Speaker 4: off of Jonathan Hernandez, the only run of the game
Speaker 4: for Philadelphia as the Dodgers win a nine to one
Speaker 4: Yoshinobu Yamamoto gets the victory. Dodgers take two or three
Speaker 4: from Philadelphia. They go five and one on the home stand.
Speaker 4: They go eighteen and ten in the month of May.
Speaker 4: As we now flip the calendar to June, the Dodgers
Speaker 4: thirty eight and twenty one overall first place atop the
Speaker 4: NL West, five and a half games up on San Diego,
Speaker 4: six and a half games up on Arizona, and the
Speaker 4: Dodgers in the desert for the start of a four
Speaker 4: game series against the Diamondbacks. Emmett Sheen takes the ball
Speaker 4: in the series opener, first pitch at six forty and
Speaker 4: with more, let's head out to the galloping Ford broadcast
Speaker 4: booth as we welcome in and Tim Nevertt and Rick Monday.
Speaker 7: Guys, Tim, thanks very much. The roof is closed at
Speaker 7: Chase Field for tonight's ball game as the Dodgers begin
Speaker 7: a four game set with the Arizona Diamondbacks. Dodgers winners
Speaker 7: of fourteen of the last seventeen thirty eight and twenty
Speaker 7: one in the season. They're five and a half up
Speaker 7: in the National League West over San Diego six and
Speaker 7: a half over the Diamondbacks. Diamondbacks meantime thirty one and
Speaker 7: twenty seven, they're coming off a three game sweep. They
Speaker 7: were on the wrong side of it as the red
Speaker 7: hot Seattle Mariners swept him over the weekend. This was
Speaker 7: after winning eleven of thirteen to get back into the
Speaker 7: hunt in near the top of the standings. So the
Speaker 7: Dodgers come off a five and one home stand, They'll
Speaker 7: put Emmitt Sheehan on the mound tonight. The right hander
Speaker 7: will face Eduardo Rodriguez, the veteran lefty for Arizona, off
Speaker 7: to a very good start at five and one. Emmett
Speaker 7: is three and one and Mo show Hal tiny back
Speaker 7: at the top of the order. Andy Pie has hitting
Speaker 7: in the two spot. One of the things that Dave
Speaker 7: Roberts said about Pie today is that he deserves to
Speaker 7: get five at bats a game now rather than hitting
Speaker 7: down on the order the way that he's been driving
Speaker 7: in runs and getting on.
Speaker 6: Base, and especially if you look at the last seventeen games,
Speaker 6: any of three ninety three in that particular time with
Speaker 6: four home runs on top of it, and for Andy Paes,
Speaker 6: I would imagine he's also turned some heads as far
Speaker 6: as All Star balloting is going to be starting, and
Speaker 6: for pa Haes get his mat in there the way
Speaker 6: that he has played. Really we talked about both sides
Speaker 6: of the baseball, offensively, defensively, also the base running. I
Speaker 6: think the base running for me with Andy Pies, if
Speaker 6: you look at the last couple of years, has also
Speaker 6: improved a great deal. He just feels more comfortable. You
Speaker 6: can kind of see the results of it. At the
Speaker 6: Dodger ball club, they come in, they know full well
Speaker 6: Arizona's thought has to be tim Look, they're six and
Speaker 6: a half behind the Dodgers. This is a four game series.
Speaker 6: What can they do as far as closing the gap, Say,
Speaker 6: if they win three out of the four, what happens
Speaker 6: if they sweep this series. That's got to be on
Speaker 6: the minds of Arizona. So don't take them lightly in
Speaker 6: the four game series. Here.
Speaker 7: Dodgers offensively, however, have been taking it to whoever's been
Speaker 7: throwing the baseball in their general direction. You look at
Speaker 7: their run differential this year plus one twenty nine. That
Speaker 7: means one hundred and twenty nine runs more than they
Speaker 7: have allowed. That is the top mark in Major League baseball.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I looked at those numbers again this afternoon. They've
Speaker 6: scored three hundred and fourteen, they've allowed just one hundred
Speaker 6: and eighty five. The numbers are lopsided, but you still
Speaker 6: have to have more runs under the r department on
Speaker 6: the scoreboard when all the dust has settled at the
Speaker 6: end of the game. So yeah, they like to improve
Speaker 6: and walk out of here with forty plus victories for
Speaker 6: the season after playing the four games in Arizona.
