00:00:00.200 --> 00:00:07.200
And now your host for Marongo Casino
Dodgers on Deck, Case tam Case,

2
00:00:07.879 --> 00:00:13.279
Hi, everybody, and welcome in
two Morongo Casino Dodgers on Deck. I

3
00:00:13.320 --> 00:00:17.800
hope you're well on this Tuesday and
night. You're Los Angeles Dodgers forty one

4
00:00:17.920 --> 00:00:22.359
and twenty six on this season.
After a five hundred road trip that saw

5
00:00:22.399 --> 00:00:26.039
the Dodgers lose two to three in
pittsber but then go into the Bronx and

6
00:00:26.079 --> 00:00:29.719
take two of three from the Yankees. Well tonight they're back home for the

7
00:00:29.760 --> 00:00:34.880
start of a six game homestand first
up a three game interleague series against the

8
00:00:34.920 --> 00:00:38.640
Texas Rangers. James Paxton, the
Big Maple, the left hander on the

9
00:00:38.640 --> 00:00:42.560
mound for the Dodgers. First pitches
coming up at seven to ten. Between

10
00:00:42.600 --> 00:00:45.119
then and now, we got a
lot to get to here. On Wrongo

11
00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:49.200
Casino Dodgers on Deck, we'll hear
from the Dodger manager, Dave Roberts.

12
00:00:49.200 --> 00:00:54.240
We'll preview this pitching matchup. David
veassegoes one on one with Brad Paisley.

13
00:00:54.359 --> 00:00:59.399
Yeah, country musicians, superstar and
Dodger fans. Shortly, we'll hear from

14
00:00:59.439 --> 00:01:02.039
Kirsten W. Jason in just a
few minutes, we'll check in with Rick

15
00:01:02.119 --> 00:01:06.640
Monday and Stephen Nelson out at the
Gallpin Motors Broadcast booth with the Dodgers were

16
00:01:06.719 --> 00:01:11.640
lasting action on Sunday Night baseball at
Yankees Stadium. As Tyler glass Now got

17
00:01:11.719 --> 00:01:15.719
the start, and he put the
Dodgers in an early hole as Waldo Cabrera

18
00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:19.000
a solo home run followed up by
an Aaron Judge rb Gui double which was

19
00:01:19.079 --> 00:01:23.159
misplayed by Andy Pajas in right center
field the Yankees and the third took a

20
00:01:23.239 --> 00:01:26.959
two to nothing lead. The Dodgers, though, would answer back Mookie Betts

21
00:01:27.040 --> 00:01:30.799
a two run double in the fifth
that tied the game at two. In

22
00:01:30.879 --> 00:01:34.640
the sixth, ta Oscar Hernandez gave
the Dodgers the lead buckle up for the

23
00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:42.719
two to one. Tayo Teas off
left field, hit deep again, Tioscar

24
00:01:42.840 --> 00:01:49.120
Hernandez. It's Tayo time, and
that might be the one swinging the bet

25
00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:53.920
I was talking about. He turned
around a changa Taoscar Hernandez with the home

26
00:01:55.000 --> 00:01:57.920
run. He had a wild weekend
in New York. Three home runs,

27
00:01:57.920 --> 00:02:00.959
a couple of doubles, nine ribys. That's the top tier play of the

28
00:02:00.959 --> 00:02:06.599
game. Sponsored by Arco Quality top
tier gas for less Dodgers a three to

29
00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:09.240
two lead in the top half of
the sixth inning. In the bottom of

30
00:02:09.280 --> 00:02:14.360
the sixth, though, Tyler Glass
now gave up the lead two balls,

31
00:02:14.360 --> 00:02:16.280
one strike, one out. In
this sixth inning, the pitchering Glass now

32
00:02:16.439 --> 00:02:21.520
pulled in the air right field and
hammerd Grisham tosses the bat. He has

33
00:02:21.599 --> 00:02:24.960
flipped the scoreboard with a home run, his third home run to hold the

34
00:02:25.039 --> 00:02:30.800
year, a three run blast,
giving New York a five to three lead.

35
00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:35.120
Here at the bottom of the sixth
they were chanting, we want Soto

36
00:02:35.319 --> 00:02:38.240
for one Soto. Instead they got
Trent Grisham, and he hits a three

37
00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:42.080
run home run sub one hundred batting
average, but he comes through there on

38
00:02:42.120 --> 00:02:45.919
a ninety six mile an hour fastball
that he turns around for a three run

39
00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:49.759
home run. Yankees take a five
to three lead. The Dodgers would get

40
00:02:49.800 --> 00:02:53.599
to within one in the eighth on
a Will Smith sackfly scoring show he O

41
00:02:53.719 --> 00:02:58.159
Tani. Dodgers were down five to
four. However, Johann Ramirez came back

42
00:02:58.159 --> 00:03:01.240
out to pitch the eighth and a
one run game, and Aaron Judge crushed

43
00:03:01.280 --> 00:03:06.120
a fastball for a four hundred and
thirty four foot home run is twenty fourth

44
00:03:06.199 --> 00:03:08.439
of this season. The Yankees took
a two run lead and they go on

45
00:03:08.520 --> 00:03:13.039
and win it by a final of
six to four. Former Dodger Caleb Ferguson

46
00:03:13.039 --> 00:03:15.360
gets the win. Tyler glasnow gets
the loss. He falls to six and

47
00:03:15.479 --> 00:03:20.199
five on this season. He is
now winless in his last six starts.

48
00:03:20.479 --> 00:03:23.120
The Dodgers lose the finale in New
York, but they still take this series,

49
00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:27.560
taking two of three. They're forty
one and twenty six overall. Pack

50
00:03:27.599 --> 00:03:30.159
home to start a six game homestand
James Paxton on the mount. In the

51
00:03:30.199 --> 00:03:35.759
series opener, it's the Dodgers take
on the defending World Series champion Texas Rangers.

52
00:03:35.919 --> 00:03:38.800
First pitch at seven to ten and
with more let's head out to the

53
00:03:38.800 --> 00:03:43.199
Galpin Motors broadcast booth as we say
hello to a Rick Monday and Steven Nelson.

