Speaker 7: big night at Dodgers Stadium.
Speaker 1: A sold out crowd.
Speaker 7: Expected at Dodger Stadium as show Hey Otani makes his
Speaker 7: Dodger debut on the mound for the first time since
Speaker 7: coming to La All eyes on Dodger Stadium at number seventeen,
Speaker 7: first pitch of seven ten and with more we head
Speaker 7: over to the Gallpin Motors broadcast booth as we welcome
Speaker 7: in Steven Nelson and Rick Monday.
Speaker 1: Guys.
Speaker 5: All right, Tim Kats, it's a happy Monday indeed at
Speaker 5: Dodgers Stadium, not just because the sun is shining or
Speaker 5: because the Dodgers in first place and he got a
Speaker 5: big series against the Padres Mullets. Because for the first
Speaker 5: time in six hundred and sixty three days, show Hey
Speaker 5: O'tani will take a Major League mound. He's going to
Speaker 5: show off his two way prowess for the first time
Speaker 5: in Dodger Blue.
Speaker 2: August twenty third, twenty twenty three, the last time that
Speaker 2: the show Hey Otani pitched on a major League ballgame,
Speaker 2: and Dave Roberts was asked a couple of hours ago
Speaker 2: as he was meeting with the meeting. He goes, hey, look,
Speaker 2: this is a big deal and there's no if ins
Speaker 2: and butts about us, so it's going to be interesting,
Speaker 2: you know. Dave says, Look, we're kind of maneuvering around
Speaker 2: and O'tani is chomping at the bit in order to
Speaker 2: get there. He's checked off all the boxes basically said, Okay,
Speaker 2: what else do we need to do? Well, they're going
Speaker 2: to be looking at pitch coumpt. They're going to be
Speaker 2: checking with him after the first inning, and then also
Speaker 2: observing how the command is what we have seen in
Speaker 2: the simulated games that he has thrown. The velocity has
Speaker 2: been there, the movement has been there, and he has
Speaker 2: rebounded physically very well after.
Speaker 5: He There really shouldn't be any expectations, and.
Speaker 3: That's for a couple of reasons.
Speaker 5: One, he has proven time and again whatever your expectations
Speaker 5: are from he's going to exceed him. But also just
Speaker 5: from a physical standpoint, you're not expecting a ton of
Speaker 5: innings out of him tonight. This is his first outing
Speaker 5: and as we said, six hundred and sixty three days
Speaker 5: on this particular stage.
Speaker 3: That's a good ball club.
Speaker 5: On the other side, if Ben Casperra is getting ready
Speaker 5: to pitch in Bolk, this is really just about getting
Speaker 5: him going and testing out the waters because the Dodgers
Speaker 5: they don't have as a staff any familiarity with going
Speaker 5: through it.
Speaker 3: They've never seen it happen.
Speaker 2: And no one's seen it happen. In fact, he's going
Speaker 2: to be leading off on top of it, just the
Speaker 2: third player in the National League since nineteen hundred to
Speaker 2: start a game as a pitcher serve as a leadout
Speaker 2: man nineteen oh one, Jim Jones did it, in nineteen
Speaker 2: fifty three, Alvin Dark did it. And one thing about
Speaker 2: it too, I don't think Dave Roberts or shoheo Atani
Speaker 2: or the Dodgers itself want this premiere outing by Showhey
Speaker 2: to really kind of whitewash the importance of playing this game.
Speaker 2: This is a huge step forward, not just for Otani
Speaker 2: but also for the Dodgers.
Speaker 5: His bat has taken a big step forward the last
Speaker 5: couple of games. He has reached in eight of his
Speaker 5: last nine plate appearances, so starting to warm up the
Speaker 5: big stick, as he's been preparing.
Speaker 3: To warm up that right.
Speaker 5: Arm I talked to Dalton Rushing a couple of days
Speaker 5: ago as he caught one of Otani's recent live VP
Speaker 5: sessions in his SIM game sessions. It's like hell hot,
Speaker 5: he look and Dalton he's a rookie, right, and so
Speaker 5: he never caught it before, Like Will Smith, Hadden's for
Speaker 5: training adults just.
Speaker 3: Shook his head and he's ready.
Speaker 2: He's ready. And what they don't want to get overshadowed
Speaker 2: is the Sandega Pondres have come in here three games
Speaker 2: behind the Dodgers. Pondres are in third place, and Andreas
Speaker 2: know that they have four games to try and right
Speaker 2: the ship as far as the standings of the National League,
Speaker 2: and don't let Otani overshadow the importance of playing this
Speaker 2: series and playing it the right way.
