Speaker 7: and twenty one on the season, sitting alone a top
Speaker 7: first place in the NL West. Well after dropping two
Speaker 7: of three in New York to start this road trip,
Speaker 7: the Dodgers now taken two straight in Cleveland and today
Speaker 7: a chance for a sweep of the Guardians before they
Speaker 7: return home. Clayton Kershaw on the mound, the future Hall
Speaker 7: of Famer first pitch from Progressive Field in Cleveland is
Speaker 7: set for ten to ten this morning. Coming up over
Speaker 7: the next hour here on Morongo Casino, Dodgers on deck,
Speaker 7: you are going to hear from Dodger insider David Vase.
Speaker 7: He'll go one on one with Dino Ebel. We got
Speaker 7: your Dodger manager Dave Roberts that we'll check in with
Speaker 7: in about twenty minutes. Your Dodgers' magical moment in thirty minutes.
Speaker 7: Shortly we'll visit with Sports and LA's Kirsten Watson live
Speaker 7: on the field in Cleveland. In just a few minutes,
Speaker 7: we head out to the Gallpin Motors broadcast booth with
Speaker 7: Tim Neffett and Rick monday Well. Last night in Cleveland,
Speaker 7: the Dodgers offense delivered for a second straight win over
Speaker 7: the Guardians. Dustin May got the start, the right hander
Speaker 7: win five innans, all have three runs on four hits
Speaker 7: while striking out nine along the way, and Dustin May
Speaker 7: got plenty of run support to go along the way.
Speaker 7: Andy Pie has got its larded in the second with
Speaker 7: an RBI single, Then Dalton Rushing got into the.
Speaker 6: Fun runners lead first and third, nobody out and the
Speaker 6: two pitch to Rushing. He swings and lines it in
Speaker 6: the center for a base. Et Pot has will come
Speaker 6: into score and the Dodgers lead it two to nothing, and.
Speaker 2: That was it ninety six. So he did try and
Speaker 2: sneak that fast ball pass team and for rushing, we've
Speaker 2: noticed really in spring trending that Dalton rushing handles that ball.
Speaker 2: This elevated exceptionally well and that was the heater hit
Speaker 2: it right to center field.
Speaker 7: Dalton rushing with the heater back up the middle, Andy
Speaker 7: Pot has scored Dodgers up two to nothing. In the fourth,
Speaker 7: they doubled their lead thanks to show hey Otani at
Speaker 7: his two run home run, his twentieth of the year.
Speaker 7: Don't look now, but he's ahead of pace for where
Speaker 7: he was in twenty twenty four. The Guardians would get
Speaker 7: back three in the bottom half of the fourth, and
Speaker 7: it was a one run game all the way till
Speaker 7: the sixth when Michael canfordo, let's face it.
Speaker 1: He has struggled this year, but not yesterday.
Speaker 6: Gottis puts his glove up in front of his bearded face.
Speaker 6: Now the pitch swung out of this one's well hit
Speaker 6: the center field, headed back toward the bullpens.
Speaker 5: It is going a home run.
Speaker 6: Michael Conforto with a solo homer and the Dodgers now
Speaker 6: with a five.
Speaker 5: To three lead.
Speaker 6: For Confordo his third home run of the year.
Speaker 7: Michael Confordo goes deep. Maybe he's starting to heat up.
Speaker 7: Conforto yesterday goes two for three with the home run
Speaker 7: on pace three times with the walk. The Dodgers would
Speaker 7: pile on more runs in the eighth, Max Munsey's swinging
Speaker 7: that silver Hammler and the ninth and he with a
Speaker 7: three run home run. Dodgers go up nine to three,
Speaker 7: but then Luis Garcia ended up giving two in the
Speaker 7: bottom half of the ninth, with the Dodgers were up
Speaker 7: big at that point. They go on and beat the
Speaker 7: Guardians nine to five. Dustin May has now won two
Speaker 7: starts in a row. He improves to three to four
Speaker 7: on this season. What about Jack Dryer and benkus Sperry's
Speaker 7: They combined for three shutout innings and three strikeouts in relief.
Speaker 7: The two young bullpen arms can continue to lock down
Speaker 7: upon its as the Dodgers get the winner. Now thirty
Speaker 7: four and twenty one on this season, They've won two
Speaker 7: straight in Cleveland, and they look to close out the
Speaker 7: Guardians today with Clayton Kershaw on the mound first pitch
Speaker 7: of ten ten and with more we head out to
Speaker 7: the Gaping Motors broadcast booth as we welcome in Tim
Speaker 7: Neverett and Rick Monday.
Speaker 1: Guys.
Speaker 5: Thanks Tim.
Speaker 6: Overcast day, a little bit of precipitation in the area
Speaker 6: with the Dodgers and Guardians expecting it on time. Start
Speaker 6: here at Progressive Field in game three of this three
Speaker 6: game series. Dodgers have taken the first two and last
Speaker 6: night a nine to five win. As show Hey Otani,
Speaker 6: Michael Confordo and Max Munsey all hit home runs, Monthsey
Speaker 6: a three run blast in the ninth inning. Otani got
Speaker 6: his twentieth back in the fourth, and he was the
Speaker 6: first major leaguer to get to twenty. In fact, we
Speaker 6: look at his pace mope as Otani gets set the
Speaker 6: lead off here today. It took him seventy two games
Speaker 6: last year to get to twenty home runs. It's taken
Speaker 6: him only fifty five this year.
