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 1: the only reason the Dodgers are doing this because they
Speaker 1: can they printing money. The Dodgers just can't continue.
Speaker 3: It's not fair.
Speaker 1: Are making plans.
Speaker 4: 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 Cats.
Speaker 5: Hi, everybody, and welcome in two of Orongo Casino Dodgers
Speaker 5: on deck. On this Sunday, July the twelve, twenty twenty six,
Speaker 5: the final day before the All Star Break, is your
Speaker 5: Los Angeles Dodgers, first place atop the NL West, playhost
Speaker 5: to the Arizona Diamondbacks. Dodgers sixty one and thirty five
Speaker 5: on this season a twelve and a half game lead
Speaker 5: in the division, despites being only one game over five
Speaker 5: hundred and coming to LA to take on the Dodgers.
Speaker 5: The Diamondbacks have come in and beaten up on the
Speaker 5: Dodgers in the first two games in this series. Today,
Speaker 5: the Dodgers look to avoid getting swept in the final
Speaker 5: series before the All Star Break.
Speaker 3: Emmittshan on the mound.
Speaker 5: First pitch from uniclove Field, that Dodger Stadium was coming
Speaker 5: up at one ten between then and that we got
Speaker 5: a lot to get to here on Marago Casino Dodgers
Speaker 5: on deck, We're gonna check in with the Dodger manager
Speaker 5: Dave Roberts. Get his thoughts on this Dodgers team, what
Speaker 5: is happening this series as they been outscored eighteen to
Speaker 5: five by the Snakes. Also his thoughts on the MLB
Speaker 5: All Star Game, which he'll be managing the National League
Speaker 5: come up on Tuesday in Philadelphia. That's coming up in
Speaker 5: twenty minutes. We'll preview this pitching matchup. David Vess joins us.
Speaker 5: Of course, throughout the hour, he'll be live on the
Speaker 5: field as he works for Sports net LA. He'll also
Speaker 5: go one on one with Dodger All Star Justin Robleski.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's coming up in just a little bit.
Speaker 5: We'll hear from Dino Eble, Dodger third base coach and
Speaker 5: proud father of not one but two sons who have
Speaker 5: been drafted him back to back years in the first
Speaker 5: round by the Milwaukee Brewers. We got your Otani on
Speaker 5: In just a few minutes, we will check in with
Speaker 5: Tim Nevert and Rick Monday at the Galloping Ford Broadcast booth. Well,
Speaker 5: last night was supposed to be the stopper Yoshinobu Yamamoto
Speaker 5: to stop the Dodger skid. Yamamoto would get into a
Speaker 5: pitcher's duel with Brandon Fott. Both would go toe to
Speaker 5: toe for the first five innings. One run giving up
Speaker 5: by Yamamoto in the fourth on the Tim Tawa RBI
Speaker 5: ground out.
Speaker 3: That was it.
Speaker 5: It was a Diamondbacks one nothing lead until the sixth
Speaker 5: inning win. A leadoff walk unraveled for Yamamoto, who had
Speaker 5: a thirty one pitch inning Max Kepler. A sack fly
Speaker 5: made it two to nothing. Tim Tawa, who has become
Speaker 5: a Dodger killer RBI double Diamondbacks led three to nothing
Speaker 5: and they still weren't done.
Speaker 3: Two on for James McCann.
Speaker 6: Barrovsa on deck and there's a fly ball to left
Speaker 6: field and deep going back is tay Oscar Hernandez and
Speaker 6: it is gone a three run home run. Yamamoto has
Speaker 6: a look like what hit me? It's a five run
Speaker 6: sixth for the Diamondbacks.
Speaker 5: They lead six to nothing, James McCann three run home run.
Speaker 5: It was a five run six for the Diamondbacks against
Speaker 5: Yoshinobu Yamamoto. Dodgers in a big hole, down six to
Speaker 5: nothing bottom of the sixth, they would chip away a
Speaker 5: little bit against Brandon Fought. Andy Pohe has got it
Speaker 5: going with an RBI single, his sixty six run batted
Speaker 5: in of the season. Dodgers on the board, down six
Speaker 5: to one. Two batters later, Muki.
Speaker 6: One ball once stright, swinging the ground ball in the
Speaker 6: left field for a base hit rounding third on his
Speaker 6: way home. As pohead second run of the inning.
Speaker 3: It's now six to two. As Bets deliveries for Mookie.
Speaker 3: Bets is thirty first STARBI of the year.
Speaker 5: Mookie with the RBI single, that's the top tier playing
Speaker 5: the game, brought to you by ARCO quality, top tier
Speaker 5: gas for least. Unfortunately, that's all the Dodgers would get
Speaker 5: in the inning, down six to two, and it just
Speaker 5: got worse after that. Landing his first outing of the
Speaker 5: year back off the injured list, goes three. Indians gets
Speaker 5: up a run in the seventh and then two more
Speaker 5: in the eighth on back to back home runs from
Speaker 5: Nolan Aeronado and James McCann as the Rockies, or they
Speaker 5: think that as the Diamondbacks had a ninety two league
Speaker 5: feel like the Rockies who were just in town. Diamondbacks
Speaker 5: win the game by a final of ninety two. Branded
Speaker 5: fought since being recalled from Triple A. Reno pitched well,
Speaker 5: he gets to win. He's now three to one. Yoshanobo
Speaker 5: Yamamodo gets tagged with the loss. He falls to nine
Speaker 5: and six. Dodgers have now lost three of their last four.
