Speaker 2: Motors broadcast booth. Well Wednesday night, the Dodgers wrapped up
Speaker 2: their homestand the offense with a big first inning and
Speaker 2: the bullfen with a big time performance. Bobby Miller got
Speaker 2: the start, the right handerd called up from Triple A
Speaker 2: Oklahoma City, hoping for a bettier outing that he had
Speaker 2: last season. At the beginnings, he gave up a run
Speaker 2: on the top of the first Kyle Farmer and Rbi
Speaker 2: triple and just like that, Colorado led one to nothing.
Speaker 3: That lead, though didn't last long.
Speaker 2: In the bottom of the first show Hey O'tani a
Speaker 2: lead off home run that tied the game. Won two
Speaker 2: batters later, Freddie Freeman one out.
Speaker 4: Nobody on Freddy Freeman hammers one. This one is deep,

Speaker 4: Two solo home runs in the bottom of the first
Speaker 4: Otani and now Freddy Freeman. It's two to one.
Speaker 2: Solo home run for Freddy Freeman is third of the season.

Speaker 2: show ay Otani back up again as the Dodgers batted around,
Speaker 2: sending twelve batters to the plate Otani and RBI single.
Speaker 2: He was two for two in the first inning as
Speaker 2: the Dodgers scored seven runs in the first to take
Speaker 2: a seven.
Speaker 5: To one lead.
Speaker 2: The lead, though, wasn't safe, and the third Bobby Miller
Speaker 2: got touched up for five runs, including a grand slam.
Speaker 2: It was a seven to six Dodgers lead. In the
Speaker 2: fifth thing, though, the Dodgers with a much needed insurance run,
Speaker 2: which proved to be the game winning run thanks to
Speaker 2: Andy pai has.
Speaker 4: I was speaking of International Baseball and the manager's scrum
Speaker 4: today with the press. Dave Roberts was asked a question
Speaker 4: about the news that Dodgers Stadium will be the Olympic
Speaker 4: venue for baseball in twenty eight There's a hot shot
Speaker 4: to the left field. That's a base hit. Once he's
Speaker 4: a round third, he'll kime to the play in score.
Speaker 4: It's another run dotted in Prandy Piez.
Speaker 2: It is eight to six RBI single for Pojz. This
Speaker 2: third RBI of the game. Dodgers up eight to six.
Speaker 2: That run was huge because in the seventh Kyle Farmer
Speaker 2: and RBI ground i made it an eight to seven game.
Speaker 2: The Rockies would strand the tye run at third and
Speaker 2: the seventh, and then in the ninth the Rockies at
Speaker 2: the time run on Tanner Scott, though with the strikeout
Speaker 2: to end the threat in the game. Dodgers down the
Speaker 2: Rockies on Wednesday, eight to seven. Ben Casparius gets the
Speaker 2: winning relief. The Dodgers bullp has been fantastic. They combined
Speaker 2: for one run over six innings of relief. With the win,
Speaker 2: the Dodgers finished off the sweep of Colorado. They're now
Speaker 2: fourteen and six on the season and now they're on
Speaker 2: the road in Texas for a three game series against
Speaker 2: the Rangers and with more We head out to the
Speaker 2: Gallpin Motors Broadcast booth and welcome in Stephen Nelson and
Speaker 2: Rick Monday.
Speaker 3: Guys.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Tim.
Speaker 6: We sail low from the International Space Station also known
Speaker 6: as the Broadcast Booth the Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas.
Speaker 6: Rick Monday, the Dodgers returned here if good memories of
Speaker 6: this park. Of course, the twenty twenty World Series was
Speaker 6: won here and then the last trip yere in twenty
Speaker 6: twenty three an offensive explosion for the Dodgers as they
Speaker 6: erupted for a series win.
Speaker 3: But we're not going to bury the lead. The big
Speaker 3: story today is.
Speaker 6: That show Hey Otani is going to miss his first
Speaker 6: game of the season for happy reasons. He is still
Speaker 6: not with the team. He never left Los Angeles. His wife, Mamico,
Speaker 6: is do with their first child, and hopefully all things
Speaker 6: go smoothly there and.
Speaker 7: We wish nothing but the best. And it's a special
Speaker 7: time in anyone's life. And you know, this is a
Speaker 7: ball club now that that understands they don't have the
Speaker 7: big impact that the start of the lineup, and Eddie
Speaker 7: Rosario has been called up in Rosario, who really showed
Speaker 7: some very good swings in spring printing, will serve as
Speaker 7: a DH in Game one of this three game series
Speaker 7: and he'll bat in the eighth spot.
