Speaker 1: For the back to back World Champions of Baseball.
Speaker 2: One of the greatest runs in the history of baseball.
Speaker 1: Immortality is within their reach.
Speaker 3: Incredible and while others make excuses.
Speaker 4: The only reason the Dodgers are doing this because they
Speaker 4: can they print money.
Speaker 1: The Dodgers just can't continue.
Speaker 5: It's not fair.
Speaker 1: Are making plans.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's a singular focus on controlling what they can control.
Speaker 1: Now your pregame host of the world champion La Dodgers, Tam.
Speaker 3: Catshi, everybody, and welcome in to Molrongo Casino Dodgers on
Speaker 3: Deck on this Monday night, May eleventh, as your Dodgers
Speaker 3: twenty four and sixteen on the season tie atop the
Speaker 3: NL West after dropping two of three to the Braves
Speaker 3: over the weekend. The Dodgers homestand continues with the start
Speaker 3: of a four game divisional series against their rivals from
Speaker 3: up north to San Francisco Giants. Tonight, Rookie Susaki on
Speaker 3: the mount in the series opener. First pitch from Uniclo
Speaker 3: Dodger Stadium, coming up at seven to ten.
Speaker 5: Coming up over the next hour here.
Speaker 3: On Morongo Casino Dodgers on Deck live from the Ravine.
Speaker 5: You're gonna hear from the manager Dave.
Speaker 3: Roberts coming up in about forty five minutes as he
Speaker 3: goes high and tight with David Vassay, we'll dive deeper
Speaker 3: into this pitching matchupb We'll also hear for Max Munsey,
Speaker 3: who had a big home run yesterday. We got your
Speaker 3: Dodgers magical moment. Shortly we'll visit with Kirsten Watson from
Speaker 3: Sports and at LA and in just a few minutes
Speaker 3: we will head over to Charlie Steiner and Rick Monday
Speaker 3: in the Galloping Ford Broadcast booth. Well, yesterday, the Dodgers
Speaker 3: ran into an Elder statesman literally as the Braves beat
Speaker 3: the Blue. Bryce Elder, the young right hander for the Braves,
Speaker 3: limited the Dodgers offense five and a third shutout innings.
Speaker 5: He struck out eight along the way while giving him
Speaker 5: just one hit.
Speaker 3: The Dodgers just didn't have a lot of traffic on
Speaker 3: the basis yesterday against Elder, despite a couple of walks. Meanwhile,
Speaker 3: justin Robuski, he was in and out of trouble. In
Speaker 3: the second the Braves got after him, White and RBI
Speaker 3: single got Atlanta on the board one to nothing. Next batter,
Speaker 3: Sean Murphy had a comebacker to Robleski. However, instead of
Speaker 3: a four to six or one six to three double
Speaker 3: play to get out of the inning, Robleski's throat was high.
Speaker 3: He only got the force out at second. Robleski then
Speaker 3: walks the next batter. Bases loaded for Mauricio Duban.
Speaker 7: Braves with a one nothing lead.
Speaker 2: One one pitch to Dubal and that smack past the
Speaker 2: diving Muncieing down the third baseline, Harris comes into score.
Speaker 2: Here comes White behind him, and they're gonna wave home Matteo.
Speaker 2: It's a basis clearing double and the Braves lead it
Speaker 2: for nothing.
Speaker 3: Basis clearing double for the Braves, shorts off Atlanta with
Speaker 3: four run to the top of the second. Robleski would
Speaker 3: settle in, though navigate his way to the eighth when
Speaker 3: Drake Baldwin took him deep for a solo home run.
Speaker 3: Braves of five to nothing mean while the Dodgers offense
Speaker 3: couldn't muster anything until the sixth, and finally they got
Speaker 3: something going. They loaded the bases but could not score.
Speaker 3: The seventh, they had runners on first and second and
Speaker 3: could not score. But in the bottom of the eighth inning,
Speaker 3: the Dodgers finally burst through. They got on the board
Speaker 3: thanks to Max Monsey.
Speaker 7: Here's the pitch.
Speaker 2: Two Monthly Wins hits a drive deep right field, way back,
Speaker 2: it goes, it is gone, a two run homer for
Speaker 2: Max Mounsey and it's five to two.
Speaker 7: Well, he didn't wait a round. He's got a slider
Speaker 7: right over the middle of the plate and he crushed
Speaker 7: bit for his tenh home run of the season.
Speaker 5: Two run home run for Monthsy.
Speaker 3: That's the top tier play of the game, brought to
Speaker 3: you by Arco Quality, top tier gas for less. Dodgers
Speaker 3: down five to two, they'd get In fact, the Braves.
Speaker 5: Would take more in the ninth battles.
Speaker 3: The solo home run than an RBI single from the
Speaker 3: Braves made it seven to two. Braves go on and
Speaker 3: win it by that same final score. Bryce Elder gets
Speaker 3: to win Justin. Robleski pitched well win eight and two
Speaker 3: third innings, gave up seven runs though in the lost.
Speaker 3: Dodgers dropped two of three to Atlanta over the weekend.
Speaker 3: They fall to twenty four and sixteen on this season.
Speaker 3: They fall into a first place tie with the Padres
Speaker 3: atop the NL West. Tonight, a new day, a new
Speaker 3: series as the San Francisco Giants are in town. Roki
Speaker 3: Sisaki on the mound, Mookie Betts back off the injured list.
Speaker 3: Dodgers feeling good going into this series.
Speaker 5: First pitch is.
Speaker 3: Seven to ten and with more we head over to
Speaker 3: the galloping Ford broadcast booth as we welcome in Charlie
Speaker 3: Steiner and Rick Monday.
Speaker 5: Guys.
Speaker 8: All right, Tim, we're at the quarter pole of the season.
Speaker 8: Dodgers at twenty four and sixteen todds, first place with
Speaker 8: the Padres padres idle. Tonight they begin a series in
Speaker 8: Milwaukee tomorrow. Yeah, the Dodgers, since they're fifteen and four
Speaker 8: start mow, have gone nine of twelve. They've scored three
Speaker 8: runs or fewer in twelve of those twenty one games.
