Speaker 2: Giants in the NL West tonight though Clayton Kershaw on

Speaker 2: at seven to ten. Coming up over the next hour
Speaker 2: here on Marongo Casino, Dodgers on Deck, you're gonna hear
Speaker 2: from the manager himself, Dave Roberts. It's Saturday, so that
Speaker 2: means it's Snell Zilla Day. Yes, Blake Snell goes one
Speaker 2: on one with David Vaz, say, we got your Dodgers
Speaker 2: magical moment. Shortly, we'll visit with Kirsten Watson from Sports
Speaker 2: and at La DV course checks in throughout the show,
Speaker 2: and it's just a few minutes. We'll hear from Tim
Speaker 2: Neberty and Rick Monday out at the Galpin Motors broadcast booth. Well,
Speaker 2: last night, Yoshinobu Yabomoto got the start, and it wasn't
Speaker 2: his best. He pitched into the fifth inning, but gave
Speaker 2: up some runs. In the first, William Damas a solo
Speaker 2: home run to write that gave the Giants a one
Speaker 2: nothing lead. The Dodgers got that run back though. In
Speaker 2: the second, Andy Pat has a sack flyt Roy Right
Speaker 2: that scored will Smith and we were all tied at one.
Speaker 2: How Whoever, in the third, Yoshinobu Yamamoto got into some
Speaker 2: trouble his own trouble and then had the bases loaded
Speaker 2: for Casey Smidt.
Speaker 7: There comes the one one on the way, swung on
Speaker 7: in a hammer deep to left and it's a grand
Speaker 7: slam for Schmidt, up into the pavilion and the Giants
Speaker 7: take a five to one leave Casey Schmidt with a
Speaker 7: grand slam for San Francisco. It is his second home
Speaker 7: run of the season. In the other three runs all walks.
Speaker 2: Yeah, not a great third inning for Yamamoto. The grand
Speaker 2: slam is the cherry on top for Casey schmid a
Speaker 2: five to one Giants lead after three. Fast forward to
Speaker 2: the seventh inning, Dodgers down five to one still when
Speaker 2: Tey Oscar Hernandez got him on the.
Speaker 7: Board to the Oscar lifts the ball high and deep
Speaker 7: to right field. This one headed back to the walk
Speaker 7: on a hold run Tasker Hernandez. It's five to two
Speaker 7: as taosker rips his twelve home run of the season.
Speaker 2: Tasker Hernandez with the home run. That is the top
Speaker 2: tier play the game, brought to you by Arco quality,
Speaker 2: top tier gas for a less the Dodgers would knock
Speaker 2: get on the board anymore. Andrew Kissner a home run
Speaker 2: to center in the eighth inning and gave the Giants
Speaker 2: a six to two late How about the Giants backup
Speaker 2: catcher and backup third basements both going deep. William Thomas
Speaker 2: their prize possession and free agency or who they acquired
Speaker 2: this last offseason. He gets a home run as well.
Speaker 2: The Dodgers offense last night's just two runs on two hits.
Speaker 2: That's it. As the Dodgers ran into Logan Webb and
Speaker 2: his seven innings struck out four. He gave up those
Speaker 2: two runs. No runs given up by the two Giants relievers.
Speaker 2: As the Giants take Game one of this three game
Speaker 2: series sixty two, the final Logan Web now six and five.
Speaker 2: Yoshinobu Yamamoto falls to six and five on this season.
Speaker 2: Giants improved to forty one and twenty nine on this season,
Speaker 2: along with the Dodgers also at forty one and twenty nine. Tonight,
Speaker 2: the Dodgers need to get back on the winning track,
Speaker 2: so they give the ball to Clayton Kershaw in Game
Speaker 2: two of this three game set. First pitch at seven
Speaker 2: ten and with more we head out to the Galpin
Speaker 2: Motors broadcast booth as we welcome in Tim Neverett and Rick Monday.
