Speaker 9: space between.
Speaker 4: First and second place.
Speaker 9: The Phillies, off to the very slow start, have turned
Speaker 9: things around under Don Maddings.
Speaker 3: Boy have they ever turned things around, in particular on
Speaker 3: the road, where they've won now ten of the last eleven,
Speaker 3: including seven in a row. Yes, they trail Atlanta by
Speaker 3: eight and a half games in the Nashley Eastern Division,
Speaker 3: but they're feeling good about themselves. And why not not
Speaker 3: only winning ball games in the manner in which they're
Speaker 3: winning based around some pitching to begin with. And speaking
Speaker 3: of pitching, the Dodgers not bad either in that department.
Speaker 3: But this Dodger ball club, Charlie. Unfortunately, the injury bug
Speaker 3: hits yet again. On Wednesday, ti Oscar Hernanas had to
Speaker 3: leave the left hamstring. He goes on the injured list.
Speaker 3: Ryan Ward has called up for the second time. Hayesan
Speaker 3: Kim another move is sent to Triple A and Santiago Espinol,

Speaker 3: track the first couple of innings. We'll talk about it
Speaker 3: a little bit later on in the pregame show. Last
Speaker 3: couple of innings have been problematic for him early in
Speaker 3: the ballgame, so we'll find out about Rableski. Trust your
Speaker 3: stuff and when he is on, he does not give
Speaker 3: up too many base hits.
Speaker 9: Wheeler turns thirty six tomorrow, thirteen and two thirds consecutive
Speaker 9: shutout innings for that big right hander. As we get
Speaker 9: ready for the first of this three game series. Much
Speaker 9: more on the pregame ahead, including lineups in first pitch.

Speaker 6: Dodgers and Phillies on this Friday night, as the home
Speaker 6: stand continues. Dodgers fresh office sweep in the Colorado Rockies,
Speaker 6: Justin Robleski and Zach Wheeler.
Speaker 4: The pitching matchup, It's a good one.
Speaker 6: On alex Vesia Bobblehead Night first pitch coming up at
Speaker 6: seven fifteen.
Speaker 2: This is the Otani three wide two from Otani swing
Speaker 2: in a miss.
Speaker 7: He struck him out with a curveball, strikeout number one.
Speaker 7: One man out here on the top of the first
Speaker 7: Otani hamersek the dead center.
Speaker 8: This ball heading back, it is gone. A home run, a.
Speaker 7: Leadoff home run, the twenty eighth of his career. Otani
Speaker 7: makes it one nothing with the third career home run
Speaker 7: off of Tomoyuki Sugano. Three two pitch wave in a miss,
Speaker 7: strike three way out in front of the sweeper was
Speaker 7: rumfield and O'tani has his seventh strikeout, swinging a fly
Speaker 7: ball to right field.
Speaker 8: And calls under it and he makes the catch.
Speaker 7: Six no hit innings for show Hey Otani.
Speaker 6: Well show hey Otani with the leadoff home run in
Speaker 6: the first inning on Wednesday, his twenty eighth career leadoff
Speaker 6: home run his fourth season, coming exactly one week after
Speaker 6: he went deep on the first pitch of the game
Speaker 6: before throwing five Indians of three hit ball against the
Speaker 6: Padres in San Diego. Well show hey the pitcher. On Wednesday,
Speaker 6: he allowed just one run on a walk that came
Speaker 6: around to score on an RBI ground out seven strikeouts
Speaker 6: four walks total. For show Hey didn't have a complete
Speaker 6: command of his pitches, but he got the win, left
Speaker 6: with the no hitter after six Indians. He improved a
Speaker 6: five and two on this season and lowered as I
Speaker 6: had a zero point eight two.
Speaker 4: Just ridiculous. And afterwards show Hey talk with the media.
Speaker 2: Show when you look at just how you were able
Speaker 2: to navigate through the Rockies lineup, what did you find
Speaker 2: just being the biggest challenge and how you were able
Speaker 2: to get through it.
Speaker 10: Today Nayotoba makotos I was just battling the lack of
Speaker 10: command I had throughout the night.
Speaker 11: We have situations like this, what is the biggest focus
Speaker 11: for you and how you kind of went to say
Speaker 11: their stay in the zone or be efficient to try
Speaker 11: to as you were able to get their six innings
Speaker 11: of work, you know, being even negated.
Speaker 4: My musket chose to not.
Speaker 12: Listening up defenso given though.
Speaker 10: The least, yeah, I have to give credit to our defense.
Speaker 10: They really you know, set the tone today Again, just
Speaker 10: command was off and just I just felt like I
Speaker 10: was battling the the lack.
Speaker 4: Of it and the frustration.
Speaker 5: So this is being most animated or frustrated that you've
Speaker 5: seen me lately on the mountain?
Speaker 10: What late, what led into some of that monistration fustration
Speaker 10: got me?
Speaker 1: It's done to listen them out.