Speaker 8: The case of the missing offense against the Giant team
Speaker 8: that has no offense at all.
Speaker 9: Yeah, the Giants come in the third worst record of
Speaker 9: Major Baseball, and if you look at the last three
Speaker 9: games played against the Atlanta Brings, the Dodgers had a
Speaker 9: total of just seven runs, only thirteen hits in that
Speaker 9: period of time. That's got to turn around. And they
Speaker 9: had been struggling try and get on base the bullpen
Speaker 9: has been terrific, the starting pitching has been here and there,
Speaker 9: and hopefully they're going to get a good performance tonight
Speaker 9: by Roki Sasaki, who will start for the Dodgers in
Speaker 9: Game one of the series against the Giants. Bit runs
Speaker 9: have been problematic as far as on the board for
Speaker 9: this Dodger bunk club.
Speaker 8: Oh, the Dodgers, at least looking at the schedule, have
Speaker 8: four with the Giants and then three down in Anaheim.
Speaker 8: So you've got seven games against two teams that are
Speaker 8: bad San Francisco sixteen and twenty four, the Angels sixteen
Speaker 8: and twenty five, and so the competitions for the Dodgers
Speaker 8: over the next week, it's a combined record of thirty
Speaker 8: two and forty nine tied to fatten up.
Speaker 9: Yeah, at least on paper, that's true. And how well
Speaker 9: the of the Giants hit tonight we were going to
Speaker 9: find out. But they've been on the losing ledger nine
Speaker 9: or the last twelve. If you look at what they've
Speaker 9: done on the road, they've dropped seven in a row
Speaker 9: into the lost column. When they've been on the road itself,
Speaker 9: they had not scored a lot of runs on the
Speaker 9: road at recent times as well. But one thing about it,
Speaker 9: when you come again to play the back to back
Speaker 9: world champion Dodgers, the world champions to begin with, regardless
Speaker 9: of the team, you're going to be up for it.
Speaker 9: And these two organizations have a long history of playing
Speaker 9: against one another.
Speaker 8: Yes, indeed, and the Dodgers big story tonight as they
Speaker 8: begin playing four game series with the Giants.
Speaker 7: The return of Mookie Betts.
Speaker 9: Yeah, and it's going to be nice to have Bookie.
Speaker 9: He'll be at shortstop and batting in the number two spot.
Speaker 9: Last play in April fourth and he was a couple
Speaker 9: of home run seven RBIs before the oblique put him
Speaker 9: on the injured list.
Speaker 7: He came back.
Speaker 9: Just watching him work out early this afternoon appeared to
Speaker 9: be just fine. We're going to find out may take
Speaker 9: him a couple of days to kind of get back
Speaker 9: into it. Speaking of a couple of days, he's scheduled
Speaker 9: to play tonight and tomorrow and then get Wednesday off.
Speaker 9: At least that's the plan at the present time.
Speaker 7: Coming back in the Oak League.
Speaker 8: To make room for Mooki on the roster, Alex Freeland
Speaker 8: was sent out to Triple A, and so it is
Speaker 8: Trevor McDonald going for the Giants tonight against Roki Sasaki.
Speaker 8: Sasaki looking to turn things around. We'll have a lot
Speaker 8: more to go between now and the very first pitch.
Speaker 3: Dem all right, thank you, Charlie's been culling you down
Speaker 3: to first pitch. Dodger fans, get that game day meal
Speaker 3: on at Shakey's Pizza Parlor or your Shaky's Pizza chackin
Speaker 3: and Mojo's right now at Shaky's dot Com.
Speaker 5: Coming up here on.
Speaker 3: Wrongo Casino Dodgers on deck, you're gonna hear from Max Muncie.
Speaker 3: David Vazei checks in throughout the hour. He'll go high
Speaker 3: and tie with the manager, Dave Roberts.
Speaker 5: What up next?
Speaker 3: Your Otani rewind and we'll visit with Kirsten Watson from
Speaker 3: sports and at LA. That's all coming up as we
Speaker 3: lead you up to Dodgers and Giants on this Monday
Speaker 3: night first pitch of seven ten. They should be in
Speaker 3: with us. I'm Tim Kats's the back to back World
Speaker 3: Series champion Dodgers audio nowhere.
Speaker 1: This is Marongo Casino, Oh, Dodgers hunting on your home
Speaker 1: for LA Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 3: It's the Dodgers and Giants, says, we lead you up
Speaker 3: the first pitch from Dodger Stadium. Rookie Sasaki Trevor McDonald
Speaker 3: the pitching matchup. First pitch coming up at seven ten.
Speaker 1: This is the Otani rewyd Well.
Speaker 3: The Dodgers yesterday, including showey Otani, were quiet for the
Speaker 3: first seven.
Speaker 5: Innings until Max Mounsey's to run home run.
Speaker 3: That was it as far as offense yesterday, as shoey
Speaker 3: O'tani and the Dodgers lost seven to two. Showy Otani
Speaker 3: slumping a little bit right now? How much so well?
Speaker 3: Showey Otani doesn't very often take bounding practice on the field.
Speaker 3: Forty five minutes ago, he took four rounds of each
Speaker 3: beat here at Dodger Stadium, put on a show for
Speaker 3: the Dodger Stadium crowd.
Speaker 1: This is Kirston's corner with Kirston Watson.
Speaker 3: Hey, Kirston now joins us hit We're brought to you
Speaker 3: my Cars for Kids, the easiest way to get rid
Speaker 3: of your old car. Donate it today, your car could
Speaker 3: be picked up tomorrow.
Speaker 5: That easy. Donate now with carsfo Kids dot Org.
Speaker 3: That's cars with the k As the home stand continues
Speaker 3: after the Dodgers drop two of.
Speaker 5: Three to the Atlanta Braves.
