Speaker 8: Welcome to Dodgers on Deck. Now your host walking you
Speaker 8: up to first pitch.
Speaker 1: Tim Kass, Hi, everybody and'll welcome. It's Morongo Casino Dodgers
Speaker 1: on Deck, your official Dodger pregame show. You're world champion
Speaker 1: Los Angeles Dodgers twenty nine and seventeen on this season,
Speaker 1: first place atop the NL West. After dropping the first
Speaker 1: two games of this freeway series to the Angels, the
Speaker 1: Dodgers now look to the Catman to provide to get
Speaker 1: some help and not get swept by the Halos. First
Speaker 1: pitch on this Sunday from Dodgers Stadium is coming up
Speaker 1: at one ten. Between then and now, we got a
Speaker 1: lot to get to here on Morongo Casino Dodgers on Deck,
Speaker 1: you're gonna hear from President of Baseball Operations Andrew Freeman
Speaker 1: because the Dodgers earlier today designated for assignment Chris Taylor,
Speaker 1: a popular Dodgers since twenty seventeen. They have activated Tommy
Speaker 1: Edmond from the injured list. Kirby Yates has been placed
Speaker 1: on the injured list. Lu Trevino activated and brought up
Speaker 1: from Oklahoma City. So two roster moves made for the
Speaker 1: Dodgers today. More on that with Andrew Freeman coming up.
Speaker 5: More on that.
Speaker 1: Throughout the pregame show, we'll dive deeper into this pitching matchup.
Speaker 1: David va Sego's one on one with Dodgers all time
Speaker 1: leading closer Ken Lee Janssen, all time leading savesman, will
Speaker 1: join DV in about forty five minutes, we got your
Speaker 1: Dodgers' magical moment. Shortly, Kirsten Watson from Sports and ATLA
Speaker 1: will join us, and it's just a few more we'll
Speaker 1: send it out to the Gallpit Motors broadcast booth with
Speaker 1: Steven Nelson and Jose Moto well.
Speaker 6: Last night.
Speaker 1: It was the return of Clayton Kershaw, but it was
Speaker 1: spoiled by an offensive onslaught by the Anaheim Angels. Clayton
Speaker 1: Kershaw making his first start of twenty twenty five, and
Speaker 1: it was a rough one. He went four innings, gave
Speaker 1: up five runs on five hits, walk three. He gave
Speaker 1: up three runs in the top half of the first
Speaker 1: inning to put the Dodgers in the hole. In the
Speaker 1: bottom of the first so Andy Pies got him back
Speaker 1: with one swing of the bat.
Speaker 2: Anderson goes to that Bicep calls his pitch to a hoppy.
Speaker 2: The payoff to Piz is pummel center field.
Speaker 7: Indep, We'll go back on the warning track, hit the walls.
Speaker 7: Brand What a swing from Andy Piz. A three run
Speaker 7: tank to death center ties the game.
Speaker 1: Three run home run for Andy Paie. Hasn't just like
Speaker 1: that three to nothing deficit. It was a three to
Speaker 1: three game and a brand new ball game. After one inning, however,
Speaker 1: the Angels would get a run at the top of
Speaker 1: the third. They'd ad a run at the top of
Speaker 1: the fourth to go up five to three. Key k
Speaker 1: Hernandez in the bottom of the fourth inning with a
Speaker 1: solo home run to the left center that made it a
Speaker 1: five to four Angels lead, and then in the bottom
Speaker 1: of the six the rookie Dalton Rushing tied it up.
Speaker 2: Now patient at the plate, the two zero Rushing will
Speaker 2: swing and that's a rope.
Speaker 7: Down the right field line. It's a fair ball into
Speaker 7: the corner. Kick k waved around. He will score as
Speaker 7: the ball bounce out of play. It's an RBI ground
Speaker 7: rule double for Dalton Rushing and this game is tied
Speaker 7: at five.
Speaker 1: Dalton Rushing with the ground rule double scoring keik. That's
Speaker 1: the top tier play of the game, brought to by
Speaker 1: Arco Quality, top tier gas for last. The Dodgers and
Speaker 1: the sixth inning would take the lead seven to five,
Speaker 1: feeling pretty good about themselves, needing just nine outs to
Speaker 1: get win and even up this series. However, the Angels
Speaker 1: had another plan. They would take the lead in the
Speaker 1: top top half of the seventh inning. As the Angels
Speaker 1: in that seventh put a five spot on the scoreboard,
Speaker 1: Dodgers answered back with the run in the bottom of
Speaker 1: the seventh answer back with the run in the bottom
Speaker 1: of the eighth on the Max Munthsye RBI single. It
Speaker 1: was a ten to nine game, Dodgers back in it.
Speaker 1: They had a chance to tie it, but couldn't to
Speaker 1: go to the ninth Lugo homer to left to make
Speaker 1: it a two run game, and that's how it would end.
Speaker 1: The Anaheim Angels, for the second night in a row,
Speaker 1: beat the Dodgers eleven to nine. Kirby Yates gets the loss,
Speaker 1: a blown save for the right hander, who then goes
Speaker 1: on the injured list with a hamstring injury. Tough one
Speaker 1: for the Dodgers, who are now twenty nine and seventeen overall.
Speaker 1: They have dropped now two straight to the Angels, who
Speaker 1: would have thunked that, and today they need Tony Gonsolin
Speaker 1: to get them out of it and get a win
Speaker 1: to salvage this series. First pitch of one ten and
Speaker 1: with more we head out to the gapin Motors Broadcast
Speaker 1: booth as we welcome in Steven Nelson in Jose mode.
Speaker 6: Guys, thank you Tim.
