00:00:00.200 --> 00:00:08.080
And now your host for Morongo Casino
Dodgers on Tech, Tam cays H.

2
00:00:08.160 --> 00:00:13.199
Hi, everybody, and welcome in
to Morongo Casino Dodgers on Deck. Hope

3
00:00:13.199 --> 00:00:19.120
you enjoy this beautiful Tuesday afternoon here
in southern California. You're Los Angeles Dodgers

4
00:00:19.320 --> 00:00:23.399
forty five and twenty nine on this
season, first place and all alone to

5
00:00:23.480 --> 00:00:28.160
top the NL last after taking two
of three over the Royals over the weekend.

6
00:00:28.199 --> 00:00:32.119
The Dodgers kept the winning going last
night in the series opener in Denver

7
00:00:32.240 --> 00:00:37.200
against the Colorado Rockies. A great
performance from the Big Maple Walker Bueller on

8
00:00:37.240 --> 00:00:41.679
the mountain tonight, hoping to duplicate
that first pitch from Corsefield that is coming

9
00:00:41.759 --> 00:00:45.079
up at five forty. Between then
and now, we got a lot to

10
00:00:45.159 --> 00:00:48.479
get to here. I'm Morongo Casino
Dodgers on Deck. We're gonna hear from

11
00:00:48.520 --> 00:00:53.960
the Dodger manager Dave Roberts. We'll
preview this pitching matchup with Walker Bueller set

12
00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:58.719
to go. Today is the ten
year anniversary of Clayton Kershaw's no hitter.

13
00:00:59.119 --> 00:01:03.560
David Vasse will go one on one
with the catcher that night at Dodger Stadium.

14
00:01:03.960 --> 00:01:07.319
Ay jay Ellis. Shortly we'll hear
from Kirsten Watson, who is on

15
00:01:07.439 --> 00:01:11.359
the field in Denver, and in
just a few minutes we'll head out to

16
00:01:11.359 --> 00:01:15.200
the Gallpin Motors broadcast booth. And
here from Rick Monday and Tim never Well.

17
00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:19.799
Last night in Denver, James Paxson
was really good the Big Maples.

18
00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:23.879
They call him seven innings, one
run, just two hits. He struck

19
00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:30.640
out eight along the way. He
was efficient ninety one pitches over seven innings,

20
00:01:30.879 --> 00:01:34.840
sixty three for strikes. And the
offense they gave him plenty of run

21
00:01:34.879 --> 00:01:38.159
support and started in the first with
ta Oscar and a three to two.

22
00:01:38.200 --> 00:01:41.799
Again there goes Freeman. Bitches swung
on and belt at deep to right center

23
00:01:41.840 --> 00:01:45.680
field, going back on it as
the right fielder totally it's off the wall

24
00:01:46.159 --> 00:01:49.760
around third is Freeman. He's on
his way to the play. He will

25
00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:55.200
score in the second with a two
out run scoring double his tasker Hernandez and

26
00:01:55.280 --> 00:02:00.000
the Dodgers lead at one to nothing. Ta Oscar Hernandez with the RBI double

27
00:02:00.359 --> 00:02:05.439
scoring Freddie Freeman. The Dodgers on
the board with a one nothing lead.

28
00:02:05.480 --> 00:02:09.560
In the second, they added more
showey Otani and RBI single scoring Miguel Rojas.

29
00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:15.039
Then Will Smith and RBI triple scoring
o'tani As. The Dodgers had a

30
00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:17.879
three to nothing lead, Stallings with
a homer. The only mistake that James

31
00:02:17.960 --> 00:02:22.520
Paxson made last night was the solo
shot in the second to make it a

32
00:02:22.599 --> 00:02:25.759
three to one game. Then the
seventh, the Dodgers tacked on more gl

33
00:02:25.840 --> 00:02:30.479
Rojas got the party started. Ohs
is two, four, three, two

34
00:02:30.599 --> 00:02:35.719
singles. He scored a run.
He'll swing and hit a hard ground ball

35
00:02:35.759 --> 00:02:38.479
past a diving Trenio at third.
That's down the left field line. Rounding

36
00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:42.840
second is Hayward. He's gonna get
way home. Here comes Hayward to the

37
00:02:42.840 --> 00:02:49.199
plate. The relay throw is not
in time. He's safe. Bigal Rojas

38
00:02:49.280 --> 00:02:53.639
with a double, driving in Hayward
and it's four to one. Miguel Rojas

39
00:02:53.719 --> 00:02:55.639
getting in in the action last night
offensively, we know what he could do

40
00:02:55.759 --> 00:03:00.280
defensively. Now in there for Mookie
Betts, who's out with the broke in

41
00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:04.759
hand. Dodgers with a four to
one lead. Calvin Evigio then a single

42
00:03:04.800 --> 00:03:07.439
des Center that scored roll Host the
Dodgers with a five to one lead in

43
00:03:07.439 --> 00:03:12.680
the eighth. The Dodgers tacked on
two more Jason Hayward and RBI single to

44
00:03:12.800 --> 00:03:15.800
right Freeman scored. Here comes Otani
two more runs across. It was eight

45
00:03:15.879 --> 00:03:20.719
seven to one lead in the top
of the ninth two more for the Dodgers.

46
00:03:20.719 --> 00:03:23.159
Twos were a wild last night.
Late Gavin Lucks an RBI single made

47
00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:27.599
it eight to one Dodgers lead.
Then Will Smith almost hit it out again

48
00:03:27.639 --> 00:03:30.280
and sack fly at a center that
scored Gavin Lucks. Dodgers with a nine

49
00:03:30.360 --> 00:03:36.080
to one lead. James Paxson with
the seven innings JP fireeyes and pitched two

50
00:03:36.120 --> 00:03:38.840
innings of relief. The eighth inning
he needed only five pitches. The ninth

51
00:03:38.840 --> 00:03:44.120
inning was a struggle bus He gave
up two home runs a couple of doubles,

52
00:03:44.120 --> 00:03:46.960
including an RBI double to Montero.
He gave up in that bottom half

53
00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:51.240
of the ninth inning four runs the
Rockies, with the Dodgers lead was already

54
00:03:51.240 --> 00:03:53.199
big. They go on and win
it by a final of nine to five.

