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 because they
Speaker 3: can they print money.
Speaker 1: The Dodgers just can't continue.
Speaker 4: It's not fair.
Speaker 1: Are making plans.
Speaker 5: 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 1: tam Cats.

Speaker 6: for the sweep of New York with show Hey Otani
Speaker 6: on the mound. First pitch from uniclove Field that Dodger
Speaker 6: Stadium is coming up at seven to ten Between then
Speaker 6: and out. They got a lot to get to here
Speaker 6: on Marongo Casino Dodgers on Deck, including hearing from the
Speaker 6: manager himself, Dave Roberts as show Heyo Tani is not
Speaker 6: a two way player tonight, Yes, show Heyo Tani is pitching.
Speaker 6: He is the Dodgers starter. He'll be on the mound
Speaker 6: comes seven to ten. But Dalton Rushing is the Dodgers
Speaker 6: designated hitter.
Speaker 4: More on that.
Speaker 6: Throughout the pregame show, we'll dive deeper into this pitching matchup.
Speaker 6: We'll hear from Charlie Steiner. Shortly, we'll also hear from
Speaker 6: Alex Vesia. We'll check in with Steven Nelson, Rick Monday
Speaker 6: and the crew out the gallpin Ford Broadcast Booth coming
Speaker 6: up in just a little bit.
Speaker 4: Well, last night, the.
Speaker 6: Ravine and Old School pitchers duel between Yoshinobu Yamamoto and
Speaker 6: Nolan McClain. Yamamoto pitched a season high seven and two
Speaker 6: third innings line one run, one walk, four hits, and
Speaker 6: a season high seven strikeouts.
Speaker 4: The Mets. McClain was equally as good.
Speaker 6: McClain struck out eight over seven innings, giving up two hits,
Speaker 6: one run, just two walks.
Speaker 4: Both starters were great.
Speaker 6: Both starters gave up a run of the first inning
Speaker 6: before locking in in the top of the first. Francisco
Speaker 6: Lindor started things off with his solo home run as
Speaker 6: the Mets grabbed an early one to ninhing lead. But
Speaker 6: in the bottom of the first, Kyle Tucker drew a
Speaker 6: one out walk, Will Smith doubled and Freddie Freeman grounded
Speaker 6: out to the first butt.
Speaker 4: Tucker was able to score on the play that tied
Speaker 4: the game at one.
Speaker 6: After that first inning, again, Yamamoto McClain were dealing nearly unhittable.
Speaker 6: Both put up zeros in the second, third, fourth, fifth,
Speaker 6: sixth through seven innings. Finally, in the eighth, McClain out
Speaker 6: of the game. The Dodgers offense got to work. Miguel
Speaker 6: Rojas the lead off walk two batters later, showing Otani
Speaker 6: intentionally walked that brought up Kyle Tucker.
Speaker 7: Dodgers won Mets one.
Speaker 2: Bottom of the eighth, first and second, one out, Kyle Tucker.
Speaker 7: At the plate. The pitch Tucker jam clear.
Speaker 3: Into left field, hit books out for ahead. Here's Rojas,
Speaker 3: he scores and Kyle Tucker.
Speaker 4: Hun ties it.
Speaker 8: Inside out swing looked like he got Jamndavid so Rayley
Speaker 8: missed on the Oak two with a big sweeping curve
Speaker 8: ball outside. He tried to come back inside and it
Speaker 8: cost him dearly.
Speaker 6: Kyle Tucker with the pitching wedge, just lobs it over
Speaker 6: third base into shallow left field, scoring the runner Rojas.
Speaker 6: That's the top show player the game, right to my
Speaker 6: Arco quality, top tier gas for less than Dodgers.
Speaker 4: A two to one lead the ninth belonged to Alex Vessia.
Speaker 4: He was fired up.
Speaker 6: He came in, struck out the first two batters he faced,
Speaker 6: then made quick work of Francisco Alvarez.
Speaker 2: Alex Vessia one more strike, that's all that's needed. The
Speaker 2: pitch checks, hanging a breaking ball down and then.
Speaker 3: He went around and top so in for La. Alex
Speaker 3: Fesia strikes out the side and records his second save
Speaker 3: in as many outings. The Dodgers thanks to Kyle Tucker's
Speaker 3: RBI single in the eighth, and Bessie is working the ninth.
Speaker 3: Take game two by a final of two to one.
Speaker 6: Ballgame Meet the Mets step right up and beat the
Speaker 6: Mets two to one. The final Dodgers with the win
Speaker 6: now thirteen and four on the season. They hand the
Speaker 6: Mets their seventh straight loss. Tonight they look to finish
Speaker 6: off New York Show. Hey Otani on the map, first
Speaker 6: pitch at seven to ten, and with more we head
Speaker 6: out to the galloping four to broadcast booth as we
Speaker 6: welcome in Stephen Nelson and Rick Monday.
Speaker 4: Guys.
