Speaker 4: Con that is gone.
Speaker 5: It's the first major league home run for his son Kim,
Speaker 5: and the Dodgers have tight up three to three.
Speaker 4: Is Kim goes deep.
Speaker 6: In the pavilions, somebody game the baseball first home run
Speaker 6: of his big league career for hey son Kim. That's
Speaker 6: the top tier play of the game, brought to by
Speaker 6: ARCO quality, top tier gas for less. Dodgers and Athletics
Speaker 6: tied to three, and this six Dodgers took the lead
Speaker 6: with an RBI single from Miguel Rojas, up four to three.
Speaker 6: Then the eighth, the Athletics walked show Heyo Tani to
Speaker 6: get the Mookie Betts, who made him pay with the
Speaker 6: two run double. Max Munsey then followed up with the
Speaker 6: three run home run. Dodgers, with five in the inning,
Speaker 6: took a nine to three lead. They go on and
Speaker 6: win by that same final score. Yoshi Yamamoto to win
Speaker 6: his fifth of the season. Dodgers improved a twenty eight
Speaker 6: and fifteen on the season. They remained a half game
Speaker 6: up on the Padres in the NL West, and Tonight
Speaker 6: the rubber game of this three game series, Matt Souer
Speaker 6: on the mound for the Dodgers. It is a bullpen game.
Speaker 6: A sellout crowd expected on this show. Heyo Tani bobblehead Night.
Speaker 6: First pitch is seven to ten and with more we
Speaker 6: head out to the Gaping Motors broadcast booth as we
Speaker 6: welcome in Tim Never and Jose Mode.
Speaker 1: Guys.
Speaker 5: Thank you, Tim. It's a gorgeous evening at Dodgers Stadium.
Speaker 5: What else is new? As the Dodgers get set to
Speaker 5: take on the Athletics for the third and final game
Speaker 5: of this series. It is the rubber match, as the
Speaker 5: Dodgers and A's have split the first two. Dodgers, winning
Speaker 5: nine to three last night, really got the bats going,
Speaker 5: especially late, putting up five runs in the eighth inning
Speaker 5: to put the game away. Max Munsey with his second
Speaker 5: home run of the year, show Hey Otani, Andy Paiz,
Speaker 5: and Hessan Kim had his first major league home run
Speaker 5: last night. Today, it's a bullpen game for the Dodgers.
Speaker 5: Matt Sower will come out first. He'll start, making his
Speaker 5: fifth appearance in his first since the eleventh in Arizona.
Speaker 4: He's one to zero with.
Speaker 5: A one five to four earned run average. And on
Speaker 5: the other side it's Osvaldo Bideaux. Badel was two and
Speaker 5: three with a four to seven to five earned run average,
Speaker 5: making his ninth start and Jose. It took a little
Speaker 5: bit last night after Otani's first inning home run, but
Speaker 5: the Dodgers finally got the offense going the re leadoff
Speaker 5: home runs in the game, with pie His and Kim
Speaker 5: doing the same.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Part of the formula was the Dodgers control the
Speaker 4: strying zone quite well. Yesterday they had base runners in
Speaker 4: seven out of the eight innings and they only struck
Speaker 4: out with seven times had six walks. So there was
Speaker 4: pretty much a combination of putting pressure on the a's
Speaker 4: all throughout the evening, having some good at bats utilized
Speaker 4: in the other part of the field quite well. Three
Speaker 4: for seven, well men of scoring visit you mentioned Miltani, Betts, Freeman,
Speaker 4: Muncie and Pie has eight hits seven RBI. I think
Speaker 4: if that formula, and then with a guy in the
Speaker 4: bottom that was so good yesterday and Kim that'll.
Speaker 5: Work tonight is a big night for the Dodgers organization.
Speaker 5: It's a big night for a young man named Dalton
Speaker 5: Rushing making his major league debut. He'll make his first
Speaker 5: major league start behind the plate tonight. It is just
Speaker 5: it's always a big night for an organization when the
Speaker 5: number one prospect gets called up and gets to.
Speaker 4: Play, gets to play and earns it. That's one thing.