54
00:03:43.240 --> 00:03:47.159
Guys, thank you, Tim Mo. We are recovered from the off

55
00:03:47.240 --> 00:03:51.319
day, getting ready for a six
game homestand on the heels of a six

56
00:03:51.360 --> 00:03:54.280
game road trip. And while the
Dodgers finished that trip five hundred taken two

57
00:03:54.280 --> 00:03:58.800
to three in New York. Given
all the hooplaw the pomp and circumstance and

58
00:03:58.840 --> 00:04:01.439
the noise that went into it.
Don't care that Wan Soto didn't play the

59
00:04:01.479 --> 00:04:06.479
fact that the Dodgers won that series
and nearly swept it. Hopefully we'll give

60
00:04:06.560 --> 00:04:11.439
them some momentum into this one against
the defending World Series champion. Recovered.

61
00:04:11.759 --> 00:04:16.839
Heck, I just walk up.
How about the fact I think the impact

62
00:04:16.839 --> 00:04:21.040
that the Dodgers and what they did
in the Bronx winning two out of three

63
00:04:21.240 --> 00:04:27.199
and really even competitive throughout the game
three of that series. But I think

64
00:04:27.199 --> 00:04:30.399
they proved something to themselves more than
maybe everybody else on the outside looking in,

65
00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:33.839
And that being the fact didn't play
particularly well in Pittsburgh the first series

66
00:04:33.879 --> 00:04:36.920
on that road trip, and I
think they come back into time. They're

67
00:04:36.920 --> 00:04:40.720
in a streak now, they're going
to play thirteen consecutive games, and that

68
00:04:40.839 --> 00:04:44.000
was a very good two out of
three to win. And they were not

69
00:04:44.199 --> 00:04:46.959
alone, as we found out in
New York because there was a large group.

70
00:04:47.360 --> 00:04:50.519
They'd even had a police escort coming
down the street the Yeku Stadium.

71
00:04:50.560 --> 00:04:55.160
So this is the club that has
to be feeling good about themselves and it's

72
00:04:55.199 --> 00:04:58.480
a good way to come back into
a series. Against the defending world champion

73
00:04:58.519 --> 00:05:01.720
and the Rangers are five going out. How difficult it is to repeat a

74
00:05:01.759 --> 00:05:06.800
World championship because everybody knows you're coming
into town. It has been a weird

75
00:05:06.920 --> 00:05:11.680
year in the whole American League West. I mean, the Rangers are three

76
00:05:11.680 --> 00:05:14.720
games below five hundred, but they're
only five and a half games back for

77
00:05:14.839 --> 00:05:17.000
the top spot in their division.
But they have been in the midst of

78
00:05:17.040 --> 00:05:21.160
a brutal stretch. I mean they've
lost seventeen of their last twenty six.

79
00:05:21.759 --> 00:05:27.279
But for the Dodgers in this matchup, they saw him in Arlington last year

80
00:05:27.319 --> 00:05:30.279
and at the time it was Hey, this could be a matchup, a

81
00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:32.759
potential World Series matchup, and you
coming out of that thinking, I don't

82
00:05:32.800 --> 00:05:36.120
know if Texas has all the pieces. Well, they showed even you can

83
00:05:36.199 --> 00:05:39.800
finish the season cold, but if
you get hot at the right time,

84
00:05:40.279 --> 00:05:43.399
you can take it all the way. That's exactly what they did last last

85
00:05:43.399 --> 00:05:46.519
October, despite coughing up the division
to Houston on the last eight year.

86
00:05:46.560 --> 00:05:49.600
Put the pieces together when they needed
to be put together. So did the

87
00:05:49.680 --> 00:05:54.600
other team that they played in the
World Series, that being the Arizona Diamondbacks.

88
00:05:54.680 --> 00:05:57.439
Diamondbacks get in. They're a wild
card team, but they played their

89
00:05:57.439 --> 00:06:00.480
best baseball when you really had to
play it be in postseason play. So

90
00:06:01.120 --> 00:06:03.800
you look at the Rangers coming in. He has five and a half out

91
00:06:04.560 --> 00:06:10.959
Seattle. Has it taken people by
surprise in American League Western Division because you

92
00:06:11.000 --> 00:06:13.439
look at what the Mariners have done. They're in first place for a lot

93
00:06:13.480 --> 00:06:16.759
of reasons, including playing within their
own division. They've won fourteen of the

94
00:06:16.839 --> 00:06:21.720
nineteen games played against teams in that
West. It's gonna be a heavy interleague

95
00:06:21.759 --> 00:06:26.240
month for the Dodgers. That the
Yankees series just their seventh, eighth,

96
00:06:26.279 --> 00:06:29.519
and ninth interleague games of the year. You gotta play forty six, so

97
00:06:29.879 --> 00:06:33.120
this is gonna kick off a stretch
of seeing a lot of American League opponents.

98
00:06:33.120 --> 00:06:38.480
Here the six game homestand with Texas
and Case, James Paxson will have

99
00:06:38.519 --> 00:06:41.279
the ball for the Dodgers opposite Dane
Dunning for the Rangers. We'll get into

100
00:06:41.279 --> 00:06:43.879
that a little bit when we check
in a little bit later. Thanks Tim,

00:07:25.639 --> 00:07:30.519
Dodgers on Dodgers on Deck, y'all
on the official home of La Dodgers

111
00:07:30.600 --> 00:07:35.160
Baseball. It's the Dodgers and Texas
Rangers. James Paxxtondeane Dunny. The bitching

112
00:07:35.199 --> 00:07:40.199
matchup in this series opener. First
pitch coming up at seven ten. This

113
00:07:40.680 --> 00:07:48.079
is the otanias rewinde. Here's the
one two pitch. Otani serves one fair,

114
00:07:48.199 --> 00:07:55.879
a little qu shot down the third
baseline and he's into second, standing

115
00:07:56.000 --> 00:08:01.279
up a leadoff double and Moe we've
been highlighting how hard he hits the baseball.

