Speaker 3: First pitch from Bush Stadium in Saint Louis is set
Speaker 3: for four fifteen. Between then and now, we got a
Speaker 3: lot to get to here. On Morongo Casino Dodgers on
Speaker 3: d you're gonna hear from the manager Dave Roberts, certainly
Speaker 3: not happy after last night's loss. We'll preview this pitching matchup,
Speaker 3: David Massey is gonna go one on one with Joe Kelly. Yes,
Speaker 3: former Dodger reliever, former Cardinal pitcher. He's been on both
Speaker 3: sides of this rivalry as well. So we'll hear from
Speaker 3: Joe Kelly. Last night you heard from Tommy Eman, who's
Speaker 3: played for both teams. Today, Joe Kelly, that's coming up
Speaker 3: in about forty five minutes, we got your Dodgers magical moment.
Speaker 3: We'll hear from Immett Sheen coming up in a little bit.
Speaker 3: We got your ow Tani rewind and in just a
Speaker 3: few minutes, we will head out to the Galloping Ford
Speaker 3: Broadcast booth in Saint Louis and check in with Tim
Speaker 3: Neffett and Rick Monday Well. Last night in Saint Louis,
Speaker 3: a rough start for the Dodgers. Immitt Sheen on the
Speaker 3: mound and in the first he got into trouble runners
Speaker 3: on second and third with two outs, Immage Sheen balked
Speaker 3: in a run the first run of the game, given
Speaker 3: the Cardinals a one nothing lead. Then Nolan Gorman tacked on.
Speaker 4: Moore and now delivers the three too. It's swung on
Speaker 4: and crushed deep right field. It's gone a two run
Speaker 4: home run for Gorman. It's three nothing Cardinals.
Speaker 3: Just like that, three to nothing. The Cardinals led after
Speaker 3: one inning as the Dodgers down but not out completely.
Speaker 3: In the second, they get runners on two outs for
Speaker 3: Max Mounsey.
Speaker 4: Oh two pitch and Max Wings hits a drive deep
Speaker 4: to left center field, heading back to the wall and
Speaker 4: is off the wall rounding third already as Pie is,
Speaker 4: he'll come indo score and pulling in with a two
Speaker 4: out run scoring double is Max Munsey. It's three to one.
Speaker 3: He Dodgers on the board. Thanks to Max Munsey with
Speaker 3: the RBI double as for monthly RBI number twelve on
Speaker 3: this season, his fifth double of the year. But the
Speaker 3: Cardinals got the run right back in the bottom of
Speaker 3: the third Alec burleson a home run down the right
Speaker 3: field line, just inside the fair fool as he hits
Speaker 3: it out for a four to one Cardinals lead. The
Speaker 3: Dodgers of the sack fly from Kyle Tucker in the
Speaker 3: sixth made it a four too game, but then things
Speaker 3: unraveled in the seventh inning as the Cardinals scored three
Speaker 3: more runs. They go on and beat the Dodgers last
Speaker 3: night seven to two. The Dodgers scored two runs on
Speaker 3: seven hits, but had two costly airs in the game.
Speaker 3: Matthew Libertard pitched into the sixth thinning to get the win,
Speaker 3: his first of the year. Imit Sheen pitched into the fifth,
Speaker 3: officially four and two thirds four runs all earned, eight hits,
Speaker 3: eight strikeouts, no walks, but the Bok brought in a
Speaker 3: one and then a couple of home runs. He threw
Speaker 3: ninety seven pitches, but imag Sheen gets tagged with the
Speaker 3: losses first of this season, and Guardo Nriqez ended up
Speaker 3: giving up three runs in the seventh inning as the
Speaker 3: Dodgers just could not come back. They dropped the Cardinals
Speaker 3: seven to two, as the Dodgers fall to twenty and
Speaker 3: twelve overall on this season. As the Dodgers, right now
Speaker 3: flowing around five hundred baseball the last week or so,
Speaker 3: look to get back on track in St. Louis, game
Speaker 3: two of this three game weekend series. Roki Sasaki on
Speaker 3: the mount, first pitch coming up at four fifteen, and
Speaker 3: with more we head out to the galloping four broadcast
Speaker 3: booth as we say hello to Tim Neverett and Rick Monday.
Speaker 4: Guys, tam thanks very much. Nice day here. A little
Speaker 4: on the cool side once again as the Dodgers and
Speaker 4: Cardinals get sent for game two of this three game
Speaker 4: weekend series. Cardinals winning the opener last night by a
Speaker 4: seven to two score. They are now nineteen and thirteen.
Speaker 4: They've won five straight and during those five games have
Speaker 4: outscored the opposition thirty seven to twenty. The Dodgers meantime
Speaker 4: twenty to twelve. They remained a half game in front
Speaker 4: of the Padres in the National League Western Division, but
Speaker 4: they've scored only five runs in the last three games
Speaker 4: in their first three game losing skid of the season.
Speaker 4: They look the break out of it today. Roki Sasaki
Speaker 4: on the hill. He's one and two. Michael McGreevy, you know,
Speaker 4: the right hander also one and two, the pitcher for
Speaker 4: the Cardinals, and moll That's been the question about the
Speaker 4: Dodgers is where did the bats go?
Speaker 5: Well, the bats right now are taking a nap. Not
Speaker 5: only have they scored just the five runs in the
Speaker 5: three games you mentioned, they've allowed twelve and with runners
Speaker 5: in scoring position in a three game loss, collectively hitting
Speaker 5: just one sixty seven.
Speaker 6: That's going to change.
Speaker 5: It needs to change a.
Speaker 4: Couple of guys.
Speaker 5: You know, there's been some I can't say flu that's
Speaker 5: going around, a couple of guys under the weather. If
Speaker 5: we look at Freddy Freeman last night, found out after
Speaker 5: the ballgame that actually told his manager, Hey, look, I
Speaker 5: don't know if I could go the entire game, but
Speaker 5: I'll give you exactly what I've got. He was in
Speaker 5: there for nine innings. So yeah, it's one of those
Speaker 5: areas that the bats are rather silent overall. I mean,
Speaker 5: you look at the Tiascar Herdanez the last sixteen games
Speaker 5: hitting at buck sixty for Andy pie Haz, he's cooled
Speaker 5: off the last thirteen games hitting at one eighty eight.
Speaker 5: The one guy that is really doing the job is
Speaker 5: Max Munsey. The last thirteen games, He's hitting well over
Speaker 5: three fifty with ten extra base hits in those thirteen games.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Munsey's getting it done on the other side of
Speaker 4: the coin. In his last thirteen games, Andy Piez is
Speaker 4: hitting only one eighty eight no home runs during that time.