Speaker 7: At the bottom of the order, the seven eight nine
Speaker 7: hitters tonight, Max Munsey hitting seven, Miguel Rojas he'll be
Speaker 7: at second base and place and hit eight, and Alex
Speaker 7: Call will be in left field batting ninth. Carl's going
Speaker 7: to get some extensive work now with Taeoscar Hernandez on
Speaker 7: the show for a little while. But Calls just answered
Speaker 7: the call really hitting three Tozho five. He hasn't produced
Speaker 7: really that much in the power game, but he hasn't
Speaker 7: had a lot of opportunity.
Speaker 6: Yeah, but he's gotten on base, whether it be walks,
Speaker 6: whether it be getting the base hits and what have you.
Speaker 6: Thenther part two is you don't give up anything. In fact,
Speaker 6: it's a plus if you look at what he does defensively,
Speaker 6: he has some speed on the bases on top of
Speaker 6: it the perfect high because the bottom of the order
Speaker 6: so important when they get on base, then you got
Speaker 6: the big guys coming on with Otani, Pajz, Freeman and
Speaker 6: then with Bens too, So it pays to have the
Speaker 6: bottom of the lineup red hot to set the stage
Speaker 6: for the other guys.
Speaker 7: Dodgers swept the Diamondbacks in Los Angeles to begin the
Speaker 7: season in late March. They'll play their fourth game against
Speaker 7: them this season coming up in just a little bit.
Speaker 4: Tim All right, thank you, guys. We're off and running

Speaker 4: We lead you up to Dodgers and the Diamondbacks first pitching, Phoenix,
Speaker 4: coming up at six forty. Thanks for being with us.
Speaker 4: I'm Tim kase Is the back to back World Series
Speaker 4: champion Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 1: This is Morongo Cassino Dodgers game on your home for
Speaker 1: LA Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 4: It's the Dodgers in Diamondbacks from Phoenix, start of a
Speaker 4: four game series. Dodgers first place atop the NL West
Speaker 4: Sheen and Guardo Rodriguez. The pitching matchup, first pitch, coming
Speaker 4: up at six forty.
Speaker 1: This is the Otani Rewind.
Speaker 2: Painters OH one pitch, Tani so base.
Speaker 8: Sit in the right field, over the leaping Bryce and
Speaker 8: Stott at second base and so the on Bay streak
Speaker 8: now sixteen games and in this sixteen game stretch, specifically
Speaker 8: leading off the game show, Hey is now seven for
Speaker 8: thirteen a one to one. Otani pulls it on the
Speaker 8: ground through the right side, a base hit in the
Speaker 8: right field, his second hit of the ball.
Speaker 4: Game show, Hey Otani yesterday two for five with two singles,
Speaker 4: as Nelly mentioned, extending that on Bay streak to sixteen
Speaker 4: straight games, part of a Dodgers nine to one win
Speaker 4: over the Phillies.
Speaker 1: This is Kirston's corner with Kirston Watson.
Speaker 4: Hey Carrison now joins us from the desert. Brought to
Speaker 4: by Cars for Kids. Donate now at Cars for Kids
Speaker 4: dot Org. All right, Kirson, here we go, Im and
Speaker 4: Sheen on the mound and she and one of these
Speaker 4: young arms. The Dodgers have inserted this rotation this start
Speaker 4: of the season because of injuries, and you look at
Speaker 4: what the starting staff has done, it's been pretty good.
Speaker 9: Yeah, if we look at just the month of May,
Speaker 9: and really since May thirteenth, the group is eleven and two.
Speaker 9: They've got a two point two three ERA, and so
Speaker 9: the group really has been excellent. With talking to Dave Roberts,
Speaker 9: he called out. He said, you know, yes, the entirety
Speaker 9: of the starting rotation has been in a really good spot.
Speaker 9: But what's allowed the group as a whole to be
Speaker 9: so successful. It's not the guys like sho Hey and Yoshinobu,
Speaker 9: who we know what they're going to do when they
Speaker 9: take the ball. It's the younger guys who have come in,
Speaker 9: like you mentioned, stepped up when needed. That's Emmit she
Speaker 9: and that's rookie Sasaki and that's Justin Robleski. And what
Speaker 9: those three have really been able to do for the group,
Speaker 9: Dave Roberts has said, has been excellent, which is allowed
Speaker 9: for the success that this group has seen in May.
Speaker 1: So four m men.
