Speaker 2: One of the greatest runs in the history of baseball.
Speaker 1: Immortality is within their reach.
Speaker 3: Incredible and while others make excuses.
Speaker 4: The only reason the Dodgers are doing this because they
Speaker 4: can they print money.
Speaker 1: The Dodgers just can't continue.
Speaker 5: It's not fair.
Speaker 1: Are making plans.
Speaker 6: Look yeah, it's a singular focus on controlling what they
Speaker 6: can control.

Speaker 5: few minutes out to the galloping Ford Broadcast booth with
Speaker 5: Steven Nelson and Rick Monday.
Speaker 7: Well.
Speaker 5: Last night, it was a rocky start for Rokie, but
Speaker 5: turned into a dominating Dodgers win. Rookie Sasaki got the start.
Speaker 5: The young right hander was hit hard. Padres jumped out
Speaker 5: to an early two to nothing lead in the first
Speaker 5: and pushed it to a six to nothing lead in
Speaker 5: the second. Manny Machado, Jackson, Merril g Cronaworth all tee
Speaker 5: it off on Sasaki. Rookie losted just three innings, gave
Speaker 5: up six runs on seven hits, including the three home runs.
Speaker 5: The Dodgers found themselves in a big hole to dig
Speaker 5: out of. They were down six to nothing, but they
Speaker 5: slowly chipped away. Bottom of the second, Dalton Rushing.
Speaker 8: First time in two years a Dodgers starter, he's given
Speaker 8: up six or more runs in the first two innings
Speaker 8: of the game. It was a fly ball the deep
Speaker 8: bleck center field heading on back to the war and
Speaker 8: it is gone.
Speaker 9: A two run home run for Dalton Rushing.
Speaker 1: So his hot hit, he continued.
Speaker 8: The Dodgers were on the board six to two, San Diego.
Speaker 9: Well they've got to chip away, man, That's exactly what
Speaker 9: they have done now to.
Speaker 5: Run home run for Dalton Rushing, his tenth of the year.
Speaker 5: Dodgers on the board down six to two. Then in
Speaker 5: the third, Max Munsey and RBI double Dodgers down six
Speaker 5: to three. Kyle Tucker and RBI single, Dodgers down six
Speaker 5: to four. You see where I'm going with this. Dodgers
Speaker 5: would chase Padre starter Randy Vasquez, but then they really
Speaker 5: got after the Padres bullpit in the fourth against Wandy
Speaker 5: bar Walta, first two Dodgers reached two batters later, Andy
Speaker 5: Paz a two run double down the left field line
Speaker 5: that tied the game at six. The Dodgers weren't done.
Speaker 5: Two batters later, Mookie.
Speaker 8: Monthsly on deck two and two Bets bangs went into
Speaker 8: left center piel.
Speaker 1: That's gonna be and a hit.
Speaker 10: That's gonna roll over the wall in the score.
Speaker 8: Is pa Hez arriving at second base with the stand
Speaker 8: up double Mookie bets and the Dodgers take a seven
Speaker 8: to six lead.
Speaker 5: Here the more they ain't that's what they did. RBI
Speaker 5: double for Mookie. That's the top tier play of the game,
Speaker 5: brought to by Arco Quality, top tier gas for less.
Speaker 5: Dodgers grabbed a seven to six lead, and they still
Speaker 5: weren't done. In the inning. Next batter, Max Mounts the
Speaker 5: RBI single. Dodgers completely flipped the scoreboard with four runs
Speaker 5: on six hits in the fourth inning to take an
Speaker 5: eight to six lead, and the Dodgers' offense continue two
Speaker 5: more in the fifth on the tom of he Edmond
Speaker 5: RBI double. Then he scored on a wild pitch. In
Speaker 5: the sixth tallon rush sack fly squorter run, and the
Speaker 5: eight Dalton rushing RBI singles squared a run Dodgers a
Speaker 5: twelve to six lead. The Dodgers bullpen also did their
Speaker 5: part Brock Stewart at Gardo Enriquez, Tanner, Scott Alex Vesio
Speaker 5: Will Kline combined to shut the door, throwing five and
Speaker 5: a third scoreless innings After Sasaki's rocky start, Dodgers go
Speaker 5: on to win at twelve to seven, overcoming a six
Speaker 5: to nothing deficit. Dalton rushing Kyle Socker each with four
Speaker 5: hits apiece. Will Klein gets the winning relief. Dodgers, with
Speaker 5: the win, improved to a major league best fifty seven
Speaker 5: and thirty one on this season, and now they have
Speaker 5: a commanding thirteen game lead in the NL West. Tonight,
Speaker 5: Dodgers look to do it again. Show Hey Otani on
Speaker 5: the Mount Hill also DH first pitch at seven ten
Speaker 5: and with more We head out to the Gaping four
Speaker 5: broadcast with as we say hello to Stephen Nelson and
Speaker 5: Rick Monday.
Speaker 2: Guys, All right, Tim, Happy fourth of July weekend to
Speaker 2: you and everybody tuning in with us on the Dodgers
Speaker 2: Audio Network MO. The Dodgers kicked off this four game
Speaker 2: sitting against the Padres with one of the more thrilling
Speaker 2: victories of the yearly fall down six nothing, then they
Speaker 2: score the next twelve runs on route to a twelve
Speaker 2: seven win. It's the largest comeback they've had all year.
Speaker 9: Yeah, well, the Dodgers have really kind of set precedents too.
Speaker 9: If you look at recent games, Stephen and how they've
Speaker 9: been able to score runs. I mean, it's incredible what
Speaker 9: they've done. In fact, the last ten games the Dodgers
Speaker 9: have played, they've ounscored the opposing teams sixty four runs
Speaker 9: to forty one. But they have helped create scoring opportunities
Speaker 9: day in and day out. Oh, there's been a couple
Speaker 9: of cluckers in there, but overall, I mean, how can
Speaker 9: you argue with a thirteen game lead in front of
Speaker 9: both Arizona and San Diego now in the Western Division
Speaker 9: of the National League.
