Speaker 1: For the back to back World Champions of Baseball.
Speaker 2: One of the greatest runs in the history of baseball.
Speaker 1: Immortality is within their reach. Incredible and while others make excuses.
Speaker 3: The only reason the Dodgers are doing this because they can.
Speaker 3: They printing money. The Dodgers dis can't continue. It's not fair.
Speaker 1: Are making plans.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a singular focus on controlling what they can control.
Speaker 1: Now your pregame host of the World Champion La Dodgers
Speaker 1: Tama Cats.
Speaker 3: Hi, everybody, and good morning. Welcome to Morogo Casino Dodgers
Speaker 3: on Deck on this Wednesday, April eighth. You're back to
Speaker 3: back World champion Los Angeles Dodgers nine to two to
Speaker 3: start the season, winners of now five in a row.
Speaker 3: After a sweep of the Nationals, the Dodgers now go
Speaker 3: for a sweep in Toronto what has been a one
Speaker 3: sided World Series rematch. Today show Hey o Toddy on
Speaker 3: the mount of the series finale, first pitcher Rogers Center
Speaker 3: in Toronto. He is coming up at twelve oh seven.
Speaker 3: Coming up over the next sixty minutes here on Morono
Speaker 3: Casino Dodgers on Deck, you get to hear from Joe
Speaker 3: Davis from Sports in ATLA and Fox. We'll hear from
Speaker 3: the Dodger manager, Dave Roberts. Our own David Vasse checks in.
Speaker 3: Of course, throughout the hour we'll preview this pitch he matchup.
Speaker 3: We got your Dodgers magical moment. Shortly we visit with
Speaker 3: Kirsten Watson from Sports in ATLA, and in just a
Speaker 3: few minutes we will head out to the gallopin Ford.
Speaker 3: Broadcast be with it here from Steven Nelson and Rick Monday. Well, yesterday,
Speaker 3: the Dodgers got a good outing from Yamamoto and another
Speaker 3: win in Toronto. Yoshinobu Yamamoto got the start and he
Speaker 3: picked up right where he left off in the World
Speaker 3: Series last fall. Six innings's one run on five hits,
Speaker 3: struck out six along the way. Yama, remember got the
Speaker 3: wins in Game six and seven over the Blue Jays
Speaker 3: last fall. Was the MVP of the World Series. The
Speaker 3: Dodgers offense, meanwhile, red hot more of the same. Yesterday
Speaker 3: the third show, Hey and RBI single scoring Alex Freeland,
Speaker 3: Dodgers had a one nothing lead. Two batters later, Will
Speaker 3: Smith a fielder's choice, Dodgers up two to nothing. Then
Speaker 3: in the face I sung Kim a lead off walk.
Speaker 3: He got the second on a Kevin Gosman back. Alex
Speaker 3: Freeland then drove him in.
Speaker 5: This would be the sixty first pitch of the game
Speaker 5: from Gossman.
Speaker 6: It's on the way.
Speaker 5: Freeland swings and lines it in the right field, a
Speaker 5: base hit green light for us on Kim. It's bubbled
Speaker 5: in right by Lucas and the Dodgers get an RBI
Speaker 5: single from Alex Freeland to make it a three to
Speaker 5: nothing lead.
Speaker 2: And Steven, what we're seeing again is what you're just
Speaker 2: alluding to a couple of innings ago. Is the bottom
Speaker 2: part of the order that's getting on base to set
Speaker 2: the table for the top of the order.
Speaker 3: And that's exactly what they are doing. RBI single for Freeland.
Speaker 3: He had himself a day, three for three in RBI.
Speaker 3: Dodgers up three to one. Yamamoto meanwhile, was pulled after
Speaker 3: giving up a double and an infield single to begin
Speaker 3: the seventh inning. Alex Vessi a walked pinch hitter David
Speaker 3: Schneider to load the bases, then retired the next three
Speaker 3: batters to get out of the jam. Blake Trining came
Speaker 3: in got the eighth in the ninth, Dodgers tacked on
Speaker 3: one more with two outs. Alex Freeland reached on an
Speaker 3: infield single, advanced the second on a throwing air. Next batter,
Speaker 3: Show Hey Otani drew an intentional walk, so two on
Speaker 3: two out for Kyle Tucker.
Speaker 5: That'd be a big time for Tucker's first hit of
Speaker 5: the night. First pitch from Hoffman, wine drive right field,
Speaker 5: base hit. They're gonna wave Freeland. Here's the throw in
Speaker 5: from Sanchez to play at the play he's safe for
Speaker 5: the head first slide.
Speaker 6: Right on cue, Kyle.
Speaker 5: Tucker comes through an RBI single to get the Dodgers
Speaker 5: some breathing room.
Speaker 6: It's four to one.
Speaker 3: Kyle Tucker delivers Dodgers with an insurance run of four
Speaker 3: to one. The bottom of the ninth belong to Edwin
Speaker 3: Diaz Q the Trumpets who put up a zero. Dodgers
Speaker 3: get the win. They're fifth in a row. Yamamoto the win,
Speaker 3: Diaz the same. Dodgers now nine and two to start
Speaker 3: this season, and today they go for the sweep and
Speaker 3: they look to finish off what will be a perfect
Speaker 3: road trip if they can get the victory. And the
Speaker 3: perfect guy to be on the mound show, Hey o.
Speaker 3: Tony gets to start first pitch of twelve oh seven,
Speaker 3: and with more we head north of the border to
Speaker 3: the Galloping Forward broadcast booth as we say good morning
Speaker 3: to Steven Nelson and Rick Monday, guys, Tim Kates.
