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 2: The only reason the Dodgers are doing this because they
Speaker 2: can't 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 3: Now your pregame host of the world champion La Dodgers,
Speaker 3: tam Cats.
Speaker 6: Hi, everybody, and welcome in to Morongo Casino Dodgers on
Speaker 6: deck on this Wednesday, May thirteenth, twenty twenty six. You're
Speaker 6: Los Angeles Dodgers reeling a little bit right now. The
Speaker 6: Dodgers are struggling, having lost four in a row. A
Speaker 6: half game back of the San Diego Padres. Going into
Speaker 6: action tonight the Dodgers at twenty four and eighteen on
Speaker 6: this season. The Dodgers in need of the win. Well,
Speaker 6: they're gonna give the ball to the right guy. Show
Speaker 6: hey Otani on the mount tonight, first pitch from Uniclowfield
Speaker 6: the Dodgers Stadium is coming up at seven to ten.
Speaker 6: Between then and now, we got a lot to cover
Speaker 6: here on Marongo Casino. Dodgers on deck. You are gonna
Speaker 6: hear from Dodger manager Dave Roberts. That's coming up in
Speaker 6: about twenty minutes. We'll dive deeper to this pitching matchup.
Speaker 6: David Basse goes one on one with Jason Hayward, now
Speaker 6: returning in a new role with the Dodgers in the
Speaker 6: front office under Andrew Freeman and Brandon Gombs. Sixteen years
Speaker 6: in the Big leagues, played with the Dodgers, now back
Speaker 6: in the organization in the front office. You'll hood from
Speaker 6: Jay hay coming up in just a little bit. We
Speaker 6: got your Dodgers' magical moment. Shortly we'll visit with Kirsten
Speaker 6: Watson from Sports at LA and in just a few
Speaker 6: minutes we'll head out to the Galloping for broadcast booth
Speaker 6: with Steven Nelson and a Rick Monday. Well, last night
Speaker 6: not a great night for the Dodgers offense, and certainly
Speaker 6: a night in which Yoshinobu Yamamoto would like to have back.
Speaker 6: He pitched into the seventh innam Buds. Yamamoto gave a
Speaker 6: five runs on six hits while striking out eight on
Speaker 6: the way, gave him three home runs more on that
Speaker 6: coming up in just a second. The Dodgers had their opportunities,
Speaker 6: at least early on they did. The Dodgers loaded the
Speaker 6: bases for will Smith.
Speaker 4: The old one from Houser.
Speaker 2: Smith hits a fly ball to right field, pushing beck
Speaker 2: Lee's on the warning track, and he hauls it in
Speaker 2: on the warning track as he runs into his bullpen fence.
Speaker 2: Well Tony tags and scores from third. It's a sacrifice
Speaker 2: fly for will Smith and the Dodgers jump ahead one nothing.
Speaker 7: Well, the Dongers will take it, obviously they score here
Speaker 7: in the first inning. But I'll tell you what, there
Speaker 7: have been some terrific defensive plays in the outfield in
Speaker 7: this home stand against the.
Speaker 4: Dodgers in right field.
Speaker 6: Indeed, a nice play in right field, as the Dodgers
Speaker 6: only able to get one there in the bottom half
Speaker 6: of the first Indy despite the bases Loadly, that's the
Speaker 6: top tier to play the game, brought to by Arco quality,
Speaker 6: top tier gas for less. Then in the third, Eric Hoss,
Speaker 6: the catcher for the Giants not known for his power,
Speaker 6: hit home run to tie the game in one bottom
Speaker 6: of the inning. Dodgers answered right back show hey Otani
Speaker 6: it's his kid. He gets a home run three hundred
Speaker 6: ninety eight feet to less center field as the Dodgers
Speaker 6: took a two to one lead on Otani's seventh home
Speaker 6: run of this season. Then in the fifth, the wheel
Speaker 6: started to fall off for Yamamoto. Harrison Bader a home
Speaker 6: run to left that tied the game in two. The
Speaker 6: very next batter again a guy who doesn't hit a
Speaker 6: lot of home runs, Eric Hoss.
Speaker 2: He is giving up a lot more barrels this year,
Speaker 2: Yoshinoba Yamamoto and the Dodgers have become accustomed to.
Speaker 8: Now has again first pitch swinging in the air, and
Speaker 8: he's got his second home run of the game. Three
Speaker 8: two San Francisco, as the Giants go back to back
Speaker 8: with two outs in the fifth and Eric Haas, who
Speaker 8: hadn't hit a home run since last May before tonight,
Speaker 8: he's got two and two plate appearances.
Speaker 6: Eric Hass had two home runs all last year. He
Speaker 6: had two home runs last night. The Giants took a
Speaker 6: three to two late and then the seventh, the Giants
Speaker 6: would tack on more as they scored three more runs
Speaker 6: as they go on and beat the Dodgers last night
Speaker 6: by a final of six to two. The Dodgers give
Speaker 6: Adrian Houser his first.
Speaker 4: Win of the year.
