Speaker 1: And now your host for Marongo Casino Dodgers on Deck,
Speaker 1: Damn Cays.
Speaker 2: Oh everybody, and welcome in to Morongo Casino Dodgers on Deck.
Speaker 2: Hope you're enjoying this beautiful Saturday afternoon here in southern California.
Speaker 2: The sun is out, the water is listening. The Dodgers
Speaker 2: there in Houston is sixty two and forty three on
Speaker 2: this season, first place atop the NL West with a
Speaker 2: six and a half game lead in the division. After
Speaker 2: dropping the series opener in Houston last night, the Dodgers
Speaker 2: look to get back on track with yet another rookie
Speaker 2: taking the ball. Justin Robluski will take the mound for
Speaker 2: the Dodgers first pitch. A minute made Park is coming
Speaker 2: up at four to ten. Between then and now, we
Speaker 2: have got a lot to get to here on Marongo
Speaker 2: Casino Dodgers on Deck, you'll hear from the de manager
Speaker 2: Dave Roberts will dive deeper into this pitching matchup. David
Speaker 2: Vasse will go one on one with another Dodger, rookie
Speaker 2: River Ryan, who is expected to get the start tomorrow
Speaker 2: in the series finale. Shortly, we'll check you with Kirsten
Speaker 2: Watson in just a few minutes will head out to
Speaker 2: Rick Monday and Tim Nefert and the Gallpin Motors Broadcast booth. Well, yesterday,
Speaker 2: the Dodgers ran into Fraanburg Valdez, who pitched really well
Speaker 2: for the Houston Astros. Meanwhile, Gavin Stone win six innings,
Speaker 2: allowed four runs on nine hits a couple of home runs.
Speaker 3: He gave up three strikeouts along the way.
Speaker 2: The Dodgers' offense just couldn't get anything going against Valdez.
Speaker 2: Otani single to lead off the game. Then Valdez retired
Speaker 2: sixteen in a row, including the last six by strikeout,
Speaker 2: before getting Gavin Lux to single the one out in
Speaker 2: the sixth inning. The Dodgers would have the bases loaded,
Speaker 2: but the Oscar Hernandez struck out and then Andy Potez
Speaker 2: flew out to end the game. That was it as
Speaker 2: far as any offensive threats for the Dodgers last night. Meanwhile,
Speaker 2: the Astros got after Gavin Lux in the second with
Speaker 2: an RBI single and Alex Bregman in the third a
Speaker 2: solo home run to left that gave the Astros a
Speaker 2: two to nothing lead. Then the Pride of Long Beach
Speaker 2: Milliken John Singleton gave the Astros the lead for good.
Speaker 4: Three two pitch now to Singleton, swing out and beltic
Speaker 4: deep too right, This one's going into the upper deck
Speaker 4: for a two run home Round four nothing Astro. Singleton's
Speaker 4: eighth home run of the season, four hundred and three
Speaker 4: feet to the upper deck. He just mass a three
Speaker 4: two cutter that was inside and he turned on it,
Speaker 4: dropped the head of the bat down and got the
Speaker 4: best part of it.
Speaker 2: Singleton with a two run home run four hundred and
Speaker 2: three feet.
Speaker 3: Astros up four to nothing.
Speaker 2: Du Pond then an RBI double in the eighth Inny
Speaker 2: and that was the final nail in the coffin for
Speaker 2: the Dodgers, as the Astros go on and shut them
Speaker 2: out five to nothing. Frommer Valdez gets to win his
Speaker 2: ninth of the season. He struck out ten along the way.
Speaker 2: Gavin Stone gets tagged with the loss. He falls to
Speaker 2: nine and two on this season. Dodgers sixty two and
Speaker 2: forty three now overall, still a six and a half
Speaker 2: game lead in the division. Both the San Diego Padres
Speaker 2: just keep on winning and they're not going to go
Speaker 2: anywhere the rest of the season. No doubt about that.
Speaker 2: Game two of this three game set coming up. Justin
Speaker 2: Robleski on the mountain, the leftender go for the Dodgers,
Speaker 2: and with more, let's head out to the Gallpin Moters
Speaker 2: broadcast booth in Houston, as we say good afternoon to
Speaker 2: Rick Monday and Tim Neffert.
Speaker 3: Guys, Tim, thank you very much.
Speaker 4: Rufe closed again here as it is much of the
Speaker 4: summer in Houston, Texas, as the Astros get set to
Speaker 4: take on the Dodgers, Game two of this three game
Speaker 4: weekend set. Dodgers start the night sixty two and forty three,
Speaker 4: six and a half ahead of the Padres in the
Speaker 4: National League Western Division. Astros still a game up on
Speaker 4: the Mariners in the AL West at fifty four and
Speaker 4: forty nine. Last night, right before the game, Freddie Freeman
Speaker 4: had to go home, so he missed his first game
Speaker 4: all season. Dodgers did not have his bat in the lineup,
Speaker 4: and Houston really took advantage from Bervaldez at one point
Speaker 4: had retired sixteen straight hitters. And anytime you see that
Speaker 4: in the game, you know the offense just is not
Speaker 4: gonna have much of a chance. And used to going
Speaker 4: on to shut him out five nothing.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and it was all speed pitches. That really kind
Speaker 5: of confused this Dodger ball club. I mean, normally they
Speaker 5: had lent to particularly well, but not the case in
Speaker 5: last night's ball game. One of the things that I
Speaker 5: noticed last night and I confirmed it with some numbers
Speaker 5: looking at it today, the Dodgers they have the best
Speaker 5: batting average as a team in the National League when
Speaker 5: they put the first pitch into play, And I thought
Speaker 5: last night, if you're looking at how the Valdez pitched,
Speaker 5: he tried to get ahead early in the count. He
Speaker 5: tried that. In fact, the very first bat of they
Speaker 5: faced that being show Hey o'tani in the very first
Speaker 5: inning the ballgame just underway. What happened in the first
Speaker 5: pitch a double, so you get RBI possibilities. But then
Speaker 5: it went to three outs in a row following that.
