Speaker 1: For the back to back World champions of Baseball.
Speaker 2: One of the greatest runs in the history of baseball.
Speaker 1: Immortality is within their reach. Incredible and while others make excuses.
Speaker 3: The only reason the Dodgers are doing this because they can.
Speaker 3: They print money.
Speaker 1: The Dodgers just can't continue. It's not fair are making
Speaker 1: plans again.
Speaker 4: It's a singular focus on controlling what they can control.

Speaker 5: Neffett and Rick Monday. Well, yesterday the Dodgers riding at
Speaker 5: four game losing street the Cardinals riding a six game
Speaker 5: winning streak, something had to come to an end, and
Speaker 5: it did with Justin Robleski on the mound. A leftander
Speaker 5: was fantastic. Six shutout innings. He allows just six h
Speaker 5: t along the way. He had traffic on the base
Speaker 5: pass in five of the six innings, but was able
Speaker 5: to get out of it without giving up any runs.
Speaker 5: He didn't strike out anybody zero, had one walk through
Speaker 5: eighty three pitches. He got first pitched on sixteen of
Speaker 5: the twenty four batters that he faced.
Speaker 3: He was very efficient.
Speaker 5: He had good defense behind him, and the offense finally
Speaker 5: woke up. Yesterday began in the second with Andy Pies.
Speaker 2: Oh two pitch from May and Andy Elonza to left field.
Speaker 2: That's gonna get down and go to the wall. Around
Speaker 2: third is Tucker. He'll score. Here comes Muncie, He'll be
Speaker 2: held at third. And end of second with a run
Speaker 2: scoring double is Andy Pie. His and the Dodgers strike
Speaker 2: first this afternoon at Saint Louis and lead at one nothing.
Speaker 5: Andy Pie has RBI double Dodgers with a one to
Speaker 5: nothing lead, and then Heisan Kim got involved with an
Speaker 5: RBI single. Dodgers with two runs in the second, inding
Speaker 5: three hits, two doubles, couple of RBIs to take a
Speaker 5: two to nothing lead. Then of the fifth, the Dodgers
Speaker 5: with two outs, a little magic from Freddy Freeman.
Speaker 6: Dustin Mays O two and Freeman. They hit up the.
Speaker 2: Middle and Kim's gonna speed around third come into score.
Speaker 2: It's three to nothing Dodgers that are two out. RBI
Speaker 2: six from Freddie Freema.
Speaker 7: Where that line drive almost took out the second base
Speaker 7: umpire Chris Guccioni, who was positioned on the infield grass
Speaker 7: he had to hit the deck.
Speaker 5: Freddie Freeman delivers RBI single back up the middle Dodgers
Speaker 5: with a three to nothing lead. That was all Justin
Speaker 5: Robleski would need. He go the sixth shutout innings. Will
Speaker 5: Klein took over in the seventh, a one to two
Speaker 5: three inning. In the eighth, with two outs to give
Speaker 5: up a walk to Jordan Walker, then Alex Burlson with
Speaker 5: an RBI single that scored Walker, who was running on
Speaker 5: the play, and that made it a three to one
Speaker 5: Dodgers lead. In the ninth, Alex call delivered with a
Speaker 5: pinch hit RBI single to left to tack on one
Speaker 5: more for the good guys as the Dodgers then handed
Speaker 5: it over to Tanner. Scott in the bottom half of
Speaker 5: the ninth inning, struck out two of the three batters
Speaker 5: that he faced. Ball game over, Dodgers snapped their four
Speaker 5: game losing streak yesterday with a four to one win
Speaker 5: over the Saint Louis Cardinals. Justin Robleski improved a five
Speaker 5: on the season. Former Dodger Dustin Megans tagged with the
Speaker 5: lost Tanners. Scott his second save of this season as
Speaker 5: the Dodgers win despite not homering in their sixth straight game.
Speaker 5: They improved a twenty one at thirteen overall, still a
Speaker 5: half game up in the division over the San Diego
Speaker 5: Padres in the NL West, and now they're in Houston
Speaker 5: for a three game series. Yoshinobu Yamamoto on the mount
Speaker 5: in the series opener, first pitch at five to ten,
Speaker 5: and with more, let's head out to the gallopin Ford
Speaker 5: broadcast booth as we say hello to Tim Devertt and
Speaker 5: Rick Monday, guys, thank you very much.
Speaker 2: Tim Rufe is closed here at Dykin Park in Houston
Speaker 2: as the Dodgers open up a three game interleague set
Speaker 2: with the Houston Astros. Dodgers twenty one and thirteen coming
Speaker 2: off a win four to one against the Cardinals yesterday
Speaker 2: afternoon in Saint Louis. The Astros won an extra innings
Speaker 2: game at Fenway Park in Boston yesterday. They are fourteen
Speaker 2: and twenty one overall. They find themselves four and a
Speaker 2: half games back in the American League Western Division, and
Speaker 2: this is their sixth game in the last five days
Speaker 2: because they had a double header mixed in there in
Speaker 2: Baltimore on their road trip, so they're a little pitching challenged,
Speaker 2: and tonight Stephen Okert, a reliever left hander, will start
Speaker 2: as the opener. We expect the right hander Ryan Weiss
Speaker 2: to come out of the bullpen and pitch the bulk
Speaker 2: of the innings and he'll go against Yoshinobu Yamamoto. The
Speaker 2: right hander is two and two of an ERA of
Speaker 2: two and Yamamoto coming off a subpar start in his
Speaker 2: last outing. In the meantime, the Dodgers five and five
Speaker 2: in their last ten games that are made on top
Speaker 2: of the West over the padres by half a game
Speaker 2: and moa a shift in scenery today in a shift
Speaker 2: in routine for one show, hey Otani with the roof
Speaker 2: open today he came out and hit outside, which he
Speaker 2: doesn't normally do.