Speaker 5: One more for the Dodgers before they fly back home
Speaker 5: here from Canada MO. It has been a productive road trip.
Speaker 5: It has already locked up to be a winning one
Speaker 5: five and oh. They want to make it six and
Speaker 5: oh after last night clinching the series in a much
Speaker 5: closer game Game two compared to the first game of
Speaker 5: this series. But it was great to see the Dodgers
Speaker 5: kind of buckle down again the back of the bullpen.
Speaker 5: Alex Vessia having a moment here in Toronto was really
Speaker 5: special as well. Just a lot to like about this.
Speaker 2: Series, absolutely, and they've taken care of business in a
Speaker 2: very fine way, not only from a pitching aspect. Last night,
Speaker 2: dommoto six innings, one run, just five hits, struck out
Speaker 2: six on top of it, but then the bullpen, as
Speaker 2: you may to Bessie than trying it, and then Edwin Diaz
Speaker 2: picked up his fors a. But I think from an
Speaker 2: offensive standpoint, the Dodgers have really taken the cast, the
Speaker 2: fact that they have a game plan in each of
Speaker 2: the first five games they played on this road trip.
Speaker 2: They have been patient, they've been selective, and obviously enough
Speaker 2: we've talked about it. It's the bottom part of the
Speaker 2: lineup that has been able to get on base and
Speaker 2: allow the top part of the linement to knock in runs.
Speaker 5: It's been the best seven eight to nine in baseball
Speaker 5: by a comfortable margin by measure of ops. And that's
Speaker 5: just bite a couple Dodgers telling me yesterday they feel
Speaker 5: like they're in a great spot, obviously now nine to
Speaker 5: two after the win, but they haven't felt like they
Speaker 5: have totally clicked, which is a scary thing to ponder
Speaker 5: for the rest of the league.
Speaker 6: Now.
Speaker 5: The one thing that kind of took away from the
Speaker 5: luster of last night's win was the news right before
Speaker 5: first pitch that Miguel Rojas had been scratched to tend
Speaker 5: to a family matter. Miguel announced on social media this
Speaker 5: warning that it was his father, also named Miguel Mickey Rojas,
Speaker 5: who passed away suddenly and unexpectedly. And Miguel Rojas is
Speaker 5: still in the lineup here for this series finale.
Speaker 6: There was some.
Speaker 5: Talk about him leaving the team yesterday, but Miguel Rojas
Speaker 5: is wired a little bit different. He's a special individual
Speaker 5: and competitor and teammate. I think it says a lot
Speaker 5: about him mode that he is drawing in there today.
Speaker 2: Well, we cannot get into his heart, but I think
Speaker 2: this is today a tribute to his father and to
Speaker 2: his memory. And I believe his dad was said, son,
Speaker 2: go play the game, and that's what Miguel Rojas wants
Speaker 2: to do. Because on the other part of it, too,
Speaker 2: Miguel does not want to leave part of his other family.
Speaker 2: That's the other guy's in the Dodger uniform, in this organization,
Speaker 2: the people who support him. He understands full well. Is
Speaker 2: at what a significant contribution Obviously he made in Game
Speaker 2: seven of the World Series last year and the ninth
Speaker 2: then he was went out hit the home run to
Speaker 2: tie the game. But this is about I think, involvement,
Speaker 2: about heart, about commitment, and obviously losing a family member.
Speaker 2: It is difficult to lose any of your parents.
Speaker 5: This will be Ross's first start of this series, second appearance,
Speaker 5: because he pitched on the mound in the series opener
Speaker 5: on Monday, but conversation with him. While it's an immeasurable loss,
Speaker 5: Like you said, we cannot get into Rojas or anybody's
Speaker 5: heart for that matter. Hopefully he and his family find
Speaker 5: some strength and comfort in the fact that he made
Speaker 5: his dad proud, you know, by way of his own kids,
Speaker 5: and of course with what he has done on the field.
Speaker 5: And so the Dodgers certainly happy to have Rojas on
Speaker 5: the field with them as they try and finish through
Speaker 5: series strong and complete a second consecutive sweep. We be
Speaker 5: back a little bit later, Tim with the key from home.
Speaker 3: All right, thanks very much, guys. As we lead jump
Speaker 3: to first Bach from Toronto. We're counting you down, Dodger fans,
Speaker 3: get your game day meal on Shaky's Pezza Parlor. That's

Speaker 3: all coming up on this Weday Wednesdays, we lead you
Speaker 3: up to Dodgers and Blue Jays. Dodgers going for the sweep,
Speaker 3: looking to finish off a perfect road trip. First pitch
Speaker 3: from the Rogers Center, four oh seven. Thanks for being
Speaker 3: with us. I'm Tim kas Is the back to back
Speaker 3: world champion Dodgers audio.
Speaker 1: Now, this is Morongo Casino Dodgers hunting game on your
Speaker 1: home for La Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 3: Pits the Dodgers and Toronto Blue Jays on this Wednesday
Speaker 3: showy Otani Dylan sees the pitching matchup. First pitch from
Speaker 3: the Rogers Center, coming up at twelve oh seven. This
Speaker 3: is the Otani rewinde.
Speaker 5: Dodgers threatening here in the top of the third to
Speaker 5: break the ice. Gossman's won a. Otani rifles one to
Speaker 5: write field back at the wall. It's off the top
Speaker 5: of the wall. Kim's gonna score running from first to
Speaker 5: third is Freeland. That was a long and loud single
Speaker 5: for old Toni and it drives in the very first
Speaker 5: run of the ball game.
