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 can.
Speaker 1: They printing money. The Dodgers just can't continue. It's not
Speaker 1: fair are making plans again.
Speaker 5: It's a singular focus on controlling what they can control.
Speaker 3: Now you're inside man with the La Dodgers.
Speaker 1: It's David Basset.
Speaker 6: We are live at Yankee Stadium.
Speaker 5: The Dodgers are back in the Bronx for the first
Speaker 5: time since Game five of the twenty twenty four World Series.
Speaker 5: The Dodgers embark on this nine game East Coast road trip,
Speaker 5: beginning tonight against the Yankees. Welcome inside Morongo Casino. Dodgers
Speaker 5: on deck. You're back to back World champion Dodgers in
Speaker 5: twenty twenty six have the best record in baseball sixty
Speaker 5: one one and thirty six, their first place in the
Speaker 5: NLS by an eleven and a half game lead over
Speaker 5: the Arizona Diamondbacks. Tonight, the Dodgers begin this three game
Speaker 5: series with Roki Sasaki.
Speaker 6: On the mound. First pitch coming up at four oh five.
Speaker 5: Over the next sixty minutes, as we get you set
Speaker 5: for first pitch on Morongo Casino Dodgers on deck, we'll
Speaker 5: hear from Dodgers pitching coach Mark Pryor about the plan
Speaker 5: for show Hal Tany the pitcher the second half of
Speaker 5: the season. Rick and Steven will get you the pitching matchup.
Speaker 5: I'll go one on one inside the office of the
Speaker 5: manager Dave Roberts, and also had a chance to catch
Speaker 5: up with Mookie Betts. So we have a lot to
Speaker 5: get to between now and four oh five. We have
Speaker 5: your Dodgers Magical moment. Shortly, we'll visit with Kirsten Watson
Speaker 5: from sports net LA. It's the only sports Net LA
Speaker 5: game of this three game series. Tomorrow Fox Sports will
Speaker 5: have the game and on Sunday it will be Sunday
Speaker 5: Night Baseball. But you know where you can always depend
Speaker 5: on Dodger Baseball, right here on your back to back
Speaker 5: world champion Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 6: We'll check in with.
Speaker 5: My guy, Steven Nelson and Rick Monday in a moment
Speaker 5: from our gaping four broadcast booth in the Bronx. But
Speaker 5: just to remind you what took place going into the break.
Speaker 5: The Dodgers seemed like they started the break after that
Speaker 5: Thursday day off, and they got swept for the first
Speaker 5: time this season by the Arizona Diamondbacks. Uncharacteristically, the Dodgers
Speaker 5: made nine errors in their last five games before the
Speaker 5: All Star Break. Their defense has been elite all season.
Speaker 5: They had only made twenty four airs going into the
Speaker 5: last five games of the first half. Really, the only
Speaker 5: highlight of that last Sunday at Dodgers Stadium was you
Speaker 5: know who show Heyo.
Speaker 7: Tani offtaned hitter waits he swings hits a drive tape
Speaker 7: center failed way back.
Speaker 2: It cause it has gone another one. The show starts
Speaker 2: right away on the first pitch, his thirty third career
Speaker 2: leadoff home run ninth this year. Won nothing Dodgers more
Speaker 2: instant offense from the Show.
Speaker 4: That Never ends.
Speaker 6: Remarkable that show.
Speaker 5: He Otani could homer and double Knowing that he was
Speaker 5: going to have his left knee drained earlier today, Dave
Speaker 5: Roberts said that O'tani did not have his knee drained.
Speaker 5: He just got a lubricant injection in that left knee
Speaker 5: and good news, O'tani is leading off tonight as the
Speaker 5: Dodgers DH and is expected to do that all three
Speaker 5: games here.
Speaker 6: In the Bronx.
Speaker 5: So we'll turn the page like the Dodgers are to
Speaker 5: the second half of the season as they begin play
Speaker 5: with this three game series against the Yankees. Roki Sasaki
Speaker 5: on the mound, first pitch at four five, with more,
Speaker 5: we turn it over to Rick Monday and Steven Nelson
Speaker 5: right here in our galloping Ford Broadcast booth in the Bronx.
Speaker 6: Guys, thank you DV.
Speaker 8: As you can tell from five feet behind us, it
Speaker 8: is a beautiful Friday evening that we have on tap.
Speaker 8: Though there is rain in the forecast on Saturday, but
Speaker 8: that's in the future. Rick Monday, the president, right now,
Speaker 8: the first thing?
Speaker 4: Can they tell from five feet behind you?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 8: No, Well DV can look because he's right here, he's
Speaker 8: right next to us in the booth.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know what I mean. They have to squimt
Speaker 4: it mo. How the heck are you? After that, all
Speaker 4: start doing very well and hopefully the doctors have been
Speaker 4: able to get a little bit of a respite and
Speaker 4: come out I think running full speed because of losing
Speaker 4: three straight coming into the end of the break, not
Speaker 4: what they wanted to do lost five of seven coming
Speaker 4: to the break. That's not what they wanted to do,
Speaker 4: and they open up into Big Apple. So yeah, it's
Speaker 4: it's one of those things. Yeah, little strains flying in
Speaker 4: last night because of all the smoke from the Canadian
Speaker 4: fires that they've got. Fortunately that's cleared up a great
Speaker 4: deal today. But as you're mentioning, the weather man has
Speaker 4: at least not been then that thoughtful as far as
Speaker 4: predictions for tomorrow. But that's tomorrow. Win a ball game tonight.