Speaker 4: His average in the last two weeks has dropped ninety
Speaker 4: five points.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's dropped. One thing that I did see and
Speaker 5: looking earlier today about the ball clubs and how they're
Speaker 5: doing things. Defensive runs saved the DRS is the initials
Speaker 5: you look at it. The Dodgers are second best in
Speaker 5: Major League Baseball. They have saved twenty two different runs.
Speaker 5: So the defense has been there. Now the question is
Speaker 5: going to be, I think the starting rotation with rookie Sasaki.
Speaker 5: We'll talk about him a little bit later on in
Speaker 5: the pregame show. But the bats, yes, they need to
Speaker 5: come alive. They've created a few opportunities, but they've not
Speaker 5: been able to cash in.
Speaker 4: Cardinal bats have been red hot. Over the last seven games.
Speaker 4: They've had sixteen home runs. They've had homers in seven straight.
Speaker 4: He's on the Dodgers over their last ten games, only
Speaker 4: three home runs. That's the fewest they've had in a
Speaker 4: ten game span since July of twenty fourteen. So they've
Speaker 4: got a home run draft too.
Speaker 5: Yeah, And if you look at it these two ball clubs,
Speaker 5: you say, well, if you're going to balance the home
Speaker 5: runs of the power department, the numbers, you miss Mitch
Speaker 5: with the Dodgers, but for the Cardinals, they'd had home
Speaker 5: runs in seven consecutive ball games. And if you look
Speaker 5: it over the last number of days too. You know,
Speaker 5: the sixteen home runs in that span of winning a
Speaker 5: lot of ballgames, seven consecutive games on top of that.
Speaker 5: So yeah, they're fourth as far as high number of
Speaker 5: home runs in that period of time.
Speaker 4: Great thing about baseball you never know what you're going to,
Speaker 4: never know, and there's peaks and valleys and there's always
Speaker 4: a way out. And the Dodgers still with one of
Speaker 4: the top offenses in all of baseball. Dodgers Cardinals. Roki
Speaker 4: Sasaki pitching for the Dodgers. Michael McGreevy for the Cards.
Speaker 3: Tim all right, thank you guys. Dodgers going to play.
Speaker 3: Despite losing three in a row and just four and
Speaker 3: six in their last ten, there's still a half game
Speaker 3: up with the San Diego Padres and the NL West.
Speaker 3: As the Padres have cooled off, they have lost three
Speaker 3: in a row and are playing five hundred baseball the
Speaker 3: last two weeks. So the Dodgers a half game lead
Speaker 3: in the division, and we of course counting down to
Speaker 3: first pitch. Dodger fans get that game day meal on.
Speaker 3: How about Shaky's Pizza Parlor sounds pretty good right now?
Speaker 3: You can order your Shaky's Pizza Chicken and Mojo's at
Speaker 3: Shaky's dot Com. All right, coming up here on Moroco
Speaker 3: Casino Dodgers on deck, you're gonna hear from the manager
Speaker 3: Dave Roberts. We'll check in with David Vassi. He's gonna
Speaker 3: go one on one with Mariachi. Joe Joe Kelly's played
Speaker 3: for both the Cardinals and the Dodgers. We'll hear from him.
Speaker 3: Coming up, we'll dive deeper into this pitchy matchup. Coming
Speaker 3: up next though, you're o Tani Ree Ryan and we'll
Speaker 3: hear from Image Shean last night's tough luck loser. And
Speaker 3: that's all coming up as we lead you up to
Speaker 3: Dodgers and Cardinals from Saint Louis on this Saturday afternoon.
Speaker 3: Thanks for being with us. I'm Tim Kase's the back
Speaker 3: to back World Series champion Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 1: This is Morongo Cassino Dodgers on.
Speaker 2: Your home for La Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 3: Leading up to Dodgers and Cardinals on this Saturday afternoon.
Speaker 3: Dodgers in Saint Louis for the weekend. Dropped the opener
Speaker 3: last night, seven to two. Rookie Sasaki. Michael McGreevy, the
Speaker 3: pitching matchup from Bush Stadium. First pitch coming up at
Speaker 3: four fifteen.
Speaker 1: This is the Otani rewhy.
Speaker 3: Well last night. The Dodgers scored just two runs on
Speaker 3: seven hits, a couple of airs defensively in the seven
Speaker 3: to two loss. Shoey Otani at the top of the order,
Speaker 3: zero for five with the strikeout. Now yesterday, May first,
Speaker 3: and of course David Veasse talking to show Heotani a
Speaker 3: few weeks ago, said April's a slow month. May he'll
Speaker 3: get it going. Let's look back at April for show
Speaker 3: Hey Otani. In ninety five at bats he hit two
Speaker 3: eighty four with six home runs, six doubles and thirteen RBI.
Speaker 3: Also walked seventeen times with a nine three three ops.
Speaker 3: Those are really good numbers for anybody in baseball. So
Speaker 3: excited to see shoey Otani himself saying that always in
Speaker 3: the month of May he gets things going even hotter.
Speaker 3: And if you can tap on what he did in
Speaker 3: April and get take it to the next level, look out,
Speaker 3: because show Hail Tani is about to bust out. Well
Speaker 3: yesterday image she and pitched into the fifth inning and
Speaker 3: give it four runs on eight hits, struck out eight,
Speaker 3: took the loss and all unraveled though in the first
Speaker 3: inning runners on second and third where he got called
Speaker 3: for a balk, and afterwards image She and caught off
Speaker 3: while they're on Kirsten Watson in the media.
Speaker 7: Met some mistake. I didn't share that I was switching
Speaker 7: to the the stretch.
Speaker 2: I know the rule.
Speaker 7: It was just in the moment I didn't declare it,
Speaker 7: and yeah, unacceptable.
Speaker 8: And you look at just kind of what followed after that.
Speaker 8: Did it just feel like things kind of went in
Speaker 8: a little haywire there?
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean maybe a little bit, just kind of
Speaker 7: have a better execution on that fastball to Gorman. Other
Speaker 7: than that, yeah, just just frustrating. I you know, stuff
Speaker 7: wasn't where it should be. Delivery is still a little
Speaker 7: out of whack, but we're going to stay on.
Speaker 3: It all right, image She and after the loss last night,
Speaker 3: the balk in the first in and the two run
Speaker 3: home run from Gorman and gave it three in the first,
Speaker 3: ended up pitching at the fifth inning and give it
Speaker 3: the four earned runs on eight hits, no walks, eight strikeouts,
Speaker 3: a couple of home runs. His immachine gets tacked with
Speaker 3: its first loss of the year. Of course, Dodgers Baseball

Speaker 3: join us. He'll go one on one with Mariatchi, Jojo Kelly.
