Speaker 2: Marongo Casino, Dodgers on deck, you're gonna hear from Freddie
Speaker 2: Freeman is David Vast will go one on one with

Speaker 2: The Dodgers lineup looking a little different tonight with the
Speaker 2: left hander on the mound for the Snakes.
Speaker 6: We'll hear from Dodger manager Dave Roberts.
Speaker 2: We got your Dodgers magical moment of the day, I
Speaker 2: got your prize picks double play of the Day. Shortly
Speaker 2: we'll visit with Kirsten Watson and in just a few
Speaker 2: minutes we'll head out to the Gallpin Motors broadcast booth
Speaker 2: with Tim Neffett and Rick monday Well. Last night in Arizona,
Speaker 2: Yoshi Yamamoto didn't have his best of nights. He was
Speaker 2: scoreless for the first three innings, going toe to toe
Speaker 2: with Brandon Fought, who would end up pitching into the
Speaker 2: seventh inning, striking out six. Did not give up a
Speaker 2: run for Yamamoto, though got into trouble in the fourth inning,
Speaker 2: loaded the bases for Gabrielle Moreno, who hit a grand
Speaker 2: slam to give the Arizona Diamondbacks a four to nothing lead.
Speaker 2: Then in the fifth to Tell Marte a solo home
Speaker 2: run to right center that gave Arizona a five nothing lead.
Speaker 6: That would be it.
Speaker 2: For Yamamoto, who went the five innings five runs, six hits,
Speaker 2: four strikeouts, a pair of home runs, eighty eight pitches.
Speaker 6: But the Dodgers were in a hole.
Speaker 2: The offense didn't come alive until they got to the
Speaker 2: bullpen of the Diamondbacks and the eighth inning, Max Months
Speaker 2: he got him on the board.
Speaker 8: He was left eye dominant. They wanted to kind of
Speaker 8: balance out the right eye, which is his front eye
Speaker 8: when he's batting left handed. Pitch swang on it hit
Speaker 8: well deep to right center field. Carol going back, that
Speaker 8: ball is going to bounce off the warning track and
Speaker 8: into the pool. That's a double for Moncie. Betts will
Speaker 8: come around to score and Smith will stop a third.
Speaker 8: It is five to one.
Speaker 2: Herbi ground rule double for Max Mounsey. Dodgers finally on
Speaker 2: the board there in the eighth inning, down five to one.
Speaker 2: Andy pie Has then came up the very next batter,
Speaker 2: and it added.
Speaker 8: To that pie Has struck out on a sweeper last
Speaker 8: time up, and the lines won the right field.
Speaker 3: That's a base hit.
Speaker 8: Smith will score Monthsy will hold a third, and Andy
Speaker 8: pie Has didn't wait around. He got a slider over
Speaker 8: the plate. It was on the outer half. He went
Speaker 8: with it to write and he gets himself a run
Speaker 8: bat at in five straight games, Piez has hit in
Speaker 8: and now the Dodgers creeping back in it.
Speaker 3: It's five to two.
Speaker 2: Dodgers would get no closer in the eighth inning, down
Speaker 2: five to two. However, they would tack all gonna run
Speaker 2: in the top half of the ninth Inny show, Hey
Speaker 2: O'tani with an absolute missile to center field into the
Speaker 2: pool four hundred and twenty six feet in the desert air.
Speaker 2: That made it a five to three game. The Dodgers
Speaker 2: would get no closer as the Diamondbacks take the series
Speaker 2: opener five to three. Brandon Fought gets the win. He
Speaker 2: improves to six and two on this season. Yoshi Yamamoto
Speaker 2: gets the loss. He falls to four and three on
Speaker 2: the year. The Dodgers with the loss now twenty five
Speaker 2: and thirteen on this season. The Dodgers still sit atop
Speaker 2: the NL West, one game ahead of the Padres and
Speaker 2: the Giants in the division. The Diamondbacks sitting at twenty
Speaker 2: and eighteen, five games back of the Dodgers in the
Speaker 2: NL West. Tonight, and the Dodgers look to get back
Speaker 2: on track. Roki Sasaki on the mount again in the
Speaker 2: start and with more. We head out to the Gallpin
Speaker 2: Motors broadcast booth as we say hello to Tim Neffert
Speaker 2: and Rick Monday.
Speaker 4: Guys, Tim, thanks very much.
Speaker 8: Here in Phoenix at Chase Field, the roof will be
Speaker 8: open for the ball game tonight for the second night
Speaker 8: row temperatures outside bordering on one hundred degrees, but it'll
Speaker 8: cool off nicely here in the desert tonight as the
Speaker 8: Dodgers take on the Diamondbacks.
Speaker 3: Game two of this three game set.
Speaker 8: And the last night did not go the Dodgers way
Speaker 8: as Arizona won five to three. Dodgers scored all their
Speaker 8: runs from the eighth inning or later. But tonight it's
Speaker 8: a different story. You've got the left hander Eduardo Rodriguez
Speaker 8: on the hill for Arizona and Roki Sasaki looking for
Speaker 8: win number two. So for the Dodgers, a different looking
Speaker 8: lineup against the left hander in Rodriguez.
Speaker 9: Yeah, and for Dave Roberts, just kind of moving things around.
Speaker 9: Max Buncie, we'll get arrested at the beginning of the ballgames.
