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
Speaker 4: can't they print money.
Speaker 1: The Dodgers just can't continue.
Speaker 2: It's not fair.
Speaker 1: Are making plans.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a singular focus on controlling what they can control.
Speaker 3: Now your pregame host of the world champion LA Dodgers
Speaker 3: Tamle Cats.
Speaker 2: Hi, everybody, and welcome in to Morongo Casino. Dodgers on deck.
Speaker 2: Hope you're enjoying this Friday night as your Los Angeles
Speaker 2: Dodgers are back home at the Ravine. After a brief
Speaker 2: four game road trip in the Desert where they got
Speaker 2: a split with the Snakes. The Dodgers back home tonight
Speaker 2: for the start of a three game Freeways series Dodgers
Speaker 2: and Angels. Rokey Susaki on the mount, first pitch from
Speaker 2: a Uniclo field. The Dodger Stadium is coming up in
Speaker 2: seven to ten. Between then and now, we got a
Speaker 2: lot to get to here on Marongo Casino Dodgers on deck.
Speaker 2: You're gonna hear from Alex Vesia coming up in about
Speaker 2: forty five minutes, we'll get you your Dodger pitching matchup.
Speaker 2: We'll also get at your Dodgers magical moment. David Vase
Speaker 2: joins us. Throughout the hour, we'll hear from the Dodger Skipper.
Speaker 2: Coming up in about twenty minutes, Kirsten Watson from Sports
Speaker 2: net LA stops by. We've got your Otani rewind and
Speaker 2: if that wasn't enough, we will head out to the
Speaker 2: gallpin Ford broadcast booth and check out with Charlie Steiner
Speaker 2: and Rick Monday, who are on the call to start
Speaker 2: the game tonight. Well last night in the desert, thanks
Speaker 2: for looking really good for the Dodgers until they weren't.
Speaker 2: Justin Robleski got the start the left tender really good.
Speaker 2: Six innings, no runs, six hits, four strikeouts, zero walks.
Speaker 2: He lowered his ERA to two sixty two on the season,
Speaker 2: left the game with the lead thanks to the Dodgers
Speaker 2: offense with the top of the lineup didn't do much
Speaker 2: showy Otani getting the night off. Mookie Bets, Freddie Freeman
Speaker 2: and he Pa has a combined zero for twelve at
Speaker 2: the play, but it was the bottom of the lineup
Speaker 2: that came through, and they did. In the top of
Speaker 2: the fifth, two outs runners on for Ryan Ward.
Speaker 6: To two swung on and that has poked in the
Speaker 6: right field on the run, Carol, o's.
Speaker 7: Over his head.
Speaker 1: It's been all the wall.
Speaker 5: It's been all already around third.
Speaker 6: He will score stopping it second as Ward and the
Speaker 6: Dodgers strike first. It has won to nothing. Carbyn Carroll
Speaker 6: took a straight route to the ball.
Speaker 1: It was over his head.
Speaker 7: On a swinging by Ward and for Carol just took
Speaker 7: the wrong route.
Speaker 2: That is the top tier play of the game, brought
Speaker 2: to by Arco Quality, top tier gas for less this game.
Speaker 2: Right after Max Munsey exited the game after colliding with
Speaker 2: first baseman Vargas, has both race to touch the first
Speaker 2: base bag. Munsey not in the lineup tonight, but feeling
Speaker 2: much better, does have a cut on his nose from
Speaker 2: the glasses that he hit Ryan Ward with the RBI
Speaker 2: double right after the adult rushing with the r single
Speaker 2: immediately after that, and the Dodgers scored two in the
Speaker 2: top of the fifth to take him two to nothing lead.
Speaker 2: Justin Robleski would go the six innings, leave with the
Speaker 2: possible victory in hand. Kyle Hurt pitched his seventh inning.
Speaker 2: He put up a zero striking out two after giving
Speaker 2: up a one out single. The eighth inning belge to
Speaker 2: one to Will Kline and it wasn't good. Corbyn Carroll
Speaker 2: lead off home run, then a walk, and then two
Speaker 2: batters later a single runners on second and third for
Speaker 2: Alex Vessi, in which he gave up an RBI single
Speaker 2: to Heraldo Perdomo. Both runs go to will Kline that
Speaker 2: tied the game at two. To the top of the ninth,
Speaker 2: we went. Dodgers went quietly. Bottom of the ninth. Tanner
Speaker 2: Scott on relief, got a strikeout to start off the
Speaker 2: inning and then the next pitch to katl Marte.
Speaker 6: Marte batting from the right side, the pitch to him
Speaker 6: swe on and hammer two pleat fourth.
Speaker 1: Down the line and go.
Speaker 6: It's a walk off home run for katl Marte and
Speaker 6: the Diamondbacks come back and win it three to two.
Speaker 2: Diamondbacks come all the way back with a walk off
Speaker 2: win as Paul Seawall gets to win and relieve Tanner
Speaker 2: Scott gets tagged with the loss. Dodgers had a chance
Speaker 2: to leave Arizona with the series win. And extending their
Speaker 2: lead in the division. However, they leave the Desert with
Speaker 2: the four games split after getting walked off. They leave
Speaker 2: with a six and a half game lead over the
Speaker 2: Snakes in the NL West as they sit at forty
Speaker 2: and twenty three overall on this season and now quick
Speaker 2: turnaround after flying back from Arizona last night, back at
Speaker 2: it tonight for the start of a three game freeway
Speaker 2: series against the last place Anaheim Angels. But don't overlook
Speaker 2: the Halos as they are hungary for some payback after
Speaker 2: the Dodgers had a three game sweep down in Anaheim
Speaker 2: a few weekends ago. Rookie Susaki on the mountain tonight
Speaker 2: to start off the series first pitch of seven to
Speaker 2: ten and with more, let's head out to the galloping
Speaker 2: Ford broadcast booth as we say hello to Charlie Steiner
Speaker 2: and Rick Monday. Guys, all right, the Dodgers are.
