Speaker 1: For the back to back World Champions of Baseball. One
Speaker 1: of the greatest runs in the history of baseball. Immortality
Speaker 1: is within their reach.
Speaker 2: Incredible and while others make excuses, the only.
Speaker 3: Reason the Dodgers are doing this because they can they
Speaker 3: print money.
Speaker 1: 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 2: Now your pregame host of the world champion La Dodgers
Speaker 2: Tampa Cats.
Speaker 3: Hi, everybody, and welcome in to Morongo Casino. Dodgers on
Speaker 3: deck on this Wednesday morning. Still but we got a
Speaker 3: nooner out of you. Looko Field, the Dodgers Stadium is
Speaker 3: the Dodgers wrap up this three game series against the
Speaker 3: Tampa Bay Rays. Your Dodgers forty seven to twenty seven
Speaker 3: on the year, most wins in baseball, one more than
Speaker 3: the Atlanta Braves, as they are running away with the Division,
Speaker 3: now nine games up in the NL West over the
Speaker 3: San Diego Padres, nine and a half games up on
Speaker 3: the Arizona Diamondbacks, taking the first two games of this series.
Speaker 3: Dodgers go for the sweep today with show hey Otani
Speaker 3: on the mound. First pitch from Yulic Low Field. The
Speaker 3: Dodgers Stadium is coming up at twelve to ten. Between
Speaker 3: then and now, we got a lot to get to
Speaker 3: here on Morongo Casino, Dodgers on deck. You're gonna hear
Speaker 3: from the manager himself, Dave Roberts, David Vass will check
Speaker 3: in throughout the hour. We'll hear from show Hey. Otani
Speaker 3: will also go high and tight with Dodger leftender Eric Lower,
Speaker 3: who's been a pleasant surprise for this pitching staff, thrown
Speaker 3: in with the injuries to Blake Snell and Tyler Glass.
Speaker 3: Now we got your Dodgers Magic Cole moment, your Otani
Speaker 3: rewind coming up, and in just a few minutes we'll
Speaker 3: head out to the Galloping four broadcast booth with Tim
Speaker 3: Nevertt and Rick Monday. Well, last night we had ourselves
Speaker 3: an old fashioned pitchers duel, Justin Robleski and Drew Rasmussen
Speaker 3: going toe to toe in a game that took one
Speaker 3: hour and fifty two minutes, the fastest game at Dodgers
Speaker 3: Stadium since nineteen eighty two, the fastest game the Dodgers
Speaker 3: have played in general since nineteen ninety four, and it
Speaker 3: was a fast paced game with Justin Robleski, working quick
Speaker 3: six shutout Indians, three hits, five strikeouts, did not walk
Speaker 3: a batter. He threw sixty seven pitches, attacking the strikes
Speaker 3: on fifty strikes if he had last night in all,
Speaker 3: he had a one, two, three first and then put
Speaker 3: it into cruise control all the way through six innings. Meanwhile,
Speaker 3: the Dodgers offense struggled against Drew Rasmussen, who continued to
Speaker 3: put up zeros. He's been really good at his two
Speaker 3: starts leading into last night's game, But finally, in the
Speaker 3: bottom of the sixth inning the third time through the
Speaker 3: Dodgers lineup, show Heltani.
Speaker 5: Delivered Rasmussen stretch position, he will kick and come home,
Speaker 5: and old Tani swings hammers at deep the center field.
Speaker 3: This Paul heading back toward the walk on.
Speaker 5: It's a home run, Show, Hey old Tani home on
Speaker 5: number fifteen am the Dodgers get on the board, is
Speaker 5: one to nothing, Well, he hammered it to dead centers.
Speaker 6: If tomorrow afternoon's starting pitcher, Yes, show, Hey Tawny the
Speaker 6: hitter last night his fifteenth home run of the season
Speaker 6: and no doubt about her into the netting and straight
Speaker 6: away center field.
Speaker 3: RBI number forty two, his fourth home run in his
Speaker 3: last six games. As the Dodgers take a one to
Speaker 3: nothing lead, Justin Robleski would go the six innings. That
Speaker 3: was it, turned it over to the bullpen for the
Speaker 3: final three innings. Will Klein got the seventh and wouldn't
Speaker 3: you know it, a leadoff walk on five pitches. However,
Speaker 3: two batters later he got just what he needed.
Speaker 1: Two fifty two.
Speaker 5: Hitter Is Williamson. Then the pitch on the way to him,
Speaker 5: one hopper to second, Freeland goes to second, bets the
Speaker 5: turn turn to first, down him. Totle play four six, three,
Speaker 5: no runs, no hits, no aris, nobody left.
Speaker 1: It is stretch time.
