Speaker 2: four game series at eighty two and fifty five on
Speaker 2: this season, first place atop the NL last after winning
Speaker 2: the first two games in Arizona, the Dodgers got suffocated

Speaker 2: one on one with Chris Woodward. In just a few minutes,
Speaker 2: we'll check in with Kirsten Watson, who is live on
Speaker 2: the field in Arizona, and also check in with Rick
Speaker 2: Monday and Tim nevert O at the Galpum Motors broadcast booth. Well, yesterday, well,
Speaker 2: quite frankly, it was a game to forget. You play
Speaker 2: one hundred and sixty two games during the course of
Speaker 2: a regular season, some games just don't go your way,
Speaker 2: and yesterday was one of those games. Justin Robleski got
Speaker 2: this start, and boy did he have a rough go.
Speaker 2: Bottom of this second inning, the Arizona Diamondbacks absolutely unloaded
Speaker 2: on the left hander.
Speaker 4: Rona at third base, is Carrol Over at first, Josh
Speaker 4: Bell Now Gritchet swings HiT's a high drive to center
Speaker 4: indep going back ker Meyer, ker Meyer to the track
Speaker 4: to the wall.
Speaker 5: That's gone a three run home run for ramdal Richard.
Speaker 4: It is eight to nothing Arizona.
Speaker 3: Randel Gritchik with the three run home run.
Speaker 2: Eight runs scored in the bottom half of the second
Speaker 2: inning off Justin Robluski, and that was pretty much it,
Speaker 2: as the Diamondbacks would tack on a run in the
Speaker 2: third one of the six, two more in the seventh,
Speaker 2: two more in the eighth. The Dodgers offense finally got
Speaker 2: on the board in the fourth inning, things to an
Speaker 2: RBI groundout from Tommy Edmond. In the sixth, they pushed
Speaker 2: across the couple of runs, one of them thanks to
Speaker 2: Austin Barnes.
Speaker 4: And then the next three men went down in order
Speaker 4: and Byrn's lines it at the right field of base
Speaker 4: six coming around third is Edmund.
Speaker 1: He will score.
Speaker 5: It's now nine to three.
Speaker 4: As Austin Byrons comes up with a two out RBI
Speaker 4: base ship.
Speaker 2: Well, the Dodgers will get a couple of there in
Speaker 2: the top half of the sixth, but it was no
Speaker 2: way they were catching the Arizona Diamondbacks. Justin Roblusky, for
Speaker 2: his part, managed to pitch into the sixth inning five
Speaker 2: and a third, ten earned runs, ten hits, two home runs,
Speaker 2: two walks, Michael grow pitching inning in two thirds. Hernandez
Speaker 2: came in and pitched an for the Dodgers in the
Speaker 2: back end as well. It was an ugly one for
Speaker 2: the Dodgers as they lose fourteen to three to the
Speaker 2: Arizona Diamondbacks. As the Dodgers have their winning streat come
Speaker 2: to an end, They're now eighty two and fifty five,
Speaker 2: still a five game lead in the nl WES over
Speaker 2: both the Diamondbacks and the Padres. Today the final game
Speaker 2: of this four game series, and it's a big one.
Speaker 2: Dodgers looking for the series win, also looking to win
Speaker 2: the season series over the Snakes. Jack Flaherty on the mound,
Speaker 2: first pitch coming up at one to ten, and with more,
Speaker 2: let's head out to the gapin Motors Broadcast booth as
Speaker 2: we say good.
Speaker 3: Afternoon to Rick Monday and Tim Neffert.
Speaker 5: Guys, thank you very much.
Speaker 4: Tim roof closed again on this Labor Day Monday for
Speaker 4: this matine ball game. As the Dodgers and the Diamondbacks
Speaker 4: complete this four game wrap round series in Phoenix. The
Speaker 4: Dodgers falling yesterday fourteen to three, their most lopsided defeat
Speaker 4: of the season. Brandon Fock got the win over Justin Robluski.
Speaker 4: The roster move today, Justin Robluski taking off the roster.
Speaker 4: Michael Peterson reliever right handed back from Oklahoma City, so
Speaker 4: he'll be active and in the bullpen. But with that
Speaker 4: game yesterday, that the eight run second inning provided pretty
Speaker 4: much a white flag for the Dodgers and Dave Roberts
Speaker 4: protecting the bullpen for a second straight day, so all
Speaker 4: the regulars should be rested and ready to go.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and you know, Rusque just did not have any
Speaker 6: breaking ball at all, and it didn't take long for
Speaker 6: Arizona to figure that out after the first inning. I
Speaker 6: mean they went to home late looking for fastballs, and
Speaker 6: if you're not getting the breaking ball over, there's nothing
Speaker 6: else really to choose from. And he paid the price.
Speaker 6: He backed up a lot of bases. Ten runs on
Speaker 6: ten it's two home runs. As you were mentioning a
Speaker 6: little bit earlier. The good thing is some of the
Speaker 6: arms in that bullpen, and it has been a very
Speaker 6: well taxed bullpen. They've had a chance to kind of
Speaker 6: refresh a little bit, and Dave Roberts suber expecting everybody
Speaker 6: is going to be available out of the bullpen. The
Speaker 6: big question is how long Jack Flaherty is going to
Speaker 6: be going in that game. He has been a breath
Speaker 6: of fresh air Dodgers in particular in the starting rotation.
