Speaker 7: it was show Hey Otani getting the start, the right
Speaker 7: hander making his third start in a Dodger uniform. The
Speaker 7: first two outings he went one inning a piece. Yesterday
Speaker 7: he was expected to go more and he did two innings,
Speaker 7: no runs, one hit, one walk, one strikeout. He threw
Speaker 7: twenty seven pitches. He even hit one hundred and two
Speaker 7: miles an hour on the radar gun. He looked great
Speaker 7: in his third outing in a Dodger uniform. He turned
Speaker 7: it over to Benksparaus, who was battling.
Speaker 1: A bit of the flu.
Speaker 7: Had the chills, had a fever the night before at
Speaker 7: the team hotel.
Speaker 1: He woke up said he was good to go.
Speaker 7: He went four Indians, but gave up six runs on
Speaker 7: eight hits, struck out four through seventy five pitches. Mckel
Speaker 7: garcias two run double in the third made it a
Speaker 7: two nineteen Royals lead. In the fifth, they would tack
Speaker 7: on four more, including a Vinnie Pascentino three run home run,
Speaker 7: as the Royals.
Speaker 1: Led it six to nothing.
Speaker 7: It remained that way all the way to the seventh inning,
Speaker 7: and the Dodgers offense couldn't do anything until the seventh
Speaker 7: inning when Freddy Freeman went deep.
Speaker 8: Now two to one and Freddie swings and hammers won
Speaker 8: the center field is bell heading back to the wall,
Speaker 8: he looks up it is gone a home run for Freeman.
Speaker 8: Freddie's got a solo homer, his first home run since
Speaker 8: May eleventh at Arizona, and the Dodgers get on the
Speaker 8: board at six to one.
Speaker 7: Freddy Freeman with the solo home run forty one games
Speaker 7: without a home run for Freddy, that is his tenth
Speaker 7: of the year. They got the Dodgers on the board
Speaker 7: down six to one. The bottom of the inning, though,
Speaker 7: back came the Royals with three more including if Any
Speaker 7: Pascentino two run double, Salvador Perez and RBI double.
Speaker 1: Nine to one.
Speaker 7: Royals led the Dodgers and the ninth inning to the
Speaker 7: top of the inning. Miguel Rojas was out to pitch
Speaker 7: for the Dodgers the bottom of the orbit. At the
Speaker 7: top of the ninth inning, the Dodgers offense got going
Speaker 7: with Max Munsey getting it started.
Speaker 8: Nine to one. Royals leaded. There comes the pitch to Monsey.
Speaker 8: These swings and lines it the right. That's a base hit.
Speaker 8: Here comes Kim in the score. Everybody stops going station
Speaker 8: to station. It's a two out RBI single for Max Monsey,
Speaker 8: his second hit of the afternoon.
Speaker 3: He's two for four and.
Speaker 2: Monsey just continues to just absolutely pound the baseball.
Speaker 8: Well in the last five games. That's his sixteenth RBI.
Speaker 7: Max Munsey the RBI single, Dodgers down nine to two
Speaker 7: in the top half of the ninth inning, and then
Speaker 7: key Ky Hernandez a two run single. Though look now
Speaker 7: the Dodgers are down nine to four. Then Andy pat
Speaker 7: has an RBI single that made it a nine five game.
Speaker 7: Dodgers runners on from Michael Confordo, who grounded out with
Speaker 7: two outs to end the game.
Speaker 1: In the threat. Dodgers with four in the top of
Speaker 1: the ninth.
Speaker 7: Made it interesting, but the Royals get the win nine
Speaker 7: to five. Seth Lugo the victory. Ben Casparagus gets the loss.
Speaker 7: Dodgers snapped their five game winning streak. Now fifty two
Speaker 7: and thirty two on this season. They remain six games
Speaker 7: up in the Padres in the NL West, six and
Speaker 7: a half games up on the San Francisco Giants and
Speaker 7: today the rubber game of this three game series.
Speaker 1: Luke Trevino will be the opener.
Speaker 7: When it gets underway, we will start in a weather
Speaker 7: delay though in Kansas City. Right now we head out
Speaker 7: to the Galpamotors broadcast booth and as we welcome in
Speaker 7: Tim Neverritt and Rick Monday.
Speaker 3: Guys, Tim, thank you very much.
Speaker 8: We get you ready for the game today here in
Speaker 8: Kansas City, the final game of this three game set,
Speaker 8: last game of the six game road trip to Dodgers
Speaker 8: four and one in the previous five games. Thunderstorms rolled
Speaker 8: through Kansas City this morning rained to the early afternoon
Speaker 8: here today, and we should be okay and on time
Speaker 8: to play as the Dodgers will send lou Trevino to
Speaker 8: the mound as an opener. He is three to zero
Speaker 8: with a four to zero six earn run average. Chris
Speaker 8: Bubach will go for the Royals. He is six and
Speaker 8: five the left handed with a two eighteen earned run average.
Speaker 8: Justin Robleski expected to come in and pitch most of
Speaker 8: the innings after Trevino is out. Dodgers did make a
Speaker 8: roster move today designating for assignment Luis Garcia, who pitched
Speaker 8: in the last two straight games. Noah Davis, who is
Speaker 8: here on the taxi squad, has been activated and he
Speaker 8: will be in the bullpen. Dodgers losing yesterday Mo nine
Speaker 8: to five, but it was much worse than that score
Speaker 8: would indicate, because the Dodgers put four up in the
Speaker 8: top of the nineteen.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 2: One good thing that it did come out of it
Speaker 2: is it Freddy Freeman. And I made mention actually in
Speaker 2: the pregame shows that I've seen better swings from Freddy Freeman.
Speaker 2: I thought, well, he get a few hits. Well, he
Speaker 2: had three hits all, so I had a couple of
Speaker 2: walks and hit his first home run since the eleventh
Speaker 2: of May. That's the good news. It was predetermined that
Speaker 2: Freeman was not going to be in the line of today,
Speaker 2: so Freddy was on one of the later buses coming
Speaker 2: today and he's not going to be their kick. Hernanez
Speaker 2: would be at first base at least at the beginning
Speaker 2: of the ballgame. But this is a ball club. Two Now,
Speaker 2: if you look at the Dodgers having won fourteen to
Speaker 2: the last nineteen games, and they start today six in
Speaker 2: front of San Diego, six and a half now in
Speaker 2: front of San Francisco.
