Speaker 1: Now your host walking you up to first pitch. It's
Speaker 1: Tim kas Hi.
Speaker 2: Everybody, Welcome in to Morongo Casino, Dodgers on Deck. Hope
Speaker 2: you're enjoying your Monday afternoon. You're a world champion. Los
Speaker 2: Angeles Dodgers nine to two on the season. After dropping
Speaker 2: two of three over the weekend in Philadelphia, the Dodgers
Speaker 2: continue their East Rose road trip in Washington, d C.
Speaker 2: For the start of a three game series against the Nationals.
Speaker 2: Dustin May on the mount of the series opener, first
Speaker 2: pitch coming up at three forty five. Coming up over
Speaker 2: the next hour plus here on Morono Casino Dodgers on Deck,
Speaker 2: we'll hear from the Dodger manager himself, Dave Roberts on
Speaker 2: what is been a busy day for the boys in Blue,
Speaker 2: going to the White House today to be honored for
Speaker 2: their twenty twenty four World Series championship, and now in
Speaker 2: our nation's capital starting a three game series against the Nationals.
Speaker 2: We'll dive deeper to this pitching matchup David Vasegos one
Speaker 2: on one with Michael Conforto. We've got your Dodgers magical moment.
Speaker 2: We've also got your price picks. Double play of the day. Shortly,
Speaker 2: we'll check in with Kirsen Watson live on the field
Speaker 2: at Nationals Park. In just a few minutes, we'll head
Speaker 2: out to the gallopin Motors Broadcast Booth with Tim Nefertt
Speaker 2: and Rick Monday. Well, the Dodgers split the first two
Speaker 2: games in Philadelphia, So yesterday the rubber game of the
Speaker 2: three game series at Citizens Bank Park, the Dodgers taken
Speaker 2: on the fight and fills and the Dodgers got off
Speaker 2: to a great start, so.
Speaker 3: Changing the pitching plan for the Dodgers. It is ty Oscar.
Speaker 3: It's said in the air to right and deep. It's
Speaker 3: carrying back toward the wall.
Speaker 4: It's gone.
Speaker 1: It's a home run.
Speaker 3: Taioscar Hernandez with a two out, two run homer, and
Speaker 3: the Dodgers jump on top two nothing all right, just
Speaker 3: enough backspin on it.
Speaker 2: It carried out over the right field wall.
Speaker 3: Casianos when he was going back, thought he had a
Speaker 3: bid to get to it, but it just kept on
Speaker 3: carrying over his head and Taioscar Hernandez has his third
Speaker 3: home run of the season.
Speaker 2: Ta Oscar a two run home run at the top
Speaker 2: of the first Just like that. Rogers add a two
Speaker 2: to nothing lead, but in the bottom of the third inning,
Speaker 2: things fell off for Tyler Glasnow, who walked the first
Speaker 2: three batters. He faced a blop single from Bryce Harper
Speaker 2: brought in a run, then he walked the bases loaded again.
Speaker 2: He would lead with nobody out in the third. The
Speaker 2: rain was bothering him mentally. He could not get over
Speaker 2: the conditions on the mound. Turned it over to Alex Vesia,
Speaker 2: who gave up a grand slam on the first pitch
Speaker 2: he threw to Nick Castianos. A six run third inning
Speaker 2: by the Phillies. They were up six to two, but
Speaker 2: the Dodgers chipped away. Ta Oscar a solo home run
Speaker 2: in the fourth made it six to three. Taoscar Hernandez
Speaker 2: an RBI double in the fifth made it six to four.
Speaker 2: Tay Oscar doing everything. In the seventh, somebody besides ta Oscar.
Speaker 2: It was Mookie Betts with an RBI double made it
Speaker 2: six to five, and then ta Oscar again with a
Speaker 2: sack fly tied six to six, and still the Dodgers
Speaker 2: weren't done. Up came Will Smith.
Speaker 3: Dodgers went up two nothing, went down six to two.
Speaker 3: Castianos for the third inning grands lamb and this one
Speaker 3: has hit high in the air to right field in
Speaker 3: deep Castiano's drifting back.
Speaker 1: He's at the wall and is off the wall. Bets
Speaker 1: will score.
Speaker 3: Dodgers will take the lead on a two out run
Speaker 3: scoring double for Will Smith. It is seven to six Dodgers.
Speaker 2: Will Smith giving the Dodgers a lead. They come all
Speaker 2: the way back from at six to deficit a three
Speaker 2: run seventh innian off the Phillies bullpen. Dodgers up seven
Speaker 2: to six going to the bottom of the seventh with
Speaker 2: Blake trinon on the mound. It started off with a
Speaker 2: misplay in center field from Andy Pajaz, a double for
Speaker 2: Bryce Harper, Then'll walk two batters later, RBI single a
Speaker 2: fielder's choice. Just like that, a seven to six Dodgers
Speaker 2: lead turned into an eight seven Phillies lead, and the
Speaker 2: Dodgers they'd go quietly in the eighth and ninth inning
Speaker 2: as the Phillies beat the Dodgers yesterday eight to seven.
Speaker 2: Blake trining against the loss. Taascar Hernandez three for three,
Speaker 2: a sackfly, an RBI double, two home runs five, but
Speaker 2: it wasn't enough. Dodgers dropped two of three in Philadelphia.
Speaker 2: They fall the nine and two on the year, and
Speaker 2: after visiting the White House today, they hope to come
Speaker 2: back with a win tonight at Nationals Parking. With more
Speaker 2: We head out to the Gallpit Motors Broadcast booth and
Speaker 2: say hello to Tim Neverett and Rick Monday. Guys, Tim,
Speaker 2: thank you very much.
