Speaker 1: For the back to back World champions of Baseball.
Speaker 2: One of the greatest runs in the history of baseball.
Speaker 1: Immortality is within their reach. Incredible and while others make excuses.
Speaker 3: The only reason the Dodgers are doing this is because
Speaker 3: 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 1: Now your pregame host of the world champion LA Dodgers,

Speaker 5: latest Dodgers' injury news, including Will Smith going to the
Speaker 5: injured list. We'll preview this pitching matchup. Our Dodger insider
Speaker 5: David Vasse, will join us throughout the hour. Of course,
Speaker 5: we got your Dodgers magical moment. Shortly, Kirsten Watson will
Speaker 5: stop by from Sports Net LA and it's just a
Speaker 5: few minutes. We will check in with Tim Nevererd and
Speaker 5: Rick Monday out the gallopin Ford Broadcast booth.
Speaker 3: Well, last night, the Dodgers.
Speaker 5: Jumped out to the early lead and then a bigger
Speaker 5: lead late, only to see that lead fall apart and
Speaker 5: the game fall apart. Thanks to the Dodgers' bullpen. Dodgers
Speaker 5: got on the board early. Max Munsey RBI double in
Speaker 5: the fourth gave the Dodgers a one to nothing lead.
Speaker 5: Than the next batter, Kyle Tucker doubled it up.
Speaker 2: Count for Jones, getting a little higher than the Pirates like,
Speaker 2: here's the pitch and Tucker swings hits the ball into
Speaker 2: center field of base hit around third comes Moncie. He
Speaker 2: will score and on a full count, Kyle Tucker strokes
Speaker 2: one up the middle for an RBI single and the
Speaker 2: Dodgers lead it to nothing.
Speaker 5: Kyle Tucker delivers with the RBI single back up the middle,
Speaker 5: Dodgers with a two to nothing in lead. That lead
Speaker 5: was cut in half a home run by the Buckos
Speaker 5: in the bottom half of the fourth inning. Dodgers up
Speaker 5: two to one. Still within reach was Pittsburgh. Going to
Speaker 5: the top half of the sixth inning, Base is loaded
Speaker 5: for the rookie right Ward.
Speaker 2: Hitch to Ward. These Wings hits a drive to right
Speaker 2: field toward the wall.
Speaker 6: It is done.
Speaker 2: Hits a grand slam, the first career grand slam for
Speaker 2: Ryan Ward. A line drive over the clemeny walling right.
Speaker 2: A frozen rope for Ryan Ward. His third career home
Speaker 2: run is a grand slam out and the Dodgers lead
Speaker 2: it six to one. Oh, how do you like that?
Speaker 1: For Wards?
Speaker 5: How about Ryan War with a three hundred and eighty
Speaker 5: foot shot to the grand slam.
Speaker 3: The Dodgers up six to one. In cruising.
Speaker 5: Meanwhile, show Hey Otani on the mound would go six
Speaker 5: and two third innings. Sotani would give up a season
Speaker 5: high though four runs, three of which were earned, six
Speaker 5: hits and six and two thirds as e ra ticked
Speaker 5: up to one point six. O'tani struck out six, walked
Speaker 5: three before being removed from following Brandon Lowe's two out,
Speaker 5: two run double in the seventh as the Philida or
Speaker 5: the Pittsburgh Pirates scored four runs in the three runs
Speaker 5: in the seventh to make it an interesting game. And
Speaker 5: then Kyle hurt Well he got roughed up in that
Speaker 5: eighth inning as the Dodgers bullpen really imploded, given up
Speaker 5: five runs in the bottom of the eighth. The Dodgers
Speaker 5: would answer back with two more in the night, trying
Speaker 5: to get back into it. As the Dodgers found themselves
Speaker 5: trailing nine to six, otani a two run home run
Speaker 5: made it nine to eight, but the Dodgers could get
Speaker 5: no closer. A six to two lead fell apart for
Speaker 5: the Dodgers as they lose it nine to eight. Showy
Speaker 5: Otani and no decision. Kyle Hert gets tagged with the
Speaker 5: loss as the Dodgers dropped the second game of this
Speaker 5: three game series at PNC Park. They're now forty three
Speaker 5: and twenty five and today the rubber game of this
Speaker 5: three game series before they head to the South side
Speaker 5: of Chicago. Justin Robuski on the mound, first pitch at
Speaker 5: three forty and with more we head out to the
Speaker 5: galp before broadcast. But as we say hello to Tim
Speaker 5: Neverett and Rick Monday, guys.
Speaker 2: Tam, thank you very much. Here in Pittsburgh, a deluge
Speaker 2: of rain, thunder and lightning. But that has cleared up.
Speaker 2: The tarp is taken off the field and we're looking
Speaker 2: at it on time. Start tonight in Pittsburgh for Game
Speaker 2: three of this three game series. It's the rubber game
Speaker 2: after last night, the Pirates came back for the ninth
Speaker 2: time this year, and the locals here in Pittsburgh talking
Speaker 2: about the fact that last night was their most exciting
Speaker 2: game of the year. Joey Otani deserved to win. He
Speaker 2: left the game he was up six to one, but
Speaker 2: ended up being a nine to eight win for the Pirates.
Speaker 2: So Otani would hit a home run later. He is
Speaker 2: back in the lineup the day after he pitches today,
Speaker 2: he's leading off as the designated hitter against Mitch Keller,
Speaker 2: the right hander and lefty Justin Roebluski has the start
Speaker 2: for the Dodgers.
