Speaker 1: For the back to back World Champions of Baseball.
Speaker 2: One of the greatest runs in the history of baseball.
Speaker 1: Immortality is within their reach. Incredible and while others make excuses.
Speaker 3: The only reason the Dodgers are doing this because they can.
Speaker 3: They printing money.
Speaker 1: The Dodgers just can't continue.
Speaker 4: It's not fair.
Speaker 1: Are making plans.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a singular focus on controlling what they can control.
Speaker 1: Now you're inside man with the La Dodgers. It's David Basset.
Speaker 5: We are live at Oracle Park in San Francisco. It's
Speaker 5: Morongo Casino Dodgers on deck. The Dodgers trying to salvage
Speaker 5: the final game of this three game series and end
Speaker 5: the road trip on a high note today with Tyler
Speaker 5: glassnow on the mound going up against Logan Webb of
Speaker 5: the Giants. First pitch coming up at twelve forty five.
Speaker 4: Coming up.
Speaker 5: Over the next sixty minutes here on Morongo Casino Dodgers
Speaker 5: on deck, we'll hear from Dodger manager Dave Roberts about
Speaker 5: the lineup change, Kyle Tucker moving to the cleanup spot,
Speaker 5: Freddie Freeman now hitting second, and also we'll go on
Speaker 5: on one with Blake Snell, who had a successful first
Speaker 5: rehab start yesterday in San Jose. Last night here in
Speaker 5: San Francisco, show Hey Otani the pitcher was outstanding, Otani
Speaker 5: the hitter, and the Dodger offense not so much. Only
Speaker 5: three Dodgers had a hit, and O'tani was not one
Speaker 5: of them. Show Hey back doing double duty as the
Speaker 5: starting pitcher and DH on the mound six shutout innings.
Speaker 4: He was phenomenal.
Speaker 5: Seven strikeouts, scattered five hits, and certainly a big night
Speaker 5: for him on the mound.
Speaker 6: You will Smith right now, what are you going to
Speaker 6: be tolling?
Speaker 4: And it is down, You've got to block it with everything.
Speaker 6: You've got to make sure he doesn't get past you.
Speaker 7: The one two pitch he struck him out. Oltani turls
Speaker 7: off the mount and pumps his fist as he strands
Speaker 7: a pair of two out hits to keep the game scoreless.
Speaker 4: That was in the sixth inning.
Speaker 5: His final batter Casey Schmidt, with runners at second and
Speaker 5: third with two outs in that sixth inning in a
Speaker 5: scoreless tie. He used two sweepers and one hundred mile
Speaker 5: an hour fastball to strike out Schmidt in that at bat,
Speaker 5: and he showed emotion coming off the mound, seventh strikeout
Speaker 5: of the game. That was the exclamation mark on all that.
Speaker 5: As good as O'tani was Tyler Mallley, who came into
Speaker 5: the game with an over seven ELRA pitched seven shutout
Speaker 5: innings against the Dodgers last night, holding them to just
Speaker 5: three hits. Jack Dreyer came in in the seventh inning
Speaker 5: to relieve o'tani. Back to back singles got him in
Speaker 5: trouble early, and then Patrick Bailey, the number nine hitter,
Speaker 5: with two strikes, changed the game.
Speaker 2: Another one two pitch, Baily listened here to left field
Speaker 2: hit date, this ball's back and it is gone.
Speaker 7: Patrick Bailey breaks the ice with his first home run
Speaker 7: of the season, his first extra base hit, a three
Speaker 7: run homer.
Speaker 5: The number nine hitter, Patrick Bailey, down one two in
Speaker 5: the count, got a hanging slider from Drag Dryer and
Speaker 5: the Giants had a three to nothing lead.
Speaker 4: That would be the final score.
Speaker 5: In the first time this year, the Dodgers have been
Speaker 5: shut out. The Dodgers by the way show Hey o
Speaker 5: Tani over four so his on base streek comes to
Speaker 5: an end at fifty three straight games. Sean Green can
Speaker 5: exhale now somewhere in Newport Beach. The Dodgers have no
Speaker 5: time to feel sorry for themselves. Quick turnaround today and
Speaker 5: for the first time, let's check in with Rick Monday
Speaker 5: and Steven Nelson.
Speaker 2: Thank you so much, DV. Great to be with you
Speaker 2: on this pregame show and great to be with you MO.
Speaker 2: As the Dodgers finish up this seven game road trip,
Speaker 2: it's going to be a losing road trip and they
Speaker 2: need to win a day to avoid a sweep. And
Speaker 2: if you'd have been told going into San Francisco, hey,
Speaker 2: the Dodgers are going to get seven innings from Yamamoto
Speaker 2: at quality start and six shoutout from Otani, you probably
Speaker 2: would have bet that it's the Dodgers going for a
Speaker 2: sweep on this Thursday.
Speaker 3: But the offense has been dead quiet.
Speaker 8: Yeah, and you would think with those two pitching performances
Speaker 8: you're talking about, they get titleer glassnow on the mound today,
Speaker 8: you would think, well, the numbers should be better than
Speaker 8: two and four. The numbers don't always add up to
Speaker 8: who wins and who loses. Because here's some numbers that
Speaker 8: threw together this morning. The Dodgers have out hit the
Speaker 8: opponents twenty nine to twenty five. On this road trip,
Speaker 8: they have outscored the opposing teams fifty six to forty nine,
Speaker 8: and yet they have dropped four into the lost column
Speaker 8: and the sixth that they have played, And one of
Speaker 8: the big reasons is that they have just passed up
Speaker 8: opportunities to score. Talk about it very often, but the
Speaker 8: Dodgers in this two game series thus far against the
Speaker 8: Giants are zero for nine with runners in scoring position,
Speaker 8: and on the road trip they're hitting collectively just one
Speaker 8: seventy seven both the Rockies and the the Giants combine
Speaker 8: on this trip with runners in scoring position. If he
Speaker 8: had an even three hundred, that's a great disparity as
Speaker 8: far as what's going to happen under that big part
Speaker 8: in the scoreboard that says are meaning runs and.
Speaker 2: It's not just with runners and score position, just ment
Speaker 2: on base period. This Syearies, they're three for twenty two
Speaker 2: just overall, they're batting one seventeen the first two games.