Speaker 4: This guy was not just brought up because he's got
Speaker 4: a name or reputation, or he's a first rounder or
Speaker 4: second rounder. He is a guy that went down and
Speaker 4: two hundred and sixty four career games in the minors,
Speaker 4: two seventy seven average, fifty four home runs, fifty five doubles,
Speaker 4: one hundred and eighty five RBI four to twelve, on
Speaker 4: base five nineteen, slugging nineteen thirty one ops. And that
Speaker 4: tells you Number one, he's a hard contact guy, has
Speaker 4: a great understanding of the strike zone. We're just talking
Speaker 4: about spring training. He went two for ten, played in
Speaker 4: thirteen games. He walked nine times, so his on base
Speaker 4: percentage in spring training was six nineteen. And I'm just
Speaker 4: happy to see and talking to him yesterday and throughout
Speaker 4: pretty much this season. His understanding of the responsibilities of
Speaker 4: being a guy that takes care of the pictures in
Speaker 4: communication and learns how to call a game and understands
Speaker 4: what sequences as Dave Roberts was saying today about watching
Speaker 4: the game last night, and these tendencies out of das
Speaker 4: hit are. So he takes a lot of pride number one,
Speaker 4: in the catching part. But the hitting will be there
Speaker 4: slowly but surety, because he does know his own quite well.
Speaker 5: He took from a batch at first base in TRIAA
Speaker 5: this year, only one in left field, one game in
Speaker 5: left field. He played a bunch of games at first base,
Speaker 5: mostly behind the plate. Dave Roberts telling us yesterday and
Speaker 5: a little bit today that he's gonna catch here, that
Speaker 5: he's gonna catch twice a week, he's gonna do all
Speaker 5: the off game work, and he's they're not gonna have
Speaker 5: Will Smith catch three games in a row now and
Speaker 5: Dalton Rush, He's gonna get plenty of time.
Speaker 4: Suc coosecutive years. Will has been backed up at the
Speaker 4: end of the season. Remember the previous year was ripped,
Speaker 4: which nobody knew about until after the season, and then
Speaker 4: last season when slided second base with the ankle. So
Speaker 4: it's got to dispatchage him. You know that we'll want
Speaker 4: to catch every day. Will that caught every single inning
Speaker 4: this past postseason two and thirty. You won as far
Speaker 4: as your spossible, especially with a bat coming up here
Speaker 4: for a long season.
Speaker 5: And a milestone game for Freddie Freeman as he plays
Speaker 5: in his five hundredth game as a Los Angeles Dodger tonight,
Speaker 5: Osvaldo Bideau for the A's and Matt sour starts a
Speaker 5: bullpen game for the Dodgers. First pitch lineups not too

Speaker 7: All right.
Speaker 6: Two big things happening at the stadium tonight, Bobblehead Night.
Speaker 1: The fifty to fifty show.
Speaker 6: Hey, Bobblehead is tonight, and I know there's a buzz
Speaker 6: there is.
Speaker 8: It's honestly packed on the field right now, Like to
Speaker 8: it's like what it's the A series. It is a
Speaker 8: I thought it was Wednesday all day today, but it's
Speaker 8: a Thursday night, and so you can feel the energy already.
Speaker 8: Fans are here. I will say fans did listen though
Speaker 8: to the note that every single ticketed.
Speaker 1: Fan is going to get a bobblehead.
Speaker 8: So there wasn't lines down to what downstadium drive, you
Speaker 8: know that, but it was definitely packed, so people are
Speaker 8: already inside. You can feel the energy also just from
Speaker 8: the excitement of last night. The wind a lot of
Speaker 8: home runs, so we'll see, you know, usually on the
Speaker 8: Bobblehead night. To be fair, it didn't happen on movies
Speaker 8: Bibblehead night, but usually you might see a home run.
Speaker 8: Maybecause it's fifty to fifty Bobblehead tonight, maybe we see
Speaker 8: a stolen base and a home run. He seemed to
Speaker 8: love doing that last year whenever it was a big moment,
Speaker 8: So we'll see what happens.
Speaker 6: Also, besides the Bobblehead, the major League debut.
Speaker 1: Keirston of Dalton Rushing.
