Speaker 1: For the back to back World Champions of Baseball.
Speaker 2: One of the greatest runs in the history of baseball.
Speaker 1: Immortality is within their reach.
Speaker 3: Incredible and while others make excuses.
Speaker 4: The only reason the Dodgers are doing this because they can.
Speaker 4: They printing money.
Speaker 1: The Dodgers just can't continue.
Speaker 4: It's not fair.
Speaker 1: Are making plans.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a singular focus on controlling what they can control.
Speaker 6: Now your pregame host of the World Champion La Dodgers,
Speaker 6: Tam kats.
Speaker 3: Hi everybody, and welcome in to Morongo Casino Dodgers on
Speaker 3: Deck here official pregame show the back to back World
Speaker 3: Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers on this Tuesday night, April fourteenth,
Speaker 3: twenty twenty six. As the Dodgers twelve and four on
Speaker 3: this season, they took the series opener against the Mets
Speaker 3: last night. Tonight, they let's do it again in a
Speaker 3: great pitching matchup. Yoshinobu Yamamoto on the mound, first pitcher,
Speaker 3: Uniclo Field. The Dodger Stadium is coming up at seven
Speaker 3: to ten. Between then and now, we got a lot
Speaker 3: to get to here on Maronggo Casino Dodgers on Deck.
Speaker 3: You're gonna hear from the manager himself, Dave Roberts, get
Speaker 3: his thoughts on what's happening with his team, an update
Speaker 3: on the injuries as well. We'll preview this pitching matchup.
Speaker 3: David vatsegoes one on one with Justin Robleski.
Speaker 4: More on him in a minute.
Speaker 3: We got your Dodgers' magical moment and in just a
Speaker 3: few minutes we will catch up with Kirston Watson and
Speaker 3: head out to Steven Nelson and Rick Monday in the
Speaker 3: Galloping Ford Broadcast booth. Well, yesterday, Justin Robleski was eat electric.
Speaker 3: He fired a career high eight scoreless innings, giving up
Speaker 3: only two hits while striking out two in his second
Speaker 3: win of this season. It was the first time this
Speaker 3: year that a Dodger pitcher reached more than six innings
Speaker 3: in a start. He made only six pitches in the
Speaker 3: sixth inning. He was so efficient, with only just two
Speaker 3: strikeouts in the game. As far as the Dodgers' offense
Speaker 3: was concerned, well, they gave him the run support that
Speaker 3: he needed and it started in the first runners on
Speaker 3: for Will Smith.
Speaker 7: Dodger two catchers combined are hitting three fifty seven with
Speaker 7: a four to nineteen on base percentage. There's a hard
Speaker 7: ground ball basic in the left center field.
Speaker 1: Otani is around third.
Speaker 8: He'll come in to score an RBI single for Will
Speaker 8: Smith and the Dodgers probably have a one to nothing league.
Speaker 9: Oh, they got can position the hard way hit batter.
Speaker 9: Then good eye Tucker drew the walk and for Will Smith, yep,
Speaker 9: he delivers yet again.
Speaker 3: Will Smith with the RBIs single scoring show Hey Otani,
Speaker 3: Dodgers weren't done. Then in the third, two on for
Speaker 3: Andy pies first and.
Speaker 7: Third, two out, one nothing Dodgers. Bottom half of the third,
Speaker 7: Peterson delivers.
Speaker 4: They're gonna fly ball left.
Speaker 7: Down the line and it is done.
Speaker 8: Three run home run for Andy pahees Smith home run
Speaker 8: of the year. Three run flash. He's got twenty RBI's
Speaker 8: and the Dodgers have a board.
Speaker 3: And that's the top tier play of the game, brought
Speaker 3: to you by ourco quality, top tier gas. For last,
Speaker 3: Andy pat has his fifth home run of the season.
Speaker 3: That three run shot gave the Dodgers a four nothing
Speaker 3: lead and they never looked back. Miguel Rojas, by the way,
Speaker 3: finished the night three for four, his fifty first career
Speaker 3: game with three plus since the last time to do
Speaker 3: it was April of last season. With the win, the
Speaker 3: Dodgers improve on the season, out twelve and four overall,
Speaker 3: and tonight they look to do it again against the
Speaker 3: New York Mets. Yoshinobu Yamamoto on the mount first pitch
Speaker 3: at seven to ten and with more than set out
Speaker 3: to the galpin Ford broadcast booth as we welcome in Steamer,
Speaker 3: Nephis Nelson and Rick Monday.
Speaker 4: Guys.
Speaker 2: All right, Tim Kats, it's a beautiful Tuesday afternoon in
Speaker 2: the evening shaping up here at the stadium, and I
Speaker 2: think the only thing Dodger fans would like to see
Speaker 2: on top of this weather would be another w and
Speaker 2: another series win. Mod But they have been excellent, the
Speaker 2: Dodgers have in the start of this twenty twenty six season,
Speaker 2: making a statement early in series, taking games one and or.
Speaker 4: Two, yeah, and scoring early.
