Speaker 1: Dodgers pregame show. You're world champion Dodgers forty seven and
Speaker 1: thirty one on the season, first place atop the at
Speaker 1: L West after taking two or three from the Giants

Speaker 1: take on the Washington Nationals and try to get the
Speaker 1: series win. Show, Hey O, Tony on the mound. First
Speaker 1: pitch from Dodger Stadium is coming up at one ten.

Speaker 1: to here. I'm a Wrongo Casino Dodgers on deck. You're
Speaker 1: gonna hear from Dodger manager Dave Roberts coming up in
Speaker 1: about twenty minutes. We'll dive deeper into this pitching matchup.
Speaker 1: David Vasse, our Dodger insider, will join us throughout the hour.
Speaker 1: He'll go one on one with Clayton Kershaw. That's coming
Speaker 1: up in forty five minutes. Kershaw just eight strikeouts away

Speaker 1: this pitching matchup. Kirsten Watson will join us from sports
Speaker 1: in at LA. That in just a few minutes we
Speaker 1: head out to the Gallpin Motors broadcast. But on this
Speaker 1: beautiful Sunday afternoon, we be in here from Tim Neffett
Speaker 1: and Rick Monday. Well, last night, Dustin May and the
Speaker 1: Dodgers got done in by the long ball. Yeah, Dustin
Speaker 1: May started well three score settings, but then in the fourth,
Speaker 1: back to back Jacks James Wood, Luis Garcia Junior Nationals
Speaker 1: grabbed the two to nothing lead in the fifth. The
Speaker 1: Dodgers offense finally got something going against that starter Jake Irvin.
Speaker 1: Thanks to Andy.
Speaker 7: Pie has glad your listening, no matter where you happen
Speaker 7: to be, around the country, around the world for that matter.
Speaker 7: Andy pie has swings and hits a deep drive to left.
Speaker 7: This ball is back and god Handy Piez attacks the
Speaker 7: first pitch and hits his sixteenth home run of the season.
Speaker 5: Dodgers on the board.
Speaker 7: It is two to one. A majestic fly ball, light
Speaker 7: tower power for Andy Pies as he just continues to
Speaker 7: pile up numbers.
Speaker 1: Andy Piz with the bomb, sixteen home runs on the
Speaker 1: season for Pi Haz. Dodgers down two to one. In
Speaker 1: the sixth, the Nationals another home run off Dustin May
Speaker 1: Nathaniel Lowe a solo home run. Dodgers down three to one.
Speaker 1: In the bottom of the inning, though the Dodgers got
Speaker 1: that run thanks still Will Smith and.
Speaker 7: Here comes the pitch, swung on and drilled to center
Speaker 7: and deeep, this ball heading back to the wall.
Speaker 4: This Paul is done.
Speaker 7: Home run Will Smith dead center field. That's his ninth
Speaker 7: of the season and it is three to two.
Speaker 1: Will Smith goes deep with that bomb. That's the top
Speaker 1: tier play of the game, brought to you by Arco Quality,
Speaker 1: top tier gas for less. Dustin May went the sixth
Speaker 1: Indians to give it up. The three runs all solo shots.
Speaker 1: Jack Dryer got the seventh. He can up a two
Speaker 1: run home run to CJ. Abrams. Nationals had a five
Speaker 1: to two lead in the eighth. Nathaniel Low again with
Speaker 1: his second home run of the ninth. NAT's a six
Speaker 1: to two lead. The attack on another on a caber
Speaker 1: Luissak fly. Nationals led seven to two going to the
Speaker 1: ninth inning. Ta Oscar Hernandez a solo home run in
Speaker 1: the bottom of the ninth, his fourteenth of the season,
Speaker 1: but that was it. The Washington Nationals, one of the
Speaker 1: worst teams in baseball, tie in a season high with
Speaker 1: five home runs as they beat the Dodgers last night
Speaker 1: seven to three. The Nationals won a road game for
Speaker 1: the first time this month. It's June twenty second, and
Speaker 1: they got their first winning the month on the road yesterday.
Speaker 1: They're two to twelve in their last fourteen games overall
Speaker 1: for the Dodgers. Today, a chance to end this homestand
Speaker 1: on a winning note. Take this series from the Washington
Speaker 1: Nationals show, Hey otawy on the mound, first pitch at
Speaker 1: one ten and with more we head out to Dodgers
Speaker 1: Stadium in the Gallpin Motors broadcast booth as we say hello,
Speaker 1: good afternoon to Tim Neffett and Rick Monday.
Speaker 7: Guys, Thanks town, pleasant day here at Dodgers Stadium as
Speaker 7: the long home stand wraps up in this long stretch
Speaker 7: of games, twenty three and twenty four days will come
Speaker 7: to an end before the Dodgers get a day off
Speaker 7: for a travel day. Tomorrow Dodgers and Nationals Game three.
Speaker 7: This is the rubber game. Last night, the Nationals put
Speaker 7: seven runs on the board and the Dodgers only three
Speaker 7: in winning Game two. But mo last night was unusual
Speaker 7: in a way. There were seven home runs hit in
Speaker 7: the ball game. In the Mets Phillies game yesterday, the
Speaker 7: Mets had seven solo homers and it was the only
Speaker 7: day in Major League history where there were seven solo
Speaker 7: homers hit in two games on the same day.
Speaker 2: See, every time you come to the ballpark, you never
Speaker 2: know what you're going to see, including in this series.
