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 2: The only reason the Dodgers are doing this because they
Speaker 2: can't they printing 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 3: You asked, Well, he was scratched a few hours ago,
Speaker 3: and about thirty minutes ago, the Dodgers announced that Blake
Speaker 3: Snell is going back on the injured list with bodies
Speaker 3: in his left throwing elbow. More on that throughout the hour.
Speaker 3: As we lead you up to first pitch. Coming up,
Speaker 3: we're gonna hear from the manager, Dave Roberts. We'll get
Speaker 3: the very latest from the Dodgers skipper on Blake Snell.
Speaker 3: What this means for the rotation, How long will Blake
Speaker 3: Snell be out? Does this mean surgery? All those questions
Speaker 3: we hope to get answers from the manager. Coming up
Speaker 3: in about twenty minutes, we'll dive deeper in his pitching
Speaker 3: matchup as the Dodgers now go with a bullpen game,
Speaker 3: David Vas say, we'll join us throughout the hour. He'll
Speaker 3: go one on one with Dalton Rushing. We got your
Speaker 3: Dodgers magical moment. We will check it with Charlie Steiner
Speaker 3: coming up in thirty minutes, and of course it will
Speaker 3: head out to the Galloping Ford broadcast be with with
Speaker 3: Tim Neverdaan and Rick Monday in just.
Speaker 5: A few minutes.
Speaker 3: Well, last night out at the Revine, Emmett Shean was
Speaker 3: exactly what the Dodgers needed gave him six inning. He's
Speaker 3: allowed two runs on two hits while striking out six
Speaker 3: along the way behind him, a lineup that didn't look
Speaker 3: like the usual Dodgers lineup. No Mookie Bets, no show
Speaker 3: Hey Otani both. At the night off, the Dodgers went
Speaker 3: with Will Smith as the leadoff batter. He was your
Speaker 3: designated here last night, and Will Smith delivered right away.
Speaker 2: Also, keep an eye out for the sinker and the changeup.
Speaker 2: Throws one here and Will hits it high and deep
Speaker 2: tour in right center field.
Speaker 1: It's caring, it is back to the wall. It is
Speaker 1: over the wall.
Speaker 2: A home run for Will Smith, the first time he's
Speaker 2: ever let off a major league game. He leads it
Speaker 2: off with a home run and the Dodgers lead it
Speaker 2: one nothing.
Speaker 1: Oh how do you like that? Well?
Speaker 6: Do you think Will is saying, geez, hitting this leadoff
Speaker 6: spot is really easy?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: It made it look easy with that solo home run,
Speaker 3: his fourth of the year, first home run since April
Speaker 3: twenty fourth. In just like that, the Dodgers a one
Speaker 3: nothing lead. Then in the second heis on Kim in
Speaker 3: RBI single mid the Dodgers a two to nothing in
Speaker 3: the lead. Image She and didn't give up his first
Speaker 3: hit until the fourth inning and Rafield devers bloop single
Speaker 3: to left. Then in the fifth inning, a one out
Speaker 3: walk two batters later, Hung You Hung Jung Hu lead
Speaker 3: with a two run inside the park home run on
Speaker 3: a ball that just dropped fair down the left field line,
Speaker 3: got past Teoscar Hernandez and all around the basis went
Speaker 3: Lee to score two runs and tie the game at two.
Speaker 5: Image she would go the six innings.
Speaker 3: In the bottom of the six a little two out
Speaker 3: magic from the Dodgers thanks to the pinch hit or
Speaker 3: Alex call.
Speaker 2: It's from Gage and Carl loops into the right field.
Speaker 2: That's a base hit. Here comes Monthly into score, rounding thirds.
Speaker 2: Taoscar throw to the plate too late, he slides in
Speaker 2: safely down the second and safe.
Speaker 1: At second his call.
Speaker 2: Dodgers lead at four to two.
Speaker 3: Alex Call answered the call from the bench with a
Speaker 3: pinch hit, two out, two run single as the Dodgers
Speaker 3: took a four to two lead. Then Miguel Rojas a
Speaker 3: ten pitch at bat with two outs.
Speaker 5: On the tenth pitch, he delivered.
Speaker 2: Three two is looked at the center field. That's a
Speaker 2: base hit. Paul touches third. He is speeding hold he
Speaker 2: will score standing up. It's a two on RBI single
Speaker 2: from the gall Rojas and the Dodgers lead at five
Speaker 2: to two.
Speaker 6: Man. It's the bottom part of the order tonight that
Speaker 6: has produced the runs other than the leadoff home run
Speaker 6: by Will Smith.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the bottom of the lineup delivering Kim Call Rojas
Speaker 3: four hits for RBI. Immachine went the six innings, turned
Speaker 3: it over to the bullpen, who was fantastic and Gardo
Speaker 3: Nriquez a shutout seventh Inny. Alex Vessi put up a
Speaker 3: zero in the eighth, and then ten Or Scott, who
Speaker 3: has been really good this year, a one two three ninth,
Speaker 3: including two punch outs. He gets to save his third
Speaker 3: of the season. Imacheen gets to win his third of
Speaker 3: the season. Dodgers get the win, five to two over
Speaker 3: the Giant. They've now won two in a row. They're
Speaker 3: twenty six and eighteen, and they are sitting atop the
Speaker 3: NL West going into play tonight, a half game above
Speaker 3: the San Diego Padres.
