Speaker 1: And now your host for Morongo Casino Dodgers on Tech
Speaker 1: tam Case.
Speaker 2: Hi everybody, and welcome in to Morongo Casino Dodgers on
Speaker 2: Deck on this hot Saturday afternoon here in Southern California.
Speaker 2: Hopefully you are staying cool, Hi Drayton, enjoy yourself on
Speaker 2: this weekend as you Los Angeles Dodgers. So they need
Speaker 2: to turn things around. Sixty three and forty seven on
Speaker 2: the season, first place atop the NL West with the
Speaker 2: four game lead in the division. This road trip, though,
Speaker 2: hasn't gone exactly as planned. When they started in Houston,
Speaker 2: they dropped two of three. When they went to San Diego,
Speaker 2: they dropped both games to the Padres, and last night
Speaker 2: they fell to the A's. And this series opener in
Speaker 2: Oakland and tonight, they look to get back on track
Speaker 2: with a fresh face, Jack Flaherty, acquired at the deadline
Speaker 2: back home here in Southern California, pitching for his favorite
Speaker 2: team growing up, the Dodgers. He'll take the mound tonight
Speaker 2: from the Oakland Coliseum, first pitch for six oh seven.
Speaker 2: Between then and now, we got a lot to get
Speaker 2: to here on Marongo Casino Dodgers on Deck, We'll preview
Speaker 2: this pitching matchup, David Vasse will go one on one
Speaker 2: with Blake Trying. In shortly, we'll hear from Kirsten Watson,
Speaker 2: who was live on the field there at the Coliseum
Speaker 2: in Oakland. In just a few minutes, we'll head out
Speaker 2: to the GALPA Motors broadcast booth and here from Rick
Speaker 2: Monday and Tim nevertts Well.
Speaker 1: Last night in.
Speaker 2: Oakland, things started good for the Dodgers before Stone got
Speaker 2: roughed up and the Dodgers didn't have enough to come back.
Speaker 3: Gavin Stone got to start.
Speaker 2: The young right hander had a great season so far,
Speaker 2: but since the beginning of July he started a level
Speaker 2: out of it last night. Four innings, five runs, eight hits,
Speaker 2: including two home runs. He's truck out five along the way.
Speaker 2: The Dodgers offense, though, gave Gavin Stone some early run support.
Speaker 4: Two down and the pitch Fromestes to Hernandez swung on well,
Speaker 4: hit to left, going back as Miguel Andohr he's at
Speaker 4: the track. He looks up and has gone Hondre on
Speaker 4: a two runs shot for Taioscar Hernandez his twenty third
Speaker 4: and the Dodgers jump on the board.
Speaker 5: First hit there's two to nothing.
Speaker 2: Twenty third home run of the season for tay Oscar,
Speaker 2: and the Dodgers jumped on Joey Estas early, grabbing a
Speaker 2: two to nothing lead. However, after that ta Oscar a
Speaker 2: home run, the Dodgers offense went to sleep. Vesta has
Speaker 2: retired fifteen straight. Meanwhile, Gavin Stone gave a pa pair
Speaker 2: of solo home runs in the fourth that tied the
Speaker 2: game at two. In the fifth, Gavin Stone give up
Speaker 2: a lead off walk, then an RBI triple followed by
Speaker 2: an RBI double, and just like that, the Dodgers were
Speaker 2: down four to two, and that was it for Gavin Stone.
Speaker 2: Joe Kelly proceeded to come in and serve up a
Speaker 2: two run home run to the.
Speaker 3: First Battery faces.
Speaker 2: The A's, with four runs in the fourth inning, took
Speaker 2: a six to two lead. The Dodgers offense was able
Speaker 2: to get some runners on base in the sixth and
Speaker 2: the seventh and in the eighth, but nothing across the plates.
Speaker 2: It remained six to two until the top of the ninth.
Speaker 2: Key k Hernandez a one out single. Two batters later,
Speaker 2: James Autman a two out walk that brought up show.
Speaker 4: Hey Ferguson ready his pitch on the way swing on
Speaker 4: an hammer.
Speaker 5: Deep right, failed way back in down home run for.
Speaker 1: Shure hell Tony.
Speaker 4: It's thirty third of the season.
Speaker 1: It's a one run ball game, six to five.
Speaker 3: Home run number thirty three for show Hey.
Speaker 2: That broken oh for fifteen Dodgers slump for show Hey.
Speaker 2: Dodgers down six to five, they were back in it. Unfortunately,
Speaker 2: that's as close as they would get, as the Eighties
Speaker 2: hang on and win at six to five, as does
Speaker 2: the wins.