Speaker 5: All right, It's gonna be a jam Pack Knight at
Speaker 5: Dodgers Stadium. The city has been buzzing really since Sunday
Speaker 5: night when it was announced that Shoheo Tani would take
Speaker 5: the mound on Monday. So here we are Dodgers and
Speaker 5: Padres kicking off another big series four games against the friars, Tim,

Speaker 8: aboard in the bottom of the first inn. It left
Speaker 8: on left here as Luke Casey delivers and Otani drops
Speaker 8: in the left fail for a base yet it's toward
Speaker 8: the gap. It is cut off by the left fielder Ramos,
Speaker 8: holding Otani to a single and he has reached in
Speaker 8: eight straight played appearances. One to one pitch and Otani
Speaker 8: bounces one slowly towards second base. That is going to
Speaker 8: be a bang bang play at first that Otani is
Speaker 8: safe for the base hit.

Speaker 9: past is for the fan base?
Speaker 10: Yeah, it's a big day obviously, since we've been watching
Speaker 10: the show from afar and now that he's been here,
Speaker 10: it's been such an amazing thing that he can do
Speaker 10: both and you know, knowing what he's gone through up
Speaker 10: to this point, rehabing and works so hard for us
Speaker 10: to be able to finally see him take them ount
Speaker 10: here as incredibly exciting, Which should be.
Speaker 9: The expectations for everybody tonight and what to expect from
Speaker 9: the set.

Speaker 10: we normally would out of him at this.
Speaker 3: Point in the last couple of weeks.
Speaker 2: Did getting them back at this point.
Speaker 3: Like this week start to feel real for you guys?
Speaker 10: You're talking about just playing with them, I mean, you know,
Speaker 10: with each bullpen, each live it was kind of a
Speaker 10: free flowing conversation in between to make sure that he
Speaker 10: was feeling good bouncing back, and uh, you know, because
Speaker 10: this is such a unique scenario making sure we're not
Speaker 10: doing anything to put the offensive side in jeopardy. So uh,
Speaker 10: you know, it was only really up until this week
Speaker 10: or so having the conversations that it was, Okay, this
Speaker 10: is this is a real possibility.
Speaker 11: Years time, but very surprised, still live with twenty two
Speaker 11: count poly hit the first time.
Speaker 4: Fishing the big league game.
Speaker 10: After I mean, like you said, it was the conversations
Speaker 10: of how he's feeling, and then his stuff was coming
Speaker 10: out great in bullpens, and then the lives very encouraging
Speaker 10: as well, and you know, got to the point where, hey,
Speaker 10: it feels like we should take that next step and
Speaker 10: almost look to finish the rehab at the major league
Speaker 10: level because of the taxing nature of what he was doing.
Speaker 7: All Right, there's Brandon Gomes, Dodgers general manager, speaking with
Speaker 7: the media just a little bit earlier here at Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 7: They caught everybody by surprise yesterday after the game they
Speaker 7: announced that show Hey Otani would be the starting pitcher tonight,
Speaker 7: making his debut on the mound.
Speaker 1: He had a.
Speaker 7: Dodger uniform for the first time in twenty three months

Speaker 7: we'll get you an injury report and we'll hear from
Speaker 7: the manager Dave Roberts. It's the Dodgers and the Padres.

Speaker 7: Dodgers and the Padres Marongo Casino Resort and Spa, a
Speaker 7: grand slam for good times.
Speaker 6: It's the LA Dodgers Injury Report.
Speaker 7: Well, Dodger Stadium is buzzy with show. Hey Otani about
Speaker 7: to come out and start warming up. First pitch coming
Speaker 7: up at seven ten. Of course, an injury report brought
Speaker 7: to you by UCLA Healthy, official medical partner of the
Speaker 7: Los Angeles Dodgers. Tony Gonsolin on the eel with the
Speaker 7: right elbow, soort Tyler Glass now is throwing. He is
Speaker 7: out with the elbow and shoulder inflammation. Blake Snell on
Speaker 7: his bobblehead night here at Dodger Stadium. He is gearing
Speaker 7: up and ready to go, hopefully in the next few weeks.