Speaker 8: So show Haltani yesterday pitching today, He's just going to
Speaker 8: hit show Hey through the fastest pitch of his career yesterday,
Speaker 8: one hundred and one point seven miles per hour. Dave
Speaker 8: Roberts a short time ago was asked how show Hey
Speaker 8: is feeling today. He said he hasn't talked to him yet,
Speaker 8: but he did talk to the trainers and he said
Speaker 8: he came out of it all right, but they're going
Speaker 8: to wait and see as far as when his next
Speaker 8: start is.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's going to be I think amazing. Everybody kind
Speaker 2: of anticipates exactly what's going to be happening. I thought
Speaker 2: his transition yesterday because I mean comment when I saw
Speaker 2: him get his eight warm up pitches as he took
Speaker 2: the mound in the bottom of the first inning, he
Speaker 2: only threw three strikes, did not throw strike with a
Speaker 2: breaking bowl, had the inconsistency with the curve bull and
Speaker 2: the slider in the first inning, even though he got
Speaker 2: the big double play gun out of it, only one
Speaker 2: base hit in that opening frame. Second inning, he was
Speaker 2: a different guy. He nailed everything, including the velocity, the
Speaker 2: curve bull and the slider. And we also saw a
Speaker 2: very good splitter.
Speaker 8: Very good, so two innings for him. That was a
Speaker 8: silver lining in the game yesterday. Today, Kei Key Hernandez
Speaker 8: starting at first, Miguel Rojas starting at second, both right
Speaker 8: handed hitters, and Dave telling the press a short time
Speaker 8: ago that he wants to get those two players, in
Speaker 8: particular as many advanced as he can against left handed pitcher.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 2: The other part too, is that Tommy Edmund will be
Speaker 2: in center field, and that's good news because that means
Speaker 2: that his ankle that they have been concerned about is
Speaker 2: now getting better to where he can play in center field,
Speaker 2: play in the outfield. We mentioned this yesterday. We mentioned
Speaker 2: it also in Denver in Colorado, they talked about a
Speaker 2: huge field.
Speaker 5: It is.
Speaker 2: Oh, there's more square footage in the playing surface here
Speaker 2: in Kansas City than even in kous Field. So it
Speaker 2: helps to have two very good ankles to cover ground
Speaker 2: in the outfield.
Speaker 8: Today is the salute to the Negro Leagues game here
Speaker 8: at Kansas City. The Dodgers will be wearing caps from
Speaker 8: the Brooklyn Dodgers, while the Royals will be honoring the
Speaker 8: Kansas City Monarchs and Bob Kendrick, who is the president
Speaker 8: of the Negro League's Museum here in Kansas City. We
Speaker 8: talked to him yesterday for quite a bit. He will
Speaker 8: be on the pregame with David Vasek, and they're.
Speaker 2: Talking about a brand new building in replacing the museum,
Speaker 2: which is already terrific. And every ball club should go
Speaker 2: through there at least once every trip.
Speaker 5: That's a great trip.
Speaker 8: Dodgers fifty two and thirty two, the Royals thirty nine
Speaker 8: and forty four, first pitch on the way to all.
Speaker 7: Right, we will start in a weather delay schedule for
Speaker 7: eleven ten Pacific, but there's weather in Kansas City, so
Speaker 7: we will start in a rain delay until it passes through,
Speaker 7: which it will, and then we'll get this series finale
Speaker 7: in from Kaufman Stadium. As we cut you down, Dodger fans,

Speaker 7: the game will not start in time.
Speaker 1: From Kansas City.
Speaker 6: He's the LA Dodgers Injury.
Speaker 7: Report presented by UCLA Healthy Official medical partner of the
Speaker 7: Los Angeles Dodgers. Tony Gonslin on the sixty day IL
Speaker 7: with the right elbow soreness. Tyler Glass now on the
Speaker 7: IL with shoulder inflammation. He has made two Minor league
Speaker 7: rehab starts in Oklahoma City. Dave Roberts yesterday alluding to
Speaker 7: a third is in store for Tyler Glass now before
Speaker 7: they re evaluate him in coming back to the Dodgers' rotation.
Speaker 7: Blake Snell on the IL with the shoulder inflammation. He
Speaker 7: threw yesterday at Dodger Stadium at bullpen session Blake tring
Speaker 7: and also yesterday at Dodger Stadium with the team away
Speaker 7: in Kansas City through in front of coaches. He is
Speaker 7: recovering from right forearm tightness. A rookie Sasaki on the
Speaker 7: IL continues to progress. He's out with the right shoulder impingement.
Speaker 7: Bruce dar Graterol still trying to figure out when an
Speaker 7: Eta is for him to return, but on the il
Speaker 7: all season with the right place shoulder injury. All Right,
Speaker 7: we head back out to Kansas City and hear from
Speaker 7: the Dodger manager.
Speaker 1: Any questions for Dave?
Speaker 5: Dave? Can you just describe Dave? Can you talk about
Speaker 5: the pressure.
Speaker 6: In the dugouts with Dave Robberts?
Speaker 4: Dave, you got a bullpen game today? Is that a
Speaker 4: better case scenario considering the weather right now?
Speaker 9: Yeah, you know, it's a little kind of we're in
Speaker 9: a holding pattern right now. Hopefully we start on time,
Speaker 9: but yeah, having Lou open for us, obviously you don't
Speaker 9: have to get that starter as much time before.
Speaker 5: So I feel good about that.
Speaker 9: And obviously Robo is going to take the bulk of
Speaker 9: the game and we see where we go from there.
Speaker 4: How did the conversation go with Freddy? He seemed to
Speaker 4: concede after the game yesterday.
Speaker 9: Yeah, no, I think that sticking with kind of the
Speaker 9: plan that we have talked about and not be in
Speaker 9: reactionary over a game is the best way to go
Speaker 9: about it.
Speaker 5: It was good to see him get on base five times.
Speaker 9: Feel good, and you know, the mind the body taking
Speaker 9: a couple of days.
Speaker 5: I think there's only upside.
Speaker 10: With the hay song kind of falling up on yesterday,
Speaker 10: with Tommy being able to play the outfield, Do you
Speaker 10: think that opens up more playing time for him being
Speaker 10: able to play at second, like a position that he's
Speaker 10: you know, more comfortable at.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I do.
Speaker 9: I think that, you know, as we look out, I
Speaker 9: think that picking days because Tommy can now we feel
Speaker 9: good about Tommy playing the outfield, giving Tail a day
Speaker 9: here there, giving Andy a day here or there just
Speaker 9: kind of opens things up for hay Soong. So yeah,
Speaker 9: I think that's a good thing.