Speaker 3: Now a four game set against the last place San
Speaker 3: Francisco Giants. But the right guy back in the lineup,
Speaker 3: Mookie Bets is back.
Speaker 10: He is back, and he brings you know, he's a
Speaker 10: superstar in his own right, and so naturally he's going
Speaker 10: to bring a spark. But when this team, in this
Speaker 10: offense is looking to really get go right now, you
Speaker 10: have to take into consideration with his return. This is
Speaker 10: the first time the team is back to full strength
Speaker 10: since the at the beginning of the regular season. The
Speaker 10: last game he played in was Game eight. So for
Speaker 10: his return, yes, they are going to be very mindful
Speaker 10: that he's coming off that right oblique strain. While Lukey
Speaker 10: says that he is in an excellent position and he
Speaker 10: feels like he checked off every box and it's a
Speaker 10: muscular injury, so it takes a little bit more time.
Speaker 10: He needed the four weeks plus honestly to make that return,
Speaker 10: but he feels good. But Dave Roberts has been clear that,
Speaker 10: especially in these first two series, he's gonna play these
Speaker 10: first two then be off on Wednesday. Migie will step
Speaker 10: in at short and then he's going to play Game
Speaker 10: four of this series, but then if you look at
Speaker 10: the next one, he'll likely only do two of three.
Speaker 10: To continue to manage that especially early.
Speaker 3: Dodgers had to make a decision with the roster too,
Speaker 3: with Mookie Betts coming off the injury list, somebody had
Speaker 3: to go back to Triple A Oklahoma City, and that
Speaker 3: was Alex Freeland.
Speaker 10: It was, and Dave's shared he was very honest with
Speaker 10: us that he was a challenging conversation. Alex Freeland has
Speaker 10: worked very hard. We obviously know he was the guy
Speaker 10: who broke camp with this team and won the opportunity
Speaker 10: and the position coming out of spring training. But ultimately
Speaker 10: Hessong has been the better performer as of late. The
Speaker 10: numbers show that, and he's playing at second this evening.
Speaker 10: He is going to step in and get some runway there.
Speaker 10: Dave did say that they are likely going to stick
Speaker 10: with the platoon that we saw for him between him
Speaker 10: and Miggi when they were playing at short, but as
Speaker 10: they're easing Mookie Betts back in, Miggy will primarily be
Speaker 10: supporting Mooki, allowing for Hassong just to kind of get
Speaker 10: that runway.
Speaker 3: Looking at this Dodgers lineup, they struggled in two of
Speaker 3: the three games against the Atlanta Braves. Joie can influx
Speaker 3: a little bit of life, I guess into this offense.
Speaker 3: It's dead so much that we saw showy Otani out here.
Speaker 5: Taking VP and this is the second time within a week.
Speaker 10: I mean, we know that whenever he takes batting practice
Speaker 10: that means he's working through something.
Speaker 1: We saw it in Houston today.
Speaker 10: He took four rounds a VP, which feels like a
Speaker 10: lot if I'm being honest, I think as we saw
Speaker 10: kind of the back end of the work, we saw
Speaker 10: some more consistent home run, some more hard contact and power.
Speaker 10: But it is clear, like even we noticed that when
Speaker 10: he started in that first round his batting position he
Speaker 10: had it rested, his bat resting on his shoulder, on
Speaker 10: his back shoulder, and that was something we had never
Speaker 10: And I say week because I'm with Oral Herscheizer and
Speaker 10: our statistician Rick Krajewski and we're all watching and we
Speaker 10: were like, we've never seen him hold the bat like that.
Speaker 10: So it's clear that he's looking to work through kind
Speaker 10: of getting his feel. The last time he was working
Speaker 10: on more of his upper half. In regard to how
Speaker 10: he's positioning himself. So hopefully he found something and hopefully
Speaker 10: we'll see it play out tonight.
Speaker 3: Let's hope he gets back on track tonight. It's been
Speaker 3: a long time since we can show aotani go deep
Speaker 3: here at Dodgers.
Speaker 5: Dam and thank you curious and well.
Speaker 3: Check in with you after the game still to come
Speaker 3: here on Marongo Casino Dodgers on Deck. We'll hear from
Speaker 3: the manager himself, Dave Roberts. Will also check in with
Speaker 3: Max Bunksy. But up next we'll get.

Speaker 3: It's the Dodgers and the Giants on this Monday night,
Speaker 3: first pitch at seven ten. I'm Tim Kaison at the
Speaker 3: back to back World Series Champion Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 1: This is Marongo Casino Dodgers on Deck on your home
Speaker 1: for the Blue All Season Law.
Speaker 3: Marongo Casino Dodgers on Deck continues as we lead you
Speaker 3: out to first bitch from the stadium on this Monday
Speaker 3: night Marongo Casino Resort and Spa a Grand Slam for
Speaker 3: good times. It's the Dodgers and the Giants, the first
Speaker 3: of four Rookie Sasaki and Trevor McDonald the pitching matchup
Speaker 3: in the series.
Speaker 5: Opener, first pitch, set, first seven ten.
Speaker 1: It's the LA Dodgers Injury.
Speaker 3: Presented by UCLA Healthy Official Medical partner of the Los
Speaker 3: Angeles Dodgers. Tyler Glass now on the IL with the
Speaker 3: lower back spasms. Brock Stewart back on the injured list
Speaker 3: with the left bone spur Edwin Diaz on the IL
Speaker 3: recovering from elbow surgery. He helps me back sometime after
Speaker 3: the All Star break. Ben Casparius on the IL with
Speaker 3: the right shoulder inflammation. Mookie Betts back off the IL.
Speaker 5: That is certainly good news.
Speaker 3: Tommy Edmonds saw him taking some batting practice earlier today,
Speaker 3: doing some throwing in long distance. He is doing a
Speaker 3: lot of baseball activities, but currently on the sixty day
Speaker 3: IL as he makes his way back from off season
Speaker 3: ankle surgery. Bruce dark gratterols in Triple A Oklahoma City
Speaker 3: on a minor league rehabit. Simon Keiky Hernandez in Triple
Speaker 3: A as well.