Speaker 4: And Clarida needs to be a stopper today because the
Speaker 4: Diamondbacks are a very tough offensive team and as the
Speaker 4: season goes along, they haven't slowed down in terms of
Speaker 4: scoring runs. They're the top run scoring team in Major
Speaker 4: League Baseball. Well, they proved it yesterday for sure, fourteen
Speaker 4: runs on the board.
Speaker 5: But they can.
Speaker 4: Score no matter what. Can they pitch, yeah, they can
Speaker 4: pitch a little bit, but they can really rack.
Speaker 1: Up the runs.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Offensively, they hold their own, as you mentioned, top in
Speaker 6: the run score. They're also second in batting average. But
Speaker 6: the other part too is they're twenty six and earned
Speaker 6: rent average, so they do give up some runs. There's
Speaker 6: no infens but it's about that they're twenty eighth down
Speaker 6: the list as far as batting average against. The Dodgers
Speaker 6: have to take advantage of it. One thing that we've
Speaker 6: seen about Arizona they are a very aggressive team and
Speaker 6: if you give them an inch, they're going to take
Speaker 6: about six or seven.
Speaker 4: If they can an important game today, why well, because
Speaker 4: you can get a six game division lead as opposed
Speaker 4: to the five game it presently is.
Speaker 5: But the winner of this game today.
Speaker 4: Will own the tiebreaker between these two teams and win
Speaker 4: the season series. Six wins for the Dodgers, six wins
Speaker 4: for the Diamondbacks, so important in that category as far
Speaker 4: as a tiebreaker goes for the postseason.
Speaker 6: Ever, playing numbers games and Arizona needs to be able
Speaker 6: to reduce the number that they trailed. Both they and
Speaker 6: the Podres five games behind the Dodgers in the Western Division.
Speaker 6: Dodgers trying to win their eighty third game of the season.
Speaker 6: And if you look at the Nation League Western Division,
Speaker 6: I mean this is going to be very competitive coming
Speaker 6: down who's going to win it, Who's going to be
Speaker 6: the wild card representative? And in the West there's a
Speaker 6: big battle going.
Speaker 4: On with the left hander of Water Rodriguez on the mound.
Speaker 4: The Dodgers have Gavin Luxe and Max Munsey on the
Speaker 4: bench today, Chris Taylor, Keith k Hernandez in the Dodger lineup.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and the lineup needs to go one, two to three.
Speaker 6: Taskar Hernandez has really been maybe the guy's been overlook
Speaker 6: will find out what are the vulnerabilities that Taskar has
Speaker 6: had has been with the slider, and he has seen
Speaker 6: a boatload of slide in this series in the first
Speaker 6: three games.
Speaker 4: So Dodgers with Major League Baseball's best record at eighty
Speaker 4: two and fifty five, five game lead over the Diamondbacks
Speaker 4: and the pod race taking on. They have Diamondbacks who
Speaker 4: are seventy seven and sixty Jack Flaherty and Wardo Robriguez.
Speaker 5: That's the pitching matchup.
Speaker 2: Tim All right, thank you guys, as we count you
Speaker 2: now to first pitch. Dodger fans, get your game day
Speaker 2: meal on at Shaky's Pizza apartment. What are your Shaky's

Speaker 2: So you're o Tani Rewine and we'll head down to
Speaker 2: the field there in Arizona and visit with Kirsten Watson.
Speaker 3: So lead you up to first pitch.
Speaker 2: On this Labor Day, Dodgers and Diamondbacks, thanks for being
Speaker 2: with us. I'm Tim Kaates's Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Know.
Speaker 1: This Lorongo Casino, Dodgers On, Todgers on Deck. Y'all on
Speaker 1: the official home of La Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 2: Dodgers and Diamondbacks on this Labor Day. Jack Flaherty and
Speaker 2: water O Rodrigue is the pitching man Scheff in this
Speaker 2: series finale.
Speaker 3: First pitch coming up at one ten.
Speaker 1: This is the Otani rewhy Well.
Speaker 2: Yesterday was a rough day for Otani and the Dodgers
Speaker 2: as they got beep on the Diamondbacks fourteen to three.
Speaker 2: The good thing today, new day, new game, So Dodgers
Speaker 2: look to win this series. Otani rewind I brought to
Speaker 2: you by Etoa Nzoyo Ja, Japan's number one green tea.
Speaker 3: And the tea that show.
Speaker 2: Hey, Otani loves and drinks available you look Diso stores,
Speaker 2: Amazon and eto In dot Com.
Speaker 3: That's it t O e N dot Com.
Speaker 1: This is Kirston's Corner with Kirston Watson.
Speaker 2: Hey, Kirston now joins us from the field in Arizona,
Speaker 2: final game of this four game series.
Speaker 3: Kirsten Dodgers won the first two.
Speaker 2: Yesterday they got snake bitten by the Diamondbacks. And here
Speaker 2: we are a very pivotal game in this four game series.