Speaker 3: Overcast guys here in our nation's capital, temperatures are going
Speaker 3: to dip into the upper forties around game time. Are
Speaker 3: expecting a chili one here tonight in Washington, the first
Speaker 3: of three with the Nationals. The Dodgers have won eleven
Speaker 3: of the last thirteen against Washington, including four straight nine
Speaker 3: and two of the record for the Dodgers. The Nationals
Speaker 3: six and three, and they come off two straight wins
Speaker 3: by one run over the Arizona Diamondbacks. Dustin May gets
Speaker 3: the start for the Dodgers tonight. The right hand or
Speaker 3: No Decisions, hasn't given up an earn run this year.
Speaker 3: He'll face a former first round pick, Mackenzie Gore. Gore
Speaker 3: is zero to one. We left you with a two
Speaker 3: forty five earned run average all The Dodgers coming off
Speaker 3: their first series loss of the season, a hard fought
Speaker 3: series against Philadelphia, losing two out of three. Yesterday's game
Speaker 3: was certainly winnable at certain points, but it just goes
Speaker 3: to show you that in the game of baseball, one
Speaker 3: thing here, maybe another thing there can cost you a
Speaker 3: ball game.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and the Dodgers need to tighten things up. They
Speaker 5: did not play particularly well during the entire series, and
Speaker 5: I think series that's what ball clubs want to do.
Speaker 5: Go into a town, win the series. It'd be nice
Speaker 5: to be able to sweep. But if you win the
Speaker 5: series and you do it time after time after time,
Speaker 5: you're going to wind up on top of your division
Speaker 5: and go to postseason play. If you look at history
Speaker 5: of baseball, so the Dodgers start today percentage points behind
Speaker 5: the San Francisco Giants, so they're both in first place,
Speaker 5: and the Padres are hanging in. They're just a game
Speaker 5: or half a game out behind them. And for the Nationals,
Speaker 5: as you mentioned, they took that series against Arizona, they're
Speaker 5: trying to make a move. There are four games behind
Speaker 5: the Phillies in the Eastern Division. And if you look
Speaker 5: at the Nationals, you know they feel pretty good about
Speaker 5: a young ball club that has got some talent. They
Speaker 5: just have not been able to put it together consistently.
Speaker 3: Yeah, ball club. Couple of veterans though, and interesting to
Speaker 3: see Josh Bell back in their line. He has had
Speaker 3: quite a journey going from team to team to team
Speaker 3: and then back here in DC. The switch hitter. He's
Speaker 3: only hitting one thirty three though, but he's a power
Speaker 3: bat that certainly the Nationals are hoping that we'll have
Speaker 3: a turnaround season and a guy they're counting on.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and I think the Dodgers with that question, they'll
Speaker 5: be trying to get into the bullpen. Of the Nationals.
Speaker 5: You start to look at their bullpen, they've got a
Speaker 5: twenty two earned runs overall, so they're era out of
Speaker 5: the pen as they're coming in tonight almost six and
Speaker 5: a half runs. However, they have been better in the
Speaker 5: last seven games, so if you can get the bullpen,
Speaker 5: you got a pretty good chance. I think that's the
Speaker 5: success that most teams have anyway, if you can get
Speaker 5: to a bullpen early, better chance.
Speaker 3: Looking at Sho hal TONI will somebody in this series
Speaker 3: is going to pay. It's just it's a matter of numbers.
Speaker 3: Right now. He's not gone hitless in three straight games.
Speaker 3: He's over his last two games he's won for his
Speaker 3: last eleven, had only one hit in the Philadelphia series,
Speaker 3: struck out five times over the last three games, but
Speaker 3: he hasn't gone hitless in three straight games since last
Speaker 3: July twenty eight through the thirty first. It doesn't happen
Speaker 3: very often, and you gotta figure, Oh, Towney's going to
Speaker 3: come out of it here in DC.
Speaker 5: I was thinking about it last night actually on the
Speaker 5: train from Philadelphia here to Renation's Capital. I just in
Speaker 5: reflecting back on some of the advats that he had.
Speaker 5: I'm not certain he was picking the ball up out
Speaker 5: of the pitcher's hand as quickly or as well as
Speaker 5: he would like to have. And I say that because
Speaker 5: we don't see him late with a lot of swings,
Speaker 5: and they were moving the ball in on his hands,
Speaker 5: and he appeared to be late on more percentage of
Speaker 5: pitches than what I recall recently.
Speaker 3: Oh, expecting otwne to have a good night. He's leading
Speaker 3: off once again. He'll do that against McKenzie gore, who
Speaker 3: is zero to one. Dustin made no decisions. That's the
Speaker 3: pitching matchup. As we get you ready for Game one
Speaker 3: of this three game series in DC, Jim all right.
Speaker 2: Thank you guys as we count you down to first

Speaker 2: They were honored at sixteen hundred Pennsylvania Avenue at the
Speaker 2: White House.
Speaker 6: They sure were like, this is something that all of
Speaker 6: the teams that win championships they get to go to
Speaker 6: the White House to celebrate that season the success that
Speaker 6: they've had, and so today the Dodgers had to do
Speaker 6: just that, and they said it was a really special one.
Speaker 6: The last time they went in twenty twenty one, celebrating
Speaker 6: the twenty twenty season with President Biden, things were just
Speaker 6: a little bit different. Due to the Stilton COVID protocols
Speaker 6: out were in place. So today there were a lot
Speaker 6: of people at the press conference and at the meeting
Speaker 6: with President Trump, and it was a really special just
Speaker 6: Clayton Kersha had a really beautiful teach recognized with the
Speaker 6: twenty twenty fourteen the selflessness of that group and how
Speaker 6: they went out there and competed together and competed through
Speaker 6: injuries and different adversity. So he really broke down just
Speaker 6: kind of what it was like witnessing the twenty twenty
Speaker 6: four playoff run the World Series win from his perspective,
Speaker 6: and I thought that was really beautiful. And then they
Speaker 6: actually had to go into the Oval office, which is awesome.
