WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:07.960 And now your host for Morongo Casino Dodgers, Te Tam Chase, Hi, 2 00:00:07.960 --> 00:00:14.000 everybody, Welcome in to Morongo Casino Dodgers on Deck. You're Los Angeles Dodgers, 3 00:00:14.080 --> 00:00:17.519 thirty three and twenty two on this season, first place, the top 4 00:00:17.559 --> 00:00:22.000 the NL West. After getting swept in Cincinnati over the weekend, the Dodgers 5 00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:26.519 spent their Memorial Day in the rain. Hopefully the taste of defeat washed away, 6 00:00:26.559 --> 00:00:29.679 and now they can start anew in the Big Apple, a three game 7 00:00:29.800 --> 00:00:34.119 series against the New York Mets. It's a doubleheader from City Field, Tyler 8 00:00:34.159 --> 00:00:37.320 Glass. Now we'll get the start in game one, Gavin Stone. We'll 9 00:00:37.320 --> 00:00:40.960 get the start in game two. Game one coming up at one ten pm. 10 00:00:41.039 --> 00:00:44.560 Coming up over the next hour here on Marago Casino Dodgers on Deck. 11 00:00:44.600 --> 00:00:46.840 As we lead you up to first pitch, we got a lot to get 12 00:00:46.880 --> 00:00:49.520 to. We're gonna hear from the manager, Dave Roberts, get his thoughts 13 00:00:49.679 --> 00:00:53.119 on this Dodgers team having lost five in a row. We'll dive deeper into 14 00:00:53.200 --> 00:00:56.280 this Game one pitching matchup. We'll check in with David vest Say of course 15 00:00:56.320 --> 00:01:00.240 throughout the show. Shortly we'll hear from Kirsten Watson and in just a few 16 00:01:00.240 --> 00:01:03.679 minutes we'll head out to New York at the Galpamotors Broadcast booth and hear from 17 00:01:03.719 --> 00:01:07.120 Rick Monday and Tim Neffett Well. Sunday in Cincinnati, more of the same 18 00:01:07.159 --> 00:01:11.400 from the Dodgers offense, not much as they lost to the Reds. Yoshiyamamoto 19 00:01:11.519 --> 00:01:15.439 got the start. The right hander would go five Indians, giving him four 20 00:01:15.480 --> 00:01:19.760 runs on six hits while striking out eight along the way. Yamamoto was good 21 00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:23.040 early, but he ran into trouble the second time through the Reds lineup. 22 00:01:23.319 --> 00:01:26.480 In the bottom of the third, he loaded the bases with two outs, 23 00:01:26.519 --> 00:01:29.680 looked like he was about to get out of it with two strikes on Jonathan 24 00:01:29.719 --> 00:01:33.239 India two to one pitch, India bounces it through the right side of base 25 00:01:33.319 --> 00:01:37.799 hit day La Cruz will score. Here comes Steer right behind him. It's 26 00:01:37.840 --> 00:01:42.680 at two runs single for Jonathan India and the Reds for the third straight game. 27 00:01:44.599 --> 00:01:48.319 Score first. It's two nothing, Thank you India. Jonathan India with 28 00:01:48.359 --> 00:01:51.400 the two run single as the Reds took the two to nothing the leading and 29 00:01:51.439 --> 00:01:53.920 they weren't done. The very next batter, Nick Martini hits, a flare 30 00:01:53.959 --> 00:01:59.840 out behind second base that scored too. The Reds, with four runs off 31 00:01:59.879 --> 00:02:04.319 of Yamamamoto in the third, take a four to nothing lead. Yamamoto would 32 00:02:04.359 --> 00:02:07.719 go the five innings, give up just those four runs on six hits while 33 00:02:07.719 --> 00:02:10.599 striking out eight. Meanwhile, the Dodgers offense had only five hits in the 34 00:02:10.759 --> 00:02:15.120 entire game. They struggled again with runners in scoring position, one for eight 35 00:02:15.159 --> 00:02:20.080 on the day. In this series against Cincinnati, the Dodgers hit one thirty 36 00:02:20.120 --> 00:02:23.120 eight. There were four for twenty nine with runners in scoring position. Getting 37 00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:28.479 guys on not a problem, Driving them in was a problem. The top 38 00:02:28.479 --> 00:02:32.039 of the Dodgers lineup doing all the work with all five hits in Sunday's game. 39 00:02:32.240 --> 00:02:37.879 Freddie Freeman. He drove in the loan run the pitch man. Freddy 40 00:02:37.960 --> 00:02:40.000 lines at the left center field that ball is gonna get down, passed a 41 00:02:40.159 --> 00:02:46.680 diving Fairchild around third. Is Otani coming to second base, and then Stanley 42 00:02:46.680 --> 00:02:50.479 with an RBI double. Is Freddie Freeman and the Dodgers are on the board 43 00:02:50.479 --> 00:02:52.879 here in the ninth in I think it's four to one. You want don't 44 00:02:52.919 --> 00:02:57.159 go away, Freddy Freeman the RBI double, his fifteenth double of the year, 45 00:02:57.479 --> 00:03:00.199 RBI number thirty. Unfortunately, the Dodgers get no more. They would 46 00:03:00.280 --> 00:03:04.319 threaten in the ninth inning, but Red's go on and win at four to 47 00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:07.199 one. Dodgers get swept out of Cincinnati. They've now lost five in a 48 00:03:07.319 --> 00:03:13.199 row. They're thirty three and twenty two on the season. They had rain 49 00:03:13.400 --> 00:03:17.479 in Cincinnati on Sunday that was an hour delay, and yesterday rained out in 50 00:03:17.599 --> 00:03:23.560 New York City as the storm came through New York. And the Dodgers today 51 00:03:23.599 --> 00:03:27.439 playing a doubleheader, and then they'll play the finale of this three game series 52 00:03:27.479 --> 00:03:31.039 tomorrow from