Speaker 7: Well, for the Dodgers, I mentioned before Game one, and
Speaker 7: we can still talk about it during the game too.
Speaker 7: Is it don't take the Pirates lightly. I mean they're
Speaker 7: in the top six and batting average of all teams
Speaker 7: in Major League Baseball. Home they proved that last night.
Speaker 7: Don't take anybody for granted. And you know the battle
Speaker 7: cry after the game as we're walking back to the hotel.
Speaker 7: A lot of people are almost giddy about the vacuum
Speaker 7: print playoff tickets. And we just had the trip to
Speaker 7: Pittsburgh officially christened if we can because of the great
Speaker 7: Steve Blast, a former pitcher with this Pirate ball club.
Speaker 7: The organization still does a lot of public relations for them.
Speaker 7: Just drop by, so indeed it is now a fit
Speaker 7: a trip to Pittsburgh.
Speaker 2: We took him till the third day, but we got
Speaker 2: him over well.
Speaker 7: He had to build up the courage to come and
Speaker 7: see us.
Speaker 2: So the Dodgers forty three and twenty five, seven and
Speaker 2: a half up on the padres. The Diamondbacks have already
Speaker 2: lost today, So they've lost another half game and the
Speaker 2: Dodgers picked one up by doing nothing roster move today
Speaker 2: with Will Smith being placed on the injured list. Chuckie
Speaker 2: Robinson is here. He's got the league experience more recently
Speaker 2: with the Angels, but he's been in triple A. Caught
Speaker 2: all nine innings of Oklahoma City's game yesterday, and Chucky
Speaker 2: gonna back up tonight. But tonight's lineup looks remarkably similar
Speaker 2: to last night's line up.
Speaker 7: Yeah, and it congratulates also the Ryan Ward. It's been
Speaker 7: a long time for Ryan Wood to get here, trying
Speaker 7: to stick in the big league level. The Grand Slam
Speaker 7: in last night's game in the sixth inning, So it's
Speaker 7: good to see somebody that's really toiled, loves this game
Speaker 7: of baseball, loves to compete, comes up and does very
Speaker 7: well in last night's ball game. And he's getting the
Speaker 7: starting night again in left field, and Dalton rushing again
Speaker 7: in the number eight spot. What is kind of mysterious
Speaker 7: is that Mookie Betts is still not really broken out
Speaker 7: at all. Average went down again last night. He's hitting
Speaker 7: a buck eighty five. What is going to be interesting
Speaker 7: to watch tonight? Tim is what Freddy Freeman does first
Speaker 7: of all the last twenty games hitting over three fifty,
Speaker 7: But what he does against Keller in tonight's game, Why, well,
Speaker 7: Freddy Freeman's face Keller eighteen times. How's it worked out?
Speaker 7: Freeman has nine hits, that's not a bad average, five
Speaker 7: hundred against the guy tonight.
Speaker 2: And you mentioned Betts. He's got one hit in eleven
Speaker 2: trips against Keller. That one hit is a home run.
Speaker 2: So maybe he repeats that We'll see lots to do
Speaker 2: here tonight. Overcast guys here in Pittsburgh. We may see
Speaker 2: some more rain before it's all over, but we are
Speaker 2: expecting an on time start from PNC Park.
Speaker 3: Tim All right, thank you guys.
Speaker 5: As we got down to first pitch, Dodger fans get
Speaker 5: that game day meal on and.

Speaker 5: six on this season. Dodgers loose to the Pirates yesterday
Speaker 5: nine to eight.
Speaker 1: This is Kirston's corner with Kirston Watson.
Speaker 3: Hey Kirson now joined us. Brought to by Cars for Kids.
Speaker 5: Dont now at Carsfurkids dot org All right, it's been
Speaker 5: a few days. We saw it coming, but Will Smith
Speaker 5: officially to the IL.
Speaker 8: Yeah, and we got to the chance to just check
Speaker 8: in with We'll have a conversation with him this afternoon
Speaker 8: and he shared that this neck stiffness that he's been
Speaker 8: dealing with, it was something that he just woke up
Speaker 8: with it. Unfortunately, as we are getting older, that is
Speaker 8: something that does happen for all of us. We all
Speaker 8: can relate to that. But he said, you know, it
Speaker 8: was in Arizona, so when the team's on the road,
Speaker 8: and he was able to play through it at the beginning,
Speaker 8: even that first day where it was really bothering him,
Speaker 8: that was the game where she had a double, and
Speaker 8: so it wasn't impacting him.
Speaker 9: Until of course it was.
Speaker 8: And so with that, he just felt like whether it
Speaker 8: was how he was turning his neck trying to see
Speaker 8: the picture, swinging the bat, obviously playing catch, he's as
Speaker 8: much as he's been.
Speaker 9: Able to do a little bit of that right now, that's.
Speaker 8: Where it was really causing him some pain where he
Speaker 8: just felt like he couldn't be behind the play and
Speaker 8: in a position to help support the team. So ultimately,
Speaker 8: it more of right now is just some inflammation that
Speaker 8: he's dealing in his neck, dealing with kind of a
Speaker 8: disc on his right side. He doesn't really have any
Speaker 8: high level of concern or anything when it comes to that.
Speaker 8: So he's hopeful that once this ten day IL stint
Speaker 8: comes to an end, which it was backdated to June eighth,
Speaker 8: he feels that he should be good to go.
Speaker 5: Dodgers making a move Chucky Robinson gets called up.
Speaker 3: He's been in the league a couple of times.
