Speaker 1: Los Angeles Dodgers first place ATAPI NL West twenty two
Speaker 1: to ten on this season, and last night they opened
Speaker 1: up their longest road trip of the year the victory
Speaker 1: in Atlanta. They battled through the rain to get the win,
Speaker 1: and today some more rain expected in Atlanta. Will see
Speaker 1: what happens with first pitch. Roki Sasaki on the mound
Speaker 1: for the Dodgers, looking for his first win. In the
Speaker 1: big League's first pitch from TUIs Park is scheduled for
Speaker 1: four fifteen. Coming up over the next hour here on
Speaker 1: Morongo Casino, Dodgers on deck. You're gonna get a lot
Speaker 1: as you're gonna hear from the manager, Dave Roberts. We'll
Speaker 1: dive deeper into this pitching matchup. David Vasse will join
Speaker 1: us throughout the hour. He'll go one on one with
Speaker 1: Evan Phillips, who picked up his save last night. We
Speaker 1: got your Dodgers magical moment, your prize picks double Play
Speaker 1: of the Day, And in just a few minutes, we'll
Speaker 1: head out to the Gallpin Motors broadcast booth and here
Speaker 1: from Tim Neffertt and Rick Monday. Well, last night, the
Speaker 1: Dodgers outlasted the Rain and the Braves for a series
Speaker 1: opening win in Atlanta. Yoshinobu Yamamoto got the start. He
Speaker 1: was fantastic. Six innings, he went the first four he was.
Speaker 8: So you look at Dodger history, those twenty five career
Speaker 8: starts in Dodger history, what the lowest era is, and
Speaker 8: Yamamoto's among the leaders. Strike three called fastball on the
Speaker 8: inside corner, two punchouts in the inning. He's got six
Speaker 8: in the game. Yamamoto is in his rocking chair right now.
Speaker 4: He's threw four.
Speaker 1: Yoshi threw four innings, six strikeouts, fifty seven pitches.
Speaker 3: He was cruising.
Speaker 1: Grant Homes of the Braves also pitched well through the
Speaker 1: first four innings for the Atlanta Braves. But in the fourth,
Speaker 1: that's when the Dodgers got after him. Loaded the basis
Speaker 1: for Will Smith the sackfly RBI number eighteen, and the
Speaker 1: Dodgers jumped out to a one nothing lead in this
Speaker 1: sixth Inny. The Dodgers added on to that lead thanks
Speaker 1: to Mooki.
Speaker 6: He's got the highest exit velocity of any player in
Speaker 6: this game. It's almost ninety six miles an hour.
Speaker 8: Ookay swings hits, a drive to left field and deep
Speaker 8: going back.
Speaker 4: Is per Dugo still going back and this ball is gone.
Speaker 8: It's a home run for bets his fifth of the season,
Speaker 8: A solo shot for Mookie, and the Dodgers lead it
Speaker 8: two to nothing.
Speaker 1: Mookie betson two fastball drives it to left center for
Speaker 1: his fifth home run of the year, a solo shot.
Speaker 3: The Dodgers a two to nine in lead.
Speaker 1: In the bottom of the sixth, Yamamoto working on a
Speaker 1: no hitter, a very quietly working on that no no.
Speaker 1: With two out, so Austin Reiley a double to left
Speaker 1: center field that into the no hitter. Six strong innings
Speaker 1: from Yoshinobu Yamamoto, no runs, just that one hit, six strikeouts,
Speaker 1: ninety one pitches. He was impressive. He turned it over
Speaker 1: the bullpen. Kirby Yates, first guy out, gives up a
Speaker 1: home run of the first Battery faces in the seventh.
Speaker 1: That was Matt Olson, his fifth of the year. It
Speaker 1: was a two to one Dodgers lead. Tanner Scott got
Speaker 1: the eighth. He struck out one in a one two
Speaker 1: three inning. The Dodgers Embraves play eight full innings. That's
Speaker 1: when the rain came last night, an hour and thirteen
Speaker 1: minute rain delay, and then they came back finally to
Speaker 1: play the final inning.
Speaker 3: Dodgers would go in order in the top of the ninth.
Speaker 1: Evan Phillips got the bottom of the ninth, struck out
Speaker 1: the first two batters he faced, then a two out walk,
Speaker 1: then a comebacker for the final out of the game.
Speaker 3: Ballgame over.
Speaker 1: Dodgers hang on and beat the Braves through the elements
Speaker 1: through the rain delay for their sixth straight win. Yoshinobu
Speaker 1: Yamamoto Imprus to four and two. Evan Phillips his first
Speaker 1: save of the season for the Dodgers, who are now
Speaker 1: twenty two to ten on this season. Don't look now,
Speaker 1: but the Dodgers with the best record in baseball. They
Speaker 1: go into play with a game and a half lead
Speaker 1: over the San Diego Padres in the Western Division of
Speaker 1: the National League, and they look to extend their winning
Speaker 1: streak in the second game of this three game series.
Speaker 1: Whether will be a factory yet again? Dodgers and Braves.
Speaker 1: Rokie Sasaki on the mound in search of his first
Speaker 1: Big league winning with more out to the gallopin Motors
Speaker 1: Broadcast booth in Atlanta, as we say hello and welcome
Speaker 1: in Tim Neverett and Rick Monday, guys.
Speaker 8: Thank you very much, Tam and as we talked to
Speaker 8: you live here from Truest Park. Overcast skies. We look
Speaker 8: at the radar. There's some weather in the forecast and
Speaker 8: it should reach us sometime after the scheduled start of
Speaker 8: the ballgame. The grounds crew has already chalked the field,
Speaker 8: so that part has been totally done. The infield has
Speaker 8: been fully prepared. The pitcher's mound is covered right now,
Speaker 8: so the tarp down the left field side has the
Speaker 8: cover off. They're ready to put it on at any
Speaker 8: moment should they be called upon. So there is expected
Speaker 8: to be some rain, heavy at times at some point
Speaker 8: in time, but there is a window to play, and
Speaker 8: the Braves, being the home team, they want to wait
Speaker 8: this out regardless of what happens tonight, whether they play
Speaker 8: start and stop baseball, whether they wait to start later,
Speaker 8: or whether they started on time. The Braves have made
Speaker 8: the decision they want to be here tonight get this
Speaker 8: game in.
