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.
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: Yeah, it's a singular focus on controlling what they can control.

Speaker 8: Well yesterday, well two hour and ten.
Speaker 7: Minute rain delay didn't damper the mood for the Dodgers
Speaker 7: as they took on the Washington Nationals in the series finale.
Speaker 7: Rokie Susaki got the start, win five innings. He allowed
Speaker 7: six runs on five hits and struck out five along
Speaker 7: the way Dodgers game in the early one to nothing
Speaker 7: lead thanks to a solo home run from sho hey
Speaker 7: Otani in the third, his second of the season. A
Speaker 7: four hundred and thirty eight foot shot. Dodgers rough one
Speaker 7: to nothing. The bottom of the third inning, Luis Garcia
Speaker 7: Junior with a two run home run, and the Dodgers
Speaker 7: found themselves down two to one. In the fourth inning,
Speaker 7: some unlucky magic I guess for the Dodgers, whatever you
Speaker 7: want to call it, A ball hits the bag at first,
Speaker 7: goes over the head of Freddie Freeman. Caber Luiz gets
Speaker 7: an RBI single, Then two batters later, James would a
Speaker 7: three run home run.
Speaker 8: Just like that, the Nationals flipped the script up six
Speaker 8: to one.
Speaker 7: Dodgers down in the sixth inning, but not out thanks
Speaker 7: to Dalton Rushing.
Speaker 2: Puland's two to two pitch to Dalton Rushing, and Rushing
Speaker 2: hits it high in the ear to right field in
Speaker 2: deep Wood is back. He is at the wall and
Speaker 2: it's into the National bullpen. Dalton Rushing chips away in
Speaker 2: a big way, a two run home and it's now
Speaker 2: six to three on Dalton Rushings first of the year.
Speaker 7: Two run home run for the Dodger catcher. Dodgers down
Speaker 7: six to three. You knew they were going to make
Speaker 7: another effort late in this game to get back into it,
Speaker 7: and that's exactly what they did.
Speaker 8: In the eighth.
Speaker 7: The Dodgers loaded the bases, nobody out for Santiago Espenal.
Speaker 2: Still one and two on spen All bases loaded, no outs.
Speaker 2: The pitch spen All in the air left center field,
Speaker 2: down for a hit. One run is in. Freeman scores.
Speaker 2: Here comes Pa has to throw his late it's a
Speaker 2: one run game. Spin All drives in a pair and
Speaker 2: the Dodgers have something special cooking in the eighth.
Speaker 9: Well, that's a big advent obviously in this ball game.
Speaker 9: In for Espinal, remember he was down one ball, two strikes.
Speaker 9: He fouled off a breaking ball and then he got
Speaker 9: another pitch and just sent it into left center field.
Speaker 7: Thiago Espinal with the two runs single, Dodges down six
Speaker 7: to five, and they weren't done. Kyle Tucker comes off
Speaker 7: the bench as a pinch hitter fielders choice. S gooins
Speaker 7: Alex call that tied the game at six and show
Speaker 7: Hey otanias sackfly to left that brought in the go
Speaker 7: ahead run. Dodgers with four runs in the eighth yesterday
Speaker 7: took the lead seven to sixth The Taskar Hernandez a
Speaker 7: solo home run to left in the ninth made it
Speaker 7: an eight to six game, and when Diaz ballgame over
Speaker 7: closed out the bottom half of the ninth inning got
Speaker 7: all three batters that he faced as the Dodgers, with
Speaker 7: their fifth comfort behind win of this season, beat the
Speaker 7: Washington Nationals eight to six. Year Final. Dodgers waited out
Speaker 7: the rain delay and they get the win. It was
Speaker 7: worth it now seven to two on this season, a
Speaker 7: day at which Mookie Betts went on the injured list,
Speaker 7: the Dodgers still able to get the victory, and now
Speaker 7: they're in Toronto for the first of three against the
Speaker 7: Blue Jays, a rematch of last year's World Series. Justin
Speaker 7: Robleski on the mount in the series opener, first pitch
Speaker 7: at four to zero seven. With more we head out
Speaker 7: to the Calvin Ford broadcast both as we say hello
Speaker 7: to Steven Nelson and Rick Monday.
Speaker 2: Guys, Tim Kats, it is great to be back in Toronto,
Speaker 2: the Dodgers and Blue Jays meeting for the first time
Speaker 2: in one hundred and fifty seven days. Moll, that's how
Speaker 2: much time has passed since Game seven of an epic
Speaker 2: World Series between these two clubs. And it could have
Speaker 2: gone either way and almost did in that series, but
Speaker 2: ultimately the Dodgers went back to back.