Speaker 2: All right, Tim Kates, it is a gorgeous Wednesday here
Speaker 2: at Uniclow Field at Dodgers Stadium, where the Dodgers and
Speaker 2: Mets are preparing for a series finale and mode. The
Speaker 2: Dodgers are preparing to sweep the Mets out of LA
Speaker 2: and head into the off day, the travel day before
Speaker 2: a seven game road trip. They're about to play thirteen
Speaker 2: games thirteen days. And so the news of today is
Speaker 2: at show, Hey old Tani starting on the mound, but
Speaker 2: not in the lineup, as.
Speaker 7: It does not in the lineup.
Speaker 9: And you know, there's been some talk you bandied about
Speaker 9: really last year and so far early going in this
Speaker 9: year as well.
Speaker 7: I think I'm pounded too.
Speaker 9: And Dave Roberts talking to members the medium, compounded by
Speaker 9: the fact that he took a fast ball.
Speaker 7: Off the back of his right shoulder.
Speaker 9: A couple of nights ago, there might still be some
Speaker 9: residual soreness right in that area. The other part, too,
Speaker 9: is that the talk was going to continue when Otani
Speaker 9: is pitching in particular at home and he's in the
Speaker 9: lineup as a DH, are they going to maybe move
Speaker 9: him down that lineup so he can get at least
Speaker 9: a breather coming off the mound and then getting prepared
Speaker 9: to put the helmet on, get the bat, get everything
Speaker 9: else ready to go and hit itself and it doesn't
Speaker 9: have to worry about that. Tonight the lineup changes a
Speaker 9: little bit as there's old Kyle Tucker in the elite
Speaker 9: off spot. Then Freddie Freeman founded by Will Smith, and
Speaker 9: Hashung Kim gets the start at shortstop de Secon.
Speaker 2: You know, when the lineup was initially sent out, I knew,
Speaker 2: you knew that there was going to be some heads
Speaker 2: tilting and some questions for Dave robertson that was the
Speaker 2: first several minutes of his press commerce were about that.
Speaker 2: You expected that, But internally I'm thinking it's a number
Speaker 2: of combinations. One, it's April fifteen, two he got hit
Speaker 2: by a pitch on Monday. Dave Roberts said, if it
Speaker 2: was not for the hit by a pitch on his
Speaker 2: right scapula, then he would be in there as a
Speaker 2: DH Today, you have already clinched this series again, You're
Speaker 2: about to play thirteen consecutive games, including the first four
Speaker 2: on the road in Colorado, and everybody knows what that
Speaker 2: does to a player's body. So that, combined with Dalton
Speaker 2: Rushing's form to start the year, it just makes sense
Speaker 2: to not try and push the pedal to the Metta.
Speaker 9: And I think if you're looking at the long picture
Speaker 9: of it, is it giving him a rest where I'm
Speaker 9: marveling the fact that shoe Hee Otani is able to
Speaker 9: do two roles for the same time. I know what
Speaker 9: it took from a hitting standpoint and the defensive standpoint
Speaker 9: on a daily basis. At this level, it is amazing.
Speaker 9: The amount of injury energy that it tasted is down
Speaker 9: in order to also do the pitching aspects of it
Speaker 9: while you're working around all that other stuff. I'm flabbergast
Speaker 9: that you can do it, and do it to the
Speaker 9: level that he has done it.
Speaker 2: It's just a marvel Look, he's gone six innings in
Speaker 2: each of his first two starts. That Dave Roberts was
Speaker 2: a little hesitant to say if he would officially have
Speaker 2: a shorter leash tonight given some of the soreness and
Speaker 2: fatigue that he's experienced over the last week and then
Speaker 2: getting hit by a pitch on Monday. So we'll find
Speaker 2: out how deep he can go to the game with
Speaker 2: the Dodgers bullpen is certainly well rested heading into this
Speaker 2: series finale. Tim, we'll be back a little bit later
Speaker 2: with a key from Mo.

Speaker 4: I mean, basketball come in.
Speaker 11: I felt like I had it in the bullpen. I
Speaker 11: actually I barely threw any change up for so sliders,
Speaker 11: who was just more just getting the basketball dialed in
Speaker 11: trusting Well, I love that guy, and yeah, we just
Speaker 11: all I wanted to do was just put the pressure
Speaker 11: on the hitters.
Speaker 7: And tonight what's.
Speaker 10: Going tonight was truly a picture's tool. When you look
Speaker 10: at Yoshinobu did blake China yourself? What is it like

Speaker 10: is going out executing on alf facets.
Speaker 11: Yeah, Yam, Yam's one of the greatest pitchers ever. We're

Speaker 10: the season, and thank you as all, thank you, thank.
Speaker 4: You all Right, there's Alex Vessio.

Speaker 6: Mets with show Hey Otani on the mount again, Show

Speaker 6: this pitching matchup, David vad saying goes one on one
Speaker 6: with a great man from a great spot, and up
Speaker 6: next we get you an injury report as well. Here
Speaker 6: from the manager himself, Dave Roberts. That's all coming up.