Speaker 8: Back home after splitting four games in Arizona with the Diamondbacks,
Speaker 8: and his play begins tonight. The Dodgers at forty and
Speaker 8: twenty three if a six and a half game lead
Speaker 8: on the Diamondbacks seven over the Padres, and the Padres
Speaker 8: are really sinking fast. The Angels, on the other hand,
Speaker 8: are fifteen games under five hundred twenty four and thirty nine.
Speaker 8: They and the Rockies are tied with the worst record
Speaker 8: in baseball. But the Dodgers return home breathing a sigh
Speaker 8: of relief. Yes, they split the four in Arizona, but
Speaker 8: Max Monsey, it could have been a whole.
Speaker 9: Lot well, it could have been a lot worse. So
Speaker 9: the Dodgers said they feel good about coming home. Obviously,
Speaker 9: they won seven of their last eight here in the
Speaker 9: home turf. But with Max Munsey, he went through the
Speaker 9: concussion protocol fine, that violent collision last night at first base,
Speaker 9: he had to leave, so did the Diamondbacks first baseman.
Speaker 9: So for monthly, not in the starting lineup tonight. He
Speaker 9: doesn't really know, he being Dave Roberts. If he can
Speaker 9: swing the bat later on, we'll find out. But they
Speaker 9: expect Max to maybe be in the starting lineup again
Speaker 9: tomorrow night.
Speaker 8: And so the Dodgers are sitting pretty and they've got
Speaker 8: Susaki going against debt Meurs and just watching Otani now
Speaker 8: it's unbelievable what he does.
Speaker 7: Bat in his hand.
Speaker 8: His last outing on the hill was merely spectacular. You know,
Speaker 8: there are only seventeen batters in baseball hitting over three
Speaker 8: hundred at the moment. Otani's one of them at three
Speaker 8: oh one, ranking ninth and Wednesday night, three hits, a
Speaker 8: couple of walks, got a nineteen game on Bay Streak.
Speaker 8: Oh on the pitching, his RAS point seventy five.
Speaker 9: Well, people may get tired of hearing us talk about him,
Speaker 9: but I go to Heraldo Perdomo with the Arizona dim
Speaker 9: of Max the other day when asked about O'tani goes,
Speaker 9: he's a guy from a different planet. I mean, he
Speaker 9: is just doing things. You don't dare take your eyes
Speaker 9: off of him.
Speaker 8: Otani red hot back in the lineup at the off
Speaker 8: day yesterday, and he'll be leading off as usual. Couple
Speaker 8: of mookie bets. It's been a real issue to this point.
Speaker 8: He was zero four last night, comes into the game
Speaker 8: hitting a buck eighty three, two nineteen against lefties, one
Speaker 8: sixty nine against righty's Dodger Stadium, one ninety two. On
Speaker 8: the road, he's hitting won seventy two.
Speaker 7: He's got an issue.
Speaker 9: Yeah, you know what I've noticed recently, taken notice of it.
Speaker 9: He's taking a lot of first pitch strikes. I mean,
Speaker 9: it looks like he's just with the mindset. He wants
Speaker 9: to see what the pitcher is going to deliver. Does
Speaker 9: that work for him? Does it work against him?
Speaker 7: Don't really know.
Speaker 9: He did hit a couple of balls very very hard
Speaker 9: in that four game series. Happened to be Lion drives
Speaker 9: right at people. Hopefully that's a sign of good things.
Speaker 9: Not that it's right at people, but the fact that
Speaker 9: he's hitting the ball hard.
Speaker 8: Oh tany leading it off tonight, MOOKI will be hitting
Speaker 8: for detailed the lineups at first pitch a little bit
Speaker 8: later on Tim All right.
Speaker 2: Thank you, Charlie. Are off and running as we cut
Speaker 2: you down to first pitch. Dodger fans get that game
Speaker 2: day meal on and Shaky's Pizza parlor. You know what
Speaker 2: are your Shaky's Pizza Chicken and Mojo's right now and
Speaker 2: Shaky's coming up here on Wrongo Casino. Dodgers on deck.
Speaker 2: You're gonna hear from Alex Vesia. You're gonna hear from
Speaker 2: the manager, Dave Roberts. David Vase checks in throughout the hour.
Speaker 2: We got your Otani Rewind and Kirsten Watson, though when
Speaker 2: we come back as we lead up to Dodgers and
Speaker 2: Angels on this Friday Night, the Freeway Series. First pitch
Speaker 2: at seven ten. They should being with us. I'm Tim
Speaker 2: kas is the back to back World Series champion Dodgers
Speaker 2: Paudio Network.
Speaker 3: This is Morongo Cassino Dodgers hunting on your home for
Speaker 3: La Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 2: It's the Dodgers and Angels the Freeway Series after the
Speaker 2: Dodgers swept the Angels a couple weekends ago in Anaheim.
Speaker 2: Back at it tonight from the Ravine Rookie Sasaki, Redetmer's
Speaker 2: the pitching matchup first pitch coming up at seven to
Speaker 2: ten show, Hey Otani? Last night didn't play a rare
Speaker 2: off night for Otani after the great outing that he
Speaker 2: had on the mound and at the plate on Wednesday night.