Speaker 3: A huge four to six to three double play induced
Speaker 3: by Will Klein to get out of that seventh inning,
Speaker 3: no damage done. That is a top tier play. The
Speaker 3: game brought to by Arco Quality, top tier gas for less.
Speaker 3: Kyle Hurt had the eighth of one, two to three
Speaker 3: ining Tanner Scott had the ninth, struck out two of
Speaker 3: the three batters he faced. He put up a zero.
Speaker 3: Dodgers their ninth shutout win of the year, a one
Speaker 3: to nothing victory over the Rays. The show Hey o
Speaker 3: tani home run is all they needed offensively. Justin Robleski
Speaker 3: picks up the win. He's now eight and two. Drew
Speaker 3: Rasminson gets the loss. He falses six and three. Tenner
Speaker 3: Scott gets the save, his ninth of the year. The
Speaker 3: Dodgers pick up ground in the NL West as they
Speaker 3: are running away with the division. Now twenty three and
Speaker 3: nine since May thirteenth, is the Dodgers record nine games
Speaker 3: up in the NL West going into play today, and
Speaker 3: today they go for this series win and the sweep
Speaker 3: of the Tampa bay Rays. With show Hey o'tani on
Speaker 3: the mount first pitch of twelve ten and with more,
Speaker 3: we head out to the galloping Ford Broadcast booth as
Speaker 3: we welcome in Tim Nevertt and Rick Monday. Guys.
Speaker 5: Thank you very much, Tim, and good morning as we
Speaker 5: get ready for this early game here at Unico Field
Speaker 5: at Dodgers Stadium the Dodgers and the Tampa bay Rays.
Speaker 5: Game three of the three game sent the Dodgers a
Speaker 5: season best twenty games over five hundred, forty seven and
Speaker 5: twenty seven, and now are nine games in front of
Speaker 5: the San Diego Padres and the National League Western Division standings.
Speaker 5: That's their largest lead. In fact, it's the largest lead
Speaker 5: by any team in any division in baseball, and as
Speaker 5: of this morning, the Dodgers have more wins than anybody
Speaker 5: in Major League Baseball, one more than the Atlanta Braves.
Speaker 5: The Raised today will send left hander Shane McClanahan of
Speaker 5: the Mound. He's six and four with a three to
Speaker 5: two three earn run average. Shohei Otani will pitch, he
Speaker 5: will not hit. He will just be a one way player. Today.
Speaker 5: He is six and two with a major league best
Speaker 5: one point zero six earn run average. So today's starting pitcher,
Speaker 5: Mo was the guy that won the game at the
Speaker 5: plate last night with a sixth inning solo home run.
Speaker 5: He still amazes everybody, But Dave Roberts is not going
Speaker 5: to have him hit today with the short turnaround here
Speaker 5: for Game three.
Speaker 7: And I think part of it that too, is, you know,
Speaker 7: the recent leg issue. It's not something that's going to
Speaker 7: keep him out of the out of the lineup. But
Speaker 7: Dave Roberts is saying yesterday they are going to be
Speaker 7: watching him very closely here this afternoon. Perfect timing as
Speaker 7: far as last night's ball game. The Dodgers, again on
Speaker 7: the Otani home run went it by a score one
Speaker 7: to nothing. Tampa held to just three hits in ball game.
Speaker 7: Perfect timing indeed, with a day game at twelve ten
Speaker 7: today because that last night's game went just an hour
Speaker 7: and fifty two minutes, thank you very much. It was
Speaker 7: not extra endings and we were not here all night.
Speaker 5: Very good. It was the shortest game since the fourth
Speaker 5: of October nineteen ninety two against the Houston Astros. It's
Speaker 5: the shortest nine inning game. That game lasted an hour
Speaker 5: and forty four minutes. But we learned later that that
Speaker 5: was better an umpire Doug Harvey's final game, so that
Speaker 5: would explain the game time.
Speaker 7: And Doug went in and notified people, look, do not
Speaker 7: take a strike and it's going to be a liberal
Speaker 7: strikes on itself. A new look today also ten because
Speaker 7: last night Tommy Edmund was taking off the injured list,
Speaker 7: he was observing from the dugout. Well, he's going to
Speaker 7: be observing from third base today and he's going to
Speaker 7: be at the top of the order, the leadoff.
Speaker 5: Hitter, switch hitter, he'll beat right hand of the Dodgers,
Speaker 5: getting a number of right right handed hitters in the
Speaker 5: lineup here today month seward and obviously Otani not going
Speaker 5: to hit today, and part of the reason is that
Speaker 5: left handed hitters are hitting only one twenty five with
Speaker 5: zero home runs against Ray's starter Shane McClanahan. So the
Speaker 5: Dodger is trying to do the best they can with
Speaker 5: the right handed bats.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm trying to draw on that end of it,
Speaker 7: and for Tampa trying to get it into gear itself.