Speaker 5: Blake Snell was scheduled to get the start.
Speaker 3: He is going on the IL with loose bodies in
Speaker 3: his left elbow. I remember he pitched on Saturday, three innings,
Speaker 3: seventy seven pitches in his first start of the year.
Speaker 3: But back to the il goes Snell Zilla Will Klein
Speaker 3: will get the start as the opener. First pitch is
Speaker 3: six thirty eight, and with more we head out to
Speaker 3: the galloping Ford Broadcast booth as we say hello to
Speaker 3: Tim Neverd and Rick Monday.
Speaker 5: Guys, Tim, thank you very much.
Speaker 2: Gorgeous night here in Anaheim as the Angels host the
Speaker 2: Dodgers in Game one of the Freeways Series. Dodgers twenty
Speaker 2: six and eighteen. They've lost nine of the last fifteen,
Speaker 2: scoring only three and a half runs per game during
Speaker 2: that period of time. But anytime's a good time like
Speaker 2: tonight to get out of that drought against the Angels,
Speaker 2: who have the worst record in Major League Baseball sixteen
Speaker 2: and twenty eight, and they're coming off a three game
Speaker 2: sweep by Cleveland. The Guardians up to him in three
Speaker 2: Angels were off yesterday, lying in wait. The big story today, though,
Speaker 2: has to do with pitching and Blake Snell loose bodies
Speaker 2: in his left elbow. Looks like he's going to be
Speaker 2: out for quite some time.
Speaker 6: Well, It took everyone by surprise, found out today was
Speaker 6: scheduled to pitch tonight, but found out a little after
Speaker 6: noon today that that was not going to be the case.
Speaker 6: Interesting we start to look, you know, Snell pitched on Saturday,
Speaker 6: and that was on Blake Snell bobblehead night. By the way,
Speaker 6: they were hoping seventy five pitches and maybe five innings.
Speaker 6: Well they got seventy seven pitches, but only three innings
Speaker 6: of work and gave up five runs on six hits
Speaker 6: in that ballgame. Also a couple of stolen bases against him.
Speaker 6: But you know, just kind of meandering around different conversations.
Speaker 6: He supposedly felt good a couple of days ago, but
Speaker 6: you know, loose bodies. It's a nice way of saying,
Speaker 6: maybe bone chips in the elbows, that something is going
Speaker 6: to be addressed. It may take a while, whatever it is,
Speaker 6: but that I just have to rebound as a game
Speaker 6: that starts in just a few minutes here.
Speaker 2: Dave Robert It said that they, of course, the staff
Speaker 2: in the front office have been talking about Snelling in
Speaker 2: his situation. They don't know if it's a surgical procedure
Speaker 2: yet or not. As we talk right now, but either
Speaker 2: way they are confident that he will be back at
Speaker 2: some point this season, which indicates that he could be
Speaker 2: out for a while. You look at the lineup tonight,
Speaker 2: Freddy Freeman not in there. This is just a night off,
Speaker 2: Dodgers giving him a break every now and then. I
Speaker 2: guess now that we live in the era of load management.
Speaker 2: It affects the lineup here with the Dodgers.
Speaker 6: And really nothing new. Dave Roberts actually addressed this as
Speaker 6: recently as yesterday when asked about it, I said, look,
Speaker 6: we're going to talk with Freddy, and yes, Freddy, if
Speaker 6: you look at the person tivot, none of us are
Speaker 6: getting any younger, and for Freeman a chance at least
Speaker 6: at the beginning of the game. Of course, Roberts had
Speaker 6: a pretty good bench to go to yesterday if needed,
Speaker 6: you had show Hey, Tony, Mookie Betz and Max Munsey,
Speaker 6: none of whom had to be called upon. And hopefully
Speaker 6: tonight it'll be Freddie Freeman get the entire night off
Speaker 6: and maybe they will not need him.
Speaker 2: So with the scratch of Blake Snell, Will Klein, it's tag,
Speaker 2: You're it and Will we'll get the start here tonight.
Speaker 2: A few innings out of will they're expecting, certainly, and
Speaker 2: then a bullpen game. Jack Kohanowitz two and two for
Speaker 2: the Angels will get the start. The Angels getting catcher
Speaker 2: Logan o' hoppy back tonight. He'd been out with a
Speaker 2: wrist injury, so he comes off the injury list tonight
Speaker 2: for the Angels. Angels and Dodgers, Game one of the
Speaker 2: Freeway series from Anahei coming up. Tim.
Speaker 3: All right, thank you guys, as we count you down
Speaker 3: to first pitch on this Friday night, Dodger fans starting
Speaker 3: getting a little hungry, getting little hungry in the studio here.
Speaker 3: How about get your game day meal on at Shaky's
Speaker 3: Pizza parlor. You get order that Shaky's Pizza Shaken Mojo's
Speaker 3: right now at Shaky's dot com. All right, we're off
Speaker 3: and running here. I'm ronggo Casino. Dodgers on deck coming up.