City Field. Game one starter Tyler Glass Now with more, let's 53 00:03:31.080 --> 00:03:35.680 head out to the Gallpin Motors broadcast booth at City Field and say hello to 54 00:03:35.800 --> 00:03:38.080 Rick Monday and Tim Neffertt. Guys, Tim, thank you very much. 55 00:03:38.199 --> 00:03:42.960 Ken confirm the weather today much better than the weather yesterday. And due to 56 00:03:42.960 --> 00:03:46.639 the forecast yesterday on the Memorial Day holiday, no game here in New York 57 00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:53.360 postponed to today in a traditional double header, as the Dodgers will take on 58 00:03:53.400 --> 00:03:55.800 the New York Mets in the first of a three game set that'll be abbreviated 59 00:03:55.840 --> 00:04:00.639 to just two days. Tyler Glass now will get the start here Game one, 60 00:04:00.759 --> 00:04:03.159 coming up against Tyler McGill, and then in Game two it'll be the 61 00:04:03.199 --> 00:04:11.039 veteran Jose Kintana opposite Dodger right handed Gavin Stone. So maybe the day off 62 00:04:11.039 --> 00:04:14.080 could be a good thing considering the way the Dodgers have been playing. The 63 00:04:14.120 --> 00:04:16.839 offense has not been where they needed to be. They've lost five straight for 64 00:04:16.879 --> 00:04:20.959 the first time since April of twenty nineteen, trying to get back their winning 65 00:04:20.959 --> 00:04:25.600 ways, and maybe perhaps a double header can put them in the right order 66 00:04:25.639 --> 00:04:29.319 well, maybe be able to zero the odometer. Dave Roberts talking about it 67 00:04:29.360 --> 00:04:30.959 a little bit earlier as well, I mean you start to look, the 68 00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:36.160 offense has really struggled. It has sputtered the top of the order between bats 69 00:04:36.199 --> 00:04:40.639 and Otani. You know, the averages are there. Otani the last ten 70 00:04:40.680 --> 00:04:44.120 games is hitting two eleven and that's not bad. But the Dodgers in the 71 00:04:44.120 --> 00:04:47.759 bottom third of this lineup still really have continued to struggle. And for Dave 72 00:04:47.839 --> 00:04:50.680 Roberts, trying to find some type of a combination. And today it's going 73 00:04:50.759 --> 00:04:56.000 to be Chris Taylor starts at third base. He'll bat seven. Jason Hayward 74 00:04:56.000 --> 00:04:58.800 to get in right field, batting eighth, and Andy Payaz will beat in 75 00:04:58.800 --> 00:05:02.240 the nine spot. He will play in center field. Gavin Lux beginning to 76 00:05:02.240 --> 00:05:06.040 swing the bat a little bit better, as the average up now above the 77 00:05:06.079 --> 00:05:10.639 Mendoza line, and hopefully that's a sign of some very good things to come, 78 00:05:11.079 --> 00:05:13.600 and the offense hopes to click. With sho Hey o Tani in the 79 00:05:13.639 --> 00:05:15.560 lineup for game one, he will not be in the lineup for Game two. 80 00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:19.279 Dave Roberts a short time ago saying that they will give show Hey the 81 00:05:19.360 --> 00:05:24.279 night cap off, and it looks like McGill Rojas will be at second base 82 00:05:24.399 --> 00:05:29.279 in the second game. But there's a first game of this ball game or 83 00:05:29.319 --> 00:05:33.079 this afternoon be able to win and the Dodgers, you begin to start to 84 00:05:33.680 --> 00:05:39.920 analyze from an offensive standpoint. Since the tenth of May, the Dodgers offensively 85 00:05:39.959 --> 00:05:43.920 are twenty ninth in batting average. To put it in perspective about Hey need 86 00:05:43.959 --> 00:05:47.360 to do some things. Oddly enough, it's been primarily against the fastball that 87 00:05:47.399 --> 00:05:51.560 the Dodgers have not really had a lot of success with, not the breaking 88 00:05:51.560 --> 00:05:56.199 stuff, not the off speed stuff. It's been the heater. So the 89 00:05:56.199 --> 00:06:00.199 fastball has been the problem. At least that's what the Dodgers have identified at 90 00:06:00.199 --> 00:06:02.040 this point in time. We'll see if that gets corrected here today and maybe 91 00:06:02.040 --> 00:06:05.639 the day off. It's everybody in a better frame of mind. The Dodgers 92 00:06:05.959 --> 00:06:11.279 come into the game five games up on the Giants and the Padres with a 93 00:06:11.319 --> 00:06:14.439 record of thirty three and twenty two eleven over five hundred. The Mets, 94 00:06:14.480 --> 00:06:19.839 meantime, struggling at twenty two and thirty and the Mets in the East are 95 00:06:20.279 --> 00:06:24.480 in second to last place fourth, fourteen and a half behind the leaders, 96 00:06:24.519 --> 00:06:28.240 the Philadelphia Phillies. The Phillies looking now like they might start to run away 97 00:06:28.639 --> 00:06:31.800 with the Eastern Division. So game one we'll see Toyler McGill out of Los 98 00:06:31.800 --> 00:06:38.319 Alamitos High School pitching for the Mets and Tyler glasnow from Hard High School in 99 00:06:38.360 --> 00:06:41.839 Santa Clarita, pitching for the Dodgers. That game's coming up. And then 100 00:06:41.839 --> 00:06:46.800 in Game two, it'll be Hose Kintana against Gavin Stone. We've got a 101 00:06:46.839 --> 00:06:49.120 double dip from New York coming your way. Tim All right, thank you, 102 00:06:49.160 --> 00:06:51.399 guys, as we cut you down to first pitch on this Tuesday, 103 00:06:51.480 --> 00:06:57.000 Dodger fans get your game day meal on at Shaky's Pizza Parlor.

