Speaker 1: And now your host former Rongo Casino Dodgers on Deck
Speaker 1: tam kayse.
Speaker 2: Hi everybody, and welcome in to mo Wrongo Casino Dodgers
Speaker 2: on Deck. I hope you're enjoying this Wednesday nights, your
Speaker 2: Los Angeles Dodgers sixty six and forty eight. The home
Speaker 2: stand continues with the final game of this three game
Speaker 2: set between the two top teams of the National League,
Speaker 2: the Dodgers and Phillies. The Dodgers go for the series
Speaker 2: win tonight with Gavin Stone on the mound. First pitch
Speaker 2: from Dodger Stadium is coming up at seven to ten
Speaker 2: on Sandy Kofax's Bobblehead Night out at the Ravine for
Speaker 2: the first forty thousand through the turnstiles. Coming up here
Speaker 2: on Dodgers on Deck, We'll got a lot to get to.
Speaker 2: We're gonna hear from the manager himself, Dave Roberts, which
Speaker 2: to get you the latest injury report from this Dodgers
Speaker 2: team has more moves that have been made today. With
Speaker 2: guys going on the il, we'll get your Dodgers magical moment.
Speaker 3: We'll dive deep into this pitching matchup.
Speaker 2: David vasegoes one on one with Dodger historian Mark Langel.
Speaker 2: That is coming up in forty five minutes. Shortly, we'll
Speaker 2: hear from Kirsten Watson. In just a few minutes, we'll
Speaker 2: send it out to the Gallpina Motors broadcast booth, and
Speaker 2: here from Stephen Nelson and Rick Monday. Well, last night
Speaker 2: at the Ravine, Kershaw with his best outing of this season,
Speaker 2: but the game got away from the Dodgers. Lake Clayton.
Speaker 2: Kershaw got the start, the future Hall of Famer, making
Speaker 2: his third start since coming back from offseason shoulder surgery.
Speaker 2: Four and two third innings, one run, five hits, five strikeouts.
Speaker 2: The Dodgers' offense well, they struggled to give him some
Speaker 2: run support. Freddie Freeman, though, did set a career milestone
Speaker 2: in the first last.
Speaker 4: Night, his emotional return to the lineup after being on
Speaker 4: the family emergency list. His three year old son Maximus,
Speaker 4: with Kean Burrey syndrome, was in the ICU and Freddie
Speaker 4: blists the ball into the right center field gap.
Speaker 5: It's gonna get all the way to the wall.
Speaker 4: Freddie makes his turnaround and he is standing up at
Speaker 4: second with his five hundredth career double.
Speaker 2: He's back Freddie Freeman five hundredth career double, just the
Speaker 2: sixty fifth player in baseball history to do that, the
Speaker 2: tenth youngest player when he hit his five hundredth double
Speaker 2: and that is the top tier play of the game
Speaker 2: sponsored by Arco Quality Top Tier Gas for Less. The
Speaker 2: game remained scoreless through three and the fourth of the
Speaker 2: Phillies with runners on first and third with one out
Speaker 2: Curs although able to get out of that jam with
Speaker 2: the strikeout and the ground out, it remained scoreless going
Speaker 2: to the fifth. In the top half of the inning,
Speaker 2: Kyle Schwarber and RBI single with two outs. They gave
Speaker 2: the Phillies a one to nothing lead. Clayton Kershaw would
Speaker 2: leave after four and two thirds. Joe Kelly got the
Speaker 2: final out of the fifth. Bruce dark Graderol started the
Speaker 2: sixth but had to leave after eight pitches with a
Speaker 2: hamstring injury.
Speaker 3: Brent Honeywell came in and well.
Speaker 2: Then he gave up the Dodgers lead even more, but
Speaker 2: he got hitting around his Phillies with three runs at
Speaker 2: the top of the sixth, took a four to nothing lead.
Speaker 2: Will Smith and RBI ground out in the bottom of
Speaker 2: the six got the Dodgers on the board.
Speaker 3: Finally, they were down four.
Speaker 2: To one in the eighth. Tay Oscar Hernandez got him
Speaker 2: a little closer.
Speaker 4: At first and second, nobody on the seventh, but couldn't
Speaker 4: get anybody home. So now in the eighth we watch
Speaker 4: Hernandez I drive center field, crushed at the wall as
Speaker 4: Marsky will watch it go, and Tao so once again
Speaker 4: at Dodgers Stadium, a leadoff solo home run of the eighth,
Speaker 4: twenty fifth of the year for ti Oscar Hernandez, who's
Speaker 4: gone deepened. Back to that game, the Dodgers are within two.
Speaker 2: Dodgers down four to two. Unfortunately they get no closer.
Speaker 2: In fact, the Phillies would tack on two more in
Speaker 2: the top half of the ninth on back to back
Speaker 2: home runs from Sosa and Shorter. Philly's gone and beat
Speaker 2: the Dodgers last night, six to two. Christopher Sanchez gets
Speaker 2: the win, Clayton Kershaw gets the loss.
Speaker 3: Dodgers fall to sixty six.
Speaker 2: And forty eight on the season, their lead in the
Speaker 2: division now four games over the Padres Cavin Stone. He
Speaker 2: gets the ball tonight in the series finale, first pitch,
Speaker 2: coming up at seven to ten and with moret Leant's
Speaker 2: head out to the Kalpin Motors broadcast boot the Dodgers
Speaker 2: Stadium on this warm Wednesday night and say hello to
Speaker 2: Stephen Nelson Rick Monday, guys.