Speaker 2: They've been absolutely stifled by Land and Roupe, Tyler Malley
Speaker 2: and a giant bullpen that is pitching very well. Now
Speaker 2: we ask the question on yesterday's broadcast, if I'm not
Speaker 2: mistaken moling. At what point do you consider maybe changing
Speaker 2: the lineup? Well, the Dodgers are doing that on this Sunday.
Speaker 2: Kyle Tucker is just he's not right. He's not fully
Speaker 2: there yet his first season as a Dodger, he has.
Speaker 3: Yet to break out.
Speaker 2: And so he's bumped down in the order and Freddie
Speaker 2: Freeman back to the two hole.
Speaker 8: And yet with Tucker kind of scrambling around right now
Speaker 8: with the the swing, he's batting in the four spot,
Speaker 8: which kind of catches you by surprise. But yes, Freddy
Speaker 8: Freeman batt second behind Otani, then ta Oscar Hernandez Max
Speaker 8: Munsey again well bat fifth, he's at third base, pile
Speaker 8: his patrolling in center Fieldalton Rushing with the start today
Speaker 8: behind the plate, and we'll see about his bat has
Speaker 8: been hot except for the last outing that he was having.
Speaker 8: And for Alex frielan back in the lineup at second
Speaker 8: base with Kim at shortstop.
Speaker 9: So you're kind of.
Speaker 8: Changing at least the positioning of the batting order. Our
Speaker 8: big question is going to be does Dave Roberts continue
Speaker 8: to think about changing the positioning of the batting order
Speaker 8: when Shohotani is the starting pitcher on top of it,
Speaker 8: and that's something that may get more close of a
Speaker 8: look as we continue in the season.
Speaker 2: I think they're just going to have to sprinkle it
Speaker 2: in because the Dodgers are always playing the long game.
Speaker 2: They're always getting ready for the stretcherrun of the regular
Speaker 2: season and obviously through the postseason, and you want to
Speaker 2: keep him as fresh as possible.
Speaker 8: But the other part two is is enabling him if
Speaker 8: you put him in the number even if number two
Speaker 8: spot right, you know, if you put him in the
Speaker 8: lineup in the middle in.
Speaker 3: Three, four or maybe even five.
Speaker 8: On the days that he's pitching, that does give him
Speaker 8: a little bit of a breather between coming off of
Speaker 8: the mound and then coming in not even going to
Speaker 8: the dugout and changing and putting the helmet on and
Speaker 8: getting the bat and putting the batting gloves on. He
Speaker 8: doesn't even sat down from just pitching right.
Speaker 2: And he also just he's not himself offensively yet either.
Speaker 2: He's one for eight in this series, is batting average
Speaker 2: down to two fifty eight. He's still searching for his swing.
Speaker 2: And so the Dodgers being in this position still tie
Speaker 2: the top of the division. Despite so you know, they're
Speaker 2: missing one of their big guns and movie betts for
Speaker 2: at least another couple of weeks, and then two of
Speaker 2: their other all stars and their MVPs Old Tani and
Speaker 2: Kyle Tucker.
Speaker 3: They're searching for it at the place.
Speaker 2: So all things consider the Dodgers in a great spot
Speaker 2: despite all that, because that's how much talent they have
Speaker 2: on the roster. They're gonna need that talent to come
Speaker 2: through today, get a win and.
Speaker 3: Avoid a sweep. We'll be back a little bit later
Speaker 3: DV with a key from home.
Speaker 5: All right, sounds good And as we count you down
Speaker 5: to first pitch, Dodger fans, get your game day at
Speaker 5: Shaky's Pizza Parlor or to your Shaky's Pizza, Chicken and
Speaker 5: mojos now.
Speaker 4: At Shaky's dot com.
Speaker 5: It's the Dodgers and Giants coming up at twelve forty five.
Speaker 5: A great pitching matchup between Tyler Glass now and Logan Webb.
Speaker 5: I'm David Vasse and this is the back to back
Speaker 5: world champion Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 1: Well, this is Morongo Casino Dodgers Hunting Game on your
Speaker 1: home for La Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 5: Dodgers and Giants Game three Here in San Francisco at
Speaker 5: Oracle Park, Tyler Glass now coming up against Logan Webb
Speaker 5: at twelve forty five.
Speaker 1: This is the Otani re.
Speaker 2: What he had nineteen swings and missus his first two
Speaker 2: starts combined. It was a huge up tip that last
Speaker 2: turn another two to two, strike three, call the fastball
Speaker 2: down the pipe and Adonis knew it right away. County
Speaker 2: even two and two. Here's the pitch, sway, I'm gonna
Speaker 2: miss strike three. All four outs recorded to start this
Speaker 2: game from show Hey Old Tani strikeouts.
Speaker 3: The one two pitch.
Speaker 7: He struck him out. Old Tani turls off the mount
Speaker 7: and pumps his fist as he strands a pair of
Speaker 7: two out hits to keep the game scoreless.
Speaker 5: The dominance of show Hey Otani on the mound this
Speaker 5: year continued last night with six shutout inning, seven strikeouts,
Speaker 5: no walks in a no decision. Otani this year, in
Speaker 5: four starts has an ERA of zero thirty eight and
Speaker 5: his whip is zero seventy five.
Speaker 4: That's how good he's been.
Speaker 5: And certainly if he gets to that one hundred and
Speaker 5: sixty two any market some point this season, he definitely
Speaker 5: would be in the conversation for the National League Cy
Speaker 5: Young Award. Let's check in now with Kirsten Watson.
Speaker 1: This is Kirston's Corner with Kirston Watson.
Speaker 5: Kirston Watson brought to you by Cars for Kids, the
Speaker 5: easiest way.
Speaker 4: To get rid of your old car.
Speaker 5: Donate today and your car can be picked up tomorrow.
Speaker 5: Donate now at Carsfourkids dot org.
Speaker 4: That's Cars with a K.
Speaker 5: Well, Kirston, your final game before National TV takes over
Speaker 5: the next two days at Dodger Stadium. I feel like
Speaker 5: I'm pointing the finger at you since the camera well
Speaker 5: is connected to this Dodger dugout. The bats have been
Speaker 5: a little consato, Kirsten. What have you been hearing down here?
