Speaker 2: game series against the Tampa Bay Rays. Bobby Miller on
Speaker 2: the mound, first pitch, coming up at seven to ten,
Speaker 2: and with more, let's head out to the Gallpen Motors
Speaker 2: Broadcast booth as we welcome in Steven Nelson and Rick
Speaker 2: Monday guys, Hey you Tim.
Speaker 6: Happy Friday to you and everybody heading the Dodgers Stadium
Speaker 6: for tonight's series opener against the Tampa Bay Rays, a
Speaker 6: rematch of the twenty twenty World Series, of course, won
Speaker 6: by the Dodgers.
Speaker 5: How would the off day treat them? O?
Speaker 7: Nice to see you, glad you could show up. Nice socks,
Speaker 7: by the way on top of it.
Speaker 5: But the viewers don't hear or see. Doesn't hurt them.
Speaker 7: Well, sometimes it pays to be on radio. And I
Speaker 7: say that only because on the last road trip I
Speaker 7: had to sub in for Oral herscheizer. You did, and
Speaker 7: you were doing the play by play on television and
Speaker 7: you had a nice jacket on, and I packed for radio.
Speaker 7: So I just wanted to mention that the socks issue. Now,
Speaker 7: since we're on radio and people can't see.
Speaker 6: It, it always comes back to the wardrobe. And for
Speaker 6: this game tonight, it comes down to Bobby Miller for
Speaker 6: the Dodgers model. This is a pivotal start, not just
Speaker 6: for the team, of course, the four game lead in
Speaker 6: the division, as they've played good baseball of late. Trying
Speaker 6: to kind of keep go stride for stride for punch
Speaker 6: with the Diamondbacks and the Padres.
Speaker 5: But for Bobby.
Speaker 6: Miller as an individual, okay, he's not long on time
Speaker 6: here in terms of the rest of the regular season.
Speaker 6: So this was someone at the beginning of the year
Speaker 6: was for sure going to get the ball for the
Speaker 6: Dodgers in a short postseason series. Now you don't know
Speaker 6: if he's going to be on the roster, to put
Speaker 6: it frankly, so for him, he's got to put his
Speaker 6: best foot forward after his last start in.
Speaker 7: Saint Louis, and Dave Roberts talked about it earlier this afternoon.
Speaker 7: He says, this is a very important start for Bobby Miller.
Speaker 5: He starts to look at it.
Speaker 7: Miller has been a lack of command of the strike zone.
Speaker 7: He's falling behind accounts, and Roberts is also saying, look,
Speaker 7: it's important to throw first pit strikes and you have
Speaker 7: to be able to challenge some hitters. So if you're
Speaker 7: looking at Bobby Miller, yes, a big, big outing because
Speaker 7: postseason gets closer and closer and closer, and I think
Speaker 7: if we're looking at it honestly, Walker Buehler is falling
Speaker 7: into that same category. His next outing, throwing strikes, command
Speaker 7: of the strike zone, because again the clock is ticking
Speaker 7: for postseason.
Speaker 6: Bobby Miller will be opposed by the left handed tyler
Speaker 6: Alexander of the Tampa Bay Rays, and the Dodgers have
Speaker 6: typically all.
Speaker 5: You've been excellent against left handed starters.
Speaker 6: What's notable for me Mo wh looking at this matchup,
Speaker 6: is that Gavin Lux is getting a start against LEFTI
Speaker 6: he has just forty one played appearances against left handed
Speaker 6: pitchers all year long, not just starters, left handed pitchers.
Speaker 6: So with the way he's been swinging the bat, the
Speaker 6: Dodgers giving them a chance to settle in against south
Speaker 6: balls and give him a chance to earn it every day,
Speaker 6: not just the platoon role.
Speaker 7: Yeah, and Lux has been hot. I mean, there's no
Speaker 7: way of fans the butts about it. You look those
Speaker 7: last thirty games hitting at three to sixty seven. Roberts
Speaker 7: Is also asked about Lux being in there against the
Speaker 7: left and he goes, look, if we're looking at Alexander,
Speaker 7: who's going to pitch for the race, He said he's
Speaker 7: somewhat neutral. What that means is the average left hands
Speaker 7: versus right handers against him, there's not that much of
Speaker 7: a disparity in the numbers. So Lux is in there.
Speaker 7: Mounsey not starting tonight, not just because of a left hander.
Speaker 7: He had a little bit of soreness after playing the
Speaker 7: first three games. Nothing's going to keep him out of the
Speaker 7: lineup that needed tonight. I'm back in either pinch hitting
Speaker 7: or that end of it. He'll be returning to the
Speaker 7: starting lineup tomorrow night.
