And now your host for Morongo Casino Dodgers Tech Tam kayse Hi everybody, and
welcome in to Morongo Casino Dodgers on Deck. Hope you're doing well on this
hot Sunday afternoon here in southern California. You're Los Angeles Dodgers fifty five and
thirty five on this season, first place to top the NL West. They
pick up a game on the padres now as seven and a half game lead
in the division. After taking the first two games of this series with the
Brewers, the Dodgers go for the sweep of Milwaukee this afternoon with a young
man making his major league debut for the Dodgers, left hander Justin Robleski on
the mound, called up from Triple A Oklahoma City. First pitch from Dodgers
Stadium is coming up at one ten, coming up over here the next hour
here on Morogo Casino Dodgers on Deck, you'll hear from the manager, Dave
Roberts. Will dive deeper into this pitching matchup David Vsego's one on one with
Bobby Miller. We'll check in with DV. Of course out the show.
We got your magical moment. We'll hear from Miguel Vargas, who had a
big home run yesterday, And in just a few minutes, we'll check out
Rick Monday and Tim Neverritt out at the Gallpin Motors Broadcast booth. Well,
yesterday at the stadium, the Dodgers used the long ball more to beat the
Brewers. James Paxston got the start the Big Maple, ended up going five
innings, gave up two runs on four hits while striking out three. He
gave up an RBI single to William Domins in the top of the first as
Milwaukee jumped out to the early one nothing lead. The Dodgers offense, though,
answer right back Will Smith a three home run night the night before,
and he picked up right where he left off. Two ball, one strike
pitch to Will swung well the right field. That's gonna take Freelick back to
the track, to the wall. It is done. A home run into
the home run seats with Will Smith, a two run homer he Will Smith.
This hit is fourth home run this series, an opposite field shot that
just carried out. Will Smith does it again, fifteen home run of this
season, his fourth in two games after hitting three on Friday night, that
tied the game at one. Later, the Indian Andy pot has and field
his choice that scored Freddie Freeman Dodgers with two runs at the bottom of the
first. Not only answered back would take the lead. James Paxson would pitch
well in the fourth, though he gave up a solo home run to Reese
Hoskins, a mistake he wants back, no doubt about that, that tied
the game at two. The Dodgers zoe coming back or up three to two
in the eighth inning when Christian Yelich hit a home run off of Evan Phillips
that tied the game at three. The Dodgers now going to the bottom of
the eighth inning, Gavin Lux gets pitch hit four by Miguel Vargas, who
untied the game, and his next pitch is swung on and hit high in
the air to left field. It's drifting, Yellin's going back. He's at
the track and he's at the wall. He leaps in at his bar.
It's gone. It's over his head for a home run, a pinch hit
home for Miguel Vargas and the Dodgers leading in the eighth four to three.
Oh Miguel Vargas for the second home run in as many games, third of
this season. That's the top Tier play of the game sponsored by Roco Quality
Top Tier Gas for Less. That home run untied a three to three game.
There in the bottom of the eighth inning, Dodgers up four to three.
Two batters later, show Hey o'tani with a solo home run to center
four hundred and thirty feet that gave the Dodgers a five to three lead.
The ninth inning would belong to Alex Vesia and he came out pitched the ninth
inning for his fifth save of the year. Dodgers get the win five to
three over the Brewers. Evan Phillips gets the blown save and the win as
the Dodgers get that two runs in the bottom half of the eighth inning.
The Dodgers now go for the three games sweep over the Milwaukee Brewers, and
they send out a young man making his major league debut, left tender Justin
Robleski on the mound first pitching one ten and with more than ten out to
the Galvin Motors broadcast booth. As we say good afternoon, dure Rick Monday
and Tim Neffrit guys, Thank you ten perfect Sunday afternoon for a ball game.
As the Dodgers get set to take on the Milwaukee Brewers in Game three
of this three game set a chance to pull off a three game sweep.
They won the first two games and last night another run in the eighth inning.
Both games. So far in the series, the Dodgers have put the
go ahead run on board in the eighth inning five to three the win as
Miguel Vargas ends up with what would be considered the game winning RBI. There's
a stat they don't really keep anymore, but if they did, Vargas would
have had it. Last night. Shohio Tani with an insurance home run also
in the eighth inning, and Will Smith had a home run as well.