Speaker 6: If you like watch all the different TV shows, Scandal
Speaker 6: things like that, it's pretty amazing to get to go
Speaker 6: into the Ohole office.
Speaker 2: I must say, Yeah, that is very cool. And they
Speaker 2: got to get ready and they had game tonight, the
Speaker 2: start of a three game series against the Washington Nationals.
Speaker 2: The lineup a little different with Mackenzie Gore the left
Speaker 2: hander out there, so no Andy Pa has in.
Speaker 6: The line of though yep, no Andy Pa has, So
Speaker 6: they've got Chris Taylor and left field, Tommy, I've been
Speaker 6: playing in center and Dave Roberts, when he was asked,
Speaker 6: is kind of why know Andy out there? He said
Speaker 6: he just wanted to give him a breather today, a
Speaker 6: day to have a mental and physical reset.
Speaker 1: Andy.
Speaker 6: It's been a tough start to the season for him,
Speaker 6: whether yes, we got the hit and yesterday's game, but
Speaker 6: just offensively things have been a little bit of a struggle.
Speaker 6: We've seen a few whether it's space running, defensive mid that,
Speaker 6: so giving him the day to just watch some baseball,
Speaker 6: to watch his teammates out there. Dave Roberts said that
Speaker 6: he expects Andy t back out there in center fields tomorrow,
Speaker 6: but just hoping that the young player, and you don't
Speaker 6: want these things to build up over time kind of
Speaker 6: mess with your confidence things like that. It's clear that
Speaker 6: after the game yesterday Andy was frustrated and was showing
Speaker 6: just kind of looking dejected here on the bench after
Speaker 6: the loss, and so allowing him some time just to
Speaker 6: have a mental reset to be ready to go tomorrow tonight.
Speaker 2: Dustin May on the Mount a little code read on
Speaker 2: the road.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and he's coming off of just his return to
Speaker 6: the big league mount and his laugh outings the start
Speaker 6: of the season, and he told us after the game
Speaker 6: that it just was a huge release, just like a
Speaker 6: weight lifted off of his shoulder. To finally be back
Speaker 6: out there. He felt really good. He's loved seeing how
Speaker 6: his stuff played just back at this level. So he's
Speaker 6: been in a really good spot that coaches and have
Speaker 6: been speaking so highly of him. And yes, he's got
Speaker 6: the big bloss these big stuff, but the movement he
Speaker 6: has in the ball, that command he has right now,
Speaker 6: that's what's been most impressive. So the hope is that
Speaker 6: he can continue that tonight because he has been off
Speaker 6: to a fantastic start and they're hoping to see him
Speaker 6: keep that going.
Speaker 2: Well, let's hope the Dodgers can get back on the
Speaker 2: winning track tonight there in our nation's capitol. Kearsta, we
Speaker 2: appreciate it. We'll check you with you after the game.

Speaker 7: For Dave.
Speaker 8: Dave, can you just describe Dave?
Speaker 1: Can you talk about the pressure in the dugouts with
Speaker 1: Dave Robbers?
Speaker 9: It was really special. Everyone was there outside of Freddie
Speaker 9: who's back home nursing his ankle. But I hope we
Speaker 9: get to do it again next year and go to
Speaker 9: the White House and celebrate a previous championship. So yeah,
Speaker 9: it was great. The President was very generous with his time,
Speaker 9: and as I'm sure you guys heard, we had an
Speaker 9: opportunity to go to the Oval Office as well, and
Speaker 9: that's just something that you know, the only dream of
Speaker 9: an opportunity to go to the White House.
Speaker 6: Was that your first time ever going into the Oval Office?
Speaker 6: And are you whether it's TV shows and kind of
Speaker 6: shows that have the experience of being in that and
Speaker 6: was that just a cool experience for you?
Speaker 9: It really was. It was my first time. I think
Speaker 9: a couple of the guys have done it before, but
Speaker 9: it was my first time and actually got a chance
Speaker 9: to see a pit make sure take a photo in
Speaker 9: front of the Declaration of Independence. So for myself, who's
Speaker 9: a history major, that was That's a picture. I'm a
Speaker 9: cherish for a long time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Dave Roberts and I'm both history majors from UCLA.
Speaker 2: How about that? Love that all right? That is Dave
Speaker 2: Roberts down the dugout, certainly talking about the excitement of
Speaker 2: earlier today going to the White House and being honored
Speaker 2: for their twenty twenty four World Series. When we continue
Speaker 2: here on Dodgers on Deck, we'll check in with David Bassay.
Speaker 2: He was there lead you at the first pitch Dodgers
Speaker 2: and Nationals first pitch of three forty five. I'm Tim
Speaker 2: Kasey's world champion Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 1: This is Marongo Casino, Dodgers on Deck on your home
Speaker 1: for the Blue all season long.
Speaker 2: It's the Dodgers and Nationals on this Monday. Dustin May
Speaker 2: mackenzie core the pitching matchup in this series opener, first
Speaker 2: pitch coming up at three forty five.
Speaker 1: Joining Tim Kats on Dodgers on Deck.
Speaker 4: I accept everybody for who they are.
Speaker 1: This is Dodger insider David Bassi or DV going to.
Speaker 2: The White House on any occasion, no matter who's president
Speaker 2: or not, it's a special thing. The Dodgers went there
Speaker 2: today and a very cool you got to go as well, DV.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 4: First for me, Tim, because back in twenty twenty one
Speaker 4: when the Dodgers visited the White House and President Biden,
Speaker 4: I was not traveling with the team. If you remember,
Speaker 4: the country in the world was still coming out of COVID.