Speaker 5: Dodgers just won for nine with runners in scoring position
Speaker 5: last night. But I thought that they were tentative and
Speaker 5: they expanded the strike zone from an offensive standpoint, They're
Speaker 5: gonna have to him at that again tonight with all
Speaker 5: speed pitches to.
Speaker 4: I try to find a way to even up the series.
Speaker 4: Ronel Blanco at nine and five and a two seventy
Speaker 4: five era facing Justin Robluski. Robluski makes his fourth major
Speaker 4: league start, and for the Dodgers, they've got the lefties
Speaker 4: back in the lineup and Gavin lux moving way up
Speaker 4: in the lineup to the third spot.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Dave Roberts. Last night in the elevator back of
Speaker 5: the hotel after the ballgame, it turned to me beause
Speaker 5: some of the coaches were on there. We're talking about
Speaker 5: the game and frustration of last night. He goes, Hey,
Speaker 5: who do you think I'll have hitting you to the
Speaker 5: third or fourth in tomorrow's game, meaning tonight, And I said, well,
Speaker 5: Gavin Luxey's one of the hottest hitters that you have.
Speaker 5: And for Luxi's done that. I mean for the last
Speaker 5: seven games, he's eleven for his last twenty, and he'll
Speaker 5: be in that number three spot tonight. Interesting point where
Speaker 5: we are right now, very quickly in the season, because
Speaker 5: you know, the trade deadline is on the thirtieth, and
Speaker 5: right now there are twelve teams boasting that they're in
Speaker 5: the playoff contention. You know, team in the Nation League
Speaker 5: Western Division is really making up some ground right now,
Speaker 5: and that's Arizona. They won fifteen in last twenty two.
Speaker 5: They're seven and a half out, but they're kind of
Speaker 5: positioning themselves. You saw the magic they had last year
Speaker 5: going to the World Series as a wild card, and
Speaker 5: they're trying to knock on the door right now.
Speaker 4: Dodgers still the number of head to head matchups against Arizona,
Speaker 4: so it's not going to be any picnic down the stretch.
Speaker 4: In order for the Dodgers to win one hundred games,
Speaker 4: they've got to go thirty eight and nineteen. At this point,
Speaker 4: they're on pace for ninety six wins. The number of
Speaker 4: wins isn't that important as opposed to the number of
Speaker 4: games they finish ahead of the next best team.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think the biggest number on wins is try
Speaker 5: and get one tonight, make it sixty three in the ballgame.
Speaker 5: As far as the season goes, they're going to have
Speaker 5: to hit better more consistently they did last night, and
Speaker 5: there's no question about it. They're going to have to
Speaker 5: run the bases better than they did last night. Last night,
Speaker 5: well in one inning, the base running well, you go
Speaker 5: back to a base running one toh one.
Speaker 4: Well, the Dodgers need to find a way to win
Speaker 4: on the road. Last eight of ten road games have
Speaker 4: been in the lost column anytime. The Astros have won
Speaker 4: eleven of their last thirteen home games, outscoring the opposition
Speaker 4: seventy six to thirty three. Dodgers and Astros Game two
Speaker 4: Dodgers trying to find a way tonight here in Houston.
Speaker 2: Tim, all right, thank you guys, as we cutting down
Speaker 2: to first pitch. Dodger fans get that game day meal on.
Speaker 2: It's Shaky's Pizza Parlor. What are your Shanky's Pizza, Chicken
Speaker 2: and Mojo's right now at Shaky's dot Com. Coming up
Speaker 2: here on Dodgers on Deck, you'll hear from the manager
Speaker 2: Dave Roberts.
Speaker 3: We'll check in with David vas Say.
Speaker 2: Of course throughout the show, he'll go one on one
Speaker 2: with one of the young right.
Speaker 3: Handers for the Dodgers, River Ryan.
Speaker 2: We'll dive deeper to this pitching matchup. We'll get you
Speaker 2: an injury report up next, so your Otani rewine and
Speaker 2: we'll visit with Kirsten and Watson from Sports and at LA.
Speaker 2: So lead you out to first pitch of Houston Dodgers
Speaker 2: and Astros on this Saturday. Thanks for being with us.
Speaker 3: I'm Tim Kates's Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 1: It's Lorongo Casino Dodger was on deck y'all on the
Speaker 1: official home of La Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 2: HiT's the Dodgers and Astros Justin Rowski and Ronel Blanco
Speaker 2: of the pitching matchup Game two of this three game set.
Speaker 2: First pitch coming up at four ten, this is.
Speaker 1: The Otani three wide.
Speaker 4: He swings the first pitch and he slashers went into
Speaker 4: left center field for a base hit and O'tani rumbling
Speaker 4: around first on his Wait a second and he's in
Speaker 4: with a leg double, his twenty eighth double of the season.
Speaker 4: Pitch two, Otani is ripped up the middle of base
Speaker 4: hit and they got a fastball right around the knees
Speaker 4: that split the plate in half, and Otani hit it
Speaker 4: to the right of second base up the middle. Now
Speaker 4: the one too, there goes Otani. Pitches in the dirt
Speaker 4: throw down and that hits Otani. It was a terrible
Speaker 4: throw to the right of the bag. It glanced off
Speaker 4: the gloovel. Two they hit. O'tani went over toward the
Speaker 4: shortstop and there was paining you to grab it. So
Speaker 4: stolen base number twenty five for sho Hey Otani.