Speaker 3: One nothing. Dodgers show Hey Otani with the RBI single
Speaker 3: as show heltanis now reached based in forty two straight games.
Speaker 1: This is Kirston's Corner with Kirston Watson and.
Speaker 3: Kirston joins us now live from the Rogers Center in Toronto.
Speaker 3: Final game of the road trip, brought to you by
Speaker 3: Cars for Kids, the easiest way to get rid of
Speaker 3: your old car. Donate today, your car could be picked
Speaker 3: up tomorrow. Donate now at Carsfurkids dot org. That's Cars
Speaker 3: with the K. We'll start right there, Kearson. This Dodgers
Speaker 3: team undefeated on this road trip so far, the sweep
Speaker 3: in Washington, DC, and really dominated the first two games
Speaker 3: against the Blue Jays. I imagine this team would love
Speaker 3: nothing more than have an off day tomorrow and come
Speaker 3: back home with a perfect roadie.
Speaker 7: You know what, They are playing so together so well.
Speaker 7: We're seeing it on all sides of the game. The
Speaker 7: pitching has been fantastic, the bullpen excellent. They've been coming out.
Speaker 7: I think last night when we saw Alex Besia step
Speaker 7: in for Yoshinovyamamoto not only just to save his line,
Speaker 7: but to get out of a basis loaded situation. We
Speaker 7: are seeing so much from this group as a collective
Speaker 7: at the moment, and I think you're right. It is
Speaker 7: a It's so true to how they've been playing, so,
Speaker 7: you know, obviously offensively coming into this road trip, there's
Speaker 7: a lot of talk about the top of the order.
Speaker 7: You know, there was hard contact, but they weren't getting
Speaker 7: the results. We go on the road, we see it
Speaker 7: feels like what fourteen home runs, if not fifteen home
Speaker 7: runs during that National Series and now they've continued over
Speaker 7: here in Toronto. So guys are in a really good spot.
Speaker 7: If Freddie Freeman has said he's just kind of feeling
Speaker 7: more aligned at the play's liking where the ball is going.
Speaker 3: You've got someone like.
Speaker 7: Kyle Tucker when we were in DC, who was talking about,
Speaker 7: you know, kind of getting out of his small little
Speaker 7: fun and this he just had to keep swinging through it.
Speaker 7: Whatever he's doing, keeps swinging. Steven get some contact. Obviously
Speaker 7: the contact was there. And then you have the bottom
Speaker 7: of the order who has been performing so well, whether
Speaker 7: it's been obviously Hasan Kim has rejoined the team with
Speaker 7: movie bets going on the IL, or someone like Alex
Speaker 7: Freelan who has not allowed the results to dictate kind
Speaker 7: of who he is at the plate. Finally getting those
Speaker 7: positive results yesterday was huge for him. But there are
Speaker 7: just so many guys that are in such a good
Speaker 7: spot right now and we're seeing that in the win column,
Speaker 7: and they want to keep it going. Definitely here today
Speaker 7: and as you said, to close this road trip, undefeated would.
Speaker 3: Be nice looking at the lineup today. Miguel Rojas back
Speaker 3: in the lineup, but with a heavy heart.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 7: So last night he was elate scratches right before first pitch,
Speaker 7: received some really heartbreaking news about the passing of his father.
Speaker 7: There was some thought that maybe he would potentially leave
Speaker 7: the team, maybe either last night or even today. He
Speaker 7: did stick around last night, just pretty much date in
Speaker 7: the clubhouse, had some time to himself, but of course
Speaker 7: his teammates and everyone here has been wrapping their arms
Speaker 7: around him with a heavy heart. But he made it
Speaker 7: clear to Dave Roberts that he wanted to be in
Speaker 7: the lineup today. So he's out there playing short this afternoon.
Speaker 7: Of course, with the off day tomorrow and with the
Speaker 7: team traveling back to Los Angeles, there is a chance
Speaker 7: that if he decides he would like to be away
Speaker 7: from the team to be with his family over the weekend,
Speaker 7: he could be placed on the bereavement list and then
Speaker 7: they would make a roster move bringing someone to fill
Speaker 7: in his spot while he's away, but they're really going
Speaker 7: to just let Miguel Rojas kind of take the lead.
Speaker 7: He is someone who you know, he wants to show
Speaker 7: up for his team, he wants to show up for
Speaker 7: his family.
Speaker 3: So right now.
Speaker 7: Everyone is just kind of keeping their arms trapped around him,
Speaker 7: but you know, really happy that he chose that he
Speaker 7: wanted to be here and wants to be out there,
Speaker 7: and if this is the distraction, then hey, so be
Speaker 7: it and hopefully go out there and have a really
Speaker 7: good day at the plate.
Speaker 3: No doubt Dodger Nation putting their arms around Miguel Rojas today, Kirsten.
Speaker 3: We appreciate it. Well, check in with you after the game.
Speaker 3: Still to come here on WRONGO because you know Dodgers
Speaker 3: on Dekel dive deeper to this pitcheet matchup. David vat
Speaker 3: Sago's one on one with Joe Davis from Sports and
Speaker 3: at LA. But I'm next to get you an injury
Speaker 3: report and we'll hear from Dodger manager Dave Roberts. It's
Speaker 3: the Dodgers and Blue Jays on this Wednesday, first pitch
Speaker 3: at twelve oh seven. I'm Tim Katson's the back to
Speaker 3: back World champion Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 1: This is Marongo Casino Dodgers on dech on, your home
Speaker 1: for the Blue all season long.