Speaker 12: Recognized too that there wasn't taking the skill not I mean,
Speaker 12: they are topments, just way too many walks, and of
Speaker 12: course you want to avoid the hits.
Speaker 10: But the result of that was a lot of walks today,
Speaker 10: and that's something that I just I don't really want to.
Speaker 12: Do despite the command issues that could kind of have
Speaker 12: the last couple of games.
Speaker 8: I was probably taking a kind of success.
Speaker 1: You had the results you had the last two.
Speaker 10: Games demo.
Speaker 12: Quote us, and I do know what it might uno.
Speaker 10: The takeaway if any of the positive is that they
Speaker 10: didn't really have me hard hits. And that's something I'm
Speaker 10: gonna you know, that's the positive.
Speaker 11: If I could have finish off.
Speaker 10: That non.
Speaker 4: Listen so you.
Speaker 12: Uh, JUVENI not to you good as to walk take another.
Speaker 10: And the bullpen has been just consistent, done a great
Speaker 10: job all year round. And I think we're setting the
Speaker 10: tone to where as long as we have the lead
Speaker 10: by the seventh we can just you know, hand the
Speaker 10: baton and and you know, win the game. So in
Speaker 10: that sense, the really the only job for us to
Speaker 10: do is make sure we have the lead in the
Speaker 10: seventh offensively and Uh as a starting pitcher.
Speaker 6: There's show Hey TONI post game on Wednesday Dodgers Baseball
Speaker 6: brought to you by Cars for Kids Donate now Cars
Speaker 6: for Kids dot Org. Still the con here on Dodgers

Speaker 4: All currently on the IL. All right.
Speaker 6: Dodgers coming off a win against the Rockies on Wednesday
Speaker 6: Night show, Hey Otani six no hit Indians hit a
Speaker 6: home run, as did Freddie Freeman, and afterwards caught off
Speaker 6: with David Vasse.
Speaker 8: Did you feel like you guys were gonna get that
Speaker 8: no hitter?
Speaker 13: I thought so, But getting a no hitter in the
Speaker 13: big league is hard, and our pitchers were great tonight
Speaker 13: one hit just a fantastic doll all the way around.
Speaker 8: Freddie seventh inning no hitter was still intact.
Speaker 5: You made an incredible pick on that double play ball
Speaker 5: in the dirt on a play like that, I mean, what,
Speaker 5: what are you thinking?
Speaker 8: Is the no hitter in the back of your mind? No,
Speaker 8: it wasn't.
Speaker 13: I was just I closed my eyes and tried to
Speaker 13: pick it. Uh, you know, those are those are kind
Speaker 13: of do or die ones. And Max made a great play,
Speaker 13: movie made a great turn. So you're just trying to
Speaker 13: catch the ball at first base, and thankfully I did.
Speaker 5: When you saw the home run the other night, it
Speaker 5: was the same pitch that was thrown to a Tani tonight. Sigano,
Speaker 5: you guys both hit home runs. How much of the
Speaker 5: way he pitches, though, Tani? Is he pitching Freddy Freeman?
Speaker 13: Well, I need him to hit a home run every
Speaker 13: time then so I could start hitting home runs together.
Speaker 13: But I mean, I hope everyone realizes what just an
Speaker 13: incredible thing. This is to watch as a fan of baseball.
Speaker 13: To see someone doing what show he's doing on the
Speaker 13: mound in the batter's box, day in and day out.
Speaker 13: It's special. I'm happy he's on our side. But man,
Speaker 13: what a treat to be able to watch Tony play baseball.
Speaker 5: Hey, what a treat to watch Freddie Freeman play baseball.
Speaker 5: Four and a half game lead, Freddy no doubles tonight, though.
Speaker 13: It's okay, may or recount. We're counting division leads and
Speaker 13: pay David. All right, thanks for stopping Freddie.
Speaker 8: David.
Speaker 6: Here's Freddie Freeman after the Dodgers sweep of the Colorado Rockies.
Speaker 6: Dodgers almost had a no hit bid, a combined no hitter,
Speaker 6: it would be, but the Dodgers end up with a
Speaker 6: one hitter in a four to one win over Colorado.
Speaker 6: When we continue here on Dodgers on Deck, we'll check
Speaker 6: in with David Vassay as we get you the latest
Speaker 6: leading up to first pitch Dodgers and Phillies. I'm Tim Katson.
Speaker 6: This is the back to back World Series champion Dodgers
Speaker 6: Audio Network.

Speaker 6: Alex VESSI a babblehead night, Justin Robleski's Zach Wheeler.
Speaker 4: The pitching matchup.
Speaker 6: We'll dive deeper into the numbers. Coming up in just
Speaker 6: a little bit. First pitch at seven to fifteen. Dodgers
Speaker 6: Baseball brought to you by l Potel, born in LA
Speaker 6: and made for your game day. L Potel brings authentic
Speaker 6: Mexican sylen Tomatos, sauces and hot sauces right to your
Speaker 6: table Alpato Gourmet in a can.
