Speaker 6: up the first pitch. It's Tim Kashi.
Speaker 5: Everybody, and welcome in to Moulrongo Casino. Dodgers on Deck.
Speaker 5: I hope you're enjoying a little June gloom here on
Speaker 5: this Sunday morning. The Dodgers and Saint Louis, Missouri, as
Speaker 5: they wrap up their three game series with the Cardinals,
Speaker 5: your world champion Dodgers thirty eight and twenty seven on
Speaker 5: this season. After dropping the first two games of this
Speaker 5: series in San Louis, the Dodgers look to avoid getting
Speaker 5: swept as they send Clayton Kershaw to the mount of
Speaker 5: the future Hall of Famer, just twenty four strikeout, shy
Speaker 5: of three thousand in his career, still searching for his
Speaker 5: first win here in twenty twenty five. First pitch from
Speaker 5: Bush Stadium is coming up at eleven to fifteen. Between
Speaker 5: then and now, we got a lot to get to
Speaker 5: here on Morongo Casino, Dodgers on Deck, you're gonna hear
Speaker 5: from the Dodger manager Dave Roberts. David Vazay, our Dodger insider,
Speaker 5: will check in throughout the show. He's gonna go one
Speaker 5: on one with Pete Montero, Yes, Dodgers video coordinator. He'll
Speaker 5: be joining DV in about forty five minutes. We got
Speaker 5: your Dodgers magical moment. We dive deeper into this pitching matchup.
Speaker 5: Kirsten Watson from Sports and at LA will join us
Speaker 5: live from the field at Busch Stadium in just a
Speaker 5: few minutes. We head out to Tim Neverd and Rick
Speaker 5: Monday in the gallupin Motors Broadcast booth.
Speaker 3: Well.
Speaker 5: Yesterday at Busch Stadium, it was a pitchers duel, Eric
Speaker 5: Fetti and Yoshi Yama going toe to toe into the
Speaker 5: sixth inning. Ya'm a moto six shutout innings, scattered four hits,
Speaker 5: struck out nine along the way, his curveball and splitter
Speaker 5: almost unhittable yesterday. Fetti meanwhile, pitched into the sixth inning,
Speaker 5: walked four, gave up four hits. Dodgers had traffic on
Speaker 5: the base pass, but like the night before, just could
Speaker 5: not deliver with runners in scoring position for the first
Speaker 5: six innings. It remained scoreless into the bottom half of
Speaker 5: the eighth innings. Alex Burlson reached on an infield single
Speaker 5: with Benksparius on the mount a wild throw, win scored,
Speaker 5: and the Cardinals were on top one to nothing going
Speaker 5: to the top half of the ninth inning. The Dodgers
Speaker 5: get show Hey Otani on base, gets to third and
Speaker 5: then ties it up on a wild pitch.
Speaker 7: Okie Leeds at first, Otani at third, one two to
Speaker 7: Freddy Frieman play and it gets a way Hey, and
Speaker 7: here comes Otani to score. Freeman is out, but on
Speaker 7: the drop third strike with the wild pitch, Otani comes
Speaker 7: in and tie is the game at one?
Speaker 3: Is this a strange game of what?
Speaker 5: Yeah? How about that Showy Otani? He had reached on
Speaker 5: an infield single. They hit the second base bag with
Speaker 5: one out in the top of the ninth inning, Mookie
Speaker 5: Bets's single pushed him to third base. Freddie Freeman struck
Speaker 5: out with one out, but the drop third strike allowed
Speaker 5: Otani to score, and that tied the game at one.
Speaker 5: Ben Casparius back out to pitch the top half or
Speaker 5: the that the bottom half of the ninth inning, game
Speaker 5: tight at one. Gorman and rb Are a ground rule
Speaker 5: double that put the go ahead and winning run at
Speaker 5: second base. Two batters later, with five infielders, Nola fielder,
Speaker 5: Dodgers trying to induce a double playball from Nolan Aeronado. Instead,
Speaker 5: he walks him off.
Speaker 7: Won one pitch, swing on and hit in the air
Speaker 7: to the left. This is gonna do it.
Speaker 3: That's just going to drop in safely for a hit.
Speaker 7: Perrero scores and the Cardinals have walked off two to one,
Speaker 7: a walk off pinch hit for Nolan Aronauto. It's the
Speaker 7: third time this year the Cardinals have walked off in
Speaker 7: the second time this week.
Speaker 5: Yeah, how about that. The Dodgers tight in the top
Speaker 5: of the ninth lose it In the bottom of the ninth.
Speaker 5: Ryan Helsley gets the win. After the blown safe, Ben
Speaker 5: Kusparius gets his first loss, he falls to four and
Speaker 5: one as the Cardinals win it two to one. They
Speaker 5: win their first two games of this three game series.
Speaker 5: Dodgers now thirty eight and twenty seven, just a one
Speaker 5: game lead in the NL West, and today they look
Speaker 5: to get back on track before heady to San Diego
Speaker 5: for a huge three game series against the Padres. But
Speaker 5: first things first, they need to take care of business
Speaker 5: and get out of Saint Louis with at least a win.
Speaker 5: Clayton Kershaw on the mound in the series finale, first
Speaker 5: pitching Bush Stadium at eleven fifteen and with more we
Speaker 5: head out to the gallupin Bote broadcast boot as we
Speaker 5: say good morning to Tim Nevert and Rick Monday.
Speaker 7: Guys, Tim, thanks very much here in Saint Louis. It
Speaker 7: is a beautiful day. That's the first time we can
Speaker 7: really say that since we've been here for this series.
Speaker 7: But sunshine, blue skies, and baseball coming your way from
Speaker 7: the Midwest. As the Dodgers look to salvage a game
Speaker 7: in this three game series, Dodgers find themselves just a
Speaker 7: game up on San Diego and San Francisco Dodgers. Oh,
Speaker 7: thanks to the Brewers last night for a walk off
Speaker 7: run to defeat San Diego. But thirty eight and twenty
Speaker 7: seven the record for the Dodgers. They have lost six
Speaker 7: of their last ten games. They're one game under five
Speaker 7: hundred on the road now this year at fifteen and sixteen. Meantime,
Speaker 7: the Cardinals are four back of the Cubs in the
Speaker 7: Central Cardinals thirty six and twenty eight. Overall, the pitching
Speaker 7: matchup today is something something we're used to and something
Speaker 7: we're not. Clayton Kershaw something Dodger fans.
Speaker 3: Are used to us.