Speaker 2: Well, and you and I are both just dumbfounded at
Speaker 2: times on how pitching staffs are just going to continue
Speaker 2: to challenge him and that they believe they can win
Speaker 2: the battle. That has not been the case, and we
Speaker 2: have not seen people that understand, Hey, look, it might
Speaker 2: not be a bad idea to pitch around him. But
Speaker 2: then you look at the rest of the lineup too,
Speaker 2: they've been able to deliver. In fact, on this road trip,
Speaker 2: the Dodgers eight for eighteen in this series with runners
Speaker 2: in scoring position, and on the trip, even though they
Speaker 2: not won every ball game, they're still hitting over three
Speaker 2: point thirty as a team with opportunity to score. Speaking
Speaker 2: of that, you mentioned the rain. You and I were
Speaker 2: both talking off air. This is the perfect incentive to
Speaker 2: score early in case the rains arrive here a little
Speaker 2: bit earlier. Put some runs up on the board, and
Speaker 2: then hey, if you do have a rain delay, if
Speaker 2: it's an official game, jump on the plane, go back there.
Speaker 6: Like yeah, talk to the skipper Dave Roberts just a
Speaker 6: little while ago about that. I said, what are they
Speaker 6: telling you? He said, between one and three to three
Speaker 6: third the Eastern time should be a good enough window
Speaker 6: to get the game in. If they have to put
Speaker 6: the tarpon, then they'd wait an hour today and.
Speaker 5: Decide what to do.
Speaker 6: So that's kind of where we are right now. The
Speaker 6: ground screw has done a good job getting this field
Speaker 6: prepared for an on time start. There was a little
Speaker 6: bit of a sprinkle this morning, some rain earlier this morning.
Speaker 6: It's very overcast here, but it looks like we will
Speaker 6: have a window to get this ball game in and
Speaker 6: that is great news because the Dodgers don't want to
Speaker 6: have to come back here for a single game anytime.
Speaker 5: This is no they do not.
Speaker 2: And for the ground screw, yeah, they've been very busy.
Speaker 2: We've seen fog here earlier today on top of it.
Speaker 2: So it's kind of where those days a good day
Speaker 2: for a duck possibly and for the Dodgers, they would
Speaker 2: like to have it as a good day for a victory.
Speaker 6: So a little change in the lineup with the left
Speaker 6: hander going. Kolby Allard is going to start this one.
Speaker 6: It's a change for Steven votes Guardian so Allard, the
Speaker 6: lefty who is normally in the bullpen. He's a former
Speaker 6: first round draft choice, been with a couple of other
Speaker 6: ball clubs, was signed as a minor league free agent.
Speaker 6: He'll go and that means that te Oscar Hernandez will
Speaker 6: move up a spot, get the right hander in the
Speaker 6: third spot in the order. Freddie freemanle bat fourth yeah.
Speaker 2: And for Kick a Hernantis, he will start at third
Speaker 2: base and Miguel Rojas is going to be at second.
Speaker 2: Tommy Edmund also returns the lineup Peel patrol center field.
Speaker 2: That moves a pahees over to left field. On top
Speaker 2: of that, Will Smith also back in the ball game.
Speaker 2: By the way, quick note on Will Smith. The last
Speaker 2: fourteen games, the Dodger Kencher is hitting at a three
Speaker 2: ninety pace. He's been very, very high.
Speaker 6: Clayton Kershaw continues his quest for three thousand strikeouts. He
Speaker 6: is just twenty nine away and he makes the start
Speaker 6: against Colby Allard and the Guardians this afternoon.
Speaker 7: Temper all right, thank you guys, as we cut you
Speaker 7: down the first pitch on this Wednesday morning.
Speaker 1: Dodger fans, get your game.

Speaker 6: High fly ball to left in Deep Kwan. Going backs
Speaker 6: to the track, he looks up Hip boskon a home run.
Speaker 6: It's number twenty for all Tony and his show just
Speaker 6: continues to roll. He is unbelievable. An opposite field home
Speaker 6: run for show. Hey O'tani the major league leader in

Speaker 6: and the Dodgers.
Speaker 1: Lead it Ford and up a show.

Speaker 7: three times, scored twice. O'tani the third player in Dodger
Speaker 7: history to reach at least twenty home runs in the
Speaker 7: team's first fifty five games. He joins Gil Hodges and
Speaker 7: Cody Bellinger as the other two Dodgers to do that.

Speaker 7: Call he seven to seven Cars for Kids right now,
Speaker 7: friendly agent standing by to take your donations. That's Cars
Speaker 7: with the K to donate your car today. The last
Speaker 7: twenty four hours, Kearrisen, we kept hearing about the weather.
Speaker 7: The weather is coming and the rain is coming.
Speaker 1: What is the latest?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 8: No, There was a lot of concern of are we
Speaker 8: gonna be making a feme up tomorrow? Are we coming
Speaker 8: back later in the season like in July when the
Speaker 8: team plays in Cincinnati and there's had audit before Tampa.
Speaker 8: There are all these scenarios going around, but as of
Speaker 8: right now, we're in the clear. There's looking like there's
Speaker 8: like a window essentially from now until four o'clock. So
Speaker 8: that's great for us. It's great for Clayton Kershaw who
Speaker 8: can finally have a normal start. But right now things
Speaker 8: look good. It's gonna be an on time start, and
Speaker 8: we're just gonna keep hoping and praying that rain does
Speaker 8: not come. We might have a little bit of a
Speaker 8: drizzles that I'm hearing, maybe that's towards the back end
Speaker 8: of the game, but we're hoping we can be in
Speaker 8: and out of here, that's for sure.
Speaker 7: Clayton Kershaw last time he got the start, also bad
Speaker 7: weather in New York. He only went the two innings
Speaker 7: before they had the ninety eight minute rain delay. I
Speaker 7: know Cursh is anxious to get out there and get
Speaker 7: this game in.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I know.
Speaker 8: He's been funny all week on. It's just because, of course,
Speaker 8: has had his eye on the weather and just like
Speaker 8: you and I, it's always been hearing about for today,
Speaker 8: is it going to be is it gonna be delayed?