Speaker 7: You know, you look at the fact they had a
Speaker 7: five and a half game lead not that long ago,
Speaker 7: in fact three weeks ago on that end of it.
Speaker 7: But since that time, they've dropped now fourteen to last
Speaker 7: twenty one ball games, and they're starting today now two
Speaker 7: and a half behind the New York Yankees in America
Speaker 7: the Eastern Division. And for the Yankees, they're kind of
Speaker 7: going in a pretty strong stream right now because they
Speaker 7: won eight if the last ten, and for Tampa they
Speaker 7: would like nothing better than winning the final game. But
Speaker 7: this three game series, so.
Speaker 5: The Rays at forty one and twenty nine take on
Speaker 5: the Dodgers forty seven and twenty seven. The Dodgers have
Speaker 5: a chance for a three game sweep. They can get
Speaker 5: a victory behind show hey Otani here this afternoon.
Speaker 3: Tim all right, thank you guys, has been cutting down

Speaker 1: This it's the LA Dodgers Injury Report.
Speaker 3: Presented by UCLA Healthy, official medical partner of the Los
Speaker 3: Angeles Dodgers. Will Smith on the IL with the neck inflammation.
Speaker 3: It doesn't sound like he is close to returning, and
Speaker 3: he's scheduled to come off the I e. L. So
Speaker 3: that's a bit of a setback. To Oscar Hernandez is
Speaker 3: feeling better with the left hamstring strain. He could be
Speaker 3: going out on a minor league rehab assignment here shortly
Speaker 3: more on that, hopefully with the manager Dave Roberts. Tyler
Speaker 3: glassnow not progressing with his lower back spasms. Blake Snell
Speaker 3: and Edwin Diaz are both throwing, So that is good.
Speaker 3: I don't know how far and how much, but they
Speaker 3: are doing baseball activities and begun a throwing program. So
Speaker 3: they are trending in the right direction. As his Brock
Speaker 3: Steward's on the I l with left bone spur in
Speaker 3: his foot, he is trending as a minor league rehab
Speaker 3: assignment continues for the Dodger reliever. All right, let's head
Speaker 3: back out to Uniclow Field, the Dodgers stadium and check
Speaker 3: in with the Dodgers skipper.
Speaker 12: Anything the questions for Dave Dave?
Speaker 1: Can you just describe Dave?
Speaker 3: Can you talk about the pressure.
Speaker 2: In the dugouts with Dave Roberts Dave, obviously at the
Speaker 2: times you know what's coming off the left, she asked.
Speaker 9: Other things that you're looking for, I mean, talking about
Speaker 9: any decision kind of playing.
Speaker 1: Is there anything that you will be able to read
Speaker 1: reaction to day?
Speaker 10: Yeah.
Speaker 13: I think for me, it's just kind of watching his
Speaker 13: mannerism's demeanor, the throw, you know, you know, how it's
Speaker 13: coming out, command all that stuff. I'll be you know,
Speaker 13: very in tune with But you know, as we sit
Speaker 13: here right now, he's ready to go. Feels good. So yeah,
Speaker 13: but we'll keep it, you know, keen eye on them.
Speaker 5: How much does that and that change.
Speaker 4: I don't think he's anything versatility, but even the.
Speaker 13: Top of the door, if you like today, it just
Speaker 13: you know, I'm excited. We're excited to have Tommy back. Certainly,
Speaker 13: you know, he's very good versus left handed pitching. H
Speaker 13: gives me the ability to keep guys in their rightful
Speaker 13: spots for now, and then just to plug him in
Speaker 13: and feel really good about him taking on a left hander.
Speaker 13: And then also the versatility, so you know, just knowing
Speaker 13: Tommy can can play anywhere essentially on the field, and
Speaker 13: just having him back is you know, we're all excited
Speaker 13: about that.
Speaker 1: I guess right he is. We're going to see him
Speaker 1: fitting into the lineup.
Speaker 10: He seem like kind of needing a second lead up
Speaker 10: there at.
Speaker 12: The bottom or d considered as a as.
Speaker 13: A two or or two and then the world now
Speaker 13: why yeah, no, I think for left handers, I see
Speaker 13: him more in the bottom just kind of taking it
Speaker 13: bats and being a second leadoff hitter in the eight
Speaker 13: or the nine. Obviously, you know, with a Freeland, you know,
Speaker 13: we'll see how it works out as far as matchups
Speaker 13: and things like that. But you know, as I said
Speaker 13: a couple of days ago, I think that I see
Speaker 13: Tommy playing, you know, three or four days a week
Speaker 13: right now, and we'll kind of see where we go
Speaker 13: from there.