Speaker 9: And that's the case last night, although they let a
Speaker 9: golden opportunity maybe make it more than just one run
Speaker 9: in the first inning last night, but the Mets pitching
Speaker 9: came through and did that. And as good as the
Speaker 9: Dodgers are playing, the New York Mets are looking to
Speaker 9: snap a six game losing streak, and they've got a
Speaker 9: guy who's a tough customer and Nolan McLain who's going
Speaker 9: for them. Yeah, Chinobo Yabamota going for the Dodgers. But
Speaker 9: I thought last night was kind of indicative from three
Speaker 9: different angles, from an offensive standpoint, from a defensive standpoint,
Speaker 9: and from a pitching standpoint. The Dodgers, that's the reason
Speaker 9: that they wanted by a score a Ford to nothing
Speaker 9: and New York having difficulty swinging the bats only three
Speaker 9: hits last night.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Look, the Dodgers are catching the Mets at a
Speaker 2: great time or the worst time you feel, probably if
Speaker 2: you're a fan of New York is It's now six
Speaker 2: consecutive losses for the Mets. They've been outscored thirty four
Speaker 2: to nine in this losing streak. They haven't scored since
Speaker 2: the seventh inning last Saturday, a stretch of twenty offensive
Speaker 2: innings without a run, and not even does that they're
Speaker 2: not I mean hitting the ball, he said a bucko
Speaker 2: nine in the six game skid. They didn't have an
Speaker 2: extra base hit last night. So the Dodgers want to
Speaker 2: continue that trend, and they got the right guy on
Speaker 2: the bump for it. In Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who will be
Speaker 2: opposite and Olan McLain who he referenced earlier. But Justin
Speaker 2: Robleski tip of the cap to him MO for setting
Speaker 2: a tone in this series. Eight shutout innings. The first
Speaker 2: Dodger to record it out in the seventh this year,
Speaker 2: and he.
Speaker 9: Went eight and he did a good job too, fourteen
Speaker 9: outs as a result of ground balls that were thrown,
Speaker 9: and a little surprising there were only two strikeouts. I mean,
Speaker 9: here's a guy that was in total control, only two strikeouts.
Speaker 9: And the other part that I found there were only
Speaker 9: four swings and misses at pitches that Robleski threw last night.
Speaker 9: So he say, hey, wait a minute, how can it
Speaker 9: be that dominant only four swings and misses. It's because
Speaker 9: he had precise location with pitches that he made and
Speaker 9: induced a lot of ground ball outs.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's something that you made mention of
Speaker 2: multiple times on the broadcast, and it's an excellent point.
Speaker 1: And when you were throwing.
Speaker 2: The ball with conviction, Justin Obleski is actually one of
Speaker 2: the more confident guys the Daughters have on their roster.
Speaker 2: When you throw the ball with conviction and that having
Speaker 2: that the quote unquote trust in your stuff, the old cliche,
Speaker 2: and trust in your defense behind you that they're going
Speaker 2: to back you up, and they did several times last night,
Speaker 2: Like that is a that's a winning recipe. I know
Speaker 2: it's not the recipe in the current iteration of Major
Speaker 2: League Baseball, but you saw that it could be a
Speaker 2: good recipe.
Speaker 9: Including mcguil Rojas, and it made just a sensational play
Speaker 9: early in the ballgame, in fact, leading off the second inning,
Speaker 9: just a circus catch if you will, to stop any momentum.
Speaker 9: And the Dodgers have a lot of things going for
Speaker 9: them as so on Campbell's start at shortstop tonight. That's
Speaker 9: the only difference really in this lineup other than the positioning.
Speaker 9: And the story continues to go also Steven with when
Speaker 9: Andy Potter has is doing. I mean, here's a guy's
Speaker 9: hitting coming on four seventeen. You start to look at
Speaker 9: the number of hits. He's right at top on that one.
Speaker 9: The number of RBIs is twenty. He's number one in
Speaker 9: that category. And he has flat worn out bullpens. He's
Speaker 9: hitting over four when he's had a chance to get
Speaker 9: to a bullpen of the opposing team.
Speaker 2: Well, the Dodgers is gonna try and take another series.
Speaker 2: That's the name of the game. Over the course of
Speaker 2: one hundred and sixty two you stack wins, and you
Speaker 2: stack series wins in a win tonight would do just
Speaker 2: that against the New York Mets. We'll be back a
Speaker 2: little bit later, Tim with a key from moment.
Speaker 4: All right, thank you Nelly as for counting down to

Speaker 3: Tuesday night. Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Nolan McClain the pitching MATCHUF first
Speaker 3: pitch coming up at seven ten.
Speaker 1: This is the Otani rewh.
Speaker 3: Well like quiet night at the plate for sho Hey
Speaker 3: Otania last night. He went o for four with the strikeout. However,
Speaker 3: Shoei Otani was hitting the back on his right shoulder
Speaker 3: during his first at bat last night, extending his career
Speaker 3: best on Bay streak to forty seven games, which is
Speaker 3: now tied with Ron Say for the fourth longest streak
Speaker 3: in franchise history. Will also being tied for the second
Speaker 3: longest on Bay streak in LA Dodger history, trailing only

Speaker 3: That's cars with the k Andy pat has Is there
Speaker 3: anybody hotter to start this twenty twenty six season.
Speaker 10: No, there's actually literally not. He has the best batting
Speaker 10: average in Major League Baseball, he has, he's number one
Speaker 10: in hits. He what is first in RBI as well, Like,
Speaker 10: I don't think there is when it comes to what
Speaker 10: he has been able to do. And you know what,
Speaker 10: now we're about what three weeks into the regular season,
Speaker 10: and we're starting to really see the consistency in what
Speaker 10: he's done. I think obviously, sometimes when you see players
Speaker 10: get off to a hot start, you're like, oh, wow,
Speaker 10: he's on fire right now, but it feels like at
Speaker 10: some time it's going to cool off. Now, yes it
Speaker 10: is base on, it's one hundred and sixty two games.
Speaker 10: He will in fact cool off just a bit. But
Speaker 10: it does seem like he has made the mechanical changes
Speaker 10: and he's really put in the work this offseason to
Speaker 10: make it so that his swing, his pitch selection, everything
Speaker 10: is in such a better position. And I think what
Speaker 10: Dave Roberts was saying this afternoon with Andy Piez, if
Speaker 10: we go back to that game three and Toronto on
Speaker 10: which the team lost, he had four strikeouts in that game.
Speaker 10: Then you turn around to game one in the Ranger series,
Speaker 10: he had a night in which he had three hits,
Speaker 10: two runs, and just the fact that you have a
Speaker 10: player who he didn't allow for that four strikeout game
Speaker 10: to become a snowball effect, and that is very telling
Speaker 10: us to where he is mentally, where he's at physically,
Speaker 10: and just a continuation of the praise of the work
Speaker 10: that he put in this offseason.