Speaker 7: Luis Garcia on the IL. He threw a sim game
Speaker 7: today here at Dodger Stadium. Imagean he is with the
Speaker 7: Dodgers team. He has made a couple of minor league
Speaker 7: rehabit starts, and it kind of feels like Imagean on
Speaker 7: this series against the Padres could be making a start
Speaker 7: for the Dodgers. All right, we heard from Brandon Gum's
Speaker 7: Dodgers general manager. Well, hear from Andrew Freeman coming up
Speaker 7: in about twenty five minutes.
Speaker 1: Let's check in out with the Dodgers skpberd.
Speaker 4: Anything the questions for Dave Dave?
Speaker 3: Can you just describe Dave?
Speaker 4: Can you talk about the pressure in.
Speaker 3: The dugouts with Dave Roberts.
Speaker 9: Davis is obviously unique for the first time checking pitching
Speaker 9: with the Dodgers.
Speaker 4: Which should the expectations be.
Speaker 12: I think there should be a lot of uh excit
Speaker 12: certainly anticipation. I think we're all waiting to see what
Speaker 12: it looks like. You know, he's ready, he's adamant, he
Speaker 12: feels good, strong, ready to pitch a major league game.
Speaker 12: I'm not sure how long he's going to pitch tonight,
Speaker 12: but I think everyone in that clubhouse, I think the
Speaker 12: fans and media, we've been waiting for this moment.
Speaker 2: What will determine how well he actually is on the
Speaker 2: mount this year?
Speaker 12: You know, I think, uh, you know how he looks
Speaker 12: to be quite frank, the pitch count, you know how
Speaker 12: he feels after the inning for us as Dodgers. This
Speaker 12: is uncharted territory for us, It's been a while since
Speaker 12: he's been on the mound. So I think that just
Speaker 12: sort of right now, Jim leaving it open ended.
Speaker 2: You see how he looks, what are some of the
Speaker 2: specific things.
Speaker 3: And how he's throwing the ball.
Speaker 12: I think that they're certainly going to be some adrenaline,
Speaker 12: some extra motion. You might not see it overtly from him,
Speaker 12: just a command. I think armside house delivery, looks, stress, repeatability,
Speaker 12: all that stuff is kind of what I'm kind of
Speaker 12: keeping an eye on.
Speaker 7: All Right, there's the manager, Dave Roberts in the dugout
Speaker 7: with his pregame thoughts as we count you down to
Speaker 7: first pitch, Dodgers and the Padres. The buzz is all
Speaker 7: about show. Hey Otani making his Dodger debut on the mound.
Speaker 7: We will continue here on Dodgers on Deck. We will
Speaker 7: check in with David Bassey as we lead you up
Speaker 7: to first pitch from Dodger Stadium. I'm Tim Kase's world
Speaker 7: champion Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 6: As we were saying yes, is Marongo Casino Dodgers on
Speaker 6: Deck on the official home of La Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 7: It's the Dodgers and the Padre is on this Monday
Speaker 7: night series.
Speaker 1: Opener from Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 7: Show, Hey Otani on the mound, Dylan Cease, We'll go
Speaker 7: for San Diego first pitch coming up at seven ten.
Speaker 6: Joining Tim Cates on Dodgers on Deck. I accept everybody
Speaker 6: for who they are.
Speaker 3: This is Dodger insider David Basse.
Speaker 1: Dave now joins us here at Dodger Stadium. Big Night
Speaker 1: Dave Show.
Speaker 7: Hey Otani makes his Dodgers debut as a pitcher. Now,
Speaker 7: we've been talking about this for a week, so speculation
Speaker 7: that would be post All Star break.
Speaker 1: When did things change.
Speaker 11: After that simulated game in San Diego, Tim that's where
Speaker 11: Otani and the Dodgers decided this is not working out
Speaker 11: where I'm pitching, getting ramped up, simulating innings, cooling down,
Speaker 11: and then being the leadoff hitter as the DH So
Speaker 11: they just figured why not just use these pitches in games?
Speaker 11: And I know Dave Roberts and the Dodgers have said,
Speaker 11: don't expect him to be back until after the All
Speaker 11: Star Break, but if you think about it, there's the
Speaker 11: schedule right there. He's a once a week pitcher, so
Speaker 11: tonight likely just one inning, next week, two to three
Speaker 11: after that, and it just keeps building up, and by
Speaker 11: the time it's post All Star Break, he's built up
Speaker 11: to go like a regular starter five or six innings.