Speaker 6: And Dave Roberts lineup, Eddie's been tearing the cover off
Speaker 6: the ball down and okay, see, of course at that
Speaker 6: level regarded for being a hitter friendly, but he comes
Speaker 6: into this with some momentum as he makes his Dodger debut.
Speaker 6: And I'm just gonna say this show, Hey, we know
Speaker 6: that you have always valued and loved your sleep. That
Speaker 6: has helped you become the best baseball player on the planet.
Speaker 6: Welcome to the no Sleep club, my friend. Yeah, that
Speaker 6: that ship has sailed.
Speaker 7: Yeah, there's normally signage and says no sleep zone, and
Speaker 7: so it's one of those says. But I'll tell you what,
Speaker 7: there's nothing like having a child come to the end
Speaker 7: of the world, whether you get sleep or no sleep
Speaker 7: or anything else. And again, we just send our best
Speaker 7: wishes along and we'll be watching and listening and staying
Speaker 7: right abreast of what happens.
Speaker 6: That's the only thing that matters is that Mamico and
Speaker 6: their child come out of this feeling well and healthy.
Speaker 6: So the Dodgers without show, Hey o Tani, but they're
Speaker 6: gonna still kick off a series and mob We're going
Speaker 6: to dive deeper into today's pitching matchup in our next segment.
Speaker 6: Yamamoto against the Grom. But all three days, the starters
Speaker 6: alone are worth the price of admission.
Speaker 7: And if we look at what the Rangers have done
Speaker 7: so far, they've supplemented some pretty good offense here and there,
Speaker 7: and they're leading the Western Division of the America League
Speaker 7: by two games over the Mariners. Has actually got under
Speaker 7: way today. A lot of that is on the arms
Speaker 7: of their pitching staff, both the starters and of the bullpend.
Speaker 7: The Dodgers have to figure out way to get on.
Speaker 6: Base, and the Rangers like the Dodgers and Dodger fans
Speaker 6: no they own Dodgers Stadium, LA ten and two at

Speaker 2: news kirston No show Hey Otani today.
Speaker 9: No show hair TONI. But that really exciting news with that,
Speaker 9: it's because he and his wife Aniko, they are welcoming
Speaker 9: their first child together. So Steve Roberts said he didn't
Speaker 9: know exactly when the new date is or kind of
Speaker 9: what exactly situation at the moment, but actually, so hey,
Speaker 9: he did not come on the road, typically did not

Speaker 9: on my first pile is going to be I mean,
Speaker 9: what more did you ask for?
Speaker 2: No doubt about it. Congratulations to him and his wife.
Speaker 2: The other end roster moved for the Dodgers. Add in
Speaker 2: a little pitching depth.
Speaker 9: Yeah, so I guess first I could start with with
Speaker 9: showhy going on fraternity list. That means that Eddie Rozario
Speaker 9: is here for that move. But on the pitching side, yes,
Speaker 9: Noah David, he has actually acquired in late March on
Speaker 9: the Red Sox, so we've been with OKAC. He has
Speaker 9: been activated today and that's what Bobby Miller, who these
Speaker 9: options after that game back in Locking so four. Noah
Speaker 9: Davis telling SPP is a Southern California.
Speaker 1: Kiss.
Speaker 9: He's very tited to be wearing Dodger blue. He is
Speaker 9: someone can get some links out of the bullpen, so
Speaker 9: that's probably the biggest thing, so if they need that.
Speaker 9: But Yo Chobo, especially today on the Mountains, he's been
Speaker 9: going deep in all of this game thus far. Picking
Speaker 9: it looks like six innings, so hopefully you can keep
Speaker 9: that going. But he has been excellent and he's got
Speaker 9: to fight the pitching matchup, that's for sure today.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is a tremendous pitching matchup with Jacob de
Speaker 2: Grom and Yoshinobu Yamamono Kirston. We appreciate it. We'll check

Speaker 2: Triple A Oklahoma City as is Evan Phillips Clayton Kershaw
Speaker 2: last week, three shutout innings in a minor league rehab assignment.
Speaker 2: All right, let's head back out to Arlington and check
Speaker 2: out with the Dodgers skipper anything Dave?