Speaker 7: Well, and trying to iron some things out. Exactly what
Speaker 7: he's trying to iron out, we're not privy too, but
Speaker 7: on the field and taking banning practice, which I think
Speaker 7: is something you need to do quite frankly, when you
Speaker 7: go to a new ballpark I've been in for a while.
Speaker 6: Reason it's a different background.
Speaker 7: See the background you're going to be looking at during
Speaker 7: a ball game itself, but picking up the release point
Speaker 7: with a pitcher and being able to know.
Speaker 6: Feel comfortable and doing it.
Speaker 7: The other part too, is Otani the last nineteen games
Speaker 7: is hitting just two nineteen. He's over his last fourteen
Speaker 7: and just trying to get out here. Normally hits in
Speaker 7: the cage because he can get all the telemetry that
Speaker 7: he needs in the batting cage instantly look at it
Speaker 7: and not have to take round after round on the
Speaker 7: field during batting practice with her the rest of the teammates.
Speaker 2: It was about two thirty in the afternoon. I just
Speaker 2: got here, sat down, I watched him walk in the cage,
Speaker 2: and then settled in for the show. And he put
Speaker 2: on an absolute laser show. I mean he was seeing
Speaker 2: the ball fine, trust me on that. He hit the
Speaker 2: ball everywhere and about as far as you can hit
Speaker 2: it in a number of places in this party.
Speaker 7: I looked at some numbers earlier today, and he's not
Speaker 7: making solid contact at the present time. He's getting jammed
Speaker 7: a lot. We're seeing clubs jam him initially and then going.
Speaker 6: Away on that end of it.
Speaker 7: The other part too, is you know, he's hitting more
Speaker 7: fly balls with not a whole lot of miles per
Speaker 7: hour behind him at the present time, Either so hopefully
Speaker 7: that's going to be changing. Yeah, the Dodgers, as far
Speaker 7: as the power department, about the fact six consecutive games
Speaker 7: without hitting a home run eight games in a row
Speaker 7: back in July twenty fourteen is the record. Don't want
Speaker 7: to approach that. But it is a dry spill, to
Speaker 7: say the least in home runs.
Speaker 2: And this park is pretty home run friendly too, especially
Speaker 2: in left field. It's three point fifteen down the line.
Speaker 2: You've got a scoreboard down there and you've got to
Speaker 2: get it up over the scoreboard. But it's called the
Speaker 2: Crawford Boxes because the back of that wall backs up
Speaker 2: to Crawford Street. So a lot of home runs have
Speaker 2: been hit to left field here. There's a big wall
Speaker 2: in left center. Dead center's four to oh nine. It's
Speaker 2: a big right center field here, a lot of room
Speaker 2: in the outfield. But it's an interesting ballpark the way
Speaker 2: it's constructed. But it is home run frontly, and talk.
Speaker 6: About the ballpark here for a moment. I think this
Speaker 6: is a part two.
Speaker 7: That's imperative for now to take some balls in the
Speaker 7: outfield during batty practice. Why it's a very strange outfield.
Speaker 7: You've got nine different angles on the wall to begin with,
Speaker 7: you've got that short porch and left you're just referring to.
Speaker 7: Then it drops back again and you've got some columns,
Speaker 7: Yes they're padded, but some big columns. So a lot
Speaker 7: of different angles. And this is also an area if
Speaker 7: the ball is hit to the outfield, to the guy
Speaker 7: that's standing next to you, you say, for example, you're
Speaker 7: the center fielders hit the left field, come over because
Speaker 7: you're gonna get some strange hops off the wall.
Speaker 2: Dodgers and Astros, Game one of this three game set
Speaker 2: begins in just a little bit, tim.
Speaker 5: All right, thank you guys, as we call you down
Speaker 5: to first pitch. On this Monday night, Dodger fans get
Speaker 5: that game day meal on a Shaky's Pizza parlor.
Speaker 3: Doesn't that sound good for dinner? Yeah? What are your Shaky's.
Speaker 5: Pizza, Chicken and Mojo's right now at Shaky's dot Com.
Speaker 5: We're off and running here on Dodgers on Deck. Coming up,
Speaker 5: you're gonna hear from the manager, Dave Roberts. Charlie Steiner
Speaker 5: will join us, David Vase joins us.
Speaker 3: Throughout the out of course, we'll hear from Luis Cruz.
Speaker 5: Dodgers Spanish radio broadcaster former Dodger infielder himself. We'll also
Speaker 5: get your Otani rewind your magical moment. The latest on
Speaker 5: the Dodgers' injury news is some Dodgers are getting close
Speaker 5: to returning to the big league team.
Speaker 3: More on that coming up.
Speaker 5: But up next we'll visit with Kirsten Watson from Sports
Speaker 5: to at LA. Thanks for being with us on this
Speaker 5: Monday night, Dodgers in Houston to take on the Astros.
Speaker 5: First pitch at five to ten. I'm Tim Katz's the
Speaker 5: back to back world champion Dodgers. Ahudi you a network.