Speaker 3: But I'm an next your injury report and we'll hear
Speaker 3: from the manager. Day Roberts, who was not a happy
Speaker 3: postgame last night. So leads up to Dodgers and Cardinals
Speaker 3: on this Saturday, first pitch, four fifteen. I'm Tim Kates
Speaker 3: is the 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 long.
Speaker 3: Marongo Casino Dodgers on Deck continues on this Saturday afternoon
Speaker 3: Dodgers and the Cardinals Marongo Casino Resort a Spa, a
Speaker 3: Grand Slam for good times, Roki Sasaki and Michael McGreevy.
Speaker 3: The pitching matchup. We'll dive deeper to the numbers with
Speaker 3: Creevy from San Clemente. First pitch from Saint Louis coming
Speaker 3: up at four fifteen.
Speaker 1: This is the LA Dodgers injury report.
Speaker 3: Well a long list for the Dodgers. On the injury
Speaker 3: report presented by UCLA Healthy Official medical partner of the
Speaker 3: Los Angeles Dodgers. Edwin Diaz on the IL after having
Speaker 3: elbow surgery about ten days ago. Been Casparius on the
Speaker 3: IL with right shoulder inflammation. Mookie Betts working his way
Speaker 3: back off the IL with the right oblique train. Tommy Edmond,
Speaker 3: who you heard from last night with David Vass right
Speaker 3: here on Dodgers on deck, still recovering from the offseason
Speaker 3: ankle surgery. Blake Snell on the IL with left shoulder swordis.
Speaker 3: He has made two appearances on Ontario and a ball.
Speaker 3: He's also threw a bullpen session yesterday. He's with the
Speaker 3: team in Saint Louis, so that is positive news. Also
Speaker 3: positive news. Brock Stewart, who has been in the minor
Speaker 3: leagues in a ball Ontario, rapping up to come back
Speaker 3: and help out this Dodge your bullpen. Brock Stewart was
Speaker 3: acquired last year got hurt, did not help him out.
Speaker 3: In October, he made two appearances in a ball already
Speaker 3: allowed just two base runners across two outings. And then
Speaker 3: Triple A has really pitched well and back to back
Speaker 3: outing struck out nine over four to third scoreless indings
Speaker 3: in his time with OKC and Triple A. So it
Speaker 3: looks like any day now brock Stewart could be activated
Speaker 3: and joining this Dodgers' bullpen, which is a much needed
Speaker 3: arm down there. And the bully Bruce dark Radols on
Speaker 3: the il, he too is in Oklahoma City on a
Speaker 3: rehab assignment. He's gonna schedule to pitch tonight in some capacity.
Speaker 3: It to be his first time on the mount in
Speaker 3: a game since Game five of the twenty twenty four
Speaker 3: World Series. Alright, let's head back out to Saint Louis.
Speaker 3: Certainly the Dodgers lost last night seven to two. A
Speaker 3: couple of airs, did not look well on defense, didn't
Speaker 3: get those timely hits, and afterwards, here's the manager, Dave Roberts.
Speaker 9: Anything Dave.
Speaker 2: Do you questions for Dave? Dave? Can you just describe Dave?
Speaker 4: Can you talk about the pressure in.
Speaker 1: The dugouts with Dave Roberts.
Speaker 10: Yeah, I thought, uh, you know, certain guys swung the
Speaker 10: bats well. Freddie Tucks coming out of it. You know,
Speaker 10: other guys are still trying to find their way. Yeah,
Speaker 10: I mean I don't have an answer for tonight. Obviously,
Speaker 10: you know, they got big hits. There were some line
Speaker 10: drives that you know, didn't you know that we're right
Speaker 10: at guys, but you know, in total, they swung the
Speaker 10: back better than we did, and we didn't play well enough.
Speaker 8: You look at just Emmitt's first ending of work. What
Speaker 8: stood out to you in that one and honestly kind
Speaker 8: of how he was able to bounce back pretty quickly
Speaker 8: after it, but ultimately just the stuff not really being
Speaker 8: there today.
Speaker 10: I think a little bit that that balk kind of
Speaker 10: rattle them a little bit, you know, he declared, and
Speaker 10: then the third pitch he went back to the stretch,
Speaker 10: which you know, by by a rule, that's a balk,
Speaker 10: and I think he was flustered, and then you know,
Speaker 10: fast ball up and away guys it, you know, hits
Speaker 10: a homer there. But yeah, after that, I thought he
Speaker 10: settled in nicely and got back to his pitch count.
Speaker 10: And you know, for me, after he gave up that
Speaker 10: double to Walker. We was just trying to limit damage
Speaker 10: and keep the game as close as we could, and
Speaker 10: you know, Jack induced a fly ball, and you know,
Speaker 10: but again we just couldn't really push anything across tonight.
Speaker 3: All right, there's a manager Dave Roberts, certainly not happy
Speaker 3: last night after his seven to two loss Dodgers a
Speaker 3: couple of airs defensively the back as Immachiean gets tagged
Speaker 3: with the losses first of the seasons. The Dodgers look
Speaker 3: to bounce back this afternoon, though game two of his
Speaker 3: three game set from Saint Louis. When we continue here
Speaker 3: on Wrongo Casino Dodgers on Deck, we will check in
Speaker 3: with the David Vasse as we lean you up to
Speaker 3: first pitch. I'm Tim Kass, the back to back World
Speaker 3: Series champion Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 1: As we were saying, is Marongo Casino Dodgers on deck
Speaker 1: on the official home of La Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 3: He's a Dodgers and Cardinals on this Saturday, Rokie Sasaki
Speaker 3: Michael McCreevy the pitching matchup. First pitch from Saint Louis
Speaker 3: coming up at four fifteen. Dodgers Baseball is brought to
Speaker 3: you by al Pato born in La Made for your
Speaker 3: game day. Al Poto brings authentic Mexican style tomato sauces,
Speaker 3: salsa's hot sauces right to your table, al Poto Gourmet
Speaker 3: 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 base.
Speaker 3: Right, dv Rokie Sisaki on the mound. Which Rochi we
Speaker 3: getting today?