Speaker 3: All Right, there's a manager, Dave Roberts, Tommy Edmond in
Speaker 3: the lineup, batting leadoff and playing third, Alex Freeland, who's
Speaker 3: he alluded to, batting ninth at second base. But again
Speaker 3: we'll see Tommy Edmond rotator around third base, second base,
Speaker 3: maybe a little bit of left field as well. But
Speaker 3: great to see number twenty five Tommy Tanks back with
Speaker 3: the Dodgers and healthy. We'll continue here. I'm Wrongo Casino
Speaker 3: Dodgers on deck. When we come back, we'll check in
Speaker 3: with David Vastate live on the field that Unicle field,
Speaker 3: the Dodgers Stadium, So he leads up to first pitch
Speaker 3: Dodgers and the Rays. I'm tim kais is the back
Speaker 3: to back World Series champion Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 2: As we were saying, this is Marongo Casino Dodgers on
Speaker 2: deck on the official home of La Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 3: Dodgers and Tampa Bay Rays. One final time Dodgers going
Speaker 3: for the three Games, Sweep Show, Hey Otani last night
Speaker 3: with the solo home run to win it for the Dodgers.
Speaker 3: Back at it today on the mound as the starting pitcher,
Speaker 3: first pitch coming up at twelve ten. Todgers Baseball is
Speaker 3: presented by L Poto, Born in La and made for
Speaker 3: your game to L Poto brings authentic Mexican style tomato, sauces,
Speaker 3: salces and hot sauces right to your plate every single
Speaker 3: time El Pato Gourmet in a camp.
Speaker 1: Joining Tim Cates on Dodgers on Deck. I accept everybody
Speaker 1: for who they are. This is Dodger insider.
Speaker 3: David and dB now joins us live from the field.
Speaker 3: It's a twelve o'clock start out of Uniclo Field, the
Speaker 3: Dodgers status. The Dodgers go for the sweep and they've
Speaker 3: got the man who won it for him last night
Speaker 3: with the solo home run on the mound. Today in
Speaker 3: show Hey Otani, David.
Speaker 8: Yeah, and show he Otani was going to be watched
Speaker 8: very carefully today, Tim because of that left knee inflammation.
Speaker 8: As you heard Dave Roberts say earlier today, this is
Speaker 8: not behind him, but the Dodgers are going to have
Speaker 8: to manage it. And if you remember when the media
Speaker 8: spoke to Otani on the last road trip, he said
Speaker 8: this inflammation on his left knee came because he felt
Speaker 8: like his pitching mechanics caused it. So we'll see how
Speaker 8: that leftne reacts. It's a weight bearing knee because when
Speaker 8: he lands, all two hundred plus pounds of that is
Speaker 8: coming down on that left knee. So we'll see how
Speaker 8: long he lasts in this game. But certainly the Dodgers,
Speaker 8: the people I've spoken to and Dave Roberts have sounded
Speaker 8: very confident that he is ready to go and should
Speaker 8: not have any limitations with that left knee.
Speaker 3: David is brought to you by Ford Here for those
Speaker 3: who build America, especially those who believe that given everything today,
Speaker 3: we'll pay off tomorrow, those who will drive America forward
Speaker 3: for two hundred and fifty years to come. Right now,
Speaker 3: Ford is offering employee pricing to everybody American value. For
Speaker 3: American values, go to your Southern California Ford Dealer or
Speaker 3: visit by Ford now dot com for more information. You
Speaker 3: talked to Tommy Edmond last night on the pregame show, David.
Speaker 3: He's in the lineup today batting lead off and playing
Speaker 3: third base. How excited is he to just beat back
Speaker 3: out there playing finally.
Speaker 8: Yeah, very excited. And the biggest challenge, he told us yesterday,
Speaker 8: Tim was patience because it was a long road back
Speaker 8: for him having the surgery in December. I'm not having
Speaker 8: any setbacks, but the right ankle not really respond And
Speaker 8: he said the biggest mental hurdle for him to come
Speaker 8: back and know that he's ready to go today is
Speaker 8: running the bases, because if you remember last year, that's
Speaker 8: when he reaggravated that right ankle running the bases, and
Speaker 8: that's when that ankle was really hard to manage all
Speaker 8: year long. And if you remember, in Game seven of
Speaker 8: the World Series, Dave Roberts, because of the limitations of
Speaker 8: that right ankle, took Tommy Yedman out, put Andy pot
Speaker 8: Has in, and when Ernie Clement hit that ball to
Speaker 8: left field, it was Andy poe Has who ran over
Speaker 8: t k Hernandez and made that memorable catch. But it's
Speaker 8: great to have Tomy Edmond back for the Dodgers because
Speaker 8: of the positional versatility and also the lineup versatility. A
Speaker 8: guy that could lead off today as a right handed
Speaker 8: switch hitter against Shane McClanahan and also be a guy
Speaker 8: when right handers are in there to hit from the
Speaker 8: left side and hit towards the bottom of the orders.