Speaker 1: Joining Tim Kats on Dodgers on Tech.
Speaker 8: I accept everybody for who they are.
Speaker 1: This is Dodger insider David Basse.
Speaker 4: All right, DV lots to get to.
Speaker 6: We'll shut off with last night Dodger Talk, an off
Speaker 6: night version here on a FI seventy LA Sports and
Speaker 6: yet a chance to catch up with Adrian Gonzalez.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and Adrian was very candid with his answer when
Speaker 5: I asked him about Kyle Tucker and what he thinks
Speaker 5: about his first couple of months in this uniform with
Speaker 5: the expectations of signing the largest single season contract this
Speaker 5: side of show.
Speaker 8: Heo Tani.
Speaker 5: Here's what he had to say about the expectations fans
Speaker 5: should have for Kyle Tucker.
Speaker 14: You know, I think he obviously got off to a
Speaker 14: slow start, but he's starting to pick it up. He's
Speaker 14: starting to have his his games where he shows, you know,
Speaker 14: the type of player he is. I really feel like
Speaker 14: he's going to continue to show and get better as
Speaker 14: the season goes on. And you know, a guy like Tucker,
Speaker 14: you bring him in so he can get that big,
Speaker 14: big hit or two in the playoffs that you're gonna need. So,
Speaker 14: you know, when when we sign him and people were
Speaker 14: like super excited, I was like, well, what do you
Speaker 14: expect out of him? And a lot of the expectations
Speaker 14: were a little too much in my opinion. You know,
Speaker 14: they were thinking, oh, we're gonna get a guy that
Speaker 14: hits close to three hundred with thirty five homers and
Speaker 14: one hundred and twenty rblse. I was like, I don't
Speaker 14: think you're gonna get that out of him. I think
Speaker 14: you're gonna get, you know, a guy that hit protects
Speaker 14: your lineup, sits in the middle of the order and
Speaker 14: comes up with some big hits and uh, and so
Speaker 14: for me, I think obviously he got off to this
Speaker 14: little start, but I think he's starting to show who
Speaker 14: he is and what we need out of him.
Speaker 5: I mean it feels like, obviously the salary for one
Speaker 5: year is astronomical, but how unfair is that to him
Speaker 5: to say, well, you're making that, so you should do X,
Speaker 5: Y and Z, when that's something he's never done in
Speaker 5: his career.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 14: I think last year he got up to a great start,
Speaker 14: which made people feel that way, but then you know,
Speaker 14: he had a few injuries. The salary is a big number,
Speaker 14: and so like that is a part that you have
Speaker 14: to pay a pay attention to. But to me, you know,
Speaker 14: he is an all star, he is a great player.
Speaker 14: But I would not put that kind of pressure to
Speaker 14: say you need to go out there and hit three
Speaker 14: hundred with thirty five and one twenty on him, like
Speaker 14: that's that's that's that's putting a little too much expectations there.
Speaker 14: I think he's he's a great to to eighty with
Speaker 14: with twenty five homers and a hundred RBI guy and
Speaker 14: if he if you can put your mind on that,
Speaker 14: I think you'll enjoy the player he is and what
Speaker 14: he brings to the table, playing great defense, running the
Speaker 14: bases right, being a great teammate, and helping the team
Speaker 14: win another championship.
Speaker 5: So Adrian Gonzalez, I think, really laid it out pretty
Speaker 5: well there. Tim Kyle Tucker is who he is. He's
Speaker 5: not going to turn into Barry Bonds just because the
Speaker 5: Dodgers signed him to a one year, big time contract.
Speaker 5: He's going to be a really nice, complimentary piece. And
Speaker 5: we're starting to see that he's not chasing the first
Speaker 5: pitch of every at bat.
Speaker 8: He's starting to settle in. He also is taking a
Speaker 8: lot of walks.
Speaker 5: Is on base percentage the last twenty games is at
Speaker 5: a four hundred clip. So he is turning into the
Speaker 5: guy the Dodgers had seen play the majority of his
Speaker 5: career with the Astros. He's not hitting second anymore. He's
Speaker 5: hitting cleanup or fifth like he is tonight, hitting behind
Speaker 5: Mookie Betts. So that's who Kyle Tucker is, and I
Speaker 5: feel like fans just need to wrap their heads around
Speaker 5: that and accept that he's a really good player. But
Speaker 5: he's not Barry Bonds. He's not Sho Hao Tani, he's
Speaker 5: not Jon Soto.
Speaker 6: David is brought to you by Ford here for those
Speaker 6: who build America, especially with those who believe that giving
Speaker 6: everything today will pay off tomorrow, those who will drive
Speaker 6: America forward for two hundred and fifty years to come
Speaker 6: American value. For American values, go to your Southern California
Speaker 6: Ford Dealers today or by Ford.
Speaker 4: Now dot com.
Speaker 6: All right, David Taoscar Hernandez officially goes to the injured
Speaker 6: list of the hamstring.
Speaker 4: So what's the plan now for left field?