Speaker 9: So it indeed a little bit different look including Chris
Speaker 9: Taylor starts in left field, James Aubman is in center,
Speaker 9: Miguel Rojas is at second base, Keith k Hernandez will
Speaker 9: start at third and also change up positioning as far
Speaker 9: as in the order. Will Smith moves up to number
Speaker 9: three spot, and the red hot Freddie Freeman, and we
Speaker 9: mentioned last night, not only does he have that hitting
Speaker 9: streak which is in now thirteen games, came in the
Speaker 9: last night's game runners scoring position, we're the hottest hitters
Speaker 9: in baseball hitting at four sixty four. So he gets
Speaker 9: moved down to the number four spot. And if you're
Speaker 9: an opposing pitcher right now, Freeman comes to home late
Speaker 9: with runners in scoring position, you might be better off
Speaker 9: just walking in.
Speaker 3: And Mandy pie has following him up.
Speaker 8: Keikey Hernandez gets a start at third base and down
Speaker 8: to the bottom of the order. Again, one of the
Speaker 8: things the manager has to do is to try to
Speaker 8: keep these guys hawk when they come off the bench,
Speaker 8: and Miguel Rojas and Chris Taylor's going to bat ninth
Speaker 8: and play left field.
Speaker 3: Michael Confordo is off, yeah, and.
Speaker 9: For Confordo, still trying to find the swing. Had a
Speaker 9: couple of good swings last night, lined out a couple
Speaker 9: of different times. But if you look at overall, you know,
Speaker 9: it's just one hit in the last forty ad mets
Speaker 9: and he's hitting at one thirty five. He's trying desperately
Speaker 9: to get back on track, and he may be getting
Speaker 9: closer and closer. If last night is any sign says hey,
Speaker 9: look closing in on a better swing.
Speaker 8: Dodgers right now are four and three on the road trip,
Speaker 8: and overall ten and ten. The road hasn't necessarily been
Speaker 8: the Dodgers friend like Dodger Stadium has been them at home.
Speaker 9: No, it has not been last night the big difference.
Speaker 9: And you know, let's come right down to it. It
Speaker 9: was a bad pitch and that was the grand slam
Speaker 9: to Moreno in the fourth inning. The Dodgers had opportunities.
Speaker 9: They were two for five runners in scoring position. That
Speaker 9: grand slam, by the way, the only hit that the
Speaker 9: Diamondbacks had with a runner and scoring position, but they
Speaker 9: were three in position at the time, So that was
Speaker 9: the big blast Dodgers of trying to upset the charge
Speaker 9: by the Diamondbacks into night's contest.
Speaker 8: Rookie Betts has been very good lately, Shoey o'tany again
Speaker 8: very good, had the ninth inning home run last night,
Speaker 8: and of course Freddy Freeman remains red hot. Dodgers and
Speaker 8: Diamondbacks coming up on a Friday night in Phoenix, Arizona,
Speaker 8: Rokie Sasaki will look for win number two. He's one
Speaker 8: and one against left hander Eduardo Rodriguez, who is one
Speaker 8: and three.
Speaker 6: Tim all right, thank you guys, as we counting it
Speaker 6: down to first pitch.
Speaker 2: Dodger fans, get your game day meal on at Shaky's

Speaker 2: Rookie Sizaki on the mound and war Rodriguez. We'll go
Speaker 2: for the Snakes. First pitch of Phoenix is coming up
Speaker 2: at six forty.
Speaker 7: This is the Otani Rewhy.
Speaker 8: Dodger with the faint pulse in this game, trying to
Speaker 8: stay alive. Three to two from Ginkel, swing on a
Speaker 8: hammer deep right center toward the pool.
Speaker 3: That ball has cane a home run.
Speaker 8: Oh, Tonny, when there is the eleventh home run, and
Speaker 8: I'll rocket out the deep right center field that got
Speaker 8: out there and I'll.
Speaker 3: Blink him an eye. It is five to three.
Speaker 2: Show Hey, O, Tony does it in the ninth Inny
Speaker 2: and a solo home run that he crushed to center
Speaker 2: field four hundred and twenty six feet, his only hit
Speaker 2: of the night. Last night he did strike out, now
Speaker 2: hitting two ninety six on this season, home run number
Speaker 2: eleven for show.
Speaker 7: Hey, this is Kirston's corner with Kirston Watson.
Speaker 2: Hey, Kirston now joins us from the Desert game two
Speaker 2: of this four game set Dodgers and Diamondbacks. Brought to

Speaker 2: car the eight seven seven Cars for Kids right now,
Speaker 2: Friendly agents standing by to take your donation. It's Cars
Speaker 2: with the K to donate your car today. Last night
Speaker 2: in the series opener, it was.
Speaker 6: A Yoshi Yamamoto.
Speaker 2: We're not used to seeing a guy having trouble with
Speaker 2: his command and getting touched up a little bit.
Speaker 10: Yeah, and even after the game last night, he just
Speaker 10: said he just didn't feel like he had his best stuff.
Speaker 9: You know.
Speaker 10: Obviously they were able to get to him with that
Speaker 10: long ball, and of course the Grand Slam. You know,
Speaker 10: that was actually the first Grand Slam he's given up
Speaker 10: in his Big Lee career. Yes, it's a young Big
Speaker 10: Lee career, but still, you know, that's very uncharacteristic of him.
