Speaker 2: Now, we got a lot to get to here on
Speaker 2: Marongo Casino Dodgers on Deck, we're gonna hear from the
Speaker 2: Dodger manager Dave Roberts.
Speaker 3: We'll dive deeper into this pitching matchup.
Speaker 2: David Vassin is gonna go one on one with Walker Buehler. Yes,
Speaker 2: Walker Buehler, who had a fantastic outing last night in
Speaker 2: Game three.
Speaker 3: More on that coming up.
Speaker 2: We got your Dodgers magical moment you're otani rewind shortly,
Speaker 2: we'll check in with Kirsten Watson from Sports to net
Speaker 2: La in in just a few minutes. We will send
Speaker 2: it out to the Galpuit Motors broadcast booth with Steven
Speaker 2: Nelson and Rick Monday.
Speaker 4: Well.
Speaker 2: Last night, Walker Buehler got the start yeah one and
Speaker 2: six record during the regular season, but ever since San
Speaker 2: Diego and the zeros he put up against the Padres.
Speaker 2: He came back out last night and was fantastic. More
Speaker 2: zeros on the scoreboard from Walker Vieler. Four shutout in each,
Speaker 2: three hits, six punch outs, including striking out Francisco Lindor
Speaker 2: with two outs and the bases loaded. In the second inning,
Speaker 2: the Dodgers jumped out to the yearly two to nothing
Speaker 2: leave thanks to some miscues by the New York Mets,
Speaker 2: they led to nothing going to the six and with
Speaker 2: the Dodgers bullpen cruising, Key Key Hernandez set one.
Speaker 5: Outs, Key k has set as is Garrett another one
Speaker 5: two pitch here in the top of the six, Hernandez
Speaker 5: hits it in the air left field. Nimo back on
Speaker 5: the warning track. He's at the wall.
Speaker 6: This ball is good.
Speaker 7: Kick k Hernandez owns October a two run blast and
Speaker 7: the Dodgers doubled their lead. It's now Ford to nothing.
Speaker 2: In the sixth Key K Hernandez with the two run
Speaker 2: home run that is the top tier play of the
Speaker 2: game sponsored by Arco Quality top tier gas for less,
Speaker 2: and it was Key K's fifteenth postseason home run.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 2: Keiky Hernandez now becoming mister October here in the twenty
Speaker 2: first century as he helps the Dodgers to a four
Speaker 2: to nzing lead. The bullpen was cruising as they continued
Speaker 2: to put up zeros after walker buealer Michael Kopek, Ryan
Speaker 2: Brazier got out of a cham with the double play
Speaker 2: ball in the sixth inning.
Speaker 3: Blake Trining got the seventh in the eighth.
Speaker 2: The Dodgers really put out the Mets out of their
Speaker 2: misery with the breath of fresh air play at the
Speaker 2: game thanks to show Heo Tani who went deep. Then
Speaker 2: Max Munsey in the ninth inning really put it out
Speaker 2: of reach.
Speaker 3: With a blast of rights.
Speaker 5: Monsey gets into a ball high in the air right field.
Speaker 5: He drops the bat Max Munsey max power into the
Speaker 5: second deck. There was no doubt off the bat that
Speaker 5: Max Mounsey was leaving the yard. His third home run
Speaker 5: of the postseason, his second in as many games, make
Speaker 5: it eight nothing Dodgers.
Speaker 2: Ah breath of fresh air there for the Dodgers on
Speaker 2: Max Munsey's solo home run and eight nothing lead for
Speaker 2: the Dodgers, presented by a Tara Mechanical, the breath of
Speaker 2: fresh air.
Speaker 3: Moment of the game.
Speaker 2: Looking for reliable heating and air conditioning services here in
Speaker 2: southern California, look no farther than a Tara Mechanical.
Speaker 3: Your trusted partner.
Speaker 2: There more than just a solution, their breath of fresh
Speaker 2: air from the moment you call to the completion of
Speaker 2: your projects. A Tara Mechanical delivers friendly on his service
Speaker 2: at a fair price. Well, the Dodgers go on and
Speaker 2: win it last night, eight to no theme, three different
Speaker 2: home runs for the Dodgers, more zeros on the scoreboard
Speaker 2: from the Dodger pitchers, including Walker Bueler who went the
Speaker 2: four shutout. I means Michael Kopek gets the winning relief.
Speaker 2: Dodgers take a two to one series lead in this
Speaker 2: best of seven NLCS Game four coming up tonight. Yoshinobu
Speaker 2: Yamamoto on the mound first pitch at five o eight
Speaker 2: and with more we head out to the Galloping Motors
Speaker 2: broadcast booth as we say good afternoon, Steven Nelson and
Speaker 2: Rick Monday, guys.
