Speaker 6: Then the skies opened up and we had baseball at
Speaker 6: Target Field. It was just a Roblusky getting the start.
Speaker 6: He'd go seven innings, allowed two runs on five hits.
Speaker 6: The Dodgers gave him offense early in some run support
Speaker 6: early Tommy Edmond and RBI's single scoring show Hey Dodgers

Speaker 6: home run off Robutsky in the bottom of the second
Speaker 6: that made it a one to one game. They would
Speaker 6: exchange runs in the third. We were tied two to
Speaker 6: two Dodgers and Twins going to the fourth inning. When
Speaker 6: the Dodgers had one of those innings, show Hey otani
Speaker 6: Is sack fly gave him a three to two lead.
Speaker 6: Freddie Freeman, in an RBI single, minuted a four to
Speaker 6: two lead, then Mookie Betts with an RBI single made
Speaker 6: a five to two lead. Dodgers cruising in this sixth
Speaker 6: when Freddy Freeman struck again.
Speaker 2: Dodgers were swept by the Twins in that series. Freddy

Speaker 6: As far as the Dodgers were concerned, they weren't even
Speaker 6: close to being done. In the seventh Robinson a sack
Speaker 6: bunt that scored a run mad at seven to two.
Speaker 6: Then in the ninth inning, the Dodgers up and still
Speaker 6: tacking on more with one of those crooked innings offensively,
Speaker 6: and then all got started by Alice Call.
Speaker 2: Seven to two, Dodgers in front. Now the pitch swung
Speaker 2: on Belt at the left and deep, this ball heading

Speaker 1: Gone home run number one for Alex Call.

Speaker 2: He's getting a standing ovation from a lot of Alex
Speaker 2: Call fans down there on the third day.

Speaker 6: Max Monsey then with a two run double, the Dodgers
Speaker 6: in the ninth inning put up a five spot as
Speaker 6: they cruise to a twelve to three win.
Speaker 4: Justin Robleski would go seven.
Speaker 6: Indians give up the early two runs, but then in
Speaker 6: cruise control the rest of the way, he picks up
Speaker 6: the victory. He's now nine in two. The Dodgers now
Speaker 6: fifty one and twenty nine. They maintain a nine game
Speaker 6: lead in the division, and tonight they go for the
Speaker 6: sweep in Minneapolis. With showhy Otani on the mound, also
Speaker 6: serving as the dh first pitch at four forty with more,
Speaker 6: we head out to the gallop before broadcast booth as
Speaker 6: we say hello to Tim Neverett and Rick Monday.
Speaker 4: Guys, Tim, thank you very much.
Speaker 2: Big differ twenty four hours makes here in Minneapolis, says
Speaker 2: it is a gorgeous evening here. Blue skys, white puffy
Speaker 2: clouds above target field as we get sent for the
Speaker 2: third and final game of this interleague series between the
Speaker 2: Dodgers and the Minnesota Twins. The Dodgers with a chance
Speaker 2: to sweep them after taking the first two games a
Speaker 2: close one two to one on Monday night, last night,
Speaker 2: not so close, twelve to three. The Dodgers running away
Speaker 2: with it, and they'll go behind show Hey Otani on
Speaker 2: the mound and at the plate. He'll be a two
Speaker 2: way player tonight, leading on for the Dodgers and the
Speaker 2: starting pitcher. Show Hey is seven to two with a
Speaker 2: one four to seven e RA. He'll take on right
Speaker 2: handed Joe Ryan. Ryan is five and three with the
Speaker 2: fifth best ERA in the American League at two ninety nine.
Speaker 2: Dodgers fifty one and twenty nine, nine games up in
Speaker 2: the National League West, the Twins four and a half
Speaker 2: back in the American League Central at thirty eight and
Speaker 2: forty three. Last night, Oh, the bats woke up after
Speaker 2: having a bit of a slow stock this series.
Speaker 8: Or they did.
Speaker 7: They tied the season high with seventeen hints, even though
Speaker 7: they left thirteen runners able to score twelve different times.
Speaker 7: And they just continue to play good baseball. That was
Speaker 7: the difference to the Twins, normally a much solid ball club,
Speaker 7: but defensively did not uphold that each of the first
Speaker 7: two games of this series. So the Dodgers, yes, they
Speaker 7: scored first. When they've done that, they're thirty six and
Speaker 7: nine this year. But the Dodgers in a roll. Tim
Speaker 7: They've won twenty the last twenty nine, and tonight they
Speaker 7: reached the halfway point of the season. This is game
Speaker 7: number eighty one.
Speaker 2: Season halfway don you'd have to say the two biggest
Speaker 2: surprises maybe, or the two best stories might be Justin
Speaker 2: Robleski and Andy Piers.
Speaker 7: I tell you what. Robleski last night, seven innings, two runs,
Speaker 7: five hits, gave up a solo home run. But he
Speaker 7: has been a breath of fresh air. He's now five
Speaker 7: and one on the road. He's four and one at home,
Speaker 7: low average against. When he's had trouble with runners in
Speaker 7: scoring position. That's on the pitching side. Look at what
Speaker 7: Andy Pie has has done. Pie has came up with
Speaker 7: a couple of base hits, actually three hits last night,
Speaker 7: on base four different times, including a walk. And then
Speaker 7: there's the defense in the base running for Pi. Hez
Speaker 7: that We're hearing now more and more from scouts say, hey, look,
Speaker 7: this guy's having quite a season.
Speaker 2: Dodgers have the best record in Major League Baseball currently
Speaker 2: fifty one and twenty nine. They also have the best
Speaker 2: road record at twenty five and fifteen. Overall, they've won
Speaker 2: twenty of their last twenty nine games. In spite of
Speaker 2: who's in the lineup and who's out of the lineup,
Speaker 2: the Dodgers just continue to roll.
Speaker 7: And a new face back in the lineup tonight. That's
Speaker 7: been Adulting Rushing, who had to leave after the first
Speaker 7: game the series, hit in the mask with the foul ball,
Speaker 7: so he was undergoing concussion protocol. Heague's got the green light.
Speaker 7: He's batting in the eighth spot tonight, so we see
Speaker 7: Alex call also getting the call in right field as
Speaker 7: Kyle Tucker is still not ready to go with Macy
Speaker 7: Tucker Friday night in the opening game of that series
Speaker 7: in San Diego. With this, Dodger buck club just continues
Speaker 7: to move right along, having won seven of their last ten.
Speaker 7: Only one of the team in the Nationally West is
Speaker 7: above five hundred to last ten. That being well the Padres.
Speaker 7: They'll see him Friday night and Andres have won six of
Speaker 7: their last ten, but they're nine games behind the Dodgers
Speaker 7: in the standings.
Speaker 2: Show Hey Otani going both ways tonight and Joe Ryan,
Speaker 2: the right hander pitching for Minnesota Dodgers and Twins third
Speaker 2: game of this three game series. Dodgers looking to break
Speaker 2: out the brooms here on the road.