Speaker 5: Not to mention, they also had another air last night.
Speaker 5: They've got seven airs now in the last four games.
Speaker 5: Dodgers need to get back on track and in a hurry.
Speaker 5: Emmitt Sheen on the mount in the series finale today,
Speaker 5: final game before the All Star Break. First pitch coming
Speaker 5: up in one ten and with more. Let's head out
Speaker 5: to the galvin Ford broadcast with us on the Sunday
Speaker 5: afternoon and say hello to Tim Neverert and Rick Monday.
Speaker 2: Guys, Tam, thank you very much getting except for the
Speaker 2: final game before the All Star Break. In the final
Speaker 2: game of this three game series, the Dodgers and the Diamondbacks,
Speaker 2: Dodgers come in with Major League baseball's best record at
Speaker 2: sixty one and thirty five, they're twelve and a half
Speaker 2: up on the Diamondbacks in the National League West. Meantime,
Speaker 2: the Diamondbacks just a game above five hundred, forty eight
Speaker 2: and forty seven twelve and a half back, but three
Speaker 2: and a half back now in the Wild Card. They
Speaker 2: have picked up two games in the last two days
Speaker 2: as they have outscored the Dodgers eighteen to five over
Speaker 2: the last two ballgames. In the meantime, the Dodgers have
Speaker 2: not been swept in a series this season, and trying
Speaker 2: to salvage a game in this three game set get
Speaker 2: a win before some head to Philadelphia for the All
Speaker 2: Star festivities and the others scatter for a few days
Speaker 2: of rest. The starting pitchers this afternoon, Emmt Sheean, right hander,
Speaker 2: will go for the Dodgers. He's four and six in
Speaker 2: a four to ninety one ERA. Mitch Bratt will get
Speaker 2: the start, no decisions and an ERA of three. This
Speaker 2: will be his major league start. He is replacing Zach
Speaker 2: Gallon today. Gallen's had some inflammation in his right elbow,
Speaker 2: and it's likely that Gallon will end up on the
Speaker 2: injured list before the day is over. In the meantime,
Speaker 2: always we look at this final game before the All
Speaker 2: Star break. Dave Roberts said last night after the game,
Speaker 2: got to find a way to get a win today
Speaker 2: heading into the break, feel good about yourselves as you
Speaker 2: get those extra days off.
Speaker 7: Yeah, And the bottom line is that means, quite frankly,
Speaker 7: you have to play better baseball than what they have played,
Speaker 7: in particular the last two games. I made three airs
Speaker 7: in that first game of this series against Arizona, and
Speaker 7: not only three physical errors, but didn't back up bases,
Speaker 7: the wrong cutoff man that didn't get runners over and
Speaker 7: situations like that. Last night made another air that was
Speaker 7: costly and then did not really deliver with runners in
Speaker 7: scoring position. In fact, in this series the Dodgers just
Speaker 7: two for eleven runners in scoring position. And for the
Speaker 7: last eighteen games they've hit very well as a team,
Speaker 7: but there has been a big letdown. If you look
Speaker 7: at the last two games, and they can play much
Speaker 7: better baseball than what we've seen.
Speaker 2: Well, you look at the lack of production with runners
Speaker 2: in scoring position, look at the errors. They have allowed
Speaker 2: nine or more runs and back to back games. They
Speaker 2: haven't done that since twenty twenty four in July when
Speaker 2: they lost back to back games to Milwaukee and Philadelphia
Speaker 2: nine to two and ten to one. How do they
Speaker 2: turn that around here the next nine.
Speaker 7: Well, I think to Tim is that this is the
Speaker 7: ball club they've had expectations of the longest home stand
Speaker 7: of the season to come out better than coming into
Speaker 7: the final game, whether five and four, just one game
Speaker 7: above the five hundred mark. That's got to improve. And
Speaker 7: I know the feeling is, oh, the Dodgers lost the game.
Speaker 7: How on earth did that happen? And especially if you
Speaker 7: look at the last two games, well, we've seen how
Speaker 7: it happened. They had not played well.
Speaker 2: Ely Israel Fonso will get the start behind the plate today,
Speaker 2: catching Emitt she and Otani of course at the top
Speaker 2: of the order. And Otani is expected to have his
Speaker 2: left knee drained after the game today before he gets
Speaker 2: some rest, and then we'll get ready to start the
Speaker 2: second half of the season.
Speaker 7: You know, and for guys that have the build up
Speaker 7: of fluid that can really relieve a lot of discomfort,
Speaker 7: and hopefully that's going to be the kid the case,
Speaker 7: he's not going to be on a plane and go
Speaker 7: to Philadelphia. They don't want him at outitude for a
Speaker 7: number of days until the team has to fly to
Speaker 7: New York open up the second half of the season.
Speaker 7: That'll be against the Yankees, then under Philadelphia, and they're
Speaker 7: back to New York to face the Mets.
Speaker 3: So there's some traveling also.