Speaker 8: Are they gonna what do they coin to do? And
Speaker 8: he was like, man, what's straw did eye pull? They
Speaker 8: have to deal with all these weather outings. But so
Speaker 8: for him book Dave was saying that he was at
Speaker 8: least really pleased with what he saw even in that
Speaker 8: shorter outing due to weather. So hopefully, you know, this
Speaker 8: can be just a normal outing for him today. The
Speaker 8: stuff has been in a really good spot continuing to
Speaker 8: kind of have that command and control of the game.
Speaker 8: They would like him to be efficient for just the
Speaker 8: ensuing weather that could be coming. So hopefully you can
Speaker 8: go out there, have a really strong outing and kind
Speaker 8: of just get himself also back on track with more
Speaker 8: of a traditional game today.
Speaker 7: How anxious is this team to get this game over with,
Speaker 7: get back home with this big home stand in front
Speaker 7: of him?
Speaker 8: Hereson, Yeah, I mean, when you think about whether it's
Speaker 8: just weather, East Coast trimps are always a hard one,
Speaker 8: the newfound midges that we did not know about here
Speaker 8: in Cleveland, I can confidently say that guys are very
Speaker 8: excited to get home. But also, like you've said, like
Speaker 8: it's a big series against the Yankees this weekend, guys
Speaker 8: are already talking about it. Even though I was talking
Speaker 8: to Landon, Nax is going to have the start on Saturday,
Speaker 8: I believe, and for him, just you was already kind
Speaker 8: of referring to like the last time when the Yankees
Speaker 8: were in Los Angeles when Aaron Judge landing to the
Speaker 8: fence in the outfield and kind of mess up his toe,
Speaker 8: and so like the fact that they're already like just
Speaker 8: talking about those moments, you can tell that, yeah, there's
Speaker 8: a buzz. Also show hand Tani's going to take part
Speaker 8: in a live VP at Dodger Stadium, which I think
Speaker 8: as much as it's not it's not the real thing
Speaker 8: just yet, but just the fact that he's going to
Speaker 8: be on the mount at Dodger Stadium, I mean, there's
Speaker 8: a lot to look forward to over the weekend just
Speaker 8: in general.
Speaker 7: No doubt it's gonna be an exciting homestead coming up.
Speaker 7: But that's then. First things first, Dodgers need to take
Speaker 7: care of business and close out the Guardians today in Cleveland.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Christen. We'll check in with you after the game.
Speaker 7: Still to come here on Dodgers on Deck, will dive
Speaker 7: deeper to this pitching matchup. David vat sag goes one
Speaker 7: all while a Dino evil, but up next to your
Speaker 7: injury report. Hey, we hear from the manager, Dave Roberts.
Speaker 7: It's the Dodgers and Guardians on this Wednesday morning, first
Speaker 7: pitch of ten ten.
Speaker 1: I'm Tim Kasi is the world champion.
Speaker 7: Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 3: This is Marongo Casino Dodgers on Deck on your home
Speaker 3: for the Blue All season log.
Speaker 7: Marogo Casino Dodgers on Deck continues as we lead you
Speaker 7: out to the first pitch on this Wednesday morning, Dodgers
Speaker 7: and Guardians, Marongo Casino Resort and spot a grand slam
Speaker 7: of four good times. Clayton Kershaw on the mound, first
Speaker 7: pitch from Progressive Field, coming up at ten ten.
Speaker 3: This it's the LA Dodgers Injury Report.
Speaker 7: Presented by UCLA Healthy Official Medical partner of the Los
Speaker 7: Angeles Dodgers. Rookie Sasaki on the IL. Kirby Yates bothered
Speaker 7: by the right hamstring strain. Evan Phillips on the IL
Speaker 7: with the sort right forearm. Tyler Glass now Blake Snell
Speaker 7: also on the IL with the shoulder inflammation. Michael Kopex
Speaker 7: in Oklahoma City. There's a couple of minor league rehab
Speaker 7: assignments underneath his belt. He was trending in the right direction,
Speaker 7: possibly a return for Michael Kopek and the next homestand
Speaker 7: all right, let's ted back out to Cleveland and checking
Speaker 7: out with the Dodger skipper.
Speaker 5: The questions for Dave Dave?
Speaker 3: Can you just describe Dave? Can you talk about the
Speaker 3: pressure in the dugouts with Dave Robberts.
Speaker 10: I think early we should be fine, and then there
Speaker 10: might be something light as far as some weather, and
Speaker 10: then later on the afternoon it starts to pick up.
Speaker 10: So hopefully we start on time and get as many
Speaker 10: get as much of this game played as possible.
Speaker 8: With Kershoff, of course, his last outing was shortened due
Speaker 8: to weather. What are you looking to see from him today?
Speaker 8: And does it pose it as a challenge just knowing
Speaker 8: that weather could potentially play in this one as.
Speaker 10: Well A little bit. I know he was a little
Speaker 10: kind of making jokes about him pitching again with weather looming.
Speaker 10: But I think today for me, the other day when
Speaker 10: he had the abbreviated start, I thought this stuff was good,
Speaker 10: albeit at short two innings. Just more of what he's done,
Speaker 10: I think the stuff has been good. Just the command
Speaker 10: just to continue to harness that command, which I think
Speaker 10: he's very mindful of today and you know, go as
Speaker 10: long as he can.
Speaker 9: How much does he had to like adapt the way
Speaker 9: he attacks hitters, especially just with where his stuff is
Speaker 9: at right now, even when it is kind of playing
Speaker 9: a kind of relative to where he's at, But as
Speaker 9: he had to change the way he goes after guys,
Speaker 9: you know, even compared to the last couple of years.
