Speaker 2: at first base. Meanwhile, Tyler Glassnow got the start and
Speaker 2: the big right hander was good for six innings, allowing
Speaker 2: just three runs on five hits while striking out nine
Speaker 2: along the way. In the second, Glass now thought he
Speaker 2: was gonna get out of it clean by a ball
Speaker 2: misplayed by Andy Paiez in center field to open the
Speaker 2: door for two outs for the Phillis to score two
Speaker 2: runs and take a two to Donzing lead oh No.

Speaker 5: It if gone.
Speaker 3: Tioscar Hernandez squeeze is.
Speaker 2: A two run glass inside the foul pole down the
Speaker 2: left field line, and the Dodgers have a four spot
Speaker 2: in the Hey lead by two tier run home run
Speaker 2: for Tay Oscars, twenty fourth of the season.
Speaker 3: That's the top tier play of the game.
Speaker 2: Brought to you by ARCO Quality top tier gas for
Speaker 2: less Dodgers. With a four run third inning off Aaron Nola,
Speaker 2: took a four to two lead. Tyler Glass now would
Speaker 2: take that lead into the sixth, giving up a running
Speaker 2: that inning but getting out of a jam with just
Speaker 2: the one run. Dodgers were up four to three after
Speaker 2: Glass Now, the Dodgers bullpen did their thing. Michael Kopek
Speaker 2: put up a zero in the seventh. Anthony Banda worked
Speaker 2: out of a jam with a pair of strikeouts as
Speaker 2: the Dodgers kept their four to three lead. In the
Speaker 2: bottom of the eighth, showy Otani a solo home run,
Speaker 2: his thirty fourth. That was a huge insurance run for
Speaker 2: the Dodgers, who were up five to three going to
Speaker 2: the top half of the ninth inning when Daniel Hudson
Speaker 2: came on and he closed it out for the Dodgers.
Speaker 2: They get the win five to three. Tyler Glass now
Speaker 2: his ninth win of the season. Dodgers now nineteen games
Speaker 2: over five hundred sixty six and forty seven, half game
Speaker 2: back of the Phillies for the best overall record in
Speaker 2: the National League. They're leading now five games in the division.
Speaker 2: Tonight they give the wall to Clayton Kershaw in game
Speaker 2: two of his three game set. First Bitch is seven
Speaker 2: to ten and with more we head out the Dodgers
Speaker 2: Dadium the Galloping Motors broadcast booth as we welcome in
Speaker 2: Steven Nelson, Rick Monday, Guys.
Speaker 6: Thank you Tim.
Speaker 4: The Dodgers trying to take this series from the Philadelphia Phillies,
Speaker 4: and with a win today, Rick Monday, the Dodgers would
Speaker 4: have the top record in the National League.
Speaker 6: How about it?
Speaker 7: Well, and it means more than just the bragging rights.
Speaker 7: I mean, if you look at postseason play, it also
Speaker 7: means home field advantage and that that is a huge,
Speaker 7: huge deal. And again it's more than just to post
Speaker 7: it up. Hey, we have the best record, I know
Speaker 7: it and actually means something if it comes down to
Speaker 7: with the postseason.
Speaker 4: And the Dodgers have seen already this year how tough
Speaker 4: a play Citizens Bank Ballpark is to play a baseball game,
Speaker 4: and it is to the end degree in the postseason.
Speaker 4: So you'd rather have the majority of the games here
Speaker 4: at Dodgers Stadium, wuldn't you? I absolutely agree, especially when
Speaker 4: you saw the atmosphere that can be created by Dodgers fans.
Speaker 4: Last night was a moment that we'll never forget to
Speaker 4: welcome back for Freddy.
Speaker 7: Franz, and it was wonderful. I think for all of us.
Speaker 7: There's a timeout that we had. First of all, there's
Speaker 7: a time out from reality when we come to the ballpark.