Speaker 6: Dodgers and Mets on this Jackie Robinson Day. I'm Tim Kates.
Speaker 6: This is the back to back World Series champion Dodgers.
Speaker 1: Audio Delas, this is Marongo Casino Dodgers on Deck. On
Speaker 1: your hole for the blue all season long.
Speaker 6: Marago Casino Dodgers on Deck continues as we lead up
Speaker 6: to first pitch. Had the New York Mets on this
Speaker 6: Jackie Robinson Day, Marongo Casino Resort and Spa a grand
Speaker 6: slam for a good time show. Hey O Tani on
Speaker 6: the mound.
Speaker 4: First pitch at seven ten.
Speaker 1: It's the LA Dodgers Injury.
Speaker 6: Report presented by UCLA Healthy, official medical partner of the
Speaker 6: Los Angeles Dodgers.
Speaker 4: Been Consparraus on the iel with the right shoulder inflammation.
Speaker 6: Mookie Betts, who you heard from last night, with David
Speaker 6: Vasse on the IL with the right obleaque strain, Tommy
Speaker 6: Evan recovering from off season ankle surgery, Blake Snell throwing again.
Speaker 6: More on that with David Vasse coming up. Brock Stewart
Speaker 6: on a minor league rehab assignment last night in Ontario.
Speaker 6: He with the tower buzzers and looks like he's going
Speaker 6: to spend the next three weeks rapping up to join
Speaker 6: this Dodgers' bullpen, so that is certainly good news. Kevin Stone,
Speaker 6: Landing Neck, Evan Phillips, Bruce Dargrauder, all all different spots
Speaker 6: working their way back from arm injuries.
Speaker 4: Let's head back out to the stadium and check you
Speaker 4: out with the Dodgers kipper.
Speaker 7: Anything do you questions for Dave? Dave? Can you just
Speaker 7: describe Dave? Can you talk about the pressure in.
Speaker 1: The dugouts with Dave Rob.
Speaker 2: We're just what went into the county, not the Asian today.
Speaker 12: Just uh feeling that you know what gives him the
Speaker 12: best chance to uh stay loose U during the outing,
Speaker 12: you know, feel good and uh you know, he got
Speaker 12: hit on the scapula of the back of the shoulder
Speaker 12: a couple of days ago, so there's still some sortus
Speaker 12: in there. So you know, when he's hitting, there's a
Speaker 12: component that he's in the cage getting ready to hit,
Speaker 12: and you know, if we can take that off his
Speaker 12: plate and just focus on one thing tonight, we felt
Speaker 12: training staff, pitching coaches and myself, we just felt it
Speaker 12: was the best thing for him. So once I told
Speaker 12: him he completely understood.
Speaker 2: He's obviously still been throwing the last couple of days.
Speaker 2: Has he had issues like getting loose again.
Speaker 13: He hit after it's throwing in the afternoons, and that
Speaker 13: the best real.
Speaker 10: Prompt with this.
Speaker 12: He feels much better today than he did today days ago,
Speaker 12: and he feels better today than he did yesterday. There
Speaker 12: was some of that early, which is natural, but going
Speaker 12: into tonight he feels good.
Speaker 10: Last week he talked about being a little like fatigued
Speaker 10: after a start, and some of those mechanics were also off.
Speaker 4: Is that something you considered.
Speaker 12: As well, you know, uh, not really in the sense
Speaker 12: because if it weren't for the hit by pitch, he
Speaker 12: would have been dhing and pitching tonight. But I do
Speaker 12: think that just to be able to pitch and focus
Speaker 12: on that, I think will be of benefit for the
Speaker 12: mind and the body and hopefully, you know, we're just
Speaker 12: in a little moment of fatigue and we can get
Speaker 12: past it, which I think that, you know, talking to
Speaker 12: Thomas today, Showy came in feeling good, but we're going
Speaker 12: to keep a watchful eye on him.
Speaker 4: Though Tomorrow also had made that.
Speaker 12: Decision that was more the decision of pitching them having
Speaker 12: that lined up. But again, if he wouldn't have got hit,
Speaker 12: he would have DH today. So I just think in
Speaker 12: this one game it just makes most sense of given
Speaker 12: the best chance to kind of manage the shoulder.
Speaker 7: In the back.
Speaker 6: All Right, there's the manager, Dave Roberts explaining why Showey
Speaker 6: Otani is not a two way player tonight. He is
Speaker 6: just the starting pitcher instead, don't rushing serving.
Speaker 4: As the DH for the Dodgers.
Speaker 6: When we continue here on Wrongo Casino Dodgers on Deck,
Speaker 6: we check in with David Vaz moron Otani, an update
Speaker 6: on Edwin Diaz, and a special day out at the Ravine.
