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, the only reason the
Speaker 3: Dodgers are doing this is because they can. They print money.
Speaker 1: The Dodgers just can't continue.
Speaker 3: It's not fair.
Speaker 1: Are making plans.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a singular focus on controlling what they can control.

Speaker 3: First pitch from Uniclo Field the Dodger Stadium is coming

Speaker 3: on Morago Casino, Dodgers on deck. We got a lot
Speaker 3: to get to. We're gonna hear from the manager himself,
Speaker 3: Dave Roberts. We'll dive deeper into this pitching matchup tonight.
Speaker 3: David Vase is going to join us throughout the hour.
Speaker 3: Of course, we got your Dodgers magical moment. He'll go
Speaker 3: one on one with Clayton McCullough, Marlins manager, former Dodgers
Speaker 3: first base coach, bound back at Dodger Stadium with his team. Shortly,
Speaker 3: we'll visit with Kirsten Watson and at just a few
Speaker 3: minutes we'll head out to Charlie Steiner and Rick Monday
Speaker 3: in the gaalpin Ford Broadcast booth. Well, yesterday at the Ravine,
Speaker 3: Justin Robleski would end up going six innings, no runs,
Speaker 3: four hits, He walked four, had traffic on the bases
Speaker 3: almost every single inning. Walk that tight rope for six innings,
Speaker 3: striking out six along the way, but he would have
Speaker 3: put up zeros on the scoreboard. Meanwhile, the Dodgers offense
Speaker 3: last night, Andy Pajez got the party started in the
Speaker 3: first of the Sacfly scoring show Hey Dodgers grabbed a
Speaker 3: one nothing lead. Then Mcguel Rojas.
Speaker 2: Double the lead, second and third, two out, one ball,
Speaker 2: no strikes. Imnauga comes home and Rojas wraps it in
Speaker 2: the ear to left field going after it has happened,
Speaker 2: it's over his head. Hey one hops off the wall,
Speaker 2: hurt in his scores tuckered US two a.
Speaker 3: Two run double, Poor Miguel Rojas. Niggie ro drives in
Speaker 3: the pairs. That Dodgers scored three runs in the first
Speaker 3: inning jump out to the three to nothing lead. That
Speaker 3: was more than enough for Justin Robleski, who again had
Speaker 3: traffic on the base, But the Chicago Cubs just could
Speaker 3: not get the hit when they needed it. As Robleski
Speaker 3: got out of jam after jam, twelve runners left on
Speaker 3: base for the Cubbies. They were zero for eight with
Speaker 3: runners in scoring position. The Dodgers will take it into six,
Speaker 3: Dodgers added them to the lead thanks to Dalton rushing
Speaker 3: three and.
Speaker 2: Two on Dalton rushing, the one hundredth pitch of the
Speaker 2: afternoon from Chota Imanaga is hit on the ground through
Speaker 2: the right side pa his scores. Tucker will stop at third.
Speaker 2: It's an RBI base hit for rushing and now the
Speaker 2: Dodgers leave by four.
Speaker 3: Dalton rushing with the RBIs single number sixteen on the season.
Speaker 3: Dodgers a four to nothing in lead. They would tack
Speaker 3: on one more on an air, making it five to nothing.
Speaker 3: Then in the seventh show, Hey Otany with a home run,
Speaker 3: his sixth of the year. He goes three for three
Speaker 3: on the day with the home run, drives in a
Speaker 3: g run as the Dodgers go on and shut out
Speaker 3: the Chicago Cubs six to nothing. Your final and that
Speaker 3: is the top tier play the game, brought to you
Speaker 3: by Arco quality, top tier gas for less. Robleski would
Speaker 3: go the six shutout Indians and Guardo Enriquez came in,
Speaker 3: walked a couple of runners in the seventh, but was
Speaker 3: able to get out of it. Jack Dryer came in
Speaker 3: pitched the eighth. Kyle Hurt pitched the ninth put up
Speaker 3: a zero as well on five pitches. That's all it
Speaker 3: took him. As the Dodgers bullpen helps out Justin Robleski
Speaker 3: to improve the four to zero on this season, his
Speaker 3: longest outing one hundred and nine pitches thrown by Justin Robletski.
Speaker 3: As the Dodgers take two or three from Chicago, they're
Speaker 3: now nineteen and nine overall on this season. As the
Speaker 3: homestead continues to night with Yoshinobu Yamamoto on the mound,
Speaker 3: first pitch at seven ten and with more we head
Speaker 3: out to the gallopin four broadcast booth as we welcome
Speaker 3: in Charlie Steiner and Rick Monday.
Speaker 5: Guys, All right, Tim, The Dodgers begin the night nineteen
Speaker 5: and nine back in first place by themselves a half
Speaker 5: a game in front of the Podras eleven and four
Speaker 5: at home this year, and after that six to nothing
Speaker 5: shut out of the Cubs yesterday behind rob Lusky, the
Speaker 5: Dodgers look like the Dodgers again.