Speaker 2: Great to be at Dodge Stadium on this Sunday as
Speaker 2: we see kids and families making their way around the
Speaker 2: warning track and the Dodgers trying to avoid the sweep
Speaker 2: at the hands of the Halos today. If you can
Speaker 2: believe that or not. Be Jose motive. That is, baseball
Speaker 2: doesn't matter the record or the talent level. You got
Speaker 2: to play between the white lines. And ultimately, the Angels
Speaker 2: have given their Dodgers their first home series loss in
Speaker 2: more than a month.
Speaker 9: As Ron Washington pointed to his team before the series, listen, guys,
Speaker 9: the challenge is all about us to go out there
Speaker 9: and prove to the other side where I was at
Speaker 9: one point back in the seventies, that we belong at
Speaker 9: a different level, not the team that we've seen so
Speaker 9: far from us. And they took that to heart. And
Speaker 9: ronin Old hadn't played well on the road slugging team
Speaker 9: that just disappeared from early in the season. No Mike
Speaker 9: troutentter c. I think Johnny Washington, their hitting coach show.
Speaker 9: I brought it out belts yesterday saying, Hey, who are
Speaker 9: we facing one of the best players in the game,
Speaker 9: one of the top pitchers in the game. His name
Speaker 9: is Clayton Kershaw. Which version are we going to see
Speaker 9: in how we're going to approach O. We're going to
Speaker 9: be a fair fear because it's Clayton Kersher. But if
Speaker 9: they brought the right approach they made him pitch and
Speaker 9: they're not miss mistakes, and then all through the game
Speaker 9: that mentality carry through because they're outstanding all the way,
Speaker 9: especially as we know where it hurts Moores with two strikes.
Speaker 2: Yeah, disappointing loss for the Dodgers. Tony Gonson is going
Speaker 2: to try and help them avoid the sweep today, but
Speaker 2: we don't want.
Speaker 3: To bury the lead.
Speaker 2: There is big news continuing a week of news around
Speaker 2: Dodgers Nation, emotional news for some fans for sure. Austin
Speaker 2: Barnes was dfaid a few days ago, and this Sunday
Speaker 2: morning will say the Dodgers made the decision to do
Speaker 2: the same thing to Chris Taylor CT three DFA.
Speaker 9: His best days happen here, his greatest days happened here.
Speaker 3: He was clutching so many ways.
Speaker 9: But there's a time in which, also not just the offseason,
Speaker 9: where people say, hey, new era has begun well, at
Speaker 9: some point during the season you got to say, this
Speaker 9: is our new era too, and we have guys now
Speaker 9: that can supplyt these guys that were here before, and
Speaker 9: we're gonna.
Speaker 3: Make that decision. It's the history of baseball has.
Speaker 9: Moved on from time to time, generation or generation wish
Speaker 9: CT and thank him really for what he brought the
Speaker 9: Dodgers fans here for so many years. But there's some
Speaker 9: push from the bottom, and it's exactly what you want.
Speaker 9: He was compassated quite well, who was rewarded for his efforts.
Speaker 9: But now we'll see some new blood that's pushing these
Speaker 9: guys to go out there and making decisions that are
Speaker 9: going to be overall beneficial to the walk club.
Speaker 2: Well, Tim has some great memories provided by Chris Taylor,
Speaker 2: the walk off home run here, you think about the
Speaker 2: catches he made in Milwaukee and the National League championshipies.
Speaker 2: The list goes on for Chris Taylor and Austin Barnes,
Speaker 2: but both veterans designated for assignment this week for the Dodgers,
Speaker 2: and so now the replacement for CT in terms of
Speaker 2: the roster move, Tommy Edmund is back and he is
Speaker 2: starting today in center field, batting sixth.
Speaker 1: All right, thank you, Nelly, as we cut you down
Speaker 1: to first pitch. Dodger fans, get your game day meal
Speaker 1: on and Shakey's Pizza parlor. What are your Shaky's Pizza
Speaker 1: jak and emojos right now at.
Speaker 6: Shakey's dot Com?
Speaker 1: Coming up here on Dodgers on Deck, you're gonna hear
Speaker 1: from the President of Baseball Operations Andrew Freeman, speaking with
Speaker 1: the media about the release of Chris Taylor earlier in
Speaker 1: the week. Austin Barnes roster looking a little different. A
Speaker 1: couple of the old dogs out, new players up.
Speaker 6: We'll hear from Andrew.
Speaker 1: Freeman, coming up. David vast Saint checks in. We'll hear
Speaker 1: from Kenley Janssen. So much to get to here. On
Speaker 1: Morago Casino Dodgers on Deck. That's all coming up as
Speaker 1: we lead you up to Dodgers and Angels first pitcher,
Speaker 1: one ten. I'm Tim Kasi's World champion Los Angeles Dodgers
Speaker 1: Audio Network.
Speaker 8: This is Morongo Casino Dodgers Hunting game on your home
Speaker 8: for La Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 1: It's the Dodgers and Angels on this Sunday afternoon. Tony Gonsolin,
Speaker 1: you say Kakuchi. The pitching matchup, first pitch set for
Speaker 1: one ten.
Speaker 5: This is the Otani rewind Well.
Speaker 1: The Angels beat the Dodgers last night and in the
Speaker 1: process held show a Otani sort of in check oh
Speaker 1: for six last night with a couple of punchouts. He
Speaker 1: did have a ground out a double play in the
Speaker 1: sixth inning that was scored Dalton rushing, but no RBI
Speaker 1: on the groundouts zero for six. Last Night show, Hey
Speaker 1: Otani in an eleven and nine loss to the Halos.
Speaker 8: This is Kirston's corner with Kirston Watson.
Speaker 1: And Kirston now joins us from the stadium on the
Speaker 1: Sunday brought to by Cars for Kids. Were ready to
Speaker 1: donate your old car. Call eight seven seven Cars for
Speaker 1: Kids right now. Friendly agents standing by to take your donation.
Speaker 1: That's Cars with a K to donate your car today.
Speaker 1: Chris Taylor no longer a member of the Dodgers. Some
Speaker 1: of the old dogs no longer with the Blue Kirsten.