Speaker 7: But getting that knee where it's healthy and it's not
Speaker 7: going to be an issue is really at the top
Speaker 7: of the list.
Speaker 3: Obviously, he still.
Speaker 2: Has three home runs over his last five games with
Speaker 2: a bad knee or not. So Otani will lead off
Speaker 2: again today for the Dodgers. Dodgers and Diamondbacks. Emmett Chean
Speaker 2: against Mitch Bratt. That's the pitching matchup. Lineup's first pitch
Speaker 2: coming up Temple.
Speaker 5: All right, thank you, Tim, as we counting down the

Speaker 5: Dodgers six hits. Unfortunately, they couldn't muster much offense as
Speaker 5: they get beat by the Arizona Diamondbacks nine to two.
Speaker 3: Yes, shud have a big day for Dino Ebel.
Speaker 5: His son was drafted by the Milwaukee Brewers back to
Speaker 5: back years. Then an Ebel's son gets drafted in the
Speaker 5: first round. Brady and Trey, congratulations to their family. Dino
Speaker 5: Ebel heading back to the All Star festivities as an
Speaker 5: assistant coach with Dave Roberts on the National League team.
Speaker 5: He's also gonna be pitching batting practice in the home
Speaker 5: run derby to Bryce Harper of the Phillies.
Speaker 3: More on that, what David bes.
Speaker 4: Say, Hey, we're here with the magic arm. He's in
Speaker 4: demand for the home run derby. Bryce Harper reached out
Speaker 4: to him, he accepted, and that's the one and only
Speaker 4: Dino Ebles. So how did all this come together?
Speaker 3: Dino?
Speaker 8: Well, a few days ago, you know, he you know,
Speaker 8: I read, just like everybody else read that he was
Speaker 8: to look for a guy that can throw to him
Speaker 8: in the batting you know, the home run derby, and
Speaker 8: his dad wasn't going to do it, So that I
Speaker 8: think it was that same day that he texted me
Speaker 8: and said.
Speaker 9: Hey, if I get in the derby, would you be interested?
Speaker 8: And I said, yeah, just as long as I know
Speaker 8: that none of our guys are doing it, and if
Speaker 8: they're not, then I'm all in.
Speaker 9: And then he texted me and said, let's win it.
Speaker 8: So yeah, excited that honored always, you know, love pitching
Speaker 8: in those home run derbys and give a chance, get
Speaker 8: a chance to win it for him.
Speaker 9: So that's that's our goal.
Speaker 4: How do you know Bryce Harper so well? Does this
Speaker 4: go back to the World Baseball Classic where he saw
Speaker 4: the magic of a dino ebol batting practice?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 9: I think so.
Speaker 8: And you know I lived in Vegas at the time
Speaker 8: when he was in high school. I used to go
Speaker 8: watch him play in high school. And then there was
Speaker 8: a place where he used to go hit in the
Speaker 8: off season and I used to see him in there.
Speaker 8: So gradually twenty fifteen in Cincinnati, I brought my boys
Speaker 8: to the home run Derby when Poolhols asked me to
Speaker 8: throw to him.
Speaker 9: I got a picture with.
Speaker 8: Brady and Trey with Bryce back in twenty fifteen, and
Speaker 8: then yes, I mean the WBC.
Speaker 9: This year, he hit in Group one every day.
Speaker 8: I was a VP thrower, so I think that had
Speaker 8: a big part of it, and he liked how I threw.
Speaker 9: So very honored and blessed to be asked.
Speaker 4: It's a little short sighted to only remember you helping
Speaker 4: ta Oscar Hernandez win in twenty four. This goes back
Speaker 4: to when you were with the Angels. Didn't you help
Speaker 4: Vladimir Guerrero junior win?
Speaker 9: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Yeah, well yeah, junior senior senior.
Speaker 8: So in two thousand and seven, vlad asked me to
Speaker 8: throw for him and knew at San Francisco and we
Speaker 8: won it there, and then ta Oscar we won it
Speaker 8: in Dallas. I threw to Jock Peterson in Cleveland where
Speaker 8: little junior Guerrero beat Jock and that three uh we
Speaker 8: went extra overtime and three three innings or.
Speaker 9: Whatever they called it that year that he beat Jock.
Speaker 8: And then now last year's face off in the National
Speaker 8: League American League All Star Game, I threw to Schwarber.
Speaker 9: We won it.
Speaker 8: So then Harper asked me this year, So yeah, I'm excited.
Speaker 8: I can't wait to, you know, looking forward to doing it.
Speaker 4: When will you get some time with Bryce in Philly
Speaker 4: to maybe just practice.
Speaker 8: It will happen during our normal batting practice, and then
Speaker 8: once it starts, we go down in the cage and
Speaker 8: then we have plenty enough time to get to where
Speaker 8: he wants the ball, and I couldn't try to put
Speaker 8: it there, so we got enough time and plenty of
Speaker 8: swings to get used to me when we go out
Speaker 8: there and perform.
Speaker 4: You're the best third base coach in baseball? How does
Speaker 4: it feel to have this reputation of being one of
Speaker 4: the best batting practice throwers.
Speaker 9: We'll always phil when you throw VP.