Speaker 6: Yeah, there's a window, and that window is being closed.
Speaker 6: I mean, the rain is coming. There's no inf fans
Speaker 6: and buds about it. And neither one of these teams
Speaker 6: a want to be able to, you know, basically spoil
Speaker 6: an outing by his starting pitcher, and they do not
Speaker 6: want to get this game underway and then have a
Speaker 6: split doubleheader if you will, tomorrow. It's already going to
Speaker 6: be a long day into the night for the Dodgers
Speaker 6: tomorrow because after tomorrow they hit down to Miami. So, yeah,
Speaker 6: this is a good start as far as this Dodger
Speaker 6: Brocklum and Now there are some changes that have already
Speaker 6: been made to this Dodger balclum because Tommy Edmund, who
Speaker 6: had tweaked his right ankle, has been now placed on
Speaker 6: the injured list, and the new faces in town.
Speaker 8: Hessan Kim, has made his way here from Oklahoma City.
Speaker 8: He is not in the starting lineup, but they do
Speaker 8: expect him to take the spot of Tommy Edmund, playing
Speaker 8: second base, possibly shortstop and also center field. And he's
Speaker 8: been playing okay down at triple a two point fifty
Speaker 8: two average with the Oklahoma City comments five home runs
Speaker 8: and nineteen RBIs. So Hassan Kim at some point of
Speaker 8: this road trip will make his major.
Speaker 6: League debut, and in the interim it's going to be
Speaker 6: at second base tonight Chris Taylor, who has had limited
Speaker 6: number of advance and also playing, he'll be at second base.
Speaker 6: Everything else is going to be remaining kind of the same.
Speaker 6: But for the Dodger ball club too. Tim having won
Speaker 6: six consecutive games in the manner in which they have
Speaker 6: done it, the pitching has been suburb Yamamoto six innings
Speaker 6: last night, no runs, just one hit, and then the
Speaker 6: bullpen kind of takes over on top of it. But
Speaker 6: for this Dodger ball club, you know, last night they
Speaker 6: basically prevailed in what we both thought was just a
Speaker 6: tremendously well pitched game by both sides.
Speaker 8: Really a good game on both sides of the Ledger.
Speaker 8: Grant Holmes was outstanding, a career high nine strikeouts for
Speaker 8: the Braves right hander and Yamamoto. It took a no
Speaker 8: hitter into the sixth and was really outstanding. And his
Speaker 8: era right now is almost invisible, zero nine zeros, less
Speaker 8: than a run the best of Major League base It's.
Speaker 6: Hard to enter a ball game and you earned run
Speaker 6: averages at one point zero six and it goes down
Speaker 6: and went down considerably on top of it, and then
Speaker 6: for Phillips to pick up to save, so plenty of opportunities.
Speaker 6: Neither team had many opportunities. In fact, the Atlanta Breys
Speaker 6: had one at bat with runners in scoring position and
Speaker 6: last night's lost, and for the Dodgers they only had two.
Speaker 6: On top of that, so they had a rain delay
Speaker 6: and it looks like we may get one before the
Speaker 6: first pitch is thrown in this one.
Speaker 8: Tonight, Dodgers have won six straight. They have won ten
Speaker 8: of the last twelve against the Braves going back to
Speaker 8: September of twenty twenty three, and they look to continue
Speaker 8: their winning ways against Atlanta and Roki Sasaki, looking for
Speaker 8: his first major league win. Oe won the record. He'll
Speaker 8: face Spencer Schwellenbach, who is one and two.
Speaker 1: Tim All right, thank you guys, as we got you
Speaker 1: down to first pitch. Dodger fans, get that game day
Speaker 1: meal on It's Shakey's Pizza Parlor, or to your Shakey's
Speaker 1: Pizza Chicken and Mojo's right now Shaky's dot Com coming
Speaker 1: up here on Marongo Casino.
Speaker 3: Dodgers on deck. We will check in with David Vase.
Speaker 1: He'll go one on one with Evan Phillips, who picked
Speaker 1: up his first save last night in the Dodgers two
Speaker 1: to one win over the Braves. We'll break down this
Speaker 1: pitching matchup with Rokie Susaki, still looking for his first
Speaker 1: major league win. We'll hear from the manager, Dave Roberts
Speaker 1: will update you on the injury report for the Dodgers.
Speaker 1: Got your prize picks. Double play of the game. But
Speaker 1: up next, you know, Tani Rewind. It's all coming up.
Speaker 1: As we lead you up the first bitch in Atlanta
Speaker 1: Dodgers and Braves.
Speaker 3: Thanks for being with us.
Speaker 1: I'm Tim Kase's the world champion Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 7: This is Morongo Casino Dodgers Hunt game.
Speaker 5: On your home for LA Dodgers.
Speaker 3: Baseball, Dodgers and Braves.
Speaker 1: Game two of this three games set Rokie Sasaki and
Speaker 1: Spencer Schwellenbach to pitching matchup first pitch scheduled for four fifteen.
Speaker 5: This is the Otani rewind Well.
Speaker 1: Showy Otani a quiet night at the plate last night
Speaker 1: at the lead off spot, zero for four with a
Speaker 1: couple of strikee coounts now hitting two seventy seven on
Speaker 1: the season, still slugging at a five thirty eight percentage
Speaker 1: the Dodgers last night at the two to one win
Speaker 1: over the Atlanta Braves. A big reason why the home
Speaker 1: run from Mookie Betts, who continues now to swing a
Speaker 1: hot bat, five game hitting streak, third straight game with
Speaker 1: multi hits in the game, and last night his home
Speaker 1: run in the sixth that he proved to be the
Speaker 1: difference of the two to one win.