Speaker 8: He has, and of course you know he's been with
Speaker 8: spring training with Dodgers as well. He's with the team
Speaker 8: last year got called up for a little bit similar
Speaker 8: situation in which Will Smith as well as Dalton Rushing.
Speaker 8: Of course, we're dealing with a little bit of injuries
Speaker 8: at the back end of last year. So the good
Speaker 8: news is that he knows the pitching staff well. Especially
Speaker 8: they also have to think we've had a lot of
Speaker 8: guys on the IL. That means that they've been with
Speaker 8: the Triple A OKC team and they've been rehabbing.
Speaker 9: So he has worked a lot with the pictures.
Speaker 8: So he's gonna actually have the start tomorrow in Chicago
Speaker 8: against the White Sox and then should have another one
Speaker 8: in that raise series when the Dodgers come back to
Speaker 8: Los Angeles.
Speaker 9: So they feel really good as to where.
Speaker 8: He is and even with talking to him, he's felt
Speaker 8: like while he hasn't really made any mechanical changes per se,
Speaker 8: he just feels like he's in a good groove offensively,
Speaker 8: and so hopefully when his name is called he can
Speaker 8: have some not only contribute behind the play, but even
Speaker 8: you know, offensively as well well.
Speaker 5: The Dodgers need to get back on track Tonight's really
Speaker 5: the bullpen needs to get back on track and get out.
Speaker 3: Of Pittsburgh with the series. Winn Kirsten, we appreciate it.
Speaker 3: Stay dry, let's at the rain mood through. That is
Speaker 3: certainly a good side. We'll talk to you after the game.
Speaker 5: Still, they come here on Wrongo because you know, Dodgers
Speaker 5: on Deck will dive deeper into this pitching matchup. David
Speaker 5: Vatsa joins us throughout the hour. We'll hear from Charlie
Speaker 5: Steiner as well. But I'm next we get an injury
Speaker 5: your report and we'll check in with the manager Dave

Speaker 5: Long, Morongo because Cino Dodgers on Deck continues on this
Speaker 5: Thursday afternoons. He leads you up to first pitch Dodgers

Speaker 5: Casino Resort and Spy a Grand Slam, four good times.
Speaker 5: Justin Robleski on the mound first pitch, coming up at
Speaker 5: three forty, He's.
Speaker 1: The LA Dodgers injury.
Speaker 5: Report is it by UCLA Healthy official medical partner of
Speaker 5: the Los Angeles Dodgers. Will Smith officially goes to the
Speaker 5: IL Retroactives last week with neck inflammation. Chuckie Robinson gets
Speaker 5: called up from Triple A ok SE Adult Rushill be
Speaker 5: behind the plate though tonight starting for the Dodgers to
Speaker 5: ask her Hernandez on the I yelt the left hamstring strain,
Speaker 5: kyk Hernandez on the iel with the left O leak injury,
Speaker 5: Tyler Glass now Blake Snell and when Diaz all working
Speaker 5: their way back from injuries. Brock Stewart on the I
Speaker 5: yel at the left bone spur in his foots he
Speaker 5: is throwing off a mountain sin games and Tommy Heman
Speaker 5: continues his minor league rehab assignment covering from off season
Speaker 5: ankle surgery, we head back out to Pittsburgh and check
Speaker 5: it with the Dodger skibber.
Speaker 1: Some questions for Dave, Dave, can you just describe Dave?
Speaker 1: Can you talk about the pressure in the dugouts with
Speaker 1: Dave Robberts.
Speaker 10: I see Chucky catching tomorrow, catching rookie tomorrow, and then
Speaker 10: Dalton will probably catch Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and then I
Speaker 10: Chuck you will catch Tuesday, and then you know, then
Speaker 10: we have the off day on Thursday, I think, and
Speaker 10: then hopefully at that point in time, you know there's
Speaker 10: a real conversation that we'll.
Speaker 8: We'll be back with He was mentioning that it's just
Speaker 8: kind of the inflemation on that right side potentially disrelated.
Speaker 8: Does that have any concern for you or you just
Speaker 8: feel based off what he's been telling you that a
Speaker 8: just ten day stint could be a good spot for him.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 11: I think that's more.
Speaker 10: It's just kind of talking to Will, talking to the trainers,
Speaker 10: and just not really wanting it to go in reverse.
Speaker 10: And I think that it's certainly probably playable if we needed,
Speaker 10: but to what cost? And I think that right now,
Speaker 10: I just don't think it's smart to, you know, run
Speaker 10: Will out there just because he's Will Smith and he'll
Speaker 10: do it. We got to take care of his health
Speaker 10: for this year, and so I think that I don't
Speaker 10: think it's a serious thing, but I do think that
Speaker 10: us taking care of it right now on the front
Speaker 10: end will pay benefits, you know later.
Speaker 7: On preferences or concerns about who you are chucky with.
Speaker 10: As far as the picture, no, I think the only
Speaker 10: person I really feel really convicted on is having rushing
Speaker 10: with show Hey, just because I think he's just been
Speaker 10: around show hay More.
Speaker 5: All right, there's a manager, Dave Roberts, talking about what
Speaker 5: they're going to do with the cat catching situation between
Speaker 5: Dalton Russian and Chuckie Robinson. Moving forward again, Will Smith
Speaker 5: going to the injured list. So we continue here on
Speaker 5: Moroco Casino Dodgers on Deck. We check in with the
Speaker 5: David Vasse as we lead up to first pitch from
Speaker 5: Pittsburgh Dodgers and Pirates. I'm Tim Kates is back to
Speaker 5: back World Series Champion Dodgers Aldyo 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 5: Dodgers Empirates squaring off one final time from Pittsburgh Dodgers Baseball,
Speaker 5: brought to by Alpoto, born in La Made for your game.