Speaker 5: Thank you Tim Beckett City Field alongside Rick Monday and
Speaker 5: everybody at New York yesterday was saying, oh, Game three
Speaker 5: is going to be the coldest of the three nights
Speaker 5: here in New York. Well, coming to the ballpark tonight,
Speaker 5: I think they were wrong. Game four feels a little
Speaker 5: bit more breezy and brisk.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Whoever made that weather report evidently did.
Speaker 6: It wasn't Dallas Rings Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly. And as we're looking at it, I mean,
Speaker 4: the win last night early in the afternoon was coming
Speaker 4: in from left field. It's it's already changed a couple
Speaker 4: of directions within the last thirty minutes. Thirty minutes ago
Speaker 4: blowing in from center now is coming in from left
Speaker 4: field towards the home plate area. If we didn't really
Speaker 4: see it effect the fly balls last night, but it
Speaker 4: could be a little different story in tonight's ballgame. And
Speaker 4: what a ballgame last night, because all of a sudden,
Speaker 4: this racous crowd got Stone quiet in a hurry.
Speaker 5: I think you know, it's the biggest stage, and the
Speaker 5: guys who have experience on this stage showed out last night.
Speaker 5: In Game three and off the Dodgers take the series.
Speaker 4: Leave.
Speaker 5: That's Walker Bueller on the mound, Keith a Hernandez and
Speaker 5: Max Montcy at the plate. Those are been three main
Speaker 5: stays for the Dodgers in the postseason over the last
Speaker 5: decade or so, and they came through yet again. And
Speaker 5: what we know is a pivotal Game three.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I think too in the matter in which
Speaker 4: they did it in another shutout. You start to look,
Speaker 4: now the last of five games, Dodgers have four shutouts.
Speaker 4: That's remarkable, and especially if we break it down a
Speaker 4: little bit more. Some people talk about as the game regresses,
Speaker 4: but that in itself is a big story. And then
Speaker 4: you begin to look at it a little bit closer
Speaker 4: look than I had this morning. You know, over half
Speaker 4: of the innings pitched in those four shutouts in the
Speaker 4: five games have been.
Speaker 3: Covered by the bullpen.
Speaker 4: And yet the bullpend, we can say honestly, has not
Speaker 4: been quote unquote overworked. It has been kind of assigned
Speaker 4: a little workload here, a little workload there. Yes they've
Speaker 4: had a lot of work, but it has not been
Speaker 4: I think overly worked. High pitch counts.
Speaker 5: It's a much different starting lineup for the Dodgers here
Speaker 5: for Game four. Freddy Freeman not in there. He was
Speaker 5: laboring at the end of game number three and Doc
Speaker 5: said they just wanted to manage the worklow playing three
Speaker 5: consecutive games, so he is out of the lineup. Gavin
Speaker 5: Lux is out as well. They're facing a lefty and
Speaker 5: Jose Kintana, but both Freeman and Lux obviously have not
Speaker 5: been feeling one hundred percent, so that means Chris Taylor
Speaker 5: will start at second base. Max Munsey kicks over the first.
Speaker 5: Andy pot Has comes off the bench to face the
Speaker 5: lefty in Kingtana, as we well know. But look, I
Speaker 5: think that shut out another shutout performance. You mentioned Key
Speaker 5: k and Munsey's performances at the play and show hey
Speaker 5: kind of breaking through and breaking the game open with
Speaker 5: that late home run.
Speaker 4: You know, it.
Speaker 5: Distracts from the fact that, you know, the Dodgers have
Speaker 5: yet to get to Oscar Hernandez going in this series.
Speaker 5: Mookie Betts has gone cold again here in the postseason.
Speaker 5: Freddie Freeman obviously is playing herb. So the fact that
Speaker 5: they have this two to one series lead without their
Speaker 5: you know, a couple of their big guns, they're not
Speaker 5: firing on all cylinders. I think that says a lot
Speaker 5: about this team as a whole.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think there's a balklub too. This had a
Speaker 4: very good plan there. We commented the first couple of games,
Speaker 4: Game one in particular, last night a little bit too.
Speaker 4: The Mets, I don't know what their game plan was.
Speaker 4: They did not inform us, nor were we to expect it,
Speaker 4: but they did not seem to have a very good
Speaker 4: game plan in comparison to what the Dodgers did, who
Speaker 4: are very very patient. The other part, too, is very briefly,
Speaker 4: the Dodgers in the in the three games, have been
Speaker 4: able to accomplish a lot, including twenty two walks. So
Speaker 4: it's not just that the Mets pitchers haven't found the
Speaker 4: strike zone. The Dodger hitters they've had a plan and
Speaker 4: they've been very patient and selective.
Speaker 5: It leads me in to the last point, as we
Speaker 5: get it back to Tim those twenty two walks. They're
Speaker 5: facing a pitcher in Kitana. He does not like to
Speaker 5: throw pitches in the zone, so the Dodgers have to
Speaker 5: use their patented patients to their advantage. Tonight in Game four,
Speaker 5: trying to take a three to one series stranglehold here
Speaker 5: in this LCS.