Speaker 3: You're gonna hear from the manager, Dave Roberts. Got a
Speaker 3: lot to hear from from the Dodger skipper, especially on
Speaker 3: this Blake Snell elbow injury. What is the latest, David?
Speaker 3: I say, we'll check him throughout the hour. He goes
Speaker 3: one on one with Dalton rushing. We'll break down this
Speaker 3: pitchy matchup which is now a bullpen game for the Dodgers.
Speaker 3: But up next we'll get your Otani rewind and we'll
Speaker 3: hear from Will Smith, who delivered last night as the
Speaker 3: dh should lead you up to Dodgers and Angels from
Speaker 3: the Big A in Anaheim. Thanks for being with us
Speaker 3: on this Friday night. I'm Tim kase As the back
Speaker 3: to back World Series champion Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 1: This is Morongo Casino Dodgers Hunters game on your home
Speaker 1: for La Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 3: It's the Dodgers and the Angels on this Friday night.
Speaker 3: Is the Freeway Series gets under away from the Big
Speaker 3: A and Anaheim. Blake Snell was scheduled to get the start,
Speaker 3: but he has been scratched going to the IL with
Speaker 3: bodies in his left throwing elbow. Will Klein will be
Speaker 3: the opener tonight against Jack o'hannowitch first pitch from the
Speaker 3: Big A coming up at six point thirty eight. The
Speaker 3: Dodgers bullpen has done a lot of covering for Dodgers
Speaker 3: starters this last week, and tonight they're gonna have to
Speaker 3: cover twenty seven outs, all nine innings going into tonight.
Speaker 3: In the last seven games, the Dodgers bullpen twenty two
Speaker 3: and a third innings a combined three sixty three r
Speaker 3: with twenty one strikeouts and eleven walks. Last night, the
Speaker 3: Dodgers bullpen had three guys come through the gate at
Speaker 3: Guardo Enriquez, Alex Vesia, and Tanner Scott pitching the seventh,
Speaker 3: eighth and ninth inning Image She and six innings, two runs,
Speaker 3: two hits. Dodgers got the five to two win, and
Speaker 3: a big reason why was the offense jumping out to
Speaker 3: an early lead on Landin Roupe thanks to Will Smith
Speaker 3: and his solo home run to lead off the bottom
Speaker 3: of the first and afterwards caught up with their own
Speaker 3: David Vesse, all.
Speaker 4: Right, well, you said it was just another at bat,
Speaker 4: first game, leading off, and you really stole the thunder
Speaker 4: there hitting a home run. How did that feel good?
Speaker 5: Felt good?
Speaker 7: Just trying to be like show leading off with a homer.
Speaker 7: But yeah, just another anb and.
Speaker 4: You're up there in that situation, you have no chance
Speaker 4: to see what Roupe has. You're the first guy to
Speaker 4: face him. How does that change as far as the
Speaker 4: way you're going about the at bat.
Speaker 7: I didn't honestly, you know, it's just another you know,
Speaker 7: leading off the inning base because just leading off the game,
Speaker 7: you know, we know what pitches he's got, we know
Speaker 7: what works for on what he's trying to do out there.
Speaker 7: So yeah, I just put together good at bat, picking
Speaker 7: the right fishes, swings that, and keeping the bound the ball.
Speaker 4: The biggest thing is, you guys have been playing from
Speaker 4: behind a lot lately. To even get a one nothing lead,
Speaker 4: how big was that to change kind of the vibe
Speaker 4: in the dugout and give Emmett even one run to
Speaker 4: work with.
Speaker 7: Yeah, he fished so well tonight. But yeah, yeah, I
Speaker 7: just jump out ahead. I feel like we're calling back.
Speaker 7: They did a good job tyd it up, but we
Speaker 7: were able to respond right away and get the win.
Speaker 4: Do you feel like Day's going to keep you in
Speaker 4: the leadoff spot tomorrow night?
Speaker 5: In Anaheim? I have no idea. We'll see, hey, when
Speaker 5: you're the DH too.
Speaker 4: You have time for antics like putting gum in yamamudo
Speaker 4: sudi too.
Speaker 7: I got eight in there, Yeah, exactly, he has no idea.
Speaker 4: Thanks for stopping congratulations things there, he goes, Hey, Will Smith,
Speaker 4: I like the free and easy dh leadoff hitter.

Speaker 4: Any questions for Dave?
Speaker 1: Dave? Can you just describe Dave?
Speaker 5: Can you talk about the pressure in the.
Speaker 1: Dugouts with Dave Roberts?
Speaker 4: Dave, when did you realize that Blake was not going
Speaker 4: to be able to make this start and that he
Speaker 4: was having issues with his left elbow?
Speaker 8: Found out about it yesterday during his CATX play playing
Speaker 8: catch fill a bullpen a few days ago, I think,
Speaker 8: and then during his catch play just felt something in
Speaker 8: the back of his elbow and just couldn't continue.
Speaker 4: You've had another picture Edwin Diaz have something similar. He
Speaker 4: underwent to remove those loose bodies. Will Blake have to
Speaker 4: do the same?