Speaker 8: So when you say Tommy Edmund's versatile more ways than one, no.
Speaker 3: Doubt about it. Dalton Rushing David has taken over the
Speaker 3: catching duties with the injury to Will Smith, who's on
Speaker 3: the injured list right now, and it feels like he's
Speaker 3: just getting into a good routine behind the plate.
Speaker 8: Well, if you remember, Taeoscar Hernandez told us on Monday,
Speaker 8: part of the reason why Andy Potts has had the
Speaker 8: success that he's had this year is because he understands
Speaker 8: how to navigate a major league season much better than
Speaker 8: he did a year ago. And he has shown a
Speaker 8: lot of maturity and that's what's helped him have sustained success.
Speaker 8: And I'm sure that's helping Dalton Rushing during this time,
Speaker 8: especially that Will Smith is out, but even since being
Speaker 8: the backup catcher and getting a lot of reps that
Speaker 8: he is learning how to navigate a major league season.
Speaker 8: And we're starting to see the maturity growth over the
Speaker 8: course of this season, and it's only going to trend
Speaker 8: in the same direction. As we move through the summer
Speaker 8: and into October.
Speaker 3: Well, Dalton Russion behind the plate batting eighth today, David
Speaker 3: great stuff. We'll check you out on sports and at LA.
Speaker 3: David Vasse will also go one on one later on
Speaker 3: with Eric Lauer, who's been a pleasant surprise for this
Speaker 3: Dodgers rotation. As we leads up to first pitch on

Speaker 3: local and so great. When we continue here on Dodgers
Speaker 3: on Day, we all check you in with Rick Monday
Speaker 3: as we continue to lead you up to first pitch show.
Speaker 3: Hey Otani on the moud Dodgers and Raise. I'm Tim
Speaker 3: Katz is the back to back World Series Champion Dodgers
Speaker 3: Audio Network.
Speaker 2: This is Marongo Casino, Dodgers on Deach on your Home
Speaker 2: for the Blue all season long long.
Speaker 3: Lead you up to Dodgers and Raise on this Wednesday show.
Speaker 3: Hey O, Tommy, Shaye McClanahan. The pitching matchup. First pitch
Speaker 3: coming up at twelve ten. We'll dive deeper into the
Speaker 3: numbers coming up in just a little bit from Eric Lower,
Speaker 3: Dodger left hander coming up in about ten minutes time.
Speaker 3: Now for the Verizon startup, as we are thirty five
Speaker 3: minutes away from the start of this game. Not Verizon.
Speaker 3: You can lock in that low price for three years
Speaker 3: so you can save big. Visit your so Cal Verizon
Speaker 3: store today.
Speaker 2: And now joined by David Bassey, here's La Dodgers broadcastre
Speaker 2: and World Series Champion Dodger Rick Monday.
Speaker 4: Rick Quick turnaround and welcome back Tommy Edmund. All you
Speaker 4: have to do is lead off and face Shane McClanahan.
Speaker 7: Yeah, isn't that nice though? And for Tommy Edmund I
Speaker 7: know you had him on the pregame show yesterday. I
Speaker 7: can't just the back end of it. He's gone through
Speaker 7: a lot in the ankle, and they timed it. He
Speaker 7: knew it was going to take some time to coming
Speaker 7: back from that ankle injury, so it kind of pays off.
Speaker 7: And I think he touched upon something because part of
Speaker 7: your conversation with Tommy yesterday was the fact they can
Speaker 7: give you the green light and say you're okay and
Speaker 7: you're not going to do any more damage to what
Speaker 7: we just surgically repaired, but until you believe it yourselves,
Speaker 7: you're still kind of walking on the edge. Well, he
Speaker 7: believes it down. It's nice to see him.
Speaker 4: Back, Yeah, And he said the turning point on that
Speaker 4: was running the bases and cutting the bas is hard
Speaker 4: because that's where he reaggravated the ankle last year.
Speaker 7: Yeah, And in his rehab we kept hearing about was
Speaker 7: that after he was running, in particular running the bases,
Speaker 7: that there was some swelling afterwards that that seems to
Speaker 7: have dissipated.
Speaker 1: The doctors can really use.
Speaker 7: Him because you know, if we look at Dave Roberts,
Speaker 7: he said, look, we're going to play him probably in
Speaker 7: three different positions, second third, and in left field if needed.