Speaker 4: I only started traveling with the team full time again
Speaker 4: in twenty twenty two after missing twenty and twenty one.
Speaker 4: But nonetheless, it was a great surreal experience just to
Speaker 4: see how you know, the media works on a day
Speaker 4: to day basis at the White House, to see the
Speaker 4: briefing room and how small it is On television it
Speaker 4: looks so much bigger and it's not. In fact, even
Speaker 4: Dodger players I got to go into the Oval office
Speaker 4: said that even is a lot smaller than it appears
Speaker 4: on TV. So really really cool experience for everybody. And
Speaker 4: even though I was not included with the team and
Speaker 4: the players, to go inside the rope, to be in
Speaker 4: the East Room, to be in the briefing room, to
Speaker 4: be on the grounds of the White House, you feel
Speaker 4: the enormity and the history of being there.
Speaker 8: That is very cool.
Speaker 2: David Trivan by fourth, There's one thing we like, its choices.
Speaker 2: Find yours of the four f one to fifty gas
Speaker 2: hybrid all electric tough. This march could only be called
Speaker 2: f one fifty. Clayton Kershaw, he spoke today at the
Speaker 2: White House day. But there's more Kershaw news.
Speaker 4: Yeah, a little baseball news for Clayton Kershaw who showed up.
Speaker 4: And by the way, tim as he spoke for the Dodgers,
Speaker 4: it was not supposed to be Kershaw. Originally, Freddie Freeman,
Speaker 4: the World Series MVP, was originally the player that was
Speaker 4: going to speak on behalf of the team. But as
Speaker 4: we know, Freddie unfortunately is not here. He's back on
Speaker 4: the injured list in LA with his bad right ankles.
Speaker 4: So Kershaw obviously the next obvious choice, and he did
Speaker 4: a great job. And something else about the White House
Speaker 4: I should mention Max Months. He told me he does
Speaker 4: not know how they do it, but the Oval office
Speaker 4: is the best smelling room he has ever been in.
Speaker 4: He's not sure how they do it, but he said
Speaker 4: it is smelling really good in there. Anyway, back to Kershaw,
Speaker 4: he was throwing a bullpen session after he went from
Speaker 4: his suit to uniform, and we all want to know
Speaker 4: what's the timeline, what's next? When's he coming back?
Speaker 10: Yeah, through another bullp in today. I'm pretty sure I'm
Speaker 10: gonna go and face some hitters on Thursday in Arizona.
Speaker 10: You know I did that last Thursday, face through two innings,
Speaker 10: so I'm kind of just gonna keep on that schedule.
Speaker 10: It's it's kind of a weird needle to thread because
Speaker 10: physically my arm is ready to go. You know, I'm ready,
Speaker 10: but my toe isn't all the way there yet. So
Speaker 10: it's just like, whenever my toe finally is strong enough
Speaker 10: to be out there, I want to be ready. So
Speaker 10: it's just kind of threading that needle as best I can.
Speaker 10: It's obviously a unique injury for pitching, unique injury for baseball,
Speaker 10: so there's not.
Speaker 8: A whole lot of precedent with it. So we're just.
Speaker 10: Kind of where whenever my toe is ready to go,
Speaker 10: I'll be ready to go.
Speaker 4: So last Thursday, kurshat through two innings to hitters in Arizona.
Speaker 4: He's going to do that again this week, and then
Speaker 4: from there he's probably going to have to go out
Speaker 4: on a rehab assignment once he's able to generate the
Speaker 4: velocity and feel good with that toe that he had
Speaker 4: surgery on. It's his left toe, so it's his push
Speaker 4: off leg right there. So that's where things stand with Kershaw.
Speaker 8: All Right.
Speaker 2: What's going on with Blake Snell in his shoulder, David.
Speaker 4: It's been bothering him for three weeks, he said, and
Speaker 4: he hopes that he's only going to have to miss
Speaker 4: two weeks sick, which means he's going to miss two starts.
Speaker 4: So it's unfortunate, but Blake Snell is not known as
Speaker 4: being a first half pitcher. He eases his way into
Speaker 4: the season, not intentionally, but he also understands it's a marathon,
Speaker 4: not a sprint. So don't worry Tim. When it counts,
Speaker 4: Blake Snell will be there.
Speaker 2: Can't wait for the next Snell Villa day, David, all right,
Speaker 2: speaking of pitching with him out, What are the Dodgers
Speaker 2: plans tomorrow in the second game of this series and
Speaker 2: what's happening on Wednesday in the finale?
Speaker 4: A lot of options. As you know, the Dodgers are
Speaker 4: not only deep on their twenty six man roster, but
Speaker 4: their forty man roster, a lot of teams, including the Nationals,
Speaker 4: probably could have all five Dodgers starters at Oklahoma City
Speaker 4: in their Major League rotation. I'm talking Landon Nack, Bobby Miller,
Speaker 4: Justin Robleski, just to name a few. But it will
Speaker 4: be Justin Robleski making the start tomorrow simply because it's
Speaker 4: his scheduled day to start. So out of all the starters,
Speaker 4: a lot of good options, but since it is his
Speaker 4: start date, the Dodgers thought it would be best to
Speaker 4: have Robleski start tomorrow. He had a great spring. He
Speaker 4: looked much better than he did a year ago, much
Speaker 4: improved with a third pitch, with that curveball, He's hiding
Speaker 4: the baseball a lot better than he did last year.
Speaker 4: And on Wednesday, Landon Nack, who joined the Dodgers at
Speaker 4: the White House, is in the mix to make the
Speaker 4: start for the Dodgers on Wednesday in the finale of
Speaker 4: this East Coast road trip. Right, So, a lot of
Speaker 4: options and a lot of pitching.