Speaker 1: This is Morongo Casino Dodgers Hunting game on your home
Speaker 1: for LA. Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 5: Dodgers and Astros starting a three game series in Houston.
Speaker 5: Yoshinobu Yamamoto on the mound. First pitch coming up at
Speaker 5: five ten.
Speaker 1: This is the Otani rewhy.
Speaker 5: Well, the Dodgers beat the Cardinals yesterday four to one,
Speaker 5: but it was a quiet afternoon for show he Otani,
Speaker 5: who went zero for three with a walk, hit by
Speaker 5: a pitch. He's getting on base via the walk and
Speaker 5: hit by a pitch. Over the weekend in Saint Louis,
Speaker 5: bud Oh for fourteen in his last four games there,
Speaker 5: including the finale against the Marlins, his longest hitless streak
Speaker 5: since going five games without a hit as a member
Speaker 5: of the Angels back in May of twenty twenty two.
Speaker 1: This is Kirston's Corner with Kirston Watson.
Speaker 3: Hey Kirston now joined from Houston.
Speaker 5: Brought to you by Cars for Kids, the easiest way
Speaker 5: to get rid of your old car. Donating today your
Speaker 5: car could be picked up tomorrow. That easy donat now
Speaker 5: Carsfrokids dot Org. That's Cars with the K and New City,
Speaker 5: a new series and hopefully a new offense. Maybe they
Speaker 5: can build on what they did yesterday Kearson and getting
Speaker 5: the win against the Cardinals.
Speaker 8: You know what, that's really the hope, you know. Yesterday,
Speaker 8: obviously we did see a good offensive performance. They were
Speaker 8: able to get things going early. That was one of
Speaker 8: their keys golling into the game. They scored two runs
Speaker 8: in the second. They were able to add on really
Speaker 8: passing the baton. So they do want to carry that
Speaker 8: over at today. Obviously the results. Talking to a few
Speaker 8: of the guys last night, they still felt like it
Speaker 8: wasn't the offensive explosion or the offensive outpour that they
Speaker 8: really wanted to experience. But going into this series, not
Speaker 8: only is there just I think a better feeling amongst
Speaker 8: the group picking up the win yesterday and just coming
Speaker 8: in it's a new day, it's a new series. But
Speaker 8: with talking to a few of the guys, they were saying,
Speaker 8: this is a very hitters friendly ballpark and you're going
Speaker 8: up against a pitching staff that is the worst. They
Speaker 8: have the worst eera in Major League Baseball. They are
Speaker 8: heavily taxed right now today. Yes, they are starting with
Speaker 8: a lefty who's an opener, and then they have another
Speaker 8: guy and wise who can take down multiple so it's
Speaker 8: a good chance that they could be seeing him for
Speaker 8: two or three at bats. But you're going up against
Speaker 8: a team where if you can find ways to be
Speaker 8: aggressive and get to him, get to them, i should
Speaker 8: say early in this game. And looking back for that power,
Speaker 8: they haven't had a home run in six games, and
Speaker 8: so they do feel like this truly could be the
Speaker 8: perfect recipe for this offense to just have a breakout performance.
Speaker 8: So the guys are feeling that, I think that's very
Speaker 8: telling as to what they're hoping to achieve this evening.
Speaker 8: And so hopefully all the lines can kind of get
Speaker 8: together and work out well.
Speaker 5: The offense starts with the guy at the top of
Speaker 5: the lineup show, Hey Otani, when he goes, the Dodgers goes.
Speaker 5: There's no secrets, that's what happens with the offense is good.
Speaker 5: But when the offense is bad, you kind of got
Speaker 5: to look at Otani in his numbers and yeah, sure enough,
Speaker 5: he hasn't been very good lately.
Speaker 8: Yeah, you know, obviously the big stat line that kind
Speaker 8: of pops out is theer for seventeen recently, and so
Speaker 8: are coming into this game. I should say he was
Speaker 8: actually on the field this afternoon taking batting practice early
Speaker 8: in the day, and you know, whenever he does that,
Speaker 8: it's clear that he is working on something. He's trying
Speaker 8: to see how the ball is playing, he's looking for
Speaker 8: a certain feel in the cage. And so he was
Speaker 8: out here. He did about three rounds of BP, and
Speaker 8: on that final round he was using all.
Speaker 3: Parts of the field.
Speaker 8: He was hitting scoreboard, going at the upper deck, he's
Speaker 8: hitting the train tracks in here. So it was he
Speaker 8: did punish show towards the end of his batting practice,
Speaker 8: and even you know, Dave Roberts was saying, maybe that's
Speaker 8: just kind of that extra boost that he just needs
Speaker 8: right now to be able to see how the ball
Speaker 8: can play here, how he can have that impact to
Speaker 8: get back to it. So the hope is he can
Speaker 8: translate that into the game this evening. But for him,
Speaker 8: he's been transparent that, you know, getting back to his
Speaker 8: two way true self. And it is challenging when you
Speaker 8: have to focus on, you know, your pitching and kind
Speaker 8: of your bullpens in between starts, but then you're also
Speaker 8: trying to manage getting back on track offensively. Obviously there's
Speaker 8: not that many hours in the day, and so it
Speaker 8: does create a challenge. I think literally today's a perfect example.
Speaker 8: He did VP and then he went and changed, he
Speaker 8: put on his jersey and he was out there playing
Speaker 8: catch and I believe went into the bullpen. So you know,
Speaker 8: it's a lot of work that he's putting in to
Speaker 8: be ready for his start tomorrow. But the hope is
Speaker 8: just he can really find ways to kind of lean
Speaker 8: into what he was able to achieve and feel in
Speaker 8: the cage today and turn that into.