Speaker 8: And when I started this many years ago as a
Speaker 8: coach and manager in the minor leagues, at our job
Speaker 8: is to get really hit hard, so I always took
Speaker 8: it personally. You know, Guys get into slumpskuys don't feel well,
Speaker 8: you know, and you wanted them to come out and
Speaker 8: feel like Babe Ruth.
Speaker 9: And so that's always been a.
Speaker 8: Goal of mine, to throw great VP and find the
Speaker 8: sweet spot of a bat and so continue on. I
Speaker 8: do it every day here at Dodger Stadium, and I
Speaker 8: love doing it all.
Speaker 4: Right, Dodger fans and Philly fans will be reunited or
Speaker 4: united for the first time cheering on Bryce Harper as
Speaker 4: he goes for the home run derby, with Dino Ebel
Speaker 4: throwing to him.

Speaker 4: That you decided to Christopher Sanchez as the nationally started,
Speaker 4: you can.
Speaker 11: Confirm that, Wow, we're travels fast. Yeah. Christopher Sanchez, Uh,
Speaker 11: it is going to start. I think it's he's he
Speaker 11: deserves it. He's the hometown of you know, ballplayer. I
Speaker 11: think the city of Philly will enjoy watching support him.
Speaker 11: And uh, you know, I had a conversation with him
Speaker 11: this morning, with Donnie and the pitching staff and Christopher.
Speaker 11: So he is very grateful. And you know, in a
Speaker 11: time where guys are not wanting to participate and this
Speaker 11: guy in the Midsummer Classic for the fans, I think that,
Speaker 11: you know, this is a good thing. That he's very
Speaker 11: excited about pitching.
Speaker 4: Is that refreshing to have that type of gratitude considering
Speaker 4: everything that's gone on in the last week.
Speaker 11: It is? It is, you know, and there's there's certain
Speaker 11: circumstances where you know, guys can't play, they are injured.
Speaker 11: But this is an honor, and you know, it's not
Speaker 11: only just an honor to be named it, but also
Speaker 11: to be able to participate, you know, and want to participate.
Speaker 11: So Christopher wants to and I'm excited about naming him
Speaker 11: the starter in the All Star Game.
Speaker 4: DS and after outing yesterday in Ontario that he feels
Speaker 4: like you only needs two or three more of those,
Speaker 4: does that put him in play for upcoming road.
Speaker 1: Trip after the All Star break or is that still
Speaker 1: a little bit further away.
Speaker 11: You know, we'll see. I think that I think that
Speaker 11: the arm feels good, but there's also a command of
Speaker 11: getting major league hitters out situation. You know, I'm going
Speaker 11: to be make up. We're going to make sure that
Speaker 11: he's ready to go before we put him at the
Speaker 11: back end of a major league game. You know, I
Speaker 11: think that's fair too, not only him, but also you
Speaker 11: know our ball club.
Speaker 5: All right, there's Dave Roberts talking about a bunch of things.
Speaker 5: More on Edwin Diaz coming up in just a couple
Speaker 5: of minutes, and we'll be check in with David Vassay

Speaker 5: It's the Dodgers and Diamondbacks on this Sunday final game
Speaker 5: before the All Star Break. Emmitt Gien and rookie Mitch Bratt.
Speaker 5: The pitching matchup Dodgers Baseball is brought to you by
Speaker 5: al Poto born in La in May. For your game day,
Speaker 5: El Poto brings authentic Mexican style tomato, sauces, sauces and
Speaker 5: hot sauces right to your table every single time.
Speaker 3: El Poto Gourmet in a can.
Speaker 1: Joining Tim Kats on Dodgers on Deck.
Speaker 4: I accept everybody for who they are.
Speaker 1: This is Dodger insider David Bassi all right, DV.
Speaker 5: What is the plan exactly with show Aotani today he's
Speaker 5: leading off in the doesn't hit.
Speaker 12: Enter nia after the first game of this series, that
Speaker 12: he is going to have his knee drained after this
Speaker 12: game is over, and then during this All Star break
Speaker 12: he'll also receive a quarter zone injection in that left knee.
Speaker 12: So that is the schedule for him. He has a
Speaker 12: knee draining to look forward to after the final out
Speaker 12: of today's game. And one thing that he also talked
Speaker 12: about was the fact that it is his kneecap that
Speaker 12: he had surgically fused in twenty nineteen. September twenty nineteen,
Speaker 12: O'tani was born with two bone fragments in his kneecap.
Speaker 12: Most of us have one fused bone, and Otani to
Speaker 12: correct that he had that fused into one bone, but
Speaker 12: obviously it's still there when he pitches to get inflamed
Speaker 12: and now needs fluid drained from that left knee. So
Speaker 12: that's where all this stems from. He has no plans
Speaker 12: to deviate from being the two way player, and the
Speaker 12: Dodgers are going to map out his starts to have
Speaker 12: a day off follow it as much as possible. And
Speaker 12: Mark Pryor and Dave Roberts both have told me that
Speaker 12: it's a read and react situation, and it has been
Speaker 12: all season long with Otani and the pitching.
Speaker 5: David is brought to you by the Ford Summer Sales Event.
Speaker 5: Don't wait hurrying now for the best offers of the year,
Speaker 5: for the official vehicle of Major League Baseball.