Speaker 6: First pitch from Bobby Miller on the way in just
Speaker 6: a matter of time, Tim Kates, we'll talk to you
Speaker 6: as soon.

Speaker 1: This is Kirston's Corner with Kirston Losson.
Speaker 2: Hey, Kirsten now joins this before the series opener against
Speaker 2: the Tampa Bay Rays yesterday, O Kirston a big move
Speaker 2: for the Dodgers activating Chris Taylor. That means there needed
Speaker 2: to be a seat opened up at the dinner table
Speaker 2: and Jason Hayward gets dfaid.
Speaker 9: Yeah, and it's it was a heartbreaking one because when
Speaker 9: you think about what Jason has meant to this team,
Speaker 9: whether it's been just a friend, a leader, someone who's
Speaker 9: showed up and performed. We've seen kind of like the
Speaker 9: I feel like resurrection might be too strong of a word,
Speaker 9: but just how when he got to this organization last year,
Speaker 9: how he shined and then coming back share with a
Speaker 9: lot of excitement, so he's meant a lot to a
Speaker 9: lot of people. We also know that him and Freddie
Speaker 9: Freeman are best of friends, So it was definitely a
Speaker 9: tough one just knowing what he's meant to this team,
Speaker 9: what he's meant as a leader to this group, the
Speaker 9: guy in the clubhouse, things like that. Even I mean
Speaker 9: the three run home run the other day, Like you
Speaker 9: saw the excitement from the guys, and so you could
Speaker 9: truly see just what he meant to this group. So
Speaker 9: it was definitely heartbreaking, But I mean, it's the sport,
Speaker 9: it's the reality of it. We knew it was going
Speaker 9: to be a roster crunch. We knew that there was
Speaker 9: going to have to be a big decision to bring
Speaker 9: Chris Taylor back. And he's healthy now and he's ready
Speaker 9: to go, so you know, it's what had to be done.
Speaker 9: But it is good news that Chris Taylor is back,
Speaker 9: So as much as you kind of have to balance
Speaker 9: it both in both hands, I guess.
Speaker 2: Yeah, for Chris Taylor, it's an opportunity to come back
Speaker 2: and show that he's still got something left because he
Speaker 2: went onto the injured list having a really disappointing first
Speaker 2: half of the season.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean there's a lot of swing and miss
Speaker 9: in the first half of the season, and he even
Speaker 9: had moments where we started seeing some more power towards
Speaker 9: the Before he went on the il, he was he
Speaker 9: was honest, you know, he was very transparent that there
Speaker 9: were a lot of frustrations for him. He's working through
Speaker 9: a lot with his swing. He couldn't get the right feel.
Speaker 9: He finally started to feel a little bit something, then
Speaker 9: he had the groin injury. So he was able to
Speaker 9: use this last month. He's four weeks down to really reset,
Speaker 9: and so he feels that he did some tinkering to
Speaker 9: his swing, a few mechanical changes, and he feels like
Speaker 9: now returning back to the big leagues, he's healthy, he's
Speaker 9: ready to go, and he does feel like his swing
Speaker 9: is in a really good spot to bring some consistency
Speaker 9: at the plate. So, you know, obviously now is going
Speaker 9: to be telling facing big league pictures, but the hope
Speaker 9: is that he can get going because this is the
Speaker 9: most important time of the season. It's a division race there,
Speaker 9: you know, it's a Pennant race, and they're looking to
Speaker 9: win the World Series. So now is a time that
Speaker 9: he needs to get going for this group.
Speaker 2: Speaking of getting going, Bobby Miller needs to get it
Speaker 2: going for the Dodgers.
Speaker 9: He does, and he also needs to get going for
Speaker 9: himself personally, just you know, to continue to build that
Speaker 9: confidence on the mound. This year has obviously been a
Speaker 9: tough one for him, you know, uh, dealing with a
Speaker 9: little bit of an injury and being optioned. So now
Speaker 9: that he's back, he did speak to he was talking
Speaker 9: to some of the guys the other day and just
Speaker 9: saying that, you know, he does feel like the work
Speaker 9: he was doing in his bullpens this week, he does
Speaker 9: believe like that's going to put him in a really
Speaker 9: good spot coming into this start. So, you know, hopefully
Speaker 9: this can be a step in the right direction because
Speaker 9: ultimately we've been saying, you know, we're getting closer to
Speaker 9: October and want to win games you know, really are
Speaker 9: going to matter, and we're going to need someone like
Speaker 9: Bobby to be an option. So this is an important
Speaker 9: one for him, whether it's just being a young picture,
Speaker 9: getting his confidence back, showing that his stuff is playing,
Speaker 9: and being confident with that stuff. So yeah, we'll see
Speaker 9: how he goes against this this race. Team has been
Speaker 9: not playing so well as of late, but you never know.