Speaker 6: Well, They're started to do it in both signes. First
Speaker 6: of all, they outscored the Cubs each of the last
Speaker 6: two games by a total of eighteen to four. They
Speaker 6: out hit them on top of it. They were much
Speaker 6: much better with runners in scoring position. Oh, by the way,
Speaker 6: they got very good pitching, including out of the bullpen,
Speaker 6: which has kind of turned things around. And on top
Speaker 6: of that, they returned to first place a half game
Speaker 6: in front of San Diego.
Speaker 5: What's your take on Roblusky each time he goes out
Speaker 5: is more confident and simply pitching.
Speaker 6: Well. I read a quote that was talking about he
Speaker 6: was looked at as a stopgap until some other starting pitcher.
Speaker 6: Blake Snell probably the closest to coming back. He's on
Speaker 6: a rehab start very very soon. But if you look
Speaker 6: at Robleski, he's become more than just a stopgap. He
Speaker 6: has entered into conversation as if he is going to
Speaker 6: possibly stay in the rotation.
Speaker 5: And then there there. Marlins are at thirteen and fifteen.
Speaker 5: They began the year eight and five in their first
Speaker 5: thirteen games, but they've gone five to ten in their
Speaker 5: last fifteen. And this is a team that Dodgers frankly
Speaker 5: have dominated over the year.
Speaker 6: Yeah, they have. They've had very good luck, but that's
Speaker 6: in the past and we're going to have tonight to
Speaker 6: begin in the future. As far as the three games
Speaker 6: again back to back night games in a day game,
Speaker 6: and then there's an off day. The Dodgers then pack
Speaker 6: up in the going the road. Doesn't seem like they've
Speaker 6: been home very long, but they'll be taking off and
Speaker 6: going to Saint Louis in Houston before coming back, and
Speaker 6: then they have much talked about it Atlanta. Rains will
Speaker 6: come in, but that's the way down the road. The
Speaker 6: Dodgers have some ball games to play and win, starting
Speaker 6: tonight again.
Speaker 5: You were mentioning how the Dodgers have been finally grabbing
Speaker 5: the bull by the horns, both with the bat and pitching.
Speaker 5: Dodgers lead major League Baseball with a two seventy eighteen
Speaker 5: batting average, most home runs forty five, three point fifty
Speaker 5: five on base percentage, the most extra base hits ninety four.
Speaker 5: The starting pitching er is two seventy nine, and since
Speaker 5: April the sixth, they've given.
Speaker 4: Up twenty eight earn runs eighty one.
Speaker 5: Hits, and the Dodgers starters are ten and two in
Speaker 5: their last nineteen stars.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and that's starting pitching. That era that's the best
Speaker 6: in baseball overall. That era is third best in Major
Speaker 6: League Baseball. So they're getting it done. A lot of
Speaker 6: different areas including well, as you mentioned some of the
Speaker 6: other numbers, the one number that does not really stick
Speaker 6: out in the upper echelon, and that's stolen bases. You know,
Speaker 6: they're not a ball club that that steals a lot
Speaker 6: of bases. They are going to be facing a team
Speaker 6: tonight that does. The Marlins. They put runners into motion.
Speaker 6: They've stolen thirty one bases already this year.
Speaker 5: And one final note about Otani three for three a walking,
Speaker 5: a home run yesterday, ending his twelve game horrorless streak.
Speaker 5: You've gone fifty nine plate appearances without hitting one out,
Speaker 5: and it's looking like he's finally beginning to find his
Speaker 5: way off thatense.
Speaker 6: You know, many times we talk about pitchers maybe getting
Speaker 6: involved too much with the mechanics as they're actually trying
Speaker 6: to deliver the ball. Was a show, hey o Tani
Speaker 6: thinking too much about mechanics when he was trying to
Speaker 6: hit the ball. I don't know on that end of it,
Speaker 6: but we're beginning to now see much better swings. And
Speaker 6: speaking of swings, Will Smith will start to swing again.
Speaker 6: He's back in the starting lineup. A little stiffness in
Speaker 6: the back, missed a couple of games. He's going to
Speaker 6: bat third tonight. Max Bunsey returns the lineup, so he
Speaker 6: had Hassan Kim at short stuff and Alex Freeland again
Speaker 6: at second base, first.
Speaker 5: Of three the Dodgers and the Marlins Lineup's the first
Speaker 5: pitch right around the corner.
Speaker 3: Tim, all right, thank you, Charlie, looking forward to that
Speaker 3: as we call you down to first pitch. Dodger fans,
Speaker 3: get your game day meal on a Shaky's Pizza parlor

Speaker 3: on deck. You're gonna hear from both managers, Clayton McCullough
Speaker 3: of the Marlins, Dave Roberts Dodger skipper. We'll check in
Speaker 3: with David Vascata. Course throughout the hour, we'll dive deeper
Speaker 3: of this pitching matchup. But up next you Taani rewind
Speaker 3: and we'll visit with Kirsten Watson from Sports LA. That's
Speaker 3: all coming up as we lead you up to first
Speaker 3: pitch on this Monday night, Dodgers and the Marlins. First
Speaker 3: pitch coming up at seven ten. Thanks for being with us.