Speaker 8: The Dodgers, despite that brutal final week where they were
Speaker 8: just sloppy, it looked like a team that was ready
Speaker 8: for the All Star break and the way that they
Speaker 8: played baseball. Despite that doomo, there's still eleven and a
Speaker 8: half clear in the division, the best record of Major
Speaker 8: League Baseball. And here we are back in the Bronx
Speaker 8: for the first time since Game five of the twenty
Speaker 8: twenty four World Series. You, myself down McDonald were back
Speaker 8: in the same spots we were as we watched the
Speaker 8: Dodgers win the first of two championships in a row.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was a little it was a little well festival. Yeah,
Speaker 4: you might say that when we left, but we did
Speaker 4: not leave the stadium until about three o'clock in the
Speaker 4: morning to get to the get to the airport, and
Speaker 4: what a flight that was going back to la with
Speaker 4: the World championship. So that was then, this is now.
Speaker 4: The Yankees are very aware of it. I can make
Speaker 4: one prediction right now, Okay, as the pitchers will be
Speaker 4: Rookie Susaki going for the Dodgers, it's going to be
Speaker 4: Garrett Cole on the mound for the New York Yankees.
Speaker 4: I guarantee you that Garrett Cole will cover first base
Speaker 4: on anything that's in to his first baseman that they
Speaker 4: did not do in that disastrous fifth inning of the
Speaker 4: deciding game of the World Series in twenty four. Well,
Speaker 4: that is an excellent prediction.
Speaker 8: The Yankees' staff, in fact, just finished doing PFTs and
Speaker 8: I wonder if they told Garrett, Garret, we don't even
Speaker 8: care if you pick up the ball, just run for
Speaker 8: the mount.
Speaker 1: Of first base.
Speaker 4: Yeah. I imagine he's already been talked to. He's in
Speaker 4: the locker room. But this is a good matchup and
Speaker 4: no question about it. I mean, the Yankees have tried
Speaker 4: to make some Hey, they're three games out in the
Speaker 4: American League, Eastern Division for first place. Tampa's holding onto
Speaker 4: it very well to this particular point, Boston trying to
Speaker 4: play much better. They're ten games out, but Boss has
Speaker 4: won nine of their last ten games. And if you
Speaker 4: look at the Nation League West, yes, the Dodgers eleven
Speaker 4: and a half in front of Arizona, twelve and a
Speaker 4: half in front of San Diego. But we'll see how
Speaker 4: they're going to answer the bill post break, because it
Speaker 4: looked like they had an early break. They did not
Speaker 4: hit well, they did not field well, and quite frankly,
Speaker 4: they didn't pitch well either.
Speaker 8: Let's see if they have indeed flushed that away and
Speaker 8: are ready for the stretch run into the postseason.
Speaker 1: Dvs. We get it back to you.
Speaker 8: There are games in series that just feel bigger over
Speaker 8: the course of one sixty two. Dodgers and Yankees certainly
Speaker 8: qualifies as.
Speaker 5: That, no doubt, a lot of history between these two teams,
Speaker 5: and usually Rick Monday lights me at least seven feet
Speaker 5: from him.
Speaker 6: So five will have to do.
Speaker 5: Right now, Dodger fans, as we count down to first pitch, Dot,
Speaker 5: we get your game day meal at Shaky's Pizza Parterer Parlor.
Speaker 5: Order your Shaky's Pizza, Chicken and Mojo's now at Shakey's
Speaker 5: dot Com. When we continue live from Yankee Stadium, Morongo
Speaker 5: Casino Dodgers on deck, we will go high and tight
Speaker 5: with the manager, Dave Roberts.
Speaker 6: You'll hear from Mooki Betts. But next we'll get.
Speaker 5: You your Otani rewind. We'll rewind to the first half
Speaker 5: of the season. First pitch from the Bronx is coming
Speaker 5: up at four oh five, Rochi Sasaki against Garrett Cole.
Speaker 5: I'm David Vasse and this is the back to back
Speaker 5: World champion Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 3: This is Morongo Casino Dodgers game on your home for
Speaker 3: La Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 5: We are live at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx as
Speaker 5: the Dodgers and Yankees are getting said for a three
Speaker 5: game series with Garrett Cole facing the Dodgers at Yankee
Speaker 5: Stadium for the first time since Game five. Roki Sasaki
Speaker 5: will be on the mound for the Dodgers. First pitch
Speaker 5: is coming up at four oh five.
Speaker 1: This is the Otani rewide.
Speaker 7: Right out of the stretch from the belt delivers a
Speaker 7: two to one swining out of a hammer to a
Speaker 7: right field and deep.
Speaker 6: That's Paul going back and off the wall.
Speaker 7: And writes Otani around first and he was chugging in
Speaker 7: the second.
Speaker 6: We'll a lead off stand up double.
Speaker 5: Shoe a O'tani was the highlight of that final Sunday
Speaker 5: before the All Star Break. As you know, Otani did
Speaker 5: not go to Philadelphia for the Midsummer Classic. Instead, he
Speaker 5: nursed his left knee and he did not have the
Speaker 5: left knee drained, but he did have a lubricant injection
Speaker 5: in that left knee. According to Dave Roberts, and Otani
Speaker 5: is scheduled to start Wednesday in Philadelphia. Otani at the
Speaker 5: All Star Break doing Otawni things again. Two ninety three
Speaker 5: batting average, twenty two home runs, fifty eight runs driven
Speaker 5: in and in ops of nine to fifty three.

Speaker 5: way to get rid of.

Speaker 5: Donate now at Carsfourkids dot org. That's Cars with a K.