Speaker 4: Thanks Tim. The series finale coming up quick here at
Speaker 4: Dodgers Stadium. The series is on the line for the
Speaker 4: top two teams in the National League. The Dodgers, after
Speaker 4: losing last night in Game two, dropped to one and
Speaker 4: a half back of the Phillies for the number one
Speaker 4: seed in the NL. But Rick Monday, instead of looking ahead,
Speaker 4: the object in the mirror, the rearview mirror is getting
Speaker 4: even closer because the Diamondbacks won twice today on the
Speaker 4: road in Cleveland. They sweep the Guardians and are now
Speaker 4: three and a half back of the division.
Speaker 2: In the West.
Speaker 6: Well, if you look at the the side mirrors, there's
Speaker 6: that little disclaimer says objects appear to be closer than
Speaker 6: they actually are. Well, guess what. The Diamondbacks, in winning
Speaker 6: the doubleheader today, are road close. They're three and a
Speaker 6: half behind the Dodgers. Dodgers did not win tonight. That's
Speaker 6: a three game separation, So yeah, the Dodgers have to
Speaker 6: take care of business. They looked like they had you know,
Speaker 6: had me won three in a row last night. Never
Speaker 6: really got on track from an offensive standpoint. They left
Speaker 6: some runners on base. They were zero for eight with
Speaker 6: runners in scoring position in that ballgame. There was some
Speaker 6: good news and there was some bad news. The good news,
Speaker 6: I thought was Clayton Kershaw coming on. He wanted to
Speaker 6: complete the five innings. He went four and two thirds
Speaker 6: thought the breaking ball in particular, not only the curveball
Speaker 6: but also the slider was Clayton Kershaw type pitches and
Speaker 6: that's a strong, strong indication. We retired the first six
Speaker 6: batters in the ballgame before a broken back base hit
Speaker 6: to lead things up in the fourth. The sad news
Speaker 6: was for Bruce dark Grattarol. He work so hard for
Speaker 6: such a long period of time, his second outing off
Speaker 6: the injured list. Unfortunately, eight pitches into his outing, what
Speaker 6: appeared to be a devastating handstring injury, and all the
Speaker 6: emotion just flows out because these guys are human. You know,
Speaker 6: you get injured and you fight for so long and
Speaker 6: so hard to come back, and all of a sudden boom,
Speaker 6: with one pitch, it looks like you're not going to
Speaker 6: be able to pitch again for a while.
Speaker 4: A Grade three hamstring tear for Bruce Darr graderol and emotion.
Speaker 4: I mean, that's someone who had he has so much
Speaker 4: joy for this game, and he plays with so much emotion.
Speaker 4: He invoked so much emotion from the people who watch him,
Speaker 4: and so to lose him like that in his debut
Speaker 4: is really a gut punch. So now the Dodgers turn
Speaker 4: the page today. That's what you baseball players say, We'll
Speaker 4: forget about yesterday. Who cares anymore. It's about the game
Speaker 4: in front of you. And they still still have a
Speaker 4: chance to win the series today. So what has to
Speaker 4: happen for them to do that.
Speaker 6: How much adjustment do the Dodgers make from an offensive standpoint,
Speaker 6: And I'm talking about putting the ball into play, hitting
Speaker 6: behind runners possibly. Also, here's the deal for you, if
Speaker 6: you're not hitting particularly well, what about the bunts? What
Speaker 6: if you've been a guy over get him into scoring position.
Speaker 6: I thought there were some pieces in last night's ball
Speaker 6: game that were very, very good, including the Taskar Hernandez
Speaker 6: gun on base three different times, had a double, also
Speaker 6: the home run that he was able to hit, and
Speaker 6: Freddy Freeman came back and for Freddy Freeman his five
Speaker 6: hundredth double. He's only one of sixty five players in
Speaker 6: baseball history they have five hundred doubles. And you look
Speaker 6: at the emotion that he has gone and gone through
Speaker 6: recently low with his family. Things are looking up in
Speaker 6: that aspect of it. It's good to get Freddy Freeman
Speaker 6: back in the lineup.
Speaker 4: Well, now the Dodgers try and get some hits. Those
Speaker 4: were tough to come by last night, especially with men
Speaker 4: on base tim they were oh for fourteen. The Dodgers
Speaker 4: with men on zero for eight with runners in the
Speaker 4: scoring position, the lineup will have a different look. Will
Speaker 4: Smith not starting, Austin Barnes, Will Miguel Rojas drawing back
Speaker 4: in activated off the ange list, James Outman option to
Speaker 4: triple A. We'll get into Rojas in his first game,
Speaker 4: and Gavin Stone and his start trying to get back
Speaker 4: on track when we talk to you next.
Speaker 2: All right, thank you, Nelly, as we cut you down
Speaker 2: to first pitch. Dodger fans, get that game day meal

Speaker 5: This is the Otani Rewid.
Speaker 2: Well, rough night for showy Otani at the plate last
Speaker 2: night Dodgers with the lost six to two. Shoho Tani
Speaker 2: is still hitting over three hundreds, still part of the
Speaker 2: thirty thirty club and on his way to becoming one
Speaker 2: of the elite forty forty club members. So Tony re

Speaker 1: This is Kirston's Corner with Kirston Watson.
Speaker 2: Hey Kirson now joins us. Before this series finale, Dodgers
Speaker 2: and Phillies, top teams in the National League, squaring off
Speaker 2: for a one final time. But off the field, Keirston
Speaker 2: Mookie bets he's gonna be coming back on this next
Speaker 2: road trip, and his role when he comes back starting
Speaker 2: to look a little more clear.