Speaker 3: Gavin Stone gets the loss.
Speaker 2: He's now zero in three with a seven to fifteen
Speaker 2: ERRA in his last five starts.
Speaker 3: The Dodgers are struggling on this roach.
Speaker 2: If they're now one in five, they're hitting collectively one
Speaker 2: to eighty seven, they're scoring about three and a half
Speaker 2: runs per game, and they have struck out seventy seven
Speaker 2: times in six games. They're leading the division down to
Speaker 2: just four. Tonight, though a new day and a new
Speaker 2: arm on the mound. Jack flairt he acquired at the
Speaker 2: trade down line from Detroit. He gets to start his
Speaker 2: first in the Dodger uniform. First pitch from Oakland Coliseum
Speaker 2: is coming up at six zero seven and with more.
Speaker 2: We head up to the Gallpin Motors broadcast booth as
Speaker 2: we say hello, good afternoon Monday, and Tim never guys, thanks.
Speaker 4: To them back of the Oakland Coliseum beautiful night, blue
Speaker 4: skies as we get set for Dodger Baseball against the
Speaker 4: Oakland Athletics and the Dodgers trying to even this series
Speaker 4: up at a game of peace. Disappointing start to the
Speaker 4: series as the A's pulled out a six to five
Speaker 4: win last night. Shoey O'towny with a late three run
Speaker 4: home run with two outs in the top of the
Speaker 4: ninth pinning, but it just wasn't enough as the A's
Speaker 4: held on for that six to five victory. Dodgers begin
Speaker 4: the day four up on the Arizona Diamondbacks and they'll
Speaker 4: send newly acquired Jack Flaherty to the mod Flarity has
Speaker 4: chosen to wear the number is zero for the Dodgers,
Speaker 4: so he will be out there tonight making his Dodger debut.
Speaker 4: The established Major league veterans seven and five on the
Speaker 4: year with Detroit with an ERA under three. He will
Speaker 4: oppose Mitch Spence, a right hander for Oakland. He's won
Speaker 4: back to back starts he is seven and six overall
Speaker 4: with a four to four to seven ere a pretty
Speaker 4: similar looking line up tonight Rick as last night, with
Speaker 4: the exception Kevin Kiermeier does not start, and I'm ed
Speaker 4: Rosario also on the bench.
Speaker 6: Well where do we begin? And I think the first
Speaker 6: thing you have to realize the Dodgers, this has not
Speaker 6: been an enjoyable trip at all. They're one in five.
Speaker 6: Couple of things really have to happen. They have to
Speaker 6: hit better and pitch better. The defense has been okay,
Speaker 6: but from an offensive standpoint, they've been outscored. They've been
Speaker 6: out hit with runners in scoring position. It's really a
Speaker 6: landslide and the Dodgers to the negative sign. And then
Speaker 6: you look at the pitching. The Dodgers need some extension
Speaker 6: as far as the number of innings, and hopefully they
Speaker 6: get that from Jack Flaherty, who can certainly fill the
Speaker 6: bill on that end of it. Because the starting pitching,
Speaker 6: if you go back really to the first of July,
Speaker 6: it worked only five innings more than the bullpen. So
Speaker 6: the bullpen has had a very very heavy load recently.
Speaker 4: And for the oaklan a as you go back to
Speaker 4: the beginning of July, they're starting pitching. Actually, since the
Speaker 4: All Star break is nine and three, they're getting some
Speaker 4: decent starting pitching where they hadn't in the first half of.
Speaker 6: The Sex and they're getting it done a lot of
Speaker 6: different ways. So if the A's don't take them lightly,
Speaker 6: you know, they may be last place in America League
Speaker 6: Western Division, twelve games behind Houston and Seattle, who tied
Speaker 6: at the top. But for the A's they won seven
Speaker 6: of ten. Ten of the last fourteen have also been
Speaker 6: the win column, and all you have to do is
Speaker 6: look at how they're really playing and enjoying themselves on
Speaker 6: the field for a very good reason. They're playing good
Speaker 6: baseball right now.
Speaker 4: Since July one, the Dodgers eleven and fourteen, as you
Speaker 4: mentioned one on five on the trip, they're two and
Speaker 4: six in their last eight. So instead of a June swoon,
Speaker 4: it's really been the July swoon starting into August. So
Speaker 4: tonight behind Flairdy, this is really a game the Dodgers have.
Speaker 6: To win and winning they need to do it. They've
Speaker 6: lost six to the last ten. Meanwhile, you look at Arizona.