Speaker 2: Can't argue with it at all. Was the first time
Speaker 2: since May thirteenth, nineteen fifty one that the Dodgers trailed
Speaker 2: the game by at least six runs and then won
Speaker 2: that same game by at least five runs. And the
Speaker 2: offense is on some kind of terrible seventeen hits that
Speaker 2: matches the season high. Of course, they've done that a bunch.
Speaker 2: It's the sixth time that's happened this year, and four
Speaker 2: times in the last nine games.
Speaker 9: You know, what I really like is the fact that
Speaker 9: the offense now and we've talked to this for a
Speaker 9: number of years, this isn't just this year the selection
Speaker 9: of pitches from a hitting standpoint with the opportunity to
Speaker 9: score runs to create havoc for the other ball club.
Speaker 9: But this is a ball club too that if you
Speaker 9: look at recent games from top to bottom of the lineup,
Speaker 9: it's not just one section of the lineup. Is really
Speaker 9: they kind of gang up on you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I think the most encouraging parts of last
Speaker 2: night's performance offensively were what the Dodgers saw in the
Speaker 2: six and eight spots of the or that's Kyle Tucker
Speaker 2: and that's Dalton Rushing, And today they are in those
Speaker 2: same spots, Tucker batting six and Dalton Rushing batting eight.
Speaker 2: Have those guys be perfect at the plate when this
Speaker 2: season has gone anything but perfectly, Hopefully is the sign
Speaker 2: of things to come for those two.
Speaker 9: Well, it's easy to say there's better swings, but there's
Speaker 9: no offens and mutch about it. We've seen now the
Speaker 9: last two or three games Kyle Tucker take much better swings.
Speaker 9: Dalton Rushing last night I think he put on a clinic.
Speaker 9: As far as the hitting, I mentioned last night during
Speaker 9: the ballgame, different hitters. You have to trust your hands.
Speaker 9: That means being able to get the barrel of bat
Speaker 9: through the hitting zone and rushing. Last night was absolutely
Speaker 9: superb in doing that. The two run hole run which
Speaker 9: really broke the scoring ice for the Dodgers because at
Speaker 9: that time, in the bottom of the second inning, the
Speaker 9: Dodgers are already down six to nothing. They cut the
Speaker 9: lead and we send it the time. Look, they need
Speaker 9: to peck away. That's exactly what they did and to
Speaker 9: come from behind.
Speaker 2: All right, that's gonna do it for this particular segment,
Speaker 2: Tim as we get it back to you. I can't
Speaker 2: remember the last time it was a show. Hey old
Speaker 2: Tani start day and we didn't talk about him in
Speaker 2: the old scene set. It's a battle of aces Otani
Speaker 2: against Michael Kaine. We'll get into that pitching matchup and
Speaker 2: to keep from mo a little bit later.
Speaker 5: All right, thank you. Nelly has been counting down to
Speaker 5: first bitch on this Friday and night, Dodger fans, what
Speaker 5: you doing for dinner? I'm gonna get your game day
Speaker 5: meal on It's Shaky's Pizza Parlor or your Shaky's Pizza
Speaker 5: shaking and Mojo's right now and Shaky's dot Com. We're
Speaker 5: off and running here on Dodgers on Deck. Coming up,
Speaker 5: you're gonna hear from the manager Dave Roberts, David Va
Speaker 5: Sego's high and tight with Tommy Emmon. We'll dive deeper
Speaker 5: into this pitching matchup. But up next your otani rewind
Speaker 5: and we'll visit with Kirsten Watson from sports Net LA
Speaker 5: Busy hour coming up, so he lead you up to
Speaker 5: Dodgers m Padres on this Friday night. Thanks for being
Speaker 5: with us. I'm Tim Kates. Is the back to back
Speaker 5: World Series champion Dodgers audio numbers.
Speaker 3: This is Morongo Casino Dodgers Hunters game on your home
Speaker 3: for LA Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 5: It's the Dodgers and the Padres on this Friday night.
Speaker 5: Dodgers winners last night, coming back from six runs down
Speaker 5: to win. They've got a thirteen game lead in the division.
Speaker 5: First pitch tonight coming up at seventen.
Speaker 3: This is the Otani rewhy asking is is trying to
Speaker 3: break a pattern.
Speaker 9: The first inning has been very problematic. Is era just
Speaker 9: under seven and a half.
Speaker 8: You know, one round ball base hitting the right field
Speaker 8: throw tana leadoff single in the Battle of the first Show.
Speaker 5: Hey o'ton show Otani last night won for four on
Speaker 5: base twice, including a walk, now hitting two ninety one
Speaker 5: of four to zero six on base percentage. His hit
Speaker 5: one of the dodgers seventeen total they had in the
Speaker 5: game as they come back to beat the Padres last
Speaker 5: night twelve to seven.
Speaker 3: This is Kirston's Corner with Kirston Watson.
Speaker 5: Hey Kirston now joins us live from the ravine before
Speaker 5: the Dodgers and Padres. Brought to you by Cars for
Speaker 5: Kids donat now Cars for Kids dot Org. That's Cars
Speaker 5: with the k. Before we get into the latest injury news,
Speaker 5: Kirston Dodgers' big win last night, six runs down, come
Speaker 5: back and get the win. And tonight, oh yeah, some
Speaker 5: guy named show Hey Otani on the mound and he's
Speaker 5: well rested.
Speaker 11: Dave Roberts had coming into this one. They are really
Speaker 11: hoping that now not only can he work through a
Speaker 11: few things that he had been kind of struggling with,
Speaker 11: whether there is that fastball command. We know his last
Speaker 11: outing had a tough second inning with Dalton rushing, but
Speaker 11: was able to ultimately kind of get back on track.
Speaker 11: He did take over the pitch calling, and then he
Speaker 11: had that conviction with his stuff with what he wanted
Speaker 11: to throw, ultimately to close out his outing in Minneapolis
Speaker 11: on a high note. So the hope for him coming
Speaker 11: into today not only is his knee in a better spot.