Speaker 10: You know what I think? Right now when you talk
Speaker 10: to the guys, you're just hearing that they're frustration with
Speaker 10: the inconsistencies are having at the plane. It's like we're
Speaker 10: seeing moments and when you know, guys are breaking out.
Speaker 1: Typically on the road.
Speaker 10: The bats have been hot, but when you look at
Speaker 10: what we've been seeing on this roach. I'm obviously playing
Speaker 10: in Denver it can be a hitters park but also
Speaker 10: can prove to have some challenges. They took two of
Speaker 10: four there, but in that final game we did see
Speaker 10: things get hot, and so it was a bit surprising
Speaker 10: than to come to San Francisco where things have been
Speaker 10: a bit quieter. But it sounds like just from seeing
Speaker 10: the guys some of their emotions reactions, it feels like, yes,
Speaker 10: the Bats have cooled off in this side, but it
Speaker 10: also seems like they've been facing some really strong pitching
Speaker 10: from the Giants. Their guys have showed up, we saw
Speaker 10: with Mali yesterday, So I think for today it's really
Speaker 10: just finding ways to stay stick to their approach, stick
Speaker 10: to their true selves, and hopefully find ways to get
Speaker 10: going to find a way to pick up a win
Speaker 10: in the series.
Speaker 5: You're more in the game here than you are in
Speaker 5: other ballparks and dugouts.
Speaker 4: So are you hearing frustrations? What are you hearing?
Speaker 1: You know what?
Speaker 10: At times it is frustrations. I feel like kind of
Speaker 10: more on the back end. I think the other day
Speaker 10: in Game one was probably the first time I've seen
Speaker 10: and heard some frustration from Kyle Tucker. Alex Frielan was
Speaker 10: a little upset with himself, I think with some of
Speaker 10: the There was a an at bat in which if
Speaker 10: he had challenge, I would have overturned it. And I
Speaker 10: think kind of he realizing that it was a ball
Speaker 10: when you wanted to challenge it and not doing so.
Speaker 10: You could see kind of just some frustration with him
Speaker 10: after game one. So it is a thing. It is
Speaker 10: starting to build debt. But ultimately, these are guys, they're professionals.
Speaker 10: They know kind of they know who they are at
Speaker 10: the play, they know who they are as professional athletes.
Speaker 10: So it's more of sticking to their approach not letting
Speaker 10: the frustrations build over time.
Speaker 5: All right, We'll see whether or not Kirsten Watson can
Speaker 5: get the bets woken up today.
Speaker 3: I'll do my best.
Speaker 10: I'll do my best. We have a lineup shake up,
Speaker 10: so we'll see if that kind adds a little.
Speaker 1: Fire to it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I love it. Kyle Tucker hitting clean up.
Speaker 10: Yeah, I like it too. And I think, you know, obviously,
Speaker 10: Logan Webb's a very talented picture is kind of had
Speaker 10: the best numbers this year. But let's see if they
Speaker 10: can find ways to get to him and at least
Speaker 10: leave San Francisco with a happy flight, a win and
Speaker 10: even kind of ending this road trip. I think on
Speaker 10: a more positive note when you come to the results
Speaker 10: and how they're able to kind of finish things out.
Speaker 5: All right, Thanks Kirsten. Great to see you, and we'll
Speaker 5: catch up with you on Sunday.
Speaker 10: All right, but are you a believer?
Speaker 4: I'm a believer?
Speaker 1: Yes, everyone, we.
Speaker 10: Have quite a few. Actually, I've seen so the song
Speaker 10: here choice at the end of the game, when they
Speaker 10: the fans choose, it's been Baby by Justin Bieber. And
Speaker 10: I have noticed when I look over there have been
Speaker 10: quite a few guys who are singing Baby by Justin Bieber.
Speaker 10: So we have a lot of believers on this.
Speaker 5: Team, Okay, a lot of guilty pleasures. Nobody will admit
Speaker 5: except you.
Speaker 10: No, I've got a few. I've got a few that
Speaker 10: are willing to admit.
Speaker 9: Okay.
Speaker 10: Freddie has said he is a believer. We've got Tanter'scott
Speaker 10: not a believer. He was very adamant. He's like, my
Speaker 10: wife has been up talking about this concert and blah
Speaker 10: blah blah. Not one, but we have quite a few.
Speaker 4: Okay.
Speaker 5: We'll keep an eye on that. We'll see whether or
Speaker 5: not that wakes up the bats. Still to come here
Speaker 5: on Wrongo Casino Dodgers on Deck we'll preview today's pitching matchup.
Speaker 4: We'll go one on one with snell Zilla.
Speaker 5: Plus we'll get you the latest Dodger injury report Dodgers
Speaker 5: and Giants coming up at twelve forty five. I'm David
Speaker 5: Vasse and this is the back to back World Champion
Speaker 5: Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 1: This is MA Wrongo Casino Dodgers on Deck, who on
Speaker 1: your home for the all season.
Speaker 5: Low Morongo Casino Dodgers on Deck, continuing live from Oracle
Speaker 5: Park in San Francisco. As we get you set for
Speaker 5: first pitch between the Dodgers and Giants, Morongo Casino Resort
Speaker 5: and Spa A Grand Slam for good times. It's Tyler
Speaker 5: Glass now and Logan Webb in the final game of
Speaker 5: this three game series. First pitch coming up at twelve
Speaker 5: forty five.
Speaker 1: This is the LA Dodgers Injury Report.
Speaker 5: Your Dodger Injury Report presented by UCLA Health, the official
Speaker 5: medical partner of the back to back World Champion Dodgers.
Speaker 5: Edwin Diaz posted on his Instagram yesterday that he did
Speaker 5: have successful surgery on his right elbow removing loose bodies.
Speaker 5: His return is somewhere between two and three months Dave
Speaker 5: Roberts just said the second half of the season. Mookie
Speaker 5: Betts is on the il with a right oblique string.
Speaker 4: Good news as it per tains to him.
Speaker 5: He is starting to swing the back, which is a
Speaker 5: good sign that he's on the way to return to
Speaker 5: the Dodger lineup. Rock Stewart is on a minor league
Speaker 5: rehab assignment as he works his way back from shoulder surgery.