Speaker 9: He's coming off of, you know, a strong outing in
Speaker 9: which he fought to stay in there. If we recall,
Speaker 9: he was hit by a comebacker off his like kind
Speaker 9: of bicep tricep part of his arm, and it was
Speaker 9: a hard hit ball that came back at him, but
Speaker 9: he wanted to stay in there. It always took some
Speaker 9: time for Dave Roberts and Thomas Upward to check on him,
Speaker 9: but he fought to stay in and was able to
Speaker 9: get their six innings of work. So he feels like
Speaker 9: he's in a good spot and really building on each
Speaker 9: outing to continue to find success and just to feel
Speaker 9: like a complete picture where he wants to be.
Speaker 4: Speaking of continuing to find success, it's a daily grind
Speaker 4: for every hitter at the big leagues, for Kyle Tucker,
Speaker 4: he's really been working hard off the field.
Speaker 9: He has, so you know, he's someone who's similar to Shohotani.
Speaker 9: When he takes the field to take batting practice world stop,
Speaker 9: it is a very big deal when he is doing
Speaker 9: that because he is looking for something. So when we
Speaker 9: were back in Los Angeles during this past homestand and
Speaker 9: only did we see him come on the field early
Speaker 9: to take some hits off of the velocity machine, off
Speaker 9: the jugs machine, I should say, but he also was
Speaker 9: on the field for the traditional batting practice ahead of
Speaker 9: the game, taking some swings, trying to feel something. And
Speaker 9: when I spoke to him this afternoon just as to
Speaker 9: what that was for, he was saying, he was like,
Speaker 9: you know, he's been putting in a lot of work
Speaker 9: right now, trying just to feel something at the plate
Speaker 9: to swing through it, to make sure that he's getting
Speaker 9: the results. He's felt like, you know, yes, he's making contact,
Speaker 9: but he's not making the contact in which he wanted
Speaker 9: to be doing. When we were in Milwaukee, he shared
Speaker 9: with me that he felt like he was hitting when
Speaker 9: he had the two triples. He was pulling. Yeah, he
Speaker 9: was pulling the ball, hitting it down the foul line,
Speaker 9: and as much as he was able to get results,
Speaker 9: that's not where he wanted to. He felt like there
Speaker 9: was just too much backspin on it. He's trying to
Speaker 9: go more to that center field, left center, right center
Speaker 9: is fine. He just wants to put the ball forward
Speaker 9: or as Dave Roberts likes to say, move the ball forward.
Speaker 9: And so that's something he's trying to do right now.
Speaker 9: So it meant there was a lot of swings. There
Speaker 9: was swings before he took VP on the field. There
Speaker 9: were swings the night or the yeah after the game,
Speaker 9: and that night before the night after the game. There
Speaker 9: was just he was like, yeah, there's a lot of
Speaker 9: swings right now, but ultimately I'm just trying to get
Speaker 9: back on track. But he does feel like he's getting closer.
Speaker 9: He did say the two hits yesterday aren't enough of
Speaker 9: a sign, but it's a good sign for him.
Speaker 4: Well, certainly the production will be there, no doubt about it.
Speaker 4: Kyle Tucker is one of the guys the Dodgers need
Speaker 4: this season to get going. Still to come here on
Speaker 4: Wrongo because you know Dodgers on that nank you curious, Well,
Speaker 4: dive deeper into this pitching matchup, David Vasseg goes one
Speaker 4: on one. Ryan Ward, who hit a home run yesterday,
Speaker 4: his first in the big leagues. We'll hear from him,
Speaker 4: but also get you an injury report, and we'll check
Speaker 4: in with the Dodger manager, Dave Roberts when we return.
Speaker 4: Dodgers and Diamondbacks first pitch from Phoenix coming up at
Speaker 4: six forty. I'm Tim Kaitson's the back to back World
Speaker 4: Series champion Dodgers Audio Network.

Speaker 4: a left hamstring strain. Keiky Hernandez on the IOL with
Speaker 4: the little left oblique injury. Tyler Glassnell checking out some
Speaker 4: baseball cards today. He's on the injured list with lower
Speaker 4: back spasms. Blake Snell was actually the one ed Burbanks
Speaker 4: sports cars and Tyler glassnow is on the io with
Speaker 4: the lower backspasses. Blake Snell with the bodies out of
Speaker 4: his elbow. He is rehabbing on the sixty day IL,

Speaker 4: Actually hit a home run yesterday as he is working
Speaker 4: his way back to join this Dodgers team. All right,
Speaker 4: let's head back out to Phoenix and check out the
Speaker 4: Dodgers skipper Dave.
Speaker 5: Do you think questions for Dave?
Speaker 9: Dave?
Speaker 1: Can you just describe Dave? Can you talk about the
Speaker 1: pressure in the dugouts with Dave Roberts.