Speaker 8: Well, I think right now anything's on the table. We're
Speaker 8: still trying to uh because obviously we have the tests
Speaker 8: to determine that there were loose bodies, and so we're
Speaker 8: kind of talking through potential, you know, what's next. I
Speaker 8: think at the end of the day, we feel confident
Speaker 8: that he's going to be back with us this year
Speaker 8: either path, but I think right now, no definitive you know,
Speaker 8: process has been made, decisions when.
Speaker 9: Made yet what a non rout a non surgical route
Speaker 9: would probably be some type of you know, rest cor
Speaker 9: zone shot, some type of to try to the inflammation
Speaker 9: down or whatever kind of thing like that, and you know,
Speaker 9: wait a little bit to see how it responds.
Speaker 8: What's that, you know what I think he's been he
Speaker 8: is disappointed. I haven't personally talked to him. The front
Speaker 8: office has chat with him, A couple of coaches have
Speaker 8: chatted with him. I haven't talked to him. So I'm
Speaker 8: I'm going to reach out to him today.
Speaker 10: Though a couple of months or two at least, probably
Speaker 10: be like a couple of months at least.
Speaker 8: Well that that's depending on how you which path we took.
Speaker 5: All right, there's the manager, Dave Roberts.
Speaker 3: So still don't know the severity of the elbow chips
Speaker 3: that are floating around in there those bodies. Hopefully it
Speaker 3: is on the shorter time as far as the recovery
Speaker 3: is concerned. All right, good to hear from the Dodger manager.
Speaker 3: A little clarity there from the skipper. Well we continue here.
Speaker 3: I'm wrong with Casino Dodgers on deck. We'll check out
Speaker 3: with David Vase, so leads you up to first pitch
Speaker 3: from the Big A and Anaheim. It's the Freeway Series,
Speaker 3: Dodgers and Angels. I'm Tim Katson. This is the back
Speaker 3: to back World Series champion Dodgers on you know what.
Speaker 1: As we were saying, this is Marongo Casino Dodgers on
Speaker 1: deach on the official home of La Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 3: It's the Dodgers and Angels on this Friday night, first
Speaker 3: game of the Freeways Series. Blake Snell scratch Dodgers going
Speaker 3: with the opener and we'll climb Jack o'hanawyz. We'll go
Speaker 3: for the Halos. First pitch coming up at six thirty eight.
Speaker 3: Dodgers Baseball is brought to you by Al Pato, born
Speaker 3: in La and made for your game day. El Pato
Speaker 3: brings an authentic Mexican style tomato, sauce, salsa and all
Speaker 3: the hot sauces right to your table.
Speaker 5: El Pato Gourmet in a.
Speaker 1: Can joining Tim Kats on Dodgers on deck.
Speaker 4: I accept everybody for who they are.
Speaker 1: This is Dodger insider David Basse.
Speaker 3: And David now joins us from the Big A and Anaheim.
Speaker 3: Freddie Freeman not in the lineup. David, what's going on.
Speaker 5: And not happy about it?
Speaker 4: Him hoony Freeman does not want days off, But the
Speaker 4: Dodgers felt like they have to manage Freddy. They're in
Speaker 4: the middle of thirteen in a row. They got six
Speaker 4: more games to go before they end this trip, and
Speaker 4: also are in this stretch before they get a day off,
Speaker 4: which is this coming Thursday, as they will travel to
Speaker 4: Milwaukee from San Diego. So look, Freddy's thirty six years old.
Speaker 4: He's played seventeen years. Every single day, Let's not forget.
Speaker 4: He's played more games than any other first baseman the
Speaker 4: last two years on three different continents or two different continents,
Speaker 4: three different countries in South Korea, in Tokyo, Japan, and
Speaker 4: obviously the World Series each of the last two years.
Speaker 4: So the Dodgers have got to manage him, and whether
Speaker 4: or not he likes it, he needs to be managed.
Speaker 4: And that's part of being a manager doing things that
Speaker 4: sometimes players don't like for the betterment of their long
Speaker 4: term health. And the Dodgers need Freddy Freeman. They don't
Speaker 4: just need him in May, they need him in October obviously,
Speaker 4: So Dave Roberts doing what he believes he needs to
Speaker 4: do to keep Freddy fresh, especially during these stretches of
Speaker 4: playing thirteen in a row.
Speaker 3: David is brought to you by the Ford Maverick Motor
Speaker 3: trends to North American Truck of the Year, the Ford
Speaker 3: Maverick Everything you need in the most innovative truck with
Speaker 3: forty two miles per gallon of the best MSRP. If
Speaker 3: it's category, it's time to see Ford in a new light.
Speaker 3: Go to your Southern California Ford Dealers today. Now that
Speaker 3: it's a bullpen game tonight. Last night we had three
Speaker 3: relievers come in after the great performance last night from Himachian.
Speaker 3: So the bullpen, I guess is rested. But game one
Speaker 3: of a nine game road trip.
Speaker 5: How does this affect the bullpen.