Speaker 7: He continues his west for three thousand strikeouts and for
Speaker 7: the first time this year. Michael McGreevy. You made his
Speaker 7: big league debut last year with the Cardinals. Former first
Speaker 7: round draft choice called up from Triple A to make
Speaker 7: the start. Moll the big story really is the lack
Speaker 7: of run production for the Dodgers in this series, the
Speaker 7: lack of hitting with runners in scoring position. How does
Speaker 7: that turn around?
Speaker 1: Well, I think first of all, the mindset has to
Speaker 1: be not to take the field trying to salvage a
Speaker 1: game in this series. I think you have to take
Speaker 1: the field with the idea this is the day you
Speaker 1: kick off the longest wind streak of the season. And
Speaker 1: I say that full well is no I'm going to
Speaker 1: smile on my face or anything else. That's the attitude
Speaker 1: of professional athlete. You have to be able to set
Speaker 1: that goals. Hey, look, today's the day that we start
Speaker 1: something that we needed to start a few days ago,
Speaker 1: no question about that. But I think the biggest thing
Speaker 1: is it trying to cut down on the swings. Some
Speaker 1: of the swings a little bit too big. Therefore, when
Speaker 1: you have the big swing, it's a little bit long,
Speaker 1: long swing. And if we look at the Cardinals the success,
Speaker 1: you know they not hit the ball knock the cover
Speaker 1: off of it either. But it's strange Dodgers have lost
Speaker 1: two in a row, being one for twenty five with
Speaker 1: runners in scoring position, and yet you look at the
Speaker 1: Saint Louis Cardinals. They've had only twelve at bats total
Speaker 1: and only three hits with runners in scoring position, but
Speaker 1: they have been timely. The other part, too, is the
Speaker 1: Dodgers need to tighten the defense. They're not playing really
Speaker 1: Dodgers type of baseball to this particular point in this series.
Speaker 7: The Dodgers' best outfield arm is on the bench today.
Speaker 7: Andy pa has after ending his eleven game his streak yesterday,
Speaker 7: Yes today, all.
Speaker 3: Yeah, a little bit of a breather.
Speaker 1: I mean, he's had a lot of ground to cover,
Speaker 1: there's no question about that in playing and for the Cardinals,
Speaker 1: you know they're trying desperately. This is the wonderful thing
Speaker 1: about competition. Cardinals are trying to close the gap on
Speaker 1: the surprising Chicago Cubs. Surprising from the standpoint they've won
Speaker 1: seven of ten. They're four games in front of the
Speaker 1: Saint Louis Cardinals. But there's another team behind the Cardinals, Milwaukee,
Speaker 1: just five and a half and the Brewers have won
Speaker 1: eight of their last ten. So there's a lot going
Speaker 1: on in that Western Division with the Dodgers. There's a
Speaker 1: lot going on in the Central Division with the Cardinals.
Speaker 7: So Otani leading off again as usual, Tascar Hernandez back
Speaker 7: in the lineup today after a day off yesterday. Looked
Speaker 7: like tay Oscar is really struggling, in spite of the
Speaker 7: fact he had a double in Game one. In recent days,
Speaker 7: he's been chasing a lot of pitches, a lot of
Speaker 7: sliders outside and just hasn't been as productive and sometimes
Speaker 7: a breather.
Speaker 1: Can help handles the bolt inside as well as anyone
Speaker 1: in baseball. The breaking ball, as you mentioned, in particular
Speaker 1: away from right handed batters, has been problematic. That's got
Speaker 1: to change, and how does the hitter change that? First
Speaker 1: of all, from a mindset, think more up the middle
Speaker 1: and not pull the ball.
Speaker 7: Dave Roberts gave an update on Tony Gonsolin, who had
Speaker 7: an MRI here at Saint Louis on his right pitching elbow. Again,
Speaker 7: He's on the injured list with a sore right elbow,
Speaker 7: but the word is that the ulner collateral ligament, the
Speaker 7: UCL is intact. So that was good news on the
Speaker 7: part of Tony Gonsolin that he got from.
Speaker 1: The doctors, and I would imagine the Gonsolin exhaled a
Speaker 1: lot when he got the news on that. It's still
Speaker 1: going to be a work in progress, but that's good
Speaker 1: news initially.
Speaker 7: And the Dodgers did set their pitching rotation for the
Speaker 7: next series, although there is some question mark what's gonna
Speaker 7: happen on Tuesday. Dustin May will go tomorrow against San
Speaker 7: Diego in San Diego. Tuesday, as of right now is
Speaker 7: a bullpen day. Justin Robleski is the probable for Wednesday
Speaker 7: Dodgers and Cardinals. Wrapping up here in Saint Louis, Clayton,
Speaker 7: Kershaw will.
Speaker 3: Make his fifth start.
Speaker 7: He will face Michael McGreevy of the Cardinals, will make
Speaker 7: his first start ever against the Dodgers.
Speaker 5: Tempt All right, thank you guys, as we count you
Speaker 5: down to first pitch. Dodger fans, make sure you get
Speaker 5: your game day meal on a Shaky's Pizza parlor. What
Speaker 5: are your Shaky's Pizza, Chicken and Mojo's right now at
Speaker 5: Shaky's dot Com. Coming up here on Marongo Casino Dodgers
Speaker 5: on Deck, David Vaz Say, our Dodger insider checks in.
Speaker 5: We'll break down this pitching matchup. We here for the
Speaker 5: manager himself, Dave Roberts. But I'm next. You're Otani Rewine
Speaker 5: and Kirsten Watson from Sports and at LA joins us
Speaker 5: live from the field at Bush Stadium as we lead
Speaker 5: you up to first pitch on this Sunday Dodgers and Cardinals.
Speaker 5: Thanks for being with us. I'm Tim Kass, the world
Speaker 5: champion Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 6: This is Morongo Casino Dodgers Hunting Game on your home
Speaker 6: for La Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 5: Dodgers Cardinals, final game of this three game set from
Speaker 5: Bush Stadium in Saying Louis. Dodgers looking to get a
Speaker 5: win to avoid getting sweat. Clayton Kershaw Michael McGreevy. The
Speaker 5: pitching matchup. First pitch set for eleven fifteen.
Speaker 6: This is the Otani rewhy.
Speaker 7: Now a one ozero and Otani swings grounds it toward
Speaker 7: the middle, hits the base. It hit the base and
Speaker 7: Otani is safe. Mason Win the shortstop behind it, ready
Speaker 7: to field it. It hit the base and karned off
Speaker 7: to the right and Otani with a literal bass hit
Speaker 7: and the Dodgers have the tying run aboard.