Speaker 6: That's all coming up as we lead up to Dodgers
Speaker 6: and Mets on this Jackie Robinson Day. First pitch from
Speaker 6: Uniclo Field that Dodgers dadiums at seven ten. I'm Tim Kass,
Speaker 6: the back to back World Series champion Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 1: As we were saying, this is Marongo Casino Dodgers on
Speaker 1: Deck on the official home of La Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 6: It's the Dodgers and the New York Mets. Showy Otani
Speaker 6: Clay Holmes a pitching matchup Dodgers Baseball. Brought to you
Speaker 6: by Elpoto, born in la and made for your game day.
Speaker 6: El Poto brings authentic Mexican style tomato, sauce, sauces and
Speaker 6: hot sauces right to your table.
Speaker 4: El Potto Gourmet and a.
Speaker 1: Can joining Tim kats on Dodgers on Deck.
Speaker 5: I accept everybody for who they are.
Speaker 1: This is Dodger insider David all Right, DV.
Speaker 6: This is a pretty big deal, right, the fact that
Speaker 6: showe Hey Otani's healthy, not recovering from Tommy John surgery,
Speaker 6: and he's not a two way player in a game tonight.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's significant. It's something that hasn't happened since May
Speaker 5: of twenty twenty one, with Otani on the mound and
Speaker 5: not in the starting lineup as the DH. So it
Speaker 5: is significant. But Dave Roberts, as you heard, gave the reason.
Speaker 5: What factored into it is the fact that he got
Speaker 5: hit high on the shoulder, his right pitching shoulder in
Speaker 5: the first game of the series. David Peterson, the left
Speaker 5: handed starter for the Mets, had had some problems with
Speaker 5: command and hit Otani high up on the right shoulder,
Speaker 5: so that factored into it. One thing to take into
Speaker 5: account about tonight. I know, Dave joke to let Carlos
Speaker 5: Mendoza know that Otani's still available to come off the bench. Well,
Speaker 5: that's not possible because the Otani rule is out of
Speaker 5: play when Otani is just pitching and not in the
Speaker 5: starting lineup. That was put in place for Otani when
Speaker 5: he was in the starting lineup and he stopped pitching
Speaker 5: coming out of the game. Well, he's not in the
Speaker 5: starting lineup, so he'll be treated as any other starting pitcher.
Speaker 5: Once he's out of the game, he's out of the game.
Speaker 5: He can't come off the bench to pinch hit.
Speaker 4: Interesting gainst great information, Dave.
Speaker 6: Brought to you by the Ford Maverick Motor trends at
Speaker 6: North American Truck of the Year. The Ford Maverick everything
Speaker 6: you need in the most innovative truck with forty two
Speaker 6: miles per down of the best MSRP. If it's category,
Speaker 6: it's time to see Ford in a new light. Go
Speaker 6: to your Southern California. Have four dealers today? All right, David,
Speaker 6: what's the update on Edwin Diaz.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Dave Roberts has said that Edwin Diaz has been
Speaker 5: available the last couple of days and that's not true.
Speaker 5: It's just a competitive gamesmanship not allowing the Mets to
Speaker 5: know whether or not Daz was available to come out
Speaker 5: of the bullpen. But yesterday Edwin Diaz threw a bullpen
Speaker 5: session because the trainers wanted to see how he looked
Speaker 5: and if everything was in one piece, and he passed
Speaker 5: the test. But when you throw a bullpen session as
Speaker 5: a reliever, you're not coming into the.
Speaker 4: Game that same night.
Speaker 5: So Diaz did not throw a bullpen session today, and
Speaker 5: by all accounts, he should be available if there is
Speaker 5: a safe situation.
Speaker 4: David.
Speaker 6: Jackie Robinson Day always a special day when the Dodgers
Speaker 6: at home. I know Dave Roberts has done something annually
Speaker 6: that's pretty special.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he actually, and the Dodgers have done something ever
Speaker 5: since they moved the Jackie Robinson statue from the upper
Speaker 5: reserve level to that beautiful center field plaza area. Ever
Speaker 5: since then, they've had whoever the Dodgers are playing on
Speaker 5: Jackie Robinson Day go out there with the Dodgers wearing
Speaker 5: their full uniforms, everybody wearing forty two tonight, and they
Speaker 5: usually get a guest speaker to go out there. Anybody
Speaker 5: from Magic Johnson to Kareem Abdul Jabbard or Reggie Smith.
Speaker 5: And today it was Bob Kendrick, who's going to join
Speaker 5: us later in the show, the president of the Negro
Speaker 5: League Baseball Museum. He flew out from Kansas City where
Speaker 5: that museum's at and really gave a powerful history lesson
Speaker 5: to the players. And it's always a special day Jackie
Speaker 5: Robinson Day.
Speaker 4: But there seems to be a.
Speaker 5: Little added more when the Dodgers are at home and
Speaker 5: you have that statue out there and they use it
Speaker 5: in a way that is a powerful to remind everybody
Speaker 5: just his impact on this franchise and on the country.