Speaker 9: Like Moloki likes to say, they all drive Mercedes too,
Speaker 9: so they're still big leaguers.
Speaker 2: I wish I drove one, Christen, appreciate it. We'll check

Speaker 12: Over there and you know, are goula be the best
Speaker 12: in baseball and you know, to be able to just
Speaker 12: get a couple of good swings off felt.
Speaker 8: Really really good.
Speaker 12: Felt good to be back out there, and uh, most
Speaker 12: importantly it was a good, good series win for the team,
Speaker 12: serious sweep. It was uh, you know, felt the whole
Speaker 12: team up and down the lineup was putting together really
Speaker 12: good at bats and it was it was fun to
Speaker 12: be back out there.
Speaker 13: We talked about like so it was almost going back
Speaker 13: like through spring training and how much time you weren't
Speaker 13: swinging this summer, Like how much uncertainty was there just
Speaker 13: coming back of like how you were going to feel
Speaker 13: at the plate, and has it been almost unexpected, like
Speaker 13: how well this week's gone kind of getting back into things.
Speaker 12: I definitely say it's unexpected considering, uh, my timing wasn't
Speaker 12: exactly there with low nineties V load during my rehab
Speaker 12: assignment and all of a sudden facing several guys still
Speaker 12: on a hundred.
Speaker 11: It's a you know, definitely unexpected from me.
Speaker 12: But like I said, it felt good just trying to
Speaker 12: keep things simple and I guess some good results out there.
Speaker 11: So much to be a gay as helped the fact
Speaker 11: you're able to sort of put together the office. Of
Speaker 11: course you did it against.

Speaker 5: Skate?
Speaker 11: Oh, when when when we're at our best, we're wearing
Speaker 11: them down.
Speaker 12: You know, he was at one hundred pitches in the
Speaker 12: fifth in a and it's, uh, you know, he was
Speaker 12: doing pretty well, and we just always.
Speaker 11: Kept wearing them down.
Speaker 12: And then you know, for a guy to go out
Speaker 12: there until that many pitches, you know, every every single night,
Speaker 12: all three guys that we faced, it's it just wears
Speaker 12: them down and it gets the bullpend of the game
Speaker 12: and it allows us to be facing. You know, guys
Speaker 12: that we feel a lot better at instance, so you know,
Speaker 12: it was just it was it was fun to watch
Speaker 12: up and done the lineup.

Speaker 3: On your home for the Blue All Season Law Law.
Speaker 2: It's the Dodgers in Tampa Bay Raised, Bobby Miller, Tyler
Speaker 2: Alexander the pitching match up, first pitch of this three
Speaker 2: game series coming up at seven to ten. The umpiring
Speaker 2: crew for tonight's game, brought to you by Fred Loya Insurance,
Speaker 2: celebrating fifty years of providing reliable and affordable car insurance
Speaker 2: for you and your family.
Speaker 1: Joining Tim Kits on Dodgers on Deck.
Speaker 14: I accept everybody for who they are.
Speaker 1: This is Dodger inside there, David Basse.
Speaker 3: All right, DV.
Speaker 2: The decision for Jason Hayward to be DFAD, What exactly
Speaker 2: does this mean?
Speaker 14: Well, Number one, the Dodgers just had a roster crunch.
Speaker 14: We've been talking about this for the last two weeks.
Speaker 14: The Dodgers. We're going to have some roster decisions to
Speaker 14: make that are not going to be comfortable conversations. And
Speaker 14: unfortunately for Jason Hayward this season, he just hasn't had
Speaker 14: the same top of year that he had a year ago.
Speaker 14: And also with Mookie Betts moving the right field because
Speaker 14: of the play off, Gavin Lucks and obviously shortstop not.
Speaker 8: Being his position, it's been fun.
Speaker 14: Aren't few between as far as opportunities for Jason Hayward,
Speaker 14: and frankly, when he has had the opportunities, he hasn't delivered.
Speaker 14: And I know everybody's very emotional over the recency bias
Speaker 14: of his pinch hit three run home run, but after that,
Speaker 14: there really isn't much to really look at as far
Speaker 14: as results go recently. So it's unfortunate the Dodgers are
Speaker 14: in a way different position they were in than what
Speaker 14: they were in just a few weeks ago, and as
Speaker 14: far as the clubhouse goes tim obviously guys are emotional
Speaker 14: about it. They all loved Jason Hayward, especially Freddie Freeman,
Speaker 14: who did not come out for batting practice or his
Speaker 14: usual pregame work with Dino Ebel. But if you go
Speaker 14: back to twenty fifteen, the Dodgers traded backup catcher aj Ellis,
Speaker 14: who was best friends and personal catcher for Clayton Kershaw.