116
00:08:01.639 --> 00:08:03.680
Did not hit that one hard at
all, but he hit it perfectly

117
00:08:05.199 --> 00:08:09.680
in the right spot. A double
for show. Hey Otani, his eighteenth

118
00:08:09.720 --> 00:08:13.720
of this season that on Sunday at
the Yankee Stadium. He would later score

119
00:08:13.759 --> 00:08:18.040
in the eighth inning, but the
Dodgers would fall short by a six to

120
00:08:18.160 --> 00:08:20.639
four final. The Otani rewine brought

123
00:08:31.839 --> 00:08:37.679
Kirston's Corner with Kirston Watson and Kirston
now joins us from Dodgers Stadium. Dodgers

124
00:08:37.759 --> 00:08:43.240
back home after all the buzz over
the weekend and the bronx with the Dodgers

125
00:08:43.240 --> 00:08:46.559
and Yankees. But Heirson, last
time I looked, these Texas Rangers are

126
00:08:46.600 --> 00:08:50.120
the defending World Series Champson there in
town that they are, So this is

127
00:08:50.159 --> 00:08:54.799
gonna be. You know, as
much as it may not feel like the

128
00:08:54.919 --> 00:09:00.120
Yankees Dodgers excitement, that atmosphere was
insane. It truly was a postseason one.

129
00:09:00.279 --> 00:09:03.919
Well, it doesn't necessarily feel like
that East West rivalry, there's still

130
00:09:03.960 --> 00:09:07.080
something in this one. I mean, look, like you said, you

131
00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:09.919
got to give them that respect.
They are the World Series champions going into

132
00:09:09.919 --> 00:09:13.240
this year, and so when I
asked Dave Roberts about it, he said

133
00:09:13.240 --> 00:09:18.000
that they're a team that's kind of
finding their way at the moment. So,

134
00:09:18.200 --> 00:09:20.639
yes, it does feel a little
bit different because of that, but

135
00:09:20.720 --> 00:09:24.240
ultimately there's still a good team.
The team They're gonna face some really good

136
00:09:24.240 --> 00:09:28.679
pitching. So yeah. So and
even with talking to Oscar briefly, he

137
00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:31.120
said, you have to approach this
one just as similar as they did the

138
00:09:31.200 --> 00:09:35.120
Yankee So hopefully they'll be able to
put up some good numbers here in this

139
00:09:35.159 --> 00:09:39.440
one today. And the fun ist
back for Corey Seeger back at Dodger Stadium

140
00:09:39.480 --> 00:09:41.639
for the first time, but really
not the first time. Yeah. So

141
00:09:41.720 --> 00:09:45.960
he was a part of the All
Star Game when they played here, but

142
00:09:46.120 --> 00:09:48.639
two years ago now, yes,
two years ago, and so that was

143
00:09:48.679 --> 00:09:52.879
technically his first time coming back to
Dodger Stadium. But it's an All Star

144
00:09:52.960 --> 00:09:56.200
game, totally different atmosphere, there's
players from different teams. It's just the

145
00:09:56.279 --> 00:10:00.240
feel is different. Yes, it's
still the iconic Dodger stadium. It's a

146
00:10:00.279 --> 00:10:03.360
totally different vibe. So this is
his first time coming back in the regular

147
00:10:03.440 --> 00:10:07.480
season as a Rangers player with his
teammates facing his former teammates the Dodgers,

148
00:10:07.840 --> 00:10:11.360
and so he said, you know, this was a really special organization for

149
00:10:11.440 --> 00:10:15.679
him. This is where he you
know, he is where he grew up.

150
00:10:15.679 --> 00:10:18.480
It's where he became a young adult, and he really learned about himself.

151
00:10:18.519 --> 00:10:20.799
He learned how to do things the
right way, play the game the

152
00:10:20.840 --> 00:10:24.840
right way, and so those are
a lot of the things he learned here.

153
00:10:24.879 --> 00:10:28.120
He's carried over into his career now
with the Rangers, now being a

154
00:10:28.120 --> 00:10:33.279
World Series champion with both organizations.
So he unfortunately is not at the moment

155
00:10:33.399 --> 00:10:37.840
playing in this series. He's been
dealing in nursing a hamstring strain and something

156
00:10:37.879 --> 00:10:41.440
that happened last week. On Wednesday, he said he's trending in the right

157
00:10:41.440 --> 00:10:46.039
direction. But when he was asked
if it's likely that he will be playing

158
00:10:46.039 --> 00:10:48.480
in this series, he didn't have
an answer. So he was like,

159
00:10:48.519 --> 00:10:50.200
a game, I don't know.
We'll see. So I think we're all

160
00:10:50.200 --> 00:10:54.080
going to find out. He'll probably
know before us, but we will find

161
00:10:54.080 --> 00:10:56.600
out when he goes into the game, but the fact that he's back here,

162
00:10:56.679 --> 00:10:58.240
got to spend some time with his
former teammate. It's all Chris Taylor

163
00:10:58.279 --> 00:11:03.240
and his family yesterday, So uh, it's definitely it's a special return for

164
00:11:03.320 --> 00:11:05.759
him no matter what, looking forward
to his return at some point. Cur's

course done for the season after having Tommy

187
00:12:46.840 --> 00:12:50.919
John surgery. Let's go back out
to Dodger Stadium and check out with the

188
00:12:50.919 --> 00:12:56.440
Dodgers skipper anything else? Questions for
Dave? Dave? Can you just describe

189
00:12:56.600 --> 00:13:01.679
Dave? Can you talk about the
pressure in the dugout with Dave Robbers?

190
00:13:01.799 --> 00:13:07.559
You know, obviously they're the world
champs. They're sort of kind of trying

191
00:13:07.559 --> 00:13:11.960
to find their way right now.
They've been banged up a lot. I

192
00:13:11.000 --> 00:13:15.320
think Corey is in town, but
he's not act or not playing tonight.

193
00:13:16.720 --> 00:13:18.840
But yeah, they're still the world
champs and we came off a big series

194
00:13:20.279 --> 00:13:22.559
in New York, get an off
day, and I expect us to play

195
00:13:22.600 --> 00:13:26.879
well, you know this home stand. James Packiston after his last outing,

196
00:13:26.879 --> 00:13:28.320
what are you hoping to see from
him today? Just kind of keep back

197
00:13:28.320 --> 00:13:33.759
on track. I think with James, obviously the New York outing was abbreviated

198
00:13:33.840 --> 00:13:37.200
intentionally. Then the last one just
wasn't very good. And so I think

199
00:13:37.240 --> 00:13:41.120
that right now it's go out there
and filled the strike zone. The stuff

200
00:13:41.200 --> 00:13:45.320
plays in the zone. He just
hasn't been in the strike zone very much.

