Speaker 1: For the back to back World Champions of Baseball.
Speaker 2: One of the greatest runs in the history of baseball.
Speaker 1: Immortality is within their reach.
Speaker 3: Incredible and while others make excuses.
Speaker 4: The only reason the Dodgers are doing this because they
Speaker 4: can they print money.
Speaker 1: The Dodgers just can't continue.
Speaker 5: It's not fair.
Speaker 1: Are making plans.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's a singular focus on controlling what they can control.
Speaker 1: Now your pregame host of the World Champion La Dodgers
Speaker 1: Tam Catshi.
Speaker 3: Everybody, and welcome into this Friday edition of Marongo Casino
Speaker 3: Dodgers on Deck, your official Dodger pregame show as you're
Speaker 3: back to back World Series champions. Sit alone atop the
Speaker 3: NL West, It's seventy three and forty nine on this season,
Speaker 3: currently an eight game lead in the NL West. After
Speaker 3: a tough one last night that got away from him,
Speaker 3: Dodgers look to rebound tonight with Yoshinobu Yamamoto on the
Speaker 3: mound on Clayton Kershaw Bobble Night out of Uniclow Field
Speaker 3: the Dodger Stadium, first pitch coming up at seven to ten.
Speaker 3: Between then and now, we got a lot to get
Speaker 3: to here on Marongo Casino Dodgers on deck, including hearing
Speaker 3: from Clayton Kershaw, the future Hall of Famer, will be
Speaker 3: one on one with David Vase coming up in forty
Speaker 3: five minutes. We'll hear from Charlie Steiner coming up in
Speaker 3: thirty minutes, and twenty minutes Dave Roberts the manager. We'll
Speaker 3: get the pregame thoughts. We got your magical moment. Of course,
Speaker 3: we got your otani rewind. Kirsten Watson from Sports and
Speaker 3: at LA will stop by and in just a few
Speaker 3: minutes we will head out to the galloping Ford broadcast
Speaker 3: with well. Last night, the Dodgers' bullpen blew it no
Speaker 3: other way to put it. The Dodgers with a great
Speaker 3: rally to take the lead, only to see that lead
Speaker 3: gone in the ninth inning as the Dodgers gave the
Speaker 3: ball to Roki Sasaki. He got the start, had some
Speaker 3: traffic on the base pass the first three innings. Finally,
Speaker 3: and then in the fourth inning, Sasaki a couple of walks,
Speaker 3: loaded the bases, walked in a run, walked in a
Speaker 3: second run as the Brewers scored two runs on all
Speaker 3: only two hits but three walks in the inning as
Speaker 3: they took a two nothing lead. It took a couple
Speaker 3: of spins around the lineup for the Dodgers offense to
Speaker 3: get going. Finally in the fifth, a leadoff walk from
Speaker 3: Miguel rojaspital runner around. He's able to get the second
Speaker 3: two batters later, how about Roardy, here's.
Speaker 7: A line drive, thanks Hunning the left field round then
Speaker 7: turned his row hoss, here's the part of the play.
Speaker 1: Then he is safe. It came out of the blow
Speaker 1: of sen Chins.
Speaker 4: He was out of the play, but Sanchez couldn't hang on.
Speaker 1: Dodgers are on the board.
Speaker 8: It's two to one.
Speaker 3: Dodgers finally get on the board thanks to Ben Roardveatt.
Speaker 5: It's a two to one game.
Speaker 3: Rookie Sasaki went back out in the top half of
Speaker 3: the sixth Indian did what he needed to do, put
Speaker 3: up a zero only face three batters, got a double
Speaker 3: play and a two to one game. Going to the
Speaker 3: bottom half of the sixth inning, when the Dodgers put
Speaker 3: together one of those crooked number innings. How about a
Speaker 3: one out walk to Tommy Eban Freddie Freeman, then a huge,
Speaker 3: huge walk after he challenged the strike three it was
Speaker 3: overturned called ball four. That was big pitching change brought
Speaker 3: Sincintela in t Oscar Hernandez with runners on first and second.
Speaker 5: Struck out.
Speaker 3: All right, so two down, two on for the pinch hitter,
Speaker 3: Max Munsey.
Speaker 9: Turn to Tella, set a chest, There go the runners.
Speaker 9: Here comes the pitch, the.
Speaker 7: Fly ball and the deep right center field its way
Speaker 7: back there, and then he's a three run pinch home
Speaker 7: run for Bax Monthly. He's been clutch.
Speaker 10: Wow, only had one foul with home run distance. Well,
Speaker 10: let me rewreck it, keep.
Speaker 3: It fair, Max Monsy, Yes, with a three run home
Speaker 3: run is twenty third of the season. That one off
Speaker 3: the bench, a three run six then he can complete
Speaker 3: completely flipped the scoreboard for the Dodgers, who had a
Speaker 3: four to two lead. That was the top tier play
Speaker 3: of the game, brought to you by Arco Quality, top
Speaker 3: tier gas for less six innings for rookie Sasaki. Jack
Speaker 3: Dreyer got the seventh.
Speaker 5: En Rique.
Speaker 3: Gardo en Riquez comes in, He gets two outs, followed
Speaker 3: by Tanner Scott who got the final out of the
Speaker 3: eighth inning. The Dodgers, with a four to two lead,
Speaker 3: turned it over to well Edwin Diaz. The trumpets were
Speaker 3: blurring last night. Unfortunately, Edwin Diaz was not. A one
Speaker 3: out single followed by a two out single followed by
Speaker 3: an RBI single made it four to three Mitchell, then
Speaker 3: another RBI single just like that, four straight singles against
Speaker 3: Edwin Diaz and the Brewers tied the game. He struck
Speaker 3: out Sanchez. Alex Vessi came in with the tie game.
