Speaker 2: to get to here on Morongo Casino Dodgers on Deck,
Speaker 2: you're gonna hear from the manager himself, Dave Roberts will
Speaker 2: dive deeper into this pitching matchup. David Vase is gonna
Speaker 2: go one on one with former Dodger reliever Ryan Brasier.
Speaker 2: He was big for the Dodgers the last couple of seasons.
Speaker 2: Now in the other clubhouse with the Chicago Cubs, got

Speaker 2: We got your Dodgers magical moment. We'll get you your
Speaker 2: price double play the day, and shortly we'll visit with
Speaker 2: Kirsten Watson from Sports in LA and Steven Nelson and
Speaker 2: Rick Monday. We'll check in from the Gallpin Motors broadcast booth. Well,
Speaker 2: last night, the Dodgers pitching was on full display in
Speaker 2: a shutout win over the Cubbies. Yoshi Yamamoto got to start,
Speaker 2: the right hander, having a really good twenty twenty fives
Speaker 2: so far, and last night he was at his best.
Speaker 2: Six shutout innings. He allowed just two hits along the
Speaker 2: way wall.
Speaker 1: Punch it out nine.
Speaker 3: You have Mooto just issued a two out walk in
Speaker 3: a full count that ian half.
Speaker 4: He doesn't want to do the same here.
Speaker 3: Seyo Suzuki is on deck, pitch one oh three to
Speaker 3: pay it off against Tucker.
Speaker 2: Sways strike, pray, splinter.
Speaker 1: At the knees and Yoshinobu Yamamoto.
Speaker 4: Heads back to the dugout After.
Speaker 5: His ninth strikeout ends a sixth shutout inning.
Speaker 2: Yoshi Yamamoto went toe to toe with cup starter Matthew Lloyd,
Speaker 2: who only gave up a pair of singles the first
Speaker 2: five innings. In the sixth, though tay Oscar Hernandez single
Speaker 2: to win one out. Boyd then hit Freddy Freeman that
Speaker 2: brought up Tommy Edmond.
Speaker 3: Boyd looks back at ta Oscar comes home. Edmund swing
Speaker 3: tigh five ball left feeling deep. This ball's going back
Speaker 3: is gone.
Speaker 5: Tommy tugs goes halfway.
Speaker 4: Up to pavilion and we are scoreless.
Speaker 3: No more.
Speaker 5: Number six on the season for Tommy Edmond. A three
Speaker 5: room bomb and it's three nothing. Dodgers three run home run.
Speaker 2: From Tommy Edmond halfway up to the pavilion and left
Speaker 2: his six of the season. That ties him for most
Speaker 2: of the major leagues. That is a top tier play
Speaker 2: the game brought to you by ARCO quality, top tier
Speaker 2: guests for less. Dodgers up three to nothing. Ya'm a
Speaker 2: modal left the game after six innings and one hundred
Speaker 2: and three pitches. The Dodgers bullpen then took over three
Speaker 2: high leverage relief going to work. First up, Kirby Yates
Speaker 2: got the seven struck out of pair. He put up
Speaker 2: a zero blake. Tryning got the eighth, a one two
Speaker 2: three inning. The ninth belong to Tanner Scott. He came
Speaker 2: in closed it out, fall game over Dodgers take the
Speaker 2: series opener last night as they shut out the Cubs
Speaker 2: three to nothing. Yoshi Yamamoto gets to win his second
Speaker 2: of the season. Dodgers improved to eleven and four on
Speaker 2: the year, winners of two in a row, and they
Speaker 2: look to keep it going to night with Roki Sasaki
Speaker 2: on the mount and with more we head o Rid
Speaker 2: of the Galvin Motors broadcast both and say hello to
Speaker 2: Stephen Nelson and Rick Monday.
Speaker 3: Guys, Tim, It's a lovely, sunshiny Saturday at Dodgers Stadium.
Speaker 3: The Dodgers have an opportunity to clinch this series against
Speaker 3: the Chicago Cubs, and MO remain unbeaten here at home
Speaker 3: this year.
Speaker 4: They're seven to zero.
Speaker 3: If they were to win tonight, it would be an
Speaker 3: eight no start at home, just the second time since
Speaker 3: moving to Los Angeles. The only other time that happened
Speaker 3: was when they were out the gates thirteen and zero
Speaker 3: at home in two thousand and nine.
Speaker 6: Well, this is a ball club, no reason not to
Speaker 6: and I think right at the top when he said
Speaker 6: a chance to clinch the series, that's basically the goal.
Speaker 6: If you put it in most simplistic forms, that's the
Speaker 6: goal of a team when they go into a city,
Speaker 6: or if they have a team come into their very
Speaker 6: own city, is to try and win this series. Oh
Speaker 6: you like to have a sweet no question about it.
Speaker 6: But if you win the series, you're going to wind
Speaker 6: up with a wheelbarrow full of victories at the end
Speaker 6: of the year and you'll be in postseason play.