Speaker 14: There is some sort of track record to help the
Speaker 14: team on the march, and the Dodgers feel that when
Speaker 14: you look and stack up the production Chris Taylor, Kevin
Speaker 14: Kiermeyer and Andy pas Or Dalton rushing in September are
Speaker 14: better than what they were getting with Jason Hayward.
Speaker 2: David has driven by Ford. If there's one thing we like,
Speaker 2: it's choices. Find yours with the four f one to
Speaker 2: fifty gas hybrid all electric tough, this mark can only
Speaker 2: be called F one fifty Ryan Pepioi de Luca back
Speaker 2: at Dodger Stadium DV.
Speaker 14: Yeah, Johnny DeLuca actually tried to come talk to Clayton
Speaker 14: Kershaw earlier today and Kershaw waved him off and said,
Speaker 14: get out of here, dude, I'm facing you tomorrow. We're
Speaker 14: not friends until after tomorrow. And De Luca scampered off
Speaker 14: to the other side of the field. So that just
Speaker 14: gives you a little insight on the competitive spirit that
Speaker 14: Kershaw still has where everybody else is still fraternizing, and
Speaker 14: Kershaw just couldn't believe De Luca would even offer to
Speaker 14: come over. It's not like Kershaw doesn't like him, but
Speaker 14: like you said, we're facing each other tomorrow. We gotta
Speaker 14: draw the line until after that.
Speaker 2: Well, do Dave appreciate it. We'll check back you with
Speaker 2: you in just a couple of minutes. Dv's gonna go
Speaker 2: one on one with the skipper, Dave Roberts. That's coming
Speaker 2: up in fifteen minutes, coming up here on Marongo because
Speaker 2: you know, Dodgers on deck will dive deeper to this
Speaker 2: pitching matchup as well. Steven and Rick will have the
Speaker 2: keys to the game. But up next, you're Dodgers' magical moment,
Speaker 2: Dodgers and Rays meeting in the World Series just four
Speaker 2: years ago. We'll go back in time and relive one
Speaker 2: of the big moments. So leave you up to first

Speaker 2: in the fifth, two more in the same Clayton Kershaw

Speaker 2: allowing just two hits, one of them was solo home running.
Speaker 2: He struck out eight along the way. Dodgers beat the

Speaker 2: night Dodgers and Rays. I'm Tim Katson. This is Los
Speaker 2: Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 1: It is Lorongo Casino, Dodgers on Dodgers on Deck. Y'all
Speaker 1: on the official home of La Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 2: It's the Dodgers in Tampa Bay Rays on this Friday Night.

Speaker 1: And now joined by David Bass saying, here's La Dodgers
Speaker 1: broadcaster and World Series champion Dodger Rick Monday.
Speaker 14: Rick, the Dodgers come into play tonight with the best
Speaker 14: record in baseball. There is no perfect team, but the Dodgers,
Speaker 14: with all the holes everybody pokes in them, still have
Speaker 14: the best record in baseball.
Speaker 7: You know, it's amazing because what was it seven days ago?
Speaker 7: A lot of people say, hey, this guy is falling. Well,
Speaker 7: you know, the season is not over. Let's be upfront
Speaker 7: and about that. It's a nice position to be in tonight.
Speaker 7: The question is what's the position when the dust settles
Speaker 7: on the twenty ninth of September, when the Dodgers walk
Speaker 7: off the field in Denver, the final game of the
Speaker 7: regular season against the Rockies, that's the number that's going
Speaker 7: to really mean something. Else, and if we start to
Speaker 7: look at some things, let's be realistic. Yes, they're in
Speaker 7: first place, but if the Dodgers don't win some games
Speaker 7: in that trip over to Arizona, the next trip and
Speaker 7: then there for four games, here's the scenario that Dwayn McDonald,
Speaker 7: who's right on top of it, brought up. The Dodgers
Speaker 7: would not be in the best position as far as
Speaker 7: if you have to go to a wildcard area because
Speaker 7: they would not have the home field advantage against either
Speaker 7: San Diego or Arizona because of the season. You know,
Speaker 7: if Arizona wins a lot of those games, those four
Speaker 7: games over in Phoenix, the Dodgers will need to win
Speaker 7: it outright, unless they want to play on their own.
Speaker 14: That is such a negative way to think by Dwayne McDonald. Well,
Speaker 14: the Dodgers are going to win this division rate by
Speaker 14: at least five games.