Speaker 11: Well, you hope it's the one that will bounce off
Speaker 11: of last start where he threw fifty three percent strikes
Speaker 11: with his splitter. He threw that more than we've ever
Speaker 11: seen in any of his major league starts, and he
Speaker 11: threw it more for a strike than we've ever seen
Speaker 11: it before. And he actually worked with Mark Pryor in
Speaker 11: between starts to get that splitter thrown harder than more
Speaker 11: than just kind of a forkball screwball that had a
Speaker 11: lot less spin than what we saw last Saturday at
Speaker 11: Dodgers Stadium. So let's see how it looks today. But
Speaker 11: I mean, I go back to what Dave Roberts said
Speaker 11: in Denver. He doesn't know what to expect, So how
Speaker 11: are we supposed to know what to.
Speaker 3: Expect whatever happens today on the mound for rookie DV
Speaker 3: will this determine you think if he stays in the rotation?
Speaker 11: You know everybody's saying this weekend is kind of a
Speaker 11: tryout between Sheehan, Roki, and Robleski to see who starts
Speaker 11: when Blake Snell comes back and who maybe moved to
Speaker 11: the bullpen or to the miners. I actually believe Roki's
Speaker 11: in a class of himself, and nobody has fully wrapped
Speaker 11: their head around what the Dodger's thinking is when it
Speaker 11: comes to Roking and how much leash they're going to
Speaker 11: give him in the starting rotation pitching once a week.
Speaker 11: But it's conceivable that either Sheehan or Robleski go to
Speaker 11: the bullpen and are that piggyback starter for Rokie, similar
Speaker 11: to what we saw the first two months of last year.
Speaker 11: I wouldn't rule it out, but if you look at
Speaker 11: it on the surface, out of these three starters we're
Speaker 11: singing Saint Louis this weekend, Robleski was outpitched both Roki
Speaker 11: and Shehn this season.
Speaker 2: No doubt.
Speaker 3: David is brought to you by the Fort Maverick Motor

Speaker 3: Time to see Ford in a new LG. You're Southern
Speaker 3: California for dealers today. Tommy Edman, he had a chance
Speaker 3: to catch up with the last night here on Dodgers
Speaker 3: on Deck. What is the latest with that ankle?
Speaker 11: Yeah, it feels like nobody's really talking about Tommy Edmond
Speaker 11: and how important he is to this Dodger roster. He
Speaker 11: had off season right ankle surgery. He's been slow to
Speaker 11: come back, and here's what he told us as far
Speaker 11: as where he's at in the recovery from that right
Speaker 11: ankle surgery.
Speaker 12: Yeah, you know, it's it's tough. It's it's tough when
Speaker 12: you know, we're baseball players and you know, or a
Speaker 12: lot of the time we find our value and just
Speaker 12: like how we're contributing on the field. But you know,
Speaker 12: I'm trying to do everything I can to, you know,
Speaker 12: just stay part of the team and and be the
Speaker 12: best cheerleader that I can be, and you know, just
Speaker 12: supporting the supporting everybody supporting all the guys who are
Speaker 12: going through the grind and you know, hopefully I'll be
Speaker 12: a part of it soon.
Speaker 11: Have some of the young guys try to lean on you,
Speaker 11: like Alex Friedland, maybe he's Sun Kim here and there.
Speaker 12: Yeah, you know, it's it's tough. You've seen, uh, you know,
Speaker 12: seeing everybody go through the stuff of a regular season,
Speaker 12: you know, all the ups and downs, and you know,
Speaker 12: me not really not being able to to relate since
Speaker 12: I'm not playing, But you know, I've I've been able
Speaker 12: to have some good conversations with some of the guys
Speaker 12: and you know, just kind of trying to relate some
Speaker 12: of my own experiences and hopefully be a good influence
Speaker 12: and be a good leader for them.
Speaker 11: What's your therapy to try to maintain your patience until
Speaker 11: you come back.
Speaker 12: You know, it's we have a having two kids mix
Speaker 12: things a lot of easier. You know, there's not much
Speaker 12: downtime even when even when I'm I'm not playing, So
Speaker 12: I guess that's been a good part of it is,
Speaker 12: you know, just getting a little bit of extra time
Speaker 12: with the family. And you know, Eli's going to be
Speaker 12: a really good hitter by the end of my il
Speaker 12: stint because we're playing a lot of ball in the
Speaker 12: backyard right now.
Speaker 11: All right, Tim, So Tommy Edmund is not eligible to
Speaker 11: return off the sixty day IL until the end of May,
Speaker 11: and it is very unclear whether or not he will
Speaker 11: be ready to go when he is eligible to come
Speaker 11: off the IL because he is not running the bases. Basically,
Speaker 11: all he's doing is running in a straight line in
Speaker 11: the outfield and he is taking batting practice. But that
Speaker 11: right ankle has been tough to bounce back after he
Speaker 11: does certain activities.
Speaker 3: All right, the good stuff, DV. Let's time nout for
Speaker 3: the Dodger Derby, as we're just about thirty minutes away
Speaker 3: from the Kentucky Derby No. One hundred and fifty second
Speaker 3: Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs. David, who do you like
Speaker 3: in this field?
Speaker 11: I'm actually gonna let you pick first because there's two horses,
Speaker 11: so I'm gonna give you the honors to go first.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go off script here. I'm gonna go Potente.
Speaker 3: He is the number fourteen horse. I believe he's a
Speaker 3: Bob Bafford horse. He was the favorite at the Santa
Speaker 3: Anita Derby, finished second or third. But he is a
Speaker 3: guy to look or a horse to look out for
Speaker 3: Potente in this Kentucky Derby, David.
Speaker 11: Well, Okay, I was not going to pick that horse,
Speaker 11: So I'm going with the favorite renegade, the number one horse.
Speaker 3: All right, Good luck to you, DV. Don't forget Santa
Speaker 3: Anita's got racing every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday weekend admission
Speaker 3: parking in programs are just ten dollars. Every Friday is

Speaker 4: slider to the left.
Speaker 5: Tell you what you don't dare go away with the Dodgers,
Speaker 5: yarlss So what the score is? Either stay tuned or
Speaker 5: you missed the boat.
Speaker 3: Hanter Alberto the go ahead single in the top of
Speaker 3: the ninth off Giovanni Guagos as the Dodgers get the

Speaker 3: When we continue here on Dodgers on Deck, we will
Speaker 3: check in with Charlie Steider and Rick Monday. So we
Speaker 3: lead you up to first pitch from Saint Louis. I'm
Speaker 3: Tim Kase' is the back to back world champion Dodgers
Speaker 3: Audio Network.
Speaker 1: This is Marongo Casino Dodgers on Deck.
Speaker 2: On your home for the blue all.
Speaker 1: Season log.