Speaker 5: He's due off the IL late in this month.
Speaker 3: Landing that Gavin Stone Evan Phillips all working their way
Speaker 3: back from arm injuries. All right, we headed back downstairs.
Speaker 3: As yesterday. Max Munsey provided the only offense for the Dodgers,
Speaker 3: and I've been to two loss to the Atlanta Braves.
Speaker 5: Dodgers dropped two or three over the weekend.
Speaker 3: Max Bunci almost hit a Grand Slam yesterday, would have
Speaker 3: made things interesting in the late in the game, but
Speaker 3: ended up hitting a two run home running afterwards, talked
Speaker 3: about the loss.
Speaker 11: Yeah, I just think it's a rough stretch for us.
Speaker 12: You know, obviously we're are facing tough pitching and they're
Speaker 12: making pitches. But I think for us as a group,
Speaker 12: we're just going through a rough stretch.
Speaker 11: And you know, that's part of baseball.
Speaker 12: And you know, we had some guys hitting balls hard,
Speaker 12: and we had some guys hitting the balls often, none
Speaker 12: of them team fall.
Speaker 11: That's just kind of how the game goes sometimes. Is
Speaker 11: that what it felt like?
Speaker 10: Just in that at that before the home run with
Speaker 10: the line out to right field, does it seem like
Speaker 10: it felt like that moment was going to be yours?
Speaker 12: I mean, I kind of felt that way all weekend,
Speaker 12: with the exception of Sale, which I'm not supposed to
Speaker 12: feel that way off him. I mean, and I hit
Speaker 12: what four or five balls one hundred and five or harder,
Speaker 12: and none of them were hits so it's just it's
Speaker 12: just how baseball goes. It's it's a really tough sport
Speaker 12: and you know, you can square a ball up and
Speaker 12: you can go right at somebody. It's just just part
Speaker 12: of it, just for the offense where doesn't feel like
Speaker 12: it's like one cohesive you what do you think of
Speaker 12: plays into that?
Speaker 11: Is that sort of approach.
Speaker 6: Things that just sort of guys filing out their swings
Speaker 6: or what kind of leads to that.
Speaker 12: Yes, No, I mean I think we have some guys
Speaker 12: that aren't in the spot that they want to be
Speaker 12: in right now, and they're trying to figure that out.
Speaker 12: And uh, you know, it's kind of tough to compete
Speaker 12: when you're trying to figure things out.
Speaker 11: And you know.
Speaker 12: We've we've preached that in the past sometimes that you
Speaker 12: got to just forget about everything you're doing off the
Speaker 12: field and when you get in the batter's box you
Speaker 12: just have to compete. And you know, that's probably something
Speaker 12: we're gonna harp on a little bit again right now
Speaker 12: because there are a lot of guys trying to just
Speaker 12: find some mechanics and it's it's hard to hit when
Speaker 12: you're doing that.
Speaker 3: All right, There's Max a bunch, So yeah, frustrating for
Speaker 3: all the Dodger hitters with the offense collectively not clicking
Speaker 3: right now, but you know, one, two, three, all of
Speaker 3: a sudden, these guys are going to turn things around,
Speaker 3: maybe all at once, and look out when these guys
Speaker 3: get back on track. Well, we continue here on Wrongo
Speaker 3: Continio do Wrongo Casino.
Speaker 5: Dodgers on Deck. We will check in with David Vassa.
Speaker 3: That's right as we lead j up to first pitch
Speaker 3: Dodgers and Giants from Uniclo Field to Dodger Stadium. I'm
Speaker 3: Tim Kates's the back to back World Series champion Dodgers

Speaker 7: Guys, we were saying.
Speaker 1: This is Marongo Casino Dodgers on Tech on the official
Speaker 1: home of La Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 3: Dodgers and Giants Rookie Sasaki on the Mount Dodgers Baseball
Speaker 3: brought to by Alopato, born in La and made for
Speaker 3: your game to Alapato brings authentic Mexican style tomato, sauces,
Speaker 3: sauces and hot sauces right to your plate, al Pato
Speaker 3: Gourmet and a can.
Speaker 1: Joining Tim Kats on Dodgers on Deck.
Speaker 6: I accept everybody for who they are.
Speaker 1: This is Dodger insider David Basse.
Speaker 3: All right, d I don't know if it was just me,
Speaker 3: but it seemed like a little pep in the step
Speaker 3: of the Dodgers today because Mookie bects his back.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you get one of the best players in baseball
Speaker 6: back tonight. He'll be starting at short stop and hitting second.
Speaker 6: We had a chance to catch up with Mookie earlier
Speaker 6: today and the Dodger dug out at about three o'clock
Speaker 6: this afternoon. Here's some of the things that we talked
Speaker 6: about Mookie in Toronto. You thought this wouldn't keep you
Speaker 6: out as long as it did. Did you ever have
Speaker 6: any setbacks trying to push it? Was that part of
Speaker 6: the reason why this took longer than you originally anticipated.
Speaker 11: No, I just.
Speaker 4: Didn't really realize how long it takes to for it
Speaker 4: to really heal.
Speaker 11: You know.
Speaker 4: I felt pretty good, pretty fast, actually, but just some
Speaker 4: of the movements that I couldn't do, just the it
Speaker 4: kind of just lingered for a long time, and I
Speaker 4: was trying to hurry. But obviously doctors are like it.
Speaker 4: It just takes a month for it to just heal,
Speaker 4: and then you have to do all your prep to
Speaker 4: to get back to playing, So you can't really rush
Speaker 4: rush time.
Speaker 6: When you look at the team and the offense the
Speaker 6: last three weeks. When you come back in a situation
Speaker 6: like this after not playing for a month, do you
Speaker 6: have to fight against trying to do too much and
Speaker 6: you know, trying to be the hero to save things.