Speaker 3: I'm Tim Kason's the back to back World Series champion
Speaker 3: Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 1: This is Morongo Casino Dodgers hunting on your home for
Speaker 1: La Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 3: It's the Dodgers and the Marlins on this Monday night,
Speaker 3: Japanese Heritage Night out at the Stadium. Yoshinovo Yamamoto and
Speaker 3: Chris Paddock. The pitching matchup here in the series opener.
Speaker 3: First pitch coming up at sevent ten.
Speaker 1: This is the Otani rewind you monogus won oh.
Speaker 2: Otani takes off for second. Here's the throw from Kelly
Speaker 2: to slide is awful of Otani. It kicks in the
Speaker 2: shallow left field and now he's running for third, so
Speaker 2: it's just stolen base. And then it's good. He scored
Speaker 2: an EIR on somebody moll. Imanaga's won one pitch. Old
Speaker 2: Tani hits it on the ground and it rows through
Speaker 2: the right side beyond the diving second baseman in Matt Shaw,
Speaker 2: and so it's a two out single for show. Hey,
Speaker 2: he's on for a second time. The one to zero
Speaker 2: pitch from Imanaga, old Tani rips it to right as
Speaker 2: a beach ball comes blowing across the field that goes
Speaker 2: toward the corner.
Speaker 4: Suzuki to it quickly.
Speaker 2: He spins and throws the second it's off the mark
Speaker 2: O Tani slides in safely with a one out double.
Speaker 2: Show Hey old Tani leading things off, swinging at the
Speaker 2: first pitch, driving it the other way.
Speaker 1: Back it goes and ta hair.
Speaker 2: Old Tani's first home run in a dozen games.
Speaker 3: Show Hey Otani busting out of his slump. Three for three,
Speaker 3: he had a single, a double home run, walked, also
Speaker 3: on base four times. He was a triple shy of
Speaker 3: the cycle. Show Hey Otani bust through yesterday with a
Speaker 3: big offensive day at the plate. Is the Dodgers shut
Speaker 3: out the Cubs six to nothing.
Speaker 1: This is Kirston's Corner with Kirston, Watson.
Speaker 3: And Kirson out joins us from the stadium. Brought to
Speaker 3: you by Cars for Kids, the easiest way to get
Speaker 3: rid of your old car. Donate today your car could
Speaker 3: be picked up tomorrow. Donate now with Carsfrokids dot Org.
Speaker 3: That's cars with the k all Right, Kirson, the Marlins
Speaker 3: now in town. The Dodgers fresh off taking two to
Speaker 3: three from the Chicago Cubs and the offense really starting
Speaker 3: to come to life.
Speaker 7: Yeah, they really are.
Speaker 8: When you look at the last two games at specific,
Speaker 8: this team had eighteen runs on twenty one hit, so
Speaker 8: that's averaging about nine runs per game. Obviously, we saw
Speaker 8: the offense breakout yesterday and the day before, but before that,
Speaker 8: when we ended the road trip in San Francisco came
Speaker 8: here to start the series with the.
Speaker 7: Cubs, things were still a little bit.
Speaker 1: Slower for the offense.
Speaker 8: Even talking with shoe Hey, o Tani or guys like
Speaker 8: Kyle Tucker, you know, they were just feeling like they're
Speaker 8: working through a few things or not they'd normally like
Speaker 8: to be, but they felt like they were getting closer
Speaker 8: and closer. Now it does feel like they've gotten to
Speaker 8: that point, Dave Roberts earlier tonight, so that he feels
Speaker 8: like the pit selection is in a much better position.
Speaker 8: They're not being indecisive when they're reading the pitches kind
Speaker 8: of at the plate. The quality of bats has been there.
Speaker 8: Of course, they've been getting on base, taking their walks
Speaker 8: when need be, but now we're just seeing that the
Speaker 8: swing is in so much of a better position. Even
Speaker 8: show Hey last night was saying that the change that
Speaker 8: he made was more kind of with his upper half positioning,
Speaker 8: and that has allowed for him to just be in
Speaker 8: a better position and more on time. So the guys
Speaker 8: feel really good right now, and Dave Roberts has made
Speaker 8: it clear that he does believe just from what he's
Speaker 8: seen in the last two games, he expects to see
Speaker 8: some more consistency, especially from the top of the.
Speaker 6: Order moving forward.
Speaker 3: Well, the guy at the top of the lineup is
Speaker 3: show Hey Otani. He's in there tonight as a designated hitter.
Speaker 3: He'll be on the mound tomorrow night in game two
Speaker 3: of this three game series against Miami, but we may
Speaker 3: not see him hit.
Speaker 8: Yeah, you know what, So obviously we've seen this this time.
Speaker 8: We've seen it this year before in which they decided
Speaker 8: to only have him focusing on pitching and as the starter.
Speaker 8: So that was a question for tomorrow, especially considering so
Speaker 8: sho haa Toni. Typically they've had him on like six
Speaker 8: seven day rest, pitching once a week. They've been trying
Speaker 8: to have it so that he's pitching so that it's
Speaker 8: teed up to next one off day. But with considering
Speaker 8: how many pitches Tyler Blaster through his last outing, and
Speaker 8: they didn't want to switch the two of them again.