Speaker 2: O'tan he got a rest last night as a Dodgers
Speaker 2: had a too nothing lead, only to see that lead
Speaker 2: disappear and lose the finale in the desert. Three to two.
Speaker 1: This is Kirston's Corner with Kirston Watson.
Speaker 2: Hey Kirson now joins was brought to by Cars for
Speaker 2: Kids Cards for Kids dot Org. That's Cars with a
Speaker 2: K all right, Kirston, here we are quick turnaround after
Speaker 2: a split in Arizona that in and in a disappointing
Speaker 2: fashion last night with the walkoff loss. The Dodgers are
Speaker 2: back at it tonight for the start of the Freeway series.
Speaker 10: They sure are they looking to get going. And look,
Speaker 10: as you mentioned, last night was a tough loss, especially
Speaker 10: coming off of how well Justin Obleski pitched. He really
Speaker 10: has been excellent as of blatant. So yet another really
Speaker 10: fantastic outing, and you know, you put the team in
Speaker 10: a position to win, you know, the offense for the
Speaker 10: most they got run support early, but just went unable
Speaker 10: to really continue to build on things outside of like
Speaker 10: one or two innings.
Speaker 1: So we saw a.
Speaker 10: Comeback for the Diamondback. So now it's really just a
Speaker 10: turn the page. But within that game, we also saw
Speaker 10: a very scary collision. It was a head on collision
Speaker 10: with Max Munsey and Diamondback's first baseman Ildemaro Vargas, and
Speaker 10: with that both guys exited the game. Good news was
Speaker 10: that Max Munsey afterwards said that he was a little
Speaker 10: beat up in the moment. It definitely was a hard contact.
Speaker 10: He did feel like after he caught his breath, he
Speaker 10: was able to he could have gotten back out there
Speaker 10: if need be. But Dave Roberts has said that he's
Speaker 10: passed all concussion testing and the good news is that
Speaker 10: he should be back in the lineup tomorrow. So, you know,
Speaker 10: as much as it has been a quick turnaround, and
Speaker 10: guys are you know we got in late last night,
Speaker 10: it's a little bit tired. They're looking to get this
Speaker 10: one going because they do know that the Angels, maybe
Speaker 10: not in the series that happened in Anaheim, but the
Speaker 10: Angels do typically like to be aggressive, and I like
Speaker 10: to get things going and find a way to pick
Speaker 10: up a win against the Dodge what we saw last
Speaker 10: year here at Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 2: Well, the Dodgers are looking for a jolt tonight from somebody.
Speaker 2: Hopefully it's rookie Sasaki, who feels like he's on that
Speaker 2: trend of having some good starts here.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 10: I think that's the biggest thing is he just ultimately
Speaker 10: he's in a position where he's truly building off of
Speaker 10: each outing. He got the velocity to take back up,
Speaker 10: you know, mechanically, he feels like he's in sync. We're
Speaker 10: seeing how how he's made the small additions and I
Speaker 10: guess changes to his pitch mix. How that has truly
Speaker 10: been beneficial for him. So he's in a great spot
Speaker 10: right now. Recently there's been a lot of conversation about
Speaker 10: how he's gotten stronger and just really using his full
Speaker 10: body on the mound. So we're seeing that, we're seeing
Speaker 10: the results, and this really is, you know, a great
Speaker 10: matchup for him in which he can continue to prove
Speaker 10: what he's doing, how he's building. And also he could
Speaker 10: be in a potentially in a position where he could
Speaker 10: gain a little bit more trust with getting deeper into
Speaker 10: the game. And we can see a position where maybe
Speaker 10: if the pitch counts in a good spot, we could
Speaker 10: see Dave Roberts potentially challenging him to get a little
Speaker 10: bit deeper.
Speaker 2: So hopefully we can see.
Speaker 10: Him whether it's beating through six or maybe even getting
Speaker 10: into the seventh.
Speaker 2: Let's hope he can give him some length to night,
Speaker 2: because this Dodgers team needs a little bit of a
Speaker 2: jolt coming after that four game series in the Desert. Kirston,
Speaker 2: we appreciate it. What check in with you after the game?
Speaker 2: Still to come here on Marango Casino. Dodgers on Deck.
Speaker 2: We'll dive deeper into this pitching matchup. David Vessego's one
Speaker 2: on one with Alex Vesia. But up next we get
Speaker 2: you an injury report and we'll hear from the manager himself,
Speaker 2: Dave Roberts, as we'd leads up to Dodgers and Angels
Speaker 2: the Freeway Series on this Friday. I'm Tim Kass, the
Speaker 2: back to back World Series champion Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 3: This is Marongo Casino Dodgers on Deck on your home
Speaker 3: for the Blue all season long.

Speaker 1: In the dugouts with Dave?
Speaker 11: Roberts Max He's doing well. He's got a little bruise
Speaker 11: on his nose. He's a little sore overall kind of soreness,
Speaker 11: but feels good. Says that he's uh, he'll be ready
Speaker 11: to go tomorrow.
Speaker 10: Him getting back to the letter tomorrow and you're gonna
Speaker 10: have to manage him a little through this or needs
Speaker 10: to feel like he.
Speaker 1: Came back to total schedule.
Speaker 7: Luster to think. I think we'll be fine.
Speaker 11: I think so he'll play tomorrow and Sunday, then we'll
Speaker 11: be off on Monday for travel and then I think,
Speaker 11: you know, he should be good to go after that.