Speaker 3: And afterwards, David Veasse caught up with Mookie.
Speaker 9: Hey Skinny fat guy Dave with the man Mookie bats
Speaker 9: who grinded out two at bats against Grand Holmes.
Speaker 4: How big of a win was this tonight?
Speaker 10: I mean every win is big, but especially after that
Speaker 10: off day. We came out kind of sluggish a little bit, but.
Speaker 3: Yoshi picked us up.
Speaker 10: I mean, Yoshi doing what Yoshi seems to always do.
Speaker 10: I mean, fortunately, I was able to put a couple
Speaker 10: of good swings on.
Speaker 9: Some balls push Grant Holmes with that fastball. Your home
Speaker 9: run was the difference in the game. Were you looking
Speaker 9: fast forwar? Are you looking at the zone right there?
Speaker 10: I'm just looking and hit it swinging a strike. I
Speaker 10: swung in some pitches in the dirt, So I was
Speaker 10: really just looking to get something that I can handle, and.
Speaker 4: You know he was.
Speaker 10: He threw He threw a pitch, you know, over the
Speaker 10: plate and I can put a good swing on it.
Speaker 4: Mukie.
Speaker 9: When you come out here to start this road trip
Speaker 9: and you face a guy like Grant Holmes who was
Speaker 9: on his game, finding somehow some way to get a win,
Speaker 9: I'm sure is really gratifying.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 10: Absolutely, I mean again, you know, coming into the truest park,
Speaker 10: you know the Braves are gonna be ready to roll.
Speaker 10: They've been playing pretty good baseball. Like you said, Holmes
Speaker 10: has been pitching really well, so hopefully well we got Yoshi.
Speaker 10: We got Yoshi, and uh you know he did. He
Speaker 10: did a great job for Bookie.
Speaker 9: It's fireworks night here in Atlanta. You provided the fireworks
Speaker 9: for the Dodgers.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 10: Maybe, uh, I don't know what that sign would be called,
Speaker 10: but I like it all.
Speaker 9: Right, Bookie, thanks a lot, and you're just getting started.
Speaker 5: Is yes?
Speaker 11: Their thank you?
Speaker 4: Bro there he is the man move. Don't sleep on.
Speaker 1: Marcus, not sleeping on Mookie, that is for sure. Dodgers

Speaker 1: the show. He'll go one on one with Evan Phillips.
Speaker 1: But I'm next. We'll get you an injury report and
Speaker 1: we'll hear from the Dodger manager Dave Roberts.
Speaker 3: It's coming up.
Speaker 1: As we lead you up to Dodgers and Braves on
Speaker 1: this Saturday. I'm Tim Kasey's world champion Los Angeles Dodgers
Speaker 1: audio nowhere.
Speaker 7: This is Marongo Casino Dodgers on Deck.
Speaker 5: On your home for the blue all season long.
Speaker 1: Marongo Casino Dodgers on Deck continues as we lead you
Speaker 1: up to Dodgers and Braves Marongo Casino Resort and Spa,
Speaker 1: A Grand Slam for good times. Rookie Saki on the
Speaker 1: mound for the Dodgers first Pitcherman Atlanta, scheduled for four
Speaker 1: to fifteen.
Speaker 7: This is the LA Dodgers Injury.
Speaker 1: Report, presented by UCLA Healthy, official medical partner of the
Speaker 1: Los Angeles Dodgers. Well now thirteen players on the IL
Speaker 1: for the Dodgers. Tommy Edmund the latest placed on the
Speaker 1: IL today with the sore right ankle. Jus and Kim
Speaker 1: gets called up from Triple A Oklahoma City. More on that,
Speaker 1: Dave Roberts in just a minute, Tyler Glaston on the IL,
Speaker 1: Blake trying it on the sixty day I L. Blake
Speaker 1: Snell on the IL, Michael Kopek on the sixty day IL.
Speaker 1: Bruce dar Graderol don't forget about him working his way
Speaker 1: back from his shoulder injury. As is Clayton Kershaw on
Speaker 1: the sixty day IL. He pitched in Triple A Oklahoma
Speaker 1: City earlier this week. He is scheduled to come off
Speaker 1: the injured list mid May. He's trending in that direction,
Speaker 1: so that is certainly good news for the future Hall
Speaker 1: of Famer.
Speaker 3: Let's head back out to Atlanta and check in with
Speaker 3: the Dodgers. Skipper questions for Dave Dave?
Speaker 5: Can you just describe Dave?
Speaker 6: Can you talk about the pressure.
Speaker 9: In the dugouts with Dave Robberts Dave, we know it's
Speaker 9: an idea for either team to lose a starting pitcher
Speaker 9: if the rain interrupts the game. So what's being discussed
Speaker 9: between the Dodgers, the Braves, and the league.
Speaker 12: I think right now we're going to try to wait
Speaker 12: this thing out. I don't know a potential starting time.
Speaker 12: I do know that both teams don't want to start
Speaker 12: stop situation. So I think that we're prepared to hunker
Speaker 12: down and play a game tonight. If it doesn't happen,
Speaker 12: then there's talk of a potential split doubleheader.
Speaker 9: I know at this point it's not much you can do,
Speaker 9: but is that favorable to you to play tonight or
Speaker 9: would it be more favorable to play a double header tomorrow?
Speaker 12: You know, I think for us, decisiveness is probably better
Speaker 12: to make a decision versus waiting around all night and
Speaker 12: ultimately not playing. But I think you've got to let
Speaker 12: the process play out. I don't think that we have
Speaker 12: any preference on either playing a game today and then
Speaker 12: playing another tomorrow versus playing to tomorrow and getting extra players.
Speaker 12: So I think as far as personnel, we're in a
Speaker 12: good spot.
Speaker 4: What triggered placing Tommy on the IL and y.
Speaker 12: Kim, Well, Tommy he ran yesterday and just still didn't
Speaker 12: feel great, still some sortus in the ankle, and didn't
Speaker 12: feel that he could play tonight or even tomorrow potentially.