Speaker 7: That's one of the things you checked at the gate, YEP. Unfortunately,
Speaker 7: when the game's over, they hand us back the reality
Speaker 7: as we're leaving the stadium. But last night, the moment,
Speaker 7: I mean from the moment that fred Freeman walked into
Speaker 7: the locker room for a matter a matter of fact,
Speaker 7: and seeing all the jerseys that were up with the
Speaker 7: Maximus on the front and then Freeman on the back,
Speaker 7: I mean that brought him to tears. And I think
Speaker 7: all of us, you know, one of the big, big deals.
Speaker 7: We talked about it last night from a parent's standpoint,
Speaker 7: but when you have one of your children's in peril,
Speaker 7: everything stops, I mean reality stops, live stops and everything else.
Speaker 7: That was a magical moment I think for all of us,
Speaker 7: And kudos to everybody was here at the stadium, because
Speaker 7: in support we are much much better as a society.
Speaker 7: When we hold hands, you go arm in arm in something.
Speaker 7: And last night, fifty thousand went arm in arm to
Speaker 7: let Freddy Freeman his family know, look.
Speaker 6: We're right with you.
Speaker 4: Example of the baseball brotherhood that is talked about so often.
Speaker 6: You saw it.
Speaker 4: I mean just from Marvin Hudson, the crew chief, Garrett Stubbs,
Speaker 4: the catcher, Aaron Nola, all the Phillies, I mean Nick
Speaker 4: Castianos has his hat off in his hand to his chest,
Speaker 4: just the whole the whole scene. It was well done
Speaker 4: by all parties involved, and especially the Dodgers fans.
Speaker 7: And trod That was one of those moments too. No
Speaker 7: one was saying, oh, is your team in first place?
Speaker 7: Is he gotten a base hit? Is this guy's era
Speaker 7: is down? No, this was a moment about hey, look
Speaker 7: we can all be touched, yeah, at the snap of
Speaker 7: a finger in our own lives and our own families.
Speaker 7: And it was a wonderful sharing. I think of a
Speaker 7: lot of emotion and support last night.
Speaker 4: It was one of those where I was obviously was thankful.
Speaker 6: To be here.
Speaker 4: I was bummed to be on the radio call because
Speaker 4: you have to describe it, and I was like trying
Speaker 4: to hold back the tears and the emotions of the
Speaker 4: moment as well. So it was just a really cool thing.
Speaker 4: And to cap off the night with the win of
Speaker 4: course with Freddy obviously and show he talked about the
Speaker 4: afterwards to get a win and Freddie's turn was ultimately
Speaker 4: an appoint important thing too because it sets him up
Speaker 4: for a series win today.
Speaker 7: Yeah, and the ball clup's going back, and you understand
Speaker 7: as it look the guys on the other side of
Speaker 7: the field for the Phillies, they're trying to iron things
Speaker 7: out as well, because since the All Star break they've
Speaker 7: gone four and twelve. They're trying to right the ship.
Speaker 7: And we'll talk more about the Phillies and the struggles
Speaker 7: that they may have had, but each and every game
Speaker 7: you have to treat it differently. And we're gonna see
Speaker 7: Clayton Kershaw on the mound tonight. We'll talk about it
Speaker 7: the next segment a little bit more about Clayton Kershaw.
Speaker 7: But he's trying to get his season really underway. Even
Speaker 7: though it's gonna be his third start, I don't think
Speaker 7: he's had the start that he would like to have.
Speaker 7: It Tonight it's gonna be a whole different story.
Speaker 4: It'll be a battle of left handed pitchers. One going
Speaker 4: to the Hall of Fame one, trying to get his
Speaker 4: major league legs under them at Christopher Sanchez has had
Speaker 4: a solid season for the Phillies. Clayton Kershaw, he's getting
Speaker 4: the ball rolling in his season. Will preview that pitching

Speaker 1: This is Kirston's Corner with Kirston Watson.
Speaker 6: Hey.
Speaker 2: Kirson now joins us from the stadium before game two
Speaker 2: of this three game set. Kirsten beforehand, though some good news.
Speaker 2: Mookie Betts's return is on the horizon.
Speaker 3: Yeah it is.
Speaker 8: I mean we can almost get a countdown clock going.