Coming up here on Dodgers on Deck, 105 00:07:01.199 --> 00:07:04.480 you'll hear for the manager, Dave Roberts, David VT Sego's one on 106 00:07:04.519 --> 00:07:10.399 one with Annie McCullough MLB insigner. We'll break down this pitching matchup for Game 107 00:07:10.399 --> 00:07:13.600 one of this double header. Up next, though, we'll hear from Kirsen 108 00:07:13.720 --> 00:07:17.639 wantson and we'll get your Otani rewind as we lead you up to first pitchers, 109 00:07:17.680 --> 00:07:20.839 City Field in New York. It's Game one of this double header, 110 00:07:21.120 --> 00:07:26.560 Dodgers Mets. Thanks for being with us. I'm Tim Kas's Los Angeles Dodgers 111 00:07:26.759 --> 00:07:33.439 Audio Network. It is Lorongo Casino, Dodgers on, Dodgers on Deck. 112 00:07:33.560 --> 00:07:40.199 Y'all on the official home of LA Dodgers Baseball, Dodgers and Mets. Game 113 00:07:40.240 --> 00:07:44.160 one of this double header from City Field in New York. Tyler Glass now 114 00:07:44.240 --> 00:07:46.639 on the mound. Cavin Stone will go in Game two. First pitch, 115 00:07:46.680 --> 00:07:55.920 Game one is that one ten? This is the rewind to one pitch? 116 00:07:56.800 --> 00:08:00.959 Why that is ripped so hard? It went off the well? But Spencer 117 00:08:01.040 --> 00:08:05.519 steer the first basement. I mean you want to talk about a missile hit 118 00:08:05.600 --> 00:08:11.480 down to first, an absolute rocket off the bat of Otani's Spencer. Steeer 119 00:08:11.519 --> 00:08:16.000 was right there, but it went off of his glove. Look an initial 120 00:08:16.040 --> 00:08:18.399 thought like it went through it and Steer check the glove just to make sure 121 00:08:18.639 --> 00:08:22.879 did it go through or off the glove? One hundred and thirteen miles an 122 00:08:22.920 --> 00:08:26.879 hour off the bat of show Hey Otani. A hit for Otani, one 123 00:08:26.920 --> 00:08:31.920 of only five Dodger hits on Sunday. He would score the only Dodger run 124 00:08:31.000 --> 00:08:35.240 of the game. Showy Otani. Now hitting three thirty six on the season. 125 00:08:35.519 --> 00:08:37.399 He's in the lineup for Game one as your designated hitter, but as 126 00:08:37.440 --> 00:08:41.440 Tim mentioned just a few minutes ago, he will not be in the lineup 127 00:08:41.720 --> 00:08:45.759 for Game two of this doubleheader. The Otani Rewind brought to you by Eto 128 00:08:45.879 --> 00:08:48.240 ins O, John Japan's number one green tef.

Thank you now joins us 131 00:09:00.759 --> 00:09:03.879 from City Field. It's a doubleheader today. Here's a no game yesterday, 132 00:09:03.919 --> 00:09:07.159 an extra day of rest for a Dodgers team that has lost five in a 133 00:09:07.240 --> 00:09:11.440 row. All right, we're gonna play eighteen innings back to back here, 134 00:09:11.919 --> 00:09:16.639 what's the plan? According to Dave Roberts, Yeah, so game one lineup 135 00:09:16.720 --> 00:09:18.759 is out, as you saw, So Tyler Glass now is gonna take the 136 00:09:18.840 --> 00:09:22.600 mound for this one. Of course, the hope is for him to go 137 00:09:22.720 --> 00:09:26.120 deep help protect the bullpen, but the bullpen isn't a really good spot just 138 00:09:26.159 --> 00:09:30.679 having the off day yesterday, and then even the high leverage arms they didn't 139 00:09:30.679 --> 00:09:33.039 get into the game on Sunday, So he feels like everyone's in a good 140 00:09:33.039 --> 00:09:37.519 spot regarding that. So it's your usual top of the order for Game one, 141 00:09:37.679 --> 00:09:41.960 and then you've got Chris Taylor who's gonna be at third. But in 142 00:09:41.039 --> 00:09:46.799 Game two, Dave said that Shoho Tani is going to be down. He's 143 00:09:46.840 --> 00:09:50.960 still kind of nursing that hamstring bruise. He told us yesterday that he is 144 00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:54.039 feeling a lot better, but Dave just wanted to be mindful of that kind 145 00:09:54.039 --> 00:09:58.000 of get hot, cool down, get hot again. He said, it 146 00:09:58.039 --> 00:10:01.279 just doesn't necessarily make sense. So he is going to truly be off in 147 00:10:01.320 --> 00:10:03.480 that second game, and then you'll see a little bit of differences in the 148 00:10:03.519 --> 00:10:07.639 infield, like Miguel Rojas will play at second He said he was still deciding 149 00:10:09.039 --> 00:10:13.519 exactly what the outfield is gonna look like, but so yeah, just kind 150 00:10:13.519 --> 00:10:16.279 of managing everyone their legs, the arms and keeping everyone good and hopefully in 151 00:10:16.360 --> 00:10:20.600 the offense going. Today, Kirsten is brought to by Cars for Kids. 152 00:10:20.600 --> 00:10:22.840 The easiest way to get rid of old card donated to day.

That's cars 154 00:10:26.159 --> 00:10:30.480 with a k so Tyler glass now on the mound today in the first game, 155 00:10:30.559 --> 00:10:33.080 this is a big guy who's trying to get back on track after his 156 00:10:33.159 --> 00:10:37.159 last two starts, things have gotten away from a little bit. Yeah, 157 00:10:37.320 --> 00:10:41.480 you know, if you look at his last two if that first one of 158 00:10:41.519 --> 00:10:43.879 the two, he talked about how just things were out of sync. He 159 00:10:45.000 --> 00:10:48.519 just he didn't really have the feel for his pitches and it just wasn't kind 160 00:10:48.559 --> 00:10:52.320 of he wasn't executing them how he wanted to. And the last outing he 161 00:10:52.360 --> 00:10:54.360 said that he felt a lot better. He just felt like that fifth inning 162 00:10:54.480 --> 00:10:58.039 kind of got ahead of him, and that's where we saw the runs pick 163 00:10:58.120 --> 00:11:01.679 up and things like that. So when Dave was talking about him today, 164 00:11:01.720 --> 00:11:07.000 he was saying, Tyler glassnow is such an individual who truly has to be 165 00:11:07.120 --> 00:11:09.960 in sync to kind of feel his best on the mount, to get the 166 00:11:11.000 --> 00:11:15.200 results, to get that swing and miss, and so the last few he 167 00:11:15.240 --> 00:11:18.360 hasn't necessarily felt that. But it's somewhat considering he is so tall, you 168 00:11:18.399 --> 00:11:24.159 know what, he's six seven, right. You know, I'm very tall 169 00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:26.759 up here as well. We we're lengthy individuals. Sometimes it's a little hard 170 00:11:26.799 --> 00:11:31.200 for us to you know, get everything going when we need to. So 171 00:11:31.320 --> 00:11:35.639 it's just a matter of when he feels that kind of his levers are moving 172 00:11:35.679 --> 00:11:37.080 the way he needs them to and wants them too, that he's in sync. 173 00:11:37.120 --> 00:11:41.039 So that's really the focus for him. But Dave dees feel like from 174 00:11:41.080 --> 00:11:43.480 what he's been seeing from bullpit and stuff, he should be in a good 175 00:11:43.480 --> 00:11:48.039 spot today. Let's hope he can get back on track in this Dodgers' offense 176 00:11:48.080 --> 00:11:50.120 certainly can get on track as well. Kirsten, we appreciate it.