Speaker 1: Do you questions for Dave?
Speaker 5: Dave? Can you just describe Dave?
Speaker 3: Can you talk about the pressure in the.
Speaker 1: Out with Dave Roberts.
Speaker 10: So show Hay is obviously he's on paternity. He and
Speaker 10: Mamico are expecting at some point, and so that's all
Speaker 10: I know.
Speaker 5: I don't know when he's going to come back.
Speaker 10: I don't know when they're going to have the baby,
Speaker 10: but obviously they're together in anticipation.
Speaker 11: With that first, that's very exciting news. But with that,
Speaker 11: you do have Eddie Rosario here, so I'm assuming that's
Speaker 11: going to be the move. So with this, you're just
Speaker 11: suspecting he could be with the team.
Speaker 3: For a while.
Speaker 5: Yeah, And I don't know exactly.
Speaker 10: I probably should know how many days paternity is, but
Speaker 10: that was a corresponding mood to have Eddie here, and
Speaker 10: he's obviously in the lineup today, and you know, I'll
Speaker 10: see about tomorrow.
Speaker 6: Why the other night with you guys here and then
Speaker 6: went back?
Speaker 12: Or is there any chance that he comes this weekend,
Speaker 12: comes back to late this weekend.
Speaker 5: There's a chance there, Yes, there's chance.
Speaker 10: I don't know if it's I don't know what day,
Speaker 10: but there's certainly a chance, yes.
Speaker 5: For him, not at this time, maybe later.
Speaker 11: Yeah, did you read just the excitement on him? I
Speaker 11: mean obvious this is something very special for him to
Speaker 11: be welcoming their first child into the family.
Speaker 10: You know what, I really I heard about it, and
Speaker 10: I didn't really talk to him about it. So, you know,
Speaker 10: Lord willing they have a healthy birth and have a
Speaker 10: healthy baby, and then we'll talk more about it.
Speaker 5: But I didn't really get into it before.
Speaker 13: That was like apartmentalizer he is.
Speaker 11: That's what that's gonna have to come in handy now
Speaker 11: that you guys got to kidd home.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it is. He is a very good compartmentalizer. He
Speaker 5: loves his sleep.
Speaker 10: So that's gonna I'm gonna it'll be interesting to see,
Speaker 10: you know, how the sleep wins out or doesn't win
Speaker 10: out when you have a baby at the top.
Speaker 7: Of the order?
Speaker 11: Do you just plan the natural shift Mookie batting leadoff
Speaker 11: than Freddie Tayoscar?
Speaker 1: How do you see that kind of cheap?
Speaker 10: You know, I just sort of, you know, I left
Speaker 10: Mooki in the two, I put Tommy in the one
Speaker 10: and sort of just left everyone kind of in their
Speaker 10: respectable slots in the order.
Speaker 12: What's it like for you to come back to this stadium.
Speaker 12: I know you guys were here a couple of years ago,
Speaker 12: but do you still have the memories of the twenty
Speaker 12: every time that you come here.
Speaker 10: Actually being at the at the hotel is really interesting
Speaker 10: because during COVID where there was no one there, just
Speaker 10: the teams and spending a lot of time on the
Speaker 10: property is a great memory coming here, although being on
Speaker 10: the other side, we're on the home side. Just great
Speaker 10: being back here. Yes, absolutely a lot of good memories.
Speaker 2: All Right, there's Dave Roberts down to the dugout with
Speaker 2: his pregame thoughts. More coming up with David Vese when
Speaker 2: we return here on Wrongo Casino Dodgers on Deck, coming up,
Speaker 2: Mooky Betts. That's coming up in about twenty five minutes. Got
Speaker 2: your magical moment, all lean you up the first pitch
Speaker 2: from Arlington Dodgers and Rangers. I'm Tim Kasey's World champion
Speaker 2: Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 1: This is MA Wrongo Casino Dodgers on tack on your
Speaker 1: home for the blue whole season.
Speaker 2: Long Dodgers Rangers, Yoshi Amamono and Jacob de Gram the
Speaker 2: pitching matchup. First pitch from Globelive Field in Arlington, coming
Speaker 2: up in five oh five.
Speaker 1: Joining Tim kits on Dodgers, I'm Tack. I accept everybody
Speaker 1: for who they are. This is Dodger insider David Basse.