Speaker 7: Guys, Tim, thank you very much. Another nice night here
Speaker 7: at Dodgers Stadium for a ballgame. Is the Dodgers and
Speaker 7: the San Francisco Giants played the middle frame of this
Speaker 7: three game weekend set and very important for the Dodgers
Speaker 7: tonight to reclaim first place by themselves. The Dodgers and
Speaker 7: the Giants begin the night with an identical record of
Speaker 7: forty one and twenty nine, and it's been a long
Speaker 7: time since the Giants have been in first place by themselves.
Speaker 7: Back in early April, they had a half game lead
Speaker 7: for a day. But other than that has been the
Speaker 7: Dodgers dominating the National League Western Division standings.
Speaker 1: But the Giants have continued to win.
Speaker 7: They've picked up a number of wins in close games,
Speaker 7: and they've done it by pitching and getting just enough hitting.
Speaker 3: Tim, I think for the Dodgers, and I'm trying to
Speaker 3: tread on this lightly, I think the Dodgers tonight have
Speaker 3: to come on with The outlook is that tonight they
Speaker 3: begin the longest wind streak that they've had of the season.
Speaker 3: You know, you and I were talking earlier. The last
Speaker 3: twenty six game Dodgers are actually two games for five hundred,
Speaker 3: they're twelve and fourteen. The last twenty nine games they're
Speaker 3: twelve and eleven, So this is a good time to
Speaker 3: do it. Meanwhile, the Giants, who as you mentioned, have
Speaker 3: now been tied, they've not only won eight of the
Speaker 3: last nine, but you start to look, they've won eight
Speaker 3: of the last eleven on that end of it. The
Speaker 3: Dodgers the last eleven games, they're below five hundred at
Speaker 3: five and six, So a good time to get things started.
Speaker 3: And who better to give the ball to a guy
Speaker 3: who's headed to Cooper's Down after his playing career, that
Speaker 3: being Clayton Kershaw. And he just continues to kind of
Speaker 3: hone in on three thousand and strikeouts in his great
Speaker 3: career as well.
Speaker 7: He's seventeen more is at twenty nine and eighty three,
Speaker 7: coming off a good performance against Saint louis landon rope.
Speaker 7: His opposition started tonight for San Francisco. The Giants have
Speaker 7: won eight of their last nine ball games. Meantime, the
Speaker 7: Dodgers are twelve and fourteen, two games under five hundred
Speaker 7: in their last twenty six.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and they've not really hit too well. I mean,
Speaker 3: you look at the last seven games collectively, this team's
Speaker 3: just one ninety four in the batting average. They're not
Speaker 3: getting big production in the month of June from Okani
Speaker 3: and Freeman, along with some other guys you kind of
Speaker 3: look at, but those are the two you look at,
Speaker 3: the top three guys in the Dodger lineup. So yeah,
Speaker 3: it's a good time to do it. And when we
Speaker 3: talk offense, you know, the Dodgers different than the San
Speaker 3: Francisco Giants because the Dodgers have relied upon the offense
Speaker 3: and for the Giants mostly unpitching. Well, last night it
Speaker 3: was offense and pitching for the San Francisco Giants, and
Speaker 3: it was a mysterious night for Yoshinovo Yambamoto, who went
Speaker 3: just four and two thirds last night for the Dodgers,
Speaker 3: gave up a couple of home runs and made one
Speaker 3: hundred and two pitches.
Speaker 7: And walked a career high five in that ballgame as well. Meantime,
Speaker 7: Sho Hal Johnny has gone now ten games without driving
Speaker 7: in a run that ties a career high for him
Speaker 7: that was, unfortunately for him, set in May and June
Speaker 7: of twenty eighteen. So he looks to get out of
Speaker 7: that funk. He ended an eight game hitting streak last
Speaker 7: night taking an over. In fact, the team offensively, tay
Speaker 7: Oscar Hernandez went two for three. The rest of the
Speaker 7: team aer for twenty four.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they didn't do it. And for the Giants, I
Speaker 3: mean they wind up win. Of course, the Grand Slam
Speaker 3: was hit by Casey Schmidt. That was the big blast.
Speaker 3: They were just one for eight with runners and scoring positions.