Speaker 7: I like your attitude, and I'm not certain that number
Speaker 7: is large enough. I think that's going to be a
Speaker 7: little bit larger. However, there's a lot of baseball that
Speaker 7: has to be be played. Okay, they swept a series
Speaker 7: against the Mariners, Okay, well, and good now Tampa comes in.
Speaker 7: They're not really lighting up by storm. They're ten and
Speaker 7: a half out of the American League East Division. However,
Speaker 7: every team that comes in here understands they're matched up
Speaker 7: against the Dodgers. And as you opened up this segment,
Speaker 7: they have the best record in Major League Baseball? What
Speaker 7: do the Rays want to do? Just like the Baltimore
Speaker 7: Orioles are going to say when they come in, they
Speaker 7: want to beat the Dodgers because right now they're one
Speaker 7: of the elite teams in baseball, and it's one of
Speaker 7: the elite franchises in the history of the game.
Speaker 14: We all get caught up in the offense, Rick, and
Speaker 14: we all have been asked whether or not the Dodgers,
Speaker 14: now with a healthy lineup, are going to take off.
Speaker 14: But doesn't it come back down to that night's starting
Speaker 14: pitcher if the Dodgers are able to continue winning.
Speaker 7: I just had this conversation with some of the Rays
Speaker 7: of broadcasters and they said, if there's a vulnerability right now,
Speaker 7: in this instance, a weakness on the team right now,
Speaker 7: what would it be? And I said pitching and probably
Speaker 7: starting bitching the reason because there's a lot of guys
Speaker 7: that were injured coming back. Walker Buehler still has to
Speaker 7: prove that he's one hundred percent being able to come back.
Speaker 7: Dave Roberts says, you know, and listening to Dave a
Speaker 7: little bit earlier, was asked about Bobby Miller's start tonight,
Speaker 7: how big of a start is it for Bobby Miller,
Speaker 7: and Dave Roberts did not mince words. He says, look,
Speaker 7: first of all, it's important to throw first bit strikes.
Speaker 7: Then he goes and it's a very important outing for
Speaker 7: Bobby Miller because he the team needs to win games,
Speaker 7: and b the postseason is getting closer and closer, and
Speaker 7: somebody's going to have to stand up and say, look,
Speaker 7: I've got the starting position in that rotation at postseason.
Speaker 14: It would be nice if Tyler glass Now and Yoshi
Speaker 14: Yama Mota were healthy at the same time as well.
Speaker 7: Yeah, absolutely, So you know, for glass Now, he's going
Speaker 7: to be maybe throwing tomorrow, playing catch if you will.
Speaker 7: He's been shut down for five days. Yamamota is going
Speaker 7: to come back and have a bullpen session. He's maybe
Speaker 7: getting closer and closer to going out. It's still a
Speaker 7: big question mark as far as glass Now, where is
Speaker 7: he and to the extent of his injury, how much.
Speaker 7: Is it going to really delay his return?
Speaker 14: It's amazing the picture that glass Now was traded for.
Speaker 14: Ryan Peppio has made nineteen starts this year for the
Speaker 14: Rays and has pitched really well. Glass Now is only
Speaker 14: three starts ahead of him.
Speaker 7: So I was wondering how I was going to take
Speaker 7: you to get to Pepio because I saw you talking
Speaker 7: to him down on the field, and I if I
Speaker 7: saw it right, if I correctly saw it.
Speaker 8: You also did an interview with him.
Speaker 14: Yes, we will have Ryan Peppio on the pregame show
Speaker 14: tomorrow coming up later today, an exclusive one on one
Speaker 14: with the manager Dave Roberts.
Speaker 11: Oh how about that?
Speaker 14: Oh, time you will appreciate what his life is like.
Speaker 11: Okay, fine, I'm fired up today, Rick, are you?
Speaker 8: Yeah?
Speaker 7: At least you're not fired Okay.
Speaker 8: Thanks a lot.
Speaker 14: We'll send it back to you at the studio for now.

Speaker 3: And that is the great Dave Roberts.
Speaker 14: Thanks a lot for the time.
Speaker 8: Oh, thanks, David, it's good to catch up with you.
Speaker 17: And man, we've had a fun series thus far with
Speaker 17: the Mariners, and I am looking forward to this race
Speaker 17: series and a little rematch of twenty twenty and we'll
Speaker 17: see if there's another Tyler Glass Noow deal to be had.
Speaker 14: Hey, Brad Paisley already called me and he said, can
Speaker 14: we recreate what happened in Nashville after one of these games?
Speaker 14: So be ready for a late night one of these nights.
Speaker 8: No.
