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't they printing 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,
Speaker 1: tam Cats.
Speaker 3: Hi, everybody, and good afternoon. Welcome to my Wrong Goo Casino.
Speaker 3: Dodgers on deck on this Monday afternoon, as you're back
Speaker 3: to back World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers are on
Speaker 3: the road in the mile highest City to start a
Speaker 3: three game set against the Colorado Rockies. Dodgers seventy four
Speaker 3: and fifty one on this season first place a top
Speaker 3: the NL West, but their lead is now seven in
Speaker 3: the division after a four and three homestand I saw
Speaker 3: the Dodgers sweep the Kansas City Royals, but they drop
Speaker 3: three of four to the Milwaukee Brewers.
Speaker 5: They now head to Denver for a three game series.
Speaker 3: Blake Snell on the mound in the series opener, first
Speaker 3: pitch from Corsefield is coming up at five point forty.
Speaker 5: Between then and.
Speaker 3: Now, we got a lot to cover here on Marongo
Speaker 3: Casino Dodgers on deck. You are going to hear for
Speaker 3: the Dodger manager Dave Roberts, who was not too happy
Speaker 3: with the way his team's been playing on the last
Speaker 3: home stand. Well, here with Doc has to say. Coming
Speaker 3: up in twenty minutes, we'll preview this pitching matchup. David
Speaker 3: Vassa will join us throughout the hour. He'll go one
Speaker 3: on one with Dodger reliever Evan Phillips. Coming up in
Speaker 3: forty five minutes, we got your Dodgers magical moment. Charlie
Speaker 3: Steinders stops by. Shortly we'll visit with Kirsten Watson from
Speaker 3: Sports Net LA, and in just a few minutes we
Speaker 3: will check in with Tim Neverett and Rick Monday out
Speaker 3: the Galloping Ford Broadcast booth. Well, yesterday the Dodgers were
Speaker 3: trying to get the sweep or the split with the
Speaker 3: Milwaukee Brewers. Unfortunately, they ran into Logan Henderson, who went
Speaker 3: seven innings allowed just a one run on three hits.
Speaker 3: The Dodgers offense was not very good in the series
Speaker 3: against Milwaukee, and yesterday they struggled the street together hits. Meanwhile,
Speaker 3: Terrek Scooble got the start for the Dodgers. He goes
Speaker 3: six innings, two runs, seven hits, seven strikeouts. Didn't get
Speaker 3: the defensive help he was looking for. That started in
Speaker 3: the second inning on a ground ball field, there's choice
Speaker 3: and air officially on Tommy edmonted second that brought in
Speaker 3: the first run of the game, as Milwaukee had a
Speaker 3: one to nothing lead. Fast forward to the fourth, the
Speaker 3: Dodgers looking for some offense and they found it in
Speaker 3: Max Munsey.
Speaker 2: Man given the situation, let alone the pitch that was
Speaker 2: awful monthly, on the very next pitch flies one to
Speaker 2: deep right field, carrying.
Speaker 7: Back Man it is gone.
Speaker 8: Max Monsey ties the game with a two out solo
Speaker 8: home run, and man with the most home runs in
Speaker 8: the history of this ballpark, adds to that tally and
Speaker 8: resets the ballgame.
Speaker 9: Oh but that's going to be a spark for this
Speaker 9: Dodger ball club. They need a spark and they need
Speaker 9: it quickly.
Speaker 3: And they got that spark from Max Mounsey his twenty
Speaker 3: fourth home run of the season, number two thirty three
Speaker 3: as a dodger Is seventh since the All Star Break. However,
Speaker 3: that tie game in a one didn't last very long.
Speaker 3: Top half of the fifth inning, Jake Bowers, with two
Speaker 3: outs bloop single to write that gave the Brewers a
Speaker 3: two to one lead. In the seventh, the Dodgers bullpen
Speaker 3: gave it up and Guardo and Riquez got the first
Speaker 3: two outs, and then it turned into a two out
Speaker 3: rally for the Brewers. They scored two more runs take
Speaker 3: a four to one lead. They attacked on two more
Speaker 3: on a ninth inning air from Tommy Emmon.
Speaker 5: It was a six to one Brewers lead. Bottom of
Speaker 5: the ninth inning.
Speaker 3: The Dodgers didn't manage to get one more back, so
Speaker 3: three of the.
Speaker 9: Four games the starting pitchers had done exactly what you're
Speaker 9: talking about. Give your ball club a chance to win.
Speaker 2: Paz hits one high in the ear to deep left field.
Speaker 2: This ball's carrying back in it is gone. A home
Speaker 2: run for Randy Pajes, a three to two pitch from
Speaker 2: d L Hall, and it's now six to two.
Speaker 3: Andy Pijes with a solo home run in the ninth inning,
Speaker 3: his twenty first of the season. But it wasn't gonna
Speaker 3: be enough. The Dodgers go on and fall to the
Speaker 3: Brewers two. As the Dodgers yesterday had a couple of
Speaker 3: opportunities late. They had first and third eighth inning show
Speaker 3: hey Otani, though grind it into a double play. The
Speaker 3: Brewers scored sixteen runs in this series, compared to the Dodgers,
Speaker 3: who outscored ten to three in the final two games
Speaker 3: of the series. Justin Robuski was placed on the il.
Speaker 3: That was also bad news yesterday. Logan Hinterson the win,
Speaker 3: Trek schoobl to the loss. Schooble now zero to two
Speaker 3: and three starts since coming over at the trade deadline
Speaker 3: from Detroit. Dodgers dropped three of four to Milwaukee. They
Speaker 3: lose the season series. They go four and three on
Speaker 3: the home stand. The Dodgers they dropped eleven of their
Speaker 3: last sixteen. Dave Roberts not too happy after the game yesterday.
Speaker 3: First pitch though from Denver, as they look to turn
Speaker 3: the page. Coming up at five poin forty as they
Speaker 3: start a brand news series three games against the Colorado Rockies.