Speaker 3: And the Dodgers again last night, we mentioned it during
Speaker 3: the broadcast a couple of times. That win important, not
Speaker 3: only because it gave him a chance to win the
Speaker 3: series and potentially sweep it, but he had.
Speaker 4: To keep pace with this nationally West.
Speaker 3: I mean this division, especially at the top, with right
Speaker 3: now the Giants, the Padres, and the Dodgers. I mean,
Speaker 3: this is the juggernaut everybody thought it was going to be,
Speaker 3: but at maybe a different level than we've already expected.
Speaker 6: San Diego, I think we can agree, really a surprised,
Speaker 6: very talented team. They've grew in that last year. The
Speaker 6: Dodgers had to win the final game of that series
Speaker 6: down there to advance in postseasons. The Giants to this
Speaker 6: particular point, I think, yes, they catch a little my
Speaker 6: surprise everybody. The Giants, by the way, lost their ball
Speaker 6: game earlier today. But the Dodgers, if they continued doing
Speaker 6: some things as they did last night, they played a
Speaker 6: clean game as far as that goes. And for Yashinobu Yamamoto,
Speaker 6: who picked up the victory, went six innings, no runs,
Speaker 6: and only two hits. Those are the only two hints
Speaker 6: that the Cubs had the entire game. And what the
Speaker 6: Dodgers were able to do, and last night's a ball
Speaker 6: game too, was to get the Cubs go out of
Speaker 6: what has been successful so far this season and winning
Speaker 6: the nine games. In fact, they said before coming in
Speaker 6: the series, look, they want to be aggressive on pitches
Speaker 6: in the zone and they want to avoid pitches out
Speaker 6: of the zone. Well, last night they expanded the zone
Speaker 6: and and Yamamoto took advantage of it.
Speaker 3: Yamamoto has really continued his push into that upper echelon
Speaker 3: of starting pitchers in the.
Speaker 6: Majors, and he does it not just with the not
Speaker 6: just with the the splitter. We saw the Cubs kind
Speaker 6: of change gears, if you will, in the first third
Speaker 6: of the ball game where they started to look for
Speaker 6: the splitter, that fastball was just zip by them. Then
Speaker 6: they started looking for the fastball and then went back
Speaker 6: to the splitter again, so you know, I'm a moto
Speaker 6: very much on his game last night.
Speaker 3: And now the baton will be passed to Roki Sasaki
Speaker 3: against Ben Brown, a couple of youngsters trying to get
Speaker 3: their major league legs underneath them. Tim they'll have the
Speaker 3: ball here in Game two, which gets going shortly. We'll
Speaker 3: break down that pitching matchup when we talk to you next.
Speaker 2: All right, thank you guys, as we count you down
Speaker 2: to first pitch. Dodger fans, get your game day meal

Speaker 2: being with us. I'm Tim kase Is the world champion.
Speaker 2: Los Angeles Dodgers Audio.
Speaker 1: Network is Lorongo Casino, Dodgers on, Dodgers on deck y'all
Speaker 1: on the official home of LA Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 2: It's the Dodgers and the Cubs on this Saturday Night
Speaker 2: teacher appreciation night out of Dodgers Stadium. Rookie Sasaki and
Speaker 2: Ben Brown. The pitching matchup, first pitch coming up at
Speaker 2: six ten.
Speaker 1: This is the Otani rewind.
Speaker 2: Well, the Dodgers won last night three to nothing, but
Speaker 2: it was Tommy Edmund hitting the three run home run show.
Speaker 7: Hey.
Speaker 2: Otani went hitless and four at bats last night in
Speaker 2: the series opener against the Cubbies, two strikeouts, snapping his
Speaker 2: consecutive games on bass streak at twenty nine dating back
Speaker 2: to see number fourteenth of last year.
Speaker 1: This is Kirston's Corner with Kirston Watson.
Speaker 2: Hey, Kirston now joins us here at Dodger Stadium. Brought
Speaker 2: to you by Cars for Kids. Ready to donate your
Speaker 2: old car called eight seven seven Cars for Kids Right now,
Speaker 2: friendly agents are standing by to take your donations. That's
Speaker 2: Cars with a K to donate your car. Today it's
Speaker 2: game two of his three game set Dodgers in Cubs
Speaker 2: and rookie Susaki back on the mound against the Cubbies.
Speaker 2: Who's already seen this year?
Speaker 7: Yes, he sure is.