Speaker 10: So he said he really just didn't feel like he
Speaker 10: had his best stuff. But obviously he's going to use
Speaker 10: this next week to kind of reset and hopefully ready
Speaker 10: for his next outing. But because that was his first
Speaker 10: start this season on five days rest and not the
Speaker 10: usual six day rest once a week out and we've
Speaker 10: been seeing from him, of course, there were some questions
Speaker 10: of kind of maybe that's a factor. So when coming
Speaker 10: in and Dave Roberts, I should say, didn't believe that
Speaker 10: was the case since he has done it last year.
Speaker 10: They just kind of felt like this stuff wasn't there.
Speaker 10: But that does mainly, you know, a lot of eyes
Speaker 10: are on Roki Sasaki this year because or excuse me
Speaker 10: just tonight, because this is going to be his first
Speaker 10: big league start on five days rest. He's been on
Speaker 10: that once a week schedule similar to Yoshinobo this year.
Speaker 10: So Dave did say that the biggest thing for him,
Speaker 10: he just wants to see the command early in this one.
Speaker 10: He's going to keep an eye on that seventy five
Speaker 10: pitch count mark. If he's showing fatigue at that point,
Speaker 10: he does think that might be due to just a
Speaker 10: one day shorter of rest, So that's going to be
Speaker 10: the key. So I think kind of seeing where he's at,
Speaker 10: he's usually that five and seventy five, but hopefully he
Speaker 10: can be efficient because that's gonna potentially be the marker
Speaker 10: for him today.
Speaker 2: Dodgers with a different look in lineup tonight against the
Speaker 2: left hander Rodriguez.
Speaker 10: Yeah, so you know, this is a long road trip,
Speaker 10: of course, and it's gonna it's ten games and ten straight,
Speaker 10: so with a lefty on the mound, it does look
Speaker 10: a little bit different. So Kei y Hernandez is actually
Speaker 10: going to be playing at third and then Chris Taylor's
Speaker 10: going to be in left field. So that means Michael
Speaker 10: Conforto as well as Max Munsey, you're gonna have the
Speaker 10: day off and look for for Max who's able to
Speaker 10: get some results yesterday if he's kind of been struggling
Speaker 10: of course, as we've seen here and there, but for
Speaker 10: him to get the result yesterday was a really good sign.
Speaker 10: And for Michael Conforto, he's been in a trickier situation
Speaker 10: because he feels that the swing in the bat isn't
Speaker 10: a really good spot. He's just not getting the results
Speaker 10: and honestly, he's just getting unlucky because he's had quite
Speaker 10: a few.
Speaker 6: Hard hit balls.
Speaker 10: So yesterday he spoke to the media, talked about some
Speaker 10: of those frustrations, wanting to produce for his team like
Speaker 10: any player wants to. So he's handling it really well.
Speaker 10: But Dave Roberts did say today, Look, he's a veteran player,
Speaker 10: and so he he likes where the swing is at.
Speaker 10: But giving him a day, you know, with a lefty
Speaker 10: on the mound, just giving him a day to kind
Speaker 10: of have that reset should be a good thing. But
Speaker 10: he does feel good just as to where the actual
Speaker 10: swing is at, that's not a concern for him. It's
Speaker 10: just being a little unlucky right now. So hopefully after
Speaker 10: today can kind of reset and then some good favors
Speaker 10: will be on his side.
Speaker 6: We all need a day to reset. Today. It's Michael
Speaker 6: Conforto's today.
Speaker 2: Thank you here sin Well, check in with you after
Speaker 2: the game. Still to come here on Mao Casino Dodgers
Speaker 2: on deck will type deeper in it is pitching matchup.
Speaker 6: David Va say, goes high in time.
Speaker 2: But up next we'll get you an injury report and
Speaker 2: we'll hear from the manager Dave Roberts. It's the Dodgers
Speaker 2: and Diamondbacks on this Friday and night first pitch of
Speaker 2: six forty.
Speaker 6: I'm Tim kats Is the world champion Los Angeles Dodgers Audio.
Speaker 7: Now, this is Marongo Casino Dodgers on Deck on your
Speaker 7: home for the blue all season long.
Speaker 2: Marongo Casino Dodgers on Deck continues as we lead you
Speaker 2: up to first pitch on this Friday and night, game
Speaker 2: two of this four game set from the Desert Dodgers
Speaker 2: and Diamondbacks roof closed hot out there in Arizona, Marongo
Speaker 2: Casino Resort and Spa A Grand Slam for good times.
Speaker 2: Rookie Sasanki on the mount. First pitch from Phoenix is
Speaker 2: coming up six forty.
Speaker 7: This it's the LA Dodgers.
Speaker 2: Injury Report present if I UCLA healthy, Official medical partner
Speaker 2: of the Los Angeles Dodgers. Evan Phillips on the I
Speaker 2: L with the sore right forearm. He's got inflammation in
Speaker 2: that elbow. So he had an MRI and we'll shut
Speaker 2: it down for at least two weeks. To Oscar Hernandez
Speaker 2: left groin strain. Tommy Edmond, well, he'd be ready to
Speaker 2: go and on the next homestand coming back from that store,
Speaker 2: right Ankle, Tyler Glass, now Blake Snell, Blake trying to
Speaker 2: Michael Kopek, Clayton Krushaw all on the injured list working
Speaker 2: their way back slowly.
Speaker 6: All right, let's head.
Speaker 2: Back out to Arizona check out with the Dodger Skipper.
Speaker 4: Answer the questions for.
Speaker 3: Dave, Dave, can you just describe Dave? Can you talk
Speaker 3: about the pressure in.