Speaker 8: He's supposed to be returning on the road trip in Milwaukee.
Speaker 8: It's looking like day one or day two of that
Speaker 8: road trip for the twelfth or the thirteenth. But as
Speaker 8: much as David's kind of like they don't want to
Speaker 8: go into the specifics of which date is going to be,
Speaker 8: those two seem very very likely and just that road
Speaker 8: trip in that series is a definite. Yes, So what
Speaker 8: does that mean for when he returns? What position is
Speaker 8: he going to be playing, obviously, with how a well
Speaker 8: Gavin Lucks and playing at second with Miguel Rojas, how
Speaker 8: well he was playing at shortstop and offensively before going
Speaker 8: on the IL. With all the acquisitions, there have been
Speaker 8: a lot of questions as to what are things going
Speaker 8: to look like. Dave Roberts said today that when Mooky returns,
Speaker 8: he's going to be playing at shortstop and he's going
Speaker 8: to be batting second. So similar to what we saw
Speaker 8: with the lineup last night in which it was show
Speaker 8: Hey O Tani, Teoscar Hernandez, and then Freddie Freeman. Moving forward,
Speaker 8: once Mookie returns from the injury from the injured list,
Speaker 8: it's going to be show Heyo Tani batting lead off,
Speaker 8: Moogie Betts has got a bad second, and then we'll
Speaker 8: see Freddy Freeman. And so David was just saying that
Speaker 8: he likes breaking up those two lefties, and so as
Speaker 8: much as we saw the first half of the season
Speaker 8: before Mookie went on the IL, he was batting first
Speaker 8: and then show Hey and then Freddy, there was talks
Speaker 8: of breaking them up. That's what the plan is going
Speaker 8: to be upon return. But that just means there's a
Speaker 8: whole lethora of more questions as to what does that
Speaker 8: mean for everyone else? So, Tim, it's gonna be a tricky.
Speaker 2: On It's gonna be a game of musical chairs here
Speaker 2: soon once these guys all get back, and Max Munsey's
Speaker 2: on the horizon as well, we're gonna get these arms
Speaker 2: back in the bulp and there's just not enough chairs
Speaker 2: at the dance.
Speaker 8: Yeah, And that's the biggest thing is how do you
Speaker 8: make this work? Obviously, when you look at the trade deadline,
Speaker 8: Tommy Edmund was acquired, You've got Ahmed Rosario, They've got
Speaker 8: Nick Ahmed, Like, there are so many players who they're
Speaker 8: playing well, they're putting.
Speaker 1: It out there.
Speaker 8: Even you look at Kei y Hernandez, he has upped
Speaker 8: his game ass of Lade, playing primarily every day at
Speaker 8: third base. Well, tomorrow we're gonna be seeing likely Miguel
Speaker 8: rohas returning from the il tonight he's with the Quakes.
Speaker 8: He's gonna be dhing in that game, so is getting
Speaker 8: some more at bats and then his return could be tomorrow.
Speaker 8: So who is he gonna come in for? What is
Speaker 8: he gonna play? Is he gonna step in as shortstop
Speaker 8: or is he gonna step in more at third because
Speaker 8: then a couple days later, I guess maybe a series later,
Speaker 8: we're gonna be seeing Mookie Betts return on the road trip.
Speaker 8: So there are a lot of questions. Does this mean
Speaker 8: that you know the younger guys in Andy pa has
Speaker 8: as well as James Outman. Is it limited opportunity for
Speaker 8: them now? Or are maybe one of these veteran guys
Speaker 8: Like it's a good problem to have, but it's a
Speaker 8: tough one as well.
Speaker 2: It definitely is. Here's to appreciate it. We'll check you
Speaker 2: with you after the game. Dodgers fans and Hansherd listening

Speaker 2: That is the good news. Le's head back out check
Speaker 2: on the Dodger Skipper.
Speaker 6: Any questions for Dave Dave? Can you just describe Dave?
Speaker 6: Can you talk about the pressure.
Speaker 1: In the dugouts with Dave Roberts.
