everybody, and welcome in to Morongo Casino Dodgers on deck. Hope you're well.
You're Los Angeles Dodgers. They sit at fifty and thirty one on this
season, first place atop the NL West, and they are running away with
the division, an eight game lead over the Padres going into tonight's game,
ten games up on the Diamondbacks, eleven and a half games up on the
San Francisco Giants. After back to back wins over the White Sox, the
Dodgers now go for the sweep on the south side. Gavin Stone on the
mount of this series finale. First pitch from Chicago is coming up at five
to ten. Coming up over the next hour. As we lead you up
to first pitcher on Wrongo Casino Dodgers on Deck, you will hear from Dodger
manager Dave Roberts, David Vaseego's one on one with t Oscar Hernandez will dive
deeper into this pitching matchup. We'll get your magical moment of the day.
Shortly, we'll check in with Kirsten Watson, who last night was busy after
the game, and in just a few minutes we'll check in with Rick Monday
and Tim Neffer at the Gallpin Motors Broadcast booth. Well last night at Chicago,
the bullpen picked up for Bobby Miller as the Dodgers hang on for the
win. Bobby Miller got the start, the right hander, making his second
start since returning from the IL. He lasted just two innings. He gave
him three runs on four hits while swalking three. The Dodgers offense, though
gave Bobby Miller the early lead to work with. Show Hey Otani let off
the Gang the game with a bang. A home run is nationally leading twenty
fourth home run this season. The Dodgers had a one to nothing lead.
Bobby Miller, though gave it back and some in the bottom of the first,
Andrew ben attending a two run home run, El Jimenez an RBI double,
and the White Sox put three runs on the board in the bottom of
the first to take a three to one lead and the third, though the
Dodgers big boppers were at it again, O'tani had walked to lead it off
two batters later. Freddie Freeman, here's the two one offer, Mandy Schwan
shits at the left field pretty well, let's care attend me back to the
wall. That's got a home run Tonnie Freeman and opposite field Homer ties the
game at three. Home run number twelve for Freeman, and the Dodgers have
come back to tie it in the top of the third three to three to
run home run for Freddy Freeman, his twelfth of the season RBI's number forty
seven and forty eight. Dodgers tied the game at three in the fourth,
the bottom of the Dodgers' lineup setting the table. Cavin Lucks at one out
walk. Miguel Vargas singled to left two batters later, two on two out
for show Hey, Townny. He's continuing his throwing program. Yesterday he was
throwing out the ninety feet on flat ground oh one pitch ground ball into right
field of base hit lux will score and the Dodgers take the lead. Vargas
rounding second and he is in the third and show hey O Towny with his
second run batted in Tonight HARBYI single for show Hey. Dodgers take the lead
of four to three. Oh Tawney's on fire driven in at least one run
in his last nine games, matching the franchise record. He's batting three to
zero six with ten home runs in twenty two RVII in twenty two games this
season. For this month, that is, Bobby Miller went the two innings
and gave up the three runs. The Dodgers' bullpen they picked it up they
needed to get twenty one out Michael Peterson two innings, Johann Ramirez, Anthony
Bonda play trying, and Daniel Hudson and then the ninth inning that belonged to
Evan Phillips. He got the ninth and he put up a zero. Dodgers
win it last night four to three. Rookie Michael Peterson gets the win,
his second in the big leagues. Evan Phillips say number thirteen. Dodgers now
fifty to thirty one on this season at the halfway point, Dodgers first place
in the NL West, and tonight they go for the sweep of the Chicago
White Sox. Gavin Stone on the mound from the south side and with more
we head out to the Galloping Motors broadcast booth as we say hello to Rick
Monday and Tim Neffert guys, Thanks very much, Tim. Really nice evening
here in Chicago. Some white puffy clouds upstairs, blue skies as we get
ready for the third and final game of this three game set between the Dodgers
and the White Socks. Dodgers with a chance to pull off a three game
sweep. They won three to nothing in game one two nights ago. Last
night a one run win four to three. Sho Hey. Otani has had
RBIs in both and tonight Otani with one RBI, which set a new all
time Dodger franchise record with RBIs in ten straight games. And they got the
game off last night in good fashion with a leadoff home run, the eighth
of his career. Well, he's done an amazing job taking over in that
lead on spot with the absence of Mookie Benz with the fractured hand. It's
incredible Tony came in last night. You start to look at what he's done
as a leadoff hitter, well, hitting it to four to thirty three as