Speaker 3: Justin Robleski talking about a guy putting in work last
Speaker 3: night eight shutout any of my.
Speaker 10: Goodness, literally, my goodness. He had a remarkable performance on
Speaker 10: the mound and for him, even just how he was
Speaker 10: navigating through this Met's lineup, he kind of he primarily
Speaker 10: was going fastball, yeah, fastball, slider, And even with that,
Speaker 10: you know, when you look at what he was able
Speaker 10: to achieve in October, the four shutout innings of work
Speaker 10: out of the bullpen and relief, and we just really
Speaker 10: saw his confidence continue to grow on that back end
Speaker 10: of the regular season as well as the postseason last year.
Speaker 10: And the mindset was very much, you know, just go
Speaker 10: out there, attack, attack, at even if you're a starter, attack, attack, attack.
Speaker 10: You don't want to allow yourself to ease into games,
Speaker 10: and we saw Justin do that from the beginning. He
Speaker 10: was efficient, The stuff was effective how he was playing.
Speaker 10: He of course continued to praise Will Smith in the
Speaker 10: game that Will called and was finding. You know, He's like,
Speaker 10: you know, honestly, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Speaker 10: The stuff was playing well. Yes, he did mixing a
Speaker 10: few curve balls here and there, but the fact that
Speaker 10: majority of his usage is one of was essentially two pitches,
Speaker 10: the fastball or the slider. It was just so telling
Speaker 10: us to where he was, how he was feeling on
Speaker 10: the mound. You know, he was asked if there was
Speaker 10: a conversation to go back out there for the ninth inning,
Speaker 10: and he said, you know, obviously the decision that Dave
Speaker 10: Roberts the organization makes, he was absolutely trusting. So there
Speaker 10: wasn't a conversation. But he did say that he feels that,
Speaker 10: you know, that's something that is a young pitcher like
Speaker 10: him you have to earn and he wants to earn that.
Speaker 10: And I think that was so telling us to who
Speaker 10: he is as a man, who is as an athlete,
Speaker 10: and how he does want to be in that position
Speaker 10: to continue to grow as a top pitcher in this
Speaker 10: league so that he has the opportunity to have a
Speaker 10: complete game, because he does still value those types of things.
Speaker 4: No doubt.
Speaker 3: From last year's postseason out of the bullpen to now
Speaker 3: it's starter, Justin Robleski has certainly earned everything. Cur's that
Speaker 3: we appreciate. We'll check out with you after the game
Speaker 3: is still to come. Here, I'm Wrongo Casino Dodgers on Deck.
Speaker 3: We'll dive deeper to this pitching matchup. David Vatte goes
Speaker 3: one on one whip speak of the devil Justin Robleski.
Speaker 3: But up next we get you an injury report and
Speaker 3: we'll hear from the Dodger manager Dave Roberts in his
Speaker 3: pregame thoughts. We lead you up to Dodgers and Mets
Speaker 3: on this Tuesday night. First pitch is seven ten. I'm
Speaker 3: Tim Kats' is the back to back world champion Dodgers Audio.
Speaker 6: Nowork, this is Marongo Casino Dodgers on.
Speaker 1: Deck on your home for the blue all season long.
Speaker 3: Wrongo Casino Dodgers on Deck continues on this Tuesday night.
Speaker 3: Is we are leading you up to Dodgers and the
Speaker 3: New York Mets, Yoshinoba Yup, Nolan McClain. The pitching matchup
Speaker 3: Morongo Casino Resorting Spy a Grand Slam for good times.
Speaker 3: First pitch coming up at seven tens.
Speaker 1: It's the La Dodger Injury Report.
Speaker 3: Presented by UCLA Healthy, Official medical partner of the Los
Speaker 3: Angeles Dodgers.
Speaker 4: Mookie Betts on the IEL with the right oblique train.
Speaker 3: Davids say, had a chance to catch up with MOOKI
Speaker 3: you're gonna hear from that conversation coming up in just
Speaker 3: a few minutes. Ben Casparraus on the IL with the
Speaker 3: right shoulder inflammation. Tommy Edmond Blake snell A Bruce Dark
Speaker 3: graderl Kiky Hernandez landing that, Gavin Stone, Evan Phillips All
Speaker 3: on the IL. Rock Stewart on the IL. He's actually
Speaker 3: making a minor league rehab appearance today in a ball
Speaker 3: out in Ontario with the tower buzzers, so his first
Speaker 3: time throwing to a hitter down in ab Also, he
Speaker 3: is training in the right direction. Let's head back out
Speaker 3: to the stadium and check out with the Dodger Skipper.
Speaker 1: Anything else, Dave do you think? Questions for Dave Dave.
Speaker 1: Can you just describe Dave.
Speaker 4: Can you talk about the pressure in the dugouts with.
Speaker 11: Dave Roberts, the way he's going about it, there's consistency
Speaker 11: of work. His demeanor is consistent, which he's always kind
Speaker 11: of like that. I like the you know, the internal insight.
Speaker 11: I think that he's swinging at the right pitches. The
Speaker 11: plate discipline has gotten a lot better, the quality of
Speaker 11: contact better, ability to hit all fields is real, and
Speaker 11: so I think that, Yeah, like I said last night,
Speaker 11: he's not going to hit four hundred, but I do
Speaker 11: think that the production of what he's doing, I think
Speaker 11: there's some consistencies there.
Speaker 10: There's a perfect example of that when he had that
Speaker 10: four strikeout game in Toronto but was able to turn
Speaker 10: the page quickly in the next one.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 11: Absolutely, you know, because I think certainly with young players,
Speaker 11: you sort sometimes a tend a spiral as a game
Speaker 11: speeds up. You know, one bad game turned into four
Speaker 11: bad games, and he was able to write the ship
Speaker 11: pretty quickly and just kind of stay to the fundamentals
Speaker 11: and basics and got a big hit that next day
Speaker 11: and just kind of went from there.