Speaker 10: Yeah, it's been a crazy few days if you really
Speaker 10: think about it. I mean, two of the longest tenured Dodgers,
Speaker 10: so Austin position player excuse me, so Austin Barnes and
Speaker 10: now Chris Taylor have been designated for assignment.
Speaker 3: You know, it's this.
Speaker 10: Is just the reality of what happens in baseball. I
Speaker 10: think even when Eric Carros the other day he said,
Speaker 10: this is.
Speaker 5: The evolution of baseball.
Speaker 10: You know, you have these guys who have been a
Speaker 10: big part of this organization, whether it's you know, being
Speaker 10: Clinton Kershaw's guy in Austin Barnes case, or having walk
Speaker 10: off home runs in the playoffs, things like that. In
Speaker 10: regard to Chris Taylor, huge plays that will truly never forget,
Speaker 10: big moments for this organization. But right now, you know,
Speaker 10: the production just hasn't been where he's hoping for it
Speaker 10: to be. And we've seen young players like hey Son
Speaker 10: Kim for example, who have stepped in and who are
Speaker 10: who are stepping up and they're performing and they're showing
Speaker 10: that they belong at this level. And of course now
Speaker 10: you have guys returning from the IL and Tommy Edmund today,
Speaker 10: Tayoscar Hernandez tomorrow hopefully, and with that, moves were gonna
Speaker 10: have to be made. And so as much as it's
Speaker 10: a tough pill to swallow, especially for you know, these
Speaker 10: two guys who have been around for so long, who
Speaker 10: do mean a lot in the clubhouse, they also just
Speaker 10: are talking to a few guys after the news of
Speaker 10: Austin Barnes being DFAED. It does sound like, you know,
Speaker 10: guys were in specific, I guess Chris Taylor in this
Speaker 10: situation was aware that something like this could be on
Speaker 10: the horizon, and of course now they have ultimately made
Speaker 10: the decision to move on from him.
Speaker 1: At the moment, Yeah, the baseball side of things is
Speaker 1: one thing. The financial side of baseball is a whole
Speaker 1: other side of the sport.
Speaker 6: On a lighter note, though, I hear a lot.
Speaker 1: Of young kids in the background there at Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 10: Oh my goodness, it's the best part of today. There
Speaker 10: are fifteen well, I guess hopefully we can win today
Speaker 10: and then that'll be the better part. But as of
Speaker 10: right now, there are fifteen thousand Little leaguers here and
Speaker 10: they are so precious. And so I was sitting in
Speaker 10: the dugout and Matt Sower came out and I'm like, Matt, like,
Speaker 10: what are you doing out here? Just hanging out? And
Speaker 10: he goes, actually, my little league team is here today
Speaker 10: and is a part of the parade. So he played
Speaker 10: for the Orchid Nationals. He was on the team that
Speaker 10: was the Phillies, and so they are here, and so
Speaker 10: he waited to go and see them. His mom actually
Speaker 10: runs a daycare and so one of the Little leaguers
Speaker 10: goes to her daycare. So he was able to be like, oh,
Speaker 10: I knew when they were coming and see them, and
Speaker 10: he went out and he signed different autographs for them,
Speaker 10: and he was just so excited, and even they were
Speaker 10: they knew that they had a product of the Orchid
Speaker 10: Nationals who were playing on the Dodgers, and so it
Speaker 10: was really special for him to see them. And he
Speaker 10: even told me that he has a fun surprise coming
Speaker 10: this offseason because he recently found out that they're going
Speaker 10: to be naming the baseball stadium for the ballpark I
Speaker 10: should say for the Orchid Nationals in that little league
Speaker 10: team or that little league organization. They're naming the ballpark
Speaker 10: after him. So he's so excited. He said it hasn't
Speaker 10: got up Jes yet, it'll go up this offseason. But
Speaker 10: just so sweet. And it's really a reminder that these
Speaker 10: little kids like these are the future of Major League
Speaker 10: baseball and we'll be hopefully seeing these kids in the
Speaker 10: big leagues one day.
Speaker 6: It's a fun day out at the Ravine.
Speaker 1: Hopefully the Dodgers can get a win and end this
Speaker 1: thing on a positive.
Speaker 6: No Curreson.
Speaker 1: We appreciate it still to come here on Marango because
Speaker 1: you know, Dodgers on deck will dive deeper into this
Speaker 1: pitching matchup.
Speaker 6: David Vat saying goes.
Speaker 1: One on one with the all time leading closer for
Speaker 1: the Dodgers, now the closer for the Angels, Ken Lee Jansen.
Speaker 6: That's coming up.
Speaker 1: If we lead you up to Dodgers and Angels on
Speaker 1: this Sunday first pitch of one to ten. I'm Tim Kasies,
Speaker 1: the world champion Los Angeles Dodgers Audio, no.
Speaker 3: Tires.
Speaker 5: We were yes.
Speaker 8: Is Marongo Casino Dodgers on Deck on the official home
Speaker 8: of La Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 1: It's the Dodgers and the Angels on this Sunday. Marago
Speaker 1: Casino Dodgers on Deck continues as we leach out to
Speaker 1: first pitch, Marogo Casino Resort and Spa a Grand Slam
Speaker 1: for good times. Tony Gonsolon on the mound, first pitcher,
Speaker 1: one ten.
Speaker 5: It's the LA Dodgers Injury.
Speaker 1: Report presented by UCLA Healthy, official medical partner the Los
Speaker 1: Angeles Dodgers.
Speaker 6: It just became official just a few minutes ago.
Speaker 1: The Dodgers selected the contract of right handed pitcher at
Speaker 1: Lutrevino and placed right handed reliever Kirby Yates on the
Speaker 1: injured list with a right hamstring strain, but he suffered
Speaker 1: last night in the game. Evan Phillips on the IL
Speaker 1: with the sore right forearm. Tiascar Hernandez left groin strain.