Speaker 5: Dale Poto brings authentic Mexican style tomato, sauces, salses and
Speaker 5: hot sauces right to your table every single time.
Speaker 3: El Poto Gourmet and a.
Speaker 1: Can joining Tim Kates on Dodgers on Deck.
Speaker 4: I accept everybody for who they are.
Speaker 1: This is Dodger insider David Basse right DV.
Speaker 5: Alex Frielan made the opening day roster, starting second basement.
Speaker 5: Got a lot of runway as day Roberts like to say,
Speaker 5: to start the season, got sitting down.
Speaker 3: Was certainly disappointed.
Speaker 5: But this second time around, Alex Freelands look different, hasn't he?
Speaker 2: He really has.
Speaker 4: The one thing that's remained the same is the solid
Speaker 4: defense in the field for the game at second base.
Speaker 4: Since he was recalled from Oklahoma City twelve games ago,
Speaker 4: he has thirty at bats and his OPS is eight
Speaker 4: oh five compared to where it was before in his
Speaker 4: first thirty three games this season a six forty six
Speaker 4: OPS and the strikeout to walk ratio is much better.
Speaker 4: It's like what we saw in spring training. He struck
Speaker 4: out seven times so far and has six walks since
Speaker 4: returning from Oklahoma City. Maybe his best game of the
Speaker 4: year was on the last road trip, where he had
Speaker 4: four hits. I had a chance to catch up with
Speaker 4: him right after that game, and obviously feeling good about himself.
Speaker 3: It's a night and day difference. I feel like myself,
Speaker 3: I feel.
Speaker 11: Like I'm having fun and it's just fun. Yeah.
Speaker 4: It just seems a lot more comfortable this time around,
Speaker 4: and I think he understands what it's like to be here,
Speaker 4: what's expected being here now for a third different time.
Speaker 4: So until tom Yedman returns, Alex Friedman is Alex Freeman
Speaker 4: is going to be the starting second baseman.
Speaker 5: Dan is brought to you by Ford Here for those
Speaker 5: who build America, especially those who believe they given everything
Speaker 5: today will pay off tomorrow, for those who drive America
Speaker 5: forward for two hundred and fifty years to come. Right now,
Speaker 5: Ford is offering employee pricing to everyone. Get to your
Speaker 5: Southern California Ford Dealers today or by fordnow dot com.
Speaker 5: All right, we're getting closer and closer to that trade deadline, David,
Speaker 5: It's still about a month and a half away, but
Speaker 5: we're getting closer.
Speaker 3: Trek Scouble. What's the latest on the trade rumors.
Speaker 4: Well, the biggest thing everybody keeps talking about Trek Scouble.
Speaker 4: He's actually returning on Saturday, just over a month after
Speaker 4: having that nanoscope procedure on his left pitching elbow. That's
Speaker 4: significant news as it surrounds Tarrek Scubel. But my understanding
Speaker 4: is the Tigers are going to take this closer to
Speaker 4: the end of July, if not on the trading deadline
Speaker 4: of August two, to see how far they're out, whether
Speaker 4: or not they got back into the wildcard race or
Speaker 4: at the very least the Al Central race, because that's
Speaker 4: more that's more realistic for them to be able to
Speaker 4: get into the postseason winning their division. They're eight games back,
Speaker 4: they're twenty nine to forty. The chances of that happening
Speaker 4: are not high, but the Tigers GM Scott Harris. My
Speaker 4: understanding is he's going to wait until, at the very least,
Speaker 4: like I said, the end of July before making a
Speaker 4: decision on whether or not the Tigers wave the white
Speaker 4: flag on the season and trade Tarrek Scuble. But Saturday
Speaker 4: is a big day and I think for all teams,
Speaker 4: they all want to see how Scooble looks coming off
Speaker 4: that nanoscope procedure where doctor elatrosh removed one bone chip
Speaker 4: from that left elbow. It only took thirty minutes, so
Speaker 4: not very invasive at all.
Speaker 5: All right, David, We're gonna see Justin Robleski get the
Speaker 5: start today, chance to get to his eighth win of
Speaker 5: this season. He's been really good and consistent for this
Speaker 5: Dodgers team this year when they needed him. Does he
Speaker 5: have a case to get to Philadelphia for this All
Speaker 5: Star Game?
Speaker 4: I think he does. I mean, you look at the
Speaker 4: Dodgers locks. In my opinion, it's a Pajez, it's Otani,
Speaker 4: it's Muncie and Yamamoto. For me, those are the locks.
Speaker 4: And how could you say no to Justin Robleski, especially
Speaker 4: if he wins tonight's game and his era is under three.
Speaker 4: So I know he's not a household name, but he's
Speaker 4: a guy that certainly has earned a lot of attention,
Speaker 4: and it's gonna have to come from the players and
Speaker 4: coaches votes to get Robleski on there. I know Dave
Speaker 4: Roberts is the manager, maybe he has some say if
Speaker 4: guys can't pitch on that Midsummer Classic in Philly.
Speaker 2: But I feel like if Robleski.
Speaker 4: Continues to get closer to ten wins before the first
Speaker 4: half is over and his era is under three, you
Speaker 4: gotta believe he's joining those other stars.
Speaker 5: Let's hope he can get to Philadelphia, all right, David,
Speaker 5: appreciate well, check back you with you just a little
Speaker 5: bit coming up here. I'm Wrongo Casino Dodgers on deck.