Speaker 3: Morongo Casino Dodgers on Deck continues on this Wednesday, as
Speaker 3: we are leading you up to first pitch. Dodgers and
Speaker 3: Blue Jays final game of this three games set, final
Speaker 3: game of this road trip, Morongo Casino Resort and Spa
Speaker 3: a grand slam for good time show. Hey O Tomyo
Speaker 3: on the mound, first pitch at twelve oh seven.
Speaker 1: It's the LA Dodgers Injury Report.
Speaker 3: Presented by UCLA Healthy, Official medical partner of the Los
Speaker 3: Angeles Dodgers. Mookie Bets on the IL with you oblique train.
Speaker 3: Tommy Edmunds starting the season on the IL. Blake Snell
Speaker 3: starting the year on the IL. Brock Stewart's our Graderol
Speaker 3: landon NAG, Gavin Stone, Evan Phillips also on the IL,
Speaker 3: as is Keiky Hernandez to start the season, but should
Speaker 3: be going off the IL as soon as he can
Speaker 3: after the sixty days expires. All right, let's head back
Speaker 3: up north of the border in to Toronto and check
Speaker 3: in with the Dodger manager. Any questions for Dave.
Speaker 6: Dave, can you just describe Dave?
Speaker 3: Can you talk about the pressure in the.
Speaker 1: Dugouts with Dave Roberts.
Speaker 8: You know, I don't know, you know, my assumption is
Speaker 8: that they'll be a leave, you know, of absence, but
Speaker 8: you know, he's got family in Venezuela, he's got family
Speaker 8: in Miami. So I'm just not sure, you know, what
Speaker 8: his plan is. And I think for us obviously having
Speaker 8: the off day tomorrow, but just leaving it in his
Speaker 8: hands and you know, us as an organization just reading
Speaker 8: and reacting to whatever.
Speaker 6: Decision he makes.
Speaker 1: Has that for him.
Speaker 7: Does he come to you saying he wanted to be
Speaker 7: out there today?
Speaker 8: Yeah? Yeah, I had a conversation with him last night
Speaker 8: and he said he really wanted to be in there
Speaker 8: tonight and or Yeah. So then for me, obviously I
Speaker 8: was gonna kind of he was in the lineup yesterday
Speaker 8: and for him to feel like he can go out
Speaker 8: there and play in a big league ball game, whether
Speaker 8: it's a distraction, doing it in honor of his father,
Speaker 8: you know, for whatever reason, I heard that and I
Speaker 8: felt it's important.
Speaker 6: To get him in there.
Speaker 1: Tony.
Speaker 7: It's Tani today when we look at his last outing here,
Speaker 7: and I think you can say it's fair that it
Speaker 7: probably wasn't his best outing in Game seven in the
Speaker 7: World Series. Do you see him as someone who does
Speaker 7: kind of want to right his wrongs here or just
Speaker 7: even find a way to kind of leave him with
Speaker 7: a positive.
Speaker 6: Performance is on the mound?
Speaker 8: I think so. You know, he might not admit that,
Speaker 8: but you know, you're always looking for something to kind
Speaker 8: of fuel that fire, and he was certainly on very
Speaker 8: short rest in Game seven. I don't think he would
Speaker 8: change the result, but you know, his last outing here
Speaker 8: wasn't memorable as far as just the pitching for performance.
Speaker 8: So I do think there's something in him to say, hey,
Speaker 8: you know what, I'm gonna kind of pitch well here
Speaker 8: and whatever that means or whatever that looks like, we'll see.
Speaker 3: All right, there's the manager, Dave Roberts. When we continue
Speaker 3: here on Marongo Casino, Dodgers on deck, David Vass will
Speaker 3: join us fresh from speaking with Miguel Rojas. You'll hear

Speaker 1: I accept everybody for who they are. This is Dodger
Speaker 1: insider David Vasse.
Speaker 6: All right, DV.
Speaker 3: The big story Miguel Rojas, and I know you had
Speaker 3: just a few minutes ago a chance to catch.
Speaker 6: Up with him.
Speaker 4: Yeah, playing with a heavy heart. Dave Roberts said yesterday
Speaker 4: there is a chance that Rojas may leave the team
Speaker 4: starting today, but Rojas gave us some clarity on why
Speaker 4: he's playing and had a chance to catch up with
Speaker 4: him just about twenty minutes ago.
Speaker 9: I wanted to play yesterday, but kind of Freddy and
Speaker 9: Dog took it out of my hands because I know
Speaker 9: it was going to be difficult to stay in the
Speaker 9: game and have my head there. But I always have
Speaker 9: something that I always say, they raised me up and
Speaker 9: they give up everything of their life for me to
Speaker 9: be a baseball player. This is what they want me
Speaker 9: to do. And they know how almost pride I take
Speaker 9: and join up every day and not leaving my teammates down.
Speaker 9: So I was feeling in between, but I appreciate Dog
Speaker 9: and Freddie. They talked to me, and I went back
Speaker 9: to the hotel and I was able to be there
Speaker 9: for the people who really care about him and me
Speaker 9: and my family. So even through the phone I was
Speaker 9: able to help a lot of people back in Venezuela.
Speaker 6: When was the last time you spoke to your father?
Speaker 9: I spoke to I spoke to him in the afternoon.
Speaker 6: He was doing good.
Speaker 9: He sent me a picture of himself laying down in
Speaker 9: bed waiting for the game. He was really excited to
Speaker 9: watch me play. That's the things that he wrote to me.
Speaker 9: And then all of this all and I received a
Speaker 9: call from my from one family member right before the game.