Speaker 2: All right, DV, we heard from Dave Roberts, No show
Speaker 2: how Otani. What's the feeling you get as far as
Speaker 2: when he may rejoin this Dodgers team.
Speaker 12: Well, you just heard Dave Roberts. It sounds like there
Speaker 12: is an outside chance that Otani could return before the
Speaker 12: end of this series. You know, Otani's done really well
Speaker 12: in this ballpark, so obviously he and his wife are
Speaker 12: really excited to welcome him in their first child. But
Speaker 12: TONI loves baseball, and if everything goes well and smooth,
Speaker 12: I could see him. By the way Dave was talking
Speaker 12: returning to the team before the end of this series.
Speaker 12: And you know, interesting enough, Dave Roberts mentioned that Otani
Speaker 12: did not fly with the Dodgers to Texas. He must
Speaker 12: have known that this was imminent, and you know, obviously
Speaker 12: it's an exciting time for Otani, but certainly his life
Speaker 12: is about to change.
Speaker 5: For the better, no.
Speaker 7: Doubt about it.
Speaker 3: Damn is driven by Ford. There's one thing we like,
Speaker 3: its choices.
Speaker 2: Find yours with the fort f one to fifty gas
Speaker 2: hybrid all electric tough, this march can only be called
Speaker 2: f one fifty Dodgers taking on the Rangers, who have
Speaker 2: a couple of former Dodgers on their roster right now.
Speaker 12: Dv yeah World Series MVP, two time World Series champion
Speaker 12: Corey Seeger, who made Globe Live Field his home for
Speaker 12: a long time before he was a Ranger during that
Speaker 12: playoff run to help the Dodgers win the twenty World Series,
Speaker 12: and my understanding talking to Skip Schumacher, who is now
Speaker 12: an advisor with the Rangers front office, he said, the
Speaker 12: Dodgers are catching a red hot Corey Seger, and the
Speaker 12: buzz around baseball tim is if you look at even
Speaker 12: Baseball Savant, these advanced defensive metrics rank Corey Sieger the
Speaker 12: best defensive shortstop in all of Major League Baseball, and
Speaker 12: Schumacher told me the biggest reason why is because Seger
Speaker 12: has become one of the best at getting a great
Speaker 12: jump with his first step when he sees the ball hit,
Speaker 12: and that's why he's able to be in position to
Speaker 12: make great plays now. Jock Peterson in the first year
Speaker 12: of a two year contract with the Rangers, the polar opposite.
Speaker 12: He's off to a slow start here in Texas, just
Speaker 12: three for his first fifty with the Rangers. He's hitting sixty,
Speaker 12: so hopefully the Dodgers can keep him down.
Speaker 3: David, what's the latest with Clayton Kershaw.
Speaker 12: He's here in Texas, obviously, he lives in nearby Highland Park.
Speaker 12: He threw a bullpen session and my understanding from those
Speaker 12: that were down there in the Dodger bullpen here at
Speaker 12: Globe Lie Field, they said he looks really good and
Speaker 12: that left foot that was giving him issues that required
Speaker 12: surgery is starting to turn the corner. He's gonna throw
Speaker 12: another rehab assignment and he can't return even if he
Speaker 12: felt good tomorrow. He's on the sixty day IL, so
Speaker 12: he's not even able to return until mid May.
Speaker 2: Well, got plenty of time to ramp up and get
Speaker 2: ready to help out this Dodger's team.
Speaker 3: Time now for the.

Speaker 1: Who wants a hot It's time for the Haffe Magical Moment,
Speaker 1: Bitch magicalic phone as by.
Speaker 3: Hawby Hot johns Well.
Speaker 2: Today's the seventy fifth anniversary of Vin Scully, the great
Speaker 2: Hall of Fame voice of the Dodgers, getting behind the
Speaker 2: microphone for the very first time with Red Barber on
Speaker 2: the radio calling Dodger baseball games. And here's Vin in
Speaker 2: his own words, talking about.