Speaker 3: A good time to do things. The energy level, I
Speaker 3: think when you get behind in a ballgame early seems
Speaker 3: to dissipate. That's what happened. And the Giants, who are
Speaker 3: not known for hitting home runs this year, in fact,
Speaker 3: they're twenty first down the line. Well, last night they
Speaker 3: hit three out of the ballpark. The Dodgers had that
Speaker 3: lone home run by ti Oscar here name us tonight
Speaker 3: hopefully the Dodgers kind of turned the tables on the Giants.
Speaker 7: Clayton Kershaw against Land and Roof. That's the pitching match
Speaker 7: up here in Game two at Dodgers Stadium, Dodgers and
Speaker 7: the Giants still to come.
Speaker 2: Tim all right, thank you guys, as we count you
Speaker 2: down to first pitch, Dodger fans, get your game. Dame

Speaker 2: pitch coming up at seven ten.
Speaker 4: This is the Otani rewind.
Speaker 2: Well the Dodgers last night, pretty quiet they lost six
Speaker 2: to two. Show Hey, Otani did not have a hit.
Speaker 2: Mookie Betts was on base twice with a couple of walks.
Speaker 2: Dodgers had two hits in the game, all from tay
Speaker 2: Oscar Hernandez. That's it, two runs on two hits to
Speaker 2: showy Otani zero for four now hitting two eighty six
Speaker 2: is the Dodgers last night's season opener or series opener
Speaker 2: six to two.
Speaker 4: This is Kirston's Corner with Kirston Watson.
Speaker 2: Hey, Kirston ol joins us from the stadium before the

Speaker 2: eight seven to seven Cars for Kids Right now, friendly
Speaker 2: agents are standing by to take your donation. That's Cars
Speaker 2: with a K to donate your car today. Speaking of ks,
Speaker 2: we are getting closer for Clayton Kershaw and three thousand strikeouts.
Speaker 2: Happy Kershaw Day, Kirsten.
Speaker 8: Can you believe in Also like the fact that the
Speaker 8: number is now down to seventeen. That's really not that many,
Speaker 8: especially when you consider on his last outing he had
Speaker 8: seven strikeouts. Now it is clear that in that last
Speaker 8: outing that's probably the best start he's had this year.
Speaker 8: We saw more of the swing and miss against the Cardinals,
Speaker 8: and even coming out of it, he just felt like,
Speaker 8: you know, stuff was there and it was good to
Speaker 8: see just kind of how the ball was playing, to
Speaker 8: see more swing and miss in his game, kind of
Speaker 8: get back to his is I guess true roots per se.
Speaker 8: But for him, he feels like there's still a few
Speaker 8: things he's looking to kind of tighten up and to
Speaker 8: work through to get exactly where he wants to be.
Speaker 8: But it definitely was a good sign. So he was
Speaker 8: hoping to carry that over into this one. And of
Speaker 8: course the question was you know now that you are
Speaker 8: only seventeen strikeouts away from three thousand, like you are
Speaker 8: you counting? How where are you of the strikeout numbers?
Speaker 8: Things like that, and he was saying, you know, it's
Speaker 8: clean Kershaw and He's like, I'm not really looking into
Speaker 8: the numbers right now. It is what it is. But
Speaker 8: he admitted that Freddy Freeman is very.
Speaker 4: Much on top of it.
Speaker 8: And I asked Freddy tod today, I said, what is
Speaker 8: tell me more like, how many times are you reminding him?
Speaker 8: Are you reminding him during the game? So now it's
Speaker 8: Clay Kurshof. He doesn't really speak to anyone during the
Speaker 8: game because that would be huge. He goes, absolutely not
Speaker 8: here soon, I'm reminding him after the game or maybe
Speaker 8: like the next day to be like just so you know.
Speaker 8: And as soon as I ask, okay, so how many
Speaker 8: he goes seventeen, I go, you're on it. I'm impressed.
Speaker 8: I was very impressed. So, yeah, we're all counting. Though
Speaker 8: the ticker is officially on, the countdown begins.