Speaker 2: I mean, keep in mind the Nashvill's five home runs yesterday,
Speaker 2: and yet when they came into town, of the thirty
Speaker 2: teams in baseball, they were twenty second on the list
Speaker 2: in home runs that were hit well. They hit three
Speaker 2: in Game one, they hit five last night. So a
Speaker 2: club that is not known for the long bowl has
Speaker 2: certainly delivered it here in the first two games of
Speaker 2: this series.
Speaker 7: In La show hey Otani on the hill. Today he'll
Speaker 7: also lead off. So again you come to the ballpark,
Speaker 7: you see things you don't normally see. The starting pitcher
Speaker 7: leading off for the Dodgers.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: The other part too, is Tascar Hernanez not in the lineup.
Speaker 2: That was pre planned. Will Smith not in the lineup
Speaker 2: that was pre planned also by Dave Roberts, the Dodger manager.
Speaker 2: And if we look back to last night, kind of
Speaker 2: a strange outy for Dustin May. Six innings, three runs
Speaker 2: on the five hits. All three runs were on the
Speaker 2: solo home runs. But here's the thing that I thought
Speaker 2: was weird. He had thirty eight swings that were taken
Speaker 2: against him in those six innings. There were only six
Speaker 2: swings and misses, and that numbered itself.
Speaker 5: The Nationals.
Speaker 2: They were just about on everything that he threw.
Speaker 7: So today the Dodger offense tries to get something in
Speaker 7: gear hitting into a day off. Otani, relatively speaking, has
Speaker 7: been slumping. He's got just two home runs in his
Speaker 7: last eighteen games. A slugging percentage has dropped fifty points
Speaker 7: since the beginning of the month. Mookie Betts has gone
Speaker 7: two for nine this series, eight for his last fifty
Speaker 7: that's a one sixty average. Freddy Freeman's been struggling fourteen
Speaker 7: for his last seventy one in nineteen games this month.
Speaker 7: That's one ninety seven. So Otani, Betts and Freeman hoping
Speaker 7: to get going there. They're slumping at the same time.
Speaker 7: Maybe they'll get hot at the same time.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I mean, if you look at the bottom line at Galton,
Speaker 2: Rushing is going to do the catching today. He'll bannen
Speaker 2: the nine spot. Michael is again in left field. Interesting,
Speaker 2: you look at Conforto, you think, well, the right hander,
Speaker 2: the left handed matchup. He being a left handed batter,
Speaker 2: but it's the right handed breaking stuff that has given
Speaker 2: him problems over the last couple of years. And they're
Speaker 2: going to be facing a guy and Michael Soroco who
Speaker 2: has allowed a very low batting average against in particular,
Speaker 2: not only the curveball, but also the slider.
Speaker 7: Yeah, he'll throw the slur occasionally. The mixture of the
Speaker 7: curve and the slider too. As far as the Nationals go,
Speaker 7: we are witnessing this year the emergence of a potential
Speaker 7: star in baseball James Wood. Last night a four hundred
Speaker 7: and fifty one foot blast just to the right of
Speaker 7: the batter's eye in center field. Twenty one home runs
Speaker 7: on the year for the youngster. He has been dynamic
Speaker 7: for the national.
Speaker 2: He's fun to watch and the more and more we
Speaker 2: see of him. I mentioned last night he appears to
Speaker 2: have a very slow heartbeat, doesn't rush into situations, and
Speaker 2: in fact, the heartbeat appears to be so slow. And
Speaker 2: made a comment to you earlier today he comes to
Speaker 2: the home plate like he just woke up for a minute. Afternoon, nap.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's just calm, cool and collective. He does
Speaker 2: not expand the strike zone, at least what we've seen
Speaker 2: so far. We're hearing he does on the breaking balls,
Speaker 2: but we'll find out here this afternoon.
Speaker 7: Michael Soroka show, Hey O'tani with Ben Casparius expected to
Speaker 7: follow Nationals and the Dodgers Game three, the rubber game
Speaker 7: of this three game set.
Speaker 1: Coming up, Tim, All right, thank you guys, as we

Speaker 1: game day meal on. Hey, it's lunchtime Shaky's Pizza Parlor

Speaker 1: show Hey, O'tani's appearance on the mound, You'll hear from
Speaker 1: the manager Dave Roberts. You'll hear from David Vatsea. You
Speaker 1: will hear from Clayton Kershaw. We'll dive deeper into this
Speaker 1: pitch matchup. So much still to come up next. You're
Speaker 1: O Tani. Rewind and we'll visit with sports in LA's
Speaker 1: heirston Watson, thanks for being with us as we lead
Speaker 1: you up to Dodgers and Nationals show, Hey Otani on
Speaker 1: the mound, first pitch of one ten. I'm Tim Kass,
Speaker 1: the world champion lost angelas Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 6: Well, this is Morongo Casino Dodgers on your home for
Speaker 6: La Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 1: It's the Dodgers and the Nationals on this Sunday afternoon show,
Speaker 1: Hey Otani on the mound making his second start in
Speaker 1: a Dodger uniform. First pitch coming up at one ten.
Speaker 5: This is the Otani rewide.
Speaker 1: Well, it's been a quiet week in a homestead for
Speaker 1: show Hey Otani, who is on the mound today, showy
Speaker 1: Otani over four last night at the plate with two
Speaker 1: strikeouts the last seven days, showy Otani hitting two sixty nine,
Speaker 1: zero home runs, only one extra base hit and he
Speaker 1: has struck out eleven times. So showy Otani looking to
Speaker 1: get it done and back on track at the plate
Speaker 1: and on the mounta today. First pitch coming up at
Speaker 1: one ten.