Speaker 5: And Bruce dark Gradol, who has not pitched much in
Speaker 5: the last two years, having difficult setbacks with his right
Speaker 5: throwing shoulder as well, sent me a text yesterday, see
Speaker 5: you soon. So that's great news if the Dodgers can
Speaker 5: get Stuart and Graderol back in the next couple of months.
Speaker 5: All Right, it's time now to hear from manager Dave Roberts,
Speaker 5: who explained the line of thinking of changing the lineup
Speaker 5: and having Kyle Tucker hit cleanup today.
Speaker 8: Question for Dave, Dave, can you just describe Dave, Can
Speaker 8: you talk about the pressure.
Speaker 1: In the dugouts with Dave Roberts.
Speaker 11: Yeah, I think it's more of just trying to uh
Speaker 11: give Kyle a different look.
Speaker 9: I think that.
Speaker 11: Obviously, you know, going through it right now and not
Speaker 11: feeling great at the plate. So sometimes you know, the
Speaker 11: different visual letting the game come to a little bit
Speaker 11: before jumping in there, and the two you know changes
Speaker 11: is your outlook and potentially the results.
Speaker 9: So that's kind of the thought. And I'm gonna stick.
Speaker 11: With this for for the foreseeable future and we'll see where.
Speaker 12: It goes with talking to the guys right now and
Speaker 12: just what do you want to see from the offense
Speaker 12: as collective as they do look to get back on track.
Speaker 12: Obviously only four hits last night, but really to kind
Speaker 12: of get back to the quality that we have been
Speaker 12: seeing through must.
Speaker 3: Of this season.
Speaker 11: You know what, I was looking at the game last
Speaker 11: night and I thought, there are there are a lot
Speaker 11: of good at bets. I thought we had some balls
Speaker 11: hard and this guy today is hard to square up.
Speaker 11: We've got him, He's got us really a lot of
Speaker 11: respect for Webbing. So for me, just take good at
Speaker 11: bets and I do think that it'll turn. It's one
Speaker 11: of those things that baseball hitting is pretty cyclical, and
Speaker 11: right now, you know, recently we're just not getting the
Speaker 11: results that we would expect.
Speaker 5: Have you gathered from Kyle that he wasn't comfortable hitting second.
Speaker 11: No, No, I just went into him last night and
Speaker 11: just had a quick conversation and you know, just told
Speaker 11: of my thoughts and he was agreeable and that was it.
Speaker 9: So you know, yeah, so that that was kind of old.
Speaker 11: But I didn't have any other feeling outside of just
Speaker 11: kind of feeling just to change it up a little bit.
Speaker 3: Did you still feel him trying to do a little
Speaker 3: bit as much and just doing this tak some of them?
Speaker 3: Just like the pressure off is I kind of work
Speaker 3: to do?
Speaker 9: You know, I do feel he's trying to do too much.
Speaker 11: It's still a prime part in the order, and so,
Speaker 11: you know, I'd like to think that it's not pressure based,
Speaker 11: but the reality is that he's scuffling right now. I
Speaker 11: definitely expect him to come out of it and you
Speaker 11: know and hit and get on base and do what
Speaker 11: he's done for many years. So yeah, honestly, Jack, I
Speaker 11: just wanted to change it up and felt like it
Speaker 11: was time.
Speaker 5: All right, there's manager Dave Roberts on deciding to drop
Speaker 5: Kyle Tucker down in the order from the number two
Speaker 5: spot to hitting cleanup. And look like Dave Roberts said,
Speaker 5: hitting cleanup is not a demotion it's just a chance
Speaker 5: for Tucker to ease into the game, and from what
Speaker 5: I've heard, Tucker really likes to see what that pitcher's
Speaker 5: got that day, and hitting seconds. Sometimes maybe he's doing
Speaker 5: what you're not supposed to do as a hitter, and
Speaker 5: that's rush to hit. When we continue here a Wrongo
Speaker 5: Casino Dodgers on Deck, we'll get into more of Kyle
Speaker 5: Tucker and the Dodgers' batting order, and also you'll hear
Speaker 5: from Oral Herscheizer, who joined us yesterday and shared some
Speaker 5: of his memories of pitching not here at Oracle Park,
Speaker 5: but at Candlestick Park, which was archaic to put it kindly.
Speaker 5: We're leading you up to first pitch between the Dodgers
Speaker 5: and Giants, first pitch at twelve forty five. I'm David
Speaker 5: Vasse and this is the back to back World Champion
Speaker 5: Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 4: As we were saying, this.
Speaker 1: Is Marongo Casino Dodgers on jack on the official home
Speaker 1: of La Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 5: David Vasse live at Oracle Park in San Francisco, as
Speaker 5: the Dodgers are wrapping up this seven game road trip today,
Speaker 5: trying to salvage the final game of this series against
Speaker 5: the Giants.
Speaker 4: The Dodgers have only scored one run.
Speaker 5: In the first two games of this series, and Rick
Speaker 5: Monday will touch on this, I'm sure, several times when
Speaker 5: it comes up, but he did show it to me
Speaker 5: last night after the game.
Speaker 4: The Dodgers on this road trip are hitting just.
Speaker 5: One seventy seven with runners in goring position, while their opponents,
Speaker 5: the Rockies and Giants, are hitting three hundred with runners
Speaker 5: in scoring position. First pitch is coming up at twelve
Speaker 5: forty five. Dodger Baseball brought to you by El Pato,
Speaker 5: born in la and made for your game day. El
Speaker 5: Pato brings authentic Mexican style tomato sauces, salsas and hot sauces.
Speaker 5: El Pato gourmee in a cam well. We talked about
Speaker 5: this yesterday and last night on Dodger Talk. The fact
Speaker 5: that shoe Heotani as a Dodger in sixty four at
Speaker 5: bats when he pitches, is only hitting now two oh
Speaker 5: three and is on bay streak came to an end
Speaker 5: yesterday at fifty three. All of that, combined with the
Speaker 5: fact two weeks ago in Toronto, Shoeotani told me that
Speaker 5: April's not his month, it might be for everybody else.
Speaker 5: You look at his numbers in the month of April
Speaker 5: over the course of his career, I would say the
Speaker 5: majority of baseball players that are in this league would
Speaker 5: take his April.
Speaker 4: But the reality is Otani.