201
00:13:45.360 --> 00:13:48.679
And you know, I think if
he gets ahead, it's an aggressive

202
00:13:48.720 --> 00:13:52.320
swinging team and get some swinging miss
gets some quick outs and you know,

203
00:13:52.360 --> 00:13:56.759
get into that six inning. Sure, what the success she hit on the

204
00:13:56.759 --> 00:14:00.919
world. Did you learn anything on
the team that you didn't know? No,

205
00:14:01.000 --> 00:14:03.759
not really. I think that I've
been with these guys for for long

206
00:14:03.879 --> 00:14:09.120
enough to appreciate that, you know, the ability to focus and play a

207
00:14:09.159 --> 00:14:13.480
clean ball game, play up to
the level of competition. It is certainly

208
00:14:13.480 --> 00:14:18.360
in there. We haven't been as
consistent as any of us would have liked.

209
00:14:18.600 --> 00:14:22.960
But that's baseball. It's a marathon. But no, I was.

210
00:14:24.000 --> 00:14:28.600
I was happy to see the way
they responded. And you know, we're

211
00:14:28.720 --> 00:14:31.720
going to start here at thirteen in
a row. The pen is in a

212
00:14:31.759 --> 00:14:35.360
good spot. I think our starter
is in a good spot right now,

213
00:14:35.799 --> 00:14:37.279
and so I just want to keep
playing, you know, build off that

214
00:14:37.320 --> 00:14:43.080
momentum this last series. Dad,
you mentioned here when you when you when

215
00:14:43.080 --> 00:14:46.600
he's master your years and what do
you think of first Gosh, superstar,

216
00:14:48.559 --> 00:14:56.720
just a heavy baseball player, great
competitor and really has performed really well on

217
00:14:56.759 --> 00:14:58.799
the biggest of stages. So,
you know, very good Dodger, and

218
00:15:00.159 --> 00:15:03.639
he had a chance to coach him
like kind of every October, right especially

219
00:15:03.639 --> 00:15:05.039
in the years that hasn't worked out
for you guys to kind of talk about

220
00:15:07.080 --> 00:15:11.000
guys and that moments. Do you
think I've seen the two time World Series.

221
00:15:11.440 --> 00:15:15.320
Do you think there's such a thing
as an October player? And if

222
00:15:16.080 --> 00:15:20.080
Segar is one, why do you
think he is? Well? I think

223
00:15:20.120 --> 00:15:24.120
that over the first couple of years, I don't think he was very good

224
00:15:24.120 --> 00:15:30.480
in the postseason. I think in
twenty it really started. And I think

225
00:15:30.600 --> 00:15:37.399
Corey is an aggressive swinger, and
so he understood the value of just taking

226
00:15:37.440 --> 00:15:39.360
walks when you need to and when
they throw it over the plate, hit

227
00:15:39.399 --> 00:15:43.840
it hard and do what he does. And so he's carried that on through

228
00:15:43.879 --> 00:15:46.919
the you know, following postseasons.
You know, as far as us,

229
00:15:48.039 --> 00:15:50.440
it still takes more than one player. I think collectively, we just haven't

230
00:15:50.440 --> 00:15:54.519
been great the last couple of years. Offensively, all right, there's Dave

231

you by Service Titan. Dave Roberts is

When we come back here on Dodgers
on Deck, we'll check you out with

236
00:16:12.000 --> 00:16:15.519
David bad saying, lead you up
to first pitch Dodgers and Rangers. From

237
00:16:15.559 --> 00:16:22.960
the ravine of Tim Kass Los Angeles
Dodgers Audio Network. This is Marongo Casino,

238

Dodgers on Deck on your home for
the Blue All Season Law Law Dodgers

239
00:16:32.919 --> 00:16:36.519
and Rangers. James Paxson, Dane
Dunning. The pitching matchup, first pitch

240
00:16:36.600 --> 00:16:40.120
coming up at seven to ten.
Coming up, we'll dip deeper into this

241
00:16:40.200 --> 00:16:42.279
pitching matchup. Stephen and Rick will
get you the keys to the game.

242
00:16:42.320 --> 00:16:48.320
But first, joining Tim Kats on
Dodgers on Deck, I accept everybody for

243
00:16:48.399 --> 00:16:53.440
who they are. This is Dodger
insider David Basse. All right, DV,

244
00:16:53.679 --> 00:16:57.639
he's back. He's a World Series
champion with the Texas Rangers and the

245
00:16:57.639 --> 00:17:03.840
Los Angeles Dodgers. Welcome back Corey
Seeger. Yeah, indeed, welcome Corey

246
00:17:03.879 --> 00:17:07.279
Seger back to Dodgers Stadium. Despite
him not being in the starting lineup tonight

247
00:17:07.319 --> 00:17:12.480
for the Rangers. He's been dealing
with a left hamstring issue that he injured

248
00:17:12.559 --> 00:17:18.759
over the weekend when the Rangers were
playing the Giants, but nonetheless great to

249
00:17:18.799 --> 00:17:22.559
have him back at Dodgers Stadium.
This is the second time that Seeger has

250
00:17:22.640 --> 00:17:26.559
been back to Dodgers Stadium since signing
with the Rangers. He was an All

251
00:17:26.599 --> 00:17:32.880
Star for the American League when the
Midsummer Classic was at Dodgers Stadium a couple

252
00:17:32.960 --> 00:17:36.960
of years ago, but this is
the first time he's coming to town wearing

253
00:17:37.000 --> 00:17:41.079
that Rangers uniform and coming back not
only a two time World Series champion,

254
00:17:41.400 --> 00:17:48.519
but coming back a two time World
Series MVP. I think winning's fun.

255
00:17:48.799 --> 00:17:53.319
Anytime you can win, their fun. So to be at the top is

256
00:17:55.039 --> 00:17:57.240
what you're always trying to accomplish.
So in a lot of ways, there's

257
00:17:57.279 --> 00:18:02.759
a lot of similarities. You know, how you get there, things like

258
00:18:02.799 --> 00:18:06.440
that were probably different, but at
the end, winning is the same.

259
00:18:06.519 --> 00:18:11.279
So a lot of the times were
similar. And that was when Seger was

260
00:18:11.319 --> 00:18:17.519
asked about the difference between the Bubble
Championship with the Dodgers in twenty compared to

261
00:18:17.599 --> 00:18:22.440
a full season World Series championship with
the Rangers last year and this season.