Speaker 5: So it's always special here at Dodgers Stadium, and even
Speaker 5: more special because the Mets are here. The Mets were
Speaker 5: the team that was expanded after the Dodgers and Giants
Speaker 5: left New York. The Mets their colors are a combination
Speaker 5: of Dodger blue and Giants orange. That's how that all
Speaker 5: came together, all.

Speaker 15: so lucky, seven to eleven. They've lost seventh straight. They've
Speaker 15: scored once in the last three games, during which time
Speaker 15: they have been outscored thirty six to ten. Last night,
Speaker 15: mall a terrific pitchers tool. We got to see McClean
Speaker 15: up closed for the first time and he was terrific.
Speaker 15: And Yamamoto was once again Yamamoto.
Speaker 9: Yeah, he got everybody's attention. And when you look at
Speaker 9: the third pitch in the ball game was a hit
Speaker 9: for home run Francisco lintur So. The Mets had the
Speaker 9: early lead and that was about it. But I thought
Speaker 9: that last night's ballgame was really a great display on pitching.
Speaker 9: I know there were some people I mentioned during the broadcast.
Speaker 9: They said, there's some people say, geez, the neither team's
Speaker 9: hitting today. Well there was a reason for it. The
Speaker 9: pitching was absolutely stellar in last night's contest and.
Speaker 15: Tonight show, hey Otani comes into the game with his
Speaker 15: forty eight game consecutive on bass streak, got the intentional
Speaker 15: walk in his final lite bat last night, so he
Speaker 15: comes in with that record on the line, and he
Speaker 15: also brings in an er of nothing zero zip zip zip.
Speaker 9: Against Clayholm, and we're going to see a different version
Speaker 9: of show Hey o'tani because as he is the starting pitcher,
Speaker 9: it's the first time that we've seen now this year
Speaker 9: that he is not in the starting lineup. Dave Roberts
Speaker 9: will turn things around as far as the batting, so
Speaker 9: it's going to be Kyle Tucker that starts it off
Speaker 9: in right field, and Freddy Freeman has moved up to
Speaker 9: the number two spot today, Charles, that's a little bit
Speaker 9: of a difference on that. Then Will Smith, the Oscar
Speaker 9: hernandez I saw Kim will be at shortstop, and Dalton
Speaker 9: Rushing will be in the lineup as the designated hit
Speaker 9: or not as the catcher, but as the DH tonight.
Speaker 15: And the Mets have tried to avoid an eight game
Speaker 15: losing street. Meanwhile, of course, the big story it is
Speaker 15: Jackie Robinson day. And I was kind of reading some
Speaker 15: stuff and one of the things that struck me, and
Speaker 15: we've seen Rachel around the ballpark so many years years ago.
Speaker 15: She's now one hundred and three mo.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I saw that today, and as elegant as ever,
Speaker 9: I started to reflect back upon an afternoon that you
Speaker 9: and I had the privilege of being upstairs on the
Speaker 9: eighth floor when the dedication of the Jackie Robinson statue,
Speaker 9: which originally was up there before they moved it out
Speaker 9: of the center field and the Blase out there, and
Speaker 9: Rachel Robinson was there. Vince Gully was the MC. And
Speaker 9: how gracious of a human being that she has been
Speaker 9: through all this endeavors. We talked about Jackie Robinson, but
Speaker 9: you have to consider too, is that his bride. You
Speaker 9: talk about having the perfect person besides your beside you
Speaker 9: during life, it was Rachel Robinson who had to also
Speaker 9: experience a lot of things as Jackie came up into
Speaker 9: Major League Baseball.
Speaker 15: And on this day, of course, Jackie Robinson broke the
Speaker 15: color barrier. He was twenty eight years old at the time,
Speaker 15: Martin Luther King was eighteen, and on this day in
Speaker 15: nineteen forty seven, it was eight years before Rosa Parks
Speaker 15: famously refused to give up her seat to a white
Speaker 15: man down in Montgomery, Alabama. Another thing about Robinson, of course,
Speaker 15: you and I have had the privilege to spend a
Speaker 15: lot of time with the Robinson family, Rachel in particular,
Speaker 15: forty four years before Robinson joined the Dodgers, forty four
Speaker 15: years before, their collective winning percentage was four eighty four,
Speaker 15: three World Series appeared, no wins. In the ten years
Speaker 15: at Robinson played for the Dodgers, the Dodger winning percentage
Speaker 15: was six point thirty one, with six World Series appearances
Speaker 15: and of course the championship in fifty five. So on
Speaker 15: every level, Jackie Robinson made an impact. And even we
Speaker 15: can set aside on the field what he has meant
Speaker 15: to this country and just and then you.
Speaker 7: Also throw winning.
Speaker 14: We've talked about it a lot.
Speaker 15: Too, what he has meant to the Dodgers, and therefore
Speaker 15: what the Dodgers have meant to baseball.
Speaker 10: And so on.