So the Dodgers up two games to none in this series, looking for the
three game sweep, and they have dominated this team here at Dodger Stadium.
They've won thirteen of the last fourteen games against Milwaukee, including the games involving
in the twenty twenty playoffs, and they've won seven in a row. Today,
Dallas Kiko, veteran left hander, goals against a minor league call up
justin Robleski. He'll make his Dodger debut here today and he's going to make
his major league debut. Quite a story also developing now with Miguel Vargas,
who came over with a pitch hit home run in the eighth inn in last
night's ball game. The other part, too, is sho Hey O'tani,
who was zero for eleven entering last night's ballgame. He's on base all five
times, two walks, he was hit by a pitch, had a triple.
He also had career home run number one hundred and ninety nine. So,
yeah, as you were saying yesterday, there's some pitcher going to get
their ticket punched. He's going to break out of it. That's the story.
But it's going to be interesting to see Miguel Vargas, who said I've
been waiting patiently. Well, it's paying off because he's starting in left field
in today's ballgame. Vargas looking for opportunities, and again he has said it,
he has said it that he doesn't care where he plays as long as
he gets at bats. And will the bats come in left field? Will
they come at third base? He's been taking ground balls at third resently.
Yeah. Well, he was missed out on the second base opportunity. Gavin
Lux took that over and then you look at well he tried to make the
transition to left field. That was the work in progress. Then we've seen
him take ground balls recently at third base. If you can hit, they're
going to find a position for you. So he will back in the sixth
spot today and play in left field. Here's the other thing about Vargas too.
You look at what he's done. He's fifteen for forty three. That's
with three home runs and four doubles. So he is I think also the
knowledge he handles the ball from what we've seen so far inside very very well.
The question has been that pitches away from him and really being able to
discern is it a ball or is a strike? K Herdandez gets a start
today at third base, and Chris Taylor moves over to second, getting a
right headed bat in there against Dallas Kaykl the lefter. It's kind of funny
too, Tim. You look at this Dodgra ball club. They start with
a seven and a half game lead over the San Diego Padres in the Western
Division. Okay, things are coming up, Rosie on that end, of
it. And yet you look at the last six games. They won four
of the six, but they have been out hit sixty three to fifty one.
They've also been outscored in those six games forty four runs to thirty.
Well, they need to tighten the belts a little bit on that end of
it, and we'll see what the rookie does in making his major league debut
on the mound here this afternoon, Dodgers and Brewers. Dodgers going for a
three game sweep, Dodgers seven and a half up in the West and the
Brewers five up in the Central Division. Tim all right, as we cut
you down to first pitch on this Sunday, Dodger fans, get your game

Of course, throughout the hour, we'll dive deeper to this pitching matchup.
We'll hear from Bobby Miller, who's going to get to start on Tuesday in
Philadelphia. Up next though, you're Otani. Rewind and we'll hear from Miguel
Vargas had a big home run yesterday as the Dodgers hit two home runs of
the eighth and they beat the Brewers five coming up, leading you to Dodgers
and Brewers on this Sunday afternoon. First bitch at one ten, Thanks for

with a triple. Show hey Otani's third triple of the season, and the
show is back. A one pitch swing on at a hammer deep right center,

Well, the show rolling on at Dodgers Stadium. Show hey Otani with

the Dodgers a five to three leading the eighth inning yesterday, but it was
Miguel Vargas coming off the bench his first career pinch hit home run in the
bottom half of the eighth inning. He led off the inning with a solo
shot to give the Dodgers a four to three leading. Afterwards, talk with
our own David Besse Naninio, Miguel Vargas comes up big for his first career
pinch hit home run and put the Dodgers ahead in the bottom of the eighth
inning. Miguel, you talked about your preparation. How did help you be
ready for that? At bad you know, help me? You know,
Uh, during the game, I was I was watching you know, the
via ware, you know, the whoopings they have. So once I see
a letter, you know, trying to be ready for you know, NYC
question on the game, and you know, I think again, we take

lefty. That was Brian Hudson, your former teammate. Were you more familiar

Morongo Cassino Dodgers Hunting game on your home for LA Dodgers Baseball. Brongo Casino
Dodgers on Deck continues on this Sunday afternoon as well. Lead you up to

Munsey still on the sixty day IL not doing baseball activities right now? Acording
to Dave Roberts yesterday who said that Max Munsey is well, not progressing with
the oblique injury, so that is not good news. Clayton Kershaw throwing earlier
today. More on that with David Vaz said Joe Kelly on a couple of
minor league rehab assignments. He's getting closer as well. All right, let's
head back out to Dodgers. Dan even check in with the Dodger Skipper.