Speaker 1: The game, let's hope.
Speaker 5: So because it all starts the numbers seventeen top that
Speaker 5: Dodgers line. Thank you here, so check out you after
Speaker 5: the game. Still to come here on Wrongco Becauseino Dodgers
Speaker 5: on deck. We'll dive deeper into this pitchy matchup. David
Speaker 5: Vats will join us throughout the hour. Of course we'll
Speaker 5: hear from Charlie Steiner, but next your injury report and
Speaker 5: we'll hear from the manager, Dave Roberts his pregame thoughts
Speaker 5: before the Dodgers and Astros first pitch from Houston on
Speaker 5: this Monday's at five to ten. I'm Tim Katson. This
Speaker 5: is the back to back world champion Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 1: This is Marongo Casino Dodgers on.
Speaker 9: Deck on your home for the Blue All Season Law Law.
Speaker 5: It's the Dodgers and the Astros with Yoshinobu Yamamoto on
Speaker 5: the Mount Houston going.
Speaker 3: With the opener, first pinch coming up in five ten.
Speaker 1: This is the LA Dodgers Injury Reports.
Speaker 5: It by UCLA Healthy, Official medical partner of the Los
Speaker 5: Angeles Dodgers. Edwin Diaz on the IL after having an
Speaker 5: elbow surgery, been Consparraus on the IL with right shoulder inflammation.
Speaker 5: Mookie Betts accorded Dave Roberts is training in the right direction.
Speaker 5: He could go out in a minor league rehabit signment soon,
Speaker 5: Tommy edmand though a little bit of a setback.
Speaker 3: He is not progressing as well as he had hoped.
Speaker 5: We had heard from him over the weekend with David
Speaker 5: Vasa of course right here on Dodgers on Deck, So
Speaker 5: you already knew that. Blake Snell looks like one more
Speaker 5: minor league rehabit signment under his belt. Coming up, we'll
Speaker 5: get more from DV on Snell. Zilla brock Stewart has
Speaker 5: joined the team in Houston. His rehabit signments are over
Speaker 5: and he will join the team sometime this series. Landing Neck,
Speaker 5: Kevin Stone, Keith Hernandez Bruce, dargrat Ter all working their
Speaker 5: way back as well. All right, let's head back out
Speaker 5: to the seven to one to three and check in
Speaker 5: with the Dodger manager.
Speaker 6: Anything else with questions for Dave Dave, can you just
Speaker 6: describe Dave?
Speaker 1: Can you talk about the pressure in the dugouts with Dave.
Speaker 10: Roberts, I like where our guys their heads are at.
Speaker 10: There is a you know, new sense of kind of revitalization.
Speaker 10: I think walking around the clubhouse today. You know, it's
Speaker 10: a fun team to play against. It's a pitching staff
Speaker 10: that certainly has scuffle a little bit, and if we
Speaker 10: can get into some good counts, take advantage of some
Speaker 10: hitters counts, and yeah, it is a hitter friendly ballpark,
Speaker 10: so you know, hopefully we just take good at bats
Speaker 10: and grind and yeah, mixing some slug too.
Speaker 8: Does it with it being a bullpen game for the Astros,
Speaker 8: could that pose any challenge just because you're not seeing
Speaker 8: I was using so many pitchers in one game, you know.
Speaker 10: I think that you know, they're still going to have
Speaker 10: the other guy. Wise, I think it is go deep
Speaker 10: and take the bulk. I think it's just one of
Speaker 10: those things that obviously we got two of the first
Speaker 10: three guys that are being our left handed, so to
Speaker 10: get Ochred in there to take down the first inning,
Speaker 10: it makes sense. But they've only got a you know,
Speaker 10: three or four guys that are available out of the
Speaker 10: pen tonight, so hopefully we can do our job and
Speaker 10: you know, try to really tax them after tonight. But
Speaker 10: if you look at that lineup over there, there's a
Speaker 10: lot of guys that have a lot of hits in
Speaker 10: their Backs. The baseball card is pretty dang good, so
Speaker 10: I know that they're going to get up to play us,
Speaker 10: so we're gonna get their best, all right.
Speaker 3: There's a manager, Dave Roberts down of the dugout.
Speaker 5: Dodgers Baseball brought to you by a Morongo Casino Resort
Speaker 5: and Spa A grand Slam, four good times.
Speaker 3: When we continue, we'll hit it out of the park
Speaker 3: with David Vassay. That's next. As we leads up to
Speaker 3: Dodgers and Astros from Houston.
Speaker 5: Tim kas is the back to back World Series champion
Speaker 5: Dodgers audio.
Speaker 1: Now, as we were saying yes, is Marongo Casino Dodgers
Speaker 1: on jack on the official home of La Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 5: It's the Dodgers and the Astros from Houston on this
Speaker 5: Monday night. Yoshinobu Yamamoto in the mount first pitch at
Speaker 5: five ten touches. Baseball brought to by Alpateo, born in
Speaker 5: LA and made for your game day. Al Poto brings
Speaker 5: authentic Mexican style tomato, sauces, salsas and hot sauces right
Speaker 5: to your plate. L Pato, It's gourmet and a can.
Speaker 1: Tim kits On Dodgers on deck.
Speaker 4: I accept everybody for who they are.
Speaker 1: This is Dodger insider David Bassi.