Speaker 5: We'll get you your magical moment and we'll hear from

Speaker 5: had the lead yesterday, only to see it dissipate and
Speaker 5: lose Justin Robleski on the mound today in the series finale.
Speaker 5: Time now for the Verizon startup as we are thirty
Speaker 5: five minutes away from the start of the game. Now
Speaker 5: for Yson, you can lock in that low price for
Speaker 5: three years so you can save big. Visit your so
Speaker 5: called for rising store today we say hello to Charlie Steiner.
Speaker 1: All right, Tim.
Speaker 6: The rubber game of the three game series, the Pirates
Speaker 6: came from behind last night, beating the Dodgers nine to eight.
Speaker 6: Having said that, the Dodgers still at forty three and
Speaker 6: twenty five in first place, seven and a half in
Speaker 6: front of the Padres, eight and a half in front
Speaker 6: of Arizona. The Dodgers have won five of eight, twelve
Speaker 6: of seventeen, fourteen of twenty and nineteen of their last
Speaker 6: thirty and are on a pace to win one hundred
Speaker 6: and two games. Despite last night's lost, the Buccos at
Speaker 6: thirty five and thirty three in third place in the.
Speaker 2: National League Central.
Speaker 6: Everybody's been talking about the Knicks and the Spurs last
Speaker 6: night and the excitement and one of the things bo
Speaker 6: in general, that game, the way it played itself out,
Speaker 6: that is why we like sports. We don't know what's
Speaker 6: gonna happen, but when it does, it does something to
Speaker 6: us that few other escapades can.
Speaker 7: Yeah, let me just let people in on a little bit.
Speaker 7: I gave you a call immediately after the Knicks that
Speaker 7: miraculous come from behind because you had been since you
Speaker 7: were a kid, a fan of the New York Knickaboxers
Speaker 7: and the basketball team, so you were kind of celebrating.
Speaker 7: And I don't think there was anybody that thought there
Speaker 7: was a chance looking at that game. There are a lot
Speaker 7: of people here in Pittsburgh didn't think there's a chance
Speaker 7: for the Pirates to come back last night. But that's happened.
Speaker 7: And once you come into the ballpark, you truly never
Speaker 7: know what's going to happen. In the sporting event.
Speaker 2: Itself.
Speaker 1: That's why we love sports.
Speaker 6: So Otani last night pitched reasonably well, left the game
Speaker 6: leading six to three after six and two thirds. Dodgers
Speaker 6: are only six and five and his eleven starts this year,
Speaker 6: so that is fascinating. But what is perhaps a bit
Speaker 6: more problematic the bullpen has become an issue.
Speaker 7: It has with the number of runs that may give
Speaker 7: it up now recently in the number of innings pitch
Speaker 7: that used to be closed the door. The game's over
Speaker 7: once the Dodgers turn it over to the bullpen.
Speaker 1: That has not been the.
Speaker 7: Case, as you mentioned of recent times. And I do know,
Speaker 7: and not giving away trade secrets, that there were some
Speaker 7: conversations going on between a couple of coaches and a
Speaker 7: couple of relievers. By chance, they talk every day to
Speaker 7: begin with and getting ready for the game, but there
Speaker 7: were maybe some in depth conversations about maybe not pitch selection,
Speaker 7: but maybe refining pitches just to make sure everybody gets
Speaker 7: back on track. It's something's done each and every day
Speaker 7: during his season. It's nothing out of the ordinary. But
Speaker 7: the coaches do a wonderful job and keeping in touch
Speaker 7: with the players and also not letting them get too
Speaker 7: frustrated and get down on things.
Speaker 6: Last fourteen games, the bullpen era seven seventy one, opponent's
Speaker 6: hitting two to eighty three against him, and they've given
Speaker 6: up twelve home runs in forty two innings. And so
Speaker 6: while the Dodgers starters have been terrific of late, the
Speaker 6: bullpen is beginning to spring some leaks.
Speaker 7: Yeah, and some of the guys have to figure out
Speaker 7: a way to carry the load on top of it.
Speaker 7: Can't keep going to the same guys over and over
Speaker 7: and over. Bessie came into the seventh inning and retired
Speaker 7: the last batter that he was going to face and
Speaker 7: then turn it over to the rest of the bullpen.
Speaker 7: Kyle Hurt had trouble, and then for Jack Dryer, and
Speaker 7: he continues to ask some probble and the home runs
Speaker 7: are being given up late in the ballgames. Pittsburgh Pirates,
Speaker 7: I mentioned before Game one of this series. Don't take
Speaker 7: the Pirates for granted because they score runs. In fact,
Speaker 7: I'll repeat it again, when you look at the run
Speaker 7: scored for the Pittsburgh Pirates, they came in a last
Speaker 7: night's game sixth highest run scored in all of baseball,
Speaker 7: and they proved that again last night.
Speaker 6: Pitching matchup tonight for the Dodgers. Robleski seven and two,
Speaker 6: most wins of any Dodger starter, a two sixty two er,
Speaker 6: that's the second lowest ra among all the Dodgers starters.
Speaker 6: He's held opponents to a two to fourteen average his
Speaker 6: last start at Arizona six scoreless. In fact, his last
Speaker 6: two starts one earned run in thirteen innings, thirteen strikeouts,
Speaker 6: two walks. Facing Mitch Keller, who has had his head
Speaker 6: handed to him in his last five starts. So the
Speaker 6: Dodgers are sending out a very hot starter in rob
Speaker 6: Leski tonight.