262
00:18:22.599 --> 00:18:26.559
Corey Sieger He's been hitting the ball
hard, but not a lot to show

263
00:18:26.599 --> 00:18:30.720
for it. He's hitting two seventy
one with an ops of eight thirty two

264
00:18:30.880 --> 00:18:37.599
thirteen homers and certainly playing still solid
shortstop. If you remember when he was

265
00:18:37.640 --> 00:18:41.720
with the Dodgers, Mookie Betts was
a right fielder tim and now he's a

266
00:18:41.759 --> 00:18:45.640
shortstop. And Seeger was asked about
his thoughts on Mookie moving the shortstop.

267
00:18:47.680 --> 00:18:52.079
I think it's really impressive. I
mean, he hasn't played really the infield

268
00:18:52.160 --> 00:18:55.599
since the minor leagues. I know
he did a couple times here or there,

269
00:18:55.640 --> 00:18:59.359
but to go out and play a
position probably since high school that he's

270
00:18:59.359 --> 00:19:02.839
played short I don't know what it
was ex actually, but that's not an

271
00:19:02.839 --> 00:19:06.720
easy thing to do to learn on
a big league level. It's great to

272
00:19:06.720 --> 00:19:11.480
have Corey Seger back. He still
has such strong bonds with his former teammates.

273
00:19:11.480 --> 00:19:15.039
He spent the off day with Chris
Taylor, among others. So Corey

274
00:19:15.119 --> 00:19:19.559
Seger, even though he's wearing a
Ranger uniform, will forever have that Dodger

275
00:19:19.640 --> 00:19:23.119
bond with his teammates. Tavid is

your Southern California Ford Dealers and find yours

278
00:19:32.640 --> 00:19:37.880
ford EV Series built Tough Max Munsey
DV haven't heard an update on him in

279
00:19:37.920 --> 00:19:40.680
a while. How is he progressing? Well, he's still not swinging the

280
00:19:40.680 --> 00:19:47.200
bat, and this obleak issue has
basically debilitated him from doing anything physical up

281
00:19:47.279 --> 00:19:51.799
until today. The last homestand we
saw Max Munsey take some ground balls,

282
00:19:51.839 --> 00:19:56.319
but he was not allowed to throw
across the diamonds. So today was a

283
00:19:56.400 --> 00:20:00.599
major improvement because when we got to
Dodger Stadium around on two o'clock this afternoon,

284
00:20:00.720 --> 00:20:06.200
the Dodger third baseman was not only
fielding ground balls, but he was

285
00:20:06.240 --> 00:20:08.839
throwing across the diamonds. So that's
a step in the right direction. But

286
00:20:10.319 --> 00:20:15.119
my understanding, Tim is that Mounsey
is weeks away from returning to the lineup.

287
00:20:15.400 --> 00:20:18.559
What about Clayton Kershaw David any update? Yeah? I asked him what

288
00:20:18.599 --> 00:20:25.240
he thought about Dave Roberts comparing this
start to the throwing and the simulated games

289
00:20:25.279 --> 00:20:29.680
to his first week of spring training, and he said, look, you

290
00:20:29.720 --> 00:20:33.920
can do the math. I've pitched
two innings in a simulated game and you'll

291
00:20:33.960 --> 00:20:37.680
be able to track it as the
time goes along. So basically he's going

292
00:20:37.720 --> 00:20:42.839
to make at least six to seven, maybe eight starts before he comes back

293
00:20:42.960 --> 00:20:48.000
sometime in July, and right now
the Dodger rotation is pretty full, especially

294
00:20:48.039 --> 00:20:52.319
with Bobby Miller on the horizon to
return to the rotation. Yeah, Bobby

295
00:20:52.359 --> 00:20:55.720
Miller. One more start in Oklahoma
City, then he's going to return.

296
00:20:55.799 --> 00:20:59.319
David, appreciate it. Looking forward
to your conversation with Brad Paisley that's coming

297
00:20:59.359 --> 00:21:03.039
up, Dodger fans in about fifteen
minutes. Yeah, that same Brad Paisley,

time for the Hawey Magical moment,
Bitch Magical presented by Hawvey Hot Dogs.

307
00:21:53.599 --> 00:21:59.720
We go back to July twenty second, last year, Dodgers in Arlington taking

308
00:21:59.759 --> 00:22:04.039
on the Texas Rangers and facing this
same Dane Dunning. For those on already

309
00:22:04.039 --> 00:22:07.599
are wondering what the Freddie is,
well, basically he puts his hands up

310
00:22:07.640 --> 00:22:11.640
over his head and if you can
imagine what someone looks like while they're trying

311
00:22:11.640 --> 00:22:18.160
to work a hula hoop, Freddie
hits a high drive to right field.

312
00:22:18.559 --> 00:22:22.519
It is deep, it is gone, and we're doing to Freddy get the

313
00:22:22.599 --> 00:22:27.880
hula hoops. A two run homer
for Freddie Freeman. How about that?

314
00:22:29.359 --> 00:22:33.920
It is seven to one Dodgers,
Freddie Freeman with his second home run of

315
00:22:33.960 --> 00:22:36.839
the game, that one in the
fourth inning, and the Dodgers would go

316
00:22:36.920 --> 00:22:42.160
on and score a season high sixteen
runs, demolishing the first place then Texas

317
00:22:42.240 --> 00:22:47.799
Rangers sixteen to three, and the
same Dane Dunning who's on the mountain tonight

318
00:22:47.839 --> 00:22:52.519
for the Texas Rangers, took the
loss in that Dodger domination last July.

333
00:23:56.440 --> 00:24:03.119
Series Champion Dodger Rick all Right,
Rick, the Dodgers are back home.