Speaker 6: Arizona now is move into second place in the Western
Speaker 6: Division four games. They've won eight of ten San Diego
Speaker 6: now four and a half back. They've also won eight
Speaker 6: of their last ten ball games. So again pitching and hitting,
Speaker 6: and they need more timely hitting in certain areas of
Speaker 6: the ballgame because they left too many runners on base
Speaker 6: when they've been able to get runners on base. Because
Speaker 6: again on this road trip, they have struck out seventy
Speaker 6: seven times. Do some math for you. That's twenty five
Speaker 6: and two thirds innings of nothing, no productivity.
Speaker 4: Pitch here and catcher playing catch.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and that's got to change, and it is going
Speaker 6: to change. And I think one of the problems you
Speaker 6: run into is a ball club individually, if you try
Speaker 6: and take the load upon your own shoulders. Now one
Speaker 6: guy can do it. Dave Roberts saluted to that last night.
Speaker 6: Is Look, you can't expect show Hey Otani to pull
Speaker 6: the wagon all the time. Other guys have to contribute
Speaker 6: as well. I think it's gonna happen very soon.
Speaker 4: Jack Clarity against Mitch Spence Game two Dodgers and as
Speaker 4: Dodgers trying to even up the series, Aaron Oakland tim
Speaker 4: all right, as we.
Speaker 2: Caut you down to first pitch, Dodger fans get that

Speaker 2: Dodgers and A's on this Saturday afternoon, arly evening, Jack Flerny,

Speaker 2: win dot Com.
Speaker 3: That's it, O e n dot Com.
Speaker 1: This is Kirston's Corner with Kirston Watson.
Speaker 2: Hey, Kirston now joins us from the field at the
Speaker 2: Oakland Coliseum, Day two of this three game weekend series
Speaker 2: Dodgers and Eights. Dodgers desperately need to get a win
Speaker 2: on this road trip and they give the ball to
Speaker 2: one of the new faces in this rotation, Jack Flaherty.
Speaker 7: Yeah, and the hope is like he can be the
Speaker 7: stopper for this team. This is a guy who's having
Speaker 7: a really strong season and a guy who's getting really
Speaker 7: top acquisition for the trade. That's so he comes in.
Speaker 7: He not only just brings a little bit of spark,
Speaker 7: but I actually love what he said the other day
Speaker 7: when he was speaking to the media in San Diego.
Speaker 7: He does also bring an edge, So hopefully he can
Speaker 7: set the tone and get things going early, be effective,
Speaker 7: hopefully get a little deeper into the game, and give
Speaker 7: the team the support they need. Obviously, we've been seeing
Speaker 7: the last two games just from the starting rotation not
Speaker 7: the best of outings, so Bulton usage is a little
Speaker 7: bit high. Dave Roberts does feel that they're in a
Speaker 7: good spot still, but the hope is that Jack can
Speaker 7: set the tone. Be that hometown kid. I have to
Speaker 7: imagine that he's going to be really special for him.
Speaker 7: Wearing Dodger blue RepresentUs organization, one that he grew up
Speaker 7: cheering for, so it's going to be an unforgettable day
Speaker 7: for him no matter what. But hopefully he can kind
Speaker 7: of put the ball on it with big times in.
Speaker 2: Hopefully he gives them the outing they need and the
Speaker 2: Dodgers meanwhile offensively tweaking things up a little bit.
Speaker 3: The line up.
Speaker 7: Yeah, So the Dave Roberts switched pay Oscar Hernandez and
Speaker 7: Will Smith. And it's not like a big twitch or anything,
Speaker 7: but really with Will Smith, he's been struggling. He's been
Speaker 7: transparent about that, trying to work through a few things
Speaker 7: to get going, and so it just made more sense
Speaker 7: that someone can get that. Just if someone's going to
Speaker 7: have another at that, it makes more sense for it
Speaker 7: to be payoffs over Will Smith at the moment, as
Speaker 7: Chayoscar we call last night with the home run, he's
Speaker 7: been pretty consistent, especially with the long ball as of late.
Speaker 7: So just hopefully it's another way to kind of get
Speaker 7: this offense going, because you can feel it late in
Speaker 7: the game. It just felt like, okay, yeah, the two
Speaker 7: runs early in that first inning, and then it's really quiet,
Speaker 7: and then finally, you know, Shohey comes up with that moment,
Speaker 7: keeps the home run. All right, they're back in it,
Speaker 7: but obviously they lost by that one run. So hopefully
Speaker 7: it just puts the team in a little bit of
Speaker 7: a different position where they can just add multiple runs
Speaker 7: on the board really throughout the entirety of the game.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no doubt.