Speaker 17: So it's funny, is that just the other night he
Speaker 17: texted me after that big Jason Hayward, you know Homer. Yeah,
Speaker 17: And it was about two o'clock his time in Nashville,
Speaker 17: and I say, hey, man, you're supposed to be asleep
Speaker 17: right now, and he said the bar doesn't close till
Speaker 17: four in Nashville, so that was a scene of the
Speaker 17: crime right there. So he's obviously watching a lot of
Speaker 17: our games and excited for the series.
Speaker 14: You're so welcoming and you let anybody at any moment
Speaker 14: come into your office. But have you noticed some of
Speaker 14: these celebrities that are more locked in on the Dodgers
Speaker 14: and not just being here for a night out. Are
Speaker 14: you surprised by some of these high profile people that
Speaker 14: are actually locked in.
Speaker 17: No, I am, and it's exciting, and I think that
Speaker 17: you know, I played for the Dodgers in early two thousands,
Speaker 17: and I think that now obviously with social media and
Speaker 17: how well we've been playing, and obviously with show Hey Mookie,
Speaker 17: we have so much star power Freddie and obviously with Clayton,
Speaker 17: and you know, there's just you know, the Dodger organization,
Speaker 17: the brand, I think is at an all time high.
Speaker 8: And it's a global brand.
Speaker 17: And so now you've talked about the entire globe and
Speaker 17: you're talking about a list celebrities that are big Dodger
Speaker 17: fans and rocking the La logo everywhere.
Speaker 8: So it's a lot of fun for all of us.
Speaker 14: How does Dave Roberts manage not only his twenty six players,
Speaker 14: but also managing all those demands, Because I'm not sure
Speaker 14: people realize that being you, you don't have just seventy
Speaker 14: ten on your mind. You have a lot of people
Speaker 14: coming through your office.
Speaker 8: I do.
Speaker 17: I do, and it's something I signed up for. It's
Speaker 17: a responsibility I think that you know, as a manager,
Speaker 17: there's two sides.
Speaker 8: I think for people to understand.
Speaker 17: There's the baseball operation side, which is the prospects, which
Speaker 17: is the minor leagues, which is the major League certainly
Speaker 17: the baseball operation side, and there's also the business side,
Speaker 17: where then you've got sponsorships, ownership, media, fans and all
Speaker 17: that kind of matters, and they all have their own
Speaker 17: importance for the organization. And so that's front of mine
Speaker 17: for me, and I played for the Dodgers. I'm a
Speaker 17: Southern California guy, so I value the organization.
Speaker 8: I value the fans.
Speaker 17: So but I will say, though, Dave, at seven to ten,
Speaker 17: after the national anthem is done and gone, I always
Speaker 17: joke with my coach that the best part of the
Speaker 17: day now is about to be upon us, and that's
Speaker 17: playing baseball.
Speaker 14: All right, before I let you go, I harken back
Speaker 14: to spring training. You invited Tim Grover to speak to
Speaker 14: your team. I'm not sure if you remember the analogy
Speaker 14: he used as far as not allowing yourself to dim
Speaker 14: the switch. Not flip the switch, but dim the switch.
Speaker 14: Do you feel with the Diamondbacks and Padres breathing down
Speaker 14: your neck, it's allowed your players not to be able
Speaker 14: to dim the switch?
Speaker 8: I think so. I think that you can.
Speaker 17: You know, I hear players talking in the in the
Speaker 17: clubhouse and the dugout, you know, and you know, news
Speaker 17: conferences or whatever, and interviews and talking about what their
Speaker 17: psyche is, and I think that's a good thing.
Speaker 8: We're not running from the competition.
Speaker 17: Being in a pennant race certainly something new to us
Speaker 17: over the last you know, nine years for me twenty
Speaker 17: twenty one obviously with the Giants to the end. But
Speaker 17: I think it's a good thing. You know, competition brings
Speaker 17: out the best in everyone, and so we got to
Speaker 17: go out there and continue to play well. We got
Speaker 17: the Diamondbacks coming up for a big four game series
Speaker 17: at their play, so that's gonna matter. We got the
Speaker 17: Padres later on the year, that's gonna matter, and you know,
Speaker 17: credits those guys. They're both playing great baseball. And there's
Speaker 17: a lot of parody in baseball right now, which is
Speaker 17: as a fan that's a great thing. But we got
Speaker 17: to take care of business, and I like those guys
Speaker 17: we have.
Speaker 14: Hey, Dave Roberts sets the tone every day in that clubhouse,
Speaker 14: and teams take on the personality of their manager. And
Speaker 14: this team certainly has done something special to this point,
Speaker 14: and Dave Roberts is the leader.
