the ballpark. They don't make many mistakes,
Speaker 7: and their bullpend has been terrific this year.
Speaker 8: Milwaukee says it it's way with one hundred wins during
Speaker 8: the season, the Dodgers had ninety eight. You mentioned Blake Snell,
Speaker 8: who missed quite a bit of time this year with
Speaker 8: the shoulder, but down the stretch, he has been remarkable
Speaker 8: in his last five starts, clearly regular season four and
Speaker 8: oh a point eighty four Er opponents sitting won thirty
Speaker 8: one against him, and he has really become the certified
Speaker 8: ace of this staff down the stretch.
Speaker 7: And in the rest conference yesterday after the Dodgers flew
Speaker 7: in from Los Angeles, he was asked specifically, well, what
Speaker 7: do you know about the Brewers? How'd you prepare for him?
Speaker 7: You didn't fitch against him, earlier this year, did you
Speaker 7: ask your teammates about them? And his answer was no,
Speaker 7: I didn't ask anybody. I looked at video and I've
Speaker 7: been watching, and he says, a very talented team. He
Speaker 7: says they will also steal bases. He says, the trick
Speaker 7: is to keep them off the bases to begin with.
Speaker 7: And if we look at the last outing that the
Speaker 7: snell head he was at one time, it was over
Speaker 7: seventeen batters against him, and his changeup was absolutely sensational,
Speaker 7: working very well. And we'll find out how it works tonight.
Speaker 7: Couple up with a fastball that could run right by
Speaker 7: if you're looking for off speed as a hitter.
Speaker 8: So the Dodgers send their ace out Blakes. Now nobody's
Speaker 8: been bettered down the stretch, and Milwaukee counters with a
Speaker 8: bullpen game beginning with Aaron Ashby.
Speaker 7: Yeah, And for Ashby, is he going to be there
Speaker 7: for one inning? Is it going to be for two innings?
Speaker 7: Don't really know. He's been kind of a different story
Speaker 7: at home where his ERA is under one and a
Speaker 7: half versus on the road. Still not bad on the road,
Speaker 7: it's just barely above three. But he's also a guy
Speaker 7: that if you look at the strikeouts, and he has
Speaker 7: seventy six strikeouts this year. A lot of hitters evidently
Speaker 7: have been fulled because thirty three of those seventy six
Speaker 7: strikeouts are called strike three. So the Dodgers need to
Speaker 7: understand where the corners of the plate are located. And
Speaker 7: the other thing that Ashby does keeps the ball down
Speaker 7: very well.
Speaker 8: Now to the bullpen, which was a big question mark
Speaker 8: going in. That was until the discovery of rookie Sasaki,
Speaker 8: who has changed the dynamic of only everything.
Speaker 7: And including the fact that he can work multiple innings
Speaker 7: if called upon him because he was stretched out as
Speaker 7: a starter. The other little difference is that Ben Casparious
Speaker 7: now is active on the roster for this series. And
Speaker 7: they said, well, he was coming back, looked pretty good.
Speaker 7: Then he stumbled a little bit. They worked on the delivery.
Speaker 7: Evidently that has helped him come back. He's raring to go.
Speaker 7: He's here and he's activated for this.
Speaker 8: Roster Game one, best of seven National League Championship Series.
Speaker 8: The Dodgers and the Brewers are in Milwaukee in just

Speaker 12: Does this ever get lost on you that what you've
Speaker 12: done in your career. Not a lot of players get
Speaker 12: an opportunity to be part of the postseason every season.
Speaker 15: Yeah, it's it's it's special. You know, I'm fortunate to
Speaker 15: be the Dodgers. You know, we're in a spot we're
Speaker 15: good every year, so we get to play in these
Speaker 15: late late October games. Trying to do it again this year,
Speaker 15: trying to, you know, have a good series against the Brewers.
Speaker 15: They're a good team, come out and eliminate them and
Speaker 15: move on.
Speaker 14: To the World Series.
Speaker 12: Other Dodgers have told me how much they love hitting
Speaker 12: in this ballpark. What is it about this ballpark that
Speaker 12: makes it so hit her friendly?
Speaker 15: I don't know, I've I don't know, honestly, I don't
Speaker 15: know so hitter friendly. But got a good place to hit.
Speaker 15: You can see the ball well here, I don't know.
Speaker 15: They got some good arms there though. They throw the
Speaker 15: ball hard, so it'll be it'll be a good test.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 15: I don't know the reason, I really don't, but yeah,
Speaker 15: it's yeah, it's a good backdrop over there.
Speaker 12: Well, this Brewers team puts the ball in play a lot.
Speaker 12: They forced the issue, taking the extra base, stealing bases.
Speaker 12: They've the National League and stealing bases this year. How
Speaker 12: much is that in the back of your mind and
Speaker 12: putting it in the forefront of pitcher's minds.
Speaker 14: Yeah, it's it's definitely. Know what they're good at.
