Speaker 2: twenty five, only the nineteen fifty five Brooklyn Dodgers have
Speaker 2: had a better start. After a dramatic comfort behind win
Speaker 2: over the Breys on Wednesday, the Dodgers had a day
Speaker 2: off yesterday. Now they hit the road for a three
Speaker 2: game series in Philadelphia. Yoshinobu Yamamoto on the mound, the
Speaker 2: series opener from Citizens Bank Park. First pitch coming up

Speaker 2: Shortly we'll hear from Kirsten Watson and show hey Otani
Speaker 2: and at just a few minutes we'll send it out
Speaker 2: to Tim Neverett and Rick Monday at the Galloping Motors
Speaker 2: Broadcast booth. Well on Wednesday night at the Ravine, the
Speaker 2: Dodgers closed out the opening homestand of the season after
Speaker 2: taking three from the Detroit Tigers. The Dodgers looking to
Speaker 2: close out for the Atlanta Braves. Blake Snell on the mount.
Speaker 2: He went four innings, five runs, five hits, four walks,
Speaker 2: two strikeouts. Got into trouble early, but it wasn't his faults.
Speaker 2: He had a couple of pitches out of the zone
Speaker 2: for control issues. But Max Bunsey throwing air opened the
Speaker 2: door for two runs in the first then a throwing
Speaker 2: air and a miss cue in the second inning opened
Speaker 2: the door for three more Atlanta runs. The Braves are
Speaker 2: up five to nothing, all runs unearned against Blake Snell. Finally,
Speaker 2: in the bottom of the second, down five nothing, the
Speaker 2: Dodgers got on the board.
Speaker 4: So Edmond in a driver's seat. Dodgers trying to chip
Speaker 4: away at this five nothing deficit here with the runner
Speaker 4: on and one out at the bottom of the second
Speaker 4: inning one, Edmund swings and drives the ball right center field,
Speaker 4: going back white.
Speaker 5: He's at the wall, He's out of here. Tommy tanks
Speaker 5: alive and well to begin twenty twenty five, a two
Speaker 5: run blast, his fourth of the season, and the Dodgers
Speaker 5: right back in it.
Speaker 6: It's now five to two.
Speaker 3: Tommy Edmund with his fourth home run of the season.
Speaker 3: He leaves the Dodgers by the way in dingers.
Speaker 2: Dodgers down five to two, Michael Can four to oh
Speaker 2: his first home run at a Dodger uniform, solo home
Speaker 2: run of the fourth. Dodgers down five to three. Now,
Speaker 2: Blake's that would go four innings. Give up those five
Speaker 2: runs in the first two innings, but the Dodgers' bullpen
Speaker 2: was big, keeping the Braves at just five runs. Benki
Speaker 2: Sperry has two shutout innings, Kirby Yates to inning a relief,
Speaker 2: and then Jack Dryer pitched a scoreless eighth. In a
Speaker 2: scoreless ninth, the Dodgers were down five to three going
Speaker 2: to the bottom of the eighth inning.
Speaker 3: They had runners on.
Speaker 2: The sixth the seventh, but couldn't get that big base
Speaker 2: hit to get more runs on the board. Finally, the
Speaker 2: eighth two to on, two out for Max Munsey.
Speaker 4: Dodgers are zero for five with runners in scoring position.
Speaker 4: Tonight can Max change that in a big way the
Speaker 4: one two months he swings.
Speaker 6: Right center field. This boll gonna get.
Speaker 7: Down con photo scores spit behind him.
Speaker 6: Max Monsey redemption in the egg.
Speaker 5: We are tied at five after the two run double
Speaker 5: from Monzie. The game didn't start well for Max Munsey,
Speaker 5: but certainly pay made dew in the eighth inning with
Speaker 5: the two run double that tied the game at five,
Speaker 5: all the way back from a five to nothing deficit.
Speaker 5: The Dodgers tied the game in the eighth and then
Speaker 5: in the ninth. It's set up perfectly for show Hey
Speaker 5: Otani a walk off home run. Dodgers beat the Braves
Speaker 5: six to five on Wednesday Night. Otani with the home
Speaker 5: run his second walk off home run of his career.
Speaker 5: The Dodgers there's six come from behind win already this Sea.
Speaker 5: They're eight and o after the sweep of the Atlanta Braves,
Speaker 5: as the Dodgers, the best start by defending World Series
Speaker 5: champs in MLB history. Jack Dryer against the winning and
Speaker 5: relief for the Dodgers' bullpen, which put up zeros over
Speaker 5: five innings of a combined work. Dodgers now hit the
Speaker 5: road for a six game East Coast road trip, first
Speaker 5: up a three game series in Philadelphia against the Fight
Speaker 5: in Phills. Yoshinobu Yamamoto on the mount and with more
Speaker 5: we head out to the Galpos Motors broadcast booth as
Speaker 5: we say hello to Tim Nevertt and Rick Monday.
Speaker 8: Guys, Tim, thank you very much. It is very pleasant
Speaker 8: here in Philadelphia. You never know what you're gonna get
Speaker 8: in early April in Philly, but we've been pretty fortunate.
Speaker 8: Temperatures are in the low sixties right now as we
Speaker 8: get set to start this ballgame between the Dodgers and
Speaker 8: the Phillies. Dodgers eight and oh, off to their best
Speaker 8: start in Los Angeles Dodger history all time. It's ten
Speaker 8: and oh. The nineteen fifty five Brooklyn Dodgers had the
Speaker 8: best start, and the Phillies five and one. They're three
Speaker 8: and oh at home. The Phillies won seven of their
Speaker 8: last nine against the Dodgers, sweeping them here last year.