Speaker 10: Are there things he's still kind of like adjusting to
Speaker 10: at the big league level with this swing, even with
Speaker 10: like this the results that he's had, but just kind
Speaker 10: of like moderating his playing time some to kind of
Speaker 10: allow him to keep getting acclimated up here. Is that
Speaker 10: kind of part of the plan.
Speaker 5: A little bit.
Speaker 9: I think that he is doing everything he can to
Speaker 9: stay prepared, be prepared. He studies all the information that
Speaker 9: we get is translated, and so he's a very good
Speaker 9: student of the game. I think that he obviously eliminated
Speaker 9: the leg kick in spring training and I think that's
Speaker 9: been beneficial.
Speaker 5: He's handling velocity.
Speaker 9: Certainly at times he can be susceptible to spin down below.
Speaker 9: But I think even with that, he does a good
Speaker 9: job adjusting when pictures are trying to do that to him.
Speaker 9: So I see adjustments in within in at bat. So,
Speaker 9: like I said, you know, a couple of weeks ago,
Speaker 9: he's earning more opportunities, opportunities, and he's going to continue
Speaker 9: to get.
Speaker 7: Him He just started once and last week ago.
Speaker 4: Yeah, earning the opportunities, but is it hard to find them?
Speaker 6: No?
Speaker 9: No, we had a bunch of lefties too, so I
Speaker 9: think that we also got to dig a little bit
Speaker 9: into kind of our roster, who's on the roster, who's
Speaker 9: we're facing. So I think I think the one week snapshot,
Speaker 9: I don't think it's fair.
Speaker 7: All Right, There's a manager, Dave Roberts, talking about his
Speaker 7: pitching staff, talking about Shoyotani and of course the plan
Speaker 7: for today with Justin Robleski scheduled to be the bulk
Speaker 7: inning guy for the Dodgers. Once this game gets underway again,
Speaker 7: it will not start on time from Coffin Stadium and
Speaker 7: Kansas City a rain delay there the weather a factor
Speaker 7: today on this Sunday, but they expect it to blow through.
Speaker 7: At what point we'll first pitch happen. We'll keep you updated,
Speaker 7: but it will not start as scheduled at eleven ten
Speaker 7: am Pacific. But we continue here on wrong with Casino
Speaker 7: Dodgers on deck. We will check back in with David Veasse.
Speaker 7: We're leading you up to Dodgers and Royals on this Sunday.
Speaker 1: Thanks for being with us. I'm Tim kase Is the
Speaker 1: world champion Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 6: As we were saying, yes, is Marongo Casino Dodgers on
Speaker 6: deck on the official home of LA Dodgers' Baseball.
Speaker 7: It's the Dodgers and the Royals from Kansas City. First
Speaker 7: pitch scheduled for eleven ten am Pacific, but that will
Speaker 7: not happen. A weather delay in Kansas City has already
Speaker 7: been announced rain and in the area. They have said
Speaker 7: that they are gonna wait to get this game underway,
Speaker 7: wait for this weather system to blow through Kansas City
Speaker 7: before they get this final game of the series underway.
Speaker 7: From Kaufman Stadium. Lou Trevino is the opener. Justin Robleski.
Speaker 7: As you heard Dave Roberts allude to will take down
Speaker 7: a bulk of the Indians. Chris Bubach will go for
Speaker 7: the Royals. We'll break down this pitching matchup coming up.
Speaker 6: But first, joining Tim Kats on Dodgers on deck.
Speaker 4: I accept everybody for who they are.
Speaker 6: This is Dodger insider.
Speaker 7: David d now joins us from Kansas City. David, it's
Speaker 7: the rubber game of this three game set. Freddie Freeman
Speaker 7: not in the line of today.
Speaker 4: No, and that's something to Dave Roberts was considering yesterday
Speaker 4: because they're facing one of the best left handers in
Speaker 4: the American League today. Freddie was struggling up until the
Speaker 4: point of yesterday's game, where he was able to collect
Speaker 4: three hits beyond base five times, including hitting his first
Speaker 4: home run since May eleventh back in Arizona. I had
Speaker 4: a chance to catch up with Freddy after the game
Speaker 4: yesterday and we talked about him breaking out and also
Speaker 4: the possibility of getting today off.
Speaker 11: I've been grinding obviously this whole months. To finally see
Speaker 11: some results after all the extra work and hard work
Speaker 11: that's been going into to my swing, it's definitely nice.
Speaker 11: So hopefully we can build off this Unfortunately this game
Speaker 11: is not a guaranteed game, but at least to step
Speaker 11: in the right direction.
Speaker 4: Dave said that maybe it might be good for you
Speaker 4: to take a day off, but after today, do you
Speaker 4: feel like you convinced him that's out of the equation on.
Speaker 11: No, we have a meeting before the game that I
Speaker 11: was having tomorrow off, but we'll see.
Speaker 1: I would assume it's still stick to the.
Speaker 11: Plan and good a day and then have another day off,
Speaker 11: and then two days in a row. It could be
Speaker 11: good just for the overall body, and then you know,
Speaker 11: head into the last couple weeks of the first half fresh.
Speaker 4: In this stretch, it seemed like you were already had
Speaker 4: two strikes on you.
Speaker 11: Today you were ahead and all the accounts. Was that
Speaker 11: important to the equation? It was, That's not what I
Speaker 11: was doing. I was just trying to get my foot
Speaker 11: down a lot sooner than I have been. It felt
Speaker 11: like my timing has been a little off, a little
Speaker 11: late and started so that was the only thing I
Speaker 11: was trying to do today and some results happened. So
Speaker 11: if it's Tuesday, hopefully we can carry it over.
Speaker 4: It will be Tuesday against the White Sox when Freddy's
Speaker 4: back in the starting lineup, and you heard him say
Speaker 4: it was the timing with his front foot. And I'm
Speaker 4: sure you've heard this before. Tim hitters talk about having
Speaker 4: a strong front foot, having your foot down when you're
Speaker 4: ready to swing, and that's a big timing mechanism. Don't
Speaker 4: forget Freddie Freeman's front foot is his right foot, which
Speaker 4: he had surgery on that right ankle, So I'm sure
Speaker 4: you know time to time, and this one was a
Speaker 4: longer extended stretch right ankle may have been affecting the
Speaker 4: timing of getting that front foot down.
Speaker 7: David is brought to by the twenty twenty five to
Speaker 7: four one to fifty from California's best selling truck brand.