Speaker 11: So instead of building him up in simulated situations in
Speaker 11: practice practice, they're getting him into games. And that's the
Speaker 11: way they're building him up. So they really weren't trying
Speaker 11: to deceive us. They just changed the method to get
Speaker 11: him built up post All Star break.
Speaker 7: David is brought to you by the twenty twenty five
Speaker 7: Ford f one point fifty from California's best selling truck brand.
Speaker 7: It's time to see Ford and a new light take
Speaker 7: advantage of employee pricing through the end of June. David
Speaker 7: how much of this is Showhy wanted to pitch now
Speaker 7: as opposed to Mark pryor Dave Roberts the front office
Speaker 7: saying okay, show Hey, we need you now.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 11: After that simulated game in San Diego, Dave Roberts has
Speaker 11: said three different times that Shohy is getting quote antsy.
Speaker 11: He even said it after the game last night when
Speaker 11: he was hinting that this indeed was going to be
Speaker 11: the day that O'tani did pitch. So you know, the
Speaker 11: Dodgers have conceded they haven't been.
Speaker 4: Through this before with Otani.
Speaker 11: Otani's been through this before because he had Tommy John
Speaker 11: surgery with the Angels, so he's coming back after his
Speaker 11: second elbow surgery. They're letting him be the driving force
Speaker 11: and letting him and doctor Neil Elatrosh be the ones
Speaker 11: to really drive when he can come back and pitch.
Speaker 11: So it's been a collaboration, but mostly it's Otani and
Speaker 11: doctor Ela Trosh, along with Andrew Freeman and Dave Roberts
Speaker 11: being on the same page and communicating and keeping those
Speaker 11: lines of communication open.
Speaker 7: Are you surprised, David when they made this announcement, When
Speaker 7: you made the announcement on postgame last night?
Speaker 1: Ticket prices through the roof.
Speaker 7: The buzz in Los Angeles is like we've never seen
Speaker 7: before with another Dodger player making his pitching. People around
Speaker 7: Baseball talking about this today in June Otani back on
Speaker 7: the mound.
Speaker 1: Are you surprised to how big this is? He pitched
Speaker 1: for six years in Anaheim.
Speaker 11: Yeah, but just like everything else, what he did in
Speaker 11: Anaheim is not as big as what he's doing with
Speaker 11: the Dodgers. And I know Tonight's likely only going to
Speaker 11: be one inning, But again, Tim, Dodger games with Otani
Speaker 11: are not just games, they're events. I would say tonight
Speaker 11: maybe one of the highlights of the sporting year in
Speaker 11: Los Angeles sports, maybe even in Major League Baseball him
Speaker 11: making his pitching debut with the Dodgers. So tonight is
Speaker 11: not a Dodger game, it's an event.
Speaker 7: It's also Blake Snell Bobblehead Night, David, it's getting overshadowed.
Speaker 11: Don't bury the lead, Tim Tonight Snell Zilla Bobblehead Night.
Speaker 11: It's unfortunate that he's not able to pitch, but after
Speaker 11: the All Star break, looks like where he's circling to
Speaker 11: come back.
Speaker 7: Last we heard from Blake Snell was Saturday, just a
Speaker 7: couple of days ago.
Speaker 1: You were talking talking to Blake Snell.
Speaker 7: You threw out there, maybe you can catch the first
Speaker 7: pitch if he was gonna throw it out or somebody's
Speaker 7: family gonna throw it out. Will we see you out
Speaker 7: there in a few minutes.
Speaker 11: Well, I mean, this is the opportunity, right since I
Speaker 11: am filling in near the dugout, I'm very available if
Speaker 11: things fall apart with whoever he's chosen his second choice.
Speaker 11: Obviously I think mine was the first choice to have
Speaker 11: me do it, but obviously you know the family guilt
Speaker 11: you know comes into.
Speaker 1: Play, no doubt.
Speaker 7: All right, Dave, Well check back you with you just
Speaker 7: a couple of minutes. Coming up here on Marongo Casino,
Speaker 7: Dodgers on deck, we will hear from Andrew Freeman. That's
Speaker 7: who DV will go one on one with up next.
Speaker 7: SOO we dive deeper into this pitching matchup and your
Speaker 7: Dodgers magical moment. It's the Dodgers and Padres show, Hey

Speaker 7: in with Rick Monday, so he leads up to first
Speaker 7: pinch Dodgers and Padres show. Hey, Otani is warming up, folks.
Speaker 7: I'm Tim Cases the world champion Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 6: This is Marongo Casino. Dodgers on Tech.