Speaker 5: Said he's looking forward to a much better May. And
Speaker 5: last May he hit fifteen home runs that month. That
Speaker 5: was the most home runs that he hit in any
Speaker 5: month last season. So he's looking to heat up with
Speaker 5: the weather in May. Dave Roberts said it was his decision.
Speaker 5: It was the manager's decision to have Otani leading off
Speaker 5: and dhing today with a day game after going six
Speaker 5: scoreless sinnings last night, and he has been terrific on
Speaker 5: the mound. If he's really going after that Cy Young Award,
Speaker 5: he's certainly off to a great start with an ERA
Speaker 5: of zero thirty eight. Another Dodger that won a Cy
Speaker 5: Young Award is a couple of boosts down, and that
Speaker 5: is the nineteen eighty eight National League Cy Young Award
Speaker 5: winner in Oral Herscheizer. He joined us yesterday and as
Speaker 5: Rick Monday knows, the Dodgers and Giants are living the
Speaker 5: good life here in this brand new ballpark that's only
Speaker 5: twenty something years old. Because where the Giants played when
Speaker 5: they first moved to San Francisco at Candlestick Point Candlestick Park,
Speaker 5: it was not the friendly confines.
Speaker 4: And here's what ORL.
Speaker 5: Hirscheizer had to say as far as his memories of
Speaker 5: pitching there.
Speaker 13: Well, I loved Candlestick Park because I loved playing the wind.
Speaker 13: It was another element where you could win the game.
Speaker 13: And so if the wind was off my left cheek,
Speaker 13: there were other certain pitches that would do certain things.
Speaker 13: If it was off my right cheek, there were certain
Speaker 13: pitches that would do certain things.
Speaker 3: I would rather throw.
Speaker 13: A hanging curveball and have Matt Williams hit it into
Speaker 13: the wind than to throw my best pitch ever low
Speaker 13: and away and now he hits it to right center
Speaker 13: where the wind was gusting out.
Speaker 4: I always followed the hot Dog rappers.
Speaker 13: I always talked to my infielders and outfielders about the wind,
Speaker 13: and I always looked at that place as a place
Speaker 13: that even though it was cold and it was rainy
Speaker 13: sometimes and it was you know, windy, those elements made
Speaker 13: it a next level for somebody who wanted to think
Speaker 13: on how to win the game, and those kind of elements.
Speaker 4: All right.
Speaker 5: That was orl Hrscheizer, and he did his homework on
Speaker 5: not only the hitters he was facing, but obviously the
Speaker 5: conditions at Candlestick Park. We're brought to you by the
Speaker 5: Ford Maverick Motor Trends and the North American Truck.
Speaker 4: Of the Year. The Ford Maverick everything you.
Speaker 5: Need in the most innovative truck with forty two miles
Speaker 5: per gallon at the best MSRP of its category. It's
Speaker 5: time to see Ford in a new light. Go to

Speaker 6: D Who's Hot?
Speaker 1: It's time for the Hawfeing Magical Moment Ditch Magical presented
Speaker 1: by Hawfey Hot Dogs.
Speaker 5: Hey, we got to go back to a Dodger giant
Speaker 5: historic moment here. October two, two thousand and four, the
Speaker 5: final day, the final weekend of the regular season, and
Speaker 5: it was coming down to the Dodgers trying to win
Speaker 5: the NL West. They were down three to nothing after
Speaker 5: former Dodger Marquise Grissom homered.
Speaker 4: In the seventh inning.
Speaker 5: But in the ninth inning the Dodgers were down but
Speaker 5: not out as they got after the Giants bullpen. The
Speaker 5: Dodgers had the bases loaded, trying to score three runs
Speaker 5: to tie the game at three. Then still with the
Speaker 5: bases loaded, up came Steve Finley.
Speaker 3: On and one the cound at Finley.
Speaker 14: The outfield is shallow, the infield is up. Finley today
Speaker 14: is one for four, Franklin, said Wayne Ruddy, and deal
Speaker 14: swung on high fly ball the deep right field, wherever
Speaker 14: it goes. The Dodgers have one Grand Slam home run.
Speaker 4: I have always.
Speaker 14: Spelled there are no words to describe a situation like
Speaker 14: this except the roar of the crowd, and for those
Speaker 14: of us privileged to be here watching the Dodgers just
Speaker 14: about jump out.
Speaker 1: Of their uniform.
Speaker 5: What a finish, Another legendary call by the legend himself,
Speaker 5: Vin Scully. The Dodgers with seven runs in the bottom
Speaker 5: of the ninth inning to beat the Giants that day
Speaker 5: seventy three and clinch the NS. It was the Dodgers'
Speaker 5: first time back in the postseason since nineteen ninety six.
Speaker 4: Maight have times have changed.
Speaker 5: This Hafy Magical moment was brought to you by Hafy
Speaker 5: hot Dogs, Hafey Sokel's local treasure for nearly one hundred years.

Speaker 5: for first pitch at twelve forty five between the Dodgers
Speaker 5: and Giants. I'm David Vasse and this is the back
Speaker 5: to back World Champion Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 1: This is Marongo Casino Dodgers on tap on your home
Speaker 1: for the blue all season.
Speaker 5: Law Dodgers and Giants coming up at twelve forty five.
Speaker 5: Tyler Glass now going up against Logan Web. It's time

Speaker 5: Still to com Blake SNeW will join us, plus a
Speaker 5: preview of today's pitching matchup. But first let's bring in
Speaker 5: Rick Monday and Charlie Steiner.
Speaker 15: All Right, David, the Dodgers wrapping up with the Giants
Speaker 15: this afternoon heading home.
Speaker 4: They were shutout last night three zip.
Speaker 15: Having said that, the Dodger sixteen and eight, still in
Speaker 15: first place, where they've been every day of the twenty
Speaker 15: nine days of the season so far. Of course, they
Speaker 15: have company at the top with San Diego. But the
Speaker 15: Dodgers have lost four or five, two and four on
Speaker 15: the road trip, and Moe hitting has been quite an
Speaker 15: issue of late.