Speaker 3: All Right, there's a manager Dave Roberts. When we continue
Speaker 3: here on Moroco Casino Dodgers on a Deck, well check
Speaker 3: in with David Vesta, who again had a chance to
Speaker 3: catch up with Mookie Vetts.
Speaker 4: You're not gonna want to miss that. As we lead
Speaker 4: you up to first.
Speaker 3: Pitch Dodgers and Mets from Uniclo Field at Dodger Stadium,
Speaker 3: I'm Tim Kates is the back to back world champion
Speaker 3: Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 6: As we were saying, this is Marongo Casino Dodgers on
Speaker 6: tack On, the official home of La Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 3: Lead you up to Dodgers in the New York Mets
Speaker 3: on this Tuesday night, Yamamoto, Nolan McClain. The pitching matchup
Speaker 3: a good one. First pitch is seventy ten. Dodgers Baseball

Speaker 1: Joining Tim Kates on Dodgers on Tack.
Speaker 5: I accept everybody for who they are.
Speaker 1: This his Dodger insider David ba.
Speaker 3: All right, DV we mentioned a few minutes ago, you
Speaker 3: had a chance to catch up with Mookie Betts.
Speaker 4: How's he doing.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we saw him doing some agility drills out there
Speaker 5: with strength and conditioning coach Travis Smith, and as he
Speaker 5: came off the field, I figured, since the team's going
Speaker 5: on the road after tomorrow's game, nobody has really spoken
Speaker 5: to Mookie since he first went on the IL in Toronto,
Speaker 5: and he was pretty candid with where he's at in
Speaker 5: the rehab process.
Speaker 12: I'm able to throw run, I feel it, but it's
Speaker 12: not that bad. I haven't started hitting yet, but we're doing.
Speaker 4: Like medball throws.
Speaker 12: So we want to get fully comfortable with like throwing
Speaker 12: the med ball and like not having really any hesitation
Speaker 12: with that before we start swinging, just because I don't
Speaker 12: want to start developing bad habits because I'm scared to swing,
Speaker 12: you know so. But I mean, with all that being said,
Speaker 12: I mean things are going great. I mean, it's just
Speaker 12: an oblique and it's gonna take It's gonna take time.
Speaker 5: Do you only do you feel it still in everyday
Speaker 5: life or just in certain movements.
Speaker 12: No, just when I start doing like sports stuff, I
Speaker 12: mean everyday life, no, is way better. And I mean
Speaker 12: now it's now, I'm pretty normal. It's just when I
Speaker 12: get here and I start having to do like sports specific.
Speaker 4: Stuff, is when I start feeling it.
Speaker 12: And it's not that it hurts. I mean, it's not
Speaker 12: that it hurts.
Speaker 4: It's just that you feel it.
Speaker 12: And the more you you don't really want to you
Speaker 12: don't want to feel it because the more you feel it,
Speaker 12: it's it's the means it's still healing, and any quick
Speaker 12: movements from there can just re reinjurre and then it's
Speaker 12: them We're in a much worse spot.
Speaker 5: So, like the Dodgers said at the very beginning of
Speaker 5: all this, and we all know this with past athletes
Speaker 5: injuries with obliques, you gotta be extra careful not to
Speaker 5: rush it because it can make it a lot worse.
Speaker 5: And the Dodgers keep rolling even without Mookie bets And look,
Speaker 5: the Dodgers are headed to den for a four game
Speaker 5: series starting Friday night. That's not a place for any injuries.
Speaker 5: So certainly Mookie will not be on the next road trip,
Speaker 5: and we'll see where he's at when the Dodgers return
Speaker 5: home after this seven game trip.
Speaker 3: David is brought to you by the Ford Maverick Motor
Speaker 3: trends of North American Truck of the Year. The Ford
Speaker 3: Maverick everything you need in the most innovative truck with

Speaker 3: Go to your Southern California Ford Dealers today. I was
Speaker 3: listening to Dodge Talk last night. David, and you tease
Speaker 3: the pitching matchup for a ton I was like, man Yamamoto,
Speaker 3: Noelan McClain, what a great outing tonight.
Speaker 13: Yeah.
Speaker 5: And Austin Barnes, the former Dodger, was in camp with
Speaker 5: the Mets this spring training and he was raving about
Speaker 5: catching McLean's bullpens and even some live BPS. He said,
Speaker 5: he's the closest thing that he has seen to Yama Moto,
Speaker 5: So we'll see how good he is tonight. Nolan McLain,
Speaker 5: by the way, has an exceptional curveball. In forty at
Speaker 5: bats against his curveball hitters, I have only had three
Speaker 5: hits and have struck out twenty eight times, so this
Speaker 5: should be more of a pitcher's duel. But a lot
Speaker 5: of times we feel that way and it goes off
Speaker 5: the rail, Yamamoto. He has his resume speaks for itself.
Speaker 5: So Nolan McLain twenty four years old was part of
Speaker 5: Team USA's World Baseball Classic rotation. Everybody believes this guy
Speaker 5: is the truth, and everybody at Dodgers Stadium and listening
Speaker 5: tonight will be able to find out how he does
Speaker 5: against the best lineup in baseball.
Speaker 4: Should be a good one.
Speaker 3: Yamamoto on the mountain to start off this game at
Speaker 3: the top of the first end.
Speaker 4: David, we appreciate it.