Speaker 5: Well, right now, it's going to be Alex Call and
Speaker 5: Ryan Ward. Ryan Ward was called up with tail going
Speaker 5: on the il tonight. Alex Call is in left field
Speaker 5: and Ryan Ward is here. So you got a righty
Speaker 5: lefty type platoon going out there in left field. And
Speaker 5: Alex Call has had a really nice season in limited opportunities.
Speaker 5: He's hitting six for twelve against lefties this year. That's
Speaker 5: better than any other right handed hitter on the Dodgers roster.
Speaker 5: And we'll see what he can do against a tough
Speaker 5: right hander like Zach Wheeler Tonight, later in the show
Speaker 5: to him, we sat down with Dave Roberts and he
Speaker 5: kind of laid out the plan for Call and Ward
Speaker 5: moving forward.
Speaker 6: All right, the Dodgers made a roster move and that
Speaker 6: was sending Haysan Kim back to TRIPLEA.
Speaker 4: That means Santiago Espinal is back.
Speaker 5: Yeah, And it wasn't as linear as you may think. Yes,
Speaker 5: Espinal did clear waivers, but he elected for free agency,
Speaker 5: so the Dodgers and Espinal had to come to terms
Speaker 5: on a new contract, not the same one that he
Speaker 5: agreed to in spring training, and if he made the
Speaker 5: major league roster, So that was kind of the delay
Speaker 5: in announcing it. We saw Espinal earlier today taking part
Speaker 5: in life batting practice against Jack Dryer, but the move
Speaker 5: was not official at that point in time. And in
Speaker 5: some ways, look, I know, Santiago Espinal is a right
Speaker 5: handed role player, but a very important one for the
Speaker 5: Dodgers because with Keik Hernandez back on the IL, Espinal
Speaker 5: goes back to the role that the Dodgers had for
Speaker 5: him coming out of spring training, and that is being
Speaker 5: a backup right handed third basement for the Dodgers. And
Speaker 5: Maximunth sees the right wrist. Yes, he's playing, but I
Speaker 5: have to imagine that it's still sore.
Speaker 4: David.
Speaker 6: The last time we saw the Philadelphia Phillies. They were
Speaker 6: getting walked off the field at extra Inny his last
Speaker 6: October and here they are back a new manager.
Speaker 11: Yeah.
Speaker 8: Don Mattingley's back.
Speaker 5: How about that, Tim, And he's twenty eight since taking
Speaker 5: over the Phillies. It was kind of interesting. His boss
Speaker 5: GM of the Phillies, Preston Mattinglee, were talking before Donnie
Speaker 5: came out of the dugout and they have a great relationship.
Speaker 5: Don Mattingley really reports to Dave Dombrowski directly, but obviously
Speaker 5: Preston is a baseball mind that everybody around baseball respects,
Speaker 5: including his dad.
Speaker 8: So he had a smile on his face. He was
Speaker 8: moving around really well.

Speaker 2: And now joined by David Bassey, here's La Dodgers broadcaster
Speaker 2: and World Series champion Dodger Rick Monday.
Speaker 5: Rick, the Dodgers are back at Harness, as you like
Speaker 5: to say, against the Phillies tonight.
Speaker 8: A lot of subplots to this series.
Speaker 3: Well, a lot of subplots and maybe some bad feelings
Speaker 3: left over from last year and on how the Phillies
Speaker 3: lost to the Dodgers in the playoffs. And again this
Speaker 3: is the other part two is and not to discount
Speaker 3: some of the clubs had been in. I mean, obviously
Speaker 3: we can talk about the Rockies. The Rockies and you
Speaker 3: know they're trying to survive in the Western Division. But
Speaker 3: this is a very good matchup. Who did not take
Speaker 3: the Phillies for granted even though you look at the
Speaker 3: standings you say, hey, look, the Atlanta Brains are leading
Speaker 3: the Eastern Division by eight and a half games in
Speaker 3: front of the Phillies. Well, the Phillies have been we
Speaker 3: of the hottest teams in baseball over the last number
Speaker 3: of days on the road. In particular, they had been
Speaker 3: lights out on the road, including seven in a row
Speaker 3: in the win column, and ten of the last eleven
Speaker 3: on the road.
Speaker 11: Have been in the win column.
Speaker 5: I'm sure you've been on some teams where the manager
Speaker 5: was allowed to depart unwillingly during the season.
Speaker 8: Rob Thompson was fired earlier.
Speaker 3: This he said, allowed to part unwillingly, unwillingly. Yeah, that's
Speaker 3: called getting the boot. Well, since Don Madley's one boot,
Speaker 3: maybe both of them. I was trying to soften the blow.
Speaker 1: It didn't work.
Speaker 11: It did not work.
Speaker 3: You're going to talk to Don Mattingly tomorrow correct on
Speaker 3: the pregame show.
Speaker 8: That's right, And the Phillies are twenty and eight since
Speaker 8: he took over.