All right, 197 00:13:16.919 --> 00:13:18.879 let's head back out to New York and check out with the Dodger Skipper. 198 00:13:20.480 --> 00:13:24.720 Questions for Dave, Dave, can you just describe Dave? Can you 199 00:13:24.759 --> 00:13:30.759 talk about the pressure in the dugouts with Dave Roberts. I know you've talked 200 00:13:30.799 --> 00:13:33.200 about just the offense and right now kind of what's been missing has been attacking 201 00:13:33.240 --> 00:13:37.840 that fastball. What THO was kind of just the first step and whether it's 202 00:13:37.840 --> 00:13:43.240 making some adjustments or just seeing your offense get back on track. I think 203 00:13:43.360 --> 00:13:46.879 that's the first part of it. You know, this McGill, it's a 204 00:13:46.879 --> 00:13:52.399 it's a it's a lively fastball. He's gonna throw a ton of fastballs at 205 00:13:52.480 --> 00:13:56.639 us, and I think for me, it's almost like the Barry Bonds approach 206 00:13:56.679 --> 00:14:01.399 of taking a picture's number one pitch away from him. And he's going to 207 00:14:01.480 --> 00:14:05.919 challenge us with the heater, so we'll see how we respond and mixing his 208 00:14:05.000 --> 00:14:13.080 secondary and then Q Quintana is a different type pitcher with a sinkerballer, uh, 209 00:14:13.120 --> 00:14:16.320 you know, command kind of mix and match. But this is going 210 00:14:16.360 --> 00:14:20.120 to be an interesting test for us. So this first one doubleheader, good, 211 00:14:20.200 --> 00:14:26.000 bad, or indifferent for a slumping offense. I'll tell you after tonight. 212 00:14:26.399 --> 00:14:33.559 But my expectation is good. If so doesn't say to assume he wouldn't 213 00:14:33.559 --> 00:14:37.039 pinsh it as well, Yeah, he'll be down. He'll be down, 214 00:14:37.720 --> 00:14:39.320 you know, because then it sort of defeats the purpose to get him ready 215 00:14:39.799 --> 00:14:46.879 crank back up. So yep, does the all with that? With that, 216 00:14:46.279 --> 00:14:50.039 Yeah, he's on board with whatever I think is best for the team, 217 00:14:50.200 --> 00:14:56.120 which is uh, which is obviously very appreciated from my perspective. Yeah, 218 00:14:56.159 --> 00:14:58.440 all right, there's Dave Roberts pre game down the dugout brought you by 219 00:14:58.519 --> 00:15:01.519 service to and Dave Roberts is a titan in his own right, and he's 220 00:15:01.559 --> 00:15:05.519 got a plan before his team hits the field for two today.

Tyler Glass now on the mound, first pitch, 229 00:15:41.960 --> 00:15:48.919 coming up at one ten, Joining Tim Kates on Dodgers on Deck. I 230 00:15:48.000 --> 00:15:54.639 accept everybody for who they are. This is Dodger insider David Basse All right, 231 00:15:54.799 --> 00:15:58.840 DV. Hopefully a day off yesterday with the rain in New York will 232 00:15:58.960 --> 00:16:03.320 jump start this Dog offense, which is right now in a serious rut. 233 00:16:03.159 --> 00:16:07.279 Yes, and their personalities are in the same rut. A lot of these 234 00:16:08.039 --> 00:16:14.120 offensive position players have not been in a great mood because the light has been 235 00:16:14.639 --> 00:16:18.240 shown on them that they have not been very good, not only just the 236 00:16:18.320 --> 00:16:22.600 last three games, but this goes back ten to fifteen games where the Dodger 237 00:16:22.679 --> 00:16:29.840 offense is only scoring about three runs per game, and it is now very 238 00:16:30.000 --> 00:16:33.480 much out in the open that they have not been good against fastballs. And 239 00:16:33.679 --> 00:16:41.519 after the Dodgers were swept in Cincinnati, Gavin Lux answered the questions, Yeah, 240 00:16:41.600 --> 00:16:42.399 yeah, I mean as a team, I don't think we're hitting the 241 00:16:42.399 --> 00:16:45.759 fast fall very well right now. You can look up to advanced stats and 242 00:16:47.200 --> 00:16:49.559 no secret, but yeah, it's just I think it's part of baseball. 243 00:16:49.600 --> 00:16:52.600 It's still a really good group, really good lineup, and it's just one 244 00:16:52.639 --> 00:16:57.120 of those runs where we're just not really clicking, not getting hits and scoring 245 00:16:57.200 --> 00:17:02.919 position kind of you know us. So it's just a long season. It's 246 00:17:02.960 --> 00:17:04.720 one of those runs. And you know, it's a really good lineup, 247 00:17:04.759 --> 00:17:08.119 so we we know it's gonna flip. Could just kinda make it happen, 248 00:17:10.799 --> 00:17:14.640 really, Tim, The only two Dodgers that are hitting is Mookie Betts and 249 00:17:14.720 --> 00:17:18.640 Taoscar Hernandez, so they need a lot more and especially more from their seven 250 00:17:18.720 --> 00:17:23.000 eight to nine hitters. They ranked last in all of Major League baseball, 251 00:17:23.400 --> 00:17:29.799 hitting just under one ninety with an on base percentage just over two hundred. 