Speaker 10: I think we're still learning. I think that you know,
Speaker 10: there's certain things that about a player that you kind
Speaker 10: of know, but you don't really know until you see
Speaker 10: it in action and see some adversities and how they respond.
Speaker 10: So I think that you know, with Emmett, he's responded
Speaker 10: some adversities. He's responding to now feeling better, the uptick
Speaker 10: in velocity. So this whole kind of growth for Emmett
Speaker 10: has been fantastic.
Speaker 5: Have you seen signs of will Smith starting to hit
Speaker 5: the fastball better than he was, you know, for the
Speaker 5: majority of the season. I do, I really do.
Speaker 10: I think he's in a much better spot physically, mechanically,
Speaker 10: and I want to be clear that the hitting the
Speaker 10: fastball is more of not pulling the fastball. It's just
Speaker 10: moving it forward to the big part of the field,
Speaker 10: which I believe is his strength. So it's not about
Speaker 10: just pulling it. It's about getting the pitch and hitting
Speaker 10: it to where his strength is. And I do think
Speaker 10: that he's gotten a lot better at that. Yeah.
Speaker 4: All right, there's a manager, Dave Robert talking to the media.
Speaker 4: As we continue here, I'm wrong with Casino Dodgers on deck.
Speaker 4: We all check in with David Say as we lead

Speaker 5: upset the masses or you've embarrassed yourself. But on the
Speaker 5: last homestand Freddie Freeman went viral twice for the right
Speaker 5: reasons I asked him about it. Usually guys go viral
Speaker 5: for not so great moments, but on the last homestand
Speaker 5: you had two very pure, fun viral moments. You're trying
Speaker 5: to get Kyle Carros to look up at his dad,
Speaker 5: and then you playfully kick some dirt at JT real
Speaker 5: mudo yesterday. Where does that all come from? I don't know.
Speaker 6: I don't know.
Speaker 11: I love playing the game in baseball. I know we're
Speaker 11: in a tense battle of competing h to, but during
Speaker 11: the game, I like to find fun things. It's we're
Speaker 11: all having fun playing this game.
Speaker 1: We love it.
Speaker 11: But yeah, I knew Harrik was doing the games, and
Speaker 11: I could see when Kyle got the hit.
Speaker 4: I could see him kind.
Speaker 11: Of like moving around in the booth, and I was like, oh,
Speaker 11: that's an excited dad. And I was like, hey, look
Speaker 11: your dad, your dad, your dad. And then obviously yesterday, yeah,
Speaker 11: I just got told that I was going all over
Speaker 11: the place.
Speaker 4: But yeah, so JT.
Speaker 11: Obviously in my first at bat, gout, eat the strike
Speaker 11: out on a challenge call, and then next at bat,
Speaker 11: first pitch he challenges again and gets it right. And
Speaker 11: then so that's where I've obviously know JT for a
Speaker 11: long time, and you know I love JT. So yeah,
Speaker 11: once he got it, I knew he was gonna get
Speaker 11: it right too. So that's why I just kicked some
Speaker 11: dirt on him and he just started laughing.
Speaker 5: I said stop.
Speaker 11: He wanted to challenge the next one too, but thankfully
Speaker 11: I was like there. He was like, I don't know prettymuch.
Speaker 11: I looked at it and I said, if that's the strike,
Speaker 11: I'm done here. You know, like, and uh, you know,
Speaker 11: it's just fun. The game's fun. Baseball is fun. It's
Speaker 11: supposed to be fun, and you know, I try and
Speaker 11: enjoy it as much as I came on and playing.

Speaker 9: Zella?
Speaker 4: Hello?
Speaker 5: Can you believe this? The nanoscope procedure was a success.
Speaker 5: What I can tell you about the difference between his
Speaker 5: procedure and Derek Scoobel's procedure is Schoobole only had one
Speaker 5: bone chip removed and it only took doctor Neil elatrosh
Speaker 5: thirty minutes. Blake Snell told me his procedure took two hours.
Speaker 5: It was a little more involved. But he was showing
Speaker 5: me yesterday, Tim, how he has full range of motion
Speaker 5: with his left elbow. He said, back in twenty nineteen
Speaker 5: when he had a standard bone chip removal in his elbow,
Speaker 5: then he could barely move. He could barely move his elbows.

Speaker 4: today we say hello to Charlie Steiner.
Speaker 13: The Dodgers on the road, after winning five of six
Speaker 13: at home, begin a four game series with the Diamondbacks
Speaker 13: in Phoenix on the day after Dave Roberts' fifty fourth birthday.