Speaker 3: On your home for the Blue All Season Law.
Speaker 7: It's the Dodgers and the Padres on this Monday Night
Speaker 7: Dodgers sitting all atop the NL West show, Hey Otani
Speaker 7: makes his Dodgers debut, pitching against Dylan C's first Bitch
Speaker 7: coming up at seventen.
Speaker 6: People and now joined by David Bassey. Here's la Dodgers
Speaker 6: broadcaster and World Series champion Dodger Rick Monday.
Speaker 11: Rick, you and Steven have already touched on it, but
Speaker 11: everybody I walk by a Dodgers stadium is saying how
Speaker 11: exciting of a day it is today with Otani pitching.
Speaker 2: All you had to do was to have your eyes
Speaker 2: open as you drove into Dodgers Stadium tonight. There's something
Speaker 2: a little special in the air. This is a big,
Speaker 2: big deal. And if you were in the of the
Speaker 2: press conference with Dave Roberts, and that's exactly what he's saying.
Speaker 2: He says, this is a big deal tonight, not only
Speaker 2: because of show, Heyotani, but also because the Sandego pundrees
Speaker 2: are coming in here. Don't overlook them. They're three games
Speaker 2: behind the Dodgers. I don't think the Dodgers is going
Speaker 2: to let that overshadow the appearance of show Heyo Tani
Speaker 2: overshadowed the importance of playing good baseball because the Pandres
Speaker 2: are looking for an opening in order to close the
Speaker 2: gap in the Nation League Western Division. So, yeah, there's
Speaker 2: a lot going on tonight, a lot of different moving pieces,
Speaker 2: and everybody's going to be watching what O'tani does on
Speaker 2: the mound. You know, we're all here's one thing to
Speaker 2: look for as well. We are all creatures of habit
Speaker 2: And Dave Roberts was telling you and the rest of
Speaker 2: the media that he did have conversations with Otani about
Speaker 2: batting in the leadoff spot. Here's why he's going to
Speaker 2: be on the mound the first inning. Then once he
Speaker 2: gets the three outs, now he's the first batter. He
Speaker 2: is a creature of habit as we all are. And
Speaker 2: one of the things that we see him do is
Speaker 2: to put on the bandingloads, to put on the elbow pad,
Speaker 2: to get everything really kind of set, even before the
Speaker 2: final out is made in the in the top of
Speaker 2: the first and to get home. So he's going to
Speaker 2: have to rush things in order to get the helmet on,
Speaker 2: to get the bat. So it's going to be a
Speaker 2: little different. He's done it before, but this is going
Speaker 2: to be the first time that he has revisited that
Speaker 2: particular thing. And then we look at it, it's been
Speaker 2: six hundred and sixty three days since Otani has been
Speaker 2: on the mound in a major league ballgame.
Speaker 11: Rick, that's a great point as far as Otani being
Speaker 11: the leadoff here or do you believe that is something
Speaker 11: that will continue as the starts get longer.
Speaker 2: Here's something that I don't know the answer to, but
Speaker 2: I think we can find it out. I know that
Speaker 2: you have spoken with Brian Gorman, who's an unfiring supervisor.
Speaker 2: Is Otani going to get extra time there is a
Speaker 2: pitch clock. Is he going to get extra time to
Speaker 2: come in and get ready to hit since he is
Speaker 2: the starting pitcher. There's a very There's a lot of
Speaker 2: unique situations that really pop up with Otani, including it's
Speaker 2: not cold weather, he would not eat a jacket, but
Speaker 2: you know, it's only a pitcher that can wear a
Speaker 2: jacket if you're a runner that's on base and it
Speaker 2: has to be zipped up or buttoned up. So there's
Speaker 2: a lot of little nuances here and there. I'm not
Speaker 2: certain if the pitch clock is going to be altered
Speaker 2: or not. Hopefully that does not enter it even into
Speaker 2: the conversation during a game.
Speaker 11: And that's another great point because Major League Baseball already
Speaker 11: has tweaked the rules. They call it the Otani rule,
Speaker 11: because when he comes out of the game as a pitcher,
Speaker 11: he can still be the.
Speaker 2: DH and on the flip side, what if he's the
Speaker 2: runner and the third out is recorded, does he get
Speaker 2: more time to go back to the dugout, get his glove,
Speaker 2: and then get back on the mound and get his
Speaker 2: eight warm up pitches that he's entitled. So there's a
Speaker 2: lot of this going on, including with the umpires.