Speaker 6: This is Kirston's Corner with Kirston Watson.
Speaker 1: Hey Keiron now joins this to buy cars for kids.
Speaker 1: Ready to donate your old car? Call eight seven seven
Speaker 1: Cars for Kids right now, friendly agent standing by to
Speaker 1: take your donation. That's Cars with the K to donate
Speaker 1: your car today. We've gotten so used to saying happy
Speaker 1: Curse Shaw Day over the last eighteen years, Kirsten Watson.
Speaker 1: Now we get to say happy show Heyo Tani Day.
Speaker 8: Literally, it's crazy to think that this time has finally come,
Speaker 8: so he's going to be taking down his second start
Speaker 8: of the season. And of course right now we have
Speaker 8: to remind ourselves he is still building up, so these
Speaker 8: aren't going to be traditional starts. In his last outing
Speaker 8: he only threw one inning. The pitch tout did get
Speaker 8: a little bit up. He was able to limit the
Speaker 8: damage just to one run.
Speaker 9: But today there's still kind of that question.
Speaker 8: Mark as to what things are actually going to look like.
Speaker 8: Is he is it going to one inning of work?
Speaker 8: Is it going to be two innings of work? It
Speaker 8: really just depends on the efficiency. Dave Roberts did say
Speaker 8: today that he does believe that, you know, the stuff's
Speaker 8: going to be the command is going to be a
Speaker 8: little bit stronger. He does suspect like the efficiency will
Speaker 8: be there today. So it could be one inning of work,
Speaker 8: it could be two innings of work. We've seen him,
Speaker 8: whether it's been in a sim game, kind of get
Speaker 8: up to that forty four pitch count range. So there
Speaker 8: is there are some my guess quote unquote, like bullets
Speaker 8: in there for him.
Speaker 9: It's just a matter.
Speaker 8: Of of course, how demanding the inning of work is. Things
Speaker 8: like that, the pitch count so we'll see what happens,
Speaker 8: but it sounds like we'll be in that one to
Speaker 8: two inning range for him today and.
Speaker 1: When Showy exit stage left, it'll be Ben Casparrius to
Speaker 1: come in for the bulk innings. And Ben has been
Speaker 1: really good in whatever role he's been asked to do.
Speaker 9: He really has and right now there you know, we're
Speaker 9: kind of seeing it.
Speaker 8: Today's game is you've got two starters who are essentially
Speaker 8: building up, but due to some of the injuries, to
Speaker 8: the rotation to the bullpen, you now have two starters
Speaker 8: who are building up at the big league level. So
Speaker 8: for Ben, he's just very much like whatever's been asked
Speaker 8: of me, I will do, even coming out of I
Speaker 8: guess two.
Speaker 9: Outings to go. Now we were told that he'd be
Speaker 9: stepping in as a starter.
Speaker 8: That was before show he decided that he would rather
Speaker 8: be throwing in big league games and in sim games
Speaker 8: to kind of with his build up.
Speaker 9: So for Ben, I mean, he has built up a.
Speaker 8: Bit more than Showhead, but right now they're just continuing
Speaker 8: with that progression.
Speaker 9: So in his last one what he nearly got through
Speaker 9: four innings of work.
Speaker 8: So we'll just kind of see where the game is
Speaker 8: at what the needs are.
Speaker 9: But right now it's just seeing the two of those
Speaker 9: guys build up truly as starters.
Speaker 8: And then seeing what is needed, especially I Ben as
Speaker 8: things go down the line.
Speaker 1: Looking at the lineup today for the Dodgers, Dalton Rush
Speaker 1: and behind the plate in the outfield left right, Michael CONFORDO, Hey, Song,
Speaker 1: Kim and Andy Pott has no ta Oscar.
Speaker 9: No ta Oscar. And look, if you remind ourselves, is
Speaker 9: that the team is not to go on the road.
Speaker 9: They're going through Colorado.
Speaker 8: Which is not always easy on the body. So Dave
Speaker 8: Roberts really just wanted to give ta Oscar two days
Speaker 8: off with the off day tomorrow, so for him, just
Speaker 8: a routine just a routine day. Obviously we saw last
Speaker 8: night which is kind of the top of the order,
Speaker 8: a little bit limited offensively. We know that Freddy Freeman's
Speaker 8: and going through some struggles, and even for Tay, I
Speaker 8: mean for him to kind of getting back to where
Speaker 8: he wants to be since coming off the il with
Speaker 8: that leg injury or grain injury. So he is someone
Speaker 8: who he feels like things are coming together we call
Speaker 8: a home run late in the game, he of course
Speaker 8: will be available off.
Speaker 9: The bench, but the routine off day for him today.
Speaker 1: Kirsten, we appreciate it. Can't wait to see it in
Speaker 1: studio on Sports net l Live pre and post. We
Speaker 1: appreciate it, Kirsten. Coming up here on Wrongo Casino Dodgers
Speaker 1: on Deck, we'll dive deeper into this pitching matchup with
Speaker 1: show Hey Otani on the Mount. David bats goes one
Speaker 1: on one with Clayton Kershop. But up next, well here
Speaker 1: for the manager himself, Dave Roberts. That's next. As we
Speaker 1: lead you up to Dodgers and Nationals on this Sunday afternoon,
Speaker 1: First bitch at one ten. I'm Tim Kasey's the world
Speaker 1: champion Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 6: This is Marongo Casino Dodgers on Deck.