Speaker 2: They got to score in bunches, not just the beginning
Speaker 2: of the game and the end of the game.
Speaker 3: Cares. We appreciate it. We will check in with you
Speaker 3: after this game.

Speaker 2: That's Cars with a K still to come here on
Speaker 2: Dodgers on Deck will dive deeper into this pitching matchup.
Speaker 2: David Vesse goes high and tight. We'll get you with
Speaker 2: injury report. But up next we'll also hear from the
Speaker 2: manager Dave Roberts Dodgers as first pitch is.
Speaker 3: Six oh seven.
Speaker 2: I'm Tim Kates's Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 1: This is Marongo Casino Dodgers Hunt on your home for
Speaker 1: LA Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 2: Marongo Casino Dodgers on Deck continues on this Saturday night
Speaker 2: a Marongo Casino resort and spat a Grand Slam four
Speaker 2: Good Times Dodgers in Oakland to take on the a's
Speaker 2: first pitch coming up at six oh seven.
Speaker 1: It's the LA Dodgers Injury.
Speaker 2: Report presented by UCLA Healthy, official medical partner of the
Speaker 2: Los Angeles Dodgers. Chris Taylor on the I, L McGill,
Speaker 2: Rojas on the IL, Mookie Bets on the IEL but
Speaker 2: getting closer you oce w Yabbamoto is throwing off Blackground
Speaker 2: and has thrown a bullpen session, so that is good news.
Speaker 2: Walker Bueler on the IEL. Going to make another minor
Speaker 2: league rehabit assignment coming up in a couple of days.
Speaker 2: Michael Grove looks like the closest of the Dodger players
Speaker 2: that are on the IEL to return that could be
Speaker 2: sooner rather than later, followed by Max Munsey and Ryan
Speaker 2: Brasier as well as Bruce dark ground role. So the
Speaker 2: Dodgers starting to get healthy here as we flip the
Speaker 2: calendar to august 's head back up to Oakland and
Speaker 2: check out the Dodgers get burned.
Speaker 1: Anything else?
Speaker 3: The questions for Dave Dave?
Speaker 1: Can you just describe Dave? Can you talk about the
Speaker 1: pressure in the dugouts with Dave.
Speaker 8: Roberts, Well, it's it's exciting. He hasn't pitched in ten days,
Speaker 8: so I know he's eager to get back out there
Speaker 8: and make a contribution. I think there's going to be
Speaker 8: some intensity, some I think he's going to raise the
Speaker 8: level of energy for our ball club. I think that's great,
Speaker 8: and it's going to be good stuff. It's going to
Speaker 8: be good fastball, good slider and change up in there,
Speaker 8: and he's going to go out there and compete. So
Speaker 8: I feel like we're going to feed off of what
Speaker 8: he brings to us tonight.
Speaker 9: There's obviously familiarity, whether it's been like for the Cardinals
Speaker 9: facing the Dodgers, things like that, being a hometown kid.
Speaker 9: But what are you learning from him just with this
Speaker 9: outing and what are you kind of looking to see
Speaker 9: in regard to that side of kind of understanding managing him.
Speaker 8: I think you know any player as I've been traded myself,
Speaker 8: and you want to be able to contribute. And so
Speaker 8: he's been here for a handful of days and he's
Speaker 8: getting the lay of the land through a side. But
Speaker 8: I think now's the final piece he's excited to be
Speaker 8: a Dodger, is to be able to kind of participate
Speaker 8: with his new teammates and so then he can really
Speaker 8: feel like he's a part of things. So I think
Speaker 8: he's just kind of been holding as long as he
Speaker 8: could and there's a lot of energy and excite man.
Speaker 8: That's uh. Waiting to be unleashed tonight.
Speaker 2: All right, talking about Jack Flerity, he will be wearing
Speaker 2: number zero for the Dodgers tonight when he's up on
Speaker 2: the mound making his Dodgers debut. Dave Roberts down the dugout.
Speaker 2: Brought to you by Service Titan. Dave Roberts is a
Speaker 2: Titan in his own right. Yeah, he's got a plan
Speaker 2: before his team hits the field. You need one for
Speaker 2: your growing contracting business too.
Speaker 3: Let's Service tight help you implement it. Learn more at
Speaker 3: Service Titan dot com.
Speaker 2: When we continue here on Dodgers on Deck, we will
Speaker 2: check in with David Vesse as we walk you up
Speaker 2: the first pitch Dodgers NA is from the Coliseum in Opland.