Speaker 8: So he's going to be on regular five day rest tomorrow,
Speaker 8: and so Dave Roberts was asked, you know, could this
Speaker 8: be a situation in which, as you guys have been talking,
Speaker 8: maybe you would move him on to the leadoff spot
Speaker 8: or you just have him not DH, and he said
Speaker 8: it is under consideration. It's all very much on the
Speaker 8: table right now. Obviously, shohe has been very open to
Speaker 8: the conversations that they've been having. So he said this
Speaker 8: a possibility. He didn't want to give away too many
Speaker 8: things just yet. He did add that if he is
Speaker 8: to D eight, just think he would be batting lead up.
Speaker 8: They're not gonna move him in.
Speaker 7: The order just yet.
Speaker 8: But it does feel like there could be a world
Speaker 8: in which we see, especially considering he's on short rest,
Speaker 8: there's a world in which he may not be the DH,
Speaker 8: just the pitcher.
Speaker 7: Tomorrow.
Speaker 3: We shall see. No matter what, we'll see him leading
Speaker 3: off with the Dodgers tonight. Kirson. We appreciate it. We'll
Speaker 3: check in with you after the game. Still to come here,
Speaker 3: I'm Wrongo Casino Dodgers on Deck will dive deeper to
Speaker 3: this pitching matchup, David Vassay goes one on one with

Speaker 3: Presented by UCLA Healthy, official medical partner of the Los
Speaker 3: Angeles Dodgers. Ed when Diaz on the IL recovering from
Speaker 3: elbow surgery. We'll hear from him coming up in a
Speaker 3: little bit. Been Cosparius on the IL, Mookie Betts trying
Speaker 3: to make his way back from the right oblique strain.
Speaker 3: Tommy Edmond on the IL, recovering from off season ankle surgery.
Speaker 3: Blake's now going to go out in a minor league
Speaker 3: rehabit assignment with Ontario in the next couple of days.
Speaker 3: He is trending in the right direction for a return
Speaker 3: next time or sometime next month. The brock Stewart getting closer,
Speaker 3: probably the closest of any Dodger to come off the IL.
Speaker 3: He's in TRIPLEA. Oklahoma City, Bruce Dart, Groderol Keith Key,
Speaker 3: Hernandez Landon, Nag Gavistone, Evan Phillips all on the injured list.
Speaker 3: Let's head back out to the stadium and check out
Speaker 3: with the Dodgers, Gever anything else.
Speaker 4: Questions for Dave Dave, Can you just describe Dave?
Speaker 6: Can you talk about the pressure.
Speaker 1: In the dugouts with Dave Roberts.
Speaker 9: You know, two of the guys we've we've seen a
Speaker 9: lot as far as the starters, you know, Pattick and Sandy.
Speaker 9: The second day guy not too we haven't seen him,
Speaker 9: but I think for us it's just having those team
Speaker 9: at bats, creating stress, taking walks when need. I think
Speaker 9: Tayo's done a good job of that, you know, last
Speaker 9: couple of nights, and you know, being able to hit
Speaker 9: to all fields, and it's kind of you know, right now,
Speaker 9: I think we're leading baseball and batting average, which I
Speaker 9: think is a good thing in the sense of being
Speaker 9: able to hit outfield grass, put the ball in play.
Speaker 9: And so for me, hopefully we can continue to stay
Speaker 9: on that track with what you've seen the.
Speaker 8: Show, Hey, Kyle, maybe these little few adjustment in those
Speaker 8: two specimically getting back on track, you do there now in.
Speaker 3: A good spot that they.
Speaker 6: Can be a little bit more consistent. I do.
Speaker 9: I do. I think that, you know, with show Hey,
Speaker 9: I think that his decision making has been better the
Speaker 9: last couple of nights a couple of days, And with Kyle,
Speaker 9: I think the quality of contact and decision making has
Speaker 9: been better. So yeah, when you get those two guys
Speaker 9: doing what they're supposed to do, it sort of makes uh,
Speaker 9: you know, the lineup that much better.
Speaker 3: All right, there's a manager, Dave Roberts with some pregame
Speaker 3: thoughts as we continue here on Marago Casino Dodgers on Deck.
Speaker 3: We'll check you out with David Vasse as we lead
Speaker 3: job to first page Dodgers and Marlins from Uniclow Field
Speaker 3: at Dodgers Stadium. Tim Kates is the back to back

Speaker 1: As we were saying, yes, is Marongo Casino Dodgers on
Speaker 1: Deck on the office home of La Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 3: Dodgers and the Marlins on this Monday night, Yoshinobi, I'm
Speaker 3: a motal. Chris Paddock to BITCHI matchup. We'll dive deeper
Speaker 3: into the numbers for both these guys. Coming up Paddix
Speaker 3: to looking for his first win this season. Dodgers Baseball
Speaker 3: is brought to you by Alpato, born in La and
Speaker 3: made for your game day. Al Pato brings authentic Mexican
Speaker 3: style tomato, sauces, sauces and hot sauces right to your table.
Speaker 3: El Pato Gourmet in a can.
Speaker 1: Joining Tim Kaits on Dodgers on Deck.
Speaker 4: I accept everybody for who they are.