Speaker 8: Oh yeah, it's Dalton times now. And when it comes
Speaker 8: to him, he is someone he's so excited first of all,
Speaker 8: like just for him to finally get this opportunity. Dave
Speaker 8: Roberts talked about it yesterday. He's gonna get some runway
Speaker 8: when you look at kind of who he's catching for today,
Speaker 8: it's going to be a bullpen game and Matt Salvers
Speaker 8: going to have the start, and he's got familiarity with him,
Speaker 8: so whether it's him, whether it's Justin Robleski who's been
Speaker 8: called up today, so he's gonna be seeing some arms
Speaker 8: that he's like, he's very familiar and so that adds
Speaker 8: to the comfortability. That wasn't the intention when Dave Roberts
Speaker 8: put him behind the plate today. He wanted to give
Speaker 8: Will Smith a day off, so I was not playing
Speaker 8: three in a row or having just played three in
Speaker 8: a row. So for that case, that was kind of
Speaker 8: what the thought process was. But for Dalton yesterday, he
Speaker 8: was sitting with Dave Roberts in bob every time Yoshinobu
Speaker 8: was on the mound and when Will Smith was catching,
Speaker 8: he was taking in so much information, whether it was
Speaker 8: the signs, the situation, the game calling, all of the
Speaker 8: different things, and that was something that he actually took
Speaker 8: the initiative up doing. It wasn't something that the coaches
Speaker 8: asked him to do, and so Dave Roberts one was
Speaker 8: just really pleased with that. It kind of shows the
Speaker 8: maturity and who he is and the type of competitor
Speaker 8: he is.
Speaker 1: He wants to go out there.
Speaker 8: And do a good job, and so he's just soaking
Speaker 8: up so much information.
Speaker 1: But he's ready.
Speaker 8: He's gonna have a lot of friends and family here
Speaker 8: today to support him making his major league debut, and
Speaker 8: it's his time now, so everyone's very excited for him.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be exciting night.
Speaker 6: You can already hear the buzz as we leave you
Speaker 6: up the first pitch, Thank you curiously still to come here,
Speaker 6: I'm Wronggo Casino. Dodgers on deck will dive deeper into
Speaker 6: this pitching matchup.
Speaker 1: David Vetze goes.
Speaker 6: One on one with one of the great guys in baseball,
Speaker 6: Athletics manager Mark Kotze.
Speaker 1: But up next, we'll get you to an injury report. A
Speaker 1: we'll hear from.
Speaker 6: Dodger manager Dave Roberts and Dodgers and Athletics first pitch

Speaker 6: dark Graderole on the sixty day i L. Clayton Kershaw
Speaker 6: just to getting closer and closer two days away.
Speaker 1: When he makes his return off the I L.
Speaker 6: A's head back out to Dodger Stadium and checking in
Speaker 6: with the Dodger Skipper.
Speaker 4: Any questions for Dave Dave? Can you just describe Dave?
Speaker 1: Can you talk about the pressure the dugouts with Dave Roberts.
Speaker 9: I think there's some of that, but I think right
Speaker 9: now I feel good with Will not catching three in
Speaker 9: a row, So I think that's more of the kind
Speaker 9: of the genesis behind it. But it certainly helps that
Speaker 9: you know, Dald's gonna be catching guys that he's familiar with.
Speaker 7: Reski now here.
Speaker 3: Is the hope that potentially even then, just considering.
Speaker 4: That both build death can take down the.
Speaker 9: Entirety of this game, we'll see, you know, justin I
Speaker 9: just you know, getting him here, I think around the guys,
Speaker 9: the coaches, I think is a good thing. And so
Speaker 9: I don't know what particular role he'll play tonight, so
Speaker 9: we'll kind of read and react on how you know
Speaker 9: sour does.
Speaker 4: Was again saying up the plat round or is he
Speaker 4: getting anny closer to getting all of them out?
Speaker 9: Yeah, I don't know when that's gonna be. But from
Speaker 9: what I hear that the catch play, the flat ground
Speaker 9: stuff has been good, but I'm not sure when he's
Speaker 9: going to get on the mountain though, where is your interest.
Speaker 4: At this point? That pattered today, it's very good spot
Speaker 4: to just go back to the traditional five minute rotation
Speaker 4: about locking meeting.
Speaker 9: The next right have Well, I think so you know,
Speaker 9: if we look out to the next series, it's uh,
Speaker 9: it's Dustin, you know, it's May, and then it's Kersh
Speaker 9: and then it's Gonsolin and then so you know, for
Speaker 9: the next you know, a few days and and we'll
Speaker 9: see how it goes with Sour going forward and obviously
Speaker 9: with land In. But I think we're in a good spot.
Speaker 9: But it's still going to be time obviously with you know, Blake,
Speaker 9: Snow and Uh and Glass. Now you know a little
Speaker 9: bit behind all.