Speaker 3: Bowers would single to right, Chorio would score and that
Speaker 3: run accounted to yep Edwin Diaz as the Milwaukee Brewers
Speaker 3: scored three runs on five hits in the top half
Speaker 3: of the ninth inning to take a five four lead
Speaker 3: in absolute turn of a out at the Ravine, as
Speaker 3: the Dodgers will go quietly in the ninth the Milwaukee
Speaker 3: Brewers come from behind somehow someway and win it five
Speaker 3: to four. Edwin Diaz gets the loss, the third blown
Speaker 3: save in his last four tries. The Dodgers blow an
Speaker 3: opportunity to get into a tie with Milwaukee for the
Speaker 3: best record in baseball. Instead, now they're two games back
Speaker 3: of Milwaukee. They look up in Atlanta for the second
Speaker 3: best record in the National League. As the Dodgers need
Speaker 3: to hop back at it and get right back at
Speaker 3: it tonight. Forget last night, Get back on the mound.
Speaker 3: Get back out there with Yoshinobu Yamamoto on the mound.
Speaker 3: Game two of this four game set, first pitch coming
Speaker 3: up in seven to ten, and with more we head
Speaker 3: out to the Galloping Forward broadcast both with Steven Nelson
Speaker 3: and Rick Monday.
Speaker 11: Guys, okay, Tim, Yeah, not a happy Thursday night, but
Speaker 11: let's make it a happy Friday show.
Speaker 2: We were back at Dodgers Stadium.
Speaker 11: A beautiful afternoon and evening on tap in another big
Speaker 11: game in this big series mod for the Dodgers against
Speaker 11: the Brewers. But make no mistake, last night stung in
Speaker 11: two degree. He still stings because the Dodgers continue to
Speaker 11: struggle to put games away since the Ulster break.
Speaker 2: Ten blown lead losses now since the break.
Speaker 10: Yeah, not to just put it squarely on the shoulders
Speaker 10: of Edwin Diaz alone blown saved, No question if I
Speaker 10: had had three blown saves now in seven appearances, and
Speaker 10: Diaz has given up a very high batting average against
Speaker 10: the three seventy five. We both thought it was interesting
Speaker 10: in listening to Dave Roberts last night when asked, Hey,
Speaker 10: what about the closer situation? He goes, well, what are
Speaker 10: the options? There are no other options, and you start
Speaker 10: to think, well, there were options before Diaz came off
Speaker 10: the injured list. But we're going to find out what
Speaker 10: happens night. Interesting what's going to take place. Also, Freddy Freeman,
Speaker 10: who was banged, fortunately did not wind up in the
Speaker 10: hospital after landing in the dugout that was on Wednesday night.
Speaker 10: In the lineup last night, it was a scheduled night
Speaker 10: tonight where he was not going to be in the lineup,
Speaker 10: and that's the case. It's going to be kick Hernandez
Speaker 10: will be at first base.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 11: So Freddy Freeman getting a night off and Migo Rojas
Speaker 11: getting a night off too, despite the fact that the
Speaker 11: crews are starting another left handed pitcher to Oscar Hernandez
Speaker 11: has not looked good the last few games, and yet
Speaker 11: he has been elevated to the three spot tonight.
Speaker 2: Mookie Betts draws back in. He is cleaning up.
Speaker 11: But for the Dodgers, yeah, I'm very curious to see
Speaker 11: the next time they're in a leverage spot with the lead,
Speaker 11: how the bullpen shuffling looks, because you know, I get
Speaker 11: that Tanner Scott has not been as crisp the last
Speaker 11: few weeks or so, but he has still been the Dodgers'
Speaker 11: most consistent and best relief pitcher throughout the year. Jack
Speaker 11: Dryer has really come along strong. Yeah, he had a
Speaker 11: little bit of a hiccup during the Kansas City Series,
Speaker 11: but like nineteen dominant outings leading up to that, So
Speaker 11: you know, those comments were interesting. Yes, they were fresh
Speaker 11: off the heat of battle and fresh off a really
Speaker 11: tough loss. You don't get that much time to kind
Speaker 11: of cool down before you meet with the media, and
Speaker 11: perhaps that played into it here. But yeah, again, did
Speaker 11: the Dodgers just have to figure out a way to
Speaker 11: get it done? Because this is with the next three
Speaker 11: games against Milwaukee, a chance of the Dodgers put a
Speaker 11: stamp not just on this season series, but you know,
Speaker 11: postseason positioning, a bye on the line in the National League,
Speaker 11: home field advantage, so on and so forth.
Speaker 2: This is a massive one.
Speaker 10: Yeah, And those are giant things that we talk about.
Speaker 10: A buy not have to play that first round and
Speaker 10: the home field advantage, and not to be a play
Speaker 10: on words, but this has been brewing, if you will,
Speaker 10: for you know, a number of weeks. I mean, the
Speaker 10: Dodgers have lost nine to the last thirteen. Though we
Speaker 10: can look at the closer last night the situation say fine,
Speaker 10: but the ball club has not played well. It is
Speaker 10: not played well defensively. We saw cutoffs and relays not
Speaker 10: really there even last night, not backing up bases, hitting
Speaker 10: into ground bowl double plays in key situations. So this
Speaker 10: is a ball club that's also had difficulty the Dodgers
Speaker 10: have in coming up with consistent base hits when opportunities
Speaker 10: to score have presented themselves.
Speaker 11: They got the right guy on the mount of the
Speaker 11: night in Yoshinobu Yamamoto, but the offense is the big
Speaker 11: question mark coming into this one against Robert Gasser. We'll
Speaker 11: dive into that pitching matchup and get a Keith from
Speaker 11: Mole a little bit later.
Speaker 5: Tim, all right, thank you, Nelly, as we count you
Speaker 5: down the first pitch.