Speaker 7: The dugouts with Dave Roberts.
Speaker 11: So Blake is potentially going to start playing catch on Sunday.
Speaker 11: Tyler is on that same program. I'm not sure exactly
Speaker 11: where he's given that he's back in LA but yeah,
Speaker 11: so those two guys and then Clayton and Kopek are
Speaker 11: going to be going on Sunday, which is another different.
Speaker 10: And Will he's just I guess set back because of
Speaker 10: being under the weather while the team is in Miami.
Speaker 11: I think that's what it was. Being sick kind of
Speaker 11: set them back a couple of days.
Speaker 10: And then of course with Michael, how did that So
Speaker 10: all the numbers are the results, those weren't as great,
Speaker 10: but at least for him to just get back out there,
Speaker 10: on the Mountains that it.
Speaker 11: Was a pod. So if you can take from us outing, yeah,
Speaker 11: that was a positive. I think the positive was he
Speaker 11: came out of it feeling good as far as health wise.
Speaker 11: But yeah, that's never a good thing given how many
Speaker 11: you know walks that he let in. So I expect
Speaker 11: we all expected to be considerably better the next time out.
Speaker 12: Dade, you have a key K at third today against
Speaker 12: the lefty. Is that something we might see more of
Speaker 12: moving forward?
Speaker 11: I don't know. I think this is more predicated on
Speaker 11: Kyk feels comfortable over there. I want to get Miggy
Speaker 11: row in there. He feels comfortable at second base. Max
Speaker 11: has played you know, call it eight in a row
Speaker 11: something like that, so to give him a day. Michael
Speaker 11: started all these games, so give ct an opportunity. We
Speaker 11: got some rioties coming up, but then some leftiest So yeah,
Speaker 11: if Max does take another day off, which I can
Speaker 11: see in the next week versus left handed pitcher, then
Speaker 11: key Ca will run over there.
Speaker 6: All right, there's Dave Roberts talking about the lineup.
Speaker 2: No Max Monsey, of course, the left hander Ronriguez changing
Speaker 2: things up for Dave Roberts.
Speaker 6: So when we continue here on Dodgers on Deck.
Speaker 2: We'll check out with David Vase, get you the latest
Speaker 2: as we're leading you up to first pitch from the
Speaker 2: Desert Dodgers and Diamondbacks. First pitch set for six forty
Speaker 2: and Tim Cases. This is the world champion Los Angeles
Speaker 2: Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 3: As we were saying.
Speaker 7: Yes, is Marongo Casino Dodgers on jack on the official
Speaker 7: home of La Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 2: Dodgers and Diamondbacks. The roof will be open in the Desert.
Speaker 2: Roki Sasaki at one of Rodriguez, the guy who didn't
Speaker 2: want to be a Dodger a few years ago.
Speaker 6: That is a pitching matchup. First pitch from Phoenix, coming
Speaker 6: up six.
Speaker 7: Four, joining Tim Kats on Dodgers on Deck.
Speaker 4: I accept everybody for who they are.
Speaker 7: This is Dodger insider David Basse.
Speaker 2: All right, dv hey Son Kim a little bit about
Speaker 2: his background in the KBO.
Speaker 12: Yeah, can you believe he was teammates with former Dodger
Speaker 12: Yasiel Puigue on a team that went to the KBO
Speaker 12: World Series but lost.
Speaker 4: He had an incredible team.
Speaker 12: He was with the giant center fielder who is tearing
Speaker 12: it up Hassan Kim.
Speaker 4: I mean he was Jung Hu Lee.
Speaker 12: That was a real team out there, and I was
Speaker 12: shown highlights by his translator, Joe Lee, and it is
Speaker 12: amazing what Kim Speed was doing in the KBO. He
Speaker 12: would he has the baseball instincts that a lot of
Speaker 12: guys don't have with his type of speed, and that's
Speaker 12: the difference. And we saw it in Atlanta. Not only
Speaker 12: is he fast, but he also has those instincts. And
Speaker 12: from what I understand, it was a choice between the
Speaker 12: Angels and Dodgers, and the Angels offered Kim more money
Speaker 12: to sign with them, but he chose the Dodgers because
Speaker 12: they are the Dodgers and he wanted to win the
Speaker 12: World Series and be part of a winning team. So
Speaker 12: just a little background and certainly more to come.
Speaker 6: Smart choice by him. David had driven by Ford.
Speaker 2: If there's one thing we like his choices, find yours
Speaker 2: with the Ford F one fifty gas hybrid all electric
Speaker 2: toughness mark can only be called F one fifty.
Speaker 6: What's going on with Evan Phillips? David that elbow?
Speaker 12: Yeah, I know everybody's going to joke that whenever. Dave
Speaker 12: Roberts says he's not concerned it turns out to be
Speaker 12: a more serious injury, but at this point in time,
Speaker 12: there's inflammation in his right elbow. They did take an
Speaker 12: MRI of Phillips's right elbow and it doesn't show any
Speaker 12: ligament damage, so that's a good sign. This just seems
Speaker 12: to be one of those things that pictures go through
Speaker 12: in spring training when they build up, they get some
Speaker 12: soreness and sometimes they classified as dead arm. That's what
Speaker 12: the Dodgers have with Evan Phillips, and they just don't
Speaker 12: want to push it. But he's likely not going to
Speaker 12: be out just fifteen days, all.