Speaker 2: The countdown has begun. And looking into that Dodger clubhouse,
Speaker 2: Emmitt shean a fresh body and maybe a fresh arm
Speaker 2: joining this rotation. Yeah, we're hoping.
Speaker 8: So so. Emmett, first of all, has had a fantastic
Speaker 8: just build up coming back from injury, coming back from surgery,
Speaker 8: and so for him, he's put a lot of intention
Speaker 8: and just kind of prioritizing his health and his body
Speaker 8: and getting stronger and putting him in a good position
Speaker 8: to be successful. Now, if we look at his last outing,
Speaker 8: his last rehab start, which was now two days ago,
Speaker 8: it wasn't his best. He gone through three and a third.
Speaker 8: Kind of the the hits got up there. It is
Speaker 8: what it is. The runs got up there. But the
Speaker 8: most important thing is that he continues to feel healthy.
Speaker 8: So he is in the clubhouse today. He has not
Speaker 8: been activated. Dave Roberts said that he's still on his
Speaker 8: rehab assignment, but they wanted to get him here. He's
Speaker 8: gonna throw a bullpen here with the big league club
Speaker 8: if that goes well. It does sound like his next
Speaker 8: start could be back in the rotation. What that means
Speaker 8: just to be considering his built up He hasn't gone
Speaker 8: to that, you know, five and seventy five just yet
Speaker 8: with his rehab starts. They were hoping they would get
Speaker 8: him through four in the last one, but Dave Roberts
Speaker 8: said that they do feel comfortable with like a four
Speaker 8: and sixty five when that time comes. So we know
Speaker 8: that we're in a long stretch. It's a ten game
Speaker 8: homestand so right now and all arms and all hands
Speaker 8: are on deck and absolutely need it for this team.
Speaker 2: Jarson, We appreciate it. Great stuff. We will check in
Speaker 2: with you after the game. Still to come here on

Speaker 2: out to Dodger Stadium as we check out with the
Speaker 2: Dodgers skipper, any.
Speaker 5: Questions for Dave?
Speaker 9: Dave?
Speaker 5: Can you just describe Dave?
Speaker 2: Can you talk about the pressure in.
Speaker 4: The dugouts with Dave?
Speaker 8: Robberts talk about just a little bit more sting in
Speaker 8: this team?
Speaker 3: How do you heart seem just carry that over a.
Speaker 4: Name in this one against Turns.
Speaker 9: I think we're gonna need the slider tonight. Uh, certainly heavy, heavy,
Speaker 9: right handed lineup tonight. Some guys are familiar with them,
Speaker 9: most guys aren't. But I think that if you know,
Speaker 9: if he can command that fastball to both sides of
Speaker 9: the plate and uh, you know, present that slider as
Speaker 9: a strike, it should be a good outing for him.
Speaker 9: Aggressive team, So there should be a lot of balls
Speaker 9: in play early. But I think that you know, Clayton's
Speaker 9: in a good spot and look for him to build
Speaker 9: on his last one injury.
Speaker 2: Raised Like how pictures get used, this is so you
Speaker 2: feel let just mean more pictures that get to three
Speaker 2: thousand first recus I to pleat them.
Speaker 9: You know, I don't know, I'm not current with with
Speaker 9: the list of you know, where guys are at, but
Speaker 9: certainly the strikeout the way guys are, you know, breaking
Speaker 9: down and kind of the longevity of you know, the
Speaker 9: longevity piece to throw in two hundred plus innings a
Speaker 9: year to be able to strike guys out. That's a
Speaker 9: I don't know the answer. That's a good exercise probably
Speaker 9: for me to do heavy.
Speaker 1: She and had a big green on his face, but
Speaker 1: didn't want to speak out of turn about what the
Speaker 1: plan for me? Wanting to speak on his beat.
Speaker 9: Well, he's here, he's still on rehab.
Speaker 5: So where he's gonna throw a pen?
Speaker 9: I think tomorrow and then if if all goes well,
Speaker 9: you know, there's an opportunity for him to be activated.