Speaker 4: No, because I know I'm not the hero.
Speaker 11: It's gonna take us all and so.
Speaker 5: You know, it kind of is what it is.
Speaker 4: We're gonna go throw ups in our downs, but it's
Speaker 4: important for everyone to know that it's going to take
Speaker 4: all of us and not just one guy, you know,
Speaker 4: getting through their struggles or whatever it is.
Speaker 6: That's a great message from Mookie Bets right there at
Speaker 6: the end, Tim, because it feels like the Dodger lineup
Speaker 6: has been very disconnected. Everybody worried about their own struggles
Speaker 6: and it just seems like it's not one connected change.
Speaker 6: So hopefully Mookie coming back and being part of this
Speaker 6: team for the last seven seasons will remind the Dodgers
Speaker 6: of all that David is.
Speaker 3: Brought to about the Ford Maverick motor trends in North
Speaker 3: American Truck of the Year, the Ford Maverick Everything you
Speaker 3: need and the most innovative truck with forty two miles
Speaker 3: per down of the best MSRB.
Speaker 5: If it's category, it's time to see Ford in a
Speaker 5: new light. Go to your Southern California four dealers today.
Speaker 3: You mentioned the offensive struggles and it starts at the top,
Speaker 3: Dave with number seventeen.
Speaker 5: Show Hal Tani.
Speaker 13: Yeah, show Hal Tani.
Speaker 6: One home run in his last one hundred and two
Speaker 6: plate appearances in his last fifteen games, he's sitting under
Speaker 6: two hundred is on base. More importantly, is just about
Speaker 6: three hundred as the leadoff hitter. No matter if you're
Speaker 6: show Hao Tani or if your player X on another team,
Speaker 6: you're the catalyst.
Speaker 13: You're the catalyst of the offense.
Speaker 6: You make it go and show Hao Tani has done
Speaker 6: that for the Dodgers in a big way the last
Speaker 6: two years. And he's in a slump that we haven't
Speaker 6: seen in a Dodger uniform. But the one thing that,
Speaker 6: like Mooki said, you can't just worry about yourself and
Speaker 6: your struggles. You got to do what's right in that moment,
Speaker 6: in that at bat for the team, whether it's Otani,
Speaker 6: whether it's ta Oscar Hernandez, whether it's Kyle Tucker. There's
Speaker 6: a lot of names out there tim that right now
Speaker 6: are not going well, not named sho Hao Tani and Otani.
Speaker 6: Earlier today, I'm not sure if you caught this from
Speaker 6: the suite, but he did take batting practice as part
Speaker 6: of the last group with ta Oscar Hernandez and he
Speaker 6: was inning balls afar away and it's only the second
Speaker 6: time that he has done.
Speaker 13: That this season.
Speaker 6: So we'll see whether or not that translates in the
Speaker 6: game tonight, real quick.
Speaker 3: Dave Rokie tonight, what are the expectations for him?
Speaker 6: Well, if you remember in his last start, the first
Speaker 6: three innings were very Rokie likes scared a pitch to contact,
Speaker 6: but the final three innings to allow him to get
Speaker 6: through six was him retiring the last ten Cardinals in
Speaker 6: Saint Louis and attacking the strike zone. He's got to
Speaker 6: do that from the very beginning and not pitch scared,
Speaker 6: and if he does that, he'll be able to save
Speaker 6: this Dodger bullpen and go at least five or six
Speaker 6: innings tonight.
Speaker 3: All right, David Gray stuff will check back in with
Speaker 3: the DV in just a little bit. He goes one
Speaker 3: on one with the manager Dave Roberts up next, so
Speaker 3: we'll get you your Dodgers Magical Moment. Don't go anywhere
Speaker 3: to leads you up to Dodgers and Giants on this
Speaker 3: Monday night.

Speaker 3: September nineteenth, last year, here at the stadium, Clayton Kershaw
Speaker 3: on the mound. His final career starts at Dodgers Stadium,
Speaker 3: ends as it should with the strikeout from the future
Speaker 3: Hall of Famer.
Speaker 7: But the way that Clayton Kershaw has elected to go out.
Speaker 7: He has kind of beaten one of the biggest opponents.
Speaker 2: Strike three called and Devers goes down. Look in six
Speaker 2: strikeouts for Kershaw, that one killing on a fastball. Kersshaw
Speaker 2: wanting to handle the baseball. Dave says, no, you keep it.
Speaker 2: They are hugging on the.
Speaker 1: Side of the mound.
Speaker 2: Kershaw walks off the mound as a starter in the
Speaker 2: regular season for.
Speaker 1: The final time.
Speaker 7: Everybody on their feet at Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 2: Kershaw waving to the crowd, waiting to his family, taking
Speaker 2: their signal, hug hugging his family, going at kiss now
Speaker 2: toffing his cap to the entire crowd.
Speaker 3: Clayton Kershaw strikes out of Raffyol Dever's in the fifth
Speaker 3: inn last September. Kershaw would exit the game after that strikeout.
Speaker 3: Four to third innings, two runs, four hits, six punch
Speaker 3: outs in his last regular season start at Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 3: It'safie magical moment brought to by Hofey Hot Dogs, So
Speaker 3: Cow's local treasure for nearly one hundred years.
Speaker 5: Hoffey hot Dogs local and so great.
Speaker 3: When we continue here on Morongo Casino, Dodgers on deck
Speaker 3: will here for Rick Monday don't forget. We're gonna hear
Speaker 3: for the manager Dave Roberts coming up at about ten minutes.
Speaker 3: It's all leading up to Dodgers and Giants on this
Speaker 3: Monday night. I'm Tim Katson, the back to back World
Speaker 3: Series Champion Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 1: This is Marongo Casino Dodgers on deck on your home
Speaker 1: for the blue all season Law.
Speaker 3: Leaning up to Dodgers and Giants on this beautiful, warm
Speaker 3: Monday night here in southern California. Rookie Sazaki, Trevor McDonald
Speaker 3: the bitching matchup. First pitch coming up at seven ten time.