Speaker 3: Maybe it's a get right series for the Dodgers. We'll
Speaker 3: find out with more. Let's head out to the Galloping
Speaker 3: Ford Broadcast booth. As we welcome in Tim Neberdy Rick Monday.
Speaker 7: Guys, Tim, thank you very much.
Speaker 10: This is a beautiful, warm evening here in the Rocky
Speaker 10: Mountains in down town, Denver, the lower portion of it
Speaker 10: at Coors Field, as the Dodgers and the Colorado Rockies
Speaker 10: gets set to begin a three game set. The Dodgers
Speaker 10: start the night seven up on the San Diego Padres
Speaker 10: seventy four and fifty one. Meantime, the Rockies fifty and
Speaker 10: seventy four in the basement of the National League West,
Speaker 10: twenty three and a half games behind the Dodgers. Tomoyuki
Speaker 10: Sugano will get the start tonight. He's twelve and five.
Speaker 10: The Rockies have had anybody who's had any success this year,
Speaker 10: it's been Sugano, and he will oppose left hander Blake Snell.
Speaker 10: Snell makes his second start since coming off the injured list.
Speaker 10: He was very good last time out, and he's been
Speaker 10: very good against the Rockies in his career. Otani will
Speaker 10: be back at the top of the lineup and Freeman
Speaker 10: batting second. The lineup looks rather familiar mode, but it's
Speaker 10: been three things that have been an issue for the
Speaker 10: Dodgers in recent days that you can point at, and
Speaker 10: that's offense, defense, and pitching.
Speaker 9: Yeah, other than that has been fine. The pitching has
Speaker 9: been holding up. The book been's been doing a better
Speaker 9: jobs as we progress. But you know, the times are
Speaker 9: difficult right now. Dodgers have lost eleven of the last
Speaker 9: sixteen in that period of time, averaging just under three
Speaker 9: and a half runs a ballgame. And they missed a
Speaker 9: golden opportunity in that four game series against the Milwaukee Brewers,
Speaker 9: so they not only lost three out of the four,
Speaker 9: but also they lost the tie breaker to the Brewers,
Speaker 9: which could have postseason ramification. So the Dodgers have they
Speaker 9: have to tighten the belt. I agree with you. It's
Speaker 9: not just one area. It's just about every area. It's
Speaker 9: encompassed into the losses that they've had recently. And if
Speaker 9: we put in perspective, you know, this is game number
Speaker 9: one hundred and twenty six, so seventy seven percent of
Speaker 9: the season has already been played, and Fellows, this is
Speaker 9: a great time to start a winning stream.
Speaker 10: And you know as well as anybody, you went through
Speaker 10: the battles as a player for better than nineteen years
Speaker 10: if you count your time outside of the major leagues.
Speaker 10: But you can't just flip the switch in baseball and say, Okay,
Speaker 10: it's time to win now. You've got to find a
Speaker 10: way to change the approach.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 10: The one thing that Dave Roberts has talked about saying, look,
Speaker 10: you know, the approaches at the plate have not been
Speaker 10: the same. Guys aren't taking as many walks, not getting
Speaker 10: as many base runs.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I think first of all, the preparation is there.
Speaker 9: These guys are working hard. We see that end of it.
Speaker 9: They're working hard each and every day. But the game
Speaker 9: plans are there. I just don't think they're able to
Speaker 9: execute right now on a competitive basis those game plans.
Speaker 9: So we're seeing our first question is for hitters, are
Speaker 9: you swinging at good pinches to begin with, especially early
Speaker 9: in the count? And I thought that was one of
Speaker 9: the issues that they had in dropping three of those
Speaker 9: four against the Brewers pitch selection that they were offering.
Speaker 7: It and playing here in Denver.
Speaker 10: People say, well, it's a great place to get right,
Speaker 10: that's a huge outfield. The ball carries well here. But
Speaker 10: as you and I both know, we both have seen
Speaker 10: a lot of ball games in this ballpark. It doesn't
Speaker 10: matter who's wearing the Rockies' uniforms. The two toughest innings
Speaker 10: typically are the eighth and ninth because they just never
Speaker 10: quit here.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 9: I think the other part too, is awareness coming in.
Speaker 9: You're looking at Sigano. He's a ground ball pitcher and
Speaker 9: the ground ball batting average against him is very poor.
Speaker 9: So what are the Dodgers going to do? They're gonna
Speaker 9: have to have better selection of pitches. These guys understand.
Speaker 9: Is not just one guy that can all of a
Speaker 9: sudden turn things around. This is a joint effort and
Speaker 9: no better time than tonight. Game one is very brief
Speaker 9: three game road trip.
Speaker 7: Tell me Yoki Sogano for the Rockies.
Speaker 10: The right hander facing Dodgers left deep Blake Snell, Rockies
Speaker 10: and Dodgers coming up from coursefield, Tim all.
Speaker 3: Right, thank you very much, as we count you down
Speaker 3: to first pitch on this Monday, Dodger fans, get that
Speaker 3: game day meal on Shaky's Pizza parlor or your Shaky's
Speaker 3: pizza shaking and Mojo's right now, he's Shaky's dot Com
Speaker 3: coming up here on Dodgers on deck before first pitch,
Speaker 3: David Bassego's high and tight with Evan Phillips. We'll hear
Speaker 3: from DV throughout the hour. Charlie Stander stops by. We'll
Speaker 3: here from the manager, Dave Roberts. Latest of the Dodgers'
Speaker 3: injury news is yesterday Justin Robluski placed on the injured list.
Speaker 5: We got your Dodgers magical moment. We'll break down this
Speaker 5: pitching match up, but up next to your o Tani
Speaker 5: Rewind add it with Kirson Watson from Sports.
Speaker 1: In at LA.
Speaker 3: That's all coming up as we lead you up to
Speaker 3: first pitch with Mile High City.
Speaker 5: It's the Dodgers and Rockies. Thanks for being with us.
Speaker 3: Some'm Tim Kates is the back to back World Series
Speaker 3: champion Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 1: This is Morongo Casino Dodgers Hunting Game on your home
Speaker 1: for La Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 3: It's the Dodgers and the Colorado Rockies on this Monday
Speaker 3: and night as the Dodgers finished off a home stand yesterday.