Speaker 9: So we'll see and we'll keep kicking the cantil till
Speaker 9: Ethosi's pen.
Speaker 2: Well, I don't think you're gonna have to kick that
Speaker 2: can too much farther down the road because Immachian could
Speaker 2: be coming back sooner rather than later. More on that
Speaker 2: with David Vas. Say, when we come back here on
Speaker 2: Marongo Casino, Dodgers on deck and we're leading you up
Speaker 2: to first pitch, Dodgers and the Giants. I'm Tim Kas's
Speaker 2: the world champion Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 4: As we were saying, this is Marongo Casino Dodgers on
Speaker 4: deck on the official home of La Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 2: Dodgers playing host of the San Francisco Giants, Clinton Kershaw
Speaker 2: on the mountain, seventeen strikeouts away from three thousand, first
Speaker 2: pitch coming up. I'm sevent ten.
Speaker 4: Joining Tim Kates on Dodgers on deck.
Speaker 1: I accept everybody for who they are.
Speaker 4: This is Dodger insider David Basse.
Speaker 2: Right, Freddy Freeman. He's got a quad injury to go
Speaker 2: with the ankle. What's going on?
Speaker 1: Yeah, in San Diego during the middle game of that series,
Speaker 1: Freddy Freeman aggravated a quad injury that he did not
Speaker 1: have and now is managing He's not been running at
Speaker 1: full speed. In case you're wondering why, he may not
Speaker 1: be running at times as fast as you're used to
Speaker 1: seeing Freddy Freeman run. That's the reason why. And today,
Speaker 1: for the first time, I asked him about it and
Speaker 1: how much is he managing it and for how long?
Speaker 2: It's not living at all?
Speaker 10: It is not one hundred percent, so I will manage it.
Speaker 10: I won't run as hard on certain things, but when
Speaker 10: I have to run hard, I'm okay to run hard.
Speaker 10: It's just more of just trying to keep it manageable.
Speaker 10: It feels better when you don't get any hits or
Speaker 10: get on base. It definitely helps. It's like an active
Speaker 10: rest day. So today I feel good. It's a lot
Speaker 10: less tight today, so hopefully by managing it, I'll be
Speaker 10: one hundred percent in a few days.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Dave said that you've made an agreement with him
Speaker 1: to manage it or you gonna get a day off.
Speaker 10: Yeah. Yeah, it's hard to like their day. I had
Speaker 10: to beat the ball out and with the infield hit,
Speaker 10: so what that's what we're trying to manage. Like when
Speaker 10: I have to do something like that, I'll be able
Speaker 10: to do it. So yeah, I mean if I hit
Speaker 10: him grumble to like first base, you probably won't see
Speaker 10: me run hard the next couple of days. Just try
Speaker 10: it so I don't hurt myself.
Speaker 2: So it's in a.
Speaker 10: Spot where I can play through it. It doesn't affect
Speaker 10: you anything right now, but just trying to manage it
Speaker 10: and get through.
Speaker 1: One last question. Kershaw also told us you're the one
Speaker 1: that's keeping count of how many strikeouts away from three thousand,
Speaker 1: So I'm putting you on the spot right now seventeen more.
Speaker 1: You're one hundred percent right, and Freddy Freeman forty fifth
Speaker 1: on the all time doubles list.
Speaker 10: Okay, well, more important, let's get Clayton's seventeen more. I
Speaker 10: think I just you know, a career like that, and
Speaker 10: to be able to watch it him fold and being
Speaker 10: his teammate the last four years, obviously, I've helped him
Speaker 10: get to three thousand strikeouts as well, so it's just incredible.
Speaker 10: He's an incredible man, incredible pitcher. So hopefully he can
Speaker 10: have a few more games like the last one where
Speaker 10: he had six or seven strikeouts.
Speaker 5: We can get there soon.
Speaker 1: We're all very lucky. We got Freddy Freeman and we
Speaker 1: got Clayton Kershaw on the same team. That's special and
Speaker 1: that spoils all of us.
Speaker 5: Thank you, David.