Speaker 4: Yeah, going back to Justin Robleski's start, even though he
Speaker 4: gave up seven runs, he went the distance against the Braves,
Speaker 4: I would say the Dodger bullpen is in a better
Speaker 4: spot to handle this type of bullpen game than it
Speaker 4: was even as recently as last week. So we'll kleinb
Speaker 4: We'll be the opener and the Dodgers will empty out
Speaker 4: the bullets there and figure out a way to get
Speaker 4: through nine innings tonight. The good news is the Angels
Speaker 4: are not one of the good teams in baseball. So
Speaker 4: I guess if there's a silver lining and you had
Speaker 4: to have an emergency bullpen game, this would be the team.
Speaker 5: To have it against, no doubt.
Speaker 3: All Right, Dave, time out to pick the Dodger Derby,
Speaker 3: brought to you by Santa Anita Park. As we pick
Speaker 3: head to head during the racing season out of Santa Anita,

Speaker 3: Blake Snell scratch goes to the injured list with bodies
Speaker 3: in his left throwing elbow. It'll be a bullpen game.
Speaker 3: We'll climb, We'll get the start for the Dodgers. It's
Speaker 3: time down for the prison startup as we are thirty
Speaker 3: three minutes away from the start of the game. Now, Verizon,
Speaker 3: you can lock in your low price for three years. Yeah,
Speaker 3: that's easy. You can say big by doing it. Visit
Speaker 3: the so Cal Verizon store today. We say hello to
Speaker 3: Charlie Steiner.
Speaker 10: All right, Tim and his rivalry Weekend as the Dodgers
Speaker 10: begin the first of a three game series with the
Speaker 10: Angels down in Anaheim. After Anaheim is onto San Diego
Speaker 10: for three and three more with Milwaukee. So this is
Speaker 10: rivalry weekend. Are the Dodgers and the Angels.
Speaker 4: Really a rivalry?
Speaker 10: I asked, because since two thousand and fifteen, the Dodgers
Speaker 10: have won one thousand and sixty two games and lost
Speaker 10: six hundred and sixty three. The Angels have won seven
Speaker 10: hundred and ninety one and lost nine hundred and thirty three.
Speaker 10: The Dodgers winning percentage six sixteen. The Angels winning percentage
Speaker 10: is four fifty nine, or two hundred and seventy one
Speaker 10: games behind the Dodgers. So I ask you, doctor Monday,
Speaker 10: is this a rivalry?
Speaker 6: I think the Angels would love for it to be
Speaker 6: a rivalry. No, it's it's just a game and the
Speaker 6: series that's scheduled for the Dodgers. But they still have
Speaker 6: to play much better than they have, Charlie, doesn't matter
Speaker 6: who they're benched up against. They have not played particularly
Speaker 6: well in back to back games. The last home stand
Speaker 6: proves at the last road trip, unfortunately, raises some questions
Speaker 6: about this Dodger ball club not that they can't win,
Speaker 6: not that they can't turn around. At least from the
Speaker 6: standpoint is that when are they going to get it going?
Speaker 6: And not only is there a change in the starting
Speaker 6: pitcher that we found out earlier today with Blake Snell
Speaker 6: being canceled from his start today, it's also a sit
Speaker 6: down day for Freddie Freeman. You know, a couple of
Speaker 6: days ago, Dave Roberts was eluding the fact. Look he
Speaker 6: was going to talk to him, to Freddy and say, hey, look,
Speaker 6: there may be some times here and there that the
Speaker 6: opportunity presents himself. Let's just sit down, at least at
Speaker 6: the beginning of the game.
Speaker 10: We ain't getting any younger, none of us. So the
Speaker 10: Dodgers begin play tonight in first place in the West,
Speaker 10: a half a game in front of the Padres. They're
Speaker 10: up in Seattle, the Dodgers coming off a three and
Speaker 10: four homestand twenty six and eighteen on the year. And
Speaker 10: then there are the Angels at sixteen and twenty eight,
Speaker 10: six and a half behind the Athletics in the American
Speaker 10: League West, is the worst record in Major League Baseball,
Speaker 10: and they have lost seventeen of their last twenty two
Speaker 10: and they've earned it. Their team batting average two thirty
Speaker 10: two ranks twenty fifth. ERA four fifty five ranks twenty fifth.
Speaker 10: As the offense goes, they have struck out four hundred
Speaker 10: and thirty two times and that's first. Now back to
Speaker 10: the Dodgers and back to Otani, who's back in the
Speaker 10: lineup tonight.
Speaker 6: He will be the dh BO. Yeah, he's going to
Speaker 6: be the DH back in the leadoff spot. As you're mentioning, Bets,
Speaker 6: will bat second. Will Smith, who for the first time
Speaker 6: in his career, batted in the leadop position in last
Speaker 6: night's Bowl game, and by the way, he homered after
Speaker 6: being down zero to two. He homered in his very
Speaker 6: first at BET as a leadoff hitter. So he's hitting third.
Speaker 6: Kyle Tucker will move up for the four spot, so
Speaker 6: it's going to be interesting to see what happens Freeman.