Speaker 12: So just the back date, knowing that it's potentially ten
Speaker 12: days to make sure he gets it right, we just
Speaker 12: felt that it was an easier decision. As far as Heysong,
Speaker 12: he's playing well down there. He's still adjusting with the back.
Speaker 12: But I think the versatility piece, the second base, shortstop,
Speaker 12: center field, the base running component come in and steal
Speaker 12: a base. I think all that you know was a factor.
Speaker 1: All Right, there's Dave Roberts talking to why Kim got
Speaker 1: called up at Why Tommy Edman ultimately got placed on
Speaker 1: the injured list. It's early may better to rest him up,
Speaker 1: get that angle one hundred, if not close to it
Speaker 1: for the rest of the season.
Speaker 3: That absolutely makes sense.
Speaker 1: As Dave Roberts down the DIY got as we continue
Speaker 1: to lead you up to first pitch from at Atlanta.
Speaker 1: Up next, we'll check out what David Va say is
Speaker 1: we're leading up to first pitch Dodgers and Braves. I'm
Speaker 1: Tim Kakes's the world champion Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 7: As we were saying yes, is Marongo Casino Dodgers on
Speaker 7: Deck on the official home of LA Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 3: Brogo Casino.
Speaker 1: Dodgers on Deck continues as we lead you up to
Speaker 1: first pitch from Atlanta Rookie Sazaki and Spencer Schwellenbach. The
Speaker 1: pitching matchup coming off. We'll dive deeper into this pitching matchup.
Speaker 1: We'll hear from Evan Phillips.
Speaker 7: But first, joining Tim Kats on Dodgers on Deck.
Speaker 4: I accept everybody for who they are.
Speaker 5: This is Dodger insider David Bai.
Speaker 1: All Right, David, you're gonna take off your insider hat
Speaker 1: and put on your weather man hat.
Speaker 3: What's the latest from Atlanta.
Speaker 9: Well, we just got word from the Dodgers director of Travel,
Speaker 9: Scott Akasaki, that we are going to be in a delay.
Speaker 9: This game is not going to start on time. And
Speaker 9: that's basically what Dave Roberts conveyed to us in his
Speaker 9: office when I asked him about it. He said, basically,
Speaker 9: the teams in Major League Baseball have agreed that they're
Speaker 9: going to quote hunker down here until they're able to
Speaker 9: start this game without interruption, because neither team wants to
Speaker 9: lose their starting pitcher because of a rain delay. That's
Speaker 9: the thought behind not starting until you're really certain that
Speaker 9: the weather has out, and if you go on your
Speaker 9: weather app tim that's not going to happen until around
Speaker 9: nine thirty or ten o'clock Eastern times. So when Dave
Speaker 9: Roberts said they are going to hunker down, he meant it,
Speaker 9: and that's what the plan is. And I've gotten indications
Speaker 9: from some Dodger players that told me it's the Braves
Speaker 9: that want to play tonight more than anybody else.
Speaker 1: I mean, a doubleheader tomorrow would make sense since the
Speaker 1: weather will be a lot better, but if they want
Speaker 1: to play tonight. Let them play tonight. Tommy Edmond goes
Speaker 1: to the injured list. David, you talked about this the
Speaker 1: last couple of days. The ankle wasn't right, he wasn't
Speaker 1: in the lineup, and this could be something the Dodgers did,
Speaker 1: and they ultimately did put him on the il.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 9: Remember last Tuesday at Dodger Stadium, as Edmund was going
Speaker 9: from second to third, he awkwardly tweaked his right ankle,
Speaker 9: and it just hasn't gotten that much better. And I
Speaker 9: talked to Thomas Aalbert, the Dodger trainer, and even Tommy
Speaker 9: Edmund conceded if this was a playoff game or a
Speaker 9: must win type of game, he would be in the
Speaker 9: starting lineup. But the Dodgers, when we talk about their depth,
Speaker 9: it's not just about the twenty six man roster, it's
Speaker 9: about their forty man rosters.
Speaker 4: So they're able to give.
Speaker 9: Edmund extra time to get all that soreness out of
Speaker 9: his right ankle and call up a kid they signed
Speaker 9: out of Korea, the KBO and his son Kim, and
Speaker 9: he arrived in the clubhouse about two hours ago with
Speaker 9: all his luggage, and we had a chance to catch
Speaker 9: up with Kim earlier today. Were you surprised that you
Speaker 9: got this call to be called up to the major leagues?
Speaker 11: Don keep, I was very surprised.
Speaker 7: Uh.
Speaker 13: After the game last night, our a manager, Henny, he
Speaker 13: announced to him that he was kind of get in
Speaker 13: the show. I came here with a very happy, uh,
Speaker 13: and very exciting mindset, and I'm really exciting right now.
Speaker 9: How much has your confidence grown since spring training? With
Speaker 9: the work you've put in with your new swing.
Speaker 11: Is putting people with petological.
Speaker 13: Today?
Speaker 6: Oh?
Speaker 11: Get Oh he's.
Speaker 7: Uh.
Speaker 13: For now, I feel really very comfortable, like very confident,
Speaker 13: not being very different, but with the swing changes, I've
Speaker 13: been working very hard and then I feel really confidence
Speaker 13: right now.
Speaker 9: All right there, it's Has Song Kim with his translator.
Speaker 9: Don't know his name, but I will let you know
Speaker 9: what his name is as we move forward.
Speaker 5: Tim.
Speaker 9: But really, when you look at this decision to put
Speaker 9: Edmund on the IL, he basically was still sore running.
Speaker 9: And also this gives the Dodgers an opportunity to see
Speaker 9: where Kim is at after revamping his swing in spring training.
Speaker 9: And also it's an opportunity for Kim to see major
Speaker 9: league pitching, to see where he stacks up, so it's
Speaker 9: worked out and gives him a taste of his first
Speaker 9: major league action, and there is a chance that he
Speaker 9: starts tomorrow.