Speaker 11: You know, he's been dealing with that knee inflammation, but
Speaker 11: Dave said today that Shohey has shared with him that
Speaker 11: this is the best the knee has felt. He's well rested,
Speaker 11: and the hope is that he can come in give length.
Speaker 11: There was that technically, you know, a shorter outing for
Speaker 11: Roki yesterday, so it did turn into a bullpen game.
Speaker 11: But the hope is today Shohy can just do what
Speaker 11: he's been so good on the mound this year. And
Speaker 11: as much as the eleven runs in his last three
Speaker 11: outings haven't been as sharp, he's still been really good.
Speaker 11: Just looking to kind of tap back into that sharpness
Speaker 11: and excellence that we know he has.
Speaker 5: In there now. The good news is the Dodgers are
Speaker 5: trickling back players, whether it's pitchers or position players. Tommy
Speaker 5: Yeedman's been on terra since he's come back it looks
Speaker 5: like Will Smith is progressing, at least on a comeback.
Speaker 11: He is progressing, you know, he obviously still has some
Speaker 11: time and they're not trying to rush him. They want
Speaker 11: him to be completely healthy before he returns to gameplay
Speaker 11: and is likely going to need a rehab assignment because
Speaker 11: you know, it's taking a little bit longer with that
Speaker 11: neck injury, and even Dave Roberts has made it clear
Speaker 11: he's not coming.
Speaker 1: Back before the All Star break.
Speaker 11: But the good thing is, and I spoke with him
Speaker 11: briefly today, he is feeling a little bit better. He's
Speaker 11: been playing catch. Actually we thought he had it resumed
Speaker 11: any baseball activity, but he shared with me today that
Speaker 11: he has been playing ketch. He took some swings in
Speaker 11: the cage yesterday, and the fact that he's able to
Speaker 11: play catch today, that's a really good sign that he's
Speaker 11: come out of it feeling good. So he did say
Speaker 11: it's still a little there's some discomfort that he's still
Speaker 11: working through, but ultimately it's continuing to progress. And he
Speaker 11: made it clear he was like, you know, it's just
Speaker 11: it's not something he can rush, so he's taking the time.
Speaker 11: But he did say that you know, day by day
Speaker 11: he's feeling better, which is a great sign for.
Speaker 5: Will Kyle Tucker's been on a tear as of late.
Speaker 5: The only last thing you want to do is ruin
Speaker 5: what a guy's got going.
Speaker 11: On, right, Yeah, exactly, I'm gonna be honest. Okay, So
Speaker 11: coming into this game today, you know, he's been on time.
Speaker 1: He's been on base nine straight times.
Speaker 11: He had the four walks when the team was in
Speaker 11: Sacramento to close out that series. Then yesterday he has
Speaker 11: a four hit game, then in his final plate appearance
Speaker 11: has another walk. So he has been perfect at the
Speaker 11: plate recently. And I had to sit down with him,
Speaker 11: we're talking about it, and he was just like, you know,
Speaker 11: I'm seeing the ball really well, all positive things, feeling
Speaker 11: really confident at the plate. And we all know for
Speaker 11: Kyle it's been a bit of an up and down
Speaker 11: year where he's had success, had a big game, and
Speaker 11: then unfortunately the next few days to follow not the
Speaker 11: same results. So hopefully he can keep it going. But
Speaker 11: I said, I was like, you know, nine in a row,
Speaker 11: let's keep it going, right Kyle, And he goes, no pressure,
Speaker 11: I go, well, you know what, I personally apologize to
Speaker 11: everyone if it happen to be the one who brought
Speaker 11: up the stats and mess it up. But you know what,
Speaker 11: I have faith in him and he's feeling good. So
Speaker 11: we're gonna hope it keeps coming.
Speaker 5: We'll see some more positive results to I no doubt
Speaker 5: about it. Here said shit, we'll check in with you
Speaker 5: after the game. Still the come here on Wrongo Casino
Speaker 5: Dodgers on Deck, David Veas goes one on one with
Speaker 5: Tommy Edman. We'll get you an injury report and well
Speaker 5: here from the manager, Dave Roberts. Next, as we lead
Speaker 5: you up to Dodgers and Padres first pitch at seven ten.
Speaker 5: I'm Tim Kass, the back to back World Series champion
Speaker 5: Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 3: This is Marongo Casino Dodgers on Deck.
Speaker 12: On your home for the Blue.
Speaker 5: All Season Low Wrongo Casino Dodgers on decad ten US
Speaker 5: on this Friday, ninth, July the third. As we lead
Speaker 5: up to first pitch, Dodgers and Podres Marogo Casino Resort
Speaker 5: and Spa. It's a Grand Slam for good time show. Hey,
Speaker 5: O Tani and Michael King. The pitching matchup. First pitch
Speaker 5: coming up at seven ten.
Speaker 3: He's the La Dodgers Injury.
Speaker 5: Report presented by UCLA Healthy Official Medical partner of the
Speaker 5: Los Angeles Dodgers. Blake trying it on the IL with
Speaker 5: the right elbow inflammation. Will Smith. Good news on the
Speaker 5: IL with the next one information. But he's starting to
Speaker 5: do baseball I activities, as is Kei k Hernandez, who
Speaker 5: is on the IL with the oblique injury. Blake Snell throwing,
Speaker 5: that is good news. Edwin Diaz throwing, that is good news.
Speaker 5: Evan Phillips, It's just a matter of time before the
Speaker 5: right hander gets activated off the injured list. So to
Speaker 5: back out to the ravine and get the pregame thought
Speaker 5: to the Dodgers skipper, the questions for Dave.
Speaker 12: Dave, can you just describe Dave?
Speaker 5: Can you talk about the pressure in.
Speaker 1: The dugouts with Dave Roberts.
Speaker 13: You know, he feels good, you know, the body feels good.