Speaker 8: And you know what, he's coming off of a very
Speaker 8: just quality and impressive start back in Philadelphia. That's obviously
Speaker 8: a very tough atmosphere to play in, a tough stadium,
Speaker 8: tough fans, So for him to have a success he
Speaker 8: had there. Even coming out of it, he had said
Speaker 8: that during that last week before that last start, he
Speaker 8: was feeling a little bit anxious and he was able
Speaker 8: to work through a few things mechanically, because even in
Speaker 8: a start hearing Dodger Stadium, he wanted to throw strikes
Speaker 8: that you know, he's on the mound, he's a big
Speaker 8: time pitcher. That's what he wants to do. But he
Speaker 8: felt like he was unable to do that. So just
Speaker 8: to have more and better commit and of his pitches
Speaker 8: and his last outing. The hope is that coming into
Speaker 8: this one he can just carry that momentum. He's going
Speaker 8: to be partnered with Austin Barnes again, who's behind the plate,
Speaker 8: and Dave likes this this battery just because it's Austin
Speaker 8: has been primarily catching some of his bullpens, and so
Speaker 8: there's a bit of comfortability between the two and it
Speaker 8: obviously went well in the last outing. He's not ready
Speaker 8: to commit to that being the full year thing, but
Speaker 8: just to have him back out there, hopefully you can
Speaker 8: have another just positive outing because he needed it in
Speaker 8: the last one, and hopefully he can keep that going.
Speaker 2: Speaking of positive, a step forward for show hey Otani
Speaker 2: who was throwing it a here dodges d.
Speaker 8: Yeap he was throwing his bullpen. It's funny you can
Speaker 8: always tell something is happening with him because all of
Speaker 8: the Japanese media all of a sudden, like cameras were
Speaker 8: up and they were going, they were shooting towards the outfield,
Speaker 8: and I was like, there's no one.
Speaker 7: On the field.
Speaker 8: That's happening, and then I realized, I go, oh, Show
Speaker 8: hey Atani's and the bullpen got it.
Speaker 4: So this was a big step for him.
Speaker 8: Though he added in a splitter with his pitch mix,
Speaker 8: and so primarily his bullpens have been fastball focus and
Speaker 8: how just the pitching progression goes for him is you're
Speaker 8: gonna continue to add your entire pitch mix. Once he
Speaker 8: does that in his bullpens, he'll start facing hitters and
Speaker 8: kind of progressing in that sense before he gets back
Speaker 8: on the big league mound. But for him to just
Speaker 8: throw in that splitter Dave Roberson, the command.
Speaker 4: Was really good.
Speaker 8: The velocity is still only in that ninety area. They
Speaker 8: don't want him kind of over exerting himself right now,
Speaker 8: but it was a big step. He does still have
Speaker 8: quite a bit of time until we see him back
Speaker 8: in a game. But hey, you know, whenever he gets
Speaker 8: off the mound, it's news, and it's good news that
Speaker 8: he continues to progress the right direction.
Speaker 2: I know people forget, and I tend to forget that
Speaker 2: Shoi Otani's a pitcher and he's still on his way
Speaker 2: back to watch out those Dodgers team.
Speaker 7: Scary to think it's so scary.
Speaker 8: It's gonna be crazy once he gets on the mound.
Speaker 7: I can't wait.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's gonna be a lot of fun when that
Speaker 2: night happens. Bake you, Curioust, We'll check in with you
Speaker 2: after the game. Still to come here on rogo because
Speaker 2: you know Dodger's on deck, will dive deeper into this
Speaker 2: pitch matchup, David Mattie goes one on one with former
Speaker 2: Dodger now comes reliever Ryan but Up next, we'll get
Speaker 2: you an injury report and we'll hear from the manager himself.
Speaker 2: Dave Roberts is the Dodgers and Cubs first pitches six ten.
Speaker 2: I'm Tim Kasey's the world champion Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 1: This is Morongo Casino Dodgers Hunting game on your home
Speaker 1: for LA Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 2: Morongo Casino Dodgers on decontinues on this Saturday nineties. We
Speaker 2: leads up to first pitch Dodgers and Cubbs Morongo Casino
Speaker 2: Resort and Spa a Grand Slam for good times Rookie
Speaker 2: Sasaki and Ben Brown. The pitching matchup, first pitch set
Speaker 2: for six ten.
Speaker 1: This is the LA Dodgers Injury.
Speaker 2: Report, presented by UCLA Healthy, official medical partner of your
Speaker 2: Los Angeles Dodgers. Twelve players on the injured list right now,
Speaker 2: including Blake Snell on the injured list with the left
Speaker 2: shoulder inflammation. Tony Gonslan with the back tightness, is in
Speaker 2: Triple A Oklahoma City, as is Evan Phillips trying to
Speaker 2: work his way back from the right rotator cuff strain.
Speaker 2: We know Michael Kopek is on the men and Wardo
Speaker 2: Henriquez as well. Clayton Kershaw continues to work his way
Speaker 2: back from the off season to surgery. All right, let's
Speaker 2: head downstairs into the manager's room and here from the
Speaker 2: Dodgers kipper.
Speaker 4: Anything Dave?
Speaker 1: Do you think the question for Dave?
Speaker 7: Dave, can you just describe Dave? Can you talk about
Speaker 7: the pressure.
Speaker 1: In the dugouts with Dave Roberts watching the show and
Speaker 1: how did it go? To me?
Speaker 9: It went well, right around thirty pitches, it was four
Speaker 9: sing fastball, two seeing fastball, and his split command was
Speaker 9: really good. Came out of it well, So yeah, I
Speaker 9: think so it's just going to continue to build up,
Speaker 9: build on that, and we'll see where you go from.