Speaker 10: So hopefully Clayton has a wonderful night and we get
Speaker 10: to celebrate him here shortly in the next couple weeks.
Speaker 1: No doubt that's coming up here in the next couple
Speaker 1: of weeks, maybe even before the All Star break. Kershaw
Speaker 1: becoming just the fourth left hander in baseball history to
Speaker 1: achieve three thousand strikeouts. And how about this, Tim I
Speaker 1: mentioned Freddie Freeman and him climbing the all time doubles
Speaker 1: list in Baseball history corrections and retractions, he is forty
Speaker 1: third on the list and only six doubles away from
Speaker 1: passing the Iron Horse Lou Garrick for forty second on that list.
Speaker 2: Wow, Dave, we got about thirty second. It's another twenty
Speaker 2: twenty four world champion getting his ring.
Speaker 1: Yeah, in about ten minutes, Joe Kelly, Mariachi, Joe is
Speaker 1: going to be on the field and we'll be presented
Speaker 1: with is twenty twenty four World Series ring. We're gonna

Speaker 4: And now joined by David Bassey. Here's La Dodgers broadcaster
Speaker 4: and World Series champion Dodger Rick Monday.
Speaker 3: Rick.
Speaker 1: The Dodgers need to win tonight. They got a pretty
Speaker 1: good guy in the mound to try to be stubborn
Speaker 1: and give them a chance to do so.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think for Clayton Kershaw, this is more
Speaker 3: than just Hey, he's honing in on three thousand career strikeouts,
Speaker 3: only seventeen shy of that magic number. I mean every
Speaker 3: time he takes them mount, you're expecting to see some
Speaker 3: thing that maybe had not seen before. And I think
Speaker 3: Dave Roberts, we'll talk about it a little bit later on,
Speaker 3: Dave Roberts just said, he said, look, he's going to
Speaker 3: need the slider in tonight's ballgame. And the reason I
Speaker 3: think you said that is that for Kershaw, he's taken
Speaker 3: a couple of innings to dial in the slider and
Speaker 3: the curve ball in the five previous starts that he's had.
Speaker 3: Once he gets that in the last time out, keep
Speaker 3: in mind that slider had teeth, it was kind of
Speaker 3: burrowing in on right headed batters, and hopefully he has
Speaker 3: that really from the get go tonight.
Speaker 1: Dave Roberts said the same thing about the slider, But
Speaker 1: how about his money pitch, the curveball that becomes more
Speaker 1: of a weapon these days.
Speaker 3: How about the other pitch he's come up with, that
Speaker 3: being the splitter and not too many of them. But
Speaker 3: that's another wrinkle. Remember the slider that he was working
Speaker 3: on it for two years before he actually used it
Speaker 3: in a ballgame in competition. That's how exact Clayton Kershaw
Speaker 3: wants to be. Hopefully that's what he takes the mound
Speaker 3: with in the first inning tonight.
Speaker 1: The Dodger offense needs to bounce back after a disappointing
Speaker 1: night last night. Ta oskar her and as you and
Speaker 1: Tim mentioned, had both hits in the game last night.
Speaker 1: I would imagine tonight the Dodger offense is going to
Speaker 1: wake up.
Speaker 3: Well, it needs to wake up. And the starting pitching
Speaker 3: has also been problematic. I mean, you look at since
Speaker 3: the eighth of May, the Dodgers starting pitching has the
Speaker 3: third highest earned run average in baseball at almost five.
Speaker 3: It's the Rockies are close to six and a half,
Speaker 3: and then the A's at six and a quarter, and
Speaker 3: then the Dodgers at four point nine to three. So
Speaker 3: that needs to change the offense. Yeah, they had trouble
Speaker 3: last night. Only two advance in the entire game for
Speaker 3: the Dodgers with runners in scoring position, and for the
Speaker 3: Giants they were only won for eight if you hit
Speaker 3: a grand slam, as they did in last night's game.
Speaker 3: Day being, the Giants have a pretty good leg up
Speaker 3: as far as what happens on the scoreboard.