Speaker 6: Right, there's Dave Roberts giving an update on some of
Speaker 6: the Dodger pitchers on the I L and what the
Speaker 6: plan is moving forward with this rotation with a couple
Speaker 6: of holes. Now, Oki Sasaki should have been his start
Speaker 6: tonight in said Matt Sower gets to start in a
Speaker 6: bullpen game. Dodgers Baseball is brought to you by Cars

Speaker 6: continue here on Dodgers on Deck. We will check in
Speaker 6: with David Vasse so we lead you up to first
Speaker 6: pitch on this Thursday night show, Hey Otani Bobblehead Night,
Speaker 6: Dodgers Athletics. I'm Tim Kas's World champion Los Angeles Dodgers
Speaker 6: Audio Network.
Speaker 3: As we were saying, this is Marongo Casino, Dodgers on
Speaker 3: Deck on the official home of La Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 1: Dodgers Athletics.
Speaker 6: Matt Sour the opener for the Dodgers on show, Hey
Speaker 6: Otani Bobblehead Night, first pitch in the ravine, coming up at.
Speaker 3: Seven ten, joining Tim kits on Dodgers on Deck.
Speaker 7: I accept everybody for who they are.
Speaker 3: This is Dodger insider David Basse all.
Speaker 6: Right, DV last night the Dodgers offense. He rupped it
Speaker 6: after being held to just one run the night before
Speaker 6: and last night late in the game, Mookie Betts showed
Speaker 6: a lot of emotion after that to run double.
Speaker 4: Yeah, how about that? Mark consee who's going to join
Speaker 4: us later in the show. Decided to walk show. Hey
Speaker 4: O Tawni with first base open in the eighth inning
Speaker 4: of last night's game in a one run ball game
Speaker 4: with runners at first and second, and Mooki Betts made
Speaker 4: him pay and our guy Rick Krajuski next door actually
Speaker 4: had a great note in those situations over the course
Speaker 4: of the last two years. Mookie Betts is three for
Speaker 4: four with seven RBIs, including that two run double. After
Speaker 4: last night's game, we caught up with Mooki on the field.
Speaker 4: The emotions had cooled down, but the competitive spirit was
Speaker 4: certainly still there.
Speaker 10: I mean, you know, there's only so many moments you're
Speaker 10: gonna get. You know, we all went on played the
Speaker 10: game for so long, and so coming up in a
Speaker 10: situation like that, you know, the opportunities I'm blessed for,
Speaker 10: especially beat behind show. Hey, there's so many, but anytime
Speaker 10: you can come through and help help the guys win,
Speaker 10: I mean, it's always fun.
Speaker 4: That was a big hit for Mooki, who has not
Speaker 4: been swinging the bat that badly. But certainly, you know,
Speaker 4: it's weird. Mookie always needs to be reminded how good
Speaker 4: he is, and I think he reminded himself in the
Speaker 4: eighth inning last night.
Speaker 6: David is shriven by four. If there's one thing to
Speaker 6: be like, its choices, fine yours. With the fort f
Speaker 6: one to fifty gas hybrid all electric tough, this mark
Speaker 6: can only be called f one fifty smart?
Speaker 1: What are the Dodgers gonna do with this decision?
Speaker 6: Cut up David's lingering here with Tommy Edmund and to
Speaker 6: Oscar Hernandez possibly coming back. Hey, song King, what's the
Speaker 6: smart decision to make here? As far as roster.
Speaker 4: Spots, well, both those guys will return next week, whether
Speaker 4: it's by the end of this homestand or when the
Speaker 4: Dodgers head out to the East Coast for their six
Speaker 4: game road trip, and James Houtman, who's starting again tonight,
Speaker 4: is likely the first one to be sent out. But
Speaker 4: then after that, the Dodgers still have to debate the
Speaker 4: pros and cons of sending Hayesan Kim down to the
Speaker 4: minor leagues or keeping him on the bench. There's going
Speaker 4: to be opportunities for him, and you never know what
Speaker 4: can happen with players to whether or not they got
Speaker 4: nagging injuries. So you know, I feel like today I
Speaker 4: was convinced. Yesterday, I was all in on sending him
Speaker 4: down and having regular at bats, But I was convinced
Speaker 4: today that there would be plenty of opportunities for him
Speaker 4: to play here. And I noticed on Chris Taylor's left
Speaker 4: leg he still had that heavy knee brace on it,
Speaker 4: so that front leg has been barking for quite some time.
Speaker 4: We'll see whether or not Chris Taylor plays through it
Speaker 4: whenever the time comes to make that decision.
Speaker 1: If the leg's a barking, Iel is coming.
Speaker 6: Dalton Rushing, speaking of coming, he's come on up to
Speaker 6: the big leagues, Dave, and he's making his debut. You
Speaker 6: can hear the buzz at Dodger Stadium right now.