Speaker 15: They do the little things well, they take the extra base,
Speaker 15: they they keep pressure on.
Speaker 14: The other team. So uh, yeah, we're gonna have to do.
Speaker 15: Our best to you know, slow them down, keep them
Speaker 15: off the bases. Now let them go to that extra
Speaker 15: ninety feet. But yeah, we just gotta play good baseball.
Speaker 15: You know, pitcher's gotta pitch, give me a chance to
Speaker 15: throw them out if they go, you know, make make
Speaker 15: the plays in the field and not give them any
Speaker 15: extra any extra bases.
Speaker 12: I know every situation dictates what's more important than another.
Speaker 12: But how important is it to try to control them
Speaker 12: and stealing bases?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 14: Yeah, ninety feet is huge.
Speaker 15: You know, you go from first to second, you're a
Speaker 15: score position in base Knock is a run, so it's big.
Speaker 15: We gotta cut them down. You know, pitches gotta be quick,
Speaker 15: but they still gotta make their pitches, and you know,
Speaker 15: I gotta make a good throw MOOKI r Moki or
Speaker 15: Tommy or Miggey, whoever's out there, it's gotta get a
Speaker 15: good tag.
Speaker 14: So it'll be tough. But uh, you know, I feel
Speaker 14: like we've done pretty pretty job of.
Speaker 3: It this year.
Speaker 12: Everybody's gonna point to the fact they beat you all
Speaker 12: six times this year, But how different is this Dodger
Speaker 12: team compared to the one that they saw in July
Speaker 12: six times and ten days.
Speaker 15: Yeah, they maybe it's pretty handley. That was that was
Speaker 15: kind of our roughest stretch was right around them. But
Speaker 15: they're good too. Yeah, we've got to play good baseball.
Speaker 15: You know it's going to start with uh, Blake the
Speaker 15: office to good start and uh, yeah, I try to
Speaker 15: win Game one.
Speaker 12: Blake Snell has really shown what he's all about in
Speaker 12: the first couple of starts in the postseason. What have
Speaker 12: you seen from him just in these handful of starts
Speaker 12: that you've caught.
Speaker 14: Yeah, he's he's been dominant.
Speaker 15: I only call it the one inning for him from
Speaker 15: in Philly, but uh, just watching him again Cincinnati, watching
Speaker 15: mister Phillies in early in that series, it was it
Speaker 15: was it was awesome, man, it was. It was impressive
Speaker 15: what he was doing. It's he's mixing pitches. He's just
Speaker 15: making pitches. He's executing, getting ahead of guys, putting guys away,
Speaker 15: missing barrels.
Speaker 14: It's it's been fun to watch.
Speaker 12: Early in a start. Can you tell when he's on?
Speaker 12: Is it about the fastball command up in the zone?
Speaker 12: Is it the change up? What is it that tells you, Okay,
Speaker 12: he's got it tonight.
Speaker 15: Ah, he's usually pretty on. You know, usually the stuff's there,
Speaker 15: he's making pitches. But yeah, it's just a command. It's
Speaker 15: how it's how the hitters are reacting to it. Yeah,
Speaker 15: just just mixing speeds, keep him off balance, being unpredictable,
Speaker 15: putting guys away, and you know, getting Alice and putting
Speaker 15: on zeros.
Speaker 5: Before I let you go.
Speaker 12: It seems like the talk about your right hand has
Speaker 12: quite it quite a bit. Is that just a product
Speaker 12: of the fact that it's not affecting you.
Speaker 14: Yeah, it's feeling good.
Speaker 15: It's feeling good, no worries at all, still doing you know,
Speaker 15: the daily treatment all that, So it's feeling good.
Speaker 14: But yeah, we're in a really good spot right now.

Speaker 4: The other forty two appearances whereas a traditional reliever out
Speaker 4: of the bullpen. In the postseason, this is his fifth
Speaker 4: appearance and it's his second time serving as an opener.
Speaker 4: Don't expect him to be out there too long, as
Speaker 4: they are going with the left hander against the Dodgers'
Speaker 4: top three batters. Blake Snell. Hello, he's on the mound
Speaker 4: for the Dodgers. Thirty two year old left hander with
Speaker 4: spectacular September, going two to one with a two to

Speaker 4: He made just eleven starts this year, again to the
Speaker 4: shoulder injury he suffered. Came off the il on August
Speaker 4: second and had a two to forty one ERA sixty
Speaker 4: eight strikeouts in fifty two and a third inning. Since then,
Speaker 4: he allowed two runs in seven ams while notching his
Speaker 4: fifth career postseason victory in Game one of the NL
Speaker 4: Wild Card Series against the Reds, then followed that up
Speaker 4: with a six shutout any performance against the Phillies in
Speaker 4: Game two of the NLDS where he picked up the win.