Speaker 7: Yeah, so he he's going to be returning as the shortstop.
Speaker 2: He'sne batting second, and we.
Speaker 7: Have seen him out here every single day since his
Speaker 7: hand was strong enough to be honest, like, he's just
Speaker 7: been taking down the reps, getting more and more comfortable
Speaker 7: playing at shortstop, so he feels good about the return.
Speaker 7: He was very option or just very transparent in the
Speaker 7: sense of he will do whatever the team needs him
Speaker 7: to do. But Dave Roberts, when he was talking about
Speaker 7: just the return, he was saying, you know, yes, there
Speaker 7: are a lot of questions, would it make more sense
Speaker 7: for him to retur turn as the right fielder, just
Speaker 7: considering how Miguel Rojas's performance has been defensively as well
Speaker 7: as offensively this year, what Gavin Lux looks like at
Speaker 7: second with the acquisitions all of those players and mostly
Speaker 7: utility guys, but with all of those moves, the question
Speaker 7: has been like, doesn't make more sense for Mukie to
Speaker 7: go to right field. But Dave was saying, it's been
Speaker 7: so long since he's played in right field that and
Speaker 7: he's been putting in the work at shortstop, so he
Speaker 7: feels really good about that. And then he's gonna be
Speaker 7: batting second, so showhe Tani will bad lead bat lead off,
Speaker 7: and then it'll be Moogie Betts and then Freddie Freeman.
Speaker 7: And Mookie was saying, again, as much as he's willing
Speaker 7: to do whatever the team wants of him, it is
Speaker 7: a little bit different when you are batting second compared
Speaker 7: to leadoff. So that'll just be something he just kind
Speaker 7: of has to readjust to.
Speaker 2: We talked about in the last couple of days, is
Speaker 2: more and more guys come off the injured list, is
Speaker 2: roster is gonna look different. But tomorrow is a big
Speaker 2: day the stadium with a sim game, and we've got
Speaker 2: some guys going out to the farm.
Speaker 7: Yeah, so the same game tomorrow essentially is gonna include
Speaker 7: all of the position players that are on the il
Speaker 7: right now. So that's Chris Taylor, Max Munsey, Tommy Edmund.
Speaker 7: I mean, there's just going to be so many guy
Speaker 7: at Mookie Bets. There's going to be so many guys
Speaker 7: who are either in their final steps. So for Mookie Bets,
Speaker 7: he's going to have the live at bats tomorrow in
Speaker 7: the same game, and then he's going to probably take
Speaker 7: down some more live at bats over the weekend. Dave
Speaker 7: Robert said before his return in Milwaukee. For Chris Taylor,
Speaker 7: he's someone who's still he I spoke to in briefly today.
Speaker 7: He said he feels really good, but still gonna need
Speaker 7: a little bit more time. Max Munsey as well as
Speaker 7: Tommy Edmund. They're both going to start their rehab assignments
Speaker 7: over the weekend, So for Max Munsey and specific, he's
Speaker 7: likely going to need about a week of rehab outings
Speaker 7: before he returns back. Dave said that that oblique strain
Speaker 7: and they feel really good about where it's at. He
Speaker 7: got his back aligned by a chiropractor and that really
Speaker 7: helped just where his rib was and so that was
Speaker 7: actually been a really big turning point for him in
Speaker 7: this recovery. So he should be back, let's say a
Speaker 7: week week and a half after his eye Elston and
Speaker 7: then Tommy Edmund he's also going to start over the
Speaker 7: weekend with his rehab stint, and for that it's going
Speaker 7: to be just getting more reps playing defense. He was
Speaker 7: on his rehab assignment before being traded, so it's just
Speaker 7: a matter about getting back out there. But the big
Speaker 7: question is where does he play when he's healthy, And
Speaker 7: that's something we're all going to figure out together because
Speaker 7: it could be somewhere in the infield, it could be
Speaker 7: potentially in center field. He's a utility guy, so there
Speaker 7: are a lot of options. So they'll have to figure
Speaker 7: that out and make a lot of toughest, tough decisions
Speaker 7: for all of those guys to make their way back.
Speaker 2: Yeah, a lot of tough decisions, but good decisions for
Speaker 2: this Dodgers team. Kirsten, we appreciate it, Dodger fans and hance.

Speaker 2: Up next, though, we'll get you an injury report and
Speaker 2: we'll to hear from Dodger manager Dave Roberts. It's the
Speaker 2: Dodgers Phillies. First pitch is seven ten. I'm Tim Kasi's
Speaker 2: Los Angeles Dodgers audio note.
Speaker 1: This is Marongo Casino Dodgers hunting on your home for
Speaker 1: La Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 2: Marongo Casino Dodgers on Deck continues on this Wednesday night
Speaker 2: as we gonna read you up to first pitch Dodgers
Speaker 2: and the Phillies. Marongo Casino Resort and spat a Grand Slam,
Speaker 2: four good times, Kevin Stone, Tyler Phillips. A pitching matchup,
Speaker 2: first pitch coming up at seven ten.
Speaker 1: This is the LA Dodgers Injury Report.
Speaker 2: Presented by UCLA Healthy, Official Medical partner of the Los
Speaker 2: Angeles Dodgers. Miguel Rojas, Michael Grove activated off the IL.
Speaker 2: Bruce dark Graderole goes back on the IL with the
Speaker 2: hamstring injury played. Trina on the iled left, Hiptos Comfort,
Speaker 2: Chris Taylor on the IEL, Mookie Betts, Yoshinoba Yamamoto, Walker Vieler,
Speaker 2: Max Mounsey, Ryan Brasier all on the IL. All right,
Speaker 2: let's set back out to Dodgers Stadium and check you're
Speaker 2: with the Dodger skipper.