Speaker 1: Ti Oscar Hernandez hopefully is coming off the injured list
Speaker 1: maybe tomorrow. Blake, Snell, Tyler glassnow they are slowly working
Speaker 1: their way back. Snell places on the sixty day IL
Speaker 1: yesterday to extend that IL stent Michael Kopek, Blake trying
Speaker 1: it also on this sixty day IL.
Speaker 6: All right.
Speaker 1: Instead of hearing from the manager, Dave Roberts today, we're
Speaker 1: going to hear from the president of Baseball Operations. As
Speaker 1: today the Dodgers announced that Chris Taylor, designated for assignment
Speaker 1: as Tommy Edmon, is back on the active roster.
Speaker 6: Let's hear from Andrew Freeman.
Speaker 11: This has been a very emotional week for all of us.
Speaker 11: Barnesy and CT have been in the middle of some
Speaker 11: huge moments for this organization. Both guys have left an
Speaker 11: indelible mark on our culture and where we're at at
Speaker 11: this point. So the decisions were incredibly difficult. The conversations
Speaker 11: were tough, but with where we are division race, you know,
Speaker 11: composition of roster everything. You know, we felt like this
Speaker 11: was in the Dodgers' best interest in terms of how
Speaker 11: to win as many games and put us in position
Speaker 11: to best win a World Series this year. Doesn't mean
Speaker 11: I mean that it was easy, but ultimately felt like
Speaker 11: it was the right thing to do the place.
Speaker 8: And at least he just had such a medi.
Speaker 9: Impact on this.
Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean beyond uh, just how endearing he is
Speaker 11: to his teammates. Just the energy, brings a foot speed,
Speaker 11: the versatility as well, just something that adds a lot
Speaker 11: to our roster.
Speaker 3: In a different look.
Speaker 11: Again, no decision has ever made in a vacuum. It's
Speaker 11: within the context of our roster and where we're at.
Speaker 11: And so, you know, he's done a great job. Rush
Speaker 11: talked about the other day. You know, when we drafted him,
Speaker 11: obviously we loved the bat, didn't have a ton of
Speaker 11: experience behind the plate. Have challenged him each year with
Speaker 11: different and things to work on, and to his credit,
Speaker 11: he as an incredible motor and work ethic and has
Speaker 11: continued to get better and better and better and better.
Speaker 11: And so on one hand, there is the element of
Speaker 11: you know, the guys who have been here and been
Speaker 11: a big part of what we've done, and the other
Speaker 11: is looking ahead to who is going to be a
Speaker 11: part of, you know, the next wave. And it's far
Speaker 11: from science. It's it's art, and it's difficult, and it's
Speaker 11: you know, I think the end for people that you know,
Speaker 11: have been such significant contributors. It's never going to feel good.
Speaker 11: And it's been tough for a lot of us this week,
Speaker 11: but you know, felt like in Russia's development, where he's
Speaker 11: at what he's done, that he had earned this right.
Speaker 3: All right.
Speaker 1: So there's Andrew Freeman, President of Baseball Operations, talking about
Speaker 1: two veteran Dodgers being DFA this week, with two young
Speaker 1: players getting opportunities now, as he said, a young new
Speaker 1: wave of players getting a shot. When we continue here
Speaker 1: on Dodgers on Deck, more of this with David Vassay
Speaker 1: as we lead jump to first pitch on this Sunday,
Speaker 1: it's the Dodgers and Angels. Tony Gonsol on the mound,
Speaker 1: first pitcher, one ten. I'm Tim kass the world champion
Speaker 1: Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 8: This is Morongo Cassino Dodgers Hunting Game on your home
Speaker 8: for La Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 1: Dodgers and Angels wrap up this three game freeway series.
Speaker 1: Dodgers need a win to avoid getting swept. Tony Gonsolin
Speaker 1: on the mound, first pitch, set for one ten.
Speaker 5: Joining Tim cats On Dodgers on deck. I accept everybody
Speaker 5: for who they are. This is Dodger insider David all.
Speaker 6: Right, DV for a lot, Dodger fan.
Speaker 1: Has been a tough week, but hey, it's all about
Speaker 1: production at the major league level, and there's always somebody
Speaker 1: chasing you and looking to take your roster spot. In
Speaker 1: this case, you got some young guys who have been
Speaker 1: knocking on the door right DV and finally getting their opportunity,
Speaker 1: and they've produced.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Chris Taylor and Austin Barnes obviously contributed a lot
Speaker 4: to the Dodgers' success from twenty fifteen all the way
Speaker 4: through twenty twenty one and even into twenty twenty four.
Speaker 4: But guys like Hay Song Kim and Dalton Rushing are
Speaker 4: the Austin Barnes and Chris Taylor's of today. I mean,
Speaker 4: think back to when Austin Barnes broke in a j
Speaker 4: Ellis was traded. Think back to when Chris Taylor was
Speaker 4: really integrated into this lineup, Guys like Andre Ethier got
Speaker 4: less playing time. So when you're around long enough, and
Speaker 4: it's a unique situation, people in Andrew Freeman's position don't
Speaker 4: usually last as long as he has lasted with one organization.
Speaker 4: But that just is a testament to the success of
Speaker 4: the Dodgers since Andrew took over, and obviously the support
Speaker 4: he's gotten from Mark Walter in more ways than one.
Speaker 4: So yes, it is kind of an end of an era.
Speaker 4: I mean, guys like Cody Bellinger and Corey Seeger and
Speaker 4: Justin Turner were a big part of the success of
Speaker 4: those teams, but Barnes and Chris Taylor and Max Munsey
Speaker 4: to a certain extent were the holdovers. And now we're
Speaker 4: moving into a new chapter for the Dodgers.