Speaker 1: This is Dodger Inside there David Bass.
Speaker 3: Right, DV Dodger Stadium always the place to see famous people,
Speaker 3: and today a couple of sports celebs.
Speaker 7: There hanging out.
Speaker 4: Yeah, how about this. Michael Parson of the Green Bay
Speaker 4: Packers was hanging around during batting practice, and also lefty
Speaker 4: Fred Couples, who is a big time Dodger fan, was
Speaker 4: hanging around during batting So everybody wants to be around
Speaker 4: this team, which is definitely the greatest attraction in all
Speaker 4: of Major League Baseball, and some could argue the biggest
Speaker 4: attraction in all the team's sports.
Speaker 3: Right now, Tim, it is brought to you by the
Speaker 3: Ford Maverick Motor Trends of North American Truck of the Year,
Speaker 3: the Ford Maverick Everything you need. You're the most innovative
Speaker 3: truck with forty two miles per gallon at the best
Speaker 3: MSRP if its category. It's time to see forded a
Speaker 3: new light. Go to your Southern California for dealers today.
Speaker 3: All right, Edwin Diaz, we teased Dave, you got a
Speaker 3: chance to catch up with him. He spoke earlier.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he spoke for the first time in the dugout.
Speaker 4: And if you remember, over the weekend, Tim, there was
Speaker 4: so much information that Andrew Freeman was candid with us about,
Speaker 4: including just exactly what was going on with Edwin Diaz. Remember,
Speaker 4: Andrew told us over the weekend that the bone chip
Speaker 4: was pressing up against the tricep muscle of Edwin Diaz's
Speaker 4: right arm, but nowhere near any tendons. So that's a
Speaker 4: great relief for Diaz and the Dodgers.
Speaker 10: I guess I think my emotion was a little way
Speaker 10: short and on normal. Now after I tell you, I'm
Speaker 10: getting close to what what what what I AD when
Speaker 10: I am when I was good, So I think that
Speaker 10: maybe that's why the white the villa was a little
Speaker 10: way inconsistent. But the end of the day, you know,
Speaker 10: I was feeling great because I am feel diet that day,
Speaker 10: die on the image showed that loose body on it,
Speaker 10: we removed it.
Speaker 4: Edwin Diaz also said that his arm and range of
Speaker 4: motion today compared to even three days ago, is even greater.
Speaker 4: So that's encouraging for Diaz and the Dodgers that he
Speaker 4: can return sometime in the second half of the season,
Speaker 4: and maybe closer to August more than September.
Speaker 3: Speaking of encouraging David yesterday, good Side to see show
Speaker 3: Heyo Tani a triple shy of the cycle? Is is
Speaker 3: he out of his slump?
Speaker 6: Well?
Speaker 4: He talked about his posture at the plate after yesterday's game.
Speaker 4: He said, the posture is getting better, and it goes
Speaker 4: to two nights ago where he started to go the
Speaker 4: opposite field. He drew some walks, and the most encouraging
Speaker 4: part of yesterday was his very first plate appearance. He
Speaker 4: did draw a lead off walk, stole's second force to
Speaker 4: bat throw, got to third and scored on a sacrifice fly,
Speaker 4: So that was the most encouraging part. And then everything
Speaker 4: else baked into yesterday's game, where he reached all four times,
Speaker 4: including hitting his first home run tim in the seventh inning.
Speaker 4: There was fifty nine plate appearances between home runs for Otani.
Speaker 4: That's the longest period of time as a Dodger he
Speaker 4: has gone without hitting a home run. So hopefully that's
Speaker 4: a sign of things to come. And if you look
Speaker 4: at the calendar, we're getting closer to May. And remember
Speaker 4: what he told me in Toronto, he expects to have
Speaker 4: a big May. That's traditionally his best month. So we're
Speaker 4: getting closer to May, and Otani is starting to get
Speaker 4: on track.
Speaker 3: Lookout Baseball, it's just a few days away.
Speaker 4: May.
Speaker 3: Great stuff, Dave. We'll check back in with you, and
Speaker 3: just a little bit coming up here on Wrongo Causino
Speaker 3: Dodgers on Deck, we'll hear from Clayton McCullough, former Dodger

Speaker 3: done something nobody has ever done before.
Speaker 5: One ball, two strikes, runner a third, two outs, and
Speaker 5: the pitch counting the show.
Speaker 4: Hey ol Chani, Hey swings hits.
Speaker 2: A track to laft this bows back there last fifty.

Speaker 3: to have a fifty fifty season. This hockey magical moment
Speaker 3: brought to my Hofey hot Dogs, Hofey Soka's local treasure
Speaker 3: for nearly one hundred years. Hofey hot Dogs, local and
Speaker 3: so great. When we continue here on Dodgers on Deck,
Speaker 3: we'll check back, you know, Rick Monday, So lead you
Speaker 3: up to Dodgers and Marlins on Tim Kayson's the back
Speaker 3: to back World Series Champion Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 1: On this is Marongo Casino, Dodgers on Tech on your
Speaker 1: home for the Blue All Season Law.
Speaker 3: Lead you up to Dodgers and Marlins on this Monday.