Speaker 3: So when is the last time a manager was hired
Speaker 3: by a son.
Speaker 8: Yeah, exactly, exactly.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because of those that are one drinkers at Don's,
Speaker 3: the son is now the general manager of the Philadelphia Phillies.
Speaker 11: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Part of the same draft class as Clayton Kershaw by
Speaker 5: Logan White.
Speaker 8: So that's how far back Preston Mattically goes.
Speaker 11: And that is happening.
Speaker 3: But for Philadelphia coming on and yeah, part of the
Speaker 3: big deal and we're going to see it tonight and
Speaker 3: see how it unfold.
Speaker 11: Because as Zach Wheeler has.
Speaker 3: Been right on the money, he's undefeated on the road
Speaker 3: in four games, he's three and over. Then ERA is
Speaker 3: under one and a half. And for Philadelphia, if we
Speaker 3: look at what they've done on the road, a lot
Speaker 3: of it is on the fact the shoulders of the
Speaker 3: starting pitchers because having one ten of eleven on the road,
Speaker 3: the starters are eight and over an ERA of one
Speaker 3: point five to six. They have not allowed many hints
Speaker 3: and subsequently they have not allowed many runs to be
Speaker 3: scored against him when they're away from Philadelphia.
Speaker 8: Won't be easy tonight against that very easy.
Speaker 11: Everyone could do it, David.
Speaker 5: That's true, Rick, But I think the Dodgers are up
Speaker 5: for this series a playlight playoff like atmosphere at Dodgers Stadium,
Speaker 5: and I'm interested to see how the platoon of Alex
Speaker 5: carl and Ryan Ward will play out for the next
Speaker 5: three week.
Speaker 3: And for those that maybe missed it, ti Oscar Hernandez
Speaker 3: another one of the Dodgers that goes on the injured
Speaker 3: list with a hamstring After kick, Hernanaz came back and
Speaker 3: played just one plus the second game and had to
Speaker 3: come out because of the oblique. So yeah, there's a
Speaker 3: lot of trans transportation that's been provided for some players.
Speaker 4: Transportation.
Speaker 3: How about Santiego Espinaut He was a designated for assignment
Speaker 3: by the Dodgers ten days ago. He was not claimed,
Speaker 3: so the Dodgers have not only resign him. He is here,
Speaker 3: he's in uniform and takes over a spot and he's
Speaker 3: a you know, he's a serviceable guy that can play
Speaker 3: different positions.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and I guess Brandon Gomes, the Dodgers GM, said
Speaker 5: that Espinal had not left Los Angeles and it was
Speaker 5: convenient for him to come back, and certainly the Dodgers
Speaker 5: need him.
Speaker 3: How about to turn around because you and I also
Speaker 3: discussed when KK Hernanas took the spot on the roster
Speaker 3: at Espinol. Then Espinol is dfad and who would have
Speaker 3: thought a day and a half later that we would
Speaker 3: have kk Hernandez was injured, but Espinal had to still
Speaker 3: wait to see if he's going to clear waivers.
Speaker 8: Always musical chairs, and Major League Baseball.
Speaker 3: Is speaking of musical chairs. Would you mind moving over?
Speaker 3: We've got someone else coming in.
Speaker 8: Okay, thanks Rick.
Speaker 11: That glad to see you.
Speaker 8: By the way, thanks for softening the blow. We'll send
Speaker 8: it back to you in the studio.
Speaker 4: Tim, all right, thanks a lot, DV. Thank you, Moe.
Speaker 6: Dodgers Baseball. It's presented by uniclow Field at Dodgers Stadium.
Speaker 6: Is at uniclone dot com. Slash us still to come
Speaker 6: here on Dodgers on Deck. Rick will be back with
Speaker 6: Charlie Steiner. Get to those keys to the game. We'll
Speaker 6: previous pitching matchup, but up next we go high and
Speaker 6: tight with the Dodger manager, Dave Roberts.
Speaker 4: That's next, Dodgers, Phillies, lean you up to first pitch.
Speaker 6: I'm Tim Kaytes's the back to back World Series champion
Speaker 6: Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 2: As we were saying, this is Marongo Casino. Dodgers on
Speaker 2: Deck on the official home of La Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 6: Leading up to Dodgers and Phillies on this Friday night,
Speaker 6: Justin Robleski and Zach Wheeler, the pitching matchup Star Wars
Speaker 6: is back on the big screen. Witness the return of
Speaker 6: the Mandalorian, the feared bounty hunter and Grogo, his powerful
Speaker 6: child is a face off against the Empire at a thrilling,
Speaker 6: high stake Star Wars adventure starring Pedro Pascal and Sigourney Weaver.
Speaker 6: Star Wars the Mandalorian and Grogo now playing only in theaters.
Speaker 6: And I, well, we know the force is strong with
Speaker 6: this one, David VA.
Speaker 2: And now what will likely be vass a fielding insults
Speaker 2: from a Dodger player.
Speaker 4: It's an engagement of endearment.