Speaker 2: Yeah, a lot of options. That's a good thing for
Speaker 2: the Dodgers as supposed to last October. Thank you, Dvble.
Speaker 2: Check back in with you be able to go one
Speaker 2: on one with Michael Conafordo coming up in about ten minutes.
Speaker 2: We'll dive deeper to this pitching matchup, but up next,

Speaker 1: Joined by David Bass saying, here's La Dodgers broadcaster and
Speaker 1: World Series champion Dodger Rick Monday.
Speaker 4: Rick, hopefully your nose doesn't bleed, because this is one
Speaker 4: of the highest perches you and Tim Neverett will see
Speaker 4: in Major League Baseball.
Speaker 5: We're fine, we brought oxygen with us. Yeah we can. Yeah.
Speaker 5: From this view, we can only see the field. You
Speaker 5: can see a curvature of the earth.
Speaker 4: Yeah, no doubt, no doubt.
Speaker 5: I joke we're not that far from Reagan International Airport. Okay, fine.
Speaker 5: I joke from time to time that the landing pattern
Speaker 5: if a plane flies by, we can actually see what's
Speaker 5: on the tray table in front of any of the
Speaker 5: passengers on the plane. You know.
Speaker 4: Speaking of the view, we're seeing apartment buildings now beyond
Speaker 4: center field. We used to be able to see the
Speaker 4: Capitol building.
Speaker 5: Come over on this side. On this side of the boat,
Speaker 5: you can just see the top the dome of the
Speaker 5: Capitol building.
Speaker 4: That's like my view at the White House earlier today, Rick,
Speaker 4: I feel like there's a trend.
Speaker 5: Yeah, might be telling you something. At least you had
Speaker 5: a view of it.
Speaker 4: Hey, today the conditions, the conditions are similar to yesterday
Speaker 4: in Philadelphia. But I have a feeling Dustin May is
Speaker 4: not going to let it affect him.
Speaker 5: No, it won't one thing about it. He got excited
Speaker 5: in the outing that had last Tuesday at Doctors Stadhuim
Speaker 5: against the Atlanta Brays. It's fun to watch him, and
Speaker 5: he's not celebrating on the mount. He's just enjoying the
Speaker 5: moment when things go right with his stuff. And here's
Speaker 5: the technical term stuff. Right, we're talking about the pitches
Speaker 5: that he throws. It's nasty. In fact, we had a
Speaker 5: couple of broadcasters from the nationals coming in and talking
Speaker 5: about his stuff and how good it is and how
Speaker 5: effective it can be and hopefully just relax and trust
Speaker 5: your stuff. We say that a lot about young pitchers
Speaker 5: in particular, and I think you can also underline that
Speaker 5: with a guy that has gone through so much as
Speaker 5: he has if you look at the last year, year
Speaker 5: and a half physically.
Speaker 4: Rick today, Dave Roberts said he wanted to give Andy
Speaker 4: Paes a breather. He's kind of trending underwater right now,
Speaker 4: especially defensively. How does he get better as a center fielder.
Speaker 5: Well, the only way you're going to do it is
Speaker 5: to pay attention and to play. It's not just defensively.
Speaker 5: He's not run the bases well at all. The Dodgers,
Speaker 5: in fact, if you look at last couple of series
Speaker 5: they've had games, they have not run the bases collectively
Speaker 5: very well at all, and they made some mistakes. They'd
Speaker 5: have to clean that up. But for young player, the
Speaker 5: realization and sometimes to sit down and watch how the
Speaker 5: game is played. He took a horrible route on the
Speaker 5: ball that was hit the center field, and yesterday's ball
Speaker 5: game he's not again, not run the bases particularly well.
Speaker 5: There's growing pains with young players. The question is how
Speaker 5: fast they learn and then apply it.
Speaker 4: And also Chris Taylor gets a rare start, only his
Speaker 4: second of the season. If he's on this roster, he's
Speaker 4: got to play.
Speaker 5: Absolutely, And for Dave Roberts understands that the only way
Speaker 5: the guy is going to come out of a slump.
Speaker 5: You can't come out of a slump on the bench,
Speaker 5: So you get him in there. Because this is a long,
Speaker 5: long season. We talked about it so many different times.
Speaker 5: There are going to be injuries, and tonight it's against
Speaker 5: the left handed pitchers, so you get the right headed
Speaker 5: bat of Taylor in there, the right headed bat of
Speaker 5: Miguel Rojas and second base. They move Edmund the switch
Speaker 5: hitters in center field. This is twenty six players, and
Speaker 5: he can't just go with the same nine eight position
Speaker 5: players every night. And you've got to get those other
Speaker 5: guys into the mix. They've got to get at bats,
Speaker 5: they've got to be on the field, they've got to play.
Speaker 5: That's why they're on the major league roster.
Speaker 4: And I know Chris Taylor is low hanging fruit for
Speaker 4: those that want to criticize easy pickings.
Speaker 5: But one thing about it, he plays hard. Chris Taylor
Speaker 5: is one of those players that I evaluate players that
Speaker 5: coming in. If you come into a ballgame of the
Speaker 5: Sammonth any you've not seen the first six innings right
Speaker 5: looking at Chris Taylor, you can't tell if he's zero
Speaker 5: for four or four for four. He plays the game
Speaker 5: as hard as anybody that's on that field. That much
Speaker 5: I give him, And again, the only way he's going
Speaker 5: to come out of it is he get the experience
Speaker 5: in playing. One quick addition, I've already seen a change
Speaker 5: in his batting stance from what we saw in spring trending,
Speaker 5: which was different than last year, and he's gone somewhere between.