55
00:03:53.360 --> 00:03:58.319
James Packson now seven to one on
the season as a Dodgers starter.

56
00:03:58.599 --> 00:04:01.800
Show Heltani with three five with the
walk. Last night, multiple hit game

57
00:04:01.919 --> 00:04:04.599
for Jason Hayward, who goes three
for five with a couple of ribis.

58
00:04:04.759 --> 00:04:09.360
Miguel Rojas, welcome to the starting
lineup. Three for five last night.

59
00:04:09.360 --> 00:04:12.840
In fact, the Dodgers five to
six, seven and eight hitters all had

60
00:04:13.039 --> 00:04:16.199
RBI's Gavin Lux in the ninth finally
get on the board with an RBI single

61
00:04:16.240 --> 00:04:19.800
as the Dodgers take the series opener
nine to five. Tonight, they look

62
00:04:19.879 --> 00:04:24.519
to make it two straight in Denver, Walker Bueller on the mount and with

63
00:04:24.560 --> 00:04:27.680
more. Let's head out to the
Gallpin Motors broadcast booth as we say hello

64
00:04:27.800 --> 00:04:30.439
to Rick Monday and Tim Never Guys, Thanks Tim very much. A nice,

65
00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:35.360
cool evening here in downtown Denver,
Colorado. At Corsfield the Dodgers and

66
00:04:35.480 --> 00:04:40.519
the Rockies, Game two of this
four game series, Dodgers winning last night

67
00:04:40.639 --> 00:04:43.959
nine to five. It was really
a runaway at nine to one, but

68
00:04:44.120 --> 00:04:47.000
four runs in the bottom of the
ninth inning for the Rockies made it relatively

69
00:04:47.040 --> 00:04:50.519
close, but the Dodgers picked up
their forty fifth win of the season,

70
00:04:50.600 --> 00:04:55.600
so forty five wins against twenty nine
losses. They start the night tonight,

71
00:04:56.040 --> 00:05:00.240
eight and a half games in front
of the San Francisco Giants. We're the

72
00:05:00.319 --> 00:05:02.160
lead in the Western Division. Meantime, the Rockies are in the basement of

73
00:05:02.160 --> 00:05:06.879
the West nineteen out, twenty five
and forty seven, and they are on

74
00:05:06.920 --> 00:05:12.480
pace for another rough season. Tonight, Walker Bueler takes this one and four

75
00:05:12.560 --> 00:05:15.000
record of the mound. He'll face
Austin Gomber, the left hander he is

76
00:05:15.079 --> 00:05:19.160
one and four as well. Last
night, Moll the first night that the

77
00:05:19.199 --> 00:05:24.920
Dodgers did not have Mookie Betts,
and they know they're not going to have

78
00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:28.519
him for a while. So sho
hail Tony batted the lead off and boy

79
00:05:28.560 --> 00:05:31.079
did he deliver. He delivered.
And one of the things we talked about

80
00:05:31.120 --> 00:05:33.720
too, really the beginning Dodgers want
to be able to get into the Rockies

81
00:05:33.759 --> 00:05:38.000
bullpen. We'll talk about their bullpen
a little bit later on. But the

82
00:05:38.040 --> 00:05:41.720
Dodgers have an amazing record when they
score first, as they did last night

83
00:05:41.720 --> 00:05:46.319
in the very first inning the RBI
doubled by Tiasca Hernandez. But they're thirty

84
00:05:46.360 --> 00:05:49.879
four wins and four losses when they
score first in a ballgame. And this

85
00:05:49.959 --> 00:05:54.720
is a very good ballpark in order
to do that, and for the Dodgers,

86
00:05:54.759 --> 00:05:58.680
they have absolutely handled the Rockies.
You go back to twenty eighteen.

87
00:05:58.720 --> 00:06:02.480
They're now seventy two wins and thirty
two losses. But I would also throw

88
00:06:02.519 --> 00:06:06.639
in the caveat that's in the past. The Dodgers have three more games if

89
00:06:06.639 --> 00:06:10.680
they want to be able to win
and sweep this series here in Denver.

90
00:06:10.800 --> 00:06:14.319
And again when you look at this
schedule coming up, you've got three more

91
00:06:14.319 --> 00:06:17.480
with the Rockies starting here tonight,
then two with the Angels Friday Saturday at

92
00:06:17.519 --> 00:06:21.720
Dodger Stadium, then back out on
the road to take on the Chicago White

93
00:06:21.759 --> 00:06:26.360
Sox, who have the worst record
in all of Major League Baseball by a

94
00:06:26.360 --> 00:06:29.319
long way. This is what you
would look at as a soft spot in

95
00:06:29.360 --> 00:06:32.079
the schedule. The Dodgers can't look
at the records. They've got to make

96
00:06:32.120 --> 00:06:35.279
hay over the next week. Absolutely, and we're going to see a different

97
00:06:35.319 --> 00:06:39.839
lineup tonight because they're going to be
facing a left hand of that being Austin

98
00:06:39.959 --> 00:06:44.279
Gomber as walker Buelah will go for
this Dodger bunk club, So a little

99
00:06:44.319 --> 00:06:47.959
bit different look at least in the
first five spots is kind of the normal

100
00:06:48.040 --> 00:06:53.040
area. But then Rojas again,
who's really picked up the pace in hitting.

101
00:06:53.079 --> 00:06:56.519
He's again at shortstop. KICKI her
Nanas would be at third. Miguel

102
00:06:56.639 --> 00:07:01.000
Vargas just recalled yesterday. We'll start
in left field, and Chris Taylor gets

103
00:07:01.040 --> 00:07:05.040
his first start of the season at
second base. Tailor bat ninth. And

104
00:07:05.160 --> 00:07:11.000
for the Rockies, they've got their
mainstay, Charlie Blackman back in the lineup,

105
00:07:11.040 --> 00:07:15.519
the designated hitter. He has hit
Walker Bueller pretty well in the past.