Speaker 9: You know, it's sort of, you know, the first one
Speaker 9: I thought was really good stuff is crisp sharp. The
Speaker 9: second one not as crisp across the board, and so
Speaker 9: I think that, you know, tonight, I think that we
Speaker 9: sort of the pitching guys work through some things on
Speaker 9: the delivery. I you know, I don't expect Clayton to
Speaker 9: be perfect every time out still just give us what
Speaker 9: he has. Uh, it's a very good lineup over there,
Speaker 9: and you know, I think tonight, you know, the slider
Speaker 9: obviously is his pitch. There's a lot of right hand
Speaker 9: hitters in there. So the depth of the slider is
Speaker 9: going to be important. And you know, using this using
Speaker 9: the curveball and then also locating the fastball. So, uh,
Speaker 9: he's gonna have to be effective as far as command.
Speaker 9: And if he does that, it's going to be a
Speaker 9: good outing and we'll see as far as how far
Speaker 9: we push him. But I expected to be good tonight.
Speaker 2: All right, there's Dave Roberts talking about Clayton Kershaw getting
Speaker 2: the start tonight on the Dugout with Dave Roberts, brought
Speaker 2: to you by Service Titan. Dave Roberts is a Titan
Speaker 2: in his own right. He's got a plan before his
Speaker 2: team hits the field. You need one for your growing
Speaker 2: contracting business too. Learn more at servicetitan dot com. Let
Speaker 2: them help you implement that plan. All right, we continue
Speaker 2: here on Dodgers on Deck. We'll check in with David
Speaker 2: Vase gives you the very latest, so he leads you
Speaker 2: up to first pitch Dodgers and Phillies. I'm Tim Kasis,
Speaker 2: Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 1: This is Marongo Casino Dodgers on Deck on your home
Speaker 1: for the Blue all Season law.
Speaker 3: Dodgers in Phillies.
Speaker 2: Game two of this three games set Dodgers just a
Speaker 2: half game back of the Phillies for the best record
Speaker 2: of the National League. Clayton Kershaw on the Mountain the
Speaker 2: umpiring crew for tonight's game brought to my Fred Loyer
Speaker 2: Insurance celebrating fifty years while providing reliable and afforda little
Speaker 2: car insurance for you and your family.
Speaker 3: First pitch coming up at seven.
Speaker 1: Ten, Joining Tim kats on Dodgers on deck.
Speaker 5: I accept everybody for who they are.
Speaker 1: This is Dodger insider David Bass.
Speaker 3: All Right, David.
Speaker 2: Dave Roberts has alluded today that when Mooki comes back,
Speaker 2: he is not going to be back in the leadoff spot.
Speaker 3: They're gonna keep show. Hey o Tani there, Uh, what
Speaker 3: do you make of this?
Speaker 5: Yeah? I wasn't sure what to make out of it,
Speaker 5: but gauging Mookie's temperature after Dave Roberts announced it, my
Speaker 5: understanding is Mookie is okay with it because he wants
Speaker 5: to win a World Series and more importantly, he wants
Speaker 5: to have a parade in Los Angeles for the first
Speaker 5: time since nineteen eighty eight for the Dodgers. So that's
Speaker 5: at the forefront of his focus this season, and you
Speaker 5: know his actions has spoken louder than his He went
Speaker 5: to second base, then he went to shortstop, and there's
Speaker 5: even a chance that he may go back to right
Speaker 5: field when the postseason starts. But here he is. He
Speaker 5: gets unfortunately hit by a pitch on his left hand.
Speaker 5: He's out for six weeks, and when he comes back,
Speaker 5: he's no longer the Dodgers' leadoff hitter. But I will
Speaker 5: say this Tim, it's a lot to expect for Mooki
Speaker 5: to come back and be the leadoff hitter when he's
Speaker 5: missed six weeks. So I could see this being the
Speaker 5: Dodgers allowing him to just get the feel back to hitting,
Speaker 5: and maybe when October comes around, or maybe even a
Speaker 5: few weeks after he returns, they go back to the
Speaker 5: original starting lineup of bets Otani and Freeman. As far
Speaker 5: as shortstop goes, he heard from Muki yesterday. We had
Speaker 5: a chance to speak to him. That's where he prefers
Speaker 5: to play, and the Dodgers feel like these six weeks
Speaker 5: since he broke his left hand has given him an
Speaker 5: opportunity to refine the throwing from that position, because that
Speaker 5: was the biggest hurdle, So we'll see. The Dodgers want
Speaker 5: to see what this version of Mookie Betts is like
Speaker 5: after having basically six weeks of spring training to throw
Speaker 5: from shortstop. So let's see where it goes, and if
Speaker 5: it doesn't look good, then the Dodgers will reassess them.