Speaker 10: You know what he over the last couple of years,
Speaker 10: I think that he's been mindful of that. And also
Speaker 10: hitters nowadays are very in tune with game planning and tendencies,
Speaker 10: So I think that in itself calls for pitchers to
Speaker 10: kind of change the game plan. I do think that
Speaker 10: clayton'still one more change ups recently, I think the curveball
Speaker 10: introduced a little bit more or using the other side
Speaker 10: of the plate and just trying not to be as predictable.
Speaker 10: So he's certainly mindful of that. Absolutely.
Speaker 7: All Right, there's the manager Dave Roberts' pregame thoughts. So
Speaker 7: we continue here on Wrongco Casino Dodgers on deck.
Speaker 1: We'll check in with the David V.
Speaker 7: Say as we leads up to first pitch from Cleveland
Speaker 7: Dodgers and Guardians on this Wednesday morning. I'm Tim Kas's
Speaker 7: World champion Los Angeles Dodgers audio notwork.
Speaker 5: As we were saying.
Speaker 3: Yes, is Marongo Casino Dodgers on deck on the official
Speaker 3: home of La Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 7: It's the Dodgers and Guardians. Clayton Kershaw Kobe Aller.
Speaker 1: The pitching matchup.
Speaker 7: Kobe a left hander out of San Clementia High School,
Speaker 7: first pitch from Progressive Field.
Speaker 1: The Cleveland is coming up at ten.
Speaker 3: Ten joining Tim Kats on Dodgers on deck.
Speaker 5: I accept everybody for who they are.
Speaker 3: This is Dodger insider David Basse.
Speaker 7: All right, DV Dodgers wrapping up this series Progressive Field.
Speaker 7: They've won the first two games last night. Last night
Speaker 7: it was Michael CONFORDO and Max Munsey delivering for the Dodgers.
Speaker 7: What do you think maybe he's the wild card or
Speaker 7: the guy or what could deliver today in Cleveland?
Speaker 5: Yeah, that would be the Cleveland grounds crew.
Speaker 11: They are the wildcard today because of their quick trigger
Speaker 11: to pull the tarp when no rain is falling down
Speaker 11: two hours in advance of rain. That's what took place
Speaker 11: two years ago. The last time the Dodgers were in Cleveland,
Speaker 11: and let's not forget the World Series where the Cubs
Speaker 11: won that Game seven. It was the Cleveland grounds crew
Speaker 11: that pulled the tarp prematurely to give the Cubs the
Speaker 11: chance to regroup and stop their home team momentum. So yeah,
Speaker 11: that's the wildcard today. Tim, the head grounds crew guy
Speaker 11: out there in Cleveland, has been there a very long time.
Speaker 11: He has a reputation that is not spotless as far
Speaker 11: as judgment calls when it comes to pulling the tarp.
Speaker 11: So yeah, they are the wildcard today. With rain circling
Speaker 11: around that stadium.
Speaker 7: David has driven by Ford It there's one thing we like.
Speaker 7: It's choices fine yours With the Ford F one fifty
Speaker 7: gas hybrid all electric tough, this march can only be
Speaker 7: called F one fifty. Clayton Kershaw has accomplished a lot
Speaker 7: in his career, David, Why does he keep.
Speaker 1: Going at the age of thirty seven.
Speaker 11: It's not to chase three thousand strikeouts. He has been
Speaker 11: adamant about that with me a couple of different times.
Speaker 11: He's only twenty nine strikeouts away from three thousand in
Speaker 11: his career.
Speaker 5: But what really keeps him going?
Speaker 11: And I know this sounds cliche, but part of it
Speaker 11: is his younger kids haven't seen him pitch, so he
Speaker 11: wants to keep going. So you know, his middle son,
Speaker 11: Cooper gets to see him going. Charlie, his oldest son,
Speaker 11: loves to be around the ballpark, loves to watch him
Speaker 11: pitches into baseball. So that's part of the motivating factor.
Speaker 11: And also, you know, there would be a certain sense
Speaker 11: of fomo for Kershaw if he hung it up and
Speaker 11: this very talented Dodger team went on to win back
Speaker 11: to back World Series championships. And the one thing that
Speaker 11: he really pointed out to me, Tim was that he
Speaker 11: didn't want injuries to take him out of the game.
Speaker 11: He didn't want his shoulder, his knee, his foot to
Speaker 11: send him into retirement.
Speaker 5: He wants to do that on his own.
Speaker 11: He even told me, if I get racked for eight
Speaker 11: runs every start and that sends me into retirement, I
Speaker 11: could live with that more than injuries sending me into retirement, Dave.
Speaker 7: Yesterday, Michael Confordo mentioned it, him and Max Munsey both
Speaker 7: going deep and helping the Dodgers get the win over
Speaker 7: the Guardians.
Speaker 1: Can he keep it going?
Speaker 11: I think today's going to be a test and moving forward,
Speaker 11: because yesterday it seemed like a weight had been lifted
Speaker 11: off Conford's shoulders. You guys had talked about the first
Speaker 11: home run since April fifth. It was also his first
Speaker 11: extra base hit since May fifteenth. So let's see if
Speaker 11: he can keep this going, and let's see if we
Speaker 11: could change the narrative from Dodger broadcasters that he's hitting
Speaker 11: the ball hard to actually getting hits.
Speaker 7: All right, David, appreciate it. We'll check back in with
Speaker 7: you in just a little bit. Dodgers Baseball is brought

Speaker 3: Ten and now joined by David bas saying, here's La
Speaker 3: Dodgers broadcaster and World Series champion Dodger Rick Monday.
Speaker 5: All right, Rick Monday.
Speaker 11: The Dodgers looking to sweep this series and come home
Speaker 11: on a happy flight.