106
00:07:15.199 --> 00:07:18.959
He has a three to sixty average
with seven extra base hits. He's

107
00:07:19.000 --> 00:07:25.079
eighteen for fifty against Buehler. Yeah, he's hit well, no question about

108
00:07:25.120 --> 00:07:28.240
it. Here's my note on the
reason the Dodgers wanted to get into the

109
00:07:28.240 --> 00:07:31.240
bullpen. A is he do with
most all bullpens itself, but especially here.

110
00:07:31.279 --> 00:07:34.120
First of all, the month of
June, the Rockies overall had dropped

111
00:07:34.439 --> 00:07:39.600
twelve of their last sixteen games.
Can't blame it all on the bullpen,

112
00:07:39.720 --> 00:07:43.959
but the bullpen in the month of
June hasn't earned her an average of over

113
00:07:44.240 --> 00:07:47.920
eight. They've been giving a fifty
two runs in fifty eight in the third

114
00:07:47.959 --> 00:07:53.120
innings. The battle cry get to
the pin. Freddy Freeman was on base

115
00:07:53.160 --> 00:07:56.920
six times last night and he was
one for one. What will he do

116
00:07:57.040 --> 00:08:01.439
tonight? Stand By we'll find out
together short as we count you down to

117
00:08:01.480 --> 00:08:05.279
the first pitch Dodgers and Rockies,
Game two of this four game series.

118
00:08:05.319 --> 00:08:07.800

matchup. We'll hear from aj Ellis, he was behind the plate the night

124

Clayton Kershaw through a no hitter ten
years ago. Today, we'll hear from

135
00:09:22.360 --> 00:09:26.960
touching third, he's coming around.
Here's the throw. It is cut off

136
00:09:26.960 --> 00:09:30.919
and he slides in safely. It's
a two out RBI base hit for show

137
00:09:31.000 --> 00:09:35.120

two to nothing. These swings and lines

It's an opposite field base hit. This

139
00:09:39.080 --> 00:09:41.679
will be extra basis. He's around
first and into second. He's got his

base and he's safe stalling base for
Otani. He gets in with a pop

143
00:09:56.919 --> 00:10:01.879

at all by Stallings, but show hey

144
00:10:01.879 --> 00:10:05.039

stores, Amazon and eto win dot com.

151
00:10:31.559 --> 00:10:35.919
That's it t O e n dot
com. This is Kirston's corner with

152
00:10:37.159 --> 00:10:41.759
Kirston Watson. Hey, Kirston now
joins us from the field in Denver before

153
00:10:41.799 --> 00:10:46.200
the Dodgers and Rockies at krus Field
and Kirston the left hander Austin Gomber on

154
00:10:46.240 --> 00:10:48.159
the mound. That means the Dodgers
got a lot of righties in the lineup,

155
00:10:48.200 --> 00:10:52.720
including CT three. Yeah, Chris
Taylor. As so for the plan,

156
00:10:54.080 --> 00:10:56.440
who you have a guy like Chris
Taylor's looking to get back on track.

157
00:10:56.559 --> 00:10:58.440
Saw him have a huge home run
the other day and he was even

158
00:10:58.480 --> 00:11:01.320
saying that, you know, hopefully
that's from unlocks them and get him going

159
00:11:01.360 --> 00:11:05.320
where he wants. To be putting
in a lot of hard work. But

160
00:11:05.559 --> 00:11:09.519
you'll notice also with him playing at
second base, and so with the injury

161
00:11:09.600 --> 00:11:13.759
to Mookie Bets, Dave Roberts Swift
saying kind of with kind of what we're

162
00:11:13.799 --> 00:11:16.600
going to be seeing at shortstop,
which is primarily going to be Miguel Rojas,

163
00:11:16.639 --> 00:11:20.519
and then Keith a Hernandez here and
there, and then at third base

164
00:11:20.919 --> 00:11:24.519
it's going to be Cavin Bigio as
well as Key k here and there.

165
00:11:24.799 --> 00:11:28.600
So I think with that he was
saying, and he likes Chris Taylor at

166
00:11:28.720 --> 00:11:33.000
second at the end for Gavin Luck, especially as you mentioned, with a

167
00:11:33.080 --> 00:11:37.399
leftie on the mound, so that's
kind of and he's not in the outfield,

168
00:11:37.399 --> 00:11:39.840
we'll see him at second, so
he kind of looking at it in

169
00:11:39.879 --> 00:11:43.279
that way. And then with Miguel
Bark's coming back, with Mookie Bets playing

170
00:11:43.279 --> 00:11:46.320
on the I l this is what
the plan for him is going to be

171
00:11:46.480 --> 00:11:50.840
playing in left field against leftie.
So it's nice to kind of, you

172
00:11:50.879 --> 00:11:52.879
know, these guys are getting different
opportunities dates that he wants to run guys

173
00:11:52.879 --> 00:11:56.519
out there, get him in a
good spot. So today is another just

174
00:11:56.519 --> 00:11:58.840
for the example of that Kirsten joins
us brought you by Cars for Kids.

175
00:11:58.840 --> 00:12:01.919
That is the way to get rid
of your old car. Donated to day

176
00:12:01.919 --> 00:12:03.679
in your car can be picked up
tomorrow. Is that easy? Donating now

177
00:12:03.679 --> 00:12:09.279
at carsfrokids dot org. That's Cars
with a K. Walker Buehler back on

178
00:12:09.320 --> 00:12:13.600
the mound tonight, curious and it
feels like every start he makes he's maybe

179
00:12:13.639 --> 00:12:16.879
getting in a little bit of a
rhythm. Now, yeah, you know,

180
00:12:16.960 --> 00:12:20.080
I think that's exactly what it is
and what I can appreciate when it

181
00:12:20.120 --> 00:12:22.759
comes to Walker Bueler, he's been
very transparent with the media just kind of

182
00:12:22.759 --> 00:12:28.039
where he's at, how he's feeling. And he's expressed some frustration because you

183
00:12:28.080 --> 00:12:31.960
know, when you're coming back from
an injury and the second time Tommy John

184
00:12:31.039 --> 00:12:35.200
surgery a couple of years and took
them to get here. So when you