Speaker 7: It is, and especially because of just kind of looking
Speaker 7: at the season overall. So if you look at the
Speaker 7: season series of these two teams right now, it's high.
Speaker 7: So whoever wins this game is for some reason the
Speaker 7: Diamondbacks can pipe their way back and they can pick
Speaker 7: up four games at the moment. To pick up four,
Speaker 7: then they would ultimately and they tie the division, they
Speaker 7: would have the tiebreaker over the Dodgers. If the Dodgers
Speaker 7: win today, then they would have the tiebreaker over the
Speaker 7: Diamondbacks if the situation comes to that down the line,
Speaker 7: and once you get to want sixty two. So that's
Speaker 7: an important factor just considering how well the Dbacks have
Speaker 7: been playing as of late. The other thing to consider
Speaker 7: is what the standings are going to look like. So
Speaker 7: with the Dodgers win today, then the lead goes to six.
Speaker 7: If they lose, it's going to stay at four. So
Speaker 7: there's a lot on the line in regard to that.
Speaker 7: I think ultimately you want to really head into septemb
Speaker 7: well or in September, but you want to take on
Speaker 7: the rest of the rest at September with a six
Speaker 7: game lead leaving Arizona. So when you consider all of
Speaker 7: those things, there's that on the line, but ultimately it's
Speaker 7: just you know, looking to win this series. Dave robertsause
Speaker 7: you know he will obviously like those are things that
Speaker 7: you have to take into consideration if you don't want
Speaker 7: to put yourself in that situation. But ultimately, like that
Speaker 7: just seems winning the series. They've seen how aggressive the
Speaker 7: diamondback comes into this entire series. Their batch has been hot.
Speaker 7: But he feels really good with Jack Claerty taking the
Speaker 7: ball today and continuing just what he's been doing this season.
Speaker 7: As long as he uses the secondary pitches, you know,
Speaker 7: goes to that fastball when Nemesy, then he feels like
Speaker 7: he should be in a really good spot to be successful.
Speaker 5: Today.
Speaker 2: Kirsen is brought to by Cars for Kids. The easiest
Speaker 2: way to get rid of your old car. Donate it today.
Speaker 2: Your car could be picked up tomorrow. It's not easy.
Speaker 2: Donate now at Cars for Kids dot org. That's Cars
Speaker 2: with the Cave. The Dodgers want to have the continued
Speaker 2: success in September, they're going to need more starting pitching.
Speaker 2: Y'a'm a modo glass now Kershaw, who are all hurt
Speaker 2: right now?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 7: Exactly. You know, when you look at the rotation right now,
Speaker 7: this was the end of September, I think there would
Speaker 7: be a good amount of concern heading into the club season.
Speaker 7: The good thing is, as much as the calendar is
Speaker 7: getting tight, there is still former weeks and so there
Speaker 7: are guys who are working their way back and getting healthier.
Speaker 7: First with Yoshinobu, so he's with the team right now
Speaker 7: playing catch, but he is going to be finished or
Speaker 7: going back out on his rehab assignment tomorrow. With the start,
Speaker 7: Dave Roberts said, the plan is for him to get
Speaker 7: through three innings, depending on where the pitch count is,
Speaker 7: that hopefully he can do a fourth inning in the bullpen.
Speaker 7: After that, you know, it will be a decision if
Speaker 7: he's going to return to the big leagues and his
Speaker 7: next start being in the big league, he wouldn't be
Speaker 7: fully built up just yet to get through five. But
Speaker 7: the hope is that depending on where the bullpen is,
Speaker 7: if the usage of hides and obviously bringing a starter
Speaker 7: who's gon only get through four isn't best case scenario,
Speaker 7: might make more sense for him to do one more outing.
Speaker 7: But if I feel like the bullpen can get in support,
Speaker 7: he's in a good spot. Maybe he could build up
Speaker 7: walk here, which is also very realistic, then that could
Speaker 7: be the case. I think also just sep to stay
Speaker 7: at their rotation. It does feel very realistic that needs
Speaker 7: to be returning after this next three up there. So
Speaker 7: that's I guess really good news with that.
Speaker 2: Dodgers are gonna need all these arms when they come
Speaker 2: back to be a part of this rotation, no doubt
Speaker 2: about it, curius, and we appreciate it still. They come
Speaker 2: here on Marongo Casino, Dodgers on Deck will dive deeper
Speaker 2: into this pitching matchup.
Speaker 3: David Basse goes one on one with Chris Woodward.
Speaker 2: I'm next, so an injury report and we'll hear from
Speaker 2: the manager Dave Roberts. Don't forget coming up your chance
Speaker 2: to win sweet tickets to an upcoming Dodgers game. Keep listening,
Speaker 2: We're leading you up to Dodgers and Diamondbacks. First pitch
Speaker 2: of one ten, I'm tin cases Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 1: This is Marongo Casino Dodgers hunting on your home for
Speaker 1: LA Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 2: Marongo Casino Dodgers on deck in ten years is being
Speaker 2: lead you up to first pitch Dodgers and Diamondbacks and
Speaker 2: Marongo Casino resorting spot a grand Slam for good times.
Speaker 3: First pitch coming up at one ten.