Speaker 1: Certainly well said David is driven by four. There's one
Speaker 1: thing we like, its choices. Find yours with the four
Speaker 1: F one to fifty gas hybrid all electric Toughess March
Speaker 1: can only be called F one fifty. We're talking a
Speaker 1: lot about injured pitchers and updates on Snell Great Interview
Speaker 1: Yesterday with Snell Zella DV. But what's going on with
Speaker 1: showe Aotani in his pitching.
Speaker 4: Well, I talked to some Japanese media yesterday and they
Speaker 4: said that they observed Otani throwing fifty pitches. He threw
Speaker 4: every pitch in that bullpen session yesterday outside of his slider,
Speaker 4: and he hit ninety five miles an hour in that
Speaker 4: bullpen session. And from what they've gathered, they believe that
Speaker 4: Otani is going to throw a live BP next Saturday
Speaker 4: at City Field if weather cooperates.
Speaker 1: Dave Hayesan Kim one of these young guys who is
Speaker 1: taking roster spots on some of these veterans. What kind
Speaker 1: of opportunity are we going to see from him now?
Speaker 1: What kind of opportunity on a daily basis, maybe starting
Speaker 1: in for the Dodgers.
Speaker 4: Well, Andrew Friedman said that this was his direct quote
Speaker 4: that ta Oscar Hernandez and Tom Yedman were not going
Speaker 4: to be iron men coming off the IL. So that
Speaker 4: means Hayesung Kim's going to get opportunities being able to,
Speaker 4: you know, plug in at second base primarily and sometimes
Speaker 4: in center field with those guys coming back and not
Speaker 4: going to be an everyday player right away, so there
Speaker 4: are opportunities for starts there are are opportunities to come
Speaker 4: off the bench, to be a pinch runner or a
Speaker 4: pinch hitter. So he just fills out this roster and
Speaker 4: this Dodger bench so much better than unfortunately Chris Taylor
Speaker 4: at this stage of his career.
Speaker 1: All right, Dave, appreciate it. We'll check back in with
Speaker 1: you in just a little bit. Dave's gonna go one
Speaker 1: on one with Kenley Jansen. That's coming up in a
Speaker 1: little over fifteen minutes, coming up here on Morogo Casino

Speaker 1: the world champion Los Angeles Dodgers audio.
Speaker 4: Not as we were saying.
Speaker 8: This is Marongo Casino Dodgers on Deck on the official
Speaker 8: home of LA Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 1: It's a Dodgers an Angels final game of the Freeway Series.
Speaker 1: Tony Gonsolin on the mountain. First pitch coming up at
Speaker 1: one ten. We'll hear from Kenley Janssen coming up in
Speaker 1: about seven minutes. But first we head back out to
Speaker 1: Dodgers Stadium. David Bassa, Jose Mota, Guys.
Speaker 4: Hey, Jose Mota filling in for Rick Monday again. When's
Speaker 4: Rick coming back? By the way, I just show up
Speaker 4: to me to show up, so I don't know you're
Speaker 4: here anyway.
Speaker 9: I'm here now, I'm here anyways, right, Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 9: All they I do is go next door. Go, oh,
Speaker 9: Rick's not here yet, so Jose come back. Oh, it's
Speaker 9: no problem.
Speaker 4: You're kind of the Tony Gonsolin of broadcasters. Underrated. Tony
Speaker 4: Gonsolin has the best winning percentage among pitchers in the
Speaker 4: National League since twenty twenty two.
Speaker 9: Hey, Tony Gonsolin, A couple things have happened with him, right,
Speaker 9: You gotta have run support, right, in order to have
Speaker 9: rus support, you gotta look at who he's facing on
Speaker 9: the mound that particular day.
Speaker 3: But if your team.
Speaker 9: Gives you runs, David, you go out there and keep
Speaker 9: the other team under those runs.
Speaker 3: So, so far, so good.
Speaker 4: I mean, are you the beneficiary of run support? And
Speaker 4: that's his winning percentage is so high? You have to
Speaker 4: have runs to win. Yeah, sure, I mean, look at
Speaker 4: my rais pretty good too.
Speaker 3: It is.
Speaker 9: There's no taking away from him. But that sixteen to
Speaker 9: one year, I mean I was pretty wilid. You know,
Speaker 9: the time with him forever will be that he was
Speaker 9: supposed to be a piggyback issue with Tyler Anderson that
Speaker 9: year and they both became All Stars.
Speaker 4: Yeah right, Yeah, Tyler Anderson was out there yesterday and
Speaker 4: today Tony Gonsolin is going up against Yussey. Could Kuchi Jose,
Speaker 4: you know better than most of us how much Shoho
Speaker 4: Tani loves it when it's Kokuchi day.
Speaker 9: There's three home runs in that in his numbers, and
Speaker 9: it started when he first came was Seattle, and Kikuchi
Speaker 9: does have a home run in his arsenal. But the
Speaker 9: story goes way beyond Kikuchi and Showy.
Speaker 3: They went to the same high school, as you.
Speaker 9: Know very well, they did not have the same times
Speaker 9: in high school.
Speaker 3: Rather, they never were of the same teams.
Speaker 9: But it was Kakuchi that told show Hey, guess what
Speaker 9: part of your job is going to be in this
Speaker 9: high school cleaning toilets. Part of the duty was cleaning toilets.
Speaker 9: So forever Kikuchi instructed show Hey, saying as he welcome
Speaker 9: to the high school, said hey, by the way, I'm
Speaker 9: out of the high school, about you coming in?
Speaker 3: Get ready?
Speaker 9: Because part of what the discipline is, coach says, if
Speaker 9: my pictures could be disciplined in cleaning the bathrooms and
Speaker 9: the toilets, then I wanted the mental discipline to carry
Speaker 9: onto the mount don't figure, Hey.
Speaker 4: That sounds like the culture of Japan. Actually, I mean
Speaker 4: that doesn't surprise me. After you know, we've both been
Speaker 4: to Tokyo and we've seen the discipline of that.
Speaker 9: Culture and the little kids that are the ones responsible
Speaker 9: to clean the classrooms after school, which is marvelous.