Speaker 8: But that was last year and this is this year. Tonight.
Speaker 8: Haesus Lizarda, the left hander at one and zero. We'll
Speaker 8: pitch for the Phillies against the right handed Yoshinubu Yamamoto,
Speaker 8: who is also won and oh and Mota. Dodgers just
Speaker 8: keep on finding ways to win. They've won eight games,
Speaker 8: and six of them they've come from behind to do it.
Speaker 9: Yeah, it's amazing what they've been able to do. And
Speaker 9: when the stage is set in the later portions of
Speaker 9: ball games is when they have really been able to shine.
Speaker 9: So they come in first place team half game in
Speaker 9: front of San Diego. His action got underway today San
Speaker 9: Diego in Chicago against the Cubs and for the Phillies
Speaker 9: again game and a half lead in front of the
Speaker 9: surprising Miami Marlins. Oh, it is early yet as far
Speaker 9: as the Marlins, it doesn't matter if it's earlier late.
Speaker 9: With the Phillies, they have a very good team. So yeah,
Speaker 9: it's West versus the East. The other part about starting
Speaker 9: off this Dodger ball club eight and oh, they're the
Speaker 9: first of one hundred and twenty defending world champion teams
Speaker 9: to begin the season with eight consecutive victories. So you
Speaker 9: put it into perspective, we've already seen history made with
Speaker 9: this Dodger Balklub.
Speaker 8: Well, they passed the nineteen thirty three New York Yankees,
Speaker 8: who started defense of their title seven and zero in
Speaker 8: thirty three with a guy hitting in the middle of
Speaker 8: their order named Babe Ruth.
Speaker 9: Yeah, it's amazing. The Dodgers have their own version of
Speaker 9: Babe Ruth that may show Hey Otani the walk off
Speaker 9: home run to end things in that series against the
Speaker 9: Atlanta Braves and swept that series. The Dodgers said, Tim
Speaker 9: just find ways right now to get things done. Their
Speaker 9: bullpen has shut things down. And speaking of bullpen, you
Speaker 9: need a good bullpen against the Phillies because they have
Speaker 9: absolutely been feasting upon bullpens of opposing teams. That's why
Speaker 9: they entered this this game tonight. Five wins, only one loss.
Speaker 8: When you look at the Dodgers starters Era two fourteen
Speaker 8: so far, the bullpenny ra one point eight threes. So
Speaker 8: the Dodger bullpen has been getting it done. And you
Speaker 8: know the veteran guys you expect to get it done,
Speaker 8: guys with a track record, guys with a long list
Speaker 8: on the back of their baseball card. But you've got
Speaker 8: Ben Casparius and Jack Dreyer rookies who are getting it done.
Speaker 9: Yeah, they're getting it done. There is when blemish is
Speaker 9: the Dodgers move in. And for those that have not heard,
Speaker 9: Freddie Freeman put on the injured list for ten days.
Speaker 9: That right ankle very problematic, so he has been set
Speaker 9: down and Hunter Fidusia joins this ball club in the
Speaker 9: absence of Freeman, so.
Speaker 8: They got a left handed bat here in Fidusha. Freeman
Speaker 8: would be eligible to come off the injured list on
Speaker 8: the eleventh, when the Dodgers would open a series at
Speaker 8: Dodger Stadium against the Cubs. But first things first, first
Speaker 8: of a six game road trip here to Philadelphia and
Speaker 8: to Washington, d c the eight to no Dodgers taking
Speaker 8: on the five and one Phillies.
Speaker 3: Tim all right, thank you guys, as we count you

Speaker 2: an injury report and we'll hear from the manager, Dave Roberts.
Speaker 2: Leading up to Dodgers and Phillies on this Friday. I'm
Speaker 2: Tim Katson's the world champion Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 1: This is Morongo Casino Dodgers Hunting game on your home
Speaker 1: for LA Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 2: Marongo Casino Dodgers on Deck continues on this Friday as

Speaker 2: and Phillies Maronggo Casino Resort and Spot Grand Slam.
Speaker 3: Good Times.
Speaker 2: Yoshikamamoto on the mounta first pitch set for three forty five.
Speaker 6: It's the LA Dodgers Injury Report.
Speaker 2: Presented by UCLA Healthy, official medical partner of the Los
Speaker 2: Angeles Dodgers. Freddie Freeman goes on the IL Retroactive the
Speaker 2: thirty first of March with the sore ride ankle so
Speaker 2: he'll miss his road trip to Philadelphia and Washington. D
Speaker 2: C Hunter for Dousha gets called up from Triple A
Speaker 2: Oklahoma City. Tony Gonsolin pitched on a minor league rehab
Speaker 2: assignment last night and ending in two thirds for Oklahoma's City.
Speaker 2: Evan Phillips on a minor league rehab assignment as well
Speaker 2: in ok Ce Clayton Kershaw Michael Kopek working their way
Speaker 2: back from early season injuries. All right, let's ted back
Speaker 2: out to Citizens Bank Park and check out the Dodger skipper.
Speaker 3: Any dad questions for Dave?
Speaker 14: Dave?
Speaker 11: Can you just describe Dave?
Speaker 3: Can you talk about the pressure in.