Speaker 4: That's not the buzz. That's the sound of thunder off
Speaker 4: his bat during batting practice, Tim it was electric. I mean,
Speaker 4: it was one of those batting practices sessions that you
Speaker 4: stop and watch. I mean I was talking to actually
Speaker 4: the strength trainer, Jonathan Irb, who Kato Tani's home run
Speaker 4: ball in Miami while Rushing was taking BP, and I said,
Speaker 4: hold on, let me watch this, because Rushing was hitting
Speaker 4: home runs halfway up the right field pavilion. It's gonna
Speaker 4: be interesting tonight to see how he handles, you know,
Speaker 4: four or five different pitchers. There's a lot of game
Speaker 4: planning to process. But I can't wait to see him
Speaker 4: hit tonight and see whether or not that batting practice
Speaker 4: translates to tonight's game.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a fun noe doubt about it.
Speaker 6: Time now for the Dodger Jermy Botch you by Santa
Speaker 6: Anita for Dave and I pick races. We're looking at
Speaker 6: tomorrow Friday's first race, six furlongs, currently only a five

Speaker 6: First pitch coming up at seven ten, We head back
Speaker 6: out to the booth. Oh damn Vass standing by with
Speaker 6: Jose Mota.
Speaker 1: Guys.
Speaker 4: Not many people know this, Tim Kates, but our very
Speaker 4: own Jose Mota is a proud cow State Fullerton Titan.
Speaker 4: So is Oakland Athletics manager Mark Kotze, now just the
Speaker 4: athletics former closer also with the titles right, that's right, yep.
Speaker 4: I don't know if you realize this, but Mark Kotse
Speaker 4: is gonna join us, coming up here in a couple
Speaker 4: of minutes. And I asked him what or who is
Speaker 4: on his Mount Rushmore at cal State Fullerton Titans outside
Speaker 4: of AUGI Garrito spoiler alert, neither you or Colin Yee
Speaker 4: are on that Mount Rushmore Jose Colin were done. We
Speaker 4: don't like Cots anymore. Who's on your cal State Fullerton,
Speaker 4: Mount Rushmore outside of Augie Garrito. I gotta go Tim Wallack.
Speaker 4: Tim Wallack's gotta be their seventy nine Silver Spikes winner.
Speaker 4: Tim Wallack probably Bob Caffrey, because then Caffrey came in
Speaker 4: our capture nineteen eighty four and broke Wallack's home run
Speaker 4: record hit twenty at home runs. Wallack never told me
Speaker 4: that twenty at homers. And he was the team quarterback
Speaker 4: by the way too. Wow, Okay, I didn't even know
Speaker 4: they had football there. Well, you're not the only one.
Speaker 2: He had.
Speaker 4: Mark spoiler alert, Kottsey had Justin Turner at the very
Speaker 4: top of his Mount Rushmore. Their buddies, Yeah, okay, they're buddies,
Speaker 4: all right, that's all Mark Kottze. Did you ever think
Speaker 4: he would be a manager? I knew he was gonna
Speaker 4: be a co manager. No, But when he became a coach,
Speaker 4: I'm like, uh, Cots, wait a minute. Everybody says that
Speaker 4: you're more than just a coach. And then he staff
Speaker 4: and he's like, yep, I go, you're gonna be a manager.
Speaker 4: Hall and he's like yeah, now that I have the
Speaker 4: taste of it. Yeah, why not. But he he went
Speaker 4: through the ranks, so he was an advisor and then
Speaker 4: he became a coach, became a hitting coach. But man,
Speaker 4: he was one of those guys though they like a catcher.
Speaker 4: He was managing while he was playing. You know what
Speaker 4: I mean? Yeah that makes sense. Yeah, very smart guy,
Speaker 4: your very detail. Had a chance to catch up with
Speaker 4: him today a lot and boy he he Rick Henderson
Speaker 4: T shirt he had on today. Yeah he did, and uh,
Speaker 4: I mean he confirmed what we talked about. He goes,
Speaker 4: I want my guys to get on base by not
Speaker 4: taking pitches. I want my guys to get on base
Speaker 4: by hitting the baseball. Like Jacob Wilson, he said, just
Speaker 4: hit the baseball and get them based that way. I
Speaker 4: don't care about any of the stat about pitches for
Speaker 4: player parents. I don't care about any of that stuff.