Speaker 5: All Right, Kirstan, We're back in the Big Apple Yankee
Speaker 5: Stadium for the first time. Since the Dodgers beat the
Speaker 5: Yankees in Game five of the twenty four World Series.
Speaker 5: What do you remember the most about the last time
Speaker 5: we were here?
Speaker 9: So many things I remember. It's funny.
Speaker 10: I feel like I remember the beginning of the game
Speaker 10: and playing from behind, and then I remember the insane
Speaker 10: moment when everything shifted, because we were actually sitting next
Speaker 10: to each other upstairs in the press box, and I
Speaker 10: just remember we were kind of like, all right, Okay,
Speaker 10: well it seems like we're going to force a game,
Speaker 10: We're going to go to a game six, that I'll
Speaker 10: be back in Los Angeles. We were kind of thinking
Speaker 10: ahead to that, and then all of a sudden, everything shifted.
Speaker 9: It was just like what.
Speaker 10: Garrett holes on the mound, and I don't remember the specifics,
Speaker 10: but no one was at first to cover the base,
Speaker 10: and or Garrett wasn't at first to cover the base.
Speaker 10: Luka gets on and then everything just kind of for
Speaker 10: the Yankees downfalled, but for the Dodgers picks back up,
Speaker 10: and the next thing I knew, the team was on
Speaker 10: the field celebrating, hoisting up the trophy and we were
Speaker 10: on a plane back to Los Angeles.
Speaker 9: So yeah, it's kind of crazy to think that that's
Speaker 9: the last time.
Speaker 5: We were here and that was your first World Championship
Speaker 5: champagne celebration.
Speaker 6: That was a fun one.
Speaker 9: That was a fun one.
Speaker 10: It was insane like it was one of those things
Speaker 10: where you couldn't have asked.
Speaker 9: For a better script in regard to it was the Dodgers,
Speaker 9: it was the Yankees. It was two iconic franchises, two iconic.
Speaker 10: Cities, and you know, there was a lot of thought
Speaker 10: of going into that series. It was going to be
Speaker 10: an intense one and for the Dodgers to.
Speaker 9: Win in five, it was, Yeah, it was. It was incredible.
Speaker 9: To do it again last year it was even better.
Speaker 6: And you'll be a dug outside for the game tonight.
Speaker 6: Have you ever done it here?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 10: So the last it would have been that two years
Speaker 10: ago because we had played the series here, but I
Speaker 10: remember all three games were national but because the Dodgers
Speaker 10: and Yankees hadn't played so long in New York City,
Speaker 10: we actually had a split broadcast with Apple TV for
Speaker 10: the Friday night so two years ago here, So that
Speaker 10: was my first time over here at Yankee Stadium, being
Speaker 10: on the field.
Speaker 9: It is pretty incredible for someone who went to school
Speaker 9: up here.
Speaker 5: All right, we'll be cool down here. The air condition
Speaker 5: should be flowing. So thank you for the time, and
Speaker 5: enjoy the next two days.
Speaker 9: All right, I can't wait. It'll be a fun one.
Speaker 5: There she is, Kirsten Watson. Still to come here. I'm
Speaker 5: Wrongo Casino Dodgers on deck. We'll get to the pitching matchup.
Speaker 5: You'll hear from Rick Monday and Charlie Steiner. Dave Roberts
Speaker 5: will be our high and tight guest as well as
Speaker 5: we take you to first pitch between the Dodgers and Yankees.
Speaker 5: I'm David Vasey, live at Yankee Stadium, and this is
Speaker 5: the back to back World Champion Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 1: This is Marongo Casino Dodgers on deck on your home
Speaker 1: for the blue all season.
Speaker 5: Law Morongo Casino Resortant SPA, a Grand Slam for good times.
Speaker 5: My good buddy, Rick Monday and the booth here live
Speaker 5: at Yankee Stadium. As we get set for first pitch
Speaker 5: between the Dodgers and Yankee.
Speaker 3: This is the LA Dodgers Injury Report.
Speaker 5: You're back to back World champion Dodgers Injury Report, presented
Speaker 5: by UCLA Health, the official medical partner of the Los
Speaker 5: Angeles Dodgers. Blake trying and joined us on Dodger Talk
Speaker 5: last night. He said he's feeling really good. He still
Speaker 5: has to make a rehab assignment or two. Dave Roberts said,
Speaker 5: Will Smith has shut down doing anything and it doesn't
Speaker 5: seem like he's going to be back anytime before the
Speaker 5: end of August. Key Hernandez and Blake Snell are in Tacoma.
Speaker 6: With Oklahoma City.
Speaker 5: Keyk is starting his rehab assignment and told us he
Speaker 5: will return when the Dodgers return from this nine game
Speaker 5: East Coast road trip, and Blake Snell will make his
Speaker 5: first rehab start tomorrow for Oklahoma City against Tacoma.
Speaker 6: All Right.
Speaker 5: We also had Mark Pryor on Dodger Talk last night,
Speaker 5: and I picked his brain on how the Dodgers plan
Speaker 5: on managing Otani's pitching schedule the second half of the season.