Speaker 13: It's time to throw him some flowers. He is eighteen
Speaker 13: wins away from one thousand. He is three hundred and
Speaker 13: eighty five games over five hundred, a winning percentage of
Speaker 13: six twenty two. And of course, now the Dodgers are
Speaker 13: looking like secretary pulling away from the rest of the
Speaker 13: pack in the National League West, five and a half
Speaker 13: in front of the Padres and six and a half
Speaker 13: in front of the d Backs, who the Dodgers are
Speaker 13: playing tonight.
Speaker 6: Mo, Well, you know the nice thing about Dave roberts
Speaker 6: story to begin with, and you know we're no, we're
Speaker 6: only what maybe the second chapter of a mini chapter book.
Speaker 6: You and I have gotten to know Dave very well.
Speaker 6: This has never been about Dave Roberts when he talked
Speaker 6: to Dave. This has been about the ball club. It's
Speaker 6: been about the organization. It's been about the game of
Speaker 6: baseball in the city of Los Angeles and the job
Speaker 6: that he has done. I think back I send the
Speaker 6: other day. If we think back to the very first
Speaker 6: spring trending in Campbell Back Ranch, Glendale, Dave took over
Speaker 6: the ball club that very first morning. He said, guys,
Speaker 6: I was in the other dugout, remember he was Buddy
Speaker 6: Black's bench coach with San Diego, and he said, I've
Speaker 6: seen you guys from the other dugout. You can play
Speaker 6: better than you have been playing. You can run the
Speaker 6: bases better than you have been running them. And that
Speaker 6: was kind of the message to begin with, on what
Speaker 6: Dave Roberts presented. And to the credit of the organization
Speaker 6: and the guys that have played here under Dave Roberts,
Speaker 6: they have really paid attention to his words because it
Speaker 6: gave them I think an inside look is and hey, look,
Speaker 6: look at ourselves. We could get better if we do this,
Speaker 6: this and this.
Speaker 13: Three hundred and eighty five games over five hundred entering
Speaker 13: play tonight. He is even with Tony LaRussa, who of
Speaker 13: course finished in the Hall of Fame, among others Connie Mack,
Speaker 13: John McGrath, Bobby Cox, Joe Torque. So right now he
Speaker 13: is really in a very rarefied air.
Speaker 6: He's in rarefied air, and he does it very quietly.
Speaker 6: It's not been about him. Doesn't put on a gigantic
Speaker 6: show at all. First of all, he earns the respect.
Speaker 6: He doesn't win the respect. He earns the respect of
Speaker 6: the players that understand, Hey, a, he's gone through it
Speaker 6: as a player. He's had success, he's had failures. He's
Speaker 6: been able to accomplish a whole lot when the odds
Speaker 6: were really against him as a player. And now as
Speaker 6: a manager. He leads by example, and I think he
Speaker 6: really presents not only the organization exceptionally well, but the
Speaker 6: entirety of baseball.
Speaker 13: A one eight of ten, fourteen of their last seventeen,
Speaker 13: and in those fourteen games about scored the opponent one
Speaker 13: hundred and six to thirty six, while the pitching has
Speaker 13: been sensational a two point h nine er. So they're
Speaker 13: getting it pitching defense, And of course I lead the
Speaker 13: majors in home runs.
Speaker 6: Yeah, Charlie too, is that if you look at the
Speaker 6: plate of the Dodgers, you know, they've scored three hundred
Speaker 6: and fourteen runs, they have allowed just one hundred and
Speaker 6: eighty five. And if you mold that overs, wait a minute,
Speaker 6: they've scored over three hundred, they've allowed less than two hundred.
Speaker 6: That's a pretty good package to give to your bullpen,
Speaker 6: and a lot gets overlooked when you consider the fact
Speaker 6: that the Dodgers have also rated very high in the
Speaker 6: defense that they've thrown out there at each and every game.
Speaker 13: Run differential the Dodgers one hundred and twenty nine runs
Speaker 13: better than their opposition by par that is tops in
Speaker 13: Major League Baseball. The d Backs are in third place
Speaker 13: in the National League West at thirty one and twenty seven.
Speaker 13: They're eighteen and ten at home, which is the Dodgers
Speaker 13: road record. The only other team in the National League
Speaker 13: West over five hundred in the month of May nobody
Speaker 13: just the Diamondbacks when they went fifteen and thirteen. So
Speaker 13: the Dodgers, like we said, they're beginning to pull away.