334
00:24:03.200 --> 00:24:07.440
But man, what an exciting series
in the Bronx. It was exciting from

335
00:24:07.480 --> 00:24:10.640
a lot of different reasons. And
what about to Askar Hernandez. By the

336
00:24:10.680 --> 00:24:14.839
way, congratulations to a Teo the
National League Player of the week. He

337
00:24:14.920 --> 00:24:18.279
did everything so dragged the infield.
If you look at last week and especially

338
00:24:18.319 --> 00:24:21.799
with that big Grand Slam that he
hit on Saturday night, eat Yankee Stadium

339
00:24:22.000 --> 00:24:25.640
and David for the second trip in
a row. The last one was twenty

340
00:24:25.680 --> 00:24:30.119
sixteen. But if remember a number
of years ago Dodgers went into Yankee Stadium

341
00:24:30.160 --> 00:24:33.920
and pantone two ninety four came in. Well, they were there again this

342
00:24:33.559 --> 00:24:40.160
past weekend and kind of took over
a Yankee Stadium and Yankee fans were stunned

343
00:24:40.279 --> 00:24:45.240
again by the support that a visiting
team, I mean the audacity of the

344
00:24:45.319 --> 00:24:48.599
visiting team had a lot of fans
that came in to their house. It

345
00:24:48.640 --> 00:24:52.559
was really nice to see. And
this is a ball club. I was

346
00:24:52.599 --> 00:24:59.440
talking earlier to someone about momentum and
some people that maybe have never participated in

347
00:24:59.480 --> 00:25:03.640
sports or competed don't understand momentum.
Is it important? Well, I think

348
00:25:03.680 --> 00:25:07.920
it's important along with chemistry too,
and I think the momentum hopefully that they

349
00:25:07.960 --> 00:25:11.440
garnered from that winning two out of
three in New York is now going to

350
00:25:11.480 --> 00:25:15.960
carry over. They're in a good
spot the Dodgers right now, no question

351
00:25:15.079 --> 00:25:18.000
about it, seven and a half
game lead in front of the San Diego

352
00:25:18.039 --> 00:25:22.680
Padres. Are they better than what
the record is? In my mind,

353
00:25:22.759 --> 00:25:26.960
yes, they're a better team.
They've had injuries. Every team is going

354
00:25:26.000 --> 00:25:32.119
to have injuries, and still maybe
a long way away by Max Munsey.

355
00:25:32.160 --> 00:25:33.799
We don't know how far away he
is at the present time either. So

356
00:25:33.839 --> 00:25:37.559
this is the club comes in knowing
full well, they come in with a

357
00:25:37.599 --> 00:25:41.160
positive thought. Two out of three
in New York. Now they're going to

358
00:25:41.200 --> 00:25:45.920
be home for thirteen games, and
this is a good kind of a test,

359
00:25:47.200 --> 00:25:49.160
thirteen games in a row, at
least the two series here before they

360
00:25:49.200 --> 00:25:52.039
go back out. That was one
thing I've been meaning to ask you.

361
00:25:52.200 --> 00:25:56.319
How much more is left for this
Dodger team. It feels like there's a

362
00:25:56.359 --> 00:26:00.920
lot more left. I don't think
you want to peak too early. It's

363
00:26:00.960 --> 00:26:07.559
funny. Dwayne McDonald and I were
having the conversation our great producer engineer a

364
00:26:07.559 --> 00:26:14.000
little bit earlier about teams that will
momentum playing well, do they peak too

365
00:26:14.000 --> 00:26:17.400
early? Because you can make the
argument if you look at the Texas Rangers,

366
00:26:17.440 --> 00:26:21.759
who are coming in tonight, the
defending World champions they barely got into

367
00:26:21.839 --> 00:26:25.759
postseason play last year. Well,
they won a World championship, and the

368
00:26:25.839 --> 00:26:30.960
team that they played against, the
Arizona Diamondbacks, who did not play particularly

369
00:26:30.039 --> 00:26:34.599
well until it really really mattered at
the end of the season. They get

370
00:26:34.640 --> 00:26:38.759
into a wild card, they played
lights out during the postseason, and they

371
00:26:38.799 --> 00:26:42.519
wound up in the World Series.
So yeah, it's nice to have seven

372
00:26:42.559 --> 00:26:45.559
and a half game lead right now. It would be better to have a

373
00:26:45.680 --> 00:26:49.480
seven and a half game lead after
Game one sixty two and have a club

374
00:26:49.519 --> 00:26:55.720
A that's healthy and B playing well. Right now, the club's not totally

375
00:26:55.759 --> 00:26:59.839
healthy, but they are playing well. Going back to taoscar Hernandez, who

376
00:26:59.839 --> 00:27:03.279
is the National League Player of the
Week, Like you mentioned, it feels

377
00:27:03.440 --> 00:27:07.519
like on that stage in New York, he has become a household name.

378
00:27:07.960 --> 00:27:10.920
Now in Los Angeles, Well,
let me ask you this, because you're

379
00:27:10.960 --> 00:27:12.839
on the field talking to the guys
a lot, and in the locker room

380
00:27:12.839 --> 00:27:18.400
and around him. He's enjoying being
here with the Dodgers, and you see

381
00:27:18.440 --> 00:27:21.640
it up close to personal. They
enjoy having him here. Yeah, I

382
00:27:21.640 --> 00:27:25.680
feel like he has that million dollar
smile right, and he kind of fills

383
00:27:25.720 --> 00:27:29.599
in a lot of different areas about
Hey, let's go out and play.

384
00:27:30.039 --> 00:27:32.640
If you play well enough, you
can have even more fun. He happens

385
00:27:32.640 --> 00:27:34.200
to have fun each and every day
because he realizes, hey, look,

386
00:27:34.400 --> 00:27:40.880
it's a true grift, true gift
to be really one of the six hundred

387
00:27:41.240 --> 00:27:45.000
major league players that are out there
right now if you consider all the different

388
00:27:45.000 --> 00:27:48.759
teams that are playing in Major League
Baseball, and he's in the upper echelon,

389
00:27:48.839 --> 00:27:51.720
and he was last week the best
of the National League. Hey,

390
00:27:51.799 --> 00:27:55.839
Rick, you always wonder about players
and whether or not they can perform on

391
00:27:55.880 --> 00:28:00.000
the biggest of stage. I feel
like we learned something about ta Oscar Hernandez.

392
00:28:00.079 --> 00:28:03.279
You bring up a good point,
because there are some players that quite

393
00:28:03.319 --> 00:28:07.440
frankly, don't want to play for
the teams that have the bright spotlights on

394
00:28:07.519 --> 00:28:08.960
them. It's one thing to say, oh, I want to play in

395
00:28:08.960 --> 00:28:12.799
the big stage. Okay, who
can perform? There is a player that

396
00:28:12.839 --> 00:28:18.079
I know a number of years ago
with the Boston Red Sox that ask a

397
00:28:18.119 --> 00:28:21.960
starting pitcher about a day or two
before he was going to pitch in the

398
00:28:21.960 --> 00:28:25.440
World Series. Aren't you scared?
And that picture said, no, I'm

399
00:28:25.440 --> 00:28:26.920
not scared. I'm really looking forward
to it. This is an area that

400
00:28:26.960 --> 00:28:32.519
I look forward to since I was
a little kid. And this other pitcher,

401
00:28:32.559 --> 00:28:34.240
who is a reliever at the time, said, I'm scared to death.