Speaker 9: I didn't answer because I was getting ready for the game,
Speaker 9: and he sent me a test message saying that I
Speaker 9: should communicate quick to some family members over there in
Speaker 9: Venezuela because my dad was rushing to the hospital. And
Speaker 9: then that's when I knew it was serious. And and
Speaker 9: I mean the rest is what I told you guys.
Speaker 4: Obviously, very emotional, Miguel Rojas him and in Venezuela, Miguel
Speaker 4: explained it to us. After a person passes away, the
Speaker 4: funeral is the very next day. So the funeral for
Speaker 4: his father is happened today. He's not going to be
Speaker 4: able to get there, obviously, and that's why he's still
Speaker 4: deciding whether or not he is going to leave the
Speaker 4: team after the team returns to Los Angeles, because there's
Speaker 4: not much he can do right now except carry on
Speaker 4: his father's memory by playing a game that his father
Speaker 4: loved watching him play.
Speaker 3: Well, Dodger Nation, no doubt, thinking of Miguel and his
Speaker 3: family today. David is brought to you by the Fort

Speaker 3: Show Hey Otani on the mound today, David at the
Speaker 3: Rogers Center, And the last time he pitched there north
Speaker 3: of the border, didn't have a great outing.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And it was Bob Baschett hitting the three run
Speaker 4: home run off of Otani. And I asked other Japanese
Speaker 4: reporters that have been covering him since high school whether
Speaker 4: or not that was the most vulnerable and defeated they
Speaker 4: had ever seen show Hey Otani on a baseball field,
Speaker 4: and they said absolutely, We've never seen him double over
Speaker 4: on the mound before. And Otani was walking into the
Speaker 4: clubhouse behind me today and I had no idea he
Speaker 4: was behind me, and then he started to make some
Speaker 4: noises and I realized he was there. I saw him
Speaker 4: a couple of times in the clubhouse pass by me,
Speaker 4: and he was in really good spirits. One of those
Speaker 4: guys that he had the smirk on his face that
Speaker 4: he's ready to not only erase the memories of his
Speaker 4: start in Game seven, but maybe even take some prisoners
Speaker 4: today on the mound here in Toronto. So the Dodgers,
Speaker 4: Otani's got that look. I'm not going to say the
Speaker 4: eye of the Tiger tim but he's got that look
Speaker 4: for a good day.
Speaker 3: Dav real quick. Anything new with Mookie Bets.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know he's out here taking some infield drills.
Speaker 4: He's not really doing anything more than that, Dave Roberts said,
Speaker 4: he's leaving it in the hands of the trainers when
Speaker 4: Mookie beds swing bat, So we'll see where it goes
Speaker 4: when the team returns to LA and doesn't seem like
Speaker 4: he's anywhere close to swinging a bat just yet.

Speaker 3: top of the ninth of the Dodgers, two outs away
Speaker 3: from elimination. They go on and win the World Series
Speaker 3: last November one, in eleven innings. This Hafey magical moment
Speaker 3: brought to you by Hoffey hot Dogs Haffey sokw's local
Speaker 3: treasure for nearly one hundred years Offfey hot Dogs, Local
Speaker 3: and so great. When we continue here on Dodgers on Deck,
Speaker 3: we'll check you in with a Rick Monday as we
Speaker 3: lead you up to first pitch. Dodgers and Blue Jays
Speaker 3: on this Wednesday. I'm Tim Kas's the back to back
Speaker 3: world champion Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 1: This is Marongo Casino Dodgers on Tap on your home
Speaker 1: for the Blue All Season Law Law.
Speaker 3: It's the Dodgers and Toronto Blue Jay's final game of
Speaker 3: this three game sent from the Rogers Center show. Hey
Speaker 3: Otani on the Mountain. Time for the Verizon startup. As
Speaker 3: we are thirty two minutes away from the start of
Speaker 3: the game. Now, Verizon, you can lock in your low
Speaker 3: price for three years, so you can save big. Visit
Speaker 3: the Verizon store today.
Speaker 1: And now joined by David Bassey, here's La Dodgers broadcaster
Speaker 1: and World Series champion Dodger Rick Monday.
Speaker 4: All right, Rick, final game in Toronto. The Dodgers looking
Speaker 4: to go perfect on this road trip, and they got
Speaker 4: the right guy on the mount today.
Speaker 2: Well, I think. And for those that are wondering what
Speaker 2: are we talking about, Shoe, Hey, Otani is going to start,
Speaker 2: and this Dodger ball club up to a very good start,
Speaker 2: no question about it. And you know, you look at
Speaker 2: the National Western Division. You have three teams that are
Speaker 2: four games behind the Dodgers already, that being San Diego, Arizona, Colorado,
Speaker 2: and then the Giants who are two and seven at home.
Speaker 2: The Giants are five and a half games out, and
Speaker 2: I think this afternoon, obviously there's a chance to make
Speaker 2: the sweep, not only this series. But as you said
Speaker 2: of the road trip, I'll say this, we were not
Speaker 2: expecting the Nationals to put up a great fight. Quite frankly,
Speaker 2: in particular out of the bullpen. But I think it
Speaker 2: has been very surprising each of the first two games
Speaker 2: up here against the Toronto Blue Jays. And yes, they
Speaker 2: have multiple injuries that affected their roster. There's no if
Speaker 2: and butts about it. The Dodgers had some entries on
Speaker 2: top of it, but the Dodgers, quite frankly, this entire
Speaker 2: road trip had just taken care of business.
Speaker 4: What's it been like for you, Rick to come back
Speaker 4: to Toronto where you broadcast the seven game World Series
Speaker 4: in a similar vantage point, It.