Speaker 1: This is high and tight, all right.
Speaker 5: It's time for the managers meeting before first pitch between
Speaker 5: the Dodgers and Phillies. It's brought to you by Downy
Speaker 5: Hunday and our main man, Dave Roberts is with us
Speaker 5: in the dugout.
Speaker 8: Dave, thanks a lot for the time. Appreciate it now, Dave.
Speaker 15: Always good catching up with you and fresh off and
Speaker 15: off day, so I feel good, re energize and this
Speaker 15: canna be a fun series.
Speaker 5: It kind of feels weird that we're talking and there's
Speaker 5: no David Bowie Let's Dance behind us.
Speaker 11: No, I know exactly.
Speaker 15: We got some type of techno music in the background.
Speaker 15: Batting packs is getting ready to start here. So yeah,
Speaker 15: the game and all that good stuff going on. So yeah,
Speaker 15: we're prepared first series and there's no David Bowie though.
Speaker 5: The backstory on that is the final day of Milwaukee
Speaker 5: Day game. Dave Roberts comes out to touch his players,
Speaker 5: hang out with his players, and David Bowie Let's Dance
Speaker 5: is playing. I never knew Dave Roberts was a David
Speaker 5: Bowie guy.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 15: It's one of those things, Dave, that when you're in baseball,
Speaker 15: you've got to like everything, And certainly the eighties was
Speaker 15: kind of my heyday. So the eighties rap, the David Bowie,
Speaker 15: the all of that kind of stuff. But then also
Speaker 15: I've gotten in the country and classic rock, you like
Speaker 15: it all?
Speaker 8: Yeah, we all know you like ice Cube too, and I.
Speaker 11: Definitely love my old school route hundred percent.
Speaker 8: All right, let's talk about the game tonight.
Speaker 5: You got Alex Freeland at second base tonight you've sent
Speaker 5: down hay Song Kim with Santiago Espin all back, does
Speaker 5: that make the roster.
Speaker 11: Just fit better?
Speaker 15: I think so, And we all love Haysong and it's
Speaker 15: just having that conversation which we had just a little
Speaker 15: while ago, was very difficult. And you know, to his credit,
Speaker 15: he's gonna go out there and leave tomorrow morning and
Speaker 15: join that OKC team so we can play in Sugarland tomorrow.
Speaker 15: And this guy just loves baseball, but he's been scuffling
Speaker 15: for a few weeks, and you know, to get Alex
Speaker 15: Freeland here to get him some runway and obviously losing
Speaker 15: Tao for at least a couple of weeks, and then
Speaker 15: to get reacquire Espinal has been great because he cleared waivers.
Speaker 15: So yeah, it's kind of a balance of left right,
Speaker 15: some outfield coverage. We got Ryan Ward here, so there's
Speaker 15: kind of been some changes. So it'll be good.
Speaker 5: When you talk about ti Oscar Hernandez, he was just
Speaker 5: starting to heat up again. How severe is his left
Speaker 5: hamstring string?
Speaker 15: It's you know, what I think from what I understand,
Speaker 15: it's a Grade one, so I think it's a lot
Speaker 15: better than first perceived. And I don't know the timeline,
Speaker 15: but from what I hear from a Grade one, you know,
Speaker 15: hopefully it's a couple two to three to four weeks
Speaker 15: and we'll get him back.
Speaker 8: How comfortable are you or what is the plan in
Speaker 8: left field?
Speaker 11: Tonight?
Speaker 8: You have Alex Call?
Speaker 15: Yeah, tonight we have Alex Call, and then tomorrow Alex
Speaker 15: will be in left field, and then I'm going to
Speaker 15: get Ryan Ward to start on Sunday. And so I
Speaker 15: think for me it's kind of like shared time, not
Speaker 15: necessarily a platoon, but shared time.
Speaker 5: For the fan out there that don't completely understand the difference,
Speaker 5: what is the difference, Well.
Speaker 15: I think the difference is a platoon, a straight platoon
Speaker 15: is when there's a right handed pitcher, you're gonna get
Speaker 15: a right handed left hand hitter, and if there's a
Speaker 15: left handed pitcher, you're gonna get a right handed hitter.
Speaker 15: Because I think that in general, that's kind of the
Speaker 15: best way to kind of navigate, you know, the matchups.
Speaker 15: But in this case, I just feel that Alice Call
Speaker 15: is pretty neutral. He handles right handed pitching, and you know,
Speaker 15: Zach Willie is one of the best in the game,
Speaker 15: and I just felt like throwing you know, Ryan to
Speaker 15: the fire against Wheelers, probably not a good thing.
Speaker 11: So I'm gonna have Alex called take these the best tonight.
Speaker 15: And then there's a lefty Lozarda going tomorrow, so we
Speaker 15: will have a platoon tomorrow. And then the next day
Speaker 15: we got Painter, so then that'll be Ryan word start day.