Speaker 1: There.
Speaker 9: Everybody talks about Game seven, and I mean it was
Speaker 9: a time capsule Game seven, but Game six could have
Speaker 9: been ended also with the Toronto winning the World Championship.
Speaker 9: That happened to not take place. But I think this
Speaker 9: is going to be interesting tonight to see exactly what happens.
Speaker 9: Who gets booed? Rableski, Who's going to start? Yeah, he
Speaker 9: hit a batter during the World Series. They had a
Speaker 9: benches emptied, and he says, I expect to get booed.
Speaker 9: But I think the overall flavor in this town. You know,
Speaker 9: the wound is still rather fresh in fifty seven days. Yeah,
Speaker 9: and I know what it feels like to face the
Speaker 9: team that beat you in the World Series. Experienced it
Speaker 9: a couple of different times, and it is painful. It
Speaker 9: is a wound. And the question is the Dodgers took
Speaker 9: care of business. You and I talked about this. Dodgers
Speaker 9: took care of business against the Nationals. They swept that series. Well, Toronto,
Speaker 9: were they looking ahead to this series a little bit
Speaker 9: too much? Because they not only lost the series of
Speaker 9: the White Sox, they also lost to the Sacramento A's
Speaker 9: and do they have focus. Although I'll say this, Toronto
Speaker 9: is banged up physically and they got a big injury
Speaker 9: they they found out it's even more compounded today.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that would be Alejandro Kirk. You talk about painful
Speaker 2: memories of Game seven, There's been a lot of pain
Speaker 2: here in twenty twenty six for.
Speaker 8: The Blue Jays.
Speaker 2: No Jose Burrios, no Shane Bieber, trey Ya Savage, who
Speaker 2: burst onto the scene against the Dodgers in the World
Speaker 2: Series and through that postseason, he is on the injury
Speaker 2: ass Cody Ponce, a free agent started they signed from overseas.
Speaker 2: He messed up his ACL He's going to be out
Speaker 2: for a long time. And then Alejandro Kirk, their catcher,
Speaker 2: it took a foul ball off of his thumb on
Speaker 2: his glove hand as a catcher and he had to
Speaker 2: have surgery.
Speaker 8: So he has done.
Speaker 2: Addison Barger exited the series finel against the White Sox
Speaker 2: with two ankle injuries. And Anthony Santunder, who was a
Speaker 2: free agent signing two off seasons ago, He's going to
Speaker 2: be out for a long time too. So the Dodgers
Speaker 2: look they're missing some pieces from that World Series run. Obviously,
Speaker 2: Blake Snell is not here, Keith A. Hernandez is not here,
Speaker 2: but Andy Pajes is here, and he's the National League
Speaker 2: Player of the week well and for good reason.
Speaker 9: So Paz has just done everything in my estimation, I mean,
Speaker 9: the start that he's gotten off to, it's the best
Speaker 9: I think, concentrated area that we have seen this young
Speaker 9: man who just continues to grow, not only offensively but defensively.
Speaker 9: He's running the bases better. On top of it, he's
Speaker 9: a guy that's all of a sudden he's realized he belongs.
Speaker 9: Not only belongs in the big leagues, but he could
Speaker 9: be a big, big influence on what happens in the
Speaker 9: lineup for Dave Roberts elevates him tonight in batting the
Speaker 9: number six point one lineup.
Speaker 2: Note you may have seen the Initi lineup and know
Speaker 2: Will Smith there and alarm bills may have been ringing
Speaker 2: for any of you at home. You can turn those
Speaker 2: alarms off, tim It is just a scheduling reason for
Speaker 2: Will Smith not being in there today. Dave Roberts wants
Speaker 2: Will Smith behind the plate for Yoshinobu Yamamoto and show
Speaker 2: hi Otani starts in this series, so dunt rushing, he
Speaker 2: will take the first crack at it in this series opener,
Speaker 2: we back with a little bit in a bit with
Speaker 2: some keys from mo until then we send it back

Speaker 1: Double and so.
Speaker 2: A third consecutive multi hit game in this series. The
Speaker 2: first pitch from beater old Tani swings and drives one
Speaker 2: the left center field. It is slicing toward Lyle, who
Speaker 2: makes the catch in front of the track. Tagging from

Speaker 7: return to the scene of the crime, Game seven of
Speaker 7: the World Series last November, first Dodger's back there for
Speaker 7: the first time since then.