Speaker 6: He's available. Don't know if you'll see action in the
Speaker 6: today's game, but it's going to be Dalton Rushing who
Speaker 6: will be at first base tonight for this Dodger ball club.
Speaker 10: Rushing got off to the great start heading three eighty
Speaker 10: five through April to twenty seventh, but since then, last
Speaker 10: nine games hitting a buck forty eight. The bat of
Speaker 10: Pa has has begun to slow down a little bit,
Speaker 10: but Bets is back in the lineup. And as you mentioned,
Speaker 10: Will Smith, first time you ever hit laid off first
Speaker 10: at bat. He hit one out last night.
Speaker 6: And Tiascar Hernandez with three hits in last night's Bawl game,
Speaker 6: a couple of them doubles. He's beginning to swing the
Speaker 6: bat much better. He's still batting the seventh spot tonight,
Speaker 6: rushing him about eighth, and it has sunk him as
Speaker 6: at the second base position, and he'll bat in the
Speaker 6: nine position. But you know, this is the three city trip,
Speaker 6: as you were mentioning here, then down to San Diego
Speaker 6: that's going to be interesting on top of it. And
Speaker 6: then the Milwaukee Brewers. The Brewers a team that they're
Speaker 6: trying to find out exactly which direction they're going in
Speaker 6: right now. You know, they get a hot streak and
Speaker 6: then they get a cold streak. We'll find out, but
Speaker 6: that's a week away from tonight. The Dodgers lost all.
Speaker 10: Six games against the Angels last year, but there were
Speaker 10: nine and four against the Padres, and then the Dodgers
Speaker 10: were zero and six against Milwaukee during the regular season
Speaker 10: last year, but four and zero in the postseason, soh
Speaker 10: you throw all that stuff out as we get ready
Speaker 10: for the first of this nine game road trip three
Speaker 10: and nine a him, three in San Diego and then
Speaker 10: three in Milwaukee before heading back home. The Dodgers and
Speaker 10: the Angels, the first of three coming up.
Speaker 5: All right, thank you, Charlie.

Speaker 3: When it's game night, it's group night and shakys dot Com.
Speaker 1: David and now what will likely be vasse fielding insults
Speaker 1: from a Dodger player.
Speaker 5: It's an engagement of endearment.
Speaker 1: This is high and tight.
Speaker 4: We're hearing my guy, Dalton Rushing, who's starting at first
Speaker 4: base today after catching for the Dodgers last night. What's
Speaker 4: it like on Well, First of all, I gotta say
Speaker 4: thank you for the time. How rude of me?
Speaker 11: No, it's not rude of your bass. You know I'm
Speaker 11: always here for you.
Speaker 4: Yes, thank you. I appreciate it, Anaheim and the Big A.
Speaker 4: What's the smallpark like for you coming here knowing how
Speaker 4: many great players that played here before?
Speaker 11: Yeah, it's sweet. I got to play here last year. Obviously,
Speaker 11: you have trouts in the lineup today and guys throughout
Speaker 11: the years. It's cool to play against these guys each
Speaker 11: and every year. Hopefully we can take something from them
Speaker 11: this year like we didn't last year.
Speaker 4: I wasn't gonna bring up they beat you all six
Speaker 4: times last year.
Speaker 11: Yeah, it's fine, it's we won a World Series. We
Speaker 11: got our end goal. But now we need to take
Speaker 11: care of business this year.
Speaker 1: For sure.
Speaker 4: I know you're a young player, but can you feel
Speaker 4: it too. Other teams are bringing a lot more energy.
Speaker 4: They're bringing their best shot at you guys this year.
Speaker 11: Yeah. I think it's kind of what you sign up
Speaker 11: for with things we do off season moves, free agent signings,
Speaker 11: all these things you sign up for every team to
Speaker 11: treat it like their World Series. And anytime a team
Speaker 11: can come in and take two out of three from
Speaker 11: the Dodgers, they're gonna take it and run with it.
Speaker 11: You know, we have to say pride in that we
Speaker 11: need to understand the importance of every game. We need
Speaker 11: to understand the importance of every win. That even this
Speaker 11: early in the season, I think we're getting on the
Speaker 11: track to play really good baseball in the next six, ten, fifteen,
Speaker 11: twenty games, however many it is. But I think the
Speaker 11: team's in a really good spot. The arms of really well,
Speaker 11: the starting pitching has been really good. It's all starting
Speaker 11: to come together, and I think it's a good thing
Speaker 11: for us.
Speaker 4: Were you able to avoid the sickness that was going
Speaker 4: through the clubhouse, because it feels like that did take
Speaker 4: a while for all of you to get over.
Speaker 11: I was patient zero, So yeah, I was patient zero
Speaker 11: back in Toronto, and yeah, that was tough. I guess
Speaker 11: you could say sickness weekend for me. I was all
Speaker 11: over the place. And I guess physically I played really
Speaker 11: well being sick, So maybe I need to get sick
Speaker 11: more often, you know. But yeah, no, I was patient zero.
Speaker 11: So I hate that I brought that upon all the boys,
Speaker 11: But I'm glad we're all kind of past that.
Speaker 9: Now.