Speaker 7: won eight of their last ten, twelve to four on
Speaker 7: the year. During the last ten games, the Dodgers, as
Speaker 7: hot as they've been, have outscored their opponents seventy two
Speaker 7: to thirty nine, and the Mets appear to be lost
Speaker 7: at sea. They've lost six in a row, during which
Speaker 7: time they've been outscored thirty four to nine. But the
Speaker 7: big story last night MOOE was Robleski. Two hits, struck
Speaker 7: out two, didn't walk anybody through ninety pitches, sixty four
Speaker 7: for strikes, a career high eight innings. It was the
Speaker 7: longest journey by any Dodgers starters so far this season.
Speaker 9: He and the most efficient start that we have so
Speaker 9: far this season. And I think one of the biggest
Speaker 9: things I talked about it last night during the ballgame,
Speaker 9: he understood look challenged some hitters, make them put the
Speaker 9: ball into play and trust the defense. And the defense
Speaker 9: behind him was absolutely superb, and in particular with a
Speaker 9: lead off a tenth for a base hit in the
Speaker 9: top of the second inning, just a marvelous play by
Speaker 9: Rojas at shortstop and it was a highlight type of
Speaker 9: a film. And then the two ground bowl double plays
Speaker 9: to help the Dodgers pitching get out of difficulties. But
Speaker 9: I thought last night Robleski really set the tone. And
Speaker 9: if you're looking for someone now in that number five
Speaker 9: starting spot, oh what a nice lefty to have in there.
Speaker 9: If he continues to go as he did last night.
Speaker 7: And got some help from Tanner Scott, who, by the way,
Speaker 7: again was just sixteen games into the season. He's beginning
Speaker 7: to look like the Tanner Scott of two years ago
Speaker 7: and not less.
Speaker 9: Yeah, exactly, and he's done a very good job, and
Speaker 9: he kind of settles in one of them, not very quickly,
Speaker 9: un Rubleski and I just looked at a note that
Speaker 9: I wrote down last night at the end of the
Speaker 9: ball game. You know, as well as he pitched, he
Speaker 9: had only two strikeouts, there were only four swings in misses,
Speaker 9: but the pitches were in such quality in location that
Speaker 9: a lot of ground balls they were fourteen outs when
Speaker 9: Robeski was in the ballgame last night, over his eight innings,
Speaker 9: fourteen outs that were attributed to ground balls that were
Speaker 9: hit to the infielders. He's simply it was. It was
Speaker 9: more than just dialing for dollars. I mean, he was
Speaker 9: dialing for outs and he got them career.
Speaker 7: High eight innings and only ninety pitches in his journey.
Speaker 7: One of the stories we were talking about last night
Speaker 7: before and during the game, the competing payrolls the Dodgers
Speaker 7: and the Mets roughly put it all together, about eight
Speaker 7: hundred million dollars worth of people out there. So I
Speaker 7: was looking at the Dodgers now, and they're forty man roster. Well,
Speaker 7: the Dodgers have twelve free agents, twelve players acquired by
Speaker 7: way of trade, and twelve homegrown players like Robleski Paz,
Speaker 7: Will Smith, Dalton Rushing, Alex Freelan emn She and Jack Dryer.
Speaker 7: Kyle Hurt, by the way, Kyle Hurt came over from
Speaker 7: the Marlins along with Alex Vesia. So it's the Dodgers
Speaker 7: aren't just buying players, They're putting a unit together, one
Speaker 7: through Ford.
Speaker 9: And I think the other part too, is and this
Speaker 9: is something that you and I have talked about over
Speaker 9: a number of years. It's one thing to say, hey,
Speaker 9: look we need and you can fill in the position.
Speaker 9: Let's say, for example, hey we need a second basement.
Speaker 9: Hey we need a left fielder, and you start to
Speaker 9: look at position players that could fill that bill. Well,
Speaker 9: you may have five or six is hey look at
Speaker 9: these numbers, Oh we need a guy you know, have
Speaker 9: those numbers and play second base or left field, whatever
Speaker 9: it may be. But the bottom line is the Dodgers
Speaker 9: make decisions on not only just the numbers, who's going
Speaker 9: to fit into our ball club, who's going to buy
Speaker 9: into the dedication and the expectations that it's more than
Speaker 9: just play a ball game. Now, I told Dave Roberts
Speaker 9: this the other day. Your team doesn't just show up
Speaker 9: to play a game. Your teams show up to win
Speaker 9: ball games. And that's very essential when you're selecting the
Speaker 9: people in their mental makeup.
Speaker 7: And through the first sixteen games of the season, not
Speaker 7: a day goes by where we can't talk about show
Speaker 7: Hey and Piz. Of course, show Hey very first inning
Speaker 7: he walked instead at his consecutive game streak to get
Speaker 7: on base forty seven straight all sixteen this year.
Speaker 1: Next on the.
Speaker 7: All time list for Otani, we Willie Keeler fifty consecutive
Speaker 7: games between nineteen hundred and nineteen oh one, and show
Speaker 7: Hey with the forty seven straight next on the list
Speaker 7: this year in Major League Baseball, Bryce terrang at nineteen games.
Speaker 7: And then there's Piez. Every night it seems like A
Speaker 7: he's flitting the back clearly on the ball and b
Speaker 7: in big situation, and of course, the three run home
Speaker 7: run last night game, set and match.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 9: Absolutely, I found some numbers on pie Hens today too.
Speaker 9: First of all, he's a top. If you look at
Speaker 9: all the hitters he has, you know, the twenty five hits.
Speaker 9: If you look at the RBIs, he has twenty that's
Speaker 9: on the tops. And then he is flat out worn
Speaker 9: out bullpens because against relief pitchers this year, he's hitting
Speaker 9: at for eighty three. By the way, that is also
Speaker 9: the best average of any player in Major League Baseball.
Speaker 7: It's the majors with twenty five hits twenty RBIs. Doesn't
Speaker 7: matter if he's a right handed pitcher or a left
Speaker 7: handed pitcher. Against right eas he's hitting four forty four
Speaker 7: against left east he's struggling four hundred Dodgers and Mets
Speaker 7: lineups and first pitch coming out ten.