Speaker 5: On your home for the blue all season long.
Speaker 1: Marongo Casino Dodgers on Deck continues on this Sunday afternoon,
Speaker 1: as we lead you up to first pitch Dodger and
Speaker 1: Nationals Moraguo Casino Resort and spat a Grand Slam for
Speaker 1: good times, Show Hey Otani on the Mount, First pitcher,
Speaker 1: one ten minutes.
Speaker 5: It's the LA Dodgers Injury Report.
Speaker 1: Presented by UCLA Healthy official medical partner of the Los
Speaker 1: Angeles Dodgers. Tony Gonsolin on the sixty day IL with
Speaker 1: the right elbow swords. Tyler Glass now on the I
Speaker 1: L with the shoulder inflammation. He is in Triple A
Speaker 1: Oklahoma City today making a start in a rehab appearance.
Speaker 1: Blake Snell on the IL. Luis Garcia on the IL.
Speaker 1: Rookie Sasaki is throwing it on flat ground. He's on
Speaker 1: the sixty day IL with the right shoulder impingchment. Blake
Speaker 1: trying it on the IL, working his way back from
Speaker 1: right forum tightness. Bruce dark graderol haven't heard his name
Speaker 1: in a while, been on this IL all season long
Speaker 1: with the right shoulder injury. All right, we head back
Speaker 1: out to Dodger Stadium check in with the Dodgers skipper
Speaker 1: any Dave.
Speaker 4: Do you think questions for Dave?
Speaker 5: Dave? Can you just describe Dave?
Speaker 4: Can you talk about the pressure in.
Speaker 6: The dugouts with Dave Roberts, Oh, Tommy making his second
Speaker 6: start today, is they're a little bit more normalcy?
Speaker 4: What to expect him this type of situation?
Speaker 10: Yeah, I think that certainly the anticipation is kind of
Speaker 10: you know, we've done that the first one came out
Speaker 10: of it fine. Today, I think it'll be a lot
Speaker 10: more as you said, normally excited to see him, though
Speaker 10: the baseball expected to be a lot more you know,
Speaker 10: you know, efficient, better pitch making. But yeah, we'll see.
Speaker 10: But I'm not sure if it's gonna be one or
Speaker 10: two innings, but yeah, it's gonna be a fun day.
Speaker 4: Whatever your bumpers are.
Speaker 11: Without revealing too much, is there any room to be
Speaker 11: convinced for him to do more or.
Speaker 5: If he feels great?
Speaker 4: Or are you sticking to hard and fast rules here?
Speaker 10: I think right now it's more hard and fast, and
Speaker 10: then you know, as we kind of build more of
Speaker 10: a foundation, then we'll there'll be some latitude. But yeah, was.
Speaker 11: There any consideration about not having him that lead off today?
Speaker 10: You know I asked him before his last start and
Speaker 10: he said that he's completely fine with hitting lead off,
Speaker 10: doesn't want to change, and so I think right now
Speaker 10: we'll stay status quo. But you know, coming out of
Speaker 10: this one, he could say maybe you know, it might
Speaker 10: make more sense to you know, hit second or third
Speaker 10: or fourth, but right now will remain status quo.
Speaker 1: I you said last time to the swing, is there
Speaker 1: more issue for him last week or so bad? Have
Speaker 1: you seen any signs of fatigue.
Speaker 12: Or different now that he's kind of rammed.
Speaker 1: Up the Jane Games.
Speaker 10: I have not seen signs of fatigue. I think, like
Speaker 10: all hitters, when you start chasing outside the strike zone,
Speaker 10: it's hard to have consistent success. I don't think that's
Speaker 10: a fatigue thing. And so but we'll manage it. And
Speaker 10: I think I can only take him at his word,
Speaker 10: and the swing speed and all the stuff we sort
Speaker 10: of track is still in line. So I think that
Speaker 10: we're still gathering. But again, like I've said, once we
Speaker 10: ramp up more, it might be a different conversation.
Speaker 1: All right, there's a manager, Dave Roberts, talking a lot
Speaker 1: about show here. Tani still a batting lead off tonight.
Speaker 1: How far will he go in his outing today? And
Speaker 1: what is in store for him moving forward? When we
Speaker 1: continue here on Dodgers on Deck, we move forward as
Speaker 1: we check in with David Bassey. Lead you out to
Speaker 1: First Bitch Dodgers National start number two in the Dodger uniform.
Speaker 1: First show, Hey, Otani, that starts at one ten. I'm
Speaker 1: Tim Kats's the world champion Los Angeles Dodgers Audio.
Speaker 6: Network as we were saying yes' is Morongo Casino Dodgers
Speaker 6: on deck on the official home of La Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 1: Dodgers National final game of this three game set, Dodgers
Speaker 1: going for the series win, final game of this ten
Speaker 1: game homestand after taking two or three from the Giants,
Speaker 1: three or four from the Padres, looking to take two
Speaker 1: of three from Washington, and they got show Hey Otani
Speaker 1: on the mount, first pitch coming up at one.
Speaker 6: Ten, joining Tim Cats on Dodgers on Tech.
Speaker 4: I accept everybody for who they are.
Speaker 5: This is Dodger insider.
Speaker 1: David David now joins us on this Sunday before show
Speaker 1: Hey Otani second outing in a Dodger uniform, and David
Speaker 1: certainly is still a buzz anytime he takes the mound.
Speaker 1: We saw it on Monday night against the Padres. Here
Speaker 1: he is in his second start. What do we expect?