Speaker 1: He's the LA Dodger Injury Report.
Speaker 2: Presented by UCLA Healthy Official Medical Partner the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Speaker 2: Clayton Kersh on the I L was swelling in his
Speaker 2: left big toe. Joe Kelly on the IL the right
Speaker 2: shoulder inflammation, Tyler Glasstaw on the IL with right elbow.
Speaker 2: Ten to nine is Bruce dark raderol on the iel
Speaker 2: at the right hamstring strain. Yoshinoba Yamamoto on the iel
Speaker 2: the strained rotator cuff is curs to mention Yamamoto and
Speaker 2: the Dodgers pitchers all efforting to get back here in
Speaker 2: September for the stretch run. All right, let's head back
Speaker 2: out to Phoenix and check out the Dodgers skipper.
Speaker 1: Questions for Dave, Dave, can you just describe Dave?
Speaker 5: Can you talk about the pressure.
Speaker 1: In the dugout with Dave.
Speaker 8: Roberts teams excuse us about anybody in baseball statistically and
Speaker 8: hitting the fastball like this does that in a small
Speaker 8: sample of just one series, like coming to play at all,
Speaker 8: when you guys.
Speaker 3: Are game planning and figuring out how to attack.
Speaker 9: Them, Yeah, I think you know, fastball velocity is certainly up,
Speaker 9: and then you bake in characteris that makes hitting the
Speaker 9: fastball even harder. And this team is very good to
Speaker 9: hitting the fastball, and that does correlate to run scored
Speaker 9: and slug and all those kind of things. So I
Speaker 9: think it's just more of trying to figure out how
Speaker 9: to command the fastball, where to go with it, some
Speaker 9: safe places, and when do you use it. So you've
Speaker 9: got to use your secondary So Jack's really good at
Speaker 9: as far as the sequencing part of it, but you
Speaker 9: have to use your fastball, but you've got to kind
Speaker 9: of know where to go.
Speaker 3: How different would a six game division lead.
Speaker 2: Feel from a four game division lead, depending on how
Speaker 2: this one shakes out when you look out down.
Speaker 3: The rest of the way.
Speaker 9: It's big, especially when you don't play these guys anymore.
Speaker 9: They don't play us anymore, so to be able to,
Speaker 9: you know, extend it to six games that's the goal.
Speaker 9: And obviously you know they're playing with submergency, as are.
Speaker 10: We, some kind of tycholegics carry over him.
Speaker 6: Is a good chance you play him again in a
Speaker 6: month in the playoffs.
Speaker 5: As far as ringing three out of four here right
Speaker 5: in spliting.
Speaker 9: You know, Bob, I'd love to say yes, but it
Speaker 9: didn't work out last year. As far as how well
Speaker 9: we played him, I do think that, you know, we're
Speaker 9: playing good baseball, and it just comes down to, you know,
Speaker 9: if we see him again playing our best baseball, it's
Speaker 9: a good ball club over there. Athletics certainly they run
Speaker 9: the base as well, they defend the good offensively. So
Speaker 9: I still, yeah, still want to win the season series.
Speaker 2: All right, there's Dave Roberts down the dugout, brought to
Speaker 2: you by Service Titan.
Speaker 3: Dave Roberts is a Titan in his own right.

Speaker 2: sweet life at a Dodger game in the zinch she
Speaker 2: Sweet Life Challenge.
Speaker 3: It's all coming up. Be ready to.
Speaker 2: Go, and it's your time to call in to lead
Speaker 2: you up to Dodgers and Diamondbacks on this Labor Day.
Speaker 2: First pitch at one ten, I'm Tim Kates's Los Angeles
Speaker 2: Dodgers audio note.
Speaker 1: This is Marongo Casino, Dodgers on Tack on your home
Speaker 1: for the Blue. All season law Law.
Speaker 2: It's the Dodgers and the Diamondbacks on this Labor Day.
Speaker 3: Jack Flaherty going for the blue.
Speaker 2: First pitch from Arizona's coming up at one ten. The
Speaker 2: umpiring crew for today's game, brought to you by Fred
Speaker 2: Loyer Insurance, celebrating fifty years of providing reliable and affordable
Speaker 2: car insurance for you and your family.
Speaker 1: Joining Tim kits On Dodgers on Tack. I accept everybody
Speaker 1: for who they are. This is Dodger insider David Basse.
Speaker 3: All right, DV.
Speaker 2: This is the final game in the regular season between
Speaker 2: the Dodgers and Diamondbacks. And man, this one's got a
Speaker 2: lot riding on it, doesn't it.
Speaker 5: It really does.
Speaker 11: Obviously, the Dodgers are in good position after winning the
Speaker 11: first two games of this series, but it would be
Speaker 11: disappointing to come away with a split after the way
Speaker 11: they were able to rally with a couple of different
Speaker 11: things in play, including Kershaw coming out in the first
Speaker 11: game after just one plus innings. But really, Tim today
Speaker 11: is worth three games, not only the two games it's
Speaker 11: worth in the standing, but also the tiebreaker is at
Speaker 11: stake because these two teams have split the first twelve
Speaker 11: games of their in season matchups. So whoever wins today's
Speaker 11: game also gets the typebreaker if for some reason there
Speaker 11: is a tie in the standings on the final.