Speaker 2: Right, Dave, Time now to pick the horses at the
Speaker 2: Santa Nina Park as we do our Dodger derby. We're
Speaker 2: picking tomorrow's second race, five and a half for Longs,
Speaker 2: currently a seven horse race going into it.
Speaker 6: Who do you like tomorrow, David?
Speaker 12: I'm going with the number one horse, fast Service. That's
Speaker 12: the way I like it, all right.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go with the five horse big bet. That's
Speaker 2: what I do all the time, Big bet for me

Speaker 2: When you sign up at Prize Picks, all you do
Speaker 2: is pick more or less strikeouts, RBIs, home runs, singles, doubles.
Speaker 2: Join me in playing at Prize Picks and use the
Speaker 2: code go Blue. I'm gonna go show hey Otani more
Speaker 2: or less a half a hit, more than a half
Speaker 2: a hit for show Aotani, Roki Sasaki more or less
Speaker 2: two and a half strikeouts tonight. I'm gonna go more
Speaker 2: than two and a half strikeouts for Roki Sasaki. Again,
Speaker 2: It's Prize Picks. Use the code go blue when you
Speaker 2: sign up. Test that baseball knowledge at Prize Picks. Run
Speaker 2: your game.
Speaker 7: And now joined by David Bassey, here's La Dodgers broadcaster
Speaker 7: and World Series champion Dodger Rick Monday.
Speaker 12: Rick, the Dodgers get another dose of the Diamondbacks game
Speaker 12: two of this four game series, and a little different
Speaker 12: look to the lineup tonight.
Speaker 9: A little bit different look, and I think the Dodgers
Speaker 9: obviously bring out the best in the Arizona there winning
Speaker 9: that ballgame last night. Not a particularly great night for
Speaker 9: Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Dave Roberts is talking about after the ballgame,
Speaker 9: just not consistent, not to the level that we normally see.
Speaker 9: And for the Dodgers, missed opportunities to score some runs
Speaker 9: at various times in the ballgame. But if you look
Speaker 9: at the Brandon fun he went six and a third
Speaker 9: no runs and only four hits against the Dodgers, had
Speaker 9: a much better outing than what he's had recently. So
Speaker 9: the Dodgers will they've got to redraw things. But as
Speaker 9: you were saying, a different lineup tonight that includes Chris
Speaker 9: Taylor in left field, James Outman would be in center,
Speaker 9: Miguel Rojas will start at SACA base, Kicky Hernandez will
Speaker 9: be at third base. Into nice game, and also a
Speaker 9: different spot in the lineup. Will Smith will bat in
Speaker 9: the three spot, and the red hot Freddie Freeman will
Speaker 9: drop down to the clean up position.
Speaker 4: Freddie Freeman is going to join us a little bit
Speaker 4: later on the show.
Speaker 9: See how was that for a setup?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 4: Beautiful? Yeah, you know what's beautiful is watching Freddie hit.
Speaker 12: I mean we talk about Kershawn how he's in dird
Speaker 12: over his time since two thousand and eight. Here we
Speaker 12: are with Freddie Freeman in the league since twenty eleven,
Speaker 12: and he's still going as strong as anybody out there.
Speaker 9: Yeah, thirteen consecutive games. Here's the other part that I
Speaker 9: mentioned last night during the ball game. Really the last
Speaker 9: couple of games that we've been playing, Freddy Freeman comes
Speaker 9: into last night's game. You talk about efficient runners in
Speaker 9: scoring position for sixty four average. I'm going to repeat
Speaker 9: that runners in scoring position Freddy Freeman to this point
Speaker 9: in the season, coming into last night, for sixty four
Speaker 9: batting average with runners in scoring position. That's really unreal numbers.
Speaker 9: And you look at the pitchers, they've not figured out
Speaker 9: a way to consistently throw two and get Freeman out.
Speaker 12: Isn't there something to be said about players like Freddie
Speaker 12: Freeman that smell RBIs and you aren't trying to do
Speaker 12: too much with the runner at third base.
Speaker 9: He's one of those guys too, that you have to
Speaker 9: check the lineup card, probably if you're the opposing manager,
Speaker 9: because you say, wait a minute, didn't he just bat
Speaker 9: you know, two minutes ago? It seems like that's like
Speaker 9: when you're hot. I said this at a broadcast I
Speaker 9: think it was in Atlanta. If you're red hot, it
Speaker 9: seems like it's an hour in between your advance, if
Speaker 9: you're in a slump's and oh my turn to hit again. Yeah,
Speaker 9: And that's just the feeling that you have. So if
Speaker 9: you're the opposing team and Freddie Freeman comes up and
Speaker 9: there's runners in scoring position, you may be better off
Speaker 9: walking him.
Speaker 12: Right now, speaking of slumps versus being on a hot streak,
Speaker 12: where would you say, show hey o Tani is right.
Speaker 9: Now in between. I think it depends on which swing,
Speaker 9: because we're beginning to see an infiltration of the swing
Speaker 9: where he pulls off of the ball, and I think
Speaker 9: that's when being over anxious. We're seeing guys now trying
Speaker 9: to work in I didn't really think David that the
Speaker 9: second half of last year did. We saw a lot
Speaker 9: of pitchers pitch him inside tightly, And if you look
Speaker 9: at numbers over the last three years in particular, the
Speaker 9: number that I see is that that has been problematic
Speaker 9: for show hey Otani. It problematic enters into the picture
Speaker 9: at all the way he hits overall, but it's the
Speaker 9: vault inside that has maybe given him some trouble. Then
Speaker 9: he started to hit it better last year. I didn't
Speaker 9: think again the second half of the season that he
Speaker 9: was crowded with a lot of pitches. We're beginning to
Speaker 9: see now an infiltration of pitches inside. I don't know
Speaker 9: if it's to set up something off speed away or
Speaker 9: if it's just say hey, word's gotten out. If you're
Speaker 9: going to crowd him, maybe it cannot extend his arms
Speaker 9: to get leverage.