Speaker 3: Edwin Diaz. What's the latest with the Dodger closer? He
Speaker 3: pitched last night?
Speaker 1: He did?
Speaker 12: He pitched in Ontario. He pitched a scoreless fourth inning.
Speaker 12: He loved where his fastball was at. He feels like
Speaker 12: he still has to get a feel for the slider,
Speaker 12: but he hit ninety eight miles an hour last night
Speaker 12: in that fourth inning in Ontario, and after the game
Speaker 12: it seemed like he was pushing to come back sooner
Speaker 12: rather than later.
Speaker 13: You know, I think if I got my fastball for
Speaker 13: a stride like I did to that we have a
Speaker 13: googoog result always. That's why I was vering my football,
Speaker 13: you know. I feel they don't have any chime with
Speaker 13: my fastball, so as soon I get the first hot
Speaker 13: I started.
Speaker 1: Throwing much later.
Speaker 13: I want to keep working on that too, and I
Speaker 13: feel really good you know, I was throwing both pitches
Speaker 13: for stride and shape and the chade was great. So
Speaker 13: I'm really happy. I want to be back as soon
Speaker 13: as possible to the big league. You know how I
Speaker 13: threw that book today and I think with me maybe
Speaker 13: three three more to more and more for more maybe
Speaker 13: at the most, I feel really good. I just gotta keep,
Speaker 13: you know, showing them I ready, my han's feeling great,
Speaker 13: and just let them make the decision to bring me back.
Speaker 12: Thanks for the Tower buzzers for bringing us post comments
Speaker 12: from Edwin Diaz. When I presented those comments to Dave

Speaker 5: on Deck, we will check you on. Rick Monday leads
Speaker 5: out to first pitch Dodgers and Diamondbacks. I'm Tim Kates'
Speaker 5: is the back to back World Series champion Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 1: This is Marongo Casino Dodgers on Deck on your home
Speaker 1: for the Blue All Season law.
Speaker 5: Kits the Dodgers and Diamondbacks one final time before the
Speaker 5: All Star Break, Image and rookie Mitch Bratt the Pitching Chumps.
Speaker 5: Time now for the Verizon startup as we are thirty
Speaker 5: four minutes away from the start of the game. Now, Verizon,
Speaker 5: you can lock in that low price for three years
Speaker 5: so you can save big. Visit your so Calvi Verizon store.
Speaker 5: Today we say hello to Rick Monday and Charlie Steinner.
Speaker 6: Guys. All right, tim, The All Star Break will begin
Speaker 6: immediately following our game today. Dodgers at sixty one and
Speaker 6: thirty five, still the best record in baseball, but they
Speaker 6: have been beaten to a pulp in the first two
Speaker 6: games of the series by the Arizona Diamondbacks, who've outscored
Speaker 6: the Dodgers eighteen to five. In fact, the Dodgers have
Speaker 6: been outscored twenty five to twelve in their last four
Speaker 6: games between Arizona and Colorado.
Speaker 1: MO.
Speaker 7: What the world gives, Well, they've been giving up a
Speaker 7: lot of runs, that's about it. They've not played well.
Speaker 7: There's no ifens and butts about it. They made three
Speaker 7: airs on Friday night, they made one constantly air last night.
Speaker 7: They have not been hitting. The pitching has been okay
Speaker 7: here and there, but this is a ball club, Charlie,
Speaker 7: that they've been playing like. They didn't realize that the
Speaker 7: All Star Break has not officially gotten underway yet. It
Speaker 7: doesn't take place until after the last out in the
Speaker 7: ninth ending today, so the Dodge is hopefully going to regroup,
Speaker 7: and for Emma Shean, this is the perfect time to
Speaker 7: just that forward as well, because the big right hander
Speaker 7: seventeen started a record of four and six. He has
Speaker 7: not pitched as well as he is able to do
Speaker 7: so thus far.
Speaker 6: It's been a roller coaster ride of a season for Shean.
Speaker 6: And last night, ya'm a moto really an uncharacteristically poor outing,
Speaker 6: And we were saying, even though three four innings into
Speaker 6: the games that he's given up two hits, but he
Speaker 6: doesn't look right, and it turned out he wasn't.
Speaker 7: I agree one hundred percent, And normally he is absolutely
Speaker 7: perfection when it comes down to the mechanics of throwing
Speaker 7: the baseball. Well, last night, six innings, he labored one
Speaker 7: hundred and three pitches. That's unusual to begin with, and
Speaker 7: especially for a guy that has allowed less than a
Speaker 7: one thirty average against when he gets ahead. In the
Speaker 7: counter hitters he walked for yes, one of them was intentional,
Speaker 7: but was not able to get the big out, in
Speaker 7: particular in the sixth inning. But on the other side
Speaker 7: of it, there was not any support at all till
Speaker 7: the Dodgers finally got on the board with their loan
Speaker 7: two runs, and that was with two outs and getting
Speaker 7: things going as they came up with three consecutive hits
Speaker 7: in order to manufacture those runs.
Speaker 6: Dodgers have not been swept this season. They're the only
Speaker 6: team in Major League Baseball that hasn't. I want to
Speaker 6: keep it that way. And so the Dodgers feeling, I.