Speaker 13: Certainly we did this, you know, methodically, giving him some
Speaker 13: extra time and feel that, you know, we should reap
Speaker 13: the benefits today. So you know, he's been fine, but
Speaker 13: I think that today, you know, given the opponent the rest,
Speaker 13: I think you should be a good one tonight.
Speaker 11: Between addings, feed obviously talk so much about him adult
Speaker 11: Pression's relationship and.
Speaker 8: Then patting that contract together.
Speaker 1: What do you want to see just when it comes to.
Speaker 11: How they work togetheravigating through their lineup and.
Speaker 1: Either we didn't see showing he took over the pitch.
Speaker 11: Calling it in that back after the outing of the Indianapolis,
Speaker 11: But how do you Suna see kind of come back.
Speaker 13: Together and work together to I think it's gonna be
Speaker 13: I think it's gonna be good. I really do. I
Speaker 13: think that, you know, Dalton will call the game is
Speaker 13: my expectation. And then if Shoey wants to kind of
Speaker 13: interject a pitch here there, then great, he has that right.
Speaker 13: But as far as kind of the relationship, as far
Speaker 13: as pitcher catcher, I think it's.
Speaker 12: Going to be great.
Speaker 13: And sometimes, you know, you got to go through certain
Speaker 13: things to kind of get to another point. So I
Speaker 13: think that, you know, I think we can probably we'll
Speaker 13: look back on that outing and go, you know what,
Speaker 13: that was good for both of them.
Speaker 2: Do you want to see show hey, when he does
Speaker 2: feel convicted about a pitch just call it in himself.
Speaker 13: Basically, Yeah, And I think that's what we would want
Speaker 13: from any of our pitchers, you know, I mean because
Speaker 13: it's it's you know, there are two separate minds, and
Speaker 13: so if a pitcher feels really convicted about a certain pitch,
Speaker 13: sure override it.
Speaker 10: All right.
Speaker 5: There's the manager, Dave Roberts, talking about having Dalton Rushing
Speaker 5: catch show Hey Otani again tonight and having confidence that
Speaker 5: things will go well, unlike what happened in the second
Speaker 5: inding in Minnesota in his last star. Well we get in.
Speaker 5: You're here on Margo Casino Dodgers on Deck. More on
Speaker 5: that with David vat Say and Will Smith getting closer
Speaker 5: to returning. Dave's got the latest as we lead up
Speaker 5: to Dodgers and Padres from Uniclo Field to Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 5: I'm Tim Kates is the back to back World Series
Speaker 5: champion Dodgers Audi you.
Speaker 3: Know where as we were saying, this is Marongo Casino,
Speaker 3: Dodgers on Deck on the official home of La Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 5: Hits the Dodgers and the Padres on this Friday night show,
Speaker 5: Hey Otani back on the hill, first pitch coming up
Speaker 5: at seven.
Speaker 3: Ten, Joining Tim Kates on Dodgers on Deck.
Speaker 1: I accept everybody for who they are. This is Dodger
Speaker 1: insider David Bassi.
Speaker 5: Right, DV, it's been a long time since we've seen
Speaker 5: show a Otani on the mound. It was Minnesota when
Speaker 5: he made that start against the Twins, and that was
Speaker 5: also the last time he and Dalton Rushing had a
Speaker 5: little back and forth in that second India.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and honestly, Tim the miscommunication not being on the
Speaker 6: same page, it's been ironed out. They understand a little
Speaker 6: bit better where each guy's coming from. Dalton Rushing in
Speaker 6: particular has a better understanding. You know, it's time to
Speaker 6: follow Otani's lead on challenges and whatever pitches he wanted
Speaker 6: to throw. I know Dave Roberts said that Rushing is
Speaker 6: going to call the pitches, But when I was talking
Speaker 6: to Rushing at about three forty five this afternoon, he
Speaker 6: still hadn't had the game plan meeting with Otani and
Speaker 6: Mark Pryor, So it still remains to be seen who
Speaker 6: is going to call the pitches. And it's going to
Speaker 6: be pretty obvious when we see Otani throw his first
Speaker 6: pitch tonight, whether or not he goes to the pitch
Speaker 6: com But Mookie Beds has this podcast that two or
Speaker 6: three years running and Max Munsey was his guest in Sacramento,
Speaker 6: and there's a video that sports net LA has as
Speaker 6: Rushing follows Otani down into the tunnel at Target Field
Speaker 6: in Minneapolis. You see Muncie and Mookie uh bend over
Speaker 6: to look down the tunnel, but not Dare go down
Speaker 6: the steps, and they actually talked about that on the podcast.
Speaker 4: Well, I want to speak a little bit about this
Speaker 4: situation in Minnesota where Rush and Show. Hey, you know,
Speaker 4: everybody kind of saw it when they go down and
Speaker 4: we got to go down and look at me and
Speaker 4: you done that. We're just being nosy.
Speaker 5: Hey, anyway, what y'all doing down there?
Speaker 4: I was really just kind of seeing how this is
Speaker 4: going to play out, what was possibly going to be said.
Speaker 14: I think it's a good growing moment for both guys.
Speaker 14: The Show's not always gonna be able to throw to
Speaker 14: Will and this is one of those moments where it
Speaker 14: was like, hey, sometimes Show wants to throw a pitch
Speaker 14: that maybe isn't the best pitch to throw. You learn
Speaker 14: how to deal with that, right the more you've been
Speaker 14: in those types of situations.
Speaker 4: What I really enjoyed was like how Rush later on
Speaker 4: took accountability. He knows that he has a lot.
Speaker 5: On his plate.
Speaker 14: You're the catch first staff, that's first in baseball for
Speaker 14: in a lot of categories. So you know, yeah, that's
Speaker 14: a lot on your plate, and he's done an amazing
Speaker 14: job handling it.
Speaker 1: He'll just keep learning.
Speaker 14: Not one of us knew how to handle that situation
Speaker 14: at that nut stage. No how many times were you
Speaker 14: peek around the corner and I was breaking a bat
Speaker 14: down in the tunnel or something, you.