Speaker 11: We'll see, we'll see. You know, we're not hitting on
Speaker 11: the field today. We got in late, so we got
Speaker 11: some vilo. I'm sure he's gonna crank it up at
Speaker 11: some point in time today and then we'll I'll have
Speaker 11: that answer later.
Speaker 1: I didn't always see that have trouble with the Angels,
Speaker 1: and what.
Speaker 2: Are you expecting today?
Speaker 7: Dodgers win.
Speaker 11: You know, they play us tough. But you know, we
Speaker 11: had a good time down there in Anaheim, played well
Speaker 11: and so hopefully we can keep that going tonight.
Speaker 1: Started running today.
Speaker 11: I talked to Blake briefly and he said he started
Speaker 11: throwing today, so he was excited about that. Came out
Speaker 11: of it well, proje what happened from here? I think,
Speaker 11: you know, I think, like a lot of times, it's
Speaker 11: just kind of when when a guy is obviously coming
Speaker 11: off surgery is different than you know, an off season,
Speaker 11: but the build up is like any season.
Speaker 7: There it's the rehab part of it.
Speaker 11: But the progression, I don't know about the timeline, but
Speaker 11: it's gonna it's gonna be a way. We're gonna make
Speaker 11: sure that we we kind of take care of him,
Speaker 11: But I know Blake's gonna want to, you know, speed
Speaker 11: this process up.
Speaker 8: Two certain situation.
Speaker 2: But how much did you guys follow up per school situation?
Speaker 7: You're looking to hear what settles happen? We don't. We don't.
Speaker 11: That's uh, I mean, honestly, that's honestly, I think for
Speaker 11: certainly for me, it's just more of just trying to
Speaker 11: think about who we have on our roster, you know,
Speaker 11: being mindful of those guys and how we backfeel you
Speaker 11: know internally that Yeah, that's kind of honestly.
Speaker 7: Where my head is at. All.
Speaker 2: Right, there's a manager, Dave Roberts, some free game thoughts
Speaker 2: as we get ready for this freeway series. As we
Speaker 2: continue here on Wrongo, because you know, Dodgers on deck,
Speaker 2: we will check in with the David Vances we lead
Speaker 2: you up to first pitch. Dodgers and Angels. I'm Tim Kates.
Speaker 2: Is the back to back World Series champion Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 3: As we were saying, yes, is Marongo Casino Dodger On,
Speaker 3: the official home of La Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 2: It's a freeway series from Dodger Stadium. Dodgers and Angels.
Speaker 2: Rookie Sosaki read Detver's the pitching matchup in the series opener.
Speaker 2: Dodgers Baseball is brought to you by Alpoto, born in
Speaker 2: La and made for your game day. El Poto brings
Speaker 2: authentic Mexican style tomato, sauces, sauces and hot sauces right
Speaker 2: to your plate every single time. El Poto Gourmet in
Speaker 2: a can.
Speaker 1: Joining Tim cats On Dodgers on Deck. I accept everybody
Speaker 1: for who they are. This is Dodger insider David.
Speaker 2: Ba all right, DV nasty collision at first base last
Speaker 2: night with Maximunsey came out of the game. I know
Speaker 2: you talked to him afterwards and you've seen him today.
Speaker 2: What's the latest.
Speaker 5: Dave Roberts said this was something that he talked about
Speaker 5: last night, that he planned on giving Munsey today off
Speaker 5: and he should be back in the starting lineup tomorrow night.
Speaker 5: But here's what Munsey had to say after the game
Speaker 5: last night inside the Dodger Club.
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know crumble on the right side.
Speaker 4: I saw the picture didn't go off the mound, and
Speaker 4: I saw he fielded it kind of running backwards, so
Speaker 4: busting a hard out of the box, and as I'm
Speaker 4: running down the line, I saw him in foul territory.
Speaker 7: So I got to the inside of the.
Speaker 4: Bag and I thought he was gonna stay, you know,
Speaker 4: on that side, and uh it felt like neither of
Speaker 4: us knew which direction we were going to go, and
Speaker 4: then we both went the wrong direction, and uh yeah, bang.
Speaker 4: You know, I obviously I really hope, uh, you know,
Speaker 4: Vargus is okay. I sent something over to him, you know, hope,
Speaker 4: hoping he's doing all right and he's not not too bad,
Speaker 4: but just uh yeah, bad, bad situation that looked like
Speaker 4: neither of us knew which which direction to go.
Speaker 5: Yeah, And the one thing to keep in mind to
Speaker 5: him is the fact that Vargas is not a veteran
Speaker 5: for a baseman. In fact, you just started playing for
Speaker 5: a space and Tory Lovello, the Diamondbacks manager, said after
Speaker 5: the game yesterday that Vargas should have slid towards the
Speaker 5: first space bag or the pitcher fell asleep and was
Speaker 5: a spectator. Ryan Nelson was not covering first space that
Speaker 5: would have avoided a collision as well, but tapping into
Speaker 5: a guy that knew how to handle that position pretty well.
Speaker 5: Our very own Eric carross I sent him a text
Speaker 5: and he sent back that Unfortunately both had the same idea.
Speaker 5: They were both heading to the dugout side of the base,
Speaker 5: and it looked like they both moved inside at the
Speaker 5: last minute to avoid contacts. So they were arriving at
Speaker 5: the same time and took the same lane, and that's
Speaker 5: when you got that type of football type of collision
Speaker 5: with Max Munsey and Delmo Vargas.