Speaker 8: Well, it has been very quiet, in particular when there's
Speaker 8: been opportunities to score runs. If we look in fact,
Speaker 8: on this road trip, the Dodgers, when they've had opportunities
Speaker 8: to score runners in scoring position as a team, they've
Speaker 8: hit one seventy seven. The opposing teams have hit three hundred,
Speaker 8: and that's not going to get it done. So an
Speaker 8: interesting graf also this morning, Charlie, it was talking about
Speaker 8: defensive run saved DRS is the acronym for it. But
Speaker 8: if you start to look at it, I looked at
Speaker 8: the defense in particular. You know, the Dodgers have the
Speaker 8: highest number of defensive runs saved, So the defense has
Speaker 8: not been an issue, although they not really played us
Speaker 8: crisply on this road trip with the gloves is what
Speaker 8: we've seen previously. But the big area that has really
Speaker 8: kind of fallen apart besides the offense, if we look
Speaker 8: at the bullpen of recent times. You know, the last
Speaker 8: fourteen in the third innings, they have given up fourteen
Speaker 8: earned runs and that is out of character.
Speaker 15: And they're still figuring out who is going to be
Speaker 15: the closer. Now, the story last night Otani pitching and hitting.
Speaker 15: Of course, he went zero four last night, so his
Speaker 15: fifty three game on Bay streak is over.
Speaker 3: On the season.
Speaker 15: He's hitting now just two fifty eight. But in games
Speaker 15: he has pitched mode, he's just one for ten at
Speaker 15: the plate. In games he's just a DH he's hitting
Speaker 15: two seventy eight. So that's an issue At some point
Speaker 15: the Dodgers have to take a serious look at.
Speaker 8: Yeah, and I think you know the double duty part.
Speaker 8: Here's another part too, is if we look at the
Speaker 8: two years that O'tani has pitched well in a Dodger uniform,
Speaker 8: you know he's given up just barely even a two
Speaker 8: hundred batting average against two of three to be exact.
Speaker 8: But what is the big picture, and the big picture
Speaker 8: is when he's doing double duty, does Dave Roberts think
Speaker 8: about maybe moving Otani down in the lineup when he
Speaker 8: is pitching, to give him a little breather between the
Speaker 8: mound and the batter's box, and that I wonder how
Speaker 8: he's able to do it myself, being able to do
Speaker 8: both roles. And if we look at this lineup today,
Speaker 8: it's not a huge shakeup in the lineup as far
Speaker 8: as the personnel, but is a shakeup as far as
Speaker 8: the order, because it's going to be Otani then Freddie Freeman,
Speaker 8: then ta Oskar Hernenez. Kyle Tucker moves down to the
Speaker 8: number four spot, which I find rather curious because he's
Speaker 8: not really swinging the bat particularly well right now, and
Speaker 8: Dalton Rushing will be doing the catching here this afternoon
Speaker 8: and so Smith will have the day off.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 15: Otani the picture last night, six shutout innings, no runs,
Speaker 15: five hit seven strikeouts on the season he had on
Speaker 15: the season, he's giving up one arm run in twenty
Speaker 15: four innings, fifteen hits, twenty five strikeout, six walks, and
Speaker 15: an ERA of thirty eight. So last night it was
Speaker 15: another magnificent performance on the hill.
Speaker 8: Yeah, how about the fact that his ERA coming into
Speaker 8: last night was zero point five zero and it went
Speaker 8: down in spite of the fact that you know, he
Speaker 8: went six innings no runs on five hits. The bull
Speaker 8: beIN turned it over and allowed some runs to be scored,
Speaker 8: three in fact in the seventh inning. So for Otani,
Speaker 8: I mean he is more than held up on his
Speaker 8: end on both fins, both of the starter on the
Speaker 8: mound and also as the leadoff hitter. But you know,
Speaker 8: it cannot be a one man band, and from top
Speaker 8: to bottom the Dodgers have to have better at bats.
Speaker 15: Interesting pitching matchup today get Away in San Francisco Glasnow
Speaker 15: and Logan Webb Tyler. Glasnow in his last eleven starts,
Speaker 15: the Dodgers have won every one of his games, and
Speaker 15: Logan Webb, who's the a's of that Giant, off to
Speaker 15: a slow start for him two and two and.
Speaker 4: A five forty ERA. But Glasnow is off to a
Speaker 4: great start.
Speaker 8: He's off to a great start, twenty nine strikeouts. Here's
Speaker 8: interesting effect about the twenty nine punch outs. You know,
Speaker 8: seventeen of those are on curveballs. That's the highest percentage
Speaker 8: in baseball at this particular time. And we're seeing glass
Speaker 8: Now now understand he doesn't have to throw it through
Speaker 8: the proverbial brick wall in order to get out, So
Speaker 8: he doesn't have to throw that fastball by everybody. He's
Speaker 8: mixed in the breaking ball. We saw it begin in
Speaker 8: spring trending, and he has great faith in that curve
Speaker 8: ball and should have. He's gotten wonderful results to this point.
Speaker 15: Opponents are hitting US one sixty nine so far this
Speaker 15: young season against glass Now.
Speaker 3: After the game today, the Dodgers fly home.
Speaker 4: They entertain the Cubs.
Speaker 15: They've been right hot, first of a three game series
Speaker 15: tomorrow night. Up this afternoon, the Dodgers look to get
Speaker 15: away with one against San Francisco, a team that they
Speaker 15: generally dominated even up at the Oracle Park. But right now,
Speaker 15: the Dodgers need to score. Lineups and first pitch coming up, David.
Speaker 5: All right, Charlie, great to hear your voice, and yeah,
Speaker 5: You're right. The Cubs are red hot. They lead the
Speaker 5: Phillies right now, four to two in the fourth inning.
Speaker 5: Dodger Baseball brought to you by City of Hope. Preparation, precision,

Speaker 5: I had a chance to catch up with Blake Snell
Speaker 5: earlier this morning, and now.
Speaker 1: What will likely be vast fielding insults from a Dodger player,
Speaker 1: it's an engagement of endearment. This is high and tight.
Speaker 4: We're wrapping things up in San Francisco.
Speaker 5: But our guy, Snell Zilla, the King of San Jose
Speaker 5: for the Ontario Tower Buzzers, is back with the Dodgers
Speaker 5: after his first rehab start. Thanks a lot for the time.
Speaker 5: We got a big audience here. They want to see
Speaker 5: the magic between us.