Speaker 7: Yeah, he's been a breath of fresh air, and especially
Speaker 7: coming in with injuries in that starting rotation, gonna be
Speaker 7: interesting to watch. Freddy Freeman also against Keller tonight. You
Speaker 7: mentioned Keller has had some difficulty, in particular the last
Speaker 7: couple of outings, but he's had difficulty with Freddy Freeman.
Speaker 7: How much difficulty? Well, Freeman has faced him eighteen times.
Speaker 7: How's he done? He has nine hits, so that's not bad.
Speaker 7: He hitting five hundred. We'll see what happens tonight in
Speaker 7: that matchup.
Speaker 6: Freeman has been red hot the last three weeks or
Speaker 6: so the Dodgers at forty three and twenty five, the
Speaker 6: rubber game of the three game set. Next stop to
Speaker 6: the South side of Chicago, the baddest part of town,
Speaker 6: a three game series with the White Sox after tonight's
Speaker 6: game in Pittsburgh.

Speaker 1: This is high and tight.
Speaker 4: We're getting set for first pitch between the Dodgers and Pirates,
Speaker 4: and we're joined right now by one of the best
Speaker 4: national riders in the country, that is USA Today's own
Speaker 4: Bob Ninguel. Bob, thanks a lot for the time.
Speaker 11: I appreciate it, My Butcher, thanks, thanks as always, David.
Speaker 4: A little known fact, Bob Nightingale covered the Dodgers once
Speaker 4: upon a time for the La Times. What do you
Speaker 4: remember the most about your experience covering the Dodgers on
Speaker 4: a daily basis in the eighties and nineties.
Speaker 13: You know, I was actually living in northern San Diego
Speaker 13: and so traffic wasn't that bad. I originally with the
Speaker 13: La Times to cover the Potres and the Angels and
Speaker 13: the Dodgers.
Speaker 11: So yeah, great time.
Speaker 13: It was a fun thing and nothing there was nothing
Speaker 13: like Vero Beach. I still remember it was a guy
Speaker 13: no one want to call his name. Out was suburban paper.
Speaker 13: So it was the lockout year. So it was actually
Speaker 13: a long spring. You remember that the food was unbelievable
Speaker 13: Vero Beach. You know, you're drinking every night and stuff.
Speaker 13: This guy gained forty pounds in spring training?
Speaker 11: Was that eighty one? No, no, this is a lockout
Speaker 11: for ninety four ninety five.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, so you were you were stuck in the
Speaker 4: lockout at Vero Beach, Florida.
Speaker 11: Yeah, it was unbelievable.
Speaker 13: So, you know, had all replacement players, Tommy holding court
Speaker 13: every day, and I just thought that was so cool.
Speaker 13: You know, you're doing your stories or someone asking for
Speaker 13: your what cocktail you want your dining? You know there's
Speaker 13: Colfax in one chair, there's Drysdale. But you know, it
Speaker 13: was just a great time.
Speaker 4: The new generation only knows Eric Carrows as the broadcaster,
Speaker 4: but ninety four ninety three when you were covering the Dodgers.
Speaker 4: Mike Piazza and Eric Carrows were the two biggest stars
Speaker 4: in LA at that time. What do you remember the
Speaker 4: most about covering Mike Piazza and Eric Carross the players
Speaker 4: with the Dodgers.
Speaker 13: Yeah, just had how much fun they used to have.
Speaker 13: I mean they were the Golden Boys, the Gamoral Boys.
Speaker 13: Think I lived together at that point in Manhattan Beach
Speaker 13: and uh so, yeah, it was fun. Uh you know,
Speaker 13: remember going on the road with those guys and just
Speaker 13: it was like one big family. But yeah, tremendous guys.
Speaker 13: And then both guys were a blasphy around and it
Speaker 13: was it was it was a fun time.
Speaker 11: I mean, I uh, you know, will never see those
Speaker 11: times again. Those a blast back then.
Speaker 2: Bob Night.
Speaker 4: Gail is our guest for USA Today. You were with
Speaker 4: the Dodgers when they were in Arizona last week. What
Speaker 4: do you take away from your time being around the
Speaker 4: team and just the perception of the Dodgers around Major
Speaker 4: League Baseball Just how.
Speaker 11: Deep they are.
Speaker 13: I mean, they've had all these injuries. You know, Lookie
Speaker 13: Betts has come back. You'll struggle a little bit, obviously,
Speaker 13: some guys haven't performed like they hoped. You know, they
Speaker 13: loser Snell and Glass now and they don't blink. That's amazing,
Speaker 13: you know, like we talked about David, I mean, having
Speaker 13: you know, eleven twelve home drawn players is amazing and
Speaker 13: they haven't they haven't blinked. And you know how many
Speaker 13: teams can survive losing this many players and you know,
Speaker 13: two fists or a string rotation and say hey, we're fine.
Speaker 11: And you know they give them credit. I mean a
Speaker 11: lot of patients.
Speaker 13: I mean everyone in Sasaki back in the Miron leagues,
Speaker 13: at least in the bullpen. They said, no, he'll be fine,
Speaker 13: he'll be fine, and sure enough, you know he's pitching
Speaker 13: better than ever.
Speaker 2: Bob.
Speaker 4: We are witnessing maybe the greatest player of all time
Speaker 4: and maybe the greatest season of all time. And show, hey, Otani,
Speaker 4: is there anything more that can be added to what
Speaker 4: he's doing? Are are we failing to appreciate fully what
Speaker 4: we are watching in real time?