Speaker 14: That nineteen hundred and fifty in the spring, I was
Speaker 14: twenty two years old. My whole thought was, Dear God,
Speaker 14: help me survive each broadcast. One of the very first
Speaker 14: broadcasts was in Vero Beach against the then Philadelphia Athletics,
Speaker 14: and in the dressing room, sitting there exactly like his
Speaker 14: pictures would be of today, was Connie Mack. Connie Mack,
Speaker 14: Cornelius McGillicutty from eighteen hundred and sixty two or something
Speaker 14: like that. Now I go and I sit next to
Speaker 14: Red Barber and the game starts, and I remember vividly
Speaker 14: that the Dodgers pulled off a triple play and Red
Speaker 14: Barbera called it like that thing, bang bang, and I thought,
Speaker 14: oh my gosh, how could you ever be that smooth
Speaker 14: and that quick. So for a year, at least more
Speaker 14: than that, I mean, I was terrified. I was like
Speaker 14: a poor rookie who wasn't going up to the plate
Speaker 14: thinking I'm going to get a base hit. He was
Speaker 14: walking up to the plate thinking I hope I don't
Speaker 14: strike out. That's really how I broadcast, hoping that I
Speaker 14: wouldn't make some monumental mistake. And so that was the attitude.
Speaker 14: I never thought, well, I have a job next year,
Speaker 14: next month, tomorrow. No, I felt just lucky to be there.
Speaker 2: In all honesty, the great Vin Scully seventy five years
Speaker 2: ago today his first game calling Dodgers baseball. This Hafey
Speaker 2: magical moment brought to buy Hoffey hot Dogs haffe SOCW

Speaker 2: of this game, Yamamoto and de Grom combined less than
Speaker 2: a half a run in the first inning. I say
Speaker 2: less it's gonna be a pitcher's duel at least early on.
Speaker 2: Less than a half a run between Yamamoto and de Grom.
Speaker 2: Corey Sieger the Rangers. David Vasse mentioned it the hottest
Speaker 2: hitter right now for the Rangers. I'm gonna say more
Speaker 2: than a half a hit for Corey Seeger. More than
Speaker 2: a half a hit for Corey Seeger.
Speaker 3: All right, go to prize pick you use, go blue
Speaker 3: when you sign up and run your game.
Speaker 1: And now joined by David Bassey, here's La Dodgers broadcast
Speaker 1: there and World Series champion Dodger Rick Monday.
Speaker 12: Rickets the Dodgers second ty Field since they won the
Speaker 12: World Series here in twenty twenty. But obviously those memories
Speaker 12: seem to be flooding back.
Speaker 7: Well it is, and you can tell by just even
Speaker 7: before banning practice, the crowd as the busses were pulleding in,
Speaker 7: just looking at people walking to the stadium, you know,
Speaker 7: a few blocks away, wearing Dodger gear with different names
Speaker 7: on backs. And yeah, it does bring up some nice thoughts.
Speaker 7: There's no question about that. And for the Dodgers, nice
Speaker 7: thoughts recently coming off of the other sweep and now
Speaker 7: go on the road, and hopefully that's a sign of
Speaker 7: good things to come for this ball club because it
Speaker 7: is much more talented than that stretch that they were
Speaker 7: really in trouble getting out of their own the way
Speaker 7: for a while.
Speaker 12: Even in that three game sweep against the Rockies, did
Speaker 12: it feel like the Dodgers still didn't play their best exactly?
Speaker 7: Yeah, at least what we know as their best. You
Speaker 7: hear the term so many times about playing up to
Speaker 7: your competition, and the Dodgers may have played a little
Speaker 7: bit down to their competition. And I know that may
Speaker 7: anger some people and say, well that means you don't
Speaker 7: think the Rockies are very good. Well, the Rockies have
Speaker 7: not played well and they've got some issues that they've
Speaker 7: got to be able to figure out which direction they're
Speaker 7: going to go from a standpoint. But I don't know
Speaker 7: if they played down to the competition or what it was.
Speaker 7: But I think overall they walked away feeling good about
Speaker 7: themselves and being able to recover in a couple of
Speaker 7: come back and get some big base hits and really
Speaker 7: score opportunities in order to get some runs up on
Speaker 7: the board.
Speaker 12: It feels like this series has all the makings of
Speaker 12: maybe getting the Dodgers adrenaline and focus back to where
Speaker 12: it was when they began the season.
Speaker 7: Yeah, and I think you've got to play at your
Speaker 7: best because if you look at it, I mean, the
Speaker 7: Rangers lead the American League Western Division. Action started today
Speaker 7: two games in front of Seattle. But they do it
Speaker 7: in a lot of different ways. Their pitching has really
Speaker 7: been good if we look at it so far. The
Speaker 7: other thing to think about, they're not afraid to run
Speaker 7: the bases, and they're going to try and force the
Speaker 7: issue if they can. Can they pick opportunities to put
Speaker 7: runners in the motion, aid to scaut of double play balls,
Speaker 7: and be to put pressure on the defense.