Speaker 4: I'd love my kids to start doing that. Maybe just
Speaker 4: start in the room, right, Maybe I'll bring that idea
Speaker 4: back home today. Hey, even in spring training, Jose Otani
Speaker 4: hit a home er off of Kokuchi. Now I understand
Speaker 4: why Shohy was in such a great mood when I
Speaker 4: walked into the clubhouse today.
Speaker 9: Okay, so he's looking forward to that. Remember also show
Speaker 9: he's a daddy now. Show he has a little different
Speaker 9: look about him right now, like little glow and a
Speaker 9: little more responsibilities, keeping people happy, very showing out, not
Speaker 9: afraid of show his emotions and pulling to the suite.
Speaker 9: I mean, it's a very special time for him, and
Speaker 9: I'm glad that he has something else, some of beyond
Speaker 9: just playing baseball and his wife and the child and
Speaker 9: all those little things. But nothing stopped this guy, and
Speaker 9: he continues to go. If I'm Kakuchi today, are you
Speaker 9: gonna just not get him off the play? You got
Speaker 9: to get him on his heels.
Speaker 4: I will think, all right, we'll see how that matchup
Speaker 4: goes before I let you go. Obviously, your dad was
Speaker 4: part of the eighty one World Series team. You are
Speaker 4: around those guys when you were a kid. There came
Speaker 4: a time when Lopes, Rustling Say moved on, and the
Speaker 4: Dodgers now are at that point where guys like Bellinger, Seeger,
Speaker 4: Justin Turner and now Austin Barnes and Chris Taylor are
Speaker 4: now no longer Dodgers. How tough is that?
Speaker 3: It's hard because they created something that was not there before.
Speaker 3: That's another thing.
Speaker 9: They're part of a turnover. I'm bringing success back, okay.
Speaker 9: And they were glues. I mean these guys were and
Speaker 9: milsa fires that just brought two pieces together. Number two
Speaker 9: is that? And I learned this from was it? Like
Speaker 9: my dad told me about Joel Brown with the Pirates
Speaker 9: years and years ago, former general manager, like you have
Speaker 9: to make decisions with your head and not with your heart.
Speaker 9: And if you follow your heart, you're gonna be in
Speaker 9: trouble for a long time. Many decisions sometimes in baseball
Speaker 9: are made thinking about just the talie and don't want
Speaker 9: to break it.
Speaker 3: But I mean I.
Speaker 9: Saw Greg Brandt come in for who Yeah, C Garvey.
Speaker 9: I saw Dave Anderson come in. I saw Mariota Dunk
Speaker 9: come in. I saw Steve Sash come in. I saw
Speaker 9: Steve Jaeger, I saw Mike Soshi. So these things they
Speaker 9: do hurt, But in the same time, you gotta move on.
Speaker 3: If you don't, you gotta be stuck looking up. Yeah, tied, time, you're.
Speaker 4: Gonna be the old Phillies of nine ten eleven. That's
Speaker 4: something Andrew Freeman always wanted to avoid. SoSE thanks a lot,
Speaker 4: keep glowing like, Hey, no doubt it's gonna be a
Speaker 4: Felicie Domingo for a show hand Tonty today. We'll send
Speaker 4: it back to you in the studio.

Speaker 14: it's always great to pitch in Dodger Stadium. It's awesome.
Speaker 14: And yeah, I'll try to get here and then try
Speaker 14: to help my team win today.
Speaker 4: Your team, yeah, the Angels. What's it like being the veteran,
Speaker 4: the leader of a bullpen. Considering where you started and
Speaker 4: where you're at right now.
Speaker 14: I feel great, man, definitely feeling great. I'm still going strong.
Speaker 14: And you know, like I said, man, learn my teammates,
Speaker 14: they're learning me, and you know, we giving each other's
Speaker 14: advice and helping each other and try to get better.
Speaker 14: That's that's what this gave me said about, you know,
Speaker 14: like when whatever I learned in the past and the
Speaker 14: experience that I have, what I bring, you know, I'm
Speaker 14: just gonna, you know, give it back to the guys
Speaker 14: who wants to learn it.
Speaker 4: I remember we've talked about this many times back in
Speaker 4: twenty twelve when you were becoming the closer that you
Speaker 4: eventually became. Ken Howe on the back of the bus
Speaker 4: on road trips, middle of the night in Pittsburgh would
Speaker 4: be trying to teach you how to be not just
Speaker 4: a really good picture, but a great leader.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's for sure.
Speaker 14: You know, it takes a lot of sensitivity out of me.
Speaker 14: You know, man, I appreciate that man, God rest his soul.
Speaker 14: He was great to me, and you know he was
Speaker 14: always hard on me, and I feel like that paid off,
Speaker 14: you know, that. You know, everything that I did was earned.
Speaker 14: You know, I have to earn it, and you know,
Speaker 14: especially getting tough love. You know, it's just giving me
Speaker 14: love too. So you know I appreciate him.
Speaker 4: Clayton Kershaw with his career now he has to pitch differently.
Speaker 4: How have you evolved? What's different about ken Lee? The
Speaker 4: cutter and just the way you do things?
Speaker 14: Still throwing the same cutter, you know that's the thing.
Speaker 14: You know, he is ninety seven, Like, yes, not I
Speaker 14: might be like ninety or eighty nine, you know. So
Speaker 14: like I say, man, I just got to keep taking
Speaker 14: care of my body, stretching, you know, open up my hip.
Speaker 14: So you know, whenever my hips are open, you know
Speaker 14: you're gonna see the veto pops like that. So definitely
Speaker 14: feel great last night, and you know, I just got
Speaker 14: to continue to get better during the season.
Speaker 4: You still got it. So at this point of your career,
Speaker 4: you've accomplished so much. You obviously have the resume that
Speaker 4: many other closers would love to have. What still motivates
Speaker 4: you at this stage of your career.