Questions for Dave, Dave, can you just describe Dave? Can you talk
about the pressure in the dugouts with Dave Roberts another young pitcher making his major
league Thank you today college. You know got the list, Uh, not
a whole lot. I think that the comp I got was he's sort of
Gavin Stone, but throws with his left hand. Uh, there's a good
competitor there, there's command, and he moves the ball around. So uh,
you know, not scared. I just talked to him a little bit
earlier. He's excited, got his family and friends flying in from northern Atlanta,
which is great, so he'll be well represented, and uh, you
know, it's just another opportunity for us to see a Dodger farm hand make
his debut. So this is a good opportunity for Robos, especially the last
couple of years with these young pitchers coming up out of necessity. What do
you look for out of these guys in their major league debuts when you're judging
evaluating them as the game goes on. I think I think early on you're
you're obviously appreciating the emotions. It's been a quick assent for Robo and for
any for certain young pitchers, and just to try to make sure that their
emotions are intact. And I think a lot of times there's an armside miss
they're overthrowing adrenaline, but to see how quickly they can settle into the game
and then make pitches, and so, you know, after the first couple
of innings, there's a lot of adrenaline that starts to wear off, and
then you start to see if they can hold their stuff and see where the
command and the stuff plays, and then I'll kind of make a judgment call.
You know, during that outing, What did you think from what you
saw from Joe Kelly and Clayton earlier. I thought Clayton was good. It
was good to see him throw two innings. We accomplished what we wanted to
and Joe just wasn't sharp today, and so you know, hopefully at least
we got through it healthy and built up his arm and pitches. But I
don't think it was a great one for Joe. All those little plans go
for play to go through overs. Yeah, yeah, if all goes well,
Clayton will start a rehab and go through innings. You have a Chris
Taylor starting line up today against Dallas Kichel. Do you believe the confidence of
just past history between those two plays into Taylor's confidence even in a season like
this. I think it. Certainly there's familiarity. Obviously that was a big
hit. He has some success versus Kykeel, but that's that's years ago.
But I think that I don't think both players, either player has forgotten it.
But in the moment the ad bat, I don't think it really has
an impact. Obviously, like playing time, decisions aren't made in a vacuum.
But his vargas kind of shown you the sort of stuff that the plate
lately. That kind of pushes the case for him to play a little more
regularly. Yeah, it does, it does. So you know, like
I said yesterday, I like him versus both. I think he hangs in
there versus the right hander, and he's taking really good bats versus left hander.
I thought James took some good swings yesterday, which was great to see.
So now it's just trying to figure out, you know, best matchups
and if I want to give Andy a day, I think I've got some
options now, which is good. All right, there's Dave Roberts out on
the dugout talking about the injuries to the team, with some updates on Clayton
Kershaw, Joe Kelly, and certainly Justin Robleski Robo making the major league debut
today, the left hander for the Dodgers. Brought to you by Service Titan.
Dave Roberts is a Titan in his own right. He's got a plan
before his team hits the field. You need one for your growing contracting business
too. Let's Service Titan help you implement it. Learn more at Service Titan
dot com. We continue here on Dodgers on Deck. Well check in with
David Vessa. You just heard him talking to Dave Roberts. Yeah, we're
leading. That's the first pitch on this Sunday Dodgers and Brewers. I'm Tim
Kateson's Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network. This is Marongo Casino, Dodgers on Deck
on your home for the Blue All Season Law Law. It's the Dodgers and
Brewers on this Sunday afternoon. Justin Robleski makes his major league debut, first
pitch in this series finale coming up at one ten, joining Tim kats on
Dodgers on Deck. I accept everybody for who they are. This is Dodger
insider David Basse. All right, DV. Last year we saw the immersions
of guys like Imma Shean and Bobby Miller and Gavin Stone. They have certainly
put their imprint on this Dodger pitching staff. And now another young left handed
arm, Justin Robleski, makes his major league debut today. Yeah, Justin
Robleski will be on the mound for the Dodgers. The way it's been compared
to is Immit Shean bursting on the scene last year straight from double A barely
anytime at Oklahoma City, and Robleski made thirteen starts at Double A Tulsa this
year before earning a promotion to Oklahoma City, where he's made two starts.