he entered that ball game, And for the Dodgers, they understand full well.
So look, you need to take advantage of opportunities, and the opportunity
is against the ball club. That is really struggling, to say the least,
twenty one and sixty the White Sox record. In fact, we start
to talk about futility. Not only have lost thirty of the last thirty seven,
they have scored in just two of their last thirty innings that they have
played. They scored three runs in the first inning last night, and they
scored two runs in the seventh inning on Sunday in Detroit. But for the
Dodgers, they need to take advantage of a ball club right now, and
they've got a good guy going on the mound, Gavin Stone, in search
of his ninth victory of the season. Now you talk about the runs,
two hundred and forty six runs scored for the White Sox, that's thirty fewer
than the next closest team, The Marlins have two hundred and seventy six,
and it's one hundred and fifty nine fewer than the Dodgers have scored. They've
scored four hundred five on the season. T Oscar Hernandez back in the lineup
for the Dodgers, missing the last couple of games out due to the death
of his grandfather, and he is back now in batting second right in between
Otani and Freeman. Is there concern last night's starter and that being Bobby Miller,
who lasted only two winnings, and that was three runs on four hits.
He made sixty pitches and only thirty three of those were in the strike
zone. And that's two consecutive games for Bobby Miller's had a difficult in a
very high pitch count. Of course, the story in his rehab starts,
Dave Roberts is alluding to it. As it look it was inconsistent command of
the strike zone. We saw the same thing last night. The good news,
the great news, if you will, the bullpen seven scoreless innings among
six different relievers coming out of the bullpen. And when you talk about the
Dodger bullpen, they have pitched thirteen straight scoreless innings. The Dodger pen has
the second lowest ra in all of baseball, only behind the Cleveland Guardians pen
Cleveland two point three four right now the Dodgers three point zero two. So
the bullpen has been getting it done. Yeah, they've been getting it done.
And as you alluded to, also, Tioscar Hernana is back in the
lineup batting second, and Gavin Lux at second base. Mcel Rojas another start
at short stop. Boys, if you're doing a terrific job. KK Hernaniz
gets to start at third base, and Austin Barnes is going to be behind
the plate in bat night. Gavin Stone having a terrific season. He is
eight and two with an era just a bit over three. He will get
the start, the right hander facing Eric Fetti, last year's KBO MVP.
Fetti is five and two of the White Sox with an era just over three
as well. Vetti against Stone. That's the pitching matchup. As we get
you set for this one in Chicago. Tip all right, thank you guys,
as we count you down to first pitch. Dodger fans, get your
game. Dave Meal on a Shaky's Pizza Parlor. Order your Shaky's Pizza and
chicken and Mojo's right now. Shaky's dot Com coming up here on Dodgers on
dekil. Here from the manager Dave Roberts. We'll check out with David Vasse.
Of course, he'll go one on one with Taey Oscar Hernandez, who
is back in the lineup tonight for the Dodgers. We'll dip deeper into this
pitching matchup. We'll get your magical moment going back to nineteen fifty nine on
next. So you're o Tani rewind as we'll hear from Showy Otani as well.
So he leads up to first pitch on this Wednesday, Dodgers and White
Sox from Chicago. Thanks for being with us. I'm Tim Katson's Los Angeles
Dodgers Audio network is Morono Casino, Dodgers on, Dodgers on deck y'all on
the official home of LA Dodgers Baseball. Dodgers and White Socks from Chicago.
Gavin Stone, Eric Fetti the bitching matchup. First Fitch said for five ten,
this is the Otani rewide. Now the two two swang on and well
hit to right field heading back toward the wall is Tommy fam He will leap
and it's gone. It's into the pulppen. That's a home run for show
Haltani. It is one nothing Dodgers. He goes back to touch first.
He thinks he missed it. Now he goes to second base. Otani with
his twenty fourth home run, his fifty ninth RBI, and he ties an
all time Dodger record with RBIs in nine straight games. Roy Campanella in nineteen
fifty five did it, And now show Hey Otani has joined him on that
list. Oh one pitch ground ball into right field of base it lux will
score and the Dodgers take the lead. Vargas rounding second and he is in
the third and show Hey Otani with his second run batted in Tonight, Show
hey Otani goes two for four last night with the lead off home run,
his ninth home run in the last fourteen games. He also has the RBI
single to put the Dodgers in front four to three in the fourth inning.
That would be the last run score by either team. As show Heyotani now
hitting three twenty on this season. The Otani Rewind brought to you by Eto