Speaker 5: More than likely, Mookie Betts will play right field if
Speaker 5: Gavin Lux keeps swinging the bat the way he is.
Speaker 3: David has driven by Ford. If there's one thing we like,
Speaker 3: it's choices.
Speaker 2: Find yours with the Ford F one fifty gas hybrid
Speaker 2: or all electric tough this mark can only be called
Speaker 2: F one fifty. Clayton Kershaw gets to start tonight, Dave.
Speaker 2: It's been kind of a rocky start since coming back
Speaker 2: from the shoulder surgery. Looking to bounce back after that
Speaker 2: seven run performance he gave up in three and two
Speaker 2: thirds against the Padres last Wednesday.
Speaker 3: What do you expect that at him tonight?
Speaker 5: Well, I know he wasn't happy with his bullpen session
Speaker 5: in Oakland because scouts have told me since they have
Speaker 5: seen him pitch in the minor leagues that they believe
Speaker 5: that he has to come up with a change up
Speaker 5: if he's only going to throw eighty nine ninety on
Speaker 5: his fastball. He's aware of that. He has been throwing
Speaker 5: the split change up more since he's come back than
Speaker 5: we've ever seen him throw it, So he's very aware
Speaker 5: that he needs that pitch to be more effective than
Speaker 5: what we've seen in the first two starts. So that's
Speaker 5: something to look for. And I've asked him about it,
Speaker 5: Tim and he said, you know me, I'm working on
Speaker 5: it in the bullpen. But once you're out there, you've
Speaker 5: got to compete and you've got to trust the pitches
Speaker 5: that have gotten you to where you're at. So it's
Speaker 5: one thing to try to refine it in the bullpen.
Speaker 5: If he doesn't feel great with it, I find it
Speaker 5: hard to believe he's going to throw it a lot
Speaker 5: in games.
Speaker 2: All Right, we'll find out tonight. Dave great Stuff will
Speaker 2: check back into you in just a couple of minutes.
Speaker 2: Coming up here on Dodgers on Deck, you're gonna hear
Speaker 2: from Anthony Bonda, Dodger reliever. He's been really good since
Speaker 2: the Dodgers acquired him. We'll dive deeper into this pitching matchup.

Speaker 1: Com and now joined by David Basse Here's La Dodgers
Speaker 1: broadcast there and World Series champion Dodger Rick Monday.
Speaker 5: Rick, It's Kershaw Day, Clayton Kershaw on the mound and
Speaker 5: Freddie Freeman, after an emotional night at Dodgers Stadium, back
Speaker 5: again in the starting lineup today.
Speaker 7: Yeah, you start to look at last night. I thought that,
Speaker 7: I thought the crowd reaction, the player's reaction, the teammates,
Speaker 7: a reaction with Freddie Freeman coming back, and you know,
Speaker 7: we said last night and we'll say it again, a
Speaker 7: nightmare for any parent is to have a child that
Speaker 7: is very very ill. And for Freddie Freeman to come
Speaker 7: to home Plate last night and get the standing ovation,
Speaker 7: I don't know how I held it together at home Plate.
Speaker 7: He was emotional, no question about it. So you move forward.
Speaker 7: But that does not that does not preclude the fact
Speaker 7: as we get Max in our thoughts and as Freddie
Speaker 7: was saying, it's going to be a roadback for the youngster.
Speaker 7: But one thing about is he's beginning to get his
Speaker 7: character back as well.
Speaker 6: So that's the good news.