Speaker 5: One guy that Dave Robertson the Dodgers still have in
Speaker 5: their lineup is an all star potential center fielder in
Speaker 5: Andy pater Has. Can you explain the growth you've seen
Speaker 5: from Andy, not just from last year but from spring
Speaker 5: training to where we're at right now.
Speaker 11: You know what it's It's tremendous growth. You know.
Speaker 15: I remember a few years ago where the guy the
Speaker 15: body wasn't good, didn't love the weight room or like
Speaker 15: the weight room, the war cabits, the routine wasn't there.
Speaker 15: And now you look and everything is buttoned up. You know,
Speaker 15: everything is for a purpose. Every bad is important. You know,
Speaker 15: every pitch in the outfield is important. And he's changing
Speaker 15: games with his defense, the glove, the arm, and I
Speaker 15: think as far as you know, kind of the analytics
Speaker 15: part of things, like he's you know, one of the
Speaker 15: higher war players of value in all the major leagues,
Speaker 15: so hopefully he'll be making his first All Star appearance
Speaker 15: this year.
Speaker 11: In twenty six, how good.
Speaker 5: Was it to see him not change anything after you
Speaker 5: put him in the two spot that final game against
Speaker 5: the Rockies.
Speaker 8: Do you believe you may have found your two hitter?
Speaker 11: You know?
Speaker 15: I hope so, you know, for the time being, And
Speaker 15: I think that, you know, you can see early on
Speaker 15: the year, I tried to move him up at different times,
Speaker 15: and you know, it seemed like every time I did,
Speaker 15: he sort of pressed a little too much and it
Speaker 15: didn't go well. This time, I just felt that at
Speaker 15: that moment, I wanted to give Moki a different look,
Speaker 15: and honestly, it was a you know, process of elimination
Speaker 15: on who I think earned that right to hit two
Speaker 15: in between Shohey and Freddie, and it was clear to
Speaker 15: me that Andy was the guy. And to your point, Dave,
Speaker 15: he hasn't changed anything, and I would almost argue that
Speaker 15: he's even gotten better, because before I put him in
Speaker 15: the two, he was kind of scuffling a little bit,
Speaker 15: trying to find his way to get to mits and
Speaker 15: once he got back in that too, he just really
Speaker 15: has taken off again.
Speaker 5: Everybody's asked Dave Roberts in a roundabout way about Mooki Bets,
Speaker 5: but nobody's asked you this question, who do you need
Speaker 5: Mooki Bets to be at this stage.
Speaker 11: Of his career?
Speaker 8: And in twenty twenty six.
Speaker 11: You know what I do need.
Speaker 15: I think what I need and it's a simple answer,
Speaker 15: is I need Mooki. We need Mooki to be Mookie Bets.
Speaker 15: And I say that in the sense of you're that dog.
Speaker 15: I think that when Mookie's right, there's that little scowl
Speaker 15: on his face when he's hitting. You know, that determination,
Speaker 15: that fight, that toughness, and not the self doubt, the questioning,
Speaker 15: the over anxiousness in the box, and every single time
Speaker 15: he steps on the field, he should think that he's
Speaker 15: one of the best players on the planet, let alone
Speaker 15: on the field. And it is true that being a
Speaker 15: human being sometimes you start to question that yourselves, even
Speaker 15: if you are Mookie Bets. But for me, the last
Speaker 15: couple of days, I saw that edge again and that's
Speaker 15: what I want to see.
Speaker 11: And if I see that, the results will bet on
Speaker 11: those results.
Speaker 5: That's a great description, great need from Dave Roberts. As
Speaker 5: we get set for first pitch between the Dodgers and Phillies.
Speaker 5: Last thing for you, as show Hey, o Tani gets
Speaker 5: ready tonight to step in the batter's box in the
Speaker 5: bottom of the first inning, we may see another leader
Speaker 5: off home run. There was a great image on Wednesday
Speaker 5: night after Otani came back to the dugout after his
Speaker 5: leadoff home run, of you, his manager, not ta Oscar Hernandez,
Speaker 5: not Andy pa has having the sunflower seeds ready for him.
Speaker 5: Is that the first time you've ever been the guy
Speaker 5: throwing the sunflower seeds?
Speaker 15: I think I've done it before, but this situation, Pauw
Speaker 15: Hayes was hitting two, so he was on deck getting
Speaker 15: ready to hit. Tao was in the cage, he was,
Speaker 15: I don't know where he was. And then so for me,
Speaker 15: it was a big hit homer from show Hey, and
Speaker 15: I'm looking around the dugout saying, who's got the seeds?
Speaker 15: No one had the seeds, So then I had to
Speaker 15: take initiative, Dave, get the seeds and greet Showhy with
Speaker 15: some seeds. And you know what funny is, I saw
Speaker 15: a little smirk out of him, even on a pitching day,
Speaker 15: so I think I surprised him.
Speaker 5: Only manager out there that has that type of relationship
Speaker 5: with his players. That's the one and only Dave Roberts.
Speaker 5: Thanks a lot for the time, Dave, and can't wait
Speaker 5: to do this next week again.