Speaker 2: All right, thank you guys, as we get you ready
Speaker 2: for first pitch from New York. You're counting down, Dodger fans.
Speaker 2: Get your game day meal on at Shaky's Pizza Parlor.

Speaker 2: Dodgers and match game four the National League Championship Series
Speaker 2: from New York Yoshanobo Yamamoto and Jose Nkhana.
Speaker 3: The pitching matchup. First pitch, coming up at five oh eight.
Speaker 1: This is the Otani.
Speaker 5: Rewide as sixteen for his last nineteen with runners in
Speaker 5: scoring position. That's where Smith is on second. The pitch
Speaker 5: is hit high in the ear right field, hooking toward
Speaker 5: the poll and this ball.
Speaker 6: Is fair and gone.
Speaker 7: Show hey Otani unloads a three run home run here
Speaker 7: on the top of the eighth inning, his second of
Speaker 7: the postseason. Makes it seven nothing La.
Speaker 2: Show Haltani with an absolute monstrous blast three hundred and
Speaker 2: ninety seven feet. But that thing got out of there
Speaker 2: in a hurry. Drives in three. That was only hit
Speaker 2: of the game. Walt got on base, struck out once.
Speaker 2: Shoe Heotani now seven for nine with runners in scoring position.
Speaker 2: He's oer for twenty two though in the postseason with
Speaker 2: nobody on. So what do they need to do? Make
Speaker 2: sure there's runners on when he gets up, Oh Tony
Speaker 2: rewind brought to you by eto In's Oyocha, Japan's number
Speaker 2: one Green Sea and the tea that Shoeyotani loves and
Speaker 2: drinks available at your local diso stores, Target and eto
Speaker 2: in dot com.
Speaker 3: That's it oe n dot com.
Speaker 1: This is Kirston's Corner with Kirston Watson.
Speaker 2: Hey, Kirston own toys is from City Field. It is
Speaker 2: Game four the NLCS, and the lineup's a little different tonight.
Speaker 3: Garson.
Speaker 8: Yeah, no, Freddie Freeman, No, Gavin Lux and so yes,
Speaker 8: they are facing a lefty on the mounds. I guess
Speaker 8: we'll start with the Gavin Knox part of that conversation.
Speaker 8: And we've seen the season there have been times in
Speaker 8: which he has been facing a lefty. There have also
Speaker 8: been times in which they've had someone else in to
Speaker 8: face a lefty. So part of the part of the
Speaker 8: decision for not having Lucks out there was just that
Speaker 8: left on the mound. They feel like he's very good
Speaker 8: against left you so try to you know, and the
Speaker 8: splits aren't as strong against righty, so have some guys
Speaker 8: for a little tough rat bats. But then he also
Speaker 8: has been dealing with that hip flexer and we saw
Speaker 8: it when the team was back in La came out
Speaker 8: of the game. It's been doing a lot of treatment
Speaker 8: on it, trying to kind of put himself in a
Speaker 8: good spot. So today was also partly about that. For
Speaker 8: Gavin Lux just giving him some time to kind of
Speaker 8: allow that hip flexer to heal a little bit more.
Speaker 8: It's obviously very cold here. That's a challenge on the
Speaker 8: body and especially when you are injured. So give him
Speaker 8: a little bit of time. He is available off the
Speaker 8: bench if need be. For Freddie Freeman, it's pretty much
Speaker 8: the same thing. When we saw him last night. There
Speaker 8: was a play that he made when he was receiving
Speaker 8: the ball at first base. When he came off the bag,
Speaker 8: it was pretty awkward. And then he was coming into
Speaker 8: the dugout from first place. It's a long walk or
Speaker 8: run or jog, however you want to take it. But
Speaker 8: you could see on his face he looked pretty ginger
Speaker 8: and in some pain. So Dave Roberts said that last
Speaker 8: night he had a conversation with Freddy, called him and
Speaker 8: he just told him, you know, you're gonna be down today,
Speaker 8: so that he doesn't have to go through his full,
Speaker 8: you know, the four hour routine of getting his ankle ready,
Speaker 8: being warm in a good spot, doing all his swings
Speaker 8: in the cage and all of that. So just giving
Speaker 8: him a day to kind of heal that ankle to
Speaker 8: reset so he can be available for a start tomorrow.
Speaker 8: And obviously with Freddy, he wants to be out there
Speaker 8: so badly. But Dave was just saying, you know this,
Speaker 8: this was truly the right decision. He is dealing with
Speaker 8: a bad injury, and so they want to keep him
Speaker 8: ready not only to close out this series, but hopefully
Speaker 8: for the World Series as well.
Speaker 2: Here so this team seems like they're pretty special in
Speaker 2: the postseason. Everything's clicking right now. Guys are doing great things.