Speaker 5: Day of the regular season.
Speaker 11: So essentially, if the Dodgers win this game today, it
Speaker 11: will be six games in the standings, but with the tiebreaker,
Speaker 11: they would be seven games ahead of the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Speaker 11: So this is a very very big game between these
Speaker 11: two teams.
Speaker 2: David Clayton Kershaw certainly on the il with the toe.
Speaker 3: What's the latest on him. We're hearing rumors of a
Speaker 3: walking boot.
Speaker 11: Yeah, he's in a walking boot on his left foot.
Speaker 11: He you know, has the bone spur turf toe in
Speaker 11: that big left toe. So he's going to be in
Speaker 11: a walking boot moving forward. I saw him out here
Speaker 11: yesterday and he was wearing his tennis shoes and he
Speaker 11: was playing catch from about sixty sixty five feet. He
Speaker 11: did not have a walking boot there, and it seemed
Speaker 11: to be he seemed to be walking fine without it.
Speaker 11: But the Dodger said, there is still swelling in that
Speaker 11: big left foot, and we'll see when we get on
Speaker 11: the plane whether or not he's in a walking boot.
Speaker 3: David is driven by Ford. There's one thing we like.
Speaker 2: His choice is fine yours with the F one to
Speaker 2: fifty gas hybrid all electric tough, this march can only
Speaker 2: be called the Ford F one fifty show. Aotani's certainly
Speaker 2: putting up big numbers in his first year in a
Speaker 2: Dodger uniform. We heard a lot about what his process
Speaker 2: was like in Anaheim for six seasons, David, but being
Speaker 2: around him on a daily basis, what's it like.
Speaker 11: Well, this year it's a lot different than what it
Speaker 11: was in Anaheim because for the majority of those six
Speaker 11: years he was spending time between hitting and pitching. And
Speaker 11: from what I understand talking to Dodger players, they say,
Speaker 11: behind the scenes, O'tani really shows a lot of his
Speaker 11: personality and sense of humor. He's a jokester. But also
Speaker 11: my understanding is he is very prepared. Talking to Clayton
Speaker 11: McCullough when we were in Oakland, Tim, you heard him
Speaker 11: say that O'tani really prepares by looking at video of
Speaker 11: the opposing picture on when he can go, when he
Speaker 11: can't go, and in stolen based categories, and obviously does
Speaker 11: a lot of homework in the hitting department as well.
Speaker 11: And my understanding is Otani gravitates towards the hitters more
Speaker 11: than the pictures on this team. Obviously he's a two
Speaker 11: way player and he's great at both. But my understanding
Speaker 11: since the beginning of spring training, he really doesn't gravitate
Speaker 11: towards the pitching group.
Speaker 5: He's usually with the hitters.
Speaker 2: And you can probably do both if you want to
Speaker 2: appreciate it. We'll check you with you in just a

Speaker 1: And now joined by David Basseying, Here's La Dodgers broadcaster
Speaker 1: and world series champion Dodger Rick Monday.
Speaker 11: Rick, I'm not very good at math, but I even
Speaker 11: know that this game today against the Diamondbacks is worth
Speaker 11: three games for the Dodgers because the type breaker also
Speaker 11: is at stake.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you're absolutely right, and there is a sense of
Speaker 6: urgency just to make sure that all things are in
Speaker 6: the basket that you wanted to be in. And quite frankly,
Speaker 6: if we look at this series, it's been strange. I mean,
Speaker 6: kind of three strange games to begin with, but if
Speaker 6: we stop and analyze it, it's been rather strange here
Speaker 6: in Arizona. Let me take you back down memory lane,
Speaker 6: back to the thirtieth of April, and I'm showing you
Speaker 6: the video and how many of us forgot that the
Speaker 6: fact we had that one game that was delayed because
Speaker 6: of the beehive that was attached to the top of
Speaker 6: the backstop the screen, and the game was delayed what
Speaker 6: they called a beekeeper, and we had long delay before
Speaker 6: the beekeeper who got a standing ovation, and then throughout
Speaker 6: the first pitch we finally got it away.
Speaker 11: That beekeeper really milked his five minutes of faint.
Speaker 6: Oh he did, he did a big time and it
Speaker 6: was really kind of fun. When's the last time the
Speaker 6: beekeeper that you know of got a standing ovation, And
Speaker 6: that's exactly what he got here back back on the
Speaker 6: thirtieth of April. So we've had some kind of strange,
Speaker 6: strange happenings in this ballpark this year.
Speaker 11: The first three games of this series, a lot of runs.
Speaker 11: I've been scored ragged.
Speaker 6: Well, let me tell you it's lopsided. Okay, the Dodgers
Speaker 6: have won two out of the three. But here are
Speaker 6: the numbers that you're referring to. The Dodgers have scored
Speaker 6: twenty one runs. They've been outscored by twenty nine runs.
Speaker 6: And if you start to look at runners in scoring position,
Speaker 6: the Dodgers are seven for thirty nine. That sounds pretty good,
Speaker 6: except Arizona is fourteen for thirty two. Most of that
Speaker 6: was in yesterday's game where, quite frankly, Arizona hit everything.