Speaker 5: Anything else?
Speaker 8: Questions for Dave?
Speaker 1: Dave?
Speaker 5: Can you just describe Dave?
Speaker 3: Can you talk about the pressure in the dugouts.
Speaker 5: With Dave Robberts?
Speaker 7: Dave will start, well, first, let's start with actually with
Speaker 7: Bruce dark grat Ole. How is he doing today? Did
Speaker 7: you get a chance to talk to him.
Speaker 9: I haven't seen Bruce right yet, but we've got good
Speaker 9: news on the MRI front. It was a Grade one
Speaker 9: hamstring and so that that's really good obviously we're going
Speaker 9: to kind of go through the process of resting it,
Speaker 9: rehaving it, and we're just going to go on him
Speaker 9: and see how we can build him back up, but
Speaker 9: still hopeful or hopeful that he'll return at some point
Speaker 9: in time this year.
Speaker 7: I know last night was incredibly emotional just watching him
Speaker 7: come off the mound, the emotions he expressed. So do
Speaker 7: you think this for him is just maybe a sense
Speaker 7: of relief, a knowing that it's not as bad as
Speaker 7: he thought it could have find I think so.
Speaker 6: I think so.
Speaker 9: I think early on, obviously, you know, you could see
Speaker 9: with his emotion that he probably felt that was going
Speaker 9: to be the season for him. But with what we've
Speaker 9: gathered the information, I think there's a sense of relief
Speaker 9: and some optimism there today.
Speaker 7: With Gavin Stone, what have you been seeing from him
Speaker 7: as of Lada. What do you think has got to
Speaker 7: be just the key for him? He's been saying the
Speaker 7: execution is what's been missing, so just to get that back.
Speaker 9: I think it's twofold. I think the stuff has been
Speaker 9: good and has been consistent. I think, you know, one
Speaker 9: is the execution and the other part of it is
Speaker 9: just sequencing and he's got four good pitches, and I
Speaker 9: think that, you know, you look at the last four starts,
Speaker 9: five starts, I think there's been consistent patterns, and I
Speaker 9: just don't think he's used his entire arsenal as well
Speaker 9: as he could. So you know, hopefully tonight, you know,
Speaker 9: he'll kind of mix and match a little bit better.
Speaker 8: There's been a lot of talk about Pinky coming back
Speaker 8: once and coming back. How big is it to get
Speaker 8: Ronas back tonight?
Speaker 9: It's great, it's great, and you know that's kind of
Speaker 9: one of the first pieces to get back. And I
Speaker 9: know Miggy's excited to get back, so he'll be at
Speaker 9: short and then you know, once we get Mooki back,
Speaker 9: we'll have another conversation. But I know right now Maggie's
Speaker 9: just excited to get back to be playing again.
Speaker 6: What's the conversation need to be about.
Speaker 9: Well, I think for me, I've already talked to Miggi
Speaker 9: row that. You know, when Mooki does come back, he's
Speaker 9: gonna play short, and then Miggy will bounce around whether
Speaker 9: it's third second, and if there is a day that
Speaker 9: Mooki takes off, then he'll play short. So I just
Speaker 9: think that he's excited to be back, and you know,
Speaker 9: reiterating to me that whatever it takes to help us win.
Speaker 8: Where is that for hopefully of that decision, considering how
Speaker 8: the personnel have changed in the two months since Mookie was.
Speaker 9: Out there, I think I think there's a lot of
Speaker 9: things that went into the decision, you know, one being
Speaker 9: Gavin's play at second base, certainly with the bat. I
Speaker 9: think that Miggy's play obviously with the bat. Defensively, I
Speaker 9: think just continue to keep options open for something that
Speaker 9: is unforeseeable.
Speaker 2: All Right, there's Dave Roberts down the Dugout, addressing a
Speaker 2: lot of different things for the Dodgers, the injury updates,
Speaker 2: Miguel Rojas where he fits in coming back off the
Speaker 2: injured Listen, of course, Bookie Betts less than a week

Speaker 2: Dodgers and Philly's final game of the three game set
Speaker 2: day off tomorrow. Then the Pittsburgh Pirates come to town
Speaker 2: for a three game series. Kevin Stone, Tyler Phillips. A

Speaker 2: dive deeper into this pitching matchup.
Speaker 5: For joining Tim Kats on Dodgers on Deck.
Speaker 8: I accept everybody for who they are.
Speaker 5: This is Dodger insider David Bass.
Speaker 2: All right, David, going back to last night, Clayton Kershaw
Speaker 2: pitched into the fifth Inny.
Speaker 3: How about the day after? What are the thoughts and
Speaker 3: feelings about what he did last night.
Speaker 8: Well, I saw him out here earlier today. His body
Speaker 8: bounced back nicely. That's always a good thing, and you know,
Speaker 8: I think everybody was encouraged by what they saw. Dave
Speaker 8: Roberts even acknowledged that after the game, saying it was
Speaker 8: the best Kershaw has pitched since coming back, and that
Speaker 8: was his third start and looked tim People have to
Speaker 8: give him some time to round into form here because
Speaker 8: he's coming off major shoulder surgery. It was only his
Speaker 8: third start since coming back, and it looked better than
Speaker 8: what it looked like the second time. The second time
Speaker 8: was somewhat better than the first time. So he's building
Speaker 8: off of these things. And he's very confident that by
Speaker 8: the time against Too, his sixth or seventh start, he's
Speaker 8: going to be able to have a leash to go
Speaker 8: into the sixth or seventh inning. So there's no pain.