Speaker 3: Dodgers and Cardinals on this Saturday afternoon. Rookie Sasaki Michael
Speaker 3: mcgreeby to pitching Matchuples. I have deeper than the numbers
Speaker 3: for both these guys coming up in just a little
Speaker 3: bit time now for the Verizon startup, as we are
Speaker 3: a little about about forty minutes away from the start
Speaker 3: of the game. Now, Verizon, you can lock in your
Speaker 3: low price for three years so you can save big.
Speaker 3: Visit the Verizon store today. We hand things off to
Speaker 3: Charlie Cider.
Speaker 13: All right, Tim, Game two of this three game series,
Speaker 13: and the Dodgers now have lost three consecutive games and
Speaker 13: they've scored only five runs in those three games. They've
Speaker 13: lost six of their last ten. Of course, the Dodgers
Speaker 13: with all the big names, and then there are the Cardinals,
Speaker 13: a young team that suddenly is beginning to flex its muscles.
Speaker 13: And they've won five in a row and during that
Speaker 13: period of time, they've outscored the opposition thirty seven to twenty.
Speaker 13: They've homeward in seven consecutive games, sixteen home runs in
Speaker 13: that seven game span. Mo, what do you see in
Speaker 13: this Cardinal team? Again, we've watched them over the years,
Speaker 13: but they're new, they're young, and basically, if you're not
Speaker 13: a hardcore baseball fan, who are these guys?
Speaker 5: Well, Charlie, if we go back the last number of
Speaker 5: years that you and I have talked about and watch
Speaker 5: these Saint Louis Cardinals, we have been saying for a
Speaker 5: couple of years, is that they did not resemble the
Speaker 5: fundamentally sound teams that we have seen in the past
Speaker 5: the Cardinals have put on the field. Well, that's changed
Speaker 5: a little bit, and it's certainly changed right now because
Speaker 5: as you're rattling off the numbers as far as victories
Speaker 5: and where they are, they start one game out of
Speaker 5: first place in the Central Division of the National League.
Speaker 5: They're a different ball club, different approach. Obviously, yes, they're
Speaker 5: on a roll. The Dodgers are not, and teams that
Speaker 5: are not scoring runs historically have looked lethargic. Well, Lethargy
Speaker 5: is not being confused with any of the Saint Louis
Speaker 5: Cardinals at the present time. What is surprising is if
Speaker 5: we look at the attendance last night Friday night, it's
Speaker 5: not raining. The Cardinals are playing very well. The Dodgers
Speaker 5: back to back World champions. They've had a long history
Speaker 5: between the two organizations. In the fact there's only twenty
Speaker 5: eight thousand as Ballpark, quite frankly for me, was rather stunning.
Speaker 13: Sounds like the Saint Louis fans. Of course, they've been
Speaker 13: as rapid as any in baseball, everybody dressed in red.
Speaker 13: I think they're probably trying to get acquainted with these
Speaker 13: new guys and are they okay?
Speaker 4: Are they for real?
Speaker 5: Well, they appear to be, at least for right now.
Speaker 5: But if we also look and I did some research
Speaker 5: yesterday morning, just kind of perusing what's happening, you know,
Speaker 5: attendance here in Saint Louis was down twenty one percent
Speaker 5: last year from the year before, So you know there's
Speaker 5: a come up in somewhere that that's going to be
Speaker 5: coming on. And if they continue to even come close
Speaker 5: to retaining how they're playing baseball right now. They're going
Speaker 5: to start drawing not only interests, but they're going to
Speaker 5: start drawing physical people here in the ballpark. And that's
Speaker 5: good news because if we look out down the right
Speaker 5: field line, as you're very aware, in this ballpark, they
Speaker 5: have the World Championship flags and you have to take
Speaker 5: a few minutes to be able to count all of them.
Speaker 5: They have a rich tradition, and really both of these
Speaker 5: organizations do.
Speaker 6: For that matter.
Speaker 13: What is going on with the Dodgers offensively last night
Speaker 13: four out of twenty four and with runners in scoring position,
Speaker 13: and it's one of those times where almost no is hitting,
Speaker 13: and those who were hitting the first three weeks of
Speaker 13: the season aren't now no.
Speaker 5: And as you mentioned, with the runners in scoring position,
Speaker 5: I mean you start to look at what they've done
Speaker 5: or not done to be more accurate. In the three
Speaker 5: game loss, they've scored five they've been they've given up
Speaker 5: twelve runs in that period of time. And he also
Speaker 5: brought up, you know, four for twenty four with runners
Speaker 5: in scoring position. We'll do the math for some of
Speaker 5: the people. That's just a one to sixty seven batting
Speaker 5: average against. But that's not going to get it done.
Speaker 5: Andy pi has and not delay the burden on Andy
Speaker 5: Pye's top of the order right now is not doing
Speaker 5: anything either with Otani and Freeman. Will Smith is kind
Speaker 5: of here and there. But for pa Hez, he's hit
Speaker 5: upon rough time the last thirteen games. He's hitting at
Speaker 5: one eighty eight. He's in there. Tonight they drop him
Speaker 5: down a little bit. He's hitting the seventh spot, and
Speaker 5: then hess On Kim another start at short stop. Alex
Speaker 5: Freeland will be at the second base position. This is
Speaker 5: a ball club, the Dodgers that need to get a going,
Speaker 5: not to hit home runs necessarily, but to get some
Speaker 5: runners on base and then be able to knock them
Speaker 5: in and get some scores up on the board.
Speaker 13: Tae Oscar has really been struggling. In his first sixteen games,
Speaker 13: he at three fourteen. In his most recent sixteen he's
Speaker 13: hitting just one sixty and so they're trying to find
Speaker 13: somebody in the middle of the lineup to get the
Speaker 13: job done. And again it has been a struggle. And
Speaker 13: the starters tonight for the Cardinals, Michael McGreevy are one
Speaker 13: in two, two ninety seven. Er Roki Sasaki a good
Speaker 13: start in his last outing, but he does have an
Speaker 13: eer at six thirty five, coming off Amasian's performance last night,
Speaker 13: which was a frustrating one.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I was trying to figure out Dave Roberts talking
Speaker 5: about Sasaki the last outing, because my score book shows
Speaker 5: a different analogy than maybe what Dave Roberts I think.
Speaker 5: If you put in comparative terms of what Sasaki had
Speaker 5: done the previous four starts, yes it was an improvement,
Speaker 5: but only five innings, four runs on seven hits. It
Speaker 5: took in ninety nine pitches to get through those five innings,
Speaker 5: and you start to look at it. In the five
Speaker 5: starts that he's had, you know, he's averaging less than
Speaker 5: four and two thirds innings pitch and he's only made well,
Speaker 5: here's the deal. He's only thrown sixty percent of his
Speaker 5: pitches for strikes, and that is too low at the
Speaker 5: big league level. Is giving the opposing team too many
Speaker 5: looks at different pitches' you're delivering home.