Speaker 5: So is Freddie smiling again today, So that's always.
Speaker 7: Lucky to smile about because you know, seven or eight
Speaker 7: days ago, there weren't too many smiles unfortunately, just a
Speaker 7: wonderful medical team and put a lot of faith into
Speaker 7: people and it touches all of us.
Speaker 5: Earlier today I was in the clubhouse and as you know,
Speaker 5: there's Freddie Freeman's cookie binging. He loves to eat sugar cookies.
Speaker 5: And he took a bite out of this sugar cookie today, Rick,
Speaker 5: and it was great to see that smile again. And
Speaker 5: he said, how can you not smile when you eat
Speaker 5: a cookie?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 7: Has he shared, by the way, has he shared any
Speaker 7: of those cookies with you?
Speaker 5: Well, I'm afraid to take any because what if I
Speaker 5: take one and he wants it?
Speaker 7: Well, understand this. Evidently, if you have one, you'll smile, right.
Speaker 5: Yes, I don't want to take away those smiles.
Speaker 7: You should pass it around to everyone. Is it that
Speaker 7: the line you see someone in class? Did you bring
Speaker 7: enough for all of us?
Speaker 5: Hey, I'm old school like you, Rick, I'm not part
Speaker 5: of the team. Those are not my cookies. That's the
Speaker 5: player's cookies.
Speaker 6: Oh okay, there we go.
Speaker 5: See you wouldn't like me taking your cookies when we.
Speaker 7: Get them, and we'll make sure that we put a
Speaker 7: smile on your face.
Speaker 5: Hey, Rick, Freddy Freeman's not the only one smiling these days.
Speaker 5: I know Gavin Lux is not in the starting lineup today,
Speaker 5: but there has been no other player in the National
Speaker 5: League that has turned their season around like Gato Luck.
Speaker 7: And he's done a remarkable job. You know who else
Speaker 7: in that family is smiling? His uncle because that's where
Speaker 7: we go to. And you know you were able to
Speaker 7: find out the story too, is it all Star Brenk.
Speaker 7: He's talking to his uncle and his uncle said, hey,
Speaker 7: by the way, let's talk hitting a little bit. And
Speaker 7: they the uncle brought up the fact is, look, you're
Speaker 7: drifting forward. You look at a hitter. Here's what the
Speaker 7: people need to look at. When you look at a
Speaker 7: hitter from the side, it's difficult to see it from
Speaker 7: the back. We look at it from the side in
Speaker 7: their stride. How much is their head going forward. Golfers
Speaker 7: will relate to this better than anyone else because the
Speaker 7: old adage is, and I've said it many many times,
Speaker 7: I will continue to say it, staying behind the ball,
Speaker 7: especially on the drive. Staying behind the ball, don't drift
Speaker 7: on it. You'll block it out. It's the same way
Speaker 7: with hitting a baseball. The difference is in the baseball
Speaker 7: the ball's moving. In golf, sometimes you believe it's moving
Speaker 7: even though it's sitting on a tee. But you can't
Speaker 7: drift forward on the ball a lot. And that's one
Speaker 7: of the things that he and his uncle discovered. They
Speaker 7: talked about and for Gavin Luxe, kudos because he put
Speaker 7: it to use. And it's fun to see someone who
Speaker 7: was really struggling to begin with now have that confidence.
Speaker 7: We notice the confidence even before a lot of the
Speaker 7: hits started to really kind of pile upon one on
Speaker 7: the other. But the confidence is a great thing to
Speaker 7: have if you're player.
Speaker 5: It's amazing that a small adjustment can have drastic returns.
Speaker 7: Well, it's a drastic move though, too. If you're moving forward,
Speaker 7: if your head's moving forward a foot and a half
Speaker 7: or two feet, that's more than just a small adjustments.
Speaker 7: There's a couple of the guys that could also maybe
Speaker 7: call Gavin's uncle and talk to them about that. I'm
Speaker 7: not going to mention any names, but there's a couple
Speaker 7: of the guys that are kind of scuffling right now.