Speaker 1: Well, that was perfectly aimed at the bag and the
Speaker 1: bounce right on schedule. Otherwise it's out. Number two rookie.
Speaker 7: Leeds at first, Otani at third one two to Freddy
Speaker 7: Freeman plag and it gets away and here comes Otani
Speaker 7: to score. Freeman is out, but on the drop third
Speaker 7: strike with a wild pitch, Otani comes in and ties
Speaker 7: the game at one.
Speaker 3: Is this a strange game of what show?
Speaker 7: Hey?
Speaker 5: Otani a single up the middle to hit the second base,
Speaker 5: Bag advanced to third on the Mookie bed single and
Speaker 5: then scores the lone Dodgers run in the top half
Speaker 5: of the ninth inning yesterday on a drop third strike.
Speaker 5: The Dodgers Zell would give up a run, a walk
Speaker 5: off RBI double from Nolan Aeronado in the bottom half
Speaker 5: of the ninth inning as a lose to the Cardinals
Speaker 5: yesterday two to one.
Speaker 6: This is Kirston's corner with Kirston Watson.
Speaker 5: Hey Kirson now joins us from Saint Louis. Brought to
Speaker 5: you by Cars for Kids. Ready to donate that old car?
Speaker 5: Call eight seven seven Cars for Kids right now, friendly
Speaker 5: agents are standing by to take your donation. That's Cars
Speaker 5: with the K to donate your car today. I know
Speaker 5: Dodger fans panicking a little bit right now, Keirson, with
Speaker 5: the way the offense not really scoring runs, especially in
Speaker 5: the Saint Louis series. How about the team the players
Speaker 5: a little concerning on.
Speaker 8: There in you know, I wouldn't say that it's concerning.
Speaker 8: I think there's just, uh, there's some frustration because of
Speaker 8: course they want to score their runs and they're getting
Speaker 8: on base or providing themselves with opportunities to score runs,
Speaker 8: and even yesterday we saw them score on the wild
Speaker 8: tape they got lucky with the show hey Ball that
Speaker 8: they hit off the bag. So you're seeing situations like that.
Speaker 8: But it's a matter of yes, you're right, they want
Speaker 8: to win and in order to do that they have
Speaker 8: to kind of potentially work through some things at the
Speaker 8: plate with their approach. But Dave Roberts today did say,
Speaker 8: as much as maybe the results aren't showing and there
Speaker 8: are a few guys who are scuffling, he does feel
Speaker 8: like it's a veteran group. They know who they are,
Speaker 8: they can state as who they are. They're not chasing
Speaker 8: and they're not trying to overdo things of coursing situations.
Speaker 8: So it's just a matter of Look, they do want
Speaker 8: to salvage the series. They do not want to get
Speaker 8: slept by the Cardinals. They do want to figure some
Speaker 8: things out today. As a young picture going for the Cardinals,
Speaker 8: they're gonna have to find ways to get to him
Speaker 8: because he has been quite efficient as of late. So
Speaker 8: hopefully they can get things going early to also give
Speaker 8: that run support for Clayt Kershaw, who's going to be
Speaker 8: on the mountain today.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Clayton Kershaw is still looking for his first win
Speaker 5: here in twenty twenty five and just twenty four strikeouts
Speaker 5: away from three thousand.
Speaker 8: Yeah, and for him, you know, when Dave Roberts was
Speaker 8: talking about him today, he said, you know, what has
Speaker 8: been consistent about Quinton Kershaw this year has been the inconsistency.
Speaker 8: And so for him, it's that fastball command. It's just
Speaker 8: sometimes it's there and it's sufficient and it's sharp and
Speaker 8: it's the Kursha that we know super well, and other
Speaker 8: times it's just not quite in sync. And even in
Speaker 8: his last one, he just felt like, you know, the
Speaker 8: stuff wasn't there, it wasn't good enough where he likes
Speaker 8: it to be. And we know what happened in that
Speaker 8: game and how next month he was able to kind
Speaker 8: of bounce back from the air and late in the
Speaker 8: game get the home run to win the game. So
Speaker 8: it's just it's a situation in which he's looking to
Speaker 8: get in sync and kind of be that guy he's
Speaker 8: used to being. It does look a little bit different
Speaker 8: right now. Of course, he is coming off with injury
Speaker 8: and things like that, but he of course wants to
Speaker 8: get back to him true self and so hopefully today
Speaker 8: he can do that. It is going to be a
Speaker 8: tall task going against this Cardinal's lineup. But you know,
Speaker 8: for Kershaw, he is one of the greatest of all time.
Speaker 8: He's a first ballot Hall of Famer. There's no doubt
Speaker 8: about that. It's just a matter of how can he
Speaker 8: get things going, be efficient, but also you know, out
Speaker 8: there eat some innings because we do want to see
Speaker 8: these starters take on some debt to also help protect
Speaker 8: the bullpins, who we know the usage has been high
Speaker 8: for them all year.
Speaker 5: Great day to get a victory, then a happy flight
Speaker 5: to San Diego for a big series against the Padres.
Speaker 5: But take care of business first, curiously that we appreciate it.
Speaker 5: We'll check with you after the game. Still to come
Speaker 5: here on Morongo Casino Dodgers on deck, we'll dive deeper
Speaker 5: to this pitching matchup. David Vesego's one on one with
Speaker 5: Pedro Montero, the Dodger video replay and infield coach No
Speaker 5: next so will get you an injury report and we
Speaker 5: hear from Dodger manager Dave Roberts as we lead up
Speaker 5: to Dodgers and Cardinals on this Sunday. First pitch from
Speaker 5: Saint Louis Is, eleven fifteen. I'm Tim Kasis, the world
Speaker 5: champion Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 6: This is Marongo Casino Dodgers on Deck on your home
Speaker 6: for the Blue All Season Low.
Speaker 5: Morongo Casino Dodgers on Deck continues on this Sunday morning.
Speaker 5: We lads up to the first pitch from San Louis
Speaker 5: Dodgers and the Cardinals Moroango Casino Resort and spat a
Speaker 5: Grand Slam for good times. Clayton Kershaw, Michael McGreevy the
Speaker 5: pitching matchup. First pitch coming up at eleven fifteen.
Speaker 6: This it's the LA Dodgers Injury.
Speaker 5: Report, presented by UCLA Healthy, official medical partner of your
Speaker 5: Los Angeles Dodgers. Tony Gonsolin yesterday plays back on the
Speaker 5: iel with the right elbow soreness. Tyler Glassnell on the
Speaker 5: iel with the shoulder inflammation, Blake Snell on the IL,
Speaker 5: Luis Garcia Rookie Sasaki, Blake trying to Bruce Dark graderol
Speaker 5: All on the IL trying to work their way back.