Speaker 13: And Emmett Sheean gets to start tonight against EDWARDO. Rodriguez
Speaker 13: five and one, a two point three to one er,
Speaker 13: one of the better pitchers in the game that nobody
Speaker 13: knows very much about.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and he's pitched very well at home. He's undefeated
Speaker 6: at home. In the five starts, he's three and oh
Speaker 6: then era under one and a half when he's been
Speaker 6: here at home. He's the guy the Dodgers have seen
Speaker 6: in the past eight different starts where he's two and four.
Speaker 6: But he's pitching very well this year.
Speaker 13: The Dodgers, coming off of five and one home stand Arizona,
Speaker 13: was swept all three up in Seattle. This is the
Speaker 13: first of a four game series, and the Dodgers returned
Speaker 13: home briefly and hit the road one more time. But
Speaker 13: the way they're playing home or on the road, it
Speaker 13: doesn't seem to matter. These days.

Speaker 14: able to celebrate with them and everyone be happy for
Speaker 14: me was really special, and you know, kind of enjoying
Speaker 14: the moment and then just taking it all in was
Speaker 14: really fun.
Speaker 5: How many messages did you have on your phone quite a.
Speaker 14: Bit after the game. Yeah, it took me some time
Speaker 14: to go through them all, but I tried to apply
Speaker 14: to at least everybody that I could, So it was awesome.
Speaker 5: Well, the day started with you getting your first start,
Speaker 5: first game at Dodger Stadium. Could you describe the feelings
Speaker 5: even before the game started for you?
Speaker 14: Yeah, I was kind of like that those debut ones,
Speaker 14: the butterflies were there for sure, just like knowing that
Speaker 14: it was in LA this time, and being able to
Speaker 14: go out into dot your stadium and play and getting
Speaker 14: out to left field and kind of just just taking
Speaker 14: it in for a second. I ended my like pregame
Speaker 14: catch pretty early just to just be able to stand
Speaker 14: out there for a second and just kind of look
Speaker 14: around and take it in. So it was a really
Speaker 14: cool moment.
Speaker 5: What's the balance of doing that, taking it in, knowing
Speaker 5: where you're at, enjoying it, but also not letting it
Speaker 5: overwhelm you.
Speaker 14: Yeah, you know, I think I think that's kind of
Speaker 14: why I did it, is to like give myself like
Speaker 14: that that five second period of like, take this in,
Speaker 14: enjoy it, and Okay, it's not like now now it's
Speaker 14: time to time to play baseball, time to focus in
Speaker 14: and get ready to play.
Speaker 5: Isn't it amazing how the game finds you Because before
Speaker 5: you're a home run, there was a sinking line drive
Speaker 5: in the sun and left field and you made a
Speaker 5: really nice play in left field. I mean it feels
Speaker 5: like the game always finds you.
Speaker 14: Yeah, no, for sure. I mean I was talking to
Speaker 14: someone for you and I forgot who it was and
Speaker 14: it was like, hey, the ball's gonna find you, Like
Speaker 14: for sure. The ball is gonna find you, so so
Speaker 14: I'll just be ready for it and and and trust yourself.
Speaker 4: And that's what I was able to do.
Speaker 5: Ryan Ward is our guest before first pitch between the Dodgers,
Speaker 5: and I'm in backs And you know, I was mentioning
Speaker 5: in the beginning of this interview about Otani's celebrating you.
Speaker 5: What's it like to have a locker two spots away
Speaker 5: from him here at Chase Field.
Speaker 14: Yeah, you know, it's incredible. I mean, everyone in this
Speaker 14: locker room is unbelievable. It's a bunch of superstars in here,
Speaker 14: and they're all great guys, so it's awesome to be
Speaker 14: around them all.
Speaker 5: Does it make it more comfortable when you take a
Speaker 5: game like yesterday, for example, the bottom third of the
Speaker 5: Dodger order was a bunch of OKC Dodgers, yourself, Freeland
Speaker 5: and Rushing.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 14: Absolutely, guys that I've played with on coming up through
Speaker 14: the organ and have relationships with, and it's really cool
Speaker 14: to be here with them as well.
Speaker 5: How about the fact that you and Freeland were taking
Speaker 5: batting practice together and then you homer in the same
Speaker 5: inning yesterday.
Speaker 14: Yeah, we almost went back to back there and we
Speaker 14: spent the whole morning game planning together and hitting together
Speaker 14: are like routine together, and then right before the game together,
Speaker 14: so it was really really cool to hit one being
Speaker 14: the dugout and then watch him hit one and kind
Speaker 14: of be able to celebrate together.