Speaker 6: I mean two ninety three of four to fourteen on
Speaker 6: base percentage as the Dodgers rut of the Minnesota Twins
Speaker 6: last night twelve to three.
Speaker 1: This is Kirston's corner with Kirston Watson and.
Speaker 6: Kirston joins us from Minneapolis. Brought to you by Cars
Speaker 6: for Kids. Go to Carsfrokids dot Org. That's cars with
Speaker 6: a K Happy show Hey, Otani day Kirson is he
Speaker 6: makes his start, ain't gonna hit tonight.
Speaker 4: He sure is.
Speaker 9: With the off days tomorrow, they feel really good ass
Speaker 9: to where he's at. And you know, we've seen whether
Speaker 9: it's the last two starts, really the last few as
Speaker 9: much as it's funny because Showe is obviously he's been
Speaker 9: excellent on the mountain this year. He's of course in
Speaker 9: the say young conversation with the National League, but you
Speaker 9: look at those last two and he's given up eight
Speaker 9: runs in the combined two outings, and so things haven't
Speaker 9: in as sharp. They've still been good, but just not
Speaker 9: as sharp as we've kind of gotten used to seeing
Speaker 9: from him this year. And Dave Roberts this afternoon he
Speaker 9: spoke to the media, he was saying what he right now,
Speaker 9: what he's seeing is just kind of a lack in
Speaker 9: that fastball command. So obviously that's what sets things up
Speaker 9: for show Hey. So if he can get back to that.
Speaker 9: We know that he has dealt with some left knee
Speaker 9: inflammation that kept him out the lineup. Then we saw
Speaker 9: we visually have been seeing a blister that he has
Speaker 9: been playing through. Dave Roberts says that it's not a
Speaker 9: concern and he doesn't believe that that's what has necessarily
Speaker 9: led to the drop off in command it has. It's
Speaker 9: going to be covered again tonight and they're expecting it
Speaker 9: not to bleed like we saw it his last outing.
Speaker 4: But I think for show, hey, they're just.
Speaker 9: Kind of like they just want to see him get
Speaker 9: back a little bit back on track, because again, it's
Speaker 9: not that he's been bad, just not as sharp as
Speaker 9: we've gotten used to seeing his last two.
Speaker 6: Looking at the lineup today, Dalton rushing back behind the playe,
Speaker 6: that's certainly a good sight.
Speaker 9: Yeah, he's back and he's feeling better. You know, when
Speaker 9: he spoke to the media immediately I guess after coming
Speaker 9: out of the game with that after taking the foul
Speaker 9: tip off his mask, he had shared that he was
Speaker 9: feeling better. He had had dealt with a concussion in
Speaker 9: the past and this felt a little bit different. But
Speaker 9: immediately after taking that foul ball off his mask, he
Speaker 9: did feel shaken up. The good news is that he
Speaker 9: passed all of the concussion protocols and all of the testing.
Speaker 9: He had to go through it again. Yesterday because you
Speaker 9: have to do it twenty four hours after and as
Speaker 9: we cleared all of that, the Dodgers did stay away
Speaker 9: from him and helped do to just the score of
Speaker 9: the game, but they wanted to him to have a
Speaker 9: full day off. Obviously, Chucky stepped in and was one
Speaker 9: of the two hits, got on base, etc. So they
Speaker 9: feel good about where Dalton is at right now to
Speaker 9: step back in and be behind the play and to
Speaker 9: work with Shohe because Dave was adamant that he would
Speaker 9: like those two two working together while Will Smith is.
Speaker 6: Down, no doubt about it, and the Dodgers getting him
Speaker 6: back is a good sign. And the Dodgers getting out
Speaker 6: of Minnesota with a possible sweet would even look even better,
Speaker 6: especially with the off day tomorrow in San Diego. Kerrison,
Speaker 6: we appreciate it. We'll check in with you after the game.
Speaker 6: Still to come here, I'm Wrongo Casino Dodgers on deck.
Speaker 6: We dive deeper into this pitching matchup. David Vase will
Speaker 6: join us, Charlie Steiner will join us. We've got your
Speaker 6: Dodgers magical moment. Also an injury report, and we'll hear
Speaker 6: from Justin Robleski, who had another great outing yesterday for
Speaker 6: the Dodgers. Is an all star worthy. We'll talk to
Speaker 6: the Dodger leftander coming up in just a little bit.
Speaker 6: But up next, it's your Dodger manager, Dave Roberts. As
Speaker 6: we lead you up to Dodgers and Twins on this Wednesday,
Speaker 6: first pitch at four forty. I'm Tim Kass, the back
Speaker 6: to back World Series champion Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 3: This is Marongo Casino Dodgers on Deck.
Speaker 1: On your home for the blue all season long.
Speaker 6: Marongo Casino Dodgers on Deck continues on this Wednesday afternoon.
Speaker 6: As we lead you up to first pitch from Minneapolis,
Speaker 6: it's the Dodgers and the Twins Rogo Casino Resort and Spa,
Speaker 6: a grand slam before a good time show. Hey O
Speaker 6: Tani Joe Ryan. The pitching matchup, first pitch set for
Speaker 6: four to forty.
Speaker 1: He's the LA Dodger.
Speaker 6: Injury report presented by UCLA Healthy Official Medical partner of
Speaker 6: the Los Angeles Dodgers. Dalton Rushing back in the lineup
Speaker 6: after sitting out last night's game. Kyle Tucker not in
Speaker 6: the lineup, still nursing that soul. Laura mack will Smith
Speaker 6: on the il with the next inflammation to Oscar Hernandez
Speaker 6: on the io at the left hamstring strain.
Speaker 4: He's on a minor league rehabit.
Speaker 6: Sigmon in TRIPAA, Oklahoma City in his first game last
Speaker 6: night with one for three with.
Speaker 4: A two run home run.
Speaker 6: He is looking like he should be ready to turn
Speaker 6: in the next week or so. Won't be a long
Speaker 6: stint on a rehabits Simon Keke, Hernandez, Tyler Glassenow, Blake Snell,
Speaker 6: and when Diaz all on the injured listening and Nack
Speaker 6: is working his way back to a rehabit signment as well,
Speaker 6: So that is trending in the right direction, as is
Speaker 6: Evan Phillips, who hopes to return sometimes before the All
Speaker 6: Star break. All right, let's head back out to Minneapolis
Speaker 6: as we check out the Dodger Skipper.
Speaker 7: Anything else for.
Speaker 9: Questions for Dave Dave?
Speaker 1: Can you just describe Dave?
Speaker 4: Can you talk about the pressure.
Speaker 1: In the dugouts with Dave Roberts.
Speaker 10: I think that, yeah, the last couple haven't been ideal.
Speaker 10: I think what's led to that is, honestly with most
Speaker 10: pitchers is just command. And I think that the fastball
Speaker 10: command hasn't been there to his kind of expectations. The
Speaker 10: sweeper command hasn't been there to his expectations, So I
Speaker 10: think that, Yeah, you know, it's one of those things
Speaker 10: that you know it's not going to continue for too
Speaker 10: much longer. So tonight, I know he's in a good
Speaker 10: place physically, emotionally, mentally, so hopefully it's a good one tonight.
Speaker 9: No part of that being you know, he had talked
Speaker 9: about the knee inflammation and how he's passed that.
Speaker 3: But could a portion of.
Speaker 9: Maybe this lack of command have been due to just
Speaker 9: those things and having to deal with that brit.
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean it's certainly possible. I check in with
Speaker 10: them all the time about the knee and as just
Speaker 10: the training staff, and there's nothing from that from what
Speaker 10: we hear that that's affecting him. So we're certainly keeping
Speaker 10: a watchful eye on him. And you know, he was
Speaker 10: even confident that he should and wanted to hit today,
Speaker 10: So that's a good sign.
Speaker 4: All right.
Speaker 6: There's a manager, Dave Roberts signing about show, hey Otani
Speaker 6: feels good, looks good, ready to go today as a
Speaker 6: two way player as a pitcher and the designated hitter.
Speaker 6: When we continue here on Wrongo Causino Dodgers on Deck,
Speaker 6: we check in with the David may Well lead you