Speaker 4: Rick.
Speaker 11: As far as O'tani goes, I fully expect him to
Speaker 11: dazzle tonight because that's just what he does. But sometimes
Speaker 11: guy's coming off this long of a period on the
Speaker 11: shelf don't have the command. What if it gets a
Speaker 11: little bit of a long first inning.
Speaker 2: I'm I'm mesmerized by the fact that he can do both.
Speaker 2: This is a big deal. I can only go for
Speaker 2: myself coming off an injured list years and years ago
Speaker 2: and coming back in that first game. But I never
Speaker 2: went six hundred and sixty three days. With doing that,
Speaker 2: it's difficult and to fight the emotion and then have
Speaker 2: presence of mind to focus in which he's been remarkable
Speaker 2: in being able to do that. This is a very
Speaker 2: unique player that we're seeing and this is a part
Speaker 2: of his Dodger history that we're seeing unfold here tonight.
Speaker 11: No doubt, it's not just a game, as your partner
Speaker 11: used to say, it's an event. Charlie Steiner in the
Speaker 11: house for the event.
Speaker 2: And with Otani it's a big event.
Speaker 4: Yes it is.
Speaker 11: Rick Monday's here, whether or not Otawni's pitching, but tonight
Speaker 11: should be exciting.
Speaker 2: By the way, you look good in the time.
Speaker 11: Thanks a lot, Rick, appreciate it. There's that Father's Day
Speaker 11: magic right there. Westen it back to you in the studio.
Speaker 1: Tim, all right, thanks a lot. DV. That's a Dodger
Speaker 1: game plan. What's your game plan?
Speaker 7: How about starting your future to California Community College financial
Speaker 7: aids available to help you with tuition, books and sometimes.
Speaker 1: Even the rent.
Speaker 7: It's time to take that next big stat classes they
Speaker 7: can fill up quick en roll today and I can
Speaker 7: go to college dot com.
Speaker 1: I'm still to.
Speaker 7: Come here on Dodgers on Deck we'll get you a
Speaker 7: preview of this pitching matchup, mam. We'll be back with
Speaker 7: Steven Nelson, get you those keys to the game. But
Speaker 7: up next, we go High and Tight with Andrew Friedman,
Speaker 7: Presidents of Baseball Operations for the Dodgers.
Speaker 1: That's coming up.
Speaker 7: As we lead you up to first Pitch show, Hey
Speaker 7: Otani warm it up in the Dodgers' bullpen making his
Speaker 7: Dodgers debut on the Mountain tonight, first pitch of seven ten.
Speaker 7: I'm Tim Kas'es the world champion Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 6: As we were saying yes, is Marongo Casino Dodgers on
Speaker 6: deck on the official home of La Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 7: He's the Dodgers and Padres show. Hey Otani makes his
Speaker 7: Dodgers debut. Is the pitcher Dodgers Baseball. Brought to by
Speaker 7: Zen She handcrafted sushi made fresh on site daily find
Speaker 7: it near the deli counter. And Ralph Zen, she handcrafted sushi,
Speaker 7: always fast, fresh and easy.
Speaker 6: And now what will Levi Vasse fielding insults from a
Speaker 6: Dodger player.
Speaker 1: It's an engagement of endearment.
Speaker 3: This is high and tight.
Speaker 11: It's an exciting night here at Dodgers Stadium, and we're
Speaker 11: joined right now by the President of Baseball Operations Andrew Friedman.
Speaker 11: I know Clayton Kershaw said yesterday it feels like the
Speaker 11: players are fans wanting to see Otani pitch.
Speaker 4: What's the feeling for you tonight.
Speaker 14: Yeah, I feel the exact same way obviously, what he's
Speaker 14: done in the batter's box. For us, this is a
Speaker 14: guy who went fifty to fifty last year, leading the
Speaker 14: league in homers, and then you watch him pitch and
Speaker 14: it's hard for your brain to reconcile that the guy
Speaker 14: who is throwing with that kind of delivery, arm action,
Speaker 14: the deep mix is also the guy on the other
Speaker 14: half of the inning that does what he does offensively.
Speaker 11: Can you take us through the decisions, the conversations about
Speaker 11: why tonight is the night that he makes his Dodger
Speaker 11: pitching debut.
Speaker 14: Yeah, I mean, obviously, you know lot has been written
Speaker 14: in discussed about how we kind of got to this point.