Speaker 11: You know, I'm pretty much the same way we've always
Speaker 11: managed to. You know, we we go kind of day
Speaker 11: by day or start to start, and obviously there's a
Speaker 11: week between those starts usually, and we're trying to listen
Speaker 11: to the show as much as possible, and I mean
Speaker 11: to be able to him to manage his workload between
Speaker 11: the hitting, you know, how much he's on the base
Speaker 11: pass you know, sometimes I think dictates that. You know,
Speaker 11: we all like it when it goes over the park early,
Speaker 11: over the fence, it's easier to kind of jog around
Speaker 11: the bases. But we just kind of go day by day,
Speaker 11: you know, and see where we're at. And so we'll
Speaker 11: just continue to kind of take that philosophy and then
Speaker 11: try to really understand where he's at. And if there's
Speaker 11: moments where it's not you know, perfect between the knee
Speaker 11: or whatever, he's just fatigued and tired from you know,
Speaker 11: playing the game.
Speaker 4: Then we have to adjust.
Speaker 11: And I think that you know, we've kind of calculated
Speaker 11: that into you know, how we built the staff and
Speaker 11: what we have to do. That's usually why we've kind
Speaker 11: of put them in certain days, you know, through the
Speaker 11: first half of the season on Wednesdays so hopefully capture
Speaker 11: those off days. So, I mean, there's all those things.
Speaker 11: We try to use those tools at our advantage, but
Speaker 11: at the end of the day, it's you know, really
Speaker 11: trying to get an understanding of where he's at day
Speaker 11: to day, and that's kind of how we've put it
Speaker 11: out these last year and a half as he's pitched,
Speaker 11: and I feel like that's probably just the way we're
Speaker 11: going to continue to go this second half, and then
Speaker 11: you know, things come up, we'll make decisions accordingly.
Speaker 5: Sounds like a really good game plan, obviously. And for
Speaker 5: those that think the Dodgers are taken off guard by
Speaker 5: any of this, they're not. They have a plan, and
Speaker 5: Mark Pryor just said right there, they built the staff
Speaker 5: for the variables that do come with the most unique
Speaker 5: player in all a Major League Baseball. To hear the
Speaker 5: full conversation with Dodgers pitching coach Mark Pryor, you can
Speaker 5: find it under Dodger Talk on the iHeartRadio app. And
Speaker 5: Otani will start Wednesday in Philadelphia because the Dodgers have
Speaker 5: a day off on Thursday.
Speaker 6: All right, When we.
Speaker 5: Continue live from Yankee Stadium in Morongo, Casino, Dodgers on Deck,
Speaker 5: you'll hear from Mookie Betts as we lead you up
Speaker 5: to first pitch between the Dodgers and Yankees from the.
Speaker 6: Bronx at four to oh five. I'm David Vasse.
Speaker 5: This is the back to back World Series champion Dodgers
Speaker 5: Audio Network.
Speaker 6: As we were saying this.
Speaker 3: Is Marongo Casino Dodgers on deck on the official home
Speaker 3: of La Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 5: We are live at Yankee Stadium as the Dodgers open
Speaker 5: up the post All Star Break part of their schedule.
Speaker 5: Here in the Bronx a three game series against the Yankees.
Speaker 5: Rokie Sasaki against Garrett Cole coming up at four oh five.
Speaker 5: Dodger Baseball brought to you by El Pato, born in
Speaker 5: La Made for your game day. El Pato brings authentic
Speaker 5: Mexican style tomato sauces, sauces and hot sauces. El Pato
Speaker 5: Gourmet in a can. All right, Mooki Betts back at
Speaker 5: Yankee Stadium for the first time since Game five of
Speaker 5: the World Series. A lot of memorable moments here at
Speaker 5: Yankee Stadium with Mooki and the Dodgers in twenty four
Speaker 5: Fans trying to grab his glove and take the ball out,
Speaker 5: Garrett Cole and Anthony Rizzo not covering first base, Mookie
Speaker 5: running hard, and that's when the fifth inning comeback all started.
Speaker 5: Mookie Betts, also over the All Star Break, announced that
Speaker 5: he is launching his own baseball.
Speaker 6: Glove apparel line.
Speaker 5: Had a chance to catch up with the Dodgers shortstop
Speaker 5: earlier today.
Speaker 12: Yeah, I've been using it all year. Just want to
Speaker 12: just create something for the players and for the kids especially.
Speaker 12: I know these this glove breaks in so well. I
Speaker 12: love the shape of it. It's easy for kids to
Speaker 12: break in. I know sometimes with some other gloves it's
Speaker 12: it's hard for those kids to break in. They take
Speaker 12: like months to break in, but this is you take
Speaker 12: maybe a week if you're a kid, and you'll be
Speaker 12: able to use it, and it's like you can really
Speaker 12: customize it and show who you are as a person
Speaker 12: on your glove.
Speaker 5: The cost of equipment for kids to play baseball is
Speaker 5: pretty high these days, is are you is there a
Speaker 5: plan to try to get it into the hands of
Speaker 5: kids that really can't afford baseball equipment.
Speaker 12: Yeah, we'll make sure, we we make sure, we'll make sure.
Speaker 8: We do that.
Speaker 12: I mean, obviously there's a business, right so, I mean
Speaker 12: we have to just figure out like your business model
Speaker 12: and and what not to kind of keep up because,
Speaker 12: like you said, it's so it's really just expensive to
Speaker 12: get into this business in general. So but definitely there's
Speaker 12: definitely things we're going to do to make sure that
Speaker 12: we get it to the to the kids that can't
Speaker 12: afford it, Just do our part.
Speaker 5: Speaking of your glove, your glove it was grabbed in
Speaker 5: the stands and right field. Do you what do you
Speaker 5: remember coming back here any of those memories from twenty
Speaker 5: four that in right field? You know, you beating out
Speaker 5: that ground ball that nobody covered first space? What do
Speaker 5: you remember about all that coming back here for the
Speaker 5: first time.