185
00:12:35.240 --> 00:12:37.840
think about just all of that time
away from baseball and of course is going

186
00:12:37.919 --> 00:12:41.679
to get take time to get your
feet under you. And even Dave Robert's

187
00:12:41.679 --> 00:12:43.759
at one point had said, you
know, maybe like five to seven starts

188
00:12:43.759 --> 00:12:46.320
he could be in a good spot. But he's say he was like,

189
00:12:46.360 --> 00:12:50.720
you know, it's as much as
you want to say that sometimes it's hard

190
00:12:50.759 --> 00:12:52.600
to say that because you just don't
know. But the biggest thing is is,

191
00:12:52.639 --> 00:12:56.279
like you mentioned Walker, with every
start, he's learning more about kind

192
00:12:56.279 --> 00:13:00.720
of stuff, how it plays,
moving in that right direction, and even

193
00:13:00.840 --> 00:13:05.039
with his last outing against the Rangers
sequencing really really well. The only time

194
00:13:05.200 --> 00:13:09.600
Tonally gott in him was that Corey
Seeger home run, and to be fair,

195
00:13:09.679 --> 00:13:13.039
it was a multiple like three run
home run, but that was the

196
00:13:13.080 --> 00:13:16.679
one time where he kind of tried
to bully him in a sense, and

197
00:13:16.720 --> 00:13:20.240
Corey Seeker, we've seen what he's
done before and so ultimately he got the

198
00:13:20.279 --> 00:13:26.799
best of him. So because of
that, you know, ol Walker's learning

199
00:13:26.799 --> 00:13:28.639
about where he's at, learning what
works, and so it's kind of just

200
00:13:28.639 --> 00:13:33.240
this evolution of Walker at the moment. But Dave does feel that he continues

201
00:13:33.279 --> 00:13:37.919
to progress and continues to show that
he is getting back to where he wants

202
00:13:37.960 --> 00:13:41.080
to be hopefully, So Kirsten,
we appreciate it. We will check you

203
00:13:41.120 --> 00:13:43.240
with you after the game still to
come here on Wrongo Casino, Dodgers on

220
00:14:58.240 --> 00:15:03.480
head back out now Denver and check
out with the Dodgerskiver, any questions for

221
00:15:03.559 --> 00:15:07.960
Dave? Dave? Can you just
describe Dave? Can you talk about the

222
00:15:07.000 --> 00:15:13.720
pressure in the dugouts with Dave Roberts
Dave? With Walker going today, as

223
00:15:13.799 --> 00:15:18.039
you can see him continue just to
progress back from having that Tommy John surge,

224
00:15:18.039 --> 00:15:20.320
You're getting back to getting where he
wants to be as a pitcher.

225
00:15:20.559 --> 00:15:24.519
Are there things that you're looking to
see from him that just show you that

226
00:15:24.679 --> 00:15:26.720
not only of course he's healthy,
but the stuff is where he wants it.

227
00:15:28.440 --> 00:15:33.679
Yeah, you know, with with
Walker, it's I think there's still

228
00:15:33.720 --> 00:15:39.039
an upward trend still kind of you
know, trying to grasp the consistency of

229
00:15:39.120 --> 00:15:48.960
the throw. The different pitches here. The ball certainly reacts differently as far

230
00:15:48.960 --> 00:15:52.320
as being at altitude. I think, you know, just watching him,

231
00:15:52.480 --> 00:15:56.360
I think just stay in his delivery. The breaking ball is just going to

232
00:15:56.360 --> 00:16:00.080
be a little different here. Just
try to command that fastball and this team,

233
00:16:00.320 --> 00:16:03.879
like many of the teams we talk
about, they're aggressive and trying to

234
00:16:03.879 --> 00:16:08.720
acquire strike one and get getting in
and out of at bats and hopefully give

235
00:16:08.799 --> 00:16:12.759
us a link that James gave us
yesterday. All right, there's Dave Roberts

Joining Tim Cates on Dodgers on Deck.

247
00:17:07.920 --> 00:17:14.319
I accept everybody for who they are. This is Dodger insider David Basse al

248
00:17:14.400 --> 00:17:18.640
right, DV. It's June eighteenth, ten years ago today, Clayton Kershaw

249
00:17:18.720 --> 00:17:22.880
through that no hitter. What sticks
out? What do you remember? Well,

250
00:17:22.000 --> 00:17:26.279
Number one, Tim, It was
one of the most dominant performances I've

251
00:17:26.319 --> 00:17:32.839
ever seen, and honestly Major League
Baseball has ever seen. I still have

252
00:17:33.079 --> 00:17:40.519
the one sheet here from that night
where it really lays out dominant Kershaw was

253
00:17:41.240 --> 00:17:45.240
that night at Dodgers Stadium against the
Rockies, who had guys like Troy Tulowitzki

254
00:17:45.480 --> 00:17:51.000
in their starting lineup. It wasn't
this version of the Rockies. So you

255
00:17:51.039 --> 00:17:56.200
know, the one thing that stands
out the good Miguel Rojas's great play down

256
00:17:56.240 --> 00:18:00.759
the line at third base when Rojas
was just a rookie and major League Baseball

257
00:18:00.799 --> 00:18:03.440
he was starting that night at third
base. He saved the no hitter for

258
00:18:03.559 --> 00:18:10.039
kershawn the seventh inning. And then
I remember Hanley Ramirez's poor throw to Adrian

259
00:18:10.079 --> 00:18:15.680
Gonzalez to ruin the perfect game.
But still Clayton Kershaw the only pitcher in

260
00:18:15.799 --> 00:18:22.440
Major League Baseball history that has ever
recorded fifteen strikeouts without allowing a hit or

261
00:18:22.440 --> 00:18:26.920
a walk in a game that is
certainly pretty impressive. David is driven by

262
00:18:26.920 --> 00:18:30.240
Ford F Series, America's best selling
trucks for forty seven years. In counting.