Speaker 3: Ni Yoshinobu, ya'm amno, and Chris Paddock the pitching matchup.
Speaker 3: Time now for the Verizon startup as we are a
Speaker 3: little bit less than thirty five minutes away from the
Speaker 3: start of the game. Now, Verizon, you can lock in
Speaker 3: your low price for three years, so you can save big.
Speaker 3: Visit your SOCl Verizon store today.
Speaker 1: And now joined by David Basse, Here's La Dodgers broadcaster
Speaker 1: and World Series champion Dodger Rick Monday.
Speaker 4: Rick. That was a good way for the Dodgers to
Speaker 4: end that series against the Cubs, scoring eighteen runs. So
Speaker 4: I guess the offense is back.
Speaker 6: Well, not only the offense, and I agree with you,
Speaker 6: it's one of the things that Charlie and I will
Speaker 6: talk about in a few minutes as well. But also
Speaker 6: consider the fact that the last two games allowed totally
Speaker 6: just thirteen hits against them, So you know, twenty one
Speaker 6: hits to thirteen, and then the lof side is scoring.
Speaker 6: But the other part too is you know, good teams
Speaker 6: play in all different areas and the defense has really
Speaker 6: stood tall. I think overall, you look at this year,
Speaker 6: the Dodgers have not squandered. In fact, I saw the
Speaker 6: number it was two days ago, but they have the
Speaker 6: highest total of defensive runs saved by any team in
Speaker 6: Major League Baseball. And now that means a lot, obviously,
Speaker 6: because you look at that scoreboard out there under the R.
Speaker 6: It's been proven if you have more numbers under the
Speaker 6: R than the other team, you win the game.
Speaker 4: It's amazing how the pieces are fitting better in the
Speaker 4: outfield than they did a year ago with Kyle Tucker
Speaker 4: and right and ta Oscar Hernandez and left.
Speaker 6: And the other part two that I find is a
Speaker 6: huge compliment is not only the way they can run
Speaker 6: and catch the ball, but how they're throwing the ball.
Speaker 6: And here's the other part that I think really stands
Speaker 6: out when you look at the talent stop and think
Speaker 6: about the cutoffs and relays. And I say that because
Speaker 6: A you've got a different second basement that you had
Speaker 6: and Alex Freeland, you've got a shortstop, one of two
Speaker 6: different shortstops filling in for Mookie Benz while he is
Speaker 6: on the edge list. MOOKI is getting closer and closer.
Speaker 6: They're either going out on a rehab for a short
Speaker 6: period of time or maybe getting back into the lineup.
Speaker 6: So if you look at Kim and if you look
Speaker 6: at Rojas, where are they in the cutoffs and relays?
Speaker 6: It takes more than one person to throw a guy
Speaker 6: out from the outfield and the cutoffs and relays have
Speaker 6: been absolutely superb to this particular point in the season.
Speaker 4: When you describe that, Rick, I think about the play
Speaker 4: in the first night against the Cobs where in the
Speaker 4: eighth inning Ian Happ was thrown out at the plate.
Speaker 4: I feel like that's what you're referring to the most.
Speaker 6: And had two runners thrown out in a short period
Speaker 6: of time on relays from the outfield that took good throws,
Speaker 6: good thoughts in order to know where they are. And
Speaker 6: the fact that the cutoffs and relay guys that are
Speaker 6: not out there on a daily basis and knew exactly
Speaker 6: where to be. The other part for cutoff and relay
Speaker 6: I as a second basement or shortstop. If I'm going out,
Speaker 6: who has the real strong arm in the outfield, Because
Speaker 6: the stronger arm, I can stay back to the infield more.
Speaker 6: If it's a guy in the outfield that maybe does
Speaker 6: not have a strong arm, I've got to go a
Speaker 6: little bit deeper to receive the baseball and then how
Speaker 6: they receive it. If it's a low throw, there's a
Speaker 6: guy behind me, the double cutoff, I don't want to
Speaker 6: try and short hop the throw to step aside on that.
Speaker 6: Let the guy behind you backing you up on that
Speaker 6: double cutoff get the balls going to be easier hop
Speaker 6: for him. So there's a lot of things that go
Speaker 6: into it, but the Dodgers worked on it and worked
Speaker 6: on it and worked off in the close games. Fundamentals
Speaker 6: will either lose or win games for you.
Speaker 4: It kind of feels like how they won Game seven
Speaker 4: of last year's World Theory.
Speaker 1: Think.
Speaker 4: Yeah, by the way back.
Speaker 6: In the first place, your breakfast probably taste a little
Speaker 6: bit better today.
Speaker 4: Oh, I don't look at the standings this early, Rick.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, this early? Yeah? Are you kidding? You look
Speaker 6: at him at six o'clock in the morning. Who are
Speaker 6: you kidding?
Speaker 4: I think they're only looking at him in New York
Speaker 4: and Philadelphia these days.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and you know what they're using to look at him, binoculars.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah. The Dodgers are doing pretty good. Everybody freaks
Speaker 4: out up for one loss, but then they bounce back
Speaker 4: and win the last two.
Speaker 6: Those expectations are very high for a talented team.