Speaker 2: Shoo Tani last night had two of the Dodgers six hits.
Speaker 2: He goes two for three on base three times. You
Speaker 2: heard the stolen base there. He's now got twenty five
Speaker 2: on this season. But the Dodgers get shut out in
Speaker 2: the series opener last night in Houston five to nothing.
Speaker 2: The final The Otani Rewind brought to you by Itto Antoyocha,
Speaker 2: Japan's number one green tea and the tea that showey
Speaker 2: Otani loves and drinks available at local Diso stores, Amazon
Speaker 2: and eto in dot com.
Speaker 3: That's it O E M dot Com.
Speaker 1: This is Kirston's Corner with Kirston Watson.
Speaker 2: Kierson now joins us from Mint Made Park before Game
Speaker 2: two of this three game set. Kirston Freddie Freeman. He's
Speaker 2: away from the team right now. So the Dodgers have
Speaker 2: added some help in his absence.
Speaker 6: Yes they have, and he's gonna be away for the team.
Speaker 6: We don't know the exact timeline, but what's most important
Speaker 6: right now is that he's with his family. So he
Speaker 6: and Chelsea and the kids, they're the thoughts and prayers
Speaker 6: are with them at the moment. So as long as
Speaker 6: Freddie needs, he's going to have the family. Emergency list
Speaker 6: time is usually a seven to nine day, so again
Speaker 6: no timeline on his return. So what that means for
Speaker 6: just who's here, what the lineup looks like. Things do
Speaker 6: look a little bit different at the moment, Hunter Fidusha
Speaker 6: he is being activated, his family is going to be
Speaker 6: coming down as he's going to making his major league debut.
Speaker 6: Once he gets out there. He is a catcher. We
Speaker 6: saw him a lot at spring training. He's got a
Speaker 6: great bat, and so that's really what his usage at
Speaker 6: the moment. It's getting his bat where they can. He's
Speaker 6: not someone who could play the field, Dave said. If
Speaker 6: he gets into the game again, it's really just for
Speaker 6: a bat maybe to backup kid. So on the back
Speaker 6: end of the game, we'll kind of see what that
Speaker 6: looks like. But even with looking ahead to tomorrow, you
Speaker 6: know Will Smith is going to be they're gonna give
Speaker 6: him the day off and Austin Barnes will be catching.
Speaker 6: So right now, it's kind of putting pieces together as
Speaker 6: we kind of get through just this very large injury
Speaker 6: bug I think that's attacked the team and then obviously
Speaker 6: just some personal reasons for some others. So again piecing
Speaker 6: things together. But when Hunter, hopefully he's got a great
Speaker 6: bat We saw it a lot. He's been performing really
Speaker 6: well at Triple A, so hopefully he can kind of
Speaker 6: be a little boost this team needs.
Speaker 2: And you mentioned the different guys that are hurt and
Speaker 2: then mixing and matching in the lineup. Last night Gavin
Speaker 2: Lux goes two for three, batty ninth and today he's
Speaker 2: batty third.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, hey, when it comes to Gavin Lux,
Speaker 6: he's earned his way to the top of the order.
Speaker 6: And yes, again, lots of injuries at the moment were
Speaker 6: used to there's no Freddy, there's no Mookie, there's no
Speaker 6: Max Munsey. The list kind of feels like it goes
Speaker 6: on and on. But Gavin Lux, he came out of
Speaker 6: the All Star break and he's gotten back to exactly
Speaker 6: where they want him to be, you know, as much
Speaker 6: as it has taken some time, but defensively, he's been
Speaker 6: in a really good spot for majority of this season,
Speaker 6: if not all of this season, and then offensively, it
Speaker 6: just took him time to kind of get his legs
Speaker 6: under him. He was telling me recently after he won
Speaker 6: National Player of the Week that you know, he didn't
Speaker 6: realize just the impact his knee injury was kind of
Speaker 6: having on just when it comes to the swing in
Speaker 6: that full the need to have his whole body kind
Speaker 6: of going together, that was impacting it a little bit
Speaker 6: more than he had thought. And so now he just
Speaker 6: knows that he's got his legs are truly under him.
Speaker 6: He feels strong, he feels good to go. And even
Speaker 6: this All Star break, he went home and he saw
Speaker 6: his uncle Agischmid, who's also his one of his hitting coaches,
Speaker 6: and so he was telling him, you know, you just
Speaker 6: gotta be aggressive, you know, have the confidence within yourself.
Speaker 6: Be aggressive, like Dave always says, moved the ball forward.
Speaker 6: He was saying that, you know, he just wants to
Speaker 6: put it up in the air and put it in play,
Speaker 6: and so he's been doing more of that and getting
Speaker 6: those results. So this is exactly you know, look, it's
Speaker 6: the second half of the season. It's truly go time,
Speaker 6: and so he feels that he's in a really good
Speaker 6: spot right now and now it's just kind of keeping
Speaker 6: it consistent. So hopefully he can do just that today,
Speaker 6: He'll do it at the top of the order.
Speaker 3: Hopefully he can keep it going to night Kirsten. We
Speaker 3: appreciate it.