263
00:18:30.400 --> 00:18:34.319
Ford gives you freedom of choice gas
hybrid electric, head of your Southern

264
00:18:34.319 --> 00:18:40.039
California four dealers and find yours Ford
F Series built tough. That was Clayton

265
00:18:40.119 --> 00:18:44.559
Kershaw ten years ago. Dv.
Clayton Kershaw twenty twenty four. Where's he

266
00:18:44.599 --> 00:18:48.079
at? Well, He'll be at
Rancho Kuckamunga tomorrow. Tim It will be

267
00:18:48.200 --> 00:18:56.039
his first rehab start. He's thrown
simulated games at Dodgers Stadium, He's thrown

268
00:18:56.400 --> 00:19:00.960
simulated games at Rancho Kuckamunga, but
tomorrow it will be an actual game.

269
00:19:00.000 --> 00:19:06.039
And just think about it as it
being his first start of a Cactus League

270
00:19:06.079 --> 00:19:10.200
season. So he'll go about two
or three innings, depending on the pitch

271
00:19:10.279 --> 00:19:14.720
count. And funny enough, Kershaw
sent a text to his buddy and our

272
00:19:14.799 --> 00:19:18.799
friend, Brad Paisley and offered him
tickets to the Rancho Cucamonga game tomorrow as

273
00:19:18.839 --> 00:19:23.359
a joke. But Brad's not available
to drive out there tomorrow. He's not

274
00:19:23.400 --> 00:19:27.200
available, but there aren't limited tickets
available to go out there to the epicenter

275
00:19:27.200 --> 00:19:32.359
there in Rancho Kuckamonga and check out
Clayton Kershaw DV. We appreciate it.

276

You're looking forward to your interview with

June eighteenth, twenty fourteen, the
Dodgers added the ravine playing host of

288
00:20:37.039 --> 00:20:41.200
the Colorado Rockies, a night in
which Clayton Clayton Kershaw was almost perfect,

289
00:20:41.240 --> 00:20:45.960
but you threw a no hitter,
no balls, two strikes, two outs,

290
00:20:47.839 --> 00:20:52.680
fourteen strikeouts for Kershaw. Corey Dickerson
is the batter. Here comes the

So enrolled today and I can go

308
00:22:19.839 --> 00:22:27.200
David Basse. Here's LA Dodgers broadcaster
and World Series champion Dodger Rick Monday.

309
00:22:27.920 --> 00:22:32.920
Well Game one, Rick without Mookie
Bets, they went pretty well last night.

310
00:22:33.839 --> 00:22:37.200
Well it went pretty well, yes, overall, that's not to eliminate

311
00:22:37.279 --> 00:22:42.319
the loss of one of the really
premier players in Major League Baseball. So

312
00:22:42.839 --> 00:22:48.119
the Dodgers change in the lineup around
last night and again they'll have a little

313
00:22:48.119 --> 00:22:52.680
bit different to look also with the
Otani, the leadoff hitter Will Smith and

314
00:22:52.680 --> 00:22:56.359
then Freddie Freeman against the lefty.
We see now a little different scenario kk

315
00:22:56.480 --> 00:23:00.720
here Nanas at third, Miguel Vargas
just re called yesterday but playing left field,

316
00:23:02.039 --> 00:23:04.759
and Chris Taylor will be at second
base, and of course also in

317
00:23:04.880 --> 00:23:11.359
right field will be Tiascar Hernandez in
that area. So yeah, not all

318
00:23:11.279 --> 00:23:15.559
a bad game at all. The
offense was right there. They got off

319
00:23:15.559 --> 00:23:18.960
the very good start three runs over
the first couple of innings. And for

320
00:23:18.039 --> 00:23:22.480
the Rockies, yeah, this has
been a long season already for Colorado,

321
00:23:22.519 --> 00:23:26.480
they've already lost forty seven games.
Dodgers trying to win their forty sixth here

322
00:23:26.880 --> 00:23:32.039
tonight of the season. Rick,
I'm glad you brought up Miguel Vargas back

323
00:23:32.079 --> 00:23:36.640
in the starting lineup tonight. I've
heard from other outfielders that have played at

324
00:23:36.680 --> 00:23:41.799
Coors Field. Left field at Coors
Field is not an easy place to play.

325
00:23:41.880 --> 00:23:48.559
It's as expansive of any left field
in baseball. Yeah, this clue.

326
00:23:48.119 --> 00:23:53.440
I never played the outfield position in
this ballpark. It did not exist

327
00:23:53.440 --> 00:23:56.440
when I was playing. But I
will tell you with the amount of square

328
00:23:56.440 --> 00:24:00.880
footage in left field, center field, in right field, this is not

329
00:24:00.920 --> 00:24:06.400
an easy place to play, period. And also especially in right field and

330
00:24:06.480 --> 00:24:10.359
at first base, you know the
sun is really problematic at a six forty

331
00:24:10.400 --> 00:24:12.960
local start time. We'll see it
again tonight tomorrow and then again on the

332
00:24:14.000 --> 00:24:17.799
final game of the series before the
Dodgors are head back home briefly for that

333
00:24:17.920 --> 00:24:22.319
two game weekend series against the Angels
in the Freeway Series. But it's going

334
00:24:22.400 --> 00:24:26.519
to be an adventure because this is
a new transition. If you're looking at

335
00:24:26.599 --> 00:24:30.480
Vargus playing in left field, he
has not had particularly great routes in his

336
00:24:30.599 --> 00:24:34.480
first stop this year at the big
league level playing in left field. So

337
00:24:34.480 --> 00:24:38.799
we'll see how it goes tonight.
It's funny you mentioned the sun. When

338
00:24:38.839 --> 00:24:42.720
they show it on TV, they
always talk about what a beautiful sunset it

339
00:24:44.000 --> 00:24:47.400
is. But first baseman, I
have told me it's anything, but you

340
00:24:47.440 --> 00:24:51.640
get blinded when that sun goes down
there. Yeah, I've said it before.