Speaker 4: All right, thank you, Charlie.
Speaker 3: Dodgers Baseball is brought to you by our friends at
Speaker 3: Citio Ho Preparation, precision, an unrelenting commitment to being the

Speaker 3: Dodgers and Mets on this Tuesday night. You Oshanova, y,
Speaker 3: I'm amoo, and Nolan McClain. The pitching matchup, first pitch
Speaker 3: coming up at seven ten. Dodgers Baseball brought to you
Speaker 3: by Shaky's Pizza Parlor.
Speaker 4: What are you doing for dinner?
Speaker 3: Yeah, Shaky's Pizza Parlor the official pizza partner of the
Speaker 3: Dodgers audio broadcast. When it's game night, it's group night
Speaker 3: at Shaky's dot Com.
Speaker 6: And now what will likely be vast fielding insults from
Speaker 6: a Dodger player.
Speaker 4: It's an engagement of endearments is high and tight.
Speaker 5: Everybody wants a piece now. Everybody knows where Justin Robleski's
Speaker 5: locker now is in the Dodger Clubhouse after a great
Speaker 5: pitch game, Justin, thanks a lot for remembering the little people.
Speaker 5: I know there's a big crowd around your locker right now.
Speaker 5: I appreciate the time.
Speaker 14: Yeah, yeah, it's for Tanner, right next to Tanner's locker.
Speaker 14: That's what it's for.
Speaker 5: I love upsetting Tanner Scott, and that's why we're doing
Speaker 5: this interview right here.
Speaker 14: Yeah, we need to probably do it in front of
Speaker 14: his locker instead.
Speaker 5: No comment, no comment. I mean, this guy loves to hate.
Speaker 5: He's so jealousy.
Speaker 13: Because you said show me that beautiful bald head, and
Speaker 13: I hit him with the please show me that beautiful
Speaker 13: two pey.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to.
Speaker 14: Get Tanner some fampoo, but he's not a.
Speaker 1: Maybe just lotion.
Speaker 5: Well, here we go. Hey, Tanner, since you're here, what'd
Speaker 5: you think about what Robleski did last night? Since you
Speaker 5: closed the game out.
Speaker 12: For him, I honestly thought he was going back out
Speaker 12: me too, I mean, would you go ninety?
Speaker 1: I was ready.
Speaker 5: Efficient, very efficient.
Speaker 2: Hey three like five pitch innings maybe it was eight eight.
Speaker 14: Six for uh five six seven.
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, keep going, that's what we need.
Speaker 5: I actually talked to Miguil Rojas after the game last night,
Speaker 5: and it seemed like he was really excited that you
Speaker 5: kept your infielders engaged, you work quick, and kept those
Speaker 5: guys involved.
Speaker 14: Yeah, I think that's, you know, that's the key to
Speaker 14: to you know, getting deep into games. I think you
Speaker 14: watched a lot of the guys that that pitch quicker,
Speaker 14: and when you're throwing strikes like that, it's just a
Speaker 14: tack mote against the hitters, and I think it creates
Speaker 14: a level of discomfort with the hitters. And I think
Speaker 14: we have more of an advantage now than even in
Speaker 14: past years because of the pitch clock and everything else.
Speaker 14: And they only get one time out, so if you're
Speaker 14: just filling up his own and they're putting in playing
Speaker 14: getting out, I think it's it's just more uncomfortable on them.
Speaker 14: So I think that's and then yeah, like you said,
Speaker 14: it keeps them fielers engaged and keeps everybody you know,
Speaker 14: ready to go. So yeah, I love it.
Speaker 5: With that being said, you're a guy that came up
Speaker 5: through the miners with the pitch clock, do you feel
Speaker 5: like you have a better understanding on how to use
Speaker 5: that to your advantage?
Speaker 14: I would say, I'd say it's been something that you've
Speaker 14: kind of had to learn. It's just like a I
Speaker 14: don't know, it's it's a little nuanced. I don't think
Speaker 14: it's anything that's like super game breaking or game changing.
Speaker 14: But I think definitely for a guy like myself who
Speaker 14: likes to work quick, it's it's a little lot better
Speaker 14: because in college, like I'd be working quick and having
Speaker 14: a good outing and then you know everyone's like time
Speaker 14: and it's just calling three timeouts in at bad and
Speaker 14: you know it gets a little annoying and they can't
Speaker 14: do that anymore. So that's that's kind of a good
Speaker 14: part for me. But other than that, it's just a
Speaker 14: matter of you know, knowing how much time you need
Speaker 14: between pitches and kind of using it more of as
Speaker 14: like you know, how to get a breather. Then some
Speaker 14: of these guys do, like like Framber for example, stand
Speaker 14: there and stare at the ground for a while and
Speaker 14: try to get the hitter to get into the box late,
Speaker 14: which honestly credit to them. I think it's it's a
Speaker 14: smart thing to do if you can do it right,
Speaker 14: But I don't have the patience for that. So it's
Speaker 14: it's there's there's little games within the game you can
Speaker 14: do with it. But I'm more so just happy that
Speaker 14: we have it because it keeps me working quick and
Speaker 14: it keeps it to where the game can't get stalled
Speaker 14: if you're if you're cruising.
Speaker 5: So it's fair to say that you're a rhythm picture,
Speaker 5: especially with the new setup that you have where you're
Speaker 5: straddling the mound the rubber.
Speaker 14: Yeah, I'd say I'd say I've always been that kind
Speaker 14: of way. It's just, you know, I think for the
Speaker 14: most part, all of us are that way. It's just
Speaker 14: once you get into a groove and are feeling it
Speaker 14: and feel good, I think you want to just keep
Speaker 14: going and go as quickly as you can. But yeah,
Speaker 14: i'd say definitely, I'm definitely more of a rhythm guy.