252 00:17:29.839 --> 00:17:33.519 It's the worst in baseball. That includes the Marlins, the Rockies, the 253 00:17:33.640 --> 00:17:37.680 Oakland A's, the Dodgers, seven eight and nine hitters the worst in baseball. 254 00:17:38.000 --> 00:17:42.599 David on Sunday in Cincinnati, eighth inning, Johann Ramirez was out there 255 00:17:42.640 --> 00:17:45.160 on the mound. He got two quick gallets and then he gave up a 256 00:17:45.240 --> 00:17:48.759 single, and then he hit back to back batters and he started thinking, 257 00:17:48.759 --> 00:17:52.880 oh no, Friday night, he couldn't get out of the inning and out 258 00:17:52.880 --> 00:17:56.359 of his own way. And Dave Roberts did something very interesting. He ran 259 00:17:56.400 --> 00:17:59.519 out to the mount almost didn't take him out of the game, but encouraged 260 00:17:59.599 --> 00:18:03.039 him. Yeah, on Friday night in Cincinnati, the Wheels came off with 261 00:18:03.160 --> 00:18:07.000 two outs in the fifth inning. That's when the red scored six runs and 262 00:18:07.039 --> 00:18:12.079 it felt like again things were going to unravel in a three to one game, 263 00:18:12.200 --> 00:18:17.839 and David Bell was starting to get heated that two of those hitters, 264 00:18:17.839 --> 00:18:21.920 those Reds hitters were hit by a pitch, and we all know David Bell's 265 00:18:22.319 --> 00:18:26.720 temper. Temper tantrums came spiral out of control and the Reds were starting to 266 00:18:26.720 --> 00:18:32.000 get upset because really, the rule in Major League baseball is if you can't 267 00:18:32.000 --> 00:18:36.880 command the fastball inside and you start hitting guys, then you shouldn't pitch there. 268 00:18:37.039 --> 00:18:42.319 So Dave Roberts saw the entire situation unfolding, and he decided to do 269 00:18:42.400 --> 00:18:47.480 something that you'd rarely see from a major league manager and go out there. 270 00:18:47.519 --> 00:18:51.559 And the way Dave described it was love on him. You know, it 271 00:18:51.599 --> 00:18:55.960 was, you know, on the heels of the other night and had trub 272 00:18:56.039 --> 00:18:59.400 having trouble, you know, commanding the baseball and the result of the other 273 00:18:59.519 --> 00:19:03.240 night, and you know, he's emotional and he cares, and he's trying 274 00:19:03.240 --> 00:19:07.160 to impress with the new ball club. And I saw some of the same 275 00:19:07.240 --> 00:19:11.559 things happening, you know, tonight today, and so I wanted to kind 276 00:19:11.599 --> 00:19:15.119 of cut it off before it kind of really spun out. And I just 277 00:19:15.720 --> 00:19:19.599 tried to reassure him and give him some confidence and love love on him a 278 00:19:19.640 --> 00:19:23.759 little bit and try to give him take a little bit of pressure off him. 279 00:19:23.920 --> 00:19:27.720 So I'm happy to see that he went back in there and threw a 280 00:19:27.720 --> 00:19:33.279 strike and got out of it. But you know, you've got to, 281 00:19:33.039 --> 00:19:36.359 I mean, you know, trying to do everything I can to kind of, 282 00:19:37.039 --> 00:19:40.680 you know, show him we care and give him some confidence. And 283 00:19:40.799 --> 00:19:45.799 Johann Ramirez still on the Dodger roster, maybe not until Friday. That's when 284 00:19:45.839 --> 00:19:49.200 Evan Phillips is supposed to be activated. If all goes well, and as 285 00:19:49.240 --> 00:19:53.240 far as the Dodger bullpen goes, they have added a reliever to be their 286 00:19:53.240 --> 00:19:59.559 twenty seventh man. Left hander Nick Ramirez is the Dodgers twenty seventh man in 287 00:19:59.599 --> 00:20:02.440 this double great stuff DV.

You go 304 00:21:18.960 --> 00:21:25.720 back to June thirtieth, nineteen sixty two at Dodgers Stadium, Dodgers taking on 305 00:21:25.839 --> 00:21:29.400 the New York Mets. The Dodgers would score four runs in the bottom half 306 00:21:29.440 --> 00:21:32.960 of the first inning, attack on one more in the seventh to beat the 307 00:21:33.079 --> 00:21:36.720 Mets five to nothing.