Speaker 12: It feels like last year they were doing that, but
Speaker 12: they wouldn't do it again this year. Like you said, Rick,
Speaker 12: it feels like a doubling up of those types of pitches.
Speaker 9: And from a hitters standpoint, you've got to pay attention
Speaker 9: and somehow keep it fought with us filed on the
Speaker 9: computer if you file it upstairs in between the ears itself.
Speaker 9: How did teams pitch to you? Because some teams pitch
Speaker 9: differently than others. Obviously you'll have a pretty good scope
Speaker 9: on the individual pitchers, but how to teams not only
Speaker 9: pitch too, and sometimes look at the defensive alignment. The
Speaker 9: defensive alignment sometimes can tell you if they're going to
Speaker 9: pitch you inside or away.
Speaker 4: That's the chess match. Thanks Rick, you opened our eyes
Speaker 4: to a lot of different things.
Speaker 9: Well that's because you were asleep.
Speaker 12: Hey, thank you, Rick. The roof will be open tonight
Speaker 12: here at Chase Field. Back to back games and hopefully
Speaker 12: the ball flies for the Dodgers.
Speaker 4: We'll send it back to you in the studio.

Speaker 7: Easy, and now what will likely be vast fielding insults
Speaker 7: from a Dodger player.
Speaker 6: It's an engagement of endearment.
Speaker 7: This this high and tight.
Speaker 12: Well, we are always honored and humbled whenever Freddie Freeman
Speaker 12: has time to join us. He's one of the best
Speaker 12: players in Major League Baseball, and certainly a great father,
Speaker 12: a great husband, and certainly one of the guys that
Speaker 12: you could say is the epitome of professionalism in Major
Speaker 12: League Baseball.
Speaker 4: Freddie, thanks a lot for the time.
Speaker 1: I appreciate those kinds of words.
Speaker 3: Thank you, David.
Speaker 12: How are you feeling at the end of a long
Speaker 12: road trip, the longest of the season.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like I said right before we came on air,
Speaker 1: this is a long one. I think it's more for
Speaker 1: the fact of we've had all like night game getaway days.
Speaker 1: We've had a lot of couple of rangelays in Atlanta,
Speaker 1: just a lot of get in lates with no days off.
Speaker 1: And you know, we had a flight to Atlanta, which
Speaker 1: is four hours five hour flight here. So there's just
Speaker 1: a lot of extra things that went into this road trip,
Speaker 1: and especially the rain. I think the rain layers when
Speaker 1: you start your body, you stop your body, you start
Speaker 1: your body, there's an extra layer of tiredness that comes
Speaker 1: into play there. But you know, I think we got
Speaker 1: the first one under our belt. We obviously didn't get
Speaker 1: the first win here in Arizona, but I think we're
Speaker 1: all feeling a little bit better after the flight and
Speaker 1: hopefully things are a better result tonight.
Speaker 4: Is that something we don't fully appreciate.
Speaker 12: It's one thing to be the Dodgers, but everybody wants
Speaker 12: you guys playing prime time.
Speaker 4: There's not many day games.
Speaker 3: No.
Speaker 1: I think that's the we are you gonna get this on.
Speaker 12: This is gonna be hey, it's it's the atmosphere of
Speaker 12: the stadium tonight.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I think the one o'clock getaway days, they're
Speaker 1: not gonna be there that much for us, And we
Speaker 1: understand it's the gate. You want to get more people
Speaker 1: if you like, just like the Marlins. If we start
Speaker 1: at four forty, there's a chance of getting those people
Speaker 1: that get off work at four or five that might
Speaker 1: see the game time starting. Oh maybe we'll come to
Speaker 1: the game gets more people, which is great. We want
Speaker 1: more fans at the games coming out to watch us play.
Speaker 1: But there is a little the thing that goes against
Speaker 1: us and that that we get in late. And you know,
Speaker 1: as much as you know we pride ourselves and being ready,
Speaker 1: they're like a couple of late fights can take a
Speaker 1: toll on you. And we feel good right now, so
Speaker 1: hopefully we can, you know, get back on the winning
Speaker 1: way tonight.
Speaker 12: Freddie Freeman is our guest. Freddie swinging the bat really
Speaker 12: well right now. Everybody focuses on what you're doing swing wise,
Speaker 12: approach wise, but is what you're doing right now a
Speaker 12: testament to the work that you put in after your
Speaker 12: ankle surgery.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I feel like I'm doing the same thing.
Speaker 1: I had the same approach, my same routine, and I,
Speaker 1: like I've been saying the last coal year, I feel
Speaker 1: like I've been fighting a cut swing for the last
Speaker 1: couple of years, and it's not cutting right now. It's
Speaker 1: it's what I've been what I've been looking for for
Speaker 1: a long time, and everything's going up through the middle.
Speaker 1: Just like in Miami, I had a couple of low pictures.