Speaker 1: David is driven by for if there's one thing we like,
Speaker 1: it's choices, fine yours with the four ff point fifty
Speaker 1: gas hybrid all electric toughness marken only be called the
Speaker 1: f one fifty.
Speaker 3: Don't look down, DV. Mookie Bets starting to heat up?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I know right. Everybody wanted to know what's wrong
Speaker 4: with the Dodgers. What's wrong with the Dodgers, What's wrong
Speaker 4: with Mookie Betts? What's wrong with Freddy Freeman?
Speaker 9: Well a, the Dodgers have the best record in baseball
Speaker 9: right now. B Freddie Freeman is hitting over three hundred
Speaker 9: with an OPS over one thousand, and Mookie Bets, all
Speaker 9: of a sudden, has driven in seven runs in his
Speaker 9: last three games, including last night's home run, which was
Speaker 9: the difference in the game, hitting a fastball off of
Speaker 9: Grand homes who players were telling me even during the
Speaker 9: game last night, tim was the best they had seen,
Speaker 9: and it was evident. Grant Holmes set a new career
Speaker 9: high in strikeouts. He had nine strikeouts last night, so
Speaker 9: for Mookie Betts to hang in there down two strikes
Speaker 9: to hit a home run, which was the difference in
Speaker 9: the game. With the rain, the weather all that seems
Speaker 9: like he's starting to really heat up and the Dodgers
Speaker 9: that have not hit on all cylinders, Mooki has not
Speaker 9: hit on all cylinders and they still have the best
Speaker 9: record in baseball.
Speaker 1: David Clark kent or glasses and nobody recognized him as Superman,
Speaker 1: but he was the same guy Max Munsey wearing glasses.
Speaker 3: Now a new look, what's going on?
Speaker 9: Yeah, he actually went to go see the same eye
Speaker 9: doctor that Rick Monday is friends with, and also Keik
Speaker 9: A Hernandez went to see last year and advised him
Speaker 9: that he had a stigmatism in his right eye, same
Speaker 9: situation with Max Munsey.
Speaker 4: He had been wearing these glasses, these.
Speaker 9: Goggles, prescription goggles during batting practice during the last homestand
Speaker 9: he finally decided I'm going to take the dive and
Speaker 9: wear them during the game because he said it couldn't
Speaker 9: get any worse without him. And he hit his first
Speaker 9: home run of the season wearing those prescription sunglasses, and
Speaker 9: last night hit up all down the right field line,
Speaker 9: was just inches foul, so he's sticking with the eyeglasses.
Speaker 9: And doctor Alex Lou, a good friend of Rick Monday,
Speaker 9: is to be credited with these two guys getting their
Speaker 9: eyes checked.
Speaker 3: Shout out to doctor Lou.
Speaker 1: Time down for the Dodger Derby brought to by San
Speaker 1: Anita Park. We are picking a race at Santa Anita tomorrow,
Speaker 1: David on the Sunday race card, the second race of
Speaker 1: the day, six and a half furlongs, currently an eight
Speaker 1: horse race.
Speaker 3: Who do you like in this one?
Speaker 13: Well?
Speaker 4: Number one, I'm still focused on this Kentucky Derby.
Speaker 2: Bute me too.
Speaker 9: I will turn my attention to this the number one horse,
Speaker 9: Pacific Quest.

Speaker 7: Joined by David Bassey, Here's La Dodgers broadcaster and World
Speaker 7: Series champion Dodger Rick Monday.
Speaker 9: Well, sometimes on the road you're a little melancholy and
Speaker 9: you need to pick me up. And Rick, I feel
Speaker 9: like when you envision this segment, it got you out
Speaker 9: of your hotel room and ready for the game.
Speaker 6: You know, I could not have said it better. Yeah,
Speaker 6: when I woke up this morning. So you don't have
Speaker 6: an opportunity to spend a couple of minutes on the
Speaker 6: air with David Massetti as we await the rain, and
Speaker 6: it is coming. For those who know the geography, the
Speaker 6: rain is now well, it's two thirds of the way
Speaker 6: between Birmingham, Alabama and the Land of Georgia, and it
Speaker 6: is coming. It is coming rather quickly, and hopefully it
Speaker 6: comes through rather quickly, because neither one of these teams,
Speaker 6: David want to be able to have their starting pitching
Speaker 6: warm up and maybe go a couple of innings and
Speaker 6: then have to shut it down and maybe even have
Speaker 6: to pick up the game tomorrow. And I'm a little
Speaker 6: surprised that as we're speaking, the ground screw has not
Speaker 6: covered the infield with the tarp yetless, and that kind
Speaker 6: of surprises me because I look at the radar. I mean,
Speaker 6: it's a lot of red on the radar coming this way.
Speaker 9: Are you surprised the Braves and the Dodgers would start
Speaker 9: this game as late as ten o'clock Eastern time instead
Speaker 9: of a doubleheader tomorrow?
Speaker 6: No, No, it's going to be a long day for
Speaker 6: the Dodgers also because with the late start tomorrow, by
Speaker 6: the time they get into their not even scheduled to
Speaker 6: land if things go perfectly tomorrow night, not scheduled to
Speaker 6: land in Miami until about a quarter to two in
Speaker 6: the morning. So you know, it's a turnaround. You're trying
Speaker 6: to save as much in as you can, and you
Speaker 6: know this is all how you see things, which is
Speaker 6: a pretty good play in introduction to him. Maybe a
Speaker 6: conversation even I can have on Max Munsey being able
Speaker 6: to see things a little bit better. He went to
Speaker 6: a good friend of ours, doctor Alex Low and Roland Heinz,
Speaker 6: and got his eyes tested and learned a couple of
Speaker 6: different things that I think really helped an athlete understand it.
Speaker 6: First of all, only has a slight astigmatism in his
Speaker 6: right eye, and his left eye is the dominant eye,
Speaker 6: which tells me a couple of things. As a hitter,
Speaker 6: he's a left handed batter, so he's got to make
Speaker 6: sure that his head has turned a little bit more
Speaker 6: so he sees the picture with one hundred percent of
Speaker 6: both eyes to begin with, Well, they've got the prescription
Speaker 6: to where you know he had cooked the vision anyway.