Speaker 5: All right, DV Dodgers road trip continues as they make
Speaker 5: their way to the seven to one three to take
Speaker 5: on the Houston Astros after losing two to three in
Speaker 5: Saint Louis Blake Snell.
Speaker 3: What are the Dodgers gonna do when he returns?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 9: Right.
Speaker 4: We don't fully understand what the Dodgers are thinking with
Speaker 4: Roki Sasaki except they're trying to give him every opportunity
Speaker 4: to be a starting pitcher. And obviously they believe that
Speaker 4: he can be one of the better starting pitchers if
Speaker 4: you go back to his initial press conference, but the
Speaker 4: results haven't reflected that it'll be hard to sell justin
Speaker 4: Roblesky going back to the bullpen in a long man
Speaker 4: role after what he's done with this opportunity. And quite honestly,
Speaker 4: there's an argument to be made that Roki Sasaki has
Speaker 4: pitched as well as Emits and if not better, especially
Speaker 4: in the last two stars. So I just feel like
Speaker 4: when Snow comes back, they are going to keep Roki
Speaker 4: in the starting rotation. And right now, I feel like
Speaker 4: if you had to handicap things. Maybe Emid Shehan needs
Speaker 4: to work out things to get more consistent with his
Speaker 4: velocity because he was all over the place in Saint Louis.
Speaker 5: David is brought to by the Ford Maverick Motor Trends
Speaker 5: of the North American Truck of the Year, the Ford
Speaker 5: Maverick Everything you need in the most innovative truck with
Speaker 5: forty two miles per gallon the best MSRP. If its
Speaker 5: category is time to see Ford in a new light,
Speaker 5: go to your Southern California have for dealers today, David.
Speaker 5: Do the Dodgers have a new celebration.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I don't know if you caught this yesterday, but it
Speaker 4: looks like kind of like a drop kick. And the
Speaker 4: people on social media, as always, don't have a clue.
Speaker 4: They're trying to say the Dodgers started this celebration because
Speaker 4: of Dalton Rushing and him almost kicking Yoshi Yamamoto when
Speaker 4: he made the last out on Saturday. Nothing to do
Speaker 4: with Dalton Rushing. Whether or not you like this celebration
Speaker 4: or not, the facts are they came up with this
Speaker 4: celebration to kick the bad vibes away. M Yeah, so
Speaker 4: it has nothing to do with Dalton Rushing despite all
Speaker 4: the bloggers out there trying to make a connection. That's
Speaker 4: unfair to Dalton Rushing. And I feel like everybody needs
Speaker 4: to pump the brakes on a really good kid, and
Speaker 4: it seems like whatever he does is under a microscope
Speaker 4: for some reason these days. But that new celebration where
Speaker 4: they're doing a late kick has nothing to do with
Speaker 4: Dalton Rushing.
Speaker 5: Good to know, all right, David Show, Hey, Otani named
Speaker 5: the picture of the Month in the National League.
Speaker 3: Did you vote for him?
Speaker 1: I did not.
Speaker 6: I did not.
Speaker 4: He's had an incredible month. But what swayed me was
Speaker 4: Tyler glass Now making five incredible starts, having one of
Speaker 4: the having the most strikeouts of any Dodger, and also
Speaker 4: the fact that he almost came this close to throwing
Speaker 4: a no hitter in San Francisco. That last start that
Speaker 4: glass Now made in San Francisco really left an impression
Speaker 4: on me. Eight scoreless innings, only one hit. So I
Speaker 4: leaned towards Glass now, But obviously the voters out there,
Speaker 4: anything close, it's gonna go to Otani, which you know,
Speaker 4: goes back to the end of the year. If Otani
Speaker 4: can qualify for the Era title, which is around one
Speaker 4: hundred and sixty two and two thirds innings. If he
Speaker 4: qualifies for that era title and pitches the way he
Speaker 4: pitched in April, I don't see any way the Major
Speaker 4: League Baseball voters writers out there don't vote for him
Speaker 4: for the cy Young.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no doubt.
Speaker 5: We won't tell him that you didn't vote for him, David.
Speaker 5: We'll keep that between just us, all right.
Speaker 4: I mean, everybody votes for him.
Speaker 6: Give somebody else a chance.
Speaker 5: All right, We'll give somebody else a chance. With Charlie
Speaker 5: Steiner coming up in just a little bit. Thank you,
Speaker 5: DV as we continue here on Marongo because you know,
Speaker 5: Dodgers on deck.
Speaker 3: We'll hear from Charlie. We're gonna hear from Dodgers.
Speaker 5: Spanish broadcaster Luis Cruz coming up. We got your magical moment, though,
Speaker 5: don't go anywhere. We lead you up to Dodgers and
Speaker 5: Astros on this gloomy Monday here in southern California. Hopefully

Speaker 1: This is Marongo Casino, Dodgers on dech on, your home
Speaker 1: for the Blue all season.
Speaker 5: Long, Dodgers and Astros. Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Steven Oker at the
Speaker 5: pitching MATCHO Oker at the opener for Houston Today. Time
Speaker 5: now for the Verizon startup, as we are thirty four
Speaker 5: minutes away from the start of the game. Now, Verizon,
Speaker 5: you can lock in your low price for three years
Speaker 5: so you can save big visit the Verizon store. Today
Speaker 5: we hand things off to Charlie Steiner.
Speaker 12: All right, Tim, Tonight we begin with some sad news
Speaker 12: but passing of John Sterling died this morning at the
Speaker 12: age of eighty seven. He'd been in ill health the
Speaker 12: last few weeks.