Speaker 1: There on the mound. I know, you know, just how
Speaker 1: big of that last out in confidence build are all
Speaker 1: the sorts? What are you hoping to see just today
Speaker 1: and how he carries that moment into it.
Speaker 9: I think, you know, last night was a pretty good
Speaker 9: blueprint on what to do, you know, get ahead, mix
Speaker 9: in both of your breaking balls and certainly the split
Speaker 9: is his primary, you know, secondary pitch, command the fastball
Speaker 9: and fill it up. And so I think that Yoshi
Speaker 9: had really good rhythm last night, and if Roki can
Speaker 9: kind of simulate that follow that, then we should be
Speaker 9: in good shape.
Speaker 7: Talk last night.
Speaker 10: About Yoshinovo and Roki having similar fastball split heavy river
Speaker 10: tours because of that, would you.
Speaker 4: Eventually like to split them up in their rotation or
Speaker 4: is there once a week scheduling that all the working about.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I think that's a fair question, I think right now,
Speaker 9: obviously with the once a week it's kind of in
Speaker 9: the way the schedule of the off days it makes
Speaker 9: the most sense. But when we get into April things,
Speaker 9: that's when things can sort of open up and uh,
Speaker 9: you know, the days of rest for both those pictures
Speaker 9: could possibly change, where then that conversation or that outcome
Speaker 9: might happen.
Speaker 2: All right, there's Dave Roberts down in the dugout talking
Speaker 2: with the media just a short time ago. When we
Speaker 2: continue here, I'm Wrongo Casino Dodgers on deck. We will
Speaker 2: check in with David Vassy as we're leading you up
Speaker 2: to first pitch on this Saturday night. Dodgers in Cubs.
Speaker 2: First pitch set for six ten. I'm Tim Kates and
Speaker 2: this is the world champion Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 1: This is Marongo Casino Dodgers on dech on, your home
Speaker 1: for the Blue all season long.
Speaker 2: It's a Dodgers in Cobs on this Saturday night. Rokie Sasaki,
Speaker 2: Ben Brown. The pitching matchup coming up. We'll dive deeper
Speaker 2: into this pitching matchup. You're gonna hear from Ryan Brazier
Speaker 2: in about twenty minutes. Stephen and Rick will have the
Speaker 2: keys to the game.
Speaker 1: But first, joining Tim Kates on Dodgers on Deck.
Speaker 11: I accept everybody for who they are.
Speaker 1: This is Dodger insider David Bai.
Speaker 7: All right, David.
Speaker 2: Last night Dodgers win three to nothing, Tommy Edmond with
Speaker 2: a three run home run. It's a team full of
Speaker 2: superstars and MVPs. How much does Tommy Edmond mean to
Speaker 2: this team right now?
Speaker 7: He's the glue.
Speaker 11: I mean, from the first game in Tokyo to where
Speaker 11: we're at now. After fifteen of them, Tommy Edmund has
Speaker 11: been the most consistent baseball player the Dodgers have had
Speaker 11: offensively and defensively. You may have mentioned this earlier in
Speaker 11: the show Tim but Tommy Edmond is one of seven
Speaker 11: players in Major League Baseball that have six home runs
Speaker 11: to lead the league. It includes guys by the name
Speaker 11: of Mike Trout, Kyle Schwarber, and Aaron Judge. Tommy Edmond
Speaker 11: is part of that group with six home runs, and yesterday,
Speaker 11: in his third at bat against left hander Matthew boyd
Speaker 11: Is when he hit that big three run home runs.
Speaker 7: You just performed better.
Speaker 12: More and more times you see a guy you know,
Speaker 12: the second time through line up a little bit better,
Speaker 12: third time through the lineup a little bit better.
Speaker 1: And I don't want to say we got to him, but.
Speaker 12: We were able to scratch across a few runs and
Speaker 12: that third time through the lineup, but he just did
Speaker 12: a good job kind of throw out the game up
Speaker 12: to that point.
Speaker 11: And here's the thing about Tommy Edmund. He hit that
Speaker 11: home run from the right side of the plate. In
Speaker 11: his career, he hasn't been that good from the leb side,
Speaker 11: but he made an adjustment during the op season to
Speaker 11: stand a little taller to generate more power. In its work.
Speaker 11: He's hitting over three hundred from the left side of
Speaker 11: the plate, so it's working from both sides for Tommy Edmond.
Speaker 4: David has driven by Ford.
Speaker 7: There's one thing you like, its choices.
Speaker 2: Find yours with the fort f one fifty gas hybrid
Speaker 2: all electric tough this mark can only be called f
Speaker 2: one fifty. Roki Sisaki gets to start tonight David. The
Speaker 2: Cubs have seen him already, but after his last out,
Speaker 2: he kind of feels like maybe he's gotten a good
Speaker 2: page here.