Speaker 6: He was zero to four coming into the game with
Speaker 6: an era north as six. He lowers it under six
Speaker 6: and his first win of the season. Meanwhile, Yamamoto gets
Speaker 6: tagged with the loss. He falls to three and three
Speaker 6: on the season. The Dodgers had opportunities early in the game,
Speaker 6: but not much after that first inning. They stranded eight
Speaker 6: base runners on the night, but just zero for three
Speaker 6: with runners in scoring position. They just didn't have the opportunities,
Speaker 6: as the Dodgers scored two runs on four hits in
Speaker 6: the entire game. That's it. The offense needs to wake up,
Speaker 6: as the Dodgers have now lost four in a row
Speaker 6: as they fall to twenty four and eighteen on the season. Tonight,
Speaker 6: they continue their series with the San Francisco Giants. They
Speaker 6: need to get a win, so they give the ball
Speaker 6: to show Hey, Show Hey, Otani on the mound first
Speaker 6: pitch at seven ten and with more we head out
Speaker 6: to the Galvin Ford broadcast both as we say hello
Speaker 6: to Stephen Nelson and Rick Monday. Guys, all right, TC.
Speaker 2: The sun came up on this Wednesday. Despite the Dodgers
Speaker 2: losing two in a row to start this four game
Speaker 2: set against the Giants.
Speaker 6: And four in a row overall in mo Those four.
Speaker 2: Losses actually make some history, not the kind the Dodgers
Speaker 2: are hoping to make. In twenty twenty six, They've lost
Speaker 2: four games in a row by at least four runs
Speaker 2: for just the second time in franchise history, the first
Speaker 2: time since nineteen thirty six. All that to say and
Speaker 2: underscore that this team is in a funk.
Speaker 7: Well, and talk about underscore. In those four games that
Speaker 7: they have lost, they've been outscored twenty nine runs to nine.
Speaker 7: Something has to change, and it's going to change in
Speaker 7: a hurry. The different lineup toninth, you've got show Heyo
Speaker 7: Tani on the mound. You do not have show Hao
Speaker 7: Tani as the designs. So Mookie Benz moves up to Leidosbon.
Speaker 7: A couple of other changes in Dave Roberts starting lineup.
Speaker 7: But this is about now. I think selection of pitches
Speaker 7: for the hitting standpoint, and also better swings.
Speaker 4: We're not seeing that on a consistent basis.
Speaker 7: About the only thing I think we can analyze the
Speaker 7: say has been consistent in recent times. I'm talking about
Speaker 7: over the last couple of weeks has been the defense
Speaker 7: of this ball club, which I think has been underrated
Speaker 7: at this point in the season.
Speaker 2: Oh, they've been one of the best defensive teams in
Speaker 2: the league. It did falter a little bit last night
Speaker 2: in a first and third, one out situation with the
Speaker 2: safety squeeze put on by Drew Gilbert and Freddie Freeman
Speaker 2: couldn't come home and make the play just but well
Speaker 2: executed to San Francisco. I think that you could say
Speaker 2: more so than the Dodgers failing to execute a play.
Speaker 2: But either way, now they're in a hole in this series.
Speaker 2: They're trying to fight to split this thing, and they've
Speaker 2: dropped four or five games to the Giants, who in
Speaker 2: this series they look like the Giants. I think most
Speaker 2: analysts expected going into the season. They just hadn't been here.
Speaker 4: Up to this point.
Speaker 7: Yeah, the expectations were much higher than what the performance
Speaker 7: was until they have come into this series and of
Speaker 7: recent times as well. They're still eighteen and twenty four overall,
Speaker 7: but the Giants have won three in a row and
Speaker 7: they are playing like a ball club now that has
Speaker 7: kind of gotten a foothold, especially when you look at
Speaker 7: the fact they scored twenty two runs in the three
Speaker 7: games that they have won. They hit five home runs.
Speaker 7: This is not a home run hitting ball club if
Speaker 7: you look at the Giants, but they had lost nine
Speaker 7: of the previous eleven games, scoring just barely over two
Speaker 7: runs a ballgame in that stretch. But right now they
Speaker 7: are feeling their oats and they are not afraid to
Speaker 7: swing the bats.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're looking for their first four game winning streak
Speaker 2: of the season. The Dodters trying to avoid a five
Speaker 2: game losing streak for the first time since last September.
Speaker 2: That was part of that two two and a half
Speaker 2: month skid where they were one of the worst teams
Speaker 2: in baseball in twenty twenty five. And they got the
Speaker 2: right guy on the mound to try and stop this thing.
Speaker 2: They lose their d eight to the top of the
Speaker 2: order because he's getting a nine off from hitting Old
Speaker 2: Tani though, is the best era in baseball of pitchers
Speaker 2: with at least what thirty innings or whatever it is,
Speaker 2: it's sub one. He is coming off back to back
Speaker 2: losses though, despite giving up two or fewer runs in
Speaker 2: both of those games.
Speaker 7: Yeah, he could have sued for lack of support, there's
Speaker 7: no question about that. We talked about a different lineup tonight.
Speaker 7: Max Munsey is going to sit at least at the beginning,
Speaker 7: the left handed Robbie Ray going for San Francisco, So
Speaker 7: Santiago Espino will be at third base. Alex Cole will
Speaker 7: get the start in the left field as well in
Speaker 7: tonight's Bowl games, so kind of just readjusting some lineup positions.
Speaker 7: Miguel Rojas will be at second base, but again Mookie
Speaker 7: Betts will bat in the eliteof spot.
Speaker 4: Then Will Smith and Freddie Freeman.
Speaker 2: Looking forward to this night at the ballpark.
Speaker 4: It's a beautiful one.
Speaker 2: They are giving away their twenty twenty five World Championship
Speaker 2: gold jerseys as folks stroll into the stadium. Tim will
Speaker 2: join you a little bit later with a key from Moe.
Speaker 6: All right, thank you, Nell. He has a call you

Speaker 6: First pitch coming up at sevent ten.