Speaker 12: This three game series has those headline type of starting
Speaker 12: pitching matchups. Yeah, I'm a moto, Rick, I don't know
Speaker 12: how you feel, but feels like he's pitching the best
Speaker 12: of anybody in the National League.
Speaker 7: David, I'm glad you brought that up, because Ya'm a moto.
Speaker 7: In my review of what he has done, he's making
Speaker 7: a statement. I mean, he's making a strong statement as
Speaker 7: to how good he is, and I think he can
Speaker 7: be even better than what we have seen because he's
Speaker 7: gaining confidence now and the hitters that he is being
Speaker 7: able to look at and face for the second and
Speaker 7: the third different time. He's got a lot of different dimensions.
Speaker 7: He's not the same guy this year in what we've
Speaker 7: seen in compared to terms till last year. Last year
Speaker 7: got the feeling, especially early this season, he was kind
Speaker 7: of feeling his way through. Now he is commanding his
Speaker 7: way through.
Speaker 12: Thanks Rake, We'll check in with you and Steven Nelson
Speaker 12: a little bit later. For now, we'll send it back
Speaker 12: to Burbank Tim.

Speaker 3: It's an engagement of endearment.
Speaker 7: This this high and tight all right.
Speaker 12: Globe Life Field is where the Rangers played, but the
Speaker 12: Dodgers made it their house in twenty twenty, and Mookie
Speaker 12: Betts won the World Series championship and owned Globe Life
Speaker 12: Field to help the Dodgers back then. And Mookie joins
Speaker 12: us on the opposite side of the dugout. I know
Speaker 12: you were here a couple of years ago, but what's
Speaker 12: the feelings coming back here again?
Speaker 13: You know?
Speaker 15: I think every time I come into this park that
Speaker 15: situation in life, COVID and that month.
Speaker 13: That we spent here. I mean we were here for
Speaker 13: literally a month straight.
Speaker 15: You know, it just reminds you of obviously what we
Speaker 15: accomplished one of the World Series, but you know it's
Speaker 15: just something that in life, you know, go and stay
Speaker 15: in a hotel for a month and just life experiences
Speaker 15: that you know, you never you'll never forget.
Speaker 3: For sure.
Speaker 12: One thing that I always remember about that post season run.
Speaker 12: Obviously you had a big hit in Game six of
Speaker 12: the World Series, but those amazing catches and the emotion
Speaker 12: you showed in right field, just the defensive highlights to
Speaker 12: me stand out more than anything offensively you guys did.
Speaker 15: Yeah, as they always say in every sport defense wins championships.
Speaker 15: But yeah, that's that's one thing I definitely remember.
Speaker 13: I remember, you know, down in rightfle a lot.
Speaker 15: I know people can't see, but my wife was always
Speaker 15: down there every game with the kid, with my daughter
Speaker 15: at the time, and I remember just looking in between pitches,
Speaker 15: looking at her and uh, we were just kind of
Speaker 15: doing our little sign language through pretty much every game,
Speaker 15: and that was she kind of kept me calm, and
Speaker 15: you know, especially during those Wars series games because they
Speaker 15: were you know, we were going back and forth, and
Speaker 15: I mean it was just a lot, you know, in
Speaker 15: winning the World Series.
Speaker 13: It's hard to do. And I'll never forget her.
Speaker 15: Just standing and staying right there and me just looking
Speaker 15: at her between every pitch.
Speaker 12: Girl, Dad Rookie Debets is our guest here and that
Speaker 12: house that him, Seeger and Jock made famous.
Speaker 5: Mookie.
Speaker 12: Now you're playing shortstop. You put in so much work
Speaker 12: this offseason and continue to do so, where would you
Speaker 12: assess where you're at right now?
Speaker 13: I think I'm doing okay. You know, I've had a
Speaker 13: couple of errors early.
Speaker 15: You know, it's hard to say, you know, that's part
Speaker 15: of the game when I work so hard and whatnot,
Speaker 15: because I'm not really accepting of you know, that's part
Speaker 15: of the game, but at the end of the day,
Speaker 15: at the end of the day, it is, and so
Speaker 15: I need to be accepting of failures that happened.
Speaker 13: But you know, it's I genuinely.