And Tim, I've heard about Roblesky going back about a month. That's where
he really started to get on my radar, where scouts from other teams started
to tell me that he's got a ninety seven fastball, he's got a slider,
he's got a curveball, so he's not just a thrower. He's got
the full arsenal in his toolbox, ninety seven miles an hour to top it
off, and he has you know, late life on his fastball, so
it will be exciting to lay eyes on him, and you know, this
is the next wave. I was talking to landon Knack about it. Tim.
It's weird asking landon Knack this, but I said, who's the next
wave? He said, yeah, Robleski is part of that next wave.
So we'll get a look at him today. Yeah. His favorite player growing
up, by the way, Clayton Kershaw. So maybe don't tell Clayton that
here. There's a few of those guys around now, David, about your
Southern California four dealers for great offers on a Ford Broncos Sport or any other
Ford model during fourth of July, selithon all right, he tim, before
you ask me another question. Speaking of Kershaw, I just wanted to let
you know he threw a simulated game today and from here he will go out
on a rehab start, and he has it all mapped out. He was
explaining it to me yesterday and today when I saw him, he asked me
whether or not I wanted to step in if I was going to face him.
He said, I can't joke around. I gotta get through this,
but after that we could have some fun. So Kershaw threw it today and
he's hopefully feeling good, hopefully progressing in the right direction. Today the All
Star Reserves, the team gets announced DV. The Dodgers should have a couple
of guys making their way to Arlington. Yeah, I feel like Taoscar Hernandez
will be there. Not sure if you saw my tweet yesterday, Tim,
but Taoscar Hernandez wanted me to put it out there publicly that he does want
to participate in this year's Home Run Derby. He wants to be in it.
He deserves to be an All Star for the National League Freddie Freeman more
than likely not only will be on the team, but could be a starter
because of the injury to Bryce Harper. So Freddie, Taoscar Hernandez, and
I'm not sure about Tyler Glass now after the last four or five starts,
but Gavin Stone certainly has a case, as does Evan Phillips. And how
about this, Tim. I don't know if the players are going to vote
this way, but there has been some buzz about Alex Vesia. People have
been asking Alex Vessio whether or not he thinks he'll be an All Star.
He told me to zip it up and put it in my back pocket and
that you will do DV final thing. Mookie Betts, how's that hand progressing,
David, Well, it feels like it's going along better than it was.
Two days after he was hit on the hand. He was out here
again with Brandon McDaniel, the Dodgers VP of Player Performance, taking ground balls
and obviously noting it but simulated fielding and throwing across the diamond. And he
is going to be back in the sports at LA Booth today with Joe Davis
and Oral Herscheizers. So more Mookie on the TV, I told him.
Hey, you're trying to steal my shine. Yeah. More, Mookie did
a pretty good job. Thought he was gonna stick around for a half in
any the other night next you know, two, and he's later who's still
in the booth. So I'm pretty cool, all right, David, Well,
check back you with you just a little bit. Coming up here on
Marongo Casino Dodgers on Deck, will dive deeper into this pitching matchup. We'll
go high and tight of next out. You're Dodgers Magical Moment on this Sunday
afternoon. It's the Dodgers and Brewers. First pitch of one ten. I'm

one ten, who went a hot con It's time for the Hawfey Magical Moment.
Ditch Magical presented by Hawfy Hot Jobs. Nineteen seventy five All Star Game
in Milwaukee was the celebration actually for a Hank Aaron, who was playing in
his final All Star Game, having lost eleven of twelve All Star Games.
The American League was hungry for a win, but the National League had another
thing coming. The Nation League, led by Dodger manager Walter Alston. In
the second inning, leading off for the National League was Steve Garvey, followed
by another Dodger, Jimmy Winn. Consistency there's the best term to describe Garvey
hitting three eighteen eleven homers, fifty six runs. At it end, they're
the long guy that it is going. It is gone. League of Cup
off well one nothing later and Garvey is making a bid. Won the Most
Valuable Player award of the off Guard Game again. He won it last year.