Speaker 2: Was fine until this morning, and I mean that. Getting
Speaker 2: my luggage down to the lobby, I was reminded of
Speaker 2: nineteen eighty one by the bellman and someone else who
Speaker 2: was in the lobby and heard it on the elevator
Speaker 2: as well. I thought I was going to make a
Speaker 2: clean exit. That did not happen. So we had some
Speaker 2: nice conversations about nineteen eighty one, and the guy looked
Speaker 2: at the bag tag as you're the guy, and I went,
Speaker 2: I don't know what you mean, and he smiled.
Speaker 6: He goes, no, you know you were the guy.
Speaker 2: I said, no, it was all of us that did.
Speaker 6: It exactly right.
Speaker 4: I remember Fernando Venezuela being very proud of the fact
Speaker 4: that he drove in the tying run, so before your
Speaker 4: home run, and you were the guy that scored, and
Speaker 4: I was.
Speaker 2: The one that scored from third base. On top of that, Yes,
Speaker 2: Fernando was one of the really gifted players, not just
Speaker 2: not from a pitching standpoint, but he could also hold
Speaker 2: his own with the bat. Yes, he did knock in
Speaker 2: that first run of the ballgame and game in the
Speaker 2: final game of the series in Montreal against the Expos.
Speaker 2: And keep in mind, too, is that the World Series
Speaker 2: was going to get under way the next night in
Speaker 2: New York. The Yankees had already clinched Sunday's game Dodgers
Speaker 2: and Expos had been rain slash snowed out. We played
Speaker 2: on Monday. World Series started on Tuesday, and.
Speaker 4: You got some redemption against the Yankees back in nineteen
Speaker 4: seventy seven.
Speaker 2: But keep in mind, we lost the first two games
Speaker 2: of that World Series in nineteen eighty one.
Speaker 4: Weren't you guys down in every series in the postseason.
Speaker 2: We got down two games to none against the Astros
Speaker 2: to begin with, drop both games in Houston with a
Speaker 2: walk off home run. I think Denny Walling hit a
Speaker 2: home run, and then we lost the second game. I
Speaker 2: believe the ninth thenning and I think Dave Stewart was
Speaker 2: the picture in both of those games. Not dependent on Dave.
Speaker 2: You did a wonderful job. The Astros were just lights out.
Speaker 2: We did not read any newspapers or turn on the
Speaker 2: television or radio. Well, we got back to La and
Speaker 2: then we came back and won three. Row had to
Speaker 2: beat Nolan Ryan in order to advance.
Speaker 6: Oh, only Nolan Ryan.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that guy, that guy.
Speaker 4: Well, today, the Dodgers are wrapping this up, and I'm
Speaker 4: sure you can appreciate the fact, I know you and
Speaker 4: Stephen Nell and touched on this that Miguel Rojas is
Speaker 4: playing with a heavy heart the passing of his father
Speaker 4: last night.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and he is in that lineup today, and Miguel
Speaker 2: is and I think he just wants to honor his dad.
Speaker 2: And he would probably be the first to tell you
Speaker 2: is that Dad would have said to him, son, go
Speaker 2: play the game.
Speaker 4: No doubt that's the best way to honor his father.
Speaker 4: Rick look forward to a Dodger sweep. We'll check back
Speaker 4: in with you and Steven Nelson a little bit later.
Speaker 2: Can't wait to get through the airport and get on
Speaker 2: the plane.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'll stay a little bit behind you. Rick, We're
Speaker 4: not out of here.
Speaker 1: Ye.
Speaker 6: At least three paces willsten it back to you in
Speaker 6: the studio.

Speaker 3: the voice of Major League Baseball on Fox, the TV
Speaker 3: Voice of the Dodgers, Joe Davis. Next, so it leads
Speaker 3: up to first pitch in Toronto of Tim Kates is
Speaker 3: a back to back world champion Dodgers Audio Networks.
Speaker 1: As we were saying, this is Marongo Casino Dodgers on
Speaker 1: tack on the official home of La Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 3: It's the Dodgers and Balloon Jays Show. Hey Otani and
Speaker 3: Dylan Ceza pitching matchup Todgers Baseball trought to you by
Speaker 3: Shaky's Pizza Parlor. It's almost lunchtime. What are you doing
Speaker 3: for lunch? The official pizza partner of the Dodgers audio
Speaker 3: broadcast is Shaky's. When it's game day, it's group day
Speaker 3: at Shaky's Dot Com.
Speaker 1: And now what will likely be vast a fielding insults
Speaker 1: from a Dodger player.
Speaker 3: It's an engagement of endearment.
Speaker 1: This is high and tight.
Speaker 4: Well, we're back in Toronto for the first time since
Speaker 4: the Dodgers one Game seven of the World Series, closing
Speaker 4: out this series, and we're endowing right now by man.
Speaker 4: That was the soundtrack to last year's World Series. And
Speaker 4: that's our buddy, Joe Davis. Joe, thanks a lot for
Speaker 4: the time, Dave, of course, Yeah, I mean I thought
Speaker 4: about you, I thought about Muncie, I thought about Rojas.
Speaker 3: But in that order, right, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: oh yeah.
Speaker 2: Sure.
Speaker 4: When you came back here and you settled into your
Speaker 4: broadcast booth, what kind of memories did you have about
Speaker 4: last year?
Speaker 10: Just how crazy it was here right from the Canadian
Speaker 10: National Anthem where the whole place is singing it, you know,
Speaker 10: talking to the guys that before the game's here and
Speaker 10: so and they remember back to playing catch half an
Speaker 10: hour before the game. They couldn't hear themselves talk it
Speaker 10: was so loud. So more just the feel of the environment.