Speaker 11: Yeah, that'll be interesting because when a team sees you
Speaker 11: so close since seeing you the first time, it could
Speaker 11: be a little challenging. And Justin Turner is in the
Speaker 11: starting lineup tonight for the Cubs. He was not expecting
Speaker 11: to start any one of these three games. With the
Speaker 11: right handers the Dodgers were throwing at the Cubs. But
Speaker 11: Roki Sazaki, the last time we saw him at Dodger Stadium,
Speaker 11: threw forty one pitches in the first inning. It was disastrous,
Speaker 11: and his teammates said they just felt like he got
Speaker 11: a little too nervous in his Dodger Stadium debut. We'll
Speaker 11: see whether or not those nerves are there, because he's
Speaker 11: got to have fastball command to make that split fingered knuckleball.
Speaker 11: Whatever you want to call it, get Cubs to chase it,
Speaker 11: and Austin Barnes is catching him again and he had
Speaker 11: a good effect on him in his last start on
Speaker 11: the Pass road.
Speaker 2: Trip, Dave blake Snell on the Andrew List kind of
Speaker 2: halfway through that stint on the IL, how's he progressing?
Speaker 7: When can we see him? Maybe again?
Speaker 11: Well, you could have seen him, I think from your
Speaker 11: vantage point down the right field line on the suite
Speaker 11: level there. He was out visiting with some friends by
Speaker 11: the Dodger dugout look. Blake Snell's dealing with a couple
Speaker 11: of things, his shoulder tightness and also his home being
Speaker 11: broken into in Seattle when the day before he pitched
Speaker 11: on Opening Day. I'm told that Blake's now will be
Speaker 11: back by the end of April, so two to three
Speaker 11: starts and he should be good to go.
Speaker 2: David, this Cubs team, you mentioned Justin Turner in the
Speaker 2: lineup tonight. We heard him on the pregame with you
Speaker 2: last night. What's the feeling you get from JT as
Speaker 2: far as his career, where he's at right now, where
Speaker 2: he kind of involved with this Cubs team.
Speaker 11: Yeah, well, he said he doesn't want to make some
Speaker 11: sort of formal announcement where he gets too much attention
Speaker 11: as this might be his last year. He had always
Speaker 11: told us that he wanted to play until he was
Speaker 11: forty years old. Well, he's forty years old, and he's
Speaker 11: now kind of in the twilight of his career, so
Speaker 11: it wouldn't surprise me that this may be his last dance,
Speaker 11: even though he wouldn't say as much yesterday during the
Speaker 11: pregame show. But certainly he understands the end of his
Speaker 11: playing career is coming pretty close to the end, and
Speaker 11: he seems to be in a great spot mentally. He
Speaker 11: signed with the Cubs knowing he was not going to
Speaker 11: get as many plate appearances as he would with a
Speaker 11: lesser team, but he wants another chance to try to win,
Speaker 11: and the Cubs right now have a very good shot
Speaker 11: at winning the NL Central.
Speaker 7: All right, they appreciate it.

Speaker 4: Show he was over last night.
Speaker 7: He's due for a base hit.
Speaker 2: I say he gets a single, so more than a
Speaker 2: half a single? First, show Hey Otani again. Sign up
Speaker 2: and play daily fantasy sports at price picks Run your.
Speaker 1: Game and now joined by David Basseying. Here's la Dodgers
Speaker 1: broadcaster and World Series champion Dodger Rick Monday.
Speaker 11: Justin Turner is not the only former Dodger to play
Speaker 11: for the Cubs. We got one right here, Rick Monday,
Speaker 11: who played for the Cubs before being traded to the Dodgers.
Speaker 4: So take that, Yeah, take that? Where will it get
Speaker 4: you if you take that?
Speaker 7: Nowhere?
Speaker 4: Just lost and cutoff?
Speaker 7: Yeah exactly.
Speaker 11: I guess the only question as fans drive into Dodgers
Speaker 11: Stadium tonight, Rick, which sazaki are we going to see
Speaker 11: the one that continues to get better or the one we.
Speaker 4: Saw last time?
Speaker 6: Hopefully the one that we saw almost recently, because does
Speaker 6: he's just looked more relaxed that splitter was not hitting
Speaker 6: two feet in front of home plate. It looked like
Speaker 6: he was finally able to exhale a little bit, and
Speaker 6: he looked like he was more comfortable within his own skin.
Speaker 6: So hopefully that's going to continue. The other part of
Speaker 6: the success in last night's game with Yamamoto, First of all,
Speaker 6: he spotted that splitter very very well, better than he
Speaker 6: has recent times. But also the Cubs, who by the way,
Speaker 6: have scored more runs than any other team in Major
Speaker 6: League Baseball coming into this series, they expanded the strike
Speaker 6: zone and that's something that they had not been doing.
Speaker 6: With that nine victory, so they dropped the nine and seven.
Speaker 6: The Dodgers are now eleven and four seven or zero
Speaker 6: at home, and we'll find out what the Cubs are
Speaker 6: going to do with that splitter with Sasaki tonight, because
Speaker 6: if they chase it with a high percentage as they
Speaker 6: did last night, they're going to be in trouble.