Here's LA Dodgers broadcaster and World Series Champion Dodger Rick Monday. 336 00:23:53.720 --> 00:23:56.880 Rick, it's a beautiful day here in Queens to play too. Hope 337 00:23:56.920 --> 00:24:02.359 you stayed dry. Yesterday stayed dry and it was like running an obstacle course, 338 00:24:02.400 --> 00:24:04.559 trying to go in between the rain drops, and we took the subway 339 00:24:04.640 --> 00:24:07.880 back. I know that you did also a little bit later on. By 340 00:24:07.920 --> 00:24:11.599 the way, we did not abandon you. We had no idea where you 341 00:24:11.680 --> 00:24:15.079 were, because David Masse is so well connected folks that he's in the locker 342 00:24:15.160 --> 00:24:18.680 room, he's on the field, he's in the tunnel, he's I mean, 343 00:24:18.960 --> 00:24:21.119 you're all over the place, David. Yeah, you're right. I'm 344 00:24:21.160 --> 00:24:22.720 a man on an island for sure. But I'm glad you got back to 345 00:24:22.799 --> 00:24:26.880 the hotel looking for friends. That's what it is, exactly right. But 346 00:24:26.039 --> 00:24:30.960 the seventh train certainly is a great experience. Have you ever come to a 347 00:24:30.079 --> 00:24:33.279 game here? Oh, it's an experience, all right? Did you when 348 00:24:33.279 --> 00:24:37.559 you played in New York? Would you stay in the team bus or would 349 00:24:37.559 --> 00:24:41.079 you ever would you ever take the train to Yankee Stadium? No? No, 350 00:24:41.519 --> 00:24:45.559 Now, you did not want to be bus Okay, gotcha? No, 351 00:24:45.680 --> 00:24:48.440 only because there's a lot of fans here and you don't you don't need 352 00:24:48.559 --> 00:24:52.319 to be accosted or you know, it's one of those things. How about 353 00:24:52.359 --> 00:24:56.599 this doubleheader today, Rick, who do you believe it? Which team has 354 00:24:56.640 --> 00:25:00.759 the advantage do the Dodgers have the advantage getting a day off kind of resetting 355 00:25:00.799 --> 00:25:03.599 after a poor series. Well, I don't know about an advantage, but 356 00:25:03.680 --> 00:25:08.319 I think it's an opportunity, an opportunity to reset. And those of us 357 00:25:08.359 --> 00:25:11.880 have been watching this and listening to it, understand the Dodgers. They had 358 00:25:11.920 --> 00:25:17.519 been very inconsistent from really top to bottom, and the bottom third of the 359 00:25:17.680 --> 00:25:22.519 order in particular has combined. You look at the totality of the season when 360 00:25:22.559 --> 00:25:25.440 you go seven, eight to nine combined, just a one to eighty five 361 00:25:25.519 --> 00:25:29.759 banning average. That cannot continue. But what are the options at this particular 362 00:25:29.839 --> 00:25:33.960 point. Max Munsey is not back in the lineup. That's another wrung of 363 00:25:33.000 --> 00:25:37.119 the ladder, if you will, talking about the depth overall, But you 364 00:25:37.240 --> 00:25:40.759 start to look at the lineup today and the bottom is going to be Chris 365 00:25:40.799 --> 00:25:45.759 Taylor at third base, Jason Hayward just off the injured list, he's back 366 00:25:45.839 --> 00:25:48.720 in there again in right field, and Andy Pies in center field. And 367 00:25:48.799 --> 00:25:52.759 Pies has really kind of struggled oddly enough with the fast ball, and that's 368 00:25:52.839 --> 00:25:56.519 kind of the story with the Dodgers. Now. I looked at some numbers 369 00:25:56.559 --> 00:26:00.599 of piz the other day and the fastball was giving him problem as well. 370 00:26:00.720 --> 00:26:04.680 But if you look at this Dodger club as a team, really, since 371 00:26:04.759 --> 00:26:11.680 the tenth of May, mysteriously enough, the fastball has been rather elusive to 372 00:26:11.799 --> 00:26:17.079 this Dodger bats. So that's a big, big question mark that I have 373 00:26:17.240 --> 00:26:21.680 offensively. After that final game in Cincinnati, I presented that fact to Gavin 374 00:26:21.759 --> 00:26:25.599 Lux and Freddie Freeman, and they both told me the staff has made the 375 00:26:25.720 --> 00:26:29.440 hitters aware that they have not been good against fastballs. Yeah, they knew 376 00:26:29.519 --> 00:26:33.400 that. They didn't have to see it in APPRNTA. I've got to ask 377 00:26:33.480 --> 00:26:37.839 you on the speaker caper in Cincinnati. Yes, I know you were doing 378 00:26:38.480 --> 00:26:41.519 from the dugouts some of the TV work that was down there. You talked 379 00:26:41.559 --> 00:26:47.640 about, Hey, you discovered that the Cincinnati Reds had brilliantly put down an 380 00:26:47.680 --> 00:26:52.200 extra speaker to play the walk up music for the Cincinnati Reds players when they 381 00:26:52.240 --> 00:26:55.680 would come to home plate didn't hit. But here's the catch. They didn't 382 00:26:55.680 --> 00:26:57.960 put it in their own dugout, which would have been about fifteen feet to 383 00:26:59.039 --> 00:27:02.200 twenty feet away from they're on deck circle, so their players could have heard 384 00:27:02.240 --> 00:27:06.640 the walk up music on this additional speaker. They put it in the visiting 385 00:27:07.119 --> 00:27:10.240 doug outside. You brought it the attention of some people, but to no 386 00:27:10.319 --> 00:27:14.400 avail. That's right, Mark Pryor, the Dodgers pitching coach told the security 387 00:27:14.440 --> 00:27:18.240 guard position right by the Dodger dugout to tell them to turn it off, 388 00:27:18.839 --> 00:27:22.640 and the guy who radioed up to the booth and said, hey, they 389 00:27:22.720 --> 00:27:29.039 wanted off, and in another series against another team, they did oblige, 390 00:27:29.200 --> 00:27:33.359 but they only obliged for an inning and a half before they not only continue 391 00:27:33.400 --> 00:27:38.599 to play walk up music, but also other effects of music, and they 392 00:27:38.680 --> 00:27:44.200 even turned up the speakers. So Mark Pryor is very close to pulling the 393 00:27:44.319 --> 00:27:47.680 plug on that speaker. You know, you can get your attention if you 394 00:27:47.799 --> 00:27:51.000 tell the umpires and say, if you don't unplug it, we're not taking 395 00:27:51.079 --> 00:27:55.240 the field exactly. And even some of the umpires I've heard in other series 396 00:27:55.279 --> 00:27:59.039 of Great American Ballpark have told them to cut it out. So it never 397 00:27:59.119 --> 00:28:03.039 got to that point. But obviously the Rets knew what they were doing by 398 00:28:03.160 --> 00:28:07.119 not putting a speaker in their own home Dugout. Well, speaking of umpires, 399 00:28:07.480 --> 00:28:14.839 did you see it? Angel Hernandez has now officially announced his retirement as 400 00:28:14.920 --> 00:28:18.480 a major league umpire. They worked this first major league game nineteen ninety one, 401 00:28:18.599 --> 00:28:22.039 full time, hired in nineteen ninety three. And if you know, 402 00:28:22.119 --> 00:28:27.640 everyone that I talk with that knows Angel Hernandez personally and has worked with him, 403 00:28:27.680 --> 00:28:30.960 had been around with a lovely man. You ask some of the people 404 00:28:32.039 --> 00:28:37.880 once he takes the field in his has been a little mysterious at times, 405 00:28:37.279 --> 00:28:41.599 but he I'm in full service for Angel Hernanez and we wish it well in 406 00:28:41.720 --> 00:28:45.880 retirement, no doubt. But when you know an umpire's name as well as 407 00:28:45.960 --> 00:28:51.400 you know a player's name, means something's off well, And even I don't 408 00:28:51.400 --> 00:28:56.519 want to point it out to a point of something distracting towards Angel Hernanez. 409 00:28:56.559 --> 00:28:59.960 But you know we're in different ballparks when his name, his name is announce. 410 00:29:00.759 --> 00:29:03.359 You hear people boom. Well, you never get booed Rick, You're 411 00:29:03.440 --> 00:29:06.759 celebrated every day in this booth.