Speaker 6: Know, yeah that happened. I remember when Munsey we get
Speaker 6: a little too upset. In fact, sometimes when I'm near
Speaker 6: the dugout during games, tim I still helm here. Monthsey
Speaker 6: get a little too upset. And look, that's the emotions
Speaker 6: of playing professional sports that a lot of fans don't
Speaker 6: get to see. Rushing understands the emotions that boil over.
Speaker 6: He has to control and sometimes even go into the
Speaker 6: tunnel so the cameras don't catch it. So tonight I
Speaker 6: wouldn't expect any drama.
Speaker 5: Tavid has brought to you by ford Ford to celebrate
Speaker 5: the Fourth of July with employee pricing for everyone. That's
Speaker 5: American value for American values. Don't wait for into your
Speaker 5: Southern California for dealers today and we'll visit by Ford
Speaker 5: now dot com to drive home your best deal. All right, DV,
Speaker 5: what's the ladiest with Keyka and Will Smith? Are they
Speaker 5: getting closer?
Speaker 10: Well?
Speaker 6: Will Smith ran away from me at his locker today
Speaker 6: when I try to interview him about how his next feeling.
Speaker 6: So he was good enough to run away from me
Speaker 6: in the clubhouse. Then I saw him come out on
Speaker 6: the field and he was playing catch. But I can
Speaker 6: tell you this, Tim, when he looked to his left,
Speaker 6: you could tell the neck is still stiff where he
Speaker 6: doesn't have full mobility of the neck looking to his left,
Speaker 6: and that's actually as a right handed hitter the way
Speaker 6: you're supposed to look at the pitchers, so you can
Speaker 6: understand why. And Dave Roberts, you heard him say that
Speaker 6: Smith took swings in the batting cage. Don't get too excited.
Speaker 6: From what I was told, it was only seven swings
Speaker 6: and that was that was it. So it's going to
Speaker 6: be until after the All Star break when Will Smith returns.
Speaker 6: But they're in good hands with Dalton rushing. As far
Speaker 6: as keith Y Hernandez goes, Tim, he's been taking ground
Speaker 6: balls at third base over the course of the last week,
Speaker 6: including the last couple of days since the team returned home.
Speaker 6: But today was the first day that he took batting
Speaker 6: practice on the field, and that's a big step considering
Speaker 6: he's dealing with the left oblique injury. He's not close
Speaker 6: to coming back before the All Star break, and it's
Speaker 6: still really uncertain when he's going to come back at all.
Speaker 6: But he will come back. I shouldn't say at all.
Speaker 6: I'm just saying it's uncertain the day that he will

Speaker 5: the Padres were threatening.
Speaker 15: The Dodgers in search of their fourth shutout of the
Speaker 15: year and their thirteenth win and a winning streak of eight.

Speaker 3: This is Marongo Casino Dodgers.
Speaker 12: On your home for the Blue All.
Speaker 5: Season log Dodgers and Padres squaring off on this Friday
Speaker 5: night game two of this four game weekend sets show.
Speaker 5: Hey Otani on the Mountain. Time now for the Verizon
Speaker 5: startup is we are thirty five minutes away from the
Speaker 5: start of the game. Now, Verizon, you can lock in
Speaker 5: that low price for three years so you can save big.
Speaker 5: Visit your So Cal Verizon store today. We check in
Speaker 5: now with Charlie Steiner.
Speaker 8: All right, Tim, The Dodgers keep rolling right along twenty
Speaker 8: six games over five hundred and thirteen in front of
Speaker 8: both the Padres and the Arizona Diamondbacks. In winning eight
Speaker 8: of their last ten. The team is hitting three twenty
Speaker 8: one and there are the Padres, who are now five hundred.
Speaker 8: They're tied with Arizona thirteen behind the Dodgers three out
Speaker 8: of their wild card raings. This after the Dodgers come
Speaker 8: from behind win last night, And where do you want
Speaker 8: to begin, mom, And just looking back it last night,
Speaker 8: you got San Diego off to a six nothing lead,
Speaker 8: and then they took on water in a hurry, and
Speaker 8: the Dodgers just had their way with them the rest
Speaker 8: of the way.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I think the big blast that you and I
Speaker 9: talked about it to down six to nothing and then
Speaker 9: in the bottom of the second inning a leadout single
Speaker 9: by Kyle Tucker won out. Later the two run home
Speaker 9: run by Dalton Rushing, and then what we talked about
Speaker 9: right there is that, okay, six to two, Well, the
Speaker 9: Dodgers needed to pack away. That's exactly what they did
Speaker 9: because they not only scored in the second, then they
Speaker 9: came back, scored in the third, the fourth, the fifth,
Speaker 9: the sixth, They took the seventh inning off and then
Speaker 9: for good measure, scored again in the eighth inning. So
Speaker 9: they just created opportunities to put runs on the board
Speaker 9: and then accomplished that opportunity.
Speaker 8: You mentioned Tucker and Dalton rushing, they both went four
Speaker 8: for four last night, Bett's Munsey and Edmund they had
Speaker 8: two hits apiece as the Dodgers with seventeen more base
Speaker 8: hits twelve and the answered runs until the Padres scored
Speaker 8: won late.
Speaker 9: Yeah, began to start to look to what the Dodgers
Speaker 9: were able to do on this road trip. And now,
Speaker 9: as you mentioned winning eight of the ten games, I
Speaker 9: mean they've done it in very fine fashion because in
Speaker 9: those ten games Dodgers have outscored the opposing teams combined
Speaker 9: sixty four runs to forty one. So there is a
Speaker 9: big disparity as far as what the runs are being
Speaker 9: shown up on the scoreboard, and the Dodgers one of
Speaker 9: the things that they do when the dust has settally
Speaker 9: come up with eight wins in the last ten games
Speaker 9: run differential.
Speaker 8: The Dodgers by far have the largest one hundred and
Speaker 8: sixty two runs better than their opponent's next best Milwaukee
Speaker 8: one hundred and twenty four. Let's talk about Sasaki for
Speaker 8: a moment, because last night he struggled again. His last
Speaker 8: four starts, he's gone seventeen innings, giving up nineteen runs,
Speaker 8: twenty one hits, fifteen strikeouts, and just as alarmingly, eleven walks.