Speaker 4: I want my guys to know that if Basie's something,
Speaker 4: I want them a swing. And by the way, last
Speaker 4: night he last night three or noo Yama, Malta throws
Speaker 4: a lot of short He goes, you think I'm gonna
Speaker 4: let somebody take a three year old fastball?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 4: Down in the middle of Yamamota, no green lights, swing
Speaker 4: the bat. Is that a philosophical change because we all
Speaker 4: know about moneyball, Billy Bean all that take pitches walk.
Speaker 4: Is that a change in direction with the way the
Speaker 4: A's played baseball now somehow? Yes, David Forrest is a
Speaker 4: really good baseball man. And even though he's part of
Speaker 4: the Billy Bean tree, I would say, but he's always
Speaker 4: had a good feel for players and even the coaches,
Speaker 4: all former players, and he's like, I want my guys
Speaker 4: to relate. Every word that comes out of their mouths
Speaker 4: is because they experienced it, they lived it, they failed,
Speaker 4: and I want my guys to know that they're gonna
Speaker 4: fail sometimes, but the guys coaching them also failed. So
Speaker 4: to me, the communication becomes a little bit better, especially
Speaker 4: with the young teams. And he's pointing out to every
Speaker 4: single position he goes twenty three, twenty six, twenty four,
Speaker 4: twenty and I'm like, man, you know you're team quite well?
Speaker 2: He does.
Speaker 4: He loves taking on that identity being scrappy and gritty.
Speaker 4: No matter where the A's have been, whether it's Oakland, Sacramento,
Speaker 4: They've always been a gritty type of franchise and Conse
Speaker 4: seems to really embrace that.
Speaker 1: They embrace that.
Speaker 4: I think the players also have told me that it's
Speaker 4: a lot easier to play the game that way because
Speaker 4: nobody saying, hey, by the way, we brought you here
Speaker 4: because we want you to turn on two and zero
Speaker 4: and drive them ball out of the ballpark. It's like, no,
Speaker 4: put your best swing out there and just become the
Speaker 4: best player you can become. And I think guys can
Speaker 4: relate to that. Instead of be showing them a sheet
Speaker 4: and a sprite chart and saying this is what we
Speaker 4: think you can become, it's more like, whatever you can become,
Speaker 4: we're gonna get out of you somehow. And I think
Speaker 4: it starts that way, all right, Jose Before cal State Fullerton,
Speaker 4: Mark Cotsey grew up in the shadow of Dodger Stadium
Speaker 4: in Santa Fe Springs and Pico rivera great story, the
Speaker 4: father of motorcycle cop LAPD and they're just a great
Speaker 4: family that has a great grip on community too, no doubt.
Speaker 4: Thanks a lot for sharing all that, Jose will check
Speaker 4: back in with you and Tim Neverett before first pitch

Speaker 4: and A's Dalton Rushing making his first major league start.

Speaker 3: And now what will likely be vast fielding insults from
Speaker 3: a Dodger player.
Speaker 1: It's an engagement of endearment.
Speaker 3: This is high and tight.
Speaker 4: We're on right now by the athletics manager and certainly
Speaker 4: a legend here and other in California. Him and Phil
Speaker 4: Nevin really put cal State Fullerton back on the map
Speaker 4: in the mid nineties, and he was a Golden Spikes
Speaker 4: Award winner, And he was not only a great center fielder,
Speaker 4: a great hitter at cal State Fullerton, but also did
Speaker 4: some pitching of his own. He was their closer on
Speaker 4: the way to the College World Series. And that is
Speaker 4: the one and only Mark Cottzey. Mark, thanks a lot
Speaker 4: for the time.
Speaker 7: Appreciate it, No problem, David. That's a that's a very
Speaker 7: kind and elaborate introduction right there. I appreciate it.
Speaker 4: Hey, you deserve it. I mean, I know it feels
Speaker 4: like a long time ago when you wake up in
Speaker 4: the morning, But does it feel do you feel the
Speaker 4: same as you did back then?
Speaker 7: No, not at all. Actually, yeah, it's always it's always
Speaker 7: nice to talk about the glory days, right and feeling
Speaker 7: like we're young again and you know, creating those memories
Speaker 7: or reliving those memories of our youth.
Speaker 4: What is it about guys that go to cal State
Speaker 4: Fullerton because yourself, Phil Nevin, Tim Wallack, Justin Turner, just
Speaker 4: to name a few, not only just played the game
Speaker 4: at a high level, but also think the game at
Speaker 4: a high level.