Speaker 3: Now for the Verizon startup, as we are thirty five
Speaker 3: minutes away from the start of the game. Now at
Speaker 3: Verizon you can lock in your low price for three years.
Speaker 5: So you can save big. Visit your so Cal for
Speaker 5: Rice in store today.
Speaker 1: And now joined by David Basseying. Here's La Dodgers broadcaster
Speaker 1: and World Series champion Dodger Rick Monday.
Speaker 6: Rick, we saw a rare site earlier this afternoon. Well,
Speaker 6: bat there were two yesterday, but sho Hel Tani taking
Speaker 6: batting practice and he looked good.
Speaker 13: At five o'clock, Rick, Let's see what happens tonight.
Speaker 9: Well, you know, I think you have to approach it
Speaker 9: from a standpoint. Is it from a hitter's You're only
Speaker 9: one a bat away from starting the longest hitting streak
Speaker 9: of your career, and that's from a positive standpoint. That's
Speaker 9: what you have to have, and the Dodgers need to
Speaker 9: get that into gear, not just with Sho Heo Tani
Speaker 9: but everybody else. And welcome back to Mookie Bench, who
Speaker 9: missed thirty two games with the of the oblique issue.
Speaker 9: So he's in there, so I work out earlier today,
Speaker 9: bad shortstop.
Speaker 7: He's raring to go.
Speaker 9: The Dodgers are happy to have him in the lineup,
Speaker 9: and so on Kim. He is going to be at
Speaker 9: Sanca Bay's as they made room in that rock, as
Speaker 9: Vince gets activated. Alex Freeland, who I think from his
Speaker 9: own admission we say he'd like to have gotten off
Speaker 9: to a better start, doesn't mean he's not going to
Speaker 9: be back soon. We'll find out what's happening. So it
Speaker 9: opens up the door for huss On Kim to maybe say, hey,
Speaker 9: look I'm going to play second base for a number
Speaker 9: of days now I have a chance to do that,
Speaker 9: especially against right handed pitching. So it's an opportunity for him.
Speaker 6: You know, I pushed the limits with players all the time, Rick,
Speaker 6: So when I.
Speaker 9: Saw you push the limits with just about everyone, David.
Speaker 13: Well, that did not stop with Kim. I said, hey, Kim,
Speaker 13: you're still here. Congratulations.
Speaker 7: What was his reaction?
Speaker 13: He laughed and walk right by me. It was a
Speaker 13: courtesy laughed.
Speaker 9: I thought he was going to try to tell you.
Speaker 9: So I don't understand what you're saying in English, and
Speaker 9: sometimes you have to bury your head to say and
Speaker 9: to be able to do that. But the Dodgers, they've
Speaker 9: been challenged offensively of recent times. In fact, the last
Speaker 9: three games they've scored total just seven runs thirteen hits totals.
Speaker 9: On that end of it. One good thing the last
Speaker 9: couple of games, especially in that series against Atlanta, although
Speaker 9: they lost two out of three, they did not hit
Speaker 9: into a very large boatload of ground bowl double plays.
Speaker 9: You know, they had gone what was it, twelve double
Speaker 9: plays within eight games prior to the series against the
Speaker 9: Atlanta Breys took them out of two many innings.
Speaker 6: And Rick, when you talk about o'tawni, he's kind of
Speaker 6: shielding the fact that there are a few other Dodgers
Speaker 6: that are in a slump. And when you say double play,
Speaker 6: I think about Kyle Tucker, who's hitting the ball on
Speaker 6: the ground a lot more than I anticipated.
Speaker 9: My percentage high percentage of hitting the ball on the ground.
Speaker 9: My question is pitch selection. You know we're playing a
Speaker 9: club tonight. The San Francisco Giants, by their own emission,
Speaker 9: have not had a lot of pitches for a battle.
Speaker 9: They swing early, they swing often, and to this point
Speaker 9: it has not paid off. But we'll find out what
Speaker 9: happens in tonight's ball game. And for ro Kyo Sasaki,
Speaker 9: I think he just needs to challenge hitters. I watched
Speaker 9: him very closely, including today, and I brought this up
Speaker 9: to you when he was warming up in the outfield.
Speaker 9: He's very precise about good delivery, very precise about the mechanics. Well,
Speaker 9: if you're still having to think about the mechanics as
Speaker 9: you're throwing the baseball, it really takes away overall on
Speaker 9: your at least I think, in the effectiveness. And I
Speaker 9: think you've got to put the mechanics to the sign,
Speaker 9: go with what feels good right now, and challenge hitters.
Speaker 9: He went six in he's the last outing, but there's
Speaker 9: still room for improvement in there. As far as command
Speaker 9: of the strike zone, he did not throw a high
Speaker 9: percentage of strikes, nor has he in the last seven
Speaker 9: starts that he's been on the mound.
Speaker 6: Well, there's proof that baseball's a universal language because Japanese
Speaker 6: media relayed to me Rick that Roki Sasaki partaged in
Speaker 6: a short documentary and he says he feels like he's
Speaker 6: thinking too much when he's pitching. He said, it's like
Speaker 6: trying to relearn how to use chopsticks, and when you're
Speaker 6: thinking about how to use them and play them perfectly,
Speaker 6: you don't know how to use them correctly.
Speaker 9: You're not free and easy. It's very similar. And I
Speaker 9: don't know if it was Yogi Bear at the center
Speaker 9: or not. You can't think and hit at the same time.
Speaker 9: I can't think about him, and I talk about this
Speaker 9: with hitters. I can't worry about well, my right shoulder,
Speaker 9: my hips, my knee, where's my weight transfer?
Speaker 7: I can't do all of that. Well, the pitch is
Speaker 7: on his way.
Speaker 9: You've got to work on it to where it becomes
Speaker 9: secondary and no longer is a thought process. I don't
Speaker 9: think he's there yet. Hopefully, he's made strides for his
Speaker 9: last start.