Speaker 14: The things that motivate me, I think is you know
Speaker 14: when you look back, kids from kids are growing up
Speaker 14: you know, six years old playing this game in the backyard,
Speaker 14: you know, you know, imagine being the big leagues. And
Speaker 14: now I'm in the big league. So I'm not taking
Speaker 14: dad lightly. I don't want to take it for granted.
Speaker 14: I feel like a few years sometimes when you're young,
Speaker 14: you do stuff and you don't realize, and now you're
Speaker 14: a little older now and you appreciate it and realize.
Speaker 3: And that's why make.
Speaker 14: Me continue to, you know, keep going strong, because it's
Speaker 14: not about the money. It's the love that I have
Speaker 14: for this game. And I want to do it for
Speaker 14: a little bit longer. I want my kids to see it.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 14: My kids are growing up also seeing whole hearted dad
Speaker 14: is working, and I want to set a sample for
Speaker 14: them too.
Speaker 3: So I love this game.
Speaker 14: So I'm trying to go at least a few more
Speaker 14: years here.
Speaker 4: Your older kids were just babies when you were pitching
Speaker 4: with the Dodgers doing your thing. How much do they
Speaker 4: realize now how good their dad is?
Speaker 14: Yeah, I mean, like you said, when I started, none
Speaker 14: of them was born, you know, so and like you said,
Speaker 14: they're born here when I was in a Dodgy uniform
Speaker 14: being a baby. So and now they've grown up watching
Speaker 14: me and understand the game. It's freaking awesome, man, So
Speaker 14: you know, I'm definitely keep doing it for them also too.
Speaker 4: I know you lost your mom in spring training? How
Speaker 4: much do you carry her with you every time you're
Speaker 4: out on that now?
Speaker 14: Now, No, it's tough sometimes, you know, I mean, you
Speaker 14: got to carry your fate. But you know, I believe
Speaker 14: in God, you know, knowing that she's in a better
Speaker 14: place now, she's not suffering no more. But you know,
Speaker 14: sometimes for us here as a human, you know, yeah,
Speaker 14: you miss her and it's tough sometimes, but you know
Speaker 14: I'm controlling that also. And you know, being around my
Speaker 14: teammates helps a lot. And being run the game of baseball.
Speaker 14: That again that my mom never miss a game watching
Speaker 14: me when I was a kid growing up. So it
Speaker 14: definitely feel great also too, to keep doing this all.
Speaker 4: Right, before I let you go, one more baseball question.
Speaker 4: Kershaw is still going at this stage of his career.
Speaker 4: He wants to keep going. You want to keep going?
Speaker 4: Can you and envision a day where both of you
Speaker 4: are being inducted the same year to Cooperstown? How beautiful
Speaker 4: would that be? The guy that saved more of Kershaw's
Speaker 4: wins than anybody else being there together with him.
Speaker 14: Man, that's crazy. You know, that's crazy for me to
Speaker 14: think about that right now. You know, it's a great honor.
Speaker 14: You know, I think it will be a great honor.
Speaker 14: But you know, for me, I still gotta work hard.
Speaker 14: I still gotta earn it everything I earned. You know,
Speaker 14: I feel like for me, I didn't earn it yet.
Speaker 14: So you know that's why I continue to go and
Speaker 14: when I throw my last pitch in the game, and
Speaker 14: I feel like I earned every bit of you know,
Speaker 14: I tried to go to the Hall, So we've gotta
Speaker 14: keep working hard for that, all.
Speaker 4: Right, Kennelly, thanks a lot for the time, love that
Speaker 4: you got, the California love back being with the Angels
Speaker 4: and being back at Dodger Stadium certainly brings back so
Speaker 4: many great memories with you closing out games.
Speaker 14: Yes, sir, thank you, thank you for having me there.
Speaker 4: He is my guy, Kenley Jansen, the all time saves
Speaker 4: leader in Dodger history. That will never change no matter
Speaker 4: what uniform he's wearing. We'll send it back to you.
Speaker 1: Tim, all right, Thanks a lot, DV. Great to hear
Speaker 1: from Kenley Jansen. Dodgers Baseball brought to you by Shaky's
Speaker 1: Pizza Parlor, the official pizza partner of the Dodgers Audio Broadcast.

Speaker 1: Com lead you up to first pitch on this Sunday
Speaker 1: Dodgers Angels up next, we dive deep into this pitching matchup.
Speaker 6: Don't go anywhere.
Speaker 1: I'm Tim Kas's world champion Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 8: This is Marongo Casino Dodgers on Tap.
Speaker 5: On your home for the Blue all season long.
Speaker 1: It's the Dodgers and Angels on this Sunday afternoon. First Pitcher,
Speaker 1: Dodger Stadium's coming up at one ten.
Speaker 8: And now before the Dodgers hit the dinuck, we look
Speaker 8: at the pitching matchup.
Speaker 1: For is it about your Southern California Toyota dealers work
Speaker 1: hard in play hard in a New Tacoma with an
Speaker 1: I Force turbo charged engine. It's a truck built for
Speaker 1: the bold. See your Toyota dealer today. They make it easy.
Speaker 1: Hasn't been easy for use Kakuchi Owen four the three
Speaker 1: seventy two era for the thirty three year old veteran
Speaker 1: left hander out of Japan, his seventh season in the
Speaker 1: Big Leagues, first with the Angels. He is just the
Speaker 1: sixth Japanese born player to play for the Halos. Making
Speaker 1: his ten start this year, he has gone exactly six
Speaker 1: innings in six of his nine starts, including each of
Speaker 1: his last two outings. Last time, six innings, four runs,
Speaker 1: seven hits, four strikeouts in a no decision against the
Speaker 1: Padres on the road this year, Kakuchi is zero to
Speaker 1: four with a four to seventy eight RRA and six
Speaker 1: road starts, making his fifth career start against the Dodgers
Speaker 1: one and two with an ERA over five at Dodgers Stadium.