Speaker 1: I was able to say through them and hit him
Speaker 1: into the gaps. And if I had my cut swing
Speaker 1: that I've been trying to fight against and not have,
Speaker 1: I would have rolled those over ifout those off, or
Speaker 1: swung and miss. So sometimes you're just feeling good. No,
Speaker 1: there's no rhyme or reason to it. It's the same
Speaker 1: thing I'm doing every single day, getting ready for each
Speaker 1: and every game. But right now the swing is going
Speaker 1: through the middle.
Speaker 12: But it's remarkable, Freddie. Most guys I went through what
Speaker 12: you did last postseason, not only with the ankle but
Speaker 12: the ribs. To play through it and play at that
Speaker 12: level and then have ankle surgery during the off season
Speaker 12: and not skip a beat. That doesn't happen. But that's
Speaker 12: a testament to your work ethic.
Speaker 1: I appreciate that, I really do. I do appreciate those words.
Speaker 1: In my mind, I'm just doing this what I expect
Speaker 1: myself to do. I did put in a lot of
Speaker 1: work trying to get back as fast as I could.
Speaker 1: It's still work in progress. Like I just was on
Speaker 1: the table for about an hour and a half to
Speaker 1: get to come out here and do my drills and
Speaker 1: get ready for this game. So it's still going, you know.
Speaker 1: But I'm in a good spot physically with my ankle,
Speaker 1: my ribs. We've worked on that still too, just because
Speaker 1: of what happened in Japan and we weren't really thinking
Speaker 1: about my and then all of a sudden flaired up
Speaker 1: again real quick. So we've been working on that, keeping
Speaker 1: that hopefully in check. So I in my mind, it's
Speaker 1: just I'm just trying to do my job and do
Speaker 1: what is it expected of me. So I understand there's
Speaker 1: been a lot of things that happened in the off
Speaker 1: season with surgeries and stuff like that, but I'm in
Speaker 1: a good spot physically where I can go out there
Speaker 1: and be myself.
Speaker 12: Freddy Freeman is our guest all right, Freddie, I think
Speaker 12: we always have short memories and anything. Things just fix
Speaker 12: themselves automatically. Nobody really has asked you how your son
Speaker 12: Maximus is doing.
Speaker 4: Is it still a work in progress?
Speaker 6: How is he doing?
Speaker 1: Yeah? So I think we I think also gave an
Speaker 1: update about closely about a month ago. We were told
Speaker 1: by the interlog just he's about eighty percent. If you
Speaker 1: were to see him on a couch, if you walked
Speaker 1: into the room and someone the couch, you'd have no
Speaker 1: idea there's anything going that. He even had Yambret.
Speaker 6: So he looks great.
Speaker 1: He's I'm still as stubborn as I am, so, but
Speaker 1: he does we are He still does pt multiple times
Speaker 1: a week. His ankle flextion dorsey flection at the top
Speaker 1: of his ankle on his left side is not all
Speaker 1: the way back. There's little reminders still that he's still healing.
Speaker 1: Just like in spring training he had like a little
Speaker 1: cacti spike in his left foot and he had no
Speaker 1: idea it was in there because his nerves are still
Speaker 1: regrowing and getting in healing. So there's little reminders, but
Speaker 1: he's obviously well on his way. The neurologist said, I
Speaker 1: don't know if he's he's going to be an Olympic
Speaker 1: track runner. I said his last name is Freeman. He
Speaker 1: had never had that in his cards anyways. But he's
Speaker 1: going to be okay, and longer than we thought, because
Speaker 1: we were hoping to he'd be, you know, close to
Speaker 1: one hundred now, but it's looking maybe hopefully by you know,
Speaker 1: July August that he'll be completely back normal.
Speaker 12: Love it, Freddy, And with Mother's Day on Sunday, you're
Speaker 12: always in our thoughts. And I know Chelsea's done a
Speaker 12: great job being a mom to your kids. And I
Speaker 12: know your mom's with you every day.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, when I when I was younger, Mother's
Speaker 1: Day was a little tough after my mom passed away.
Speaker 1: But now I know that she's she's looking down with
Speaker 1: the perfect seat to everything that's going on. And Chelsea
Speaker 1: is an incredible mother. So Mother's Day is a little
Speaker 1: bit happier these days now, but I'll be always in
Speaker 1: remembrance of my mom, And you know, Chelse's an incredible mother.
Speaker 1: So I can't wait to get home on Sunday and
Speaker 1: see here.
Speaker 12: Well, Freddie Freeman's an incredible person. I never forget the dads.
Speaker 12: Everybody loves the kids and the moms, and rightfully so.
Speaker 12: But I give a lot of kudos to Freddie Freeman.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but we're not dad with our at our wives either,
Speaker 1: so it's always Mother's Day, no doubt.
Speaker 12: I should listen to Freddie Freeman more. I wouldn't be
Speaker 12: in the doghouse as much as I am.
Speaker 4: Thanks Freddy, I appreciate thanks.
Speaker 9: David.
Speaker 4: There he is the man Freddie Freeman listening back to

Speaker 2: in three five ninety two era, thirty two year old
Speaker 2: left hander from Venezuela, tenth season in the Big Leys,
Speaker 2: Red Sox Tigers, now his second season with the Diamondbacks.
Speaker 2: You may remember the Dodgers were thinking about acquiring at
Speaker 2: the trade down a couple of years ago, and he
Speaker 2: didn't waive his no trade claws because he didn't want
Speaker 2: to pitch out West.
Speaker 6: I want to stay on the East Coast.