Speaker 2: This group, They're doing something good.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they are.
Speaker 9: You know.
Speaker 8: I was actually just talking to Michael Kopek and yes,
Speaker 8: this is his first year in the team and he
Speaker 8: came over at the trade deadline, but he's had postseason experience,
Speaker 8: and so I was talking to him, you know, does
Speaker 8: this October feel different? And he was like, you know what,
Speaker 8: as much as he wasn't a part of the Dodgers
Speaker 8: in the years past, he said that he can see
Speaker 8: that the guys who were here, they're playing with the
Speaker 8: chip on their shoulders, and you know that is a
Speaker 8: driving force from how these last few years have ended.
Speaker 8: We heard Key K He went on National TV talking
Speaker 8: about how you know, they didn't get the team, the
Speaker 8: guys who were part of that twenty twenty World Series championship,
Speaker 8: they didn't get the parade, they didn't get to celebrate
Speaker 8: with each other like they wanted to. So they're also
Speaker 8: playing for that as well, and so you're seeing just
Speaker 8: there's a different edge and hopefully they can keep it going.
Speaker 8: They obviously set the tone here in New York last night,
Speaker 8: and so today is going to be an important one
Speaker 8: to see if they can maintain that because I think
Speaker 8: something else we've been seeing ish just the out first
Speaker 8: and then maybe slows down the next day.
Speaker 3: So keeping that consistent, Well, see if they can keep
Speaker 3: it going tonight.
Speaker 2: Thank you curiously. We'll check out with you after the game.

Speaker 2: deeper into this pitching matchup David Vatsego's one on one
Speaker 2: with Walker, but I'm next we'll hear from the manager
Speaker 2: Dave Roberts lead you up to Game four the NLCS
Speaker 2: Dodgers and Mets. First pitch in five oh wait, I'm
Speaker 2: Tim Kats's Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 1: Well, this is Morongo Casino Dodgers on your home for
Speaker 1: LA Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 2: Maronggo Casino Dodgers on Deck continues as we lead you
Speaker 2: out to first pitch on this Thursday afternoon. It's the
Speaker 2: Dodgers and Mets, Game four of the National League Championship Series.
Speaker 2: Marongo Casino Resorting Spy a Grand Slam for good times.
Speaker 2: First pitch coming up at five oh eight. Let's head
Speaker 2: back out to New York and check out the Dodgers skipper.
Speaker 3: Any questions for Dave?
Speaker 6: Dave? Can you just describe Dave?
Speaker 3: Can you talk about the pressure in the dugouts with
Speaker 3: Dave Roberts?
Speaker 10: Dave?
Speaker 8: First, just how is Freddy doing? I know he's not
Speaker 8: in the lineup, but just do you have any updates
Speaker 8: on him today?
Speaker 10: In good spirits, he's just spending, he's obviously ailing, and
Speaker 10: he's doing everything he can to stay on the field,
Speaker 10: you know, with the back to back games and you
Speaker 10: know one tomorrow, just trying to feel kind of make
Speaker 10: a decision on what puts him in the best position
Speaker 10: for the games going forward, and just tonight seemed easy.
Speaker 10: Obviously he wants to be in there, but I think
Speaker 10: having him not make the start, run out there on
Speaker 10: and off the field, but be ready for a big
Speaker 10: spot tonight made made a.
Speaker 6: Lot of sense.
Speaker 8: And then with Gavin Lux, I know he's been dealing
Speaker 8: with a little bit of that hip flexer here and there.
Speaker 8: But was today's decision mostly off just facing a lefty
Speaker 8: on the mound or did yeah?
Speaker 10: I think he was combo. You know, he's had some
Speaker 10: starts versus left handed pitching. You know, Cantana has been
Speaker 10: really tough on left He's putting him on the ground,
Speaker 10: the strikeout raids and stuff like that, So that's one
Speaker 10: part of it. Also with the leg, just kind of
Speaker 10: trying to give him an extra day to recover, but
Speaker 10: also have him available if need be late.
Speaker 3: Are you staying left edd Jack?
Speaker 11: Did you guys decide with Freddy like earlier today or
Speaker 11: even last night that he wouldn't play or was it
Speaker 11: after he got here and started going through stuff.
Speaker 10: I reached out last night. I gave a call last
Speaker 10: night just so he could kind of you know, if
Speaker 10: we decided to give him today, I wanted him to
Speaker 10: take full advantage of not when he put his head
Speaker 10: on the pillow that no, he wasn't going to be
Speaker 10: in there tomorrow.
Speaker 11: Yeah, did it look like he was laboring a little
Speaker 11: bit more at the end of last night's game.
Speaker 6: It did, Yeah, it did.
Speaker 10: And it's quite a jaunt from the first base dugout
Speaker 10: to first base here. But so now I saw it,
Speaker 10: and it's the right decision.
Speaker 6: Over here on the right.