Speaker 13: The dugouts with Dave Roberts, What changed in what led
Speaker 13: to the decision to have Freddy stay back and go
Speaker 13: on the IL.
Speaker 14: Yeah, I thought, I think the thought was he could
Speaker 14: He could have played, but we just felt that even
Speaker 14: in talking to Friday the training staff, there was potential
Speaker 14: downside if we played them to make it worse. And
Speaker 14: given the time of year, the off days that we had,
Speaker 14: we built in some days that he missed off day
Speaker 14: coming up, just made sense for him to stay back,
Speaker 14: not travel fly, increased swelling and then be ready to go,
Speaker 14: hopefully when we get home for the Homestand.
Speaker 13: I know you're always thinking big picture, but how much
Speaker 13: of the luxury of having an aid to no start
Speaker 13: and as many good players as you have factored into
Speaker 13: being able to absorb a loss of a player like him.
Speaker 14: I think the having the depth certainly allowed us to
Speaker 14: absorb it, But I still believe that that's a separate
Speaker 14: decision which what is best for Freddy and given him
Speaker 14: more time, putting him on the IL made the most sense,
Speaker 14: and he wasn't too thrilled about it, as we would
Speaker 14: all expect, but understood it.
Speaker 12: Do you think he would have been having to play
Speaker 12: into the season with the ankle bothering even before this
Speaker 12: sort of should shower thing happened.
Speaker 14: You know, I think that if we wouldn't have done anything,
Speaker 14: I think it could have lingered all year. And not
Speaker 14: to say that we expected to be one hundred percent
Speaker 14: when he comes off, but I just think that it's
Speaker 14: something that we give it a chance to kind of
Speaker 14: maintain versus continually go backward as the season progressed, And
Speaker 14: that's something we just didn't want him to fight all
Speaker 14: year long.
Speaker 12: You have to go to any more like testing after
Speaker 12: the shower thing happened, or yeah.
Speaker 14: He took We got an MRI scan and there was nothing. Nothing.
Speaker 14: It came back the way we wanted to.
Speaker 2: All Right, there's Dave Roberts, says Freddie Freeman goes to
Speaker 2: the ill. Yeah, when you're eight and O, you have
Speaker 2: the luxury, uh, putting a guy on the il to
Speaker 2: get really healthy and rested for the long season.
Speaker 3: When we continue here on Dodgers on.
Speaker 2: Deck, we'll check out with David Vassa as we lead
Speaker 2: you up to first pitch Dodgers and Phillies. I'm Tim Kasey,
Speaker 2: is the world champion Los Angeles Dodgers audio notwek.
Speaker 1: This is Marongo Casino, Dodgers on deach on your home
Speaker 1: for the Blue all season long law dance.
Speaker 2: The Dodgers and Phillies starting a three game weekend series.
Speaker 2: Yoshiamamoto on the mound. Coming up, will dive deep into
Speaker 2: this pitching matchup. Tim and Rick Lo have the keys
Speaker 2: to the game. We'll hear from Blake trying to first
Speaker 2: pitch set for three forty five.
Speaker 6: Joining Tim Kates on Dodgers on Deck. I accept everybody
Speaker 6: for who they are. This is Dodger insider David.
Speaker 2: All Right, David, Freddie Freeman goes on the IL yesterday,
Speaker 2: and when you're as good as the Dodgers.
Speaker 13: Are, right, so it's better to get this guy healthy
Speaker 13: without a doubt to him. And that's what Dave Roberts
Speaker 13: expressed when I asked him about it. As you heard earlier.
Speaker 13: But Freddy didn't even make the trip to the East Coast,
Speaker 13: and he's going to miss out on being with his
Speaker 13: team at the White House. That's part of the perks
Speaker 13: of winning the World Series. So you know, this has
Speaker 13: got to be really tough for Freddie not to be
Speaker 13: able to play games and to even go on the IL.
Speaker 13: But the facts are Freddie, even before he slipped in
Speaker 13: the shower and reaggravated that right ankle, was telling us
Speaker 13: that he was going to have to manage this right
Speaker 13: ankle extensively until July. So this only makes matters worse
Speaker 13: when you reaggravate it the way he did. And this
Speaker 13: is the smart play. And even if Freddy doesn't agree,
Speaker 13: this is the smart play for the Dodgers. And they
Speaker 13: have a lot of good players and they're off to
Speaker 13: an eight and zero start. That all contributed to it,
Speaker 13: and Hunter Fiducca got called up today. He just came
Speaker 13: from Oklahoma City where he was telling me that team
Speaker 13: is stacked as well. It's like a major League team,
Speaker 13: he said, in Triple A. So the Dodgers have a
Speaker 13: lot of good players, not only on the twenty six
Speaker 13: man roster, but even in Triple A and Double A
Speaker 13: for sure. So this the Dodgers need Freddie Freeman healthy
Speaker 13: and that right ankle healthy when it counts the most.
Speaker 3: David is driven by four. There's one thing we like
Speaker 3: his choices.
Speaker 2: Find yours with the Ford F one fifty gas hybrid
Speaker 2: all electric tough. This mark can only be called f
Speaker 2: one fifty. You mentioned the White House Dodgers going there
Speaker 2: on Monday and Mookie Betts going with the team.