Speaker 8: What is it like?
Speaker 1: Hereson you know.
Speaker 10: What it's there's a lot of familiarity. That's what it
Speaker 10: feels like being back, and you talk to the guys,
Speaker 10: a few of them are like, it kind of feels
Speaker 10: like we were just here, going back into the hotel. We're
Speaker 10: in the same one that we stayed in when the
Speaker 10: team is here for the World Series. Just being back
Speaker 10: out here, there are so many of those memories. And
Speaker 10: then of course it's the excitement of winning the World Series.
Speaker 10: So you know, right now, it's like when you talk
Speaker 10: to the guys, it's a lot about just what do
Speaker 10: you remember from that game certain moments. Of course, we
Speaker 10: think Andy Paus's catch has come up quite a bit.
Speaker 10: The double play that ended the game has come up.
Speaker 10: Even Dave Roberts was laughing. He was just more of like,
Speaker 10: when he looks at the feeling he has right now
Speaker 10: being in Rogers Center is as far from as anxious
Speaker 10: as he was last year. Obviously, when this team came in,
Speaker 10: they were in a situation where the Blue Jays had
Speaker 10: to win and they had to win one and the
Speaker 10: Dodgers had to win two, and they were they were
Speaker 10: able to, you know, obviously pick up Game six and
Speaker 10: Game seven and facing elimination. So there's a lot of
Speaker 10: really just that there's the excitement of kind of being
Speaker 10: where it all happened, but also there's that feeling of Okay,
Speaker 10: well that was last year. This is a new team
Speaker 10: this year. We have a new goal this year and
Speaker 10: it includes winning the World Series again, creating a three
Speaker 10: p and that's kind of where their mind is at
Speaker 10: at this moment.
Speaker 7: Looking at the lineup right now today, no Will Smith
Speaker 7: in the lineup. Interesting back to back days not in
Speaker 7: the lineup exactly.
Speaker 10: So when we were in DC, Dave Roberts did make
Speaker 10: it clear that he wanted to have adult Rutching start
Speaker 10: one of those three just so that you know that
Speaker 10: Will could be ready. But for this three game series,
Speaker 10: of course they're playing on turf here. But Dave Roberts
Speaker 10: did say that when he saw just kind of a
Speaker 10: party of a bad city, sew them doun't rushing yesterday.
Speaker 10: Of course, you know that home run that put them
Speaker 10: even in a position to really force that comeback against
Speaker 10: the Nationals. He liked that, and he also just looked
Speaker 10: at with this series. He wanted to make sure that
Speaker 10: Dalton got to start in this one and that Will
Speaker 10: was playing two of three, so he just felt like
Speaker 10: it made the most sense for it get him to
Speaker 10: start this one. You know, we obviously hear load management
Speaker 10: and a lot of different sports and all, so I
Speaker 10: think that's like the correct way of saying it for
Speaker 10: what they're doing with Will Smith. But they do want
Speaker 10: to be very mindful of just making sure that he's
Speaker 10: kind of getting maybe like two of three per series,
Speaker 10: especially early, you know in the year.
Speaker 7: Well he gets a day off to at least start
Speaker 7: the game today, maybe some more lady heroic from Will
Speaker 7: Smith will find out how Yeah, absolutely, Garson enjoy it
Speaker 7: head on a swivel. Of course, with all those Blue
Speaker 7: Jay fans there inside Rogers Centators where you're seeing it
Speaker 7: during the game.
Speaker 8: Still they come here.
Speaker 7: I'm Wrongo Casino, Dodgers on deck. We'll dive deeper into
Speaker 7: this pitching matchup David Vasse. We'll check in throughout the
Speaker 7: hour as well. But up next your injury report and
Speaker 7: we hear from Dodgers manager Dave Roberts. It's the Dodgers
Speaker 7: in Blue Jays and Rogers Center in Toronto.
Speaker 8: First pitch at four old seven.
Speaker 7: I'm Tim Katson, the Back to Back World Champion Dodgers
Speaker 7: Audio Network.
Speaker 1: This is Marongo Casino Dodgers on Deck on your home
Speaker 1: for the Blue All season long.
Speaker 7: Wrongo Casino Dodgers on Deck continues as we leach up
Speaker 7: to first pitch Dodgers and the Blue Jays on this
Speaker 7: Monday afternoon Maronggo Casino Resort and Spa a grand slam
Speaker 7: for a good times. Justin Robletsky on the mount first pitch,
Speaker 7: four oh seven.