Speaker 13: I think we are. I mean now we're gonna tanking,
Speaker 13: for granted, A mess of them are. When he came
Speaker 13: over his first spring training, people said, oh, he's a bust.
Speaker 13: He's never going to do this, and uh, I remembera
Speaker 13: coming the Dodgers with the Hideo Nomo and they said
Speaker 13: the same thing about Nomo. But just you know, uh,
Speaker 13: you know, each row a lot of times when the
Speaker 13: guys come from Japan, it's just the first spring, it's
Speaker 13: filling out process and one's lights come on, they turn
Speaker 13: it on and sure enough, I mean I was looking
Speaker 13: to fit way too much time looking up.
Speaker 11: Babe Ruth's best years in.
Speaker 13: Uh, you know, pitching and hitting, you know, and never
Speaker 13: you know, did he win over you know, ten games
Speaker 13: and hit over twenty home runs? So we always say, oh,
Speaker 13: best player, says s Babe Roof. Well maybe he's the
Speaker 13: best player ever, you know. And going past Babe.
Speaker 4: Roof, yeah, I mean you can't even compare the talent
Speaker 4: level that Otani is facing each and every night as
Speaker 4: a hitter compared to who Babe Ruth faced as a
Speaker 4: hitter when he was playing.
Speaker 11: Absolutely And I was stunned.
Speaker 13: You know, when the the game last week when he
Speaker 13: pitched against the Diamondbacks, he was on base five times.
Speaker 13: I think he was on you know, I don't remember
Speaker 13: him going the dugoup maybe once.
Speaker 11: And I was talking mcguil Rojas.
Speaker 13: After that game, he says, I don't think he sat
Speaker 13: down the entire time, but just his energy level. I
Speaker 13: thought for sure when he was, you know, hang on
Speaker 13: the bases and having to rush in and you know,
Speaker 13: grab his glove to wear him out.
Speaker 11: Never did.
Speaker 4: Hey, Bob, what would it take for Otani to get
Speaker 4: the vote over at Christopher Sanchez or Jacob Mazerowski to
Speaker 4: win the cy Young He's never won that award.
Speaker 11: What would it take.
Speaker 13: I think he's staggering ERA certainly below two, maybe below
Speaker 13: you know one six, something like that. Uh, you know,
Speaker 13: certainly blow one will do it. So he's knocking at
Speaker 13: the innings those two wetter guys. You know, he's you know,
Speaker 13: going to be on the edge of qualifying. He's got
Speaker 13: to make sure to qualify and win the ERA title.
Speaker 13: And I think Dave Robert says to be cogniz of that.
Speaker 13: To make sare he gets a horn sixty two winnings,
Speaker 13: so he qualifies as long as he does that, you know,
Speaker 13: if he wins the er Towel, particularly a low himount,
Speaker 13: I like his chances over Misrowski, you know, in a
Speaker 13: Sanchez as well. And we'll see about those guys. Can
Speaker 13: keep it up. You know, mis Roskiet thrown that hard.
Speaker 13: Not many pitches, you know, you almost you know, rush
Speaker 13: your fingers. I got to hope this kid never gets hurt.
Speaker 4: Well, it's not out of the realm of possibility. It's
Speaker 4: not out of the question for Otani to win the
Speaker 4: cy Young and MVP, because Clayton Kershaw did that not
Speaker 4: so long ago in twenty fourteen.
Speaker 13: Oh absolutely, you know, Justin Verlander did it too, and
Speaker 13: I think right now he's by far the runaway winner
Speaker 13: for the MVP.
Speaker 11: I don't think there's any many close to him MVP wise,
Speaker 11: not even Matt Olsen.
Speaker 13: I don't uh, you know, Matt Olson's had a great year,
Speaker 13: but still there's just a big gap between and of
Speaker 13: course the the catcher ball when he was doing great
Speaker 13: too win Atlanta until he got hurt, and he'll take
Speaker 13: some boats away, But no, I think it's I think
Speaker 13: that's a big, big gap.
Speaker 11: I really do, Bob.
Speaker 4: Thanks a lot for the time, and look forward to
Speaker 4: seeing you in the postseason with the Dodgers.
Speaker 11: Yeah.
Speaker 13: I think I've covered every postseason game since the COVID year,
Speaker 13: so two thousand and one on, So look forward to it.
Speaker 11: As always, David, thank you.

Speaker 11: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Now, before the Dodgers hit the dining we look at
Speaker 1: the pitching matchouts.
Speaker 3: Got to you buy your Toyota dealers. We make it easy.
Speaker 5: Mitch Keller on the mound for Pittsburgh five and three,
Speaker 5: four eighty one. Eer Ray, a thirty year old right hander,
Speaker 5: eighth season in the Big leagues, all with the Pirates
Speaker 5: fastball sweeper sinker, making his fourteenth start this year. The
Speaker 5: last two starts have been rough. He has given up
Speaker 5: a combined thirteen earned runs. Last time out four to
Speaker 5: two third innings six runs on seven hits on the
Speaker 5: loss of the Atlanta Braves. Keller as a six to
Speaker 5: fifty nine r Ray in six career starts against the Dodgers,
Speaker 5: he had a no decision after allowing three runs over
Speaker 5: six innings and his last start against him, which came
Speaker 5: on April twenty sixth last year at Dodgers Stadium. His
Speaker 5: last start against the Dodgers at PNC Park April twenty seventh,
Speaker 5: twenty twenty three. He won that decision. He had ten
Speaker 5: strikeouts over six innings. Justin Robleski on the mound for
Speaker 5: the Dodgers seven and two with the two to sixty
Speaker 5: two r Ray, the twenty five year old left hander
Speaker 5: in his season. Third season now in the big leagues
Speaker 5: as a full time member of the rotation, He's been
Speaker 5: really good, making his eleven start twelfth appearance, He's got
Speaker 5: sixty eight and two third innings underneath his belt already,
Speaker 5: which is now a career high. He is looking to
Speaker 5: become the seventh member of the eight win club in
Speaker 5: the major leagues, in the fifth in the National League.