Speaker 3: Don't know how they feel.
Speaker 6: Obviously, they're in first place. They've had the best record
Speaker 6: in baseball pretty much all year. They've been in first
Speaker 6: place over one hundred days. But they are kind of
Speaker 6: limping toward the finish line, not even the finish line
Speaker 6: half way point the refreshment break.
Speaker 7: Charlie, how many times have we been saying to the
Speaker 7: opposing teams and about the opposing teams, if you make
Speaker 7: an error and make a mistake against the Dodgers, you're
Speaker 7: probably going to wind up on the losing end of it.
Speaker 3: Well, it's been the.
Speaker 7: Dodgers that have made mistakes, not just the physical ears,
Speaker 7: they've made mental airs. They've not had a big bay
Speaker 7: since they haven't been backing up the bases all the time,
Speaker 7: throwing to the cutoff man. Just little things here and there,
Speaker 7: but it adds up to a big, big strength. There's
Speaker 7: no question that this is a ball club like everybody
Speaker 7: else in Major League Baseball. It's looking forward to a respite,
Speaker 7: but that respite does not start officially until after the
Speaker 7: ninth inning. Today. The Dodgers have a ball game to win,
Speaker 7: and one thing about it, this club has expectations. They
Speaker 7: do not want to be swept in this series.
Speaker 6: Diamondbacks last swept the Dodgers in twenty twenty three in
Speaker 6: the National League Division Series. The Snakes have not swept
Speaker 6: the Dodgers in a regular season series since April of
Speaker 6: twenty eighteen, and they haven't swept the Dodgers at Dodgers
Speaker 6: Stadium since twenty seventeen, So the Dodgers looking to write
Speaker 6: their ship. Dodgers and d Backs wrap up the nominal
Speaker 6: first half of the season. Lineups in first pitch coming
Speaker 6: up and Momas see or right after the All Star
Speaker 6: You got it, buddy?

Speaker 4: getting a long dessert call to go to Philadelphia.
Speaker 15: Thank you, thank you. I appreciate it. I appreciate it.
Speaker 4: How did you find out?
Speaker 15: Dot called me Lan nine holes and yeah, just get
Speaker 15: getting it in normal normal stuff. And uh yeah, he
Speaker 15: called me and let me know that I was, you know,
Speaker 15: gonna be on the All Star team. So I'm super exciting.
Speaker 15: I you know, called my family and called my girlfriend,
Speaker 15: call everybody and let him know.
Speaker 3: So that was cool.
Speaker 4: So here's the million dollar question. You felt like the
Speaker 4: door was still open for a chance to get this call,
Speaker 4: But did you make vacation plans just in case?
Speaker 15: No, Now, my plans were either here, stay in LA
Speaker 15: or be at the All Star Game. And I was
Speaker 15: hopefully leaning more towards All Star Game. So yeah, it's cool.
Speaker 15: I'm happy. I'm you know, now I got to book
Speaker 15: all these flights and figure all this stuff out. So
Speaker 15: I'm excited. I got got a busy day ahead of me,
Speaker 15: but I'm excited.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Justin Robleski started his Saturday by throwing a bullpen.
Speaker 4: You're already done with the first half for the Dodgers.
Speaker 4: Did you throw that bullpen because you got the nod
Speaker 4: to pitch on Tuesday.
Speaker 15: I'm gonna I'm gonna pitch on Tuesday. I believe that's
Speaker 15: that's the plan. So I'm excited and uh yeah, yeah,
Speaker 15: I through that bullpen. You know, just normal, normal bullpen
Speaker 15: day for me. But you know, if I don't pitch
Speaker 15: on Tuesday, whatever. But I think I think I am.
Speaker 15: I'm not really I'm not having I haven't dove into
Speaker 15: the weeds on all that stuff yet, but Doc told me.
Speaker 10: I think that I am going to pitch in the game.
Speaker 10: But I have no idea. I'm just excited to be there. Yeah,
Speaker 10: I'm just curious.
Speaker 4: On Saturday when you threw that bullpen, did you throw
Speaker 4: it because you're going to the All Star Game or
Speaker 4: would you have thrown it otherwise?
Speaker 15: I was gonna throw it either way, you know, keep
Speaker 15: my body in shape, stay sharp. I had a few
Speaker 15: things I wanted to work on, so just normal, normal
Speaker 15: business usual stuff.
Speaker 4: What do you believe has been the key to you
Speaker 4: being so successful this for staff?
Speaker 15: You know, I think it's a lot of things. I
Speaker 15: think it's some of its experience. Some of it's you know,
Speaker 15: just understanding my strengths and kind of continuing to harp
Speaker 15: on those and try to use those as good as
Speaker 15: I can. But you know, I've got, like I said,
Speaker 15: a great group of supporting people around here and my
Speaker 15: family and and everybody. So yeah, it's I think it's
Speaker 15: just a culmination of a lot of different things. But yeah,
Speaker 15: it's just it's been been crazy and it's been a
Speaker 15: good year so far. So hopefully, hopefully you can keep
Speaker 15: keep getting better and uh yeah take it to the
Speaker 15: second half.
Speaker 4: The All Star Game is not the end for Justin
Speaker 4: Robleski or the Dodgers. But who do you believe has
Speaker 4: helped you get to this level of your career?