Speaker 2: And hopefully an early flight. There was the threat of rain.
Speaker 2: In fact, yesterday they were contemplating would the game start
Speaker 2: earlier or would it start later. Well, the weather man
Speaker 2: is saying that there is a window of opportunity. It's
Speaker 2: not raining the present time. Earlier this morning it was
Speaker 2: that has stopped. At the present time, We've had some
Speaker 2: fog that came in. Yesterday was the anniversary of oil
Speaker 2: Canvoyd saying, with the fog density, what do you expect
Speaker 2: when you build a ballpark on the ocean. But that
Speaker 2: obviously it's it's lick erie. So anyway, by the way,
Speaker 2: you have some splaining to do, because we got into
Speaker 2: a discussion yesterday about the valley. You grew up on
Speaker 2: the north side of the Santa Manca Mountains. I grew
Speaker 2: up on the south side of the Santa Manca Mountains.
Speaker 2: I'm not going to give away the city that you
Speaker 2: live in, but it seems you could give it right now. No, well,
Speaker 2: you know the mayor Woodland Hills, by the way, you
Speaker 2: have a lovely family. They're not too pleased that you
Speaker 2: happen to be there individually. But there are some other
Speaker 2: cities that you said were not part of the valley
Speaker 2: that I'm seeing on this map that are part of
Speaker 2: the valley, including West Hills, Border Ranch, cor not A Hills, Silmar,
Speaker 2: Lakeview Terrace, Pacoimas, Sunland that is north Ridge.
Speaker 5: Those are all part of the San Fernando Valley.
Speaker 4: I was.
Speaker 11: I was setting the record straight that high schools like
Speaker 11: saugust Hart High School not part of the San Fernando Valley.
Speaker 2: Okay, well, sill Mar is also part of that too.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, Silmar's part of it.
Speaker 11: Yeah, for sure. I'll give you a tour one day.
Speaker 11: Would you like to do a San Fernando Valley tour?
Speaker 2: I would love to, but I actually I've had it before.
Speaker 2: My grandparents lived for a long time in Sunland.
Speaker 11: I guess the one dodger that made the San Fernando
Speaker 11: Valley popular Rick is Don Drysdale from Van Eyes.
Speaker 2: Absolutely absolutely, and that was one of the early ones.
Speaker 2: And then you know, that's really a dream when you
Speaker 2: grew up in an area and then you wind up
Speaker 2: not only playing for the local team, but being a
Speaker 2: Hall of Fame player for the local team on top
Speaker 2: of it. But you're absolutely right, the big d of
Speaker 2: a local product.
Speaker 5: What made Don Drysdale so special.
Speaker 11: I feel like, obviously everybody bows at the altar of
Speaker 11: Sandy Kofax, and rightfully so. But sometimes Drysdale, as we
Speaker 11: get further away from his playing career, is a little
Speaker 11: overshadowed by how great Cofax was.
Speaker 2: Well, he may have been overshadowed, he was never unappreciated
Speaker 2: from that standpoint. I've told the story before, I'll glance
Speaker 2: over it again. When Tommy Lissorta was trying to sign me.
Speaker 2: Tommy was a scout back then when I was at
Speaker 2: Santa Monica High School, invited to play tryouts for the
Speaker 2: Dodger rookie team, and Tommy was the manager of that team,
Speaker 2: and we went around he tried to sign me, and
Speaker 2: one of the nights he took my mother and I
Speaker 2: My mom a single parent, to die Stadium and we went.
Speaker 2: He took me down into the locker room. I met
Speaker 2: a couple of different guys, and he asked my mother.
Speaker 2: He said, look, is there anything that you really like
Speaker 2: to have? She said, yes, is there possible that I
Speaker 2: could get the autograph of Sandy Kofax and Don Drysdale.
Speaker 2: So she had both of them, and in the consequent
Speaker 2: years that it went along and went along. My mother
Speaker 2: then moved up to Reno, Nevada. Somewhere into that movement,
Speaker 2: she lost the photo that had been signed by Don Drysdale. Somehow,
Speaker 2: some way, Don found out about that, and one day
Speaker 2: in the press box, Don said, hey, you have a
Speaker 2: second I said absolutely, And I really admired the man
Speaker 2: to begin with, and he said, I understand that your
Speaker 2: mother lost an autograph that I gave to you years
Speaker 2: and years ago. I said, yes, that's true. In the transition,
Speaker 2: he goes, here's a baseball, and he had written it.
Speaker 2: He found out my mother's name, He put the signature
Speaker 2: on this baseball. So when I think of Don Drysdale,
Speaker 2: I think from a personal standpoint in what he meant
Speaker 2: to my family and what he meant to my mother.
Speaker 2: And when I gave my mom that baseball that had
Speaker 2: been signed. She had tears in her eyes. So it
Speaker 2: was just one of those special things. Don was not
Speaker 2: only a very good baseball player, terrific announcer, very bright
Speaker 2: guy on top of it.
Speaker 11: Yeah, you guys share something that not too many broadcasters
Speaker 11: are able to do. Rick, you both played and are
Speaker 11: not just analysts but play by play radio and TV broadcasters.
Speaker 11: Not too many former players are able to do that.
Speaker 2: No, and Don took it to heart on being able
Speaker 2: to do that. He loved the game of baseball and
Speaker 2: the people in and on top of it. And there's
Speaker 2: a special place in history, remember too, is that Don
Speaker 2: drives the own Sandy Kofax. They tanned them, held out
Speaker 2: for a better contract one year. I mean they went
Speaker 2: arm at arm and they understood exactly the importance that
Speaker 2: they presented to the Dodgers in their starting rotation.
Speaker 11: A whopping one hundred thousand dollars they signed for after
Speaker 11: Is that all out?