Speaker 5: Immit Sheen working his way back from Tommy John surgery
Speaker 5: a year ago. He is in Triple A, Oklahoma City.
Speaker 5: A name to continue to keep listening for as he
Speaker 5: could be an added arm to this rotation in the
Speaker 5: next month or so. All Right, we head back out
Speaker 5: to Bush Stadium in Saint Louis and check in with
Speaker 5: the Dodger Skipper. Anything else Dave Questions for Dave.
Speaker 3: Dave, can you just describe Dave?
Speaker 6: Can you talk about the pressure in the dugouts with
Speaker 6: Dave Robbers?
Speaker 9: You know what, I think that there's a few guys
Speaker 9: in our lineup right now that are really feeling pretty
Speaker 9: good at the plate, and there's guys right now that
Speaker 9: are trying to find their swings a little bit not
Speaker 9: as comfortable. I just think that we just got to
Speaker 9: continue to create opportunities. But you know, it's a veteran group,
Speaker 9: you know, and ironically a couple of the younger guys
Speaker 9: are feeling pretty good at the plate. Giving Andy Pajes
Speaker 9: a day today. I think he's played eight or nine
Speaker 9: in a row, so just give him a blow getting
Speaker 9: ready for the San Diego series and pay Song swinging
Speaker 9: about well, So just to get him another start too, Dude.
Speaker 10: What have you seen from Kershaw from his first start
Speaker 10: to his last start?
Speaker 3: I think the.
Speaker 9: I think what's been consistent is the inconsistency of the command.
Speaker 9: I think that's the main thing where I think there's
Speaker 9: a certainly uncharacteristic walks in there getting behind some counts,
Speaker 9: which is so uncharacteristic of Clayton. So I think that's
Speaker 9: probably the main thing today. If we can sort of
Speaker 9: get harnessed at fastball to both sides of the play,
Speaker 9: get the slider doing what it's what it's supposed to do,
Speaker 9: what we've come to know it to do. When he
Speaker 9: does get count leverage, that'll be a tell, you know,
Speaker 9: if we're putting balls in play with two strikes, then
Speaker 9: it's kind of not doing what we wanted to do.
Speaker 10: What do you ache?
Speaker 5: All Right, there's a magic Dave Roberts talking to the
Speaker 5: media in particular about today's starter, Clayton Kershaw and what
Speaker 5: he needs to do to be effective. Who we continue
Speaker 5: here on Dodgers on Deck. We will check in with
Speaker 5: David Vassay as we get you the very latest from
Speaker 5: Saint Louis leading up to Dodgers and Cardinals. I'm Tim
Speaker 5: Gates is the world champion Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Nework.
Speaker 6: As we were saying, this is Marongo Casino Dodgers on
Speaker 6: tack on, the official home of La Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 5: Dodgers and Cardinals wrap up this three game sent from St.
Speaker 3: Louis.
Speaker 5: Dodgers looking to get a win for getting swept out
Speaker 5: of St.
Speaker 3: Louis.
Speaker 5: Clayton Kershaw, Michael McGreevy the pitching matchup. First pitch coming
Speaker 5: up at eleven fifteen.
Speaker 6: Joining Tim Kats on Dodgers on Deck.
Speaker 4: I accept everybody for who they are.
Speaker 6: This is Dodger insider David Bassei, Well DV.
Speaker 5: It's always a fun day when a future Hall of
Speaker 5: Famer number twenty two takes the mound for the Dodgers.
Speaker 10: Yeah, Clayton Kershaw making his eleventh career start in the
Speaker 10: regular season here at Bush Stadium, and the results have
Speaker 10: been mixed and we won't even get into the postseason. Tim,
Speaker 10: But in ten starts here in the regular season, Kershaw
Speaker 10: zra is three seventy seven and that's when he was
Speaker 10: at the peak of his power. It's gonna be interesting
Speaker 10: to see what kind of Kershaw we get today. In
Speaker 10: his last start, he did not have a fuel for
Speaker 10: his curveball. The command of the slider was not there.
Speaker 10: But you hope that those things start to come more
Speaker 10: consistently as he gets more starts under his belt.
Speaker 4: Also, consider this team.
Speaker 10: There's no guarantees Kershaw pitches next season, so this very
Speaker 10: well maybe the last time he ever pitches in Saint
Speaker 10: Louis at Bush Stadium.
Speaker 5: Wow, David is driven by four. If there's one thing
Speaker 5: we like, its choices. Find yours at the fort one
Speaker 5: to fifty gas hybrid all electric tough this mark, he
Speaker 5: can only be called the f one fifty David. Yesterday
Speaker 5: Tony Gonsol and we found out right about this time
Speaker 5: yesterday that he was going on the Ange list. What
Speaker 5: have we learned since?
Speaker 10: Well, Dave Roberts said, they got the results of the
Speaker 10: MRI Gonsolin took yesterday, and they got good news because
Speaker 10: his UCL ligament was intact.
Speaker 3: So that's a good thing.
Speaker 10: But when is he returning nobody knows, and that leaves
Speaker 10: the Dodgers having to scramble for starting pitching in San Diego.
Speaker 4: They got dustin May tomorrow.
Speaker 10: Dave Roberts said, they aren't sure what they're going to
Speaker 10: do on Tuesday and on Wednesday, Justin Robleski is going
Speaker 10: to make a second consecutive start, not ideal when you're
Speaker 10: only a game ahead of the team chasing you and
Speaker 10: the first time you're seeing them and also tied in
Speaker 10: the lost column with the Padres.
Speaker 5: Yeah, speaking of those Padres, as you mentioned, you're gonna
Speaker 5: see them pretty quickly. After this game. The team's going
Speaker 5: to head to San Diego and for the first time
Speaker 5: this year, a three game series head to head against
Speaker 5: the Padres starting tomorrow.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it should be fun.
Speaker 10: It is going to be rocous in San Diego, There's
Speaker 10: no doubt about it. Dave Roberts and the Dodgers can
Speaker 10: downplay it all they want. When they're in that environment
Speaker 10: starting tomorrow night, you can't help but the adrenaline getting
Speaker 10: up there. It's similar to the team down I'm playing
Speaker 10: when the Yankees came to Dodgers Stadium. Once they were
Speaker 10: in it, they felt it and you saw them all
Speaker 10: rise to the occasion.