Speaker 13: Yeah, MOOKI felt compelled to hold some sort of pseudo
Speaker 13: media session in the dugout at about four h five
Speaker 13: Eastern time today just because he's been asked by so
Speaker 13: many reporters are you going? Are you going? So it
Speaker 13: put him in an awkward spot. So he felt like
Speaker 13: he had to make this announcement publicly. But Mookie Betts
Speaker 13: wanted to make it clear he doesn't want it to
Speaker 13: be about himself. He felt like he did that when
Speaker 13: he skipped the Red Sox visit to the White House
Speaker 13: in twenty nineteen after beating the Dodgers in the eighteen
Speaker 13: World Series number two. He doesn't want to make this
Speaker 13: a political thing. This is not political, no matter how
Speaker 13: much anybody wants to make it. This is a tradition
Speaker 13: that goes back to the mid eighties where Ronald Reagan
Speaker 13: started inviting championship teams from California like the Lakers, to
Speaker 13: the White House. This is not political, and Mookie Betts
Speaker 13: wanted to stress he's not trying to make this political.
Speaker 13: He wants to be with his teammates. He doesn't want
Speaker 13: to make this about him. So it was awkward that
Speaker 13: he even had to do something like this earlier today.
Speaker 13: But he's been asked about it so many times.
Speaker 2: Well, I'm gonna ask about the Dodgers win in every
Speaker 2: game this year, DV. Are they gonna go one hundred
Speaker 2: and sixty two and zero.
Speaker 13: No, But you know everybody talking about beating the Mariners
Speaker 13: two thousand and one record of one hundred and sixteen wins,
Speaker 13: that that looks realistic. Not just because they got off
Speaker 13: to this eight and zero start, but just the disparity
Speaker 13: and talent from other teams. The Tigers played really well,
Speaker 13: and I know talking to some of their players the
Speaker 13: final game of that series, they felt like they would
Speaker 13: have beaten twenty five other teams out there at least
Speaker 13: two out of three. The Dodgers played their worst game
Speaker 13: of the season and the worst I could remember in
Speaker 13: a while, that last game against the Braves, and they
Speaker 13: come back after being down five to nothing and win
Speaker 13: the game. So they're gonna lose one game in this
Speaker 13: series in my opinion, but there's a good chance they
Speaker 13: could give the Mariners of OH One a run.
Speaker 2: All right, tight out for the Dodgers. Derby brought to
Speaker 2: by Santa Anita Park. Tomorrow is a big day, Santa
Speaker 2: Anita Derby Day and Saninita Park starts with the five

Speaker 2: least a base hit today. Key k Hernandez joined me
Speaker 2: at prize Picks. Use the promo code go blue. Prize Picks,
Speaker 2: run your game.
Speaker 1: And now joined by David Bass saying, here's la Dodgers
Speaker 1: broadcaster and World Series champion Dodger Rick Monday.
Speaker 13: Rick, it's great to be in Philadelphia with you. You
Speaker 13: had a lot of successful years with the Dodgers coming
Speaker 13: to Philly.
Speaker 9: Yeah, the city, your brother Lulu up for the guy
Speaker 9: that used to be behind the dugout at the Vet
Speaker 9: Veteran Stadium.
Speaker 10: So yeah.
Speaker 9: Other than that, the guy yelling at me for eight
Speaker 9: years never turned around. For those never heard the story,
Speaker 9: I never turned around, but for the moment we came
Speaker 9: out to take batting practice. The guy was on me
Speaker 9: from the Cubs and then onto the Dodgers, and for
Speaker 9: eight years I never turned around. I never gestured to him.
Speaker 9: I never even turned to see who it was. I
Speaker 9: just knew it was coming somewhere within proximity of the
Speaker 9: visiting third base dugout. And then finally one day I
Speaker 9: would come out to batting practice, and as you alluded to,
Speaker 9: I hit pretty well against the Phillies for whatever reason,
Speaker 9: and I came out on deck ready, I'm getting okay,
Speaker 9: this leather lung guy is going to get on me.
Speaker 9: And I heard nothing, and I had really a bad game.
Speaker 9: And the next day I come out and the guy's
Speaker 9: on me. Mondy, you bummed, you've did that. And I said,
Speaker 9: turn around for the first time, I see where the
Speaker 9: guy is. And I see the first time who the
Speaker 9: guy is, and I went, where in the heck were
Speaker 9: you yesterday? He goes, well, my Dodger graduated from my
Speaker 9: docter graduated from high school. I said, well, good, don't
Speaker 9: do that again. I said, a bad game. Game started,
Speaker 9: came in the ondeck circles going, oh, come on, Rick,
Speaker 9: come on, Rick. But this is a very knowledgeable city
Speaker 9: when it comes to the sport. Said this is a
Speaker 9: fun place to come in, even though fun because you
Speaker 9: know it's going to be competitive, and the Phillies leading
Speaker 9: the East, Dodgers leading the West, and Rick, you know, you.
Speaker 13: Go back to the years that you played against the
Speaker 13: Phillies with the Dodgers. We always want to talk about
Speaker 13: the World Series against the Yankees, but it was the
Speaker 13: Phillies that you would always beat in the NLCS to
Speaker 13: get to the World.
Speaker 9: And that was not an easy stepping stone either, because
Speaker 9: they had extremely good teams, not only the talent, but
Speaker 9: then when you come into this ballpark, you don't have
Speaker 9: to worry. Are we the visiting team?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 9: They tell you right out flat, Yeah, you're the visiting team.