Speaker 1: Joining Tim Kats on Dodgers on Deck.
Speaker 5: I accept everybody for who they are.
Speaker 1: This is Dodger insider David Bassi.
Speaker 4: All right, DV.
Speaker 6: He talked to Kyle Tucker on the pregame show yesterday,
Speaker 6: a great conversation. Everybody can podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 4: But what is the latest on that back.
Speaker 5: Yeah, while we were talking to Dave Roberts, who you
Speaker 5: just heard from, I noticed Kyle Tucker go to the
Speaker 5: bat rack and had his batting gloves on, wrapped a
Speaker 5: bat went back downstairs. So Dave Roberts confirmed that Tucker
Speaker 5: was taking swings today, but it was not going to
Speaker 5: be during batting practice. He did not take BP on
Speaker 5: the field. He did take swings underneath in the hitting cage,
Speaker 5: So that's good news. And Tucker reassured us yesterday that
Speaker 5: he believes he'll be returning to the starting line of
Speaker 5: Friday in San Diego. And for what it's worth, I
Speaker 5: gave him on solicited advice and said, hey, so yeah,
Speaker 5: san Diego might be a good time just to reset
Speaker 5: the back and everything else.
Speaker 4: It is a good advice.
Speaker 8: TV.
Speaker 6: What's the latest on BLA should reset? I wish I
Speaker 6: could reset. I would evolve a day off, David. How
Speaker 6: about Blake Snell? What's the latest on Snell?
Speaker 4: Zella?
Speaker 5: Hello, he's had a few days off and he wants
Speaker 5: to get back and get back to pitching every fifth day.
Speaker 5: And when we were on the last homestand Blake Snell
Speaker 5: did throw ten pitches off the mound and Dave Roberts
Speaker 5: said another one is scheduled for Friday. He's gonna throw
Speaker 5: an all fastball bullpen session, fifteen pitches, and the plan
Speaker 5: is to have Snell throw four bullpen sessions, continuing to
Speaker 5: throw more and more to be ready to face hitters
Speaker 5: and maybe even go out on a rehab assignment. But
Speaker 5: it feels like Snell, we'll be able to pitch in July,
Speaker 5: and I wouldn't roll out before the All Star break.
Speaker 6: David has brought to you by Ford here for those
Speaker 6: who build America, especially those who believe that given everything
Speaker 6: today will pay off tomorrow, those who will drive America