Speaker 12: Pete press Row, I tap you mentioned last night with
Speaker 12: his home run, it was important for show Hey to
Speaker 12: build some confidence. Just how would you sum up or
Speaker 12: assess his first postseason so far.
Speaker 10: I think he's I think he's performing well. I think
Speaker 10: I'm excited for him. I think, you know, the moment
Speaker 10: isn't too big. I think that you've seen other superstars
Speaker 10: in years past their first postseason, you can see them
Speaker 10: trying too hard. I don't see that with show Hey.
Speaker 10: But I will say that that Homer last night I
Speaker 10: thought was really good to see. I think for him.
Speaker 2: All right, there's Dave Roberts down the dugout, brought to
Speaker 2: you by Service Titan. Dave Roberts wins in the playoffs
Speaker 2: by being ready for anything. If you want your contracting
Speaker 2: business to succeed, you need to be ready to let
Speaker 2: Service Tit help. You'll be prepared Service Titan dot Com.
Speaker 2: When we continue here on Dodgers on Deck, well check
Speaker 2: in with David massays.
Speaker 3: We get you the very latest.
Speaker 2: We lead you up to first bitch from Cityfield in
Speaker 2: New York Dodgers a Mess game for the NLCS.
Speaker 3: I'm Tim Kass, Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 1: This is Marongo Casino, Dodgers on Deck on your home
Speaker 1: for the Blue All Season Law.
Speaker 2: It's the Dodgers and Mess from City Field in New York,
Speaker 2: Game four the National League Championship Series. Yoshinobu Yamamoto on
Speaker 2: the mound. Coming up, will dive deeper into this pitching matchup.
Speaker 2: Stephen and Rickle have the keys to the game. We'll
Speaker 2: hear from Walker Buehler.
Speaker 3: But for.
Speaker 1: Joining Tim Kats on Dodgers on Deck, I accept everybody
Speaker 1: for who they are. This is Dodger insider David Base.
Speaker 3: All right, David.
Speaker 2: Last night, City Field was rocking early on before the
Speaker 2: Dodgers quieted him down with an eight to nothing win.
Speaker 2: How's the atmosphere tonight, Oh.
Speaker 13: Late arriving crowd for a late start time. I don't
Speaker 13: feel the energy tonight as much as I did last night,
Speaker 13: So you know it, Tim, every game has a different
Speaker 13: type of energy as far as the fans. Right now,
Speaker 13: it doesn't feel like a playoff atmosphere here at City Field.
Speaker 13: And that's another reason why the Dodgers have to score
Speaker 13: first and really take this stadium out of the game,
Speaker 13: because last night Key k Hernandez did that when he
Speaker 13: homered in the sixth inning. You could hear a pin
Speaker 13: drop here at City Field. So it kind of feels
Speaker 13: like this crowd is not completely believing in their team
Speaker 13: that they can beat the Dodgers.
Speaker 2: David is driven by Ford. If there's one thing we like,
Speaker 2: its choices, fine yours. With the four to half one
Speaker 2: to fifty gas hybrid all electric tough, this march can
Speaker 2: only be called the f one fifty. The lineup a
Speaker 2: little different tonight for Game four DV.
Speaker 13: Yeah, a lot different, and it's really the Freddie Freeman
Speaker 13: being out of the lineup is the biggest reason why
Speaker 13: they're going to have Max Munsey at first base. Gavin
Speaker 13: Lux is out Dave Roberts was planning on both those
Speaker 13: guys being out of the lineup because Lux is dealing
Speaker 13: with a hip issue and Freddie obviously was really limping
Speaker 13: on his right ankle last night in the cold weather.
Speaker 13: So months he's at first, and Tailor's at second, and
Speaker 13: Kyk's at third, and Andy Paz is in center field.
Speaker 13: Now Gavin Lux is available off the bench when the
Speaker 13: Mets decide to go to their bullpen after the lefty Kintana.
Speaker 13: But right now, you got a lot of righties in
Speaker 13: this lineup to try to combat Jose Kntana.
Speaker 2: David, right now, how bad is Freddie Freeman's ankle? Is
Speaker 2: it that bad that's why he's out of the game
Speaker 2: or is this a chance to rest him for the
Speaker 2: rest of this series?
Speaker 3: Where are we at right now with this ankle?
Speaker 13: Well, the good news is tomorrow the temperatures are supposed
Speaker 13: to be a little bit warmer, around sixty five at
Speaker 13: first pitch. The last two nights, including tonight with the
Speaker 13: wind chill blowing in from left field, it's in the forties, Tim,
Speaker 13: and last night we saw how stiff Freddy's ankle was.
Speaker 13: Now he has said repeatedly the trainers have assured him
Speaker 13: that he cannot make the ankle worse by playing on it,
Speaker 13: but you would have to imagine the cold weather is
Speaker 13: not doing him any favors. And Dave Roberts was always
Speaker 13: eyeing this game to give Freddy a night off because
Speaker 13: of the three in a row here in New York,
Speaker 13: because of the weather, and because there's a lefty.