Speaker 6: I mean his vision was twenty twelve, but the astigmatism
Speaker 6: was not really allowing him to see the ball clearly.
Speaker 6: And if we go back, I did some research today,
Speaker 6: let me run this bike. Last year, kik Hernanuz did
Speaker 6: exactly the same thing. He went to our good doctor
Speaker 6: because the first seventy one games Kiki Hernanuz was hitting
Speaker 6: one seventy one and he had five home runs in
Speaker 6: the seventy one games. He goes and gets his eyes
Speaker 6: checks gets the different prescription the final fifty five games
Speaker 6: of the season. Last year, k k Hernanez, who said
Speaker 6: he was able to see the spin of the baseball again,
Speaker 6: hit two seventy four with seven home runs in those
Speaker 6: fifty five games. So it did improve by a great deal.
Speaker 9: And I mentioned to you during the homestand that Monsey
Speaker 9: alerted me to these prescription glasses. But he was only
Speaker 9: using them during batting practice. But a few of the
Speaker 9: guys down there told him, what do you have to lose?
Speaker 9: Things can't get any worse for you.
Speaker 6: Yeah, man, And you have to wear them in order
Speaker 6: to get used to them, because it does give you
Speaker 6: a little different perception. But seeing the ball, I think
Speaker 6: depth reception probably goes to that too. I'm not the
Speaker 6: expert on it. You kind of figure it out. And
Speaker 6: since he understands, and I'm a little surprised, he probably
Speaker 6: understood that his left eye was dominant anyway. But as
Speaker 6: a left handed batter, here's my point. Very quickly, against
Speaker 6: left handed pitching, you have to make sure that your
Speaker 6: head is turned a little bit more or open up
Speaker 6: your body so again you see the picture with both
Speaker 6: eyes and not just trying to peek around the corner,
Speaker 6: especially with his left eye dominated.
Speaker 4: All right, Rick, thanks a lot for that information.
Speaker 6: Has some inside hitting as far as the approach.
Speaker 4: Hey, I love it. I love it. I wish I
Speaker 4: would have known that when I was growing up.
Speaker 6: I helll me get your eyes checking.
Speaker 4: Thanks a lot, Rick. We'll take in with you and
Speaker 4: Tim Nevertt in a moment.
Speaker 9: Still no rain year and some blue skies, but we'll
Speaker 9: keep you updated on where this game is headed and
Speaker 9: when it's going to start.

Speaker 5: This is high and tight.
Speaker 9: Well weather seems to be part of this leg of
Speaker 9: the Dodger road trip. Last night an hour plus delay
Speaker 9: and then Evin Phillips came in and closed out the
Speaker 9: first save since last season. And Evin joins us right now,
Speaker 9: the hometown kid in a lot of ways.
Speaker 4: Thanks a lot for the time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no problem at all.
Speaker 4: What's it like coming back to Atlanta for you.
Speaker 2: It's a lot of fun. You know, for a long
Speaker 2: time here. It was just great to come back and see,
Speaker 2: you know, old friends and very familiar with the area
Speaker 2: close to you know, where I grew up in North Carolina,
Speaker 2: so a family would always come down, and you know,
Speaker 2: my wife and I decided to move back to this
Speaker 2: area too, So you know, now coming home and you're
Speaker 2: getting a taste of that throughout the year. It's it's
Speaker 2: really special for us, that's for sure.
Speaker 9: And in a lot of ways, this is kind of
Speaker 9: your coming out party here in this ballpark, because I
Speaker 9: remember during the twenty one postseason, this is where you
Speaker 9: really made an impression for the Dodgers.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, that was a nice way to get
Speaker 2: eased into my first playoff experience. Was you know, playing
Speaker 2: against some former teammates and having that familiarity in the
Speaker 2: postseason made things a little bit easier for me. And
Speaker 2: you know, yeah, like I said, it's it's great to
Speaker 2: match up against these guys. And then they've obviously had
Speaker 2: a lot of turnover over there, but still some familiar
Speaker 2: faces and a lot of talented players, so it's always
Speaker 2: a good game.
Speaker 9: Last night, we asked you this after the game, how
Speaker 9: did you get ready after an hour rain delay?
Speaker 4: But Avan phillips demeanor stayed the same.
Speaker 2: It seemed like, yeah, you know, I had a decent
Speaker 2: feeling that I was going to be the guy going in.
Speaker 2: They hadn't said anything quite yet, and when the delay hit,
Speaker 2: you know, I just tried to stay mentally in it,
Speaker 2: not get too high and not get too low, stay prepared.
Speaker 2: And you know, the tricky part there is, you know,
Speaker 2: during an hour delay. You know, that's another hour since
Speaker 2: I've done any prep and thrown you know, been stretched out,
Speaker 2: stuff like that. So that kind of challenges the harder
Speaker 2: side of it, but not making too much of it.
Speaker 2: And then when that time comes to get ready to
Speaker 2: just do what I always do.
Speaker 9: Considering not pitching in a major league game since last
Speaker 9: year's NLCS, how has your body bounced back for.
Speaker 2: The most part good. I think you can't. You can't
Speaker 2: really replicate the major league workload. That think that's why
Speaker 2: we do, you know, a pretty extensive rehab process is
Speaker 2: to try to you know, get the most out of
Speaker 2: that as you can. That way, when we're the demands
Speaker 2: of coming back to the big leagues or when you're
Speaker 2: when you're ready for that, when that time comes, you're
Speaker 2: ready to go. And I think that showed, you know,
Speaker 2: I went back to back right right off of a
Speaker 2: rehab assignment, and I think that's that's why we do
Speaker 2: those things. And being thrust into this you know, leverage
Speaker 2: role again and and you know, I'm happy to be
Speaker 2: able to you know, jump right back in and you
Speaker 2: know pretty much pick up where I left off. But yeah,
Speaker 2: that's definitely a challenge of coming off rehab.