Speaker 3: Dodger fans, get your game day meal on and Shaky's
Speaker 3: Pizza parlor. What are your Shaky's Pizza, Shake it and mojos?
Speaker 5: Right now? Shaky dot com coming up here, I'm wrong
Speaker 5: with casino. Dodgers on deck. You're gonna hear from the manager,
Speaker 5: Dave Roberts.
Speaker 3: We're gonna hear from the man of the night on
Speaker 3: his bobblehead nine Clayton Kershaw, future Hall of Famer DV
Speaker 3: of course checks in.
Speaker 5: Throughout the hour. We'll hear from Charlie Steiner.
Speaker 3: We dive deeper into this pitching matchup, Ohtani Rewind and
Speaker 3: Kirsten Watson.
Speaker 5: When we come back. That's all coming up. So he
Speaker 5: leads you.
Speaker 3: Up to Dodgers and Brewers on this Friday night. Thanks
Speaker 3: for being with us. I'm Tim Kas's the back to
Speaker 3: 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 Law.
Speaker 3: It's the Dodgers and the Brewers on this Friday night.
Speaker 3: Yoshinobu Yamamoto on the mound, first pitch coming up at
Speaker 3: seven ten.
Speaker 1: This is the Otani ree.
Speaker 7: Why now the three to one high fly ball to
Speaker 7: center field is.
Speaker 5: Way back and it is high up a wall.
Speaker 2: He didn't miss a home run by a foot or two.
Speaker 7: But Otani begins the proceedings with a double high off
Speaker 7: the wall.
Speaker 5: And straightaway center show.
Speaker 3: Hey Otani last night with a double, his twenty fourth
Speaker 3: of the season, one for four now hitting two ninety
Speaker 3: two on the season three ninety one on base per
Speaker 3: Sentday's Dodgers were three outs away.
Speaker 5: From a win. Unfortunately they get beat by the Brewers
Speaker 5: five to four.
Speaker 1: This is Kirston's corner with Kirston Watson and Kirson.
Speaker 3: Now joins us from the stadium. Brought to my Cars
Speaker 3: for kids. The easiest way to get rid of that
Speaker 3: old car. Donating today and that car could be picked
Speaker 3: up tomorrow. That easy donating now at carsfur Kids dot
Speaker 3: org Det's cars with a k if only pitching in
Speaker 3: baseball that easy, especially closing out games, because right now
Speaker 3: the Dodger's bullpen is having a tough time doing a Kirson.
Speaker 12: They are you know Edwin Diez has now had three
Speaker 12: blown saves recently and so for what I can tell
Speaker 12: you is he is someone who he will be ready
Speaker 12: to speak at his locker after the game and he
Speaker 12: will tell you what is happening. Even last night he
Speaker 12: shared that he just felt the fastball command was not there.
Speaker 12: And that's what's been tough with him is since coming
Speaker 12: off of this surgery, there have been times where it's
Speaker 12: been the slider is missing, the fastball is not there.
Speaker 12: When he was in Arizona for him when after the
Speaker 12: back to back triples, how he was able to get
Speaker 12: out of that inning only giving up that one run
Speaker 12: and having a runner on third with no outs for him.
Speaker 5: To get out of that.
Speaker 12: He showed a different level of intensity and it felt
Speaker 12: like that was going to potentially be the turning point
Speaker 12: for him, but unfortunately that just hasn't been the case.
Speaker 12: When he spoke last night, he talked a lot about
Speaker 12: how he's just looking to get back to that consistency
Speaker 12: at the moment, and you have to believe the track record.
Speaker 12: He has had some times in the past where things
Speaker 12: haven't necessarily gone his way, but he's been able to
Speaker 12: get back on track, and so that is where Unfortunately
Speaker 12: it's just not just him. There are other guys that
Speaker 12: are also struggling. So it's just a matter of hopefully
Speaker 12: they can just kind of go one pitch at a
Speaker 12: time and hopefully there can be a little bit, if
Speaker 12: not momentum, just kind of the passing of the baton.
Speaker 12: And they say hitting is contagious, but sometimes pitching can
Speaker 12: also be contagious. Maybe we just need something positive to
Speaker 12: happen to the bullpen and other guys allowing them to.
Speaker 2: Build on that.
Speaker 9: Certainly.
Speaker 3: I remember this Dodger's bullpen a couple of months ago
Speaker 3: was the best in baseball and had a consecutive innings.
Speaker 5: Is not giving up an earned run, so it can
Speaker 5: be done.
Speaker 3: Speaking of good news, positive note, Will Smith was in
Speaker 3: the batting cage today.
Speaker 5: He sure was.
Speaker 12: He continues to make progress, you know, with talking to him,
Speaker 12: he has shared that he feels good. You know, he's
Speaker 12: not necessarily ready for a rehab assignment just yet, and
Speaker 12: even he needs to take part in a live VP.
Speaker 12: But the fact that he was able to get into
Speaker 12: the cave and to swing, the fact that he is
Speaker 12: waking up and he's not having any pain, those are
Speaker 12: huge things. Their hope is that he can be back
Speaker 12: by mid September, maybe late September. So they're putting by
Speaker 12: doing this today. It's just another really good step in
Speaker 12: the right direction, putting him in a position to be
Speaker 12: back in September. So today was a big day. I
Speaker 12: even teased him when he walked out and he had
Speaker 12: the bad in his hand. I said, oh, my goodness,
Speaker 12: is it a big day for us or we doing something?
Speaker 12: He goes He just laughed and he was like, it's
Speaker 12: a big day or relax it's.
Speaker 5: A big day.
Speaker 1: But he relax.
Speaker 12: I said, okay, fine, I'll simmer down because you know what,
Speaker 12: it wasn't just him in the cage. Was also Dalt
Speaker 12: and rushing and he continues to nurse that UCL injury.