Speaker 1: This is the Otani rewind two and one.
Speaker 2: The count Harshuser Old Tani drills one left.
Speaker 6: Hailed this post hit deep and it is gone.
Speaker 8: He looks to the sky rounding first base as if
Speaker 8: to say, finally, show hey, old Tani and the Dodgers
Speaker 8: hope that is a slump busting swing.
Speaker 1: It is a tie breaking one for sure.
Speaker 6: Two on LA show Hey Otani homer for the first
Speaker 6: time since April twenty sixth as show Hey goes deep
Speaker 6: his seventh of the year. Otani last night two for four,
Speaker 6: the home run, on base three times, including a walk.
Speaker 6: The Dodgers only had four hits in the game. He
Speaker 6: had half of them. However, the Giants win the game
Speaker 6: last night, six to two.
Speaker 1: This is Kirston's Corner with Kirston Watson.
Speaker 6: And Kirston now joins us from the stadium. Brought to
Speaker 6: by Cars for Kids, the easiest way to get rid
Speaker 6: of that old car. Donate today, your car can be
Speaker 6: picked up tomorrow. Donate now at Carsfrokids dot org. That's
Speaker 6: Cars with the K, the Dodgers and a funk right
Speaker 6: now and tonight show Hey O Tani on the mound,
Speaker 6: but not in the lineup, Kirsen.
Speaker 9: Yeah, only focusing on pitching today. And you know what,
Speaker 9: let's just start with that quickly because with him focusing
Speaker 9: on pitchure, he gets to be the stopper today. And
Speaker 9: he has been so good this year on the mountain.
Speaker 9: We know he's talked about, you know, wanting to win
Speaker 9: aside Young, the results have been there, and so the
Speaker 9: hope is that he can really set the tone. Now
Speaker 9: you mentioned he is not in the lineup today, and
Speaker 9: this has been a big topic of conversation show Hey
Speaker 9: as of late has been struggling at the plate. He's
Speaker 9: been trying to find ways to get back on track. Now,
Speaker 9: last night he did get back on track. He did
Speaker 9: have a two hit game, had a home run that
Speaker 9: went to like left center, and that's exactly when he's
Speaker 9: going there. He is truly going right. So you know,
Speaker 9: Dave Roberts had shared that he had already had a
Speaker 9: conversation with Shohy and the plan yesterday as well yes today,
Speaker 9: was to have him just focusing on pitching, not worrying
Speaker 9: about hitting. He's not going to be playing at all tomorrow,
Speaker 9: so he's not going to be in as the DH tomorrow.
Speaker 9: If situation comes about and they need him as a
Speaker 9: late bat late in the game, then he will be available.
Speaker 9: But Dave has made it very clear that with him
Speaker 9: getting back to his two way full time ability, just
Speaker 9: it is a lot on the body. It's a lot mentally,
Speaker 9: it's a lot physically. We know he's been grinding at
Speaker 9: the plate as I mentioned, So it was more of
Speaker 9: a way of how can we just give him a
Speaker 9: day to reset, give him a little time. So by
Speaker 9: allowing him just to focus on the pitching and then
Speaker 9: allowing him to recover fully tomorrow, the hope is that
Speaker 9: not only can he continue to be in a good spot,
Speaker 9: but it also could allow him to be in a
Speaker 9: situation where he can continue to build on the results
Speaker 9: that he had last night.
Speaker 6: With no show Hay in the lineup as a hitter,
Speaker 6: that means the Dodgers lineup looks a little different, and
Speaker 6: by a little it means a lot different.
Speaker 9: To that it does mean a lot different. So obviously
Speaker 9: no show, Hey, so who isn't at the DH? Usually
Speaker 9: we've been seeing adult and rushing stepping in as the
Speaker 9: DH whenever show Heyo Tani? Has it been hitting as
Speaker 9: a d when he's been pitching? But you know this,
Speaker 9: Today Dave Roberts decided to put Taoscar Hernandez as a DH,
Speaker 9: and it kind of is like a.
Speaker 6: Twofold for Tao.
Speaker 9: Not only does it get him off his feet, they
Speaker 9: are essentially at the beginning of thirteen in a row,
Speaker 9: so it gets him off his feet and playing a
Speaker 9: lot recently, but it also kind of puts him in
Speaker 9: a position where he can keep working on his swing.
Speaker 9: He is someone who they moved him down in the
Speaker 9: order a few days ago and that actually did work
Speaker 9: for him for Taoscar, so he's still working through a
Speaker 9: few things, trying to get that field, trying to get
Speaker 9: that consistency, so it allows for him just to continue
Speaker 9: to be out there to work through. That also allows
Speaker 9: for Alex call who has been excellent at the plate,
Speaker 9: allows him some playing time in the outfield, and then
Speaker 9: just looking at the order, they decided not just to
Speaker 9: switch the DH, but ultimately changing the lineup a little
Speaker 9: bit so Mookie Betts, who Dodger fans have seen a
Speaker 9: lot in the past batting lead off, not since Joho
Speaker 9: Tani has been here, but they had seen that, and
Speaker 9: so he's going to be back there. And the hope is,
Speaker 9: obviously with his return coming off the IL to start
Speaker 9: this series, was hopefully he can be the spark for
Speaker 9: the offense, and that is a feeling amongst everyone, not
Speaker 9: necessarily him being the spark, but somebody being the spark.
Speaker 6: And hopefully that can start tonight. Let's hope it begins tonight.