Speaker 2: Yeah, some kind of a bargain. Yeah, if you look
Speaker 2: at it in modern day times. Yes, I don't know
Speaker 2: what that equates to in today's dollars, but it was
Speaker 2: still significantly below I think what the premium players are
Speaker 2: drawing right now as far as pitchers.
Speaker 5: All right.
Speaker 2: And by the way, you know the game's changed a
Speaker 2: little bit. Look at the complete games that they pitched.
Speaker 11: Also, yeah, no doubt, I mean three hundred innings was
Speaker 11: a bare minimum for those type of guys.
Speaker 3: HM.
Speaker 11: Rick, can't wait to see you on Friday when the
Speaker 11: Dodgers returned home to have the Yankees at Dodgers Stadium.
Speaker 5: Look forward to that as well.
Speaker 2: Hi, I look forward to the private tour of the
Speaker 2: valley with you.
Speaker 11: We'll do it, Rick, I'll take you to Tommy's in
Speaker 11: get you a chili Berger too.
Speaker 3: Sounds great.
Speaker 2: Let's do it all.
Speaker 5: Right, we'll send it back to you Tim.
Speaker 1: All right, Thanks a lot, guys.
Speaker 7: That's a Dodgers game plan brought to you by California
Speaker 7: Community College. You got Mission College, you got Pierce College,
Speaker 7: got Elliott Valley College, you got Glendale College, all in
Speaker 7: the San Fernando Valley financial lay to be able to
Speaker 7: help you with tuition books sometimes even the rent time
Speaker 7: to take the next big step. Classes can fill up quickly.
Speaker 7: So on roll today and I can go to college
Speaker 7: dot com. Still to come here on Dodgers on Deck
Speaker 7: we'll get you a preview of this pitching matchup. We'll
Speaker 7: get you the keys of the game. But I'm next
Speaker 7: high and tight with Dino Ebel, Dodger third base coach.
Speaker 7: Don't go anywhere. I'm Tim Kasey's world champion Los Angeles
Speaker 7: Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 3: This is Morongo Cassino Dodgers on your home for La
Speaker 3: Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 7: Dodgers and Guardians Clayton Kershaw on the Metal Dot Deeper.
Speaker 1: This pitching matchup coming up Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 7: Bought to you by Zench Sushi, hand crafted, quick, affordable
Speaker 7: meal the whole family could enjoy on game day, made
Speaker 7: fresh onside daily by professionally trained sushi chefs. They got
Speaker 7: them all spicy tuna rolls, tuna rolls, salmon rolls, timper
Speaker 7: shrimp rolls, and of course my favorite, Colin E's favorite,
Speaker 7: the mango crunchy dragon roll.
Speaker 1: They got Poke bowls as well as. For David Vesse.
Speaker 1: Find Zen She near the deli counter at Ralphs.
Speaker 7: Zen She handcrafts and sushi always fast, fresh and easy.
Speaker 3: And now what will likely be vass a fielding insults
Speaker 3: from a Dodger player.
Speaker 1: It's an engagement of endearment.
Speaker 3: This is high and tight.
Speaker 11: We're joining right now by one of In fact, you
Speaker 11: know what, I'm gonna take that back. The best third
Speaker 11: base coaching all a Major League Baseball. I don't want
Speaker 11: to disrespect him, and that is the one and only
Speaker 11: Dino Ebel.
Speaker 5: Dino, thanks a lot.
Speaker 11: For the time, and I'm sorry for that mistake.
Speaker 4: Always, Dave, thank you. Thank you for that, and I
Speaker 4: appreciate it.
Speaker 11: You do so much homework before the game's deno you
Speaker 11: even start to look at the analytical things as far
Speaker 11: as probability. I'm not sure people realize how much work
Speaker 11: goes into being prepared at third base.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's just part of it. Again. It's uh, you know,
Speaker 4: back in the day when I first started this.
Speaker 13: We just did a lot of video, a lot of
Speaker 13: eyes in field outfield.
Speaker 4: I have to stay out and watch these guys do
Speaker 4: their throwing.
Speaker 13: But with the help now upstairs sending down analytical stuff,
Speaker 13: it gives me outprobabilities, percentages, fast runner, below average runner,
Speaker 13: plus runner.
Speaker 4: The speed of the outfielder, the arm.
Speaker 13: So all that is involved in my decision making before
Speaker 13: we start a series.
Speaker 4: And you know what, I love it.
Speaker 13: It's the game is evolving to that in h and
Speaker 13: in the ability to give me more information to help
Speaker 13: me make decisions. And again, the heartbeat is the heartbeat
Speaker 13: my eyes. In the game, I might see something that
Speaker 13: guy goes to his left or right, or the grass
Speaker 13: slows it down. Those are you know, the situation of
Speaker 13: the scoreboard, the innings, all that plays a part of
Speaker 13: it when I make that decision. But yes, you're right,
Speaker 13: it's just not standing out at third and just telling
Speaker 13: the runner to stop and go. There's always a process
Speaker 13: behind the decision that I make.
Speaker 11: What about checking in with the player each and every day.
Speaker 11: I mean, certainly certain guys are banged up more than
Speaker 11: others on certain days. How much of the communication before
Speaker 11: the game happens.
Speaker 4: That That is a great question, and that's huge for me.
Speaker 13: The trainers usually come up and give me a little
Speaker 13: alert that hey, so and so today's legs are tight
Speaker 13: and that, and that comes into consideration late in the game. Now,
Speaker 13: you know, there might be a play late in the
Speaker 13: game and I stop a runner, and then you know,
Speaker 13: I have to hear maybe and I you know, again,
Speaker 13: the fans or fans and I love him, They might say,
Speaker 13: why didn't Dino, send him. They don't know what happens
Speaker 13: before games and what information I have that's between me
Speaker 13: and the players. And again, long, i'd rather have a
Speaker 13: player not you know, send a guy and he scores
Speaker 13: or he's out, or lose him for two weeks or
Speaker 13: three weeks because his legs are bothering him and I
Speaker 13: had to send him. That's just part of the process
Speaker 13: and I get it. So Yes, that's a huge part
Speaker 13: of being a third base coach, knowing who's good and
Speaker 13: who's you know so so.