Speaker 12: I mean, I remember all of it.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 12: That was that was a crazy That was a crazy game,
Speaker 12: crazy situation. Honestly, when I came in, I wasn't thinking
Speaker 12: I forgot about all that. I wasn't I wasn't even
Speaker 12: thinking about any of that, you know, and just here
Speaker 12: focused on today. Yeah, it's I'm glad you reminded me
Speaker 12: of it. You didn't say anything. I definitely wouldn't have
Speaker 12: thought about it.
Speaker 1: It's gont mad if you've been on a baseball.
Speaker 12: Field, Yeah, because baseball is kind of hard to get
Speaker 12: mad at someone else, particularly, I mean, I guess you could.
Speaker 12: I'm not that kind of guy. So yeah, it's probably
Speaker 12: the mass I've ever been.
Speaker 5: Yeah, where is that glove that you used in the twenty.
Speaker 4: Four No idea, I have no idea.
Speaker 12: I don't even when I've done what I'm done with
Speaker 12: the gloves at the end of the year, you just
Speaker 12: give them away, Just give them to a kid or
Speaker 12: something that I see. And so I have no clue
Speaker 12: where they love this.
Speaker 4: Don't try to grab it off your hand.
Speaker 12: I try exactly, I try and give it. I give
Speaker 12: it to them and they take it nicely.
Speaker 5: Oh man, Mookie, are you serious. I'm the one that
Speaker 5: reminded you about all that. Man, that's Mookie, though not surprised.
Speaker 5: Dodger Baseball is brought to you by a Ford summer
Speaker 5: sales event. Don't wait hurrying now for the best offers
Speaker 5: of the year. Ford, the official vehicle of Major League Baseball.
Speaker 5: Blake Trinan, who played such a pivotal part in that
Speaker 5: Game five to help the Dodgers win the World Series,
Speaker 5: joined us on Dodger Talk and was very confident this
Speaker 5: Dodger team would not let down with an eleven and
Speaker 5: a half game lead at the All Star break.
Speaker 13: So when you talk about like winning, it's it's not
Speaker 13: taking anything off. Every bat matters, every pitch matters, every
Speaker 13: ball that you run out matters, every ground ball you
Speaker 13: feel throws with a purpose and that's what this team
Speaker 13: does extremely well without any laps.
Speaker 4: We're talking about like winning culture.
Speaker 13: It's just from top to bottom is there, like this
Speaker 13: desire to win above all else. And this team is
Speaker 13: bought in because they were tired of having the heartbreak
Speaker 13: of going home early.
Speaker 5: Hey, Blake, Tryna knows all about that. And that's the
Speaker 5: one thing people forget. The Dodgers are not just experienced,
Speaker 5: they know how to win. And it's proof by winning
Speaker 5: back to back World Series championships. So I don't see
Speaker 5: a letdown coming in the second half of the season.
Speaker 6: When we continue live.
Speaker 5: From Yankee Stadium, we'll get to your Dodgers magical moment,
Speaker 5: the Dodgers and Yankees first pitch coming up at four
Speaker 5: h five in the Bronx. I'm David Vasse and this

Speaker 5: five World Series, the eighty one World Series, but I'm
Speaker 5: lucky enough to bring you something that took place last May.
Speaker 6: Yeah, last May. That's the one they gave me.
Speaker 5: Today, the Dodgers erupted offensively, and Dalton Rushing did something
Speaker 5: he had ever done in his major league career before.
Speaker 15: Here's Dalton rushing first pitch, liftoff right field, way back. There,
Speaker 15: an exclamation point and a three run shot for dump Rushing.
Speaker 15: That's the first major league home run for the rookie backstop,
Speaker 15: and the Dodgers are now up eighteen to two.
Speaker 6: That would be the final score.
Speaker 5: The eighteen runs the Dodgers scored against the Yankees last
Speaker 5: May thirty first was the most a National League team
Speaker 5: had ever scored against the Yankees, regular season or postseason.

Speaker 5: I'm David Vasse and this is the back to back
Speaker 5: World Series Champion Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 3: This is Marongo Casino Dodgers on deech on your Home
Speaker 3: for the Blue All Season log.
Speaker 5: The fans are filing in at Yankee Stadium, getting set
Speaker 5: for first pitch at four oh five Pacific time.
Speaker 6: Garrett Cole out there warming up.
Speaker 5: Brokei Sasaki also warming up, so we should have a
Speaker 5: fun night here in the Bronx. It's time for the
Speaker 5: Verizon startup. We're now only thirty minutes away from the
Speaker 5: start of the game. Now at Verizon you can lock
Speaker 5: in your low price for three years so you can
Speaker 5: save big. Visit your So Cal Verizon store today. Rick
Speaker 5: Monday is here in the New York. Charlie Steiner back
Speaker 5: in La. Let's check in with Rick and the birthday boy.
Speaker 14: Our game ninety eight or two hundred and fifty one
Speaker 14: days until opening day of twenty twenty seven, thank you
Speaker 14: very much. First game of a nine game road trip.
Speaker 14: It's the Yankees and the Dodgers. Dodgers, of course, the
Speaker 14: best record in baseball is sixty one and thirty six,
Speaker 14: eleven and a half in front of Arizona, twelve and
Speaker 14: a half in front of San Diego. But they've lost
Speaker 14: three straight in four of seven, and they kind of
Speaker 14: limped to the finish line of the halfway point of
Speaker 14: the season. The Yankees at fifty four and forty two
Speaker 14: second place in the American League East. They're three games
Speaker 14: behind Tampa. Interesting note mo again, run differential. Sometimes it's interesting,
Speaker 14: sometimes not. The Dodgers lead the majors by one hundred
Speaker 14: and forty nine and run differential. The Yankees have the
Speaker 14: highest run differential in the American.