Speaker 6: It was like batting practice to them.
Speaker 11: When you look at those first three games, do you
Speaker 11: feel like that trend is going to continue today?
Speaker 5: If you're the Dodgers, you hope not.
Speaker 6: No, it's going to end, because what a breath of
Speaker 6: fresh air. Jack Fulerty has been since he has joined
Speaker 6: this Dodger ball club, and he puts another wrinkle into
Speaker 6: the mix as far as the starting rotation, because if
Speaker 6: you look at the starters, you know who's available on
Speaker 6: any given night. And the bottom line has been with
Speaker 6: the excessive use of the bullpen as a result of
Speaker 6: not knowing who's going to be in the starting rotation,
Speaker 6: and then the starters by and large have not really
Speaker 6: gone deep into the ballgames.
Speaker 11: Jack Flaherty, like you said, Rick, he's been a necessity.
Speaker 11: He's not a luxury with the way he's pitched.
Speaker 6: Absolutely, you go back to the thirtieth of May, the
Speaker 6: thirteen starts at Flaherty has had. He's nine and two.
Speaker 6: That's tied for third best in Major League Baseball in
Speaker 6: that period of time.
Speaker 11: Here's something you could help us understand, Rick. You can't
Speaker 11: hear from one side that the bullpen is fatigue been
Speaker 11: used a lot and then not allow your starter to
Speaker 11: go deeper in the game if he's pitching that way.
Speaker 11: Do you feel like today Dave Roberts is going to
Speaker 11: allow Jack Flaherty to go as deep as he possibly can.
Speaker 5: I couldn't tell you.
Speaker 6: I don't know. We're around I say this often, We're
Speaker 6: around the team a lot every day. But unless you're
Speaker 6: in that locker room, and unless you're in that dugout before, during,
Speaker 6: and after games, you don't really know what's going on
Speaker 6: with that ballpark.
Speaker 11: Yeah, we'll see whether or not the Dodgers can get
Speaker 11: this win. I feel like it will be a happy flight.
Speaker 6: Rick mondaye oh no, no, don't feel like it.
Speaker 1: Know it's in my bones.
Speaker 5: Live it.
Speaker 11: Thanks Rick, Well, check in with you, David, and we'll
Speaker 11: live the ball game through the words of yourself and
Speaker 11: Tim Neverett. A little bit later, we'll send it back
Speaker 11: to the studio. Tim Kats all.

Speaker 2: with Chris Woodward Dodgers Diamondbacks on this Labor Day.
Speaker 3: I'm sim Kates iss Los Angeles Dodgers Audio nowor.
Speaker 1: Well, this is Morongo Cassino Dodgers Hunting Game on your
Speaker 1: home for LA Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 2: Dodgers and Diamondbacks on this Labor Day, Jack Felarity and
Speaker 2: Arno Rodriguez a pitching matchup Dodgers Baseball is presented by
Speaker 2: Children's Hospital LA. When you need the very best care
Speaker 2: for your child, it's only one place to go. The

Speaker 2: at HLA.
Speaker 1: Or and now what will likely be vess a fielding
Speaker 1: insults from a Dodger player.
Speaker 3: It's an engagement of endearment.
Speaker 1: This is high and tight.
Speaker 11: We're joined right now and by one of my favorite people.
Speaker 11: He was such a big part of Dave Roberts' staff
Speaker 11: when the Dodgers we're going to nlcs's and World Series.
Speaker 11: He went on to manage the Rangers, and thankfully he
Speaker 11: is back in the Dodger organization with that beautiful bald
Speaker 11: head and that clean shaven beard.
Speaker 5: That's the one and only Chris Woodward. What he thinks
Speaker 5: a lot for the time.
Speaker 11: Appreciate it absolutely, always a pleasure, brother hey Man. Always
Speaker 11: great to see you out here. You have so much
Speaker 11: to offer. What's the first three games of this series
Speaker 11: shown you about this team?
Speaker 8: You know what, this team that we're playing obviously has
Speaker 8: a lot of fight. You know, they've played together, they
Speaker 8: do a lot of things really well, they play the game.
Speaker 8: So it's actually been a test for us. Obviously, with
Speaker 8: Curse going down after that first inning, kind of put
Speaker 8: our backs against the wall and the pitch his staff,
Speaker 8: and you know, thankfully we got some horses down to
Speaker 8: that bullpen that took the ball and honestly pitched when
Speaker 8: they probably weren't supposed to and didn't you know, weren't
Speaker 8: really ready to pitch based on how they had pitched
Speaker 8: so many games before that. So it honestly took a
Speaker 8: team effort for the first two games, and somehow we
Speaker 8: came away with two wins.
Speaker 12: Our offense put a bunch of runs on the.
Speaker 8: Board, and it was really cool to see the fight
Speaker 8: in this team against a team that's like they're not
Speaker 8: scared of us at all, which I kind of like,
Speaker 8: it's good for our team. But yesterday, obviously we'll put
Speaker 8: that one aside and we have a chance to win
Speaker 8: three out of four in a huge.