Speaker 2: Scary play. Thankfully, everybody is okay. David is brought to
Speaker 2: you by Ford. Here for those who build America, especially
Speaker 2: those who believe that given everything today will pay off tomorrow,
Speaker 2: those who will drive America forward for two hundred and
Speaker 2: fifty years to come. Right now, Ford is offering employee
Speaker 2: pricing to everyone American value for American values. Go to
Speaker 2: your Southern California for Dealer today or by for now
Speaker 2: dot Com Rookies sosact. He gets to start tonight DV
Speaker 2: and this is a Susaki. It kind of feels like
Speaker 2: he's getting better and better every single start.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's what guys around the team have told me
Speaker 5: that there's seemed more confidence out of Roki Sasaki, more
Speaker 5: of a competitor because in Japan he was just head
Speaker 5: and shoulders better than the guys that he was facing,
Speaker 5: and he didn't really have to grind through starts, grind
Speaker 5: through seasons. And Travis Smith, the Dodgers' strength coach, was
Speaker 5: pointed out by Dave Roberts after the last Roki Sasaki
Speaker 5: start that Roki's been working with him going back to
Speaker 5: last year to be a lot stronger, stronger based, stronger
Speaker 5: upper body, and talking to Travis, he said, yeah, you're
Speaker 5: starting to see the fruits of all that work that
Speaker 5: he's put in with the weight training to get bigger
Speaker 5: and stronger, and in turn he's become more athletic on
Speaker 5: the mound. And Dalton Rushing, who has connected with him
Speaker 5: really well, he's not catching tonight, but Dalton's told me
Speaker 5: there have been times in the bullpen before Roki what
Speaker 5: he belie leaves is going to be his last warm
Speaker 5: up throw. If Dalton Rushing's not happy with it, he
Speaker 5: shouts at Roki one more, give me a really good
Speaker 5: one more. And at times Dalton said he has actually
Speaker 5: grabbed Roki and said let's go to get that fire
Speaker 5: lit underneath him before they head out of that bullpen.
Speaker 5: So it takes a village tim to get Roki Sasaki
Speaker 5: to where he's at. It's been development at the major
Speaker 5: league level and it's continuing tonight.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it definitely looks like a guy who is continuing
Speaker 2: to grow up right before our eyes. All Right, DV
Speaker 2: time out for the Dodger Derby, brought to by San
Speaker 2: Anina Park. As we make picks head to head this
Speaker 2: spring season, we look at tomorrow's fourth race. It is

Speaker 2: I'm Tim Kates is the back to back World Series
Speaker 2: champion Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 3: This is I'm a wrong O Casino Dodgers on Tack
Speaker 3: on your home for the Blue all season long.
Speaker 2: Dodgers and Angels getting ready to square off round two
Speaker 2: of the Freeway Series. Rookie Sasaki read Devers the pitching matchup.
Speaker 2: Time now for the start of the game, as we
Speaker 2: are thirty five minutes away from the start of the game.
Speaker 2: With the Verizon startup Now Verizon, you can lock in
Speaker 2: your low price for three years so you can save big.
Speaker 2: Visit your so called Verizon store today.
Speaker 3: And now joined by David Bassey, here's La Dodgers broadcaster
Speaker 3: and World Series champion Dodger Rick Monday.
Speaker 5: Well, Rick, this will be a brief home stand against
Speaker 5: the Angels before the team heads out to Pittsburgh and Chicago.
Speaker 5: So don't unpack.
Speaker 7: No, this is laundry stop.
Speaker 9: That's exactly what In fact, today I thought, well, you're
Speaker 9: gonna stop it, get the car washed.
Speaker 7: It's a win a minute. We're only time for three days,
Speaker 7: then we leave. It's gonna be dirty when it come back,
Speaker 7: so just leave it dirty.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's a great plan. That's why you're a veterank you.
Speaker 2: How many times have you.
Speaker 5: Looked at the replay of that collision between Max month
Speaker 5: seing the Diamondbacks.
Speaker 9: First, I have actually not seen it other than right
Speaker 9: after it took place, and I was listening just a
Speaker 9: moment ago.
Speaker 7: You were you're talking to to Max. That was an.
Speaker 9: Extremely violent collision, and thankfully both were able to leave
Speaker 9: under their own power. The question is going to be
Speaker 9: is that the lingering effects on both of them and
Speaker 9: and Max gave the explanation. He thought that the first
Speaker 9: base who was normally not playing that way, was going
Speaker 9: to go to the other part of the bag, and
Speaker 9: Max was attempting to avoid that.
Speaker 7: Before that that was like the head on train collision.
Speaker 2: It certainly was.
Speaker 5: I was wondering, you've seen a lot of baseball, You've
Speaker 5: been involved in a lot of baseball. Did you ever
Speaker 5: have a play close to what we saw yesterday?
Speaker 7: No, and not like that. Not like that.
Speaker 9: I immediately thought of, you know, collisions that we have seen,
Speaker 9: you know other times, you know, we're maybe a first
Speaker 9: basement comes across the bag and receiving a high throw.
Speaker 9: I think of Cliff Floyd as a matter of fact,
Speaker 9: when he's at Montreal, who had to reach for a
Speaker 9: ball towards the home plate side of first base and
Speaker 9: as he was reaching out, the runner was going by
Speaker 9: and it fractured his.
Speaker 7: Wrists very severely.
Speaker 9: But I don't recall seeing a head on collision like
Speaker 9: we saw yesterday, and it was I mean, it was
Speaker 9: upsetting to see it.