Speaker 6: This Dodgers team can turn things around and get back
Speaker 6: on a winning streak. Here still, we appreciate it. We'll
Speaker 6: check you with you after the game. Still to come
Speaker 6: here on Marongo because you know Dodgers on Deck, David
Speaker 6: bat Day will go one on one with Jason Hayward. Yes,

Speaker 5: Questions for Dave?
Speaker 4: Dave? Can you just describe Dave? Can you talk about
Speaker 4: the pressure in.
Speaker 10: The dugouts with Dave Roberts, Yeah, I think, uh, you know,
Speaker 10: started with show hey and just trying to you know,
Speaker 10: allow him to have a couple of days to uh,
Speaker 10: you know, reset the body, nothink about hitting. And I
Speaker 10: think for me it's it's Taylo's been playing a lot,
Speaker 10: planning to playing a few more games in a row,
Speaker 10: and then just to kind of give him a DH
Speaker 10: and get Alex call in the lineup.
Speaker 4: I think is a good thing.
Speaker 10: And I like the balance of the lineup, and you know,
Speaker 10: at some point here I'm gonna try to get Freddy
Speaker 10: a day off and you know we'll have that conversation.
Speaker 10: But I like tonight when you ask to through.
Speaker 9: The april the other night, when what did you start
Speaker 9: seeing from Nisa because of that? Do you think you're
Speaker 9: seeing a good adjustment right now?
Speaker 10: That's because of looking to get back on tract I
Speaker 10: do you know last night wasn't wasn't great, But I
Speaker 10: think a couple of nights ago, I thought, you know,
Speaker 10: all the avouts were good and you know, like I
Speaker 10: said the other day, it's I think we are at
Speaker 10: our best if tails up a little bit higher. But
Speaker 10: I also feel that, you know, you've got to, you know,
Speaker 10: earn that right to hit in certain parts of the order.
Speaker 10: And so I know he's been working on some mechanical
Speaker 10: things and some approach things. So that's that's good, and
Speaker 10: you know, you know, he's he's a guy that we
Speaker 10: need to be good though.
Speaker 6: All right, there's the manager, Dave Roberts with some pregame thoughts.
Speaker 6: When we continue here, I'm a Wrongo Casino Dodgers on deck.
Speaker 6: We'll check in with the David Vez say get you
Speaker 6: all the latest as we lead you up to Dodgers
Speaker 6: and Giants. First pitch from Uniclow Field, that Dodgers Dadium's
Speaker 6: coming up at seven to ten. I'm Tim Kates is
Speaker 6: the back to back World Series champion Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 3: As we were saying, this is Marongo Casino Dodgers on
Speaker 3: tach on the official home of LA Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 6: Dodgers and Giants on this Wednesday, and I'm show Hey
Speaker 6: Otani on the mount. First pitch coming up at seven ten,
Speaker 6: Dodgers Baseball is brought to you by al Poto, born
Speaker 6: in la and made for your game day. Al Poto
Speaker 6: brings authentic Mexican style tomato, sauces, sauces and hot sauces
Speaker 6: right to your table every single time, El Pato Gourmet
Speaker 6: and a can.
Speaker 3: Joining Tim Kates on Dodgers on Deck, I accept everybody
Speaker 3: for who they are.
Speaker 1: This is Dodger insider David Basse.
Speaker 6: All right, DV as you know, sports talker radio in
Speaker 6: southern California right now buzzing about the struggles of the
Speaker 6: Dodgers and five to seventies Petros some money. The Panic
Speaker 6: Brothers are in full of fact. Yeah, you know.
Speaker 5: Obviously it's tough to watch. I can understand why fans
Speaker 5: are not very happy with the way things have gone.
Speaker 5: And the reality is, since April eighteenth, the Dodgers have
Speaker 5: a nine and fourteen record. Only the Mets and Diamondbacks
Speaker 5: have a worse record during that period of time. And
Speaker 5: what's even more frustrating is the Dodgers are getting excellent
Speaker 5: starting pitching. They're getting very good pitching out of their bullpen,
Speaker 5: but their offense is not scoring. They're only averaging two
Speaker 5: runs per game since the beginning of that stretch of
Speaker 5: time where they're nine and fourteen since April eighteenth, So
Speaker 5: tonight a different look as the Dodgers will have Otani
Speaker 5: on the mound. But as you know Tim, he is
Speaker 5: not hitting tonight and may not even hit tomorrow.
Speaker 6: Dam is brought to by the Ford Maverick Motor Trends
Speaker 6: of North American Truck of the Year, the Ford Maverick.
Speaker 6: You need the most innovative truck with forty two miles
Speaker 6: per down at the best MSRP if its category. It's
Speaker 6: time to see Ford in a new light. Go to
Speaker 6: your Southern California four dealers today. What does that lineup
Speaker 6: look like tonight, David without show a hitting.
Speaker 5: Well, the Dodgers are facing a really good left hander,
Speaker 5: arguably the best left hander in the National League at
Speaker 5: least top three him and Chris Saal at the top
Speaker 5: of my list, with Blake Snell of course, as the
Speaker 5: three best lefties in the National League. So, Mookie Betts,
Speaker 5: as I've been telling you, Tim should be the leadoff
Speaker 5: hitter when Otani's not in the lineup. He is a
Speaker 5: little surprised. Taoskar Hernandez is the DH but it makes
Speaker 5: sense a left hander on the mound. You want to
Speaker 5: get as many. Right, he's in there, Alex call a
Speaker 5: better defensive player in left field, and Taoscar Hernandez gets
Speaker 5: off his feet. He's the DH. He's been struggling the
Speaker 5: last twenty games, hitting under two hundred without a home run.