Speaker 8: Hey, big victory.
Speaker 14: In this interview, I did not ask you about Showani,
Speaker 14: and I did not ask you who the Dodger closer is,
Speaker 14: because unlike others, I listen when you say you have
Speaker 14: a lot of different guys out there, So big victory today.
Speaker 17: Thank you, Dave. I appreciate that, and truth be told,
Speaker 17: I get the show. Hey questions. He's a generational type talent,
Speaker 17: and I think you know me, I maybe am a
Speaker 17: little slow moving at times, but I don't like to
Speaker 17: put the genie in the bottle too much. So you know,
Speaker 17: when a guy performs for a couple of outings, I
Speaker 17: don't want to kind of anoint somebody a king. So
Speaker 17: I like more of a sample size.
Speaker 14: No doubt. Anyway, you got to listen when the manager speaks,
Speaker 14: thanks a lot for the time, and really appreciate you
Speaker 14: doing this, and we'll see you down the stretch and
Speaker 14: we will see a lot of each other in October.
Speaker 8: Count on it. I look forward to Dave. Thanks for
Speaker 8: all your work.
Speaker 3: Man, all right, thank you.
Speaker 8: DV.

Speaker 2: it's game night, it's group night at Shaky's dot Com.
Speaker 2: We'll continue here Dodgers on Deck, and when we do,
Speaker 2: we'll break down this pitching matchup. Don't go anywhere. Dodgers
Speaker 2: raise first pitch at seven ten. I'm Tim Kates is
Speaker 2: the Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 1: This is Marongo Casino, Dodgers on Deck on your home
Speaker 1: for the Blue all season Low.
Speaker 3: It's a Dodgers and Rays on this Friday night.
Speaker 2: Dodgers first place atot the NL West, starting a three
Speaker 2: game series against Tampa Bay. First pitch coming up at
Speaker 2: seven ten.
Speaker 1: And now before the Dodgers hit the diamond, we look
Speaker 1: at the pitching matchup for.
Speaker 2: A hit about your Southern California Toyota dealers. Turn your
Speaker 2: trail dominating off roading dreams into a reality on All
Speaker 2: New twenty twenty four Tacoma. See your Toyota dealer today.
Speaker 2: They make it easy. Tyler Alexander on the mound for
Speaker 2: Tampa Bay five and three, five seventeen ERA, thirty year
Speaker 2: old left hander, so he'll see the Dodgers to left
Speaker 2: handers atop the lineup in Freddie Freeman at Shohyo Tani,
Speaker 2: former second round pick of the Tigers in twenty fifteen
Speaker 2: out of Texas, A and M bastball slider changeup guy.
Speaker 2: He's a relief pitcher that's followed an opener in each
Speaker 2: of his last seven starts, where he's three to zero
Speaker 2: with a two to twenty five ERA over the last five.
Speaker 2: Last time out, same thing came behind an opener and
Speaker 2: he went five and two third innings, three runs, five hits,
Speaker 2: five strikeouts against the Diamonbacks Tonight. He's getting the start
Speaker 2: his seven start of this season, his seventeenth appearance as
Speaker 2: the Dodgers will face this left handed to night for
Speaker 2: the second time.
Speaker 3: In his career.
Speaker 2: Previously, he had a start in twenty twenty two, in
Speaker 2: which he gave up four runs in two and a
Speaker 2: third innings and allowed two home runs. Chris Taylor, by
Speaker 2: the way, had one of those home runs for the Dodgers.
Speaker 2: Bobby Miller on the mound for the Blue one in
Speaker 2: three with an eight to two ERA. The twenty five
Speaker 2: year old right hander has had a rocky season up
Speaker 2: and down from TRIPLEA to the major leagues. Former first
Speaker 2: round pick making his ninth start here in the big leagues.
Speaker 2: He's made one start since coming back to the Dodgers.
Speaker 2: That was last Saturday in Saint Louis. He went four
Speaker 2: and two third innings, gave up four runs on eight hits,
Speaker 2: a couple of home runs, struck out just one, and
Speaker 2: walked only one, so there's a positive he had some
Speaker 2: control issues before that. He had three walks in his
Speaker 2: previous four outings of the big league level. Bobby Miller
Speaker 2: looking to give the Dodgers some length to night. He
Speaker 2: has never faced the Tampa Bay Rays in his career,
Speaker 2: so it's Bobby Miller Tyler Alexander Dodgers raised the start
Speaker 2: of a three game series from Dodgers Stadium. We're fifteen
Speaker 2: minutes away from first pitch, Keys to the game. Our
Speaker 2: next I'm Tim Katson. This is the Los Angeles Dodgers

Speaker 1: Jack on the official home of LA Dodgers Baseball.