Speaker 3: It's the LA Dodgers Injury Report.
Speaker 7: Presented by UCLA Healthy Official medical partner the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Speaker 7: Mookie Bets on the iel with the right obleague strain,
Speaker 7: Tommy Emmon on the IEL recovering from off season ankle surgery.
Speaker 7: Blake Snell, Brock Stewart, where is our Grouderol Land and Neck,
Speaker 7: Gavin Stone, Evan Phillips all on the injured.
Speaker 8: List as well.
Speaker 7: Keiki Hernandez on the sixty dail To start twenty twenty six,
Speaker 7: Let's head back out north of the border and get
Speaker 7: the pregame thoughts of the Dodger skipper.
Speaker 5: Any questions for Dave? Dave?
Speaker 1: Can you just describe Dave?
Speaker 5: Can you talk about the pressure.
Speaker 1: In the dugouts? With Dave Roberts.
Speaker 11: Yeah, it feels obviously a lot of great memories. I
Speaker 11: think the thing that I feel is I don't feel
Speaker 11: as much anxiousness as I did the last time. We
Speaker 11: hear understandably so so to come back here and the
Speaker 11: stakes aren't as high as they were in October, it's different.
Speaker 11: But I'm sure the players will be ready to go,
Speaker 11: and the fans are going to be pretty excited.
Speaker 8: Focusing on the players.
Speaker 10: And you look at this lineup today, No Will Smith.
Speaker 10: What led us to that decision to have him ountain
Speaker 10: this game?
Speaker 12: You know?
Speaker 11: I think it was just more of king at the
Speaker 11: schedule and trying to get Dalton in there one game,
Speaker 11: and I really wanted a will to catch Yamamoto and
Speaker 11: show hey got in late last night. Dalton hit a
Speaker 11: homer yesterday, so I felt to get him back in there,
Speaker 11: I thought was a good thing. So it just made sense.
Speaker 11: And he'll play two or three this series and two
Speaker 11: or three the next series and we get home dude
Speaker 11: expects We.
Speaker 8: Started two times a week starts for Dalton early obviously time.
Speaker 5: I think, so, yeah, I like that.
Speaker 11: I mean, I wouldn't say hard and fast, but if
Speaker 11: we can get him a couple starts in a week.
Speaker 11: I think that'd be nice times.
Speaker 5: If you watched the Pie Has Catch.
Speaker 11: I would say probably you know it's you see it,
Speaker 11: you know, at different times on the highlights, So I
Speaker 11: would say probably a dozen times.
Speaker 7: I think I've listened to it, probably fifteen times. Dave Roberts,
Speaker 7: it never gets old hearing those catches from Pie Has,
Speaker 7: the infield play for Miguel Rojas and the ninth and
Speaker 7: of course the home run from Rojas, the whole run
Speaker 7: from Will Smith, and then of course Stephen Nelson's final
Speaker 7: call epic and will always be legendary. When we continue
Speaker 7: here on Morongo Casino Dodgers on Deck, we'll check in.
Speaker 8: With another legend, David Vesse.
Speaker 7: That's next as we leach out to First Pitch Dodgers
Speaker 7: and Blue Jays, a rematch of the World Series from
Speaker 7: Toronto of Tim Kates. Is the batch to back World
Speaker 7: champion Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 3: As we were saying, this is Morongo Casino Dodgers on
Speaker 3: jack on the official home of La Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 7: It's a Dodgers in Blue Jays, the start of a
Speaker 7: three game series from Toronto.
Speaker 8: First Pitch and the Rogers Centers. Coming up at four
Speaker 8: zero seven.
Speaker 7: Dodgers Baseball, brought to you by l Pato, born in
Speaker 7: la and made for your game day. Lapoto brings authentic
Speaker 7: Mexican style tomato sauces, sauces and hot sauces to your table.
Speaker 8: El Pato Gourmet.
Speaker 10: And a can.
Speaker 1: Joining Tim Kats on Dodgers on.
Speaker 6: I accept everybody for who they are.
Speaker 1: This is Dodger insider.
Speaker 8: David all Right, DV. It was November one last fall.
Speaker 7: Doesn't seem like a long time ago that the Dodgers
Speaker 7: won Game seven of that World Series and here they
Speaker 7: are started the season back at the Rogers Center.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and being at the same team hotel as they
Speaker 6: were during the World Series last year. I took the
Speaker 6: same walk back to the hotel and to Rogers Center
Speaker 6: a few times last year, and I took.