Speaker 2: I'm Tim Kays's Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 1: This is Marongo Casino, Dodgers on Deck on your home
Speaker 1: for the blue all season.
Speaker 2: Law Dodgers and as from the Coliseum and all claim
Speaker 2: Jack Flerity making his Dodgers debut.
Speaker 3: First pitch coming up a six O seven.
Speaker 2: The umpiring crew for tonight's game brought to you by
Speaker 2: Fred Loyer Insurance, celebrating fifty years of providing reliable and
Speaker 2: affordable car insurance for you and your family.
Speaker 1: Joining Tim Kats on Dodgers on Deck.
Speaker 5: I accept everybody for who they are.
Speaker 1: This is Dodger insider David Basse.
Speaker 3: All right, DV.
Speaker 2: The Dodgers made some trades at the deadline, some new faces,
Speaker 2: but also getting players back from injury, and it kind
Speaker 2: of feels like they're gonna start trickling in more and
Speaker 2: more here in the month of August. How hopeful are
Speaker 2: they they're gonna start getting these guys back sooner rather
Speaker 2: than later.
Speaker 5: Well, not only what Dave Roberts said to the media
Speaker 5: earlier today that you heard, but also talking to Andrew Friedman,
Speaker 5: who arrived here in Oakland this afternoon. He is very
Speaker 5: optimistic he's going to get these players back, but he
Speaker 5: did use a disclaimer to say, I might be stupid
Speaker 5: for thinking that way because it hasn't come together the
Speaker 5: way they envisioned it, with all these different injuries and
Speaker 5: obviously the unfortunate absence of Freddie Freeman. But I heard
Speaker 5: Dave Roberts mention it. Mookie Betts is expected back on
Speaker 5: the Dodgers next road trip that will take them from
Speaker 5: Milwaukee to Saint Louis Freddie Freeman possibly will be back
Speaker 5: when the Dodgers return home on Monday against the Phillies.
Speaker 5: So slowly but surely they're starting to get their guys back,
Speaker 5: and at my understanding talking to Andrew Friedman, Miguel Rojas
Speaker 5: is on the right track back. So they are going
Speaker 5: to look more like the lineup they envisioned within the
Speaker 5: next ten to fourteen days, not only the Dodgers that
Speaker 5: were already on the roster, but also Tommy Edmund. Andrew
Speaker 5: Freeman again told me how long he has won it
Speaker 5: both show Hey Otani and Tommy Edmond on the Dodgers.
Speaker 3: And they got them both.
Speaker 2: Now, Danna's turn by four and if there's one thing
Speaker 2: we like, it's choices. Find yours with the F one
Speaker 2: fifty gas hybrid are all electric tough. This mark can
Speaker 2: only be called f one fifty. Jack Flaherty Day for
Speaker 2: the Dodgers DV makes his Dodger debut to nine.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 5: And the one thing that I loved about Jack Flaherty,
Speaker 5: who joined us on the pregame show in San Diego,
Speaker 5: was he said, I bring edge and I'm a firm believer.
Speaker 5: The Dodgers need more of that. I know. That's not
Speaker 5: something you see on the spreadsheet or in the cards
Speaker 5: that they use to make decisions. But I've said this
Speaker 5: a few times, Tim, the Dodgers are a very nice team.
Speaker 5: They need a little bit more edge. They need a
Speaker 5: little bit they need to be put in more uncomfortable
Speaker 5: positions as players and not just wait for that cavalry
Speaker 5: to arrive in the next couple of weeks. So Jack
Speaker 5: Flaherty brings that same type of edge to the mound
Speaker 5: in a different way that Tyler Glass now brings. And
Speaker 5: also Clayton Kershaw has brought his entire Hall of Fame career.
Speaker 2: A little bit more fire in that belly. David appreciate it.
Speaker 2: We'll be back with you in just a couple of minutes.

Speaker 6: as the feelings because Flarity grew up as a Dodger fan.
Speaker 6: Little Ricky grew up as a Dodger fan growing up
Speaker 6: in Santa Monica. And all I can tell you is
Speaker 6: when I finally got worried that I have been traded
Speaker 6: at the Dodgers. There are some things that had to
Speaker 6: be worked out because the Cubs messed up the deal
Speaker 6: to begin with. I was a ten and five player
Speaker 6: and they had not asked my approval to make the trade,
Speaker 6: even though obviously I was going to give my approval.
Speaker 5: But that is it is.