Speaker 1: That third inning seemed to be a perfect storm for
Speaker 1: the Giants. Adam Beck, the home played umpire a little inconsistent,
Speaker 1: Y'a Momoto and Dave Roberts both frustrated, and then the
Speaker 1: guys on Sports Nedel kind of intimated they believed that
Speaker 1: Yamamoto may have been tipping his pitches in that inn.
Speaker 3: Well, he may have been. But an update on Adam back,
Speaker 3: and again we're not trying to pick on umpires, but
Speaker 3: we talk about hitters that have maybe not been doing anything,
Speaker 3: or the low batting average or not knocking in runs
Speaker 3: for the last month or the last three weeks or
Speaker 3: whatever it may be. Well, Adam Beck worked the plate
Speaker 3: last night, call strikes a ninety three percentime cold balls
Speaker 3: ninety one percent, and it showed that he missed thirteen
Speaker 3: strikes that were cold balls. So we say, well, he
Speaker 3: missed that strike three call. How about the other pitches too,
Speaker 3: were they were cold balls but they were actually strikes.
Speaker 1: How much do you believe Yamamoto was frustrated by that
Speaker 1: strike zone and how much did it play into.
Speaker 3: You think he was frustrated by the lack of command
Speaker 3: that he had, and he wanted the plate to expand
Speaker 3: more than seventeen inches wide. He missed here, he missed there,
Speaker 3: and then he threw a couple of pitches right down
Speaker 3: the middle, including the grains. I think overall, there was
Speaker 3: frustration from the get go, because normally he's very precise
Speaker 3: with his command last night not nearly as effective as
Speaker 3: what we normally see.
Speaker 1: Rick, we had a chance to catch up with Freddie
Speaker 1: Freeman earlier and he explained the quad issue is still
Speaker 1: bothering him. Do you see it affecting him out?
Speaker 3: I was going to ask you when you said, well
Speaker 3: we talked to Freddie Freeman. Is that how forthcoming he
Speaker 3: was he? Because I have a sense that he has
Speaker 3: really banged up much more than what he lets on.
Speaker 3: And the reason I believe that is he's been very
Speaker 3: guarded in the last couple of years that he's been injured,
Speaker 3: even more than he has ever let anybody know, at
Speaker 3: least on the outside. The guys understand full well. They're
Speaker 3: in uniform with him, that he posts every day that
Speaker 3: he can possibly get on that field.
Speaker 1: He's stationed to station Freddie right now?
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, well he needed to get him on station
Speaker 3: to station because so far it's been kind of a
Speaker 3: week month of June, the last twelve games inning just
Speaker 3: two seventeen.
Speaker 1: All right, some June gloom for Freddie and show Heyo, Tani.
Speaker 3: Bloom's going to go away, David.
Speaker 1: I agree, tonight, that's right, the gloom is going away.
Speaker 3: Longest win streak of the season starts tonight.
Speaker 1: I love it against the Giants. That's a true Dodger
Speaker 1: talking right there with the Orange and Black in town.
Speaker 1: We'll send it back to you in the studio.

Speaker 1: I think you're doing a pretty good job so far.
Speaker 5: Time will tell.
Speaker 1: I have a great trust in you, because that's the
Speaker 1: person that you are now today is not only snow
Speaker 1: Zilla Saturday, It's Kershaw Day. Clayton Kershaw just seventeen strikeouts
Speaker 1: away from three thousand. Do you know that there's only
Speaker 1: three pitchers in baseball history that have three thousand strikeouts?
Speaker 5: And he's going for it. He's gonna get it.
Speaker 1: Hey, I know you were excited to be teammates with him.
Speaker 1: I know you're not pitching simultaneous simultaneously just yet. But
Speaker 1: what's it like to have lockers close to him? Does
Speaker 1: he push you to be better?
Speaker 5: I mean we talk a little bit. I think once
Speaker 5: we're like in the fight together, you know, once we're
Speaker 5: both pitching, I think that's when the conversations will will
Speaker 5: really start to happen, right, talk, We hang out like
Speaker 5: we're aware of each other and and and that's you know,
Speaker 5: it's so cool. But I think once once we're competing together,
Speaker 5: I think that's when you know, we'll really start talking more. Hey,
Speaker 5: what do you feel? What you what are you experiencing?