402
00:28:34.319 --> 00:28:37.799
Quite frankly, I hope I don't
get in the ball game. Those

403
00:28:37.839 --> 00:28:41.240
are not the guys you wanted your
team. Obviously, it's not that easy

404
00:28:41.279 --> 00:28:47.119
to play under the brightest lights because
not everyone has the greatest of expectations of

405
00:28:47.400 --> 00:28:52.160
not only themselves but those around them. That's coming from a man that delivered

406
00:28:52.160 --> 00:28:55.759
one of the biggest home runs in
Dodger history. He liked the big stage,

407
00:28:55.839 --> 00:28:59.039
Rick Monday. We had a big
ball club that got us to the

408
00:28:59.039 --> 00:29:03.079
big stage. You delivered as well. Thanks Rick, I'll be your PR

409
00:29:03.160 --> 00:29:06.480
guy. Don't worry, I look
forward to it. David, thirteen consecutive

410
00:29:06.519 --> 00:29:11.200

But I'm next, Well here if I'm

417
00:29:32.160 --> 00:29:37.279
one of the Dodgers' biggest fans and
one of country's the biggest superstars, Brad

418
00:29:37.359 --> 00:29:41.759
Paisley, that's next Dodgers Rangers,
first pitch of seven to ten. I'm

Cason Dodgers and the Texas your Rangers,

James Paxton on the mount. First
pitch can up to seven ten. Dodgers

425
00:30:14.960 --> 00:30:18.640
what will likely be vasse fielding insults
from a Dodger player. It's an engagement

426
00:30:18.680 --> 00:30:23.480
of endearment. This is high and
tight. Dodgers and Rangers getting set for

427
00:30:23.599 --> 00:30:29.799
first pitch. The Dodgers back home
after an electric three games at Yankee Stadium,

428
00:30:30.039 --> 00:30:34.319
and one of the biggest country music
stars and Dodger fans was in attendance

429
00:30:34.400 --> 00:30:38.720
for a Saturday night's game at Yankee
Stadium, and that was the one and

430
00:30:38.759 --> 00:30:44.839
only Brad Paisley. Thanks for that
intro. I don't know how much of

431
00:30:44.839 --> 00:30:48.680
that I deserve. Thank you,
You deserve all of it. And it

432
00:30:48.759 --> 00:30:52.480
was great to see what Yankee Stadium. I couldn't believe how good your seats

433
00:30:52.519 --> 00:30:55.799
were. I mean, you flew
in for that game, and I feel

434
00:30:55.799 --> 00:31:00.440
like you got your money's worth.
Are you kidding? I mean, it's

435
00:31:00.559 --> 00:31:03.279
that was one of those games where
it's great to be the fan of the

436
00:31:03.319 --> 00:31:07.200
winning team because it was the perfect
game. It's like tie, well,

437
00:31:07.240 --> 00:31:11.640
you know, we're up one,
tied up one again, go up too,

438
00:31:11.839 --> 00:31:15.119
and then it's all hell breaks loose
thanks to tai Oscar, and it's

439
00:31:15.200 --> 00:31:22.279
like it was just a blast,
and the experience of being there when these

440
00:31:22.319 --> 00:31:29.880
two Titans collide is just it's really
it was really something I've been to,

441
00:31:30.119 --> 00:31:34.079
you know, our World Series games
before, and this was every bit is

442
00:31:34.079 --> 00:31:38.440
exciting. It's it's crazy. I
hope you weren't getting a hot dog when

443
00:31:38.480 --> 00:31:42.759
ta Oscar Hernandez hit his grand Slam. No, I was. I was

444
00:31:42.799 --> 00:31:48.960
sitting there and I mean just as
shocked, and I mean it was just

445
00:31:49.119 --> 00:31:53.720
great. It was. It was
literally the moment the Yankees fans started to

446
00:31:53.720 --> 00:31:59.720
believe true Blue. Brad Paisley is
our guest. And I got to ask

447
00:31:59.759 --> 00:32:04.079
you, can you set the scene
for Dodger fans? Are you in the

448
00:32:04.200 --> 00:32:10.000
part of your property in Nashville where
you brought Eric Neander and Andrew Freeman together

449
00:32:10.039 --> 00:32:15.240
for Tyler Glass Now? You miss
Glass now? I feel like both times

450
00:32:15.279 --> 00:32:19.720
you've seen the Dodgers this year,
you've missed Glass Now pitching by one game.

451
00:32:20.119 --> 00:32:23.559
You still have not seen Glass now
pitch for the Dodgers, but you

452
00:32:23.559 --> 00:32:31.079
you brought them together. Well that's
I mean, that's really that's a kind

453
00:32:31.160 --> 00:32:34.480
thing to say. I don't know
if it would have happened without me,

454
00:32:34.559 --> 00:32:38.000
but I like to I'll definitely pretend
to take the credit, but it's really

455
00:32:38.200 --> 00:32:43.079
it was a really amazing night.
We have. I have this bar we

456
00:32:43.200 --> 00:32:46.039
broadcast from there. You can go
back and see it on your I guess

457
00:32:46.079 --> 00:32:51.319
your Instagram look at you? Yeah, right right on the iHeartRadio app,

458
00:32:51.359 --> 00:32:58.400
you can find that Dodger talk.
We had about forty executives and baseball people

459
00:32:58.440 --> 00:33:04.559
here between the two teams, mostly
Dodgers. But it was a really amazing

460
00:33:04.599 --> 00:33:09.400
experience to see the way that this
sport is just like it's always been.

461
00:33:09.599 --> 00:33:15.279
I don't know whether the NFL or
basketball or how or soccer or how they

462
00:33:15.480 --> 00:33:20.640
they operate in terms of like the
way deals get done, But for these

463
00:33:21.319 --> 00:33:27.000
it felt like in the days of
the you know, Babe Ruth and Yeah,

464
00:33:27.359 --> 00:33:30.599
and you know what I mean,
Garrek and these guys, like the

465
00:33:30.680 --> 00:33:35.119
things were going on where these guys
would need it, you know, Rudy's

466
00:33:35.119 --> 00:33:37.400
Bar in New York and just hash
out like, well, I mean,

467
00:33:37.440 --> 00:33:39.240
I don't know if we need them
this year, do you want them?