Speaker 9: So yeah, the pathway to the World Series for a
Speaker 9: while is you had to get through the Philadelphia Phillies
Speaker 9: in order to win the nationally pennant to get to
Speaker 9: the World Series.
Speaker 13: All right, Rick, fast forward to twenty twenty five. Are
Speaker 13: the Dodgers ever going to lose? Everybody wants to now.
Speaker 9: Yes, eventually they will. I don't perceive it as being
Speaker 9: tonight if the Dodgers do not expand the strike zone.
Speaker 9: One of the things that you know, Tim Neverert and
Speaker 9: I talk about is that if you look at Lozardo,
Speaker 9: he had great success last year in getting hitters, in
Speaker 9: particular against the slider to expand the strike zone, and
Speaker 9: if they if they go chasing pitches out of the
Speaker 9: strike zone, it's going to be a long night for
Speaker 9: the Dodgers, and they've got to be a very disciplined
Speaker 9: as hitters.
Speaker 13: Miguel Rojas gets the start at third base against the
Speaker 13: lefty Lozardo Munsey, who came up with a big two
Speaker 13: run double on the Otani heroic night.
Speaker 9: Do you notice what happened also before that double was
Speaker 9: hit and knock into two runs late in the game.
Speaker 9: Here's my point. We keep hearing about these torpedo bats, right,
Speaker 9: which in my mind is a little bit of well,
Speaker 9: it's you're trying to go a mental placebo Okay, to
Speaker 9: a certain extent, I understand the dynamics of it. But
Speaker 9: Max Munsey used a torpedo bat the first three at
Speaker 9: mats in that ballgame. He went back to his original bat,
Speaker 9: the silver sword, if you will. That's right, the last
Speaker 9: time up and he got the double. I listened to
Speaker 9: your postgame show. I meant to ask you this on
Speaker 9: the plane yesterday. Did I perceive Max Munsey in your
Speaker 9: interview the postgame getting a little emotional super emotional.
Speaker 13: A tear coming from his right eye. That's how emotional today.
Speaker 9: From a defensive standpoint, The reason I bring that up
Speaker 9: is that this is not just show up and play
Speaker 9: a game and no go home. These guys care about
Speaker 9: what they do and it hurts them to not be
Speaker 9: able to present themselves the best manner to their teammates
Speaker 9: because they want to be there for their teammates, because
Speaker 9: they know those guys are there for them.
Speaker 13: Hey, Rick cared a lot too. You wren't on your
Speaker 13: sleeves and that's why La still loves you.
Speaker 9: Rick.
Speaker 13: Well two, Hey, here's something else for you, Rick. Yes,
Speaker 13: the great Tom Petty once had an album titled Damn
Speaker 13: the Torpedoes, Damn the Torpedoes in Baseball full Speed A
Speaker 13: h we'll send it back to you, Tim.
Speaker 2: All right, thanks a lot, MO, thanks a lot of

Speaker 2: Philadelphia on this Friday, Dodger fans, start your future. The
Speaker 2: California Community College financial aids available to help you with tuition,
Speaker 2: the books, sometimes even the rent. It's time to take
Speaker 2: that next big step. Classes they can fill up quickly,
Speaker 2: so enroll today and I can go to college dot Com.
Speaker 2: Still to come here on Dodgers on Deck. We'll get

Speaker 2: Never at those keys to the game, but up next
Speaker 2: we'll hear from late trying lead you up to Dodgers
Speaker 2: and Phillies.
Speaker 3: First pitch come up at three forty five. I'm Tim Kates.
Speaker 3: This is the world champion Los Angeles Dodgers Audio.
Speaker 1: Hello, this is Morongo Cassino Dodgers Hunt. Game on your
Speaker 1: home for LA Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 2: Dodgers in Philadelphia taking on the Phillies. Yoshi, I'm a
Speaker 2: moto on the mound. First pitch coming up at three
Speaker 2: forty five. Dodgers Baseball is brought to you by Zenchi
Speaker 2: handkrafted Sushi.
Speaker 3: Enjoyed the game with the quick, affordable meal.
Speaker 2: The whole family will enjoy Zench hand Crampton Sushi made
Speaker 2: fresh onsite daily by professionally trained sushi chefs with precision,
Speaker 2: passion and a tradition. You can taste tudor roles, salmon,
Speaker 2: timpurra shrimp, my personal favorite, the mango crunchy dragon roll.
Speaker 2: They have poke Bulls fine zench Sushi near the deli
Speaker 2: counter at rause Zen.
Speaker 3: She always fast, fresh and easy.
Speaker 1: And now what will likely be vast a fielding insults
Speaker 1: from a Dodger player.
Speaker 3: It's an engagement of endearment.
Speaker 6: This this high and tight.
Speaker 13: We are in the city of brotherly love, and I'm
Speaker 13: joined right now by a man that considers me a
Speaker 13: little brother, maybe a big brother, and that is Dodger
Speaker 13: reliever Blake Trining. Great to see you, brother, Goode's it's
Speaker 13: it's moderately good to.
Speaker 3: See you today.
Speaker 13: Hey, I saw you just come back from this new
Speaker 13: revamped bullpen in Philadelphia.
Speaker 14: They got the.
Speaker 13: Slunning glass doors. What do you think about that situation?
Speaker 12: It's great, but don't no fool yourself. And we got
Speaker 12: it is because I think there's some type of rule
Speaker 12: where if you upgrade.
Speaker 3: One, there has to be competitive balance.