Speaker 10: Wow, that's a that's a tough question.
Speaker 15: There's a lot of people, you know, a lot of
Speaker 15: people from you know, colleges I went to from you know,
Speaker 15: high school, coaches from my family obviously, that's those those
Speaker 15: are the biggest, biggest contributors to why I'm here is
Speaker 15: them and everything they've done for me, you know, Mom, Dad, grandparents,
Speaker 15: just kind of everybody, sister, everybody's just been been there
Speaker 15: for me this whole time and continuing to to, I
Speaker 15: don't know, stay with me on this this crazy journey
Speaker 15: I've had that I guess most people would not give up,
Speaker 15: but I think just you know, maybe be a little disheartened.
Speaker 15: And I've always just felt like, you know, they've always
Speaker 15: but whether it was delusion or not, they've always kind
Speaker 15: of fed into, you know, my belief in myself and
Speaker 15: my ability to kind of just honestly, number one, just
Speaker 15: get to the major leagues. And then obviously this is
Speaker 15: just kind of all, you know, icing on the cake
Speaker 15: right now. But obviously the goal is to have a
Speaker 15: have a long career and hopefully getting a couple more
Speaker 15: of these things. But I'd say a lot of it's
Speaker 15: my family, a lot of it's the coaches that are
Speaker 15: in this organization and top to bottom, just everybody just
Speaker 15: has been such great helps with me getting up here.
Speaker 15: And like I said, I can't thank the Dodgers organization
Speaker 15: enough just for you know, giving me the chance, and
Speaker 15: you know, because being an eleventh thrown guye not not
Speaker 15: those guys don't always get get a chance. So it's
Speaker 15: been super cool and I owe a lot to this organization.
Speaker 4: All Star Justin Robleski as our guest, You'll be in
Speaker 4: Philadelphia with so many other really good players, great pitchers.
Speaker 4: How much are you looking forward to being in the
Speaker 4: same room with those guys, being in the bullpen with
Speaker 4: those guys. How much do you think that's going to
Speaker 4: lend itself to you growing even more?
Speaker 10: Yeah, I'm excited.
Speaker 15: I'm excited to kind of to meet all those guys
Speaker 15: and you know, whether it's talk baseball, whether it's just
Speaker 15: shoot the normal normal talking stuff, you know, just just
Speaker 15: generally kind of being around guys that are that are
Speaker 15: you know, at that stage in the game is super cool.
Speaker 10: And I'm not gonna take it for grant.
Speaker 15: I'm trying to, you know, soak in as much as
Speaker 15: I can when I'm there and uh yeah, hopefully hopefully
Speaker 15: keep in touch with a lot of these guys. But yeah,
Speaker 15: it's super exciting something I'm obviously you know, I've always
Speaker 15: dreamed of and wanted to do is be an All Star,
Speaker 15: and you know, to get the chance to do it

Speaker 4: We'll send it back to you in the studio.
Speaker 5: Tim, All right, thanks a lot of DV. Congratulations to
Speaker 5: Justin Robleski. What a story bounced around it. A couple
Speaker 5: of colleges, because of injuries and coaching changes, finally got
Speaker 5: drafted after an arm issue in the eleventh round. Didn't
Speaker 5: know if he was going to be able to pitch
Speaker 5: a professional baseball worked his way up in the minor
Speaker 5: leagues very quickly. The Dodgers had a lot of confidence
Speaker 5: that he can get to the big leagues and be
Speaker 5: a major league pitcher. Was a reliever, an opener, bulkoning guy,
Speaker 5: and now emerged into this Dodgers' rotation here in twenty
Speaker 5: twenty six double digit wins. Just a great story from
Speaker 5: a great young man, Justin Robleski. All right, congratulations to
Speaker 5: him and all the Dodgers All Stars. So we lead
Speaker 5: you up to first pitch. Dodgers and Diamondbacks up next. Well,
Speaker 5: dive deep into this pitching matchup. Don't you go anywhere.
Speaker 5: I'm Tim Kates is the back to back World Series
Speaker 5: champion Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 1: This is Morongo Casino Dodgers Hunters on your home for
Speaker 1: La Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 5: It's the Dodgers and the Diamondbacks final game before the
Speaker 5: All Star Break. The teams will scattered. Dodger pitchers, players, coaches,
Speaker 5: Dave Roberts were all head to Philadelphia for the All
Speaker 5: Star Game on Tuesday at Citizens Big Park. We got
Speaker 5: a game to play today, Today, to play today. First
Speaker 5: pitch at one.
Speaker 1: Ten and now before the Dodgers hit the dinam we
Speaker 1: look at the pitching matchoup brought to.
Speaker 3: You by your Toyota Dealers. We make it easy.
Speaker 5: Mitch Bratt on the mound for the Diamondbacks, twenty three
Speaker 5: year old rookie left hander, acquired from the Texas Rangers
Speaker 5: at the deadline last year and the Merrill Kelly deal.
Speaker 5: He is ranked as the diamondbacks number twelve overall prospects.