Speaker 4: You're playing first base tonight. What's it like to transition
Speaker 4: from behind the plate to first base? Obviously the footwork,
Speaker 4: but just the mental part of the game. Do you
Speaker 4: see the game the same way at first base as
Speaker 4: you would when you're behind the plate. Are you trying
Speaker 4: to play along with Will and the bullpen tonight?
Speaker 11: The game in itself? I would say it's a little different.
Speaker 11: You're not managing pitch to pitch, you're not thinking three
Speaker 11: innings ahead of time. You're really just owning the moment,
Speaker 11: owning what's in front of you. First base To me,
Speaker 11: I played there a lot in college. I played there
Speaker 11: a little bit through the miners coming up, so it's
Speaker 11: not like completely foreign to me. I feel comfortable over there.
Speaker 11: I got a lot of early working today and just
Speaker 11: to make sure I'm already for the game tonight. But no,
Speaker 11: I'm not gonna think with well, I'm gonna leave that
Speaker 11: up to Will. I'm gonna let him do his thing.
Speaker 11: I do my thing when I'm back there, and we
Speaker 11: kind of we kind of have the same end goal
Speaker 11: every single night that we're back there behind the plate.
Speaker 11: We call the best pitches and win the baseball game.
Speaker 4: That's a you know, I'm a man of the people, right,
Speaker 4: so I touched the people, the fans, and the fans
Speaker 4: love your care factor, how high it is. What's the
Speaker 4: balance for you as far as caring as much as
Speaker 4: you do but also keeping your emotions and check.
Speaker 11: Yeah, I think it's for me. It's a maturity thing
Speaker 11: that I really want to fix. By no means do
Speaker 11: I ever want to stop playing with passion and love,
Speaker 11: embracing and showing how much that I care about this game,
Speaker 11: how much I love to win. But at the same time,
Speaker 11: there's there's always a maturity piece to it, and I
Speaker 11: think there's been immaturity in the past, there's been immaturity
Speaker 11: in the present as of recently, and that's something I
Speaker 11: have to fix. I have to grow on as a.
Speaker 4: Player I loved and stretch where Tao's giving you a
Speaker 4: big brother headlock, Mookie Betts is talking to you. How
Speaker 4: much have those guys help you grow and understand the
Speaker 4: game and understand, you know, just their process.
Speaker 11: It's all the older guys on this team. You know, veteran,
Speaker 11: We have veteran after veteran. They all care and I
Speaker 11: think to me that means more than anything. They see potential,
Speaker 11: they see what I can do over the stretch of
Speaker 11: ten fifteen years in this game, and I think they're
Speaker 11: just looking out for my best interests. They want me
Speaker 11: to be a player that's known in this league for
Speaker 11: however long that I play and respected in this league
Speaker 11: for that same amount of time. So yeah, it's it's
Speaker 11: just them being good teammates. Wre We're surrounded by great
Speaker 11: guys in this clubhouse. Each and every person cares about
Speaker 11: everyone else, and yeah, to have those guys obviously have
Speaker 11: my back through dups, the down, the good, the bad
Speaker 11: and the social media world, the on field world. You know,
Speaker 11: it means a lotay, well, he really does.
Speaker 4: I think that goes to your character and who you
Speaker 4: are as a person for them to care as much
Speaker 4: about you as they do about themselves. So that's a
Speaker 4: testament to Dalton Rushing.
Speaker 11: Absolutely.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I know.
Speaker 11: I make sure these guys know that I love them.
Speaker 11: I do anything for them. Sometimes I don't do the
Speaker 11: same for the opposing team, but I plan to in
Speaker 11: the future, and obviously I want to get everything past me.
Speaker 4: Hey, it's competition, right. Everybody wants you to be friends
Speaker 4: until they don't want you to be friends. So thank
Speaker 4: you for the time. I'll handle everything from here.
Speaker 11: I appreciate you.
Speaker 8: Mas.
Speaker 11: She always have my back there.
Speaker 4: He is the man, Dalton Rushing. He's at first base
Speaker 4: tonight and he certainly is going to have a huge
Speaker 4: care factor.
Speaker 3: No doubt about Adulton Rushing looking to have a big
Speaker 3: night tonight at first base. As we leads up to
Speaker 3: first pitch Dodgers and Angels first pitch coming up at
Speaker 3: six thirty eight, don't forget we're gonna get you this.
Speaker 3: Keys to the game coming up and up natural dive
Speaker 3: deeper to this pitching matchup.

Speaker 3: Jackohonowitz on the mound for the Angels, twenty five year
Speaker 3: old right hander, third season in the Big.
Speaker 5: Leagues, making his ninth start last time out.
Speaker 3: Four innings, allowed seven runs on night hits and a
Speaker 3: loss to Toronto. He has pitched to a one fifty
Speaker 3: three ERA and three home starts this season. Hasn't been
Speaker 3: so good on the road, seeking his first winning decision
Speaker 3: since April tenth and Cincinnati, but has allowed three or
Speaker 3: fewer runs and four of his last five starts.
Speaker 5: His last outing.
Speaker 3: Well, he well pitched well against Toronto, but did not
Speaker 3: factor in getting a win.