Speaker 3: Now a brief three game road trip in the Mile
Speaker 3: High City. Blake Snell, Tomoyuki Sigano. The pitching matchup. First pitch,
Speaker 3: Shit five forty.
Speaker 1: This is the Otani Rewid Big pitch to fill the count.
Speaker 2: So now Henderson with a payoff pitch, Well, Tani hits
Speaker 2: it on the ground through the right.
Speaker 5: Side, leadoff single for show hit.
Speaker 3: That was it a leadoff single in the first inning.
Speaker 3: Dodgers only had five hits in the entire game, two
Speaker 3: of which were sol a home runs from Andy Pojez
Speaker 3: and Max Bunsi. As the Dodgers fell to the Brewers
Speaker 3: yesterday by final all four to one.
Speaker 1: This is Kirston's corner with Kirston Watson.
Speaker 3: Hey, Kirston now joins us for the Mile High City,
Speaker 3: brought to you by Cars for Kids. The easiest way
Speaker 3: to get rid of that old car. Donate it today,
Speaker 3: your car could be picked up tomorrow.
Speaker 5: That easy.
Speaker 3: Donate now at carsfo Kids dot org. That's Cars with
Speaker 3: a K. If hitting an offense were only as easy
Speaker 3: as donating your car to Cars for Kids, well, the
Speaker 3: Dodgers will have a better offense right now because they're
Speaker 3: really struggling.
Speaker 11: Yeah, if it could only be so easy. It's been
Speaker 11: a tough ride for this offense as of late. I mean,
Speaker 11: and it's tricky because in the Royal Series to start
Speaker 11: the homestand they were excellent, They were really good with
Speaker 11: runners in scoring position, they were getting things going. Of course,
Speaker 11: you saw the clutch hitting as well, but then you
Speaker 11: have the Brewers series, and yes, you have to sometimes
Speaker 11: tip your cap. They did see some excellent pitching, but
Speaker 11: they were limited entirely in that series. What four hits
Speaker 11: one game, five hits the other only a total of
Speaker 11: three runs. So now it's a matter of how do
Speaker 11: they get back on track in this one. They're playing
Speaker 11: here in Denver, Colorado, where the ball flies due to
Speaker 11: the altitude. It's a massive outfield, so you're more likely
Speaker 11: to get a base hit as well. But Dave Roberts,
Speaker 11: either last night as well as today, he's been talking
Speaker 11: about how when he looks at the offense as a
Speaker 11: collective right now, there's just no consistency to the group,
Speaker 11: and unfortunately you have one through nine that are struggling.
Speaker 11: It's not that they're not working hard to get back
Speaker 11: on track, it's just there's a little bit of that pressing.
Speaker 11: There's a little bit of you know, they're getting behind
Speaker 11: in the counts and that's leading to more strikeouts. Then
Speaker 11: they're not getting on base.
Speaker 1: So you have the walks are.
Speaker 11: Down, the strikeouts are up, the results are not there.
Speaker 11: So the hope is they can use with this matchup
Speaker 11: against Sagano, someone they're very familiar with, someone who does
Speaker 11: give up the long ball. They're hoping that they can
Speaker 11: find ways to get back get to him, but also
Speaker 11: get back to just their true selves as hitters. They
Speaker 11: know how talented they are. They need to stick to
Speaker 11: their approach and stick to their plan and hopefully that
Speaker 11: can allow for just some result and then some runs.
Speaker 3: Also be nice to have Blake Snell do what he
Speaker 3: did last time out, because if he could keep duplicating
Speaker 3: what he did in his return last week, this Dodge's
Speaker 3: rotation will be sitting pretty good.
Speaker 11: Blake was so good in his last time out, and
Speaker 11: it was only his second start of the regular season,
Speaker 11: and if we recall first it was the shoulder irritation
Speaker 11: that he was just working through and fatigue that he
Speaker 11: was working through before joining the team in the regular season.
Speaker 11: Then in that first start, he ultimately had to go
Speaker 11: back on the el to have the loose bodies removed
Speaker 11: in his left elbow. So for him, he was saying
Speaker 11: he took a lot with how he took too long
Speaker 11: to get into the game in his first outing. I
Speaker 11: believe it was against the Braves, if I recall correctly,
Speaker 11: But whereas in this last one against the Royals, from
Speaker 11: the first pitch of the game, he was locked in
Speaker 11: and he was saying just how much he learned from
Speaker 11: that first outing and how he wanted to be in
Speaker 11: a different position and also complimently wanted to kind of
Speaker 11: make up from the time. I'm that he's at lost
Speaker 11: and away from the team and wanting to finally be
Speaker 11: able to be in a position where he can contribute.
Speaker 11: So with that urgency that he is pitching with, the
Speaker 11: hope is that that can translate just to the rest
Speaker 11: of the group as they do look to get back
Speaker 11: on track and hopefully pick up a win today in.
Speaker 3: Colorado, No doubt, tonight's the night it all turns around. Curiously,
Speaker 3: we appreciate It'll check you with you after the game
Speaker 3: is still to come. Here on Marango Casino, Dodgers on
Speaker 3: Deck will dive deeper to this pitching matchup. David Vatsey
Speaker 3: goes one on one with Evan Phillips. But up next
Speaker 3: an injury report, and well here from the manager himself,
Speaker 3: Dave Roberts, what's he gotta say? Dodgers and Rockies first
Speaker 3: pitch in Denver, five forty. I'm Tim Kates with the
Speaker 3: back to back World Series champion Dodgers audio number.
Speaker 1: This is Marongo Casino Dodgers on Deck. On your hope
Speaker 1: for the Blue all season long.
Speaker 3: Morongo Casino Dodgers on Deck continues as we lead you
Speaker 3: up to first page from Denver. It's the Dodgers and
Speaker 3: the Rockies, Marongo Casino Resort and Spy. It's a Grand
Speaker 3: Slam for good times.