Speaker 1: In his career two starts one to oh with an
Speaker 1: ERA under three. Dodgers against Kakuchi well Shoaho Tani seven
Speaker 1: for twenty three three Zho four average, three home runs
Speaker 1: in five rabbies. By the way, both Otani and yuse
Speaker 1: Kukuchi went to the same high school in Japan. Tony
Speaker 1: Gonsol on the mound with the Dodgers the Catman two
Speaker 1: and Ozho the two eighty one ERA thirty one year
Speaker 1: old veteran right hander his seventh season in the Big Leagues,
Speaker 1: but finally healthy this year after missing a year and
Speaker 1: a half because of Tommy John surgery. Making just his
Speaker 1: fourth start last time out, five shutout innings, three hits,
Speaker 1: four strikeouts in a win over the Diamondbacks. Against the
Speaker 1: Angels in his career, Tony Gonsolin three starts, three to
Speaker 1: zero record with a three seventy nine ERRA. So the
Speaker 1: catman is on the prow for the Dodgers. Tony Gonsolin
Speaker 1: going for the Blue who need a win to avoid
Speaker 1: getting swept by the Angels at home in this Freeway
Speaker 1: series h's the Dodgers and Angels were fifteen minutes away
Speaker 1: for first pitch.
Speaker 6: Keys to the game.
Speaker 1: Our next, I'm Tim Kasey's World champion Los Angeles Dodgers
Speaker 1: Audio Network.
Speaker 8: As we were saying, this is Marongo Casino Dodgers on
Speaker 8: tack On the official home of La Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 1: Dodgers and Angels, final game of this Freeway series. Tony Gonsolin,
Speaker 1: yuse Kukuchi, the pitching matchup, first pitch from Dodgers Stadium
Speaker 1: coming up at one ten and the boys in Blue
Speaker 1: and they play at home. It's import they have the
Speaker 1: right plan to protect their house. The same applies to
Speaker 1: your home. Always have a plan and follow fire safety tips.
Speaker 1: For example, user install ignition resistant materials around your home.
Speaker 1: Use fire resistant materials when building a deck. Replace events
Speaker 1: with ember and flame resistant events. Use noncombustible fencing materials
Speaker 1: for the portion that connects to your house. For more
Speaker 1: about these tips and to find out others, visit fire
Speaker 1: dot CA dot gov. All right, back out to Dodger
Speaker 1: Stadium before first pitch, Steven Nelson hose Mo to guys.
Speaker 2: Dodgers and Angels. Final time at Dodgers Stadium this year.
Speaker 2: Of course, the Dodgers will head down to Anaheim and
Speaker 2: visit the Big A later this season. But the task
Speaker 2: today is avoid a series sweep. I mean, losing two
Speaker 2: games in a row has been a rare site for
Speaker 2: the Dodgers for the majority of this season. Definitely getting
Speaker 2: swept at home that has not happened for sure, especially
Speaker 2: against a team like the Angels. So Tony Gonsolin will
Speaker 2: take the ball against Yusai Kikuchi.
Speaker 3: He needs to go out there and give you some
Speaker 3: an ingers.
Speaker 9: He's coming up a very good start at Arizona five
Speaker 9: innings with no runs, eighty four pitches, which is a max.
Speaker 9: So today he could have a little bit more, and
Speaker 9: the Dodgers need Tony Gonsolon will be as effectively as
Speaker 9: he has been, especially in the first few innings and
Speaker 9: then with the middle of the order. And for the Angels,
Speaker 9: it doesn't matter who is hitting in which part. So
Speaker 9: far this series, they've been outstanding with men in scoring
Speaker 9: position eight for twenty three. But for Tony that on
Speaker 9: one pitch becomes quickly zero to two. And I think
Speaker 9: he needs to have the curve ball going today early
Speaker 9: and also keep and pay attention to the base runners.
Speaker 9: As we know run Washington has a few weapons here
Speaker 9: and there that he has to pull out when he
Speaker 9: needs to.
Speaker 2: And also really the Dodgers need him to provide some length.
Speaker 2: Kirbyates hit the injured list Sunday morning as well. Luke
Speaker 2: Trevino was called up in his place. He was just
Speaker 2: picked up by the Dodgers earlier this week. A veteran
Speaker 2: guy who has closed games before, been at a high
Speaker 2: level before, but then some injuries and he's trying to
Speaker 2: get back on track. But you think about, you know,
Speaker 2: the guys in the bullpen who they'd probably like to
Speaker 2: stay away from today. So Tony Gonsolin They're leaning on
Speaker 2: him for sure. Give me one key against Yusak Kuccie.
Speaker 2: The left hand are starting today for the Haloes.
Speaker 3: Don't help him out.
Speaker 9: This guy does have a home run ball in his arsenal,
Speaker 9: but do not spread the zone. It should be a
Speaker 9: fun matchup between now the old high schoolers's right in and.
Speaker 2: Ki Otani leading off, and we'll have Tommy Edmund in
Speaker 2: the lineup with him for the first time in a minute.
Speaker 2: Edmund activated off the Angels playing in center field. Ta
Speaker 2: Oscar Hernandez shouldn't be too far behind him. Knock on wood.
Speaker 2: All things considered, with where the Dodgers are at, the
Speaker 2: fact that they have done this without being at full
Speaker 2: strength for the majority of the season, it is quite something, Tim,
Speaker 2: But the ballgame is in front of him, the series finale.
Speaker 2: Trying to avoid a sweep at home.
Speaker 1: All right, First pitch is next final game of the
Speaker 1: Freeway series. Tony Gonsolin on the mound. Dodgers need a
Speaker 1: win to avoid getting swept at home.
Speaker 6: By the Halos.
Speaker 1: First pitches next, enjoyed Everybody Happy Sunday. I'm Tim Kass
Speaker 1: the world champion Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network