Speaker 5: You are the adult in the rooms, so do you
Speaker 5: feel like you're the adult in that relationship?
Speaker 4: No, we're good friends.
Speaker 14: I think we're both adults in their relationship.
Speaker 5: Ryan Ward is our guest as we get ready for
Speaker 5: Dodgers Diamondbacks the beginning of a four game series. Now, yesterday,
Speaker 5: you mentioned after the game the celebration and also the
Speaker 5: fact that your teammates through everything but the kitchen sink
Speaker 5: on you. Can you remember the ingredients of what was
Speaker 5: thrown on you in the celebration?
Speaker 14: Honestly, I don't even know. I was covering my eyes
Speaker 14: trying not to get it in there. So but it
Speaker 14: was a really cool moment and I'm glad it happened.
Speaker 5: How long did it take you to get all of
Speaker 5: that stink off you?
Speaker 14: Yeah, it took me a while. I took a couple
Speaker 14: of quite a few showers after that, quite a few
Speaker 14: INSes just to get it all off.
Speaker 5: Does it feel different this time around because Freddie went
Speaker 5: on the paternity list. This is going to be a
Speaker 5: longer period of time that you're here because Taoskar's out
Speaker 5: for a month. Does that put you at ease a
Speaker 5: little more?
Speaker 14: You know, yeah, a little bit, but kind of just
Speaker 14: taking it day by day, you know, going through my routine,
Speaker 14: not changing anything up, and just get my work done
Speaker 14: and be ready to go.
Speaker 5: Here's one thing guys have told me about you. You
Speaker 5: have every reason to be as salty and bitter as
Speaker 5: anybody in the minor leagues, but you have such a
Speaker 5: great spirit about yourself. As Alex Freeland comes into his locker, Freeland,
Speaker 5: I apologize your big brother right here, Ryan Ward said,
Speaker 5: I was allowed to sit in your chair. Is that okay?
Speaker 5: If Ryan says it's okay, it's okay. Oh there it
Speaker 5: is sea Ward. Second day in the big leagues, and
Speaker 5: this guy's getting me in trouble already right here.
Speaker 2: Get yourself in trouble.
Speaker 5: But Ryan, how have you kept such a great spirit
Speaker 5: about yourself through all of it?
Speaker 14: You know, just keeping your head up and trusting in
Speaker 14: the work that I'm putting in and just continue to
Speaker 14: go forward.
Speaker 5: And do you have to just take it one day
Speaker 5: at a time.
Speaker 14: Yeah, absolutely, take it one day at a time, take
Speaker 14: a one rep out of time and just have fun
Speaker 14: with it.

Speaker 4: pitching matchup. Don't you go anywhere. I'm Tim Kas's the
Speaker 4: back to back World Series champion Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 1: This is Morongo Casino Dodgers Huntings on your home for
Speaker 1: La Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 4: Dodgers Fresh off a five and one a home stand
Speaker 4: first place. It's off. The NLS right back at it
Speaker 4: tonight as they start a four game series in the
Speaker 4: Desert against the Arizona Diamondbacks. First pitch coming up at
Speaker 4: six forty.
Speaker 1: And now before the Dodgers hit the dineck, we look
Speaker 1: at the pitching matchup, brought.
Speaker 4: To you by your Toyota dealers. Make it easy. Eduardo
Speaker 4: Rodriguez on the mound for the Snakes, five to one
Speaker 4: with a two thirty one ERA. Thirty three year old
Speaker 4: left chander out of Venezuela. He's been around a while,
Speaker 4: twelve season in the big league's third with the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Speaker 4: Remember at one point he was with the Detroit Tigers
Speaker 4: and they were looking to ship him off at the
Speaker 4: trade deadline. Dodgers were inquiring about them, and he said, nah,
Speaker 4: don't want to play on the West coast. Well, last
Speaker 4: time I looked, Arizona's pretty far west as well. But
Speaker 4: he signed a three year deal with the Diamondbacks. He
Speaker 4: is one win away from one hundred in his career,
Speaker 4: making his twelve start this year. He's been really good
Speaker 4: with a fastball, change up combination in the eleven starts
Speaker 4: this year, he utilizes it almost seventy percent of the time.
Speaker 4: In the month of May, he went three to one
Speaker 4: with a one sixty ERA and five stars, twenty seven
Speaker 4: strikeouts and held his opponents to a two OA batting average.