Speaker 1: Maybe different today than what we saw on Monday night, length,
Speaker 1: more pitches, What do we expect?
Speaker 11: Yeah, I would say, as the Dodgers laid this out
Speaker 11: when they announced that he was gonna finish his rehab
Speaker 11: in major league games, that he would have a progression
Speaker 11: like he would if he was on a rehab stint
Speaker 11: in Oklahoma City, so that first start was one inning.
Speaker 11: He threw twenty eight pitches. That's not something the Dodgers
Speaker 11: want to see again. They would like probably to get
Speaker 11: Otani through three innings today. And I don't believe it
Speaker 11: was a coincidence that Ben Casparius went out to throw
Speaker 11: a bullpen session after show Hao Tani through his bullpen
Speaker 11: session yesterday. So it feels like Ben Casparius, at least
Speaker 11: for the time being, is kind of linked to show Heotani.
Speaker 11: So I would expect to see casparraus at some point today.
Speaker 1: Dave Roberts, smart pror the front office talked about it.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be one start a week, David for Showyotani.
Speaker 1: We saw him on Monday. They didn't want him going
Speaker 1: to Colorado, right and having to pitch at the high
Speaker 1: altitude at Corus. Feels that's why they make sure the
Speaker 1: decision to have him start today on this Sunday.
Speaker 11: That's what I thought, and that's what I was kind
Speaker 11: of gleaning from what Dave Roberts was saying, and with
Speaker 11: the Dodgers making that decision to have Otani pitch today
Speaker 11: in a day game. Nonetheless, after playing last night, is
Speaker 11: better than having him pitch at Corsefield the day after
Speaker 11: and off day. I mean, how many times have we
Speaker 11: heard it just from guys that play part time. It's
Speaker 11: such a big adjustment to play at the Mile High City.
Speaker 11: So this is the right move, and you know, obviously
Speaker 11: it's going to be another exciting day. I would expect
Speaker 11: to sell out on this Sunday afternoon at Dodgers Stadium
Speaker 11: just so they could see show he Otani be that
Speaker 11: two way player. So yeah, I feel like the Dodgers
Speaker 11: weighed the different options, and let's not forget Otani also
Speaker 11: is a major part of this decision making process. So
Speaker 11: to me, it always made sense to have it today
Speaker 11: rather than him if he is if we're going under
Speaker 11: the guys of him being in a rehab mode, course
Speaker 11: Field is not the place you want to have a
Speaker 11: rehab start, definitely.
Speaker 1: David is brought to by the two twenty five four
Speaker 1: one to fifty from California's best selling truck brand. It's
Speaker 1: time to see a Ford in a new light, take
Speaker 1: advantage of employee pricing through the end of June, David,
Speaker 1: last time we saw shoeo Atani pitch, he raced to
Speaker 1: the dugout put on his batting armor. What did you
Speaker 1: notice that first time around? Going into the second start today.
Speaker 11: I didn't notice a guy that was rushing. He obviously
Speaker 11: was looking for the bat boy to hand him his
Speaker 11: hat and his glove, and then they were able to
Speaker 11: bring up his batting helmet, his elbow guarden batting gloves
Speaker 11: up to the top step of the dugout. But if
Speaker 11: you remember, I reported talking to Brian Gorman, who was
Speaker 11: a thirty year Major league umpire and now supervisor for
Speaker 11: Major League Baseball, and I asked him, how is that
Speaker 11: going to work out with the pitch clock, and he said,
Speaker 11: it will be similar to a catcher leading off the
Speaker 11: inning after the last out of the previous inning. So
Speaker 11: a guy that has to put on his catcher gear
Speaker 11: or take off his catcher gear get it's a lot
Speaker 11: more leeway coming up to the plate than other players would.
Speaker 11: And that's what O'tani got. The umpires understand the situation.
Speaker 11: They're not going to start the clock immediately. And I
Speaker 11: remember looking at the clock there was over a minute
Speaker 11: before he walked up to the plate, so there was
Speaker 11: plenty of time between innings for him to come off
Speaker 11: the mound, cool down and also put on his batting
Speaker 11: gloves and elbow and batting helmet and get ready for
Speaker 11: the at bat. Also a funny thing that I saw
Speaker 11: Bob Garan with a towel wiping his forehead. Tim, So
Speaker 11: Bob Garran will be there like a corner man in boxing,
Speaker 11: ready to go.
Speaker 1: Love it, David, appreciate it. What check back in with
Speaker 1: you in just a little bit. Coming up here on

Speaker 1: and DVD lead jumps the First Pitch Show. Hey Otani
Speaker 1: on the mound, I'm Tim Kasey's the world champion Los
Speaker 1: Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 6: This is Marongo Casino, Dodgers on Deck on your home
Speaker 6: for the Blue All season Long Dodgers National Show. Hey oh,
Speaker 6: Tommy makes his second start at Dodging uniform. Mike's Soroka. Yeah,
Speaker 6: you actually pitched for the Nationals first bitch coming number
Speaker 6: one ten and now joined by David Massey. Here's La
Speaker 6: Dodgers broadcaster and World Series champion Dodger Rick Monday.
Speaker 11: Rick Monday, you know all about playing center field at
Speaker 11: Dodgers Stadium in day games. Hey, Song Kim in center
Speaker 11: today for the Dodgers. What are the challenges that we
Speaker 11: fail to recognize?