Speaker 7: Rick.
Speaker 11: I know, we're just fourteen days away from the anniversary
Speaker 11: of you saving the American flag at Dodger Stadium wearing
Speaker 11: the Cubs uniform. But the Cubs are in town and
Speaker 11: we're there in that center field right now. What's it
Speaker 11: like when you have Cubs fans that still stop you,
Speaker 11: and even just baseball fans that stop you and bring
Speaker 11: it up.
Speaker 6: Well, it's something that I'm proud of. I'm proud of
Speaker 6: the fact for a lot of different reasons.
Speaker 4: I'm proud of the fact that.
Speaker 6: I'm an American citizen and that flag represents a lot
Speaker 6: of rights and freedoms that we have. Now what we
Speaker 6: do with those rights and freedoms is up to us
Speaker 6: and to just to stand by and at least my
Speaker 6: thought and if we go back. I was only I
Speaker 6: think five years out of the unsa's Marine Corps Reserve program.
Speaker 6: Because I was in that program for six years while
Speaker 6: playing Major League baseball, it was still fresh in my mind.
Speaker 7: It still is at that point.
Speaker 4: I thought what they.
Speaker 6: Were trying to do way back when was wrong. I
Speaker 6: still feel that way. They have a right to express themselves,
Speaker 6: but not on the field, not on private property, and
Speaker 6: not somewhere around where someone can do something about it
Speaker 6: in a peaceful way and took it away. So that's
Speaker 6: one of the things I guess. I feel proud at
Speaker 6: the same time uneasy because what I did, all of
Speaker 6: my friends and people I know would have done the
Speaker 6: same thing. Had they been geographically as close as I was.
Speaker 11: Greg, did you ever hesitate or as the instincts.
Speaker 4: No, I was mad.
Speaker 6: I was mad because they interrupted a game. I didn't
Speaker 6: know what the guy had under his arm to begin with,
Speaker 6: and I saw there was something there proved to be
Speaker 6: an American flag. And they came in from somewhere around
Speaker 6: the left field foulpol here at Dodger Stadium. There had
Speaker 6: already been a pitcher two throwned to Ted Sizemore with
Speaker 6: the Dodgers in the bottom of the fourth ding of
Speaker 6: that ballgame on a Sunday afternoon. And I was mad
Speaker 6: because here comes these two guys. We've had other people
Speaker 6: that are run onto the field, either because they've lost
Speaker 6: a better or want to win a better, they had
Speaker 6: too much to drink, whatever it may be, or maybe
Speaker 6: they just don't like it flat out, and you don't know.
Speaker 6: But it angered me and what they were attempting to do,
Speaker 6: because they came into my office, which was the field,
Speaker 6: and interrupted the game. And then we're trying to do something.
Speaker 4: I thought it just took long.
Speaker 11: April twenty fifth, nineteen seventy six, Dodgers Cubs. When you
Speaker 11: tell this story.
Speaker 7: Rick, when you share.
Speaker 11: These memories, does it feel that long ago or when
Speaker 11: you're telling it, is it?
Speaker 6: No, it's just you know, it doesn't feel that long ago.
Speaker 6: You know, I could run faster than you know.
Speaker 11: You could beat me in a race.
Speaker 7: Still.
Speaker 6: Well, you know, adrig Nozalez proved everyone that you can't
Speaker 6: run very fast. But you're you're in there, You're at
Speaker 6: the starting line every day and we appreciate that. But
Speaker 6: it's one of those things that you know in memory. Yeah,
Speaker 6: is coming up the anniversary and you know, my wife
Speaker 6: Barbara and I are going to be doing something special
Speaker 6: next year with the fiftieth and something that we'll talk
Speaker 6: about a little bit later on and coming out with something.
Speaker 6: And had a great experience today out of it as
Speaker 6: signing at Pacific Poems and they had a gigantic American
Speaker 6: flag up behind the stage. It was it was a
Speaker 6: good good morning into the afternoon and it's one of
Speaker 6: those things I love coming to the ball part. Yes,
Speaker 6: it means a little bit more. And when you played
Speaker 6: for both of these teams at one particular time. Both
Speaker 6: of my children were born in Chicago, so it has
Speaker 6: a special place from my art, well, it.
Speaker 11: Has a special place in America's heart. Rick here forever
Speaker 11: part of American history. We'll check in with you and
Speaker 11: Steven Nelson a little bit later and April twenty fifth,
Speaker 11: we'll revisit this a little bit more.
Speaker 1: See David Dodgers Cubs.
Speaker 11: Rick Monday played for both and made great plays with
Speaker 11: both franchises in different ways. We'll send it back to

Speaker 11: one and only Ryan Breza. Ryan, thanks a lot for
Speaker 11: the time.
Speaker 7: Yeah, no problem, man. Excited to be back in LA.
Speaker 11: Yesterday was a special day for you, I'm sure, being
Speaker 11: able to not only get your World Series ring, but
Speaker 11: to have your bullpen mates present you with it.