Speaker 5: You talk about never being a spectator. Tory Lavello called
Speaker 5: out his picture yesterday for being one because he said
Speaker 5: that collision could have been avoided if the picture would
Speaker 5: have covered first base.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 9: Yeah, but if the picture cannot be an observer, he's
Speaker 9: going to be an active participant.
Speaker 7: And that just did not happen at the time. The
Speaker 7: Dodgers now they have to come on.
Speaker 9: You know, they're playing against the team that trust me,
Speaker 9: you hear this from time to time, but teams play
Speaker 9: up to the competition, or for the Dodgers, don't play
Speaker 9: down to the competition. And I don't mean that from
Speaker 9: a demeaning standboy, I'm talking about just the record, just
Speaker 9: the record itself. The Angels will do everything, along with
Speaker 9: everybody else to try and beat the Dodgers. I go
Speaker 9: back to last year if people got upset with the
Speaker 9: comment that Mookie Ben said, he said that every team
Speaker 9: that they play is going to be like their World Series.
Speaker 7: He was right here, he was the Angel.
Speaker 2: There's them also, I mean, they're already here.
Speaker 7: For example the next road trip.
Speaker 9: Trust me, they're already billboarding in Pittsburgh and have been
Speaker 9: for a number of days. Hey, the back to back
Speaker 9: world champions are coming into town. That is just what
Speaker 9: happens when you are part of an elite ball club,
Speaker 9: an elite organization, Your expatients or expectations are very high.
Speaker 9: So yes, indeed, you're going to have teams that will
Speaker 9: play up to the competition rather than to remain stagnated
Speaker 9: where they are, whatever standings.
Speaker 5: You know, some players on the Dodgers have told me
Speaker 5: it's unrealistic to expect them to raise their adrenaline level
Speaker 5: to the opposition like a Pirates or like the Angels.
Speaker 5: But it feels like being at home with fifty thousand
Speaker 5: plus shouldn't be that hard to get some adrenaline going.
Speaker 9: At all, especially just driving into the stadium. You're kind
Speaker 9: of building up on top of it. So you know,
Speaker 9: it's one of those things. In Rookie Sasaki tonight and
Speaker 9: how he has developed, because remember he's gone from the
Speaker 9: fork ball. He called it a splitter, but he's gone
Speaker 9: from the forkball deep within that v the middle finger
Speaker 9: in the middle and the index finger to a little
Speaker 9: bit more out towards the fingertips. Now it is really,
Speaker 9: it truly is a splitter. He's shown that he has
Speaker 9: better control of it. He shows that he has better
Speaker 9: really I think confidence in it and confidence. I know
Speaker 9: you were talking earlier about the confidence. You can see
Speaker 9: more confidence from Sissaki on the mound right now.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we'll see how this one goes as well, because
Speaker 5: it feels like it's development work in progress every start
Speaker 5: for him.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it is, so you don't have to get guitar
Speaker 7: washed the bar.
Speaker 5: Okay, thanks, Rick, Wait till we get back off the
Speaker 5: next show.
Speaker 3: Trip.
Speaker 5: You and Charlie have been developed me, developing me for
Speaker 5: fifteen years, so I feel like every every day is
Speaker 5: a new day.
Speaker 7: Well your response, We've got at least another five years
Speaker 7: of work to do.
Speaker 2: Okay, sounds good.
Speaker 7: Studio.
Speaker 2: All right, thanks a lot, DV. Thank you MO. Dodgers
Speaker 2: Baseball is presented by Uniclo Field at Dodger Stadium. Visit
Speaker 2: uniclow dot com slash us. Still the comb will dive
Speaker 2: deep into this pitching matchup. Charlie and Rick will be
Speaker 2: back with the keys of the game. But up next
Speaker 2: we go high and tie with alex Vesia Dodgers Angels,
Speaker 2: Game one of the Freeway Series from Dodger Stadium. I'm
Speaker 2: Tim Kates at the back to back World Series champion
Speaker 2: Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 3: As we were saying, yes, is Marongo Casino Dodgers on
Speaker 3: the official home of LA Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 2: It's the Dodgers and Angels Freeway Series. Rookie Sasaki read
Speaker 2: Detmer's the pitching matchup. First pitch from Dodger Stadium. Miss
Speaker 2: coming up at sevent ten.
Speaker 3: And now what will likely be best fielding insults from
Speaker 3: a Dodger player.
Speaker 2: It's an engagement of endearment.
Speaker 1: This is high and tugged. Well.
Speaker 5: We've been to Downy Hunday together, We've been to Benny
Speaker 5: Boy Brewing together. How about being in the Dodger dugout
Speaker 5: together with two time World Series champion Alex Vesia. You
Speaker 5: really missed me a lot. I could tell Hi, Dave,
Speaker 5: how you doing.
Speaker 2: I'm doing good?
Speaker 14: Are you?
Speaker 7: Everything's great? How about you?
Speaker 5: I mean, obviously we don't get a chance to talk
Speaker 5: too much about the pitching when we're having fun away
Speaker 5: from the stadium, But at this stage of the season,
Speaker 5: where would you say you're you're feeling?
Speaker 7: Honestly, I'm feeling pretty good.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 14: We try to take it one day at a time.
Speaker 14: I mean, we have the family trip coming up Pittsburgh
Speaker 14: in Chicago, so that'll be fun. Happy to have Ka
Speaker 14: on board, and you know, just trying to take one
Speaker 14: day at a time. We got the Angels today, tomorrow Sunday.
Speaker 7: So let's go get three wins.
Speaker 5: Why would you do that to your family, take them
Speaker 5: to Pittsburgh.
Speaker 14: Well, technically that was Kay's choice to go to Pittsburgh.