Speaker 7: It's time to see Ford in a new light, take
Speaker 7: advantage of employee pricing through the end of June. Tommy
Speaker 7: Edmund looking at the lineup today, David not at second base,
Speaker 7: but he's back in center field.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I guess right ankles are contagious around the Dodgers.
Speaker 4: But Tommy Edmund was on the il last year before
Speaker 4: they acquired him, and after they acquired him, still was
Speaker 4: kind of rehabilitating that right ankle that he injured. On
Speaker 4: a rehab assignment last year with the Cardinals, and it
Speaker 4: flared up this season when he was running from second
Speaker 4: to third in the second home stand of the year,
Speaker 4: And that's part of the reason why Tommy Edmund's been
Speaker 4: relegated to second base. Him being in center field, Edmund
Speaker 4: told me after the game yesterday, is a great sign
Speaker 4: because his right ankle is fully or as close to
Speaker 4: fully healthy to be able to move around around and
Speaker 4: play second base and play center field. So that's a
Speaker 4: great sign for the Dodgers because Tommy Edmond's value is
Speaker 4: being versatile and being an elite defender at second base, shortstop,
Speaker 4: in center field. So him being able to move off
Speaker 4: a second base allows the Dodgers to be able to
Speaker 4: move Hay Sung Kim against righty's Rojas today against lefties,
Speaker 4: and just be able to move the pieces and get
Speaker 4: so many of their talented players in games more often
Speaker 4: than not.
Speaker 7: All right, David Gray, stuffil check back here with you
Speaker 7: just a little bit. Coming up here on Morago Casino,
Speaker 7: Dodgers on deck will dive deeper.
Speaker 1: You know what this pitching matchup is gonna look like.
Speaker 7: But up next your Dodgers magical moment Dodgers Royals from Kansas.
Speaker 1: City on this Sunday.
Speaker 7: I'm Tim kase Is the world champion Los Angeles Dodgers
Speaker 7: audio note.
Speaker 6: Well, this is Morongo Casino Dodgers Hunter's game on your

Speaker 7: It's the Dodgers and the Royals from Kansas City. Luke
Speaker 7: Trevino the opener. Justin Robleski will take down a bulk
Speaker 7: of the Indians. Chris Bubach will go for the Royals.
Speaker 7: He was one of the worst pitchers in baseball three
Speaker 7: years ago. He has reinvented himself into one of the
Speaker 7: best pitchers in the American League, with an ERA in
Speaker 7: the top ten in the American League. First pitch from
Speaker 7: Kaufin Stadium was scheduled for eleven ten am Pacific, but
Speaker 7: we will start in a way Arrain de lay as
Speaker 7: the weather is a factor there in Kansas City. They
Speaker 7: expected to blow through. The game will happen, but just
Speaker 7: not scheduled on time.
Speaker 5: I go to.
Speaker 6: Hot Dog who wants a hot cod It's time for
Speaker 6: the Hawfey Magical Moment. Ditch Magical presented by Hawby Hot Jogs.
Speaker 7: Ah we go back thirty five years June twenty ninth,
Speaker 7: nineteen ninety.
Speaker 1: Feels like yesterday.
Speaker 7: Fernando allen Zuela taking on the Saint Louis Cardinals.
Speaker 1: It was a night Dodger fans will always remember.
Speaker 12: Fernando Ready in the strike two pitch, his head back
Speaker 12: to the box, dribbling the second Samuel on the.
Speaker 8: Bag cross the first double play.
Speaker 12: Fernando Valenzuela has pitched a no hitter at ten seventeen
Speaker 12: in the evening of June the twenty ninth, nineteen ninety.
Speaker 8: If you have a sombrero, throw it to the sky.
Speaker 7: Fernando Valenzuela with the Noah hitter. He was pitching a
Speaker 7: complete game that day, allowing no hits only three walks.
Speaker 7: He struck out seven against the Saint Louis Cardinals. The
Speaker 7: game ended with the double play. Pedro Guerrero, a former teammate,
Speaker 7: grounded the ball to second base Juan Samuel Field that
Speaker 7: stepped on the bag and forced out Willie McGee, then
Speaker 7: threw it over to first for the double play, and
Speaker 7: you heard Vince Goes legendary call of the final out.
Speaker 7: If you have a sombrero, throw it to the sky,
Speaker 7: one of the most famous calls in baseball history. That
Speaker 7: is our Haffey Magical moment, brought to you by Hoffey
Speaker 7: hot Dogs, haffe So Cow's local treasure for nearly one
Speaker 7: hundred years. Haffey hot Dogs, Local and so great. Will
Speaker 7: we continue here on Dodgers on Deck. We'll head back
Speaker 7: out to the k in Kansas City Coffin Stadium. Checking
Speaker 7: with Rick Monday for leading you up to Dodgers or Royals,
Speaker 7: which will start in a rain delay. I'm Tim Kass,
Speaker 7: the world champion Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 6: This is Marongo Casino Dodgers on Deck on your home
Speaker 6: for the Blue all.
Speaker 7: Season Low Dodgers wrapping up this road trip and Kansas
Speaker 7: City on this Sunday. First pitch is being delayed because
Speaker 7: of rain in Kansas City. Whether a factor today was
Speaker 7: not a fact after in the first two games of
Speaker 7: this series at Kaufman Stadium. But they're going to delay
Speaker 7: the start just to make sure that weather system blows
Speaker 7: through and this game can get underway in kids entirety.
Speaker 7: Luke Trevino the opener, Justin Rubuski will take down a
Speaker 7: bulk of the innings for the Dodgers. Chris Bubach, we'll
Speaker 7: go for the Royals first pitch schedule for eleven to ten,
Speaker 7: but again we will start in a rain delay.
Speaker 6: First and now joined by David Basse. Here's La Dodgers
Speaker 6: broadcastre and World Series champion Dodger Rick Monday.
Speaker 4: All right, Rick, you believed in Freddie Freeman. He told
Speaker 4: us before the game yesterday that even though he was
Speaker 4: hit lists, he was starting to show signs of coming
Speaker 4: out of this slump. And then, well, ah, yesterday a
Speaker 4: big day.
Speaker 2: I got a phone call from a friend of mine
Speaker 2: last night after the ball games, got back in the
Speaker 2: hotel and he goes, hey, did you buy a lottery ticket?
Speaker 5: I would know why.
Speaker 2: He says, well, you predicted Freeman who was going to
Speaker 2: get some hints, and he got three, including the home run.