Speaker 6: I know what it was like to go home and
Speaker 6: finally play, because I did play a game at Dodger
Speaker 6: Stadium just down of High school with the Dodger rookie
Speaker 6: team the time of the SWORDA was managing and it
Speaker 6: was like a cathedral of baseball, if you will. So
Speaker 6: Jack is not making his Dodger debut at Dodger Stadium,
Speaker 6: but once he gets there, it's going to be a
Speaker 6: whole different level. Oh he's been there before, but not
Speaker 6: with the Dodger uniform on. He's not pitched before with
Speaker 6: the Dodger uniform on. And I would imagine from a
Speaker 6: family standpoint, this is quite a knife for him, indeed.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and I would imagine Rick as a new player
Speaker 5: no matter where there it is, it might be easier
Speaker 5: to make your debut with your new team away from
Speaker 5: the home stadium.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it might be because you can go separation of
Speaker 6: church estate if you will. You're finding all kinds of emotions,
Speaker 6: I mean, your learnings. You knew some of the guys
Speaker 6: to begin with, not all of the guys that are
Speaker 6: now teammates, and you're going to be spending a great
Speaker 6: deal of hours and days and now a few months
Speaker 6: and hopefully postseason play. So yeah, you've broaden your horizons,
Speaker 6: there's no question about it. Now to be able to
Speaker 6: channel it a little bit more, and with Flarity coming
Speaker 6: over from the American League, he's a little bit more
Speaker 6: familiar with the Oakland A's as far as the hitters.
Speaker 5: And the Dodgers need a good start from Jack Flair.
Speaker 6: Well, the Dodgers not only need a good start from
Speaker 6: Jack Flaherity. The Dodgers need a bullpen that's going to
Speaker 6: be throwing much better. You need some offense that's doing
Speaker 6: a better job. Because this has not been a very
Speaker 6: good road trip. And you can underline that with as
Speaker 6: many exclamation marks as you want. They're one in five.
Speaker 6: Here are the numbers. They've been outscored thirty four to
Speaker 6: twenty three. They've been out hit fifty nine into thirty seven.
Speaker 6: They have struck out seventy seven times in those six games.
Speaker 6: Let me tell you break down on the seventy seven strikeouts.
Speaker 6: That's twenty five and two thirds innings of nothing.
Speaker 5: This goes back to you pointing it out in Houston,
Speaker 5: a new franchise record for the most strikeouts in a
Speaker 5: three game series. And it has not slowed down on
Speaker 5: this road trip.
Speaker 6: No, I'm beginning to see some signs of it breaking out,
Speaker 6: but it has to go top to bottom.
Speaker 8: You know.
Speaker 6: It's like Dave Roberts is saying in the postgame show,
Speaker 6: you show, hey, O, Tony can't do it all. He
Speaker 6: came up with a big home run last night. He
Speaker 6: had been struggling in the previous fifteen advanced but he
Speaker 6: it's a three run home run in the ninth inning,
Speaker 6: it's a one run loss. They got close, But you
Speaker 6: can't constantly look at the guy at the top of
Speaker 6: the vater say okay, look, you got to come in
Speaker 6: and you've got to hit the two run double. You've
Speaker 6: got to hit the home run. There's some other guys
Speaker 6: in the lineup that have to pull the wagon, and
Speaker 6: right now they're not even getting that wagon to move
Speaker 6: very much.
Speaker 5: Speaking of Otani, I loved his comments after the game,
Speaker 5: which showed some leadership from him, saying I could have
Speaker 5: changed the game in my previous three or four at
Speaker 5: bats instead of just talking about his three run home run.
Speaker 5: That sounds like a guy that is accountable.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and he's done that I think quite often, maybe
Speaker 6: in different terms by saying it's not about him, it's
Speaker 6: about the team and anything that he can do to
Speaker 6: help the Dodgers get to the next stage. And they
Speaker 6: need to get to this next stage because right now
Speaker 6: they have been in a rut. They've seen well, the
Speaker 6: biggest lead that they've had of the season now dwindled
Speaker 6: down to four games now in front of the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Speaker 6: Diamondbacks by the way, have been sneaking up the ladder.
Speaker 6: They won eight of the last ten, as have the
Speaker 6: San Diego Padres. The Dodgers are going to get hot now.
Speaker 6: It's not going to just all of a sudden click
Speaker 6: of the heels and everything is fine and it's not
Speaker 6: going to be followed the yellow brick road. They're going
Speaker 6: to have to make some adjustments. And so far on
Speaker 6: this road trip there have not been too many of
Speaker 6: those that being made.