Speaker 6: What is wrong with you?
Speaker 5: They're all staring awkwardly in the clubhouse at us.
Speaker 6: Oh you're well man.
Speaker 9: No, but it was good.
Speaker 16: It was good to pitch again and be on the
Speaker 16: mound and.
Speaker 6: Just feel what pitchings like again.
Speaker 16: Yeah, it's been a minute, so to able to do
Speaker 16: that again just felt really good. And I just can't
Speaker 16: wait to get get this going and get back.
Speaker 5: How did you treat last night? Is that just like
Speaker 5: your first starting in spring training? What were you trying
Speaker 5: to do?
Speaker 6: Yeah, it was all just feel.
Speaker 16: I'm just trying to feel, you know, how my arm feels,
Speaker 16: body feels what I need to work on. It was
Speaker 16: tough because I was at the bottom of the mound,
Speaker 16: my foot was slipping, but overall felt healthy, ball was
Speaker 16: coming out good, good arm speed. But definitely a lot
Speaker 16: of work that I still have to do, you know,
Speaker 16: the location of the pictures need to get better, the
Speaker 16: movement needs to get better on the off speed. Yeah,
Speaker 16: so I saw have a lot of work to do,
Speaker 16: which I'm excited about.
Speaker 6: But just being able.
Speaker 16: To, you know, pitch in a game and really have
Speaker 16: toels and and then the more that I pitch in games,
Speaker 16: the more my arm gets conditioned, which I love, and
Speaker 16: and then I can really, you know, continue to get better.
Speaker 5: I know you demand a lot out of yourself. How
Speaker 5: patient do you have to be with this process?
Speaker 16: The first couple you can be pretty patient, and then
Speaker 16: the next ones, you know, you're you're getting ready to
Speaker 16: go to the big leagues and pitching the show and
Speaker 16: pitch meaningful games, and you know, you have a lot
Speaker 16: of things that you know that you want to achieve.
Speaker 16: So the first couple, you know, you can be a
Speaker 16: little patient with But after that, it's yeah, there's no excuses.
Speaker 16: It's time to lock in and go. But yeah, just
Speaker 16: a lot, a lot to work on still, which I'm
Speaker 16: excited about. And yeah, I'll continue to clean it up
Speaker 16: and yeah, I'm excited.
Speaker 5: Yeah, players have told me in the past whenever they're
Speaker 5: coming back from an injury, they know that they're healthy
Speaker 5: and the team is putting them out there, but mental.
Speaker 4: Lee is the biggest hurdle to just let it rip.
Speaker 5: Did you have to go through that again to just
Speaker 5: trust that your shoulder is going to cooperate?
Speaker 6: No, No, I never I never had that.
Speaker 16: I believe in like all the work I've been doing
Speaker 16: to be healthy, to be able to throw, and yeah,
Speaker 16: I don't. I don't question it when I'm out there.
Speaker 16: That's like the last thing I'm gonna do is question
Speaker 16: if I'm on the mountain pitching, there's no quite like
Speaker 16: I'm ready to go. So I feel great, the boss
Speaker 16: coming out really good, and I'm just gonna continue to
Speaker 16: get a lot better at each of these next couple starts.
Speaker 5: Blake Snell is our guest aka snell Zilla. Those number
Speaker 5: thirty seven jerseys are selling out online right now. Ontario
Speaker 5: is trying to capitalize off your one rehab start.
Speaker 6: That's wild, but happy for him.
Speaker 16: And yeah, no it was Uh, we've got some good
Speaker 16: prospects down there too, so that was fun to see.
Speaker 5: But yeah, what did you What did you buy the
Speaker 5: guys after after the game last night?
Speaker 4: Red Robin, I don't know.
Speaker 16: I didn't buy him. I didn't buy him anything. I'm

Speaker 16: better selections. So yeah, when they get back to Ontario,
Speaker 16: I have something food ready for him.
Speaker 5: All right, before I let you go, the world saw

Speaker 16: I left, me and my wife wanted to go see
Speaker 16: Justin Bieber So. I went rehabs. Then we had a
Speaker 16: sprinter take us to Coachella. I have no idea where
Speaker 16: that's at. We went there. We were there for six hours.
Speaker 16: We saw a give you on Justin Bieber, and then
Speaker 16: we had that spinner van take us back. I was
Speaker 16: there for six hours and then.
Speaker 4: While I was in Denver with the team.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, oh yeah, because I would have been with
Speaker 6: the team. Oh wait, I can't travel with the team. Yeah.
Speaker 16: And then and then from there, I then went to
Speaker 16: the field the next morning at nine am and I
Speaker 16: threw a bullpen.
Speaker 6: So my work life balance is really good.
Speaker 4: Look, I'm not trying to question your life decisions here.
Speaker 4: I'm not trying to hall monitor you here.
Speaker 5: I'm just trying to figure out why you would be
Speaker 5: at Coachella.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm a believer for sure. Oh my god. Yeah. Okay,
Speaker 6: who doesn't like Justin Bieber?
Speaker 16: You don't like Justin Bieber. That's the problem. See, that's
Speaker 16: the problem here. You don't have good music taste.
Speaker 4: Okay, I'll own that one. Thanks a lot.
Speaker 5: I love your music taste, but the Justin Bieber stuff
Speaker 5: a little questionable.
Speaker 16: No, it's questionable because you haven't listened to it yet.

Speaker 5: Field at Dodger Stadium. Visit uniclo dot com slash us.