Speaker 3: For that day.
Speaker 11: The game never gets too fast on Dino Ebol Dodgers'
Speaker 11: third base coach. You this year are the outfield coach
Speaker 11: for the Dodgers. You've put in a lot of time
Speaker 11: with Andy Pajs. What can you say about his work
Speaker 11: ethic to get better and to be the player that
Speaker 11: he is today.
Speaker 13: Well, I think it's the credit goes to Andy because
Speaker 13: he is he has a routine. Now, he's understanding the
Speaker 13: process of coming out every day and trying to I
Speaker 13: tell him take away hits, because they're going to take
Speaker 13: away you know, his hits. When he hits the line drive,
Speaker 13: somebody dives and takes away hit where you, you know,
Speaker 13: get a little mad about that and go take somebody
Speaker 13: else's hits. And that's what he's doing. Andy's a great athlete.
Speaker 13: He's young, he's got great ability for this game. I mean, he's,
Speaker 13: for me right now, one of the best outfielders in
Speaker 13: the game. Everybody knows now he's a power arm in
Speaker 13: the outfield. So he has put a lot of time
Speaker 13: into this. He wants to be the best. I think
Speaker 13: his goals he won't tell me, but I'm pretty sure
Speaker 13: he wants to be an All Star and that's that
Speaker 13: is a great goal. And you know, being in a
Speaker 13: World Series game, that experience he had last year, confidence.
Speaker 4: And just motivating him.
Speaker 13: And he wants to hear the bad too, So when
Speaker 13: he makes mistakes, he comes to me right.
Speaker 4: Away and we try to correct it. So a lot
Speaker 4: of credit goes to Andy on the performance that he's
Speaker 4: doing so far this year.
Speaker 11: Do you know fear to say you issued a challenge
Speaker 11: and he accepted the challenge absolutely.
Speaker 4: This guy wants to be challenged.
Speaker 13: He doesn't like today, you know, he has an off day,
Speaker 13: but he still got in his work.
Speaker 4: So he's going to be ready if Dave needs him
Speaker 4: late in the game.
Speaker 13: He knows that, Hey, anything that he can do to
Speaker 13: help the team win, he's all in. But I tell
Speaker 13: you what, working with him, you know last year and
Speaker 13: years before, I'm the infield guy. Now being in the outfield,
Speaker 13: and give credit to Tail. Tails took him under his wing.
Speaker 13: They talk all the time. Everybody sees it. So again
Speaker 13: the credit goes to the players. I'm just there for
Speaker 13: a little bit of background and if he needs help,
Speaker 13: I'm there to help.
Speaker 11: Dodger's third base coach Diino Eble is our guest. Pretty soon,
Speaker 11: he's going to be referred to as Brady Eble's dad
Speaker 11: because Brady certainly has made a name for himself in
Speaker 11: high school baseball and is going to be eligible for
Speaker 11: the major league draft coming up in July.
Speaker 5: Where are things that with Brady? How as a dad
Speaker 5: are you handling all this?
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's fun.
Speaker 13: It's the first time I've gone through this process, and
Speaker 13: it's day to day now. Brady's going through a lot
Speaker 13: of stuff. One finished high school and two to get
Speaker 13: better and then you know, you look forward.
Speaker 4: To the major league drafts. So he's excited. You know,
Speaker 4: everyone knows he's committed.
Speaker 13: To the LSU, which is a great baseball but I
Speaker 13: know my sons.
Speaker 4: They live in brief baseball. They love the game, and
Speaker 4: when that day comes.
Speaker 13: July thirteenth, I don't know if Dad is going to
Speaker 13: be nervous. I think just more anxious and more excited.
Speaker 13: You know, we live the game and I'm prepared for
Speaker 13: it whatever which way he decides to go, but it'll
Speaker 13: be It's going to be an exciting day for the
Speaker 13: Evil family.
Speaker 11: You and your wife Shannon have got to be really
Speaker 11: proud of both Trey and Brady the way they've handled
Speaker 11: so much attention.
Speaker 13: Absolutely, and I think they're more advanced seventeen sixteen year
Speaker 13: olds growing up in the major league clubhouse and being
Speaker 13: around these athletes, elite players, going back to the Angels
Speaker 13: and Dodgers. They've learned so much and you can see it.
Speaker 13: I can see it when I step back and watch
Speaker 13: them when they're working with Mooki or Rojas or Kei
Speaker 13: k or Freddie Freeman. They're down watching them ahead and
Speaker 13: taking ground balls. I just sit back as a dad
Speaker 13: and enjoy it because there's nothing better for me to
Speaker 13: have player to player.
Speaker 4: Relationship and them learning from the best players in the
Speaker 4: world at this level.
Speaker 13: And their age. That's why I think it's going to
Speaker 13: be exciting on July thirteenth to see.
Speaker 4: Where Brady goes.
Speaker 11: All right, Dino, thanks a lot for the time we
Speaker 11: refer to you as the Dodgers third base coach today.
Speaker 11: But maybe next time Brady's dad.
Speaker 3: I like it.
Speaker 4: I hope, so, I hope he.
Speaker 13: I'm pulling for Brady and Trey next year he's going
Speaker 13: to be involved, So I appreciate that.
Speaker 4: Thank you so much.