That's it, o e n dot Com. What a night for shoe Heotani
And afterwards Kirsten Watson caught up with him. Show Hey, when you look
at this month of June, you lead the National League in home runs.
Has there been anything different for your swing or do you feel like You've unlocked
something this month? It just really swinging at pitches I'm supposed to swing,
swing at within the zone and making sure that I'm laying off pitches outside the
zone. Okay, you added another leadoff home runs and stepping in from Ki
Bets. What is your approach in this now situation? And nothing in particular.
It's just, you know, just trying to make sure that I have
quality at bad and something that I think is good for the team as well.
So I'm gonna continued to do that. Yesterday we saw James Paxton in
the bullpen put a shutout performance today behind Bobby Miller. How did you see
this bullpen? Just have another amazing performance and support him on Mascot, Montoni,
the mines, the solid work overall throughout the whole season. Just you
know, ideally you want to put up a couple more runs, so it's
going to be a little bit easier for the bullpen. Congratulations on this win
tonight's show, Hey, thank you, all right, there's Karsten Watson with
show. Hey Otani. Last night after the Dodgers four to three win,

Bruce dar Grader Aal Joe Kelly, Tony Gonsoland does to may All on the
sixty day I all right, let's head back out to Chicago and check out
the Dodger manager. Any questions for Dave Dave? Can you just describe Dave?
Can you talk about the pressure in the dugouts with Dave Roberts Dave.
Tomorrow's the deadline for the first tier of All Star voting. Will Smith,
Ti, Oscar Hernandez among other players that might have a case. What do
you believe as far as them being All Stars? Yeah, it's it's a
no brainer. I think Will is an easy one. As far as talent,
He's one of the top two or three catchers in the game, let
alone the National League, and you just look at the numbers and what he's
done on the production side, performance side, it's you know, the All
Star Game is interesting because it's a lot of it is based on popularity and
certain fan bases that are more active voting, And my encouragement for for the
Dodger fans is to, you know, get off your hands and start voting
for your players because you look at all these other fan bases that the players
aren't nearly as having the seasons that our guys are having, and they're leading
the fan voting. So that's what's disappointing for me as a manager, because
the players are not going to promote themselves. So it's about the fans,
you know, supporting the play their players. Ta Oscar Hernandez leads all National
League outfielders and home runs and RBIs has he been better than what you even
expected? He is? He has? You know, he he's he has
been. The short answer is, yes, he's controlling the zone a lot
better. I've talked about him with guys in scorn position. You know,
how he performs and what he does and runs batten in matters and Pitchers that
pitch in those spots will tell you they pitch hitters differently, and hitters that
are in those spots will tell you that they're pitched differently. And so for
you to be good in that spot and driving runs is meaningful. So he's
having a tremendous season. All right. There's Dave Roberts down the dugout encouraging
you Dodger fans to get out and vote at Dodgers dot com slash Vote brought
to you by Service Titan. Dave Roberts is a Titan in his zone right,

Lacare dot Org. Joining Tim Kats on Dodgers on Deck. I accept everybody
for who they are. This is Dodger insider David Bass. David now joins
us from Chicago in the series finale from the South Side and David tay Oscar
Hernandez. He's back, Yes, he is. After dealing with some personal
issues, some family issues. He was able to make it back to Chicago
last night. Tim he was available off the bench. He showed up before
first pitch, but obviously Dave Roberts did not go to him. So he
is back in the starting lineup. He is hitting second behind Shohei Otani.
Austin Barnes is catching behind the plate tonight. And keep this in mind,
I know the All Star Phase one balloting is ending at some point tomorrow.
Taoscar Hernandez has the most home runs and RBIs of any National League outfielder,
and I don't really believe he's getting the do respect this season that he deserves.
I know, mistery relevant Jerkson Profar, he has a flair for the
dramatics starting to charge mounds again last night. But taoscar Hernandez and Profar have
been the two most productive National League outfielders in a position that usually is stacked.
Those are the two best guys we play. Had eighty one games halfway
point of the season, David and the Dodgers have won fifty games. Pretty
impressive. Yeah, if you look at the Dodgers the last four full seasons
ten they won one hundred plus games. They're on pace again to win one
hundred games exactly this season. That would make it five consecutive full seasons where
the Dodgers have won one hundred or more games. Think about how spoiled this
fan base is. I know they want the ultimate prize, but certainly you
have to enjoy the ride in the summer where the Dodgers, going back to
twenty thirteen basically have won the division every year except one season when the Giants
had that fluke year and won one hundred and seven games. The Dodgers won
one hundred and six and twenty twenty one. So it's been a tremendous ride.
And this season I believe has met the expectations for the team, and
Shoho Tani has met in the expectations. He's threatening for triple Crown status here
so far at the midway points. So I don't know what there is to
complain about, but I'm sure somebody will find something. You mentioned the show,
hey Otani, and the fans look at what he's done, David at
the leadoff spot since Mookie Betts went down with the fractured hand, and now
the fans are arguing he should be the lead off hit or the rest of
the way. Is there any chatter that are you hearing that being with this
team, Well, the reason why the door has been left open is because
Dave Roberts hasn't shot it down. He had opportunities to shoot it down completely,
but he did leave the door open, and I believe the reason why
he did is because Mookie Bets will have missed at least six weeks and even
though he may be back and may be healthy, the feeling in that left
hand may not be the same that it was before he broke it. So
I could see Dave Roberts deciding, you know what, We're gonna give Muki
a soft and not put him in that pressure cooker spot of the leadoff position
for the first seven to ten games. But to me, Tim, once
Mookie gets his feet under him and gets the feelback in the batter's box,
no question he should be the Dodgers' leadoff hitter. David is driven by the
Ford F Series, America's best selling truck for forty seven years in counting.
Ford gives you freedom of choice gas hybrid electric. Head to your southern California
Ford dealers and find yours Ford F Series built tough. Gavin Stone has been
a gym this year, no pun intended. David eight wins already on this
season, and you can make a strong caseman one of the best starting pitchers
in all of baseball. He really has zan. Look when you look at
Gavin Stone, I know he pitched a couple of times last year. He
still has his rookie status, and I know Joey Yortiz of the Brewers is
having a great rookie year. I'm sure there's been a couple of other guys
showed to Imanaga. But to me, Gavin Stone should be right up there
as far as consideration at this on in time for National League Rookie of the
Year. And honestly, Tim, if he has a good one or two
more starts, he may be making a case for himself to be part of
the National League All Star Team. Tyler Glass now, uh, Gavin Stone.
I feel like those are the two pitchers that have pitched all season long
and deserve consideration, no doubt about a great stuff, DV. We'll check
back with you in just a couple of minutes. Coming up here on Marongo
Casino Dodgers on deck, we'll break down this pitching match up. But up
next we'll get your Dodgers magical moment if we lead you up to Dodgers and