Speaker 6: Well, that's how I try to live life, Rick, I
Speaker 6: don't try to think too much.
Speaker 7: Yes, get us evident.
Speaker 13: We'll send it back to you at the studio.
Speaker 5: Tim, all right, thanks a lot, guys.
Speaker 3: Dodgers Baseball's present of my Uniclow field at Dodgers Stadium
Speaker 3: is a Uniclow dot com slash us coming up here,
Speaker 3: all Morongo because you know, Dodgers on hung deck before
Speaker 3: first pitch, we'll dive deeper into this pitching matchup. Rookie
Speaker 3: Sasaki getting loose the left field before he gets into
Speaker 3: the bullpen to get even more warmed up. Charlie and
Speaker 3: Rick love the keys of the game. But up next
Speaker 3: we go high and tie with the manager himself, Dave Roberts.
Speaker 5: Don't you go anywhere.
Speaker 3: Dodgers and Giants coming up in seven ten.
Speaker 5: I'm Tim kas is the back.
Speaker 3: To back World Series champion Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 1: As we were saying, this is Marongo Casino Dodgers on
Speaker 1: Tick on the official home of La Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 3: It's the Dodgers and Giants on this Monday night, the
Speaker 3: first of four. Rookie Sasaki, Trevor McDonald, the Bitch, A matchup,
Speaker 3: First Bitch coming up at seven ten. Dodgers Baseball is
Speaker 3: brought to you by Shakey's Pizza Barler, the official pizza
Speaker 3: partner of the Dodgers audio broadcast. When it's game night,
Speaker 3: it's group night and Shaky's Dot Com.
Speaker 1: And now what will likely be vast fielding insults from
Speaker 1: a Dodger player.
Speaker 5: It's an engagement of endearment.
Speaker 1: This is high and tight.
Speaker 6: It's time for the managers meeting with the man that
Speaker 6: has won three World Series championships at the helm of
Speaker 6: the Dodgers, and that is the one and only Dave Roberts.
Speaker 13: Dave, thanks a lot for the time. Great to be
Speaker 13: on the field with you.
Speaker 14: No, this is great. This is our our kickoff conversation interview.
Speaker 14: So this is gonna be fun. So I'm looking forward
Speaker 14: to this, Dave, just being able to talk Dodgers baseball.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and you know so much has been talked about,
Speaker 6: and you've talked so much about the dissection of the
Speaker 6: World Series in Game seven, but again today at two o'clock,
Speaker 6: you had the same key players, Miguel Rojas, Mookie Betts,
Speaker 6: Freddie Freeman all out here doing infield work and the
Speaker 6: infield was in and people want to know how to
Speaker 6: plays like Game six and Game seven happen. But it
Speaker 6: starts in April, it starts in March and continues through
Speaker 6: the summer.
Speaker 14: It does. And that's one of the things that I'm
Speaker 14: really really proud of with our guys. And I think that, yeah,
Speaker 14: you look at a Game seven, you look at the
Speaker 14: play that Mickey made, or the double play that Mookie
Speaker 14: turned to end the World Series. We do this all
Speaker 14: year long, and I think for us is that there
Speaker 14: are certain situations or plays that might not show itself.
Speaker 14: But you know, even right now we're marred and not
Speaker 14: playing good baseball, not winning a lot of games. But
Speaker 14: I think for me, the behind the curtain, under the hood,
Speaker 14: the work is consistent, and we do PFPS every other week.
Speaker 14: That's pitchers fielding practice. We practice infield in every single day.
Speaker 14: Outfielders are throwing to the basis a couple times a week,
Speaker 14: so all this stuff happens every day. And then with
Speaker 14: the talent that we have, those are the bets that
Speaker 14: we're going to win more than we lose.
Speaker 6: How do you look at it as the manager always
Speaker 6: wanting more, never satisfied, You're in first place, and your
Speaker 6: offense still hasn't even scratched the surface of what it
Speaker 6: should be.
Speaker 14: I think if you look at you know, listen to
Speaker 14: me and people that do know me, I'm really big
Speaker 14: on the process, and I think for me is I
Speaker 14: would I just want to see, you know, better quality
Speaker 14: at bets, swinging to strikes, taking balls, you know, taking
Speaker 14: walks when they're given to us, run the bas as well,
Speaker 14: play good defense. And we've gotten a lot of good pitching.
Speaker 14: And for me, if those things and the work before
Speaker 14: the games are kind of in check, I'll bet on
Speaker 14: the results on the back end. So I really don't
Speaker 14: fret over results. And I understand fans you live and
Speaker 14: die by every win, and I get that, but baseball
Speaker 14: is a marathon of a season, and we just got
Speaker 14: to continue to plug away. And like I said, we've
Speaker 14: gone through this every single year and we're looking at
Speaker 14: winning three in a row. So it happens everything.
Speaker 6: When you look at yesterday's game, we saw something that
Speaker 6: you don't see that we haven't seen if you've been
Speaker 6: in Los Angeles since nineteen eighty six, A pitcher going
Speaker 6: into the ninth and and coming close to a complete game,
Speaker 6: even though.
Speaker 13: The score was on the other side.
Speaker 6: How impressive was it to have Robleski do what he
Speaker 6: did yesterday considering where your bullpen was at.
Speaker 7: It was great.
Speaker 14: And so essentially everyone has had the last two out
Speaker 14: of four days off, given the off day that we
Speaker 14: had before the series and yesterday, and we're in the
Speaker 14: middle of thirteen in a row. And so for a
Speaker 14: Robo to you know, be in a game that's at
Speaker 14: of balance at that point in time, but still have
Speaker 14: enough pitches to continue to go out there and ultimately
Speaker 14: have a chance to finish the game, which he was
Speaker 14: one out away from doing. That was a big relief
Speaker 14: for our pen and that's going to help us when
Speaker 14: you know the you know games going forward in this
Speaker 14: stretch that we're in. So it is a little old school,
Speaker 14: and I give Robo a lot of credit. He's done
Speaker 14: a lot of good things for us. Six shutout, seven
Speaker 14: innings and this time eight plus, so he's been a
Speaker 14: huge additive to our pitching staff.