Speaker 5: So as the DH, not only does he get arrest
Speaker 5: from patrolling left field, but also during the game he
Speaker 5: can try to, you know, correct diagnose some of the
Speaker 5: hitting issues that he's had the last twenty games.
Speaker 6: All right, Dave, Time now to pick the horses at
Speaker 6: Santa Anita. We looked at Friday's first race, one mile
Speaker 6: on the dirt, currently a six horse race. As we
Speaker 6: pick head to head this spring season, who do you
Speaker 6: like in that first race?
Speaker 5: Well, I'm going with the number one horse wasting aces.
Speaker 4: All right, I'll go with.
Speaker 6: The number two horse, Doctor Filkens, the number two horse.
Speaker 6: Good luck to you. DV celebrates the doctor in the house.
Speaker 6: There always needs to be a doctor. Celebrate ninety years
Speaker 6: of horse racing at Santa Anita every Friday through Sunday
Speaker 6: with millions in payouts every race day. It's preaked the

Speaker 3: Joined by David Basseying, here's La Dodgers broadcaster and World
Speaker 3: Series Champion Dodger Rick Monday.
Speaker 5: Well, Rick, Today's a good day for the Dodgers to
Speaker 5: end a losing streak that we have not seen since
Speaker 5: the nineteen thirties, losing more straight by four or more runs.
Speaker 4: You believe that ninety years.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it would be nice if the Dodgers score some
Speaker 7: runs and they don't give up too many when show
Speaker 7: Hey Otani is pitching, and for Otani it's another night
Speaker 7: David that we did not see him as both a
Speaker 7: pitcher and as the designated hitter.
Speaker 5: I kind of like the Dodgers lineup tonight, Rick with
Speaker 5: Mookie Betts leading off in taoscar Hernandez the DH.
Speaker 7: Yeah, and we'll see how it works. Santelga Espinald would
Speaker 7: be at third base, Alex call Is in left field,
Speaker 7: and Miguel Rojas is going to be at second base,
Speaker 7: and for Ben's another start at the shortstop position is
Speaker 7: coming back. It just adds another dimension to this ball
Speaker 7: club when.
Speaker 5: You look at the Dodgers, and you've said this a
Speaker 5: few times during this stretch of time where the Dodgers
Speaker 5: have had trouble scoring with runners in scoring position, the
Speaker 5: number of double plays the Dodgers have hit into, do
Speaker 5: you feel like it may be time to start putting
Speaker 5: some runners in motion.
Speaker 7: Well, I think it's time to keep the ball off
Speaker 7: the ground. I'm not opposed to putting runners into motion
Speaker 7: as well, but which runners do you put into motion?
Speaker 7: Because the point will tank And I mentioned this last night.
Speaker 7: The last eleven games that Dodgers have hit into fifteen
Speaker 7: double plays. Of course, they had the back to back
Speaker 7: games in Saint Louis. They hit into four double plays
Speaker 7: in each of those two back to back games, so
Speaker 7: hopefully they get that going on as well. So ninety
Speaker 7: years as far as the record for the Dodgers not scoring,
Speaker 7: let me tell you a story that really started to
Speaker 7: develop in the mid nineteen forties. And I heard this
Speaker 7: story firsthand. But this is a significant date because the
Speaker 7: name Larry Miggins may not mean a whole lot. And
Speaker 7: for Larry Miggins, somewhere in the mid nineteen forties, he
Speaker 7: had a classmate of his that put his arm around
Speaker 7: his shoulder and said, Larry, you're going to be in
Speaker 7: the big leagues and the first time you hit a
Speaker 7: home run, I'm going to be the announcer to tell
Speaker 7: the world about it. Well, it was just a few
Speaker 7: years later. In fact, it was nineteen fifty two. On
Speaker 7: this very date that Larry Miggins did hit his first
Speaker 7: major league home run. It was against the Dodgers at
Speaker 7: Ebbitts Field. And the young man, the classmate that put
Speaker 7: his arm around Larry Miggins and said, you're going to
Speaker 7: be in the big leagues and hit the home run,
Speaker 7: and I'm going to call it was none other than
Speaker 7: Vin Scully.
Speaker 4: On this date in nineteen fifty two.
Speaker 5: How about that?
Speaker 7: And I heard Vin told Charlie Steiner and I one
Speaker 7: night in dinner in the back dining room about that,
Speaker 7: and he goes, Larry Miggins just had that flavor. He
Speaker 7: told everybody he wanted to be a major League baseball player,
Speaker 7: and Vin said, I wanted to be in Major League
Speaker 7: Baseball broadcaster. Well one of them went to the Hall
Speaker 7: of Fame being But how ironic that it was Vinnie
Speaker 7: that put his arm around Larry Meggan's his classmate when
Speaker 7: he was fifteen years of age, and said, you're going
Speaker 7: to be at the big lades.
Speaker 4: And when he hit your first major league home run,
Speaker 4: I'm going to be the one to cause him rick.
Speaker 5: It had to be surreal. See here the person that
Speaker 5: people are reading about today and that story from the
Speaker 5: guy that lived that story. Like Vin Scully, it must
Speaker 5: have been surreal to hear him tell that story that
Speaker 5: you just shared with us.
Speaker 7: It was emotional for him because it was a buddy
Speaker 7: of his and they both carried out and lived the
Speaker 7: dream together.