Speaker 5: I guess the obvious question is today, how is Justin
Speaker 5: Robleski feeling after throwing more innings than you ever have
Speaker 5: in your professional career?
Speaker 14: Yeah, I feel good, I feel good. I feel normally
Speaker 14: I'm a day two shortness guy. So we'll see how
Speaker 14: I feel tomorrow. But today I feel pretty good. I
Speaker 14: feel like I'm not gonna throw them all to day.
Speaker 14: But I have an extra day this week, so why
Speaker 14: would I, you know, take a little spat day. Watch
Speaker 14: you I'm my throw a gym tonight and and sit back.
Speaker 5: When you talk about wanting to go back out there
Speaker 5: for the ninth inning, do you have any say? Did
Speaker 5: you have any chance to plead your case?
Speaker 14: I'd like to think I did not. You know, I
Speaker 14: think from a from a perspective of health and everything else,
Speaker 14: I've that was the first time ever going eight ups
Speaker 14: in my life, so I think from from that perspective,
Speaker 14: it was the right decision out of them. But like
Speaker 14: I said last night, I just kind of want to
Speaker 14: build off that and do it, do it more and
Speaker 14: more time, so that if we're in that situation again,
Speaker 14: it's there's no question, it's I'm going back out for
Speaker 14: the ninth inning and we'll see where we get from there. Hopefully,
Speaker 14: hopefully I can get that opportunity again. Obviously those outings
Speaker 14: are pretty hard to get to nowadays. But you know,
Speaker 14: obviously the goal is always to go as hard as
Speaker 14: you can as long as you can, and if that
Speaker 14: ends up being a complete game, that's that's even better.
Speaker 5: I'm not sure if you could share this with us now,
Speaker 5: but when you're facing a team that's struggling offensively as
Speaker 5: much as the Mets are, does that go into your
Speaker 5: game planning before the game, as far as attacking the
Speaker 5: strike zone to dare them to hit it.
Speaker 4: No, I personally don't.
Speaker 14: Really look at a lot of that stuff is because
Speaker 14: you know, all these guys are good hitters, and that's
Speaker 14: a really good team over there, especially against lefties. So
Speaker 14: I just kind of view it how they have hit
Speaker 14: left these over the past two years, year and a half,
Speaker 14: and that's kind of how I go into my game planning,
Speaker 14: is you know how how they are and what their
Speaker 14: tendencies are and kind of what kind of hitters they are.
Speaker 14: But at the end of the day, as a starter,
Speaker 14: it's it's less about a game plan and more about
Speaker 14: just kind of feeling the game as you go through it.
Speaker 14: And that's kind of something I've learned, you know, bouncing
Speaker 14: back and forth and doing all this, is that out
Speaker 14: of as a as a starter, you can kind of
Speaker 14: your game plan is more fluid than it is like
Speaker 14: setting like setting stones, So that's it's pretty cool. It's
Speaker 14: a lot of fun to face these really good lineups
Speaker 14: and yeah, just see how you can navigate them and
Speaker 14: just attack.
Speaker 5: Justin Robleski has a lot of swagger, a lot of
Speaker 5: confidence in himself. One of my favorite scenes when they
Speaker 5: panned into the dugout a few different times. You were
Speaker 5: stalking that dugout like a lion stalking its prey. What
Speaker 5: was going through your mind when you're stalking that dugout
Speaker 5: pacing up and down.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 14: Once we get the two outside, just getting the dug out,
Speaker 14: and I'm not gonna I can't sit down, Like well,
Speaker 14: I've already done my sitting down. So once it gets
Speaker 14: the two outside, go on the dugout and I'm that's.
Speaker 1: Just it's just me.
Speaker 14: It's just how I do it. It's just what happens.
Speaker 14: I don't really think about it or try to, but
Speaker 14: it's just kind of what happens that I'm just ready
Speaker 14: to go back out there and pitch.
Speaker 4: So that's this kind of me getting ready to go.
Speaker 5: Hey, love it. You just keep stacking those chips. The
Speaker 5: World Series last year and now what you did last night,
Speaker 5: Sky's limit for you. Thanks a lot for the time,
Speaker 5: and thank you for squeezing me in amongst all your
Speaker 5: new fans.
Speaker 14: Yeah, thanks da, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 1: There he goes.
Speaker 5: Justin Robleski has been our guest and he'll receive a
Speaker 5: gift card to Capitol Grill and Burbank and upscale relaxed
Speaker 5: spot with a great bar and great steaks. Great people,
Speaker 5: especially after you pitch eight scoreless sinnings in a game.

Speaker 3: Com slash us as we lead you up to first
Speaker 3: pitch Dodgers and Mettum. Next we'll break down this pitching match.
Speaker 3: But what a pitching matchup. It is two of the
Speaker 3: best arms in baseball going at it tonight, Dodgers and Mets.
Speaker 3: First pitch is seven ten. I'm Tim Kas' is the
Speaker 3: back to back world champion Dodgers Audio Nework.
Speaker 6: This is Morongo Cassino Dodgers Hunting Game.
Speaker 1: On your home for La Dodgers Baseball hits.
Speaker 3: The Dodgers and the Mets on this Tuesday night. Great
Speaker 3: pitching matchup from Uniclo Field at Dodger Stadium coming up
Speaker 3: at sevent ten.
Speaker 6: And now before the Dodgers hit the Dina, we look
Speaker 6: at the pitching matchup.
Speaker 4: Brought to you by here Toyota Dealers. We make it easy.
Speaker 3: Nolan McLain on the mound for the Mets, one and
Speaker 3: one with the two seventy ERA, twenty four year old
Speaker 3: right hander, third round pick of the Mets in twenty
Speaker 3: twenty three out of Oklahoma State. He was a two
Speaker 3: way player in college. Drafted as a two way player,
Speaker 3: but the Mets made him a pitcher only. He's been
Speaker 3: really good fastball, sinker, sweeper and a nasty curveball. Made
Speaker 3: his major League debut last year, pitched in eight games.