Speaker 5: Last time out, six shutout innings for Justin Robleski against
Speaker 5: the Arizona Diamondbacks last week, he scattered six hits while
Speaker 5: striking out four. He was on his way to a
Speaker 5: win until the Dodgers lost and he got a no decision.
Speaker 3: In Phoenix.
Speaker 5: He has faced the Pittsburgh Pirates one time in his
Speaker 5: young career, September third, last year. In relief, he went
Speaker 5: two scoreless Indians while not allowing to hit and striking.
Speaker 3: Out a pair. Justin Robleski Mitch Keller.
Speaker 5: The pitching matchup Dodgers Empirates in this finale. After today,
Speaker 5: the Dodgers will hop aboard their charter head to Chicago
Speaker 5: for a three game series against the White Sox on
Speaker 5: the South side of Chicago, and then head back home.
Speaker 5: But first things first, take care of business tonight and
Speaker 5: get this series win against the Buckos. We're fifteen minutes
Speaker 5: away for first pitch, keys to the game. Our next,
Speaker 5: Tim Kates, is the back to back World Series champion
Speaker 5: Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 1: This is Marongo Casino Dodgers on Tack on your Home
Speaker 1: for the Blue all season long.
Speaker 5: Dodgers and Pirates squaring off one more time at PNC Parks.
Speaker 5: Justin Robleski Mitch Keller the pitching matchup in the series finale.
Speaker 3: As we get you ready.
Speaker 5: For the start of the game on this Thursday with
Speaker 5: the Sapporo Start get great moments started with Sapporo Beer,
Speaker 5: whatever your taste preference. Sapporo has you covered with a
Speaker 5: variety of crisp and refreshing loggers, including light and non
Speaker 5: alcoholic beers. Sapporo good with sushi, great with baseball. Before
Speaker 5: first pitch, we head back out to the booth one
Speaker 5: final time. Tim never Rickmundy, Guys.
Speaker 2: Tim, thanks again. We're counting you down to the first pitch.
Speaker 2: Tonight in Pittsburgh, the final game of this three games
Speaker 2: sent even at a win apiece after the Pirates largest
Speaker 2: comeback win of the season last night, down six to one,
Speaker 2: came back to win at nine to eight. Tonight, Justin
Speaker 2: Robleski gets the call. He is seven and two on
Speaker 2: a two six two earned run average. Robusky's pitching quite
Speaker 2: well and it seems like he has figured a lot
Speaker 2: of things out ball pitching with a ton of confidence.
Speaker 7: Yeah, and four and one on the road with an
Speaker 7: ERA is two point three to one. On top of that,
Speaker 7: just one home run of the four that he has
Speaker 7: served up this year have been away from Dodgers Stadium,
Speaker 7: so he has really been a breath of fresh air
Speaker 7: when desperately needed. Because the injuries into starting rotation until
Speaker 7: those guys get back, Robleski has really worked in there
Speaker 7: very steadily. Dodgers have to figure out Mitch Keller. They've
Speaker 7: seen him before. And for Keller, if you look at home,
Speaker 7: his ERA is higher than it is on the road.
Speaker 7: The other part two is that a Keller, he's given
Speaker 7: up seven stolen bases. Now that may sound a little
Speaker 7: bit high, but consider the pack last year he gave
Speaker 7: up twenty three, so he's improved in that area. He
Speaker 7: may cut down in the running game.
Speaker 2: So the left handed starter formula for the Pirates has
Speaker 2: not been good. They've got the second worst record tied
Speaker 2: with the Rockies at five I haven twelve against left
Speaker 2: handed starters this year. So the Dodgers hoping that comes
Speaker 2: into play as they try to pick up a win
Speaker 2: and take this series and block up their forty fourth
Speaker 2: victory of the year. Dodgers and the Pirates from PNC Park,
Speaker 2: coming up shortly, Jim all Right.
Speaker 5: First pitch, right around the corner. Dodgers forty three and
Speaker 5: twenty five. They go into play seven and a half
Speaker 5: games up on the San Diego Padres, who are idle today.
Speaker 5: They finished off their series in Cincinnati yesterday with the
Speaker 5: win off. Today they start a three game weekend set
Speaker 5: in Baltimore over the weekend against the Orioles. Meanwhile, the
Speaker 5: Arizon and Diamondbacks already lost today.
Speaker 3: They got shut out.
Speaker 5: To nothing in Miami by the Marlins. So the Diamondbacks,
Speaker 5: losers of three in a row, are now nine games
Speaker 5: back in the division. So Dodgers seven and a half
Speaker 5: games up, a chance to get a half game even
Speaker 5: further ahead of San Diego with a win today. Take
Speaker 5: care of business, Dodgers, let's go. First pitches next from
Speaker 5: P and C Park. Enjoyed, everybody. I'm Tim Kates and
Speaker 5: this has been Moroco Casino Dodgers on deck on your
Speaker 5: home in the back to back World.