Great combination today in New York with a doubleheader. 435 00:30:49.680 --> 00:30:53.960 How has the response to the book been positive so far? You know, 436 00:30:55.079 --> 00:30:56.680 it's been really fun to you know, see the book out in the 437 00:30:56.720 --> 00:31:00.759 world. We're still doing your books are still available, you know, still 438 00:31:00.799 --> 00:31:04.000 signing book plates if people want to send me an email. But yeah, 439 00:31:04.039 --> 00:31:07.519 it's been cool. It's been a unique experience and you only get to, 440 00:31:07.680 --> 00:31:11.079 you know, do it for the first time once. So it's been it's 441 00:31:11.119 --> 00:31:15.039 been great. Yeah. I've been around Kershaw a lot since the book came 442 00:31:15.119 --> 00:31:18.160 out, and he really hasn't talked about it too much. What's has been 443 00:31:18.279 --> 00:31:22.079 what's been his reaction to the finished product? Yeah, he's selling that meat 444 00:31:22.160 --> 00:31:25.920 package. Yeah, what's going on in her shot beef? But no talk 445 00:31:25.960 --> 00:31:27.640 about the book, right, He's a left. He's not trying to be 446 00:31:27.720 --> 00:31:32.000 Nolan Ryan. I don't get it. You know, Clayton has been, 447 00:31:32.319 --> 00:31:37.279 I think, very gracious about what for him. I don't just assume he 448 00:31:37.359 --> 00:31:40.960 said is kind of a strange experience, right, Like, he didn't ask 449 00:31:41.079 --> 00:31:44.799 for this book to be written. He was very cooperative and generous this time 450 00:31:45.160 --> 00:31:48.839 with his time during the process, but it wasn't something that he was necessarily 451 00:31:48.960 --> 00:31:52.960 like looking forward to, and you know, he had when we've spoken about 452 00:31:52.000 --> 00:31:55.160 it, he says he hasn't read it, which is totally fine. I 453 00:31:55.240 --> 00:31:59.000 think it would be very strange to write a or to read a four hundred 454 00:31:59.000 --> 00:32:01.200 page book about yourself, you know. But he's been, yeah, very 455 00:32:01.279 --> 00:32:05.319 gracious and polite, and you know, has told me like he hopes the 456 00:32:05.400 --> 00:32:08.400 thing does well and passes along when people tell him they like it, and 457 00:32:08.559 --> 00:32:12.920 so. But yeah, it sounds like he's more probably focused on what's more 458 00:32:12.920 --> 00:32:15.400 important, which is spending time with his family, getting his shoulder right and 459 00:32:15.799 --> 00:32:20.119 you know, selling that beef package. Yeah, no doubt beef and getting 460 00:32:20.160 --> 00:32:23.559 that shoulder right. He feels like it's starting to come around. Did you 461 00:32:24.119 --> 00:32:30.079 do you believe that he expected to be a Dodger this season. I think 462 00:32:30.119 --> 00:32:31.640 it was definitely up in the air, you know, coming into the offseason, 463 00:32:31.720 --> 00:32:34.839 and kind of wrote about this in the last chapter of the book that 464 00:32:34.960 --> 00:32:37.880 he was more open to going to Texas and probably he ever had been, 465 00:32:39.200 --> 00:32:44.440 and the way it worked out with Texas's finances, they weren't particularly aggressive and 466 00:32:44.519 --> 00:32:49.960 going after him, and the Dodgers, you know, were probably more patient 467 00:32:50.440 --> 00:32:52.839 in terms of letting him figure out what it was it was important to him, 468 00:32:52.839 --> 00:32:55.240 and it worked out that, you know, they were able to get 469 00:32:55.319 --> 00:33:00.559 him on a pretty decent guarantee for this year with a player option for next 470 00:33:00.599 --> 00:33:02.480 season, which was very important because I think one of the things that you 471 00:33:02.519 --> 00:33:06.559 know, he expressed to me that he really wanted was not just to make 472 00:33:06.920 --> 00:33:09.799 come back for twenty twenty four, you know, come back mid season coming 473 00:33:09.839 --> 00:33:14.160 off surgery. He wanted to if he was gonna keep going to at least 474 00:33:14.240 --> 00:33:17.119 do another full season, or he had a full offseason where he could come 475 00:33:17.160 --> 00:33:22.000 in sort of normal and healthy and you know, been twenty twenty five, 476 00:33:22.519 --> 00:33:23.960 which could be you know, theoretically could be a Swan song. Who can 477 00:33:24.000 --> 00:33:29.359 say, but the Dodgers willingness who divide that player option, I think really 478 00:33:29.720 --> 00:33:32.759 helped. Andy McCullough is our guest, and speaking of the time that you 479 00:33:32.920 --> 00:33:37.200 did cover the Dodgers, they not only had their best players be leaders, 480 00:33:37.319 --> 00:33:43.519 whether that was Justin Turner or even Chase Suttley. David Freeze back in eighteen 481 00:33:43.559 --> 00:33:47.920 and nineteen obviously set a lot of the tone and led. Do you believe 482 00:33:49.000 --> 00:33:52.960 this Dodger team is missing that their two best players are not really vocal leaders. 483 00:33:53.480 --> 00:33:55.680 Yeah, that's a great question. I mean, as someone who's not 484 00:33:57.240 --> 00:34:00.880 around every day, it's harder for me to say. And I think that 485 00:34:00.599 --> 00:34:04.960 it's something that you know, we'll know more as this year goes along. 486 00:34:05.000 --> 00:34:07.039 I mean, Dave Roberts has always talked about how it's important to have your 487 00:34:07.199 --> 00:34:12.760 best players be leaders. You know, that makes everyone's job easier when it's 488 00:34:12.840 --> 00:34:16.920 Clayton Kershaw and Justin Turner and ken Lee Janssen providing those sort of examples. 