Speaker 12: He was saying that he's been able to keep the
Speaker 12: bat moving and he doesn't really have any He does't
Speaker 12: any pain when he's swinging in the bat. He has
Speaker 12: not played catch or thrown the ball just yet, but
Speaker 12: he is optimistic that he can be in a position
Speaker 12: to continue to strengthen the muscles around that elbows, that
Speaker 12: he could be a viable option not only just to
Speaker 12: catch a game, but even I mean Dave's hope. They
Speaker 12: want to keep the back going, to be a lefty
Speaker 12: off the bat, off the bench, but to also be
Speaker 12: in a position where he could play the field as well.
Speaker 5: So it was a good day.
Speaker 12: It's a good day when you can see some of
Speaker 12: the injured guys just making continuing to mix progress.
Speaker 5: That is certainly good news. Kirsty. We appreciate it. Well,
Speaker 5: check in with you after the game.
Speaker 3: Still to come here on Marongo Casino Dodgers on deck
Speaker 3: will dive deeper into this pitching matchup.
Speaker 5: David bat Day goes one on one with.
Speaker 3: Clayton Kershaw on Clayton Kershaw Bobblehead Night. I'm next at
Speaker 3: injury report and we'll hear from the manager yourself, Dave Roberts.
Speaker 3: It's the Dodgers and Brewers on this Friday and night and.
Speaker 5: First pitch at seven ten.
Speaker 3: I'm Tim Katson's the back to back World Series champion
Speaker 3: Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 1: As we were saying yes, is Marongo Casino Dodgers on
Speaker 1: deck on the official home of LA Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 3: Marongo Casino Dodgers on deck in t news on this
Speaker 3: Friday night. Thanks for being with us as we leads
Speaker 3: up to first pitch. Dodgers and the Brewers, Marongo Casino
Speaker 3: Resort and Spy a grand slam for good times. Yoshinobu
Speaker 3: Yamamoto on the mountain, first pitch coming up at seven ten.
Speaker 1: He's the LA Dodgers injury report.
Speaker 3: Is that by UCLA healthy, official medical partner of the
Speaker 3: Los Angeles Dodgers.
Speaker 5: You heard Herriston allude to it. Good news.
Speaker 3: Dalton Russian, who's on the iel after the elbow injury
Speaker 3: took batting practice today, as did Will Smith. That was
Speaker 3: great to see him in the batting cage there taking
Speaker 3: VP on the field. Blake trying to throw a sim
Speaker 3: game to hitters yesterday out of Dodger Stadium. Tyler Glass
Speaker 3: now on a minor league rehab assignment in TRIPLEA, Oklahoma City.
Speaker 5: All right, let's head back out to the ravine and
Speaker 5: check in with the Dodger skipper.
Speaker 9: Any questions for Dave Dave?
Speaker 1: Can you just describe Dave?
Speaker 9: Can you talk about the pressure in.
Speaker 1: The dugouts with Dave Roberts.
Speaker 13: I have conversations. It's not as essentially, you know, each
Speaker 13: guy is different. They're all working their tails off to
Speaker 13: be more consistent. I don't think it's necessarily a child
Speaker 13: and saying you know, I think that there's clear things
Speaker 13: that each one of these guys can do to be
Speaker 13: more consistent. But Josh Bard has a good handle on it,
Speaker 13: and so I think that, Yeah, the conversations on how
Speaker 13: they can be better, you know, the catchers, how they
Speaker 13: can drive them better. I think all that stuff are happening.
Speaker 5: Yeah, thing where it can.
Speaker 12: Be like anywhere, and you know, whether it's one thing
Speaker 12: one really good and just.
Speaker 1: That things can kind of get back on.
Speaker 3: Track for them.
Speaker 9: It's just one way to time.
Speaker 13: It is a one pitch at a time situation. I
Speaker 13: do think that, you know, when you're pitching in hot
Speaker 13: spots every night, every seems like every outing for our
Speaker 13: relievers has been a leverage situation, and so I think
Speaker 13: that that makes it tougher. And you know, margins are smaller,
Speaker 13: So I think that, you know, we've got to find
Speaker 13: ways to kind of give them a little bit of
Speaker 13: margin two. You know. But with that said, you know
Speaker 13: what the situations the situation, and they they've got to
Speaker 13: be consistent and you know they're they're they're trying their
Speaker 13: tails off.
Speaker 1: Quent that how much does it add to that puzzle?
Speaker 3: Knowing that you only have a seven.
Speaker 13: Man pullpen right now, it's tough. It's tough to navigate.
Speaker 13: We have a seven man pen in the middle of
Speaker 13: thirteen in a row. You know, there's a point of
Speaker 13: trying to push starters, to be smart with them. Essentially
Speaker 13: all of our relievers are overworked right now, and so
Speaker 13: then trying to be mindful of their performance and health
Speaker 13: and so, but you still have to now at home,
Speaker 13: you have to convert twenty seven outs, so all that
Speaker 13: stuff plays into it.
Speaker 3: All right, there's a manager, Dave Roberts, talking about the
Speaker 3: bullpen and where they stand right now, and it's been
Speaker 3: a rough go, especially for Edwin Diaz as of like, well,
Speaker 3: we continue here on Wrongo Casino Dodgers on Deck. We
Speaker 3: will check in with David Vase, get you the very
Speaker 3: latest show. Hey Otani throw a bullpen just a little
Speaker 3: while ago. Dv will tell us all about it. We'd
Speaker 3: lead you up to Dodgers and Brewers. First pincherm unflow
Speaker 3: Field the Dodgers TATEU. We're coming up at seven ten.
Speaker 3: I'm Tim Kates is the backback World Suria Champion Dodgers
Speaker 3: Audio Network.
Speaker 1: This is Marongo Cassino Dodgers Hunters game on your home
Speaker 1: for La Dodgers.