Speaker 3: He went five to one with the two h six
Speaker 3: ERA fifty seven strikeouts over forty eight innings. He represented
Speaker 3: Team USA in the World Baseball Classic. That's where you
Speaker 3: probably recognize the name Nolan McClain because he pitched in
Speaker 3: the WBC for Team USA. Making his fourth start this
Speaker 3: season last time out six and a third innings, two runs,
Speaker 3: three hits, eight strikeouts, and actually took a loss to
Speaker 3: the Arizona Diamondbacks. He's going up against Yoshinobu Yamamoto, two
Speaker 3: and one with a two p fifty era twenty seven
Speaker 3: year old right hander making his fourth start this year.
Speaker 3: Last time out six innings, one run, five hits, six
Speaker 3: strikeouts in a win over the Blue Jays last Tuesday
Speaker 3: in Toronto. He faced the Mets just once in the
Speaker 3: regular season. It was April of last year. He went
Speaker 3: six innings. He gave up four runs, three earned seven hits,
Speaker 3: including a home run, a walk, and struck out nine,
Speaker 3: but got no decision. This will be his first start
Speaker 3: against the Mets in the Dodger Stadium since the NLCS,
Speaker 3: so it's Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Nolan McClain the pitching matchup.
Speaker 3: The Dodgers come in first place in the nl West
Speaker 3: at twelve and four. There are two games up over
Speaker 3: the San Diego Padres, so don't look now. They're right
Speaker 3: on the dodgers heels, having won now five in a row. Meanwhile,
Speaker 3: in the New York Mets are struggling in the NL
Speaker 3: East seven to ten, last place in the division and
Speaker 3: they are riding a six game losing street. The Dodgers
Speaker 3: would like to make it seven. Coming up in just
Speaker 3: a couple of minutes.
Speaker 4: As we are.
Speaker 3: Fifteen minutes away from first pitch. Keys to the game
Speaker 3: are coming up next. I'm Tim Katson. This is the
Speaker 3: back to back World Series champion Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 6: This is Marongo Casino Dodgers on tack on your home
Speaker 6: for the Blue all season long.
Speaker 3: Lean you up to the Dodgers and New York Mets.
Speaker 3: Dodgers first place NL WES Mets, last place in the
Speaker 3: NL East. Dodgers looking to extend that losing streak for
Speaker 3: the New York Mets the seven straight games. Yoshinobu Yamamoto
Speaker 3: and Nolan McLain the pitching matchup two of the best
Speaker 3: right handed arms in all of baseball.
Speaker 4: So we get you ready for the start of the game.
Speaker 3: With a Sapporo Start A great Moments start with Sapporo Beer.
Speaker 3: Whatever your taste preference, Sapporo has you cover with a
Speaker 3: variety of crisp and refreshing loggers, including light and non
Speaker 3: alcoholic beers. Sapporo good with sushi, great with baseball. Before
Speaker 3: first pitch on this Tuesday night. Let's head back out
Speaker 3: to the booth the final check in with the two
Speaker 3: guys on the call tonight, Stephen Nelson and Rick Monday.
Speaker 2: Guys, all right, tim first pitch from Yoshinobu Yamamoto is
Speaker 2: coming up in a little bit here at Dodgers Stadium
Speaker 2: against Nolan McLean. He is a ridiculously talented young right hander,
Speaker 2: same alma mater as last night's Dodger starter, Justin Robleski
Speaker 2: MacLean from Oklahoma State University. And this is a guy
Speaker 2: Moe who can spin the heck out of the baseball.
Speaker 2: So give me a Keith tonight for the Dodgers.
Speaker 9: Well, the key tonight is don't give up on the
Speaker 9: breaking balls too soon. I say that because of the
Speaker 9: spin rate and the amount of break that the pitches have.
Speaker 9: Don't give up too soon. If you're the hitter. How
Speaker 9: about these numbers. Lefties have hitched just one fourteen, right
Speaker 9: handers have hitched just one eighty two. He's allowed just
Speaker 9: one home run so far. But here's the deal. On
Speaker 9: the sweeping breaking bolt, it's breaking over twenty one inches
Speaker 9: Laterally on the sinker, it is dipping down seventeen and
Speaker 9: a half inches on top of it. So you're getting
Speaker 9: a lot of movement, and I think for a guy
Speaker 9: that throws the movement, will the Dodgers maybe move up
Speaker 9: a little bit more in the batter's box and when
Speaker 9: they think about going up the middle more often, I.
Speaker 2: Mean, just to put it into context him as to
Speaker 2: get it back to you, twenty one inches of glove
Speaker 2: side break on the sweeper and then about eighteen inches
Speaker 2: of armside run on the sinker. That's a thirty nine
Speaker 2: inch difference from one side to the other. That has
Speaker 2: to be nightmares for hitters. Hopefully the Dodgers can take
Speaker 2: it to Nolan McClain here in Game two of the series,
Speaker 2: which gets under way shortly.
Speaker 3: All right, first pitch right around the corner. Dodgers looking
Speaker 3: to keep the winning going, win the series with a
Speaker 3: win tonight, wrap up this homestand tomorrow on Jackie Robinson Day,
Speaker 3: and then a day off before a four game wrap
Speaker 3: around series in Colorado beginning on Friday. Don't forget David
Speaker 3: Beastie's got your cover with all the postgame highlights, reaction
Speaker 3: from the clubhouse, the manager Dave Roberts. Then, of course
Speaker 3: Dodger Talk as well. That's coming up after this one
Speaker 3: great pitching matchup coming up Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Nolan McClain dueling
Speaker 3: it out, Dodgers and Metsen.
Speaker 4: Joining everybody.
Speaker 3: I'm Tim Kates and this is the back to back