Speaker 2: He signed a deal multi year deal to pitch in
Speaker 2: the Desert with the Diamondbacks. All right, making his eighth
Speaker 2: start this season, looking for his first home win. His
Speaker 2: diamonback His next strikeout will be his twelve hundredth of
Speaker 2: his career. Last time out, five and a thirty eightings,
Speaker 2: four runs, five hits, ten strikeouts and a no decision
Speaker 2: against the Phillies to sixth career start. Second is the
Speaker 2: Diamondback against the Dodgers mass Lead last made a start
Speaker 2: against him on September second of last year at Chase Field.
Speaker 2: Three earned runs in four innings in a loss. Rookie
Speaker 2: Sasaki on the mound for the Dodgers one to one
Speaker 2: three eighty six ERA twenty three year old right hender
Speaker 2: out of Japan, the thirteenth Japanese born player to wear
Speaker 2: a Dodger uniform. Making his eighth start this season last
Speaker 2: time out, six runs, three hits, three strikeouts, four strikeout,
Speaker 2: three hits and four strikeouts in a win over the
Speaker 2: Atlanta Braves, his first in the Major leagues. Looking to
Speaker 2: get his second tonight, Sasaki has limited Aponing hit batting
Speaker 2: average to a two to fourteen this season while striking
Speaker 2: out twenty four in thirty and a third innings pitched
Speaker 2: Roki Sasaki and Wuaro Rodriguez Dodgers Diamondbacks were fifteen minutes
Speaker 2: away from first pitch Keys in the game. Our next,
Speaker 2: I'm Tim Kass, the world champion Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 7: This is Morongo Casino Dodgers on tack on your home
Speaker 7: for the Blue all season.
Speaker 2: Long Dodgers in Diamondbacks, Game two of this four game set.
Speaker 2: Rokie Sasaki, looking for his second win in the Big
Speaker 2: leagues last time out against the Braves, got his first
Speaker 2: win as a Dodger at Wardo Rodriguez on the mountain.
Speaker 2: The left hander will go for Arizona because the left
Speaker 2: hander is on the mound. The Dodgers they've got Will
Speaker 2: Smith in the lineup, of course. He got Kekey Hernandez
Speaker 2: playing third base in place of Max Munsey and mcguil
Speaker 2: Rojas playing second base. Getting the start tonight as Chris
Speaker 2: Taylor batting ninth in left field.
Speaker 6: Let's head back out.
Speaker 2: To Chase Field one final check in before first pitch
Speaker 2: with Tim Nevererd and Rick Monday.
Speaker 8: Guys, Tim, thanks again, we get you ready for this
Speaker 8: ball game here tonight in Phoenix, Arizona. Rokie Sasaki getting
Speaker 8: the start one and one, and he's doing it for
Speaker 8: the first time on five day rest. Typically he's gone
Speaker 8: on six days rest pitching once a week. Same for
Speaker 8: Yamamoto last night ran into trouble his first time this
Speaker 8: season pitching on five days rest.
Speaker 3: How much of a difference should that make for a.
Speaker 9: Guy like Sosaki. Well, I think it comes down to
Speaker 9: one or two questions. Is it from a mental standpoint
Speaker 9: where you're used to assist them where all creatures of
Speaker 9: habit or is it from a physical standpoint in recouping
Speaker 9: your strength and not have aching muscles. We're gonna find
Speaker 9: out a little bit more on that end of it.
Speaker 9: But when Sasaki gets a hit, here's a big, big number.
Speaker 9: When he gets ahead the count, it's just a one
Speaker 9: to three batting average against him. So basically he puts
Speaker 9: a lot of emphasis throw strikes and throw them early
Speaker 9: in the count.
Speaker 8: One key thing to look for tonight do the Diamondbacks
Speaker 8: come out with an aggressive approach?
Speaker 3: Do they go after the first pitch?
Speaker 8: Of the twenty four hits that Sasaki has surrendered this year,
Speaker 8: seven of them have come on the first pitch, and
Speaker 8: he's had a lot of aggressive swingers in the game
Speaker 8: against him.
Speaker 9: And we mentioned last night that the Diamondbacks were swinging
Speaker 9: early in the count. Did they repeat it tonight? And
Speaker 9: repeat it for very good reason.
Speaker 8: For the Diamondbacks, said Wardo Rodriguez, going the left hander
Speaker 8: is one in three, and the veteran has been beaten
Speaker 8: up really in his last three starts. Last three starts,
Speaker 8: he's given up a total of sixteen runs, fifteen of
Speaker 8: those earned in his era over that period of time
Speaker 8: eight forty four.
Speaker 9: He's a little bit strange. The Dodgers have only three
Speaker 9: left handed batters in their lineup tonight, Otani, Freeman, and Outman.
Speaker 9: The reason I bring attention to that lefties have hit
Speaker 9: over three hundred against Rodriguez, who, by the way, is
Speaker 9: a left handed pitcher.
Speaker 8: So it said Wardo Rodriguez and Roki Sasaki. That's your
Speaker 8: pitching matchup for Game two. As we get ready to
Speaker 8: play the second game of this four game weekend set
Speaker 8: in Phoenix, Arizona's em all.
Speaker 2: Right, first pitches next, enjoyed everybody, Dodgers and Diamondbacks from
Speaker 2: the Desert.
Speaker 6: I'm Tim Kasey's the world champion Los Angeles Dodgers. Allio
Speaker 6: Nour