Speaker 6: Ford is offering employee pricing to everyone.
Speaker 4: Go to your southern.
Speaker 6: California Ford dealer today or visit by Ford noow dot
Speaker 6: com for more information. All right, so guys are trending
Speaker 6: in the right direction. How about Will Smith? How's he
Speaker 6: doing well?
Speaker 4: I saw, you know what's incredible.
Speaker 5: I saw Will Smith the first or second day of
Speaker 5: the homestand put on the shin guards.
Speaker 4: He had the mask.
Speaker 5: He was doing a lot of aggressive things to try
Speaker 5: to test to see where that neck was at and
Speaker 5: then all of a sudden, we didn't see him do
Speaker 5: much of anything after that. Nobody has said that Will
Speaker 5: Smith has had a setback, but he is not going
Speaker 5: to be activated when the Dodgers are in San Diego
Speaker 5: or Sacramento. And even more on that front, Dave Roberts said,
Speaker 5: Smith is not doing any baseball activities, so that's a
Speaker 5: little concerning. We're, you know, two and a half three
Speaker 5: weeks since he first had He hasn't played since June fifth,
Speaker 5: so it's gonna be missing quite a bit of time
Speaker 5: here since he hasn't played a game, which is somewhat concerning.
Speaker 5: There's an argument to be made that Will Smith is
Speaker 5: one of those players that the Dodgers cannot replace.
Speaker 6: That is interesting that he is not progressing. David great
Speaker 6: Stuffle check back in with you.
Speaker 4: It just a little bit.
Speaker 6: Devie's gonna go one on one with Justin Robleski coming up.
Speaker 6: You had about fifteen minutes still to come here on
Speaker 6: Wrongo Casino Dodgers on deck as well. We'll get to you,

Speaker 1: one hundred and one.
Speaker 2: I feel great video.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 13: I don't have to go out there anymore. For about
Speaker 13: four months, Sandy, it appeared from upstairs if your fastball
Speaker 13: was really your only pitch for quite some time. Yes,
Speaker 13: it was.
Speaker 7: I don't know what it was that they didn't have
Speaker 7: a curve ball at all, and I wasn't getting it
Speaker 7: over and I just stayed with the fastball and tried
Speaker 7: to get some pretty good spots and I got the lead.
Speaker 7: I tried to keep him from pulling the ball if
Speaker 7: I could.