Speaker 6: Talked to him just a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 12: In fact, John began in New York, at least we
Speaker 12: began together in nineteen seventy eight. He was doing sports
Speaker 12: talk on WMCA. Then he would broadcast for the Nets
Speaker 12: and the Islanders, before going to Atlanta and announcing for
Speaker 12: the Braves and coming back to New York in nineteen
Speaker 12: eighty eight to begin his tenure with the Yankees. And
Speaker 12: John and I worked together for three years before moving
Speaker 12: out here to Los Angeles. And of course you know
Speaker 12: John as well, Oh your memories of him.
Speaker 7: Well, I know that you and I have talked about
Speaker 7: John a lot over the years, not just now. In
Speaker 7: reflecting back, he was very unique, no question about as
Speaker 7: you mentioned, and he really left a big imprint, not
Speaker 7: just with the New York Yankees, but I think in
Speaker 7: broadcasting on top of that, the way he made calls,
Speaker 7: they were unique.
Speaker 6: They stood out.
Speaker 7: It fit with the Yankees at that particular time, in
Speaker 7: a bond that he had with the organization. It's one
Speaker 7: of those areas that we lose friends. But he just
Speaker 7: made a big, big impact, not only again not only
Speaker 7: with the Yankees, but in broadcasting.
Speaker 12: I can always hear him, whether I walked into the booth,
Speaker 12: talk to him on the phone. He say, Charles, my boy,
Speaker 12: we passed away this morning. He really was an icon.
Speaker 12: So now to the Dodgers and the Astros.
Speaker 6: The first of three.
Speaker 12: The Dodgers four game losing streak finally came to an
Speaker 12: end yesterday at twenty one and thirteen first place, a
Speaker 12: half a game in front of San Diego. They play
Speaker 12: the Giants tonight. The Astros fourteen and twenty one. They're
Speaker 12: in fourth place in the American League West, four and
Speaker 12: a half behind the Athletics, one game in front of
Speaker 12: the last place Angels, and Tonight Yamamoto goes for the Dodgers.
Speaker 12: It will be an opener for the Astros.
Speaker 7: Stephen Okert and Okert a local product out of southern
Speaker 7: California at Riverside. It was born and then out of
Speaker 7: the University of Oklahoma. So he'll be in there for
Speaker 7: one inning, maybe in a batter or two in that
Speaker 7: second ending, depending on who's coming up in the score
Speaker 7: of the ball game, very very early. But it's going
Speaker 7: to be really with Yama Moto. It's going to be
Speaker 7: an interesting situation because here's a couple of numbers with
Speaker 7: Yamamoto that I found.
Speaker 6: He gets ahead in the count.
Speaker 7: He's been lights out, one sixty three batting average against.
Speaker 7: This number that's coming up surprised me this morning when
Speaker 7: I found it. When he's behind in the count, which
Speaker 7: he hasn't been that often, it's a three ninety five
Speaker 7: batting average against. So there is a little motivation to
Speaker 7: make sure you get ahead in the count very early.
Speaker 12: The Dodgers pitching has been outstanding. The starters in particular.
Speaker 12: The Dodger starters collectively are fifteen and seven with a
Speaker 12: two ninety one ER. The Astros, on the other hand,
Speaker 12: ten to eleven in ERA five at a third next
Speaker 12: lowest ra for starting staffs, the Atlanta Braids are fifteen
Speaker 12: and six three seventeen ER. Yankee starters fifteen and seven
Speaker 12: and two seventy four ER. The starters have been good,
Speaker 12: the bullpen is beginning to get better, and what's interesting.
Speaker 12: You look at the Dodgers and the Astros. Offensively, they're
Speaker 12: roughly the same.
Speaker 6: Hard to believe, but true, yeah they are.
Speaker 7: Dodgers are second highest team at batting average and the
Speaker 7: Astros are third highest. And the Astros are sixth in
Speaker 7: run scored, seventh in home runs. Dodgers are seventh in runs,
Speaker 7: third in home runs. But if we're touching on the
Speaker 7: home runs, this has been a dry spell for the Dodgers.
Speaker 7: They've gone six consecutive games without hitting a home run.
Speaker 7: And they don't have to hit home runs to win
Speaker 7: ball games. They're having to find other ways, and right
Speaker 7: now they're having to find other ways with really not
Speaker 7: a whole lot of guys swinging the bat exceptionally well
Speaker 7: in the lineup.
Speaker 12: Dodgers have hit forty five home runs. They hit forty
Speaker 12: two in the first twenty two games, but only three
Speaker 12: home runs in the last twelve. Dodgers forty five home runs,
Speaker 12: the Astros forty three.
Speaker 6: Who to thunk that, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 7: But where the Astros have fallen really short And if
Speaker 7: you look at their injury list, majority are pitchers. I mean,
Speaker 7: they have been decimated in that area. But they're last
Speaker 7: place as far as overall era, the Astros are almost
Speaker 7: at six runs in every nine innings that they have worked.
Speaker 7: You mentioned the starting pitchers for the Dodgers, they had
Speaker 7: been exceptional. But for the Houston Astros, I mean they're
Speaker 7: trying to figure out how they can get more victories.
Speaker 7: I mean, fourteen and twenty one, they're just eight and
Speaker 7: eight at home. But they're trying to say to themselves, hey,
Speaker 7: wait a minute, we're in a hot streak.