Speaker 8: He's got an era of over ten. What do you
Speaker 8: see happening out?
Speaker 9: Well, there were some questions about rookie Sasaki. They were
Speaker 9: given to Dave Roberts by the members of the me
Speaker 9: a couple of hours prior to go football game, and
Speaker 9: they asked about Sasaki and Roberts was saying when asked,
Speaker 9: is he tipping his pitches? And for Roberts said, that's
Speaker 9: something that we are looking at. So then he was
Speaker 9: also asked as he's stay in the rotation, and the
Speaker 9: quote was, we'll see. So you know, there's going to
Speaker 9: be a turnaround some at some particular point. We were
Speaker 9: hoping last night we might see that because the velocity
Speaker 9: really held up. I mean it's throwing it ninety eight
Speaker 9: miles an hour, but there was a leadoff double on
Speaker 9: the very first pitch that he threw. Okay, fine, sometimes
Speaker 9: they get ambushed on that sharply hit ball right back
Speaker 9: to the mound in that first ending, and then the
Speaker 9: two run home run by Manny mcchato. He also gave
Speaker 9: up a three run home run to Jake Croninworth in
Speaker 9: the second thing, so all told, three home runs Sasaki
Speaker 9: gave up. I didn't think that his pitches were necessarily
Speaker 9: picked up. If they're saying, well, he's tipping his pitches,
Speaker 9: I thought very poor location of the pitches and they
Speaker 9: got whacked.
Speaker 8: That was I guess pition of command and control.
Speaker 9: And I don't think he had either no and not consistently.
Speaker 9: And you know, we've seen this hockey pitch much much
Speaker 9: better than what we saw in last night's ball game.
Speaker 9: You know, six runs, yes, the seven hints. But Charlie
Speaker 9: was another game where a very high pitch count. I mean,
Speaker 9: eighty eight pitches in three innings. And if you look
Speaker 9: at the outing before they had San Diego down on Saturday,
Speaker 9: the last outing he made eighty one pitches and that
Speaker 9: was only in four innings, So I mean the pitch
Speaker 9: count is just really off the charts.
Speaker 8: And I've totally we mentioned during the game last night
Speaker 8: he wears his emotions, his confidence on his sleeve, and
Speaker 8: almost from the get go he was fighting from against
Speaker 8: the ropes and never could get out into the middle
Speaker 8: of the ring.
Speaker 9: Yeah, he just does not look comfortable. You know. He's
Speaker 9: twenty four years of age. He's trying to learn now
Speaker 9: baseball over at this level, which I think the level
Speaker 9: is a little bit higher, more consistently than what he
Speaker 9: was used to. But he's got to start challenging some
Speaker 9: hitters and not be afraid of making the hitters swing
Speaker 9: and hit the ball. I hope he understands, Hey, there's
Speaker 9: some pretty good defense behind me, as long as he
Speaker 9: can keep the ball in the ballpark.
Speaker 8: Should the Dodgers beat the Padres tonight, San Diego would
Speaker 8: lose their seventh straight and they'd be under five hundred
Speaker 8: for the first time. Since the first week of the season,
Speaker 8: the Padres have given up forty four runs forty two
Speaker 8: earned in the last three games. That's an ERA of
Speaker 8: fifteen point twenty seven over eighty four games. First eighty four,
Speaker 8: the ERA was three ninety four. Three games later, the
Speaker 8: era is four to twenty six. In the last two games,
Speaker 8: the Padres have given up thirty five runs thirty four
Speaker 8: hits and so the Dodgers, one would think or chopping
Speaker 8: at the bit for the second game of this four
Speaker 8: game series coming up in just a bit.
Speaker 5: Tim, all right, thank you, Charlie. Dodgers Baseball's presented by

Speaker 3: from a Dodger player.
Speaker 5: It's an engagement, dearm this this high and.
Speaker 10: Tight, happy third of July.
Speaker 6: What says America more than our guy, Tommy Edmund, Tommy,
Speaker 6: thanks a lot for the time, appreciate it.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm excited, excited to celebrate America's two hundred and
Speaker 7: fiftieth birthday tomorrow.
Speaker 6: That's right, Hey, I spent some Fourth of July's in
Speaker 6: del Mar back in my younger days, Tommy Edmund.
Speaker 7: Nice beautiful area. Yeah, nothing better than you know, going
Speaker 7: to the beach on a on a beautiful sunny day
Speaker 7: in San Diego, maybe get a little bonfire and you know,
Speaker 7: just nothing, no better way to spend the fourth.
Speaker 10: It's like you were there with me.
Speaker 7: I might have been there, you know, I'd probably spent
Speaker 7: a couple of days in del Mar on the Fourth
Speaker 7: of July in my younger days. But you know, most
Speaker 7: of most of my Fourth of July is the last
Speaker 7: ten years have been spent playing baseball.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't think people appreciate this. There's so many
Speaker 6: great summer holidays to spend with your family. But as
Speaker 6: a guy that's dedicated his life to playing baseball and
Speaker 6: to make it to this level, what's it been like
Speaker 6: for you to even have seen Fourth of July outside
Speaker 6: of a baseball stadium where you like ten years old
Speaker 6: when that happened.
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, yeah, probably going back to the the
Speaker 7: pre travel ball days, because you know, growing up, even
Speaker 7: in high school, you're playing in tournaments most of the summer,
Speaker 7: so you know, it's pretty much always just been Fourth
Speaker 7: of July baseball games. But you know, that's that's kind
Speaker 7: of what I know, and you know, I appreciate it
Speaker 7: and it's a lot of fun.
Speaker 10: Tommy Edmund is our guest.
Speaker 6: He's back, he's healthy, and he was a big part
Speaker 6: of the Dodgers coming from behind last night. That was
Speaker 6: a really fun watch to see the resilience of the
Speaker 6: group last night. What was the talk in the dugout
Speaker 6: when you get down six nothing to be able to
Speaker 6: chip away the way you did?