Speaker 1: He's the LA Dodgers Injury report Well.
Speaker 3: The Dodgers in Denver, presented by UCLA Healthy, official medical
Speaker 3: partner of the Los Angeles Dodgers. They getting healthy and
Speaker 3: also at the same time not getting healthy. As yesterday,
Speaker 3: Justin Robleski was placed on the injured list with irritation
Speaker 3: in his left forearm. Good news is, Dave Robert said
Speaker 3: after the game yesterday. They're just giving him some rest
Speaker 3: after he carried this Dodger rotation in the first half
Speaker 3: of the season along with Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Dalton Rushing on
Speaker 3: the iel with the elbow injury. Blake Snell pitched in
Speaker 3: Ontario with the Tower Buzzers over the weekend, so he
Speaker 3: is making his way back. Will Smith on the iel
Speaker 3: with the next inflammation, he is hopefully trending in the
Speaker 3: right direction to return in a few weeks.
Speaker 5: Fingers crossed.
Speaker 3: Tyler Glass now is gonna make one more rehab outing
Speaker 3: this week after he made three alreadies, planning to go
Speaker 3: about five innings seventy five pitches. All right, we head
Speaker 3: back out to Denver. Let's get the pregame dot to
Speaker 3: the Dodgers skipperd anything else for Dave?
Speaker 6: Do you think the questions for Dave?
Speaker 7: Dave?
Speaker 1: Can you just describe Dave?
Speaker 12: Can you talk about the pressure.
Speaker 13: In the dugouts with Dave Roberts, Well, first off, it's
Speaker 13: not clutch situations. It's about just collectively having good quality
Speaker 13: of bets. And I think that it's been like I
Speaker 13: said yesterday, it's been quite some time since we've been
Speaker 13: consistent and you know, with our approaches and making adjustments
Speaker 13: in the middle of a game being better with two strikes.
Speaker 13: You know, the chase is up, the swing percentages up,
Speaker 13: the walk percentages down, and so those are things that
Speaker 13: that's just not who we are as an offense. So
Speaker 13: I understand it's a long season. I understand that the
Speaker 13: guys are are preparing and playing hard and trying, but
Speaker 13: the standards for this talent that we have is higher
Speaker 13: and it should be. And so that's what I'm looking for,
Speaker 13: you know, with.
Speaker 11: Our bets individually, I mean, how do you how do
Speaker 11: guys get back to kind of getting to that level
Speaker 11: that they know they can be. Is it's something where
Speaker 11: you're seeing that you maybe just kind of the time
Speaker 11: of the season, do you think, I guess what is
Speaker 11: it either leading to that and how do you get
Speaker 11: away from that?
Speaker 13: Is it even possible that Well, it's possible, And I
Speaker 13: think that it's it's about having a clear plan approach
Speaker 13: for that starter, that pitcher and sticking to it. And
Speaker 13: I think that, you know, that's something that I see
Speaker 13: us kind of changing approaches and as far as you know,
Speaker 13: you just got to have a plan and be consistent
Speaker 13: with that approach. And I think that's kind of and
Speaker 13: be willing to live with the results as opposed to
Speaker 13: kind of chasing your tail in the box, which is
Speaker 13: kind of what I see a little bit of.
Speaker 3: All right, there's a manager, Dave Roberts, expanding on what
Speaker 3: he was talking about yesterday postgame. The approach needs to change,
Speaker 3: at least on the offensive side for this Dodgers team.
Speaker 3: When we continue here, I'm wrong Witho Casino Dodgers on Deck.
Speaker 3: We'll check in with David Vassay. We leads up to
Speaker 3: first pitch, Dodgers and the Rockies. It smells Zilla Day.
Speaker 3: More on that with DV. I'm Tim Kason's the back
Speaker 3: to back Worlds. Here's champion Dodgers on your network.
Speaker 1: As we were saying, this is Marongo Casino Dodgers on
Speaker 1: deck on the official home of La Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 3: It's the Dodgers and the Rockies. Blake Snell on the Mountain.
Speaker 3: First pitch coming up in five forty. Dodgers Baseball is
Speaker 3: brought to you by our friends at El Poto, born
Speaker 3: in La Made for your game. Dale Poto brings authentic
Speaker 3: Mexican style tomato sauces, sauces and hot sauces right to
Speaker 3: your plate every single time.
Speaker 5: El Poto Gourmet and a can.
Speaker 1: Joining Tim cats on Dodgers on Deck.
Speaker 6: I accept everybody for who they are.
Speaker 1: This is Dodger insider David Basse.
Speaker 12: All right, DV.
Speaker 3: Blake Snell on the mountain. Man, If we get the
Speaker 3: Blake Snell we got a week ago.
Speaker 6: Hello, lookout, Oh you're gonna get that guy, Tim. He
Speaker 6: has done really well against the Rockies, going back to
Speaker 6: his time with the Padres, Blake's Nell has pitched twenty
Speaker 6: five consecutive scoreless innings against the Rockies. And to give
Speaker 6: you a peek into his preparation, a couple of days
Speaker 6: ago at Dodger Stadium at his locker, he showed me
Speaker 6: his binder, his scouting report on all these Rockies hitters,
Speaker 6: and he was flipping through the lineup page by page. Yeah,
Speaker 6: I'll do this, go up here, go down there, I'll
Speaker 6: do this. He already had the game plan two days ago,
Speaker 6: and a great departure from let's say a guy like
Speaker 6: Trek Scooble. On start day, Blake Snell showed up in
Speaker 6: the Dodger Clubhouse at about three point fifteen, immediately changed
Speaker 6: into his full uniform with his headphones on. So he's
Speaker 6: a different type of Snell Zilla animal on start day
Speaker 6: than some others. So he's ready and he's a you know,
Speaker 6: I feel like, continues to pitch with a chip on
Speaker 6: his shoulder to prove that he can be the guy
Speaker 6: that he was for the Dodgers in October last year.
Speaker 3: Love It They It David was brought to you by
Speaker 3: fort Summer Sales event. Don't wait hurrying now for the
Speaker 3: best offers of the year. Go to buy Ford Now
Speaker 3: dot com or You're Southern California for Dealer for more information.