Speaker 4: Last time out, six innings, two runs, six hits, six
Speaker 4: strikeouts and a winner with the San Francisco Giants. Why
Speaker 4: not everybody's beating the Giants now? This is his ninth
Speaker 4: career start against the Dodgers. He's not allowed to earn
Speaker 4: run in his last two starts, going one to zero
Speaker 4: with the zero ERA and nine strikeouts. Emmett Shean on
Speaker 4: the mound for the Dodgers three and one with the
Speaker 4: four to seventy ERA. The twenty six year old right
Speaker 4: hander finally healthy now in his fourth season in the
Speaker 4: big leagues. Had Tommy John surgery in twenty four missed
Speaker 4: half of last year working his way back, and now
Speaker 4: he is a full go and been really good. Now
Speaker 4: making his eleventh start this season, fastball just over mid nineties, slider,
Speaker 4: change up. He's been really good. Last time out six innings,
Speaker 4: two runs, five hits, eight strikeouts. That one is a
Speaker 4: win over the Colorado Rockies. Immitt Shean has not faced
Speaker 4: the Arizona with Diamondbacks a lot, just one start, and
Speaker 4: that one start came at the beginning of this season
Speaker 4: March twenty seventh. He went three and a third innings,
Speaker 4: given up five hits, four runs, two walks, struck out
Speaker 4: six in a no decision. So it's Emmett Shean and
Speaker 4: eduardro Rodriguez the pitching matchup first of four from the
Speaker 4: Desert Dodgers and Diamondbacks. As we are fifteen minutes away
Speaker 4: from first pitch from Chase Field in Arizona, Hey's to
Speaker 4: the game are coming up next. Don't you go anywhere.
Speaker 4: I'm Tim Katson. This is the back to back World
Speaker 4: Series champion Dodgers Audio, Newhork.
Speaker 1: This is Marongo Casino Dodgers on tap on your home

Speaker 4: Dodgers and Diamondbacks start of a four game series in
Speaker 4: the Desert Imachine and order Rodriguez, the left hander of
Speaker 4: the pitching matchup in the series opener. First pitch is
Speaker 4: coming up in about thirteen minutes. As we get you

Speaker 4: start Great Moments start with Sapporo beer or whatever your

Speaker 4: Sapporo good with sushi with baseball. Let's head back out
Speaker 4: to the booth. Guys on the call tonight, Tim Nevertt
Speaker 4: and Rick Monday.
Speaker 7: Tim, thanks again. We're counting it down to the first
Speaker 7: pitch here in Phoenix, Arizona. Triple digit temperatures outside and
Speaker 7: the roof has closed at Chase Field MC in three
Speaker 7: and one. Well, the four to seventy Era gets the start.
Speaker 7: The right hander, we'll face a lineup with Gettel Marte,
Speaker 7: a switch hitter. At the top of fact, there are
Speaker 7: four switch hitters in this Arizona lineup that Machian has
Speaker 7: to face down right and for she and.
Speaker 6: I think first of all, the sliders is a big,
Speaker 6: big pitch. Sheen has fifty nine strankeounts thirty one of
Speaker 6: those that come as a result of the slider. One
Speaker 6: thing I'll be looking at the first inning. Why is
Speaker 6: Era in the first inning is nine highest of any inning.
Speaker 6: And on the flip side of the coin ed Wanda
Speaker 6: Rodriguez that Dodgers saw him in the second game of
Speaker 6: the season as it opened up. He went five innings,
Speaker 6: allowed one run only four hits in that game against
Speaker 6: the Dodgers in La.
Speaker 7: Rodriguez has had a good start to the year again,
Speaker 7: his CRA two thirty one. He's got ninety nine career wins,
Speaker 7: so tonight he's pitching for a milestone, the veteran left
Speaker 7: hander out of Venezuela taking on Emmett Sheehan, the right
Speaker 7: hander for the Dodgers. One other note, Dave Roberts confirming,
Speaker 7: I think this is a regular thing with shoe hey Otani.
Speaker 7: He'll pitch Wednesday and will also be in the lineup
Speaker 7: leading off as the designated hitter again, as Dave said that,
Speaker 7: he is well rested right now, and I think his
Speaker 7: batting average and his pitching record approving that Dodgers and
Speaker 7: Diamondbacks coming up from Chase Field Tim all.
Speaker 4: Right, thank you very much, Yes, shoey Otani. He will
Speaker 4: be a two way player on Wednesday when he pitches,
Speaker 4: he will get the start of the mount and serve
Speaker 4: as their DH tonight, the DH and leading off for
Speaker 4: the Dodgers. Andy Pajs in center field, Freddie Freeman batting
Speaker 4: third and first, Mookie Betts batting clean up with shortstop,