Speaker 6: They've won two in a row, maybe Boston.
Speaker 12: They came off the road three and three Boston and Baltimore,
Speaker 12: and now they're home. But they're facing the Dodgers who
Speaker 12: have dominated them in recent years.
Speaker 6: They have, and we're going to find out.
Speaker 7: Also, one thing about it, you can I just close
Speaker 7: your eyes and forget about it too. There's still the
Speaker 7: attachment of a certain trash can that was in the
Speaker 7: dugout many many years ago during World Series. And yes,
Speaker 7: we're still going to be hearing from that end of
Speaker 7: It's going to be a nice return, I would imagine
Speaker 7: also for Kyle Tucker his return here to Houston where
Speaker 7: he began as Major League Chris are going to find
Speaker 7: out one quick note, uh show, Hey, Otani, who normally
Speaker 7: takes batting practice almost every day inside, not on the field.
Speaker 7: He did take early batting practice on the field today.
Speaker 7: What that means overall, we will wait and see, but
Speaker 7: hopefully he turns things around. It's been a struggle for
Speaker 7: Otani at the top of the lineup the last number
Speaker 7: of games.
Speaker 12: Otani hitless in his last four games, zero for fourteen.
Speaker 12: In his last nineteen games, Otani is hitting just two nineteen,
Speaker 12: So the Dodgers certainly hoping he can straighten things out.
Speaker 12: So it's the Dodgers in the Astros, the first of
Speaker 12: three and the lineups and first pitch right around the corner.
Speaker 3: Jed all right, thank you, Charlie.

Speaker 4: Well right now he's in the Dodgers Spanish radio booth.
Speaker 4: But I first got to know Luis Cochito Cruz when
Speaker 4: he was wearing number forty seven, bursting onto the scene
Speaker 4: with this great defense and timely hitting.
Speaker 13: Louis great to.
Speaker 6: Have you on the show.
Speaker 4: Thanks a lot for the time.
Speaker 13: Thanks for the invite.
Speaker 14: Man, I'm always open to talk to you about baseball,
Speaker 14: and I really love the Dodges and love baseball.
Speaker 4: Did you imagine yourself sitting here when you came to
Speaker 4: spring training back in twenty twelve, twenty thirteen.
Speaker 14: No, I think it's from all this the things I
Speaker 14: thought I was.
Speaker 13: Gonna do when I hired.
Speaker 14: I think I never thought about being a broadcaster or analyst.
Speaker 13: And you know what has been great.
Speaker 14: And I got a good tea shirt with Rosema, a
Speaker 14: friend who's been helping me a lot as an engineer
Speaker 14: audio engineer, So I'm really happy. I'm still learning. But
Speaker 14: the good thing is that I love baseball. I still
Speaker 14: have passion for the game, and it's good to like
Speaker 14: see some guys that you we used to be teammates.
Speaker 13: Still now they're old, but like it's.
Speaker 14: Good to go down and say hi to a lot
Speaker 14: of guys and you still feel part of the game.
Speaker 4: I'm not sure Dodger fans realize this. When you talk
Speaker 4: about former teammates, it's not just former teammates major League Baseball.
Speaker 4: You spent a couple of years playing for Lote in Japan,
Speaker 4: and that's where he played against guys like show Hey Otani,
Speaker 4: say A, Suzuki, Yamamoto, Imanaga, all those guys.
Speaker 14: Yeah, all those guys, they were younger than me when
Speaker 14: when I was there as a better and I was
Speaker 14: like thirty thirty three years old and they were coming up.
Speaker 13: But you can see Shoi it was gonna be great.
Speaker 14: I mean, I didn't know he was gonna be theas
Speaker 14: great because he's been really good. But all those guys
Speaker 14: like Suzuki say he always you can see like a
Speaker 14: stereotype of.
Speaker 13: Big league players.
Speaker 14: And I'm really happy to to, you know, go down
Speaker 14: and say hi to them, and they still remember. And
Speaker 14: they kind of bollowed me because I was a SEMPIPI
Speaker 14: means I was older, so they kind of like say
Speaker 14: hi to you like bowling, and I really love for
Speaker 14: a player like me, you.
Speaker 13: Know, it's really tough.
Speaker 14: I was a utility player back then, and I wanted
Speaker 14: to play every day, and I got my time in
Speaker 14: the big leagues, but never had a really good chance
Speaker 14: to play every day. And when I make the decision
Speaker 14: to go to Japan, it's like, Okay, now I need
Speaker 14: to play every day and make something for my family
Speaker 14: and play. I ended up playing for four years in
Speaker 14: Japan and I love it.
Speaker 4: What do you remember about show hal Tani in Japan.
Speaker 14: I faced him in twenty fourteen spring training and uh
Speaker 14: in Okinawa and he was throwing hard, but he was wild.
Speaker 14: So I'm like, oh, this is the the kid everybody's
Speaker 14: talking about. At the beginning, I thought okay, but once
Speaker 14: we face him during the season, he was nasty. He
Speaker 14: was throwing one on one. He was he was more
Speaker 14: like a thrower, like he got only fastball, clider and splitting.
Speaker 13: That's the only three pitches he had.
Speaker 14: And I mean I faced him so many times that
Speaker 14: I always give him a hard time.
Speaker 13: Like remember when I hit.
Speaker 14: The double, he probably struck me out like ten times,
Speaker 14: more than ten times, but.
Speaker 13: Obviously he can remember that. I want to remember the
Speaker 13: double a hit.