Speaker 14: But going through this progression, there's been really good communication
Speaker 14: and talking through it. And after his live in San Diego,
Speaker 14: we had another live setup for today and talking to
Speaker 14: him over the weekend and just understanding more the fatiguing effect.
Speaker 14: It had to get up, get hot, throw three innings,
Speaker 14: four innings would have been tonight, go cool down and
Speaker 14: try to ramp back up. Just how taxing that is,
Speaker 14: and so in his opinion, he felt like he would
Speaker 14: be way better served to kind of finish his rehab
Speaker 14: process at the major league level being active and not
Speaker 14: having basically doubleheaders.
Speaker 11: So what are the expectations for you tonight and what
Speaker 11: will you be looking for?
Speaker 14: I mean, I think, you know, coming back from a
Speaker 14: lot of miss time on the mound, you know, I
Speaker 14: have no doubt this stuff will be there. Execution is
Speaker 14: something that takes guys a little time to get comfortable,
Speaker 14: repeat their delivery over and over with him. Who knows
Speaker 14: they could have it, you know.
Speaker 4: From the first pitch on.
Speaker 14: But it's just about us being patient, continuing to build
Speaker 14: up a foundation for him. Obviously, whatever you know, we're
Speaker 14: able to get to this year in terms of workload,
Speaker 14: hopefully he'll be a presence for us in October. But
Speaker 14: it's also about the longevity. He wants to do this
Speaker 14: for as long as he possibly can to. Setting a
Speaker 14: really strong foundation this year is important.
Speaker 11: There's been former players Hall of Fame caliber players that
Speaker 11: have voiced their opinion unsolicited that they believe this is
Speaker 11: a little bit of a risk to have him come
Speaker 11: back to pitch and he's doing so well as a hitter.
Speaker 11: What do you think about you know, these unsolicited opinions,
Speaker 11: and is that part of the equation in your mind
Speaker 11: leading up to this decision to allow show Hay to
Speaker 11: become a pitcher again.
Speaker 14: Yeah, I mean I think part of it is it's
Speaker 14: hard for the human brain to comprehend this.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, he's one.
Speaker 14: Of one in the modern era, and so a lot
Speaker 14: of guys weren't able or capable of doing it. It's
Speaker 14: hard to imagine. This is really important to him. And
Speaker 14: I don't blame him. We've talked about this a lot.
Speaker 14: I think he is incredibly underrated, which is amazing. I mean,
Speaker 14: just what he can do on both sides of the ball.
Speaker 14: You know, when he didn't win the MVP in twenty two,
Speaker 14: he finished fourth in the sy Young He is a
Speaker 14: really talented pitcher. Obviously a really talented hitter, but in
Speaker 14: twenty three when he was pitching, he was also really
Speaker 14: good in the batter's box, excellent in the batter's box,
Speaker 14: And so I just think it's too simple, people apply
Speaker 14: too much of Well, if I had to do both,
Speaker 14: i'd be exhausted or one would really suffer. I agree
Speaker 14: for most people, Yeah, show it is not most people.
Speaker 4: Yeah, no doubt.
Speaker 11: It seems like when the lights are the brightest and
Speaker 11: the expectations are the highest, he delivers. So I wouldn't
Speaker 11: be surprised tonight if he strikes out the side in order.
Speaker 14: Yeah, And I think for us just being thoughtful about this,
Speaker 14: and obviously we're all really excited about tonight, We'll get
Speaker 14: through tonight, figure out how he's recovering, where he's at,
Speaker 14: and just kind of keep taking steps towards it. We're
Speaker 14: not going to sprint to get there, and just make
Speaker 14: sure that his body is adapting and that the fatigue
Speaker 14: isn't affecting him offensively. And so you know, it's kind
Speaker 14: of serving two different purposes. One is to make sure
Speaker 14: that he has a good foundation to pitch for a
Speaker 14: long time. The other is to make sure that his
Speaker 14: body is adapting, feeling good, recovering well so that he
Speaker 14: can stay a productive force in the lineup as well.
Speaker 4: Around him with a great roster.
Speaker 11: How much do we have to appreciate the fact that
Speaker 11: you're able to do this. Otani's able to do this,
Speaker 11: to come in for one or two innings and build
Speaker 11: up in a game and have a guy like a
Speaker 11: bank Casparius or a jag Dryer to back him up.
Speaker 11: Would that be possible if you didn't have guys that
Speaker 11: were able.
Speaker 4: And be willing.
Speaker 14: Yeah, I mean, I think you nailed it. It's both.