Speaker 2: groins train, Miguel Rojas on the IL the right for
Speaker 2: him tightness, Mookie Bets on the IL, Yoshanova Yamamoto on
Speaker 2: the I L Walker Bueler. Last night in Triple A
Speaker 2: Oklahoma set, he made a rehab start, four innings, four runs,
Speaker 2: eight hits, two walks, three strikeouts. He threw seventy two
Speaker 2: pitches and will most likely make another minor league rehabit
Speaker 2: start before the Dodgers making a decision on what to
Speaker 2: do with him the rest of the season. Michael Grove
Speaker 2: on the IL, Max Munsey, Bruce dark gradall, Ryan Brazier,
Speaker 2: who pitched last night. He in Oklahoma City, all on
Speaker 2: the sixty day. I L all right, let's head out
Speaker 2: to Houston and get the pregame thoughts to the Dodgers
Speaker 2: skipperd anything.
Speaker 7: Dad questions for Dave, Dave? Can you just describe Dave?
Speaker 3: Can you talk about the pressure in.
Speaker 1: The dugouts with Dave Robberts Dave?
Speaker 7: Yesterday when we heard the news, just to Freddie.
Speaker 6: Freeman going home to be with his family during this time.
Speaker 6: What is the plan though? We saw that Hunter produce.
Speaker 7: It's been activated.
Speaker 8: What's the plan for him, Well, he's on the family
Speaker 8: emergency list. I think you have you know, seven days,
Speaker 8: potentially nine days. I think for us, we don't know.
Speaker 8: We're just trying to let him spend time with his
Speaker 8: family and you know, pray that things continue to improve.
Speaker 8: I don't know, you know, his time, and I think
Speaker 8: that for me personally, it's just kind of waiting to
Speaker 8: hear from him and when he wants to come back.
Speaker 8: So right now, yeah, we recalled hunter and he's kind
Speaker 8: of here for coverage. Left handed bat family from Louisiana,
Speaker 8: so they'll be making their way out here and hopefully
Speaker 8: we can you know, get him in a bat at
Speaker 8: some point.
Speaker 3: Can he play the field or.
Speaker 8: No, he's just he He hasn't played. He hasn't played
Speaker 8: anywhere else side of catcher.
Speaker 9: With the Fagan arm, Like, is there a waying Will
Speaker 9: Smith big first or something.
Speaker 8: Like that that's not gonna happen. Will hasn't played for
Speaker 8: I think he played first in an extra ding game
Speaker 8: in San Francisco and didn't make a play. So I
Speaker 8: don't think he's gonna be at first base. So yeah,
Speaker 8: so Austin will catch tomorrow and then hopefully you know
Speaker 8: we'll still get trye Hunter at bat?
Speaker 2: All right, Hunter Forducia called up from Triple A, Oklahoma City.
Speaker 2: He's there as an extra bat off the bench. The
Speaker 2: Dave Roberts report down there in the dugout brought to
Speaker 2: you by Service Titan. Dave Roberts is a tightening in
Speaker 2: his own right, and he's got a plan before his
Speaker 2: team hits the field. You need one too your growing
Speaker 2: contracting business. Let's Service Titan help you implement it. Learn
Speaker 2: more at Service Titan dot com. Will we continue here
Speaker 2: on Dodgers on Deck, We'll check in with David Bassay
Speaker 2: as we are leading up to first pitch of Houston
Speaker 2: Dodgers and Astros.
Speaker 3: I'm Tim Kaateson's Los Angeles Dodgers Audio, Nework.
Speaker 1: This is Marongo Casino Dodgers on Deck.
Speaker 5: On your home for the Blue.
Speaker 2: All Season Law Dodgers and Astros.
Speaker 3: Game two of this three games. Sent justin Rob Luski
Speaker 3: on the mount. First pitch coming up at four to ten.
Speaker 3: The umpire crew for sapt's game.
Speaker 2: Brought to my Fred Loyer Insurance celebrating fifty years of
Speaker 2: providing reliable and affordable car insurance for you and your family.
Speaker 1: Joining Tim Kats on Dodgers on Deck.
Speaker 9: I accept everybody for who they are.
Speaker 1: This is Dodger insider David Basse.
Speaker 7: All right, DV.
Speaker 2: You look at the Dodgers lineup in this matchup against
Speaker 2: the Astros. Obviously you know Freddy Freeman for those reasons,
Speaker 2: they gotta hurt Mookie Betts, Maxi Munty's been out for
Speaker 2: a while. You look at the lineup today, it's getting
Speaker 2: a little thin.
Speaker 9: Yeah, not only those superstars, Tim, but also you think
Speaker 9: about role players that you may not feel that have
Speaker 9: had a great offensive season. They haven't, but Miguel Rojas
Speaker 9: and Chris Taylor also hurt the Dodgers depth. And that's
Speaker 9: part of the reason why Gavin Lux is hitting third.
Speaker 9: Luckily for the Dodgers, he seems to have hit his
Speaker 9: stride since the All Star break. He went back to Wisconsin.
Speaker 9: If you remember on the pregame show, he shared with
Speaker 9: us on the last homestand and work with his uncle
Speaker 9: in the batting cage during family reunions back there, and
Speaker 9: his uncle was the one that reminded him to stay
Speaker 9: connected to the ground. So Lux is hitting third today
Speaker 9: and Dave Roberts alluded that Miguel Vargas may get the
Speaker 9: start at third base tomorrow with the way things are
Speaker 9: going right now with so many guys hurt, and obviously
Speaker 9: Freddie Freeman being back with his family.
Speaker 2: All right, speaking to hurt, David, how about some updates
Speaker 2: Walker Buehler, Bruce dog Graderol, a name we haven't heard
Speaker 2: in a while.