Speaker 14: So you can see from back then twenty fourteen, he
Speaker 14: was gonna be great. I make a post in my
Speaker 14: Instagram page in twenty fifteen and I say, hey, remember
Speaker 14: this kid, He's.
Speaker 13: Gonna be good. And I never thought we were gonna
Speaker 13: be in the same team.
Speaker 14: Obviously I'm from the boot, but like having the same
Speaker 14: you know, colors in the team, and he's gage.
Speaker 4: Luis Cochito Cruz is our guest in front of first pitch.
Speaker 4: Can you explain to us I feel like we take
Speaker 4: for granted the greatness of Otani and what he's trying
Speaker 4: to do at age thirty one to continue to pitch
Speaker 4: and also be this great hitter. What's the recovery for him?
Speaker 4: And how do the Dodgers navigate whether or not giving
Speaker 4: him a day off when he pitches?
Speaker 13: Well, I think.
Speaker 14: This Japanese culture is really like they really work like hard.
Speaker 13: But to show I have to do it like both ways,
Speaker 13: like pitching and hitting. And I think what he does
Speaker 13: is like that's what we call him a unicorn. I
Speaker 13: mean a lot of other teams complain about.
Speaker 14: Oh you guys have another extra peachure blah blah blah.
Speaker 13: It's okay, go get a guy like Joy. I mean
Speaker 13: you had a chance to get CHOI.
Speaker 14: You know, like they just complain because they don't have it.
Speaker 14: So I think Shoi has been great.
Speaker 13: I think he's.
Speaker 14: Recover He's like sleep, He's sleep most of the time.
Speaker 14: Like I can see him on the boss when we're
Speaker 14: going into the stadium, Like if he's a fifteen minute ride,
Speaker 14: he take advantage of it instead of us. We just
Speaker 14: got him the phone. You know, he knows he got
Speaker 14: his times and he know what to do to be
Speaker 14: good for the next day.
Speaker 13: A man of the world.
Speaker 4: Luis Cochito Cruz, thanks a lot for the time, and
Speaker 4: it's awesome to have you around every day. And certainly
Speaker 4: it was great times with you and me in twenty
Speaker 4: twelve and twenty thirteen.
Speaker 3: And we'll keep it going now.

Speaker 3: He is oh No. The four to twenty era. Ochert
Speaker 3: came up with.
Speaker 5: The Giants in twenty sixteen. Pitch for him for a
Speaker 5: couple of years, then he pitched for the Marlins, got
Speaker 5: hurt twins. Now in his second season with the Houston Astro,
Speaker 5: was making his first start in his career. This is
Speaker 5: his fifth start. He is basically a reliever, but he's
Speaker 5: the opener tonight, making his eighteenth appearance of this season.
Speaker 5: He last pitched yesterday, one shutout in he won hit
Speaker 5: one strikeout against the Boston Red Sox. He is going
Speaker 5: up against Yoshinobu Yamamoto two and two, two to eighty
Speaker 5: seven ERA, the twenty seven year old right hander in

Speaker 5: into tonight first place atop the NL West in front
Speaker 5: of the San Diego Padres, the Dodgers leading the division
Speaker 5: by a half game as they sit at twenty one
Speaker 5: and thirteen, playing five hundred baseball over the last week

Speaker 5: keys to the game are coming up next. Don't you
Speaker 5: go anywhere. I'm Tim Katson. This is the back to

Speaker 1: This is Marongo Casino Dodgers on.
Speaker 9: Tech on your home for the Blue All season low.
Speaker 5: It's the Dodgers and the Astros on this Monday start
Speaker 5: of a three game set, Dodgers fresh off a win
Speaker 5: over the Saint Louis Cardinals. As we get you ready
Speaker 5: for first pitch in the start of the game with
Speaker 5: the Saporo start. Ah, yeah, great moments, start with Sapporo beer.
Speaker 5: Whatever your taste preference. Toporo has you cover with a
Speaker 5: variety of refreshman and Crisp loggers, including light and non

Speaker 2: Texas at dyk In Park, Rufe has closed as it
Speaker 2: usually is here. It was open this afternoon, beautiful this afternoon,
Speaker 2: but they're going to close it up anyway for the
Speaker 2: ball game tonight. Yoshanova Yamamoto at two and two, coming
Speaker 2: off the game in which he walked a season high
Speaker 2: four against the Marlins. It was his only non quality
Speaker 2: start of the season. He got a no decision, allowed
Speaker 2: four runs, three yearn and five innings. Pitch looking to
Speaker 2: come back with a bounce back tonight.
Speaker 7: I think if the Dodgers learned anything in yesterday's game
Speaker 7: with Gribleski, is it trust your infield, trust your outfield,
Speaker 7: trust the defense. And I say that because Yamamoto you're
Speaker 7: saying walk four in the last out of the hend.
Speaker 7: Here's the other part too. Yamamota's been lights out. He
Speaker 7: gets ahead in the council one forty three batting average against. However,
Speaker 7: when he falls behind in the count, that batting average
Speaker 7: against balloons.
Speaker 6: Up to three ninety five, throw strikes. Trust the defense.
Speaker 2: Astro's going with an opener for the second straight day.
Speaker 2: Left handers Steven Okert will start. It'll be his fifth
Speaker 2: major league start, and then we expect to see Ryan
Speaker 2: Weiss come in to take the bulk of the innings
Speaker 2: following Okert. Dodgers and the Astros Game one of three