Speaker 4: Did they shared together when they're fifteen years old?
Speaker 5: I got to ask you this question because I get
Speaker 5: asked it a lot, and I have no idea what
Speaker 5: the answer is. When you were playing, and before you
Speaker 5: were playing, people always ask me, so, did Vin Scully
Speaker 5: go into the clubhouse? Was see around these guys in
Speaker 5: the eighties and the seventies? Did you see him a
Speaker 5: lot in your locker room?
Speaker 7: He didn't come in often, but when he did, he
Speaker 7: was there. His presence was there. We would see him
Speaker 7: on the road, in the dugout and around. He was
Speaker 7: always involved and a gentleman through and through it.
Speaker 4: It was kind of weird.
Speaker 7: I've told the story that you know. I was in
Speaker 7: the big leagues for what seven or eight years. At
Speaker 7: one particular time, they came to the Dodgers and my
Speaker 7: mother went night and says, hey, welcome to the big leagues. Well,
Speaker 7: her welcome the big leagues was because she heard for
Speaker 7: the first time her son's name being broadcast by Vince
Speaker 7: Kelly and playing.
Speaker 4: For the Dodgers.
Speaker 5: Hey, that's when you know you've arrived.
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, it's one of those pinch me moments. Thanks
Speaker 4: like being on the air with you, David.
Speaker 5: I'm sure this is you go from that story to
Speaker 5: being with me.
Speaker 4: Yeah, good time to go to commercial breakdown.
Speaker 5: Yeah it sounds good. Rick, You need to regroup with
Speaker 5: your life. We'll send it back to you in the studio. Tip,
Speaker 5: all right, thanks a lot.

Speaker 6: you go anywhere? We lead you up to Dodgers and Giants.
Speaker 6: I'm Tim Kase, the back to back World Series champion
Speaker 6: Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 3: As we were saying, this is Marongo Casino, Dodgers on
Speaker 3: tack On the official home of La Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 6: Dodgers and Giants. Show, Hey, O, Tony and Robbie Ray.
Speaker 6: The pitching match up Game three of this four game
Speaker 6: set Dodgers Baseball, brought to you by Shakey's Pizza Parlor. Wait,
Speaker 6: doing it for dinner? How about Shakey's the official pizza
Speaker 6: partner of the Dodgers Audio broadcast? Sounds pretty good right now?
Speaker 6: When it's game night, it's group night at Shaky's dot Com.
Speaker 3: And now what will likely be vass a fielding insults
Speaker 3: from a Dodger player.
Speaker 6: It's an engagement of endearment.
Speaker 1: This is high and touch, all right.
Speaker 5: The Dodgers and Giants are getting set for Game three
Speaker 5: of this series. Otani's pitching all that. But I'm joined
Speaker 5: right now by the newest Dodger employe. He's part of
Speaker 5: the Dodgers' front office staff now with Andrew Freeman as
Speaker 5: his special assistant. And that is sixteen year veteran World
Speaker 5: Series Champion, All Star and great guy Jason Hayward. Back
Speaker 5: in the Dodgers family. Great to have you out here,
Speaker 5: and man, I'm not afraid to talk to you. I'm
Speaker 5: not afraid to hug you. People might give me a
Speaker 5: lot of crap about it, but I'm a hugger.
Speaker 3: Oh.
Speaker 11: First off, David, I appreciate it. Man, it's so good
Speaker 11: to be back here, back around family, back around very
Speaker 11: familiar faces. And you know, when we talk about being
Speaker 11: a part of the Dodgers organization, it's amazing to just
Speaker 11: know everyone's working together as the team. As our good
Speaker 11: friend Chris Archer here, what's just saying. But now it's
Speaker 11: good to be back and good to have an opper.
Speaker 11: Much appreciation on behalf of Andrew Gombs of carving out
Speaker 11: some space for me Dave Roberts as well. I told him,
Speaker 11: I'm curious. I want to learn this side of the game.
Speaker 11: I like to work towards being in a front office
Speaker 11: member one day, contributing to a franchise, and here's an
Speaker 11: opportunity to get the ball rolling.
Speaker 4: So super grateful.
Speaker 5: Some of the best started from the ground up as
Speaker 5: far as this part of the life. What will you
Speaker 5: be doing? Will you be going to the minor leagues?
Speaker 5: Will you be just canvas seeing the entire organization.
Speaker 11: I will be going to the minor leagues. I'm talking
Speaker 11: about visiting every affiliate. The unfortunate thing for me in
Speaker 11: my mind is that then I'm starting now and the
Speaker 11: season's already begune. But I will be doing my best
Speaker 11: to catch up. I'll be traveling around with the lights
Speaker 11: of David Finley, Chris Archer, Tyson, Ross rabul lebon Is,
Speaker 11: of course communicating with Rock Oball Delhi, some of the
Speaker 11: outfeel people. Just doing whatever I can right now present day,
Speaker 11: right like putting sixteen years of experience as an outfielder,
Speaker 11: as a defender, as a world champion, and all those
Speaker 11: And when I say that, it's, you know, the sacrifice
Speaker 11: and contributing to the player development side, and at the
Speaker 11: same time going to affiliates, learning the scouting area, learning
Speaker 11: how to evaluate players and be a support system. You know,
Speaker 11: while I can right now in present day.
Speaker 5: Did you have this vision the last few years of
Speaker 5: playing or did you ever have this vision while you
Speaker 5: were in the thick of it.