Speaker 4: League at ninety one.
Speaker 14: So here are the Dodgers thirty and seventeen on the
Speaker 14: road and the Yankees only twenty three and twenty at home.
Speaker 14: And the smoke has cleared.
Speaker 4: Yeah, the smoke is clear. For those that have not
Speaker 4: been paying attention to the Canadian fires and yesterday when
Speaker 4: the ball club arrived in the early evening. I mean
Speaker 4: it was difficult to see even two blocks down Madison
Speaker 4: Avenue for that matter. Well, the wind is kind of
Speaker 4: taken care of that. We actually see blue skies and
Speaker 4: enjoy them because the weatherman says there could be clouds
Speaker 4: and the thing that they call rain here tomorrow and
Speaker 4: hopefully it's not going to affect it. But the Dodgers
Speaker 4: have to go ahead and play much better, Charlie than
Speaker 4: what we saw them play the final three games of
Speaker 4: the official first half of the season, where they did
Speaker 4: not hit well, they didn't play well, and they didn't
Speaker 4: pitch well.
Speaker 1: And that's what happened.
Speaker 14: So the Dodgers have the best record in baseball. We
Speaker 14: established that and had a host of the year and
Speaker 14: they've done that despite Blake Snell making a grand total
Speaker 14: of one start so far. Glass now has not pitched
Speaker 14: since early May. Diaz hasn't recorded as say, since April.
Speaker 14: Mookie Betts hitting her career low two thirty five, Kyle
Speaker 14: Tucker two forty four, Will Smith remains on the injured list. Now,
Speaker 14: with that, the Dodgers by far still have the best
Speaker 14: record in baseball.
Speaker 4: Yeah, They're doing it because of the talent on this team.
Speaker 4: There's no if ens and buns about it.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 4: Tommy Edmund also just played twenty two games. He's in
Speaker 4: there tonight and being at second base. But this is
Speaker 4: a buk club who we start to look at it.
Speaker 4: The Dodgers, they know how to win, they put things together.
Speaker 4: They just kind of malfunction the final three games. So
Speaker 4: they're doing it without some of the big names that
Speaker 4: you would think, Hey, a very big support staff. That
Speaker 4: staff's getting better and better, closer and closer. In fact,
Speaker 4: Blake Snell is reportedly going to be making his first
Speaker 4: rehamp start tonight in Oklahoma City and Triple A, so
Speaker 4: we'll keep an eye on that progressing. Does he have
Speaker 4: one more start after that before joining the club? Wait
Speaker 4: and see.
Speaker 14: So the guys who have not played or not played well,
Speaker 14: it's allowed somebody like Dalton Rushing to emerge to fifty
Speaker 14: four to ten home runs, thirty rv Eyes Robleski is
Speaker 14: a genuine All Star and as you mentioned, Tommy Headbubs
Speaker 14: played only twenty two games, yet he's hitting three forty
Speaker 14: three and he's a very valuable edition.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he is because he can play multiple positions. You
Speaker 4: know another guy that's on the periphery of coming back,
Speaker 4: we don't know how soon. That's Kick Hernandez. Now when
Speaker 4: he gets ready again, you're going to be adding depth
Speaker 4: to this ball club. So yes, it's all well and
Speaker 4: good to say, hey, we've got some guys that are
Speaker 4: injured that's going to be coming back well in the interim.
Speaker 4: This ball club, as you mentioned, eleven and a half
Speaker 4: game lead at least right now in the nash League
Speaker 4: Western Division. I also want to take one moment and
Speaker 4: and put you on the on the seat a little
Speaker 4: bit too. You're not with the ball club here in
Speaker 4: New York with us, but I want to wish you
Speaker 4: a very happy birthday, my friend.
Speaker 1: Thank you.
Speaker 14: I wish I was there and I will see you
Speaker 14: when the Dodgers were turned back home. So tonight is
Speaker 14: going to be Sasaki three and five a five and
Speaker 14: a third er last five starts at the era of eight,
Speaker 14: Garrett Cole three and four four oh four er, first
Speaker 14: twelve to two thirds innings coming back from Tommy John
Speaker 14: scoreless last seven starts two and four and a five
Speaker 14: forty five ERA, and both pitchers are prone to the
Speaker 14: long ball lineups at first pitch coming up.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we'll get to that a little bit later in
Speaker 5: the show. Happy Birthday, Charlie Steiner. Dodger Baseball presented by

Speaker 5: pitch at four oh five. I'm David Basse and this

Speaker 3: Now what will likely be veasse fielding insults from a
Speaker 3: Dodger player.
Speaker 4: It's an engagement of endearment.
Speaker 1: This is high and tight.
Speaker 6: We're back.
Speaker 5: The Dodgers are back, and the manager's Meeting presented by
Speaker 5: Downy Hundai is back as well as the Dodgers get
Speaker 5: set for the three game series at Yankee Stadium. And
Speaker 5: I'm here with the man that has so many good
Speaker 5: memories being back at this new Yankee Stadium, and that's
Speaker 5: the one and only Dave Roberts.
Speaker 6: Dave, thanks a lot for the.
Speaker 16: Time, oh Dave Man. I feel refreshed, recharged, and we
Speaker 16: certainly do have a lot of great members here at
Speaker 16: this new Yankee Stadium.