Speaker 7: Well, you know, I think it comes from our mentor
Speaker 7: and that was our head coach, Augi Gurrito. You know,
Speaker 7: I think if you ask every player that got the
Speaker 7: opportunity to play for Aggie or be around Augi. Justin
Speaker 7: Turner was my bat boy for Mike Calsa Fullerton nineteen
Speaker 7: ninety five teams, So you know, he was remarkable in
Speaker 7: the way he taught the game and life lessons through
Speaker 7: the game and how much more you can learn from
Speaker 7: failure than success. And you know, you want to say
Speaker 7: he's semi philosopher, but an incredible baseball coach.
Speaker 4: How much of Aggie Garrito is in Mark Tottsey the manager, Now.
Speaker 7: I'd say there's quite a bit. The value of relationships
Speaker 7: really was something that we talked a lot about, you know,
Speaker 7: and not just because of the game of baseball, but
Speaker 7: in life, right and that the the relationships that you
Speaker 7: can build and you know the value of that relationship.
Speaker 7: You can extract more from players when you know who
Speaker 7: they are, when you have that personal connection and that
Speaker 7: we build that trust with them. And I think that's
Speaker 7: key for me in my role right now as a
Speaker 7: manager here with this young ball club.
Speaker 4: Obviously it's a testament to who you are because you're young,
Speaker 4: but you have a lot of talent, and it seems like,
Speaker 4: you know, they're not shying away from any challenge.
Speaker 7: No, they're not. And I think this ball club it
Speaker 7: started last year towards the end of the year. We
Speaker 7: played really good baseball in the second half, so they
Speaker 7: built some confidence as young players. And the mentality that
Speaker 7: we've always taken. You know, the word grit. We use
Speaker 7: that word a lot. You know, we're an Oakland Athletic
Speaker 7: baseball team. Now we're the A's, but you know, for
Speaker 7: the past fifty two years, that was that mentality when
Speaker 7: you showed up at the coliseum, the legendary A's teams
Speaker 7: of the late early seventies and in the late eighties,
Speaker 7: and you know that that characteristic of man. These guys
Speaker 7: just play the game hard and then rind out every
Speaker 7: out that sounds like the way you played it is.
Speaker 7: You know, I got every ounce of talent out of
Speaker 7: this body, I'd say, you know, for my career and
Speaker 7: being blessed to be able to do it for seventeen
Speaker 7: years and now be in the game as a teacher
Speaker 7: post career, a total of twenty eight years in the
Speaker 7: big leagues, I feel like I've never worked a day
Speaker 7: in my life, no doubt.
Speaker 4: Mark Cootsey is our guest. He's the athletics manager doing
Speaker 4: a great job no matter where they play or what
Speaker 4: city they're in. Your career spans so many generations and
Speaker 4: even overlapped with Clayton Kershaw. You finished playing around twenty thirteen,
Speaker 4: he started in eight. What do you remember and what
Speaker 4: stands out to you still to this day about Kershaw?
Speaker 7: You talk about an ultra competitor. That man is the
Speaker 7: epitome of a competitor. And you know, like you said,
Speaker 7: I'm really impressed that he's still going, that he's still
Speaker 7: able to go compete at that level. There's a justin
Speaker 7: Verlander's another comp another guy that has been around since
Speaker 7: two thousand and six.
Speaker 10: You know.
Speaker 7: So it's a testament to their work ethic and their drive. Really,
Speaker 7: and I mean for me, you know, Clayton is on
Speaker 7: his way to a Hall of Fame career.
Speaker 4: Is it amazing to you that he still wants to pitch?
Speaker 7: No, because I think that's in him. I think you
Speaker 7: saw that as a young, you know, player coming up.
Speaker 7: He's a student of the game. You know, he loves baseball.
Speaker 7: And when you have those combinations, you have that two
Speaker 7: combinations for yourself. You're gonna stay in as long as
Speaker 7: you can.
Speaker 4: All right, Markott say, I got two cal State fullertin
Speaker 4: questions for you before I let you go. Number One,
Speaker 4: Pepe's Breakfast burritos as legendary as Nevin and Kotse in Fullerton.
Speaker 4: How often when you come to so Cal do you
Speaker 4: hit up Peppe? Still?
Speaker 7: If I had time, I would be there right now.
Speaker 7: But yeah, Pepez. I grew up next to the Pepez
Speaker 7: that was right there in Pica Rivera, so you know
Speaker 7: that was my home. I grew up in Santa Fe
Speaker 7: spring My parents still live there after fifty four years,
Speaker 7: and you know it's it's a great city. I love
Speaker 7: coming back here. Dodger James had a special place in
Speaker 7: my heart.