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, great offensive performance. We just kind of
Speaker 7: maintained the consistency of at bats throughout. You know, we
Speaker 7: didn't try to do too much, didn't try to you know,
Speaker 7: score six rounds with one swing, you know, just a
Speaker 7: lot of really good at bats consecutively. And you know
Speaker 7: that was just kind of the mindset of our offense,
Speaker 7: just just chip away slowly.
Speaker 6: How fun was it for you to have rushing in
Speaker 6: front of you and you guys doing your thing last night?
Speaker 7: Man, him and him and Tucker I think they gone
Speaker 7: on base every single time yesterday, so, you know, and
Speaker 7: those two guys were hidding two and e Rosa just
Speaker 7: before me, and then three battles before me, So I
Speaker 7: had a lot of guys on base. But yeah, it
Speaker 7: just seemed like there was, you know, constant activity on
Speaker 7: the base pass throughout the game.
Speaker 6: Tommy, we always talk about the gifts that you guys
Speaker 6: have physically, you've been here, been part of back to
Speaker 6: back championships.
Speaker 10: What about the mental.
Speaker 6: Toughness yourself and the rest of your teammates have had
Speaker 6: the last three years, including on display last night.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, I.
Speaker 7: Think that's what it takes to be a successful baseball player,
Speaker 7: to be a successful team in this league. You know,
Speaker 7: everybody in Major League Baseball has got a ton of talent,
Speaker 7: you know, and I think it's the mental side that
Speaker 7: separates the good players from the best players. Unfortunately, we
Speaker 7: have a lot of guys who are who are really tough,
Speaker 7: have a really good grasp on the mindset that is
Speaker 7: required in this game.
Speaker 5: So, you know, I think that's what makes us so great.
Speaker 6: How have you guys been able to just be on
Speaker 6: the same page on that sort of wavelength, to have
Speaker 6: this same sort of mental toughness nobody really seems to waiver.
Speaker 7: I think it's part of just who guys are on
Speaker 7: this team. It's just kind of built into our personalities.
Speaker 7: And then also just having having played together, we have
Speaker 7: a we have a group of guys that for the
Speaker 7: most part, we've all played together for the last several years,
Speaker 7: some guys longer than others, you know, months, He's been
Speaker 7: here forever, and you know, Freddie Muki have been here
Speaker 7: a number of years now. So I think just the
Speaker 7: more experience you get playing with one another, the more
Speaker 7: you understand what what makes each other tick, and you know,
Speaker 7: it helps create a h some good chemistry in the clubhouse.
Speaker 10: Tommy Edmund is our guest.
Speaker 6: Just in front of first pitch between the Dodgers and Padres. Tommy,
Speaker 6: hard to ignore how well you've been playing since coming
Speaker 6: off the il. You've only been back thirteen games, but
Speaker 6: from the press box vantage point, it just seems like
Speaker 6: you have a lot more stability, a lot more strength
Speaker 6: with the way the right foot is feeling.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I feel really confident with everything so far. You know,
Speaker 7: I feel like I'm able to do everything on the
Speaker 7: field that I that I was able to before the
Speaker 7: ankle problems kind of popped up. You know, I'm moving
Speaker 7: around the field still my first base yesterday, and you know,
Speaker 7: just feel like I can be an explosive player out there.
Speaker 6: Does it make it awkward when your trainers walk by
Speaker 6: and you've overcome them, including Possum Nakajima.
Speaker 7: Yeah, Passum has been a huge help, and he's a Yeah,
Speaker 7: he's my favorite trainer on the whole team. And I'm
Speaker 7: not only saying that because he's standing right here looking
Speaker 7: at me.
Speaker 6: How much was he wasn't really involved in your recovery?
Speaker 10: Was he?
Speaker 5: He helped out a little bit.
Speaker 7: He's a he gives me some he's some good soft
Speaker 7: tissue work.
Speaker 10: Tommy Edman is our guest.
Speaker 6: All right, Otani night, Edmund, did you think you were
Speaker 6: gonna get out of here without answering an Otani question?
Speaker 12: Oh?
Speaker 7: Maybe it happens about twenty percent of the time.
Speaker 6: But okay, I want to ask you about Otani. I'll
Speaker 6: ask you about Dalton Rushing. There's been a lot of
Speaker 6: talk about the way he plays with so much emotion.
Speaker 6: Can he last a whole season riding that emotional wave
Speaker 6: or is that something that he's going to learn on
Speaker 6: his own?
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, I think that's kind of what makes
Speaker 7: him tick, you know, And we're all we've played with
Speaker 7: Rushing Dalton for you know, about a year now, so
Speaker 7: I feel like we have a pretty good understanding of
Speaker 7: who he is as a player and as a person.
Speaker 7: And you know, who he is on the field. He's
Speaker 7: a he's a competitive but he's a great teammate in
Speaker 7: the clubhouse, and you know, I think I think eventually,
Speaker 7: at some point, you know, he'll maybe tone down a
Speaker 7: little bit on the field. But you know, I don't
Speaker 7: think it's ever gonna go away completely. And I don't
Speaker 7: I don't think we wanted to. You know, That's that's
Speaker 7: what makes him so good. It's just his his drive
Speaker 7: and his desire to be so great out there.
Speaker 10: It's got to matter that he cares as much as
Speaker 10: he does.
Speaker 7: Absolutely, you know, there's yet you can never you can
Speaker 7: never say that he doesn't care about the game.
Speaker 6: How about you? I never think you get too high
Speaker 6: or too low. You're very even keel, You're I need
Speaker 6: you in my life.
Speaker 10: Tommy Edmund.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't know. I think that's just kind of
Speaker 7: who I am as a person. I guess it carries
Speaker 7: over to the way I uh, the way I.
Speaker 5: Perform, and the way I am on the field.
Speaker 6: Hey, love having you with the Dodgers. Can't sate enough.