Speaker 9: For sure, you never seem to doubt that you would
Speaker 9: be able to come back. Why were you so confident
Speaker 9: that you would be able not only to come back,
Speaker 9: but to be your old self.
Speaker 2: You know, I think we've just worked really hard at
Speaker 2: getting back to who I who I can be as
Speaker 2: a pitcher, and really locking in on, you know, what
Speaker 2: makes me successful, right so doing the certain things in
Speaker 2: the minor league games to get ready, building that confidence
Speaker 2: in myself, and then you know, when it comes up
Speaker 2: to matchups here in the big leagues, if I go
Speaker 2: out there and feel like I'm physically prepared and mentally
Speaker 2: convicted in what I'm doing, I can have success just
Speaker 2: just against just about anybody. So that's kind of been
Speaker 2: the recipe, you know, coming off of rehab and building
Speaker 2: that confidence and just trying to take all that out there.
Speaker 4: I know you're always taking inventory.
Speaker 9: What did you learn about yourself during this whole process
Speaker 9: of taking a step back because of the jury. Did
Speaker 9: you come back maybe a better version of yourself?
Speaker 2: Maybe in some ways, I think you're always learning in
Speaker 2: this game. You know, no one's ever got it all
Speaker 2: figured out, so to to understand kind of the ebbs
Speaker 2: and flows of a major league season, and you know,
Speaker 2: learning that that part of it on a rehab assignment too,
Speaker 2: where you know, some of those decisions are out of
Speaker 2: my hands. You know, I'm on a rehab stand that's
Speaker 2: gonna take, you know, however long, and whether I feel
Speaker 2: like I'm ready or the team feels like I'm not ready,
Speaker 2: I had to kind of just stick to that process
Speaker 2: and make the most of it. So I think I
Speaker 2: definitely learned a lot about how to handle certain things
Speaker 2: while I was down there and rehabbing, but certainly just
Speaker 2: blessed them and you're really excited to be back here.
Speaker 9: Yeah, the Dodgers are very fortunate to have Evan Phillips
Speaker 9: back in their bullpen. And every year is unique, Evan,
Speaker 9: and the dynamics of a team are different every year.
Speaker 9: Can you describe what the dynamics are in that Dodger
Speaker 9: bullpen this year compared to last year.
Speaker 2: Yeah, We've got a couple of new faces, but for
Speaker 2: the most part, it's a very similar group. And I
Speaker 2: think our new guys definitely add to what we have
Speaker 2: down there. So Tanner, Scott Kirby, Luis Garcia, those guys
Speaker 2: are very unselfish pitchers. They they'll do whatever it takes
Speaker 2: for us to win, you know, seeing them pitch and
Speaker 2: you know, different spots here and there to maximize our
Speaker 2: chances to win the game. You know, that's that's really
Speaker 2: Dodger Baseball to a team. So it's been great to
Speaker 2: watch them get you know, adjusted to how we run things,
Speaker 2: and you know, their personalities messed perfectly with how we
Speaker 2: operate down there. So it's been a great dynamic so far,
Speaker 2: and I just hope we continue to build on that.
Speaker 9: It's a long time coming for you and Tanner Scott
Speaker 9: to be teammates again, now that you're healthy and now
Speaker 9: that you both are in the same bullpen again with
Speaker 9: the Dodgers. What's the dynamic between you two now?
Speaker 2: You know, it's great, and it's it's very similar to
Speaker 2: how we operated in Baltimore. Is just it looks a
Speaker 2: little bit different. You know, we're on a championship caliber
Speaker 2: team instead of a rebuilding team, so the work is
Speaker 2: a little bit different. You know, we're not just trying
Speaker 2: to develop anymore. We're trying to have you know, we're
Speaker 2: trying to win and trying to be successful. So for
Speaker 2: the most part, you know, stuff in between innings and
Speaker 2: the goofing off. It's all the same, but it's it's
Speaker 2: been really fun to watch us both, you know, be
Speaker 2: successful in the box score and come in and be
Speaker 2: able to you know, give each other knuckles or high
Speaker 2: fives and congratulate each other on good outings and you know,
Speaker 2: hopefully continue to build on that and be part of
Speaker 2: a championship season together.
Speaker 9: It seems like Tanner Scott's throwing more strikes than ever,
Speaker 9: do you know why?
Speaker 2: You know, I think from what I can speak just
Speaker 2: with Tanner and from experience, I just see him and
Speaker 2: he's mentally just much more free than I ever experienced
Speaker 2: in Baltimore when I was with him. You know, I
Speaker 2: got out of there and he had a couple more
Speaker 2: seasons where he had started to put it together a
Speaker 2: little bit, but you know, when you're trying to develop it,
Speaker 2: there's so much more going through your head. But I
Speaker 2: think when you start to win games and competition just
Speaker 2: takes over. Tanner's a guy that needs that competitive edge,
Speaker 2: and once you give it to him, he can really,
Speaker 2: you know, unleash it and just be the best version
Speaker 2: of himself. And there's no better place to compete than
Speaker 2: the Dodgers, So it's it's been a lot of fun
Speaker 2: to watch, and then there's definitely more in the tank
Speaker 2: there too.
Speaker 9: A lot of guys can't handle pitching for the Dodgers.
Speaker 9: You obviously know that you've excelled, but some guys the
Speaker 9: lights get a little bit too bright and big markets.
Speaker 9: How has Tanner been able to acclimate from pitching for
Speaker 9: the Marlins and obviously the padres to a lesser degree,
Speaker 9: But what's it been like?
Speaker 2: I think he's a guy that feeds off of that
Speaker 2: higher intensity, you know, And I think in sports in general,
Speaker 2: some guys really need to dial it up, and some
Speaker 2: guys try to either tow the line like I do,
Speaker 2: or really dial it back and treat it like more nonchalant. Right.