Speaker 5: Baseball, Dodgers and Brewers Game two.
Speaker 3: This four game set Yoshinobu Yamamoto on the Mount Dodgers
Speaker 3: Baseball brought to you by Alpto.
Speaker 5: Born in La, made for your game day.
Speaker 3: Al Poto brings authentic Mexican style tomato sauces, Salsa's hot
Speaker 3: sauces all right to your plate.
Speaker 5: El Pato Gourmet and.
Speaker 1: Akin joining Tim Kates on Dodgers Hunt Deck.
Speaker 9: I accept everybody for who they are.
Speaker 1: This is Dodger insider David Basse.
Speaker 3: All right, DV show, Hey Otani threw a bullpen session
Speaker 3: today just a little while ago.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I actually saw show Hay in the clubhouse while
Speaker 6: I was talking to Blake Snell and Trek Scooble, and
Speaker 6: show Hay was in a good mood before he threw
Speaker 6: that bullpen session. And then we saw him come out
Speaker 6: here look like he was suited and booted in his
Speaker 6: batting practice uniform, ready to go out and throw a
Speaker 6: bullpen session, which he did, and he threw exactly the
Speaker 6: same amount of pitches that he threw in Philadelphia, thirty
Speaker 6: four pitches he threw in that bullpen session with Andrew
Speaker 6: Freeman and Mark Pryor watching. He threw all of his
Speaker 6: pitches outside of the cut fastball from what we observed.
Speaker 6: So we'll see how he performs tonight, but more importantly,
Speaker 6: how that left knee feels tomorrow after throwing this bullpen
Speaker 6: session and the first one that he has thrown since
Speaker 6: that won thirty four pitch bullpen session in Philadelphia.
Speaker 9: That worst his pause of pitching.
Speaker 3: Dave other big news during batting practice today, a couple
Speaker 3: of injured Dodgers got in the cage.
Speaker 9: Yeah, how about that?
Speaker 6: Two Louisville catchers for the Dodgers taking batting practice on
Speaker 6: the field. Unfortunately, both on the IL, Will Smith and
Speaker 6: Dalton Rushing. Rushing obviously cannot throw right now. He's gonna
Speaker 6: try to go through some throwing in progression, but at
Speaker 6: the very least he can still hit and could be
Speaker 6: a threat down the road for the Dodgers as a
Speaker 6: left handed bat off the bench. But the big news
Speaker 6: was Will Smith, who has been on the IL with
Speaker 6: that neck injury for the better part of two months,
Speaker 6: took batting practice on the field for the first time
Speaker 6: since being on the IL.
Speaker 9: And just gotta tell you.
Speaker 6: Just seeing Will Smith come around the clubhouse while the
Speaker 6: media is there, him do some sort of Dodger Foundation
Speaker 6: event with Steven Nelson a couple of days ago, him
Speaker 6: catching a bullpen earlier today, and then taking batting practice
Speaker 6: on the field. From the people I've spoken to around
Speaker 6: the Dodgers, it is trending in the right direction. It
Speaker 6: wasn't looking good about a month ago, but things have
Speaker 6: turned the corner for him. So he's trending in the
Speaker 6: right direction and possibly, as we have said before, september's
Speaker 6: a realistic timetable for him to return.
Speaker 5: Let's hope.
Speaker 3: So, David is brought to you by a Ford summer
Speaker 3: sales event. Don't wait hurrying now for the best offers
Speaker 3: of the year. Go to buy Ford now dot com
Speaker 3: or you're south of California Ford Dealer for more information.
Speaker 5: Ford Official vehicle of Major League Baseball.
Speaker 3: All right, David, Let's say the Dodgers have the lead
Speaker 3: ninth inning, who closes for them tonight?
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's been the debate raging here at Dodger Stadium
Speaker 6: amongst the media and just trying to survey people that
Speaker 6: have been around the team all year long, not just media, coaches, players.
Speaker 6: It's kind of a split tim Half say let Edwin
Speaker 6: Diaz continue to try to work out his issues in
Speaker 6: the ninth inning to get that rust off, and half say, hey,
Speaker 6: let him work it out in the seventh inning. But
Speaker 6: I'm starting to lean towards the side of having DZ
Speaker 6: close tonight because Tanner Scott's been used a lot. He's
Speaker 6: been used seven of the last ten games. The Dodgers
Speaker 6: are in the middle of thirteen in a row. The
Speaker 6: Dodgers need Edwin Diaz, so I'm gonna lean towards Edwin
Speaker 6: Diaz gets the ball in a safe situation tonight, we
Speaker 6: shall see all right.
Speaker 5: DV good stuff. I'll check back you with you just
Speaker 5: a little bit day.
Speaker 3: It's gonna go one on one with Clayton Kershaw coming
Speaker 3: up in about fifteen minutes.
Speaker 5: Still to come here. We're gonna get deep into this
Speaker 5: pitching matchup. But I'm next for Dodgers.

Speaker 3: Visit your So Cal Verizon store today. We say hello
Speaker 3: to Charlie Steyner.
Speaker 4: All right, Tim, We're now down to the final thirty
Speaker 4: nine games of the regular season. Still the Dodgers at
Speaker 4: seventy three and forty nine, eight in front of San Diego,
Speaker 4: nine in front of Arizona, and the Brewers at seventy
Speaker 4: five and forty seven. After their win last night, they
Speaker 4: have a two game margin on the Dodgers.
Speaker 8: The Dodgers are half.
Speaker 4: A game behind Atlanta, so in the battle for those
Speaker 4: two buys in the first round of the playoffs, the
Speaker 4: Dodgers are on the outside looking in after last night's game,
Speaker 4: which was probably the Dodgers' worst loss of the season,
Speaker 4: and for the Brewers it was their best win of
Speaker 4: the season. They got swept in San Diego, down four
Speaker 4: to two with one out and the ninth against Diaz
Speaker 4: and the four consecutive singles.