Speaker 8: The shoulder is structurally sound, there's no issues there.
Speaker 10: It's just a matter of the.
Speaker 8: Dodgers trusting Kershaw to go deeper into the game.
Speaker 2: Damer Gutting getting guys back. It seems like every other
Speaker 2: day here and right on the horizon, Max Mount, see
Speaker 2: Tommy Edmund a little bit down the road. Actually, what's
Speaker 2: the latest on those two and what's the plan for
Speaker 2: them once they do get activated.
Speaker 8: Well, first, Max Munsey and Tommy Edmund are going to
Speaker 8: participate with Mookie Betts tomorrow in a simulated game here
Speaker 8: at Dodgers Stadium. From there, Tommy Edmund and Max Munsey
Speaker 8: are going to go out for a week at least
Speaker 8: for rehab games. Monthsy wants some, Edmund and the Dodgers
Speaker 8: agree he needs them because he really hasn't played the
Speaker 8: field in a while since injuring his right ankle when
Speaker 8: he was with the Cardinals rehabbing from his right wrist injury.
Speaker 8: So both those guys need some games. But Mookie Betts
Speaker 8: is strictly going to stay here in LA and participate
Speaker 8: in a couple of simulated games. So that's the plan
Speaker 8: for those three players, And obviously Mooki is on the
Speaker 8: horizon coming back. When the Dodgers head out to Milwaukee
Speaker 8: next Monday.
Speaker 3: David is driven by Ford.
Speaker 2: If there's one thing we like, it's choice is fine
Speaker 2: yours with the four f one to fifty gas hybrid
Speaker 2: or all electric tough This March YEP can only be
Speaker 2: called f one fifty. Dalton Rushing, the Dodgers' top pick
Speaker 2: in the twenty twenty two draft out of Louisville, is
Speaker 2: kind of skyrocketed this.
Speaker 3: Season, DV.
Speaker 2: Through the minor leagues. Is there a chance we may
Speaker 2: see the power hitting left hander in the big leagues
Speaker 2: in September?
Speaker 8: Well, I know the social media world really got into
Speaker 8: a tizzy over Dalton Rushing being promoted a couple of
Speaker 8: days ago, and he is going to play left field.
Speaker 8: And I did talk to some people with the Dodgers
Speaker 8: and ask them whether or not it was a possibility
Speaker 8: for Dalton Rushing to be promoted in September. They would
Speaker 8: not rule it out. They said it is a possibility,
Speaker 8: but with the acquisitions they made at the trade deadline
Speaker 8: and these players getting healthy, they may not need it
Speaker 8: as much as they did if guys were not going
Speaker 8: to come back. So they're not closing the door on it.
Speaker 8: They want to see how Rushing plays in left field,
Speaker 8: and if they do need another left handed outfielder, Rushing
Speaker 8: could be that guy.
Speaker 2: Not to throw you a curveball here, DV. But what's
Speaker 2: the latest on Chris Taylor.
Speaker 5: He's taking his time, Tim.
Speaker 8: I think the Dodgers want him to take as much
Speaker 8: time as he needs to come back from his groin injury.
Speaker 8: I've seen him out here at Dodgers Stadium. He's been
Speaker 8: taking ground balls, he's been doing some agility drills. But honestly,
Speaker 8: with the way his season has gone, I would say

Speaker 1: It's Morono Casino, Dodgers on, Dodgers on Deck. Y'all on
Speaker 1: the official home of LA Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 2: Dodgers Phillies. Final game of this three game series. Dodgers
Speaker 2: will be off tomorrow, then back at it for a
Speaker 2: three game home series against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Kevin Stone
Speaker 2: on the mountain tonight, Dodgers fans, start your future at

Speaker 2: to start here very shortly. So enrolled today and I
Speaker 2: can go to college dot com.
Speaker 1: And now joined by David bas saying, here's LA Dodgers
Speaker 1: broadcaster and World Series champion Dodger Rick Monday.
Speaker 8: Rick the Dodgers looking to win this series, and yesterday
Speaker 8: Brent Honeywell set the Dodger bullpen up nicely to try
Speaker 8: to do that tonight.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, we were looking I say, well as
Speaker 6: Dwayne McDonald, producer, engineer, looking at a couple of different numbers.
Speaker 6: And if we go back to Saturday's game, entering the
Speaker 6: Saturday's game up in Oakland, here were the numbers on
Speaker 6: the starting pitching and the relievers. Because the relievers have
Speaker 6: had more than their fair share of Hey, by the way,
Speaker 6: we need you to pitch, because coming into Saturday's game,
Speaker 6: since the fifteenth, actually since the first of July, the
Speaker 6: starting pitchers had worked one hundred and fifteen and a
Speaker 6: third innings. The relievers had worked one hundred and four
Speaker 6: and a third innings. Well, fortunately, since that time on Saturday,
Speaker 6: starting pitching his begin beginning to stretch things out a
Speaker 6: little bit more, lessen the burden upon the bullpen, because
Speaker 6: that's going to be very, very important because you just
Speaker 6: can't keep going to the well day after day after day.
Speaker 8: Rick, can you remind us about last night Clayton Kershaw
Speaker 8: won out away from going five innings a lot more
Speaker 8: swings and misses than his previous start. Do you feel
Speaker 8: like he's trending in the right direction?