Speaker 15: I can't wait, Dave. I love having a chat with you,
Speaker 15: and UH can't wait for this game to start. Let's
Speaker 15: give me, Let's give me. It's give me a good one.
Speaker 15: Let's win a ball game tonight.
Speaker 8: Sounds good.
Speaker 5: Dave Roberts has been our guest, and we want to
Speaker 5: remind you that heading into summer without a medical emergency
Speaker 5: kit is a risk. Be ready with an urgent care kit,
Speaker 5: say forty five dollars at checkout with code blue at

Speaker 2: at the pitching matchups.
Speaker 4: Brought to you by your Toyota Dealers.
Speaker 6: We make it easy, well, Zach Wheelers making it look
Speaker 6: easy this year. The thirty five year old right hander
Speaker 6: started the year on the injured list, but he's back
Speaker 6: in healthy now in his twelfth season in the big leagues,
Speaker 6: four to zero with a one sixty seven ERA, five
Speaker 6: seasons with the Mets, now his seventh season with the Phillies.
Speaker 6: Fastball mid and uper nineties sinker kerbball slider change up
Speaker 6: got them all. Making his seven start this season last
Speaker 6: time out, six shutout innings, two hits, six strikeouts in
Speaker 6: a win over the Guardians. Before that, seven shutout innings,
Speaker 6: four hits, eight strikeouts and a win over the Pirates.
Speaker 6: He's been really good this season and aginst the Dodgers
Speaker 6: in his career, three and two at the four to
Speaker 6: thirty five er. Last start against him July ninth, two
Speaker 6: years ago, twenty twenty four, five innings, one run, three hits,
Speaker 6: seven strikeouts in a win. Justin Roe Bleski looking to
Speaker 6: get back on track for the Dodgers, twenty five year
Speaker 6: old leftanders six and two with a three zero seven ERA,
Speaker 6: making his ninth start, his tenth appearance.
Speaker 4: He's been an opener, a bullpen reliever, a long man.
Speaker 6: He has done it all, and now he has emerged
Speaker 6: as a starter and a big part of this rotation
Speaker 6: here the first third of this season, but the last
Speaker 6: couple of starts have been rough. He's allowed fourteen runs
Speaker 6: over his last nineteen and two third innings. Last time out,
Speaker 6: five innings, five runs, eight hits, four strikeouts, and a
Speaker 6: loss to the Brewers last weekend in Milwaukee.
Speaker 4: Looking to get back on track.
Speaker 6: Last time he saw the Phillies in the regular season
Speaker 6: the one and only time got roughed up five runs
Speaker 6: on five hits in a third of an inning of
Speaker 6: work last year. So it's Justin roe Bleski looking to
Speaker 6: get back on track. Zach Wheeler looking to stay perfect
Speaker 6: on this season. Dodgers and Phillies were fifteen minutes away
Speaker 6: from first pitch. Keys to the game are coming up next.
Speaker 6: Don't go anywhere. I'm Tim Kates is the back to

Speaker 9: three with the Philadelphia Phillies. The last time these two
Speaker 9: teams met in the National League Division Series, Dodgers won
Speaker 9: it in four and the fourth and final game last
Speaker 9: year here at Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 8: Tonight's pitching matchups interesting.
Speaker 9: Justin Robelesker got off to the great start first five
Speaker 9: starts at an erf point fifty six, but in his
Speaker 9: last three starts, an ERA of nearly six and a
Speaker 9: half against Zach Wheeler turns thirty six to borrow and
Speaker 9: he enters the game thirteen and two thirds consecutive shutout.
Speaker 3: And Charlie, what's been problematic for Robleski, It's going to
Speaker 3: be interesting to watch tonight how it unfolds. In the
Speaker 3: first two innings of a game, he's given up a
Speaker 3: high average, He's given up a high ERA. First inning
Speaker 3: three seventy one batting average ERA six and three quarters,
Speaker 3: second inning three forty three, average ERA of above five
Speaker 3: and a half. We'll see how he unfolds the start
Speaker 3: here tonight and for Zach Wheeler when he gets ahead
Speaker 3: in the count has been problematic. He's been ahead a lot.
Speaker 3: He's allowed just a one seventy six batting average against him.
Speaker 3: And the other part about Wheeler we talked earlier about
Speaker 3: the Phillies playing very well in the road. Well for Wheeler,
Speaker 3: he's undefeated in four starts, three and oh with an
Speaker 3: ERA on the road of under one and a half.
Speaker 9: Lead the National League in batting average to sixty two.
Speaker 9: They are second and on base percentage and third with
Speaker 9: seventy six home runs. The Phillies don't hit much, but
Speaker 9: it's been there pitching that's carried that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they don't have to score a lot of runs
Speaker 3: the way that the pitching is going with the Dodgers, well,
Speaker 3: they've scored two hundred and ninety eight runs. They've allowed
Speaker 3: just one hundred and seventy eight. You like that ratio,