341
00:24:51.720 --> 00:24:56.200
It reminds me of Montreal when they
first got the franchise up there and

342
00:24:56.240 --> 00:25:02.480
then played it to Jerry Park Jorie
as they they called it. And Ron

343
00:25:02.559 --> 00:25:04.400
Fairley was the first baseman, the
former Dodger. Well, he was the

344
00:25:04.400 --> 00:25:07.839
first basement for the Expos that first
year they went up there, and fairly

345
00:25:07.880 --> 00:25:11.319
with a runner at first base,
as the setting sun was down in the

346
00:25:11.400 --> 00:25:15.640
left field corner, really left field
into the foul territory. You would see

347
00:25:15.880 --> 00:25:22.920
Ron Fairley would flip down sunglasses,
waiting and anticipating either a pickoff throw from

348
00:25:22.920 --> 00:25:26.920
the pitcher or a throw from the
third basement. And he really asked the

349
00:25:26.960 --> 00:25:30.000
third baseman if you're going to throw
the ball to me in the first couple

350
00:25:30.039 --> 00:25:33.759
of innings with that setting sun,
he would prefer that you bounce the ball

351
00:25:33.920 --> 00:25:37.079
on the ground versus throwing it in
the air, especially high before we let

352
00:25:37.160 --> 00:25:41.319
you go. It would be hard
press not to ask you about the tenth

353
00:25:41.400 --> 00:25:48.519
anniversary of Clayton Kershaw's no hitter.
You called two no hitters in a span

354
00:25:48.640 --> 00:25:53.200
of eighteen days ten years ago,
Josh Beckett's and Philly and then Kershaw's had

355
00:25:53.240 --> 00:25:59.599
Dodger Stadium against these Rockies. Both
special, but I think Kershaw's even more

356
00:25:59.640 --> 00:26:02.720
so because he was the first guy
that threw the no hitter and had fifteen

357
00:26:02.759 --> 00:26:07.079
strikeouts in a ballgame. How he
maneuvered through that game was absolutely scintillating,

358
00:26:07.720 --> 00:26:11.200
and not too many people were leaving
their seats. I know you're coming up

359
00:26:11.559 --> 00:26:15.400
with a guy who didn't catch many
pitches. But he was the catcher behind

360
00:26:15.400 --> 00:26:19.039
the plate in that no hitter for
Clayton Kershaw On that's coming up in just

361
00:26:19.079 --> 00:26:22.559
a few minutes. That's right.
A j Ellis will join us his thoughts

362
00:26:22.559 --> 00:26:27.279
and memories of that special night at
Dodgers Stadium. Rick, thanks a lot.

363
00:26:27.400 --> 00:26:30.880
We'll check with you and Tim Nevertt
a little bit later in the show.

364
00:26:32.000 --> 00:26:33.559
Look forward to it, David,
have a great night. All right.

365
00:26:33.599 --> 00:26:37.359
There he goes the great Rick Monday, Tim in Denver, Colorado.

366
00:26:37.920 --> 00:26:40.960
We'll send him back to you in
the studio. All right, Thanks a

367
00:26:40.960 --> 00:26:42.079

373
00:27:00.960 --> 00:27:07.640
Dodger fans, A j Ellis one
of the good guys. The Dodgers catcher

374
00:27:07.920 --> 00:27:11.680
was behind the plate that night ten
years ago. Tonight in which Clayton Kershaw

threw his no hitter. We'll hear
from A j Ellis next Dodgers Rockies.

382
00:27:52.599 --> 00:27:57.279
likely be vest fielding insults from a
Dodger player. It's an engagement of endearment.

383
00:27:57.319 --> 00:28:03.279
This is high end well. Today's
a special day in Dodger history.

384
00:28:03.599 --> 00:28:08.799
Ten years ago, tonight at Dodger
Stadium, Clayton Kershaw pitched one of the

385
00:28:08.839 --> 00:28:15.319
greatest games ever seen in baseball history, his one and only career no hitter

386
00:28:15.640 --> 00:28:21.599
where he had fifteen strikeouts against You
guessed it, the Rockies at Dodger Stadium,

387
00:28:21.920 --> 00:28:25.119
and his catcher that night was aj
Ellis, and we had a chance

388
00:28:25.160 --> 00:28:30.279
to catch up with AJ to hear
his memories about that special night. Noice.

389
00:28:30.359 --> 00:28:33.559
We joke about it, but you
know, you have been an amazing

390
00:28:33.599 --> 00:28:37.680
advocate and amazing voice for the Dodgers, and you're not afraid of telling as

391
00:28:37.680 --> 00:28:41.440
it is, and you give the
Dodger fans a great perspective of what it's

392
00:28:41.480 --> 00:28:44.119
like on a daily basis. Well, thank you so much for that.

393
00:28:44.279 --> 00:28:48.799
It's anniversary of you catching that no
hitter. Where do you rank that being

394
00:28:48.880 --> 00:28:52.400
on the field, being there with
Kershaw and being the catcher the night that

395
00:28:52.440 --> 00:28:55.920
he threw that no hitter in your
career? Oh, I mean, it's

396
00:28:56.079 --> 00:29:02.039
it's without a doubt a top three
time five moment of my professional career,

397
00:29:02.720 --> 00:29:07.240
you know, especially I look at
regular season events and regular season you know

398
00:29:07.400 --> 00:29:08.640
games that I got to play in, and if that's the case, it's

399
00:29:08.640 --> 00:29:11.799
definitely probably number one. Yeah.
I felt like I still feel like one

400
00:29:11.839 --> 00:29:15.960
of the greatest privileges of my career
was being able to work sixty feet away

401
00:29:15.960 --> 00:29:18.480
from this, the future Hall of
Famer that that Clayton is and got to

402
00:29:18.480 --> 00:29:23.880
see his his uh, his work
ethic and in his determination and his character

403
00:29:25.039 --> 00:29:29.240
up close for I don't know,
eight or nine years when the count count

404
00:29:29.319 --> 00:29:30.640
some of the minor league time we
got to spend together as well, and

405
00:29:30.640 --> 00:29:36.240
for our professional relationship to transcend into
the close personal friendship that we have now.

406
00:29:36.839 --> 00:29:40.000
You know, he's still a guy
that I in regular contact with.