Speaker 6: Don't tell Freddy no Tani this, but Tommy Edmund. It's
Speaker 6: one of my favorite players to watch play the game.
Speaker 6: So thank you for the time.
Speaker 9: Thank you.
Speaker 12: I appreciate it.
Speaker 1: You're my favorite reporter.
Speaker 10: Hey, there we go.
Speaker 6: See that's why I love this guy. Tom Y Edman

Speaker 5: Brought to you by her Toyota Dealers. We make it easy.
Speaker 5: Michael King on the mound for the Padres, thirty one
Speaker 5: year old right hander at his eighth season, making his
Speaker 5: eighteen starts. He has gone at least five innings and
Speaker 5: fourteen of his seventeen starts. One of those that he
Speaker 5: didn't was actually last time out against the Dodgers. Four
Speaker 5: and a third innings, four runs, three hits, five strikeouts,
Speaker 5: four walks in a loss at Pectol Park. Across his
Speaker 5: last seven starts since May twenty fourth, he is one
Speaker 5: in five with the five to forty five ERRA. He
Speaker 5: is four and one against the Dodgers with the three
Speaker 5: seventy two ERA. His last time out was actually his
Speaker 5: first loss against the Blue Show hey Otani on the
Speaker 5: mount eight and two one fifty eight ERA. Making his
Speaker 5: fourteen start, pitching on eight days. Rest of the month
Speaker 5: of June four starts three to Oho with the three
Speaker 5: twenty eight ERA. He's undefeated in his last seven starts,
Speaker 5: with his last loss coming May fifth. His one fifty
Speaker 5: eight ERA right second in the major leagues. He has
Speaker 5: one in one with a fort ninety one ERA in
Speaker 5: three career starts against San Diego Show, Hey o Tani,
Speaker 5: Michael King, Dodgers Padres were fifteen minutes away from first pitch.
Speaker 5: Keiths is the game our next. I'm Tim Katsis is
Speaker 5: the back to back World Series champion Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 3: This is Morongo Casino Dodgers on tap.
Speaker 12: On your home for the Blue all.
Speaker 5: Season long, Dodgers and Padres. As we get ready for
Speaker 5: the start of the game with the Sapporo Start Great
Speaker 5: Moments start with sapporol, beer or whatever your taste preference.
Speaker 5: Aporo has you covered with a variety crispin refreshing loggers,
Speaker 5: including light and non alcoholic beer. Saporo Good with sushi,
Speaker 5: Great with baseball. Steven Dawson, all.
Speaker 1: Right, TC back here with Mo and Mo. Before we
Speaker 1: get into your big key.
Speaker 2: Of the night, we want to flash everybody back May nineteenth.
Speaker 2: We all woke up that day and you took a
Speaker 2: peak of the Nation League West standings, and he saw
Speaker 2: the San Diego Padres twenty nine and eighteen, a half
Speaker 2: game ahead of the Dodgers in the standings. Since then,
Speaker 2: things have gone the other way, in an extreme way,
Speaker 2: and now thirteen games separate these two division runs.
Speaker 9: Well, the Times have gone five to two against San
Speaker 9: Diego this year, but it's it's one of those things
Speaker 9: that they turned things around. They being the Dodgers and
Speaker 9: committed to doing the little things day in and day out.
Speaker 9: That's exactly what they've done. So tonight we're gonna find
Speaker 9: out about show. Hey Otani, he's pitching an eight days rest.
Speaker 9: Interesting that you and I were listening to Dave Roberts
Speaker 9: a little bit earlier talking to the media and they said, well,
Speaker 9: has there been a change in Atani? And Dave says, well,
Speaker 9: first of all, his knee is healthy enough to pitch,
Speaker 9: he said, but he's not being consistent over the last
Speaker 9: number of games, in particular with a fastball command, and
Speaker 9: it has not been as good in recent times. And
Speaker 9: he's gone to the splitter a little bit more often
Speaker 9: because now he has at least a little bit more
Speaker 9: confidence in that pitch.
Speaker 2: He is pulling double duty today, so I think that's
Speaker 2: something to monitor two starts before the All Star Game,
Speaker 2: and it's basically all but been said definitively that Otani
Speaker 2: is not going to pitch in Philadelphia at the All
Speaker 2: Star Game, which is the predictable and right decision for
Speaker 2: the Dodgers moving forward. But if that knee is still
Speaker 2: a bother and at this point, nobody is one hundred percent,
Speaker 2: certainly not anybody who's doing both as Otani is, But
Speaker 2: I certainly I think that we will watch throughout this game.
Speaker 2: Now he has great numbers against Michael King. That factors
Speaker 2: into the decision to have him double dip tonight.
Speaker 1: But what is your.
Speaker 2: Biggest key as we get ready for geting?
Speaker 9: I think for the Dodgers to be patients. King does
Speaker 9: not walk a whole lot of batters in factory with
Speaker 9: runners in scoring position. He's real kind of shut the
Speaker 9: door as Otani has also done. But for Michael King,
Speaker 9: he got up to a very good start the ten
Speaker 9: starts that he had. Initially ERA was under two and
Speaker 9: a half, but the last seven starts, including one start
Speaker 9: against the Dodgers, he's one in five ERA almost five
Speaker 9: and a half.
Speaker 2: And that's when the walk rate has tipped up in
Speaker 2: the last seven. He took the loss to the Dodgers
Speaker 2: last Saturday at Petco Park. He walked four in that game,
Speaker 2: including a basis load of walk to Freddie Freeman that
Speaker 2: kind of pushed the game toward the Dodgers direction, unroot
Speaker 2: to a series victory, as they will try to do
Speaker 2: the same to him here tonight at home. First pitch
Speaker 2: and a matter of a moment, show hate Weltani against
Speaker 2: the Padres ten Back to you.
Speaker 5: All right, first pitches next and enjoyed everybody. I'm Tim
Speaker 5: Kayes and this has been Wrongo Casino, Dodgers on deck
Speaker 5: and your back to back World Series champion Dodgers. How
Speaker 5: do you know