Speaker 7: He could also go into other positions in the outfield
Speaker 7: or maybe even the infield too. So it adds a
Speaker 7: whole lot to this ball club that has been basically
Speaker 7: surviving a man short until Edmund was healthy enough to
Speaker 7: come back.
Speaker 4: Rick, obviously you had a great career, but part of
Speaker 4: the reason why you have the respect of your peers
Speaker 4: is because you left body parts out on the field.
Speaker 4: So how do you, as a player get over the
Speaker 4: fact to trust whatever was injured?
Speaker 7: You know, it's scary quite frankly, because you don't know
Speaker 7: what is there. Again, they can tell you and the
Speaker 7: doctors has some of the best positions and trainers that
Speaker 7: are around. And if doctor Dilatrage is telling you, hey,
Speaker 7: look we can fix this, you're going to be fine.
Speaker 7: You put a lot of faith in that, and that's
Speaker 7: the case it comes back, But there's always that doubt
Speaker 7: what happens if you go through that surgery. It's going
Speaker 7: to be a long and sometimes uncomfortable process in coming back,
Speaker 7: but there has to be a commitment on the other side.
Speaker 7: There's a great commitment with the medical staff. Then it
Speaker 7: falls upon the shoulder of you as an individual to
Speaker 7: take responsibility. And I remember something that the great doctor
Speaker 7: Elatro said to Charlie Steiner and I a number of
Speaker 7: years ago. We were downstairs just outside the Dougout Club
Speaker 7: and we were talking about a player that he had
Speaker 7: operated on not too long ago at the time, this
Speaker 7: is about five years ago, and the doctor said, you know,
Speaker 7: when we're talking about injuries after the postop, there are
Speaker 7: no shortcuts to the rehabilitation of that player. And sometimes
Speaker 7: that's agonizing because there are no shortcuts, and if you
Speaker 7: try and make the shortcuts, you basically have a big,
Speaker 7: big risk in prolonging the period of.
Speaker 12: Time is going to take you to get healthy.
Speaker 4: Rick Monday, you know a lot about pitching as well.
Speaker 4: You've seen a lot of really good pitchers. Last night,
Speaker 4: it's less than twenty four hours ago. We saw an
Speaker 4: old school nineteen eighties, nineteen seventies hour fifty two pitchers
Speaker 4: duel list.
Speaker 1: Wasn't that fun?
Speaker 14: Yeah?
Speaker 7: And if we look at Ribleski, one of the things
Speaker 7: that he has done, we commented yesterday, when he's taken
Speaker 7: the mound since put into the starting rotation, he has
Speaker 7: given his ball club a chance to win a ballgame,
Speaker 7: and last night was a wonderfully pitched game on both
Speaker 7: sides of the spectrum. And if we look I think
Speaker 7: the last eight games the Dodgers have played, we've seen
Speaker 7: some really terrific baseball.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: And the way the Dodgers have one with pitching and
Speaker 4: defense goes kind of unnoticed with the way they slug.
Speaker 7: Yeah, And you know what their motivation is, David, because
Speaker 7: they see you for the second day in a row
Speaker 7: in a coat and tie, because you're double dipping radio
Speaker 7: and television again today you look marvelous. How's the tie looking, Rick, Well,
Speaker 7: it's better you're doing a better job with the with
Speaker 7: that full windsor yeah, you're having trouble if you do
Speaker 7: it half windsor but the full windsor you got a
Speaker 7: down pat all.
Speaker 4: Right, I'll try to open my eyes next time.
Speaker 8: Thanks.
Speaker 5: Rick.
Speaker 4: We'll check back in with you and Tim Nevert a
Speaker 4: little bit later. Good morning, La. We'll send it back

Speaker 3: But I'm next to go high and tie with Dodger
Speaker 3: left hander Eric Lower's been really good since the Dodgers
Speaker 3: acquired him from the Toronto Blue Jays, a big part
Speaker 3: of this Dodger rotation with the injuries to Tyler Glass.
Speaker 3: Now when Blake Snell, we'll hear from him next Dodgers
Speaker 3: and Rays first pitch of twelve ten. I'm Tim Kates

Speaker 2: And now what will likely be vassy fielding insults from
Speaker 2: a Dodger player.
Speaker 3: It's an engagement of endearment.
Speaker 4: This is high and tugged all right, join right now
Speaker 4: by Dodger left hander Eric Louer navigating lineups, navigating LA
Speaker 4: traffic for a day game in the middle of the week.
Speaker 3: Eric, thanks a lot for the time appreciated.
Speaker 12: Yeah, of course.
Speaker 4: Have you been getting used to what it's like to
Speaker 4: navigate the streets of LA a little bit?