Speaker 6: That's the voice of the manager, Dave Roberts before first pitch,
Speaker 6: Dodgers and Giants opening up a four game series here
Speaker 6: at Dodgers Stadium, and when you look at this stretch
Speaker 6: of seven games, Day four against the Giants who are
Speaker 6: having a lot of issues. The Angels are having a
Speaker 6: lot of issues. Do you circle a number? Do you
Speaker 6: have a number of wins that you want this week
Speaker 6: going into San Diego?
Speaker 7: You know I don't.
Speaker 14: I will say this is the Giants beat us up
Speaker 14: in the Bay two out of three, and so we've
Speaker 14: got some payback that we got to kind of redeem ourselves.
Speaker 14: So I expect to win the series, but it starts
Speaker 14: by winning tonight, and then the Angels for some reason,
Speaker 14: they've had our number, and so you know, we got
Speaker 14: to find a way to beat those guys. And obviously
Speaker 14: every year is different, and I think for me, Dave
Speaker 14: is just I just want to play good ball, and
Speaker 14: it's not not perfect baseball, but you know, in all
Speaker 14: the different facets of the game, go out there compete.
Speaker 14: I'm excited to get Mooki back in the lineup. So
Speaker 14: that's kind of some infusion of some newness to our
Speaker 14: ball club, which we're all excited about. But again, small
Speaker 14: play good baseball and we'll win our fair share games.
Speaker 13: You have Mookie Bets hitting second tonight.
Speaker 6: It's the same three that led you to the World
Speaker 6: series last year, Otani Mookie, Freddy, do you feel like
Speaker 6: that trio is going to help get things going again?
Speaker 13: I do.
Speaker 7: I do.
Speaker 14: I think that. You know, you look at the one, two, three,
Speaker 14: It certainly looks good on paper, But now I think
Speaker 14: we got to get show Hey swinging the bat the
Speaker 14: way he's capable of, which I think will turn. Obviously, Freddie,
Speaker 14: I think he's shown some signs of breaking out of it,
Speaker 14: but he's always given you a good at bet every
Speaker 14: time he steps in the box. And then obviously MOOKI
Speaker 14: behind him, and I think or moves Freddie behind Muki,
Speaker 14: And I think for me it was just a way to,
Speaker 14: you know, break up those two lefties at the top.
Speaker 14: And I think for me today I have Tucker in
Speaker 14: the four. I just felt that giving our lefties four
Speaker 14: out of five of the first five hitters a good
Speaker 14: crack at this starter today. So today is more of
Speaker 14: the mindset up beat that starter today.
Speaker 6: Is it fair to say, pahez A Munsei, I've been
Speaker 6: your two best players so far?
Speaker 11: It is? It is?
Speaker 14: I think that, And you're talking about in totality obviously
Speaker 14: taking putting, taking show Hey off the table as far
Speaker 14: as pitching and hitting. But as far as what Andy
Speaker 14: has done in centerfield and how he's been so good offensively,
Speaker 14: he's been a very very good player. And I think
Speaker 14: with Max, what he's done in the box, what he's
Speaker 14: done at third base, he's been a very good player.
Speaker 14: So I think to your question, yeah, they've been our
Speaker 14: two best players all right.
Speaker 6: Before I let Dave Roberts go tomorrow, ice Cube is
Speaker 6: throwing out the first pitch. The bobblehead with him and
Speaker 6: the low Rider like at the parade, is going to
Speaker 6: be given out tomorrow. And we all know about Dave's
Speaker 6: dancing moves. We've seen that at the parade. So I
Speaker 6: know you're an ice Cube NWA fan. So what do
Speaker 6: you have in store for tomorrow? What are they expecting
Speaker 6: out of Dave Roberts tomorrow?
Speaker 14: Well, definitely, I hope the listeners have forgotten my lack
Speaker 14: of dancing skills. I had an out of body experience
Speaker 14: on stage a couple of years ago. But I am
Speaker 14: excited to have ice Cube here, and it's just so cool,
Speaker 14: you know, for pop culture, you know, and ice Cube
Speaker 14: is transcended decades of music and he's an icon and
Speaker 14: og one of the Ogs, and so it is cool
Speaker 14: to have him, you know, rocking to LA and coming
Speaker 14: out to Dodge Stadium and having his own bobblehead. But
Speaker 14: I won't be doing any making it drop, making my
Speaker 14: three letter word drop, And ain't gonna be doing that tomorrow.
Speaker 6: All right, Dave, thanks a lot for the preview. We
Speaker 6: appreciate it. And tonight it's a great night to get a.
Speaker 14: Win, all right, Dave, thanks for having me.

Speaker 8: this four game series with the Giants, the Dodgers, and
Speaker 8: the Padres tied for first in the National League West,
Speaker 8: and the Giants are eight games behind the Dodgers and
Speaker 8: the Padres. Ro Ki Sasaki looking to turn things around personally,
Speaker 8: and he's going against Trevor McDonald.
Speaker 9: And the thing we're looking at Sasaki. The last outing
Speaker 9: of the one that was a loss of the Saint
Speaker 9: Louis Cardinals, he tied a career high going six innings.
Speaker 7: But the numbers are still way up there. And the
Speaker 7: six starts that he's.
Speaker 9: Made coming in tonight, he has thrown a lot of pitches,
Speaker 9: but only sixty percent of the pitches that found the
Speaker 9: striketh zone. That has to work a little bit better,
Speaker 9: and for Sasaki, if anything else, challenge hitters. That's one
Speaker 9: of the things that Dave Roberts has talked about, trust
Speaker 9: your stuff, because he's got the stuff to do it.
Speaker 11: Now.
Speaker 9: The question is can he go and repeat pitch after
Speaker 9: pitch and not get that overly concentrated As far as