Her there's a high drive and the deep leapt road he's backing up,
backing up. That one go to kept Bailey. Back to back home run
by Dodgers Steve Garvey and Jimmy when Kirk County on the call. Steve Garvey

next big step. Classes can fill up quickly. So enrolled today and I
can go to college dot com. And now joined by David Bassey. Here's
La Dodgers broadcaster and World Series champion Dodger Rick Monday. Rick, a beautiful
Sunday afternoon here at Dodgers Stadium. And when I think Dallas Kicele and Chris
Taylor facing off, which will happen today, I think of Game one of
the twenty seventeen World Series. First pitch Taylor hit halfway up the leftfield pavilion.
Yeah, and Kayko was a losing pitcher on that date. He also
pitched Game five of that World Series against the Dodgers, had a no decision
in that one. And that's the last time that the Dodgers have seen Kayko.
So he might as well pick up right where they're left off, right,
no doubt about it. And Miguel Vargas has picked up where he has
left off whenever given the opportunity. Isn't that a nice story that what we're
seeing, at least on the front end. Also, and by the way,
welcome back. James Albin had a couple of ase hits he got the
start was two for four on top of it. It's going to be interesting
to see now what happens with Miguel Vargas the pinch at home run in the
eighth inning and last night's ballgame, because he continues to swing the bat.
He's really a player, well, he can say, I think realistically kind
of without a position. He was at second base to begin with, lost
that job. If we're looking back in the history of Vargas, then they
moved him to left field, and now we're seeing him take some ground balls
also at third base, so is it a transition as well. One thing
about it, if you can hit, they'll find a position for you,
no doubt about it. And it feels like the Dodgers have noticed his maturity
from last year to this year. He is more prepared and obviously has a
better mental head about where things are for him early going. But what I've
noticed so far, he's got better knowledge of the strength zone away and that
was I think problematic for him initially, the breaking ball away, no question
about it. It's a tough pitch to begin with, but I didn't think
he really knew where the outside corner was for a long period of time,
maybe he has now made the adjustment and understands that you have to know your
strength zone. It's interpreted by the umpire, there's no question about it.
But if you're vulnerable in one particular area versus another, that's something to work
on. People say, well, you can take fly balls, you can
improve the outfield, you can take ground balls, you can improve the infield.
Granted, but if you've got a weakness and you don't observe it from
a hitting standpoint, if there is a for example, there are some players
that you can look at and say, in fact, the Dodgers have a
couple of guys too, a very high percentage of calls strike threes are away.
Well, is it because they're fooled by the pictures? Because they don't
know the outside corner? We're the limits of that corner. And that's something
that I think in this day and age, with all the information you can
find, it's a hitter's benefit to understand, Hey, is there one location
in the plate that I'm having difficulty recognizing baller strike? One thing you don't
see Rick when it comes to that is how about moving closer to the plate
If you're having trouble with that outside pitch, but that again, what if
you're vulnerable on the pitch inside. I mean, there's a lot of different
things to go into it. And I said this last night of the broadcast
with ten Nevert. I really think that now I'm looking at it slanted because
having played the game. But I think, really, if you look at
professional sports, someone can enlighten me. They have something else that is different.
In the mind. I think hitting a baseball, just the pure difficulty
in hitting a baseball, at least in my estimation, is probably, if
not the one of the most difficult things to do in professional sports, because
it's a reaction to an action. Really, the picture has the action,
you have the reaction. And I use the analogy a lot. If you
take your car keys or your house keys, hold them belt high, and
drop them on the floor, that's the amount of time that hitter has to
discern the velocity, the trajectory, is it a ball, is it a
strike, what's the situation? And then swing a bat that weighs two pounds.