Speaker 5: When we continue from Oracle Park in San Francisco, we'll
Speaker 5: get you set for first pitch coming up at twelve
Speaker 5: forty five. I'm David Vasse and this is the back
Speaker 5: to back world champion Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 1: This is Morongo Casino Dodgers Hunt on your home for
Speaker 1: La Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 5: We are getting closer to first pitch coming up at
Speaker 5: twelve forty five between the Dodgers and Giants. David Vasse
Speaker 5: live at Oracle Park in San Francisco. Rick Monday and
Speaker 5: Steven Nelson will be on the call. We're brought to
Speaker 5: you by your Toya Dealers. We make it easy. Well,
Speaker 5: I feel like we already got a pretty good pitching
Speaker 5: matchup scouting report from Blake Snell because he knows these
Speaker 5: two guys better than most. He was teammates with both
Speaker 5: of them. He grew close to Logan Web. In fact,
Speaker 5: last year he wrote me into a joint face time
Speaker 5: with Logan Web. So Logan Web has felt the vass
Speaker 5: a magic in his life. So we'll see what he
Speaker 5: does tonight. I can't believe this. It's his eighth season
Speaker 5: in Major League Baseball. He is the ace of the
Speaker 5: Giant staff. He's twenty nine years old, and I saw
Speaker 5: an interview yesterday with Logan Webb where he said he
Speaker 5: learned so much from being teammates with Justin Erdlander, even
Speaker 5: for just one season. Tyler glassnew a new Man two
Speaker 5: to zero with an ERA of three twenty four. He's
Speaker 5: thirty two years old, and even in this stage of
Speaker 5: his career, he seems like he has taking it to
Speaker 5: a new level. We saw it in his last start
Speaker 5: of the exhibition season where he was using his curveball
Speaker 5: more than we've ever seen him use it. And you
Speaker 5: heard Ricky say this earlier in the show. The majority
Speaker 5: of his strikeouts this season are off his curveball. The
Speaker 5: last time glass Now pitched, he went seven innings, allowed
Speaker 5: just one run on two heads with seven strikeouts over
Speaker 5: the Rockies at Corus Field.
Speaker 4: We are just fifteen minutes away from first pitch. Keys
Speaker 4: to the game our next.
Speaker 5: I'm David Vasse and this is the back to back
Speaker 5: World 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 long.
Speaker 4: It's the final game of the series. Coming up Dodgers
Speaker 4: and Giants.
Speaker 5: Tyler Glass Now against Logan Web First pitch at twelve
Speaker 5: forty five. Getting ready for the start of the game
Speaker 5: with the Sapporo Start Great Moments, Start with Sapporo Beer,
Speaker 5: whatever your taste preference. Sapporo has you covered with a
Speaker 5: variety of crisp and refreshing loggers, including light and non
Speaker 5: alcoholic beers.
Speaker 4: B good with sushi, Great with baseball.
Speaker 5: Before first pitch, let's check in once more with Rick
Speaker 5: Monday and Steven Nelson.
Speaker 4: Guys, thank you DV.
Speaker 2: We're getting closer to the first pitch in this series
Speaker 2: finale a getaway Thursday.
Speaker 3: What a weird schedule.
Speaker 2: This road trip has created a four game wrap round
Speaker 2: set in Colorado in three games in the middle of
Speaker 2: the week, and then it's back home to kick off
Speaker 2: a series against a red hot Cubs team tomorrow at
Speaker 2: Dodgers Stadium. So Tyler Glass now Logan Web the pitching matchup.
Speaker 2: The Dodgers very familiar with Logan Web Mo, and they've
Speaker 2: hit him relatively well in recent years.
Speaker 3: So give me a key today or a player you're watching.
Speaker 8: I think there's two things I think with Glass Now
Speaker 8: at the curveball and with Logan Webb the changeup. Why
Speaker 8: don't I mention both of those well? For Glass Now
Speaker 8: on the curveball, hitters are just seven for one hundred
Speaker 8: and eleven. If you go back even to last year,
Speaker 8: combination of the curveball and the slider. With Logan Web,
Speaker 8: if we look at the last two years, you're throwing
Speaker 8: a high nine percentage of change ups for strengths. And
Speaker 8: this year so far, one of every four pitches that
Speaker 8: Logan Web has made has been all speed pitches, and
Speaker 8: the Dodgers are going to have to adjust. So far
Speaker 8: on this road trip, they've not done a real good
Speaker 8: job adjusting the changeups.
Speaker 2: They haven't done a good job at the plate in
Speaker 2: general seven for sixty, it's a one to seventeen team
Speaker 2: batting average, and a lot of they're at bats that
Speaker 2: have not looked good this issue, especially in big situations.
Speaker 2: The key hit has certainly eluded them on this road trip.
Speaker 2: And so now I want to get your take on
Speaker 2: this mode because you know, we have a tremendous amount
Speaker 2: of respect for Logan Web.
Speaker 3: This has been one of the.
Speaker 2: More durable, reliable, and consistent starting pitchers in the game
Speaker 2: the last half decade plus. This year, he enters today's
Speaker 2: start with an area of five point one zero. He's
Speaker 2: walking more guys, he's giving up harder contact, he's not
Speaker 2: striking out as many guys. This is the first year
Speaker 2: of the ABS system, and Logan Web is a guy
Speaker 2: who has lived and feasted on the edges of the plate.
Speaker 3: I wonder if.
Speaker 2: You feel the slow start, at least in terms of
Speaker 2: the numbers, is a coincidence with the ABS, or if
Speaker 2: you feel they're tied to.
Speaker 8: Get I think it's a good question. What puzzles me
Speaker 8: is if you look at what Logan Web has done
Speaker 8: at the top of the order this year, one two
Speaker 8: and three hitters collectively just one twenty two average. I
Speaker 8: think the Logan Web and I go back to years
Speaker 8: ago with the Atlanta Braves when they had Smolts, when
Speaker 8: they had Madnis, when they had Glavin. Also, those guys
Speaker 8: lived on the corners and outside of the corners, and
Speaker 8: they got those calls. Why because they were consistently in
Speaker 8: that area and umpires were kind of in a comfort
Speaker 8: zone and knowing where the pitch was going to be.
Speaker 8: I don't know if the ABS is changing it or not,
Speaker 8: but the change up itself for Logan Web is a
Speaker 8: very big pitch and.
Speaker 3: Under one thing.
Speaker 8: He's not satisfied with the record he's had against the
Speaker 8: Dodgers because he's a competitor right to the end.
Speaker 2: They Dodders have some guys with good numbers against Webb
Speaker 2: and Tyler Glass. Now he's got great numbers to start
Speaker 2: this year. He is pitching on just five days rest.
Speaker 2: His line does indicate he pitches a little bit better
Speaker 2: with that extra day. We'll see if that plays into
Speaker 2: this series finale TV First Pitching a little bit back.
Speaker 4: To you looking forward to it.
Speaker 5: Dodgers and Giants first pitches next after the game is over,
Speaker 5: Colin Yee will have all the highlights and postgame reaction.