Speaker 6: moment brought to by Hofey hot Dogs, Haffey Sokow's local
Speaker 6: treasure for nearly one hundred years.
Speaker 4: Hofey hot Dogs, Local and so great.
Speaker 6: When we continue here on Dodgers on Deck, we will
Speaker 6: check out with Charlie Steiner as we're leading up to
Speaker 6: first pitch Dodgers and Twins. I'm Tim Kats' is the
Speaker 6: 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.
Speaker 6: Long, Dodgers and Twins one more time from Minneapolis show.

Speaker 4: good one.

Speaker 6: away exactly from the start of the game. Now, Verizon,
Speaker 6: you can lock in that low price for three years,
Speaker 6: so you can save big. Visit your so calv Verizon
Speaker 6: store Today we sailo to Charlie Steiner.
Speaker 8: Okay, Tim, the Dodgers and the Twins get ready for
Speaker 8: the Dodgers. It's game number eighty, the last game of
Speaker 8: the first half of the season. They're looking for their
Speaker 8: seventh sweep of the year after they crushed the Twins
Speaker 8: last night by a score of twelve to three. So
Speaker 8: the Dodgers begin the day at the halfway mark fifty
Speaker 8: one and twenty nine, a season high twenty two games
Speaker 8: over five hundreds. You know, on the road they're ten
Speaker 8: games over five hundred, twenty five and fifteen. That's the
Speaker 8: best in baseball interleague play nineteen and ten. The Twins
Speaker 8: at thirty eight and forty three in third place in
Speaker 8: the American League Central, four and a half games behind
Speaker 8: the White Sox and more. Just looking at the standis
Speaker 8: tell us a lot of a lot of bits and
Speaker 8: pieces about the state of the game in the American League.
Speaker 8: You have five teams in the race for the wildcard.
Speaker 8: Twins are one of them. Only five teams in the
Speaker 8: American League are over five hundred, and the Dodgers, of course,
Speaker 8: with their big lead nine over the Podres, ten and
Speaker 8: a half over Arizona. They just keep cruising right along.
Speaker 8: At the halfway mark, Charlie, they do. I mean, there's
Speaker 8: no infens a bunch.
Speaker 7: You start to look at the standings and you say,
Speaker 7: oh my goodness, there are a couple of teams that
Speaker 7: stand out head and shoulders. The Dodgers, yes, of course,
Speaker 7: and the numbers just rattle off, and also the Atlanta
Speaker 7: Braves in the National League. But this Dodger ball club, Charlie,
Speaker 7: just continues to go on and on and on. For example,
Speaker 7: last night they score it first when they put the
Speaker 7: run on the board before the other team. They're thirty
Speaker 7: six and nine. They've now won twenty of their last
Speaker 7: twenty nine games. And what's odd When the Dodgers lose,
Speaker 7: everybody thinks, oh my goodness, the sky is falling.
Speaker 8: The Dodgers lead Major League Baseball with the seven eighty
Speaker 8: three ops. They also had the lowest ops against them at.
Speaker 1: Six thirty four.
Speaker 8: So they hit better than anybody else, and they pitch
Speaker 8: any better than anybody else. For all the stats, that's
Speaker 8: what you come up with.
Speaker 7: Yeah, and let me get off of the stats just
Speaker 7: for a second. The first two games of this series,
Speaker 7: and these are conversations that we have with other people
Speaker 7: that are around baseball and see other teams. The point
Speaker 7: that I'm getting to is that Dodgers have just played
Speaker 7: better baseball than the other teams that we have seen
Speaker 7: on a consistent basis. Yes, they have a few here
Speaker 7: and there and say, oh, okay, on off night that
Speaker 7: is going to happen. But for example, the first two
Speaker 7: games of the series, the Dodgers have not only won
Speaker 7: each of the first two, they have outplayed the Minnesota Twins,
Speaker 7: who by the way, played the game pretty darn well
Speaker 7: to begin with. But the head and shoulders, the Dodgers
Speaker 7: have just played the game more alertly than other teams
Speaker 7: that we've seen.
Speaker 8: Who would have thought of the halfway mark of the
Speaker 8: season the Dodgers winning His pitcher would be Justin Robleski,
Speaker 8: who improved his record at nine and two. He retired
Speaker 8: the last fourteen of sixteen batteries that he faced, and
Speaker 8: he's having a Sensational'll say one note, a couple of
Speaker 8: other notes about last night. All ten hitters got on base.
Speaker 8: Every Dodger had a hit, with the exception of Otani, who,
Speaker 8: by the way, is pitching today, but he had a
Speaker 8: sack fly and knocked in his forty fifth run of
Speaker 8: the season. Nine other hitters all had an RBI, and
Speaker 8: the seven, eight and nine hitters call Freeland and Robinson
Speaker 8: when the combined six for twelve scored five of the
Speaker 8: twelve runs. Robinson had two hits and his third sacrifice
Speaker 8: of the year, all that after going oh for eleven.
Speaker 8: So everything is coming up roses for the Dodgers, even
Speaker 8: on the road.
Speaker 13: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Men.
Speaker 7: Tonight, Dalton Rushing returns to the starting line uphill bat
Speaker 7: eighth into the catching a couple of days down after
Speaker 7: taking a foul ball off of the mask and he
Speaker 7: was under really concussion protocols, so he's passed that. He's
Speaker 7: back in the lineup tonight. Still not Kyle Tucker. He
Speaker 7: will probably not see action until Game one, that'd be
Speaker 7: on Friday in San Diego. But all at all, this
Speaker 7: is a book club Charlie the Night. Yes, they're fifty
Speaker 7: one twenty nine, but I get the feeling this is
Speaker 7: a club that wants to not only can continue to
Speaker 7: play good. They want to play even better than they
Speaker 7: are right.
Speaker 8: Now, on a pace to win one hundred and two
Speaker 8: games this year. Otani against Joe Ryan this afternoon tonight. Otani,
Speaker 8: for him, he's been struggling on the mound in the
Speaker 8: month of June two and zero a three thirty eight er.
Speaker 8: Overall on the season, he's seven to two and a
Speaker 8: one forty seven R. So there he is three thirty
Speaker 8: eight ERA on the hill. He's struggling offensively. He's hitting
Speaker 8: three thirty three this month, seven home runs, fourteen runs
Speaker 8: batted in. Again. Otani getting the start tonight.
Speaker 7: He's getting the start and we will find out if
Speaker 7: there are any issues with his left knee while he's
Speaker 7: pitching in tonight's ball game. There's been no issues the
Speaker 7: last thirty two games as a hitter, knee or not
Speaker 7: hitting a three sixty two with ten home runs and
Speaker 7: knocked in twenty eight runs in the last thirty two contests.
Speaker 1: Well.
Speaker 8: The last time the Dodgers in t played in the
Speaker 8: World Series, in fact, the only time nineteen sixty five,
Speaker 8: they won in seven games, Game seven, Cofax won, but
Speaker 8: the story was the game that he did not pitch
Speaker 8: Game one, observing the Jewish high Holiday of Young Kappoor.
Speaker 8: He won Game seven, shutting him out ten strikeouts, three walks,
Speaker 8: and did it on seventy two hours of rest.
Speaker 7: Other than that, just another day at the office for
Speaker 7: the Dodgers pitching, whether you're talking in the past or
Speaker 7: the present.
Speaker 8: And the way things are looking the future too. Lineups
Speaker 8: in first pitch the immediate future coming right up, Tim.