Speaker 5: Now, it's gonna be a great series. It's gonna be
Speaker 5: exciting in San Diego. With first things first, they gotta
Speaker 5: take care of business today. Thanks a lot. Dave will
Speaker 5: check back in with you in just a couple of minutes.
Speaker 5: Coming up here on Marongo Casino. Dodgers on deck we'll
Speaker 5: dive deeper into this peach pitching matchup. Pete Montero, the
Speaker 5: Dodger replay coordinator infield coach, will join David Vasse coming

Speaker 5: What a night for Yasiel Puigue, three home runs, seven
Speaker 5: rbi as the Dodgers demolished the Cardinals back in twenty eighteen,
Speaker 5: seventeen to four. This Hafey magical moment brought to you
Speaker 5: by Hofey hot Dogs, Haffey Socal's local treasure for nearly
Speaker 5: one hundred years. Hoffey hot Dogs local and so great.
Speaker 5: When we continue here on Dodgers on Deck, we'll check
Speaker 5: back you on Rick Monday. As we're leading you up
Speaker 5: to first pitch from St. Louis Dodgers and Cardinals. I'm
Speaker 5: Tim Kasies, the world champion Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 6: This is Marongo Casino Dodgers on Deck on your home
Speaker 6: for the Blue All season long.
Speaker 5: Law Dodgers and Cardinals from Saint Louis, final game of
Speaker 5: this three game set. Dodgers have dropped the first two
Speaker 5: to the Cardinals are going to get back on track.
Speaker 5: Still a game lead in the nl WES as far
Speaker 5: as first place is concerned. Time off for the Dodgers'
Speaker 5: game plan. What's your game plan? Dodger fans? Start your
Speaker 5: future to California Community college. Financial aids available to help
Speaker 5: you with tuition, books, and sometimes even the rent. It's
Speaker 5: time to take that next big step. Classes can fill
Speaker 5: up quickly, so enroll today and I can go to
Speaker 5: college dot com.
Speaker 6: And now joined by David Bass saying, here's La Dodgers
Speaker 6: broadcaster and World Series champion Dodger Rick Monday.
Speaker 10: One more day in Saint Louis with Rick Monday. Rick
Speaker 10: better weather conditions today than what we saw the first
Speaker 10: two games.
Speaker 3: Uh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: That thing that's up in the sky, that big bright thing,
Speaker 1: I haven't seen it for a couple of days. And
Speaker 1: for the Dodgers, they have not seen some offense in
Speaker 1: a couple of days. One for twenty five with runners
Speaker 1: in scoring position over the first two games of this series.
Speaker 1: And you don't really expect to lose two in a
Speaker 1: row when the opposing team with runners in scoring position
Speaker 1: over the two games collectively.
Speaker 3: Just three for twelve.
Speaker 1: And that's kind of strange balance, no question about it.
Speaker 1: But you know what today is because we used to
Speaker 1: walk into Dave Roberts's office and we say, hey, you
Speaker 1: know what today is.
Speaker 3: It's a good day to kick somebody's family.
Speaker 4: The Dodgers need to win.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And here's the other part too.
Speaker 1: If we look at the Western Division standings, San Diego
Speaker 1: and San Francisco knocking on the door, they're each just
Speaker 1: a game behind the Dodgers. The Dodgers have not played well.
Speaker 1: It's not just the hitting. They have k not pitched
Speaker 1: particularly well. They have not been fielding the ball particularly well.
Speaker 1: And it's been a strange couple of days games wise
Speaker 1: here in Saint Louis. They need to change things around us.
Speaker 1: In their hands, they can do it, and I full
Speaker 1: will expect them to come out today behind Clayton Kershaw
Speaker 1: and understands, Hey, look they may have to shorten up.
Speaker 1: I mean, here's the other thing too. The Dodgers have
Speaker 1: gone now what three games that out hitting a ball
Speaker 1: out of the ball. Yeah, they came into the series
Speaker 1: with most. They came in with the most home runs
Speaker 1: of any team in baseball coming into this series.
Speaker 10: Okay, Rick, you have a lot of answers there. I
Speaker 10: have some more questions regarding what you just educated us on. Okay,
Speaker 10: Dodgers one hitting twenty five at bats with runners in
Speaker 10: scoring position, How does that change? Do they have to
Speaker 10: shorten their swings? They do they have to have more
Speaker 10: team at bats?
Speaker 3: Yep, all of the above.
Speaker 1: Yes, And it's not hitting five hundred foot home runs.
Speaker 1: In a couple of cases, if we look at Freddy Freeman,
Speaker 1: it's that kind of a strange, a strange series. Not
Speaker 1: making contact, which is not like Freddy Freeman.
Speaker 3: But he's not the only one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, trying to get some runners on base, and I
Speaker 1: think take advantage of opportunities. They don't know a whole
Speaker 1: lot about Michael McGready that they're going to be facing today,
Speaker 1: the fact that he'll challenge it, there's no question about it.
Speaker 1: What about Clayton Kershaw? But you know, this game has
Speaker 1: it goes full circle from time to time. We walked
Speaker 1: in at the Madhagarian Al Raboski tells us, as we're
Speaker 1: getting it, we got off the bus and we're coming
Speaker 1: up the elevator and you were right there and you
Speaker 1: talk to him. He goes, hey, be easy on us today.
Speaker 1: I'm a what the heck are you talking about? You
Speaker 1: won each of the first two games. But that's the
Speaker 1: competitive level.
Speaker 3: Hey.
Speaker 10: That's what Dave Roberts said as well, Rick, that they
Speaker 10: get the Sunday best from every team they face, not
Speaker 10: only because they're the Dodgers, but also the world champions
Speaker 10: with three MVPs, now they got four today with Kershaw
Speaker 10: on the mountain.
Speaker 1: You remember when I started saying in spring training that
Speaker 1: everybody is going to be waiting for the Dodgers to
Speaker 1: come into town. It's the defending world champions, and as
Speaker 1: you said, it's the Los Angeles Dodgers. They're high expectations
Speaker 1: and everyone wants to beat the best. And that's what
Speaker 1: the Dodgers have been from an organizational standpoint, from a
Speaker 1: team standpoint, and they're in first place in the Western Division.
Speaker 1: But they can play better baseball than what they have,
Speaker 1: at least in this particular area. This was a big
Speaker 1: day for me in baseball, and I didn't realize it
Speaker 1: until this morning. I got a text and then my
Speaker 1: family text. This was the first day of the Major
Speaker 1: League Draft way back when nineteen sixty five, and I
Speaker 1: remember it distinctly because we were in the College World Series.