Speaker 5: Now what we saw is bring training and comparison to
Speaker 5: last year, he's moved the bat a little bit differently.
Speaker 5: The movement's a little bit different. Now he's got to
Speaker 5: trust it and make contact.
Speaker 4: Do you believe he's quicker to the ball, shorter to
Speaker 4: the ball as.
Speaker 5: I don't know yet because I just noticed that the
Speaker 5: last a couple of the bats that he has, and
Speaker 5: I don't know if he's in that transition to where
Speaker 5: it's no longer you have to get to the point, David,
Speaker 5: very quickly, where it's no longer thinking about, well, where's
Speaker 5: my elbow? Is my elbow up? Where's the angle of
Speaker 5: the bat in my hands? Until it gets to the
Speaker 5: point where it's natural and you don't have to go
Speaker 5: through that process. It's still in a period of adjustment.
Speaker 5: I don't know if he's there yet.
Speaker 4: All Right, Rick, thanks a lot. We'll listen out tonight
Speaker 4: to hear what you think of Chris Taylor's new version.
Speaker 4: We'll send it back to you in the studio.
Speaker 2: Tim, all right, thanks a lot, DV, Thank you, Moe.

Speaker 2: It's an engagement of endearment.
Speaker 1: This is high and tight.
Speaker 4: Well, the Dodgers remain on the East coast here in Washington,
Speaker 4: d C. And I'm joined right now by one of
Speaker 4: my favorites because he's Italian. I'm Italian, and we need
Speaker 4: more Italians on the Dodgers. And that is the one
Speaker 4: and only Michael CONFORDO. Michael, thanks a lot for the time.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I agree, we need more Italians on the team for.
Speaker 4: Sure, no doubt, no doubt.
Speaker 1: Hey, how Italian?
Speaker 4: Are you though, That's what I want to know.
Speaker 7: Uh So, my dad's one hundred percent, which makes me fifty.
Speaker 7: You know, most of my family is back in Pennsylvania,
Speaker 7: so I had some family out there in Philly, and uh.
Speaker 8: So, my dad grew up in Altoona.
Speaker 7: My grandma has six sisters, so I have like sixty
Speaker 7: cousins out there, and they're all pretty much still around Altuna,
Speaker 7: and uh you know, we go back every every so often,
Speaker 7: but it's it's one big Italian celebration, you know, for
Speaker 7: family reunions and weddings and all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 7: So we ended up in Seattle, away from most of
Speaker 7: most of the family. So you know, I'd probably be
Speaker 7: a little bit more Italian if I stayed in Altuna.
Speaker 4: But hey, you got sixty cousins, that's legit right there.
Speaker 4: That's when I know you're Italian.
Speaker 7: Yeah, exactly, a big, big family.
Speaker 8: It's always good to go back there and see family.
Speaker 4: Michael Conforto is our guest in front of first Pitch. Now,
Speaker 4: I gotta ask you, all that Italian blood in you
Speaker 4: and all that family, what do you love the most
Speaker 4: about the food of Italy?
Speaker 7: Honestly, there's there's not really any kind of Italian food
Speaker 7: that I don't like.
Speaker 8: It's my favorite food.
Speaker 7: My grandma always did, you know, a big Sunday gravy,
Speaker 7: you know, she she wouldn't call it gravy, but you know,
Speaker 7: like a Sunday red sauce with you know, she'd like
Speaker 7: the meatballs, the sausage, pepperoni.
Speaker 8: Let it all cook, you know, in the.
Speaker 7: On the stove multiple times, you know, so the sauce
Speaker 7: kind of soaks up all that flavor, and the meat
Speaker 7: soaks up all the flavor of the sauce. You know
Speaker 7: that that's our That's our Christmas celebration, our Easter celebration.
Speaker 7: It's been a while since I've been able to have
Speaker 7: it from her, but I've learned to make it. I
Speaker 7: try my best to make it, and it's never like hers,
Speaker 7: but it's, uh, it just reminds me of home.
Speaker 4: Hey, good for you for trying that. Michael Conforto is
Speaker 4: our guest. I know it's only eleven games into the season,
Speaker 4: but it feels like as a group, as an offensive unit,
Speaker 4: it feels like you guys are starting to find that chemistry.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think so, you know, I think it.
Speaker 7: You know, we just have a lot of really good players,
Speaker 7: guys who know who they are, and you know, it's
Speaker 7: it's it's it's just a matter of all of us
Speaker 7: kind of getting our timing and and uh and you know,
Speaker 7: just starting to.
Speaker 8: Just kind of feel free up there.
Speaker 7: And I think it's kind of one of those things
Speaker 7: that cream is always going to rise to the top,
Speaker 7: you know, when you've got guys like Mookie and Freddie
Speaker 7: and Will Smith and Show Hey and Tay Oscar and
Speaker 7: you know, you.
Speaker 8: Can just go on and on down the lineup. You
Speaker 8: know we're gonna score some runs.
Speaker 7: We just have to you know, I think just some
Speaker 7: of the little things we just have to make sure
Speaker 7: we don't lose sight of, and and we'll be pretty
Speaker 7: hard to beat.
Speaker 4: I remember in spring training you were in the cage
Speaker 4: and Dave Roberts was behind you and he was shouting
Speaker 4: out situations that you might see in a game. Is
Speaker 4: that kind of what the identity of this offense needs
Speaker 4: to be to reach its potential, to be able in
Speaker 4: situations that aren't ideal, to come through two strikes, two outs,
Speaker 4: and you've done it so far.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, absolutely, I mean, I think you know, take
Speaker 7: taking that next step is kind of in the margins
Speaker 7: where you know, the odds aren't in your favor. You know,
Speaker 7: with two strikes it's hard to hit, but to be
Speaker 7: able to come through in those situations is big, and
Speaker 7: so you know, I think that's why Doc likes to
Speaker 7: do that. He you know, he wants it to be hard.