Speaker 6: Absolutely, because last night there was the breaking ball and
Speaker 6: it was a breaking ball, not only with the curve ball,
Speaker 6: but with the slider on top of it. And he
Speaker 6: didn't waste any time at all. In fact, the very
Speaker 6: first hitter, Kyle Schwarber, he strikes out in a two
Speaker 6: to two pitch. He fouled a ball off in two
Speaker 6: two and then strikes out swinging. And then that first
Speaker 6: inning he established a very good slider. He established a
Speaker 6: very good curve ball. Kershaw does not have to throw
Speaker 6: ninety six miles an hour. He's not going to be
Speaker 6: able to the muster that velocity again, but he's crafty day.
Speaker 6: But he understands how to work and for last night
Speaker 6: to have the command of the strike zone as he did.
Speaker 6: I was very impressed because that's just the third outing
Speaker 6: since he's come off the injured list, and if we
Speaker 6: start to think about what he has accomplished coming off
Speaker 6: that injured list with shoulder surgery at his age, it's
Speaker 6: rather remarkable.
Speaker 8: And he wasn't thrilled to be taken out of the
Speaker 8: game right there, but he understands the Situation's.
Speaker 6: What makes Clayton Kershaw Clayton Kershaw. He never wants to
Speaker 6: come out of a ball game. Well, there's a few
Speaker 6: times here and there that you know it may be
Speaker 6: hot to maybe human and he's holding on and holding on.
Speaker 6: But last night he wanted to go longer. That's the
Speaker 6: difference in Clayton Kershaw and the competitiveness that he has
Speaker 6: when you look at the truly great pitchers and those
Speaker 6: that are here for maybe half a cup of coffee.
Speaker 8: All right, Rick, I've been waiting a few games to
Speaker 8: ask you this question. We've heard so much about the
Speaker 8: gold glover Kevin Kiermeyer and center field. What are your
Speaker 8: first impressions about the way he does it.
Speaker 6: He can run it down with the best of them.
Speaker 6: He does not make content with the bat with the
Speaker 6: best of him, and if he could do that, he'd
Speaker 6: be something I have always admired guys in centerfield, a
Speaker 6: little partial, having been a center fielder myself, but he's
Speaker 6: one of those guys. David, you look at a lot
Speaker 6: of guys in the outfield and say, well, he goes
Speaker 6: to his left really well, or he goes to his
Speaker 6: right really well, or maybe he comes in on the
Speaker 6: ball well. Kemic Cure Minors Carew has been able to
Speaker 6: go in all four directions in out left and right,
Speaker 6: to be able to make the catches. And if I'm
Speaker 6: the pitcher on the mound, I know I've got somebody
Speaker 6: that can just absolutely run it down to the outfield
Speaker 6: if he has a chance to get to the ball.
Speaker 8: No doubt the bat has slowed down, but the glove.
Speaker 8: I guess what's reputation is.
Speaker 6: I mean, if you look at what he has done
Speaker 6: from a defensive standpoint, and you look at highlight films,
Speaker 6: guess who you're going to see a lot of Ken
Speaker 6: mc kermeyer.
Speaker 8: Yeah, can't wait to see tom Y Edman out there too.
Speaker 8: We've heard so much about him and how good he
Speaker 8: is out there too. Exactly, So I'll give you five
Speaker 8: games when Tom Y Edman comes back and plays center
Speaker 8: field before I ask you, I let at marinate a
Speaker 8: little bit.
Speaker 6: Okay, all right, you don't let the You don't have
Speaker 6: to let the marinate much much longer. He's already, you know,
Speaker 6: earned his stripes. If you will being able to run
Speaker 6: the ball down, you can also play short stop, you
Speaker 6: can play in the infields anywhere. So, yeah, he's a
Speaker 6: good globe man, speaking a globe man. Miguel Rojas is
Speaker 6: back in the lineup. He's at shortstop tonight coming off
Speaker 6: the injured list in a very sad situation last night
Speaker 6: with Bruce dog Grattarol unfortunately eight pitches into his just
Speaker 6: second starts as coming off the injured list of what
Speaker 6: appeared to be a devastating handstring injury and very sad news.
Speaker 6: And he was very emotional last night, and understandably so.
Speaker 8: He's a big teddy bear. Even though his nickname is
Speaker 8: the Bazooka.
Speaker 6: Well, you don't want to face him at home plate,
Speaker 6: but he's a guy that you like to put your
Speaker 6: armor around and say, hey, thanks, are going to be okay?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 8: Key k Hernandez did that last night walking him off
Speaker 8: the field. Thanks Rick, I'll put my arm around you now.
Speaker 6: I'm going to walk you out of the booth.
Speaker 8: Right now, I'll send it back to him Kates.

Speaker 1: And now what will likely be vast a fielding insults
Speaker 1: from a Dodger player.
Speaker 3: It's an engagement of endearment.
Speaker 5: This this high and tight.
Speaker 8: It's Sandy Kofax babo head night at Dodger Stadium and
Speaker 8: also Alumni weekend coming up. And what a better person
Speaker 8: to talk to than Dodger team a story and Mark Langel, Mark,
Speaker 8: great to see you here at Dodger Stadium. We're all
Speaker 8: so happy things are going well with you.
Speaker 10: Well, David, it's a pleasure to be here.
Speaker 12: And right after you say Alumni Weekend, I immediately think
Speaker 12: of Old Timers Day when they called it when I
Speaker 12: was a kid in the nineteen seventies and eighties, and
Speaker 12: it's still the same premise, no matter the same generation
Speaker 12: in terms of what you remember and everything. How cool
Speaker 12: that we're going to have all these familiar names coming
Speaker 12: back to Dodger Stadium and sharing memories.