Speaker 5: He earned his only win and his only.
Speaker 3: Start against the Dodgers May sixteenth, last year, almost a
Speaker 3: year to the date, against the Dodgers, he went six
Speaker 3: to two third innings. He gave up one run on
Speaker 3: five hits while striking out five. Will Kleinb we'll get
Speaker 3: the start as the opener for the Dodgers one and
Speaker 3: two with the two seventy six era.
Speaker 5: We all know Will Kleinb.
Speaker 3: He fell in love with him last year in Game
Speaker 3: three of the World Series, where he faced fifteen batters,
Speaker 3: retiring twelve of them a lot of hitting, two walks
Speaker 3: in the winning Game three. That long eighteen eighting affair,
Speaker 3: twelve relief appearances this season, get his first start.
Speaker 5: He's the opener again.
Speaker 3: He pitched one plus innings and six of his twelve
Speaker 3: outings so far this year, striking striking out seventeen over
Speaker 3: sixteen and a third innings. Again, Will Kliinb will be
Speaker 3: the opener, take in the spot of Blake Snell, who
Speaker 3: was scratched a few hours ago and then placed on
Speaker 3: the injured list afterwards with chips bodies in his elbow.
Speaker 3: Dodgers Angels, we're fifteen minutes away from first pitch.
Speaker 5: Keys to the game bar next. I'm Tim Kass the
Speaker 5: back to back World Series champion Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 1: This is Marongo Casino Dodgers on tack on your home
Speaker 1: for the Blue All.
Speaker 5: Season log Dodgers and Angels.
Speaker 3: Let's get the freeway series going from the Big A
Speaker 3: and Anaheim. As Blake Snell has been scratched Will Klein,
Speaker 3: it will be the opener in a bullpen game. Snell
Speaker 3: has gone to the injured list. Chekhuanawitz, We'll get the
Speaker 3: start for the Halo's getting ready for the start of
Speaker 3: the game with a Sapporo start, A great moments start
Speaker 3: with Saporo Beer, whatever your taste preference to. Poro has
Speaker 3: you cover with the variety crisp and refreshing Loggers, including
Speaker 3: light and non alcoholic beers. Soporo, good with sushi, great
Speaker 3: with baseball. Back out to the booth one final time,
Speaker 3: Tim never Rick Monday.
Speaker 2: Thank you very much.
Speaker 1: Tim.
Speaker 2: We count you down to the first pitch of the
Speaker 2: ball game tonight in Anaheim Dodgers and Angels. And it's
Speaker 2: the first of a three city road trip for the
Speaker 2: Dodgers as well. They'll head down to San Diego after
Speaker 2: the three games here, then off to Milwaukee after that.
Speaker 2: Before returning to Dodgers Stadium. But the Angels sixteen and
Speaker 2: twenty eight worst record in Major League Baseball, they actually
Speaker 2: lead this all time series eighty one to seventy three.
Speaker 2: The Dodgers have won nineteen of the last thirty in
Speaker 2: this series, but the Angels have won seven in a row,
Speaker 2: including sweeping the season series last year. Will kleinb getting
Speaker 2: the start with Blake Snell being scratched due to loose
Speaker 2: bodies in his left elbow. Blake goes to the il
Speaker 2: and Climb goes to the mountain tonight.
Speaker 6: And for Will Climb, come out, throw strikes, go as
Speaker 6: long as you can, and the bullpen is going to
Speaker 6: see some action tonight, and hopefully it's going to be
Speaker 6: the Angels that are forced to use their bullpen. But
Speaker 6: if you look at Jackhanowitz, like two different pitchers at
Speaker 6: home era barely at one and a half on the road,
Speaker 6: it's just over five and a half runs every nine
Speaker 6: innings of work. So the Dodgers no full well, Angels
Speaker 6: having difficulties scoring runs as you were alluding to a
Speaker 6: little bit earlier. So the Angels have now just won
Speaker 6: five of the last twenty three. The Dodgers can care less.
Speaker 6: They had their own boat that they need to row.
Speaker 2: With Blake Snell going on the injured list, the Dodgers
Speaker 2: making a roster move. They've selected the contract of left
Speaker 2: handed pitcher Charlie Barnes from TRIPAA Oklahoma City. Barnes was
Speaker 2: just picked up by the Dodgers last week after he
Speaker 2: was defaed by the Chicago Cubs, so he's only been
Speaker 2: in the Dodger organization a week or so. He's got
Speaker 2: a little bit of major league experience one game this
Speaker 2: year with the Cubs and going back a few years,
Speaker 2: a couple of games with the Minnesota Twins. So Charlie
Speaker 2: Barnes is in the Dodger bullpen tonight as they add
Speaker 2: another left handed Will Klein and Jack Ohonowitz your starters
Speaker 2: as if the Dodgers and Angels get set for Game
Speaker 2: one of the Freeway Series.
Speaker 5: Tip all right, don't forget afterwards.
Speaker 3: I got you covered with all the postgame festivities, but
Speaker 3: first pinches next, enjoy it. I'm Tim Katz's the back
Speaker 3: to back world champion Dodgers Audio Network