Speaker 13: Dodgers trying to right their ship today after losing three
Speaker 13: consecutive games against the cardinal team that's playing very, very well,
Speaker 13: and they wrap it up tomorrow. Then after the game
Speaker 13: tomorrow they fly off to Houston for three before coming
Speaker 13: back to Dodger Stadium, and so tonight or at least
Speaker 13: this afternoon, Sasaki find up flex his muscle. Let's see
Speaker 13: what he's got. One in two is six thirty five
Speaker 13: er gone against McGreevy. Tim, all right, thank you, Charlie.

Speaker 3: Dodgers Cardinals. Rouki Sasaki on the mound, Game two of
Speaker 3: the three game set Dodgers Baseball, brought to you by
Speaker 3: and Shaky's Pizza Parler, the official pizza partner of the
Speaker 3: Dodgers audio broadcast. When it's game night, it's group night
Speaker 3: at Shaky's dot Com.
Speaker 1: And now what will likely be vasse fielding insults from
Speaker 1: a Dodger player.
Speaker 3: It's an engagement of endearment.
Speaker 2: This is high and tight.
Speaker 11: Well, since the Dodgers are in Saint Louis, I thought
Speaker 11: it would be a great time to revisit with our
Speaker 11: man that is the king of the Inland Empire, the
Speaker 11: man that has won two World Series championships with the
Speaker 11: Dodgers and is still a cult hero, the one and
Speaker 11: only Mariachi. Joe Kelly, how you buddy. Everything's great, everything's great.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 11: You know what bugs me, Joe about Saint Louis and
Speaker 11: the Cardinals. They always say it's the Cardinals way to
Speaker 11: play baseball. It feels like the Dodgers are doing a
Speaker 11: pretty good job of doing Dodger baseball.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I think it was.
Speaker 14: I think it's like, you know, when you get one
Speaker 14: of those cool nicknames, they're like, oh, how'd you get
Speaker 14: that nickname? And it was like, you know, self.
Speaker 9: Proclaimed and it's like, you don't want.
Speaker 14: To tell anybody like how you got that cool nickname?
Speaker 13: You know.
Speaker 14: I think the Dodgers if they would start saying the Dodgerway,
Speaker 14: and they'd be like, who said that? And you can
Speaker 14: just take something up, be like, oh, the Cardinal fans
Speaker 14: told us it's a Dodger Way, and then then you
Speaker 14: can write a whole book or a movie what everyone
Speaker 14: do about it.
Speaker 11: I don't feel like Joe Kelly would fit into that
Speaker 11: box the Cardinals try to say everybody fit into.
Speaker 14: I think that's why I got traded, Bro.
Speaker 9: I was only there for two and a half years
Speaker 9: because I don't.
Speaker 14: I don't necessarily think I was the Cardinals way now,
Speaker 14: looking back at it.
Speaker 11: You are not very Saint Louis, that's true, But I
Speaker 11: do love Saint Louis food, so I tried.
Speaker 9: You know, that's one thing I do miss.
Speaker 14: If I was doing a job like yours, what do
Speaker 14: you what do you? What do you call yours? You know?
Speaker 14: On field talent? What is that even called?
Speaker 2: Bro?
Speaker 6: How about just you?
Speaker 1: Right now?
Speaker 14: I'd be right now with the boys. I'd be taking
Speaker 14: them out. I mean, you don't hang out with the boys.
Speaker 14: The boys don't like you, but I'd be taking them
Speaker 14: out to Papy's in Saint Louis. You know what I mean.
Speaker 14: Get the boys some ribs, some good barbecue.
Speaker 13: You nap, take a nap.
Speaker 11: After that, I ready to watch the freaking That's for.
Speaker 14: Old men like you. That's for old men like you.
Speaker 11: Isn't that what you're doing now that you're retired. During
Speaker 11: the day, you're out there somewhere in the Inland Empire.
Speaker 11: You do your thing until eleven am. Then you take
Speaker 11: a nap, and then you take Knox to baseball practice,
Speaker 11: and then you show up at a hockey game or
Speaker 11: a single a baseball game.
Speaker 14: You know what, I just go for the best teams around.
Speaker 14: You know what I'm saying. It's just they called me
Speaker 14: the they call me the Inland Empire. Drake, dude, just
Speaker 14: a front runner.
Speaker 2: Nine.
Speaker 11: Drake, you are the biggest celebrity in the in the
Speaker 11: Inland Empire. I actually told the Ontario Tower Buzzers Blake
Speaker 11: Snell's rehab start the other night was the biggest thing
Speaker 11: since Joe Kelly's rehab starts out there.
Speaker 14: Hey, let's be serious, dude, I know that Blake Snell
Speaker 14: doesn't listen who got more people to show up at
Speaker 14: the game, Blake Snell or Joe Kelly.
Speaker 6: It was a toss up.
Speaker 9: No, don't throw the toss up, dude. You know this
Speaker 9: clip's gonna air.
Speaker 14: Just just you're not gonna hurt his feelings.
Speaker 2: Dude, you are.
Speaker 11: You are a legend in the Inlampire. You have more
Speaker 11: street cred in the nine oh nine than Blake Snell.
Speaker 14: Yeah, that's true. Place. Blake Snell's a lot better pictures
Speaker 14: though he's pretty was I was just there forget times,
Speaker 14: you know what I mean.
Speaker 6: No, you were more.
Speaker 11: You were there for more than that, And I was
Speaker 11: wondering how much how much fomo do you still have?
Speaker 6: Do you have any fomo?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 14: Fear of missing out?
Speaker 12: Yeah?
Speaker 6: With the Dodger.
Speaker 14: No, And I'm I like watching, dude. It's fun. It's
Speaker 14: cool to see it from the outside.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 14: Obviously I'd like to get some more games, but I
Speaker 14: mean it's there's only so many times that I could
Speaker 14: walk past my face, you know, on the upper concourse level,
Speaker 14: and I have to say hi to the guy named
Speaker 14: David Besse. So I like watching at home. It's been interesting,
Speaker 14: you know. It's ah the thing that I that come.
Speaker 14: I was, you know, the day that I don't follow
Speaker 14: any media or nothing, right, but the day the day
Speaker 14: that show started, pitch great. But the day that he
Speaker 14: doesn't full blown hit, we scored zero runs. So that
Speaker 14: was very interesting.