Speaker 9: I looked up yesterday the first game that Jackie played in.
Speaker 9: He scored the winning run in that game. He was
Speaker 9: zerover three as a hitter. He hit a home run
Speaker 9: that day for society or you nail that too, all right.
Speaker 15: So the Dodgers looking to sweep the three game series,
Speaker 15: and it's off to Colorado, and don't forget your galoshes up.
Speaker 15: The first pitch coming up in.
Speaker 6: Just a bit, all right, thank you, Charlie. Dodgers Baseball
Speaker 6: is brought to you by City of Hope. Preparation, precision,
Speaker 6: and unrelenting commitment to being the best at what they do.
Speaker 4: And they are.
Speaker 6: That's what makes a champion at City of Hope. That
Speaker 6: commitment has one focus curing cancer.
Speaker 4: City of Hope.
Speaker 6: Champions of Hope, make an appointment today at cityo Hope
Speaker 6: dot Org.
Speaker 4: Still to come here on Dodgers on Deck.
Speaker 6: Before first pitch, we'll get you a preview of this
Speaker 6: pitching matchup Steven Nelson Rick Monday, we'll get those keys
Speaker 6: of the game. But up next we go high and
Speaker 6: tight with a very special guest, Bob Kendrick, the president
Speaker 6: of the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum in Kansas City. That
Speaker 6: is next on this Jackie Robinson Day, Dodgers and the Mets.
Speaker 6: First pitch is seven to ten. I'm Tim Kats's the
Speaker 6: back to back World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 1: As we were saying, this is Morongo Sino Dodgers on
Speaker 1: the official home of La Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 6: It's a Dodgers and the New York Mets on this
Speaker 6: Jackie Robinson Day Show.
Speaker 4: Hey o Tani on the Mount.
Speaker 6: Dodgers Baseball is brought to you by Shaky's Pizza Parlor,
Speaker 6: the official pizza partner of the Dodgers audio broadcast. When
Speaker 6: it is game night, it's group night at Shakey's dot Com.
Speaker 1: And now what will likely be vast a fielding insults
Speaker 1: from a Dodger player.
Speaker 4: It's an engagement of endearment.
Speaker 1: This is high and tight.
Speaker 5: Well, it's an extra special Jackie Robinsonde at Dodgers Stadium.
Speaker 5: Not only the Mets are in town, but we have
Speaker 5: the president of the Negro League Museum in town and
Speaker 5: he addressed the Dodgers and Mets earlier today. And that's
Speaker 5: my guy, Bob Kendrick. Bob, thank you so much. And man,
Speaker 5: it's great to be in La with you instead of
Speaker 5: Kansas City.
Speaker 13: Yeah, and now it's great to be back here at
Speaker 13: Dodgers Stadium, to be here in the great city of LA.
Speaker 13: And what an incredible celebration this is every year, but
Speaker 13: for me, it means so much more to actually be
Speaker 13: here as part of this celebration.
Speaker 5: What did it mean to you when the Dodgers asked
Speaker 5: you to come to La come to Dodgers Stadium, and
Speaker 5: in the shadow of this statue, speak to the Dodgers
Speaker 5: and Mets.
Speaker 7: It was it was special. It was special.
Speaker 13: So you feel a very strong sense of pride that
Speaker 13: they think enough of the work that we do there
Speaker 13: in Kansas City that it would be meaningful for me
Speaker 13: to be here to deliver the address to the two
Speaker 13: ball clubs. And so that means a great deal to
Speaker 13: all of us at the Negro League Baseball Museum.
Speaker 5: Those of us that had visited several times. I remember
Speaker 5: my first time was with Andre Ethier, and you give
Speaker 5: us not only a history lesson in baseball, but a
Speaker 5: history lesson in American history. Is that what you were
Speaker 5: trying to convey to these ballplayers that may not know you.
Speaker 13: Know, because with each generation we move further and further away.
Speaker 13: Because I have to remind myself not to for granted
Speaker 13: that everyone knows Jackie's incredible story, because the byproduct of
Speaker 13: progress is that we have a tendency to forget, and
Speaker 13: we cannot forget what Jackie was able to do. And
Speaker 13: you're right, Jackie's story, the story of the Negro Leagues
Speaker 13: in general, is much bigger than the game of baseball.
Speaker 13: Yet it's still just a tiny part of the great
Speaker 13: story of a game of baseball. And anytime that we
Speaker 13: get the opportunity to elevate the awareness, hopefully the interest,
Speaker 13: and remind people of just how courageous Jackie Robinson was,
Speaker 13: we want to make sure that we take full advantage
Speaker 13: of that and for me to be able to make
Speaker 13: the connectivity to his incredible story back to the negro leagues,
Speaker 13: because this does not happen without the negro leagues. Now,
Speaker 13: you've got to think that baseball would have integrated at
Speaker 13: some point in time, but who knows how long? And
Speaker 13: then where were those players going to come from if
Speaker 13: you did not have the negro leagues? And so the
Speaker 13: stories cannot be separated. But a lot of people don't
Speaker 13: know that side of his story as it relates to
Speaker 13: his time in Kansas City with the great Kansas City monarchs.