Speaker 4: Expectations are high tonight for you and Charlie Steiner.
Speaker 6: Oh, well, you're the leadoff guy, and we've got to
Speaker 6: put up with Charlie again. Isn't nice to see him
Speaker 6: back in the booth?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 4: I love it, I love it. Yeah, I know he
Speaker 4: tried to lock me out earlier.
Speaker 6: But as my watch just counting down the minutes before
Speaker 6: he can make the call.
Speaker 4: Is that the peace sign he's given me? I think
Speaker 4: it's time for me to go.
Speaker 6: Yeah, Hey, you're number one.
Speaker 4: We'll send it back to you in the studio. Tim.
Speaker 4: It's great to have these guys back together, no.
Speaker 3: Doubt about it. Thank you. DV Dodgers Baseball presented by

Speaker 3: to first pitch, I'm Tim Katson. This is the back
Speaker 3: to back World Series champion Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 1: As we were saying, this is Marongo Casino. Dodgers on
Speaker 1: Deck on the official home of La Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 3: Dodgers and Marlins getting ready to go at it first
Speaker 3: to three. Yoshinobu Yamamoto on the mount on this Japanese
Speaker 3: heritage night. First pitch coming up at seven ten. Dodgers
Speaker 3: Baseball brought to you by Shaky's Pizza Parlor, the official
Speaker 3: pizza partner of the Dodgers audio broadcast. When it's game night,
Speaker 3: it's group night at Shaky's dot Com.
Speaker 1: David, and now what will likely be vass a fielding
Speaker 1: insults from a Dodger player.
Speaker 3: It's an engagement of endearment.
Speaker 1: This is high and tight.
Speaker 4: Well, the most popular guy at Dodger Stadium today is
Speaker 4: wearing that Marlins teal. And that's a former Dodger first
Speaker 4: base coach who is here for the first of two
Speaker 4: back to back championships and also as part of the
Speaker 4: Dodger organization since twenty fifteen, second year as the Marlins manager.
Speaker 4: And that's the nice bronze tand Florida man himself, Clayton
Speaker 4: Colton McCullough. Clayton, thanks a lot for the time, David.
Speaker 7: It's great to see you again and thanks for having
Speaker 7: me on. And you spending a little time and those
Speaker 7: kind words. I appreciate it.
Speaker 4: Well, congratulations and all the success, and it's great to
Speaker 4: see how loved you still are by so many in
Speaker 4: the Dodger organization.
Speaker 7: I mean it is. I know for certain that I
Speaker 7: wouldn't be sitting here now and have the opportunity that
Speaker 7: I have without the time that I spend this organization
Speaker 7: and the time room with Dave Roberts and Andrew Friedman,
Speaker 7: Brandon Gomes, all the players and coaches. So I know
Speaker 7: how fortunate I was to have been part of this
Speaker 7: organization for ten years and to spend a lot of
Speaker 7: time in player development and get some time here on
Speaker 7: the major league staff. So yeah, a lot of people
Speaker 7: that I still hold in very high regard and respect
Speaker 7: how they go about it. And yeah, I have a
Speaker 7: lot of great memories here, and you know, now the
Speaker 7: other uniform I come here to try to win a series.
Speaker 4: I'm wondering, we talked last year, but how much of
Speaker 4: that version of Clayton McCullough is part of this version
Speaker 4: leader of men managing a team.
Speaker 7: I think a lot of it.
Speaker 3: A lot of.
Speaker 7: Anything you go through helped shape what you've become and
Speaker 7: continue to become. So I know I has to have
Speaker 7: a long way to go as far as refining my
Speaker 7: leadership abilities. But a lot of what I draw from
Speaker 7: are the experience in people I was around here. I mean,
Speaker 7: watching Dave operate with everything that he has on his plate,
Speaker 7: and how cool he is and how he allows his
Speaker 7: staffs to just go operate and go coach and go
Speaker 7: get guys better. So I've tried to emulate as best
Speaker 7: as I can that here. So yeah, I mean, there's
Speaker 7: a Dino. Evil was probably one of the He helped
Speaker 7: me out so much in the four years here. So
Speaker 7: having Dino just kind of show me the way a
Speaker 7: little bit, and so his preparation. No one works as
Speaker 7: hard as him. So I think, you know, just try
Speaker 7: to take pieces from all those that I was around
Speaker 7: and had the fortune to spend time with and now'
Speaker 7: you know, kind of make them my own with what
Speaker 7: you know, how I'm going about doing things now.
Speaker 4: All right, before we get to the Marlins and what
Speaker 4: you're doing now to lead this franchise back. You were
Speaker 4: a big part of the Dodgers twenty four success, winning
Speaker 4: the first of a back to back championship. You were
Speaker 4: so big in the base running game for the Dodgers.
Speaker 4: Were you watching this year's World Series? Where were you
Speaker 4: when Miguel Rojas hid his life saving Dodger home run?