Speaker 3: Michael Grove.
Speaker 9: Yeah, Michael Grove and Bruce dar Graderol both appeared in
Speaker 9: their second rehab game yesterday for Oklahoma City. Good results.
Speaker 9: They each pitched an inning of scoreless baseball, but Dave
Speaker 9: Roberts said today that they are nowhere near close to
Speaker 9: returning to the bull And Walker Buehler, Yes, he did
Speaker 9: pitch yesterday, but he did not pitch well. He gave
Speaker 9: up eight hits in four innings, gave up four runs
Speaker 9: in four innings. And that's the reason why he is
Speaker 9: going to have another start in Oklahoma City instead of
Speaker 9: rejoining the Dodgers. And at this point in time, Tim
Speaker 9: it's more about results with Buehler than it is about help.
Speaker 9: The Dodgers would like to see better results from Bueller
Speaker 9: before they bring him back up to the major leagues.
Speaker 9: Because they cannot afford to have Bueller come up and
Speaker 9: give up three or four runs in the first three
Speaker 9: or four innings of a game. They need him to
Speaker 9: kind of reinvent himself a little bit or make the adjustments.
Speaker 9: He's not the same pitcher physically as he was back
Speaker 9: in twenty nineteen or twenty twenty. He's going to find
Speaker 9: a way to be more of a pitcher to get
Speaker 9: back closer to being effective. At this stage of his career.
Speaker 2: The David is driven by Ford. If there's one thing
Speaker 2: we like, it's choices. Find yours with the four f
Speaker 2: one to fifty gas hybrid or y'all electric tough. This
Speaker 2: mark can only be called f one fifty Tuesday, three
Speaker 2: o'clock Pacific, it's the trade deadline TV. We're starting to
Speaker 2: see some guys move around the league. Jass Chisholm getting
Speaker 2: traded into the Yankees.
Speaker 3: What are you hearing?
Speaker 9: Well, Yeah, The big one for the Dodgers was Randy
Speaker 9: a Rose Arena. Going back a month, the Dodgers were
Speaker 9: working on a deal that would bring a Rose Arena
Speaker 9: to the Dodgers that obviously did not come to fruition.
Speaker 9: They were never really in on Jash Chisholm.
Speaker 4: But I guess the.
Speaker 9: Last attractive trade chip the Marlins have is their closer,
Speaker 9: Tanner Scott. But my understanding is the Marlins are asking
Speaker 9: for a lot for Tanner Scott, and that's part of
Speaker 9: the reason why the Diamondbacks went with aj Puck instead
Speaker 9: of Tanner Scott a couple of days ago. The Dodgers
Speaker 9: are looking for an impact bat. It could be somebody
Speaker 9: from the Angels, whether it's Taylor Ward or Louis Renheefo,
Speaker 9: Nico Horner from the Cubs, or Ian Hat from the Cubs.
Speaker 9: And also, you know, it's interesting when you look at
Speaker 9: the landscape of closers. The Pirates are still in the
Speaker 9: National League wildcard race, but you never know, to try
Speaker 9: to get better, they may have to trade one of
Speaker 9: their back end relievers in David Bednar or e Raaldis Chapman.
Speaker 9: So we'll see what happens. But the Dodgers certainly have
Speaker 9: a lot of different ways they can pivot. Tommy fam
Speaker 9: of the White Sox seems to be a name emerging
Speaker 9: being connected to the Dodgers these days.
Speaker 2: We'll find out as the clock continues to tack down. David,

Speaker 2: Stadium was the scene. Game five of the NLDS Dodgers
Speaker 2: taking on the Houston Astros. After the Astros won the
Speaker 2: first two games at the Astrodome in Houston, the series
Speaker 2: came back to Dodger Stadium. Dodgers won Game three, Game
Speaker 2: four to set up a decisive Game five, Nolan Ryan
Speaker 2: against Jerry Royce. Nolan Ryan pitched well. Jerry Royce pitch
Speaker 2: well to help out the Rodgers, who then in the
Speaker 2: bottom of the sixth inning broke it open.
Speaker 4: You talk about emotion, You just think on Tuesday, somebody's
Speaker 4: gonna have to play two.
Speaker 5: Hours Sosia Hey said, however.
Speaker 2: He's gonna got home nothing.
Speaker 3: Dot it, Tommy an amazing comeback.

Speaker 5: down by two, and you said before it was an
Speaker 5: easy thing to say, but you.
Speaker 3: Hadn't go out and.
Speaker 1: Do it well.
Speaker 7: I told him Friday.
Speaker 4: In the meeting, I believed that we were going to
Speaker 4: beat them, more than I believed anything in my life.
Speaker 3: But I said, all I want you guys to go
Speaker 3: is believe the.
Speaker 6: Same thing they did. They did a great job.
Speaker 3: And won a victory. I don't want to thank.
Speaker 1: God for giving all of us this wonderful opportunity.
Speaker 3: It was really great.
Speaker 2: It's the great Tommy Lasorda there postgame with Tony Kubek.
Speaker 2: You heard Joe Garajoel on the call on Mike Soosha's
Speaker 2: RBI single. Dodger scored three runs in the bottom of
Speaker 2: this sixth inning, and then in the bottom half of
Speaker 2: the seventh inning, the Dodgers would tack on one more
Speaker 2: on a two out triple from Steve Garvey as the
Speaker 2: Dodgers beat the Astros in Game five of the nineteen
Speaker 2: eighty one NLDS four to nothing to advance to the NLCS.