Speaker 2: Tanner's a guy that I think, when when it gets intense,
Speaker 2: he wants that moment, you know. And I think we're
Speaker 2: gonna have a lot of those this year for the Dodgers,
Speaker 2: and there's really not many other guys that'd rather have
Speaker 2: than Tanner Scott and a lot of those innings.
Speaker 4: Has a baby doing, baby bo Phillips.
Speaker 2: Maybe, yeah, Bo Phillips. That's another part of our friendship.
Speaker 2: We share, our sons share the same name. Our bows
Speaker 2: felt a little bit different, but it's still a lot
Speaker 2: of funn He just turned two years old. He's running
Speaker 2: all over the place, repeating everything, only the good things,
Speaker 2: and it's just been a lot of fun to watch
Speaker 2: him grow and it's happening really fast.
Speaker 9: Hey, truly a blessing, right, absolutely no doubt of doubt.
Speaker 4: Thanks a lot for the time.
Speaker 9: I always love talking, tapping into your knowledge and sharing
Speaker 9: you with Dodger fans because relievers get lost in the shuffle.
Speaker 9: When you're pitching good, nobody talks to you.
Speaker 2: We're special teams, you know, and we make the field goals.
Speaker 3: Everything's good.
Speaker 2: If we miss a field goal, it's you know, all
Speaker 2: hell's breaking loose.
Speaker 9: Well, I'm glad to talk to you under these circumstances.
Speaker 9: Keep it going and stay healthy the rest of the way.
Speaker 2: Thank you very much.
Speaker 6: Dave.
Speaker 4: There he is the man. Super reliever.
Speaker 9: Evan Phillips has been our guest and he receives a
Speaker 9: gift card for a pair of brand new sunglasses from Canaan,

Speaker 1: Dodgers in search of as the lusive first win in
Speaker 1: the Big League's first pitch is going to be delayed
Speaker 1: because the weather.
Speaker 3: But let's head back out to the booth. Tim negett
Speaker 3: Rick Monday, guys.
Speaker 4: Thanks again, Tim.
Speaker 8: I'm still in a holding pattern here at Truest Park
Speaker 8: in Atlanta. Game two of the three games set Dodgers
Speaker 8: winning the opener last night two to one. Rokie Sasaki
Speaker 8: is set to make his seventh major league start. He
Speaker 8: will oppose Spencer Schwellenbach when this game gets underway. Now,
Speaker 8: as we look around the ballpark here, no players are
Speaker 8: on the field. They're all in the clubhouse. Typically at
Speaker 8: this time you would see a starting pitcher out either
Speaker 8: stretching or starting to maybe play long toss or get
Speaker 8: prepared for the start. No pitchers are out here, So
Speaker 8: this game will be starting into delay. And how long
Speaker 8: that delay will be we don't know. So we encourage
Speaker 8: folks to stay tuned right here and we'll let you
Speaker 8: know when we do have an official estimated start time.
Speaker 8: But it's certainly not going to start on time.
Speaker 6: I'm a little surprised that they have not officially made
Speaker 6: an announcement to those that are in attendance at the
Speaker 6: present time here at the stadium. I'm imagine it's going
Speaker 6: to be coming soon. And how weird is is it?
Speaker 6: Five minutes ago we were looking at some patches of
Speaker 6: blue sky. Well, that's going to disappear because it is
Speaker 6: coming this direction. It is going to hit hard when
Speaker 6: it finally arrives.
Speaker 8: Temperatures dropping in, the wind is picking up, and that's
Speaker 8: the indicator that there is a storm front behind it.
Speaker 8: We're expecting it to possibly get heavy for a brief
Speaker 8: period of time once it does hit, and then some
Speaker 8: lingering brain and then there's a window after that to
Speaker 8: get this game in again. Roki Sasaki is still looking
Speaker 8: for his first major league victory, and for the young
Speaker 8: right hander, it's a big start here against what should
Speaker 8: be a formidable opponent for him.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and one thing he has to do and then
Speaker 6: we have two startings starters tonight that opposite into the spectrum.
Speaker 6: As far as throwing strikes, suzaki Is strike rate that
Speaker 6: he throws is fifty seven percent. That's the second lowest
Speaker 6: of any starting pitcher in Major League Baseball. Flip side
Speaker 6: of the corn swelling back for Atlanta, a very high
Speaker 6: strike rate to going and for Suzaki has to figure
Speaker 6: out a how to get that splitter over for strikes
Speaker 6: where they expand the strike zone and b that slider's
Speaker 6: been hit as the fastball has been hit. One of
Speaker 6: the things we'll watch very quickly. We've seen a drop
Speaker 6: off in velocity of Suzaki. Is that by design or
Speaker 6: is there something else?
Speaker 8: Keep an eye on Rokey tonight against Spencer Schwelling back again.
Speaker 8: We'll update your's best we can on an estimated start
Speaker 8: time when we have it, but this game will start
Speaker 8: in a delay. The Braves fourteen and seventeen, you know,
Speaker 8: the Dodgers, winners of six straight, major league's best record
Speaker 8: twenty two and tend still on that holding pattern. Tim
Speaker 8: All right.
Speaker 1: We will take a break and actually come back and
Speaker 1: get a further updates.
Speaker 3: Get you ready for a little rain delay.
Speaker 1: Dodger talk as well as the Dodgers and Rays will
Speaker 1: start at a weather delay in Atlanta.
Speaker 3: Last night.
Speaker 1: They played eight full innings before an hour and thirteen
Speaker 1: minute rain delay, and they finished the ninth inning immediately
Speaker 1: after that. The rain still in Atlanta expected through the night,
Speaker 1: but they're gonna wait this out as long as they
Speaker 1: can to get this second of three games in Tomorrow's
Speaker 1: Sunday Night Baseball from Atlanta. Dodgers on an East Coast
Speaker 1: ten day, ten game road trip, and tonight just game
Speaker 1: two and already weather affecting both games.
Speaker 3: We'll come back and we'll get more from Truest Park.