Speaker 5: The same path today.
Speaker 6: And maybe the reason why it feel so similar to
Speaker 6: last year is because the temperatures outside tim are thirty
Speaker 6: five degrees similar to what they were last October and November.
Speaker 6: But players have their own different feelings. You'll hear from
Speaker 6: Miguel Rojas a little bit later. But some have told
Speaker 6: me to turn the page and move on to this
Speaker 6: year others are you know.
Speaker 5: Enjoying returning to Toronto.
Speaker 6: I think part of the reason why everybody's so excited
Speaker 6: about this series is because it's happening on the first
Speaker 6: road trip of the year, the first two weeks of
Speaker 6: the season, and it was the greatest World Series we've
Speaker 6: all witnessed. If this is taking place in August, I
Speaker 6: feel like the emotions would be more validated to turn
Speaker 6: the page to twenty twenty six. But one last victory
Speaker 6: lap for the Dodgers here in Toronto.
Speaker 8: That is a great point.
Speaker 7: David is brought to you by the Ford Maverick Motor
Speaker 7: Trains at North America Truck of the Year, the Ford
Speaker 7: and Maverick everything you need in the most innovative truck
Speaker 7: with forty two miles per gawen and the best MSRP
Speaker 7: of its category. It's time to see Ford in a
Speaker 7: new Leigel. You're Southern California Ford Dealers today. All right,
Speaker 7: this oblique and Mookie bets, how bad is it?
Speaker 8: David?
Speaker 5: Well, we saw him leaving the stadium yesterday.
Speaker 6: He was carrying his guitar, his backpack and a man
Speaker 6: purse across his body.
Speaker 5: So obviously not hurting that bad.
Speaker 6: And today we had a chance to catch up with him,
Speaker 6: and he seemed to be optimistic.
Speaker 5: This will not sideline him too long, BOOKI when he's
Speaker 5: trained the left side of your week in eighteen?
Speaker 6: Was it on a similar player?
Speaker 13: Was that a swing?
Speaker 14: No, that was a swing. That was a swing in
Speaker 14: the cage. That was a swing in the cage. Yeah,
Speaker 14: a day game, so I remember that, And uh that
Speaker 14: was before the game. So this is nothing. We might
Speaker 14: real close to that.
Speaker 5: So this is probably less severe than that.
Speaker 14: Much less much much less severe. I'll be I should
Speaker 14: be back a little quicker than that.
Speaker 5: He won the MVP that year down.
Speaker 14: Yeah, so we'll see. Uh, we'll see I go this time.
Speaker 11: H Yeah.
Speaker 6: A little something to bring some levity to all this.
Speaker 6: But Muki did confirm that it wasn't on a check
Speaker 6: swing that he heard his oblique. It was when he
Speaker 6: was rounding second base, scoring on that Freddie Freeman first
Speaker 6: inning double in the middle game of that series. And
Speaker 6: he said he can run, he could throw, but really
Speaker 6: the only thing he can't do right now is swing
Speaker 6: a bat.
Speaker 5: So we'll see where this goes.
Speaker 6: But obliques can be tricky and you have to be
Speaker 6: patient with them, similar to hamstrings. If you try to
Speaker 6: come back too soon from these injuries, you can make
Speaker 6: it a lot worse.
Speaker 7: Ye hard to put a timetable on individual guys injuries.
Speaker 7: David Great Stuff'll check back you with you in just
Speaker 7: a couple of minutes. Coming up here on Wrongo Causino
Speaker 7: Dodgers on Deck, You're gonna hear from Miguel Rojas. We're

Speaker 8: Let me continue here on Dodgers on Deck. We all
Speaker 8: check back.
Speaker 7: You know Rick Monday and David Veasse for leading up
Speaker 7: to first pitch from Toronto Dodgers and Blue Jays, just
Speaker 7: like the World Series last October. I'm Tim kas Is
Speaker 7: the back to back World champion Dodgers audio.
Speaker 3: Know this is Marongo Casino Dodgers on tack on your
Speaker 3: home for the Blue all season long.
Speaker 7: Dodgers and Blue Jays from Toronto. Justin Robleski. Match sures
Speaker 7: are the pitching match up. Time out for the Verizon
Speaker 7: startup is we are thirty two minutes away from the
Speaker 7: start of the game. Now, Verizon, you can lock in
Speaker 7: your low prize for three years so you can save big.