Speaker 7: He wants you to be uncomfortable. And you know, we
Speaker 7: train those things, so you know, we really want to,
Speaker 7: you know, take advantage of every advantage, you know, every
Speaker 7: every little thing that we can and and just try
Speaker 7: to keep getting better every day.
Speaker 4: Is that one of the biggest ways to succeed.
Speaker 8: Have a plan?
Speaker 7: Yeah, absolutely, I think understanding the situation, you know, what
Speaker 7: you're walking into. You know, is it a guy on
Speaker 7: second base with with less than two outs, you know,
Speaker 7: or or with nobody out that you you know, the
Speaker 7: biggest priorities to get him over, you know, Or are
Speaker 7: you in a situation where you're able to swing free
Speaker 7: and try to slug you know when you you know,
Speaker 7: maybe in.
Speaker 8: You're at bat, the plan changes.
Speaker 7: You're you're looking to slug, and then later in the
Speaker 7: at bat you're looking to you know, do a job
Speaker 7: and move a guy over or be a tough out,
Speaker 7: try to drive the pitch count up. You know, there's
Speaker 7: a lot of things. I think you just have to
Speaker 7: understand the situation. I think our hitting coaches do a
Speaker 7: great job of just making sure that we're aware of,
Speaker 7: you know, what the plan is and what we want
Speaker 7: to do in each situation.
Speaker 4: Are you a big believer in the guy hitting in
Speaker 4: front of you and you hitting in front of the
Speaker 4: person behind you that affects the pitches that you may
Speaker 4: see and also who may be on base. Are you
Speaker 4: a believer that even in this day and age of baseball,
Speaker 4: that remains true.
Speaker 7: I think there's definitely situations that that that comes up.
Speaker 7: I don't know if it's every you know, every single
Speaker 7: time you go through the lineup, but I think you know,
Speaker 7: on a high leverage spot where you know, they see
Speaker 7: show Hayes up fourth and they really don't want him
Speaker 7: to come to play with somebody on base, you know,
Speaker 7: it may change the way that they're going to attack
Speaker 7: the hitters, maybe a little bit more aggressive, you know,
Speaker 7: not wanting to walk anybody, you know, and just attacking
Speaker 7: the zone. But you know, that's just one example of
Speaker 7: how things can change. And I think there are a
Speaker 7: lot of just like you know, they the pictures and
Speaker 7: our pictures.
Speaker 8: They have a plan for each guy.
Speaker 7: You know, they know, you know, the catchers and the
Speaker 7: pictures are going to try to exploit, you know, whatever
Speaker 7: weakness that you have. So there's that, and then there's also,
Speaker 7: you know, the game within the game of you know,
Speaker 7: they see who's coming up down the line and who
Speaker 7: they feel like is a better matchup, you know, in
Speaker 7: each situation. So I think it's there's just a lot
Speaker 7: of things at play. I think that still holds true,
Speaker 7: but not always.
Speaker 4: You know, Yeah, you mentioned Otani, You've heard about him,
Speaker 4: you know about him, but now your teammates with him,
Speaker 4: is there anything that surprises you or is now that
Speaker 4: you're behind the curtain on the same side, what have
Speaker 4: you learned about how he's able to be as great
Speaker 4: as he is.
Speaker 7: I never got to see how he worked. He works
Speaker 7: his ass off. He you know, when he trains, he
Speaker 7: trains to swing hard, trains speed that speed. Obviously there's
Speaker 7: technique in there, but like when he's in the cage,
Speaker 7: it's it's loud and it's impressive how hard the ball
Speaker 7: comes off, and it's every day, So that that was
Speaker 7: awesome to see, not that I wasn't expecting it. It's
Speaker 7: just impressive to see in person. And you sometimes you
Speaker 7: like to sit down and watch. You don't like to
Speaker 7: necessarily get in the cage after him after he puts
Speaker 7: on that show. But aside from that, he's just he's
Speaker 7: a normal guy. He's he's got a great sense of humor,
Speaker 7: and he's goofy, likes to mess around, and you know,
Speaker 7: I think that's why. You see how his teammates react
Speaker 7: to him doing things, and you know, he always seems
Speaker 7: to come through in a big moment.
Speaker 8: So that's great.
Speaker 4: Hey, Michael Conforto's fun to watch too, sit to hit.
Speaker 4: That's what I think about when I see Confordo in
Speaker 4: that batter's box from the last left side. Thanks a
Speaker 4: lot for the time. Always great catching up with you
Speaker 4: and man LA's love and Michael Conforto, I love.
Speaker 8: The sound of that. That's great.
Speaker 7: Hope, I hope they enjoy. This is gonna be a
Speaker 7: fun team to watch for sure.
Speaker 4: There he goes Dodger left fielder and a proud Italian
Speaker 4: American Michael Conforto. Michael receives a pair of Canaan sunglasses.
Speaker 4: The world's best polarized sunglasses out there. Canaan's lenses are clear,
Speaker 4: lighter and stronger than other lenses, and are nearly impossible

Speaker 1: This is Marongo Casino Dodgers on tap on your home
Speaker 1: for the Blue All Season log.
Speaker 2: It's the Dodgers and national start up a three game set.
Speaker 2: Visit to the White House today on the ballfield tonight
Speaker 2: first pitch of three forty.
Speaker 1: Five and now before the Dodgers hit the Dineck, we
Speaker 1: look at the pitching matchup.
Speaker 2: Forreshent about your Southern California Toyota dealers work hard and
Speaker 2: play hard at a New Tacoma with an I Force
Speaker 2: turbo charge engine. It's a truck built for the ball.