Speaker 2: This magical moment brought to you by Hoffey hot Dogs,
Speaker 2: a so Cal treasurer for over one hundred years. Yeah,
Speaker 2: there's a hoffeybrand dot com to find out where you
Speaker 2: can purchase Crave Delicious Haffey hot Dogs. When we continue
Speaker 2: here on Dodgers on Deck, we'll check back in Rick
Speaker 2: Monday as we are leading up to first pitch from
Speaker 2: Houston Dodgers and Astros on Tim Kass Los Angeles Dodgers Audio.
Speaker 1: Howork, this is Lorono Casino Dodgers on Dodgers on Deck.
Speaker 1: Y'all on the official home of La Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 2: Dodgers in Houston as they continue this weekend set against
Speaker 2: the Astros. Justin Robleski, you want to know on this season,
Speaker 2: go up against Ronel Blanco first pitch coming up at
Speaker 2: a four to ten. Dodgers fans, you can start your
Speaker 2: future by going to the California Community colleges. Financial aids
Speaker 2: available to help you. They can help you tuition, books
Speaker 2: and sometimes even the rent. It's time to take that
Speaker 2: next big step. All right, classes can fill quickly, So
Speaker 2: enrolled today and I can go to college dot.
Speaker 1: Com and now joined by David Bassey. Here's La Dodgers
Speaker 1: broadcaster and World Series champion Dodger Rick Monday.
Speaker 9: Rick Monday where deep in the heart of Texas. And
Speaker 9: I'm not sure if this was planned or not, but
Speaker 9: right outside your radio booth here is a photo of
Speaker 9: Nolan Ryan's no hitter against your nineteen eighty one Dodgers.
Speaker 9: That's not Southern hospitality.
Speaker 5: You have to leave, don't you. Thanks for bringing it up.
Speaker 5: By the way, Dwayne McDonald brought that up to me
Speaker 5: yesterday and I said, oh, thanks, anything else that's depressing,
Speaker 5: I'll tell you what's even more depressing. Coming to this ballpark.
Speaker 5: Is it looking at a replica, if you will, of
Speaker 5: the World Series, the World Championship of ring that they
Speaker 5: have from that year, the garbage Can year. That's aggravating.
Speaker 9: Yeah, Clayton Kershaw said as much as well. He does
Speaker 9: not like seeing it. He does not like coming here.
Speaker 9: But the Dodgers have got to turn to Patrick and
Speaker 9: they've got to find a way to score some runs tonight.
Speaker 5: Well. The other part too is and if you look
Speaker 5: at the first inning last night, I mean the very
Speaker 5: first pitch he gets, show Heyotana gets the double to
Speaker 5: left center field to figure, okay, fine, Dodgers will take
Speaker 5: the early lead. Will Smith strikes out line drive to
Speaker 5: right field by tioscar Her. Nattie pot has grounds out.
Speaker 5: So missed opportunities. The Dodgers last night for one for
Speaker 5: nine with runners in scoring position. But I think the
Speaker 5: big story was is that they ran the bases horribly.
Speaker 5: And I underline that by horribly when you look at
Speaker 5: what happened in that semonth enty trying to get on
Speaker 5: the board, I mean two different mistakes. You're the one
Speaker 5: or third you cannot jog in the home plate and
Speaker 5: it was ruled that Miguel Vargas did not touch home
Speaker 5: plate before another base running blunder, that being by Kicki Hernanez,
Speaker 5: who went around second base for some reason, went past
Speaker 5: second base. He was easy pickings boom, he gets tagged out,
Speaker 5: run doesn't score because of jogging towards home plate. That's
Speaker 5: the third out of the inning. The inning is over.
Speaker 5: The Dodgers missed golden opportunities to score. This cannot happen.
Speaker 5: And if you look at the Dodgers, while they had
Speaker 5: a good road trip, I mean a good homestand at
Speaker 5: six and one with that lost last night, if you
Speaker 5: look at the bigger picture, Dodgers have dropped eight of
Speaker 5: the last ten away from Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 9: Yeah, they have not played well on the road, going
Speaker 9: back to before the All Star break. And like you
Speaker 9: mentioned Rick, those type of things, especially now without Miguel Rojas,
Speaker 9: without Chris Taylor, without Freddie Freeman, the list goes on
Speaker 9: and on. Those things get.
Speaker 5: Magnified, no question about it. You know, last night, going
Speaker 5: up after the ballgame on the elevator, of riding with
Speaker 5: Dave Roberts and a couple of coaches as well, and
Speaker 5: just talking very briefly about the ball club I mean,
Speaker 5: you look at it, as you mentioned right now, you
Speaker 5: have Mookie Bets on the injured list. You have Max Munsey,
Speaker 5: Miguel Rojas, Chris Taylor. You're missing Freddie Freeman and we hope,
Speaker 5: by the way, and we send our best wishes to
Speaker 5: Freddie and his family with their son Max. On top
Speaker 5: of it. Well, those are the position players. Then you
Speaker 5: look at the pitchers. You have Yamamoto, Dueller, who didn't
Speaker 5: pitch particularly well last night in Triple A. Gradol is pitching.
Speaker 5: We haven't seen him at the big league level. Bobby
Speaker 5: Miller is throwing tonight in Triple A. Then you've got
Speaker 5: Dustin May. He's going to be out for the entire season.
Speaker 5: So this is I mean, this is kind of a
Speaker 5: skeleton crew. And Dave Roberts looked at me last night
Speaker 5: on the on the elevator, and I can see the
Speaker 5: frustration because he's got limited sources to go to and
Speaker 5: you have twenty six man roster. But this is not
Speaker 5: really indicative of this really good Dodger team right now.