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be very honest and upfront. I've talked about
Speaker 2: this a couple of different times. I used to hope
Speaker 2: in day games it would be overcast because it's difficult
Speaker 2: to pick up the baseball in relationship looking into the
Speaker 2: stands day games, and then you don't really see the
Speaker 2: ball coming off the bat exceptionally high early in the
Speaker 2: ball game. Now too, Yesterday the longest day of the year,
Speaker 2: so the shadows may not have any effect in this
Speaker 2: afternoons game, but it is difficult in center field. And
Speaker 2: as you and I are talking, you know, Kim was
Speaker 2: just taking some fly balls in center field trying to
Speaker 2: get the contrast. It's difficult with depth perception sometimes in
Speaker 2: day games when you have a cloudless sky, so again
Speaker 2: I used to hope they would be overcast, and.
Speaker 11: When you played center field, the seat colors were a
Speaker 11: little bit different and darker.
Speaker 5: So and the other part too, is years ago.
Speaker 2: Remember there were the dugout boxes right so there was
Speaker 2: not a solid background right behind home plate. There were
Speaker 2: the seats that were that were lower than the field itself,
Speaker 2: so it was difficult to see. And even the back
Speaker 2: wall of the dugout seats were kind of well light colored,
Speaker 2: if you will, not really dark colored, or where there
Speaker 2: was not really a great contrast.
Speaker 11: I've been assured by outfield coach Edino Ebel that hey,
Speaker 11: sung Kim will be wearing his sunglasses and not having
Speaker 11: him on his hat.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I know you don't like that.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, for a couple of reasons. It tells me, Hey,
Speaker 2: you probably have a real good contract with a sunglasses company,
Speaker 2: or b you don't trust your teammates to leave them
Speaker 2: on the bench. Maybe somebody takes them, hey, Rick.
Speaker 11: Speaking of playing defense in a day game at Dodgers Stadium,
Speaker 11: Justin Turner told me this when he played third that
Speaker 11: everybody talks about how tough it is to see fly balls.
Speaker 11: He said, it was really difficult to see ground balls
Speaker 11: at third base.
Speaker 2: Also in spring turning sometimes because not all the ballparks
Speaker 2: have a dark cover. If you will around the seats
Speaker 2: at field level, it can be very, very difficult. The
Speaker 2: other part, too, is people don't understand. The closer you
Speaker 2: get to the field, the better understanding you have is
Speaker 2: the speed of this game is played. The farther away
Speaker 2: you are from the field, it appears that the game
Speaker 2: is much lower. Talking about velocity of the baseball, you
Speaker 2: get close, and I mean so just down in the
Speaker 2: field during manic practice, it's amazing how hard the ball
Speaker 2: gets hit. I mean you have an instant to basically react.
Speaker 5: And also just.
Speaker 11: Sitting by the dugout in games, Rick, I can understand
Speaker 11: when you and others talk about how the game may
Speaker 11: get too fast for certain players or coaches. The game
Speaker 11: is faster when you're even just sitting that near to the.
Speaker 2: Field, and especially when the competition gets at its best,
Speaker 2: for example, late in the games, if you're behind by
Speaker 2: a run or a head by a run, and every
Speaker 2: bald that's thrown, every swing that has made, and every
Speaker 2: catch that you're trying to make, it gets magnified even more.
Speaker 2: And then it gets magnified as you progress during the season.
Speaker 2: And that's why I say all the time. Postseason play
Speaker 2: is a totally different animal. And that's where you really
Speaker 2: have to tell yourself, mentally, emotionally slow the game down.
Speaker 2: You're really telling yourself to slow down, but you'd like
Speaker 2: to say, look, let's slow the game down.
Speaker 4: How many times did you have to tell yourself that?
Speaker 2: A few? A quick story Moury Wills. I've told his
Speaker 2: story twice. Moury Wills playing shortstop and it was against
Speaker 2: the Cincinnati Reds and Frank Robinson was the hitter. More
Speaker 2: is it shortstop? It was a game. I don't remember
Speaker 2: which year it was, but it was a game that
Speaker 2: Maria said they needed to win, and the bases were loaded.
Speaker 2: Here's Frank Robinson. He's at shortstop Maria's and he says
Speaker 2: the game was getting ahead of him. He called time
Speaker 2: out so he could tie his shoe. He goes, there
Speaker 2: was nothing wrong with my shoelaces, but that was his
Speaker 2: way of being able to take a moment slow the
Speaker 2: game down. And then I asked him, so, what was
Speaker 2: the results? He says, Thank goodness, he hit the ball
Speaker 2: to somebody else.
Speaker 11: Sometimes that's the best answer. Rick, thanks a lot for
Speaker 11: sharing all that. We'll see how Kim and O'tawi do today.
Speaker 11: Oh that'll be fine, all right, I love it. Another
Speaker 11: win for the Dodgers. We'll send it back to you
Speaker 11: in the studio.
Speaker 1: Tim, all right, thanks a lot of DV. Thanks a lot, Mo.
Speaker 1: As the Dodgers get ready to take on the Washington Nationals,
Speaker 1: that's the game plan. What's your game plan, Dodger fans?
Speaker 1: How about starting your future at a California community college.
Speaker 1: Financial aid's available to help you with tuition, books, Yeah,
Speaker 1: sometimes even the rent. It's time to take that next
Speaker 1: big step. Ball classes are right around the lasses. Give
Speaker 1: bill quickly. You so a roll today and I can
Speaker 1: go to college dot com. Still to come here on
Speaker 1: Dodgers on deck. We'll get you a preview this pitching matchup. Rick,
Speaker 1: We'll be back with Tim Neffertt. They got those keys
Speaker 1: to the game with shoe A O'tani on the Mount.