Speaker 6: Dodgers audio broadcast, went.
Speaker 4: Its game day. It's group day at Shakey's dot Com.
Speaker 3: And now what will likely be vess a fielding insults
Speaker 3: from a Dodger player.
Speaker 4: It's an engagement of endearment is high and tight.
Speaker 5: Well, if Justin Robleski's not going to Philadelphia for the
Speaker 5: All Star Game, I don't know if any of them
Speaker 5: should show up. Another great outing for the Dodger left hander,
Speaker 5: and Justin joins us right now. Thanks a lot for
Speaker 5: the time, appreciate it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, no worries, No worries. Be on hey.
Speaker 5: The day after starts or in between starts. You wear eyeglasses,
Speaker 5: so I feel like you're in your Clark Kent mode
Speaker 5: right now. And then when you go out there every
Speaker 5: every week or every fifth day, you just grip it
Speaker 5: and rip it out. Do you wear contacts when you're pitching?
Speaker 13: Yeah?
Speaker 12: I do.
Speaker 10: I do.
Speaker 11: I can't see very well, so that's why I throw
Speaker 11: the ball and I don't hit it anymore. So that's
Speaker 11: all part of it. But yeah, the glasses are just
Speaker 11: way easier than the contact. Contacts dry out, get annoying,
Speaker 11: so or the glasses as long as I can. I mean,
Speaker 11: I'm about to put my contacts on and get my
Speaker 11: work done today. But most most of the time, when
Speaker 11: I'm not at the field, it's glasses, all right.
Speaker 5: I know, when you're on the mound and you're getting
Speaker 5: ready for a start the All Star Game and things
Speaker 5: that are out of your control you don't concern yourself with,
Speaker 5: but it's hard to ignore how good of a first
Speaker 5: half you've had. Are you starting to think about the
Speaker 5: All Star Game?
Speaker 11: I mean, it'd be cool to be a part of it,
Speaker 11: for sure. Obviously it's something you know that's a big
Speaker 11: deal and you want to, you know, put yourself an
Speaker 11: opportunity in a position to kind of, you know, be
Speaker 11: among the names that that are you know, thrown around
Speaker 11: for that.
Speaker 4: That's really cool.
Speaker 11: But at the same time, for me, I think there's
Speaker 11: a lot you know, I can continue to get better at.
Speaker 11: I'm kind of more concerned with, you know, how can
Speaker 11: I improve outing to outing and you know, just month
Speaker 11: to month and getting better and whether it's you know, usage,
Speaker 11: whether it's you know, location, whatever it is, whatever. Maybe
Speaker 11: I think that's kind of my focus, is just trying
Speaker 11: to get better each outing. And you know, again, like
Speaker 11: I said yesterday, wherever the chips fall, if that ends
Speaker 11: up being an All Star game this year, great, but
Speaker 11: it's also just a halfway point the season, so you know,
Speaker 11: after the All Star break is more important. So that's
Speaker 11: what I'm I'm looking forward to.
Speaker 5: And how do you plan on staying strong because obviously
Speaker 5: you're pitching more this year as a starter than a
Speaker 5: versatile pitcher last year. How are you adjusting having this workload?
Speaker 11: Yeah, no, I feel good. I mean last year we
Speaker 11: did a good job with you know, I was up
Speaker 11: and down, but there was a lot of times where
Speaker 11: I was throwing you know, I probably threw a chumuative
Speaker 11: like one hundred and thirty plus innings last year, maybe
Speaker 11: more if you count like the lives and all that
Speaker 11: stuff that we did at the end of the year,
Speaker 11: you know, in the playoffs.
Speaker 4: So I feel good.
Speaker 11: I feel like I'm in a good spot again. It's
Speaker 11: just continuing to hammer the routine, hammer, just sleep and
Speaker 11: all that important stuff. And yeah, just trying to stay
Speaker 11: healthy and just pitch and take the ball every time
Speaker 11: they tell me to.
Speaker 5: So you're talking sleep. That's O Tani's line.
Speaker 4: All sleep.
Speaker 5: So you're a young guy, so you just keep it mellow.
Speaker 5: You get as much sleep as you can do you