489 00:34:16.960 --> 00:34:22.440 But like Kershaw was never a particularly vocal sort of guy. I mean Justin 490 00:34:22.519 --> 00:34:24.199 Turner, you know, I mean, maybe ken Lee was the most vocal 491 00:34:24.239 --> 00:34:29.159 of those three, but like Turner was not a big raw ra speech sort 492 00:34:29.199 --> 00:34:32.239 of guy. Utly certainly wasn't. I think it is interesting, you know, 493 00:34:32.280 --> 00:34:36.960 it's it's a challenge for someone like Otani to be the leader given that 494 00:34:37.480 --> 00:34:40.159 one like he doesn't you know, English isn't his native language, and so 495 00:34:40.280 --> 00:34:45.559 there's challenges there. He's had obviously a you know, tumultuous start to his 496 00:34:45.679 --> 00:34:49.000 Dodgers career with the scandal, and you know, I was thinking more Mookie 497 00:34:49.039 --> 00:34:52.400 and Freddy and that's not them. Yeah, I guess the issue with Mooki 498 00:34:52.440 --> 00:34:54.079 and Freddy is is it leadership or is it just like get a hit in 499 00:34:54.119 --> 00:34:58.920 the playoffs a little bit about right, Like, like would anyone you know, 500 00:34:59.079 --> 00:35:01.840 would it be an issue if they hit three hundred in the postseason? 501 00:35:01.880 --> 00:35:06.559 Probably not. Now how much does that affect, you know, the vibes 502 00:35:06.599 --> 00:35:08.079 and all that stuff coming in? I don't know. I just think so 503 00:35:08.320 --> 00:35:13.199 much of what has been rendered a judgment about this team is just based on 504 00:35:13.320 --> 00:35:15.800 the fact that those two guys didn't really play well in the postseason the last 505 00:35:15.840 --> 00:35:19.800 couple of years, which, like, you know, it goes on their 506 00:35:19.880 --> 00:35:22.679 record for it. But yeah, I don't know. I mean, it's 507 00:35:23.920 --> 00:35:27.840 it is definitely easier for a manager, for a team, for a clubhouse 508 00:35:27.880 --> 00:35:30.880 when the best players set the example for sure, all Right, Andy thanks 509 00:35:30.920 --> 00:35:34.880 a lot for the insight.

Before first pitch of this game one, let's head 559 00:38:55.119 --> 00:38:59.119 back out to the booth Thrick and Tim guys, Thank you, jam We 560 00:38:59.400 --> 00:39:02.320 count you down. The first pitch here at City Field in Queens as the 561 00:39:02.400 --> 00:39:07.079 Dodgers take on the New York Mets, Game one of a three game set, 562 00:39:07.159 --> 00:39:10.920 Game one of a double header that seted your way starting momentarily meantime, 563 00:39:10.960 --> 00:39:15.639 the Dodgers here at City Field have played very well in their last twenty games. 564 00:39:15.679 --> 00:39:19.760 They've won sixteen of those, so the vast majority of them. However, 565 00:39:19.840 --> 00:39:22.440 they're currently mired in the five game losing streak. It's been seven hundred 566 00:39:22.440 --> 00:39:28.719 and forty six days between the time they lost five in a row in April 567 00:39:28.760 --> 00:39:32.320 of twenty nineteen and right now and they're hoping for Tyler glasnow to have a 568 00:39:32.400 --> 00:39:36.679 bounce back performance after he suffered a loss his last time. Yah. He's 569 00:39:36.719 --> 00:39:39.559 also suffered from a very little run support. In fact, you start to 570 00:39:39.599 --> 00:39:45.000 look over the last three games, he's had just three runs scored behind him, 571 00:39:45.280 --> 00:39:47.800 and he begin to look at some of the numbers also with the glass 572 00:39:47.880 --> 00:39:53.000 noow tim fourth lowest banning AMAGS is starting pitching one eighty one, the highest 573 00:39:53.039 --> 00:39:58.280 total of strikeouts with eighty seven, and if you start to look at the 574 00:39:58.440 --> 00:40:02.840 first and second time to the it's below a two hundred batting average against. 575 00:40:02.960 --> 00:40:07.760 Third time two lineup has been somewhat problematic from an earned an average standpoint, 576 00:40:07.079 --> 00:40:09.960 But for Tyler Glasgow, I really expect him to come out to make a 577 00:40:10.199 --> 00:40:15.599 very big statement early in the ballgame and control this this baseball game. Eighty 578 00:40:15.679 --> 00:40:21.239 seven strikeouts and just sixty seven innings pitch this year and overall the opposition hitting 579 00:40:21.360 --> 00:40:25.039 one eighty one against him. That's the second best average against in the National 580 00:40:25.119 --> 00:40:29.000 League for a pitcher. Tyler McGill is my ould opponent. He's out of 581 00:40:29.039 --> 00:40:34.480 los Alamitos High School, former Arizona Wildcat, and also was at loyal to 582 00:40:34.559 --> 00:40:37.519 Marrimount. He'll be the mound opposition here in game one. Game two Jose 583 00:40:37.679 --> 00:40:43.800 Kintanna for the Mets, Gavin Stone going for the Dodgers. A traditional double 584 00:40:43.880 --> 00:40:46.000 header, A little more unusual these days not to have the day nighter, 585 00:40:46.280 --> 00:40:50.360 but we've got the traditional. Will be about thirty thirty five minutes after the 586 00:40:50.440 --> 00:40:53.599 conclusion of this one that Game two will begin. Tim all right, it's 587 00:40:53.639 --> 00:40:58.119 the Dodgers and Mets. Dodgers have lost five straight, Mets have lost five 588 00:40:58.159 --> 00:41:00.119 of their last six. Dodgers looking to get back on track. It's game 589 00:41:00.280 --> 00:41:05.760 one of this double header after the rainout yesterday. First Bitch is next. 590 00:41:06.000 --> 00:41:07.880 I'm Tim Kates has been wrong with Casino Dodgers on tech. I'm the Los 591 00:41:07.920 --> 00:41:09.719 Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.