Speaker 3: Official vehicle of the MLB.
Speaker 5: All right, David. The Dodgers' offense.
Speaker 3: Dave Roberts yesterday very critical about the approach they have,
Speaker 3: the bats they're taking, and in just a few minutes
Speaker 3: ago we heard same thing again.
Speaker 5: He's not happy with this offense.
Speaker 6: No, he's not happy. And you know it's interesting from
Speaker 6: the player's perspective. They have told me in the last
Speaker 6: twenty four hours. Look, we heard what Dave Roberts had
Speaker 6: to say about playing with more urgency, but you can't
Speaker 6: do that in baseball. You can't play harder. We can't
Speaker 6: prepare any more than what we do. We just have
Speaker 6: to find a way to get out of this and really,
Speaker 6: tim when you take a step back, the only more
Speaker 6: urgency there can be is from the dugout. You got
Speaker 6: to manage with more urgency. If it means that much,
Speaker 6: that means pushing Snill an extra inning or if he's
Speaker 6: in trouble early, taking him out going to your high
Speaker 6: leverage relief. That's how you manage these games with urgency,
Speaker 6: and that sends a message to the players as well
Speaker 6: that hey, we are not just cruising to the finish line.
Speaker 6: So the players obviously know they need to be better,
Speaker 6: there's no doubt about it, and they've got to figure
Speaker 6: out a way to compete better in the batter's box.
Speaker 7: But it's not by a lack of trying.
Speaker 3: They have told me, all right, David, we'll see what
Speaker 3: happens with this Dodgers offense.
Speaker 5: You can get back on track tonight. We appreciate it.
Speaker 3: Days will go one on one with Evan Phillips that's
Speaker 3: coming up in about fifteen minutes. Still, they come here
Speaker 3: on wrong with casino Dodgers on deck. When we return,
Speaker 3: we'll get you your Dodgers magical moment. Don't you go anywhere,
Speaker 3: So we lead you up to Dodgers and Rockies for
Speaker 3: the mile highest city. As Dave mentioned, can this offense
Speaker 3: get going, We'll find out.

Speaker 3: no hitter against those San Francisco Giants and a two
Speaker 3: nothing to win as Kevin Gross did it on the
Speaker 3: night of his wife's twenty seventh birthday. That no hitter
Speaker 3: was the first of the nineteen ninety two season, helped
Speaker 3: the Dodgers avoid their first four game sweep at a
Speaker 3: home by the Giants in sixty nine years, and that
Speaker 3: Kevin Gross no hitter was the eighteenth in Dodger history.
Speaker 5: In the sixth.
Speaker 3: Against the Giants, Kevin Gross no hitter on this date
Speaker 3: back in nineteen ninety two. FEI magical moment brought to

Speaker 3: When we continue here on Morongo Casino, Dodgers on deck,
Speaker 3: we'll check in with Charlie Steiner lead you up to
Speaker 3: first pitch, I'm Tim Keaates's the.
Speaker 5: Back to back World Series champion Dodgers Paudio Network.
Speaker 1: This is Marongo Casino Dodgers on deck on your home
Speaker 1: for the blue all.
Speaker 3: Season Low Lean you up to Dodgers and the Rockies
Speaker 3: from Denver, Blake Snell, Totoyoki Sigano, the pitching Man, Cheppen's
Speaker 3: time now for the Verizon startup as we are thirty
Speaker 3: five minutes away from the start of the game. Now, Verizon,
Speaker 3: you can lock in that low price for three years
Speaker 3: so you can say big visit your So Cal Verizon
Speaker 3: store Today we welcome in Charlie Stunner.
Speaker 4: The Dodgers hit the road after losing three of four
Speaker 4: at home over the weekend to the Milwaukee Brewers. Game
Speaker 4: one twenty six, thirty seven games and forty one days remain.
Speaker 4: The Dodgers still in first place in the Western Division
Speaker 4: by seven over San Diego eight over Arizona. Their magic
Speaker 4: number is thirty one. However, in the race got the
Speaker 4: best two out of three who will get a buy
Speaker 4: in the first round of the playoffs between the Brewers, Braves,
Speaker 4: and Dodgers. The Brewers are two and a half in
Speaker 4: front of Atlanta.
Speaker 7: The Dodgers three games back.
Speaker 4: If the playoffs were to begin today, based on the
Speaker 4: Dodgers record, they would be a wild card team. So
Speaker 4: they've got a lot of work to do, thankfully against
Speaker 4: the team that they've had their way with historically.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 9: Absolutely, And if you look at the loss yesterday, it
Speaker 9: was more than just a lost game. They also lost
Speaker 9: the time breaker. As you mentioned to the Milwaukee Brewers,
Speaker 9: the Dodgers have to figure out a way to play
Speaker 9: better baseball on both ends of it. The starting pitching
Speaker 9: of recent times has been really good, Blake Snell going tonight.
Speaker 9: He was terrific returning off the injured list when he
Speaker 9: came back. But the Dodgers have a whole lot of
Speaker 9: fires that they have to be able to put out. Offense,
Speaker 9: no question about it. The defense has been well, kind
Speaker 9: of here and there. The base running has not been consistent.
Speaker 9: And for the Dodgers, I mean, you look at it,
Speaker 9: they've lost eleven of last sixteen ball games, and a
Speaker 9: lot of different possibilities have just not taken place for
Speaker 9: them to enable themselves to win a lot of ball games.
Speaker 9: And we've seen some games just to kind of fizzle
Speaker 9: and go to the other way.
Speaker 4: Over the weekend, the Brewers hit just two twenty eight
Speaker 4: and scored sixteen runs. The Dodgers hit one eighty one
Speaker 4: and scored ten runs in four games. Seven of those
Speaker 4: ten runs came by way of five home runs. On
Speaker 4: the hill, the Brewers had a two fifty seven RA
Speaker 4: and held the Dodgers to a one eighty one batting average.