Speaker 5: Started the year in Triple A Reno, making thirteen starts there,
Speaker 5: making his second start here in the big leagues, taking
Speaker 5: the place as Zach Gallon, who was placed on the
Speaker 5: injured list with a sore elbow. Did not factor in
Speaker 5: the one start that he made back on June twenty
Speaker 5: fourth against the Saint Louis Cardinals. He went three innings,
Speaker 5: one run, two hits, three strikeouts, and two walks. Recalled
Speaker 5: from Trip Lea, he features a highly unique and funky
Speaker 5: delivery that brings both his feet off the ground before
Speaker 5: releasing the baseball. Rather than throwing with elite velocity, he
Speaker 5: relies on picks, pitch mixes, and painting the corners with
Speaker 5: a fastball in the low nineties. Immit Shean on the
Speaker 5: mound for the Dodgers, twenty seven year old right hander
Speaker 5: making his seventeenth start this year. It's been an up
Speaker 5: and down twenty twenty six for Imagean. In his last
Speaker 5: outing a week ago against the Padres, he allowed one
Speaker 5: run on three hits while striking out five in a loss.
Speaker 5: He went just four to third innings in that contest
Speaker 5: and hasn't completed six innings since June first against these
Speaker 5: same Diamondbacks. In two career starts against them both this year,
Speaker 5: he's zero to one with a five to fifty nine ERRA.
Speaker 5: Nine bouts last face in June first, going six and
Speaker 5: a third, giving him three hits, two solo home runs,
Speaker 5: while striking out three in a loss. Emmett she and
Speaker 5: Mitch Bratt Dodgers Diamondbacks for fifteen minutes away from first pitch.
Speaker 3: Keys to the game are coming up next.
Speaker 5: I'm Tim Kates is the back to back World Series
Speaker 5: champion Dodgers on your network.
Speaker 1: This is Marongo Casino Dodgers on Tap on your home
Speaker 1: for the Blue All season long, It's.
Speaker 5: The Dodgers and the Diamondbacks. Em It she and rookie
Speaker 5: Mitch Bratt. The pitching matchup. First pitch coming up at
Speaker 5: one to ten. As we get you ready for the
Speaker 5: start of the game with the Supporo start Great Moments,
Speaker 5: Start with Sapporo beer, whatever your taste preference. Soporo has
Speaker 5: you covered with a variety of crisp and refreshing loggers,
Speaker 5: including light and non alcoholic beer. Soporo good with sushi,
Speaker 5: Great with baseball. We head back at to the booth
Speaker 5: one final time before first pitch. Tim Nevertrick Monday, guys.
Speaker 2: Thanks Tim. We look at their starting pitchers today. Immtt
Speaker 2: shean hoping to get some depth. In five of his
Speaker 2: sixteen starts this year, he has only lasted five innings
Speaker 2: or more. For the most part, he's not been able
Speaker 2: to go deep into ball games, a case in point
Speaker 2: four and a third in his last outing against San Diego.
Speaker 7: Yeah, and didn't pinch well either. And he's got better
Speaker 7: stuff than to be giving up fifteen home runs on
Speaker 7: top of it as well. So here's the other part too,
Speaker 7: is he has not thrown a lot of ground balls.
Speaker 7: How do you look at that? Well, he has only
Speaker 7: one ground bowl double play. His stuff can really play
Speaker 7: much much larger than what it is at the present time,
Speaker 7: and his ERA better at home but still hides over
Speaker 7: four and three quarters on the road is above five.
Speaker 7: And the thing to look at first inning, his ERA
Speaker 7: is approaching seven. He's also had trouble in the sixth
Speaker 7: inning where the ERA is approaching ten, and those are
Speaker 7: two innings that he's got to figure out a better
Speaker 7: way to get some outs quickly.
Speaker 2: And the Dodgers will face a new arm and Mitch
Speaker 2: Bratt is the second major league start he fills in
Speaker 2: for Zach Gallon today. Gallon with right elbow inflament, likely
Speaker 2: going on the injured list. So Mitch Bratt against Emmett Sheen.
Speaker 2: That's your pitching matchup for this afternoon. In the final
Speaker 2: game of the first half of the season.
Speaker 5: Tim all Right, first pitch is coming up next. Dodgers
Speaker 5: twelve and a half games up on the Arizona Diamondbacks
Speaker 5: in the NL West. Can they add a game to
Speaker 5: that lead with the win today or with the lead
Speaker 5: shrink by a game with the sweep by the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Speaker 3: We don't want that. We want a Dodger win.
Speaker 5: Is the six Dodgers select of the All Star game,
Speaker 5: getting introdews to the crowd at Unna Clo Field at
Speaker 5: Dodger Stadium as we speak, Freeman, Monciotani, Pohz, Robleski, and
Speaker 5: Yamamoto all receiving their All Star jerseys. They will head
Speaker 5: out to Philadelphia, outside of Otani, who's having his knee
Speaker 5: looked out after the game, along with Dave Roberts and
Speaker 5: the coaching staff for the Midsummer Classic that's on Tuesday.
Speaker 5: First things first, Dodgers and Diamondbacks one final time. Immachen
Speaker 5: on the mound, first pitch when we return. I'm Tim Katson.
Speaker 5: This has been wrong with Consimo Dodgers on deck on
Speaker 5: the back to back World Series champion Dodgers Audio Network