Speaker 5: Well, tonight's a good night to start that with Jack
Speaker 5: Flaherty made.
Speaker 6: What tonight is to win. Absolutely. We tell it to
Speaker 6: Dave Roberts when we get to him as off. Hey, Dave,
Speaker 6: you know what today is?
Speaker 1: No, what's that?
Speaker 6: It's a good day to go out and kick somebody's fanning.
Speaker 5: All right, Rick, we'll see if the Dodgers can do
Speaker 5: that tonight. We'll send it back to you in the studio.

Speaker 5: out here at the Oakland Coliseum with you.
Speaker 10: Thanks man. Yeah, it's good to be back. A lot
Speaker 10: of memories here.
Speaker 5: You're one of the few people that I would expect
Speaker 5: to say it's good to be back here. What's the
Speaker 5: charm of the stadium.
Speaker 10: Well, the charm of the stadium is the people.
Speaker 11: Uh think, anywhere you go in life, you can have
Speaker 11: all the greatest things, the finest things in life, and
Speaker 11: as long as I mean, if you don't have good people,
Speaker 11: and it's it's all fleeting and it's and it sucks.
Speaker 10: So like I mean, this is an old stadium. It
Speaker 10: has history to it. Yeah you can talk about how
Speaker 10: old it is and yeah it's old. But you know
Speaker 10: a lot of a lot of.
Speaker 11: Things people were talking about when we got here is
Speaker 11: like how how great the playing surface looks. I mean,
Speaker 11: look at it, It's like it's like a it's honestly
Speaker 11: like a painting in the outfield. It looks so green
Speaker 11: and it's thick and there's really I mean, they have
Speaker 11: nothing else here to worry about. It anymore of a
Speaker 11: baseball and I mean I'll take it to the grave.
Speaker 11: I think it's the thickest, best looking playing surface. But
Speaker 11: the you know, the stadium itself is old. A lot
Speaker 11: of great people, you know within the halls of this
Speaker 11: building that I got to know over the years, and
Speaker 11: some of the coaching staff is still here.
Speaker 10: So a lot of a lot of good people are
Speaker 10: good memories.
Speaker 5: Sounds like it builds character when you have this stadium,
Speaker 5: these amenities, but you have the people that care.
Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean, I don't know. I mean I think
Speaker 11: character is more of an internal process, you know. But yeah,
Speaker 11: I mean there's some there's some good teams here is
Speaker 11: you know, winning obviously makes things fun, and some of
Speaker 11: those pretty much all the talent that was here in
Speaker 11: the years that I was here about six years ago
Speaker 11: has gone on other teams now.
Speaker 1: Know.
Speaker 10: When we were all together, we were having a blast,
Speaker 10: and it.
Speaker 11: Was as a type of baseball that I've never experienced
Speaker 11: before and haven't experienced since, just like the Dodgers or
Speaker 11: something I've experienced that's like nothing I've ever experienced, because
Speaker 11: we won a World Series together. So but I mean
Speaker 11: we were when I was here, it was you know,
Speaker 11: a group of guys who were young and impressionable and
Speaker 11: had phenomenal skill sets. But you know they weren't expected
Speaker 11: to win, but they've won all the way through the
Speaker 11: miners together and you know, I got to reap the
Speaker 11: benefits of the talent on the field. I mean, the
Speaker 11: defensive play and the offensive output was pretty incredible.
Speaker 5: There's a certain level of mystique around here because obviously
Speaker 5: they made the movie Moneyball, Billy Bean all that. What
Speaker 5: is it about playing for them that seems to uncover
Speaker 5: talent like yourself and others?
Speaker 11: Oh, I think there's a belief system behind their You know,
Speaker 11: every organization will say they believe I've been fortunate to
Speaker 11: play in a couple now and you know when I
Speaker 11: came here, the mo on me was I couldn't get
Speaker 11: left these out, and they said, we think you can
Speaker 11: sol go do it and it worked out. So everybody
Speaker 11: that I think when you have a team in an
Speaker 11: organization that pulls for you, and.
Speaker 8: You have a very.
Speaker 11: Selfless mindset to just do what's best for the team,
Speaker 11: at the end of the year, things.
Speaker 10: Work out best for you and your organization.
Speaker 11: So we had a lot of selfless guys on that team,
Speaker 11: and that's probably why they outperformed.
Speaker 10: What baseball minds would say their capabilities a year or
Speaker 10: two before him.
Speaker 5: I'm talking to Blake trying in on the field at
Speaker 5: the Oakland Collissem. He's got a cup of coffee in
Speaker 5: his left hand and he's got his glove in his
Speaker 5: right hand.