Speaker 4: Dodger pitching three and a quarter er pretty good batting
Speaker 4: average against two twenty eight, And the big difference in
Speaker 4: the pitching came out of the bullpen. The Brewers bullpen
Speaker 4: over the weekend a one seventy four RA, holding the
Speaker 4: Dodgers to a one fourteen batting average. Dodger bullpen was
Speaker 4: all right, a three seventy five ER, holding the Brewers
Speaker 4: to a two forty five batting average. So you look
Speaker 4: at it over the weekend, the Brewers were simply a
Speaker 4: better baseball team.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I agree, And I said that after the conclusion
Speaker 9: of yesterday's ball game, I said, look, the Dodgers were
Speaker 9: outplayed by the Milwaukee Brewers, but they're not the only
Speaker 9: team of recent times that has outplayed this Dodger ball club.
Speaker 9: And you start to look at this team now I'm
Speaker 9: starting to see some guys get a little bit angry
Speaker 9: with the lack of success in repeating the fact of hey,
Speaker 9: winning some ballgames, Charlie, I think the big deal is
Speaker 9: if this were not as talent of a team as
Speaker 9: it is, we wouldn't spend a whole lot of time
Speaker 9: reciting numbers. But the numbers kind of put into perspective
Speaker 9: the problems the Dodgers had created for themselves in recent months.
Speaker 4: There's one number that really is disturbing to me as
Speaker 4: I looked at it. Through the twenty fifth of the
Speaker 4: Dodgers made twenty six errors in eighty one games. Since then,
Speaker 4: the Dodgers have made twenty five errors in just forty
Speaker 4: four games. So the defense has also really let them down.
Speaker 9: Yeah. Absolutely, it's multifaceted as far as the responsibility, and
Speaker 9: I know it's been addressed, it's been talked about, but
Speaker 9: until it gets remedied on the field, it's still something
Speaker 9: that everyone is going to point their fingers at and
Speaker 9: to be able to say, hey, look, these are the
Speaker 9: reasons X, Y, and Z, and there's too many of
Speaker 9: those possibilities. So they're hoping obviously that you know, they
Speaker 9: played well. They've won seven of ten so far this
Speaker 9: season against the Rockies. But which is a different team?
Speaker 9: Are the Rockies a different team the Dodgers coming in
Speaker 9: a different team just by the record alone now versus
Speaker 9: the other times they've seen them.
Speaker 4: The Dodgers' magic number has been whittled down to just
Speaker 4: thirty one. The tragic number for the Colorado Rockies to
Speaker 4: be eliminated mathematically is fifteen. So you got two teams
Speaker 4: heading entirely different directions. Blake Snell goes tonight against Tomy
Speaker 4: Joki Sigano. Lineups in first pitch coming up.
Speaker 5: All right, thank you, Charlie.

Speaker 1: from a Dodger player.
Speaker 5: It's an engagement of endearment.
Speaker 1: This this high and tight.
Speaker 6: We're in the mile high and it hasn't got us yet.
Speaker 6: I'm joined right now by Dodgers super reliever Evan Phillips. Evan,
Speaker 6: thanks a lot for the time.
Speaker 7: I appreciate it.
Speaker 12: Yes, sir, anytime. So you've been here enough times?
Speaker 6: Now, how do you handle being a mile high above
Speaker 6: sea level?
Speaker 12: Yeah, you know, it's a I honestly love coming to
Speaker 12: the games here. I think the ballpark's beautiful.
Speaker 15: The bullpen's definitely a different vibe down there than you
Speaker 15: see at a lot of ballparks, you know. Aside from
Speaker 15: that kind of stuff and the physical adjustments we.
Speaker 12: Have to make being here for a three game series.
Speaker 15: There are some small, like subtle things I change on
Speaker 15: the mound just to try to you know, execute execute
Speaker 15: pitches better, just the way the ball gets impacted.
Speaker 12: But like you said, I've been here a handful of
Speaker 12: times now, so I feel like I've got a good
Speaker 12: grasp on what I need to do.
Speaker 15: And truthfully, I feel like it's kind of it's beneficial
Speaker 15: for the rest of the season because it's kind of
Speaker 15: like just getting back to the foundation and the fundamentals
Speaker 15: of what I do well there on the mound. So yeah,
Speaker 15: I mean I've gotten used to it and.
Speaker 12: Hopefully we can get a few wins here.
Speaker 6: Are you saying when you go back to the fundamentals,
Speaker 6: you have to be more mindful of that here?
Speaker 15: Yeah, that's a great way to put it, just being
Speaker 15: a bit more mindful of, you know, how I'm trying
Speaker 15: to execute and where I'm trying to throw the pitches
Speaker 15: out there, just because I feel like when I haven't
Speaker 15: performed well here, it's been because of laps and you know, execution,
Speaker 15: and that could just come from a small mechanical flaw
Speaker 15: that maybe you get away with sometimes, but here you're
Speaker 15: not going to get away with it as much.
Speaker 6: Evan Phillips is our guest I head a first pitch
Speaker 6: between the Dodgers and Rockies. You're a great guy to
Speaker 6: talk to because I've been talking about you and preaching
Speaker 6: to people that have never gone through an arm surgery
Speaker 6: that it's really difficult to go through it and then
Speaker 6: be thrown into the fire in the middle of the season.
Speaker 6: How have you been able to manage all that and
Speaker 6: do you feel like you're getting closer to where you
Speaker 6: believe you should be?
Speaker 15: Yeah, definitely, I think you know, I didn't know how
Speaker 15: hard it was going to be until you know, getting
Speaker 15: back really at this level and competing out here on
Speaker 15: a consistent basis. But yeah, there's just been you know,
Speaker 15: small things really within every outing that I've thrown and
Speaker 15: where I wish I could have that one moment back.
Speaker 15: So just what I've done differently to try to circumvent
Speaker 15: that is to be a bit.
Speaker 12: More mindful of, you know, my practice reps.