Speaker 15: Love coming to work, like it's just coming to work
Speaker 15: and going to work as short like it's just actual
Speaker 15: fun for me, Like I would just wake up out
Speaker 15: of bed just to like how people go play golf.
Speaker 13: Yeah, that's how I.
Speaker 15: Feel about coming to to to practice at shortstop. And
Speaker 15: so it's definitely, uh, I'm not saying a new era,
Speaker 15: a new light or whatnot, but different energy for me,
Speaker 15: and I truly loved it.
Speaker 13: It's been fun.
Speaker 15: It's hard, it's really hard, but yeah it's fun. I'm
Speaker 15: catching myself now during games asking Tommy in months, like,
Speaker 15: all right, what do I do here? Because some of
Speaker 15: these situations I've never been in, and so you know,
Speaker 15: just being in him, you know, have to kind of
Speaker 15: talk through it as you go because there's so many
Speaker 15: different things that kind of go on, and so, you know,
Speaker 15: it's been fun. I know I have a lot more
Speaker 15: experience to go, but it's been fun so far.
Speaker 12: I'm glad you brought up Tommy Edmund. How much does
Speaker 12: he help you because he seems to be one of
Speaker 12: the smartest, most underrated players on the field.
Speaker 15: Yeah, he is, I mean smartest, I mean one of
Speaker 15: the smartest obviously one of the most talented, whether you
Speaker 15: believe it or not, you know, he is, and you know,
Speaker 15: he's really been someone I can talk to.
Speaker 13: Is really easy to talk to because I.
Speaker 15: Can go ask him a dumb question and he's not
Speaker 15: gonna look at me and like, why.
Speaker 13: Did you ask me that?
Speaker 15: Or you're supposed to know that? Like he literally will
Speaker 15: just tell me if it's a pretty simple answer, he
Speaker 15: just says it simply. He doesn't try and be a
Speaker 15: little near or and nobody does. But definitely Tommy, you know,
Speaker 15: he just he's really easy for me to talk to
Speaker 15: and ask those those questions that I probably should know
Speaker 15: as a major league shortstop, but I don't because I
Speaker 15: haven't been And so you know, he's he's definitely been
Speaker 15: there for me the whole time, I mean, hitting building everything.
Speaker 13: You know, he's he's he's awesome, so is Mookie Bets.
Speaker 12: You're an easy gutta root for. La loves you and man,
Speaker 12: you are doing something that no major league player has
Speaker 12: ever done, and it feels like you're doing it better than.
Speaker 5: Most could even come close to.

Speaker 12: selling online.

Speaker 2: with the Mets, making his fourth start this year. Last
Speaker 2: time out, four innings, three runs, three hits, four strikeouts
Speaker 2: and a no decision against the Mariners. He's facing the
Speaker 2: Dodgers for the twelfth time in his career, first time
Speaker 2: as a Ranger. He is one in four with a
Speaker 2: two seventy one ERA, sixty nine strikeouts, but a one
Speaker 2: to eighty nine opponent's batting average. Yoshinobu Yamamoto on the
Speaker 2: mound for the Dodgers, two and one with a one
Speaker 2: twenty three RRA.
Speaker 3: His one twenty three ERA currently ranks fourth in the
Speaker 3: major leagues.
Speaker 2: His batting average against is top ten in Major League Baseball,

Speaker 2: is Yoshinobu Yama Moto. Last time out, six shutout innings,
Speaker 2: two hits, nine strikeouts in a win over the Cubs.
Speaker 2: This is his first time facing the Texas Rangers. Yoshinovo
Speaker 2: Yamamoto on the mound. Jacob deGrom going for the Rangers.
Speaker 2: Great pitching matchup in this series opener. We're fifteen minutes
Speaker 2: away for first pitch coming out next the Keys to
Speaker 2: the game.
Speaker 3: I'm Tim Kase.
Speaker 2: It's the world champion Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 1: As we were saying yes, is Marongo Casino Dodgers on
Speaker 1: jack on the official home of LA Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 2: Dodgers and Rangers start up at three game set Rangers
Speaker 2: first place to Tom f the Al West Dodgers in
Speaker 2: a fight in the NL West. Yoshinovo Yamamoto, Jacob de Grom.
Speaker 2: The pitching matchup, first pitch coming up at five oh five.
Speaker 2: Before that, let's head back out to the booth one
Speaker 2: final time before first pitch. Stephen Nelson, Rick Monday, guys
Speaker 2: appreciated Tim.