Speaker 7: Visit the Verizon store today. Let's check back in with
Speaker 7: Rick Monday and Shirley Steiner.
Speaker 1: All right, Tim.
Speaker 13: One hundred and fifty seven days later, since the Dodgers
Speaker 13: won Game seven of the World Series, they're back at
Speaker 13: the Rogers Center the first of a three game series
Speaker 13: with the Toronto Blue Jains. Yesterday. Quite a day for
Speaker 13: the Dodgers. Down six to one, they come from behind,
Speaker 13: winning eight to six. There were difficulties with Trochi Sasaki.
Speaker 13: Is he Rokie or is he Rocky bow Well?
Speaker 9: I think the other jury is still out and it
Speaker 9: depends on what he's going to do. You know, Dave
Speaker 9: Roberts used they of the term before his first start
Speaker 9: that he wanted Sasaki go out and quote unquote attack
Speaker 9: the strength zone and attack the hitters. And to this
Speaker 9: point we have not really seen that on a consistent basis,
Speaker 9: and the breaking ball has not really been there. As
Speaker 9: far as he calls it the splitter, it's technically the
Speaker 9: fourth ball because it's so deep between the middle finger
Speaker 9: and the ring finger. But the Dodgers need some better
Speaker 9: results from him tonight. They give the ball to Justin Rubleski,
Speaker 9: who will at least start the game the lefty, and
Speaker 9: we get a guy that we've seen quite a bit
Speaker 9: of over the years, that being Max Schurzer, his nineteenth
Speaker 9: season at the major league level. He said last year
Speaker 9: he said, you know, I may be forty one years old,
Speaker 9: but I never thought that I could love the game
Speaker 9: of baseball as much as I am right now. He
Speaker 9: made that comment right after Game seven of the World
Speaker 9: Series last year.
Speaker 13: So, after Sasaki struggled yesterday, the bullpen for shutout relief
Speaker 13: dings Vezi, a Dryer, Tyner, Scott is coming back, and
Speaker 13: of course Edwin Diaz closed it down. So the bullpen
Speaker 13: has been very good through the first nine games, which
Speaker 13: was somewhat of a struggle of course last year.
Speaker 9: Yeah, it is, and I think for bullpen to be
Speaker 9: able to stand till earlier on because you know, let's
Speaker 9: face it, it's early in the season. Obviously, pitchers are
Speaker 9: not fully stretched out. We're seeing what five and six
Speaker 9: innings for the most part, So the bullpen is going
Speaker 9: to have their numbers called quite often. And they've done
Speaker 9: a very good job. Obviously. Of course they've had some
Speaker 9: run support. You know that that come from behind victory
Speaker 9: yesterday was already their fifth this season. They've done a
Speaker 9: very good job and that end of it. They've also
Speaker 9: done a very good job with runners in scoring position
Speaker 9: in the early goings as a team hitting a three
Speaker 9: forty three. And it looks like I made this comment yesterday,
Speaker 9: and I told Dave Roberts this on the plane last night.
Speaker 9: I said, Dave, your team's come to the ballpark not
Speaker 9: to play a game. Your team's come to the ballpark
Speaker 9: to win a game.
Speaker 13: And life begins now without Mookie for I guess the
Speaker 13: next four to six weeks with that old bleak, and
Speaker 13: so shortstop is going to be a very interesting proposition.
Speaker 13: Him is up. Of course, Rojas has been terrific, So
Speaker 13: the Dodgers, with their depth life without Bookie can in
Speaker 13: fact go on.
Speaker 9: Yeah, the other guy is You've got some horses in
Speaker 9: that lineup, and hays On kimpb will start at shortstop
Speaker 9: tonight and they need him to make better contact than
Speaker 9: what we saw in Arizona portion of spring training was
Speaker 9: rather inconsistent pulled off the ball, so he'll have a
Speaker 9: chance to kind of settle in. Is interesting too because
Speaker 9: this Bullpark Rogers Center as well know artificial surface. It
Speaker 9: does have a natural dirt part of the infield, but
Speaker 9: you get some pretty true hops at least while is
Speaker 9: on the artificials of both infield and outfield.