Speaker 5: And and wherever the conversations go. But I'm really looking
Speaker 5: forward to him.
Speaker 1: On a night like tonight, Kershaw against the Giants at
Speaker 1: Dodger Stadium. How much are you really locking in on
Speaker 1: what he's doing and how he's doing it?
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, I just want to see why he's
Speaker 5: so good. I mean, he's getting older, he's had so
Speaker 5: many just I mean two e r A, one e
Speaker 5: r A seasons. It's unbelievable. It's career era is crazy.
Speaker 5: I want to find a way to, you know, see
Speaker 5: see what the magic is, how he does it. And
Speaker 5: being able to watch him. That Cardinal start was really good.
Speaker 5: I feel like he's just you know, getting better and better.
Speaker 5: And no, I mean I'm lucky I get to watch him,
Speaker 5: I get to watch Yama and the other guys are
Speaker 5: are are coming around as well.
Speaker 1: So I'm very you say that you're trying to learn
Speaker 1: something from him. Kershaw has said this for the last
Speaker 1: five or six years. He has change up envy. You
Speaker 1: have one of the best change ups in baseball. Has
Speaker 1: he asked you or in a roundabout way about your
Speaker 1: change up?
Speaker 5: No, I mean he does a splitter. I throw like
Speaker 5: a UFO change up.
Speaker 1: So what's a UFO change up?
Speaker 5: That's a different grid. Yeah, but they're just yeah, they're
Speaker 5: just different. But his is this is pretty good, you know,
Speaker 5: watching it's getting better and hopefully that gives him. You
Speaker 5: know that that pitch can I think add years his career.
Speaker 5: I hope if he if that's something he wants to do,
Speaker 5: But yeah, I know that. I would love to be
Speaker 5: able to watch him pitch for another four years if
Speaker 5: he's up for it.
Speaker 1: I would love that too, So would La to have

Speaker 1: Thanks very much.
Speaker 5: Tim.
Speaker 7: Accounting it down to the first pitch at Dodgers Stadium,
Speaker 7: Dodgers and the Giants, both teams tied for first place
Speaker 7: in the National League Western Division. Clayton Kershaw one and
Speaker 7: oher and a four to three five Era comes off
Speaker 7: a very good outing against Saint Louis where he struck
Speaker 7: out seven, didn't walk anybody, and he is now just
Speaker 7: seventeen strikeouts away from the big milestone of three thousand.
Speaker 3: Six start for Kershaw this year. And I think that
Speaker 3: one of the things. We look at a couple of things, really,
Speaker 3: Dave Roberts addressed one of them, get to that in
Speaker 3: a moment. I look at the first inning, because so
Speaker 3: far in the first inning of the first five starts,
Speaker 3: it's a three eighty one banning average against. And I
Speaker 3: think the reason is it's taken him a couple of
Speaker 3: innings in order to dial in one the slider, two
Speaker 3: the curve ball. And Dave Roberts, getting back to my
Speaker 3: point saying earlier, says, look, he's going to need the
Speaker 3: slider tonight, and in my estimation, he needs it early
Speaker 3: in the ballgame tonight.
Speaker 7: Dave Roberts saying he expects a lot of balls in
Speaker 7: play early, so the slider would go against the fastball.
Speaker 7: He's doing a lot of fastballs, but hasn't gotten a
Speaker 7: ton of swings and misses on those this year. Now,
Speaker 7: landon Roupe two and one over his last five starts
Speaker 7: and an ERA of just won twenty seven. He comes
Speaker 7: off a win over the Atlanta Braves in which he
Speaker 7: went six innings allowing just three runs. So Rupe and
Speaker 7: Kershaw the matchup tonight. Dodgers looking to get back in
Speaker 7: the wind. Call him Tim all.
Speaker 2: Right, first bitches next, enjoy it. Dodgers Giants has been