Speaker 7: Everyone's trying to find what works with them. There's no
Speaker 7: pat way for two players, or three players or twenty
Speaker 7: players didn't necessarily hit the same way. We're all different strengths,
Speaker 7: we're different reaction, we're different eye sights. Everything else is
Speaker 7: rather fluid. So you can't timestamp everyone and say well,
Speaker 7: you have to do it this way, you have to
Speaker 7: do it this way. What works for you individually?
Speaker 5: Hey, maybe Gavin lex will invite the team over to
Speaker 5: his uncle's house because the team is going to Milwaukee
Speaker 5: next week.
Speaker 6: Oh does he have cookies? Oh?
Speaker 5: Yeah, they got brats, they got custard, and they got
Speaker 5: hitting tips.
Speaker 7: Okay, well if they have cookies, that means that Freddy
Speaker 7: will remain.
Speaker 5: Thanks, Rick, appreciate the time. Great to see you. Smile.
Speaker 5: We'll send it back you in the studio.

Speaker 5: Well, it's Taco Tuesday and we all know it's a
Speaker 5: celebration at Dodger Stadium on Taco Tuesday, and it's a
Speaker 5: celebration every time we have the man Anthony Banda joining
Speaker 5: us second time on the show. I appreciate you taking
Speaker 5: the time out. I know the energy level is high,
Speaker 5: but you gotta be ready, Bunda.
Speaker 6: I'm ready. Yeah. What are we talking about right now?
Speaker 6: Talk for Tuesdays? Yeah?
Speaker 5: Why are you so laid back? Man? Why are you
Speaker 5: trying to be so suave right now?
Speaker 11: I am always laid back. I don't have any I'm
Speaker 11: not a rara guy or upbeat guys. I just always
Speaker 11: been this way. My father's that way.
Speaker 5: How about that? Maybe that explains why you have a
Speaker 5: low heartbeat on the mound. You never get to you
Speaker 5: never let the game get too fast. Your heartbeat just
Speaker 5: mellow like you are right now.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 11: I I think you know within that my head, my
Speaker 11: thoughts and everything, obviously they're racing, but the controlling of
Speaker 11: the thoughts and understanding what it is that I need
Speaker 11: to do to you know, proceed to the next pitch
Speaker 11: or whatever it is, and understand like the sequence that
Speaker 11: I've already pitched to. Uh, you know that those are
Speaker 11: the kind of things that I'm that that's going through
Speaker 11: my head. But I was always taught not to show
Speaker 11: too much emotion on the on the mound.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 11: I was always a kid that, you know, younger, younger days,
Speaker 11: I would have a lot of emotions just from like
Speaker 11: failing and being upset, you know, And I was always
Speaker 11: getting in trouble for that. So that was something instilled
Speaker 11: in me right away, and uh, my father kept on it,
Speaker 11: and I think it's evolved into the sense of just
Speaker 11: understanding what it is I need to do on the
Speaker 11: mound and then move on.
Speaker 5: So two lefties and that Dodger bullpen on opposite the
Speaker 5: ends of the spectrum as far as showing emotion on
Speaker 5: the mount. Alex Vessi is the complete opposite.
Speaker 11: He's a great day. He's uh, he does, he does
Speaker 11: a tremendous job. He's having a great year. I've watched
Speaker 11: him on the other side a lot. I followed him
Speaker 11: a lot, and you know it's I think it's it
Speaker 11: fits him because you know, his personality is exactly that.
Speaker 6: Off the field.
Speaker 11: He's very interactive, he's very uh you know, he's funny.
Speaker 11: Don't tell him I said that, but he is funny.
Speaker 11: He gets he gets me to laugh and stuff like that.
Speaker 11: But no, watching him throw and watching him, you know,
Speaker 11: be himself and that that was That's the biggest thing
Speaker 11: I guess you can say as far as being confident
Speaker 11: and stuff like that, is if you're allowed to be yourself,
Speaker 11: you're gonna you're gonna shine and and be that. And
Speaker 11: you know, everybody around the clubhouse loves him. Everybody knows
Speaker 11: who he is. Everybody, you know, enjoys the energy that
Speaker 11: he brings every single day.