Speaker 14: I think they've got some stuff planned, the wives and
Speaker 14: families have some stuff planned. But hey, yeah, she wanted to.
Speaker 14: I think she's never been there. She's never been to
Speaker 14: the White Sox, so she's like, I need to check
Speaker 14: that off. The bucket list, so told her, let's go, all.
Speaker 5: Right, I vesia trip to Pittsburgh and Chicago coming up.
Speaker 5: How are you doing this at this stage of your career?
Speaker 5: You still have a lot left in the tank. A
Speaker 5: lot of people regard you as one of the best
Speaker 5: relievers in baseball.
Speaker 1: Thanks, but you appreciate that.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, but you're not the guy that throws
Speaker 5: ninety seven ninety eight, but you find a way.
Speaker 7: Nope, yeah, I don't.
Speaker 14: I don't throw very hard, Dave, but I think the
Speaker 14: easiest thing is just to make sure the hitter is
Speaker 14: guessing right, so it's being able to throw my slider.
Speaker 7: For a strike.
Speaker 14: I've thrown the changeup well this year as well, you know,
Speaker 14: but I love throwing the fastball. It's just something that,
Speaker 14: you know, I've always felt like I've had a good
Speaker 14: feeling for and obviously my slider and my changeup have
Speaker 14: gotten better.
Speaker 11: You know.
Speaker 14: I have to thank the Dodger pitching coaches for helping
Speaker 14: me that and developed that over the years. And you know,
Speaker 14: I love being on this team and this year has
Speaker 14: been really special.
Speaker 5: How much do you trust your change up these days?
Speaker 14: I've I mean lover the last few outings, will and rushing.
Speaker 14: I've called it a lot more so I think it's
Speaker 14: they're trusting it more. For myself, I'm just I'll go
Speaker 14: out there and just throw it.
Speaker 7: You know, I'm not.
Speaker 1: I don't really think too much about it.
Speaker 14: But yeah, it's been it's been good.
Speaker 5: It seems like that's the new pitch a lot of
Speaker 5: guys are coming up with.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 14: I think like last year was the splitter for like
Speaker 14: right hand a lot more right handers. I think for myself,
Speaker 14: adding the changeup is is he helped me get right
Speaker 14: handers and left handers out.
Speaker 2: So yeah, the third pitch is always nice.
Speaker 5: But Alex VESI, when you talk about him, you talk
Speaker 5: about the rising fastball, the spin rate.
Speaker 1: How do you get the baseball to do that?
Speaker 5: And is it still always a work in progress?
Speaker 14: Yeah, I mean it's something that I feel like I've
Speaker 14: always kind of had, even in college in the minor leagues. Yeah,
Speaker 14: I can't really tell you, like I just kind of throw.
Speaker 14: It's just my way of throwing. I guess I'm not
Speaker 14: too sure.
Speaker 5: But is it like how Kenley Jansen just naturally would
Speaker 5: throw a cut fastball?
Speaker 14: So yeah, sort of because I don't like train that
Speaker 14: you don't really train it. It's kind of just naturally
Speaker 14: within the throw. I think this spin efficiency on the
Speaker 14: baseball is what helps to because it's it's very close
Speaker 14: to one hundred percent, so it means it matches like
Speaker 14: my arm slot pretty well. But yeah, I mean if
Speaker 14: we get into data analytics, we'll.
Speaker 5: Be here for at least an hour, Dave, So you
Speaker 5: know that's way over my head.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5: Alex Vesia is our guest before first pitch of the
Speaker 5: Freeways series. One guy I wanted to ask you about
Speaker 5: because he's so quiet and he's been so vital to
Speaker 5: the success of your bullpen is a Gardo Enriquez. What
Speaker 5: can you tell us about a Gardo super human?
Speaker 14: Just when you see Mountain Mount you're like, oh, that's
Speaker 14: a big guy, right, like stocky huge, you know, big shoulders.
Speaker 7: When you're next to him, I feel so small.
Speaker 14: He's just you know, he's a unit it.
Speaker 7: He throwing one hundred and four. Yeah, but he is.
Speaker 14: He is quiet, so we do like to kind of
Speaker 14: get him out of his shell. Uh, Chico and Hammer
Speaker 14: in the bullpen. They definitely get him out of his shell.
Speaker 14: And that's it's fun there I'm really happy that, you know,
Speaker 14: we're able to have fun with him, and but he
Speaker 14: is quiet. He's a quite guy, but it's just that's
Speaker 14: his thing.
Speaker 5: Do you feel like he's starting to come into his.
Speaker 14: Own Yeah, yeah, absolutely, I think you know, last year
Speaker 14: he was hurt for a little while, so like this year,
Speaker 14: being hopefully all the way all the way through the season.
Speaker 14: You know, his success and you know he's learning, and
Speaker 14: you know, he had a quick rise up here, you know.
Speaker 14: And the one thing he comes into the ballpark every
Speaker 14: day with a good head on his shoulders.
Speaker 7: And he has a really good routine.
Speaker 14: You know, he's always you know, has has just a
Speaker 14: good attitude, you know, regardless of success or failure. And
Speaker 14: I think that's a really big key to having success
Speaker 14: in the game, is just being able to wake up
Speaker 14: the next day and still you know, work towards those
Speaker 14: goals and and not have the highs.
Speaker 7: Too high or the lows too low.
Speaker 5: Do you feel like Tanner Scott has learned that in
Speaker 5: his year and a half with the Dodgers. Do you
Speaker 5: feel like he's getting better at that?