Speaker 2: Dodgers and Raise on this Friday night. Bobby Miller looking
Speaker 2: to go deep into this outing tonight for the Dodgers.
Speaker 2: Help out this bullpen Tyler, Alexander an Opener, Bulkeannings guy,
Speaker 2: He'll get the start, the left hander will face the
Speaker 2: course show he o Tani. Freddie Freeman is one of
Speaker 2: the top three hitters in the Dodgers lineup. That's why
Speaker 2: he is out there for Tampa. First pitch coming up
Speaker 2: at seven to ten. Dodgers fans and Hatcher listening in
Speaker 2: the experience by downloading the iHeartRadio app and listening in HD.
Speaker 2: It's all powered by our friends at Lacare Health Plan
Speaker 2: serving all Angelinos Lacare dot Org. All right, before first pitch,
Speaker 2: we head back out to the booth Stephen Nelson, Rick Monday, guys.
Speaker 5: Appreciate you. TC back here with Rick Monday. The Dodgers
Speaker 5: have won four in a row.
Speaker 6: They've won ten of the last thirteen, they had the
Speaker 6: third best record in baseball since the All Star break.
Speaker 6: But the issue is that the two teams ahead of
Speaker 6: them in that regard to the teams in their division. Granted,
Speaker 6: the lead in the division is still four games, and
Speaker 6: the Dodgers do own the best record in all of baseball,
Speaker 6: and they're in this stretch mall where on paper they should.
Speaker 5: Take care of business, and to this point they have.
Speaker 7: Yeah, paper's wonderful thing to have, is a nice position
Speaker 7: to be in, but you can't throw paper airplanes into
Speaker 7: postseason playing. And that's the Dodgers understand that. Again, Dave
Speaker 7: Roberts is kind of alluding to that as well. Earlier
Speaker 7: today they one in twenty two at home. Excellent percentages
Speaker 7: on that end of it. The Dodgers are not to
Speaker 7: the finish line yet. And you cannot overlook this series
Speaker 7: or the Baltimore series that will follow and say, well,
Speaker 7: let's look at Arizona the next road trip they'll be
Speaker 7: over in Phoenix for four games against that ball club.
Speaker 5: Don't look forward looked.
Speaker 7: At tonight is that team on the other side. They
Speaker 7: want to beat the team that currently has the best
Speaker 7: record in all of.
Speaker 6: Baseball, and that's the desperate race team. They're trying to
Speaker 6: hang on for postseason life. They did trade away a
Speaker 6: lot of pieces at the trade deadline, but they're still
Speaker 6: mathematically theoretically in the postseason.
Speaker 5: Hunt.
Speaker 6: I could ask you about a number of different things
Speaker 6: before we say goodbye and send it back to Tim,
Speaker 6: but I just want to tee you up on an anniversary.
Speaker 6: This date in Dodger history, thirty five years ago, there
Speaker 6: was a game between the Dodgers and the Montreal expos
Speaker 6: in a certain mascot drew the ire of one Tommy
Speaker 6: Losorda and Yupie was ejected.
Speaker 5: Do you have any thoughts on this moment?
Speaker 7: Because that dugout was metal, including the top of it.
Speaker 7: The 'pie I don't know what the figure is supposed
Speaker 7: to be would constantly run on the visiting dugout on
Speaker 7: the top of it and make sure that he was
Speaker 7: stomping his feet on top of the dugout, and it
Speaker 7: was like reverberating inside. Tommy had enough and Yoopie was
Speaker 7: kicked out of the game. Yes, but he snuck back
Speaker 7: in and came back into the first row right behind
Speaker 7: the dug guy. A little bit later, so Tommy hadn't
Speaker 7: kicked out the second time.
Speaker 6: So I think maybe many people remember the highlight they
Speaker 6: can see Tommy and Upie barking. I don't know if
Speaker 6: you also remember the game. It lasted twenty two innings
Speaker 6: that night, and the Dodgers won one to nothing, nothing
Speaker 6: twenty two inning game, Like that's one run, that's all
Speaker 6: you need, and that's all it takes. Hopefully the Dodgers
Speaker 6: score one more run than the Tampa Bay race to
Speaker 6: night as they could go off this three game series.
Speaker 3: All right, thanks very much, first pitch coming up next.
Speaker 2: Dodgers start the night first place to top the NL West,
Speaker 2: best record in baseball, and they go into play with
Speaker 2: a four game lead in the division. David Vassade's got
Speaker 2: you cover with all the postgame of highlights reaction.
Speaker 3: Of course, Dodger talking as well. Enjoy it. Dodgers raises next.