Speaker 2: So yeah, that was kind of a fun and for
Speaker 2: Freddy Freeman, the first home run since the eleventh of May.
Speaker 2: Didn't really talk to him today, but we were on
Speaker 2: the same bus coming to the ballpark and he's not
Speaker 2: in the lineup. I think sometimes Roberts is kind of
Speaker 2: agreeing that you have to use a bulldozer to hook
Speaker 2: up to a Freddie Freeman to keep him out of
Speaker 2: the lineup. But something they talked about and not in
Speaker 2: the lineup today is a little bit different lineup with
Speaker 2: the lefty going for the Royals. Dodgers of course trying
Speaker 2: to make it two out of three, and David, you
Speaker 2: understand very well the Dodgers like to have happy flights,
Speaker 2: especially going home.
Speaker 4: No doubt, and that would be a great road trip
Speaker 4: to win five games out of six in Denver and Kansas.
Speaker 2: I'm going to ask you a question because you have
Speaker 2: been doing dual roles here in Kansas City, both on
Speaker 2: the radio side and that you've been doing television, and
Speaker 2: I bring that up on the TV because you are
Speaker 2: at the far.
Speaker 5: End of the dugout.
Speaker 2: What's it like down there because normally you're kind of
Speaker 2: perched up in the with the media in seeing it.
Speaker 2: It's a different game down there. I'd want your opinion
Speaker 2: on something I say all the time. The closer you
Speaker 2: get to the field, even as a fan, you understand
Speaker 2: the speed of this game. When you're sitting very comfortably
Speaker 2: far away, it looks like maybe it's in slow motion,
Speaker 2: but it's closer you get, and you can't get any
Speaker 2: closer than what you are in the game down there.
Speaker 5: This game is it happens fast. Yeah.
Speaker 4: And the best example of that, Rick, is the first
Speaker 4: game of this series. MIKEL. Garcia, the third baseman for
Speaker 4: the Royals, has been playing great defense there and robbing
Speaker 4: a lot of Dodger hints. And when Taoscar Hernandez was
Speaker 4: robbed in the first game of this series one hundred
Speaker 4: and eleven miles an hour off the bat, I mean,
Speaker 4: you have a greater appreciation for just how quick catlike
Speaker 4: quickness you have to have at what they call the
Speaker 4: hot corner.
Speaker 2: Yeah. And then sometimes if you're the guy that hit
Speaker 2: the ball, then sometimes you get back to the dugout
Speaker 2: and you yell at the guy, especially if you know him,
Speaker 2: and say, hey, what the heck you doing? There are
Speaker 2: sometimes that you just feel like you have buzzard luck.
Speaker 2: You know, nothing really works for you.
Speaker 4: Another appreciation, Rick, And you experienced this in a more
Speaker 4: extreme way playing in these stadiums with AstroTurf. But the
Speaker 4: first two games of this series, I mean it's eighty
Speaker 4: seven ninety degrees up here and in the stands, but
Speaker 4: on the field you can add at least eight degrees
Speaker 4: to the temperature.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you're gonna have to hydrate all the guy's
Speaker 2: gonna have to hydrate today because the temperature is going
Speaker 2: to be and we're gonna have heat index tonight and
Speaker 2: the humidity on top because it rained earlier this morning.
Speaker 2: In fact, when the ball club arrived, the infield was
Speaker 2: still covered with the tark So yeah, it's going to
Speaker 2: be steamy afternoon. Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate.
Speaker 4: Tommy Edmonds in center field today, Ricky told me after
Speaker 4: the game yesterday, this is about his right ankle feeling
Speaker 4: much better for him to play the outfield.
Speaker 2: And it's a perfect time because it allows Dave robertson
Speaker 2: the ball club to have more dimension, is what they're
Speaker 2: going to be doing, and moving Edmund to the center field,
Speaker 2: it gives you another option to have him moving around
Speaker 2: Kim at second base and it's going to be at
Speaker 2: first base today. It just gives you the depth. And
Speaker 2: that's one of the strong points the Dodgers coming off
Speaker 2: the bench, being able to really manipulate defensively different players
Speaker 2: in different spots.
Speaker 4: And Dave Roberts conceded after the game yesterday as well,
Speaker 4: this is a huge outfield and when you have ta
Speaker 4: Oscar Hernandez and Michael Conforto in the corners, they're not
Speaker 4: fleet a foot.
Speaker 2: In fact, here's a bit of information for you. Everybody
Speaker 2: talks about how large Coors Field is in Denver, and
Speaker 2: we just left there. There's more square footage on the
Speaker 2: playing surface here in Kansas City than in Denver, Colorado.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it kind of feels that way.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I mean it is a big, big ballpark,
Speaker 2: and there's a lot of ground to cover, and including
Speaker 2: some foul territory, not foul territory immediately the lascow five
Speaker 2: six feet down the line, but getting to that line,
Speaker 2: there's a lot of area to kind of roam around.
Speaker 4: All right, Rick, you'll roam around here in the broadcast booth.
Speaker 2: Hey, how about a happy flight back to LA.
Speaker 4: That would be great. I feel it coming. We'll send
Speaker 4: it back to you in the studio.
Speaker 1: Tim, all right, thanks a lot DV. Thanks to lot mode.
Speaker 7: Dodgers Baseball is going to be delayed, as we were
Speaker 7: scheduled for an eleven to ten first pitch.
Speaker 1: That is not gonna happen.
Speaker 7: As the guys were just talking about the weather there,
Speaker 7: it is played a factor. Tarm's still on the field.
Speaker 7: We will start in the delay. That's the Dodgers game plan.
Speaker 7: Dodger fans, you need a plan too, how about starting
Speaker 7: your future to California Community College. Financial aid is available
Speaker 7: to help you in tuition, books, and sometimes even the rent.
Speaker 7: It's time to take that next big step. Classes can
Speaker 7: fill up quickly, so in role today and I can
Speaker 7: go to college dot com. Coming up here on Dodgers
Speaker 7: on Deck, we'll dive deeper into what this pitching matchup's
Speaker 7: going to look like. Tim and Rick will be back
Speaker 7: as well before we head to Dodger Talk.
Speaker 1: A rain delayed Dodger Talk. But up next, don't go anywhere.
Speaker 7: David Vassa goes one on one with Bob Kendrick, president
Speaker 7: of the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum, located there in Kansas City, Missouri.
Speaker 1: That's next.