Speaker 11: Okay, I'm glad you brought that up, because we we
Speaker 11: can't figure out whether or not he's all in with
Speaker 11: this plan, but it makes sense. Do you believe that
Speaker 11: you know he Do you think he understands why the
Speaker 11: Dodgers are doing this?
Speaker 6: And do you feel like he's bought in?
Speaker 14: Ooh, I can't answer for show Hey.
Speaker 9: But taking my own personal experiences, you know, they called
Speaker 9: me the show Hey of UC Riverside, even though I.
Speaker 14: Never actually played, even though I never actually took it
Speaker 14: an official at bat in college baseball. But I went
Speaker 14: in as an outfielder obviously right, and then I got
Speaker 14: turned into a picture. So originally thought I was in
Speaker 14: a two way right, I was like, oh cool, I'll
Speaker 14: just throw ninety seven or whatever that I got clocked
Speaker 14: out as a young freshman, and then I'll play the outfield.
Speaker 14: Quickly that I learn that I would be a po
Speaker 14: a picture only, so, knowing my own personal experiences, I
Speaker 14: wasn't happy, and I was not bought in. I wasn't
Speaker 14: bought in even until the end of my whole first
Speaker 14: season closing at UCR. You know, not to too my
Speaker 14: own horn, but I was Big West Pitcher of the year,
Speaker 14: I was an All American. I had the most saves
Speaker 14: in one season. I made Tmosa And even though I
Speaker 14: made Tsay, I was like, oh, maybe I could come back,
Speaker 14: and they're gonna let me hit my sophomore year, you
Speaker 14: know what I mean. So even though I was a
Speaker 14: picture only, I still I was bought in that I
Speaker 14: was a good picture, yes, but I wasn't bought in.
Speaker 14: I was leaving out hope like maybe I will hit.
Speaker 14: So that's my own personal experience. So now if I
Speaker 14: put myself in show he's mind where you know, I'm
Speaker 14: what two seasons removed from hitting fifty homers.
Speaker 9: You know, even though my batting average says I'm.
Speaker 14: Struggling at the plate, you know, when I pitched, but
Speaker 14: when we could score zero runs and once in the
Speaker 14: back I can maybe create three runs, there's a possibility that,
Speaker 14: you know, it's in the back of his mind. But
Speaker 14: he's so respectful and he's just gonna do what the
Speaker 14: organization tells him.
Speaker 9: So you know, it's hard to tell.
Speaker 14: What he thinks or what he says. But from my
Speaker 14: own experience, you know, I still thought I'd be a
Speaker 14: two way player after a season of you know, pitching
Speaker 14: really really well and callege baseball.
Speaker 11: Joe Kelly comparing his Division three UC Riverside experience to
Speaker 11: show AOTO, what's a.
Speaker 14: Respect on her side? It's a Division one program?
Speaker 6: Oh is it? Is it Division one? Now?
Speaker 14: It's still Division one? You clown?
Speaker 11: All right, all seriousness? Since o'tani is wearing your number
Speaker 11: number seventeen, what do you believe is the solution to
Speaker 11: be able to get him through a full season at
Speaker 11: thirty one years old? Now, Joe, he's not twenty eight
Speaker 11: or twenty seven.
Speaker 6: What would you do?
Speaker 11: Let him hit on the same days that he pitches
Speaker 11: and maybe give him the next day off?
Speaker 6: Would you not lead him off? How would you manage it.
Speaker 14: Just by a personal fill or a healthwise standpoint? Right,
Speaker 14: we don't know what if he's barking from, you know,
Speaker 14: taking swings and pitching, Like, what if his arm gets
Speaker 14: more tired, you know, in the past couple of starts
Speaker 14: while he's hitting, What if he's having those conversations behind
Speaker 14: the scenes, no one knows, right, So I would just probably,
Speaker 14: you know, try to be in tune with Showhy as
Speaker 14: much as I can leading up to a start. You know,
Speaker 14: if he says he's ready to rock, then I'd let
Speaker 14: him swing if something's bugging him or or maybe the
Speaker 14: swings are messing with his mechanics or you know. I mean,
Speaker 14: he's dominating on the mountain right and something you don't
Speaker 14: want to mess up. He's one of the best pitches
Speaker 14: in all of baseball, you know, American League, National League.
Speaker 14: So when that's happening, you know, as an organization, you're like, well, shoot,
Speaker 14: maybe he's more valuable as a pitcher and we could
Speaker 14: just keep him at this high level of performance that
Speaker 14: he's doing now and we'll just skip the four at bets.
Speaker 14: He's gonna get that game, you know what I mean.
Speaker 14: So if that's the case, I would, if you know
Speaker 14: that that's the reason why Show he could pitch that well,
Speaker 14: I would definitely as a as a manager or as
Speaker 14: an organization, I'd be like, hey, Show, Hey, you are
Speaker 14: the best pitcher in baseball right now, Like, do you
Speaker 14: want to mess that up? And I just asked him personally,
Speaker 14: and if he says no, they'll be like, all right,
Speaker 14: well you're not going to hit today, you know what
Speaker 14: I mean. So it just be those conversations that I
Speaker 14: have behind the scenes that no one knows. No one
Speaker 14: knows the real reason. Right, We'll never get the real reason.
Speaker 14: You know, you know how baseball goes. But you know,
Speaker 14: if it's working. You know, he dominated the mount like
Speaker 14: he is. You know, it's whatever he feels he's most
Speaker 14: comfortable with to keep that high level of performance.
Speaker 6: Joe Kelly is our guest. No introduction needed for this guy.
Speaker 11: Here's something Joe, you would have to agree though, Like
Speaker 11: you said, have a feel for what's happening in the
Speaker 11: here and now on this past homestand it's a night
Speaker 11: game and then there's a twelve o'clock game the very
Speaker 11: next day that he has to pitch the night before.
Speaker 11: You can understand in that situation, like, hey, you got
Speaker 11: to pick one day that you're not going to hit, right,
Speaker 11: I mean, that would be one of those field situations.