Speaker 5: Some of your players told me not to get too nostalgic,
Speaker 5: but it's hard not to the last time we were here,
Speaker 5: I remember before Game five talking to you outside of
Speaker 5: the doors of the clubhouse, and who could forget your
Speaker 5: trust and Blake trining your trust in Walker Buehler. Do
Speaker 5: some of those memories start to flood back?
Speaker 16: They do? They do? And yeah, you just look back
Speaker 16: and kind of here and the stanks stakes certainly aren't
Speaker 16: as high, and kind of going back to what Blake
Speaker 16: Tryning did, what Walker Buehller did, the mindset of closing
Speaker 16: these guys out in Game five, the world series and
Speaker 16: how Game five started, so many great memories and it's
Speaker 16: hard not to be nostalgic.
Speaker 5: One of the images that go through my mind is
Speaker 5: when you're going out to the mound to get the
Speaker 5: temperature black trying and Freddie Freeman waving you off, and
Speaker 5: you just wanted to gauge where everybody was. What stood
Speaker 5: out to you about leaving trining in.
Speaker 16: Yeah, so I went out there and I just wanted
Speaker 16: to get his pulse, told him he had one more hitter,
Speaker 16: wanted to slow the game down, look into his eyes,
Speaker 16: put my hands on him, and then gets the hit
Speaker 16: her out. And then at that point in time, I
Speaker 16: was going to go get him. And then that's when
Speaker 16: Freddie was kind of like waving me off, shoeing me off.
Speaker 16: And I'm happy I listened to him, because you know,
Speaker 16: I said he was going to get one hitter. I
Speaker 16: didn't want to bait and switch Blake, but at that
Speaker 16: point in time, he didn't look at me because if
Speaker 16: he was going to look at me after he got
Speaker 16: that hitter, I was going to get him. But and
Speaker 16: I've talked to him and laugh with Blake after the fact,
Speaker 16: said I wasn't going to make eye contact with you
Speaker 16: once I got that guy out because I wanted the
Speaker 16: next guy and he ended up getting stanned.
Speaker 5: I've never asked you this before, but Daniel Hudson we
Speaker 5: all know now got hurt warming up in the bullpen
Speaker 5: that night in Game five. If he doesn't get hurt,
Speaker 5: does anything change.
Speaker 16: You know what? No, Because to be quite honest, I
Speaker 16: didn't even know he was hurt. And so it's funny
Speaker 16: is that as it played out, I stuck with Blake,
Speaker 16: didn't know Huddy was hurt. Walker was going to have
Speaker 16: that inning, and then my hope was that Huddy would
Speaker 16: be the guy if we didn't win it there, But
Speaker 16: if it would have prolonged the game, I don't know
Speaker 16: what we would have done.
Speaker 5: To be quite honest, Hey, you bet on your players
Speaker 5: like you talk about, and they delivered for you.
Speaker 6: That was a special time.
Speaker 16: No, they did, And I think you know, we all
Speaker 16: make mistakes and learn from things. And so the one
Speaker 16: thing that I do know is that you know, you've
Speaker 16: got to trust your players, bet on your players, certainly
Speaker 16: in those biggest spots.
Speaker 5: Manager Dave Roberts, three times World Series winning manager for
Speaker 5: the Dodgers, is our guest ahead a first pitch between
Speaker 5: the Dodgers and Yankees, presented by Downy Hunday.
Speaker 6: All right, let's.
Speaker 5: Starst forward to the here and now show heyl Tani's
Speaker 5: in your starting lineup. When do you anticipate him pitching again?
Speaker 16: Well, right now, he's slated for Wednesday. And so right
Speaker 16: now it's good that you know he can get here
Speaker 16: from the break, play catch, we can put eyes on him,
Speaker 16: see ice progressing. Expect him to be in the lineup
Speaker 16: all three games, and I should have a bullpen here
Speaker 16: over the weekend. And like I said, as we sit
Speaker 16: here right now, he's going to start on Wednesday.
Speaker 6: Hey, it works out this first Wednesday. You got a
Speaker 6: day off on Thursday.
Speaker 16: No, that's right, that's exactly right. So you know for show, Hey,
Speaker 16: you know potentially it's the Wednesday, then you get the
Speaker 16: off day, so he'll be in a good spot.
Speaker 5: You were such a great ambassador again for Major League Baseball,
Speaker 5: not just the Dodgers during the All Star break in Philadelphia.
Speaker 5: You've been through this a few times now, What was
Speaker 5: it like this experience?
Speaker 4: It was great.
Speaker 16: I think the game was probably forgettable in the sense
Speaker 16: that there wasn't a whole lot going on. I was
Speaker 16: happy with Robo him being able to go tou innings.
Speaker 16: As far as a Dodger fan, the home run derby
Speaker 16: was fantastic. But for me, as always, it was my
Speaker 16: fifth go at this with me and my staff. The
Speaker 16: conversations with the players was fantastic. Spending time with Don
Speaker 16: Mattingley was great. Ali Marmol was great, and so that's
Speaker 16: always kind of the best takeaway.
Speaker 5: Thanks a lot for sharing all those memories with us.
Speaker 5: Great job, as always being an ambassador for Major League
Speaker 5: Baseball at the All Star Game, and we.
Speaker 6: Look forward to doing this again next week. We'll be
Speaker 6: back in New York.
Speaker 16: Look forward to it. Dave, thank you very much.
Speaker 6: There he is the man.
Speaker 5: Dave Roberts has been our guest. And don't forget heading
Speaker 5: into summer without a medical emergency kid is a risk.