Speaker 11: He's the best, best dad, best third base coach, Dino Ebol,
Speaker 11: and he'll receive a pair of sunglasses to Canaan Canaan's
Speaker 11: world's best polarized sunglasses. Canaan's lenses are clear, lighter and
Speaker 11: stronger than other lenses, and are nearly impossible to scratch.
Speaker 11: This is a Canaan dot Com for your pair, Tim,

Speaker 7: his Major League debut in twenty eighteen with the Braves,
Speaker 7: then bounced around to the Rangers, back to the Braves.
Speaker 7: The Phillies last year and now with the Guardians, where
Speaker 7: he signed in the offseason. It's been up and down
Speaker 7: from Triple A. Making his eighth appearance this season with Cleveland,
Speaker 7: his first start. He'll be the opener. It's a bullpen
Speaker 7: game for the Guardians. Last time out, well, it wasn't.
Speaker 7: Back on Monday May nineteenth, he went won inning, one run,
Speaker 7: three hits, one walk, one strikeout in relief against the Twins.
Speaker 7: Clayton and Kershaw on the mound. The thirty seven year
Speaker 7: old in his eighteenth season in the big leagues, all
Speaker 7: with the Dodgers. Making his third start this season last
Speaker 7: time out just two innings against the Mets.
Speaker 1: That game was.
Speaker 7: Halted for ninety eight minutes because of a rain delay.
Speaker 7: He did not go back after the rain delay, so
Speaker 7: he is fresh and ready to go. The future Hall
Speaker 7: of Famer just twenty nine strikeouts away from becoming the
Speaker 7: twentieth hurler in Major League Baseball history to get to
Speaker 7: three thousand strikeouts, currently rings twenty first all time, just
Speaker 7: eight behind former teammate Zach Grank About that, Kershaw want
Speaker 7: to oh the three seventy nine ERA in four starts
Speaker 7: against the Dodgers against the Guardians. He's also pitched there
Speaker 7: by the way progressive field back in the All Star
Speaker 7: Game twenty nineteen. Clayton Kershaw Kobe Allard Dodgers Guardians were
Speaker 7: fifteen minutes away from first pitch.
Speaker 1: Keys of the game.
Speaker 7: Our next, I'm Tim Kasey's World champion Los Angeles Dodgers
Speaker 7: Audio Network.
Speaker 3: This is Wrongo Casino Dodgers Hunting Game on your home
Speaker 3: for La Dodgers Baseball Dodgers Guardians.
Speaker 7: Final game of this three game sent Dodgers looking for
Speaker 7: a happy flight as Dave Roberts likes to stay back home.
Speaker 7: Clayton Kershaw on the Mount. Kobe Allard from San Clementia
Speaker 7: High School will be the opener for the Guardians, first
Speaker 7: pitch coming up at ten ten. Before that, though, we
Speaker 7: head back out to the booth one final time for
Speaker 7: the Keys of the game, Tim Neverett, Rickmunday.
Speaker 6: Tim, thanks again, we count you down to the first
Speaker 6: pitch here Today the third and final game, Dodgers going
Speaker 6: for a three game sweep over the Guardians. Clayton Kershaw
Speaker 6: will make the start, his third of the season, twenty
Speaker 6: nine strikeouts away for three thousand and for Kershaw, He's
Speaker 6: added the splitter this year to his repertoire. So he's
Speaker 6: got the fastball, the curveball, a really good slider. The
Speaker 6: fastball velocity down a little bit, but the splitter kind
Speaker 6: of offsets that some much. You'll throw that maybe seven
Speaker 6: eight percent of the time.
Speaker 2: I think it's a really a good pitch for him
Speaker 2: to have tim And here's why. The disparity in velocity.
Speaker 2: And we've seen a drop off of velocity in the
Speaker 2: last three years. So far this season obviously limited action,
Speaker 2: but the velocity averages just below ninety. So if you
Speaker 2: throw the splitter, that makes the fastball from a perception
Speaker 2: standpoint to the hitters a little bit better as far
Speaker 2: as the velocity. Perceive velocity, if you will. And that slider,
Speaker 2: we've seen the devastation. It can really cause some havoc.
Speaker 2: And if we look at this lineup for the Guardians today,
Speaker 2: they have three switch hitters batting in a row within
Speaker 2: two lefties, so he's going to be looking at five
Speaker 2: different left handed batters and that slider can really be problematic.
Speaker 6: Right hander Slade so Coni was supposed to pitch, but
Speaker 6: he has a bit of a groin issue, so they
Speaker 6: pushed him back and they have elected to have Colby
Speaker 6: Allard come out of the Guardian's bullpen. Now, he is
Speaker 6: a long man, and he has pitched as many as
Speaker 6: six innings in a game this season, so I wouldn't
Speaker 6: necessarily call this an opener situation. He could go five,
Speaker 6: maybe six.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Dan, a fastball away from hitters has worked out
Speaker 2: really well for Allard. He's spent two different stints with
Speaker 2: the Atlanta He's been with the Texas Rangers for four,
Speaker 2: the Phillies last year, and for Allard a very low
Speaker 2: el in the seven relief appearances, just one point five.
Speaker 6: Getting set for the start of this one in Cleveland,
Speaker 6: Clayton Kershaw against Colby Allard, Dodgers looking for their third
Speaker 6: straight win over the Guardians this afternoon, Tim, all.
Speaker 7: Right, thank you guys. First bitches. Next, don't forget David
Speaker 7: Matt Saints got you covered. All the postgame festivities, highlights,
Speaker 7: postgame reaction, and of course Dodger talk is well. When
Speaker 7: this one is over, Dodgers looking to finish off this
Speaker 7: road trip on a witty note. Clayton Kersh on the mound,
Speaker 7: Dodgers Guardians enjoy it. I'm Tim Kasey's World Champion Los