Speaker 7: As we lead you up to Dodgers and Royals on
Speaker 7: this Sunday, I'm Tim Kasey's the world champion Los Angeles
Speaker 7: Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 6: As we were saying, this is Marongo Casino Dodgers on
Speaker 6: Deck on the official home of LA Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 7: Dodgers and the Royals from Kaufman Stadium in Kansas City.
Speaker 1: First pitch will be delayed.
Speaker 7: Dodger fans scheduled for eleven to ten this morning, but
Speaker 7: because of rain and weather blowing through Kansas City right now,
Speaker 7: the first pitch will be pushed back to TBD. As
Speaker 7: far as win this game will get underway, but it
Speaker 7: will Luke Trevino will be the opener. Justin Robleski will
Speaker 7: take a bulk of the Indians. Chris Bubitch, who's been
Speaker 7: one of the best pitchers for Kansas City this season,
Speaker 7: will go for the Royals. Dodgers Baseball is brought to
Speaker 7: you by Zenchi Sushi. How about enjoying it during this
Speaker 7: rain delay or during the game later on.
Speaker 1: It's quick and affordable meal.
Speaker 7: The whole family can enjoy Zench handcrafted sushi made fresh
Speaker 7: onsite daily by professionally trained sushi chefs with precision passion
Speaker 7: in a tradition. You can taste it in every by
Speaker 7: Hey Tunor Roles, Salmon Rules, Timper shrimp roles. They got
Speaker 7: the platters, They got the mango crunchy dragon roll that's
Speaker 7: my favorite. Of course, they got the polk bowls as well.
Speaker 7: They got different things for different occasions. See it all
Speaker 7: near the deli counter at Ralph's. Zenschi handcrafted Sushi always fast, fresh.
Speaker 6: And easy and now what will likely be vast fielding
Speaker 6: insults from a Dodger player.
Speaker 1: It's an engagement of endearment.
Speaker 6: This is high and tight.
Speaker 4: We're joining right now by a very special man, a
Speaker 4: man that is keeping the voices alive of the Negro Leagues.
Speaker 4: And he is the president of the Negro League Museum.
Speaker 4: He is the best dressed man in Kansas City. That's
Speaker 4: the one and only Bob Kendrick. Bob, thanks a lot
Speaker 4: for joining us.
Speaker 13: Oh Dave, it's great to see you, man, Thanks so
Speaker 13: much for having me on the show.
Speaker 4: Well, the franchise of Jackie Robinson, Roy Campanella, Don Newcomb,
Speaker 4: just to name a few. I mean, it is special
Speaker 4: to come to Kansas City and see the museum.
Speaker 13: Well, and there's a bridge between the two cities because
Speaker 13: a lot of people don't know they did. Jackie Robinson's
Speaker 13: illustrious professional baseball career began right here in Kansas City
Speaker 13: with the great Kansas City Monarchs in nineteen forty five
Speaker 13: in the Negro Leagues.
Speaker 3: Now, he was only here for five months, but.
Speaker 13: As I tell people, the five months he's spent in
Speaker 13: Kansas City, he fell in love with everything that Kansas
Speaker 13: City is famous for barbecue and jazz.
Speaker 8: I love that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Jackie was a big man of jazz and baseball
Speaker 4: and all that. And Roy Campanella three time MVP. He
Speaker 4: was a big player in the negro Leagues as well.
Speaker 3: Well.
Speaker 13: Noah and the Dodgers had a litany of great stars
Speaker 13: that came out of the negro Leagues. Camp He joined
Speaker 13: the team in the negro Leagues called the Baltimore Elite Giants.
Speaker 13: Now it's spelled Elite, but it's pronounced elite because you
Speaker 13: make those negro leaguers mad if you call him the
Speaker 13: Elite Giants. Well, Campy joins the elites as a fifteen
Speaker 13: year old catcher.
Speaker 3: Can you believe a fifteen year old kid catching professionally.
Speaker 13: In the negro Leagues? But as I tell my guests,
Speaker 13: he was not your typical fifteen year old. He was
Speaker 13: a fifteen year old man style, but he was fifteen nevertheless,
Speaker 13: and the great Raleigh biss MACKI took him under his
Speaker 13: wing and taught him the art of catching. And I
Speaker 13: don't have to tell Dodger fans Roy Campanella will become
Speaker 13: a three time MVP with the Brooklyn Dodgers before a
Speaker 13: tragic car accident left him paralyzed and cut short what
Speaker 13: was still a Hall of Fame career.
Speaker 4: When we come to the Negro League Museum and you
Speaker 4: tell the stories of the negro Leagues, are you mesmerized
Speaker 4: as much as we are, even though you've told the
Speaker 4: stories many times?
Speaker 6: Oh?
Speaker 3: Man, this never just old for me. It doesn't.
Speaker 13: And every time I get a young athlete of any
Speaker 13: sports discipline, but particularly my young Major League Baseball players,
Speaker 13: it just fills me with great joy to walk them
Speaker 13: through that museum, to share the stories, many of these
Speaker 13: stories that the lay great Buck O'Neil and other legendary
Speaker 13: negro leaguers shared with me, And in doing so, I
Speaker 13: feel like I'm keeping them alive in my mind and
Speaker 13: in my heart.
Speaker 3: But the thing that I yeah, the threat that they.
Speaker 13: Have with those who played in the negro Leagues israel
Speaker 13: simple love of the game. You play this game because
Speaker 13: you love it. And I know sometimes as fans we
Speaker 13: can get a little fickle because we equate everything to money,
Speaker 13: and so these guys are afforded an opportunity to make
Speaker 13: a great living, but.
Speaker 3: It's still about love of the game.
Speaker 13: They are still playing a game that they played for free,
Speaker 13: and if they had to play it for free, they
Speaker 13: would still play it for free. But as I remind them,
Speaker 13: you will never see a greater example of love of
Speaker 13: the game than you do when you walk through the
Speaker 13: Negro League's Baseball Museum. They had to love it in
Speaker 13: order to endure the things that they had to endure.
Speaker 4: What's the lasting legacy of Jackie Robinson with the Negro
Speaker 4: Leagues and just how special is it for him to
Speaker 4: be not only the face of American sports history, but
Speaker 4: American history period.
Speaker 3: Absolutely?