Speaker 6: Another chance to yapp with Rick Mundy here before this
Speaker 6: series kicks off a five game road trip, only two
Speaker 6: games in Chicago against It comes with three here against
Speaker 6: the Rangers. And again, in case anybody missed it, I
Speaker 6: doubt you have it. At this point, shohy Oltani and
Speaker 6: his wife Momiko are expecting their first child any day,
Speaker 6: and so we are sending our well wishes to the
Speaker 6: old Tani family and their family and loved ones as
Speaker 6: they await that bundle of joy that will assuredly change
Speaker 6: their lives for the better. And so now the Dodgers
Speaker 6: will have to play some baseball games, or at least
Speaker 6: a game without their reigning MVP.
Speaker 7: And they're going to have a josh Obo Yamamoto on
Speaker 7: the mountains tonight and the fifth start for the Dodger righthander.
Speaker 7: One thing he's really done, first of all, low banning
Speaker 7: average against just one seventy one, even lower than that
Speaker 7: when the other team is threatening to score some runs,
Speaker 7: runners in scoring positions just one sixty seven. So we'll
Speaker 7: find out what that's going to be entailing into night's
Speaker 7: ball game. And on our flip side, the Dodgers have
Speaker 7: to figure out Jacob de Grom, who came on just
Speaker 7: brilliant in the early parts of his career, but if
Speaker 7: you look at the last four or five, it's been
Speaker 7: difficult to stay healthy.
Speaker 6: On the other side, Jacob de Gram, as you just mentioned,
Speaker 6: oddly enough in their careers, Otani and the Gram had
Speaker 6: never faced off, and so that's an odd trend that
Speaker 6: will continue with Showhy being down for this game. But
Speaker 6: I want to hone in on Yoshinobu Yamamodo. I know
Speaker 6: that's somebody that David Vessey wants to talk to you
Speaker 6: about when he gets his turn to chat with you.
Speaker 7: Pregame.
Speaker 6: But really what we've seen this year mo is his
Speaker 6: continued ascent into the upper echelon among Major League Baseball's
Speaker 6: best starting pitchers.
Speaker 7: Yeah, and he does it not just with that splitter. Oh,
Speaker 7: it plays large in his game, but what gets overlooked
Speaker 7: sometimes not by hitters, especially if they're walking back to
Speaker 7: the dug guy is an elevated basketball with some very
Speaker 7: good velocity on top of that. So he combines really
Speaker 7: some power pitching with that splitter and also the slider too,
Speaker 7: So he is multiple multiple dimensions of what he can
Speaker 7: really present to the hitters.
Speaker 6: You talk about multiple dimensions. We saw a little bit
Speaker 6: more of that from the Dodger offense against the Rockies. Yes,
Speaker 6: against the Rockies, but they were less home run re
Speaker 6: line in that series against Colorado to really get the
Speaker 6: unit clicking as they hit the role. They've got at
Speaker 6: least ten hits in three straight games. They're going to
Speaker 6: try and continue that trend. Brand at the assignment a
Speaker 6: lot tougher Jacob de Gram who throw out the first
Speaker 6: pitch in a matter of moments.
Speaker 7: Tim, we'll talk to you soon.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Again, the Big News show hel Tani not with the
Speaker 2: Dodgers back home in southern California and his wife expecting
Speaker 2: a baby this weekend. Not sure when he will rejoin
Speaker 2: the team. In his place, Eddie Rosario will be the
Speaker 2: designated hitter, called up from Triple A Oklahoma City Hill
Speaker 2: bat eighth as the DH Tommy Edmunds slides into the
Speaker 2: leadoff spot at second bage Mookie Betts, Freddie Freeman, Taskar
Speaker 2: Hernandez typical two, three, four, Michael Flfordo, Will Smith, Max Munsey,
Speaker 2: Eddie Rosario, Andy Pajez. Filling out your Dodgers lineup Yoshinovo
Speaker 2: Yamamoto and Jacob de Gram. The pitching matchup, buckle up
Speaker 2: should be a good one. Great pitching matchup, great offensive
Speaker 2: hitting teams about to go at it. The start of
Speaker 2: a three game set from ten Dodgers and Rangers. First pitches,
Speaker 2: next and joined everybody, I'm Tim Katson.
Speaker 3: This is the world champion Los Angeles Dodgers audio know it.