Speaker 5: have a certain number of hours.
Speaker 11: I'm not as much of like an hour's guy. I've
Speaker 11: I've worn an or ring sleep track stuff for the
Speaker 11: past you know, five or six years now, so I
Speaker 11: kind of know, like, you know, I need to be
Speaker 11: in bed for nine hours usually, like that's kind of
Speaker 11: like in bed for but usually that equates to like,
Speaker 11: you know, eight and a half eight hours of sleep.
Speaker 11: And you know, obviously I'm not always like the best
Speaker 11: about it, but like at the end of the day,
Speaker 11: like if I can get it within that range, And
Speaker 11: I think I've stut better this year than I have
Speaker 11: in previous years. So it's all, it's all been good,
Speaker 11: and it's again just continue to try to get, you know,
Speaker 11: one percent better in every area. And that's kind of
Speaker 11: an area that I've improved a lot since I started
Speaker 11: tracking it.
Speaker 5: Justin Robleski is our guest, all right, So Robleski pitched
Speaker 5: last night on a national stage. In case you didn't
Speaker 5: know this, the game was on TBS, and we all
Speaker 5: know Pedro Martinez likes to tweet out different things, and
Speaker 5: he gave Justin Robleski a nickname. He said, the Dodgers
Speaker 5: have a lot of great whites in their rotation, but
Speaker 5: Robleski is a shark, and he is now coining you
Speaker 5: the Shark. Can I run with that nickname? What did
Speaker 5: you think that a Hall of Famer like Pedro is
Speaker 5: giving you the nickname the Shark?
Speaker 11: You know, Meggie really likes it, and he thought it
Speaker 11: was really funny, and so he's been running around, you know,
Speaker 11: asking everybody where the Shark is today. Great, so that's
Speaker 11: been pretty funny. But no, in all seriousness, you know,
Speaker 11: anytime you can get you know, you can be even
Speaker 11: talked about by a guy like Pedro, it's super cool.
Speaker 11: And you know, I've been a big, you know fan
Speaker 11: of his, like watching his brother, like his you know
Speaker 11: commentary stuff is cool. And then obviously, you know, I
Speaker 11: go back and I watched some of his oddings when
Speaker 11: I reget the chance, and you know, he was elite,
Speaker 11: arguably one of the best, if not the best picture
Speaker 11: of all time. You know, in an era where it
Speaker 11: was really hard to pitch. He dominated, So it's super cool.
Speaker 10: You know.
Speaker 11: The nickname is funny. I think it's it's it's some Yeah,
Speaker 11: whatever people want to run with, they can run with.
Speaker 11: But yeah, it's it's funny and it's it's obviously super
Speaker 11: cool that to you know, be talked about by someone
Speaker 11: like like Pedro.
Speaker 5: So when we think about great white sharks, we're talking
Speaker 5: about the ultimate predator. Do you feel like that's why
Speaker 5: he thought about you as a shark? Are you the
Speaker 5: predator on the mound going after these hitters?
Speaker 11: And like chum, I can't speculate on what Pedro thought.
Speaker 4: You might have to ask him.
Speaker 5: I don't know what what does that mean to you?
Speaker 13: Though?
Speaker 4: I don't know. It's not my nickname.
Speaker 11: I didn't give it to myself. You know, I can't,
Speaker 11: I can't. I can't speak on what he would give
Speaker 11: me that. You gotta ask him?
Speaker 7: All right?
Speaker 5: So can I run with this? Can I?
Speaker 1: Can?
Speaker 5: I stick with the shark?
Speaker 13: Whatever you want to do?
Speaker 8: Okay?
Speaker 13: All right? Good?
Speaker 5: Glad to know that I could start going forward with
Speaker 5: a Hall of famous nickname for Justin Robleski.
Speaker 11: The shark shark, whatever works man, all.
Speaker 5: Right, love it there. He is Tanner Scott. He's got
Speaker 5: the dorsal fin out for the Shark. Justin Robleski. He'll
Speaker 5: receive a gift card to Jabers. He'll be hunting some
Speaker 5: fine Mexican cuisine in La Jolla, in Pasadena, maybe even
Speaker 5: in Newport Beach.
Speaker 3: Justin.
Speaker 5: Thanks a lot for the time. And you're clubhouse manager,
Speaker 5: Alex Torris, better get that All Star Jersy ready for