Speaker 13: Oh that fellow Otani, he's reached base in every one
Speaker 13: of the nine games so far this year, forty straight,
Speaker 13: going back to last season. By the way, the franchise
Speaker 13: record for consecutive games on base seventy, set back in
Speaker 13: eighteen ninety nine by a fellow named fielder Jones. He
Speaker 13: was playing for the Superb at the time. Duke Snider
Speaker 13: had that fifty eight game streak. And here's Otan and
Speaker 13: he is hitting the ball very hard in the last
Speaker 13: couple of days after a somewhat shaky start.
Speaker 9: Yeah, well he got up to a slow start, but
Speaker 9: once he gets it into gear, I mean, he's just
Speaker 9: a totally different beast, if you will. In this lineup,
Speaker 9: Dodgers need better production. If you look at the number
Speaker 9: three spot in the lineup collectively, while they've driven in
Speaker 9: nine runs, hitting just two hundred, the number four spot
Speaker 9: collectively hitting just two eleven. They've also whoever's been that
Speaker 9: four spot has knocked in nine. So while the averages
Speaker 9: are low, those two spots have been productive.
Speaker 13: And Tioscar Hernandez beginning to heat up nine for nineteen
Speaker 13: in his last five games.
Speaker 9: Yeah, it's a pretty good one two punch with the
Speaker 9: ti Oscar Who's going to bat in the number four
Speaker 9: spot tonight, and right behind him is Max Munsey. Behind
Speaker 9: him is Andy Pajis, who has the best batting average
Speaker 9: four seventy one. On top of it, and pahes Charlie
Speaker 9: is not only hitting the ball pulling it to the
Speaker 9: left field, he's flaring it right field in particularly with
Speaker 9: two strikes. He's had a much much better approach, maybe
Speaker 9: the best approach we've seen in a young career.
Speaker 13: Batting sixth in the lineup today Otani, Tucker Freeman, Tayl
Speaker 13: muncie Pi has free loaded second base rushing catching, and
Speaker 13: Kim is at shortstop.
Speaker 5: First pitch coming up in just a little bit.
Speaker 8: Tim, all right, thank you, Charlie. Great to hear your voice.

Speaker 6: together on road trips.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 12: I just feel like we had a little, a little
Speaker 12: thing going that is like a family reunion. Every time
Speaker 12: we get to go on the road. We like enjoying
Speaker 12: time together on the plane. Bus rides with us are
Speaker 12: really fun. Were always trying to keep it loose and

Speaker 12: training you're together for six months.
Speaker 1: For six weeks.
Speaker 12: I'm sorry, but you're not really doing much together. So
Speaker 12: I feel like this is our time to kind of

Speaker 12: it's being really nice to see uh Eding and and
Speaker 12: Talker and Santiago and the guys who just got to
Speaker 12: the team feeling comfortable and starting to feel like how
Speaker 12: it is to be a Dodger on and off the field.
Speaker 6: Speaking of bus rides, everybody's ask to you about every
Speaker 6: single thing of Game seven, but.
Speaker 5: One thing we've never heard.
Speaker 6: What was the bus ride like on the way to
Speaker 6: the stadium, And what was the bus ride like after
Speaker 6: you had the trophy?
Speaker 12: Yeah, on the way to the stadium when we landed.
Speaker 5: We were down three two, right, and we have to

Speaker 12: People were like really really lose, having a good time,
Speaker 12: knowing that we have the opportunity to come here and
Speaker 12: we're gonna play in front of a really, uh tough
Speaker 12: environment because these people right here in Canada, they know
Speaker 12: how to leave baseball and obviously that creates a lot
Speaker 12: of anxiety and you kind.

Speaker 12: and then everything changed just because we got together again.
Speaker 12: We connected and we knew it was gonna be hard,
Speaker 12: but we we we would lose. And we have to
Speaker 12: credit that to a lot of guys on our team,
Speaker 12: guys who've been here before in this situation, Freddie, Mookie

Speaker 3: This is Morongo Casino Dodgers. Hunting the game on your
Speaker 3: home for La Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 8: It's the Dodgers and the Blue Jays.
Speaker 7: First pitcher Rogers Centers coming up at four oh seven, and.
Speaker 3: Now before the Dodgers hit the dining we look at
Speaker 3: the pitching matchup.
Speaker 7: Brought to you. Buy it here Toyota Dealers. They make
Speaker 7: it easy. Max Shres are on the mound. Want to
Speaker 7: know one fifty forty one year old right hitter is
Speaker 7: nineteen season now in the big leagues with seven more strikeouts.
Speaker 8: Something to keep an eye on.