Speaker 8: Including the all time legend Sandy Kofax. What do you
Speaker 8: want to share about him? Because it feels like everybody
Speaker 8: just bows at the altar of Sandy Kofax.
Speaker 12: Well, just imagine who is a reigning Hall of Famer
Speaker 12: for more than a half cent. I think people see
Speaker 12: the statue, but they don't really know the legend as
Speaker 12: far as behind the scenes.
Speaker 10: He retires when he's thirty.
Speaker 12: Years old, having won twenty seven regular season games in
Speaker 12: nineteen sixty six because of arthritis.
Speaker 10: So if you look at all the.
Speaker 12: Stats, they say three times Cy Young Award winner, they
Speaker 12: only gave one Cy Young Award between nineteen fifty six
Speaker 12: and nineteen sixty six, and I have a feeling that
Speaker 12: after Sandy had won three, they said, you know, we
Speaker 12: better give one to each league, otherwise Sandy's going to
Speaker 12: take them all.
Speaker 8: How much have you shared stories and memories with Sandy
Speaker 8: Kofax for him to be in the vault of Mark
Speaker 8: Langel's head.
Speaker 12: The really nice thing is to be able to know
Speaker 12: behind the scenes as far as the perfect game, and
Speaker 12: to be able to work with Jane Levy as far
Speaker 12: as that wonderful book.
Speaker 5: That he did.
Speaker 12: She did because people just don't understand. We've been playing
Speaker 12: baseball since eighteen ninety in the National League, we've only
Speaker 12: had one perfect game. September the ninth, nineteen sixty five.
Speaker 12: Sandy pitched it. So the greatest pitcher in our history
Speaker 12: pitched the only perfect game. And oh, by the way,
Speaker 12: Bob Henley of the Chicago Cubs only allowed one hit
Speaker 12: and one walk, and the hit had nothing to do
Speaker 12: with the scoring, so it could have been a double
Speaker 12: no hitter. So that night was just one of those
Speaker 12: pitching for the ages. Bob Henley versus Sandy Kolfe's.
Speaker 8: Mark Langel Dodger team Historing is joining us and on
Speaker 8: Friday night, Mark Dusty Baker will be honored. He was
Speaker 8: my favorite Dodger growing up. He captured the imagination of
Speaker 8: so many young Dodger fans. How special is it finally
Speaker 8: to have I guess, not closure, but full circle for
Speaker 8: Dusty on Friday.
Speaker 12: It's definitely full circle because I remember the struggles that
Speaker 12: he went through.
Speaker 10: In nineteen seventy six. He hits a home run.
Speaker 12: On opening Day and then they only hits three more
Speaker 12: because he's got knee problems. Tommy Lesorda comes along in
Speaker 12: nineteen seventy seven.
Speaker 10: I believe in you.
Speaker 12: You're my guy, You're my left fielder. And just imagine
Speaker 12: you're going into that final week end of the season.
Speaker 12: The other three Ron Say, Reggie Smith and Steve Garvey
Speaker 12: have their thirty home runs and you're gonna face JR.
Speaker 12: Richard on Sunday the final regular season game. And my
Speaker 12: favorite story from that, Reggie Smith actually called the Houston
Speaker 12: dugout in front of Dusty and said, let me talk
Speaker 12: to Jr. And he said, I'm gonna He's gonna do
Speaker 12: it against you, and Dusty's in the background going no, no,
Speaker 12: don't say that don't say that, And it all comes
Speaker 12: down to the final at bat, and Dusty remembers Tommy
Speaker 12: giving him the rob Ross speech, something about Moses and
Speaker 12: the partying into the Red Sea, and to be able
Speaker 12: to hit that home run on the last day as
Speaker 12: a kid, for me, I'm in middle school. I wanted
Speaker 12: him to do that so bad. And then afterwards for
Speaker 12: them to be able to all tip their caps and
Speaker 12: the first thirty home run quartet and now it's like
Speaker 12: Mount Rushmore. They were the first to do it, and
Speaker 12: Dodger fans in seventy seven will never forget that quartet.
Speaker 8: This might be the first time they've been together at
Speaker 8: the same place at the same time at Dodger Stadium
Speaker 8: in a while.
Speaker 12: Absolutely, and John Sue, who are a great team photographer
Speaker 12: who's been here forever, said he's never shot Dusty in
Speaker 12: a Dodger uniform because if you think of it, when
Speaker 12: Dusty left, When Dusty leaves in the mid eighties, only
Speaker 12: he goes to the Giants, he goes through the A's,
Speaker 12: he goes to the Reds and Cubs, and so this
Speaker 12: is a great homecoming. Dusty would always participate in pregame
Speaker 12: ceremonies if we had a bobblehead or things like that.
Speaker 12: But to be able to see Dusty in a Dodger uniform,
Speaker 12: it's a wonderful sight. But Dodger fans have to turn
Speaker 12: back the clock to the nineteen seventies and early eighties
Speaker 12: to actually see Johnny B in a Dodger uniform number
Speaker 12: twelve like his boyhood idol.
Speaker 8: Tommy Davis can't wait. It's gonna be a great alumni weekend.
Speaker 8: Mark Langel. We're so happy you're doing well. You're a
Speaker 8: treasure yourself to the Dodgers. Thanks a lot for the time, my.
Speaker 10: Pleasure, David, thank you. Always good to be with you.
Speaker 8: Oh there he goes the man, Mark Langel, still being
Speaker 8: able to charm all of us. We'll send it back
Speaker 8: to you in the studio.