Speaker 12: Series for us.
Speaker 11: You're a great person to ask this question, obviously, with
Speaker 11: where the pitching staff was the last two days. How
Speaker 11: tough is it to swallow a game like yesterday where
Speaker 11: you're handcuffed on who you can use and live to
Speaker 11: fight today.
Speaker 8: I think the one thing that we're really really good at.
Speaker 8: Obviously we have really good pitching, and we have good pitchers,
Speaker 8: but I think our staff, you know, Doc and Mark
Speaker 8: and Connor and Bartow and the bullpen do a great
Speaker 8: job of keeping.
Speaker 5: Our guys healthy.
Speaker 8: It's a little it's a lot undervalued obviously in the
Speaker 8: league or a lot of teams feel like they have
Speaker 8: to fight to win every game and use their best
Speaker 8: pitchers no matter what. Where we're not afraid to say, okay,
Speaker 8: we're We're almost willing to sacrifice the win for the
Speaker 8: betterment of our team long term. And I think that,
Speaker 8: you know, come playoff time, everybody's gotta you know, said
Speaker 8: later in this month, it's all hands on deck. You
Speaker 8: might have to pitch seven in a row, who knows.
Speaker 8: But like for the long term of one hundred and
Speaker 8: sixty two games, it's hard to not buy into or
Speaker 8: be tempted into using guys, you know, when they pitch
Speaker 8: three out of four or two out of three and
Speaker 8: you end up, you know, making that guy obviously not
Speaker 8: have a great outing and with less stuff, but you
Speaker 8: potentially get guys hurt.
Speaker 12: And I see that happen a lot throughout the league.
Speaker 12: We don't do that.
Speaker 8: We refuse to do that with our pitchers. And I
Speaker 8: love that about us because obviously that's why I feel
Speaker 8: like we maximize. We put guys in. Hey, we're using
Speaker 8: these guys today no matter what, like we're not using
Speaker 8: those guys, And I think that that's honestly a great
Speaker 8: quality of this organization. Like I said, come in the
Speaker 8: middle of this month, it doesn't matter if you have
Speaker 8: to pitch five in a row. You have to pitch
Speaker 8: five in a row. You need to get into the
Speaker 8: playoffs and the playoffs start. It's all hands on deck
Speaker 8: and everybody knows that. But up to that point, I
Speaker 8: think we do the best job in baseball.
Speaker 11: At Chris Woodward is our guest. And Chris, like I mentioned,
Speaker 11: you were coaching third base for some really special players
Speaker 11: in a special time of Dodger baseball. Do you feel
Speaker 11: like this group is starting to resemble that attitude of
Speaker 11: those teams.
Speaker 8: Yeah, you know what, Like I told shohey the other night,
Speaker 8: and I know he's the greatest player on the planet,
Speaker 8: but like for him to square around a bunt, yeah,
Speaker 8: I thought that that was very indigative of like, our
Speaker 8: team is a team, you know, our best player who's
Speaker 8: obviously chasing history, maybe to something that had never been
Speaker 8: done before in the history of the game. He took
Speaker 8: one less opportunity to hit a homer potentially.
Speaker 12: And do something for the sacrifice of a team.
Speaker 8: To say, hey, I'm gonna get on basis for us,
Speaker 8: it's the top of the eighth ning, we're ty game,
Speaker 8: it's a huge series, and he saw the third basement
Speaker 8: back and thought, maybe actually get on base by a bunt.
Speaker 8: I don't really want him to bunt, and I don't
Speaker 8: think Doc does either, but at the same time, like
Speaker 8: for him to actually think about that tells me teams
Speaker 8: on his mind and not personal actly, And if everybody
Speaker 8: kind of adopts that mentality, we will win. And you know,
Speaker 8: obviously that's probably our biggest task of just like everybody
Speaker 8: coming together for the common.
Speaker 12: Goal of just winning a championship. And if we do that,
Speaker 12: we will win.
Speaker 11: Speaking of show, hey O Tani being on the same
Speaker 11: side as he is instead of going against him. What's
Speaker 11: it like from your vantage point watching what he's done
Speaker 11: this season.
Speaker 12: I'm thankful that I'm not.
Speaker 8: I was in awe of him, you know, watching him
Speaker 8: from the other side because he you know, we actually
Speaker 8: hit him pretty good when I was in Texas, but
Speaker 8: he had some monster games against us, and I was just,
Speaker 8: you know, in awe of what he could.
Speaker 12: Do, you know, on the baseball field.
Speaker 8: But just getting to know him a little bit and
Speaker 8: seeing how, you know, how much he prepares, how much
Speaker 8: he cares about the game, how respectful he is to
Speaker 8: the game, the way he plays it, how hard he
Speaker 8: plays it, the way he's really adopted a lot of things,
Speaker 8: like understanding how to run the bases better, how to
Speaker 8: bake steel bases. It's just been impressive for me, obviously
Speaker 8: adopting our offensive kind of philosophy, understanding how important strike
Speaker 8: z own is.
Speaker 12: He still obviously swings, but at the same time.
Speaker 8: He is He's improved a lot, in my opinion, and
Speaker 8: it has a lot to do with just his mindset
Speaker 8: and his ability to learn.