Speaker 6: On the mount in Cantana.
Speaker 13: Not that Freddy can't hit lefties, we all know he can,
Speaker 13: but this was the opportunity Dave Roberts saw to get
Speaker 13: him off his feet and to have him finish strong
Speaker 13: in the NLCS.
Speaker 3: All right, dam great stuff. We'll check back in with
Speaker 3: you in just a couple of minutes.
Speaker 2: Coming up here on Dodgers on Deck, we're gonna hear
Speaker 2: from Walker Buehler. Yeah, what a night he had last night,
Speaker 2: four innings, struck out Lindor with a basis load on
Speaker 2: a just an absolutely nasty curveball. That's coming up in
Speaker 2: about fifteen minutes, but up next to your Dodgers magical moment.
Speaker 3: Don't go anywhere.
Speaker 2: We're leading you up to Game four the National League
Speaker 2: Championship Series. It's the Dodgers in New York Mets. I'm

Speaker 6: It was a.
Speaker 3: Late game, twelve inning.
Speaker 2: Dodgers needed to win this game to get back in
Speaker 2: this series, and Kurt Gibson gave him to go ahead
Speaker 2: home run.
Speaker 9: Gipson hits a high drive, a towering drive to deep
Speaker 9: right center field, and that one is gone. So he
Speaker 9: hits a whole run in the twelfth inning after not
Speaker 9: getting a ball out of the infield all night. Low
Speaker 9: and as Tim just said, a low ball hitter.
Speaker 1: Against the Sinker ball pitcher.
Speaker 7: That is only the second home run all year off
Speaker 7: Roger Mcal.
Speaker 13: The other hit got both das of the Cincinnati Ricks,
Speaker 13: but not as big as this baby.
Speaker 9: And that might be the quietest home run in the
Speaker 9: history of baseball. There are about nine people clapping.
Speaker 2: Al Michaels and Tim McCarver on the call twelfth inning

Speaker 1: And now joined by David Bassey, Here's La Dodgers broadcaster
Speaker 1: and World Series champion Dodger Rick Monday.
Speaker 9: Rick.
Speaker 13: The Dodgers are feeling very confident they're able to not
Speaker 13: only win this series, but now after last night, feel
Speaker 13: like they're in a great position to maybe even close
Speaker 13: it out tomorrow.
Speaker 4: You know, what was I think very entertaining is the
Speaker 4: way that Walker Buehler. Oh he went just the four
Speaker 4: innings and the pitch count was rather high, but he
Speaker 4: did a high wire act that came out of it
Speaker 4: in very good shape. When he left the bases loaded
Speaker 4: and got the Mets out, you could see welcome back,
Speaker 4: Walker Bueller. Because that's to me, this was the first
Speaker 4: sign of Walker Buehler saying, look, I'm back. I'm one
Speaker 4: hundred percent now. The velocity is not what it was
Speaker 4: at one particular time, doesn't have to be. He made
Speaker 4: some very good pitches in particular in big spots in
Speaker 4: the ballpark. I thought it was fitting also that the
Speaker 4: postgame interview is that Walker went out of his way
Speaker 4: to really give compliments to will Smith. In fact that
Speaker 4: he was talking about Will Smith really called a good game.
Speaker 4: I don't remember seeing Bueller shake off many signs at
Speaker 4: all in last night's ballgame. They hooked up very very
Speaker 4: well in obviously a big, big game, And I think
Speaker 4: really last night, you look at the game, and so
Speaker 4: first game on the road, the first of three that
Speaker 4: you're going to be playing in this series, with the
Speaker 4: series tied at one, all coming in here last night
Speaker 4: was huge.
Speaker 13: And you heard when key Y Hernandez hit his two
Speaker 13: run home run Rick, you could hear nothing in this stadium.
Speaker 6: It was completely silent. I could hear keyk down there.
Speaker 4: The only thing that I heard were jaws dropping. Yeah,
Speaker 4: that was just about it. It became very very silent.
Speaker 4: How about the fact, you know one thing that gets overlooked, Okay,
Speaker 4: the Dodgers. Now you look at what they've been able
Speaker 4: to do in postseason, I mean four shutouts in five games,
Speaker 4: that's just remarkable. And then something else that Steve and
Speaker 4: I will talk about a little bit later on during
Speaker 4: the ballgame is how they've been able to do it.
Speaker 4: Here's something that I think has been overlooked. You know,
Speaker 4: the Dodgers in this series, they've had twenty two walks.
Speaker 4: That tells me a couple of things. A that the
Speaker 4: Mets pitchers have not executed pitches they'd like to have.