Speaker 1: I say we, the team from Arizona State University. We
Speaker 1: were in uniform, setting down the right field line at
Speaker 1: Rosenblatt Stadium, ready to take on a team I don't
Speaker 1: remember who it was that we were going to take on.
Speaker 1: And then a couple of days later we wound up
Speaker 1: in the final game of beat Ohio.
Speaker 3: State and won the nc too A Championship. But this
Speaker 3: was the date that the Baseball put in the Major
Speaker 3: League Draft.
Speaker 1: I'm glad that they moved it out of the same
Speaker 1: time period as the College World Series because that should
Speaker 1: be the biggest stage for those players that are participating
Speaker 1: and not have the college Draft over there. So kudos
Speaker 1: to Baseball that moved the draft to a different spot.
Speaker 3: You beat me to the punch.
Speaker 10: Look at my calendar, I have an annual reminder that.
Speaker 3: Today's the day you're a sick puppy.
Speaker 10: Rick Monday first ever drafted player from college.
Speaker 3: So the system would never work.
Speaker 1: Although if you look at the draft, remember the guy
Speaker 1: who's pitching for the Dodgers. Today was the first draft
Speaker 1: by the Los Angeles Dodgers in two thousand and six.
Speaker 1: He's headed the Hall of Fame. We're talking about Clinton Kershaw.
Speaker 10: All right, Rick, happy anniversary being the first ever player
Speaker 10: drafted in the amateur draft.
Speaker 3: But we're waiting for the number one pick this year.
Speaker 10: No doubt, and Brady Ebol will be drafted this scene.
Speaker 10: There we go, all right, Rick, enjoy the day. Hopefully
Speaker 10: the Dodgers get a win today for Sea on the
Speaker 10: plane sounds happy flight, happy flight to San Diego.
Speaker 3: We'll send it back to you in the studio.
Speaker 5: Tim are thanks lat d V. Still to come here
Speaker 5: on Marongo Casino Dodgers on day. We're gonna dive deeper
Speaker 5: into this pitching madschup. We got a young man in
Speaker 5: his first season in the big leagues against a future
Speaker 5: Hall of Famer, and Clayton Kershaw will dive deeper to
Speaker 5: that pitching matchup. Rick'll be back with Tim and gets
Speaker 5: you those keys to the game. But up next we
Speaker 5: go high and tight with one of the guys behind
Speaker 5: the scenes for the Dodger coaching staff, Pete Montero. That's next.
Speaker 5: So it leads up to Dodgers and Cardinals from Sant Louis.
Speaker 5: First pitch at eleven fifteen. I'm Tim Kass, the world
Speaker 5: champion Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 7: As we were.
Speaker 6: Saying, this is Marongo Casino Dodgers on jack on the
Speaker 6: official home of LA Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 5: Dodgers and Cardinals from Saint Louis, Clayton Kershaw, fetch your
Speaker 5: Hall of Famer Michael McGreevy out of U see Santa
Speaker 5: Barbara San Clementa High School, making his second start in
Speaker 5: the Big Leagues. Dodgers Baseball is brought to you by
Speaker 5: Zench Sushi, made fresh onsite daily by professionally trained sushi
Speaker 5: chefs with precision, passion, a tradition you can taste. Where
Speaker 5: can you pick him up? Well, it's at the Zenchi counter,
Speaker 5: right near the deli counter at Ralphs. Yeah, go inside
Speaker 5: your Rol's grocery store. Find that Zench counter, the tun
Speaker 5: rollspisy tuon roles, salmon roles, ten per shrimp roles. They
Speaker 5: got all the platters, they got the pok bulls. Zenchi
Speaker 5: sushi always fast, fresh and easy.
Speaker 6: D Now what will likely be vasse fielding insults from
Speaker 6: a Dodger player.
Speaker 5: It's an engagement of endearment. This is high and tight.
Speaker 3: Well.
Speaker 10: On the last home Standino Ebol had to be at
Speaker 10: his son Brady's graduation and that meant a dream coming
Speaker 10: true for a lifelong Dodger fan growing up in the
Speaker 10: San Fernando Valley and a guy that earned that opportunity
Speaker 10: coming up coaching through the Dodgers minor league organization since
Speaker 10: twenty seventeen. He also has a strong connection to one
Speaker 10: of the all time great Dodgers and certainly a big
Speaker 10: part of Dave Roberts' staff in the video room and
Speaker 10: also working with Mookie Betts and the infielders, and that
Speaker 10: is the one and only Pedro Montero AKA.
Speaker 4: Thanks a lot for the time. Hey, thanks for having me, Dave.
Speaker 4: I really appreciate it.
Speaker 10: Have your feet hit the ground since the other night
Speaker 10: coaching first base?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I would say so.
Speaker 11: It definitely, you know, dream come true like you said earlier,
Speaker 11: and yeah, I'm back to after the grind.
Speaker 4: As soon as the game was over, I went right
Speaker 4: back to what I had to do after the game.
Speaker 4: What was it like for you to be out there?
Speaker 4: How did you slow the game down? Considering that was
Speaker 4: a goal of yours.
Speaker 11: You know, I think just my experience and you know,
Speaker 11: having been coaching, you know, all these years and where
Speaker 11: I started with the Regis Smith Baseball Academy at the
Speaker 11: time was Reddy Smith Baseball Centers, and I think my
Speaker 11: experience is you know, coaching at the lower levels all
Speaker 11: the way through the minor leagues and then coaching winterball
Speaker 11: and Puerto Rico, I think helped me and you know,
Speaker 11: my preparation and stuff that I still do to this day,
Speaker 11: even in the video room and the things that I
Speaker 11: help on that and you know, just kind of prepared
Speaker 11: me and helped me when I got out there. I
Speaker 11: was really comfortable being out there.
Speaker 10: Hey, John Wood and aways used to failing to prepare
Speaker 10: is preparing to fail, That's correct.
Speaker 11: And you know it's something that I've been doing, you know,
Speaker 11: my entire life. And then when I came to the
Speaker 11: Dodgers in the minor league is the same thing. And
Speaker 11: then you know, being on the major league staff helping
Speaker 11: out with you know, multiple parts of the game, and
Speaker 11: you know, I just continue to lock it in and
Speaker 11: I have a lot of time to be able to
Speaker 11: lock it in in the video room.
Speaker 10: Pete Montero is our guest. He's one of the Dodgers'
Speaker 10: key coaches. He got to coach first base the other night,
Speaker 10: filling in for Dino Ebel. You mentioned Reggie Smith. He
Speaker 10: obviously has meant a lot to so many that he
Speaker 10: has touched. How much does Reggie Smith mean to you?