Speaker 5: I love how Bob Kendrick reminded everybody what Jackie Robinson
Speaker 5: did was before Rosa Parks, was before doctor Martin Luther
Speaker 5: King Junior. He is at the forefront of the civil
Speaker 5: rights movement.
Speaker 13: So you can effectively divide the twentieth century into two pieces.
Speaker 13: Before Jackie and after Jackie. That's the profound impact that
Speaker 13: he had, and he was the spark that ignited the
Speaker 13: civil rights movement in this country. Now oftentimes people don't
Speaker 13: necessarily connect the two, but we do, and I think
Speaker 13: it is eye opening for people when they do learn
Speaker 13: how at the forefront of this movement he really was.
Speaker 5: Now, we love having Bob Kendrick in Los Angeles, but
Speaker 5: you have to get to Kansas City to the Negro
Speaker 5: League Baseball Museum. That is one of the more special places.
Speaker 5: And my favorite piece in that museum is the painting
Speaker 5: of the Dinner that we've heard don Nucom tell many
Speaker 5: times before.
Speaker 13: Yes, the painting is called Grace, and Nuke told the
Speaker 13: story with great clarity, and he was so inspired when
Speaker 13: he would tell that story, and it was captivating, and
Speaker 13: he would oftentimes tell the story of how they had dinner.
Speaker 13: He Jackie, Roy Campanella, and Doctor King sitting down having
Speaker 13: dinner when Doctor King conveyed to them that he could
Speaker 13: not have done what they did because they were out
Speaker 13: there moving the needle for progress. Now Here is the
Speaker 13: greatest civil rights leader of all time acknowledging what Jackie
Speaker 13: did as an individual because he was.
Speaker 7: Playing a team sport.
Speaker 13: When he took that field with the Brooklyn Dodgers, he
Speaker 13: was visualized and that he could not have done it,
Speaker 13: and that they helped make his job easier. That alone
Speaker 13: should help us understand the impact of what Jackie was
Speaker 13: able to do. And then those other integration pioneers who
Speaker 13: followed Jackie. Yeah, the Don Newcomb's, the Roy Campanella's, the
Speaker 13: Junior Gilliams, the Joe Blacks, who are all tied to
Speaker 13: the Dodgers organization, all played a significant role in helping
Speaker 13: move the needle of progress forward. And I think that's
Speaker 13: what doctor King was relating, and that painting so beautifully
Speaker 13: depicts them. They're sitting at the dinner table holding hands
Speaker 13: while they're saying grace. Very powerful certainly is so.
Speaker 5: Is Bob Kendrick. There are so many ways to describe you.
Speaker 5: Your genuine love for the stories that you tell and
Speaker 5: the meaning behind them come across, whether it's to the
Speaker 5: Dodgers or Mets, or to anybody that comes to visit
Speaker 5: the Negro League Hall of Fame the museum. So man
Speaker 5: awesome to have you out here. Glad your knee is
Speaker 5: doing good and you still got the best style in America,
Speaker 5: hands down.
Speaker 13: Yeah, the news doing much better than that when I
Speaker 13: saw you last and I was trying to fake it.
Speaker 13: I was trying to move around without my braso. But
Speaker 13: the news much much much better. The thing that I've learned,
Speaker 13: the older I get, the slur, the healing processes. But
Speaker 13: it's what an honor to be part of this celebration
Speaker 13: and to be back here at Dodger Stadium. So thanks
Speaker 13: so much for having me.
Speaker 5: I'll never forget this Jackie Robinson Day. Thank you for
Speaker 5: stopping by. And awesome to do this with you in
Speaker 5: front of this statue.
Speaker 13: Yeah, no, this made it even special. And to have
Speaker 13: the two clubs gathered around this amazing piece of art
Speaker 13: that really is alive. Yeah, and it lives through all
Speaker 13: of them who play this game, and we wanted to
Speaker 13: remind them that they do carry that level of civic
Speaker 13: and social responsibility with them.
Speaker 7: We all do.
Speaker 13: We all do.
Speaker 7: Thank you, Bob there.
Speaker 5: He is my guy, Bob Kendrick, more than just the
Speaker 5: president of the Negro League Baseball Museum. He's one of
Speaker 5: a kind, all class, great person and we love having
Speaker 5: you here. So I know you're in demand today. You
Speaker 5: better get that in me moving.
Speaker 14: There he is.

Speaker 6: All Right, thanks a lot of DV A great guy,
Speaker 6: Bob Kendrick. Make sure you check out the museum if
Speaker 6: you're in the Kansas City area. It's got so much

Speaker 6: This year, he pitched for the WBC Team USA, making
Speaker 6: his four start this year, last time out five innings.