Speaker 4: He's two to zero with a one thirty eight ERA
Speaker 4: in eighteen strikeouts of this postseason fourteen career postseason games,

Speaker 4: the five nine or five seventy ninety ray seven walks
Speaker 4: twenty two strikeouts. He last took them mount against the
Speaker 4: Milwaukee Brewers as a member of the Giants back in
Speaker 4: twenty twenty four. This is his second career start at
Speaker 4: American Family Field. Blake Snell, Aaron Ashby Dodgers Brewers. We
Speaker 4: are fifteen minutes away from Game one of the National
Speaker 4: League Championship Series. Keys to the game are next donk
Speaker 4: go Anywhere. I'm Tim Kass, the world champion Los Angeles
Speaker 4: Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 1: This is Marongo Casino Dodgers on Tap on your Home
Speaker 1: for the Blue All Season Law.
Speaker 4: It's the Dodgers and Brewers Game one of the twenty
Speaker 4: twenty five National League Championships Series.
Speaker 2: Blake Snell going for the Blue.
Speaker 4: Left Hander Aaron Ashby will get the start as the
Speaker 4: opener for the Brewers in this game. One first pitch
Speaker 4: come out up at five eight. Before that, though, we
Speaker 4: head back out to the booth one final time. The
Speaker 4: two guys on the call, Stephen Nelson and Rick Monday, guys, all.
Speaker 6: Right, thank you TC Back here with Rick Monday. First pitch,
Speaker 6: rapidly approaching inside the ballpark formerly known as Miller Park
Speaker 6: and how Am Fam Field in Milwaukee. The side of
Speaker 6: games one and two, potentially six and seven of this
Speaker 6: National League Championship Series, the Dodgers will throw up Blake
Speaker 6: Snell to make his third postseason start as a Dodger.
Speaker 6: The Brewers are going to go with an opener, a
Speaker 6: left handed opener in Aaron Ashby, who was very busy
Speaker 6: in the Division series against the Chicago Cubs. So mo,
Speaker 6: if someone were to ask you, like I'm doing right now,
Speaker 6: give me a key or two or three, what would
Speaker 6: you say?
Speaker 13: You know?
Speaker 7: I think for Blake Snell to change up. I mentioned
Speaker 7: that because the change up against the Phillies was actually magnificent.
Speaker 7: At one point in time, he retired seventeen batters in
Speaker 7: a row, not only the changeup, but also the curve ball.
Speaker 7: He kept hitters off balance. He was asked yesterday in
Speaker 7: the press conference, well, what about the Brewers not pitch
Speaker 7: against them earlier this year he was still injured. He says,
Speaker 7: but I've watched games. I know what they can do.
Speaker 7: I know what they can't do. And he also says,
Speaker 7: I know who runs who doesn't run in the situation ballgames.
Speaker 7: And I mentioned that because from top to bottom this
Speaker 7: Brewers team, as you mentioned earlier, they are aggressive. They
Speaker 7: will pick spots and they're going to try and force mistakes.
Speaker 6: The Brewers had the most stolen bases in all the
Speaker 6: National League with one hundred and sixty four and something
Speaker 6: to keep in mind, Mow the Dodger bulpen has allowed
Speaker 6: the most stolen bases in baseball this year. They have
Speaker 6: a handful of guys who really struggle holding the run game. Now,
Speaker 6: Blake Snell said, the first thing, first and foremost, just
Speaker 6: keep them off the bases. That's easier said than done,
Speaker 6: because they also put the ball in play. They led
Speaker 6: the league in infield hits.
Speaker 7: Yeah, no question about it. They have some speed on
Speaker 7: this ball club, and they're not afraid to take something
Speaker 7: off the swing to try and put it into play.
Speaker 7: And I think the Dodgers also, if they overshift defensively,
Speaker 7: I think the Brewers are going to try and go
Speaker 7: the opposite way and stacks singles back to back to
Speaker 7: back and then use the speed on top of it.
Speaker 6: Seven years later, the Dodgers and Brewers meet in the
Speaker 6: Championship Series in the National League. In twenty eighteen, they did.
Speaker 6: The Dodgers won in seven games. Only six players total
Speaker 6: remain from those two clubs, three on each side, Max Muncy,
Speaker 6: Key Key Hernandez, and Clayton Kershoff for the Dodgers. Christian
Speaker 6: Yelich Freddie Peralta and the injured Brandon Woodruff for the
Speaker 6: Milwaukee Brewers. Game one from Milwaukee. First pitch coming up quickly?
Speaker 2: All right, who's ready?
Speaker 4: Game one of the NLCS Dodgers a couple of days off, rested,
Speaker 4: ready to go as they take the field tonight against
Speaker 4: the Milwaukee Brewers. Game one of this Best is seven
Speaker 4: series to see who goes to the World Series begins
Speaker 4: next from Milwaukee. This has been Moronco Casino Dodgers on deck.
Speaker 4: I'm the world champion. Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network