Speaker 5: Be ready with an urgent care kit. Say forty five
Speaker 5: dollars at checkout with code Blue at urgentcarekit dot Com
Speaker 5: slash Blue. When we continue from Yankee Stadium, we'll get
Speaker 5: you the pitching matchup.
Speaker 6: Dive a little bit deeper into that.
Speaker 5: I'm David Vasse and this is the back to back
Speaker 5: World Champion Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 3: This is Brongo Casino Dodgers Hunting Game on your home for.
Speaker 1: La Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 5: We are live at Yankee Stadium leading you up to
Speaker 5: first pitch between the Dodgers and Yankees. Always special when
Speaker 5: you have these two franchises playing each other, whether it's
Speaker 5: in the Fall Classic or a game right out of
Speaker 5: the All Star Break, it's special. And it's time now
Speaker 5: for your pitching matchup. Brought to you by your Toyota Dealers.
Speaker 6: We make it easy.
Speaker 5: Remember when Garrett Cole signed with the Yankees, the Dodgers
Speaker 5: were in pursuit of Cole.
Speaker 6: He opted to go with the Pinstripes.
Speaker 5: And can you believe now, thirty five year old Garrett
Speaker 5: Cole is in his thirteenth season out of UCLA. That's
Speaker 5: hard to believe. He missed all of last year and
Speaker 5: the first six weeks of this season coming back from
Speaker 5: Tommy John surgery. His record this year is three and
Speaker 5: four with an ERA of four to zero four. It
Speaker 5: was five hundred and sixty nine days in between starts
Speaker 5: for Garrett Cole. We're happy to see him back in healthy.
Speaker 5: He's making his tenth start of the year. The last
Speaker 5: time he pitched, he went six and a third, allowed
Speaker 5: three runs, had six strikeouts for the Dodgers. Roki Sasaki
Speaker 5: making his seventeenth start of the season. He's three and
Speaker 5: five with an ERA of five thirty three. His last
Speaker 5: start before the All Star break, he did go six innings,
Speaker 5: retiring the last nine that he faced. But you never know, honestly,
Speaker 5: which Rokie you're going to get, so we'll all find
Speaker 5: out together. Dodgers and Yankees were fifteen minutes away from
Speaker 5: first pitch in the Bronx Keys to the game are next.
Speaker 6: I'm David Vasse and this is the back to.

Speaker 3: This is Casino Dodgers on tap, who on your home
Speaker 3: for the Blue All season Low.
Speaker 5: We are getting closer to first pitch between the Dodgers
Speaker 5: and Yankees. Roki Sasaki against Garrett Cole. Getting ready for
Speaker 5: the start of the game with the Soporo start great moments.
Speaker 5: Start with Soporo Beer. Whatever your taste preference. Soporo has
Speaker 5: you covered with a variety of crisp and refreshing loggers,
Speaker 5: including light and non alcoholic beers. Soporo good with sushi,
Speaker 5: great with baseball. Before first pitch, let's check in once
Speaker 5: more with Rick Monday and Steven Nelson.
Speaker 6: Guys, thank you so much.
Speaker 14: David.
Speaker 8: Back here with Rick Monday. We're getting ready for the
Speaker 8: first pitch in this first game against the Dodgers and
Speaker 8: the Yankees, a rematch of the twenty twenty four Fall Classic,
Speaker 8: and nearly six hundred and twenty six days, I believe
Speaker 8: was the count that I had in between appearances here
Speaker 8: in the Bronx. Moll give me a key or a
Speaker 8: player to watch.
Speaker 4: So I love it when you get technical. First of all,
Speaker 4: with rookie Sasaki. You know, the last seven starts he's
Speaker 4: zero and two ERA close to six. But if we
Speaker 4: look at the two starts he's hand in the month
Speaker 4: of July so far, he's worked a total of just
Speaker 4: nine innings. He's given up nine runs. That's an ERA
Speaker 4: of right at nine, and he's thrown one hundred and
Speaker 4: sixty six pitches in those nine innings and he's given
Speaker 4: up five home runs. He needs to attack that strength
Speaker 4: zone much much better.
Speaker 8: Keep the ball in the ballpark. These two teams went
Speaker 8: into the break in very different fashions. The Dodgers got
Speaker 8: there sloppily and were swept at home by the d
Speaker 8: Backs before the Alster break. The Yankees meanwhile completed a
Speaker 8: sweep of the Nationals, had comeback victories in all three
Speaker 8: of those games, and they've won four in a row
Speaker 8: entering this one. They are, though, without the biggest slugger
Speaker 8: in the game. That's Aaron Judge, who's still down to
Speaker 8: the injury.
Speaker 4: Yeah, the judges out. Stanton is still out, They've got
Speaker 4: Max Breed, their pitchers still out at the Nags. Well,
Speaker 4: they have their own issues with people on the injured list.
Speaker 4: Good news is Blake Snell has teen tonight in Oklahoma
Speaker 4: City as part of his rehand. He keeps getting closer
Speaker 4: and closer. The other guys. Well, we don't know how
Speaker 4: close some of the other guys are coming back.
Speaker 8: We do know that we're close to the first pitch
Speaker 8: Garrett Cole against Rokie Sesaki. What an opportunity in front
Speaker 8: of the young Sasaki tonight here in the Bronx as
Speaker 8: we get ready to boogie down the Dodgers.
Speaker 5: And Yankees still five feet behind you. Dodgers and Yankees,
Speaker 5: first pitch is next. After the game is over, we'll
Speaker 5: have the highlights and postgame Dodger Talk. Enjoy the rematch
Speaker 5: of the twenty four World Series. I'm David Basse and