Speaker 6: He took a loss against them August ninth, twenty twenty two,
Speaker 6: at Dodger Stadium. He allowed six runs, five of which
Speaker 6: were earned, on nine hits, including a home run, with
Speaker 6: four strikeouts in a Dodgers win.
Speaker 4: Show.
Speaker 6: Hey Otani on the MoU for the Dodgers seven and
Speaker 6: two of the one forty seven ERA. The thirty one
Speaker 6: year old right hander making his thirteenth start this season.
Speaker 6: He is one forty seven R ranked second among starters
Speaker 6: with a minimum of twelve starts, right behind the mizz
Speaker 6: Jacob Mizrawski of the Brewers. Last time out six innings,
Speaker 6: four runs, seven hits, five strikeouts on a win over

Speaker 6: Joe Ryan, Dodgers Twins were fifteen minutes away for first
Speaker 6: pitch keys to the game. Our next, I'm Tim Kates
Speaker 6: is back to back World Series champion Dodgers Audio.
Speaker 3: That one this is Marongo Casino Dodgers on tap on
Speaker 3: your home for.
Speaker 4: The Blue all season Low Clean you up to first pitch.
Speaker 6: Dodgers and Twins from Minneapolis show Hey Otani and Joe
Speaker 6: Ryan the pitching matchup. Getting ready for the start of
Speaker 6: the game with a Sapporo Start Great Moments Start with
Speaker 6: Sapporo Beer, whatever your taste preference. Sapporo has you cover
Speaker 6: with a variety of crisp and refreshing loggers, including light
Speaker 6: and non alcoholic beer. Sapporo Goodwi Sushi, Great with Baseball.
Speaker 6: One final time, back out to the booth before first pitch,
Speaker 6: Tim Never Rick Monday, guess.
Speaker 2: Tam, thanks again. We get you ready for the third
Speaker 2: and final game of this three game set between the
Speaker 2: Dodgers and the Minnesota Twins. The Twins were last swept
Speaker 2: this year at the end of May at Pittsburgh. Hasn't
Speaker 2: happened often to him, but the Dodgers trying to make
Speaker 2: sure that happens tonight behind Shohei Otani, who is looking for,
Speaker 2: by his standards, a bounce back performance. He's allowed seven
Speaker 2: or in runs over his last twelve and two thirds
Speaker 2: innings pitch and his last two starts covering Pittsburgh and
Speaker 2: Tampa Bay. His first starts combined, he only allowed seven.
Speaker 7: When he throws strikes, he's absolutely unhittable. In fact, when
Speaker 7: he's ahead in the count, he's a one to fifty
Speaker 7: six batting average. This really applies to both pitchers tonight,
Speaker 7: including Joe Ryan, a one forty three average when he
Speaker 7: gets a hit. If I'm a hitter on either side
Speaker 7: of the spectrum here tonight, I'm going to be looking
Speaker 7: for a pitch maybe early in the count, that I
Speaker 7: can hit. Joe Ryan challenges hitters very very early, in
Speaker 7: particular the fastball. But that fastball inside has been a
Speaker 7: big weapon in just a one to two batting average against.
Speaker 7: So the Dodgers do they hunt the fast ball inside
Speaker 7: where he's had success. We'll find out in a few minutes.
Speaker 2: One thing too about Joe Ryan. I checked with first
Speaker 2: base coach Chris Woodward about this. He said he's a
Speaker 2: little on the slower side to home plate, so there
Speaker 2: might be a chance, depending on the game situation, for
Speaker 2: the Dodgers to take a back or two against.
Speaker 7: Well, fourteen attempts to steal thirteen at been successful, and
Speaker 7: over the last couple of years, no pitchers allowed. Starting
Speaker 7: pitcher allowed more stolen bases than Joe Ryan.
Speaker 2: Dodgers going for the sweep tonight over the Twins. Lineups
Speaker 2: and first pitch coming up, Tim.
Speaker 4: All right, first pitch, right around the corner. Don't forget.
Speaker 6: I'll be back with all the postgame festivities, including Dodg
Speaker 6: Talk when this one is over. Dodgers going to action
Speaker 6: at fifty one and twenty nine, nine games up on
Speaker 6: the Padres, ten and a half games up on the
Speaker 6: San Diego on the Arizona Dinabacks.
Speaker 4: Both the Padres and the Diamondbacks in action.
Speaker 6: We'll keep you updated on what they're doing as the
Speaker 6: afternoon rolls on.