Speaker 9: That tied the score.
Speaker 4: Vezi came in bower with the RBI single Dodgers retired
Speaker 4: in order in the bottom of the nine.
Speaker 10: I'll tell you what sometimes painful knight. You just can't
Speaker 10: imagine sometimes the battles on what we read in the newspapers,
Speaker 10: because if we look at the the pres winning that
Speaker 10: series against the Brewers down in San Diego before they
Speaker 10: came in here yesterday morning, was a recamp of that
Speaker 10: painful loss in extra innings by the Brewers. Their headline
Speaker 10: was worst loss.
Speaker 2: Of the season.
Speaker 10: And as you just said, the Dodgers last night against
Speaker 10: the Brewers suffered maybe their worst.
Speaker 9: Loss of the season.
Speaker 10: And if there's a remedy in searchable area for what
Speaker 10: they're going to do to close things out, But it's
Speaker 10: not just the closer, Charlie. What we've seen as a
Speaker 10: ball club that's just not playing up to its capabilities,
Speaker 10: and boy do they have capabilities.
Speaker 4: Diaz has three blown saves in his last four outings.
Speaker 4: So now he's had fourteen appearances this year, seven before
Speaker 4: the nano surgery or the needle where you had the
Speaker 4: six innings pitched in the ERF ten and a half.
Speaker 4: In the seven games back from the nanos surgery, an
Speaker 4: ERF twelve seventy one a batting average against the four fourteen.
Speaker 4: He's the closer in the dilemma that Dave Roberts has.
Speaker 4: If not him, then who.
Speaker 10: Yeah, exactly, And for Dave he was pressed last night
Speaker 10: about it, and then a little bit this afternoon as well.
Speaker 10: Then for Roberts he said, Okay, which way do I go?
Speaker 10: You know, what's the option? Well, there seemed to be
Speaker 10: an option before Diaz came back. But that being said,
Speaker 10: it's not just in one area. I mean, the Dodgers
Speaker 10: have not taken advantage of opportunities with runners in scoring position.
Speaker 10: They've hit into way too many double play balls that
Speaker 10: take them out of big inning possibilities. And the fact
Speaker 10: we have not seen the Dodgers. We've talked about this
Speaker 10: at Lenked over the last three weeks they have not
Speaker 10: been playing Chris baseball, and you can point to the defense,
Speaker 10: and you can also point to the base running fall
Speaker 10: in that category.
Speaker 4: Y'a'm amoto against Robert ga and yamamotos won his last
Speaker 4: two starts against Milwaukee, and he got a two sixty
Speaker 4: six er through.
Speaker 9: Sixty nine starts.
Speaker 5: In his career.
Speaker 4: And uh right right behind Oral Hersheiser, Zach Brank and
Speaker 4: Andy's Messig Smith with the lowest ra gassert the Dodgers
Speaker 4: will be facing him for the second time this year.
Speaker 10: Gonna find out what happens because yamamotove we look at
Speaker 10: the three years I ran across these numbers today looking
Speaker 10: at him, in the three years with the Dodgers, he's
Speaker 10: made sixty nine starts, his ERA is just two point
Speaker 10: sixty six, and in the three years he's allowed combined
Speaker 10: just a one ninety five batting average against. He's been
Speaker 10: a delight to watch and.
Speaker 4: He's gonna have to be a stopper tonight, second game
Speaker 4: of this big four game series of Dodgers and the
Speaker 4: Brewers coming up to him.
Speaker 5: All right, Thank you, Charlie.
Speaker 3: Dodgers Baseball presented by uniclow Field at Dodgers Stadium, is

Speaker 3: a motto on the mound on Clayton Kershaw bobblehead night.
Speaker 3: First pitch coming up at seven ten. Dodgers Baseball brought
Speaker 3: to you by Shaky's Pizza Parlor, the official pizza partner
Speaker 3: of the Dodgers broadcast. When it's game night, it's group
Speaker 3: night at Shaky's dot Com.
Speaker 1: And now what will likely be vast fielding insults from
Speaker 1: a Dodger player.
Speaker 5: It's an engagement of endearments.
Speaker 1: It is high and tight.
Speaker 6: Well, Clayton Kershaw's back in the house. Not for NBC,
Speaker 6: not for any reason than to be celebrated on another
Speaker 6: great Bobblehead night.
Speaker 9: He brought his family out.
Speaker 6: He's dressed like he used to be, in a T shirt,
Speaker 6: Dodger T shirt, Dodger shorts, Dodger hat, playing catch with
Speaker 6: his son Charlie. And it's great to have Clayton on
Speaker 6: the pregame show. He's been very much in demand this afternoon,
Speaker 6: but we have finally tracked him down.
Speaker 9: Thanks a lot for the time.
Speaker 15: Anything for you, Dave, really, no, but no, I'm not
Speaker 15: here just for I'm a special assistant today. I'm being
Speaker 15: I'm fulfilling my job requirements. I'm here in somewhat of
Speaker 15: a uniform, helping in quotations as much as I can.
Speaker 9: Okay, perfect.
Speaker 6: This is a great opening to Clayton Kershaw's evaluation of
Speaker 6: the Dodger season.
Speaker 8: I mean, I think they're playing great.
Speaker 15: I mean, obviously it's been a little bit of a
Speaker 15: rough patch recently, but they're still in a great spot.
Speaker 8: And you know, I said this the other day.
Speaker 15: I feel like their roster now, I mean it might
Speaker 15: be top to bottom, like the best roster I think
Speaker 15: I've ever seen, you know, between my time here and
Speaker 15: then this past year, I think it's just one through forty.
Speaker 15: I think this roster is just unbelievable, and you know,
Speaker 15: you get everybody back back healthy, and you get everybody.