Speaker 1: Up next, so we go high and tight with Clayton
Speaker 1: Kershaw Dodgers Nationals. First pitch of one ten. I'm Tim
Speaker 1: Katson's the 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 1: It's the Dodgers and the Washington Nationals, final game of
Speaker 1: this three game series, final game of this homestand show
Speaker 1: Hey Otani on the Mount Dodgers Baseball's proximy. Then she
Speaker 1: hand crafted sushi. We got it for lunch today, Colinye
Speaker 1: and I here in studio. I picked up a mango
Speaker 1: crunchy dragon roll. I got a spicy two in a roll.
Speaker 1: Colin wanted the salmon roll, but not gonna do that today.
Speaker 1: They got poke bowls as well, if you like those.
Speaker 1: They got platters for any part of that you're going
Speaker 1: to find ze. She knear the deli counter at Ralph's
Speaker 1: So easy to find, so simple to pick up. It's
Speaker 1: made fresh on site daily by professionally trained sushi chefs.
Speaker 1: Saw the guys and gals today or at the Ralps
Speaker 1: and Burbank on point of vistas, then she handcrafted sushi,
Speaker 1: always fast, fresh and easy.
Speaker 6: And now what will likely be vast fielding insults from
Speaker 6: a Dodger player.
Speaker 1: It's an engagement of endearment.
Speaker 5: This this high and tight.
Speaker 11: When a future Hall of Famer is only eight strikeouts
Speaker 11: away from three thousand in his career, you gotta get
Speaker 11: dressed up.
Speaker 4: And I'm dressed up for this guy.
Speaker 11: Clayton Kershaw on Sunday, Thanks a lot for the time,
Speaker 11: and yeah, you look great too.
Speaker 12: Yeah, thanks for thanks for wearing the three piece today, David,
Speaker 12: you look great.
Speaker 4: You look great. How does it feel being just eight
Speaker 4: strikeouts away?
Speaker 5: Now?
Speaker 11: I know Freddy reminds you how close you're getting every start,
Speaker 11: but do you have to fight chasing those eight.
Speaker 12: Bus It's taken a little while, It's taken a little
Speaker 12: longer than I thought, but uh no, you know, I'm
Speaker 12: really just trying to pitch. You know, at the end
Speaker 12: of the day, this wrikeouts are supposed to happen and Uh,
Speaker 12: they'll just come when they come. But it is getting closer.
Speaker 12: You're starting to feel it a little bit more. And uh,
Speaker 12: you know, I try not to pay too much attention
Speaker 12: to it, but you know, I am thankful. My teammates
Speaker 12: are excited for me, and Freddie especially keeps reminding me.
Speaker 12: So it's, uh, that is that is cool. I mean
Speaker 12: it shows that they care and they want me to,
Speaker 12: you know, do something cool like that. So I do
Speaker 12: appreciate that.
Speaker 4: That's cool.
Speaker 11: You hear about hitters when they're on the doorstep of
Speaker 11: five hundred, they kind of go into a little prolonged
Speaker 11: slump trying to hit that home run.
Speaker 4: Is it different for a picture Well, I think.
Speaker 12: So you got more opportunities to strike people out, you know,
Speaker 12: I think, uh, you know, you only get four maybe
Speaker 12: five at bats of game, So that that that's a
Speaker 12: little more understandable. You know, I shouldn't I shouldn't go
Speaker 12: on a strikeout drought that bad. You know, we are
Speaker 12: going to Colorado next, but make make make get it
Speaker 12: through that one and then see where we are.
Speaker 11: Skip Schumacher was your first ever strikeout here at Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 11: How often did you remind them of that, and how
Speaker 11: often do you still remind him?
Speaker 12: Yeah, it's great. You know, I get to uh, I
Speaker 12: get to that for the rest of my life with Skip,
Speaker 12: So that's awesome. And it's just kind of cool that,
Speaker 12: you know, I got to play with Skip and get
Speaker 12: to know him, and he really is one of the best.
Speaker 12: So it's a it's a cool strikeout to have, and yeah,
Speaker 12: I remind him all the time.
Speaker 4: That's great.
Speaker 11: Showey Otani's on the mound today, second time with the Dodgers.
Speaker 11: You're always top step watching every game, but is it
Speaker 11: different on days like today.
Speaker 12: Well, it's just amazing, Like that crowd for the first game,
Speaker 12: it was like it was like a golf match, Like
Speaker 12: it was like we were back in Japan. You know
Speaker 12: how quiet it was because they're just watching so intently,
Speaker 12: and it was so quiet that first sitting just watching show. Hey,
Speaker 12: like you saw everybody on their feet, like with their cameras,
Speaker 12: and it really is just kind of like a spectacle,
Speaker 12: you know. And so you know, eventually we'll get used
Speaker 12: to him being back on the mound and being out
Speaker 12: there every however many times he pitches, but you know,
Speaker 12: the first couple of times is pretty impressive. Because you know,
Speaker 12: we've seen him as this for so long. Now as
Speaker 12: the best hitter in the game and now potentially being
Speaker 12: one of the best pitchers in the game is just
Speaker 12: I mean, it's kind of amazing to see on a
Speaker 12: day and day out.
Speaker 11: Basis were you checking out his preparation before a pitching start.
Speaker 12: It's kind of yeah, like just everything he has to do,
Speaker 12: Like I was, you know, day game. You know, if
Speaker 12: you're pitching a day game, the starter leaves early, and
Speaker 12: I'm like, well, he's got in that bat here in
Speaker 12: the eighth inn. You know, you can't leave, and so
Speaker 12: you know just what all it goes into and all
Speaker 12: the different things that he has to do to get ready.