nine, Comiski Park in Chicago, Dodgers taking on the White Sox in the

Snyder would hit a two run home run to give the Dodgers a two to
nothing lead. In the fourth, the Dodgers would put a six spot up

broadcaster and World Series champion Dodger Rick Monday. Rick the Dodgers looking for the
sweep and Gavin Stone is a pretty good pitcher to have on the mound.
Well he is, and he's been pitching very very well, Tim Nevertt and
I will talk about that a little bit later on on the pregame show.
But he's not doing a bad job. And that's an understatement. I mean
he's eight and two with an ERA just a fraction above three, and it's
even below that in the four starts this month. In the month of June,
he's undefeated. Last night, all four runs were driven in by two
players show Hey Otani and Freddie Freeman. Not sure if you heard this,
Rick, but around three point thirty yesterday afternoon, Freddie Freeman pointed to left
field and told me I'm going to hit one there tonight. Okay, so
we have something. So you did not do what some people have done in
the past and passed along things I think of I think of Babe Ruth who
hit the home run in Wrigley Field, and Gabby Hartnett was the catcher.
Now what took place at home plate? Did Babe Ruth actually call for the
home run or not? Gabby Hartnett told one person that was Renee A.
Latchman, what really took place at home plate? And he said, I'll
tell you on one condition, you never tell anyone else. I roomed with
Renee Latchman in DOUBLEA, got called up to the big leagues. We were
roommates also and on the major league team, And sticking up to his word,
Renee Lantschman never told anyone and has not to this date told anyone what
Gabby harten said took place at home plate? Well, you played for the
clubs on the other side of town. What was the buzz about Babe Ruth
calling you shot? I have no idea, but hey, at least Freddie
called the shot kind of. I tried to tell him after the game.
I remembered what he said. He said, Well, I just noticed the
wind and the way it was blowing out. I felt like left field was
a good spot last night. Okay, So Johnny on the spot, the
interpreter of actions of the players. Did you talk to him today? I
did talk to him today. He did not call a shot today. Oh
so we have to rely on someone else's say, well, he did not
call a shot today. Yesterday he pointed to left field. Today he did
not. Well, the wind is blowing out kind of in the same direction
here just before the ball game. Not as as strongly as it was in
last night's game. But what the heck, we'll find out. You don't
look at the flags in this ballpark as much as you do Wrigley Field.
Speaking of Wrigley Field, you know, being here, you think about not
only the White Sox, but obviously the Cobs, And I think about Rick
Monday playing for the Cubs and some of the great players that you played alongside.
I'm glad you brought that up, because I start to think of one
of the of the teammates that I had, one of the really delightful people.
We lost him way way too early, that being Ron Sadom, who
has been inducted down and posthumously in the Baseball's Hall of Fame. But I
started to look at something. I found something today a little bit earlier.
It was on this date in nineteen sixty six. It was a wild game.
It was the Cubs against the Mets, and ron Santo was hit in
the face by a pitch thrown by Jack Fisher, who was the pitcher for
the New York Mets. Well, it wound up, it fractured Ronnie's cheek,
and it ended a consecutive game streak that he had at that particular time.
He'd hit in twenty six executive games. That was short of Hack Wilson's
nineteen twenty nine franchise mark. But here's the aftermath of it. So he
gets hit by a pitch, a fractured cheek, He underwent surgery the next
day. He was back in the lineup six days later, and what did
he do the first at bat? Got a base hit. They don't make
him like they used to. Rick. I'll tell you what. He was
one of the most inspirational, the most positive people I have ever been around
in my entire life. And I've told the story and it's worth repeating because
ron Santo at a very early age, found out that he had diabetes.
And he went around during his entire career as a major league player and going
and talking to kids and talking to schools and saying, look, there's a
lot of things that pop up in life, but those that may have diabetes,
I want you to understand I also have diabetes and I'm in the major
leagues. You can do what you can do. Talk to your physicians.
There's wonderful things that you can do. It's gotten better and better. But
he sent a great message to the young around not only Chicago, all around
the country, touch lives about Hey, look we can all overcome some stuff.
I love it, Rick, I love when you share those stories about
your former teammates. And we'll catch up with you and Tim Nevert a little
bit later. Tonight. Get out of here. You've got a coat and
tie on tonight, get out of here. Thanks a lot, Rick,
We'll send it back to you in the studio, all right, Thanks lot,