Speaker 15: You know, it's a lot to say to get everybody
Speaker 15: clicking at the same time. But that's what the Dodgers do.
Speaker 15: They get ready for October, and that's what they're doing
Speaker 15: right now.
Speaker 6: Everybody in LA is very emotional Clayton over the way
Speaker 6: things went down last night.
Speaker 9: How do you manage a bullpen?
Speaker 6: You've seen a lot of different versions of Dodger bullpens.
Speaker 6: I know ken Lee was the closer for a long time,
Speaker 6: but is it a lot to expect Edwin Diaz after
Speaker 6: elbows surgery to come back and be that guy that
Speaker 6: we know he can be.
Speaker 15: I mean, I think, you know, I think managing a
Speaker 15: bullpen obviously, I've never been a manager, but I think Doc,
Speaker 15: I think Doc would probably say it too. Is like
Speaker 15: figuring out the bullpen is probably the hardest job, hardest
Speaker 15: part of your job, because it's just a roller coaster sometimes,
Speaker 15: you know, And even though they're all individual guys down there,
Speaker 15: I do feel like they feed off each other and
Speaker 15: I feel like there's a lot of momentum given and
Speaker 15: a lot of momentum that matters in the bullpen and
Speaker 15: when everybody, when everybody's on the same page, it's a
Speaker 15: really good track. And obviously these guys are super talented
Speaker 15: and Edwin's no different.
Speaker 8: So, yeah, like you said.
Speaker 15: It, he's coming off surgery. It's a it's a quick
Speaker 15: rehab from an elbow surgery, no matter how small. And
Speaker 15: you know, I do think that ultimately he's going to
Speaker 15: be the guy getting the outs in the ninth inning
Speaker 15: when it matters, And I think that's the way that
Speaker 15: we're built and I think that's the way that we
Speaker 15: want it.
Speaker 6: Clayton Kershaw is our guest. The first time we've spoken
Speaker 6: to Clayton Kershaw since Derek's Schoobel was acquired by the
Speaker 6: Dodgers at the trade deadline. What have you seen from
Speaker 6: him in his first two starts and what were your
Speaker 6: interactions like with him with the World Baseball Classic.
Speaker 15: Yeah, I got to know him as well as you know,
Speaker 15: as well as you can, and you know, ten days,
Speaker 15: two weeks at the WBC, and you know, reached out
Speaker 15: when he was here, and you know, watched his first
Speaker 15: two starts, and I think he's gonna go great. I
Speaker 15: think he's you know, obviously it hasn't been like elite
Speaker 15: elite Schooble the first two times out, but it's still
Speaker 15: really good and the stuff is unbelievable. The change up
Speaker 15: is a trick pitch almost how much it moves and
Speaker 15: how guys swing at it. So what I love most
Speaker 15: is just like the competitiveness, the tenacity, like he really
Speaker 15: wants to pitch, you know, he wants to be out
Speaker 15: there in the big moment, and he's gonna get that
Speaker 15: opportunity here and I'm really excited to see it.
Speaker 6: Do you foresee him falling in love with this team
Speaker 6: and this city and maybe staying a little longer than
Speaker 6: a half a year.
Speaker 8: I don't know, Dave.
Speaker 15: Now that I'm not playing, you're asking me like managerial
Speaker 15: in front office questions.
Speaker 8: I don't know if that's fair yet I'm not prepared
Speaker 8: for that.
Speaker 6: Okay, I apologize, I know, but I feel like you
Speaker 6: watch from Afar.
Speaker 15: I do watch. I watch every game, and you know
Speaker 15: I miss it. I miss being around. I don't I
Speaker 15: don't miss throwing a ball. I know I'm done with that,
Speaker 15: but I miss just like hanging out talking with the
Speaker 15: guys and being being around and shagging BP and it
Speaker 15: was really fun. My Charlie's out there today running around,
Speaker 15: so you know, it's really fun to get to do
Speaker 15: all that stuff again. And daughter say, it's a special place.
Speaker 8: Man missed it.
Speaker 6: A lot of guys talk about just the withdrawal they
Speaker 6: have the first year after retirement and where they kind
Speaker 6: of channel that competitiveness that got them to where you were.
Speaker 6: Have you figured all that out? Are you having struggles
Speaker 6: with finding a routine?
Speaker 8: I don't know.
Speaker 15: I mean, yeah, the routine part, just because you know,
Speaker 15: summer is a different animal with kiddos.
Speaker 8: I'm learning, you know, like you're just I mean, it's
Speaker 8: a lot of fun.
Speaker 15: You've got to do a lot of fun stuff, but
Speaker 15: there's no structure, there's no routine.
Speaker 8: You know, you just kind of wake up and all right,
Speaker 8: what are we gonna do today?
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 8: So we've done a lot of that and it's been
Speaker 8: really fun though. I really enjoyed it. But I don't
Speaker 8: know if I have a competitive outlet. I don't.
Speaker 15: I wouldn't say outside of baseball that I'm a very
Speaker 15: competitive Like I don't, like I've been playing golf, but
Speaker 15: I don't try to win because I'm not in the
Speaker 15: good you know, like if I was good at something else,
Speaker 15: maybe i'd be competitive.
Speaker 8: I'm not really good at.
Speaker 6: Anything else, so I figure you'd just be playing ping
Speaker 6: pong all day.
Speaker 15: There's surprisingly, there's not that many people that want to
Speaker 15: come over on a Tuesday morning and slap the ball around.
Speaker 8: You know, there's not too many.
Speaker 9: Are they at work?
Speaker 8: I guess I don't know. Whatever people do.
Speaker 6: Yeah, can you ever see yourself coaching or being like
Speaker 6: a pitching coach in.
Speaker 9: The minor leagues?
Speaker 6: And no, now you can see yourself roving or doing
Speaker 6: like what Sandy did to a certain extent.