Speaker 4: But I think more importantly from a Dodgers standpoint, looking
Speaker 4: at it and trying to analyze, to me, it seems
Speaker 4: that they've had a very good game plan. They've been
Speaker 4: able to be patient. And I say that because tonight
Speaker 4: they're going to have to be patient because if you
Speaker 4: look at Jose Kintana, one of the things he tries
Speaker 4: to do, most pitchers are trying to do this, but
Speaker 4: get ahead early, and the reason is then from that
Speaker 4: point on he tries to get hitters to expand the
Speaker 4: strength zone at swing at pitches that are not necessarily
Speaker 4: strikes and help get themselves out. So that's one of
Speaker 4: the things. So I looked at the number of walks
Speaker 4: today that they've had, I mean, twenty two, including seven
Speaker 4: last night. They had eight in Game two. They had
Speaker 4: seven walks in Game one. Patient hitters, selected hitters, but
Speaker 4: still ready to uncork a good swing.
Speaker 13: And the Dodgers have a lot of right handed hitters
Speaker 13: in there tonight, especially without Freddy Freeman and Gavin Lutz.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and you know we'll hear more about Freddy Freeman
Speaker 4: as to go along. But you know, don't give up
Speaker 4: the score. You know, lefties, and the Dodgers only have
Speaker 4: a three county edman who's the switch hitter. Lefties have
Speaker 4: hit two fifty five against Kintana, but they have just
Speaker 4: six home runs. It's the right handers that have hit
Speaker 4: fifteen home runs. Yes, more bats right handers against the lefty,
Speaker 4: but nonetheless it's not quite as high of an average
Speaker 4: two thirty one the right handers, but many, many more
Speaker 4: home runs.
Speaker 13: It feels like the Dodgers are very much in control
Speaker 13: of where they want to be rick at this point
Speaker 13: in time in the series, because last night Dave Roberts
Speaker 13: bet on his offense to score more runs and they
Speaker 13: only used Kopek and Trina in as far as their
Speaker 13: high leverage relievers go.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and you look at what this ball club has done.
Speaker 4: It has been, in my view, really amazing in what's
Speaker 4: going to be happening. You know, this is an anniversary
Speaker 4: that touches the manager down to the dugout.
Speaker 3: Oh I know, yeah, Boston.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Boston, Yeah, this is you know, this is the
Speaker 4: anniversary the twentieth I thought it was funny and in
Speaker 4: his talk with the mediates is no time flies?
Speaker 10: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Right? So was he that night?
Speaker 6: Yes?
Speaker 13: He did forever free meals in Boston for Dave Roberts
Speaker 13: and hopefully in la after they win the World so
Speaker 13: we'll remember too.
Speaker 4: That's what Lindor has said, that he wants to be
Speaker 4: on a team that wins the World Series because he
Speaker 4: wants to be able to come back every ten years
Speaker 4: and not pay for a meal in any restaurant.
Speaker 13: He goes to, Hey, Tommy Lasorda did that for fifty years.
Speaker 4: He didn't necessarily wait for a world championship either.
Speaker 13: Thanks Rick, we'll check in with you and Steven Nelson

Speaker 13: It's game four of the NLCS, but Game three was
Speaker 13: the og Dodgers that delivered for them to get a win.
Speaker 13: It was Keiky Hernandez, it was Max Muncy, and it
Speaker 13: was Walker Buehler and Walker joins us right now.
Speaker 6: Thanks a lot for the time. And how does it
Speaker 6: feel the day after? Oh?
Speaker 14: Obviously, always excited to win a playoff game, but you know,
Speaker 14: we're focused on Game four and trying to get get
Speaker 14: to three to one in the series.
Speaker 4: Here.
Speaker 13: I know everybody's talking about the spin, the curveballs, But
Speaker 13: the one thing that I thought was the most impressive
Speaker 13: about what you did last night is how you went
Speaker 13: exclusively from the stretch after Francisco Lindor's at bat. Is
Speaker 13: that something that even was in the back of your
Speaker 13: mind you might need to do when you were warming up.
Speaker 6: No, you never really think about it that way.
Speaker 14: But last time, with the temperature and kind of however
Speaker 14: they make the mound here, it was just too hard
Speaker 14: and my right foot moves a pretty decent amount, and
Speaker 14: the wind up and so the first three pitches of
Speaker 14: the game, my foot was kind of getting.
Speaker 6: A little squirrely on me.
Speaker 14: So went to the stretch just so we could put
Speaker 14: it in the same spot every time.
Speaker 6: I know, you know the history of the game.
Speaker 13: I remember one Dodger pitcher that would go out of
Speaker 13: the stretch whenever he felt like his wind up mechanics
Speaker 13: were a little bit out of balance, and that was
Speaker 13: Hideo Nomo. I was thinking, obviously, you go over the head.
Speaker 13: Maybe you were trying to simplify your delivery.
Speaker 6: No, it was just just because of the weather.