Speaker 11: I don't want to say I had the vision because
Speaker 11: I don't think that's fair to say. I feel like
Speaker 11: I was heavily invested in doing whatever my role was,
Speaker 11: especially a latter part of the career.
Speaker 4: So maybe that's a start.
Speaker 11: Maybe that's coming off the bench, Maybe that's being a
Speaker 11: guy who's evaluating my teammates and doing my best to
Speaker 11: get the best out of them, to support them in
Speaker 11: a sense. But the more I looked at it, coming
Speaker 11: down to like the last couple of years, it's like, man,
Speaker 11: don't turn the page on the game yet, you know, like,
Speaker 11: see what else you can get out of it? And
Speaker 11: what I know is I enjoy having conversations about baseball.
Speaker 11: I enjoy having competitive conversations about how can we win,
Speaker 11: how can we do the best to put the right
Speaker 11: people in the right situation. And I know that sounds
Speaker 11: a lot like front office. It sounds a lot like
Speaker 11: building culture, building ors is organization, excuse me, and getting
Speaker 11: the best out of the players that are a part
Speaker 11: of the system. So that was my curious iss and
Speaker 11: I appreciate them. Let me have a stab at it.
Speaker 5: Since your shoes are on the ground now, not the spikes,
Speaker 5: you have a different kind of view of how the
Speaker 5: team is playing and what you've been seeing. Obviously they're
Speaker 5: not swinging the bats as well as we saw in
Speaker 5: the first few weeks of the season. What do you
Speaker 5: see and what do you remember as a player when
Speaker 5: you're kind of in this group type slump. How do
Speaker 5: you get out of it?
Speaker 11: Well, I think there are always gonna be different ways
Speaker 11: you get out of things, right out of those slumps, David,
Speaker 11: because every year's a different year, Every years a new year. Yeah,
Speaker 11: yet twenty twenty four, amazing, twenty twenty five, amazing photo finish,
Speaker 11: twenty twenty six. They're gonna be different variables along the way,
Speaker 11: and you've got to figure out how to get through those.
Speaker 11: And I think it's just this group being creative. They're
Speaker 11: going to have fun with it. You see it with
Speaker 11: some changes in the celebration. And I was listening to
Speaker 11: you on Dodger Talk one the other day saying, please
Speaker 11: get rid of that the kick, you know, kick kick
Speaker 11: the bad vibes out of there, which I completely understand.
Speaker 11: But I think it's just the fact that they're forward thinking, right,
Speaker 11: they're realizing, all right, we know things aren't going how
Speaker 11: we want them to go. Let's get creative on ways
Speaker 11: to stay in the moment. Let's do our best to
Speaker 11: have fun. But I think most importantly to be honest,
Speaker 11: it's call a spade has paid and they realize things
Speaker 11: aren't going how they want them to go right now.
Speaker 11: But every day we see the work they put in
Speaker 11: out here on the field. We see the work in
Speaker 11: the clubhouse and in the cage or in the weight room.
Speaker 11: So no doubt in my mind the process will rise
Speaker 11: over the results and there'll be where they need to be.
Speaker 4: Just need to get a few people healthy, yeah.
Speaker 5: No doubt, and maybe do the Freddie Freeman, not the dance,
Speaker 5: but maybe simplify things.
Speaker 11: Seaball hit ball one hundred percent. Seaball hit ball helps.
Speaker 11: But no, the game is hard. The game is hard,
Speaker 11: and there's something to be said about being that last
Speaker 11: team standing back to back years, playing in the most games,
Speaker 11: managing pitching staffs and innings and all these things. Like again,
Speaker 11: there's so many variables of being that team that wins it.
Speaker 11: The first variable is nobody feels sorry for you at all. Right,
Speaker 11: so every day teams are getting enough to play against you,
Speaker 11: and that's what you want to have happen. But again,
Speaker 11: you just got to be creative, got to be open
Speaker 11: minded and realize that it's not always going to be
Speaker 11: how we got here. How we won the first one
Speaker 11: might be a little different in the second one. How
Speaker 11: we win that third one might look a little different,
Speaker 11: But you just find a way to do it and
Speaker 11: trust the people you have in the room.
Speaker 5: Love it, team player. Jason Hayward, Thanks a lot and congratulations.
Speaker 4: Thank you very much, Bro, good to be with you there.
Speaker 5: He is the man, Jason Hayward, a new special assistant
Speaker 5: with the Dodgers. They are better for it. We'll send
Speaker 5: it back to you in the studio.
Speaker 6: Tim, all right, thanks a lot of DV. Great to
Speaker 6: hear from Jason Haywards. We lead you out to first
Speaker 6: pitch Dodgers and Giants on this Wednesday night. Next we'll
Speaker 6: dive deep into this pitching matchup. Don't you go anywhere.
Speaker 6: I'm Tim Kates is the back to back World Series
Speaker 6: champion Dodgers audio.
Speaker 1: Know well.
Speaker 3: This this Morongo Cassino Dodgers hunting game on your home
Speaker 3: for La Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 4: Leaning up to.
Speaker 6: Dodgers and the Giants on this beautiful Wednesday night here
Speaker 6: in southern California. Getting ready for first pitch at Uniclofield
Speaker 6: at Dodger Stadium, coming up at seven ten.
Speaker 3: And now before the Dodgers hit the dining we look
Speaker 3: at the pitching matchup.
Speaker 6: Brought to you by your Toyota Dealers. We make it easy.