407
00:29:40.039 --> 00:29:42.039
Our families are in close contact with
each other, and you know, to

408
00:29:42.079 --> 00:29:45.039
be there and be able to share
that that day with him, you know,

409
00:29:45.119 --> 00:29:48.400
it's crazy. I think it's been
seven years now and just uh,

410
00:29:48.759 --> 00:29:52.799
you know, uh, it was
just a special, special time. I

411
00:29:53.160 --> 00:29:56.519
think if I look think back over
the course of my career, you know,

412
00:29:56.799 --> 00:30:02.319
outside of some of those fun clinching
games, I think it maybe be

413
00:30:02.480 --> 00:30:03.599
asking a lot that it was your
favorite game you ever played in. There

414
00:30:03.640 --> 00:30:07.880
was a we clinched in twenty fifteen
in San Francisco, which was which is

415
00:30:07.920 --> 00:30:11.400
really special. To clinch up there
against the Giants, and Clayton threw a

416
00:30:11.400 --> 00:30:15.480
complete game of one hitter. He
was almost there a complete game one and

417
00:30:15.519 --> 00:30:18.960
struck out thirteen or fourteen guys and
then be able to celebrate there in San

418
00:30:18.039 --> 00:30:22.480
fran and the clubhouse and then afterwards
at the hotel. That probably is probably

419
00:30:22.480 --> 00:30:26.440
my favorite Recro season moment, but
after that would definitely be Clayton's, you

420
00:30:26.440 --> 00:30:29.480
know, his no hitter, and
that did that game against the Rockies.

421
00:30:29.759 --> 00:30:33.039
I went back to watch that entire
game last night. I wanted to point

422
00:30:33.039 --> 00:30:37.720
out a couple of different at bats. But before we do, I know,

423
00:30:37.839 --> 00:30:41.119
Clayton's all on that five day schedule, good or bad. The next

424
00:30:41.200 --> 00:30:44.880
day he's on to the next start. But do you remember what it was

425
00:30:45.079 --> 00:30:48.720
like the day after the no hitter
when he walked into the clubhouse. Did

426
00:30:48.799 --> 00:30:52.359
you guys drive to the ballpark together
that day? What was it like if

427
00:30:52.359 --> 00:30:55.599
you remember? Now? Yeah,
no, I think it was I think

428
00:30:55.599 --> 00:30:59.640
it was a little bit of business
as usual for him, But also I

429
00:30:59.640 --> 00:31:02.880
think he was out was really still
in the reflection mode of just how special

430
00:31:02.880 --> 00:31:04.200
the previous night was. It wasn't
just a no hitter, I mean it

431
00:31:04.240 --> 00:31:08.039
was it was it was him,
you know, on the national stage,

432
00:31:08.440 --> 00:31:11.200
you know, really putting a stamp
on you know, who he was was

433
00:31:11.279 --> 00:31:14.839
the dominant picture. I think everyone
at that point knew, you know,

434
00:31:14.920 --> 00:31:17.839
he had kind of you know,
transcended into being the best picture on the

435
00:31:17.839 --> 00:31:21.240
planet for that stretch of time that
he was that he was out there competing,

436
00:31:21.640 --> 00:31:22.599
But for him to do it in
the way that he did. It

437
00:31:22.640 --> 00:31:26.440
wasn't just a no hitter. It
was completely utter dominance and it was the

438
00:31:26.480 --> 00:31:30.160
talk of baseball for the week to
follow it. And I think that was

439
00:31:30.160 --> 00:31:32.920
in the midst of I'm not mistaken, like a thirty eight or thirty nine

440
00:31:32.920 --> 00:31:36.039
Indian scoreless streak he had going as
well. So he was he was at

441
00:31:36.039 --> 00:31:38.720
the at as our friend John Pratt, he was at the peak of his

442
00:31:38.799 --> 00:31:44.880
powers and he was he was,
he was absolutely dominant over that over the

443
00:31:44.960 --> 00:31:48.720
course of over the course of that
that month. And yeah, so I

444
00:31:48.720 --> 00:31:51.359
think coming in the next day,
you know, obviously there's there's the next

445
00:31:51.440 --> 00:31:53.279
name media rush that comes as the
national media now wants to be a part

446
00:31:53.279 --> 00:31:56.680
of it, and there's UH interviews, and you know, people will famil

447
00:31:56.759 --> 00:32:00.559
the network want to connecting radio interviews, and so there was definitely a flurry

448
00:32:00.599 --> 00:32:06.079
of people who really wanted to get
a little bit farther behind the curtain of

449
00:32:06.119 --> 00:32:08.440
what that game is all about.
Hey, speaking of the celebration, there's

450
00:32:08.480 --> 00:32:14.720
that iconic photo of you and Kershaw
embracing on the mound. How big of

451
00:32:14.759 --> 00:32:19.680
that photo is hanging in your living
room right now? Is it sixteen twenty

452
00:32:19.759 --> 00:32:22.960
or larger? It is, you
know what I think? Uh, well,

453
00:32:22.960 --> 00:32:24.960
which one? We got one?
We got one on each floor of

454
00:32:24.960 --> 00:32:30.640
the house. You know, you
know there I'll be first one to be

455
00:32:30.279 --> 00:32:32.839
self deprecated. And there are people
out there who will say that I am

456
00:32:32.920 --> 00:32:37.640
sitting right now in the house that
curseh Off built. I'm not. I'm

457
00:32:37.680 --> 00:32:42.079
not. Like there's part of it
that can't deny that our relationship was special.

458
00:32:42.119 --> 00:32:45.960
And I will be the first admit
that my crew was probably extended and

459
00:32:45.279 --> 00:32:50.720
probably a little bit overinflated because of
our relationship and my ability to work with

460
00:32:50.799 --> 00:32:52.759
him. But no, I do
have a nice I haven't I you know,

461
00:32:52.920 --> 00:32:55.559
honestly, Dave, I have him
planning up. I do haven't been

462
00:32:57.319 --> 00:33:01.279
full of no Hitter. The memorability
from that game, the scorecard and baseball

463
00:33:01.319 --> 00:33:05.200
from that game, and a couple
of other items were definitely those photos.