Speaker 5: I'm not throwing disparaging words towards the other guy's in
Speaker 5: the supplemental role, but these are not the big horses
Speaker 5: that pull the wagon in the majority in that nine
Speaker 5: in the batting order, and they says, well, what do
Speaker 5: you think? And I turned to him, I said, as
Speaker 5: I was getting off the elevator, I said, Dave, one
Speaker 5: thing that we know, when the band starts playing, you've
Speaker 5: got to get up and dance. And that's exactly what
Speaker 5: has to happen with this dog your bunk club. They've
Speaker 5: got to get up and dance.
Speaker 9: Yeah, local time six ' ten. Tonight, this game is
Speaker 9: going to start, and whoever he has, they've got to
Speaker 9: play their best, and tonight it's not going to be
Speaker 9: easy against Ronell Blanco.
Speaker 5: And I sent some frustration on the guys down down below,
Speaker 5: and I understand that because they know that they're short
Speaker 5: on the troops that pulled the majority of the wagon.
Speaker 9: Hey, River, Ryan was a shortstop until the Dodgers made
Speaker 9: him only a pitcher. You never know he might have
Speaker 9: to grab a bat for his start tomorrow.
Speaker 5: Yeah. What's the last time you got a base hit, David? Oh?
Speaker 5: You know Badingu?
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 9: Well, no, no, I played in an adult league during
Speaker 9: junior college. You know, I still had the dream, kept
Speaker 9: it going. I got a baseit in that way, s
Speaker 9: Pulva the basin.
Speaker 5: Did you get the baseball?
Speaker 7: All right?
Speaker 9: Rick, let's go look at that picture of Nolan Ryan again.
Speaker 5: Your time's up. Goodbye, see you tomorrow.

Speaker 3: But up next, go high and tight with River Ryan.
Speaker 3: They ale alluded to him.
Speaker 2: He was a two way player, shortstop pitcher acquired by
Speaker 2: the Dodgers in a trade. They made him a pitcher.
Speaker 2: Only it's been really good so far. He gets to
Speaker 2: start tomorrow. We'll hear from him today.
Speaker 3: That's next.
Speaker 2: So leads up to Dodgers and Astros from Tim Kasi's
Speaker 2: Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.

Speaker 9: It's the Dodgers and Astros getting set for Game two
Speaker 9: of this three game series, and tomorrow River Ryan will
Speaker 9: be making a second major league start deep in the
Speaker 9: heart of Texas. River thanks a lot for the time. Appreciated.
Speaker 7: Yeah, thank you for having me. I appreciate it very much.
Speaker 9: It's kind of fitting that you'll be making your second
Speaker 9: major league start here in Houston because the guy by
Speaker 9: the name of Nolan Ryan had a lot of no
Speaker 9: hitters in this for this organization.
Speaker 7: Yeah you sure did. Yeah, that was really awesome.
Speaker 9: Did Is there any connection as far as you knowing
Speaker 9: the history of the game and knowing some of these
Speaker 9: guys that came before you.
Speaker 10: I mean, there's definitely no correlation between me and Nolan Ryan.
Speaker 10: We're not related in any any means. But yeah, watching
Speaker 10: watching Nolan Ryan, a lot of videos of him when
Speaker 10: he was playing. It's pretty special man, electric stuff.
Speaker 6: Sure.
Speaker 9: I know a lot of the young guys talk about
Speaker 9: they love playing the game, but they never really watched
Speaker 9: it growing up. Did you watch a lot of baseball
Speaker 9: growing up?
Speaker 10: No, The only time I really ever watched sports is
Speaker 10: when it means something, so like playoffs or I mean
Speaker 10: All Star Game, Home run derby is pretty cool to watch.
Speaker 10: But I definitely like watching them.
Speaker 7: Watching players play when the pressure's on, you learn a lot.
Speaker 9: I keep reminding people that you were not just a
Speaker 9: pitcher when you got drafted by the Padres. You were
Speaker 9: two way players. So what inspired you to chase your
Speaker 9: dream of playing baseball?
Speaker 10: Well, the dream has always been to be a major
Speaker 10: league position player. But when I got traded the Dodgers
Speaker 10: in twenty two, they I went into the office and
Speaker 10: asked them. I was like, hey, so are we gonna
Speaker 10: still do the hitting thing or are we just pitching?
Speaker 10: And they just said, you're just gonna pitch, and I
Speaker 10: was like, all right, yes, sir.
Speaker 9: That made things a little bit more easier to focus
Speaker 9: and to grow as a pitcher, to be able to
Speaker 9: make your major league debut last week.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 10: Absolutely, When you are able to just focus on one thing,
Speaker 10: I think you can you can develop a lot of
Speaker 10: aspects in your game. I've definitely over the past two years,
Speaker 10: learned a lot on the pitching side, developed the arsenal
Speaker 10: quite a.
Speaker 7: Bit, added a couple of pitches.
Speaker 9: So yeah, and I last saw you, I told you
Speaker 9: we hadn't seen each other since spring training. Camp broke
Speaker 9: and during camp you did not really pitch a lot.
Speaker 9: So how did you get your season jump started and
Speaker 9: be able to have this opportunity?
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 10: Now, I just did a lot of rehab in spring
Speaker 10: training for the shoulder, because the year before I almost
Speaker 10: I was nearing tripling my amount of innings I through
Speaker 10: the year before, so that was pretty taxing, especially just
Speaker 10: becoming a was my second.
Speaker 7: Year just pitching my entire life, so that was a lot.