Speaker 15: Similarly, just playing in Colorado, just kind of taking my
Speaker 15: throwing program daily back to the fundamentals of what I
Speaker 15: think I need to do well to have success and
Speaker 15: I have seen progress. So it's been itching to get
Speaker 15: back out there after every outing, just to continue to
Speaker 15: get all these reps built up. That way, you know,
Speaker 15: when the game's really you know, started to count, you know,
Speaker 15: down the stretch and into the postseason, I'm ready to
Speaker 15: be at my best.
Speaker 12: You're not the only one.
Speaker 6: Edwin Diaz had surgery during the season. He's the closer,
Speaker 6: and he's expected to come in where the tension is
Speaker 6: the highest.
Speaker 7: How much do we fully not appreciate what he.
Speaker 6: Has to come back from.
Speaker 15: Yeah, I think similarly to my situation, right, just we
Speaker 15: don't really have the luxury of getting too much of
Speaker 15: a soft landing when it comes to like getting back
Speaker 15: into games like, Yeah, Edwin's the closer, I have expectations to.
Speaker 12: Be, you know, part of the back end mix as well,
Speaker 12: And when you get into those situations, you just want
Speaker 12: to perform.
Speaker 15: You're not worried about, you know, the lack of repetitions
Speaker 15: that you missed out on because of injury. So for
Speaker 15: Edwin's case, you know, similar to myself, just got to
Speaker 15: keep on running back out there, hopefully get him a
Speaker 15: few more opportunities with a bigger lead to Hey, you know,
Speaker 15: let him take a deep breath out there and get
Speaker 15: through the outing more comfortably.
Speaker 12: But he's gonna be just fine.
Speaker 15: This guy is one of the best pictures on the planet,
Speaker 15: one of the best closers we've ever seen here. So
Speaker 15: you're gonna give him some more time, more reps, and
Speaker 15: he'll be fine.
Speaker 6: Evan Phillips as one of the highest baseball IQs I've
Speaker 6: met of any player since I've been doing this with
Speaker 6: the Dodgers, so I don't want to just put him
Speaker 6: in the box of talking about the bullpen and his
Speaker 6: comrades down there. What do you feel about the team
Speaker 6: and where it's at right now, and how encouraging is
Speaker 6: it to have the starting pitchers that you guys have
Speaker 6: now in the rotation.
Speaker 15: Yeah, I mean not just our starters, but you know
Speaker 15: what our lineups capable of doing. I think even within
Speaker 15: a stretch like this, everybody knows what we're capable of.
Speaker 15: It's a one hundred and sixty two game season, and
Speaker 15: we've got, you know, bigger aspirations beyond that as well.
Speaker 15: So I think little ruts like this are just you know,
Speaker 15: part of the long season. So it's kind of magnified
Speaker 15: right now because I think every facet of the game
Speaker 15: is having a moment or two of struggling base running, fielding,
Speaker 15: and starting pitching at times or relievers at times.
Speaker 12: So it's just a mix of putting it all together.
Speaker 15: And when it does, it's you know, we've already seen
Speaker 15: what this team can do and the ceiling that this
Speaker 15: group can have. So we'll just you know, keep on
Speaker 15: plugging away because I promise like the work inside.
Speaker 12: Each and every day hasn't waivered.
Speaker 15: You know, our guys or our leadership, with our our
Speaker 15: veterans and our superstars, you know, they're those guys are
Speaker 15: the hardest workers on the team. So those guys set
Speaker 15: the tone every single day and set the standard for us.
Speaker 6: And then can you take us inside a little bit?
Speaker 6: Obviously not too inside, but the Dodgers are the only
Speaker 6: team in baseball that has a player's only playing where
Speaker 6: you guys fly to these different cities players only. Do
Speaker 6: you guys talk the game on those flights or is
Speaker 6: it no baseball talk? Is that where you guys can
Speaker 6: actually hammer out whatever is going on in these type
Speaker 6: of situations.
Speaker 15: Yeah, I mean it's a mix, and I think it
Speaker 15: all started mostly it's as a camaraderie thing. I think
Speaker 15: we started doing it the twenty four postseason as a
Speaker 15: way to just you know, really dig in with that
Speaker 15: time together and you know that way when you're out
Speaker 15: on the field, you're playing for you know, a brother
Speaker 15: out there more so than just like a teammate that
Speaker 15: you would on any other day. But you know, if
Speaker 15: those conversations need to happen, I don't think anyone will
Speaker 15: shy away from having it, and even if it's here
Speaker 15: in the clubhouse. Right So, the travel has been great,
Speaker 15: but I think it's more so just a way to
Speaker 15: get the guys together more.
Speaker 12: All of our guys, most of our guys have.
Speaker 15: Families, you know, so this season takes us away from
Speaker 15: things of the personal, you know, side of life.
Speaker 12: But you know, while we're in.
Speaker 15: Season, I think everyone's decided that it's best that we
Speaker 15: stay as connected as possible.
Speaker 6: Is there what they used to call players only meetings?
Speaker 6: Does that still happen? Have you experienced that this year?
Speaker 15: You know, that's something that's you know, seldomly been done here.
Speaker 15: It was my time with the Dodgers. I think, you know,
Speaker 15: Dave Roberts has such a good grasp on the clubhouse
Speaker 15: and kind of lets us you handle the business each
Speaker 15: and every day. There have been moments here and there
Speaker 15: where you know, I know, the bullpen. We got the
Speaker 15: guys together last year at one point, but we do
Speaker 15: that kind of stuff, you know, every few weeks, just
Speaker 15: to kind of check in with each other.
Speaker 12: But you know that's a you know, we're a different
Speaker 12: group done there.
Speaker 15: We've got a lot of personalities coming in and out
Speaker 15: of the clubhouse from time to time, so we took
Speaker 15: a lot of pride in like keeping that unit solidified.
Speaker 15: But you know, same kind I would imagine the same
Speaker 15: thing goes for the guys that work in the cages, right.
Speaker 15: You just have little conversations here and there, but you know,
Speaker 15: not no formal, you know, team meetings as of yet.