there's the business of baseball, but at the end of the day, it's
a game and a great escape. Yeah, you know, this is my

goals and and in their minds, and one of those is just to be
part of the All Star Game. And why not to be starting spot when
when the game starts. Hey, you deserve it. Like I said,
nobody's been better than you. I mean, I'm not gonna say that,

you came here to win. The Dodgers won their fiftieth game last night.
You guys are on pace for one hundred wins again this regular season? Has

come back to the team. Oh, he was happy. He's a He's
glad that I'm back, and you know, enjoy, enjoy what we have

that has to play all the games. But you know, for that reason,
I have to go and miss two games. But I'm here now and

we head back out to the booth Rick Monday tip never guys, Tam,
thanks again very much. We cauch it out of the first pitch here
at Guaranteed Raid Field on the South side of Chicago. The White Sox and
the Dodgers the third game of the set, and the Dodgers a chance to
sweep this series against the team with the worst record in Major League Baseball twenty
one and sixty for the White Sox Dodgers fifty and thirty one after eighty one
games. Now we start the second half of the season. Technically, Gavin
Stone on the hill eight and two. Stone has done very well. He's
also been the benefactor of some key runs scored for him. The Dodgers have
won nine of his last ten starts, and in those games he has won
seven of those decisions, only lost one, and ready to close out the
month of June, He's three and oh in the four start to the era
of right around two and three quarters is all one thing to look at for
Gavin Stone. For whatever reason, he's had difficulty in the first pitch thrown
to a batter and how much difficulty will the four hundred average. But I
expect Gammon Stone tonight to really use that changeup eighth highest percentage of change ups
used by starting pitchers so far this season. That's in Major League Baseball,
not just to the National League. But he also he has a pretty good
gidea up on the fast ball as well. Stone has pitched into the sixth
inning and nine of the ten starts that the Dodgers have won. He pitched
into the sixth inning his last time out against Colorado, and so the Dodgers
aren't going to need some length out of him here. You get a day
off tomorrow, So if Stone can give the bullpen some rest, so to
speak, and pitch deep into the ball, gave a day off tomorrow,
they'll be rested and ready to go for the weekend in San Francisco. Fetty
thing to look at. He's not overpowering. He'll try and keep the ball
away from you most of the time. Good breaking stuff. Fan like Stone
has a pretty good changeup, Betty against Stone, that's the pitching matchup.
Dodgers going for a sweep of this three game series here in Chicago. Tim
all right, thank you guys. Dodgers going into play tonight at first place
and all loan atop the n L West, an eight game lead over the
San Diego Padres andres in action earlier today, they get an eight to five
win over the Washington National, So Dodgers eight games up, looking to push
him back to eight and a half with a win, ten games up on
the Diamonbacks, eleven and a half games up on the Giants going into action
tonight, and I'll be back after the game with all the postgame festivities including
Dodger talk as well. But the first pitch is next from South Side of