Speaker 10: And then to come here in the regular season and
Speaker 10: it's kind of flat. It's a reminder how special that
Speaker 10: was last October.
Speaker 4: Can you take us into Dave Roberts's office before Game seven?
Speaker 4: What was his mood before Game seven when you and
Speaker 4: John Smoltz met with him?
Speaker 6: It was tense in there.
Speaker 10: What I remember about that as John asking, hey, so
Speaker 10: all hands on deck tonight minus Hamamoto of course, and
Speaker 10: they have kind of smiled and said, I wouldn't be
Speaker 10: so sure.
Speaker 6: Wow, just simply all hands on deck.
Speaker 10: So talking through the pitching plan and getting that news
Speaker 10: that there was a chance that we would see him
Speaker 10: when it seemed like, of course not. That's something I'll
Speaker 10: never forget.
Speaker 4: So when Yamamoto came out and you saw him warming
Speaker 4: up in the bullpen, initially you and John Smoltz were
Speaker 4: not surprised.
Speaker 10: No, we were I guess I wouldn't say we weren't surprised,
Speaker 10: because I think even when you hear that he's available,
Speaker 10: it's still like, well see, but to see him, yeah,
Speaker 10: to see him warming up. We had heard from Dave
Speaker 10: Roberts that there was a chance he was going to
Speaker 10: be available for him, and even though it seemed crazy,
Speaker 10: there was.
Speaker 4: Joe Davis is our guest, all right, So these magical
Speaker 4: moments happened, so many of them. Yeah, the Rojas home run,
Speaker 4: your call will live on forever. In those moments, I
Speaker 4: mean it felt.
Speaker 10: Like it was raw emotion like we all had, yeah,
Speaker 10: the Rojas home run in particular. So I don't love
Speaker 10: the call just from like a play by play x's
Speaker 10: and o's standpoint.
Speaker 6: You know, play by play one oh one. I think
Speaker 6: it should have had a cap to the end of it.
Speaker 10: But I guess what I do like about it is
Speaker 10: that it was just raw surprise, genuine authentic shock at
Speaker 10: what I was seeing. I think everybody in the world
Speaker 10: was focused on the on deck circle and then he
Speaker 10: popped it, and it just it wasn't the perfect call,
Speaker 10: but I guess it was appropriate and that it was real.
Speaker 6: It was exactly what I was feeling at the moment. Yeah,
Speaker 6: that's why it is perfect.
Speaker 4: Your call reflected how all the viewers were feeling.
Speaker 6: Yeah, right, And I guess that's what you hope for.
Speaker 6: You hope that you know. I think that at the
Speaker 6: end of the day.
Speaker 10: In my job, we talk about what the perfect call
Speaker 10: is and what you want to do in the job
Speaker 10: and what it calls for.
Speaker 6: But I think.
Speaker 10: Ultimately you want to be somebody who's sitting there and
Speaker 10: folks feel like they're sitting there having a beer watching
Speaker 10: the game with you.
Speaker 6: So anyway that you can touch on that, I guess
Speaker 6: is a win. You have kids, you're in the community.
Speaker 4: I'm not sure if you've heard this, but I have.
Speaker 4: What's it like for you now at a point where
Speaker 4: you've called so many memorable moments, but the final out
Speaker 4: of last year's World Series, I hear kids on the
Speaker 4: playground repeating your call with Mookie BET's game ending double play.
Speaker 6: Has that resonated with you? Are you even aware of that?
Speaker 10: No, that means a lot to hear that, but it
Speaker 10: does resonate. I think you I grew up wanting to
Speaker 10: do this job, and part of what is special about
Speaker 10: the job when you're with a team. Is that connection
Speaker 10: that you get with a fan base and something I
Speaker 10: could have never anticipated growing up in Michigan. But not
Speaker 10: just being connected to a fan base, but this connection
Speaker 10: you feel like you have with an entire city.
Speaker 6: Like Los Angeles. Yeah, it's hard to really put into
Speaker 6: words what that means. Thanks a lot for the time.
Speaker 6: Thanks for sharing those great stories with us.
Speaker 4: And suddenly everybody wants to know the behind the scenes
Speaker 4: of that game seven.
Speaker 6: Yeah, of course today if anytime there he.
Speaker 4: Is the man, Joe Davis, and he'll receive a gift
Speaker 4: card to Capitol Grill. He might even go see my
Speaker 4: buddies in Burbank. Tim, we'll send it back to you
Speaker 4: in the studio.
Speaker 3: All right, Thank you, David. Great to hear from Joe Davis.
Speaker 3: Maybe we'll see him in Burbank. Dodgers Baseball presented by
Speaker 3: Unico Field at Dodgers Stadium. Visit Unicloid dot com slash us.
Speaker 3: So we lead you out to first pitch on this Wednesday,
Speaker 3: final game of the series, final game of the road
Speaker 3: trip Dodgers in Toronto to take on the Blue Jays.
Speaker 3: Up next, we'll break down this pitching matchup. Don't go anywhere.
Speaker 3: I'm Tim Cases, the back to back World champion Dodgers
Speaker 3: Audio Network.
Speaker 1: Well, this is Morongo Casino Dodgers Hunt game on your
Speaker 1: home for La Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 3: Dodgers and Blue Jays from Toronto. First pitch coming up
Speaker 3: in twelve oh seven.
Speaker 1: And now before the Dodgers hit the Dina, we look
Speaker 1: at the pitching match.