We refer to it announces because it sounds lighter than two pounds, but
they weigh thirty two plus ounces, and then you have to hit it between
the white lines, and then you have to hit it between the white lines
and nobody standing out there with the glove catches it. Other than that,
hitting is easy. Jeez, Rick, I'm exhausted just listening. Listen to
you explain that. See now there's reason you didn't hit particularly well and little
at least I have an out now now I understand why. But I know
you can go back to your little legue coach and tell him, Hey,
coach, I found out. I did some study and I was able to
find it out. It's really difficult to do, and you can't do it
like I used to do with my tests. You can't cram at the last
minute. You have to have a plan. You can't go to home play
for a lot of things written onto the palm of your hand. Thanks Rick,
I'm gonna take a nap after that. We'll send it back to you
at the studio. Tim. That was very complex. Thank you, guys.

the start today, Bobby, So this is an interesting day for you and
the team to see what he has. Yeah, I'm excited for him.
Man. He's been he's been killing it in the minor leagues right now,
and and he obviously deserves his shot. He's been working really hard. So
I've met him. I've met him a few times before, and he's really
good dude, And I know he's got really good stuff, and he's got
the stuff to compete in the major leagues. And I guess you let me
know that he has the good luck number because he's wearing your old number,
number seventy when you made your major league debut. That's all right, that's
a pretty good number. Obviously not mine anymore, but I like it.
If you were to give him a piece of advice in a major league debut,
what would it be. I would say, just trust your stuff.
Don't think about the major league stadium or the fans or anything like that.
It's really just the same game, you know. That's the best advice I
could give is a trust the guy behind the plate. Will I'm pretty sure
he's catching today. He's a really good catcher. Trust the guy behind the
play. Trust your stuff. Just know that your stuff is gonna play,
you know, like whatever got you here, just just keep doing that and
stick with your strengths. It feels like you're a seasoned veteran now with all
these young guys around you. I mean, I would have to say after
Glass now and uh Kershaw, Bobby Miller maybe has more major league time after
James Paxton. Oh no, I'm still I'm still a young guy. I'm
still a young guy. I'm still a student of the game as always.
So but yeah, there, there's there's a lot of guys to look up
to on the seam, and a lot of guys you can pick brains and
and yeah, who do you pick the brain of most? I try to
I try to get Kershaw here and there. Yeah, but uh no,
I talked to Glass a lot. He's a really good guy, another tall
guy with a good velocity, a good breaking ball. So I try to
pick his brain a lot. When he's making a start ahead of you and
you're facing the same team, will you take notes, h Yeah for sure.
But he's also got a little bit of different stuff than me, obviously,
like different release. I had a different extension a little bit of a
different breaking ball. So but yeah, I definitely take notes. I watch
every pitch he throws, so I try to take notes on him. Speaking
of Clayton Kershaw, you were hanging over the dugout reeling watching him throw a
simulated game today. What did you see from him today that you could share?
I thought it was good. It all depends on what you ask him.
At the same time, you know, no matter how he looks out
here, like good or bad, you know he's always going to be ready
when the lights turn on in the stadium. So there's never a worry about
clacking Kershaw. So yeah, no matter how it goes good or bad or
whatever it is, he's always gonna be ready when when he pitches in a
real game. So no worries or anything. And he looks great, so
will Bobby Miller. You're going to be pitching again in a playoff environment in
Philadelphia. On Tuesday, we talked about your major league debut that was in
Atlanta, similar type of atmosphere. How much are you feeding off that,
thriving and looking forward to that? Ah, you know, I like to
live up to these moments. I feel like I'm born to pitch in these
moments, you know, the big games and stuff like that, and that's
something I'm always living for and really excited for. And yeah, it's a
really it's a really good baseball team that we're facing. So I'm always looking
to face the best competition available. Are you starting to feel like yourself again?
Yeah? Yeah, I'm getting a lot of confidence back. Still wasn't
like the best my stuff has been, but you know, I got away
with it, so you know that's a big confidence builder, and uh,
just looking to find some consistency here, all right. Before I let you
go, I just want to let you know that I got the stamp of
approval from Mookie bets on Bobby Ice because you got the tattoo, you got
the Ice chain when you walk into the stadium on your start days. So
Mookie loves the nickname. All right, all right, that's good to know,
all right, but you still are lukewarm on it. I don't I
don't mind it. I just don't call myself that. I'm just me.
So yeah, you are a great guy, Bobby Miller, easy guy to
cheer for, Bobby. That's why the fans love you. And thanks a
lot for your time. And we'll see you in Philly. Appreciate it seeing
Philly. All right, there he goes my guy, Bobby Miller. All