Speaker 12: It's I'm not envious of him, for sure.
Speaker 11: Hey, I remember a pitcher when pitchers used to hit,
Speaker 11: hitting a big home run against the Giants an opening
Speaker 11: day back in twenty thirteen, So don't sleep on kersh
Speaker 11: on what he can do.
Speaker 12: That's right, Yeah, I mean, show are very similar in
Speaker 12: the box, very similar back in the day.
Speaker 11: Hey, you've seen a lot over the course of your
Speaker 11: eighteen years with the Dodgers. You've had flare ups with
Speaker 11: different teams. Parado, Para Diamondbacks Granky versus Quintin with the Padres.
Speaker 4: What did you make of.
Speaker 11: What took place during that four game series against the Padres.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I just kind of blame it on the schedule.
Speaker 12: You know, you play seven games ten days, and you
Speaker 12: know there's hit by pitches that are a little bit
Speaker 12: more on the forefront of people's minds just because you
Speaker 12: know it's happened so recently. So at the end of
Speaker 12: the day, you know it's it's probably fair on both sides.
Speaker 12: You know, like that tempers boiled over. They didn't like
Speaker 12: Tatis getting hit. We obviously didn't like show Hey getting hit.
Speaker 12: So it's just kind of one of those things as
Speaker 12: part of the game. It happened a lot more back
Speaker 12: in the day, and you know, both teams handled it
Speaker 12: and hopefully it's you know, over and done with come August.
Speaker 11: There was a period of time in thirteen and fourteen
Speaker 11: the Cardinals' pitching staff seemed to be throwing inside with
Speaker 11: no regard and whether or not they would hit any Dodgers.
Speaker 11: What what is the unwritten rules about pitching inside?
Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean you have to pitch inside, you know,
Speaker 12: I think if you hit the same guy on purpose
Speaker 12: or on accident multiple times. You have a right to
Speaker 12: get upset, especially when he's one of your superstars. So
Speaker 12: I understand that side of it for sure. And you know,
Speaker 12: if you're going to retaliate and it's going to be
Speaker 12: on purpose like that, you're going to get suspended. And
Speaker 12: that's that's just the way baseball is. That way he goes.
Speaker 11: Where does it rank as far as it seems like
Speaker 11: you guys take on all comers over the eighteen years
Speaker 11: you've been here, I don't know.
Speaker 4: There wasn't a lot.
Speaker 12: I think that was more you know, Shilty and Doc
Speaker 12: getting after it a little bit, which I appreciate, you know,
Speaker 12: they're both protecting their guys. So I think the players
Speaker 12: it was a little bit more of like a staring contest,
Speaker 12: you know, which is probably probably good.
Speaker 5: We don't need anything.
Speaker 12: But Diamondback one was pretty wild. Yeah, I think that
Speaker 12: was you know, I remember Big Mac having you know,
Speaker 12: Matt Williams over there and Kirk Gibbs, all those guys,
Speaker 12: So that was that.
Speaker 4: One was real.
Speaker 11: That one was real, all right, Clayton, Thanks a lot
Speaker 11: for the time, and look forward to seeing you at
Speaker 11: chorus Field. Eight strikeouts away from joining Steve Carlton, C. C. Sabathia,
Speaker 11: and Randy Johnson as the only left handed pitchers in
Speaker 11: baseball history to have three thousand punchouts.
Speaker 12: That's a great list.
Speaker 9: Thank you.
Speaker 1: That'd be cool.
Speaker 11: All right, there he goes, humble but hungry, the great

Speaker 1: wins at home this season, most in the major leagues.
Speaker 1: When the Boys in Blue play at home, it's important
Speaker 1: they have the right plan to protect their house. The

Speaker 7: Tip never Rick Monday, guys, thanks to we count it
Speaker 7: down to the first pitcher today at Dodgers Stadium, final
Speaker 7: game of this home stand on a Sunday afternoon show. Hey,
Speaker 7: Otani will make his second start. He'll be the opener today.
Speaker 7: Last time out against the Padres went just an inning,
Speaker 7: but he threw twenty eight pitches, which typically is a
Speaker 7: two inning workload. Typically you'll see pitchers when they gear
Speaker 7: up go two innings, thirty pitches, three innings, forty five pitches.
Speaker 7: We'll see what is in store for Otani today, but
Speaker 7: he is the opener. Ben Casparius is expected to take
Speaker 7: the bulk of the innings.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought, just looking at the performance also by Otani,
Speaker 2: you know he threw ninety eight ninety nine and had
Speaker 2: one pitch at one hundred. This is just a stepping
Speaker 2: stone for show Hey Otani to get back into the
Speaker 2: swing of things as far as stretching things out on
Speaker 2: the mound. And we'll find out also that transition after
Speaker 2: the time of the first inning, that transition from being
Speaker 2: a pitcher, put the glove down, grab the bat, come
Speaker 2: to home plate and lead things off.
Speaker 7: Michael Soroko will be facing Otani first in the bottom
Speaker 7: of the first inning, with the starter for the Nationals
Speaker 7: on a one year, nine million dollar deal with Washington,
Speaker 7: the former Atlanta Brave left. He's hitting two sixty seven
Speaker 7: against him at right handers only won seventy nine. So
Speaker 7: we'll see Soroka against Otani slash Casparius today as the