Speaker 6: He allowed two or fewer runs in all three of
Speaker 6: those starts. Last time out again was five innings, one run,
Speaker 6: five hits, and three strikeouts. This is his first start
Speaker 6: against the Dodgers in his career, but he has faced
Speaker 6: him eight times as a reliever.
Speaker 4: Show hey.
Speaker 6: Otani want to know zero Era Thirty one year old
Speaker 6: right hander making his third start this year last time out,
Speaker 6: six innings, one run, four hits, two strikeouts. Had a
Speaker 6: no decision against the Blue Jays last week in Toronto.
Speaker 6: The last time Otani started a game on the mound
Speaker 6: but not in the lineup. May twenty eighth, twenty twenty one,
Speaker 6: the year before Major League Baseball instituted was known as
Speaker 6: the Otani rule, which allows players to spend entire game
Speaker 6: in the lineup if they're also at d H. Tonight
Speaker 6: the first time Showy Otani is ever facing the New
Speaker 6: York Mets. Show Heyo, Tony Clay Holmes, Dodgers Mets. We're
Speaker 6: fifteen minutes away for first pitch. Keys to the game.
Speaker 6: Our next I'm Tim kais is the back to.
Speaker 4: Back World Series champion Dodgers audio nowhere.
Speaker 1: This is Marongo Casino Dodgers on deck on your home
Speaker 1: for the Blue All season.
Speaker 6: Long, It's the Dodgers and then New York Mets on
Speaker 6: this Jackie Robinson Day. Showyo, Tony Clay Holmes. The pitching matchup.
Speaker 6: As we get you ready for the start of the
Speaker 6: game with the Sapporo starts a great moments. Start with
Speaker 6: Saporo beer, whatever your taste preference. Toporo has you cover
Speaker 6: with a variety of crisp and refreshing loggers, including light
Speaker 6: and non alcoholic beers. Siporo good with sushi, great with baseball.
Speaker 6: Before first pitch, back out to the booth. Steven Nelson,
Speaker 6: Rick Monday, guys.
Speaker 2: All right, TC, we are approaching first pitch it'll be
Speaker 2: three by show Hey Well Tani opposite Clay Holmes for
Speaker 2: the Mets.
Speaker 7: The Dodgers have a.
Speaker 2: Chance to sweep the series here against New York and
Speaker 2: continue to extend their best record in baseball. Right now
Speaker 2: twelve and four entering the night, and the New York
Speaker 2: Mets are going the wrong way without want Soto. They
Speaker 2: have lost seven in a row. So, Mo, what is
Speaker 2: top of mind for you this?
Speaker 9: I think the biggest thing is what's the condition of
Speaker 9: show hey o Tani. Is there any residual effects of
Speaker 9: being hit on the back of the right shoulder a
Speaker 9: couple of nights ago. Is that going to enter into
Speaker 9: the picture at all? Dave Roberts said they're going to
Speaker 9: watch him very very closely tonight, And I think from
Speaker 9: a Dodger hitting standpoint against the left hander Clay Holmes, understand,
Speaker 9: first of all, he is primarily a ground ball pitcher,
Speaker 9: and the fact that he gets behind if we look
Speaker 9: at what he did last year and so far this
Speaker 9: season and the other three starts that he's had when
Speaker 9: he's been behind the count, he's really relied upon the
Speaker 9: fastball more than anything else. And this left hander, I mean,
Speaker 9: he has really been sensational when he's had traffic on
Speaker 9: the base with runners in the scoring position last year
Speaker 9: and so far this season just a one to eleven
Speaker 9: batting average against.
Speaker 7: He knows what he's doing out there.
Speaker 2: Another thing too, while show Hee Otani comes into tonight,
Speaker 2: he has the longest active on bay streak in baseball
Speaker 2: forty eight games, and the longest active streak without allowing
Speaker 2: an urn run on the mound. He gave up a
Speaker 2: run in Toronto, but it was unearned. The on bay
Speaker 2: streak will not be impacted tonight if he doesn't have
Speaker 2: a plate appearance, So I know there was a question
Speaker 2: down stare. Some of the media, especially the Japanese, mean
Speaker 2: to wait like his will his on base streak come
Speaker 2: to an end if he pitches tonight. But he's not
Speaker 2: gonna hit. No, that does not impact the other things.
Speaker 2: I know everything is unique with him, But if you
Speaker 2: don't have played appearance, you're on bay streak game coming?
Speaker 7: It is? It is? It isn't it is? It isn't.
Speaker 7: Stay tuned fast to the seatbelt. Hey, we're wearing to go.
Speaker 2: We're excited to watch show Hee Otani on the mound
Speaker 2: tonight and see if the Dodgers can finish his home
Speaker 2: stand on a high note in a series sweep.
Speaker 7: Tim, we'll get it back to.
Speaker 6: You, all right, Thank you guys, first pitches, next show,
Speaker 6: Hey Otani on the mound when we come back. Enjoy everybody.