Speaker 7: I did watch it. I'll say that was the only
Speaker 7: game that I watched in the postseason, and we figured
Speaker 7: Game seven, I'm gonna turn it on. And I was
Speaker 7: in my living room on the couch when Mickey row
Speaker 7: hit that Homer Hoffman. I did myself, my son Kyle,
Speaker 7: we all jumped up, like you know, I mean, Micky's
Speaker 7: the best, and I think, you know for everyone you
Speaker 7: didn't mean you know how important a moment like you
Speaker 7: know that is for everyone involved. So I was incredibly
Speaker 7: happy for him, all my you know friends here, and
Speaker 7: if anybody was gonna win the World Series it wasn't us, then,
Speaker 7: you know, I was. I was hoping it'd be them.
Speaker 4: Is that a teaching moment, even for your young Marlins,
Speaker 4: to realize that Miggy Rowe had not had a start
Speaker 4: until Game six, did not hit a home run in
Speaker 4: almost a month. Is that a teaching moment that you
Speaker 4: can use with this young team to always be ready
Speaker 4: for your opportunity. I think that's you.
Speaker 7: I think you hit it on the head. It is
Speaker 7: be ready for your opportunity, you know, I mean you'd
Speaker 7: be ready, you know, do what you have to do
Speaker 7: to get ready because when your moment, your moment's gonna come,
Speaker 7: you know, and all you can do is did you
Speaker 7: prepare yourself the best to go take advantage of your moment.
Speaker 7: So you know, we have it here. We have guys
Speaker 7: that start, some don't start, come off the bench, pinch hit,
Speaker 7: and so it's just you know, the challenge is with
Speaker 7: younger players, but just understanding that and I have to
Speaker 7: do what I think is best for our team. Want
Speaker 7: a given day to win, right, and then just hope
Speaker 7: that you know, our players understand you know what when
Speaker 7: my name is called for whatever it is, all I
Speaker 7: asked that is you're prepared and understand this is a
Speaker 7: hard game and the results don't always match. But if
Speaker 7: you're prepared for that opportunity and moment, then you know,
Speaker 7: I'll continue to give you shots.
Speaker 4: It seemed like the Marlins started to gain some momentum
Speaker 4: at the end of last year and it's continued to
Speaker 4: start this year. How were you able to continue that
Speaker 4: wave into the beginning of this season.
Speaker 7: I think we would just try myself at coaching staff
Speaker 7: and players, trying to be incredibly consistent each day with
Speaker 7: with how we approached that day and not to get
Speaker 7: not to get wrapped up and what other people thought
Speaker 7: we were gonna be we're supposed to be. It's like, no,
Speaker 7: we we're gonna go out there and continue to get
Speaker 7: better every day, and we're gonna treat you know, today
Speaker 7: in this game is the most important, and you know what,
Speaker 7: tomorrow we got to go do it again. And you know,
Speaker 7: it's very easy to ride the roller coaster in the
Speaker 7: major leagues of losing, in losing, street winning stream. So
Speaker 7: it was just trying to prepare in a very similar
Speaker 7: manner coach teach, and I think as the season went along,
Speaker 7: a lot of our guys called some winding their sales
Speaker 7: and really started to take off. We started playing much
Speaker 7: better handling the things that we could control, and we
Speaker 7: finished very well. And you know, this year, we came
Speaker 7: into it expecting we thought we'd have a you know,
Speaker 7: a nice team and be able to build off of that,
Speaker 7: and I think at this point we have and we
Speaker 7: still have a long way to go with you know,
Speaker 7: you know, our group in ORG just you know, continue
Speaker 7: to get better on a lot of fronts, to give
Speaker 7: ourselves a chance a year, and you're out to compete
Speaker 7: for you know, our division in postseason birds.
Speaker 4: Hey, Clayton McCullough still keeps his T shirts in the
Speaker 4: dryer extras medium, so he shows his players who's the boss.
Speaker 7: Right, Yeah, yes, you called me out it is it's
Speaker 7: a medium shirt. Now, David, how about me?
Speaker 4: Skinny fat still or do you feel like a little
Speaker 4: bit more on the fatter side.
Speaker 7: No, David, you look great.
Speaker 4: See that's how he gets his players to buy in.
Speaker 4: He makes them believe. Hey, it's great to see you.
Speaker 4: You always were one of the great people to be around,
Speaker 4: and I feel like that's why your players respond to
Speaker 4: you now with the Marlins as the manager, because your
Speaker 4: genuine personality gets people to want to follow and you
Speaker 4: could be the best. But if nobody follows, you're a
Speaker 4: lonely guy. But Clayton mccull is an easy guy to follow.
Speaker 4: So thank you for the time and great to see you, great, David.
Speaker 7: Thanks for having me. Great catching up with you, and
Speaker 7: you're the best.
Speaker 4: Hey, he hasn't forgotten the little people. Clayton McCullough, the
Speaker 4: big guy in Miami. Pat Riley move aside. Clayton mcculli's
Speaker 4: taking over Biscayne Bay and he'll receive a gift card
Speaker 4: to Travis Matthew. Whether you're in Calli or Florida, you
Speaker 4: can always look great. Thanks Clayton, Thanks David'll send it
Speaker 4: back in the studio.

Speaker 6: at the last two years for Yamamoto handling the top
Speaker 6: of the lineup, in particular the numbers two, three, and