Speaker 10: I mean, Reggie's a big part of my life. Uh,
Speaker 10: you know, I I tell this to a lot of
Speaker 10: people like Reggie's like my second father.
Speaker 4: And you know, he brought me up in this game.
Speaker 11: And prepared me to be a coach when I didn't
Speaker 11: know I was gonna do that, and uh, you know,
Speaker 11: spend a lot of time with him as a you know,
Speaker 11: younger athlete high school and uh, you know, going through
Speaker 11: CA and taking lessons and learning the game, and then
Speaker 11: him asking me to come and coach after I graduated
Speaker 11: college in two thousand and seven.
Speaker 4: You know, he told me, you know, I really want
Speaker 4: you to come help.
Speaker 11: And I was by aside for two years learning and
Speaker 11: understanding every part of the game. And you know, I
Speaker 11: think to this day that attention to detail because of
Speaker 11: the things that he asked me to do, and how
Speaker 11: you know, you got to be a well rounded coach
Speaker 11: and I just you know, focus on one thing, but
Speaker 11: know a little bit about everything has kind of helped
Speaker 11: shape me to where I'm at today.
Speaker 4: And you know, I owe them a lot.
Speaker 11: And obviously I've had a lot of other coaches in
Speaker 11: my life. You know, my dad helped me, you know,
Speaker 11: introduce me to this game, and you know a lot
Speaker 11: of other coaches that have impacted me, but he's the
Speaker 11: one that you know, taught me the the details and
Speaker 11: all the ins and outs of the game and sharing,
Speaker 11: you know, the Dodger Way, and you know, being here
Speaker 11: with the Dodgers now my ninth season, it's a dream
Speaker 11: come true.
Speaker 4: And you know I learned the Dodger a when I
Speaker 4: was a young.
Speaker 11: Kid, and you know, to be able to show that now,
Speaker 11: it's it's cool. I was talking to Reggie about it
Speaker 11: the other day, and you know, being able to see
Speaker 11: him when he used to coach first base and.
Speaker 4: I got a chance to be out there was pretty
Speaker 4: special for the both of us.
Speaker 10: When you got that phone call from Reggie Smith, how
Speaker 10: proud was he and what did he tell you after?
Speaker 11: I mean, for most people that know Reggie, Reggie is
Speaker 11: a real tough guy. And when he said he had
Speaker 11: tears in his eye. Is a you know, it was
Speaker 11: a pretty special moment for the both of us, and
Speaker 11: he said he was proud of me, and he said,
Speaker 11: you got plenty of work to do and just continue
Speaker 11: to work on your process and continue to grow and
Speaker 11: learn every single day, which is something that.
Speaker 4: I strive for every single day when I'm at the ballpark.
Speaker 10: Pete Montero is our guest, and his work did not
Speaker 10: just start when the season started or when spring training started.
Speaker 10: You were a key help to Mookie Bets this offseason.
Speaker 10: Tell us about the connection you made with Mookie Bets
Speaker 10: to help him prepare for shortstop this season. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 10: obviously being a kid from the valley and Mookie and
Speaker 10: I had talked last season, and you know, he said
Speaker 10: he was living in LA and you know, we all,
Speaker 10: you know, talk and I said, hey, you know, if
Speaker 10: you ever need help, let me know.
Speaker 4: I'm not too far from you, about ten minutes from
Speaker 4: you in Burbank. And so it just happened.
Speaker 11: I saw a picture of a kid that I coach
Speaker 11: and I know his dad that at Crespy and he
Speaker 11: was at the field and Mogan and.
Speaker 4: I started talking. He goes Hey, what are you doing tomorrow?
Speaker 11: And I was like nothing, he goes, you want to
Speaker 11: come out, So it's kind of how it started again.
Speaker 11: And then you know we went from three days to
Speaker 11: five days to six days a week, and you know,
Speaker 11: that was kind of how it all came came together.
Speaker 11: And you know, one thing that I've always learned from
Speaker 11: Reggie and you know even some other people in this
Speaker 11: game is you know, you always make yourself available for
Speaker 11: players and be ready whenever they need help. So that's
Speaker 11: you know, trying to do whatever I can to help
Speaker 11: this DODG your organization, you know, in any way that
Speaker 11: I can.
Speaker 10: So you're telling me during the offseason, if we showed
Speaker 10: up at Crespy, we not only would see Derek Fishsher,
Speaker 10: but we would see Mookie Bets and p D Montero
Speaker 10: working out.
Speaker 11: I mean yeah, I mean we were over at Mid
Speaker 11: Valley and it's kind of cool just even that. I mean,
Speaker 11: I remember playing All Stars at Valley, so it was
Speaker 11: I knew exactly where it was. When he's like, hey,
Speaker 11: we're going here, was like, I know where that's at.
Speaker 11: And yeah, it was a really good work that that
Speaker 11: he was able to put in and focus on, and
Speaker 11: you know I had mentioned before, you know, he didn't
Speaker 11: have to worry about playing at night. It was just
Speaker 11: breaking stuff down and you know, taking it one step
Speaker 11: out of time and moving on as the weeks went on.
Speaker 10: Dodger coach P. D. Montero is our guest. All right,
Speaker 10: tell us something about yourself. You grew up in the
Speaker 10: San Fernando Valley, you grew up a Dodger fan. Who
Speaker 10: were your group of players growing up? And where did
Speaker 10: you go to high school?
Speaker 11: Uh So, one of my favorite Dodgers growing up was
Speaker 11: Josevis Guy.
Speaker 3: You know, that's a lie.
Speaker 4: I know, I'm serious.
Speaker 11: I remember, you know, and you know there was a
Speaker 11: couple other guys rolling honestly, but I remember, even as
Speaker 11: a kid, I to this day, obviously I still wear Oakley's,
Speaker 11: but Josevis Guy, you know, was one of the first
Speaker 11: guys I saw wearing Oakley's and shin guard and you know,
Speaker 11: switch hitters short stop. So it was kind of kind
Speaker 11: of something that I came across. And you know, there
Speaker 11: was other guys out there with the daughters. I mean,
Speaker 11: you talk about you know, Mike Piazza and e K.
Speaker 4: Shout out to e K.
Speaker 3: You know, Yeah, it was.
Speaker 4: It was great.
Speaker 11: I think, you know, as a kid, one of my
Speaker 11: special moments with my dad is going to Opening Day.
Speaker 4: I went to sixteen straight.
Speaker 11: Opening days as a kid and something to this day
Speaker 11: that I remember and you know, now being on the
Speaker 11: field during Opening Day has been awesome experience only for myself,
Speaker 11: but for my family.