Speaker 14: I mean, Tanner's had a lot of success in his career,
Speaker 14: you know, and he's had big spots in postseason games,
Speaker 14: and I just think that, you know, sometimes baseball is
Speaker 14: just a tough sport man, and and you can do
Speaker 14: everything right and still not have success, you know. And
Speaker 14: you know, we got to know each other really well
Speaker 14: last year, and for him to have you know, success
Speaker 14: this year, it's it's been. It's been really awesome to see.
Speaker 14: And I feel like I feed off of that as well,
Speaker 14: just because like we're you know, we're both lefties down there,
Speaker 14: and it's like when he's doing good and when I'm
Speaker 14: doing good, like it's it's just the mojo and just
Speaker 14: like that confidence I think just gets even.
Speaker 5: Higher before I let you go, Alex Vesia, every year
Speaker 5: is a new year, Every bullpen is obviously different. Do
Speaker 5: you feel like you guys are strying to build your
Speaker 5: own identity for twenty twenty six?
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 14: Yeah, you asked me that when we were at Downy
Speaker 14: and I'm still trying to figure out what exactly we're
Speaker 14: gonna call call her, So says, you know, I always
Speaker 14: like the bullpen Dogs, but might have to switch it up,
Speaker 14: so you might have to come back with me with
Speaker 14: and hopefully we'll get a name for us well as.
Speaker 5: Long as you're in the bullpen. It's the bullpen Dogs.
Speaker 14: Yeah, but that but that was Bazuoka like that, Like
Speaker 14: he he was the one that like really set the
Speaker 14: tone for that.
Speaker 7: So yeah, well we'll see, okay, all right, we'll work
Speaker 7: on it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we'll be together again off campus one day.
Speaker 14: Yeah, absolutely, I see you every day.
Speaker 1: Thanks a lot for the time.
Speaker 7: Absolutely, have a good day.

Speaker 2: in the rotation this season, making his thirteen start last
Speaker 2: time out five in the third Indies three runs, five hits,
Speaker 2: seven strikeouts in a win over the Rays. Last three starts,
Speaker 2: he has struck out at least seven hitters in each
Speaker 2: of those outings. In fact, he ranks fourth in the
Speaker 2: league with eighty two strikeouts this year. Look out for
Speaker 2: that curveball. It's the slowest curveball in the major leagues.
Speaker 2: It's seventy two miles per hour on average with an
Speaker 2: eleven inch break on the curveball. This is his six start,
Speaker 2: ninth appearance against the Dodgers. One in three with a
Speaker 2: five to ninety eer Uniclo Field the Dodgers Stadium. He's
Speaker 2: one in three with a ten ninety three ERA in
Speaker 2: four games. Rookie Sasaki on the mound for the Dodgers
Speaker 2: three and three, four to fifty ERA last time out,
Speaker 2: five and a third one run ball against the Phillies
Speaker 2: in May five starts, he went with the three to
Speaker 2: eighteen ERRA compared to a seven to twenty three RRA

Speaker 2: Charlie Steiner, Rick Monday.
Speaker 8: Guys as a Dodgers and Angels get ready for the
Speaker 8: first of this three game series before the Dodgers hit
Speaker 8: the road to Pittsburgh and to the South side of Chicago.
Speaker 8: Roki Sasaki tonight going against Reed Debtmer's and which Roki
Speaker 8: Sasaki will we see?
Speaker 9: Well, he's made an adjustment to one pitch, and that's
Speaker 9: what he called the splitter. It's really a forkball deep
Speaker 9: in of the v between the middle finger and the
Speaker 9: index finger. Well, now he is kind of tightened that
Speaker 9: grip up a little bit, so it is a splitter
Speaker 9: and no longer a fork ball. And it seems to
Speaker 9: have helped him because he went late April, he kind
Speaker 9: of changed the grip around a little bit, and he's
Speaker 9: throwing that pitch now for strikes with a higher.
Speaker 7: Percentage, and he looks more confident.
Speaker 9: Absolutely, absolutely, it's not like he's searching for the strength zone.
Speaker 9: He's pitching now like he owns the strength zone.
Speaker 8: So Sasaki goes against Reed Debtmer's two up, five down
Speaker 8: a lefty. In his last two starts, he's pitched reasonably well.
Speaker 8: Four runs in thirteen innings of the Angels have won
Speaker 8: both of those games.
Speaker 9: Yeah, And for Debtmans, like most pitchers, when he's ahead
Speaker 9: and the coount, he's very good. He's going to change speeds.
Speaker 9: He's not had a lot of success here. In fact,
Speaker 9: in the zero to three and an er of twelve
Speaker 9: and sixteen innings, he's worked a lot of innings and
Speaker 9: given up a lot of runs.
Speaker 8: And the Dodgers in the three games series up in
Speaker 8: Anaheim a couple of weeks ago, swept the series, outscoring
Speaker 8: them thirty one to three.
Speaker 7: Let's see what the Dodgers can do in this three game.
Speaker 8: Series with the Angels back here at Uniclo Field at
Speaker 8: Dodgers Stadium. Lineups at first pitch, coming up all.
Speaker 2: Right, thank you, Charlie. Don't forget David vast Days got

Speaker 2: a half game lead in the NL West going into
Speaker 2: action tonight. Dodgers first place in the division, ahead of
Speaker 2: Arizona and San Diego, who has lost five in a row.
Speaker 2: Keep you updated on what happens at Petco Park. Is
Speaker 2: the Padres taken on the Mets, already down one to nothing,
Speaker 2: and the Diabacks at home against the Nationals already trailing