Speaker 3: Up, brought to you by your Toyota dealers. We make
Speaker 3: it easy. Dylan Sees on the mound, thirty year old
Speaker 3: righthander eights the year in the Big Leagues, White Socks,
Speaker 3: Padres and now his first year after signing a seven year,
Speaker 3: two hundred ten million dollars deal with the Blue Jays.
Speaker 3: His last past offseason. His first start five and a
Speaker 3: third innings, one run, three hits, twelve strikeouts, no decision
Speaker 3: against the Athletics. Then when four and thirty indings and
Speaker 3: a no decision against the White Sox, making his eighth
Speaker 3: career start against the Dodgers. Show Hey Otani on the mount,
Speaker 3: making his second start, first start with six shutout innings
Speaker 3: against the Guardians last week. He lot just one hit
Speaker 3: while striking out six, currently riding a twenty two to
Speaker 3: two thirds scoreless inning streak on the mound. He has
Speaker 3: not a lot of run since the third inning of
Speaker 3: the game against the Reds back on August twenty seventh
Speaker 3: last year. He has been on the mound three times
Speaker 3: against the Blue Jays in the regular season with the
Speaker 3: Angels and twice in the postseason with the Dodgers. Dodgers
Speaker 3: and Blue Jays were fifteen minutes away from first pitch.
Speaker 3: Keys to the game. Our next I'm Tim Kates is
Speaker 3: the back to back World champion Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 1: This is Marongo Casino Dodgers on Tack on your Home
Speaker 1: for the Blue All season.
Speaker 3: Long Dodgers Blue Jays show. Hey Otani Dylan sees the
Speaker 3: pitching match up. Getting ready for the start of the
Speaker 3: game with a Sapporo start Great moments. Start with Sapporo
Speaker 3: beer at whatever your taste preference, so Poro aws you
Speaker 3: cover with a variety of crisp and refreshing loggers, including
Speaker 3: light and non alcoholic beer. Soaporo good with sushi, but
Speaker 3: great with baseball. Before first pitch, back out to the booth.
Speaker 3: Stephen Nelson, Rick Monday, guys, all right TC.
Speaker 5: Getting closer to the first pitch In this one a
Speaker 5: familiar foe for the Dodgers. It's Dylan Cees, the former
Speaker 5: San Diego padre, now in his first year with the
Speaker 5: Blue Jays. He will start for Toronto opposite shoh Oltani,
Speaker 5: making his second turn of the year.
Speaker 3: Moe, you're big key.
Speaker 2: I think the Dodgers have to do what they've done
Speaker 2: so far on this road trip, in particular the starting
Speaker 2: pitches that they have seen good off speed stuff. That's
Speaker 2: the story with Dylan Sees. In fact, if you look
Speaker 2: the last two years, he's thrown more off speed pitches
Speaker 2: than any other starter in Major League Baseball. So be
Speaker 2: ready for the off speed, including the slider, and he
Speaker 2: throws that very often and very effectively. He has not
Speaker 2: had a record in the first two starts of the season.
Speaker 6: For show.
Speaker 2: Hey Otani, we go back also talking about him ceased
Speaker 2: with the breaking ball. Went back and looked at Otani.
Speaker 2: His curve ball was really a big out pitch for
Speaker 2: him in that game that he pitched against Cleveland, where
Speaker 2: by the way, he went six shutout innings, did not
Speaker 2: give up a base hit only one of the ball
Speaker 2: game of those six innings that was a fourth inning double.
Speaker 2: Other than that, he was just absolutely sparkling.
Speaker 5: He has the longest active on bass streak forty two
Speaker 5: games at the plate. He also has the longest active
Speaker 5: scoreless inning streak in baseball at twenty two in two
Speaker 5: thirds innings. He is just a marvel and will be
Speaker 5: treated to him here again today in Toronto. First start
Speaker 5: here obviously since Game seven of the World Series. He
Speaker 5: pitched on short rest then two and a third innings,
Speaker 5: gave up three earned runs of that one Bolbushett home run,
Speaker 5: he just demolished a sweeper to left center field. Ultimately,
Speaker 5: though the Dodgers, as we all remember well tim were
Speaker 5: able to come back and win back to back World
Speaker 5: Series championships. They have a chance today to win back
Speaker 5: to back series via the sweep and make it a
Speaker 5: truly happy and perfect road trip before heading back home
Speaker 5: to Los Angeles.
Speaker 3: All right, thank you, Steven. Dodgers fans. Sad news to
Speaker 3: pass along on this Wednesday morning. Davy Lops, member of
Speaker 3: the Dodgers record setting in field the nineteen seventies and
Speaker 3: the nineteen eighties, passed away today at the age of eighty.
Speaker 3: The team just announced this a few minutes ago. In
Speaker 3: ten seasons with the Dodgers from nineteen seventy two to
Speaker 3: nineteen eighty one. Davey Lops was a four time All
Speaker 3: Star appeared in four World Series, winning it in nineteen
Speaker 3: eighty one. No Dodger has played more games at second
Speaker 3: base than Davy Loops in their career. Only Morey Wills
Speaker 3: has batted more leadoffs for the Dodgers in the history
Speaker 3: of their organization. Davey Lops joined Steve Garvey, Bill Russell,
Speaker 3: and Ron Say for eight and a half seasons together
Speaker 3: as the Dodger infield. So more in the loss of
Speaker 3: the great Davy Lopes passing away at the age of eighty.
Speaker 3: Coming up first pitch from Toronto Dodgers in Blue Jays,
Speaker 3: I'm Tim Kase. This has been Morongo Casino Dodgers on