Speaker 14: Yeah, there's those quick turnarounds that are always good times
Speaker 14: to you know, for anybody you know, an older position player,
Speaker 14: you know, to have it like a miggy road to
Speaker 14: completely take it off where you know you're in turfs,
Speaker 14: or maybe you might pitch it or maybe an older
Speaker 14: reliever right who's you know, is good to go back
Speaker 14: to back, but since it's a quick turnaround's like, hey,
Speaker 14: might as well stay away from back to back to
Speaker 14: keep them you know, healthy down the stretch. There's always
Speaker 14: those things that go into play that that the fans
Speaker 14: won't see or or realize until you know, conversations like
Speaker 14: me and you're having right now, it has happened. So
Speaker 14: those quick turnarounds are are obviously tough. There's so much
Speaker 14: research now, there's so much you know underlying you know effects,
Speaker 14: you know, whether it's sleep, whether it's you know, my
Speaker 14: body hasn't you know, got rid of all the lactic
Speaker 14: acid yet, and I'm still sore from the day before.
Speaker 14: There's all these little things that go into it. So yeah,
Speaker 14: there there there's times to choose where you should completely
Speaker 14: have it off and and with a quick turnaround like that,
Speaker 14: I think you know, those days are obviously, you know,
Speaker 14: more easy to you know, have a conversation with the
Speaker 14: player saying like hey, this quick turnaround, why don't you
Speaker 14: just take the day off, and sometimes the player is
Speaker 14: gonna tell you, like myself, I've done them a whole
Speaker 14: career where you're gonna go out there, you know, banged
Speaker 14: up or even actually physically hurt, and you're like, I'm
Speaker 14: still gonna prove point, Like I'm I'm going to do
Speaker 14: this for my teammates. But that's what the leaders are
Speaker 14: there for. That's a doctor's for, that's what the front
Speaker 14: office is there for. That's what pitching coaches and hitting
Speaker 14: coaches there for. It's like, hey, we're taking you know,
Speaker 14: this option off the table because we know what the
Speaker 14: answer you would give us is. You're gonna play, but
Speaker 14: we're just gonna actually just not put you in the
Speaker 14: lineup on purpose, just to you know, kind of keep
Speaker 14: you away from you know, your own self harm.
Speaker 11: I'd say, hey, Joe, I know everybody loves hearing your voice.
Speaker 11: Let's do this more often, and thank you for taking
Speaker 11: the time. I really appreciate it.
Speaker 14: Thanks TV.

Speaker 3: better five innings, four runs, seven hits, six strikeouts, got
Speaker 3: a lot of raw run support in a win over
Speaker 3: the Chicago Cubs. This is Roki Sasaki's first ever starts
Speaker 3: against the Saint Louis Cardinals. Roki Sasaki San Clementi's own
Speaker 3: Michael McGreevy the pitching matchup Dodgers and the Cardinals. As
Speaker 3: we are fifteen minutes away from first pitch from Bush Stadium.
Speaker 3: Keys to the game are coming up next. Don't you
Speaker 3: go anywhere. I'm Tim Keats's the back to back World
Speaker 3: Series champion Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 1: This is Marongo Casino Dodgers on Tap on your home
Speaker 1: for the Blue all season long.
Speaker 3: Law lead you up to Dodgers and Cardinals on this
Speaker 3: Saturday afternoon. Rokie Sasaki, Michael McCreevy the pitching matchup, Game
Speaker 3: two of this three game set. Cardinals won the opener
Speaker 3: last night seven to two. Dodgers. Back at it today,
Speaker 3: first pitch coming up, being less than fifteen minutes. As
Speaker 3: we get you ready for the start of the game
Speaker 3: with the Sapporo Start Great Moments. Start with Sapporo Beer,
Speaker 3: whatever your taste preference. Soporo has you cover with the
Speaker 3: variety of crisp and refreshing loggers, including light and non
Speaker 3: alcoholic beers. Soporo good with sushi, great though with baseball.
Speaker 3: Let's head back out to the booth. One final check
Speaker 3: in with Tim Never and Rick Monday guys.
Speaker 4: Tim, thanks again. We're counting you down to the first
Speaker 4: pitcher at Bush Stadium in Saint Louis, Missouri, on a
Speaker 4: crisp evening here in early May. Roki Sasaki gets the
Speaker 4: ball one and two. He got his first win last
Speaker 4: time out against the Cubs. The Dodgers did score twelve
Speaker 4: runs in that game against the Cubs, and Roki went
Speaker 4: five innings allowed for. And he's looking to get a
Speaker 4: little better each time out.
Speaker 5: Yeah, a little improvement, but the numbers, at least in
Speaker 5: my estimation looking at the was a little deceiving. Ninety
Speaker 5: nine pitches it took in five innings. He gave us
Speaker 5: three home runs, by the way in that outing, so
Speaker 5: he's given up seven already this year. And that fastball,
Speaker 5: we saw it uptick as far as the velocity, but
Speaker 5: the fast ball itself, it's the fourth highest average of
Speaker 5: any pitcher in baseball. It's at three to ninety five
Speaker 5: against the heaters. So he needs to get the other
Speaker 5: pitches over and the Dodgers have to figure out from
Speaker 5: an offensive standpoint, how they're going to work to McGreevy
Speaker 5: because he's got excellent off speed stuff and mcgreevy's been
Speaker 5: on a roll. No decision last outing that was Sunday
Speaker 5: against the Seattle, but he allowed just one run on
Speaker 5: the five hits, and he has gone four of the
Speaker 5: last six starts allowing two runs or less.
Speaker 4: Yeah, first round pick. How do you see? Santa Barbara
Speaker 4: lives in San Clemente. Michael McGreevy, the right hander throwing
Speaker 4: for Saint Louis. One other note on Sasaki though moment
Speaker 4: he threw more splitters than he's ever had in a
Speaker 4: major league start, forty eight of them last time out.
Speaker 4: So what will we see today more or less? I
Speaker 4: guess we'll just see how it goes.
Speaker 5: I don't really know. Here's another number of the look
Speaker 5: at you know, he's thrown only sixty percent strikes. That's
Speaker 5: over his outings that he's had. That is well below
Speaker 5: the major league average. In order for all of his pitches,
Speaker 5: in particular that splitter. In order for the be effective,
Speaker 5: he's got to challenge that strikes so more often.
Speaker 4: Just a bit of rehab news too. Bruce dark Graderol,
Speaker 4: who hasn't pitched since Game five of the twenty twenty
Speaker 4: four World Series, has joined Oklahoma City on a rehab stint.
Speaker 4: So he is throwing and trying to make his way
Speaker 4: back to the big club. Meantime, it's Sasaki against McGreevy today,
Speaker 4: Dodgers looking to even up this series in Saint Louis,
Speaker 4: Tim all right.
Speaker 3: When the game is over, David Vassy's got you cover
Speaker 3: with all the postgame, including Dodger talk as well Dodgers
Speaker 3: and Cardinals. Dodgers looking to get back on track. Next

Speaker 3: the business side of baseball.