Speaker 16: It's still the traffic still kind of sneaks up on
Speaker 16: me sometimes, but I'm getting better at it.
Speaker 4: Hey, justin Robleski helped you out last night hour and
Speaker 4: fifty two minute game. What have you seen from rope
Speaker 4: blo Esky that impresses you the most?
Speaker 16: I think his ability to throw strikes. I mean, he
Speaker 16: fills the zone up a lot. He's not afraid to
Speaker 16: go after guys, and you know, I think that that
Speaker 16: plays into his hand of you know, I have a
Speaker 16: lot of good stuff. I'm gonna come at you with
Speaker 16: everything I got, and you know, he throws hard, has
Speaker 16: good offsby stuff, and you know, slows him down with
Speaker 16: that curveball. Now, and I think he just keeps him
Speaker 16: off balanced well, but he stays in the zones and
Speaker 16: he gets guys out in the zone, which.
Speaker 12: Is hard to do.
Speaker 4: Dave Roberts always talks about how the starter sets the
Speaker 4: tone for the game, and I feel like the starter
Speaker 4: not only set the tone for the game the first
Speaker 4: night against the Race, but also for the series.
Speaker 5: And that's you.
Speaker 4: You could have allowed that game to get out of
Speaker 4: hand after the first couple of innings. How did you
Speaker 4: maintain composure and be able to navigate, you know, four
Speaker 4: or five more innings to go six.
Speaker 16: I think that's That's something that I've kind of been
Speaker 16: dealing with a little bit more than I would like
Speaker 16: to have this year.
Speaker 12: So I'm kind of getting used to having.
Speaker 16: The first inning and second inning kind of be a
Speaker 16: little more of a scuffle for me, which you know,
Speaker 16: I'm moving forward.
Speaker 12: I plan on that not being the case anymore.
Speaker 16: That's a great plan, I mean, I think that's the
Speaker 16: plan I should go with. But I think when you
Speaker 16: get in that situation, you know, you know you're still
Speaker 16: keeping the team in the game, and the goal at
Speaker 16: that point becomes, all right, how long can I go
Speaker 16: in this game?
Speaker 12: To you know, keep us in it. And you know,
Speaker 12: luckily enough, I was able to go the.
Speaker 16: Six innings that I needed to get to and you know,
Speaker 16: keep just the big the biggest part is just keeping
Speaker 16: the team in the game. And I know that that
Speaker 16: big three run homer, you know, put us right back
Speaker 16: within striking distance.
Speaker 12: So at that point, it was just a matter of
Speaker 12: you know, making sure that I was going out.
Speaker 16: There and executing pitches and making sure that I was
Speaker 16: staying on top of guys and that I wasn't letting
Speaker 16: my pitch count.
Speaker 12: Run up too high.
Speaker 16: But you know, it's it's a matter of you know,
Speaker 16: just really focusing and making sure that you're taking care
Speaker 16: of what you can take care of and you know,
Speaker 16: executing pitches the best you can.
Speaker 4: How much does the defense behind you playing to the
Speaker 4: trust of your stuff and attacking the strike zone because
Speaker 4: you guys get so much attention for the slug the offense,
Speaker 4: but the defense is the best in baseball.
Speaker 16: Oh yeah, And that's why I think for me, it's
Speaker 16: important to keep the ball in the yard. You know,
Speaker 16: I've been struggling with that a little bit, so I think,
Speaker 16: like I'm more than comfortable letting them hit it. It's
Speaker 16: just I need to make them hit my pitch, and
Speaker 16: I need to, you know, make sure that I'm executing
Speaker 16: pitches to the best of my ability, because I know
Speaker 16: that I can be in zone. I know that I
Speaker 16: can you know, attack hitters, especially aggressive hitters who are
Speaker 16: gonna go after pitches in zone and you know, let
Speaker 16: them put the ball in play because nine times out
Speaker 16: of ten we're gonna make the play and I won't
Speaker 16: have anything to worry about.
Speaker 4: So Khrushaw always talked about he could live with solo
Speaker 4: home runs. It's the two three run home runs that
Speaker 4: really hurt. Is that kind of the mentality for you
Speaker 4: as well?
Speaker 16: Yeah, I mean that's a general overview. That's a very good,
Speaker 16: you know, way of thinking about it. Is like, solo
Speaker 16: homers generally won't hurt you unless there's multiple of them.