Speaker 13: Well, you know, we take great pride that Kansas City
Speaker 13: and the Negro Leagues gave a merrit arguably its greatest
Speaker 13: hero in Jackie Robinson. And for those who subscribe to
Speaker 13: the belief that one individual cannot invoke change, well you
Speaker 13: need to look no further than Jackie Roosevelt Robinson. Because
Speaker 13: when he walked out on that field as a member
Speaker 13: of the Brooklyn Dodgers, he was called everything but my
Speaker 13: mother would say, but a child of God when he
Speaker 13: walked out there, and he handled himself with such grace,
Speaker 13: class and dignity. But the other side of the ledger
Speaker 13: is that he was also shouldering the weight of twenty
Speaker 13: one million black folks who were counting on him to succeed. Yeah,
Speaker 13: and that's an enormous amount of pressure for any one
Speaker 13: individual to have to bear, and he did it with
Speaker 13: tremendous grace, class, and dignity. We should never forget Jackie Robinson,
Speaker 13: and Baseball has made it such. The Dodger organization has
Speaker 13: made it such that baseball fans likely won't ever forget
Speaker 13: Jackie Robinson. And certainly as long as that museum is
Speaker 13: there operating here in Kansas City, his story will all
Speaker 13: always be at the forefront. But so will those other
Speaker 13: trail blazers, those who built the bridge that allowed Jackie
Speaker 13: to cross over and for others to then follow right
Speaker 13: behind him.
Speaker 4: Before I let you go, show Hay Otani one of
Speaker 4: the greatest players we've ever seen in Major League Baseball,
Speaker 4: was there anybody like Otani and the Negro leagues?
Speaker 13: Well, the thing that I love about this phenom by
Speaker 13: the name of shoe hey Atani is that it has
Speaker 13: opened up the opportunity for me to talk about the
Speaker 13: great two way stars of the Negro leagues. And so
Speaker 13: when Shoe Hay first gets here to play in the
Speaker 13: major leagues, everyone was saying, Babe brute. But in my opinion,
Speaker 13: Babe Ruth is a wrong comparison. The real comparison is
Speaker 13: to a guy named Wilber Bullet Rogan, who was a
Speaker 13: star pitcher for the Kansas City Monarchs. He is in
Speaker 13: the National Baseball Hall of Fame. But when Bullet Rogan
Speaker 13: wasn't pitching and he was a dominant pitcher, he played
Speaker 13: the outfield and hit cleanup for the Kansas City Monarchs.
Speaker 13: Now let me tell you, you don't just hit clean
Speaker 13: up for the Kasity.
Speaker 3: You've got to be able to rake.
Speaker 13: And in the words of the immortal Leroy Satchel Page,
Speaker 13: in the beautiful vernacular of Leroy Satchel Page, who said
Speaker 13: that Bullet Rogan is the onliest ballplayer I ever heard of.
Speaker 13: I've ever seen that pitch and hit in the clean
Speaker 13: up position. That was Robert Bullet Joe Rogan.
Speaker 4: All right, we got a parallel to show. Hey, Otani,
Speaker 4: I knew you would have the answer to that.
Speaker 13: Yeah no, But you know, I, like the rest of us,
Speaker 13: I'm a baseball fan. We marvel at what sho he
Speaker 13: has done. And it also gives me an opportunity to
Speaker 13: talk about that connection between the Negro Leagues and Japan
Speaker 13: because the Negro Leagues go to Japan in nineteen twenty seven. Man,
Speaker 13: that's seven years before Babe Ruth and it's all Americans go.
Speaker 13: And they've been commonly credited with having taken our brand
Speaker 13: of professional baseball to the Japanese, but it's not true.
Speaker 13: If it was a team called the Philadelphia Royal Giants,
Speaker 13: they go over to Japan in nineteen twenty seven, they
Speaker 13: play a twenty four game ex submission series. They go
Speaker 13: twenty three to one on that tour, and if you
Speaker 13: were to talk to the older Japanese baseball historian, they
Speaker 13: will tell you that it was that tour and a
Speaker 13: subsequent tour by that same Philadelphia Royal Giant that was
Speaker 13: the spark that lit the flame that is now the
Speaker 13: fire for professional baseball in Japan. And it's certainly played
Speaker 13: a role in why we were able to get stars
Speaker 13: such as Hideo Nomo, my dear friend, Ichiro Suzuki, who's
Speaker 13: about to be inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame,
Speaker 13: and of course this phenom by the name of Shohei Antani.
Speaker 3: The Negro Leagues play a pivotal role.
Speaker 13: They helped make our game the global game that it
Speaker 13: is today. They just never were given credit for it.
Speaker 4: That's why the Negro League can never be forgotten and
Speaker 4: it never will be forgotten because Bob Kendrick has continued
Speaker 4: to tell the story of the great Negro Leagues and
Speaker 4: the Negro League Museum Hall of Fame is one place
Speaker 4: that you have to come to and see our good
Speaker 4: friend Bob Kendrick when you come to Kansas City. Thanks
Speaker 4: a lot for the time, and man, the best stressed
Speaker 4: guy in Kansas City.
Speaker 3: Thank you, No, it is my pleasure.
Speaker 13: I want to thank all those Dodger fans who filled
Speaker 13: up the museum over this weekend series. Thank you guys
Speaker 13: for coming by and seeing us. Thank you for your support,
Speaker 13: and thank you for the opportunity to be on the show.
Speaker 4: Hey we love Bob Kendrick. Thanks a lot for the time, Bob,
Speaker 4: and hey we love the stories.
Speaker 7: All right there, he is the great Bob Kendrick, President
Speaker 7: of the Negro League's Baseball Museum in Kansas City, Missouri.
Speaker 1: It is a must see if you.
Speaker 7: Are in the area, and a lot of Dodger fans
Speaker 7: in Kansas City this weekend making the road trip there
Speaker 7: and as Bob said, checking out the museum as well.
Speaker 7: Dodgers Baseball is brought to you by Shakey's Pizza Parler,
Speaker 7: the official pizza partner of the Dodgers Audio Broadcast. When
Speaker 7: it's game day, it's group day at Shaky's dot Com.
Speaker 7: We'll lead you up to first pitch. Whenever it happens,
Speaker 7: it will start in a weather delay. Dodgers and Royals
Speaker 7: will break down what will be the pitching matchup?
Speaker 1: Next?
Speaker 7: I'm Tim Kayson's the world champion Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 6: This is Morongo Casino Dodgers Hunting game on your home
Speaker 6: for La Dodgers Faceball hits.
Speaker 7: The Dodgers and the Royals, final game of this three
Speaker 7: game set from Kaufman Stadium. The rain, the lay is
Speaker 7: real as the weather blows through right now, the wind,
Speaker 7: the rain as we speak at Kaufman Stadium, as they
Speaker 7: are experienced some bad weather that is blowing through. They
Speaker 7: expected to blow through and we'll get this game underway
Speaker 7: at some point whenever it does.