Speaker 14: It's being able and willing. And we're very fortunate with
Speaker 14: a number of our homegrown guys who've gotten some opportunities.
Speaker 14: It's one of the silver linings and upsides of some
Speaker 14: of the injuries we suffered is guys being given opportunity
Speaker 14: and a number of them have really run with it.
Speaker 14: And watching Ben's development has been really fun. And his
Speaker 14: mindset is I'll do whatever it takes to help us win.
Speaker 14: I'm good with whatever, and so we actively are communicating
Speaker 14: with him, just trying to make sure that he's in
Speaker 14: good position. But his ability and willingness are off the charts.
Speaker 11: All right, Before I let you go, your kids are
Speaker 11: involved in you sports. So once this was announced yesterday
Speaker 11: that Otani was going to pitch tonight, how many ticket
Speaker 11: requests did you get?
Speaker 4: Andrew, I got quite a few.
Speaker 14: We were joking that we were going to set the
Speaker 14: Internet on fire when.
Speaker 4: This news came out.
Speaker 14: I stopped short of saying that my text messages were
Speaker 14: also going to catch on fire, but they did as well.
Speaker 11: Do you want to make a public announcement to stop
Speaker 11: texting you for tickets?
Speaker 14: You're tapped out, tapped out no more.
Speaker 4: All right, thanks a lot for stopping by.
Speaker 11: Appreciate the insight on everything that's gone into tonight being
Speaker 11: the night that Otani pitches.
Speaker 4: So thank you absolutely thanks for having me on there.

Speaker 7: of the last four seas, two and five of the
Speaker 7: four to twenty eight eer. His last start was against
Speaker 7: the Dodgers last Thursday in San Diego. Seven shutout Indians.
Speaker 7: But tonight is all about show. Hey Otani, the thirty
Speaker 7: year old right hander eight.
Speaker 1: Season the Big Leagues.
Speaker 7: He last pitched in a game on August twenty third,
Speaker 7: twenty twenty three, at the Big A and Anaheim.

Speaker 7: we head over to Steven Nelson Rick Monday.
Speaker 5: Guys, thank you for the handoff. Tim back here in
Speaker 5: the first row with Rick Monday. Mo, it is Shoheo
Speaker 5: Tani starting opening. I'm not going to get into the
Speaker 5: semantics of that against Dylan Cees for the San Diego
Speaker 5: Padres he shoved against the Dodgers when we saw him
Speaker 5: at Petco Park.
Speaker 2: What are a few things on your mind for this game? Well,
Speaker 2: the biggest thing is don't expand the strength zone. In
Speaker 2: that victory that Sees had down in San Diego went seven,
Speaker 2: Ennis did not allow a run, only three hints and
Speaker 2: while he did walk five, he had eleven punch outs.
Speaker 2: And the Dodgers just never did figure out a system
Speaker 2: as far as any cadence with Cease and they've got
Speaker 2: to tighten the belt. The other thing that Sees does
Speaker 2: very very well, very low banning average against him. He's
Speaker 2: only given up eight home runs and tonight making his
Speaker 2: fifteen start well.
Speaker 5: The Dodgers one of the best slider hitting teams in baseball,
Speaker 5: but still that did not prevent Cease from holding them
Speaker 5: to one for fourteen against that pitch the last.
Speaker 3: Time we saw him.
Speaker 5: One big key is that the Padres will not have
Speaker 5: Jackson Merrill in this series, or at least to start. He
Speaker 5: was placed on the seven day concussion.
Speaker 2: I l yeah, and that just took place on a Saturday,
Speaker 2: and that was on a slide into second base, So
Speaker 2: they're going to miss him. But they also called up
Speaker 2: a youngsters really been lights down Trenton Brooks, who's going
Speaker 2: to that lineup. Triple A, hit three eleven, also has
Speaker 2: some power, hit fourteen out of the ballpark.
Speaker 5: And at the same time they've gotten the real Fernando
Speaker 5: Tatispak it would seem as he has gotten going over
Speaker 5: the last few games. The Dodgers and Padres, it is
Speaker 5: always a battle. And now with a little bit extra show,
Speaker 5: Hey Otani in his pitching debut as a Dodger of
Speaker 5: the reigning MVP. Take it on the Padres. All right,
Speaker 5: first pitches.
Speaker 7: Next Dodgers and Padres show Hey Otani on the mound
Speaker 7: when we return.
Speaker 1: This has been.