468
00:33:39.319 --> 00:33:43.279
Yeah, I guess I'll you know
that kind of thing. It felt like

469
00:33:44.200 --> 00:33:47.039
it was that kind of thing,
like basically, the Dodgers really wanted glass

470
00:33:47.039 --> 00:33:51.920
now and the Tampa Bay Rays knew
they couldn't really keep them and they wanted

471
00:33:51.920 --> 00:33:54.119
to see what they could get,
and over the course of sitting at the

472
00:33:54.119 --> 00:34:00.599
bar and having drinks, you know, it became really clear that these are

473
00:34:00.640 --> 00:34:02.799
guys that really want to build the
best teams they can, and they like

474
00:34:02.880 --> 00:34:07.639
each other, and everybody had alcohol. And then the fun part was like

475
00:34:07.719 --> 00:34:13.280
reminiscing. I was sitting there and
talking to Eric about the World Series against

476
00:34:13.320 --> 00:34:17.119
the Race, and then you know, watching as we kind of teased him

477
00:34:17.119 --> 00:34:21.880
about something that happened in that and
then the same with like what happened in

478
00:34:22.079 --> 00:34:28.760
years prior and just memories and it's
just baseball is the best, it really

479
00:34:28.880 --> 00:34:31.519
is. Thanks a lot for the
time, Brad. And if you want

486

522
00:37:45.159 --> 00:37:49.480
Steven Nelson, Guys, Thanks DC. The Dodgers getting close to officially

523
00:37:49.679 --> 00:37:54.599
welcoming the defending World Series champion Texas
Rangers to Dodgers Stadium a three game set

524
00:37:54.639 --> 00:38:00.280
here and with the Rangers in town, MO, that means the return of

525
00:38:00.320 --> 00:38:05.000
a former and beloved Dodger, Corey
Seeger of course, just won his second

526
00:38:05.079 --> 00:38:08.599
World Series, was the World Series
MVP for the Rangers last October in their

527
00:38:08.679 --> 00:38:14.039
victory over Arizona, and no Dodger
fan will ever forget what he did on

528
00:38:14.079 --> 00:38:16.519
the twenty twenty run. Yeah,
and not in the lineup tonight. Fourth

529
00:38:16.559 --> 00:38:21.559
consecutive games that he's not being in
the starting lineup nursing a hamstring. It's

530
00:38:21.920 --> 00:38:23.440
a little bit of an issue in
brus Bochi does not want to be able

531
00:38:23.480 --> 00:38:29.159
to push it right now early and
extend the absence out of that lineup.

532
00:38:29.199 --> 00:38:31.000
But one thing about it, listen
to Dave Roberts, I thought he summed

533
00:38:31.000 --> 00:38:35.559
it up very well earlier this afternoon
talking about the Rangers. He said,

534
00:38:35.599 --> 00:38:38.880
look, you have to treat them
carefully because they are a very aggressive hitting

535
00:38:38.960 --> 00:38:43.639
team and when they get the offense
going, very similar to what we see

536
00:38:43.639 --> 00:38:45.639
the Dodgers. They have some guys
that can hit the ball to gap to

537
00:38:45.719 --> 00:38:49.880
gap extra bases, and some guys
occasionally can run into it and hit it

538
00:38:49.880 --> 00:38:53.360
out of the ballpark. The highlights
without Corey Seger, even with Corey Seger,

539
00:38:53.400 --> 00:38:57.800
Marcus Simon, who's the lead off
batter tonight for Texas, and Adolis

540
00:38:57.800 --> 00:39:01.960
Garcia the right fielder batting third.
Hey, the Dodgers do own the National

541
00:39:02.039 --> 00:39:06.000
League Player of the Week, the
reigning NL Player of the Week in Taoscar

542
00:39:06.039 --> 00:39:09.360
Hernandez. He's probably the one who
was most upset to be leaving New York.

543
00:39:09.559 --> 00:39:13.239
Yeah, well, you know in
New York would have sent a limousine

544
00:39:13.280 --> 00:39:15.800
to take into the airport. A
question about that. And for James Paxton

545
00:39:15.840 --> 00:39:21.960
getting the start tonight, and for
the left hander his twelve start a factor

546
00:39:22.119 --> 00:39:27.000
of five and one so far,
you know, what he's really done is

547
00:39:27.079 --> 00:39:30.079
kind of even the batting average left
handed and right handed hitters against him.

548
00:39:30.360 --> 00:39:34.320
All the home runs that being seven
of them had been hit by the right

549
00:39:34.320 --> 00:39:37.440
handers. He's actually owned the lefties. And I bring that up because only

550
00:39:37.519 --> 00:39:42.559
one left hander in the Rangers lineup
tonight. There's a couple of switch hitters

551
00:39:42.559 --> 00:39:45.639
that they'll be batting from the right
side of his Packston. But this Dodger

552
00:39:45.679 --> 00:39:49.000
ball club, one of the things
have been able to do recently, score

553
00:39:49.119 --> 00:39:52.920
early in the games. And the
other factor this may come down to bullpins.

554
00:39:52.119 --> 00:39:55.719
The Dodgers' bullpen by far, has
had a better start this season.

555
00:39:55.960 --> 00:40:00.719
It's been rugged for the Texas Rangers. They're bulk e twenty six out of

556
00:40:00.719 --> 00:40:05.119
the thirty teams. Wool all right, So James Paxson, coming off his

557
00:40:05.280 --> 00:40:07.800
worst start as a Dodger in Pittsburgh
when he was touched up for seven runs,

558
00:40:07.800 --> 00:40:12.519
six of amern At just an ending
in two thirds. One positive that

559
00:40:12.559 --> 00:40:15.519
he can lean on coming into this
one is that his new home has been

560
00:40:15.559 --> 00:40:17.519
a sweet home at Dodger Stadium.
He's two to zero here in La in

561
00:40:17.559 --> 00:40:22.119
four starts with a two point seven
to eight era. I'll try and hold

562
00:40:22.159 --> 00:40:24.119
down the defending champs. First pitch
coming up soon. Back to you,