Speaker 10: But yeah, I took some rest in the off season,
Speaker 10: did some rehab in the off season. All the way
Speaker 10: through spring training and extended and then some so I
Speaker 10: think we're in a really, really good spot.
Speaker 9: Did you feel like you were starting to hit your
Speaker 9: stride before you got called up?
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean it wasn't never really the question of
Speaker 7: well the stuff play.
Speaker 10: It was being able to throw strikes and attack guys efficiently.
Speaker 10: Getting strike one is the biggest thing I can do,
Speaker 10: because if you fall behind you, you're gonna give him
Speaker 10: a chance to do some damage against you, and that's
Speaker 10: that's definitely not something you want to do.
Speaker 7: So getting strike one is huge.
Speaker 9: Did you learn something as far as the way you
Speaker 9: use your secondary pitches the sequence scene in your first
Speaker 9: start against the Giants.
Speaker 10: Yeah, I'm still definitely in the process of learning what
Speaker 10: pitches to throw in what situations, but I kind of
Speaker 10: have a pretty solid idea of what I want to
Speaker 10: do against right handers and what I want to do
Speaker 10: against left handers. So yeah, I'm just gonna, like I said,
Speaker 10: try to get strike one and then go from there.
Speaker 9: River Ryan is our guest. He made his Major League
Speaker 9: debut at Dodger Stadium, and while I was doing Dodger Talk,
Speaker 9: I saw your whole family out on the mound. You
Speaker 9: had a lot of people at Dodger Stadium. What was
Speaker 9: it like after the game and just being with them
Speaker 9: and sharing them moment.
Speaker 10: Man, it was a true blessing to have them all
Speaker 10: be able to make it out for my debut. That
Speaker 10: was very special. I'm praise the Lord that they were
Speaker 10: all able to make it, especially with what was going
Speaker 10: on with the airports. Some of the family was stuck
Speaker 10: in the airport for twelve hours thinking they might not
Speaker 10: make it, but fortunately a lot of them were able
Speaker 10: to make it out. And yeah, we we just hung
Speaker 10: out after the games, kind of talked about the outing,
Speaker 10: how blessed we are to be able to be in
Speaker 10: this situation.
Speaker 7: But yeah, it was very very fun. I could tell.
Speaker 9: Family means a lot to you.
Speaker 7: Absolutely. Yeah, Family's everything.
Speaker 10: They've They've been there supporting me since I've been you know,
Speaker 10: just a little chap So to have them still be
Speaker 10: in my corner at twenty five years of age is
Speaker 10: very special.
Speaker 9: That's awesome, River, Ryan, Before I let you go, since
Speaker 9: your roots are as a hitter, any itch to go
Speaker 9: into the batting cage at any point in time during
Speaker 9: the season, it takes some hacks. With the boys.
Speaker 7: Oh, I think about hitting all the time.
Speaker 10: I wish I could still hit, but like I said,
Speaker 10: it got taken out of my hands and we're just
Speaker 10: focusing on the pitching side and it's got me here.
Speaker 10: But I do still take some ground balls at shortstop
Speaker 10: as part of the routine leading up in the starts.
Speaker 10: You know, say athletic because I've been in a position
Speaker 10: player in my whole life. Quick twitch muscles. Got to
Speaker 10: keep them, you know, in motion. Definitely helps me on
Speaker 10: the mound, clean up my arm action. Throwing some balls
Speaker 10: from the hole at shortstop. It helps me get behind
Speaker 10: the ball better on the mound.
Speaker 7: So yeah, I love it.
Speaker 9: Maybe Dave Roberts if he needs a bunter and in
Speaker 9: a safety squeeze situation, River Ryan's available.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm always ready. I'm always ready. When my name
Speaker 7: is called, I will be ready.
Speaker 9: Okay, thanks a lot for the time, and it's great
Speaker 9: to see your trajectory from where you were in spring
Speaker 9: training to making your major league debut and just never
Speaker 9: looking back moving forward. Thanks a lot for the time.
Speaker 7: Yeah, thank you very much. I appreciate it.

Speaker 4: The Dodgers and the Astros had been made, park roof
Speaker 4: is closed. It had been raining again here today doesn't
Speaker 4: matter indoors who've got dry conditions, natural grass, and a
Speaker 4: good place to play baseball. Tonight, expecting another sellout crowd
Speaker 4: here in Houston, Justin Robleski will make his fourth major
Speaker 4: league start. The left hander coming off his best start
Speaker 4: as a big leaguer. He got a no decision against
Speaker 4: the Boston Red Sox, going four and a third shutout innings.
Speaker 4: And what we've seen out of Robluski so far reverse splits.
Speaker 4: Left handers are hitting him better than right handers. Four
Speaker 4: hundred for the lefties and one ninety four for the
Speaker 4: right hander.
Speaker 5: Yeah, if you look at the last two Stars, right
Speaker 5: hitters have hit just below one fifty and doing that,
Speaker 5: I think the big thing for Reveski is to get
Speaker 5: into the swing of things very quickly and throw strikes
Speaker 5: into a nice ballgame.
Speaker 4: So Ronel Blanco going for the Astros nine to five
Speaker 4: for him, he has lost each of his last two starts.
Speaker 4: One thing, though, He's been particularly tough on left handed hitters,
Speaker 4: and the Dodgers have more lefties back in the lineup
Speaker 4: orse so Tony doesn't matter either way with him, but
Speaker 4: Lucks has moved up to the three spot. Then you
Speaker 4: go Jason Hayward and James Outman and Cavin Biggio also
Speaker 4: in there's left handed batters Dodgers and Astros. Game number
Speaker 4: two of this three game weekend set Dodgers looking to