Speaker 4: How often did you come to Dodger games growing up
Speaker 4: in Santa Fe Springs?
Speaker 7: Whenever my dad was able to get some comp ticks
Speaker 7: up in the Orange Reserve way up top?
Speaker 4: Yeah, all right, Last one for you, this might be
Speaker 4: the toughest question. Name your Mount Rushmore of cal State
Speaker 4: Fuller ten players, AUGI Gurrito separate category. Do you have
Speaker 4: a Mount Rushmore?
Speaker 7: I'll put JT Justin Turner he's a legend. Now he's
Speaker 7: taking over for us. The career that he's had pretty remarkable.
Speaker 9: You know.
Speaker 7: He started out with the Mets and wasn't an everyday player,
Speaker 7: changed his swing and now he's still impacting games. I
Speaker 7: know he's just he had a walk off, you know,
Speaker 7: just the other day with the Cubs and could be
Speaker 7: more proud of JT.
Speaker 4: Your beard's not as good as JT's.
Speaker 7: No, it doesn't grow as long, and it's definitely a
Speaker 7: lot more white.
Speaker 4: Mark, Thanks a lot for the time. Great to share
Speaker 4: you with Dodger fans.

Speaker 3: This is Marongo Casino Dodgers on deck on your home
Speaker 3: for the Blue all season long law.
Speaker 6: It's the Dodgers and the Athletics. Matt Sour on the
Speaker 6: mount with the boys in Blue play at home. It's
Speaker 6: important they have the right plan to protect their house
Speaker 6: at the ravine. Same applies to your home. Always have
Speaker 6: a plan and follow fire safety tips. For example, use
Speaker 6: or install ignition resistant materials around your home. Use fire
Speaker 6: resistant materials when building a deck. Replaced fence with ember
Speaker 6: and flame resistant fence. Use noncombustible fencing materials for the
Speaker 6: portion that connects to your house. For more about these
Speaker 6: tips and to find others, visit fire dot CA dot gov.
Speaker 6: All right, so before first pitch, le's head back out
Speaker 6: to the booth. Tim Nevertjose Mode.
Speaker 4: Guys, Tim, thank you very much.
Speaker 5: The Dodgers and the A's Game three of this three
Speaker 5: game set, Dodgers trying to take this series. They have
Speaker 5: major League Baseball's best home record at sixteen and four,
Speaker 5: and they will be facing Oswaldo Bido Bidoux, the right
Speaker 5: hander two and three, making his ninth start. He has
Speaker 5: yet to get into the sixth thenning this year, he's
Speaker 5: pitched five to full on a handful of occasions, but
Speaker 5: not gotting into the sixth. He has pitched much better
Speaker 5: on the road than he has at home.
Speaker 4: Bobides a very interesting case because he does have the
Speaker 4: good arm. He's a guy that averages ninety four in
Speaker 4: the fastball, but the founfal has been slugged at five
Speaker 4: nine and beyond that, he throws about fifty two percent
Speaker 4: of the pitches away. And I'm looking at those numbers
Speaker 4: and knowing how well the Dodgers do cover the outer half,
Speaker 4: and he's had trouble in the last couple of starts.
Speaker 4: Seven earn runs last two starts, including three home runs
Speaker 4: and ten one third. If be DoPT fastball sinker, he's
Speaker 4: got the slider. Dodgers need to go out there and
Speaker 4: just do the same thing they did yesterday and force
Speaker 4: him into the zone because he could overthrow sometimes get
Speaker 4: a little bit wild, so you've got to really close
Speaker 4: it down. Make sure if he gets wild, you don't
Speaker 4: help him out.
Speaker 5: And for the Dodgers, Matt Sower gets the start in
Speaker 5: a bullpen game. Justin Robleski called up today JP firehis
Speaker 5: an optioned and Robuski more than likely we'll see some
Speaker 5: activity in the game here tonight Dodgers and the A's
Speaker 5: coming up.
Speaker 6: Tim hope it's sweet and sour tonight for the Dodgers
Speaker 6: with Matt Sour on the mound and the Dodgers hopeing
Speaker 6: it's a sweet night at the play it offensively and
Speaker 6: they can get this series, win the rubber game of
Speaker 6: this three game set. Dodgers and Athletics First Bitches. Next
Speaker 6: on show, Heyo Tani Bobblehead Night and the debut of