Speaker 12: We can't be sitting in the elements if they But
Speaker 12: thank you Philadelphia for taking care of that.
Speaker 3: So it's nice. They did a good job.
Speaker 13: I heard, with the reputation of a city that boots
Speaker 13: Santa Claus, it was a little distracting to have the
Speaker 13: fans here that close to the visiting bullpen.
Speaker 12: Fans are fans, I mean there's places just as bad,
Speaker 12: if not worse at times, you know, like for the
Speaker 12: percentages and population that filled the entitlement to say whatever
Speaker 12: they want because they bought a ticket. You know, like
Speaker 12: that's fine. I mean, we're professionals. We get paid to
Speaker 12: make sure we can block it out. So you know,
Speaker 12: that was only the handful of people across the league
Speaker 12: that want to be ignorant and do stupid stuff that
Speaker 12: weren't being ejected.
Speaker 3: So tread tread lightly.
Speaker 12: You know, like if you come to the bullpen, We've
Speaker 12: got guys that have a quick trigger.
Speaker 1: It's not me.
Speaker 12: I'm not going to tell you who it is, so
Speaker 12: but there are quick triggers down there.
Speaker 13: Blake Trening is our guest as the Dodgers and Phillies
Speaker 13: are getting set for first pitch. Blake, here's something I've
Speaker 13: never asked you before. How do you continue to get
Speaker 13: better with age? Because it feels like you're not only maintaining,
Speaker 13: but you're getting better every year.
Speaker 12: Was that a mild backhanded compliment?
Speaker 13: Blake?
Speaker 12: With as old as you are, can you teach an
Speaker 12: old dog new tricks?
Speaker 9: You know?
Speaker 12: The reason I'm even in this game still is by
Speaker 12: the grace of God, and I've been very blessed with
Speaker 12: good people around me to try to, you know, learn
Speaker 12: me some new stuff. And you know, for what it's worth,
Speaker 12: Trevor Bauer helped me with my sweeper back in twenty
Speaker 12: one and spring training, Connor mcguinnis and Mark and Bard,
Speaker 12: they all helped me stay locked in on certain cues
Speaker 12: with my pitches. So my success is a culmination of
Speaker 12: plenty of good people around me keeping me dialed in.
Speaker 12: We are about as good as those who are around us.
Speaker 12: You know, if I was on my own, you know,
Speaker 12: you always think like, man, if I was somewhere else,
Speaker 12: could I repeat what I'm doing? Maybe, if that's what
Speaker 12: God wants me to do. But I like to think
Speaker 12: that the people here have really helped bless my career,
Speaker 12: and hopefully I've been able to bless you know, the
Speaker 12: organization on the backside of it too. But you know,
Speaker 12: learning new pitches certainly helps lengthen your career, and you know,
Speaker 12: I like to think that I'm doing something right and
Speaker 12: maybe the Lord has favor over my career too.
Speaker 3: It's to me, it's evident and.
Speaker 12: No more obvious than the fact that I'm here for
Speaker 12: another two years of the Dodgers.
Speaker 13: Yes, that news was broken by a TV reporter in
Speaker 13: Houston somewhere. Blake, as far as that sweeper goes, you're
Speaker 13: a great person to ask this. Can you define what
Speaker 13: a sweeper is? Because us mere mortals hear these different
Speaker 13: terms of pitches and don't really understand. Is it just
Speaker 13: another name for a slider or is it a unique
Speaker 13: shape of a pitch.
Speaker 12: I think it's more or less. You're you're clipping at
Speaker 12: higher rate with lateral spin to get it to turn.
Speaker 12: So if you were to put it more north and south,
Speaker 12: it'd be a curveball. But since it's east and west,
Speaker 12: the idea is that you're catching the seams just right
Speaker 12: to get a lateral curveball. And that's why you don't
Speaker 12: really see him higher than truthfully, like a big sweeper,
Speaker 12: you don't really see bigger than like, you know, sixteen
Speaker 12: to twenty and then uh lateral uh and then you
Speaker 12: know the vlo. I. There might be a couple of
Speaker 12: guys and there's a lot of talented arms out there,
Speaker 12: but most most sweepers are you know, no harder than
Speaker 12: eighty eight and that's pretty that's pretty elite to get.
Speaker 12: Usually when it's that hard you get you're flirting around
Speaker 12: like ten to fourteen lateral. When it's a little bit slower,
Speaker 12: you have time for it to catch more and you
Speaker 12: know you can get more more lateral with it. But yeah,
Speaker 12: it's just it's just a lateral curveball.
Speaker 13: Okay, good to know. See I was confused. We're all
Speaker 13: confused about the sweeper.
Speaker 12: And I would have never known to describe it as that,
Speaker 12: and unless I had talked with Connor mcguinnis and he
Speaker 12: kind of worried it that way because I you know,
Speaker 12: I'm not a big fan of reinventing different terms. I mean,
Speaker 12: people have thrown lateral sliders for a long time. The
Speaker 12: idea now that it's a new pitch is just that
Speaker 12: we've got more information. We've got kenn of tracts, we've
Speaker 12: got mo cap, we've got all these things that can
Speaker 12: teach guys how to throw these pitches at a quicker
Speaker 12: turnaround instead of learning it for years. That now the
Speaker 12: whole league can learn to throw them. And so you know,
Speaker 12: the next pitch, who knows what it is. Maybe it's
Speaker 12: the kick change, maybe it's something else. I don't know,
Speaker 12: which is another weird term to me. We've got a
Speaker 12: ghost for it, or kick change a splinker, which is
Speaker 12: just a split fastball that sinks, and I you know,
Speaker 12: we can call it and have fun with it, and
Speaker 12: it's it's good for fans. But at the end of
Speaker 12: the day that a lot of the pitches are still
Speaker 12: the same. But old timers never really called him new pitches.