Speaker 1: Here's the pitching matchup.
Speaker 6: And now before the Dodgers hit the dining we look
Speaker 6: at the pitching.
Speaker 7: Matchupresent about your southern California. Toyota dealers work hard and
Speaker 7: play hard at a New Tacoma with an I Force
Speaker 7: turbo charts engine. It's a truck built for the bulls.
Speaker 7: See your Toyota dealer today. They make it easy. Chris
Speaker 7: Bubach on the mound for the Royals. Interesting story six
Speaker 7: and five to eighteen ERA. Twenty seven year old left
Speaker 7: hander out of Stanford made his major league debut in
Speaker 7: twenty two twenty.
Speaker 1: In twenty twenty two, he.
Speaker 7: Was one of the worst pitchers in the major leagues
Speaker 7: three and thirteen with an ERA over five and a
Speaker 7: half in one hundred and twenty nine Indians. He had
Speaker 7: the worst on base percentage against major league pitchers at
Speaker 7: three eighty one, the highest whip, he give the highest
Speaker 7: percentage of line drives twenty five percent, and gave up
Speaker 7: the most walks per nine innings amongst major league pitchers.
Speaker 7: But then he had Tommy John surgery in twenty twenty three.
Speaker 7: It's almost like that movie about the kid in Chicago
Speaker 7: who breaks his arm and comes back and becomes the
Speaker 7: rookie of the Year for the Cubs.
Speaker 1: Yeah, almost like that.
Speaker 7: After Tommy John surgery, Chris Bubach comes back and.
Speaker 1: You look at before.
Speaker 7: He was ten and twenty eight and seventy career appearances
Speaker 7: with the forty five e after Tommy John surgery, forty
Speaker 7: two outings fifteen starts. Since coming back, he has over
Speaker 7: five hundred win loss rec and a two thirty RORA,
Speaker 7: which is sixth best in the major leagues during his return.
Speaker 7: Guys like Paul Skens, Hunter Green, Chris Sale, Jacob de
Speaker 7: Grom also in that same category. So he has been
Speaker 7: a completely different pitcher coming back from Tommy John surge.
Speaker 7: I'm not sure what they did to that elbow, but
Speaker 7: they have made him one of the best pitchers in baseball.
Speaker 7: He was the pitcher of the Month of the American
Speaker 7: League in the month of May. Five starts, three to
Speaker 7: zero a sub one ERA last time out, six highties,
Speaker 7: four runs, eight hits, eight strikeouts, though in a loss
Speaker 7: to the Razes his first time facing the Dodgers. Luke
Speaker 7: Trevino will be the opener when this game eventually gets underway.
Speaker 7: Thirty three year old right hander one and two at
Speaker 7: the two eighty nine ERA. Six seasons of the big
Speaker 7: leagues are really July drafted by the A's in twenty
Speaker 7: thirteen eighteenth appearance with the Dodgers, last pitched on Friday,
Speaker 7: out of the bullpen and inning in two thirds, one hit,
Speaker 7: no runs, one strikeout. He picked up the victory over
Speaker 7: the Royals on Friday night. When he goes, it'll be
Speaker 7: Justin Robleski to follow as the bulk innings guy, and
Speaker 7: he has been great. The twenty four year old left hander.
Speaker 7: He is a starter, bulke inting guy.
Speaker 1: Today. He can do it all and give you some length.
Speaker 7: This is his fit appearings in June, six innings against
Speaker 7: the Cardinals, four to thirty innings against the Giants, five
Speaker 7: innings against the Padres, and last time out five innings
Speaker 7: against the Rockies on Tuesday at Corra's Field.
Speaker 1: So he can give you length. He is a starter
Speaker 1: who was built up.
Speaker 7: He allowed just two runs in his last auting wall
Speaker 7: two hits and striking out seven against Colorado again last Tuesday.
Speaker 7: So to be Luke Trevino the opener, Justin Robleski to
Speaker 7: follow Chris Bubach who has reinvented himself with the Kansas
Speaker 7: City Royals, Dodgers and Royals. First bitch will be delayed.
Speaker 7: We'll come back and get you ready to get it
Speaker 7: out there to Kansas City and get you an updates
Speaker 7: Dodgers and Royals, Dodgers looking to finish off the series win.
Speaker 1: I'm Tip kateson.
Speaker 7: This is the world champion Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 6: This is Marongo Casino Dodgers on tap on your home
Speaker 6: for the Blue all season long.
Speaker 7: It's the Dodgers and the Kansas City Royals, final game
Speaker 7: of this three game set, final game of the six
Speaker 7: game road trip. And what a road trip it has
Speaker 7: been for the Dodgers, having taken all three games in
Speaker 7: Colorado against the Rockies, and they went to Kansas City
Speaker 7: when the series opener on Friday night dropped the tough
Speaker 7: one yesterday to the Royals, snapping their five game winning streak.
Speaker 7: Today's game will get played, just won't start on time
Speaker 7: for those of you tuning in expecting to hear the
Speaker 7: first inning coming up. We will start in a rain
Speaker 7: delay because of whether they're at Kaufman Stadium. A rain
Speaker 7: cell moving through the area and it's a big one.
Speaker 7: It is dark, it is windy, it is rainy right
Speaker 7: now in Kansas City, but they expect it to blow
Speaker 7: through and we'll get nine innings of baseball coming up
Speaker 7: when it does. The Dodgers starting the day in the
Speaker 7: National League West at fifty two and thirty two, six
Speaker 7: games up on the Padres, six and a half games
Speaker 7: up on the San Francisco Giant. The Padres are in
Speaker 7: action right now in Cincinnati taking on the Reds. No
Speaker 7: score in that game, that one is in the second inning.
Speaker 7: And meanwhile the San Francisco Giants are in Chicago and
Speaker 7: they are just about to get underway with the White Sox.
Speaker 7: So we'll keep you up to day throughout the day
Speaker 7: on what's happening elsewhere around the National League West. Coming up,
Speaker 7: we'll have a Dodger Talk coming in between the pregame
Speaker 7: here and when this first pitch gets underway in Kansas City,
Speaker 7: So stay tuned for that here on the Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 7: But when we come back, we will send it back
Speaker 7: out to Kaufin Stadium. Gets you the latest with Tim
Speaker 7: Neverritt and Rick Monday. Find out what the weather is
Speaker 7: looking like, the tarp on the field, the weather blowing through.