Speaker 3: Tim, all right, thanks a lot, DV.
Speaker 2: Great to go back into Dodger history with Mark. Appreciate
Speaker 2: that Dodgers baseball. But to my Shaky's Pizza Parlor, the

Speaker 1: look at the pitching.

Speaker 2: Tyler Phillips on the mound three and one with a
Speaker 2: four thirty nine ERA, twenty six year old right hander.
Speaker 2: Former sixteenth round pick of the Rangers in twenty fifteen,
Speaker 2: he was our Minor League Pitcher of the Year in
Speaker 2: twenty eighteen. He's now pitching for his hometown team. He
Speaker 2: grew up seven and a half miles away from Citizens
Speaker 2: Bank Park, just outside of Philadelphia, across the river in
Speaker 2: New Jersey, there was a sinker, a sweeper forcing fastball
Speaker 2: on the occasional Curveball made his major league debut this season,
Speaker 2: in fact, last month, making his fifth start, sixth appearance
Speaker 2: last time out, got roughed up by the Mariners and
Speaker 2: inning in two thirds, eight runs, five hits, including three
Speaker 2: home runs. Tonight's his first time facing the Dodgers. Gavin
Speaker 2: Stone on the Mountain nine and five with a three
Speaker 2: sixty three ERA. Twenty five year old right hitter making
Speaker 2: his twenty first start of this season. He tossed six
Speaker 2: plus innings in ten of his twenty starts this year.
Speaker 2: Last time out, four innings, five runs, eight hits, five
Speaker 2: strikeouts and a loss to the ace, so he's looking
Speaker 2: to bounce back after a really good first half of
Speaker 2: the season. He's making his second start against the Phillies
Speaker 2: this year, after delivering four and two third innings back
Speaker 2: on July tenth the Citizens Bank Park, where he took
Speaker 2: the loss after giving up four earned runs on nine hits.
Speaker 2: He's still looking for his first win against them. Zh
Speaker 2: to one and two career starts at eight thirty one ERRA.
Speaker 2: Gavin Stone, Tyler Phillips, Dodgers Phillies. We're fifteen minutes away

Speaker 2: fans and Hancher listening experienced by downloading the iHeartRadio app

Speaker 2: Health Plans serving all Angelinos lacare dot Org. All right,
Speaker 2: before first pitch, let's head back out to the bill.
Speaker 2: Stephen Nelson Rick Monday.
Speaker 4: Guys, Thank you, Tim. Dodgers and Phillies' final game of
Speaker 4: this three game series. The Dodgers have an off day
Speaker 4: on Thursday before or the other Pennsylvania team comes to town,
Speaker 4: the Pirates this weekend. Gavin Stone starting tonight Rick Monday.
Speaker 4: He's nine to five with a three six three ERA.
Speaker 4: Those season numbers really strong for the rookie Gavin Stone.
Speaker 4: He has been terrific this year, but the last month
Speaker 4: has been really difficult.
Speaker 6: Well, they've been difficult, and they've been difficult early on.
Speaker 6: When you look in at the ban first of all,
Speaker 6: first batter of an inning hitting at three thirty six,
Speaker 6: that's the highest average of a starting pitcher in baseball.
Speaker 6: The other part, too, is first pitch of an advent,
Speaker 6: it's a four to ten batting average. Is there a
Speaker 6: pattern that he has fallen into that maybe people are
Speaker 6: paying attention to. Don't really know the answer to that.
Speaker 6: If you look at the Dodgers, they have one complete game. However,
Speaker 6: in the positive standpoint, who's that from, Well that was
Speaker 6: Gavin Stone had the complete game. To shut out one
Speaker 6: thing about it. He's not afraid to pitch, and we'll
Speaker 6: find out if that change up is working with perfection.
Speaker 6: First of all, he throws out a high percentage of time.
Speaker 6: And then if we look at the Phillies, they have
Speaker 6: some guys that don't particularly handle the change up well
Speaker 6: right at the stop. Right at the time I should
Speaker 6: say is that Schwarber trade Turner and Bryce Harper along
Speaker 6: with Nick Castianos. There's four guys in their lineup diffrom
Speaker 6: time to time. That change up is a little bit
Speaker 6: strange for them.
Speaker 4: The Phillies got the stone in Philadelphia, there were some
Speaker 4: tough defense behind Gavin. To be fair to him, in
Speaker 4: that start at Citizens Bank Park. He'll try to get
Speaker 4: him back here tonight and they'll have they go Rojas
Speaker 4: behind him back at short. First game for Mickey Row
Speaker 4: since July the twenty, first activated off the injured list today,
Speaker 4: Dodgers and Phillies three of three. When we talk to you.
Speaker 2: Next, all right, Dodgers going to play it now with
Speaker 2: a three and a half game of lead over the
Speaker 2: Arizona Diamondbacks, who have won their fourth in a row
Speaker 2: eight of ten. The Padres meanwhile taking on the Pirates.
Speaker 2: They're in the bottom half of the ninth and eight
Speaker 2: at P and C Park in Pittsburgh. The Pirates have
Speaker 2: the bases loaded and a chance to get a walk
Speaker 2: off win with the game tied six to six and
Speaker 2: one out. That can help out the Dodgers because the
Speaker 2: Padres four games back. But hey, Dodgers need to take
Speaker 2: care of business. Keep winning and it'll take care of itself.
Speaker 2: Dodgers Phillies, Gavin Stone on the mount when we come back.
Speaker 2: First pitch is next. I'm Tim Katson. This is Los
Speaker 2: Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.