464
00:33:06.000 --> 00:33:08.319
And we've talked about doing something and
putting putting up, putting it up,

465
00:33:08.359 --> 00:33:13.400
maybe a plaque. But at the
same time, like it's similar to what

466
00:33:13.480 --> 00:33:16.000
you said earlier, it's like not
about like the items, like you mentioned

467
00:33:16.039 --> 00:33:21.799
their ring, It's about the relationships
and it's about the memories and like I

468
00:33:21.799 --> 00:33:24.079
I love the memories I have from
that day and even just talking right now,

469
00:33:24.079 --> 00:33:28.039
I'm smiling right now just thinking back
to so much that happened. But

470
00:33:28.119 --> 00:33:30.400
not after he showers did his media, he was sitting there by the locker.

471
00:33:30.480 --> 00:33:34.640
And you know, one of the
traditions I had when I was in

472
00:33:34.759 --> 00:33:37.480
LA and in my career was if
the Dodgers of the team I played with

473
00:33:37.519 --> 00:33:40.359
one, my son Luke got to
come and spend time in the clubhouse afterwards,

474
00:33:40.400 --> 00:33:44.400
because the clubhouse was was was fun
and boiterous, and you know,

475
00:33:44.440 --> 00:33:45.279
it's a good, good place for
kids, and you know, he got

476
00:33:45.279 --> 00:33:49.359
to come there and have a chocolate
milk and just have a good time.

477
00:33:49.400 --> 00:33:52.640
But he, uh, there's a
I have a great picture of him and

478
00:33:52.640 --> 00:33:55.160
Clayton and they both kind of holding
up a zero sign with their fingers and

479
00:33:55.240 --> 00:33:58.599
Luke has no idea what he's doing. He's you know, he's five years

480
00:33:58.599 --> 00:34:00.160
old at the time and I'm or
four years old at time, and he

481
00:34:00.160 --> 00:34:02.519
doesn't even know what he's doing,
but he's dame with Clayton. They're both

482
00:34:02.519 --> 00:34:07.160
holding up a zero. And it's
like memories like that are what are really

483
00:34:07.440 --> 00:34:12.159
much more special than uh, you
know, any any framed photo or uh,

484
00:34:12.239 --> 00:34:15.320
you know, nostalgic plaque or anything
like that. It's the memories,

485
00:34:15.320 --> 00:34:20.039
it's the people. It's conversations like
this just you know, we get to

486
00:34:20.039 --> 00:34:22.960
share. Well, this was awesome, a J. I wish I could

487
00:34:22.039 --> 00:34:27.119
just how about this. You tell
the family you're occupied the rest of the

488
00:34:27.199 --> 00:34:30.480
day. I won't go to the
game tonight, and we'll just keep talking.

489
00:34:30.599 --> 00:34:36.440
And I love love connecting with your
days les, telling old old stories

490
00:34:36.480 --> 00:34:39.559
and just reflecting and just remembering.
And I think we talked about it last

491
00:34:39.559 --> 00:34:43.760
time, you know, you know, I chatted. Is it's really important

492
00:34:43.760 --> 00:34:45.039
for me, like it's really important
for all of us just to take a

493
00:34:45.119 --> 00:34:49.280
time to you know, as Dodger
fans, it's as as people who've had

494

553
00:38:52.679 --> 00:38:55.480
the booth Rick Monday, Tim neverck
guys. Tim, thanks again again.

554
00:38:55.519 --> 00:39:00.559
It's a beautiful night here in Denver, much cooler than it was twenty four

555
00:39:00.559 --> 00:39:04.320
hours ago. Temperatures are going to
be in the low seventies for this ball

556
00:39:04.360 --> 00:39:06.880
game, and then cool off as
the night goes along. They'll play most

557
00:39:06.880 --> 00:39:10.159
of it in the mid upper sixties. Austin Gomber, the left hander,

558
00:39:10.199 --> 00:39:15.880
takes on Walker Bueler. Bueler making
his eighth start one in four. Buehler

559
00:39:15.079 --> 00:39:20.400
has one job tonight that is to
go deep in the well. He does

560
00:39:20.440 --> 00:39:22.920
have another job, that's to keep
the ball in the ballpark. He's allowed

561
00:39:22.920 --> 00:39:25.239
eight home runs already in just thirty
three innings pitched. Let me try and

562
00:39:25.320 --> 00:39:30.840
oversimplify tonight, I look at the
first inning. Why well for Walker Builder

563
00:39:30.880 --> 00:39:35.159
in the first inning, he's given
up a three eighty seven batting average against

564
00:39:35.239 --> 00:39:37.960
him and three of the eight home
runs on the flip side of the coin.

565
00:39:38.119 --> 00:39:42.920
Austin Gomber, the left hander in
the first inning this year, has

566
00:39:42.960 --> 00:39:47.599
allowed a three ninety seven batting average
against him, and he's allowed four home

567
00:39:47.719 --> 00:39:52.119
runs in the opening frame. So
it goes back that we're saying earlier the

568
00:39:52.199 --> 00:39:55.840
Dodgers when they score first thirty four
and four, a good opportunity to score

569
00:39:55.920 --> 00:40:00.559
first here tonight. Gomber has not
had much luck against the Dodgers whatsoever.

570
00:40:00.639 --> 00:40:06.559
He's made seven starts prior to tonight, He is zero to four with an

571
00:40:06.559 --> 00:40:09.159
ERA of six to eleven, and
his last loss to the Dodgers was on

572
00:40:09.239 --> 00:40:14.840
June second, back in LA for
nothing. The Dodgers got the shout out

573
00:40:14.920 --> 00:40:16.719
win, but he just has not
had much luck and the Dodgers need to

574
00:40:16.760 --> 00:40:22.039
keep that train rolling. Dodgers and
Rockies Game two of this four game series

575
00:40:22.039 --> 00:40:25.679
lineups. First pitch just around the
corner, all right? First pitch is

576
00:40:25.840 --> 00:40:31.519

Vichy matchup. Dodgers starting the night first

Division of the National League at forty five

578
00:40:36.679 --> 00:40:39.159

579
00:40:39.239 --> 00:40:44.119
eight and a half games up on
the San Francisco Giants, nine games up

580
00:40:44.159 --> 00:40:47.480