Speaker 4: You know, growing up as a kid, we played so
Speaker 4: many sports.
Speaker 11: Played at Sibyl, played basketball with the Calves, played at
Speaker 11: Silmar Park for basketball, played for the San Fernando Braves
Speaker 11: for football.
Speaker 4: And you know there's something that you.
Speaker 11: Know, sports taught me a lot about discipline but also
Speaker 11: kept me out of trouble. And you know, growing up
Speaker 11: in San Fernando, you know, you just got to find
Speaker 11: a way to make something to yourself. And you know,
Speaker 11: representing my my city and my community is really important
Speaker 11: to me. Baseball is discipline. You also have a fire
Speaker 11: fighting background as.
Speaker 4: Well, Yeah, I do.
Speaker 11: After I graduated college, I went to EMT School and
Speaker 11: started to interview process, went to the fire Academy, went
Speaker 11: on a lot of firefighter interviews and you know, until
Speaker 11: I got hired. And again, I think being a firefighter
Speaker 11: has helped me even more to understand the ins and
Speaker 11: outs and pay attention to more detail at work.
Speaker 4: But also now here on the baseball field. All right, P. D.
Speaker 10: Montero, congratulations on living out a dream, not only coaching
Speaker 10: first base the other night, but being part of Dave
Speaker 10: Robert's staff and being such a big part of it.
Speaker 10: And certainly the future is bright. You're not stopping now.
Speaker 11: Thanks, I appreciate it. And yeah, the work's never done.
Speaker 11: And like Reggie always says, when you think you have
Speaker 11: it made and you know it.
Speaker 4: It's probably time to go home. Hey, that's a pretty
Speaker 4: good teacher, Reggie Smith. Thanks a lot for the time. Thanks, Dee,
Speaker 4: appreciate it. There he is the man from the Grade
Speaker 4: one eight. P. D.

Speaker 5: I'm Tim Kasis, the world champion Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 6: This is Morongo Casino Dodgers Hunted on your home for
Speaker 6: La Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 5: Dodgers and Cardinals should Saying Louis first pitch from Bush
Speaker 5: Stadium is coming up at eleven fifteen and.
Speaker 6: Now before the Dodgers hit the dinam we look at
Speaker 6: the pitching matches.
Speaker 5: Hiting by your Southern California Toyota dealers. Work hard and
Speaker 5: play hard in the New Tacoma with an I Force
Speaker 5: Turbo Charts engine is a truck built for the bowl.

Speaker 5: Michael McCreevy on the Want to Know with the zero Era.
Speaker 5: Twenty four year old right hander San Clementi High School
Speaker 5: first round pick of the Cardinals in twenty twenty one
Speaker 5: at a UC Santa Barbara fastball sinker sweeper. McGreevy is
Speaker 5: one of the organization's top prospects and has pitched well
Speaker 5: in Triple A this year with fifty eight strikeouts over
Speaker 5: fifty five innings. Making his second start in the big
Speaker 5: League's debut was back on May fourth against the Mets.
Speaker 5: Five and two third, shutout innings, one hit, five strikeouts
Speaker 5: and a win over New York Clayton Kershaw, the future
Speaker 5: Hall of Famer, looking for his first win here in
Speaker 5: twenty twenty five, twenty four strikeouts away from three thousand.
Speaker 5: Isle last win coincidentally came against the Cardinals August of
Speaker 5: last year at Bush Stadium. Making his fifth start this
Speaker 5: season last time out four and two third innings, five runs,
Speaker 5: six hits in a no decision against the Mets. Clayton
Speaker 5: and Kershaw Michael McGreevy. The pitching matchup Dodgers and Cardinals
Speaker 5: were fifteen minutes away from first pitch. Keys of the game.
Speaker 5: Our next, I'm Tim Kats's the world Champion Los Angeles
Speaker 5: Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 6: This is Marongo Casino Dodgers on deck on your home
Speaker 6: for the Blue all season long.
Speaker 5: Dodgers and Cardinals wrapping up this three game series and
Speaker 5: it's off to San Diego for the first time to
Speaker 5: meet against the Padres. Clayton Kershawn in search of his
Speaker 5: first win. Michael McGreevy out of UC Santa Barbara San
Speaker 5: Clementi High School will go for the Cardinals in his
Speaker 5: second start the big leagues. Before first pitch that we
Speaker 5: head back out to the booth. Tim Neverertrick Monday, guys.
Speaker 7: Sam, thanks again and back here in Saint Louis. It'll
Speaker 7: be a really, really good day here today. The weather
Speaker 7: has moved out. Sunshine and blue sky is expected all
Speaker 7: afternoon with temperatures in the eighties, so more of a
Speaker 7: summer like day for the veteran left handed Clayton Kershaw,
Speaker 7: who looks for his first decision. Kershaw has an era
Speaker 7: in an area we don't normally associate with Clayton Kershaw
Speaker 7: five seventeen, and I think moll a lot of that
Speaker 7: stems from his first inning ERA, which is eleven twenty five.
Speaker 7: And how do you come up with that, Well, he's
Speaker 7: allowed five earned runs in the first inning this year
Speaker 7: and he's pitched four first innings, so you just do
Speaker 7: the math and it comes out to eleven and a quarter,
Speaker 7: but after that it drops to three to zero eight
Speaker 7: and one of the all time era leaders back on
Speaker 7: the mound today.
Speaker 1: It's really important that for Clayton Kershaw have command of
Speaker 1: the strike zone. The velocity is just below ninety at
Speaker 1: least so far on an average. The other part too
Speaker 1: is to be watching very closely on the slider. Normally
Speaker 1: that's a devastating pitch, but to this point it's a
Speaker 1: three ZHO four batting average against that kerb bull that
Speaker 1: was problematic the couple of times that he took them
Speaker 1: ount a little bit better finally able to dial it in.
Speaker 1: Has been hit pretty hard as well. But one thing
Speaker 1: about Clayton Kershaw, he understands how to pitch. And one
Speaker 1: thing too is that they've got a couple of guys
Speaker 1: that have faced him a lot and for Nolan. Aronado
Speaker 1: has five career home runs and at two ninety seven
Speaker 1: against him, so that'll be a good matchup to watch.
Speaker 7: Also, and Michael McGreevy called up from Triple A Memphis,
Speaker 7: making his second big league appearance this year. A spots
Speaker 7: start today for the youngster. The only Dodger that has
Speaker 7: ever faced McGreevy is Michael Confordo and everybody else will