Speaker 7: What was the feeling? Yeah, it was really cool.
Speaker 10: You know, I didn't really know what to expect, how
Speaker 10: I was gonna get it, or.
Speaker 7: You know, when they were gonna do it.
Speaker 10: But I really liked how they you know, the bullpen
Speaker 10: guys brought it out with some of the pitching coaches
Speaker 10: and Doc was out here and a little more like
Speaker 10: personal I.
Speaker 7: Guess it was. It was really cool.
Speaker 11: So were you surprised when it was the relievers that
Speaker 11: you pitch with last year?
Speaker 7: No, not really.
Speaker 10: You know, like we had a pretty good, you know,
Speaker 10: strong group down there. You know, everybody was pretty close
Speaker 10: and uh but like I said, I'm glad that that's
Speaker 10: the way they decided.
Speaker 1: To do it.
Speaker 11: How proud are you of what those guys, what you
Speaker 11: were able to do together as a unit, because it
Speaker 11: was very unique.
Speaker 7: Yeah, for sure, you know it.
Speaker 10: You know, not having a full staff that was healthy,
Speaker 10: you know, starting pitching wise, and having to have a
Speaker 10: couple of bullpen games in the playoffs. You know, it's
Speaker 10: kind of wild, honestly. You know, you don't see it
Speaker 10: work out very often for teams that try to do that.
Speaker 10: You know, most of the teams that you know, win
Speaker 10: in the playoffs or winning the World Series are have
Speaker 10: three or four, like you know, fully healthy starting pitchers.
Speaker 10: But what we were able to do down there and
Speaker 10: kind of piece it together and even just the team
Speaker 10: as a whole.
Speaker 11: Was was super special, especially in this day and age
Speaker 11: where obviously business and baseball kind of bleeds together. What
Speaker 11: does it say about the character of all of you
Speaker 11: to kind of put that aside and just be focused
Speaker 11: on winning.
Speaker 10: Yeah, Like I said, man, it's a different, different atmosphere,
Speaker 10: different ballgame. You know, once you get to October and
Speaker 10: you know, I think everybody kind of bought into the
Speaker 10: idea and you know, whether you're throwing the first inning
Speaker 10: or the last inning, like you know, just try to
Speaker 10: go and get twenty seven outs.
Speaker 11: Ryan Brazier, world champion last year with the Dodgers, is
Speaker 11: our guest. Okay, I want to ask you about these
Speaker 11: sequence of events Game five of the World Series, not
Speaker 11: only what Walker Buehler did, but what Blake Trining did.
Speaker 11: Can you take us through where you were and just
Speaker 11: what that meant to the team to have Blake and Walker.
Speaker 7: Do what they did. Yeah, so you know, Walker was in.
Speaker 10: I went inside after I pitched and he was on
Speaker 10: the training table and.
Speaker 7: We scored all those runs.
Speaker 10: And you know, obviously the bullpen came in early that game.
Speaker 7: So Walker was like, all right, you got to.
Speaker 10: Stop working on me because I'm gonna go down to
Speaker 10: the bullpen. And I'm like, dude, you're think, aren't you
Speaker 10: supposed to pitch tomorrow or whatever? And anyways, you know,
Speaker 10: he went down to the bullpen, and you know Blake
Speaker 10: coming in and getting outs. But Blake was huge, you know,
Speaker 10: all the whole postseason last year, and he you know,
Speaker 10: I got big out after big out, and you know,
Speaker 10: threw more pitches and I think I've ever seen him
Speaker 10: throw in a game. You know a couple of times
Speaker 10: during throughout the playoffs, and you know, Walker coming in
Speaker 10: to shut the door like he did, you know, after
Speaker 10: after some some rough outings or whatever. Just like I said,
Speaker 10: just getting twenty seven outs as quick as we can.
Speaker 10: And you know, everybody was kind of bought into the
Speaker 10: same idea.
Speaker 11: You know, the visualization I have, the image I have
Speaker 11: of what you're describing yourself. Included is a US aircraft
Speaker 11: carrier and they're sending up all these Tomahawk jets and
Speaker 11: those jets are all you guys, the relievers in that
Speaker 11: game five.
Speaker 10: Yeah, you know, I don't know, you know how you
Speaker 10: want to explain it, but you know it just we
Speaker 10: knew that we were gonna have to throw a lot
Speaker 10: of innings as as a group, and you know, just
Speaker 10: just never wavered on when we were pitching or you
Speaker 10: know what any it was.
Speaker 7: You know, everybody just was ready. Whatever.
Speaker 11: You're a two time world champion, can you tell us
Speaker 11: what they're not?
Speaker 9: It's true.
Speaker 11: Whenever you see those guys that you want a world
Speaker 11: serious with, how close is that bond forever?
Speaker 7: No, it is, you know for sure.
Speaker 10: You know, even guys that I see from eighteen, you
Speaker 10: know that are still playing or I haven't seen it
Speaker 10: in a couple of years.