Speaker 12: There's I asked my slider, ask my curveball. It's my sinkers,
Speaker 12: my splitter. So yeah, here's a we'll see with the
Speaker 12: next new pitches in baseball.
Speaker 13: All right, Thank you Blake Trennon, who's been very kind
Speaker 13: with his time, and he seems to be a big
Speaker 13: brother to some of these younger relievers. Your catch partner today,
Speaker 13: Ben Caspirius, how much are you mentoring him?
Speaker 12: I will only mentor as much as they allow me
Speaker 12: or want me to. I'm not going to force any
Speaker 12: of my stuff on anyone. I think it's hard to
Speaker 12: try to press who you are on someone else. Leading
Speaker 12: by examples, the biggest thing, he might get something from me,
Speaker 12: he might get something from Tanner or Kirby or Vessia Banda, whoever.
Speaker 3: I mean, it's just you.
Speaker 12: You You're gonna have to pick and choose what version
Speaker 12: of yourself you want to be out there as a competitor,
Speaker 12: as a as a guy who prepared, as a guy
Speaker 12: who executes, and how to stay healthy. There's so many
Speaker 12: factors in being successful in this game. And you know
Speaker 12: the guys who stay around for a while or fortunate
Speaker 12: enough to have the right information and hold on to
Speaker 12: the right information throughout the course of their career to
Speaker 12: linking out, you know the innings they pitch and you know,
Speaker 12: is this is this where he's supposed to be long term?
Speaker 12: I like to think so is this?
Speaker 1: Uh?
Speaker 12: Is his body gonna stay healthy? Is his preparation gonna
Speaker 12: get dialed in? And you know, like every he's doing
Speaker 12: a lot of great things right now. And for being
Speaker 12: a young guy, he's one of the more polished arms
Speaker 12: I've seen come up as a rookie, with the amount
Speaker 12: of pitches he has that are plus probably that I
Speaker 12: can think of, maybe only Luke Trevino is about the
Speaker 12: only guy that I could think of that came up
Speaker 12: with three plus polished pitches as a rookie, and he's
Speaker 12: one of them.
Speaker 13: He's very lucky to have Blake Trenton in his life
Speaker 13: and as his catch partner, Blake. Always love catching up
Speaker 13: with you. It's always fun and let's do it again soon.
Speaker 12: Yeah, and one last note is Dave. Dave's my favorite
Speaker 12: interview to do in baseball.
Speaker 3: Also, well send it right there.

Speaker 1: Five, and before the Dodgers hit the dining we look
Speaker 1: at the pitching matchup.
Speaker 2: Forreshent about your Southern California Toyota dealers work hard, in
Speaker 2: play hard at a New Tacoma with an I Force
Speaker 2: turbo charged engine. It's a truck built for the Bowl.
Speaker 2: See your Toyota dealer today. They make it easy. Hey
Speaker 2: sous Lozardo on the mount of one to o with
Speaker 2: a three sixty era twenty seven year old left hander
Speaker 2: born in Peru, raised in Florida. Third round pick of
Speaker 2: the Nationals in twenty sixteen out of high school. There
Speaker 2: was a four seamer, a sweeper, a slider, a changeup,
Speaker 2: and a sinker. The seventh season in the Big Leagues
Speaker 2: the A's Marlins, and I was first season in Philadelphia
Speaker 2: after getting traded over in the offseason. In his first
Speaker 2: start this year, five innings, two runs, five hits a
Speaker 2: career high eleven strikeouts, he becomes the third Philly and
Speaker 2: franchise history of notch ten plus strikeouts in their debut
Speaker 2: at the club, joining Garrett Stevenson in nineteen ninety seven
Speaker 2: and Jim bunning Back in nineteen sixty four. This is
Speaker 2: his fifth time facing the Dodgers in his career. His
Speaker 2: fourth career start, twenty and two, third innings, three forty
Speaker 2: eight ERA, nineteen walks, eight e runs, one Dodgers homeward
Speaker 2: off from Shoeotani. Yoshinobu Yamamoto on the mound for the Dodgers,
Speaker 2: twenty six year old right hinder his second season with
Speaker 2: the Dodgers, making his third start this year. He got
Speaker 2: the opening day start in Tokyo, fired five innings of
Speaker 2: one run ball well, giving up only three hits and
Speaker 2: striking out four in a win. Last start five innings
Speaker 2: last Friday against the Tigers in his first home outing
Speaker 2: into twenty twenty five. He gave up two runs on
Speaker 2: five hits, two home runs, two walks, while striking out
Speaker 2: a career high ten. Yoshinobu Yamamoto on the Mountjesus Lozardo
Speaker 2: two guys that get a lot of strikeouts. It's the
Speaker 2: Dodgers and Phillies were fifteen minutes away from first pitch.
Speaker 3: Keys to the game are next.
Speaker 2: I'm Tim Kates is the world champion Los Angeles Dodgers
Speaker 2: Audio Network.