Speaker 5: Los Ange list knows who Anthony Bonda is as well.
Speaker 5: With how well you've been pitching, Anthony, I'll ask you
Speaker 5: the question everybody else is asking, why has it come
Speaker 5: together for you right now with this team.
Speaker 6: I don't know the exact answer to that.
Speaker 11: I think it has a lot to do with, you know,
Speaker 11: the information given, you know, the pitching coaches, the staff,
Speaker 11: everybody around me allowing me to be myself.
Speaker 6: That was the first thing they told me.
Speaker 11: And then you know, obviously like understanding what my job
Speaker 11: is is throwing the ball of the plate, you know,
Speaker 11: and just having confidence and conviction with the pitch that
Speaker 11: we're throwing. And you know, just understanding that. You know,
Speaker 11: at the end of the day, we're a team. We're
Speaker 11: all pulling for each other. And that's the biggest thing
Speaker 11: as far as like for me is to be able
Speaker 11: to understand that I have, you know, eight guys behind
Speaker 11: me that will do like everything and anything that can
Speaker 11: possibly do to win the ball game. So I just
Speaker 11: I just think it all comes down to a mixture
Speaker 11: of all that, to be honest. But I think the
Speaker 11: clubhouse vibes and everything else like that, the you know,
Speaker 11: the guys introducing me to newer people, bringing me in,
Speaker 11: understanding and accepting me. I think that's that plays a
Speaker 11: big role in it too.
Speaker 5: So what does it mean when the people pictures that
Speaker 5: come here say the Dodgers allow me to be myself?
Speaker 5: Does that mean off the field or does it mean
Speaker 5: as a pitcher they allow you to pitch to who
Speaker 5: you are?
Speaker 11: Both you know, you know, if you're in this clubhouse
Speaker 11: for a reason, you have something some something special about
Speaker 11: you and they want to bring that out. They do
Speaker 11: a very good job of bringing that out. And you know,
Speaker 11: within this clubhouse there's there's no egos, there's no you know,
Speaker 11: anything else like that. Of course, the Dodgers is loaded
Speaker 11: with superstars, but they treat we treat each other just
Speaker 11: like anybody else on the Street, you know, with respect,
Speaker 11: you know, confidence and everything else like that that comes
Speaker 11: with that. But I think that's it's a it's a
Speaker 11: mixture of both. When they when they allow us to
Speaker 11: be ourselves, They allow us to be ourselves in the clubhouse,
Speaker 11: allow us to be ourselves on the field, and I
Speaker 11: think that's just where we can just relax and just
Speaker 11: go play some baseball.
Speaker 5: Love it, Anthony, thanks a lot for the time. Great
Speaker 5: to have you on the pregame show again. The only
Speaker 5: rule on the Dodgers have your bag on time. That
Speaker 5: comes from Alex Torus, the Dodgers clubhouse manager. You better
Speaker 5: have your bag on time or he'll be knocking on
Speaker 5: your hotel door.
Speaker 6: Okay, all right, cool, There he.
Speaker 5: Goes Dodger left handed reliever. Everybody knows him now and

Speaker 4: against left handed starters. So have fun, Kersh, have fun,
Speaker 4: Christopher Sanchez.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it should be a good time for Clayton Kershaw.
Speaker 7: One of the things I think that he needs to
Speaker 7: improve upon is that what's really weird is the last
Speaker 7: outing that he had the first time in his career
Speaker 7: did not have at least one strikeout. But he throws
Speaker 7: a high percentage of breaking stuff, in fact, the last
Speaker 7: two years second most in baseball sixty percent. And then
Speaker 7: you switch over to Sanchez, who's going to start for Philadelphia.
Speaker 6: He gets a.
Speaker 7: Ton of swings and misses at off speed pitches. In particular,
Speaker 7: it is going to be the change up. In fact,
Speaker 7: the last two years he's had change up strikeouts. Sixty
Speaker 7: three percent of his punchouts had been on the change up.
Speaker 7: As a hitter, don't expand the strength zone.