Speaker 11: How much do you believe he is thriving in this
Speaker 11: competitive environment.
Speaker 5: He loves it.
Speaker 8: I saw it in the WBC and listen, we've never
Speaker 8: seen show Hey in the playoffs. It's something that like
Speaker 8: unfortunately fans have been you know, haven't had a chance
Speaker 8: to see.
Speaker 12: We will see it, obviously. I can't wait because I
Speaker 12: think that this guy's got the DNA of a champion.
Speaker 8: Like obviously, but like when I saw him in the
Speaker 8: WBC in the beginning of a season, hasn't the season
Speaker 8: hadn't even started yet, and he's fired. You know, He's
Speaker 8: going up against Trout and you could tell how much
Speaker 8: he loved that environment. I just can't wait to see
Speaker 8: him actually in a in a playoff environment in the MLB.
Speaker 8: It you know, obviously it's going to be for our team,
Speaker 8: which is great, But I can't wait to see that
Speaker 8: because I think if the world needs to see that.
Speaker 11: Yeah, that will be special, and it will be special
Speaker 11: to have the Dodgers make a long, deep postseason run
Speaker 11: like they did in six teens, seventeen and eighteen, and
Speaker 11: of course winning get in twenty. Chris Woodward, always great
Speaker 11: to see you so happier with the Dodgers and always
Speaker 11: love tapping into you.

Speaker 2: out of Venezuela. You remember the name from a year ago, right.
Speaker 2: The Dodgers tried to trade for him when he was
Speaker 2: in Detroit, and he wouldn't waive his no trade clause
Speaker 2: and didn't want to sign an extension with the Dodgers
Speaker 2: because he didn't want to play out West.
Speaker 3: But yet he's playing for the Diamondbacks.
Speaker 2: He's in his ninth season out in the big leagues,
Speaker 2: Red Sox, Tigers and now the Snakes, making just his
Speaker 2: fifth Seeds start this season. He was hurt shoulder injury

Speaker 3: Tim never guess.
Speaker 4: Tim, Thanks again, We're getting you ready for the first pitcher.
Speaker 5: The fourth and final game of this series.
Speaker 4: Dodgers trying to take three of four against the Diamondbacks.
Speaker 4: And if they do not, and they split this series,
Speaker 4: and the diamond Back would own the tiebreaker. If the
Speaker 4: Dodgers win, they would own the tie breaker if it
Speaker 4: comes into play. Meantime, Jack flairdy had ten and six
Speaker 4: hopes to be the stopper today stopped the bleeding a
Speaker 4: little bit from yesterday, a fourteen to three loss to
Speaker 4: the Diamondbacks. But Jack Flaird has been very good since
Speaker 4: joining the Dodgers. His last time out, it was only
Speaker 4: two bad pitches that was the difference in the game.
Speaker 6: Yeah, man, home runs here and there. It's given up
Speaker 6: twenty one home runs, but most of those are solo blasts.
Speaker 5: You start to look.
Speaker 6: Since the thirtieth of May, Flarity's made thirteen starts, his
Speaker 6: record is nine and two. That's time for third best
Speaker 6: in Major League Baseball. The other part, too, is since
Speaker 6: coming to the Dodgers, he's had runners in scoring position
Speaker 6: is just a one seven batting average against him. That's
Speaker 6: when he really buckles down, and with two strikes, less
Speaker 6: than a one to seventy batting average against him for
Speaker 6: the entire season.
Speaker 4: Eduardo Rodriguez going the veteran left hander former Boston Red
Speaker 4: Sox lefty Detroit Tiger is lefty was rumored to be
Speaker 4: headed to the Dodgers, but he used his veteran status
Speaker 4: and is no trade. Claused a veto a deal to
Speaker 4: La last year and then ended up signing a four
Speaker 4: year deal here in Arizona.
Speaker 6: Yeah, thirteen wins last year, but he's had an injury
Speaker 6: challenged season this year and if you start to look
Speaker 6: at what he's been able to do coming back, this
Speaker 6: is only his fifth start after signing that four year,
Speaker 6: eighty million dollars contract.
Speaker 4: So it's the Dodgers and the Diamondbacks at Water Rodriguez
Speaker 4: for the d Backs and Jack Flaherty going for Los Angeles.
Speaker 4: We're getting ready for the first pitch here in Arizona.
Speaker 3: Jimp all right, first pitch coming up.
Speaker 2: Dodgers looking to get the series win in Arizona, extend
Speaker 2: that lead and division over the Snakes.
Speaker 3: Meanwhile, the Padres also five games back. They're playing host
Speaker 3: of the Tigers. That game will get underway in a
Speaker 3: couple of hours from Petco Park.
Speaker 2: But Dodgers need to take care of business here in
Speaker 2: early September as they take on the Diamondbacks one final
Speaker 2: time here in the regular season. Both teams have won
Speaker 2: six head to head meetings. This is game thirteen between
Speaker 2: these two. Who will win the season series. We'll find
Speaker 2: out Dodgers diamond back to a water Rodriguez and Jack Flarry.
Speaker 3: The pitching matchup, I'm Tim Kates has been