Speaker 14: I've done that on a few occasions, and I have
Speaker 14: done it if I don't like to lind up, but
Speaker 14: last time I was just trying to get the foot
Speaker 14: in kind of the same spot.
Speaker 13: I know you watched the game, obviously, Yamamoto on the
Speaker 13: mound tonight. What do you feel like he has to
Speaker 13: do to be able to give the Dodgers.
Speaker 6: At least what you gave them last night? Yeah, you know,
Speaker 6: I think interesting to go be himself.
Speaker 14: Obviously, you know this track record of success in Japan
Speaker 14: that he's had and now here. I think as long
Speaker 14: as he kind of does what he does, he's going
Speaker 14: to be fine.
Speaker 13: I know I always talk about the guys that have
Speaker 13: been here for a while, but I don't think it's
Speaker 13: a coincidence guys like yourself and Key Gay and Munsei,
Speaker 13: you guys have had a reputation of delivering in big games.
Speaker 13: How big of an advantage is that for you guys,
Speaker 13: because I know we always talk about the new shiny guys,
Speaker 13: but it's the guys that have been here that have
Speaker 13: been delivering.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 14: I think I think part of it is just that
Speaker 14: we did come up here and you know, kind of
Speaker 14: from the jump from my rookie ear, this is kind
Speaker 14: of what's expected of us is to go and try
Speaker 14: and win playoffs, series and world series. So you know,
Speaker 14: very fortunate to have the amount of experience that that
Speaker 14: we do in the playoffs and and luckily it's kind
Speaker 14: of paying off for us.
Speaker 13: What is it about Key k I know we always
Speaker 13: talk about you, but what is it about Kik that
Speaker 13: seems to click in this month?
Speaker 6: Yeah, he's a guy that.
Speaker 14: Knows how to create momentum, right, He's not scared of
Speaker 14: the moment. And you know, the playoffs in particular about
Speaker 14: momentum and having guys that can create a little bit
Speaker 14: of a spark. And and I think that starts with
Speaker 14: with not having fear, and that's something that the KIK
Speaker 14: for sure doesn't.
Speaker 13: Have Hey, I was telling people the story yesterday. I
Speaker 13: was on the same bus as you on the way
Speaker 13: to the ballpark, a wild ride, but you had your
Speaker 13: headphones on, and usually when you get on you know
Speaker 13: you'll you'll chat it up a little bit. But it
Speaker 13: seemed like you were locked in a lot earlier than
Speaker 13: you usually are.
Speaker 14: Honestly, the buses in New York, particularly the traffic make
Speaker 14: me a little so I was just trying to keep
Speaker 14: my stomach together.
Speaker 6: Oh me too.
Speaker 13: If I was gonna hurl, it was coming right on
Speaker 13: your neck.
Speaker 10: Ye.
Speaker 14: After the festivities postgame last night, at the bus ride today,
Speaker 14: it was a little rough for me.
Speaker 13: Thanks a lot for the time, Walker, and look, nobody
Speaker 13: doubts anything that you guys can do and looking forward
Speaker 13: to a big finish.
Speaker 6: Appreciate it, Dave, We'll see you there.

Speaker 3: Okay TC.
Speaker 5: Last thing here with MO is all about Yoshinobu Yamamoto.
Speaker 5: As we sit here right now, this is expected to
Speaker 5: be the only time the Dodgers use him in this series,
Speaker 5: and that's whether they, you know, finish it early or
Speaker 5: it goes the distance. So the Dodgers are hoping and
Speaker 5: expecting a big one out of him to d.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I think ya Momoto has had the benefit
Speaker 4: of setting and watching this met ball club from an
Speaker 4: offensive standpoint and kind of getting a pretty good semblance
Speaker 4: of how to pitch to them. And speaking of the
Speaker 4: pitching on the flip side very quickly for Quintana, you
Speaker 4: mentioned earlier he does not like to throw a lot
Speaker 4: of strikes, and he doesn't, but one of the things
Speaker 4: he does tries to get ahead early in the count
Speaker 4: and then from that point on have hitters expand the
Speaker 4: strength zone. So the Dodgers being selected to begin with
Speaker 4: as they had been in the series, and then don't
Speaker 4: expand the strength zone and help out the lefty.
Speaker 5: Keith k Hernandez continues to produce on this big stage.
Speaker 5: Tim and it all goes back to the twenty seventeen
Speaker 5: National Championship Series when he did some visualization positive visualization
Speaker 5: ahead of a certain game that was Game five, and
Speaker 5: he hit three home runs, the first of which off
Speaker 5: tonight starter for New York Jose Kintana. That being said,
Speaker 5: the lefty is last eight starts has a zero point
Speaker 5: five to seven ERA again a point five to seven
Speaker 5: ERA four King, We'll see what gives in Game four,
Speaker 5: the Dodgers trying to go up three to one.