Speaker 2: See your Toyota dealer today. They make it easy. McKenzie
Speaker 2: gore one or ohe on one with a two to
Speaker 2: forty five ERA, twenty six year old left hander. Former
Speaker 2: first round pick of the Padres at twenty seventeen, he
Speaker 2: was then traded in the one Soto deal. He's emerged
Speaker 2: as one of the top left handed arms in the
Speaker 2: National League since twenty twenty three tops and strikeouts top ten.
Speaker 2: That is second in strikeouts per nine innings. Making his
Speaker 2: third start this season, win six shutout innings against the Phillies,
Speaker 2: then five innings, three runs, nine hits, five strikeouts at
Speaker 2: a no decision against the Blue Jays. He is zero
Speaker 2: to one with a three forty five r RA in
Speaker 2: three career starts against the Dodgers. He faced them once
Speaker 2: last year. He allowed one in and run on seven
Speaker 2: hits while striking out four and six innings. Back on
Speaker 2: April twenty fifth at Nationals Park, dust In May code
Speaker 2: red on the mound for the Dodgers. Twenty seven year
Speaker 2: old right hander back in healthy in twenty twenty five
Speaker 2: after battling injuries the last year and a half. Making
Speaker 2: his second start here in twenty twenty five last time
Speaker 2: out five innings, one run, one hit, six strikeouts in
Speaker 2: a no decision against the Braves. It was his first
Speaker 2: start since May seventeenth of twenty twenty three. Today his
Speaker 2: first time ever, getting a start against the Washington Nationals.
Speaker 2: Dustin May McKenzie gore, Dodgers Nationals. We're fifteen minutes away
Speaker 2: for first pitch. Keys to the game are next? I
Speaker 2: Tim kase is the world champion Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 1: As we were saying, yes, is Marongo Casino Dodgers on
Speaker 1: tack on the official home of La Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 2: It's the Dodgers in national startum in three games set. Dodgers,
Speaker 2: fresh off losing two to three in Philadelphia, looking to
Speaker 2: turn things around. Dustin May McKenzie gore the pitching matchup
Speaker 2: first pitch at three forty five. Before that let's head
Speaker 2: back out to the booth. Tim Neverrick Monday.
Speaker 3: Guys, Tim, thanks again, we're getting you ready for the
Speaker 3: start of this one here at Nationals Park. Overcast sky
Speaker 3: is gonna be a little chilly here in the weather,
Speaker 3: a little dicey in this area for the next day
Speaker 3: or so. Dustin May gets the start. Dustin making his
Speaker 3: second start, first start, very good. Five innings against the Braves.
Speaker 3: Allowed one run, it was unearned, only one hit and
Speaker 3: lefties couldn't touch him. So Dustin May has a sweeper
Speaker 3: added to his arsenal to go along with the slider
Speaker 3: and the two seam fastball, which just continues to baffle
Speaker 3: opposing hitters.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and talking to a couple of coaches that outing
Speaker 5: that he had you're referring to on Tuesday against the
Speaker 5: Atlanta Braves, they think that was a huge stepping stone
Speaker 5: because he was able to stretch his wings, kind of
Speaker 5: feel his way back into the game itself. Did not
Speaker 5: allow the urn run and just the three walks, but
Speaker 5: you start to look at the command of the fast
Speaker 5: bolt and then the slider and the reaction to some
Speaker 5: of the hitters. I mean, they were absolutely surprised by
Speaker 5: some of the pitches that the big right hander delivered.
Speaker 3: M Kenzie Gore going for the Nationals his third start now,
Speaker 3: his first start on opening Day was something else. He
Speaker 3: got a no decision in his very first start of
Speaker 3: the season where he struck out thirteen, but his last
Speaker 3: start he lost to Toronto, So he's been kind of
Speaker 3: up and down on his first two starts.
Speaker 5: He's been up and down. The Dodgers have seen him
Speaker 5: read different starts in the past, so they've got a
Speaker 5: pretty good idea on what he's going to be throwing.
Speaker 5: One area that that Gore has really improved upon stolen bases.
Speaker 5: You know, you look at two years ago he gave
Speaker 5: a twenty six out of twenty eight attempts. Last year
Speaker 5: did a much better job in that area, and so
Speaker 5: far this season he's kind of held it down as well.
Speaker 5: Speaking of stolen bases, watch out for the Nationals because
Speaker 5: they have some guys who are going to probably run
Speaker 5: and for Dave Martinez, their manager, he likes an offense
Speaker 5: that puts runners in motion.
Speaker 3: Speaking of offense, to Oscar Hernandez, second in the National
Speaker 3: League currently and runs batted in. After his five RBI
Speaker 3: day yesterday in Philadelphia, he has thirteen on the season.
Speaker 3: He's trailing only the Cubs Kyle Tucker, who has fourteen.
Speaker 3: They Oscar batting in the cleanup spot tonight, so Mackenzie
Speaker 3: Gore and Dustin May the pitching matchup. It's the Dodgers
Speaker 3: at nine to two, taking on the three and six
Speaker 3: Washington Nationals.
Speaker 2: Temp all right, Dodgers starting this three game set in
Speaker 2: our nation's capital. Dodgers line up looking a little different
Speaker 2: than it did over the weekend. You got a leftander
Speaker 2: on the mound that it helps, but Showy Otani leading off,
Speaker 2: Mookie Bets batting second, and Will Smith doing the catching.
Speaker 2: But Kekey Hernandez at first base, Miguel Rojas at second base. Today,
Speaker 2: No Michael Conforto, David Vassai's guest on high and tight
Speaker 2: Chris Taylor, who needs to start getting at bats. As