Speaker 9: I was just wondering. I never asked you that.
Speaker 8: No, Okay, uh, I love baseball.
Speaker 15: I love being here. I don't really want to go
Speaker 15: to you know, so yeah, I don't I no offense guys,
Speaker 15: but I want to be here.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 6: So what if Robleski today asked you, like, hey, can
Speaker 6: you help me get back on track?
Speaker 9: Do you feel like you have the wherewithal to do that?
Speaker 8: I love that. Yeah, like these guys, like big league guys.
Speaker 8: I love helping out. I think it's really fun.
Speaker 15: You know, there's obviously not you don't have to help
Speaker 15: as much because I know what they're doing, you know,
Speaker 15: but like just to be like a sounding board or
Speaker 15: you know. I still watch every game and see all
Speaker 15: the pitches and so yeah, like as of this moment,
Speaker 15: I can't ever see myself like doing this full time,
Speaker 15: but when I am around and from Afar, I love
Speaker 15: to help out as much as I can.
Speaker 9: All Right, Well, thank you for the time. I really
Speaker 9: appreciate it.
Speaker 6: It's great to have you here, and it's awesome to
Speaker 6: see you in the Dodger gear. I mean, it makes
Speaker 6: people want to believe you're making a comeback, but we
Speaker 6: know that's not happening.
Speaker 15: I don't have it on me, Dave, but thanks for
Speaker 15: the interview. I feel like you're a little bit hard
Speaker 15: hitting this time, So next time, will you just hit
Speaker 15: me some easier questions?
Speaker 9: Okay, I apologize.
Speaker 6: How about can I do the Superman to you like
Speaker 6: Jock Peterson did. Maybe we'll talk Rangers baseball next time.
Speaker 15: Well I don't know anything about that, but yes, whatever
Speaker 15: you want.

Speaker 3: his fourteen start at the big league level.
Speaker 5: When he's good, he's really good.
Speaker 3: Sweeper, fastball sinker cutter is trying to get back to
Speaker 3: his form that he had in twenty twenty four. Last
Speaker 3: time out, four to two third innings, three runs, seven hits,

Speaker 5: He's faced the Dodgers ones back in May. Four and a.

Speaker 3: Series champion Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 1: As we were saying yes is Marongo Casino Dodgers on
Speaker 1: jack On, the official home of La Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 3: Getting close to the first pitch Dodgers and Brewers on
Speaker 3: this Friday night. Yoshinobu Yamamoto on the Mount first pitch
Speaker 3: coming up at seven to ten, Getting you ready for
Speaker 3: the start of the game with the Sapporo starts Great
Speaker 3: moments start with Sapporo beer. Whatever your taste preference, so
Speaker 3: Poro has you cover with a variety of crisp and
Speaker 3: refreshing loggers, including light and non alcoholic beers. Saporo good
Speaker 3: with sushi, but great with baseball. Before first pitch, let's
Speaker 3: head back out to the booth one final time.
Speaker 5: Steven Nelson, Rick Monday, Guys.
Speaker 2: K TC.
Speaker 11: Yoshinobu Yamamoto's first pitch will be thrown momentarily for the
Speaker 11: Dodgers second game of a four game series against the
Speaker 11: Milwaukee Brewers. Get four teams the top the National League,
Speaker 11: all within four games of each other, fighting for two
Speaker 11: buys in the Nation League postseasons. You have the Brewers,
Speaker 11: the Braves, the Dodgers, and then the Chicago Cubs. So
Speaker 11: Yamamoto against Gasser Moe. Your biggest key tonight is what.
Speaker 10: Well I think with the the bullpen seeing as many
Speaker 10: innings pitch as it has over the last couple of weeks,
Speaker 10: need a strong performance by Yama Moto. He's been able
Speaker 10: to fill the bill on that end of it. It
Speaker 10: does some deep diving. You look at the last three
Speaker 10: years for Yama Moto, since he's been with the Dodgers,
Speaker 10: He's made sixty nine starts. He's thirty and seventeen His
Speaker 10: ERA is barely above two point six in that period
Speaker 10: of time. How about the fact that, including this year,
Speaker 10: the last three seasons, he's allowed just a one to
Speaker 10: ninety five batting average against him. He has been absolutely terrific,
Speaker 10: and they need a good performance for him tonight. Kind
Speaker 10: of leave that bullpen alone for a few innings.
Speaker 11: To put Yamamoto's success into some historical context.
Speaker 2: To the first sixty nine starts of his.
Speaker 11: Career, two six six ERA, that'd be the fourth best
Speaker 11: ERA by a pitcher in his first seven and he
Speaker 11: starts with the Dodgers going back to nineteen twenty. That's
Speaker 11: the beginning of the live ball era, trailing the Bulldog
Speaker 11: or Herscheizer, Zach Grinky and as Andy Messersmith. That's how
Speaker 11: good Yamamoto has been. That's how steady he has been.
Speaker 11: They need his steadying hand tonight as they try and
Speaker 11: even this series against Milwaukee. Tim, we'll get it back
Speaker 11: to you in the studio.
Speaker 5: All right, thank you very much.
Speaker 3: Guys, keep an eye with the padres, and the Diamondbacks
Speaker 3: are doing padres up seven to five ninth inning in
Speaker 3: Cleveland against the Guardians, so they're on the verge of winning.
Speaker 3: They'd pick up a half game going into this Dodger
Speaker 3: game tonight, and the Arizona Diamonbacks have already won, so
Speaker 3: the Dodgers need to win to keep pace not only
Speaker 3: with the Milwaukee Brewers and the Atlanta Braves in the
Speaker 3: National League for the top two spots, but for the
Speaker 3: top spot in the NL West. After the game is over,
Speaker 3: David Bassis got you cover with all the postgame festivities,