Speaker 10: Picture, come on, Bob Ross.
Speaker 5: And also you have this brand new anchor man Will
Speaker 5: Ferrell type of mustache going right now to Blake trying
Speaker 5: to mustache. What is going on with the mustache she
Speaker 5: actually has? It looks good on your face.
Speaker 11: Actually, thank you for the beautiful poetry of words we
Speaker 11: put together there. Uh yeah, it's it's I know it's
Speaker 11: not an ideal statement for a lot of people. I've
Speaker 11: handled it a couple of times in my life, and
Speaker 11: you know, my my family will be away from me
Speaker 11: for a while, so I have I have the the
Speaker 11: okaytcha by by default because my wife's not here to
Speaker 11: actually grow mustache.
Speaker 10: So I'm gonna growing up.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 5: So when you kiss the kids, they don't feel the
Speaker 5: rough and gruff of that facial hair.
Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean they think it's funny. My kids think
Speaker 11: it's funny. My wife hates it so but you know
Speaker 11: it's just it's just inside jokes. We we she doesn't
Speaker 11: really care for the beard or the mustache. So when
Speaker 11: she's not around, I've I've got like full rain to
Speaker 11: let it, Let it do what I want.
Speaker 5: All right, we'll leave good feelings right there. Great to
Speaker 5: catch up with you and uh.
Speaker 10: Your favorite part of the stadium.
Speaker 5: Well, I am a raider, so I have a lot
Speaker 5: of great memories of rich Gannon here.
Speaker 10: Everybody has their falls. I'm a rich Gannon fan.
Speaker 11: I was a heartbreak to see him leave the Chiefs
Speaker 11: and then go in a Super Bowl the following year,
Speaker 11: So that was tough.
Speaker 5: Yeah, rich Gannon looked a lot better in silver and black.
Speaker 5: All let's agree to disagree on that.
Speaker 10: Sure, Sure, we won two straight. We'll figure it out.
Speaker 10: Go Katsiday.
Speaker 5: Oh boy, there he goes my guy Blake trying. And
Speaker 5: when you see him wearing number forty nine and you
Speaker 5: see a guy with a blonde mustache coming out of
Speaker 5: the Dodger bullpen, don't think twice. It is Blake Trining.
Speaker 11: Not to be confused with Evan Phillips. So I got
Speaker 11: confused with Evan Phillips yesterday with a mustache while he was.
Speaker 10: Warming up on the mountain.
Speaker 5: I was great to catch up with you and great
Speaker 5: to be with the former A Hey, thanks Dave. There

Speaker 4: Tim, thanks again. It's the Dodger debut of Jack Flaherty.
Speaker 4: A lot of folks excited to see him. He's out
Speaker 4: of Harvard Westlake High School. Remember he was drafted thirty
Speaker 4: fourth overall in twenty fourteen out of high school by
Speaker 4: the Cardinals and then most recently with the Tigers, and
Speaker 4: the Dodgers got him at the last minute there at
Speaker 4: the deadline and now makes his Dodger debut. And the
Speaker 4: Dodgers with the high hopes for Jack Flerity.
Speaker 6: A couple of things going to be watching. First of all,
Speaker 6: Flarity throws a lot of strikers, There's no question about that.
Speaker 6: Does that work in his favor or does it work
Speaker 6: maybe against him? My point being the last two years,
Speaker 6: the first pitch that he's thrown to a batter it's
Speaker 6: a four to sixteen batting average against him. Is maybe
Speaker 6: too predictable. We'll find out tonight. You think about Flarity
Speaker 6: his strikeouts, you look at the in Major League Baseball.
Speaker 6: You know he has the sixth highest strikeout percentage this
Speaker 6: year when he's on and boy, he can really be on,
Speaker 6: and when he is, he really presents some problems for hitters.
Speaker 4: So Jack Flerity against Mitch Spence. All the people in
Speaker 4: the valley rooting for Jack Flaherty tonight in his Dodger debut,
Speaker 4: and certainly the Dodgers need a jolt in this starting rotation.
Speaker 4: Flarity hopes to provide it.
Speaker 5: First pitch coming up, Tim.
Speaker 2: All right, first pitch, will we come back? It's the
Speaker 2: Dodger debut, Jack Flerity. Dodgers need to get on the
Speaker 2: board early, get some runs, get a win up at
Speaker 2: the Coliseum in Oakland.
Speaker 3: First pitch, will we come back? And enjoy it.