Speaker 15: I think we've had to do a couple of my
Speaker 15: time here with the Dodgers, but these seem to be more.
Speaker 12: And more rare because of how Doc leads his team.
Speaker 6: Thank you for explaining that, Evan, you're the best. Appreciate
Speaker 6: the time, and definitely you will handle course field and
Speaker 6: hopefully the Dodger starters starting with tonight's now Zilla Bump Day,
Speaker 6: you guys will be used minimally hey.
Speaker 12: We'll take whatever we can get. We're always ready down there.
Speaker 6: You know that, Yes, no doubt, Evan Phillips, always ready,
Speaker 6: and you'll receive a gift card to Javier's a new
Speaker 6: location in Pasadena, also won in downtown and of course
Speaker 6: the flagship in Newport Beach. Tim, we'll send it back
Speaker 6: to you in the studio.

Speaker 3: Over his last five starts, Sagano is four and one
Speaker 3: with three ERA. His twelve wins as the most by
Speaker 3: Rocky starter since twenty twenty one. Fourth time facing the
Speaker 3: Dodgers Believe it or not last year, one start with
Speaker 3: the Baltimore Orioles, four runs, seven hits and a loss.
Speaker 3: Third time facing the Dodgers this season. He suffered the
Speaker 3: loss in each of those first two starts, allowing eight
Speaker 3: runs total on fifteen hits over a combined eight and
Speaker 3: two third innings. He pitched fewer than five innings in
Speaker 3: just three times since twenty twenty six, including both those
Speaker 3: starts against the Dodgers. How about that Blake Snell on
Speaker 3: the mound oh to one with a five ERA, three
Speaker 3: year old left hander in his eleventh season out in
Speaker 3: the Big League's finally healthy.
Speaker 5: Making his third start this year, He's ready to go.

Speaker 3: strikeouts and ate no decision against the Kansas City Royals, but.
Speaker 5: Pitch really good.
Speaker 3: In fourteen career starts against Colorado, Blake Snell is four
Speaker 3: and two with the three to zero four ERA with
Speaker 3: one hundred and twenty four strikeouts. In his only start
Speaker 3: against the Rockies as a Dodger, he went six scoreless
Speaker 3: Indians with eleven strikeouts. Last year back in September at
Speaker 3: Dodgers Stadium at coors Field, Well, Blake Snell is one
Speaker 3: and one with eight five ninety seven ERA and six starts.
Speaker 3: He last pitched to coors Field a member of the

Speaker 3: Blake Snell has tossed twenty five consecutive scoreless Indians against
Speaker 3: Colorado with forty six strikeouts. Wow, Blake Snell, Tomoyuku Sigano,
Speaker 3: It's the Dodgers and Rockies. We're fifteen minutes away from

Speaker 3: It's the Dodgers and the Rockies on this Monday. Blake
Speaker 3: Snell looking for his first win of the season. Hello,
Speaker 3: first pitch from Denver is coming up at five forty
Speaker 3: to get you ready for the start of the game

Speaker 3: Great with baseball. Back out to the booth before first pitch,
Speaker 3: Tim never Rick, Monday, Guys, Tim.
Speaker 7: Thanks again.
Speaker 10: The pitching matchup tonight, left hander Blake Snell against right
Speaker 10: hander Tomoyuki Sugano.
Speaker 7: They both are highly decorated.
Speaker 10: Snell a two time cy Young Award winner, and Sugano
Speaker 10: twice won the Sarromora Award, which is Japan's equivalent to
Speaker 10: the CY Young the difference. Sugano also won three MVPs
Speaker 10: in Japan as well, so two highly decorated pitchers going
Speaker 10: at it. Snell has had good luck against the Rockies.
Speaker 10: In fact, his last four starts against Colorado he has
Speaker 10: struck out at least ten in those games.
Speaker 9: Well, Snell when he came off the injured list, at
Speaker 9: that one start that he's made since that time, I mean,
Speaker 9: he was absolutely superb. What he did. He was in
Speaker 9: total control. Wasn't just the fast ball, the curveball, the slider,
Speaker 9: the changeup. He had everything that was working. It allowed
Speaker 9: just one run in the six innings, only three hits,
Speaker 9: and struck out ten. Mentioned earlier that Segano the Dodgers
Speaker 9: have to figure out how to avoid hitting ground balls.
Speaker 9: Very little banning average against the ground balls, but if
Speaker 9: you get the ball into the air. Segano has already
Speaker 9: been touched up for twenty four home runs. But when
Speaker 9: he gets ahead in the count, that's where that breaking
Speaker 9: ball comes in. That's where the offspeed pitch comes in.
Speaker 9: And when he's ahead in the count, it's less than
Speaker 9: a one to fifty batting average against him.
Speaker 10: So Gano's had some luck against other teams. Against the Dodgers,
Speaker 10: not so much. He's zero in three with an eight
Speaker 10: forty nine ERA in three starts. He's allowed six home runs.
Speaker 10: Facto Toni has got three of those six home runs
Speaker 10: against his countryman, tomo Yuki Sugano. So Sugano against Snell,
Speaker 10: the Rockies and the Dodgers coming up game one of three.
Speaker 5: Two All right, thank you very much.
Speaker 3: Keeping an eye on what's happening with the San Diego Padres,
Speaker 3: of course, who are in New York taking on the Mets.
Speaker 3: Mets with a two to one lead as they play
Speaker 3: in the bottom half of the fifth inning. As the
Speaker 3: Dodgers go into play tonight, they lead the NL West
Speaker 3: by seven games over San Diego, who look out at
Speaker 3: won eight of their last ten. Has set as sixty
Speaker 3: seven to fifty eight Dodgers seventy four to fifty one,
Speaker 3: but they've lost eleven of their last sixteen.
Speaker 5: They need to turn things around.
Speaker 3: Dave Roberts very adamant about that after the game yesterday
Speaker 3: and before today's game, Right guy to having the mount
Speaker 3: with Blake Snell as they are in Denver to take
Speaker 3: on the Rockies. Morongo Casino Dodgers on deck continues Tomorrow