Speaker 16: But it's the two three run homers that you want
Speaker 16: to stay away from, and obviously that that makes it
Speaker 16: more important to stay away from, you know, giving up
Speaker 16: free bases, giving up walks, and hit by pitches like
Speaker 16: those are things that you definitely want to stay away
Speaker 16: from because that means that you don't you didn't execute
Speaker 16: enough pitches. In that at bat to have a chance
Speaker 16: to get the guy out. But I think just in general,
Speaker 16: the comfortability of you know, letting not letting guys put
Speaker 16: the ball in play, but attacking the zone to where
Speaker 16: you know, if a guy's aggressive that they probably will
Speaker 16: get a hit or they will put the ball in play,
Speaker 16: and you know.
Speaker 12: Just relying on your defense.
Speaker 16: You got, yeah, seven guys behind you, because there's one
Speaker 16: in front of you technically, so you got seven guys
Speaker 16: behind you who are elite at what they do.
Speaker 12: So you know, like, let them have fun, let them
Speaker 12: play a little bit.
Speaker 5: Yeah, no doubt.
Speaker 4: Eric Lauer is our guest. Before I let you go,
Speaker 4: here's the million dollar question. Guys that come from different
Speaker 4: organizations and find success with the Dodgers. You've had success,
Speaker 4: but you're rediscovering success and again this year, everybody wants
Speaker 4: to know what is.
Speaker 12: It about the Dodgers?
Speaker 3: How do they do it?
Speaker 4: Have you found out what makes guys successful here?
Speaker 12: That's a really tough question. I think that that's the
Speaker 12: million dollar question for.
Speaker 16: A reason because it's not it's not one thing that
Speaker 16: you can particularly point to and say, like, this is
Speaker 16: what the Dodgers do that make them better? Or help guys,
Speaker 16: you know, get better. I think it's it's a it's
Speaker 16: a mixture between you know, constantly being around elite players
Speaker 16: and elite guys, elite mindsets, the communication, just the way
Speaker 16: that you know the team, the coaching staff, the support staff,
Speaker 16: how the way everybody interacts is extremely seamless. And you know,
Speaker 16: that's That's one of the things that's I think a
Speaker 16: little bit harder about the game that people don't see
Speaker 16: often is you know, there's so many moving parts from
Speaker 16: the weight room to the training room, to the bullpen,
Speaker 16: to the manager's office to the food room, like there's
Speaker 16: so many different moving parts and moving you know pieces
Speaker 16: that sometimes communication can get really hard. And I think
Speaker 16: what the Dodgers do really well is they stay on
Speaker 16: top of that communication and they make sure that everything
Speaker 16: is as seamless as it possibly can be, so that
Speaker 16: everybody is as comfortable and can trust each other the
Speaker 16: most that they possibly can.
Speaker 12: So, I mean, among many many other things, I think
Speaker 12: I think.
Speaker 16: That to me has stood out the most is just
Speaker 16: the the planning and the execution of that plan and
Speaker 16: the communication of that plan is is far beyond a
Speaker 16: lot of other other places that I've been.
Speaker 12: It's it's it's a it's elite here, and it's.
Speaker 16: It's everything that goes on in the clubhouse and around
Speaker 16: this team, and everything is handled at an elite level.
Speaker 12: And I think that just makes everyone better.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 4: And when you got a guy like Eric Lower that
Speaker 4: can express himself, the communication is a lot easier. Thanks
Speaker 4: a lot for the time. In the short time we've
Speaker 4: you've been on the Dodgers, It's been great to get
Speaker 4: to know you. And Rich I'll better watch out. You

Speaker 3: career start against the Dodgers. He is two and oh

Speaker 3: tam thanks.
Speaker 5: Again, beautiful afternoon for a ball game. A business person's
Speaker 5: special Midweek Mattinee. As the Dodgers wrap up this series
Speaker 5: with the Tampa Bay Rays, show hey Otani on the hill.
Speaker 5: He will not hit today, He'll only pitch, so he
Speaker 5: is treated just like any other pitcher. He's not going
Speaker 5: to be able to come off the bench and pinch hit,
Speaker 5: but pitching is just fine for Sho Hayo Tani six
Speaker 5: and two in a major league best one to six
Speaker 5: earned run average. He's got the best ERA in the
Speaker 5: major leagues. He has the second best batting average against
Speaker 5: one fifty four, and he has been just absolutely terrific.
Speaker 7: The numbers are just in Cloud nine offensively and defensively.
Speaker 7: How about the fact batting average against in the fastball
Speaker 7: this year one seventy five. What about the batting average
Speaker 7: again the last two years combined with the curveball in
Speaker 7: the slider one thirty eight batting average against. And speaking
Speaker 7: of pitches being thrown, Shane McClanahan, one of the things
Speaker 7: that he does non fastball so off speed pitches below
Speaker 7: a one hundred average. The Dodgers have to get ready
Speaker 7: not only for the fastball upstairs and inside, but mc
Speaker 7: hand a lot of our speed and very effective with it.