Speaker 7: You know, it's like we haven't spent any.
Speaker 10: Time apart, you know, being here and getting to see
Speaker 10: you know, the guys here.
Speaker 11: It's just it's been been really cool last couple of days.
Speaker 11: Ryan Brazier is a big sports fan. So what do
Speaker 11: you think about my Lakers?
Speaker 10: I mean, obviously I'm a I'm a Mavericks fan, so
Speaker 10: so no, I you know, listen, I nobody can explain,
Speaker 10: you know, why or how that happened.
Speaker 7: But you know, I hope Luca wins. I'm I'm a
Speaker 7: Lebron fan, you know.
Speaker 10: I I guess, out of everybody still in it, I'm
Speaker 10: kind of.
Speaker 7: Rooting for the Lakers. I guess I'd like to see
Speaker 7: Luca get it in.
Speaker 10: It'd be kind of a big you know, f you
Speaker 10: to the to the Mavericks, you know, getting to go
Speaker 10: and win one. But yeah, you know, I we'll see.
Speaker 11: All right, Maybe I'll get you a seventy seven Lakers jersey.
Speaker 7: I mean, it wouldn't be.
Speaker 10: Against it if I want to get in like an
Speaker 10: adult medium my.
Speaker 7: Son can wear.
Speaker 11: Okay, love it, love it, and you'll try on your
Speaker 11: New World series ring.

Speaker 3: Tc back here With Rick monday approaching first, pitch which
Speaker 3: will be thrown out By Roki sasaki And.
Speaker 4: Moe you saw him In.
Speaker 3: Philadelphia you And tim were on the call at The
Speaker 3: bank against The, phillies AND i think there were some
Speaker 3: nerves for everybody outside Of sasaki going into that. Start,
Speaker 3: gosh it has not been a smooth sailing for him
Speaker 3: to begin his big league, career and now he's going
Speaker 3: into one of the most hostile environments in, Sports Citizens
Speaker 3: Bank ballpark against The. Phillies you can argue with The
Speaker 3: dodgers the best team in The National, league and what
Speaker 3: he did was throw his best game of the.
Speaker 4: Season.
Speaker 6: Yeah, YEAH i wrote down a couple of just, phrases
Speaker 6: if you, will after that. Ballgame he went four, innings
Speaker 6: was two batters into the, fifth fastball was up to
Speaker 6: ninety seven miles an. Hour WHEN i wrote down was
Speaker 6: a much better control and b to your, point he
Speaker 6: appeared to be much more relaxed in that, ballgame and by,
Speaker 6: That i'm talking about a much more fluid. Delivery Dave,
Speaker 6: roberts talking earlier the members of the media, said, look
Speaker 6: he needs to control that. Splitter he's not always going
Speaker 6: to get. Hitters that's swinging a splitter if it's a
Speaker 6: foot or two in front of home. Plate throw it
Speaker 6: with some consistency in and around that strike. Zone it'll
Speaker 6: really improve the rest of his pitches on top of.
Speaker 6: It and that's what we saw him philadelph.
Speaker 3: When we saw more first pitch, strikes which is so
Speaker 3: huge for. Him the numbers bear that. Out of, course
Speaker 3: he's trying to rain in the. Walks this is a
Speaker 3: guy who did not walk a ton of batters when
Speaker 3: he was pitching In. Japan he has walked the world
Speaker 3: to start his major league.
Speaker 4: Career BUT i.
Speaker 3: Think we have to continually remind ourselves And dodger fans
Speaker 3: mo that this is a guy who everybody said needs a.
Speaker 3: Runway he is nowhere near as accomplished or as polished
Speaker 3: As yamamoto was coming over From.
Speaker 4: Japan he is, younger and.
Speaker 3: So there has to be a little bit of, leeway
Speaker 3: some some, slack some rope and a learning curve for
Speaker 3: him to get his major league legs underneath.
Speaker 6: Him, yeah much much less as far as the experience.
Speaker 6: Goes and just watch him after he's taken out of
Speaker 6: the game In. Philadelphia you could just see him finally.
Speaker 6: EXHALE i think he has, realized, yes it's a different. League,
Speaker 6: yes there's a lot of hitters That i'm gonna have trouble.
Speaker 6: With but at the same, TIME i think he's beginning
Speaker 6: to kind of, Understand, hey, LOOK i know my role
Speaker 6: now AND i KNOW i can get these hitters.
Speaker 4: Out.
Speaker 6: NOW i have to challenge him the strike.
Speaker 3: Zone and one thing for The dodgers as a, Team
Speaker 3: tim can take going into this game, tonight they have
Speaker 3: won each Of sasaki's three games started so far this.
Speaker 3: Year i'm going to try and make it four here
Speaker 3: tonight and clinch this series against The.
Speaker 4: Cups all, right first pitch coming.
Speaker 2: Up when the boys In blue play at, home it's
Speaker 2: important to know they have the right plan to protect
Speaker 2: the house At Dodger, stadium where they are undefeated this.