Speaker 1: As we were saying, this is Marongo Casino Dodgers on
Speaker 1: deck on the official home of LA Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 2: Dodgers eight and oh to start this season, hit the
Speaker 2: road for a six game East Coach road trip. They'll
Speaker 2: go to Washington, DC next week. Not before this three
Speaker 2: game series though, in Philadelphia. Yoshi Yamamoto, Hey suth Le Zardo.
Speaker 2: The pitching matchup of the series opener, first pitch of
Speaker 2: three forty five. Before that, let's have back out to
Speaker 2: the booth one final time before first pitch. Tip Neverrettrick Monday, guys.
Speaker 8: Ten, thanks again, we count you down to the first
Speaker 8: pitch between the Phillies and the Dodgers. Weather is very
Speaker 8: good here in Philadelphia, and the Dodgers and Phillies pretty
Speaker 8: lucky about that tonight is temperatures will probably get to
Speaker 8: the high fifties by the time the game is done.
Speaker 8: So recent Dodger Stadium weather, I guess you could say
Speaker 8: they'll have here in Philadelphia.
Speaker 9: Yah, this is a lot better than Denver, where they
Speaker 9: had snow at the beginning of their game tonight, So yeah,
Speaker 9: this is not bad at all. They're expecting you could
Speaker 9: get a little bit wet tomorrow, but we'll worry about
Speaker 9: that when it happens. For Yoshinoba, Yamamoto is third start
Speaker 9: trying to make it two wins and no losses. And
Speaker 9: you look at Yamamoto, one of the big things is
Speaker 9: you'll hiss off speed pitch, as it's been absolutely amazing,
Speaker 9: and especially when he gets ahead and counts. That's something
Speaker 9: he's been able to do.
Speaker 8: The splitter is actually up in velocity, at least so
Speaker 8: far this year, about a mile and a half per hour,
Speaker 8: and that has helped to make it a little bit
Speaker 8: more effective. The opposition is only two for eighteen against
Speaker 8: his split fingered pitch. That's hitting just one to eleven,
Speaker 8: and he comes off an outing in which he had
Speaker 8: a career high ten strikeouts. Eight of those ten were
Speaker 8: on the splitter.
Speaker 9: Yeah, about the fact ten innings he's worked already has
Speaker 9: fourteen walks, only three or make that fourteen strikeouts only
Speaker 9: three walks. On the flip side of the coin, Dodger
Speaker 9: hitters have to stay back and make Jesus Lozardo throw strikes.
Speaker 9: Here's the reason I say that last year, seventy percent
Speaker 9: of Lozardo's strikeouts were pitches that were out of the zone.
Speaker 9: Don't expand the zone. If you do, it's going to
Speaker 9: be a long night for Dodger hitters.
Speaker 8: And with the left hander on the hill for the Phillies,
Speaker 8: Max Munsey sitting this one out at least for the start.
Speaker 8: Miguel Rojas will start at third base.
Speaker 11: Eight.
Speaker 8: A couple of guys with some hitting streaks right now.
Speaker 8: Tommy Edmond has hit in all eight Dodger games. Will
Speaker 8: Smith has also hit in all eight games.
Speaker 9: Yeap, and the offense just continues to go. And I
Speaker 9: think if you look at this Dodger offense so far,
Speaker 9: it's not been one area. It's been top two, bottom,
Speaker 9: including the mid part. And you don't know really which
Speaker 9: guy is going to be hot on a given day
Speaker 9: so far.
Speaker 8: So the Dodgers have been relying on the long ball too.
Speaker 8: They lead the National League in home runs with eighteen.
Speaker 8: There are a couple behind the Yankees for the major
Speaker 8: league lead, but they have scored a good percentage of
Speaker 8: their runs on the long ball. This is a very
Speaker 8: home run friendly ballpark three twenty nine down left three
Speaker 8: thirty four and then it juts out the three seventy
Speaker 8: four in the alley and left center. But this has
Speaker 8: been a very home run friendly ballpark in the past.
Speaker 8: We'll see what happens here tonight in Game one as
Speaker 8: jesus Lozardo, the left hander takes on Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Yamamoto
Speaker 8: making his third start of the season for the Dodgers.
Speaker 3: Tim all right, just a reminder, no Freddie Freeman on
Speaker 3: the end list.
Speaker 2: With the right ankle keiky Hernandez gets to start at
Speaker 2: first base. Yeah, yet again, and with the left hander
Speaker 2: on the mound, there is no Maximunzi at third base,
Speaker 2: as Miguel Rojas of course getting the start at third
Speaker 2: base because of Hayes Susi Losarto. What it starts, Studded weekend.
Speaker 2: It is Dodgers and Phillies, these two rosters, all Star appearances,
Speaker 2: Dodgers thirty four Phillies twenty seven MVP awards between these
Speaker 2: two teams, seven between the Dodgers and the Phillies. How
Speaker 2: about Silver Slugger Awards between these two lineups Dodgers and Phillies,
Speaker 2: A combined twenty six Silver Sluggers. So offense and pitching
Speaker 2: is gonna be on full display in Philadelphia, and it
Speaker 2: starts with this series opener. Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Hey sus Lozardo,
Speaker 2: the pitching matchup. When it's all over, David Vasse will
Speaker 2: be back with all the post game highlights festivities in
Speaker 2: post game Dodger.
Speaker 3: Talk as well. Enjoy it.
Speaker 2: First pitch is next. I'm Tim Kass, the world champion
Speaker 2: Los Angeles Dodgers.
Speaker 3: Oh you know where