Speaker 7: Today he can become the eleventh player in MLB history
Speaker 7: to record thirty five hundred career strikeouts. Hopefully he doesn't
Speaker 7: achieve that today. First start of this season, he was
Speaker 7: really good. Six innings, one run, four hits, four strikeouts
Speaker 7: in a win over the Rockies, making his eighteenth career
Speaker 7: regular season start against the Dodgers, his twentieth appearance. He
Speaker 7: last faced the Dodgers in Games seven of the World
Speaker 7: Series last year. Four and a third innings, allowed one
Speaker 7: run on four hits with a couple of strikeouts and
Speaker 7: a walk. Justin Robleski goes for the Dodgers six to
Speaker 7: seventy five ERA, no wins, no loss. It's just one
Speaker 7: appearance already this year, and that came out of the
Speaker 7: bullpen against the Guardians. He gave up three earned runs
Speaker 7: on four hits over four innings in Bulkan relief of
Speaker 7: striking out two. This is his third season in the
Speaker 7: Big League's only twenty five years old, and he was
Speaker 7: really good this spring, so good that he became the
Speaker 7: piggyback with rookie Susaki, and now the Dodgers are going
Speaker 7: to a six man rotation. He has become that other
Speaker 7: starter with Blake Snell still injured. He pitched in four
Speaker 7: World Series games against the Blue Jays, really good, five
Speaker 7: scoreless combined inning with six strikeouts and gave up to
Speaker 7: four hits. So it's justin Robusky and Max schures Aer
Speaker 7: the pitching match up Dodgers in Blue Jays, a rematch
Speaker 7: of the World Series for fifteen minutes away from first pitch.
Speaker 8: Keys to the game are next.
Speaker 7: I'm Tim Kais is the back to back World champion
Speaker 7: Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 3: This is Marongo Casino Dodgers on Tap on your home
Speaker 3: for the Blue.
Speaker 7: All season Law Dodgers and Blue Jays rematch of the
Speaker 7: World Series. As we get you ready for the start
Speaker 7: of the game with a Saporo start. Yeah, great moments,
Speaker 7: start with Sapporo beer, whatever your taste. Pret friend Saporo
Speaker 7: has you covered with the variety of crispin refreshing loggers,
Speaker 7: including light and non alcoholic beer. Soaporo good with sushi,
Speaker 7: great with baseball. It's head back out to the book.
Speaker 7: Stephen Nelson, Rick Monday, guys, all right.
Speaker 2: TC, getting closer to first pitch here at Rogers Center
Speaker 2: in the World Series rematch between the Dodgers and the
Speaker 2: Blue Jays. It'll be just center Obleski making his first
Speaker 2: start of the season opposite old friend Max Scherzer. Inappropriate
Speaker 2: in a sense, Mole that Schuzer takes the ball because
Speaker 2: he started the last game between these two teams in
Speaker 2: Game seven. He certainly did his part four and a
Speaker 2: third really strong here in the seventh and final game
Speaker 2: of the World Series, and he will start the series
Speaker 2: opener here today.
Speaker 9: And he understands how to pitch. This is nineteen season
Speaker 9: of the big leagues. Here's one thing that'll be looking
Speaker 9: at with Surezer. Besides of his stuff, Well, he's got
Speaker 9: a good breaking bality changes speeds. But if you look
Speaker 9: at the first pitch, he throws strike sixty eight percent
Speaker 9: of the time. That's not a small sample size. That's
Speaker 9: over the last three years almost seventy percent first pitch strike.
Speaker 9: Why am I coming that? Well? If you look at
Speaker 9: Freddy Freeman his last three years, first pitch of it
Speaker 9: at bat hitting at four to twenty nine, fourth best
Speaker 9: in baseball. Another guy that puts the first pitch into
Speaker 9: play a lot with success. Show Hey o'tani and he's
Speaker 9: got the first lick as far as with shus are
Speaker 9: on the mount in the top of the first inning.
Speaker 2: The Dodgers have won three in a row. The Blue
Speaker 2: Jays have lost four in a row. But none of
Speaker 2: that matters as these two kickoff a World Series rematch
Speaker 2: one hundred and fifty seven days following their Game seven clash.
Speaker 2: Tim be back in a moment here with first pitch.
Speaker 8: All right, first pitch? Will we come back? Enjoy it?
Speaker 7: Rematch of the World Series. David Veassi has got you
Speaker 7: covered with all the postgame what it's done. This has
Speaker 7: been Morongo Casino. Dodgers on deck on the back to