Speaker 6: Robbie Ray on the mound for the Giants three and four,
Speaker 6: two seventy six e thirty four year old leftander. Thirteen
Speaker 6: season in the Big League's fifth different team, won a
Speaker 6: SAT Young a Ward back in twenty twenty one. Dodgers
Speaker 6: have seen him a ton of times, of course, he's
Speaker 6: spent all those years with the Arizona Diamondbacks. Now in
Speaker 6: his third season in San Francisco, making his ninth start
Speaker 6: this year, and he's pitched at least five innings and
Speaker 6: allowed three or few runs in all eight starts so far.
Speaker 6: This season's pretty good. Last time out, six innings, one run,
Speaker 6: four hit, seven strikeouts, four walks in a win over
Speaker 6: the Pittsburgh Pirates. He's facing the Dodgers again for the
Speaker 6: twenty sixth time in his career, his most against any opponent.
Speaker 6: He is nine and eight with a three seventy four ERA,
Speaker 6: one hundred and eighty nine strikeouts and a Battian average
Speaker 6: against a two to oh five in those twenty five
Speaker 6: career starts. Coming into tonight, Robbie Ray has thrown very
Speaker 6: well at Dodger Stadium over his career, four in three
Speaker 6: with a two sixty seven ERA and a one sixty
Speaker 6: opposing battiing average. So it's Robbie Ray against show hay Otani,
Speaker 6: who is two and two with a sub one ERA.
Speaker 6: The only thing he hasn't won is a Cy Young
Speaker 6: Award here in the National League. A thirty one year
Speaker 6: old right hander, ninth season in the Big Leagues, third
Speaker 6: with the Dodgers, making his seven start this year. In
Speaker 6: all six show Hey starts, he has gone at least
Speaker 6: six innings. In fact, last time out he went seven innings.
Speaker 6: He allowed two runs on four hits, eight strikeouts, zero walks,
Speaker 6: good enough to get a win, but he didn't. He
Speaker 6: got the loss last Tuesday in Houston again ste astros
Speaker 6: show Hey Otani has made four starts against the Giants,
Speaker 6: one to zero with a sub one ER, twenty four
Speaker 6: strikeouts and only six walks. He last faced the Giants
Speaker 6: April twenty second up in San Francisco. He tossed six
Speaker 6: scoreless Indians, give it up just five hit, striking out
Speaker 6: seven in a no decision. Great pitching matchup show Hey Otani,
Speaker 6: Robbie Ray, Dodgers Giants. We're fifteen minutes away for first pitch,
Speaker 6: Keys in the game. Our next. I'm Tim kateson the
Speaker 6: back to back World Series Champion Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 3: This is Morongo Casino, Dodgers on deap on your home
Speaker 3: for the Blue all season long long.
Speaker 6: Dodgers and Giants going at it, Game three of the
Speaker 6: four games set from the Ravine Show. Heytani, Robbie Ray.
Speaker 6: The pitching matchup as we get you ready for the
Speaker 6: start of the game with a Sapporo start a great
Speaker 6: moment start with Sapporo beer, whatever your taste preference. Sapporo
Speaker 6: has you covered with the variety of crisp and refreshing loggers,
Speaker 6: including the light and non alcoholic beer. Sapporo Good Wiz
Speaker 6: sushi great with baseball. All right, we have back out
Speaker 6: to the booth one final time before first pitch. Steven Nelson,
Speaker 6: Rick Monday.
Speaker 2: Guess, thanks so much, TC. First pitch is approaching quickly
Speaker 2: here at Unicolefield at Dodgers Stadium show. Hey, old Tony
Speaker 2: will throw that pitch. She'll be starting opposite Robbie Ray,
Speaker 2: the veteran left handed the Dodgers have seen a ton
Speaker 2: throughout his career. So Maul, give me a player or
Speaker 2: a key that you are watching for tonight.
Speaker 7: I think with Robbie Ray, we'll start with this one.
Speaker 7: On the road, he has not been as effective as
Speaker 7: he has at home. At home a one nine one
Speaker 7: ERA on the road over four, and he has had
Speaker 7: success this year when he gets hitters to go ahead
Speaker 7: and chase that elevated fastball. The Dodgers have to set
Speaker 7: the limit. What's the top of the striketh zone? Do
Speaker 7: not expand it against Robbie Ray.
Speaker 2: So for Ray, he has been one of the best
Speaker 2: in the league at limiting hits. But of the hits
Speaker 2: he's giving up, a good chunk are home runs.
Speaker 1: Now that's.
Speaker 2: Not take into account the offensive struggle. The Dodgers have
Speaker 2: experience a fleet.
Speaker 7: Yeah, and there's no question about it. But he's allowed
Speaker 7: low banning average against is just under two hundred. Speaking
Speaker 7: of low batting average against, I'm about show hey Otani
Speaker 7: a one sixty average and as you were alluding to,
Speaker 7: an ERA of zero point nine to seven.
Speaker 4: Just stay aggressive, my man. Keep challenging hitters, and that's
Speaker 4: been his success. Can't wait to see what.
Speaker 2: He brings tonight on the mound. The Dodgers need him
Speaker 2: to produce a win to get on the board in
Speaker 2: this series.
Speaker 6: Tim, all right, thank you, Nelly, thank you Mom. As
Speaker 6: we get ready for first pitch. Now, don't forget David's
Speaker 6: got your cover. With all the postgame festivities, recap highlights,
Speaker 6: all the postgame reaction from the clubhouse, and of course
Speaker 6: Dodger talk as well. Show hey Otani on the mound,
Speaker 6: will we come back? Dodgers and Giants? Enjoy everybody. I'm
